[06:20] <genewitch> rusivi: it's a driver issue, i've had this with other ati cards with the wrong driver picked
[06:20] <icarus-c> genewitch, look. no matter what ati card you got,  you would probably be using radeon
[06:20] <rusivi> genewitch: mine was contained to just the trash bin only
[06:20] <wtfckd> Rusivi, having an issue with my nvidia driver too.
[06:20] <genewitch> icarus-c: how do i tell which one it is using?
[06:20] <icarus-c> genewitch, and that screen flickers or whatever after resume is common problem
[06:20] <wtfckd> IT came up as "ubuntu tested" and told me to update.
[06:20] <icarus-c> genewitch, look at /etc/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:20] <wtfckd> Screwed it up.
[06:21] <rusivi> genewitch: it may the wrong driver or the state of which your driver being used is in.
[06:21] <icarus-c> genewitch, only 3 drivers support ati card:  radeon.  radeonhd (r500-r700 only), and vesa (the generic driver of all card)
[06:21] <genewitch> icarus-c: and fglrx
[06:22] <genewitch> i don't have an Xorg log
[06:22] <icarus-c> right but that is proprietary and real crappy from my experience some time ago :-S
[06:22] <theos> hey all!! what can be the reason behind the blinking of the power on/off button on my laptop?
[06:22] <moetunes> it is /var/log
[06:22] <icarus-c> genewitch, oops sorry i mean /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[06:22] <rusivi> wtfckd: What issue have you noticed w/ your nvidia driver?
[06:22] <doobien> depending on your card, i fixed my atihd card with this - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1464748
[06:22] <icarus-c> theos, it depends on the model.  but typically  low power, during suspend
[06:23] <genewitch> it says the driver - is ATI
[06:23] <theos> icarus-c, hmm power is fine. and its not suspended either
[06:24] <Lord_Nightmare> wtfckd: you would put that command on the kernel boot commandline before startup; try holding ctrl or space when booting; if you get a grub menu, add that to the end of the boot command line for one entry
[06:24] <genewitch> ok the radeon driver says it supports the 200M chipset... how do i force it to use that set of drivers rather than the R300?
[06:25] <Lord_Nightmare> wtfckd: try googling 'grub boot menu' and 'commandline'
[06:25] <wtfckd> I got into it Lord and added single but nothing happened.
[06:25] <wtfckd> I had a live usb so I am reinstalling it, its at 93% right now.
[06:25] <wtfckd> Took about 5 minutes.
[06:27] <Lord_Nightmare> init=/bin/sh should instantly dump you to a root prompt
[06:27] <ubuntu_904_usr> hi everybody! I have problems with my GUI on Ubuntu 9.04. I have tried with:  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  and  dpkg-reconfigure gdm  but doesn't work :-(  what you could recommend me to try?  (thaks in advance)
[06:27] <genewitch> so what should i search to fix this artifacting on resume?
[06:28] <rusivi> genewitch: Let me get some info on that for you
[06:28] <Lord_Nightmare> artifacting on resume... you mean screen gibberish, then you have to switch consoles to get rid of it?
[06:28] <genewitch> where did they move xorg.conf?
[06:28] <Lord_Nightmare> genewitch: i have no idea, was hunting for it myself
[06:28] <genewitch> Lord_Nightmare: the GUI. i have to restart (sometimes hard reset) to clear it up
[06:29] <Lord_Nightmare> what about switching to console mode and back
[06:29] <Lord_Nightmare> ctrl-alt-F1 then ctrl-alt=F7
[06:29] <genewitch> crtl-alt-F2?
[06:29] <genewitch> let me try that
[06:29] <Lord_Nightmare> ctrl-alt-f7 is to switch back
[06:30] <shikobarreiros> olá pessoal algum brasileiro aqui ?
[06:30] <rusivi> genewitch: You may mark yourself "affected by this" on bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/602475
[06:31] <icarus-c> genewitch, ubuntu got no xorg.conf by default. so Xorg settings are auto configured.
[06:31] <rusivi> genewitch: if your glitching is more/less severe or affects more may want to look further into it.
[06:31] <icarus-c> genewitch, you could obtain the xorg.conf with auto configured settings  by command "X -configure"
[06:32] <antIP> Ext2 vs Ext3 vs Ext4? I'm not sure where to start.
[06:32] <icarus-c> antIP, as you have asked such question, you probably should use ext4
[06:32] <rusivi> antIP Ext4 has best end-user performance from personal experience.
[06:32] <moetunes> +1 ext4
[06:32] <genewitch> Lord_Nightmare: nope, cause F1 is broken too
[06:32] <rusivi> antIP everything I did in ext3 is noticeably faster using ext4
[06:33] <genewitch> had to hard reset
[06:33] <icarus-c> the only down side of ext4 is that older kernel doesn't support it.
[06:33] <genewitch> i am going to try x-configure
[06:33] <icarus-c> genewitch, have you tried kernel system requests? :-S
[06:33] <icarus-c> * X  -configure
[06:33] <genewitch> icarus-c: I don't know what that means
[06:34] <icarus-c> genewitch, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-use-magic-system-request-keys-in-ubuntu-linux.html
[06:36] <genewitch> hm
[06:36] <Loshki> the other down side of ext4 is that 3rd. party tools don't understand it. I once needed to run a 3rd. party file recovery program. It wouldn't have been possible with ext4...
[06:37] <DualProxy> how do I change the position of the popup notifyer?
[06:37] <genewitch> DualProxy: drag it
[06:37] <mak69> tensorpudiing: i got gparted installed what i could see is ubuntu is spread all over now how do i create free space
[06:37] <antIP> icarus-c rusivi rusivi - Thanks. I'm noticing a theme here. Someone else told me ext3, but I can't remember why.
[06:38] <Phr3ak_> hi there !!
[06:38] <Blackbird> erm, hello. I have a question on dualbooting ubuntu on a mac from a USB drive; namely, whether that is even possible
[06:38] <antIP> icarus-c I just bought a new 1tb drive that I'm using for back up, and I'm creating the primary partition. That's why I was asking.
[06:38] <icarus-c> Blackbird, you better ask mac folks can you boot from usb on mac
[06:38] <mak69> tensorpudding: i'm not able to create a new partition, there is a key symbol as if it is secure
[06:39] <Blackbird> well you can, only in certain cases
[06:39] <Blackbird> I just came on here to see if anyone has done it
[06:39] <genewitch> Blackbird: the easy way is to load bootcamp and then have it access the USB drive
[06:39] <Phr3ak_> if you can boot from usb, you also can run ubuntu from it ..
[06:39] <Blackbird> because most of the stuff I can get online is "well we're not really sure..."
[06:39] <tensorpudding> mak69: are you running gparted from a live cd like i said?
[06:39] <Phr3ak_> but it depends, if you can boot that machine from usb ..
[06:39] <genewitch> Blackbird: bootcamp bypasses efi, IIRC
[06:39] <antIP> icarus-c can windows read from a ext drive?
[06:39] <DualProxy> genewitch: Does not work, do you know the programs name?
[06:39] <icarus-c> antIP, no
[06:39] <genewitch> DualProxy: for what
[06:39] <Blackbird> not without several patches, no, antIP
[06:39] <icarus-c> antIP, windows only support NTFS and FAT
[06:39] <cgkades> ive seen the mac tech's boot from usb drives
[06:40] <DualProxy> genewitch: the notifications. As this is a mint install I want to look in to if they are the same
[06:40] <Blackbird> genewitch: I'm using a different bypasser but...
[06:40] <Blackbird> well, it should probably work
[06:40] <mak69> tensorpudding: am i supposed to insert a windows bootable cd now
[06:40] <genewitch> DualProxy: oh, menu > prefrences > pop-up notifications or in a terminal "notification-properties"
[06:40] <icarus-c> antIP, but their are some third party program could access EXT file system. but i wouldn't expect them to be stable enough to use
[06:40] <antIP> icarus - BLackbird - I wonder if I should set my back up drive as NTFS in case I ever need to have a windows machine read from it. (I don't run windows, but...0
[06:41] <Phr3ak_> windows :S
[06:41] <DualProxy> genewitch: Thanks.
[06:41] <mak69> tensorpudding: right now i have the gparted table open
[06:41] <tensorpudding> mak69: you need to get your ubuntu install disk and boot from it
[06:41] <antIP> icarus-c - I suppose if I needed to transfer something to a windows machine I could just burn it to cd.
[06:41] <icarus-c> antIP, um... when you do recovery, you could simply use a linux livecd, right?
[06:41] <pbondare> joint #ubuntuforums, #ubuntu+1
[06:41] <antIP> icarus-c - yeah, I always use ubuntu live cd
[06:42] <Evil_Eric> whats the name of the prerelease chan for the new ubuntu
[06:42] <Blackbird> back up drive should be set to fat32
[06:42] <Blackbird> unless you happen to carry around huge files
[06:42] <icarus-c> Blackbird, are you seriously?
[06:42] <pbondare> join #ubuntuforums, #ubuntu+1
[06:42] <icarus-c> 4GB-1bye limit
[06:42] <jdsbluedevl> well, nobody in +1 wants to help with my splash-screen issue.  Anyone here have an idea?
[06:42] <tensorpudding> mak69: but instead of installing you want to choose the "Try Ubunut without any change to your computer" option
[06:42] <Blackbird> icarus-c, unless you haul around masses of DVD-size disk images
[06:42] <pbondare> joint #ubuntuforums, #ubuntu+1
[06:42] <mak69> tensorpudding: okay, and then...will i be able to open gparted from there
[06:42] <Blackbird> one usually does not have that many files of that sort
[06:42] <pbondare> join #ubuntuforums, #ubuntu+1
[06:42] <genewitch> icarus-c: so that leaves out huge archives and blu-ray zips
[06:42] <mak69> tensorpudding: fine.......
[06:43] <Evil_Eric> thanks
[06:43] <Blackbird> oh, well in that case, go with NTFS, sure. Support'll be a bit sketchy, but it should work
[06:43] <isaias> hi, i installed xubuntu 10.04 and i want to install openoffice 3.2.1, but i dont know how, can someone tell me how to do it???
[06:43] <antIP> icarus-c I've heard good things about butterFS, when is that coming?
[06:43] <icarus-c> antIP, you meant btrfs ?
[06:43] <MrKeuner> which file is good to write iptables commands to be run at each boot time?
[06:44] <mak69> tensorpudding: okay then shall i go for it
[06:44] <icarus-c> MrKeuner, iptable.rules
[06:44] <xangua> isaias: download it from openoffice.org
[06:44] <Lord_Nightmare> genewitch: did you do ctrl-alt-F2 then ctrl-alt-F7?
[06:44] <Lord_Nightmare> if f1 is broken, f2 works fine
[06:45] <bullgard4_> [Ubuntu 10.04.1 after resume-from-ram] '~$ mount;  /dev/sdc1 on /media/WD1.5_1 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks).' but there is no drivemount-applet to be seen. Is this a bug?
[06:45] <isaias> xangua: i already did that but its tar.gz??
[06:45] <MrKeuner> icarus-c, I do not have that file somehow
[06:45] <icarus-c> MrKeuner, in /etc/iptables ?
[06:45] <Phr3ak_> iptables rocks!
[06:45] <tensorpudding> mak69: you need to run gparted from the cd, because you're resizing your ubuntu partition
[06:45] <Sikth_> Hey Guys, I'm kind of in some hot water. One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot be mounted:/:waitiing for /dev/disk/by-uuid/0641f685-848b-40db-9f5d-8d900e6d9bd2 /tmp:waiting for (null) :waiting for 0 press escape to enter a recovery shell
[06:46] <mak69> tensorpudding: okay...a very thank you for your help
[06:46] <MrKeuner> icarus-c, there is no /etc/iptables on my system, lucid
[06:46] <mak69> tensorpudding: will catch u later
[06:46] <xangua> isaias: easier if you download the deb file
[06:46] <icarus-c> MrKeuner, i mean /etc/iptables.rules
[06:46] <icarus-c> MrKeuner, does command "locate iptables.rules" show anything?
[06:46] <MrKeuner> icarus-c, bash: cd: /etc/iptables.rules: No such file or directory
[06:46] <xangua> i believ you need to first uninstall openoffice from repositories
[06:46] <isaias> its not deb
[06:47] <MrKeuner> icarus-c, no
[06:47] <Phr3ak_> you have to save it from its script, that iptables.rules
[06:47] <icarus-c> MrKeuner, do you have iptables installed
[06:47] <antIP> icarus-c - I've always heard it pronounced butterFS so I thought that's what it was.
[06:47] <isaias> xubunto dont come witn openoffice
[06:47] <Phr3ak_> iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules
[06:47] <icarus-c> antIP, meh it is short for  B-Tree File system :P
[06:47] <jdsbluedevl> well, nobody in +1 wants to help with my splash-screen issue.  Anyone here have an idea?
[06:48] <MrKeuner> icarus-c, I can run the command just fine
[06:48] <xangua> isaias: then download the deb
[06:48] <Phr3ak_> and if you run with ALT + F2 -> gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[06:48] <antIP> icarus-c thanks. I'm formatting to ext4 now.
[06:48] <Phr3ak_> put after: iface lo inet loopback
[06:49] <Phr3ak_> pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules
[06:49] <Phr3ak_> post-down iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.downrules
[06:49] <isaias> can you teach me how?
[06:49] <Phr3ak_> then youre iptables script is always up and running
[06:49] <Phr3ak_> at boot time
[06:49] <MrKeuner> icarus-c, 1.4.4-2 is installed
[06:50] <xangua> isaias: you download it from openoffice.org
[06:51] <isaias> but im telling you, i cant find deb only tar.gz
[06:51] <misterme> how do you change the mirror in ubuntu
[06:52] <Phr3ak_> evryone has  left ?
[06:52] <xangua> isaias: then extract it and read the instructions to install it
[06:52] <Phr3ak_> ./configure && make && make install &&  make clean
[06:52] <Sikth_> I haven't left, lol
[06:52] <isaias> ok thanks ill do it
[06:52] <Phr3ak_> just checking!
[06:53] <MrKeuner> Phr3ak_, wouldn't modifying network/interfaces break network manager?
[06:53] <MooshiMuushi> misterme, System --> Admin --> Software Sources.
[06:53] <Phr3ak_> nope, it wont break it
[06:53] <MooshiMuushi> MrKeuner, Yes.
[06:53] <MooshiMuushi> Phr3ak_, It doesn't?
[06:53] <Phr3ak_> it only saves or restores youre iptables scripty
[06:53] <Phr3ak_> nope, it doenst
[06:53] <Phr3ak_> at least not over here ;-)
[06:54] <ubuntu_904_usr> hi everybody! I have problems with my GUI on Ubuntu 9.04. I have tried with:  dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  and  dpkg-reconfigure gdm  but doesn't work :-(  what you could recommend me to try?  (thaks in advance)
[06:54] <Phr3ak_> any one over here, who has expierence with cloud / landscape computing ?
[06:54] <MooshiMuushi> Phr3ak_, Never heard.
[06:55] <Phr3ak_> i meant this stuff: http://www.canonical.com/enterprise-services/ubuntu-advantage/landscape
[06:55] <Phr3ak_> i've just bought the whole package from Canonical in the UK
[06:56] <onryo> Gör så här cvs -qd anoncvs@anoncvs1.usa.openbsd.org:/cvs get -rOPENBSD_4_7 -P src glöm inte Xen!
[06:56] <MrKeuner> Phr3ak_, if I do not use iptables-save and just write the iptables command in iptables.rules, would that work?
[06:56] <onryo> sorry wrong chat lol
[06:56] <Phr3ak_> yes, if you write a running iptables script with -> iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules
[06:57] <MooshiMuushi> No idea.
[06:57] <Phr3ak_> then you can restore it with youre  network script:
[06:57] <onryo> Oh cool your working on IPTs
[06:57] <Phr3ak_> pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules
[06:57] <Phr3ak_> post-down iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.downrules
[06:57] <Phr3ak_> you can add the iptables save command, ad the end of youre script
[06:57] <onryo> You should give PSAD with FWsnort a try are working on a good firewall in Linux
[06:57] <Phr3ak_> if you want to ;-)
[06:58]  * Phr3ak_ write his own firewall(s) .. no GUI needed for :P
[06:58] <MrKeuner> Phr3ak_, iptables-save has a bunch of lines there all of which I might not need, I just need one line there, I was asking if it would be OK not to use iptables-save and just simply write the single iptables command I need in there
[06:58] <onryo> lol, I don't have a xserver
[06:58] <Phr3ak_> whats the command you want to use ?
[06:59] <MrKeuner> iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s <IP_ADDRESS>/24 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
[06:59] <Phr3ak_> you can use ofcourse use a single command with iptables
[06:59] <Phr3ak_> iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s <IP_ADDRESS>/8 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
[06:59] <Phr3ak_> is better
[06:59] <Phr3ak_> ;)
[07:00] <MrKeuner> Phr3ak_, simply write in the file, or do I need lines like :PREROUTING ACCEPT [3880:505915] etc
[07:00] <Phr3ak_> but, if you want a single iptables rule
[07:00] <Phr3ak_> flush all the other rules first
[07:00] <Phr3ak_> $IPTABLES -F
[07:00] <Phr3ak_> $IPTABLES -t nat -F
[07:00] <Phr3ak_> $IPTABLES -t mangle -F
[07:00] <FloodBot1> Phr3ak_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:00] <Phr3ak_> $IPTABLES -X
[07:00] <Phr3ak_> $IPTABLES -t nat -X
[07:00] <Phr3ak_> $IPTABLES -t mangle -X
[07:01] <hungryhubby> which im client for ubuntu has most of features as yahoo messenger
[07:01] <xangua> maybe gyachi
[07:01] <xorwhy> I'm using Cario-dock and the refresh rate will not go above 40. It simply will not allow it. What is the general location of configuration files in Linux?
[07:02] <linzhavon> Phr3ak: do you know how to find ip through MAC address which not in the LAN environment?
[07:02] <onryo> Phr3ak I sent you a nice bash script
[07:02] <onryo> for IPTs
[07:02] <onryo> BitchX
[07:02] <onryo> J/K this X-Client is really easy

[07:02] <FloodBot1> onryo: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:02] <onryo> That is a layer 2 thing but I guess you could use Nessus or SAINT
[07:03] <aioobe> hi! I'm after an ftp-client with a button that says something like "upload files that have been modified since last update"
[07:03] <aioobe> or similar
[07:03] <sakekasi> hello
[07:04] <Phr3ak_> this is my iptables script i use: -> http://paste.ubuntu.com/504916/
[07:04] <sakekasi> I need some advice. I tried to dual boot ubuntu on my laptop with win7 and they didnt play very well together.
[07:04] <Phr3ak_> it also blocks ICMP traffic, but you can dissable it if you dont want it
[07:04] <sakekasi> I am considering  dualbooting with the new release
[07:04] <onryo> VMplayer
[07:04] <sakekasi> should I?
[07:04] <linzhavon>  do you know how to find ip through MAC address which not in the LAN environment?
[07:05] <onryo> Not that I know of. I know that you can you Airmon-ng for wifi
[07:05] <onryo> and get the BSSID or SSID
[07:05] <Phr3ak_> iptables -A INPUT -m mac --mac-source 00:0F:EA:91:04:08 -j DROP
[07:06] <Phr3ak_> but maybe its better to setup a change, with trusted mac's
[07:06] <Phr3ak_> and deny all the others
[07:06] <onryo> macchanger -r would end that
[07:06] <Phr3ak_> iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 22 -m mac --mac-source
[07:06] <Phr3ak_> 00:0F:EA:91:04:07 -j ACCEPT
[07:06] <icarus-c> linzhavon, probably you can't.  that's why we need TCP/IP for internet after all
[07:07] <Phr3ak_> all traffic with tcp/ip can be filtered
[07:07] <linzhavon> icarus-c: got it.
[07:07] <onryo> yeah layer 3 and 4 your asking for a layer 2 thing
[07:07] <Phr3ak_> thats why *nix was designed for the internet, and windows doesnt
[07:07] <Phr3ak_> ;-)
[07:07] <hongry_> hi folks
[07:07] <Phr3ak_> hi
[07:07] <icarus-c> Phr3ak_, Windows got no internet support till late 90s if i remember correctly..
[07:07] <linzhavon> icarus-c: thank u.
[07:07] <xorwhy> Haha that was easy enough.
[07:07] <onryo> Its hard as hell to ARP poison *nix networks
[07:08] <Phr3ak_> the tcp/ip stack in windows is still stolen from bsd
[07:08] <hongry_> I am having  a bit of trouble with the ubuntu 10.04.1 installer not seeing /dev/sda (an NTFS drive currently).  it only sees my /dev/sdb , which is a gentoo drive.  Can anyone tell me how to make the installer see my /dev/sda ?
[07:08] <onryo> Mac did that same Phr3ak
[07:08] <hongry_> oh, if I run fdisk -l in command prompt it sees the drive that way.
[07:09] <onryo> yeah you can hongry
[07:09] <Blackbird> icarus-c: maybe you mean USB support?
[07:09] <Phr3ak_> mac is running bsd under the gui
[07:09] <Phr3ak_> well, actually a crippled bsd flavour
[07:09] <onryo> lsusb
[07:09] <Blackbird> which got retroactively implemented into win95 somewhere around 97 or 98. It's weird. I've seen copies of win95 with "NOW WITH USB SUPPORT" on the cover
[07:10] <Phr3ak_> thats correct
[07:10] <Phr3ak_> the first versions had no or a crappy usb support
[07:10] <Blackbird> no internet support is kind of silly, y'know
[07:10] <Blackbird> since I could get on the internet just fine on 3.11
[07:10] <Phr3ak_> later on, they adjust that into a correct implementation
[07:10] <Phr3ak_> but oke .. what iam talking about
[07:10] <Blackbird> NT got no love, though. Anyway, go on.
[07:10] <RudyValencia> Hi, I'm having difficulty setting up MIDI on my installation (10.04 "Lucid Lynx" desktop).

[07:11] <sakekasi> I need some advice. I tried to dual boot ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop with win7 and they didnt play very well together. I am considering  dualbooting with the new release. should I?
[07:11] <Phr3ak_> and 2 days with windows 7
[07:11] <bullgard4_> [Ubuntu 10.04.1 after resume-from-ram] '~$ mount;  /dev/sdc1 on /media/WD1.5_1 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks).' but there is no drivemount-applet to be seen. Is this a bug?
[07:11] <Blackbird> sakekasi: Um, I believe it should work fine.
[07:11]  * Phr3ak_ was using linux a long time before the moste people even heard of it :)
[07:12] <Phr3ak_> goes back in to the early 90's
[07:12] <Blackbird> GRUB should not be much of an issue. I haven't tried installing it in a while.
[07:12] <sakekasi> Blackbird thanks for the reassurance
[07:12] <bazhang> !ot > Phr3ak_
[07:12] <pksadiq> Phr3ak_ are You the architect ?:)
[07:12] <Blackbird> sakekasi: at any rate, so long as you install windows first and /then/ ubuntu, theoretically GRUB should not prove problematic
[07:12] <Blackbird> that's the main reported issue, I believe.
[07:13] <Phr3ak_> no, iam not THE architect .. that credit is still going to L. Torvalds ;)
[07:13] <sakekasi> thats what i did but grub messed up. Then my hd got a bunch of bad sectors
[07:13] <Phr3ak_> but ocasionly ive sent some bug fixes
[07:13] <Phr3ak_> mostly kernel and packet filtering related
[07:13] <Blackbird> Hmmm. And you did the whole recovery console master boot record clean and all that?
[07:13] <bazhang> Phr3ak_, you were asked to stop offtopic chat
[07:13] <Blackbird> bad sectors might be the HD itself, have you clead those up yet, sakekasi?
[07:14] <Blackbird> *cleaned
[07:14] <pksadiq> How to fix MBR with Ubuntu live CD?
[07:14] <Blackbird> pksadiq: Windows MBR, yes?
[07:14] <onryo> What not just use VMware 7.2 with windows. Much better then messing with the hard drives.
[07:15] <linzhavon> anyone uses Ubuntu's hibernate function?
[07:15] <onryo> nope
[07:15] <mac-> onryo: I didn`t do that ;p
[07:15] <Blackbird> onryo: Some people just want it actually installed, or need faster performance.
[07:15] <Blackbird> or have computers with 256 megs of RAM which can't really spare enough for a VM
[07:15] <linzhavon> Ubuntu's hibernate function seems not to be highly effecient,do you agree?
[07:15] <hongry_> Does anyone know how to make the ubuntu 10.04.1 installer see my /dev/sda ?  right now its only seeing my /dev/sdb.  any help would be greatly appreciated.
[07:16] <pksadiq> Blackbird, Installed Ubuntu once a Year ago, later I installed plop Boot manager to boot my computer from USB, but that messed up my Hard disk, and I had to use Windows XP repair to repair my Hard Disk :(
[07:17] <AbhiJit> !ask | linzhavon
[07:17] <canthiswait> this registration thing is annoing, I log in with my password but I still get pushed to #ubuntu-unregged
[07:18] <Blackbird> pksadiq: that isn't exactly the best repairer. I'd recommend a better one, but it's a bit of a difficult one.
[07:18] <onryo> hongry are you using a "desk-top" on your box ie Gnome? If you are you should see your USB like "plug and pray"
[07:18] <pksadiq> Blackbird , But still I have to idea how to repair from ubuntu Live CD
[07:19] <pksadiq> Blackbird , But still I have no idea how to repair from ubuntu Live CD
[07:19] <Blackbird> pksadiq: Ýou can't. Well. You probably /can/ but I don't know any good tools.
[07:19] <xorwhy> Wow cario-dock is cool now.
[07:19] <dos000> i had a warning in firefox when it tried to open a file and i clicke always use the default application. Now i cant get tha dialog box displayed again. anyone know which setting this is under about:config ?
[07:19] <hongry_> onryo:  I'm installing via dvd.  what about the usb?
[07:20] <onryo> You want to install from USB I take it?
[07:20] <onryo> There is a built in USB installer for making a USB key in Lucid
[07:20] <maheshmohan> how to boot ubuntu boot iso from hard disk for installation?
[07:20] <Blackbird> pksadiq: the MBR itself can only really be fixed from the actual windows install disk
[07:21] <Blackbird> pksadiq: the HD's bad sectors though...hold on, let me see the options you have
[07:21] <hongry_> onryo:  no, I want it the installer to see my /dev/sda (sata disk 1)
[07:22] <hongry_> its only seeing /dev/sdb (sata disk 2)
[07:22] <pksadiq> Blackbird ok
[07:24] <onryo> You need to make a boot disk for your Ubuntu... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[07:24] <Blackbird> pksadiq: You can't really "fix" the bad sectors
[07:24] <Blackbird> pksadiq: the most you can do is remap the drive to avoid them, you see
[07:25] <pksadiq> Blackbird I'm not asking to fix BadSectors, But to fix the damaged Partition Table
[07:25] <Blackbird> pksadiq: ...ohhhhh. well. That might actually be possible.
[07:26] <pksadiq> Blackbird How?
[07:26] <onryo> did you try fdisk -l
[07:26] <windowshasyou> why is canonical financially supporting ubuntu now?
[07:26] <onryo> and make sure it is there?
[07:26] <maheshmohan>  how to boot ubuntu boot iso from hard disk for installation?
[07:26] <Blackbird> yeah that's one way, what onryo said
[07:26] <Blackbird> I just thought you were trying something quite impossible, sorry!
[07:26] <AbhiJit> maheshmohan, use unetbootin
[07:26] <onryo> you just pop in a dvd and boot from dvd
[07:26] <windowshasyou> Is it really that bad that some corp has to step in and bail it out?
[07:26] <AbhiJit> maheshmohan, do you mean that you want ubuntu iso in the same hdd in where want to install ubuntu?
[07:26] <maheshmohan> AbhiJit, nope. I want to boot the iso from hardisk
[07:27] <bazhang> windowshasyou, please take chat to #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:27] <AbhiJit> maheshmohan, yah unetbootin does the thing
[07:27] <onryo> http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[07:27] <onryo> that is what I was talking about before
[07:27] <AbhiJit> !who | onryo
[07:27] <windowshasyou> bazhang: I'd really like to know
[07:28] <pksadiq> fdisk shows that there are some partitions but I can't mount them, when I try to isntall Ubuntu says I have no partitions
[07:28] <bazhang> windowshasyou, it has nothing to do with ubuntu technical support; #ubuntu-offtopic please
[07:28] <RudyValencia> Oh great.
[07:28] <RudyValencia> Rosegarden doesn't work on this system
[07:28] <Sikth_> Whats the website where I can post long things and then post it here?
[07:28] <AbhiJit> !paste | SikEnCide
[07:28] <AbhiJit> :(
[07:28] <AbhiJit> Sikth_, ^^^
[07:28] <RudyValencia> When I tried to save my work it closed
[07:28] <Blackbird> pksadiq: What filesystem are those partitions?
[07:29] <RudyValencia> And I can't get qsynth to work right with it
[07:29] <Blackbird> that shouldn't do much, but, just for the record
[07:29] <RudyValencia> :(
[07:29] <windowshasyou> bazhang: I think it has everything to do with ubantu and its "support"
[07:29] <Sikth_> Thanks!
[07:29] <Richiie> What kind of mailbox list do ppl here use?
[07:29] <RudyValencia> I guess I'll have to go back to XP then
[07:29] <RudyValencia> :/
[07:29] <Richiie> Mailbox List for Evolution mail / Indicator applet session, any tip ?
[07:30] <pksadiq> Blackbird first one ext4 and all the rest NTFS
[07:31] <pksadiq> !help | pksadiq
[07:31] <Blackbird> hm, that's odd. That should theoretically work.

[07:45] <gaelfx> Am I the only one whose CD drive responds remarkably slow whenever I put any kind of disc in?
[07:45] <ubuntu_> Hello there. Since 10hours I do a backup by dd. The speed decreasing. dont know why.  => http://pastebin.org/15782
[07:47] <cjae> do I have to bring mu ethernet card down to be able to pass commands to my wireless card?
[07:47] <ubuntu_> Using Sata. both times.
[07:48] <cjae> my
[07:48] <gaelfx> perhaps I should have rephrased that, I seem to be having troubles with my DVD-drive, no matter what kind of disc I put in, it always takes entirely too long for the disc to pop up on the desktop or for me to be able to do anything to the disc, is this a common problem or do I need to fix something?
[07:48] <waterbourne> are there hardware raid cards with completely open drivers?
[07:49] <TiK> gaelfx: I have eperianced no such problem
[07:49] <TiK> experianced
[07:49] <waterbourne> experienced
[07:50] <gaelfx> well, thanks at least for some kind of response
[07:50] <bazhang> waterbourne, ##hardware please
[07:51] <gaelfx> like, any time that I put a disc in, everything becomes really laggy, like thirty seconds+ to respond to a simple click
[07:51] <waterbourne> how about: are there hardware raid cards with completely open drivers that work with ubuntu?
[07:51] <bazhang> waterbourne, check the hcl
[07:51] <bazhang> !hcl > waterbourne
[07:51] <waterbourne> interesting, thanks
[07:52] <sun> hello,everyone
[07:52] <earthling_> Evince no longer opens PDFs, it says opening for a few seconds and then nothing, how to fix? I think one of the updates may have effected it
[07:52] <sun> pdfs broken!?
[07:53] <earthling_> yes
[07:53] <earthling_> hi sun
[07:53] <sun> hello earthling
[07:54] <pmjp> hello people
[07:54] <earthling_> hi pmjp
[07:54] <pmjp> whats up
[07:54] <romond> What package to load for adobe flash 10? using flashplayer-mozilla now but it only supports flash 9.5 with it
[07:54] <juk> is there something like unoconv but standalone, working without oo, not abiword, it can render pics
[07:55] <gaelfx> romond: as I recall, the best way is to download the latest from adobe's website and throw it in the plugins folder for firefox
[07:55] <juk> is there something like unoconv but standalone, working without oo, not abiword, it can *not* render pics
[07:56] <mkquist> gaelfx: linux does well with cd/dvd drives, might just be failing...
[07:56] <prabhu> hi iam using pavilion DV6 notebook with 1GB ATI mobilit graphics card when i update my driver i cant login to ubuntu
[07:56] <romond> gaelfx: will that not destabilise a system which only uses approved packages?
[07:56] <coolsan> hi people
[07:56] <pmjp> hi coolsan
[07:56] <prabhu> is there any way to update my graphics driver
[07:56] <prabhu> iam using ubuntu10.04
[07:56] <coolsan> pmjp: i have a problem
[07:57] <blackcow> hello
[07:57] <gaelfx> mkquist: it's a totally new drive though, I would really hope it's not failing
[07:57] <romond> gaelfx: how about flashplugin-nonfree?
[07:57] <mkquist> gaelfx: only problems I have had are from failing hardware, do you have windows to check it?
[07:57] <coolsan> pmjp: i add notification area in panel but i cant see volume and network
[07:57] <TiK> gaelfx: if its new RMA it
[07:57] <blackcow> is it possible to change your user login name on your ubuntu box without messing things up?
[07:57] <pmjp> whats your system coolsan
[07:57] <mkquist> gaelfx: well hardware usually fails fast or after a long time..
[07:58] <coolsan> ubuntu 10.04
[07:58] <coolsan> pmjp: ubuntu 10.04
[07:58] <prabhu> hi iam using pavilion DV6 notebook with 1GB ATI mobilit graphics card when i update my driver i cant login to ubuntu my question is how can i update my graphics drivers?
[07:58] <pmjp> have you logged out and back in again?
[07:59] <gaelfx> TiK: I live in China, bought at the electronics market, I don't think they really understand the concept of RMA
[07:59] <gaelfx> mkquist: good point
[07:59] <pmjp> I myself had a one off on the network icon where it didnt load
[07:59] <TiK> gaelfx: bring it back and tell them its broken
[07:59] <coolsan> prabhu: u need to install restricted drivers
[07:59] <TiK> !resetpanels
[08:00] <coolsan> pmjp: what??/
[08:00] <mkquist> gaelfx: such not a problem the I doubt you'll actually find much on it.  I think thats a testament to how they usually just work
[08:00] <rodd> hi
[08:00] <pmjp> yeah do what ubottu said hehe
[08:00] <pmjp> hi rodd
[08:00] <mkquist> gaelfx: *that sorry
[08:00] <rodd> im on a vaio laptop series E, the sound is too slow
[08:00] <prabhu> coolsan:how to do it
[08:01] <rodd> everything is in the max but i still can barely hear the sounds
[08:01] <coolsan> prabhu: open your terminal and paste 'jockey-gtk'
[08:01] <|2exx> does anyone know how to format a hard drive?
[08:02] <|2exx> I plus mine in over USB and it doesn't mount
[08:02] <|2exx> factory fresh
[08:02] <rodd> any idea anyone?
[08:02] <pmjp> well you could use parted magic
[08:02] <|2exx> ...
[08:02] <Blackbird> gpart should let you do that easily enough, |2exx
[08:02] <|2exx> gpart
[08:02] <mkquist> rodd: have you looked at alsa?  Like google it?
[08:02] <Blue1> |2exx: gparted or fdisk
[08:02] <pmjp> yeah that too
[08:02] <mkquist> !alsa
[08:02] <Blackbird> gparted, sorry. That one's easier to work with, generally.
[08:02] <rodd> i am right now
[08:02] <Blackbird> Unless you have a gigantic USB drive you should be fine.
[08:03] <|2exx> 1TB
[08:03] <Blue1> Blackbird: I am not sure I could use fdisk anymore...
[08:03] <xerxes_> coolsan:it opens  hardware driver
[08:03] <Blackbird> |2exx: it'll take at most half an hour. Just don't try to resize the partitions.
[08:03] <Blackbird> Then you'll be there all day.
[08:03] <|2exx> cool
[08:03] <|2exx> I'll give it a whirl
[08:03] <Blackbird> I have a 1TB one too and good god it took forever
[08:04] <|2exx> nothing even pops up though when I plug it in
[08:04] <pmjp> got to restart just updated brb
[08:04] <Blackbird> best bet is to wipe everything and redo the partition map from scratch, which might still take the better part of an hour, but eh
[08:04] <|2exx> do I have to do something in fstab?
[08:04] <prabhu> coolsan:it opens Hardware Drivers
[08:04] <Sikth_> Whats wrong with this http://paste.linuxassist.net/215438
[08:04] <coolsan> yeah now activate your graphic driver
[08:04] <Blackbird> also it shouldn't pop up automatically, I don't think is usually does, |2exx
[08:04] <|2exx> thanks Blackbird
[08:04] <Blackbird> what was the command to show all current  drives with fdisk again? I forget.
[08:05] <Blackbird> that should tell you which one it is and you can mount it, etc.
[08:05] <Blackbird> gparted should see it regardless
[08:05] <moetunes> sudo fdisk -l

[08:20] <terminhell> recursively remove it
[08:20] <Blue1> ugliefrog: sudo apt-get --purge
[08:20] <Blue1> they need a pkill -9 command.
[08:21] <Dynetrekk> hm. shotwell (and gphoto2) says my camera is locked because another application is using it. how can I determine which process is locking the camera? I have closed all windows
[08:21] <nope> lsof might help
[08:22] <Dynetrekk> nope: lsof | grep what?
[08:22] <mawst> Dynetrekk, unmount before trying to use it with those apps.
[08:22] <coolsan> hey prabhu you should login in recovery mode
[08:22] <Dynetrekk> mawst: turning the camera off and on again should do that, right?
[08:22] <Dynetrekk> mawst: it is not mounted btw, not as a disk anyway
[08:22] <nope> Dynetrekk: it would automount when you turn it back on
[08:22] <nope> run a mount in cli
[08:22] <ugliefrog> i did this ---->sudo apt-get --purge mythtv...and got this----->E:Invalid operation mythtv
[08:22] <nope> and then sudo umount /dev/<cam>
[08:22] <mak69> ugliefrog: okay lat me try mythtv then and really thanks for the suggestion. hope you get what you looking for
[08:23] <Dynetrekk> nope: where would it mount?
[08:23] <ugliefrog> mak69, me too
[08:23] <Dynetrekk> nope: it does not mount as a USB disk would, I can't see it in the file system
[08:23] <gorski> what's about that floppy mount?
[08:24] <mawst> Dynetrekk, probably under /media
[08:24] <gorski> why doesn't floppy mount?
[08:24] <Dynetrekk> mawst:  nothing there
[08:24] <Dynetrekk> mawst: (only cdrom and cdrom0)
[08:25] <mak69> how do i remove tvtime completely?

[08:32] <technikfreak> does anyone know ones?
[08:32] <Dynetrekk> technikfreak: not sure, but I suspect audacity does stuff like this
[08:32] <sun> ubuntu
[08:32] <technikfreak> i will check thanks
[08:34] <gyk> 大 家 好 ,有 中 文頻道吗
[08:34] <pmjp> see ya later friends
[08:35] <Ryen> !cn | gyk
[08:36] <Dynetrekk> I have an internal memory card reader, nothing shows up when I stick an SD card into it. any idea on how to check if the card reader is detected, or how to mount the SD card?
[08:37] <technikfreak> mh under /dev/
[08:37] <technikfreak> it should be a folder
[08:38] <Dynetrekk> technikfreak: but which one?
[08:38] <sync3times> Dynetrekk, dmesg
[08:38] <Dynetrekk> sync3times: the folder name is dmesg?
[08:38] <sync3times> Dynetrekk, dmesg will give you output and you can see whether the kernel detected the card insertion
[08:39] <iksik> hello
[08:39] <ubuntu> Olá
[08:39] <moetunes> !es
[08:39] <ubuntu> alguem fala porrtugues aqui?
[08:39] <moetunes> !pt
[08:40] <Dynetrekk> sync3times: the "dmesg" output did not change before/after card insertion. that's all I am able to read from the output...
[08:41] <iksik> is there any audio software which can remove some kind of silent points ( these are caused by 'buffering' while recording from radio )  from mp3 file ? :)
[08:42] <sync3times> Dynetrekk, Its possible that the kernel has no drivers for your reader.
[08:43] <sync3times> iksik, audacity can cut mp3 files
[08:44] <MooshiMuushi> Hey everyone, I have problem. Can someone help out? :D
[08:45] <zeating> can someone help me with this touchpad problem
[08:45] <zeating> been looking for a solution forever
[08:45] <MooshiMuushi> zeating, AH! Now that you reminded me :D
[08:45] <MooshiMuushi> zeating, I have that problem too :)
[08:45] <zeating> what problem do you have?
[08:46] <zeating> mine is that i cant disable it because ubuntu doens't recongnize it as a touchpad, it thinks its a generic ps2 wheel mouse
[08:46] <MooshiMuushi> zeating, Touchpad won't work even tho it is enabled, and another one.
[08:46] <zeating> doesnt work at all?
[08:46] <iksik> sync3times, i don't want to cut it, i want to remove these 'silent points'
[08:47] <MooshiMuushi> zeating, Yeah, even tho it is enabled.
[08:47] <MooshiMuushi> Well, it does work at the login screen. Then it stops when I login ^^"
[08:47] <zeating>  weird
[08:48] <zeating> oh really
[08:48] <zeating> not sure, i'm a total ubuntu noob. started using it like 2 days ago
[08:48] <zeating> x)
[08:48] <sync3times> iksik, you want to cut out the silent parts.  audacity can do that
[08:48] <iksik> hm
[08:48] <iksik> ok
[08:48] <MooshiMuushi> zeating, Oh really? Welcome to the Open Source community :)
[08:49] <zeating> thanks :D

[09:00] <Zeating> "Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?" what can i do about this? i'm pretty sure its installed and my touchpad is made by elantech ...
[09:01] <terminhell> Zeating: check your xorg.conf
[09:01] <ysk> how could i turn it on?
[09:01] <Zeating> i dont have a xorg.conf
[09:01] <ysk> in sound preference what do i have to do mate
[09:01] <sync3times> ysk, find a mixer program ,   you can try alsamixer   but its not very friendly
[09:02] <ysk> ok
[09:02] <Zeating> ok well nvm, i do have an xorg.conf but it only has like 3 sections
[09:02] <Zeating> and nothing about input
[09:02] <Zeating> just screen, module, and device
[09:02] <MooshiMuushi> Zeating, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/549727?comments=all

[09:03] <sync3times> ysk,  thats hard.  you want to make a linux part bigger?
[09:03] <Zeating> thanks, bye
[09:03] <ysk> yes
[09:03] <terminhell> ysk: you'll have to be unmounted from the partition
[09:04] <Zeating> what should i do about my xorg.conf file
[09:04] <terminhell> easiest way would be to do it from a live cd or something
[09:04] <ysk> C drive had 112 gb
[09:04] <sync3times> ysk, is there unallocated space on the hard disk?

[09:04] <ysk> nah
[09:04] <mohan1111> Hi
[09:04] <sync3times> ysk,  is there windows on the machine?
[09:05] <ysk> yes
[09:05] <ysk> C has windows and D has ubuntu
[09:05] <sync3times> ysk,  what do you want to use the extra space for?
[09:05] <mohan1111> I get this after i login : Enter password to unlock your login keyring. This is the only account in this computer.
[09:05] <ysk> C has 112 gb and rest is on D
[09:05] <terminhell> mohan1111: dont forget about Root....
[09:06] <lxrmido> .
[09:06] <ysk> for ubuntu
[09:06] <mohan1111> terminhell: This is the only account on this ubuntu. so isn't this the admin account?
[09:06] <sync3times> ysk ,  you can mount the windows partition and use some space there.   You would not have to reformat your whole machine then
[09:06] <ysk> how to do that mount thing
[09:06] <sync3times> ysk, but its not good for general space like software.
[09:06] <terminhell> mohan1111: no, the single user account you see is a "super user" account. But there is still a root account inherent in all distro's
[09:07] <terminhell> mohan1111: ubuntu just hides the root account on purpose
[09:07] <sync3times> ysk, you will have to research that a little, I cant help you.
[09:07] <mohan1111> terminhell: ok.
[09:07] <ysk> oll rite
[09:07] <mohan1111> terminhell: but why do i get this which i didn't before?
[09:07] <Jigal> any ide's http://superuser.com/questions/195298/update-php-on-ubuntu-from-5-3-2-to-5-3-3
[09:07] <Chaos2358> can anyone tell me why my videos arent showing up as thumbnails only icons?
[09:07] <ysk> no worries thanks bro
[09:07] <sync3times> ysk, welcome
[09:07] <terminhell> mohan1111: you must have enabled the keyring thing...idk i never really use it
[09:07] <ysk> bye
[09:08] <mohan1111> Chaos2358: Change it on nautilus top right ?
[09:08] <lxrmido> I m feeling chaos```
[09:08] <mohan1111> Chaos2358: on the top portion of nautilus.. change it to thumbnail view
[09:09] <mohan1111> How do i disable the keyring ?
[09:09] <Chaos2358> mohan1111 nautilus? is that the default file system?
[09:09] <terminhell> Chaos2358: nautilius is a file browser
[09:09] <Chaos2358> mohan1111 no thats not what im talking about
[09:10] <mohan1111> Chaos2358: Sorry.
[09:10] <Chaos2358> it is showing in the thumbnail form but only as icons not as preview like a still shot from the video like it should
[09:12] <seb_> Hi folks. Anyone here know the current state of the art regarding sound, esp. in Ubuntu? Is it still alsa, or would pulseaudio be the best/most future-proof way of recording audio? I ask because I want to investigate hacking xvidcap to move beyond the OSS sound capture it's currently using.
[09:13] <bullgard4_> [Ubuntu 10.04.1 after resume-from-ram] '~$ mount;  /dev/sdc1 on /media/WD1.5_1 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks).' but there is no drivemount-applet to be seen. Is this a bug?
[09:13] <mak69> moetunes: command line option 'p' [from -purge] is not known i received such an error while trying to remove
[09:13] <lxrmido> 1215 users
[09:14] <moetunes> mak69:  my bad it is --purge
[09:15] <terminhell> seb_: ya, alsa isnt going anywhere anytime soon
[09:16] <seb_> terminhell: So pulseaudio would be the API to look into?
[09:17] <seb_> terminhell: You see I need to make some tutorial videos for my company's products and I really don't want to be reduced to using that other OS to do it!
[09:17] <terminhell> seb_: nono i mean, its a solid investment
[09:17] <airtonix> seb_, what is the problem ?
[09:17] <seb_> terminhell: Ah, great.
[09:18] <mak69> i am not able to install mythtv completely instead i receive error saying could not retrieve remaining packages....now how can i proceed further
[09:18] <mak69> moetunes: thanks for your help
[09:19] <moetunes> np:]
[09:20] <seb_> airtonix: xvidcap uses OSS for audio capture. OSS compatibility is becoming less common - my laptop doesn't seem to have it with a 2.6.35 kernel and in any case, on my PC, which _does_ have OSS compatibility installed xvidcap doesn't work for audio (though I think I could work around that by installing the Ubuntu 9.10 xvdcap .deb)
[09:21] <airtonix> seb_, pulseaudio has a legacy wrapper to deal with this kind of thing
[09:22] <airtonix> seb_, just like alsa had aoss to wrap oss progs in alsa, pulseaudio has padsp
[09:22] <seb_> airtonix: Does that allow you to use a pulseaudio-compatible program to record an OSS (/dev/dsp) source?
[09:22] <airtonix> "/usr/bin/padsp - redirect OSS audio devices to PulseAudio"
[09:22] <mak69> need help! why do i receive such error when i try things at terminal end....failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/......
[09:23] <seb_> airtonix: Ok, that's useful to know. But I want to write OSS out of xvidcap ideally.
[09:23] <airtonix> seb_, using "padsp xvidcap blah blah" makes xvidcap think you are using oss
[09:23] <airtonix> (well thats the idea anyway)
[09:23] <seb_> airtonix: Ah, I'll try that.
[09:24] <seb_> airtonix: That could really help.
[09:25] <seb_> Another question: The "Sound Preferences" dialog - is that a front-end to pulseaudio? Is it written using a pulseaudio api?
[09:25] <biston> hello, if i add some init.d with 'update-rc.d <init-file-name> defaults', where does the file-name get added and how to reverse the operation?
[09:25] <airtonix> seb_, not sure, but i assume it interfaces with DBUS instead
[09:26] <airtonix> seb_, you might like to install the other pulseaudio tools like padevchooser
[09:26] <biston> ah found it, nvm
[09:26] <mak69> need help! why do i receive such error when i try things at terminal end....failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/......
[09:26] <seb_> airtonix: Thanks. I'll try that stuff. Got to go afk for a bit now, my son wants to play on the computer :)
[09:26] <pk4r> Hello, I'd like to package a few LAMP web applications ? Where do I begin with this ? I currently downloaded phpmyadmin's source hoping that it will help a bit..
[09:27] <slooksterpsv> Anyone awake in here? lol
[09:27] <terminhell> pk4r: what are you trying to do?
[09:27] <pk4r> terminhell, package a few PHP web applications.
[09:28] <slooksterpsv> I have a rather odd question regarding patents and Ubuntu; would someone here have an idea in regards to?
[09:28] <pk4r> I'm following the official Ubuntu Packaging Guide but I assume there're more things to know when it comes to web apps.
[09:28] <airtonix> pk4r, what makes you think that ?
[09:28] <mak69> sudo apt-get update mythtv is this command valid?
[09:28] <terminhell> pk4r: try dpkg?
[09:29] <mak69> sudo apt-get update mythtv, is this command valid?
[09:29] <pk4r> airtonix, probably post-install configuration and dealing with different web servers could be the additional issue..
[09:30] <terminhell> mak69: yes
[09:30] <airtonix> pk4r, simply make it require one webserver ?
[09:30] <airtonix> pk4r, majority is going to have apache2 running
[09:31] <mak69> terminhell: but i receive 'the update command takes no argument' error
[09:31] <mak69> terminhell: need help
[09:31] <pk4r> Anyway is #ubuntu-devel a good place to ask for the packaging related questions ? I understand that this channel is more of a general topic

[09:33] <random-jellyfish> I have made a upgrade to ubuntu 10.04, and after it boots the networking applet doesn't show up in the menu bar, also I have to turn on the ethernet card manually with ifconfig because it's turned off by default...do you know why this happens?
[09:34] <lxrmido> 1227
[09:35] <DrDeeps> I believe you mean 1337
[09:35] <random-jellyfish> ?
[09:35] <littlec> hello
[09:35] <lxrmido> Here 's 1227
[09:35] <mak69> sudo apt-get update mythtv, is this command valid?
[09:35] <littlec> nice to meet you days
[09:36] <iflema> mak69 no.
[09:37] <mak69> iflema: can you please correct me
[09:37] <bt4> hi
[09:37] <iflema> mak69 are you running mythtv?
[09:37] <Sikth> Hi all, I get this error message at boot up.. "One or more of the mounts listed in /etc/fstab cannot be mounted:/:waitiing for /dev/disk/by-uuid/0641f685-848b-40db-9f5d-8d900e6d9bd2 /tmp:waiting for (null) :waiting for 0 press escape to enter a recovery shell"
[09:37] <Sikth> any ideas?
[09:38] <Sikth> Im on a live cd now
[09:39] <mert_d> someone can tell me please which files on ubuntu has the options of "open with" menu for different filetypes ?
[09:39] <mak69> iflema: tried to install through synap, but could not retrieve necessary file same was the condition in terminal received 'failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/...
[09:40] <mak69> iflema: now what do i do next?
[09:40] <shazzr> mert_d: Right click on the file, then properties, and then open with...so all files I guess?
[09:40] <iflema> mak69 did you do a sudo apt-get update before the attempted install?
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> mert_d:  i dont think its one file. its a database generated from the various .desktop files.  the ubuntu-tweak program has a consoladated front end to set a lot of those from one location. Which can be handy.
[09:41] <mert_d>  shazzr:  i know that. want an application to configure for all filetypes ... or i want which files on ubuntu (gnome) are making for this...
[09:41] <Dr_Willis> mert_d:  sounds like you shoudl check out 'ubuntu-tweak' then
[09:41] <mert_d> Dr_Willis: i tried ubuntu-tweak but it can not make many thinks. it is better to do one by one from nautilus :)
[09:42] <mak69> iflema: i tried it later and received same error 'failed to fetch.........'
[09:42] <mert_d>  Dr_Willis: i really need it :(
[09:42] <Dr_Willis> mert_d:  make many thinks? Huh?
[09:42] <iflema> mak69 you could change the download sources....
[09:42] <mert_d>  Dr_Willis: i mean it has not any feature. it can do what can do nautilus...
[09:42] <bat> hello
[09:43] <mak69> iflema: what source should i use now
[09:43] <beyecixramd> i accidentally removed my /tmp/ folder in an attempt to mount it in RAM, now the system refuses to boot, i assume i removed something important. For a start, it complaints about something with gconf, and the GDM screen has a black background and the default GNOME theme (windows classic-like) any ideas?
[09:43] <mert_d>  Dr_Willis: there is no another alternative for ubuntu-tweaks file types manager ?
[09:43] <iflema> mak69 desktop menu System / Administraion / Software Sources , just use the main and try setting it back another day....
[09:43] <Dr_Willis> mert_d:  it has them organized into a better layout..  Other then that. ive never noticed any other tools to let you change the ghings.
[09:44] <iflema> mak69 pick any really... pick one close to your location or select the main server....
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> mert_d:  Theres proberly somne gfonf settings to let you set the defaults, but ive never messed with the gconf editor for that part
[09:44] <mak69> iflema: i just tried out synap and the terminal but both went in vain, am not aware of any other sources
[09:44] <mert_d>  Dr_Willis: :( oh.... i had to find an application to do this job. or i will do themone by one from system files...
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> mert_d:  im not clear on what you are needing to do exactly.
[09:44] <beyecixramd> please, can someone help me? is it OK if i copy the /tmp/ folder from another ubuntu installation, with the same version?
[09:45] <mert_d>  Dr_Willis: can you please tell me which directories are system files for that ?
[09:45] <iflema> mak69 desktop menu System / Administraion / Software Sources , just use the main server and try setting it back another day....
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> mert_d:  its not a directory. the gconf stuff is gnomes version of the ssytem reguiestery.
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> mert_d:  there Might be some dirs that have some settings.. but ive never noticed any, They would be in the natutilus directories i imagine
[09:45] <mert_d>  Dr_Willis: ok. please tell me where the all files is ?
[09:46] <mert_d> Dr_Willis:  hmm i had to find them thank you!
[09:46] <Dr_Willis> !gconf
[09:46] <iflema> mak69 desktop menu System / Administraion / Software Sources , select were its labeled "Download from"
[09:47] <mert_d> Dr_Willis: you told me that you did not understand me. on my ubuntu even 7z or many many udio files are not asscociated with any applciation. but vlc can open most of them. i know.
[09:47] <mert_d> Dr_Willis: that is my problem. i will backup my system but before that i want to associate many application for many filetypes.
[09:48] <mak69> iflema: okay, i get you
[09:48] <biston> how can i reverse what "update-rc.d networking defaults" did? (the dhcp client is taking increasing boot time by well over 30 seconds when no cable is in ethernet adapter)
[09:48] <NicoleC> Hello
[09:48] <waterbourne> backing up your home directory should back up file associations
[09:48] <biston> s/taking //
[09:48] <mert_d> !gconf
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> mert_d:  the file --> /usr/share/applications/vlc.desktop
[09:49] <sunny1> Anyone know what ndesk-dbus-devel package is and how I can find it?
[09:49] <Dr_Willis> mert_d:  defines what default mimetypes are set for vlc by default
[09:49] <bartjuh> 'lo fellas
[09:49] <littlec> sunny1, you can find it in ubuntu's web
[09:49] <littlec> en, use google to search it
[09:49] <sunny1> littlec: Yea been trying that
[09:49] <beyecixramd> ubuntu stopped booting after i deleted the contents of the /etc/ directory, why?
[09:50] <biston> LOL!
[09:50] <beyecixramd> i meant /tmp/ lol./..
[09:50] <sunny1> littlec: Can only find ndesk-dbus, not the devel package
[09:50] <littlec> beyecixramd, those files are so important
[09:50] <littlec> you can't delete them
[09:50] <mert_d> Dr_Willis: there is no vlc.desktop file on that directory. i just have VLC MEDİA PLAYER which opens vlc media player applcaiton.
[09:50] <littlec> sunny1, en, so what do you want to do?
[09:50] <Dr_Willis> beyecixramd:  is the /tmp/ dir still there? but empty
[09:50] <beyecixramd> Dr_Willis: yep
[09:51] <Dr_Willis> mert_d:  odd.. try 'locate vlc.desktop' and see where yours is.
[09:51] <sunny1> littlec: Been trying to install SparkleShare, which has the ndesk-dbus-devel dependency
[09:51] <littlec> ok
[09:51] <biston> beyecixramd what is the exact error, i mean where is the bootup process halting?
[09:51] <littlec> sunny1, i know
[09:51] <beyecixramd> littlec: i would like to know why are important files located in a *temporary* folder
[09:51] <mert_d>  Dr_Willis: hmm you say me that to find where is the "vlc.desktop" file. please wait...
[09:51] <littlec> beyecixramd, .........., you said you delete files in /etc
[09:51] <beyecixramd> biston: GDM.   Found an archieved article that steps through How to Copy and Open Links into xchat via Firefox.  Followed instructions exactly, and still having problems launching xchat from the link.  It keeps using Mibbit, which is driving me batty!  Any help would be appreciated.
[09:52] <littlec> beyecixramd, ok, i am sorry
[09:52] <beyecixramd> biston: by the way, i cant login in GDM with my password. It will just give me again the same error and go back to GDM
[09:52] <biston> beyecixramd then your problem is not with 'ubuntu', it's with GDM. ubuntu is booting up fine
[09:53] <beyecixramd> biston: well not at all because GDM logs in actually, but GNOME shows the error and logs off
[09:53] <biston> and again, what is the exact error
[09:53] <mert_d>  Dr_Willis: i search on all my filesystem for "vlc.desktop". it found two fles: vlc media player and the other is vlc media player. /usr/share/applications /usr/share/app-install/desktop . both of them are desktop configuration file. what should i do next ?
[09:53] <beyecixramd> biston: okay, please hold on i will reboot and tell you
[09:54] <biston> how can i reverse what "update-rc.d networking defaults" did? (the dhcp client is taking increasing boot time by well over 30 seconds when no cable is in ethernet adapter)
[09:54] <biston> grr, misspelled again
[09:54] <biston> anyone knows how to do that anyway?
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> mert_d:  the .desktop files define the default mimetypes those programs are set for. you could edit the mimetypes enntry and add new filetypes if you wanted to do this system wide for all users. Personally i just right click on files and set them what to open with. :)
[09:57] <littlec> is there any good games in linux?
[09:57] <biston> try Supertux
[09:57] <Calinou> yes
[09:57] <Calinou> littlec: search wikipedia, or #freegamer..
[09:58] <biston> it's a supermario-like game, with a penguin character instead
[09:58] <mert_d> Dr_Willis:  i think i can not explain you the problem :) look lets start again :) i know that i can do everything with "open with" menu from nautilus. but many times i don't know which programs can open it properly for filetypes (which i don't see them before). Additional, it will be very nice if i can see on the "open with" menu the possibilities of the applications which can open that filetype properly. That is my problem. sorry for my english :)
[09:58] <littlec> Calinou, thank you
[09:59] <littlec> Calinou,  i will look it
[09:59] <Calinou> no proble
[09:59]  * jomjome hugs ugliefrog
[09:59] <Calinou> Some good games i play... Xmoto, Wormux, Supertux, Sauerbraten, Nexuiz, Warsow, etc
[09:59] <ugliefrog> :)
[09:59] <AbhiJit> littlec, widelands,freecol,urban terror,beneath a steel sky,warzone,maryo and many more
[09:59] <vizlim> littlec, game: Battle for Wesnoth, OpenArena, Gweled
[10:00] <beyecixramd> alright here i am, the exact error is
[10:00] <AbhiJit> littlec, chech games section of getdeb
[10:00] <AbhiJit> check*
[10:00] <Urden> does anyone know what the default username and password are for the 10.10 netbook RC?
[10:00] <beyecixramd> There's a problem with the server configuration (/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 stopped with status 256)
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> mert_d:  that list is generated from the various .desktop files. if the .desktop file dosent give out the info. theres no way the system knows that some new file extensioon can work with vlc, or whatever. you will juat have to learn and add the ones you need.
[10:01] <beyecixramd> Urden: it's ubuntu with no pass
[10:01] <Urden> ok thanks beyecixramd
[10:01] <littlec> AbhiJit,  thank you
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> mert_d:  if vlc should also be in the list for various video formats that  its not.. then you could file a bug report. and it may get added to the list.
[10:01] <mak69> iflema: okay, i get you
[10:01] <beyecixramd> i guess it refers to the X.org server, any ideas please?
[10:02] <mert_d> Dr_Willis: ok. thank you!
[10:02] <pksadiq> vlc couldn't play some 3gp files with samr audio, but totem can
[10:02] <Dr_Willis> it depends on the options used when compiling vlc i imagine
[10:02] <mak69> iflema: now i just selected (main) in software source but not able to get mythtv package!
[10:03] <mak69> iflema: am trying 2 access tv tuner from last 2 days but din succeed yet, can you help
[10:03] <biston> beyecixramd trying to figure out what's wrong, give me a moment
[10:03] <beyecixramd> thanks a lot biston
[10:04] <pankaj_sharma> mak69: main) means
[10:04] <beyecixramd> biston: should this be OK? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1061084#8
[10:04] <iflema> mak69 is tuner DVB? in software sources make sure multiverse is selected....
[10:04] <PunkAzz> is it required to use explicitly state a filename's extention to launch it?  ie: /usr/bin/abc.exe ??
[10:04] <biston> i was going to propose permissions on both /home and /tmp dir
[10:04] <biston> so try that
[10:04] <Dr_Willis> PunkAzz:  linux vbinaries dont have .exe extensions
[10:04] <Dr_Willis> PunkAzz:  if it was 'foo.sh' then yes you use the full name
[10:05] <beyecixramd> biston: problem is there are some missing files since i removed them, but ill try then
[10:05] <PunkAzz> got it. thanks
[10:05] <beyecixramd> biston: should i run that as root or as my user?
[10:05] <pmjp> I cant believe I got XP running on Virtualbox
[10:05] <biston> beyecixramd no conf files are placed in /tmp, 2 - do it as ur user, using sudo
[10:05] <pmjp> on my little netbook
[10:05] <mak69> iflema: which is a better app for tuner, tvtime or mythtv?
[10:05] <mak69> iflema: dvb?
[10:05] <Dr_Willis> PunkAzz:  extensions are a windosw sort of thing.. the file name foo.whatever is the full file name.  theres noormally not any special exceptions  like the .exe  and .com exceptions dos/windows uses
[10:06] <iflema> mak69 digital or old school...
[10:06] <ugliefrog> old
[10:06] <ugliefrog> school
[10:06] <beyecixramd> biston: in runlevel 3, right?
[10:06] <ugliefrog> for me
[10:06] <PunkAzz> Got it.  I'm a brand new ubuntu newbie... trying to figure it out.
[10:06] <biston> beyecixramd doesnt matter what runlevel in this case
[10:06] <mak69> iflema: am not sure of that it is intex model with philips box
[10:07] <biston> beyecixramd and read this post as well http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=54770&start=40#p315315
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> mak69:  mythtv does more then just 'tunes' tv. :)  so it depends on  your needs.

[10:07] <psycho23> I need to know if Ubuntu uses lilo or grub?
[10:07] <beyecixramd> biston: reading
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> psycho23:  ubuntu uses grub2 by default these days
[10:07] <Dr_Willis> psycho23:  lilo hasent been used in years..
[10:07] <biston> beyecixramd this is Linux Mint, but also Debian, it caused same problem when /home had wrong perms. so check that too
[10:07] <psycho23> Dr_Willis: k
[10:07] <pmjp> I am lucky I dabble with ubuntu when it first came out only just got back to it
[10:07] <beyecixramd> biston: yeah i know, thanks :)
[10:07] <iflema> mak69 analogue or digital reseption/tuner?
[10:08] <Dr_Willis> psycho23:  older releases can be using the older grub. (known as grub-legacy these days)
[10:08] <mak69> iflema: how can i make out that?
[10:08] <mak69> iflema: its got a rf insertion
[10:08] <beyecixramd> biston: im supposed to put my user (beyecixramd in this case ) where user is in *sudo chown user:user /home *, right?
[10:08] <beyecixramd> biston: so it's beyecixramd:beyecixramd
[10:09]  * iflema =)
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> beyecixramd:  its $USER if you want the user variable to be expanede to the current user.
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> echo $USER
[10:09] <vince_> hello ladys & джентельмены
[10:10] <beyecixramd> alright, okay lemme try this fix, ill chown tmp and home and ill come back and tell you
[10:10] <pmjp> hi vince
[10:10] <biston> beyecixramd if the perms on /tmp don't fix the problem, try the /home should be owned by root:root, the directories inside are what concerns you
[10:10] <mak69> iflema: if i submit a matter using pastebin. does it appear here i have tried 1 but din see it here
[10:10] <vince_> здесь ктонибудь по русски шпрехает?

[10:12] <iflema> mak69 it will provide a URL for the post and you paste that here
[10:12] <mak69> iflema: okay
[10:13] <PunkAzz> Does firefox maintain a cached list that tells it what to do (or what to launch) in the event of a irc link (ie: /ctcp blah blah blah) that would be maintained outside of "about:config" and under network.protocol-handler.app.irc?

[10:19] <Aramil> hi
[10:19] <beyecixramd> so now, how can i mount /tmp/ to tmpfs? (that's, in RAM) to avoid excessive writes to my SSD?
[10:19] <Aramil> i just updated to the newest linux kenrel
[10:20] <Dr_Willis> beyecixramd:  ive seebn somt tricks to do that.. but had other issues when doing it.. let me  check my notes
[10:20] <RealOpty> !lucid
[10:20] <Aramil> and during the update the proccess stops here
[10:20] <RealOpty> what was the one before lucid?
[10:20] <Aramil> Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin
[10:20] <Aramil> in the update-grub
[10:20] <Aramil> and it stops there
[10:20] <beyecixramd> aight, thanks Dr_Willis
[10:21] <Aramil> any ideas?
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> beyecixramd:  I set my log dirs to be to tmpfs with the 2 lines in fstab.. but had some issues..  /tmp/ in tmpfs may cause more issues
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> #tmpfs /var/log tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> #tmpfs /var/tmp tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0
[10:21] <RealOpty> was it Karmic?
[10:21] <Dr_Willis> minux the # comment of course. :)
[10:22] <beyecixramd> what issues, Dr_Willis ?
[10:22] <AbhiJit> !karmic | RealOpty
[10:22] <Dr_Willis> beyecixramd:  for the log files. some services did not make the /var/log/whatever directory and would fail to startup.
[10:22] <RealOpty> AbhiJit, so karmic was before lucid yeah?
[10:22] <AbhiJit> RealOpty, yah
[10:22] <iflema> mak69 your in a bit of a mess im not sure what happened/you're done :P
[10:23] <beyecixramd> Dr_Willis: alright, then i think ill stick with noatime to reduce number of writes and enough xD
[10:23] <RealOpty> ty
[10:23] <beyecixramd> thanks everyone again, specially Dr_Willis and biston
[10:23] <beyecixramd> bye :)

[10:28] <nikkita> im using a 3d modem but for some reason the aplication wont install on ubuntu
[10:29] <gianfranco> good morning
[10:30] <gb56> .join #asterisk
[10:31] <Dr_Willis> nikkita:  'what application' are you refering to?
[10:32] <pksadiq> nikkita 3G is that you mean?
[10:32] <nikkita> yes
[10:32] <pfrenssen> I need to run backup scripts once a day. I have been using cron but it skips the backup if the computer is off at the specified time. Now I'm using anacron, but that skips the backup if I leave the computer running for more than 24 hours. Should I run anacron from cron?
[10:33] <pksadiq> nikkita elaborate
[10:34] <nikkita> pksadiq on ubuntu its detects the modem but the application wont work
[10:34] <nikkita> it wont install
[10:34] <pksadiq> nikkita from mobile phone?
[10:35] <nikkita> its a 3g modem the one you put in the usb
[10:36] <pksadiq> nikkita what is the output of ls /dev/ttyUS*
[10:36] <Dr_Willis> nikkita:  you mean to say theres some software ON the phone that tries to 'auto run' and install like it would on a windows machune?>
[10:36] <nikkita> what phone? and yes dr_willis
[10:37] <seb_> airtonix: "padsp xvidcap" worked perfectly with a source-compiled (and necessarily very slightly hacked) version of xvidcap on 64 bit Ubuntu 10.04 with a 2.6.35 kernel and no OSS compatibility layer. :)
[10:37] <Dr_Willis> nikkita:  you are the one mentioning 3g thats the cell phone network.. so you are trying to isntall windows drivers/software on linux to get this 3g thing going?
[10:38] <nikkita> http://threestore.three.co.uk/images/modems/3Store_ZTE_MF122_210x225_Large.jpg
[10:38] <nikkita> this DR_willis thats what im trying to get to work
[10:40] <Dr_Willis> that image dosent really tell a lot. :) heh.
[10:40] <nikkita> im not installing a cell phone network
[10:40] <Dr_Willis> I imagine you dont use the windows softeare from the device. it will need its own linux drivers/tools to configure it
[10:41] <nikkita> :S oh it hasnt got any
[10:41] <pksadiq> nikitta do lsusb in terminal if you see your device its almost working
[10:41] <Dr_Willis> Its a '3g' modem that uses the Cell Phone 3G network.
[10:44] <hanasaki> what will let me find windows upnp?
[10:44] <littlec> hanasaki, what is upnp?
[10:44] <hanasaki> some thing that lets windows find media servers
[10:45] <Dr_Willis> I was thinking some of the video players have upnp plugins.
[10:45] <littlec> hmmm, seems that i don't know
[10:45] <Dr_Willis> but ive never used that feature. I just seem to recall seeing it in the package manager the other day
[10:45] <Dr_Willis> !upnp
[10:45] <hanasaki> hmm funny my ubuntu box comes up as a sip switch avahi-discover
[10:46] <nikkita> how do i do lsusb

[10:53] <Greyhound-> hey
[10:53] <Greyhound-> this is really an ubuntu related question but I hope someone can help
[10:53] <Greyhound-> I have two pcs. one of them boots, the other one doesn't. the busted one is pc A, the working one is pc B. if I take the psu from pc b and connect it to mobo a, pc a boots, if I take psu a and connect it to pc b it boots, but psu a + mobo a won't boot. the cpu, gpu and psu coolers will start for a second then stop and that's about it. I've tried clearing cmos and removing the battery, but that
[10:53] <Greyhound-> hasn't helped either. Any idea how to fix it?
[10:53] <FloodBot1> Greyhound-: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:54] <Greyhound-> *isn't
[10:54] <bazhang> Greyhound-, ##hardware please
[10:54] <Greyhound-> I've tried #hardware but there are way more people in here so I was thinking I have much better changes of getting a good idea here
[10:55] <bazhang> Greyhound-, its not in any way related to ubuntu support though.
[10:55] <pksadiq> nikitta Do you see something like 3G modem or Huwai Modem after lsusb?
[10:55] <Dr_Willis> Greyhound-:  perhaps #ubuntu-offtopic :) shounds like bad wireing or somthing.. find a 3rd psu :)
[10:55] <mxe5> What would be the best app to use to clone my hard drive to make a backup to another hard drive - running gnome 10.4 ? ?

[10:56] <Greyhound-> I'll give offtopic a chance :)
[10:56] <Dr_Willis> mxe5:  You want an Image file as a 'backup' or are you cloning install #1 to work on pc #2?
[10:57] <mxe5> bazhang: Look in Ubuntu Software Center ?
[10:57] <Dr_Willis> !backup
[10:57] <bazhang> mxe5, clone?
[10:57] <random-jellyfish> can anybody help me with something?

[10:58] <random-jellyfish> when I try to activate my wifi card with ifconfig ra0 up i get this error : SIOCSIFFLAGS: Operation not permitted
[10:58] <mxe5> Dr_Willis: Used to using Acronis for windows - would like to make a mirrored cloned image to another sata hard drive that's a little bigger - both western digital.
[10:59] <random-jellyfish> anybody know what the cause of that might be/
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> mxe5:  you can make a 'image' file via dd or other ways..  fsarchiver can 'clone' a hard drive to a 2nd drive
[11:00] <KukMan> Hi. I can't install wifi drivers on Ubuntu 10.10 on Usb drive. It says error "lzma: Encoder error  -2214324259"
[11:00] <Dr_Willis> random-jellyfish:  you are using 'sudo' as needed to configure the thing?
[11:00] <CameronH> Ok so i want to dual boot vista/ubuntu, i backed up all my junk etc. and now i have a live cd, ive been told all i need to do is boot from it and in the installer decide on how big i want the ubuntu partition to be. Is this all i need to do or was i led astray?
[11:00] <random-jellyfish> Dr_Willis : yes i use sudo
[11:00] <KukMan> I'm rewrite usb drive with fresh ubuntu now
[11:00] <numbfall> 10.10 is AWESOME
[11:01] <mxe5> Dr_Willis: What did you mean by " you can make a 'image' file via dd " ?
[11:01] <Leman_Russ> Hey.  Any of you making music with Ubuntu?  I am looking for a new Sound Card (my old one was an EMU-1616m) and I wonder if any of you have something of equal quality which works out of the box with Ubuntu?
[11:01] <Dr_Willis> CameronH:  thats the basics of it.. You could resize your windows install befor booting the cd. ive found windows faster at resizing the windows disks.. You may want to scandisk/de4frag the windows disks also befor booting the cd.
[11:01] <KukMan> and I have free space on the usb drive
[11:01] <Dr_Willis> mxe5:   dd if=/dev/sda of=sdaimagefile
[11:01] <random-jellyfish> brb gotta go eat, if you have a sollution to my problem please leave an answer, thanks
[11:01] <KukMan> What is my problem?
[11:01] <Dr_Willis> mxe5:  thats an exact 'image' of the hard drive.
[11:01] <mxe5> Dr_Willis: Ah ok got it.
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> mxe5:   you could also use 'fsarchiver' to clone the hd1 to hd2.. and still access hd2 normally. because it is a hard drive. not a 'image' file.
[11:02] <monmmon871> HI
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> the term 'clone image' is a little... odd. :) a dd 'image' is an identical copy..
[11:02] <megacool> any suggestions for a good web design program for ubuntu?
[11:03] <numbfall> @megacool.. Bluefish
[11:03] <megacool> I need PHP and MySQL and APACHE, but looking to make web pages
[11:03] <dr0id> I have 2 accounts on my PC, now I am in account A while I want a file from the desktop of account B, how do I do that ?
[11:03] <megacool> kk, thanks
[11:03] <dr0id> megacool: gedit should be fine :)
[11:03] <numbfall> Bluefish is just a html css ect ect editor
[11:03] <numbfall> good one though
[11:03] <megacool> cool
[11:03] <megacool> ok
[11:03] <dr0id> hate bluefish
[11:04] <dr0id> can anyone help me ?
[11:04] <megacool> any other ideas?
[11:04] <dr0id> megacool: gedit
[11:04] <mxe5> Dr_Willis: Second option sounds the easiest to me - but in the future would like to bone up on the shell way of doing it as well for the learning experience.
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> dr0id: dependign on how user2 has the permissions on their files/dirs setup. the file may be acccessable via. /home/user2/Desktop/whatever
[11:04] <megacool> ok cool thanks guys
[11:04] <megacool> I'm out
[11:04] <megacool> lol
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> !info fsarchiver
[11:04] <CameronH> Dr_Willis ive tried to shrink the vista partition but i cant in windows even tho i have ~50gb free space. I assume cause the drive is really fragmented, i was therefore told itd be easier to do it with the live cd. Do you have any suggestions?
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> CameronH:  always best to defrag befor trying the install in any case.
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> CameronH:  so let windows defrag for the next.. 4 days :)
[11:05] <dr0id> thanks Dr_Willis
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> I hate defragging windows..
[11:05] <mxe5> Dr_Willis: So the "clonezilla" would not be the way to go ? Is the "fsarchiver" a GUI app?

[11:07] <kaddi> Hi, my friend sent me a zip file and when I try to unpack it, it says: "need PK compat. v6.3 (can do v4.6)" I have tried tar,rar,7zip and zip.. is there another utility that can read these compressed files?
[11:07] <dr0id> thanks bazhang, #ubuntu is awesome :)
[11:07] <dwarder> what do you use to GUI manage scp files
[11:08] <Dr_Willis> kaddi:  ive had to use 'winrar.exe' befor and wine. to extract some odd archives.. in the past. :) its a nasty way - but it worked.
[11:08] <kaddi> will try that :)
[11:09] <mxe5> Dr_Willis: Just installed but under "more info" it talks about the destination files being compressed - so would not be able to access sounds like - Have you personally used this method for backup ? If so good results ?
[11:09] <Dr_Willis> mxe5:  installed what?
[11:10] <random_user> hi all,  i just installed recent UNR on my machine. I am trying to increase the size of the panel. is there a good way to do this? since right clicking on the panel is locked, there must be another way to do this.
[11:10] <dwarder> anyone uses secpanel?
[11:10] <mxe5> Dr_Willis: The fsarchiver app
[11:10] <Abezethibou> on ubuntu ssytem, emacs23 doesnot response slime complately; cmucl and sbcl is old version on package system. I tried recomple tham. and upgrade version (./configre and make install). But slime-mode still cant tab the REPL system.. Does anyone have any suggestion
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> mxe5:  it has dozens of options last i tried it.. check its homepage/faq/docs.
[11:11] <mxe5> Dr_Willis: Sorry tired and a little muddled right now.
[11:11] <kaddi> Dr_Willis: do you know if there is a portable version of winrar? or do I need to install the full version
[11:11] <orca> winrar is not ubuntu
[11:11] <mxe5> Dr_Willis: Will give it a try - Thanks for input - appreciate it!
[11:11] <Yabba> Hi. Anyone here who can help me out with rtmpdump? Seems like I missing something out. It seems to find the sream and everything I want to save, but instead of saving a file it prits a lot of jibberish in the terminal window.
[11:12] <bob0> Hello.How can I update Truecrypt?
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> kaddi:  i just get the thing from the winrar homepage. used it to extract the archives i neede then deleted the wine isntall of it.
[11:12] <Dr_Willis> kaddi:  theres other arvhiver tools out.. but no idwa what ones use   "need PK compat. v6.3 (can do v4.6)"
[11:13] <Dr_Willis> Every so often someone comes in with some odd 'rar' arvhive that  the rar tools in the repos wont open.
[11:13] <romme> my wireless disconnects consistently when i lock my screen for about 10 minutes
[11:13] <kaddi> winrar doesn't know that zip format either.. maybe the file is just broken >.>
[11:13] <Dr_Willis> kaddi:  thats possible.
[11:14] <Dr_Willis> kaddi:  could try the latest winzip i guess..  but 'outlook looks bad'
[11:14] <Dr_Willis> bbl.
[11:14] <kaddi> true
[11:15] <fowode> hi
[11:18] <kaddi> Winzip did the trick
[11:19] <bihari_> Adobe Flash Player 10 or greater is required to view the movies on this website, You can get it for free from Adobe by clicking this link. orry for the inconvienence.<< i cant able to see videos
[11:19] <bihari_> what to do?
[11:20] <aeon-ltd> bihari_: check for updates in update-manager
[11:20] <bihari_> i am using ubuntu 10.04
[11:20] <orca> who isn't?
[11:20] <orca> 9.10 is end-of-life
[11:21] <aeon-ltd> bihari_: flash development, especially for ubuntu is incredibly slow, only on a rolling release system would you expect the latest flash within days of the mac/windows counterpart release
[11:21] <bihari_> Could not download all repository indexes
[11:21] <bihari_> The repository may no longer be available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and ensure the repository address in the preferences is correct.
[11:22] <aeon-ltd> bihari_: however because of this testing stage, ubuntu is usually less prone to problems
[11:22] <bihari_> oic
[11:22] <aeon-ltd> bihari_: a mirror may be down at the moment
[11:22] <bullgard4_> How to call the Gtk+ program hardinfo in the GNOME menu?
[11:23] <bihari_> ok

[11:25] <avij> is there some reason why ipv6.torrent.ubuntu.com responds with "requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker" when I try to download the newest release candidate?
[11:26] <rww> avij: Ubuntu's torrent tracker isn't the most reliable thing in the world.
[11:26] <RealOpty> ok whats that easy command to add a LP ppa?
[11:26] <Dr_Willis> mxe5:  ive done it with dd and followed by gparted befor. :)  its all about what you want for an end result.
[11:27] <rww> RealOpty: add-apt-repository, I think
[11:27] <RealOpty> rww, ty
[11:28] <mxe5> Dr_Willis: I will you the the shell method, looks like the best way for me as of now.
[11:28] <mxe5> Dr_Willis: Thanks

[11:31] <zol_> hi
[11:33] <eugenekorpan> hello everyone, have small question. I have just installed ubuntu and cannot setup my network. It is saying cable is unplugged. Is it something with my drivers?
[11:33] <aeon-ltd> zol_: hi
[11:33] <aeon-ltd> eugenekorpan: unlikely, ethernet usually works 99.9999999999% out of the box
[11:33] <bullgard4_> How to call the Gtk+ program hardinfo in the GNOME menu?
[11:34] <bullgard4_> eugenekorpan: Have a look at the 2 lamps next to your Ethernet outlet.
[11:35] <eugenekorpan> aeon-ltd: Is this mean I have set up network unproperly?
[11:35] <AbhiJit> how to start a ap in startup with some delay?
[11:36] <sanoop> hi
[11:36] <aeon-ltd> eugenekorpan: check all connections, does any other pc connected to the router work?
[11:36] <daniela78> Raz0rsEdge, hi ;)
[11:36] <moetunes> sleep 3 && appname in autostart AbhiJit
[11:36] <eugenekorpan> aeon-ltd: forgot to mention that I have windows on the same machine and internet is ok
[11:36] <aeon-ltd> eugenekorpan: what type of pc is this?
[11:36] <juk> AbhiJit: sleep delay; app
[11:36] <AbhiJit> juk, moetunes thanks
[11:36] <moetunes> np
[11:37] <eugenekorpan> aeon-ltd: sorry what do you mean?
[11:37] <bullgard4_> AbhiJit: As far as I know you can do it only if you write a small script which includes a delay function and put thi in the startup folder.
[11:37] <Raz0rsEdge> daniela78: Hi honey =)
[11:37] <bullgard4_> s/thi/this/
[11:37] <alket> Is there any Ubuntu Migration Assisant for ubuntu ? I know there is one for windows but i need to save my Documents, Pictures etc ?
[11:37] <aeon-ltd> eugenekorpan: desktop/laptop/netbook/nettop(or any micro-atx pc)
[11:37] <AbhiJit> bullgard4_, no we can dirctly do it
[11:37] <AbhiJit> bullgard4_, i had done this before but now forgot it
[11:37] <eugenekorpan> just desktop
[11:38] <eugenekorpan> aeon-ltd: just desktop
[11:38] <aeon-ltd> eugenekorpan: new motherboard?
[11:38] <eugenekorpan> aeon-ltd: not know will it help, matherboard is ASUS m4a77t
[11:39] <eugenekorpan> aeon-ltd: I hope it's new ^)
[11:39] <eugenekorpan> aeon-ltd: I hope it's new :)
[11:39] <aeon-ltd> eugenekorpan: try (in terminal) 'sudo /etc/init.d/network restart'
[11:42] <eugenekorpan> aeon-ltd: the problem is that I have to restart my computer and run ubuntu. So I will not be able to write the results instantly. So may I ask what should I expect for after this command?
[11:42] <nikkita> dr_willis i did it and its there
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> nikkita:  Huh?
[11:43] <aeon-ltd> eugenekorpan: a connection may come back, that just restarts the network daemon and should poll/call for all available connections, if not maybe try restaring nm-applet, just in a process manager/or using top/htop
[11:43] <nikkita> applications then accesories then terminal then i typed lsusb in terminal
[11:43] <nikkita> and my modem comes up there
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> nikkita:  lsusb just shows all 'seen' devices that are plugged in..   its taken you like 2+ hrs to just run 'lsusb' from a terminal?
[11:44] <daniela78> My kernel is spaming into kern.log && syslog: unable to enumerate USB device on port every second - how can I disable this?
[11:44] <nikkita> dr_willis i need to keep turning my computer of and going on to ubuntu
[11:45] <Raz0rsEdge> daniela78: do ya have a device connected vias USB?
[11:46] <eugenekorpan> aeon-ltd: I have vpn and have to enter login and the password. Will it automaticaly detect it and ask me for login requirements?
[11:46] <Dr_Willis> nikkita:  save that lsusb output to some file, where you can access it from windows . determine the chipset the device is using, and check the forums for the exact device is all i can suggest. ive never used  a 3g modem under linux, or windows.
[11:46] <daniela78> Raz0rsEdge: no, maybe I should disable USB on this ASUS-A7N8X-E?
[11:48] <silasdavis> is there an apt-get command to fetch fresh config files (and overwrite) for an installed package?
[11:48] <ReadPlease> Hey, guys.  MySql is saying that Ubuntu's build of MySql is busted.  That's why it comes such that the second command it lists in its internal tooltips doesn't work.
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> purge and reinstall.  would restore the original confif files silasdavis
[11:49] <ReadPlease> It says to change the default password from blank to whatever....
[11:49] <Atrivius> Hi. I have a problem with my Dell m5010. AMD processor.. When i try to install from CD i get.. Ureadhead - other main process terminated with status 4.
[11:49] <daniela78> Raz0rsEdge: lspci|grep USB comes up with 3 USB Controller
[11:49] <eugenekorpan> aeon-ltd: anyway, thanks for trying to help
[11:49] <moetunes> silasdavis:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure appname will return it to default settings
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> Atrivius:  ive seen that message befor on several machines.. and the system works.. It may be somthing ELSE thats causing the issue.. you are just seeing that message  as the last thing it logs.
[11:50] <Atrivius> But it freezes.
[11:50] <Atrivius> cant continue :)
[11:50] <bullgard4_> How to call the Gtk+ program hardinfo in the GNOME menu?
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> Atrivius:  what i am saying is the freeze mauy not be related to the 'ureadahead' message.
[11:51] <Atrivius> Ahh.. It's a 64 bit system, but i am installing 32 bit, can it be this?
[11:51] <Raz0rsEdge> daniela78: I dunno how to remove this annoying messages - try to remove usb kernel module or sumthin
[11:51] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4_:  you mean how to add it to the menus? use the alacarte program  if you want to edit your menus
[11:51] <bansali> hey. how do i format a flash drive to FAT32?
[11:51] <silasdavis> moetunes: thanks that what I was after
[11:51] <ppq> bansali: 'sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdx1'
[11:51] <moetunes> np :]
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> bansali:  easy way - use gparted,  or use 'sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdXX' and DONT make a mistake with the /dev/sdXX part
[11:52] <bullgard4_> Dr_Willis: I do not want to edit my menus. I'd like to call this program using the GNOME menus.
[11:52] <pksadiq> Atrivius for amd64 systems 64 bit is OS is a Plus, but 32 bit too works well
[11:52] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4_:  i dont know what you mean by the term 'call' in that context...
[11:52] <nikkita> all guys are stupid
[11:52] <ppq> bansali: this creates a fat32 filesystem on the first partition on device sdx. (see 'sudo fdisk -l')
[11:52] <Atrivius> Its a strange issue to troubleshoot then, since i dont get any error msg that i can search a solution for. It just freezes
[11:52] <pksadiq> nikkita What happened? :)
[11:53] <daniela78> Argh my logfiles are getting bigger and bigger every second :/
[11:53] <mikeru> how can I compile a library as static instead of dynamic/shared?
[11:53] <nikkita> pksadiq it shows up in lsusb
[11:53] <bullgard4_> Dr_Willis: 'to call a program' is a well-established technical term in data processing. I am hurrying to give you an internationally agreed definition...
[11:53] <mikeru> it's cmake based...
[11:53] <bansali> Dr_Willis: ppq: sudo mkfs -t vfat /dev/sdb1 should i specify size?
[11:53] <Dr_Willis> bansali:  i dont think it matters.
[11:53] <bansali> checked device in /etc/mtab
[11:54] <pksadiq> nikkita ok, now in terminal type ls /dev/ttyU*
[11:54] <ppq> bansali: no, if you want to change the size of the partition, you have to re-partition your flash drive
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4_:   to me the phrase' call  this program using the menus' means 'launch the program via the gnome menus'
[11:54] <ppq> bansali: but mkfs doesn'
[11:54] <pksadiq> nikitta do you see anything?
[11:54] <ppq> t care about sizes. sorry
[11:54] <bansali> ppq: no i dont want to change or repartition. my goal is to create a bootable image of backtrack linux
[11:54] <bansali> do i deleted all the data and i need to format it
[11:55] <daniela78> Raz0rsEdge: attached usb devices are recognized correctly, I tested my mp3 player: Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0471:204e Philips
[11:55] <bansali> so i deleted*
[11:55] <ppq> bansali: oh, okay. why don't you use unetbootin for this? it does everything automagically, you just have to specify the flash drive
[11:55] <nikkita> pksadiq what do i do after that because i need to keep shutting to windows then going back on to ubuntu
[11:55] <bullgard4_> Dr_Willis: "to call --   The instruction to transfer control from one 'module' to another, usually with the implication that control will be given back to the 'calling' module.  --  NOTE - A call usually specifies 'parameters' to be passed to and from the called module."
[11:55] <bansali> ppq: ok ill use that thanks. Dr_Willis: thanks
[11:56] <RealOpty> i <3 freenx
[11:56] <pksadiq> nikkita , do you have a phone with gprs?
[11:56] <nikkita> nope
[11:57] <kaddi> on a different notice: I booted into my linux installtion, by modifying root, prefix and all these things in grub, this morning. When I start like that from grub rescue is the grub menu modified accordingly? And if not, how to I change it so that it permanently sticks? (sda6 became sda5 basically)
[11:57] <pksadiq> nikitta, ok then note down what all you need to do
[11:57] <bullgard4_> Dr_Willis: I agree:  In the present context "the phrase' call this program using the menus' means 'launch the program via the gnome menus' " are equivalent.
[11:58] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4_:  if theres not an icon in the menus to launch the program.. then  add an icon/menu item  to launch it.. and the proram used to edit the menus and add such an item is 'alacarte'
[11:59] <pksadiq> nikitta first You open terminal and type ls /dev/ttyU* , if you didn't see any output then type ls /dev/ttyA* , I hope You will find some result, then insert your ubuntu CD and search for wvdial and install it by double clicking it , then come back
[11:59] <rob_p> daniela78: You can modify the config file(s) that affect the system logger.  Take a peek in /etc/rsyslog.conf and the files within /etc/rsyslog.d/ and you *should* be able to alter what gets logged where, etc.
[11:59] <bullgard4_> Dr_Willis: I could also re-word my question thus: Is there an icon, or is there no icon for that?
[11:59] <silasdavis> could anyone tell me what package ntfsck is in under ubuntu?
[11:59] <Dazzled> Is there a special repository for chrome (the browser) updates in Lucid?
[12:00] <Dazzled> I just checked synatic, and it says the repository was disabled when upgrading to Lucid
[12:00] <Dazzled> synaptic*
[12:00] <manzhack> I'm gathering information about transmission: is transmission work with http protocol?
[12:00] <daniela78> rob_, okay thx I will have a look into it, because this is annoying: http://pastebin.com/aNggbPQ9
[12:01] <nikkita> pksadiq ill do it in a min ok
[12:01] <pksadiq> nikkita Ok
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4_:  i notice that the program hardinfo here is  added to my 'system tools' menu - under the name 'System Profiler and benchmark' but i am on a 10.10 machine right now
[12:01] <rob_p> daniela78: Yeah, I bet.  At least for now, until you figure out what's going on, you can silence those entries.  Good luck.
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4_:  i recoginzed it by the icon.  and looked in the hardinfo.desktop file and saw it was supposed to be in the 'system' menu
[12:02] <Dazzled> so I'm not sure whether I can re-enable it, or need another (Lucid-specific) one, would anybody know?
[12:02] <pksadiq> Dazzled check the Software Sources in Administration menu
[12:02] <Dazzled> pksadiq: the url does not specify a certain build flavour
[12:02] <daniela78> rob_p, All ports are working fine... don't know why this message comes up...
[12:02] <oCean> silasdavis: you can use 'apt-file search' or http://packages.ubuntu.com/ to search for package and -contents. There is no ntfsck, but there is ntfsfix and others in package ntfsprogs
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4_:  i notice that the new Ubuntu Software center also now tells where in the menus  the icons can be found.. :) thats a nice new feature.
[12:03] <pksadiq> Dazzled are you taking about upgradig from 9.10 or something like that to ubuntu 10.04?
[12:03] <sunny1> Can anyone tell me how much of a resource hogs symbolic links are?
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> sunny1:  shouldent affect things at all.
[12:04] <Dazzled> pksadiq: no, just trying to update Google Chrome (beta)
[12:05] <sunny1> Dr_Willis: Even with one master to hundreds of clone files?
[12:05] <squarrel> can anyone shed some light on how to share files between guest Ubuntu in VMWare on windows?
[12:05] <rob_p> daniela78: Not sure but if the ports are working, perhaps there's a bug with how the kernel module interacts with your particular hardware.  Anyway, don't forget to do, "sudo reload rsyslog" after you modify the config.
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> sunny1:  shouldent matter.
[12:05] <sunny1> Dr_Willis: Cool, thanks
[12:05] <pksadiq> Dazzled Go to Applications > Ubuntu Software Center, I hope You can search and find the best

[12:06] <Dr_Willis> jiohdi:  set your default keyring password to be blank.. and use the 'unsafe storage' option.
[12:06] <jiohdi> Dr_Willis: where do I find how to set the keyring password?
[12:06] <Dr_Willis> jiohdi:  'passwords and encryption keys' -> right click on the LOGIN: item

[12:08] <sunny1> kool-aide: Go to Startup Applications and check off the option
[12:08] <Dr_Willis> !session
[12:09] <jiohdi> Dr_Willis: all I can do is set the password by right clicking and it does not allow blank
[12:10] <Dr_Willis> jiohdi:  i set mine to blank all the time.. in both fields... it then asks to use unsafe method....
[12:10] <Dazzled> found it, just re-enabled the repository, and all went well :)
[12:10] <Dr_Willis> jiohdi:  i even have a video of how to set it at http:drop.io/dr_willis
[12:10] <ReadPlease> If I use apt-get to install mysql, where is the equivallent directroy to /usr/local/mysql ?

[12:10] <sunny1> Is anyone using SparkleShare for folder syncs?
[12:10] <pksadiq> mysql

[12:13] <sunny1> kool-aide: I'm not sure how sessions work, but I assume the file got corrupted or something. Try checking it on and closing all the programs and press remember it
[12:14] <kool-aide> sunny1: u mean i have to close all and check remember box settings and reboot?
[12:14] <kool-aide> ok i'll try
[12:15] <sunny1> kool-aide: That's what I would do...if that doesn't work, its probably something else
[12:17] <ivers> Anyone got a howto to install a graphical enviorment and a graphical remote control software to access with from terminal ?
[12:17] <tristan_> hm?
[12:17] <kool-aide> wow
[12:17] <coolsan> ok bye have a good day
[12:17] <kool-aide> it works
[12:17] <kool-aide> thanx sunny1
[12:18] <aeon-ltd> ivers: not reallya how to , but install X (xorg), install a de or wm of choice, and install openssh (open ports if firewall is present), and install vnc software if needed
[12:18] <sunny1> kool-aide: You bet
[12:18] <ivers> aeon-ltd: yeah, but what vnc software works out of the box by isntalling from terminal
[12:18] <gfather> hello guys, does this channel include ubuntu netbook support  ?
[12:19] <aeon-ltd> ivers: none, but thats why you have the graphical enviro. to configure it
[12:19] <ivers> aeon-ltd: then I'm pretty far away
[12:19] <kool-aide> sunny1: are u a fan of bitchX? is there a way i could have a bitchX on my distro? 10.04? i've red forums and state that it is no longer on the repos and no support on it for updates...
[12:19] <sunny1> Do you guys think keeping a backup copy of every file opened in gedit and syncing it to git is overkill?
[12:20] <aeon-ltd> sunny1: for what kind of development?
[12:20] <LjL> gfather: i think so. there might be a more specific channel, but the name escapes me
[12:20] <sunny1> Oh and the backups never get overwritten
[12:20] <gfather> thank you LjL ill try to search for it
[12:21] <rww> gfather: I don't think it exists any more. Here is fine.
[12:21] <LjL> rww: anymore?
[12:21] <sunny1> aeon-ltd: Web (rails mostly)...I just hate the feeling of losing some file and having to rewrite it again
[12:21] <Katselphrime> hi all
[12:22] <rww> LjL: I vaguely remember there being one at some point. iono.
[12:22] <gfather> ok , i want to install ubuntu netbook on desktop , is that possible ?
[12:22] <rww> gfather: yes
[12:22] <gfather> rww: would i need to do anything special , or install it directly from image ?
[12:22] <aeon-ltd> sunny1: may as well seeing as it is generally quite small to keep, besides just clean it up and write a log every 6 months or something
[12:23] <rww> gfather: exact same thing you'd do on a netbook.
[12:23] <kaddi> how can I change the grub root entry for grub2 from within the operating system?
[12:23] <aeon-ltd> gfather: are you running ubuntu desktop now?
[12:23] <mouseover> I am on a new debian box. Other machines are able to ping it, but they are unable to connect to a server (ie, ip/port) started on this new debian box. Specifically, netcat timesout. Does debian run a firewall or is there some other security measure in place?
[12:23] <rww> gfather: Ubuntu Desktop and Netbook are practically the same, they just have different interfaces.
[12:23] <gfather> aeon-ltd: no , i want to install it on bare metal
[12:23] <rww> mouseover: Debian support in #debian
[12:23] <gfather> rww:  so all drivers needed and such are included , right ?
[12:23] <rww> gfather: The same drivers are in Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Netbook.
[12:24] <sunny1> aeon-ltd: 6 months huh...I was thinking of a cron job every week or something. Hate for the files to take forever to load due to 100 sym links.
[12:24] <aeon-ltd> gfather: oh, yeah its perfectly fine, but personally a large gui for easy mouse clicks isn't really neccesary when you have a mouse not a tiny trackpad
[12:24] <gfather> rww: thanks allot :)
[12:24] <sunny1> kool-aide: Sorry no clue
[12:24] <gfather> aeon-ltd:  it is for old people who dont know anything about pc world ever :)
[12:24] <aeon-ltd> sunny1: a weekly cycle should be fine, if this is going to be fast development
[12:25] <del_> Cant get password-less ssh with private/pubkey working (ssh-keygen on one host, ssh-copy-id to the other, permissions are ok, sshd_config on server allows KeyAuth) Any hints?
[12:25] <winterelf> hi there, i need help changing the firefox visuality under ubuntu 10.04 my i want to change the size of the upper section (the menu and the tabs) to a small size.. any idea?
[12:25] <sunny1> kool-aide: There are plenty of good irc clients available
[12:26] <aeon-ltd> winterelf: it can be custom set in chrome.css, though i'm not sure what the parameters that need to be set are
[12:26] <sunny1> aeon-ltd: Yea hopefully
[12:26] <ReadPlease> why do i keep getting a 'must set uid root' error when I try to apt-get remove?

[12:26] <erUSUL> Pdwthegg: this one

[12:27] <ReadPlease> i get the error using sudo, erUSUL.
[12:27] <winterelf> sunny1: i looked, couldn't find any
[12:28] <bullgard4_> Dr_Willis: I found it! It is not in the 'System' menu but in Applications > System Tools. --  I could not install the package hardinfo using the Ubuntu Software Center. It kept saying that ii is installing but never ended. Is this normal if my Synaptic is open?
[12:28] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: paste the exact command you did and the exact error you got ina pastebin please
[12:28] <Suit_Of_Sables> hey gang, can anyone suggest to me a site with some good short alert sounds? most I'm dinging are 'sound effects' which aren't very practical. I'm using arch linux right now but I remember the drum sound in ubuntu and I liked that a lot. does ubuntu have an 'alert set' so to speak?
[12:28] <erUSUL> !paste
[12:28] <ReadPlease> I can't paste, but I will.
[12:28] <sunny1> winterelf: xchat

[12:29] <ReadPlease> B/c it's a different machine.
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> bullgard4_:  never noticed the issue. could bee some apt quirk. You normally have one package manager open at a time.. yes.. thats a COMMON issue people have.
[12:29] <Angel|> hola

[12:30] <ReadPlease> Did you get it?
[12:30] <c3l> kaddi: did you get an answer? anyhow, change the GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to mach your default option in the boot meny, in the file /etc/default/grub
[12:30] <ReadPlease> erUSUL?
[12:31] <del_> erUSUL, Thanks, the problem were permissions on the server side (home dir, I had just checked .ssh ;-) Thank you!
[12:31] <IdleOrange> Xchat is a great irc client
[12:31] <AbhiJit> no
[12:31] <erUSUL> del_: no problem
[12:31] <winterelf> sunny1: i didn't looked for an irc client.. i looked for changing a firefox visuality
[12:31] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: you have to post the url here ...

[12:32] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: « ls -l $(which sudo) »
[12:32] <winterelf> sunny1: any idea where is chrome.css located?
[12:32] <aeon-ltd> winterelf: .mozilla/firefox/jd8903mh.default/chrome
[12:33] <ReadPlease> output: /usr/bin/sudo
[12:33] <aeon-ltd> winterelf: well replace the jd8903mh with your profile id
[12:33] <winterelf> aeon-ltd: thanks
[12:33] <erUSUL> with the -l you should see the permissions too... that's what is wrong i think
[12:33] <winterelf> aeon-ltd: :)
[12:34] <ioannist> hi!
[12:34] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: should be -rwsr-xr-x ; note the s instead of an x in the first three
[12:34] <ReadPlease> k
[12:34] <c3l> kaddi: setting GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true could be nice too, as it changes the default depending on your last choice in the menu. also in the /etc/default/grub file
[12:34] <ReadPlease> Sooooooo.... any ideas what I should do?
[12:35] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: i still did not see the permissios of your sudo binary ...
[12:35] <kaddi> c3l: I am not getting to the menu anymore.. I go directly to grub rescue.. I asked in grub and they advised me to just reinstall grub
[12:35] <ReadPlease> It's not listed.
[12:35] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: add the -l to ls you misstyped the command « ls -l $(which sudo) »
[12:35] <c3l> kaddi: oh, sorry I must have misunderstood
[12:35] <ReadPlease> It literally just says /usr/bin/sudo in green.
[12:35] <ReadPlease> oh I typed -1 not -l
[12:35] <ReadPlease> Notice they are identical in this font. lol
[12:36] <ReadPlease> output: -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root<PHONE_NUMBER>-06-19 05:40 /usr/bin/sudo

[12:36] <ReadPlease> An x and not an s.
[12:36] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: some(one/thing) mangled the sudo permissions
[12:37] <ReadPlease> Sorry.  Just trying to catch Japanese by default.  I'll change it.
[12:37] <AbhiJit> ahh :(
[12:37] <AbhiJit> :'
[12:37] <ReadPlease> It was the freegin mySQL manual that mangled it.  That's what.
[12:37] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: you will have to boot into recovery mode root shell and do « chmod o+s $(which sudo) »
[12:37] <ReadPlease> Probably when I typed sudo chown root . or something like that
[12:37] <abhifx_> does anyone know how to start the font server?
[12:37] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: :(
[12:37] <ReadPlease> chmod o+s $(which sudo) eh
[12:38] <pksadiq> what does it mean by Open proxies? Flood

[12:40] <lxsys> hey #ubuntu, my Dual Xeon machine has a Geforce Fx5200 and performs awfully on all games and graphical applications. it has an AGP and a few PCI slots, what graphics card would you reccommend?
[12:40] <pksadiq> Sorry, Ijust didnot completed the question, ഹ
[12:40] <aeon-ltd> lxsys: something nvidia
[12:40] <aeon-ltd> lxsys: pci or pci-e?
[12:40] <lxsys> aeon-ltd: pci.
[12:40] <aeon-ltd> lxsys: damn.
[12:40] <aeon-ltd> lxsys: err, scrap my idea
[12:41] <mawst> aeon-ltd, something higher than FX series.
[12:41] <abhifx_> can anyone help me with this error could not open default font 'fixed'  my xserver is not working
[12:41] <aeon-ltd> mawst: tell lxsys
[12:41] <aeon-ltd> lxsys: see above
[12:41] <mawst> oh ya
[12:41] <mawst> At any rate
[12:41] <ReadPlease> erUSUL, drop to root shell, right?
[12:41] <tensorpudding> aeon-ltd: if you want a good graphics card, you'll probably need to upgrade the mainboard
[12:41] <mawst> nvidia made a 7800 AGP series card
[12:41] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: right
[12:41] <mawst> I would start there
[12:41] <aeon-ltd> tensorpudding: tell lxsys
[12:42] <tensorpudding> sorry
[12:42] <ReadPlease> when I type chmod o+s $(which sudo)
[12:42] <ReadPlease> is "which" literally "which"?
[12:42] <mawst> Sorry I'm stoned out of my gord right now.
[12:42] <mawst> Not much help.
[12:42] <skpl> haha
[12:42] <ReadPlease> skpl... that's an answer, isn't it?
[12:42] <tensorpudding> ReadPlease: which is a program, it tells you what program the argument refers to
[12:43] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: which is a command. it returns the full path of the command you gave as parameter
[12:43] <juk> is git and cvs same thing?
[12:43] <tensorpudding> juk: they are both version control
[12:43] <ReadPlease> so I do literally type which?
[12:43] <tensorpudding> juk: but they don't have much of anything else in common
[12:43] <tensorpudding> ReadPlease: yes
[12:43] <ReadPlease> okay cool
[12:43] <ReadPlease> it just went to a new line :)
[12:43] <erUSUL> juk: they are source code management systems. but they are quite different
[12:44] <erUSUL> juk: cvs is pretty much obsolete ...
[12:45] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: chack with « ls -l $(which sudo) » that permissions are now ok
[12:45] <erUSUL> check*
[12:46] <ReadPlease> still getting -rwxr
[12:46] <tensorpudding> why are you changing the permissions on the sudo binary anyway?
[12:46] <ReadPlease> because erUSUL told me to.
[12:46] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: ouch
[12:47] <juk> erUSUL: thatnks, i got confused
[12:47] <tensorpudding> hmm, so it's not setuid for some reason
[12:47] <ReadPlease> lol
[12:47] <ReadPlease> it says sudo: must be setuid root
[12:47] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: typo is u+x not o+x.... so; « chmod o-x  $(which sudo) » and « chmod u+x  $(which sudo) »
[12:47] <sharperguy> !ping
[12:47] <juk> erUSUL, tensorpudding: thanks!
[12:47] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: typo is u+x not o+x.... so; « chmod o-s  $(which sudo) » and « chmod u+s  $(which sudo) »
[12:47] <ReadPlease> k
[12:48] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: i need some coffee
[12:48] <ReadPlease> brb
[12:48] <ReadPlease> take your time.
[12:48] <tensorpudding> u+s would be what you want
[12:48] <erUSUL> is with s not with x ...
[12:48] <ReadPlease> and o not u
[12:48] <ReadPlease> wait u not o
[12:48] <ReadPlease> lol
[12:48] <lxsys>  #ubuntu, I need some advice.... I want to run nexuiz, would this work? http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Cards/Nvidia+AGP+Series/Arianet+GeForce+6200+256MB+DDR2+AGP+Graphics+Card+?productId=38057
[12:48] <tensorpudding> u for user who owns, o for other user
[12:49] <tensorpudding> it's a bit hard to remember
[12:49] <tensorpudding> just remember o for other, not o for owner
[12:49] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: please; give the « ls -l $(which sudo) » output when you are done. we have to verify we did not mess up anything ...
[12:50] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: it must be « -rwsr-xr-x »
[12:51] <ReadPlease> no dice.
[12:51] <Nede> hi
[12:52] <tensorpudding> wait
[12:52] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: show us how it looks like
[12:52] <ReadPlease> i got -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root numbers date time /usr/bin/sudo
[12:52] <tensorpudding> are you running this command as root?
[12:52] <ReadPlease> yes.
[12:52] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: root numbers ???
[12:52] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: ahh i see
[12:52] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: run « chmod u+s  $(which sudo) »
[12:52] <ReadPlease> it says, literally: -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root<PHONE_NUMBER>-06-19 05:40 /ur/bin/sudo
[12:52] <tensorpudding> how did you unset the setuid anyway?
[12:53] <erUSUL> tensorpudding: he is in recovery's root console
[12:53] <ReadPlease> By typing sudo chmod -R mysql ., I believe
[12:53] <ReadPlease> But I'm not sure.
[12:53] <ReadPlease> Something to do with mysql being garbage....
[12:54] <ReadPlease> I typed that erUSUL.
[12:54] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: recheck the permissions ...
[12:54] <tensorpudding> try chmod -c u+s /usr/bin/sudo
[12:54] <ReadPlease> ooo.  This time, the /usr/bin/sudo is highlighted in red!
[12:54] <tensorpudding> if it's highlighted in red, it's setuid
[12:54] <ReadPlease> that did it.
[12:54] <ReadPlease> actually, they both did it.
[12:54] <ReadPlease> my eyes suck.  sorry.  I had to listen to it twice.
[12:55] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: ok; now you can reboot to gui. sudo now should work...
[12:55] <ReadPlease> oh baby. ;D
[12:55] <ReadPlease> CH... mod... you the man, erUSUL.
[12:55] <erUSUL> ReadPlease: the rest of the damage that the commands you run did is unknown though...
[12:56] <ReadPlease> Well, the people at mySQL, and the manual, recommend that I do a binary install and NOT use the package manager because all the different operating systems aren't complying to their standards.
[12:56] <ReadPlease> lol
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> 'their standards'
[12:56] <moetunes> !lol
[12:56] <gzed> any how-to to activate gallium nouveau on maverick? xorg-edgers ppa doesn't contain the libgl1-fti-gallium package for maverick...
[12:57] <rww> !maverick
[12:57] <ReadPlease> Because ubuntu wants a system maintenance user, and that isn't acceptable.
[12:57] <ReadPlease> by mysql's standards
[12:58] <alex88> hi guys, i've installed the nvidia drivers, now plymouth shows me a ugly low-res splash..any way to solve this?
[12:58] <ikonia> ReadPlease: what ?
[12:58] <ReadPlease> or whatever... build guidelines
[12:58] <tensorpudding> a system mainenance user?
[12:58] <tensorpudding> you mean a separate user which runs mysqld or whatever?
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> alex88:  theres various fixs out  that might work.. but its an issue with the nvidia drivers and plymouth. I dont bother trying to fix it. :)
[12:58] <ikonia> ReadPlease: what does ubuntu not comply with in terms of mysql standard ?
[12:59] <chibihogoshino> is there a command to tell what files are being accessed and by what program ?
[12:59] <tensorpudding> chibihogoshino: lsof
[12:59] <ikonia> chibihogoshino: fuser
[12:59] <ReadPlease> They're saying 'blame your system build' because the command mysqladmin -u root password 'new-password' spits out "1045: Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: NO)"
[12:59] <ikonia> ReadPlease: no it doesn't
[12:59] <ikonia> ReadPlease: you've not set the root user password
[12:59] <alex88> Dr_Willis: oh...so i'll take it as is waiting for an automate fix with updates... :) last question, to unlock keyring on login? I've tried the libpam-keyring fix but i can't login after that
[12:59] <ReadPlease> I'm trying to.
[13:00] <rww> Fun fact: mysql package asks for a password for the mysql root user during installation
[13:00] <ikonia> ReadPlease: I've just read the back scroll in #mysql and they didn't suggest a binary install, nor did they say ubuntus package was not complient
[13:00] <tensorpudding> chibihogoshino: lsof lists all open files, so it'll produce a quite prodigious output, you might want to pipe it through grep
[13:00] <chibihogoshino> tensorpudding: yeah i saw that .. heh
[13:01] <ReadPlease> ikonia, you're misreading.
[13:01] <CT1> Hi. Is there an alternative to adobe flash plugin?  It doesn't behave well with 2 screens. (Always fullscreens on the leftmost screen)
[13:01] <chibihogoshino> tensorpudding: its a bit nuts
[13:01] <ReadPlease> The manual suggests a binary install.
[13:01] <erUSUL> !gnash
[13:01] <tensorpudding> lsof follows in the proud tradition of verbosity that unix logging tools seem to enjoy
[13:01] <ikonia> ReadPlease: no, you're missunderstanding
[13:01] <CT1> erUSUL: Thanks
[13:01] <chibihogoshino> tensorpudding: i want to figure out what is hitting my hd every few seconds so i can make it sleep longer when on battery
[13:01] <ReadPlease> check out 'how to get mysql'
[13:01] <ReadPlease> then look at the man page 'how to install mysql'
[13:01] <ikonia> ReadPlease: what ?
[13:02] <ikonia> ReadPlease: what are you talking about
[13:02] <tensorpudding> chibihogoshino: you could grep for files on the volume
[13:02] <ReadPlease> how to get does not list package managers... there is a warning in 'how to install' that says not to use package managers.  So, you're misreading or simply haven't read it.
[13:02] <ikonia> ReadPlease: please show me where that warning is
[13:02] <tensorpudding> chibihogoshino: using watch to refresh it every few seconds, for instance
[13:03] <ReadPlease> 2.2
[13:03] <ikonia> ReadPlease: please showme where that warning is - link to it
[13:03] <naxa> hi! I left my computer running when I was away for 2-3 hours, only a terminal and pidgin ran over openbox. After I came back, the terminal's and pidgin's screen-rendering response was very low. when I moved the window, it happened very slowly. however, the mouse cursor rendering was ok. I logged out and in, and everything was OK. what can be the cause?
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> alex88:  I set my keyring password to be emptym and select 'ok' at the 'use unsafe storage' option.. i so it unlocks automatically on login
[13:03] <Dr_Willis> alex88:  ive never needed any pam fix.
[13:03] <aeon-ltd> naxa: hdd went to slepp, loaded into ram then tried to unload? maybe
[13:03] <alex88> mhh..that's another way to do that..thanks
[13:04] <tensorpudding> naxa: sounds like the computer went into sleep mode
[13:04] <naxa> aeon-ltd, maybe... how can I check the settings? or is there a log of this?
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> alex88:  seems a lot safer way :)
[13:04] <aeon-ltd> naxa: no its just standard hibernate
[13:04] <alex88> safer but not secure :)
[13:04] <Dr_Willis> alex88:  if you want secure then you dont want it auto-unlocking in the first place.
