[13:43] <Maddeth> jrib, thank you kindly
[13:44] <Rolk1> hi
[13:45] <BluesKaj> t0rn, maybe the #cups chat might have some admins , if you can't find an answer here.
[13:46] <ubuntu_> jrib, following these instructions, i cant mount my home dir
[13:46] <Maddeth> jrib, that gives me all the info i already know :) What are the actual lines in a standard ubuntu sources list?
[13:46] <ubuntu_> as I said, i've deleted .ecryptfs, so my data is lost?
[13:46] <t0rn> BluesKaj: I appreciate that, thanks
[13:46] <jrib> ubuntu_: presumably because of what you did before.  You shouldn't be mounting anything if you don't want an encrypted home
[13:46] <ljsoftnet> kontagious it didnt show anything
[13:46] <ROsmanov> Maddeth, http://paste.ubuntu.com/577460/
[13:47] <Maddeth> ROsmanov, thank you very much
[13:47] <jrib> ubuntu_: do you still have your data  in /home/.ecryptfs?
[13:50] <t0rn> Argg, I really can't find anyone to discuss this with.  Has anyone here integrated a CUPs ubuntu server with active directory?
[13:51] <ljsoftnet> how do i see my graphic card drivers?
[13:51] <Endafy> I hooked a new monitor to my computer, the card is an NVIDIA 6100, I want to set the resolution to 1600x900 I am running Ubuntu 10.10 with latest NVidia drivers
[13:52] <ljsoftnet> kontagious: how do i see my graphic card drivers?
[13:52] <ruan> ljsoftnet: nvidia or ati?
[13:52] <Endafy> it works in Windows just fine
[13:52] <ljsoftnet> ruan its an intel gma 3150
[13:52] <wn1zid> what is firefox missing when it wont load my banks page properly ??
[13:52] <Endafy> it is calling it a CRT when it is obviously an LED monitor
[13:53] <Fjodor> ljsoftnet: Have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log - as I said before
[13:53] <xgt001> hello
[13:54] <ljsoftnet> Fjodor in in Xorg.0.log but where can i find it, its a long page
[13:54] <Endafy> this is seriously bothersome
[13:54] <Endafy> it says "Monitor Unknown" how do I change it?
[13:55] <xgt001> i bought a new laptop and want to install ubuntu in it .. it has windows 7 preinstalled sadly i dint get a windows 7 install disc but a recovery partition instead pls sugegst how to install ubuntu keeping windows intact!
[13:55] <Rolk1> i need help! i have IBM T42. Then i make upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 my mouse and speakers stopped to work (sry for bad eng)
[13:55] <Endafy> xgt001, WUBI
[13:55] <ljsoftnet> Fjodor im in Xorg.0.log but where can i find it, its a long page
[13:55] <Fjodor> ljsoftnet: Search for "Module class: X.Org Video Driver". It's a few lines above that
[13:55] <Abhijit> wn1zid, bank? then ff may be missing some garbage monopolistic closed source thingies by ms. try using IE
[13:56] <Endafy> same issue on my t42, just use latest 10.10
[13:56]  * Abhijit slaps himself for recommending IE
[13:56] <ruan> lol IE
[13:56] <wn1zid> maybe, but ff works in xp, and, opera on ubuntu does also
[13:56] <ruan> chromium
[13:56] <Rolk1> thx
[13:56] <wn1zid> weird
[13:56] <xgt001> Endafy:i heard wubi is slowr than original install
[13:56] <Rolk1> i am trying to upgrade to 10.04
[13:57] <Endafy> its also 100% safer
[13:57] <xgt001> i want to perform partitioning without losing any thing
[13:57] <xgt001> pls help
[13:57] <Endafy> then backup
[13:57] <Endafy> buy a disk from Microsoft for $15USD
[13:57] <ruan> you'll need to partition from livecd
[13:57] <Abhijit> !gparted | xgt001
[13:58] <xgt001> Abhijit: i tried gparted
[13:58] <Endafy> repartitioning is always risky business
[13:58] <ljsoftnet> Fjodor there's two of them what should i look for?
[13:58] <ruan> xgt001: did you do it from disk?
[13:58] <Endafy> make sure you have all your stuff backed up in a secure location
[13:58] <Fjodor> Endafy: WUBI can be bothersome if the ntfs on which the fs file resides on gets corrupted by unclean shutdown...
[13:58] <ruan> partitioning on a mounted volume will _not_ work
[13:58] <ruan> i believe
[13:58] <Abhijit> xgt001, whats wrong then?
[13:58] <Endafy> Fjodor, not an issue with Windows 7
[13:58] <xgt001> it says that i cant create another primary partition as that freaking HP guys already somehw created 4 primary partitions :(
[13:59] <Endafy> if an unclean shutdown happens you simply scandisk it and it fixes it
[13:59] <ruan> xgt001: did you do it from disk?
[13:59] <Fjodor> ljsoftnet: The second one
[13:59] <xgt001> ruan: i tried from life cd
[13:59] <xgt001> it gave me tat prompt
[13:59] <Endafy> you have 2 options
[13:59] <Endafy> 1, buy a disk from Microsoft
[13:59] <Endafy> or 2
[13:59] <Endafy> use Wubi
[13:59] <dr00b> or 3
[13:59] <Rolk1> i need gnucap in .deb
[14:00] <ruan> why buy a disk from microsoft?
[14:00] <Endafy> because it is illegal to download it
[14:00] <Fjodor> Endafy: Well, I had a friend use it, although under Vista, and scandisk corrupted the fs file after starting after the unclean shutdown...
[14:00] <ruan> you can buy a 16gb usb and backup all of your data on there
[14:00] <ruan> or larger
[14:00] <Endafy> lol @ vista
[14:00] <ljsoftnet> Fjodor is this the one im looking for         Module vesa: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.7.6, module version = 2.3.0
[14:01] <Rolk1> ******* win
[14:01] <Fjodor> ljsoftnet: Then that would mean that you are using the "vesa" driver
[14:01] <xgt001> @ALL : can u guys tell me wat are the differences especially regarding performance of  a clean install and a wubi install
[14:01] <Rolk1> win is ******* ************ ******** ********** ***** ********** *********** ********
[14:01] <ROsmanov> Rolk1, instead of make install, checkinstall it, then dpkg -i your.deb
[14:01] <ljsoftnet> Fjodor is it a good driver?
[14:01] <kothaguy_ubuntu> hi friends
[14:02] <jpds> Rolk1: Hello.
[14:02] <Endafy> xgt001, its not generally performance, but more of unclean shutdown issues with old NTFS 5.1
[14:02] <Endafy> but with Windows 7 it is NTFS 5.2 and they have fixed the issue
[14:02] <Fjodor> ljsoftnet: It's rather basic, but I don't really know which one you could use alternatively. I have only used nvidia and ati cards...
[14:02] <Rolk1> gnucap
[14:02] <Fjodor> ljsoftnet: You could try asking in #xorg
[14:03] <ljsoftnet> Fjodor ok thanks
[14:03] <Endafy> does ANYONE know how to correctly configure a new monitor? this is seriously miffing me off
[14:03] <kothaguy_ubuntu> i have an issue with my hard disk,today i formatted my 160gb harddisk into three parts,1st drive is 70 gb,second one 25 gb,and the third one is 25 gb,from the first one i am unable to do copy/paste into 2nd and third drives which are mounted,i mountd them with extrenally
[14:03] <xgt001> Endafy: if i create a backup of recovery partition
[14:03] <xgt001> on a pendrive
[14:03] <Abhijit> !dualhead | Endafy
[14:03] <Endafy> that wont work
[14:03] <Endafy> ty
[14:04] <Endafy> there are special boot sectors for PC Angel
[14:04] <xgt001> how about creating the image of recovery partition
[14:04] <[TK]D-Fender> Endafy: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/error-enabling-1600x900@60hz-resolution-in-xorg-conf-762836/
[14:04] <ljsoftnet> Fjodor i did this code lspci -nn | grep vga          will it hurt my system?
[14:04] <Endafy> [TK]D-Fender, you are amazing KISSES*
[14:04] <Rolk1> hi
[14:04] <Endafy> well if you know how to image your HDD just do it
[14:04] <xgt001> and then moving to the base partition so that  i can use that space for ubuntu install?
[14:05] <Fjodor> ljsoftnet: No, it merely lists what pci cards are in the system, and then limits the output to lines containg "VGA" - ie you graphics card
[14:05] <ROsmanov> Rolk1, what's about Oregano?
[14:05] <ljsoftnet> Fjodor ok thanks man
[14:05] <Fjodor> ljsoftnet: No problem :-)
[14:05] <Endafy> use Acronis or something, image your HDD and simply try Linux
[14:06] <AStyx> I have a Pen that has been driven. Question, why should i use Ubuntu when i have someone to drive my pen?
[14:06] <kothaguy_ubuntu> hi friends,what is the difference between mounting an harddrive externally and mounting an harddrive internally?
[14:06] <Abhijit> !ot | AStyx
[14:07] <BluesKaj> kothaguy_ubuntu, the hdd location
[14:07] <flax^_> When i was running arch two-finger scrolling worked out of the box but under ubuntu the option is greyed out. Is there an easy way to enable it? I've found a tutorial on how to set up the two-finger emulation manually but I would like an easier way (ubuntu 10.10, asus eeepc 1001px)
[14:07] <jnlsnl_> anyone here use kTimeTracker?
[14:07] <jnlsnl_> i want to add a custom time to a new task
[14:07] <coz_> jnlsnl_,  I do not  but did you ask about it in #kubuntu?
[14:08] <Endafy> flax^_, a lot of things seem to work in Arch that don't in Ubuntu
[14:08] <Endafy> lol
[14:08] <Endafy> I use kTimeTracker on Gnome whats your question jnlsnl_
[14:09] <kothaguy_ubuntu> BluesKaj, :i have dev/sda1, dev/sda3 ,dev/sda4 three drives, i am unable to do copy/paste the contents of sda1 to remaining two,what is the problem,how to do them,i want to keep  my some important folders into second and third drives
[14:09] <jnlsnl_> Endafy i want to add time to a new task
[14:09] <AStyx> kothaguy_ubuntu, sudo chmod -fR 777 /mount/point
[14:09] <JessD> Does anyone know of a way to set Ubuntu to peform a script whenver one connects to a particular wireless access point ssid?  Kind of like udev for wireless...
[14:10] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, df -h
[14:10] <BluesKaj> kothaguy_ubuntu, those look like partitions , not separate harddrives
[14:10] <CiSense> hey guys ... error while loading shared libraries: libz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[14:10] <Endafy> jnlsnl_, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/574820
[14:10] <Endafy> its a pain in the rear end, but it works
[14:10] <Endafy> I keep this bookmarked lol
[14:11] <hedin> Hi, i'm looking for a pastebin server app... does the ubuntu repos have such an app?
[14:11] <kothaguy_ubuntu> BluesKaj, :sorry,yes they are partitions,i want to move my imp folders to other two partitions,what should i want to do?
[14:11] <Endafy> I miss PIM
[14:11] <jrib> JessD: do you mind a roundabout way of learning how to do that?
[14:11] <JessD> jrib : As long as it's not a cron job, nope, I'm game.
[14:11] <jnlsnl_> Endafy damn, do you know of any other time tracking programs?
[14:12] <jrib> JessD: here's how to load iptables rules when networkmanager connects: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo#Configuration%20on%20Startup%20for%20NetworkManager You can probably google /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d and get some official docs
[14:12] <MonkeyDust> hedin: yes, pastebin and python-pastebin
[14:12] <jrib> JessD: by the way, wicd has a gui option for this
[14:12] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, i got filesystem info with that command,what should i do
[14:12] <[TK]D-Fender> hedin: That is just a web-script, not an "app"
[14:12] <BluesKaj> kothaguy_ubuntu, do the partitions show up in  nautilus/places ? if so then you should be able to copy from one partiion to the other if you have permissions setup to do so.
[14:12] <[TK]D-Fender> hedin: Go download the source from pastebin.com or something
[14:13] <hedin> [TK]D-Fender, okay
[14:13] <JessD> jrib : reading....
[14:13] <b0ot> I used to be able to install asterisk for the ubuntu software center but it doesn't look like it is there anymore... where did it go?
[14:13] <[TK]D-Fender> hedin: It is easy to use...
[14:13] <Endafy> gnome has nothing
[14:13] <Endafy> you can install old PIM
[14:13] <kothaguy_ubuntu> BluesKaj, :yes they are shown in places,as drive 1 and drive 2,i mounted both them,but i cant copy/paste
[14:14] <Endafy> old PIM works wonders
[14:14] <AStyx> as i said kothaguy_ubuntu, lack of premission
[14:14] <Endafy> jnlsnl_, either that or scrap KDE 4.x altogether and use http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/
[14:15] <jrib> JessD: interesting info as well: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RoamingProfilesWithNetworkManager
[14:15] <Endafy> KDE 3.5.12 is amazing I have it on my laptop
[14:15] <JessD> jrib : On the Network Manager front, since the rule activates on Nic start, I'm assuming I could check the SSID in the script and act based on result?  Or does it fire before association completes?
[14:15] <ubuntu_> jrib: no, i haven't .ecryptfs folder there, becouse i've deleted it
[14:15] <kothaguy_ubuntu> astyx:how to set permission,i am the root
[14:15] <damian> 侯？
[14:15] <gnome> Sound comes out both headphones and speakers.
[14:15] <gnome> alsamixer was no help.
[14:16] <jrib> JessD: yes, that was my original thought.  Though it seems some arguments are passed to the script as well, maybe that's helpful.  As for, when it fires, I'm not sure
[14:16] <Endafy> brb need to reboot
[14:17] <b0ot> [TK]D-Fender, Do you know why asterisk isn't showing up int the Ubuntu Software center any more?
[14:17] <JessD> jrib : I'll give it a whack; failing that, I'll take a look at wicd.  Thanks for the help!
[14:17] <[TK]D-Fender> b0ot: No.  Did you look in synaptic?
[14:17] <kothaguy_ubuntu> AStyx, :can you help me to set permissions as root to my two partitions
[14:18] <AStyx> have you tride to copy and paste as root kothaguy_ubuntu ?
[14:18] <jrib> JessD: « man NetworkManager » seems to describe dispatcher.d as well
[14:18] <hedin> [TK]D-Fender, it doesn't seems like the pastebin.com code is FOSS
[14:19] <kothaguy_ubuntu> AStyx, :yes by typing sudo nautilus,and getting root permission i tried,but i am unable to do copy/paste
[14:19] <gnome> Sound comes out both headphones and speakers.
[14:19] <gnome> any help
[14:19] <v3ctor> hedin: try http://sourceforge.net/projects/openpastebin/
[14:19] <jrib> JessD: seems like when the "up" action is passed to the script it also passes information about dhcp, so should be ok for you
[14:20] <b0ot> [TK]D-Fender, They have it in synaptic... it is an old version, but it should do what I need it to do
[14:20] <AStyx> kothaguy_ubuntu, have you mounted the partitisions correctly? is it ntfs or what filesystem?
[14:20] <ruan> is network manager needed for the internet to work, or will it work without it? (ethernet connection)
[14:20] <K4k> gnome: open up terminal and type "alsamixer" check to see if there is an "MM" under it, if not, arrow over to speaker and press the "m" key on your keyboard to mute the speakers?
[14:20] <kothaguy_ubuntu> AStyx, :how to check that,i am new guy to ubuntu,i dont know how to check
[14:20] <thenoob> can any1 tell me how to get a virtual keyboard up on ubuntu that is in russian, so i can practice?
[14:21] <jrib> ubuntu_: are you sure you deleted it.  I didn't ask for your ".ecryptfs folder".  Nor did I ask about your ~/.ecrypfts.  I specifically asked about /home/.ecryptfs.  This is NOT in your user's home directory
[14:21] <JessD> jrib : Yep, doesn't have SSID, but I can use search domain on the nework I'm conencting to as a differentiator.  That should do.
[14:21] <AStyx> kothaguy_ubuntu, try to copy in terminal, cp /mount/point/file into your homedir and from your homedir onto another partitision
[14:22] <nn102400> gnome, what does lspci say about your sound card ?
[14:22] <jrib> JessD: ok, there should be some way to obtain ssid.  Maybe with iwconfig?  Not on the laptop at the moment to test. For a script I had with wicd, I just used dbus, so you could hack something together like that for network manager as well (but I am sure there is a better way, like with iwconfig maybe)
[14:22] <ruan> is network manager needed for internet to function? (ethernet connection, no dhcp)
[14:22] <jrib> ruan: no
[14:22] <ruan> jrib: ok, thanks
[14:22] <nn102400> ruan, no, it is not required but it makes life easy ..
[14:22] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, Alt + F2 -- gnome-terminal
[14:23] <ROsmanov> type: df -h
[14:23] <JessD> jrib : iwconfig does indeed do the job
[14:23] <ruan> well, i've never used it due to the fact that i use eth0
[14:23] <blizzi> hi, any idea where the ssh log files are stored?
[14:23] <blizzi> I need to see who's been trying to login
[14:23] <jrib> blizzi: /var/log/auth.log will tell you
[14:23] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, :i know how to open a terminal
[14:23] <ubuntu_> jrib, i have only a link in /home/myusername/.ecryptfs
[14:23] <[TK]D-Fender> hedin: Yeah, I have an older version.... looks like they stoppe dsharing it
[14:23] <t0rn> shouldn't they be in var logs
[14:23] <blizzi> jrib, that file doesn't exist
[14:23] <jrib> ubuntu_: what is the output of: ls -l /home/ecryptfs
[14:23] <nn102400> ruan, if you kill network manager, which may be necessary if your not using the gnome interface. you have to manually set up networking via config files
[14:23] <jrib> ubuntu_: what is the output of: ls -l /home/.ecryptfs
[14:23] <t0rn> labeled secure
[14:23] <[TK]D-Fender> hedin: Google up "free pastbin web script" or similar and you'll find a ton pretty quick
[14:24] <ruan> nn102400: why?
[14:24] <jrib> blizzi: are you sure?
[14:24] <ruan> nn102400: i never needed to set it up
[14:24] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, just to make clear what I mean about df -h
[14:24] <ubuntu_> jrib: drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2011-02-03 21:41 lost+found
[14:24] <ubuntu_> dr-x------ 3 1000 1000  4096 2011-03-08 13:20 szymon
[14:24] <jrib> ubuntu_: then I guess you have it after all.
[14:24] <ruan> nn102400: note that i'm using ethernet
[14:24] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, just check if the devices are mounted and where
[14:24] <jrib> ubuntu_: just recreate the symlink in your home pointing there
[14:25] <kothaguy_ubuntu> astyx,ROsmanov: by using gksudo nautilus,i can copy/paste now,every time i want to do like this only,how can i give them root permission?
[14:25] <MyLynx> hi there, how can I configure the Kmail to notify me if i have new messages?
[14:25] <nn102400> ruan, Network managers job is to stream line networking and make it easy. It basically handels all network interfaces. If you take out Network manager from loading at boot up. The system reverts back to manual ( config file ) networking.
[14:25] <ubuntu_> jrib, ls /home/szymon:
[14:25] <hedin> [TK]D-Fender, thanks... i'm setting up openpaste atm.
[14:26] <ruan> nn102400: my network doesn't need handling though
[14:26] <AStyx> kothaguy_ubuntu, as i said, sudo chmod -fR 777 /mount/point to your partition

[14:26] <v3ctor> hedin: your welcome
[14:26] <ubuntu_> that's dead symlinks
[14:27] <kothaguy_ubuntu> what is /mount/point what should i type here, whether i have to type /dev/sda3 like that?
[14:27] <ubuntu_> they are on red
[14:27] <jrib> ubuntu_: how did you delete?  Using nautilus?
[14:27] <ubuntu_> no, console
[14:27] <ubuntu_> rm
[14:27] <jrib> ubuntu_: what did you execute exactly?
[14:27] <AStyx> kothaguy_ubuntu, do what ROsmanov said, df -h
[14:27] <AStyx> in your terminal
[14:28] <AStyx> to find out the mountpoints
[14:28] <ubuntu_> rm -r .ecryptfs
[14:28] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, /dev/sda3 is a device that should be mounted to a folder on filesystem
[14:28] <jrib> kothaguy_ubuntu: mount point is some (usually empty) directory.  Create one with « sudo mkdir /media/mynewshinymountpoint » and then use that
[14:28] <ruan> !mount
[14:28] <nn102400> ruan, All desktop based systems use some sort of network handling setup. Network manager makes it very easy to set up your network connection how ever you want it. It does all the back end work for you. But if you like doing that back end work all your self. Go ahead, kill network manager, learn about /etc/network/interfaces file and set up manual configuration based management.
[14:29] <jrib> ubuntu_: well what was the current working directory when you executed tha?
[14:29] <ruan> nn102400: alright, but i never needed to set it up, it doesn't use dhcp either
[14:29] <ubuntu_> jrib, /home
[14:29] <jrib> ubuntu_: then you've lost your data.  Restore from backups
[14:30] <nn102400> ruan, what exactly are you trying to do with network manager >
[14:30] <ruan> nn102400: i removed it to save space
[14:30] <ubuntu_> jrib, how?
[14:30] <jrib> ubuntu_: do you have backups?
[14:30] <ubuntu_> i don't know
[14:30] <ruan> nn102400: i've never used network manager before, so i was just wondering if it was safe to remove it
[14:31] <ubuntu_> if ubuntu isnt doing them automatically, then no
[14:31] <AStyx> why should ubuntu do them?

[14:32] <nn102400> ruan, Yes, its perfectly safe to remove network manager.  I had a olpc which used it and I found my self having to kill it all the time from the terminal because I had no Gui to handle it with.

[14:33] <imanc> you have made it my son..
[14:33] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, never give 777 permissions. use it for tests only!
[14:33] <ROsmanov> u should write mount rules in /etc/fstab and just give appropriate permissions, e.g. chown $USER /mount/point

[14:34] <CharlieSu> Is it possible to use avahi-daemon to have two local hostnames?   box.local and other.local on the same server?

[14:35] <wl46683390_> and my english is very poor
[14:35] <duckstar> I have some questions about .mkv playback containing what i think is VC-1 codec not playing in mplayer / vlc/ xbmc  is this the right place to be asking them ?
[14:35] <ROsmanov> afeijo, make sure your MTA is working(exim4, sendmail ...)
[14:35] <hytreem> wl46683390_, see my PM
[14:35] <afeijo> ROsmanov, my php sites send emails without problems
[14:35] <wl46683390_> what is pm?
[14:36] <hytreem> !pm | wl46683390_
[14:36] <kothaguy_ubuntu>  ROsmanov,jrib :Sorry,if i am irritating you,i have to mount /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda3 whether i have to type sudo mkdir /dev/sda1/myfoldername
[14:36] <AStyx> wl46683390, join #ubuntu-cn
[14:36] <mix22891> hello. why i can't save passwords on FireFox ?
[14:36] <jrib> kothaguy_ubuntu: you can do « mount /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 » but you have to create /media/sda1 first.  To create /media/sda1, you do « mkdir /media/sda1 »
[14:37] <nn102400> duckstar, if it doesn't play in mplayer its most likely un-supported. mplayer has been able to play anything I have thrown at it. If it can play it, its most likely a bad encoding.
[14:37] <imanc> yer
[14:37] <nn102400> duckstar, *if it can't play it, its a bad encoding
[14:37] <dirty-d_> sup peeps!
[14:38] <mix22891> hello. why i can't save passwords on FireFox ?
[14:38] <ruan> mix22891: why doesn't it save?
[14:38] <duckstar> nn102400,  Thanks for the reply.  I got the file from somewhere that confirms its working.  When i try and play the file using the mplayer test.mkv command it starts loading the file and then says Seek failed.
[14:38] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, for instance, make folder: mkdir /media/my_folder. Then add a line to /etc/fstab like UUID=/dev/sda1 /backup ext4 defaults 0 0  .... and mount it: sudo mount -a
[14:39] <mix22891> yes
[14:39] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, sorry I've an error in the fstab line. I'll post a sample for u ... wait a minute
[14:39] <duckstar> nn102400,  Also when trying to play it in XBMC it trys to play it as a audio file, but i think that is because XBMC does not support VC-1
[14:39] <ruan> mix22891: so.. it doesn't save when you press Remember password?
[14:39] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, :ok
[14:39] <mix22891> yes
[14:40] <ruan> mix22891: is it not in preferences > security > saved passwords?
[14:40] <duckstar> I have also installed the non-free codecs... i think...
[14:40] <[TK]D-Fender> mix22891: Ar you clearing them on exit, etc perhaps in your security opitons.....
[14:41] <nn102400> duckstar, in my experience if it says seek failed it normally means that its a incomplete file.
[14:41] <BluesKaj> duckstar, xbmc is ok but try using vlc on it's own, if the media won't play then the codec is probly corrupted
[14:41] <Diverdude> Hello. I have some eps files created in matlab. I need to submit these to a journal, but in order to do this i need to somehow embed the fonts in the eps. how can i do this?
[14:41] <nn102400> duckstar, or its missing some sort of important headder
[14:41] <duckstar> Ok.  Thanks for your help.  I might try redownloading it.  To be honest i did have alot of trouble extracting it
[14:41] <mix22891> thank you!
[14:41] <mix22891> :)
[14:42] <duckstar> nn102400, ,bluekaJ  But don't worry the questions dont end there..
[14:42] <[TK]D-Fender> Diverdude: Isn't the point of EPS that the fonts are already embedded?
[14:42] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, :i got it,i just typed gksudo nautilus,and opened the .media/sda3 folder,and opened the properties and given them permission..it is working now,now i can do copy/paste...Thank you for your time
[14:42] <[TK]D-Fender> Diverdude: thats the "Encapsulated" part last I heard
[14:42] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, :sorry /media/sda3
[14:42] <Diverdude> [TK]D-Fender, well, it not
[14:42] <[TK]D-Fender> Diverdude: Interesting..
[14:43] <CiSense> help plz: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[14:43] <Diverdude> [TK]D-Fender, otherwise i could publish it without problem...but the fonts are not embedded
[14:43] <teweWork> not ubuntu related but can anyone tell me how can i find files with non-ascii characters in their filename and remove them, i can find them with find . -type d | grep -P '[^ -~\n]' but when trying to do xargs rm then the filenames are escaped and it doesn't work? or tell mer where should i ask these kind of questions :)
[14:43] <Pici> teweWork: #bash would be the best place imo.
[14:44] <hwilde> teweWork, you're probably just missing the right combination of single and double quotes but i dunno
[14:44] <nn102400> CiSense, looks like your missing a major compression library. -- Which program causes the error ?
[14:44] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, http://paste.ubuntu.com/577475/
[14:44] <duckstar> Ok.  Not that it bothers me, but mplayer or vlc can't play any .mkv files without being really choppy.  But XBMC is fine with them ?

[14:45] <Curly_Q> Just curious folks, Is there a preference using VNC clients for Windows connecting to Linux? I have tried Tight VNC and Real VNC, I don't think Putty has a GUI with it though. The GUI is what I am interested in. I know that Putty tunnels though.
[14:45] <wl46683390_> my linux is ubuntu 9.04
[14:45] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, I already had /dev/sdb1 mounted on /backup
[14:46] <greppy> Curly_Q: tunnel vnc over a putty ssh connection
[14:46] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, :today i am facing several issues,i am unable to open an ubuntu related sites in my browser,like launchpad,ubuntuforums.org ,but i can open other sites like google,facebook,rediff ,i tried on difeerent browsers,but i am unable to do,i deleted the browsing history,cache also,what to do?
[14:46] <Curly_Q> Greppy is that possible?
[14:46] <ubuntu-usr> join #joomla
[14:46] <amateur> woooooooo
[14:46] <wl46683390_> how could rasiae it?
[14:46] <huanglong> hello,when i winetricks (wine1.3) ...but msxml3 failed :(
[14:46] <greppy> Curly_Q: yes.
[14:46] <Curly_Q> I never tried it.
[14:46] <ruan> !upgrade
[14:47] <Maddeth> Curly_Q, also have a look at xming or varients
[14:47] <amateur> ok  too much boy
[14:47] <Curly_Q> Thanks. What are the advantages with tunneling with Putty?
[14:47] <ruan> wl46683390
[14:47] <ruan> see above link
[14:47] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, what stuff your browser outputs?
[14:47] <v3ctor> teweWork: use rm --
[14:47] <nn102400> CiSense, Open terminal --> run "sudo apt-get install zlib1g"
[14:47] <duckstar> Sorry correction.  VLC stutters trying to play 1080p from a mounted NAS drive.  Its fine on WMV and avi
[14:47] <CiSense> nn102400, ta
[14:48] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, 404 Not Found, Server Not Found ...?
[14:48] <greppy> Curly_Q: encryption of the connection.
[14:48] <CiSense> nn102400, zlib1g is already the newest version.
[14:48] <Curly_Q> Greppy that brings me to another question, can tunneling be used to surf the net with a Proxy server and are there proxy servers out there that are free?
[14:49] <nn102400> duckstar, I have played 1080p mkv files .. They work fine but use a bit of cpu. You really need a fast computer to keep up with the codec
[14:49] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, :it is stating oops,google chrome cant found, in mozilla,it is problem loading page
[14:50] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, but i can open any other sites,whats going wrong with these sites for me?
[14:50] <greppy> Curly_Q: yes, and yes, but I don't have details on any open proxys
[14:50] <Curly_Q> Maddeth, thanks for the heads up on Xming or varients. I am looking at that now.
[14:50] <teweWork> v3ctor: thx, and how can i copy them?
[14:50] <Curly_Q> Thanks Greppy.
[14:50] <Maddeth> Curly_Q, no worries, also for proxying look into the TOR project
[14:51] <nn102400> CiSense, run "sudo apt-get --reinstall install zlib1g"
[14:51] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, try to open in anonymizer
[14:51] <duckstar> nn102400,  Surely it would be some sort of codec problem if they work fine in xbmc ?
[14:51] <Ascavasaion> How do I get identd running on my laptop?  I installed pidentd through Synaptic and then tried to connect to an IRC server and it says I need to run identd
[14:51] <andornaut> Is there anyway to check in linux what ide channels your HDs are using? My bios lists that info only when in IDE (not SATA) mode, and I suspect that one of my data drives shares a chan (if that's the correct term) with the boot drive.
[14:51] <v3ctor> teweWork: i have not done that, i have only ever removed them
[14:51] <duckstar> nn102400,  i run XBMC in the same session, not in its only session
[14:51] <Curly_Q> Greppy, thanks for that link. I just bookmarked it.   :)
[14:51] <nn102400> duckstar, most likely btw where are you getting these videos from anyway
[14:51] <hytreem> wl46683390_, why did you try sending me a picture?
[14:51] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, :what is that anonymizer,the other thing is i cant even update using update manager,they are showing errors in fetching?

[14:52] <bluj> does anyone know what it is that makes gdm in ubuntu (10.04 in my case) be in clone mode right out of the box when using dual-head? i'm trying to enforce this in a different environment (where it likes to use extended-span mode)
[14:52] <duckstar> nn102400, I get them from Usenet
[14:52] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, http://wellkin.info/ano/
[14:52] <Pumpkin-> Ascavasaion: the IRC server needs to be able to make the connection to your machine running identd (TCP/113). So if you are behind NAT, and not port forwarding TCP/113, it won't work.
[14:52] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, :i cant paste in pastebin also
[14:52] <Ascavasaion> Pumpkin-: So in Firestarter I should open port 113?
[14:53] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, maybe a proxy or even ISP block connections to those sites
[14:53] <nn102400> duckstar, its possible that the format is just messed up on thoes piticular files.
[14:53] <nn102400> I got a lot of content from rolly.com .. All there mkv formats worked fine.
[14:54] <kylelipp> Can anyone help me w/ Ubuntu on a CR-48?
[14:54] <Pumpkin-> I don't know firestarter, but yes, the IRC server needs to be able to connect to you on TCP/113
[14:54] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, does http://wellkin.info/ano/ open some of the sites?
[14:54] <root_> who is know hack
[14:54] <Pumpkin-> (and that includes getting past your NAT if you have NAT)
[14:55] <BluesKaj> !hack | root_
[14:55] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, it could be also your firewall
[14:55] <Ascavasaion> Pumpkin-: Okay, I allowed all connections through 113
[14:55] <jfcaron> When I use Synaptic or apt-get I get a huge list of errors, all referring to dpkg file lists being missing: "assuming package has no files installed".  This means that when I try to apt-get remove a package, the files are not removed because dpkg doesn't know about them!  Is there a way to "rebuild" the list of files?
[14:55] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, :i am trying,one minute
[14:56] <BluesKaj> root_, no hacking here
[14:56] <duckstar> nn102400,  i am just testing between all the vieo files i have.  It seems any 720p or under works fine in vlc but anything 1080p isn't.  In XBMC everything plays.  Is there a cache setting that is maybe choking me ? since i am streaming these off  mount NAS drives
[14:57] <nn102400> duckstar, alright .. try  mplayer -cache 80000 /path/to/file
[14:57] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, :yes they are opening in that browser,i dont know till evening i am browsing the sites,i disabled firewall,wait i will check and tell you
[14:57] <wj> !!
[14:57] <Ascavasaion> Pumpkin-: Never worked :(
[14:57] <nn102400> duckstar, I stream 1080p off of NFS and it works fine .. usually 1 to 2 MB/s though of data
[14:59] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, :now also i am uanble to open in my browser,in anonymous i can open,why it is happening,does my isp blocked these sites?
[15:00] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, hmm. It could be a firewall on a proxy... R U using a proxy?
[15:00] <nishant> does anyone feel ubuntu netbook GUI is slow ?
[15:01] <andornaut> checked /proc/scsi/scsi and all my hds are listed on the same chan with the same id. Does that look right? Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
[15:01] <andornaut> (they're sata drives, not scsi)
[15:01] <Curly_Q> Maddeth is Xming a Windows tool VMware? Please tell me a bit about it?
[15:01] <Curly_Q> I am on a website looking at it. It looks very attractive.
[15:02] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, no,till evening i am using those sites,i just run an clamtk scan,while running at that time,i am unable to do that,any link between clamtk scanner and these sites/
[15:02] <Maddeth> Xming is a windows tool, sorry I may have got confused as to what you were trying to do :)
[15:02] <Maddeth> @ Curly_Q ^
[15:02] <duckstar> nn102400, Takes ages to type the paths.  is there some sort of auto fill ?  like type the first part in then let the terminal autofill ?
[15:02] <Curly_Q> Maddeth I am glad you mentioned it. I am very curious about Xming.
[15:02] <nishant> Xming is a window manager ?
[15:03] <nishant> Anyway I find the Ubuntu netbook gui is slow
[15:03] <Phong_> hi guys
[15:03] <nn102400> duckstar, tab and dubble tab
[15:03] <edbian> nishant, xming is an Xserver that runs on windows
[15:03] <edbian> Phong_, hello
[15:03] <duckstar> nn102400,  Cheers.  Nope its still laggy
[15:03] <Phong_> i have off topic question what is it meant by : Recovery Audit Expert
[15:03] <duckstar> nn102400,  Less Laggy..
[15:03] <nishant> Right
[15:03] <Curly_Q> Is Xming a VMware application?
[15:03] <nn102400> duckstar, tab fills in ... dubble tab lists everything int that directory that is under the characters you already have down
[15:04] <jfcaron> nishant: Aye, I found that Ubuntu Desktop ran better on my eeepc than Ubuntu Netbook.
[15:04] <edbian> Curly_Q, What is a VMware application?  VMware runs virtual machines, not applications.  xming is an Xserver that runs on windows
[15:05] <nishant> Exactly I find the Netbook GUI needs to be re designed for speed , jfcaron , do you have any suggestions for power saving ?
[15:05] <nn102400> duckstar, my experience is that broken formats usually spit out a lot of junk on the terminal about broken crc or somthing like that .. and dont play right with a lot of skips and glitches
[15:05] <Curly_Q> Edbian, sorry for the confusion. So Xming is an application that is not an OS but runs on top of Windows. Thanks for that info.
[15:05] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, I have never used clamtk/clamav. I guess clamav blocks connections. I'd turn it to scan on-demand, since IMHO Ubuntu is safe enough to get rid of antiviruses, until U don't send something to Windows users(U'd probably need clamav just to check emails to forward emails ...)
[15:05] <nn102400> duckstar, if its not the format try the -frameskip option to speed up the sound.
[15:05] <edbian> Curly_Q, that is right.  No worries :)
[15:05] <Curly_Q> I learned something new today. Thanks.
[15:05] <Maddeth> Curly_Q, sorry for confusing you
[15:06] <Curly_Q> Maddeth, you enlightened me immensely. Thanks for the confusion.   hehe
[15:06] <kaushal> Hi
[15:06] <Abhijit> hi
[15:06] <searching> ps aux and /usr/bin/python use 46% cpu that freeze my pc is there a bug or something or solution ?
[15:06] <kaushal> is there a debug window while installing Ubuntu OS ?
[15:07] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, personally, I don't have antiviruses at all. Gmail does basic scans for me ;) I just try to keep FS permissions and firewall settings right
[15:07] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, : i am purely using ubuntu,i dont have any windows in my laptop,i installed it because,all my frnds r windows users,when they insert their usbs into mine,i thought i would get viruses,thats y i installed it
[15:08] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, windows viruses are nothing for Ubuntu
[15:08] <jfcaron> nishant: Nothing specifically, I found that I mostly use my netbook while it is plugged in, so power isn't an issue for me.  Apparently Leeenux (which I use - Ubuntu variant) does have extra power-related stuff though.
[15:08] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, ,can i remove that clamtk?
[15:09] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, I think yes. I'd remove it
[15:09] <kothaguy_ubuntu> ROsmanov, :ok,thank you
[15:09] <koolhead17> searching, what application your running
[15:09] <nishant> Leenux right will chek out .
[15:09] <ROsmanov> kothaguy_ubuntu, however, not fact that just clamav blocks connections
[15:10] <searching> Firefox
[15:10] <nishant> so you dont use the netbook GUI any more jfcaron ? have you changed to desktop ?
[15:10] <mati_> ubuntu 10.10
[15:11] <jfcaron> nishant:  Indeed, just regular gnome-desktop is faster and more useful than the netbook GUI for me.
[15:12] <Roasted_> Question - Using an Ubuntu machine on a Windows domain, I somehow managed to change my default terminal to sh. I want it to be back to bash. I issued the chsh command to change it, but it failed because my domain user (obviously) does not reside in /etc/passwd. This is a problem because this happens on my account to EVERY Ubuntu computer on the domain. How can I fix it?
[15:12] <nishant> yes jfcaron thanks I was thinking the same and was wondeing why it had such a different GUI than desktop without much advantgae
[15:12] <mati_> kubuntu
[15:13] <jfcaron> nishant: The netbook GUI seems to be aimed at the "internet appliance" style of netbook user, who just wants one-click internets, but not much other functionality.  It's also difficult to customize.
[15:13] <ROsmanov> Roasted_, what about export SHELL=bash in ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile?
[15:13] <Roasted_> It
[15:13] <Roasted_> It's also slow
[15:13] <speedy> I tried the Natty-desktop iso and the DVD ISO and had issues with both ISO's d/l'ed fresh iso's still same thing it freezes up when tring to run stuff open terminal then locks can't do nothing very buggy it seems also ran updates stopped while trying to update oh well it is alpaha 3 but still has issues not to happy about the new look i like old GNOME better just my opinion
[15:14] <Roasted_> R0smanov, uhh fill in the gaps there a little bit. Are you suggesting I add SHELL=bash at... what... the bottom of all 3 of those config files?
[15:14] <nishant> RIght yes , seems more cloud type of OS
[15:14] <Roasted_> ROsmanov, my bad that's an O not a 0. I was wondering why tab didnt complete your name.
[15:14] <ROsmanov> Roasted_, no. add "export SHELL=bash in ~/.bashrc"
[15:14] <Roasted_> ROsmanov, okay. does it matter where within the file I add it?
[15:15] <ROsmanov> Roasted_, append it to the end of file
[15:15] <Roasted_> ROsmanov, I gotta log out and in as my domain user. Ill try it now. thanks.
[15:16] <fixxxermet> I'm on ubuntu 10.10 but want to use a Natty package (ntp).  What's the best way to do this?
[15:17] <Roasted_> ROsmanov, didn't work.
[15:17] <speedy> after desktop loads seems fine then all off the borders window mangaer stops then locks me out of doing anything short of a cold reboot bummer
[15:17] <ROsmanov> Roasted_, then "source ~/.bashrc" should change your default shell instantly. However, for instance, sshd can load ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile or some other rc-file
[15:17] <Roasted_> ROsmanov, what I dont understand is how it triggers on WHEREVER my account logs in.
[15:18] <Roasted_> ROsmanov, I thought I could just delete the profile entry and I'd be good. But I logged on a different PC and it was still there. the sh is such a pita too when Im doing terminal.
[15:18] <prodigy0987> fixxxermet: Maverick has the ntp packages as well, will that do?
[15:19] <jrib> Roasted_: you're using likewise open?
[15:19] <Roasted_> jrib, yes.
[15:19] <ROsmanov> Roasted_, I'd quote "man bash": When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads  and  executes
[15:19] <ROsmanov>        commands  from  the  file  /etc/profile, if that file exists.  After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and
[15:19] <ROsmanov>        ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable.
[15:19] <jrib> ROsmanov: isn't there an associated config file for likewise open where you can set users' shell?
[15:20] <Roasted_> jrib, the thing is, this changed after I ran a command in terminal under my domain user name.
[15:20] <jrib> Roasted_: what command?
[15:20] <Roasted_> jrib, I was testing out a command to mount my share to gvfs. I ran gvfs-mount smb://server/users/#()
[15:20] <anubarack_> guys is there an alternative to gyazio for ubuntu ? or at least something similar
[15:20] <Roasted_> jrib, and bam. all downhill from there.
[15:20] <Roasted_> jrib, the command was suggested to me by a user here, as #() was supposedly a wild card for whoever was actively logged in.
[15:20] <Roasted_> jrib, but it obviously went south on me
[15:20] <fixxxermet> prodigy0987: I want the latest version, as it has some new options
[15:21] <ROsmanov> jrib, ~/.profile should keep user's settings. Mine loads ~/.bashrc
[15:21] <prodigy0987> fixxxermet: okie-doke, then you might be able to download it from http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/ntp and install it with 'dpkg -i'
[15:21] <jrib> ROsmanov: but by the time any of that is sourced, it's too late.  The user already has a shell.  No?
[15:22] <prodigy0987> fixxxermet: if that doesn't work (due to dependencies or whatnot), i'd install from source
[15:22] <Roasted_> jrib, do you think what I did is reversible?
[15:22] <jrib> Roasted_: well I don't see how it could possibly change the shell.  But did you check if you've a setting for bash as users' shell in the config file for likewise open?
[15:23] <Roasted_> jrib, I'm not sure how I would have, as other domain users on likewise open do not exhibit the same issues.
[15:23] <Roasted_> jrib, its JUST my account, which is where I ran the command.
[15:23] <jrib> Roasted_: in any case, does the setting exist there?
[15:23] <Roasted_> jrib, within likewise open config? I'm not sure. I'm looking for it now. Do you by chance know where it resides?
[15:24] <anubarack_> no one ? :(
[15:24] <Roasted_> what is gyazio?
[15:24] <jrib> Roasted_: I found this mention: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1569865 I'm not familiar with likwise open, but I assume lwconfig just modifies a config file somewhere.  Or maybe you can query with lwconfig what current settings are
[15:25] <Abhijit> anubarack_, what does gyazio do?
[15:25] <OerHeks> Gyazo lets you instantly grab the screen and upload the image to the web
[15:25] <jrib> Roasted_: maybe this makes more sense to you than to me: http://www.likewise.com/resources/documentation_library/manuals/open/likewise-open-guide.html#SetHomeDirAndShell
[15:25] <ruan> how do i close a PM tab with irssi?
[15:25] <jpds> ruan: /win close
[15:25] <ruan>  /part didn't work
[15:25] <v3ctor> ruan: /window close
[15:25] <ruan> jpds: thanks
[15:26] <anubarack_> it's gyazo, my bad, and it lets you select a part of the screen (like sniping tool in win7) and it uploads to their site, giving you the url
[15:26] <dirty-d_> to close a window, just do /wc
[15:26] <ZacLnxNewb> hi
[15:26] <jrib> Roasted_: here's someone modifying the lsassd.conf directly: http://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2010/06/how-to-configure-likewise-open-ad.html
[15:27] <ZacLnxNewb> I'm trying to install grub boot loader, but seem to be having trouble
[15:27] <ZacLnxNewb> Currently the error I'm getting is "not found or not a block device"
[15:27] <ZacLnxNewb> I'm trying to reinstall windows from a recovery partition
[15:27] <Abhijit> anubarack_, wait
[15:27] <mr_chris> I have an Ubuntu 10.04 desktop that authenticates through ldap. GDM is keeping a list of previously logged in users. How do I clear that list?
[15:28] <ZacLnxNewb> ZacLnxNewb:  Basically, running the windows recovery partition seems to format, kill the mbr, restart, and then I get a grub error
[15:28] <Roasted_> jrib, well so far the global "change everybody to bash" command failed. :(
[15:28] <Roasted_> jrib, looking over more of those links now.
[15:28] <ZacLnxNewb> So I'm trying to reinstall grub, but none of the google searches I've done have helped
[15:28] <OerHeks> AnubArack, there is a linux client @ http://gyazo.com/en
[15:29] <mr_chris> ZacLnxNewb, which version of Ubuntu are you running?
[15:30] <gandhijee> can i install a maverick package on karmic?
[15:30] <anubarack_> OerHeks, oh my bad :( when i did a google search i saw people asking about gyazo + wine so I thought it never had a linux version
[15:30] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris:  I deleted and reconfigured all of my partitions
[15:30] <Abhijit> gandhijee, yes
[15:30] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris:  I'm now using linux netbook live cd via a flash dri e
[15:30] <OerHeks> anubarack_, it needs imagemagic, and the download is just a script.
[15:31] <mr_chris> So you're trying to reinstall grub after deleting all of your partitions? Did you reinstall or did you just resize the partitions with gparted?
[15:31] <moltendorf> Does anyone know what FTP server comes preinstalled on ubuntu server 10.10 and how I can configure it, even though I only configured the server to work with ssh?
[15:31] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris: I just deleted and made new partitions with gparted, and I'm not sure I configured them correctly at that
[15:31] <fixxxermet> prodigy0987: yeah, that didn't work due to dependencies.  I'll have to compile from source.
[15:31] <blizzi> moltendorf, you can use sftp as part of ssh
[15:32] <mr_chris> ZacLnkNewb: If that's the cased, you hosed your existing installation. You need to reinstall.
[15:32] <jrib> Roasted_: there seem to be mentions of a "template shell= /bin/bash" setting in smb.conf on google.  So maybe check into that as well (since the command you issued involved samba).  I'm not sure how things interact with likewise open, but just throwing things out there for you to check
[15:32] <moltendorf> Ah, so that explains sftp working but not regular ftp.
[15:32] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris:  Alright, how long are you going to be on?
[15:32] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris:  I'll be back shortly
[15:32] <Roasted_> jrib, nothing is working. wow.
[15:32] <Roasted_> jrib, why did I run that fn command.
[15:33] <moltendorf> Thanks, you just blew my mind (with an obvious statement), dang I'm tired. ^^
[15:33] <RingZer0> So, if I have screen open, and I ssh into another machine, then do screen -dr (take over screen on next host), how do i get my keyboard ctrl+a,n to work for the deepest level of ssh
[15:33] <jrib> Roasted_: also, depending on whether you actually want to figure out how things work or whether you just want this thing to work because you have to do other things, you can just have sh point to bash... (sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash).  It's not ideal, but if you have more important things to do...
[15:33] <anadon> hey, anyone able to give grub help?
[15:34] <Roasted_> jrib, I would like to understand what the hell happened as well as fixing it. I hate to just fix them without knowing what in the world happened.
[15:34] <RingZer0> anadon: dont ask to ask, just ask your question.  if someone knows they will respond
[15:34] <Abhijit> anadon, ask
[15:34] <anadon> k, "update-grub" ignores my windows 7 installation
[15:34] <anadon> how do I fix that?
[15:36] <ROsmanov> anadon, btw webmin is a good gui for that. U may add/modify grub entries there easily as well
[15:36] <jrib> Roasted_: http://www.likewise.com/community/index.php/forums/viewthread/932/#2787 there's some talk there about clearing cache after changing shell
[15:38] <AStyx> anadon, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1036547
[15:38] <Roasted_> jrib, I did that :(
[15:38] <Roasted_> jrib, let me read over it though
[15:38] <AStyx> it costs only some seconds to google
[15:39] <Roasted_> jrib, Im also curious what user I have to be logged in as when I do those registry changes.
[15:39] <Roasted_> jrib, because I dont know how to set my domain user to have sudo rights, so I cant run sudo commands. So is local administrator on the ubuntu machine okay????
[15:40] <jrib> Roasted_: your questions are my first exposure to likewise open, so don't know much.  Do you know if these settings are stored in the user's home or in some other way?  What are these .reg files that are always referred to?  What does lwconfig actually do?
[15:41] <jfcaron> When I am using apt-get interactively, is there a way to direct the output to a file while still being able to tell it [Y/n] when it asks for confirmation?
[15:41] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris:  Okay, I have 222 GB of hard drive space to allocate
[15:41] <Roasted_> jrib, I'm not sure what lwconfig does. I'm new to likewise open as well. I ran with it after I heard canonical recommends it for AD integration as we are flirting with introducing Ubuntu to "the wild" here at work. I do not believe settings are locally stored because I have deleted my profile dozens of times and logged into completely different computers with the exact same results, but again, only under MY username.
[15:41] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris:  and there's a recovery partition containing my windows 7 recovery that I want to install
[15:41] <mr_chris> ZacLnkNewb: What is it you're trying to do?
[15:41] <edbian> jfcaron, sudo apt-get -y install <something> >file.txt   ?  (just a guess)
[15:42] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris:  Install a fresh install of windows 7 as the primary operating system, using the recovery partition
[15:42] <ROsmanov> Roasted_, I didn't use likewise open. But for "sudo" rights in ubuntu user should be listed in /etc/sudoers
[15:42] <jrib> Roasted_: this last link http://www.likewise.com/community/index.php/forums/viewthread/932/#2787 has Jonathan suggesting su - root for the lwconfig command and then running lw-ad-cache delete-all "on the client" which I suppose means "as the normal user"
[15:42] <jfcaron> edbian: But that assumes that I will want to say yes to each query..I guess that's generally the case.
[15:42] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris:  and after I get that work, I'm going to reinstall ubuntu netbook alongside it
[15:42] <Roasted_> ROsmanov, right, but I'm not sure how I add DOMAIN users to /etc/sudoers. Just DOMAIN\my_user??
[15:42] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris:  I currently have 222GB of unallocated space
[15:42] <Roasted_> jrib, I tried running su -.... but I keep getting uathentication failure.
[15:42] <mr_chris> ZacLnkNewb: When you deleted your partitions, did you also delete the Recovery partition or leave it intact?
[15:43] <edbian> jfcaron, If you don't want to then do this: sudo apt-get install <something> >file.txt   what gets saved? I've never tried it
[15:43] <jrib> Roasted_: do you know how to add users to groups?  Should be able to just add them to the "admin" group.  Sorry, when Jonathan says "su - root", on ubuntu, you can read that as "run with sudo"
[15:43] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris:  I want to give 65 GB for the windows partition, 14 for ubuntu, and 1 GB for swap, and the rest will be "Storage"
[15:43] <Roasted_> jrib, it's not. It deletes the slash and makes it DOMAINmy_user
[15:43] <edbian> jfcaron, btw dpkg and apt keep logs in  /var/log (they log everything you do using each of them respectively)
[15:44] <edbian> jfcaron, And since every package manager uses dpkg the dpkg log is a complete history of all package management
[15:44] <Abhijit> anubarack_, i am unable to search for that software. some day ago there was an articlce on that software in omgubuntu. but i forget its name.  also omg site is down now. cant help
[15:45] <jrib> Roasted_: so you're trying http://www.likewise.com/resources/documentation_library/manuals/open/likewise-open-guide.html#id2714877 and it doesn't work?
[15:45] <anubarack_> Abhijit, ty for your support ... i just downloaded Shutter
[15:45] <Roasted_> jrib, sec, I might have found how to add domain users as admins...
[15:45] <Abhijit> omg
[15:45] <anubarack_> it's more advanced but it gets the job done
[15:45] <Abhijit> anubarack_, thats the one i am talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[15:45] <Abhijit> :-D
[15:45] <b0ss8055> how to edit linux registry?
[15:45] <mr_chris> b0ss8055: There isn't one.
[15:45] <anubarack_> b0ss8055, wtf? linux registry?
[15:46] <jrib> b0ss8055: what do you want to accomplish exactly?   Did you leave that partition intact or delete it?
[15:46] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris:  I left that intact
[15:46] <anadon> Still having problems with grub finding windows
[15:46] <Roasted_> uh
[15:46] <compdoc> b0ss8055, are you having a problem youre trying to fix?
[15:46] <Roasted_> its fixed?
[15:47] <mr_chris> So you should have a recovery partition followed by your 222 GB of unallocated space, yes?
[15:47] <jrib> Roasted_: eh?
[15:47] <Roasted_> jrib, I read online when I add domain users to sudoers, I need to use DOMAIN\\ instead of DOMAIN\
[15:47] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris: it displays it as 222GB of unallocated space then followed by the partition, but yes
[15:47] <Roasted_> jrib, so I did, rebooted, and went into terminal, and my terminal prompt was normal. Oddly, I still dont have sudo rights.
[15:48] <jrib> Roasted_: heh...
[15:48] <b0ss8055> b4 smedays i want to hide ntfs drives 4m ma desktop in ubuntu,i googld and found smethn wich is a subtitute for windws regstry in linux..it wrkd..nw i wnt to display drives in places on xubuntu
[15:48] <jfcaron> edbian: Then apt-get doesn't complete, and the file to which the output was directed contains the contents of the [Y/n] prompt.
[15:48] <edbian> jfcaron, Did you read what I said about the logs?  Does that solve your problem?
[15:48] <Roasted_> jrib, I brought sudoers file back to default. rebooting my VM now. If it works, Ill also try it on my ubuntu laptop here for a final test.
[15:48] <Roasted_> jrib, now THAT is confusing...
[15:49] <jfcaron> edbian: Ah sorry, I read that after I typed my thing.  Yes I think so.
[15:49] <edbian> jfcaron, no worries.  Glad I could help!
[15:49] <mr_chris> So use gparted to make a 65gb ntfs partition, a 14GB ext4 partition, and a 1GB swap partition, and assign the rest as NTFS so you can read it both from Windows and Ubuntu. Then install windows, then install Ubuntu and manually tell it to use the 14GB partition as /.
[15:49] <edbian> mr_chris,  and tell Ubuntu to use the swap.
[15:49] <anubarack_> wow! the new speedtest.net is so sexy <3
[15:49] <Roasted_> jrib, worked again on VM when rebooted. Going to try my laptop now. I'll brb...
[15:50] <mati_> :http://www.ubuntu.com
[15:50] <mr_chris> edbian, ZacLnxNewb: Yes. Thanks.
[15:50] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris: How do I configure those paritions?  I can only have two primary partitions
[15:50] <edbian> ZacLnxNewb, You are allowed 4 primary partitions.
[15:50] <azertyy> hello i got ubuntu
[15:50] <mr_chris> ZacLnxNewb: You can always add them as logical partitions.
[15:50] <anadon> need help getting grub to recognize windows
[15:50] <edbian> azertyy, hi.  Do you have a question about it?  That's the purpose of this channel.
[15:50] <azertyy> ubuntu is it for always problemer     ?
[15:50] <ZacLnxNewb> edbian:  It tells me two >.>
[15:50] <mati_> http://www.lapstore.de/
[15:51] <azertyy> every day i got a problem on my ubuntu system
[15:51] <edbian> ZacLnxNewb, But things in an extended partition.  You can but as many partitions as you want inside an extended partition
[15:51] <mr_chris> ZacLnkNewb: This is assuming that you haven't changed the partition number of your recovery partition. If you have, it's unlikely that you'll be able to boot into it.
[15:51] <edbian> anadon, Have you tried sudo update-grub2?  It searches for other OS's
[15:51] <mati_> http://www.lapstore.de/f.php/shop/lapstore/f/101/lang/x/kw/Notebooks_-Gebraucht_Lenovo_-_IBM-/
[15:51] <mr_chris> ZacLnxNewb: Yes, what edbian said.
[15:51] <azertyy> today is : this is what i got : i can't able to ssh to my system
[15:52] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris: I haven't touched the other recovery partition
[15:52] <azertyy> this is what i got : ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
[15:52] <mati_><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[15:52] <anadon> edbian --command doesn't exist
[15:52] <Pici> mati_: Are you asking us a question?
[15:52] <mr_chris> ZacLnkNewb: Then you should be ok.
[15:52] <azertyy> what i have to do ?
[15:52] <edbian> anadon, sudo update-grub
[15:52] <anadon> edbian: did it
[15:52] <edbian> anadon, Apparently Ubuntu doesn't make the distinction between grub and grub2 anymore.
[15:52] <edbian> anadon, Did it work?
[15:52] <anadon> edbian: nope...
[15:53] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris:  Before, I was able to access the recovery partition, but it seems to kill the grub boot loader before restarting, then I get an error "invalid file system"   "grub rescue"
[15:53] <edbian> anadon, What did it output?  Can you pastebin sudo fdisk -l for me?
[15:53] <anadon> edbian: starting to wonder if in recovering ubuntu it killled windows
[15:53] <anubarack_> speaking of GRUB how can i reduce the timer on the screen after I select Ubuntu ? (the one with the curent kernel, recovery for it, previous kernel, recover of that)
[15:53] <edbian> anadon, That's what I'm checking with fdisk -l  :)
[15:53] <mr_chris> That's why you install Linux and Grub last.
[15:53] <mati_> Protected Object
[15:53] <anadon> edbian: what's pastebin?
[15:53] <mr_chris> ZacLnxNewb: You have another option if you don't want to fight with partitioning. Make all of the unallocated space NTFS, and install Ubuntu through Wubi.
[15:53] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris: But how do I start the windows 7 install?
[15:54] <codebeaker> hi all… query regarding inittab - is that really, fully replaced by upstart on Ubuntu (working with a 10.4LTS server)
[15:54] <jrib> !inittab | codebeaker
[15:54] <mr_chris> ZacLnkNewb: From the recovery partition. There is normally a shortcut key you have to press when you boot it.
[15:54] <edbian> anadon, Website that lets you temporarily put text on a website.   www.pastebin.com
[15:54] <codebeaker> … seems strange that there's still rc.d, and upstart together, why are default packages not shipping with that? (thanks jrib)
[15:54] <mr_chris> ZacLnxNewb: It's vendor specific.
[15:54] <azertyy> hello i can't ssh my machine this is what i got : ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
[15:54] <anubarack_> anadon, pastebin.com is a site where you can share code, or any large amount of text (via Paste-ing)
[15:54] <azertyy> wt 2 od ?
[15:54] <mati_> Netzwerk-Zeitüberschreitung
[15:54] <jrib> codebeaker: upstart runs sysv-init scripts so as not to break packages that haven't been upgraded yet
[15:55] <terry> mr_chris: That's not a good way to go. wubi is ok but you can not build a fully functioning linux system on ntfs or vfat
[15:55] <mr_chris> I have an Ubuntu 10.04 desktop that authenticates through ldap. GDM is keeping a list of previously logged in users. How do I clear that list?
[15:55] <codebeaker> great to know
[15:55] <azertyy> hello i can't ssh my machine this is what i got : ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host                whtat to do ?
[15:55] <anadon> ebbian: http://pastebin.com/vA42Btg8
[15:55] <IdleOne> Pici: seems mati has a ctrl-v random issue
[15:55] <codebeaker> to that end jrib does it make sense to stop using cron, and use upstart's scheduled timers?
[15:55] <mati_> debian 6.0.0
[15:55] <edbian> anadon, reading
[15:55] <edbian> anadon, Make sure you spell my name right.
[15:55] <anadon> edbian: sorry
[15:56] <mr_chris> terry: Understood. I just recommend it for new users who are getting to know it.
[15:56] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris:  How so?  I need a boot loader to select the windows 7 partition don't I?
[15:56] <mati_> mati
[15:56] <mr_chris> ZacLnkNewb: What kind of computer do you have?
[15:56] <edbian> anadon, That's ok.  Alright update-grub didn't find windows.  Can you pastebin sudo fdisk -l so I can see it's there?
[15:56] <mati_> ibm t60
[15:56] <Guest40696> hi

[15:56] <mati_> nx
[15:56] <ZacLnxNewb> edbian: you're talking to me?
[15:56] <jrib> codebeaker: I'd stick with cron personally for now though I think the intent is for upstart to eventually be able to replace cron (can it already?)
[15:57] <edbian> ZacLnxNewb, No.  I'm talking to anadon... I said his name
[15:57] <ruan> !enter | mati_
[15:57] <anadon> edbian: http://pastebin.com/jsq8aZZE
[15:57] <codebeaker> jrib: it reports that it can handle scheduled periodic tasks… and I have some transparency problems with Cron not sending mails (and then having to figure out which flavor of cron, cron actually is)

[15:57] <ruan> mati_: ?
[15:57] <ZacLnxNewb> I'll be right back probably
[15:58] <jrib> mati_: stop pasting random things please
[15:58] <Roasted_> jrib, we're gooooooooooood
[15:58] <jrib> Roasted_: cool, now recreate the issue and solution :)
[15:58] <edbian> anadon, There are two NTFS (windows) partitions.  One is rather small, probably the recovery partition.  The other is quite large, this must be your windows install.  Now we need to make a file in grub.  I'm going to look up a how to.
[15:58] <Roasted_> jrib, Im having a hard time understanding if the commands I issued fixed it or if the attempt to add to sudoers did it. But I doubt that had any bearing on it.
[15:58] <azertyy> hello i can't ssh my machine this is what i got : ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host                whtat to do ?
[15:58] <anadon> edbian: thanks!
[15:58] <Roasted_> jrib, because I didnt even add my domain user to sudoers properly, as when I rebooted and logged in he had no sudo rights.
[15:58] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris: how do I boot into the recovery partition without a boot loader?
[15:59] <Roasted_> jrib, so me thinks it just took a minute to kick in after I issued the command
[15:59] <edbian> anadon, I'm reading.  You should too.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[15:59] <Roasted_> jrib, either way, thanks for your help. I'll read over these links you sent me (got them saved) so I can learn more about it.
[15:59] <jrib> Roasted_: I would add the user to the admin group by editing /etc/group and adding the user as DOMAIN\username (that's what the likewise docs seem to recommend)
[15:59] <mr_chris> ZacLnkNewb: I'm trying to tell you. It is vendor specific. There is normally a shortcut key you have to press to launch it. What kind of computer do you have?
[15:59] <[TK]D-Fender> ZacLnxNewb: Unless your BIOS lets you pick it (it might), then you need a botoloader
[15:59] <Guest23334> hehe
[15:59] <jrib> codebeaker: did you install an mta?
[15:59] <Roasted_> jrib, sounds good. I dont want my domain users to have admin rights, but I suppose its good to know how to do just in case.
[15:59] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris:  it was F9 I think, not sure that works though
[16:00] <mr_chris> ZacLnxNewb: If you were messing with the partition map, you may have broke it.
[16:00] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris: [TK]D-Fender    I'm going to go try it and see if it installs on the ntfs partition I just made
[16:00] <codebeaker> jrib: yeah, but I'm sure I remember (long time since I had to care about cron mails…) doesn't cron only deliver to the user's local mail spool, then you need a .forward file ?
[16:00] <Roasted_> have a good one jrib. on to the next problem.
[16:00] <ZacLnxNewb> mr_chris:  I might've >.>
[16:00] <ZacLnxNewb> BBS, trying this
[16:00] <[TK]D-Fender> ZacLnxNewb: Bootloader isn't part of the partition.
[16:00] <edbian> anadon, alright do this: sudo nano /etc/grub.d/25_windows
[16:00] <edbian> anadon, and PM me, it's noisy in here
[16:00] <ZacLnxNewb> [TK]D-Fender:  oh
[16:00] <[TK]D-Fender> ZacLnxNewb: it is at the start of the drive, separate from partitions
[16:01] <anadon> edbian: ok
[16:01] <jnlsnl_> In bin folder in home dir i have a script with: sudo poweroff but when i run my command it says permission denied
[16:01] <ZacLnxNewb> [TK]D-Fender:  I deleted all my partitions but the recovery partition, that may have screwed up the install process, I'm not sure, bbs
[16:02] <[TK]D-Fender> ZacLnxNewb: this on a laptop?
[16:02] <jrib> codebeaker: maybe, not sure
[16:02] <codebeaker> np jrib - thanks a lot, appreciate it - trying to make monit start reliably…  :) peace!
[16:03] <anadon> edbian: I entered the uber basic stuff
[16:03] <edbian> anadon, See my PM ?
[16:03] <anadon> O
[16:09] <anubarack_> guyz, is there a way to enable the "middle click scroll" function like we have on windows?
[16:10] <rekenber> Can I ask some help?
[16:10] <edbian> rekenber, That's what we're here for
[16:11] <administrator_> hhaha
[16:11] <rekenber> I can't go to a channel;
[16:11] <rekenber> it says :Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services

[16:12] <anubarack_> [TK]D-Fender, thanke you
[16:14] <lyceumlab13> hello
[16:14] <sbalneav> Morning all.  The latest openjdk security update (1.9.7) broke an app of ours around here.  What would be the easiest way to revert to 1.9.5 of the openjdk packages?
[16:15] <lyceumlab13> Guys any one knows what is alternative for VB scripts in xbuntu
[16:15] <anubarack_> [TK]D-Fender, I don't have /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/ .... futher I could go was /usr/lib/X11/
[16:16] <[TK]D-Fender> anubarack_: You may have to drill a tiny bit for the exact proper place but yuo can see the general idea there
[16:16] <Dr_Willis> lyceumlab13:  You mean an alterantive language to use? or a way to emulate vb in linux?
[16:16] <jiltdil> !scp
[16:16] <anubarack_> i can ... but this is like my second day on linux ... so I'll not risk experimenting
[16:16] <rekenber> now, thanks to all =)
[16:17] <bl4ckcomb> anubarack_, setup a VM or take an image from your disk (clonezilla is free)
[16:17] <edbian> anubarack_, always risk experimenting!!!! :)
[16:17] <frimend> How do I find out what gpu I have?
[16:17] <sbalneav> lyceumlab13: Are you looking for something that will run VB scripts?  Or something that's an alternative to VB scripts?
[16:17] <lyceumlab13> Normally for learning VBscripts in Browser but Firefox is not executing so have to got idea what to do?
[16:17] <Pici> lyceumlab13: visual basic?
[16:17] <bl4ckcomb> frimend, you can get some specs via lspci and google further
[16:17] <lyceumlab13> yes
[16:18] <bl4ckcomb> lyceumlab13, vbscript = IE
[16:18] <lyceumlab13> yes
[16:18] <bl4ckcomb> use ECMA
[16:18] <frimend> bl4ckcomb: I don't really know what to filter on, at the lspci output. :)
[16:18] <sbalneav> lyceumlab13: VB scripts won't work on Linux, as it's a Microsoft only technology.
[16:18] <lyceumlab13> ok buddy
[16:18] <jrtayloriv> Where is my "Places" menu stored on disk? Somehow it has been corrupted, where whenever I click on anything in it, it tries to open it in Totem.
[16:18] <frimend> I tried nvidia and ati and amd, there was no nvidia or amd, and ati got catched by thousands of lines.
[16:18] <bl4ckcomb> frimend, try $ lspci | grep VGA
[16:18] <lyceumlab13> BUT many thanks
[16:18] <sbalneav> You'd either need to convert what you're doing into something like Javascript, or, run Windows in a Virtualbox session under Linux.
[16:19] <jrtayloriv> (But when I click on the same location from my desktop, it works fine)
[16:19] <frimend> bl4ckcomb: aaah, vga! :D
[16:19] <frimend> nice, found it, thanks mate. ;)
[16:19] <Dr_Willis> jrtayloriv:   You set the default 'open with..' item for folders to be yoru video player some how oerhaps.. Ive sene some guides on fixing that issue. let me see if i can find it.
[16:19] <jrtayloriv> Dr_Willis, But wouldn't that make it where when I open folders from my desktop, it would do the same thing (because it doesn't right now)
[16:20] <jigi33> jigi
[16:20] <jonas_> hi, i just installed virt-manager, but somehow there is an option missing to add a lvm storage. i can't see any option like this

[16:25] <cutiyar> i cant find package from terminal
[16:25] <Dr_Willis> cutiyar:  clarify what you mean.
[16:26] <BluesKaj> cutiyar, which package ?
[16:26] <cutiyar> Dr_Willis, for example inkscape , eclipse .. etc
[16:26] <cutiyar> BluesKaj, inkscape , eclipse .. etc
[16:27] <BluesKaj> cutiyar, make sure you have all your repos enable in software sources
[16:27] <Dr_Willis> cutiyar:  apt-cache search PATTERN     ...
[16:27] <BluesKaj> err enabled
[16:27] <Dr_Willis> !info eclipse
[16:27] <Dr_Willis> eclipse is in the unuverse reposutory..   it seems.
[16:27] <anadon> !continuing grub issues not recognizing windows 7
[16:28] <cutiyar> BluesKaj, how to enable?
[16:28] <Dr_Willis> anadon:  dirty work around would be to add your own entry for your win7 in /etc/grub.d/41_custom
[16:28] <MrNoob> hello
[16:28] <BluesKaj> anadon, sudo update-grub
[16:28] <ruan> update-grub2
[16:28] <cutiyar> Dr_Willis, should terminal update take effect if i did update?
[16:28] <MrNoob> how can i add my windows 7 to grub
[16:28] <anadon> Dr_Willis: don't know how
[16:28] <ruan> custom entry.
[16:28] <speedy> anadon: is it even showing up in the grub boot menu
[16:28] <anadon> BluesKaj: did it
[16:28] <anadon> speedy: no
[16:29] <Dr_Willis> cutiyar:  huh? sudo apt-get update, then apt-get search PATTERN
[16:29] <ruan> now reboot. and hope it works.
[16:29] <Dr_Willis> anadon:  forums or grub docs may show an example entry for win7 that can work. or take one from someones grub.cfg that has it.
[16:29] <MrNoob> how can i add my windows 7 partition to grub
[16:29] <ruan> after adding a custom entry
[16:29] <jrtayloriv> Dr_Willis, Actually, it was the file->program associations that were screwed up. I had just assumed it wasn't since it worked fine from the desktop. Anyhow, thanks!
[16:29] <cutiyar> Dr_Willis, thansk worked
[16:30] <BluesKaj> cutiyar, open software sources and click on canonical partners and other repos not enabled , except the cdrom
[16:30] <ruan> MrNoob: if sudo update-grub2 doesn't work, then you'll need to add a custom entry
[16:30] <Dr_Willis> its odd that grub2 is not seeing the windowes.. I imagine the forums/grub2 wiki may have some tips on making it see win7
[16:30] <ruan> i've seen quite a few people with this issue
[16:30] <anadon> Dr_Willis: where??
[16:30] <MrNoob> that worked i think
[16:31] <cutiyar> BluesKaj, all are enable except cdrom
[16:31] <FunnyLookinHat> So I uninstalled Gwibber.... now I tried to re-install it and it won't show up... I mean - notifications show up, but I can't actually open any application window.
[16:31] <BluesKaj> cutiyar, have you updated?  in the console , sudo apt-get update
[16:32] <speedy> anadon : boot to the grub menu hit e to edit and add it in find out what drive first like sda sdab etc... i could be wrong but mine is sda and its in my boot menu and works fine
[16:32] <cutiyar> BluesKaj, yes worked thanks
[16:32] <BluesKaj> cutiyar, now, sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:32] <speedy> after u do that b sure to update-grub to c it
[16:32] <cutiyar> BluesKaj, why upgrade?
[16:33] <yohyoh> Does anyone here run a pure-ftpd-mysql server? I am trying to edit some of the arguments that the daemon starts with and I can't find the file to edit
[16:33] <BluesKaj> cutiyar, that will upgrade any existing packages and make more packages available in your source repos
[16:34] <cmyrland> Hey guys.. It seems like my Fn+F1 wireless killswitch doesn't work, and it's currently set to "off", so I can't get the laptop online. Any ideas what to do? This bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/295216 kinda resembles mine, but I cannot find my DMI_VENDOR in /lib/udev/rules.d/95-keymap.rules.. Halp :s
[16:34] <cutiyar> BluesKaj, aha ok thansk i will do it later because my internet not that good now
[16:34] <BluesKaj> cutiyar, it doesn't upgrade the OS, just the packages you have installed
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> cmyrland:  ive had to boot to windows.. turn on the switch then reboot back to linux. on some problem machines
[16:35] <cutiyar> BluesKaj, i know but i have 256 mb in update manager
[16:35] <cmyrland> Dr_Willis, I don't have Windows here :/
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> cmyrland:  No idea then.
[16:35] <cmyrland> and it should be possible to tell the computer that this is the killswitch
[16:36] <MisterTickles> Hey guys, I installed UNR 10.10 on my netbook but I can't figure out how to connect to the internet through my wireless router. I've been trying since yesterday but the OS just won't show me the wireless networks. It's becoming urgent I get connected and would appreciate some help.
[16:36] <anadon> speedy: I know it's sda2 but I don't know how to make a custom entry with that
[16:36] <Dr_Willis> cmyrland:  some of those 'switches' are actually buttons, not really switches.. there may be some kernel options or commands to force it on without the button
[16:36] <hedin> j/ ##PASTE
[16:36] <vale> hey there, i know it sounds crazy but i want to give it a try
[16:37] <vale> is it possible to install ubuntu on a gps navigator?
[16:37] <vale> instead of win CE
[16:37] <cutiyar> while compiling the source by ./configure at last line it say "http://pastebin.com/TGUeSmtg"
[16:38] <vick> Hello. What is the default behavior of the equal operator ? Is it the same as the copy constructor ?
[16:38] <sipior> vick: i think you've got the wrong channel :-)
[16:38] <ljsoftnet> is there a intel gma 3150 graphics driver:
[16:38] <MisterTickles> Can anyone at all help me out?
[16:38] <Dr_Willis> vale:   given the low specs... i would doubt it..  plus what cpu is the thing using.
[16:38] <vick> sipior, Oh my bad. Thanks.
[16:39] <jfcaron> I think I'm in a bit of trouble.  I made a big bash script with several hundred lines of "apt-get -y --reinstall install <packagename>", which is now running.  Unfortunately it is taking a long time to process, and it's only about 15% through the lines, and I need to shut down the computer (leaving work with laptop, then getting on a plane).  What is the safest way to stop this script from running, without causing problems from having interrupted
[16:39] <Pici> jfcaron: hit ctrl-c while its downloading a package.
[16:39] <MisterTickles> Hey guys, I installed UNR 10.10 on my netbook but I can't figure out how to connect to the internet through my wireless router. I've been trying since yesterday but the OS just won't show me the wireless networks. It's becoming urgent I get connected and would appreciate some help.
[16:39] <jfcaron> Pici: What if I miss?
[16:40] <cmyrland> Dr_Willis, yeah, dmesg tells me that the key combo is uknown and says something about 0x6a, which I guess is the name of my F1 button
[16:40] <Dr_Willis> MisterTickles:  does the 'addational drivers' tool suggest any other drivers for your wireless?
[16:40] <sipior> jfcaron: shut down the network interface, and the script will fail on its own
[16:40] <madwill> is there anyway to record sound without a soundcard ?
[16:40] <Pici> sipior: Good idea.
[16:40] <MisterTickles> Dr_Willis: I'll try to find that additional drivers thing. I'm entirely new to Linux.
[16:41] <anadon> Need help with grub here not reconizing win7
[16:41] <madwill> i'd like pulse audio or alsa to create a virtual soundcard and i could use to make ffmpeg thinkgs there is one and then record sounds from it
[16:41] <MisterTickles> Dr_Willis: When I click on the little ubuntu icon on the top left then search for additional drivers, I see two tools. One which's icon is a chip and a lock in front of it, the other which is a box with a ruler and other stuff in it.
[16:41] <jfcaron> sipior,pici: Thanks.
[16:41] <MisterTickles> Which one am I supposed to use? They both have the same name.
[16:42] <Dr_Willis> MisterTickles:  i dont use the netbook edition. so not sure what you are refering to.
[16:42] <Dr_Willis> MisterTickles:  open terminal and run 'gksudo jockey-gtk' perhaps. :)
[16:42] <MisterTickles> Okay.
[16:43] <jiltdil> MisterTickles:https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/connect-to-internet.html#wireless  perhaps u get some hep
[16:43] <anadon> grub help, need to get windows 7 working
[16:43] <MisterTickles> Dr_Willis: I did that, it prompted me for my pass which I put in and I got: Downloading package indexes failed, please check your network status. Most drivers will not be available.
[16:43] <Magnus> I am not even sure if this is the best IRC-channel for my questions. Where should I post questions on Ubuntu and ISPconfig 3?
[16:44] <cba123> I have a few USB drives, that I can't mount as a user.  Only as root.  I can then browse the drives as a user, but can't write to them.  If I try to mount via nautilus, I get "Only root can mount /dev/sd* to /media/*" any ideas?
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> MisterTickles:  i would connect a wired cable.. and let it check again. yoru wireless card may need addational drivers.
[16:44] <MisterTickles> Okay Dr_Willis, I'll try doing that.
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> cba123:  what filesystem is on the drives?
[16:44] <Pici> Magnus: If thats running on ubuntu server you could try asking in #ubuntu-server
[16:44] <MisterTickles> Dr_Willis: Is it okay if I stay here to inform you of progress?
[16:44] <Dr_Willis> MisterTickles:  as long as you are going to run a cable.. do a update/upgrade also.
[16:45] <Magnus> Thanks Pici! :)
[16:45] <Dr_Willis> MisterTickles:  Ive not had to mess with wireless in ages.. so  You got most all tehinfo ui ahve on the topic. :) otheres in here may be able to help with other issues that come up.
[16:45] <Magnus> Bye
[16:45] <anadon> some one, please, I need help with grub!
[16:45] <Pumpkin-> where is the X display driver to load configured. I'm just doing a demo and I don't really care about X performance, I just want it to work, so I want to set it to use vesa as what its using now has some issues.
[16:46] <MisterTickles> Dr_Willis: I plugged in an ethernet cable. I'm now connected to the internet.
[16:46] <MisterTickles> Dr_Willis: Do I try gksudo jockey-gtk again?
[16:46] <cba123> Dr_Willis, ext4
[16:47] <vale> so nobody knows how to install ubuntu on a gps navigator?
[16:48] <Dr_Willis> cba123:  you must follow the proper ownership and permissions of the files on the drives.  if the files are not owned by the users.. then they cant access the files.
[16:48] <Dr_Willis> MisterTickles:  yes.
[16:48] <MisterTickles> Dr_Willis: I did, it did some updating or something. Now it popped up an issue about there being no proprietary drivers in use on this system with "Broadcom STA wireless driver">
[16:48] <Dr_Willis> anadon:  heres a paste of my grub.cfg - lines 69-77  (or ther eabout) are the entry to boot windows for me.
[16:48] <MisterTickles> I get an option to activate the driver. I'm going to do that.
[16:48] <jiltdil> MisterTickles: what is the output of cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
[16:48] <Dr_Willis> MisterTickles:  if you are lucky thats all you needed.
[16:48] <cba123> Dr_Willis, I've tried chmod and chown
[16:49] <MisterTickles> Dr_Willis: What would have been the manual equivalent to typing gksudo jockey-gtk in terminal?
[16:49] <MisterTickles> jiltdil: One moment please :) It's updating some driver.
[16:49] <Dr_Willis> cba123:  you havent been doing it right then.  :)  you may want to chown/chmod the Mountpoint. AFTER the disk is mounted. so the root of the drive is also owned by the user.
[16:49] <speedy> anadon: try this link it may help with grub and win7 >>  http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-do-i-add-windows-xp-to-grub-boot-loader-375198/
[16:49] <Dr_Willis> MisterTickles:  system -> admin -> addational drivers.
[16:49] <sipior> vale: that's begging the question, isn't it? it's not at all clear that such a thing would be possible, especially when you haven't mentioned the make of the device in question. if you're looking for a fun project, however, perhaps you've found it.
[16:49] <MisterTickles> Ah okay.
[16:50] <speedy> anadon: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/how-do-i-add-windows-xp-to-grub-boot-loader-375198/
[16:50] <cba123> Dr_Willis, I did "sudo chmod 777 /media/foo" even added -R and "sudo chown cba123 /media/foo"
[16:50] <jiltdil> Dr_wills: how to password protect ur terminal
[16:50] <Dr_Willis> cba123:  i do similer things all the time with no hassles..  double check ownership of the files/drives
[16:50] <Dr_Willis> jiltdil:  that dose not make any sence.. clarify what you mean.
[16:51] <jfcaron> Is there a way to boot into a non-graphical ubuntu to do basic maintenance?  Like a "safe-mode"-equivalent?
[16:51] <ruan> jfcaron: yes there is recovery mode
[16:51] <Dr_Willis> jfcaron:  the 'text' option,  can do that.. then theres the normal recovery mode..
[16:51] <jiltdil> Dr_Willis: i want to lock my terminal with password.how to do this
[16:51] <Dr_Willis> jiltdil:  no idea. never needed to.
[16:51] <jfcaron> ruan, Dr_Willis: Is it accessed through a special key to press at bootup?
[16:51] <Dr_Willis> jiltdil:  check the package manager perhaps.
[16:51] <Dr_Willis> jfcaron:  its in the normal grub menus
[16:51] <ruan> jfcaron: usually not, it's a different boot option
[16:52]  * Dr_Willis hates how grub autohides on some systems..
[16:52] <vale> (sipior) yes, it would be funny, but i have no idea how to compile a gps ubuntu version :S
[16:52] <ruan> jfcaron: also, you can boot into graphical mode from recovery with "startx"
[16:52] <Dr_Willis> or edit the grub line at boot and replace 'quiet splash' with 'text' or 'recovery' (i think)
[16:52] <MisterTickles> Dr_Willis: That fixed it!! Thank you so much!
[16:52] <ruan> my grub never hid itself :S
[16:52] <vale> sipior:  yes, it would be funny, but i have no idea how to compile a gps ubuntu version :S
[16:52] <jfcaron> ruan, Dr_Willis: Ok so first thing is to make grub show itself.
[16:53] <ruan> jfcaron: yep
[16:53] <cba123> Dr_Willis, I just opened a root nautilus, and when I try to change the "permissions" of a folder to allow "read and write" file access, it goes back to "---"
[16:53] <ruan> wasn't there a key to show it.. was it shift?
[16:53] <sipior> jiltdil: you're looking for "vlock"
[16:53] <Dr_Willis> cba123:  i would never run nautilus as root..  try it from the command line.
[16:53] <jiltdil> sipior:dont know about this explain
[16:54] <sipior> jiltdil: "sudo apt-get install vlock; vlock"
[16:54] <cba123> Dr_Willis, I knew it wasn't great to do, but I just wanted to try.
[16:54] <Dr_Willis> cba123:  if you are setting permissions and they are changeing back.. that sounds like either a weird but, some security setting, or  somthing ive never seen befor.. :)
[16:54] <sipior> jiltdil: perhaps i misunderstand what you're trying to accomplish?
[16:55] <ruan> is there a way i can add a folder to Places?
[16:55] <jiltdil> sipior:no i m not asking about that
[16:55] <speedy> I am no Linux Guru but I will try and help best I can
[16:55] <jiltdil> sipior: otherwise , what vlock does?
[16:55] <sipior> jiltdil: it locks your terminal until you provide your password.
[16:55] <jiltdil> !vlock
[16:56] <jiltdil> sipior:interactive terminal or terminal in gui
[16:56] <km> whatis good wireless that i can use with eeepc
[16:56] <sipior> jiltdil: those are both interactive terminals.
[16:56] <Baba_b00ie> if i have ssh setup on my desktop. (which i do) how would i connect to a networked x11 session ?
[16:57] <jiltdil> sipior: how to use this
[16:57] <jiltdil> sipior: after installing
[16:57] <sipior> jiltdil: type "vlock"
[16:58] <speedy> adadon: did that link help
[16:58] <jiltdil> sipior: nice thanx!
[16:58] <km> what's a good wireless app that i can use to autodect and setup wireless connection?
[16:58] <ruan_> km: there is one preinstalled
[16:59] <speedy> Network manger applet v0.8
[16:59] <sbalneav> km: If you're using the standard Ubuntu desktop, NetworkManager which comes preinstalled, should work OK
[16:59] <km> what's it call
[16:59] <hwilde> km, wicd ?
[16:59] <km> yes
[16:59] <jiltdil> sipior: how to set it like that on every time when i open terminal automatically vlock executes itself?
[16:59] <ruan_> km: network manager
[16:59] <km> ok
[16:59] <speedy> it come default
[16:59] <km> need to install wicd

[17:00] <km> ok
[17:00] <MrNoob> hello i just updated grub2 but when i go to win7 loader i just get a black screen?
[17:00] <sipior> jiltdil: you want to lock the terminal when you start it? why not just not spawn the terminal until you're ready to use it?
[17:00] <magellan> may i ask whats the command that count the line in a file
[17:00] <sipior> jiltdil: you could add it to .bashrc, i suppose. that would drive be crazy in short order, frankly.
[17:01] <MrNoob> any ideas?
[17:01] <jiltdil> sipior: should i go to /etc/bashrc
[17:01] <Pici> magellan: wc -l filename
[17:01] <MrNoob> you just helped me but i get a black screen now?
[17:01] <MrNoob> hello i just updated grub2 but when i go to win7 loader i just get a black screen?
[17:01] <sipior> jiltdil: i wouldn't. it's a bad idea, frankly.
[17:01] <corinth> I'm using Ubuntu 10.10, which is up to date with updates. I just installed the ATI flgrx restricted driver...and after rebooting to enable it I'm stuck at a text login. Help?
[17:02] <speedy> corinth: boot with ur cd r dvd and do a recovery process
[17:03] <OraLinda> Hi all.
[17:03] <corinth> speedy: I installed using Wubi
[17:03] <OraLinda> Where can I get the source for the gorgeous libvisual plugin infinite I can see running in Totem ?
[17:03] <jiltdil> sipior:thanx i only want to learn not to apply this on sys
[17:05] <speedy> so ur running win? and ubunbtu side by side not sure really on wubi boot to safe mode uninstall it try again maybe read up on wubi never really used it
[17:05] <cmyrland> Dr_Willis, I just ran lshw for the heck of it and saw that my wireless interface has firmware=N/A. Does that mean anything to you? Is there a problem with the firmware on the wifi card?
[17:06] <Tuplinki> ersi
[17:06] <corinth> speedy: there's no difference between Wubi and regular Ubuntu when it comes to troubleshooting a problem with Ubuntu itself. I'm sure there's a better option than "recover using the CD", but thanks anyway!
[17:06] <Dr_Willis> cmyrland:  means nothing to me.
[17:06] <Dr_Willis> Wubi does boot in a radically differnt way.. so fixing boot issues can be a major issue. :)
[17:07] <erUSUL> cmyrland: maybe the card does not need firmware ...
[17:07] <MrNoob> does anybody know how to verify grub srttings
[17:07] <Dr_Willis> MrNoob:  depends on what you mean exactly. was your black screen  with GRUB? or on the windows boot? or where exactly
[17:08] <cmyrland> erUSUL, maybe. I'm just so frustrated now.. I feel like the solution is right in front of me, but I can't switch the rf on :s
[17:08] <corinth> Dr_Willis: Yes, but I'm fully booted. This is a display problem :P
[17:08] <erUSUL> cmyrland: what wifi chip ?
[17:08] <MrNoob> DR_willis when i loaded win7 loader i got a black screen
[17:08] <cmyrland> erUSUL, rt2500pci
[17:09] <erUSUL> cmyrland: i have one of those. is pci on a desktop and does not use firmware
[17:09] <erUSUL> cmyrland: what is the problem?
[17:09] <speedy> sorry could not b  more of help on that
[17:09] <a> tes
[17:09] <cmyrland> erUSUL, should be supported just fine, but it appears that the rf toggle has been switched off. The only toggle on the computer is Fn+F1, but the computer doesn't recognize the combo and I'm screwed...
[17:10] <anoob> i cannot compile sflphone: "No package 'webkit-1.0' found", any ideia?
[17:10] <jiltdil> how to execute ifconfig on every opening of terminal automatically?
[17:11] <ruan> jiltdil: create a bash script to launch terminal with ifconfig?
[17:11] <cmyrland> erUSUL,  there are also some acpi issues on this computer. I have to use acpi=force, without it the pci card doesn't get an IRQ address. With acpi none of my usb ports work.
[17:11] <erUSUL> cmyrland: sudo rfkill unblock all
[17:11] <jiltdil> ruan: how to do this>
[17:11] <ruan> jiltdil: or add a shortcut which runs terminal with the command ifconfig
[17:11] <cmyrland> erUSUL, rfkill list says it's a hw-block
[17:11] <cmyrland> drives me crazy
[17:11] <becker_11> Hi I'm hoping someone here can point me in the direction of an article that explains how multiple commands now run side by side at boot time I can't for the life of me find it via Google
[17:11] <cmyrland> erUSUL, will you be around later?
[17:11] <erUSUL> cmyrland: looks like an acpi issue then
[17:12] <cmyrland> erUSUL, I have to go AFK now... I'll poke you later, ok?
[17:12] <speedy> have it autostart a terminal for u and create a bash script to excute ifconfig for u i think
[17:12] <erUSUL> cmyrland: ok
[17:12] <toto__> guys, i like a lot the font of 10.10: is this part of the ttf-ubuntu-font-family package?
[17:13] <km> wicd is a nice wireless app
[17:13] <jiltdil> speedy: i want to say that as i open my terminal i will get output of ifconfig automatically
[17:13] <toto__> Dr_Willis, i know you said not to do so, ... but I am installing/compiling gnome-shell from git sources, in 10.10 :) sooooo long :)
[17:14] <becker_11> jiltdil: you need to enter it in your bashrc file
[17:14] <toto__> was far too curious and the repos version was not working
[17:14] <sahilshines> hello every1
[17:14] <anadon> continuing grub problems--
[17:14] <sipior> jiltdil: simply add "ifconfig" to your .bashrc (for non-login shells), or .profile (for login shells)
[17:14] <sahilshines> hello every1
[17:14] <km> it looks like i don't need to tweak anythings  to get 10.10 working on eeepc 901?
[17:14] <speedy> just add it to .bashrc to do that
[17:14] <jiltdil> becker_11;sipior:vi /etc/bashrc gives no output
[17:15] <anubarack_> Does ubuntu still send CDs by mail ?
[17:15] <sipior> jiltdil: don't add it to the system bashrc
[17:15] <erUSUL> speedy: that will execute it everytime oyu open a terminal... and it will print thwe output too

[17:17] <rwat> sahilshines: is your root partition on lvm?
[17:17] <speedy> jiltdil : hope it helps
[17:17] <becker_11> rwat: but I want the article to show him instead of just having my word to go on
[17:17] <ruan> why not let him try it and see?
[17:18] <sahilshines> i dont think so....ubuntu is installed in the 160gb harddisk and that hardisk contains only 1 partion
[17:18] <becker_11> ruan: email conversation he's not in the same state as me

[17:21] <cyoz> ok, thanks so far
[17:21] <Flirty> anybody knows what is loopbacktesting is in wvdial. Something about exit code 17?
[17:21] <Ntemis> please guys i need you help
[17:22] <Ntemis> i just tried to update samba on my server and i f*** it up badly
[17:22] <Ntemis> my server is ubuntu 10.10 and i tried to update to samba 3.5.8 from here
[17:22] <speedy> I have never tried booting to differnet linux version lets say Ubuntu/Mandrivia dual boot never tried this before I have always dual booted winXX and Linux Distro
[17:23] <Ntemis> ftp://ftp.sernet.de/pub/samba/3.5/debian/dists/lenny/main/binary-amd64/
[17:23] <sbalneav> Ntemis: How did you do the update?  With the standard update tools?
[17:23] <terry> cyoz: Use ext4 filesyste.  Make a swap partiton about the size of your RAM.  The rest if up to you.  You can just have 2 partitons, one for swap and one for the rest, which is simpliest.
[17:23] <speedy> to update what ?
[17:23] <Ntemis> samba
[17:23] <speedy> use apt-get update
[17:23] <terry> cyoz: The bootloader goes in the MBR
[17:23] <sbalneav> Ntemis: You downloaded a debian version of samba?  That would be a problem if you're on ubuntu.
[17:23] <speedy> use apt-get upgrade
[17:23] <Ntemis> http://pastebin.com/NadhUFQg
[17:24] <Ntemis> please help me
[17:24] <terry> cyoz: The bootloader goes in the MBR, (which is default option anyway).
[17:24] <Ntemis> now i have umet dep
[17:24] <Ntemis> cant install cant remove
[17:24] <cyoz> terry, thanks so far.. but I'm still not sure about the bootloader there
[17:24] <speedy> to install new packages etc ...  do this sudo apt-get install packagename
[17:24] <terry> cyoz: What about the boot looader?  What is your question?
[17:25] <cyoz> should I create a new paritition for that too?
[17:25] <Ntemis> please help me unistall the conflicting packages
[17:25] <ruan> cyoz: the MBR is free of filesystem
[17:25] <terry> cyoz: No, the boot loader goes in the MBR.  (MBR = Master Boot Record).
[17:25] <ruan> cyoz: you won't need to create any partitions for it
[17:25] <cyoz> I see; I have several options there, one is "just" my physical drive
[17:25] <Abhijit> Ntemis, i dont know about the samba part but this can help for broken dependencies http://blog.bodhizazen.net/linux/apt-get-how-to-fix-very-broken-packages/
[17:25] <cyoz> so that one, right?
[17:25] <speedy> Ntemis use sysnaptic to check your packages and do a clean
[17:25] <ruan> cyoz: yes, the MBR of your physical drive
[17:25] <sbalneav> Ntemis: Have you backed up your samba config files?
[17:25] <ricorx7> cyoz: choose the non-swap partition for your bootloader
[17:25] <Ntemis> yes
[17:26] <sbalneav> Ntemis: Or better still, have you backed up everything?
[17:26] <toto__> guys, 10.10 cannot detect my external display. I googled, only "solution" is a clean fresh install. This is for me same thing as reformatting a windows comupter. do you know what could solve it?
[17:26] <terry> ricorx7 What???
[17:26] <toto__> i upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10
[17:26] <cyoz> see I have the option to "just" choose my physical drive or choose a particular partition
[17:26] <cyoz> which is what confused me
[17:26] <terry> ricorx7: what do you mean non-swap partiton?
[17:26] <ricorx7> terry: in ubuntu install, in advanced, it ask where to put the bootloader
[17:27] <ruan> hmm wait..
[17:27] <sbalneav> Ntemis: Try the page that Abhijit posted, that should help.
[17:27] <toto__> 10.10 not detecting external display, why? please, help...
[17:27] <ricorx7> non-swap, the partition that is not the the swap
[17:27] <mainrain> somehow everything in /var/lib got deleted on my machine, how can i restore?  Can't use dpkg/apt because /var/lib/dpkg doesn't exist
[17:27] <terry> cyoz: bootloader goes in the primary drive's MBR. (which will over-write MS-Window's boot loader).
[17:28] <ricorx7> or in advanced, you can tell it which partition to use.  Tell it to use the linux partition
[17:28] <ruan> ^
[17:28] <ricorx7> That way the windows MBR is kept
[17:28] <Flirty> anybody knows what is loopbacktesting is in wvdial. Something about exit code 17? pppd dies
[17:28] <Abhijit> mainrain, i dont know about the issue just a guess- you can try copying the files from a live cd?
[17:28] <sbalneav> mainrain: From backups?  Barring that, pulling one over from another box of the same version might help.
[17:28] <terry> ricorx7: Are you talking about the boot laoder?
[17:28] <terry> cyoz: Don't listen to ricorx7, he is mistaken.
[17:29] <ricorx7> i have done it enough times
[17:29] <terry> cyoz: You want to wipe the MS Windows boot loader so that grub takes over.
[17:29] <jiltdil> how to see rar file
[17:29] <FunnyLookinHat> So I uninstalled Gwibber.... now I tried to re-install it and it won't show up... I mean - notifications show up, but I can't actually open any application window.
[17:29] <cyoz> gnah.. I had hoped linux would do that
[17:29] <terry> jiltdil: unrar it first
[17:29] <ricorx7> it is more difficult to replace the MS boot loader, then to leave it alone and put grub on the linux partition
[17:29] <jiltdil> terry;s/w for it?
[17:29] <Abhijit> jiltdil, double click it?
[17:30] <ricorx7> then when you boot, MS bootloader will ask for the linux or windows partition
[17:30] <sbalneav> jiltdil: install the unrar package.
[17:30] <ricorx7> Then when the Linux partition is used, GRUB will load
[17:30] <Abhijit> jiltdil, try 7k or ark
[17:30] <Abhijit> sorry its 7zip
[17:30] <jiltdil> ko
[17:30] <terry> cyoz: Well, I guess you need to listen to ricorx7, he seems to be the expert here.
[17:30] <ruan> jiltdil: p7zip-full
[17:30] <Abhijit> jiltdil, in software center search by word 'rar' and install first three softwares
[17:31] <jiltdil> thanx all
[17:31] <cyoz> well.. everything is fresh installed and I have nothing to lose that can't be redone in 1-2 hours
[17:31] <cyoz> anyways.. does that "mount point" matter when creating the swap partition?
[17:31] <terry> cyoz: Good luck.  (I tried...:)
[17:31] <cyoz> :)
[17:31] <terry> yes
[17:32] <cyoz> . /boot?
[17:32] <terry> cyoz: Yes, the mount point does matter.
[17:32] <terry> cyoz: But do not need to specify it because the linux system will find it automatically and use it.
[17:32] <speedy> all ur mount points should matter r u may not b able to use them.
[17:33] <ruan> don't mount swap in /boot
[17:33] <ricorx7> for swap partition?
[17:33] <terry> cyoz: /boot is not the swap partition.
[17:33] <cyoz> yes, I mixed it up, the option is greyed
[17:33] <v3ctor> swap does not have a mount point
[17:34] <terry> v3ctor is correct. The swap partition does nor really have a mount point.
[17:34] <malgorath> I just hooked up a 500GB hard drive to my main PC, usually have all my HDD hooked up at setup but was wondering how you guys would setup the extra space? Like just fstab mount it as a drive in my own home directory?
[17:34] <cyoz> so.. currently I'm creating the swap paritition first, then I'll add the rest to an ext4 parition, point the bootloader option to my physical drive and keep my fingers crossed
[17:34] <terry> but ricorx7 is incorrect.  You need to write the boot loader in the MBR.
[17:35] <terry> cyoz: very good. You are on the right track.
[17:35] <BlackDragonTechy> you need swap partition and your ext4 were the / is mounted
[17:35] <Flirty> bye guys .. seems you haven't got answer.
[17:35] <mati_> mati
[17:35] <ricorx7> not really, you can write the bootloader to linux partition
[17:35] <v3ctor> terry: not incorrect, his method will work, but using the MBR is the more common approach
[17:35] <ruan> bootloader still shows up on a partition
[17:35] <ricorx7> let MS bootloader run
[17:36] <ricorx7> add the linux partition to the MS bootloader
[17:36] <AbuBadr> hi there
[17:36] <ricorx7> then select linux and grub will then run
[17:36] <ricorx7> That way windows works as orginally setup
[17:36] <kylex> hi there
[17:36] <cyoz> ok, hopefully the final question: what should I choose for "mount point" when creating the partition I will use for ubuntu?
[17:36] <terry> there's no reason to have 2 boot loaders.
[17:36] <v3ctor> cyoz: /
[17:36] <Tarek> hi peeps, wanted to know how to get an old exabyte which is a scsi device but when running the mtx command to get the status, it says that the device is busy

[17:37] <ricorx7> Linux is easily removed and added, but Windows is a pain
[17:37] <toto__> hi there, upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 doesn t detect external display anymore (VGA cable)... how can I solve this?
[17:37] <terry> ricorx7: How will having 2 boot loaders "preserve" windows?
[17:37] <Flirty> am still waiting
[17:37] <terry> ricorx7: Your logic if flawed.
[17:37] <Tarek> hi peeps, wanted to know how to get an old exabyte which is a scsi device but when running the mtx command to get the status, it says that the device is busy

[17:39] <insanity99> hey guys. in the new ubuntu, is unity optional?
[17:39] <terry> km: Or it depends on what OS's are on each.
[17:39] <toto__> insanity99, i think it s default

[17:40] <Dr_Willis> MrNoob:  if windows is failing to load.. then it may be your grub entry for windows is wrong.
[17:40] <Pici> insanity99: Natty's support and discussion channel is #ubuntu+1
[17:40] <Dr_Willis> MrNoob:  if you have no grub menu at all. then your grub setup is incorrect.
[17:40] <AbuBadr> how to install java to chrome i installed it already but its not working!!
[17:40] <weia> ricorx7: isn't there a windows dance you must tell cyoz, so the MS bootloader will actually give him the choice?
[17:40] <terry> weia: Well, if grub is broken, someone needs to fix it.  I personally haven't had trouble with it.  It's always worked fine for me.
[17:40] <ricorx7> Couple windows apps or there is a manual way

[17:41] <Dr_Willis> barf:  whats an 'emc' anyway?
[17:41] <terry> weia: But it is not that tough to get a boot disk in the PC and boot up into Linux and then fix it.  Or boot MS Windows, and fix it's boot loader and ditch Linux.
[17:41] <ricorx7> weia: sounds like he has gone further then that step
[17:42] <toto__> guys, no one for xrandr not detecting anything after a 1010 upgrade?
[17:42] <ricorx7> terry: fixing the MS bootloader is difficult
[17:42] <terry> ricorx7: Oh really?  What particular difficulty have you had?
[17:43] <barf> Dr_Willis: SAN
[17:43] <Dr_Willis> finding a proper windows boot cd.. and figureing out what commands for what windows version.. :)  can be a hassle.
[17:43] <ricorx7> terry: if you remove the MS bootloader and replace it with Grub, if you have any issues with GRUB and windows, you can not easily go back to MS bootloader
[17:43] <[TK]D-Fender> barf: Go google up "ubuntu iSCSI howto"

[17:44] <ricorx7> my experience
[17:44] <cyoz> I have no idea what just happened but I had some error during the install that said it failed to install additional stuf from CD (maybe cause I use an USB-stick?) but I am in Ubuntu right now
[17:44] <cyoz> now I have no idea where the reboot button is.. lol
[17:44] <speedy> my first was slackware and mandrake
[17:44] <Dr_Willis> MrNoob:  if windows is failing to load from the grub menu, and you added a windows entry by hand.  then it may be your grub entry for windows is wrong.
[17:44] <besogon> AbuBadr: What have you installed actually?
[17:44] <MrNoob> Dr_Willis i have a grub menu
[17:45] <AbuBadr> besogon, i installed the latest from java.com
[17:45] <MrNoob> Dr_willis i allready had windows then i made a partition to install ubuntu
[17:46] <Dr_Willis> AbuBadr:  you really should use the java thats in the repos.
[17:47] <nishant> !safari
[17:47] <nishant> how to install safari
[17:47] <cyoz> guys.. there is not shut down button here?
[17:47] <cyoz> -.-
[17:47] <AbuBadr> besogon, Dr_Willis, i installed this one   jre-6u24-linux-x64.bin   and this as will jre-6u24-linux-i586.bin
[17:47] <ricorx7> usually top right corner
[17:47] <ricorx7> circle with a line through it
[17:47] <terry> cyoz: Where are you at?
[17:48] <cyoz> ricorx7 yeah it has only hybernate and suspend
[17:48] <cyoz> terry good question actually
[17:48] <cyoz> I had some strange error in the setup but I am in ubuntu now
[17:48] <v3ctor> AbuBadr: install the sun-java6-bin package from the repo and it should just work after you restart chrome
[17:48] <terry> cyoz: What did the error say?
[17:48] <cyoz> failed to load addition (something) from CD
[17:48] <Dr_Willis> AbuBadr:  i suggest using the ones in the repos.. not the ones you download from sun.
[17:49] <besogon> AbuBadr: http://www.java.com/en/download/faq/chrome.xml
[17:49] <cyoz> I think I just force a reboot and see what happens
[17:49] <ruan> lol'd
[17:49] <terry> cyoz: Did you test the CD for integrity?
[17:49] <cyoz> I used an USB stick
[17:49] <terry> cyoz: USB stick for what?
[17:49] <AbuBadr> besogon, Dr_Willis, where can i find  repo?    what is repo!!?
[17:49] <ruan> cyoz: did you check the md5 of the iso?
[17:49] <cyoz> for the installation
[17:49] <cyoz> didn't
[17:50] <detroitwilly> cyoz: are you on a laptop or desktop?
[17:50] <cyoz> currently laptop here but installing it ony my desktop
[17:50] <terry> cyoz: Oh, well, I don't know about a USB install for Ubuntu.... I thought you said the error was about failing to load something from the CD?
[17:50] <ruan> check the md5
[17:50] <detroitwilly> cyoz: have you checked power management settings? can you select shutdown when power button is pressed?
[17:50] <besogon> AbuBadr: try reinstalling the Chrome
[17:50] <cyoz> terry it did say that
[17:51] <terry> I wish we knew exactly what it said.
[17:51] <ruan> terry: the usb is in a livecd environment
[17:51] <ruan> which is why it calls itself a cd
[17:51] <cyoz> I rebooted and it loads windows 7 without bootmanager
[17:51] <AbuBadr> besogon, ok i'll do so   thanks
[17:51] <cyoz> -..-
[17:52] <terry> cyoz: Not knowing where in the install it failed, we have no way of advising you on what to do next.  But sounds like you just need to start over.
[17:52] <terry> cyoz: I would say check your media and try again.
[17:52] <ruan> yeah
[17:52] <ruan> !md5
[17:52] <anadon> Hey, who's up for helping me with grub?
[17:52] <itilious> anadon, i can try :)
[17:52] <Dr_Willis> MrNoob:  you really havent been very clear on the problem.. yes you ahve windows.. and linux. but iother then that - you havent been saying a lot.. talk to the channel. dont just PM me.. I may have to leave at any time..
[17:52] <anadon> win7 isn't showing up on it
[17:53] <weia> cyoz: where did you put the bootloader, MBR or partition?
[17:53] <Dr_Willis> anadon:  seems to be a common issue today.
[17:53] <cyoz> weia I pointed ti directly at my physical drive
[17:53] <anadon> itilious: thanks!  WIndows 7 won't show up
[17:53] <itilious> anadon, did you install ubuntu first, win7 second?
[17:53] <ruan> directly to physical drive = mbr
[17:53] <jackspike>  can i used security cameras attached to computer (with the required card)    instead of webcams?
[17:53] <anadon> Dr_Willis: same guy(me) each time--no one's helped all the way through
[17:53] <jackspike> what is free software for video surveilance?
[17:54] <barf> [TK]D-Fender: Is this: http://www.howtoforge.com/iscsi_on_linux still best practice?
[17:54] <weia> cyoz: ok, that means MBR. but by what you're saying, it didn't actually touch the MBR
[17:54] <speedy> install win7 first then ubuntu and it win7 will be on ur grub bootmanager
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> anadon:  thers been other nicks.. i gave you a pastebin of my grub.cfg earlier i think. You could of just cut/pasted and 3edited the right lines int o your /etc/grub.d/41_custom
[17:54] <cyoz> I suspect something went wrong because of the USB stick
[17:54] <Dr_Willis> I think that was you. :) i have been doing other work today
[17:54] <anadon> itilious: they were working then I had to re-install win7 then recovered ubuntu, now win7 can't get to the boot screen--the option doesn't appear on grub
[17:54] <cyoz> but I followed the instructions closely...
[17:55] <[TK]D-Fender> barf: grub here not reconizing win7
[17:55] <ruan> cyoz: if it fails to load an element, it's most probably an integrity issue
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> anadon:  and you did boot to ubuntu and reran 'sudo update-grub' ?
[17:55] <jackspike>  can i used security cameras attached to computer (with the required card)    instead of webcams?
[17:55] <jackspike> what is free software for video surveilance?
[17:55] <anadon> Dr_Willis: no you didn't give me a pastebin, link or anything of your grub.cfg
[17:55] <ruan> jackspike: check the ubuntu software center
[17:55] <[TK]D-Fender> barfnext time, always specify your OS in your search and find the guides with specific info on yours
[17:55] <itilious> anadon, i know its simple and mean no disrespect by suggesting the obvious lol,, but did you try "sudo update-grub"?
[17:55] <anadon> Dr_Willis: several times
[17:55] <ruan> update-grub2*
[17:55] <Dr_Willis> anadon:  heres a paste of my grub.cfg - lines 69-77  (or ther eabout) are the entry to boot windows for me.
[17:55] <ruan> grub is legacy
[17:55] <itilious> sorry, just saw Dr_Willis asked already and you answered already lol
[17:55] <MrNoob> well i made a 40gb partition then i installed ubuntu on the 40gb partition i installed grub but when i click windows7 loader i just get a blank screen wit a white blinkin line
[17:55] <anadon> itilious: yes, many times
[17:56] <Dr_Willis> anadon:  i did.... :) that was in my history buffer.
[17:56] <bytesaber_work> why does ubuntu still to this day not have an iptables service?
[17:56] <ruan> what is iptables?
[17:56] <sipior> bytesaber_work: write one, if it bothers you.
[17:57] <bytesaber_work> sipior, what bothers me, is how it's still ignored.
[17:57] <Dr_Willis> anadon:  Hmm?  I just pasted it again.. let me check...../   http://pastebin.com/pBCLNNzG
[17:57] <anadon> there
[17:57] <bytesaber_work> how can something as popular and active as ubuntu still suffer all the missing components debian suffers?
[17:57] <sipior> bytesaber_work: no one cares. if you do, change it.
[17:57] <MrNoob> but when i do gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst its empty
[17:57] <ruan> there are many iptables tools on ubuntu software center it seems
[17:57] <Dr_Willis> MrNoob:  menu.lst is for the old grub.. not grub2.
[17:57] <sipior> bytesaber_work: whinging in #ubuntu-offtopic, by the way.
[17:57] <bytesaber_work> sipior, i fail to understand how no one cares.  even windows has one.
[17:57] <Pumpkin-> bytesaber_work: it has ufw and I'm sure other firewall management setups.
[17:57] <Dr_Willis> !firewall
[17:57] <MrNoob> whats for gtub2 then
[17:58] <Dr_Willis> MrNoob:  you edit th eproper /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/ files as needed
[17:58] <erkan^> is imap for gmail.com on thunderbird -->  imap.googlemail.com
[17:58] <erkan^> ?
[17:58] <anadon> Dr_Willis: I have no idea what to do with that
[17:58] <bytesaber_work> why am i being expected to inject my own "customization" into the boot processes?   A kernel firewall configuration isn't supposed to be a custom moddification.
[17:58] <Dr_Willis> MrNoob:  then rerun sudo update-grub
[17:58] <sipior> bytesaber_work: then use something else.
[17:58] <MrNoob> ok let me try it
[17:58] <anadon> Dr_Willis: I think you have a different configuration than I
[17:58] <bytesaber_work> somethign else just uses iptables
[17:58] <Dr_Willis> anadon:  cut/paste the lines i mentioned into your /etc/grub.d/41_custom   and edit them to boot your windows install.
[17:58] <ruan> does update-grub update grub2?
[17:59] <Dr_Willis> anadon:  mine is on sda1 i think.
[17:59] <Dr_Willis> ruan:  yes..
[17:59] <bytesaber_work> service iptables restart (service not found)
[17:59] <ruan> ah ok
[17:59] <bytesaber_work> iptables-save > iptables.conf        yet nothing will ever read and load the .conf
[17:59] <terry> bytesaber_work:   What exactly are you tryint to do?
[18:00] <sipior> bytesaber_work: file a bug report.
[18:00] <kiffa> lame
[18:00] <Darkenvy> so can I just not auto-join #ubuntu because of the new bot check?
[18:00] <kiffa> can black ppl use ubuntu for free too ?
[18:00] <bytesaber_work> terry, got a system up and running.  i've typed in all my desired iptables configurations.  i save them.    reboot.  no service in ubuntu exists to load my iptables config.
[18:00] <sipior> kiffa: run along now and play outside.
[18:00] <kiffa> can black ppl use ubuntu for free too ?
[18:00] <ruan> lol
[18:00] <kiffa> because if
[18:00] <lucid_j> ;-)
[18:01] <Darkenvy> anyways, I need to setup Ubuntu to not ever write to the USB drive its installed to. Dont ask, im reviving a dead laptop for free to supply someone in need of a computer
[18:01] <Darkenvy> everything is all isntalled and good now. but writing to the USB flash drive will shorten life
[18:01] <bytesaber_work> \ignore sipior
[18:01] <Pici> Darkenvy: Its temporary, register your nick to bypass it if we need to enable it in the future.
[18:01] <nishant> can i install safari ?
[18:01] <Darkenvy> ah thanks pici
[18:01] <speedy> there is a tool just view the grub boot menu
[18:02] <rooks>  how to check what is using my hdd?
[18:02] <sipior> bytesaber_work: try harder.
[18:02] <ricorx7> readonly
[18:02] <[TK]D-Fender> nishant: Under Wine, probably
[18:02] <Darkenvy> ricorx7 you talking to me?
[18:02] <nishant> Not ubuntu distro ?
[18:02] <MrNoob> dr willis im confussed
[18:02] <anadon> Dr_Willis: I'm sorry for having to ask this, but what's the file location?
[18:02] <[TK]D-Fender> nishant: I seriously doubt Apple ported anything that Ubuntu can use directly
[18:02] <Darkenvy> I need to stop ubuntu from writing to the disk! how?
[18:03] <nishant> Right I think thats the case . Tough luck , how is opera and how to install on Ubuntu
[18:03] <nishant> Just want to try out the browsers
[18:03] <Pumpkin-> Darkenvy: mount it readonly. If you literally NEVER want to write to it, thats going to mean intercepting the boot process and giving it some custom boot flags to run a custom init (like init=/bin/bash), and then never mounting anything RW.
[18:03] <bytesaber_work> terry, alternatively i have to get rc.local to load an iptalbes-restore at boot time.  however when rc.local starts, there is already open networking in place long after.  i need these rules active in the kernel long before networking begins.
[18:03] <speedy> opera just use the repos
[18:03] <[TK]D-Fender> Darkenvy: Make a bootable "live CD" image onto it.  It shouldn't write back ever
[18:03] <km> how come apt-get doesn't have search feature?
[18:03] <nishant> ok
[18:03] <Pumpkin-> if your okay with " a little " writing, just boot normally, set /etc/fstab for everything to be RO, remove swap and reboot.
[18:04] <sipior> km: "apt-cache search"
[18:04] <bytesaber_work> km, it does.  apt-cache search "stufftosearchfor"
[18:04] <km> oops! got. it has been too long since i last use that
[18:04] <bytesaber_work> km, but you'll have to pipe it through grep as it's search feature is so loose it's almost useless
[18:05] <km> sure
[18:05] <Dr_Willis> anadon:  You mean /etc/grub.d/41_custom ?
[18:05] <Darkenvy> So I have ubuntu made into a bootable USB disk made with "unetbootin"
[18:05] <bytesaber_work> "apt-cache search perl | grep -i perl"
[18:05] <Darkenvy> is that read only since its doing the "try linux before install" thing?
[18:05] <Dr_Willis> Darkenvy:  you can make a persistant save file.. but i dont think unetbootin can do that.
[18:06] <km> i ended up install some search app i don't need. hehe....
[18:06] <Darkenvy> sow hat is unetbootin doing? if I do something with this USB drive does it save the changes?
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> MrNoob:  dont msg me. I may have to run at any time. and dependign on what you want to do. you edit one or more of those files
[18:06] <bytesaber_work> km, "dpkg -l | grep -i thingyouinstalled"
[18:06] <Dr_Willis> MrNoob:  its worth readuing the grub2 wiki page/forum threads. it gives details on all the options
[18:06] <cyoz> alright here we go again
[18:06] <MrNoob> DR)Willis how do i add windows 7
[18:06] <cyoz> "copying data" seems to work
[18:06] <cyoz> "copying nearly complete"
[18:06]  * cyoz keeps fingers crossed
[18:06] <Starminn> Dr_Willis Darkenvy: I don't know about unetbootin, but I know whenever you make a USB using "Make startup disk" from within Ubuntu from an .iso you can choose to reserve space for documents ansd such.
[18:07] <Darkenvy> So.... in conclusion, if I dont make files/edit them while running the OS, will Linux write to the drtive? I dont want the USB drive to degrade
[18:07] <MrNoob> Dr_willis how to i add windows 7 to the grub.cfg
[18:07] <Darkenvy> I know windows writes constantly to the HDD so running widnows off of a USB drive is dfrowned upon. (or at least was back in the day)
[18:08] <drc> Darkenvy: then click the "Discard on shutdown" option, which disables the persistence option
[18:08] <rakshasa_> regarding elantech multitouch support in ubuntu 10.10 can somebody guide me in the right direction
[18:09] <rakshasa_> i am currently using modprobe psmouse=imps ...
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> MrNoob:  if 'sudo update-grub' is not showing it - You can add a custome entry to /etc/grub.d/41_custom
[18:09] <ZacLnxNewb> hi
[18:09] <cyoz> "an attempt to configure apt failed to install further pakages from CD" (translated from German, hope it's accurate enough)
[18:09] <cyoz> :/
[18:10] <dirtydevil> webcam not working, segmentation fault in libv4l2 is showing on launching cheeze, help please
[18:10] <ZacLnxNewb> So, I'm running ubuntu netbook 10,10.   THere's a recovery partition on my hard drive that I want to install Windows 7 from back onto my computer ??
[18:10] <MrNoob> ok im in there all i get is #!/bin/sh cat <<EOF if [ -f  \$prefix/custom.cfg ]; then   source \$prefix/custom.cfg; fi EOF
[18:10] <MrNoob> how do i add custom
[18:10] <Darkenvy> drc, where is that option? In the install menu? So I would need to boot from USB, then install to another USB?
[18:10] <zamnf> !help
[18:10] <thefirstdude> how do add ppa in shell
[18:11] <thefirstdude> what is the command
[18:11] <speedy> anadon: here is a tool for grub editing in a gui
[18:11] <Starminn> ZacLnxNewb: For Windows support, please go to ##windows
[18:11] <rooks> thefirstdude, apt-repository
[18:11] <anadon> speedy: what tool?
[18:11] <rooks> thefirstdude, apt-repository-add
[18:11] <Flirty> loopback detect exit code 17....pppd dies? any one wants to fix it ...
[18:11] <speedy> anadon : http://ubuntuguide.net/edit-ubuntu-grub-boot-manager-settings-with-kgrubeditorgui
[18:12] <ZacLnxNewb> Starminn: This problem was caused by ubuntu, so I plan on using both channels
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> MrNoob:  lines similer to -> http://pastebin.com/UNsYQJbp
[18:12] <drc> Darkenvy: It's in the Startup Disk Creator (at the bottom)
[18:12] <thefirstdude> rooks, says command not found
[18:12] <Darkenvy> im using unetbootin?
[18:12] <rakshasa_> thefirstdude: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ppa_name
[18:12] <Darkenvy> hold on I never used the startup disk creator
[18:12] <rooks> thefirstdude, apt-add-repository
[18:13] <thefirstdude> none of those commands found
[18:13] <Darkenvy> I mean is it even nessisary? if the ubuntu liveCD thinks its on a CD then wouldnt it not try to write to the drive its reading it from?
[18:13] <MrNoob> so vi just add that
[18:13] <rooks> apt-add-repository is on my system (10.10)
[18:13] <Darkenvy> it would only write to RAMdisk or something
[18:13] <drc> Darkenvy: then I can't help (I was just answering your question about not writing to the USB stick, missed your comment about using unetbootin, sorry)
[18:13] <anubarack_> can anyone help me install mono on ubuntu ?
[18:13] <anadon> speedy: 2 problems, 1-I have no idea how to enter data for grub, 2-that package isn't available through means given on the page
[18:14] <anadon> speedy: I don't know what grub needs or how to find that data
[18:14] <speedy> use apt to get if available
[18:14] <anadon> speedy: did
[18:14] <Darkenvy> :S
[18:14] <speedy> i will check it and c
[18:14] <Darkenvy> thanks for your help anyways. I think I may have found enough answers by bouncing ideas ;)
[18:15] <ZacLnxNewb> After I installed Ubuntu, I tried to recover windows using my recovery partition, and something goes wrong with the ubuntu boot loader, now there is no bootloader at all.
[18:15] <ZacLnxNewb> So now I'm running ubuntu, with a recovery partition on the hard drive that I can't access to install windwos
[18:15] <mjatez> Hi, I would need to get some help getting my graphic card up n running
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> It seems to be 'Grub' day today...
[18:15] <mjatez> Its a Intel
[18:15] <Dr_Willis> ZacLnxNewb:  can you mount the installed system to a location?
[18:15]  * Starminn Agrees with the doctor. ;)
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub
[18:16] <rooks>  how to check what is using my hdd?
[18:16] <thefirstdude> well, its not working for some reason
[18:16] <greppy> rooks: lsof
[18:16] <thefirstdude> is there a way to manually add ppa
[18:16] <Dr_Willis> command i often use to reinstall grub -> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/InstalledSystemMointPoint  /dev/sda --recheck
[18:16] <MrNoob> MR_Willis so like this ---> http://pastebin.com/3rFn2xAn
[18:16] <mjatez> I don't really know where to start. I read to go to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, which I know I have looked in before or earlier installations but theres no such file...
[18:16] <ZacLnxNewb> Dr_Willis: I've deleted all the partitions on my hard drive except for the recovery partition.  I made a 65 GB partition for windows to install on, but I can't run the windows recovery
