[08:28] <ActionParsnip> Mactimes: is the mic muted?
[08:28] <mactimes> ActionParsnip, No.
[08:28] <Jordan_U> lostinspace_46, Did you try installing b43-fwcutter while connected via ethernet ( it needs to download the firmware for legal reasons ) or downloading the firmware directly and just moving it to /lib/firmware/b43 ?
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> Mactimes: then all I got is to run: lspci | grep -i audio ,and websearch the output to find guides
[08:29] <mactimes> ActionParsnip, I've been browsing and googleing and it seems that the problem is related to one channel canceling the other one, but I'm no expert on that and all methods I've tried from web didn't solve it.  Now I have a clean install again to try to solve it if someone can help so I don't have any interference from prior tests.
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> Mactimes: sudo lshw -C audio ,may also help
[08:30] <ionut> ActionParsnip: yes but there are editors that make ur job easier (for example macromedia in windows) i don't want one like macromedia but one that can recognise tags and so on ..
[08:30] <mactimes> ActionParsnip, Ok, I'll try.  Thank you.
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> Mactimes: then you know as much as me
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> Ionut: try a few, see which gives what you need (or close)
[08:31] <theadmin> Is it somehow possible to allow a user to mount devices (that do not automount) without making him/her an admin?
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> Mactimes: could see if there are bugs logged for your hardware. You could try switching to OSS
[08:31] <mactimes> ActionParsnip, "sudo lshw -C audio" provided no output.  I'll pastebin the output of the other command line.
[08:32] <mactimes> ActionParsnip, I tried OSS too, but no success from that either.
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> Mactimes: try: sudo lshw -C sound ,then
[08:32] <mactimes> ActionParsnip, That one worked.
[08:32] <mactimes> ActionParsnip, I'll pastebin it.
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> Theadmin: add it in /etc/fstab and it will mount
[08:32] <lostinspace_46> ActionParsnip,  Jordan_U I type to slow to keep up..lol.  Umm why would b43 work in live env if it won't work in the O/S, and I pretty sure it won't. Had a hell of a time going wireless when I first got ubuntu.
[08:32] <mactimes> ActionParsnip, Again, thank you for the support.
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> Mactimes: I'm on my phone and web browsing is pretty painful
[08:33] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: O rly? Even if it's encrypted with TrueCrypt? I don't think that will work
[08:33] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Guess i was a little rude just now, sorry
[08:33] <timfrost> SPF: OK.  I can't locate that function on my system, but a search indicates that it is in a version of the main libc library that is re-entrant (denoted by the _r suffix). Does the configure script offer an option to not use the re-entrant library?
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> Theadmin: you never added that info. Its cool, just chill :D
[08:34] <Jordan_U> lostinspace_46, If you weren't connected to the internet when you installed b43-fwcutter it wouldn't have worked ( I know that sounds stupid, but broadcom won't allow Ubuntu to distribute their firmware so it has to be downloaded from broadcom's site )
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> Theadmin: I've not used encrypted filesystems. I don't wear a tinfoil hat
[08:35] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: hat?... huh
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> Theadmin: tinfoil hats stop the government reading your mind
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> Theadmin: not sure otherwise, sounds like a toughy but maybe someone else can help
[08:36] <mactimes> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.ca/1801299  I'll browse for issues related to my hardware.  In any case, I'm accepting suggestions should you have any.
[08:36] <Jordan_U> ActionParsnip, Nonsense, that's just what the government *wants* you to think!
[08:36] <stanman246> hi is it possible to 'stream' an external monitor?
[08:36] <theadmin> Hm... It seems it mounts fine if user has rwx access to mount point
[08:36]  * Gracenotes hits "snooze" on the bad analogy alarm
[08:37] <ionut> hei, we (me and some friends) have created a game in java. but for now is just working on windows. i'm wondering if i can make it work on linux (a debian package? )??
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> Jordan_u: they win this time
[08:37] <SPF> timfrost: not as far as I can see, I tried to exclude packages, but it did not work
[08:37] <Karhu> hi everyone i was wondering if anyone can help me..i have a 2Gig Kensington USB memory stick and it seems to have a file "stuck" on it..i tried to delete the file a while ago and it didnt work somehow..any other device i plug the drive into doesnt even see this file but my pc always does
[08:37] <theadmin> ionut: Just give users the .jar file, that will do it usually
[08:38] <thiefy> !chown | Karhu
[08:38] <theadmin> Karhu: Try checking the filesystem on it :/
[08:39] <theadmin> Karhu: fsck /dev/usbdrivename
[08:39] <thiefy> karhu, read up about the chown command. maybe that is your prob?
[08:39] <ionut> theadmin: now,because i've made it executable (.exe) . the source code is all in java ofcourse (i've done it using netbeans)
[08:39] <jj2> hi am new to ubuntu running x86 version of 9.10
[08:39] <thiefy> me too jj2
[08:39] <thiefy> er, me 2 jjtoo
[08:39] <jj2> yes
[08:40] <lostinspace_46> Jordan_U, Actually fwcutter is in the ubuntu repo. My drivers are bcmwl5 though.
[08:40] <theadmin> jj2: Okay, so, what is the problem
[08:40] <jj2> well i want to know how to write a scirpt to download using wget and then shutdown once the downlaod is over
[08:40] <Jordan_U> ionut, Why did you make it a .exe? a .jar or .class file can be run directly on windows, linux, and OSX.
[08:41] <theadmin> jj2: wget http://example.org/index.html -O /home/yourname/somefile && shutdown -h now (note, MUST be run as root)
[08:42] <Jordan_U> lostinspace_46, Yes, the package is in the repos and that package contains a script that downloads the firmware from broadcom's website when you install it, the firmware is not contained in the package itself
[08:42] <jj2> @the admin thanks
[08:42] <Jordan_U> lostinspace_46, If you are not connected to the internet when you install the package it will not work.
[08:42] <sabda> hai all
[08:43] <SPF> timfrost: I got a newer version from svn which works, sorry for the trouble
[08:44] <lostinspace_46> Jordan_U, I see, but would it work on drivers that weren't 43xx series?
[08:44] <ionut> Jordan_U: i want to make it public. is a great game , and is big also. is not good to do a.jar file.is better a .exe
[08:44] <timfrost> SPF: Ah OK.  I guess the older versikon depended on a library function that isn't in Ubuntu.
[08:45] <jj2> help i want to run gui apps from tty1 or tty2
[08:45] <theadmin> ionut: Provide Windows users with a .exe and Linux users with a .jar
[08:45] <Jordan_U> ionut, .jar files are compressed.
[08:45] <alankila> not necessarily, .jar can be uncompressed afaik.
[08:45] <theadmin> jj2: I don't think it's actually possible. But you can start a GUI in tty's using "startx"
[08:46] <ionut> theadmin: u know that not always .jar files respond . there are cases when they don't work. in windows i've found this problem a couple of times
[08:46] <lsdluna> im having problems with running an sh file for Alfresco, does anyone here have any experience?
[08:46] <alankila> theadmin: by the way, what is wrong with doubleclicking .jar on windows?
[08:46] <theadmin> alankila: JRE is not assigned to JAR by default.
[08:47] <tuxer_> hi all
[08:47] <jj2> got fatal server error display already running for :0
[08:47] <alankila> theadmin: yes, well, a jre/jdk is prerequisite.
[08:47] <Jordan_U> lostinspace_46, Can you pastebin the output from "lspci" ?
[08:47] <jj2> theadmin:i got fatal server error
[08:47] <lostinspace_46> Jordan_U, One minute
[08:47] <alankila> Once installed I've found .jar files to work just fine, though.
[08:48] <theadmin> jj2: I see... hem. Yeah same here :/ sorry, i dunno how to run X on multiple displays.
[08:48] <theadmin> alankila: Well, same here... so i dunno.
[08:48] <ionut> i am using kdesvn ( a svn application ) how can i add a user ?
[08:48] <theadmin> jj2: Err, multiple X's on same display
[08:48] <timfrost> jj2: try explicitly telling the app to attach to :0 with '-display :0' (don't use startx or xinit)
[08:49] <llutz> jj2: if you want to have a 2nd x-server running: startx -- :1
[08:50] <Jordan_U> ionut, Is this game open source?
[08:50] <fahadsadah> Jordan_U: kdesvn isn't a game.
[08:50] <ionut> Jordan_U: yes,it will be,but now is not finished
[08:50] <theadmin> fahadsadah: ...He reffers to game ionut is working
[08:50] <Jordan_U> fahadsadah, I'm referring to his earlier comments
[08:50] <fahadsadah> Oh
[08:51] <lostinspace_46> Jordan_U,  here it is....http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m19d680fd

[08:51] <shashank> Help needed with my cups printer.
[08:51] <Jordan_U> ionut, When the source is released under a DFSG compatible license you can probably get help from debian / ubuntu developers to package it.
[08:51] <shashank> I am unable to print pdf files
[08:52] <shashank> The status message is 'cups-insecure-filter'
[08:52] <shashank> There's some problem with backend
[08:52] <alphAEcho> Security Issue, anyone to help here?
[08:52] <Jordan_U> ionut, Depending on how popular it is / if a debian maintainer seems interested in it you may not even have to maintain the package yourself at all.
[08:52] <ionut> Jordan_U: i think is a good idea. the game is called keywords  (is a table game)
[08:52] <theadmin> Can i stop the automounted volumes appearing on my desktop? :/ it's not really nice to have them there.
[08:52] <shashank> What to do to make the printer secure
[08:53] <shashank> "Stopping the job because the scheduler could not execute the backend" is the error I get whenever I try to print something to pdf.
[08:53] <shashank> Please help
[08:53] <jj2> theadmin: i tried the $vlc  -display:0 error authentication failed
[08:53] <theadmin> ...Oh wait, can be done trough gconf, nevermind.
[08:53] <ionut> Jordan_U: good.the game has 3 languages (english,italian and portuguese) . has a good resolution (all resolutions ,it automatically detect ur resolution and fits itself) and has under 100 mb.
[08:54] <iceroot> is ubuntu amd64 using firefox in amd64 or i386? is it build from source or is it the mozilla i386 package?
[08:54] <shashank> Printer prob, please help.
[08:54] <ionut> Jordan_U: resolutions > 800x640
[08:54] <Jordan_U> iceroot, amd64 from source
[08:54] <shashank> ionut, I get 'cups-insecure-filter' status message
[08:55] <shashank> ionut, can you help?
[08:55] <iceroot> Jordan_U: thx
[08:55] <ionut> shashank: where u got that message ?
[08:55] <Jordan_U> iceroot, np
[08:55] <theadmin> iceroot: Built from source. It's the amd64 version.
[08:55] <DavidSchles> .me needs someones help
[08:55] <shashank> ionut, Whenever I try to print a file to pdf,
[08:55] <Xaero252> I have a networking question directly related to ubuntu; I have a router in redboot, which means it isn't actively doing anything except having a static ip adress listening on a port, however I don't know what IP adress the router is "on", its only possible for it to be within TWO subnets (192.168.0.x, and 192.168.1.x) is there any way I can scan each subnet for a device listening on a port?
[08:55]  * DavidSchles needs someones help
[08:56] <shashank> ionut, I get a message 'Stopping job because scheduler could not execute backend'
[08:56] <ionut> shashank: is ur printer installed well?
[08:56] <Jordan_U> iceroot, Note that unfortunately firefoxes javascript JIT is currently only 32 bit, so the 64 bit version is actually slower in some ways.
[08:56] <theadmin> DavidSchles: Don't ask to ask, just ask.
[08:56] <shashank> ionut, When I try to check  the status of the printer, (the place where all printers are listed)
[08:56] <DavidSchles> http://dsfdsf32.pastebin.com/d1f7cb9d4
[08:56] <DavidSchles> i get that error
[08:56] <shashank> ionut, I see 'cups-insecure-printer'
[08:56] <DavidSchles> and firefox segfaults as of the update that ubuntu recomended today
[08:57] <shashank> ionut, Yeah the printer is installed well.
[08:57] <shashank> ionut, what I did was:
[08:57] <lostinspace_46> Jordan_U, I see. it IS 43xx
[08:57] <iceroot> Jordan_U: nice to know.
[08:57] <theadmin> DavidSchles: Try apt-get install -f
[08:57] <shashank> ionut, After getting the error I removed the printer
[08:57] <shashank> ionut, and reinstalled it.
[08:57] <Jordan_U> !nmap | Xaero252
[08:57] <shashank> ionut, This I did using the terminal.
[08:57] <DavidSchles> theadmin: same error
[08:57] <ionut> shashank: what printer u have ?
[08:57] <DavidSchles> theadmin: apt-get just seems broken
[08:58] <shashank> ionut, cups-pdf
[08:58] <llutz> shashank: "find /usr/lib/cups/filter/ -type f -not -uid 0"
[08:58] <theadmin> DavidSchles: ...oh, never had problems like that. No idea then
[08:58] <shashank> ionut, wait I am on it.
[08:58] <Xaero252> Jordan_U: nmap is indeed a useful utility, but it only allows me to scan a specific IP adress for a listening port, it doesnt allow me to see if a device is attached to a static ip adress
[08:59] <shashank> ionut, I executed the command you typed, but it yields no result in the terminal.
[08:59] <DavidSchles> debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process: Resource temporarily unavailable
[08:59] <Jordan_U> Xaero252, What do you mean by "attatched to a static ip address" ? nmap can scan ranges of ports and ip addresses, what more do you need?
[08:59] <shashank> ionut, What do you think may be the problem?
[08:59] <ionut> i think there are some problems with permissions. u have to find anything in /usr/lib/cups/filter  and /usr/lib/cups/backend which are not owned by the root and chown and chgrp them to root ?
[09:00] <lostinspace_46> Jordan_U, So if I d/l it from Broadcom and replace the B43-fwcutter in the ISO with the d/l one then burn, it should work?
[09:00] <theadmin> Can i remove the software center... or at least get it back to how it was in Jaunty?
[09:00] <Xaero252> Jordan_U: hmmm, I'll check it out, is there any way I can pass it a level of verbosity (since when I tried to do nmap 192.168.2-254 it doesnt say anything and kinda just... sits)?
[09:00] <Squeese> Hey, I got an wireless card: D-Link DWA 556, it "worked" sortof out of the box when I installed Ubuntu, however - the connection is unstable, Im going to try using the MadWifi "module?", do I need to uninstall the current drivers?  Will upgrading from 9.04 to 9.10 affect any application?

[09:01] <theadmin> hsr: Breaks libnotify in a manner, popups appear not on top right but heck knows where
[09:01] <fireOnSong> how do u do this ... - "Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services"
[09:01] <ionut> shashank: try to run this commands sudo chown -hR /usr/lib/cups/filter , sudo chown -hR /usr/lib/cups/backend , sudo chgrp -hR /usr/lib/cups/filter , sudo chgrp -hR /usr/lib/cups/backend
[09:01] <hsr> Will it affect working of torrent in Transmission>??
[09:01] <theadmin> hsr: No.
[09:02] <Jordan_U> lostinspace_46, The easiest way to do it is to install b43-fwcutter on your main machine, when it downloads and extracts the firmware from broadcom's site it will create two directories, /lib/firmware/b43 and /lib/firmware/b43-legacy, you can just copy those in the live Session or remaster the CD to add those directories.
[09:02] <hsr> Any major change it can cause??
[09:02] <Cybert1nus> hello
[09:02] <theadmin> hsr: Nah. Trust me, i updated, everything was awesome.
[09:02] <hsr> i mean impact?
[09:02] <Sa[i]nT> How do I open up a port in Ubuntu?
[09:02] <ionut> shashank: sorry , u must add root between all for eg.   sudo chown -hR root /usr/libs/cups/filter
[09:02] <hsr> alright
[09:03] <Jordan_U> Sa[i]nT, All ports are open by default ( though not much is listening by default )
[09:03] <hsr> theadmin: thanks a lot for your help.
[09:03] <Jordan_U> Sa[i]nT, You might be thinking of port forewariding though, which is something you do on your router, not ubuntu itself
[09:05] <Cybert1nus> I've moved my Ubuntu Server install from one partition to another. I have a seperate /boot partition. I've done this before (with the same install) and then it worked. Now it doesn't. When I boot Grub2 works fine, but during the boot Linux can't find the root filesystem. I've checked the UUID it wants to mount, and it is the correct one. So it looks like my InitRD has lost the RAID drivers or something (I'm running on softraid level 1). Anybody any advice how
[09:05] <lostinspace_46> Jordan_U, Sounds good.  I assume there is a lib section in the ISO to put those files in?
[09:05] <DavidSchles> so dpkg just doesn't work for me anymore
[09:05] <Jordan_U> lostinspace_46, Yes
[09:06] <DavidSchles> this is horrible
[09:06] <tasslehoff> anyone know if there's a way to run a TeraTerm ttl-script in Linux?
[09:07] <theadmin> ...how do you remove One?

[09:21] <Jordan_U> DavidSchles, Just to be completely sure nothing legitimately has a lock on /etc/passwd I would reboot, then if they are still there delete /etc/passwd.lock and /etc/shadow.lock
[09:22] <DavidSchles> Jordan_U: yes i rebooted a few times
[09:22] <DavidSchles> Jordan_U: so i should just delete those files?
[09:22] <Jordan_U> DavidSchles, Shouldn't cause firefox to segfault but that is what is causing the problem with dpkg
[09:22] <Jordan_U> DavidSchles, Yes
[09:22] <DavidSchles> Jordan_U: ok i will delete
[09:22] <Jordan_U> DavidSchles, Wait
[09:22] <DavidSchles> Jordan_U: i believe dpkg failed in updating firefox, and that is causing the segfault

[09:32] <alankila> DaemonFC: at times, it does seem like linux steps backwards.
[09:32] <DaemonFC> alankila, I just install Catalyst 10.2 and Compiz now has a mind of its own :)
[09:33] <DaemonFC> and their release notes are not even up yet, so who knows what they did? :P
[09:33] <alankila> still, the poster has the wrong question. How can xorg devs release versions of xorg that don't support drivers that worked for some earlier release? HAven't they heard of backwards compatibility?
[09:34] <hidensoft> thiefy, that is player , i just need codec
[09:34] <alankila> THAT is the question. Was this question asked more often, people always had the option of using the old driver that worked.
[09:34] <DaemonFC> alankila, I am thinking about taking my Radeon out to the shooting range and replacing it with some kind of Geforce
[09:34] <bloodski> i've got an hfs+ journal fs, and i need to get the userdata like pictures etc, but it says it cannot access the dirs (some dirs (non-personal) i can get access to) and if i try to sudo chmod 777 the user dir, it says it's only mounted as read-only
[09:34] <DavidSchles> anyone know of a way i can reinstall firefox without loosing bookmarks?
[09:34] <llutz> DavidSchles: just reinstall it, it won't touch personal settings like bookmarks
[09:34] <DaemonFC> alankila, Nvidia is usually ahead of X.org
[09:35] <DavidSchles> llutz: must i remove it first then
[09:35] <alankila> DaemonFC: true, because they apparently don't use xorg much :) they reimplement large parts of it in their driver
[09:35] <llutz> DavidSchles: sudo aptitude reinstall firefox
[09:35] <DaemonFC> sometimes you can even pull X out of git and your Nvidia card still runs. ATI is now 6 months behind X.org
[09:35] <Jordan_U> alankila, Backwards compatibility is only important when the source isn't available. The Xorg ( and kernel ) devs just don't care about supporting proprietary drivers ( but this discussion should move to #ubuntu-offtopic )
[09:35] <DaemonFC> it's inexcusable
[09:35] <alankila> that's why nvidia's stuff works and ATI's stuff doesn't, or every new version update always is broken with ATI.
[09:35] <DavidSchles> llutz: thanks
[09:35] <oinkoinkoink> I have problem with Ubuntu, how can i access to Windows Update
[09:36] <DavidSchles> damn firefox still segfaults
[09:36] <DaemonFC> bypassing large parts of X when they had DRI 1 made sense
[09:36] <DaemonFC> it was the way to bypass a lot of X shortcomings and get better performance
[09:36] <shashank> How to remove folder from /usr/lib?
[09:36] <DaemonFC> sadly, ATI went along with DRI :)
[09:36] <thiefy> hidensoft, http://zoom-player.en.softonic.com/ this one says it plays 3gp files.... but i'm sure you could find a codec for vlc somewhere on the intertubes....
[09:37] <alankila> Jordan_U: I submit as final remark on this matter that USERS will love backwards compatibility, open source or proprietary. THey love that stuff just works.
[09:37] <shashank> Jordan_U, How to remove folder from /usr/lib
[09:37] <suigeneris> sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/folder
[09:37] <suigeneris> shashank, ^^
[09:37] <shashank> Jordan_U: I have removed a package, but the folder still exists.
[09:38] <shashank> suigenerisis, Hi!
[09:38] <shashank> suigeneris, Hi!
[09:38] <suigeneris> hi
[09:38] <shashank> suigeneris, can you help?
[09:38] <suigeneris> with what shashank ?
[09:38] <shashank> suigeneris, I have a folder to remove from /usr/lib
[09:39] <shashank> suigeneris, I have removed a package but the folder of the package still persists.
[09:39] <suigeneris> shashank, try sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/folder
[09:39] <shashank> suigeneris, I am on it!
[09:40] <shashank> suigeneris, Thanks!
[09:40] <suigeneris> shashank, np
[09:41] <bloodski> i've got an hfs+ journal fs, and i need to get the userdata like pictures etc, but it says it cannot access the dirs (some dirs (non-personal) i can get access to) and if i try to sudo chmod 777 the user dir, it says it's only mounted as read-only
[09:41] <bloodski> how can i access this dir?
[09:42] <suigeneris> would any creative webcam work for me?
[09:43] <joel_> I want to know how fast my processor is and what is supported by it only using the terminal.. how do I do? lshw -short doesn't list processor speed only type
[09:43] <osvaldo> hey guys morning
[09:43] <llutz> joel_: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[09:44] <alankila> the problem with cpuinfo is that it lists the currently prevailing CPU speed -- if you have dynamic scaling, the values can be, like, whatever.
[09:45] <llutz> alankila: the model name often provides missing info
[09:45] <mamous> hello
[09:45] <alankila> In case it does, no problem. I thought dmesg might be most reliable, the CPU is identified early.
[09:45] <mamous> I start my laptop
[09:45] <joel_> llutz, If I want to check if s-ata is supported.. how do i do that?
[09:45] <mamous> and it tells me network manager is not running
[09:46] <mamous> I type /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start
[09:46] <osvaldo> do someone knows a program that works just like Wine?
[09:46] <mamous> it tells me... : no such file or dirctory
[09:46] <llutz> joel_: open case, look for s-ata plugs ;) no idea, tried "lspci"?
[09:46] <mamous> what should it di
[09:46] <mamous> and my small sister now she did
[09:46] <mamous> sudo apt-get remove nerwork-manager
[09:46] <joel_> llutz, i dont rly know how a sata plug looks like.. the processor is a 1250 mhz amd athlon
[09:47] <alankila> joel_: well, you should definitely open the PC up and study the innards for a while. You'll have to know this stuff if you think the answer to the question is relevant anyway
[09:47] <llutz> joel_: get the model of your mainboard, feed google with it, if you don't own a manual
[09:47] <joel_> smart
[09:47] <joel_> thanks
[09:49] <alankila> the sata ports are often arranged in a row, at the bottom right edge of the motherboard, they are small rectangular slots which a small flat cable can be inserted, it will be engulfed by plastic & it's keyed so the cable can only go in one way
[09:50] <thiefy> joel. i'm sure google can also find you a picture of a sata port too.
[09:50] <thiefy> google knows everything.
[09:50] <thiefy> hence my previous answer of just looking inside the case after ye know what it looks like.
[09:51] <alankila> I'd start by opening the case, it's better to know what to look for first, and if you are systematic you'll have a passing familiarity with all the stuff inside at least one PC then. But mobo manuals are the best because they generally list all things of interest, albeit schematically, so you do have to open the case anyway
[09:51] <thiefy> so we aer all in agreement?
[09:51] <thiefy> open the bloody case?
[09:53] <shashank> Help Help Help, I accidentally deleted the cups folder from /usr/lib
[09:53] <shashank> Help Help Help, I accidentally deleted the cups folder from /usr/lib
[09:53] <shashank> Can anyone tell me how to get it back?
[09:53] <alankila> shashank: apt-get --reinstall cups (and all other cups-related packages you can find)
[09:53] <thiefy> heh
[09:53] <alankila> eh, apt-get --reinstall install cups
[09:53] <thiefy> isn't it in yer trash?
[09:53] <shashank> alankila, I am on it!
[09:54] <alankila> shashank: try dpkg -l|grep cups to look for other related packages, they might have supplied files under /usr/lib/cups, might not. Also try "dpkg -S /usr/lib/cups"
[09:54] <alankila> the dpkg -S ought to tell you all packages installed according to the dpkg database which have supplied a file with /usr/lib/cups as part of the path... Hopefully
[09:55] <shashank> alankila, the first command you gave does not work
[09:55] <shashank> alankila, that is : apt-get --reinstall cups
[09:55] <dsandy82> is this where I might query a question to those more knowledgeable than myself?
[09:55] <thiefy> no.
[09:56] <shashank> alankila, It reports: E: Invalid operation cups
[09:56] <thiefy> you are the smartest one here dsandy82
[09:56] <thiefy> so good luck.
[09:56] <alankila> shashank: yes, see my updated line
[09:56] <shashank> alankila, roger
[09:56] <dsandy82> lol, thanks for the smart ass...I have a family for that though, thank you
[09:56] <alankila> and the other stuff as well.
[09:56] <thiefy> i'm your lost twin brother.
[09:57] <thiefy> ever wonder why you had a twin sized bed?
[09:57] <thiefy> now you know.
[09:57] <dsandy82> damn!! lol
[09:57] <thiefy> mom lied to us.
[09:57] <dsandy82> so seriously though...
[09:57] <ikonia> it's ubuntu support discussion
[09:57] <ikonia> thiefy: keep in mind the topic of this channel please
[09:57] <thiefy> and she isn't a real queen either. i don't know why she got a queen sized bed.
[09:57] <ikonia> thiefy: stop please
[09:57] <thiefy> we're breaking the ice.
[09:57] <ikonia> enough now
[09:58] <thiefy> are you gonna be ok ikonia ?
[09:58] <dsandy82> thanks for the humor though thiefy
[09:58] <ikonia> thiefy: please check the topic of the channel, and try to keep to it, for idle chatter use #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:58] <shashank> alankila, I suppose your last command was to set the destination.
[09:58] <shashank> Alankila, But how do I install the packages?
[09:58] <thiefy> it's a sad day when some random irc guy scolds you for adding humour to a nerdy conversation which makes someone happy.
[09:59] <wuola> Do you  guys know of any chinese websites poorly written
[09:59] <alankila> shashank: err... dpkg -S ? No.
[09:59] <wuola> I need them immediately
[09:59] <shashank> Alankila, Yeah
[09:59] <ikonia> wuola: you've just asked in #ubuntu-offtopic - please keep that discussion in there - this is ubuntu support
[09:59] <shashank> alankila, that command worked.
[09:59] <alankila> shashank: "apt-get install" is for installing packages, --reinstall is for forcing an install even though the package already is installed according to database. What more do you want?
[09:59] <shashank> alankila, but all my attempts to reinstall the cups are in vain.
[09:59] <shashank> alankila, sorry about that, I will try once more
[10:00] <alankila> shashank: well, right, the dpkg -S should be a complete list of all files that dpkg thinks should be under /usr/lib/cups & all the package names that supplied these files, so you know which packages to attempt to reinstall
[10:00] <dsandy82> I just bought an Hannspree HF237, and have installed the official ati drivers for my new 5770 ati card.  the monitor goes to a 1920 x 1080 resolution natively, and I've set the resolution to that, but there's a black border around my desktop, it's not using all the screen
[10:01] <thiefy> is a hannspree a monitor?
[10:01] <alankila> shashank: but just in case something still doesn't work after you do it, I have no other suggestion except to extract the complete list of all cups-related packages and install them with some dpkg -l style line that lists all packages.
[10:01] <dsandy82> yea, 23" monitor
[10:01] <thiefy> is there a auto config button / setting in the monitor's front buttons? try that...
[10:01] <thiefy> it'll reconfig it self.
[10:01] <llutz> dsandy82: "xdpyinfo |grep dimen"   and check "/var/log/Xorg.0.log"
[10:01] <shashank> alankila, Here is my problem in detail: 1. the dpkg command you gave worked. 2. What did not work is this command: sudo apt-get --reinstall cups
[10:02] <alankila> shashank: you failed to notice the correct command I gave on the next line.
[10:02] <shashank> alakila, Wait I will read again.
[10:03] <alankila> shashank: it's annoying, I always forget to type --reinstall install because to my mind I already told apt-get to install something, I somehow always omit the second parameter.
[10:03] <dsandy82> yea, I went through the monitors menu's can't find anything useful there, do a factory reset, nothing, and ensure I'm set to use the HDMI connection.  Funny thing is in my windows install, the desktop is too big for the monitor at the same resolution
[10:03] <rasse> how to integrate php irc chat room inside a website ?
[10:03] <shashank> alankila, that worked!
[10:04] <shashank> alankila: Thanks!
[10:04] <helmut_> Hallo
[10:04] <alankila> shashank: make sure you have all packages that supplied files under that dir reinstalled.
[10:04] <shashank> alankila, roger that
[10:04] <dsandy82> llutz my result is as follows   "dimensions:    1920x1080 pixels (508x286 millimeters)"
[10:06] <alankila> shashank: and if you ever mess up the same way in /etc, know that reinstalling the packages does not bring new files under /etc. The packages must be removed and reinstalled. Or I have found no way.
[10:07] <kthomas_vh> I have no root passwd set (using keys) but my AWS instance now asks for a root passwd as well as key;  solution?
[10:08] <dsandy82> I've tried SO MANY google searches on this, either with the monitor name, graphics card...even replaced graphics card...can't find anything pertaining
[10:09] <jad> q: what is the significance of the number  n  in :     command (n)
[10:09] <thiefy> n is a letter.
[10:09] <thiefy> command n - doesn't that refer to isteve's OS - meaning command n is like saying 'new'
[10:10] <thiefy> like, in windows ctrl - n is for new.
[10:10] <songer> hello
[10:10] <jad> sorry, for example:   anacron (8)
[10:10] <llutz> jad: refers to manpage from part 8
[10:10] <songer> i need your help vlc can't play audio movies very well?
[10:10] <llutz> man 8 anacron
[10:10] <kthomas_vh> HELO<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:10] <alankila> and part 8 is for administrative tools. Just annoying obsolete manpage jargon, they ought to really do something about that.
[10:10] <songer>  somebody know why?
[10:10] <llutz> jad: read "man man"
[10:11] <alankila> it's annoying that helps system is itself obtuse enough to need a manual :)
[10:11] <kthomas_vh> um,  sections to man are useful :)
[10:11] <alankila> kthomas_vh: not denying they are useful. Just that numeric sections are annoying jargon.
[10:11] <kthomas_vh> well-- sure-- what's the alternative?
[10:11] <alankila> why couldn't it say "administrative tools" instead of 8?
[10:11] <llutz> too much typing
[10:11] <jad> thx llutz
[10:12] <kthomas_vh> because man adminstrative tools ...
[10:12] <kthomas_vh> ^ what llut_z said :)
[10:12]  * kthomas_vh moans
[10:12] <alankila> you don't have to type "man 'administratie tools' anacron". Just "man anacron". Any friendly system will scan what is available and show what it finds, if mulstiple matches then you pick what you want to see, and the numeric shortcuts could still work if you want them.
[10:13]  * kthomas_vh kills instance
[10:13] <kthomas_vh> goete moerge,  ChaosR
[10:13] <dsandy82> llutz, did you see my answer to your solution request?
[10:13] <vivek> i want to install dictionary can anyone tell me steps?
[10:13] <llutz> dsandy82: yes, but it messes my only idea
[10:14] <ddavids> vivek: i have also been looking for an offline dictionaryto install in karmic to no avail, anybody got clues?
[10:14] <dsandy82> yea, I've been on this all day...it's like the resolution is right, but the monitor is reporting itself a smaller size or something
[10:14]  * alankila also hates gnu info pages. It's super annoying that half of stuff is in man and other half in info, and all things have man pages per policy but the man pages kindly tell you that this page is obsolete and you might find more up-to-date stuff at info... But I sense I'm getting too ranty here.
[10:15] <sinthetek> i was hoping perhaps someone could explain to me some details on grub2... i would like to change how the boot menu describes the bootable oses and remove a few
[10:15] <ddavids> any offline dictionary on ubuntu?
[10:15] <llutz> ddavids: ding
[10:15] <sinthetek> i'm going through grub2 ubuntu-wiki now but nothing seems to jump out at me so far
[10:15] <ddavids> illutz: pls what is ding?
[10:15] <llutz> !info ding
[10:15] <ichat> strange,   installing from ubuntu-server x64  9.10  fails to install grub,  but with the exact same part screen (i only format volumes),  and a  ubuntu-aternative-desktop systeem it works fine
[10:15] <fodder> unplug the power on the monitor in case it had a power spike
[10:15] <crissi2> hi
[10:16] <llutz> ddavids: see ubottu
[10:16] <crissi2> how i can control the splash screen duration?
[10:16] <kemsiro> i follow as suggestion of someone here to use 'arp' to find out MAC address of other PC on LAN
[10:16] <ddavids> ilutz: how do i see ubottu
[10:16] <llutz> !info ding> ddavids
[10:16] <kemsiro> it turns out that only win 7's HWaddr is shown, xp is not ...
[10:16] <kthomas_vh> !ubottu
[10:16] <llutz> !info ding > ddavids
[10:17] <Jordan_U> sinthetek, First look in /etc/default/grub for basic configuration options, if you want to do more you might have to either create manual entries or edit the scripts in /etc/grub.d/
[10:18] <dsandy82> unplugged, and plugged in monitor.....no change
[10:18] <dsandy82> this is a brand new out of the box monitor
[10:18] <dsandy82> starting to want to go back to my old one
[10:18] <fodder> did you unplug power for 30-60 secs ?
[10:18] <dsandy82> 30
[10:18] <kemsiro> anyone ? i need to find out MAC address of PC on LAN ..
[10:18] <Researcher> Hello everyone.
[10:18] <fodder> good enough, that was my quick fix
[10:19] <stopmv> is it normal that banshee uses 95m memory
[10:19] <Researcher> kemsiro : arp -a will work for you
[10:19] <dsandy82> would the power cord make any difference?  I just used the one from my old monitor, since it's the same plug
[10:19] <Jordan_U> kemsiro, arp <ip>
[10:19] <alankila> stopmv: afraid so, it's done in a developer-friendly language, allegedly, but one that is less conservative on memory.
[10:19] <fodder> shouldn't make any difference
[10:19] <viniciusandre> is there any way of copying a file to a tar file preserving all the directory path?
[10:20] <viniciusandre> i mean, automatically create all the folders
[10:20] <stopmv> akankila thanks
[10:20] <dsandy82> yawn, alright, I'll try some more tomorrow before work, gotta goto bed for now, thanks anyways for now guys
[10:21] <BlackDalek> is an external dial-up modem likely to work "out of the box" for sending faxes using efax?
[10:21] <Jordan_U> viniciusandre, That's the default with the tar command
[10:21] <viniciusandre> Jordan_U, Oo
[10:21] <Jordan_U> viniciusandre, It will keep the entire path you give it
[10:21] <sinthetek> Jordan_U do you know if it is bad to revert to grub1? i have a bad hd in here with several oses (for recovery) and 6 on the main one as well. i just need to clearly distinguish which installs are which
[10:22] <viniciusandre> Jordan_U, let me see
[10:22] <bloodski> i've got an hfs+ journal fs, and i need to get the userdata like pictures etc, but it says it cannot access the dirs (some dirs (non-personal) i can get access to) and if i try to sudo chmod 777 the user dir, it says it's only mounted as read-only
[10:22] <bloodski> how can i access this dir?
[10:22] <alankila> bloodski: sudo ls works?
[10:23] <bloodski> sudo ls? alankila?
[10:23] <alankila> bloodski: if it's a local permissions issue, sudoing the filesystem access commands make them work, no matter what permissions.
[10:23] <Jordan_U> sinthetek, If you actually look at it grub legacy isn't actually any simpler for that.
[10:23] <alankila> bloodski: if there is no write support for the fs, you can't modify the filesystem.
[10:24] <alankila> (or if there is, but it has been mounted read-only for some reason, such as consistency failure detected by driver, don't know enough to tell.)
[10:24] <BlackDalek> are those mini USB modems "real" modems or just softmodem/winmodem jobbies?
[10:24] <bloodski> alankila: not sure what has happened
[10:25] <Nastya> Good morning everyone!
[10:25] <Sudeep> I had Grub Legacy earlier, upgraded my ubuntu to 9.10 and now i have Grub 2 but Im unable to boot into my Windows os now. I tried configuring the file  etc/grub.d/40_custom but still cudn't boot into Windows should I revert back to Grub Legacy or its the problem with my windows partition.
[10:25] <zvacet> !hi| Nastya
[10:25] <bloodski> but sudo cmd wont help it seems alankila
[10:25] <Speedy2> BlackDalek: Probably depends on the chipset.
[10:25] <sinthetek> Jordan_U editing literal strings and being able to see clear association between device/partition and those literal strings seems a lot simpler than whatever grub2 seems to do
[10:25] <alankila> bloodski: oh well, it was worth a try.
[10:26] <bloodski> sure, i'll plug it in to another box and see, not hoping for anything really tho
[10:26] <Jordan_U> sinthetek, Except the whole part about comments-that-aren't-really-comments and some areas that you can edit but will be overwritten without asking when you run update-grub and others that won't
[10:28] <Jordan_U> sinthetek, If you want to manually edit the menu entries for your other OS's then copy them from your grub.cfg into /etc/grub.d/40_custom then remove or "sudo chmod -x" /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober. Then you can edit /etc/grub.d/40_custom however you want.
[10:28] <bloodski> this is giving me such a headache
[10:29] <Lonniebiz> Any rsync experts here?
[10:29] <stdisease> Lonniebiz, there's bound to be some here of 1300 people
[10:30] <Jordan_U> sinthetek, If you want to see some of the confusion caused by how grub legacy's update-grub works in debian / ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/21412
[10:30] <Lonniebiz> I've been backing up with rsync, but can't find one article exclusively dedicated to restoring with rsync.
[10:30] <bloodski> can i mount a filesystem and force it to have write permissions?
[10:31] <Jordan_U> !anyone | Lonniebiz
[10:31] <stdisease> bloodski, -o rw in the mount command or 'rw' in the fstab
[10:31] <Lonniebiz> If I have ten folders that I've explicitly backup using an rsync command, how do I later restore those same ten folders to what is on the backup server?
[10:31] <alankila> bloodski: if the driver has no write capability, obviously not. Otherwise it should be default.
[10:31] <bloodski> stdisease: okay, thx
[10:31] <llutz> Lonniebiz: just copy the files or use rync in reverse direcction
[10:31] <Lonniebiz> ubottu, I'll do that next time.
[10:32] <dsandy82> llutz, wanted to report to you on the issue
[10:32] <bloodski> downloadin hfsplus
[10:32] <dsandy82> toyed around in the catalyst control panel, found scaling......setting scaling to the far right solved the black border issue
[10:33] <stdisease> being told by a but that it's not intelligent makes you feel terrible!
[10:33] <stdisease> *bot
[10:33] <lvlint> where do i go to change the gnome-terminal hotkeys.. specifically ctrl+shift+pageup or pagedwn to switch tabs?
[10:33] <llutz> dsandy82: so stupid proprietary driver issue?
[10:33] <stdisease>  lvlint in the profile options?
[10:33] <fodder> wd dsandy82
[10:34] <Lonniebiz> llutz, I need to do it with rsync. The thing I don't understand is, when I back them up, I back them up to a sub folder of a home directory, but when I restore, it is not putting them back where they were (syncing), instead it is copying to another location.
[10:34] <stdisease> lvlint, hmm Edit->Keyboard shortcuts
[10:35] <Hakisho> Hi, has someone got a working sshfs mount through pam_mount (with password or keyfile) in 9.10?
[10:35] <zslashz> hey
[10:35] <dsandy82> llutz, perhaps not...to be honest it was like this and worse when i had the open source ati driver in place...plus I had a big "AMG unsupported hardware" watermark in the bottom
[10:35] <Lonniebiz> llutz, I think I'm figuring out why right now. Thanks.
[10:35] <zslashz> how do i run a .lnl file on ubuntu?
[10:36] <llutz> Lonniebiz: missing / at pathes
[10:36] <stdisease> zslashz, you have got to figure out what applications works on .lnl files first, and then install it
[10:36] <lvlint> thank you stdisease
[10:36] <llutz> dsandy82: i never had any ATI but that sounds .... odd
[10:37] <Lonniebiz> llutz, elaborate just a little. What do you mean by at paths, and what does the / you typed represent? Sorry you have to be so explicit with me.
[10:37] <zslashz> stdisease : i know the files and it targets a server over vpn
[10:37] <zslashz> stdisease : but i cant get it to work as it does under windows
[10:37] <at> my wine doesnt recognize the sound card ... any help ?
[10:38] <stdisease> Lonniebiz, '/' are directory separators on Unix, much like \ on windows
[10:38] <dsandy82> llutz isn't it just?  well lesson learned, black borders and image taking up too much or not enough screen with an HDMI connection might  = scaling options.
[10:38] <llutz> Lonniebiz: if you type "rsync -aux path/ /target/" it will create contents of "path" but not "path". if you use "rsync -aux path target/" it will copy "path/withallcontents"
[10:38] <dsandy82> goodnight, and think you for the help
[10:38] <stdisease> zslashz, what software do you usually use to open '.lnl' files?
[10:38] <shazbotmcnasty> at, wut
[10:38] <shazbotmcnasty> wait nvm
[10:38] <shazbotmcnasty> sleep
[10:39] <Nastya> hi everyone.Where can I disable acpi in ubuntu 9.10?
[10:39] <zslashz> stdisease : its a brokarage program running on top of an oracle platform ..i installed it using crossoverlinux
[10:39] <Lonniebiz> llutz, I did read that before in the man page; thanks for reminding me. I think I'll accomplish what I'm trying with your reminder.
[10:39] <llutz> Lonniebiz: the trailing / makes a big difference
[10:39] <at> shazbotmcnasty, i have Wine application on my ubuntu and its doesnt recognize the sound card
[10:39] <stdisease> zslashz, and it's not functioning correctly with crossover/wine ?
[10:39] <indus> also, generally red or blue in color flat looking ports , say 2 mm thick and 8 mm wide
[10:39] <zslashz> stdisease : it installed successfully...but to operate i have to link the program to the server in another place using the .lnk file
[10:39] <indus> oops late post
[10:40] <indus> Nastya, in grub boot
[10:40] <zslashz> stdisease : could i make a custom launcher on desktop to do that? or doesnt it support wine?
[10:40] <indus> Nastya, for temporary disable, during grub boot press e and enter line acpi=off to kernel line
[10:41] <indus> !grub2
[10:41] <Nastya> indus: Where Can I find grub boot? in 8.10 it was in /boot/grub/menu.lst. But I unable to find this file in 9.10
[10:41] <indus> Nastya, yes hold ill tell you
[10:41] <at> any one can help me with Wine application and sound card ?
[10:42] <F15ch3r> hello
[10:42] <stdisease> zslashz, perhaps I'm not really getting your point, you could try #winehq
[10:43] <F15ch3r> the package of openswan in hardy is buggy and old.. this is what an openswan dev has told me..
[10:43] <skuzzel> hello all
[10:44] <indus> Nastya, /etc/default/grub
[10:44] <krishan> how can we use gtalk in ubuntu?
[10:44] <F15ch3r> hardy support 2.4.x and the latest openswan has released 2.6.x.. where can I find the newest openswan version in ubuntu packages ?
[10:44] <Nastya> indus: thank you
[10:44] <RPG-Master> I'm trying to install the Nvidia 195 drivers but I keep getting this error: "installarchives() failed"
[10:44] <indus> Nastya, no wait
[10:44] <indus> Nastya, i am reading a bit
[10:45] <remoteCTRL1> anyone familiar with freeradius?
[10:45] <skuzzel> hmm a lot of people need help huh
[10:45] <remoteCTRL1> i am getting this nasty "No authenticate method (Auth-Type) configuration found for the request: Rejecting the user" error but i cant seem to figure out why
[10:45] <at> any body here knows about WINE application
[10:46] <Researcher> can any one tell me about web cache proxy other then squid ?
[10:46] <skuzzel> does anyone have experience getting ubuntu to recognize a wireless card
[10:46] <stdisease> at,  possibly, you didn't really ask specifically, also try #winehq
[10:46] <remoteCTRL1> Researcher: polipo
[10:46] <remoteCTRL1> skuzzel: what card is it?
[10:47] <skuzzel> I don't know
[10:47] <skuzzel> the one in my laptop heh
[10:47] <jve> I'm trying to install the daily build of lucid server from a usb stick onto a computer without a harddisk but with a sd-card. But when i come to the partitioning part in the install the sd-card does not show up. Haven't the server install got support for sd-cards?
[10:47] <Researcher> remoteCTRL1 : polipo work as transparent ?
[10:47] <indus> Nastya, grub2 sucks, sorry i coudnt understand it
[10:47] <remoteCTRL1> Researcher: afaik yes
[10:48] <bloodski> is there a keyboard shortcut that can shutdown ubuntu (9.04)?
[10:48] <tunji> hi. i have tried installing nvidia driver on 9.10 but keep getting this message "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/nvidia-glx-190_190.53-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa10_i386.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 2"... can anyone advise... at the moment it is running in low graphics mode.
[10:48] <Nastya> indus: have you known why they moved menu lst to /etc/default?
[10:48] <stdisease> skuzzel, in the default environment, try System->Administration->Hardware Drivers
[10:48] <HardDisk> jve: #ubuntu+1 for beta support
[10:48] <remoteCTRL1> bloodski: not a default one but you can configure a keyboard shortcut in your preferences to execute shutdown
[10:49] <bloodski> remoteCTRL1: care of telling me how, appreciate it if so
[10:49] <indus> Nastya, they didnt move anything, grub2 is all new now, so menu.lst now appears ujnder /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[10:49] <stdisease> If hardware support for your wlan card is possible it will present you with driver options, if not you will have to find out what hardware you have and download/compile the driver for the system
[10:49] <remoteCTRL1> bloodski: gimme a sec
[10:49] <indus> Nastya, open and see
[10:49] <jve> HardDisk: thx i will try there
[10:50] <bloodski> thx remoteCTRL1
[10:51] <tunji> can anyone help me install nvidia drivers?
[10:52] <hateball> !nvidia
[10:52] <stdisease> tunji, be a bit more specific, please
[10:52] <RPG-Master> I'm trying to install the Nvidia 195 drivers but I keep getting this error: "installarchives() failed"
[10:52] <skuzzel> h
[10:52] <skuzzel> hmm
[10:52] <indus> can anyone help me edit the grub.cfg file
[10:52] <HardDisk> tunji, click system/admin/hardware drivers/enable the Nvidia driver you want.
[10:52] <RPG-Master> And now I can't go back to the 180 drivers :(
[10:52] <indus> i need to make changes
[10:52] <remoteCTRL1> bloodski: go to system/preferences/keyboard shortcuts then click on add, name it enter shutdown -h into the command line then click ok, after that highlight the net shortcut in the list by clicking on it and press your keys->done
[10:52] <nmvictor> indus: what about it?
[10:52] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: whats the problem?
[10:52] <tunji> HardDisk: none are listed...
[10:53] <tunji> HardDisk: it says no proprietary drivers found
[10:53] <indus> nmvictor, i want to add line acpi=off to the kernel line
[10:53] <indus> nmvictor, but it says do not edit this file , so what the hell should i edit
[10:53] <skuzzel> Hmm well that didn't seem to work
[10:53] <stdisease> indus, add that to /etc/default/grub and rerun update-grub2
[10:53] <remoteCTRL1> tunji:  what does the command lspci | grep vga return?

[10:56] <remoteCTRL1> !ask | muhku_
[10:56] <skuzzel> I think I have a broadcom wireless card, and I can't get ubuntu to recognize it
[10:56] <stdisease> indus, it's a text file
[10:56] <remoteCTRL1> !es > remoteCTRL1
[10:56] <stdisease> indus, just try and edit it you'll see
[10:57] <morena> qe hableis en español joder

[10:57] <stdisease> morena, no hablemos espanol aqui, try #ubuntu-es :)
[10:57] <morena> hombre uno hablando en espanoñol
[10:57] <littlegreen> RPG-Master where did you get those drivers from?
[10:58] <rww> ubottu: es | morena
[10:58] <morena> hola
[10:58] <indus> stdisease, aah ok there i add acpi=off ok nice
[10:58] <RPG-Master> littlegreen: google "nvidia ppa"
[10:58] <RPG-Master> first link
[10:58] <stdisease> indus, :)
[10:58] <nmvictor> indus: just edit, try to overide the warning at u\your own peril, i had a serious kernel panic that forced me to edit it, now things are good, remember you can always revert your changes if worse gets to worst.Only that for yesterday, the one i was assisting couldnt save the file, alot to do with extra permissions i guess
[10:59] <user23> hi, someone here can help with via chrome 9 drivers ?
[10:59] <skuzzel> Does anyone know how to get ubuntu to recognize a broadcom wireless card?
[10:59] <stdisease> skuzzel, depends what make your card is
[10:59] <stdisease> what model
[10:59] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: ok you got two ways, either you install envy and have it install the driver automatically or you download the driver from nvidia.com and isntall it yourself, its not that hard actually...
[10:59] <indus> stdisease, and to add custom i go to /etc/grub.d/40_custom right?
[10:59] <muhku_> Can anyone help me with my problem? Sounds dont work...
[11:00] <skuzzel> I will try and find out and be back
[11:00] <remoteCTRL1> skuzzel: you might need a fiormware there, what model ist it?
[11:00] <indus> skuzzel, ask ubuntu nicely and pray :) or use the system>admin>harware drivers
[11:00] <stdisease> indus, right, those will be pasted into grub.cfg as is
[11:00] <skuzzel> I tried that indus but it didn't work
[11:00] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: thanks.. i'll try envy
[11:00] <user23> hi, someone here can help with via chrome 9 drivers ?
[11:00] <indus> stdisease, but have to run update grub too always?
[11:00] <littlegreen> RPG-Master I realy wouldn't do that if I were you. Download drivers from nvidia.com or via your Hardware Drivers applet in System > Administration > Hardware Drivers. Drivers in "some webpage" are not reliable.
[11:00] <muhku_> Can anyone help me with my problem? Sounds dont work...
[11:00] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: good luck with it!:)
[11:01] <sambru> NVidia's drivers on their website have worked pretty good for me
[11:01] <stdisease> skuzzel, see if you can dig up something by searching 'apt-cache search broadcom'
[11:01] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: is it envycore i install?
[11:01] <indus> RPG-Master, stop using ppas
[11:01] <littlegreen> RPG-Master what's your NVidia Card?
[11:01] <stdisease> indus, right
[11:01] <indus> oh he left
[11:01] <remoteCTRL1> muhku_: what "does not work" mean, can you specify what you are doing and what the result is?
[11:01] <stdisease> indus, you don't have to if you edit grub.cfg dirrectly though
[11:02] <indus> stdisease, ok thanks a lot, i dont use grub2 but many have questions, so iam now ready to sc*ew their systems
[11:02] <Ox0000> What is the process controlling my webcam? I'm gonna kill it.
[11:02] <stdisease> indus, heh
[11:02] <indus> stdisease, that file is not meant to be edited it says clearly
[11:02] <indus> stdisease, but thats a fake warning i always believed
[11:02] <stdisease> indus, well 'not meant to' means different things for different people, hehe
[11:02] <indus> system wont explode as far as i know
[11:02] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: do sudo apt-cache search envy and sudo apt-get install all the three packages that search returns
[11:03] <indus> stdisease, and the explanation why it should not be edited does not exist :)
[11:03] <skuzzel> stdisease it said to use fwcutter
[11:03] <user23> hi, someone here can help with via chrome 9 drivers ?
[11:03] <indus> user23, via chrome 9 what is it
[11:03] <skuzzel> which I already downloaded and installed and it didn't help
[11:03] <muhku_> I mean that i cant just hear anything... I've tried downlaod drivers but dont get these work....
[11:03] <indus> user23, isnt that driver built into the system
[11:03] <stdisease> indus, for most cases because of automatic regeneration & overwriting your changes
[11:04] <remoteCTRL1> indus: nope that warning is for serious edit the /etc/default/grub filoe instead
[11:04] <grub_problems> hello - I have ubuntu 9.10 installed in windows. Grub no longer loads it, just takes me to grub command prompt.  any ideas?
[11:04] <indus> remoteCTRL1, tell me what happens if i edit
[11:04] <remoteCTRL1> indus: it will be overwritten next time you update your kernel
[11:04] <indus> remoteCTRL1, hmmmmmmmmm
[11:04] <stdisease> grub_problems, ubuntu 9.10 installed in windows? how does that work??
[11:05] <skuzzel> okay I think I have a brcm94311mcg broadcom wireless card, any tips on getting ubuntu to recognize it?
[11:05]  * indus is trying to think how that might affect boot
[11:05] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: SystemError: installArchives() failed
[11:05] <remoteCTRL1> indus: or install anything that installs itself into the kernel and thus executes grub commands after that
[11:05] <user23> indus, no, the buit in driver dosent work well
[11:05] <grub_problems> put the cd in - then it installs as dual boot.
[11:05] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: that's what i get when i try to install the driver
[11:05] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: when doing what?
[11:05] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: hardware drivers
[11:05] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: erm... is that a clean fresh install we are talking about or have you been tinkering alreaqdy?
[11:06] <indus> remoteCTRL1, so lets say it overwrites the cfg when kernel is updated, how will it harm ?
[11:06] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: system/admin/hazrdware drivers
[11:06] <indus> user23, do you have the drivers downloaded?
[11:06] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: i tinkered...
[11:06] <remoteCTRL1> indus: it will not consider the changes you made previously anymore? but i see no point in not editing /etc/default/grub anyways;)
[11:06] <indus> remoteCTRL1, aah i can live with that
[11:07] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: have you already installed anything there?
[11:07] <indus> remoteCTRL1, but thanks anyway :)
[11:07] <user23> indus, yes , installed it, and it gives me blank on startup screen
[11:07] <remoteCTRL1> indus: why wouldnt you edit the proper file? :D
[11:07] <indus> ill change it  again :D remoteCTRL1 edit
[11:07] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: nope, nothing can install... always giving same error
[11:07] <grub_problems> so, how can I start ubuntu from grub command prompt?
[11:07] <AdvoWork> my /opt/ directory is getting full 99%, i keep deleting stuff, but something is writing back to it, i had it down to 95% of a 200G HD, and it keeps going back up. How can i find out whats currently filling it?
[11:07] <indus> remoteCTRL1, iam a bit lazy and i have the menu.lst hangover :D
[11:07] <remoteCTRL1> tunji gimme a sec
[11:07] <tuxx> Hello. The Server-edition installer doesn't support raid as I've understood, hence I need the Alternative-installer. But is the alternative-installer setup with the server-presets, eg. kernel-version etc., all the stuff that makes the server-edition interesting...
[11:08] <indus> grub_problems, you probably cant, try typing continue there
[11:08] <remoteCTRL1> indus: takes like 5 minutes to figure out the basics for grub2;)
[11:08] <skuzzel> okay actually I have a broadcom wireless card,  bcm94311mcg model, any tips getting ubuntu to recognize it?
[11:08] <indus> remoteCTRL1, yes i have understood it now ,thanks to stdisease and you too
[11:08] <LSD|Ninja> skuzzel: remove it and replace it with something that doesn't suck :P
[11:08] <skuzzel> haha
[11:08] <skuzzel> It's a cheap laptop though
[11:08] <sambru> lol @ ninja
[11:08] <indus> user23, blank screen on startiing system?
[11:08] <remoteCTRL1> indus: hehehe you are welcome my freind
[11:09] <skuzzel> and I have a usb card I'm on right now if it comes down to it, I could just stick with it
[11:09] <user23> indus, yes
[11:09] <sambru> could you get a cheap usb wireless card skuzz?
[11:09] <sambru> aha - you already have one! :P
[11:09] <LSD|Ninja> I'm only half joking. Replacing the Broadcom wifi card in my sisters laptop was quite possibly the single best upgrade I ever made to it
[11:09] <indus> user23, due you have a terminal?
[11:09] <grub_problems> but why would it not be loading automatically anymore when i select 'ubuntu'?
[11:09] <stdisease> skuzzel, you have something like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/153683 - my broadcom wlan runs fine though
[11:10] <indus> grub_problems, grub messed up, try live cd to recover
[11:10] <stdisease> skuzzel, google is your friend in any case
[11:10] <skuzzel> yeah I'v come up with stuff for version 7.10
[11:10] <grub_problems> indus: ok, so i boot on live cd, then what?  i am using the same laptop in windows now, can i fix it from here?
[11:10] <indus> iam tired of hardware manufacturers not supporting drivers with linux
[11:11] <LSD|Ninja> skuzzel: If you have network access by some other means then you may be able to get the broadcom working through the restricted drivers manager
[11:11] <indus> grub_problems, how can you fix grub from windows? is this a wubi insrtall?
[11:11] <grub_problems> yes
[11:11] <indus> grub_problems, then forget it, i suggest you reinstall
[11:11] <indus> grub_problems, wubi aint that great
[11:11] <grub_problems> argh...ok
[11:11] <indus> grub_problems, in any case, need the live cd which will boot into ubuntu
[11:12] <indus> windows has notinh to do with it
[11:12] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: what does sudo apt-get -f install return?
[11:12] <indus> grub_problems, but i think its difficult to repair a wubi grub problem
[11:12] <Lantizia1> Would you say (package versioning wise) Hardy is to Lenny, as Dapper is to Etch?
[11:12] <indus> can anyone else suggest
[11:12] <grub_problems> thanks indus, will try live cd.  the last time i was in ubuntu, i mounted windows but did not umount, could that be it?
[11:13] <indus> grub_problems, mounted windows?> how
[11:13] <brainbox> hey guys, anyone here ever been so evil to want to enforce banners on all their virtual hosting users? How would one want to... if they were an evil person
[11:13] <stdisease> grub_problems, boot from the live CD, then invoke grub-install on your HD device
[11:13] <brainbox> lol...
[11:13] <remoteCTRL1> bazhang: hi dude, happen to have experience on freeradius?
[11:13] <indus> heh 'invoke'
[11:13] <grub_problems> mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/win
[11:13] <stdisease> indus, s/he probably means mounted the partition
[11:13] <grub_problems> i mean windows partition
[11:13] <indus> grub_problems, no that wont cause grub issues
[11:13] <remoteCTRL1> brainbox: best ask in #httpd
[11:13] <brainbox> ty
[11:14] <remoteCTRL1> brainbox: np
[11:14] <stdisease> grub_problems, what would cause issues if you tried to install another OS after
[11:14] <indus> grub_problems, use live cd and do a sudo grub-install /dev/device
[11:14] <indus> but iam wondering about the stage1 and steps of grub 1
[11:14] <indus> whats that for grub 2
[11:14] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m9e435d2
[11:15] <_dsl> i have an aging Freesco computer that i'd like to replace with an ubuntu box. It would need to be able to accept incoming dial up connections and run an ftp server. the latter seems straightforward but what would i need to accept connections?
[11:15] <indus> remoteCTRL1, what are the steps to repair grub2
[11:15] <AdvoWork> ive ive got a massive directory, ie 20gb, is there a way I can just quikcly delete this? it takes ages using rm -r
[11:15] <remoteCTRL1> indus: lowl? how would i know what needs fixing?;)
[11:16] <stdisease> _dsl, you need the right hardware and the driver to support it and the software to accept the connections and run the appopriate actions
[11:16] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: that acrtually looks like it fixed it now but there are some lines of the output missing, right?
[11:16] <johntramp> hi. when visiting sites like www.reddit.com my firefox freezes for about 10 seconds or so. anyone know why this is?
[11:16] <skuzzel1> Hey I just wanted to say thanks to lsdninja and std
[11:16] <indus> remoteCTRL1, i mean for exsample grub error 15\
[11:16] <skuzzel1> Third try was the try with the drivers manager
[11:16] <remoteCTRL1> indus: what are you actually trying to accomplish? what does not work?
[11:16] <skuzzel1> or the charm rather
[11:16] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: that's all that was shown ...
[11:17] <remoteCTRL1> indus: and btw sudo apt-get purge grub2 && sudo apt-get install grub is also an option ...  last ressort tho...
[11:17] <indus> remoteCTRL1, i have no problems ,but lets say grub cant find my boot stage
[11:17] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: for my taste that looks like stuck... what happens if you execute exactly the same command again?
[11:17] <indus> user23, hi is this ubuntu 8.04?
[11:18] <user23> indus, ubuntu 9.04
[11:18] <remoteCTRL1> indus: like stage 1.5? in that case thats probably because its not there, just execute grub-install and then update-grub, that should fix it
[11:18] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: same output
[11:19] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: that is really odd...
[11:19] <indus> remoteCTRL1, are you telling me,grub 2 doesnt suffer from the same problems grub 1 had? like erro 15 or error 22 etc
[11:19] <remoteCTRL1> tunji i guess if you restart your computer youll get stuck in a low graphics mode again...
[11:19] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: yes
[11:19] <remoteCTRL1> indus: frankly spoken i have not rehearsed grub error codes;)
[11:19] <_dsl> stdisease: :D it'll be using a zoom modem so drivers etc shouldn't be a problem hopefully. what software would i need installed (some sort of router I guess?)
[11:19] <indus> user23, have you tried googling then got tired and ended up here ?:)
[11:19] <indus> remoteCTRL1, hehe i did
[11:20] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: i think i'll try a fresh install... and won't muck about with third-party repos ;)#
[11:20] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: thanks for all your help
[11:20] <indus> user23, did you compile the via drivers?
[11:20] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: the problem is that your system is "hanging" in some undefined package status, this has as a consequence that not only the graphics driver is not working but als that you cannot install/uninstall anything else...
[11:20] <user23> indus, compile ?
[11:20] <indus> user23, ok do 1 thing, check errors in /var/log/Xorg.log
[11:20] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: if it is a fresh isntall i suggest you just do it once more...
[11:21] <indus> user23, can you paste it , type cat /var/log/Xorg.log
[11:21] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: np:)
[11:21] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: yeah, it was a frsh install... that i then mucked up!
[11:21] <indus> down with grub 2, hail grub 1 :)
[11:21] <stdisease> _dsl, something like ipppd I suppose
[11:21] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: well sh** happens, just install it once more, takes like 20 min;)
[11:21] <remoteCTRL1> indus: rofl
[11:22] <remoteCTRL1> freeradius, anybody PLEASE?
[11:23] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: before i do reinstall... would you advise not to use playdeb.net?
[11:24] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: frankly spoken i have no clue what that is?
[11:24] <user23> indus, u want the log file ?
[11:24] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: ah, ok... it's a third-party repo with games basically... maybe i should just stick to games in the official ubuntu repos...
[11:25] <tunji> remoteCTRL1: anyway... off to reinstall. thanks once again :)
[11:25] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: i dont think that is the issue...
[11:25] <remoteCTRL1> tunji: np and good luck this time!
[11:26] <xguru> has anyone got the blackberry software cd to install in ubuntu?
[11:26] <user23> indus, u want the log file ?

[11:31] <xguru> indus,  maybe a week ago you helped me with my sound muting every time i rebooted.  After i figured it out you went idle before i could say thanks :)  i had to "alsactl store" and then add the "alsactl restore" in the system startup application
[11:32] <indus> xguru, aah hmm
[11:32] <indus> hehe nice
[11:32] <indus> sometimes, people also forget to clean their ears :) that helps sometimes
[11:32] <Lantizia1> Would you say (package versioning wise) Hardy is to Lenny, as Dapper is to Etch?
[11:33] <xguru> :)
[11:33] <indus> user23, hi did you paste?

[11:33] <bloodski> i got this hfs formatted drive that i need to access in ubuntu 9.10, sudo chmod says fs is read-only, is there anyway of changing permissions so i can access some of the dirs on that drive?

[11:34] <xguru> indus, nah not really....i'm currently looking up how to install the Blackberry software in ubuntu.  This way i can create themes and such

[11:35] <Cybert1nus> how can I add a module to my initrd? I've added them in /etc/modules and ran update-initramfs -k all -u, but they still aren't loaded during boot. What am I doing wrong?
[11:36] <avelldiroll> Hello, I remember a website that listed the changelog of the last added packages to the repositories, but I can't find it again ... does this ring a bell to anybody ?
[11:36] <thwapp> Anyone about who might be willing to help figure out a sound issue?
[11:36] <erUSUL> Cybert1nus: /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
[11:36] <tasslehoff> how do I change my username? guess I want to change username, name of home folder accordingly, and all file permissions
[11:36] <erUSUL> tasslehoff: man usermod
[11:37] <stdisease> thwapp, just describe and maaybe someone might be able to assist
[11:37] <stdisease> *maybe
[11:37] <Cybert1nus> erUSUL: ah thnx, that looks like the correct file indeed. Gonna add them there :)
[11:37] <stdisease> although mayybe is more like it...
[11:37] <stdisease> *maaybe even..
[11:37] <Cybert1nus> erUSUL: but Busybox doesn't have an editor, so I need to reboot to a live CD first
[11:37] <bloodski> is there anyway of making a mounte filesystem that's read-only, have read/write permissions? tried forcing it in fstab, but didnt help
[11:38] <erUSUL> bloodski: if the driver does not support rw operaton you can not change that
[11:38] <tasslehoff> erUSUL: yeah. this changes only username, so I guess the rest would have to be done manually. thanks.
[11:38] <user23> indus, the url: http://paste.ubuntu.com/379001/
[11:38] <erUSUL> tasslehoff: true. but you only have to move a directory. easy
[11:39] <erUSUL> tasslehoff: sudo mv /home/olduser /home/newusername
[11:39] <stdisease> tasslehoff, or supply the --home/-d options to usermod
[11:39] <erUSUL> tasslehoff: i would do all of this in recovery mode
[11:39] <stdisease> --home -m
[11:40] <tasslehoff> erUSUL: yeah, and I don't need to change permissions, since my uid is the same?
[11:40] <ben_q> hello, which program can I use to create an iso of a video dvd? diskdump does not remove the copy-protection and the iso is thus not playable on a mediatank :(
[11:40] <stdisease> tasslehoff, rtfm really, 'man usermod'
[11:40] <thwapp> LOL..  Ok..  I'm fairly new to ubuntu...  It took me quite a bit to get the system setup..  running an EVGA 780i SLI Mainboard with an Intel Q9400 proc, 4 gb ram, and an nVidia GeForce GTX 260 Maxcore.  I've somehow managed to get the drivers for everything but the on-board sound card installed and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.  Ubuntu autodetected something, but I have no idea what it's done, or how to even look i
[11:40] <obscurant1st> yesterday i asked here which is the file to be edited for changing the boot menu in grub2
[11:40] <obscurant1st> well it is /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[11:40] <erUSUL> tasslehoff: that's my thinking yes
[11:40] <stdisease> tasslehoff, your uid is supposed to stay the same unless you change it
[11:40] <tasslehoff> stdisease: yep :)
[11:40] <stdisease> -u/--uid
[11:41] <tasslehoff> stdisease: I know. I just wondered if file permissions are okay with the username changing
[11:41] <erUSUL> ben_q: dvd95?
[11:41] <ben_q> dvd95 seems to make the iso's smaller
[11:41] <EvilDennisR> tasslehoff: file permissions should be fine if the username is changing and not the uid
[11:41] <stdisease> tasslehoff, ah totally, as you seem to have figured out
[11:42] <tasslehoff> stdisease: yep :)
[11:42] <tasslehoff> stdisease: EvilDennisR: erUSUL: thanks :)
[11:43] <indus> user23, nice log file :) give me some time to read it
[11:44] <thwapp> Well, either I didn't describe something right, or nobody can help me..  either way, I'm giving up for the night and crashing..  night...
[11:44] <indus> user23, how did you install the driver
[11:45] <Lonniebiz> Using rsync, lets say I back up drives c and d on a windows machine, to and ssh linux server. After this, I decide that I want to restore drive c and d so that they are in sync with the backup. How do I specify the "root" destination with a cygwin path?
[11:45] <indus> user23, also paste for me /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[11:47] <Cybert1nus> erUSUL: I added the needed modules to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and ran update-initramfs -k all -u. The modules still aren't loaded :(
[11:47] <erUSUL> Cybert1nus: then i dunno ...
[11:48] <indus> user23, hello?
[11:48] <Cybert1nus> erUSUL: ok. Thnx though :)
[11:48]  * indus sigh
[11:48] <Lonniebiz> Would i just be /cygdrive/ alone? I don't want to screw anything up.
[11:48] <Cybert1nus> anybody else knows how to add a module to an existing initrd?
[11:48] <erUSUL> Cybert1nus: np
[11:48] <indus> rww, hey
[11:48] <user23> indus, sudo ./vinstall.   i think i just need working drivers, ive searched the net, many have problems with via's cards
[11:49] <EvilDennisR> Lonniebiz: if /cygdrive/ has the same contents as c: -- then yeah
[11:50] <EvilDennisR> Lonniebiz: On your windoze machine, rsync -avz linux:/path/to/c/ /cygdrive/
[11:50] <Lonniebiz> EvilDennisR: No, C would be /cygdrive/C
[11:50] <jiohdi> anyone know how to find screensaver for UNR?
[11:50] <EvilDennisR> Lonniebiz: sure
[11:50] <indus> user23, give me the /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[11:50] <indus> user23, paste
[11:50] <Lonniebiz> EvilDenisR: I want both drive c and d restored.
[11:50] <indus> user23, will have more details
[11:51] <EvilDennisR> Lonniebiz: rsync -avz linux:/path/to/c/ /cygdrive/C/ && rsync -avz linux:/path/to/d/ /cygdrive/D/
[11:51] <administrator_> hello everybody
[11:51] <EvilDennisR> !hi
[11:52] <EvilDennisR> heh, I haven't been in here in like a year and that still works
[11:52] <EvilDennisR> !hi -> administrator_
[11:52] <EvilDennisR> hm..
[11:52] <jarle> is there a script that will be run when X starts no matter if I use KDE/kdm or Gnome/gdm? So far it seems like neither ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession is executed in a standard kubuntu startup?
[11:52] <Lonniebiz> EvilDennisR: I'm trying to avoid having to list all drives, because I won't always know all the drives that were included in the backup, but I want my command to restore all drive included in the backup.
[11:53] <Lonniebiz> EvilDennis: do think having just /cygdrive/ alone will do just that?
[11:53] <EvilDennisR> Lonniebiz: So if linux:/path/to/ contains directories C/ and D/, then you could do rsync linux:/path/to/ /cygdrive/
[11:54] <Lonniebiz> EvilDennisR: Cool; thanks.

[11:55] <EvilDennisR> Juanma: wtf
[11:55] <EvilDennisR> /kick Juanma
[11:57] <LSD|Ninja> Lantizia1: How smooth was the transition from 6.06 -> 8.04? Expect that.
[11:57] <EvilDennisR> Lantizia1: IMHO, I always put /home/ on its own partition, and leave like ~5G or so for / -- That way I can just do a fresh install when new LTS releases come out -- The upgrades never have gone smooth for me =)

[12:00] <suigeneris> what does You can update your system with unsupported packages from this untrusted PPA by adding ppa:loell/ppa  to your system's Software Sources. mean?
[12:01] <EvilDennisR> suigeneris: It adds a repository to /etc/apt/sources.list that are non-ubuntu packages
[12:01] <indus> administrator_what do you want
[12:01] <indus> suigeneris, loell is generally a trusted guy
[12:02] <Sensiva> Hello, How can I get the total received and total transmitted of network interface? something other than /proc/net/dev
[12:02] <suigeneris> EvilDennisR, do I type that exact line?
[12:02] <indus> suigeneris, but its not officially supported ,neither is ubuntu responsible for any problems as a result of installing the ppa/software from the ppa
[12:02] <suigeneris> indus, do I type that exact line?
[12:03] <indus> suigeneris, what do you want to do?
[12:03] <psycho_oreos> Sensiva, what only monitoring standalone and not using GUI?
[12:03] <EvilDennisR> suigeneris: uh, what exact line?
[12:03] <indus> suigeneris, is this the gyachi messenger ppa?
[12:03] <kjelle> In dpkg when you do 'dpkg -l', what does ii, rc and iHR stand for?

[12:03] <suigeneris> indus, make my webcam work
[12:03] <psycho_oreos> Sensiva, hmm not sure to be honest
[12:04] <indus> suigeneris, what is this ppa about?
[12:04] <indus> suigeneris, how did you find it
[12:04] <indus> suigeneris, anyways
[12:04] <suigeneris> indus, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1128335
[12:04] <psycho_oreos> Sensiva, I know in GUi you can get things like gkrellm, and over network with ntop for example
[12:04] <indus> suigeneris, yes just add the line ppa:loell/ppa
[12:04] <EvilDennisR> kjelle: ii means installed, rc means removed, and I forget what ihr means, maybe remove --purge ?
[12:05] <EvilDennisR> kjelle: I'd double check with my input though =)
[12:05] <Lantizia1> Hey I made a user when Ubuntu installed... how can I remove that user from having sudo rightS?
[12:05] <Lantizia1> is it just change the group it is in?
[12:06] <indus> Lantizia1, go to system>admin>users and groups
[12:06] <kjelle> EvilDennisR: okey, ty
[12:06] <jrib> Lantizia1: remove him from the admin group, but make sure you have at least one user who can sudo...
[12:06] <EvilDennisR> Lantizia1: ..or visudo
[12:06] <Reverendo> hi all, I've got a server at ovh.com with ubuntu 9.1 and ovh's monolitic kernel installed over a software raid, /boot is inside the raid. I'm trying to change this kernel by official ubuntu kernel. I installed linux-server and grub2 but when I reboot the server I've got a kernel panic. I search forums, etc, and I get no solution. Can someone help me with this issue?
[12:06] <indus> suigeneris, test your webcam with cheese, sudo apt-get install cheese
[12:06] <EvilDennisR> Reverendo: whats the kernel panic sez
[12:07] <Lantizia1> jrib: ok so just edit /etc/group ?  I have given root a password instead
[12:07] <EvilDennisR> Reverendo: can't find root or something?
[12:07] <Lantizia1> indus: not using a gui
[12:07] <jrib> Lantizia1: ugh, why did you give root a password?  It's completely unnecessary
[12:07] <Reverendo> EvilDennisR, tech people at ovh didn't give it to me, :-(
[12:07] <psycho_oreos> Sensiva, another thing comes to mind, is if you want to try some ncurses based apps for checking network stats is some of the ipcop binary addons.. not that you need to download them but there's mentioning of the names of various programs in which you can try and see what network tool out of that listing suits you
[12:07] <indus> no one on irc says hi these days
[12:08] <Lantizia1> EvilDennisR: that doesn't show my user - only that those in admin group have those rights
[12:08] <jrib> !root > Lantizia1
[12:08] <Lantizia1> jrib: because I did - get over it
[12:08] <EvilDennisR> Lantizia1: visudo -- remove the line that says %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL if you're going to use root as root
[12:08] <Sensiva> psycho_oreos I guess that would be too much for me :D
[12:08] <jrib> Lantizia1: I'm giving you information, so you can understand why it's not that way by default
[12:08] <Reverendo> It's like if kernel can start from /dev/md1
[12:08] <EvilDennisR> Lantizia1: or delgroup user admin
[12:08] <Lantizia1> EvilDennisR: but equally I could just take it out of the admin group - and be as safe?
[12:08] <Drechana> hi all, would anyone know a decent, easy to use, peice of software that I can use for a 8 bay multiwriter...its very old, runs on scsi and is made by TEAC

[12:08] <indus> !test
[12:08] <EvilDennisR> Lantizia1: correct.
[12:09] <Lantizia1> jrib: sorry but my mind is made up :P

[12:10] <Cybert1nus> how can I add a module to my initrd?
[12:10] <vishu> any help?
[12:10] <EvilDennisR> Reverendo: well it should be something like root (hd#,#)
[12:10] <Sensiva> psycho_oreos I don't think I understand you very well, all I need is to get total Rx and Tx in terminal , for a bash script I am doing
[12:10] <EvilDennisR> Reverendo: kernel /boot/vmlin-whatever root=/dev/mdsomething
[12:11] <psycho_oreos> Sensiva, ahh you're making a bash script, what about the output from ifconfig?
[12:11] <EvilDennisR> Reverendo: erm, root (md#,#) I mean (been a while since I've done software raid)
[12:11] <Cybert1nus> Sensiva: ifconfig | head -n 7 | tail -n 1 (I'm not to sure about the 7 though)
[12:11] <JoshuaL> Sensiva, did you know my company is named Sensiva? :P
[12:11] <Sensiva> psycho_oreos I will try that
[12:12] <Reverendo> ok, thanks, I'm going to try it

[12:15] <ionut> hi.i have an template (with more than 10-15 pages) , and there are parts of it that i don't want to modify,i want them to remain like that. but there are also parts like page title , breadcrumbs, site's name...that i want to modify them.so in order to avoid errors , i've been thinking to create a form ( that a user can modify itself the : title ,etc) and once he finish to save them  (they will be saved into a database) . is it a good idea ?
[12:16] <AzikaCorp> vishu: you mean yes ?
[12:16] <indus> nibbler, iam talking about ,plug devices and note changes
[12:16] <nibbler> vishu, i'd say the fs is broken, copy your files, reformat
[12:16] <indus> so for tat its better
[12:16] <vishu> i checked if its working or not
[12:16] <Albi> hello world

[12:17] <suigeneris> indus, 9.10
[12:17] <indus> suigeneris, skype version?
[12:17] <nibbler> vishu, ẃell, maybe the media is not too good anymore, or just a random eror in the fat
[12:18] <indus> suigeneris, when you press test button in skype , what do u see
[12:18] <vishu> no solution for it?
[12:18] <suigeneris> indus, <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:18] <AzikaCorp> vishu: sometimes, this probleme comes when you unplugged a card from windows
[12:18] <vishu> i havent windows only after i messes with auto mount options in GUI
[12:19] <indus> suigeneris, please this one http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/
[12:19] <koltroll> I'm having trouble with the sound. It worked just fine for a while, then it started to play things and dubble speed and now when I listen at things it sounds.. really strange. Like the sounds is very very far away.
[12:19] <suigeneris> aha now I see that skype can find it. weird, it didn't find yesterday
[12:20] <xguru> is there a firefox addon that remembers your place on the page.  Example:  I scroll down the page halfway then click a link and when i hit the back arrow firefox loads previous page halfway down instead of at the top again?
[12:20] <koltroll> I have tried to restart alsa. I guess restarting the computer would fix it, but I don't feel that should be necessary :)
[12:20] <indus> suigeneris, ok good, anyways try the new skype
[12:20] <nibbler> vishu, i'd say its not about options, i'd say the fs is broken. use fat-tools to fix, or just reformat after backing up
[12:20] <Albi> xguru, ff should do that automatically
[12:20] <indus> suigeneris, anyways, what was thaat ppa for? gyachi?
[12:21] <suigeneris> indus, I think so
[12:21] <vishu> i am a new bie
[12:21] <xguru> Albi, i thought so, but it doesn't a good example is facebook.  or nytimes.com
[12:21] <Cybert1nus> how can I add a kernelmodule to my initrd?
[12:21] <indus> suigeneris, think so? if oyu are not sure, why did you instal the ppa?
[12:21] <vishu> until today it said wrong mount options unable to mount...
[12:21] <Albi> xguru, fb is a messed up peice of rubbish, and probably doesnt do it on there because of all the dodgey javascripting
[12:21] <suigeneris> indus, when I press the test button, I get a green screen with noise on it
[12:21] <vishu> i cracked something and it says can't mount file
[12:21] <suigeneris> indus, I didn't install it
[12:22] <Sensiva> psycho_oreos thank you I got it
[12:22] <indus> suigeneris, yes thats good
[12:22] <AzikaCorp> vishu: how do you mount it ?
[12:22] <Sensiva> Cybert1nus thank you, head is such a nifty tool
[12:22] <suigeneris> indus, that's good how?
[12:22] <indus> suigeneris, so download new skype and try, its a problem with v4l2
[12:22] <vishu>  mount -o rw /dev/sdb1 ~/Desktop/base3
[12:22] <suigeneris> okay indus thanks a lot
[12:22] <Cybert1nus> Sensiva: yw :)
[12:22] <holaa> Hola
[12:23] <Nastya> holaa: Hi
[12:23] <xguru> Albi, thanks for the info.  Your right.  Google searches open to where i left of.  Must be those two sites i noticed it on
[12:23] <holaa> Speak Spanish?
[12:23] <LordHawke13> Is there anyway I can enclose each LINE of output from `$ find <DIR>` in double-quotes? I need to put them through `$ stat -c%s <OUTPUT>` but stat won't do spaces unless the item is enclosed in parentheses.
[12:23] <koltroll> Any help on how I could bugtest the sound issue would be appreciated!
[12:23] <rww> !es | holaa
[12:23] <Albi> xguru, sweet as, it's always facebooks fault
[12:23]  * xguru nods
[12:23] <holaa> Spthanks
[12:23] <vishu> AzikaCorp, ?
[12:23] <elisa87> hi everybody
[12:23] <holaa> gracias
[12:24] <Albi> k bros, i think i found what i was lookin for maself ;) haha
[12:24] <indus> suigeneris,64 bit  system?
[12:25] <vishu> is there a way to make a readonly device writable?
[12:25] <suigeneris> 32
[12:25] <indus> suigeneris, start skype with this command LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
[12:25] <LordHawke13> I tried `$ for SIZES in `find <DIR>`; do stat -c%s "${SIZES}"; done` but for processes for each word and not each line.
[12:25] <indus> suigeneris, the above command will solve the gree nvideo issue
[12:25] <indus> suigeneris, try it
[12:26] <indus> suigeneris, or download the newer skype version
[12:26] <koltroll> I found some good reading on the ubuntu wiki, and have now installed backports! So I'll do a restart and try again! laters!
[12:27] <Dr_Willis> vishu:  depends on why its read only to begin with
[12:27] <suigeneris> indus, when I install the newest version, I will not have the green screen problem anymore without that command?
[12:27] <vishu> man how much time it takes for me to fix these things myself?
[12:28] <LordHawke13> Dr_Willis, you're here!! Can you help me?
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> LordHawke13:  depends on the problem.
[12:28] <vishu> sowmya_, where are you from?
[12:28] <LordHawke13> Dr_Willis, Is there anyway I can enclose each LINE of output from `$ find <DIR>` in double-quotes? I need to put them through `$ stat -c%s <OUTPUT>` but stat won't do spaces unless the item is enclosed in parentheses.
[12:29] <LordHawke13> Dr_Willis, I tried `$ for SIZES in `find <DIR>`; do stat -c%s "${SIZES}"; done` but for processes for each word and not each line.
[12:29] <nerea> i dont spik ingles
[12:29] <vishu> sowmya_, A.P?
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> that means very little to me.    i tend to scripts not complex single line commands.
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> LordHawke13:  im not clear on what the actual probl3m is.
[12:30] <egoleo> hello
[12:30] <egoleo> hello is there a way for me to know the last personn who accessed my linux and what he was doing on it?
[12:30] <suigeneris> indus, now I get a black screen :S
[12:30] <EvilDennisR> egoleo: last
[12:30] <vishu> i think there is a way to get last login times
[12:30] <LordHawke13> Dr_Willis stat won't stat anything with a space in it's name or full path.
[12:30] <alver_> Does anyone know how to disable the internal WiFi card in a notebook? This means not just stopping transmission of signals?
[12:30] <egoleo> thnx
[12:31] <EvilDennisR> egoleo: what he was doing, not so much, you could check his ~/.bash_history
[12:31] <EvilDennisR> vishu: same deal, `last`
[12:31] <LordHawke13> Dr_Willis, So I need to enclose the output in double-quotes.
[12:31] <egoleo> ok thnx
[12:31] <egoleo> but how do i know
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> LordHawke13:   to handle spaces in filenames/paths you need to tack on quotes normally single quotes mey be better then double quotes
[12:31] <egoleo> is the last dos the top ones
[12:31] <EvilDennisR> alver_: ..use the wifi on/off switch physically on the netbook?
[12:31] <Slart> LordHawke13: pipe it to    sed 's/.*/"&"/g'
[12:31] <LordHawke13> Dr_Willis, It's for a script. Each ";" would be a line return, but this is how it's written in the BASH history.
[12:32] <EvilDennisR> egoleo: open a terminal, type last
[12:32] <egoleo> done that
[12:32] <vishu> u get all of it
[12:32] <EvilDennisR> ..ok, and?
[12:32] <LordHawke13> OH MY GOD IT WORKED!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! FIRE AWAY UBOTTU
[12:33] <EvilDennisR> theres also w and who that will tell you who is currently logged in
[12:33] <lorenzo> ciao
[12:33] <egoleo> ok cool
[12:33] <lorenzo> itali?
[12:33] <egoleo> ok got it
[12:33] <egoleo> thnx
[12:33] <rww> !it | lorenzo
[12:34] <alver_> Hello EvilDennisR, It is a notebook (an ageing Toshiba Satellite to be precise), not a netbook. I do not see an external switch for my card.
[12:34] <lekefly> Is there a way to automate downloading of new series from a RSS feed and have trasmission figure out witch folder to download it to?
[12:34] <lorenzo> ok grazie
[12:34] <AzikaCorp> alver_: do you see any wireless card whae you type 'ifconfig'
[12:35] <koltroll> Hm, no. Installing backports and restarting didn't help. Still no sound.
[12:35] <EvilDennisR> alver_: ah, I thought you said netbook. Right clicking on network manager and unchecking wireless doesn't do it?
[12:36] <skuzzel> software center says that I have to waiting for other software managers when I don't have any open
[12:37] <skuzzel> have to wait*
[12:37] <alver_> Hello AzikaCorp, it says" UP Broadcom etc.". I know I have a Broadcom wifi card.
[12:38] <AzikaCorp> alver_: ok. and what is exactlu the problem ?
[12:38] <makadark> hola
[12:38] <AzikaCorp> makadark: hello
[12:39] <makadark> hello
[12:39] <skuzzel> My software center is stuck saying that I have to wait for other software managers to quit when I don't have any open... any tips?
[12:39] <suigeneris> indus, are you there?
[12:40] <alver_> I want to add extra memory (the notebook only has 256 MB RAM) and the manual tells me to temporarily disable the wifi card and remove the battery before I start adding additional memory. Hence my question.
[12:40] <indus> suigeneris, yes
[12:41] <Florencio> hi
[12:41] <tuntun> HAS THIS PAGE BEEN HIJACKED !? http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ideas_in_preparation/  AFTER A FEW SECONDS IT IS REDIRECTING TO http://www.ukr.net/
[12:41] <genny75> ciao a tutti
[12:41] <suigeneris> indus, I get black screen without LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so, should I write that in .bashrc or something?
[12:42] <suigeneris> indus, it works like a charm with that
[12:42] <indus> suigeneris, did you try the new skype
[12:42] <mawst> Besides restarting Xorg, is there anything that needs to be done to make it load xorg.conf again?
[12:43] <suigeneris> indus, I get black screen in the new one
[12:43] <indus> do one thing, in a terminal type gstreamer-properties and under video set it to v4l1
[12:44] <tuntun> Anyone?
[12:44] <indus> tuntun, for what
[12:44] <indus> tuntun, what is the problem
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> tuntun:  i  cant evn find a link to that URL you gave - the main page points to   http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/ideas_in_development/
[12:45] <bazhang> tuntun, nice catch
[12:45] <suigeneris> indus, I have v4l and v4l2

[12:47] <suigeneris> indus, I still get black screen
[12:47] <indus> hijacked indeed
[12:47] <alver_> Hello AzikaCorp, anymore good ideas?
[12:47] <indus> suigeneris, then i guess, use the ld preload line i gave you
[12:47] <indus> suigeneris, dont know any other way
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> I have to wonder how ideas in development differ from ideas in preparation.. 'im planning on planing on thinking of an idea?'
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> :)
[12:48] <indus> tuntun, mail to webmaster i guess
[12:48] <koltroll> Anyone have any idea on how I can figure out what's wrong with my sound?
[12:49] <koltroll> It did work perfectly for a while, I might add
[12:49] <lorenzo> ma chè unaltro sito dv si parla ita ltre a #ubuntu.it?

[13:30] <INV4D5R> valeu
[13:30] <con-man> seriously, why is it so hard to get rid of a defunct process
[13:30] <IP-v6> hello
[13:30] <IP-v6> how can i install suggested packages by apt-get ? Does install parameter install packages with suggested packages?
[13:30] <pedro3005> con-man, kill dash nine it
[13:30] <adambuntu> IP-v6, use sudo apt-get install
[13:31] <con-man> pedro3005,  been there done that
[13:31] <BluesKaj> howdy
[13:31] <pedro3005> con-man, so get manly and erase it's PID folder on /proc ? actually i don't know if that'd do anything i'm just here babbling stupidness
[13:32] <PingFloyd> you can't kill a defunct process because it is already dead
[13:32] <PingFloyd> init will eventually reap it and free up its process entry
[13:32] <con-man> then how do I Get it off my monitor
[13:33] <con-man> its dead, on my monitor
[13:33] <pedro3005> con-man, idk, restart X
[13:33] <PingFloyd> if you want to clear it from the process table sooner, you can kill it's current parent
[13:33] <con-man> wtb task manager with end process button
[13:33] <jackbrown> adambuntu i need to compile the driver anyway i'm trying this solution sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libusb-dev build-essential gcc automake mercurial
[13:33] <jackbrown> hg clone http://bitbucket.org/ahixon/r5u87x/
[13:33] <jackbrown> cd r5u87x
[13:33] <jackbrown> make

[13:33] <jackbrown> thanks for your help
[13:33] <PingFloyd> but they're nothing to even be concerned about
[13:33] <vivek> indus, do u give the links of the projetcs in ubuntu site?
[13:33] <IP-v6> adambuntu, sudo apt-get install enough for suggested packages ?
[13:33] <PingFloyd> have many of them of them can be an indication of a bigger issue though
[13:33] <con-man> PingFloyd, they are when the process is stuck on your screen
[13:34] <lorenzo_> ubuntu italy??
[13:35] <BluesKaj> !it
[13:35] <PingFloyd> con-man: I don't know what you mean by stuck on your screen
[13:36] <PingFloyd> something being stuck on the screen doesn't like anything to do with zombie processes

[13:42] <MenZa> os_: Setup a Samba share, store them there?
[13:42] <suvir> for audiobooks and videos you could try BMC

[13:42] <itai> hi, can anyone help me with a flash problem? i lost flash playing ability after last night's update, firefox still cliams flashplayer is installed but i cant play any media
[13:43] <j2daosh> anyone have a link to a ascii to hexidemical converter? i need to figure out what a - is in hex form. I found a converter but it says it is '2d' i need it in whatever format a 0x000000 is
[13:43] <j2daosh> maybe that means 0x00002d?
[13:44] <suvir> @itai, type about:plugins in firefox
[13:44] <os_> about the digital library I want them to be web enabled and a sort isn't there any like this on the world
[13:44] <suvir> check version of installed flash
[13:44] <Pici> j2daosh: man ascii
[13:44] <nmvictor> anyone know how i could unlock my GSM modem in ubuntu?
[13:44] <suvir> (if any)
[13:44] <klappi> j2daosh: printf
[13:45] <toni_> c.gr
[13:45] <suvir> the best solution is to install only the adobe flash plugin in synaptic
[13:45] <itai> suvir - i see VLC media that can play flv is that it?
[13:45] <suvir> no
[13:45] <suvir> itai - is the adobe plugin in synaptic installed?
[13:45] <j2daosh> ok so its 2d, so would it be 0x00002d?
[13:46] <itai> it must be cause i had flash till yesterday, let me check
[13:46] <cyberoidx> so I did some magic while killing "Wammu" using the system monitor, and now the pc has "hung". Any suggestions?
[13:46]  * Outface Merhaba..
[13:46] <j2daosh> cyber, reboot?
[13:46] <cyberoidx> I thought linux never crashed!
[13:46] <itai> suvir is it adobe-glashplugi or flash_plugin
[13:47] <suvir> itai - i had a similar problem b4, seemed to beb due to some conflict between libswfdec and some other flash plugin
[13:47] <j2daosh> when you break it, it will
[13:47] <j2daosh> :P
[13:47] <cyberoidx> how do I get to the terminal?
[13:47] <suvir> itai : adobe-flashplugin
[13:47] <cyberoidx> so I can say kill X and start it again j2daosh
[13:47] <itai> suvir -that is not installed
[13:47] <itai> strange
[13:47] <Guest99615> help now install last java version ? for ubuntu 9.10
[13:48] <j2daosh> ctrl+alt+f1
[13:48] <suvir> 1) Remove libswfdec 2) install adobe-flashplugin
[13:48] <cyberoidx> ok thats not working
[13:48] <suvir> should work tht way
[13:48] <cyberoidx> so I did manage to crash linux
[13:48] <j2daosh> then you have to hit the reset button
[13:48] <j2daosh> cyber, its not hard to crash it
[13:49] <jairomaciel> #macapa
[13:49] <itai> suvir "Couldn't find package "libswfdec".  However, the following
[13:49] <itai> packages contain "libswfdec" in their name:
[13:49] <itai> "
[13:49] <suvir> @ cyberoidx , why hit reset? try ctrl + alt + f1
[13:49] <suvir> then restart gdm
[13:49] <cyberoidx> didn't work suvir
[13:49] <cyberoidx> ctrl alt f1 was not responsive
[13:49] <j2daosh> suvir: your coming in half convo, we just tried that
[13:50] <j2daosh> his gui is hung, and he cant access terminals... hence the reboot
[13:50] <suvir> @cyberoidx, u tried "/etc/init.d/gdm restart" right?
[13:50] <j2daosh> unless he can manage to ssh in from a different system
[13:50] <j2daosh> suvir: there is no terminal
[13:51] <suvir> @j2daosh, 1) login with user name 2) enter commands as usual
[13:51] <sobeo3browniz> Hi\
[13:51] <suvir> @j2daosh : its a way to start a terminal basically
[13:51] <j2daosh> .... read the conversation up till the point you jumped in
[13:52] <j2daosh> the gui is hung, cant switch to terminal on f1 - f6 screens
[13:52] <suvir> @j2daosh : sorry my bad ..lemme have a look...sorry again
[13:52] <cyberoidx> suvir, I killed an app using System Monitor, everything froze, and ctrl alt F1 didn't work
[13:52] <remoteCTRL1> anybody familiar with freeradius?
[13:52] <indus> j2daosh, kill the gui with alt sysrq K
[13:52] <suvir> @cyberoidx : my bad mate! guess the best way outta that IS the reset button
[13:52] <suvir> :)
[13:53] <suvir> ummm....
[13:53] <cyberoidx> So I did crash linux you say suvir ?
[13:53] <j2daosh> cyber, try what indus said
[13:53] <j2daosh> i doubt it will help, but maybe killing the gui will kill the hung app
[13:53] <suvir> i remember reading this : the safest way to restart the is alt + sysreq + [RSEIUB] -- in that order
[13:54] <suvir> silly mnemonic : S=Raising skinny elephants is utterly boring
[13:54] <phpmonk> any disclaimer format to show before cyber security training?
[13:54] <cyberoidx> indus, sysrq? PrintScr?
[13:54] <phpmonk> i don;t want to be Randal
[13:55] <j2daosh> lol php
[13:55] <j2daosh> i would imagine as long as you have permission from the owners you should be fine
[13:55] <indus> CyberSix, sysRq
[13:56] <phpmonk> j2daosh, yes i have email about the contents
[13:56] <j2daosh> yes cyber, the print screen button, but the alt function of the print screen button
[13:56] <indus> cyberoidx, sysrq, i am talking about killing the X server or restarting it with that key combo
[13:56] <cyberoidx> found it indus
[13:56] <indus> cyberoidx, oops yes both are same
[13:56] <indus> cyberoidx, so Alt - SysRq -K
[13:57] <suvir> @ indus , its safer to use [r-s-e-i-u-b] instead of just 'k'
[13:57] <j2daosh> php, well if the owner of said server/application said you can, then go for it. if you are worried, you can always notify the server/application controllers letting them know its about to happen
[13:57] <Myrtti> !tab | j2daosh
[13:58] <cyberoidx> lol Myrtti
[13:58] <phpmonk> j2daosh, ya but it will be better if i could get a disclaimer slide to show before training starts
[13:58] <Myrtti> j2daosh: it helps ;-)
[13:58] <j2daosh> Myrtti: yeah i know about tab completion. but since there is only one 'php' in here, its fine
[13:58] <Myrtti> j2daosh: hilights, you know. complete nickname triggers hilights
[13:59] <j2daosh> wait, your conducting the training?
[13:59] <cyberoidx> j2daosh, some clients highlight :D
[13:59] <phpmonk> j2daosh, yes
[13:59] <cyberoidx> phpmonk, what trainnig?
[13:59] <cyberoidx> when?
[13:59] <j2daosh> myrtti, im using chatzilla, doesn't highlight for me. :), but ill tab it
[13:59] <phpmonk> cyberoidx, j2daosh, Linux security
[14:00] <cyberoidx> when / where? ;)
[14:00] <j2daosh> phpmonk: i would give google a shot. just look for 'general security disclaimer' or even 'general disclaimer'
[14:00] <ninja_> jaja
[14:00] <j2daosh> im sure one of those will give you a disclaimer template
[14:01] <Pici> phpmonk: ##security would be a more appropriate channel to ask in.  #ubuntu is for strictly Ubuntu support :)
[14:01] <cyberoidx> or just steal it from a FOSS presentation
[14:01] <cyberoidx> phpmonk, where's the training?
[14:01] <ninja_> hhh
[14:01] <phpmonk> cyberoidx, at a client :)
[14:01] <ninja_> no
[14:01] <phpmonk> Pici, yes i will ask there
[14:02] <j2daosh> or, you could just say 'This is for educational purposes. I can not be held accountable for any damages caused legally or illegally but anyone attending this training'
