[07:26] <beef2011> can anyone spare the time to help me with my rt3090 card? I need 1 to 1 because it seems like a really deep problem and I'm not that skilled.
[07:26] <io_error> beef2011: Just ask your question :)
[07:29] <beef2011> my rt3090bc4 card refuses to work under ubuntu, is there any way I can get it running? (Has tried blacklisting etc etc and Markus Heberling drivers)
[07:31] <Nomad77> Iwas able to install ubuntu tweak via software center after adding the ppa via terminal
[07:32] <betanick> has anybody here turned Ubuntu 11.04 Server into a wireless access point?

[07:41] <beef2011> my rt3090bc4 card refuses to work under ubuntu, is there any way I can get it running? (Has tried blacklisting etc etc and Markus Heberling drivers)
[07:41] <papoumomo> bionjour
[07:41] <dragonkeeper_> unsure
[07:42] <dragonkeeper_> not used evolution in a long time
[07:43] <dragonkeeper_> but alpha if you know the server details then just select the type u need

[07:44] <io_error> beef2011: What problem are you having?
[07:45] <betanick> has anybody here turned Ubuntu 11.04 Server into a wireless access point?
[07:46] <beef2011> io_error: well when I get into ubuntu it won't let me connect to networks it thinks for a few moments and then says 'Network disconnected' and blacklisting or using markus Heberling drivers doesn't help
[07:46] <FloodBot1> piIIu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:46] <beef2011> io_error: it won't display any networks either
[07:47] <beef2011> io_error: but ubuntu seems to know it's there because it shows a bluetooth symbol in the panel

[08:44] <Asad2005> Ubuntu sees my disk as /dev/hdd How can i identify the disk physically from its sata port on MB ?
[08:45] <tomodachi> Asad2005: you can use the uuid to identify a disk
[08:45] <tomodachi> Asad2005:  its better than actaully using a specific port since if you switch the disks around they will still mount the same
[08:49] <Qlassys> Ola bruda
[08:49] <Asad2005> tomodachi: I have 5 disks in this PC and this one is having problem. I dont want to remove the wrong one these are ZFS
[08:49] <Qlassys> ikonia bruda && Pici bruda ola!
[08:50] <tyrone> arg...... my ubuntuone account has spazzed out. does anyone know why the connection would keep dropping? it simply won't sync on my work PC. all out of nowhere... anyone?
[08:53] <tomodachi> Asad2005: hmm i understand what you are after. the command dmesg will give you a list of your devices (and also what mapping they have like sdb etc) it will also give you a serial number of the drive.  Compare it on the serial number of the drive then
[08:54] <tyrone> noone?
[08:55] <tyrone> no-one?^
[08:55] <bullgard4_> !patience | tyrone
[08:55] <tyrone> bullgard4_ thanks. at least I know someone read my question.
[08:57] <Asad2005> tomodachi: thanks i will check that
[08:57] <ActionParsnip> tyrone: not something I use, I've always used dropbox :)

[09:03] <qin> REK_007: Do you use natty?
[09:03] <REK_007> no i use lucid
[09:04] <REK_007> default is 1.2.2 and ppa adds 1.3.3
[09:04] <bullgard4_> dos: file-roller
[09:04] <qin> REK_007: Natty version is 1.3.1
[09:04] <Guest21573> bullgard4: thank you
[09:04] <REK_007> qin how do i get that on my ppa ?
[09:05] <glebihan> REK_007, look at "apt-cache policy deluge" to see which version are available in the repos
[09:05] <qin> REK_007: Rether get package from http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/deluge-torrent and build deb
[09:05] <REK_007> glebihan: a little more help will be better
[09:06] <REK_007> qin i tried building from source give some file error at linux x86_64
[09:06] <glebihan> REK_007, that's just a first step to check if version 1.3.1 could be installed directly with apt or not
[09:07] <REK_007> glebihan: ok how do i find it ?
[09:07] <glebihan> REK_007, use the command I just gave you : apt-cache policy deluge
[09:07] <REK_007> ok :P am so silly
[09:08] <Juozas> I can't update ubuntu package lists, it says about checksum errors and speed is a very slow. Why's it like that?
[09:09] <glebihan> Juozas, could you use pastebin to give us the complete output of "sudo apt-get update" ?
[09:10] <Juozas> i'll do after reboot, i'm on windows now
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> Juozas: can you give the output of:  sudo apt-get update    use a pastebin to host the text please
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> *snips*
[09:11] <glebihan> ActionParsnip, you rephrased me well :)
[09:11] <REK_007> glebihan: http://paste.pound-python.org/show/11574/
[09:11] <Guest14572> ActionParsnip :W
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> glebihan: I like to rephrase the best :D
[09:13] <glebihan> REK_007, do you specifically need version 1.3.1 or is version 1.3.3 ok ?
[09:13] <TSPEnt> hello
[09:14] <REK_007> glebihan: 1.3.3 has bugs with LSD . 1.3.a is the most stable . Thats what i have come to know
[09:14] <REK_007> 1.2.2 works fine but lacks a few features ..
[09:14] <glebihan> REK_007, ok then I guess you'll have to install it manually (I can't find a ppa containing version 1.3.1)
[09:15] <REK_007> glebihan: last day i saw a source for natty or other version having 1.3.1
[09:16] <glebihan> REK_007, yes current version for natty is 1.3.1 but not for lucid
[09:16] <REK_007> I cant use natty on lucid by any means /
[09:17] <REK_007> glebihan: will this do the work http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/GitRepo
[09:18] <glebihan> REK_007, not sure but I think this will get you version 1.3.3
[09:18] <Juozas> ok. I'm on ubuntu now. apt-get update log's here http://pastebin.com/1TvdFxSX

[09:24] <bsmith093> wjats the command to turn off the display, and lock the screen without enabling the screensaver
[09:24] <glebihan> REK_007, I really can't find a built package of version 1.3.1 for lucid. If you really want that version, I think you'll have to build it from source.
[09:24] <bsmith093> im on a laptop, if it matters.
[09:24] <REK_007> glebihan: yeah am doing it
[09:25] <glebihan> REK_007, ok, have fun :)

[09:27] <knittl> hi. how can i mount a secondary partition so it is writable from normal users?
[09:27] <Juozas> Thanks ActionParsnip, seems to work
[09:27] <knittl> in fstab
[09:28] <Inky-_> #preware
[09:28] <Inky-_> oops sorry lol
[09:29] <bais> ... I hate win7... but I must use it for work... :(  but sometime I can switch to my ubuntu installation... and today... GRLDR error blocked my passion... :( any help? I found something about grub4dos is it a good tool to resolve my situation ?
[09:29] <Guest33412> what is the error msg?
[09:30] <bais> cannot find GRLBR in all devices: press Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart
[09:30] <glebihan> knittl, what filesystem in on that partition ? fat32 ?
[09:30] <bais> ntfs :(
[09:30] <Zimsky> back
[09:30] <bais> I'm using ubuntu 11.04
[09:31] <Guest33412> did you try to run ubuntu live and check whether ur ntfs partition is accessible ?
[09:32] <bais> I'm on ntfs partition atm under (sob) win7
[09:32] <Guest33412> so, win7 works out fine yeah?
[09:33] <snuglepuss> has anyone gotten the gomtv stream to work in vlc?
[09:33] <bais> fine... works like win7
[09:33] <knittl> glebihan: ext3
[09:33] <bais> I'm searching on google: http://reboot.pro/7109/
[09:33] <knittl> but currently it's only root-writable …
[09:33] <glebihan> knittl, then permissions are not set in fstab but on the partition itself, use chmod/chown to set the correct partitions
[09:34] <glebihan> knittl, but be careful : is there another system installed on that partition ?
[09:34] <knittl> chown user.user /media/partition?
[09:34] <knittl> glebihan: no, it's simply for data
[09:34] <Nrm> hi everyone

[09:34] <Guest33412> bais: did you install grub4dos manually or did you use a utility?
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> knittl: sudo chown user:user /media/partition
[09:35] <knittl> glebihan: ActionParsnip: yay, worked. thanks
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> knittl: use: chown -R      for recursive
[09:35] <knittl> i wonder why i never thought of that
[09:35] <bais> I never installed grub4dos, I used ubuntu cdrom installation
[09:35] <glebihan> knittl, ok then you could do "sudo chown user:user /media/partition" (: and not .)
[09:35] <ActionParsnip> knittl: np man
[09:35] <glebihan> knittl, you're wleomc

[09:36] <Guest33412> ok, so you installed ubuntu using wubi?
[09:36] <bais> yes wubi
[09:36] <g0th> hi
[09:36] <glebihan> knittl, weird, it's undocumented
[09:36] <zvacet> Boothk : 9.10 is not supported any more that can be source of your troubles
[09:36] <knittl> glebihan: i know ;)
[09:36] <g0th> I bought a 120Hz 3d monitor
[09:36] <knittl> probably non-standard
[09:36] <g0th> In system settings on kubuntu I however only can select 50Hz
[09:36] <Guest33412> bais: there's a pc that had ubuntu installed using wubi but unfortunately i uninstalled it!
[09:36] <g0th> or 50-55Hz
[09:37] <Guest33412> bais: ok, are you on windows right now? i mean the same pc?
[09:37] <bais> guest: do you think if I start wubi again it will fix me ?
[09:37] <bais> yes same pc
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> g0th: what video chip?
[09:37] <Guest33412> bais: no i don't think it's a good idea
[09:38] <REK_007> glebihan: I did it finally :)
[09:38] <Boothk> zvacet: I know, but I haven't got a script set up to configure Ubuntu 11 for a school environment yet

[09:38] <Asad2005> tomodachi: dmesg did not display the serial but i got it with smartctl -a /dev/sdd

[09:38] <pindropper> I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I am using ssmtp on ubuntu 10.04. I've configured it use my google apps account. Everything works perfectly, except the "From" name is always www-data. What am I missing? I tried to override this by using the override config option of ssmtp, but to no avail. Any ideas?
[09:38] <Boothk> zvacet: So I'm using my 9.10 script. I'm having these issues on fresh installs
[09:38] <REK_007> glebihan: is there a way to check which libtorrent is packed with 1.3.1 ?
[09:39] <glebihan> Hyperbyte, I think you just have to put a line containing "respawn" in your init script
[09:39] <Tech-1> ActionParsnip , i have a eeepc with 10.10 on it, i also had 9.10 on another part of it, i deleted 9.10 and now grub is asking 4 rescue, mind you, it only has a sd card port, how can i rescue grub ?
[09:40] <Hyperbyte> glebihan, systemd uses init scripts?
[09:40] <g0th> ActionParsnip: video chip in the monitor?
[09:41] <Tech-1> no goth, your graphics card
[09:41] <g0th> my graphics card is nvidia gtx 260
[09:41] <g0th> geforce
[09:41] <glebihan> Hyperbyte, oh sorry read you post a little too fast... I don't know about systemd
[09:41] <Guest33412> bais: i know how to use grub4dos or install it. but i don't know how does wubi name the files and where it places them. so i searched google and found the following:
[09:41] <Guest33412> bais: I had this problem as well:
[09:41] <Guest33412> Error.cannot find GRLDR in all devices. Press ctrl+alt+del to restart
[09:41] <Guest33412> I solved it quite easily after checking some blogs.
[09:41] <Guest33412> I searched the WUBILDR.* files on my Windows 7. They were located on the ubuntu folder. I copied -not moved- the 3 files directly to c:/
[09:41] <Guest33412> and it worked!!

[09:49] <van7hu> how could I install gcc if my system does not have gcc?
[09:49] <ActionParsnip> hell_razer: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ubuntu-11.04-alternate-i386.iso   I assume 32bit
[09:49] <th0r> bobdobbs: how are you killing your firewall?
[09:50] <bobdobbs> iptables -F
[09:50] <ActionParsnip> bobdobbs: ok so you are certainly using iptables, do you use a GUI app to configure it?
[09:50] <bobdobbs> well, first I tried turning off iptables with ufw, then gufw
[09:50] <bobdobbs> but the fw wouldn't stay down
[09:50] <hell_razer> ActionParsnip: thnx
[09:51] <bobdobbs> So I switched to just using iptables from the commandline
[09:51] <bobdobbs> For some reason my iptables rulesets stop me from using hostgators cpanel, so I need to take it down every time I connect to hostgator...
[09:51] <alpha> How do I make a diff between two folders (including subfolders) and get a list of which files are in one folder but not the other?
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> bobdobbs: why not add a rule to allow the traffic, then you can keep the firewall up
[09:52] <bobdobbs> but I kept finding that while I was connected to my cpanel, the cpanel would stop being responsive. So I'd do 'iptables -L', and there was suddenly a ruleset, from out of nowhere.
[09:53] <th0r> bobdobbs: did you use gufw to define the firewall in the first place?
[09:53] <bobdobbs> ActionParsnip: because adding and removing rules via ufw seemed to be unreliable
[09:53] <bobdobbs> th0r: no
[09:53] <bobdobbs> initially, I was using ufw to add allow and deny rules.
[09:54] <bobdobbs> but the rules wouldn't always take effect
[09:54] <dubs__> hi again, if i want to install windows on second hd and not mess with ubuntu on first what is best way?
[09:54] <bobdobbs> Like, I was trying to allow the use of the port that my hosts cpanel uses to connect to my browser
[09:54] <bobdobbs> and I tried 'ufw allow 22', as well, to allow ssh
[09:55] <bobdobbs> but, those commands weren't effective,
[09:55] <bobdobbs> so I just drop the firewall
[09:55] <bobdobbs> But then, the firewall comes back up, from out of nowhere.
[09:56] <dubs__> anyone?
[09:56] <Unknown_Frequenc> hello! Is there a way to change the terminal name into the name of the file your working on (in vim in my case)
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> dubs__: just go for it, the windows boot loader will be added to the other drive, the BIOS will still point to the Ubuntu drive and you can add windows to Grub after the install
[09:57] <ActionParsnip> dubs__: try having patience, somebody will answer
[09:57] <dubs__> ActionParsnip: cool thx
[09:58] <bobdobbs> the firewall also doesn't allow my computer to icmp traffic... which is very inconvenient
[09:58] <VictorCl2> hi, how can I access a share folder on a windows machine from ubuntu 11 ?
[09:58] <bobdobbs> ufw wouldn't allow me to allow icmp traffic
[09:58] <dubs__> sry :o)
[09:58] <bobdobbs> So I need the firewall down sometimes
[09:59] <cypha> how do I unmount something?
[10:00] <bobdobbs> I dropped my fw about ten minutes ago, and it's come up by itself already
[10:00] <bobdobbs> this makes me sad
[10:00] <glebihan> cypha, use "umount"
[10:00] <ActionParsnip> cypha: sudo umount /mount/point
[10:00] <bobdobbs> zombie firewell
[10:00] <th0r> bobdobbs: I would try deleting the rules using ufw. I suspect ufw has the ruleset stored somewhere and is the culprit resetting the firewall. Also, have you checked to see if ufw is running as a process?
[10:00] <bobdobbs> ah, no.
[10:00] <bobdobbs> thanks... I'll look into that.
[10:01] <bobdobbs> no, ufw is not running as a  process
[10:01] <zertyui> hello
[10:01] <cypha> ActionParsnip, it says umount: /mnt: device is busy
[10:01] <th0r> bobdobbs: I never used ufw so this is just conjecture
[10:02] <bobdobbs> Well, I'm ripping it out in case it is the culprit
[10:02] <cypha> ActionParsnip, it's a shared folder with my Windows Host
[10:02] <bobdobbs> 'apt-get purge ufw'
[10:02] <ActionParsnip> cypha: do you have any files open which ae in that folder, is your pwd in that folder?
[10:02] <cypha> nope
[10:03] <zertyui> if i do cat /var/log/messages i got list of info with it representative date and my question is how to grep to a specific date ?
[10:03] <VictorCl2> why isnt smbclient installed by default?
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> cypha: try:  lsof | grep mnt
[10:03] <ActionParsnip> VictorCl2: it is
[10:04] <cypha> cwd   DIR    8,1   4096
[10:04] <cypha> bash lsof grep and lsof
[10:05] <bobdobbs> hm... it did it again.
[10:05] <bobdobbs> I tore out ufw, and dropped my firewall with 'iptables -F'
[10:05] <bobdobbs> and the firewall started again
[10:05] <A_J> Hey All can som1 tell me how i can fix my movie player it crashes when i try to open a dvd
[10:05] <drudge01> sudo apt-get install vlc
[10:06] <A_J> drudge01, for me
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> A_J: does it happen in all apps?
[10:06] <dr-willis> A_J:  you did install the decss stuff like the dvd guide mentions?
[10:06] <A_J> oh hai ActionParsnip. no just movie player
[10:06] <ActionParsnip> A_J: thought to try another...
[10:07] <th0r> bobdobbs: is there perhaps a cron script running? I know when I configured iptables ages back I had to write a script for bootup to install all the rules. Haven't messed with it in years so not sure now
[10:07] <drudge01> im gonna be in the UK in 2 weeks bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!
[10:07] <A_J> ActionParsnip, well VLC is not running. I had told you why if you can remember
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> drudge01: been here all my life, it's not that exciting ;)
[10:07] <qin> zertyui: grep hh:mm /var/log/messages
[10:07] <ActionParsnip> A_J: try it, see if it is all apps, or just totem
[10:07] <g0th> can anyone help me: how do I setup 3d vision in linux?
[10:07] <drudge01> actionParsnip: im coming from South Africa
[10:07] <bobdobbs> ActionParsnip: unlikely.
[10:07] <g0th> I have an nvidia geforce gtx 260
[10:07] <bobdobbs> I'll have a look though
[10:08] <cypha> ActionParsnip, it worked, thank you
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> cypha: sweet
[10:08] <A_J> it's just movie player. vlc has other issues. when i keep the pc on for a long time, the display doesnt work after a while
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> bobdobbs: its good to explore
[10:08] <VictorCl2> http://i.imgur.com/VMkk2.gif
[10:08] <ActionParsnip> A_J: did you install the dvd decoder?
[10:08] <fossala> Can anyone reference me to an artical on mutitouch trackpads in ubuntu/unity
[10:08] <drudge01> ActionParnsip: where in england u from?
[10:09] <A_J> yes ActionParsnip
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> drudge01: leeds
[10:09] <th0r> bobdobbs: I am working on the assumption the machine does as it's told. I don't think iptables has any ability to resurrect itself, so something else must be doing it
[10:09] <sunit_> I am getting Exception in thread "main" java.awt.HeadlessException in lucid when running jasper ireport. please see http://dpaste.com/602495/
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> A_J: does it happen a another user
[10:09] <A_J> yes all users
[10:09] <drudge01> ActionParsnip: im going to Lake District :D then to New Quay
[10:09] <A_J> perhaps a reinstall ActionParsnip ?
[10:09] <ActionParsnip> A_J: hmm, try running the app from terminal, the output may be useful
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> drudge01: lakes is niiice :)
[10:10] <drudge01> ActionParsnip: What is affordable internet i can go?
[10:10] <drudge01> 3G?
[10:10] <A_J> vlc or movie player ActionParsnip ?
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> drudge01: 3G is fine
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> A_J: either
[10:10] <ActionParsnip> A_J: or even both
[10:10] <dr-willis> and mplayer. ;)
[10:11] <g0th> how do I set the refresh rate of my monitor to 120Hz?
[10:11] <iceroot_> what is a process in top using []? what is the difference to a process without []?
[10:11] <A_J> no ActionParsnip. I had told you a while back, after keeping pc on for a day the display module of vlc i think crashes
[10:11] <ActionParsnip> A_J: then just run totem, see how it goes
[10:11] <g0th> I have an nvidia geforce gtx 260 graphics card, i.e. nvidia-settings
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> g0th: should be in nvidia-settings
[10:12] <daedra> hello, I would like to set my iPod up for use with gtkpod. How do you do this?
[10:12] <daedra> I have a 2nd gen shuffle, and it /used/ to work with gtkpod. However, now it only charges by USB and does not show up in /dev
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> A_J: could install gnome-mplayer and try that too.
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> !info ifuse | daedra
[10:13] <A_J> ActionParsnip, :http://pastebin.com/hrRxpBfS
[10:13] <g0th> ActionParship: it doesn't allow me to select 120Hz?
[10:13] <g0th> ActionParship: only up to 60, does this depend on the hdmi cable?
[10:17] <th0r> bobdobbs: try this....issue the iptables --flush, then 'service iptables save'. See if that keeps it from resetting
[10:18] <user> Gooday all, what trouble do we have today with Ubuntu. I can tell you I've got plenty today. How can I re-update the last kernel?
[10:18] <bobdobbs> th0r: will do. thanks.
[10:18] <g0th> anyone?
[10:18] <th0r> bobdobbs: but that will erase the rules, so make sure you have a way to retrieve them
[10:19] <bobdobbs> is 'service iptables save' a frontend for 'iptables-save' ?
[10:19] <daxu> hi somebody can help me
[10:19] <user> daxu: I'll try
[10:19] <daxu> can u help me,download Sun Java Wireless Toolkit
[10:20] <VectorX> hi, i am interested in setting up a multiseat setup, is there a place that explains some scenarios, like images that can be loaded for specific users, ie, programers will have programming apps, graphics people will have there stuff, so when you create a new user account it will have what ever apps for the user ?
[10:20] <th0r> bobdobbs:  I believe they do the same thing. Here is what I am looking at...seems Centos might have some good info on iptables operation...http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/Deployment_Guide/s1-iptables-saving.html
[10:20] <daxu> and send to my email
[10:20] <oCean> !details daxu
[10:20] <oCean> !details | daxu
[10:21] <th0r> bobdobbs: from that page, maybe 'service iptables stop' would work
[10:21] <th0r> bobdobbs: it indicates a difference between the iptables command and the iptables service
[10:21] <ActionParsnip> g0th: you could run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings    set a resolution and a refresh rate in the app and click "Save to X config file" then run:  gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   and change the refresh rate there
[10:21] <dr-willis> VectorX:  not seen any guides on setting up custome sessiins like that. it could be doable with custom changes to the users configs.
[10:21] <bobdobbs> th0r: I have an interesting relationship with iptables. I feel like an abused spouse with recurrent amnesia
[10:21] <daxu> i have a problem with Sun Java Wireless Toolkit ,i can not download it ,can somebody download and send to my email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>u very much
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> A_J: any bugs reported with /usr/lib/libQtCore.so.4 ?
[10:22] <VectorX> dr-willis ic\
[10:22] <th0r> bobdobbs: it has been years, but I recall that once I figured it out it was nice, but it took a bit to learn how to control it
[10:22] <A_J> ActionParsnip, not sure
[10:22] <bobdobbs> Like, it beats me around, so I deal with it. Problem sorted, I forget about it... then, a few months down the track, it becomes problematic again, so I have to relearn it to figure out the how to solve the problem
[10:22] <user> daxu: I'll try t download that
[10:22] <zertyui> thanks qin
[10:22] <zertyui> thanks qin
[10:22] <g0th> ActionParsnip: I don't trust the "save to X config file" option
[10:23] <bobdobbs> Does that make me a recurrent amnesiac, or a recurrent expert?
[10:23] <oCean> daxu: how is that an ubuntu issue?
[10:23] <th0r> bobdobbs: one thing that made life easier was to use a text file in ~ for the rules, and tell iptables to read it. That way looking at and editing rules was easy. I just -F and then -L
[10:23] <daxu> thank you user
[10:23] <g0th> ActionParsnip: can you maybe give me the correct line in the configuration file?
[10:23] <daxu> 11.04 i use
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> g0th: you'll see it, the file is very readable
[10:23] <oCean> daxu: yes, but your download problem
[10:23] <g0th> I dont see a refresh rate anywhere there
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> g0th: look in the monitor and screen sections
[10:23] <rectec794613> hi just a general question about ram. Will using less memory improve performance? Will it use less electricity?
[10:24] <bobdobbs> th0r: in a way, saving config's for iptables is a part of the problem... because saves ruleset let you forget how iptables actually works :0
[10:24] <daxu> i live in china ,in here i can not download it
[10:24] <g0th> ActionParsnip: I dont see it
[10:24] <g0th> hmm, xorg.conf is soooo small
[10:24] <g0th> it used to be like 20 times bigger
[10:24] <dr-willis> rectec794613:  i would doubt if it would
[10:24] <g0th> wth is going on?
[10:24] <user> daxu: My browser is just broken at the moment...now waiting for the download
[10:24] <oCean> rectec794613: try ##hardware channel for general discussion
[10:25] <daedra> ActionParsnip: googling ifuse gives: "libimobiledevice: Teaching Penguins to talk to fruits"
[10:25] <bullgard4_> mc shows the timestamp of a file valid at the time when mc has displayed the directory of that file. Is there a key combination to update the displayed timestamps of the files in the current directory?
[10:25] <daedra> greatest. tagline. ever.
[10:25] <th0r> bobdobbs: well, like I said, I would just empty iptables and then tell it to reread the file. Only had to remember two commands, and could sit in front of a text editor tinkering with a new rule at my leisure
[10:25] <rectec794613> oCean: ok just thought i could get a quick answer here while it's on my mind
[10:25] <Hadoken> hi people
[10:25] <oCean> rectec794613: no problem, but we try to keep this channel on topic.
[10:26] <dr-willis> bullgard4:  you mean reload or refresh the listing? ctrl l. perhaps
[10:26] <Hadoken> kernel: [27326.778969] mysqld[6839]: segfault at 328 ip 00007f4ee62811bd sp 00007f4ddef81820 error 4 in libpthread-2.11.2.so[7f4ee6275000+17000] anyone knows this error is about?
[10:26] <A_J> ActionParsnip, any idea how to fix vlc
[10:26] <th0r> bobdobbs: I remember now....I wrote up a script with the individual iptables commands and kept it in ~. I would -F and then run that script, which reentered the rules one by one.
[10:28] <bobdobbs> th0r: I discovered that an old site I used to use to generate rules is still online (after all these years). I used it to generate a ruleset, and I saved the ruleset.
[10:29] <bobdobbs> I loaded the ruleset a few minutes ago, and so far the rules haven't reverted...
[10:29] <bobdobbs> I'm still
[10:29] <bobdobbs> still able to see my hosts cpanel and use ssh to get in to the troublesome computer.
[10:29] <bobdobbs> th0r: that was the other problem. Douchebag firewall was blocking ssh.
[10:30] <th0r> bobdobbs: well, I wouldn't blame iptables itself. After I figured out how to handle it I found iptables to be very nice...much more efficient than any other firewall I ever used
[10:30] <bobdobbs> th0r: true
[10:30] <bobdobbs> interesting.
[10:31] <bobdobbs> Yeah, I don't blame iptables.
[10:31] <bobdobbs> I was about to start blaming ubuntu for maybe doing something unconventional perhaps, that I couldn't see.
[10:31] <bobdobbs> but, I'm not sure what it is/was
[10:31] <stalkers> I just restarted my server 11.04 and it installed some updates, now after the restart I cant access the internet, any one know why?
[10:31] <th0r> bobdobbs: that was a thought nagging at me as well <smile>.
[10:32] <bobdobbs> hehe :)
[10:32] <user> My browser STILL doesn't work. Can anyone tell me what files Google Chrome & Chromium are using
[10:32] <bobdobbs> Yeah. I like ubuntu. But's it's funny like that sometimes.
[10:32] <bobdobbs> user: lsof ?
[10:32] <user> lsof?
[10:32] <th0r> bobdobbs: well, that is what sent me to debian eventually
[10:33] <airtonix> user: excellent bug report there old chap... not much we can do with such vague reports
[10:33] <bobdobbs> user: I think you can use lsof to see which files are being accessed by which program. If that's what you want to do.
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> A_J: what version do you have and what release do you have?
[10:33] <bobdobbs> th0r: I see
[10:33] <Arthur7x> Could somebody explain me how to make my micro works well on Skype? It works now when I try to record my voice on Audacity, but that's because I chose the cam option, so it also record my voices (the cam comes with micro), but on skype it only displays pulseaudio, could somebody tell me what to do please :( ? thanks
[10:33] <A_J> the latest version ActionParsnip.
[10:33] <airtonix> a: "whats wrong?" b: "it doesn't work" a: "..."
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> user: files in what way?
[10:33] <bobdobbs> th0r: I used to use debian years ago, but I was on 'stable', and so GIMP was always outdated.
[10:34] <bobdobbs> th0r: I switched to 'unstable'...
[10:34] <bobdobbs> never again!
[10:34] <ActionParsnip> A_J: what is the output of:  apt-cache policy vlc; cat /etc/lsb-release      use a pastebin to host
[10:34] <th0r> bobdobbs: well, I was brought up old school and would have no problem compiling from source if I really needed something up to date. But in retirement I only need something that works
[10:34] <bobdobbs> understood
[10:35] <user> Google Chrome & Chromium are working fine..UNTIL I search with Google and I get a result which include mulitiple results under on site
[10:35] <A_J> ActionParsnip, : http://pastebin.com/yhh9nhm3
[10:35] <Arthur7x> Could somebody help me? I've installed Skype and micro doesn't seems to be working. I had to chose an option on Audacity (the cam comes with a microphone, so I selected it on input) but that option isn't displayed in Skype Settings. Please, I really need somebody ): thanks
[10:35] <bobdobbs> th0r: I started on distro's that you installed without a gui. Kind of a psudeo-gui from what I remember.
[10:35] <bobdobbs> th0r: So, I learnt a lot.
[10:36] <ActionParsnip> A_J: you are using a PP, which we cannot support.
[10:36] <th0r> bobdobbs: gui? I started with slackware 1.0 on a 386 machine <smile> We didn't know how to spell 'gui'
[10:36] <Arthur7x> Could somebody help me? I've installed Skype and micro doesn't seems to be working. I had to chose an option on Audacity (the cam comes with a microphone, so I selected it on input) but that option isn't displayed in Skype Settings. Please, I really need somebody ): thanks
[10:36] <bobdobbs> th0r: redhat made me dumb. That and ubuntu do so much thinking for you, that I've forgotten a lot of fundamentals
[10:36] <A_J> ActionParsnip, well you linked to the PP
[10:36] <yrg> http://search.cpan.org/~chrmue/Socket-Class-2.256/Class.pod <-- Is this packaged in Ubuntu?
[10:36] <bobdobbs> th0r: heheheh
[10:36] <A_J> cause the normal version was not working ActionParsnip
[10:36] <user> For example. If I do a search for cat & dogs then I get single listings. BUT if I do a search for Webupd8 then I get multiple results under their listings. THAT stalls Chrome & Chromium
[10:37] <th0r> bobdobbs: well, Irene is about to start making my life interesting so time to get off the boat and find shelter. Good luck with the firewall
[10:37] <bobdobbs> th0r: thanks. Enjoy the weekend :)
[10:37] <bobdobbs> th0
[10:37] <bobdobbs> th0r: and stay safe
[10:38] <p1l0t> sup
[10:38] <A_J> sup
[10:38] <Arthur7x> Could somebody help me? I've installed Skype and micro doesn't seems to be working. I had to chose an option on Audacity (the cam comes with a microphone, so I selected it on input) but that option isn't displayed in Skype Settings. Please, I really need somebody ): thanks T_T
[10:38] <user> Maybe I should just delete or scrap Ubuntu. Maybe that will solve my problems
[10:39] <jrib> user: please stick to support

[10:48] <user> jrib: 2 days ago I did an kernel update. After that I uninstalled something that is required by Google Chrome. Now my browser is broken
[10:48] <Amaranth> Someguy2|Home: Alpha 3, Beta 1 is Sep 1
[10:48] <jrib> user: what is the "something"?
[10:48] <jnsl_> i just installed safari with wine, but i get a blank screen where pages are suppose to be shown
[10:48] <jrib> jnsl_: why don't you use one of the many native linux browsers?
[10:48] <Arthur7x> Thank you jrib and ubottu for helping me :)
[10:48] <jrib> Arthur7x: no problem :D
[10:49] <user> jrib: Thats the problem I don't know. The only way to get that back is to redo the last kernel update
[10:49] <jnsl_> jriv i develop websites and need to test sites in different browsers, i use firefox
[10:49] <jnsl_> jrib * :)
[10:49] <jrib> user: why did you remove it?  How did it get removed?
[10:49] <yrg> http://search.cpan.org/~chrmue/Socket-Class-2.256/Class.pod <-- Is this packaged in Ubuntu? (Perl's Socket::Class)
[10:49] <ActionParsnip> jnsl_: http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/03/howto-install-safari-on-ubuntu-with.html
[10:49] <jrib> jnsl_: check appdb.winehq.org
[10:50] <jrib> jnsl_: if you can't get it to work in wine, consider using a vm with windows instead
[10:50] <jnsl_> aye
[10:50] <user> jrib: It install all these crape like "Mines" and stuff so I uninstalled via the software centre.
[10:51] <jnsl_> might have to make a vm for each safari and ie :(
[10:51] <jrib> user: Mines?
[10:51] <Hoyt> hi , what's a recommended DVD burner ?
[10:51] <Hoyt> xfburn doesn't recognize my 4.5G ISO image and a 4.7G DVD-R
[10:51] <user> jrib: The game plus other software which I don't need
[10:51] <yrg> brasero?
[10:51] <yrg> Hoyt: brasero?
[10:52] <Hoyt> yrg: installing , i'll take a shot
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> Hoyt: did you MD5 test the ISO?
[10:52] <jrib> user: what action did you take that prompted this?
[10:52] <yrg> Hoyt: ok
[10:52] <daedra> anyone got their iPod docking successfully in 11.04?
[10:52] <Hoyt> ActionParsnip: no , i modified a ISO image with isomaster
[10:52] <daedra> if so, how did you get it working?
[10:52] <ActionParsnip> Hoyt: i see
[10:53] <user> jrib: Do you mean what my problem is?
[10:53] <daedra> damn you ipod shuffle! it's not even showing up in dmesg
[10:54] <Hoyt> Wired , my disc says it has 4.7GB space , while brasero only recognize it as 4.4 GB
[10:54] <daedra> but it charges when I plug it in via USB
[10:54] <auronandace> user: i think he wants to know how you uninstalled the software
[10:54] <jrib> user: well you gave some vague description above about how chrome behavior changed after some package was removed.  I'm trying to understand what package was removed by determining how/why it was removed.  Thus why I am asking you what action you took that removed the package
[10:55] <daedra> damnit
[10:56] <user> jrib: I had Google Chrome installed and later I did an update and saw that Chromium was installed so I removed that plus other related sottware from the software entre
[10:57] <jrib> user: what is "that and other related software"?
[10:57] <bullgard4_> dr-willis: I have found three statements for 'Ctrl+L': i.) Currently Ctrl+L is used to refresh the screen. ii.) Ctrl+L will repaint the screen. iii.)Ctrl+L = Refresh. What does that mean precisely? Probably not to take a sip out of a Coca Cola bottle.
[10:57] <user> jrib: I'm not sure anymore...I have been removing and updating software for n week now to get this sloved
[10:58] <auronandace> user: sounds like you've removed dependancies that you didn't realise you needed
[10:59] <user> jrib: How do I get that back?
[10:59] <dr-willis> bullgard4:  redraws the screen
[10:59] <jrib> user: I don't know what "that" is
[10:59] <auronandace> user: if you don't know what you've removed it would be better to start anew with a fresh install
[11:00] <bullgard4_> dr-willis: But my intention is not to redraw the screen image but to update the data displayed. Can you see the difference?
[11:00] <user> jrib: I think is must be related to diplaying HTML5 page result that stalls Chrome
[11:01] <daedra> Hello, I have an interesting problem: iPod 2nd gen shuffle 4GB used to mount and work with gtkpod in ubuntu 11.04, now it doesn't even show up in dmesg when docked. However, it does charge.
[11:01] <dr-willis> bullgard4:  it may do both. never noticed.  check the man page perhaps
[11:01] <wilder> What's up chickens
[11:01] <daedra> AFAIK nothink has changed in my system, but the iPod may have changed. Has anyone experienced this?
[11:01] <bullgard4_> dr-willis: Thank you.
[11:02] <user> How do I refresh my taskbar menu to show an Icon?
[11:03] <jwalker> can anybody help me with enabling aladdin etoken on ubuntu...
[11:04] <user> auronandace: If I have to reinstall then I'll rather go back to Windows. With Windows I only need to reinstall with Virus related issues.
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> daedra: it will charge due to the +5v line on the USB.
[11:04] <nunne> having problems with mdadm.. just created a node /dev/md0 and everything worked, mounted it etc.. after reboot it was gone (probably misconfigured mdadm.conf)... but when trying to create it again with the same mdadm --create -command i get /dev/sdb1 not suitable for any style of array
[11:04] <nunne> what gives? :/
[11:04] <ActionParsnip> daedra: does it mount in a different OS?
[11:04] <stalkers> ActionParsnip any idea what my problem might be?
[11:05] <user> How do I refresh the Taskbar Menu to show Icons
[11:06] <ActionParsnip> stalkers: about what?
[11:07] <stalkers> ActionParsnip you told me to ping <IP_ADDRESS>, and I wrote. ActionParsnip it just gives me "From <IP_ADDRESS> icmp_seq=2 destination host Unreachable"
[11:08] <nunne> ahh, found it.. ubuntu has named my md-device something totally different from my mdadm.conf :)
[11:08] <user> I JUST FIXED THE PROBLEM AFTER A WEEK OF STRUGGLE...YIPPEEEEE
[11:08] <daedra> ActionParsnip: I have tried in 3 types of Linux
[11:09] <daedra> ActionParsnip: unfortunately I have no other OS available to test
[11:09] <auronandace> !yay | user
[11:09] <hakermania> !rtfm
[11:09] <daedra> !boo | daed
[11:10] <ActionParsnip> stalkers: could be route related, or IP related. Does the interface have an IP address?
[11:11] <ActionParsnip> daedra: sounds like a damaged device, when you last unplugged it, what steps did you take?
[11:11] <ninoz> hey, i have a xvnc4 server running and i cant remember how i started it at boot, looked in xinetd and init.d but nothing obvious, can i track the calling script using the PID?
[11:12] <Peping> hello. I have a Lenovo V560 with a new hard drive. The laptop comes with a Broadcom Wi-Fi. The problem is that when I installed Ubuntu 11.04 (i tried twice, once using Wubi next to Windows 7, once to a separate partition), the WiFi stops working on *both* systems. Is it possible, that Ubuntu install is messing with BIOS? The first time i had to solve it through a re
[11:12] <Peping> -install of Windows 7
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> Peping: do you hibernate the Windows OS?
[11:13] <ActionParsnip> Peping: or the Ubuntu OS?
[11:13] <Peping> ActionParsnip: Not usually
[11:13] <daedra> AlexC_: unfortunately it's my grandad's and I wasn't there to see him bork it. It's linux 2.6.38
[11:13] <Peping> ActionParsnip: I did not when installing Ubuntu
[11:14] <ActionParsnip> Peping: is there a switch to enable/disable the device?
[11:15] <Peping> ActionParsnip: Yes, and it seems like Windows registers it correctly - that is it registers correctly the state of the switch, but it does not affect the state of Wi-Fi, which seems to be "turned off" in either position of the switch
[11:16] <Peping> ActionParsnip: The main thing that bugs me though is how is it possible that it stopped working in Windows? Right after installing Ubuntu.
[11:18] <ActionParsnip> Peping: disable Windows' ability to power manage the device, also turn of Windows' ability to be woken up by the device (all in device manager)
[11:19] <user_758> ***Attention*** Firefox Users = If you ever what to use Google Chrome or Chromium. Please rememnber to uninstall "Ad-Block Plus" That just F@cksup all Google Browsers
[11:19] <Peping> ActionParsnip: Done, should I restart now?
[11:19] <ActionParsnip> Peping: sure, see how it goes
[11:20] <auronandace> user_758: works here for me (firefox and chromium)
[11:21] <JWay> i5 intel hd graphics, ubuntu 11.04 - constantly there is tearing in youtube videos and mkv videos. Like vsync is disabled?
[11:22] <user_758> auronandace: Do me a favour. With Chromum go to Google.com and search Webupd8 and press enter. Wait for 5 seconds
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> JWay: can you give the output of:  lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | egrep "flash|gnash|swf"
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> JWay: use a pastebin to host
[11:23] <Peping> ActionParsnip: Nothing changed. I have an idea though. When I was installing Windows onto the new hard drive, I've noticed that a lot of the drivers on Lenovo's website were out of date... I'm going to check this now.
[11:23] <auronandace> user_758: done
[11:23] <ActionParsnip> Peping: if you run:  sudo lshw -C network    do you see the device?
[11:23] <user_758> auronandace: What version Ubutnu are you using?
[11:23] <auronandace> user_758: what happens for you?
[11:24] <auronandace> user_758: 11.04 xubuntu
[11:24] <JWay> ActionParsnip, , sure -> http://pastebin.com/AjBN4u7i
[11:24] <user_758> auronandace: Google Chrome & Chromium stalls when I did that. Now it's fixed
[11:24] <user_758> I'm on Ubuntu 10.10
[11:24] <Wiz_KeeD> hey guys, can anyone please tel me how i can find out if my distribution is strictly the server one or if it does have a gui
[11:24] <Wiz_KeeD> i'm in 10.10 too
[11:24] <Peping> ActionParsnip: That's the other problem that I'll be solving later. I may have messed up installing GRUB, Windows bootloader seems to still be the default. Now I'm going to try to fix Windows :)
[11:25] <JWay> ActionParsnip, happens in vlc also when playing mkv files
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> JWay: try: sudo dpkg -P flashplugin64-installer; sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer; sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-installer
[11:25] <user_758> auronandace: whats diffrent in Xubuntu compared to Ubuntu?
[11:25] <auronandace> user_758: xfce instead of gnome or unity
[11:25] <ActionParsnip> user_758: it uses XFCE and lighter apps, rather than Gnome
[11:26] <dageriv> I am trying to create 1000 threads with pthread_create, the the 380th thread creation always fails. (sometimes it fails on 379). is this some limit in ubuntu?
[11:26] <user_758> Is it more user friendly? Or should I stay with buntu for that?
[11:27] <ActionParsnip> user_758: depends, sometimes yes, sometimes no. Smae with any DE
[11:27] <user_758> How do I refresh my Icons in my taskbar
[11:27] <auronandace> user_758: depends on what you like, I don't like unity's interface and I've never liked gnome2 (and especially don't like gnome3)
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> unity runs in gnome2 on natty
[11:28] <user_758> auronandace: It just seems that most apps are for gnome
[11:28] <JWay> ActionParsnip, done still tearing. Do I need to reboot? My xorg.conf is here http://pastebin.com/pxrpxhLN - does it need more info on setting the monitor refresh rate? it is a laptop.
[11:28] <ActionParsnip> JWay: no, this isn't windows
[11:29] <JWay> :)
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> JWay: not sure otherwise man, you have 64bit flash to match your 64bit OS though :)
[11:29] <auronandace> user_758: I like gtk apps over qt and xfce uses gtk (just like gnome)
[11:29] <JWay> ActionParsnip, okay thanks anyway
[11:29] <auronandace> user_758: anything that works in gnome works in xfce
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> you can run KDE apps in XFCE too...
[11:31] <bullgard4_> What actions will cahnge the contents of the file /var/lib/dpkg/status?
[11:31] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4_: upgrades/installs and removals
[11:32] <user_758> Can I run Compiz in xfce? I like the effects
[11:32] <auronandace> user_758: yes
[11:34] <user_758> Can anyone tell me how to refresh icons listing in taskbar!
[11:34] <Wiz_KeeD> anyone?
[11:34] <dr-willis> in xfce?
[11:35] <dr-willis> and clarify what icon listing means.
[11:40] <Theishi> I am having trouble sending emails. I am trying to use exim4 and after running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config', I get an error message about paniclog containing errors. Paniclog says something about 'socket bind' port 25, and localhost already in use
[11:42] <bullgard4_> ActionParsnip: I have removed a tab in my Firefox. The output of '/var/lib/dpkg$ stat status' has not changed.
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4_: yes, you haven't uninstalled firefox, a tab in firefox will not alter that file
[11:44] <Aldus> Hi. Trying to activate an iPad on my ubuntu laptop and following this tutorial: http://bernaerts.dyndns.org/linux/185-ubuntu-ipad-activate I get stuck at one point where i have to do: ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr  .... It says "no package libusbmuxd found"
[11:44] <Aldus> "Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
[11:44] <Aldus> installed software in a non-standard prefix."
[11:44] <daedra> Hello, I have an interesting problem: iPod 2nd gen shuffle 4GB used to mount and work with gtkpod in 3 linux distros, and it now only shows up in dmesg.
[11:44] <ActionParsnip> !find libusbmuxd
[11:45] <ActionParsnip> Aldus: install libusbmuxd-dev
[11:45] <Aldus> ActionParsnip, great.
[11:45] <Aldus> ActionParsnip, however installing it didn't change the error
[11:45] <bullgard4_> ActionParsnip: But you said: "removals will change the contents of the file /var/lib/dpkg/status.
[11:46] <bullgard4_> "
[11:46] <ActionParsnip> bullgard4_: yes, of packages. Think about what dpkg command does ;)
[11:46] <Aldus> ActionParsnip, ok, fixed it :) now next package
[11:46] <Aldus> libplist
[11:46] <Aldus> there are plenty of them
[11:52] <delinquentme> hey all im doing a brand new install and im wondering about this screen here http://cache.techie-buzz.com/images/posts/Screenshot-Edit%20partition.jpg <<  if I have a windows 7 partition sitting next to my ubuntu partition .. are these the right settings?
[11:53] <theadmin> delinquentme: That looks right for the / partition, yes, however please do note that I can't tell anything about your Windows 7 partition from this
[11:53] <delinquentme> specifically im after what the correct mount point
[11:53] <Peping> ActionParsnip: Oh, looks like I solved it in windows... It was turned off in a way I didn't expect. I found some sewer drivers though, so I'm glad I did this.
[11:53] <theadmin> delinquentme: / is correct.
[11:53] <Peping> ActionParsnip: Thanks for help, imma solve the grub problem now :)
[11:53] <delinquentme> theadmin: could you explain what that means?
[11:54] <bubu> hi guys, could anyone advise on best way to duplicate users/groups on different servers? rsync?
[11:54] <theadmin> delinquentme: Well, the Linux filesystem is a bit... weird. / is the root directory, meaning everything resides there
[11:54] <delinquentme> oh ok so its mouning the partition at that dir
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> delinquentme: you can mount anywhere you wish except in /proc
[11:55] <w_> good morning. can anybody help me to type a command in ubuntu to find out my video board model?
[11:55] <delinquentme> ok awesome
[11:55] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Or /dev... I wouldn't suggest mounting anything on /dev
[11:55] <theadmin> w_: inxi -G
[11:55] <delinquentme> type of new partition? primary or logical?
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> delinquentme: if you are instaling you need at least one partition assigned to / to store the system files
[11:55] <delinquentme> primary bc i want grub managing the boot?
[11:55] <theadmin> delinquentme: Should be primary
[11:55] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: oh that'd be fun
[11:56] <daedra> Hello, I have an interesting problem: iPod 2nd gen shuffle 4GB used to mount and work with gtkpod in 3 linux distros, and it now only shows up in dmesg.
[11:56] <delinquentme> awesome
[11:56] <daedra> (note, this has changed to now being recognised in dmesg)
[11:59] <ActionParsnip> daedra: if you run:  sudo fdisk -l    does it show up?

[12:21] <glebihan> izinucs, do you know why your disk is so full ? did you store data on the root partition or is it just packages ?
[12:21] <user_496> Nevermind
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> HSarena: use ccsm
[12:22] <izinucs> glebihan: gotta be packages.. I have a separate /home partition for my stuff.. unless it's because of /var/www/ stuff..
[12:22] <improveupon> right well the image is one file, and i will be restoring it using linux. the image will also be compressed using gzip. (i do not usually clone drives obviously)

[12:24] <glebihan> izinucs, you might want to try "sudo du -hs /*" to find out what is using all that disc space
[12:24] <bazhang> Sargalus, via the package manager?
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> Sargalus: sudo apt-get install tcl
[12:24] <HSarena> bazhang: i use it but i don't know how to enable unity mode
[12:24] <improveupon> thanks anyway
[12:25] <glebihan> izinucs, even with unity and kde it shouldn't use that much spadce
[12:25] <glebihan> *space*
[12:25] <bazhang> HSarena, you need good enough graphics to enable unity mode, and the correct drivers. make sure of that first
[12:25] <sh3rar3> am beginer and i want shorcut keys
[12:25] <izinucs> glebihan: I agree... never had this issue in 6 yrs of running ubuntu..

[12:33] <MN--> hey im wanting to create a computer thats just used as a server so my media pc can stream the moviess stored on it
[12:33] <MN--> whats the best os to use?
[12:33] <izinucs> glebihan: there's a directory /var/spool/cups-pdf/SPOOL that is 3.4 gigs ?? what's that?
[12:33] <bazhang> MN--, this is ubuntu support, what do you expect us to say
[12:34] <bazhang> MN--, look into mediatomb
[12:35] <Sargalus> does ubuntu come with a tempature widget or something to tell you the tempature of your system?
[12:35] <bazhang> !sensors | Sargalus
[12:35] <ActionParsnip> !sensors | Sargalus
[12:35] <bazhang> Sargalus, you can add that to conky if I recall correctly
[12:36] <CarlFK> how do I force a version from my ppa?  https://launchpad.net/~carlfk/+archive/ppa/+packages  I want          dvswitch - 0.9.1-ubuntu1, I am getting 0.9~rc2-ubuntu3
[12:36] <bazhang> HSarena, how did you disable it, and have you got ccsm installed or not
[12:36] <MN--> bazhang i was thinking maybe use ubuntu server thats why
[12:36] <bazhang> MN--, thats fine, there are other options as well (ie cli)
[12:37] <glebihan> izinucs, that looks like the printing queue for the "print to file" fonction
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> MN--: you can use ubuntu server then setup samba shares
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> MN--: any cli distro will do it though if you go that way
[12:37] <perlsyntax> When is ubuntu going to update there perl to perl <IP_ADDRESS>?
[12:37] <iceroot_> perlsyntax: never
[12:37] <Quantum_Ion> lol
[12:37] <izinucs> glebihan: that's what I was thinking. there were 3 files in there taking 3.4 gigs.. that's just huge
[12:37] <perlsyntax> not funny
[12:37] <iceroot_> perlsyntax: you will only get security-updates within one ubuntu-release
[12:38] <glebihan> izinucs, you can delete those files safely
[12:38] <iceroot_> !backports | perlsyntax
[12:38] <glebihan> izinucs, oh guess you did...
[12:38] <izinucs> glebihan: :)
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | perlsyntax try a ppa
[12:38] <Quantum_Ion> perl is not that big of a deal
[12:38] <theeta> Anyone bored enough to help a newbie? :)
[12:38] <glebihan> izinucs, don't know what you tried to print there...
[12:38] <bazhang> theeta, ask the channel
[12:39] <theeta> Well actually i don't know how this happened. But suddenly my only Useraccount is not an admin anymore.
[12:39] <Ray-Tux> hi guys
[12:39] <theeta> I tried rebooting to recovery mode and restoring the /etc/sudoers file. But it said: root not a sudoer.
[12:39] <izinucs> glebihan: whatever it was must have got stuck in a loop or something..
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> theeta: boot to root recovery mode and run:  usermod -a -G admin username
[12:40] <glebihan> izinucs, yes probably
[12:40] <izinucs> glebihan: where is the "root" trash.. what I deleted I need to purge
[12:40] <bais> no way... wubi killed my ubuntu partition :(
[12:41] <theeta> Assuming that will do something, what shall i do next? ( as i said: newbie)
[12:41] <iceroot_> izinucs: there is no trash for root
[12:41] <Quantum_Ion> theeta, How did you manage to screw up your /etc/sudoers file ?
[12:41] <iceroot_> izinucs: trash is also a gui feature and of course you are not starting your gui with root
[12:41] <theeta> I have no f***ing idea
[12:41] <ActionParsnip> theeta: reboot and you will be able to use sudo
[12:41] <bais> there is an expert of wubi online ?
[12:41] <theeta> I rebooted about 25 times now. :(
[12:41] <Quantum_Ion> theeta, You might hve to use your Ubuntu Linux live cd to fix that file
[12:41] <MN--> so is mediatomb the best or is there others?
[12:41] <izinucs> iceroot_: use to be there was a directory that deleted files went to when you did a sudo rm <something>
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> theeta: after running the command I gave, and in the root recovery console??
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> MN--: there is no best anything
[12:42] <glebihan> izinucs, no rm just deletes files
[12:42] <iceroot_> izinucs: no
[12:42] <iceroot_> izinucs: the bash doesnt have a trash
[12:42] <Quantum_Ion> some people are careless when they use rm command
[12:42] <iceroot_> izinucs: so everything deleted with rm is gone
[12:42] <theeta> Well no not after your command. I will try that first. Thanks so far :)
[12:42] <izinucs> glebihan: iceroot_ good.. time to reboot and see if I have enough room to get into the system.
[12:42] <Quantum_Ion> For example, if you do this as root you are fucked rm /
[12:42] <izinucs> glebihan: brb
[12:43] <iceroot_> Quantum_Ion: nothing happening with that
[12:43] <glebihan> izinucs, you might want to try "df -h" first to make sure
[12:43] <izinucs> k
[12:43] <bazhang> Quantum_Ion, dont even joke about that, and no cursing here
[12:43] <orated> Can anyone help me find out why my network management is showing like this - http://imagebin.org/169730 ?
[12:43] <iceroot_> Quantum_Ion: first -r is missing, second, bash has a feature to not delete / directly
[12:43] <orated> even after being connected to network
[12:44] <MN--> okay whats the most recommended to use?
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> orated: are the lights on the nic flashing?
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> MN--: same
[12:44] <izinucs> glebihan: I've now got 2.9 gigs of space.. might be enough to eliminate some packages I've install
[12:44] <glebihan> izinucs, should be
[12:44] <izinucs> brb
[12:44] <ActionParsnip> MN--: I suggest you use samba, your clients will be able to access the shares like windows shares and can stream that way
[12:44] <orated> ActionParsnip: Yeah, packets are sent/received
[12:44] <bazhang> ActionParsnip, he's gone
[12:44] <orated> ActionParsnip: I'm on the same connection
[12:44] <Quantum_Ion> izinucs, You should try install bleachbit it removes files you dont need too and frees up space on your system
[12:46] <orated> ActionParsnip: Moreover, I've no other interface on use
[12:46] <experiMENTAL> hi. i've got sompe problems to autostart my python file on ubuntu. can i get some help here?
[12:47] <experiMENTAL> *some, not sompe (i'm a bit ill today)
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> orated: can you ping websites by name? Can you ping them by IP (<IP_ADDRESS> is a good one to test with)
[12:47] <glebihan> experiMENTAL, what do you mean by autostart ? executing it at the beginning of your session ?
[12:48] <sagaci> experiMENTAL- so what's the problem or are you starting from scratch
[12:48] <orated> ActionParsnip: Yes, 64 bytes from <IP_ADDRESS>: icmp_req=1 ttl=54 time=86.4 ms
[12:48] <theeta> Hi again, usermod -a -G admin username did not help. :(
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> orated: can you ping www.bbc.co.uk ?
[12:48] <experiMENTAL> glebihan: yes. my thread is here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1829280
[12:48] <orated> duh
[12:48] <Quantum_Ion> theeta, Use your Ubuntu Linux live disk to repair your filesystem
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> orated: ?
[12:48] <delinquentme_> YESSS thanks to you guys im nowww talking on my NEW laptop!!!
[12:48] <Quantum_Ion> theeta, Mount your live disk and copy the /etc/sudoers file over to your corrupted system
[12:48] <orated> ActionParsnip: Yes.
[12:49] <theeta> It'll be enough if i mount the image right?
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> theeta: is the user now in the admin group?
[12:49] <theeta> ActionParsnip how do i see that? :(
[12:49] <Quantum_Ion> theeta, Do you have your Ubuntu Live disk ?
[12:49] <delinquentme_> aweso .. so next question .. when were talking hard drives .. ive got a spare .. and id love to stick it in the laptop .. but is there a way to not have it power on unless i tell it to?
[12:49] <BluesKaj> Howdy folks
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> orated: ping to <IP_ADDRESS> may pss but to names my fail if DNS is failing, so its a perfectlyintelligent question
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> theeta: run:   groups
[12:49] <theeta> Yea I got one (somewhere).
[12:49] <Quantum_Ion> ActionParsnip, That's not going to work
[12:50] <orated> ActionParsnip: Yes, it can. I've done this thing
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> orated: a lot of users wil get an IP by DHCP but for some reason they will not get a DNS service given.
[12:50] <glebihan> experiMENTAL, when exactly do you want that file to be executed ? at each start of a shell ?
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> Quantum_Ion: what isn't?
[12:50] <Quantum_Ion> ActionParsnip, She is going to have to use her Ubuntu Live disk
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> Quantum_Ion: who will?
[12:50] <theeta> With groups I get username root ........
[12:50] <Quantum_Ion> ActionParsnip, theeta
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> Quantum_Ion: I'm talking to 2 people ;)
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> theeta: booting to root recovery mode will do it too ;)
[12:50] <glebihan> experiMENTAL, or at the beginning of the GUI session ?
[12:50] <theeta> Quantum_Ion I just hoped there was another way. :p
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> orated: ok so what is the issue?
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> theeta: why are you logging on as root?
[12:51] <experiMENTAL> glebihan: i want that file to be executed at the beginning of my GUI session. my python file is GUI.
[12:51] <theeta> ActionParsnip I did that and tried your command from the root shell prompt and then rebooted twice. No effect.
[12:51] <Quantum_Ion> ActionParsnip, Tell her to use her Ubuntu Live disk and select try ubuntu linux and mount the filesystem and copy the /etc/sudoers file from the live disk to your corrupted filesystem
[12:51] <glebihan> experiMENTAL, ok then .bash_login is not the right place to put it
[12:51] <theeta> Am I ?
[12:51] <theeta> :E
[12:52] <glebihan> experiMENTAL, why don't you simply use the "startup applications" tool to add your script to the applications started at the beginning of the session ?
[12:52] <Quantum_Ion> theeta, Do you have the Ubuntu Live CD ?
[12:52] <theeta> As I said I'm new to Linux. I just created an account when installing and thought that would be my usual account.
[12:53] <experiMENTAL> startup is not catching it (more details here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1829280&page=3 )
[12:53] <orated> ActionParsnip: I've done ping test. And as I said, I'm connected to IRC through same network. I've no other interface enabled. I saw in System Monitor, it reports received.sent data correctly. But only the network management I showed you above is not working ..
[12:53] <theeta> Quantum_Ion yes and i will try that now. :)
[12:53] <Quantum_Ion> theeta, Since you are new this is going to be kind of tricky
[12:55] <Striker3070> is there a history file somewhere that stores the commands that have been typed on command line in the past?
[12:55] <chavo> Striker3070: .bash_history
[12:55] <delinquentme_> when were talking hard drives .. ive got a spare .. and id love to stick it in the laptop .. but is there a way to not have it power on unless i tell it to?
[12:56] <Striker3070> chavo:, thanks hidden no wonder I could not find
[12:56] <delinquentme_> i just dont think theres a reason to put that HD into use and further degradation unless it needs to be
[12:56] <glebihan> experiMENTAL, looks like the problem is in your script
[12:57] <Striker3070> chavo: can I increase the number of commands it retains in history
[12:58] <experiMENTAL> glebihan: my script is working fine when i doubleclick it.
[12:58] <theeta> So where do I find the /etc/sudoers file on the boot CD?
[12:58] <glebihan> experiMENTAL, yes but that  doesn't set all variables (such as path for example) to the same values as launching it at session start
[12:59] <glebihan> experiMENTAL, did you try launching it from a terminal (and from different paths)
[12:59] <solenzo> hello there
[13:00] <theeta> Oops, I should start labeling my CD's. That was win7 :ugly:
[13:00] <solenzo> can someone help me with small problem?
[13:00] <tomodachi> solenzo: dont ask just ask
[13:00] <Quantum_Ion> theeta, this is why its going to be tricky
[13:00] <experiMENTAL> glebihan: message from terminal: bash: ./1.py: /usr/bin: bad interpreter: Permission denied
[13:00] <solenzo> ok :)
[13:00] <experiMENTAL> glebihan: diffrent paths OK
[13:00] <theeta> :))
[13:00] <Quantum_Ion> theeta you have to run the ubuntu linux live cd as try not install
[13:01] <glebihan> experiMENTAL, I though from the thread that the permission denied issue was solved ?
[13:01] <solenzo> i have to run MS SQL SERVER on one machine and app in Yii framework on another. Itried to use MDB2 class mssql connect and nothing works to establish connection with MS SQL database
[13:01] <Quantum_Ion> they you have to mount your old filesystem and copy the /etc/sudoers file from your ubuntu live cd to your corrupted filesystem
[13:01] <bazhang> solenzo, connection to ubuntu there?
[13:01] <solenzo> connection from ubuntu to windows machine
[13:02] <solenzo> each machine in the same internal network
[13:02] <glebihan> experiMENTAL, the first line of your script should be "#! /usr/bin/env python"
[13:02] <experiMENTAL> glebihan: your right. it is working from terminal - not "bash: ./1.py: /usr/bin: bad interpreter: Permission denied" message
[13:02] <glebihan> experiMENTAL, you cannot run a python script with bash...
[13:02] <experiMENTAL> glebihan: there is no message, it is working from terminal.
[13:03] <glebihan> experiMENTAL, then what is that error message you just pasted ?
[13:03] <Quantum_Ion> theeta, Go to Places->OS->yourcoruppted filesystem
[13:03] <solenzo> bazhang: could you give an advice or channel where i can get help :)
[13:04] <experiMENTAL> glebihan: i thought it still exists, but file is OK, so no more messages like that (i'm a bit ill, so i'm thinking poor today, sry :)
[13:05] <glebihan> experiMENTAL, ok so the script is working fine both from double-clicking on it and from terminal (whatever the path your run it from) ?
[13:05] <DeadmanIncJS> got a question on Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit. can i run that on my Win7 machine since Win7 is 64 bit?
[13:05] <experiMENTAL> glebihan: yes, script on terminal OK, on double click OK, running from Desktop folder
[13:06] <glebihan> experiMENTAL, could you pastebin the .desktop file used to launch it ? (the one from ~/.config/autostart)
[13:07] <Quantum_Ion> DeadmanIncJS, Absolutely
[13:07] <theeta> Quantum_Ion: sorry, my Girlfriend just came around... :(
[13:07] <Quantum_Ion> theeta, I thought you were a woman
[13:08] <theeta> And now youre not going to help me anymore? :p
[13:08] <Quantum_Ion> lol
[13:08] <Quantum_Ion> theeta, I told you what to do
[13:08] <Quantum_Ion> theeta, You are going to have to use your Ubuntu Live CD to fix your corrupted filesystem
[13:08] <theeta> Yea I know. Thanks! :) I'll try that as soon as i get a chance. :)
[13:09] <theeta> I'll come by later again just to tell you if it worked. :) Thanks!

[13:12] <Quantum_Ion> NetSplit

[13:22] <experiMENTAL> glebihan: .desktop double click: "The application launcher "1.py.desktop" has not been marked as trusted. If you do not know the source of this file, launching it may be unsafe."
[13:23] <glebihan> experiMENTAL, this doesn't matter. to edit the file, open a terminal and type "gedit /path/to/file"
[13:23] <auronandace> qweqq: how did you rm something that important accidentally?
[13:25] <NetSplitz> qweqq, Good question
[13:25] <CoJaBo> ...o_O
[13:25] <experiMental_> glebihan: i'll relogin now
[13:25] <glebihan> experiMENTAL, ok
[13:25] <qweqq> auronandace: i mounted it in a chroot which then i did sudo rm -R on
[13:26] <auronandace> qweqq: why
[13:27] <eguest309> i want  a shell script which will setup two chrome windows in fullscreen on  one machine in kiosk mode wth another external montiro connected
[13:27]  * CoJaBo umounted / a few hours ago, tho that was on a system dumb enough to let you do that unprivileged -_-'
[13:27] <eguest309> is that possible ?
[13:28] <qweqq> auronandace: i built a debian chroot with debootstrap and mounted my /dev, sys, proc with --bind to the created chroot, i finished my job in the chroot, and instead of unmounting the devices first i just did sudo rm -R on the folder holding the chroot which wiped /dev, sys and proc seem to be ok
[13:28] <CoJaBo> it still runs, but I can't login to reboot it myself D=
[13:29] <qweqq> auronandace: https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/need-to-rebuild-dev-354950/ i found this thread which says if i am using udev (i am using ubuntu 10.10) everything should be ok, but i am not sure about it since this is a machine i do not have physical access to
[13:30] <experiMental_> glebihan: current autostart file: www.pasteall.org/24314 gives no autostart after login
[13:30] <qweqq> auronandace: i mean that i don't know how safe it is to try to reboot and if i am using udev

[13:31] <adante> i have a disk that can only dd at about 25 meg a second - it's a 1.5tb 7200rpm so i thought it should be much faster than that, anybody have tips for diagnosing?

[13:31] <izinucs> glebihan: back.. worked.. doing a full system update now.. AND getting a new kernel.. joy.. I should look for old kernels too to eliminate

[13:32] <glebihan> izinucs, nice :)
[13:33] <NetSplitz> Always keep your Ubuntu Live disk on you just in case
[13:33] <auronandace> qweqq: I'd reinstall and be more careful next time when you do anything as sudo
[13:33] <frostschutz> adante: bs=32M doesn't make much sense. use bs=1M at most. 64-128k is sufficient. only 512b is really bad. How fast is it if you of=/dev/null?
[13:33] <cfedde> adante: try dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dsa bs=32M count=100
[13:33] <NetSplitz> You need that Ubuntu Live disk to repair filesystems
[13:34] <experiMental_> glebihan: www.pasteall.org/24315
[13:34] <cfedde> adante: also frostschutz's advice.
[13:34] <frostschutz> adante: yes, try with of /dev/null and if /dev/zero resp. to find out which of the two disks is the one being slow
[13:34] <qweqq> NetSplitz, auronandace yeh, i guess i will reinstall, thanks for the help
[13:35] <cfedde> also try a smaller block size.  4k or 8k even
[13:35] <glebihan> experiMental_, you should replace the value of the "plik" variable by the absolute path to "1.txt"
[13:35] <buttons> what is the default command line utility for sending email with an attachment?
[13:36] <adante> frostschutz: wow... to dev null it is 129mb/s - it must be my e-sata (on /dev/sda ) which is bunk
[13:36] <adante> frostschutz: thanks!
[13:36] <CoJaBo> huh. mine runs faster with bs=32M, and that's with a really sucky sata card lol
[13:36] <experiMental_> glebihan: what line?

[13:37] <osse> qweqq, if you are going to reinstall, can't you then just try to reboot anyway?
[13:37] <frostschutz> CoJaBo: at that buffer size you're limited by dd implementation oddities rather than read/write overheads.
[13:38] <spacebug-> JillesCode: install openssh-server (if that is not already installed)
[13:38] <CoJaBo> my laptop gets 907 kb/sec at default size.. lol
[13:38] <CoJaBo> incredibly sucky hdd
[13:38] <alecat> how do you do a pipe in ubuntu on macbook ?
[13:38] <qweqq> osse: problem is that i did it over ssh, and someone else is working on the machine right now, i know the machine has a raid setup and if i reboot and can't get to boot back maybe all his info will be lost
[13:39] <scarleo> The side menu in Unity (Dash?) is being reset everytime I switch user. All my personally added programs get removed and it reverts to default. Can it be fixed somehow?
[13:39] <spacebug-> scarleo: that is a personalized "menu" so it is how it should work
[13:39] <BluesKaj> JillesCode, install openssh-client on the pcs youwant to ssh into the server
[13:39] <scarleo> Launcher might be the correct name
[13:39] <experiMental_> glebihan: i'm not shure i understand the meaning of "absolute value" - double quote instead of single quote, is it this?
[13:40] <Hoyt> hi , what's a recommended calendar program ?
[13:40] <scarleo> spacebug-: I think you get me wrong. If another user is using his account, MY launcher gets reset to default.
[13:40] <coiax> Hey guys, how do you determine which patches have been applied to an ubuntu package? I want to know how the source differs from the vanilla
[13:40] <glebihan> experiMental_, no I mean that instead of '1.txt' it should be '/path/to/1.txt' (I guess /home/user/Desktop/1.txt)
[13:40] <beef2011> random wifi disconnects, ubuntu 11.04 with rt3090 (conflicting drivers already blacklisted)
[13:41] <kingofswords> can anyone tell a channel where i can help with slipstreamed ver of windows?
[13:41] <qweqq> osse: i am atm downloading a fresh ubuntu on which i will erase /dev too and restart my pc, let's hope it works, got any better ideas ? :)
[13:41] <spacebug-> scarleo: oh I see. Then it is not how it should work ;/
[13:41] <experiMental_> glebihan: can this be "./1.txt" instead of "1.txt"?
[13:41] <glebihan> experiMental_, no it would be the same as what it is now
[13:42] <scarleo> spacebug-: Have you seen any bug reports on that matter?
[13:42] <osse> qweqq, smart! are you doing it in a VM or on an actual computer?
[13:42] <experiMental_> glebihan: is there any universal solution for different folders?
[13:42] <lotuspsychje> I tought ubuntu was secure...http://threatpost.com/en_us/blogs/ubuntu-fixes-webkit-flaws-other-issues-updates-082311
[13:42] <spacebug-> no. Haven't looked though. I'm the only user using graphic login
[13:43] <glebihan> experiMental_, is the "1.txt" file always in the same folder as the python script ?
[13:43] <experiMental_> glebihan: yes
[13:44] <Josh_> If I want to edit something in folder other than home folder , Do everytime I have to open terminal type sudo gedit?
[13:44] <glebihan> experiMental_, ok then use "plik=os.path.join(os.path.split(__file__)[0], '1.txt')"
[13:44] <beef2011> random wifi disconnects, ubuntu 11.04 with rt3090 (conflicting drivers already blacklisted)
[13:44] <benn> people
[13:44] <glebihan> experiMental_, you'll have to add "import os" at the beginning of the file
[13:44] <benn> i am in windows and i cannot enter any folder O_o
[13:44] <Jordan_U> !gksudo | Josh_
[13:44] <experiMental_> glebihan: ok, ill try :)
[13:44] <lotuspsychje> beef2011: did you try WEP security instead of WPA?
[13:44] <bazhang> benn, how is that related to ubuntu support
[13:45] <benn> need to be administrator...is there a software i can use to access any problems?
[13:45] <glebihan> experiMental_, let me know how it goes
[13:45] <qweqq> osse, yes, that's a better idea, will try it in a VM :)
[13:45] <adante> frostschutz: now going at 85, thanks for your help
[13:45] <Josh_> Thanks JonathanD
[13:45] <Josh_> err
[13:45] <Josh_> Jordan_U,
[13:45] <spacebug-> Josh_: there is plugins for nautilus. One of them lets you open folders and such as administrator. That way you dont have to use the terminal if you dont want to
[13:45] <beef2011> lotuspsychje: unfortunately I can't change it, the router/network isn't mine
[13:45] <Babboon> Anyone know why when I run the who command there are three of my username logged in?
[13:45] <benn> bazhang:the guys off #windows dont want me to hack
[13:45] <bazhang> benn, its offtopic here
[13:46] <benn> ok
[13:46] <lotuspsychje> beef2011: i had issues with rt drivers not being abled to access wpa
[13:46] <spacebug-> Babboon: some terminals open?=
[13:46] <benn> but maybe someone else want to answer my question
[13:46] <benn> wants*
[13:46] <Jordan_U> Josh_: And yes, pretty much any file outside /home/you will require root priveleges, though there are exceptions like /tmp/ so check the permissions before immediately using [gk]sudo.
[13:46] <Josh_> Thanks alot spacebug-
[13:46] <beef2011> lotuspsychje: oh no I can access WPA, I'm connected to the network it just suddenyl drops on me and won't connect again unless I reboot
[13:46] <bazhang> benn, no, not here. stop asking.
[13:46] <Babboon> yea spacebug
[13:46] <spacebug-> Josh_: yw
[13:46] <spacebug-> Babboon: then that is it
[13:47] <Babboon> there are three
[13:47] <benn> bazhang yes i can
[13:47] <osse> qweqq, actually, I was thinking a VM will give a "false positive" in the sense that the VM probably will try to make the OS boot
[13:47] <Josh_> I just installed lighttpd , server with sudo apt-get install
[13:47] <Babboon> why is that though?
[13:47] <benn> is there a way to access any folder in windows xp with a software?
[13:47] <silvercat> guys, i'm trying to install ubuntu 11.04 but my cd is corrupt. I've gotten as far as to network setting up, but it fails at core installation. is there a way to make it download the packages its unable to install from the internet instead of cdrom? like a net install?
[13:47] <Josh_> now I want to edit stuff , every time writing sudo gedit was painful :P
[13:47] <bazhang> benn, stop that now
[13:47] <spacebug-> Babboon: you should see something like you name and maybe tty8 and them some with name and pts/2
[13:47] <lotuspsychje> that was exact same error for me beef2011: wpa disconnected me after a while, had to reboot the router..
[13:47] <qweqq> osse, hm, you're right, got a laptop, will try on it
[13:48] <Babboon> yea pts/0 , 1, 2
[13:48] <spacebug-> yeah, because that user is on those terminals
[13:48] <beef2011> lotuspsychje: I don't mean rebooting the router I mean rebooting my laptop, it'll connect just fine but a about a minute or so later just dies
[13:48] <benn> dammit
[13:48] <Babboon> oh
[13:48] <Babboon> I got ya
[13:48] <experiMental_> glebihan: it is working. i love you!
[13:49] <jpmh> I am using the onboard video and an external monitor - when I do things like start firefox - they start in the external - how do I force it to start things  in one or the other myself
[13:49] <krux> ok
[13:49] <spacebug-> Babboon: you can also jsut type w to see more
[13:49] <lotuspsychje> beef2011: maybe try to pastebin syslog errors for network manager here in chat, someone might be able to fix
[13:49] <benn> help!!
[13:49] <Babboon> Nice! Thank you spacebug!
[13:49] <beef2011> lotuspsychje: how would one go about doing that?
[13:49] <glebihan> experiMental_, :)
[13:50] <spacebug-> Babboon: yw ;)
[13:50] <dsnyders> silvercat, I'm not sure, but I don't think there is.  These days I prefer using a USB flash drive instead of a CD.
[13:50] <lotuspsychje> beef2011: go to /var/log/syslog and copy paste the text to pastebin website, tne copy url into chat with your problem
[13:50] <JillesCode> I use fedora for my laptop, and ubuntu for my server ^^
[13:50] <experiMental_> glebihan: do you need some help?
[13:51] <Josh_> Ubuntu's file system is quite tricky for a new user :\
[13:51] <Josh_> when you install something with apt-get it gets so much distributed everywhere
[13:51] <Jordan_U> !fhs | Josh_
[13:51] <beef2011> lotuspsychje: ok thanks, will return after a reboot
[13:51] <Josh_> I just installed nautilus now , I don't know where I can start it from :P
[13:51] <silvercat> dsnyders, I'm trying to install server x64, what i have on my flash drive is the desktop version, not sure if its even x64 but it should work right?
[13:51] <glebihan> experiMental_, no why ?
[13:52] <experiMental_> glebihan: than thank you. have a nice day :)
[13:52] <oCean> Josh_: when installed from repositories, executables are installed in your PATH variable, for example /usr/bin/nautilus.
[13:52] <glebihan> experiMental_, you're welcome. have a nice day too
[13:53] <oCean> Josh_: since it's in your PATH, you don't need to provide the full path to the executable, just type nautilus
[13:53] <anadon> when I try to install grub2, it errors with "./grub-mkfont -o unicode.pf2 /usr/share/fonts/unifont/unifont.pcf.gz      ./grub-mkfont: error: can't set 16x16 font size."  How do I fix this?
[13:53] <Josh_> oCean, just type nautilus , where?
[13:53] <Josh_> in laucher or something?
[13:54] <oCean> Josh_: I would use a terminal
[13:54] <dsnyders> silvercat, Can't help.  I've only installed the server version once, via CD.  I didn't like it, so I wiped it and reinstalled.
[13:54] <Jordan_U> anadon: What version of Ubuntu are you using? Grub2 should be installed by default.
[13:54] <lotuspsychje> hi
[13:54] <spacebug-> Josh_: alt+F2 and type nautilus
[13:55] <Josh_> Thank you both of you , worked by both methods
[13:55] <Josh_> But I still don't know where it is installed :P
[13:55] <vrs> http://pastebin.com/xGr7Tu3e http://pastebin.com/GEbhqtwn I probably need a new disk, comments?
[13:55] <Josh_> Also, Nautilus just opened basic file manager of ubuntu :\
[13:55] <vrs> first is syslog, second smartctl
[13:56] <dsnyders> Josh_, you could use the whereis command if you really need to know.
[13:56] <Josh_> Ohh
[13:56] <Josh_> :D
[13:57] <Josh_> But why wasn't it just installed in my home folder?
[13:57] <Jordan_U> Josh_: Nautilus *is* Ubuntu's default file manager.
[13:58] <Josh_> Ohh , dumb me.
[13:58] <Kingsy> apt-get contains vlc 1.1.9 how can I install 1.1.12 ?
[13:59] <Kingsy> I have already installed 1.1.9 so I guess i need to upgrade
[13:59] <trions> Can anybody please tell what is the difference between synptiks touch pad and eGalaxTouch controller drivers?
[13:59] <dsnyders> Josh_, Apt never installs programs in the home folder.  That's not where they belong.
[13:59] <trions> I need to setup finger touch on my touch screen tablet. Digitizer already works. Its just the finger touch which I need to figure out
[13:59] <Josh_> dsnyders, How can we control where it get installed , like we can in windows.
[14:03] <Josh_> Or we don't need to?
[14:03] <trions> I followed this http://samiux.blogspot.com/2010/11/howto-ubuntu-1010-on-gigabyte-touchnote.html but still it does not recognize finger touch.
[14:03] <LarryBird> hows everyone today
[14:03] <ultrixx> is there a speech recognition software for ubuntu? like dragon for windows
[14:03] <Jordan_U> Josh_: You can't. You also generally don't ever want to.
[14:03] <Kingsy> this is the thing with ubuntu, I love it but say I wanted to upgrade a program, there seems to be no standard way of doing it? how do I know if I can do it through the repos at all?
[14:03] <mattt__> What's with all the Ubuntu forum results that show up on google that require one to login when trying to access them?
[14:03] <Moshanator> kingsy, is tjere a specific reason you want .12?
[14:03] <Josh_> Jordan_U, Ok , thanks alot
[14:03] <Josh_> Just one more question
[14:03] <Josh_> is there any task manager?
[14:03] <Jordan_U> Josh_: You're welcome.
[14:03] <Kingsy> Moshanator: 1.1.9 has a pulseaudio bug that is screwing with my playback
[14:03] <Kingsy> 1.1.12 doesnt
[14:03] <Sulfate> Hi
[14:05] <Jordan_U> Josh_: Yes, "System monitor".
[14:12] <Josh_> I am currently on <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> Josh_: use network manager
[14:12] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: no, how would I know if there is one?
[14:12] <Josh_> I want to change it to <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | Kingsy
[14:12] <supercom32> ActionParsnip: That will not work. I can't see the drive on my "fdisk -l" list.
[14:12] <damno> can I add a username as member of two different groups?
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> damno: yes, you are already a member of many groups
[14:12] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: https://launchpad.net/~bdrung/+archive/ppa/+build/2638424 <-- looks like vlc 1.1.12 is in there
[14:12] <damno> ActionParsnip: ok. thanks.
[14:12] <beef2011> lotuspsychje: here http://paste.ubuntu.com/675271/
[14:12] <supercom32> ActionParsnip: Consider the drive "ejected" via Ubuntu or a USB device error.

[14:12] <user_46> Can anyone tell me where I can see my Bootlog. Sometimes Ubuntu just stop booting for some reason
[14:12] <DeadmanIncJS> well that was just crazy
[14:12] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: ok, so what exactly happens if I add that PPA to my system? all I want to do is install vlc 1.1.12 thats it, I don't want anything else...
[14:12] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: then yuo will install vlc from the PPA and if you get any issues, we cannot support your vlc
[14:12] <user_46> Can anyone tell me where I can see my Bootlog. Sometimes Ubuntu just stop booting for some reason.
[14:13] <beef2011> user_46:  maybe in /var/log/???
[14:13] <beef2011> user_46: minus the ?'s of course
[14:13] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: but if I install vlc from that PPA, and it does go faulty because its been install through a PPA I can remove it using apt-get ?
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: also, if the PPA gets updated, you will pull down the new version
[14:14] <supercom32> cat /proc/scsi/scsi
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: yes it can be easily removed and the ppa can be easily removed too
[14:14] <Josh_> If I want to kill some process , can I?
[14:14] <qweqq> user_46: you can view your logs in a more organised way in System -> Administration -> Log File Viewer
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> Josh_: yes
[14:14] <Josh_> ActionParsnip, how?
[14:14] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: cant I just add the PPA to sources.list install vlc then remove the PPA? that way I wont be updated with the PPA ?
[14:14] <user_46> I'm in var/log/Bootlog-----inside ((Nothing has been logged yet.)
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> Josh_: either something like:  killall programname
[14:15] <Josh_> kill"all"
[14:15] <Josh_> all seems dangerous there :P
[14:15] <beef2011> user_46: might this help? http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-view-boot-log/
[14:15] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: no need to use sources.list, just use: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:name
[14:16] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: and then audo remove-apt-repository ?
[14:16] <Kingsy> sudo**
[14:16] <beef2011> lotuspsychje: out of that log it looks almost like some other driver is trying to control my card that I haven't blacklisted
[14:16] <bazhang> Kingsy, ppa-purge
[14:16] <user_46> beef2011: I just accessed the bootlog. It's empty
[14:16] <bazhang> !info ppa-purge | Kingsy
[14:18] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: ok I have added the ppa.. apt-get install vlc stills says I have the most up to date version.. do I need to update apt-get ?
[14:18] <beef2011> user_46: then unfortunately I can be of no more use, just trying to help a little but knowledge of the beast as it were is not that big :-)
[14:18] <beef2011> user_46: that should say my knowledge of the beast, freakin' keyboard
[14:18] <user_46> beef2011: Thanks anyway
[14:18] <bazhang> Kingsy, yes
[14:18] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: how did you add it?
[14:19] <Galvatron> I have a likely Compiz related problem with Ubuntu 11.04 (classic GNOME) and both Compiz 0.8.6 and as far as I remember also with 0.9.4: applets on the right side of the upper panel (notofication area, weather and clock) frequently load and work in the background, but don't show up on the panel, either partially or entirely and I must restart them or the panel itself to make them visible. If it matters, I have 7300GT + latest proprietary b
[14:19] <Galvatron> from nVidia's website. Compiz is added to autostart by being added to required session components in Gconf Editor.
[14:20] <rrykua> Hi. How do I find out process id by window in Ubuntu?
[14:20] <bpoole> I want to create a patch for a bug. I read (ok skimmed) the packagingbuild and see how to generate a patch (dch/debuild/debdiff) but I had one question. My change is essentially undoing a couple of lines of an existing patch. Is editing the src files and letting debdiff create a new patch file the correct solution or is there a way to fix the errorneous patch file?
[14:20] <jrib> rrykua: xprop or xwininfo
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: was it:  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bdrung/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install vlc
[14:20] <theeta> ps aux | less
[14:21] <bpoole> s/packagingbuild/packagingguide/
[14:21] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: exactly
[14:21] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: but now ppa-purge is saying that if I remove that PPA vlc will be dowgraded..
[14:21] <Kingsy> downgraded..
[14:21] <Kingsy> I guess I should just keep the ppa then
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> Josh_: killall is the command, you can also use:  ps -ef | grep name    use the leftmost value as the PID and run:  kill PID
[14:21] <bazhang> Kingsy, then dont use it
[14:21] <stu1> nonono kingsy
[14:22] <stu1> You don't want PPA
[14:22] <rrykua> jrib: Thank. I'll try that now. Also I remember in some variant of Linux there was a nice tool, when mouse cursor turned into a cross with skull and that allowed to kill any process by clicking on its window. Is there something like that for Ubuntu?
[14:22] <bazhang> stu1, yes he does
[14:22] <Kingsy> stu1: I had no choice
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: well it assumes you installed vlc, did you get the 1.1.12 installed ok?
[14:22] <jrib> bpoole: try #ubuntu-motu but I'd suggest just creating a patch that modifies the existing patch
[14:22] <Kingsy> bazhang: what do you mean don't use it? isnt it automatic ?
[14:22] <jrib> rrykua: xkill
[14:22] <Galvatron> Kingsy: It's exactly how ppa-purge works - roll back the changes made by a PPA.
[14:22] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: yeah thats install ok
[14:22] <Kingsy> that**
[14:22] <bazhang> Kingsy, that removes the ppa and the version, you said "what if?"
[14:23] <rrykua> jrib: thanks a lot
[14:23] <user___> Hello, could someone tell me the meaning of phrase "Rep Sales" and what is "Rep", in other words? About what it is (context - maybe form or report)
[14:23] <bazhang> Kingsy, its not sudo remove-apt-repository
[14:23] <bazhang> !ot | user___
[14:23] <bazhang> user___, try ##english
[14:24] <qweqq> Kingsy: to disable updating from the PPA: sudo software-properties-gtk, then go to the Other sofware tab, and uncheck the lines containing the ppa to vlc
[14:24] <Josh_> IRC is the best thing ever made in world :P
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> Josh_: i can think of better ;)
[14:24] <rrykua> And finally one more question. Sometimes my Ubuntu hangs up because some process it taking all resources (e.g. linking Google Chrome browser). In Windows I am able to start Task Manager at all times since it has highest priority, while on Ubuntu System Monitor is running with the same priority and thus takes forever start. Is there some way to make it always start with higher priority?
[14:24] <Josh_> ActionParsnip, lol
[14:24] <Josh_> like?
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> Josh_: sex
[14:24] <Josh_> LOL
[14:25] <Josh_> I need to change my statement now.
[14:25] <IdleOne> :/
[14:25] <irrumator_> curious why Lucida grand doesn't look the same or as nice in Ubuntu as on Macs? Monaco font though looks great.
[14:25] <Josh_> For Knowledge , IRC is the best thing  ever made in world :P
[14:25] <Josh_> :P
[14:25] <IdleOne> Josh_: get on topic please if you want to chat join #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> rrykua: you could edit the menu item to run:  nice -15 command    giving it a higher cpu time
[14:26] <Kingsy> qweqq: thanks.. great stuff
[14:26] <vahid> HI
[14:26] <beef2011> wifi randomly disconnecting in 11.04 wth rt3090 card (blacklisted drivers) here is the sys log http://paste.ubuntu.com/675271/
[14:26] <vahid> hi
[14:26] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: bazhang: thanks for your help :)
[14:26] <theadmin> !hi | vahid
[14:26] <vahid> i have problem in linux
[14:27] <vahid> pls help me
[14:27] <theadmin> vahid: You should just state your problem
[14:27] <vahid>   ok
[14:27] <bazhang> vahid, what version of ubuntu, what is the issue
[14:27] <Galvatron> irrumator_: Have you adjusted antialiasing settings?
[14:27] <vahid> 11
[14:27] <theadmin> vahid: 11.04 or 11.10?
[14:27] <vahid> 11.10
[14:27] <rrykua> ActionParsnip: Thanks. I have also shortcut key (Ctrl+Esc) mapped to it. Can I make Ubuntu treat shortcut key handling with highest priority? Essentially all I want is that I can always hit the hotkey and kill any process despite that some other process may be taking all resources.
[14:27] <theadmin> !ubuntu+1 | vahid
[14:27] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 vahid
[14:28] <irrumator_> Galvatron: not that I know of, no. Is this not the default? How can I set it to turn out "correctly"?
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> rrykua: whatever command the combination uses, make sure it uses the nice command
[14:28] <Josh__> IdleOne, sorry, It was just 1 sentence.
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: you got it installed ok?
[14:28] <vahid> i install squid in my server and use this server as a cacheserver and config wccp
[14:29] <rrykua> ActionParsnip: Okay. Thanks. I will test it... hopefully it will work. I am just worried that shortcut key handling may not get through, i.e. it won't even get to run "nice" command :)
[14:29] <bazhang> vahid, #ubuntu+1 for 11.10
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> vahid: oneiric isn't supported here
[14:29] <Galvatron> irrumator_: In my case Lucida Grande was looking nice with smoothing method set to subpixel and hinting to slight.
[14:29] <dageriv> hey
[14:30] <vahid> i install squid in my server and use this server as a cacheserver and config wccp
[14:30] <irrumator_> yeah, that's what I've got right now Galvatron. Maybe the size is too small? I had the same issue with Monaco before. I resized it to be slightly larger, and it's suddenly gorgeous.
[14:30] <bazhang> vahid, hi
[14:31] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: yeah installed great :)
[14:31] <vahid> hi
[14:32] <bazhang> vahid, this is not the channel for 11.10
[14:32] <beef2011> wifi randomly disconnecting in 11.04 wth rt3090 card (blacklisted drivers) here is the sys log http://paste.ubuntu.com/675271/
[14:32] <vahid> what chanel?
[14:32] <bazhang> vahid, /join #ubuntu+1
[14:32] <auronandace> vahid: to get help with 11.10 you'll need to /join #ubuntu+1
[14:32] <Galvatron> irrumator_: On my 17" 1024x768 display it was fine with 10 points.
[14:32] <irrumator_> well i'm on all 9s, so maybe one higher should do the trick. i'm actually at a much higher res than you as well ;0
[14:33] <Galvatron> irrumator_: Try 10pt + bold window titles.
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: easy peasy ;)
[14:33] <makara> beef2011, open a terminal, type dmesg | pastebinit<enter>
[14:33] <Kingsy> hehe
[14:34] <Galvatron> irrumator_: I initially also had all 9pt, but quicly decided it's too small.
[14:34] <irrumator_> Galvatron: yep, windows are already bold. 10 makes everything just look fat :( I'm going back to my normal Droid Sans, an amazing font that doesn't hog space and looks beautiful anyways
[14:34] <beef2011> makara: what will that do?
[14:34] <Galvatron> irrumator_: Try playing with the hinting settings, so maybe you'll find optimal ones.
[14:34] <makara> oh you're not getting direct probe error
[14:34] <irrumator_> ok, thanks Galvatron
[14:35] <makara> sorry, I see you sent pastebin
[14:36] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[14:36] <Josh_> OMG
[14:36] <Josh_> !netsplit
[14:36] <oCean> Josh_: calm down please
[14:36] <theadmin> Oh, I didn't even notice :D
[14:39] <Josh__> Damn this

[14:40] <suigeneris> hi
[14:41] <Guest47199> ciao
[14:41] <beef2011> wifi randomly disconnecting in 11.04 wth rt3090 card (blacklisted drivers) here is the sys log http://paste.ubuntu.com/675271/
[14:41] <suigeneris> I have just re-installed, and I get a grub rescue>. help me please
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: boot to liveCD and reinstate grub
[14:42] <vahid2> hi
[14:42] <makara> beef2011, what have you tried? you done any research? is this first time you're seeing this? did you change something?
[14:43] <vahid2> hi
[14:43] <vahid2> i have a problem
[14:43] <dnivra> !ask | vahid2
[14:43] <makara> beef2011, can you connect without wicd?
[14:43] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip: would http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=b668443ef7ce65e686935c8d00a6ffa3&p=8324482&postcount=5 help me?
[14:43] <theadmin> vahid2: As stated before, 11.10 is NOT SUPPORTED IN THIS CHANNEL (chat room), please type: /join #ubuntu+1

[14:43] <stu1> I have a question. I deleted the partition that had grub on it. How do I get it back?
[14:44] <theadmin> stu1: Well, that's a toughie... Testdisk might help here
[14:44] <delinquentme_> SO ive got a bit of an issue while im typing my thumb seems to graze the touchpad .. and my cursor will jump across the screen .. this wasnt an issue in my previous install of ubuntu ... anyone happen to have any suggestions as to how to get this to be less sensitive or to filter out random taps?
[14:44] <beef2011> makara: I've tried blacklisting a couple more suggested drivers but it doesn't help, this is indeed the first time I'm seeing this and I haven't changed anything at all apart from adding dkms + a package for the card and blacklisting drivers
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: http://ubuntuguide.net/how-to-restore-grub-2-after-reinstalling-windows-xpvistawin7   is what I always advise
[14:44] <aleph> Hi. How much megabytes exactly (+- 50MB) does 11.04 Desktop i386 standard installation takes after fresh install?
[14:45] <aleph> I, know that 8.04 takes 2.10 GB
[14:45] <beef2011> makara: I've read about wicd but how will it help?
[14:45] <theadmin> aleph: Around 4 gigabytes from what I'm aware
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> aleph: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[14:45] <makara> delinquentme_ usually you can press super and F9 to toggle the mouse
[14:45] <AxonetBE1> how can I access a server when I lost my public key?
[14:45] <aleph> theadmin, ActionParsnip: this is not "exactly""
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> aleph: 4 or 5Gb is minimal, you'll struggle with updates with any less.
[14:46] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip: I typed sudo grub and I got grub: command not found
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris: in the liveCD?
[14:46] <delinquentme_> makara, is super going to be windows button .. or alt or funtion?
[14:46] <makara> delinquentme_ not super, FN + F9
[14:46] <aleph> ActionParsnip: i'm debian user for 10 years, and I just want exact information. what df -h tells, after first boot.
[14:46] <theadmin> aleph: If you really need to worry about disk space, you probably should consider Arch, Gentoo, SliTaz or other minimalistic distros...
[14:46] <makara> delinquentme_ you want to access the special laptop functions. they're drawn small on the keys
[14:46] <delinquentme_> makara, good idea! bu that key combo doesnt work ... lemme google
[14:46] <theadmin> aleph: Want me to do a check on this? I can install a Ubuntu in a VM and tell you the output
[14:46] <aleph> theadmin: yes, sure. I just want to determine this on my own. :)
[14:46] <compdoc`> aleph, I have a fresh install sitting here - its using 2.8 Gigs
[14:47] <aleph> compdoc`: THANKS!
[14:47] <delinquentme_> ahh!
[14:47] <delinquentme_> wowwww
[14:47] <aleph> theadmin: no, no need. I can start qemu here too :D
[14:47]  * delinquentme_ feels like a nub
[14:47] <delinquentme_> makara, thanks a buncha
[14:47] <makara> delinquentme_ sweet
[14:47] <aleph> theadmin: compdoc` says it is 2.8 GB :)
[14:47] <aleph> nice
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> aleph: lubuntu is a bit less ;)
[14:48] <compdoc`> I installed updates and a couple of programs so far
[14:48] <theadmin> aleph: Okay, that's great
[14:48] <aleph> theadmin: is this i386 or amd64 ?
[14:48]  * theadmin lol'd at "your pc, your way" on ubuntu.com xD
[14:48] <theadmin> aleph: Um, I'm running an AMD machine right here if that matters, but with a i386 OS -- so that's the only thing I can check. Can't install a 64-bit guest with a 32-bit host
[14:49] <makara> beef2011, make you remember what you blacklisted. why were you blacklisting stuff?
[14:49] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip: find /boot/grub/stage1 gives me Error 15: Fıle not found
[14:49] <beef2011> makara: I was blacklisting stuff because there are conflicting drivers for my wireless card under ubuntu
[14:49] <aleph> ActionParsnip: I have debian testing on 1gb pendrive and my gf have also debian stable on 4gb pendrive.
[14:49] <aleph> however he wants Ubuntu :)
[14:49] <aleph> she
[14:50] <makara> beef2011, so it didn't work, then you blacklisted, now it works but intermittently
[14:50] <boy_rm_bsx> hi everyone
[14:50] <Galvatron> aleph: It all depend on whether you have a separate /home partition or not. Around 3GB for the system + 0,5-1GB or more for /home
[14:50] <theadmin> aleph: Wow... Nice job there :D
[14:51] <makara> beef2011, what's the signal strength list? what's the refresh period on your WLAN set to?
[14:51] <beef2011> makara: this is what I blacklisted and yes it wasn't working before blacklist and now it is but it conks out after a minute or so rt2800pci rt2800lib rt2x00usb rt2x00pci rt2x00lib rt2860sta
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> aleph: could try xpud ;)
[14:52] <Galvatron> aleph: Size  can be reduced significantly by getting rid of old kernels, cached packages, help files, Samba, Mono, nvidia-current etc.
[14:52] <beef2011> makara: signal strength when connected is full and I've no idea what the refresh rate is
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> aleph: or install minimal and install from the ground up the things you want, keeps things tidy
[14:52] <aleph> Galvatron: I have managed to use debian on 700MB + 300MB fat. on 1gb pendrive :D. I really do not want TRICKS.
[14:53] <aleph> Galvatron: ActionParsnip: I know all tricks, and hacks. belife me. I just wanted simpler approach for my girlfriend :D
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> aleph: lxde + lxdm + wicd + chromium is my base OS :)
[14:53] <Phong_> hi guys, is it safe to pay online bills with ubuntu ?
[14:53] <theadmin> aleph: I installed Arch with a full XFCE desktop, Opera, Pidgin and Thunderbird on a 2GB-space netbook xD
[14:53] <Phong_> i dont trust windows
[14:53] <theadmin> Phong_: It is safe, but you're paranoid
[14:53] <phillyj> Phong_: yea
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> Phong_: sure, the browsers obey defacto standards so is just as safe as windows browsers
[14:54] <Galvatron> aleph: No tricks here, just the basics not to wast ~1GB
[14:54] <phillyj> Phong_: I use it for ebay, etc
[14:54] <aleph> theadmin: Arch is greate. I also tested Mint few days ago, really userfridnely. However considering this is #ubuntu, I will not discuss this :D
[14:54] <Phong_> ok
[14:54] <|Slacker|> I even pay  my bills over my cell phone
[14:54] <makara> beef2011, didn't happen after a kernel update perhaps? i wouldn't go wicd yet. its will help if there's a bug in network-manager (I think)
[14:54] <Phong_> theadmin, why do u said i am?
[14:54] <Phong_> philly, how is philly?
[14:54] <theadmin> Phong_: Well this was a joke
[14:54] <Phong_> phillyj, i live in philly too
[14:54] <Phong_> ok theadmin
[14:54] <phillyj> nice
[14:54] <aleph> Galvatron: I generally disable automatic installation of Recomands and Suggest, and use localepurge to remove all localizations.
[14:54] <Phong_> phillyj, aren't you suppose to work?
[14:55] <beef2011> makara: no I haven't changed a thing since my wubi install, it can't update the kernel because of the wireless conking out
[14:55] <phillyj> Phong_: student and looking for work
[14:55] <Phong_> phillyj, oh
[14:55] <beef2011> makara: when I say I haven't changed anything i mean nothing I haven't said
[14:55] <Phong_> i'm at work and looking for new job
[14:55] <oCean> Phong_: chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic, not here
[14:55] <Phong_> ok sorry
[14:55] <Phong_> brb
[14:55] <artisboy95> hey
[14:55] <artisboy95> i am new to irc
[14:56] <Galvatron> !question | artisboy95
[14:56] <BedMan> .
[14:56] <phillyj> artisboy95: whats the question?
[14:56] <artisboy95> okey thanks
[14:57] <makara> beef2011, you'd probably be best off going somewhere with an ethernet connection and updating everything. then see if that doesn't solve your problem
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> updates help a LOT
[14:57] <JillesCode> guys I want to make a print server
[14:57] <beef2011> makara: hmm ok
[14:57] <artisboy95> i have no question i have followed a tutorial and came here
[14:57] <JillesCode> but i can :(
[14:57] <JillesCode> can't
[14:57] <JillesCode> what is the default username and password for CUPS?
[14:57] <beef2011> makara: might as well just try Oneiric when it comes out if I'm gonna do that
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> JillesCode: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/PrinterSharing
[14:57] <oCean> artisboy95: ok, that's fine. This is the support channel. If you wish to chat, then /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[14:58] <makara> beef2011, i'm still trying to get my wifi working even after updates, 11.04 and Oneric. Mine is AR9271
[14:58] <artisboy95> ok
[14:58] <rpj8> what does this do: sudo chmod 700 !$
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> makara: oneiric isn't supported here
[14:58] <pcp> hi
[14:58] <bubu\a> anyone shed any light on this...trying to scp using > sudo scp -i pem.key user@ip:/home/user/file /home/user/file, debugging shows /home/user/file no such file or directory - i know its there!!!!
[14:59] <Galvatron> makara: Oneiric should be "ubuntu+1"
[14:59] <makara> beef2011, wifi is not linux's strength. But if all else fails you can try linuxwireless.org, the #linux-wireless channel, and really get into things with iw and wap-supplicant
[14:59] <rpj8> bubu\a: does /home/user/file exist on the remote
[15:00] <bubu\a> rpj8, no
[15:00] <bubu\a> home/user/ exists
[15:00] <bubu\a> but its not trying to overwrite a file..
[15:00] <bubu\a> its pointing to the local file location that does not exist...
[15:01] <suigeneris> hi
[15:01] <rpj8> bubu\a: what is its? How are you debugging?
[15:01] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip: I was disconnected
[15:01] <bubu\a> -v argument on scp command
[15:01] <suigeneris> how do I reinstall GRUB?
[15:02] <tomodachi> suigeneris: there is a command named grub-install
[15:02] <bubu\a> the same syntax works fine from another box so i know its not that
[15:02] <bubu\a> maybe a permissions thing on the local file? but i would think it would tell me no permissions etc rather than cant find it?
[15:02] <bubu\a> alsot tried as root and still no luck
[15:02] <rpj8> bubu\a: can you copy over a different local file?
[15:03] <suigeneris> tomodachi: I try sudo grub-install /dev/sdb1 and I get "Could not find device for /boot"
[15:04] <glebihan> suigeneris, you should not grub install grub on a partition but on a disk, ie "sudo grub-install /dev/sdb"
[15:04] <bubu\a> no rpj8
[15:05] <bubu\a> cant scp any file over....
[15:05] <rpj8> bubu\a: what command are you running to try a different file
[15:05] <suigeneris> glebihan: I get the same message
[15:06] <suigeneris> brb wıth live cd
[15:07] <bubu\a> rpj8, sudo scp  -i /home/ubuntu/.ssh/drop.pem user@IP:/home/ubuntu/filename /home/ubuntu/filename
[15:07] <suigeneris> hi, I am back
[15:07] <bubu\a> or
[15:07] <bubu\a> rpj8, sudo scp  -i /home/ubuntu/.ssh/drop.pem user@IP:/home/ubuntu/anyfilename /home/ubuntu/filename
[15:07] <bubu\a> and it always says it cant see it....
[15:08] <suigeneris> glebihan: sudo grub-install /dev/sdb Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[15:08] <rpj8> bubu\a: try it without sudo.
[15:08] <glebihan> suigeneris, are you on a live cd now ?
[15:08] <suigeneris> glebihan: yes
[15:08] <glebihan> suigeneris, then in order to reinstall grub you'll have to chroot into your installed system
[15:08] <glebihan> !chroot | suigeneris
[15:09] <suigeneris> glebihan: chroot, then grub-install?
[15:10] <glebihan> suigeneris, yes
[15:10] <bubu\a> rpj8, still no go...
[15:10] <hcaine> I trying to install a new LMCE RC1 (8.10). I have read at morning that we dont need to do a apt-get distupgrade... should or should not
[15:10] <daxu> how i can install JAVA SDK in UBUNTU 11.04.
[15:11] <bubu\a> authentication etc everything ok
[15:11] <rpj8> bubu\a: oh. you have the arguments wrong
[15:12] <rpj8> bubu\a: it's  -i authfile from to
[15:12] <oCean> daxu: hey back? You have to enable 'partner repositories' to be able to install SUN's jdk:  then, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[15:12] <bubu\a> yeh thats what im doing rpj8
[15:13] <bubu\a> user@ip:/home/ubuntu/file /home/ubuntu/file
[15:13] <suigeneris> glebihan: there is  no grub-install or apt-get inside chroot :(
[15:13] <bubu\a>                            ^^^^^ local file
[15:13] <bubu\a> the first file even*
[15:13] <bubu\a> lol
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> oCean: http://www.multimediaboom.com/how-to-install-java-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-ppa/
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> oCean: easier, and updates more frequently :)
[15:15] <oCean> ActionParsnip: I'll remember that
[15:15] <rpj8> bubu\a: not sure. I can't replicate your situation. sorry.
[15:15] <bubu\a> rpj8, i used the same syntax (same script) on another box of mine and it worked without a problem
[15:15] <bubu\a> must be a permissions thing...?
[15:15] <bubu\a> tried putting the local file to 777 though and still nothing
[15:16] <rpj8> bubu\a: try copying somethign from your home directory locally to user@server:/home/user/ where user is the same user
[15:16] <rpj8> bubu\a: break it down to the simplest usecase
[15:17] <suigeneris> glebihan: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)
[15:17] <glebihan> suigeneris, did you follow the guide I linked you to to perform your chroot ?
[15:18] <suigeneris> glebihan: sorry I thought I knew so I didnot
[15:18] <glebihan> suigeneris, then exit your chroot and start over, following the instructions in that guide
[15:18] <suigeneris> okay
[15:20] <mattt__> anyone know how to configure the capture and playback volumes for a bluetooth headset?
[15:20] <ActionParsnip> oCean: in most search engines:  natty java    find is well
[15:20] <suigeneris> glebihan: Unable to locate package dchroot
[15:21] <bubu\a> rpj8, what ports does scp use??
[15:21] <rpj8> bubu\a: your ssh ports
[15:21] <glebihan> suigeneris, you shouldn't need to install those as you're on the live cd
[15:21] <bubu\a> hmm
[15:21] <bubu\a> damn thought so but thoguht could be that
[15:21] <foo38> hi
[15:21] <Krishnandu> Hi, I've few images. I want to batch compress them, without compromising resolution, means I don't want to resize them. Each of the pic is of 5MB, so I want each of them in KB's. How can I do that??
[15:22] <thomas5> Enter text here...Hi is there anyone out ther?
[15:22] <foo38> krishnan: use convert with only quality settings
[15:23] <Krishnandu> foo38, Sorry didn't got you. Which app to use?? GIMP??
[15:23] <foo38> non, you mentioned batch conversion so I referred to a command line tool, convert
[15:24] <modonovan> anyone know what a perfectly working optiarc drive would stop being recognised by bios all of a sudden?
[15:24] <foo38> you can also use gimp, but I don't know about batch processing with gimp
[15:24] <modonovan> it's not been moved in any way
[15:24] <modonovan> and has been functioning perfectly for a couple of years no
[15:24] <modonovan> now even
[15:24] <Krishnandu> foo38, Ya, CLI tool would be fine :) Thanks lemme check the docs and get it :)
[15:24] <modonovan> weirder still
[15:25] <rpj8> bubu\a: did you try with a clean ssh (without the -i or anythign extra) on the same machine
[15:25] <foo38> modo: disks die, that's life
[15:25] <modonovan> the drive is working fine within ubuntu (natty)
[15:25] <THJC> saying hello
[15:25] <daxu> Enter a path to the Java 2 SDK?how can i do?

[15:26] <moriramar> Excuse me. I need to change root password of my x86_64 system from a x86 LiveCD. While I am told that chroot does not work, shall I use "passwd -r /mnt/root/etc/shadow root"?
[15:26] <Sekkuar> hi, which is the right room for me to get some help?
