[00:00] <_r00t_> anthalamus: sshfs ?
[00:01] <warrior__> the version of wubi is optimal or for 64 bit that for 32 bit?
[00:01] <mdel> _r00t_: i would just use vim, but I really like sublime :)
[00:01] <mdel> i like the filebrowser... sick of nerdtree
[00:04] <_r00t_> mdel yup.... I use the same method to tunnel to all my nix machines... It's great to see synaptic tunnel back to my windows machine :)
[00:06] <scottj> does deleting files off a second drive move them to the main drive in order to put them in the trash?
[00:06] <Orcris> Is it possible to increase the size of the persistance file on a live USB?
[00:06] <anthropos> yes you do it when you make the usb disk
[00:06] <anthropos> or do you mean after the fact?
[00:06] <Orcris> I mean after I make it.
[00:07] <wiseguy12851> i need help, my apache2 server no longer starts
[00:07] <anthropos> Orcris: i don't know, but surely it's not that hard just to remake it
[00:07] <phpN00b> wiseguy12851, look at the logs
[00:07] <phpN00b> wiseguy12851, what is the error message?
[00:07] <jrib> wiseguy12851: you should provide details.  Did it ever start?  What has changed since then?  What exactly happens now?
[00:08] <wiseguy12851> it says unable to open logs
[00:08] <wiseguy12851> couldn ot open log
[00:09] <phpN00b> wiseguy12851, probably a permission problem
[00:09] <wiseguy12851> thnx, I have an idea
[00:09] <phpN00b> wiseguy12851, check the permissions of the logs
[00:09] <wiseguy12851> I have a custom site setup and I changed directories around forgetting to update the new lof file location
[00:11] <wiseguy12851> thnx, restated fine now
[00:11] <mdel> _r00t_: ever try sshfs?
[00:11] <waxstone> _r00t_, No trash enters hidden folder on same drive but trash from all drives show in trash bin

[00:22] <pyr0> what kind of video card do you have?
[00:22] <ubntu1> an amd and intel
[00:22] <ubntu1> i ahve a laptop with the whole catalyst control bs with chaneable graphics cards
[00:23] <pyr0> i think catalyst is an ATI thing, have you tried their website for a linux driver?
[00:23] <ubntu1> yeah
[00:24] <ubntu1> i download the latest one and the install says i have to uninstall my previous installation but i dont have any installed
[00:24] <ubntu1> and the intel website auto driver detector just gives me errors and cant find my drivers
[00:24] <sheenzz> my pc wont updated
[00:25] <ubntu1> when i go to system settings and go to additional driver the ATI/AMD proprietary drivers FGLRX appears but when i click acticate i get an error
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> ubntu1: what video chip are you using?
[00:25] <ubntu1> idk
[00:25] <ubntu1> how do i check

[00:27] <dlentz> i hate how jockey/Additional Drivers tricks hybrid graphics users into thinking they should install proprietary drivers (and then they end up with no X)
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> ubntu1: oh, that switchable video chip stuff?
[00:31] <ubntu1> yeah
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> ubntu1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
[00:31] <boxbeatsy> hi, i'm very confused.  why would the same version of whois (5.0.11) return different information on ubuntu 10.04 and 11?
[00:32] <sheenzz> hey
[00:32] <dlentz> you should remove every trace of Catalyst/fglrx and just be happy that your intel card works
[00:32] <sheenzz> chromium slows down me pc
[00:32] <sheenzz> *my
[00:33]  * dlentz thought sheenzz was irish for a second
[00:33] <dlentz> sheenzz, just when it's running?
[00:33] <ubntu1> ActionParsnip: so uhh, what exactly do i do with that? heh. im a complete linux-tard
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> ubntu1: hybrid graphics are a pain in Linux
[00:34] <dlentz> ubntu1, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/FglrxInteferesWithRadeonDriver#Problem:__Need_to_fully_remove_-fglrx_and_reinstall_-ati_from_scratch
[00:34] <dlentz> oh, and remember to delete/move your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[00:35] <ubntu1> what?
[00:35] <ubntu1> lol
[00:35] <dlentz> run the commands in the link and then: sudo mv/etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.bak
[00:35] <pyr0> anyone know of a good audio recorder that will only record when it detects sound?
[00:38] <Fudge> trying to install a lucid to usb but the usb does not boot, machines is usb bootable and the usb is bootable in gparted, is it true that fat32 should be used or can i continue with ext4
[00:38] <matt2000> Anyone know how to set-up LXC containers with a static IP address, allowing two external network access?
[00:41] <dlentz> Fudge, try it with FAT, and if it works, then you know why the usb wouldn't boot..
[00:43] <ubntu1> dlentz: i got this libgl1-mesa-dri					install
[00:43] <ubntu1> libgl1-mesa-glx					install

[00:45] <zhxk> hello, how to install fsck.ntfs
[00:49] <newnick> ubuntu minimal on virtualbox no can do ?
[00:49] <hank__> hi
[00:49] <Num83rGuy> I set up KDE's file sharing (samba) But the windows machene asks for user and pass when I put mine in it says fail.
[00:50] <compdoc> Num83rGuy, which version of windows?
[00:50] <Num83rGuy> 7
[00:50] <compdoc> I think you have to modify the registry on the win7 machne
[00:51] <Num83rGuy> Really? Got a URL?
[00:51] <hank__> No I believe Win7 has a GUI option in network and sharing center
[00:51] <thesheff17> yea you should have to modify the registry...that is the point of samba the smb protocol.
[00:51] <hank__> which determines if only homegroup users or everyone with an account can login
[00:51] <thesheff17> *should not
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> zhxk: I believe itsin ntfsprogs
[00:52] <compdoc> Num83rGuy, hmmm, sorry, its a security policy setting
[00:52] <hank__> btw how is it hangin' with Unity UI? being in KDEland all time
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> Num83rGuy: run:  sudo smbpasswd -a $USER   you can then log on as your user with the password you set
[00:53] <zhxk> well, dpkg was interrupt
[00:53] <compdoc> Num83rGuy, this is one site:    http://yonitg.com/solution-for-windows-7-samba-connection-problem/
[00:53] <Num83rGuy> Should the  $USER part be my user name or left as is?
[00:54] <compdoc> LM and NTLM – use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated
[00:54] <SolarisBoy> it should result in your username
[00:54] <SolarisBoy> its an environment variable
[00:54] <Num83rGuy> Ah, OK thanks.
[00:55] <compdoc> I had to do that to get my win7 machine to log in
[00:55] <eph3meral> anyone know much about how ubuntu and specifically xfce and or the display manager (gdm?) handles sound muting and unmuting? when I log in to ubuntu the sound icon in the top right of my screen says my sound is muted, which it is, until I plug in my headphones
[00:55] <eph3meral> moral of the story
[00:56] <eph3meral> is I get no sound out of my speakers, except, I have to make sure that on first login on boot, I make sure to "unmute" my sound before I log in
[00:56] <compdoc> this is another site:   http://ethanwolkowicz.net/wiki/index.php/Map_samba_share_in_windows_7
[00:56] <eph3meral> then my speakers work fine... has anyone else encountered this?
[00:56] <eph3meral> i have been googling forever and nothing on stackoverflow or ubuntuforums seems to match
[00:56] <eph3meral> i've gone through all the steps in the troubleshooting section of the sound page on help.ubuntu.com
[00:56] <Num83rGuy> Whoo hoo it works.
[00:56] <Num83rGuy> Thank you.
[00:57] <eph3meral> and none of those problems seem to apply, my kernel driver is installed, i've got a block device for the card under /dev
[00:57] <eph3meral> how would I find out which display manager i'm using/is running?
[00:58] <smw> Hi all, how can I unmount a busy drive? sudo fuser -m /dev/sdb1 is showing no information
[00:59] <FernandoCueva> I'm trying everything I can to mount this floppy drive that's 1.68MB size and I can't do it nothing's on the target directory I'm using the command sudo mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy/ -t vfat -o ro,user,noauto,exec,utf8  -  at least it could identify the floppy was to read only
[00:59] <pyr0> @eph3meral    probably not the best way but try  ps -ef | grep 'gdm'     # or lightdm or whatever other dm
[01:00] <DynamicFail_> Is there a way to take a com port I have attached to my ubuntu box make it seem like it is a local com port on my windows laptop over ip? something like a tunnel over ip?
[01:01] <eph3meral> pyr0, yeh I thought of that
[01:01] <cupps> Anyone know how to migrate from wl to brcmsmac in 10.04 with the 3.0 kernel? I upgraded to 3.0, and wl stopped working and while brcmsmas shows under "lsmod", it doesn't seem to work either.
[01:01] <eph3meral> so it looks like I'm running lightdm
[01:03] <AaronMT>  !warty
[01:03] <pyr0> @ eph3meral     /etc/X11/default-display-manager:/usr/sbin/lightdm
[01:04] <pyr0> from grep -R 'lightdm' /etc/X11/
[01:06] <pyr0> I could be wrong but I think it switched from gdm to lightdm with unity
[01:06] <IHateHavingToReg> Okay this is a pretty dumb question. I'm screwing around with Perl and it can't find Suchandsuch.pm. Well I "find" Suchandsuch.pm and it exists, but it's not in the @INC. So what is the "best" way to handle it? Move Suchandsuch.pm into the @INC directories, or add the directory Suchandsuch.pm into @INC? If the latter, how do I do that?
[01:08] <pyr0> can't you just 'use /path/to/module.pm'?
[01:08] <IHateHavingToReg> oh yeah i probably can
[01:08] <pyr0> I gotten perl-retarded since I started using python more but I think you can.
[01:08] <pyr0> *I've
[01:09] <IHateHavingToReg> where do i put the quotes
[01:09] <IHateHavingToReg> it doesn't like quotes around the path
[01:09] <matt2000> pyr0, No, I think "I gotten perl-retarded" is the correct phrase. ;-)
[01:10] <pyr0> i don't think you need the quotes, but again, I'm not entirely sure that works
[01:10] <IHateHavingToReg> okay, plan b
[01:10] <pyr0> matt2000, yeah...
[01:10] <IHateHavingToReg> how do i add the directory to @INC?
[01:11] <_r00t_> IHateHavingToReg: BEGIN { push or something } but this is frowned upon
[01:11] <IHateHavingToReg> wait if /dir/ is in @INC, is /dir/sub/ also in @INC?
[01:13] <songxk> Hello everyone
[01:13] <songxk> Who can help me to solve a problem
[01:13] <_r00t_> IHateHavingToReg: push @INC, "/_r00t_/custom_libs"; at the top of the script ...
[01:13] <songxk> I want to use 'sudo tasksel install lamp-server' to install lamp eve^
[01:14] <matt2000> songxk, don't ask to ask, just ask. If someone knows and has time to answer, they will.
[01:14] <songxk> ok
[01:14] <pyr0> via google: use lib "directory_path/more_path"; use Foo.pm;  # In directory path/more_path
[01:17] <matt2000> songxk, I never use tasksel. I just start with apt-get install apache2 php5-mysql
[01:18] <matt2000> songxk, I guess you can also use `apt-get install lamp-sever^` on an existing system
[01:18] <randomDude1> anyway to make networkmanager not create system tray selected wifi connections as "Available to all users" by default? (it requires sudo or admin like polkit permissions to continue with such actions (( which the temp guest account does not have )) ))
[01:18]  * pyr0 loves ubuntu, even though my other linux friends make fun me for it...
[01:21] <Faryshta_> hi. How can I install xwiki?
[01:22] <bazhang> Faryshta_, from where
[01:22] <songxk> thank u matt2000  i will have a try
[01:23] <TUX-Girl> im having problesm with dimming my backlight,,i use a fix before about this matter,,is simething like this=GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi
[01:24] <TUX-Girl> i need the correct line before i even try fixing this
[01:24] <pyr0> TUX-Girl, what version of ubuntu?
[01:25] <TUX-Girl> 10.4.4
[01:26] <songxk> 11.10
[01:27] <Dr_willis> you can try that acpi option from the grub boot menu to see if it fixes things.. and if it does - apply the changte to the /etc/default file
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> TUX-Girl: possibly:   GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=Linux"    look familiar?
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> TUX-Girl: what make and model system?
[01:28] <TUX-Girl> ActionParsnip, is a gateway Mseries 73
[01:28] <TUX-Girl> ubuntu 10.4.4
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> TUX-Girl: tried Oneiric? The later kernel may help...

[01:30] <boxbeatsy> hi, i'm trying to retreive whois information server-side, but am unable to retrieve contact details for godaddy domains (e.g. whois sanford-cpa.com).  my friend and i are using the same whois version (5.0.11) and ubuntu 11.10, but somehow he can access the full set of contact details when he sisues the same command.  does anyone know what would be causing the difference or how i can access the full set of info?
[01:30] <TUX-Girl> at boot i get in a black screen,,unknown controller vertion
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> TUX-Girl: try:    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor"
[01:30] <pyr0> Can you not use something in "power" or "screen" under system settings?  And if not, can you use the hardware buttons to dim?
[01:31] <TeamRocket1233c> Webmin can be installed on an OpenSSH server, right?
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> TeamRocket1233c: webmin isn't to be used in Ubuntu/Debian
[01:31] <TeamRocket1233c> Screw the idea of using it then.
[01:31] <ActionParsnip> TeamRocket1233c: use Zentyal
[01:32] <ActionParsnip> !webmin
[01:33] <matt2000> ActionParsnip, no kidding! I tried a cloudmin set-up script yesterday and it totally trashed my system.
[01:33] <TeamRocket1233c> ActionParsnip: I don't think Zentyal's free.
[01:33] <lewis1711> any idea what the gnome panel mixer applet is called in 12.04? or what binary I can run to change the volume? alsamixer shows one channel :/
[01:34] <TeamRocket1233c> I'll just use Fluxbox then.
[01:34] <xangua> lewis1711: #ubuntu+1 for pangolin
[01:34] <lewis1711> oh nevermind my hot keys work, screw a panel applet
[01:34] <ActionParsnip> lewis1711: ask in #ubuntu+1 for 12.04 related stuffs please

[01:50] <dell> boxbeatsy: could be your isp, router settings, or configuration on your machine. hard to say.
[01:51] <Sazpaimon> is there anything that implements the chiralmotion gesture on synaptics touchpads?
[01:52] <Sazpaimon> chiralmotion is a one finger scrolling method where you spin your finger around the mousepad in a circular motion from the scrolling edge to scroll up and down a page
[01:55] <Ator> I'm using Ubuntu 11.10 and have some security related questions..
[01:55] <Dulak> !ask | Ator
[01:55] <Ator> what can I do to improve the online and offline security?
[01:56] <Ator> my twitter account been hacked few times despite changing my password sevarel times..
[01:58] <Ator> how can I fix this for good?
[01:58] <CFHowlett> !vpn|ator
[01:59] <CFHowlett> Ator    if you go online you risk your system.  there is  no "fix for good", there're only degrees of risk vs. degrees of protection
[01:59] <Dulak> Ator: without knowing how your account was cracked it's hard to give specific steps to prevent it.
[01:59] <bbushvt> Hi.  anyone here really good with software raid (mdadm)?
[01:59] <Ator> sorry..by 'good' I ment to say...I don't want my twitter and email account broken into all the time..
[01:59] <i7c> Ator: i'd dare to doubt that your account pw has to do with ubuntu security
[02:00] <bbushvt> or know where I can go to get some help?
[02:00] <Ator> I'm not saying it is realted to ubuntu security..
[02:00] <Sazpaimon> also, I have an ubuntu VM that has the "waiting up to 60 seconds for network configuration" issue
[02:00] <CFHowlett> Ator   stay off public wifi.  Secure your router.
[02:00] <Sazpaimon> however, I can ssh into the machine just fine during this time
[02:00] <Sazpaimon> so the network is up and running
[02:00] <Sazpaimon> whats the deal
[02:00] <Dulak> Ator: use better passwords, never use your account on a computer other than your own, use a vpn anytime you are on wireless.
[02:00] <rbrooks> Ator, are you using good pw's?  how many characters
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> Sazpaimon: ease up on the enter key dude
[02:01] <Ator> my passwords are usually 10 charecters with numbers..
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> Sazpaimon: you could remove network manager and use the interfaces file, will make things a little easier
[02:01] <i7c> Ator: is your wifi protected / are you using wifi? i have weaker pws that never get cracked.
[02:02] <Ator> I live in a house..landlord prvides the internet..so I can;t do anyhitng to the router
[02:02] <rbrooks> are you the only one with phy access to your computers, this seems highly unusual
[02:02] <Loshki> Ator: have you read http://support.twitter.com/articles/76036-safety-keeping-your-account-secure
[02:02] <Sazpaimon> and yes, I know about the enter thing, its a force of habit, Im used to typing in channels with loads of activity and it's hard to get a word in without typing like that
[02:02] <Sazpaimon> !enter | Sazpaimon
[02:02] <Ator> I'm using wifi..but not sure how protected it is..landlord controls it.
[02:02] <hilikus> hey guys
[02:02] <CFHowlett> Ator   create a non-administrative account for daily use and for each individual user.
[02:02] <Ator> I'm the only one with phy access to my computer
[02:02] <Dulak> Ator: start using a vpn,  it's trivial to sniff passwords on wireless
[02:03] <rbrooks> https://twitter.com/
[02:03] <Ator> but I suspect someone who might be doing it..
[02:03] <CFHowlett> Ator   get the  firefox plugin "always https"
[02:03] <gregorsamsa> how do you sniff pswrd of wireless
[02:03] <Ator> so it's not really a trivial sniffing..
[02:04] <Dulak> gregorsamsa: you crack the wireless key, not sniff it.
[02:04] <gregorsamsa> ok
[02:04] <_r00t_> getting tired can I close the do-release-upgrade ssh session and resume it with screen later on ?
[02:04] <i7c> Ator: i don't know which desktop you are using. but try rightclicking on the wifi symbol and click "connection information" to see if your wifi is wpa2 protected.
[02:04] <hilikus> i have a bootable harddrive where i have some live ISO's. the harddrive shows a grub menu to boot but whichever item i try to boot it fails saying that the ISO was not found. the problem is that somwehere it is trying to mount the wrong partition. where are mounts configured so that grub sees them??
[02:05] <gnuskool> backtracj
[02:05] <Ator> I'm using gnome 3 and it is WPA2
[02:05] <rbrooks> is your landlord a computer hacker?
[02:05] <Ator> not at all..but like I said..I suspect someone who might be doing it..
[02:06] <rbrooks> how is someone doing it?
[02:06] <rbrooks> how do you suspect rateher
[02:06] <Ator> if I knew..I might have an answer..
[02:06] <rbrooks> hmmph
[02:06] <Ator> oh..because they said they have done it ones..
[02:06] <Ator> and since then I have changed the password several times..
[02:07] <rbrooks> maybe Twitter is broken lol
[02:07] <Dulak> Ator: ever let that person use your computer?
[02:07] <i7c> Ator: if it's not your landlord try talking to him about changing the wpa2 encryption key. further you can try using cable which is secure as hell.
[02:07] <Ator> including the email account that is attached to the twitter account
[02:07] <Ator> no..I'm the only one with phy access to my computer
[02:08] <i7c> then the access is maybe not "phy"... thought about it?
[02:08] <Ator> the persone I suspect is a friend of a friend..so it's not the landlord.
[02:08] <Ator> landlord got a new Linksys D2500 rounter few days ago..
[02:09] <Loshki> Ator: And we have a winner. If you do what rbrooks said you don't have to worry, since the encryption is end-to-end between you and twitter...
[02:10] <Ator> I was using windows 7 before..and I thought it must be some kind of keylogger..so I switched to Linux..and still the same..
[02:10] <Ator> could it be the browser? I'm using Google chrome
[02:10] <i7c> nope
[02:10] <CFHowlett> Ator   if ytou
[02:11] <Ator> so you're saying that person broke the wpa2 enscryption and hacked into my conputer?
[02:12] <i7c> Ator: the easiest way to sniff a pw is watch you typing it. so if it's a friend of a friend you should think about that.
[02:13] <Ator> I konw what you're saying..but I have changed the password at HOME.
[02:13] <Ator> no one has seen anything..100%
[02:13] <Ator> I'm sick of changing password now..
[02:14] <i7c> Ator: you use the password saving function of chrome?
[02:14] <sacarlson> Ator: do you always use https on your email and tweeter?
[02:14] <Ator> yes I do use the saving fucntion..
[02:14] <i7c> have you changed the google account pw too?
[02:15] <sacarlson> ator: to me it sounds like the weakness must be on the router side with a fake website present
[02:15] <i7c> because when you synch it and someone has that pw he has all your pws.
[02:15] <Ator> I'm not really sure though if threes https for tweeter..but for email I see https everytime I login..
[02:15] <Ator> yes..I changed everything that is attached to tweeter
[02:16] <Ator> I can;t really do anything with the router..landlord is very strict about this for some reason..
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> Ator: do you use a proxy?
[02:16] <Ator> no I don't.
[02:17] <davinciad> need to know if there is anyway to remotely connect to my ubuntu machine without first enabling it on the local computer? I have sudo and root access and access to the router it sits behind.
[02:17] <ActionParsnip> Ator: ok, takes that out :)
[02:17] <Ator> I tried to use TOR...but it is really really slow..
[02:17] <ActionParsnip> davinciad: you will need to install a service on the server side first, so no
[02:18] <davinciad> does the default 11.10 install any services I can use?
[02:18] <Sazpaimon> sorry, had to step away. ActionParsnip I *could* remove network-manager, but I'd like to keep it if at all possible
[02:18] <i7c> davinciad: it's really easy to install  ssh on ubuntu.
[02:19] <davinciad> yes I know but I don't have local access to it until tomorrow and I need to restart a local service tonight
[02:20] <davinciad> There has to be something I can do?
[02:20] <Ator> so the best way to try for now would be VPN I guess..
[02:20] <ActionParsnip> davinciad: they are installed but not enabled by default
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> davinciad: vino is a vnc server, in a default install, not enabled though
[02:21] <ActionParsnip> davinciad: nobody local to the PC to install openssh-server for you?
[02:22] <MoleMan> Can anyone suggest a Linux, command-line equivalent to SpeedFan for Windows please? / Anything CLI that will display system temperatures...
[02:22] <[1]Jwilx> isnt ssh already built into terminal?
[02:22] <root_____> hi guys
[02:22] <davinciad> nope its late everyone went home including myself lol
[02:22] <i7c> so there is no way.
[02:22] <root_____> just downloaded the new ubuntu 12.0 and love it.
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> !rootirc | root_____
[02:22] <_r00t_> hmmmmmm
[02:22] <ActionParsnip> root_____: there is no Ubuntu 12.0
[02:23] <_r00t_> root_____:  No performance issues ?
[02:23] <davinciad> I have vpn access to that network as well but I don't suppose that will hep
[02:23] <davinciad> help
[02:23] <i7c> ActionParsnip: i have 13.37 already, what are you talking about.
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> root_____: 12.04 runs well here too
[02:23] <_r00t_> ActionParsnip: He probably means 12.04
[02:23] <root_____> not yet...had trouble with the network manager
[02:23] <Arsin> hi
[02:23] <bobbyB> arsin
[02:23] <ActionParsnip> _r00t_: yeah but i like to nit pick sometimes
[02:23] <Sazpaimon> to be honest running IRC as root probably wont do anything bad, if you think about it
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> i7c: 13.37 of what, wrong target perhaps?
[02:24] <i7c> davinciad: nope. disabled service is disabled.
[02:24] <root_____> im using irssi
[02:24] <_r00t_> ActionParsnip: you should join the Archlinux channel then ? LOLLLLLLLLLllllllllllllllll
[02:24] <i7c> ActionParsnip: ubuntu 13.37. was bad joke, i apologize.
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> Sazpaimon: irc isn't incredibly secure, plus there are commands you ca run in scripts, which wil run as root rather than user
[02:24] <bobbyB> hey just got ubutu having difficulty even doing simple compands keep getting the message :"no such file or directory" even though there is definitely a file
[02:24] <ActionParsnip> _r00t_: hehe indeed
[02:24] <bobbyB> thoughts?
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> i7c: its late / early here, must've missed it
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> bobbyB: is the file in the pwd?
[02:25] <i7c> ActionParsnip: dito. never mind :)
[02:25] <bobbyB> pwd?
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> bobbyB: present working directory
[02:25] <bobbyB> not sure lol
[02:25] <Arsin> bobbyB: Are you directing it to the path? or have you changed your path with CD to the folder?
[02:25] <ActionParsnip> bobbyB: if you run:  ls    do you see the filename?
[02:25] <bobbyB> no
[02:26] <bobbyB> hmm interesting
[02:26] <Sazpaimon> IRC isn't sure in that it's plaintext, and if we're talking about scripts, then yeah youre not smart. But just using IRC without any fancy client dodads and stuff? I don't see what would be detrimental
[02:26] <Sazpaimon> s/sure/secure
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> bobbyB: then you wil need to change dir to where the file is
[02:26] <root_____> i mean 12.04 sorry
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> Sazpaimon: its just a good habit to get into ;)
[02:27] <Sazpaimon> ActionParsnip, can't argue there
[02:27] <ActionParsnip> root_____: precise isn't supported here until release day but you are free to hang and help others :D
[02:27] <bobbyB> ActionParsnip: so how do you od that exactly?
[02:27] <Arsin> bobbyB: CD (Directory here)
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> bobbyB: where is thefile held?
[02:28] <Arsin> in terminal
[02:28] <bobbyB> under my documents
[02:28] <bobbyB> just a simple text file
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> bobbyB: which folder?
[02:28] <Arsin> bobbyB: wait in VM or windows?
[02:28] <Sazpaimon> also, apparently a kernel update broke my virtualbox additions. I could have sworn i installed dkms
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> bobbyB: in the 'Documents' folder in home?
[02:28] <bobbyB> words.txt in th eoflder Documents
[02:28] <bobbyB> yes
[02:28] <ActionParsnip> bobbyB: cd ~/Documents
[02:28] <Guest24261> thats better im out off root now thanks for telling me...
[02:29] <ActionParsnip> Guest24261: using your user instead of root for everything means you don't have to worry
[02:29] <decksmasher> yes it does
[02:29] <bobbyB> still get the error "no such file
[02:30] <bobbyB> or directory even for that
[02:30] <bobbyB> hmmm
[02:30] <i7c> bobbyB: captial/small letters? :)
[02:30] <Arsin> ^^ is important
[02:30] <i7c> documents not equals Documents, bobbyB
[02:31] <bobbyB> I know it's uppercase
[02:32] <i7c> you can type cd and doubletap TAB to see the subfolders.
[02:32] <ActionParsnip> bobbyB: then if you now run:  ls    do you see the file?
[02:33] <Arsin> ActionParsnip: He hasn't changed directories yet
[02:33] <bobbyB> no it doesn't show
[02:33] <i7c> bobbyB: in which directory are you right now. what does the line in the terminal say?
[02:34] <decksmasher> i really want to download fluxbox now and install it with my new ubuntu 12.4 has anybody done this? just wondering if it was a good idea before i started.
[02:34] <ActionParsnip> bobbyB: did you run: cd ~/Documents    ?
[02:34] <CFHowlett> decksmasher   ask in #ubuntu+1
[02:34] <decksmasher> ok will do thanks
[02:35] <bobbyB> ActionParsnip tried to but didn't do anything
[02:35] <bobbyB> no such file or directory
[02:35] <ActionParsnip> decksmasher: I'm starting to install minimal then install flux/openbox these days :)
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> bobbyB: if you run:  ls    do you see the Documents folder?
[02:36] <bobbyB> wait not did that
[02:36] <bobbyB> yes
[02:36] <ActionParsnip> bobbyB: ok, then type:  cd ~/Do    then hit TAB, it will autocomplete
[02:37] <i7c> ActionParsnip, bobbyB: type cd ~/Docu and hit TAB. there might be a downloads folder :P
[02:38] <ActionParsnip> i7c: good point
[02:39] <ActionParsnip> bobbyB: the D is capitalized too ;)
[02:40] <bobbyB> yeah I think I got it working now
[02:40] <bobbyB> thatnks for your help guys !!!! :D:D:D:D
[02:40] <i7c> bobbyB: yay :)
[02:42] <i7c> bobbyB: you maybe should consider reading some stuff on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/  you'll make fast progress.
[02:43] <ActionParsnip> ya
[02:43] <_r00t_> for god's sake .... how long is this do-release-upgrade taking ? :/
[02:44] <jrib> _r00t_: usually a few hours for me
[02:44] <f3ck4r> see ya guys!
[02:44] <_r00t_> jrib: can I go a contol-z ; screen fg ? I'm tired
[02:44] <_r00t_> *do
[02:45] <jrib> _r00t_: /probably/ (I've never done so)
[02:45] <_r00t_> jrib:
[02:45] <_r00t_> ok thanks
[02:45]  * _r00t_ is tired of waiting
[02:47] <Dulak> fg is a builtin not an executable
[02:48] <Cache_Money> I downloaded Jupiter http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/jupiter-applet-finally-available-for.html in an attempt to stop my fan from consistently running but the varying power levels have no affect on my fan.  Any ideas?
[02:49] <decksmasher> Does anybody no if youtube is down? becouse im having trouble watching it i hope its not the new 12.04 ubuntu i just downloaded?
[02:49] <jrib> decksmasher: youtube is fine here..
[02:49] <Cache_Money> I'm trying to throtte back my CPU in hopes it will keep the fan from running all the time
[02:49] <decksmasher> jrib thanks
[02:50] <Cache_Money> decksmasher: works for me as well
[02:50] <decksmasher> its me then..? great!!
[02:50] <randomDude1> decksmasher: http://isup.me
[02:50] <gridbag> how do you create a Launcher in the left side unity bar?
[02:50] <Cache_Money> How do you guys throttle back the CPU on your machine?
[02:51] <randomDude1> gridbag: the .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/* needs to have special config attributes in it
[02:51] <_r00t_> sweet
[02:51] <_r00t_> jrib closed the ssh connection and it's still running : screen -ls
[02:51] <jrib> _r00t_: you did "screen fg"?
[02:52] <hiexpo> gotta luv albaia
[02:52] <Dulak> _r00t_: how the heck?  fg is a built in not an executable, screen should puke on it.
[02:53] <_r00t_> jrib no that wouldn't work... since the do-release-upgrade creates its own screen I just disconnected the ssh session
[02:53] <Guest19665> does anyone ever have problems with skype not working on their linux os?
[02:53] <bazhang> hiexpo, pardon?
[02:53] <decksmasher> The only thing im not sure about with the 12.04 is the workspace switcher.
[02:53] <jrib> _r00t_: ah
[02:53] <_r00t_> Dulak: correct
[02:53] <Guest19665> anyone at all?
[02:53]  * _r00t_ sleep 3600*3
[02:53] <_r00t_> good night
[02:54] <Guest19665> can anyone help me with a problem i am having with skype?
[02:54] <jrib> Dulak, _r00t_: reptyr seems like a cool tool in case you're ever in the situation where you didn't use screen to start with
[02:54] <hiexpo> hola  bazhang
[02:54] <_r00t_> jrib: NICE I must look into that
[02:55] <bazhang> Guest19665, what version of ubuntu , what is the issue with skype
[02:55] <Guest19665> it is version 10.4 i tink
[02:55]  * hiexpo is being nice
[02:55] <bazhang> hiexpo, please stay on topic
[02:55] <hiexpo> sure
[02:55] <Guest19665> and it shows people as online then when i go to talk to them or type it doesn't see them as online and won't connect
[02:55] <ghostnik11> hi, i am having a problem with printing from a canon mp560, i think the problem is that when i first installed the printer drivers i installed from a driver that was copied from another computer but now I want to reinstall the driver fresh but need to eliminate the drivers from the computer
[02:56] <ghostnik11> my question is how do i purge the drivers?
[02:56] <bazhang> ghostnik11, what does linuxprinting.org database say about that printer
[02:56] <bazhang> ghostnik11, how did you install them
[02:56] <ghostnik11> bazhang,  didn't know that there was such a site, will check it out now, but i installed it directly
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: the canon site may have drivers for your printer, they do make some linux drivers in deb form :)
[02:57] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: go to the canon europe site
[02:57] <ghostnik11> bazhang,  yeah what i did was i went to canon and just put europe to get drivers, like ActionParsnip said
[02:58] <ghostnik11> bazhang, but the thing is that the first drivers i installed was copied from a thinkpad laptop and this is a different computer
[02:58] <ghostnik11> bazhang, so i think i screwed it up by installing the copied drivers instead of going to the site and downloading them directly from canon like i did for the thinkpad
[02:58] <Guest19665> i am brand new to linux so not sure why i am having this problem bazhang
[02:59] <hiexpo> hola ActionParsnip
[03:00] <mopar> bazhang?
[03:01] <charinza> [;l[
[03:01] <charinza> hi
[03:01] <mopar> hello
[03:01] <charinza> icome from thailand
[03:01] <mopar> awesome charinza, i come from america
[03:01] <charinza> I like ubuntu
[03:01] <goddard> me  to
[03:01] <mopar> i am brand new to ubuntu
[03:02] <mopar> been on it a week and a half
[03:02] <goddard> im not but still lovin it
[03:02] <mopar> came from microsoft
[03:02] <charinza> i want ubuntu server
[03:02] <mopar> i have a question for ya'll
[03:02] <mopar> why do i have problems with skype?
[03:02] <wawawee> dont go back to winblows :)
[03:03] <wawawee> nice vague question
[03:03] <wawawee> lol
[03:03] <mopar> i try typing or calling a person on skype but for some reason it does not connect with them
[03:03] <goddard> cause skype is a microsoft product
[03:03] <mopar> no there is a linux version which i have
[03:03] <wawawee> I have the same issue I have to close it with task manager and resign in
[03:03] <mopar> and it was working before
[03:03] <wawawee> it randomly stops working all the time
[03:03] <goddard> no its a microsoft product
[03:04] <wawawee> its a microshit owned company now
[03:04] <goddard> yep
[03:04] <mopar> then why is there a linux version in the ubuntu software center?
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> mopar: did you grab the deb from the skype site
[03:04] <ghostnik11> bazhang, i just checked out linuxprinting.org and it doesn't have my printer listed: canon pixmia mp560
[03:04] <sacarlson> mopar: skype is working fine for me on ubuntu 11.10
[03:04] <goddard> you really should use something else
[03:04] <mopar> yes i did actionparsnip
[03:04] <mopar> oh wait no
[03:04] <wawawee> mopar it was bought out by microsoft recently
[03:04] <goddard> in my opinion
[03:04] <mopar> i got it from the ubuntu software center
[03:04] <wawawee> and it would make sense to port it to multiple os's
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> mopar: skype as a company is owned by microsoft, microsoft get money by people using paid skype accounts so it is smart to still support Linux
[03:04] <mopar> like what goddard?
[03:04] <ghostnik11> bazhang, but i know it works on ubuntu because it worked on my thinkpad, i just don't know why it doesn't work on this compaq prescario c700
[03:05] <goddard> mopar: there are a few out there but it depends what you wanna do
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> skype also has poor security
[03:05] <goddard> mopar: you use it for a phone number?
[03:05] <mopar> i downloaded skype from the ubuntu software center
[03:05] <d1n0> the internet has poor security, lmao
[03:05] <d1n0> ;P
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> mopar: the one on the skype site is a little newer
[03:05] <wawawee> what does it say when you try to connect
[03:05] <mopar> i have all my contacts i can even pull up the message part but it will not connect with them
[03:05] <ActionParsnip> mopar: is your OS 64bit?
[03:05] <wawawee> connect as in call?
[03:06] <mopar> yes action
[03:06] <mopar> call or type wawa
[03:06] <limpc> hi guys.  having a small issue with my bash prompt, im using a custom prompt ( PS1="$GREEN┌$DARKGRAY($PCT{$LOAD}$DARKGRAY)$GREEN─[$White$On_IBlue\w$NC$GREEN]─\n└$DARKGRAY($PCT\t$DARKGRAY)-($PCT\u$DARKGRAY@\h)$YELLOW $ $NC").  works fine, but it seems like the prompt is still "taking" up space equal to the length of my prompt, immediately to the right of the prompt
[03:06] <zosky> hi yall
[03:06] <goddard> i use Google at the moment but that may not be any better for some
[03:06] <wawawee> try killing it in task manager and relaunching it does that to me randomly
[03:06] <goddard> there are lots of VOIP services out there
[03:06] <limpc> so if i have a prompt of 50 chars and i type something, it wraps to the beginning of the prompt (overwritting the current prompt) 50 chars before the end of the last column
[03:06] <limpc> how do i fix that?
[03:06] <wawawee> i have no idea why im going to reinstall from the skype website now too... join me on this microshit quest
[03:06] <mopar> ok wawawee
[03:06] <mopar> where is task manager on a loinux os?
[03:07] <wawawee> i use gnome i have no idea
[03:07] <goddard> top
[03:07] <mopar> i am brand new to linux so am trying to figure out where everything is
[03:07] <limpc> whats the skype problem?
[03:07] <goddard> GNU/Linux comes with "top" via the terminal
[03:07] <limpc> get htop for the win.
[03:07] <Sazpaimon> so even after uninistalling network-manager I'm still getting the "waiting 60 seconds for network configuration"
[03:07] <mopar> i try typing or calling a skype contact limpc but when i try either it does not show the person as online
[03:07] <wawawee> Hopefully there's a newer version on the website im going to check now
[03:08] <pQylling> Hi there! Does anyone know how to prevent youtube videos from maximizing into my metamode resolution?
[03:08] <wawawee> yeah it does that to me too
[03:08] <mopar> i am using linux
[03:08] <limpc> mopar, ah ive had that issue before.  its definitely a skype linux issue
[03:08] <wawawee> i just kill it in task manager and sign on again
[03:08] <wawawee> its a mess
[03:08] <mopar> that is what i was thinking limpc
[03:08] <limpc> yep
[03:08] <mopar> where is task manager?
[03:08] <limpc> so, any bashrc gurus here :)
[03:08] <limpc> mopar - console
[03:08] <wawawee> i dont use unity or whatver its called
[03:08] <wawawee> no idea
[03:09] <mopar> where is console?
[03:09] <ghostnik11> has this ever happened to anyone where you select to print a document like word doc or open document but when you check the printer its always held
[03:09] <limpc> /bin/bash or /bin/sh
[03:09] <zosky> twice -this week- my root has remounting read-only ??? http://pastie.org/3682167 ... is this a sign that root (my 8gb USB thumb drive) is dying ?
[03:09] <pQylling> What I mean is that youtube maximizes into 3080x1080 so the player gets really small on one monitor when I try to maximize it
[03:09] <mopar> do i need to download the newer version of linux?
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> limpc: bashrc is just a list of commands to run when you launch a terminal, so anyone whom can use bash in a coding way can help
[03:10] <gridbag> Putting a file in ~/.local/share/applications/foo.desktop , with a [Desktop Entry] isn't working for putting a launcher on the left unity bar.
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> mopar: do you mean newest version of Ubuntu?
[03:10] <ghostnik11> then when you tell it to play or carry on with the printing in the printer settings it just keep saying printing document? at least thats what happens when using gnome shell
[03:10] <limpc> ActionParsnip, yes i know. i asked a specific question about it but nobody answered
[03:10] <mopar> yes action
[03:10] <limpc> im having problems with PS1 (prompt)
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> mopar: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[03:10] <ActionParsnip> limpc: in what way?
[03:10] <Cache_Money> How do I find out if there are any other users running Ubuntu on the same computer model as myself?
 hi guys.  having a small issue with my bash prompt, im using a custom prompt ( PS1="$GREEN┌$DARKGRAY($PCT{$LOAD}$DARKGRAY)$GREEN─[$White$On_IBlue\w$NC$GREEN]─\n└$DARKGRAY($PCT\t$DARKGRAY)-($PCT\u$DARKGRAY@\h)$YELLOW $ $NC").  works fine, but it seems like the prompt is still "taking" up space equal to the length of my prompt, immediately to the right of the prompt
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | Cache_Money may help

[03:11] <mopar> action this is all too much for me i am brand spanking new user of linux your language is greek to me bro

[03:12] <ActionParsnip> mopar: copy the command and press CTRL+ALT+T, paste the command there and hit ENTER, copy the output and paste it here
[03:12] <wawawee> mopar i just upgraded my skype i doubt it'll fix anything but oh well
[03:12] <sacarlson> JermBob: network-manager has options for static ip
[03:12] <limpc> ActionParsnip, what i mean is, if my prompt is 50 chars long, when i type something on the prompt, it'll wrap without a newline, starting 50 chars from the last column available
[03:12] <JermBob> you are right
[03:13] <JermBob> i had to go to the ipv4 tab
[03:13] <JermBob> sorry about that
[03:13] <gridbag> oh wait, that does work if you drop/drag it with filemanager.
[03:13] <JermBob> is the netmask the same thing as a subnet ?
[03:14] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: yes
[03:14] <Dulak> JermBob: the netmask describes the size of the subnet, so kinda
[03:14] <limpc> ActionParsnip, any idea?
[03:14] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: its the subnet mask
[03:14] <JermBob> thanks
[03:14] <MoleMan> Can anyone suggest a Linux, command-line equivalent to SpeedFan for Windows please? / Anything CLI that will display system temperatures...
[03:14] <ActionParsnip> limpc: I'd ask in #bash, I'm no good with PS1 things
[03:14] <JermBob> thanks
[03:14] <Sazpaimon> any way to fix this "waiting up to 60 seconds for network configuration" issue?
[03:14] <limpc> ha.. 666 users in #bash :)
[03:15] <Sazpaimon> I've already uninstalled network-manager, and I can ssh into the machine fine at this point. What else could be causing it
[03:15] <BlackDalek> how do I remove a ttf font from the system?
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> Sazpaimon: did you try setting the IP in /etc/network/interfaces
[03:16] <BryanRuiz> how do is start programs on startup in unity?
[03:16] <BryanRuiz> or actually
[03:16] <BryanRuiz> i reverted to an old gnome
[03:16] <Sazpaimon> ActionParsnip, it's set to DHCP, and like I said, I can ssh into the machine fine
[03:16] <BryanRuiz> but now i dont have a system menu
[03:17] <hiexpo> sup ActionParsnip
[03:17] <BryanRuiz> or maybe its a new gnome, i dont know
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> Sazpaimon: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[03:17] <JermBob> dam network connections screen cant close
[03:17] <JermBob> weak
[03:17] <Sazpaimon> ActionParsnip, oneric
[03:17] <wawawee> hey what does SDA stand for I googled it
[03:17] <wawawee> just curious i see nothing
[03:17] <JermBob> dam alt button on vnc
[03:17] <JermBob> messes stuff up
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> Sazpaimon: is it a virtual system?
[03:18] <Sazpaimon> ActionParsnip, yes
[03:18] <ActionParsnip> Sazpaimon: what technology are you using?
[03:19] <limpc> #bash is quiet :(
[03:19] <Sazpaimon> ActionParsnip, virtualbox
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> Sazpaimon: vmware? virtualbox?
[03:19] <BryanRuiz> anyone using ubuntu one storage?
[03:19] <BryanRuiz> any good?
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> Sazpaimon: have you asked in the #vbox channel, there may be a known issue
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> Sazpaimon: could try changing the network device in the vbox config
[03:20] <JermBob> hrm
[03:20] <JermBob> my pc im vncing my box from
[03:21] <JermBob> has internet
[03:21] <Dishcandanty> Question: Trying to install Themes with the gnome tweak tool. All seemed to install just fine, but doesn't show any themes in the tool
[03:21] <Sazpaimon> ActionParsnip, let me actually try killing all the network manager stuff in interfaces, that may be it. There are a few things listed as "auto" that shouldnt be
[03:21] <JermBob> the ubuntu box is on the same network but cant get www
[03:21] <JermBob> i just specified the ip
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: try:   echo "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null
[03:22] <Sazpaimon> though I could have sword virtualbox gave me a usb0 device, guess not
[03:22] <JermBob> ActionParsnip whats that do ?
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: set's your DNS servers
[03:23] <hiexpo> sup
[03:23] <BlackDalek> how do I remove a ttf font from the system?
[03:23] <JermBob> ActionParsnip what does it set them to ?
[03:23] <Sazpaimon> JermBob, google DNS
[03:23] <hiexpo> nadda
[03:23] <JermBob> really interesting
[03:24] <JermBob> yup
[03:24] <JermBob> that worked
[03:24] <JermBob> thanks
[03:24] <JermBob> hah
[03:24] <FloodBot1> JermBob: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:24] <JermBob> i set the dns in my network settings too
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: it's google's primary public DNS, its a DNS is all you need to know
[03:24] <hiexpo> smiles
[03:24] <JermBob> haha
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: if you set an IP and gateway it doesn'ty mean you will get the web, if you don't set a DNS server you will get nothing
[03:25] <JermBob> ActionParsnip i know this. i did set my dns to my modem but it didnt pick the server ips up from it obviously
[03:25] <BryanRuiz> how the hell do you get ubuntu one to run automatically
[03:25] <JermBob> other machines on my network do
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: try the web based one, may help
[03:26] <JermBob> ActionParsnip it sure did
[03:26] <JermBob> thanks
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: thats why I said to use that, not your modem
[03:27] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: funny how it works when you do what I say huh ;)
[03:27] <JermBob> ActionParsnip i understand, just any other pc on my network set to the <IP_ADDRESS> dns works too
[03:27] <JermBob> just ubuntu needed it different obviously
[03:27] <JermBob> not to relay them from the modem
[03:27] <JermBob> ActionParsnip i just like to learn as well as being told the answer so i dont need to ask again next time
[03:28] <JermBob> thats why i asked what it did :D
[03:28] <curiousx> ciao a tutti
[03:28] <curiousx> !it > curiousx
[03:28] <JermBob> !it > JermBob
[03:28] <JermBob> ?
[03:28] <JermBob> heh
[03:29] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: its cool, sometimes home grade stdoes't give the right details, so humans can override :)
[03:29] <kevdog> let worldpeace reign
[03:29] <JermBob> home grade stdoes't ?
[03:30] <ActionParsnip> JermBob: home grade stuff
[03:30] <Sazpaimon> oh god the people going "ciao" have invaded this channel too? Has this become an infestation over all of IRC?
[03:30] <JermBob> ah yeah thompson modem
[03:30] <JermBob> poop
[03:30] <Alazare619> so im running ubuntu on my server box 10.04 lucid lynx fully updated with xfwm and xfpanel but my sound wont save any ideas
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> Alazare619: how do you save sound?
[03:32] <Alazare619> if i remember right its alsa
[03:34] <curiousx> Alazare619: recording sound... arecord -f dat -t wav test.wav    listen recorded sound... aplay -t wav -f dat test.wav
[03:35] <root> hey guys
[03:35] <Alazare619> i mean volume levels...sorry its late
[03:35] <ghostnik11> how can you search for a printer on your network that isn't detected when you go to add printer
[03:35] <ghostnik11> how do you find its address
[03:36] <Alazare619> dhcp tables?
[03:36] <kevdog> can you ping the printer?
[03:36] <curiousx> Alazare619: type in terminal: alsamixex
[03:36] <ghostnik11> kevdog, well it finds the printer when i want to scan something but doesn't find it when i want to print
[03:36] <goddard> ghostnik11: wrong driver?
[03:36] <nuiok> Guys can anyone tell me if there at least intermediate using the backtrack OS
[03:36] <nuiok> ?
[03:37] <ghostnik11> kevdog, so i wanted to know if i could just go to add printer and put its location
[03:37] <goddard> nuiok: ?
[03:37] <_pg_> installing smb on xubuntu is a nightmare. any ideas on making it easier? hint i still havent gotten it working
[03:37] <ghostnik11> goddard, its the only driver that is offered
[03:37] <nuiok> I wanna private chat to get a little more knowledge on the backtrack OS
[03:37] <goddard> nuiok: ask in their channe;
[03:37] <Alazare619> ./join #backtrack
[03:38] <kevdog> tell me more about printer -- is it stand alone, wireless standalone, or does it go through an attached pc
[03:38] <ghostnik11> goddard, the printer works for scanning a document over my network but doesn't for printing
[03:38] <curiousx> nuiok: #backtrack-linux
[03:38] <ghostnik11> kevdog, its the canon pixma mp560 and it works via wireless through the my home router
[03:38] <goddard> ghostnik11: to me if scanning is working but printing isn't that tells me either installed incorrectly .. default printer not set correctly or malfunctions of the printer hardware
[03:38] <Alazare619> whats the command to find the current sound driver in use
[03:38] <nuiok> I am using a vm
[03:38] <nuiok> sas i'm banned
[03:39] <nuiok> says*
[03:39] <Alazare619> heh
[03:39] <goddard> ghostnik11: google any help?
[03:39] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Has static IP address?
[03:39] <ghostnik11> goddard, it works for the other computers in the house
[03:39] <ghostnik11> kevdog, i don't know the ip thats what i want to find
[03:39] <goddard> ghostnik11: ahh so the computer your printer from is ubuntu?
[03:39] <ghostnik11> goddard, yes
[03:39] <curiousx> sorry mah friend but in the BT world there is no teacher
[03:39] <goddard> ghostnik11: and you have the correct info?
[03:40] <ghostnik11> goddard, it works from windows laptop and also another ubuntu 11.10 which is a thinkpad but not my compaq laptop
[03:40] <kevdog> ghostnik11: It should either say on the printer, or have you scanned your internal network with a tool like nmap?
[03:40] <ghostnik11> goddard, yep its the latest version and everything in synaptic
[03:40] <goddard> ghostnik11: ahh probably something just set incorrectly
[03:40] <curiousx> you have to lern by ypurself but ill give ya a good beginig: http://www.securitytube.net/
[03:40] <ghostnik11> kevdog, no never did a scan how can i do one?
[03:41] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Let me look up the command since I don't do it everyday
[03:42] <G0ldfizzy> ghostnik11: try typing ifconfig in a terminal and see if the printer ip shows up
[03:42] <ghostnik11> G0ldfizzy, thanks will do right away
[03:42] <kevdog> nmap <IP_ADDRESS>/24 would do all ip addresses from <IP_ADDRESS>-><IP_ADDRESS>
[03:44] <ghostnik11> G0ldfizzy, ifconfig just gave me the info on my laptop and not on network
[03:44] <ghostnik11> kevdog, i have to install nmap first one sec
[03:44] <G0ldfizzy> ghostnik11: netstat -tap
[03:44] <curiousx> kevdog: sudo nmap -sP <IP_ADDRESS>/24
[03:45] <kevdog> Thanks for the nmap clarifications -- I don't use the tool everyday
[03:46] <G0ldfizzy> curiousx: what is the -sP for?
[03:48] <ghostnik11> kevdog, i got the scan of network with doing it without sudo
[03:48] <ghostnik11> kevdog, i found it on my network will try to add the address and see if it works now
[03:49] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Well at least you found it
[03:49] <curiousx> G0ldfizzy: let search into mah files i dont remember but i know that this command is for search alive IPs in the lan
[03:50] <curiousx> G0ldfizzy: this is the ouput of that command:
[03:50] <curiousx> http://paste.ubuntu.com/903279/
[03:51] <G0ldfizzy> curiousx: ahh right thanks. I am not sure if the printer was wireless but I would have logged into router to see where the traffic was going - probably the long way around it :\
[03:51] <ghostnik11> quick question must these be installed for me to get the printer detected on the network: Network printer detection needs services mdns, ipp, ipp-client and samba-client
[03:52] <ome> Where does the apt is keeping the package index files ? how can I force reload them ?
[03:53] <kevdog> ghostnik11: What does sudo lpstat -t give you?
[03:53] <sacarlson> ome: sudo apt-get update;
[03:53] <curiousx> G0ldfizzy: another tool, sudo nast -m -i wlan0
[03:53] <ghostnik11> kevdog, shows no destination added
[03:54] <curiousx> G0ldfizzy: you wanna sniff the traffic going though the printer ?
[03:54] <curiousx> through*
[03:55] <G0ldfizzy> curiousx: I wouldn't mind knowing how to do that. I had ntop installed on my server but I am redoing it now so it is down.
[03:55] <ghostnik11> kevdog, i don't get it, it works on ubuntu 11.10 on a thinkpad but doesn't work on a ubuntu 11.10 compaq prescario
[03:56] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Not sure, but I'm looking some things up for you to add this printer via the command line
[03:57] <curiousx> ok to sniff the whole traffic in your LAN the best tool ever is "wireshark"
[03:57] <curiousx> only you have to filter the traffic you wanna see
[03:57] <ome> sacarlson: that doesn't help, I have messed things up.
[03:57] <G0ldfizzy> curiousx: don't know how to use it properly but would love to learn.
[03:58] <curiousx> let search into my files =P xD
[03:58] <sacarlson> curiousx: also if you network is switched you need to put wireshark on a system that is used as gateway to see most trafic and even with that not all if path is local to another node on the lan
[03:58] <kevdog> When you specifically scan the ip address of the printer, whats the output of nmap?
[04:00] <curiousx> =( i loss a lot of data i had the whole wiki of wireshark in mah hdd =(
[04:01] <curiousx> ye sacarlson
[04:01] <kevdog> ghostnik11: When you specifically scan the ip address of the printer, whats the output of nmap?
[04:01] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: if you put the IP in the add network printer app and click 'probe'  is it detected?
[04:02] <curiousx> but wireshark is pretty easy only you have to click in the interface which is connected to the router let say wlan
[04:02] <G0ldfizzy> curiousx: is there a web UI for when using on a server?
[04:03] <G0ldfizzy> <- back in 5
[04:03] <curiousx> no, i dont know about a web UI =(
[04:03] <ghostnik11> ActionParsnip, it won't even let me select probe in the add network printer app, all it does is keep saying certain files have to be installed like: Network printer detection needs services mdns, ipp, ipp-client and samba-client
[04:04] <curiousx> but ther is a CLI tool called "tshark" wich is used for wireshark and another which is too good called "tcpdump"
[04:05] <ghostnik11> kevdog, when i do nmap for the printers ip only all  it says is hosts is up and then tells me the ports opened for it
[04:05] <kevdog> which ports
[04:05] <kevdog> ghostnik11: You don't have port 631 blocked via a firewall do you?
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: how did you install ubuntu?
[04:07] <ghostnik11> ActionParsnip, through a ubuntu 11.10 cd
[04:07] <ghostnik11> kevdog, no
[04:07] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: strange, should install all that for you
[04:07] <kevdog> ghostnik11: which ports are open on the port scanner
[04:08] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Do you have cups installed?
[04:08] <ghostnik11> kevdog, will check if cups is installed
[04:08] <ghostnik11> kevdog, also i can ping the printers ip so its being detected
[04:09] <ghostnik11> kevdog, cups is installed
[04:10] <lysdexia> USB 3G Dongle on oneiric question: I have ubuntu minimal installed on a pcengines ALIX board. When I plug in my HUAWEI 3G dongle, only the mass storage device shows in dmesg. When I do the same on another machine with a full graphical installation of oneiric, I see "usb 1-3:1.0: GSM modem (1-port) converter detected ... I'm obviously missing a package or two, but can't figure out which. Clues, please?
[04:11] <SuperNoeMan> lysdexia: I think there is a command that you can run that will list every package on a system
[04:11] <SuperNoeMan> you can do that on each machine, and then compare them
[04:12] <kevdog> ghostnik11: What does: sudo lpinfo -v     show?
[04:12] <SuperNoeMan> by finding out what each has, I think you'll be able to find the one you need
[04:12] <the> heeeiii dudes, I have a problem with my ubuntu 10.4
[04:13] <CFHowlett> The  do tell ...
[04:13] <the> eiii!!
[04:13] <the> someone!
[04:13] <ghostnik11> kevdog, cnijnet:/00-1E-8F-CD-EE-E6
[04:13] <CFHowlett> the no details, no help.
[04:13] <SuperNoeMan> the: just talk about the problem
[04:13] <sacarlson> the: I'm sure with all the info you have provided we will have that solved in no time
[04:14] <the> please something to find drivers for my speckers on my ubuntu 10.4?
[04:14] <kevdog> ghostnik11: I'm guessing that's the MAC address of the printer
[04:14] <the> ooohh!
[04:14] <the> i have probles with my drivers
[04:14] <sacarlson> the: most sound cards are plug and play
[04:15] <the> but something to fix it??
[04:15] <ghostnik11> kevdog, yeah so if it sees the mac address then how come it can't add it as a printer that prints but it allows scaning over the network
[04:15] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Before I go technical U have tried http://<IP_ADDRESS>/631
[04:15] <rbrooks> hmm try to unmute yet in the mixer?
[04:15] <wiseguy12851> can somebody help me get zend working on my Ubuntu Server Machine, I can'r even get a basic application working
[04:15] <wiseguy12851> white screen of death
[04:16] <ghostnik11> kevdog, no
[04:16] <sacarlson> the: to start we might take a peak at what hardware is detected with something like sudo lshw | pastebinit ;
[04:16] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Try it
[04:16] <ghostnik11> kevdog, do you mean a nmap of http://<IP_ADDRESS>/631
[04:16] <rbrooks> wiseguy12851, are you useing what jvm?
[04:16] <the> this is for me?'
[04:16] <kevdog> ghostnik11: No just try that in the browser
[04:16] <rbrooks> lol
[04:16] <wiseguy12851> I just install zend framework through pear
[04:16] <rbrooks> hmm
[04:17] <the> fuck, it's dificult for my to understand all of this because i don't speack english well
[04:17] <ghostnik11> kevdog, it says firefox can't establish a connection to the server
[04:17] <rbrooks> lol
[04:18] <rbrooks> the: try unmuting mixer?? i dunno
[04:18] <CFHowlett> The if you understand enough english to use profanity, you'll do fine here.  by the way, let's keep our language clean.  it's a rule.
[04:18] <sacarlson> the: there are other channels that support other languages, you might want to try them first
[04:18] <CFHowlett> the: what's your first language?
[04:18] <the> spanish

[04:38] <Braden`> I am trying to add a second IP.  Only one physical network card.    Someone should stay opped and just issue bans instead of having users flood the channel with ban requests.

[04:42] <ActionParsnip> the: I asked you what your issue was!?
[04:42] <ghostnik11> kevdog, so i just finished installing the drivers and told it to print a test page
[04:42] <ghostnik11> kevdog, will see if it actually does it
[04:42] <Dulak> Braden`: it's exactly the same as the primary ip except you use a device alias (eth0:0) as the device
[04:43] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Ok -- good, cross your fingers
[04:43] <sacarlson> Braden`: ok you can add it there also

[04:44] <Seven_Six_Two> I'm trying to go through many individual documents, and I have to resize the widths. The overlay scroll handles are making it very frustrating. Is there an easier way?
[04:44] <kevdog> Seven_Six_Two: Like they are jpgs or something else
[04:45] <Yorak> Is there any program I can use to center windows on my screen? There used to be something I used ages ago, but for the life of me I cannot remember what it was called.
[04:45] <FernandoCueva> I'm trying to mount a floppy disk on ubuntu and I can't what is going on? how can I see what's inside my floppy disk if I don't know its partition type yet
[04:45] <Seven_Six_Two> meaning the scroll handles interfere with getting the window width cursor when I go to the edge of the window. I don't want to scroll, I have a wheel. I want to make the windows wider when I open them
[04:46] <zandt> http://pastebin.com/06V9EaRw palimpsest output & http://pastebin.com/Kf5Mb3x8 fdisk output. can't mount a usb drive :|
[04:46] <ghostnik11> kevdog, nope didn't print it just says in the printing jobs; 1 active job and it says held
[04:46] <rbrooks> Seven_Six_Two, use ALT click then move window
[04:46] <ActionParsnip> the: if you don't explain your issue, nobody can help
[04:47] <kevdog> can you list on your install the following: sudo lpinfo -m | grep 560 | grep Canon
[04:47] <Fyodorovna> zandt, Disk /dev/sdb doesn't contain a valid partition table
[04:47] <kevdog> ghostnick11: can you list on your install the following: sudo lpinfo -m | grep 560 | grep Canon
[04:47] <mefistofeles> hey, is there a way to disable a ubuntu user to shutdown/reboot and/or switch user?
[04:47] <kevdog> ghostnik11: and can you pastebin: sudo lpinfo -v
[04:47] <Lady`GirL> Hi
[04:47] <Lady`GirL> :)
[04:47] <Seven_Six_Two> rbrooks, I don't need to move the window. I need to make it wider. when I move my cursor to the right side of the window to get the left-right arrow, the scroll overlay appears under my cursor
[04:47] <kevdog> hi
[04:48] <kevdog> Lady`GirL: probably a man baby!
[04:48] <ghostnik11> kevdog, here is an imagebin, http://imagebin.org/205458
[04:48] <elky> kevdog, that's inappropriate.
[04:48] <rbrooks> can you move window so that the cursor change to resize?  thats what i was thinking
[04:48] <sacarlson> mefistofeles: yes; in fact I thought the default added users would have those settings
[04:48] <Lady`GirL> Biþey dicem
[04:49] <mefistofeles> sacarlson: no, I added users with "adduser" and still they can shutdown/reboot the machine
[04:49] <Seven_Six_Two> rbrooks, holding alt just moves the window. it doesn't give me the resize cursor.
[04:49] <mefistofeles> sacarlson: not even extra groups, just "users"
[04:49] <sacarlson> mefistofeles: try the users group gui and uncheck some stuf
[04:50] <kevdog> ghostnik11: and can you pastebin: sudo lpinfo -v
[04:50] <mefistofeles> sacarlson: the thing is that I need something to work for more than 200 users :P
[04:50] <ghostnik11> kevdog, here is pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/903327/
[04:50] <rbrooks> ok i thought you were needing to go further than the edge of the screen or something
[04:51] <sacarlson> mefistofeles:  must be a file that sets default settings or maybe create a script to add users with your settings you desire
[04:51] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Great, one more pastebin: sudo lpinfo -m | grep 560 | grep Canon
[04:51] <Lady`GirL> Hi ; I'm Turkey : City : ÝstanbuL :)

[04:51] <rbrooks> maybe if you say what wm you use then someone can help alt+click usu moves but i dk resize Seven_Six_Two

[04:53] <ActionParsnip> Yorak: I belive its a setting in ccsm, if not then you can use devilspie
[04:53] <CFHowlett> Lady`GirL   what's tthe problem?
[04:53] <Lady`GirL> Yes :(
[04:53] <kevdog> Braden`: Weird netmask
[04:53] <sacarlson> mefistofeles: I see that adduser is a bash script in /usr/sbin/adduser;  from looking at that you can modify or see what the default files it uses
[04:53] <ghostnik11> kevdog, here is the crazy thing, it keeps saying or i guess its an error but in gnome 3 which is what i use i can an incoming message saying printer is printing
[04:53] <CFHowlett> Lady`GirL   please describe the problem
[04:53] <ghostnik11> kevdog, but it keeps popping up, meaning its an error
[04:54] <Lady`GirL> Addon have a problem CFHowlett
[04:54] <James_WB> CFHowlett , installed the driver but I have no idea on how to procede forward ,
[04:54] <ActionParsnip> Braden`: is your network address correct for your netmask?
[04:54] <kevdog> ghostnik11: annoying messages from the message center, Ok I'm ready to give you the command:
[04:54] <rbrooks> Braden`, try eth0:1
[04:54] <monkeybox> Braden: try naming your virtual interface eth0:1
[04:54] <Yorak> ActionParsnip: Thank you. :-) Not sure what option that is in CCSM, but devilspie is the app I was looking for, the one I used ages ago.
[04:54] <CFHowlett> James_WB   and I already killed that link.  tell me the make/model of that modem again?
[04:55] <CFHowlett> Lady`GirL  do you have the firefox browser?
[04:55] <James_WB> h9601 by prolink  , you gave me eciadsl driver to install http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/download.php
[04:55] <Lady`GirL> Very slow connection with Turkey  , CFHowlett, James_WB  :)))
[04:56] <James_WB> once installed im clueless on how to procede
[04:56] <sacarlson> Braden`: you do realize that  address x.x.x.3  is not a valid ip address?
[04:56] <Braden`> sacarlson:  Read notes at the top
[04:56] <Braden`> Will change to 0:1
[04:56] <ghostnik11> kevdog, i still can't get why it works flawlessly on my thinkpad with the same ubuntu version but not on a compaq using the same ubuntu version, its comical

[04:58] <mefistofeles> sacarlson: ok, thanks, gonna check that one
[04:58] <Braden`> # ifconfig eth0:1 up -> SIOCSIFFLAGS:  Cannot assign requested address
[04:59] <Yorak> ActionParsnip: Cool, a GUI interface. Does it make it fairly easy to simply center windows? Or do I have to program each app and the window size in there manually?
[04:59] <ActionParsnip> Yorak: not used it in years tbh, you'll have to see what it does
[04:59] <sacarlson> Braden`: I guess that's what it would say with  address x.x.x.3  veses address <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:59] <monkeybox> Braden: also, you shouldn't need the broadcast or network since that should be assigned by the mask
[05:00] <Yorak> ActionParsnip: Alrighty, no problem. I have a 1920x1200 screen, but I am OCD about things. Oh, one more question. 12.04 will be the first time I have used Ubuntu on a laptop in 5+ years. Is there good fingerprint reader support?
[05:00] <ghostnik11> kevdog, okay that added a new printer with the name canon
[05:01] <kevdog> ghostnik11: do you see this in the gui?

[05:02] <phy1729> My users already have a password in the domain auth'd with samba; is it possible to use pam so that to login with ssh they must meet some minimum password requirements?
[05:02] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Is the printer on - ready to go -- off standby
[05:02] <Braden`> What would cause the error "SIOCSIFFLAGS:  Cannot assign requested address" when adding an ip alias?

[05:11] <ghostnik11> kevdog, actually i just did it through nautilus will have it pastebined
[05:12] <kevdog> ghostnik11: gksu gedit /etc/cups/printers.conf or sudo more /etc/cups/printers.conf
[05:13] <ghostnik11> kevdog, here is pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/903357/
[05:14] <ghostnik11> kevdog, when i run sudo lpc -PCanon noholdall it says: -PCanon is not implemented by the CUPS version of lpc.
[05:14] <kevdog> ghostnik11: I'm curious -- with your working computer -- is your /etc/cups/printers.conf the same
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> kevdog: why sudo more, users can read the file...
[05:15] <phy1729> Is it possible to use pam to check password requirements on login not on password change?
[05:15] <kevdog> ghostnik11: how about sudo lpc -P Canon noholdall Canon
[05:16] <quickbrownfox> Is it possible to remove the input text box for xchat? I'd like to have it more like irssi, where the input text area is a part of the chat log.
[05:18] <research4oscar> where can i read up on setting groups and users for /var/www
[05:18] <kevdog> ghostnik11: In your gui -- if you right click on the printer name on either the windows, do you get an option to view print queue?
[05:19] <scottj> quickbrownfox: in irssi the input text area is separated from chat log by statusbars.
[05:19] <ghostnik11> kevdog, no i don't get option to view print queue, to see what jobs are active i must go to show
[05:20] <quickbrownfox> scottj, okay. But is there any way to customize the input text area in xchat besides having it match the chat log in colours and font?
[05:20] <kevdog> ghostnik11: No option to restart the job, reset the queue, reconnect printer, etc?
[05:20] <terminhell> ello ello
[05:20] <ghostnik11> kevdog, also the other command gets the same response -pcanon is not implemented by the cups version of lpc
[05:20] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Ok forget that command then.
[05:21] <scottj> quickbrownfox: like what?
[05:21] <ghostnik11> kevdog, nope, no option like that but in my thinkpad there are such options
[05:21] <quickbrownfox> scottj, anything to make it more minimal. Having it get rid of my username on the left for one.
[05:21] <quickbrownfox> Removing the bars that seperate it from the chat log would be SUPER. Getting rid of the modify text button on the right.
[05:22] <scottj> quickbrownfox: don't know, there's probably an xchat channel
[05:22] <terminhell> just use irssi :p
[05:23] <monkeybox> terminhell: +1
[05:23] <quickbrownfox> I've used the cygwin version of it. It just looks like hell with bug.n so
[05:23] <ome> weechat-curses FTW.
[05:23] <quickbrownfox> Also, it felt kind of broken.
[05:23] <ActionParsnip> pidgin!
[05:24] <ome> btw, I am still looking for apt index files location, or a way to refoce reload them.
[05:24] <terminhell> irssi is like reading the matrix, after a while you dont even see the join/exit errata
[05:24] <foobArrr> netcat!
[05:26] <kevdog> ghnostnik11: Are you sure within your browser http://localhost:631/admin doesnt do anything?
[05:26] <ghostnik11> kevdog, well just now it did something gave me options to add printer and other stuff
[05:27] <ghostnik11> kevdog, should i search for printer? using that link?
[05:28] <ghostnik11> kevdog, when i go to manage jobs, all the jobs in the link say aborted can't get host name
[05:29] <kevdog> Can you add a printer?  Yes once again try it
[05:29] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Ok I'm thinking then when I set up the last printer maybe I should try with the socket method
[05:30] <ghostnik11> kevdog, its asking for a user name and password should i go ahead with this method or wait for socket method
[05:31] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Just type in your username and password -- it worked for me but I'm the only user on the computer
[05:31] <ghostnik11> kevdog, okay so after putting in my username and password it doesn't show my printer
[05:32] <ActionParsnip> ghostnik11: if you make a fresh user, is it ok there?
[05:32] <ghostnik11> kevdog, it shows no discovered printer
[05:33] <kevdog> ghostnik11: So same damm problem
[05:34] <kevdog> ghostnik11: sudo lpadmin -x Canon
[05:34] <kevdog> ghostnik11: This will remove what we setup earlier
[05:35] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Try this...
[05:35] <ghostnik11> kevdog, just ran command and removed it
[05:35] <tester3> test1

[05:36] <tester2> test2
[05:36] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Now what happens when you try to print test page
[05:37] <tester3> test1
[05:37] <ghostnik11> kevdog, okay ran command and it readded printer will try test page
[05:38] <tester2> test2
[05:39] <kevdog> quit with the damn tests
[05:40] <ghostnik11> kevdog, still doesn't print, it just says printing job held in gui
[05:40] <terminhell> right, stop troubleshooting. best way to do it
[05:40] <kevdog> ghostnik11: What does the http interface say?
[05:40] <willfrand> hola, que tal
[05:41] <Dulak> !es | willfrand
[05:42] <willfrand> hola, que tal, tengo un equipo con procesador amd k6, alguien puede recomendarme una distro que corra bien en el? le metí el cd de linux 10.10 y me sale This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU : cmov      Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropiate for your CPU alguien puede ayudarme?
[05:43] <ghostnik11> http interface says not printer detected when i tell it to find new printer and when i go to add it shows this: http://imagebin.org/205462
[05:43] <trollzor> .-.
[05:43] <ghostnik11> kevdog, http interface says not printer detected when i tell it to find new printer and when i go to add it shows this: http://imagebin.org/205462
[05:45] <ghostnik11> kevdog, when i check jobs in http, it says printer is busy but its been busy for 7 mins now, i don't get it, its like an error occurs when i tell it to print, could it be due to gnome 3
[05:46] <user1> hi, pgadminIII error: passwd authentication failed for user "postgres" in ubuntu 10.04 server, pls help me..
[05:46] <ActionParsnip> willfrand: seems the K6 is an i586 CPU which isn't supported by the kernel
[05:47] <kevdog> ghostnik11: I'm drawing blanks on this one --
[05:48] <kevdog> ghostnik11: under add printer what does it do if you choose ipp?
[05:49] <ghostnik11> kevdog, it just puts ipp then tells me to put location
[05:49] <ghostnik11> kevdog,  i think i am going to just accept the fact that the printer doesn't like the compaq and thats why it doesn't work
[05:50] <ghostnik11> kevdog, you just can't mix oil and water and this is that case because the thinkpad works well in ubuntu 11.10 with the printer but the compaq doesn't
[05:51] <kevdog> ghostnik11: want to try another driver?
[05:52] <ghostnik11> kevdog, no its okay bro, thanks for all your help, i have to head into city tomorrow
[05:52] <kevdog> ghostik11: will take less than 3 min, but do whatever you need to
[05:52] <ghostnik11> kevdog, okay lets try it, i just think the compaq is not compatible with the printer
[05:53] <kevdog> ghostnik11: sudo lpadmin -x Canon
[05:53] <ghostnik11> kevdog, okay it removed it

[05:57] <CFHowlett> user1   beyond my area of expertise.  sorry.  Be patient and ask the channel after 15 minutes.  Also ask in #ubuntu-server
[05:58] <ghostnik11> kevdog, that worked will try a test page now
[05:58] <kevdog> ghostnik11: If that doesn't work, we'll try one more and then call it quits
[05:59] <terminhell> brun0l3z: I think you have more to worry about than browser proxy's
[05:59] <ghostnik11> kevdog, didn't work and the last test print i tried even though we erased this same printer and added it again came back once we added it again
[06:00] <kevdog> We can try another name like this:
[06:00] <Braden`> Is there really a known bug with ip aliases with Ubuntu 11.10?

[06:00] <Braden`> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1870364
[06:01] <ghostnik11> kevdog, added it and then told it to print and went straight to print job being held
[06:01] <brun0l3z> HELLLLLLLLLLLLLO how does alibaba.com know that i am using tor and keep blocking my accounts?
[06:02] <Xabster> brun0l3z, this is #ubuntu - did you join the wrong channel?
[06:02] <CFHowlett> brun0l3z   ask in #tor
[06:02] <terminhell> brun0l3z: MAC address?
[06:02] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Here is my last bit of advice since I'm really striking out on this one and I'm just making random swings, on the computer that works, look at the /etc/cups/printers.conf file and just either copy this file or make the necessary corrections to the current file.  You want them to be the same (at least I think you do except for maybe the UUID line)
[06:04] <ghostnik11> kevdog, here is the thing i can't get the thinkpad on which is the computer that works because battery burned out and charger melted on its own after 6 years of use, thats why i had to switch to this backup laptop thats a compaq
[06:04] <brun0l3z> terminhell you have an idea there
[06:04] <kevdog> ghostnik11: also check /var/log/syslog like tail -50 /var/log/syslog for any clues
[06:04] <brun0l3z> I am using Backtrack 5 and can change my mac easily
[06:05] <kevdog> ghostnik11: You're killin' me smalls!
[06:05] <CFHowlett> brun0l3z   backtrack isn't supported here.
[06:05] <ghostnik11> kevdog, i have just accepted it, i need to go drop the cash on a new laptop or  netbook
[06:06] <kevdog> ghostnik11: Maybe -- I'm out on this one
[06:06] <ghostnik11> kevdog, yo i am going to call it quits, thanks for the help bro, you worked your hardest but this compaq just sucks
[06:06] <ghostnik11> kevdog, thanks again for all the help
[06:07] <kevdog> ghostnik11: I'm off to bed, see ya
[06:07] <ghostnik11> Kevdog, take care bro me too
[06:15] <lewis> hi
[06:15] <CFHowlett> lewis   greetings
[06:16] <uBUXUBu> i wonder why it takes so long to pull up programs in unity-frsh install, dual core, 2g ram?
[06:17] <uBUXUBu> i like it but i gotta admit its slow
[06:17] <dr-willis> 'pull up programs' means?
[06:17] <uBUXUBu> apps i should say
[06:17] <dr-willis> 'pull up' means....
[06:17] <l_r> heh
[06:17] <uBUXUBu> like i search, find an app i like click on it and...wait
[06:18] <uBUXUBu> app, program, built in software whatever the frick u like to call it sheez
[06:18] <uBUXUBu> click....wait....app appears
[06:18] <uBUXUBu> sometimes 3-5 seconds even
[06:19] <dr-willis> i understand the term app. just not clear on what you ment by pull up.. aparently you mean 'launch'
[06:19] <uBUXUBu> ok launch
[06:20] <dr-willis> if you launch the same app a second time. is it much faster
[06:20] <uBUXUBu> my cpu is not being stessed nor is my ram anywhere near used up i wonder why its so slow at launching an application
[06:20] <uBUXUBu> yes the 2nd time it is cahced i suppose
[06:21] <uBUXUBu> cached
[06:21] <dr-willis> that points to hd speeds being the issue.
[06:21] <uBUXUBu> hmmm
[06:21] <uBUXUBu> well it is a 5400rpmmmer
[06:22] <uBUXUBu> but its a duallshooter and we all know how slow vista is and it doesnt pull apps up as slow
[06:22] <dr-willis> hd's are the main bottleneck these days
[06:22] <uBUXUBu> but u know...i like unity enough that ill put up with it
[06:22] <uczen> hi
[06:22] <uBUXUBu> maybe ill but a lil ssd
[06:23] <CFHowlett> uczen   greetings
[06:23]  * uBUXUBu offers uczen  some celery...
[06:23] <uczen> whats up?
[06:24] <uBUXUBu> is there a ubuntu managemt or ubuntu developers chaannel?
[06:24] <CFHowlett> uBUXUBu   #ubuntu-devel
[06:24] <uBUXUBu> ok ty
[06:25] <uBUXUBu> i just cant get over how nice this new ubuntu is
[06:26] <uBUXUBu> those old desktops looked terrible compared to this
[06:26] <dr-willis> mi3:  keep it in the channel please
[06:27] <mi3> ok dr-willis
[06:27] <phy1729> Is it possible to use pam to check password requirements on login not on password change?
[06:30] <mi3> I have a particular scenario, I have a dual boot system [ubuntu and xp], now xp aint working nicely[which I always expect when I come on windows]. so I wanna remove xp. The thing is, the boot.ini file of xp is on C drive and the actual Windows directories and the Program files are on E, so how can I remove the E drive and also the grub menu entry of xp?
[06:30] <Upl1nk> hi
[06:31] <dr-willis> delete/repartion the widows partitions and rerun update-grub
[06:31] <CFHowlett> mi3   as far as grub entries, just reinstall grub after you kill windows.  No windows =  no grub entry for windows
[06:31] <dr-willis> you are not using wubi are you?
[06:31] <CFHowlett> uplink greetings
[06:32] <mi3> and what about that windows partition? should I just format it?
[06:32] <dr-willis> or resize the linux parts over it
[06:32] <CFHowlett> mi3 you can use gparted for that...
[06:33] <Upl1nk> @noosh you should perform a clean install of ubuntu, itś easier... if possible
[06:33] <noosh> lol
[06:33] <mi3> thanks CFHowlett dr-willis
[06:33] <lotuspsychje> and loose the windows :p
[06:33] <CFHowlett> mi3   have fun / be safe
[06:33] <Upl1nk> of course
[06:33] <mi3> heres another thing that came to my mind
[06:34] <mi3> I wanna re install xp[I cant live without games], so when we install xp, the grub loader is removed, right? Is there any other way to recover it from windows?[I know boot-repair is the easy way]
[06:35] <dr-willis> !fixgrub
[06:35] <dr-willis> windows has tools to reinstall the windows mbr
[06:35] <joint> hello

[06:35] <mi3> I want linux I want linux[cant live without linux also]
[06:36] <joint> its not my fault. i forgot i was in nazi germany
[06:36] <Upl1nk> well im not sure but maybe the wubi can help you

[06:36] <joint> please.. forgive me
[06:36] <BPADHEE> m having problem with libreoffice, pl help
[06:36] <josten> I downloaded GParted and looked at my partitions.  I installed ubuntu 11.10 from the Ubuntu Unleashed 2012 Edition book that covers 11.10 and 12.04.  Why is there a ntfs partition?  Window XP Pro finds it, but there is nothing on the drive.  Seems windows slowed down.  I have 2 identical hd's.
[06:36] <mi3> so, after installing windows, to save linux, i will need boot-repair....
[06:36] <Gere> Pls guy I need your help I lost my file in ubuntu any one can help me
[06:37] <dr-willis> mi3 reinstall the grub bootloader
[06:38] <dr-willis> Gere:  clarify the issue

[06:38] <BuisSse> is there a way I can remove all compiling related software after i have completed installing the application?
[06:39] <BuisSse> e.g uninstall build-essential
[06:39] <mi3> thanks for refreshing and giving me some new tips, dr-willis
[06:39] <mi3> thanks for refreshing and giving me some new tips, dr-willis
[06:39] <Upl1nk> @Gere http://content.hccfl.edu/pollock/Unix/FindCmd.htm -> open terminal a use command find
[06:39] <noosh> sudo apt-get remove <package>  I think
[06:40] <dr-willis> most apps need more then just 'build-essential' to compile
[06:40] <Gere> Ok I had  one folder in Desktop file name is Desktop there was a lot of file in side the folder Desktop always I made hide when  leave from my office{mv Desktop .Desktop} today i couldn't open my folder
[06:40]  * mi3 thinks, dont some people receive a "welcome" when someone thanks them?
[06:40] <dr-willis> its easier to install meta packages.. then to remove all they pull in.
[06:41] <dr-willis> Gere:  so your stuff is in the .Desktop dir?
[06:42] <noosh> mi3: how do you "think"? in irc?
[06:42] <BPADHEE> m having problem with libreoffice, pl help
[06:42] <Gere> Now in my Desktop the is no any type of file
[06:42] <rbrooks> mi3, i usu dont, but now i may
[06:42] <rbrooks> thank you
[06:43] <BPADHEE> m having problem with libreoffice, pl help
[06:43] <BuisSse> for me the disk space is an issue
[06:43] <mi3> welcome[for no apparent reason]
[06:43] <rbrooks> :D
[06:43] <BuisSse> build-essential install uses up around 68MB
[06:43] <dr-willis> why would you be  moving desktop around ayway...
[06:43] <mi3> did I help you in any way, rbrooks ?
[06:43] <BuisSse> remove strips off only some KB
[06:43] <noosh> BPADHEE: whats the problem?
[06:43] <rbrooks> yeah you made me re-consider that i may be rude
[06:44] <maximilius> BuisSse: i would go manually through the list of installed packages with aptitude e.g. and kick off those which you dont need
[06:45] <maximilius> BuisSse: there is also a dpkg.log in /var/log somewhere that should provide info which packages were installed for your compiling
[06:45] <maximilius> (i hopethere still is)
[06:45] <BuisSse> thanks
[06:45] <Guest52936> hello, i need a package manager that when i uninstall a software it uninstall all the dependencies it installed before
[06:45] <josten> why do I have a ntfs partition on my unbuntu drive?
[06:45] <AndroUser> Hithere
[06:46] <dr-willis> josten:  windows leftover.. delete it if its empty
[06:46] <Upl1nk> Guest52936 install aptitude
[06:46] <mrcellfizh> yeah but i need one with a gui
[06:46] <foobArrr> Guest52936: apt-get autoremove
[06:47] <josten> dr-willis: I've reinstalled ubuntu several times by default settings.  WinXP keeps finding it, but it's just a blank drive.
[06:47] <Gere> dr-willis even the trash folder i couln't see where can i fine
[06:47] <mrcellfizh> well thanks anyway
[06:48] <Gere> dr-willis:  even the trash folder i couln't see where can i find it ?
[06:48] <dr-willis> josten:  so... delete it and resize the linux partitions.
[06:49] <josten> dr-willis: windows has never been on that drive.  Mandriva was on before.  Both drive are identical.  I have something like 14 partitions.
[06:49] <dr-willis> Gere:  look in your home with a file manager, try the find command and ls -R output.
[06:49] <Upl1nk> mrcellfizh  Synaptic Package Manager maybe?
[06:49] <dr-willis> josten:  14? sounds rather disorganized. and perhapes a confused partition layout.
[06:50] <dr-willis> time to go do my real job. bbl
[06:51] <josten> dr-willis: I used the default rather than /, /home, /swap
[06:51] <Upl1nk> @mrcellfizh  Synaptic Package Manager maybe?

[07:07] <ActionParsnip> Krasik: #ubuntu+1 for precise support
[07:08] <Krasik> okay, thanks!
[07:08] <rajarshi> with  java -jar filename.jar it said faild to load manifest attribute
[07:08] <mtrd_> Hello, i'm running ubuntu and tried to follow this page, because i had a program going wild. Now my desktop has the folders from /home/user in it
[07:08] <rajarshi> wat to do now??
[07:08] <rajarshi> m using ubuntu 11.10
[07:08] <fidel> mtrd_: which page?
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> rajarshi: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[07:09] <mtrd_> fidel, http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ansys-meshing/94884-gambit-2-3-16-ubuntu-10-04-a.html from the villager
[07:09] <rajarshi> oneiric
[07:09] <mr-squidley> rajarshi: you'll find your may your missing dependency or the .jar is corrupt. Check everything is updated to latest version.
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> Mtrd: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[07:10] <mr-squidley> rajarshi: you'll find your may be missing dependency or the .jar is corrupt. Check everything is updated to latest version.  (terrible typing apologies)
[07:10] <rajarshi> wat r tthings i shud update now??
[07:10] <mtrd_> ActionParsnip, oneiric.
[07:10] <konaya> ibiwor, ah. Then the easiest way is simply to move all files over to /, remove the other partitions, and then resize / to fill the remaining space.
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> rajarshi: and the output of: java -version
[07:10] <mr-squidley> start with java mate and work your way through to your jar ActionParsnip has provided a good starting point
[07:10] <rajarshi> java version 1.6.0
[07:11] <xnixan> Hi, i had configure ubuntu 11.10 laptop to be as hotspot, but the problem, it is not visible to other devices !
[07:11] <rajarshi> 1.6-0-26
[07:11] <Krasik> okay
[07:11] <xnixan> any idea, what it might be?
[07:11] <Krasik> since 12.04 is having issues with my ATI, should I downgrade to 11.10?
[07:12] <dc5ala> rajarshi, starting program in a jar, you would do like this: java -jar program.jar
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> Krasik: you will need to reinstall
[07:12] <curiousx> Krasik: wich driver version do you have?
[07:12] <rajarshi> i did it..
[07:12] <Krasik> I'm not sure
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> mtrd_: www.simplehelp.net/2008/08/26/how-to-use-your-home-folder-as-your-desktop-in-ubuntu/
[07:13] <curiousx> Krasik: open the ATI manager
[07:13] <mtrd_> ActionParsnip, thank you! trying that.
[07:13] <rajarshi> it showd faild to load clas manifest
[07:13] <Krasik> not sure how
[07:13] <Krasik> new to this version of linux
[07:13] <Krasik> and I'm having issues down the xorg core driver
[07:13] <Krasik> well, I'm not in linux at the moment
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> rajarshi: could try installing Oracle Java
[07:13] <dc5ala> rajarshi, then there is something missing in the jar or wrong jar. What program is it?
[07:13] <ibiwor> konaya: You mean copy all the files/folders from /usr and /var to / an then delete /usr, /var. Later merge / with empty space?
[07:14] <rajarshi> emulator progrm
[07:14] <curiousx> well... if you dont downloaded and installed the lastest version from ATI so you should, i can help you with that
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> Krasik: precise isn't supported here til release day
[07:14] <konaya> ibiwor, pretty much.
[07:14] <Krasik> ah
[07:14] <Krasik> okay, thanks.
[07:15] <mr-squidley> the term beta software is missed often
[07:15] <konaya> ibiwor, you might need to reinstall grub afterwards, depending on how messed up your table was to begin with.
[07:15] <ibiwor> konaya: Okay :S

[07:16] <SugarCube> Hmm, if an Ubuntu Server installation is headless and being connected to via Vino, is there any way to change the screen resolution? All options are grayed out in System Settings -> Display. I'd rather not physically connect a monitor just for the option.
[07:16] <dc5ala> rajarshi, can you give me the link to it? My guess is, that something in the jar is broken, or not complete. E.g. missing the manifest file or with bad main class
[07:16] <konaya> ibiwor, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1893161

[07:16] <yoshie> ubuntu 64bit  helpe please, installed new 2TB WD hard drive sata , fresh install getting error ( NO BOOTABLE DEVICE -- INSERT BOOT DISK AND PRESS ANY KEY )
[07:17] <ibiwor> konaya: Secondly, I got ~5GB swap partition which I would like to delete. RAM is 6GB. In live mode, can I delete swap partition and create swap file following http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=87287a965e21a58edf4bb776a030542c&p=6520424&postcount=8 ?
[07:17] <mr-squidley> SugarCube: try xandr although i dont know if it will have much effect on your remote session although
[07:17] <bazhang> malkauns, checked the conky beginners guide yet?
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> yoshie: set the boot device as the internal drive in BIOS
[07:18] <malkauns> bazhang, yea but nothing works
[07:18] <bazhang> yoshie, is that the correct boot device? does not sound like a successful install if so
[07:18] <yoshie> ActionParsnip: any idea what im looking for in bios?
[07:18] <yoshie> bazhang: yeah it didnt show any errors, and this is the second cd i maid just to make sure
[07:18] <curiousx> sry Krasik: wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-2-x86.x86_64.run
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> yoshie: setting the hard drive as the primary boot devise
[07:19] <konaya> ibiwor, holy cow. Why on Earth did you feel the need to have 5GB of swap? :S
[07:19] <ibiwor> konaya: Sorry, 2GB*
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> curiousx: please support precise in #ubuntu+1 thanks
[07:19] <malkauns> bazhang, i tried "own_window_hints above" but it doesnt work
[07:19] <mtrd_> Hi again, it didn't work with gconf-editor, it always already checked out (e.g desktop != /home/user) i tried to set it, and then disable it, didn't work. any ideas ?
[07:19] <curiousx> ok
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> konaya: hibernate etc uses swap
[07:20] <konaya> ibiwor, and, to answer your question, yes you should. As long as you do swapoff /dev/<your swap partition> first
[07:20] <anthropos> is there any obvious reason why seahorse won't add passwords to any of my keyrings
[07:20] <yoshie> ActionParsnip: set hard drive as first boot device and still getting same error
[07:20] <Krasik> Curiousx: Thanks!
[07:20] <anthropos> they simply don't show up when I try to add them
[07:20] <konaya> ActionParsnip, ah, that explains it. I only use suspend, so I wouldn't know :)
[07:21] <ibiwor> konaya: Ok, so the first step before http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=87287a965e21a58edf4bb776a030542c&p=6520424&postcount=8 should be to do <swapoff swap-partition> ?
[07:21] <curiousx> Krasik: we have to go at #ubuntu+1
[07:21] <Krasik> Okay
[07:21] <konaya> ibiwor, yup. I suppose it goes without saying that you do this without a lot of processes in the background and so on and so forth.
[07:23] <konaya> ibiwor, also, don't forget to remove the old swap entry in /etc/fstab when you write the new entry. The ability to boot the system is quite handy to keep.
[07:23] <ibiwor> konaya: Yes. So I can first run swapoff command then uncomment the swap parition from fstab before following the above forum post, ok?
[07:23] <yoshie> ubuntu 64bit  help  please, installed new 2TB WD hard drive sata , fresh install getting error ( NO BOOTABLE DEVICE -- INSERT BOOT DISK AND PRESS ANY KEY )
[07:23] <konaya> ibiwor, I guess you meant comment. Otherwise, yes
[07:24] <disappearedng> Hey what is the possibility that an outgoing port (meaning I want my users to connect to my server at port 8888) being blocked?
[07:24] <ibiwor> konaya: Yea, comment* :)
[07:24] <bazhang> yoshie, no caps
[07:24] <konaya> yoshie, checked the BIOS for proper boot order and so on?
[07:24] <SugarCube> mr-squidley:  Woo, that worked with a little bit of trying. :)
[07:24] <konaya> bazhang, I think it was a verbatim quote
[07:25] <mr-squidley> SugarCube: this often do mate. First stop google i always say
[07:25] <yoshie> konaya: yes bios seems to be good
[07:25] <konaya> disappearedng, don't you mean incoming port in that case? From your point of view, that is
[07:25] <disappearedng> well I know my port won't be blocked for sure
[07:26] <disappearedng> I just wanna make sure that my user's port won't be blocked as well
[07:26] <konaya> yoshie, hm. Have you tried reinstalling GRUB from a Live CD?
[07:26] <disappearedng> wait how does connection accepting work. Let say there's A and B and if A wants to connect to B at port 8888 does A need to have some kind of unblocked port 8888?
[07:26] <SugarCube> Already went through the first two pages of Google results. Anyway, seems to be working now.
[07:26] <yoshie> konaya: no i have no, is there any way you can walk me threw that? im pretty new to linux
[07:27] <anthropos> disappearedng, when a remote computer tries to connect to your computer on port 8888, it can be blocked by you (e.g. if you have a firewall) or your isp (e.g. if they block traffic to this port)
[07:27] <anthropos> these are the most likely reasons it might be blocked
[07:27] <konaya> disappearedng, it is fairly uncommon for outgoing ports to be blocked willy-nilly. If you want to be totally sure, put the service on a port which is often used for other things
[07:27] <anthropos> i think he means incoming when he says outgoing
[07:27] <anthropos> since he's talking about his computer being a server and so on
[07:27] <disappearedng> konaya: I am just doing a beta launch, no biggie I doubt it will be blocked
[07:28] <anthropos> if you want to know if its likely to be blocked you can look what service is there by default
[07:28] <konaya> anthropos, he also could mean "is it common for corporate IT heads to fascistically block outgoing ports?" :)
[07:28] <CalvinMcGee> I have a thought on implementing a chat in our office. Like the functionality of Lotus Sametime connect. So you can see all the workers when they login and chat with them. What would be the best way of implementing that? I'm thinking about ejabberd xmpp-server, but have no experience of it. Any thoughts?
[07:28] <disappearedng> OK to clear confusion: A is a server, B is a client and needs to connect to A's port 8888. What's the chance that B cannot connect to A due to some firewall restriction or w/e
[07:29] <konaya> yoshie, in that case I'd need some background information. You bought a new drive, right? Did it replace your old drive or is the old drive still installed?
[07:29] <anthropos> check what service is normally on 8888, but i doubt its blocked.
[07:29] <disappearedng> what about universities?
[07:29] <anthropos> as konaya says, blocking outgoing ports is unusual
[07:29] <anthropos> occasionally isps will block traffic thats outgoing to port 25 and such
[07:30] <konaya> disappearedng, no universities worth going to blocks outgoing ports. Heck, my university doesn't block *incoming* ports, and we do not NAT :D
[07:30] <disappearedng> ok I will use something like 64k+
[07:30] <sveinse> I'm running natty and lately I'm always forced to run "sudo update-binfmts --enable qemu-arm" when I'm about to run armel code on intel. Is there a change in policy of late regarding this since it's constantly disabled?
[07:30] <disappearedng> ok that's a good enough sample thanks guys
[07:30] <yoshie> konaya: I had a 500gb hard drive in the computer before, so i took it out and upgraded to a 2TB , this is also a Intel pent mother board, so i only have the 2TB installed right now, the drive is brand new and works, i has no problem with windows 7 or with mandriva linux , it only has a problem with ubuntu and fedora.
[07:30] <anthropos> ports that will almost certainly not be blocked are https, etc.
[07:31] <anthropos> unless you live in iran or something.
[07:31] <konaya> yoshie, and you have installed Ubuntu on this new drive? (Sorry, need to ask)
[07:31] <anthropos> is it a gpt or msdos partition table
[07:31] <yoshie> konaya: yes the new drive has ubuntu installed, right now its booting up the live cd to get me to the live desktop
[07:32] <konaya> anthropos, port 22 outgoing is not blocked from China to Sweden, so I doubt Iran is any worse :P
[07:32] <anthropos> iran blocked https for awhile
[07:32] <konaya> Oh, really?
[07:32] <konaya> Silly.
[07:32] <bazhang> sveinse, tried in #ubuntu-arm ? your question seems it might get better answers there
[07:32] <anthropos> yeah, not presently, but back when there were demonstrations and so on
[07:32] <konaya> yoshie, which version, by the way?
[07:33] <yoshie> konaya: newest one 11.10  64 bit
[07:33] <bazhang> yoshie, single or dual boot, regular or Wubi
[07:33] <bazhang> yoshie, has it *ever* successfully booted on this new drive
[07:33] <yoshie> bazhang: single, dedicated all to ubuntu :)
[07:34] <yoshie> bazhang: successfully booted ubuntu? no, windows ? yes, mandriva? yes
[07:34] <konaya> yoshie, okay. I will privmsg you the commands so we do not spam the channel
[07:34] <bazhang> konaya, PM?
[07:35] <bazhang> yoshie, so there were others on there?
[07:35] <yoshie> bazhang: yes, however i formated and did a clean install of ubuntu
[07:35] <bazhang> yoshie, and you installed ubuntu and it has never successfully booted?
[07:35] <konaya> bazhang, on IRC it's privmsg or query, depending, but yeah same principle.
[07:35] <yoshie> bazhang: correct
[07:36] <bazhang> konaya, just wondering why you cannot share the instructions in channel here
[07:38] <Coke> Hi. I have a shell script in ~/bin/myscript.sh, is it possible to make it available when searching in "Home" and possibly put it in the launcher?
[07:38] <konaya> bazhang, I could, if you really want to?
[07:38] <konaya> I'm basically relaying whatever's in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[07:38] <Kotus> Coke, available?
[07:38] <Coke> Kotus: when I search for it, it's nowhere
[07:38] <mun> hi
[07:38] <mun> does anyone know how to check what model my motherboard is?
[07:38] <Coke> Kotus: I have made myscript.desktop in .local/share/appliactions
[07:39] <Coke> Kotus: it doesnt show up when searching nor can I put it in the launcher
[07:40] <Kotus> Coke, export PATH=$PATH:/home/name/bin i think
[07:40] <mun> nvm
[07:41] <fidel> mun: an easy way is usually to open up the box - in case you can access it ;)
[07:41] <mun> or, sudo dmidecode -t baseboard
[07:41] <fidel> ;)
[07:41] <Kotus> Coke, i dont think ~/bin/ gets included so you can add export PATH=.. to ~/.bash_profile ( or ~/.bashrc )
[07:42] <Kotus> Coke, if you don't understand do echo $PATH :)
[07:43] <Coke> Kotus: thats not what im asking for
[07:43] <Coke> Kotus: I'm asking to have it in the SEARCH when you press the ubuntu logo
[07:43] <Coke> the Home thingy or whatever you call it
[07:43] <Coke> Kotus: I also want to add it to the launcher on the left
[07:43] <Kotus> a
[07:43] <Coke> kortsi:  or are you telling me that everything in the launcher has to be available in PATH?
[07:43] <Kotus> i dont know
[07:43] <dreamsr> hello, i booted a pc with livecd. how do i edit and save files on pcs hard disk? livecd wont let me do it
[07:44] <Kotus> but in the terminal yes
[07:44] <Kotus> like a command
[07:44] <Coke> Kotus: but that's not what I want.
[07:44] <Kotus> yes i know
[07:44] <Coke> If I could decide how the world was run, unity wouldn't exist and everything would be done in terminals, but we live in a world where people want to click big shiny icons.
[07:45] <Kotus> you can drag it i think
[07:45] <elky> Coke, I'm glad I live in a world where you don't choose things for me.
[07:46] <ratan> join #lionit
[07:46] <spajderix> hi
[07:46] <Coke> Kotus: drag it from where?
[07:46] <Coke> Kotus: using what?
[07:46] <Kotus> file manager
[07:46] <Kotus> to unity panel
[07:47] <dreamsr> will somebody help me? its urgent
[07:47] <Kotus> dreamsr, did you mount them
[07:47] <dreamsr> it mounts as read only
[07:47] <Coke> Kotus: unfortunately, it doesnt show hidden dirs
[07:47] <Coke> or files
[07:47] <Kotus> i see
[07:47] <spajderix> I've updated firefox to 11 under 10.04 64bit and it does not load pages or display plugins/proxy settings, can anybody help me with that?
[07:48] <dreamsr> i guess i need help with mounting
[07:48] <Coke> Kotus: and my desktop file is in ~/.local/share/applications
[07:48] <Coke> (where someobody on some ubuntu forum said apps should go)
[07:48] <Kotus> sorry , i can't help you
[07:48] <Coke> So does anybody know how to make a custom .desktop file in the launcher or in a menu or ANYTHING in the UI?
[07:49] <Kotus> dreamsr, can you send me /etc/mtab
[07:49] <Mayazcherquoi> Hey guys. How can I confirm whether the swap partition is working or not? :S
[07:49] <faryshta> This is a more hardware related problem. My computer fan died. What to do?
[07:50] <Abhijit> Mayazcherquoi, system monitor?
[07:50] <lgx> just free -m
[07:50] <tonysanv> what's the downside of shutdown -n (skip init) ?
[07:50] <dreamsr> Kotus, i cant
[07:50] <dreamsr> i just need to know how to mount hd to write to it
[07:51] <dreamsr> and my problem is solved
[07:51] <Mayazcherquoi> Abhijit, Okay. Well, that just says "0 bytes". The reason why I query is because the partition type is listed as "unknown" :-/
[07:51] <Kotus> they should be mounted rw
[07:51] <Kotus> automatically
[07:51] <Kotus> are they ntfs?
[07:51] <dreamsr> they are ext3
[07:51] <Mayazcherquoi> Abhijit, And it isn't mounted
[07:52] <dreamsr> i f*d up with my fstab
[07:52] <dreamsr> so debian wont boot
[07:52] <dreamsr> i need to edit my fstab to fix it
[07:52] <Kotus> send the fstab
[07:52] <dreamsr> and livecd wont let save it
[07:52] <Kotus> it will, it will
[07:52] <lgx> Mayazcherquoi, you can't mount a swap part. just swapon it
[07:53] <Kotus> about that mtab
[07:53] <Coke> Kotus: for next time, here's how to do it http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/11/create-desktop-shortcuts-icons-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/
[07:53] <Coke> Kotus: you can then drag and drop
[07:53] <Kotus> ok!
[07:53] <Coke> I also had to manually remove the ubuntu one item from the messages menu.
[07:53] <Coke> I guess Ubuntu, just like Apple, is going for a non-customizable, software stack "buy our services now!" type of setup with unity.
[07:54] <Kotus> back to debian then~~
[07:54] <anthropos> to be fair, it's quire easy to switch to a different desktop environment
[07:54] <anthropos> i don't use unity
[07:54] <bazhang> !ot | Coke
[07:54] <Coke> anthropos: except I think the concepts of unity is good
[07:54] <tonysanv> unity is kinda suck...
[07:55] <anthropos> I don't personally care for it but I can see the value in what they are trying to achieve
[07:55] <Kotus> i use enlightenment
[07:55] <Coke> anthropos: however, it's a hazzle just to add your own program to the launcher and its a hazzle to remove what canonical is trying to push
[07:55] <anthropos> i just did sudo apt-get install gnome-shell and then logged out and back in
[07:55] <Kotus> maybe touchscreens are better for unity
[07:55] <fidel> anthropos: good point ;)
[07:56] <Coke> anthropos: same problem with Nokia
[07:56] <Kotus> what do you think > #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:56] <fidel> dont whine about preinstalled software - change them if you think they su**
[07:56] <mr-squidley> desktop and window managers are not permanent the beauty off linux is choice
[07:56] <Coke> It's as if everyone is looking at the billions of dollars Apple is making and thinking "AHA! So software stacking is better than usability and choice"
[07:56] <bazhang> lets get back to support; chit chat in the offtopic channel
[07:56] <bazhang> Coke, ?
[07:57] <Coke> im off anyways, have the launcher working with the help of gnome-panel
[07:57] <Coke> Kotus: i'd like to stay and chat, but got a meeting
[07:57] <Kotus> cya
[07:58] <faryshta> How can I repair a broken fan?
[07:58] <anthropos> if it's cooling something you care about, replace it
[07:58] <Abhijit> faryshta, ##hardware
[07:58] <bazhang> ##hardware faryshta
[08:00] <faryshta> Abhijit, bazhang thanks
[08:01] <Kotus> dreamsr, how is it going?
[08:03] <gridbag> i see how you can drag-drop an example.desktop file into the unity bar to install it.  how do you do that from the command-line?
[08:12] <Mayazcherquoi> Just wondering. In a VMWare virtual machine where you want the guest OS to install to a physical partition, it has complete access to the entire disk (and can see all partitions). If I install to an empty one, can that overwrite my bootloader, etc?
[08:14] <bazhang> Mayazcherquoi, you may want to confirm in #vmware , but I would suspect yes
[08:14] <Mayazcherquoi> bazhang, Yeah, I just realised that channel existed. I asked, but no response thus far :(
[08:15] <Jordan_U> Mayazcherquoi: I believe that VMWare only maps blocks from the partition you specify to the virtual machine, and creates fake (will only return zero, or a copy of the partition table) areas for everything else, but that is only a guess.
[08:15] <Mayazcherquoi> Jordan_U, Okay.
[08:16] <Mayazcherquoi> Jordan_U: I saw this: http://www.vmware.com/support/ws55/doc/ws_disk_raw_install_os.html - but not entirely sure what to make of it (my jargon dictionary may not interpret this correctly :-/)
[08:17] <elbrinke> Need help with running a .sh (shell) script as deamon… any assistance
[08:17] <medwards> Hey folks, is anyone else having problems with the latest compat-wireless release with the new kernel package?
[08:17] <elbrinke> the .sh script must run continue sly in the background
[08:18] <medwards> Wireless on my macbook pro 8,2 seems to cut out now. It says connected but no DNS requests work and I can't see signal strength for any other network
[08:19] <dr_willis> elbrinke:  make a different script that moitors ps output every min or so. and reruns the service...  is one way
[08:19] <elbrinke> ok, any other ways
[08:19] <dr_willis> probly a dozen other waysa
[08:19] <dr_willis> depends on the details
[08:20] <elbrinke> i searched google, but lots of non-helping articles
[08:20] <lgx> use upstart?
[08:21] <dr_willis> proper way would be to make an actual upstart .conf for it
[08:21] <elbrinke> upstart?
[08:21] <dr_willis> !upstart
[08:22] <dr_willis> what is this script doing exactly?
