[13:27] <Dr_Willis> itmustbejj:  also i recall after running 'gksudo nvidia-settings' and enabling twinview, i had to restart the X server.. AND i recall once the 'user' having a monitor setting that was overrideing the  xorg.conf res setting.. so the user can also run nvidia-settings and tweak some things
[13:27] <heslam> philinux: it lists me as the "owner" of the walkman, but i have folder access (create and delete files) and no file access. i realise you'll just be guessing, but does setting file access to "read-write" sound like the way forward?
[13:27] <gbls> syria did you try service alsa<tab> restart
[13:27] <gnubuntu> walkmen??? @_@
[13:28] <phil_in_london> guessswh0, is the problem so consistent that you could set your watch by it? is it always 30 mins, or sometimes 15 and sometimes 45 ?
[13:28] <Syria> gbls: Should i copy and paste this??
[13:28] <philinux> heslam: Yep
[13:28] <timothy> fep: burn to CD if you can. You'l have to create partitions fro ubuntu though.
[13:28] <heslam> philinux: thanks :)
[13:28] <itmustbejj> gbls: my display was working at one point with the drivers from nvidia's website, but it took some tinkering to get it to work compositing.  Well after my last update that required reboot my nvidia module failed to load and modprobe no longer found it
[13:28] <DarkStar1> koem: a sec pls, trying to do this myself
[13:28] <fep> timothy: i had some problems with mbr when installing on other partition, but what is the difference between wubi and doing it manually?
[13:28] <itmustbejj> gbls: at which point I gave the nvidia-common a shot
[13:28] <gbls> dr willis: there are also issues with unloading the default graphics driver so that the nvidia one will work
[13:29] <guessswh0> I need to check, I don't know for 100% sure if it is every 30 minutes on the dot, but it is just about that time
[13:29] <fep> (wubi does the same just automatically as i have understood)
[13:29] <gbls> syria: no just type it in as it is
[13:29] <guessswh0> anyways, I'm going to go to the box now, I'll be back and report
[13:29] <gbls> itmustbe: whenever you install a new kernel you need to reinstall the nvidia driver
[13:29] <tennessean> sudo apt-get remove flightgear
[13:30] <timothy> fep: wubi installs ubuntu in your windows installation. This means it uses ntfs as its file system. ext4 is better for ubuntu
[13:30] <itmustbejj> gbls: ahhhh
[13:30] <fep> timothy: Oh, i didnt know that
[13:30] <gbls> itmustbejj: yeah it is a ROYAL pain
[13:30] <gnubuntu> If I ssh into a box and run MOC from the console is there anyway to stream the audio over the network so it comes out of the computer I'm SSHing from? JACK or PulseAudio?
[13:30] <itmustbejj> gbls so it wasn't that my previously drivers screwed up...just that I need to reinstall them. Lame
[13:31] <itmustbejj> *it not them
[13:31] <phil_in_london> guessswh0, you're not alone  http://serverfault.com/questions/142756/nic-going-to-sleep-on-ubuntu-server-10-04        there is a suggestion to create a small script, or cron job to do something as simple as ping every few minutes to keep the connection alive.
[13:31] <gbls> itmustbe: go back into runlevel 3 and then reinstall the nvidia driver using the nvidia installer
[13:31] <timothy> fep: about mbr, if you are going to dual boot then install ubuntu's grub in mbr. it will automatically detect and add a windows boot line
[13:31] <fep> timothy: Then i will try again. I will just shrink my disk and make a primary ext4 parition and shrink a swap primary partition, and just install on them? (and grub will automatically detect my win 7) , right?
[13:31] <timothy> fep: it should
[13:31] <gbls> guesswho: what is your problem
[13:32] <fep> timothy: do i have to choose "side by side" when i run the ubuntu installer? or just choose advanced partitioning and chose the partition?
[13:32] <fep> and when i do chose side by side, to i have to shrink and make the partitions before i run the installer?
[13:32] <timothy> fep: advanced partitioning
[13:32] <fep> i see
[13:32] <itmustbejj> gbls: how do I boot into runlevel 3?
[13:32] <dbc_> hello
[13:32] <fep> and both swap and the primary ext4 should both be "primary" ?
[13:32] <gbls> itmustbe: yeah I spent a year wondering why my computer kept dropping back to the nvidia-common drivers - i wasnt really paying attention though
[13:33] <timothy> fep: ul have to resize your windows partition if there is no space to install ubuntu.
[13:33] <fep> timothy: i know, i use shrink to do that, i rezise so i get two partitions, one swap and one for the ubuntu os
[13:33] <itmustbejj> gbls so I don't have to remove the nvidia-common, I can just install the proprietary one from the website on top of it?
[13:33] <dbc_> drop your pc
[13:33] <timothy> fep: not necessarily. they can be logical
[13:33] <fep> timothy: what is best, logical or primary?
[13:33] <dbc_> ubuntu
[13:34] <timothy> fep: how many primary partitions do you have?
[13:34] <fep> timothy: i hope grun picks up that i have win7 this time then ...
[13:34] <dbc_> 8go
[13:34] <timothy> fep: go for logical partitions.
[13:34] <fep> timothy: i will have one primary that is my win7 os, one extra for bootup (100 mb win7) , one 150 gig for ubuntu and one swap 2gig
[13:34] <fep> *grub
[13:35] <dbc_> pas de fraançais ici
[13:35] <dbc_> ?
[13:35] <gbls> you should be able to do it using init 3 - i think  - looking it up now
[13:35] <fep> ok, logical there is
[13:35] <BluesKaj> itmustbejj, look in the HW for the recomended driver in nvidia jockey
[13:35] <fep> timothy: both 150gig and swap as logical? and when that is done the grub will detect my win 7 and make a bootup list?
[13:35] <gbls> itmustbejj: I think so - the nvidia app should fix it all - if it doesnt work then you need to remove it
[13:36] <BluesKaj> !fr | dbc_
[13:36]  * Jozef sagt
[13:36] <fep> timothy: ok, thanks for the help, i will also read a tutorial about installing since i have had some problems with overwriting win 7 mbr when installing just as you explained
[13:37] <DrPoO> what do you guys recommend for a backup solution for 10 servers? I have a storage array, but should i just write a bash script to run rsync? or is there something more sophisticated that I could do?
[13:38] <the_german> DrPoO: bacula!
[13:38] <xinen007> http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=295975&start=0
[13:38] <timothy> fep: ok.
[13:38] <DarkStar1> gaahh.. can someone tell me if I\m doing this right: "C:\Tomcat 5.5\webapps" is the remote path I'm passing to SCP for the remote parameter Yet it can resolve hostname
[13:39] <tarzeau_> DrPoO: rsync would make a snapshot of a current state. what about the state of a few days ago?
[13:39] <the_german> DrPoO: IMHO the best free backup solution for linux
[13:39] <tarzeau_> DrPoO: there's some stuff using rsync and hard links (to save space)
[13:39] <gbls> drpoo: cron job with tar - simple and effective = OR bacula
[13:39] <erUSUL> DrPoO: rsnapshot ? rdiff-backup ?
[13:39] <erUSUL> DrPoO: if you want something based on rsync that's it
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> DarkStar1:  whats the full command line.. and what ssh server are you using on the windows machine?
[13:41] <gbls> itmustbejj: you still there?
[13:41] <DrPoO> the_german, can you store multiple snapshots of your data in bacula? or is it just one copy a la rsync
[13:41] <DarkStar1> Dr_Willis: I installed a cygwin and I'm running a ssh and scp server on the windows machine
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> DarkStar1:  if you are using cygwin.. are you suer the 'c:\whatever' path is even correct?
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> DarkStar1:  last i used cywin it did not use C:\ paths.  it used normal linux type paths
[13:42] <DarkStar1> Dr_Willis: the full command line is: scp ./test.txt<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"C:\"C:\Tomcat 5.5\webapps"Tomcat 5.5\webapps"
[13:43] <DarkStar1> Dr_Willis: Without the fir C:\ ofc
[13:43] <DarkStar1> first*
[13:44] <BluesKaj> DarkStar1, you can also try ssh for windows which uses a lighter version of cygwin ...works well on my setup
[13:44] <DarkStar1> BluesKaj: I need to keep an SCP server running
[13:45] <gbls> Darkstar: you cannot use windows \ paths with cygwin - you have to use c:/blah/
[13:45] <rhobuntu-user> I've just created a new user with adduser. Which commands make that user auto-login on startup?
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> DarkStar1:  from what i am reading on the cygwin docs.. you DONT use c:\whatever,. you could set up cygwin to have c set to mountto  /media/c   then you wouls access /media/c/whatever
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table
[13:45] <gbls> exactly dr willis
[13:46] <rhobuntu-user> !login
[13:46] <rhobuntu-user> !auto-login
[13:46] <rhobuntu-user> !autologin
[13:46] <bazhang> rhobuntu-user, /msg ubottu please
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> gbls:  so he MUST set up access to C from teh fstab.. even your C:/ may not work by default..  im skimming the docs some more..
[13:46] <Nisstyre65> rhobuntu-user: there's no such thing as "auto-login" afaik
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> rhobuntu-user:  gdm has a feature to auto login a specific user
[13:47] <rhobuntu-user> yay
[13:47] <Syria> Hi, The sound stops coming out from the speakers suddenly and I have to restart the computer to fix this.
[13:47] <rhobuntu-user> Dr_Willis how do I use it, preferably from terminal?
[13:47] <gbls> dr willis: from what i know of cygwin it is a shell that exists completely seperate to the windows shell - this is different to the previous versions
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> rhobuntu-user:  no idea.
[13:47] <rhobuntu-user> damn
[13:47] <BluesKaj> DarkStar1,  check this out , http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/
[13:47] <rhobuntu-user> How about GUI?
[13:48] <ylmfos> 怎么聊的呀
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> gbls:  im readign at the url i posted.. (it May be out of date) but it says that the window drives are accessable via /cygwin/c  or other such  names..
[13:48] <Syria> !cn | ylmfos
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> rhobuntu-user:  its in the admin menu.. login manager.. (logical name eh?)
[13:48] <theos> hey all! which software does ubuntu use to preview the audio files when we hover the mouse pointer over a music file?
[13:48] <rhobuntu-user> I'm not using gdm, how do I find out what I'm using?
[13:49] <gbls> theos: it is the nautilus
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> rhobuntu-user:  what did you install then?
[13:49] <Syria> Hi, The sound stops coming out from the speakers suddenly and I have to restart the computer to fix this.
[13:49] <theos> gbls, ?? i didnt get you
[13:49] <gbls> drwillis: maybe i havent set it up properly at work yet
[13:50] <rhobuntu-user> Dr_Willis: Nothing, came preinstalled
[13:50] <gbls> theos: the program that previews music is called nautilus - it has a limit of 10Mb files though
[13:50] <Dr_Willis> gbls:  ive not usese cygwin in years. :) i just am rereading the docs.. heh..  hope this helped whoever was doing it..
[13:50] <krihs_err_34> Hi, I am trying to mount roo.disk which is ext4 , but getting errors..can some one please point out a guide on mounting the root.disk ?
[13:50] <DarkStar1> Dr_Willis: Thanks I'm skimming through atm
[13:50] <Dr_Willis> rhobuntu-user:  so how do you know you are NOT using GDM?
[13:50] <gbls> syria: you should be able to restart it
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> DarkStar1:  seems to be the /cygwin/c/path/to/whatver is what you want..
[13:51] <gnubuntu> the c: is in /cygdrive/c?
[13:51] <Syria> gbls: i did not know how to restart it.:(
[13:51] <rhobuntu-user> Dr_WIllis: Cause I got an error
[13:51] <DarkStar1> BluesKaj: Already have cygwin installed with ssh running. Just need to fnish scp server setup and I'm done
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> gnubuntu:  from the docs i read - yes...
[13:51] <Syria> gbls: also restarting will not solve the problem.
[13:51] <Salminen> what was the #!/usr/bin/python line called in sourcecode files?
[13:51] <BluesKaj> rhobuntu-user, what desktop ?
[13:51] <Nisstyre65> Salminen: shebang?
[13:51] <Salminen> yeah that was it
[13:51] <Salminen> thanks again
[13:51] <krihs_err_34> shebangs :P shawbang
[13:52] <Nisstyre65> btw, fun fact, you can put spaces after the #!
[13:52] <DarkStar1> Dr_Willis: and this is what I give the SCP in the 2nd param??
[13:52] <Nisstyre65> so, #!     /usr/bin/lua is valid
[13:52] <theos> gbls, so what is the command for it in terminal?
[13:52] <gbls> syria: i had the same thing with an older version of ubuntu - the audio just stopped
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> DarkStar1:  scp wants a Linxy type path.. so yes...
[13:52] <chilli0> Hello , I need some help with gnome docky. for some reason all it does it copy text to clipboard
[13:52] <gbls> i had a script that restarted it but i cant find it anymore
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> DarkStar1:  your C:/ definatly is not going to work. :)
[13:53] <krihs_err_34> Hi, I am trying to mount roo.disk which is ext4 , but getting errors..can some one please point out a guide on mounting the root.disk ?
[13:53] <gnubuntu> DarkStar1 crashes pouring it's light into ashes?
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> krihs_err_34:  that is a disk image of a whole drive? or a partition on a drive? an image of sda, or sda1
[13:54] <gbls> theos: nautilus
[13:54] <Cipher-0> This is going to be kind of a spongy question: I've installed the latest stable Ubuntu server (CLI only) onto an HP desktop system. When I connect across the internet to SSH, it will intermittently lock up after about twenty seconds and all services stop responding. Give it's meant to be a web server, this is obviously a huge issue. Any guesses as to what can cause this behavior?
[13:54] <krihs_err_34> @Dr_willis: it's a file generated by wubi, when I installed ubuntu using WUBI
[13:54] <theos> gbls, ok then? if i want to preview a.mp3 then?
[13:55] <magnetron> krihs_err_34: please give us the error message
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> krihs_err_34:  perhaps read up at -> http://www.andremiller.net/content/mounting-hard-disk-image-including-partitions-using-linux
[13:55] <rhobuntu-user> Dr_WIllis: When I tried to open the gdm login manager I got an error saying that I wasn't using gdm
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> I dont know if wubi uses a partition image, or disk image.
[13:55] <JCStodds> Does anyone have some experience with fixing the sound problem that it only allows one audio source at a time?
[13:55] <gbls> theos: go to system/control center/ and under look and feel will be Nautilus Actions Configuration
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> rhobuntu-user:  so you are using GNOME as your desktop? or KDE?   You could always install gdm.
[13:56] <rhobuntu-user> no!

[13:59] <timothy> krihs_err_34: yep. try mounting using an ubuntu cd
[13:59] <erUSUL> JCStodds: pulseaudio should let that happen by default

[14:02] <ChesterX> hi, I just installed oo3.2.1 on my netbook (through the ubuntu software center), but I don t manage to get the icons to appear in the menu. How can I fix that?
[14:03] <nilsma> Q: after installing startupmanager (and changing resolution on splash etc) i can no longer boot ubuntu - i need help with editing commands in grub before booting - im on ubuntu 10.04, using grub 1.98
[14:03] <JCStodds> Yet, i'm still not hearing sound from programs such as: Pidgin, Flash videos in Chrome, and other videos like VLC
[14:03] <kryptyk> Mroning all! I've run into a curious issue. This morning when I logged into my machine, my desktop was blank - no wallpaper, no icons, no shortcuts, etc. Using 'ALT + F2" I launched Nautilus and everything suddenly displayed as expected. It is almost as if Nautilus is disabled on startup, but I see no entry for anything Nautilus related in System > Preferences > Startup Applications. Any ideas?
[14:03] <cse26> Dr_wills:bash: !mount: event not found
[14:03] <guessswh0> ok I'm back
[14:04] <Salminen> how do i find out what the compiler for java is? I installed the openjdk-6-jre.
[14:04] <guessswh0> I checked the bios and there is no powersaving mode for either NIC card
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> cse26:  that was a BOT trigger.. not a command you type
[14:04] <guessswh0> so it can't be that issue
[14:04] <van7hu_> faLUCE : you can use sakis3G,it's easier than usb_modeswitch
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> cse26:  did you notice the URL the bot sent you?
[14:04] <guessswh0> also checked /etc/hosts.allow and there is nothing there.  All hosts can connect at the moment
[14:04] <trond-> kryptyk, have you tried to restart. Could have been a nautilus-hick-up...
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> !mount | cse26
[14:04] <guessswh0> so there is nothing blocking it on that end either
[14:04] <guessswh0> so the server still keeps randomly losing connection, even in the middle of a ssh connection
[14:05] <kryptyk> trond-: Indeed - after multiple restarts the issue persists.
[14:05] <Pici> !test
[14:05] <timothy> nilsma: press shift before grub comes up
[14:05] <guessswh0> any ideas?
[14:06] <phil_in_london> guessswh0, not sure if you left before I pasted this.
[14:06] <phil_in_london>  guessswh0, you're not alone  http://serverfault.com/questions/142756/nic-going-to-sleep-on-ubuntu-server-10-04        there is a suggestion to create a small script, or cron job to do something as simple as ping every few minutes to keep the connection alive.

[14:08] <Dr_Willis> galternatives = gui for the alternatives system
[14:08] <itmustbejj> Dr_Willis finally got it working
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> itmustbejj:  great.. err.. got what working?
[14:09] <trond-> kryptyk, interesting. Can't really help you, but maybe someone will pick up eventually. Never had that experience before. Nothing related to Nautilus in my start-up either.
[14:09] <itmustbejj> Dr_Willis what I don't understand though is it takes me unplugging and plugging my monitors back in to make it detect the correct screen settings
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> itmustbejj:  weird. could be they are not wakeing up at boot time or somtning fast enough.
[14:10] <rhobuntu-user> My distro auto-logons as root. How do I reconfigure auto-login on LXDE?
[14:10] <itmustbejj> Dr_Willis I ended up reinstalling the proprietary driver off the nvidia website but it then it start booting into 640x480 on both screens until I turned my computer off, unplugging/replugging, and then turning my computer on
[14:10] <WinnipegGirl> Hi yall... just installed 10.10 Ubuntu Netbook Edition, and the darn thing is slower than windows 7. Is there a netbook alternative. Like, is Netbook remix interface still available?
[14:10] <Noble> Is there a rc that gets run at startup in ubuntu?
[14:10] <DeadmanIncJS> is anybody having an issue w/10.04 where it randomly locks up?
[14:10] <erUSUL> Noble: /etc/rc.local
[14:10] <AbhiJit> rhobuntu-user, ask in #lubuntu
[14:10] <itmustbejj> Does anyone know why it takes me unplugging/replugging my monitors to get the correct display settings detected?
[14:10] <NiCloAy1> Salminen: you can check java version ( java -version) or find which binary used to run app ls -l `which java` && ls -l /etc/alternatives/java)
[14:10] <NiCloAy1> )
[14:11] <kryptyk> trond-: No worries - not really a pressing matter, but a bit curious. Thanks anyways!
[14:11] <brendan_> hows it going
[14:11] <brendan_> ?
[14:11] <guessswh0> phil_in_london - thanks for that link, I've been looking for forum posts
[14:11] <guessswh0> I'll give that script a shot
[14:11] <timothy> WinnipegGirl: check jolicloud
[14:11] <DeadmanIncJS> hmm, im guessing no
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> WinnipegGirl:  10,10 has a netbook release..
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> WinnipegGirl:  kubuntu also has one.. but i wonder why yours would be slow
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> WinnipegGirl:  and 10.10 questions in #ubuntu+1 please
[14:12] <WinnipegGirl> timothy no, not looking for a different OS. I already tried MeeGo, and it was far too buggy. I'm just wondering if there is a netbook interface for ubuntu based on metacity, not mutter which I think is the cause of the slow performance.
[14:13] <tomspur> Hi
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> WinnipegGirl:  you can install the old netbook interface i recall
[14:13] <WinnipegGirl> Dr_Willis: Yeah.. but what's it called? I can't find it in synaptic
[14:13] <ChesterX> !hi|tomspur
[14:13] <Salminen> problem solved: I had taken java jre not jdk - no compiler in jre package apparently.
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> WinnipegGirl:  no idea. I dont use it any more.. used to be 'ubuntu-netbook' i think.
[14:14] <WinnipegGirl> ok Dr_Willis thanks. Will try in +1
[14:14] <tomspur> hi ChesterX
[14:14] <tomspur> I have a little problem with update-alternatives...
[14:14] <tomspur> I try to compile a program which requires mpi.h, so I installed openmpi*, but still mpi.h can't be found
[14:15] <tomspur> update-alternatives --config mpirun just tells me "nothing to configure" so doesn't help too...
[14:15] <tomspur> how can I configure openmpi to get it started?
[14:15] <chek0v> gentlemen, is there any real reason the website is saying 64bit is NOT recommended for daily desktop use? i dont recall seeing that on any prior ubuntu releases
[14:16] <Pici> tomspur: That file is included in libopenmpi-dev
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> chek0v:  its idiot proofing .. and asked in here all the time.
[14:16] <AbhiJit> chek0v, reason is web site is not updated
[14:16] <AbhiJit> !64 | chek0v
[14:16] <rhobuntu-user> q
[14:16] <chek0v> Dr_Willis: im running 64bit now, so i assume its bogus
[14:16] <Pici> tomspur: and I'm not sure what that has to do with update-alternatives...
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> chek0v:  if a user dosent know if their cpu is 64 or 32bit.. then its best for them to get 32bit..
[14:16] <chek0v> just wondered
[14:16] <rhobuntu-user> Thanks, well I'll be off
[14:16] <chek0v> fair enough
[14:16] <chek0v> thanks :)
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> chek0v:  yep. Its  been reported as a bug even. :)
[14:16] <chek0v> lol
[14:16] <timothy> chek0v: coz of flash issues maybe?
[14:16] <chek0v> appropriately so
[14:16] <AbhiJit> timothy, no
[14:17] <tomspur> Pici, "libopenmpi-dev is already the newest version."
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> chek0v:  see -> http://ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Marcel-Gagne-Orbiting-Planet-buntu/Stop-Apologizing-For-Linux
[14:17] <Pici> tomspur: Then you should have /usr/lib/openmpi/include/mpi.h
[14:17] <trond-> kryptyk, you should search launchpad and check if there is an issue related to this.
[14:17] <chek0v> prob because there arent 64bit pkgs for everything and not weveryone knows how to install ia32lib? :P
[14:17] <tomspur> Pici, update-alternatives should update all path variables and so on, so I guess, that tool is doing something a bit wrongly
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> chek0v:  ive have very few 64bit issues.. i can only think of 1 progam  thats ive used thats not 64bit now a days..
[14:17] <bruteforce_allti> wget -r -l1 *.ps http://www.cs.duke.edu/courses/fall01/cps230/Notes is giving an proxy error . Any way to dowload all files?
[14:17] <chek0v> Dr_Willis: me either, ive had only 1
[14:18] <tomspur> but I'm new to ubuntu, so I have no clue, where to look at right now :-(
[14:18] <chek0v> with a specific piece of legacy software that needed i32
[14:18] <tomspur> Pici, yes, that file is there
[14:18] <chek0v> ia
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> chek0v:  i dident even try it with i32. i found an alterantive. :0 znes is 32bit only  it sems.. :)
[14:18] <tomspur> Pici, but when running "make" I still get " error: mpi.h: No such file or directory"...
[14:18] <chek0v> Dr_Willis: heh, it aws wierd, OS reported file not found when trying to run the binary
[14:19] <chek0v> took a while to figure that one out.
[14:20]  * bruteforce_allti its not my day @ #ubuntu. 4 questions went un-answerd :P
[14:21] <ranjan> is it possible to run a 64bit os in 32bit virtualbox?
[14:21] <chek0v> aight, thanks for the infos, ya'll take it easy
[14:24] <Pici> tomspur: I'm sorry I'm not sure what to suggest, perhaps someone else can be of more help.  :/
[14:24] <bihari_> i have problem when i am on my computer i am getting this message on black screen "busybox v1.13.3 (ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ASH) enter 'help' list of built -in commands then...(initramfs)
[14:25] <Syria> Pici: Do you know why sound suddenly stops coming out from speakers. :( Lucid. all the sliders are 100% on alsamixer
[14:25] <tomspur> Pici, I'll try to install mpich2 and then update-alternatives should do its job...
[14:25] <Pici> Syria: I'm sorry, I'm not too keen on sound issues.
[14:26] <Syria> Pici: Thnn anyway.
[14:28] <blackdoggy> can any one tell me if it will be good to waste time setting conky ubuntu 1004?
[14:29] <AbhiJit> B.C. 1004??
[14:29] <blackdoggy> 10.04
[14:30] <Dr_Willis> blackdoggy:  Huh?
[14:31] <Dr_Willis> Theres conky helper tools out that can vive you a pretty conky config now a days for your system.  Or play with it by hand,.. if you want conky
[14:31] <blackdoggy> Dr_Willis i saw a nice setup of conky  in omgubuntu.co.uk was planning to setup like that it looks hard so just wondering.... do u use conky?
[14:31] <bihari_> i have problem when i am on my computer i am getting this message on black screen "busybox v1.13.3 (ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ASH) enter 'help' list of built -in commands then...(initramfs)
[14:31] <Dr_Willis> blackdoggy:  its used by a lot of people
[14:31] <alin_> hey ... how can I print one row from a command something like         ps aux  and pipe only the pid to a kill ?
[14:32] <alin_> ps aux | grep -i xchat | kill $1 ?
[14:32] <alin_> smth like this
[14:32] <blackdoggy> Dr_Willis , whats the story about downloading the screenshot  and copy paste to home folder and it works??? confused..
[14:32] <Dr_Willis> alin_:  with some extra commands to  alter the data. such as awk  or cut,  depedning on what  is needed to be done.
[14:32] <alin_> anyone ?
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> blackdoggy:  no idea qwhat you are refering to..
[14:33] <blackdoggy> Dr_Willis , let me find the link and post it here
[14:33] <NiCloAy1> alin_: |head -n1|awk '{print $1}'
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> blackdoggy:  some conky 'configs' can use extra files..
[14:34] <phil_in_london> alin, you could use pkill,    eg   pkill -f "/bin/xchat"         or whatever you're running.
[14:34] <alin_> NiCloAy1, I can do this w/o head -n1 ... thx a lot :)
[14:35] <nicofs> Hi! I am looking for a network monitor that can give me detailed information on my connections, especially 3G, like reception, signal strength and type of connection (GPRS/EDGE/UMTS). Any suggestions?
[14:36] <nicofs> (using xubuntu)
[14:36] <ryec> a strange issue, I installed ubuntu 10.10 rc from inside win 7, afterward, back into win7 my screen brightness is stuck at 100%, regardless what I set with the scroll bar
[14:36] <ryec> I used wubi
[14:36] <blackdoggy> Dr_Willis , found the solution.. it conkywizard... i think i should be able to  do it from here
[14:39] <binaryflow> I have updated to 10.10 and still cannot get Gwibber to connect to Facebook.  Every time it authorizes successfully and then never gives me the Add button.  I have deleted the gwibber folder, restarted and tried again.  It looks like facelib.py has already had its timeout values changed.  Any other options?
[14:39] <tsyj2007> hello
[14:39] <docsy> i was having a bit of trouble on 10.04, got it working just by not navigating or clicking away from the box when it was trying to add you
[14:39] <Salminen> what should i search if i simply want to install c++ stuff to code with?
[14:39] <docsy> you never know..
[14:40] <tsyj2007> I am using kubuntu10.10
[14:40] <Salminen> if i just search for c++ i get explosive amounts of text :)
[14:40] <Salminen> nvm
[14:40] <Salminen> tried the command c++ and got an answer
[14:40] <binaryflow> docsy: I've left it sitting for five minutes without changing screens...
[14:41] <submain> @salminen have you tried looking for g++?
[14:41] <Braber01> Hi all :) and good moring
[14:42] <Salminen> yeah submain, i tried just the c++ command and it suggested the g++
[14:42] <binaryflow> The weird thing is that my netbook (running UNR 10.10) was able to add the feed...
[14:42] <binaryflow> But my desktop running 10.10 desktop won't work.
[14:42] <Braber01> Salmien g++ is the gnu C++ compiler
yes?
gcc?is gnu c++ compile..
g++?is gnu c++ compile..
[14:43] <Braber01> tsyj2007 no gcc is gnu c complie g ++ is gnu c++ compile
oh,yes

[14:49] <elb0w> I want to mount a windows share from shell, how should I do it?
[14:49] <Dr_Willis> elb0w:  smbmount, or sudo mount with the proper options
[14:49] <Dr_Willis> !info using-samba
[14:50] <greppy> !info samba
[14:50] <Dr_Willis> !samba
[14:50] <tsyj2007> elb0w: mount /dev/sdaxxx /mnt
[14:50] <ariakus> elb0w: there is cifs package, ut it's disfunctional
[14:50] <elb0w> its a remote share
[14:50] <Dr_Willis> elb0w:  theres a using samba book in the samba-docs package
[14:50] <elb0w> The cifs gave me an error
[14:50] <tsyj2007> sdaxxx stands your hard
[14:50] <elb0w> smbfs?

[14:51] <theos> hello! pulseaudio crashes on my laptop. i have pa and alsa both. would you suggest removing pa?
[14:51] <Dr_Willis> elb0w:  you dont have spaces in your share name do you? whats the eact command you used? what was the error?
[14:51] <guessswh0> so I just created a bash script to apt-get every 3 minutes
[14:51] <guessswh0> er... and setup a cron job to run it every 3 minutes
[14:51] <ariakus> elb0w: your best bet is to use gvfs from nautilus
[14:51] <guessswh0> hopefully this will keep my server online
[14:51] <guessswh0> we'll see soon
[14:51] <guessswh0> thanks for the help phil
[14:52] <cse26> my pendrive is unable to detecting. when using command gparted /dev/sdb

[14:53] <layn> hi
[14:53] <theos> hello! pulseaudio crashes on my laptop. i have pa and alsa both. would you suggest removing pa?
[14:53] <tsyj2007> 孤独的山羊？
[14:53] <AbhiJit> no
[14:53] <Dr_Willis> elb0w:  use the proper options when mounting it. and be sure th shares permissions allow the users.
[14:54] <Dr_Willis> elb0w:  you dont chown a samba share.
[14:54] <elb0w> figured as much :P
[14:54] <Dr_Willis> at least i dont think you do. Or even can...
[14:54] <aeon-ltd> anyone use libreoffice yet?
[14:54] <theos> AbhiJit, was that reply for me?
[14:54] <ZykoticK9> theos, just an FYI, but Pulse audio relies on ALSA for low level soundcard support, so anyone with Pulse is also using ALSA.  2nd, I don't personally think you should try removing Pulse, but others may disagree.  Sorry, I'm not really any help to you.  Best of luck.
[14:54] <ariakus> aeon-ltd: it's a scam
[14:54] <AbhiJit> theos, no
[14:54] <aeon-ltd> ariakus: is it no different from openoffice?
[14:54] <theos> ZykoticK9, thanks for the info :)
[14:55] <ariakus> aeon-ltd: it's a clone of ooo with patches deeclined by sun team
[14:55] <aeon-ltd> ariakus: how is that a scam?
[14:55] <Nisstyre65> ZykoticK9: you don't need pulse for basic audio
[14:55] <hohohehe> alsa is ok for basic audio :D
[14:56] <ariakus> aeon-ltd: because 70% of OOO was developed by sun's engineers and libreoffice is just a ripoff
[14:56] <theos> hmm so the sound problem remains on my laptop. pulseaudio crashes after a while.
[14:56] <aeon-ltd> ariakus: but its fork made from the OOO devs
[14:56] <hohohehe> theos: it happens, just remove it
[14:56] <undecim> ariakus, aeon-ltd: Libre office is a fork of office that the devs made to "Free themselves" from Oracle, which aquired Sun and will likely not share the same values
[14:56] <ariakus> aeon-ltd: it doesn't even has its own bugtracker
[14:56] <nerdy_kid> i am using the "gtk2-engines-pixbuf" engine and no matter what them I do it turns out these nasty focus boxes around the widget that is focused.  see http://yfrog.com/6rbuglp  Is there a way to fix this?  thanks
[14:57] <theos> i have to restart the laptop to turn on sound again. this is really irritating. when i try to report for bug, it says "pulseaudio seems to have crashed"
[14:57] <undecim> ariakus, aeon-ltd: They are even asking Oracle to donate the OO.o name so they can make it a more official continuation of OOo
[14:57] <edbian> When are we going to see the window-lets?  11.04 ?
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  I will be suprised  if its then...
[14:58] <aeon-ltd> ariakus: meh i'll stick to vim/nano and format things when people need me to
[14:58] <AbhiJit> edbian, what is windows lets?
[14:58] <edbian> Dr_Willis, this is a bad sign for Ubuntu...
[14:58] <ariakus> AbhiJit: it's small icons on the right of titebar
[14:58] <Nooby> i need a bit of help please    i DL'ed my ATI drivers but cannot open or install them
[14:59] <AbhiJit> ariakus, hmmm
[14:59] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  the whole idea of windowlettes seemed some what pointless to me from the beginning...
[14:59] <Nooby> matter of fact i cant open anything to install it
[14:59] <undecim> Nooby: Is there any reason you are not installing them via System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers?
[14:59] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  for all we know the next gnome may have a better idea. (it may not)
[14:59] <edbian> AbhiJit, Ubuntu moved the close max/min buttons from the right hand side to make room for "window-lets"
[14:59] <theos> Nooby, did you try menu > system > admin > hardware drivers?
[14:59] <AbhiJit> edbian, ohhhh ok
[14:59] <Salminen> Small semi-unrelated programming/program language installation problem if anyone wouldn't mind checking: http://paste.ubuntu.com/506519/
[14:59] <Nooby> no but i will
[14:59] <popey> ebarch: windicators
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  at least that was one of the excuses.. (oh reasons..) they gave.
[15:00] <edbian> Dr_Willis, Why would they move the buttons a year before they were ready?
[15:00] <AbhiJit> edbian, ariakus Dr_Willis is this windows lets anyhow inspired from or related to m$crosoft wingfbdows?
[15:00] <nicofs> Hi! I am looking for a network monitor that can give me detailed information on my connections, especially 3G, like reception, signal strength and type of connection (GPRS/EDGE/UMTS). Any suggestions? [using xubuntu]
[15:00] <ariakus> AbhiJit: spell trademars right, would you?
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  to 'train' people to be used to it..  from what i recall reading..
[15:00] <edbian> AbhiJit, To.  It's an original idea.  However mac has had their close button on the left for years
[15:00] <edbian> Dr_Willis, :/  Ok, thanks for the answers
[15:00] <fcn> I have a problem with wireless on my Dell Mini Inspiron 1011. I installed the drivers using these insctructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing%20BCM43xx%20drivers
[15:00] <Nisstyre65> Salminen: are you sure you have that right? I'm not a C++ programmer, but that doesn't look like any syntax I've ever seen
[15:01] <AbhiJit> edbian, ok
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  my mac i think has them on the right... but its an old ppc mac. :)
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> First thing i do is move them back to the right on ubuntu...
[15:01] <edbian> Dr_Willis, really?  That must be VERY old
[15:01] <Salminen> Nisstyre65, it's old syntax but valid, but actually i think i found the problem
[15:01] <Nooby> i got menu>system then closest i find is package manager    also FYI im using !#crunchbang
[15:01] <Salminen> the compile command is supposed to be cc
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  its a handy doorstop right now. :)
[15:01] <Salminen> got g++
[15:01] <SCD[Eire]> OFFTOPIC: Anyone know what channel I can get help with C?
[15:01] <Salminen> gah
[15:01] <Nisstyre65> Salminen: no
[15:01] <Nisstyre65> use gcc
[15:01] <Salminen> O_o
[15:01] <Salminen> oh
[15:01] <undecim> Nooby: You will need to install the correct package then... I think it's fglrx-something...
[15:02] <ariakus> you missed namespace
[15:02] <Nooby> its a preconfigured package....no DL?
[15:02] <Pici> SCD[Eire]: ##C
[15:02] <undecim> Nooby: Yup
[15:02] <Salminen> ah
[15:02] <Salminen> i should apparently use .cpp file extention
[15:02] <Salminen> not .cc
[15:02] <undecim> Nooby: Installing with the package manager is much more preferred, too because you get automatic updates and can remove it easily if you need to.
[15:02] <Salminen> weird, every guide contradicts each other
[15:02] <ibrahim-kasem> Hi. can i share my wireless connection with my mobile phone please?
[15:02] <lucenut> Hey all. I have a printer attached to a windows machine on my network. I can connect to shares on the machine. How do I install a printer to print to it?
[15:03] <undecim> Nooby: Ah, looks like the package is just "fglrx"
[15:03] <lucenut> The printer is shared and I can print to it from other PCs.
[15:03] <gsker> how can I get postfix to take all mail from<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and put it on hold?
[15:03] <Salminen> nah same error still
[15:03] <SCD[Eire]> Thanks Pici also Salminen, what is up with that syntax? You haven't declared things lol
[15:03] <Nisstyre65> lucenut: samba can do it
[15:03] <Nisstyre65> I don't remember the exact steps, but it involves the web interface
[15:03] <undecim> Nooby: You can also get a GUI control center for it with the "fglrx-amdcccle" package
[15:03] <bobstro> ibrahim-kasem:  you mean use your 3g phone as a modem?
[15:03] <Salminen> it's a direct copy/paste
[15:03] <Salminen> i don't know c++ at all
[15:04] <Nisstyre65> Salminen: I HIGHLY suggest learning C first
[15:04] <gsker> It's just not clear from the docs.
[15:04] <bobstro> gsker:  what do you mean on hold? defer delivery?
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> !fdisk | cse26
[15:04] <ibrahim-kasem> bobstro: No, I have a wireless internet connection in my laptop and i want to transfer or share that connection to my nokia e72,
[15:04] <ZykoticK9> lucent, have you tried System / Admin / Printing - Add, then expand Network Printer - and try the Find Printer option.
[15:04] <Nooby> thnx....got it DL'ing now     i went through last night to look for that but it wasn't underanything i recognized
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> Hmm, no fdisk tutoral factoid..
[15:04] <timothy> lucenut: go to system, administration then printing and configure
[15:04] <Salminen> i need to to this for a school assignment actually :)
[15:04] <Salminen> if i was learning a new language i'd learn python
[15:04] <lucenut> I did smb://<IP_ADDRESS>/HP Photosmart C3100
[15:04] <Salminen> can't be impossible to get a darn hello world running
[15:05] <undecim> !who | Nooby
[15:05] <gsker> hold -- like defer but on hold. The issue isn't that it's where does ubuntu get it's config from.
[15:05] <lucenut> And it looks like it should work.
[15:05] <Nisstyre65> Salminen: print "hello world" : )
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> lucenut:  spaces in share names can cause AMAZEING problems...
[15:05] <SCD[Eire]> Salminen, learn C first :P
[15:05] <Salminen> Nisstyre65, that what it would be in python
[15:05] <gsker> I have a file with /holduser/ HOLD
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> lucenut:  just smb://that.ip.number should show the shares/printers
[15:05] <Salminen> i need to do a hello world in c++ :)
[15:05] <tgywa> Hi all !
[15:05] <lucenut> OK, so change the share name on the windows machine?
[15:05] <Nisstyre65> yeah, and you should get "The C Programming Language" if you decide to learn C
[15:05] <gsker> and postmap -q "holduser@whatever" regexp:/ext/postfix/regexp says HOLD.
[15:05] <undecim> Nooby: np. It's kind of hard to find that package if you don't know to look for ATI's own nickname for it
[15:05] <lucenut> OK
[15:05] <Nooby> !UNDECIM THANKS
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> lucenut:  get in the habbit of Never using spaces in share/printer names. :)
[15:06] <bobstro> ibrahim-kasem:  if the phone has wifi, can't it connect to the same wireless network? is the laptop using 802.11?
[15:06] <dio525i> trying to use tv out on macbook 3.1 ubuntu 10.10/10.04 output is jittery and fuzzy tried  xinerama/messing with xorg/xrandr configs nothing works is it this http://goo.gl/yznn ?? any ideas of what i should try or should i give up and go to sleep : P
[15:06] <Pici> Salminen: ##C++ is the best channel for c++ help
[15:06] <tgywa> I am getting SASL authentication failur ... could you please have a look at the log and get me some help ??? http://pastebin.com/yk2Wqv3V
[15:06] <SCD[Eire]> Salminen, use void main ()
[15:06] <bobstro> gsker:  /etc/postfix is where configs are. i'll be able to pick out your responses if you include my name!
[15:06] <SCD[Eire]> And then cout << "message" << endl;
 Salminen, use void main ()
[15:07] <Nisstyre65> NO
[15:07] <Syria> bobstro: The laptop is using 802.11 and the mobile has a wifi but can't connect to the same network, authentication issue.
[15:07] <lucenut> timothy - I don't see "expand Network Printer"
[15:07] <Nisstyre65> main is an int function
[15:07] <gsker> bobstro: sorry 'bout that.  yeah. I get that that's where the configs are, but how do I know what to name the file?  access?
[15:07] <Nisstyre65> not a void
[15:07] <SCD[Eire]> Nisstyre65 :(
[15:07] <ugliefrog> I have this weird issue in ubuntu...periodically my cursor flashes erratically  like a key is stuck....I cant use the right click on the mouse either when this happening...at times itll just last a couple of minutes then stop..and other times i have to unplug the keyboard and plug it back in...any ideas
[15:07] <Nisstyre65> sorry, but that's a real annoyance of mine
[15:07] <bobstro> gsker:  it's a normal postfix configuration at that point.
[15:07] <ariakus> Nisstyre65: doesn't matter
[15:07] <Nisstyre65> it just confuses people
[15:07] <Nisstyre65> and it's wrong syntax
[15:07] <cse26> DR-willis: !fdisk | cse26
[15:07] <cse26> bash: !fdisk: event not found
[15:07] <Salminen> lol Nisstyre65, all i needed to do was add int to the main part, int main instead of just main
[15:07] <gsker> bobstro: and where should I put a normal postfix configuration and what should it be..
[15:08] <Salminen> so my source was simply wrong
[15:08] <SCD[Eire]> Nisstyre65, there are no integers in Hello world if I remember correctly ^>^
[15:08] <Nisstyre65> SCD[Eire]: that doesn't matter
[15:08] <Nooby> next question    when i do DL a program    how can i open/install it?
[15:08] <Nooby> ive treis archive manager and tar
[15:08] <Nooby> *tried
[15:08] <theos> anybody can help me with my audio problem? the sound suddenly stops working after sometime. it only come back after i restart the laptop
[15:08] <SCD[Eire]> Nisstyre65, go away. I am just a C programmer trying to help :(
[15:08] <Pici> Nisstyre65, SCD[Eire], Salminen: #ubuntu isn't a programming help channel. Could you please move to a more appropriate channel, like ##C or ##C++ ?
[15:08] <ariakus> Nooby: you don't usually downoad programs in Ubuntu except firefox etc
[15:09] <Pici> Nooby: What program?
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> Nooby:  depends on  what you download...
[15:09] <lucenut> OK< found that timothy, but when I do "Find Network Printer" and do smb://<IP_ADDRESS> it finds nothing.
[15:09] <Nisstyre65> SCD[Eire]: it's wrong in C too
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> Nooby:  use the package manager/ppa/repos if you can.
[15:09] <Nooby> im attempting to upgrade flashplayer
[15:09] <SCD[Eire]> Nisstyre65, I don't use it in C ;)
[15:09] <Nisstyre65> and yeah sorry about the programming discussion
[15:09] <SCD[Eire]> I am too
[15:09] <ariakus> deb, rpm, source tec?
[15:09] <theos> Nooby, i prefer .deb for "manually downloading" softwares. just double click the .deb file and its done
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> lucenut:  you could also try the 'findsmb' and 'smbtree' commands. see what they  detect
[15:09] <SCD[Eire]> I PM you Nisstyre65? :P
[15:09] <lucenut> In terminal?
[15:10] <Nooby> !theos  where do i get/install said program?
[15:10] <elro> Hi, what's the recommended way to customise an apparmor profile? Is there an equivalent to rc.local or should I cusomtise the system provided profiles (in which case what happens on updates?)
[15:10] <timothy> lucenut: go to the web interface and add printer using this format  smb:domain/username:password@serverIp/printername
[15:10] <Nisstyre65> SCD[Eire]: yeah
[15:10] <ariakus> Dr_Willis: samba in ubuntu doesn't work with windows without tweaking
[15:10] <timothy> lucenut: cups web interface
[15:10] <ikonia> ariakus: yes it does
[15:10] <ZykoticK9> theos, do you happen to know if simply logging out and back in also resolved your sound issue?  are you using 10.04?
[15:10] <theos> Nooby, you can get the <name>.deb programs on the websites.
[15:11] <bobstro> gsker:  i've not seen it done for a single user, but i'm hardly a postfix expert. you might have more luck on postfix support channels.
[15:11] <Nooby> ok file extension then
[15:11] <theos> ZykoticK9, simply logging out and in doesnt help. yes i am using 10.04
[15:11] <Nooby> i have a .so file from adobe site
[15:11] <ariakus> ikonia: no, it doesn't support ntlm2 which is only 1 allowed protocol in Vista/7
[15:11] <theos> Nooby, yes deb is an extension.
[15:11] <lucenut> timothy - what is the cups web interface?
[15:12] <theos> Nooby, do you want to download flash player for firefox? or ubuntu?
[15:12] <ikonia> ariakus: I've got an ubuntu 10.04 box offering shares, and my windows desktop is currently connected to them ?
[15:12] <gsker> bobstro: well, the #postfix here is very silent.  I'm not looking for high expertise. Just how to tell ubuntu's postfix to use some file as an access filter....
[15:12] <Nooby> theos: thanks    more googling on its way lol   i research alot on my own just need to be pointed in the right direction once in a while
[15:12] <ariakus> ikonia: i'm talking about reverse scenario
[15:12] <bobstro> gsker:  so this is for mail relayed off-site for this user and this user only, right?
[15:13] <Nooby> theos: yes  firefox and im on crunchbang
[15:13] <theos> Nooby, anytime man. anytime! :)
[15:13] <ikonia> ariakus: ah, so ubuntu machines connecting to windows shares
[15:13] <timothy> lucenut: its the interface that enables you to configure printing using a web browser. go to http://www.cups.org/
[15:13] <ZykoticK9> lucent, http://www.cups.org/articles.php?L274 says to use http://localhost:631
[15:13] <Pici> theos: Crunchbang is not supported here, please use #crunchbang
[15:13] <bobstro> gsker:  if i understood better what you were trying to do, i might be able to make a helpful suggestion, sorry.
[15:13] <theos> Pici, err you mean nooby?
[15:14] <Nooby> pici: what is the channel for crunchbang?
[15:14] <theos> i dont even know whats crunchbang :P
[15:14] <timothy> lucenut: http://localhost:631/ is the correct address
[15:14] <Nooby> i tried #<name> and cant find anything
[15:14] <gsker> bobstro: mail being sent by a local user needs to be generated during the day, but held until the end of the day. Only for that user.
[15:14] <Nooby> crunchbang is ubuntu based as far as i know
[15:14] <timothy> Nooby: use tab to address a person
[15:15] <gsker> bobstro: I know I'm not being very clear. Trying to read the docs has clouded my mind.
[15:15] <unimatrix9> hi there
[15:15] <Nooby> anybody: what is the crunchbang channel
[15:16] <unimatrix9> is it an known fact that the 10.10 rc does not boot from usb install ( livecd daily build )
[15:16] <gsker> bobstro: like this http://www.irbs.net/internet/postfix/0209/2190.html but I don't know WHERE to put it.....
[15:17] <nothings1ecial> Nooby: /j #crunchbang
[15:17] <gsker> bobstro: what file does smtpd_sender_restrictions get put in?
[15:17] <ohio> how to do qt4 programming in ubuntu?i have qmake but is there anything more?
[15:18] <Salminen> what was the command to view a text file without leaving the default terminal window?
[15:18] <erUSUL> !info kdevelop
[15:18] <lucenut> What is the "domain" in this cups path syntax timothy?
[15:18] <gsker> bobstro: I'm giong to try putting  -o smtpd_sender_restrictions = regexp:/etc/postfix/regexp
[15:18] <erUSUL> !info qtcreator > ohio
[15:18] <lucenut> I don't really have a domain. Just an IP address.
[15:18] <gsker> into /etc/postfix/master.cf
[15:19] <AbhiJit> Salminen, cat file.txt
[15:19] <Salminen> thanks
[15:19] <timothy> lucenut: the domain is the domain name of your server (or the computer that the printer is connected to)
[15:19] <unimatrix9> is the 10.10 chat channel ubuntu+1 ?
[15:19] <greppy> yes
[15:20] <unimatrix9> okey thabks
[15:20] <lucenut> I don't understand domain.
[15:20] <unimatrix9> thank you
[15:20] <unimatrix9> hehe
[15:20] <lucenut> It's on a workgroup?
[15:20] <lucenut> There's no domain controller.
[15:20] <theos> anybody can help me with my audio problem? the sound suddenly stops working after sometime. it only come back after i restart the laptop
[15:20] <timothy> lucenut: is the computer a windows system?
[15:20] <lucenut> Yes
[15:21] <Dr_DeSTiNO> canali in lingua italiana di help a ubunto ??
[15:21] <timothy> lucenut: right click on my computer and check system properties
[15:21] <ZykoticK9> !it | Dr_DeSTiNO
[15:21] <timothy> lucenut: i think u shud find the domain name there
[15:22] <Dr_DeSTiNO> ok grazie ^^
[15:22] <mikebeecham> hi guys...I have a problem with plymouth....it's only textual, and not graphical.  I am on 10.10, but this has been happening since 10.04 as well.  Is there anything I can do?
[15:22] <lucenut> Yes, there's a "Computer Name" but no domain.
[15:22] <mikebeecham> All i see is "Ubuntu 10.10" with some dots underneath
[15:22] <mikebeecham> then some ttyl stuff
[15:22] <StaCole> ola buenos dias!!!
[15:22] <bobstro> gsker:  sorry, not something i've done.
[15:22] <lucenut> You have a choice of "Domain" or "Workgroup"
[15:22] <StaCole> hi, good mornig!!!
[15:23] <lucenut> This is simply a workgroup. No domain controller.
[15:23] <bobstro> mikebeecham:  it boots ok though? you can login to gnome after it boots?
[15:24] <mikebeecham> bobstro, oh yeah...everything is fine...it's just that Plymouth is not how it should be
[15:24] <StaCole> hi, some body can tell me, how i cant go to mexico chat?? :D
[15:24] <StaCole> no good inglish
[15:24] <bobstro> mikebeecham:  do you have plymouth themes installed?
[15:24] <franksterville> #mecxico?
[15:24] <timothy> lucenut: in the window that opens you shud see a tab named general and compter name
[15:24] <mikebeecham> bobstro...not sure...how would I check?
[15:24] <bobstro> mikebeecham:  synaptic package manager is probably easiest way. just each on plymouth.
[15:25] <StaCole> #ubuntu-mx
[15:25] <mikebeecham> just done that...all are installed
[15:25] <mikebeecham> both logo and 'text'
[15:25] <StaCole> #ubuntu-es
[15:25] <mikebeecham> I think my machine seems to be defaulting to text
[15:25] <StaCole> opss
[15:25] <timothy> lucenut: under general the computer is registered to you. what is the name that follows? under computer name the text that appears above workgroup is?
[15:25] <StaCole> i can't
[15:26] <StaCole> i
[15:26] <StaCole> some bady cant help me please?
[15:26] <Pici> StaCole: /join #ubuntu-es

[15:28] <kristiina> hi. how to flash the bios in ubuntu? hp mini 110-3030nr
[15:28] <JCStodds> Is anyone else having trouble with the sound in a flash video with firefox and chrome? I've been trying to fix it but i can't find a solution.
[15:28] <cse26> my pendrive is not detected in fdisk and gparted what can we do?
[15:28] <bobstro> mikebeecham:  sorry, i bounced. it's a workstation or server install?
[15:28] <ChaosR> okay, 1gbit switch connected, 2x cat5e 3m (new) cables connected, network benchmark reports 113MB/s, and yet, http&ftp will only transfer at 15MB/s, possible causes?
[15:28] <mikebeecham> bobaloo, workstation
[15:29] <mikebeecham> and now I think Iv'e completely buggered it up...
[15:29] <erUSUL> ChaosR: you are benchmarking the i/o to the disks
[15:29] <mikebeecham> I just uninbstalled the logo file "plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo" and now it's disappeared in synaptic and I cant find it
[15:29] <ChaosR> erUSUL: disk speed might be a problem, but I have benchmarked the network, will bench the disks later
[15:29] <erUSUL> ChaosR: that shoulb be higher than 15 MiB/sec but wont saturate a GiG link
[15:30] <bobstro> mikebeecham:  at terminal, you should be able to select the default used via 'sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth'
[15:30] <ChaosR> erUSUL: the disks should run at 60 to 70MB/s (last time I checked)
[15:30] <iusah> hola hay alguien paunas dudas?
[15:30] <erUSUL> ChaosR: then i dunno.
[15:30] <mikebeecham> bobstro, i just uninstalled the gui plymouth by accident :(
[15:30] <erUSUL> !es | iusah
[15:31] <bobstro> mikebeecham:  is it 'plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo'?
[15:31] <mikebeecham> how can I install it all again?
[15:31] <mikebeecham> bobstro, yeah
[15:31] <mikebeecham> I thought if I remove, then re-install it then things would work
[15:31] <mikebeecham> it uninstalled and disappeared from synatptic
[15:31] <mikebeecham> now I cant find it
[15:31] <franksterville> Chaos: so has to be the cpu end
[15:31] <bobstro> mikebeecham:  at terminal, try 'sudo aptitude install plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo'
[15:32] <mikebeecham> right...I think that did something...I definately installed something
[15:32] <ohio> how to do qt4 in codeblocks?
[15:32] <bobstro> mikebeecham:  now try the alternatives
[15:33] <mikebeecham> bobaloo, now, however, when I try update-alternatives, etc....i get "error: no alternatives for default.plymouth"
[15:33] <bobstro> mikebeecham:  you should find several to choose from in synaptic.
[15:33] <bobstro> mikebeecham:  you may need more than one installed, perhaps?
[15:34] <mikebeecham> I typed plymouth in synaptic and got about 6 files...but all were already installed
[15:34] <KRX> Здесь только по английски разговаривают?
[15:34] <bobstro> mikebeecham:  plymouth-theme-fade-in and plymouth-theme-glow are good alternatives.
[15:34] <mikebeecham> one was plymouth-theme-ubuntu-tex
[15:34] <mikebeecham> and the other logo
[15:34] <mikebeecham> dont have them
[15:34] <bobstro> mikebeecham:  you're on 10.04?
[15:34] <mikebeecham> 10.10
[15:34] <mikebeecham> but this happened on 10.04 as well
[15:34] <mikebeecham> which is why I came in here
[15:34] <bobstro> mikebeecham:  ah. what i'm describing works for me on 10.04.
[15:35] <mikebeecham> ahhh ok
[15:35] <bobstro> mikebeecham:  i don't even know if 10.10 is still using plymouth.
[15:35] <mikebeecham> ahhh
[15:35] <mikebeecham> that might explain it
[15:37] <kristiina> hi can anybody help please. how to flash the bios in ubuntu? hp mini 110-3030nr
[15:38] <Voting> Where are the current laptop test reports documented? I'm looking for something cheap, pretty powerful and light to carry around all the time (not a netbook, a pretty powerful laptop). Any suggestions for where to find a good deal and what I should get?
[15:38] <franksterville> flashing the bios has nothing to do with os
[15:39] <magnetron> kristiina: i think most flashing tools require a version of DOS
[15:39] <arvind_khadri> hi, when I do <<sudo farpd -i wlan0 net anyip>> i get an error message stating that farpd: bad pcap filter: syntax error, what should i do??
[15:40] <franksterville> kristina: http://goo.gl/WJ65
[15:41] <kristiina> magnetron: the file i downloaded from hp site is .exe (dos/windows). i don't want to install windows just to update the bios:( is there any way around it?
[15:41] <loculinux> hi
[15:42] <loculinux> hola, alguien por ahi?
[15:42] <franksterville> kristina: most likely that exe creates a boot disk (floppy)  or usb stick to boot from
[15:42] <IdleOne> !es | loculinux
[15:42] <magnetron> kristiina: you could use a FreeDOS live CD or boot floppy
[15:45] <lloowen> Hello all! I'm messing around with a bare bones ubuntu (no x server) and I'm having problems configuring it to use the keyboard layout of my pc. When I go to /etc/X11/xkb there is nothing in there! Where can I configure to get ubuntu to use the keyboard layout I want(swedish)?
[15:45] <acicula> you have trouble configuring X?
[15:45] <acicula> or the text terminal
[15:46] <lloowen> I just want Ubuntu to run from the command line only
[15:46] <lloowen> So no gui
[15:46] <acicula> then X11 stuff is of no use
[15:46] <acicula> err
[15:46] <nicofs1> Hi! I am looking for a network monitor that can give me detailed information on my connections, especially 3G, like reception, signal strength and type of connection (GPRS/EDGE/UMTS). Any suggestions? [using xubuntu]
[15:46] <lloowen> So where can I configure the keyboard layout?
[15:46] <acicula> by no GUI you mean no graphical environment on which you run a terminal, but just barebone terminal, you login via a text console?
[15:46] <AbhiJit> nicofs1, try in #xubuntu
[15:46] <IdleOne> !locales | lloowen
[15:47] <lloowen> yes that's right just command line only
[15:47] <lloowen> ubottu: thanks I'll take a look
[15:47] <franksterville> acicula: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop if you're using gnome and kdm for kde
[15:47] <acicula> lloowen: see the wiki page, sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data seems to be what you want
[15:47] <ariakus> why my pagefile is IN USE when 50% RAM is FREE??
[15:47] <arvind_khadri> hi, when I do <<sudo farpd -i wlan0 net anyip>> i get an error message stating that farpd: bad pcap filter: syntax error, what should i do??
[15:47] <nicofs1> AbhiJit: i guess such a tool would be independent of the GUI i use...
[15:47] <SmokeyD> hey everyone. I am trying to setup a chroot jail for ssh/rsync/sftp on my ubuntu machine with jailkit. But somehow after installing with ./configure make make install, the jailkit binaries look for the config files in /usr instead of /etc/jailkit/. Any ideas how to solve this
[15:48] <SmokeyD> ?
[15:48] <acicula> franksterville: i like my x running ;)
[15:48] <AbhiJit> nicofs1, not in case of xfce
[15:48] <franksterville> oops wrong guy lol
[15:48] <rolandpish> is it possible to install liquorix kernel in a ubuntu lucid desktop? or liquorix is only for a debian pure?
[15:48] <AbhiJit> nicofs1, you can ask here but peoples in #xubuntu may know more about it
[15:48] <Aldus> hi. Is there some way to embed the password in a ssh connection command? like:  ssh myuser:mypassword@myhost
[15:48] <Aldus> (or some equivalent parameter)
[15:49] <nicofs1> AbhiJit: that's why i ask here... i tried gkrell (which is not Xfce) an it didn't quite do what i needed...
[15:49] <acicula> SmokeyD: err probably because those files need to be available within the jail, whats the root of of your jail?
[15:49] <ariakus> and average processor lad is 10%?!
[15:50] <AbhiJit> nicofs, and thats why i suggested you to ask in #xubuntu
[15:50] <acicula> ariakus: because swap and memory is used for more then just programcode
[15:51] <SmokeyD> acicula: /jail for now. But jk_init already looks for the files when copying the binaries to the jail. I had the same propblem with the jk_init.ini config file, but the location of that file can be specified with the -c option, which works. But now I have the same problem with jk_socketd.ini
[15:51] <acicula> given the chance ubutun will cache your entire disk. look at the buffers section and you'll see that its just keeping a lot of stuff cached.
[15:51] <Voeron> hi
[15:51] <ariakus> likss
[15:51] <acicula> SmokeyD: well the binary may have some hardcoded path set at runtime where it looks for the config files?
[15:51] <ariakus> *e?
[15:52] <Voeron> could someone help me out?
[15:52] <acicula> can you just give it the right path as an argument?
[15:52] <nicofs> AbhiJit: but it's not due to me using Xfce and gkrell being GNOME that i wasn't happy with it...
[15:52] <aeon-ltd> !ask | Voeron
[15:52] <AbhiJit> nicofs, amm
[15:52] <SmokeyD> acicula: maybe, but how can I fix it?
[15:52] <kristiina> magetron: OK. i don't have a cddrive but usbstick i have.
[15:52] <nicofs> AbhiJit: i am just desperately looking for ANY tool to help with my 3G connection...
[15:52] <acicula> SmokeyD: if your program cant find the config file it probably has a command line option where you can explicitly tell ti the location of the config file?
[15:53] <acicula> nicofs: whats not working ?
[15:53] <AbhiJit> nicofs, why not search in software center?
[15:53] <AbhiJit> nicofs, wifi radar
[15:53] <acicula> radar doesnt do anything with 3G?
[15:53] <AbhiJit> widc etc
[15:54] <SmokeyD> acicula: yes, that is what I said. The normal config file can be specified with the -c option, and that works. But now it failed because it couldn't find another file (which is also a config file I guess, but not the main one)
[15:54] <Voeron> I can't install ati mobility radeon hd 2400 fglrx driver?
[15:54] <acicula> SmokeyD: ah, did you give a prefix when configuring the file, or maybe there is a path in the main config file, or an environmental variable that it sues
[15:54] <aeon-ltd> Voeron: what happens when you try?
[15:54] <acicula> *uses
[15:54] <acicula> Voeron: are you sure glfrx is supposed to support the hd2400?
[15:54] <nicofs> acicula: i can connect, but if the signal is gone, the icon in the task bar still tells me i am connected for quite some time... i can never tell if i am actually still connected - and if so - if i use GPRS, EDGE or UMTS
[15:55] <Voeron> no
[15:55] <timothy> nicofs: if u bought ua modem from a local vendor they hopefully should have supplied a linux script to install the modem software in linux. check ua modem folder again. I know huawei supply a script
[15:55] <acicula> nicofs: i have experienced that same problem also
[15:55] <acicula> nicofs: are you using a modem or phone via usb or bluetooth?
[15:55] <Voeron> acicula: i'm not sure
[15:55] <SmokeyD> acicula: no I didn't give a prefix, and by default the prefix is /usr. And somehow it looks for the file in /usr instead of /etc
[15:55] <manfredrasta> To make my printer working on lubuntu 10.04, i have download a file called hplip-3.10.9.run and saved it in my desktop. I opened it with the terminal and installed everything ok. The thing is that it has created a folder called hplip-3.10.9 in my desktop. Can I put that folder in another place?
[15:56] <nicofs> acicula: i am using an integrated huawei em770w
[15:56] <dustincurrie> join #drupal-dallas
[15:56] <acicula> nicofs: so modem
[15:56] <nicofs> acicula: sorry, yes.
[15:57] <acicula> SmokeyD: it looks in /usr/etc/jailstuff?
[15:57] <acicula> Voeron: is it an AGP or PCI card?
[15:57] <SmokeyD> acicula: no, in /usr
[15:57] <SmokeyD> it just leaves out the /etc
[15:57] <Voeron> first thing i installed ubuntu it informed me that 'No proprietary drivers are in use on this system'
[15:58] <SmokeyD> but this is before the chroot is actually setup. Forget about the chroot part. This is an init script to setup a chroot which needs the config file only to know which files and stuff are to be copied
[15:58] <SmokeyD> acicula: I guess it is a problem with jailkit. I'll take it up with the jailkit people. Thanks for helping though.
[15:59] <acicula> ah, ok
[15:59] <Voeron> after i tried to activate it gave me this error:'SystemError: installArchives() failed'
[15:59] <acicula> Voeron: err it seems an ati2400 should be supported by the flgrx drivers, this on a laptop btw? Have you tried enabling the hardware driver via administration->hardware drivers ?
[16:00] <Voeron> acicula: yes
[16:00] <Voeron> acicula: there's the problem i'cant activate it
[16:00] <acicula> nicofs: does it look like a usb stick or?
[16:00] <acicula> Voeron: whats the error?
[16:00] <nyk2005> Is it somehow possible to run an intel 32bit binary on a powerPW running ubuntu?
[16:00] <Voeron> acicula: installArchives() failed
[16:01] <nicofs> acicula: no, it's weldet into my netbook. but to the system it is a usb device /dev/ttyusb1, i think...
[16:01] <acicula> thats the exact error message?
[16:01] <Voeron> acicula: yep
[16:01] <acicula> nicofs: can you paste the output of lspci | grep Network
[16:01] <acicula> you click and then you get a popup message? have you installed drivers yourself from the ati site?
[16:02] <oski> moro
[16:02] <Voeron> acicula: no i haven't
[16:02] <tacomaster> hey does kubuntu have like a system > admin > hardware driver like ubuntu has or does it not have it
[16:02] <AbhiJit> tacomaster, #kubuntu
[16:03] <ariakus> how to reduce cpu usafge whe n system idle?
[16:03] <acicula> ariakus: shut down programs like bittorrent or other peer2peer, skype, im and twitter clients, browser, etc
[16:04] <nicofs> acicula: what are you trying to do? technically, my connection is working... i just need a tool to monitor it...
[16:04] <acicula> figuring out your device and having a look at the wiki
[16:05] <acicula> as i remember reading about some huwai modems having some connection dropping issues
[16:05] <StErMi> I everyone, i need to allow www-data to access to mysql. How can I do it?
[16:06] <acicula> if you just want to monitor your modems actions the best source is syslog, just tail syslog and grep for modem
[16:06] <nicofs> acicula: it won't be in lspci... it's lsusb
[16:06] <acicula> nicofs: eh yeah correct
[16:06] <miyamoto> am having big problem with ubuntu just ma head is gonna bang .....can any one help me to solv it
[16:06] <aeon-ltd> !ask | miyamoto
[16:06] <nicofs> acicula: however lsusb | grep Network doesn't return anything
[16:07] <Substrata> hi
[16:07] <kristiina> magnetron: would you know how to do it exactly?
[16:07] <ariakus> there's only system monitor and xchat running but processor is at 15% and hot as hell
[16:07] <acicula> heu
[16:08] <dig> Empathy is not saving my information, every time I turn the computer on, I have to type in my gtalk and msn account information !!!
[16:08] <gsker> I need some postfix help on ubuntu. I can't seem to get smtpd_sender_restrictions=check_sender_access map:/etc/postfix/regexp to work
[16:08] <dig> what should I do?
[16:08] <miyamoto> help me to work headphone in ubuntu
[16:08] <nicofs> acicula: http://pastebin.org/28549
[16:08] <acicula> can you see if you can find it by hand then in the output?
[16:08] <acicula> thanx, heh thats a remarkebly descriptive identification
[16:10] <dig> Empathy is not saving my information, every time I turn the computer on, I have to type in my gtalk and msn account information, what's the matter with this thing?
[16:10] <gsker> I need some postfix help on ubuntu. I can't seem to get smtpd_sender_restrictions=check_sender_access map:/etc/postfix/regexp to work
[16:10] <miyamoto> sud i install driver o something to make headset work
[16:10] <gsker> oops. i just posted that twice.  sorry
[16:10] <odb|fidel> repeating a problem is not really helpful dig & gsker
[16:11] <dig> I'm getting pretty sick of garage software.
[16:12] <odb|fidel> dig: checked if that is a known bug with empathx?
[16:12] <dig> yes
[16:12] <odb|fidel> dig: you could easily just use another IM
[16:12] <dig> nice solution.
[16:12] <dig> like my bank: our site is not compatible with windows 7. Please, install Windows XP.
[16:13] <dig> LOL.
[16:13] <acicula> nicofs: well i cant make out the model from that output, though the manufactur and productid do give some hits. If you are using the networkmanager applet you should be able to see some error messages by tailing your syslog file
[16:13] <fixxxermet> Can I add the 10.04 repo to 9.10 so that I can install the newer version of munin?
[16:13] <odb|fidel> dig: have i called that a solution no - but it seems like you want to help yourself ...good luck
[16:13] <acicula> nicofs: tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep Network and tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep modem should work
[16:13] <Gangrel> anyone can tell me how to cose a running program that can not close with "x" or xkill -all ?
[16:13] <nicofs> acicula: but why should i be having error messages? technically, nothing is wrong...
[16:13] <acicula> nicofs: well its disconnecting and you want to know why right?
[16:14] <gsker> Gangrel: kill -9   ?
[16:14] <aeon-ltd> miyamoto: it should be plug and play, what kind of headset is this?
[16:14] <gsker> Gangrel: ps -ef to find the program  and then kill -9 the process number
[16:15] <ariakus> Gangrel: killall -KILL <process-name>
[16:15] <Mr_Blik> how do i insatll kde?
[16:15] <nicofs> acicula: not exactly... if the train i'm goes through a tunnel i kind of know, why i loose connection... but it takes the network-manager too long to realize that and change to "diconnected". and apart from that it gives no information as to what connection i use (EDGE/UMTS)...
[16:16] <Mr_Blik> anyone help me
[16:17] <acicula> nicofs: ah, well have a look at what the modem manager outputs to the log, if anything. thats what governs what the applet will tell you
[16:17] <Mr_Blik> how do i install KDE on my matchine without the CD
[16:17] <bastidrazor> Mr_Blik: install kubuntu-desktop and during login you can select which you wish to boot to. gnome or kde
[16:17] <AbhiJit> Mr_Blik, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[16:17] <Injection33> i'm trying to kill NetworkManager,  but the command killall -KILL NetworkManager, kills it but it comes right back
[16:17] <acicula> nicofs: if id have to guess your phone will try for awhile to reconnect even though it fails
[16:17] <nova> has anyone ever heard of mouse clicks not registering after utilizing the volume keys on a keyboard after an upgrade to Maverick?
[16:17] <acicula> which will nuke your connection but makes networkmanager believe its still working.
[16:17] <nicofs> acicula: my problem is more aesthetical than technical... because after i have lost connection because i moved away from the antenna, i have no way of knowing, when i am back in an area with reception - because there is no tool to tell me that...
[16:17] <Gangrel> ariakus not working
[16:18] <acicula> nicofs: well that all depends on what the modem is saying
[16:18] <delarue> os
[16:18] <tomhackman> hello every one
[16:18] <Mr_Blik> thanks
[16:19] <e-DIO-t> mmh sorry but: how do i get samba users list in 10.04 [smb 3.4-7]?
[16:19] <Mr_Blik> tomhackman: hi
[16:19] <komeil> hi :)
[16:19] <acicula> i ahd the same issue in deadspots, the phone would take forever to resync a connection once it came out of a dead zone, and never told the modemmanager that it had reconnected
[16:19] <komeil> i have a problem with my ubuntu
[16:19] <martin__> HI I get an error saying my packages cant be verified
[16:19] <acicula> so that kind of fubared the whole connection from thereon in
[16:19] <aeon-ltd> !details | komeil
[16:19] <nicofs> acicula: in what way can the modem tell me anything?
[16:19] <komeil> i remove my windows Xp and setup ubuntu
[16:20] <acicula> nicofs: the modem interaction is handled by the modemmanager program
[16:20] <aeon-ltd> !enter | komeil
[16:20] <komeil> then this error show
[16:20] <nova> martin try reloading your packages
[16:20] <komeil> GRUB Loading stage1.5.
[16:20] <komeil> GRUB loading, please wait...
[16:20] <komeil> Error 22
[16:20] <komeil> so, i cant setup windows Xp or use my ubuntu
[16:20] <acicula> that tells the modem what to do, how to connect etc. and the modem in turn gives it status updates and error messages which ussualyl get passed on to the network manager applet
[16:20] <komeil> what can i do to fix that?
[16:20] <nicofs> acicula: all i can see is "connected" or "disconnected"...
[16:21] <ariakus> how to fix high processor load when only 1-2 programs arerunning?
[16:21] <aeon-ltd> komeil: reinstall ubuntu
[16:21] <aeon-ltd> ariakus: more details, what are they?
[16:21] <aeon-ltd> ariakus: also what cpu?
[16:22] <komeil> aeon-ltd:I try but I cant!
[16:22] <acicula> nicofs: err it should log a bit more then just that in syslog, try using cat instead of tail to search the entire syslog instead of the last few lines
[16:22] <aeon-ltd> komeil: more details please
[16:22] <odb|fidel> komeil: if thats a new install without important data-  reinstall might be a quick way - while you could try to fix your grub bootmanager as well. Searching for that error code 22 should show up tons of threads about this issue
[16:23] <ariakus> aeon-ltd: xchat + system monitor; 1.73 singlecore is at 15%
[16:23] <odb|fidel> the reinstall method makes sense if you arent used to linux && if that ubuntu install wanst used before at all - which saves the troubleshooting. Depends on your time & knowledge at the end
[16:23] <aeon-ltd> ariakus: anything in background?
[16:24] <nicofs> acicula: sorry... i didn't realize you were talking about that tail stuff... atm that doesn't say anything, because i use WiFi instead of 3G... should i connect via 3G and try it?
[16:25] <bastidrazor> komeil: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351   this should help you fix your error 22 in grub
[16:25] <peppeuz> hi guys, please help me. i'm getting crazy, seriously! i can't install the driver for mi usb wifi adapter. here its name from lsusb: Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bb4:0ffc High Tech Computer Corp.
[16:25] <ariakus> panel applets ony and whatecer gnome put thhere
[16:25] <komeil> bastidrazor: tnx :)
[16:25] <Injection33> peppeuz, do you have the driver?
[16:25] <peppeuz> sorry, here it is: Bus 004 Device 002: ID 148f:2070 Ralink Technology, Corp. RT2070 Wireless Adapter
[16:26] <peppeuz> injection33: I think so. a filed called rt2780.bin but i have no idea how to install it
[16:26] <Injection33>  sh rt2780.bin
[16:26] <aeon-ltd> komeil: well to be fair 15% of 1.73ghz is about 250mhz which is alright for graphical irc (if you've got some channels open in the background)
[16:26] <peppeuz> if this works, i'm really stupid.
[16:26] <gucko> hi guys
[16:27] <z11> need to back up / & /home partitions, remove winxp, repartition and then restore / and /home to new and larger partitions. What command is best and safest to accomplish this without complications?
[16:27] <gucko> i have a Macbook and i want to install Ubuntu. Is it true that doing so will burn the CPU?
[16:27] <Injection33> gucko, no
[16:27] <Ken8521> does anyone know where Chrome's configuration files are?  they aren't in /home/user/.chrome
[16:27] <stilia-johny> hi paidia..
[16:27] <acicula> nicofs: if you want to se some output then yeah, but http://pastebin.com/URd9XhAP is an example of what you get
[16:27] <stilia-johny>  mporei kaneis na m boi8isei me to remastersys?
[16:27] <aeon-ltd> gucko: no, thats a myth, it may not run nice with OSX but no it will not burn the cpu unless somehow you overclock with the fan
[16:27] <gucko> Injection33: many people told me, it's true
[16:27] <ariakus> !gr
[16:28] <Jigal_> hello just a general linux question: when i tell phpunit to save a file in ./logs/report where will i be able to find it?
[16:28] <Injection33> gucko, if you know it's true why did you ask
[16:28] <peppeuz> injection33: it doesn't work.
[16:28] <peppeuz> rt2870.bin: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
[16:28] <acicula> the states can tell you what the phone is doing, and it should spit out a human readable error if something goes wrong
[16:28] <odb|fidel> Ken8521: check .config in your users home
[16:28] <gucko> Injection33: maybe you're not so sure
[16:28] <Misterio> gucko: It won't do, usually processors have thermical-sensors and they shutdown automatically PC
[16:29] <Ken8521> odb|fidel, that's it.. thanks man
[16:29] <Injection33> gucko, it wont burn your cpu
[16:29] <gucko> Misterio: a guy who work in an Apple store told me that. he's a friend of mine. He told me that they get many macbooks burned cuz of that
[16:29] <odb|fidel> Ken8521: np
[16:29] <ariakus> gucko: city legends
[16:29] <Injection33> peppeuz, oops sorry chmod +x rt2870.bin then ./rt2870.bin
[16:29] <acicula> nicofs: the only other technique to check if the network is still up without the system realizing its down is to just ping the gateway of the network
[16:29] <aeon-ltd> gucko: bull.
[16:30] <aeon-ltd> gucko: propaganda coming from the apple store
[16:30] <Jigal_> hello just a general linux question: when i tell phpunit to save a file in ./logs/report where will i be able to find it?
[16:30] <ariakus> gucko: contact mythbusters show :)
[16:30] <Injection33> aeon-ltd exactly
[16:30] <odb|fidel> gucko: if so - its related with the SMC chip afaik
[16:30] <keshav> join #motus
[16:30] <gucko> odb|fidel: yeah something like that
[16:30] <odb|fidel> but i havent heard of any real problem myself either
[16:30] <ariakus> why Xorg takes any processor time at all?
[16:30] <peppeuz> injection33: doesn't work yet...
[16:31] <komeil> bastidrazor: terminal cant find my boot and show this message: Error 15: File not found
[16:31] <aeon-ltd> gucko: btw dualboot ubuntu and osx isn't nice, takes a lot more work than a pc install
[16:31] <gucko> odb|fidel: they told me about a circuit that relays on software rather than hardware and only OS X knows how to determine the voltage for it
[16:31] <Misterio> gucko: hahaha
[16:31] <odb|fidel> gucko: thats similar to the infos i got years ago
[16:31] <stilia-johny> can any help me with remastersys
[16:32] <odb|fidel> gucko: while again - i know several mac users running linux on those boxes
[16:32] <stilia-johny> remastersys help?
[16:32] <acicula> well in some instances you can adjust the vCore of a processor via software
[16:32] <odb|fidel> gucko: so finaly you wount find a 100% answer
[16:32] <nicofs> acicula: http://pastebin.org/28579
[16:32] <odb|fidel> *will not*
[16:32] <ariakus> stilia-johny: check their forums
[16:32] <acicula> i dont know if macosx does that when it downclocks, but that'll help with temperatures for sure
[16:32] <acicula> you can do it under linux with some processors too
[16:33] <komeil> bastidrazor: ?
[16:33] <mrmcgibby> After a recent reboot, fglrx doesn't seem to work.  log at http://paste.ubuntu.com/506578/
[16:33] <nicofs> acicula: to me, that looks healthy... but atm i can't simulate sitting in a train and loosing the signal...
[16:33] <acicula> nicofs: using vwdial?
[16:33] <ariakus> are there tools tomake my computer COOLER in ub ubntu?
[16:34] <odb|fidel> my notes regarding linux on macs is: Intel Macs use a chip called SMC that passes voltages, fan speeds, clocks etc. onto the OS - which does not fully works with Linux -> so it might harm your hardware. linux doesnt understant the chip very well and runs the CPU at to high a voltage electrons, being shoved through the CPU, jump the electron paths inside the CPU they eventually short the electron paths and short out the CPU - while thats still theory for me
[16:34] <nicofs> acicula: no, the normal network-manager that comes with xubuntu... but i know wvdial. that won't tell me the kind of connection i use either...
[16:34] <acicula> nicofs: you could try an aliminium wrap, but that seems like to much effort
[16:34] <aeon-ltd> ariakus: run lighter software?
[16:34] <Misterio> ariakus: cool = cold   or   cool = great, efects... ?
[16:35] <ariakus> definitely colder
[16:35] <nicofs> acicula: and on top of that, i don't only need informaition on an established connection, but rather the info whether i have reception at all - prior to connecting...
[16:35] <Misterio> ariakus: Then do what aeon-ltd said
[16:35] <leonardo> i need help with xubuntu?
[16:36] <evian> 18:32 <evian> hello!
[16:36] <evian> 18:32 <evian> I have an issue while installing ubuntu server from CD
[16:36] <evian> 18:33 <evian> it stops at 75% of the installation and it is asking for the CD
[16:36] <evian> 18:33 <evian> i mounted the drive manualy and it is working
[16:36] <evian> 18:34 <evian> I can see the contents of the CD
[16:36] <FloodBot1> evian: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:36] <evian> 18:34 <evian> but the setup continues to ask for it
[16:36] <evian> 18:34 <evian> could you please help?
[16:36] <acicula> nicofs: dunno what tool you can use for that
[16:36] <ariakus> what can be lighter than xchat or gnome?
[16:36] <nicofs> acicula: but isn't that the most basic 3g functionality? telling you if you have reception?
[16:36] <Misterio> ariakus: irssi
[16:37] <mrmcgibby> After a recent reboot, fglrx doesn't seem to work.  log at http://paste.ubuntu.com/506578/
[16:37] <acicula> nicofs: i've never payed attention to it, via bluetooth i cant tell how i am connecting, though it still shows as a 3G broadband connection
[16:37] <aeon-ltd> ariakus: openbox + any panel
[16:38] <kraut> hi
[16:38] <evian> could someone please help me with an issue regarding the installation process for server?
[16:38] <nicofs> acicula: atm, the only way of telling is to remove the sim-card from the netbook, put it into my mobil and look if it has reception... then put the sim back into the netbook and start... that can't be the solution...
[16:38] <acicula> odb|fidel: google electromigration and cpu's, its not that big an issue, batteries,fans and harddisks are what kills your laptop first
[16:38] <kraut> i want to use on eth0 (wired) a static ip address. after i configured it with networkmanager it will be setup correctly but after a few seconds an old address will be configured
[16:38] <bastidrazor> komeil: you pointed grub at the wrong drive/partition
[16:38] <kraut> it's one i setup temporarily via ifconfig
[16:38] <kraut> does anybody know why this happens? it's confusing
[16:39] <kraut> Oct  5 17:36:12 heathen avahi-daemon[26823]: Joining mDNS multicast group on interface eth0.IPv4 with address <IP_ADDRESS>.
[16:39] <kraut> that's the old one i don't want anymore
[16:39] <nicofs> I am looking for a network monitor that can give me detailed information on my 3G connection, like reception, signal strength and type of connection (GPRS/EDGE/UMTS). Any suggestions?
[16:39] <weeber> hi all :)   I recently installed ubuntu 10.04, and I need help with sound (no sound coming form RhythmBox)
[16:39] <ariakus> so gnome=panel which quietly sits in background, consumes processor?
[16:39] <acicula> nicofs: well it might with the vanilla ubuntu
[16:39] <aeon-ltd> ariakus: if it has applets running that poll something then yes
[16:39] <acicula> ariakus: every proces uses cycles, do you have a specific question or can you explain what it is you are trying to achieve?
[16:39] <Injection33> weeber, find what kind of sound card you have, search interwebs for linux driver
[16:40] <evian> could you please tell me how to continue installing the server because at 75% it stops asking for CD
[16:40] <ikonia> evian: sounds like your CD is damaged
[16:40] <odb|fidel> acicula: as mentioned above - personaly i dont believe in that - while i've heard about problems from an apple tech
[16:40] <ariakus> i'm trying to achive ~5% load while idle and cold case
[16:40] <Injection33> evian, yup
[16:40] <evian> i tested it and it passes everytime
[16:40] <maco> weeber: first try installin linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic
[16:40] <acicula> odb|fidel: well pertaining to nvidia graphics
[16:40] <maco> weeber: its a package with updated sound drivers for lucid
[16:40] <odb|fidel> acicula: k
[16:41] <weeber> fyi, i am getting sound from FLV clips and the like
[16:41] <ikonia> evian: what is it doing when it asks for the CD
[16:41] <maco> weeber: also... double check your mixer settings. make sure PCM and Front and Master are all up
[16:41] <evian> it is just after trying to read form /cdrom
[16:41] <evian> probably this is kind of assigning a label for it
[16:42] <weeber> maco: how do I check my 'PCM settings'?
[16:42] <weeber> mixer settings, sorry
[16:42] <maco> weeber: mixer settings = the volume sliders
[16:43] <evian> i was not very clear
[16:43] <weeber> maco: there's just one volume slider in the taskbar, and it's ful
[16:43] <acicula> ariakus: network programs are the biggest offenders, there's little point in shutting half your system down, might as well suspend/resume if you cant use it?
[16:43] <maco> weeber: there's no "advanced" button?
[16:43] <Injection33> are there other ways to kill a process that keeps coming back?
[16:43] <maco> weeber: bahh why do they remove all the useful things from gnome *sigh* ok open a terminal and run "alsamixer"and then check in there. use arrow keys to change volumes and M to mute/unmute (if a "slider" says MM at bottom, it's muted)
[16:43] <weeber> maco: i can't see one
[16:44] <acicula> ariakus: what cpu do you have?
[16:44] <weeber> ok, i'll do that
[16:44] <ariakus> 1.73 single core
[16:44] <evian> after the installation starts (after all configuration, partitioning etc. is done) it installs preatty much everything, read packets from it, install them etc. at some point on console 4 it is saying that it is attempting to read from "cdrom" like it just assigned it a new label or name
[16:44] <acicula> ariakus: celeron?
[16:45] <evian> at that point, it cannot find it anymore and it is asking for the cd
[16:45] <ranjan> hi all
[16:45] <bt4> hi
[16:45] <evian> I entered the console 2 and mounted it manually
[16:45] <acicula> ariakus: err is that a recent celeron or an old p4 ?
[16:45] <ranjan> is there any way in which we can reset the bios password from linux?
[16:45] <acicula> ranjan: technically possible, practically a really bad idea. use the jumper?
[16:45] <evian> i can read it, no problem, but the setup continues to ask for cd labeled ...
[16:45] <odb|fidel> ranjan: from within linux? or is removing the battery enough?
[16:45] <aeon-ltd> ranjan: no but on your mobo you can use the jumper, or if its saved to cmos take out the battery
[16:46] <thechitow> Ron Paul 2012
[16:46] <ranjan> acicula: actually its a laptop and i dont want to remove the case
[16:46] <ariakus> acicula: celeron M530
[16:46] <acicula> ranjan: well there is no ready made tool that you can use to do it i think
[16:46] <ranjan> odb|fidel: actually its a laptop and i dont want to remove the case
[16:47] <ranjan> acicula: there is something called  cmospwd
[16:47] <weeber> maco: i increased all that I could control to 100, but still no sound
[16:47] <evian> any ideea?
[16:47] <acicula> ariakus: yeah thats a pretty weak processor to begin with, seems perfectly normal if with irc open and a browser to idle at around that
[16:47] <ranjan> by the way does any one know which is the bios shipped with hp pavilion dv4 1241tx ?
[16:47] <maco> weeber: ok then install that package and reboot and see if it helps. if not...try the 10.10 RC live cd? and if that doesn't work, please file a bug from that live cd with:    ubuntu-bug -s audio
[16:48] <acicula> my system(kernel) uses 2% on a phenom quad core
[16:48] <aeon-ltd> ranjan: just boot it up, during POST it should say
[16:48] <leonardo> i need help with xubuntu
[16:48] <aeon-ltd> !ask | leonardo
[16:48] <aeon-ltd> !xubuntu | leonardo
[16:48] <leonardo> can you help me?
[16:48] <ranjan> aeon-ltd: my laptop doesnt shows up that
[16:48] <aeon-ltd> ranjan: it should say in the bios aswell
[16:48] <acicula> do you get a graphical image at boot ranjan ?
[16:49] <ranjan> acicula: it just shows up the hp logo
[16:49] <ranjan> acicula: nothing else
[16:49] <weeber> oh my God :D
[16:49] <acicula> yeah, press tab or f1
[16:49] <acicula> that shows you the post screen
[16:49] <ranjan> acicula: yes, that shows some menu, but no information about bios.
[16:49] <weeber> maco: very sorry for wasting your time lol.....my headphones were already plugged in xD
[16:49] <maco> weeber: haha whoops :P
[16:49] <kristiina> hi can anybody help me how to flash bios from usbstick in ubuntu?
[16:50] <weeber> can't believe how stupid i've been
[16:50] <ranjan> acicula: and if wrong password is given for three times a message shows up saying that "system disabled" and some number
[16:50] <weeber> well, i'll be off now, thanks for your help :)
[16:50] <nyk2005> Is it somehow possible to run an intel 32bit binary on a powerPW running ubuntu?
[16:50] <Misterio> kristiina: flash BIOS from ubuntu? Wouldn't be better removing BIOS's baterry ?
[16:50] <weeber> bb
[16:50] <nyk2005> Is it somehow possible to run an intel 32bit binary on a powerPC running ubuntu?
[16:50] <ranjan> acicula: i found some links in which they can bring out the password with that number
[16:50] <Pici> nyk2005: no.
[16:50] <ranjan> any idea any body?
[16:51] <nyk2005> Pici: no emulator?
[16:51] <acicula> something like bochs perhaps? i'd imagine it be kinda slow
[16:51] <Dr_Willis> nyk2005: check if  dosbox works on ppc.. perhaps..
[16:51] <Dr_Willis> nyk2005:  i would be suprised if it worked :)
[16:51] <WhiteDawn> nyk2005, http://wiki.qemu.org/Main_Page
[16:51] <kristiina> Misterio: i meant to update bios on HP running ubuntu
[16:52] <WhiteDawn> nyk2005, and acicula is right, it is slow, but possible with qemu
[16:52] <Pici> nyk2005: I don't think there are many ppc virtualization solutions, qemu looks to be one though.
[16:53] <nyk2005> thanks! I have a look!
[16:53] <istevenmon> hello anyone could point me to a vrrpd configuration in ubuntu? i cant find anything on google, or maybe i am not using the right word combo
[16:54] <meow2> Hello, does anyone know some way I could filter a complete site for some specific links on it? like zippyshare links. i've tried a complete website downloader and it's crap....
[16:54] <bobba> Why does network install pick a pae kernel when ISO install uses a non-pae kernel?
[16:54] <Dr_Willis> meow2:  download soruce and use grep /awk perhaps.
[16:54] <meow2> how do i dl source ?
[16:54] <Dr_Willis> meow2:  wget
[16:55] <meow2> does it work for the whole domain ?
[16:55] <Dr_Willis> httrack perhaps..
[16:55] <meow2> wget www.site.com
[16:55] <meow2> i've tried httrack
[16:55] <meow2> it's really bad
[16:55] <Dr_Willis> meow2:  wget has 100's of options
[16:55] <meow2> oh
[16:55] <meow2> i'll try
[16:55] <Dr_Willis> httrack worked very well for my needs last i used it.
[16:56]  * Dr_Willis has no idea what 'zippyshare' even is.
[16:56] <meow2> a file host
[16:56] <meow2> how do i use grep /awk to filter ?
[16:56] <void_pointer> I thought everyone knew what zippyshare was
[16:56] <void_pointer> it's the latest
[16:56] <meow2> i can manage downloading the whole site now
[16:57] <meow2> any command help?
[16:57] <meow2> pretty please
[16:57] <aeon-ltd> !patience | meow2
[16:57] <meow2> !patience | aeon-ltd
[16:58] <void_pointer> zippyshare is like rapidshare except zippier
[16:58] <kristiina>  hi can anybody help me how to flash bios with only usb stick in ubuntu on HP mini?
[16:58] <WhiteDawn> meow2, jdownloader may be what your looking for
[16:59] <meow2> i don't want to download them links, only collect them
[16:59] <meow2> in a text
[16:59] <meow2> after they get filtered
[16:59] <WhiteDawn> !enter | meow2
[16:59] <meow2> ok
[16:59] <aeon-ltd> meow2: i know your inpatient but please remember proper etiquette
[17:00] <aeon-ltd> *impatient
[17:00] <meow2> i'm not impatient, it's how i type

[17:01] <jazzfish> hey guys - how can I add device manager to System->Administration ?
[17:01] <bastidrazor> jazzfish: install gnome-device-manager
[17:01] <Dr_Willis> a device?  thats a menu of varuous programs..
[17:01] <Dawgmatix> is there something like a nice setting for IO ?
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> Oh  install 'device manager' program..  :) never mind.
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> !info gnome-device-manager
[17:02] <Dawgmatix> one of my processes is very io intensive, and while its running other things like synaptic etc cant even do minor IO
[17:02] <hey_pig> hey guys, question: I have a file server that I need to make it so users can write into the folders but not move the folders, how do i go about doing this? (comand line)
[17:02] <Dr_Willis> Isent HAL getting phased out?
[17:02] <dajhorn> Dawgmatix:  ionice is installed by default.
[17:02] <aeon-ltd> Dr_Willis: already is for major distros, udev is getting better
[17:02] <Dawgmatix> thanks dajhorn
[17:02] <dajhorn> Dawgmatix: Welcome.
[17:02] <ahaios_> hello anyone that can help about wine in ubuntu?
[17:03] <aeon-ltd> !anyone | ahaios_
[17:03] <dancek> meow2, you really want to use http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/ (though you need to know/learn a little python)
[17:03] <jazzfish> bastidrazor: great thanks, does it require restart
[17:03] <yonahw> hi, I don't have a /etc/syslog.conf in 10.04. why not? is ubuntu using a different system?
[17:03] <bastidrazor> jazzfish: no, it should appear soon after installing
[17:04] <WhiteDawn> yonahw, are you looking for system logs? Try /var/log/ you might need root to see it
[17:04] <meow2> dancek, too bad i don't, but thanks
[17:04] <bastidrazor> jazzfish: gnome-device-manager creates an icon in Applications > System Tools  as Device Manager
[17:04] <sirlark> Hi all, I'm running karmic server in VirtualBox. It's worked perfectly before now, nothing changed, no updates, nothing, only rebooted it, and now it hangs. The only thing displayed is "fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2". I've done some preliminary googling, and the symptoms seem to indicate a problem with mountall, but the remedies mention don't work
[17:04] <kristiina>  hi can anybody help me how to flash bios from usbstick in ubuntu?
[17:05] <yonahw> WhiteDawn: I am looking for sendmail logs and thought the location is supposed to be in /etc/syslog.conf
[17:05] <Dr_Willis> kristiina:  the only bios flasher tools ive seen use DOS or windows..  ive seen some BIOS's with flashing built into them..
[17:05] <theinternet> Argh.  How do I stop xchat-gnome from automatically connecting me here?
[17:05] <Dr_Willis> kristiina:  so what sort of program are you flashing the bios with?
[17:05] <WhiteDawn> yonahw, ah, i dont know then. Doesnt hurt to look in /var/log though
[17:05] <Dr_Willis> theinternet:  check its settings.  Proberly has a auto connect/join chckbox.
[17:05] <yonahw> WhiteDawn: thanks, certainly no harm there
[17:06] <hey_pig> hey guys, question: I have a file server that I need to make it so users can write into the folders but not move the folders, how do i go about doing this? (comand line)
[17:07] <yonahw> WhiteDawn: apparently /var/log is the answer, thanks
[17:07] <WhiteDawn> yonahw, np
[17:07] <sirlark> sshd doesn't isn't running, the only two things I seem to be able to do are to switch between bootspash and the message by pressing a function key, or to send CTRL-ALT-DEL to reboot.
[17:07] <ariakus> .
[17:08] <leonidus> can i talk abt ubuntuservers here?
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> !permissions | hey_pig
[17:08] <Dr_Willis> leonidus:  here and theres a #ubuntu-server (i think) channel as well
[17:08] <jazzfish> bastidrazor: thanks so much, brilliant!
[17:08] <leonidus> thanks doc
[17:08] <bastidrazor> jazzfish: you're welcome.
[17:08] <hey_pig> ubottu, thanks
[17:08] <kristiina> Dr_Willis: i don't know, i searching the internet and i found many and i don't know which i should use. I have HP mini, and bios downloaded from their page is .exe file (3mb).
[17:08] <hey_pig> Dr_Willis, thanks
[17:09] <hwg> Anyone have any idea what would cause context menus in 10.10 to act strange or not display unless clicked on multiple times?
[17:09] <kristiina> Dr_Willis: everywhere it's written that it has to be .zip
[17:09] <tron_> is there any online note taking/ task app thats can be used to iexport notes feeds to google reader????
[17:09] <Pici> !ot | tron_
[17:09] <kristiina> Dr_Willis: oh, and that file is DOS/windows
[17:10] <theinternet> Can someone recommend a good irc client for ubuntu?  Xchat and I aren't getting along.
[17:10] <istevenmon> is there a package for vrrpd or do i need to compile it from source?
[17:10] <rusivi> tron_ you may be able to script something w/ etherpad -> http://etherpad.com/
[17:10] <meow2> i'm using   wget www.site.com --recursive \ --domains site.com   ----- any idea how could i extract the text from 1000 .html files in a single text file so i can do my filtering ?
[17:10] <ariakus> theinternet: xcat is far best and supported
[17:10] <OneMillionDollar> is there a gui adsl configuration option ?
[17:10] <bastidrazor> !info vrrpd
[17:10] <theinternet> ariakus:  OK, thx.
[17:10] <Pici> istevenmon: There is, in every supported version of Ubuntu as well.
[17:11] <tron_> rusivi, etherpad is shut down
[17:11] <OneMillionDollar> i meant changing adsl configuration thru a gui
[17:11] <istevenmon> Pici: thank you very much
[17:11] <rusivi> tron_ it's now a google code project -> http://code.google.com/p/etherpad/
[17:11] <kristiina> Dr_Willis: would you know how to do it?
[17:12] <tron_> rusivi, ah but i am no coder/programmer
[17:12] <johannix> wifi troubles... My setup was fine in 9.10 and doesn't work in 10.04. Also, when I run nm-tool, my wireless device successfully sees access points, just not sure how to turn it on
[17:13] <jazzfish> folks - is there a network settings tool I could install for System->Administration?
[17:13] <tacomaster> ok i just did a mencoder on a .wmv and changed it to an avi but it still wont have sound playing in movie player but works fine with mplayer still how can i fix this?
[17:13] <rusivi> tron_ No big deal. Take a look around the website and let us know where you get stuck.
[17:14] <meow2> tacomaster, no. change encoding settings next time
[17:15] <hwg> anyone have experience with the equinox theme engine?
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> kristiina:  in the past ive seen people use a FreeDos live cd and the dos flasher programs from  the mb makers homepages
[17:17] <bdesk> is the new ubuntu awesome
[17:18] <bastidrazor> jazzfish: nm-applet in the top panel does just that.  right click it and edit connections
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> kristiina:   it may have a DOS exe and a windows exe flasher.. you DONT use such tools from dosbox, or virtualbox. :)
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> tacomaster:  you could of changed the audio codec. or perhaps install the proper codecs for   the totem movieplayer and it may play it.
[17:19] <kristiina> Dr_Willis: what do you mean not to use DOS exe? that's the file downloaded from HP.??
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> kristiina:  no.. i mean Dont use DOSBOX...
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> !info dosbox
[17:19] <kristiina> Dr_Willis: OK
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> kristiina:  if its a dos exe. use a freedos live cd
[17:20] <tacomaster> Dr_Willis: im not worried about it playing on my machine i want it to play on ubuntu after you do the ubuntu restricted codecs and not have to mess with it any more i can play it on my but doing this for someone that doesnt want to jack with it
[17:20] <acicula> beter yet, go back to the site and check if they have a flashcd that you can burn that has all that
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> tacomaster:  i seem to recall there being some extra plugins for totem to let it play other video formats as well.
[17:21] <johannix> is it just me or is the Network Connection panel kind of limited as far as wireless goes
[17:21] <johannix> I feel like it used to be better in previous versions of ubuntu
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> tacomaster:  gstreamer plugins perhaps. i forget the package names.. somthng-good somthing-bad and somthing-ugly
[17:21] <kristiina> Dr_Willis: Could you tell me what this means: flashing tool to be found at the web site of your motherboard/BIOS/OEM vendor.
[17:22] <dajhorn> Dr_Willis, tacomaster The ubuntu-restricted-extras will pull in the -good, the -bad, and the -ugly codecs.
[17:22] <hey_pig> Dr_Willis, so there really is no way to lock a file down whal still letting users write into the folder?
[17:22] <acicula> kristiina: you are not sourcing your new bios from your own vendor?
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse
[17:22] <OneMillionDollar> how to check my adsl connection password ?
[17:22] <kristiina> acicula: you mean the bios downloaded from HP website?
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> dajhorn:  does it? ive never noticed. :) i tend to get a few dozen things from a script on a new install.
[17:22] <dajhorn> OneMillionDollar: Run `seahorse` at a terminal prompt.
[17:22] <scribawf> How to force kernal upgrade via terminal?
[17:22] <AbhiJit> what we do when some package is only available in .rpm?
[17:23] <kristiina> acicula: would this be the same: New BIOS image + flashing tool to be found at the web site of your motherboard/BIOS/OEM vendor.
[17:23] <kristiina> //
[17:23] <kristiina> ?
[17:23] <acicula> kristiina: err if you download a bios update from hp it has to match your hp edvice, they'll have the tool to flash it into your device as well.
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> hey_pig:  not clear on what you want to do. I rarely have to mess with permissions.  You can chmod a file to be different from the resto f a directory.. thats easially done.
[17:23] <dajhorn> AbhiJit: Run the package through `alien`.
[17:23] <AbhiJit> dajhorn, but thats not supported?
[17:23] <AbhiJit> !rpm
[17:23] <acicula> kristiina: your motherboard vendor is HP so im confused
[17:23] <AbhiJit> dangerous. why?
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> kristiina:  why are you even needing to flash this thing?
[17:24] <Dr_Willis> AbhiJit:  alien packages can break your system.
[17:24] <rusivi> acicula / kristiina: Ihave a Toshiba and downloaded the flashing utility, ran it via WINE which had me burn a CD with the utility then restarted my comp w/ CD in it and it flash successfully.
[17:24] <dajhorn> AbhiJit:  Anything that overrides the packaging system is dangerous.
[17:24] <AbhiJit> Dr_Willis, dajhorn ohhh ok
[17:24] <kristiina> acicula: touch pad not working
[17:24] <rusivi> acicula / kristiina downloaded it direct from Toshiba support website
[17:24] <hey_pig> Dr_Willis, bascially, i have a bunch of moron engineer's working for me, and they move large project folders into the wrong spot often, i want them to be able to red/write into the folder, but not movve it....
[17:24] <acicula> kristiina: and how does the bios factor into that
[17:24] <Dexter> Hello. Can somone help me turning off the root reserved space on a newly created EXT partition?
[17:25] <dajhorn> AbhiJit: If you install an RPM, then you'll probably find that things in /etc don't work properly, amongst other problems.  You'll need to tune any non-trivial package.  What RPM do you need?
[17:25] <acicula> rusivi: it wasnt said its not possible, however changing firmware on your motherboard will brick your system if you do it wrong
[17:25] <cong06> I'm trying to run a "find" command, to "prune" out directories. Specifically I want to find all "*deb" files in the "/var/cache/" directory that aren't in the folder "/var/cache/apt-cacher-ng"
[17:25] <cong06> I thought that:
[17:25] <cong06> find /var/cache/ -name "*deb" -path "*/apt-cacher-ng" -prune
[17:25] <cong06> would do it, but it doesn't work.
[17:25] <FloodBot4> cong06: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:25] <AbhiJit> dajhorn, it is one theme actually! so i am not taking that risk of installing it! :)
[17:25] <Guest68354> Hello!, somebody know if the netbook ubuntu network can handle 2 or 4 gb ram? What are the limitations of this version?
[17:25] <dajhorn> AbhiJit: Right choice.
[17:25] <AbhiJit> dajhorn, :D
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> hey_pig:  You can adjust the permissions on the parent directory perhaps. and have it different from the sub dirs in that directory. ive rarely had to mess with permissions or multi users.. only about 4 users here on my system. :) theres also the groups that may do what you want.
[17:26] <acicula> rusivi: which is why the recommended procedure is always to follow the vendors exact instructions to the letter, unless you eat bits and excrete assembly
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> !groups
[17:26] <ariakus> i don't get it, shouldn't deb and rpm system filesystems are the same?
[17:26] <rusivi> acicula: yes I took a humongous risk, using WINE to create the flash CD but it worked so high risk, high reward.
[17:26] <Dr_Willis> Guest68354:  it can handle 4gb of ram.. since its 32bit.. but higher..  no.
[17:26] <oCean> Dexter: when creating (mkfs) use -m to set percentage for used blocks. I think tune2fs can change it on existing filesystem
[17:27] <rusivi> acicula I more sip bits, and exhale assembly
[17:27] <Guest68354> Thanks Dr Willis!
[17:27] <dajhorn> Dexter:  If you want to change your root filesystem, then you'll need to run the tune2fs command from the Live CD.
[17:28] <kristiina> acicula: everywhere is written that this is what you should do after intalling updateted drivers
[17:28] <Dexter> oCean, dajhorn >> I have 10.04.1 installed, using gparted to create and tries the tunefs -m command with no result
[17:28] <martian> How does one go about pam http authentication in apache2 now that mod_auth_pam is not available?
[17:28] <acicula> kristiina: got a link?
[17:28] <kristiina> acicula: i switched to ubuntu after it happened and the same problem
[17:29] <oCean> Dexter: no result?
[17:29] <kristiina> acicula: to the website of those instructions?
[17:29] <dajhorn> Dexter:  In some circumstances, you need to run fsck on the device before tune2fs.    The command will be something like `tune2fs -m0 /dev/sda1`.
[17:29] <kristiina> acicula: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318789
[17:29] <dajhorn> Dexter: If you're getting strange results, then pastebin your tune2fs output.
[17:30] <Dexter> ocean>> yes, after running command, mounted but no more space
[17:30] <acicula> kristiina: and what computer model do you have?
[17:30] <iShawnW> I have my screensaver set how I want it but it uses the defaults, what would cause this?
[17:30] <sacarlson> martian: I guess you could look at freeradius it supports pam and many other authentication and it can interface to apache2
[17:30] <oCean> Dexter: you have to provide a percentage following -m. As per dajhorn's example you can completely disable reservation
[17:30] <Dexter> im only yrying this on diske that is not running os
[17:31] <dajhorn> Dexter: The reserve allocation doesn't show up in `df` and elsewhere.  This is why you can sometimes see more than 100% usage in filesystem info pages.
[17:31] <kristiina> acicula: hp mini 110-3030nr
[17:31] <acicula> kristiina: that just tells you how you could flash your bios, not why you should or how it would fix your touchpad
[17:31] <martian> sacarlson: So, for some reason another they took out a simple and easy way to have dynamic passwords :x
[17:31] <acicula> anyway dont use that guide to flash your bios, hp no doubt has a decent writeup on how to update theoir system
[17:31] <dajhorn> Dexter: Pastebin `tune2fs -l /dev/sda1` (for your device).
[17:32] <kristiina> acicula/Dr_Willis:  i tried to to update the bios when still running on windows but got a message CMOS checkup sum is invalid.
[17:32] <iShawnW> I have my screensaver set how I want it but it uses the defaults, what would cause this? ie where does it save the preferences for it
[17:32] <sacarlson> martian: you might find if you download apache2 you can compile the needed modules your missing.  that happens
[17:32] <Dexter> dahorn>> will try right away. Should i use gparted to create?
[17:32] <kristiina> acicula: HP says update drivers, if no joy update bios
[17:32] <Dr_Willis> kristiina:  perhaps you just need to reset your cmos. Ive had to flash a whole 2 pc's in my whold life
[17:33] <acicula> kristiina: does the touchpad work in windows?
[17:33] <dajhorn> Dexter: It doesn't matter.  Use whatever you are familiar with.
[17:33] <kristiina> acicula: windows-not responsive ot responsive rarely. same ubuntu
[17:34] <kristiina> Dr_Willis: it resets itself upon updating
[17:34] <acicula> kristiina: how are you updating the bios in windows, do you download it yourself or does hp provide a tool or wizard
[17:34] <kristiina> acicula: it worked fine for 4 days and then it went crazy. it's a new netbook
[17:35] <kristiina> acicula: download itself
[17:35] <kristiina> acicula: i just checked today and there's a new bios so want to try this. my friend just fixed hp mini 210 by updateing the bios, had same problem
[17:35] <acicula> k
[17:36] <rusivi> kristiina: Unless your very comfortable and have a ton of time, your going to want to call HP and ask them. Plus it is under warranty as you mentioned it is new. I would not try to get cute in this situation.
[17:36] <littlebearz> rusivi: cute?
[17:36] <rusivi> yep
[17:36] <rusivi> cute
[17:36] <kristiina> rusivi: netbook from USA now in Malaysia. fixing it would take 1 month, they don't sell this model here:(
[17:37] <rusivi> kristiina: I have had an HP they priority ship you a box fix it in a week or so then priority ship back.
[17:37] <kristiina> rusivi: HP knows nothing. spent 10 days on the phone with them
[17:37] <rusivi> kristiina: Invoke the warranty clause.
[17:38] <Dexter> dajhorn>> used 131.52MB before tune2fs, after the same
[17:38] <kristiina> rusivi: welcome to malaysia. what do you mean invoke?
[17:38] <guitar-maniac> hey, all my windows have lost the close and minize buttons on the top right side, they're not on the left either..
[17:38] <aaron11> How do i migrate to a process
[17:38] <aaron11> using the terminal
[17:38] <acicula> kristiina: i only see a version from last may
[17:38] <acicula> bios that is
[17:39] <aaron11> I want to migrate to firefox
[17:39] <rusivi> kristiina: Being presumptuous that you have a warranty.
[17:39] <kristiina> acicula: there's a version from 18.08.2010. HP mini 110-3030nr (usa)
[17:39] <acicula> Version:<IP_ADDRESS>
[17:39] <Michi_s> aaron migrate?
[17:39] <kristiina> rusivi: yeah
[17:39] <rusivi> kristiina :D
[17:39] <acicula> hmm ok, im looking at the support page and im not seeing it though
[17:40] <acicula> nor is your cmos error turning up much
[17:40] <Gangrel> anyone can tell me how to cose a running program that can not close with "x" or xkill -all ?
[17:40] <nikolam> I get uncontrolled screen twitching (like frequency on my CRT monitor is changed) whenever I try to do user switching. I use free radeon driver (x1250/690G). Interesting is that almost one girl, friend of ine got the same screen twitching when switching desktop users, with another graphics card..
[17:40] <Gangrel> anyone can tell me how to close a running program that can not close with "x" or xkill -all ?
[17:40] <acicula> i defintly would not try to force the issue and attempt flashing from linux in any case if its not working even under windows
[17:40] <amanita_> Gangrel, gnome?
[17:41] <Gangrel> amanita_ yes
[17:41] <amanita_> Gangrel, Alt+F2, type xkill, run click on the window you wish to kill
[17:41] <acicula> kristiina: can you check in the bios that you are allowed to flash the bios?
[17:41] <acicula> if there is such an option its prolly under security or something
[17:42] <Gangrel> amanita_ thanks
[17:43] <acicula> kristiina: you get the cmos error after you reboot?
[17:43] <kristiina> acicula: how to do that? oh, i get also the message: check if bios settings can change.
[17:43] <kristiina> acicula: yeah.
[17:43] <Michi_s> ok nice to see you, bye
[17:43] <kristiina> acicula: here's the page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4062&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4221551#N2377
[17:43] <guitar-maniac> Anyone knoe where my close,minize buttons have disappeared from all of my windows?
[17:44] <AbhiJit> guitar-maniac, gtk-window-decorator --replace
[17:45] <kristiina> acicula: how to chack if i can change the bios?
[17:45] <wharrgarbl> this laptop only has one (mono) speaker, but ubuntu is playing music in stereo, so i'm only hearing the left track; anyone know how to fix this?
[17:45] <guitar-maniac> Abhijit: thank you!
[17:46] <AbhiJit> guitar-maniac, now close the terminal and see what happens
[17:46] <AbhiJit> :P
[17:46] <kristiina> acicula: the newest is F13f
[17:47] <acicula> yeah, for win 7 32bit it is
[17:47] <acicula> whats your windows os?
[17:47] <ariakus> bah why ubuntu developers think everyone uses windows 98 still?
[17:47] <kristiina> now no windows. it's ubuntu
[17:48] <guitar-maniac> Abhijit: i used alt+F2, everything worked fine.
[17:48] <AbhiJit> :o
[17:48] <robbit10> hey everyone. My sound is not working, for some reason. Anyone want to help me get my sound working again?
[17:48] <acicula> what windows version were you using before
[17:48] <AbhiJit> guitar-maniac, it that heppens again just add the same line in startup ap
[17:48] <kristiina> 32bit 7
[17:48] <kristiina> starter edidtion
[17:49] <guitar-maniac> where can i find the startup ap?
[17:49] <Dexter> dajhorn>> Yot still there?
[17:49] <acicula> thats not it either then. Looks like you'll have to contact hp again, or try a post on their support forum. You seem to have installed the right bios and i cant find any usefull things on the error that you have
[17:50] <AbhiJit> guitar-maniac, system->preferences->startup ap
[17:50] <robbit10> My sound is not working, for some reason. Anyone want to help me get my sound back?
[17:50] <acicula> though that bios changelog lists nothing about fixing touchpad issues either
[17:51] <kristiina> exactly: but they no nothing so i'll just leave it untill i'm some other country where i can fix it quicker then one month. i'm using wireless mouse now so good but just irritating. you know it's a brand new netbook.
[17:51] <kristiina> made in china
[17:52] <guitar-maniac> I cehcked the box that said "remember running programs" (using finnihs system,, so transtalation might be a bit off), so that shuold make it automatic?
[17:52] <myth88> hi, i have a problem: everytime i come back home my user is logged out, where / in which log can i see what's causing this?
[17:52] <wildc4rd> evenin  all
[17:53] <myth88> evenin wildc4rd
[17:53] <acicula> myth88: do you get a password screen or the original login screen
[17:53] <dajhorn> Dexter: I'm back.
[17:53] <myth88> dajhorn:  i know the locked screen, i lock it everytime i leave the pc, but it's always the original login screen
[17:54] <myth88> like if xorg restarts
[17:54] <acicula> well you should be able to see that in the one of the logs in /var/log/
[17:54] <kjelle> Help! I was editing in VIM, and i acidentally hit some weird key combination, now my file looks like this: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=FyWKeaGL
[17:54] <robbit10> hello? did anyone even read my question?
[17:54] <kjelle> What ever do I do?
[17:54] <acicula> kjelle: its in hexedit mode
[17:54] <kjelle> acicula: no it's not :p
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> u for undo? :)
[17:54] <kjelle> acicula: thats what i thought too :p
[17:55] <myth88> acicula: well, what could i search for? the prob is that i don't know the date
[17:55] <dev001> I've setup 'traditional' (non-NetworkManager) StaticIP -- works great.  This is on a laptop, so I'd like location/connection flexibility; NetworkManager seems like the 'way to go'.  I have been unable to get NetworkManager to bring-up & switch-between StaticIP connections.  Reading, lots of comments abt 'NM is *only* DHCP-capable', 'to do StaticIP, remove/disable NM', etc etc.  I'm guessing much of that is old-news -- but for the life of me, I can't get
[17:55] <dev001> NM working/behaving. And good pointers?
[17:55] <acicula> or you started hexdump <file> ?
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> That looks like a hex edit mode to me...
[17:55] <myth88> or better the time
[17:55] <IdleOne> !sound | robbit10
[17:55] <kjelle> acicula: it seems to have been saved itself as a hexedit mode
[17:55] <Dexter> dajhorn>> Great :) Used 131.52MB before tune2fs, after, the same
[17:55] <kjelle> christ, if i have to go through all that and recover my code
[17:55] <hey_pig> Question: Ever sence I "upgraded" to 10.04.01 when I SSH into my box, i loose all my samba shares for about 1 minnet , then they fix themselves. I tried purgeing and re-installing the SSH stuff, deleteing the config file and everything, and it still semi-nukes my server? any suggestions?
[17:55] <acicula> dev001: nm is perfectly capable of setting static ips
[17:56] <sujiths80> Hi Abhijith
[17:56] <kjelle> So, what do I do?
[17:56] <kjelle> can I reverse it somehow?
[17:56] <acicula> i dont know if it can distinguish between different ethernet lans though, so for different lans you may ahve to reset it
[17:56] <hajmola> anyone know why my ubuntu machine's downloads slow to a crawl yet my windows machine is just fine?
[17:56] <dajhorn> kjelle: Did you save it like that?  If you didn't, then a quick fix would be to quit and reopen.
[17:56] <AbhiJit> sujiths80, this is place to ask your questions
[17:57] <kjelle> dajhorn: acidentally, yes
[17:57] <kjelle> dajhorn: :/
[17:57] <kjelle> dajhorn: very quick on the :wq! :p
[17:57] <dev001> acicula: Sure -- but, as I've said, I've failed repeatedly, and the "advice" I'm finding is primarily to the "get rid of it" end of the spectrum.  So, if you have a good pointer to a reliable HowTo ...
[17:57] <sujiths80> ok...I am just started using ubuntu...so I dont know the diff community details..sorry for the trouble
[17:57] <dajhorn> kjelle: Check the working directory for a .vim* or a .*~ backup file.   Past that, you're probably screwed.
[17:57] <sujiths80> hen I am loginto ubtuntu ,each time it is asking for password in keyreg window...how can i disable it
[17:58] <kjelle> dajhorn: none :/
[17:58] <acicula> hajmola: many different reasons, sometimes excuting sudo ysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling=0
[17:58] <Dr_Willis> I cant imagine why a hex edit mode. would save the file that way.. unless somthing else weird happened.
[17:58] <acicula> may fix it
[17:58] <acicula> that should be sudo sysctl
[17:58] <Dr_Willis> kjelle:  check the file in a different text editor
[17:58] <hajmola> acicula, what does that do?
[17:58] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: the same (e.g. Nano)
[17:58] <theinternet> Anyone know what would cause me to be unable to connect to any IRC server except freenode?
[17:59] <acicula> hajmola: turnoff tcp scaling
[17:59] <Dr_Willis> kjelle:  that does seem like its messed up then.
[17:59] <acicula> window scaling even
[17:59] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: yeh :p christ :p
[17:59] <AbhiJit> !details | theinternet
[17:59] <Dr_Willis> kjelle:  back up the file and see if the commands here help.
[17:59] <Dr_Willis> http://www.linuxinstead.com/blog/?p=126
[17:59] <bobstro> theinternet:  are you using xchat or xchat-gnome?
[17:59] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: what i dont get is that if I to ctrl-h (hex mode) and save, it shouldnt be changed :p
[18:00] <theinternet> Well, I'm in xchat, and every server on the list just times out except this one, the default one.
[18:00] <hajmola> acicula, i'll give it a try thanks
[18:00] <kjelle> ty Dr_Willis
[18:00] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: what!
[18:00] <kjelle> that fixed it!
[18:00] <bobstro> theinternet:  hmm. you're not using a proxy setup or similar?
[18:00] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: :%!xxd -r
[18:00] <theinternet> No, bobstro.
[18:01] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: it was actually SAVED as that hexmode, but VIM turned it back :p
[18:01] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: holy jesus, you just saved me some work, the file is almost 2000 lines of pure C code :p
[18:01] <hey_pig> whats the name of the ubuntu server channel
[18:01] <leonidus> can anyone suggest me a seo tools for ubuntu
[18:01] <acicula> hajmola: just have a go, if it helps it helps , its a feature the network uses to keep more pacakge in transit
[18:01] <bobstro> theinternet:  this isn't much comfort, but that is not normal for xchat. i am connected to a couple of networks.
[18:01] <leonidus> #ubuntu-server
[18:01] <Dr_Willis> kjelle:  and i learned it all from googling in the last 3 min... :)
[18:01] <hey_pig> leonidus, thanks
[18:01]  * kjelle bow in respect before Dr_Willis.
[18:01] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: I tried "vim turned file hex mode"
[18:02] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: or something, but didnt find any useful stuff :-) ty
[18:02] <Dr_Willis> i looked for vim hex mode tutorials. :)
[18:02] <bobstro> theinternet:  do you get errors as you connect to the others?
[18:02] <theinternet> bobstro:  Yeah, weird thing is I had it working before, then it just decided to go bizarro.  Tried reinstalling, but...
[18:02] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: aha :) hehe
[18:02] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: vim is so good. like this, it actually converts a saved file back :)
[18:02] <acicula> kjelle: most ircs will ipban you if you run open proxies, connect via tor, etc
[18:02] <kjelle> acicula: ?
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> kjelle:  im not sure what the vim xxd thing does... really.. could be uits calling a hex editor/conferter..
[18:03] <kjelle> acicula: umm, from where do you get the idea I am using an open proxy, tor etc? :)
[18:03] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: mm. i tried ctrl +h (my hothey for hexmode), didnt seem to help.
[18:03] <acicula> err i meant theinternet
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> kjelle:  vim is just calling xxd it seems...
[18:03] <bobstro> theinternet:  you should ge a tab for each server you're connecting to, and errors will appear there.
[18:03] <Dr_Willis>  ---> xxd - make a hexdump or do the reverse.
[18:03] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: mm.
[18:03] <Dr_Willis> kjelle:  you could of used xxd to convert it back also
[18:03] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: yepp, seems do.
[18:03] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: very awsome :-)
[18:04] <kjelle> acicula: okey :)
[18:04] <kjelle> acicula: atm im calling from my server.
[18:04] <Dr_Willis> we can dissect what this does --> :%!xxd     to switch into hex mode
[18:04] <acicula> well does it run a proxy or stuff on proxy ports?
[18:04] <Dr_Willis> % = global i think, ! runs a command,  :) so it puts the whole command through xxd.
[18:05] <acicula> err nvm, stop confusing me, one line memory here :/
[18:05] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: mm
[18:05] <Dr_Willis> :%!somescript             would put your whole text file through some script.
[18:05] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: it seem to pipe the data through a shell command xxd
[18:05] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: mm
[18:05] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: vim1 :D
[18:05] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: (i usually dis my co-worker, since he uses Emacs)
[18:05] <Dr_Willis> kjelle:  be handy for 'sort'  in some cases also.
[18:05] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: yepp
[18:05] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: back to coding then, cheers ;)
[18:05] <theinternet> bobsto:  it will say connecting to <network>, port 6667...  but it never does.
[18:06] <regeya> never could get into emacs.  why in the world do I need two keycombos to save a frickin' file
[18:06] <acicula> well you need to :w in vim too
[18:06] <acicula> or just bang your head against the screen if you are using nano
[18:06] <theinternet> bobstro:  finally reproduced it.  It's just a connection timed out error.
[18:06] <Dexter> dajhorn>> found an -s 0 command but get, clearing the sparse superflasg not supported
[18:07] <marcrosoft> zz, save and quit
[18:07] <Dr_Willis> kjelle:  i wonder how yopu accidently did that.. :)
[18:07] <hajmola> acicula, it worked! thanks a lot. weird issue.
[18:07] <dajhorn> Dexter: `tune2fs -l /dev/sda1` will tell you the reserved count.  Just do that.  It might be zero.
[18:07] <regeya> acicula: yeah, but control x then control s?  You only have to hit a modifier once in vi...but I see your point. :-D
[18:07] <dajhorn> Dexter: Don't change anything that says "superblock" or the sparse options.
[18:08] <marcrosoft> If you use zz, no modifier
[18:08] <Dexter> dahorn>> ok, whay not?
[18:08] <acicula> hajmola: cool
[18:09] <dajhorn> dajhorn: Deep voodoo.  If you want to learn more, then read the man pages and kernel documentation.   It is entirely possible that your favorite filesystem utility is already setting the reserve to zero.
[18:09] <myth88> what could i search the logs for finding the problem logging me out when i'm not at home?
[18:09] <Skeletal> guys, someone here use BackTrack OS? ( theren't a good channel about this  OS) ?
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> Skeletal:  they have their own support channel.
[18:09] <acicula> #backtrack-linux exists just for that
[18:09] <AndyPP> Hi. I installed Ubuntu 10.04. There are problems with the fonts in Firefox. I used a workaround to fix the antialiasing in firefox (which otherwise doesn't work), but the fonts still have problems because if I want to use my own fonts on every page, Firefox doesn't distinguish between sans serif and serif anymore
[18:12] <hsilva> \quit
[18:15] <xangua> AndyPP: antualiasing is perfectly fine in the ubuntu build of firefox
