[11:52] <sunk8> you're welcome glicksau...
[11:52] <ifancho> bloopletech is this for checking the drive : fdisk -lu ?
[11:53] <ifancho> or i just have to use badblocks /dev/sda1 ?
[11:53] <sunk8> abountu, what's the filesystem?
[11:53] <bloopletech> ifancho, I have no idea
[11:53] <Jordan_U> cyrylm: su to an admin account.
[11:53] <bloopletech> ifancho, what does the manpage for fdisk say?
[11:53] <ifancho> i don`t know
[11:53] <ifancho> whre i have to look it
[11:54] <cutiyar> blitzo, what script?
[11:54] <abountu> btitzo, how can I figure out which one it is to mount it manually? I did lsusb, but I can't figure out which one, I  think it has a valid file system as it used to get mounted automatically
[11:54] <bloopletech> ifancho, open a terminal and type 'man fdisk' and hit enter
[11:54] <x_> hi
[11:54] <x_> 你好
[11:55] <glicksau> sunk8, heh that looks complex im just looking for a simple image slide show maker for websites :)
[11:55] <blitzo> cutiyar, if you are asking this so you can embed it in a script to where there isn't a console to type in the "yes", then you use a -y option.  if you are doing this from the command line then just try it see what happens
[11:55] <bloopletech> x_: chinese, japanese, korean, or?
[11:56] <cutiyar> blitzo, i used this sudo apt-get install amsn bluefish
[11:56] <Agan_squiddy> anyone using ZTE AC2726 modem? is it safe to unplug the modem without safely eject? coz ubuntu always gave me an error everytime i tried to eject it
[11:56] <blitzo> cutiyar: and....
[11:56] <sunk8> glicksau, what about openoffice presentation... it can save into a number of formats... some sites let u import .ppt
[11:56] <abountu> blitzo, how can I figure out which one it is to mount it manually? I did lsusb, but I can't figure out which one, I  think it has a valid file system as it used to get mounted automatically
[11:56] <bloopletech> abountu, sorry: I misdirected a remark at you before
[11:57] <bloopletech> I meant to direct it at Agan_squiddy
[11:57] <cutiyar> blitzo, it will download both of them ?
[11:57] <cyrylm> isn't it possible to log in on my account in a graphical terminal while being logged in as another user?
[11:57] <bloopletech> cyrylm, yes, open a terminal and type 'su <your user name>"
[11:57] <bloopletech> then you can sudo to root from your account
[11:58] <abhijit> Prasoon, your issue solved?
[11:58] <Agan_squiddy> bloopletech, ok sorry
[11:58] <AnxiousNut> which display manager does does xubutnu use? is it also GDM?
[11:58] <blitzo> abountu mine mounts as /dev/sdb1 - so try that: mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
[11:59] <Benkinooby> hi. as far as i understand the watchdog process is run for detectiong system hangs and fixing them with reboot. so is it necessary to run it on a personal computer/laptop wich is used by me the time it is powered on?
[11:59] <MaRk-I> abountu: unplug it and plug it back then check in terminal with:  dmesg
[11:59] <blitzo> Anxiousnut xubuntu uses xfce
[12:00] <AnxiousNut> blitzo that's the Desktop environment, im asking for the display manager, the one you see for login!
[12:00] <cyrylm> Jordan_U, bloopletech, thanks a lot :)
[12:00] <bloopletech> cyrylm, np
[12:00] <blitzo> abountu make darn sure it isn't mounted when you unplug it!
[12:01] <abountu> blitzo... too late, MaRk-I, dmesg shows this error  EXT3-fs warning: mounting fs with errors, running e2fsck is recommended
[12:01] <Jordan_U> cyrylm: You're welcome.
[12:01] <blitzo> abountu ok so run fsck on it
[12:02] <abountu>  blitzo, how do I do that, sorry I can't figure out which device it is
[12:02] <MaRk-I> abountu: dmesg tells you new usb device detected..blah sdc or sdb etc
[12:02] <blitzo> abountu does dmesg or syslog give a lue?  should be something in syslog
[12:03] <bloopletech> !cn | x_
[12:03] <eventyret> Is there a specific channel for ubuntu server help ? :)7
[12:04] <oCean_> eventyret: there is #ubuntu-server
[12:04] <mgolisch> eventyret: there is #ubuntu-server
[12:04] <Benkinooby> hi. as far as i understand the watchdog process is run for detectiong system hangs and fixing them with reboot. so is it necessary to run it on a personal computer/laptop wich is used by me the time it is powered on?
[12:04] <blitzo> abountu: try this: plug it and see if you can read it with dd.  if you have the device name wrong you'll get an error: dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/dev/null count=1
[12:05] <eventyret> ty
[12:05] <blitzo> abountu what disk devices does mount show now?
[12:05] <abountu> blitzo: jsut ran fschk waiting for it to finish now
[12:05] <AnxiousNut> blitzo, for future reference, yes xubuntu uses GDM just like ubuntu, found it on ubuntuforums, you might need it one day :)
[12:06] <abountu> hopefully no mess ups
[12:06] <blitzo> anxiousnut thx for the update!
[12:06] <glicksau> drupal is awesome!
[12:07] <blitzo> anybody answer a question about tyy devices?
[12:07] <JediMaster> hey guys, how do you make a usb device use a fixed device name? I've got a USB monitor (yeah it's freaky) and every few reboots it seems to increment the device number by 1, it was /dev/fb0 and it's just come up as fb2 now
[12:07] <amokpaule> Hello, as a matter of fact i have to reinstall my windows partition.  I want to be able to control how much bandwidth each computer is using, i.e. traffic shaping. Can someone please guide me on how to achieve it?
[12:16] <noob__> I was trying to install cup-pdf printer . I installed with sudo apt-get install cups-pdf ; sudo chmod +s /usr/lib/cups/backend/cups-pdf ; Now when trying to print a test page ,It is giving error There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-document-format-not-supported'
[12:17] <karthee> hi ..  i m  going to try with  xen hypervisor .. what i read was it enables multple guest OS'es .. I got doubt what ll happen to the existing OS  when/on which  I install Xen ?
[12:17] <om26er> AnxiousNut, gdm
[12:17] <iroquois> is there a way i can freeze the screen so i can read the text?
[12:18] <noob__> guys can someone help to install pdf printer !!!
[12:18] <rrrrr> interesting how little help one gets if the problem is .. not so general
[12:18] <mgolisch> karthee: basicaly it becomes a higher priviledged vm from which you can control the hypervisor
[12:18] <AnxiousNut> hey thanks om26er :) but got it already see you later over there ;)
[12:18] <blitzo> noob__ what is a pdf printer
[12:18] <om26er> AnxiousNut, ;)
[12:19] <mgolisch> but xen is a evil hack, id think about using something like xenserver if you realy want to use xen, they offer a free version too i think
[12:19] <noob__> a printer to print online document into pdf in ur system
[12:19] <noob__> Is there any hack to download files from SCRIBD
[12:19] <rrrrr> which processes on ubuntu do usually automated checking stuff on harddrives?
[12:19] <om26er> noob__, download the pdf and print?
[12:19] <blitzo> noob__ are you saying you want to convert something into a pdf file?
[12:20] <mgolisch> karthee: if you just want to run some vms on your desktop os id just use virtualbox or something
[12:20] <oCean_> rrrrr: don't forget it's all volunteers here. Actually I've been googling a bit, however results are related to bad behaviour of sata subsystem (driver level) You on the other hand have a hardware issue, so I guess all you want is to surpress the messages?
[12:20] <rrrrr> on devices.. not mounted
[12:20] <karthee> mgolisch: okay ..  so do u suggest xen or esxi hypervisor ? coz this s the first time i m trying out and i think the OS may screw up .. xen or vmware esxi .. which one is easy ?
[12:20] <noob__> om26er: blitzo : this is what I want to do !Is there any hack to download files from SCRIBD
[12:20] <blitzo> mgolisch what is virtualbox
[12:20] <rrrrr> oCean_: if its possible to suppress it?
[12:20] <blitzo> noob__ just download the file and save, i have downloaded dozens from them
[12:20] <mgolisch> blitzo: its a free virtualisation software from sun now oracle
[12:21] <karthee> mgolisch: easy to setup .. will worry about features later ..
[12:21] <Jordan_U> amokpaule: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[12:21] <oCean_> rrrrr: yes, I think so, you should be able to "filter",  but unable to remember how to.
[12:21] <abountu> blitzo, looks like the message in dmesg was related to another drive, so unplugging and  plugging the garmin didn't have any effect in the dmesg
[12:21] <iroquois> i'd like to be able to momentarily stop new posts on here so i can more easily read and digest what is being said.is there an easy way to do that?
[12:21] <mgolisch> karthee: you usualy wont have much fun if you want to use the pc for anything but virtualisation with xen, you cant do anything but that with it if you install esxi
[12:22] <abountu> blitzo, I'll restart the and check
[12:22] <blitzo> abountu you have problems that need looking after!
[12:22] <blitzo> abountu did you try mounting it as i suggested?
[12:22] <malvnb> anyone know of a bug for the 64 bit installer that fails to install the kernel?
[12:23] <noob__> blitzo: dude there is no option to download!! i have to register for it
[12:23] <blitzo> noob__ registration is free
[12:23] <karthee> mgolisch:  Sorry I didnt get you ..
[12:23] <karthee> mgolisch:  Sorry  not so good in english ..
[12:23] <mgolisch> karthee: like if you install esxi it will replace your os, you cant do anything but virtualisation with that computer then
[12:25] <karthee> mgolisch:   ' Replace your OS ' does it mean my current OS will be removed ?
[12:26] <mgolisch> karthee: yeah unless you install it on a seperate disk or so, but still while you run esxi you cant do anything with that computer but running vms on it
[12:26] <amokpaule> Jordan_U, ty
[12:26] <Quimby> Hey, I have a problem with my Ubuntu install. When I select it on GRUB (It's installed along side Win7, which I'm currently on), it gets to the login screen then freeze cycles and the startup jingle is played over and over. The weird part is, that I've actually been able to login once, where it just didn't do it, which makes me extremely confused. Anyone experience anything similar?
[12:27] <MegaHerz> hi all. How can I know current resolution?
[12:28] <mgolisch> karthee: if you just want to run some vms on your desktop os to test out stuff id recommend using virtualbox, its realy easy to setup and doesnt require you to use one computer dedicatedly for running virtualmachines
[12:28] <karthee> mgolisch:   okay got it ..  thanks sir   ..
[12:28] <leagris> Hello, need help with getting suspend properly working on a desktop with Ubuntu 10.04. Actually upon wakeup most processes are crashed and any action lead to a kernel panic and freeze with blinking keyboard leds.
[12:28] <karthee> mgolisch:   I ve used them .. but just wanted to give a try with hypervisor just for the sake of learning ..
[12:29] <rrrrr> oCean_: maybe you'll remember a little bit soon ;)
[12:30] <Guest88774> hi
[12:30] <Guest88774> !list
[12:30] <blitzo> leagris i can't get suspend to work either
[12:31] <airtonix> blitzo, did you check that your bios options for enable suspend are on ?
[12:32] <blitzo> airtonix didn't know there was such an option, will check
[12:32] <oCean_> rrrrr: what I did remember is that I could suppress the messages for an ethX device with loading the networkdriver with option debug=0, I'm afraid I don't know which driver is responsible for the messages you have
[12:32] <Quimby> Anyone know what my problem could be?
[12:32] <CGuest> I have a question about C: http://paste.ubuntu.com/464941/
[12:32] <blitzo> can anyone answer a question about console tty?
[12:33] <oCean_> blitzo: just aks the channel and find out
[12:33] <oCean_> *ask
[12:35] <ubuverify> how do i verify an ubuntustudio install?
[12:36] <Quimby> Should I perhaps come back at a later time?
[12:36] <oCean_> ubuverify: you mean the iso?
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> ubuverify:  you verify the md5 of the install media.. thats about all  you can do.
[12:36] <ubuverify> =/ i want to be sure it's installed properly
[12:36] <yan> 请问，知道怎么用grub4dos引导archlinux的安装cd么？
[12:36] <leagris> blitzo, I'd love suspend to work even on my desktop, no exotic hardware AFAIK. Suspend at night, get up and ready quickly on the morning with applications up and running.
[12:37] <oCean_> !cn | yan
[12:37] <abhijit> yan for archlinux join #archlinux
[12:37] <yan> sorry - -
[12:37] <bullgard_> https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Evolution > Show Anvanced Fields > Gal "Library for custom widgets (like e-table, e-canvas, e-text) used by Evolution". What does 'Gal' stand for? Is it an acronym?
[12:38] <ubuverify> i keep getting windows that black out, or actually stay locked out...i'm thinking something got messed up with the ubuntustudio install..i don't see a linux grub with an "rt"
[12:38] <leagris> Quimby, you may be able to fix the issue booting Ubuntu in safe mode, select that within the grub menu
[12:39] <Quimby> It does the same in Safe mode.
[12:39] <Skullsoldier> hey i need help i trying to make a dual boot of winXP and ubuntu 8.04 and i used this guide http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_windows_xp_and_linux_xp_installed_first.htm when i restarted my computer i dosen't load to any OEM i don't just find it. now i loaded my computer up white a liveCD and i don't know what to do :(
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> Skullsoldier:  you installed windows first? then linux?
[12:40] <Skullsoldier> yes
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> so You get teh grub menu?
[12:40] <Skullsoldier> no
[12:40] <Skullsoldier> i don't get any menu when i start my computer
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> so what does it do when you boot up? blinking cursor? errors?
[12:41] <erkan^> have evolution special program for gmail ?
[12:41] <Skullsoldier> blinking cursor
[12:41] <leagris> Quimby, look like it got corrupted (partition, upgraded kernel), If you can not get it up in single mode (add that option by editing the startup option in grub during menu), you may like to do an fsck on the partition using the Ubuntu live CD.
[12:41] <erkan^> I mean special plugin
[12:41] <karthee> Skullsoldier: did you use wubi.exe ?
[12:41] <Skullsoldier> no
[12:41] <Skullsoldier> i am trying to do white hand dual boot
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> Skullsoldier:  you installed windows first.. did that boot up to windows at all?
[12:42] <Quimby> Aight, will try that.
[12:42] <Skullsoldier> yes it did boot
[12:42] <leagris> Quimby, option si "signle"
[12:42] <Quimby> Thanks.
[12:42] <Skullsoldier> before i installed ubuntu
[12:42] <leagris> single
[12:42] <Quimby> Aight.
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> Skullsoldier:  ive not used 8.04 i ages.. Its using grub1. but you are not getting grube menu. So that would be the place to start.     Anyone know how to get isight working in ubuntu ????
[12:45] <Skullsoldier> and it's shows hd0,4 and hd1,1
[12:45] <MaRk-I> lana: go to #freenode channel they'll help you
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> lana:  /join #ThisIsMyOwnChannel
[12:45] <lana> aeon-ltd,  am need to be ops on ubuntu-id
[12:45] <xdpirate> Yo, can the ext2 casper-rw partition be any size when booting from usb? (I have a 40 GB 2.5" USB HDD I'd like to install a persistent live USB on)
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> lana:  time to read up on some IRC basics i think.
[12:46] <ubuverify> laa /join #unlisted un claimed channel name
[12:46] <aeon-ltd> lana: listen to Dr_Willis
[12:46] <Skullsoldier> trying to root hd1,0 and setup it to setup hd0 but it dosen't work
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> xdpirate:  yes. there are tools to resize them to very large sizes
[12:46] <lana> am have
[12:46] <ubuverify> then you can contact the host of freenode servers and register it perminantly
[12:46] <lana> oke
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> Skullsoldier:  you sure you dont mean  hd0,0 ? hd1, would be the 2nd hard dive
[12:46] <lana> oke aeon-ltd
[12:46] <xdpirate> Dr_Willis, thanks, I can just use fdisk or gparted to partition though
[12:47] <lana> Dr_Willis, am have join on chennel
[12:47] <xdpirate> Dr_Willis, I was just wondering because the pendrivelinux tool only listed 1gb, 2gb and 4gb partition
[12:47] <xdpirate> +s
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> xdpirate:  i saw a guide once.. you used dd and 'appended' empty space to the end of the save file. and then some how expanded the filesystem with some other command. it did not use fparted or fdisk.
[12:47] <gnomefreak> ubuverify: please keep this for Ubuntu support. if you or anyone else needs freenode support join #freenode
[12:47] <aeon-ltd> sam898889: use google, 100s of guides depending on the model of your mac
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> xdpirate:  check that site - they may have a guide on resizeing the save file.
[12:47] <ubuverify> freaky.. just trying to be helpful regardless..
[12:47] <sam898889> aeon-ltd  i am. but still cant get it to work.  just thinking maybe someone has an idea.  :(
[12:48] <xdpirate> Dr_Willis, thanks :)

[12:51] <kampa_11> can we listen radio from "Me TV" ?
[12:51] <metalgeek> Hi, Is there a piece of software for ubuntu that emulates my sms centre software on my 3 mobile internet dongle?
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> kampa_11:  depedns on how they are streaming the radio.
[12:51] <blitzo> anybody answer a question about console tty?
[12:51] <metalgeek> sorry wrong room
[12:52] <sam-c> guys or dolls here?
[12:52] <metalgeek> ahh, sorry. New to this... lol Hi, Is there a piece of software for ubuntu that emulates my sms centre software on my 3 mobile internet dongle?
[12:52] <sam898889> aeon-ltd  hey  thanks dude. i just found a great website in the ubuntu forums for macbooks.
[12:52] <kampa_11> Dr_Willis: my friends asking for it. but cant speak english. he is ubuntu like me. but he can not listen radio with metv.
[12:52] <oCean_> sam-c: this is #ubuntu support for technical issues, join #ubuntu-offtopic for social chat
[12:53] <oCean_> blitzo: as I told before: you should ask your real question in the channel and find out
[12:53] <sam-c> i want tech talk
[12:53] <blitzo> ocean_ did not see that, thx
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> kampa_11:  paste a url to the radio stream  and see if others in here can access it.
[12:53] <oCean_> sam-c: describe your issue detailed but in one single line
[12:53] <rileyp> well tomcat installs to usr/share/tomcat6 and all the dirs sre stuffed and nothing is as it should be java is differnet as well
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> kampa_11:  theres also that 'antenna' application (an adobe air app) that i use to listen to a lot of radio from around the world
[12:54] <sam-c> this is maverick and whats new?
[12:54] <blitzo> i cannot get a console tty - ctrl-alt-fkey does not work, chvt does not work, killing gdm does not work, all i get is a blank screen - any suggestions?
[12:54] <gnomefreak> sam-c: if you need help please ask your questions. if you are giving help to users that need it that good. all other topics you should join #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:54] <oCean_> sam-c: support for maverick is in #ubuntu+1, not here
[12:54] <asktoby> I have a 2nd hard disk with rarely used files on it. I have hdparm spinning it down when not in use. It keeps waking up, though. How can I find out which app is accessing it?
[12:54] <sam-c> ta
[12:55] <gnomefreak> oCean_: he is looking for random chat
[12:55] <kampa_11> Dr_Willis: no no  no. i know that. but he is using he 's own tv card. i dont know , i dont have. but he can listen with hes machine radio (real radio , not from internet )...
[12:55] <biopyte> i'm running grub on lucid. what package do i have to install if i want grub2 instead?
[12:55] <iceroot> asktoby: iotop and powertop
[12:55] <iceroot> !info grub2
[12:56] <oCean_> blitzo: does ps -ef |grep tty show any running processes for the tty's ?
[12:56] <biopyte> thanks
[12:57] <eventyret> is it hard to do vhosts and such ? :)
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> kampa_11:  theres radio 'tuner' applications to controll radio cards.. but ive not used one in years.
[12:57] <asktoby> iceroot: Thanks, will check out powertop
[12:57] <coachz>   can i use bzip2 to zip multiple files and dirs in one go ?    http://codepad.org/SVmIgHqe
[12:57] <karthee> coachz: no .. bzip2 does zip only files ..
[12:58] <kampa_11> Dr_Willis:  ok. tank you!
[12:58] <coachz> is this doc wrong?  http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/getting-started-guide/s1-managing-compressing-archiving.html
[12:58] <coachz> says:  You can use bzip2 to compress multiple files and directories at the same time by listing them with a space between each one:
[12:58] <sam-c> join #ubuntu+1
[12:58] <karthee> coachz:  if you are zipping a directory use the -j option .. which does use the bzip2 algorithm ..
[12:58] <coachz> i'm trying to zip 2 files and 2 dirs at once
[12:58] <mujianto> hai
[12:58] <NightKhaos> coachz: you can add them to a tar before hand, then bzip that..
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> One normally makes a 'tar.bzip' archive ..
[12:59] <slow-motion> hi
[12:59] <coachz> so that redhat doc is clearly wrong
[12:59] <coachz> what's the easiest way to do this please and get a lot of compression
[12:59] <oCean_> coachz: no need to complain about redhat doc in #ubuntu ...
[12:59] <mujianto> why if i shutdown is not automatic shutdown?
[13:00] <airtonix> mujianto, because it's manual ?
[13:00] <airtonix> just a thought
[13:00] <coachz> is there a better way other than tar then bzip2 ?
[13:01] <mujianto> no, i must press shutdown on hardware
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> coachz:  it depends on your needs. tar.bz2 works quite well for most needs
[13:01] <AcehDev> hai
[13:01] <AcehDev> :)
[13:01] <AcehDev> love
[13:01] <DiRaOL> Hey everyone, i'm back.
[13:01] <oCean_> coachz: we would need details on what you are trying to do
[13:01] <coachz> ok, can i do it in one line ?   so i can tar two files and two dirs and then bzip2 them
[13:02] <karthee> coachz: lzma is better than bzip2
[13:02] <coachz> oCean_,  sorry, i have 2 files and 2 dirs i'm trying to zip up tiny and move
[13:02] <coachz> lzma .....more compression ?
[13:02] <karthee> coachz: yes ..
[13:02] <coachz> my hosted server doesn't appear to have lzma
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> It will also depend on the type of file coachz  you can only compress things so much
[13:02] <coachz> you run lzma rught ?
[13:03] <karthee> coachz:  http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/06/lzma-better-compression-than-bzip2-on-unix-linux/
[13:03] <coachz> tar bzip should be fine, i just don't know how to do it on one line
[13:03] <oCean_> coachz: tar archive.tar file1 file2 directory1/* directory2/* would make archive.tar of those files/directories specified. Use bzip2 archive.tar to compress the .tar to .tar.bz2
[13:04] <Skullsoldier> Dr_willis i trying to get setup hd0 but error text is Error 11: Unrecognized device string
[13:04] <gnomefreak> coachz: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression for more help on other formats
[13:04] <coachz> oCean_ how would i do it all on one line ?
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> Skullsoldier:  its possible your cdrom is hd0,
[13:04] <gnomefreak> coachz: he just showed you
[13:04] <Skullsoldier> hmm how do i check it?
[13:04] <DiRaOL> i was following the "fakeRaid" tuto from ubuntu site, but i got an error that there isn't anything like this on the site. There it tolds me to choose the "/dev/mapper/pdc_uhwefu" as the place that i should choose to install the GRUB. I've made it, but on 93% of the instalation i recived this message: "The execution of "grub-install /dev/sda" has failed  Any idea?!
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> Skullsoldier:  Not sure  in 8.04 -  ive not used it in 2 years..
[13:04] <Skullsoldier> okey
[13:04] <ManDay> Is there a generic driver for 3d mice in ubuntu. Situation: A 3dmouse provides RAW data from USB with udev. GIMP can hook with that and enables it as a "Linux Input"-Device in its settings where everything can be well configured.     Apparently, GIMP is capable of reading that device (which is a HID compliant device) troubleless - CAN THIS BE DONE FOR X?
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> Skullsoldier:  see what ls -l /dev/cdrom   says
[13:05] <oCean_> coachz: add "j" to the tar options
[13:06] <karthee> coachz:  ll this make you happy .. find /path/to/the/folder/  -name \*  -type f | xargs bzip2
[13:06] <coachz> if i'm doing it on one line don't i have to pipe the tar output into bunzip2 ?
[13:06] <coachz> karthee,  i don't need find
[13:06] <oCean_> coachz: no the "j" option does that for you, see "man tar"
[13:06] <coachz> i know the names of the two files and two folders
[13:07] <karthee> coachz:  find /path/to/the/folder/  -name \*  -type f | xargs bzip2  .. this would do it in a single line as you wanted .. But as oCean_ and I mentioned  -j option will  use bzip algorithm to compress ..
[13:07] <imaginativeone> when I try to access my Downloads folder, the File Windows just shuts down.  How do I fix that?
[13:07] <Skullsoldier> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-07-17 19:28 /dev/cdrom -> scd0
[13:08] <coachz> karthee,  that's a nutty way to do it
[13:08] <oCean_> karthee: there is no need for him to use find, since he knows what to archive
[13:08] <karthee> coachz:  ok .. sorry ..
[13:08] <coachz> exactly
[13:08] <coachz> hehe
[13:08] <coachz> i just have to read tar crap for 20 mins to figure out the stupid options
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> coachz:  the 'j' option to 'tar' is what you nead.
[13:09] <imaginativeone> when I try to access my Downloads folder, the File Windows just shuts down.  How do I fix that?
[13:09] <oCean_> coachz: but now I told you howto, right?
[13:09] <blitzo> ocean_ i have a getty running on all of them
[13:09] <coachz> well almost
[13:09] <Skullsoldier> Dr_willis      lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2010-07-17 19:28 /dev/cdrom -> scd0
[13:09] <Dr_Willis> imaginativeone:  can you access it from a terminal?
[13:09] <imaginativeone> yes
[13:09] <Skullsoldier> that it what it says
[13:10] <imaginativeone> Dr_Willis: yes
[13:10] <ubuverify> i'm having connection issues...
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> Skullsoldier:  you could check 'sudo fdisk -l' output also.. It would be weird that the cd is the first drive on a system.. buit ive seen it done befor.
[13:10] <coachz> if you really want to tell me,  tell me exactly what to type to bzip2 two files and two dirs on one line :-)
[13:10] <froes> hi you all. i have just installed grub2, havent put quiet or splash on the /etc/default/grub  and still does not show me the kernel messages. is there a way of making it show the messages ???
[13:10] <oCean_> blitzo: in that case, I have no idea why you cannot access them.
[13:10] <oCean_> coachz: okay once more, hold on
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> imaginativeone:  cd to 'Downloads' and try 'nautilus .'
[13:10] <imaginativeone> thanks!
[13:10] <abhijit>  froes press shift
[13:10] <coachz> so far i have:   tar archive.tar file1 file2 directory1/* directory2/*
[13:10] <coachz> just add -j ?
[13:11] <imaginativeone> no luck
[13:11] <coachz> like this?   tar -j archive.tar file1 file2 directory1/* directory2/*
[13:11] <oCean_> coachz: tar cvfj myarchive.tar.bz2 file1 file2 directory1/* directory2/*
[13:11] <imaginativeone> a Window popped up, showing files
[13:11] <coachz> perfect, thanks oCean_
[13:11] <froes> anhijit, is there a way of making it show the messages by default? without having to push shift  ????
[13:11] <oCean_> coachz: you're most welcoem
[13:11] <imaginativeone> but when I tried to access Downloads, the window closed
[13:11] <coachz> extra karma for everyone !
[13:11] <abhijit> !grub2 | froes yes you can edit grub here
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> froes:  theres the 'text' option. :) but thzat will disable GDM from starting up.  Personally.. i just remove plymounth. :) (but im hard-core)
[13:12]  * AcehDev hallo
[13:12] <imaginativeone> looking at Properties, the volume is "Unknown"
[13:12] <imaginativeone> is that significant?
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> froes:  if you want grub to always shiow its MENU thats an option in /etc/default/grub
[13:12] <AcehDev> clear
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> imaginativeone:  that should of opened nautilus in the downloads dir..  try 'nautilus /home/USERNAME/Downloads'
[13:13] <imaginativeone> I think I figured out the problem
[13:13] <froes> cheers everyone ... i`ll test it
[13:13] <rrrrr> oCean_: i started shutdown 30 minutes ago. it still is doing so.. incredibly slow
[13:13] <AcehDev> ping google.com
[13:13] <imaginativeone> I need to change the owner from root to myself
[13:13] <imaginativeone> I've always had a little trouble with the chown command
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> imaginativeone:  so you were  somehow running nautiuls as root in the past?
[13:14] <imaginativeone> yes
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> sudo chown username  directoryname
[13:14] <AcehDev> sudo nautilus
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> imaginativeone:  you may want to get out of that habbit.. it can cause all sosrts of issues
[13:14] <madurax86>  does anyone know where i can get deb packages for compiz 0.9 ?
[13:14] <imaginativeone> tis true
[13:14] <karthee> rrrr: change the  cell  inside your cpu ..
[13:14] <Dr_Willis> madurax86:  i think ive seen PPA repos for that.
[13:14] <Skullsoldier> Dr_Willis: i posted what the terminal sayd in a personal note
[13:15] <Dr_Willis> !pastebin | Skullsoldier
[13:15] <madurax86> Dr_Willis: can u tell me the ppa for that? i didnt find any working ppa
[13:15] <ManDay> How do I make X recognize a 6 DOF InputDevice?
[13:15] <bourke> hi, can anyone tell me how to enable the system beep in ubuntu?
[13:15] <abhijit> madurax86, http://www.compiz.org/
[13:16] <karthee> ManDay: what is 6 DOF InputDevice ?
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> madurax86:  no idea. I saw it mentioned on  some linux news sites,
[13:16] <madurax86> abhijit: i want 0.9, its not gone stable yet
[13:16] <ManDay> karthee, a six degrees of freedom input device - aka 3d mouse
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> Skullsoldier:  so you have 2 hard drives.. its possible you got grub missconfigured. You have some linux parittion on both hard drives.
[13:16] <imaginativeone> it is also possible that DropBox did something weird to it
[13:16] <ackbahr> Hi!  I created /home/public and chmoded it to 777, so far so good, but then the files I drag'n'drop there are still owned by the creator of the file! Is there a way to chmod any fils dropped there, too? Thanks!
[13:16] <ManDay> karthee, I tried an InputDevice section in xorg.conf but its ignored
[13:16] <abhijit> madurax86, dunno then check google for launchapd compiz
[13:16] <Skullsoldier> Dr_Willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/464955/
[13:16] <imaginativeone> I can't believe that I can't figure out how to use DropBox at all
[13:17] <ManDay> I got its HID compliant data interface at /dev/input
[13:17] <abhijit> launchpad*
[13:17] <imaginativeone> even though I'm paying $10 per month
[13:17] <Niglop> how do i burn dvd files to disc on ubuntu
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> Skullsoldier:  so its possible grub instaslled to the other hard drive ifyoua re not getting a menu at all. You could set the bios to boot the other hard drive. and see if that works.
[13:17] <abhijit> Niglop, brasero
[13:17] <ManDay> How do I make X recognize a 6 DOF HID compliant InputDevice at /dev/input/dof6 ?
[13:17] <Niglop> it burns iso's not video ts abhijit
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> Niglop:  clarify what you mean.. You mean make a DATA dvd with various files? or make a DVD Video disk from video files?
[13:18] <madurax86> Dr_Willis: ah i tried the same PPAs from those sites those were only for testing purposes they have brought down the packages after, thanks for ur time
[13:18] <Skullsoldier> hmm thank you dr_willis i will try that
[13:18] <Niglop> 2nd one Dr_Willis
[13:18] <abhijit> Niglop, it does
[13:18] <Skullsoldier> Dr_Willis thank you i try that
[13:18] <Niglop> abhijit:  im looking at it right now..
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> Niglop:  you convert the video to the proper dvd 'video format' then burn the video data files to the disk
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> !Info devede | Niglop
[13:18] <abhijit> Niglop, in Application=>Sound and video=>Brasero disk burner
[13:18] <Niglop> lmao..
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> Niglop:  i use devede to turn my Video files to 'dvd videos' i can play on dvd players
[13:19] <coachz> oCean_  that screwed me up
[13:19] <coachz> it replaced my files with bz2 versions
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> video file --> devede --> makes a dvd.iso i test in vlc, then i burn it as needed
[13:19] <Niglop> who said anything about me having a video to convert to dvd? im asking how to burn video files.. (audio and video ts)
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> Niglop:  those are just dataz files then.. burn them as you woukld any other data files.
[13:19] <ikonia> ngthat is a dvd format
[13:19] <ikonia> oops
[13:19] <ikonia> Niglop: audio and video_ts is a dvd format
[13:20] <Niglop> NO FUCKING SHIT
[13:20] <Niglop> how do i burn them .. wow
[13:20] <ikonia> ab Niglop
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> any of the disk burning tools should work.. good luck.
[13:22] <coachz> why did it replace my files with bzip2 files it was just supposed to compress them to an archive    tar cvfj myarchive.tar.bz2 file1 file2 directory1/* directory2/*

[13:24] <ahren> it is different in 10.04 than in previous versions
[13:24] <coachz> oCean_ ?

[13:24] <ahren> Dr_Willis,  i just want the install iso to be able to boot on a usb
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> ahren:  that may take some work with XP.
[13:25] <ahren> oh ok so i have to uninstall the vbox from the repos first?
[13:25] <karthee> ahren: use unetbootin
[13:25] <ahren> ok i will say again i have tried unetbootin 5 times and it does not work
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> karthee:  unetbootin does NOT work with an windowsxp.iso

[13:32] <ubuverify> i noticed several remote logins in the router logs, so i reset the conection, but the problems persist
[13:33] <yessir_turan> Hi.. I'm on nfs.., using ubuntu.. The locate indexing process cannot look into my directory beause I don't permit it to, even root cannot, unless he su's into me. Now my question is.. is there a way I can create a local locate database that will index my files and will let me search them...
[13:33] <yessir_turan> locate beacuse I'm command line guy..
[13:33] <ubuverify> o.0?
[13:34] <yessir_turan> But other suggestions would be good too..
[13:34] <ubuverify> i'm having trouble understanding your question?
[13:35] <ubuverify> how do i increase transmit power for my linksys wusb54g
[13:35] <ubuverify> ??
[13:35] <imaginativeone> what does it mean when my folder is outlined in green?
[13:36] <Alan502> ubuverify, i think that is not related to ubuntu, normally you would change those form the router's administration tool
[13:36] <yessir_turan> Other details: I'm on Ubuntu 10.04..
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> yessir_turan:  locate has a feature for 'user' created database/searches I think. check its docs
[13:39] <hocine21> Hello
[13:40] <ubuverify> the router and the AP are two diffrent setups...the AP (wusb54g) is os controlled via drivers...rt2500usb, currently transmitting at 1Mb/s it can go as high as 54Mb/s but is not consistent
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> yessir_turan:  use updatedb to make a personal database.. (see its man pages, for an exzmple)
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> yessir_turan:  then tell locate to use that database
[13:40] <MegaHerz> Hi all. I'm confused with kernel names. What kernel should I use for my Intel Core Duo CPU? -generic? -386?
[13:41] <mgolisch> MegaHerz: yeah the generic is the std desktop kernel
[13:41] <ubuverify> So i'm wondering how i can tell ubuntu to increase the transmit power of my wifi AP?
[13:41] <mgolisch> MegaHerz: it should have been installed by default
[13:42] <MegaHerz> mgolisch: yeah, it was installed, but then, judging from name of course, I thought 386 is more specific and installed it :)
[13:44] <ubuverify> =c google failed

[13:52] <airtonix> i really like the interface monodevelop provides, but i would like for it to support python. is this possible on karmic ?
[13:53] <mgolisch> airtonix: monodevelop supports python
[13:54] <mgolisch> airtonix: version 2.2 ships with a python binding addon
[13:55] <stanley_robertso> hi abhijit
[13:55] <abhijit> :)
[13:56] <stanley_robertso>  wassup ?
[13:56] <erUSUL> abountu: i only see two mouses there ...
[13:57] <stanley_robertso> abhijit, you are in both ubuntu and ubuntu-bugs group ?
[13:57] <bourke> would someone mind mentioning my nick in a sentence so I can test out my irssi settings? :P
[13:57] <abhijit> stanley_robertso, yes
[13:57] <soadkombucha> bourke:
[13:58] <stanley_robertso> abhijit, cool
[13:58] <stanley_robertso> how long you are contributing ?
[13:58] <airtonix> arghh this is no good i removed gnome-globalmenu but nautilus still refuses to show a menu bar in its application window.
[13:58] <amanthakur> MegaHerz, I have installed a new version of kernel-<IP_ADDRESS> using the three commands 1. make 2. make modules 3. make modules_install install. Is is enough to do so? or i need something more?

[13:58] <abhijit> come*
[13:59] <mgolisch> amanthakur: kernels installed that way wont generate grub boot entries, youll have to do that yourself
[13:59] <arpad2> hello
[14:00] <coachz> how come tar can't find my hidden dir ?  http://codepad.org/yiR4ymUs
[14:00] <soadkombucha> mgolisch: update-grub
[14:01] <amanthakur> mgolisch, i am stuck over here only. I don't know how to make initrd image, can you help me with this?
[14:01] <soadkombucha> mgolisch: Then it SHOULD find the kernel
[14:01] <arpad2> i tried to reinstall grub2, and on the start now i have only grub and cursor
[14:01] <arpad2> can smb help me with this
[14:01] <mgolisch> soadkombucha: realy? i thought that only works for kernel packages
[14:01] <soadkombucha> mgolisch: You could try it
[14:02] <soadkombucha> mgolisch: Or you could do it the legacy unreccomended way and add the file manually using the file that says do not modify
[14:02] <coachz> isn't tar supposed to work with hidden dirs ?
[14:02] <airtonix> mgolisch, ah ok, i see my karmic box only has monodevelop v2.0
[14:03] <abountu> mgolisch, yes I have two mice
[14:03] <mgolisch> airtonix: think there was a experinmental python bindings addon in earlier versions, but for a working thing id go with 2.2
[14:04] <mgolisch> abountu: so this means it doenst detect your garmin, make sure you use a usb port thats actualy connected, some big towers have more usb ports than moszt motherboards have
[14:04] <airtonix> mgolisch, i assume you are using lucid and not karmic then ?
[14:05] <mgolisch> airtonix: yeah it has 2.2
[14:05] <coachz> only 1 hour trying to zip a couple files and a two dirs,  ain't linux awesome.....fawk this
[14:05] <MaRk-I> abountu: better if you pastebin the last 30 lines from dmesg
[14:05] <ubuverify> anyone here familiar with network troubleshooting ubuntu 10.4-rt
[14:05] <imaginativeone> what does it mean when my folder is outlined in green?
[14:05] <mgolisch> abountu: like do other usb devices work in that port?
[14:05] <imaginativeone> in terminal, of course
[14:05] <abountu> mgolisch, other things are working on that port
[14:05] <ubuverify> ?
[14:05] <coachz> wtf ?  http://codepad.org/yiR4ymUs
[14:06] <mgolisch> abountu: maybe your device is broken?
[14:06] <mgolisch> abountu: is it powered on?
[14:06] <coachz> is tar reTARded ?
[14:06] <abountu> mgolisch: yes it's powered automatically once I plugit
[14:06] <erUSUL> coachz: is the dir empty ?
[14:06] <abountu> mgolisch: which means the port is connected
[14:07] <coachz> erUSUL no
[14:07] <imaginativeone> coachz: one thing is for sure, you won't be able to understand TAR if you are retarded
[14:07] <coachz> luckily i'm not :-)
[14:07] <coachz> just have a football shaped head
[14:07] <coachz> it has one hidden file in it
[14:07] <abountu> MaRk-I,  repasted: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/3k43L2mv
[14:08] <erUSUL> coachz: wrong order in the options... f has to be last and before archive name
[14:08] <erUSUL> coachz: tar cfj backup20070717 .bashrc php.ini .htpasswds/* public_html/*
[14:08] <erUSUL> coachz: tar cjf backup20070717 .bashrc php.ini .htpasswds/* public_html/*
[14:08] <coachz> ahhh
[14:08] <soadkombucha> xjvf and xzvf are the two I always use
[14:08] <coachz> erUSUL same error
[14:09] <coachz> so i need .htpasswds/.*
[14:09] <ubuverify> Is there a better driver for my linksys wusb54g..currently using rt2500?obsolete?
[14:09] <ivo_> hi
[14:09] <Nok> Hi,Guys
[14:09] <Guest76924> hi
[14:09] <coachz> to get hidden files too ?
[14:09] <ivo_> why I can not use my soft RAID5 array when only 1 drive is failed
[14:10] <mgolisch> ivo_: you should be able to
[14:10] <soadkombucha> coachz: The * tells it to extract all files in the directory that it follow
[14:10] <ivo_> and most importantly why is the array degraded when all drives are ok, I am rebuilding it right now with the same drive
[14:10] <soadkombucha> so you're not extracting each file separately
[14:10] <mgolisch> ivo_: no idea maybe some drive is not ok?
[14:10] <ivo_> the array is encrypted
[14:10] <erUSUL> coachz: works here; are you sure that dir is in the currnt dir ?
[14:10] <coachz> will this get all files including hiddens ?  tar cjf backup20070717 .bashrc php.ini .htpasswds/ public_html/
[14:11] <Ganymede> should i be worried if my drive reports<PHONE_NUMBER>000 reallocated sectors in smartctl? that's about 4000 terrabytes of reallocated sectors...
[14:11] <ivo_> mgolish the drives were running fine for some time now with opensolaris
[14:11] <coachz> without the * appears to work
[14:11] <ivo_> the drives are fine
[14:11] <ivo_> SMART status is ok
[14:11] <rileyp> hi Im installing mythpodcaster on ubuntu and.. Im having trouble I have it all installed and the apge wont load I can pastebin some logs if someone with java skill could help me
[14:12] <ivo_> diskutility shows status degraded
[14:12] <ubuverify> can i setup two partitions on one drive, for use in raid?
[14:13] <ivo_> and there is no mount button
[14:13] <rileyp> http://code.google.com/p/mythpodcaster/wiki/Installation#Binary_Installation_Steps Ive followed this guide however all the dirs are different in ubuntu
[14:13] <ivo_> and I am too new in linux to do this manually now
[14:13] <ivo_> because the array is encrypted
[14:13] <erUSUL> ubuverify: sure but what would be the point ?
[14:13] <erUSUL> ivo_: maybe more help with mdadm etc in #ubuntu-server
[14:13] <ubuverify> it should be faster then one partition?
[14:13] <bojpurya> can any one tell me how to register nick?
[14:13] <erUSUL> ubuverify: no
[14:14] <MaRk-I> abountu: nothing there shows about detecting a usb device, except the last line indicating 1 was disconnected
[14:14] <erUSUL> !register | bojpurya
[14:14] <ubuverify> plus redundancy? if one fails it recovers?
[14:14] <rileyp> the webpage appears to load  but nothing appears on the screen
[14:14] <erUSUL> ubuverify: if a drive fails all the partitions within fail
[14:15] <abountu> MaRk-I: yeah.. that's what I was saying... what could cause this?
[14:15] <abountu> MaRk-I: could it be the filesystem of the device is corrupt?
[14:15] <ubuverify> true, if it physically is damaged...and since both partitions mirrior each other, if a file becomes currupted, both partitons are then curruopted??
[14:15] <MaRk-I> abountu: is the device working?
[14:16] <sonu> hi,i  just finished installing ubuntu lts using alternative cd and when i start it, my monitor turned off, my cpu fan turned off ,but light still blinks. Why my computer goes in suspended every time i tried to run ubuntu? my computer configuration: 500gb hdd,1gb nvidia 9400 card,1.5 gb ram,P4,3.0ghz and 945chipset..
[14:16] <abountu> MaRk-I: yes, I locks gps and shows map
[14:16] <DiRaOL> Hey everyone, good news. I've installed the fakeraid dualboot.
[14:16] <DiRaOL> I don't know exactly what happend, but i think that there are two thinks.
[14:16] <DiRaOL> The first one is about this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/parted/+bug/568050
[14:16] <DiRaOL> So, my suggestion is to open the LiveCD session, aptitude update && aptitude safe-upgrade and then, after that, try to use the "Gparted" to format and create the partitions.
[14:16] <DiRaOL> If this doesn't work, use this also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[14:16] <FloodBot2> DiRaOL: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:16] <abountu> MaRk-I: it also reads the previously saved maps
[14:17] <abountu> MaRk-I: nothing seems wrong from inside the device.... I'm confused now
[14:17] <G__81> in the older releases of ubuntu, there used to be a directory called /etc/event.d now in 10.04 i dont find it where can i find the tty devices ?
[14:18] <MaRk-I> abountu: out of ideas here, if the filesystem was corrupted it'd detected it and then tell you it cant read it
[14:18] <G__81> can some one let me know ?
[14:18] <bihari> am back
[14:18] <abountu> MaRk-I: ok.. googling
[14:18] <abountu> MaRk-I: thx
[14:18] <bihari> whats goin on hi mark
[14:18] <MaRk-I> sonu: what's your video card?
[14:18] <erUSUL> G__81: is /etc/init/ now
[14:18] <MaRk-I> hi bihari, not much here
[14:19] <sonu> MaRk-I:  it's nvidia geforce 9400
[14:19] <MaRk-I> sonu edit grub and add "nomodeset"
[14:19] <G__81> erUSUL,i ve created a file system for UML and i need to delete the tty devices coz otherwise it opens 6 terminals
[14:20] <sonu> MaRk-I:  how? i can't even run ubuntu in recovery mode? how can i open grub and edit it?
[14:20] <bihari> oki mark you know what mark today when i said that in my ppt (power point presentation) i said a ubuntu is so easy to use that a even a truck driver uses it for there funn << people wher got shocked =)) and get there attention
[14:20] <G__81> erUSUL, i used to delete it in the older versions in /etc/event.d so now i have to do the same in /etc/init
[14:20] <erUSUL> G__81: the tty files are there for you to remove/move them
[14:20] <erUSUL> G__81: correct
[14:21] <MaRk-I> bihari: lol
[14:21] <metalgeek> Hi, could anyone tell me where the equivelent of pytonw.exe for windows is in ubuntu?

[14:22] <bihari> of the world
[14:22] <ubuverify> please recommend a wifi utility that works in ubuntu 10.4... the ones listed in the repo's don't work for me?
[14:22] <bazhang> bihari, this is NOT the chat channel

[14:22] <bihari> huh>?
[14:22] <G__81> ok thanks erUSUL
[14:22] <erUSUL> G__81: no problem
[14:22] <AnxiousNut> metalgeek, what does it do?
[14:22] <bihari> oki sorry
[14:22] <bazhang> bihari, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic not here
[14:23] <mernilio> hi all!
[14:23] <erUSUL> metalgeek: i think that plain python ( /usr/bin/python ) can do windowing by default in ubuntu
[14:23] <MaRk-I> sonu: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/
[14:24] <io> Why does installing apache2 (2.2.14-5ubuntu8) come with an empty httpd.conf on Ubuntu?
[14:24] <mernilio> I dont have a question or so .. but i was thinking of shaving .. someone ought to invent some kind of liquid hair removal stuff.
[14:24] <io> The actual 2.2.14 source has a full httpd.conf.
[14:25] <bazhang> mernilio, chat in #ubuntu-offtopic not here
[14:25] <mernilio> bazhang: oki
[14:25] <bazhang> thanks
[14:25] <mernilio> bazhang: im banned from that hell hole
[14:25] <ubuverify> mern it's called anir??
[14:26] <ubuverify> lol nair
[14:26] <mernilio> anir :-O
[14:26] <metalgeek> K think i get it now
[14:26] <bazhang> mernilio, that has nothing to do with this channel. this is still ubuntu support only
[14:26] <mernilio> oki, ill shut up for now then
[14:27] <mernilio> maybe i can give some generic advice to some newbie
[14:27] <Ganymede> is there a way for to tell when my laptop hard drive is being spun-down for inactvitiy? my laptop hard-drive area gets really hot for most of the day so i suspect it's not spinning down. i have spin down checked in system -> preferences -> power management
[14:28] <soadkombucha> Ganymede: Do you have ACPI enabled or disabled? Because I know from experience most power management settings don't work as well with ACPI off
[14:28] <silv3r_m00n> hi there
[14:28] <lcuk> Ganymede, old fashioned way - using a stethoscope http://www.doctors.ly/forums/signaturepics/sigpic23822_1.gif
[14:28] <maltini> Hello! Whether somebody is saying here in Polish? :>
[14:28] <mernilio> Ganymede: good thinking. Maybe gkrellm has a plugin for checking it.. i dont know
[14:29] <oCean_> lcuk: please stop
[14:29] <shauno> !pl | maltini
[14:29] <silv3r_m00n> on this LAN there are 5 computers and all in dhcp mode , isn't is possible to give each computer a name , so that when accessing each other from browser , it can be like http://somename/ rather than http://<IP_ADDRESS>/   ?
[14:30] <oCean_> silv3r_m00n: have your computers register (dynamically) in dns
[14:30] <maltini> ubottu: Ok dzieki za informacje :)  "Ok, thanks for the information" :)
[14:30] <ivo_> I just noticed liks dose not accept my password
[14:30] <ivo_> any Ideas why??
[14:30] <maltini> !pl
[14:30] <ivo_> do I really have to wait until the array is rebuild to access my data?
[14:30] <silv3r_m00n> oCean_: means ?
[14:31] <oCean_> silv3r_m00n: computer names are registered in a dns.
[14:31] <Ganymede> soadkombucha: i do appear to kacpid and acpid running, if that's what you're asking
[14:31] <silv3r_m00n> oCean_: I mean how to do it ?
[14:31] <oCean_> !dns | silv3r_m00n
[14:31] <lvh_> hey
[14:31] <silv3r_m00n> the router is allocating each computer its ip , so the dns service has to run on the router I guess ?
[14:31] <lvh_> how can i convince network manager (the networking applet) to do trunking
[14:31] <FrankLv> How can I change to run level 3 at boot time, add 3 to kernel= line seem not work
[14:31] <oCean_> silv3r_m00n: it might be a bit overkill for only 5 machines
[14:31] <lvh_> my desktop has two ethernet cards, my switch understands trunks
[14:31] <oCean_> silv3r_m00n: if the machines were to use static ip'
[14:32] <soadkombucha> I thought Ubuntu 10 didn't use runlevels?
[14:32] <oCean_> silv3r_m00n: then you could use /etc/hosts file
[14:32] <comag> hi. i'm unable to kill a process with "kill -9 <pid>". is there any other way to kill a process?
[14:32] <metalgeek> cool, got it, Cheers
[14:32] <Ganymede> silv3r_m00n: if they're all ubuntu or osx machines, you can access them with <computername>.local thanks to zeroconf/bonjour/avahi, on windows machines, it may or may not work depending on version and installed software
[14:33] <silv3r_m00n> Ganymede: 3 are ubuntu 5 are windows
[14:33] <Ganymede> silv3r_m00n: try ping computername.local and see if it resolves the IP properly, replacing "computername" with the actual host name
[14:33] <FrankLv> Also I can find /etc/inittab, I should boot into single mode and "telinit 3"?
[14:33] <silv3r_m00n> and all in dhcp mode
[14:33] <Ganymede> silv3r_m00n: zeroconf should work regardless of if the machine gets its IP via DHCP or not
[14:34] <FrankLv> Let me try it out.
[14:34] <oCean_> !runlevel | FrankLv
[14:34] <silv3r_m00n> Ganymede: hmmm , zeroconf , so what's its equivalent for windows ?
[14:34] <ubuverify> how do i browse a windows network from ubuntu?
[14:35] <silv3r_m00n> by the way how do I configure zeroconf ?
[14:35] <blitzo> ocean_ earlier i posted that i can't get a tty and you asked if anything is running on those ttys.  the answer is yes, they all have a getty.
[14:36] <lcuk> oCean_, why stop
[14:36] <lcuk> if you want to KNOW something is happening - sometimes old fashioned ways work best
[14:36] <lcuk> ie, use the ears you were born with and know for sure
[14:36] <oCean_> blitzo: yes, and I answered <blitzo>: in that case, I have no idea why you cannot access them.
[14:36] <Ganymede> silv3r_m00n: in windows xp, it was provided by apple's bonjour software, i don't know about windows vista and 7, it might have it built in. on linux, the software is called avahi-daemon and on osx, it's called bonjour
[14:37] <silv3r_m00n> ok , I installed avahi-daemon
[14:37] <ubuverify> how do i determine which is the connection primarily used by ubuntu 10.4?
[14:38] <blitzo> ocean_ i have posted about it on ubuntuforum.org and gotten little response - do you have any suggestions where to get help?  do i need to join a developer list?
[14:38] <karthee> hi .. sed -n '3,/regex/p'  .. does print from 3rd line till the regex match .. How do i print 5 linex after regex match ?? either in sed / awk ??
[14:40] <oCean_> blitzo: I guess this is the right place. Just re-post your issue (cannot access ttys, even getty processes are running for all ttys) every now and then. There are people joining/parting all the time. Maybe repeat after 30 minutes or so.
[14:40] <Ganymede> silv3r_m00n: for ubuntu desktop, it should work out of the box for recent versions, and for windows, i could never figure out how to get it to work...i just install adobe creative suite and that installs bonjour automatically i think
[14:40] <silv3r_m00n> is there are good vnc client I can install from synaptic ?
[14:40] <FrankLv> ubottu: Thanks
[14:40] <blitzo> ocean_ i even made a script to write on the ttys and nothing appeared
[14:40] <ulfbr> with the new version of ubuntu I have problems with kaffeine it does not display tv.
[14:41] <silv3r_m00n> amazing , it was already working
[14:41] <Ganymede> silv3r_m00n: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToZeroconf
[14:41] <Ganymede> silv3r_m00n: vinagre is the vnc client that is usually installed by default in ubuntu desktop
[14:41] <silv3r_m00n> how do I change my computer name ?
[14:41] <red2kic> !hostname | silv3r_m00n
[14:41] <Ganymede> silv3r_m00n: i usually edit the file /etc/hostname and reboot, but there are probably better ways
[14:42] <ubuverify> !wifi
[14:42] <silv3r_m00n> ah cool , so simple
[14:42] <Ganymede> silv3r_m00n: yeah, as ubottu said, edit /etc/hosts also to reflect the change
[14:43] <Ganymede> silv3r_m00n: you can probably get away with not rebooting if you restart avahi-daemon and syslog and a few other daemons that remember your hostname
[14:44] <silv3r_m00n> ok avahi is ok on ubuntu , now for the windows machine
[14:45] <silv3r_m00n> where can I download bonjour
[14:45] <red2kic> silv3r_m00n: See ##windows for support with Windows. ;o)
[14:45] <silv3r_m00n> oh ok
[14:48] <skumara> my nvidia driver not loading on startup. i'm using low graphic mode. how to restore my xconfig files? i tried uninstall nvidia drivers and reinstall them but not working.
[14:48] <coz_> skumara,   try running   nvidia-xconfig  from the terminal
[14:48] <coz_> skumara,  then reboot or restart x  to see if it takes effect
[14:49] <yunintegral_> how can i change panel button's color? please see this screenshot of my desktop http://5angh0.shworks.com/images/desktop/%EC%8A%A4%ED%81%AC%EB%A6%B0%EC%83%B7.png
[14:49] <skumara> i run nvidia -xconfig it say no command found
[14:50] <skumara> restart x did not do anything.
[14:50] <karthee> skumara: what exactly you want to do ?
[14:51] <skumara> karthee i was using compiz and everything was fine untill yesterday, my graphic driver not loading. so i cant use compiz features anymore.
[14:53] <stanley_robertso> hi skumara
[14:53] <skumara> hi stanley_roberso
[14:53] <skumara> any idea how to run nvidia-xconfig as root?
[14:54] <karthee> Administration->HardwareDrives... it ll automatically search for drives and install it ..  YOu just ll have to activate it ..
[14:54] <karthee> skumara: Why do you want it to run as root ?
[14:54] <skumara> karthee i did that already. i choose the latest nvidia driver (recommended). it still did not work.
[14:55] <skumara> the error message i got ask me to run it as root.
[14:55] <trojan_spike> use an earlier driver?
[14:55] <karthee> skumara: how do you start compositing ?
[14:55] <erUSUL> skumara: how did you installed the nvidia driver ?
[14:56] <yunintegral_> how can i set pixmap_path?
[14:56] <skumara> nvidia driver were installed by going to system>administration>hardware drivers and choose the driver to activate
[14:57] <skumara> karthee u mean how i set up compiz, i use the application>ubunthu software centre
[14:58] <blitzo> i have a theme question: i installed a theme and got the error "this theme will not work correctly because gtk+ theme 'reduce' is not installed" - synaptic doesn't have this, where do i get it?
[14:59] <gfather> hello guys
[14:59] <skumara> should i follow the recomended step in error message (run nvidia-xconfig as root)?
[15:00] <ubuverify>  how do i configure a wifi adapter with ifconfig?
[15:00] <karthee> skumara: do you do compiz --replace ?
[15:00] <gfather> im looking for ubuntu book to teach me all the pro stuff, administration, terminal , the commands , the real deal do be a ubuntu pro
[15:00] <blitzo> ubuverify you can't do it with ifconfig
[15:00] <skumara> karthee nope. havent try compiz replace. should i try?
[15:00] <Oins> i started svnserve with start-stop-deamon. after a"killall svnserve" i did a refresh at my svn client. after that, there are new svnserve processes. how can i completely terminate the start-stop-deamon with my svnserve command ?
[15:01] <trojan_spike> ubuntu home page gfather ,, you'd learn all about linux
[15:01] <gfather> trojan_spike: are you sure
[15:01] <coz_> skumara,  compiz --replace   and what you could do instead is install  fusion-icon  and start it with    fusion-icon
[15:01] <Oins> an where can i find my start-stop-deamon process. a px aux (as root) does not show my that process
[15:01] <erUSUL> ubuverify: it depends... with an open wifi ( no wep or wpa) « sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid YUOR_SSID » followed by « sudo dhclient wlan0 » can be enough
[15:01] <trojan_spike> yea gfather , go to the forums etc,, search for what your looking
[15:01] <Oins> s/an/and
[15:01] <coz_> skumara,   also if you use fusion icon   go to system/preferences/appearance//visual effects  and tick "none"  then run    fusion-icon in   alt+F2
[15:02] <blitzo> gfather you need a lot of general unix knowledge, all that's special about ubuntu is specific packages and package manager
[15:02] <erUSUL> !manual | gfather
[15:02] <coz_> skumara,  if you want that to start automatically at log on  put   fusion-icon in the start up applications
[15:02] <PvtManiac> Hi, I'm having issues with ProFTPd, and locking users to their home directory. I looked around, and "DefaultRoot ~" should lock them into their home directory, but it does not. What do I do?
[15:02] <blitzo> gfather - try unix for dummies to start with - i'm serious, i used to teach unix classes out of it
[15:03] <IdleOne> gfather: see www.ubuntupocketguide.com http://ubuntu-manual.org/ and there are other Ubuntu books you can buy also
[15:03] <skumara> coz karthee i did compiz--replace it says  Couldn't find package compiz--replace
[15:03] <gfather> blitzo:  ill do that , ill find linux dminstration book or something , i know all the basic stuff, i want to go to next level
[15:03] <airtonix> mgolisch, do you use the t4 code templates ? I can't seem to get its to work. i type a code-templat-abbreviation and press tab, but it just inserts a tab space.
[15:04] <karthee> skumara .. hmm
[15:04] <gfather> IdleOne: im cheking
[15:04] <coz_> skumara,   ok   sudo apt-get install    fusion-icon
[15:04] <karthee> skumara ..  go to ubuntu software-center .. Install compiz first ..
[15:04] <blitzo> gfather, check out sage, the sys admins guild
[15:04] <coz_> skumara,   then in terminal run    fusion-icon & disown   if there are errors  go to pastebin.com and post them there and give us the link
[15:05] <gfather> blitzo: where is that ?
[15:05] <Oins> hmm. could it be, that svn+ssh://url/repos automatically starts a svnserve ?
[15:05] <IdleOne> gfather: I have The official Ubuntu book by by Benjamin Mako Hill
[15:05] <blitzo> gfather - google for it - "sage systems administrators"
[15:06] <mikebot> Is this the correct wya of installing java to work with chrome? http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java

[15:06] <Dr_Willis> mikebot:  i just install the java in the partners repo and it seems to work. dident do anything fancy
[15:06] <IdleOne> gfather: basically, there are plenty of books to learn from, local library will probably have a few.
[15:06] <ubuverify> sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off should turn off powermanagement for the wifi ap??
[15:07] <erUSUL> ubuverify: for the wifi chip/card
[15:07] <mikebot> Dr_Willis: How do I do that?
[15:07] <Siaco> hi to all!!!
[15:07] <erUSUL> !java | mikebot
[15:07] <gfather> erUSUL: nice link ;)
[15:07] <ubuverify> yes, it reads that it is off now xD
[15:07] <ubuverify> sweeet
[15:07] <Dr_Willis> mikebot:  that url you gave.. tells you --> 'INSTALL FROM THE PARTNER REPOSITORY'
[15:07] <gfather> IdleOne: ill try to get abook about shell , or linux administration ,
[15:08] <yunintegral_> http://5angh0.shworks.com/images/desktop/1.png in this screen shot, how can i change panel button's background?
[15:08] <mikebot> Dr_Willis: Ah, OK. Thanks
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> mikebot:  the other java works well for most people also.
[15:08] <Siaco> how I can install backtrack software in ubuntu?
[15:08] <blitzo> i have a theme question: i installed a theme and got the error "this theme will not look as intended because the required GTK+ theme 'reduce' is not installed" - ok where do i get that?
[15:08] <donkykong> Hello, what's the command to remove firefox web browser?
[15:08] <donkykong> I want to remove it and can't find it in software center.
[15:08] <erUSUL> !software | donkykong
[15:08] <donkykong> erUSUL,  Thanks...but I don't know the package name.
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> blitzo:  instsll the gnome-art tool and use it to look for it. I find those warnings are often  just over zelous. if the them looks good to you.. then use it.
[15:08] <coz_> mikebot,  if you are installing sun java  ..open synaptic  and uninstall icedtead and the openjava stuff
[15:08] <erUSUL> donkykong: is "firefox"
[15:08] <donkykong> erUSUL,  what is it's name? firefox?
[15:09] <donkykong> erUSUL,  Thanks so much.
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> blitzo:  thats proberly refering to the 'reduce gtk+ engine' that may be in the repos. or may not
[15:09] <erUSUL> no problem
[15:09] <coz_> mikebot,  my suggestion is to get rid of open java altogether ... I find sun java more reliable  << my opinion
[15:09] <mikebot> coz_: Do I need sunjava? I just want this applet on one site to work. Not sure what I need.
[15:09] <mikebot> coz_: OK, thanks
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> mikebot:  what site?
[15:09] <mikebot> coz_: So I just have to remove icedtea and openjava?
[15:10] <coz_> mikebot,   well and install sun-java6-plugin and it will pull down all you need
[15:10] <mikebot> Dr_Willis: http://introgame.playcatan.com/
[15:10] <mikebot> Dr_Willis: I think I need java for that
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> mikebot:  checking with the icetea java now.
[15:10] <ubuverify>  sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower 60 Error for wireless request "Set Tx Power" (8B26) :     SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.?? what am i doing wrong?
[15:10] <donkykong> erUSUL,  I tried just now Synaptic to remove it and when I want to search for it, near the search box it tells me Rebuilding search index, and it is with gray.
[15:10] <coz_> mikebot,  yes you need sun java for that site
[15:10] <blitzo> coz_ the latest version of sun java renders fonts badly while openjdk does an excellent job
[15:10] <donkykong> erUSUL,  Ohh, now it's white.:)
[15:11] <erUSUL> donkykong: :)
[15:11] <coz_> blitzo,  but opne java sucks for most sites  and you can install  sun java6 fonts as well
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> mikebot:  that site seems to be working with the icetea java here.. its a little slow to load.
[15:11] <mikebot> coz_: OK, so I remove those two things and install sun all in the package manager?
[15:11] <coz_> mikebot,  open synaptic and  hit "search"  and type in    icedtea
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> mikebot:  its working with the 'icetea' java.
[15:12] <blitzo> coz_ what is the sun java browser plugin called?
[15:12] <coz_> mikebot,   every thing listed when that comes up that is already installed  << uninstall it
[15:12] <erUSUL> blitzo: sun-java6-plugin
[15:12] <blitzo> coz_ i thought icedtea6 was openjdk
[15:12] <coz_> mikebot,  then make sure the partner repository is enabled and search for   sun java
[15:12] <mikebot> Dr_Willis: My chrome says "Missing Plug-in"
[15:12] <coz_> mikebot,   then install  sun -java6-plugin and it will pull down all you need
[15:12] <mikebot> coz_: Yikes, OK, thanks.
[15:13] <coz_> blitzo,  it is called sun-java6-plugin
[15:13] <mikebot> Dr_Willis: And Firefox just sat there and when the status bar claimed "Applet loaded" nothing appeared
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> mikebot:  oh. im using it in firefox.  thats weird.
[15:13] <blitzo> coz_ why isn't sun java included in the ubuntu repos anymore?
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> mikebot:  NOW i will be playing this game all day.. thanks a lot. :)
[15:14] <mikebot> Dr_Willis: Haha sorry... (lucky...)
[15:14] <coz_> mikebot,  make sure you tick   "mark for complete removal"  for each pacakge
[15:14] <IdleOne> blink: it is in the Ubuntu Partner repo
[15:14] <mikebot> coz_: How do I enable partner repositories?
[15:14] <IdleOne> blitzo: : it is in the Ubuntu Partner repo
[15:14] <IdleOne> sorry blink
[15:14] <coz_> mikebot,  in synaptic  go to Settings/repositoies
[15:14] <mikebot> coz_: OK, thanks.
[15:14] <coz_> mikebot,  click the "Other software"  tab
[15:14] <blitzo> mikebot if you google "sun java 10.04" you will find detailed step by step directions
[15:14] <skumara> coz and karthee problem not solved. my brother want to reinstall ubunthu and try . tq
[15:15] <coz_> skumara,  oh
[15:15] <donkykong> I want to install firefox and extracted the archive in my home folder, then executed firefox by double clicking it but nothing happens, why?
[15:15] <mikebot> Wait, before I do all of this, is there a way to check if I'm just missing the browser plug=in for icedtea and openjava which is why it isn't loading?
[15:15] <coz_> skumara,   make sure the disk is not defetive as well..if it is the live cd ...when it starts choose  check cd  option
[15:15] <hdpb> My desktop won't boot or shutdown properly with an active Nvidia card.
[15:15] <skumara> coz ok.
[15:16] <coz_> skumara,  or if downloading a new cd I would suggest the mininal cd  and go from there  but also check the md5sum on whichever cd you download
[15:16] <blitzo> mikebot icedtea6 is the browser plugin - you can open firefox and type "about:plugins" and it will tell you everything it knows about
[15:16] <blitzo> mikebot but icedtea6 is what folks are telling you to not use
[15:17] <karthee> skumara: Thats not the best option .. okay . have you installed fglrx ??
[15:17] <mikebot> blitzo: RIght. It's just bizzare that it works for Dr_Willis but not for me
[15:17] <coz_> mikebot,  do not use icedtea,,,, it will NOT work on that site you want
[15:17] <mikebot> coz_: OK, I will remove it all
[15:17] <coz_> mikebot,  if it does work for someone they are lucky in my opinion
[15:17] <blitzo> mikebot sun java is the gold standard in most cases
[15:17] <coz_> I am not a great supporter of open java  so I am a bit predjudiced here
[15:17] <mikebot> coz_: Do I remove also all the openjdk-6-jre installed files?
[15:17] <Daekdroom> How do I freeze a package version?
[15:17] <skumara> karthee it is vidio driver. not install yet. why?
[15:17] <erUSUL> !pinning | Daekdroom
[15:17] <coz_> mikebot,  yes everything
[15:18] <ubuverify>  sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower 60 Error for wireless request "Set Tx Power" (8B26)???
[15:18] <Daekdroom> erUSUL, thank you
[15:18] <coz_> mikebot,   everything that showed up installed when you serached for   icedtea
[15:18] <erUSUL> ubuverify: maybe the driver/card does not support it?
[15:18] <coz_> mikebot,   right click each one and "remove completely"
[15:18] <mikebot> coz_: OK, that's done
[15:18] <coz_> mikebot,  ok now hit search again and type in    sun java
[15:18] <karthee> skumara: so you have installed the propriotry nvidia driver . right ?
[15:19] <skumara> karthee yes.
[15:19] <coz_> mikebot,   look for      sun-java6-plugin and mark it for installation
[15:19] <blitzo> does anyone use cairo dock?  i am having weird problems with it
[15:19] <G__81> hi erUSUL
[15:19] <coz_> mikebot,  it will pull down all packages needed
[15:19] <karthee> skumara:  just check in Administration-> Hardware drivers ..
[15:19] <erUSUL> G__81: hi
[15:19] <G__81> i have few questions with respect to /etc/event.d can you help me out ?

[15:20] <Ganymede> can someone suggest a good tool to check what processes are touching my hard drive so i can track down why the hard drive is not spinning down and getting so hot?
[15:20] <coz_> mikebot,  did you enable the  partner repositories?
[15:21] <blitzo> i have a cairo dock problem - when the system starts, cairo dock is running (according to ps) but it is hidden - also, after it has been running for a while it starts to eat gobs of cpu and the system slows to a crawl
[15:21] <skumara> karthee i checked hardware drivers. there are two driver both say nvidia accelerated graphic drivers. one is recommended and one is version 173.
[15:21] <mikebot> coz_: Oh yes, which repository?
[15:21] <Ganymede> better yet, what processes are touching the root filesystem
[15:21] <coz_> mikebot,   hit the Settings  and go to repositories  and the Other software tab
[15:21] <ubuverify> google failed again =c.... sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower 60 Error for wireless request "Set Tx Power" (8B26)??? how do i find supported power settings / set this properly??

[15:25] <blitzo> coz_ what do you want to know out of settings
[15:25] <coz_> blitzo,  ok you will be better off with the weekly repository or manually installing from bzr then
[15:25] <skumara> karthee i checked hardware drivers. there are two driver both say nvidia accelerated graphic drivers. one is recommended and one is version 173.
[15:25] <coz_> blitzo, it should tell you which driver is in use
[15:25] <n0wje> Anyone have problems with Rhythmbox locking up usb mouse?
[15:26] <mikebot> coz_: Hmm. I have those repositories selected, but still only get sun-javadb-X stuff
[15:26] <coz_> mikebot,   did you Reload?
[15:26] <blitzo> coz_ it says driver version 173.14.22
[15:26] <coz_> blitzo,  ok that should be ok..which card again??
[15:26] <IdleOne> skumara: activate the recommended
[15:26] <blitzo> nVidia Corporation C67 [GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M] (rev a2)
[15:27] <mikebot> coz_: Yeah, and I get an error message that states "Could not download all repository indexes"
[15:27] <coz_> blitzo,   you probably should have installed the  nvidia_curren driver but that driver should be fine
[15:27] <coz_> mikebot, mmm
[15:27] <mikebot> coz_: But I don't see the partner one on that list
[15:27] <coz_> mikebot,  close synaptic   open a terminal    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[15:27] <skumara> IdleOne i already activate the recommended one.
[15:27] <blitzo> coz_ that driver installed itswelf when i turned on video special effects
[15:28] <coz_> blitzo,  ok
[15:28] <soadkombucha> Can anyone tell me how to retrieve a WPA key from linux?
[15:28] <soadkombucha> I can't boot into windows to use WirelessKeyView and I currently can't find the key anywhere else
[15:28] <skumara> ok guys. thanks. i will come back if problem persist.
[15:29] <blitzo> coz_ and those effects work just fine so far as i can tell - what cairo dock does it works fine when it first starts up but i have it set to autohide and afeter awhile i can't find it anymore
[15:29] <coz_> blitzo,  ok  meet me in #cairo-dock so we can get you the weekly repository
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> soadkombucha:  you basically want to 'crack' your own wpa key?
[15:29] <mikebot> coz_: I get some errors with that first one, like: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/Release.gpg  Something wicked happened resolving 'archive.canonical.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)
[15:30] <soadkombucha> Dr_Willis: Pretty much.
[15:30] <soadkombucha> Dr_Willis: It's saved, I know it has to be stored SOMEWHERE
[15:30] <soadkombucha> Dr_Willis: I just need to know how to display that stored key in plain text
[15:30] <coz_> mikebot,  mm  that's odd  ...are you in the US?
[15:30] <mikebot> ccozYes
[15:31] <coz_> mikebot,  mm  not sure why it failed with download
[15:31] <Dr_Willis> soadkombucha:  i dont think doing that from linux will be a trivial task.   or at least it will need some learning on your part. The linux box has NEVER been connected to that network right?
[15:31] <coz_> mikebot,  could be the server is busy let me try that here hold on
[15:31] <mikebot> coz_: OK, thanks a lot for helping me btw
[15:31] <Lucid> Good morning
[15:31] <rauta--away> coz_: There's something wrong in your end cuz I can see the GPG in plain text over from Finland.
[15:31] <coz_> mikebot,   ok it worked here O)
[15:32] <soadkombucha> Dr_Willis: The linux box is currently connected to the network
[15:32] <soadkombucha> Dr_Willis: I need to retrieve the key because I can't find it anywhere else and I need to reinstall Windows because it's BSODing
[15:32] <mikebot> coz_: Hmm, well let me try again after this update finishes (193 mb)
[15:32] <anirvana> hi, I am not able to access some websites from my ubuntu 9.10, which are accessible from windows, I am using a pppoe connection, Please help :)
[15:33] <violinappren> soadkombucha: http://blog.schmichael.com/2008/10/30/listing-all-passwords-stored-in-gnome-keyring/
[15:33] <soadkombucha> Dr_Willis: It's just a matter of finding out how to display a stored WPA encryption key in plain text
[15:34] <aeon-ltd> anirvana: what happens when you try?
[15:34] <soadkombucha> violinappren: Thank you
[15:34] <violinappren> soadkombucha: you're welcome
[15:34] <fayad> hi, can anyone help me connect my Marvell Yukon ethernet card in my Ubuntun 9.10 please?
[15:34] <monkey_dust> guys (and dolls) -- how can i enable wifi, using the bash command line?
[15:35] <donkykong> Is it safe to add this ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa?
[15:35] <anirvana> aeon-ltd : Nothing, It tries to load for sometimes then fails :(
[15:35] <violinappren> !anyone | fayad
[15:35] <soadkombucha> violinappren: Now I know how to do that easily. Much easier than windows- but the GUI was easier
[15:35] <aeon-ltd> anirvana: same machine dual boot?, works fine?
[15:35] <anirvana> aeon-ltd : yes
[15:35] <violinappren> soadkombucha: i'm sure there's a GUI for that somewhere
[15:36] <fayad> ubottu : thanx for the warm welcome buddy
[15:36] <aeon-ltd> anirvana: does any of the elements of the page load at all?
[15:36] <soadkombucha> violinappren: It's called Seahorse. It's the Passwords and Encryption Keys manager located under Accessories
[15:36] <violinappren> fayad: what's your question?
[15:36] <fayad> thanks violinappren:)
[15:36] <anirvana> aeon-ltd : I configured the connection using the pppoeconf command, Is there a user interface for it, where I can try changing DNS and all
[15:36] <soadkombucha> violinappren: So you know what it's called if anyone asks again
[15:36] <anirvana> aeon-ltd : No, Either it loads fully or it doesn't at all
[15:37] <donkykong> Is it safe to add this ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa?
[15:37] <aeon-ltd> anirvana: wait sometimes it loads? in ubuntu
[15:37] <fayad> I am trying to  my Marvell Yukon ethernet card in my Ubuntu 9.10
[15:37] <fayad> it gets randomly disconnected
[15:37] <soadkombucha> donkykong: : If you trust it
[15:37] <fayad> the driver is sky2
[15:37] <fayad> the eth0 card is detected
[15:37] <anirvana> aeon-ltd : Sorry, I couldn't understand your last message.
[15:37] <donkykong> soadkombucha,  I want to install firefox 3.6.6 ...
[15:38] <aeon-ltd> anirvana: in ubuntu sometimes the page will load?
[15:38] <fayad> i tried with ubuntu 10.04 too
[15:38] <soadkombucha> donkykong: Again, if you trust the ppa, then add it
[15:38] <anirvana> aeon-ltd : yes sometimes it does
[15:38] <donkykong> soadkombucha,  I do not trust anything.
[15:38] <greezmunkey> !md5sum > greezmunkey
[15:38] <soadkombucha> donkykong: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-mozilla-daily/ppa
[15:38] <aeon-ltd> anirvana: firewall set up?
[15:38] <violinappren> fayad: are you sure it's a software problem? could it be a faulty cable? i have the same card and it works fine
[15:38] <soadkombucha> donkykong: But don't forget sudo apt-get update
[15:38] <donkykong> soadkombucha,  Probably will try to download firefox again from the web.
[15:38] <anirvana> aeon-ltd :  I never checked it
[15:38] <soadkombucha> donkykong: But did you try system update first?
[15:38] <fayad> ahh great violinappren, thnx
[15:39] <fayad> that is not a cable issue
[15:39] <donkykong> soadkombucha,  I tried, and downloaded the updates.
[15:39] <donkykong> soadkombucha,  But I don't want canonicals custome firefox...
[15:39] <aeon-ltd> anirvana: so you havehn't changed any rules of the firewall?
[15:39] <fayad> cause i tried with another one, pc to pc..and it doesn't even ping
[15:39] <soadkombucha> donkykong: Then try it that way
[15:39] <soadkombucha> donkykong: The PPAs are generally reliable, yes
[15:39] <anirvana> aeon-ltd :  yes
[15:39] <soadkombucha> donkykong: I use a bunch of PPAs
[15:39] <donkykong> soadkombucha,  I want the official version with no addons...and the latest version of thunderbird too.
[15:39] <fayad> i am pretty sure that sky2 is the problem
[15:39] <donkykong> soadkombucha,  Not the one in ubuntu software center.
[15:40] <fayad> what is the driver that works for you violinappren?
[15:40] <violinappren> fayad: the same driver. do you get any errors in dmesg?
[15:40] <soadkombucha> donkykong: Then install it from the PPA
[15:40] <soadkombucha> donkykong: The PPA version should supercede the canonical version, even in update manager
[15:40] <donkykong> soadkombucha,  Ok.
[15:40] <donkykong> soadkombucha,  Thanks
[15:40] <soadkombucha> Not a problem
[15:40] <fayad> dmesg shows no error but says eth0 link is up and link is down every 5 seconds
[15:41] <fayad> and sometimes it won't connect at all
[15:41] <soadkombucha> fayad: Does your wireless have a wlan0up.sh?
[15:41] <anirvana> aeon-ltd :  I never changed them on ubuntu
[15:41] <aeon-ltd> anirvana: proxy settings in your browser?
[15:41] <fayad> i am not sure soadkombucha, how can i check that?
[15:42] <violinappren> fayad: sudo lspci and copy to a paste bin
[15:42] <anirvana> aeon-ltd :  I tried it in many browsers
[15:42] <switch10_> exit
[15:42] <soadkombucha> fayad: I don't know. I know that Realtek drivers source comes with a shell script that helps fix that problem not sure about other cards
[15:42] <fayad> but soadkombucha, you are mentioning about wireless card right?
[15:43] <aeon-ltd> anirvana: clear the proxy settings and try
[15:43] <mikebot> Is there a way to compeltely format and reinstall my ubuntu distro?
[15:43] <anirvana> aeon-ltd :
[15:43] <soadkombucha> fayad: Yeah
[15:43] <anirvana> aeon-ltd :  Fortunately I can access the site right now
[15:43] <fayad> okay, this is about my wired ethernet card
[15:44] <violinappren> fayad: copy the output of lspci (or at least the line for the card) to a pastebin
[15:44] <fayad> soadkombucha: i am trying to get this running first on my new lap, haven't checked wireless
[15:45] <IdleOne> mikebot: yes, with the Live cd
[15:45] <fayad> violinappren: yea, hold on
[15:45] <anirvana> aeon-ltd : When I click on the 'networks' icon, I find the "networks not managed" message.
[15:45] <aeon-ltd> anirvana: what website is this btw?
[15:45] <lvh> hello
[15:45] <lvh> I'm trying to use my mobile phone to connect to the internet on Lucid
[15:45] <anirvana> aeon-ltd :  http://sogo-demo.inverse.ca/SOGo
[15:45] <lvh> I have paired with the phone, but it does not appear as a device in NetworkManager.
[15:46] <mikebot> IdleOne: What about for a netbook?
[15:46] <IdleOne> !usb | mikebot
[15:46] <violinappren> lvh: at the last stage of pairing, wasn't there a check box to enable using it for internet access? delete the pairing and try again
[15:46] <aeon-ltd> anirvana: any other sites do this?
[15:46] <Traveler8> i have a pc upgradeing from 8.04 to 10.4 it seems to be froaen..if i reboot that pc, will the kernal be messed up?
[15:47] <anirvana> aeon-ltd :  this one too http://broadbandforum.in/bsnl-broadband/28933-bsnl-broadband-cant-access-websites/2/
[15:47] <lvh> violinappren: Not that I remember, it just said that it was paired successfully after I entered the PIN
[15:47] <fayad> violinappren: i don't have my lap with me, but i am pretty sure this is what is from my lspci command about ethernet card
[15:47] <mikebot> IdleOne: Thanks
[15:47] <violinappren> lvh: delete the pairing and check it
[15:47] <Husooo> !wireless | mikebot
[15:47] <aeon-ltd> anirvana: how often, if  it isn't much it could just be faulty servers on their end
[15:47] <fayad> violinappren: 08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Device 4380 (rev 10)
[15:48] <fayad> violinappren: lsmod | grep sk sky2                   41040  0
[15:48] <anirvana> aeon-ltd :  Not much
[15:48] <violinappren> fayad: this doesn't contain the chipset number
[15:48] <simon6> I have a problem: Something broke in my laptop when i dropped it, and now i can only access the terminal. I can navigate my files - how do i mount an external drive and copy my files to it? Any help is appreciated. PM please.
[15:49] <Traveler8> if i reset a pc in the middle of an install of an upgrade..will it be rendered useless?
[15:49] <rautamiekka> Traveler8: The whole idea of upgrading from one Ubuntu version to next is kind of broken, meaning you're best off to do a clean installation. Be warned that 10.04 is really broken system, a hard failure.
[15:49] <aeon-ltd> anirvana: more likely server problems since it isn't consistent
[15:49] <lvh> violinappren: no, tried in both directions (pairing from phone and from laptop)
[15:49] <fayad> violinappren: sorry for the lack of info, but what machine are you using?
[15:49] <Traveler8> o.0?
[15:49] <anirvana> aeon-ltd :  ok, thanks
[15:50] <iceroot> Traveler8: why would you do that?
[15:50] <lvh> violinappren: it just says "successfully set up new device 'Laurens'
[15:50] <violinappren> simon6: plug the drive and check if it's automatically mounted
[15:50] <Traveler8> iceroot the upgrade from 8.04 to 10.4 seems to have frozen..
[15:50] <fayad> violinappren: and the linux distro u are using?
[15:50] <iceroot> Traveler8: look at top or ps aux
[15:50] <coz_> blitzo,  so is the dock working better now???
[15:51] <Traveler8> top ps aux??
[15:51] <rautamiekka> Traveler8: He meant to execute either "top" or "ps aux"
[15:51] <blitzo> coz_ i can't tell until it's been up a couple hours
[15:51] <violinappren> lvh: than your phone probably doesn't support PAN connections
[15:51] <hdpb> how do i find installed soundcards in ubunt
[15:51] <fayad> violinappren: u there buddy?
[15:51] <blitzo> coz_ but it certainly has better eye candy than the other release
[15:51] <Traveler8> i can't do anything on that pc...onlything moving is the clock...
[15:52] <greezmunkey> hdpb: possibly lspci, or sudo lshw
[15:52] <coz_> blitzo,  ok let me know    sorry about leaving #cairo dock my fingers are way to big for the keyboard :)  and sometimes I hit the wrong keys :)
[15:52] <lvh> violinappren: it does under debian sid
[15:52] <violinappren> fayad: i asked you for the chipset number, provide that if you need further assistance or we can't do much for you here
[15:52] <blitzo> coz_ oh i thot you were tired of hearing about go :)
[15:52] <Traveler8> are you saying if it doesnt boot up again to run these commands?
[15:52] <coz_> blitzo,  yes the development version also has added  testing config settings
[15:53] <coz_> blitzo,   no  it was my fingers  and I apologize for that :)
[15:53] <violinappren> lvh: what model is your phone? and what version of ubuntu are you running?
[15:53] <coz_> blitzo,  I am back in #cairo-dock now :)
[15:53] <Traveler8> i'm about to shut it down and just go with it...see what happens
[15:53] <blitzo> coz_ if you are curious see http://okgoplayers.org/start
[15:53] <lvh> violinappren: 6220 classic, lucid
[15:53] <simon6> violinappren - thanks, i i plugged it in, and it wrote three lines with something like this "[ 1704.645216] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Assuming drive chace: write through"... and then it just shows the cursor (_)
[15:53] <coz_> blitzo,  thanks :)
[15:53] <lvh> violinappren: (that's nokia)
[15:54] <hdpb> it doesn't seem to be detecting my onboard sound card
[15:54] <Traveler8> next question: how can i set my wifi txpower beyond 100mw?
[15:54] <violinappren> simon6: i think you are better off booting a Live CD and getting the data off the drive from there
[15:54] <monkey_dust> guys (and dolls) -- how can i enable wifi, using the bash command line? -- hints & tips anyone?
[15:55] <simon6> violinappren - alright :) thanks for your help. How do i shut down from recovery menu?
[15:55] <erUSUL> monkey_dust: "enable wifi" is? install driver? connec to some ap? what?
[15:55] <rautamiekka> Traveler8: Unless the mW value is lower than max, it shouldn't be possible to force it higher than max but don't take my word on it.
[15:55] <blitzo> monkey_dust there was a discussion of that just a min ago, you do it with iwconfig
[15:55] <Traveler8> raut, yea i get an error if i try to set it even 1mw higher then 100 i'm guessing it doesnt support it
[15:56] <violinappren> simon6: type halt at shell
[15:56] <blitzo> traveler8 i thot 100mw was max legal limit
[15:56] <greezmunkey> hdpb: look through /var/log/dmesg then - you should find an indication of it there.
[15:56] <erUSUL> Traveler8: there are legal limits by country too
[15:56] <lvh> violinappren: hey guess what i found a bug!
[15:56] <Traveler8> oh crap...i didnt even consider legalities..
[15:57] <lvh> violinappren: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/478294
[15:57] <violinappren> monkey_dust: nmcli
[15:57] <lvh> violinappren: apparently it's a regression
[15:57] <Traveler8> so even if hw supported higher txpower..the software(ubuntu) won't allow it..it's just not programmed to?
[15:58] <Dr_Willis> Traveler8:  i think that may be part of the wireless cards firmware/driver binary driver pacakges also.
[15:58] <erUSUL> Traveler8: it is programmed to respect legal limits where aplicable
[15:58] <rautamiekka> Traveler8: Yeah, it depends on the country what is allowed. There's a program named "wireless-tools" which claims to support setting specific TX power, try that.
[15:58] <greezmunkey> Traveler8: so if you succeed in making you wifi ap extend, say 200 meters but your clients only reach out 100 meters, what have you gained?
[15:58] <lvh> violinappren: confirmed! installed blueman and everything wokrs
[15:58] <violinappren> lvh: that was reported last November, strange
[15:59] <coz_> blitzo,  ok .. I have to break here  ...I will be back in about an hour
[15:59] <Dr_Willis> Better placement of wireless antannas and so forth. :) can help a lot.
[15:59] <Traveler8> better signal strength within that 100 meters
[15:59] <Traveler8> xD
[15:59] <rautamiekka> Exactly.
[16:00] <greezmunkey> Traveler8: what I'm saying is that your ap is only as good as your client(s). That's all.
[16:00] <Traveler8> yea i'm thinking about doing a pringles antenne on the router itself...i have a coffe can lined with aluminum now, it's almost at peak signal on the ap
[16:01] <Traveler8> but its not gettin 54mb/s
[16:01] <rayvtirx> i have vsftpd and am using a script to block ips that fail login repeatedly , ive managed to lock myself out of my own server ftp wise , ive used iptables -F but my i am still blocked can anyone take a quick look at this little script and tell me how it blocks my ip
[16:01] <Traveler8> i also set the router to g only

[16:01] <AnxiousNut> Can somebody tell me which video players work with DVB? all that you know please!
[16:01] <ikonia> rayvtirx: iptables -L to see your current rules
[16:01] <erUSUL> Traveler8: this what enforces this things http://wireless.kernel.org/en/developers/Regulatory/CRDA
[16:01] <rayvtirx> dont know if i can post links to the forum the script is on here
[16:01] <lvh> violinappren: Yes that is a bit disheartening :(
[16:02] <violinappren> lvh: what's the version of your gnome-bluetooth package? apt-cache show gnome-bluetooth
[16:02] <Traveler8> seriously?
[16:02] <ikonia> rayvtirx: grep out your own IP
[16:02] <rayvtirx> ikonia there are none after i use iptables -F
[16:02] <violinappren> AnxiousNut: did you try VLC? it plays pretty much everything
[16:02] <ikonia> rayvtirx: are you using fail2ban
[16:02] <iflema> AnxiousNut kaffeine xine totem...... most of em...... =)
[16:03] <greezmunkey> *Q* I executed: dd if=/dev/cdrom1 bs=1 count=700413952 | md5sum :but it seems to be taking fffooorrrever - is this method correct to md5sum a burnt cdrom?
[16:03] <rayvtirx> not that im aware of
[16:03] <lvh> violinappren: 2.30.0-0ubuntu3
[16:03] <ikonia> rayvtirx: what are you using then ?
[16:03] <rayvtirx> i use shore wall as a firewall but i turned it off and it still blocks me
[16:04] <ikonia> rayvtirx: what tool are you using to log scape and add the firewall rules ?
[16:04] <rayvtirx> can i post a link to the script i used to block myself
[16:04] <hover> does ubuntu and xubuntu use same packages?
[16:04] <ikonia> rayvtirx: ok
[16:04] <ikonia> hover: yes

[16:05] <rayvtirx> until i forgot about it
[16:05] <rayvtirx> and blocked myself
[16:05] <Traveler8> what the chanel name for ubuntuofftopic?
[16:06] <blitzo> greezmunkey you have specified a blocksize of 1 byte, yep that will take while
[16:06] <abhijit> !ot | Traveler8
[16:06] <ikonia> rayvtirx: if you do an iptables -L what do you actually get

[16:07] <lvh> violinappren: I'll go check which version that is, upgrade, and see if the problem persists there.

[16:08] <rayvtirx> same underneath
[16:08] <greezmunkey> blitzo: yikes, ok...I probably should have checked the manpage about that before executing!! I a differant method before that worked, but couldn't remember it, so used this from the !md5sum hint. What the heck, let it run right!
[16:08] <rayvtirx> and the same for chain output policy
[16:08] <lvh> violinappren: Yes; that box has not been updated in *ages*
[16:08] <ikonia> rayvtirx: stop iptables and do an iptables -X then restart it
[16:09] <blitzo> greezmunkey you can do simply "md5sum /dev/sr0"
[16:09] <fayad> violinappren: but do you think a mismatched driver could cause this issue? is that why you asked me for the chipset number?
[16:09] <rayvtirx> how do i stop iptables
[16:09] <lvh> violinappren: in fact I'm not even sure anymore if it's even gnome-bluetooth or blueman; let me go get it out (it's a tiny laptop I only use for traveling)
[16:09] <ikonia> rayvtirx: /etc/init.d/iptables stop
[16:09] <greezmunkey> blitzo: that's the one. Thanks.
[16:10] <blitzo> prolly faster to use dd but set your bs to at least 1M
[16:10] <rayvtirx> command not found
[16:10] <Ben__> I need help with sound on my computer. All sound on my computer is suddenly not working, and it was working last night. I didn't change anything that I am aware of but now no sound works. My speakers are on and connected to the computer and to make sure it wasn't just the speakers i tried my headphones and they dont work either. Please Help!
[16:10] <ikonia> rayvtirx: ughh, I've not got an ubuntu box to hand to get the init script, look in /etc/init.d
[16:10] <violinappren> lvh: blueman is a separate app, doesn't integrate with network manager
[16:10] <blitzo> greezmunkey prolly faster to use dd but set bs=1M and i don't think you need to specify count, it will quit when it hits end of media
[16:11] <greezmunkey> blitzo: so what I told the system to do essentially is make 700 million individual operations?
[16:11] <mikebot> I'm having a problem with my netbook: some ubuntu menus are so tall that they don't fit on the screen. Is there a way to fix this?
[16:11] <mgolisch> Ben__: checked mixer levels in alsamixer?
[16:11] <blitzo> grrezmunkey sumpin like that
[16:11] <rautamiekka> rayvtirx: It must be used with "sudo". "sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop; sudo iptables -X; sudo /etc/init.d/iptables restart"
[16:11] <lvh> violinappren: yes, it does, it has a plugin to do that at least
[16:11] <Ben__> mgolisch: how do i do that?
[16:11] <rautamiekka> rayvtirx: Execute that whole line.
[16:11] <greezmunkey> blitzo: lmao now
[16:11] <Onionz> can someone pm me and help me troubleshoot my gateway/dhcp/dns server
[16:11] <rayvtirx> yeh have done
[16:11] <lvh> violinappren: (I know this because my internet connection now works through my mobile phone, which it did not with gnome-bluetooth :-))
[16:11] <Traveler8> why would i have no sound in runescape?
[16:12] <mgolisch> Ben__: open a terminal and type alsamixer, see if the channels are tunred up and not muted(MM) under them
[16:12] <lavish> Hi all
[16:12] <lvh> violinappren: Also, the debian box uses blueman, that's probably why it worked
[16:12] <violinappren> fayad: google  line you get from lspci and check if others are reporting the same problem
[16:12] <Onionz> Traveler8 is that in wine?
[16:12] <lvh> violinappren: perhaps the phone lies about its capabilities, and blueman just ignores them whereas gnome-bluetooth believes them
[16:13] <Ben__> mgolisch: when i type alsamixer into the terminal it says no such file or directory
[16:13] <lvh> violinappren: that would match with how it behaves with my old phone which *doesnt* do pan; I can try to do dun there too, but it doesn't actually do anything (just errors out)
[16:13] <violinappren> lvh: i think blueman creates a virtual interface and switches the route to it, i used to use it before gnome-bluetooth supported DUN connections
[16:13] <blitzo> greezmunkey: dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1M | md5sum
[16:13] <fayad> violinappren : i've done that, and so many of them are with the same problem, some have managed to get a new driver like sk98lin
[16:13] <mikebot> I'm having a problem with my netbook: some ubuntu menus are so tall that they don't fit on the screen. Is there a way to fix this?
[16:13] <Traveler8> um no mozilla firefox?
[16:13] <Traveler8> onion^
[16:13] <violinappren> fayad: then why not try the solutions you've seen?
[16:14] <lvh> violinappren: I just tried it and blueman indeed produces a ppp0 device
[16:14] <lvh> violinappren: Isn't that how it's always supposed to work? this is how i did it with pon/poff/wvdial back in the day
[16:14] <fayad> violinappren: :) well there are not many solutions for this. it is a stuck up situation
[16:14] <lavish> I'd like to remove the "logout" button from the main menu. I know that I can use the lockdown editor, but if I set "disable log out" to true it remove the shutdown button too
[16:14] <Onionz> Traveler8  sorry don't know then
[16:14] <greezmunkey> blitzo: yeah, it's running now. I used your first suggestion, removing the bs, and count...
[16:14] <Traveler8> it wouldn't be needed to run mozilla,runescape in wine?
[16:14] <fayad> violinappren: i wonder how it works for you
[16:14] <AnxiousNut> how do i check the location of a usb device? /dev/..?
[16:14] <Traveler8> hmm
[16:15] <greezmunkey> blitzo: er, removing the count, sorry.
[16:15] <violinappren> lvh: well it may conflict with network manager because both are trying  to set up routes, DNS entries, etc
[16:15] <Traveler111> Hello folks :-) Question, can I upgrade from 6.10 to the latest?
[16:15] <mgolisch> Ben__: odd i was quite sure its installed by default
[16:15] <Onionz> Traveler8 never played runescape, don't know
[16:15] <violinappren> fayad: probably a different chipset number than yours
[16:15] <Ben__> should i get it?
[16:15] <lvh> violinappren: actually, come to think of it, I see a ppp device but i have no idea if nm made it or blueman did
[16:15] <lvh> violinappren: all i know is it works
[16:15] <Ben__> mgolisch: should i get it?
[16:15] <violinappren> Traveler111: you better do a clean install
[16:15] <blitzo> greezmunkey bs has more to do with memory management; the drive still reads the same number of bytes eithyer way and buffers them
[16:16] <Traveler111> violinappren thing is that I don't have any removeable media to install from. It won't accept USB :-)
[16:16] <greezmunkey> blitzo: cool, thanks - it is apprieciated :)
[16:16] <Traveler111> all i have is a ubuntu 6.10 cdrom
[16:16] <violinappren> lvh: judging by your issue, it's most likely blueman that created it
[16:16] <blitzo> greezmunkey however if you are writing with dd then it will matter
[16:16] <mgolisch> Ben__: yeah but it should be installed
[16:16] <lvh> violinappren: If I disconnect from the connection in nm, ppp0 disappears
[16:17] <mgolisch> Ben__: my lucid box has it
[16:17] <lvh> violinappren: so it would appear nm does it
[16:17] <fayad> violinappren: thanks, and what about this error " pointer to bitloadval table invalid" while trying to boot to ubuntu 10.04 in my sony vaio
[16:17] <Traveler8> wine internet explorer has no addressbar...how do i fix this?
[16:17] <rayvtirx> no not working
[16:17] <greezmunkey> blitzo: got it. It's not a command I use very often at all.
[16:17] <fayad> violinappren: i get stuck in this point
[16:17] <violinappren> Traveler111:  you can do a network install or install from the ISO on the hard drive (using alternative not desktop ISO)
[16:17] <lvh> violinappren: also, blueman comes with a plugin called "NMDUNSupport" :-)
[16:17] <rayvtirx> there is nothing named iptables in init.d
[16:17] <fayad> violinappren: it won't boot to OS
[16:17] <bazhang> Traveler8, /join #winehq for help with wine apps
[16:17] <blitzo> greezmunkey but it's so handy - you can dupe a partition with it, not to mention zero our a partition
[16:17] <Ben__> mgolisch, after i installed "GNOME Alsa Mixer" where is it?
[16:17] <fayad> violinappren: i have a 64 bit machine and i am tryin 32bit OS
[16:17] <roydude> !routing
[16:17] <roydude> !router
[16:18] <mgolisch> Ben__: no nothing with gnome
[16:18] <violinappren> lvh: does NM show the DUN connection? how so?
[16:18] <lvh> violinappren: also there's an NMMonitor which checks NM for when the connection goes down and automatically closes the bluetooth link
[16:18] <mgolisch> Ben__: its a cmdline app
[16:18] <roydude> !iptables
[16:18] <lvh> violinappren: Like I would expect it to do with a different phone
[16:18] <rautamiekka> Traveler111: I recall that the Repos for Ubuntus older than 8.04 were deleted ages ago, but the whole idea of upgrading an Ubuntu installation is kind of broken, so you're better off to do clean installation.
[16:18] <Ben__> mgolisch: how should i get it then?
[16:18] <blitzo> can anyone tell me how to register my nick?
[16:18] <violinappren> lvh: ah new plugin, well i haven't used blueman in a long time
[16:18] <lvh> violinappren: I click on the applet, it shows Wired Network, Mobile Broadband, Wireless Networks
[16:18] <bazhang> blitzo, /join #freenode for help with that
[16:18] <lvh> violinappren: Like it's supposed to really
[16:18] <Traveler111> rautamiekka, alright. thanks for the heads up
[16:18] <piero> Hi! Nowdays we have 10 to 100 Mbit/s connections but when we need to download packages from a mirror we just have about 100 to 300kb/s due to upload restrictions in the servers. So, is it possible to use multiple mirrors at the same to download the packages needed to a system upgrade ? It could save a lot of hours, and this really makes difference, I think, without "hacking" server's policies.
[16:19] <Abhijeet> how can i add a route permanently in ubuntu

[16:19] <Traveler111> piero, there is no such limit. I'm downloading with max speed
[16:19] <bazhang> mgolisch, language please
[16:19] <Ben__> i Have it, just had to run as root
[16:19] <roydude> hey folks, I'm have a machine with two nics I'm trying to behave like a router.  I can ping machine accross the nics, but I can't seem to get internet traffice to cross.  Anyone care to lend a hand?
[16:19] <Ben__> mgolisch: i have it, just had to run as root
[16:19] <greezmunkey> blitzo: I have duplicated voicemail hdds with it, and a couple of laptop hdds in the past. I havent thought about wiping a drive that way though. Makes sense that it would. You would like write a repeated character over the whole thing i assume.
[16:19] <piero> Traveler111, Which mirror are you using?
[16:20] <rautamiekka> Traveler111: A warning regarding it: steer clear of Ubuntu 10.04 cuz it's the most broken Ubuntu version ever. Stay with 9.10 instead.
[16:20] <mgolisch> Ben__: you shouldnt need to it should work as your user
[16:20] <ikonia> rautamiekka: that's utter nonsense
[16:20] <IdleOne> !language | mgolisch
[16:20] <ikonia> rautamiekka: do not give out false information
[16:20] <Ben__> mgolisch, well i had to type sudo alsamixer, and i see that front mi is muted, what should i do?
[16:21] <violinappren> Abhijeet: google debian static routes
[16:21] <Traveler111> piero, the dutch ones. as I'm in holland
[16:21] <greezmunkey> Traveler111: 10.04 runs fine for me.
[16:21] <rautamiekka> ikonia: For each 15 minute of using 10.04 I've hit my head at wall for 15 times. It's broken junk. If the 10.10 ain't better, I switch from Ubuntu-
[16:21] <ikonia> rautamiekka: ok - so it's not working for "you" don't tell others not to use it
[16:21] <mgolisch> Ben__: select the channel and press the m key
[16:21] <violinappren> FrEaKmAn_: install base-devel
[16:21] <rautamiekka> ikonia: I won't regard that.
[16:21] <Abhijeet> violinappren, ok
[16:21] <mikebot> I'm having a problem with my netbook: some ubuntu menus are so tall that they don't fit on the screen. Is there a way to fix this?
[16:22] <om26er> mikebot, screenshot please
[16:22] <lvh> mikebot: are you using plain ubuntu or the netbook remix?
[16:22] <ikonia> rautamiekka: then you'll be removed from the channel, your experiences are valid, but don't blindly tell people not to use it
[16:22] <mgolisch> Ben__: but the mic shouldnt be the problem if you get no sound at all, make sure no other channels like master,pcm ,front or so have MM under them
[16:22] <Ben__> mgolisch, also the headphone thing is at zero, how do i make it go up?
[16:22] <mikebot> lvh: netbook remix
[16:22] <mgolisch> Ben__: up key
[16:22] <mikebot> om26er: ONe moment please
[16:22] <lvh> mikebot: Ah! Yeah then take the screenshot please :)
[16:22] <IdleOne> rautamiekka: Are we to assume you have tested 10.04 on every possible hardware setup and have come to the conclusion that it does not work on any?
[16:22] <roydude> anyone know where I can go to get help on setting up ubuntu as a router?
[16:22] <ikonia> !ics | roydude
[16:22] <Ben__> mgolisch, its not doing anything...
[16:22] <abhijit> Abhijeet, you are that meego one?
[16:22] <ikonia> roydude: iptables will work really well with it
[16:22] <mgolisch> Ben__: so all channels have 00 under them?
[16:23] <mgolisch> Ben__: MM means muted
[16:23] <Abhijeet> abhijit, yes..
[16:23] <violinappren> roydude: what are you trying to accomplish?
[16:23] <mikebot> lvh om26er is there a pastebin for screenshots?
[16:23] <abhijit> Abhijeet, hi its me abhi_nav this is my new nick
[16:23] <om26er> mikebot, pastebin.org
[16:23] <Ben__> mgolisch, all channels have 00 under them except for pcm and front mic
[16:23] <mgolisch> Ben__: if pcm is muted you wont have any sound
[16:23] <greezmunkey> blitzo: here's the result, the count is identical: 700413952 bytes (700 MB) copied, 520.196 s, 1.3 MB/s - the disk is ok.
[16:23] <Ben__> mgolisch, and the headphone one also had no bar
[16:23] <mikebot> om26er: I can upload pictures to that
[16:23] <Abhijeet> abhijit: hi... your name is abhinav.. then why did u choosed abhijit...
[16:23] <mikebot> ?
[16:24] <mgolisch> Ben__: oh right pcm doenst have that you cant mute that
[16:24] <om26er> mikebot, yes
[16:24] <rayvtirx> ikonia - DOH! it works after  a vsftpd restart - vsorry and thanks for tryin to help
[16:24] <mikebot> om26er: How?
[16:24] <lvh> ew, ftpds
[16:24] <lvh> in 2010? really?
[16:24] <mgolisch> Ben__: what did you do for it stop working?
[16:24] <ikonia> rayvtirx: no problem, I wonder why the vsftpd session needed restarted
[16:24] <Ben__> mgolisch, how about i just take a screenshot and upload it to image shack to show you?
[16:24] <roydude> ikonia: thanks I'll read this
[16:24] <Jayer> how do i get a side bar in ubuntu
[16:24] <Jayer> >?
[16:24] <Jayer> ?
[16:25] <mgolisch> Ben__: yeah maybe do that
[16:25] <ikonia> rayvtirx: the blocoking is with iptables, so that doesn't make sense, but I'm glad your working
[16:25] <Ben__> mgolisch, okay one sec...
[16:25] <rayvtirx> :)
[16:25] <violinappren> Jayer: google ubuntu docks
[16:25] <Jayer> thanks
[16:25] <FrEaKmAn_> violinappren, count find that package
[16:26] <om26er> mikebot, open the webiste it wil have the option to upload image. upload and give the link hre
[16:26] <Ben__> mgolisch, thanks for trying to help but i have to go
[16:26] <mikebot> om26er: I don't see where I can upload an image.. where on the website?
[16:26] <Ben__> mgolisch, thanks anyway though
[16:27] <xangua> Jayer: you mean sidebar with widgets and that kind of stuff¿¿ instal gdesklets
[16:27] <om26er> mikebot, 'add image'.. scroll down
[16:27] <Dr_Willis> theres also googles applets. opera has applets.
[16:27] <greezmunkey> Thanks for all the help blitzo, time to go to the hardware store. I'm building a water ballon trebuchet for the family picnic today.
[16:28] <violinappren> FrEaKmAn_: sorry, build-essentials
[16:28] <bazhang> !b-e
[16:28] <mikebot> om26er: http://imagebin.ca/view/W7Ztw-l.html
[16:28] <mikebot> om26er: there was no add image tool on pastebin.org
[16:29] <talker78> hi there!
[16:29] <mikebot> lvh: http://imagebin.ca/view/W7Ztw-l.html
[16:29] <om26er> mikebot, this cannot be fixed but you can view the bottom part by holding ALT key and clicking
[16:30] <mikebot> lvh: om26er: here's another one: http://imagebin.ca/view/qrDH5Ar.html
[16:30] <mikebot> om26er: Oh perfect, thank you!
[16:30] <om26er> mikebot, that google chrome problem will be fixed in the next version of Ubuntu
[16:31] <lopten> Hello,  I downloaded firefox 3.6 from firefox.com...but it won't start, why?
[16:31] <mikebot> om26er: Is there not an easy fix? if (frameHeight > windowHeight) then (addScrollBar)??
[16:31] <mikebot> om26er: (NOte: I'm not a programmer)
[16:31] <abhijit> lopten, double click on thunderbird.bin
[16:31] <lvh> violinappren: I am unfamiliar with ubuntu's bug process. Am I supposed to do something to potentially alert upstream?
[16:31] <violinappren> lopten: run it from a terminal and check if there are any error messages
[16:31] <xangua> mikebot: or better use chromium, is already in lucid repositories
[16:31] <lvh> violinappren: since it's based on a debian package
[16:31] <FrEaKmAn_> anybody using zlib?
[16:31] <saji89> lopten, which version of ubuntu are you using?
[16:32] <om26er> mikebot, google chrome's designers dont want any scrollbar in the first and second tab
[16:32] <lopten> saji89,  10.04 32 bit version
[16:32] <om26er> mikebot, and yes its easily fixable
[16:32] <mikebot> om26er: I just mean generally, for ubuntu to apply that to every window opened
[16:32] <mikebot> xangua: thanks
[16:32] <lopten> Abhijeet,  I'm talking about firefox not thunderbird...
[16:32] <xangua> lopten Abhij extract it somewhere, enter the folder and double click in thunderbird.SH
[16:32] <lvh> Until gnome-bluetooth stops being broken, is there some way of getting it out of the "notification area"?
[16:32] <lopten> xangua,  Thou I want to install thunderbird too...how do I run from the terminal?
[16:32] <om26er> mikebot, no that I dont think is possible.. but maybe oneday gtk will be intelligent enough ;)
[16:33] <saji89> lopten, Then u need not download the 3.6 version from Firefox. Firefox 3.6.6 version is already available in Ubuntu 10.04. just install it using Synaptic.
[16:33] <lopten> xangua,  Both firefox and thunderbird have a .sh file..
[16:33] <violinappren> lvh:  debian is not the real upstream (i'ts gnome.org) but probably shouldn't alert them since it seems to be an ubuntu issue (as it works in debian sid)
[16:33] <mikebot> om26er: Haha OK. Well thanks a lot. The alt trick si what I was looking for.
[16:33] <lvh> violinappren: Right, I meant gnome.org
[16:33] <lopten> saji89,  I don't want to use the repositories one, and neither thunderbird too.
[16:33] <lvh> violinappren: Note: it does *not* work in debian sid
[16:33] <violinappren> !help | FrEaKmAn_
[16:33] <lopten> saji89,  They are outdated and have custome things I do not want to install.
[16:33] <saji89> lopten, ok.
[16:33] <lvh> violinappren: I was mistaken; the thing that works there is *also* blueman, *not* gnome-bluetooth
[16:33] <lopten> saji89,  I want to install the ones from firefox's website...
[16:34] <lvh> violinappren: sorry for the confusion
[16:34] <saji89> lopten, HAd u tried thunderbord too?
[16:34] <lvh> violinappren: to set the record straight: blueman works everywhere, gnome-bluetooth works nowhere
[16:34] <xangua> lopten: thunderbird is already in teh repositories, you downlaoded the lates version from mozilla's web¿ what version of ubuntu are you using¿
[16:34] <om26er> lopten, use this ppa ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable
[16:34] <FrEaKmAn_> violinappren, what? Im trying to install zlib using http://www.techsww.com/tutorials/libraries/zlib/installation/installing_zlib_on_ubuntu_linux.php and Im not sure where to store it
[16:34] <lopten> xangua,  thunderbird in the repos is 3.0.5 and the lates one on the website is 3.1...
[16:34] <xangua> om26er: i believe that ppa is only for firefox
[16:34] <saji89> om26er, It seems he doesn't want the Ubuntu packaged stuff. he wants the one from Firefox website.
[16:35] <lopten> om26er,  I want to install them manually, no software center...
[16:35] <lopten> om26er,  I don't want to have nothing to do with ppa...just download it from the website...and install them manually.
[16:35] <saji89> lopten, have ypu tried to run the sh files you said?
[16:35] <lopten> saji89,  One second, I'll try now.
[16:36] <saji89> lopten, Ok. tell me the results.
[16:36] <stanley_robertso> hi all
[16:36] <lopten> saji89,  run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute .
[16:36] <LCY> Hello
[16:36] <ubuntu_> ubuntu-it
[16:37] <saji89> lopten, how you tried to execute it. via terminal? if so how?
[16:37] <lopten> saji89,  I have one file named run-mozilla.sh and I executed it in the terminal by ./run-mozilla.sh
[16:37] <saji89> !ask
[16:37] <roydude> ikonia: I don't know what I'm doing wrong...
[16:37] <yao> ddfaaaf
[16:37] <saji89> lopten, One moment please. I'm now downloading it.
[16:37] <yao> 有人么？
[16:37] <om26er> lopten, the version fromm ppa is latest I think
[16:38] <lopten> saji89,  Ok
[16:38] <lopten> om26er,  It may be but as I said, I want to install it manually, I do not trust ubutnu software center, ppa...
[16:38] <dextro_> hi
[16:38] <dextro_> the installer is crashing right after i hit next on the keyboard layout page
[16:38] <dextro_> is this normal? how am i suposed to dual boot?
[16:38] <dextro_> i assume the installer doesnt like my windows partition and is crashing
[16:39] <saji89> lopten, try "ls -al run-mozilla.sh"   to verify if it has execute permissions set.
[16:39] <xangua> lopten: then you don't trust ubuntu¿¿
[16:39] <dextro_> because i have installed ubuntu on this box before windows was on it and it worked fine
[16:39] <om26er> dextro_, you have windows installed? insert ubuntu cd in window and start the install from there
[16:39] <lopten> xangua,  check for fedora's incident with repositories ...and see what I mean.
[16:39] <dextro_> there is no option to install it on its own partition when you insatall from inside windows
[16:40] <quinten> hi--i'm using an intel 855GM graphics chip. I had to install a special kernel to get X.org to boot, and now i have no openGL support
[16:40] <bodom> Hi there. May someone help me with phonon troubles?
[16:40] <saji89> xangua, Its his personal choice
[16:40] <lopten> saji89,  I right clicked the run-mozilla.sh by right clicking it and it has execute permissions set.
[16:40] <Cube``> so i had 10.04 installed, then installed win7. tried to get grub back, but it doesnt seem to find the stage1 thing anywhere. how can i manage to boot into my ubuntu system=?
[16:40] <xangua> dextro_: then make a partition for ubuntu, you ca do it with the live cd (via gparted)
[16:40] <saji89> lopten, ok.
[16:40] <abhijit> !fixgrub | Cube``
[16:41] <saji89> lopten but please just try the ls -al thing
[16:41] <quinten> anybody know how to get openGL to work? i saw module GLX and DRI are both loading in xorg.conf, but the GLX version is for NVIDIA, and I have an intel chip.
[16:41] <Seppoz> i installed openssh-server on my Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 whats the default command to start the server?
[16:41] <dextro_> xangua> it will still run inside windows
[16:41] <violinappren> !jp | yao
[16:41] <dextro_> when installed from inside windows
[16:41] <xangua> dextro_: what are you talking about¿¿ inside windows¿¿
[16:41] <sidneymccoy> greetings all :) have made no secret of my disappointments with 10.04, but wondered if the newest updates broke anything? Suddenly my wireless is completely dead
[16:41] <monkey_dust> guys (and dolls) -- how can i enable wifi, using the bash command line? -- hints & tips anyone?
[16:42] <dextro_> the windows ubuntu installer says it installs and runs ubunti inside windows
[16:42] <dextro_> and there will be a performance decrease
[16:42] <dextro_> which i do not want
[16:42] <lopten> saji89,  Ok
[16:42] <yao> 乱码？
[16:42] <Seppoz> i actually tryed service sshd start and servie openssh-server start
[16:42] <sidneymccoy> has anyone heard of any new 10.04 updates breaking anything much?  any repair tips?
[16:42] <saji89> monkey_dust, refer this- https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo
[16:42] <violinappren> !help | bodom
[16:43] <saji89> monkey_dust, It has the command line steps to enable wifi.
[16:43] <xangua> sidneymccoy: do you have backport/proposed update activated¿¿

[16:43] <xangua> if you do then...disable them
[16:43] <G__81> how do i run qemu-kvm in Ubuntu 10.04 ?
[16:43] <monkey_dust> saji89, which are those steps?
[16:43] <G__81> isnt that available ?
[16:43] <anki> hey guys can someone help me I want to add windows 7 to the grub.conf but I dont know which number of the hardrive also partition it is :S
[16:43] <saji89> lopten, So u have execute permissions.
[16:43] <revarr> I love ubuntu but this brightness is killing me
[16:43] <sidneymccoy> xangua: no idea, where do I check?
[16:43] <saji89> monkey_dust, Please refer it.
[16:43] <xangua> sidneymccoy: system>preferences>software sources
[16:44] <bodom> So, my problem is: phnon conflicts with non-phonon applications. When some application using phonon is playing audio, other applications are blocked, and vice-versa
[16:44] <xangua> system>administration>software sources *** sidneymccoy
[16:44] <lopten> saji89,  Yes
[16:44] <saji89> monkey_dust, It has the section "using the command line". refer below that.
[16:44] <monkey_dust> anki, Windows should be referred to as 'chainloader +1'
[16:44] <anki> well I know that but..
[16:44] <anki> its more dificult..
[16:44] <lopten> saji89,  But don't know why it doesn't start when I do ./run-mozilla.sh
[16:44] <quinten> Seppoz, make sure it's fully configured. try editing /etc/sshd.conf, or similarly named config file
[16:45] <anki> I got 5 harddrives and windows 7 are on /dev/sde
[16:45] <saji89> lopten, ya that's wierd.
[16:45] <saji89> lopten, did u try thunderbird?
[16:45] <qwe_> hi. When I connect with DSL connection (NetworkManager) my eth0 looses IP. How can I prevent that?
[16:45] <violinappren> anirvana: use gparted to check which partition has windows and decrease its number by one
[16:45] <lopten> saji89,  The same story..
[16:45] <violinappren> anki: ^
[16:45] <quinten> Seppoz, also, try /etc/init.d/sshd start--the old method for starting a daemon and perhaps still what openssh uses
[16:45] <lopten> saji89,  Exactly as firefox.
[16:45] <G_G> Who is Sepp Blatter?
[16:45] <saji89> lopten, You did this- ./thunderbird
[16:45] <pp1010> ..
[16:45] <anki> ?.
[16:45] <saji89> lopten, isn't it?
[16:46] <sidneymccoy> xangua: looked around but didn't see "backport/proposed" mentioned anywhere
[16:46] <freezke> hy, i'm playing around with honeyd, i've set up all and it works fine, now my question is, do i have to forward in my real router the open port to the virtual ip? or how does that work?
[16:46] <angel__> Is there a simple way to create a bootable .img file of a linux distro? I am wanting to create a .img file that I can use to run on my android phone. Anyone here able to give me a hand with this particular problem?
[16:46] <lopten> saji89,  No
[16:46] <saji89> lopten, then?
[16:46] <lopten> saji89,  ./run-mozilla.sh
[16:46] <violinappren> bodom: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[16:46] <lopten> saji89,  I'm in the terminal, right at the thunderbirds location.
[16:46] <saji89> lopten, ok.
[16:47] <dezine> Is there anyway to eliminate or at least reduce the amount of times I have to enter a password? It's simply insane to enter a password thirty times a day when all I am doing is installing a program or updating my system that only I use.
[16:47] <saji89> lopten, and which command did u execute?
[16:47] <xangua> lopten: you may wanna ask the thunderbird channel in mozilla's irc network
[16:47] <xangua> in*
[16:47] <padhu> angel__: meego is available for free download, just google it
[16:47] <dextro_> xangua> dextro_: then make a partition for ubuntu, you ca do it with the live cd (via gparted)
