[14:28] <dr_willis> pfifo:  i got my router set to use <IP_ADDRESS> as its primary.
[14:28] <g465> yes ubuntu 11.10
[14:28] <SeeIt> http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-ubuntu-system-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address.html
[14:28] <pfifo> dr_willis, my router is low end
[14:29] <bekks> wolfi_: The filename is green because the access rights 755 are set.
[14:29] <jorel1012> i'm talking about the dock in ubuntu oneiric ocelot
[14:29] <jorel1012> 11.10
[14:29] <dr_willis> pfifo:  must be.. even my $30 router has the feature.
[14:29] <jorel1012> that stupid dock in the left side from the window
[14:29] <dr_willis> jorel1012:  and... talking about doing what exactly?
[14:29] <wolfi_> bekks: the insructions say execute 'fwupd /foo/bar'
[14:29] <bekks> wolfi_: I want a link to read the instructions on my own, please.
[14:30] <wolfi_> bekks: ok one minute ...
[14:30] <madadam1> does exist a way to save all the gnome menu tree?
[14:30] <jorel1012> i know what they come with unity but ilike the interface
[14:30] <dr_willis> jorel1012:  take some time clarify the question, and start from the beginning....
[14:31] <wolfi_> bekks: www.ocztechnology.com/files/ssd_tools/OCZ_Firmware_Update_Guide_8_12_2011_Linux_consumer_1.pdf
[14:32] <bekks> wolfi_: So just run: sudo ./fwupd /dev/yourdisk
[14:32] <g465> how can rotate desktop like cube
[14:32] <bekks> wolfi_: DONT run it as long as you have no backup. Create a backup of that disk before.
[14:32] <jorel1012> ok. i'm talking about the dock in unity from ubuntu 11.10. i would like to uninstall and install another dock as Mac OS
[14:32] <dr_willis> !cube
[14:32] <wolfi_> A Backup is done.
[14:33] <wolfi_> bekks: A Backup is done.
[14:33] <dr_willis> jorel1012:  you can just install awn or whatever dock and run it if you want. you really dont want to  'remove' the 'unity panel'
[14:33] <dr_willis> !dock
[14:33] <dr_willis> jorel1012:  the ccsm tool lets you tweak the panel settings also if you want.
[14:33] <bekks> wolfi_: Did you download the firmware update file itself, too? fwupd is just the executable to run the firmware update process.
[14:34] <dr_willis> !ccsm
[14:34] <usalabs> I'm running a web site using apache, there is no problem connecting to it from localhost, but before make it live and set my domain name to point to my IP address, I use my IP address in my browser, and all I get is 'connecting to [WAN IP], then it suddenly changes to 'connecting to [LAN IP], it shouldn't do that at all,,, anyone know why this is happening?
[14:34] <jorel1012> and chow can i get that
[14:34] <jorel1012> and how can i get that
[14:34] <bekks> usalabs: As your router ;)
[14:34] <wolfi_> bekks: yes. This executable downloads the firmware from internet.
[14:34] <dr_willis> jorel1012:  get what? the packages i mentioned are in the software center. read the bots factoids  for details.
[14:35] <jorel1012> i'm a new user
[14:35] <usalabs> bekks lan IP is the address of the web server,,, I have loopback enabled in router
[14:35] <bekks> wolfi_: So "no".
[14:35] <dr_willis> big icon in the panel.. called 'software center' i belive..
[14:35] <wolfi_> bekks: er ...yes
[14:35] <BluesKaj> Hi folks
[14:35] <bekks> usalabs: Thats why you are actually connecting to your physical LAN, and not to a WAN.
[14:36] <wolfi_> bekks: Maybe it's necessary to change some rights with 'chmod' ?? But I' don't know the syntax nor the right rights ...
[14:36] <bekks> wolfi_: No.
[14:36] <bekks> wolfi_: I already told you how to run that file.
[14:37] <wolfi_> uh,sorry - I didn't recognised it .... please agan :*(
[14:37] <bekks> 1112 153200 < bekks> wolfi_: So just run: sudo ./fwupd /dev/yourdisk
[14:37] <theborger> hey guys i just updated 10.04 and it reverted me back to alsamixer 1.0.22. i need 1.0.24.  when i do apt-get it says could not find package
[14:37] <wolfi_> ok :*)
[14:37] <theborger> sudo apt-get install linux-alsa-driver-modules-$(uname -r)
[14:37] <theborger> Reading package lists... Done
[14:37] <theborger> Building dependency tree
[14:37] <theborger> Reading state information... Done
[14:37] <theborger> E: Couldn't find package linux-alsa-driver-modules-2.6.32-35-generic
[14:37] <FloodBot1> theborger: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> theborger: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure     shows how you can add a ppa to get the 1.0.24 version
[14:38] <usalabs> bekks using my WAN IP in the browser and loopback enabled, I should see my site home page, but for some reason, the WAN IP gets routed to my LAN IP, and shows it in the browser as my LAN IP, which shouldn't happen,,, even an outside connection first shows my WAN IP then changes to trying to connect to my LAN IP
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> theborger: just leave that package name out of the list :)
[14:39] <wolfi_> bekks: why is the ./ necessary ? I was in the right folder ?
[14:39] <bekks> usalabs: You cannot test an outside sourced connection being in your home LAN.
[14:39] <theborger> ActionParsnip: thanks
[14:39] <dr_willis> the current directory is not in the default 'path'
[14:39] <dr_willis> the current directory is not in the default 'path'  thats why wolfi_
[14:40] <theborger> ActionParsnip: still got some errors
[14:40] <theborger> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/DpD80ALr
[14:41] <g0th> hi
[14:41] <g0th> I am back
[14:42] <nwavrant> who knows how i can do to crash my ubuntu 10.11
[14:42] <nwavrant> ?
[14:42] <usalabs> bekks, that is what NAT loopback is for, I have spoken to a network specialist and he said as long as NAT loopback is enabled, even using a domain name inside the LAN can be used to test a server running behind a router, but he couldn't figure out why my WAN IP was being redirected from outside the router to my LAN IP
[14:42] <g0th> I just installed ubuntu-desktop, I got to choose between kdm and lightdm, I selected lightdm, when I restarted my system the graphical interface didn't start so I manually stopped lightdm and started kdm
[14:42] <g0th> any idea why lightdm is not working?
[14:42] <pfifo> bekks, usalabs, you could use an open proxy to test
[14:42] <wolfi_> bekks: Thank you for your help ! :) This is for you: http://planetoddity.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/beer.jpg
[14:42] <dr_willis> g0th:  from the console, you could run 'sudo lightdm' and look for errors.
[14:43] <g0th> ok I try
[14:43] <usalabs> pfifo I'll try a proxy to see what happens, brb
[14:43] <bekks> usalabs: Your "network specialist" did tell you - something, but nothing what would be working. Being in your home LAN, you CANNOT test a outside connection, because you are NOT outside your LAN, but inside it. There are ways like NAT and loopback to simulate this behaviour, but thats not a valid test if something weird is happening.
[14:46] <Lobosque> hello, I'd like to know what exactly happens when i press ctrl+z in a process running in the terminal. it is stoped and transfered to the background?
[14:47] <dr_willis> Lobosque:  you may want to read up on 'bash job controll' to learn what its doing.
[14:47] <SeeIt> Lobo: No, the process is paused
[14:47] <dr_willis> thats the basics of what its doing yes.. going to the background. bg and fg work together.
[14:47] <g0th> ok, solved the lightdm problem
[14:47] <Lobosque> SeeIt but when it is paused I can use the terminal again. this means the process is transfered to the background?
[14:47] <pfifo> Lobosque, it stops, use `bg` after a C^z to send to background
[14:48] <dr_willis> Lobosque:  also check the jobs command.
[14:48] <g0th> how do I configure the panels/desktops/etc in unity (I think I run unity now, not sure)?
[14:48] <SeeIt> You can use the terminal, but the process doesnt run
[14:48] <Lobosque> so I can have more than one process in the foreground, as long as they are stopped?
[14:48] <dr_willis> g0th:  the webupd8 blog site has some good docks on tweaking unity.
[14:48] <g465> how can i hack wifi password
[14:48] <SeeIt> The kernel scheduler doesnt grant cpu cycles to a paused process
[14:48] <SeeIt> A background process gets cpu cycles in the background
[14:48] <dr_willis> g0th:  the askubuntu.com site has lists of indicator applets, and quicklists also.. and lenses.
[14:48] <SeeIt> They are different
[14:48] <dr_willis> bbl
[14:49] <g0th> I am looking for very basic configurations
[14:49] <bc81> hello.  i have split a file using a script (http://superuser.com/questions/177823/are-there-any-tools-in-linux-for-splitting-a-file-in-place) but now i can't figure out how to put it back together.. any hints?
[14:49] <g0th> e.g. I prefer the panel on the bottom side
[14:49] <g0th> and I dont need a desktop manager
[14:50] <g0th> also I would like to change the keyboard shortcuts
[14:50] <pfifo> bc81, `cat part1 >> output` `cat part2 >> output` and so on
[14:50] <SeeIt> @bc81: Use cat file1 file2 > combined_file
[14:50] <Lobosque> SeeIt and how do I resume a paused process?
[14:50] <bc81> ok, i will try that.  thanks guys!
[14:50] <pfifo> Lobosque, `fg`
[14:50] <g0th> I checked the webupd8 site but it mostly seems to be about some extensions/addons that I dont need
[14:50] <SeeIt> You can resume with fg or bg
[14:51] <SeeIt> for fg == foreground and bg == background
[14:51] <reyazbot> Hii.. how do we use the windows key+D to show desktop??
[14:52] <g0th> e.g. where can I change the behaviour of the window manager
[14:52] <Lobosque> I started three xeyes and paused each of them. when I type "jobs", one has a "-" in front of the ID and other has a "+". What does it mean?
[14:52] <g0th> like how desktop switching looks like etc...
[14:52] <reyazbot> If anyone know how to assign WinKey+D to use it for show desktop please let me know
[14:52] <BluesKaj> reyazbot, how do mean show desktop ?
[14:53] <reyazbot> i meant to minimize all windows
[14:53] <reyazbot> with the shortcut comb we have in windows OS
[14:53] <reyazbot> i found that option in earlier ubuntu dist but in 10.04 i am lost
[14:53] <macs> my DVD drive is not working on my ubuntu machine
[14:54] <reyazbot> searching for show desktop option in keyboard shortcuts
[14:54] <BluesKaj> reyazbot, i just switch desktops
[14:54] <pfifo> odd, i didnt expect win+d to minimize, but it just worked in lubuntu
[14:54] <wolfi_> dr_willis: I still can't execute the file :( see: http://imagebin.org/183781 can you help ?
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> macs: can you expand on "not working please"
[14:55] <macs> when i put a blank DVD into my DVD drive nothing happens
[14:55] <reyazbot> yeah but it used to work in ubuntu earlier ver, not now...
[14:55] <macs> does not even detect it.
[14:55] <bc81> reyazbot what ubuntu version?
[14:55] <reyazbot> got it.
[14:55] <g0th> how do I configure the ubuntu-desktop?
[14:55] <reyazbot> its string name is changed in 10.04
[14:55] <ikonia> it auto configures
[14:55] <ikonia> g0th: it' a meta package
[14:55] <reyazbot> its in the list of keyboard shortcuts
[14:55] <g0th> e.g. I want 6 desktops with one row, I would like to have only one panel at the bottom of the screen
[14:55] <reyazbot> its default is ctr+alt+D
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> macs: does: dmesg | tail   show anything?
[14:56] <g0th> I would like to specify how window and desktop switching looks
[14:56] <reyazbot> i can change it to win+D to imitate windows os
[14:56] <ikonia> g0th: read the unity documentation
[14:56] <g0th> etc...
[14:56] <bullgard4> dr_willis: I have done what you said. Now user 'abc' will see a rxvt-unicode window after having logged in. --  Thank you very much for your help.
[14:56] <macs> ActionParsnip, yes
[14:56] <ikonia> g0th: it will explain what is/is not possible
[14:56] <ikonia> g0th: there are limitations
[14:56] <g0th> is there a more sophisticated window manager?
[14:56] <reyazbot> mine is 10.04 UE
[14:57] <g0th> where I can make more changes
[14:57] <ikonia> g0th: what do you mean more sophisticated ?
[14:57] <ikonia> g0th: I thought you where just using it to recover your system,
[14:57] <g0th> oh about that :)
[14:57] <g0th> I am very happy now
[14:57] <reyazbot> 1 more thing guys, scroll on the wallpaper used to change the workspace.. but after upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 it isnt... any guess how to restore it..
[14:57] <ikonia> wow, you've gone from the end of the world to happy in about 60 minutes
[14:57] <g0th> I installed ubuntu-desktop and every issue vannished except for the apt issue
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> macs: anything relating to a DVD insertion?
[14:58] <macs> Nope.
[14:58] <ikonia> g0th: there is no apt issue
[14:58] <bekks> g0th: Which apt issue?
[14:58] <g0th> so now I try to live with ubuntu-desktop for the time beeing
[14:58] <macs> Only network stuff.
[14:58] <ikonia> g0th: I thought we have discovered this, there was no problem with apt
[14:58] <g0th> gimp-plugin-registry is always trying to be installed by apt
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> ikonia: strange day huh
[14:58] <g0th> even though I remove it
[14:58] <ikonia> it's just stupid
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> !info  gimp-plugin-registry
[14:58] <g0th> almost every package is listed twice
[14:58] <ikonia> go^: NO
[14:58] <ikonia> g0th: bo
[14:58] <ikonia> no
[14:58] <ikonia> apt is NOT listing every package, that was aptitude
[14:59] <g0th> and apt seems to be incapable of forgetting new packages
[14:59] <ikonia> g0th: stop mixing up problems to make new ones
[14:59] <g0th> aptitude ok
[14:59] <ikonia> apt is working fine -
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> g0th: comment out the gimp repo you have added, close the text editor and run:  sudo apt-get clean; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install  gimp-plugin-registry
[14:59] <macs> ActionParsnip, Not even my Ubuntu DVD works.
[14:59] <g0th> but apt also fails to not install gimp-...
[14:59] <g0th> I already did that
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> macs: what does dmesg say, use a pastebin for multiple lines
[14:59] <g0th> ActionParsnip: yeah I tried that it is not working
[14:59] <theborger> ok well not pulseaudio will not start
[14:59] <ikonia> g0th: please show me the error it produces when it trys to install this package that does not go away
[14:59] <bekks> !explain | g0th
[14:59] <bekks> hmm.
[15:00] <theborger> all i get is Daemon starup failed
[15:00] <bekks> !details | g0th
[15:00] <macs> http://pastie.org/private/dluwknfxjrpc7oqwnghrw
[15:00] <zykotick9> bekks, !details or !notworking - you found details ;)
[15:00] <bekks> :P
[15:00] <g0th> http://pastebin.com/HyXQ8gHY
[15:01] <g0th> I was just answering ikonia's question
[15:01] <bekks> g0th: line 13.
[15:01] <bekks> g0th: Are you installing gimp from some PPA?
[15:01] <ikonia> g0th: it's trying to install it because you're typing "apt-get install"
[15:01] <Pavilliox> Guys I'm having serious PulseAudio issues, my hardware isnt even listed anymore
[15:01] <g0th> no
[15:01] <g0th> I removed all other repo entries
[15:01] <ikonia> sudo apt-get install gimp-plugin-registry
[15:01] <ikonia> you typed that
[15:01] <ikonia> it will course install gimp-plugin-registry
[15:01] <bekks> g0th: I do think so... "which is also in package gimp 2.7.4-2011102201~oo"
[15:02] <bekks> That isnt a ubuntu repo package. So delete it.
[15:02] <dr_willis> You did do a 'sudo apt-get update' after removing all the repo entries?
[15:02] <ikonia> g0th: if you read the error, it's picking up a failed installation from cache, remove those files
[15:02] <g0th> 15:59 < ikonia> g0th: please show me the error it produces when it trys to install this package that does  not go away
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> g0th: can you pastebin the output of ikonia's command pleas
[15:02] <bekks> g0th: Did you read what I wrote?
[15:02] <theborger> pulseaudio --start
[15:02] <theborger> E: main.c: Daemon startup failed.
[15:02] <theborger> anyone lend a hand with this?
[15:02] <ikonia> this is crazy
[15:02] <ikonia> g0th: you said it keeps trying to install that package - of course it does if you type apt-get install gimp-plugin-registry
[15:03] <ikonia> g0th: either way, remove the cache then re-run ActionParsnip's suggestion
[15:03] <g0th> bekks: I answered your question
[15:03] <macs> ActionParsnip, http://pastie.org/private/dluwknfxjrpc7oqwnghrw and my DVD/CD drive is TSSTcorp CDRWDVD TS-H492C
[15:03] <bekks> I'd suggest removing the PPA package and use gimp from the ubuntu repos.
[15:03] <g0th> bekks: I removed all other repositories
[15:03] <dr_willis> looks almost like theres 2 differnt gimps its wanting..
[15:03] <dr_willis> g0th:  you did a 'sudo apt-get update' after removing them?
[15:03] <bekks> g0th: Then try to explain why you have a non ubuntu package installed.
[15:03] <ikonia> remove the cache files
[15:04] <g0th> yes I did apt-get update
[15:04] <bekks> ikonia: The cache files are not interesting at that point.
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> g0th: can you pastebin the output of ikonia's command please
[15:04] <bekks> The packages he wants to install collides with a non ubuntu repo package.
[15:04] <ikonia> bekks: they are, he's removed the repos, it's trying to re-start a failed instrall
[15:04] <g0th> I am still trying to find it
[15:04] <ikonia> remove the cache files, comment out the ppa's in the source
[15:04] <ikonia> however I suspect the PPA's already messed up the dependencies
[15:04] <Pavilliox> No-one have any idea why PulseAudio isnt detecting my hard ware?
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> macs: and that is after the CD has span up
[15:05] <bekks> OF COURSE it fails again, because removing a PPA does NOT purge all packages from that PPA.
[15:05] <rahmat> some body can help me,,i'm new in ubuntu
[15:05] <dr_willis> bbl
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> rahmat: ask away
[15:05] <g0th> what is the command I am supposed to run?
[15:05] <macs> ActionParsnip, i dont understand
[15:05] <g0th> I dont find it above
[15:06] <bekks> g0th: Uninstall that package, then reinstall gimp from the ubutu repos.
[15:06] <roscarv> yeah
[15:06] <bekks> Your error will be gone then.
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> macs: is that pastebin the output of dmesg AFTER you put a disk in and let it spin?
[15:06] <rahmat> ActionParsnip : u know about lam/mpi
[15:06] <g0th> the package is already uninstalled
[15:06] <bekks> g0th: Which package?
[15:06] <g0th> I already reinstalled gimp
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> g0th: 15:0215:02   ikonia: sudo apt-get install gimp-plugin-registry
[15:06] <g0th> gimp-plugin-registry
[15:07] <g0th> ActionParsnip: I already did that way back and also provided the link
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> rahmat: not much, sorry
[15:07] <macs> ActionParsnip, the distk was in when i pasted that
[15:07] <bekks> g0th: Then please show us the output of apt-cache policy gimp in a nopaste please.
[15:07] <ikonia> this is a waste of time, he doesn't listen.
[15:07] <ikonia> good luck guys
[15:07] <bekks> ikonia: thanks. thats my last try too ;)
[15:07] <rahmat> ActionParsnip : if mipch2????
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> g0th: sudo dpkg --force-all -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gimp-plugin-registry_3.5.4-1_amd64.deb
[15:08] <bekks> DONT run that command.
[15:08] <g0th> one thing at a time
[15:08] <bekks> g0th: Listen to me.
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> g0th: /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/file-xmc is in 2 packages and the OS doesn't like that. I suggest you report a bug
[15:08] <g0th> I know linux basics
[15:08] <g0th> I use it since 2.0.something
[15:08] <bekks> g0th: Show me the output of the apt-cache policy gimp command.
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> g0th: the command I gave with make it not care
[15:09] <ikonia> g0th: then you shouldn't be this sloppy, so don't give me this been using linux for ages
[15:09] <sinjax> So, I'm more problems with 11.04, this time it is the HDMI sound on my Asus EB1501
[15:09] <arleslie> hey guys having a strange issue
[15:09] <g0th> http://pastebin.com/icmsaZqs
[15:10] <bekks> Thats still not an ubuntu repo package.
[15:10] <macs> ActionParsnip, the disk drive is not even spinning.
[15:10] <arleslie> im running windows 7 and trying to dual boot with ubuntu. but every time I install grub, the win7 bootloader pops up
[15:10] <ironfoot495> hello I'm having a problem with screen. I can see the screen using 19inch but my 42 inch is not showing unless I start with my 19 and remove it and replace it with the 42 inch
[15:10] <g0th> I did apt-get install --reinstall gimp and I removed all other ppas
[15:10] <g0th> hmm
[15:10] <ikonia> arleslie: probably installed to the wrong disk, or to a partition instead of the master boot record
[15:10] <g0th> can I force ubuntu to install all packages from the repo avaiable?
[15:11] <bekks> g0th: Obviously at least one PPA is left.
[15:11] <arleslie> I installed it to a partition
[15:11] <bekks> g0th: That wont help.
[15:11] <ironfoot495> but the picture has black on the left side can I get some help with this???
[15:11] <g0th> because this is like a chain reaction a lot of packages seem to be not available now
[15:11] <BluesKaj> ironfoot495, what kind of connection to the tv ?
[15:11] <ironfoot495> vga
[15:11] <bekks> g0th: Thats your "problem" then, if you are using packages from PPAs ;)
[15:11] <arleslie>  *ubuntu to a partition and grub to two different hdds
[15:11] <g0th> bekks: I renamed the .list files to .list.old and removed everything additional in sources.list
[15:11] <Nalleman> Ahhh. my printer dont work and I have to print som tickets for tonight. Could someone give me a hand?
[15:12] <g0th> I try to fix gimp manually
[15:12] <bekks> g0th: At least one PPA is left over, as you can see, too.
[15:12] <BluesKaj> 42" tv has a vga ironfoot495 ..is this an older tv?
[15:12] <ironfoot495> I've looked at all the stuff concerning xrandr but having a problem putting it all together
[15:12] <ironfoot495> it's a lcd sreen
[15:12] <g0th> no it is not
[15:12] <ironfoot495> screen
[15:12] <g0th> the problem is that even though I removed the ppa it seems to prefer the currently installed software
[15:13] <zykotick9> g0th, i don't think PPAs are in sources.list - i believe they might be in the directory sources.d perhaps?  there is some ppa-purge script/command out there.
[15:13] <pfifo> arleslie, is your computer using uefi?
[15:13] <g0th> yes I renamed all in sources.list.d
[15:13] <ironfoot495> it just wont boot using the 42 inch lcd screen
[15:13] <arleslie> pfifo, uefi?
[15:13] <g0th> is there a way to switch package versions to available packages?
[15:13] <kuchiku> anyone know why my gateway is <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:13] <pangolin> g0th: renaming those entries in sources.list.d to .old doesn't disable them it causes errors
[15:13] <BluesKaj> ironfoot495, that size tv should have a hdmi connection for best results
[15:13] <g0th> it also disables them
[15:13] <bekks> g0th: Yes. It preferres the currently installed software. You have to purge it and reinstall it from the ubuntu repos. ALL of the software you installed from PPA.
[15:14] <arleslie> ironfoot495, have you tried switching ports on your graphics card?
[15:14] <g0th> purging it removes like 100 packages
[15:14] <pfifo> arleslie, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface
[15:14] <bekks> g0th: and?
[15:14] <ironfoot495> oh okwell I just have the vga if that's what you mean???
[15:14] <g0th> Isn't it better to manually select the other version?
[15:14] <g0th> then I dont remove 100 other packages
[15:14] <pangolin> g0th:  I have seen you asking for help and 3 people who know what they are doing try to help and you not listen. good luck.
[15:14] <bekks> g0th: Then do it. It will break dependencies most likely.
[15:15] <reyazbot> anybody interested in bluetooth related talk??
[15:15] <g0th> pangolin: I am listening to everything, don't worry
[15:15] <g0th> bekks: yes I am doing it right now, give me some time
[15:15] <bekks> g0th: You arent. I am not going to tell you again what to do. And I am not going to discuss it.
[15:15] <g0th> it is like 50 broken dependencies I have to fix
[15:15] <bullgard4> [Ubuntu 11.10 GNOME Shell 3.2] Why does the tooltip "URxvt" of the rxvt-unicode program icon show the second letter capitalized?
[15:15] <reyazbot> i was trying to get my phone with a2dp go hand in hand with my kubuntu..
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> g0th: did the package install ok?
[15:16] <kuchiku> in ubuntu and linux nothing is intuitive
[15:16] <g0th> need some time
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> kuchiku: you'll find it is, just try. Take off your windows hat first
[15:16] <arleslie> pfifo, I don't know
[15:17] <g0th> all right, it works now
[15:17] <bekks> ActionParsnip: No, it didnt. He is currently cleaning up his system from PPA packages left over causing dependency breakage.
[15:17] <theborger> anyone help with audio issues?
[15:17] <g0th> gimp-plugin issue was solved, the cause was a problem with the ppa
[15:18] <bekks> g0th: Not "with a PPA", but "becaus I used a PPA."
[15:18] <g0th> Is there a way to list all packages that have been installed from ppa?
[15:18] <bullgard4> !sound | theborger
[15:18] <kuchiku> actionparsnip , i tried , for example installing a network manager wont connect you to internet
[15:18] <g0th> bekks: are you trying to annoy me with those remarks?
[15:18] <bekks> g0th: No.
[15:18] <BluesKaj> ironfoot495, maybe your graphics driver/card doesn't support the tv's required resolution at boot ..dunno what esle to suggest except a graphicd card with dvi/hdmi output
[15:18] <g0th> so about unity
[15:19] <Pavilliox> Anyone know how to reinstall the PulseAudio indicator applet?
[15:19] <g0th> is there some main configuration tool?
[15:19] <g0th> also I didn't find the keychain thing
[15:19] <theborger> bullgard4: that is not the issue, i cant get also 1.0.24 to install for my hdmi video card, after i updated ubuntu
[15:19] <g0th> to backup my home
[15:19] <kuchiku> after using the pon dsl....command to start internet connection , network manager wont work
[15:19] <bullgard4> Pavilliox: What is you desktop environment and distribution release?
[15:19] <xangua> Pavilliox: install the metapackage ubuntu-desktop and should reinstall all default packages
[15:20] <Pavilliox> xangua: Thanks
[15:20] <kuchiku> wont work forever
[15:20] <kuchiku> ever , ever
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> kuchiku: the network manager uses the drivers installed. Simply having a network manager app doesn't automatically get you web access
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> kuchiku: just like Windows, you already have a wifi manager in the OS, doesn't mean you don't need to install wifi drivers
[15:21] <yeats> kuchiku: you can't use pon/poff *and* use network manager to manage your connection - it's either/or
[15:21] <dwon> Since I installed oneiric, whenever I try to use "see foo.pdf", it says: 'Error: no "view" mailcap rules found for type "application/pdf"', even though evince is installed.
[15:21] <kuchiku> and using network manger to connect to internet , if your conenction drop for like 5 times then network manager wont work again and required a system restart
[15:21] <g0th> never mind google helped, I need to use the ccsm
[15:21] <zykotick9> Pavilliox, you may / or may not need to use "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop" to replace any missing config files.  Good luck.
[15:21] <roscarv> use *get-apt
[15:22] <ikonia> g0th: ccsm is nothing to do with your problem
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> kuchiku: then I'd look at why it drops, sounds like an issue there
[15:23] <g0th> according to ubuntu helper forum it does
[15:23] <bekks> g0th: Unity isnt compiz. ccsm is a tool for compiz, not for unity.
[15:23] <bekks> g0th: Then that form entry is wrong.
[15:23] <ikonia> g0th: again....start listening to what people are telling
[15:23] <g0th> so you tell me not to go read online documentions, ok
[15:23] <kuchiku> yeats that's the problem why can't network manager wont work since it is an app for that
[15:23] <ikonia> I totally give up now
[15:23] <zykotick9> bekks, actually, i think some unity setting are in ccsm
[15:23] <bekks> g0th: Who said that?
[15:24] <g0th> http://askubuntu.com/questions/29553/how-can-i-configure-unity/62903#62903
[15:24] <bekks> g0th: If you refuse to listen to people and just do what you want, I am giving up, too. Good luck.
[15:24] <ikonia> why are you even looking at configuring unity at this time ? wait until you have solved all your root isssues
[15:24] <g0th> some people just make up their mind about someone and from that point on, they only see the negative side
[15:24] <ikonia> g0th: fix the packge issues,
[15:25] <g0th> you refuse to listen
[15:25] <ikonia> g0th: we are seeing negative as you are being told what you need to do and constatly looking for ways/reasons not to do it
[15:25] <ikonia> g0th: fully listening,
[15:25] <g0th> I am doing all you tell me, all I get are complains
[15:25] <ikonia> g0th: because you're not doing what you're being advised
[15:25] <g0th> give an example
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> kuchiku: When it drops, run:  dmesg | tail    may tell you what is going on
[15:25] <yeats> kuchiku: right click the NetworkManager applet -> VPN Connections -> Configure VPN - then try and add the connection there
[15:25] <g0th> I hate to do this "right" "wrong" discussion
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> kuchiku: disabling ipv6 if you don't use it can help
[15:25] <bekks> g0th: Then stop it.
[15:25] <g0th> they only infuse the flame and are not helping but anyway
[15:25] <ikonia> I'm not going through the logs to give you examples, the fact that people keep saying "do what you are told" suggests that you are not
[15:25] <xangua> g0th: what package issues'¿
[15:25] <g0th> you start it all the time
[15:26] <charminthemoose> Can anyone recommend an app that lets you cycle through windows, if the window manager doesn't provide such functionality?
[15:26] <g0th> the gimp package issue was resolved as I already said, I am not sure what he meant
[15:26] <kuchiku> actionparnip , the connection drop is bcos of bad weather and something like that but the network manager should not stop working after afew time of disconnection
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> kuchiku: then try wicd or wifi-radar
[15:26] <bonhoffer> why doesn't ls -d give me directories like the man page says
[15:27] <g0th> the main issue now is to get a useable desktop or at least to figure out how to save my home encryption stuff
[15:27] <g0th> ccms seems to be the right tool
[15:27] <ikonia> its not
[15:27] <claudiuvlad> hello, everybody
[15:27] <g0th> ok what else then?
[15:27] <ikonia> that is for compiz
[15:27] <ikonia> good luck
[15:27] <kuchiku> it's not a wireless actionparsnip
[15:27] <g0th> now you are just flaming again
[15:27] <ikonia> no
[15:28] <claudiuvlad> after playing with rsync, I have a bunch of files which cannot be deleted
[15:28] <g0th> those comments are not helping
[15:28] <g0th> they are hurting and wasting my time
[15:28] <ikonia> I've just stopped you using the wrong tool ?
[15:28] <ikonia> that is helping
[15:28] <g0th> you basically said: No, you're lost, fuck off
[15:28] <xangua> ikonia: so the unity plugin in compiz setting configuration tool, is not to configure unity¿
[15:28] <kuchiku> now i'm using the pon/poff to connect to internet so the network manager wont work
[15:28] <ikonia> g0th: tone down the langauge
[15:28] <g0th> so yeah nice help
[15:28] <yeats> claudiuvlad: can you provide details?  define "playing with rsync"?  any error messages?
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> g0th: what is the current issue?
[15:28] <g0th> back at you
[15:29] <ikonia> g0th: I'm not using bad language - so don't be silly
[15:29] <bonhoffer> so i'll ask how to get a ls for directories only (if ls -d doesn't do it)
[15:29] <kuchiku> how if i want to stop the pon/poff method and start using the network manager again ?
[15:29] <g0th> you are extremely rude
[15:29] <ikonia> xangua: it won't change the desktop, just the unity compiz interface
[15:29] <claudiuvlad> yeats:  look here  - the output of ls http://paste.ubuntu.com/736299/
[15:29] <g0th> you would never talk to someone like that in real world
[15:29] <theborger> is there a way to uninstall all updates? so it rolls back?
[15:29] <ikonia> g0th: I do, but I'd never have to as people normally listen
[15:29] <JoeSomebody> if one buys home support does it come with any extra docs, etc. also, is it telephone support, remote asistance support or what exactly, i found where we can buy it but there is no description of what we get, anyone a good link?
[15:29] <g0th> again
[15:29] <g0th> you are not helping
[15:29] <g0th> I will not respond to those comments anymore
[15:30] <ikonia> g0th: I'm responding to your comments, what do you expect ?
[15:30] <g0th> maybe it is better if you stay out of it
[15:30] <xangua> JoeSomebody: canonical.com
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> g0th: will you answer my civil question please
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> g0th: maybe I can help
[15:30] <ikonia> JoeSomebody: the canonical support package contains all the info you want
[15:30] <g0th> thanks for the help so far ikonia but please don't help anymore
[15:30] <g0th> sorry ActionParsnip
[15:30] <ssta> bonhoffer: find . -maxdepth 1 -type d
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> g0th: last time, what is currently your issue??
[15:31] <kuchiku> LOL ........... until linux get the user friendly right else they will be fight in all linux chatroom ...........
[15:31] <theborger> is there a way to uninstall all updates? so it rolls back?
[15:31] <yeats> claudiuvlad: whoa - I've not seen that happen before.  Can you share the commands you entered that got you to this situation?
[15:31] <g0th> the issue at the top of the list are two: first I would like to be able to recover my home after I reinstall my system. Currently I use unity/lightdm/ubuntu-desktop
[15:31] <edbian> theborger: no :(
[15:31] <g0th> the second is to configure unity, the net had some remarks about using ccsm to configure it
[15:31] <JoeSomebody> ikonia, ok thanks, i am not rich, perhaps over cautious
[15:31] <claudiuvlad> yeats: whoa thats what I said...  It was a rsync from that folder to a samba share
[15:31] <ikonia> JoeSomebody: nothing wrong with that
[15:32] <theborger> well then i guess it would be easier to just reinstall this damn thing
[15:32] <xangua> g0th: for your hoome, make a backup
[15:32] <markskilbeck> Has anyone had problems with Empathy and MSN?
[15:32] <theborger> 4 hours of work down the drain
[15:32] <g0th> xangua: it is 1-2 TB
[15:32] <claudiuvlad> yeats: this is the command  rsync -av --delete --delete-after --delete-excluded /root/.cache/duplicity/  /media/sambaa/setari_duplicity/
[15:32] <g0th> xangua: it is a separate partition so in that way it is already ok
[15:32] <g0th> xangua: my backup NAS will arrive in about 4 weeks until then I cannot backup
[15:33] <bullgard4> 'man 1 rxvt-unicode': "OPTIONS > -geometry geom: Window geometry; resource geometry." How to use this information? How can I set width and hight and position of a rxvt-unicode window?
[15:33] <bullgard4> s/hight/height/
[15:33] <xangua> g0th: you have your home in another partition¿ if yes then you can reinstall without issues if you tell the installer to use that partition as home
[15:33] <noodle> ehhh hey
[15:33] <g0th> no I cannot
[15:33] <g0th> because it is encrypted
[15:34] <bekks> Store the ackup unencrypted then.
[15:34] <bekks> backup even.
[15:34] <SeeIt> If I have a virtual machine with roo-ssh access and a desktop enviroment, is it possible to execute commands on the users desktop?

[15:34] <FloodBot1> cromag: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> g0th: do you use encrypted file system?
[15:34] <SeeIt> If I type in gnome-terminal --execute echo "hi"
[15:34] <g0th> encrypted home directory
[15:34] <pfifo> goth: in that case copy your /etc/cryptfs to a safe place, you can then set it up manually after installing
[15:35] <cromag> sorry about that.
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> g0th: yes, is the home directory encrypted?
[15:35] <SeeIt> i want it to show that to the logged in user of the system
[15:35] <g0th> I guess so
[15:35] <wolfi_> Hi. Again :( I cant start ./fwupd. Why ? See: http://imagebin.org/183781
[15:35] <claudiuvlad> yeats: can you give me an idea ?  I cannot remove those files, also cannot ls/file them
[15:35] <_calum> which repository is Flash player in?
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> g0th: it either is or it isn't. Its a concious decision at install to encrypt at install. if you didn't set it then it is not encrypted
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> g0th: so, is it encrypted or not?
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> _calum: partner
[15:36] <pfifo> !info flashplugin-nonfree
[15:36] <g0th> yes I selected encrypted home directory
[15:36] <g0th> I am not sure if it is at the fs level or not
[15:36] <_calum> ActionParsnip:Thankyou so much. Can I find it in software sources?
[15:36] <xangua> !partner | _calum for 32 and 64bit
[15:37] <yeats> claudiuvlad: aside from thinking that the rsync command you used looks dangerous with all the --delete options, I don't have much help to offer
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> _calum: yes, or you can uncomment the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list   either is fine
[15:37] <yeats> claudiuvlad: maybe someone else will be able to help?
[15:37] <xangua> it's adobe-flashplugin package on partner _calum pfifo
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> g0th: ah, i have zero experience of encrypted file systems.
[15:37] <claudiuvlad> yeats: thanks anyway,  glad to meet such a great poet :P
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> g0th: too much headache
[15:37] <bonhoffer> ssta, thanks!
[15:37] <yeats> claudiuvlad: heh - just a fan of the poet ;-)
[15:37] <_calum> thanks for the help
[15:38] <pfifo> xangua, ahh, im using 10.04 and its flashplugin-nonfree
[15:38] <SeeIt> If I have a virtual machine with root ssh access and a desktop enviroment, is it possible to execute commands on the users desktop? I want to type in xclock from the outside via ssh and the physical user of the system should see that.
[15:38] <noodle> what irc client do you guys use?
[15:38] <xangua> pfifo: it is also on partner for lucid, and it has this flash configuration tool also ;)
[15:38] <claudiuvlad> hello, I need some help please - with non deletable files on ext4
[15:38] <bullgard4> noodle: I am using Chatzilla.
[15:39] <pfifo> claudiuvlad, try running a filesystem check
[15:39] <noodle> bullgard: how do you like it?
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> SeeIt: sure, just run:  export DISPLAY=0.0   then graphical apps you run will appear on the desktop. I suggest you add an ampersand at the end of the command so you get the terminal back
[15:39] <loconut> is the partner archive down this AM?
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> noodle: irssi and pidgin
[15:40] <noodle> anyone ever try smuxi?
[15:40] <bekks> SeeIt: Then you have to do something like su - username; set DISPLAY=asneeded_lookitup, and then the user should see th xclock.
[15:40] <yeats> claudiuvlad: actually, what pfifo recommends is a good next step
[15:40] <bullgard4> noodle: I like it best. I am using irssi also but less frequently. Chatzilla allows me to change the configuration more easily (user-friendly).
[15:40] <valsabi> help
[15:40] <claudiuvlad> pfifo, I will do that
[15:40] <loconut> Unable to connect to archive.canonical.com:
[15:40] <bekks> !details | valsabi
[15:41] <SeeIt> Thanks, where can I read about the display numbers
[15:41] <claudiuvlad> pfifo, can I do a fsck without restarting ? its about the root partition
[15:41] <SeeIt> ?
[15:41] <pfifo> claudiuvlad, NO, never run a filesystem check on a mounted partition
[15:41] <noodle> bullgard: cool, i'll have to check out chatzilla. i'm using smuxi right now and it's starting to grow on me. i'm normally on irssi myself.
[15:41] <valsabi> oh... i having a fuji xerox docuprint m205 b printer.
[15:41] <SeeIt> It looks like ssh -X creates its own display
[15:41] <valsabi> where to get the driver ?
[15:41] <g0th> about the configuration of unity
[15:41] <g0th> it seems that compiz and unity somehow work together
[15:41] <bekks> SeeIt: No. It just forwards X request to the clients X server.
[15:42] <bullgard4> noodle: Good luck and enjoy ubuntu!
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> valsabi: have you checked the xerox site for a driver
[15:42] <g0th> the settings from unity affected the settings in compiz (ccsm) and the ccsm settings affected the settings in unity
[15:42] <roscarv> you can go to driver.pl.com
[15:42] <sinjax> so bit of a starter question, but i hardly ever interact with X these days, so tell me, say I need to run the command "comvis --replace" after a user has logged in
[15:42] <sinjax> how would I go about doing that? is there an equivalent of .profile?
[15:42] <valsabi> i have a problem to getting printer driver for fuji xerox model DocuPrint m205 b .
[15:42] <SeeIt> Yeah, it forwardes X to the ssh-client
[15:43] <SeeIt> but I think it creates a display enviroment varaible
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> sinjax: there is a startup manager app in dash, you can make a command run there
[15:43] <evaristo> !list
[15:43] <bekks> SeeIt: Thats different from "it creates its own display".
[15:43] <glda19> how can i share a folder on my external hd by samba
[15:43] <valsabi> xerox website don't have driver for ubuntu
[15:43] <milen8204> dr_willis, I have written a script http://pastebin.com/25KE5rg5 but can set it up on Ubuntu 11.10
[15:44] <cYmen_> I updated a machine and can't mount my encrypted /home anymore, cryptsetup says /dev/mapper/home is active but when I try to mount it all the superblocks seem to be corrupt. Does anybody know something about this?
[15:44] <bekks> valsabi: Try looking it up on www.linuxprinting.org
[15:44] <arleslie> Hey guys, having a few issues getting Grub installed, I installed Ubuntu to /dev/sdc3 and told it to use /dev/sdc for the bootloader, but it pops up with Windows7's bootloader so, I tried to install it on /dev/sdb just incase, but still having the issue. I can't install it on /dev/sda because it's GPT.
[15:44] <bekks> cYmen_: "seem to be corrupt"? Whats the detailed error message?
[15:44] <SeeIt> I guess a single PC can handle multiple displays; how can I find out about all active displays (physical and ssh forwarded)?
[15:45] <valsabi> This site is down for maintenance. We will be restoring service shortly. Thank you for your patience.
[15:45] <valsabi> The Linux Foundation
[15:45] <valsabi> the www.linuxprinting.org is close now.
[15:45] <noodle> don't you hate it when you're logged onto your botnet on IRC and some idiot comes on and tries to hassle you?
[15:45] <cYmen_> bekks: The error message is "Unrecognized mount option "<charactermess>" or missing value [...] bad option, bad superblock
[15:46] <PastorBones> The latest update for Flash broke my vids...how can I revert that update?
[15:46] <glda19> how can  i share a directory on  a external hd by samba

[15:49] <bullgard4> 'man 1 rxvt-unicode': "OPTIONS > -geometry geom: Window geometry; resource geometry." How to use this information? How can I set width and hight and position of a rxvt-unicode window?
[15:52] <pfifo> bullgard4, check this http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XWindow-User-HOWTO/cli.html
[15:53] <pfifo> cYmen_, what command are you using to setup the mapper?
[15:54] <Adamantus12345> Hi
[15:54] <cYmen_> pfifo: was setup by ubuntu on boot
[15:54] <pfifo> cYmen_, can you paste your /etc/crypttab
[15:54] <Adamantus12345> I'm just trying to get Notepad++ on to Ubuntu 11, it doesn't show up on software centre
[15:55] <cYmen_> pfifo: It's dead boring: home /dev/sda3 none none
[15:55] <pfifo> cYmen_, thats in your /etc/crypttab?
[15:56] <cYmen_> yeah
[15:57] <PastorBones> stupid flash update
[15:57] <pfifo> cYmen_, run this `sudo cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3 test` and then `mount /dev/mapper/test /mnt`
[15:57] <glda19> ho can help me to share a direcrtory on a external hd by samba in ubuntu
[15:57] <pfifo> cYmen_, sudo on both thos actually
[15:58] <cYmen_> Device /dev/sda3 is not a valid LUKS device.
[15:59] <spacebug-> glda19: same way you would do with a non external disk
[16:00] <glda19> spacebug i have no access to the directory
[16:01] <spacebug-> glda19: what do you mean?
[16:01] <roscarv> yAH JUST LIKE THAT
[16:01] <Crazy> hello,everyone , i'm use wubi install ubuntu10.10 under the windows , and now i want to install gentoo , how can i configure my grub.conf to guide the ubuntu and windows 7
[16:01] <cYmen_> pfifo: I have no idea what's going on cryptsetup isLuks returns 0 for sda3...
[16:02] <xangua> Crazy i would suggest you to make an ubuntu real install ;)
[16:02] <pfifo> cYmen_, are you sure /dev/sda3 is the correct partition?
[16:02] <spacebug-> glda19: if you plug in the disk you are not able to browse it?
[16:02] <arrrghhh> hey all.  i went to install ubuntu on my new HP laptop - and it appears I can't create a partition?  am I limited to 4 primary partitions?
[16:02] <spacebug-> arrrghhh: yes
[16:03] <cYmen_> pfifo: No, is there any way to check except isLuks?
[16:03] <glda19> spacebug-, when i do that i can browse my hd on my ubuntu pc
[16:03] <pfifo> cYmen_, do a `sudo fdisk -l` you should be able to tell by the size of the partition
[16:03] <arrrghhh> spacebug-, what can i do?  it seems HP and Win7 have loaded this thing up with primary partitions...
[16:04] <cYmen_> pfifo: By the size of the partition?
[16:04] <Crazy> xangua: but i rellay don't want to reinstall the ubuntu
[16:04] <spacebug-> glda19: good. then you can do it. Where does it get mounted?
[16:04] <Crazy> xangua: i think it must have some method
[16:04] <h95> j/ #linuxac
[16:04] <glda19> spacebug-,  what did you mean
[16:04] <pfifo> cYmen_, I mean, you know your /home is so many gi9gabytes
[16:05] <spacebug-> arrrghhh: well, remove a partition and make a logical or something
[16:05] <arrrghhh> spacebug-, but that's the problem.  i remove a partition and i break something.  either i break recovery, or i break w7...  i'd rather not break either!
[16:05] <Crazy> xangua: i have google for a long time and i'm also don't have a good idea
[16:05] <spacebug-> glda19: samba does not care wether its a internal och external disk you just share a path
[16:05] <cYmen_> pfifo: Yeah, it's definitely right.
[16:05] <spacebug-> arrrghhh: well then you have a problem
[16:06] <cYmen_> There's only two partitions on this machine that are not windows or swap anyway...
[16:06] <arrrghhh> spacebug-, lol.  can i convert a partition to logical...?  or will that break it :/
[16:06] <cYmen_> uh...There are
[16:06] <jose> Hi, how i can know if my user have read permission over X file in bash?
[16:06] <bekks> jose: Please rephrase your question.
[16:06] <arrrghhh> jose, with a script or cli
[16:06] <spacebug-> arrrghhh: Not sure actually but I would not mess with recoverypartitions
[16:07] <pfifo> cYmen_, try mounting /dev/sda3 directly `sudo mount /dev/sda3 /mnt`
[16:07] <arrrghhh> spacebug-, agreed... i kinda like the concept.  i'd rather not ruin it.
[16:07] <raven> munin possible to use it without webinterface?
[16:07] <glda19> spacebug-, on my vista i see the directory but no access the path is un my vista \\ubuntu\muziek
[16:07] <jose> arrrrghh i want make a script
[16:07] <spacebug-> glda19: take a look at my smb.conf to get some hints http://pastebin.com/L6mB1kr2
[16:07] <arrrghhh> jose, this isn't the best room for that... isn't there a #bash room?
[16:08] <arrrghhh> jose, there is.
[16:08] <bekks> jose: And whats the problem?
[16:08] <jose> ok, sorry.
[16:08] <Crazy> can anyone help me/
[16:08] <bekks> Crazy: Whitout a detailed question - I guess no.
[16:09] <arrrghhh> hrm
[16:09] <arrrghhh> gonna try converting the hp_tools partition to logical.
[16:09] <arrrghhh> let's hope i don't ruin this thing.
[16:10] <cYmen_> pfifo: Says it needs the fs type...
[16:10] <raven> munin possible to use it without webinterface?
[16:10] <bullgard4> pfifo: In ~/config//autostart/rxvt.desktop I replaced 'Exec=rxvt-unicode' with 'Exec=rxvt-unicode -geometry 700 x 900 +0 +0'. Now my rxvt-unicode window does not appear any more automatically when logging in.
[16:11] <Crazy> bekks: my question is that i have installed ubuntu10.10 with wubi under the windows 7, and know i want to install the gentoo, how can i configure my grub.conf in the gentoo
[16:11] <bekks> Crazy: Thats not an ubuntu question then.
[16:12] <pfifo> cYmen_, well it appears it uses dm-crypt without LUKS, Im not as well practiced with this mode of operation, I suggest looking up a cryptsetup tutorial and trying different options in hops you can find one that works
[16:12] <bullgard4> s//config/.config/
[16:12] <Crazy> bekks: ok , i will solve it by myself
[16:13] <pfifo> bullgard4, try 'Exec=rxvt-unicode -geometry "700 x 900 +0 +0"'
[16:13] <glda19> spacebug-, normaly the i must have a the shares in smb.conf
[16:13] <cYmen_> pfifo: dm-crypt without luks? who's ever heard of something like that. :D
[16:13] <spacebug-> glda19: yes
[16:14] <glda19> space how can i make the shares with swat
[16:15] <spacebug-> haven't used SWAT in a long time. I know it says in that file it is created with SWAT but it is acually manuallay created/modified by me
[16:15] <pfifo> cYmen_, if you happen to have your old /etc/crypttab from an older install, you can use the info in it
[16:15] <raven> munin possible to use it without webinterface?
[16:16] <bekks> raven: No.
[16:16] <raven> bekks, what is a similar alternative?
[16:17] <glda19> spacebug-, how can i make a share by swat form samba
[16:17] <[TK]D-Fender> Hello all.  Running 11.11 and Empathy seems to be failing at 2 sites to log in to my MSN account.  Any current info on what the issue might be and ETA for a fix?
[16:17] <bullgard4> pfifo: Using 'Exec=rxvt-unicode -geometry "700 x 900 +0 +0"'brings back the window to my display screen but the window has the default size and position and not "700 x 900 +0 +0".
[16:18] <sinjax> Hey, I'm running compiz using compiz --replace on startup (figured out how to do that). Now I do a ps ax | egrep 'decorator' and I get two decorators running
[16:18] <dr_willis> i dont think you want spaces in that bullgard4
[16:18] <sinjax> compiz-decorator and unity-window-decorator
[16:18] <spacebug-> glda19: don't know
[16:18] <sinjax> I'm not sure, but I feel this might be causing my problems with windows dragging
[16:18] <sinjax> (i.e. i start dragging the window, and nothing moves until I stop drag ging)
[16:21] <raven> bekks, what is a similar alternative?
[16:23] <MagBo_> meowe
[16:24] <carlinm> hello fellas! iv just bought an ati hd6790, but ubuntu refuses to give me more than 1280x1024 resolution. On ati site theres no driver for linux on this board, and the ati drivers on synaptic are installed
[16:25] <bekks> raven: There is none, for console use.
[16:25] <soreau> carlinm: You should try the open radeon driver which was the default before you installed fglrx
[16:26] <jgrosch> hello, quick question. xubuntu 11.10 - I have added a user using adduser but when I "su - <user>" I get no dir found. any suggestions ?
[16:26] <carlinm> hmm. ill remove then soreau
[16:26] <bullgard4> dr_willis: 'Exec=rxvt-unicode -geometry "700x900+100+100"' produces a full-size window. (My display screen has 1680 x 1050 pixels.)

[16:27] <meomic> hey ppl, is it normal for flash to use whole cpu for just playing a 480p video at youtube? - it uses whole cpu and its about 6, 10, 24 fps (moving like crazy) - i was ignoring it - but i have this for some time already, my pc is core2duo notebook ibm thinkpad r61 nvidia quadro 140m
[16:27] <Fever> jgrosch: Have to looked in /home if there is any home dir for the new user?
[16:28] <pfifo> meomic, right click on the player and disable hardware acceleration
[16:28] <meomic> did already
[16:28] <jgrosch> yes, there is. The permissions and ownership looks right and /etc/passwd and /etc/group also look correct
[16:28] <xangua> meomic: yes, flash sucks
[16:28] <glda19> how can help me to share a directory by samba and swat
[16:28] <meomic> but it worked like 3-4 months ago
[16:28] <meomic> now i cant watch fullscreened 360-480p video lol
[16:29] <meomic> windowed -- still can.... (still uses whole cpu)
[16:29] <Fever> jgrosch: But you can login with the new user?
[16:29] <gnomerlocker0077> What does this mean: "W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick-updates/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.bz2  Hash Sum mismatch" ?
[16:29] <xangua> meomic: fact = adobe plugin sucks on linux
[16:29] <bekks> gnomerlocker0077: That the file was downloaded, but the checksum is wrong.
[16:29] <jgrosch> I've not tried that only "su -" Let me giv tat a try
[16:29] <pfifo> gnomerlocker0077, that means the published checksum doesnt match the checksum of the file you downloaded
[16:30] <gnomerlocker0077> pfifo: And what am I suppose to do about it?
[16:30] <meomic> xangua: yes but im using ubuntu for a year or so already, and it stopped to work like 3? months ago... (i think with 11 flash player)
[16:30] <pfifo> gnomerlocker0077, do a apt-get clean and apt-get update
[16:31] <meomic> before i was able to watch 1080p at youtube - fullscreened i had like 18 fps or so
[16:31] <gnomerlocker0077> pfifo: Thanks.
[16:31] <meomic> and now i cant even 360p lol

[16:33] <arcsky> hello, it says on the ubuntu website 32bits are recommended, ist any issus with the 64bits ?
[16:33] <jgrosch> drwxr-xr-x   2 cindy     cindy      4096 2011-11-12 08:15 cindy
[16:33] <pfifo> arcsky, use 64bit if your hardware supports it
[16:33] <bekks> arcsky: None to my knowledge. I havent been using 32bits for almost ten years now.
[16:33] <arcsky> ok thanks
[16:33] <cYmen_> How do I find out which encryption cipher cryptsetup used by default in a specific version of ubuntu?
[16:34] <jgrosch> Fever: drwxr-xr-x   2 cindy     cindy      4096 2011-11-12 08:15 cindy
[16:34] <meomic> arcsky: from what i heard with new release 64bits will be recommended as default
[16:34] <Fever> jgrosch: And what is the permission on /home?
[16:34] <meomic> arcsky: but im using it also and had no problems
[16:34] <jgrosch> Fever: ah! drwx------  16 jgrosch jgrosch  4096 2011-11-12 08:15 home
[16:35] <pfifo> cYmen_, I think aes has been the standard for quite some time now. Per haps you should get an old install CD and install an older version, and see whats in /etc/crypttab
[16:35] <Fever> jgrosch: There we go ;)
[16:35] <jgrosch> Fever: TANKS!
[16:35] <Fever> jgrosch: No problem
[16:37] <kamilnadeem> Hi
[16:37] <kamilnadeem> a friend of mine is has posed this question to me "Was there something done to linux kernel that it does not recognize PS3EYE as audio input? I tested it on Fedora 16 and Ubuntu 11.10. It worked without any problem in old releases of Ubuntu.Video is still working without problem."
[16:38] <xangua> kamilnadeem: looks like you answered yourself ;)
[16:38] <kamilnadeem> how xanuga ?
[16:39] <pfifo> kamilnadeem, to answer the question, you get to read the changelogs for the kernel, have fun!
[16:39] <kamilnadeem> surry xangua
[16:39] <ubuntu> test
[16:39] <jost> hi
[16:39] <deborah> Hello everyone
[16:39] <kamilnadeem> *sorry xangua but how>
[16:40] <kamilnadeem> Is there a solution to his problem ?
[16:40] <deborah> I know this sounds like a silly question but what is command to pull up nautilus file manager in root mode ?
[16:40] <pushpop> how do I found out whats locking this file.  I can't apt-get install Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[16:40] <pfifo> deborah, `sudo nautilus`
[16:41] <xangua> kamilnadeem: well what you said looks like you have no issues, i don't understand "It WORDED without any problem in old releases of Ubuntu.Video is STILL WORKING without problem."
[16:41]  * edwardthefma has a awsom idea for ubuntu
[16:41] <edwardthefma> i need some thoughts befor i submit it
[16:41] <jost> I've got a problem with smb shares here. If i try to mount a share from a win xp machine, it gives me the error: "mount error: could not resolve address for <servername>: Unknown error". But if I check known smb shares with smbtree or smbclient -L <servername>, this share is correctly shown. Other shares on the same machine don't work either.
[16:42] <jost> any hints?
[16:42] <ikonia> jost: can you resolve it at a dns level ?
[16:42] <pfifo> pushpop, `lsof /var/lib/dpkg/lock`
[16:42] <jost> ikonia, how to test that?
[16:42] <ikonia> jost: ping it ?
[16:42] <ikonia> jost: (does it map a hostname to IP ?)
[16:42] <cYmen_> pfifo: Okay, found it..
[16:42] <pushpop> pfifo, didnt work
[16:42] <glda19> who used samba to share a directoy on a ubuntu vista network
[16:42] <cYmen_> pfifo: Cryptsetup is not by default compatible with the version in 10.04LTS. An encrypted disk set up under 10.04LTS will fail to properly mount under maverick. This is because, as documented in the /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/NEWS.Debian.gz, defaults have changed. So to mount a disk which was created in 10.04LTS with cryptsetup, in 10.10 you must specify the cipher as such: cryptsetup -c aes-cbc-plain create h /dev/sdb1 (622762)
[16:43] <ikonia> glda19: I use it
[16:43] <jost> ikonia: no it doesn't seem to (ping <servername> does not work, at least)
[16:43] <ikonia> jost: that's your issue,
[16:43] <pfifo> pushpop, it may be a stale lock, try deleting the file
[16:43] <ikonia> jost: put an entry in the /etc/host file to map an IP to hostname, or fix your dns server
[16:43] <glda19> ikona how can i make a share to my music directory on a extenal hd
[16:43] <ikonia> (dns setup)
[16:43] <ikonia> glda19: same way as a local hard disk
[16:43] <Decerebrado> Hi! I'm having trouble tring to install a ProLink PlayTV Cinema A2200 on Ubuntu 10.04
[16:43] <Decerebrado>  I can't find the right modprobe options
[16:44] <glda19> ikonica how
[16:44] <ikonia> !samba | glda19
[16:44] <pfifo> cYmen_, I recommend, once you get it open, making a backup and converting to LUKS
[16:44] <jost> ikonia, ok, i'll try that. But why is the server correctly shown when using smbtree or smbclient -L?
[16:44] <ikonia> jost: it's picking up the netbios
[16:44] <carlinm> what happens when i simply install fglrx via synaptic?
[16:44] <ikonia> jost: (nmb - not smb)
[16:45] <bekks> carlinm: Which Ubuntu do you use?
[16:45] <carlinm> 10.04.03 lts 32
[16:46] <cYmen_> pfifo: Yeah, makes sense, and changing the cipher as well...
[16:46] <carlinm> hmm nothing much, now i have the ati catalyst, but have no driver. aticonfig cant find one
[16:47] <carlinm> is there more than the fglrx via synaptic that contains such drivers? ati site gives me none
[16:48] <Nebo_> hi all!
[16:48] <Nebo_> whazzuuuup? :D
[16:48] <glda19> ikonia hox did you do it
[16:48] <Nebo_> who's using linux-backtrack?
[16:49] <yeats> !backtrack | Nebo_
[16:49] <noodlr> hi
[16:49] <Decerebrado> am I asking in the wrong channel??
[16:49] <carlinm> i got this in lspci 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 673e
[16:49] <yeats> Decerebrado: possible that no one knows the answer - I certainly  don't ;-)
[16:50] <Nebo_> nono. I love ubuntu :D it's support channel? where i can talk? :D
[16:50] <pfifo> Decerebrado, your in the right channel, but noone seems to know. try providing more details
[16:50] <kamilnadeem> Sorry my connection dropped.
[16:50] <Decerebrado> anyone knows the v4l channel.... maybe it's #v4l??
[16:50] <xangua> !alis | Decerebrado
[16:50] <noodlr> Is it possible to run Vista, freebsd and Fedora 16 as triple-boot? Vista obviously takes up one primary partition, I think freebsd takes up 3 and I'm not sure if Fedora can be installed outside of a primary partition.
[16:51] <kamilnadeem> so is there any solution to the prob I mentioned ?
[16:51] <Decerebrado> thanks!!
[16:51] <xangua> noodlr: yes, it is posible
[16:51] <pfifo> noodlr, you should add solaris and make it a quad-boot ;)
[16:51] <BluesKaj> BBL, stuff to do
[16:52] <pfifo> noodlr, afaik, bsd dosent need 3 partitions, nor does it need a primary partition
[16:53] <jost> ikonia, thanks for the help :-)

[16:54] <noodlr> pfifo, I can't get hold of a copy of Solaris. isn't it discontinued?
[16:54] <benlebovitz> I'm actually typing to you now from it running on a USB drive
[16:54] <melvster1> when i run an app from dash, how do i find out the underlying command line command?

[16:54] <benlebovitz> but, when I click to install I get "no root file system is defined"
[16:55] <noodlr> pfifo, I tried creating 'slices' for its /, /usr and swap partitions outside of the primary partitions (I installed Fedora and Vista first) and it wouldn't take... just couldn't get it to install.
[16:55] <kamilnadeem_> Sorry My Internet connection is giving me a hard time :(
[16:55] <kamilnadeem_> so is there any solution to the prob I mentioned ?

[16:57] <smile4ever> gksu pcmanfm /usr/share/applications ! :p
[16:57] <pfifo> noodlr, good luck i could never get solaris to work :(
[16:57] <smile4ever> :(
[16:57] <peepsalot> so synaptic is replaced with software center?  how do you force an update with software center
[16:57] <smile4ever> But why use Solaris if you can use Linux ;)
[16:57] <smile4ever> peepsalot: just install synaptic again :D
[16:57] <smile4ever> sudo apt-get install synaptic ;)
[16:58] <Pilif12p> how do i remove a ppa that's not in sources.list ?
[16:58] <peepsalot> heh, fair enough
[16:58] <pfifo> smile4ever, solaris and java love eachother
[16:58] <Pilif12p> and i don't want to grep through the entire drive to find it
[16:58] <smile4ever> yeah, that's true ;)
[16:58] <smile4ever> but i hate java :D
[16:58] <smile4ever> too slow :p
[16:59] <smile4ever> pilif12p: maybe software sources @synaptic? ;)
[16:59] <smile4ever> :)
[16:59] <benlebovitz> hi guys, I"m getting a "no root file system is defined" when trying to install 11.10 from a USB flash

[17:02] <ubuntunoob> how do you exit outof changelogs ?
[17:02] <xangua> ooh kde, no idea jita
[17:02] <peepsalot> Randolph, do you use unity or gnome shell.  i wonder if it's specific to shell because it's saying something about themes
[17:02] <Randolph> peepsalot, Unity
[17:02] <jita> xangua, i mean when i run qt based apps like skype, which font does it use for that ?
[17:02] <ubuntunoob> in terminal
[17:02] <kamilnadeem_> xangua on his UBuntu 11.10 PS3eye's mic is not working while it has worked with the previous releases of Ubuntu
[17:02] <xangua> peepsalot: gksu synaptic is the comand, not just synaptic, it uses administrative privileges
[17:03] <peepsalot> xangua, i tried "sudo synaptic" in that same pastebin
[17:03] <hirogen2> hi
[17:04] <xangua> jita: like i said no idea, you want to configure the fonts of qt apps on gnome¿  install qt4-qtconfig and configure them with it
[17:04] <noodlr> pfifo, thanks, I'll be back to report on my progress (or lack thereof) tomorrow, no doubt.

[17:04] <xangua> gksu
[17:04] <peepsalot> xangua, it doesn't make a difference
[17:04] <xangua> ...
[17:04] <jita> xangua, actually i have installed lubuntu and i want the qt applications to use the same font which it uses in ubuntu 11.10 by default :(
[17:05] <xangua> jita: like i said, you can configure them with qt4-qtconfig
[17:05] <ubuntunoob> hirogen2: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
[17:06] <jita> xangua, only if i know which font ubuntu uses for qt4 apps

[17:14] <compdoc> glda19, to make it easy, you can add a user with the same name as your windows user, and then set permissions on the folder youre sharing to something other than root
[17:14] <compdoc> glda19, do you know how to use pastebin?

[17:20] <ubuntunoob> would upgrading usbmuxd fix that ??
[17:21] <bekks> ubuntunoob: No.
[17:21] <charminthemoose> Can anyone recommend an app that lets you cycle through windows, if the window manager doesn't provide such functionality?
[17:22] <ubuntunoob> bekks: my ipod touch 2g has 3.1.3 custom firmware

[17:24] <ubuntunoob> i restored it with itunes tho
[17:24] <bekks> ubuntunoob: Then I'm out of support :)
[17:24] <andi3> bekks: what to put after lb config to build ubuntu oneiric ?
[17:25] <ubuntunoob> bekks: weird thing is, it works on my intel iMac  but not my powerpc eMac

[17:30] <Markive> Hi Bekks, i've just upgraded and i can't find a logout button! I want to restart it , but I don't know how
[17:30] <bekks> Markive: Open a terminal and type: sudo reboot
[17:30] <compdoc> Markive, can you open a term window?
[17:30] <Markive> is there not a button?
[17:31] <compdoc> there should be
[17:31] <trism> Markive: if in unity, the top right corner should have a menu, the shutdown option has both restart and shutdown once you click it
[17:32] <Markive> not sure what its in trism.. sorry, the quick bar is up the left hand side though..
[17:33] <Markive> i'm missed alot since used this side of the duel boot.,..

[17:33] <kram92> hi all , got a small question about monitor (12v 4amp. ) as my power supply busted and i would like to use a 15v 4 am powersupply, will this work out or harm my monitor in the long run?
[17:33] <Markive> from maybe 3 months ago
[17:34] <bekks> kram92: That doesnt have anything to do with ubuntu :)
[17:34] <Markive> the gui doesn't look like it did.
[17:34] <Markive> hence I can't find the reboot menu..
[17:34] <meomic> about that flash speed playback - i just discovered that underfirefox i cant even play 480p video and under chrome i can play 1080p video at 30 fps what the f....
[17:34] <bekks> kram92: And unless it still meets the requirements of your monitor, you'll bust it.
[17:34] <kram92> it does if i like to run ubuntu :-)
[17:35] <edwardthefma> i need help
[17:35] <bekks> kram92: No.
[17:35] <kram92> thnx,
[17:35] <edwardthefma> im trying to chmod var/www
[17:36] <edwardthefma> but i cant cd to the dir
[17:36] <bekks> edwardthefma: Why not?
[17:36] <edwardthefma> my linux noob ness
[17:36] <yeats> meomic: try flash aid: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-aid/
[17:37] <edwardthefma> i try cd var
[17:37] <edwardthefma> no go
[17:37] <edwardthefma> :(
[17:37] <bekks> edwardthefma: Why do you want to change the permissions then?
[17:37] <bekks> cd /var/www should work fine.
its not letting my edit the files in that folder
[17:38] <edwardthefma> lol i for got the /
[17:38] <edwardthefma> XD
[17:38] <bekks> edwardthefma: Thats not a valid reason, unless you do know very well what you are doing and which security risks will arise.
[17:39] <meomic> in firefox i had option checked - se video acceleration whenever possible -turned off and i have 30 fps at 1080p under firefox .... zzzzz
[17:40] <bc81> hey all.  i'm trying to boot this old p4 computer (running xubuntu 10.10 ) with no monitor connected into a widescreen resolution (1360x768).  if i boot with the monitor connected, the highest resolution i can set is 1024x768...any ideas on this?
[17:40] <jdavis> I have a reproducible crash in evolution. How do I report the bug most effectively? I tried ubuntu-bug, but when it attaches to a running process it tries to send the report before I can reproduce the problem.
[17:40] <compdoc> bc81, sounds like that old video card doesnt know about widescreen
[17:41] <stephan_> hello. can i just install via the package "hibernate" to hibernate? suspend already works OOTB.
[17:42] <bc81> compdoc: yea it's odd, when i boot with the monitor (which is actually a tv @ 1360x768) it works fine.  as soon as i boot without a monitor (to access it through VNC) it's maxed out @ 1024x768
[17:42] <bekks> edwardthefma: Ask in here please, not in a unasked query.
[17:42] <bekks> 25
[17:42] <bekks> gna.
[17:42] <Liam__> Howdy.
[17:42] <compdoc> bc81, how can you tell what the rez is without a monitor?
[17:42] <bekks> compdoc++ :)
[17:42] <bc81> compdoc: xrandr
[17:42] <Liam__> What graphics card do you have compdoc?
[17:43] <compdoc> ask bc81
[17:43] <linelevel> Hi guys. I have both Windows and Ubuntu installed on my laptop. Under Windows, the internet works fine on my home network. Under Ubuntu, it disconnects often, though other, stronger connections still work fine. My question is: Is a wireless amplifier likely to help?
[17:43] <bc81> Liam__: there's no GFX card, it's just intel chip
[17:43] <bekks> bc81: That IS a graphics card.
[17:43] <Liam__> @linelevel Go into your router and turn the channels down.
[17:43] <bekks> bc81: Without it, you could not connect a display device.
[17:44] <compdoc> he means its a built-in video card
[17:44] <bc81> bekks: that's symantics, and irrelevant to the issue
[17:44] <bekks> bc81: Thats relevant to the issue. How can you change the resolution with a display device?
[17:45] <bekks> *without :)
[17:45] <compdoc> there is a display device - no need to get anal
[17:45] <bc81> bekks: umm..i not sure you're understanding the problem..
[17:46] <_joey> how do I find another mirror for this archive? - http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/partner
[17:46] <bekks> bc81: How do you start the VNC session then?
[17:48] <bc81> bekks: server is vino-server, client is vinagre
[17:48] <scizzo-> I am planning to reinstall my server but I have lvm partitioning on it and want to backup to the lvm partitions however I am wondering if I can mount that partitioning after the reinstall? I do not want to loose any data on that partition. Its separate drives though so shouldn't be a problem?
[17:49] <bekks> bc81: I guess you have to configure vino then, or use a real vnc server.
[17:49] <ft_mn> Hi, I have messed up things with the bootloader, I have one Hard Disk splited into two partitions one of them is NTFS(windows) and the other one is ext4(Ubuntu)... Now I cant boot from none of them, so I have an Ubuntu live cd booting from... The thing is that even with the Live cd I cant install grub to one of my partitions what can i do?
[17:49] <bekks> scizzo-: You should backup all data before.
[17:49] <scizzo-> bekks: to a non lvm drive?
[17:49] <bekks> scizzo-: To whatever - to a device you are not reinstalling :)
[17:50] <bc81> bekks: but that's still irrelevant to the problem.  the problem is not the VNC server, but in trying to find a way to force the computer to boot into a widescreen resolution
[17:50] <bc81> bekks: and for future reference, might you recommend to me a "real" vnc server?
[17:50] <compdoc> bc81, vnc4server
[17:50] <iExist> ft_mn, grub has been uninstalled?
[17:50] <LSymonds> Have you edited your xorg.conf @bc81
[17:50] <scizzo-> bekks: hmmm but if I have a sda (non lvm) and sdb (lvm) should that really create a problem?
[17:51] <bekks> scizzo-: If you are afraid of loosing data then create a backup.
[17:51] <ft_mn> iExist now it is on the Ubuntu partition
[17:52] <ft_mn> iExist no*
[17:52] <bekks> bc81: tightvncserver e.g.
[17:52] <_calum> can I make a complete backup image of my ubuntu including bootloader using the "dd" command?
[17:52] <bekks> _calum: yes.
[17:52] <ikonia> _calum: sure,
[17:53] <iExist> ft_mn, open a command line, mount the ubuntu-partition,
[17:53] <glda19> who can i share a directory by samba
[17:53] <bekks> I'd recommend mbuffer instead of dd.
[17:53] <bc81> LSymonds: ok, i will try that..i looked but it seems to have moved since previous version of ubuntu
[17:53] <ikonia> glda19: did you read the document I gave you
[17:53] <bekks> ikonia: Obviously not ;)
[17:53] <_calum> so I have a bootloader from ubuntu, it will back that up so I can still boot into windows 7?
[17:53] <glda19> ikonia what doc
[17:53] <ft_mn> iExist ok...
[17:53] <LSymonds> locate xorg.conf
[17:53] <ikonia> !samba | glda19
[17:54] <LSymonds> @bc81 /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[17:54] <bekks> _calum: just booting wont affect the bootloader.
[17:54] <_calum> sorry what I meant to say is if I restore the backup it won't delete my windows 7 from the bootloader
[17:55] <ft_mn> iExist what is next ?
[17:55] <iExist> ft_mn, which grub version was installed? you can see in #ubuntu-partition/sbin/grub*???
[17:55] <bc81> LSymonds: i don't find that file there, xubuntu 10.10 it must have moved
[17:55] <LSymonds> Ah, you're using xubuntu 10.10
[17:55] <LSymonds> @bc81 - Type find xorg.conf
[17:55] <LSymonds> In terminal ofc.
[17:56] <ft_mn> iExist there is no such a grub folder in the sbin directory.... only in the boot/ directory there is grub
[17:56] <bc81> LSymonds: no such file or direct.
[17:56] <_calum> thanks bekks and ikonia
[17:56] <Olotila> is there a command line text editor with windowslike shortcutkeys?
[17:57] <pfifo> bc81, by default there is no xorg.conf
[17:57] <iExist> ft_mn, ls  #ubuntu-part/sbin/grub*
[17:57] <LSymonds> /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d ?
[17:57] <Olotila> ctrl-c copies, ctrl-v pastes?
[17:57] <Olotila> and if not, how can i make one?
[17:57] <Olotila> can i program Nano that way?
[17:57] <ikonia> Olotila: not really,
[17:57] <pfifo> Olotila, ctrl+c has a special purpose in comman line programs
[17:58] <dougl> what's new?
[17:58] <pfifo> Olotila, use ctrl+ins and shift+ins
[17:58] <ft_mn> iExist: No such file or directory
[17:59] <Olotila> pfifo: thanks, iää try that
[17:59] <Olotila> how about marking text?
[17:59] <pfifo> Olotila, well if you dont have mouse support then ctrl+k and ctrl+u
[17:59] <Olotila> can shift with arrows work?
[18:00] <LSymonds> In cli, Cntrl+C ends the current process.
[18:00] <daeos> I determined that I did not allocate enough space for applications on my computer when installing ubuntu and now need to reassign the mount point for /usr how can I do this in Ubuntu 11.10 ?
[18:00] <moes> Lucid 10.04..Firefox-3.6.24...Firefox will not shutdown properly..Have to use pkill to resuse firefox in same session ??
[18:00] <LSymonds> @daeos sudo apt-get install gparted
[18:01] <LSymonds> Or just use gparted.
[18:01] <pfifo> Olotila, im not sure if nano has marking (it should) but I know for sure emacs has some great cut/copy/paste options and a very nice clipboard setup
[18:01] <Olotila> but Nano does something else with ctrl-c
[18:01] <ft_mn> iExist: is there something on the grub.cfg file that might help?
[18:01] <LSymonds> You don't still use emacs @pfifo?
[18:01] <Olotila> you can check it
[18:01] <ft_mn> I think that all i need is to install grub properly on the MBR
[18:01] <daeos> LSymonds: I have allocated 64GB on another drive to be used for the space needed but am not sure how to change the mount point for /usr
[18:01] <pfifo> LSymonds, yes, I use emacs when I dont have gui
[18:02] <LSymonds> Oh right, @pfifo. What about when you have a gui? ;)
[18:02] <ft_mn> iExist,  I think that all i need is to install grub properly on the MBR... I have a small partition that I can dedicate it to grub but i dont know how to do it
[18:02] <daeos> LSymonds: is it similar to moving /home to a seperate hdd/partition?
[18:02] <pfifo> LSymonds, leafpad/mousepad for simple stuff and geany for IDE
[18:02] <LSymonds> I think so @daeos
[18:02] <LSymonds> Ah yes.
[18:03] <Olotila> i do fine with new commands, but how about all the people coming from Windowsworld?
[18:03] <Olotila> why make it so hard to use text editor?
[18:03] <LSymonds> Most things can be done from the GUI?
[18:03] <Olotila> why not same keys?
[18:03] <LSymonds> You don't have to?
[18:03] <iExist> ft_mn, you can run grub-install --sthinglikeroot=
[18:03] <LSymonds> gksudo gedit /dir/filename.whatever
[18:03] <glda19> ho can help me to share a directory with samba
[18:03] <pfifo> Olotila, people coming from the windows world need to sit down and learn the terminal, or stick with gui
[18:04] <daeos> LSymonds: could this all be automated through a gui app? or am I stuck doing it in console?
[18:04] <compdoc> glda19, many ppl here can, but you have to do the work
[18:04] <KittyBunny> Hello i'm planning on watching a DVD with a load of friends tonight but Ubuntu isn't detecting my disc drive, why?

[18:05] <compdoc> glda19, I dont know swat. I need to see your /etc/samba/smb.conf file

[18:07] <rufsketch1> but everytime I try to login using mysql -u root it says  Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[18:07] <glda19> where can i post it compdoc
[18:07] <compdoc> pastebin
[18:07] <llutz> rufsketch1: mysql -u root -p
[18:07] <rufsketch1> llutz, when I do that it prompts me for a password
[18:07] <pfifo> Olotila, For the same reason it would be difficult for a linux user to learn windows at first (if such a person exists)
[18:08] <rufsketch1> llutz, no matter what password I enter, it gives me the same error as before except (using password: YES)
[18:08] <llutz> rufsketch1: enter mysql-administrator password

[18:09] <Linuxlainen> hi all, how can I get my remote control recognized as IR remote and not a mouse/keyboard ?
[18:09] <moes> Lucid 10.04..Firefox-3.6.24...Firefox will not shutdown properly..Have to use pkill to resuse firefox in same session ??
[18:09] <Olotila> pfifo: why is such thing not done
[18:09] <milen8204> Hello all, How can I modify my background to change the pictures?
[18:09] <Linuxlainen> I tried to have it ignored in hal, but that didn't help
[18:09] <Olotila> pfifo: why not use the knowledge you allready have in new os
[18:09] <rufsketch1> milen8204, you can google that easily
[18:09] <pfifo> Olotila, well technically, windows dosent have a commandline editor that has ctrl+c and ctrl+v either
[18:09] <iExist> milen8204, you can right click
[18:10] <iExist> milen8204, or google
[18:10] <iExist> milen8204, ;)
[18:10] <glda19> compdoc, http://pastebin.com/S7phkWHT
[18:10] <Linuxlainen> I also tried to teach it the buttons, but that didn't work eaither
[18:10] <Olotila> pfifo: thats true, i guess, but it is not as important in windows
[18:10] <iExist> milen8204, most of the answers already exist
[18:10] <Linuxlainen> currently only couple of buttons work in the remote
[18:10] <Linuxlainen> any help?
[18:10] <pfifo> Olotila, linux has many gui editors that support ctrl+c and ctrl+v

[18:11] <glda19> Commander1024,
[18:11] <eron> Hey guys, I have read through pages of info about changing file permissions but I'm unable to even find the file tree for a mounted .iso, when I try to run the setup.exe file I get this message "The file '/home/eron/.gvfs/sr-soaset.iso/Setup.exe' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit." Where should I look to figure out this issue?
[18:11] <Olotila> pfifo: so the reason would be that it is not needed, well that may be true
[18:11] <glda19> compdoc, yes but that is on my external hd on the partion Documenten and in directory muziek
[18:11] <Olotila> pfifo: cant believe it would be a humongous job
[18:12] <Linuxlainen> any one could help with this?
[18:12] <Olotila> pfifo: to reconfigure about 20 most used shortcutkeys and call it a new program
[18:12] <helder_raptor> i have installed python 3.2.2 on live ubuntu 11.10 running from a USB stick the module sqlite3 doesnot work. How to make it work?

[18:13] <helder_raptor> a dude in #python said to me its an ubuntu bug
[18:13] <pfifo> Olotila, nano is a GNU clone of a program called pico which was invented before windows
[18:14] <compdoc> glda19, what are the permissions on the folder muziek?
[18:14] <_calum> right, I executed dd if=/dev/sda6 of=~/ubuntubackup.img. There's drive activity but no progress bar, is it working?
[18:14] <helder_raptor> i have installed python 3.2.2 on live ubuntu 11.10 running from a USB stick the module sqlite3 doesnot work. How to make it work?
[18:15] <hirogen> ubuntu installation is asking for sata drivers, argh
[18:15] <dragonHack> is it easy to install ubuntu, I tried years ago and it was a nightmare but mabey it is better now
[18:15] <glda19> compdoc, drwx------
[18:16] <compdoc> glda19, who is the user?
[18:16] <compdoc> on the directory
[18:16] <pfifo> _calum, you want to add noerror and fsync to that, otherwise a badblock will ruin it
[18:16] <helder_raptor> i have installed python 3.2.2 on live ubuntu 11.10 running from a USB stick the module sqlite3 doesnot work. How to make it work?
[18:16] <glda19> compdoc what did you mean
[18:16] <helder_raptor> a dude in #python said to me its an ubuntu bug
[18:16] <helder_raptor> how to rectify it?
[18:17] <pfifo> _calum, read this, it offers `pv` to display a progress bar http://mark.koli.ch/2009/05/howto-whole-disk-backups-with-dd-gzip-and-p7zip.html
[18:17] <compdoc> glda19, open a term window, and type:  gksu nautilus
[18:17] <ikonia> helder_raptor: how did you install it
[18:17] <compdoc> glda19, then use nautilus to get properties on the folder
[18:17] <_calum> pfifo:By default, does dd not show progress?
[18:17] <ikonia> helder_raptor: (python 3.2.2)
[18:18] <helder_raptor> ikona: ys...from tarball
[18:18] <pfifo> _calum, you can, kill -USR1 `pidof dd`
[18:18] <apwbdjp> _calum, No, it only shows progress when sent USR1 signal
[18:18] <ikonia> helder_raptor: ok - the problem is not ubuntu, the problem is you've not built it correctly, and sqlite is linked against the wrong version of python.
[18:18] <_calum> right, thanks
[18:18] <charminthemoose> Can anyone answer this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1837541.html Why can't the window panels detect the open windows and hide/unhide them?
[18:18] <trism> jdavis: late reply, you can enable apport (sudo service apport start force_start=1;) and then try to reproduce the crash, an apport dialog should pop up, or you can run apport-bug against the file in /var/crash/
[18:18] <milen8204> iExist, I have a script that change some pictures, but in Ubuntu 11.10, can not find the way to set it like background. In Ubuntu 10.04 you can choose to view all file types and when you choose the html type fail to be your background , all is OK
[18:19] <helder_raptor> ikona: i followed the readme
[18:19] <ikonia> helder_raptor: that doesn't change what I just said
[18:19] <helder_raptor> ikona: and did just as it said
[18:19] <ikonia> helder_raptor: why do you want that version of python rather than the one packaged with ubuntu ?
[18:19] <glda19> compdoc, i get a new window
[18:19] <ikonia> helder_raptor: you shouldn't be building software unless a.) you have a reason b.) you understand what you're doing
[18:19] <ikonia> glda19: did you read the document I gave you, yes/no
[18:19] <glda19> yes
[18:19] <iExist> milen8204, i don't know
[18:19] <ikonia> glda19: what's the issue then
[18:20] <ikonia> glda19: why do you keep asking the same question if you've read the document I gave you
[18:20] <iExist> milen8204, you can disable the desktop alltogether though
[18:20] <helder_raptor> ikona: actually i am a newbie and the book i m going on with has 3.2.2
[18:20] <helder_raptor> do
[18:20] <iExist> milen8204, through gconf-editor
[18:20] <ikonia> helder_raptor: the version ubuntu ships with will be fine
[18:20] <helder_raptor> ikona: so unwillingly i had to use it
[18:20] <glda19> compdoc, but that is not the problem on my vista i see the folowing \\ubuntu\muziek
[18:20] <ikonia> helder_raptor: you don't have to use it, the version ubuntu ships with will be fine
[18:20] <ikonia> glda19: why do you keep asking the same question if you've read the document I gave you
[18:21] <daeos> how can I move my /usr to a new partition? I am seeing a few howtos that say not to use cp as it will not correctly create symlinks and im not sure how to use rsync to make sure that they are properly duplicated.  Any suggestions on a detailed 'howto' ?
[18:21] <ikonia> daeos: why do you want to ?
[18:21] <milen8204> iExist, ok thanks for the help
[18:21] <_calum> second question, with the nmap ping scan, is it possible to send packets for a certain length of time, e.g. 30 seconds?
[18:21] <ikonia> daeos: there are ramifications if you change it
[18:21] <iExist> milen8204, it's nautilus
[18:21] <jwtiyar> why we didnt yet get ff 8 ?
[18:21] <Jonii> Hey, when a man page or other sort of help page says "read thistutorial(3)", what does that mean?
[18:21] <helder_raptor> ikona: still can u guide me to build it correctly?
[18:21] <iExist> milen8204, or it was :P
[18:21] <ikonia> helder_raptor: no, you should use the version ubuntu ships with
[18:22] <compdoc> glda19, so whats the problem?
[18:22] <ikonia> glda19: if you have read the document I gave you detailing samba, - what is the issue, why do you keep asking the same question if you've read the document ?
[18:22] <apwbdjp> Jonii, it means that you should this the page "thistutorial" of secction 3. Done by "man 3 thistutorial"
[18:22] <SDr> hi
[18:23] <SDr> how important is it to have a separate master SSH key for each box I'm root on?
[18:23] <daeos> ikonia: I installed ubuntu on a single partition including /usr to fit all into a 12gb space.  I want to assign /usr 60gb instead of the limits it has now
[18:23] <glda19> compdoc,  i told you the share that i see on vista is \\ubuntu\muziek and that is not wright
[18:23] <Jonii> apwbdjp: you should this the page?
[18:23] <ikonia> daeos: thats VERY big for /usr
[18:23] <ikonia> glda19: why do you keep asking the same question if you've read the document I gave you
[18:23] <ikonia> glda19: please answer the question
[18:23] <compdoc> glda19, whats wrong with that?
[18:24] <milen8204> iExist, I have put the folder in /usr/share/background, but how to make the Ubunto 11.10 to use the script  as a background ?
[18:24] <helder_raptor> ikona: thnks
[18:24] <apwbdjp> Jonii, you should read / take a look. Sorry, tired.
[18:24] <glda19> ikonia and cmpdoc i told it twice now
[18:24] <daeos> ikonia: I don't want to run out of room with all of the programs I want to install .. I suppose I could remove ones I don't use but it limits me greatly
[18:24] <ikonia> daeos: I can't see /usr ever being anywhere near 60GB
[18:24] <ikonia> glda19: no - why do you keep asking the same question when how to set it up is detailed in the document I gave you, that you said you read
[18:24] <ikonia> glda19: did you read the document ?
[18:24] <apwbdjp> Jonii, point is the parenthesis is the section where you should look, which you can specify as a first argument to man.
[18:24] <_calum> does the ping command only work with tcp or can you send using udp?
[18:25] <Jonii> Oh, cool
[18:25] <ikonia> daeos: managing space is sensible, but 60GB for /usr is way way way too big,
[18:25] <iExist> milen8204, i'm not in ubuntu;)
[18:25] <ikonia> _calum: ping is tcp
[18:25] <daeos> ikonia: well I made a 60gb partition to be ready for this .. any suggestions on what to do with it? (its not really needed then)
[18:25] <glda19> ikonica why did you repeate it and repeated again yes
[18:25] <Jonii> Finally I understand what's that all about
[18:25] <ikonia> glda19: because you've not answered it
[18:25] <ikonia> daeos: could you pastebin the output of "df -h" and lets have look how it's laid out
[18:25] <_calum> ikonia: Apparently nmap can ping over udp or is that a different scan?
[18:25] <ikonia> _calum: that's not ping
[18:26] <_calum> ah
[18:26] <jwtiyar> why we didnt yet get ff 8 ?
[18:26] <apwbdjp> Jonii, you might notice the difference between man printf (which sends you to section 1) and man 3 printf (which gives the C function manual)
[18:26] <milen8204> iExist,  ok thanks I will continue to google it ;D
[18:26] <_calum> ICMP uses TCP only I guess?
[18:26] <iExist> milen8204, ok@_@
[18:26] <ImTheDude> how do i change the splash screen on boot up on ubuntu
[18:26] <ImTheDude> ?
[18:26] <mustafa> I was installing Ubuntu Restricted Extras, and after the download was finished and during the installation my PC rebooted. And it appears that the microsoft true fonts installer didn't install the fonts probably. So I tried removing the package then reinstalling it to fix the fonts installer but still with no luck.
[18:27] <moes> Lucid 10.04..Firefox-3.6.24...Firefox will not shutdown properly..Have to use pkill to resuse firefox in same session ??
[18:27] <ta> yes
[18:27] <ta> it is almost
[18:27] <glda19> ikonia i see the share muziek on vista but when i click on it ive got network fault \\ubuntu\muziek. But on ubuntu it is \media\documenten\muziek
[18:28] <ikonia> glda19: that's a file system path against a share name - it's explained in the document I gave you
[18:28] <glda19> compdoc, read what i say to ikonia
[18:28] <OliveGreen> Hi all.
[18:28] <mustafa> How can I completly remove the ubntu-restricted-extras and redownload it as if it was my first time. To get the true fonts installer run correctly?
[18:28] <_calum> hi OliveGreen
[18:28] <Jonii> So can you access other sections without that man {2, 3, ...} thingtolookat ?
[18:28] <ikonia> glda19: //server/share is the reference to /local/file/system - it's explained inthe document
[18:28] <compdoc> glda19, /msg me - its too hostile in here for you
[18:28] <ImTheDude> i want to change the splash screen on my ubuntu how do i change it?
[18:28] <daeos> ikonia: http://pastebin.com/rMP98PUF
[18:28] <OliveGreen> Has Firefox 8  been added to the Ubuntu main repos yet?
[18:28] <pfifo> mustafa, `sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer`
[18:28] <ikonia> o	no
[18:29] <ikonia> OliveGreen: no
[18:29] <OliveGreen> ikonia, not yet?
[18:29] <ikonia> OliveGreen: no
[18:29] <mustafa> pfifo: ty :)
[18:29] <OliveGreen> ikonia, so is it a good idea to install it through the Mozilla ppa?
[18:29] <ikonia> daeos: ok - what are /media/ubuntu-soft and /media/Storage holding ?
[18:29] <ikonia> OliveGreen: no
[18:29] <ikonia> OliveGreen: it's a good idea to wait for it to get released
[18:29] <glda19> compdoc what did i have to msg you
[18:30] <Jonii> Hey, can you make it so that the screen doesn't lock for a while, but so that it's only temporary?
[18:30] <charminthemoose> Can anyone answer this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1837541.html Why can't the window panels detect the open windows and hide/unhide them?
[18:30] <Jonii> Like, "don't lock the screen the next hour" or something like that?
[18:30] <_calum> Ubuntu 11.10 is awesome by the way :)
[18:31] <mustafa> pfifo: It doesn't work, when I keep following the instruction and leaving the filds blank which suits my situation. It just quits and nothing has changed.
[18:31] <daeos>  /media/Storage is a 1TB drive that I share between my ubuntu and windows boots as storage.  Mainly its an NTFS drive for win7 and other junk.  I peeled 60GB off of it to create /media/ubuntu-soft to be created into /usr
[18:31] <glda19> ikonica what is the link to the file you give
[18:31] <Jonii> I'd change it from screen settings, but it's temporary and I have to remember to change it back, which I most likely forget
[18:31] <ikonia> glda19: I've gave you 3 times and you said you'd read it, you should have it
[18:31] <pfifo> mustafa, then try `sudo apt-get purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer && sudo apt-get install ttf-mscorefonts-installer`
[18:31] <OliveGreen> ikonia, released? Firefox 8 has officially been released about a couple days ago (as far as I know).
[18:32] <glda19> i don't have it any more
[18:32] <ikonia> OliveGreen: yes, but ubuntu has not packaged and released it yet
[18:32] <apwbdjp> Jonii, there was an applet for Gnome-Panel that used to inhibit all power management stuffs.. but I don't know if that's still up.
[18:32] <daeos> ikonia: forgot to put yourn ame.. I replied above
[18:32] <OliveGreen> ikonia, I see.
[18:32] <ikonia> daeos: yes, I just saw it
[18:32] <glda19> !samba
[18:33] <OliveGreen> ikonia, Thanks for your time. :-)
[18:33] <ikonia> daeos: ok, I would suggest instead of copying /usr over to /media/ubuntu-soft, you copy over / to ubuntu-soft and use that as your root partition
[18:33] <ikonia> daeos: 60GB for /usr will be wasted, 60GB for / would be better
[18:34] <Jonii> _calum: 11.10 is pretty neat, yes. I used to like Windows better, but for my netbook installing 11.10 was the best decision I've yet made
[18:34] <mustafa> pfifo: Thanks, that worked =) Is there a way to make sure all other packages in "ubuntu-restricted-extra" were installed correctly? If I am missing something out?
[18:34] <moes> Lucid 10.04..Firefox-3.6.24...Firefox will not shutdown properly..Have to use pkill to resuse firefox in same session ??
[18:35] <pfifo> mustafa, `sudo dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-restricted-extras` might work
[18:35] <daeos> ikonia: Ok, I was trying to think of how that would affect bootup as I have ubuntu installed on the same drive as windows is, but only 12gb available to it. When you say to copy / to the new partition.. would that not in effect mean that the system would then be booting off my storage drive?
[18:36] <_calum> Jonni: I installed U11.10 alongside my windows 7. I like WIndows 7 but Ubuntu looks awesome, runs well and I feel clever using it :)
[18:36] <ikonia> daeos: is the storage drive an internal drive ?
[18:36] <mustafa> pfifo: Last question, are the unsupported update (oneiric-backports) checked by default?
[18:36] <pfifo> mustafa, personally i dont use the extras metapackage, its better to install only what you need from it
[18:37] <pfifo> !pin | mustafa
[18:37] <mustafa> pfifo: Ah, that might be easier. The download package is hugs and my bandwidth is limited. ty =)
[18:37] <daeos> ikonia: it is, but wouldn't this defeat the purpose of "what if the drive that linux runs off of fails" ? I was trying to keep windows and linux on 1 drive and storage on another..
[18:37] <ikonia> daeos: well, if you put /usr on a seperate drive and that drive fails, your system is useless and won't boot, so it's the same issue
[18:38] <_calum> all I gotta do is wait for people to say cool you have a Mac, then say nah its Ubuntu :)
[18:38] <daeos> ikonia: ah! so maybe then my best bet is to reinstall ubuntu and just reformat hdd 1 removing windows and ubuntu , allocate 20GB for windows later to reinstall on and use 40 for ubuntu?
[18:39] <ikonia> daeos: that would be a technically easier option
[18:40] <daeos> ikonia: I don't really have any attachments to the windows install and it wouldn't hurt me.. the only pain is the wait for the updates or the download of another install cd
[18:40] <rue_shop3> how do I reconfgiure X?
[18:40] <ikonia> daeos: that's a good attitude, you'll find it easier to that
[18:41] <daeos> ikonia: ok then! when i have more time, I'll do that instead, thanks!
[18:41] <_calum> Whats the best way to prevent malware attacks on Ubuntu? Update regularly and be cautious with root?
[18:41] <ikonia> _calum: malware doesn't work on ubuntu like it does on windows
[18:41] <ikonia> _calum: just use approved software repositories and apply common sense to what you are doing
[18:42] <pfifo> _calum, the best way is to not install software from untrusted sources or PPA's
[18:42] <fully_human> Hello.  For the longest time Ubuntu hasn't recognized my multimedia keys or brightness control keys (just about all the fn-keys that control system functions).  Anyone know how to have Ubuntu "recognize" them?
[18:42] <fully_human> I have a Toshiba Satellite.
[18:42] <jdavis> trism: thanks. I got the backtrace manually and attached it to the ticket, but I'll do that next time.
[18:42] <Jonii> ikonia, as far as I know there are viruses and malware that do attack linux-systems
[18:42] <ikonia> Jonii: no, not in the same way as windows
[18:42] <_calum> pfifo:So on ubuntu I can't get infected by going to an unknown website and it running code, e.g windows drive by?
[18:43] <pfifo> Jonii, that software dosent get in the repo's
[18:43] <ikonia> _calum: that same code would be worthless
[18:43] <Jonii> ikonia: "same way as windows" = "exploiting weaknesses in popular programs and system services to run your own software in someone elses computer"?
[18:43] <pfifo> _calum, no, atleast ive never had any problems
[18:43] <ikonia> Jonii: no, the techniques are not the same
[18:44] <moes> Lucid 10.04..Firefox-3.6.24...Firefox will not shutdown properly..Have to use pkill to resuse firefox in same session ??
[18:44] <Jonii> ikonia, how so?
[18:44] <_calum> what if a linux exploit was hosted on the site? Or is that very unlikely?
[18:44] <ikonia> Jonii: do a google search and read about the linux permissions model and kernel/user space
[18:44] <ikonia> _calum: it's not, it doesn't work like that - as I said, it's not the same as windows.
[18:45] <pfifo> _calum, I have only seen 1 linux exploit in the 10 years I have used linux, and it didnt cause any permant damage
[18:45] <Jonii> ikonia: I've read that. It presented a case for why there's an additional layer of security in Linux. An additional layer =/= safe
[18:45] <ikonia> Jonii: read more then
[18:45] <Jonii> It's safer, which is good, but not safe
[18:46] <_calum> reason for me asking is there was yet another critical windows vulnerability. Thy keep coming :(
[18:47] <_calum> they*
[18:47] <Jonii> There are, not to my knowledge, no entities on this planet that can produce software big as OS that is guaranteed to prevent an attacker from gaining control of the system
[18:47] <ikonia> _calum: don't worry about it, just apply common sense to what you are doing and you will have no issues
[18:47] <ikonia> Jonii: please stop talking generally
[18:47] <ikonia> there are exploits, but you can't protect against them in the same way as Windows due to the security model, it's a different approach .
[18:47] <pfifo> _calum, they are very rare, and chances are youll never be affected by one of the few that do pop up
[18:48] <_calum> thanks
[18:48] <ikonia> _calum: there are serious security vunerabilities, Linux machines do get compromised and exploted, however, it's not by visiting a web page
[18:48] <Jonii> ikonia: that's all I can do. I know enough about computers to figure that "safe from viruses and attacks" is false, but I'm not sure how much truth does that falsehood contain
[18:48] <ikonia> Jonii: I've just told you the truth
[18:48] <_calum> most of the hacked linux are probably running weak ssh services though?
[18:49] <ikonia> _calum: no, they are software flaws, but "you" as a user won't be able to do anything about that
[18:49] <ikonia> _calum: but you as a user also won't cause them visiting web pages etc
[18:51] <K-4U> How can i manually update my subversion server on Ubuntu 11.04 to 1.7?
[18:51] <_calum> thanks for the reassurance :)
[18:51] <erpo> I think my ecryptfs home directory is corrupted.  When I try to access that file, I get ecryptfs errors in the dmesg output. Is there an fsck for ecryptfs?
[18:51] <ikonia> K-4U: use the packages available in the repo to get to the latest available repo
[18:51] <K-4U> ikonia: Yeah, there is no new package :P
[18:51] <ikonia> erpo: you have to decrypt it, then check it normally
[18:51] <ikonia> K-4U: stick with that version then
[18:51] <K-4U> ikonia: not an option.
[18:51] <Technicus> Hello . . . I am maintaining an installation of 11.04 and trying to configure the power management options to hibernat after 30 minutes rather than sleep. With Power Management Preferences the only option is to configure for sleep when inactive after time, but my preference is to hibernate.  This machine is not able to wake from sleep, but it can hibernate with tuxonice and it wakes properly.
[18:51] <ikonia> K-4U: why ?
[18:52] <K-4U> ikonia: Because all the clients have been updated, and i want to go with the new version
[18:52] <ikonia> K-4U: why do you want to go with the new version ?
[18:52] <ikonia> K-4U: the clients are backware compatible
[18:53] <pfifo> K-4U, have you searched for a PPA?
[18:53] <ikonia> I would not use a PPA
[18:53] <K-4U> ikonia: Well, no. My laptop just updated to 1.7, and i need to recreate the entire svn in order to use that again
[18:53] <K-4U> pfifo: is there one?
[18:53] <ikonia> K-4U: the SVN version does not affect how the repo is created,
[18:53] <erpo> ikonia: I can't find the base file in /home/.ecryptfs/erpo/.Private due to file name encryption. Any ideas how to proceed?
[18:53] <ikonia> K-4U: you can use the same repo exported and imported into an older version
[18:53] <ikonia> erpo: no
[18:54] <K-4U> ikonia: Well, app. not..
[18:54] <ikonia> K-4U: you can
[18:54] <ikonia> K-4U: what is the version you currently have ?
[18:54] <_calum> dd command is taking quite a while.
[18:54] <ikonia> _calum: it will take a very long time
[18:54] <K-4U> ikonia: 1.6.12.. and i really want to update it..
[18:55] <ikonia> K-4U: why do you want to update it @?
[18:55] <ikonia> K-4U: what is the reason / driver for this ?
[18:55] <pfifo> K-4U, i dont recommend a PPA either, but you can always try https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=subversion+1.7&field.actions.search=Search
[18:55] <ikonia> K-4U: you're going to break your package / library compatability support for what reason ?
[18:55] <_calum> ikonia:Is that because its copying every byte of the ubuntu partition exactly?
[18:55] <ikonia> _calum: yes
[18:56] <K-4U> ikonia: well.. why not? The clients have the new version? Why should it not be stable if we are already at 1.7.1?
[18:56] <j-v-e> is there a way to make unity remember the dimension of a window ? it insists on making firefox and evolution full screen every time I relaunch them
[18:56] <pfifo> _calum, how big is the partition?
[18:56] <ikonia> K-4U: I didn't say it wasn't stable, however changing it for no reason is madness
[18:56] <K-4U> ikonia: sorry, but that is the only thing i´m starting to hate about ubuntu, allways 3 steps behind..
[18:56] <_calum> pfifo:Around 100gb I think
[18:56] <ikonia> K-4U: people who think that are normally fools chasing version numbers for no reason
[18:57] <glda19> compdoc
[18:57] <K-4U> ikonia: i´m changing it for the pure reason that all of my clients have updated and can no longer connect to the server.
[18:57] <pfifo> _calum, yes thats going to take a very long time, even longer since it appears you didnt set an optimal block size
[18:57] <ikonia> K-4U: the clients are backward compatible and will have no problem talking to a .6.12 server
[18:57] <_calum> looking at a couple of hours?
[18:57] <ikonia> easy
[18:57] <pfifo> _calum, overnight
[18:58] <bobweaver> Hi there I was wondering if there is a hurd image of ubuntu at all ? or if there is a team or anything? Is ubuntu looking at the hurd ?
[18:58] <ikonia> bobweaver: no
[18:58] <bobweaver> thanks ikonia
[18:58] <ikonia> bobweaver: there was unoffiical project ports
[18:58] <K-4U> ikonia: well that is not what i´m seeing here. But anyway, apperantely you think it is impossible..
[18:58] <ikonia> K-4U: I don't think it's impossible at all
[18:58] <ikonia> K-4U: try listening to what I'm saying to you
[18:58] <bobweaver> ikonia:  links ?
[18:58] <apwbdjp> _calum, you can do on another terminal watch "kill -USR1 `pidof dd`"
[18:59] <ikonia> K-4U: it's totally possible, however it is a.) pointless b.) going to break library and binary package manager compatability for SVN and linked libraries
[18:59] <pfifo> bobweaver, the hurd project page has qemu images for debian and ubuntu
[18:59] <apwbdjp> _calum, that'll make dd display its progress every 2 seconds, just so you know where you are.
[18:59] <_calum> does it need root?
[18:59] <apwbdjp> _calum, if dd has been done by sudo, then yes it might.
[18:59] <ikonia> K-4U: if you have upgraded the clients, they will talk to 1.6 servers without any problems at all
[18:59] <aliquis> Hi! I'm a Ubuntu n00b, having run OS X up until now. I installed Ubuntu a couple of days ago but today I got a kernel panic. After restarting the computer and logging on the account I found out that the settings were messed up. The Nautilus menu was present on the screen but nothing else, so I went into text mode to remove the .gnome2 and .gconf directories. I rebooted once more and then everything worked. How can I find out what I did wro
[18:59] <aliquis> ng? And how can I more easily recover if this happens again, without losing my settings?
[19:00] <bobweaver> thanks pfifo I am using that one on vbox right now have to say that I am impressed. That is why I am wondering about ubuntu.
[19:01] <_calum> apwbdjp: I get ERROR: garbage process ID "dd".
[19:01] <Technicus> Is there a power management gui that provides more comprehensive adjustments than 'Power Management Preferences' gui?
[19:01] <pfifo> bobweaver, really you want to use the debain ports, its further along, ubuntu is for the masses. If your adventurous try the archlinux port
[19:02] <apwbdjp> _calum, alright to this instead: watch killall -USR1 dd
[19:03] <_calum> thanks, it worked
[19:04] <_calum> so far its copied 64 GB
[19:04] <moes> Lucid 10.04..Firefox-3.6.24...Firefox will not shutdown properly..Have to use pkill to resuse firefox in same session ??
[19:05] <apwbdjp> _calum, then you're doing good, I believe
[19:05] <_calum> 65 now :)
[19:06] <arcsky> anyone got a asrock ion2 3d htpc?
[19:07] <unixtippse1> ubuntu stinkt
[19:07] <decodito> buenas noches gente
[19:08] <mod> Since the video drivers that come with 11.10 suck for Sandybridge (even with edgers), is there a way to reset/restart the video drivers without having to reboot?
[19:08] <_calum> what is the killall for in that command? Just asking
[19:08] <ikonia> mod: no, X needs to be restarted
[19:09] <pfifo> mod, shutdown X and then rmmod your modules, then maybe modprobe a different module, then restart X
[19:09] <mod> bleh
[19:09] <pfifo> ikr
[19:10] <mod> logging out should restart X ...

[19:12] <ft_mn> !grub
[19:12] <urlin2u> ft_mn, why a partition?
[19:13] <yashi-> im trying to get DECENT 3d power...ive got a ati hd4800 and heroes of newerth is lagging hardcore.i installed the fglrx driver, and im PRETTY sure its used
[19:13] <pwnguin> how do i get the clock to show time without clicking on it?
[19:13] <ft_mn> urlin2u I have a NTFS(win7) and a ext4(Ubuntu), Im not good with Windows but I need it at the moment... Never the less, bootloader doesnt 'see' Ubuntu, thats why I want grub
[19:13] <Galvatron> ft_mn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[19:13] <ikonia> ft_mn: you need grub to boot ubuntu
[19:14] <rhizmoe> has there been an update to the nvidia driver since oneiric dropped?
[19:14] <ErtanERBEK> Hi Everyone
[19:14] <ft_mn> ikonia: I know but i have a hard time to install GRUB while im booting from the live CD
[19:14] <_calum> HI
[19:14] <ikonia> !grub2 > ft_mn
[19:14] <_calum> Hi*
[19:14] <urlin2u> ft_mn, is this a partitioned install of ubutnu or a wubi install which would ubuntu installed from windows?
[19:15] <Galvatron> yashi-: For proprietary AMD drivers best use the dedicated #ati channel
[19:15] <ErtanERBEK> I have one problem for Ubuntu 11.04 with Dual Monitor diffrent resulation
[19:15] <ErtanERBEK> could you help me ?
[19:15] <ft_mn> urlin2u: its a diferent partition!
[19:15] <ft_mn> a partition for is OS
[19:16] <ft_mn> urlin2u: a partition for each OS
[19:16] <urlin2u> ft_mn, so what do you see when you power on a grub menu or a windows boot menu?
[19:16] <pfifo> ft_mn, what exactly is not working when you try to repair grub?
[19:16] <arcsky> i got issues when installing an NVIDIA driver. does anyone maybe understand this: http://pastebin.com/jJRD4AgZ
[19:16] <ErtanERBEK> This is my problem picture link " http://postimage.org/image/839ajg4rf/ "
[19:16] <yashi-> Galvatron: thanks
[19:17] <pfifo> arcsky, make sure X is not running when you install
[19:17] <ErtanERBEK> If I use Dual monitor with diffrent resulation then Ubuntu can't set my desktop icon
[19:17] <Galvatron> arcsky: You must turn off X-server to install nVidia's proprietary drivers
[19:17] <ft_mn> pfifo: I dont see GRUB at all while im booting. it gets straight to the windows (bootloader)
[19:17] <fully_human> So, I'm trying to have my multimedia and function keys work in Ubuntu; the only problem is that Ubuntu doesn't detect when I press them.  Even with "showkey -s" the key doesn't show up.  Anyone know why this happens?
[19:17] <urlin2u> ft_mn, did you install windows last?
[19:17] <johnnychimpo> you need to get boot repair
[19:18] <pfifo> ft_mn, then you should reinstall grub
[19:18] <dr_willis> and its normally better to try the nvidia drivers in the repos first
[19:18] <ft_mn> pfifo: How to reinstall Grub if i cant boot from the UBUNTU!!!?!?!?
[19:18] <johnnychimpo> use a live cd, install boot repair.  it will fix it.  did this yesterday
[19:18] <dr_willis> fully_human:  check the output of 'dmesg' after you hit some of the keys the first time. it may give a clue/command to use to try to activate the keys
[19:18] <arcsky> pfifo: ok how can i logout from X ?
[19:19] <fully_human> dr_willis: I did that, too...It didn't detect a key.
[19:19] <pfifo> ft_mn, by booting a livecd and following these instructions  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[19:19] <Galvatron> arcsky: You do so with "sudo service gdm stop" (lightdm for 11.10, kdm for Kubuntu etc".
[19:19] <pfifo> arcsky, sudo service gdm stop
[19:19] <ft_mn> pfifo: ill check this
[19:19] <ft_mn> thanks
[19:20] <ft_mn> johnnychimpo: where can i get this from
[19:20] <urlin2u> ft_mn, just notice in that link that your not installing grub to a partition, but to the mbr the master boot record the grub files for the partition are already there.
[19:20] <Galvatron> arcsky: To get back to X, use "start" instead of "stop"
[19:20] <johnnychimpo> you can get it from the software center when you boot up with the ubuntu live ce
[19:20] <arcsky> pfifo: Galvatron gdm: unregonized service
[19:20] <pfifo> arcsky, sudo service lightdm stop
[19:21] <johnnychimpo> no wait.  you have to install it thru terminal
[19:21] <fully_human> Anyone know how to get Ubuntu to detect a key was pressed?
[19:21] <johnnychimpo> hold on
[19:21] <Galvatron> arcsky: What system exactly do you have?
[19:21] <charminthemoose> Can anyone answer this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1837541.html Why can't the window panels detect the open windows and hide/unhide them?
[19:21] <johnnychimpo> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
[19:21] <johnnychimpo> sudo apt-get update
[19:21] <johnnychimpo> sudo apt-get install boot-repair-ubuntu
[19:22] <dr_willis> fully_human:  i would check the forums for your exact pc/keyboard model and see what others say.
[19:22] <ft_mn> Ill check these THank you
[19:22] <pfifo> fully_human, see it xev can detect the keys
[19:22] <johnnychimpo> run live cd, run those in terminal and the you runn the app
[19:22] <arcsky> Galvatron: hw?
[19:22] <arcsky> Galvatron: asrock 3d ion2
[19:22] <DexterF> hoi

[19:23] <Galvatron> arcsky: Ubuntu version... <facepalm>
[19:24] <fully_human> pfifo: Nope, sorry. :(  Keys I need aren't detected.  Not even in showkey.
[19:24] <DexterF> replaced a brokes soundblaster 10k1 with a USB audio adapter. works a charm on win7 (dual boot) but nothing on ubuntu. in the mixer I notice there is the motherboard's Nvidia HDA listed tho disabled in BIOS, no clue why it's there at all. suspect HDA might be the first card, but how would I check?
[19:24] <nightwalkerkg> Hi evryone.
[19:24] <pfifo> fully_human, open a terminal and run `xev`
[19:24] <Travis-43> since upgrading to ubuntu 11.10, my battery icon does not always appear in the top right. how do I fix this?
[19:24] <nightwalkerkg> I need help with my display drivers and monitor,can anyone help me?
[19:24] <fully_human> pfifo: I did that...they aren't detected.
[19:25] <glda19> ho can help me to set up a samba share between ubuntu and vista
[19:25] <DexterF> nightwalkerkg: state what problem you have and what you tried so far.
[19:25] <_calum> thanks people, I'm off, bye
[19:25] <pfifo> fully_human, then do as dr_willis said and check fourms and google, its liekly that your keyboard isnt fully supported
[19:25] <nerd> ciao
[19:26] <fully_human> pfifo: Yeah, I've been searching, too. :/
[19:26] <nerd> :list
[19:26] <fully_human> Is there a way I can possibly contribute to help get my keyboard supported?

[19:26] <fully_human> (One of the joys of open source :) )
[19:27] <nightwalkerkg> DexterF Before the reinstallation i tried almost evrything i could find on the interent.The problem is my monitor is unknown and i have only 2 possible resolutions avalable.
[19:27] <pfifo> DexterF, alsamixer -c0 OR  alsamixer -c1
[19:27] <huhBigg> hello
[19:27] <elgaton> !list | nerd
[19:27] <DexterF> nightwalkerkg: well, ok, but: *what* is the problem? :)

[19:28] <nerd> ciao
[19:28] <ImTheDude> how do i change my splash screen in ubuntu
[19:28] <ErtanERBEK> re hi everyone, could you help me ? how set my desktop icon with dual monitor diffrent resolation on Ubuntu 11.04

[19:28] <DexterF> pfifo: heh. I was diving in to /sys.... that did it, NV HDA is card0
[19:28] <sirdeiu> glda19: you should be able to browse your Vista shares from ubuntu within nautilus by going to Browse Network
[19:29] <nightwalkerkg> DexterF: Oh,also the ATI droped the support for my card and the drivers won't work.
[19:29] <DexterF> how can I disable an onboard sound device that's disabled in BIOS but still gets used?
[19:29] <ImTheDude> how do i change the splash screen in ubunu ?
[19:29] <DexterF> nightwalkerkg: what card, what monitor, by what cable is the monitor connected?
[19:29] <sirdeiu> glda19: or to share some folder from Ubuntu use samba sudo apt-get install samba
[19:29] <pfifo> DexterF, youlll need to edit alsa.conf
[19:29] <Galvatron> arcsky: Then "sudo servide lightdm stop" (11.10 uses lightdm instead of gdm) and "sudo service lightdm start" tu get it back)
[19:30] <milen8204> Why I do not have screen server  settings on Ubuntu 11.10
[19:30] <glda19> Sirdieu that works but not form vista
[19:30] <pfifo> DexterF, its a real pain to do, you might be better just leaving it as is
[19:30] <arcsky> Galvatron: ok i did dpkg --configure -a and ubuntu freezed
[19:30] <sirdeiu> glda19: you need to install samba first to be able to access your Ubuntu from your Vista
[19:30] <elgaton> ImTheDude: do you mean the login screen or the splash screen that gets showed at startup?
[19:31] <nightwalkerkg> DexterF Diamond ATI Radeon 9550,LG FLATRON ez T710B and VGA.
[19:31] <martman> did dev packages break yet again? im getting "fatal error: 'stdio.h' file not found" when i compile
[19:31] <martman> of all things
[19:31] <lesnik_> hi guys!
[19:31] <Galvatron> nightwalkerkg: What card it that? Also, for problems with oen source ATI/AMD drivers there's a dedicated #radeon channel.
[19:31] <glda19> sirdeiu, i have installed samba
[19:31] <johnnychimpo> because screen savers are irrelevant this day and age
[19:31] <Galvatron> *open
[19:31] <nightwalkerkg> Galvatron,thanks il check it.
[19:31] <johnnychimpo> i dunno either.  Their is one on ubuntu studio.
[19:31] <glda19> sirdeiu, that is the error i get Windows cannot access \\server_ip_address".
[19:31] <glda19> Error code: 0x80070035. The network path was not found.
[19:32] <nightwalkerkg> Cannot send to channel: #radeon
[19:32] <lesnik_> I'm using ubuntu 11.10. Do you know how to install wine in specified version. Let's say 1.3.22?
[19:32] <pfifo> martian, if stdio.h in /usr/include?
[19:32] <sirdeiu> glda19: can you ping server_ip_address first?
[19:32] <sirdeiu> glda19: are both machines on the same network ?
[19:32] <smile4ever> bye :)
[19:33] <glda19> sirdeiu, that is ok
[19:33] <sirdeiu> glda19: open nautilus and right click a folder to share, select Sharing Options
[19:33] <DexterF> nightwalkerkg: VGA cable or 5xBNC cable?
[19:34] <glda19> i did that also
[19:34] <nightwalkerkg> DexterF: VGA cable.
[19:35] <barcef> What is the recommended UBUNTU distro for netbooks, since it appears the UNR is not longer being updated.
[19:35] <sirdeiu> glda19: any firewall blocking incoming connections?
[19:35] <DexterF> nightwalkerkg: strange. check the programs in the read-edid package. check if X reads the monitor capabilites at all. if that looks good paste Xorg.0.log somewhere. pastebin.com for example
[19:36] <sirdeiu> glda19: also in your /etc/samba/smb.conf file in the [global] section set your workgroup option to the same one of your vista pc, or set the vista pc to the same workgroup as ubuntu pc
[19:36] <Danyt> ciao
[19:36] <DexterF> pfifo: thought more like "disable nv hda module". modules.d blacklist still the appropriate place?
[19:36] <Danyt> !list
[19:36] <nightwalkerkg> DexterF: can you explane how to do it,i am a new ubuntu user.
[19:36] <glda19> sirdieu that is done
[19:36] <sirdeiu> excluding firewall issues or network issues, you should be able to see both pc's when Browse(ing) the network
[19:36] <pfifo> DexterF, yes the blacklist is still respected
[19:36] <sirdeiu> either in Ubuntu or Vista
[19:36] <glioros> Guys any sugesion for VPS servers providers?
[19:37] <Danyt> !list
[19:37] <glda19> sirdieu the error on vista is Windows cannot access \\server_ip_address".

[19:37] <sirdeiu> i saw that
[19:37] <elgaton> barcef: The normal Ubuntu release (Unity is meant for netbooks). If you use KUbuntu, there is a dedicated package (plasma-netbook).
[19:37] <elgaton> !it | Danyt
[19:37] <sirdeiu> glda19: sudo service smb status ?
[19:38] <DexterF> nightwalkerkg: install the package read-edid. run the command:   get-edid | parse-edid   on a console, paste output to pastebin.com. then on a console do:  sudo cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[19:38] <DexterF> paste that, too
