[15:27] <Shedevil> he probably downloaded the 32-bit .iso by accident if he doesn't know enough to know why OS doesn't see more than 3.6gb
[15:27] <Ghrim> Please can someone help me do this? http://blog.cretin.net/blog/2011/10/18/building-xfwm4-tiling-ubuntu/ :(
[15:27] <beasty> hmm
[15:27] <beasty> what should you recommend that i do
[15:27] <beasty> install the 64bit system or the PAE kernel ?
[15:27] <BlouBlou> beasty: I recommend you going to ubuntu.com website and downloading the 64-bits edition
[15:27] <Shedevil> download the 64-bit .iso
[15:27] <FesterJester> bc81: If you are interested, I had to add your fix and 'unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS' to my vnc xstartup file to get a deaktop
[15:28] <bazhang> beasty, your choice. one means total reinstall
[15:28] <gilles_> http://tippy.org/2012/ubuntu-unity-11-10-windows-slow-and-laggy-with-ati-and-nvidia-gpus/
[15:28] <beasty> would that make impact on my c and java development ?
[15:28] <bazhang> no
[15:28] <beasty> ok
[15:28] <beasty> bazhang: it's not a stress the reinstall ... it's a new computer from yesterday
[15:29] <gilles_>  why is my notebook acer 5551, sluggy/laggy with ubuntu11.10.. with open source or propriatary drivers.. plenty of laptop power ..not the issue, i install |OS, install updates then really slow, if i installed vid card driver, propriatary, seems a little faster, but choppy movies, ingeneral OS really slow right from the beginnin
[15:29] <bazhang> beasty, good, install the 64 then
[15:29] <beasty> 64-bit PC (AMD64) alternate install CD
[15:29] <beasty> this then ?
[15:29] <bazhang> yep
[15:29] <beasty> ok downloading :)
[15:29] <bazhang> there are torrents as well beasty
[15:29] <Jacruth> IS there any way to know if my card supports ARB_SYNC?
[15:29] <skylord5816> When installing Ubuntu via Wubi, will Wubi disable hibernation for the Windows OS or the Ubuntu OS, or both?
[15:29] <bazhang> Jacruth, what is that
[15:30] <beasty> bazhang: i know ... but i'm getting full speed from a local mirror (12.3MB/s) :)
[15:30] <Jacruth> bazhang, iis a technology that synchronizes data between the graphics card's processor, the GPU and the computer's main processor, the CPU
[15:30] <Jacruth> Read more: How to Tell if My Graphics Card Is ARB_SYNC Enabled | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/how_8472035_tell-graphics-card-arbsync-enabled.html#ixzz1mkQSTOU9
[15:30] <bc81> FesterJester: yea, i saw that thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1480094  glad you got it working :)
[15:30] <Jacruth> sorry about the Read more, it was autocpied
[15:31] <dusf> !bluetooth
[15:31] <dusf> fucking ubuntu, breaks sound and bluetooth every upgrade. l2 stop upgrading every 6 months when you are not ready and releasing crap.
[15:31] <FesterJester> bc81: Thaks much for the help. Been working on it almost a week now.
[15:31] <oCean> dusf: control your language here, please
[15:32] <beasty> haha
[15:32] <beasty> i bet he's pissed about bluetooth support :p
[15:32] <oCean> beasty: let's move on
[15:32] <beasty> ofc :)
[15:33] <bc81> FesterJester: yea, that's about how long it took me when i had the problem (on xubuntu karmic) some time back.  good idea to save these little tidbits for future use, my 'obscure linux knowledge' file is about 400 lines deep :)
[15:34] <bazhang> Jacruth, perhaps sudo lshw ? not sure exactly how you would check that
[15:35] <Shedevil> does anyone here use synergy to use mouse and keyboard across multiple computers at the same time
[15:35] <Nullifi3d> Shedevil: i used to
[15:35] <Jacruth> bazhang, perhaps if there is any way to check th video card configuration...
[15:36] <FesterJester> bc81:  :)  I am working on creating a headless ubuntu10.04 setup with ssh, vnc, and serial port login. Then I am going to try to convert it to a live cd. Serial login and SSH successful, VNC is almost done, and liveCD is to come.
[15:36] <Shedevil> well I've been reading about how to get the sound from the client comps onto the host comp over LAN as well
[15:36] <Nullifi3d> never experimented with that :P
[15:36] <Shedevil> and I think pulseaudio will do that
[15:36] <Shedevil> but I want the host machine to be windows
[15:37] <Nullifi3d> why not just use a 3.5mm cable?
[15:37] <Nullifi3d> speaker out > line in
[15:37] <Shedevil> that would work if I only had one client comp... but I have 3
[15:37] <Nullifi3d> ah
[15:37] <Shedevil> or could I daisy chain them....?
[15:37] <Nullifi3d> yeah i tihnk you could
[15:38] <Nullifi3d> just make sure all your levels are the same going across
[15:38] <Shedevil> so line out from the 2nd PC would be carrying 1st and 2nd PC audio to line in on 3rd host PC?
[15:38] <bc81> FesterJester: nice!  you'll be done in time for the next LTS (very soon i think april 2012?)  good luck
[15:38] <Nullifi3d> yes
[15:38] <Nullifi3d> afaik that should work
[15:39] <Shedevil> ok that may work for stero, but what about 7.1 surround
[15:39] <Nullifi3d> lol no it wont
[15:39] <FesterJester> bc81: Lol, yeah. Then I might have to redo it with that LTS. If it doesn't have the goofy Ubuquity desktop. I dislike it.
[15:40] <Shedevil> there is a program called airfoil that sounds like what I'm looking for, but it's $25
[15:40] <Nullifi3d> are you a programmer at all?
[15:40] <cola_ftw_> java ftw
[15:40] <Shedevil> who?
[15:40] <Nullifi3d> you, Shedevil
[15:40] <Nullifi3d> java is merely *ok*
[15:40] <Shedevil> no lol I'm just a gamer
[15:41] <cola_ftw_> ya im eventually gonna take on the big bad c
[15:41] <Nullifi3d> Shedevil: was gonna say that itd be relatively simple to transmit all audio over tcp to a host
[15:41] <airtonix> you know what's awesome about gnome-desktop... 1. insert second monitor 2. do security sensitive work on screen two with visually comprimising pictures and words... 3. lock screen to prevent co-workers vising the stuff... 4. FREAK out as you realise it only blanks out the primary screen....
[15:42] <cola_ftw_> whats not good about ubuntu and second monitor is 1. install fglrx and magically your second monitor wont work
[15:42] <airtonix> cola_ftw_: oh i didn't make the mistake of purchasing amd (insert anything(
[15:42] <cola_ftw_> airtonix: lol
[15:43] <cola_ftw_> tooo many people leaving and joining
[15:43] <gilles_> why is my notebook acer 5551, sluggy/laggy with ubuntu11.10.. with open source or propriatary drivers.. plenty of laptop power ..not the issue, i install |OS, install updates then really slow, if i installed vid card driver, propriatary, seems a little faster, but choppy movies
[15:43] <hydester> my problem is this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=782495   any fixes?
[15:44] <cola_ftw_> i needed the propriatary drivers because the open source ones cant handle minecraft on my shitty laptop
[15:45] <randomnewb> Is there a way to extract zips with non-latin characters without going into Windows and using AppLocale?
[15:46] <Shedevil> I could use pulseaudio if I were to use ubuntu as a host
[15:46] <gilles_> why is my notebook acer 5551, sluggy/laggy with ubuntu11.10.. with open source or propriatary drivers.. plenty of laptop power ..not the issue, i install |OS, install updates then really slow, if i installed vid card driver, propriatary, seems a little faster, but choppy movies
[15:46] <Shedevil> but my only machine with 7.1 output is a windows machine
[15:46] <czx> randomnewb see if -I option is supported
[15:46] <spacebug-> are there any good system monitors where I can see I/O and all other stuff? I'm running a virtualbox and firefox and it gets slow from tim to time and then it like releases. I have 8 GB ram and SSD disk as system disk and fast CPU and GPU should be ok.
[15:46] <Shedevil> hmm, I guess I could runn a virtual machine on it just for pulseaduio
[15:47] <SmashingX> hey guys I was wondeirng where is the directory of all the programs that I have installed
[15:47] <czx> there was a patch for that but it was axed by russophobics
[15:47] <randomnewb> -I for unzip?
[15:47] <SmashingX> I just installed a new version of a program that is on the list of programs, but I need to change the path of the executable file, any ideas?
[15:47] <airtonix> cola_ftw_: maybe you should turn off part/join/quit messages then.
[15:48] <czx> randomnewb yes
[15:48] <CyborgSmurf> I have a trouble booting up my computer with cd, help pls!
[15:48] <randomnewb> I don't see it.
[15:48] <czx> -I CP1250 for example
[15:49] <randomnewb> CyborgSmurf:  What happens when you boot?
[15:49] <bc81> CyborgSmurf: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootFromCD
[15:49] <SmashingX> I just installed a new version of a program that is on the list of programs, but I need to change the path of the executable file, any ideas?
[15:50] <airtonix> gilles_: just a guess : ati video card is less than exceptional on linux... nVidia is king... also your laptop may not the highest specs.. ( is this it : http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/notebook/2010/Acer/Aspire/Aspire5551/Aspire5551sp2.shtml )  ?
[15:50] <skylord5816> When installing Ubuntu via Wubi, will Wubi disable hibernation for the Windows OS or the Ubuntu OS, or both?
[15:50] <CyborgSmurf> randomnewb: it takes me into windows xp loading screen and then it kind of loops the loading bar. I have to add that before this, I tried ubuntu install wich crashed(weird as it is)
[15:50] <SmashingX> I just installed a new version of a program that is on the list of programs, so I need to change the path of the program on the list of programs, any ideas?
[15:50] <airtonix> skylord5816: most likely for ubuntu since you may or may not get the change to create a swap partition (which is essential for hibernation on linux)
[15:51] <airtonix> chance*
[15:51] <bc81> !repeat | SmashingX
[15:51] <skylord5816> airtonix: thank you :)
[15:51] <skylord5816> that's not so bad, then
[15:51] <gilles_> Yes that is my laptop .. its def enough to run 11.10
[15:51] <SmashingX> come on I think that's pretty easy to do
[15:51] <airtonix> SmashingX: programs are not installed into one directory like they are in MacOSx or Windows... however, you can see installed software ( and there locations with the dpkg command)
[15:51] <grindel> hi everyone, I'm having trouble getting a wireless usb dongle to work: the dongle is W311M from Tenda, the OS is EMC2 (which I think is Ubuntu 10.04 based) I have tried the instructions from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Tenda_W311M no joy though
[15:52] <bc81> SmashingX: you mean, you want to update the menu item to point to the new versions' executable file?
[15:52] <SmashingX> bc81: yeah if that is possible
[15:52] <airtonix> gilles_: you may think so, but my laptop has a quad core i7 and 12gb of ddr3 ram and the latest nvidia card... it still slows down when i have 50 programs open
[15:52] <grindel> modprobe says unknown symbol in module
[15:52] <Shedevil> are line in and mic sperate channels or the same
[15:53] <SmashingX> bc81: or if it's not possible I would like to just change the path of the program that is in the list of programs
[15:53] <gilles_> wow .. i have no programs open and its slow .. 10.10 is extremly fast
[15:53] <airtonix> gilles_: i would first try 2d mode in either unity or gnome-shell, then try xfce
[15:53] <randomnewb> CyborgSmurf: Can you boot into windows safe mode?
[15:53] <bc81> SmashingX: well, my setup is probably very different from yours but i can right-click my main menu and choose "Edit Menus"  from there, i can update the path
[15:53] <SmashingX> gilles_: I thought the same thing but after some time of using it, Ubuntu also gets slow just like Windows over time
[15:54] <grindel> I tried the last thing, and then the first...so there may be a conflict I don't understand how to clean up
[15:54] <beasty> hmm nice
[15:54] <SmashingX> bc81: I have gnome3 installed on my system so I can't do that
[15:54] <CyborgSmurf> randomnewb: no, none of those works
[15:54] <beasty> reinstalled ubuntu in 15 minutes
[15:54] <grindel> (off the link I gave earlier
[15:54] <SmashingX> bc81: or is there any option where I can see Edit Menus?
[15:54] <airtonix> bc81: you can still run alacarte
[15:54] <gilles_> ok then // ill have to try another distro
[15:55] <gilles_> pclinuxos or something lol
[15:55] <airtonix> bc81: i mean SmashingX: , you can still run alacarte
[15:55] <gilles_> 2d mode ? how do i enable that ?
[15:55] <SmashingX> what's that?
[15:55] <airtonix> gilles_: well that's a fairly drastic reaction, did you try gnome-shell or xfce ?
[15:55] <CyborgSmurf> randomnewb: thing is that I have tried two different hdd and they had some other pool problems which took it to another level. This one just dosent want to boot even after conf in BIOS.
[15:55] <SmashingX> or how can i run that?
[15:56] <bc81> SmashingX: yes alt+f2 and type alacarte
[15:56] <gilles_> xfce gives me sound issues
[15:56] <airtonix> SmashingX: try it.. press the meta key (windows key) and type either of "alacarte" or "menu"
[15:56] <ubuntu> Ubiquity and Gparted dont detect partitions on my /dev/sdb, but Window/Nautilus does. Any idea why?
[15:56] <airtonix> SmashingX: typing "men" for me brings up "Main Menu" in the applications results
[15:57] <SmashingX> nothing
[15:57] <gilles_> how to go to 2d unity and or gnome shell?
[15:57] <SmashingX> it says Command not found
[15:58] <airtonix> SmashingX: did you do it in the gnome-shell overview? press the windows key or move the mouse to the top left corner
[15:58] <bc81> SmashingX: try gmenu-simple-editor.   also, see this thread - it may be relevant: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=933541
[15:59] <airtonix> bc81: gmenu isn't installed by default.
[15:59] <SmashingX> airtonix:  I did alt-F2
[16:00] <monohedron> can i access a device listed in the /dev folder from a remote machine ?
[16:00] <CyborgSmurf> I have a trouble booting up my computer with cd, help pls!
[16:00] <cheater_> hi
[16:01] <bc81> !details | CyborgSmurf
[16:01] <cheater_> how can i upgrade my 11.04 to 12.04 via the package manager?
[16:02] <monohedron> cheater_, try the update manager instead
[16:02] <cheater_> how do i do this with the update manager?
[16:02] <cheater_> the update notification does not show up because 12.04 is not released yet
[16:02] <airtonix> cheater_: you don't.
[16:02] <monohedron> doh yes sorry
[16:02] <cheater_> what then?
[16:03] <airtonix> cheater_: you move to 11.10 then to 12.04
[16:03] <zykotick9> cheater_: why do you want the beta version?
[16:03] <airtonix> cheater_: in the past direct upgrades to lts was only possible from other lts versions... all other versions you have to jump the point releases
[16:03] <cheater_> i want to see if it'll work stable with a new wifi interface i have
[16:03] <InstaGib111> salut a tous
[16:04] <InstaGib111> je suis français
[16:04] <InstaGib111> french
[16:04] <cheater_> airtonix: interesting i didn't know that
[16:04] <zykotick9> airtonix: i don't think that correct
[16:05] <InstaGib111> #unbuntu-fr
[16:05] <monohedron> cheater there is a live version
[16:05] <zykotick9> airtonix: it's LTS that will only update to LTS by default, but if you're following the regular upgrade path, everyone gets the LTS version until the next regular release
[16:05] <cheater_> i don't want live i want to run it off hdd
[16:05] <InstaGib111> irc fr?
[16:05] <monohedron> i did the same and besides some mouse trouble it worked great
[16:05] <zykotick9> !fr | InstaGib111
[16:05] <airtonix> zykotick9: that's what i said.
[16:05] <Seryth> What's the best song to record sound with?
[16:06] <airtonix> Seryth: one that plays?
[16:06] <ubuntu> Gparted/UbiquityInstaller dont detect my /dev/sdb partitions but Windows/Nautilus does. Any idea why? I'm in deep trouble now.  confused me
[16:07] <Seryth> Nullifi3d, airtonix: I want a program to record from my mic*
[16:07] <zykotick9> Seryth: audacity is pretty good
[16:07] <Nullifi3d> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AudioCapture
[16:07] <Nullifi3d> Seryth
[16:07] <Seryth> zykotick9: Ah yeah, audacity isn't bad. Forgot about taht one, ty :P
[16:07] <Seryth> Nullifi3d: thanks :)
[16:08] <monohedron> How can I access a device listed in the /dev folder from a remote machine ? If that question should go somewhere else please let me know what channel.
[16:08] <zykotick9> monohedron: ssh into the remote box then "ls /dev"
[16:09] <airtonix> monohedron: there are also other ways, but you were pretty vague on the requirements...
[16:09] <SmashingX> How can I update the programs that I have installed?
[16:09] <ubuntu> monohedron: you can access everything via ssh.
[16:09] <airtonix> SmashingX: via the ubuntu software center? or the command line?
[16:09] <zykotick9> SmashingX: "sudo apt-get update" followed by "sudo apt-get upgrade" is the command line version
[16:10] <monohedron> well ok i know but how to lets say mount /dev/sdd2
[16:10] <SmashingX> cool thans
[16:10] <monohedron> as an example
[16:10] <SmashingX> thanks
[16:10] <monohedron> i would like to have the foreign device as if it was on the local macine
[16:10] <zykotick9> monohedron: that won't work
[16:10] <SmashingX> zykotick9:if I do sudo apt-get upgrade atferwards it will know automatically what programs need to be updated?
[16:10] <airtonix> monohedron: yes but do you simply want to look at nautilus on remote machine and see a mounted disk ? or do you want to type : ssh://server/mnt/sdd2  ?
[16:11] <matt__> hi. Is there a terminal command that lets me see what hardware is in my laptop? I need to know the make and model of my wireless card to I can find a driver for it.
[16:11] <ubuntu> monohedron: `ssh <username>@<ip>`
[16:11] <zykotick9> SmashingX: i'm unclear on your followup question???
[16:11] <airtonix> monohedron: if you want them to look like local devices then you need to look into nfs
[16:11] <monohedron> ok that will do it for drives or is that possible for for al devies types
[16:11] <airtonix> monohedron: or smbfs or sshfs
[16:11] <Seryth> How can I change the password for a different user from root? I've forgotton it.
[16:11] <monohedron> !sshfs|monohedron
[16:12] <zykotick9> matt__: "lspci | grep -i network" most likely will list your wireless (not always)
[16:12] <ubuntu> monohedron: `sudo mkdir /dev/sxx && sudo mount /dev/sxx /mnt/sxx`
[16:12] <SmashingX> what I need to do is to upgrade a program let say Filezilla, so I want to make sure I have the latest version. Although I see that there's in fact a newer version so I was wondering if by doing what you suggested would do it
[16:12] <ubuntu> Gparted/UbiquityInstaller dont detect my /dev/sdb partitions but Windows/Nautilus does. Any idea why? I'm in deep trouble now. Please help.
[16:12] <SmashingX> zykotick9: what I need to do is to upgrade a program let say Filezilla, so I want to make sure I have the latest version. Although I see that there's in fact a newer version so I was wondering if by doing what you suggested would do it
[16:12] <zykotick9> Seryth: why do you have root?  "passwd username"
[16:12] <airtonix> SmashingX: where did you see that there was a newer version?
[16:12] <monohedron> ubuntu, we are past that point
[16:12] <Seryth> zykotick9: Ah, ty :)
[16:12] <SmashingX> airtonix: in the filezilla itsel
[16:13] <ubuntu> monohedron: where are we now then/
[16:13] <SmashingX> airtonix: Help-> check for new verions
[16:13] <zykotick9> SmashingX: after "sudo apt-get update" you'll have the most recent database of available programs
[16:13] <airtonix> SmashingX: how did you install the program in the first place ?
[16:13] <SmashingX> zykotick9: so just the database, but to update the program?
[16:13] <airtonix> SmashingX: software center? ppa? a zip file? a tar ball?
[16:13] <zykotick9> SmashingX: "sudo apt-get upgrade" will upgrade everything
[16:13] <SmashingX> airtonix: software center
[16:14] <airtonix> SmashingX: then you won't get a new version.
[16:14] <matt__> thanks zykotik9, that did it. I have a broadcom BCM4306
[16:14] <monohedron> ubuntu at devices that are no drives
[16:14] <svg> I'm having troubles installing Ubuntu 11.04 on a Mac Book Pro. Using the alternate cd, when setup starts up, it fails to recognize the cd(rom) and to mount it.
[16:14] <zykotick9> SmashingX: technically my last statement was a lie - "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" will upgrade everything (same as GUI update manager)
[16:14] <SmashingX> ok that was what my followup question was about
[16:14] <monohedron> i know how to mount a drive but how could i take a speaker along or a mouse or a  keyboard
[16:14] <airtonix> SmashingX: you would either need to look if the filezilla provides a ppa with the latest version of research how to install from tar.gz
[16:14] <airtonix> or *
[16:15] <SmashingX> airtonix: why it has to be such a pain to upgrade a software :(
[16:15] <airtonix> monohedron: speaker and keyboard are possible but handled by two other programs/protocols
[16:15] <monsterripper> hi there, how do install cinnamon on ubuntu , exactly ???
[16:15] <airtonix> SmashingX: as opposed to what?
[16:15] <OerHeks> !cinnamon
[16:15] <SmashingX> airtonix: other OS?
[16:15] <_raven> where is the rhythmbox-cache? (need to reset imported files))
[16:16] <zykotick9> monsterripper: when others have asked, they've typically gotten a "not supported" reply, but i don't personally have any idea... (i don't even really know what cinnamon is, is that mint's new interface?)
[16:16] <airtonix> SmashingX: windows doesn't have apt-get upgrade, macosx doesn't have the massive library of apt-get repos.
[16:16] <monohedron> airtonix, isn't there a standard way of 'mounting' devices across machines ?
[16:16] <monsterripper> zykotick9: yep...
[16:16] <zykotick9> monohedron: NFS for file systems
[16:16] <airtonix> SmashingX: yes. nfs.
[16:17] <SmashingX> to update you just have to download the newest version, install it and it will automatically replace the old version
[16:17] <airtonix> monohedron: you may also appreciate autofs
[16:17] <monohedron> zykotick9, don't mind file systems i kno how to do that
[16:17] <monohedron> airtonix, hmm let me have a look
[16:17] <Seryth> Hm, how can I change admin accounts? I wnat to delete an account, but I can't because it says that that user is the only system admin O.o
[16:17] <zykotick9> monohedron: for other devices, i don't thik it's possible
[16:17] <airtonix> SmashingX: thats one program... wait till you have to manage 100s of computers at once... now repeat your single action again 100 times.
[16:18] <airtonix> SmashingX: seriously... installing and managing software on linux is alot easier than windows or macosx
[16:18] <zykotick9> Seryth: add your user to the "admin" group (which permits sudo access)
[16:18] <SmashingX> airtonix: well for me it's useful because in that cas I'm only updating the software I'm really using
[16:18] <SmashingX> airtonix: why would you upgrade software you don't use?
[16:18] <airtonix> SmashingX: which is why i said "find a ppa that provides the latest version of filezilla"
[16:18] <Seryth> zykotick9: how?
[16:18] <zykotick9> airtonix: s/linux/ubuntu/ try slackware and say linux is easier for installing software ;)
[16:18] <airtonix> SmashingX: ? i wouldn't upgrade software i don't use... because i wouldn't have it installed.
[16:19] <_raven> where is the rhythmbox-cache? (need to reset scanned files)
[16:19] <SmashingX> airtonix: but with that I have to add it to a file that I don't remember the name, and the run many commands after I did a lot of research abou it
[16:19] <zykotick9> Seryth: i'm not going to reply.  So either ask the channel how, or do some research.
[16:19] <meta-coder> Woah woah woah! 1485 chatters here!
[16:19] <airtonix> SmashingX: and with macosx and windows you have to remember all individual the places all your software came from when you need to update them ...
[16:19] <SmashingX> airtonix: I'm pretty sure 90% of the people has at least 1 program in their computer they used to use it but not anymore
[16:20] <Seryth> zykotick9: Uh, okay....
[16:20] <airtonix> SmashingX: i'm not sure what your point is. or how that's a bad thing about apt-get
[16:21] <airtonix> SmashingX: 1. add ppa. 2. use software. 3. somewhere in future run : sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade 4. relish as all upgradable software is upgraded
[16:21] <SmashingX> airtonix: well my point is why it has to be such a pain to upgrade a program as you asked.. as opposed to lets say windows
[16:21] <module000> SmashingX: that "software i don't use" includes things like your drivers that you want updated to fix bugs/errors. along with a plethora of other useful updates.
[16:21] <zykotick9> module000: +1
[16:22] <royale1223> Gparted dont detect partitions. why?
[16:22] <celthunder> royale1223: what type?
[16:22] <SmashingX> module000:  drivers? I just install drivers when I install my OS, and then I forget about them
[16:22] <compdoc> SmashingX, you mean why would someone update software they dont use thats installed? Pretty simple answer to that
[16:22] <royale1223> celthunder: /dev/sdb sata
[16:22] <airtonix> SmashingX: last time i had to upgrade software on a windows machine it took me all afternoon... that's just one machine... same operation on my linux gaming laptop takes 30mins
[16:22] <celthunder> royale1223: do you have the fs tools installed for the partition type/mbr/gpt stuff
[16:22] <royale1223> celthunder: everything in it
[16:23] <royale1223> celthunder: tried deleting gpt via gdisk, no use
[16:23] <module000> SmashingX: and since you normally forget about them, that's precisely why you benefit from them being updated by someone who is watchful enough(your OS) to *not* forget about them. this is a non-argument, install windows if this makes no sense.
[16:23] <zykotick9> SmashingX: perhaps there are some variable you aren't taking into account.  Updates in Ubuntu ONLY fix bugs and security issues, that's it - you don't get NEW versions of stuff.
[16:23] <airtonix> SmashingX: btw why are you use filezilla when nautilus does ftp and sftp/ssh better
[16:23] <airtonix> zykotick9: unless you add ppa
[16:23] <_raven> where is the rhythmbox-cache? (need to reset scanned files)
[16:23] <zykotick9> airtonix: right, and PPA's are unsupported 3rd party
[16:23] <airtonix> _raven: somewhere in ~/.config/
[16:24] <royale1223> celthunder: this happend when i was using testdisk to recover a deleted partition
[16:24] <SmashingX> zykotick9: I think that's a good point
[16:24] <Seryth> How can I add a user to the admin group? I currently have two users, and I tried to delete one of them, but got an error saying that it's the only user in the admin group, and deleting it would screw everything up. How can I switch admin to the other user, so I can delete the one I want to?
[16:24] <SmashingX> zykotick9: But I also think there are also some improvements
[16:24] <czx> airtonix, in WIndows and MacOSX you don't have to wait FOUR months to upgrade your ENTIRE system to get a new version of a program
[16:24] <zykotick9> _raven: i always pointed rhythmbox to a directory with one or two files, rescanned, the switched back to regular music directory and rescanned
[16:24] <celthunder> royale1223: lol don't delete partitions you still want...gl
[16:25] <airtonix> czx: i don't have to wait four months on linux either.
[16:25] <airtonix> czx: it's great isn't it! :)
[16:25] <randomnewb> Linux tip for beginners in the terminal try: locate file-I-am-looking-for
[16:25] <_raven> zykotick9 ok ill try that tnx
[16:25] <czx> yes, if you can afford playing with git and compiler
[16:25] <royale1223> royale1223: i didnt. i recoverd the deleted partition. they are rw from nautilus. but gparted dont detect them
[16:25] <SmashingX> airtonix: mhhh I find Filezilla easier to use
[16:26] <airtonix> czx: who said anything about git?
[16:26] <royale1223> celthunder: : i didnt. i recoverd the deleted partition. they are rw from nautilus. but gparted dont detect them
[16:26] <airtonix> SmashingX: that's strange i find it frustratingly difficult to use.
[16:27] <SmashingX> airtonix: what's the main point why you find it easier?
[16:27] <royale1223> celthunder: and because gparted dont work i cant install ubuntu on it.
[16:27] <airtonix> SmashingX: it's the same interface that i use to operate on local files.
[16:27] <royale1223> celthunder: i can read write the files very well. Its just the gparted.
[16:27] <SmashingX> airtonix: well let me give it a try
[16:28] <SmashingX> airtonix: the bad thing about it is that I will have to lear the different functions to use
[16:28] <airtonix> SmashingX: is there some special feature that filezilla has?
[16:29] <svg> Anyone around running Ubuntu on a recent MacBook Pro?
[16:29] <airtonix> svg: yes.
[16:29] <airtonix> svg: 8,2 macbook pro.
[16:29] <royale1223> celthunder: are you still there buddy/
[16:29] <svg> I'm having troubles installing Ubuntu 11.04 on a Mac Book Pro. Using the alternate cd, when setup starts up, it fails to mount it the cdrom
[16:30] <airtonix> svg: yeah i went back to 10.10
[16:30] <celthunder> royale1223: no ideas lol
[16:30] <royale1223> svg: try usb installer. www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[16:30] <airtonix> svg: but i actually installed from usb i think.
[16:30] <royale1223> celthunder: thanks anyway.
[16:30] <airtonix> svg: but you have to prepare the usb as a hfs or something
[16:30] <celthunder> royale1223: try to do it from a terminal (start gparted) or use parted or fdisk see if you can get the error
[16:31] <svg> This sounds like the right module isn't loaded for cdrom access
[16:31] <mmaatt> I am having trouble with my wifi card. My internet connection is noticeably slower on ubuntu than on windows. Any suggestions on where to start?
[16:31] <purplefool> ok, trying to install a new graphic card and ran into problems.  the gui doesn't work, so i am stuck in terminal (not to savey there).  i am trying to get computer to update the system through ppa, but it only reads what is needed and doesn't download them...how to i get it to download the needed files?
[16:31] <royale1223> celthunder: no errors on fdisk
[16:33] <SmashingX> airtonix: not special feature but as I said sometimes you stick to a program because you know how it works and you know where to find anything you need easily, even thought others find it difficult to use (like in our case)
[16:33] <royale1223> celthunder: fdisk http://paste.ubuntu.com/847420/
[16:34] <airtonix> SmashingX: i think i really like the idea of having my ssh and ftp servers bookmarked in nautilus right there next to my other stuff... (plus once mounted they are actually accesible through ~/.gvfs/server name/path/to/stuff/on/remote/machine/
[16:34] <airtonix> SmashingX: smb included
[16:35] <royale1223> an advice to all people out here. never ever give ubuntu-tweak root permissions. it will f*** up your installation.
[16:35] <nineteen67comet> Hello; I'm looking for input/ideas on where to start looking for a linux happy way for my cousin to use a bar code scanner in his t-shirt/printing shop.
[16:36] <SmashingX> airtonix: anyway, it sucks that I can't edit my menus
[16:36] <purplefool> can you tell me how to get an update in terminal? sudo apt-get update only reads what is needed and doesn't download...
[16:36] <airtonix> SmashingX: did you try ther other method?
[16:36] <escott> purplefool, sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:36]  * czx confused with an eternal covil war in ubuntu community
[16:36] <airtonix> SmashingX: or did you only try with alt + f2
[16:36] <royale1223> purplefool: sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:37] <SmashingX> airtonix: what other method sorry I missed that
[16:37] <nineteen67comet> purplefool: sudo aptitude full-upgrade (or sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) ..
[16:37] <royale1223> purplefool: i use sudo apt-fast upgrade . much faster
[16:37] <airtonix> SmashingX: open up the gnome-shell overview: (press windows key) or move mouse to top left corner of screen, or press 'activities'
[16:37] <purplefool> ack! only misspelled it?!?  dam! hate spelling!
[16:37] <airtonix> SmashingX: then type menu
[16:38] <rymate1234> royale1223: apt-fast?
[16:38] <purplefool> thx for answer
[16:38] <royale1223> rymate1234: yea, uses axel or aria2c instead of wget
[16:38] <airtonix> SmashingX: if you don't have an entry called "main menu" (which you should since it comes installed by default), then open a terminal and type : sudo apt-get install alacarte
[16:39] <SmashingX> airtonix: Main Menu?
[16:39] <SmashingX> yeah
[16:39] <SmashingX> I see it
[16:39] <airtonix> SmashingX: run it.
[16:40] <SmashingX> mmhh I tried but nothing happens
[16:40] <danileigh79> purplefool: sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:40] <SmashingX> appmenu maybe?
[16:40] <royale1223> no mbr/partition editing wizards out here? i need the help of one.
[16:40] <___> :(
[16:41] <_____> hai
[16:41] <bazhang> royale1223, whats the question. ask the channel please
[16:41] <Masterlorn> hello
[16:41] <royale1223> Gparted dont detect partitions. why?
[16:42] <module000> royale1223: what partitiont able type
[16:42] <royale1223> fdisk http://paste.ubuntu.com/847420/
[16:42] <bazhang> royale1223, from the live cd?
[16:42] <danileigh79> royale1223: how many partitions do you have?
[16:42] <royale1223> danileigh79: i have 2 sata. prob is with sdb2
[16:42] <royale1223> bazhang: yep
[16:43] <royale1223> module000: ext4 logical
[16:43] <module000> royale1223: no what type of *table* is it.
[16:43] <module000> royale1223: gpt, msdos, ?
[16:43] <royale1223> module000: msdos, i deleted gpt data
[16:43] <module000> royale1223: what does `parted` show?
[16:43] <Masterlorn> I have a problem with my mouse. In Ubuntu 11.10 everything is fine until I click anything in the Dock on the left. Then I cant click at anything in the Windows and around. The only thing I can do is to open new applications.  So the keyboard works fine and I can open the terminal. Also I have to start it ALWAYS with nomodeset. 32bit also had that with 64bit
[16:44] <royale1223> module000: 1 sec
[16:44] <danileigh79> Masterlorn: Laptop touch, usb, or ps2 mouse?
[16:44] <SmashingX> airtonix: I had to insall alacarte because they didn't run, now it works, thanks!
[16:44] <Masterlorn> USB Mouse
[16:45] <Masterlorn> its a saitek cyborg rat 3 and there are no linux specified drivers for it
[16:45] <danileigh79> Masterlorn: wired or wireless
[16:45] <purplefool> is there a new command syntax for ppa-purge?
[16:45] <Masterlorn> danileigh79: wired
[16:45] <escott> royale1223, what did you use to remove the gpt table?
[16:45] <monsterripper> i want one i want one .... http://direct.tesco.com/product/images/?R=215-0673&tn=/3/SS12215-0673TPS1311741.jpg
[16:45] <danileigh79> Masterlorn: Laptop or desktop?
[16:45] <royale1223> module000: parted cant print /dev/sdb
[16:45] <royale1223> escott: gdisk
[16:46] <Masterlorn> danileigh79: desktop
[16:46] <svg> airtonix: ok, I solved it by dd'ing my iso on a USb stick and manually mounting that on /cdrom. Installer goes on fine after that.
[16:46] <royale1223> module000: parted http://paste.ubuntu.com/847433/
[16:47] <module000> royale1223: your geometry is fubar on that drive
[16:47] <purplefool> is there a new command syntax for ppa-purge?
[16:48] <royale1223> module000: i dont see anything wrong with geo. can you please point it out?
[16:48] <danileigh79> Masterlorn: what's lsusb say?
[16:48] <module000> royale1223: well parted *thinks* your geometry is the problem. it thinks one of the partition bounds is outside the total range of the disk
[16:48] <Masterlorn> danileigh79: what is what saying? :D im completely new to linux sry ^^
[16:49] <danileigh79> Masterlorn: sype lsusb into a seperate terminal
[16:49] <royale1223> module000: thats for sda. my issue is with sdb. parted dont even list sdb.
[16:49] <module000> royale1223: i dont' know how to fix that though, if it was me i would export the partitions, re-create the table, then import my data partitions. there could be an easier way but i don't have experience with it
[16:49] <danileigh79> Masterlorn: I have to leave very soon though
[16:49] <yakc> If I build a proxy server does it give same/my IP address to all who logs in?
[16:49] <module000> royale1223: oh, i was thinking of sda
[16:49] <compdoc> royale1223, 500GB drives are rarely actually 500GB
[16:49] <royale1223> module000: but fdisk does
[16:49] <Masterlorn> maybe i can lend a laptop for short so that i can ubuntu while youre helping me
[16:50] <royale1223> compdoc: so? i dont understand.
[16:50] <danileigh79> Masterlorn: I'm sorry, I can't wait.... I have to leave
[16:50] <compdoc> so I doubt you have those numbers right
[16:50] <Masterlorn> damn
[16:50] <module000> royale1223: i would still try exporting my data partitions and recreating the table, i'm not sure how to fix that.  your libparted version isn't old by any chance?
[16:51] <royale1223> compdoc: i'm not talking about 500gig disk. problem is with the 320 gig.
[16:51] <royale1223> i'm booting from 12.04 live cd. no way libparted is old
[16:51] <module000> royale1223: yea that's new....I don't know what is causing that
[16:52] <royale1223> how do i export data partition and recreate table? any guide available?
[16:52] <module000> royale1223: oh, just `dd` them
[16:53] <module000> royale1223: dd them all out, then `mktable` within parted to create a fresh table, then re-create the partitions and `dd` them back onto the disk
[16:54] <royale1223> module000: so i need another 320gig hdd to copy? right?
[16:54] <module000> royale1223: yes, or larger. before you do this, you might want to ask in #linux, there could be a solution i don't know about before you spend an hour or more importing/exporting data
[16:54] <probiotic> hi
[16:54] <ericus> Anyone with a Zenbook + ubuntu?
[16:55] <royale1223> module000: sadly i dont have another 320 gig.
[16:55] <royale1223> module000: thanks for your help. very educating. any other ideas?
[16:55] <module000> royale1223: definitely check ##linux for any solutions i'm missing then. or look at just salvaging the specific data you need
[16:55] <masterlorin> hey
[16:56] <probiotic> \list
[16:56] <royale1223> module000: sure. thanks. i'll try ##linux
[16:56] <probiotic> how can i switch to a german irc-server?
[16:56] <royale1223> module000: or is it #linux?
[16:56] <bazhang> probiotic, #ubuntu-de
[16:57] <PjotrOrial__> probiotic: by finding one, or joining the right channel here on freenode
[16:57] <module000> royale1223: both will take you to the same spot, ##linux
[16:57] <probiotic> bazhang, thank you!
[16:57] <masterlorin> i have a problem with my mouse on ubuntu 11.10, when im clicking anything in the dock, then i cant use my mouse anymore except from the dock and there only to start new apps. its the 32bit version
[16:57] <PjotrOrial__> ^^as bazhang said
[16:57] <royale1223> module000: okay, thanks
[16:58] <codemonkey1337> guys, I've got an easy question for you. I'm transfering a ton of files from my old computer to my new computer (about 65 gigs) and I'm using WINSCP though wine, the window froze in winSCP although the timer is going up...how can I tell if a folder is being written to in ubuntu so I can see if I need to restart the transfer?
[16:58] <masterlorin> i have a problem with my mouse on ubuntu 11.10, when im clicking anything in the dock, then i cant use my mouse anymore except from the dock and there only to start new apps. its the 32bit version
[16:59] <MonkeyDust> codemonkey1337  use could use watch ls -l your_foldeer
[17:00] <MonkeyDust> typos*
[17:00] <codemonkey1337> MonkeyDust: I did, it lists all folders as being 4096 bytes
[17:01] <MonkeyDust> codemonkey1337  it's watch -d to see the progress
[17:02] <codemonkey1337> man page    watch - execute a program periodically, showing output fullscreen. I get an error whenever I run the command. Backup isn't an executable
[17:03] <kernix> hi all
[17:04] <kernix> hi pcreux
[17:05] <sacarlson> how is ub version 11.10 working so far?  I'm still a chicken and running 10.04 with backports
[17:06] <zykotick9> codemonkey1337: winSCP through wine?  Why?  There are several scp native gnu/linux clients, including scp from cli (the -r switch is pretty handy).  But good luck.
[17:06] <mileon> codemonkey1337: yea you need only nautilus
[17:06] <chrisr> Since I upgraded my Ubuntu it now hangs on boot.   The screen goes blank and nothing happens.  It works if I boot to recovery mode, then do a fsck, then resume boot.   Here is the syslog of when it just simply stopped: http://pastie.org/3408901 .  Could anyone have a quick look to see if there's anything obvious there?
[17:07] <masterlorin> i have a problem with my mouse on ubuntu 11.10, when im clicking anything in the dock, then i cant use my mouse anymore except from the dock and there only to start new apps. its the 32bit version
[17:07] <mileon> codemonkey1337: only win users need winscp
[17:08] <MonkeyDust> codemonkey1337  and rsync is faster than cp or scp
[17:08] <chrisr> Is syslog the file I need to be looking at?
[17:08] <masterlorin> i have a problem with my mouse on ubuntu 11.10, when im clicking anything in the dock, then i cant use my mouse anymore except from the dock and there only to start new apps. its the 32bit version

[17:09] <FloodBot1> masterlorin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:09] <v01d`> how do i record in ubuntu
[17:09] <MonkeyDust> sacarlson  http://www.ubuntu.com/tour/en/
[17:09] <sacarlson> zykotick9: yes I noticed when I installed a later on a friends computer and had to go back one just version just to boot it
[17:09] <gridbag> compbiz / unity seems kind of slow.
[17:10] <v01d`> compiz sucks
[17:10] <v01d`> eats my graphics card
[17:10] <gridbag> v01d`, what do you use?
[17:11] <royale1223> module000: found out the problem. but dont know how to fix it. sdb1 is out of bounds. you still there?
[17:11] <v01d`> i think its nvidia
[17:12] <v01d`> but i run different vms
[17:12] <gridbag> i go up to the top of the screen and flick between the XChat/View/Server/Settings submenus, and it is pathetically slow. what is going on?
[17:12] <royale1223> module000: total 625142448 sectors; but ;/dev/sdb1  4095   625153409   312574657+   f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
[17:12] <sacarlson> zykotick9: but I don't think I have much support left on ubuntu 10.04 so have to move at some point
[17:13] <gridbag> this thing can do 100fps full screen texture/bumpmapped opengl, but simple windows are slow.
[17:13] <rymate1234> lol
[17:13] <royale1223> royale1223 calling module000 , module000 come in. :)
[17:13] <zykotick9> sacarlson: you still have time, should be supported "desktop" until 2013-04
[17:14] <sacarlson> zykotick9: that's only 13 months so I hope I have something
[17:14] <yakc> If I build a proxy server does it give same/my IP address to all who logs in?
[17:16] <kittykitty123456> lets see how long i stay connected for
[17:17] <v01d`> kiities i hate that
[17:17] <albech> can anyone recommend a good PHP syntax aware editor for Gnome?
[17:18] <v01d`> notepad++
[17:18] <v01d`> oh thats for windows
[17:18] <kittykitty123456> i am using wvdial to tether my phone for inet  access when i turn on nat masq the remote host dumps me saying someething about xxx doent accept redirects from ... to .. where all the ips are my first dns server
[17:19] <sacarlson> not sure it's related but I wrote a VLC or any mpris player app to generate play lists of unseen video files that I released today that needs testing https://github.com/sacarlson/GenPlayList writen in ruby glade
[17:19] <kittykitty123456> anyone familiar
[17:20] <LukeNukem> um, people from outside cant access my webserver
[17:20] <LukeNukem> how can i allow them in
[17:20] <LukeNukem> my ports are forwarded
[17:20] <sacarlson> albech:  I use gedit that highlites and colors the syntax of php
[17:20] <v01d`> port forward
[17:21] <f10w3r5> are you dropping http on your outside interface?
[17:21] <v01d`> along with port number
[17:21] <v01d`> both tcp and udp
[17:22] <LukeNukem> they are forwarded
[17:22] <sacarlson> LukeNukem: your router is forwarded?  is all the firewall on that system also disabled open?
[17:22] <f10w3r5> make sure you're allowing tcp/80 on your outside interface.
[17:22] <zykotick9> LukeNukem: you are saying ports and they - for default Web, it's just port 80.  What port(s) are you for forwarding?
[17:22] <aKer> Hi all, can someone tell me where i can find to change link on a l2j server for autovotemanager ?
[17:22] <sacarlson> LukeNukem: try give us a pastebin of sudo netstat -pant
[17:23] <LukeNukem> zykotick9, 80
[17:24] <LukeNukem> sacarlson, how do i disable it
[17:24] <LukeNukem> i mean i haven't installed any firewall, is there any by default
[17:24] <zykotick9> LukeNukem: it's not active by default
[17:24] <sacarlson> LukeNukem: no by default there should be none
[17:25] <sacarlson> LukeNukem: so if you didn't play with fw stuf then is your system listening on the port that you have it forwarded?  as I asked before sudo netstat -pant to find out
[17:25] <royale1223> module000: are you there?
[17:25] <archo43> i dont like debian, they ban me
[17:26] <zykotick9> LukeNukem: can a computer on the local network connect?  (verifies server is working)  are you forwarding to the correct IP of the server?  perhaps your ISP blocks port 80?
[17:26] <LukeNukem> http://pastebin.com/uBqJP4AE
[17:26] <royale1223> module000: i fixed it using fixparts. oohay!!!!!!
[17:26] <LukeNukem> no they dont, it worked on windows
[17:26] <LukeNukem> i can access the server myself using localhost
[17:26] <archo43> hi hi ppl
[17:26] <hot2trot> I want to auto-start into a certain window manager (ratpoison) and I set up ubuntu 11.10 to do this, but 1 out of 20 times it starts up in gnome... can anyone explain to me why this is happening and how it could be resolved?
[17:26] <sysco> bonjour a tous   , je sais que je suis sur une partie anglaise , j'en suis désolé , mais il me faudrais de l'aide please
[17:27] <DJones> !fr | sysco
[17:27] <royale1223> i love linux. there is a solution for everything here...
[17:27] <sacarlson> LukeNukem: this line tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      1094/apache2  shows that it is listening
[17:27] <zykotick9> archo43: FYI "computer hacking" is offtopic, kickable here as well.
[17:28] <sacarlson> LukeNukem: so if it was working on the same IP address that you should check with sudo ifconfig  then the problem is ?
[17:28] <LukeNukem> how do i check
[17:28] <sacarlson> LukeNukem: sudo ifconfig
[17:28] <LukeNukem> ok i typed that in
[17:28] <LukeNukem> shall i pastebin
[17:29] <sacarlson> LukeNukem: it's just one number it should match what you have forwarded
[17:29] <LukeNukem> http://pastebin.com/4QiiNVp2
[17:29] <LukeNukem> it does
[17:29] <LukeNukem> <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:29] <FloodBot1> LukeNukem: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[17:32] <purplefool> how do i uninstall my ati drivers in terminal?
[17:33] <zykotick9> !english | sysco
[17:33] <sacarlson> LukeNukem: you could take a look at sudo iptables -L  >pastebinit and see if that gives us a clue
[17:34] <sysco> merci de votre NON aide , je me debrouillerais seul  ! vive la communauté linux ( 2 jours dessus et deja decus  !!!!!!
[17:34] <sacarlson> LukeNukem: you can also monitor net activity with wireshark to get a clear picture of what is seen on the wire
[17:34] <fAz4> is it possible to see other users passwords on ubuntu ? i'm super user.
[17:34] <zykotick9> fAz4: no
[17:35] <sacarlson> fAz4: you can decode them if you want
[17:35] <DJones> sysco: This channel is English only I'm afraid, can you ask your question/explain the problem in English please
[17:35] <sacarlson> fAz4: or just change them
[17:35] <fAz4> ok, thanks
[17:35] <yakc> yakc
[17:35] <yakc> sorry
[17:35] <yakc> :)
[17:36] <sacarlson> fAz4: decoding a password may take time by the way
[17:37] <fAz4> sacarlson: i dont think so !?
[17:37] <v01d`> lol
[17:37] <fAz4> sacarlson: if you know the encryption algorithm, it should be decode soon, or i'm wrong
[17:38] <zykotick9> sacarlson: please don't continue this "breaking passwords" discussion
[17:38] <v01d`> wtf is goin on
[17:38] <ikonia> !wtf > v01d`
[17:38] <no_gravity> Hello from Germany! When I start my machine, I get asked to unlock "the Keyring" so my machine can access my wpa router. ok. Then when I start a root-terminal, I get asked to unlock "the keyring 'default'". What is the difference between theses keyrings? Can I make it so I only get asked once?
[17:38] <sacarlson> fAz4: it's dependant on you computers cpu speed and how difficult a password the user might have used (length)
[17:39] <v01d`> who is spamming
[17:39] <w7u64xi7> Hello every one, I've a small problem and can not find a solution for it at all. I am moving from Windows 7 to Ubuntu and used to have my 3 computers connected using remote desktop to each others as fine wit windows but do not know how to do so with ubuntu.
[17:39] <ikonia> v01d`: no-one is spamming
[17:39] <gridbag> what's next for compiz?  i'm interested in an update on desktop ui development, esp. for the next 12.04 release.
[17:39] <sacarlson> zykotick9: why is that an offline thing that people shouldn't know there vunerable?
[17:39] <Ampelbein> no_gravity: Do you use the same password for login as for the keyrings?
[17:39] <w7u64xi7> also is it possible to connect windows 7 to ubuntu remotely or not possible?
[17:39] <theadmin> w7u64xi7: TeamViewer is the easiest way. You can also use VNC.
[17:39] <no_gravity> Ampelbein: yes
[17:39] <v01d`> i mean flooding
[17:40] <ipomeamilano> I need help to configure https on apache2. who can help me?
[17:40] <w7u64xi7> I do not want to use internet
[17:40] <MonkeyDust> gridbag  i think you mean Head Up
[17:40] <w7u64xi7> What is VNC
[17:40] <zykotick9> sacarlson: you have NO idea who you are talking to.  AND they call root "super user" so what level do you think they are at?
[17:40] <ikonia> v01d`: no-one is flooding,
[17:40] <raatiniemi> w7u64xi7, use the remote desktop utility in ubuntu?
[17:41] <v01d`> command : /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[17:41] <theadmin> w7u64xi7: You don't have to use the internet with TeamViewer, it works over LAN as well :P But if you want to, just use VNC, as stated. There are many clients for it, find one which works for you
[17:41] <w7u64xi7> Really there is a one ?
[17:41] <Guest34961> hi,i have a little question.how to install audacious 3... on ubuntu 10.10?its is posible?
[17:41] <ikonia> v01d`: do you have a question/need ubuntu support ?
[17:41] <sacarlson> zykotick9: they should already have access to all but encrypted directory of there system so I"m not sure
[17:41] <archo43> i move from debian to ubuntu because debian people are mean
[17:42] <ikonia> archo43: no, they just don't wnat you asking how to hack - we don't want that either here.
[17:42] <zykotick9> archo43: continue asking about "computer hacking" and you'll find out how nice ubuntu is
[17:42] <ikonia> archo43: this channel is for ubuntu support only, if you keep to that topic there will be no issues
[17:42] <Ampelbein> no_gravity: If you start the program seahorse, do you see only 1 keyring?
[17:42] <gridbag> MonkeyDust, thanks, im reading up now.
[17:42] <f10w3r5> I have a box that we use as flight recorder (full packet capture).  dual nics, one in promisc mode.  We need to be able to connect to a network share but when eth1 is put up in promisc mode, it takes the ip of eth0 by default and adds a GW.  This makes it impossible for us to connect to the network share because routing is going nowhere.  I know we can either remove the ip address using ip addr del or delete the route, but I cannot fi
[17:42] <f10w3r5> out how to do it on start up.  Which script is run dead last, so I can append my command line to it?
[17:42] <no_gravity> Ampelbein: should i start it as root or as the user gnome runs as?
[17:42] <ipomeamilano>  I need help to configure https on apache2. who can help me?
[17:43] <archo43> how do i install ubuntu over this mean debian install?
[17:43] <w7u64xi7> theadmin: I have about 12 computers and I have windows 7 in one of them and the rest is Ubuntu and I want to access the whole 11 computers using ubuntu with the one using windows and not vice versa
[17:43] <Guest34961> how to install audacious 3.2 in ubuntu 10.10?
[17:43] <ikonia> !install | archo43
[17:43] <Ampelbein> no_gravity: never as root
[17:43] <gridbag> MonkeyDust, the fragmentation is bewildering sometimes. it makes it hard to talk about anything with all the codenames changing all the time.
[17:43] <theadmin> w7u64xi7: Well, there are too many ways to do it
[17:43] <sacarlson> f10w3r5: can't you just ssh in?
[17:43] <Ampelbein> no_gravity: It WILL mess up your configuration when started as root.
[17:44] <ipomeamilano>  I need help to configure https on apache2. who can help me?
[17:44] <no_gravity> Ampelbein: i dont see "keyrings" in that program. I see "Passwords: login" and "Passwords: default"
[17:44] <Ampelbein> no_gravity: those are the keyrings
[17:44] <sacarlson> ipomeamilano: that's very wide question, I've configured many apache2 systems
[17:45] <ipomeamilano>  I need help to configure https on apache2. who can help me?
[17:45] <f10w3r5> sacarlson:I just need to be able to start with dual nice, one in promisc mode with no IP address.
[17:45] <no_gravity> Ampelbein: so, could i combine them?
[17:45] <v01d`> airmon -ng
[17:45] <f10w3r5> I can SSH in and remove it once the server boots up, but I need it to be done automagically.
[17:45] <Ampelbein> no_gravity: You should set the "login" one as Default and see what saved secrets you need from the "Default" one.
[17:45] <ikonia> ipomeamilano: you just said that
[17:45] <comunistu> help me please!can install audacious 3.1 or 3.2 on ubuntu 10.10?
[17:46] <w7u64xi7> theadmin: The situation is exactly as the following: it is at work and we are a media company and we running each computer to do an exact job and need to follow what is going on from time to time. This is why I need to access from Windows 7 to Ubuntu remotely. Also because we use file transfer a ot we can not use internet as it is really costly for us.
[17:46] <ikonia> comunistu: if there is a package for it -yes
[17:46] <ikonia> comunistu: if there is no, no
[17:46] <Igramul> Hi, how can I disable the screen blanking (screen saver) in text mode? My server crashes from time to time and I cannot see any messages because the screen is blanked.
[17:46] <r0cketeer> somebody with experience about installing EDUbuntu in schools?
[17:46] <ikonia> r0cketeer: just ask the question
[17:46] <theadmin> w7u64xi7: As stated before, configure a VNC server, run TeamViewer in LAN mode, use ssh, anything really...
[17:46] <sacarlson> f10w3r5: I'm not clear on your config but if you can ping it then you should be able to ssh in and or ssh file access
[17:46] <no_gravity> Ampelbein: what do you mean with "see what saved secrets you need from the 'default' one"?
[17:47] <w7u64xi7> I used to use team viewer a lot
[17:47] <w7u64xi7> does there is a team viewer for linux?
[17:47] <w7u64xi7> let me check
[17:47] <theadmin> w7u64xi7: Yeah
[17:47] <satyanash> theadmin, there is?
[17:47] <satyanash> Awesome!
[17:47] <Ampelbein> no_gravity: Click the little arrow besides the "Passwords: Default", there will be a list of saved secrets.
[17:47] <no_gravity> Ampelbein: yes, i see them
[17:47] <Igramul> w7u64xi7, there is a team viewer for linux.
[17:48] <f10w3r5> can't ping because there is a route automatically created that goes nowhere (on eth1, which is in promisc mode)
[17:48] <no_gravity> Ampelbein: its only one. "local password for user root"
[17:48] <no_gravity> Ampelbein: now what?
[17:48] <f10w3r5> I think I'll try using airmon-ng instead of promisc mode.
[17:48] <arturstraczynski> Jak się macie ludziska
[17:48] <theadmin> w7u64xi7: Just run it in LAN mode, like this (screen from win7, but it looks the same on Linux anyway): http://i.imm.io/gO3B.png
[17:48] <v01d`> yes
[17:48] <MonkeyDust> satyanash  http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/04/how-to-install-teamviewer-on-linux-mint-and-connect-to-windows/
[17:49] <Ampelbein> no_gravity: There is no user root on default ubuntu (Well, there is, but the account isn't used) so you can remove that keyring altogether.
[17:49] <zykotick9> no_gravity: "seahorse - GNOME front end for GnuPG" i don't think seahorse is keyring related
[17:49] <Ampelbein> zykotick9: You think wrongly.
[17:49] <Bert_2> Hi, is there a way to check the progress of an ongoing fsck.ext3 ?
[17:49] <zykotick9> no_gravity: DANGER don't delete root stuff
[17:49] <hanthana> can we run Ubuntu on a Samsung Tab?
[17:49] <ikonia> Bert_2: it displays it's progress on screen
[17:49] <ikonia> hanthana: no
[17:50] <hanthana> some thing like Galazy Tab?
[17:50] <w7u64xi7> Igramul: theadmin: shall I check the box of using Team Viewer VPN?
[17:50] <no_gravity> Ampelbein: then i have to type the password everytime i start a root terminal. i have put this entry in my main-menu: gksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator. thats what i use.
[17:50] <Bert_2> ikonia: currently not, it depends on which switches you use
[17:50] <ikonia> hanthana: no
[17:50] <hanthana> ikonia, any specific reason?
[17:50] <theadmin> w7u64xi7: That's pointless most of the time, I don't think that even works on Linux
[17:50] <w7u64xi7> During installation I mean
[17:50] <w7u64xi7> Ok
[17:50] <theadmin> hanthana: It *is* possible, but it's not too well-supported.
[17:50] <ikonia> Bert_2: no, it should say "running pass one, %X percent compelte", running pass 2 $x complete
[17:50] <ikonia> hanthana: it's not compatible
[17:51] <Mayank> Hi, I want to download all pdf files on a page. I trired running this -  wget --convert-links -r -A.pdf -erobots=off http://abc.com/somePage.asp. I just keep getting HTTP request sent, awaiting response... what am I doing wrong?
[17:51] <hanthana> theadmin, i have never used a Tab but today some one asked that question, can we expect that support?
[17:51] <Bert_2> ikonia: fsck.ext3 -r doesn't print percentages by default
[17:51] <hanthana> in the future?
[17:51] <ikonia> hanthana: no
[17:51] <theadmin> hanthana: It ain't supported officially and won't be
[17:51] <theadmin> hanthana: But there are tricks to get it to work
[17:51] <gridbag> anyone else have a problem with the top "Dash Home" transparent window being sluggish?
[17:51] <Ampelbein> no_gravity: What ubuntu release are you on?
[17:51] <ikonia> Bert_2: fsck by default will show percentage
[17:52] <Bert_2> ikonia: well, it is not from this bash instance I'm using
[17:52] <ikonia> Bert_2: bash has nothing to do with it
[17:52] <ikonia> Bert_2: what version of ubuntu are you running
[17:52] <rhizmoe> am i going to have to reset my clock format again when I logout, or is there a way to ensure that orage remembers what i want?
[17:52] <no_gravity> Ampelbein: ups, im in my debian partition right now.
[17:53] <hanthana> theadmin, actually i am a fedora user so, i am not udate with Ubuntu and also never used a Tab, it would be really great if we could use the same system on the Tab which we use in our desktop too ;-)
[17:53] <Bert_2> ikonia: I know bash has nothing to do with it, I'm running legacy and no longer supported 9.10, I'm using a truecrypt mapped device, the fs-repair is taking a long time and I have no way to know whether progress is being made
[17:53] <theadmin> hanthana: Meh, Android's good enough for mobile. Anyhow, that's offtopic discussion, not really welcome here
[17:53] <Ampelbein> no_gravity: Wait, you share your /home between ubuntu and debian?
[17:53] <ikonia> Bert_2: if you know bash has nothing to do with it, then why did you say "not from this bash"
[17:54] <hanthana> theadmin, do we have a freedom of customizing our system just for free of charge?
[17:54] <Bert_2> ikonia: I mean that I do not know whether any rc or aliasing is happening or whatever :P
[17:54] <no_gravity> Ampelbein: no
[17:54] <rhizmoe> what the
[17:54] <theadmin> hanthana: ...wut?
[17:54] <ikonia> hanthana: you can make whatever changes you wish
[17:54] <hanthana> i mean now we can install apps using apt-get or yum
[17:54] <archo43> whats the best way to delete debian before you install ubuntu?
[17:54] <hanthana> when ever we need a software
[17:54] <theadmin> archo43: Format everything :D
[17:54] <w7u64xi7> for most hardware combitability shall I use LTS or latest version of Ubuntu ?
[17:54] <archo43> ok like format c:/
[17:54] <archo43> ?
[17:54] <MonkeyDust> archo43  format during installation
[17:54] <ikonia> hanthana: https://help.ubuntu.com will tell you how to install software and use uubuntu in general
[17:55] <ikonia> archo43: I've given you a link on how to install ubuntu - please follow it
[17:55] <zykotick9> w7u64xi7: for new hardware, use the new version (LTS lacks support OOTB for newest hardware)
[17:55] <archo43> ok
[17:55] <w7u64xi7> zykotick9: Ok
[17:55] <archo43> can u send me like again pleas ikonia
[17:55] <ikonia> !install > archo43
[17:55] <hanthana> ikonia, i am asking about deploying applications which we use on Ubuntu, Fedora repositories on a Tab
[17:56] <ikonia> hanthana: you cannot mix software from fedora/ubuntu
[17:56] <_Marcus> Hello, all!
[17:56] <hanthana> like LibreOffice for a Tab
[17:56] <ikonia> hanthana: you cannot mix software from fedora/ubuntu
[17:56] <theadmin> hanthana: No, not possible, not officaially anyway.
[17:56] <theadmin> Bah, typos
[17:56] <airtonix> hanthana: tab?
[17:56] <zykotick9> ikonia: (i agree with you) but alien would disagree ;)
[17:57] <jarle> somehow something in 11.04 is keeping my screen from turning off via dpms, anybody else ran into (and solved) this problem? Never had this problem in earlier versions of Ubuntu.
[17:57] <ikonia> zykotick9: no - it wouldn't alien just changes the package format, not the content, the content is still useless
[17:57] <theadmin> ikonia: Depends on the software most of the time, something minor might even work :D
[17:58] <ikonia> theadmin: pretty much zero software will work unless it's "noarch" rpms
[17:58] <hanthana> there are thousands of of linux based softwares/applications so some one have to rewrite them for Andriod right?
[17:58] <theadmin> ikonia: Hm... well yeah, you got to be lucky :D
[17:59] <ikonia> hanthana: this isn't really anything to do with ubuntu so not really valid for this channel
[17:59] <hanthana> ikonia, ok thanks
[17:59] <ikonia> hanthana: try the #android channel
[18:00] <hanthana> ikonia, i came to know that any of you have successfully convert your andriod device in to Ubuntu system
[18:00] <hanthana> ikonia, cya
[18:00] <hatch> when I create an alias in the terminal (11.10) it doesn't stay for the future terminals I create it by going  `alias="something"`
[18:00] <hatch> how do I get it to stick around?
[18:00] <ikonia> hatch: put it in your .bash_profile
[18:00]  * archo43 waits for unbunti to install
[18:00] <zykotick9> hatch: ~/.bashrc to add alias
[18:01] <archo43> ubuntu is better than debian right?
[18:01] <ikonia> archo43: no, it's just different
[18:01] <zykotick9> archo43: don't ask those types of questions
[18:01] <auronandace> archo43: define better
[18:01] <theadmin> archo43: There's no "better".
[18:01] <zykotick9> auronandace: please no...
[18:01] <archo43> the people who make it right better code and arent bad people?
[18:01] <no_gravity> archo43: it was until version 11. now it sucks. I went back to debian.
[18:01] <archo43> oh
[18:01] <urfr332gO> !ot > archo43
[18:02] <ikonia> archo43: the people who make debian aren't bad - so please stop this sort of nonsense. This is your only warning. Clear ?
[18:02] <archo43> warning?
[18:02] <theadmin> archo43: This doesn't make much sense you know, Ubuntu's forked off Debian sort of, so the code is same a lot. Ubuntu's more up-to-date most of the time though, although has a much different software set and release system.
[18:02] <ikonia> archo43: correct, to stop this complaining about debian
[18:02] <w7u64xi7> I've found many .ISOs files to download, one of them is a DVD ... which one I should get ?
[18:03] <zykotick9> w7u64xi7: the DVD just ads more languages, use the CD

[18:03] <w7u64xi7> Ok
[18:03] <theadmin> w7u64xi7: Just get the desktop
[18:03] <theadmin> w7u64xi7: Alternate if you're using a RAID setup or need a CLI installer though
[18:04] <w7u64xi7> theadmin: please more clearness please
[18:04] <theadmin> w7u64xi7: (if you have no idea what I just said, get the desktop)

[18:04] <dabber> Hello. How can i see what files a apt-get installed put in my system and where they are?
[18:04] <theadmin> dabber: dpkg -L packagename
[18:04] <zykotick9> dabber: "dpkg -S foo"
[18:05] <zykotick9> theadmin: wow, dpkg -L is a lot differnt (read better)
[18:06] <theadmin> zykotick9: -S just searches for files... (s)he's asking how to see what files a package has, that's the most obvious way lol
[18:06] <archo43> is unbunti the fastest operating system around?
[18:06] <theadmin> archo43: Not really...
[18:07] <archo43> whats faster theadmin?
[18:07] <pangolin> archo43: Are you having any problem you need help with on Ubuntu?
[18:08] <archo43> pangolin: nope just waiting for it to install
[18:08] <archo43> pangolin: over my debian
[18:08] <theadmin> archo43: This channel only offers Ubuntu support, so we can't really discuss other distrso.
[18:08] <theadmin> distros*
[18:08] <theadmin> Gah what's wrong with me -_-
[18:08] <pangolin> archo43: ok cool, if you feel like chatting please join us in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:08] <archo43> ok

[18:09] <Burner_> is there config file for ip rules? or what is "right" place to put them
[18:09] <urfr332gO> theadmin, auto reflexs are hard to break. :)
[18:09] <w7u64xi7> I do not know if it is possible to ask about it here or not, but I am worry about my DVB-S PCI TeVii S420 DVB-S TV tuner if it will work or not ... how to know so please ?
[18:09] <pangolin> !iptables | Burner_
[18:09] <theadmin> urfr332gO: um, I normally type well, just something weird is happening with me today :D
[18:09] <Burner_> pangolin, I did not ask anything of iptables
[18:10] <greenflower> ciao jf   sim
[18:10] <pangolin> Burner_: my mistake :/
[18:10] <theadmin> Burner_: Do you mean "how to assign a static IP" or what?
[18:10] <Burner_> theadmin no, I mean that how to persist ip rules
[18:10] <theadmin> Burner_: ...What does "ip rules" even mean?
[18:10] <zykotick9> Burner_: "ip rules" suggests iptables actually
[18:10] <Burner_> theadmin iproute2 rules
[18:11] <theadmin> Burner_: Oh, routes.
[18:11] <Burner_> ip rule add bahbah
[18:11] <Burner_> actually it is not route. it is source routing rule ;)
[18:11] <w7u64xi7> this is the link http://www.tevii.com/Products_S420_1.asp and this the driver http://www.tevii.com/100315_Beta_linux_tevii_ds3000.rar
[18:11] <theadmin> Oh those... Burner_, likely somewhere in /etc/network/interfaces, but not so sure, I'm not very confident with networking on Ubuntu (i normally use netcfg)
[18:12] <theadmin> w7u64xi7: A linux driver in RAR? Those people are crazy
[18:12] <zykotick9> w7u64xi7: SIDENOTE someone releasing a linux driver as a RAR typically don't know what they are doing.  theadmin +1
[18:13] <akiko> is there a noobguide somewhere on how to setup full disk encryption on an ssd with as little performance impact as possible? is just letting ubuntu installer handle everything automatically a viable option? the more i google, the more confused i become.
[18:13] <Burner_> theadmin, it is not interface releated data so interfaces config is not wery good place for it. if there is config for it logically place for it is /etc/iproute2/ but I dont find any file for it
[18:13] <ch33z> wtf. when tryin to create a Virtual Host in Ubuntu Server 11.10 I created two virtual hosts in the /usr/local/apache2/httpd it says " No directory found or created"
[18:13] <w7u64xi7>                                                                                this is the link http://www.tevii.com/Support.asp
[18:14] <theadmin> Burner_: Not so sure, sorry :( Someone else might help.
[18:14] <ch33z> whats that ?
[18:14] <ch33z> this is too weird thoguh
[18:14] <Jeroen_> Hello people, I have a small problem with newly installed Ubuntu 11.10. The second monitor attached to my notebook is not recognized. Oddly, it *does* work when I boot from the live USB ubuntu, but not when I boot from the ubuntu I installed on the hard drive (installed from that same USB drive).
[18:15] <theadmin> Jeroen_: Can you open the hardware drivers tool and check if there are any available for your GPU?
[18:15] <ch33z> how do i create the direcotry if its no there?
[18:15] <theadmin> ch33z: Well, sudo mkdir -p /path/to/new/directory
[18:15] <ch33z> ah
[18:15] <theadmin> ch33z: Don't need sudo if it's in your home
[18:16] <ch33z> well any idea why it would say this though?
[18:16] <ch33z> im on apache2
[18:16] <ch33z> but when writing this directory in im in it
[18:16] <ch33z> but when i save it
[18:16] <ch33z> it says  "no such directory"
[18:16] <ch33z> ...?
[18:16] <FloodBot1> ch33z: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:16] <theadmin> ch33z: Sounds like either a) permission issue, b) weird editor, c) filesystem issue
[18:17] <ch33z> so any idea on what to do...? hmm
[18:18] <purplefool> i need to edit a .list file in terminal without access to a gui...how do i do that?
[18:18] <w7u64xi7> theadmin: zykotick9: http://i.imgur.com/IdzNm.png this is how it looks like (the driver).
[18:18] <Jeroen_> I've selected a proprietary driver; it sais: NVIDIA accelerated driver (version current) [recommended]
[18:18] <metasansana> try nano <file>
[18:18] <theadmin> purplefool: sudo nano blah.list
[18:18] <ch33z> hmm
[18:19] <ch33z> you sure?
[18:19] <theadmin> w7u64xi7: This is messed up... No sane installation method visible
[18:19] <theadmin> w7u64xi7: I wouldn't suggest you to use it
[18:20] <purplefool> thx 'theadmin'...
[18:20] <H3X5A> k
[18:20] <w7u64xi7> theadmin: Actually using the device is mandatory for us as we are a digital media company and need to record some things and produce it
[18:21] <w7u64xi7> does there any other way to run it under wine ( I do not know much about wine except that it may help to run some programs that are not working with linux.
[18:22] <theadmin> w7u64xi7: No, you can't run a driver with wine...
[18:22] <ch33z> im not sure though...
[18:23] <ch33z> im gonna shoot myself
[18:23] <ch33z> fuddge
[18:24] <urfr332gO> ch33z, please do not say say things like that.
[18:24] <ch33z> why
[18:24] <ch33z> its showing frustrationg
[18:24] <ch33z> frustation*
[18:24] <danny_> ok so i have a set of wallpapers in my pictures folder inside a folder labled "wallpapers" how do i make it so my back ground will change between then like everyso many minutes
[18:24] <urfr332gO> ch33z, personally I used to work on a suicide hotline it is just not a good thing to say.
[18:24] <urfr332gO> on line
[18:25] <ch33z> well, is there an ubuntu server chat?
[18:25] <MonkeyDust> danny_  create a xml-file or downoad one and modify it
[18:25] <ch33z> because this chat seems to be only working with desktops
[18:25] <theadmin> ch33z: #ubuntu-server , sure
[18:26] <danny_> MonkeyDust, can u send me a link for how to create one or modify one or tell me how to modify the one that comes preinstalled
[18:27] <MonkeyDust> danny_  http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/easily-create-xml-wallpapers-with-xml.html
[18:27] <rtdos> on my ubuntu machine (for example), is there a way to create a GUI-less session (no desktop, no mouse enabled, just full screen command line) ? the recovery-console session might work but i only have a 80*25 display (not full screen) and the mouse is still active. is there a way to edit this so that i have a full screen text display without a mouse?
[18:28] <theadmin> rtdos: ctrl-alt-f2
[18:28] <danny_> MonkeyDust, thank you man ur a boss
[18:28] <rtdos> can't a session be created that does not load a gui desktop (without having to use ctrl-alt-f2) ?
[18:29] <der_On> hi
[18:29] <theadmin> rtdos: a console xsession? Not sure it's possible with lightdm, that sounds like an oxymoron to me xD
[18:29] <w7u64xi7> theadmin: this is exactly my case with the same machine https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+question/186296
[18:29] <der_On> I'm having a strange problem: I can't execute binaries that are on a partition mounted under /media/ in 11.10 64bit
[18:30] <theadmin> der_On: They marked executable?
[18:30] <der_On> yes
[18:30] <der_On> it happened from one moment to the other
[18:30] <zykotick9> der_On: is this a FAT/NTFS partition?
[18:30] <escott> der_On, if it is mounted users then it is mounted noexec as well
[18:30] <der_On> no Ext4
[18:31] <der_On> in terminal it tells me it can't find the file
[18:31] <der_On> permissions are ok
[18:31] <rymate1234> lol
[18:31] <rymate1234> omgubuntu has error
[18:31] <theadmin> der_On: You are aware Linux is case-sensetive, right ("elephant" and "ELEPHANT" and "ElEpHaNt" are all different)
[18:31] <rymate1234> "Error establishing a database connection"
[18:31] <der_On> In nautilus I can't even rename folders on that partition, even the permissions are correct. I was only abel to rename using sudo
[18:32] <der_On> theadmin: sure
[18:32] <aguitel> ubuntu 10.04 server edition is live cd ?
[18:32] <theadmin> der_On: Hm...
[18:32] <zykotick9> aguitel: no it's a text based install cd
[18:33] <der_On> theadmin: I make a try. I will copy a binary that works on another partition there and test it
[18:33] <aguitel> zykotick9, much different than normal desktop edition?
[18:33] <zykotick9> aguitel: yes
[18:33] <dbbae> hello
[18:34] <vandal-> llk;
[18:34] <der_On> theadmin: does 64bit ubuntu need any :i386 packages to work?
[18:34] <rabbi1> Theme change is not changing the cursor expected... suggestion please ...
[18:34] <dbbae> is there a ppa with nginx compiled with tcp_proxy module ?
[18:34] <theadmin> der_On: Well, for the 32-bit binaries to work you need ia32-libs iircd
[18:34] <theadmin> iirc*
[18:35] <zykotick9> rabbi1: compiz seems to affect the cursor themse quite often (i have no suggestions though).  Good luck.
[18:36] <zykotick9> der_On: on ubuntu 11.10 you'll see lots of :i386 packages (it's due to multiarch, which is currently being developed)
[18:36] <linux_is_my_hero> why would skype not work after installing?  i run ubuntu 11.10 x64
[18:36] <dbbae> is there a ppa with nginx compiled with tcp_proxy module ?
[18:36] <theadmin> dbbae: ppas aren't really supported here
[18:36] <der_On> theadmin: cause I tried to install some i386 architecture package using getlibs, and afterwards I removed it, as it did not work and wanted to remove all the i386 packages getlibs installed
[18:36] <escott> linux_is_my_hero, you might need to install some :i386 packages. you can run ldd on the skype binary and see if any libraries are missing
[18:36] <Jeroen_> Just got it working with nvidia-settings :-). Thanks!
[18:37] <aguitel> ubuntu 10.04 server edition is possible to install gnome 2.x?
[18:37] <whoosh> is it possible to undervolt GPU on ubuntu?
[18:38] <theadmin> aguitel: Sure, just install ubuntu-desktop (or gnome-core if you wish)
[18:38] <zykotick9> aguitel: if you want a GUI, just install desktop (it's easier)
[18:38] <rabbi1> zykotick9: changed few things in compiz, cursor changes in few applications, starting to wonder
[18:38] <aguitel> zykotick9, what desktop ?
[18:38] <anonymous> hehehehehz
[18:39] <zykotick9> rabbi1: if you could (which with unity you can't) disable compiz, the cursor themes would probably work as designed
[18:39] <rabbi1> zykotick9: 10.04, gnome (not unity)
[18:39] <zykotick9> aguitel: the ubuntu-desktop ISO i mean
[18:39] <zykotick9> rabbi1: oh, then if you want to see the cursor themes "metacity --replace", and "compiz --replace" to get back
[18:40] <leonGomes> hehez
[18:40] <der_On> theadmin: okay. the binaries I want to execute are indeed 32bit. I tried with a 64bit binary and it works
[18:40] <aguitel> zykotick9, my question is to obtain updates for long period than in desktop edition
[18:40] <leonGomes> so easyyyyyyyyyyz
[18:41] <der_On> theadmin: but I have ia32 installed
[18:41] <zykotick9> aguitel: good plan - but won't work, the desktop like packages only get the 3 years (next LTS this won't apply)
[18:41] <theadmin> der_On: Hm, sorry, no idea
[18:41] <leonGomes> hello to all Anon....
[18:42] <aguitel> zykotick9, a ok ,but i have realy problems with next LTS coz my nvidia card is not soported (need 173xx drivers)
[18:42] <whoosh> Anybody...... is there a way to undervolt GPU ?
[18:42] <whoosh> oooh! tell me about problems with NVIDIA!!
[18:42] <der_On> theadmin: I guess I accidently deleted some i386 package that is needed to run 32bit binaries
[18:42] <zykotick9> aguitel: time for a new card then.
[18:43] <h00k> !nvidia | whoosh
[18:43] <aguitel> zykotick9, man ,this is linux ,no win
[18:43] <zykotick9> aguitel: no, in your case "this is proprietary hardware" that is the issue
[18:44] <aguitel> zykotick9, yes but in 10.04 (like in squeeze) all run fine
[18:44] <zykotick9> aguitel: correct but nvidia's dropping support for old cards/old Xorg...
[18:45] <aguitel> zykotick9, sure
[18:45] <zykotick9> aguitel: i believe squeeze will be supported long then lucid (i was told 13 months left for lucid earlier)
[18:46] <zykotick9> s/long/longer/
[18:46] <aguitel> zykotick9, grat
[18:46] <aguitel> great
[18:47] <aguitel> zykotick9, if i remember ,squeeze will be soported 1 year after wheezy become stable
[18:47] <zykotick9> aguitel: correct, and wheezy isn't coming out next month that's for sure ;)
[18:48] <aguitel> zykotick9, ok
[18:48] <theadmin> ...why are you guys discussing debian releases? That's ot
[18:49] <rabbi1> zykotick9: oops, did that, yeah, got the cursor what i wanted. but lost controls and menubars of all windows :( had to restart
[18:49] <rabbi1> zykotick9: compiz --replace din't work even from Ctrl+Alt+F6 ...
[18:49] <clone1018> Anyone have any experience with ATI and Ubuntu? Trying to change my primary monitor with the drivers installed.
[18:49] <zykotick9> rabbi1: you best bet is probably to forget either a) cursor themes or b) compiz -- your choice
[18:50] <zykotick9> rabbi1: you'd need to run "compiz --replace" from inside Xorg (which technically c+a+f6 would be, but i'm not sure what you mean there)
[18:50] <rabbi1> zykotick9: :( thank you
[18:50] <rabbi1> zykotick9: i meant the same, i did run c --r from c+a+f6. but no luck. had to restart
[18:51] <zykotick9> rabbi1: sorry my bad X starts at F7 duhhh
[18:52] <rabbi1> zykotick9: yeah, sure got it :)

[18:55] <amaretto4u> hi all
[18:56] <leonGomes> hello
[18:57] <Uncle_Fester> hello
[18:57] <Uncle_Fester> i have a problem with ubuntu
[18:57] <Uncle_Fester> i had 10.10 and all of a sudden i lost sound
[18:58] <marti> how are requements hardware of Ubuntu 12.04?
[18:58] <Uncle_Fester> now i upgraded to 11.04 and still have no sound
[18:58] <theadmin> marti: Same as 11.10, also support for Precise is in #ubuntu+1
[18:58] <Uncle_Fester> my video card does sound too
[18:58] <r_tarandus> hai gais
[18:58] <marti> I used 10.04 LTS
[18:59] <marti> Now I am using Debian
[18:59] <marti> but is slow
[18:59] <zykotick9> !requirements | marti
[18:59] <Uncle_Fester> i looked up additional drivers, it shows the nvidia driver is recommened
[18:59] <r_tarandus> When I turn on my laptop, it takes me to the login screen. I type in my password, hit Enter, and then it flashes and loops back to the password screen, causing me to go in this infinite loop... I'm using the Guest account right now. What's up?
[19:00] <Uncle_Fester> and it says the driver is actinated but not currently in use
[19:00] <theadmin> r_tarandus: Your user profile is messed up basically
[19:00] <marti> is possibe to disable this menu on the left? And back to classic panels and gnome2?
[19:00] <purplefool> so, was editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and found that, in line 2, there is "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver" even though i have been trying all afternoon to get rid of ati drivers.  how can i get rid of ati drivers so i can finally install my nvidia card?
[19:00] <r_tarandus> theadmin: any suggestions, then?
[19:00] <Uncle_Fester> how do enable it to use?
[19:00] <auronandace> !gnome2 | marti
[19:00] <theadmin> !notunity | marti
[19:00] <theadmin> r_tarandus: Create another user and use that, removing the old one is what I say
[19:00] <OerHeks> Uncle_Fester, after enable nvidia drivers, reboot ?
[19:01] <r_tarandus> theadmin: I'm sorry, but how do I do that from the Guest account?
[19:01] <zykotick9> purplefool: move the xorg.conf to a different name, after installing nvidia use "sudo nvidia-xconfig" to get an nvidia specific xorg.conf
[19:01] <Uncle_Fester> i dont know how to enable
[19:01] <theadmin> r_tarandus: No real way -- hit Ctrl-Alt-F2, log in with your "real" account and then "sudo adduser new_username"
[19:01] <purplefool> thx...will try that!
[19:02] <marti> I'll wait for Ubu 12.04;)
[19:02] <marti> And I'll test then
[19:02] <Uncle_Fester> here is exactly what it says"This driver is activated but not currently in use"
[19:02] <zykotick9> Uncle_Fester: ignore that message (assuming your driver works), its a common bug (for a very long time)
[19:03] <Uncle_Fester> so how do i get it to give me sound,  i am assuming that is the problem'
[19:03] <purplefool> zykotick9, one problem though, i am cut off from using the gui...will nvidia-xconfig still work in terminal?
[19:03] <zykotick9> purplefool: yes, but after moving the current xorg.conf you might be able to use the GUI again
[19:04] <purplefool> zykotick9, kk, brb with results
[19:05] <computa_mike> I might be a bit thick here, but I'm struggling to burn an image to a DVD...  I made an image using brasero - and then tried to burn it to a disk but it won't let me.  I can see the disk, but the burn option is not available.  Any Ideas??
[19:05] <Uncle_Fester> at the top it says"no proprietary drivers are in use on this system"
[19:05] <skypce> hi guys, i have a postinst file in /debian/DEBIAN folder for create a deb package , but my problem is when install the package doesnt execute the postinst script . can you helpme please?
[19:05] <zykotick9> Uncle_Fester: that's a real issue - have you restarted?
[19:06] <Uncle_Fester> i havent done anything to the driver
[19:06] <zykotick9> Uncle_Fester: i mean, have you restarted your computer (ubuntu)?
[19:06] <Uncle_Fester> it happened all of a sudden in 10.10 and now i am in 11.04.  and still same problem
[19:07] <Uncle_Fester> i'll do it again
[19:07] <zykotick9> Uncle_Fester: well, good luck.  I'm not interesting in helping with upgrade issues.
[19:08] <purplefool> zykotick9, grrrr...this is just embarrassing! how do i rename a file?
[19:09] <purplefool> zykotick9, or move it for that matter!
[19:09] <zykotick9> purplefool: assuming you are in the /etc/X11 directory (in terminal) "sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.disabled"
[19:09] <zykotick9> purplefool: move/rename are the same thing ;)
[19:09] <purplefool> zykotick9, didn't it used to be md? or is that something else?
[19:10] <zykotick9> purplefool: nope
[19:14] <Uncle_Fester> well I figured it out
[19:14] <doug_ndndn> is it possible to have multiple gfx cards handled properly in 11.10 ?
[19:16] <purplefool> zykotick9, YOU ARE THE FUNK! been working on this for over 5 hours now and could not get this last step to work!  thankyouthankyouthankyou!!!
[19:16] <tech2> hi all, atm I have a mix of network manager configured wifi, hand-configured dnsmasq and just-converted-to network manager openvpn. Problem is that my dns lookups fail when my vpn is connected, any ideas where I should start?
[19:16] <zykotick9> purplefool: glad to help.  FYI "funk" means bad ususally.  So you insulted me ;)
[19:17] <purplefool> zykotick9, that is very interesting, cause where i come from it is exactly the opposite...but i think you know what i mean...
[19:19] <akiko> is there a noob guide somewhere on how to setup full disk encryption on a ssd with as little performance impact as possible? is just letting ubuntu installer handle everything automatically a viable option? the more i google, the more confused i become.
[19:23] <mneptok> akiko: you want the alternate installer, and set up LVM encrypted volumes when you partition manually.
[19:27] <kraz3d> I have apache2 installed, however I'd like to move my blog onto my own webserver so I need to install LAMP instead, am I best off uninstalling apache completely first?
[19:27] <zykotick9> !lamp | kraz3d
[19:28] <w7u64xi7> theadmin: please regarding installing the driver for my PCI card, I've found a readme file including the following only : http://pastebin.com/w3UVr5PS
[19:28] <w7u64xi7> theadmin: so what shall I do ?
[19:29] <williammanda> hello folks
[19:29] <theadmin> w7u64xi7: Just what the readme file says
[19:29] <kraz3d> zykotick9: that doesn't exactly tell me if I need to uninstall apache first before proceeding with this, but i'll do it anyway to be safe
[19:29] <w7u64xi7> theadmin: I am sorry, you mean to do it in terminal ?
[19:29] <zykotick9> kraz3d: are you really meaning XAMP or something.  Apache2 is part of Ubuntu's LAMP stack.
[19:30] <williammanda> question concerning the use of vaapi on sandy bridge in ubuntu...
[19:30] <theadmin> w7u64xi7: Yeah, just run "sudo -i", cd to where you unpacked the archive to and run those
[19:30] <kraz3d> zykotick9: yeah but I installed it and set it up alone first, i wasn't sure if that would be an issue
[19:30] <archo43> xamp?
[19:31] <zykotick9> kraz3d: if you are using some 3rd party LAMP/XAMP thing - it's not supported here (and is generally a bad idea).
[19:31] <OerHeks> !xamp | archo43
[19:31] <skypce> hello , can you helpme with a easy postinst script?
[19:31] <zykotick9> !xampp
[19:31] <kraz3d> zykotick9: no i'm just using stand-alone apache, but I need to now install the rest of the package to enable sql/php
[19:31] <LukeNukem> ok i fucked up my monitor
[19:31] <LukeNukem> sorry for bad language
[19:31] <LukeNukem> i have black edges
[19:32] <LukeNukem> and cant see the text field on xchat now
[19:32] <williammanda> when I use a media program....will I need to load the i965 driver or is that taken care of by the media programs?
[19:32] <zykotick9> kraz3d: in that case, why uninstall apache - you're just going to reinstall it?  good luck man.
[19:32] <physically_fit> why doesn't Mark Shuttleworth has a Twitter account? I demand the truth!

[19:52] <LjL> cloudgeek: "w3m" is a text-mode web browser.

[19:55] <cloudgeek> okay w3m or links thanks
[19:55] <cloudgeek> escott: nop , i am on server
[19:55] <kurrata> vim opens html files as "source" file, if you want to see html as "web page" you need cli web browser like the 1 mentioned earlier

[20:01] <hydrox24> mr_os_ubuntu: not that I am aware of sorry, though afmittedly I am not into those things
[20:01] <escott> w7u64xi7, if all you need is to extract a rar archive you should install unrar and then see if the gui tools can extract. I would bet that they can

[20:07] <hydrox24> !someone | francy
[20:07] <escott> keniobats, (a) 12 is not released (b) the main reported power regression has a very straightforward workaround to enable the pci power states

[20:09] <orated> Hello! I find weird behavior in physical RAM and temperature(lm-sensors) readings with odd peaks and trough - http://imagebin.org/199583 - causing cpu fan to rev up and down periodically. Is there a way to find the reason causing it? System idle with no odd process in top...
[20:09] <irvken> thank you ubuntu community - success
[20:09] <escott> keniobats, yes, unless there is another one i havent heard of
[20:10] <blinxwang> ikonia: Thanks.
[20:10] <mr_os_ubuntu> hello world: Help I think i am running 32 bit kernal on 64 bit processor ! getconf LONG_BIT tells 32
[20:10] <escott> keniobats, you will never get a power usage that is better than apple. they don't release enough hardware information for the developers to be able to do what they need to get the lower power consumption
[20:11] <escott> mr_os_ubuntu, check uname -a
[20:11] <keniobats> escott, I know that, but at least give me 4hs instead of 2h30min! :(
[20:11] <escott> keniobats, http://lwn.net/Articles/449448/
[20:12] <mr_os_ubuntu> thanks escott  it says Linux l0vers-nest 3.0.0-15-generic #26-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 20 15:59:53 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux ,
[20:12] <escott> mr_os_ubuntu, you are running a 32bit os
[20:12] <escott> keniobats, start with the workaround indicated at lwn then look into using powertop
[20:13] <keniobats> escott, I will, thanks a lot :)
[20:13] <mr_os_ubuntu> escott bundle of thanks , i want to know how can i check if HW is 64 bit? and if it is 64bit, can i upgrade my Ubuntu os to 64bit WITHOUT scratch install?
[20:13] <mizo> hi
[20:13] <mr_os_ubuntu> hi mizo
[20:13] <escott> mr_os_ubuntu, grep flags /proc/cpuinfo -- and look for "lm"  you cannot upgrade you must reinstall
[20:14] <mizo> how are you mr
[20:14] <ironhalik> is dd'ing a whole drive a good method of not-so-quick-but-foolproof os backup?
[20:15] <auronandace> ironhalik: if you are backing up to a bigger drive yes
[20:15] <rakesh> hello any one
[20:15] <rakesh> is there
[20:15] <mizo> wb
[20:16] <ironhalik> auronandace: and if something goes wrong, I can just dd it back? Itll restore my drive bit for bit?
[20:16] <escott> ironhalik, its a method, but you need to match the backup method to the intended restore method. if there is a hardware failure then a disk image may not be the best backup, because you likely would not be restoring to the same system
[20:16] <auronandace> ironhalik: exactly, yes
[20:16] <AlessandroLable> think, are you there ?
[20:16] <ironhalik> cool, thx
[20:16] <playit> hey
[20:17] <auronandace> ironhalik: also note escott's comment about hardware failure
[20:17] <ironhalik> escott: its meant to preserve a working config
[20:17] <mr_os_ubuntu> escott thanks , yes lm flag is presnt , does this mean my cpu is 64 bit?
[20:17] <ironhalik> so if Ill be restoring it, It will hopefully be to the same exact drive
[20:17] <rymate1234> hey
[20:17] <escott> ironhalik, there are other smaller potentially more flexible ways to do that. see !clone and etckeeper
[20:17] <playit> Is there a way to make it to where when you fullscreen an app there is a border of your background that the window can't go past?
[20:17] <ironhalik> !clone
[20:18] <rymate1234> I'm having a problem with the OMGUbuntu site
[20:18] <playit> so that when I full screen an app i still see a little bit of my background
[20:18] <escott> mr_os_ubuntu, yes it is 64bit hardware
[20:18] <rymate1234> all the pages but the home page throw a "can't establish database connection" error
[20:18] <mr_os_ubuntu> Bundle of thanks escott
[20:18] <rymate1234> or some shit
[20:18] <playit> im using gnome 3.2 on ubuntu 11.10
[20:19] <pangolin> rymate1234: that is not an Ubuntu issue. OMGubuntu is a separate entity. Also please mind your language
[20:19] <rakesh> hello abhisek are u there
[20:20] <rymate1234> oh
[20:20] <rymate1234> sorry
[20:20] <ironhalik> hmm, ok - but how will d handle cloning of a live drive? :>
[20:20] <ironhalik> dd*
[20:20] <kraz3d> Anyone here any good with MySQL?
[20:20] <escott> ironhalik, NEVER clone a mounted drive with dd
[20:21] <ironhalik> oh, ok :>
[20:21] <LjL> kraz3d: tried #mysql?
[20:21] <kraz3d> cool thanks
[20:22] <yanick_> hi, what process if the (adobe) flash process in chrome? before, it was using npviewer.bin, but there is no such process anymore
[20:22] <yanick_> s/if/is
[20:22] <escott> ironhalik, dd is not a very sophisticated solution. the better methods are: (A) a filesystem like btrfs which supports snapshots (B) tools like rsync that will copy files with permissions (C) git or other version control tools to save configuration files, also !clone
[20:23] <psusi> ironhalik, what do you mean by live?
[20:23] <auronandace> ironhalik:  even better would be just backing up data, rather than a whole os
[20:24] <ironhalik> I think dd will work best for me
[20:24] <tapas> what's the recommended way of disabling services like apache2 or mysql or tomcat at boot time?
[20:24] <tapas> i'd like to start them manually when needed
[20:24] <ironhalik> Ive got time and drive space, and dd is simple :)
[20:24] <mr_os_ubuntu> hey mizo use this to install backtrack http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2011/09/install-backtrack-5-application-in.html
[20:25] <psusi> ironhalik, if you insist on doing a disk image instead of proper backup, at least use a tool that is decent at it, like fsarchiver, partclone, or partimage
[20:25] <auronandace> mr_os_ubuntu: we don't support backtrack here
[20:25] <psusi> dd is dumb and wastes time and space copying unused areas of the disk
[20:26] <reliability> hi
[20:26] <ironhalik> I can gzip dd on the fly, it'll cut all the empty space
[20:26] <auronandace> psusi: he wanted fool-proof (less can go wrong), rather than efficient
[20:26] <escott> ironhalik, i would strongly recommend you not use dd. you aren't going to be able to verify that your backup is restorable. it sounds really easy, but unless you have multiple copies of the exact same hardware you will never be able to test your restore process. With any other method restore is substantially easier to verify
[20:27] <reliability> When I try to install clementine ('sudo aptitude install clementine'), because of some version conflict, aptitude suggest to _remove_ libc6, which I consider a bad idea. How can I solve that?
[20:27] <ironhalik> I need to look into btrfs :)
[20:28] <auronandace> ironhalik: its not ready
[20:28] <hydrox24> reliability: can you paste the error output into a pastebin website, then poste the link to the paste herre?
[20:28] <psusi> ironhalik, no, it won't since empty space is random garbage, not all zeroes
[20:29] <hydrox24> reliability: try here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[20:30] <ironhalik> damn, seems like I really need some other solution :)
[20:30] <psusi> ironhalik, why do you not just want to use tar or dump to backup your files?  makes it easy to verify and extract individual files instead of restoring the whole thing, and you can do incremental backups
[20:31] <reliability> hydrox24: ok, just a sec.
[20:31] <psusi> ironhalik, like I said, if you really want to do an image type backup, use partclone or fsarchiver, they are smart enough to skip the free space
[20:32] <auronandace> ironhalik: it is a lot easier to just backup what you need (your data), it also encourages you to be more organised and operating system agnostic
[20:32] <reliability> hydrox24: http://paste.ubuntu.com/847693/
[20:32] <escott> ironhalik, and think seriously about how you would verify that your backup is good and restorable. a backup won't help you much if it cant be restored
[20:33] <ironhalik> auronandace: Im doing this so I can mess up my system, and restore it with couple of commands - data backup would require full reinstall
[20:33] <ironhalik> escott: yeah, it seems Ill need a more dedicated solution for that :)
[20:34] <auronandace> ironhalik: why not use a vm and clone that?
[20:34] <ntr0py> Is there a 64bit version for googleearth around somewhere? I cant get 32bit working...

[20:43] <Ludlow> ok ;(
[20:43] <ubuntu> my version is 11.04
[20:43] <parapan_> auronandace: thank a lot ...I'm using this now ...
[20:43] <cypher-neo> ubuntu, Okay. So from the Languages screen you can apply languages system-wide. Did that help?
[20:43] <auronandace> parapan_: no worries, sorry i don't do any webhosting :)
[20:44] <flippo> I wonder why my key repeat keeps getting disabled.  (I turn it back on with the keyboard management dialog.)
[20:44] <exutux> flippo: brasero? so with brasero I can make a copy or an iso, how cai extract audio/video and make an avi?
[20:44] <ubuntu> ok guys thank's for help - i will try other chanels
[20:44] <cypher-neo> exutux, Check out k9copy

[20:44] <exutux> cypher-neo: ok
[20:44] <cypher-neo> exutux, You can rip to avi and lots of other formats as well.
[20:45] <flippo> I would probably user mencoder for conversions, but k9copy sounds way easier
[20:45] <parapan_> auronandace: didn't expect you to do do ;) - but the support is always good
[20:45] <flippo> [use]
[20:45] <cypher-neo> flippo, k9copy uses mencoder as well.
[20:45] <exutux> cypher-neo: I'll try it, I found handbrake too.. cypher-neo do you know it?
[20:45] <cypher-neo> flippo, It's just a simpler front-end to the program.
[20:45] <tonyjkl> So, I've been having this issue every time I try to install 11.10 on my System76 laptop. I go through the install and every time I try to start it show the splash then goes into text and the last thing listed is "mountall: disconnected from Plymouth"... I Googled the heck out of it and all solutions haven't worked... I can go to tty1 etc and login the "startx" and it goes into the Ubuntu GUI just fine... after that I tried installng diffe
[20:45] <tonyjkl> rent things with the Nvidia drivers and no such luck... please help!
[20:46] <flippo> cypher-neo✌ there seem to be a number of those
[20:46] <cypher-neo> exutux, Never used handbrake. Can't help you there.
[20:46] <exutux> cypher-neo: ok thanks
[20:46] <diverdude> Hello. If i were to make a deb-package of the webserver nginx compiled with a special module, would it be a big job to do? I want to do it so that i can always easily install it as well as remove it.
[20:46] <kraz3d> Unable to create directory /home/kraz3d/public_html/wp-content/uploads/2012/02. Is its parent directory writable by the server?
[20:46] <un1337pony> hello?
[20:47] <kraz3d> How could I change the permissions?
[20:47] <meisth0th> hello
[20:47] <un1337pony> the usb-creator program says it failed to install a bootloader, it hates my usb stick
[20:47] <un1337pony> what should I do @_@?
[20:47] <exutux> cypher-neo: well handbrake isn't on 10.04 repos, so I'll install k9copy D
[20:47] <mongy> exutux: google it, you need to use a ppa for handbrake
[20:47] <meisth0th> even if i configured php to display errors it doesn't and i have to read errors from apache's log
[20:48] <exutux> mongy: yeah but I don't want PPA
[20:48] <exutux> on my system
[20:48] <gr33n7007h> un1337pony, try unetbootin
[20:48] <auronandace> exutux: good, no ppa is a sensible thing
[20:48] <mongy> exutux: well there are a few tools, like k9copy, arista, dvdrip
[20:48] <tonyjkl> anyone?
[20:49] <pcjc2> Hi, quick question.. I'm testing Perky Penguine (Ok, Precise), and installed the HUD from the testing PPA. That appears to be defunc'd now, so I can't think how to list what package is providing the HUD feature
[20:49] <log> exutux: Have you seen this list? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/RippingDVDs
[20:49] <exutux> mongy: thanks a lot I'll choose better for me :)
[20:49] <auronandace> !12.04 | PcJamesy
[20:49] <auronandace> !12.04 | pcjc2
[20:49] <thatkid> Hey everyone
[20:49] <pcjc2> Does anyone know which package is providing it?
[20:49] <auronandace> PcJamesy: sorry, wrong nick
[20:50] <exutux> log: I'm reading yeah, thanks
[20:50] <un1337pony> wat.. omg
[20:50] <un1337pony> apt-get gave me a bus error
[20:50] <log> pcjc2: Support for Precise is in #ubuntu+1.
[20:50] <un1337pony> when I asked for unetbootin
[20:50] <pcjc2> ah, thanks
[20:50] <thatkid> I'm a bit of an ubuntu noob, I was wondering if I could get some help? I'm trying to move a .zip from my documents folder to a usb drive via the terminal
[20:50] <meisth0th> any idea?
[20:50] <tonyjkl> After a fresh install, every time I start it goes to "mountall: disconnected from plymouth" along with a lot of other text before it. I can tty1 etc then login then "startx" will get me into the GUI...
[20:50] <tonyjkl> I Google the heck out of it and all solutions didn't work
[20:50] <thatkid> using cp says it "cannot stat"
[20:50] <tonyjkl> I tried various Nvidia drivers as well
[20:51] <paranoidphreak> hi everybody, is there a good torrent program that has a built-in search features that can search multiple torrent sites for the files?  i had tried fatrat but recently, the search feature stopped working
[20:51] <Technicus> Hello, I am trying to connect a laptop to a television via s-video, how can I achieve this?
[20:51] <cypher-neo> thatkid, the command you want is "mv"
[20:51] <thatkid> thanks :D
[20:51] <cypher-neo> thatkid, That will move the file from location 1 to location 2

[20:52] <un1337pony> everything is crashing
[20:52] <meco> Is there anyone who can look at these email headers and tell med the IP of the sender? http://pastebin.com/630Wruuj
[20:52] <thatkid> That's fine. My computer crashed from overheating during an update and now I can't do anything, so I'm going for a fresh install
[20:52] <tonyjkl> I tried re-installing several times
[20:52] <thatkid> so I'm just trying to move it all into a usb stick as backup loll

[20:55] <zykotick9> tjayh913: change the line GRUB_DEFAULT=0 in /etc/default/grub, then run "sudo update-grub" to apply change (note: recovery stuff is also counted)
[20:55] <Muelli> motoh: I'd use Python, but I guess that's not an appropriate question for this channel
[20:55] <core2gnulinux> alguien me puede ayudar con gimp, no lo puedo instalar
[20:55] <tonyjkl> if I contact System76 they'll say to go here... so that's why I'm here

[20:56] <Apollo> I have an OpenSSH server setup, but I do not want use a key to gain access.  What is the setting in ssh-config to define the password for a User?

[20:56] <core2gnulinux> hablo español no portugues
[20:56] <dr3mro> hello , is it possible to get totem > 3.0.1 in oneiric ?
[20:56] <ironhalik> hmm, regarding dd image integrity check - can't I md5 a drive and its image or something? :P
[20:56] <imnichol> Apollo, any reason you don't want to use a key?
[20:56] <OerHeks> !es | core2gnulinux
[20:56] <un1337pony> if I process is still moving around in htop.. then it's alive right?
[20:56] <Muelli> Apollo: well. OpenSSH uses your /etc/shadow to verify your password. Or PAM.
[20:57] <core2gnulinux> okkkk
[20:57] <Apollo> imnichol, I use multiple computers, which I don't have access to at this moment, that I need to connect to the SSH server
[20:57] <derbysieger> Muelli: its always pam
[20:57] <tonyjkl> anyone?
[20:57] <derbysieger> Muelli: and pam is asking /etc/shadow, slapd or something else
[20:57] <Muelli> well derbysieger. Unless you say UsePAM no
[20:57] <Princey> hey
[20:58] <Apollo> Muelli, I don't use PAM I don't believe
[20:58] <derbysieger> Muelli: yes ok but by default
[20:58] <Princey> im trying to download conky_grey from gnome-look.org but it appears to be down...again :(
[20:58] <imnichol> Apollo, hold on I'll check
[20:58] <imnichol> But I'd urge you to just use a key and save the private key to media that you can hold onto.  Using a password is dangerous.
[20:58] <tonyjkl> If you Google "mountall: disconnected from plymouth" there have been a lot of issues with this
[20:58] <erpo> What is the difference between Ubuntu and Ubuntu Server? Just a different set of default packages?
[20:59] <zykotick9> erpo: server doesn't come with a GUI
[20:59] <tonyjkl> none of the solutions have worked for me especially since there isn't an "xorg.conf.failback" in /etc/X11
[20:59] <Muelli> erpo: yes
[20:59] <Muelli> AFAIK
[20:59] <Apollo> I agree that a password isn't the best choice, it is only a temporary solution.  I just need to  know how to define that password until I can setup a key
[20:59] <Muelli> Apollo: sudo passwd user
[21:00] <Technicus> How do I detect what video hardware I have
[21:00] <zykotick9> Apollo: ssh uses the same passwords as the system
[21:00] <Muelli> Technicus: lspci | grep VGA
[21:00] <dr3mro> hello , is it possible to get totem > 3.0.1 in oneiric ?
[21:00] <c__> also set SSH to listen on a port other than default
[21:00] <Apollo> Zykotick9, Thats what I thought, but I keep getting access denied
[21:00] <tonyjkl> "startx" works from tty1 etc
[21:00] <zykotick9> Apollo: are you trying "root" by chance?
[21:00] <imnichol> Apollo, you're looking for the "PasswordAuthentication" field
[21:00] <cyberNode> hey guys, my mysql won't start on 10.04
[21:01] <Muelli> !details | cyberNode
[21:01] <Apollo> imnichol: Its set to yes
[21:01] <tjayh913> zykotick9: From the provided help it appears I will want a string to set as default. Is there a simple way to find this string? (Ie through viewing a different file or something?)
[21:01] <imnichol> Apollo, what account are you trying to log in as?
[21:01] <Apollo> zykotick9: Not sure :-\
[21:01] <Apollo> imnichol: An account that defined using AllowUsers
[21:01] <imnichol> Apollo Also, are you typing something like "ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[21:01] <zykotick9> tjayh913: find the string you need to use?  no.
[21:02] <imnichol> Or is it just "ssh hostname.whatever"?
[21:02] <Apollo> Using putty
[21:02] <tonyjkl> one other thing I notcied is the splash screen that is right before it goes into the text is not the right resolution e.g. really big as opposed to the normal one.
[21:02] <imnichol> Ok, I'm a little rusty, are you specifying the username to use in one of the things in putty?
[21:02] <Apollo> imnichol: so I setup PuTTy to connect to mydomain.website.org
[21:02] <tonyjkl> I've tried different Nvidia drivers with no luck
[21:03] <tonyjkl> it seems to be a common issue but with different solutions
[21:03] <tjayh913> zykotick9: So I would assume that I need to reboot and record the exact choice that I want to boot with?
[21:03] <Apollo> Then, command windows comes up, ask for username
[21:03] <dr3mro> hello , is it possible to get totem > 3.0.1 in oneiric ?
[21:03] <zykotick9> tjayh913: that's probably easiest yes.
[21:03] <Apollo> I gave it the username defined by AllowUsers
[21:03] <tonyjkl> I like icecream
[21:03] <thatkid> How do I transfer a .zip file to a USB device when I'm being forced to work in a "read-only file system"?
[21:03] <Apollo> Then it asks for password
[21:03] <cyberNode> I can not get mysql started on Ubuntu 10.04. Tried service mysql start (get error start: Job failed to start)
[21:03] <tjayh913> zykotick9: Thank you.
[21:03] <auronandace> !enter | Apollo
[21:03] <thatkid> Alternatively, how do I make it not a read-only file system?
[21:04] <cyberNode> service mysql status (mysql stop/waiting)
[21:04] <zykotick9> thatkid: so long as the filesystem is "read only" there is nothing you can do.
[21:04] <OerHeks> thatkid no way
[21:04] <thatkid> So there is absolutely no way I can back up these files? I have root access, if that helps any
[21:05] <OerHeks> thatkid, if you have sufficient rights, you can.
[21:05] <_Marcus> thatkid: What are you trying to do?
[21:05] <Apollo> Imnichol: Any idea?
[21:05] <tonyjkl> OpenSuse installed just fine but I'll be dammed if I use OS, lol. just did it as a test
[21:05] <thatkid> Alright, so I was installing updates from the software center a few hours ago when my laptop crashed
[21:05] <AlanBell> thatkid: which is read only? the filesystem with the .zip on it or the destination usb drive?
[21:05] <thatkid> How do I find out?
[21:05] <tonyjkl> I'll try back at a less busy time unless someone can help?
[21:06] <zykotick9> AlanBell: that error only makes sense for the destination
[21:06] <thatkid> When I turn it back on, the screen is black. Eventually I found out the only way to do anything was through an old kernel, even as early as 0.0-15 works. I can't access wireless internet, my trackpad is ignored, and there is no sound. So I'm trying to back things up to a USB device and then I'm just going to go with a fresh install
[21:07] <AlanBell> right, so the USB device shouldn't be read only
[21:07] <thatkid> It doesnt appear to be
[21:07] <auronandace> tonyjkl: what's the issue?
[21:07] <amalgama> hello ppl.. 2 questions: 1. when typing ctrl+alt+Fx,is the gui still loaded?? if yes, is it possible to move to a terminal and get the gui unloaded(and ifyes, how to go back to X?)... 2.how can i get more than 7 virtual terminals in ubuntu?
[21:08] <AlanBell> ok, have you mounted the USB drive somewhere?
[21:08] <thatkid> Uh
[21:08] <ntr0py> Has someone here fixed the tiny-fonts problem with googleearth?
[21:08] <thatkid> Define mounted? I can access its contents
[21:08] <zykotick9> amalgama: 1) yes Xorg is still running, alt+f7 (or f8) to get back.  2) not sure, but you might want to try screen instead
[21:09] <AlanBell> where in the filesystem is the usb device? /mnt/mydisk or /media/mydisk or something like that?
[21:09] <thatkid> wait
[21:09] <thatkid> it appears to be working just fine now
[21:09] <AlanBell> thatkid: did you boot from the USB device?
[21:10] <thatkid> and I don't even know what I did heh..
[21:10] <AlanBell> oh good :)
[21:10] <thatkid> Thanks :)
[21:10] <mr_os_ubuntu> what is the version of ubuntu u guys are running?
[21:10] <amalgama> zykotick9: screen?? and that means?? :)
[21:10] <mr_os_ubuntu> i am using 11.10 want to upgrade at 12.04
[21:10] <zykotick9> !info screen | amalgama
[21:10] <auronandace> mr_os_ubuntu: whatever is supported hopefully
[21:11] <EvilResistance> mr_os_ubuntu, i'm still on 11.04, but i would not move off of the stable releases just yet
[21:11] <auronandace> mr_os_ubuntu: can you wait till its released?
[21:11] <amalgama> zykotick9: ok ok.. i ll look for thanx for your help!!!
[21:11] <mr_os_ubuntu> no i can't wait i want to upgrade now
[21:11] <tonyjkl> auronandace: the first thing is its goes to the slpash but its not the right resolution then goes to the text and I can tty1 etc in from there
[21:11] <tonyjkl> with "startx"
[21:11] <auronandace> mr_os_ubuntu: thats not supported
[21:12] <OerHeks> mr_os_ubuntu, join #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 support & installation
[21:12] <tonyjkl> but after that on every boot the last line reads "mountall: disconnected from plymouth" I Googled the hell out of that last quote and tried all the solutions with no luck.
[21:12] <tonyjkl> it seems to be a common issue
[21:12] <mr_os_ubuntu> thanks auronandace oerHeks oh supported means? not commercially supported or what?
[21:12] <tonyjkl> with a ton of different solutions
[21:13] <auronandace> tonyjkl: sounds like a graphics issue to me
[21:13] <tonyjkl> that haven't worked for me especially since there isn't a "xorg.conf.failback" in /etc/X11
[21:13] <Apollo> I have an OpenSSH server setup, but I do not want use a key to gain access.  What is the setting in ssh-config to define the password for a User?
[21:13] <OerHeks> mr_os_ubuntu, it is alfa > beta stage, we cannot support it now, and that is the place to be
[21:13] <sonic__>  How do you activate html links in the windows version of evolution?
[21:13] <tonyjkl> me too but I tried different Nvida drivers with no luck as well
[21:14] <zykotick9> tonyjkl: have you tried nomodeset?
[21:14] <mr_os_ubuntu> thanks OerHeks ... i want to be involved in development somehow whats the best place to find video tutorials for ubuntu app development?
[21:14] <zamuel> hola
[21:14] <tonyjkl> zykotick9: no, what is that?
[21:14] <zykotick9> !nomodeset | tonyjkl
[21:14] <auronandace> !nomodeset | tonyjkl
[21:14] <zamuel> como etan todos
[21:14] <tonyjkl> zykotick9: great, thanks I'll give it a try
[21:14] <Myrtti> !es | zamuel
[21:16] <OerHeks> mr_os_ubuntu, i don't know about development, and/or if there are video's
[21:16] <mr_os_ubuntu> ok thanks OerHeks
[21:17] <Apollo> I have an OpenSSH server setup, but I do not want use a key to gain access.  What is the setting in ssh-config to define the password for a user?
[21:17] <Ben64> Apollo: passwords work by default
[21:18] <Apollo> ben64: I have passwordAuthentication set to yes and when I try to tunnel in via Putty I keep getting access denied
[21:18] <Muelli> Apollo: well. I do think that your windows putty is the culprit. Please pastebin us /var/log/auth.log
[21:19] <donavan01> anyone know of a program to compare two peices of source code for building a kernel
[21:20] <Muelli> hm donavan01? To compare code, one usually uses "diff".
[21:20] <zykotick9> Apollo: from the ssh server (if you have local access, I'm assuming you do) try "ssh localhost" (DON'T USE SUDO)
[21:21] <gmo> hello
[21:21] <donavan01> Meilli ... will that work for an entire kernel?  is there anykind of gui for it to make editing easier?
[21:21] <ssta> Apollo: it's PasswordAuthentication (case matters)
[21:21] <gmo> I justed configured my xchat for the first time
[21:21] <reliability> When I try to install clementine ('sudo aptitude install clementine'), because of some version conflict, aptitude suggest to _remove_ libc6, which I consider a bad idea. How can I solve that?
[21:21] <Ben64> ssta: it doesn't even need to be set by default
[21:21] <reliability> http://paste.ubuntu.com/847693/
[21:21] <Muelli> donavan01: diff works for two entire kernels, but doesn't do anything wrt editing. GUIs fotr diff include kdiff3
[21:21] <Apollo> ssta: It was originally commented out.  I only removed the #
[21:22] <Myrtti> donavan01: diff, or if you want a graphical user interface, meld
[21:22] <ubuntu__girl> reliability make a backup of that file and then remove it
[21:22] <donavan01> excellent thank you both
[21:22] <ubuntu__girl> simple :)
[21:22] <motoh> In my adventures to find a tty logger that isn't a teenager's hackjob, I have wound up looking at syslogd - can I mangle this utility into what I need?
