[12:38] <Beumac> usr13, It was wanting me to boot to ms dos or something weird so I just used the windows installer haha
[12:39] <mathews_> hungryhubby, see this http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Managing_Ubuntu_Linux_Users_and_Groups
[12:39] <usr13> Beumac: Oh, I see.
[12:40] <marekw2143> usr13: what would it give to me?
[12:40] <usr13> Beumac: Well, there is supposed to be a way to go into wubi and tell it to just install the real deal.  But I don't know anything about it.  You can look around and see.
[12:41] <hungryhubby> i want to connect to other users like you over internet i mean not on local lan
[12:41] <Beumac> okay thanks usr13

[12:42] <marekw2143> usr13: I have build-essential installe
[12:42] <usr13> marekw2143: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/build-essential
[12:42] <marekw2143> usr13: *installed
[12:43] <marekw2143> generally I've installed package linux-source-2.6.38, and now compiling it
[12:44] <marekw2143> and  my question is, is whether configuration of kernel downloaded with package linux-source-2.6.38 the same as configuration of kernel that is used by default by ubuntu 11.04?
[12:45] <brett_> if i bought a new computer, what is the best way to clone the contents of the old hard drive? I don't want to have all of the programs I previously installed as well as all of my settings without doing any installs. I am picturing using a boot disk probably and installing both hard drives. Any thoughts?

[12:46] <mithran> hi all,  want to setup a virtual machine environment on ubuntu server, but have no idea how to start, can someone point me in the right direction?>
[12:46] <mithran> what is zen?
[12:46] <zcat[1]> !zen
[12:47] <zcat[1]> apparently nothing ;)
[12:47] <frostschutz> brett_: you don't want?
[12:47] <administrator> hello
[12:47] <mithran> zcat[1], can you please tell me how to start?
[12:47] <frostschutz> brett_: if both computers are running independently and have network, you can dd over ssh
[12:47] <qdb> baijupattera , ok , language support automatically opens that window, if there is internet
[12:48] <Guest7428> let's go
[12:48] <zcat[1]> mithran:  perhaps you mean xen?
[12:48] <zcat[1]> !xen
[12:48] <usr13> marekw2143: Where did you download linux-source-2.6.38 from?
[12:48] <zcat[1]> personally I'm a big fan of virtualbox-ose
[12:49] <marekw2143> usr13: I did it by: sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.38
[12:49] <zcat[1]> I know I should learn other technologies though
[12:49] <Mahmood> Hey Everyone :) How Is It Going?
[12:50] <usr13> marekw2143: Do you have linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic  installed?

[12:51] <usr13> marekw2143: apt-cache search 2.6.38
[12:51] <mithran> zcat[1], ya i like that too..but ive been meaning to try this hypervisor and virtual machine environments for a while(to see the alternatives to ESX)
[12:52] <marekw2143> usr13: results for apt-cache search 2.6.38-8: http://pastebin.com/92QjmM5g
[12:52] <usr13> marekw2143: See if there is a difference.
[12:52] <marekw2143> usr13: ok
[12:53] <usr13> marekw2143: So if you have linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic installed, and build-essential  you should be good to go.
[12:54] <marekw2143> usr13: it's difference between two searches: http://pastebin.com/mQ8yjkJW

[12:55] <NyberMi1> my mysql installation is really screwed at the moment
[12:56] <sabgenton> does ubuntu have some sort of  java installed by default?

[13:13] <sudokill> surrentino delete the windows partitions
[13:13] <Avasz> surrentino, why dont you format the partition?
[13:13] <usr13> at least, not where it thinks it is.
[13:13] <surrentino> cause i don't know how to do it.. windows vista block me everytime i tried
[13:14] <Avasz> surrentino, were you trying to format from vista?
[13:14] <llutz_> surrentino: from ubuntu
[13:14] <sudokill> do it from linux, or livecd
[13:14] <marekw2143> usr13: yes, so it's a bug in ubuntu package?
[13:14] <usr13> marekw2143: I dono
[13:15] <surrentino> someone can tell me how to remove correctly windows vista partition?
[13:15] <Avasz> surrentino, best method for you is install gparted.
[13:15] <Avasz> find out the partiion in which vista has been installed
[13:15] <sudokill> surrentino, go into the livecd, go to gparted and choose the windows partitions and choose delete then click aply
[13:15] <Avasz> and format it.
[13:16] <usr13> surrentino: Why do you want to remove it?  What is  your end goal?
[13:16] <liminal> how do you activate Application Panel Indicators?
[13:17] <liminal> i have downloaded one for the battery
[13:17] <liminal> how do I activate it#:?

[13:19] <surrentino> usr13 may i pm u? i'm a newbie and i need a little bit more help
[13:20] <usr13> marekw2143: You could just do another symlink to where it thinks it is.

[14:01] <balagexp> resarted same error

[14:02] <aeon-ltd> Amish: should, what browser are you using?
[14:02] <Amish> aeon-ltd preinstalled Firefox 4 doesnt work, Chrome doesnt either
[14:02] <fxm> hello
[14:03] <Amish> aeon-ltd does the Lucida font have to be a specific type?
[14:03] <Avasz> ActionParsnip, and.. there is one problem. suppose i was connected to essid "a" and later disconnected and tried to connect to essid "b". it shows, a: putting interfaces up, a: obtaining i address. but afte it connects, it shows b: connected at xx.xx.xx
[14:03] <aeon-ltd> Amish: maybe though, are you overriding any font settings at all?
[14:04] <szal> Amish: looks like a Lucida font in your screenshot; what's it supposed to look like?  (don't have a FB account)
[14:04] <MarconM> bonjour
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> Avasz: uncheck the autoconnect box
[14:04] <MarconM> çava
[14:04] <balagexp> ActionParsnip: same error
[14:04] <Avasz> ActionParsnip, they are unchecked. it doesnt connect to essid "a" but only shows a: obtaining ip address.
[14:04] <Amish> aeon-ltd firefox is set to allow sites to choose
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> balagexp: are there any bugs for this?
[14:04] <Avasz> thought it finally connects to b.
[14:04] <Amish> aeon-ltd doesnt work in Chrome either so...
[14:04] <Avasz> i get confused lot of times due to this
[14:05] <lambda_x> any idea why 11.04 after upgrade does not play videos in vlc / totem? (screen is black), I have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed (Ive tried to reinstall it and clean vlc configuration, none of it help)
[14:05] <balagexp> ööö no? :D
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> lambda_x: try setting a different video output method
[14:05] <aeon-ltd> Amish: how about your desktop settings? gnome-appearence-manager (or whatever its called now)
[14:05] <szal> Amish: did you restart the browser after installing MS fonts? -- and counter-check: can you select e.g. Arial as font in LibreOffice?
[14:05] <BluesKaj> lambda_x, try VLC player
[14:06] <bluebaron> anyone know how to specify the recipient real name in an email header?
[14:06] <szal> lambda_x: video files or DVD?
[14:06] <Amish> aeon-ltd szal which font setting?
[14:06] <szal> Amish: huh?
[14:06] <Amish> szal I restarted my pc many times
[14:07] <Amish> szal Arial is in Libreoffice, but Lucida isnt part of Microsoft fonts
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> balagexp: could try wicd instead
[14:07] <Amish> szal I got Lucida seperately
[14:07] <szal> Amish: didn't say that Lucida was part of MS fonts, that's in xorg-x11-fonts or something
[14:07] <lambda_x> BluesKaj: VLC player and Totem behaves the same
[14:08] <balagexp> ActionParnship i cant install the package what i need whitout internet. this is the greatest prob :D
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> balagexp: is the system a laptop?
[14:08] <balagexp> no desktop
[14:08] <Amish> szal can we talk in different tab?
[14:08] <lambda_x> szal: random videos which I stream online
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> balagexp: is the router nearby?
[14:08] <balagexp> yes
[14:08] <szal> Amish: why?
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> balagexp: got an ethernet cable you can connect between?
[14:09] <Amish> szal so crowded
[14:09] <balagexp> ethernet yes
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> balagexp: use that, then run:  sudo dhclient3 eth0    and you will get a web connection and you can install from there
[14:09] <balagexp> connect my laptop to the desktop? :DDD cool

[14:16] <dwizzt> hi, noob question, what happens if i dd sda to sdb considering that sdb is bigger in size than sda (like sda=30gb and sdb=40gb), what happens to the remaining 10gb of sdb? will it still be usable?
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> dwizzt: sda to sdb1? you'll want to use the partions on sda (sda1) to partitions on sdb
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> dwizzt: you can also use partimage to go from smaller partitions to larger ones
[14:17] <dwizzt> ActionParsnip, i wanna clone sda to sdb
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> dwizzt: I suggest you use partimage
[14:17] <dwizzt> is it more noob-friendly?
[14:17] <vibhav> dwizzit ActionParsnip  is right , use Partimage
[14:18] <vibhav> diwizzit cant you use right click --> copy?

[14:49] <beli> djxcqtion: 865G will just work with unitys 2D features. 3d needs to be disabled
[14:49] <IdleOne> herby_trax: sure it is
[14:49] <djxcqtion> it just freezes and goes nuts..cant see anything...when I go to any function it keeps saying
[14:49] <djxcqtion> beli pm?
[14:49] <IdleOne> herby_trax: I mean it is still supported
[14:49] <beli> djxcqtion: thats why you should boot into console mode

[14:55] <herby_trax> vooze: thanks for that tip. I've been thinking about trying gnome3
[14:55] <moondog> I should switch to fluxbox
[14:55] <sabgenton> IdleOne: Click Add Source then close the Software Sources window. Ubuntu Software Center will then check your software sources for new updates.
[14:55] <sabgenton> automatic only I think
[14:55] <IdleOne> sabgenton: that is a work around I suppose.
[14:56] <beli> moondog: fluxbox is well done stuff :)
[14:57] <Caboose885> beli: moondog I love fluxbox. I'm using it as we speak :)
[14:57] <nibbler_> i'm writnig with tex kile, after conversion my < and > characters turn to the spanish head-over ? and ! - what could that be, and how would i fix this?
[14:58] <sabgenton> IdleOne: I still don't see a way to apt-get update in update manager
[14:58] <djxcqtion> hey beli : installed unity 2-d..how do i get out of console mode
[14:58] <djxcqtion> ??
[14:59] <beli> djxcqtion: read about   runlevels and init --> google again
[14:59] <IdleOne> sabgenton: if you are wanting to run update manually, open a terminal and type sudo apt-get update
[14:59] <IdleOne> sabgenton: to apply the updates you run sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:00] <BluesKaj> sabgenton, apt-get update is done in the terminal , the update manager has update options you have to choose.
[15:01] <sabgenton> just onedering if there was a direct equivalent for updating the package list
[15:01] <sabgenton> gui equivalent
[15:01] <djxcqtion> beli :just read the wiki article..it doesnt give me a specific command mate
[15:01] <Caboose885> ok guys quick question. I know 10.10 is no longer officially supported but I tried to move to 11.04 and it was to buggy. Should I go back to 10.04LTS?

[15:02] <jtobey> ;;buy 70 btc at 7.14 USD Dwolla - or lower amount
[15:02] <IdleOne> sabgenton: when you first run the update manager it checks for updates auto, if there are any it will offer to install them
[15:02] <JanMiddelkoop> Hi. :)  I've done a clean installation of Edubuntu 11.04 and get this: http://secondary.recreatie-zorg.nl/jan/aptget.png  I've Googled, and doing 'rm -f /var/lib/apt/lists/*' doesn't seem to have a good effect, not does 'dkpg --configure -a'.
[15:02] <sabgenton> Caboose885: what when bad?
[15:02] <JanMiddelkoop> Any advice would be very welcome.
[15:02] <Caboose885> sabgenton: I have a dell duo and anytime I would unplug or plug in my computer to a power supply I would have a kernel panic
[15:02] <sholden> Hi everyone.  Has anyone had success connecting an ipad2?  I can import photos, but I cant seem to see music in banshee.
[15:02] <Caboose885> sabgenton: also egalax drivers don't work with 11.04 yet so the touchscreen didn't work properly
[15:03] <Caboose885> sabgenton: and the screen rotation was off
[15:03] <roasted> Question - if I set up a box with 1hdd to root and a pair of 500gb Software Raid 1 drives as /home, would /home be on the 500gb drives for any user I create?
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> JanMiddelkoop: http://pastebin.com/9zbcs7LF
[15:03] <djxcqtion> Wow I still dont know how to get out of console mode :)
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> roasted: yes
[15:03] <sabgenton> all works for you in 10.10?
[15:04] <djxcqtion> can anyone help getting out of console mode in 11.04?
[15:04] <IdleOne> djxcqtion: ctrl-alt-F7 should bring you back to GUI
[15:04] <Caboose885> sabgenton: yes sir.
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> djxcqtion: CTRL+ALT+F7
[15:04] <BluesKaj> djxcqtion, a tty ?  f7 to get back to the desktop
[15:04] <sabgenton> even the ttouchscreen?
[15:04] <sabgenton> (just currious)
[15:04] <Caboose885> sabgenton: yes, single input. The egalax drivers don't even support multi-touch
[15:05] <djxcqtion> thanx idleone and actionparnish
[15:05] <sholden> When I plugin my iPad I'm prompted to  open banshee, but then nothing shows up under devices.  I'm using 11.04
[15:05] <djxcqtion> thanx all
[15:05] <JanMiddelkoop> ActionParsnip:  thanks for that. :)  Error persists though.
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> sholden: try other audio apps
[15:05] <carpi> if i wanted to install skype on natty, could someone please tell me what i should be searching for on aptitude? Im just looking for the phrase. thank you
[15:05] <sabgenton> Caboose885: ralink wifi freeze my laptop :(
[15:05] <beli> djxcqtion: in your care dont use the ctrl alt  shortcuts....you need to switch runlevels as i said...or just reboot ;)
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> JanMiddelkoop: can you pastebin the output of:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[15:06] <Caboose885> sabgenton: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1658635
[15:06] <Caboose885> sabgenton: I was really just wondering if I should go back to 10.04 that way my system will still receive updates and fixes. Even though everything seems to work ok for the most part on 10.10
[15:07] <kaspersky> ahh
[15:08] <vooze> How to install gnome tweak tool for gnome3??
[15:08] <JanMiddelkoop> ActionParsnip:  hrm, looks like I can't get the errors to pastebin easily... or at least I don't know how.  But there's lots of "bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file" and "/usr/bin/lzma: Decoder error"
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> vooze: gnome3 isn't supported here
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> JanMiddelkoop: can you pastebin the text please
[15:09] <djxcqtion> Ok its the same..Update: I am having a problem using 11.04.Apparently Unity doesnt support Intel 865G.Installed unity 2d in the console mode.
[15:09] <JanMiddelkoop> ActionParsnip:  how do I get the output of the command, including the errors to pastebin?
[15:09] <djxcqtion> still flickering and freezing
[15:09] <djxcqtion> its just kiing me
[15:09] <JanMiddelkoop> It's too much to paste and when I pipe it, it excludes errors since they go to stderr not stdin
[15:09] <vooze> ActionParsnip, why? I'm running it on ubuntu? perhaps other ubuntu users use gnome3?
[15:09] <herby_trax> Caboose885: I'm also wondering about changing from 10.10, even though I'm happy with it.
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> JanMiddelkoop: copy the text and go to http://pastebin.com and paste the text, when the page changes, copy the new address and paste here
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> vooze: because the desktop isn't in the repos
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> vooze: you are using a 3rd party DE so it is not possible to support here
[15:10] <djxcqtion> any solutions?
[15:10] <djxcqtion> or im just gonna hop back i think :(
[15:10] <beli> JanMiddelkoop: use     command 2>&1 1> ./textfile.txt
[15:10] <Caboose885> heby_trax: I'm happy with it but if I'm not going to recieve any security fixes and kernel fixes then I might just move back to 10.04
[15:10] <djxcqtion> beli my man..did what u asked me
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> vooze: try asking in #gnome
[15:11] <BluesKaj> Caboose885, 10.10 will give you updates and fixes as you call it but only for 18mos or so
[15:11] <djxcqtion> still same problem..do i have to remove 3d
[15:11] <djxcqtion> ?
[15:11] <Caboose885> BluesKaj: oh I'm not moving then :D I will try moving when 11.10 comes out
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> djxcqtion: could try the xorg edgers ppa, it may make things work or it may give you no desktop
[15:12] <BluesKaj> Caboose885, sounds like a good idea :)
[15:12] <JanMiddelkoop> beli:  thanks, noted.  Very useful.  :-)

[15:17] <ano_15642> should i change something there ?
[15:17] <DirtyDawg> type /j #backtrack-linux
[15:18] <djxcqtion> Wow nothing seems to work..Its just frustating...I think im just gonna go back to 10.10
[15:18] <djxcqtion> I mean I cant believe an issue this small..takes like a lifetime to fix
[15:18] <MonkeyDust> djxcqtion: use ubuntu classic, not unity
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> carpi: if you enable the partner repo, I believe it is in there
[15:19] <carpi> ActionParsnip: can i enable the partner repo in synaptic?
[15:19] <djxcqtion> Monkey: I dont seem to even get that option when I run through my USB
[15:19] <djxcqtion> it just directly goes to this frozen screen

[15:20] <ActionParsnip> carpi: the skype site has debs you can download and install easily
[15:20] <Caboose885> djxcqtion: you will have to logout to change sessions
[15:20] <MonkeyDust> djxcqtion: choose 'install ubuntu', not 'try ubuntu'
[15:20] <djxcqtion> will try with all the flickering and freezing...
[15:20] <carpi> ActionParsnip: thank you. i will check it
[15:20] <djxcqtion> Oh ok Monkeydusy
[15:20] <Harith> Hello, I installed ubuntu server 11.04, now when it comes to configure the interfaces, ifconfig shows me only loopback interface, eth0 is not there
[15:20] <djxcqtion> seems like a better option
[15:20] <ano_15642> any hints about the "mount point" importance ?
[15:21] <djxcqtion> then i choose Ubuntu Classic eh?
[15:21] <prashant_123456> hi all
[15:21] <herby_trax> yeah djx....
[15:21] <bbigras> My Ubuntu server just shut down while I was trying to run some java code. Where should I look to see if it was a kernel panic? I don't see anything in kern.log.
[15:21] <prashant_123456> openbox not working for me any ideas
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> Harith: you can add the config for the network devices in /etc/network/interfaces
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> Harith: you will need to restart the network service after you edit the file
[15:22] <surrentino> my laptop does not recharge the battery when i run ubuntu, no problems with windows vista... why??
[15:22] <prashant_123456> BluesKaj, hi
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> Harith: will help: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[15:22] <Caboose885> surrentino: you sure its just not a application bug and the laptop is really recharging?
[15:22] <BluesKaj> hi prashant_123456
[15:22] <prashant_123456> BluesKaj, i m not able to use openbox in ubuntu 11.04 ?
[15:22] <Harith> ActionParsnip, actually, I did, but when i give it ifup eth0, following message shown: eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
[15:22] <surrentino> OS continues to tell me that i have 14% yet
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> Harith: if you run:  sudo dhclient3 eth0     does it collect DHCP?
[15:24] <surrentino> my laptop does not recharge the battery when i run ubuntu, no problems with windows vista... why??
[15:24] <Harith> ActionParsnip, no, it seems that eth0 is not even recognized or something
[15:24] <Caboose885> surrentino: does ubuntu recognize that the laptop is plugged in?
[15:25] <BluesKaj> prashant_123456, sorry, I know nothing about openbox , never tried it .
[15:25] <prashant_123456> ok
[15:25] <prashant_123456> BluesKaj, ok
[15:26] <Harith> ActionParsnip, and when I lunch /etc/network/interfaces , eth0 is correctly configured
[15:26] <tehnubruk> oiiii
[15:26] <Caboose885> prashant_123456: have you tried Fluxbox? Its based of openbox so it might be similar
[15:26] <surrentino> caboose885: yes it does
[15:26] <prashant_123456> Caboose885, how to do that
[15:26] <Harith> ActionParsnip, but when executing "ifconfig", only loopback interface is shown
[15:27] <Caboose885> prashant_123456: in synaptic you can install it
[15:27] <ano_15642> someone know what should i select as "mount point" first for SWAP and then for ext4 ?
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> Harith: I suggest you run:   sudo lshw -C network    and use the product line to find guides
[15:27] <prashant_123456> Caboose885, ok
[15:27] <Caboose885> surrentino: is there an option in your bios to change the AC adaptor settings?
[15:27] <Caboose885> prashant_123456: I use fluxbox so I might be able to help more with it than openbox. ;)
[15:27] <gbjk> Hi. I'm suffering form this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/373111
[15:27] <surrentino> i should look but i really don't think so
[15:27] <prashant_123456> Caboose885, thanks verymuch
[15:27] <gbjk> I previously solved it using xbindkeys.
[15:28] <thegoodcushion> Is there a canonical (pardon the pun) list of what hardware is known to be compatible with Ubuntu?
[15:28] <gbjk> That worked fine, but now in 11.04 natty it doesn't solve the issue.
[15:28] <prashant_123456> Caboose885, actually i m looking for a great desktop management
[15:28] <gbjk> I can say that at some point it did, but I don't know what sequence of events caused that.
[15:28] <surrentino> Caboose885: if i'll find something in BIOS what i should do there?
[15:28] <djxcqtion> crissng my fingers,,,disk partioning happening :)
[15:28] <asabdo> I from Egypt
[15:28] <Caboose885> prashant_123456: I'm really happy with it. I configured it to my liking and it really didn't take long
[15:29] <prashant_123456> Caboose885, ok great
[15:29] <Caboose885> surrentino: just make sure its set to charge. I know my laptop has an option where it ignore being plugged in (I don't know why anyone would do that)
[15:29] <prashant_123456> Caboose885, should i log off and log on to take effect
[15:29] <gbjk> Hmmph. Solution was to kill off all xbindkeys, and start a new one. :o(
[15:29] <gbjk> Oh well.
[15:29] <Caboose885> prashant_123456: you might want to look at configuring fluxbox first
[15:30] <Caboose885> prashant_123456: are you on a laptop or desktop?
[15:30] <prashant_123456> Caboose885, on desktop
[15:30] <surrentino> caboose885: ok but, why that option should not work anymore? it works with vista, and i'm so tired about open it when i need to charge my battery
[15:30] <Caboose885> ok so no wireless?
[15:30] <roasted> Question - with GAdmin Samba, is there a reason to put users under the "access denied" section? I would think if they weren't listed under access allowed they would by default be denied...
[15:30] <prashant_123456> Caboose885, just installed
[15:31] <Caboose885> surrentino: Windows somehow can modify the BIOS. I can change settings in my BIOS from Windows. Like media keys and wireless.
[15:32] <surrentino> caboose885: wow..
[15:32] <Caboose885> prashant_123456: go ahead and open the file ~/fluxbox/startup
[15:32] <Caboose885> surrentino: what brand is your laptop?
[15:32] <surrentino> Caboose885: HP Pavilion dv5 1205el
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> roasted: test access. I like to screw mine does with access allowed and access denied lists
[15:33] <prashant_123456> Caboose885, dont know where it is installed
[15:33] <roasted> ActionParsnip, do you by chance use gadmin for your samba needs?
[15:33] <Caboose885> surrentino: what version of Ubuntu?
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> roasted: no, i use smb.conf so I can configure it via ssh
[15:34] <Caboose885> prashant_123456: in nautilus you will need to push Control + H to show hidden fils
[15:34] <Caboose885> *files
[15:34] <roasted> ActionParsnip, I see. HAve you ever used anything else, such as a web based frontend for it? Or always ssh/smb.conf?
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> roasted: I suggest you add: root bin daemon nobody    to the denied list, for security
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> roasted: no, never had to, the file is insanely simple
[15:35] <roasted> ActionParsnip, I agree. I'm just trying to figure out a way to remotely handle the system. I didn't think about ssh, as I could forward that outside the router for external access.
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> roasted: plus its secure :)
[15:35] <JanMiddelkoop> ActionParsnip:  I switched to the US server, but the result is the same.  I do see 'nl.archive.ubuntu.com' changed to 'us.archive...etc', so the change did happen.
[15:36] <surrentino> Caboose885: the last one
[15:36] <roasted> ActionParsnip, the one thing I like about gadmin is any changes I make I can see the config file in another tab. It's not a bad way to learn the ins and outs of the real smb.conf
[15:36] <Refael_> am attempting to convert to a static IP address, & am curious if router should be altered then modem, or modem & then router?
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> roasted: add   http://paste.ubuntu.com/612299/   to the file, restart smbd  and you have a share
[15:36] <Caboose885> surrentino: 10.10? or latest 11.04?
[15:36] <csgeek> I seemed to have borked up my postgresql installation.  I tried removing it and reinstalling it but its not recreating the /etc/postgresql and data.  Any suggestions?
[15:36] <thegoodcushion_> Is it possible to edit the GRUB boot menu from within GRUB itself?
[15:36] <surrentino> 11.04
[15:36] <JanMiddelkoop> If anyone has any tips about why apt-get doesn't work on a clean install of Edubuntu, I'd be very happy to receive them.  http://pastebin.com/eAkSyNxB
[15:37] <csgeek> thegoodcushion: just hit e to edi t
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> thegoodcushion: yes, you can press E on the line and you can edit it
[15:37] <Caboose885> surrentino: did you previously ever have ubuntu installed on your laptop before 11.04?
[15:37] <roasted> ActionParsnip, its funny how much info is in the smb.conf. IT looks huge and confusing when nearly 90% of it is just tips and advice.
[15:37] <csgeek> thegoodcushion: keep it mind it won't be permenant, you still have to make the changes once you're in the OS
[15:37] <thegoodcushion> ActionParsnip: I want to delete a couple of options and make another one the default
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> roasted: yeah a few files are like that
[15:38] <beli> JanMiddelkoop: broken mirror, broken network setup
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> thegoodcushion: if you uninstall the kernels you don't need, the grub menu will get cleaned up
[15:38] <thegoodcushion> ActionParsnip: I don't think this is what I want.  How do I manually edit the boot options?  I've uninstalled debian from a partition but it's still in the boot menu
[15:38] <thegoodcushion> also, I want Windows to be the default now, not Ubuntu
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> thegoodcushion: then you need to run:  sudo update-grub    and it should be ok
[15:39] <herby_trax> Refael_: If you are referring to a static Ip that you have arranged with your ISP, the modem will get that automatcially
[15:39] <thegoodcushion> How do I make Windows the default one?
[15:39] <book1> where is #ubuntu-ru channel?  it's not in the roomlist
[15:39] <Refael_> herby_trax: is such necessarily setup with a provider?
[15:40] <JanMiddelkoop> beli:  explain.  I tried both NL and US servers, so broken mirror seems unlikely?  You did give me an idea to check proxy logs though, this could shed some light.  Although it shouldn't be blocking anything.
[15:40] <Refael_> herby_trax: can it not be manually configured?
[15:40] <herby_trax> static IP may refer to your computer having a set IP address on your network.
[15:40] <JanMiddelkoop> I dunno what else could be broken about network setup?  It uses only HTTP, right?
[15:40] <herby_trax> that is one you configure
[15:40] <Caboose885> thegoodcushion: you can install a tool via synaptic called "Startup-manager"
[15:40] <thegoodcushion> Caboose885: thx
[15:40] <tamale_> Hi all.. when I login to 'ubuntu' in 11.04, I get my background but no unity launcher or panel. Help please!
[15:41] <thegoodcushion> now, how do I change my login keyring to match my Login password?
[15:41] <Refael_> it is a DSL Gateway
[15:41] <surrentino> Caboose885: no, never
[15:41] <JanMiddelkoop> beli:  sorry if the 'explain' sounded a bit harsh by the way, I didn't mean it that way... came out wrong.
[15:41] <boybaby> hello

[15:41] <beli>  JanMiddelkoop proxy? ok thats the fault then...
[15:41] <Caboose885> surrentino: ah that makes it more difficult. I had power issues with my computer on 11.04 and I ended up going back to 10.10
[15:42] <beli> JanMiddelkoop: try to see what you really get if you fetch the packages...use netcat
[15:42] <JanMiddelkoop> beli:  I did configure it properly though I believe.
[15:42] <JanMiddelkoop> I can wget fine
[15:42] <herby_trax> Refael_: If you want to give your computer an IP address, you can do it on the computer. You just need to make sure it is on your modem's network
[15:42] <djxcqtion> ok now i get a message saying that i dont have the hardware to use Unity
[15:42] <Caboose885> thegoodcushion: I had a login keyring and I ended up deleting it because it was annoying. I have a user password and thats good enough for me
[15:42] <thegoodcushion> how do you delete it?
[15:42] <djxcqtion> How do i choose Ubuntu Classic from the login screen
[15:42] <beli> JanMiddelkoop: wget a file.bz2   and then do  command line "file file.bz2"
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> djxcqtion: you need 3d accelleration for Unity
[15:43] <book1> upgrading to natty failed on udisks package install. but it boots normal. how can i reupgrade it?
[15:43] <Caboose885> thegoodcushion: brb switching to gnome
[15:43] <Refael_> herby_trax: am in need to alter the LAN address was the suspicion in creating a Static IP
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> djxcqtion: click name, at the bottom of the screen select gnome classic, then login
[15:43] <randomsoft> ifg.ircnode.com
[15:44] <djxcqtion> action : will try :)
[15:44] <tamale_> Hi all.. when I login to 'ubuntu' in 11.04, I get my background but no unity launcher or panel, or any error messages.  Classic mode, however works fine. Help please!
[15:44] <herby_trax> Refael_: If your modem's address is <IP_ADDRESS>, then you can give your computer an IP address of <IP_ADDRESS> to .254
[15:44] <JanMiddelkoop> beli:  do you have a full URL for file.bz2?
[15:44] <herby_trax> Refael_: you assign your computer's Ip address on the computer network settings.
[15:45] <book1> upgrading to natty hangs on udisks package install. but it boots normal. how can i reupgrade 10.10 to 11.04?
[15:45] <djxcqtion> Action : this would be at the login screen right
[15:45] <Caboose885> thegoodcushion: It should be (under GNOME at least) System-->Preferences-->Passwords and Encryption keys
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> tamale_: do you have 3D accelleration setup?
[15:45] <beli> JanMiddelkoop: and post me this: grep -i proxy  /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*; env|grep -i prox
[15:45] <djxcqtion> there seems to be a white bar with the Time and Universal Prefrences
[15:45] <pythonirc101> how can i chop a wav file into 1 second pieces in ubuntu?
[15:45] <djxcqtion> and a shutdown
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> book1: sudo apt-get -f install
[15:46] <Caboose885> thegoodcushion: you do know the passwords to connect back to the networks correct?
[15:46] <JanMiddelkoop> beli:  you rock.
[15:46] <JanMiddelkoop> beli:  Packages.bz2: HTML document text
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101i know of mp3split but don't know abouut WAVs
[15:46] <tamale_> ActionParsnip: Yes, compiz is working.
[15:46] <thegoodcushion> Caboose885: Oh I still want it to be automatic
[15:46] <Refael_> herby_trax: what is the Subnet & Gateway reference with setting up a static IP address?
[15:46] <beli> JanMiddelkoop: you are getting headers but faulty data....and you get that from your proxy
[15:46] <JanMiddelkoop> That answers everything for me. :)  It's a proxy blacklist message.
[15:46] <ActionParsnip> tamale_: then in ccsm enable the unity plugin
[15:47] <tamale_> ActionParsnip: and it looks like if I launch 'unity' manually, it mostly works.  the question is what makes it launch unity automatically by logging in? that appears to not be happning.
[15:47] <JanMiddelkoop> Next question is why this is blacklisted, but that I can figure out.
[15:47] <Caboose885> thegoodcushion: it will be if you remove the "Passwords:login"
[15:47] <thegoodcushion> Caboose885: okay, will try that
[15:47] <pythonirc101> ActionParsnip: can mp3split chop an mp3 into 1 second chunks?
[15:47] <JanMiddelkoop> beli:  you sir, have a new fan as of today.  Thank you. :)  And thanks to ActionParsnip as well! :-)
[15:47] <herby_trax> Refael_: Gateway is modem address, subnet can be <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101sure
[15:47] <beli> JanMiddelkoop: yw
[15:47] <Caboose885> thegoodcushion: but you will have to re-enter your passwords to the network once you delete the keys
[15:47] <book1> ActionParsnip: thanx maestro
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> JanMiddelkoop: np man :)
[15:47] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101: yes
[15:48] <thegoodcushion> Caboose885: right, well that's not what I want
[15:48] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101: I believe there is a gui for it too, I've always used the command line
[15:48] <thegoodcushion> Caboose885: What I did was that I changed my user account password just to keep it dynamic, and now I get an extra dialog telling me my login keyring password is different
[15:48] <djxcqtion> ActinParnish: Even Ubuntu Classic seem to be flickering...Weird :(
[15:48] <herby_trax> Refael_: for computer IP address, I'd recommend something like .25 or higher, to prevent IP address conflicts
[15:49] <Caboose885> thegoodcushion: oh, right click on the Passwords:login folder and click change. It will prompt you for a new password :)
[15:49] <pythonirc101> ActionParsnip: what command should i use to chop it in 1second chunks?
[15:49] <djxcqtion> Ubuntu Classic with no effects?
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> !info mp3split-gtk
[15:50] <Caboose885> djxcqtion: do you have compiz settings manager installed?
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> !info mp3splt-gtk
[15:50] <ActionParsnip> bingo
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101: install mp3splt-gtk
[15:51] <djxcqtion> I dont think so Caboose885
[15:51] <Refael_> herby_trax:  if the address es <IP_ADDRESS>, can it be altered to <IP_ADDRESS>?
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> pythonirc101: http://tuxtweaks.com/2008/10/split-mp3-files-with-mp3splt/   may help at CLI
[15:52] <Refael_> herby_trax: it is meant, can the address with the modem be altered from 0.1 to 1.8
[15:52] <herby_trax> Refael_: no, only the last number can change, and i'd recommend >25
[15:52] <pythonirc101> ActionParsnip: I just need the command that splits a mp3 into 1 second chunk...already installed mp3splt
[15:53] <djxcqtion> hey thanx ActionParsnip
[15:53] <djxcqtion> It seems a little more stable
[15:53] <djxcqtion> Im gonna start from here
[15:53] <thegoodcushion> ActionParsnip: Is it easy for me to change the items that are listed on the grub menu?  See, I want my Mum to be able to make sense of it
[15:53] <Caboose885> djxcqtion: its in synaptic or you can install it terminal by typing :sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[15:53] <dury> hi there channel :)
[15:53] <Refael_> herby_trax: is the Gateway the modem IP address. or is the Subnet rather the modem IP?
[15:54] <thegoodcushion> ActionParsnip: I mean, change the text that is displayed
[15:54] <djxcqtion> ok Caboose885..:)
[15:54] <djxcqtion> What does it do though mate>
[15:54] <Caboose885> allows you to control compiz (the effects) on your computer
[15:55] <herby_trax> Refael_:  Gateway is the modem IP address
[15:55] <djxcqtion> right
[15:55] <djxcqtion> thanx mate
[15:55] <thegoodcushion> Caboose885: that worked perfectly
[15:55] <dury> when I boot the IDE hd it says: error: no such partition. grub rescue> _   how can I solve that?
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> thegoodcushion: my grub knowledge is minimal, If you use the guide I gave it will put windows at the top
[15:56] <thegoodcushion> ActionParsnip: I worked out from the guide how it works
[15:56] <beli> cu folks
[15:56] <Refael_> herby_trax: is static routing the same as setting a static IP address?
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> dury: boot to liveCD and reinstall grub to the drive
[15:56] <lifeforce4> I have apache2 running on my local system for development. I wanted to close the port so no one could access it from any system besides my localhost. Is there an easy way to do this?
[15:56] <ActionParsnip> thegoodcushion: cool :)
[15:56] <herby_trax> Refael_: nope, leave the routing to auto
[15:56] <thegoodcushion> ActionParsnip: I'm getting rid of the stupid things like memtest
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> thegoodcushion: if you uninstall memtest it will remove it
[15:57] <thegoodcushion> in my experience if your ram isn't working the thing won't boot that far anyway
[15:57] <ActionParsnip> thegoodcushion: it's on the liveCD too ;)
[15:57] <Refael_> herby_trax: in a separate modem/router configuration, where is the static IP configured?
[15:58] <Caboose885> thegoodcushion: you can make custom menu entries under the /etc/grub.d/ directory
[15:58] <Caboose885> thegoodcushion: it even has an empty 40_custom file waiting for you ;)
[15:58] <thegoodcushion> Caboose885: Yes, I can
[15:58] <dury> ActionParsnip: when I boot the liveCD there is not option for that..
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> dury: when you see the stickman screen, press SPACE and you will
[15:59] <herby_trax> Refael_: Modems usually give out IP addresses using DHCP. For static IP's you can set them on each computer instead.
[15:59] <dury> ActionParsnip: stickman screen what's that?
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> dury: with the keyboard and little man at the bottom
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> dury: keyboard input = human interaction, is what it means
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> dury: not seen this: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Fjw6yl1x3Zc/TVUlk_57J_I/AAAAAAAAAEg/cljA9QoAW7o/s1600/boot.png
[16:00] <dury> ActionParsnip: see what I can do... hang on
[16:01] <Refael_> herby_trax: it gives error in router config that the WAN & LAN are the same, & to proof them
[16:01] <djxcqtion> hey Caboose885 successfully insattled Compiz..Thanks :)..now any reccommeded effects to take out mate?
[16:01] <dury> ActionParsnip: ok I know what you mean...one minute please
[16:01] <djxcqtion> any reccomeded settings?
[16:01] <vibhav> dury,  what is the prob??
[16:02] <qwertyuio> hi!
[16:02] <Caboose885> djxcqtion: you looking for flashy or plain? ;)
[16:02] <herby_trax> Refael_: leave WAN to auto, LAN is what we were dealing with here
[16:02] <Caboose885> Hi qwertyuio
[16:02] <dury> a sec
[16:02] <qwertyuio> any scripting GURU in here? ;)
[16:02] <djxcqtion> veru very plain mate..just want use it
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | qwertyuio
[16:02] <iceroot> qwertyuio: #bash (and use real questions instead of "anyone")
[16:03] <herby_trax> Refael_: Setup computer's static LAN IP on the computer network settings not the modem config
[16:03] <djxcqtion> basic would be the best..i seem to have no 3d accelarator
[16:03] <djxcqtion> I have an intel 865g so unity no supporetd
[16:03] <Caboose885> djxcqtion: well I think the standard setup is pretty plain. I really like Wobbly Windows but that might be to flashy for your taste
[16:04] <djxcqtion> already disables
[16:04] <Refael> herby_trax: resolved it, gracias
[16:04] <djxcqtion> disabled..
[16:04] <djxcqtion> :)..
[16:04] <Caboose885> you can change the window animations under Animations
[16:04] <herby_trax> Refael: well done.
[16:05] <Caboose885> or if you want to disable all desktop effects you can turn them off under System-->Preferences-->Appearence-->Visual Effects
[16:05] <djxcqtion> will do that mate
[16:05] <ampharos> I'm trying to install Xubuntu through Wubi on this machine. When I reboot into the installer, the installer seems to take forever on Verification - more details reports a ValueError on the current arch: what do I do?
[16:05] <djxcqtion> Is there anyway to go back to an earlier version from here Caboose
[16:06] <djxcqtion> cause this is clearly not working for me
[16:06] <ampharos> A shame, as I'm getting full colour Plymouth at a crisp, proper resolution.
[16:06] <Caboose885> djxcqtion: it seems the only way to "roll back" is to clean install an older version
[16:06] <tamale_> ActionParsnip: Thanks, that did the trick. Looks like I won't be able to use unity however.  Having one monitor on top of another kills unity's usability completely.
[16:07] <tamale_> ActionParsnip: Are you aware of a way to use the unity launcher with the standard gnome panels?
[16:07] <Caboose885> thegoodcushion: what I did to customize grub and save time was copy the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file into the 40_custom file and made the changes from that.
[16:07] <Caboose885> thegoodcushion: then run sudo update-grub and you should be good to go
[16:07] <djxcqtion> What do u reccomend : Ubuntu 11.04 without unity (using claasic without effects) and it being buggy OR Ubuntu 10.10(which ran perfectly?
[16:07] <bob3291> hello, ima noob and dont hate me for it!
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> tamale_: not sure, i believe if you log into classic desktop then run:  compiz --replace     you may get luck
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> bob3291: if you have a question, ask it
[16:08] <tamale_> ActionParsnip: Actually, I just logged into ubuntu classic and ran 'unity-2d-launcher'
[16:08] <Caboose885> djxcqtion: I run 10.10 because 11.04 was to buggy for me as well
[16:08] <bob3291> can provide me with some information regarding installing files with .tar.gz extension?! thanks
[16:08] <tamale_> ActionParsnip: looks almost perfect.. except that launches the panel as well which I didn't want.
[16:08] <ampharos> Anybody know why I'm not progressing in the installer? The GTK frontend has had an exception for me
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> bob3291: there are compressed files
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> tamale_: you can remove one panel, you must have a panel, or you can edit gconf so it doesn't keep gnome-panel running
[16:09] <genii-around> !tar | bob3291
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> bob3291: what is the file for?
[16:10] <djxcqtion> I just did some minor partioning? Will taht effect anything when I roll back or unisntall?
[16:11] <xanni> join #bitcoin-otc
[16:11] <Caboose885> djxcqtion: I would tell Ubuntu to manually define the partitions. That way you can tell it to install to just the current 11.04 partition
[16:11] <Caboose885> djxcqtion: it will formate everything on there so back up your files :)
[16:12] <tamale_> ActionParsnip: I do want my gnome panel though.. I just want the unity 'launcher' when I press super key
[16:12] <LinSkyrate> question? does anyone know howto fix the display error after installing ubuntu on a mac via bootcamp
[16:12] <djxcqtion> I never really used 11.04
[16:12] <Refael> herby_trax: in network connections, what should be entered for DNS Servers?
[16:12] <john_rambo> Booted from live lubuntu cd .....want to install it .....but when I select any menu item & press enter keyboard hangs
[16:12] <djxcqtion> I was using ti on Wubi
[16:12] <bob3291_> sorry my internet decided not to work
[16:12] <tamale_> ActionParsnip: However, I don't want the list of icons
[16:12] <LinSkyrate> all is upp and running, but the display are garble
[16:12] <herby_trax> Refael: DNS servers you get from your ISP
[16:13] <Caboose885> djxcqtion: oh. Well I'm guessing if you just remove the existing wubi install and install the older version it should work just fine
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> tamale_: then set something else as therequired component in gconf-editor (I believe that keeps it running)
[16:13] <mus000_> Hi friendly Ubuntu peeps, I have a problem:
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> tamale_: just remove the window list from the gnome-panel and you shouldbe ok
[16:13] <mus000_> I have 11.04 on my laptop, but I cannot log in to any session except a terminal from GDM
[16:14] <Refael> herby_trax: can multiple configurations be honored? similar to use a custom config specific times, then return to the "auto etho"?
[16:14] <mus000_> I have no idea what's wrong. More info is at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1766405
[16:14] <mus000_> If anyone has any suggestions, it would be really appreciated
[16:14] <champ> hi can any body guide to install mac theme on ubuntu 11.04?
[16:15] <bob3291_> ubottu,  the link you provided me with only states what they are. very helpful but not what i am looking for. thanks anyway
[16:15] <mus000_> champ: Google "Mac4Lin" (without the quotes), but it only workds for "classic"
[16:15] <herby_trax> Refael: All you'd be changing is the IP address I guess. I don't see the need to change anything else.
[16:15] <bob3291_> damn...
[16:15] <dury> ActionParsnip: press space... I got Try ubuntu without installing. Install Ubuntu. Check disc for defects. Test memory. Boot from first harddisk. F1 Help F2 Language F3 Keymap F4 Modes F5 Accessibility F6 Other Options

[16:16] <herby_trax> Refael: I guess you could. I have a program that requires no static IP so I have to turn off static IP to use that.
[16:16] <Caboose885> champ: Mac4Lin is probably the best one out there
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> dury: adds more options, good stuff huh :)
[16:17] <mus000_> anyone with help? I've tried Googling my problem, but found no solutions
[16:17] <Refael> herby_trax: though there is space for multiple configurations in the Network Connections window. Wherein is 1 honored & the other disabled?
[16:17] <carpi> ActionParsnip: done :). i set up repo in synaptic and installed using aptitude
[16:17] <carpi> ActionParsnip: thanks agian
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> champ: grab the maverick one
[16:17] <edbian> mus000_, I just got here.  What is your problem?
[16:17] <ampharos> anybody know about the xubuntu installer crashing pre-install?
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> carpi: np man
[16:17] <ampharos> It's crashed on verifying
[16:18] <dury> ActionParsnip: add more options. It's not an option
[16:18] <mus000_> edbian: I cannot log in to any session from GDM (except recovery console)
[16:18] <champ> ActionParsnip:is it stable ?.
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> ampharos: try upgrading ubiquity then installing
[16:18] <mus000_> more is at: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1766405
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> champ: sure
[16:18] <edbian> mus000_, Can you log into tty1  ?
[16:18] <herby_trax> Refael: not sure
[16:18] <dury> ActionParsnip: what you mean
[16:18] <mus000_> edbian: but I need my laptop soon which is why I came here instead of waiting for an answer there
[16:18] <champ> ActionParsnip:what is the its file size ?
[16:18] <mus000_> edbian: I am not sure what tty1 is
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> dury: you can do a memtest there. Is that not what you want?
[16:19] <edbian> mus000_, press ctrl + alt + F1 to go to tty1, press ctrl + alt + F7 to go back to the gui
[16:19] <ampharos> ActionParsnip: I'm using Wubi, no dice
[16:19] <DrShoggoth> ack
[16:19] <ampharos> It's a Python ValueError about arch
[16:19] <mus000_> edbian: how do I go to tty1?
[16:19] <DrShoggoth> if you are using wubi, you deserve whatever problems you have
[16:19] <mus000_> oops
[16:19] <edbian> mus000_, press ctrl + alt + F1
[16:19] <edbian> mus000_, hahahah
[16:19] <ampharos> I don't want to commit to ubuntu on that PC
[16:19] <bob3291_> could anyone provide me with information on how to install .tar.gz files
[16:19] <dury> ActionParsnip: when I boot the IDE hd it says: error: no such partition. grub rescue> _
[16:19] <mus000_> edbian: OK, I'm back at the login screen
[16:20] <mus000_> edbian: what now?
[16:20] <DrShoggoth> ampharos, you can boot an ubuntu disk to do a memtest
[16:20] <ampharos> the CD drive is slow and it has low ram
[16:20] <edbian> mus000_, switch to tty1 and try to log in there
[16:20] <mus000_> it worked fine
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> dury: ahhh ok then you want to try ubuntu so you get the desktop, you can then chroot to the installed OS and manipulate grub
[16:20] <edbian> mus000_, when you log in at gdm what errors do you get?
[16:20] <mus000_> edbian: and back at GDM it tells me that I am logged in
[16:20] <ampharos> it's happened a different PC with the same variant of onboard GFX
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> dury: also, all drives are IDE, I am imagining you mean PATA
[16:20] <mus000_> edbian: no errors, simply a blank screen
[16:20] <ampharos> so this is not specific to my PC
[16:21] <ampharos> i also don't want to burn a disc, and partition: I just need to test out an installed environment without partitioning: and this is what wubi should be letting me do
[16:21] <edbian> mus000_, wait.  You mentioned that gdm says you're already logged in implying it would not let you log in.  Was the blank screen happening before you logged into tty1  ??
[16:21] <dury> ActionParsnip: not all drives are IDE there is sata too
[16:22] <dury> ActionParsnip: in IDE is ubuntu in sata win7
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> dury: IDE means "integrated drive electronics", if you look at the drive, the SATA drive has an IDE
[16:22] <Caboose885> ampharos: Do you have a USB thumbdrive? You could try it that way. Or Virtualbox
[16:22] <mus000_> edbian: Let me rephrase: If I type in my password at the GDM, it just goes to a blank screen and I need to do a hard shut down
[16:22] <ampharos> it doesn't boot from USb and virtualbox is brutally slow
[16:22] <mus000_> edbian: But if I cntrl+alt+f1, then I can log in using my username and password
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> dury: old drives back in the day didn't have IDEs, all the intelligence was on the controller, when new drives with IDEs came out they were called IDE and itstuck
[16:23] <Caboose885> ampharos: how old is the computer
[16:23] <ampharos> I want to run a fully installed, not live xubuntu environment on bare metal
[16:23] <ampharos> 2004-ish
[16:23] <edbian> mus000_, ok, good.  Have you changed anything that started this problem?  Switched graphics drivers or anything like that?
[16:23] <Caboose885> ampharos: hmmm. Do you have a spare HD you could swap in it? :D
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> ampharos: do you have a floppy drive?
[16:23] <Refael> herby_trax: the router returns a different MAC address than "ifconfig"
[16:23] <mus000_> nope
[16:23] <mus000_> edbian: nope
[16:23] <ampharos> no floppies, no spare HD, just a slow CD drive and windows
[16:23] <thegoodcushion> I had debian and Ubuntu installed side by side.  I've deleted the debian partition and now it's free space.  Can I expand the ubuntu partition to use the spare space?    Problems are almost always posted there
[16:25] <BluesKaj> thegoodcushion, yes , use a live cd partitoner like gparted to resize the partition
[16:25] <LinSkyrate> question? does anyone know howto fix the display error after installing ubuntu on a mac via bootcamp
[16:25] <mus000_> edbian: If i just need to type in dmesg, I think i will be fine
[16:25] <thegoodcushion> BluesKaj: right.  I can't do it from within Ubuntu while it's running on that partition?
[16:25] <ampharos> and like I said I don't want to install onto an actual partition: wubi is the way to go fow
[16:25] <ampharos> and i want wubi to work
[16:25] <LinSkyrate> seems like a normal prob, but does not find solution
[16:25] <Caboose885> ampharos: Are you sure that its not listing your thumbdrive under the hard drives of the BIOS?
[16:25] <edbian> mus000_, that's why we're logging in at the gui, to get some errors in dmesg that can show us some clues
[16:26] <BluesKaj> thegoodcushion, no, you can't resize a mounted partition
[16:26] <edbian> mus000_, If that doesn't make sense ask now
[16:26] <ampharos> Caboose885: I actually do want to install to the HD, just not as a partition, but loopback disk image
[16:26] <Caboose885> ampharos: I had a laptop from 2001 that listed a thumbdrive as a hard drive so thats how I had to boot it
[16:26] <LinSkyrate> how do i scroll upp in irssi?
[16:26] <ampharos> LinSkyrate: page up
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> ampharos: install magicdisk and download the ubuntu ISO, MD5 test it then mount the ISO in windows and install it that way
[16:26] <LinSkyrate> ahh
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> LinSkyrate: pg up
[16:27] <LinSkyrate> with mac?
[16:27] <somesecretpeter> Is irssi the terminal irc client of choice for most of you?
[16:27] <Caboose885> ampharos: I know but if you can boot off the thumbdrive then you could install xubuntu to the thumbdrive
[16:27] <ampharos> I have a CD drive, it's just slow
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> LinSkyrate: should be that same
[16:27] <FiVeSeVeN> Bonjour ici :)
[16:27] <LinSkyrate> ehm no page up here.. lol
[16:27] <BluesKaj> mounted= partiton/device that is being used. thegoodcushion
[16:27] <tarvid> Where is "Places" configured? I now have 3 entries to my NAS server, two of them work, I want to remove the broken one and one of the duplicates.
[16:27] <ampharos> and don't want to waste bandwidth slash disc
[16:27] <thegoodcushion> BluesKaj: gotcha
[16:27] <FiVeSeVeN> il est géant votre serveur !!
[16:27] <ActionParsnip> LinSkyrate: no page up in mac, wow thats crazy
[16:27] <LinSkyrate> ahh FN+arrov
[16:27] <Caboose885> ampharos: are you running windows xp?
[16:28] <ampharos> yes
[16:28] <Caboose885> ampharos: system specs?
[16:28] <FiVeSeVeN> hello :)
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> tarvid: open nautilus and you should be able to rightclick them and remove them
[16:28] <LinSkyrate> back to my origin prob... display garble with Ubuntu installed on a Mac Mini.. anyone know the solution?
[16:28] <BluesKaj> thegoodcushion, burn a gparted livecd and use that ...it's handy to have around as well
[16:28] <ampharos> Pentium 4 Celeron, 2.4 ghz, 256 MB RAM, IDE HD, 75 GB, and Intel Extreme Graphics 82845GVSR
[16:28] <ActionParsnip> LinSkyrate: try the boot option: nomodeset
[16:28] <FiVeSeVeN> 1715 users !!!
[16:28] <FiVeSeVeN> lol
[16:28] <mus000_> edbian: I ran dmesg, then went back to the gui, tried to login and it froze. Then I made a hard shutdown, and did the same
[16:29] <mus000_> edbian: dmesg says the same
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> ampharos: those intel chips are a pain
[16:29] <FiVeSeVeN> what ?
[16:29] <edbian> mus000_, Everytime you reboot dmesg is wiped.  Can you not switch to tty1 while the GUI is frozen?
[16:29] <mus000_> doesn't work
[16:29] <mus000_> edbian: doesn't work
[16:29] <aprilus> how to enter grub when boot?
[16:29] <ampharos> i'm getting fine graphics though, crisp and full colour plymouth, so I'm not complaining. but the siltuation has nothing to do with gfx
[16:30] <bastidrazor> aprilus: hold shift after POST
[16:30] <FiVeSeVeN> quelqu'un peut me dire c'est quoi ce serveur qui est énorme???????
[16:30] <edbian> mus000_, I was afraid of that.  I think something is wrong with the data on the hdd that the system needs to read while it is loading the gui.  I suggest you check the hdd using tty1
[16:30] <aprilus> bastidrazor: thanks, I'll try
[16:30] <Caboose885> ampharos: what exactly happens when you try and install it via wubi?
[16:30] <FiVeSeVeN> Caboose885?
[16:31] <ampharos> I can boot up to the installer, just that it stalls the ubiquity crashes with a ValueError
[16:31] <Caboose885> FiVeSeVeN: yes?
[16:31] <ampharos> the gtk frontend still works, just it stalls doing nothing
[16:31] <FiVeSeVeN> you speak french?
[16:31] <Caboose885> FiVeSeVeN: no, sorry
[16:31] <mus000_> edbian: how should I do that?
[16:31] <tarvid> ActionParsnip, thanks
[16:31] <FiVeSeVeN> no problem :(
[16:31] <FiVeSeVeN> thank you
[16:31] <edbian> mus000_, Looking it up. hang on
[16:31] <mus000_> edbian: thanks, a google search isn't helping me much, I'm afraid
[16:32] <FiVeSeVeN> this server is american Caboose885?
[16:32] <edbian> mus000_, sudo shutdown -rF now       makes the system shutdown and reboot now, the F makes it check the hdd on the next boot.  Switch to tty1 and run that command
[16:32] <Caboose885> FiVeSeVeN: no, but the language for support is english. Just like the UbuntuForums
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> ampharos: could grab the minimal ISO and you will install from the repos. This assumes your hardware works with the default drivers
[16:32] <mus000_> edbian: thanks, back in 2 mins
[16:33] <FiVeSeVeN> okay okay :)
[16:33] <edbian> mus000_, The disc check might take some time
[16:33] <sipior> FiVeSeVeN: have a look in #ubuntu-fr for assistance in French.
[16:33] <FiVeSeVeN> oh merci
[16:33] <ampharos> I've said many times I don't want to commit to installing to a partition: I want to install into a removable loopback image
[16:33] <FiVeSeVeN> :)
[16:33] <Caboose885> ampharos: I'm afraid your hardware just might not let you
[16:34] <ampharos> I've tried with simi;ar hardware and software, it just won't work
[16:34] <ampharos> I might have to run off of CD, and see if I can install
[16:34] <BluesKaj> ampharos, then just use a live cd
[16:34] <ampharos> yeah will download
[16:34] <Caboose885> ampharos: good choice, If it doesn't work well you might want to try Lubuntu
[16:34] <ampharos> I'll come back with any questions.
[16:35]  * Caboose885 sigh
[16:36] <woodzy> How do i remove Gnome Games without removing Gnome Desktop ?
[16:37] <djxcqtion> how do i unistall 11.04? If I install 10.10 again does it automatically delete 11.04?
[16:37] <mus000_> edbian: I ran the restart command twice, but saw no Check File System thingy that I see every 20 or so times I start up
[16:37] <ActionParsnip> woodzy: sudo apt-get --purge remove gbrainy gnome-mahjong gnomine
[16:37] <mus000_> edbian: and I still can't log in
[16:38] <Caboose885> woodzy: in synaptic type "gnome-games"
[16:38] <Wolfkstaag> So I'm trying to enable Coolbits, but my card isn't showing up in Xorg.  Am I missing something?
[16:38] <Caboose885> and mark the pacage for removal
[16:38] <edbian> mus000_, Mmm hang on.
[16:38] <djxcqtion> Unintallation for 11.04?
[16:38] <mus000_> edbian: thanks!
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> djxcqtion: you will need to delete the partitions currently holding Natty and install to the free space
[16:38] <alvin_> hello, can i use opendns here?
[16:38] <champ> ActionParsnip:what is the its file size of mac theme?
[16:38] <darkstar49> woodzy: apt-cache search gnames | grep gnome
[16:38] <ActionParsnip> djxcqtion: be sure to backup anything you need
[16:38] <Caboose885> djxcqtion: it will format 11.04 off the drive. just back it all up
[16:38] <edbian> mus000_, Thanks for your patience
[16:39] <alvin_> hello, can i use opendns here? i'm running xubuntu 11.04
[16:39] <darkstar49> *games
[16:39] <edbian> mus000_, sudo touch /forcefsck     this creates a file in / that tells the system to check on boot.  Run the command and then reboot.  This one I have actually done before.  The shutdown command I think is only on fedora
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> champ: let me see
[16:40] <sipior> alvin_: sure, why couldn't you?
[16:40] <edbian> alvin_, What do you mean 'here' ??
[16:40] <ActionParsnip> champ: Length: 41991648 (40M) [application/x-gzip]
[16:40] <mus000_> edbian: thanks, back in 2mins
[16:40] <alvin_> i already added the dns server in the network config, but when i browse its always saying blocked by opendns
[16:41] <edbian> mus000_, sure
[16:41] <Wolfkstaag> So I'm trying to enable Coolbits, but my card isn't showing up in Xorg.  Am I missing something?
[16:41] <champ> ActionParsnip:how to install it anyway?. i just finished doenloading it.
[16:41] <ActionParsnip> Wolfkstaag: you enable it in xorg.cof last time I tried
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> champ: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/make-ubuntu-look-like-mac-osx-in.html   the page tells you
[16:42] <lifeforce4> Is there any simple way to close ports in ubuntu so only my local system can access them?
[16:42] <alvin_> edbian: sipior: here in xubuntu.. i already added the dns server in the network config, but when i browse its always saying blocked by opendns
[16:42] <Wolfkstaag> ActionParsnip: That's what I mean, though.  The only things showing in my Xorg.conf are my mouse and a random, basically blank entry.
[16:42] <angelo> #imm-dev
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> champ: you will need a switch on the install.sh file so it doesn't care you aren't using Maverick
[16:43] <edbian> alvin_, blocked BY opendns ??  That implies that the sites you're trying to view are not allowed by opendns
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> Wolfkstaag: if you run:  sudo nvidia-xconfig     you will get one
[16:43] <mus000_> edbian: it's checking...
[16:43] <nimbiotics> hello ya'll. Does anyone know of a system wide equalizer for ubuntu 11.04?? TIA!
[16:43] <edbian> mus000_, good
[16:43] <edbian> mus000_, Is it finding anything?
[16:43] <mus000_> edbian: not sure
[16:44] <mus000_> it finished, and i tried logging in
[16:44] <mus000_> same problem
[16:44] <alvin_> edbian: but why in windows i can browse for those sites?
[16:44] <CharlieSu> Hi.  On my production servers I'd like for Users to be prompted to enter a description of what work they're performing upon SSHing in.  Ideally I'd log the message to the auth.log or something similar.  Anyone have experience doing something like this?  I'm trying to determine the best place to do this.  Should I specify a PROMPT_COMMAND in my authorized keys files?  Do I need to create a custom shell that invokes bash after
[16:44] <edbian> alvin_, I have no idea
[16:44] <Wolfkstaag> ActionParsnip: That looks better.  Thanks!
[16:44] <RedNose_> re
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> Wolfkstaag: np :)
[16:44] <alvin_> edbian: have you tried this dns?
[16:45] <edbian> alvin_, I use open dns all the time.  I doubt it is blocking sites for you.  I have never seen it block any site ever
[16:46] <woodzy> thx everyone
[16:46] <alvin_> but why can't i?
[16:46] <edbian> alvin_, I suspect your ISP is not allowing you to use openDNS.  This is a GUESS
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> alvin_: try changing to oogle's
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> *google's
[16:46] <thegoodcushion> I have an Ubuntu partition after a debian partition.  I'm getting rid of debian.  I'm using a gparted live CD to resize the Ubuntu partition so that it takes up the space of the debian partition.  Gparted has warned me that moving the start sector of Ubuntu might cause it to fail to boot.  Should I be worried about this or should I go ahead?
[16:47] <lifeforce4> Is there an easy firewall app for 11.04? I'm running an httpd for testing and only want localhost to have access.
[16:47] <BluesKaj> open dns works ok if you're in the US , I found that it wasn't syncing with my IP address so I wasn't getting emails . altho the opendns settings trackers was enabled
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> lifeforce4: try ufw or firestarter
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> I use dnsmasq to try and keep dns local, then use my ISPs
[16:48] <BluesKaj> google dns on the other hand works without any special settings ...it's much more reliable
[16:48] <alvin_> actionparsnip, what do u mean oogle's?
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> alvin_: was a typo, note the next line...
[16:48] <bastidrazor> alvin_: <IP_ADDRESS> or <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:48] <cannonball> Of the two twitter apps I've tested (gtwitter and twitux, on 11.04), neither one can auth to twitter (one says access denied, the other says connection failed).  I can login to the web interface with the same username and password, so I know the password is correct.   Anybody using those apps?
[16:49] <cannonball> Or are they known to be not working?
[16:49] <bastidrazor> alvin_: using dnsmasq as ActionParsnip suggested is a great idea. it makes 2nd visits to webpages very fast.
[16:49] <edbian> mus000_, Check this out:  http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&hl=en&source=hp&q=blank+screen+on+gdm+login&aq=f&aqi=g-v1&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=e4d813b43c7d221c
[16:49] <BluesKaj> dnsmasq seems complicated ActionParsnip ...was considering it but the tutorial I was following lost me :)
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> cannonball: http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/05/03/twitter-clients-for-ubuntu-linux/
[16:49] <alvin_> ahh, see where will i put those dns? in the automatic (address only)?
[16:49] <edbian> mus000_, I have to go.  That first thread seems very similar to our problem.
[16:50] <cannonball> ActionParsnip: many thanks
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> BluesKaj: you just need to edit /etc/dnsmasq.conf  so it listens to <IP_ADDRESS>  then set the interface to DHCP address only, then set the DNS to <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:50] <edbian> mus000_, Also, boot a live CD and see if that freezes.  It will help determine if this is a hardware or software error
[16:50] <mus000_> edbian: thanks, I will check out the thread and get back to you
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> BluesKaj: editting a single text file, then using network manager to use <IP_ADDRESS> as the first DNS, not hard at all
[16:51] <mus000_> edbian: give me about 5-10 mins
[16:51] <bastidrazor> alvin_: automatic (DHCP) addresses only ...will allow you to set DNS servers
[16:52] <BluesKaj> ActionParsnip, NM? ..i haven't used it since you showed me that /etc/network/interfaces could run the ethernet conn itself
[16:53] <edbian> mus000_, Gotta go!  Goodluck!
[16:53] <mus000_> edbian: thanks for the help so far, I really appreciate it!
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> BluesKaj: then define the dns in /etc/resolv.conf
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> BluesKaj: makes it even easier, add the top line:   nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:54] <bastidrazor> BluesKaj: /etc/resolv.conf is where it looks for dns servers or dnsmasq can look in another file if you specify it in the dnsmasq.conf.. since sometimes resolv.conf is overwritten.
[16:56] <alvin_> edbian: still doesn't work
[16:57] <BluesKaj> bastidrazor,  the /etc/dnsmasq.conf here is blank  , so I can achieve the same effect if I setup /etc/resolve.conf as action mentioned ?
[17:01] <Refael> herby_trax: so you were suggesting a static IPAddress needs to be obtained from the Internet Service Provider?
[17:05] <valleydaddy78> hello all
[17:06] <CharlieSu> Is it possible to execute code in an authorized_keys file?
[17:11] <CharlieSu> Is it possible to log to the auth.log from a shell program?  How can I do this?
[17:11] <dexterjsmith> Hello?
[17:11] <ozan_> foo
[17:12] <MrKeuner> hello, one of my systems gets disconnected sporadically... I get this in syslog when it is disconnected: e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Down Sometimes it comes back up by itself. Sometimes gets stuck in down, rendering the system disconnected... how can I track the problem?
[17:16] <BluesKaj> bastidrazor, I had to add the google dns IPs to the /etc/resolv.conf file . Does the router need it's dns set to auto or to the google dns IPs ?
[17:17] <zal> <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:17] <BluesKaj> bastidrazor, btw I added nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>, as the top line in resolv.conf
[17:17] <bastidrazor> BluesKaj: the routers dns doesn't matter. i use my ISP's for the router and set resolv.conf as <IP_ADDRESS> then my router as a fall back
[17:19] <polon> d
[17:19] <polon> hallo
[17:19] <BluesKaj> bastidrazor, yeah i used n=both primary  and secondary  ns=ameservers in resolv.conf <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:19] <darkstar49> mrkeuner: must be something wrong with network-manager
[17:20] <zal> yes
[17:20] <BluesKaj> err nameserver
[17:20] <OverTheHillAndFa> i have put a image in /boot/grub and run update-grub. it says it finds the image. even though it does not appear when i boot
[17:21] <zal> oh, it's <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:21] <OverTheHillAndFa> i have also tried to set the image with grub customizer.. no luck
[17:21] <bastidrazor> BluesKaj: dnsmasq.conf was empty?
[17:21] <van7hu> hello
[17:21] <BluesKaj> bastidrazor, yup
[17:21] <dexterjsmith> I have a quick question.
[17:22] <aimee> hello i am seeking help for audio, it doesn't work...
[17:22] <bastidrazor> BluesKaj: then setting localhost as a nameserver isn't going to help.
[17:22] <van7hu> I see a file with attribute "-r-sr-x---", what does "S" here stand for?
[17:22] <BluesKaj> zal secondary google dns is <IP_ADDRESS>
[17:22] <bastidrazor> BluesKaj: do you want a copy of the current dnsmasq.conf i use?
[17:22] <aimee> if anyone volunteers to pm me... just do it?
[17:22] <polon> hello
[17:22] <BluesKaj> bastidrazor, ,well , do you think it'll help me
[17:23] <polon> i have prob with finch
[17:23] <polon> did it work with backtrack?
[17:23] <dexterjsmith> anyone?
[17:23] <bastidrazor> BluesKaj: i'm not sure what your initial issues were.  for faster 2nd hit webpage viewing it will greatly increase the speeds.
[17:24] <bastidrazor> polon: ask in #backtrack-linux
[17:24] <helloc> Hello, do you know any c support irc channel ? thank you

[17:41] <djxcqtion> .I uninstalled Ubuntu 11.04...I deleted it from add/remove programmes from XP .. I dont have the WIn Booter Cds as well..can anyone help?Will be grateful
[17:42] <djxcqtion> I want to delete the partiotn
[17:42] <MrKeuner> Sc0o, installed it
[17:42] <djxcqtion> parttion completely and the start screen
[17:42] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: you installed it from Wubi?
[17:42] <djxcqtion> yes
[17:42] <djxcqtion> no
[17:42] <djxcqtion> Installed it from USB..sorry
[17:42] <djxcqtion> well it was a dual boot
[17:42] <Refael> herby_trax: what is your Nick?
[17:43] <Sc0o> MrKeuner > q can do something else and give the command $ ifconfig and see if you have the inteface eth0!
[17:43] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: if you installed it from USB, then you can't remove it from add/remove programs in Windows XP, that doesn't make any sense
[17:43] <MrKeuner> Sc0o, I do have eth0, it is currently connected to the internet through ethernet
[17:43] <djxcqtion> well then it was WUBI..cause it was with Windows...I had a start screen which gave me the option of both
[17:43] <djxcqtion> I hope im gettng that rigth
[17:44] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: both wubi and dual boot give you the option during boot
[17:44] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: but wubi doesn't create a partition; once you remove it from windows all you have to do is restore the bootloader
[17:44] <Sc0o> MrKeuner > OK Go it! So ... what is happening right ?
[17:44] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: if you installed it from usb, then you had to partition space for it, and it was installed to its own place in the disk
[17:45] <qwertyuio> Hi
[17:45] <djxcqtion> tensor : Im sorry im not comibg through clearly
[17:45] <MrKeuner> Sc0o, ?
[17:45] <djxcqtion> yes tensor : i installed it through the USB..there was a partioned space given to it
[17:46] <Sc0o> MrKeuner > which was really the problem with your Dell :
[17:46] <qwertyuio> my only user on ubuntu 11.04 can't mount USB drives. :( please help!
[17:46] <alvin_> hello, why can't i download torrent with my dns/
[17:46] <MrKeuner> Sc0o, it is currently connected, but disconnects randomly
[17:46] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: then you should boot from USB, open the disk partition editor, and delete the ubuntu partition(s), then resize the windows one to fill the empty space, and then you must restore windows to the MBR
[17:46] <MrKeuner> Sc0o, I'd like to fix that ptoblem
[17:47] <Refael> hola, am curious if static or dynamic routing would cause a personal network to not be visual from outside the network
[17:47] <djxcqtion> I have already deleted Ubuntu through Add/Remove programmes..is that gonna be an issue?
[17:47] <djxcqtion> sorry im a real nOOb
[17:47] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: i have no idea what you actually removed
[17:48] <Sc0o> MrKeuner > use distro Ubuntu 10.04 ?
[17:48] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: there shouldn't be anything related to ubuntu in there
[17:48] <MrKeuner> Sc0o, correct. 10.04.2
[17:48] <qwertyuio> how can I have user to have ROOT rights as of USB management on 11.04 ???
[17:49] <tensorpudding> ugh, why doen't ubottu have factoids for restoring the windows mbr..
[17:49] <Sc0o> MrKeuner > ok! I will search here
[17:49] <aLeSD> hi all. someone could suggest me a good OCR ?
[17:49] <djxcqtion> well i unistalled Ubuntu through the Add/Remove programmes...the partitions are empty..the start screen reamins
[17:49] <Bwaah> are you using wubi?
[17:49] <djxcqtion> the main GRUB or wateva
[17:49] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: "the partitions are empty"
[17:49] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: what do you mean
[17:49] <areay> hi all.. i've configured my pulseaudio to send audio over the network to another machine which is hooked up to my speakers. no matter what media player i use i can't seek through the track, some players play the audio and it can be heard coming out of the speakers but the seeker stays stuck at 0:00 and is in most cases disabled.
[17:50] <djxcqtion> Well in Disk Mgmt
[17:50] <djxcqtion> it says the 13 GB alloted to Ubuntu before is blank
[17:50] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: oh, you deleted the partition then
[17:50] <MrKeuner> Sc0o, do you think it might help to install linux-image-<IP_ADDRESS>
[17:50] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: well, you'll want to expand the windows one to fill the empty space
[17:50] <djxcqtion> yup
[17:51] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: you can only do that from the bootable usb though
[17:51] <Sc0o> MrKeuner > yes ... !
[17:51] <djxcqtion> any  recommadations on what to do
[17:51]  * szal guesses this is outside of this channel's scope
[17:51] <djxcqtion> Can i replace it with Ubuntu 10.10
[17:51] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/nongeeks-guide-safely-uninstall-ubuntu-dualbooting-machine/
[17:51] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: you want to install a different version?
[17:52] <djxcqtion> Yup 10.10
[17:52] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: you really ought to install 10.04 then
[17:52] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: because that one will have an upgrade path
[17:52] <Sc0o> MrKeuner > .... if for example .... an bugs in the kernel or some network packets!
[17:52] <djxcqtion> it was running fine with Meerkat
[17:52] <Threadless> is there anyone here could assist with the problem during boot, when it displays "press s to skip mounting or M for manual recovery"  ?
[17:53] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: but no matter which version, your solution is just to go through the normal install process
[17:53] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: choose the empty space to be where the ubuntu partitions will be
[17:53] <tensorpudding> djxcqtion: the rest will be taken care of
[17:54] <Threadless> is there anyone here could assist with the problem during boot, when it displays "press s to skip mounting or M for manual recovery"  ?

[17:55] <Threadless> toph2: thanks, i'll have a look
[17:55] <djxcqtion> THANKS tensorpudding...That was such an informative post
[17:55] <djxcqtion> I should have read it earlier
[17:55] <djxcqtion> thanks a lot mate
[17:56] <pythonirc101> tensorpudding: I do have guest additions installed
[17:57] <pythonirc101> but no output on my headset...in vlc, i dont see my headset listed either as audio output device
[17:57] <pythonirc101> what is a good command to list all audio devices in ubuntu
[17:57] <sudokill> pythonirc101,  is it usb
[17:58] <tensorpudding> it should output to pulseaudio, you should see the configuration
[17:58] <pythonirc101> yes- usb
[17:58] <sudokill> pythonirc101,  if its usb u have to mount it in the virtualbox window
[17:58] <sudokill> because ur host uses it u have to tell vbox to use it instead
[17:59] <pythonirc101> when i try to click the usb device in vbox it says ubuntu does not recognize the usb wireless headset
[17:59] <Mathuin> It appears that eclipse does not consider ant1.8 to be ant 1.8 -- what do I have to do to convince it of this fact?

[18:00] <pythonirc101> my vbox hanged

[18:04] <freshone> steam?
[18:04] <sudokill> download illegally
[18:04] <Mathuin> Bonus of buying it on Steam: the process of running Steam on Wine is well-documented.
[18:04] <alvin_> hi, why can't i enable my bluetooth? can anybody please help me?? :(
[18:05] <pythonirc101> sudokill: I do have usb passthru enabled

[18:06] <pythonirc101> is there anything  i can do to make my wireless logitech headset work on ubuntu?
[18:06] <sudokill> pythonirc101,  no it seems a vbox problem not ubuntu
[18:06] <pythonirc101> i've always used the logitech on my windows host, never on ubuntu
[18:06] <sudokill> pythonirc101,  can i ask what the point of this is if ur running windows as well?
[18:07] <sudokill> r u new to ubuntu and find urself using it in the vm all the time?
[18:07] <MrKeuner> Sc0o, all right I'll try 2.6.35 for a while to see if that also breaks the NIC

[18:07] <alvin_> hello? please help me, i can't activate my wireless and bluetooth adapters...:(
[18:07] <sm_> hello, any idea where does Vinagre (the remote desktop viewer) saves the personal preferences settings
[18:08] <sudokill> pythonirc101,  try disabling the passthrough, and when u boot into ubuntu then manually select the headset from the vbox window
[18:08] <Mathuin> Gosh, I almost wish there was a take-a-number here for getting help. :-)
[18:08] <pythonirc101> sudokill: I know that vbox is exporting that usb port to ubuntu...how do i check what is going wrong?
[18:08] <zaurav> I just installed Natty on my laptop and tried hooking it up to my external VGA monitor. While it detects it fine, something is wrong with it as it does not display properly (there's flickering through different colors). Where can I get started to fix this issue? Thanks in advance.
[18:08] <sm_> I want to find out where does it saves the hosts/ips of the previous hosts that i've connected to
[18:08] <pythonirc101> sudokill: I tried that first...didnt work
[18:08] <Osmodivs> What happen with NATTY? I mean, in 10.04 I was not able to use my Tablet-Pen, and now, after a fresh install of 11.04, I can finally use it, without installing any drivers or tweking Xorg
[18:08] <freshone> what does wine do? how is it different from play onlinux
[18:08] <Mathuin> I'm looking for the trick required to install Eclipse with ant 1.8 -- if anyone knows, please let me know.
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> freshone:  playonlinux uses wine.. its a front end to wine
[18:09] <freshone> what does this wine/ play onlinux do?
[18:09] <zaurav> sm_: have you tried the ~/.vinagre directory (if there is one)
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> !wine
[18:09] <freshone> thanks
[18:10] <FSX> Hi, Wine doesn't see any USB devices on Ubuntu 11.04. Someone know how to fix that?
[18:10] <sudokill> pythonirc101,  hmm im really not sure, sorry :( i havent used vbox in ages but i remmeber having problems with a flash drive once that i solved by playing with the passthrough etc
[18:10] <Dr_Willis> FSX:  what kind of usb device are you refering to?
[18:10] <leao> Hi, i downloaded kernel source code sample via terminal, but which IDE do i need to view the source code ?
[18:11] <leao> im using 11.04
[18:11] <FSX> Dr_Willis: USB sticks.
[18:11] <leao> latest kernel bla bla
[18:11] <Pici> leao: You can use anything that can view text to look at the source code, you don't need an IDE
[18:11] <sm_> zaurav, there is vinagre folder in .cache and .gconf/apps  and .local/share
[18:11] <leao> but i wanna view it in eclipse
[18:11] <sm_> but doesnt look like it is there
[18:11] <FSX> Dr_Willis: I haven't tried any other devies.
[18:12] <leao> the problem is, eclipse doesnt recognise it
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> FSX:  if you mean flash drives. you can have wine apps access your normal linux mountpoints to get to the files on them.
[18:12] <leao> it just behaves as if the text is plain text
[18:12] <alvin_> hello? please help me, i can't activate my wireless and bluetooth adapters...:(
[18:12] <leao> but its mostly python, and i downloaded python plugin
[18:12] <Pici> leao: It will need to support C
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> !wireless
[18:12] <leao> ohh
[18:12] <FSX> Dr_Willis: Yes, that's what I meant. :) How to I give Wine access?
[18:13] <leao> can you provide me an eclipse plugin link for C/C++
[18:13] <leao> ?
[18:13] <leao> thanks in advance
[18:13] <Dr_Willis> FSX:  wine uses some special letter like x: or z: to be the / of your system.. so z:/media/ or somtuing like that.
[18:13] <Dr_Willis> FSX:  run the winecfg tool and set it how you like
[18:13] <leao> ok i found it Pici
[18:13] <leao> eclipse.org/cdt
[18:14] <FSX> Dr_Willis: Ok, thanks. I'll try that.
[18:15] <thegoodcushion> is it just me or are the ubuntu servers really slow for updating 11.04 right now?
[18:16] <sudokill> idk they were slow when 11.04 first came out
[18:16] <sudokill> they still are?
[18:16] <kindari> in 11.04 How the heck do you see hidden files in nautilus?
[18:16] <ziikutv> Hello, how can I change the location of the launcher?
[18:16] <thegoodcushion> sudokill: well I'm now getting 50 kbytes/second so maybe it was temporary

[18:17] <sudokill> does it not?
[18:17] <kindari> or atleast I cant figure out how to see one.
[18:17] <Mathuin> kindari: it's in the very top bar.
[18:17] <sudokill> idk i use gnome 3
[18:18] <Mathuin> Mouse up there and you'll see File Edit blah blah.
[18:18] <sudokill> kindari, ull find it
[18:18] <Mathuin> (if you're using Unity)
[18:18] <Mathuin> Might also see it if you hold down alt, but no guarantees.
[18:18] <kindari> aha alt was the key, and it was indeed hidden in the top area. thanks.
[18:18] <Mathuin> no problem!
[18:19] <Dr_Willis> global menu syhows up when you mouse up to the top

[18:19] <Dr_Willis> ziikutv:  short answer. You dont.
[18:19] <rafael> krl porra loca kkkkkkkkk
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> left side launcher panel.. is pretty much stuck to the left. Ive not seen any tweaks to move it. (yet)

[18:20] <sudokill> ubuntu patched font
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> ziikutv:  the 'ubuntu' font I think :)
[18:20] <kindari> Next question. How do I disable the search/shortcuts dropdown being opened when I press super?
[18:20] <sudokill> i use it in arch
[18:20] <kindari> Tried going to keyboard shortcuts but theres nothing in there for that.
[18:20] <ziikutv> Dr_Willis: Is it open source? If I want to use it on a website..
[18:20] <rafael> ooi
[18:20] <sudokill> it has tweaks for lcd monitors
