[15:34] <Ken> Client side, right? Specific software needed or can you connect like a normal file server? (i..e like one on the network) aetaric.
[15:34] <papul> trism, waited and it completed
[15:34] <aetaric> you can connect to network software
[15:34] <aetaric> like...
[15:34] <papul> trism, now updating chrome :)
[15:34] <trism> papul: yeah it will, it is just really slow
[15:34] <aetaric> it is like hamachi
[15:35] <Golden_Kumquat> I can dual-boot into Windows, so it's only Ubuntu which is having that problem
[15:35] <Ken> Thank you again, Aetaric. Sorry for all the newbie questions.
[15:35] <aetaric> np
[15:35] <Ken> I'm a little more clued in on the directions I need to go. I think openVPN might actually be more useful than LDAP server.
[15:35] <papul> please suggest a good lightweight browser. firefox is too heavy for me
[15:36] <Ken> Papul, try Lynx.
[15:36] <Voort> Ken, actually ...
[15:36] <Ken> Yes Voort?
[15:36] <papul> Ken, lol its cmd
[15:36] <Voort> well, not exactly sure what you want to do
[15:36] <Ken> I was mostly kidding Papul. I use firefox but it is interesting. I think I used epiphany and it worked okay.
[15:36] <Voort> don't know if vpn would be an option for file sharing
[15:37] <papul> Ken, i found one named midori
[15:37] <papul> installing it
[15:37] <Voort> I use ssh and certificates to connect to my server for the most secure connection
[15:37] <papul> trism, how to add the ppa?
[15:37] <aetaric> Voort: it woul let him do it safely over the internet
[15:37] <dewman> Hello everyone. I am trying to find some information on getting the latest version of w_scan installed. But I am not sure how to get it compiled. If someone could take a quick look at the webpage and give me an idea on what I should do that would be fantastic!
[15:37] <aetaric> !compile > dewman
[15:38] <Ken> Sorry Voort. I have a few things I want to do and they may not be possible. Basically remote file sharing to users with the right authenticion (kind of like FTP) that anyone with the username and password can map as a shared folder to their computer. I was going to do it internally in my LAN but as practice before I allow it to open over the internet.
[15:38] <Voort> aetaric: true but would it let him really do "filesharing" or would it be more like and ftp site?
[15:38] <Ken> I want to access all my files from any work station.
[15:38] <papul> guys how to add ppa?
[15:38] <erUSUL> !ppa | papul
[15:38] <Voort> well, it sounds like you are on the right track Ken
[15:38] <Kathi> !compile > Kathi
[15:38] <m0ar> I've got a wierd problem, every time I start ubuntu my web browser launches. It's not in my autostart and I do not save my session on logout
[15:39] <Ken> I really appreciate the help. Thank you.
[15:39] <Voort> Ken, good luck
[15:39] <dewman> aetaric, thanks. =)
[15:39] <aetaric> np
[15:39] <Golden_Kumquat> I hate to sound annoying, but it would be nice if I could get some sort of responce to my problem, as otherwise I don't have much use to keep it around
[15:39] <veleno> hello. is it possible to avoid for a given user (which is already in the sudoers list)   to type the sudo password ?
[15:39] <erUSUL> Golden_Kumquat: is a wubi install ? or a normal one ?
[15:39] <newbee2> ubuntu dont detect my dvd drive dmesg and messeges dvd is missing anyone knows how to solve it?
[15:40] <crawler> Golden_Kumquat: might possibly be bad RAM module...try running memtest?
[15:40] <Golden_Kumquat> I ran memtest without a problem
[15:40] <Golden_Kumquat> What's the difference between a wubi install and a normal install?
[15:41] <hwilde> !wubi
[15:41] <Golden_Kumquat> I just did a normal installation
[15:41] <aetaric> Golden_Kumquat: wubi is saved to a file
[15:41] <erUSUL> Golden_Kumquat: how/when that started happening ?
[15:41] <autoclesis> a wubi install isn't as feature-rich as a full install, right?
[15:42] <newbee2> dvd drive not listed cant use it
[15:42] <Golden_Kumquat> I installed it last night
[15:42] <Ken> Alright, thanks again for the help.
[15:42] <Ken> Bye.
[15:42] <Golden_Kumquat> I was able to use it initially
[15:42] <Golden_Kumquat> But then it froze, so I force shut down and tried to restart
[15:42] <Golden_Kumquat> And I got that error
[15:43] <abhi_nav> autoclesis, yah right
[15:43] <erUSUL> Golden_Kumquat: i would boot into a livecd session to check the disk/partitions for errors
[15:43] <frosty_> ?
[15:43] <frosty_> did i lag?
[15:43] <frosty_> ;o
[15:43] <frosty_> ah there we go
[15:43] <FloodBot1> frosty_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:43] <Golden_Kumquat> Okay, how would I figure that out?
[15:43] <omkar> hey arvind
[15:44] <hwilde> Golden_Kumquat, have you tried to fix grub ?
[15:44] <omkar> I have made the changes so now i will have to open the webpage to runt he script right

[15:44] <Golden_Kumquat> I haven't edited it at all
[15:44] <omkar> http://localhost/home/user/cgi-bin/test.pl
[15:44] <omkar> is it
[15:44] <Golden_Kumquat> It worked once
[15:45] <hwilde> Golden_Kumquat, when it says unknown block does it say like (0,0)  or maybe (0,1)
[15:45] <Golden_Kumquat> Um, I'll need to restart  it
[15:45] <hwilde> Golden_Kumquat, I think it's just looking for the wrong partition
[15:45] <papul> omkar, plz check my private msg
[15:45] <hwilde> Golden_Kumquat, since it says unknown block
[15:46] <doseryder> In karmic, why is it that everytime I connect (ssh) to my ubuntu box the motd resets to the default message EVEN AFTER I"VE CHANGED IT

[15:47] <abhi_nav> airco, you can use tar with command prompt to zip i.e. compress and uncompress
[15:47] <ndrs> i have a problem, after installing windows under xubuntu i had a problem with grub that i couldnt load linux. i fixed that and now can't load windows. could some1 tell me how to config grub to load windows ?

[15:50] <Ichat> can anyone help me,  setup a headless torrent(client) -server
[15:50] <aetaric> grub is silly and starts counting with 0
[15:50] <Sebboh> Greetings.  I would like a bit torrent client more featureful than Transmission.  Any recommendations?  I'd like better control over featuers like local peer discovery and such. (My roommate had some files half done, and Transmission never did let me use him as a non-throttled peer...)
[15:50] <aetaric> Ichat: sudo apt-get install rtorrent libtorrent

[15:51] <unimatrix> how do i tell grub to boot a live dvd ?
[15:52] <jellow>  Sebboh , Also there is µtorrent in wine
[15:52] <jasonop8> Sebboh, try ktorrent, or utorrent in wine
[15:52] <abhi_nav> unimatrix, you dont need to tell this to grub, you need to tell this to bios of you pc
[15:52] <jasonop8> utorrent is faster, ktorrent has more to offer, as far as I know.
[15:53] <unimatrix> abhi_nav: i would if it could boot the damn thing
[15:53] <erUSUL> Sebboh: deluge
[15:53] <thom_> emperor15
[15:53] <abhi_nav> unimatrix, you just enable boot from cd in your bios. thats it
[15:53] <Myrtti> nathanbdot: have you tried searching for faster repositories?
[15:53] <aetaric> Ichat: rtorrent works great run under screen

[15:55] <abhi_nav> unimatrix, either your pc or cd drive or the dvds have problem
[15:55] <ct529> hi huys! who packages eclipse for ubuntu? the eclipse.ini file can do with some cleaning up .... there are many things declared twice with the same values
[15:55] <unimatrix> abhi_nav: yes, but i still need to boot the dvd, and i wanna know if grub can do it

[15:56] <Ichat> aetaric:  -  could you help me to set it up  from start
[15:56] <Sebboh> ct529, there are a lot of known issues with the eclipse package.  It's slowly getting better, but if you are a serious dev, you might consider using a stand-alone installation of the JDT from eclipse.org.
[15:56] <aetaric> Ichat: hold on, i'll pastebin my config
[15:56] <nathanbdot> Myrtti: ya, as I stated, I've already done that -- and that's the server it gave me...
[15:56] <edbian> abhi_nav, Have you tried that in the newest Ubuntu (9.10)  the feature to change the theme has been disabled because GDM was re-written and they had to drop that feature.
[15:57] <abhi_nav> edbian, no not treid in 9.10
[15:57] <Ichat> aetaric:  -  i fear that i need a bit more than that ...
[15:57] <abhi_nav> edbian, i m using 9.10
[15:57] <nathanbdot> Myrtti: I did it again and it's better (50 to 100kb/s) but would still like to download faster than that...
[15:57] <edbian> abhi_nav, Yeah, it sucks.  You can't edit the GDM theme anymore...
[15:57] <Travis-42> I only need a swap partition if I want to suspend-to-disk, right?

[16:01] <Eighteens> im trying to install ubuntu 9.01 32bit, and it gets like 58 - 65% of the install and fails, it keeps saying to burn the disc at a lower speed, or the drive is bad... ive tried reburning, even at a slower speed, still fails... anyone got comments that may help overcome this issue
[16:01] <jellow> byprens: I don't understand girs. Could you describe your problem Or take it to !ot
[16:02] <abhi_nav> Eighteens, check if this cd have any error
[16:02] <jellow> Eighteens: Did you run checksum on iso ? Try diffrent cd ?
[16:03] <Myrtti> nathanbdot: you could always try to add an additional repository to your sources.list, but I doubt it would help. The repos are usually on very fast servers and if those speeds are what you are getting, the problem is more likely to be the speed of your internet, and it throttling you, than the output the repositories can give
[16:03] <jellow> Eighteens: There are also usb installers if all else fails.
[16:03] <Eighteens> yes i did a reburn with a new cd, even tried it on a dvd, in another drive, i ran memtest, and had ubuntu check the disc, all said good
[16:03] <nathanbdot> Myrtti: thanks :)
[16:03] <Eighteens> oh like get the image and put on a flash drive?
[16:04] <ct529> Sebboh: thanks .... yes, I try to use the base installtion from the repository and everything else by hand, just because if you do not do that, it tends to have problems ....

[16:05] <jm_> hi, can I change the language  during runtime linux?
[16:05] <Galaxor> Hello.  Anybody here used ncpfs?  I'm trying to mount a netware drive.  I'm trying to mount it using UDP.  The manpage says that if I use ncplogin -A host, then it should work in UDP mode.  But I'm looking on wireshark, and I see no attempt to use UDP.
[16:05] <michael_> How do I search the file system for the occurrence of a string in a file name?
[16:06] <sobczyk> michael_, find <where> -name "*string*"
[16:06] <coz_> michael_,    grep “text string to search” directory-path
[16:07] <Eighteens> thanks i found it guys :)
[16:07] <abhi_nav> :)
[16:07] <Galaxor> Instead of trying to use UDP, I definitely see attempts to use IPX, when viewing the strace output.  socket(PF_IPX, SOCK_DGRAM, [PF_IPX]) -- this does not look like the actions of a program that's trying to use UDP instead of IPX.
[16:07] <chas1066> does anyone know how to do a diagnostic on a usb drive that is taking process or time but not showing up on the desktop?
[16:07] <coz_> michael_,  or  grep -r  "text string" /home/tom
[16:07] <jm_> Na dann mal ein Versuch auf deutsch: Kann ich die Sprache zur Laufzeit des Systems wechseln?
[16:07] <Madwill> it must be possible to uninstall flash! since i've installed it firefox crash on any encounter
[16:08] <coz_> michael_,  or for just the filenames   grp -H -r "searchstring" /home/tom
[16:08] <nathanbdot> Myrtti: is there any way that it will check to see if any other computer on my network has already downloaded the updates?
[16:08] <billy_jone> i had firefox crash on account of flash
[16:08] <michael_> coz_, thanks.
[16:09] <nathanbdot> Myrtti: That way it just transfers via the network instead of http (faster)
[16:09] <coz_> michael_,  work for you?
[16:09] <Madwill> i hate flash !
[16:09] <michael_> coz_, sure did.
[16:09] <Eighteens> also when i tried to install ubuntu on this system i was speaking of, it installed beside a windows os, after reboot, it wouldnt go into windows :) eww the customer mad at me....
[16:09] <Madwill> and i'm a flex coders which is quite wrong
[16:09] <coz_> michael_,  very cool :)
[16:09] <billy_jone> if you need to fixs it it normaly works for me if you remove the ~/.adobe dir off your home directory
[16:10] <coz_> michael_,  you might want to take a look at the grep commands here   http://www.computerhope.com/unix/ugrep.htm

[16:12] <deanus> Any way I can redirect pulseaudio output to a file?
[16:12] <deanus> actual audio I mean, not debugging etc
[16:13] <sean_> is the output itself audio? or is it PCM data?
[16:13] <sean_> or some kind of fourier data?
[16:14] <pierut> o=
[16:14] <Travis-42> hardcampa: not sure that would result in the ssd being properly aligned. do you know?
[16:14] <hardcampa> Travis-42, fyi I looked around and found some guidelines for ya http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/ddcommand.htm
[16:14] <deanus> its audio, that I just wanna capture to a fil

[16:14] <hardcampa> Travis-42, hmm not sure.. been a good long time since I needed to use dd myself
[16:14] <sean_> there are apps for this in the repository.
[16:15] <martines> Is there somebody who can help me with a nfs problem?
[16:15] <sean_> if it's just audio capturing you want to do... do a few searches for "audio capture debian" and you'll probably find something
[16:15] <Travis-42> deanus: i'll check that out too, thanks

[16:36] <Golden_Kumquat> Where do I go to edit GRUB?

[16:36] <sine`> hi guys. is there a cli mail client
[16:36] <hwilde> pine
[16:36] <blakkheim> sine`: mutt, mailx, pine
[16:37] <sine`> ok cool
[16:37] <genii> WHiRO: Are you using:   ./configure --with-lua-include=/usr/include/lua5.1/        or:   configure --with-lua-include=path                  ?
[16:38] <WHiRO> first one
[16:38] <WHiRO> it says can't find Lua in $PATH
[16:38] <Golden_Kumquat> I don't seem to have a /boot/grub/menu.lst
[16:38] <Golden_Kumquat> Does it matter that I'm running on a live CD?
[16:39] <abhi_nav> !grub2 > Golden_Kumquat
[16:39] <\ottizen> ./teeworlds_srv: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlcppconn.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[16:39] <\ottizen> What does that menas?
[16:39] <\ottizen> means*
[16:40] <nathanbdot> Real quick, I forgot how to search apt-cache for package names.  eg:  apt-cache search google
[16:40] <\ottizen> nathanbdot: aptitude search name
[16:40] <blakkheim> ^
[16:40] <nathanbdot> \ottizen: oh. could have sworn it was apt-cache.  thanks!!
[16:41] <toastedmilk> I installed apache2 via "ubuntu" means.. and removed the 'index.html' file in /var/www/ ,so how do I get my localhost to load a page in the directory instead of showing a list of all pages?
[16:41] <Golden_Kumquat> All I see is a file called grubenv, which is a bunch of #s
[16:41] <nathanbdot> \ottizen: hmm... i'm not finding it and i know it's there... is there also a way to search apt-cache?
[16:41] <GodfatherofEire1> How do I invoke the shell for grub2?
[16:41] <\ottizen> nathanbdot: aptitude update first, then search :)
[16:41] <hwilde> Golden_Kumquat, you have to mount your harddrive and then look there
[16:41] <\ottizen> nathanbdot: name of the package, version of your ubuntu?
[16:42] <nathanbdot> 9.10 - google-chrome-unstable (that's what I thought it was but it's not working)
[16:43] <\ottizen> nathanbdot: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=13907a5a6c537d10&hl=en
[16:43] <switchgirl> !Bddadr
[16:43] <switchgirl> !bdadr
[16:43] <nathanbdot> \ottizen: that's not related... i'm trying to install it, not update it
[16:44] <\ottizen> nathanbdot: hmm, then i sadly don't know :/
[16:44] <\ottizen> nathanbdot: can't find it either
[16:45] <Blackice115> How do you find files that you've downloaded from a website? Is there a general search on ubuntu?
[16:45] <\ottizen> nathanbdot: i think you have to add some repo
[16:46] <nathanbdot> \ottizen: Thanks :)
[16:46] <nhak> how can i know the tpye file system of a usb stick ?
[16:46] <nhak> type*
[16:46] <mickster04> Blackice115: if you go to tools>options of your browser it shows u where it download sthings to
[16:46] <\ottizen> nathanbdot: /etc/apt/sources.list
[16:46] <\ottizen> nathanbdot: then, apt-get update before installing
[16:46] <toastedmilk> I installed apache2 via "ubuntu" means.. and removed the 'index.html' file in /var/www/ ,so how do I get my localhost to load a page in the directory instead of showing a list of all pages?
[16:46] <mickster04> nhak: if you go to system monitor it shows file systems i thought?
[16:47] <jellow> Blackice115: There is the search tool in nautilus , All stuff gets saved in /home/username
[16:47] <mickster04> toastedmilk: put and index.html
[16:47] <mickster04> an*
[16:47] <mickster04> toastedmilk: you have to have a index.* for it to load
[16:47] <nathanbdot> \ottizen: I have all the default repos...
[16:47] <Blackice115> Thank you both for your help. :)
[16:47] <mickster04> toastedmilk: you can set apache to not show anything in folders without an index..html
[16:47] <toastedmilk> mickster04: thank you sir!
[16:48] <nhak> mickster04, can you explain it clearer ?
[16:48] <mickster04> toastedmilk: how are you gonamake websites?
[16:48] <toastedmilk> mickster04: Geany
[16:48] <sine`> guys what does this mean: Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: libldap2 (>= 2.1.17-1)
[16:48] <toastedmilk> mickster04: Oh, php and javascript
[16:48] <Madwill> anyone else think BUM is bugged
[16:48] <orb01> hi, my flash player broke after installing science-biology, all other audio still works
[16:48] <\ottizen> nathanbdot: i think google have its own repo
[16:48] <mickster04> and you didnt know about the index.* thing?
[16:48] <fabio333> why not a good web framework
[16:48] <fabio333> still php?
[16:49] <nathanbdot> \ottizen: I did it before w/o setting up any special repo...
[16:49] <\ottizen> hmm
[16:49] <\ottizen> then i have no idea
[16:49] <\ottizen> i'm a noob on this too
[16:50] <armor-64> hi i habe one proble!i want to remove the programs that are in applications in wine!how can i do it?
[16:50] <Blackice115> Is there an easy way to set up two linux distro live cd's on a usb stick?
[16:50] <Golden_Kumquat> My grub file is at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/phYsY6ZH and my Linux partition is at /dev/sda5. Apparently it's booting to the wrong partition or something, and I can't seem to see where it's going wrong
[16:50] <mickster04> nhak: hang on a sec
[16:51] <mickster04> Blackice115: look into loopback with grub2
 wine uninstaller
[16:51] <abhi_nav> Blackice115, partition that pen drive in to two and have each distro on differnet partition using unetbootin
[16:51] <nathanbdot> \ottizen: no problem :) Thanks for trying to help!
[16:51] <mickster04> abhi_nav: you cant partition pen drives
[16:51] <mickster04> abhi_nav: not last time i checked
[16:51] <xisco> Hola
[16:51] <armor-64> fabio333, i try it but the files are still there
[16:51] <abhi_nav> mickster04, we can format it in two partitions
[16:51] <nhak> hmm i just want to mount my usb stick, and need its type of file system to use mount ... but dont know what it is
 so if it wont work delete those files
[16:52] <bipolar> Has anyone used preseed to automate an install with an encrypted disk? I'm having trouble with the partitioner telling me "no root file system" when I set 'd-i partman-auto/method string crypto' in the preseed file. Documentation seems to be almost non-existent for this.
[16:52] <jellow> nhak: sudo fdisk -l , Will list all usbs
[16:53] <Golden_Kumquat> Specifically, I get a kernel panic error whenever I boot up into Ubuntu (but not Windows)
[16:53] <Futureproof> hey guys
[16:53] <Madwill> whoohoo find a way to log boot and might finally get an idea of WHY apache2 and tomcat wont start on boot
[16:53] <mickster04> nhak: you dont have a ui?
[16:53] <abhi_nav> mickster04, yes we can see this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent it clearly says that to creat two partitions
[16:53] <Futureproof> I just ordered a nice pcmcia wireless card (atheros chipset) on ebay
[16:53] <armor-64> fabio333, i can't!dunno but i dont have such a choice
[16:53] <Madwill> until now statup has only been voodoo to me...
[16:54] <fabio333> armor-64>: why not? you can't delete those files in the .wine folder?
[16:54] <nhak> mickster04, i want to do it manually
[16:54] <mickster04> abhi_nav: awesome:D will do that later:D
[16:55] <abhi_nav> ok mickster04  :D
[16:55] <treesloth> hey, if I shrink a partition by cutting off some of the end, I should still be able to run undelete on it right?
[16:55] <mickster04> nhak: well how can u see it before mounting it?
[16:55] <nathanbdot> \ottizen: fyi, i just downloaded the .deb from here: http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel
[16:56] <Travis-42> If I move multiple partitions from an hdd to ssd, I need the partitions to have a special alignment for the ssd, so I can't just copy them with dd. is there a way to do this that results in the correct alignment?
[16:56] <armor-64> fabio333, no i mean applications<wine<Programs<(the files i don't want)
[16:56] <ucenik03> laksjdlkj
[16:56] <nathanbdot> \ottizen: not ideal, but it'll work
[16:57] <armor-64> fabio333, tha's what i want to delete!and i can't....
[16:57] <nigelb> I find that I'm loosing around 40 GB of harddisk space that is supposed to be /home
 you mean just the menu?
[16:57] <nigelb> I find that I'm loosing around 40 GB of harddisk space that is supposed to be /home, but all that is still there in /home only its under the / partition
[16:57] <nigelb> which means / is almost full
[16:57] <nigelb> anyway to solve this?
[16:58] <nathanbdot> \ottizen: thanks again :) I'm off for the night!  Peace all!
[16:58] <linmiketu> Hi guys... can anyone help me out with creating a bootable USB install disk for ubuntu 9.10. I need to create the disk on my Mac, but am installing it on a PC.
[16:58] <armor-64> fabio333, yes!sorry i say it wrong!
 so use alacarte
[16:58] <Golden_Kumquat> Does anyone here know how to deal with grub.cfg?
[16:59] <jellow> nigelb: Resize /home/ or use symlinks
[16:59] <armor-64> fabio333, in terminal?
 when you install stuff under wine there are also things in the .local folder (s. icons etc)
[16:59] <nigelb> jellow: I feel /home is not being mounted properly
 yes or jyst right click on the Application menu
[16:59] <mobytech> anyone knows why although i have successfully installed age of empires 2, system and game itself hangs while geting to play?
[16:59] <jellow> nigelb: Is /home mounted ?
[17:00] <mobytech> home ?
[17:00] <nigelb> jellow: it seems to be, but I dont see the amount of disk space as I should
[17:00] <homovitruvius> I'm going insane: on my fresh 9.10 install Shift-Backspace causes logout to the gdm login screen. My shortcuts don't mention that key binding and I've set Log Out to Disabled. Where that comes from? It is too near to some Emacs binding and I keep finding myself logged out. HELP! thx
[17:00] <Golden_Kumquat> Is there a place where I could get help with Ubuntu?
[17:00] <armor-64> fabio333,thanks man for the help!
[17:00] <nigelb> jellow: I can access the data, but total amount of memory is less than expected
[17:01] <animanegra> close
[17:01] <mickster04> !minimal > mickster04
[17:02] <mickster04> so how big is the minial install?
[17:02] <mickster04> it doesnt actually say:/
[17:02] <blakkheim> mickster04: bigger than you'd expect :(
[17:02] <blakkheim> mickster04: still some stuff to remove from it but it's much much better than the bloated desktop install
[17:04] <mickster04> ok
[17:04] <linmiketu> can anyone help me out with creating a bootable USB install disk for ubuntu 9.10. I need to create the disk on my Mac, but am installing it on a PC.
[17:04] <Golden_Kumquat> Would someone be willing to help me figure out what's wrong with GRUB?
[17:04] <KB1JWQ> Golden_Kumquat: But certainly!
[17:05] <KB1JWQ> Golden_Kumquat: Pray tell, what be thy issue?
[17:05] <Golden_Kumquat> I'm getting a kernel panic error whenever I try to book up Ubuntu
[17:05] <KB1JWQ> linmiketu: I virtualized a Ubuntu instance and ran unetbootin because I'm lazy.
[17:05] <Hattory> hi all... I'm trying to change the position of the metacity bottons from left to right. How can I do that? with gconf-editor or what?
[17:05] <Golden_Kumquat> Apparently it's probably something with GRUB
[17:05] <KB1JWQ> Golden_Kumquat: Okay, is this a new install?
[17:05] <Golden_Kumquat> Yeah
[17:05] <Hattory> when I change values in gconf-editor, nothing happens....
[17:05] <KB1JWQ> Golden_Kumquat: What's it panicking on?
[17:06] <GodfatherofEire1> Could I get some help setting up grub (legacy) on a USB drive? I need it to mount/boot a raw .iso image but I cant take the time to run the commands at each startup. So I need it in a menu. Any ideas?
[17:06] <Madwill> can anyone help i'm sort of desperate
[17:06] <Madwill> bootup log shows : (Nothing has been logged yet.)
[17:06] <KB1JWQ> GodfatherofEire1: Looked into unetbootin?
[17:06] <GodfatherofEire1> KB1JWQ, its multiple iso's off of one flash
[17:07] <Golden_Kumquat> "kernel panic - not syncing: VFS unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0, 0)
[17:07] <deanus> Golden_Kumquat, http://psychoticspoon.blogspot.com/2009/01/booting-multiple-livecds-from-single.html   this is a lot easier.
[17:07] <jasonop8> wow, xp has some seriously screwed up admin graphics..
[17:07] <Madwill> i need apache2 and tomcat to start on boot and whatever script i make whoever owns the script with all permission by update-rc.d or Boot up manger it never start
[17:07] <KB1JWQ> GodfatherofEire1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=992426
[17:07] <Madwill> both services works perfectly when started manually just not at boot
[17:07] <[Raiden]> mickster04: minimal install ~300mb (alternate cd)
[17:07] <linmiketu> KB1JWQ: that sounds like the complicated way!   I just borrowed it. :-)
[17:08] <KB1JWQ> linmiketu: Easy fix? liveCD.
[17:08] <linmiketu> KB1JWQ: I see.
[17:08] <coz_> Golden_Kumquat,  you want to dual boot?
[17:08] <ubutom> Hey,I'm just installing 9.10 to an old PC. Kinda painful. 1st the usb keyboard isn't recognized on boot-time, then it goes into live-mode and it is so very slow...
[17:08] <GodfatherofEire1> KB1JWQ, thing is, thats for the grub on the PC. I need it on the flash drive itself
[17:08] <KB1JWQ> linmiketu: Or wait.  Disk Utility can do it too.
[17:09] <Golden_Kumquat> coz_, yeah
[17:09] <coz_> Golden_Kumquat, so I assume you have windows  xp or vista or 7 on there right now?
[17:09] <linmiketu> KB1JWQ: really... I was messing with that, but it was asking me to insert a disc. Wasn't quite sure how to get it to burn the image to usb.
[17:09] <KB1JWQ> GodfatherofEire1: Okay http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/01/installing-grub-in-usb-flash-drive-2.html
[17:09] <OrionMan> hi

[17:11] <DarkStar1> evening people
[17:11] <linmiketu> abhi_nav: thanks, but that doesn't tell me how to create a bootable PC image from mac, the image created from the mac is only bootable on a mac.
[17:11] <blakkheim> linmiketu: so make the image with a real os
[17:11] <Blackice115> woah....
[17:12] <abhi_nav> linmiketu, hmmm
[17:12] <Golden_Kumquat> Also, FWIW, this is my grub.cfg file: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/phYsY6ZH
[17:12] <Mkools> How to configure dhcpd?
[17:12] <DarkStar1> Is there a standard gui tool that will do a more complete job of removing a user than the one that comes with Kharmic? (i.e. also remove the user's home directories e.t.c.)
[17:13] <blakkheim> DarkStar1: xterm -e man userdel
[17:14] <DarkStar1> blakkheim: Thanks. That looks like a CLI command
[17:14] <blakkheim> DarkStar1: it is
[17:15] <Gieke> hello, is it possible to automaticly mount smb://carlos/gedeeld/
[17:16] <glassresistor> so i've been using screen for years and moved to byobu cause i like it but the one problem is that the passphrases i have saved in my keyring arnt accessable in byobu
[17:16] <blakkheim> Gieke: yes, with fstab
[17:16] <glassresistor> so i have to keep typing them in instead of just once
[17:16] <DarkStar1> blakkheim: I wanted a gui tool. I usually prefer a GUI tool over CLI for hardly used command/functions
[17:16] <glassresistor> any advice?
[17:16] <glassresistor> specifically for rsa keys
[17:16] <Gieke> i actually misstated my question, i knew it was with fstab, i wanted to know what rule i should ad
[17:16] <blakkheim> DarkStar1: a gui isn't needed, it's only one command to remove the user and you can use your gui to delete their home dir if you want
[17:16] <Gieke> add*
[17:17] <DShepherd> is there a way to use apt-get or aptitude and preview the updates available

[17:17] <blakkheim> DShepherd: aptitude update; aptitude full-upgrade

[17:19] <linmiketu> blakkheim: I don't know of any real os other than OSX. All the others suck. Windows blows... and linux doesn't work with 75% of hardware, but at least it semi-works after you take a week to configure everything (unlike windows). :)
[17:19] <adrian__> who loves math?
[17:19] <blakkheim> linmiketu: cool story bro, take it to offtopic please

[17:20] <matahari> i was trying to setup a wireless router (sharing mobile internet) using my old laptop. I did it using hostapd, and everythign works quite well. Now i installed apache2 on the router, but entering the address in a client doesn't show up a webpage. I think it is due to forwarding with iptables. I used the iptables settings as described here: http://www.net42.co.uk/os/linux/sharing_3g_with_hostapd.html   Any advice what i shall s

[17:21] <abhi_nav> :)
[17:22] <bhundven> glassresistor: read the man page, and try it. if that doesn't work, then byobu is doing something weird.
[17:22] <Mkools> How to configure dhcpd?
[17:23] <Hattory> hi all... I'm trying to change the position of the metacity bottons from left to right. How can I do that? with gconf-editor or what?  when I change values in gconf-editor, nothing happens...
[17:23] <maciej_> Welcome everyone. I have a problem. I cannot add my computer to ubuntu one. Do you have any idea how to solve this problem?
[17:23] <glassresistor> bhundven: can i access the keyring i've already made with keychain already installed and reading the man
[17:23] <bhundven> Mkools: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DHCPD_-_Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol_Daemon
[17:24] <maciej_> I have ubuntu 9.10
[17:24] <guntbert> maciej_: ask in #ubuntuone please
[17:24] <bhundven> glassresistor: keychain - the program, doesn't actually create keyrings. it just manages them. Basically, it manages ssh-agent and gpg-agent for you.
[17:24] <maciej_> ok thanks guntbert
[17:25] <glassresistor> bhundven: thanks got it working
[17:25] <bhundven> awesome.
[17:25] <OPPressed> I don't know how I lived with a 2D desktop for so long
[17:25] <jugglerbry> hi all
[17:25] <Mkools> bhundven: thats not in English how to get same in English?
[17:26] <bhundven> I'm reading it in english. search the ubuntu wiki for dhcpd
[17:26] <bhundven> albheaekj. your right :-P
[17:26] <bhundven> sorry Mkools
[17:26] <jugglerbry> just wondering if there#s a 'disk cleanup' type thing i can use ? something to claw back any unused disk space ?  used computer janitor, and got a little bit back, but what about thumbnail cache and any 'temp' files etc
[17:26] <bhundven> lemme try again.
[17:27] <researcher1> is there a command or package to convert pdf to word in Ubuntu?
[17:27] <abhi_nav> researcher1, dont know about command but you can do with oo
[17:27] <bhundven> Mkools: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html
[17:28] <researcher1> abhi_nav what this oo?
[17:28] <abhi_nav> researcher1, Open Office
[17:28] <researcher1> oh
[17:28] <ZykoticK9> abhi_nav, are you sure OOo can open PDFs?  I know it can output to PDF, but can it import too?
[17:29] <arand> jugglerbry: bleachbit, but it needs some caution when used (as does CJ)
[17:29] <Mkools> bhundven: I want only that page in English. That was the page I was searching for.
[17:29] <mahound> hello
[17:29] <Mkools> the previous one.
[17:29] <mahound> i installed ubuntu using the safe graphics mode
[17:30] <mahound> and now i'd like to configure the x server in order to use my graphics card
[17:30] <mahound> how can i do that?
[17:30] <jugglerbry> arand, thanks for that.  is bleachbit any good ? where do i need caution ?
[17:30] <animanegra> close
[17:30] <sine`> guys do i need to use sendmail with PINE ?
[17:30] <Vigo> mahound: Xorg.confg, I think. let me look again.
[17:30] <fredfall> Is there a way in Ubuntu to assign a keyboard short cut to maximize a specific program?
[17:31] <sine`> im under the assumption that i can just use pine to read and send emails
[17:31] <researcher1> ZykoticK9 : OO does not import .PDF
[17:31] <glphvgacs> why would a host's fingerprint change (for ssh)? I get this warning that it has
[17:31] <Vigo> !pdf
[17:31] <ZykoticK9> researcher1, i didn't think so
[17:31] <mahound> Vigo: /etc/X11/xorg.conf ? i thought i heard it had been removed in the latest versions :/
[17:31] <arand> jugglerbry: e.g. removing firefox history...
[17:32] <researcher1> ubottu can I install either of these directly by sudo?
[17:32] <jugglerbry> arand, ah right ok, i do that through firefox, so that's covered
[17:32] <ZykoticK9> researcher1, ubottu isn't a real person
[17:32] <Vigo> mahond: Still looking, I was uncertain on that also...
[17:32] <guntbert> somehow the icon for one thumb drive got changed from the "usb symbol" to a "document" - how can I change that icon? - or Where is that icon determined?
[17:33] <Steve[cug]> anyone else experiencing weird video issues in the 10.4 beta?
[17:33] <researcher1> this is strange.ubottu is not a real person? The who replied under that name?
[17:33] <genii> !lucid | Steve[cug]
[17:33] <ZykoticK9> Steve[cug], ask in #ubuntu+1 the lucid support channel

[17:38] <jakelley> I am having issues controlling the fan speed of my nvidia 8800GT video card using nvclock, unable to set the fan speed, does anyone know how to resolve?
[17:38] <Vigo> reasercher1: I like evince, but that is a preference.
[17:38] <lhl_henrylui> I've pressed that button and nothing has happened.
[17:38] <researcher1> whats evince?
[17:38] <Mkools> During installation of dhcp it is saying package dhcp is not available what's must be the problem?
[17:39] <Vigo> !pdf | researcher1
[17:39] <bhundven> Mkools: again. search google for: dhcp3-server ubuntu
[17:39] <epaphus> Does ubuntu support 2 CPU servers ?
[17:39] <bhundven> Mkools: the package is called dhcp3-server
[17:40] <bhundven> epaphus: yes. I have it running on an 8 CPU server.
[17:40] <researcher1> Vigo :What does this mean !pdf?
[17:40] <deostroll> hi does any1 use apc UPS here?
[17:40] <Mkools> bhundven: Basically I have successfully installed dhcp3 server, dhcpd is a daemon for it.
[17:40] <epaphus> bhundven, 8 CPU, or 8 cores?
[17:41] <Vigo> researcher1: I asked ubottu to show you the information.
[17:41] <jakelley> I am having issues controlling the fan speed of my nvidia 8800GT video card using nvclock, unable to set the fan speed, does anyone know how to resolve?
[17:41] <bhundven> epaphus: well, two cpus, 4 cores each
[17:41] <deostroll> or what UPS do you folks usually use?
[17:41] <Pkkann235235> anyone knows how to install a broadband modem ? from a DELL D430
[17:41] <researcher1> ok
[17:41] <lhl_henrylui>  I want to change me system language and I have pressed system/administration/language support but nothing has happened.
[17:41] <epaphus> bhundven, where do you buy such hardware?
[17:41] <denis-k> After an update within the past month, I can't hibernate my netbook any more.. anybody what could cause this?
[17:41] <shubbar> researcher1, pdf came from postscript, a language developed by adobe to communicate with printers
[17:41] <jugglerbry> how simple is it to set up ubuntu desktop to act as a file server ? not looking to do anything complex (yet), just auto mapping drives  etc
[17:41] <bhundven> epaphus: the internet... they have lots of stuff on there!
[17:41] <guntbert> !ot | epaphus
[17:41] <ubutom> lhl_henrylui, have you selected english in the two drop-down menus?
[17:42] <deostroll> !apc
[17:42] <epaphus> ok thanks
[17:42] <bhundven> Mkools: I'm very sure that dhcp3-server comes with dhcpd
[17:42] <Vigo> researcher1: I bookmarked the Ubottu site, is better than playing with the bot in here.
[17:42] <bhundven> Mkools: dpkg -L dhcp3-server | less
[17:42] <ZykoticK9> researcher1, see if "pdfedit - Editor for manipulating PDF documents" can help, or a PDF plugin for OOo http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/pdfimport
[17:42] <deostroll> wht does you have umode +g mean?
[17:42] <denis-k> After an update within the past month, I can't hibernate my netbook any more.. anybody what could cause this?
[17:43] <denis-k> know*
[17:43] <Madwill> by running around my guess is now that nobody really understand anything about ubuntu startup and re-installing with finger crossed seams to be the way
[17:43] <Mkools> bhundven: What does that command do?
[17:43] <bhundven> lists the package contents

[18:13] <bub> out_cold_ vfat system?..Sorry I'm not very techy - no idea what im doing..
[18:13] <Out_Cold_> bub open a terminal and try mount | grep fat
[18:14] <sammy> 1400 people! wow. does anyone have any experience with the various linux kernel image meta packages?
[18:14] <ubutom> ohje, ich glaub die hd ist im arsch
[18:14] <sammy> Out_Cold_: are you defining the root by it's uuid?
[18:14] <ubutom> lol, sorry, was meant for chatscreen ;)
[18:15] <Out_Cold_> sammy which ever is set by server install... but yes i think it is uuid
[18:15] <bub> out_cold_ nothing is happening
[18:15] <jim__> been trying to transcode .avi file to burn on dvd, but not able, any suggestions?

[18:16] <Thyzor> hi im trying ubuntu atm liking it ... just wondering how it is in the long run _
[18:16] <Thyzor> ?
[18:16] <Thyzor> how are your guys oppinions
[18:16] <Out_Cold_> Thyzor some debian systems can run for years without a reboot or crash
[18:16] <nuk> it will not let you down
[18:16] <jim__> no I haven't, but will, thank you
[18:16] <guntbert> Thyzor: don't take polls here please
[18:16] <Thyzor> ok
[18:16] <Out_Cold_> nuk i disagree... it will let you down if you can't get past the limitations of winblows
[18:17] <jim__> is that downloaded or already in the distr?
[18:17] <babu__> when i try to install uget ,it shows already installed.....but when i type that cmd, it shows cmd not found
[18:17] <ubutom> Thyzor, in my case all works fine, my printer works,my dvb-t stick works, etc
[18:17]  * nuk has found that as of 4 months ago - he is booting into linux, rather than windows.  i recommend making the transition
[18:18] <karma_police> where can i find the firefox executable file?
[18:18] <babu__> pls reply for my query
[18:18] <ubutom> however, windows is still better for gaming
[18:18] <nuk> out_cold - agreed.  i still use windows for my gaming and some other things....but for stability...linux is the way to go
[18:18] <maginot> good afternoon.
[18:18] <d_rwin> babu__: remove it and install again, try purge
[18:18] <Out_Cold_> nuk, first day i tried, i gave up that hinderance for a better life lol
[18:19] <nosetto> join #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:19] <ubutom> good afternoon maginot
[18:19] <nuk> i use Backtrack 4 mostly, but other than that, i use Kubuntu with a bunch of personal customizations
[18:19] <babu__> noone is there to ans me
[18:19] <nuk> babu_ - what you need?
[18:19] <maginot> nuk, do you like forensics ?
[18:19] <guntbert> !ot > nuk
[18:19] <nuk> yeah it's pretty nice
[18:19] <karma_police> i am trying to set up the new thunderbird. i'm having trouble getting my links to work when i try to open link from message.
[18:19] <kk> Hello everybody. My video playback is too fast. I am using ubuntu lucid
[18:20] <sammy> Out_Cold_: what does `sudo update-grub` say? does it correctly recognize that your boot partition is on an lvm?
[18:20] <seekg> Nice
[18:20] <nuk> k
[18:20] <d_rwin> babu__: try apt-get remove/purge <package>
[18:20] <guntbert> !lucid > kk
[18:20] <Mansoor> Hi guys my "lenovo y550" laptops webcam is not working in ubuntu Karmic. any idea to solve this pro?!
[18:21] <lhl_henrylui> In Ubuntu, do I need an anti virus software?
[18:21] <Out_Cold_> sammy unfortunately the box is at home while i'm slacking at work.. just trying to get ideas.. i can't boot at all so would i run that from busybox?
[18:21] <maginot> lhl_henrylui, no
[18:21] <lhl_henrylui> Why
[18:21] <maginot> lhl_henrylui, not on ubuntu or any other linux system, only if you have a file server
[18:21] <ubutom> babu, i can't find it in the repos with aptitude search
[18:21] <guntbert> !av | lhl_henrylui
[18:21] <maginot> lhl_henrylui, there is no real virus for linux
[18:22] <lhl_henrylui> Thank you
[18:22] <d_rwin> lhl_henrylui: nevr, try chkrootkits to feel safe
[18:22] <sammy> Out_Cold_: I found some general instructions for grub with -- oh you said your /boot is a primary partition and / is on the lvm. as for suggestions, I'd take a look at /boot/grub/grub.cfg (which is automatically generated by update-grub) and see if anything seems incorrect. there's also http://grub.enbug.org/LVMandRAID on the grub wiki, but they're not ubuntu specific suggestions.
[18:22] <Mansoor> Hey guys, my "lenovo y550" laptops webcam is not working in ubuntu Karmic. any idea to solve this pro?!
[18:22] <ubutom> babu__, you don't mean by any chance wget?
[18:22] <d_rwin> lhl_henrylui: virus dont .exe execute in linux
[18:22] <nuk> i have found that the Ubuntu - netbook remix works flawlessly on my HP mini netbook.  Any other distro, usually, has problems with the partition manager.
[18:23] <lhl_henrylui> I want to open a game which is a .exe file, how?
[18:23] <nuk> wine ?
[18:23] <maginot> lhl_henrylui, only using emulation like wine
[18:23] <ubutom> lhl_henrylui, could work with wine
[18:24] <nuk> is there anything "better" than wine?  i havn't really gotten into running windows-based apps on linux
[18:24] <Out_Cold_> sammy, i've never really worked with busybox, would i mount my partitions then check for grub.conf?
[18:24] <sammy> *nod*
[18:25] <Out_Cold_> nuk 'not using wine' :p
[18:25] <maginot> agreed
[18:25] <maginot> =)
[18:25] <ubutom> Cedega maybe nuk
[18:25] <nuk> :)
[18:25] <lhl_henrylui> I want to open a game which is ".exe", what should I do?
[18:25] <ubutom> Cedega works with some copy protections
[18:25] <Mansoor> lhl_henrylui, try "wine"
[18:25] <lhl_henrylui> OK
[18:26] <d_rwin> lhl_henrylui: install wine and try winecfg to add the exe
[18:26]  * nuk is away: >> getting milk for the wifey
[18:26] <maginot> I don't know why people keep trying to use windows programs on linux, they may work but mostly with problems and issues, winows executable files aren't native for linux, so they are emulated and furthermore most times doesn't work properly
[18:26] <guntbert> !away > nuk
[18:27] <maginot> if I need to use some windows program on linux I prefer to se a Virtual machine, like VirtualBox, which emulates the entire system
[18:27] <Mansoor> lhl_henrylui, wine works pretty good with windows executable applications, if dosnt work, just copy your dlls from <windows root>/system/system32 to ~/.wine/c/windows/system/system32
[18:27] <nuk> got ya....sorry.  new to this channel :)  should have read the rules
[18:27] <ubutom> well, some work perfectly, others not at all
[18:27] <Out_Cold_> maginot depends on deps and needs
[18:27] <troels> Hi - I'm running Ubuntu 9.1 and I want to disable the startup sound. I've looked in System-Settings-Sound but the only option here is to turn of ALL sound, or change themes. I've looked in the System-administration-login, but nothing there either. how do I turn i of?
[18:27] <Gieke> can you do something like you can do in alt+F2 on startup
[18:27] <Gieke> (instead of typing it in alt+F2, doing it automaticly)
[18:28] <Out_Cold_> what does alt f2 do on startup?
[18:28] <Gieke> nothing...
[18:28] <Gieke> now, i press alt+F2 and enter a command
[18:28] <Gieke> i want the command to be executed on startup
[18:28] <maginot> Gieke, I can't see any sense on your question...
[18:28] <d_rwin> Out_Cold_: calls the run
[18:28] <CnC> .
[18:28] <Out_Cold_> Gieke ahh... put the command in start up apps
[18:28] <d_rwin> Out_Cold_: default in gnome and kde
[18:29] <maginot> Gieke, how do you spected to run any command on login screen without ever been logged as an user?
[18:29] <Gieke> hm?
[18:29] <Gieke> i don't get that part maginot
[18:29] <Out_Cold_> d_rwin yea i know that... was wondering if there was a different use on start up, not after lol
[18:29] <Gieke> out cold, i putted it in startup aps, no effect
[18:29] <maginot> Gieke, you're saying that you want to alt+f2 to show on your login screen, isn't that right?
[18:29] <Gieke> smb://carlos/gedeeld    ==> the command
[18:29] <Gieke> no maginot...
[18:30] <d_rwin> maginot: you can fluxbox startup conf
[18:30] <maginot> so I don't get it ...
[18:30] <Gieke> i didn't even use the word login
[18:30] <Gieke> xD
[18:30] <Yohan> question à  2 balles : je voudrais faire un poste pour un utilisateur néophyte donc je voudrais que les mises à jour se fassent de manière transparente sans qu'il tape son mot de passe et biensur automatiquement
[18:30] <Yohan> est-ce possible ?
[18:30] <guntbert> !fr | Yohan
[18:30] <Gieke> ehm...
[18:30] <maginot> Gieke, you just want to some custom command to run after login??
[18:30] <Mansoor> maginot, notice: sound plays after logging in not before, so if somebody sets a command to disable that, it have to be possible!
[18:31] <Gieke> yes maginot
[18:31] <troels> Hi - I'm running Ubuntu 9.1 and I want to disable the startup sound. I've looked in System-Settings-Sound but the only option here is to turn of ALL sound, or change themes. I've looked in the System-administration-login, but nothing there either. how do I turn i of?
[18:31] <d_rwin> maginot: which manager do you use
[18:31] <maginot> Gieke, are you using gnome?
[18:31] <Gieke> yes
[18:31] <epaphus> Hello all.. Can I set ubuntu to disable usb storage devices.. but allowing USB headsets to work?
[18:32] <Gieke> wow
[18:32] <Gieke> usb headset?
[18:32] <maginot> Gieke, go to the gnome menu, open preferences, and open session applications
[18:32] <epaphus> Gieke, yes
[18:32] <Gieke> didn't know it exists
[18:32] <maginot> (session application is my translate)
[18:32] <maginot> Gieke, ^
[18:33] <maginot> Gieke, just a sec, I will get the right name
[18:33] <nightsjammies> I'm having trouble getting my boot menu to show up..I replaced ## hiddenmenu with # hiddenmenu and #hiddenmenu, and I still have to hit esc.
[18:33] <nightsjammies> Can anyone help me?
[18:33] <alecs> hi!
[18:33] <maginot> Gieke, open this and put what you want there: gnome-session-properties
[18:34] <maginot> d_rwin, it depends, sometimes gnome, sometimes kde... I really love the new kde
[18:34] <troels> Hi - I'm running Ubuntu 9.1 and I want to disable the startup sound. I've looked in System-Settings-Sound but the only option here is to turn of ALL sound, or change themes. I've looked in the System-administration-login, but nothing there either. how do I turn i of?
[18:34] <Gieke> maginot, the right name is "startup applications"
[18:34] <Gieke> in gnome menu
[18:34] <d_rwin> maginot: which app do you want to run
[18:35] <maginot> d_rwin, me? I don't want to run anything
[18:35] <maginot> I have no problem with my linux system.
[18:35] <BBUser> Could somebody walk me through installing something from a PPA? I need the Berry (Blackberry syncing program) from ppa:doctormo/barry-snapshot but I can't figure out how to install it, I tried updating, but I don't see berry installed anywhere.
[18:35] <d_rwin> maginot: which startup application??
[18:35] <riverleejames> Hey, just installed 10.05 can't get my Ati 5770 working because of unsupported catalyst driver. Does anyone know of a decent alternatve to get Compiz working ?
[18:35] <riverleejames> 10.04*
[18:35] <epaphus> Hello all.. Can I set ubuntu to disable usb storage devices.. but allowing USB headsets to work?
[18:35] <cellofellow> !lucid | riverleejames
[18:35] <Gieke> epaphus, i have no idea
[18:35] <maginot> d_rwin, I think you're a little lost on the chat, I'm helping Gieke with his problem, its him who wants to startup something =P
[18:35] <lhl_henrylui> I've installed Wine but I can't run ".exe"
[18:36] <soreau> riverleejames: 1) It should already be working 2) !lucid 3) If you come to #compiz, I will help you get it working
[18:36] <maginot> epaphus, you will have to work with udev rules for that...
[18:36] <Gieke> maginot, it is  there, do i have to reboot or is there a command to start the startup applications
[18:36] <maginot> epaphus, or you can just disable kernel support for storage devices
[18:36] <riverleejames> Thanks
[18:36] <d_rwin> ok, trying my hand at irssi now :P
[18:36] <maginot> Gieke, just close and open you X session again
[18:36] <robo> hi: how can i change my ip address in ubuntu using hte command line? I tried editing /etc/network/interfaces but it doesn't seem to be read when i run /etc/init.d/networking restart. Any suggestions?
[18:36] <BBUser> Does anyone here use Berry? The blackberry syncing program? And if so how did you install it, and could you tell me how?
[18:36] <Gieke> and how do i do that maginot?
[18:37] <maginot> Gieke, close your session and login again
[18:37] <epaphus> maginot, thanks.. but that will let USB handset to work right?
[18:37] <Gieke> k
[18:37] <lhl_henrylui> I've installed Wine but I can't run ".exe" what can I do?
[18:37] <maginot> epaphus, if you keep that support yes. USB headset are not storage devices, they only use the same bus
[18:37] <boourns2> lhl_henrylui, right click the exe and open with wine
[18:37] <epaphus> maginot, thanks
[18:37] <snr1> I have a problem with installing xchat
[18:37] <maginot> lhl_henrylui, try #winehq
[18:38] <snr1> any can help me out with this
[18:38] <guntbert> robo: see https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html please
[18:38] <boourns2> snr, just ask
[18:38] <Gieke> it didn't do anything
[18:38] <robo> ty guntbert
[18:38] <maginot> snr1, if you explain your problem.
[18:38] <guntbert> snr1: what problem?
[18:38] <guntbert> robo: :)
[18:38] <snr1> I have done sudo apt-get install xchat
[18:38] <maginot> Gieke, so you command is wrong, can I ask what you're trying to do?
[18:38] <lhl_henrylui> boourns2, I've tried but it doesn't work.
[18:38] <jim__> devene seems to be working, will find out after results :) thank you
[18:38] <maginot> snr1, ok
[18:38] <snr1> then there are dependencies to other packages
[18:39] <maginot> snr1, can't see the problem yet
[18:39] <Gieke> smb://carlos/gedeeld ==> a shared folder with windows
[18:39] <snr1> like libperl
[18:39] <boourns2> lhl_henrylui, what happens exactly?  what app is the exe?  not everything works in wine..
[18:39] <BBUser> Could someone tell me how to install something from ppa:doctormo/barry-snapshot? I tried updating and I don't have the program in the repository installed.
[18:39] <robo> guntbert, it didn't have any ethernet devices in the interfaces file. Is there a way I can have ubuntu search for it and add it to that file or can i do it manually?
[18:39] <Gieke> when i do alt+F2 with the command, it works
[18:39] <guntbert> !enter | snr1
[18:39] <lhl_henrylui> boourns2, Google Chrome, I just click it for a trial.
[18:39] <nightsjammies> Okay, so I tried to edit the boot/grub/menu.lst to allow the boot menu to show up, but I can't seem to get it right. Here's what I've got so far: http://pastebin.com/dQsgvcap
[18:39] <maginot> Gieke, okay, smb is just the protocol, you want to stabilish a connection, open nautilus automaticly, or what?
[18:40] <snr1>  xchat: Depends: libperl5.8 (>= 5.8.7) but it is not going to be installed
[18:40] <snr1> E: Broken packages this is the problem i'm getting
[18:40] <boourns2> lhl_henrylui, haha, why are using wine for that?  chrome has a linux version
[18:40] <BBUser> Could someone tell me how to install something from a PPA?
[18:40] <waraw> is it normal for an ubuntu install to give no feedback for quite a long time after selecting Install
[18:40] <lhl_henrylui> boourns2, I know, I just want to try whether it works
[18:40] <Gieke> when i do smb://carlos/gedeeld in alt+F2, it realizes an icon on my desktop (it "mounts" the share)
[18:40] <Gieke> i want it to do that on startup
[18:40] <maginot> snr1, did you do something wrong? Like forcing any install process?
[18:40] <guntbert> robo: type ifconfig    -- shows you all interfaces - then add what you need manually
[18:40] <boourns2> lhl_henrylui, well now you it doesn't...
[18:41] <boourns2> know*
[18:41] <snr1> maginot: no
[18:41] <mupi> How do I start the network manager in the command line.  I have looked at loads of internet sites but I can not find the answer for ubuntu.  At least not for the version that I am using.  I need a command to restart the internet!
[18:41] <cellofellow> BBUser: on the PPAs webpage there's a "url" that starts with "ppa:". Copy that into the Other Software tab of the Software Sources too.
[18:41] <AngelHavok> What's the command to download and install gpm through terminal
[18:41] <BBUser> cellofellow, Software Sources? Where is that?
[18:41] <guntbert> waraw: what version?
[18:41] <lhl_henrylui> boourns2, I've tried a game and it said a serious error occured
[18:41] <cellofellow> BBUser: System -> Administration
[18:42] <boourns2> lhl_henrylui, check if the game is reported to work in wine @ http://appdb.winehq.org/
[18:42] <maginot> Gieke, if you want to have a share for you user its easier to use /etc/fstab for that just keep it for the user you want. But you have to realize the smb:// isn't a command, so will not work.
[18:42] <Gieke> maginot, it tried fstab, i failed
[18:42] <boourns2> lhl_henrylui, and if it definitely doesn't work, you can install VirtualBox and make a VM of windows to use it
[18:42] <Gieke> and it's not a command
[18:42] <Gieke> it's like not run in terminal
[18:42] <Gieke> terminal fails
[18:43] <Gieke> alt+f2 works
[18:43] <waraw> guntbert, xubuntu -- it finally has reacted to tell me it's disabling irq's, so hopefully it's in progress.
[18:43] <guntbert> !enter | Gieke
[18:43] <Gieke> sorry
[18:43] <guntbert> waraw: ok :)
[18:43] <AngelHavok> someone told me I had to install gpm because I have some serious mouse jumping issues and i don't know how
[18:44] <nuk> is beryl the best looking "eye candy" available for linux?
[18:44] <alecs> can anyone help me installing openPGP key ?  I have installed thunderbird / enigmail, but everytime i am trying to enter the passphrase, it just pop few times, and then i get: "Error: Bad passphrase"... but again ... i cannot enter the pass
[18:44] <cellofellow> AngelHavok: not sure why gpm would fix that. Gpm provides mouse support for the console (no X).
[18:44] <maginot> Gieke, forget alt+f2 for a moment, you will not do like you do there. Well, you put on the command of startup aplication smb://.... but in front of that put nautilus, like nautilus smb://...
[18:44] <Gnea> nuk: it's no longer called beryl, but compiz
[18:44] <nightsjammies> so can anyone help me?
[18:44] <Gnea> nightsjammies: not until you tell us what the problem is
[18:44] <Gieke> k
[18:44] <Gieke> let's try
[18:45] <troels> Hi - I'm running Ubuntu 9.1 and I want to disable the startup sound. I've looked in System-Settings-Sound but the only option here is to turn of ALL sound, or change themes. I've looked in the System-administration-login, but nothing there either. how do I turn i of?
[18:45] <AngelHavok> I don't know either, but I need to get this fixed cause I can't get any work done and it's enough to actually make me consider going back to windows...which I really don't want to do
[18:45] <soreau> troels: It should be in sounds
[18:45] <BBUser> cellofellow, so how do I install something from ppa:doctormo/barry-snapshot? Supposedly running update does it, but I don't see the program anywhere in my applications menu or anything
[18:45] <nuk> i installed compiz on Backtrack distro, but I can't get any of the nice effects to work...any tips?
[18:45] <maginot> snr1, you may need to manually remove the broken package from /var/lib/dpkg/status
[18:45] <nightsjammies> I'm having trouble getting my boot menu to show up..I replaced ## hiddenmenu with # hiddenmenu and #hiddenmenu, and I still have to hit esc.
[18:45] <soreau> nuk: What have you tried to get compiz running?
[18:45] <Gnea> nuk: talk to the backtrack people...#backtrack?
[18:45] <cellofellow> troels: there's probably something called Gnome Login Sound in the Startup Applications.
[18:45]  * Gieke brb
[18:45] <maginot> snr1, but its a dangerous step. Keep that in mind. A backup of the file is recommended
[18:45] <nuk> shall do.... :)
[18:46] <nightsjammies> I still have to hit esc to get into the boot menu
[18:46] <nightsjammies> here's the pastebin: http://pastebin.com/dQsgvcap
[18:46] <cellofellow> BBUser: ok, on the webpage for the PPA it will also list packages provided by the PPA. Once you've added the PPA to your system, you can now install the package like normal.
[18:46] <soreau> nightsjammies: Maybe try setting the timeout to 0?
[18:46] <AngelHavok> I can't find any kind of fix on the forums
[18:46] <boourns2> cellofellow, i never realized that's where it was, even tho it wasn't my q, thanks
[18:46] <cellofellow> nightsjammies: which version of grub?
[18:47] <maginot> nightsjammies, you have to commend hiddenmenu...
[18:47] <maginot> *comment
[18:47] <troels> cellofellow, will look
[18:47] <alecs> any ideeas ?
[18:47] <cellofellow> boourns2: what, the Gnome Login Sound?
[18:47] <Gieke> k
[18:47] <boourns2> cellofellow, yep
[18:47] <Gieke> i'm back
[18:47] <troels> soreau, It's not there - or at least I'm unable to find it :)
[18:47] <soreau> nightsjammies: Oh yes, cellofellow is right. If you are using grub2, settings in menu.lst will be ignored
[18:47] <Gieke> it works
[18:47] <nightsjammies> um, I don't know which version of grub I'm using. And comment like: # hiddenmenu, right?
[18:47] <soreau> troels: Whats not where?
[18:47] <maginot> Gieke, sure, now you have a command been executed ;D
[18:47] <nightsjammies> oh. so how do I find out which version of grub I'm using?
[18:48] <Gnea> nightsjammies: with ubuntu 9.10?
[18:48] <maginot> nightsjammies, did you read what I told you? Comment hiddenmenu
[18:48] <sealive> hi no video on youtube about:plugins says all ok
[18:48] <BBUser> cellofellow, ppa:doctormo/barry-snapshot is the PPA, I tried 'sudo apt-get install barry' as that's the package listed, but it says 'couldn't find package "barry"'
[18:48] <Gieke> is there also a command to close nautilus (or other programs)
[18:48] <troels> the possibily to turn of a specific sound - I only got themes, and No sounds at all
[18:48] <Gnea> maginot: did you see that he's already commented it?
[18:48] <nightsjammies> right, comment like: # hiddenmenu, right?
[18:48] <cellofellow> BBUser: what's the webpage for the PPA?
[18:48] <boourns2> nightsjammies, you can also do "grub --version"
[18:48] <BBUser> cellofellow, https://launchpad.net/~doctormo/+archive/barry-snapshot
[18:48] <maginot> Gnea, are you blind? take another look to his pastebin
[18:49] <troels> cellofellow, Found it - will give it a try. Thanks
[18:49] <maginot> Gnea, http://pastebin.com/dQsgvcap
[18:49] <cellofellow> nightsjammies: in Grub1 the commented parts are for the update-grub utility. Double-commented parts are completely ignored. So, make # hiddenmenu into ## hiddenmenu then run sudo update-grub
[18:49] <nightsjammies> grub (GNU GRUB 0.97)
[18:49] <Gnea> maginot: I see that he has not, and yet he said he did, so the question is, was the pastebin made before or after the comment?
[18:49] <cellofellow> nightsjammies: yeah, that's grub1 (or grub-legacy).
[18:50] <nightsjammies> okay.
[18:50] <nightsjammies> thanks btw, for all of your help :)
[18:50] <cellofellow> BBUser: what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[18:50] <maginot> Gnea, well, I believe on what I see lol
[18:50] <BBUser> cellofellow, karmic
[18:50] <mimor> Hello all... Can someone translate the following text from Dutch or English to French or German? http://paste.ubuntu.com/401960/
[18:50] <Gnea> maginot: that explains a lot heh
[18:50] <nightsjammies> so what'd I do wrong then?
[18:50] <cellofellow> BBUser: huh. You sure it has updated the cache?
[18:50] <boourns2> mimor, http://translate.google.com
[18:51] <BBUser> cellofellow, how can I update the cache?
[18:51] <mimor> boubbin, >< that's not verry perfect, is it?
[18:51] <cellofellow> BBUser: either click Update in Synaptic, or run sudo apt-get update
[18:51] <maginot> nightsjammies, again. Did you put a "#" in front of hiddenmenu ?
[18:52] <cellofellow> nightsjammies: probably best to just completely delete the line with hiddemenu
[18:52] <nightsjammies> I've tried that. Does it need to be: #hiddenmenu, or # hiddenmenu?
[18:52] <cellofellow> nightsjammies: ## hiddenmenu if anything at all
[18:52] <Gnea> nightsjammies: doesn't matter, as long as # is the first thing on the line
[18:52] <maginot> nightsjammies, ^
[18:52] <BBUser> cellofellow, it's waiting on headers right now, so one sec
[18:53] <nightsjammies> well, I've tried #hiddenmenu, ##hiddenmenu, # hiddenmenu, and ## hiddenmenu
[18:53] <nightsjammies> and all still the same result. It skips right to linux.
[18:53] <Gnea> nightsjammies: well, try ### hiddenmenu
[18:53] <cellofellow> nightsjammies: none of the changes take untill you run update-grub
[18:53] <Gnea> cellofellow: really?
[18:53] <nightsjammies> ahh okay.
[18:53] <Gnea> it's not lilo, it's grub
[18:54] <cellofellow> nightsjammies: it should be # hiddenmenu, then run update-grub
[18:54] <maginot> cellofellow, says who?
[18:54] <Gnea> only lilo ever required that the MBR be reinstalled each time
[18:54] <nightsjammies> # hiddenmenu
[18:54] <Gnea> with grub, it reads the config file each and everytime
[18:54] <nightsjammies> and I just ran update-grub.
[18:54] <BBUser> cellofellow, yeah doesn't look like it updated or installed anything
[18:54] <cellofellow> Gnea: update-grub doesn't mess with the mbr.
[18:54] <nightsjammies> I'll be right back.
[18:54] <maginot> nightfrog, please, pastebin your menu.lst
[18:54] <cellofellow> BBUser: run "sudo aptitude", it should show up in the "New Packages" section.
[18:55] <maginot> cellofellow, to update-grub is only to update the boot loader, not its config, that is done on menu.lst
[18:55] <Gnea> cellofellow: sure it does, menu.lst is always read on each bootup. it's not hard-coded.
[18:55] <cellofellow> update-grub only edits menu.lst, but looking more closely, the hiddenmenu stuff isn't touched by update-grub
[18:55] <maginot> cellofellow, please, man update-grub
[18:56] <cellofellow> maginot: I know how it works
[18:56] <maginot> cellofellow, no. You dont.
[18:56] <Gnea> cellofellow: lilo used to have to do that, if you made a change, you had to re-run lilo each time to make the changes take effect. that's one reason why grub is so much better than lilo.
[18:56] <jbartus> is there an Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud channel or do questions on it go in here?
[18:56] <Gnea> cellofellow: incorrect.
[18:56] <Gnea> cellofellow: update-grub generates a menu.lst, it doesn't edit it.
[18:56] <BBUser> cellofellow, I don't see a new packages section?
[18:57] <nightsjammies> Well hell, still didn't work...
[18:57] <Gnea> to edit is to assume that the file exists already
[18:57] <nightsjammies> booted right into linux
[18:57] <cellofellow> BBUser: umm. Ok, just search barry (hit / to open the search box)
[18:57] <maginot> nightsjammies, if you pastebin your menu.lst I may help you.
[18:57] <Gnea> nightsjammies: not surprised. check your menu.lst again and see if hiddenmenu is still commented or not
[18:57] <cellofellow> nightsjammies: maybe we're editing the wrong file
[18:57] <cellofellow> or not
[18:57] <lhl_henrylui> How do I know whether I'm 32bit or 64bit?
[18:58] <d_rwin> nightsjammies: wihich one did u install last?
[18:58] <Gnea> lhl_henrylui: uname -m
[18:58] <BBUser> cellofellow, okay it found 'libbarry'
[18:58] <maginot> nightsjammies, do the follow: cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | grep hiddenmenu
[18:58] <nightsjammies> http://pastebin.com/DjBBih4N
[18:58] <cellofellow> BBUser: hit 'n' to go to the next match
[18:58] <Gnea> lhl_henrylui: if it's i686, it's 32bit. if it's x86_64, it's 64bit
[18:58] <maginot> nightsjammies, pastebin the output of the command I gave you.
[18:59] <lhl_henrylui> Gnea: What do you mean?
[18:59] <trism> nightsjammies: there is a second hiddenmenu line in that file, you need to comment both
[18:59] <lenovo> anyone here know why ubuntu 9.10 32-bit does not see my logitech mk300 wireless keyboard and mouse ?
[18:59] <BBUser> cellofellow, there's a bunch of 'libs' and opensync for barry and stuff, but no just 'barry'
[18:59] <maginot> nightsjammies, again. You have not commented hiddenmenu
[18:59] <genii> jbartus: #ubuntu-server  or perhaps #eucalyptus
[18:59] <Gnea> nightsjammies: right, it's not commented. we determined that update-grub is not the correct command to be using for this. try gedit or nano
[18:59] <Gnea> lhl_henrylui: run this command in a terminal shell: uname -m
[18:59] <cellofellow> BBUser: you sure? search "^barry"
[18:59] <nightsjammies> http://pastebin.com/XGTnRsEW
[18:59] <jbartus> genii: tx
[18:59] <cellofellow> it should be there
[18:59] <lhl_henrylui> got it
[18:59] <BBUser> cellofellow, yep...
[19:00] <hdon> can anyone recommend an RSS gnome panel applet?
[19:00] <maginot> nightsjammies, see, you have a second hiddenmenu which isn't commented
[19:00] <cellofellow> BBUser: must not have added the PPA correctly. hit q to exit aptitude. Run sudo add-apt-repository ppa:doctormo/barry-snapshot
[19:00] <nightsjammies> yeah, I just saw it.
[19:01] <nightsjammies> okay, I'll be right back.
[19:01] <Gnea> nightsjammies: so open menu.lst with gedit (like this:  gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst ) and add a # manually
[19:01] <Gnea> er heh
[19:01] <Gnea> maginot: this'll be interesting :)
[19:02] <maginot> I hate when I have to repeat over and over again the same thing... I told him he had a hiddenmenu from the beggining. /=
[19:02] <BBUser> cellofellow, it says 'unprocessed: 1' 'unchanged: 1' is that significant?
[19:02] <cellofellow> BBUser: no
[19:02] <cellofellow> BBUser: then run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install barry
[19:02] <Gnea> maginot: sometimes repeating doesn't always work... it also doesn't help when conflicting help is being given
[19:03] <nightsjammies> All right. That worked. Thanks much everyone :)
[19:03] <maginot> Gnea, nahh .. what really works is to pay more attention. =)
[19:03] <cellofellow> Gnea: sorry 'bout that
[19:03] <Gnea> nightsjammies: cheers :)
[19:03] <maginot> nightsjammies, sure.
[19:03] <nightsjammies> :)
[19:03] <Gnea> cellofellow: it's cool
[19:03] <Gnea> maginot: agreed :)
[19:03] <kostkon> hdon, a tray based one, like yarssr? or GrNotify (for google reader)
[19:03] <BBUser> cellofellow, it's taking a few to wait on headers every time I do update
[19:04] <nightsjammies> So now that I see that I've got more than 1 version of linux in the boot menu, I can just delete it, right?
[19:04] <skrite> is there a way to temporarily disable a trackpad on a laptop? i have a macbook that keeps accidentally jumping my cursor around
[19:04] <cellofellow> BBUser: that's normal
[19:04] <cellofellow> nightsjammies: that means you have several older kernels installed
[19:04] <maginot> nightsjammies, its there in the case you need after an update. If the last one is working properly you can remove the other, but that wont remove the kernels from /boot
[19:04] <nightsjammies> yes, I know.
[19:04] <Gnea> nightsjammies: you can, but I find that it's easier to just apt-get remove the actual kernel itself that's being referred to, since subsequent updates will just add them back in
[19:04] <cellofellow> nightsjammies: don't remove those from menu.lst, they'll just get added back the next time apt runs update-grub.
[19:04] <nightsjammies> ah, okay.
[19:05] <Gnea> :)
[19:05] <BBUser> cellofellow, E: Couldn't find package barry
[19:05] <nightsjammies> so just leave 'em. Okay. How about reordering the XP to the top of the list? Can I just cut and paste to the top of the boot order?
[19:05] <cellofellow> BBUser: that's really odd
[19:05] <maginot> nightsjammies, yep
[19:05] <Gnea> nightsjammies: sure
[19:06] <cellofellow> BBUser: the update didn't give any errors?
[19:06] <BBUser> cellofellow no, just the barry install
[19:06] <maginot> nightsjammies, but take care to not make any mistakes. I recommend you to backup menu.lst first.
[19:06] <gamusino69> hola
[19:06] <cellofellow> BBUser: that shouldn't happen
[19:06] <insano> How could I implement a Access Policy for Directories and Files?
[19:07] <insano> How could I implement an Access Policy for Directories and Files?
[19:07] <nightsjammies> right. so I'd add the XP right below: ## ## End Default Options ##
[19:07] <BBUser> cellofellow, would rebooting do anything? o.O
[19:07] <maginot> insano, what kind of "policy" ?
[19:07] <hdon> kostkon, i will check out yarssr, thanks
[19:07] <cellofellow> BBUser: oh, the package isn't called barry
[19:07] <BBUser> cellofellow, it's not? O_O
[19:08] <cellofellow> BBUser: there are packages barry-util, barrybackup-gui, libbarry, and opensync-plugin-barry
[19:08] <maginot> BBUser, why not uset aptitude search <part-of-package-name> ?
[19:08] <maginot> *uset/use
[19:08] <cellofellow> BBUser: sudo aptitude install ~nbarry should do the trick
[19:08] <hdon> kostkon, oh i see, you said tray. no i don't want the tray, i want a ticker at the top of my screen that shows new RSS stuff
[19:08] <kostkon> hdon, ok :(
[19:08] <gramm> irc.undernet.org
[19:08] <cellofellow> hdon: nifty idea, don't know if it exists. Maybe you can write it yourself?
[19:10] <BBUser> cellofellow, okay, so those are all installed...how does one open them? Because there's not any programs added to the application's menu that I can see
[19:10] <nightsjammies> Okay, here's the change that I made: http://pastebin.com/SkknV0kc
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[19:10] <nightsjammies> Is that correct?
[19:10] <kostkon> hdon, there is snackr, but it's an adobe air app
[19:10] <cellofellow> BBUser: I'm not sure. "dpkg -L barry-util | grep /usr/bin" might give some clues
[19:11] <hdon> kostkon, oh, well i don't think i'm ready to try adobe air
[19:11] <kostkon> hdon, ok
[19:11] <hdon> kostkon, thanks for the tip. cellofellow: yes i may have to do that.
[19:11] <maginot> nightsjammies, looks to be right.
[19:11] <kostkon> hdon, np
[19:11] <hdon> does anyone know where the source code is to the gnome panel resource monitor?
[19:11] <hdon> i've been wanting to implement logarithmic time scale for it for a loooong time :)
[19:11] <nightsjammies> Okay. Thank you very much :)
[19:12] <nightsjammies> I actually learnt something today>
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Hdon: its on the repos in a -dev deb
[19:12] <hdon> ActionParsnip, where are those repos?
[19:12] <hdon> oh, you mean, the ubuntu repos
[19:12] <hdon> thanks
[19:12] <Ferosaur> I got a question. maybe one of u can help?
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Hdon: the standard ones have source and binarys
[19:12] <cellofellow> hdon: better to develop from the upstream sources I would think.
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> !ask | ferosaur
[19:12] <hdon> cellofellow, yeah that's my thought too
[19:12] <Ferosaur> pardon my n00bishness
[19:13] <BBUser> cellofellow, oh so these are the program folders?
[19:13] <cellofellow> hdon: I'd check gnome.org, they probably have the repository somewhere.
[19:13] <xiofire> Anyone want to list some reasons to switch to Ubuntu from Windows? I can't convince my mom to let me :(  I'm booted into Ubuntu now but waiting for the confirm to be able to install it for good.
[19:13] <cellofellow> BBUser: did the grep thing show something?
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> Xiofire: depends on their requirements of an OS
[19:13] <hdon> cellofellow, thanks, will do
[19:13] <TLUL> How can I get Karmic to show me the boot status when booting up, like previous versions of Ubuntu (as opposed to just showing the Ubuntu logo)?
[19:13] <blakkheim> xiofire: uh how old you are you..?
[19:13] <xiofire> 15
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> Xiofire: just grab a 2gb sd card or usb stick and install on that
[19:14] <BBUser> cellofellow, a bunch of different files in /usr/bin like /usr/bin/upldif /usr/bin/bktrans /usr/bin/btranslate
[19:14] <pure_hate> xiofire, Its free. that should be all the convicing a mom needs
[19:14] <Ferosaur> ok, I have the dual boot, ubuntu and windows vista. on windows I have i-tunes. in my music folder IN UBUNTU i-tunes is there. is there  a way I can transfer music to itunes from ubuntu?
[19:14] <cellofellow> BBUser: ok, um
[19:14] <TLUL> xiofire: Either install it to a USB/SD as previously mentioned, or explain that Ubuntu gets a lot less viruses, is free...
[19:15] <xiofire> Well I want to dive into Python, which is hell in windows -_-
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> Tlul: you can remove the boot options in /etc/default/grub and you will get a text boot
[19:15] <cellofellow> BBUser: it seems the main way that barry works is through the opensync-plugin-barry package. You probably need to use an opensync app, maybe evolution? I don't know precisely how opensync works.
[19:15] <TLUL> ActionParsnip: Which boot option specifically sets it to use the icon instead of a text boot?
[19:15] <imi> hello
[19:15] <Davidf88> you don't need to appy Xorg.conf
[19:15] <chat30846> hello
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> Xiofire: unless you have some specialised hardware or want to play the very latest games then linux as a whole is great
[19:16] <chat30846> were are you from
[19:16] <lenovo> anyone know anything about a wireless keyboard and mouse with ubuntu 9.10 ?
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> Tlul: quiet splash, if you remove them and then run: sudo update-grub ,you will get a text boot
[19:16] <cellofellow> xiofire: honestly never found Python on windows to be that bad... but still, better in Linux.
[19:16] <imi> I have this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdevelop/+bug/519013 but there's no progress afaik, and kdevelop crashes too often, reproducibly
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | lenovo
[19:16] <xiofire> ActionParship: Only reason its a no is because I have Adobe photoshop on windows
[19:17] <TLUL> ActionParsnip: Thanks, I need the text boot to see where it is freezing sometimes. Hopefully this will help!
[19:17] <cellofellow> imi: this really isn't the place to be reporting bugs on a KDE app.
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Xiofire: it may run in wine or you can switch to gimp
[19:17] <chat30846> what are you taking about
[19:17] <lesshaste> when I try to install skype throught medibuntu I get Package skype is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[19:17] <lesshaste> any ideas?
[19:17] <imi> cellofellow, you mean the launchpad or the IRC channel?
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> Tlul: you can add / remove options for one shot by edittin grub before it launches the loading
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> Tlul: read the grub docs to see how
[19:18] <ubutom> lesshaste, try installing the referring package
[19:18] <lesshaste> ubutom, what is it?
[19:18] <joshuah> lesshaste: download deb from http://www.skype.com/
[19:18] <lesshaste> joshuah, there is no karmic link is there?
[19:18] <cellofellow> imi: this particular IRC channel. Also, I don't think KDevelop uses LP for its main bugtracker, probably best to go to KDEs bugtracker and report it there. You can then link the LP bug to the KDE bug.
[19:18] <joshuah> lesshaste: http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/choose/ ubuntu 8.10+ 32 or 64
[19:19] <joshuah> 8.10 and up
[19:19] <joshuah> works for me
[19:19] <Ferosaur> If I have ubuntu + windows, is there a way for me to transfer music from ubuntu into my itunes
[19:19] <imi> cellofellow, see the bug report, first I went to kdevelop bugtasker they said me to upgrade kdevelop, so I will need the ubuntu team to upgrade kdevelop package
[19:19] <cellofellow> lesshaste: yeah, the package skype isn't in medibuntu anymore for some reason. There is a seperate Skyupe repo somewhere.
[19:19] <imi> *bugtracker*
[19:19] <lesshaste> cellofellow, ah..thanks
[19:19] <cellofellow> imi: ah, that stinks.
[19:19] <ZummiG777> Is there a way to make directories in /var/run permanent ?
[19:19] <lesshaste> just found https://bugs.launchpad.net/medibuntu/+bug/494564
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Ferosaur: copy the music files or simply read the ntfs from ubuntu and you can play them
[19:19] <imi> ok, then what to do next? kdevelop really annoys me
[19:20] <Ferosaur> thanx AP
[19:20] <cellofellow> lesshaste: I know that Ubuntu Tweak includes the option to add the Skype repo. Let me check that.
[19:20] <lesshaste> cellofellow, thanks
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Zummig777: you could have the folder elsewhere then symlink it at boot to make it appear there
[19:20] <xiofire> ActionParship Going to try wine, thanks :)
[19:21] <cellofellow> imi: you can try compiling kdevelop yourself, see if a newer version is in a PPA somewhere, or give up and use a different IDE.
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> Feroaur: could symlink the folder to a link in $HOME for easy access
[19:21] <blakkheim> imi: use vi
[19:22] <TLUL> ActionParsnip: Where in the GRUB docs would I find out how to edit the config for the next boot?
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> !grub | tlul
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | tlul
[19:23] <cellofellow> lesshaste: here's the apt line for the Skype repo: deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> Tlul: hold shift at boot then press e to (e)dit the boot
[19:23] <harjot_> how would i split an iso file so i can copy it to a usb 4 gig stick (file is approx 7-8 gb)
[19:23] <lesshaste> cellofellow, thanks!
[19:23] <cellofellow> lesshaste: :D
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> Harjot_: tar can do it
[19:24] <hvgotcodes> how do i tell if i added a broken repo to my sources?  the update manager keeps thinking it isnt up to date, and when i do apt-get update i get some errors
[19:24] <maginot> harjot_, you can use tar.
[19:24] <TLUL> ActionParsnip: Thanks, I'll try that out.
[19:24] <harjot_> maginot: is there anyway to like copy half then copy the other halgf
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> Hvgotcodes: run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade ,use pastebin to give the output
[19:25] <maginot> harjot_, http://paulbradley.tv/44/ this may be of some help to you
[19:26] <hvgotcodes> ActionParsnip, http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/qQP1hM86 and thanx
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> Harjot_: tar can split the file for you. dd could also be told to copy 4gb of data to a file, then the rest. I'd shoot for tar though
[19:26] <phox> Anyone know if there is a SSH or a VPN channel in IRC?? Thanks
[19:27] <Guest15275> Anyone know if there is a SSH or a VPN channel in IRC?? Thanks
[19:27] <harjot_> Ok guys thanks for your help
[19:27] <maginot> harjot_, http://trulymanaged.com/blog/how-to-split-a-large-files-to-multiple-parts-using-tar/ this is good link too =)
[19:27] <lesshaste> argh.. so how do I turn the microphone on?
[19:27] <nuk> i downloaded some games from the appManager.  where can i find them now?  they're not in the run menu :(
[19:27] <harjot_> thanks..
[19:27] <Guest15275> Anyone ??
[19:27] <harjot_> ActionParsnip: im quite interseted in the dd method
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Hvgotcodes: looks fine, that repo is either down or removed. If you remove it then things will go smooth (comment it out in /etc/apt/sources.list or use software sources)
[19:27] <maginot> Guest15275, did you tried #ssh ?
[19:27] <markl_> Guest15275: there are several
[19:27] <overmind> Guest15275: Maybe try asking in #freenode, or /msg alis help list
[19:28] <harjot_> ActionParsnip: how would i do that?
[19:28] <BBUser> okay so...
[19:28] <markl_> #cisco is where i go for cisco vpn issues
[19:28] <Guest15275> Thanks guys
[19:28] <markl_> maybe openvpn
[19:28] <markl_> etc
[19:28] <maginot> Guest15275, actually is #openssh
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> Harjot_: read the man pages, you'l see the syntax for both ways
[19:28] <harjot_> ok
[19:28] <hvgotcodes> ActionParsnip, no, rictotz should be ricotz -- my bad sorry
[19:28] <genii> Guest15275: #openssh  exists
[19:28] <nuk> i downloaded some games from the appManager.  where can i find them now?  they're not in the run menu :(
[19:28] <nuk> sorry bout that repeat
[19:28] <maginot> harjot_, spliting files with dd isn't the best method. Tar is recommend through
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> Hvgotcodes: whatever its called, its not available right now
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> Nuk: check under games in the gnome menu
[19:29] <nuk> there is no games folder
[19:29] <hvgotcodes> yeah it was  a typo -- i have 2 external repos for the same thing, one spelled correctly one not
[19:29] <nuk> on KDE desktop
[19:29] <maginot> nuk, enable it with alacarte
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> Hvgotcodes: then remove the bad one
[19:30] <harjot_> maginot: does dd split the file or copy it directly
[19:30] <maginot> nuk, ops, alacarte is for gnome, don't know if work on kde
[19:30] <harjot_> maginot: because i really have no time for splitting let alone enough space
[19:30] <hvgotcodes> ActionParsnip, yep thanx
[19:30] <maginot> harjot_, dd is a binary copy tool. I recommend dd if you really know what you're doing.
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> Nuk: in terminal if you type a few of the first letters of its title and press tab it should offer suggestions
[19:31] <nuk> i will try that...thanks
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> Harjot_: no it will make 2 more files of 50% of the file (or whatever you specify)
[19:31] <harjot_> ActionParsnip: so dd will have to split?
[19:32] <netshinE> hey all, i just upgraded my 9.10 to the first beta of 10.04 :D
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Harjot_: it'l be something like: dd if=file.iso of=half.iso count=4096000
[19:32] <harjot_> Which is the quickest method of getting a 6gb file to another computer in less than an hour?
[19:32] <Guest15275> Anyone know how to create a server ( SSH or VPN ) , giving donation through paypal for help !
[19:32] <blakkheim> joshuah: flash drive
[19:32] <netshinE> got a sound problem, ( Thers is not sound ) ;) can anyone plz direct me to some help ( or direct me to google search? )
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Harjot_: not sure that's an exact command but you will get a file of the first 4gb of the big file
[19:33] <maginot> harjot_, ssh (better them with scp), netcat is a good quick solution too.
[19:33] <joshuah> blakkheim: ??
[19:33] <GuitarInc1>  is there a way to bring a background program (started at bootup from an init script) to the foreground?  I want to bring up the console for my own program which begins at startup...I can't get "fg" to work.
[19:33] <tx0> oi
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> Guest15275: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[19:33] <harjot_> maginot: so i should use scp?
[19:33] <harjot_> maginot: i dont exactly get how you can ssh a file over unless thats scp
[19:33] <SnowmanX11> Can somebody tell me why it happens if I give parameters to mplayer that works greatly, but if I write to config file it simply does not use them?
[19:33] <Losha> Guest15275: ssh server on ubuntu is a snap. Pay the man...
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> Guest15275: then you have an ssh server with x forwarding enabled by default
[19:34] <maginot> harjot_, man ssh =)
[19:34] <blakkheim> SnowmanX11: maybe your syntax is incorrect
[19:34] <harjot_> maginot: ok thanks for your help
[19:34] <harjot_> maginot: is ssh faster than scp?
[19:34] <maginot> harjot_, yep.
[19:34] <nuk> ActionParsnip: yeah that works, but how would i make a folder called "games" then add that to it?
[19:34] <blakkheim> harjot_: scp uses ssh
[19:34] <harjot_> ok thanks
[19:34] <nuk> ***on my menu that is
[19:34] <maginot> blakkheim, but ssh is better.
[19:34] <insano> How could I implement an Directories and Files Access Policy in an Ubuntu Server?
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> Nuk: alacarte is for modifying the menu
[19:35] <insano> How could I implement Directories and Files Access Policy in an Ubuntu Server?
[19:35] <nuk> oh
[19:35] <nuk> okay
[19:35] <maginot> insano, when you first made this question I asked you, what kind of "policy"
[19:35] <blakkheim> maginot: ssh is for remotely connecting, scp is for sending files through ssh
[19:35] <SnowmanX11> blakkheim: ok, foe example: vo=gl,gl2,x11 is correct?
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> Insano: look into chmod and chown as well as how linux manages permissions
[19:35] <maginot> blakkheim, ssh can copy files too, and IS faster them with scp.
[19:35] <blakkheim> SnowmanX11: i think you can only have one listed, not multiple
[19:36] <blakkheim> maginot: show me an example of copying a file with just ssh and not scp/sftp please
[19:36] <Losha> maginot: not sure I agree with that summary. AFAIK, scp runs *over* ssh...
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> Losha: yep
[19:36] <blakkheim> Losha: i know right
[19:36] <blakkheim> Losha: he seems to think he's right though
[19:36] <insano> maginot, policy for giving permission about commands e read/write in certain files
[19:36] <insano> maginot, policy for giving permission about commands and read/write in certain files
[19:36] <SnowmanX11> blakkheim: theoretically not. PLease think about forced selection of language: lang=hu,en
[19:37] <SnowmanX11> blakkheim: or slang=en,hu
[19:37] <blakkheim> SnowmanX11: this is true, i have preferred languages in my config file, but i only meant the vo option
[19:37] <SnowmanX11> blakkheim: OK, I will try
[19:38] <OPPressed> I ran out of funny comics and theres still 1.5 hours of work left.. give me funny url!
[19:38] <Guest15275> I have a little question : all ports are closed at my school, is there anyway I can make a server at my house and just connect to that server through my laptop and just use my "home network to use my ports ??
[19:38] <Losha> OPPressed: hours of fun for you on #ubuntu-offtopic...
[19:39] <blakkheim> Guest15275: yes, if you are able to connect TO your home server from the school network that will work
[19:39] <netshinE> :??
[19:39] <SnowmanX11> blakkheim: Nope, that is still using xv instead of gl
[19:40] <SnowmanX11> blakkheim: even though I have cleared the rest
[19:40] <maginot> blakkheim, tar czf - /path/files-to-copy | ssh user@remotehost "cat > /path/data.tgz" this is an example how to copy data using ssh directly.

[19:43] <maginot> Losha, The method of piping tar through SSH is faster than SCP not because SCP is slow (the transfer rate would theoretically be exactly the same), but because it saves a lot of time by parallelizing the tar.gz creation with the transfer. This is even more true if the source system only has one hard drive (or the only hard drive with enough free space to do the tar.gz is the same as the one you want data from).
[19:44] <Guest15275> .
[19:44] <snxs> hello, is it normal to always be uploading kb/s ... even if im not even touching the pc?? i have conky for upload info,, using ubuntu9.10
[19:44] <Losha> maginot: yes, I agree that pipelining a tar over ssh may run faster, trading cpu time off against transmission time. But scp still runs over ssh :-)
[19:44] <KevAlmighty> Anyone could help me making a server , can make a donation through paypal if you want. PST
[19:45] <Losha> KevAlmighty: did you type what ActionParsnip said?
[19:45] <priceisright> Hello, I have ubuntu 5.10 64-bit PC and I am using the live cd. When it installs it says mount cd to floppy and wont install becuase i dont have a floppy. Is there a way around this.
[19:45] <maginot> Losha, yes, never say different, just said using ssh is faster ;P
[19:46] <Losha> maginot: in that case we are in violent agreement...
[19:46] <genii> priceisright: 5.10 is long past End Of Life now
[19:46] <insano> maginot, is acl better than chmod?
[19:46] <maginot> Losha, indeed =D
[19:46] <priceisright> well its the only one i found around the house and i never ordered new one
[19:46] <GuitarInc1>  is there a way to bring a background program (started at bootup from an init script) to the foreground?  I want to bring up the console for my own program which begins at startup...I can't get "fg" to work.
[19:46] <maginot> insano, acl for directory access?
[19:47] <BluesKaj> priceisright, yeah, install a newer version like karmic 9.10
[19:47] <salam> does anybody know a program which support sending webcam in yahoo?
[19:47] <Losha> insano: acls are more powerful, but more complex. For casual use it's overkill, IMO...
[19:47] <insano> maginot, Yes
[19:47] <insano> Losha, How come?
[19:47] <maginot> insano, like using what for that ? I think thats new for me
[19:48] <insano> I want to deny access for certain king of user.
[19:48] <insano> kind*
[19:48] <Losha> priceisright: Looks like 5.10 is so old it still uses floppies. Do yourself a favor and get 8.10 or 9.10...
[19:48] <Losha> priceisright: oops, I mean 8.04 or 9.10...
[19:48] <salam> does anybody know a program which support sending webcam in yahoo?
[19:48] <maginot> insano, I think I'm a little lost with you problem. Is the user connected locally on the box or its remote?
[19:49] <Losha> insano: I'd also like to know what kind of users you want to deny?
[19:49] <insano> I want to block remote access to the server, maginot
[19:49]  * maginot starts strips his distro to make a install cd! \o/
[19:49] <gellmar> Hello! Is here anybody related to ubuntu lucid netboots?
[19:49] <maginot> insano, ahh remote access, I'm thinking about local access. What protocol the user uses to connect?
[19:50] <salam>  does anybody know a program which support sending webcam in yahoo?
[19:50] <fiyawerx> How do you know what version of xorg you're using?
[19:50] <rewati> hi i wanted to know ubuntu 10.04  dose it support iphone??
[19:50] <maginot> fiyawerx, Xorg -version
[19:50] <mneptok> insano: when you say "remote access" what do you mean? remote login via SSH?
[19:50] <ZykoticK9> rewati, ask in #ubuntu+1
[19:51] <fiyawerx> rewati, i just plugged mine in - fspot came up with my iphone pictures on it
[19:51] <Losha> salam: I found this on google. Dunno if it's any good: http://www.fileguru.com/apps/yahoo_messenger_for_ubuntu
[19:52] <salam> thx so much
[19:52] <fiyawerx> rewati, rhythmbox sees it as well, but doesnt see any of the tracks on the "ipod" that were put there as mp3s from itunes in windows, if that helps
[19:52] <rewati> fiyawerx that works on 9.10 but music dosnt works and application browsing dosnt works and file push up dosnt work
[19:52] <fiyawerx> rewati, ah yeah not sure, first time I ever tried plugging mine in, I'm just happy it charges :)
[19:53] <insano> maginot, ssh
[19:53] <salam> losha. thx
[19:53] <Losha> salam: so welcome...
[19:54] <mneptok> insano: enable SSH login only with valid SSH keys, and make sure only the users you want to have access have entries in their ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. also, install denyhosts to block IPs that have multiple repeat failures.
[19:54] <maginot> insano, so I still think that user/group is your better solution.
[19:55] <Lemontree84> Mornin': i got a short question: Everytime i start a 3d game, it works without a greater problem, but every 3d game  shows up with "blue pass"
[19:55] <Lemontree84> any solutions for this ?
[19:55] <maginot> insano, put the folder you don't want to be access on a group, put the users who have access to this group, and don't put those you don't want.
[19:55] <Legendario> Are u guys experiencing a problem with flash player, recently?
[19:55] <maginot> Legendario, not me.
[19:55] <Losha> insano: you can blacklist selected users from logging in via ssh by editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config. I forget the exact syntax....
[19:55] <maginot> Legendario, just usethe flashplayer from adobe site.
[19:56] <gellmar> Legendario, and kill the pulseaudio
[19:56] <Ironholds> Anyone familiar with Ubuntu's network settings?
[19:56] <maginot> Losha, this will blacklist users, but not access to some folders
[19:56] <gellmar> Ironholds: me
, i can't click on flash embended videos
[19:56] <Losha> insano: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/openssh-deny-or-restrict-access-to-users-and-groups.html
[19:57] <Legendario> I can access only with keyboard keys
[19:57] <Losha> maginot: sorry, I must've missed the bit where he said access some folders and not others...
[19:57] <SocialNicheGuru> hi all. i installed ubuntu and I want to use ftp to transfer files from my old host to my new one directly. do I have to install proftpd server? is there a gui I can use to transfer directly ffrom one host to another?
[19:57] <BluesKaj> Ironholds, how do you mean , ethernet ,wifi or network interfaces
[19:57] <maginot> Legendario, type this on your firefox address bar and see what version of flashplayer you're using: about:plugins
[19:57] <Ironholds> gellmar: smashing. Is there any way to turn an ubuntu-equipped laptop into a router or wireless forwarding device? My desktop (vista *crosses self*) won't recognise the network, while my laptop does. Unfortunately said laptop has a dinky screen and keyboard which is pissing me off.
[19:58] <maginot> Ironholds, iptables and ip route will do the trick #netfilter
[19:58] <Legendario> maginot, Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
[19:58] <gellmar> Ironholds: yes you can
[19:58] <gellmar> use iptables and dhcp interface
[19:58] <Ironholds> maginot: smashing. I'm a complete ubuntu (and indeed, linux) newb. How do I set that up? :P
[19:59] <gellmar> Ironholds: well
[19:59] <gellmar> let's have a look
[19:59] <maginot> Ironholds, well, mine is 10.0 r32, its older them yours and works fine for me
[19:59] <maginot> Ironholds, sorry, wrong nick
[19:59] <maginot> Legendario, ^
[19:59] <Ironholds> maginot: heh, tis fine
[20:00] <Legendario> maginot, what?
[20:00] <maginot> Ironholds, to you configure your linux box to act as a router will not be a simple task for a newb
[20:00] <maginot> Legendario, well, mine is 10.0 r32, its older them yours and works fine for me
[20:00] <insano> thankx maginot Losha
[20:00] <Legendario> maginot, maybe that's the problem...
[20:01] <maginot> Legendario, maybe, is that the last version?
[20:01] <Legendario> maginot, guess so. I am using karmic standards packages...
[20:02] <maginot> Legendario, Hmm well, you can always try to remove and update to the version of adobe's website, sometimes newly version have bugs
[20:02] <Mac43DO> Hi! I installed the latest regular Ubuntu on my LG X 110.  The problem is, mice are only recognized, when they are plugged-in at boot time.
[20:02] <maginot> Mac43DO, What mice?
[20:03] <Legendario> maginot, thanks... I'll see...
[20:03] <Mac43DO> maginot: USB
[20:03] <maginot> Mac43DO, is that usb, ps/2...razor, ms ?
[20:03] <maginot> Mac43DO, Did you tried to plug your mouse on different ports?
[20:03] <Mac43DO> maginot: Sorry, it is USB
[20:03]  * likemindead is running Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 1 right now and LOVING it. :D
[20:04] <Mac43DO> maginot: no mesg, when I plug-in an usb-mouse at runtime
[20:05] <maginot> Mac43DO, okay, but you tried to change the USB port it is plugged in to see if works? And whats your mice model?
[20:05] <Mac43DO> maginot: I tried every USB-Port and different mice
[20:05] <priceisright> ubuntu cant read my cd-rom drive it cant read /dev/cdrom
[20:05] <maginot> Mac43DO, ok, so plug the mouse, and do a #dmesg on terminal and pastebin the output
[20:06] <priceisright> it is asking for drivers
[20:06] <blinkiz> Hello. Am using rsync to syncronize a 73GB file. It takes very long time to do checksum of these. Does it exist anyway to speed this up under Ubuntu 9.10?
[20:06] <Mac43DO> maginot: at boot-time? because at runtime there is no output, when I plugin the mouse.
[20:07] <maginot> Mac43DO, no. Boot the system without the mouse. Them plug the mouse and if it not work go to the terminal type dmesg and pastebin the output
[20:07] <Mac43DO> maginot: ok, just a moment
[20:07] <SelfAdjoint> Hi everyone... has anyone experienced irssi messing the messages? I am somewhat new to IRC and, frankly, do not understand the protocol very well
[20:08] <blakkheim> SelfAdjoint: while irssi is my favorite irc client and i think it's the best out there, maybe if you are new to irc you might want to try something like xchat instead
[20:08] <maginot> SelfAdjoint, you can try xchat for example.
[20:08] <domjohnson> Hello
[20:08] <maginot> of course, if you have a GUI
[20:08] <maginot> Hi
[20:08] <domjohnson> I just messed up my PATH thingy
[20:09] <domjohnson> Is there a way I can restore it?
[20:09] <SelfAdjoint> perhaps you
[20:09] <SelfAdjoint> your'right
[20:09] <hiexpo> hello all
[20:09] <Losha> blinkiz: not really. There isn't much that will magically make 73GB of data synchronize incredibly quickly. Even a straight copy would take a noticeable time. Depending on how out of sync they are, a straight copy might even be faster...
[20:09] <xerox1> hi, I am looking for a tool to encrypt folders; gpg doesn't do the trick; any recommendations?
[20:10] <SelfAdjoint> sorry, new keyboard:-D I was hoping to get started successfully with a console client, xchat seems to do ass well, though. Thanks for the advice
[20:10] <blakkheim> xerox1: tar + gpg
[20:10] <hiexpo> i don't know what i  did but somehow my wireless mouse is acting crazy it times out etc
[20:10] <blinkiz> Losha, The 73GB file already is copied straight over. Is keeping these two in sync am interesting of.
[20:10] <xerox1> blakkheim, i don't like to use tar... something else?
[20:11] <blakkheim> xerox1: LUKS+dm-crypt
[20:11] <xerox1> blakkheim, will try that; thanks
[20:11] <ArkeNou> Bonjour. :)

[20:12] <BluesKaj> yup
[20:12] <blakkheim> ArkeNou: yes, this is an english channel
[20:12] <ArkeNou> ...

[20:12] <ArkeNou> :s
[20:12] <Losha> blinkiz: I don't know of a faster method. If it were made up of a bunch of smaller files, you could do it much more quickly by comparing modification times on the individual files I suppose...
[20:12] <likemindead> Welp, I'm off to install Lucid (on the Live CD at the moment). :-)
[20:12] <Mac43DO> maginot: http://pastebin.com/yCcn7XHm
[20:12] <blinkiz> Losha, jeje..
[20:13] <xerox1> magic_ninjai, so neither nor...
[20:13] <maginot> domjohnson, what you did to you PATH?
[20:13] <domjohnson> Add something else to it, and now it just says path invalid or something
[20:13] <domjohnson> No such directory
[20:13] <domjohnson> and i can't use mkdir
[20:13] <domjohnson> and I assume I can't use many other commands
[20:13] <Mac43DO> maginot: Does not help much, does it?
[20:14] <maginot> Mac43DO, no, it doesn't =/ Did you took to long to do dmesg after pluging the mouse? I hope to get some info about that from your kernel
[20:15] <xerox1> magic_ninjai, sorry...
[20:15] <Mac43DO> maginot: I'm no noob with Linux.  That's why I'm here :-D

[20:15] <Pirate_Hunter> running 8.4 where would I find lilo.conf as it aint in /boot?
[20:16] <domjohnson> Does anyone know how to restore PATH?
[20:16] <Mac43DO> maginot: If there was an error message, I could handle it.
[20:16] <Pirate_Hunter> never mind just found the directory
[20:16] <maginot> Mac43DO, without a weapon and a body we don't have a crime lol
[20:16] <domjohnson> Just to the 'factory defaults' - didn't change anything til today
[20:16] <maginot> Mac43DO, you can try to see if you find something on your logs (/var/log)
[20:17] <Mac43DO> maginot: yeah... I hoped somebody knows this bug...
[20:17] <maginot> daemon.log is a good place to start
[20:17] <DaZ> Mac43DO: does it work in windows? >:
[20:17] <Mac43DO> DaZ: What is windows?
[20:17] <maginot> hehehe
[20:17] <Mac43DO> ^^
[20:17] <maginot> great answer ;X
[20:17] <domjohnson> maginot - Only added something else to it, but it just says 'No such file or directory' (or whatever the equivelant is)
