[16:12] <BluesKaj> w1jp, open admin>additional drivers (if that path still exists) , and choose the recommended driver
[16:13] <satish_> hey
[16:13] <satish_> anyone from India
[16:13] <w1jp> ALL: I installed sysinfo and it properly identified my card  and I also discoverd that I am using NVIDIA Driver Version: 173.14.30
[16:14] <ajnabicancer> Blackshirt: i have removed previous drivers because those aren't working file. once it bring "signals out of range" then resolution error.

[16:14] <trakinas> Im trying to run memtest, but it get stuck at the fisrt screen. no keyboard, no action, no messages. Im starting it from grub. Am I doing something wrong?
[16:14] <BluesKaj> w1jp,  read my post above , make sure the 173 is the recommended driver
[16:14] <LinSkyrate> someone know howto switch desktops/workspace via keyboard in Linux/kde?
[16:14] <blackshirt> Ajnabicancer,you can install open source nvidia drivers version from repository,or you can download propietary version for linux from nvidia websites
[16:15] <ziyadb> LinSkyrate: Ctrl+Alt+Arrow Keys
[16:15] <satish_> anyone from India
[16:15] <LinSkyrate> ziyadb, nope.. thats in Gnome.. but not in KDE as it seems

[16:16] <undeclaredx> I'm having an issue with samba.  It's not allowing unix logins, although it's configured as user. Does anyone know the fix for this?
[16:16] <w1jp> BluesKaj: 173 is selected
[16:16] <BluesKaj> ok , did you install it , w1jp ?
[16:16] <blackshirt> Satish_ this is universal place
[16:17] <BluesKaj> not selected , w1jp I mean recommended
[16:17] <zykotick9> !tab > blackshirt
[16:18] <w1jp> BluesKaj:  there are three other options
[16:18] <w1jp> 1) NVIDA (post-release updates (version173-updates)
[16:18] <w1jp> 2)  " (version current) [recommended]
[16:18] <w1jp> 3) " (post-release updates)(version current-dupdate)
[16:18] <satish_> this is universal place ?
[16:18] <blackshirt> Undeclaredx, what you mean with not allowing unix logins?
[16:18] <satish_> like a major black hole ?
[16:18] <bastidrazor> satish_: #ubuntu-in would be a great place to look for fellow indies
[16:18] <satish_> how do i get here?
[16:18] <bastidrazor> satish_: type /join #ubuntu-in

[16:19] <TUX11> plz
[16:19] <Canadian1296> !ask | TUX11
[16:19] <w1jp> BluesKaj: you think I should use the newest one?
[16:19] <BluesKaj> w1jp, ok ..that's the correct driver , you can be adventurous and try #3
[16:20] <TUX11> right i try and open mousetrap and it dont open
[16:20] <TUX11> what am i doing wrong
[16:20] <BluesKaj> w1jp,  but that's your choice
[16:20] <TUX11> the mouse spins but nothing happens
[16:20] <w1jp> BluesKay, tnx
[16:21] <shourov> hello.... i have installed ubuntu 11.10 from alternate cd. but i cannot boot into ubuntu without the recovery mode? what should i do?
[16:21] <BluesKaj> ok , BBL ...
[16:21] <trakinas> anyone?
[16:22] <TUX11> hmmm is the MBR ok
[16:22] <Canadian1296> shourov: What happens when you boot normally?
[16:22] <Benxyzzy> bash script: How do I put double quotes inside a double quoted string?
[16:22] <blackshirt> Shourov check your disk
[16:22] <Chipzzz> Benxyzzy: "\""
[16:23] <shourov> Canadian1296: a blank screen, then the monitor switches off
[16:23] <Erealz> hey everyone i was wondering if there a common fix for this error no screens found?
[16:23] <Benxyzzy> Chipzzz: Like "My name is \"Ben\"" ?
[16:23] <zykotick9> !nomodeset | shourov
[16:23] <trakinas> Benxyzzy: yes. you have to scape them.
[16:23] <Chipzzz> Benxyzzy: yes
[16:23] <TUX11> is there another software like mousetrap
[16:23] <Benxyzzy> Chipzzz, trakinas : Thanks!
[16:23] <Chipzzz> :-)
[16:24] <bazhang> TUX11, to do what
[16:24] <Canadian1296> Benxyzzy: Yes. You can escape any characters like that with / (To include a backslah type //)
[16:24] <TUX11> control the mouse using webcam
[16:24] <Benxyzzy> Canadian: Shouldn't your slashes be the other way round?
[16:24] <Canadian1296> Benxyzzy: Haha yes, yes they should.
[16:25] <trakinas> How long does memtest takes to start its test?
[16:25] <Benxyzzy> That's the last piece of easily the most complicated script I've ever written
[16:25] <Chipzzz> Canadian1296: you're using slashes, not sloshes ;-)
[16:25] <shourov> ubottu: i can boot normally if i remove vt.handoff option from grub, but it starts only the console system....now, i ll try the nomodeset
[16:26] <Chipzzz> Benxyzzy: congrats on your accomplishment :-)
[16:26] <Canadian1296> Chipzzz: In my defense, I'm on an iPod Touch not a computer. Its hard to type on a tiny virtual keyboard...
[16:26] <Canadian1296> Chipzzz: :P
[16:26] <Chipzzz> Canadian1296: lol... i didn't mean to find fault... just observing
[16:27] <ksus> yo guys
[16:27] <ksus> linux rox
[16:28] <TUX11> we know ;)
[16:28] <Chipzzz> ksus: we've noticed ;)
[16:28] <Chipzzz> ksus: glad you did too :)
[16:28] <TUX11> but i cant get mousetrap to work >:(
[16:28] <ksus> lol
[16:28] <trakinas> how long does the memtest takes to start running? it seems to be freezing here. =(
[16:28] <LuXor> Hi, im new to ubuntu and i have a network connection problem with the Ubuntu Software Ceter. I'm using my university proxy server in order to connect to internet, i can connect with any problem minus the Ubuntu Software ceneter, so i cannot install any program using it
[16:28] <ksus> i just started because of work
[16:28] <ksus> I like to know everything abvout it
[16:28] <Chipzzz> welcome aboard!
[16:29] <ksus> already installed on home pc and my private + work laptop
[16:29] <bazhang> TUX11, installed from where
[16:29] <LuXor> Could anyone help to to resolve this trouble with the Ubunto Software center connection?
[16:29] <TUX11> software centre
[16:29] <bazhang> !manual | ksus
[16:29] <bazhang> !info mousetrap
[16:29] <ubuntu-guy> Anyone know how i can configure text mode login please(startx for X)... ? I edited the grub but ubuntu still ask Password in GUI. Help please?
[16:29] <ksus> its nice
[16:29] <ksus> it working fast
[16:29] <Canadian1296> ubuntu-guy: What changes did you make to grub?
[16:30] <bazhang> ksus, support question?
[16:30] <zykotick9> !text | ubuntu-guy
[16:30] <ksus> !manual
[16:30] <Chipzzz> ksus: if you like it now, install cairo-dock and watch... :-)
[16:30] <bazhang> ksus, general chat in #ubuntu-offtopic #ubuntu for support
[16:30] <ksus> whats that
[16:30] <blackshirt> Ubuntu-guy. What you mean with ask password for gui?
[16:30] <ksus> lemme google on that one
[16:30] <Canadian1296> ksus: If you don't have a support question, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:30] <TUX11> ill just use the compter for her :(
[16:30] <Chipzzz> ksys it's in the repos... just install it with software center... it rox!
[16:31] <ksus> cairo dock is FX related right
[16:31] <ubuntu-guy> Canadian1296, GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text"   (It was "quiet splash")
[16:31] <trakinas> blackshirt: I think he means booting into command line, not X.
[16:31] <zykotick9> ubuntu-guy: did you run "sudo update-grub" after making the change?
[16:31] <Canadian1296> ubuntu-guy: You have to run "sudo update-grub" after to save your changes.
[16:31] <ubuntu-guy> yeah
[16:31] <Chipzzz> ksus: fx?
[16:32] <ubuntu-guy> Canadian1296, zykotick9 yeah i did
[16:32] <ksus> thnx chips its installing now
[16:32] <Canadian1296> ksus: To find out more about a package you can type "/msg ubottu !info packagename"
[16:32] <undeclaredx> can I lock down /etc to be readable only by root?
[16:32] <trakinas> will try to boot into memtest again. btb.
[16:33] <liujie> nihao
[16:33] <liujie>  ,ksdjmv osdjvpsov
[16:33] <Canadian1296> undeclaredx: Yes, but it doesn't sound like a good idea
[16:33] <mbutubuntu> hello folks. I'm trying to start Ubuntu 10.04 but it gets Kernel Panic (I know it because I see keyboard leds blinking). I've tried also other linux distro like Fedora but nothing to do... I think there is an hardwar problem with some PCI (or ???). I'd like to run ubuntu live cd in text mode to see traceback for the kernel panic. How to do it? thanks
[16:33] <zykotick9> undeclaredx: no (unless you want to break your system for everyone but root, including all services)
[16:33] <bazhang> !cn | liujie
[16:33] <undeclaredx> k =)
[16:33] <Chipzzz> ksus: enjoy :-)
[16:34] <undeclaredx> zykotick9: what's the default permissions then?
[16:34] <undeclaredx> just out of curiosity
[16:34] <zykotick9> undeclaredx: they're not all the same
[16:34] <daviddoria> Apparently the Ubuntu Tex packages are very old. I've seen some (very complicated) instructions for installing "vanialla Tex" - is there any easier way to do this?
[16:34] <undeclaredx> k
[16:35] <Arthur> I
[16:35] <riad_shourov> zykotick9: i ve just checked with nomodeset option. it worked...thanks :)
[16:35] <Chipzzz> mbutubuntu: press shift while it's booting & the grub menu will offer you a recovery console, which is text mode
[16:35] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: :)
[16:35] <Arthur> I just want to learn something about Ubuntu on Android......
[16:35] <ssta> daviddoria: I can't think of much the ubuntu TeX packages can't do...installing TeX isn't trivial
[16:35] <Canadian1296> undeclaredx: To find out yours, type "ls -l / | grep etc"
[16:35] <ksus> Cairo-dock rocks indeed
[16:35] <Arthur> Which channel should I join..
[16:35] <undeclaredx> k
[16:35] <clever> is it normal for /sbin/init to be using 95% of the cpu time?
[16:35] <ubuntu-guy> Just i want to type "startx" to get the X
[16:35] <kapz> hi I am using ubuntu 11.10 gnome-shell on a laptop, the prpblem is suspend timeout won't work however closing lid,pressing Fn+F2 key or suspend from menu works perfectly fine...
[16:36] <zykotick9> Canadian1296: "ls -l /etc" would be easier
[16:36] <daviddoria> ssta yea I really don't want to, but I'm getting erros and the tex people have told me some of my packages are too old
[16:36] <zykotick9> Arthur: try #ubuntu-phone
[16:36] <mbutubuntu> Chipzzz, ok thanks
[16:36] <Dig> .
[16:36] <Dig> .
[16:36] <Nevimus> With ubuntu for Android.. Is it firmware or app?
[16:36] <Arthur> Thanks.
[16:36] <Chipzzz> Canadian1296: gotta tell ya... it's pretty amazing that you can type fast enough on that ipod to keep up!
[16:37] <mbutubuntu> Chipzzz, but it starts plymouth even with no-graphic boot
[16:37] <Canadian1296> zykotick9: And more confusing if he doesn't know what he's looking for...
[16:37] <LuXor>  Hi, im new to ubuntu and i have a network connection problem with the Ubuntu Software Ceter. I'm using my university proxy server in order to connect to internet, i can connect with any problem minus the Ubuntu Software ceneter, so i cannot install any program using it
[16:37] <ssta> daviddoria: okay.  If it were me, I'd install the latest Ubuntu in a VM and install your TeX on that...but it's not for the fainthearted...
[16:37] <Canadian1296> Chipzzz: I'm up to like 40 WPM :P
[16:38] <undeclaredx> heh
[16:38] <Chipzzz> Canadian1296: hats off 2 u!
[16:38] <ch33z> In the DNS client configuration I already have by default when setting up so do i leave as is cuz it says in the config to use the dns servers but the isp already put them there. paste.ubuntu.com/856699
[16:38] <Arthur> zykotick9:Seems that guys there are all AFK....
[16:39] <Canadian1296> Chipzzz: I would use my computer but I just woke up, and I'm far to lazy to get out of bed...
[16:39] <BluesKaj> LuXor,  try sudo apt-get install packagename in the terminal ...does that work ?
[16:39] <ch33z> yea
[16:39] <Chipzzz> mbutubuntu: i don't know of a way to avoid it, then... sorry... maybe someone else :-)
[16:40] <Nevimus> I <3 ubuntu but With ubuntu for Android.. Is it firmware or app?
[16:40] <Chipzzz> Canadian1296: lol
[16:40] <Canadian1296> Nevimus: #ubuntu-phone
[16:40] <Nevimus> Thx
[16:40] <TUX11> wheres the defauly directory where cloned the repositorys go
[16:40] <TUX11> default
[16:40] <riad_shourov> can i have only a window manager in .xinitrc file (without gdm or similar) ?
[16:41] <blackshirt> Riad,yes
[16:41] <BluesKaj> ch33z,  you don't need to use the ISP default dns , you can use other dns server like opendns or verizon etc , if you have that option in your router dns settings
[16:41] <ch33z> yea
[16:42] <ch33z> well, then what do i use?
[16:42] <ch33z> I have static ips as well.
[16:42] <ubuntu-guy> lol i removed lightdm blindly to get startx working ... sucks!!!
[16:42] <riad_shourov> blackshirt: but startx command doesn't seem to work
[16:42] <ch33z> BlueKaj  also would it matter because the object I am trying to accomplish is setting up 3 websites to host basic html websites
[16:43] <BluesKaj> ch33z,  or even google dns
[16:43] <ubuntu-guy> riad_shourov, you are also trying to work with "startx" command?
[16:43] <Canadian1296> ch33z: Try freedns.afraid.org
[16:43] <Chipzzz> hey ch33z, how ya doin' today?
[16:43] <ch33z> doing alright Chipzzz
[16:43] <riad_shourov> ubuntu-guy: ya :)
[16:43] <ch33z> doing the config slowllly this time
[16:43] <ch33z> instead of rushing ha
[16:43] <ubuntu-guy> riad_shourov, me too... you 11.10 ?
[16:43] <Chipzzz> lol... slow but sure always wins the race :-)
[16:43] <ch33z> indeed
[16:43] <riad_shourov> ubuntu-guy: ya
[16:44] <riad_shourov> ubuntu-guy: i am now in console
[16:44] <ubuntu-guy> i see
[16:44] <ch33z> so really I shouldnt use the DNS servers from the ISP?
[16:44] <Chipzzz> ch33z: for the time being, they're fine
[16:44] <ubuntu-guy> riad_shourov, Can you get working "startx" command ?
[16:44] <popey> ubuntu-guy: you could just disable lightdm
[16:44] <popey> ubuntu-guy: but leave it installed
[16:44] <ch33z> hm alright ill keep as is
[16:45] <ch33z> If you have multiple domains you wish to search, your configuration might look like the following.
[16:45] <ch33z> search example.com sales.example.com dev.example.com
[16:45] <Ast001> I just tried to install ubuntu on my new Gigabyte Z68P-DS3 motherboard and after reboot it hangs with annoying black screen. It did not show grub boot loader at all... How can I fix this problem ?
[16:45] <ch33z> any idea?
[16:45] <ch33z> Chipzzz
[16:45] <zykotick9> !nomodeset | Ast001 start here
[16:45] <riad_shourov> ubuntu-guy: problem is ... i haven't any login manager.... i only have a small window manager (ratpoison) ..no gdm or lightdm
[16:45] <TUX11> check the disc first Ast001
[16:45] <BluesKaj> ch33z,  well it's not necessary , but if your ISP has provided you with a static IP then it
[16:45] <ch33z> so I guess I have to add custom domains? ;0
[16:45] <ubuntu-guy> popey, I removed it already(Perhaps ubuntu-desktop also removed)... Now ubuntu not starting
[16:46] <ubuntu-guy> riad_shourov, i see ... same here
[16:46] <popey> ubuntu-guy: that was unwise ☺
[16:46] <BluesKaj> ch33z,  well it's not necessary , but if your ISP has provided you with a static IP then it's probly best to leave the dns settings as they are.
[16:46] <ch33z> thanks BlueKaj
[16:46] <popey> ubuntu-guy: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^    will put it back
[16:46] <ch33z> as I read on the next part though since I am hosting numerous sites with 1 -2 ips
[16:46] <ubuntu-guy> popey, Perhaps recovery mode?
[16:46] <popey> ubuntu-guy: yup
[16:47] <ch33z> If you have multiple domains you wish to search, your configuration might look like the following.
[16:47] <ch33z> search example.com sales.example.com dev.example.com
[16:47] <ch33z> BlueKaj like this step here
[16:47] <ch33z> I dont get it.
[16:47] <FloodBot1> ch33z: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:47] <riad_shourov> popey: i don't have any login manager...is it a problem in running startx??
[16:47] <Chipzzz> ch33z: is that in the section about virtual hosts?
[16:47] <popey> riad_shourov: no, the problem is having ubuntu-desktop missing, it generally breaks upgrades and new package installs
[16:47] <ch33z> nope i dont think so chipzzz
[16:48] <ch33z> network config chipzzz
[16:48] <Chipzzz> ch33z: ah... they're probably talking about setting up the directories for sub-domains
[16:48] <ch33z> ah i see now
[16:49] <ch33z> wouldnt that section be under the DNS section tho ? ;0
[16:49] <Patrunjel> Hi everyone. I have problems with wubi (it sais it couldn't find a riit partiion and that I should go back to the partition manager, but there is no partition manager...) Can somone please help me out?
[16:49]  * w1jp me
[16:49] <Chipzzz> ch33z: no, it's a matter for the http server configuration to deal with
[16:49] <riad_shourov> popey: so, do you mean .. i have to install the whole ubuntu desktop with gnome?? :O
[16:50] <Canadian1296> Patrunjel: The partition manager is most likely gparted, and what exactly are you trying to do?
[16:50] <Ast001> ok thanks
[16:50] <ch33z> ah
[16:50] <popey> riad_shourov: i mean exactly what I said, if you're misisng the ubuntu-desktop metapackage then it's likely upgrades break
[16:50] <Chipzzz> ch33z: the DNS server only concerns itself with the TLD
[16:50] <ch33z> ah
[16:50] <ch33z> damn
[16:51] <riad_shourov> popey: but i am not doing any upgrades
[16:51] <ubuntu-guy> popey, Now my network is not connected ... I tried /etc/init.d/networking start but no connection
[16:51] <ch33z> chipzzz check your privates
[16:51] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: the "upgrade/update" issue is when you go from say 11.10 to 12.04 type thing.  Regular system upgdate will be fine without ubuntu-desktop.
[16:51] <Chipzzz> (at this stage)
[16:51] <Patrunjel> Canadian1296, I wanna get ubuntu to boot so that I can format a flash drive (that was formatted in ext2), because I have tried installing Ubuntu 10.10, and the latest one (made the pendrive bootable with Universal USB installer), and I always get
[16:52] <Patrunjel> Canadian1296, I always get boot error *
[16:52] <riad_shourov> zykotick9: ok ... it is not my problem then :) .. but can a system works fine with gdm or lighdm like apps?
[16:53] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: without?
[16:53] <riad_shourov> zykotick9: sorry ..without gdm
[16:53] <Canadian1296> Patrunjel: I've never used Universal USB installer. Try unetbootin, since I know it works.
[16:53] <BluesKaj> ubuntu-guy, run this in the terminal, sudo ifconfig wlan0 up , then , sudo iwlist wlan0 scan|grep -i essid
[16:53] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: sure!  my netbook is without gdm/lightdm - WARNING: network-manager might have issues!!!
[16:53] <gr33n7007h> Patrunjel, format flash drive to FAT32
[16:54] <BluesKaj> ubuntu-guy,  asuming your wlan = 0
[16:54] <Patrunjel> Canadian1296, thanks for the tip. I will try it in a moment (I'm trying to get puppy on the pendrive now, to see if the problem is only for Ubuntu)
[16:54] <Canadian1296> Patrunjel: I know unetbootin works with ubuntu, and it claims to work with lots of other linux distro's too.
[16:55] <gr33n7007h> can't go wrong with Unetbootin lol
[16:55] <riad_shourov> zykotick9: i have network-manager-cli... i am even in console now...but i cannot run startx ( i have only 'exec ratpoison &' in my .xinitrc file)
[16:55] <bazhong> Sup bazhang
[16:55] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: the n-m issues will affect n-m-cli as well :(
[16:55] <Guest21585> my yakuake seems to be frozen.. is there a way to reset it?
[16:55] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: n-m requires a DM to use wireless!
[16:55] <radioact1ve> any tips on why my ntfs hd all of the sudden is read-only? I've been using it no problem since installation.
[16:55] <ubuntu-guy> BluesKaj, did it by "netroot"
[16:56] <ubuntu-guy> popey, how can i disable lightdm?
[16:56] <damo22> radioact1ve, if it wasnt unmounted cleanly, the filesystem might be dirty and wont mount rw
[16:56] <damo22> radioact1ve, you might need to run fsck.ntfs on it
[16:57] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: i rely on wicd-curses (and wicd is probably going to be depricated soon i hear)
[16:57] <radioact1ve> damo22: interesting, how could that have happened?
[16:57] <riad_shourov> zykotick9: you mean...if i run x without dm , my network will not work?? otherwise... i dont have any dm ..but my network is on
[16:57] <damo22> radioact1ve, usually by unplugging a usb drive without unmounting
[16:58] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: yes.  try it but it's a bug that's not easily resolved (it comes from ubuntu's upstream)
[16:58] <radioact1ve> damo22, its an internal hdd.
[16:58] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: wireless only.  n-m can still to wired stuff!
[16:58] <damo22> radioact1ve, in that case it didnt unmount properly last shutdown
[16:59] <radioact1ve> damo22, could it have been something I did or some random act?
[16:59] <ubuntu-guy> riad_shourov, How far?
[16:59] <BluesKaj> ubuntu-guy,  netroot ? ...never heard of that approach
[16:59] <damo22> radioact1ve, usually human error
[17:00] <riad_shourov> zykotick9: i have wimax..what should i put into? i didnt get it out of the box..when i installed ubuntu..now my network in eth1 ( its probably wired, i think??)
[17:00] <ubuntu-guy> BluesKaj, It has in Recovery mode which start with networking
[17:00] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: that, i have no idea about :|
[17:00] <erebus_> Hi guys. I have just recovered my damaged partition table with testdisk, but the swap partitions are not loaded succesfully. Is it safe to
[17:00] <erebus_> delete and re create them?
[17:01] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: does it require a login username and password to use?
[17:01] <riad_shourov> ubuntu-guy: stuck yet :) .. but i don't have any problem with console :P
[17:01] <riad_shourov> zykotick9: no
[17:01] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: it will probably be ok with N-M then!
[17:02] <ubuntu-guy> riad_shourov, PM?
[17:02] <riad_shourov> zykotick9: sorry..actually yes...but its in a script file ..which i run from terminal
[17:03] <Canadian1296> What does the DNS server option do when installing ubuntu server?
[17:04] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: ;) sorry, not sure again.  Try N-M for sure!  But if it looks like it's working - but can't connect... you might know why.  Best of luck man!  If you're into terminal stuff, I hope you use screen (it's got thousands of amazing features)
[17:04] <raido> Canadian1296: I assume it installs Bind
[17:04] <VIPER-II> hi guys
[17:04] <riad_shourov> ubuntu-guy: well... i am in irssi chat..this is the first time i am using it... you can try, but i dunno how pm works here :)
[17:04] <escott> Canadian1296, is it asking you if you want to install a DNS server or what your DNS server is?
[17:04] <VIPER-II> What's that command again to force ubuntu to always start in a certain resolution? I remember i had to create a file or so?
[17:05] <gr33n7007h> sapppppppnin
[17:05] <ubuntu-guy> riad_shourov, I mean Private Message
[17:05] <zykotick9> VIPER-II: what graphics card?
[17:05] <VIPER-II> ati
[17:05] <ironhalik> Is there a way to try Unity2D via live CD?
[17:05] <Canadian1296> raido: Which does? I know what a DNS server is, I just don't see how it would work to be your own DNS server...
[17:05] <riad_shourov> zykotick9: yeah. :D not in screen ..but i am in tmux
[17:05] <escott> erebus_, swap partitions have no data so you can recreate them or just run mkswap on the partition
[17:05] <Canadian1296> escott: No, its to install a DNS server, I've just never used it.
[17:05] <ksus-lptp> !help
[17:06] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: i haven't played with tmux (i should give it a try)
[17:06] <raido> Canadian1296: if you dont see how it will benefit you when your installing "server" version, then it wont, so dont check it.
[17:06] <ksus-lptp> can sum1 provide ubuntu help page again
[17:06] <escott> Canadian1296, if the machine were a router then it being a DNS server would be sensible
[17:06] <ksus-lptp> im on my notbook now
[17:06] <ksus-lptp> this is awesome
[17:06] <riad_shourov> ubuntu-guy: its good... i can run video in tmux in console (yeay!!)
[17:06] <erebus_> escott yeah i know but I have 4boot laptop (2 ubuntu, debian, windows) and the labels are changed after the testdisk
[17:06] <Canadian1296> escott: Oh, okay that makes more sense. Thanks :)
[17:07] <riad_shourov> ubuntu-guy: yes...pm plz... lets see how it works in irssi
[17:07] <erebus_> escott, so the labels of /dev/sda* are changed. What I must do? In /etc/fstab are the old names
[17:07] <erebus_> So I have 3 ext partitions, one windows, one recovery and 3 swaps:P
[17:07] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: video in console?  do you know if it's using framebuffer or vga?  real question, does it require sudo to run?
[17:07] <escott> erebus_, you may have to clean up a few things to make the uuids of the swap partitions match up between the three linux systems. sudo blkid will give you the new uuids
[17:07] <athena> hi, I just installed ubuntu (11.10) and I ubuntu refuse to use my .xsessions file. How can I force it to use my file ?
[17:08] <escott> erebus_, why do you have three swaps? unless you want to be able to hibernate each of the three oses independently there is no use
[17:08] <shanky_1> hello ppl :D
[17:08] <GatorAlli> Hello, I am using Ubuntu 11.10 - amd64. I have noticed that after I suspend my laptop and wake if back up, the fan starts being noisy. It never stops. Works fine after the boot. Why is that?
[17:08] <erebus_> escott, yeah I have already got the new uids, but I dont know which swap partitions is for each distro. Is that a prob?
[17:08] <riad_shourov> zykotick9: when i first installed ubuntu-cli 11.10, i didnt have xorg then, so i tried with vga
[17:08] <erebus_> escott, exactly in order to hibernate :-)
[17:09] <erebus_> escott, I dont know which swap is for the distros. In system monitor it says 0 used and 0 size of the swap. (free -m too)
[17:09] <shanky_1> quit
[17:09] <ironhalik> btw, ubuntu could use a dynamic hibernation file, instead of using swap area
[17:09] <escott> erebus_, i would just reassign them in some order (any order will do) and you may need to update-initramfs afterwards on each system
[17:09] <ironhalik> its insane I need a 5 gig swap area on my ssd
[17:09] <erebus_> hmmm so escott there is no need to recreate them?
[17:10] <erebus_> I have updated the each /etc/fstab with no luck. so I must update the initramfs kernel?
[17:10] <escott> erebus_, so it sounds like the thing to do is run mkswap on each partition, and then pick some assignment of swap to os, and update each fstab, and run update-initramfs on each system in turn
[17:10] <Canadian1296> Ill be back later
[17:10] <chipotle> is it possible to move a ubuntu install to another drive and erase the old drive?
[17:11] <erebus_> escott thanks! Is there any problem with grub or it's only about each distro itself. Cause grub is in the ubuntu
[17:11] <riad_shourov> zykotick9: i add my username in video group.. so it doesn't require sudo now
[17:11] <escott> erebus_, to get the suspend to work you would need the update-initramfs. but if they are in fstab they should be swapped on unless they don't look correct (like mkswap hasn't been run)
[17:12] <bastidrazor>  /w 3
[17:12] <bastidrazor> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq  has some good information on swap
[17:12] <erebus_> escott, yes there are not reqognised. In debian dmesg it says that swap cant be loaded. So I must run mkswap in each system and I will see. Thanks for your help
[17:12] <radioact1ve> damo22, sorry to bother. trying thanks for your help. reading up further i should be doing this from win7. cant risk losing anything!!
[17:12] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: besides irssi do you use any cool terminal programs besides (mutt,elinks,mplayer,moc,mcabber,irssi-plugin-xmpp,wget,rsync,identicurse,abook,htop,iotop,slurm,bmon)?
[17:14] <chipotle> is it possible to move a ubuntu install to another drive and erase the old drive? or at the very least, partition the drive ubuntu is installed on down from 3TB to 100GB?
[17:15] <chipotle> when i format an extra drive, i shouldn't select scheme: master boot record, right? that's only if i'm going to use this drive as the boot drive?
[17:15] <chipotle> i want to select guid?
[17:15] <riad_shourov> zykotick9: w3m-img, links2( also with links2 -g), only mplayer( i dont have any other media player), wget, fbi,fbgs, vim, antiword, rtorrent, htop,cbm,surfraw, gpm, youtube-dl, get-flash-videos
[17:16] <damo22> chipotle, master boot record format is nothing to do with being the boot drive
[17:16] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: thanks - i forgot abcde for cd ripping in my list ;)
[17:16] <MonkeyDust> chipotle  http://paste.ubuntu.com/856755/
[17:16] <BluesKaj> chipotle,  yes , you can resize the ubuntu partition to any size you wish as long as / and your home dir fit on it
[17:17] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: can i ask what de/wm you use?

[17:18] <riad_shourov> zykotick9: well...you see. i cant run x yet.. but i like ratpoison window manager
[17:18] <escott> chipotle, boot the livecd and use gparted to shrink the ubuntu partition. take backups of critical data first
[17:18] <GatorAlli> Hello, I am using Ubuntu 11.10 - amd64. I have noticed that after I suspend my laptop and wake if back up, the fan starts being noisy. It never stops. Works fine after the boot. Why is that?
[17:19] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: :) ratpoison - mouse killer!  i recently got into awesome and now love it.
[17:19] <riad_shourov> zykotick9: isn't awesome another tiling wm?
[17:19] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: tiling or not - very customizable

[17:21] <ignoredthoughts> I'm having an issue where I log on and it pauses at the Lubuntu logo loading screen saying Searching for Network Configuration.  When it finally loads my NetworkManager doesn't register my wireless network card nor will it let me activate it.  I was having issues earlier where I couldn't use NetworkManager and a suggestion online that fixed it had me go into the .conf file and alter a value to to True.  Once I did that network ma
[17:21] <ignoredthoughts> nager seems to work however it hangs up where I just previously mentioned.  I'll let it reboot and the problem shows it's head but never reaches the "Waiting for 60 Seconds" and when it boots everything works.  Will a simple uninstall and reinstallation of NetworkManager work?
[17:21] <zykotick9> viktor133: #debian's irssi factoids starts "methinks irssi is the best <IRC> client ever"
[17:21] <ironhalik> Is there a way to try Unity2D via live CD?
[17:23] <ignoredthoughts> or is there a better NetworkManager other than NetworkManager?
[17:23] <riad_shourov> zykotick9: hw do you change rc file for awesome? is it in any programming lang or just simple scripting??
[17:23] <zykotick9> ignoredthoughts: no.  but alternative is wicd.
[17:24] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: it's some weird programing language actually - hard to work with!
[17:24] <theadmin> weird? lua isn't weird...
[17:25] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: lua something - but the config is ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua

[17:31] <escott> chipotle, transfer what?
[17:31] <ignoredthoughts> hrm...  is there any reason Lubuntu wouldn't be able to see my NetworkManager.conf right away or on the first boot try?
[17:31] <ignoredthoughts> or has anyone else ran into this?
[17:31] <chipotle> escott: i want to transfer my ubuntu drive to another, smaller drive
[17:31] <zykotick9> riad_shourov: the "core" stuff is often the most effective ;)  can i PM you an OT question?
[17:31] <chipotle> i couldn't do it before when i installed ubuntu because i had data on it
[17:31] <escott> chipotle, ok you are switching drives not just shrinking the partition
[17:32] <riad_shourov> zykotick9: ok
[17:32] <Admin_User> I was wondering if there was a way that you can play World of Warcraft on ubuntu and if so is the perfomaance good and how can you do it please Ubuntu commity
[17:32] <escott> chipotle, there are ways to do it, but it might be easier to just reinstall see !clone
[17:32] <Gentoo64> Admin_User, wine
[17:32] <raido> chipotle: Clonezilla.
[17:32] <brimlar> Admin_User:  try this link, there are a lot out there: http://www.azsoftwaredownload.com/linux/install-worldofwarcraft-ubuntu-1110
[17:32] <chipotle> what's clonezilla?
[17:33] <raido> chipotle: http://clonezilla.org/
[17:33] <Admin_User> Gentoo64 : Some Application dont work on Wine get your resorce right man

[17:34] <acidrain> what is the nogroup group?
[17:34] <LjL> Admin_User: WoW runs in WINE, so i don't see what you're complaining about
[17:34] <LjL> !appdb > Admin_User
[17:34] <acidrain> does that mean that that user actually has no group? or is it a group?
[17:34] <escott> acidrain, its the analog of nobody. its meant to be a minimal privilege group
[17:35] <acidrain> 10-4
[17:35] <acidrain> thx
[17:35] <Admin_User> LjL: if it does work some of the appication dont go by okay and if so how is the performance man.
[17:35] <mosno> afaik, nobody isn't supposed to own any files
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> mosno: users will own the files in $HOME
[17:35] <Gentoo64> raido, i didnt know it could resotre to a smaller drive...
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> mosno: or do you mean the user 'nobody'?
[17:36] <Gentoo64> raido, i thought only bigger or same size
[17:36] <escott> ActionParsnip, but nobody isn't supposed to have a $HOME
[17:36] <LjL> Admin_User: it certainly won't work perfect, if you're into games a lot i'd suggest sticking to Windows.
[17:36] <Admin_User> Gentoo64: Am sorry do you hate me:( I dont want to enimies in this room
[17:36] <raido> chipotle: when going to a smaller drive make sure to use the "partition" cloning option, not the whole disk
[17:36] <ActionParsnip> escott: gotcha, let me check. Curious now
[17:36] <Gentoo64> Admin_User, no dont be silly
[17:36] <escott> ActionParsnip, its all from acidrain's question regarding nogroup. not sure where he is seeing it though
[17:36] <raido> Gentoo64: yes, when going to a smaller drive make sure to use the "partition" cloning option, not the whole disk
[17:37] <Guest60457> hello
[17:37] <Gentoo64> raido, ofc but if its an entire disk it wont work
[17:37] <acidrain> right, nobody has a home
[17:37] <acidrain> lol
[17:37] <raido> Gentoo64: right

[17:37] <bobo37773> Admin_User: There is only one way to test performance for your machine. You should follow the links provived for you and install it. Then you'll know.
[17:38] <LjL> !de | christ828
[17:38] <acidrain> escott: i ended up not even using nobody and nogroup. created my own group
[17:38] <elhoir> any idea?
[17:38] <escott> acidrain, nobody's home should be /nonexistent which is aptly named as the folder is nonexistent
[17:38] <Admin_User> LjL: that what I was saying if it would work on WIne it probley have a lagg or something with it something that would be wrong with it I was not saying that people were wrong if they use it on wine go right ahead it pritty cool that some aplication can work.
[17:38] <raido> escott: clonezilla will clone the MBR and he wont need to mod the fstab, Ive done it. Its painless
[17:39] <Aitor> thank you, with pidgin no problem to configure my msn, gtalk and facebook chats. Is it posible to add Badoo chat to it?
[17:39] <escott> raido, ok ive never used it. does it know enough about gpt to do that correctly. i think he as a bios booting gpt

[17:41] <calamari> hi. does anyone know of a guide for getting JACK working alongside PulseAudio on 11.10 that isn't for Ubuntu Studio?
[17:41] <Admin_User> lol
[17:41] <escott> raido, but he doesn't have an mbr. and his boot loader is not located in the mbr its located in a grub_bios partition (unless he has an efi system which is unlikely)
[17:42] <escott> chipotle, you have gpt disk because its over 3TB correct? is it efi boot or bios boot?
[17:42] <raido> escott: Dude, its a CLONE!
[17:42] <Guest72257> ciao

[17:44] <ActionParsnip> wolfmitchell: do you mean a PXE server?
[17:44] <FloodBot1> Admin_User: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:44] <escott> ActionParsnip, thats expected it nobody/nogroup shouldn't own any files. its just a placeholder to give things like ftp a uid to change into with minimal privs inside a chroot
[17:44] <Admin_User> sorry
[17:44] <wolfmitchell> Idk, but I want to install Ubuntu onto the network so that anyone can access it. Do I need one to do that?
[17:44] <ActionParsnip> escott: just reinforcing ;)

[17:45] <ActionParsnip> wolfmitchell: access in what way?
[17:45] <wolfmitchell> Booting into it via lan
[17:45] <Blues-Man> according to this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization a new package should put in pool/extras/ but my question is: if the package has no architecture dependencies (Architecture: all) have I to put it in both binary-t396 and binary-amd64?
[17:45] <ActionParsnip> wolfmitchell: yes, thats a PXE server
[17:45] <Aitor> is posible to add Badoo chat to pidgin or empathy?
[17:45] <wolfmitchell> Do the other people in the network need PXE
[17:45] <MonkeyDust> Aitor  wrong channel
[17:45] <wolfmitchell> ?
[17:46] <LjL> MonkeyDust: why?
[17:46] <Aitor> monkeydust: but empathy is built in ubuntu software, it is a ubuntu question if i want to chat in badoo with my ubuntu? isnt?
[17:46] <escott> raido, i understand clonezilla works for you on a standard bios/mbr partitioned system. i don't think you know enough about gpt to be able to say if clonezilla will properly clone a bios/gpt system. At least nothing you have said gives me any confidence you know what the differences are, and if you don't you are likely walking chipotle down a path where he will have a nonbooting system
[17:46] <ActionParsnip> wolfmitchell: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto
[17:46] <Admin_User> doc-saintly: I can see the personall stuff but what ever if we are going to be friends on here why cant we get to know each other and this is past on ubuntu okay I have seen people play games and like it and just dont say that this stuff that am not talking about is not about ubuntu we are family
[17:47] <doc-saintly> Admin_User: lay off the sauce
[17:47] <doc-saintly> and - there's this thing called punctuation and complete sentences.
[17:47] <bobo37773> Admin_User: Usually when people want to talk about such things here they just pm each other.
[17:47] <bobo37773> Admin_User: That way the room stays open for people who may need support.
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> wolfmitchell: yes, the OS will boot off the PXE server. The system can be completely diskless
[17:48] <bastidrazor> Admin_User: there is a channel just for chat. #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:48] <Admin_User> Doc-Saintly: bob37773: Stop it your killing me man I was joking man I cant stop laughing.
[17:48] <Admin_User> sorry guys
[17:48] <VIPER-II> Guys, I know there is a setting to force Ubuntu to always start at 1920-resolution. Can't remember how to do it, but it had to do with putting 1 command into the 'Start-options'. I have a ATI card
[17:48] <bobo37773> Admin_User: Oh okay
[17:48] <wolfmitchell> I need it to still be able to boot the regular OS (eg. Windows) but have ubuntu running over the network.
[17:49] <MonkeyDust> Aitor  i thought you were asking how to chat on Badoo
[17:49] <bobo37773> VIPER-II: Maybe an xrandr command?
[17:49] <VIPER-II> ah yeah
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> Admin_User: seems to just need java..
[17:49] <Admin_User> bobo37773: If you want to change you ip address in a database and use thouse to calilate what you been doing on the web can you do that or something or am I talking about something else
[17:50] <VIPER-II> was it: xrandr 1920x1080  ?
[17:50] <Aitor> monkeydust: np, by the way, do u know if is posible to chat in badoo trought empathy or pidgin?
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> wolfmitchell: then have a virtualbox booting PXE, or you can just reboot and tell the system to boot PXE instead of the internal storage
[17:50] <Admin_User> ActionParsnip: lol I just had some coffie lol I get crazy some times sorry about that
[17:50] <bobo37773> VIPER-II: xrandr -s 1920x1080
[17:50] <wolfmitchell> Eg. access boot menu and select "LAN"?
[17:51] <Admin_User> bobo37773: If you want to change you ip address in a database and use thouse to calilate what you been doing on the web can you do that or something or am I talking about something else
[17:51] <VIPER-II> ah
[17:51] <zgr> what is fastest (not secure!)  way to copy one big file over LAN?
[17:51] <bobo37773> Admin_User: What are you talking about? Which database? You may be thinking of using a proxy server
[17:51] <bastidrazor> zgr: scp
[17:51] <zykotick9> zgr: samba / nfs would be faster the ssh/scp
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> wolfmitchell: yeah, it will hit the pxe server and boot to the liveCD
[17:52] <elhoir> may anyone help me please?
[17:52] <woldhekkie> zgr: i use dukto 5, start on both pc`s and drop files on it. Also works between linux and windows. Easyast adn fastest way...
[17:52] <Admin_User> bobo37773: but is it possible to use such a program. to have a history what you been doing on the internet and find which Ip address whent to that site.
[17:52] <bobo37773> elhoir: whats goiing on?
[17:52] <wolfmitchell> Ok, but I don't want the live CD
[17:52] <bastidrazor> zykotick9: really? i would think scp would be just as fast as the network would allow
[17:52] <raido> escott: Interesting comment from someone who admits never using it. Nevertheless, The process of cloning will not modify the source drive, He has nothing to loose by trying it.
[17:53] <bobo37773> Admin_User: You mean like on a lan?
[17:53] <elhoir> bobo37773: i cant search / run any app using the unity start launcher
[17:53] <bobo37773> elhoir: Oh. Sorry I don't use unity
[17:53] <elhoir> :(
[17:53] <wolfmitchell> I want it to boot a fully-installed OS
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> wolfmitchell: you'll need to search that out then but you can PXE boot as long as your BIOS supports it
[17:54] <zykotick9> bastidrazor: i don't get the "greatest" performance from scp copying on my network?  ymmv?
[17:54] <wolfmitchell> Can I do that with an existing ubuntu install?
[17:54] <Admin_User> bobo37773: mabey I guest but you know in school when someone goes on a site and that perison or if they find something on there history that they dont want it on there system or something they check which last IP address whent to that site and shut them down is I heard of such a tool I just cant find something just what am talking about.
[17:54] <xubuntu5> hey
[17:54] <bobo37773> elhoir: Did you try updating your system?
[17:54] <woldhekkie> Fastest copy between 2 computers : http://www.msec.it/blog/?p=444
[17:55] <elhoir> bobo37773: its fully updated
[17:55] <VIPER-II> bobo37773: I love you man. The resolution worked.   Ubuntu FTW!!!   :)
[17:55] <bobo37773> Admin_User: Oh I see. Local history setttings in your dns cache / web browser?
[17:55] <bobo37773> VIPER-II: Cool. Glad it helped
[17:56] <bastidrazor> zykotick9: i normally have to limit the speed with scp. it takes all my bandwidth.
[17:57] <zgr> zykotick9: thanks, I first tried rsync over ssh, and then saw article on lwn which says that cp is much faster (except delta transfers), just thought is there way to just cat file through lan to another pc without ssh? :)
[17:57] <damo22> zgr nc
[17:57] <Admin_User> Oh I have a Q? for you guys you know it will be so easy if there was a tool that you can use for remote access on a monitor only for remote access or something like that that would have like a ethernet cable and usb ports and sound and and just the stuff that you sould have not like mother board or anthing like that not a computer just a tool that u can use to access remote access and use that for your computer.
[17:57] <bobo37773> elhoir: all I can reccomend is maybe reinstalling / reconfiguring unity with yoru package manager. Other then that I dont know
[17:58] <elhoir> bobo37773: for reconfiguring unity... "unity --reset" maybe?
[17:58] <zgr> damo22: thanks!
[17:58] <Admin_User> bobo37773: Yes that what am looking for thank you
[17:58] <Admin_User> Oh I have a Q? for you guys you know it will be so easy if there was a tool that you can use for remote access on a monitor only for remote access or something like that that would have like a ethernet cable and usb ports and sound and and just the stuff that you sould have not like mother board or anthing like that not a computer just a tool that u can use to access remote access and use that for your computer.
[17:58] <elhoir> or better "dpkg-reconfigure unity" ?
[17:58] <bobo37773> Admin_User: There are plenty of tools like that. What are you trying to do exactly?
[17:59] <bobo37773> elhoir: Yeah thats what I was thinking dpkg
[17:59] <elhoir> OK, IM GONNA DO IT RIGHT NOW
[17:59] <elhoir> lets see what happens
[17:59] <bobo37773> elhoir: Good luck. Hope it works
[18:00] <bobo37773> elhoir: You may need to reboot after.
[18:00] <VIPER-II> anyone in here uses SICKBEARD?
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> Admin_User: you could use x forwarding to a central server and users can run apps on the server and they will show on the client, not sound though
[18:00] <elhoir> bobo37773: actually, i have to reboot right now, since i cannot even open a terminal :)
[18:00] <Admin_User> bobo37773: Just use a Operating system or soemthing but not all the application only remote access to access different computer is there a iso or something that I can just use for my computer
[18:00] <bobo37773> elhoir: just switch to a tty
[18:00] <elhoir> oh, true
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> Admin_User: you could make a multiseat PC if you want too http://www2.userful.com/products/userful-multiseat-linux  something like that
[18:01] <elhoir> ok, im back right now :)
[18:01] <wolfmitchell> AP-Can I set up a LiveCD to connect to an X server on the host computer instead of booting into lan?
[18:01] <bobo37773> Admin_User: Its not as simple as you may think if you are indeed talking about what I think you are.
[18:02] <bobo37773> elhoir: that quick?
[18:02] <Aitor> hello, trying to install restricted extras trought ubuntu software center gives me the advice to uninstall first two packages: libav codec and utility library; but i cannot find those packages to uninstall trought the same software center
[18:02] <VIPER-II> hmm... guess not.
[18:03] <elhoir> bobo37773: no, i meant, "im back in a while, in a very whort period of time" :)
[18:03] <bobo37773> VIPER-II: Yeah never heard of it
[18:03] <bobo37773> elhoir: Oh I see.  It's basically a graphics glitch, in addition there's a lot of text that is not legible (but this only occurs in certain areas) any ideas?
[18:03] <Aitor> sould i take the advice and unistall those packages (libav) using synaptic before installing the restrictred ubuntu extras?
[18:03] <ActionParsnip> wolfmitchell: I guess
[18:04] <wolfmitchell> Ok
[18:04] <wolfmitchell> I'll try that
[18:04] <Admin_User> ActionParsnip: bobo37773: I guest it really hard to explane see if it was just a box that had a vga,ethernet,usb,sound plugin, that device that only has remote access that you can use and use different virtualization os system that you install on vmware and stuff like that and it would be nice for school or bussiness Deed a create something new if so I think I became a $1,000,000,000 lol just kittting
[18:04] <lotuspsychje> is there a way to password protect programs in ubuntu?
[18:04] <VIPER-II> bobo37773: well ppl who watches series kinda love it, cuz it is capable of searching the latest episode and download em each time that it comes out.
[18:04] <bobo37773> Admin_User: haha.  I do it the old fashioned way hahaha. Not really something to discuss here though
[18:05] <zatan> hi is there anyway that i can run programs on second screen "dual monitors" ?
[18:05] <VIPER-II> yeah sorry.
[18:09] <Admin_User> ActionParsnip: what do you mean About a x forwarding what kind of OS is that what that name of it.
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> zatan: you can use compiz or devilspie, you can use gdevilspie to configure it
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> Admin_User: the x server in linux is very modular, the display for an app can be on a remote system but be processed on the server
[18:10] <BlueWolf> Is there a way to get onto irc.spotchat.org using Empathy to then go to #linuxmint-help?
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: add the server in the client
[18:11] <bobo37773> BlueWolf: empathy? is empathy an irc client?
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> bobo37773: it can connect to irc servers, so yes
[18:11] <bobo37773> ActionParsnip: oh I had no idea
[18:12] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: How would I go about this?
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: not sure, i use pidgin
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: try:    /server irc.spotchat.org
[18:13] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: Where would I enter it in? The chat create a new account?
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: where you are typing now
[18:14] <wolfmitchell> Lol, just bombed a VM to reinstall onto it
[18:14] <Boris_> hello
[18:14] <Boris_> I'm looking for help
[18:15] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: It's coming up with this  -
[18:15] <BlueWolf> Unknown command; see /help for the available commands
[18:15] <BlueWolf>  /server irc.spotchat.org
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: strange  /server is a standard command afaik
[18:15] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: You try it
[18:16] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: Are you useing Empathy or have you used it before?
[18:16] <aaas> what is the ubuntu equivalent of windows 'resource monitor'  (the right window here: http://i41.tinypic.com/2gsep0k.jpg)
[18:16] <aaas> I want to monitor what processes/files are using my drives
[18:17] <Boris_> i cant' log in on my ubuntu session... i can't go further than the log in screen.... i've tried the Xauthority solution but i can't find the file
[18:17] <aaas> not using space, but what is using the speed
[18:17] <monohedron> Boris_, error message?
[18:18] <Boris_> no error message
[18:18] <Pat201> what would i type into the terminal to open an internet browser?
[18:18] <Gentoo64> aaas, iotop
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf:in the  main window:   Edit->Accounts   maybe?
[18:18] <bastidrazor> BlueWolf: in empathy you have to add another account and manually add spotchat.
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> Pat201: which browser do you use?
[18:18] <aaas> Gentoo64 thanks
[18:19] <Pat201> SRWare Iron
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> Pat201: how did you install it?
[18:19] <BlueWolf>
[18:19] <BlueWolf> bastidrazor: ActionParsnip: Ok I will give it a try and get back to you.
[18:19] <bastidrazor> BlueWolf: i just did it yesterday. just to know how.
[18:20] <monohedron> what app caan unpack mzp files, i can't find anything in the software centre
[18:20] <gr33n7007h> any 1 on xchat??
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> Pat201: try:   iron    if you used the deb
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> monohedron: install unp, may be able to do it
[18:20] <Pat201> hold on will try
[18:20] <monohedron> ActionParsnip, will try thanks
[18:21] <Chipzzz> ch33z: still here?
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> monohedron: http://www.winarchiver.com/tutorials/mzp-file.htm   looks like some winarchiver thing
[18:21] <Pat201> hmm that didnt work. and as for install i just downloaded the iron executable
[18:21] <Boris_> monohedron: is there a command line to seach for files on the hard drive? maybeee is the Xauthority file in an other location
[18:21] <BlueWolf> bastidrazor: Ok adding it manually - in the network do I just put spotchat or irc.spotchat.org?
[18:22] <aaas> my drive on the ubuntu server will take 16 hours to copy over 62 gb (been runing for 10 hours probably)--that doesn't seem right does it--whats the best way to find out if its the read drive, the copy drive, the network or other?  I guess when the copy is done I should run a chkdisk on the drive?
[18:22] <bastidrazor> BlueWolf: in the network put irc.spotchat.org and you do not need to change the port number
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> Pat201: i'd use the deb from the site
[18:22] <rasha666> how can i install Ubuntu TV?
[18:22] <monohedron> ActionParsnip, nope not working any other suggestion?
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> rasha666: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/01/how-to-install-ubuntu-tv-right-now-via-ppa/
[18:23] <monohedron> Boris_, yes
[18:23] <rasha666> thanks :)
[18:23] <monohedron> boris use findfind
[18:23] <monohedron> hmm
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> monohedron: you may need a win app to extract it
[18:23] <monohedron> fin
[18:23] <monohedron> find
[18:23] <FloodBot1> monohedron: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:24] <monohedron> Boris_, wat is the output of ls -l /
[18:24] <Boris_> like "findfind Xauthority" ?
[18:24] <monohedron> no find / -name ICEauthority
[18:25] <acidrain> does anyone have any idea where i can get the old shoutcast server and transcoder that just simply works?
[18:25] <monohedron> ActionParsnip, i was afraid you'd say that
[18:25] <BlueWolf> bastidrazor: And what about the Character Set and the severs thing underneath?
[18:26] <bastidrazor> BlueWolf: leave it to the default that it was at.
[18:26] <monohedron> well its actually 'find / -name .ICEauthority'
[18:26] <VIPER-II> what's the 'chmod' command to make a directory and it's contents accessible for all other users?    I dont think it "chmod 777".
[18:26] <Earthcore> Hi, I want to know how to set the location (e.g. Berlin) with the command line?
[18:27] <Chipzzz> VIPER-II: chmod 777 /path/to/directory
[18:27] <monohedron> Boris_, well its actually 'find / -name .ICEauthority' it may not find anything without the dot
[18:27] <Guest32447> Hi Ubuntu community
[18:27] <zykotick9> VIPER-II: is this on a FAT/NTFS partition by chance?
[18:27] <bastidrazor> BlueWolf: in Servers you need to add irc.spotchat.org
[18:27] <Earthcore> Guest32447: Hi
[18:28] <VIPER-II> Zykotick9: not this one is normal linux drive.
[18:28] <VIPER-II> Chipzzz: well doesn't 777 make content executable too?
[18:28] <zykotick9> VIPER-II: then 777 is "wide open"
[18:28] <monohedron> Boris_, also show us the output of 'ls -l /|grep home'
[18:28] <Boris_> i've found the file. how can i rename it or delete it?
[18:28] <VIPER-II> wasn't it 776 or 757 or something else?
[18:28] <zykotick9> VIPER-II: for directories it means you can enter tehm
[18:28] <Guest32447> new to ubuntu but so glad i found it
[18:28] <monohedron> Boris_, mv
[18:28] <VIPER-II> uhuh
[18:29] <bpb_grinda> hi. can someone help me with this postfix error:  postfix/postdrop[3711]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/609115.3711: Disk quota exceeded
[18:29] <Earthcore> Hi, I want to know how to set the location (e.g. Berlin) with the command line?
[18:29] <Hector__c> hi, i have an opensuse 11.4 with samba + openldap + LAM + Bacula but my boss is asking me to replace that for an ubuntu server bcs he thinks there all of those services can be managed through a gui
[18:29] <wolfmitchell> What does 'grep' even do? I always see that here.
[18:29] <haylo> that last 7 gives full permission to the world- something you dont  usuallywant VIPER-II
[18:29] <BlueWolf> bastidrazor: Ok done, Now I have two accounts (BlueWolf/Garurumon), BlueWolf is on freenode and Garurumon is on spotchat - how do I access the one for spotchat or get onto it?
[18:29] <Hector__c> do you think is that correct?
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> wolfmitchell: it filters text or searches files
[18:29] <zykotick9> wolfmitchell: grep searches for regular expression
[18:29] <wolfmitchell> Ok
[18:29] <ojii> is there a way to force a nvidia card to run in the lowest performance mode?
[18:29] <Earthcore> Hi, I want to know how to set the location (e.g. Berlin) with the command line?
[18:29] <bpb_grinda> hi. can someone help me with this postfix error:  postfix/postdrop[3711]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/609115.3711: Disk quota exceeded
[18:30] <zykotick9> wolfmitchell: from man grep - print lines matching a pattern
[18:30] <bastidrazor> BlueWolf: Room > Join > Select which account to use > add a room name > Join
[18:30] <wolfmitchell> Ok
[18:30] <Boris_> "drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2012-02-22 23:39 home
[18:30] <Fuchs> bpb_grinda: looks like the disk quota (how much you are allowed to store on it) is either exceeded, the disk is full or there are other reasons (e.g. access rights) which don't let postfix write where it wants to
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> bpb_grinda: do you use disk quotas?
[18:31] <wolfmitchell> Setting up an ubuntu server over lan
[18:31] <monohedron> Boris_, that looks healthy
[18:31] <VIPER-II> Chipzzz: should i do things "recursively" with CHMOD?
[18:31] <bpb_grinda> Fuchs, disk quota is not exceeded - i havent set one neither has my provider. disk is 23% full
[18:32] <Chenwoyoung> hi
[18:32] <bpb_grinda> Fuchs can I pm you ?
[18:32] <GH0> How can I launch a program prior to the login process? I attempted to use /etc/rc.local and it didn't seem to actually launch the program. I am attempting to run x0vncserver so that I can login.
[18:32] <monohedron> Boris_, what about 'ls -l /home/yourusername'
[18:32] <Chipzzz> VIPER-II: 666 if you don't want the execute bit & if memory serves, -R is recursive for chmod
[18:33] <Fuchs> bpb_grinda: you can, but it's not really my field of expertise,
[18:33] <Beastgis-Virtual> hello all, hope your is day going well.  Is this a good place for ubuntu on android?
[18:33] <Fuchs> bpb_grinda: so you might have more luck in a postfix channel / support mailing list / whatever  or with someone else :)
[18:33] <Infernal> Hey, having some wine problems.
[18:33] <Boris_> i get the files listed in my personal directory
[18:33] <zykotick9> Beastgis-Virtual: try #ubuntu-phone as well
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> Infernal: ask in #winehq as well
[18:33] <VIPER-II> Chipzzz: It's not that i want to execute, I'm just affraid that my program might mess up if i go put execute bit on files that weren't executable before. Or doesn't linux work like that?
[18:33] <monohedron> Boris_, i'm not interested in the files but in the permission biit
[18:33] <Beastgis-Virtual> thanks zykotick9!
[18:34] <Infernal> ok
[18:34] <VIPER-II> Chipzzz: Does making a file executable make a program treat it differently if that file is part of a program?
[18:34] <Boris_> what do you mean by persmission biit?
[18:34] <monohedron> Boris_, i'm not interested in the files but in the permission bit and while we are at it what is interesting is actaully "ls -la /home/yourusername"
[18:34] <Beastgis-Virtual> how do you change nickname, mine is embarrasing
[18:34] <Chipzzz> VIPER-II: well... it works like that, you just don't necessarily want everyone to be able to read/write/execute files (especially the combined last two)
[18:34] <bastidrazor> Beastgis-Virtual: /nick newnick
[18:34] <gEO_> Hey can anyone help me with ndiswrapper?
[18:35] <Chenwoyoung> hi... all can you help me
[18:35] <Chenwoyoung> ?
[18:35] <Beastgis-Virtual> thanks!
[18:35] <gEO_> I have installed and removed the other ones
[18:35] <gEO_> And loaded it
[18:35] <Earthcore> Hi, I want to know how to set the location (e.g. Berlin) with the command line?
[18:35] <gEO_> But the wifi doesnt show up
[18:35] <wolfmitchell> Earthcore: cd
[18:35] <VIPER-II> Chipzzz: i dont mind the 'everyone' aspect, cuz this server is located behind my own router without any ports open. But u answered my question already.  :)
[18:35] <Earthcore> I got sudo cp /media/EXTERNAL/App/ /etc/timezone;\
[18:35] <Earthcore> sudo dpkg-reconfigure --frontend noninteractive tzdata;\
[18:35] <Chenwoyoung> my terminal bash
[18:35] <Chenwoyoung> help
[18:35] <Chenwoyoung> please
[18:35] <Chipzzz> VIPER-II: :-)
[18:35] <Chenwoyoung> ~_~
[18:35] <FloodBot1> Chenwoyoung: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:35] <wolfmitchell> Owait-thought you ment directory
[18:36] <Earthcore> But that does not set my location to berlin only the timezone
[18:36] <wolfmitchell> Earthcore: see above post
[18:36] <monohedron> Boris_, 'ls -la /home/yourusername|grep ICE'
[18:36] <simpson1897> Hey Shonster, are you here? it's Vladymyr!
[18:36] <wolfmitchell> Earthcore: I think you can only do that when installing
[18:36] <aaas> is my unity 'home folder' supposed to look this basic: http://i42.tinypic.com/2v1xohe.jpg   or am i missing some packages

[18:37] <BlueWolf> bastidrazor: Ok got it, one last question where I changed my Account details for Garurumon to put spotchat, why won't it allow me to Apply - when I click close then it comes up with "There are unsaved modifications to your Garurumon on freenode account.You are about to close the window, which will discard your changes. Are you sure you want to proceed?"
[18:37] <Boris_> monohedron: no sresponse
[18:37] <elhoir> back
[18:38] <elhoir> didnt work :(
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> aaas: try a different icon theme
[18:38] <monohedron> ok then it isn't there which means you are in over a terminal
[18:38] <aaas> ActionParsnip well what I mean is that, there's no bar to type in where i want to navigate, in fact it seems to be lacking all the features I would expect from a file browser
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> monohedron: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/dapper/man8/tzconfig.8.html
[18:39] <Earthcore> wolfmitchell: I guess there is a way to do it just haven't found it
[18:39] <monohedron> Boris_, if your permisisons are set proberly in /home and in /home/yourusername you should be good to log in again
[18:39] <wolfmitchell> Hm. Google it?
[18:40] <Beezy> there's all asleep in ubuntu phone, anybody hear offhand if ubuntu android supports bluetooth 'directly'?
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> aaas: press CTRL+L
[18:40] <aaas> ActionParsnip thank you, is there an alternative browser you recommend?
[18:40] <monohedron> Earthcore, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/dapper/man8/tzconfig.8.html
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> aaas: do you mean file browser, or web browser?
[18:41] <monohedron> Earthcore, from ActionParsnip
[18:41] <aaas> ActionParsnip: file browser
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> aaas: pcmanfm is what I use most days
[18:41] <aaas> ActionParsnip: basically to replace my 'hoem folder'
[18:42] <aaas> ActionParsnip: thanks
[18:42] <sio_> cè qualche italiano?
[18:43] <BlueWolf> bastidrazor: Ok got it, one last question where I changed my Account details for Garurumon to put spotchat, why won't it allow me to Apply - when I click close then it comes up with "There are unsaved modifications to your Garurumon on freenode account.You are about to close the window, which will discard your changes. Are you sure you want to proceed?"
[18:43] <BlueWolf> bastidrazor: How do I save it because when I close it then it resets itself.
[18:43] <Earthcore> monohedron: thanks but I want the weather report and the location applet to show my place and tzconfig is not enought. You know in the upper right in gnome meatacity
[18:43] <bastidrazor> BlueWolf: i don't know. empathy is a horrible irc client.
[18:44] <Tigerboy> Installed Gosa on Ubuntu 11.10 and I cannot uninstall it-- now it's preventing me from installing anything else even with the install -f --- no matter what I try.
[18:44] <monohedron> nope no idea, i only forwarded the answer
[18:44] <aaas> ActionParsnip: can it browse network folders?
[18:44] <Oer> !it | sio_
[18:44] <BlueWolf> bastidrazor: Ha thanks. Well what is a better Chat program?
[18:44] <Earthcore> monohedron: I can set it with my mouse but it gets annoying to do that on every live session startup
[18:45] <VIPER-II> hmm... strange... i can't seem to find the screensaver page in my Ubuntu.  :S
[18:45] <monohedron> Earthcore, I have no idea
[18:45] <sio_> thanks
[18:45] <bastidrazor> BlueWolf: GUI i would go with xchat.. command line i use suggest irssi
[18:45] <VIPER-II> Doesn't Ubuntu come with pre-installed screensavers?
[18:45] <zykotick9> Tigerboy: what is the package name for gosa?  "!info gosa" doesn't return anything.
[18:46] <Earthcore> monohedron: Thanks anyway you tried
[18:46] <monohedron> nope ActionParsni did
[18:46] <bastidrazor> !find gosa

[18:46] <BlueWolf> bastidrazor: Well I have Xchat installed but the interface troubled me and I can't seem to find my way around to get on to spotchat, could you help then?
[18:47] <VIPER-II> oh
[18:47] <VIPER-II> thanks ActionParnsip
[18:47] <mongy> aaas, you seem to missing some theme packages or something, that looks ghastly.  try sudo apt-get install --reinstall light-themes ubuntu-artwork ubuntu-mono humanity-icon-theme
[18:48] <bastidrazor> BlueWolf: same thing. you may need to add the server in the network list.
[18:48] <its_falling> Newbie question: I decided to delete my Ubuntu partition, because of troubles I was having, can I extend my Windows partition back to full size?
[18:48] <[tla]> hi. i have a 12.04 server. i installed the desktop components (gdm) on top but X is not starting on the console (i have the login prompt). card is nvidia 9500 GT connected to TV via HDMI. i have the nvidia drivers installed. how best to debug? thx
[18:48] <mongy> aaas, you might also want gnome-tweak-tool to set your theme and icons
[18:48] <bastidrazor> BlueWolf: there is an #xchat channel that knows everything about xchat.
[18:49] <aaas> mongy: didn't work.. maybe its because I'm running unity 2d over nomachine?
[18:49] <bpb_grinda> why when i remove a package with apt-get remove i can still see it dpkg selections ?
[18:49] <Oer> BlueWolf, it is easy, /server irc.spotchat.org 6667 >> http://www.spotchat.org/Dokumentation-FAQ-SpotChat_connect
[18:50] <mongy> aaas, ah well, all bets are off then
[18:50] <rymate1234> hello
[18:50] <zykotick9> bpb_grinda: most likely there are config files left, thus you will see an rc on the left side (i think)
[18:50] <BlueWolf> Oer: Is this for Empathy or Xchat?
[18:50] <bpb_grinda> zykotick9 so how do i remove it completely ?
[18:50] <zykotick9> bpb_grinda: purge
[18:51] <rymate1234> i am having a problem with wine
[18:51] <bastidrazor> BlueWolf: xchat. you already know empathy does not parse /server
[18:51] <bpb_grinda> zykotick9 i tried apt-get purge but still its there. i can start it from /etc/init.d
[18:51] <rymate1234> i seem to be lacking sound
[18:51] <zykotick9> bpb_grinda: ? good luck.
[18:51] <bpb_grinda> zykotick9 what do you mean ?
[18:52] <zykotick9> bpb_grinda: i don't know, good luck.
[18:54] <fling> I need a C app that will sort the files by type instead of perl magicsort :\
[18:54] <fling> what app do i need?
[18:58] <Chipzzz> rymate1234: "/join #wine"
[18:58] <bastidrazor> Chipzzz: rymate1234 winehq is the channel name for wine
[18:58] <rymate1234> ok
[18:59] <Chipzzz> bastidrazor: rymate1234: sorry & tnx bastidrazor
[19:00] <Polah> What's the name of the tool that lets you select a specific function, i.e. web server/mail server and so on and handles package installation for it?
[19:01] <BlueWolf> Oer: Can I PM you?
[19:01] <zykotick9> !pastebinit > riad_shourov
[19:01] <Oer> BlueWolf, no, i like to keep it in this channel please.
[19:02] <bpb_grinda> why repquota -avug doesnt give me any output ?
[19:02] <Oer> BlueWolf, what is so hard to connect to a different irc-service ?
[19:02] <hidemybrain> hi ho
[19:04] <Infernal> I'v installed Bumblebee 3.0, how do i go about acquiring the 32bit library?
[19:05] <LetterRip> hi all - I have an external usb 802.11b/g card that seems to freeze my laptop every 10-50 minutes
[19:05] <bpb_grinda> Im getting messages for exceeded disk quota but I havent set any quota. can someone help me ?
[19:05] <LetterRip> linksys wusb12
[19:05] <LetterRip> any suggestions onwhat i can check to try and fix this?
[19:07] <gEO_> how do  I remove bcma?
[19:08] <gEO_> in lshw -C network it says.  driver = bcma -oci-bridge even after I installed ndiswrapper

[19:15] <JustSighDudes> How would I reasonably secure a server? Do I really have to understand AppArmor or is that only for super secure requirements?
[19:18] <STONE_COLD> .ךןדא
[19:20] <mongy> JustSighDudes,  personally on my vps, I run everything over vpn and have iptables setup with just that 1 port, and the rest only available to vpn clients.  personal use swerver.
[19:20] <mongy> server*
[19:21] <mongy> JustSighDudes, if yours is a bit more open, then iptables for only those ports you need, drop everything else, and fail2ban is also a good idea.
[19:22] <JustSighDudes> mongy, that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm mostly worried about web app vulnerabilities.
[19:22] <JustSighDudes> Subsonic music streaming, wordpress, etc.
[19:22] <radioact1ve> not sure what happened but all of the sudden I don't have write access to my ntfs internal hd. ntfsfix says all is good and so does chkdsk from win7. any ideas?
[19:23] <JustSighDudes> Thinking of chrooting apache but don't really know how effective that would be.
[19:26] <as001> hi I could not boot from live cd until i changed mode to vesa. Why my ATI Radeon 4670 (which should be the best supported in foss drivers) can no enter in normal mode ?
[19:26] <bpb_grinda> why i dont get output for repquota -avug ?
[19:27] <mongy> !nomodeset | as001
[19:27] <mongy> as001, my 4650 is fine however.
[19:27] <urfr332gO> radioact1ve, make sure you have ntfs-3g installed
[19:27] <urfr332gO> in ubuntu
[19:28] <as001> I saw that ubottu and blacnk screen has gone when i chose vesa but I think I should be able to boot in normal.... I tried to turn off everything on F6 but if I choose normal I get black screen
[19:29] <as001> IT also says on lspci it is kernel module: radeon but lsmod does not show radeon at all... I think it uses some other module..
[19:29] <urfr332gO> as001, you may need a driver try the nomodeset option.
[19:30] <as001> I tried that option with mode normal and get black screen
[19:30] <mongy> as001, hence the nomodeset option.
[19:30] <mongy> as001, "which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen"
[19:31] <as001> it is not needed for thisone because it boots fine in vesa mode without that option.
[19:31] <mongy> as001,  what version of ubuntu ?
[19:31] <as001> 10.10
[19:31] <bpb_grinda> why i dont get output for repquota -avug ?
[19:31] <mongy> as001, nomodeset is a better option than vesa... vesa is a failsafe
[19:32] <as001> I alread said i can not boot with nomodeset + normal
[19:32] <mongy> as001, consider using 11.10. or waiting till 12.04.  till then, either boot with nomodeset or boot in vesa and install the fglrx driver
[19:32] <radioact1ve> urfr332gO, done. not sure what to do next... if it was working before since install why would i need it now?
[19:33] <urfr332gO> radioact1ve, have you even checked maybe it got removed.
[19:33] <LinSkyrate> hi :) i get chipset unknown on my AWUS036NHR Alfa USB dongle... in kernel 3.2 any ideas? everything else seems fine..
[19:33] <radioact1ve> urfr332gO, not sure what you mean by remove?
[19:34] <radioact1ve> urfr332gO, oh wtf its working now!
[19:34] <urfr332gO> radioact1ve, all apps have dependencies,. maybe while doing what you do or did installing blaf blah blah it got removed.
[19:35] <urfr332gO> radioact1ve, thank god .
[19:35] <radioact1ve> urfr332gO, wow thanks for your help. thats most likely what happened
[19:35] <urfr332gO> radioact1ve, n problem. :)
[19:35] <urfr332gO> no*
[19:36] <zhuang> hi everyone, i just installed ubuntu through wubi. Could I trouble this channel for some help?
[19:36] <radioact1ve> urfr332gO, doesn't it know that i use it? why would it remove it?
[19:36] <Chenwoyoung> hey
[19:36] <Chenwoyoung> how are you all?
[19:37] <urfr332gO> radioact1ve, the computer does not think, thats your job. :)
[19:37] <radioact1ve> urfr332gO, touché
[19:38] <Chenwoyoung> z
[19:38] <urfr332gO> radioact1ve, lol. :)
[19:38] <radioact1ve> urfr332gO, haha thanks again for your helped.save me!
[19:38] <urfr332gO> radioact1ve, no problem. :)
[19:39] <zhuang> how would I go about installing a new windows manager? specifically scrotwm
[19:39] <zhuang> i'm new to the command line
[19:40] <zykotick9> zhuang: "sudo apt-get install scrotwm"
[19:41] <wolfmitchell> Still waiting for the ubuntu server vm to install...
[19:42] <whiskers75> How do you get a Wacom Bamboo tablet to work with Ubuntu 11.10 on a Toshiba Portege 4000?
[19:42] <zhuang> thank you zykotick9
[19:43] <whiskers75> bump
[19:44] <zhuang> zykotick9, now that i've installed in, how owuld I go about enabling it?
[19:44] <whiskers75> bump
[19:44] <whiskers75> (19:42:38) whiskers75: How do you get a Wacom Bamboo tablet to work with Ubuntu 11.10 on a Toshiba Portege 4000?
[19:44] <zykotick9> zhuang: if you use a DM, log out an choose it.
[19:44] <Daekdroom> whiskers75, no need to repeat the question that often.
[19:45] <whiskers75> daekdroom: ok
[19:46] <moddinati> Hello.  I need to create a bootable XP install disk (I currently do not have windows on my machine).  Anyone know of linux alternatives to WinToFlash?  unetbootin did not work.
[19:46] <xangua> moddinati: unetbootin is just for linux distros, try the ##windows channel
[19:47] <whiskers75> Any help?
[19:47] <moddinati> xangua:  Thanks for responding.  I don't believe the windows channels would know anything about linux software (correct me if I'm wrong).
[19:48] <moddinati> I need a linux program to create a windows install flash drive (I only have ubuntu on my machine).
[19:48] <zykotick9> moddinati: so, why should a gnu/linux channel know about ms softare then?  double standard
[19:48] <whiskers75> Oh forget it, I am leaving.
[19:48] <Stava> When I plug my laptop (ubuntu unity) to a external monitor, dual-screen is activated automagically. However when I do the opposite, unplugging the monitor, nothing seems to happen. I loose the windows that were on the monitor and the unity launcher is unavailable/off screen
[19:49] <Stava> Can I force a monitor update or something
[19:49] <moddinati> zykotick9:  I'm not asking for ms software per se.  I'm asking for linux software to create a windows install flash drive.  Make sense?
[19:49] <zhuang> zyotick, upon logging out and logging back in with scrotwm, i wasnt able to really log back in. i was just show the scrotwm taskbar on the top of the page, but the ubuntu login screen did not change.
[19:50] <zykotick9> !tab > zhuang
[19:50] <xangua> moddinati: make sense it doesn't has to do with ubuntu, already tried the ##windows channel?
[19:50] <urfr332gO> moddinati, pretty difficult in linux, go to a windows computer and use the wintoflash it works wonderful, if the ISO or disc is a legit ms product.
[19:50] <zykotick9> zhuang: i don't understand?  are you in scrotwm or not?
[19:50] <joker2u> what is the ubuntu command line pipe pasteit? I installed 'ls|nautilus-pastebin' and get -> nautilus-pastebin: command not found  so I am a little confuzed
[19:51] <zhuang> no, i am not. when i tried to get into scrotwm through what you refer to as the "DM", i got stuck on the ubuntu login screen but i did see the scrotwm taskbar on the top of he page
[19:51] <LjL> moddinati: for the record, i think your question is appropriate for both #ubuntu and #windows, but i also suspect it's not easy (if at all possible) to do what you want from Ubuntu
[19:51] <ssta> joker2u: foocmd | pastebinit
[19:51] <zhuang> but that was the only thing that changed.
[19:51] <Stava> My problem seems to be a reported bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/867840
[19:51] <moddinati> urfr332g0: Thanks.  Problem is I don't have access to a windows machine.
[19:51] <zhuang> the login screen freezed, basically.
[19:51] <moddinati> Ljl: Thanks for the response.  I will check the #windows channel, I may misunderstand what that channel is.
[19:52] <ssta> moddinati: would a workaround like installing windows on a VM and using that be workable?
[19:52] <LjL> xangua, zykotick9: if he's asking how to do something from Ubuntu, i don't see why it doesn't belong here to be honest.
[19:52] <urfr332gO> moddinati, install the xp in a virtual then make the flash.
[19:52] <thevaliantx> is there a tool i can use in pinguyos (no one is talking in the #pinguyos channel) to turn off the touchpad on my dell 1545 inspiron?  it's annoying me to no end.  thanks.
[19:53] <zykotick9> LjL: i was just commenting on this double standard.  MS doesn't need to know about linux, but gnu/linux people need to know about windows.  It wasn't me that directed him to the other channel.
[19:53] <urfr332gO> thevaliantx, that os is not supported here. :)
[19:53] <moddinati> urfr332g0:  Round-a-bout way of doing it.  Should work though. Thanks
[19:53] <ssta> zykotick9: I took it as a compliment.  Windows guys wouldn't have the cross platform skills, but Linux guys tend to...
[19:53] <joker2u> what is the ubuntu command line pipe pasteit? I just apt-get installed it and when doing a basic test -> 'ls|nautilus-pastebin' and get -> nautilus-pastebin: command not found  so I am a little confuzed
[19:54] <ssta> joker2u: pastebinit
[19:54] <Oer> Stava, is there a FN key to switch external monitor ?
[19:54] <mrdeb> hi, is ubuntu 1204 ready almost
[19:54] <zykotick9> !pastebinit > joker2u
[19:54] <thevaliantx> urfr332gO, please, spare me the elitism, i know it's not 'supported' here, i made that pretty clear.  that doesn't mean someone can't be nice and help any way.  linux is about community, my friend.
[19:54] <Stava> Oer: actually there seems to be a monitor-icon on one of the FN-combination keys
[19:54] <ssta> mrdeb: sometime in April I imagine
[19:54] <mrdeb> no i mean now
[19:54] <urfr332gO> !attitude > thevaliantx
[19:54] <ssta> it's not going to be released until April
[19:55] <urfr332gO> thevaliantx, not my rules.
[19:55] <mrdeb> i know but i need to know if i works ok today
[19:55] <ssta> mrdeb: probably #ubuntu+1 is a better place to ask
[19:55] <ssta> I think that's the channel name anyway
[19:56] <zykotick9> ssta: it is ;)
[19:56] <joker2u> ssta ty! I don't know how I missed that.
[19:56] <thevaliantx> urfr332gO, excuse me?  i asked for help, thanked everyone for taking the time to read the message.  if you don't want to help, fine, but there's no need for you to act superior.
[19:56] <Oer> Stava that could be a help, maybe you need to switch before disconnecting ... and plugout after turning off the monitor, could also help
[19:56] <urfr332gO> thevaliantx, I would try ##linux now would a elitist help you. :)
[19:56] <LjL> thevaliantx: this channel only supports Ubuntu though, we don't make exceptions
[19:56] <thevaliantx> LjL pinguy is based off ubuntu, yes?
[19:56] <Stava> Oer: Currently I just managed to unplug the monitor with no issues (happens 1 in 100 times), but i'll definitely try your method next time the problem arises. Thanks!
[19:57] <LjL> thevaliantx: i don't know, but anyway we don't support third-party derivatives.
[19:57] <urfr332gO> !mint | thevaliantx here is a example of a ubuntu derivative
[19:57] <ch33z> hmm this is odd when i do gksudo nautilus in the gui interface it doesnt say root but asks for a password and i am able to access the file system. Does that mean I amin Roo?
[19:57] <ch33z> root*
[19:57] <cheako> Hello, I'd like to file a wishlist bug against cryptsetup.  There should be a way in /etc/crypttab to force inclusion in the initrd.  Currently the code does an awful lot to detect what should be included, but this type of run-time detection does not lend it's self to migrations...  That is one can't copy the root fs onto another dm-crypt device because one would never be able to mount it.  What do ppl think?
[19:57] <ssta> these days all distros seem to be based off another...nobody creates a distro from scratch any more :)
[19:58] <xangua> !gksu | ch33z: gksu is ussed for graphical appa
[19:58] <urfr332gO> ssta, they are mostly all linux and hardly differ really.
[19:58] <thevaliantx> LjL, i'll answer it for you.  yes, PinguyOS is based off Ubuntu, the author of PinguyOS thought highly enough of Ubuntu to base his OS off of it.  and you thank him for that how?
[19:58] <cheako> ssta: What's Debian bassed off of?  I'm too lazy to read the scroll back.
[19:58] <ch33z> o
[19:58] <thevaliantx> urfr332gO, seriously, is this what you do all day in here?  juvenile you are.  wow.
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> ch33z: nautilus is running with extra access but the environment is your user
[19:59] <ssta> cheako: Debian isn't really.  But Debian has been around for 20 years
[19:59] <ch33z> ah, well it says this
[19:59] <sandwich> hi i am new to ubunto , i use win7 , smbdy kindly tell me hw to use ubunto through cloud
[20:00] <cheako> ssta: From what I can tell debian redhat and slackware standalone complexes, they are copys with no original.
[20:00] <ch33z> ActionParsnip : GTK warning unable to locate module path then it prompts me for password i enter it then it opens a "home" folder
[20:00] <ch33z> wouldnt it say root instead?
[20:00] <zhuang> could anyone tell me why upon logging in ubuntu 11.10 with scrotwm selected from the dropdown tab, I freeze at the login screen?
[20:00] <zykotick9> ch33z: arch as well
[20:00] <ch33z> arch?
[20:00] <ssta> cheako: yeah...there are others too.  It's really something for discussion in -offtopic though, before any of the zealots jump down my throat :)
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> ch33z: you are using gksudo, so it is your user password
[20:01] <sandwich> hw to use ubunto on win 7  pl
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> sandwich: how do you mean?
[20:01] <zykotick9> ch33z: sorry, TAB fail - was meant for cheako
[20:01] <LjL> sandwich: you don't use Ubuntu "through cloud".
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> sandwich: the OS is ubuntu too, not ubunto
[20:01] <ch33z> ah
[20:01] <sandwich> k  ubuntu
[20:02] <ch33z> but once i emable that its in the root correct?
[20:02] <sandwich> bt is it psble to use it on win7
[20:02] <LjL> sandwich: no
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> sandwich: you could use virtualbox
[20:02] <LjL> sandwich: you can use a virtual machine if you want, that lets you run any other OS inside Windows
[20:02] <sandwich> yea tht wat i mean

[20:04] <wondering> I have been trying all day to get my Rhythmbox player icon to work on my docky.  It bounces twice then nothing. The player will not start from the docky.  It does however start from the start menu/soundandvideo/rhythmbox .... I have tried to remove from docky and re-drag and drop, log out, restart, nothing works or helps.   any help
[20:04] <sandwich> ssta
[20:04] <sandwich> ty

[20:05] <thevaliantx> wrong time of day i see :)
[20:06] <rokr1> I bought a new PC with Z68 G3 mobo
[20:06] <thevaliantx> not my day.  i need to sleep.
[20:06] <rokr1> its running UEFI
[20:06] <wondering> Bye the way, everything else works on the docky
[20:07] <rokr1> I got Ubuntu server installed in it
[20:07] <rokr1> and Ubuntu desktop ...
[20:07] <rokr1> I mean gnome on ubuntu server
[20:07] <wondering> Dr_willis can you help me with a docky and rhythmbox icon problem.. the icon bounces but doesnt activate the program
[20:07] <rokr1> I got issues in disk utility
[20:08] <urfr332gO> wondering, in unity docky is funky sometime s close ans restart help.
[20:08] <Dr_willis> wondering,  ive not used docky in ages. and i dont recall ever using rythmbox very much if ever.
[20:08] <urfr332gO> a*
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> rokr1: if you wanted a desktop OS, why install the server OS?
[20:09] <wondering> Dr_willis is there another .... more updated docking station I could be using?  all the other icons work but rhythmbox
[20:10] <rokr1> I am running just for browsing purpose
[20:10] <rokr1> and to run XEN or KVM with Virtual Manager
[20:10] <Guest79679> I'd like vim with +clientserver, I used to have it, now not. Indeed I still have vim 7.2 - is there an easy way to get 7.3 and it compiled with the clientserver option?
[20:10] <Dr_willis> !dock
[20:11] <rokr1> Tried installing Xubuntu desktop but it failed on installing unity
[20:11] <Dr_willis> Guest79679,  try a PPA perhaps.
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> rokr1: i'd just install the ubuntu desktop OS, you'll have fewer issues
[20:12] <Guest79679> yes, but which one? :) and thank you for your response Dr_willis.
[20:12] <Dr_willis> Guest79679,  theres ppa search sites. There may be several.
[20:12] <Dr_willis> and you may want to change your nick Guest79679
[20:13] <Guest79679> I'll go and hunt and thank you once again. And next time I'll attend to a more memorable nick :)
[20:13] <Guest79679> bye
[20:13] <Guest79679> quit
[20:14] <wondering> Dr_willis I read somewhere the new release of unbuntu will go back to rhythmbox.. Thx
[20:15] <joker2u> following these guidlines -> http://wiki.networksecuritytoolkit.org/nstwiki/index.php/Disk_Images#How_Do_I_Mount_A_Partition_From_A_Disk_Image.3F  my sfdisk  ->  http://pastebin.com/HdkUUcQy , calculate (1536000 * 1024)+(512*63)=1572896256  then do -> losetup -o<PHONE_NUMBER> /dev/loop0 /mnt/drive1/image.dd , then 'mount /dev/loop0/ /mnt/image1, I get ->  The device '/dev/loop0' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS ??  anyone know what I missed?
[20:16] <rokr1> Now I just want to have an issue resolved ant thats my disk utility I get a warning on ubuntu that I need to get the Misaligned warning
[20:17] <rokr1> repartition is suggested but how to repartition
[20:17] <wondering> Dr_willis   This may give you some clues also,,  the rythmbox player DOES work from the start menu but I just put a desktop icon on the desktop and it does NOT work from there??
[20:17] <David_Miller> anyone use activemq?
[20:17] <rokr1> I mean I used gparted and everything
[20:17] <rokr1> i got them aligned like /dev/sda1,2,3
[20:18] <rokr1> still I get the same issue
[20:18] <Dr_willis> misaligned may be meaning they do not end on cylinder boundries. Not that they are 'out of order'
[20:19] <Dr_willis> or was it sectors? i havent had to mess with disk partions in a long time. and the new stuff/defaults/standard ways may be differnt then what i rember
[20:19] <bullitt> hello people,  i want to see how do i install theme on xubuntu ?
[20:19] <ajah> is this going to block the traffic of user from my ad hoc wireless network iptables -A INPUT -s IP-ADDRESS -j DROP
[20:20] <xangua> bullitt: create .themes directory in your home and Extract the themes there
[20:20] <rokr1> so how to resolve the misaligned by issue
[20:20] <bullitt> thx
[20:21] <rokr1> dr wills any suggestion
[20:21] <rokr1> ?
[20:21] <outbox> when I dig host the query time is always 0 even when I restart dnsmasq,  how can i make sure that dnsmasq is working fine?
[20:23] <Dr_willis> rokr1,  when making new partitons i just let gparted select the defaults. Im not sure its really an issue actually if they are not alined. it might be an issue ifyoiu are on a SSD drive.
[20:23] <technologov> hi ! What are the "Ubuntu for Android" system requirements ?
[20:24] <technologov> specifically: does it support VGA (D-Sub) monitors ?
[20:24] <xangua> technologov: you may want to ask again when it's released ;)
[20:24] <rokr1> No I am not using SSD
[20:25] <rokr1> I am on SATA III AHCI mode
[20:25] <bullitt> how do i show hidden files in home folder?
[20:25] <ssta> there's a slight performance hit for unaligned partitions, but I don't think there's any other worry
[20:25] <technologov> xangua, osnews said it is... am I wrong ?
[20:26] <outbox> when I dig host the query time is always 0 even when I restart dnsmasq,  how can i make sure that dnsmasq is working fine?
[20:26] <bullitt> figured it searched for the folder thx
 ls -al
[20:27] <GaryDev> Howdy :) I am not a linux pro, mostly used Fedora before, and now on a new hosting service that has supplied the LTS version as a package. It seems to have "ufw"as the iptables software, and I am not sure if it is working correctly. Example to follow..
[20:27] <rokr1> I am on UEFI may be its related since it might use protective MBR
[20:28] <agoldson> Is there a pdf of the Ubuntu Desktop Guide available anywhere?
[20:28] <mongy> !iptables |  GaryDev
[20:29] <GaryDev> I enter in putty "iptables -A INPUT -s <IP_ADDRESS> -j DROP" and then I save the table to a file... when I read that file, it shows "-A INPUT -s <IP_ADDRESS>/32 -j DROP" ...
[20:29] <rokr1> I am confused with the concept of UEFI on MBR with misaligned by
[20:29] <xangua> !manual | agoldson looks is outdated
[20:29] <urfr332gO> outbox, so posting on dual channels is frowned on and since your running 12.04 please use #ubuntu=! one as you have been.
[20:29] <Eruadan> hey! Does anyone have the link to node.js package for ubuntu lucid 10.04 ?
[20:30] <mongy> GaryDev, short answer is, its normal.
[20:30] <GaryDev> ubottu - I have no graphical interface, I just use putty and webmin...
[20:30] <Dr_willis> what 'node.js' package
[20:30] <agoldson> ty
[20:30] <Eruadan> node itself
[20:30] <GaryDev> ah.. bot.. <grin>
[20:30] <Dr_willis> webmin is known to be problematic.
[20:30] <mongy> GaryDev, sudo iptables -L will show you what you have enabled.
[20:30] <xangua> Eruadan: packages.ubuntu.com ¿
[20:31] <Eruadan> no, it is in a different place
[20:31] <Dr_willis> !find node.js
[20:31] <rokr1> is my HDD gone bad
[20:31] <rokr1> ??
[20:32] <war10ck_> !help
[20:32] <GaryDev> mongy, yes... it shows it as being a range, and I didn't specify a range. And often, it converts the IP I have entered, into a dns type entry.. and its confusing
[20:32] <war10ck_> !find ldap
[20:33] <ssta> GaryDev: use iptables -L -n (to prevent it doing reverse lookups)
[20:33] <GaryDev> Now, there are times when I DO specify a range, like blocking entire domains from China..
[20:33] <GaryDev> trying... -L -n to see what it shows.. moment
[20:35] <urfr332gO> war10ck_, you can get that info privately so you don't take up half the page for your own personal needs.
[20:35] <GaryDev> hmm.. interesting... the -L -n now shows the ip and not the range (for the ones that I didn't specify ranges on)... so I take it this is "normal" for UFW... and not to be worried?
[20:36] <ssta> GaryDev: ufw isn't supposed to be for people who run iptables themselves :)
[20:37] <GaryDev> should I be using different "options" rather than just doing an "iptables-save"
[20:37] <rokr1> dr_wills its an issue with Linux OS man
[20:37] <GaryDev> ah, ok ssta... should I un-install UFW then, and just put in the base iptables
[20:37] <rokr1> Newer HDD comes with 4k sectors
[20:37] <ssta> GaryDev: I dunno. Personally I write my firewalls in scripts, so I never have to save the tables, I make changes to the scripts and then run the script to apply them.  YMMV
[20:37] <rokr1> Linux is not fully ready for 4k Sector
[20:38] <Dr_willis> rokr1,  i belive thats changeable when you partion/format the disk and partitons
[20:38] <ssta> GaryDev: it's up to you.  Personally I dislike ufw.  Ultimately use the way that suits your own way of working
[20:38] <GaryDev> yeah.. scripts.. um... like I say, I'm not really a good linux type person
[20:39] <ssta> GaryDev: then learn the ufw way I guess.  "There is more than one way to do it[tm]"
[20:39] <ssta> the more time you invest in learning the different ways, the more gain you get imo

[20:40] <kuldeepdhaka> [20:40] <trishxo> i am running ubuntu 11.10, i tried installing classic gnome, i had to reboot, but now ubuntu won't boot up to the login screen. is there a way i can restore ubuntu 11.10 as if i just installed it?
[20:40] <GaryDev> LOL.. I did read the ufw link.. and its kinda greek to me. I think I may uninstall it, and just put in the base iptables software..

[20:41] <urfr332gO> trishxo, what is the release  your running?
[20:41] <trishxo> ubuntu 11.10
[20:42] <trishxo> urfr332g0:^
[20:42] <cool_beans> I put supergrub2 on a USB-HDD, but now I find the USB-HDD doesn't get recognized as a "drive" when I plug it in, so I'm not able to reformat it - it does get recognized as a device though (I'm on Win7 by the way).
[20:42] <urfr332gO> trishxo, oops sorry you posted that try using the recovery to get to the login.
[20:42] <GaryDev> thanks ssta, mongy.. I just want 'simple' from the putty prompt. I will re-review the links.. thanks kindly for your advice, I appreciate it
[20:42] <Neptu> hej easy question should i add my admin user to the wheel group??
[20:43] <Eruadan> http://blog.onetechnical.com/2011/11/21/install-node-js-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ this is the repo i was talking about
[20:43] <urfr332gO> cool_beans, not recognized in Windows?
[20:43] <trishxo> urfr332g0: i tried that, it won't boot past the ubuntu 11.10 loading screen.
[20:44] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> Neptu: there is no wheel group by default
[20:45] <urfr332gO> trishxo, not sure about trying to install gnome 2 if thats what you meab\n or the after effect. Most just install the gnome shell which includes gnome 3 and a fallback desktop sort of like gnome 2.
[20:45] <Neptu> ActionParsnip: so is no way to use su or sudo ??
[20:45] <urfr332gO> meant*
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> Neptu: the admin group gives access to sudo, any user can use su
[20:46] <haylo> any suggestions for file managers other than nautilus and thunar? i need a  150mib comp science database to open to a unique looking file browser. unique from the rest of the system that is

[20:46] <trishxo> urfr332g0: yeah i tried the fallback desktop but when rebooting it didn't boot up.
[20:46] <Dr_willis> haylo,  dozens of file managers out there.
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> haylo: pcmanfm
[20:46] <haylo> soemthing not k-stifff?
[20:47] <Dr_willis> haylo,  you mean open the directory where the database is at?
[20:47] <urfr332gO> trishxo, did you get the fallback with the gnome shell or just all by itself?
[20:47] <haylo> i have my own database
[20:47] <haylo> i need a new lightweight file manager unique for it
[20:47] <Ricardoo> ola... to precisando de uma ajuda para usar minha multifuncional epson tx135.. ela imprimi mas nao consigo scanear nada

[20:47] <haylo> i have naut and thunar so i need a 3rd with out many depends?
[20:48] <urfr332gO> trishxo, also use the tab complete for nics the : does not actually notify another nic unless you have it set to.
[20:48] <haylo> it is just a bunch of .pdf and .txt file 150mib
[20:48] <trishxo> urfr332g0: i got it from this link http://linux-software-news-tutorials.blogspot.com/2011/10/ubuntu-1110-oneiric-remove-unity-and.html
[20:48] <Dr_willis> haylo,  do its just a directory structure. any file manger can do it. mc, rox, doublecommander,  proberly a dozen more i cant recall

I'd like to reformat it now, so that I can put on an Ubuntu image, but I'm finding that my computer (os = windows 7) doesn't recognize the USB-HDD as a "drive" anymore - doesn't show up with a letter. It is however, being recognized as a device. What can I doto make the computer see it as a dr
[20:51] <Dr_willis> kuldeepdhaka,  try booting a usb flash of ubuntu perhaps?

[20:52] <ActionParsnip> Ricardoo: found it at http://community.linuxmint.com/hardware/view/9394
[20:53] <cool_beans1> Should I copy and paste it again?
[20:53] <urfr332gO> trishxo, that is not possible just stick with the I did this.
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> rokr1: I believe its based on Linux, its part of the ultimate boot cd
[20:53] <kuldeepdhaka> but i need a serious os on which i can work easily
[20:53] <rokr1> Yeah... good idea actionparsnip
[20:53] <rokr1> will try it
[20:54] <M0170n1337> ok
[20:54] <urfr332gO> trishxo, and now you can't get to the login, there are no recovery options like windows has to a earlier setup in ubuntu.]
[20:54] <Seryth> trishxo: Well, you could re-install...backup all your important stuff first though. Check out adrive.com.
[20:54] <trishxo> Seryth: do not have usb stick or cd ahaha.
[20:55] <urfr332gO> cool_beans, are you noticing that I have responded to you twice?
[20:55] <Seryth> trishxo: I see, heh. Weeeelll......you could....um.....manually remove all the stuff you don't want, check in /usr/bin/ and stuff for extra stuff that doesn't get purged by sudo apt-get purge program, or by synaptic.
[20:55] <Ricardoo> ActionParsnip, Thanks
[20:55] <trishxo> Seryth: can't even get to the login screen mang

[20:57] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, windows will only read a ntfs or fat.
[20:57] <scorpion> ok thanks
[20:57] <abc__> Hi
[20:57] <kuldeepdhaka> dr_willis, i need a serous os to work on...
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> urfr332gO: it'll read ext3 and ext2 with extra software
[20:57] <Seryth> trishxo: Can you boot into recovery console at startup? Hold SHIFT during boot, and you'll load grub. Then, enter recovery console; if you have an external HDD or a second HDD, you could use cp to copy stuff you want to keep. But after this you'll just have a backup, not a freshly thingy install.
[20:57] <cool_beans1> Well, so what can I do to make it just reformat the disk to NTFS or FAT?
[20:58] <cool_beans1> I'm not trying to read from it, I'd just like to be able to see it as a drive which I can reformat.
[20:58] <kuldeepdhaka> actionparsnip, i need a serious os to work on,,,
[20:58] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, can you right click it I saw it is a device and format it, or does it show in the Disk manager in W7?
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> cool_beans1: you can use windows disk manager
[20:58] <trishxo> Seryth: yeah i can. thanks.
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka: define "serious OS"
[20:59] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO, ActionParsnip: Let me try out those things, and see where I get.
[20:59] <kuldeepdhaka> on which i can do progamming and other stuffs
[20:59] <kuldeepdhaka> ActionParsnip, on which i can do progamming and other stuffs
[20:59] <Seryth> trishxo: Great. Why did this problem happen in the first place?
[20:59] <Seryth> kuldeepdhaka: A linux os is what you make it.
[20:59] <urfr332gO> ActionParsnip, gentoo is my vote. :)
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka: could install ubuntu minimal, then install openbox and you will have a super slim OS
[21:00] <Seryth> ActionParsnip: Wow, that would be a super duper slim OS O.o
[21:00] <kuldeepdhaka> actionparsnip,please tell me about it more
[21:00] <kuldeepdhaka> actionparsnip,please tell me more about it
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka: minimal installs a kernel, bootloader and standard drivers. You can then install openbox to get a GUI which is very light in RAM and storage
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka: have some patience, shild
[21:01] <Oer> !minimal
[21:01] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: i think even mini will be to large if Xorg is installed.  Even my KVM server (without X) is over 1GB
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: hmm
[21:01] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO, ActionParsnip: It does not show up as a drive under the "Disk Management" tool in Windows. Also, under control panel > devices, right clicking doesn't give me an option to reformat. There was a "properties" option which looked promising, but I couldn't find anything within that which would help me reformat.
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> cool_beans1: you could unpartition it in gparted and it may show in Windows
[21:02] <abc__> I would be grateful for any help! Have Lenovo x61s, and need configure hylafax. but I can't install/configure hsfmodem. I do http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1903439 and get Warning: no device detected by hsf driver - HDA modems may require reboot. Reboot not help. What do?

[21:02] <cool_beans1> ActionParsnip: I don't have access to an Ubuntu system :/
[21:02] <cool_beans1> ahh
[21:02] <cool_beans1> never mind
[21:02] <cool_beans1> It's available for windows!
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> cool_beans1: you have the ubuntu live cd, or you can make one at the very least.....
[21:03] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, you might download partition manager or the easu partitioner and see if they see it.
[21:03] <Oer> rokr1, no, you need to format again.
[21:03] <rokr1> I mean block size
[21:03] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, or follow ActionParsnip advice as well.
[21:03] <kuldeepdhaka> ActionParsnip: i m new to linux and want start with linux,,,so give me any tutorial that i can do it my self
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka: tutorial for what?
[21:04] <cool_beans1> kuldeepdhaka: I think I have something for you, hold up.
[21:04] <kuldeepdhaka> ok
[21:04] <cool_beans1> kuldeepdhaka: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal
[21:04] <kuldeepdhaka> cool_beans: thanks
[21:04] <cool_beans1> kuldeepdhaka: No problem.
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka: could try puppy as well
[21:06] <evildaemon> Hey guys. Apparently scsh depends on scsh. That doesn't seem right.
[21:06] <kuldeepdhaka> actionparsnip: tried but i need some feature bcos it a computer that have mid level strength
[21:06] <kuldeepdhaka> like graphics and better gui
[21:07] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: easus is great! :)
[21:07] <kuldeepdhaka> [21:07] <cool_beans1> kuldeepdhaka: No problem.
[21:07] <evildaemon> So I can't install it.
[21:07] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, I have used it in windows in the past seems to work in some areas, I'm not really awindows user though in general.
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka: there is one based on ubuntu, you can install packages as you do i ubuntu...
[21:08] <TimothyA> I have a question; when telling sysctrl to reboot on a kernel panic after 10 seconds... why does it just get stuck at "rebooting in 10 seconds..." after having kernel panicked?
[21:08] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: Well, it seems to be able to see it, and I can partition the USB now
[21:08] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, cool. :)
[21:08] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: So it's great for a quick install - use - uninstall tool
[21:08] <kuldeepdhaka> cool_beans1: i liked the user interface of me mevric merrcat[10.10] can i intall that one,,,,
[21:08] <haux> How do you change the workgroup in xubuntu?
[21:09] <cool_beans1> kuldeepdhaka: Gnome 2 I guess?
[21:09] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, I use gparted in ubuntu or by itseflf on a multu boot thumg mostly.
[21:09] <kuldeepdhaka> actionparsnip: please give me the name
[21:09] <urfr332gO> itself*
[21:09] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: My trouble is that I've ruined my MBR
[21:09] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: and I only have one USB HDD to put boot images on, and no CDs
[21:09] <cool_beans1> :p
[21:09] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, easy fix most of the teime, can you share what that means.
[21:09] <dokurnon> Does anyone know if there is a way to get the latest boinc client on ubuntu? Is there a ppa?
[21:10] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: So what happened was that I was trying to remove an earlier installed Ubuntu partition - I went into windows disk manager, and deleted the ubuntu partition
[21:10] <TimothyA> I have a question; when telling sysctl to reboot on a kernel panic after 10 seconds... why does it just get stuck at "rebooting in 10 seconds..." after having kernel panicked? is there any way to force a reboot?
[21:10] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, and could not boot windows?
[21:10] <TimothyA> without physically pressing the reboot button, since the server is kinda 5400 miles away
[21:10] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: Now, my computer can't boot up at start up, so I have to use Super Grub Disk 2
[21:10] <cool_beans1> cool_beans1: Exactly, because it booted off the partition I deleted
[21:11] <archels> so there's this process or something which keeps spewing ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@ on my consoles
[21:11] <archels> any ideas what this is?
[21:11] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, you can put the recovery iso from windows 7 on a thumb and fix the mbr.
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka: http://puppylinux.org/main/Download%20Latest%20Release.htm   just use the web, you'll find all kinds of things
[21:11] <Benxyzzy> In a bash script, I'm outputting find to an array variable. The filenames contain spaces, and I need to set IFS (internal field separator) to \n\b for it to work. Why doesn't it work with the IFS just set to \n ? Is find outputting backspaces?
[21:12] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: That's basically what I'm trying to do right now, but once I loaded onto Windows 7, I found I couldn't see the thumbdrive, however, I've reformatted the USB now, and will be putting on the windows image
[21:12] <kuldeepdhaka> actionparsnip: i have used it,,,,but i want to install ubuntu preferably
[21:12] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, Windows 7 alows you to generate a recovery disc or Iso I believe
[21:12] <zykotick9> Benxyzzy: "if" you don't get an answer here, try #bash
[21:12] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: ahh
[21:13] <kuldeepdhaka> cool_beans1: can i install 10.10 gui on latest minimial release
[21:13] <Benxyzzy> zykotick: Didn't know that channel existed, thanks
[21:13] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, you have the W7 install iso or disc?
[21:13] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: The .iso
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> archels: i'd press the keys on your keyboard, make sure none are pressed
[21:13] <urfr332gO> kuldeepdhaka, 10.10 is only months ffrom end of life.
[21:14] <cool_beans1> kuldeepdhaka: I'm sure you can, just find out what it used - Gnome 2? and just use that as instead of openbox or whatever the tutorial suggests
[21:14] <archels> ActionParsnip: none are, plugged and replugged keyboard, rebooted, single-user mode, always the same
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> archels: press every key, be sure it pops back up
[21:14] <kuldeepdhaka> urfr332gO: i want to use the user interface of 10.10 because of its simplicity in latest release
[21:14] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, you can use the MS thumb loader to load the usb and fix the mbr, it has to be a legit ISO though.
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka: lucid puppy can install ANY application you can install in ubutu..
[21:15] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: MS thumb loader?
[21:15] <urfr332gO> kuldeepdhaka, cool but in april I believe you will get no support here and no security updates, justa heads up.
[21:16] <cool_beans1> kuldeepdhaka: The interface for 10.10 is just gnome 2 without Unity
[21:16] <cool_beans1> am I right?
[21:16] <kuldeepdhaka> urfr332gO: can i merge the latest source code with the user interface of 10.10
[21:16] <cool_beans1> yes
[21:16] <cool_beans1> you just uninstall unity
[21:16] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/html/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool
[21:16] <cool_beans1> and voila - pretty sure...
[21:17] <kuldeepdhaka> urfr332gO: i have a HP (manufed in 2008) computer with VIX 1 Mhz processor, 512 mb ram and 1 GB internal memory......i want to install ubuntu but it require 2.3 GB [version 10.10] space...is there any way to install ubuntu...i m fed up with windows embedded xp
[21:17] <rokr1> guys seems like because of that 4k block size issue I need to reformat HDD
[21:17] <urfr332gO> kuldeepdhaka, I would belioeve that but from your earlier post I hardly think so. :)
[21:17] <urfr332gO> posts
[21:18] <urfr332gO> my personal opinion though it does not matter really. kuldeepdhaka
[21:18] <kuldeepdhaka> urfr332gO: i want to do programming on it and need simple ui,,,,
[21:18] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: ahh, yes! I have that installed :) I'm still finding that windows can't detect my USB HDD though...even after I used EASEUS to repartition the USB...
[21:18] <kuldeepdhaka> like 10.10
[21:19] <cool_beans1> kuldeepdhaka: 10.10 just has gnome 2
[21:19] <cool_beans1> so in the tutorial
[21:19] <kuldeepdhaka> ook
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka: install xubuntu and it will look and feel like Gnome2
[21:19] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, I wonder if the usb is toast now, hard to say.
[21:20] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: Oh god no!
[21:20] <ssta> is there a "recommended" way to set /bin/sh to bash (rather than just remaking the symlink)
[21:20] <cool_beans1> kuldeep: sudo apt-get install xorg xterm gdm <put gnome package here> menu firefox gksu synaptic --no-install-recommends
[21:20] <kuldeepdhaka> ActionParsnip: internal memory is only 1GB, i dont think so it will fit on it ----i dont know the intsallation size
[21:20] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, you can if you get a ubuntu cd just instal lilo it will boot windows like it should no menu but straight in.
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka: xubuntu is a smaller install than the gnome install
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> kuldeepdhaka: if you just install openbox it will be even lighter
[21:22] <kuldeepdhaka> can u give me any link to tutorial where i can install ubuntu accroding to my needs
[21:22] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, lilo to the mbr not windows just so you know.
[21:22] <ssta>  hmm, /bin/sh isn't in the alternatives framework?
[21:22] <Seveas> ssta, no, /bin/sh is the bourne shell
[21:22] <cool_beans1> kuldeepdhaka: I don't think there's any tutorial which will specifically address only your needs, you're going to have to read, mix and match
[21:23] <kuldeepdhaka> ook
[21:23] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: you'll facepalm: I was just not hitting the "apply actions" button in easeus :p
[21:23] <ssta> Seveas: I know what it is.  I'm looking to set it to bash rather than dash.  If there isn't a "right" way to do that I'll just repoint the symlink by hand.  I would have thought there'd be a more robust mechanism though
[21:23] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, easy mistake, much better then a toasted thumb. :)
[21:24] <haux> How do you change the workgroup in xubuntu?
[21:24] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: hahaha, so true!
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> haux: edit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[21:25] <haux> ActionParsnip, Do I have to have samba installed for this?
[21:25] <haux> When I type "samba", it says it's not installed.
[21:25] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, do you know the commands to reload the mbr from the repair on the W7 disc the autorepiar will probably not work?
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> haux: its in the default install (no samba)
[21:26] <JonDenomme> hello, could somebody help me?
[21:26] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, here they are for you if needed. http://paste.ubuntu.com/813664/
[21:26] <haux> ActionParsnip, ok, the the reason I asked is because I was trying to restart the service without having to restart Ubuntu, but all of the commands I was able to find had to do with samba, which I don't have
[21:27] <JonDenomme> is anybody good with trouble shooting installation?
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> JonDenomme: with some details, maybe
[21:27] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, you may just need the BootRec.exe /fixmbr only but it helps to have the whole set
[21:28] <eponymousgr> hi
[21:28] <war10ck_> !ru
[21:29] <JonDenomme> well, I'm currently trying to install Ubuntu server off of a USB, and on the boot menu, the only option working is the help option, which tells me to go here
[21:29] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: Did not know that. Will have to read through! Thanks :)
[21:29] <urfr332gO> war10ck_, please read the freenode commands for getting private messages. :)
[21:29] <urfr332gO> cool_beans1, no problem it is a common mistake for people to remove grub before reloading the MS boot.
[21:30] <jeagle> Anyone familiar with this ghost script error: "Can't find CID font "Univers"."
[21:31] <scorpion> i need to install limewire, but i have this problem: Error: La dependencia no se puede satisfacer: sun-java6-jre|icedtea-java7-jre|sun-java6-jdk|icedtea-java7-jdk
[21:31] <JonDenomme> ok, i'm trying to install ubuntu server off of USB, and it gave me an error "This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - -please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU"
[21:32] <scorpion> what I can do??
[21:32] <cool_beans1> urfr332gO: Alright, I think I'm all set - appreciate your help. I'm going to give this a go, and hopefully it all works out okay. See you on the other side!
[21:33] <JonDenomme> i'm trying to install ubuntu server off of USB, and it gave me an error "This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - -please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU"
[21:33] <JonDenomme> andbody know what this means?
[21:34] <archels> ActionParsnip: it only seems to show up in some occasions, like in nano and password entry, but not at the bash console prompt
[21:34] <ssta> JonDenomme: means you have a 64bit installer and your CPU isn't 64bit
[21:34] <JonDenomme> ssta, thanks, i'll try the 32-bit then
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> scorpion: I have a script to install java but it will not install a package, so the install will still ask for java
[21:37] <scorpion> i have java installed, but when i do the install this is the message: Error: La dependencia no se puede satisfacer: sun-java6-jre|icedtea-java7-jre|sun-java6-jdk|icedtea-java7-jdk
[21:37] <subthalamus> scorpion: you installed sun-java6-jre package?
[21:37] <MonkeyDust> scorpion  sun-java is no longer adviced

[21:39] <subthalamus> scorpion: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[21:39] <chown_> guys, i made a script which mounts my networks partitions at my ubuntu. the problem is i wanted to run it every login, but mount is just for sudo, and i have to type sudo password every command at the script. is there a better solution? pastebin.com/JsnSUrER

[21:39] <scorpion> I have this installed: OPEN JDK java 6 run time
[21:40] <zhuang> does anyone here use wmfs?
[21:41] <zhuang> for any windows manager different from the default, after installation, it has to be configured before it'll work, yes?
[21:42] <subthalamus> zhuang: some packages will configure it for u but probably not wmfs
[21:42] <horlepiep> Hi guys. How can I find out what my current terminal position is on the command line?
[21:42] <ssta> horlepiep: terminal position?
[21:42] <biopyte> hi, today i upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10. using ubuntu for several years now, i think this is the worst release ever. anyway, just one question: video qualtity decreased significantly using vlc or movie player and intel onboard graphics. any idea to make an improvement?
[21:42] <horlepiep> Yes, The position on the screen.
[21:42] <zhuang> subthalamus, do you happen to know if scrotwm configures it for you?
[21:43] <archels> So I'm getting this ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@ across my terminal for no apparent reason, any ideas?
[21:43] <user__> 1
[21:43] <subthalamus> zhuang: I don't, but I hardly think u should pick your window manager according to whether it does this automatically for u or not...!
[21:44] <Neptu> hej how i get the sources of the kernel im running into ubuntu??
[21:44] <urfr332gO> archels, stuck keys?
[21:44] <subthalamus> zhuang: what exactly are you trying to accomplish? just a lightweight window manager?
[21:44] <horlepiep> ssta: I want to have my terminal open at a specific plocation on the screen.
[21:44] <archels> urfr332gO: nope, it persists if I unplug the keyboard
[21:44] <zykotick9> zhuang: i doubt scrotwm is autoconfigured (it technically should be though).  One option might be to stop your DM and use "startx" after configuring the proper exec line in .xinitrc
[21:44] <zhuang> Yes, ideally tiling.
[21:44] <ssta> horlepiep: you'd have to do funky stuff with ANSI escape sequences for that
[21:44] <subthalamus> zhuang: pick one and make it happen
[21:45] <zhuang> lol i'm trying. It's my first time using linux though. :S
[21:45] <urfr332gO> archels, maybe you been pwnd, just joking here.
[21:45] <zhuang> i'm trying to configure WMFS but I've no idea.
[21:45] <subthalamus> zhuang: which ubuntu version u running?
[21:45] <archels> urfr332gO: fresh install
[21:45] <zhuang> 11.10
[21:45] <zhuang> i'm using a gnome classic shell
[21:45] <horlepiep> ssta: isn't there any command that will show its location?
[21:45] <subthalamus> zhuang: so you just need to config lightdm
[21:46] <ssta> horlepiep: oh, you want the WINDOW at a specific position...you can do that by passing -geometry options to it I think
[21:46] <archels> amd64 11.10 by the way
[21:46] <Gnea> Okay, when I install evince-gtk, why does dpkg insist on removing ubuntu-desktop? This is retarded...
[21:46] <MonkeyDust> horlepiep  http://forums.opensuse.org/programming-scripting/434256-get-cursor-position-bash-script.html
[21:46] <zhuang> why would I want to do that?
[21:46] <urfr332gO> archels, never heard of this I doubt any others have very strange
[21:47] <horlepiep> Well yeah, I know that. But how do I find out the current position of my xterm window?
[21:47] <ssta> horlepiep: xwininfo
[21:47] <horlepiep> ssta: thank :)
[21:47] <MonkeyDust> ah, the window itself
[21:47] <zykotick9> Gnea: breaking some of the underlying meta-packages is a huge pain.  good luck (it is possible somehow by marking all packages as manually installed)
[21:48] <ssta> I think so MonkeyDust...although I'm still not sure :)

[21:49] <ksus_> !list
[21:50] <Uncle|Sam> its not a warez space ...

[21:50] <urfr332gO> Uncle|Sam, with a google of Could not get next bucket brigade "I see from apache bugs to firewall problems.
[21:51] <zhuang> ah, so to use WMFS, i'd have to configure lightdm first?
[21:51] <subthalamus> zhuang: well, u said u already installed wmfs right?
[21:51] <Uncle|Sam> i googled this problem but dont get an answer. I am currently not using a firewall for testing so i have no idea :(
[21:52] <subthalamus> zhuang: next u just have to tell lightdm to load it
[21:52] <zhuang> yes, i haven't configured it, but i have installed it.
[21:52] <zhuang> i see.
[21:52] <zhuang> how would I go about doing that? :S
