[11:32] <Untouchab1e> Hi all, I have a question regarding ntp server
[11:32] <Untouchab1e> I have a rather special situation
[11:33] <Untouchab1e> I have two computers connected to eachother. One of them is connected to the internet while the other can only receive and not send. The task: give NTP update to that computer
[11:33] <Untouchab1e> so I have set up an NTP server on the computer with internet access, but how to I push out NTP updates to the other computer that cant send any data? It needs to be set to automatically accept NTP updates I guess.. somehow
[11:34] <xbmc> Untouchab1e,  edit ntp.conf in /etc/default on client and server
[11:34] <Untouchab1e> xbmc: yes, but the problem is that the client cannot request an NTP update, it needs to be given it
[11:34] <faik> up
[11:34] <Untouchab1e> as it cant send out any data at all
[11:35] <xbmc> stealth huh?
[11:35] <xbmc> or broken wire
[11:35] <xbmc> lol
[11:35] <psyphercode> eGelor:  pls paste the interfaces file let me just check it
[11:36] <eGelor> ok
[11:36] <Untouchab1e> xbmc: uni-directional network connection ;)
[11:36] <FireCrotch> Untouchab1e: ntp broadcasting

[11:36] <eGelor> iface wlan0 inet static
[11:36] <k4rt33k> pdftotext is not working for hindi characters in pdfs. Any alternatives?
[11:36] <Untouchab1e> FireCrotch: I just found that setting in the conf..
[11:37] <Untouchab1e> I guess I need to set the client to listen to it somehow?
[11:37] <Untouchab1e> just comment out the two last bottom lines?
[11:37] <darrend> anyone know why gvfsd might suddenly have started running riot on one of my machines?  It's using 2G of RAM and soaking one of my CPU's right now

[11:38] <xbmc> Untouchable yes iinstructions in ntp.conf are straight forward

[11:53] <jamgar> blue_pearl: will try...
[11:54] <seawolf1> i installed ubuntu and then installed windows xp now at boot time it always boots in xp only
[11:54] <blue_pearl> seawolf1, reinstall grub
[11:54] <seawolf1> how can i get the grub back so that i will be asked for both of the options each time when i boot
[11:54] <seawolf1> how to reinstall grub?
[11:54] <seawolf1> using live cd?
[11:55] <blue_pearl> seawolf1, yes with live cd
[11:55] <seawolf1> the very same is applicable for fedora also?
[11:56] <seawolf1> because on my second laptop i am using fedora in place of ubuntu
[11:56] <Stargaze> seawolf1, try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[11:56] <blue_pearl> seawolf1, yes...every linux which uses grub
[11:56] <k4rt33k> what is the encoding for hindi characters other than utf-8?
[11:56] <Stargaze> !hi
[11:57] <jamgar> blue_pearl: I created ~/.fonts and after typing fc-cache -f -v ~/.font in the terminal it said "fc-cache succeeded". but i see no fonts in the directory nor the new fonts available in open office, etc
[11:58] <hyperstream> Can i use the VPN of windowsxp inside ubuntu's Virtual Box software?
[12:00] <blue_pearl> jamgar, but ~/.fonts already exists in default
[12:00] <bredoto> does anyone know how can i shape traffice on my ubuntu server machine without installation of additional vpn server? Using only ip of client in my subnet.
[12:00] <Stargaze> bredoto, type /join #ubuntu-server, please
[12:01] <bredoto> does anyone know how can i shape traffice on my ubuntu server machine without installation of additional vpn server? Using only ip of client in my subnet.
[12:01] <jamgar> blue_pearl: ok...?
[12:01] <psyphercode> bredoto: do u just want to shape one clietn connecting to your server?
[12:02] <bredoto> psyphercode, 1-10
[12:02] <blue_pearl> jamgar, ~/.fonts already contains many fonts by default
[12:03] <bredoto> i can do that using sweetch features but i woud like to do that on my ubuntu
[12:03] <jamgar> blue_pearl: not gaelach.ttf, as far as i know
[12:03] <seawolf1> i have attached a printer from the desktop(ubuntu) and want to take printouts from different network how to do that?
[12:04] <bredoto> seawolf1, use http://localhost:631
[12:04] <seawolf1> then?
[12:04] <bredoto> follow installation menu
[12:04] <Stevethepirate> When running screen, I have a little "9!!" in red on the bottom of the screen (next to available RAM, CPU speed, etc). I assume it is a warning or error. How would I check this out?
[12:05] <seawolf1> i am trying to add an printer it askes for user name and password. is there any specific for cups?
[12:05] <psyphercode> bredoto: shaping is quite complex. never done it on ubuntu. many diffrent ways of doing it
[12:05] <blue_pearl> jamgar, put the file gaelache.ttf in ~/.fonts
[12:05] <bredoto> seawolf1, no just your printer configuration on print server or regular desktop
[12:06] <bredoto> psyphercode, =)
[12:06] <erUSUL> seawolf1: how are you adding it?
[12:06] <jamgar> blue_pearl: how do i do that though?
[12:07] <ubuntudualboot> I was near the end of installing ubuntu on my system when it froze. I had to turn off the computer. How do I recover the installation?
[12:07] <seawolf1> bredoto
[12:07] <seawolf1> : cupsctl --share-printers --remote-any
[12:08] <Stevethepirate> ubuntudualboot: Any idea how far it got?
[12:08] <psyphercode> bredoto: do a bit of research on wondershaper, shaperd, tc cqb
[12:08] <Stargaze> hi, I am unable to unlock my Login Screen Settings, it won't ask for a password and does nothing
[12:08] <ubuntudualboot> this was a very complicated installation as I was trying to setup dual boot encryption and had to follow a number of special steps so I don't want to lose it
[12:08] <Stevethepirate> ubuntudualboot: Sometimes it gets to the grub-install part, in which case you can just grub-install manually.
[12:08] <seawolf1> bredoto: how should i add then?
[12:08] <ubuntudualboot> Stevethepirate: what can I do?
[12:08] <Stevethepirate> If you know how far you got
[12:08] <Stevethepirate> Then that helps.
[12:08] <Stevethepirate> But often a reinstall is wisest
[12:09] <ubuntudualboot> it was downloading the packages then went to the next screen
[12:09] <bredoto> psyphercode, thnk (i have found interested commant apt-cache search shape|grep traffic)
[12:09] <Stevethepirate> Ahhh
[12:10] <bredoto> seawolf1, first localhost:631
[12:10] <ubuntudualboot> Stevethepirate: are you there?
[12:10] <Stevethepirate> ubuntudualboot: I would recommend reinstalling.
[12:10] <bredoto> seawolf1, press button add printer
[12:11] <ubuntudualboot> Stevethepirate: why?
[12:11] <seawolf1> bredoto: done
[12:11] <bredoto> seawolf1, enter name of printer location and some description. It does not metter what you enter
[12:11] <Stevethepirate> I don't like there being a chance of a broken system :D
[12:11] <aar> Hi, a simple question: I've got a long list of URLS in text format -- what's the easiest way of converting them into hyperlinks?
[12:11] <bredoto> seawolf1, where is u rprinter installed
[12:12] <seawolf1> on the server
[12:12] <bredoto> windows?
[12:12] <jrib> aar: use sed
[12:12] <seawolf1> fedora
[12:12] <bredoto> hm
[12:13] <erUSUL> aar: awk probably
[12:13] <bredoto> seawolf1, select internet printing protocol
[12:14] <metaperl> hi. is ubuntu running emacs23? debian/testing is still on 22
[12:14] <bredoto> seawolf1, enter correspondint info about ur printer
[12:15] <bredoto> seawolf1, for additional info check this  http://localhost:631/help/network.html
[12:15] <erUSUL> !info emacs-snapshot

[12:17] <bredoto> or
[12:17] <bredoto> or

[12:18] <bredoto> seawolf1, there is a simplest way using "system" >"administrations"> "printing"

[12:24] <bredoto> UbuntuBoy, i know
[12:24] <sam_sam> yepp .. eats so much of procesor time and memory
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> UbuntuBoy:  but firefox will be faster...
[12:24] <UbuntuBoy> But this problem dont existe in windows
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> if its flash causing the slowdown..  then its flash doing the problem
[12:24] <theadmin> UbuntuBoy: It does :/
[12:24] <UbuntuBoy> OK Thanks
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> UbuntuBoy:  and adobe tests stuff more in windows.. they dont seem to care much about linux

[12:26] <bredoto> some time after i killed my ntfs partition and make it under ext4
[12:27] <bredoto> !bla-bla
[12:27] <erUSUL> bredoto: well is filesystem implemented in *userspace* so it is slower then in-kernel ones.
[12:28] <ineverexist> !cz
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> bredoto:  clarify what the problem is exactly?
[12:28] <beers> does someone know how to set a MPI 2 up? I am trying to compile a program that cannot find teh default mpi2

[12:34] <theadmin> Dr_Willis: I dunno what it does :/ Never tried it
[12:34] <cboyer195> Dr_Willis... yes, unetbootin is what i used to install yesterday
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> cboyer195:  then i suggest you reinstall in a more normal way. Unetbootin main task is to install a 'live cd type install' to a flash drive. it 'can' install to a hard drive. but its not a NORMAL type install last i looked into it
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> cboyer195:  you can use unetbootin to install to a flash drive. then reboot and install from that flash drive.
[12:36] <ineverexist> dinosaurvskitten: Preferences >> Notifi.. Enable event & Playsoundfile
[12:36] <cboyer195> theadmin... well, I didn't have a cd to write, and I wanted to boot Ubuntu
[12:36] <theadmin> cboyer195: I recommend you to use !wubi
[12:36] <cboyer195> what it's done is booted it onto my c: drive
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> cboyer195:  if you have a flash drive.. I suggest doing a normal install from a flash drive.   WUBI installs to a 'file' on the C: drive. I dont reccomend that type of install either.
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> cboyer195:  do you have 2 hard drives? or one hard drive thats just partioned?
[12:37] <cboyer195> ok, thank you, I've tried wubi, but it complains looking for a cd in drive, I have none, I just have an iso
[12:37] <theadmin> cboyer195: Put the ISO in same folder as WUBI before starting it
[12:37] <eoke> dinosaurvskitten: Try disabling Options > Sound Devices > Allow skype to automatically adjust my mixer levels
[12:37] <cboyer195> I have my c:\windows\vista drive, sdb0, 150GB, and sda0, 300 GB, I want Ubuntu on the 2nd drive
[12:38] <dinosaurvskitten> ineverexist, ?
[12:38] <dinosaurvskitten> eoke, that's already off
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> cboyer195:  then i suggest you get a flash drive and make a bootable flash drive for an installer
[12:38] <Lathund_> Does anyone know the font used in Ubuntus new logo?
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> Lathund_:  i think its called 'ubuntu' and i recall its a work in progress. not all letters are done
[12:39] <beers> does someone know how to set a MPI 2 up? I am trying to compile a program that cannot find the default mpi2
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> Lathund_:  some ubuntu news sites mentioned that last week
[12:39] <Stargaze> !wubi
[12:39] <cboyer195> ok, then I'll wait until I can afford a flash drive or RW DVD disks
[12:39] <Lathund_> Dr_Willis: Thanks.
[12:39] <erUSUL> beers: install the mpi dev packagesd
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> cboyer195:  dvd? why not cd?
[12:39] <dinosaurvskitten> eoke, and it's pretty much the only potential fix I managed to find when searching for my problem on the web
[12:39] <cboyer195> cd image is only 700, and the iso's are larger, aren't they?
[12:40] <Stargaze> to convert Wubi to a normal, dedicated installation => http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html
[12:40] <eoke> Lathund_: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/308 apparently it's new and going to be simply called Ubuntu
[12:40] <Stargaze> (i have not tried this)
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> cboyer195:  in theory you could boot the unetbootin installed system and start the installer.. and install to a diffrent partiton.  but thats a bit. weird. and may cause some issues and  you should know wht you are doing
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> cboyer195:  Not that i noticed? what did you download exactly?
[12:40] <cboyer195> Stargaze, I will try lvpm, and if that does not work, then I'll use the flash drive or disks
[12:40] <eoke> dinosaurvskitten: I tend to use SIP, so I'm not going to be any help I'm afraid.
[12:41] <ajipubuntu> sh:grub>   problem
[12:41] <Lathund_> eoke: Thanks
[12:41] <cboyer195> Ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso 706,532, using unetbtin.exe
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso                28-Oct-2009 16:14  690M
[12:43] <dinosaurvskitten> eoke, oh well, thanks anyhow
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/karmic/
[12:43] <cboyer195> really, well mine that I downloaded yesterday is the 706,532 iso, hmmm
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> cboyer195:  windows may be lieing
[12:43] <cboyer195> ahhh
[12:43] <cboyer195> probably
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> what would be the point of a 'dvd' image thats only a few mb better then an ISO :)
[12:44] <cboyer195> well, i am too poor to buy discs for another week or so and wanted to get busy using Ardour :)
[12:44] <cboyer195> so I'm too anxious, :)
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> cboyer195:  use virtualbox if you want to play with it
[12:44] <llutz> cboyer195: 706532 kB = 689.xx MB
[12:44] <cboyer195> thanks llutz
[12:44] <ajipubuntu> i have problem with my friends laptop at sh:grub>
[12:45] <Stargaze> !grub| ajipubuntu
[12:45] <cboyer195> well, i'm going to try I will try lvpm, and if that does not work, then I'll use the flash drive or disks, thanks Dr_Willis, Stargaze, theadmin
[12:46] <cboyer195> i appreciate your guys time and experience, advice
[12:46] <thunsucker> Stargaze: what boot manager does karmic use?
[12:47] <Stargaze> grub2
[12:47] <thunsucker> Stargaze: cool, i had remembered something showing "grub" so I was thinking hmmm
[12:47] <fabio333> i want to know something about "personas" in ff 3.6
[12:47] <cederlov> does anyone know how to increase the time to wait forr boot device in grub 2?
[12:48] <fabio333> is it possible to wear a persona with a different theme?
[12:48] <Stargaze> !grub| cederlov
[12:48] <fabio333> cederlov: /etc/default/grub -> then update-grub
[12:48] <sam_sam> i downloaded a linux iso image through  torrent (1.5gb)( in multiple sessions ). but by mistake in 1 session mounted partitions in wrong order so i see the file at two places both are incomplete . cannot merge them : 2GB ram ( memory exhausted ) any other way than redownload ?
[12:49] <thunsucker> sam_sam: no
[12:49] <fabio333> what about personas in ff 3.6?
[12:49] <Stargaze> cederlov, edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg and change the timeout
[12:49] <fabio333> Stargaze: do not edit that file
[12:49] <fabio333> -> /etc/default/grub
[12:50] <fabio333> NEVER edit that file with grub 2
[12:50] <thunsucker> fabio333: whats your question about personas?
[12:50] <Lord-Readman> looks like on the left menus is taking a huge beating http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/23899/
[12:51] <cederlov> so /boot/grub.cfg it is.
[12:51] <fabio333> i see personas only with the default theme... but if i use the strata theme es. the persona disappear.
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> cederlov:  you dont edit that file.  You edit the /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/### files
[12:51] <fabio333> cederlov: remember sudo update-grub
[12:52] <thunsucker> fabio333: how old are the favbio333 themes?
[12:52] <Stargaze> fabio333, i followed your advice, tnx
[12:52] <cederlov> is it the GRUB_TIMEOUT that controls the wailt for boot device?
[12:52] <thunsucker> fabio333: that theme probably doesn't support personas or they can't mix
[12:53] <fabio333> thunsucker: ff 3.6 not old
[12:53] <Stargaze> brb, testing grub
[12:53] <fabio333> thunsucker: maybe no theme works with personas on
[12:54] <blk> has somebody ever seen the "appearance preferences" not listing any themes besides "custom" (and a solution to it). It also displays a warning about missing human theme (but i just re-installed it and was there before, too)
[12:54] <thunsucker> fabio333: thats what i was getting at, second reading something about them
[12:54] <ajipubuntu> ubottu: lost grub after update ubuntu, i`ve install ubuntu on windows xp with wubi
[12:54] <thunsucker> fabio333: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/free-software-downloads/firefox-personas/
[12:54] <thunsucker> fabio333: i'm not using FF anymore, slow slow slow compared to chrome
[12:55] <fabio333> thunsucker: i know several hacks about chrome
[12:55] <fabio333> like the hidden commands those lazy ass vever documented
[12:56] <thunsucker> fabio333: you mean the same kind of commands firefox has? or similiar
[12:56] <fabio333> just open it with an hex editor you will see a lot of hidden features
[12:56] <thunsucker> don't they call them easter eggs ?
[12:56] <thunsucker> lol
[12:56] <fabio333> yeah
[12:56] <jrib> fabio333: wouldn't it be easier to read the source?
[12:56] <fabio333> chrome is closed source
[12:56] <fabio333> you mean chromium?
[12:56] <jrib> fabio333: chromium isn't
[12:57] <thunsucker> fabio333: i've used firefox exclusively for years
[12:57] <thunsucker> fabio333: but chrome is simply faster for now
[12:57] <fabio333> jrib: buth chrome is
[12:57] <fabio333> you can disable disk cache or ipv6, stuff like that.
[12:57] <jrib> fabio333: are these hidden features unique to chrome?
[12:58] <fabio333> jrib: not sure
[12:58] <fabio333> never used chromium
[12:58] <fabio333> try chrome://net-internals/ in the address bar
[12:59] <fabio333> or chrome://net-internals/view-cache
[12:59] <jrib> fabio333: I think chrome is basically just a rebranding of chromium, or at least that's how it looks
[12:59] <coz_> well I dropped chrome/chromium  last week..fast but not as configurable.. firefox on a decent system is fast enough
[12:59] <jrib> coz_: I just write my own browser!
[13:00] <coz_> jrib,  sure that works well especially with wekit
[13:01] <fabio333> coz_: webkit + v8 engine is the best tecnology out there
[13:01] <fabio333> but i prefer ff.
[13:01] <fabio333> see lateer
[13:01] <coz_> fabio333,  yeah I use firefox...it does waht its suppose to :)
[13:01] <stix> Can I change the character-set used when I use ssh to connect to a server? From windows I can specify it in the putty-client.

[13:13] <Han89> Any guides/tuts to getting starcraft 1 on ubuntu?
[13:13] <ascheel> Han89: tried searching?
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> !appdb | Han89
[13:13] <koshari> x[x] or virtual machines?
[13:14] <blackxored> Hi guys, help with debmirror, see here: http://pastebin.com/xH2qi7Sz this started happening after a power failure but it seems unrelated
[13:14] <diofeher> how can i see metadata from a file using terminal?
[13:14] <Han89> Yeah I tried a bit
[13:14] <x[x]> koshari no vms and  i uninstalled transmission and deluge
[13:14] <ascheel> diofeher, what type of file?
[13:14] <ascheel> diofeher, and what metadata in particular?
[13:14] <diofeher> ascheel: .wsgi
[13:14] <diofeher> i wanna see last modificatoin
[13:14] <diofeher> modification*
[13:15] <koshari> x[x]: did you delete any folders that were set as download locations for the p2p proggies?
[13:15] <ascheel> diofeher: 'stat filename'
[13:15] <malifal> i have set in the INPUT and FORWARD to reject if source is B and state of connection is not ESTABLISHED, RELATED.
[13:15] <diofeher> ascheel: oh, exactly what i need... thanks bro!
[13:15] <ascheel> yup
[13:15] <x[x]> koshari .. i never used the "proggies"
[13:15] <x[x]> lol
[13:16] <pbureau> sHarpp: in case ya not watching, answered you in private
[13:16] <accipter> I have an openvpn tunnel that is working and listed in ifconfig, but samba doesn't recognize the tun0 as a device
[13:17] <malifal> is anyone following up with me concerning my iptables question?
[13:17] <pbureau> malifal: nope
[13:17] <malifal> lol
[13:17] <abhi_nav> lol
[13:17] <pbureau> x[x]: proggies are best "cook on bar-b-ques" and serves with sour crout
[13:17] <jrib> !anyone | malifal, you should probably try the #iptables channel
[13:18] <Gangrel> !pannel
[13:18] <x[x]> ;) @ pbureau
[13:18] <Gangrel> !panel
[13:18] <jrib> malifal: erm, I meant to send you "!helpme" but you get the idea, just repeat your question after a reasonable amount of time, but you are more likely to get help in #iptables
[13:18] <malifal> aight
[13:19] <koshari> x[x]: go places>search for files> and look for files greater than 50 meg
[13:19] <pbureau> x[x]: get a second hdd ? 100gb sell for like 30/45$ at frys or best buy

[13:21] <pbureau> x[x]: using gnome ? then <System><administration><computer janitor> also empty your trash can (bottom rigth of screen)
[13:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> I can't get aptitude suggestions or completion.
[13:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> !es | ales366
[13:21] <ascheel> !es ales366
[13:21] <ascheel> dang it, SpaceGhostC2C beat me to it
[13:21] <x[x]> pbureau:  ths is ubuntu remix
[13:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> ascheel: I'll let you get the next one :)
[13:22] <ascheel> :)
[13:22] <ales366> i cant speak english...im a spanish
[13:22] <ales366> :S
[13:22] <pbureau> chuckles you too should keep a scoreboard... and who gets most in a month ask for a raise
[13:22] <ascheel> going to repeat SpaceGhostC2C.....
[13:22] <blackxored> Hi guys, help with debmirror, see here: http://pastebin.com/xH2qi7Sz this started happening after a power failure but it seems unrelated
[13:22] <ascheel> !es | ales366
[13:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> ascheel: this one is totally you.
[13:22] <ascheel> SpaceGhostC2C: o/
[13:23] <x[x]> iv already used janitor it cleaned stuff up but not much at all
[13:23] <SpaceGhostC2C> ascheel: you know you can send it to them in a pm if you do !es > ascheel
[13:23] <x[x]> whats the messages fle
[13:23] <ascheel> SpaceGhostC2C: yeah, but he's paying attention to this channel
[13:23] <koshari> x[x] my messages file is 500k
[13:23] <x[x]> file*
[13:23] <x[x]> mines 1.2gb ..what is the file?
[13:23] <x[x]> whats it for?
[13:23] <ascheel> x[x], it's one of the primary log files on your system.
[13:23] <Brandano> is there a way to allow a standard user to execute pppd?
[13:23] <SpaceGhostC2C> ascheel: he can't speak spanish here.
[13:23] <sine> guys does u come with a fax option
[13:23] <ascheel> x[x] it's just a log file.  Of most things.
[13:23] <Stargaze> x[x], you can try Bleechbit, but that app may be a bit *too* thorough
[13:23] <sine> ive been using winfax and i think its pretty easy/sweet
[13:24] <x[x]> also my syslog.1 file is 1.2gb amd kern.log is 1.2gb
[13:24] <ascheel> SpaceGhostC2C: doesn't need to speak spanish here.  We both gave him the link to the spanish speaking channel
[13:24] <jrib> x[x]: you should read them and find out why
[13:24] <ascheel> x[x] many messages are duplicated between some of the logs.  syslog is usually EVERYTHING you'll find in the smaller logs.
[13:24] <SpaceGhostC2C> Brandano: yes, create a group and chmod pppd to 755 and then add the user to the group. Then make the group the owner of the file. Or add the user to the file's current group.
[13:24] <x[x]> do i need them?
[13:24] <x[x]> i doubt it since itw just a document
[13:24] <x[x]> right?
[13:24] <ascheel> it's not just a document
[13:24] <x[x]> hmm
[13:25] <ascheel> vi the file, x[x]
[13:25] <x[x]> vi?
[13:25] <jrib> x[x]: you need to read them and understand why it's so big.  That's usually indicative of some problem
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> i have to wonder why the log files are so big
[13:25] <pbureau> lol x[x] its a text files of information about what your system is doing
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> hey should be getting autorotated/cleaned/archived
[13:25] <Stargaze> nano is easier than vi, imho
[13:25] <ascheel> Stargaze: you're entitled to your opinion.  :)
[13:25] <SpaceGhostC2C> x[x]: try doing gksudo gedit /path/to/file
[13:25] <Stargaze> ascheel, thank you :)
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> Stargaze:  but can nano even Open a 1+GB file, :)
[13:25] <SpaceGhostC2C> Stargaze: we could just say $EDITOR
[13:25] <Brandano> SpaceGhostC2C: the trouble with that is that if pppd is ever updated I will be back to square one
[13:25] <ascheel> SpaceGhostC2C: lol I can't imagine opening a 1.2 gig file in gedit.  The pain would be unbearable!  ;)
[13:26] <pbureau> Brandano: backup file set to root only >
[13:26] <pbureau> ?
[13:26] <koshari>  x[x] gedit should be able to read them without root permissions
[13:26] <SpaceGhostC2C> ascheel: hmm, wow. I'd try it in gloobus-preview.
[13:27] <pbureau> transfer the file to google-docs :)
[13:27] <SpaceGhostC2C> pbureau: not exactly FOSS compliant. But meh.
[13:27] <accipter> less?
[13:27] <Brandano> SpaceGhostC2C: I did add wvdial to the sudoers file for a dialup group. I tried to do the same for /usr/sbin/pppd... but doesn't appear to exist for non root users
[13:28] <pbureau> sorry SpaceGhostC2C I ment that for x
[13:28] <x[x]> hmm .. when i type gksudo gedit /var/log messages .. it opens up empty
[13:28] <ascheel> x[x] type this and paste the contents onto 'paste.ubuntu.com' and post it here so we can help you see what you're looking at:  tail -100 /var/log/messages
[13:28] <pbureau> x[x]: cat /var/log/message
[13:28] <SpaceGhostC2C> Brandano: you don't want them in sudoers!
[13:28] <pbureau> x[x]: cat /var/log/messages (dang my typoes)
[13:28] <Brandano> SpaceGhostC2C: why not?
[13:29] <Brandano> it would only be for a dialup group
[13:29] <ascheel> x[x] DO NOT USE 'cat' ON THAT FILE
[13:29] <pbureau> why nor ascheel ? its just going to list it
[13:29] <ascheel> pbureau, it's a 1.2 GIG file
[13:29] <Brandano> pbureau: better use tail
[13:29] <pbureau> so?
[13:29] <x[x]> it says no such file or directory
[13:29] <SpaceGhostC2C> Brandano: if someone could switch to that user, then they could do *anything* to your system.
[13:29] <ascheel> SO?
[13:29] <ascheel> 1.2 gigs of text.  not megs.  Gigs.
[13:30] <pbureau> he just wants to see whats in it... not format it for a science experiment to his computer tech report
[13:30] <ascheel> it will shove the entire file to stdout.  It will be displaying for HOURS
[13:30] <x[x]> dude
[13:30] <Brandano> SpaceGhostC2C: no, not in that way. If someone belongs o that group, hen it could run that file as root
[13:30] <x[x]> guys
[13:30] <pbureau> ascheel: seriously ?
[13:30] <x[x]> its currently opening via the normal way .. just really slow
[13:30] <x[x]> its likje 95% opened
[13:30] <SpaceGhostC2C> ascheel: pbureau why not just cat the stinking thing?
[13:30] <ascheel> pbureau: you don't realize how big 1.2 gigs is, my friend.  ;)
[13:30] <huntsville> good morning all, quick question.  Ubuntu Server 9.04, "apt-get upgrade" shows several packages being held back including kernel.  I'm assuming apt-get has a configuration file somewhere where its holding these files back.  Any idea where??
[13:31] <blackxored> Hi guys, help with debmirror, see here: http://pastebin.com/xH2qi7Sz this started happening after a power failure but it seems unrelated
[13:31] <x[x]> ok guys... the text crashed
[13:31] <SpaceGhostC2C> Brandano: pbureau if you add the user to sudoers or the group, unless you lock it to the specific binary, you're opening yourself up for a world of pain.
[13:31] <pbureau> ascheel: yes I do... been around computers since 1976, what is your point ? cat just scroll displays the file he can use CTL-C at any time to clear out of it
[13:31] <SpaceGhostC2C> x[x]: if you just used cat /path/to/file | less what shows up?
[13:32] <inveratulo> Hi all -- I'm having problems running Ubuntu under a RH5 xen host, keep getting these messages http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/TkMT3dXH
[13:32] <SpaceGhostC2C> pbureau: what's his computer specs? It'd be murder on an older system.

[13:32] <nerea> k tal
[13:32] <ascheel> it's not copying.  cat is going to go for HOURS
[13:32] <SpaceGhostC2C> x[x]: do this: cat /path/to/file | less
[13:32] <ascheel> *sigh*
[13:32] <SpaceGhostC2C> x[x]: with the pipe and the less
[13:32] <pbureau> SpaceGhostC2C: well this is 2010, one woudl hope he not using a 4004 chipset based pc still
[13:33] <ripthejacker> hi guys need help there is no version.h header file in include/linux/
[13:33] <SpaceGhostC2C> ascheel: it's as efficient as opening an editor.
[13:33] <ripthejacker> which is required by wmware
[13:33] <SpaceGhostC2C> pbureau: you assume too much my friend.
[13:33] <pbureau> SpaceGhostC2C: lol

[13:33] <kamanashisroy> hi, how do I copy protect my live disc ?
[13:33] <SpaceGhostC2C> monra: there are many. Would you like a link?
[13:33] <Stargaze> monra, type apt-cache search pdf
[13:34] <monra> SpaceGhostC2C: yup, sure thanks
[13:34] <BruceChang> IS it possible to install the portage under Karmic?
[13:34] <pbureau> x[x]: if your cat still scrolling using CTL-C should abort it
[13:34] <hydester> anybody know of a good image editing tool that would allow me to easily annotate an image/screenshot?  i was playing with Shutter, but my only problem is that i'd like to annotate it in layers so i can later come back and update the screenshot and "tweak" the annotations instead of redoing it each time
[13:34] <SpaceGhostC2C> monra: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=ubuntu+pdf+viewer&aq=f&aqi=g3&aql=&oq=

[13:34] <nerea> mira  soy  espanish
[13:34] <ripthejacker> can anyone help
[13:35] <pbureau> !es | nerea
[13:35] <SpaceGhostC2C> x[x]: cat /path/to/file | less
[13:35] <pbureau> ripthejacker: state the issue ...
[13:35] <x[x]> SpaceGhostC2C:  what will that do?
[13:35] <SpaceGhostC2C> !ask | BruceChang
[13:35] <nerea> por que no entiendo ni huevo
[13:35] <ATI> i am using ubuntu 9.10 32 bit on my brand new laptop and of course it had to have ati mobility card
[13:35] <SpaceGhostC2C> !es > nerea
[13:35] <sam_sam> i downloaded a linux iso image through  torrent (1.5gb)( in multiple sessions ). but by mistake in 1 session mounted partitions in wrong order so i see the file at two places both are incomplete . cannot merge them : 2GB ram ( memory exhausted ) any other way than redownload ?
[13:35] <ripthejacker> pbureau: there is no version.h file in /include/linux/
[13:35] <nerea> ok
[13:35] <pbureau> ATI: what video card model is it ?
[13:35] <ripthejacker> pbureau: its required by wnware
[13:35] <hydester> pbureau: i had issues with gimp drawing circles/boxes with text inside and having that move as an object instead of just moving the whole layer.  i'd end up with tons of layers.  at least it seems much more clunky than i'd hope for this task
[13:36] <nerea> goodbyle
[13:36] <ATI> radeon hd 5740
[13:36] <pbureau> hydester: sorry what I sue.
[13:36] <pbureau> use

[13:36] <pbureau> ATI: ubuntu with gnome ?
[13:36] <ATI> yes
[13:36] <ubuntu_> hello guys. pls help me out with this one: I formated my "Home" partition, but now I cannot boot again. Is there a way to restore my backup without reinstalling the OS?
[13:36] <x[x]> SpaceGhostC2C: what will that command do . i have the text file open .. it appears to be alot of copieDG and copieG and so on
[13:37] <pbureau> ATI: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[13:37] <hydester> pbureau: is there a plugin to make arrows, etc. without having to draw triagles or manually do it?
[13:37] <pbureau> ATI: check that out, solved my problem
[13:37] <ripthejacker> pbureau: please help
[13:37] <BruceChang> I wasn informed the portage can be insstalled in the Linux other than gentoo. I am wondering if there is any way to install that in Ubuntu 9.10
[13:37] <huntsville> Quick question re: Ubuntu Server 9.04, "apt-get upgrade" shows several packages being held back including kernel.  I'm assuming apt-get has a configuration file somewhere where its holding these files back.  Any idea where??
[13:37] <ATI> i have been trying since 10 pm last night to get catalyst 10-2 for linux to work
[13:38] <coz_> hunterburns,  out of curiosity did you do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[13:38] <monra> SpaceGhostC2C: Ok :P, let me rephrase my question, is there any other pdf viewer for ubuntu other than okular, evince(which I think is the same with kpdf?), xpdf, acrobat reader and GV(found it through your link)?
[13:38] <airtonix> ubuntu_, could you tell us about your "backup" , how it was done
[13:38] <theadmin> huntsville: somewhere in /etc/apt/preferences.d
[13:38] <pbureau> ATI, software manager - search ATI - install that
[13:38] <ATI> keeps saying no video driver is installed
[13:38] <ubuntu_> I copyed all my home partition to another partition
[13:38] <SpaceGhostC2C> monra: try bestbots it should have a long list.
[13:38] <SpaceGhostC2C> !best > monra
[13:38] <coz_> ATI,  which card do you have?
[13:38] <jiohdi> huntsville: did you try apt-get -f install
[13:38] <Svenska> Hi. After a recent update my gamepad is used to move the mouse pointer in X11. Because I want to play games with it, I want to disable this behavior without disabling the whole gamepad. Anyone here who can help?
[13:39] <pbureau> ripthejacker: search for getlibs and run it you /directory/wmware and it will find the missing libs for you
[13:39] <coz_> ATI,  I am assuming ati by your nick but which card specifically    lspci | grep -i vga
[13:39] <ATI> radeon hd 5740
[13:39] <airtonix> ubuntu_, ok so i think the first thing to do would be to work out the user id number that owns the files on your backup.
[13:39] <huntsville> theadmin, there is no preferences.d directory by default on 9.04 :)
[13:39] <ubuntu_> ok, what can i do?
[13:39] <coz_> ATI,  ok you may want to speak with soreau  about that particular card and which driver can be used with it
[13:39] <indus_> ATI, hi
[13:39] <theadmin> huntsville: Ah, sorry, i'm on Karmic
[13:40] <coz_> ATI,    For 7000 to HD4xxx series cards, you can use the open source "radeon" driver. HD2xxx and later series cards are also supported by the proprietary "fglrx" driver.
[13:40] <airtonix> ubuntu_, (theoretically this should be the user id number of the user you have for the installation you have running sans home folder.)
[13:40] <ripthejacker> pbureau: i am installing wmware
[13:40] <indus_> ATI, i dont think it will work with your card
[13:40] <x[x]> SpaceGhostC2C: what will that command do . i have the text file open .. it appears to be alot of copieDG and copieG and so on
[13:40] <Brandano> conn dropped
[13:40] <airtonix> ubuntu_, what is the status of the 'home' partition at this point ?
[13:40] <Svenska> Hi. After a recent update my gamepad is used to move the mouse pointer in X11. Because I want to play games with it, I want to disable this behavior without disabling the whole gamepad. Anyone here who can help?
[13:40] <huntsville> jiohdi, -f doesn't force them to be installed
[13:40] <SpaceGhostC2C> x[x]: do this : man cat
[13:40] <ripthejacker> indus_: rajeev?
[13:40] <ouyes> there is a tool name md5sum in ubuntu ,how can find the source code of it?
[13:40] <indus_> ripthejacker, yes
[13:40] <ubuntudualboot> every time I try to install GRUB bootloader (on the alt install CD) it says "UNABLE TO INSTALL GRUB IN (ha0,#). EXECUTING 'grub-install (ha0,#) FAILED.  Where # is the sda number of the boot partition.
[13:40] <SpaceGhostC2C> x[x]: prints the contents of the file to stdout
[13:40] <pbureau> Ati, on the docyument of ATI 10.2 on page 2 or 3 is your card listed ?
[13:40] <indus_> ripthejacker, you?
[13:40] <ubuntu_> I restored the copy of Home but still it says at begining that cannot mount home partition
[13:41] <ubuntudualboot> what did I do wrong?
[13:41] <ATI> no
[13:41] <airtonix> ubuntu_, how did you attempt to restore it ?
[13:41] <ripthejacker> indus_: arey im akhil
[13:41] <theadmin> ouyes: Look here for details (it's a part of GNU Coreutils) http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/
[13:41] <ripthejacker> indus_: uve added me in gmail chat
[13:41] <monra> SpaceGhostC2C: sorry but what is bestbots? I see ubottu's message, I don't want to take a poll on which is the best pdf viewer. I'm just found out that when printing with evince I can print in my duplex printer with bad quality, and with okular I can print good quality but NOT duplex. So I was searching for another pdf viewer to both print in duplex anf have good quality. Thank you anyway
[13:41] <indus_> ripthejacker, hmm dont remember
[13:41] <ubuntu_> i copied the files back to the "home" partition after formating it
[13:41] <indus_> ripthejacker, from where
[13:41] <ripthejacker> indus_: remember the mallu from mumbai
[13:41] <pbureau> Ati , Application - software center - search fopr ATI, install that driver
[13:41] <indus_> ripthejacker, aah yes
[13:41] <airtonix> ubuntu_, and you did this with a live cd i presume ?
[13:41] <ouyes> theadmin, thanks
[13:41] <ripthejacker> can u help me?
[13:41] <ubuntudualboot> every time I try to install GRUB bootloader (on the alt install CD) it says "UNABLE TO INSTALL GRUB IN (ha0,#). EXECUTING 'grub-install (ha0,#) FAILED.  Where # is the sda number of the boot partition. What did I do wrong anyone???
[13:42] <ubuntu_> yes
[13:42] <Svenska> Hi. After a recent update my gamepad is used to move the mouse pointer in X11. Because I want to play games with it, I want to disable this behavior without disabling the whole gamepad. Anyone here who can help?
[13:42] <ATI> i did and i get the resault
[13:42] <indus_> ATI, ok it works with your card
[13:42] <ripthejacker> well noone is responding
[13:42] <ATI> no video card in use
[13:42] <DJones> ubuntudualboot: Is that a copy & paste of the error message? If it is, it references ha0, I would expect that to be hd0
[13:42] <lqiang> verygood place
[13:42] <SpaceGhostC2C> monra: your question isn't to find more pdf readers. You need to ask for about printing with pdf readers.
[13:42] <pbureau> wait did you  instakll the DRIVER or ATI catalyst ?
[13:42] <ripthejacker> i cant find version.h header file required by vmware installation
[13:42] <Dolp> How do i switch my IP?
[13:43] <Dolp> it's dynamic
[13:43] <airtonix> ubuntu_, ok from my limited experience with this scenario i believe the issue is that the user id doesn not match. and that there are several inconsistancies with the current home partition... does fstab specify that /home is to be mounted on your 'home' partition ?
[13:43] <ripthejacker> i checked in the folder and the file is actually missing
[13:43] <ATI> ati catalyst
[13:43] <ubuntudualboot> DJones: I've tried that also.
[13:43] <SpaceGhostC2C> Dolp: depends on your ISP
[13:43] <Dolp> it's dyamic spaceghostc2c
[13:43] <theadmin> Dolp: If it's dynamic it should switch automatically
[13:43] <Svenska> Hi. After a recent update my gamepad is used to move the mouse pointer in X11. Because I want to play games with it, I want to disable this behavior without disabling the whole gamepad. Anyone here who can help?
[13:43] <pbureau> ATI: ati catalyst is only good for the 10.2 drivers , get teh ATI drivers shown on the serach and you will be set
[13:43] <theadmin> !patience | Svenska
[13:43] <Dolp> without reseting my modem theadmin
[13:43] <ubuntu_> I suppose yes, because it used to do so before foremating it.how do i check that?
[13:43] <llutz> ubuntudualboot: grub starts partition-counting at 0. so /dev/sda1 = (hd0,0)
[13:43] <theadmin> Dolp: Doubt that is possible
[13:43] <Svenska> theadmin: okay.
[13:43] <SpaceGhostC2C> Dolp: you can't really. You have to turn off the modem.
[13:44] <Dolp> you can with windows theadmin.
[13:44] <theadmin> Dolp: Oh, how? :D
[13:44] <SpaceGhostC2C> Dolp: no you can't. It's not software related.
[13:44] <Dolp> rly? ubuntu has no ipconfig iprelease?
[13:44] <ATI> ok i will try again thanks guys
[13:44] <monra> SpaceGhostC2C: Well that's true, but after searching for an hour the reason why okular isn't printing duplex I couldn't find anything. So I thought maybe I should check other pdf reader! :) Thank you for time, I guess I will have to keep looking for that answer
[13:44] <SpaceGhostC2C> Dolp: that's only internally.
[13:44] <llutz> Dolp: dhclient <your-net-interface>
[13:44] <SpaceGhostC2C> Dolp: won't change your external IP.
[13:44] <ubuntudualboot> llutz I've tried that also
[13:44] <ubuntudualboot> llutz how do you spell your nick?
[13:45] <llutz> ubuntudualboot: llutz
[13:45] <Dolp> ipconfig /renew <--windows has that, what do i use?
[13:45] <SpaceGhostC2C> monra: try asking about printing PDF's in ubuntu. That's the best question for your situation.
[13:45] <llutz> Dolp: dhclient <your-net-interface>
[13:45] <Dolp> k
[13:45] <Dolp> llutz whats a net interface?
[13:45] <SpaceGhostC2C> Dolp: that does not get you a new external IP.
[13:45] <k4rt33k> e/quit
[13:45] <airtonix> ubuntu_, 1) get a list of the partitions with : sudo fdisk -l and identify the partition that you recently formatted.note down the address which would like "/dev/something" 2) check the /etc/fstab file... you can do this with gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and look at the line which talks about mounting /home...does it point to the same address you found in step one ?
[13:45] <llutz> Dolp:ethX, wlanX, athX
[13:45] <ubuntudualboot> llutz obviously I cant read that so could you capitalise or lower case as needed so I can read it
[13:46] <ubuntudualboot> every time I try to install GRUB bootloader (on the alt install CD) it says "UNABLE TO INSTALL GRUB IN (ha0,#). EXECUTING 'grub-install (ha0,#) FAILED.  Where # is the sda number of the boot partition. What did I do wrong anyone???
[13:46] <llutz> ubuntudualboot: LL
[13:46] <monra> SpaceGhostC2C: ok thanks :)
[13:46] <llutz> !pm >dolp
[13:46] <Dolp> how do i tell what my net interface is?
[13:46] <ubuntudualboot> llutz your nick doesnt auto complete
[13:46] <llutz> ubuntudualboot: hint: use a more readable font
[13:47] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubuntudualboot: LLUTZ in lowercase.
[13:47] <theadmin> Dolp: ethX is ethernet, wlanX is wireless and pppX is modem
[13:47] <ubuntudualboot> llutz im using a live cd
[13:47] <Dolp> riite

[13:48] <rodolfo_> pbureau, hahah
[13:48] <llutz> ubuntudualboot: use /dev/sdXY notation
[13:48] <Brandano> SpaceGhostC2C: if you can bear with me for a second, this is what I am attempting to do with sudoers: %dialout localhost = /usr/bin/wvdial, /usr/sbin/pppd
[13:48] <Brandano> works for wvdial, not for pppd
[13:48] <ubuntudualboot> llutz I've tried that too.
[13:48] <airtonix> ubuntu_, also when typing messages here could you prefix it with the nick of the person you are talking to so that their client takes care of notifications...makes it easier to track conversations in a large room.
[13:48] <llutz> ubuntudualboot: "... (ha#). Where # is the sda number of the boot partition." <- that's nonsense
[13:49] <SpaceGhostC2C> Brandano: I don't use pppd. I just wouldn't do it how you are. Unsafe.
[13:49] <ubuntudualboot> llutz why are you making suggestions if you couldnt understand my question?
[13:49] <llutz> ubuntudualboot: there is no "(ha)" in grub, it's (hdx,y) and grub counts different from /dev/sdXY
[13:49] <SpaceGhostC2C> !patience > ubuntudualboot
[13:49] <ubuntudualboot> llutz why are you making suggestions if you couldnt understand my question?
[13:50] <rodolfo_> Hey people, I installed Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit yesterday, and since then I am trying to set 1280x800 resolution. (At the moment, the maximum is 800x600). There's no xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ and I don't know how to create one. Can someone help me?
[13:50] <ubuntu_> airtonix: i think it's ok
[13:50] <pbureau> rodolfo_: what video card ?
[13:50] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubuntudualboot: We're all volunteers here. Treat llutz with more kindness, he's trying to help you.
[13:50] <rodolfo_> pbureau, it's onboard
[13:50] <ubuntu_> airtonix: the fstab says sdb5 is home and i think thats true,,,
[13:50] <Brandano> SpaceGhostC2C: I don't see how you'd go about escalating privileges. I mean more than what you are allowed already if you are a member of the group
[13:50] <llutz> SpaceGhostC2C: s/he's trying/was trying/
[13:51] <airtonix> ubuntu_, so fstab has /home setup to mount on your desired partition ?
[13:51] <ubuntu_> yes
[13:51] <airtonix> ubuntu_, so far so good.
[13:51] <ubuntudualboot> yes but he's wasting his time and mine by giving me instructions on a question he says he doesn't understand
[13:51] <SpaceGhostC2C> Brandano: it's not that you're doin it wrong.
[13:51] <airtonix> ubuntu_, so next step is the check the user id numbers
[13:51] <ubuntu_> airtonix: there was no reason for it to change...
[13:51] <rodolfo_> pbureau, any idea?
[13:51] <airtonix> ubuntu_, of course... but we all need to be 'on the same page' just so there is no misunderstandings
[13:51] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubuntudualboot: then possibly clarify. Drop the issue now, llutz has no interest in helping you. Ask the question again in a little while, or rephrase it to be clearer.
[13:52] <ubuntudualboot> every time I try to install GRUB bootloader (on the alt install CD) it says "UNABLE TO INSTALL GRUB IN (ha0,#). EXECUTING 'grub-install (ha0,#) FAILED.  Where # is the sda number of the boot partition. What did I do wrong anyone??? I've tried several notations and none of them work.
[13:52] <ubuntu_> airtonix: ok what i do next?
[13:52] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubuntudualboot: ha0?
[13:52] <airtonix> ubuntu_, i assume you are currently using the live cd ?
[13:52] <lack> I'm trying to upgrade mysql (Jaunty) and running into an error.  Any ideas where i should look to find out what's going on?
[13:52] <ubuntu_> airtonix: yes
[13:52] <ubuntudualboot> if you want me to clarify, please make that clear and ask
[13:52] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubuntudualboot: specifically ha0?
[13:52] <ubuntudualboot> yesw
[13:53] <theadmin> ubuntudualboot: grub doesn't use (ha0,#), grub uses "hd(0,1)" scheme
[13:53] <nerea> hello
[13:53] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubuntudualboot: you're doin' it wrong. try hda1
[13:53] <ubuntudualboot> theadmin: i've tried that notation as well
[13:53] <nerea> what you name?
[13:53] <SpaceGhostC2C> !ot | nerea
[13:53] <pbureau> rodolfo_: hang on a sec.
[13:53] <airtonix> ubuntu_, and that you formatted your desired home partition from the live cd... which means that the home partition is owned by the live cd user and has the live cd users id number... not the id number that your 'real' user had.
[13:53] <rodolfo_> ok
[13:53] <theadmin> ubuntudualboot: Have you tried "grub-install /dev/sda1"? Or similar
[13:53] <ubuntu_> yes this is what i did
[13:53] <theadmin> ubuntudualboot: Err, i meant to say "/dev/sda"
[13:54] <orson> ubuntudualboot: what partition in /dev/sdXY notation you want to install grub ?
[13:54] <theadmin> orson: Isn't GRUB supposed to be installed on top of the drive, in the bootsector?
[13:54] <SpaceGhostC2C> theadmin: doesn't hafta be.
[13:54] <orson> theadmin: you can install it wherever you want
[13:54] <ubuntu_> airtonix: yes
[13:54] <SpaceGhostC2C> theadmin: but he has a hd not sd going for him.
[13:54] <orson> theadmin: mbr, pbr
[13:55] <airtonix> ubuntu_, ok so you've already restored the backups ?
[13:55] <ubuntudualboot> theadmin: i've tried that
[13:55] <theadmin> orson: pbr?
[13:55] <tzanger> good morning
[13:55] <orson> theadmin: partition boot record
[13:55] <ubuntu_> airtonix: as i said before yes
[13:55] <ubuntudualboot> actually im using sd
[13:55] <SpaceGhostC2C> theadmin: partition boot recod
[13:55] <tzanger> is there any way to get nfsd to allow me to re-export an nfs-mounted directory?
[13:55] <theadmin> orson: Oh.
[13:55] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubuntudualboot: is it a sata drive?
[13:55] <tzanger> i.e. I have /mnt/some_nfs_servers_dir
[13:55] <ubuntudualboot> SpaceGhostC2C: im assuming, yes
[13:55] <airtonix> ubuntu_, because the first thing you'll need to do is change the owner of the /home directory to the root user of your real system... but to do that you need chown it by userid not username...
[13:55] <tzanger> and I'd like to have this box export /mnt/some_nfs_dir
[13:55] <orson> SpaceGhostC2C: even if your system names /dev/hda or /dev/sda, grub always uses (hdX,Y)
[13:55] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubuntudualboot: is this a laptop?
[13:56] <ubuntudualboot> SpaceGhostC2C: yes
[13:56] <orson> ubuntudualboot: what partition in /dev/sdXY notation you want to install grub ?
[13:56] <SpaceGhostC2C> orson: you can install using udev device nodes.
[13:56] <ubuntu_> airtonix: ok, how i am supposed to do that/
[13:56] <ubuntudualboot> orson: yup. tried that
[13:56] <airtonix> ubuntu_, and when i say /home i don't mena your home folder (/home/blah) i mean the /home... (which means this is easier if you just clean the partition again.
[13:56] <nerea> mira hablas español o que
[13:56] <orson> SpaceGhostC2C: that's why i asekd him
[13:56] <DJones> !es | nerea
[13:57] <orson> ubuntudualboot: would you please answer: what partition in /dev/sdXY notation you want to install grub to?
[13:57] <ubuntu_> airtonix: so i need to reformat it?
[13:57] <ubuntudualboot> /dev/sda5/
[13:57] <ubuntudualboot> /dev/sda5
[13:57] <airtonix> ubuntu_, or just wipe it...which ever you find easier...make sure you still have that backup
[13:57] <stetho> Hi. Can anyone suggest why I can't get Perl on an Ubuntu server to connect to the local MySQL database - Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' where it works for PHP and from the command line. I've set apparmor to complain.
[13:57] <nerea> ola
[13:57] <orson> ubuntudualboot: have you tried exacatly that notation?
[13:57] <ubuntudualboot> yes
[13:57] <erUSUL> nerea: hi
[13:58] <ubuntu_> ok, I will erase everything on the /home partition, correct?
[13:58] <ubuntu_> airtonix: ok, I will erase everything on the /home partition, correct?
[13:58] <coz_> stetho,  if no one can answer that here you might want to try  ##linux  channel...they tend to have a broader overview if issues
[13:58] <airtonix> ubuntu_, yep
[13:58] <theadmin> ubuntudualboot: Did you use "/dev/sda5/" or "/dev/sda5"? The last one is correct, first one points at sda5 as a folder
[13:58] <ubuntudualboot> i used the last one
[13:58] <orson> ubuntudualboot: pastebin "sudo fdisk -l" please
[13:58] <SpaceGhostC2C> nerea: can you speak English? If not, try going to #ubuntu-es
[13:58] <theadmin> ubuntudualboot: Hm, weird
[13:58] <orson> !paste > ubuntudualboot
[13:58] <pbureau> rodolfo_: okay so its onboard then try thsi in a terminal window "lspci -v" look for VGA and copy paste ONLY that line (for example mine shows -> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56P [Radeon Mobility X1600]
[13:58] <MixLaToR> guys...the .conkyrc file is still the configuration file for conky under karmic too ?
[13:59] <stetho> coz_ thanks but I asked here first as it looks like an Ubuntu issue. Works fine on Fedora.
[13:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> MixLaToR: yes.
[13:59] <ubuntu_> airtonix: ok and now?
[13:59] <ubuntudualboot> orson: i can't paste. im installing this on another system
[13:59] <ubuntu_> airtonix: now the /home partition is clean
[13:59] <airtonix> ubuntu_, create a folder called 'home'
[13:59] <ubuntu_> air where?
[13:59] <ubuntu_> airtonix: where?
[13:59] <airtonix> ubuntu_, on the home partition i think
[13:59] <MixLaToR> SpaceGhostC2C, thanks
[13:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> MixLaToR: no worries.
[13:59] <ubuntudualboot> could this be due to a corrupt install CD?
[13:59] <ubuntu_> airtonix: did it
[14:00] <airtonix> ubuntu_, ok one sec i'll check some syntax
[14:00] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubuntu_: not likely, feel free to try again. Why can't you use the livecd for installation?
[14:00] <coz_> stetho,  mm interesting  but I would still go to ##linux at some point if it cant be resolved here :)
[14:00] <abhi_nav> hello
[14:01] <ubuntu_> SpaceGhostC2C: don't want to reinstall everything again...i had just finished re-seting up everything
[14:01] <rodolfo_> pbureau, 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 771/671 PCIE VGA Display Adapter (rev 10)
[14:01] <pbureau> SpaceGhostC2C: you where rigth about assuming things.... lol
[14:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> pbureau: was he on ancient hardware?
[14:02] <airtonix> ubuntu_, your real root users id number should be 0 in pretty much all cases...
[14:02] <kmahl> yo people, i got one assignment and i don't know exacty how to solve it, i searched on google, but its to dificult for me
[14:02] <pbureau> SpaceGhostC2C: look at rodolfo_ video card
[14:02] <pbureau> sis 717
[14:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> pbureau: oh snap.
[14:02] <n16h7f0x> anybody can suggest me a tutorial to install ubuntu encrypted but don't want to use  entire hard disk...tryied it manualy but didn't manage to set up the partitions...please advice
[14:02] <airtonix> ubuntu_, i assume you have your home backup on an external hardrive ?
[14:02] <jalons> is there a way to combine clipboards, so if I copy text in, say, xterm I can paste it with the same keyboard shortcuts into firefox/chrome/whatever?
[14:02] <ubuntu_> airtonix: no on another partition of internal hd
[14:02] <kmahl> i need to Write a script. The script should display the path to your homedirectory and the terminal type that you are using. Additionally it shows all the services started up in runlevel 3 on your system. (hint: use HOME, TERM and ls /etc/rc3.d/S*)
[14:03] <jalons> i.e., if i highlight a line in xterm, I need to middle click to paste, I can't shift-insert into firefox's browser
[14:03] <pbureau> rodolfo_: I am going to ask instead of assuming, you have updated (update manager shwos no updates to be done) right >?
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> jalons:  theres clipboard manager tools that 'sync' the clipboard with the 'selection buffer'
[14:03] <ubuntu_> airtonix: i created the "home" folder in /home as root.is this ok?
[14:03] <erUSUL> jalons: paste with middle click is supported in all apps
[14:03] <jalons> erUSUL: Yes, but I rarely touch the mosue
[14:03] <kmahl> i started on the script but i dont know how to show what terminal type i am using
[14:03] <rodolfo_> pbureau, yes, I did ~200mb download of system updates yesterday
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> jalons:  check out gclipper I think.. is the name
[14:03] <jalons> Dr_Willis: Thanks! I'll google based on selection buffer and clipboard syncing
[14:03] <orson> kmahl: if your teacher wanted US to do your homework, he'd asked us directly :)
[14:03] <erUSUL> jalons: See Dr_Willis response then :)
[14:03] <airtonix> ubuntu_, yep i think this is the goal...
[14:04] <jalons> erUSUL: Thank you for your assistance as well :)
[14:04] <ubuntu_> airtonix: ok what i do next?
[14:04] <theadmin> kmahl: So what's the problem? "echo $HOME && echo $TERM && ls /etc/rc3.d/S*", as you said yourself
[14:04] <rodolfo_> pbureau, I've read on forums that I should add the 1280x800 option on /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, but that file doesn't exist! So they say I should create one, but I dont know how (I dont have permission)
[14:04] <lack> Aha, I think apparmor is kicking mysql around.
[14:04] <SpaceGhostC2C> rodolfo_: is this your machine?>
[14:04] <airtonix> ubuntu_, we need to get the uid of your real user as you would be normally without the livecd... if you use this command you should be able to get it : ls -n /path/to/your/home/backup
[14:05] <n16h7f0x> anybody can suggest me a tutorial to install ubuntu encrypted but don't want to use  entire hard disk...tryied it manualy but didn't manage to set up the partitions...please advice
[14:05] <rodolfo_> SpaceGhostC2C, yes, I installed Ubuntu
[14:05] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubuntu_: my message earlier was supposed to go to ubuntudualboot.
[14:05] <erUSUL> rodolfo_: sudo Xorg -configure
[14:05] <usernet> after update kernel, virtualbox broken,??
[14:05] <airtonix> ubuntu_, the uid will be the 3rd coloumn the 4th coloumn should be the gid of that user
[14:05] <SpaceGhostC2C> rodolfo_: you can use sudo
[14:05] <Oekel1> hi
[14:05] <SpaceGhostC2C> erUSUL: isn't the best way to do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server ?
[14:05] <abhi_nav> hi
[14:05] <SpaceGhostC2C> !hi
[14:05] <theadmin> usernet: Run "/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup", and install "dkms" in order to avoid this in future
[14:05] <rodolfo_> SpaceGhostC2C, yeah, but I dont know the command to create/edit a file on terminal
[14:05] <rodolfo_> *console
[14:06] <llutz> rodolfo_: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:06] <erUSUL> SpaceGhostC2C: that gives a practiacally empty xorg.conf this days afaik
[14:06] <SpaceGhostC2C> rodolfo_: if you need to make a file you can just use your editor. I prefer vim, but there are many.
[14:06] <abhi_nav> SpaceGhostC2C: hi
[14:06] <erUSUL> SpaceGhostC2C: but yous you can do 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'
[14:06] <SpaceGhostC2C> erUSUL: what does that do? the -phigh.
[14:07] <pbureau> rodolfo_:  stand by it is a known bug in ubuntu
[14:07] <theadmin> rodolfo_: You can edit files with vi or nano, to just create an empty file, use touch
[14:07] <pbureau> rodolfo_: searching for resolution
[14:07] <kmahl> where do i find the directory for my terminal?
[14:07] <erUSUL> SpaceGhostC2C: autodetect most things. (it will not ask anything)
[14:07] <nibbler__> kmahl: pwd ?
[14:07] <Oekel1> is there someone who can help me with  $HOME/.asoundrc
[14:07] <Oekel1> I can't see my "virtual" device in jack
[14:07] <l3ns> hi everyone
[14:07] <l3ns> how can I enable twinview on this machine, hardy heron
[14:07] <l3ns> ?
[14:07] <theadmin> kmahl: Hm, let me see, i think "which $TERM" would give it to you
[14:07] <AndyGraybeal> what file should i edit to change my regular users umask to 0002 in /etc/X11/Xsession.d ?  or should i make my own file?
[14:07] <erUSUL> l3ns: nvidia-settings ?
[14:08] <ikonia> l3ns: you have to use the nvidia restricted drivers
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  i always install nvidia drivers and use the nvidia-settings tool
[14:08] <ikonia> !twinview > l3ns
[14:08] <phrearch> hm, what repo package do i need to install to get all the mono libraries?
[14:08] <SpaceGhostC2C> rodolfo_: or you can do something advanced and use cat > /etc/X11/xorg.conf <<EOF and then type or paste in your settings, then on a new line type EOF in all caps.
[14:08] <erUSUL> AndyGraybeal: ~/.profile
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> !hardy
[14:08] <AndyGraybeal> erUSUL: i thought the ~/.profile wasn't read by gnome?
[14:08] <AndyGraybeal> er.. gdm
[14:08] <AndyGraybeal> or something
[14:08] <theadmin> AndyGraybeal: It's read on log in to GNOME, so it is
[14:08] <AndyGraybeal> erUSUL: iv'e been reading that i should set it in Xsessions.d .. i have ubuntu 8.10
[14:08] <erUSUL> AndyGraybeal: not really sure... work from cli most of the time ;)
[14:08] <ubuntudualboot> SpaceGhostC2C: i can't use the live CD because im installing a fully encrypted dualboot system
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> AndyGraybeal:  that would do it for all users perhaps. that may or may not be what you want
[14:09] <rodolfo_> ok, i created the xorg.conf file. I should restart the system now
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> rodolfo_:  or just restart X
[14:09] <kmahl> i mean is there an executable file this terminal, like in windows?
[14:09] <xrfang> how to "print" or merge a bunch of png image files into a single pdf file? any free software in the ubuntu repo? thanks
[14:09] <l3ns> erUSUL: where can I see the nvidia-settings tool?
[14:09] <rodolfo_> really? how?
[14:09] <ubuntudualboot> SpaceGhostC2C: do you have any other suggestions?
[14:09] <today> i have problem with " shift" keyboard when i upgrade gnome 2.28
[14:09] <today> can you help me
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> rodolfo_:  sudo service gdm restart   (is one way)
[14:09] <Davedan> is it possible to install a ppa package that is built for Lucid on Karmic? https://launchpad.net/~jdub/+archive/devel
[14:09] <today> ^^
[14:09] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubuntudualboot: reinstall with the livecd.
[14:09] <erUSUL> l3ns: if it is installed is in System>Preferences>Nvidia-settings
[14:10] <ubuntudualboot> SpaceGhostC2C: i can't use the live CD because im installing a fully encrypted dualboot system
[14:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubuntudualboot: unless you can't.
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> Davedan:  that can break things badly if it even works
[14:10] <erUSUL> l3ns: but to make permanent changes run it as root « gksudo nvidia-settings »
[14:10] <theadmin> Hm. "echo $(lsb-release --short --codename)" should return "karmic" on a karmic box, right?
[14:10] <Davedan> Dr_Willis thanks
[14:10] <ubuntu_> airtonix: http://pastebin.com/PYcs4msd
[14:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubuntudualboot: you think there's security there? Hmm. Well, then... No, I have no answer for you.
[14:10] <l3ns> erUSUL: i'm using now the laptop which is 14", and I attached it to a 21" lcd..
[14:10] <Brandano> SpaceGhostC2C: apparently my trouble is caused by the fact that the standard user is not a member of the "dip" group.  Indeed, no user is, and there's already a couple of bug reports about it in launchpad
[14:10] <erUSUL> theadmin: is lsb_release
[14:10] <theadmin> erUSUL: oopsie
[14:11] <today> can you help me, i dont use shift keyboard when i upgrade Gnome sell 2.29 :(?
[14:11] <kmahl> is the terminal in ubuntu a file that i can execute like in windows?
[14:11] <theadmin> kmahl: Kinda
[14:11] <kmahl> where do i find this file?
[14:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> today: your question doesn't make any sense.
[14:11] <theadmin> kmahl: It is /usr/bin/gnome-terminal normally
[14:11] <erUSUL> kmahl: gnome-terminal ? there are a lot of terminal emulators and a few shells to choose from
[14:11] <kmahl> thanx
[14:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> !gksudo > kmahl
[14:11] <Brandano> so I can just give the "dialup" group permission to execute wvdial (and wvdial only!) and should be set
[14:12] <erUSUL> kmahl: ubuntu uses gnome-terminal + bash
[14:12] <today> SpaceGhostC2C: i dont understan what you say
[14:12] <airtonix> ubuntu_, hmm and you made that backup via a command such as : cp /home /media/MyFiles ?
[14:12] <SpaceGhostC2C> Brandano: that way, no root permissions are needed.
[14:12] <ubuntu_> no through dolphin
[14:12] <kmahl> kan i write gnome-terminal --version to find out what version i have of the terminal?
[14:12] <today> i relly want to how we can fix my error
[14:12] <SpaceGhostC2C> today: your question. It does not make sense.
[14:12] <ubuntu_> airtonix: no through dolphin
[14:12] <airtonix> ubuntu_, ah so you dragged the /home folder into your backup drive ?
[14:12] <SpaceGhostC2C> erUSUL: by default :)
[14:12] <ubuntu_> yes
[14:12] <ubuntudualboot> SpaceGhostC2C: were you going to explain to me why that's not secure or is it off topic if *I* ask about it?
[14:13] <theadmin> okay, so "echo $(lsb_release --short --codename) main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/somerepo" looks fine, right?
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> kmahl:  try it and see
[14:13] <erUSUL> SpaceGhostC2C: right
[14:13] <rik840> Entrez le texte ici...hola
[14:13] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubuntudualboot: Not here. It's got some fallacies that make the whole thing pointless to encrypt / I encrypt /home sometimes, but not for my main machine, which is secure.
[14:13] <Empoyona> ola
[14:14] <erUSUL> theadmin: no it lacks the rest of the repo line deb http://whatevermirror.somehost.com/blah
[14:14] <Empoyona> ola?
[14:14] <today> uhm, when i upgrade Gnome shell 2.29, i dont use "shift keyboard"
[14:14] <rik840> como estas
[14:14] <SpaceGhostC2C> Empoyona Hell
[14:14] <erUSUL> Empoyona: hi; wellcome to ubuntu support channel
[14:14] <Empoyona> hello
[14:14] <theadmin> erUSUL: Yeah, forgot that %)
[14:14] <ubuntudualboot> SpaceGhostC2C: could you please clarify "not here"?
[14:14] <MixLaToR> guys ... how to install mysql under ubuntu please ?
[14:14] <ubuntu_> airtonix: how can i fix it?
[14:14] <erUSUL> MixLaToR: sudo aptitude install mysql-server
[14:14] <erUSUL> !lamp > MixLaToR
[14:14] <MixLaToR> erUSUL, thanks.
[14:14] <theadmin> MixLaToR: may i suggest to install LAMP altogether? Would be a better idea
[14:14] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubuntudualboot: no. You want a encrypted system, that's your call. I can't help you with it. Sorry.
[14:15] <MixLaToR> theadmin, i want just mysql
[14:15] <airtonix> ubuntu_, i dont think we need the home folder we created on your home partition... im thinking just copy that nikolas folder on there. (which is probably what you did in the first place )
[14:15] <SpaceGhostC2C> MixLaToR: just mysql? No apache or php?
[14:15] <theadmin> MixLaToR: Well, okay, then do what erUSUL said
[14:15] <usernet> theadmin: Makefile:147: *** Error: unable to find the sources of your current Linux kernel
[14:15] <usernet> . Specify KERN_DIR=<directory> and run Make again.  Stop
[14:15] <sluxor> how do I stop a user from logging into KDE?
[14:15] <today> SpaceGhostC2C: can you help me
[14:15] <SpaceGhostC2C> today: no. Sorry.
[14:15] <ubuntu_> airtonix: yes i did and it didn't work. is there a way i can fix it please?
[14:16] <ubuntudualboot> SpaceGhostC2C: I apologise but, I'm very confused as to what you're trying to tell me.
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> sluxor:  what do you want them to log into?
[14:16] <airtonix> ubuntu_, but you'd still need to make sure that the uid of the folders you copy have the uid of the nikolas user on the system
[14:16] <today> you wellcome
[14:16] <MixLaToR> SpaceGhostC2C, theadmin i installed them one by one
[14:16] <sluxor> Well I just want them to not be able to log in via KDM
[14:16] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubuntudualboot: I am saying that encryption is silly, that's all.
[14:16] <theadmin> sluxor: Try "sudo usermod -L username" to lock the account
[14:16] <sluxor> but to be able to log in via say SSH
[14:16] <ubuntu_> airtonix: can you please guide me through that?
[14:16] <lack> Does upgrading mysql change the apparmor.d profile as part of the 'configure' step?
[14:16] <ubuntudualboot> SpaceGhostC2C: ok
[14:16] <SpaceGhostC2C> MixLaToR: are you wanting to make a lamp stack?
[14:16] <sluxor> yep thanx but I need to allow them to login in other ways
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> sluxor:  you dont want them to be able to sit down and login to the machine locally?
[14:16] <sluxor> no
[14:17] <sluxor> remotely only
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> Lock the door. :)
[14:17] <sluxor> via ssh and ftp
[14:17] <sluxor> lol
[14:17] <theadmin> sluxor: If you want to disable KDE login only, i think you can do so via KDE's control tools... kuser, to be specifically
[14:17] <MixLaToR> SpaceGhostC2C, no idea ..
[14:17] <SpaceGhostC2C> sluxor: Physically lock things down.
[14:17] <pbureau> Dr_Willis: or remove teh keyboard
[14:17] <SpaceGhostC2C> MixLaToR: what is it for?
[14:17] <AndyGraybeal> Dr_Willis: okay, thank you
[14:17] <airtonix> erUSUL, i've forgotten how to determine the UID of a user on a system when looking at said system from a livecd... a home folder needs to be restored from a simple cp type backup which didn't preserve user id and permissions...
[14:17] <erUSUL> lack: compiling from source ?
[14:17] <SpaceGhostC2C> MixLaToR: a website?
[14:17] <l3ns> how do I restart the X server?
[14:17] <Guest25509> ok I got an easy one for you all
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> pbureau:  yep. i was going to say that also.. :) I cant imagine why its that big a deal.
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  sudo service gdm restart (is one way)
[14:17] <sluxor> SpaceGhostC2C, I'd love to but my landlord wouldnt appreciate locks on the bedroom door.
[14:17] <erUSUL> airtonix: look into the /etc/passwd file ?
[14:17] <sluxor> lol
[14:17] <SpaceGhostC2C> !ask Guest25509
[14:18] <Guest25509> where the hell does Ubuntu store the Places Menu?
[14:18] <airtonix> erUSUL, cheers
[14:18] <Guest25509> I want to back it up
[14:18] <MixLaToR> SpaceGhostC2C, just testing some views..
[14:18] <erUSUL> airtonix: no problem
[14:18] <Guest25509> from command line
[14:18] <SpaceGhostC2C> sluxor: you need a new landlord.
[14:18] <pbureau> sluxor: trying to prevent roomates to use the box then ?
[14:18] <rodolfo_> Hello, I'm back. I created a xorg.conf with this content http://www.pastebin.org/107404 and now I can have 1024x768 resolution. But I still want 1280x800, anyone got any idea?
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> Guest25509:  you mean the extra added bookmarks? or the actual default values? what are you wanting to do with it exactly?
[14:18] <rodolfo_> I created it on /etc/x11/
[14:18] <theadmin> Guest25509: It's dynamic. It is generated from all devices connected, your nautilus bookmarks, and all the FTP and shares you're connected to.
[14:18] <SpaceGhostC2C> MixLaToR: what is the purpose? Are you just playing with databases?
[14:19] <pbureau> rodolfo_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/301958 its a known bug, "tpurch' is working on it
[14:19] <airtonix> ubuntu_, try this to find the uid of your user on the system : cat /etc/passwd | grep nikolas
[14:19] <Guest25509> am I showing up as Guest25509?
[14:19] <theadmin> Guest25509: Yes
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> Guest25509:  yes :)
[14:19] <Guest25509> ok
[14:19] <SpaceGhostC2C> Guest25509: try asking without being offensive.
[14:19] <airtonix> ubuntu_, assuming you have the root partition mounted
[14:19] <sluxor> I want to give them access via FTP/SSH but not directly
[14:19] <sluxor> :P
[14:19] <ines> ola
[14:19] <sluxor> its so they wouldnt waste time on facebook when we're supposed to head out to the clubs
[14:19] <ines> jaja
[14:19] <SpaceGhostC2C> sluxor: door locks are the only way to make sure they don't use your machine.
[14:19] <Guest25509> but if I add locations to my places menu won't that be stored somewhere?
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> sluxor:  yea.. good reason....
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> sluxor:  why not just block facebook.
[14:19] <erUSUL> rodolfo_: in line 39 instead of "vesa" put "sis"
[14:19] <BluesKaj> 'Morning
[14:20] <theadmin> Guest25509: How? Bookmarking is the only way known to me
[14:20] <MixLaToR> SpaceGhostC2C, something like that :D ...i wont store all the stuffs here in my laptop...coz the great part is in the deskop PC with windows...some i'm wondering how it's under linux...
[14:20] <pbureau> sluxor: so lock pc with password... (ie log in with your id and lock screen saver requires password)
[14:20] <sluxor> because they'l find another social networking site to do it on
[14:20] <sluxor> lol
[14:20] <Guest25509> Yes, bookmarking
[14:20] <Brandano> SpaceGhostC2C: encasing in concrete works too
[14:20] <Guest25509> where are they stored?
[14:20] <kmahl> if i have to change the permission on my script so that i can run it, what do you think that means?
[14:20] <theadmin> Guest25509: Hm, nautilus... let me dig into it
[14:20] <airtonix> ubuntu_, if you don't have the root partition of your real system mounted then that command wont return anything... i suggest mounting it on /media/oldroot then running : cat /media/oldroot/etc/passwd | grep nikolas
[14:20] <SpaceGhostC2C> sluxor: if they can get to your computer, they can just use ssh to connect and view facebook through your machine. If you don't want them on the machine, lock the door. Don't give them physical access.
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> Guest25509:  the actual bookmarks - theres a bookmark manager, or you can use the sidebar in the fule manager to add/delet them
[14:20] <SpaceGhostC2C> Brandano: that's only for systems you don't want to deal with again.
[14:21] <Guest25509> I am aware but I want to find the folder they are stored in
[14:21] <MixLaToR> one last question...how to make my windows 7 boot first ?
[14:21] <Guest25509> I want to make a copy
[14:21] <Brandano> SpaceGhostC2C: Or for thos systems that didn't get the hint until it was to late. :)
[14:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> MixLaToR: if you want only mysql, as in nothing but mysql sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> Guest25509:  they are not in a folder. they are gconf file settings i belive
[14:21] <MixLaToR> SpaceGhostC2C, i get it man..cheers
[14:22] <user2010> I have a supermicro server with dual xeon 5405 2 ghz. I have vt turned on in the bios yet Ubuntu says VT is not supported. any one has seens this before?>
[14:22] <airtonix> ubuntu_, you should get a line like : USERNAME:x:1000:1000:YOURNAME,,,:/home/USERNAME:/bin/bash (all captials words replaced with your username)
[14:22] <theadmin> Guest25509: Aha, found it. $HOME/.gtk-bookmarks
[14:22] <MixLaToR> one last question...how do i make win 7 as the default system to boot from ?
[14:22] <ubuntu_> airtonix: http://pastebin.com/X5iskCJx
[14:22] <rodolfo_> pbureau, thanks for the link! erUSUL, ok did it, Im going to restart now.
[14:22] <theadmin> Guest25509: Be aware that it's not a folder, but a file
[14:22] <kmahl> and why do i have to write chmod u+x filename.sh to be able to test it in the terminal ?
[14:22] <erUSUL> kmahl: normal behavior. you have to explicity give execute perms in unix (not like in windows that anything ending in .exe can be executed)
[14:22] <erUSUL> rodolfo_: you only need to restart X
[14:22] <Guest25509> thanks theadmin
[14:22] <Guest25509> let me look
[14:22] <ubuntu_> airtonix: now what?
[14:23] <SpaceGhostC2C> MixLaToR: if you're using grub 2, IDK https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[14:23] <sluxor> is there any way to disable users that exist on the system and arent locked from logging into the machine via KDM?
[14:23] <sluxor> thats all i really want
[14:23] <kittenjaugar> MixLaToR:  install Win7 at last...may works???
[14:23] <airtonix> ubuntu_, ok so in your home partition is there only your users folder? or is there the lost+found folder too ?
[14:23] <sluxor> my friends arent smart enough to use SSH forwarding
[14:23] <sluxor> lol
[14:23] <pbureau> KDM --help maybe sluxor ?
[14:23] <MixLaToR> kittenjaugar, hmmm ?
[14:23] <SpaceGhostC2C> yes. But there is many ways for your friends to use the machine anyways.
[14:23] <SpaceGhostC2C> sluxor: restart and boot into safe mode. They can use it.
[14:23] <rodolfo_> erUSUL, I am doing this: "sudo service gdm restart" isnt it right?
[14:24] <ubuntu_> airtonix: the lost + found too
[14:24] <airtonix> ubuntu_, try removing that as root maybe
[14:24] <SpaceGhostC2C> rodolfo_: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> sluxor:  just ssh in and forece the machine to reboot if you want them off it.
[14:24] <Brandano> kmahl: incidentally, windows will attempt to execute everything with an .exe, .com, .bat, .cmd, .pif (and possibly .vb and .js) extension. Including "picture.jpg                                                                                .exe"
[14:24] <kittenjaugar> MixLaToR: Install win7 at last will override mbr, but as a ubuntu user, I don't suggest that..
[14:24] <kmahl> is that what it means? with changing permision chmod u+x?
[14:24] <theadmin> Is the winkey actually of ANY use on Ubuntu?
[14:24] <MixLaToR> in the previous version of ubuntu ...we can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst...but that's not the case here in karmic ..
[14:24] <ubuntu_> airtonix: i have already removed both as you told me to do bedore
[14:24] <Brandano> so careful with the double click on mail attachments
[14:24] <sluxor> i guess Dr_Willis  thanx for the help man
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> theadmin:  its the 'super' key and used by compiz a  in a great many places
[14:24] <MixLaToR> kittenjaugar, what's done is done...i installed ubuntu last
[14:25] <theadmin> MixLaToR: It is grub.conf now or sumthing
[14:25] <Guest25509> OK!
[14:25] <Guest25509> now that is service
[14:25] <theadmin> Dr_Willis: Like?
[14:25] <Guest25509> now one more
[14:25] <MixLaToR> theadmin, nope...
[14:25] <ubuntu_> airtonix: so my /home partition is empty now
[14:25] <alumnos> hello
[14:25] <SpaceGhostC2C> kittenjaugar: then he can't use ubuntu. He needs to configure grub to set windows as the default selection.
[14:25] <MixLaToR> !grub
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> theadmin:  check out compiz and all its features.. super+Mousewheel is zoom in/out - thats about all i rember off hand
[14:25] <alumnos> hello!
[14:25] <erUSUL> rodolfo_: in karmic that does not work. do « sudo restart gdm »
[14:25] <SpaceGhostC2C> !botabuse > MixLaToR
[14:25] <erUSUL> rodolfo_: or alt + sysrq + k
[14:25] <pbureau> erUSUL: chuckles he would of rebooted and been back by now...
[14:25] <airtonix> ubuntu_, ah ok cp the nikolas folder from your backup to the home partition
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> err.. its 'sudo service gdm restart' i think
[14:26] <MixLaToR> SpaceGhostC2C, ok
[14:26] <theadmin> Dr_Willis: Well, meh, don't like Compiz really, it's all hungry
[14:26] <kittenjaugar> SpaceGhostC2C:  Nod...let's configure grub.conf,and chainloader +1
[14:26] <Guest25509> I created a folder inside the main menu called remote and placed shortcuts to all my servers tsclient files.. any idea where that would be kept?
[14:26] <erorrs> how to work out bluetooth in ubuntu 9.10?
[14:26] <MixLaToR> anyway..i've a course now...i gotta go now...thanks for help everybody..
[14:26] <SpaceGhostC2C> MixLaToR: it's sometimes fun to take things out on the bot. I talk to her a lot.
[14:26] <ubuntu_> airtonix: in the /home/home or just in /home ?
[14:26] <MixLaToR> SpaceGhostC2C, i believe u :D
[14:26] <MixLaToR> byyyyyyyyyyyyye
[14:26] <pbureau> erorrs: if your pc has bluetooth capabilities, you should be able to use it out of the box, using gnome ?
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> erorrs:  it will depend on what devices you are wanting to use to some degree
[14:26] <airtonix> ubuntu_, in /home
[14:26] <SpaceGhostC2C> kittenjaugar: I could've helped if it was grub-legacy.
[14:27] <erUSUL> user2010: check that your cpu actualy supports kvm « grep -E --color 'svm|vmx' /proc/cpuinfo »
[14:27] <erorrs> yeah m using gnome it says bluetooth adapter is missing
[14:27] <kittenjaugar> SpaceGhostC2C:  Agreed you.
[14:27] <erUSUL> Guest25509: ~/.config/menus/ ?
[14:27] <user2010> erUSUL: the cpu model does support VT. I can not get it on
[14:27] <ubuntu_> airtonix: it s copying.it will take for a while, its several gb.what i do next//
[14:27] <user2010> cpu model E5405
[14:27] <Graphettion> Will Ubuntu work with Adobe CS4?
[14:27] <pbureau> erorrs: so you have a device you want to use in conjonction with you personal computer right ?
[14:28] <erUSUL> !appdb | Graphettion
[14:28] <airtonix> ubuntu_, nothing :) maybe have a read of this page http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/separatehome
[14:28] <istevenmon> hi guys, when i tried ubuntu as a live cd, it asked me if i wanted to install 3rd party drivers. i know installed ubuntu but the 3rd party drivers msg is not shown. how can i get these drivers ?
[14:28] <erorrs> yeah
[14:28] <nibbler__> Guest25509, i'd suggest you to use grdc (has a new name now, cant remember) or gnome-rdp
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> istevenmon:  should be an icon at the top right. Or use the hardware-drivers menu icon
[14:28] <Graphettion> erUSUL: Thank you. It probably doesn't support it still. I will check.
[14:28] <sluxor> Dr_Willis, Do you think I can somehow restrict them from using the mouse? It would be fun
[14:28] <ubuntu_> airtonix: we are doing again what i already had done from the begining and didn't work. that was what i did at the first place
[14:29] <Guest25509> terminal service client is the default install
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> sluxor:  never noticed or tried.. or wanted to
[14:29] <airtonix> ubuntu_, the section "What if it doesn't work?" seems relevant
[14:29] <pbureau> erorrs: so what is teh device ? and I assume you went to system >> preferences >> bluetooth
[14:29] <Guest25509> should I switch?
[14:29] <istevenmon> Dr_Willis: it is empty the hardware - drivers window :(
[14:29] <ubuntu_> airtonix: as I said before i was getting an error message while booting saying that home cannot be mounted
[14:29] <erorrs> yeah it says no adapter is present installed ndiswrapper
[14:29] <blackxored> Hi guys, help with debmirror, see here: http://pastebin.com/xH2qi7Sz this started happening after a power failure but it seems unrelated
[14:30] <pbureau> k
[14:30] <theadmin> blackxored: Seems like a Lucid issue, go to #ubuntu+1 for help with those
[14:30] <nibbler__> Guest25509, i'd just recommend to evaluate, you are the one who has to make the decision in the end. but in my opinion tsclient is very poor - the panel application has all itmems unsorted etc...
[14:30] <airtonix> ubuntu_, did you format it with the same filesystem as it was previously ?
[14:30] <pbureau> erorrs: bluetooth sometimes has to be enabled in the bios of your pc (mostly in laptops but it does happen on desktops)
[14:30] <blackxored> theadmin, I was doing the mirror on karmic
[14:30] <Dr_Willis> istevenmon:  what drvers are You looking for? video card? wht card?
[14:31] <l3ns> hi everyone again
[14:31] <blackxored> theadmin, now I'm in lucid yes, but that started happening way before the upgrade
[14:31] <erorrs> m using laptop of hp it has a tuch button to activate
[14:31] <Guest25509> I will rephrase.. I added a new folder to the Main Menu.    Where could I find that from the command line so I can make a copy?
[14:31] <l3ns> is there a way to restore my xorg file? i messed it up and now i'm on a smaller resolution :(
[14:31] <pbureau> erorrs: cool I am using HP laptop as well...
[14:31] <Guest25509> nibbler__ what do you use?
[14:31] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  this is why its always a good idea to make backups. Check in /etc/X11/ and see if any are backed up
[14:31] <erorrs> me hp dv5 1002au
[14:31] <ubuntu_> airtonix: before ate the begining t was ext3 that later was converted into ext4 without formating.now i formated it in ext4
[14:31] <nibbler__> Guest25509, guess.
[14:31] <pbureau> erorrs:  if bluetooth is NOT enabled in BIOS (F2 on boot) then the blue button does nothing
[14:31] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: okay..
[14:32] <erorrs> is that works on ur
[14:32] <airtonix> ubuntu_, this might be the issue maybe ? fstab expects it to be ext3 still ?
[14:32] <pbureau> erorrs: yes
[14:32] <erorrs> how u did?
[14:32] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: there's a file named xorg.conf.backup
[14:33] <l3ns> what should I do with it?
[14:33] <airtonix> ubuntu_, check what filesystem  /etc/fstab specifies for the /home
[14:33] <ubuntu_> airtonix: http://pastebin.com/gFh43Aww
[14:33] <slacker_nl> hello, does anyone have a clue on how much data a default UNR install consumes?
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  some tools auto backup.   copy it to xorg.conf if you want.. You could look at it first to see whats in it.. and check its creatuon date
[14:33] <slacker_nl> i know a default ubuntu install is around 3/4 Gb
[14:33] <pbureau> erorrs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> slacker_nl:  you mean hard drive space.. id say about the same
[14:33] <l3ns> okay.. doing it now. i think it's the original settings
[14:34] <slacker_nl> Dr_Willis: yes, hdd space
[14:34] <slacker_nl> mkay..
[14:34] <istevenmon> Dr_Willis: wireless, video, etc
[14:34] <airtonix> ubuntu_, ah ok, try replacing that uuid with /dev/sdb5
[14:34] <erorrs> me ugrading the kernel is it good
[14:34] <pbureau> i use 9.10
[14:34] <ubuntu_> airtonix: where?
[14:34] <pbureau> opps erorrs I use 9.10
[14:34] <Yerushalmi> When trying to install the gecko-mediaplayer plugin for Firefox, I get the error "configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 ) were not met: No package 'glib-2.0' found." after performing the first step (./configure). How do I fix this?
[14:34] <airtonix> ubuntu_, unless you know how to generate a valid uuid from the new /home partition ?
[14:34] <slacker_nl> Dr_Willis: doesn't leave me much room to play with
[14:34] <erorrs> me too
[14:34] <slacker_nl> airtonix: blkid?
[14:35] <ubuntu_> airtonix: no i dont.can you please throw on pastebin how fstab should be?
[14:35] <airtonix> ubuntu_, ok
[14:35] <slacker_nl> basicly you generate a new UUID when you play with the partition table.. which is anoying
[14:35] <airtonix> ubuntu_, i assume /dev/sdb5 is your home partition ?
[14:35] <ubuntu_> airtonix: yes
[14:35] <Guest25509> nibbler_ you recomended grdc or gnome-rdp  what do you use?
[14:36] <Guest25509> I will rephrase.. I added a new folder to the Main Menu.    Where could I find that from the command line so I can make a copy?
[14:36] <airtonix> ubuntu_, before you make these changes, do a backup of /etc/fstab : cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_bak
[14:36] <kittenjaugar> all ubuntu Friends, How would I find the File /etc/inittab?  workdirectory:/ect/----->  "ls -a  inittab"----> No such file found...
[14:36] <ubuntu_> airtonix: ok
[14:36] <airtonix> ubuntu_, http://pastebin.com/5NSLC8Mx
[14:37] <slacker_nl> ubuntu_: you can use the old notation as well :) /dev/sdb5, see http://pb.opperschaap.net/211
[14:37] <TxHawks> Is it possible to have store two different SSH public keys for the same machine connecting on different ports? SSH on the default port connects to a web VPS and on port 888 to the host system. When I add both keys to my keyrings, I just can't connect
[14:37] <slacker_nl> kittenjaugar: locate inittab, find /etc -name inittab or find /etc -name init\*
[14:38] <kittenjaugar> slacker_nl:  Yes, but doesn't work
[14:38] <airtonix> ubuntu_, give that a shot see if it works for you
[14:38] <pbureau> Yerushalmi: sudo apt-get install glib-perl
[14:38] <tininek> could u recommend me a good videocall aplication other than amsn or skype?
[14:39] <Yerushalmi> thanks, pbureau
[14:39] <pbureau> Yerushalmi: sudo apt-get install libglib-perl
[14:39] <slacker_nl> kittenjaugar: mkay
[14:39] <pbureau> Yerushalmi: the second one is the right one
[14:39] <ubuntu_> airtonix: i ll wait for the files to complete cpying and then reboot.
[14:40] <Yerushalmi> pbureau: Weird, it says libglib-perl is already the newest version.
[14:40] <pbureau> kittenjaugar:  locate -eLi inittab
[14:40] <ubuntu_> airtonix: but the only thing we actually changed was fstab. could fstab be the problem?
[14:40] <airtonix> ubuntu_, i hope so
[14:40] <ubuntu_> airtonix: i hope i works, orelse i ll be back in a whiiie... tnx anyway
[14:40] <pbureau> Yerushalmi:  the synaptec pakacging states it is in that libglib-perl pakage
[14:40] <kittenjaugar> May I ask all you ubuntu experts, are you have /etc/inittab file?? I can't find...
[14:41] <tininek> ubottu webcam?
[14:41] <pbureau> Yerushalmi: you could force a new install I guess... but doubt it would solve anything
[14:41] <tininek> ubottu webcam!
[14:41] <tininek> ubottu voip?
[14:41] <kittenjaugar> pbureau: Thank you, but still not found.
[14:41] <Yerushalmi> pbureau: hehe. Maybe I'll try uninstalling and reinstalling the package?
[14:41] <n8w_> i wanna chnge permissions to drop_caches,but when i run(us su) :chmod 755 drop_caches i get this: ***chmod: changing permissions of `drop_caches': Operation not permitted***
[14:41] <Brandano> tininek: Ah, nice can of worms that
[14:42] <tininek> sorry ;)
[14:42] <Guest25509> anyone?
[14:42] <Brandano> tininek: depends a lot on the specific webcam. the one on my laptop works out of the box
[14:42] <tininek> mine works out of the box, i just need a good voip program
[14:42] <tininek> any suggestions?
[14:42] <chili555> kittenjaugar, man inittab  says its /etc/init
[14:42] <pbureau> kittenjaugar: mine shows  --> locate -eiL inittab --> /usr/lib/upstart/migrate-inittab.pl and /usr/share/man/man5/inittab.5.gz

[14:43] <Brandano> tininek: depends on what compatibility you want. Skype works under linux, but it's not OSS
[14:43] <Stargaze> !hi| Kuro
[14:43] <Brandano> tininek: try ekiga
[14:43] <kittenjaugar> pbureau: Yes, youurs same as me....no inittab in /etc/
[14:44] <pbureau> kittenjaugar: haven't felt the need for one :)
[14:44] <Kuro> Does anybody know how I can change my default editor on the linux shell from vi to nano? I already tried to edit my .profile (with export EDITOR=nano)
[14:44] <tininek> skype eats most of my cpu, does ekiga support webcam in messenger accounts? Brandano
[14:44] <Brandano> tininek: I think empathy also supports voip/video protocols
[14:45] <kittenjaugar> chili555: i can't man inittab....I think i missing some package
[14:45] <Brandano> ekiga supports its own protocol, I think
[14:45] <kittenjaugar> pbureau:  : ) nod
[14:45] <ProfessorBacon> how do i restart x from a terminal session?
[14:45] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: still messed up :( when I log in it says running on a low resolution..
[14:45] <sudobash> sudo service gdm restart
[14:45] <chili555> kittenjaugar, do you have a directory /etc/init?
[14:45] <Yerushalmi> different question, then: anybody know how to get a windows media player plugin working in Firefox?
[14:45] <tininek> I tried empathy and pidgin and kopete, but they dont seem to have webcam support in ubuntu already, amsn works very sweet, but no sound Brandano
[14:45] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  did you check the date of the backup? My systems can run find with No xorg.conf, try renaming it and not using an xorg.conf
[14:46] <pbureau> kittenjaugar: trying to run 'rungetty' ?

[14:48] <Kuro> hm guess i need to retype my question :)
[14:48] <Brandano> tininek: I'd shy away from the msn protocol, though
[14:48] <Kuro> Does anybody know how I can change my default editor on the linux shell from vi to nano? I already tried to edit my .profile (with export EDITOR=nano)
[14:48] <Dr_Willis> web5|org|ua:  if you are not using swap.. yes.. using 0 would be normal
[14:48] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: is there no other way of retrieving my original settings? like just pressing the set default button or something?
[14:48] <kittenjaugar> chili555:  yes, have folder /etc/
[14:48] <Brandano> Kuro: alias it?
[14:48] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  never noticed. My 'original settings' are what the system gets from a blank xorg.conf
[14:49] <chili555> kittenjaugar, ls /etc/init
[14:49] <web5|org|ua> just added 512 memory, and swap don't used buy Ubuntu, but event can't see that swap is mounted as partition !
[14:49] <tininek> yep im on that Brandano, bur i dont know how to use another that has video support
[14:49] <Kuro> Brandano, I didn't  really understood that ;)
[14:49] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: you think I should try make my xorg file blank as well?
[14:50] <Dan_E> cazanova^^  Visit us at network chat and get bots + hosting special and free,   /server IRC.ForChat.Net  vgetting this pm on login
[14:50] <nibbler__> web5|org|ua, use free -m - swap never shows as it doesnot have a mountpoint
[14:50] <Brandano> Kuro: alias vi=nano
[14:50] <Brandano> Kuro: nasty, though
[14:50] <skraps> beware of the purple pill eating smurfs, there out to get you. there hiding everywhere!!!

[14:50] <Kuro> Brandano, that's dirty ^^ but i'll try it
[14:50] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  i suggested earlier rennameing your xorg.conf to somthing and trying with out a xorg.conf at all.. try it and see
[14:50] <kittenjaugar> chili555: Yes :) I have /etc/init  But I read a E-boook "linux Nutshell" It said Unix like system all have /inittab
[14:51] <ahorner> Hello, I'm trying to install Webmin in Lucid. I can't seem to install libmd5-perl though. Apt says there is no installation candidate.

[14:51] <tininek> ubottu Empathy?
[14:51] <abhi_nav> zeus__ ask in #freenode
[14:51] <Brandano> Kuro: test it in a shel before adding it to profile
[14:51] <web5|org|ua> thanks to all, now it's clear.

[14:51] <Kuro> Brandano, of course ;)
[14:51] <Stargaze> !lucid| ahorner
[14:51] <chili555> kittenjaugar, they are obviously wrong, then
[14:51] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: alright
[14:52] <kittenjaugar> hmm.....
[14:52] <jatt> Hi, I do:
[14:52] <jatt> sudo gdm-setup
[14:52] <tininek> !empathy| tininek
[14:52] <jatt> A dialog box is shown but all dimmed
[14:52] <jatt> it has an unlock button, but when I click on it nothing happens
[14:52] <kittenjaugar> ubottu bot sends a private message???  : P
[14:52] <jatt> how can I change the gdm theme? I thought gdm-setup was the program to do it.
[14:52] <Lappie> what is ibus daemion?
[14:52] <Brandano> kittenjaugar: it does if prompted to

[14:53] <saeed_> مرحبا
[14:54] <Meeko> !first ubuntu
[14:54] <Lappie> what is IBus daemon (in laymens terms please)?
[14:54] <Dr_Willis> Lappie:  somthing for interprocess communication i belive. lets parts of the desktop talk to each other

[14:54] <kittenjaugar> If a bot can do things with conditions, it is good
[14:54] <Brandano> kittenjaugar: you should see the amount of people that tries to chat up fajita in #apache
[14:54] <abhi_nav> Dan_E sorry sorry its my mistake type: /ignore cazanova^^ all
[14:55] <kittenjaugar> Brandano:  : )
[14:55] <Dan_E> kick em
[14:55] <Lappie> i see that it has something 2 do with input devices, but i cant fig what it does exactly
[14:55] <Meeko> !ubuntu 4.10
[14:55] <abhi_nav> Dan_E done?
[14:55] <Dan_E> yep
[14:55] <abhi_nav> Dan_E :-)
[14:56] <Stargaze> jatt, check http://www.ubuntumini.com/2009/09/hack-karmics-gdm-login-screen.html
[14:56] <Brandano> Meeko: isn't that a bit old?
[14:56] <Lappie> does it perhaps have something to do with accessability options or something?
[14:56] <slacker_nl> TxHawks: re different ssh keys, should be possible, if you use a different sshd_config for each seperate sshd process
[14:56] <slacker_nl> Meeko: what are you trying to do wit 4.10?
[14:57] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: that worked :)
[14:57] <fabio333> it is possible to get kms+plymouth working on a old ati card?
[14:57] <slacker_nl> Brandano: 4.10 was the first released ubuntu afaik
[14:57] <TxHawks> slacker_nl, I think you misunderstood me - I am trying to connect to a system that HAS tow public keys
[14:57] <TxHawks> two
[14:57] <TxHawks> slacker_nl, the same IP is both for one of the VPSs and the host system
[14:58] <slacker_nl> ahh, and you get those warnings messages
[14:58] <slacker_nl> i see i see
[14:58] <TxHawks> just on different ports
[14:58] <Kuro> Ah found a way :)  sudo update-alternatives --config editor
[14:58] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: thanks :)
[14:58] <TxHawks> I first imported the host system's key
[14:58] <TxHawks> and it works
[14:58] <TxHawks> and then the VPSs key
[14:59] <l3ns> how do I enable a twinview like function in ubuntu? i'm using a laptop now and i have 1 lcd..
[14:59] <Guest25509> anyone know what I need to install to get rid of No package 'glib-2.0' found and No package 'gtk+-2.0' found
[14:59] <kittenjaugar> using enabling join/part in  Pdgin 2.6, but still saw messages of many fellows enter this popular Channel??? WONDER??
[14:59] <slacker_nl> TxHawks: ssh -i $identity_file $host
[14:59]  * pbureau_away is away: Gone away for now
[14:59] <Tiders-> l3ns, What graphics card are you using
[15:00] <l3ns> Tiders-: the default i think. how do I check?
[15:00] <TxHawks> so say I try and ssh to <IP_ADDRESS>?
[15:00] <TxHawks> host is on -p 888
[15:00] <Tiders-> l3ns, Is your graphics card a Nvidia?
[15:00] <TxHawks> and VPS is on -p 22
[15:00] <Stargaze> <IP_ADDRESS> is your router
[15:00] <l3ns> Tiders-: no..
[15:00] <lurdita> hola
[15:00]  * pbureau is back.
[15:00] <lurdita> hola
[15:01] <Tiders-> l3ns, GO to system > Preferences > Display tell me when you are there
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  i just install the nvidia drivers. run 'gksudo nvidia-settings' and tweak it and it goes.. HOWEVER.. that tool may require you to save  its 'generated xorg.conf' to some location othe then /etc/X11/xorg.conf first. Then you copy it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf afterwards
[15:01] <lurdita> como os llamais
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  that nvidia-settings tools is a little out of date in many ways sadly
[15:01] <BluesKaj> !es | lurdita
[15:01] <Tiders-> Dr_Willis, He just said he does not have a nvidia card
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  if you just have one monitor - why do you need it?
[15:01] <TxHawks> Stargaze, I know, it was just an example
[15:01] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: that's what I did earlier and I ended up messing my reso hehe.
[15:01] <lurdita> si soy lurdes rodriguez machin
[15:01] <Tiders-> Dr_Willis, He said hes using a laptop with an LCD to connect it to
[15:01] <lurdita> por
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  if you DONT have a nvidia card then you dont need twinview.
[15:02] <l3ns> Tiders-: i'm using hardy heron, no Display under Preference
[15:02] <Tiders-> Dr_Willis, You can still do Twinview without a nvidia card
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> Tiders-:  if no nvidia - then the question is pointless. Tqinview is a nvidia feature. :)
[15:02] <lurdita> eo
[15:02] <pbureau> l3ns: terminal window type "lspci -v | Less " the display adapter line shoudl shwo there
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> Tiders-:  its 'xinerama'  then
[15:02] <Tiders-> Dr_Willis, He said "Twinview like style" which is what I was helping him get
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> Twinview is nvidias own name for their xinerama-and more feature.
[15:03] <lurdita> que estais haciendo
[15:03] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: yeah i heard of xinerama, should i use that instead?
[15:03] <lurdita> klfbghbjasklhjnfbohjká?
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  you need to state exactly WHAT your video cardis for starters I think
[15:03] <lurdita> no hombre
[15:03] <fabio333> kms+plymouth: is it posibble on ATi?
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  for intel cards the default system res tool worked forme to get 2+ monitors going
[15:03] <lurdita> hola estais hay
[15:03] <kittenjaugar> I am using Pidgin 2.6 to IRC, and enabling join/part Hding Plugin, but still saw messages of many fellows enter this popular Channel???? What is the reason?? who can help?
[15:03] <Tiders-> l3ns, Is there display settings under administration?
[15:04] <l3ns> Tiders-: nop
[15:04] <pbureau> kittenjaugar: ask in #pidgin I would imagine
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  also for some laptops the special laptop function screen buttons need to be used to enable the 2nd monitor
[15:04] <lurdita> si hay hay alguien español que able
[15:04] <Stargaze> !es| lurdita
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  you may need to hit that special button a few times - then run that tool
[15:05] <lurdita> si soy lurdita y que
[15:05] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: you refering to xinerama?
[15:05] <kittenjaugar> Have #pidgin channel at this site?? I give it a try now.
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  xinerama is the default feature of X used for multi-monitor support
[15:05] <Lappie> OH! now i see, the ibus's job for ubuntu is a spelling helper, it's like spellchecker, ibus is for running a prog made in c++ to run in linux, and the program its running is ISPELL
[15:05] <lurdita> chao me voy asta luego
[15:05] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  nvidia and ati have their own special named enhanced variant
[15:06] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: ah, so i don't need to install it now.
[15:06] <von_neumann> i'm hosed, Errors were encountered while processing: libc6_2.7-18lenny1_i386.deb
[15:06] <Stargaze> hasta la proxima, lurdita ;)
[15:06] <pbureau> l3ns: you got 2 monitors ?
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  install what? xinerama is built into the X drivers
[15:06] <kittenjaugar> pbureau: can't enter #pidgin..
[15:06] <Lappie> thats sad, it took me 2 hours to fig that out :(
[15:06] <von_neumann> apt-get -f install doesn't fix it
[15:06] <l3ns> pbureau: a laptop and a lcd
[15:06] <von_neumann> how do i make it stop?
[15:06] <slacker_nl> von_neumann: you are aware of the fact that you are installing a debian pacakge right?
[15:07] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  for my netbook i just plug in the lcd.. boot up. run that settngs tool (i think i had to hit the buttons to turn on the lcd first) then away it works
[15:07] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: how do I enable my laptop to display my lcd?
[15:07] <von_neumann> yes
[15:07] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: what button?
[15:07] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:   the special external monitor button that most everylaptop has
[15:07] <slacker_nl> von_neumann: why not take the ubuntu version of that package?
[15:07] <pbureau> l3ns: look on your keyboard for a special color set of keys qwith a "screen" on it, look for fucntion key that has the rigth colors ad hold fucntion key and press "screen" key a few times slowly
[15:08] <lurdita> si adios
[15:08] <slacker_nl> von_neumann: i dunno which ubuntu you run, but I assume it has that version in the repo's
[15:08] <Stargaze> von_neumann, slacker_nl , can dpkg-reconfigure -a not be the solution?
[15:08] <Dr_Willis> When it pays to read the laptop manuals.. :)
[15:08] <slacker_nl> Stargaze: could be ;)
[15:08] <pbureau> Dr_Willis: indeed.
[15:08] <mikubuntu> omg.  i can't believe i've had this laptop for 6 months or more, and i JUST noticed the little tag on the top that says 'amd athlon 64' .. i've had the 32 bit versions running all this time.  can i assume that i should have the 64 bit version running instead?
[15:09] <pbureau> mikubuntu: nah 64 is overrated
[15:09] <pbureau> chuckles
[15:09] <sloopy> mikubuntu, no you can run either
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> mikubuntu:  i always use 64 when i can
[15:09] <l3ns> hmm okay will try
[15:09] <KB1JWQ> x86_64 is the future.
[15:09] <Dr_Willis> KB1JWQ:  i think its allready here
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> only 32bit machine i got left is the netbooks :)
[15:10] <Gangrel> Dr_Willis, hi can you check this site and tell me how i can modify my bottom panel to these bubbles? http://www.gnome-look.org/content/preview.php?preview=1&id=85196&file1=85196-1.jpg&file2=&file3=&name=My+conky+config
[15:10] <slacker_nl> the future is always here, without now, there is no future.. ;)
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  what part are you talking about?
[15:10] <pbureau> Dr_Willis: got to be a n old lappy to be 32 bits only
[15:11] <slacker_nl> i have to say, the unr installation cd has a weird installer, black screen, hear the cd spinning, that's about it
[15:11] <mikubuntu> someone told me on another channel that if i din't have at least 4gb ram that no point to running 64 .. what do you guys think?
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  that bottom Panel is not a panel.. its one of the various silly 'docks' out there
[15:11] <linduxed> my AR8132 ethernet card refuses to show up in nm-applet, even though i've done a "sudo modprobe atl1c"
[15:11] <Stargaze> today is yesterday's future
[15:11] <l3ns> pbureau: where is this "screen" key?
[15:11] <linduxed> am i using the wrong driver?
[15:11] <pbureau> l3ns: dude, search your owners manual, I am not the all knowing lappy expert
[15:11] <eoke> Gangrel take a look at things like AWN, Gnome-Do (Docky) etc
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  on my laptops its one of the FN keys
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  use the fn-special meta key and a F key or somthing. Look at thekayboard closely
[15:12] <von_neumann> slacker_nl: I'm running karmic, this all started when I did this:sudo apt-get install mono-common libmono-winforms2.0-cil
[15:12] <Gangrel> Dr_Willis, aahhh i see thanks again
[15:12] <Gangrel> eoke, thank you too :)
[15:12] <eoke> Gangrel: This might help http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/05/08/the-best-and-worst-docks-for-ubuntu/
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  thats a rather ugly desktop :)
[15:12] <slacker_nl> von_neumann: mkay
[15:12] <chili555> linduxed, after you modprobed it, did an interface eth0 show up in ifconfig?
[15:12] <Dr_Willis> Gangrel:  the only 'dock' i can stand is docky.
[15:12] <istevenmon> i have an iphone i want to use with ubuntu, do you guys know a replacement for itunes under linux?
[15:12] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: i can see a button beside CTRL and named FN
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  there ya go.. never wondered what that was for eh?
[15:13] <Gangrel> Dr_Willis i agree i was just curious how i can get them too :)
[15:13] <kittenjaugar> I am using Pidgin access to IRC, and "enabling join/part Hding" Plugin, but still saw messages of many fellows enter this popular Channel???? display is fill with those message..what's the reason?are friend using pidgin too? have ever suffer same question?
[15:13] <von_neumann> and now
[15:13] <pbureau> Dr_Willis: aww common, you have to love Citroen to appreciate the 'rustic' look of it all
[15:13] <eoke> I tend to find Gnome-do and a few key presses is faster than any dock
[15:13] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: so i jsut keep on pressing that one?
[15:13] <pbureau> istevenmon: using gnome ?
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  we sayid to LOOK for the monitor key. that fn key works WITH other keys
[15:13] <istevenmon> pbureau: yes
[15:13] <linduxed> chili555: nope
[15:14] <linduxed> chili555: i've only got wlan0 and lo
[15:14] <Enverex> I have a really strange issue. At some point today my sound stopped working, I assumed it had been muted or something obvious, but it's not. Infact the volume mixer no-longer shows my sound hardware at all and the output is set to "Dummy Output". Any ideas where my sound-card has gone? (rebooting didn't fix it)
[15:14] <pbureau> istevenmon: application, ubuntun software center - search - itunes ya will find some
[15:14] <von_neumann> istevenmon,   Amarok and Rythymbox
[15:14] <Enverex> It's still listed in lspci and alsamixer shows it
[15:14] <slacker_nl> von_neumann: apt-cache policy glibc6 says what?
[15:14] <istevenmon> von_neumann: will it sync apps and stuff?
[15:14] <zen933k> Enverex: Do you dual boot?
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  on my laptops the 'FN' is in light blue.. and the light blue text/icons on the OTHER keys show what they do when used with the FN key
[15:15] <Enverex> zen933k, Yes, testing it in Windows was my last option though
[15:15]  * pbureau grins and offers Dr_Willis a "most patient support person today" badge
[15:15] <chili555> linduxed, then its probably the wrong driver. atl1xx are a bit twitchy anyway. when you run lspci -nn check the pci.id. something like 123e:456a and lets google it
[15:15] <slacker_nl> von_neumann: could you run apt-cache policy glibc-2.7-1 ?
[15:16] <linduxed> chili555: the problem is that it doesn't even show up on lspci
[15:16] <kittenjaugar> pbureau:  still can't enter #pidgin, don't know why.
[15:16] <zen933k> Encerex: I've experienced the same thing. Something to do with soundcard drivers not resetting properly during a reboot. Consider a Shutdown and see if you get sound
[15:16] <l3ns> Dr_Willis: i have hit all possible combinations with the FN key and still not workin.. :(
[15:16] <linduxed> chili555: i had it at least showing up in jaunty
[15:16] <pbureau> kittenjaugar: dunno... I dont run it check on puidgin main web site for the reason probably
[15:16] <Guest25509> ahhhh No package 'gtk+-2.0' found  hellllp
[15:16] <linduxed> chili555: in karmic i can't even see it
[15:16] <kittenjaugar> pbureau: ok, I'm checking
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> l3ns:  you need to try the MOnitor key several times slowly. It normally turns the external monitor ON/OFF/CLONE for me
[15:17] <chili555> linduxed, any chance its an internal card attached to a usb bus? does it show up in lsusb?
[15:17] <von_neumann> slacker_nl, unfortunately I ran the dpkg-reconfigure -a...  so i have to finish that first?
[15:17] <von_neumann> wtf, it installed a 2.4 kernel?
[15:17] <Guest56655> kittenjaugar: are you seeing  more than 2 or 3 at a time? this is a very busy channel
[15:18] <von_neumann> and Lilo too?  man I knew i should should have stayed away from that mono crap
[15:18] <zen933k> Enverex: I've experienced the same thing. Something to do with soundcard drivers not resetting properly during a reboot. Consider a Shutdown and see if you get sound **repeated because I spelt your name wrong :S
