[09:15] <Inswins> Hi..
[09:15] <Onkeltem> Hi all
[09:15] <Inswins> I need help..
[09:15] <fidel> Inswins: start with a problem description then ;)
[09:15] <Inswins> Thank Fidel.
[09:15] <Inswins> This is my problem.
[09:19] <Inswins> I'm using ubuntu server and install it using USB Stick and I do want to make diskless server. But the problem is, when installing the server they need DHCP and iscsi Target. So, I make it default just now. Now, the main point is, how can I use the server and my client can run windows xp booting using LAN Network?
[09:21] <sacarlson> Inswins: I know how to setu pxe for linux ,  for windows pxe you might try some place else like #windows
[09:23] <Inswins> sacarlson: Okay, if I'm using PXE for linux, how about the ISO? I want my client booting from the Windows ISO that I make on the ubuntu server.
[09:24] <antonio_> any suggestions for a console epub reader?
[09:26] <Nikez> Hi - Anyone here?
[09:27] <Nikez> I need some help with installing Ubuntu..
[09:27] <antonio_> Nikez: tel
[09:27] <Nikez> I've done it countless times - However I have never encountered this problem.
[09:27] <Nikez> My setup:
[09:28] <Nikez> Disc 1 = SSD (120 GB) - Windows 7
[09:28] <Nikez> Disc 2 = HDD (500 GB) Contains files, splitted into two different partitions. One of the size 350 gb and the other one in 150 gb
[09:28] <amitz> how to install java5 in ubuntu 10.04. the method of using jaunty repository, is there any living jaunty repository now?
[09:29] <Nikez> I want to install Ubuntu to the 150 gb which is partitioned correctly (ext 4, primary)
[09:29] <Nikez> IT says the installation is correctly done - However When I reboot GRUB is nowhere to be found.
[09:30] <fidel> amitz: isnt it available in the default apt sources?
[09:30] <fidel> amitz: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/allpackages
[09:31] <sacarlson> Nikez: you must have installed your grub2 mbr on the wrong disk, you should have installed it to /dev/sda
[09:31] <Nikez> I've done that
[09:31] <Nikez> 3 times
[09:31] <Nikez> atleast.
[09:32] <Nikez> I even tried installing it on the tiny partition called Windows Loader
[09:32] <Nikez> No joy.
[09:32] <sacarlson> Nikez: oh ssd disk might be a problem maybe move your mbr to /dev/sdb then and change the boot sequence in bios
[09:33] <sacarlson> Nikez: you don't install the mbr on a partition you install it to the disk
[09:33] <Nikez> Oh ok
[09:34] <Bender_> Hello, I have a little problem with the audio. The sound is somehow noisy like metallic when using VLC to play a movie, and also when using skype. After using skype a bit it returns normal, but in VLC it always is noisy, kinda robotic. Can you help me?
[09:34] <Nikez> Shouldnt I see that theres 100m b + 119.9 GB on disc 0 ?
[09:35] <Nikez> sacarlson, How would I move the MBR?f
[09:35] <sacarlson> Bender_: if you want to get fancy you can rought your sound through filters with jackd and ladspa
[09:36] <sacarlson> Nikez: you don't move it just install it to /dev/sdb
[09:36] <Nikez> You mean through Ubuntu?
[09:36] <sacarlson> Nikez: yes live boot
[09:37] <Nikez> I'll try again - I Think I did that yesterday. Thanks.
[09:37] <sacarlson> !grub2 | nikez
[09:37] <Nikez> Be right back .
[09:37] <sacarlson> Nikez: if you already installed it to /dev/sdb then try change the boot sequence in bios
[09:38] <Bender_> sacarlson,  no I just want my audio output to work normally, now it's faulty and I can't use skype as soon as opened: I have to make several test call to make the noise disappear. Also the VLC has the same problem, other mediaplayerd doesn't.
[09:38] <amitz> fidel: it has a virtual ppackage ffor java5, but not the actual package.
[09:39] <sacarlson> Bender_: I don't know why one player would sound different than the other ,  maybe try to find the differences in them.  maybe between alsa and pulseaudio?
[09:40] <fidel> amitz: not sitting in front of a 10.04 box right now - but for me it looks like default-jre provides the virtual java5-runtime again. or am i wrong?
[09:40] <sacarlson> Bender_: some software has a choice like I think skype has you can pick what sound device it uses in options
[09:41] <Bender_> sacarlson, I'm not so good in linux, maybe you are right but don't know how to face it. Anyway I guess it's my audio card because I have this problem since 10.04 and now I''m with 12.04. I have an old SBLive!/Value card. Maybe is not so compatible with some libraries?
[09:42] <sacarlson> Bender_: I think sblive is one of the best supported sound cards
[09:43] <Bender_> sacarlson, I see...
[09:43] <sirknight> anyone know to make an unstall script?
[09:43] <sirknight> im sorry and install script
[09:43] <sacarlson> sirknight: for packages or group of packages?
[09:44] <tobis> hi there
[09:45] <sirknight> sacarlson,  http://nkush.blogspot.com/2011/08/installing-metasploit-400-on-ubuntu.html   , not sure, but im learning
[09:47] <amitz> fidel: default-jre only able to change  link to different java versions, not installing the actual java.
[09:48] <Aruzsi> Hi there,
[09:48] <sacarlson> sirknight: looks like they wrote it for you
[09:48] <Aruzsi> What can I do if I want to start mgetty from inittab under 12.04? No inittab at all.
[09:49] <llutz> Aruzsi: look at the scripts in /etc/init and maybe read this to get an idea how upstart works http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/
[09:50] <llutz> !upstart | Aruzsi
[09:50] <Aruzsi> llutz: Huhh! No any fast solution?
[09:51] <Aruzsi> llutz: I want to setup PPP connection when the system boots.
[09:53] <amitz> by any chance, annybody has a copy of sun_jdk5?
[09:57] <sirknight> sacarlson,  they did?   sorry i9 was reading Lotts
[09:57] <sacarlson> sirknight: you wanted a script,  they have it on that site for you
[09:58] <sirknight> whats that?
[09:58] <sacarlson> sirknight: just type the commands stated in his post and make it a file,  that becomes a script
[09:58] <oCean> amitz: old repositories are moved to http://old-releases.ubuntu.com For example: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/s/sun-java5/
[09:59] <sirknight> so this one i just copy and pasted as ls? or do i take the nambering out first? sacarlson
[10:00] <sirknight> gedit, is what i pasted it in too, so how do i run the file?
[10:00] <oCean> amitz: no guarantees if that will work on or maybe ruin a 10.04 install, since mixing repositories/versions is not a good idea (breaking dependencies etc)
[10:00] <hplc> can i use gconf-cleaner? or is there any risks? it says i have 225 invalid keys in database, running 11.10
[10:01] <amitz> oCean: noted about the warning, thanks!

[10:42] <sacarlson> pingufan: what's iso-8859-1 ?

[10:51] <Duality> hi
[10:51] <Compt> Hey
[10:51] <Duality> is a ssh proxy as safe as a vpn?
[10:52] <DMJC> anyone know howto forward dns without setting up a dns server?
[10:52] <afidegnum> hello, pls how do I add a new key?
[10:52] <afidegnum> I have typed this and I am told no gpg key found
[10:52] <Compt> @Duality, SSH is pretty secure. I often couple it with a VPN at my school so they can't monitor incoming traffic
[10:52] <afidegnum> 10E239FF
[10:53] <afidegnum> wait, this key
[10:53] <afidegnum> sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 10E239FF

[10:53] <afidegnum> I am trying to install zyentyal
[10:53] <joel^^^^^> Hello, given an unprivileged (non-root) user on a Ubuntu 6.06LTS box, how would I fetch/build/install a package with any dependencies, from src if necessary, into my homedir?
[10:53] <makara> DMJC, it depends on your router
[10:54] <joel^^^^^> It looks like I'd have to do a longwinded manual dance around apt-get build-deps which seems nof un at all
[10:54] <joel^^^^^> *no fun
[10:54] <Duality> Compt, ssh as vpn? nice how?
[10:54] <joel^^^^^> on OS X I would use homebrew. which'd do it in one step. any equivalent/advice/monstrous oneliners?
[10:54] <makara> DMJC, just put in the address of your router as the DNS server
[10:54] <Compt> Basically I shh into the home desktop from my laptop, then if I need to I'll enable the VPN
[10:55] <Duality> Compt, do you need anything special running on server side?
[10:56] <sirknight> when i make a instll run script  how can i put me password it there  so it an unintentted install?
[10:56] <Compt> Nothing other than the code for it to send to the client. Here is the guide I used: http://bodhizazen.net/Tutorials/VPN-Over-SSH
[10:56] <joel^^^^^> sirknight: don't do that
[10:57] <pingufan> Can nobody tell me how to switch my Ubuntu from UTF9 -> ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-15, please?
[10:58] <Duality> nice thanks Compt
[10:58] <Compt> No problem :D.

[11:55] <gau1991> pangolin:which commands have to be executed on linux...
[11:55] <epzil0n> gau1991 you can use the RDP protocoll or set up a VNC server like RealVNC and then use a VNCviewer and it's included in RealVNC
[11:57] <epzil0n> gau1991 otherwise use openSSH for Windows if it must be SSH

[12:00] <caB00T> What is the term for text files with commands in it, just "scripts"? How do I google it for details etc.?
[12:00] <FerkSwe> No, ubuntu-ppc does not seem to be the right place for my questions on ubuntu running on mac. Thus I ask again if anyone has knowledge of running Ubuntu on Mac.
[12:02] <ikonia> FerkSwe: an intel mac
[12:02] <ikonia> ?
[12:02] <FerkSwe> Indeed
[12:02] <ikonia> FerkSwe: I've ran it before, although I'm not now
[12:02] <railsraider> how can i install haproxy 1.4.20 (specific version) using apt-get ?
[12:02] <railsraider> ubnutu 10.04
[12:03] <FerkSwe> Well the problems I'm having with it is the mousepad being glitchy, I can't even rightclick, and my graphics on some games (Minecraft) aren't working properly.
[12:04] <pkh> I've swapped around between distro's (lately mint, ubuntu and xubuntu) and realised that the ubuntu variants are unique in that clicking on the taskbar icons doesn't show the app's window -- anyone know why this is? (p.s. specifically it's keepassx that I'm having to restart everytime I need to access the window...)
[12:04] <caB00T> What is the term for text files with commands in it, just "scripts"? How do I google it for details etc.?

[12:04] <wamty> how to run X's on this..
[12:05] <wamty> i have the driver sis.tar.gz
[12:06] <pkh> caB00T, I usually find that searching 'bash' gets me in the right places when talking about scripts.
[12:06] <Niyax> hi
[12:06] <pkh> caB00T, i.e. 'bash' in addition to whatever else you're looking for
[12:07] <caB00T> Ok, thank you pkh.
[12:07] <Niyax> i just got a new server with IPMI, how do i install it?
[12:07] <caB00T> Also, I am trying to apt-get something and am getting E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[12:07] <caB00T> ?
[12:07] <morri> that means you have either synaptic open
[12:07] <pkh> caB00T, sometimes the automatic updater is running in the background -- if it works next time don't worry about it.
[12:07] <morri> or the software center
[12:08] <caB00T> Yes, I had it open, lol... :)
[12:08] <morri> or any other updating process

[12:14] <Rurd2di> mi3: i know, but im happy with 11.10 for now
[12:15] <Pici> wamty: It wants to know what the path to the file containing the sqlite3 database is.

[12:19] <mi3> how can I control the speed at which apt downloads the updates? I know its possible with wget, but some suggestions would be useful.
[12:21] <bigkitty> hi all
[12:21] <bigkitty> help:)
[12:21] <wamty> Pici: I have /var/www/forum
[12:21] <wamty> Pici: how do I check if i have permission on that directory
[12:21] <mi3> how can I control the speed at which apt downloads the updates? I know its possible with wget, but some suggestions would be useful.
[12:21] <wamty> Pici: current i logged in as root but i want to give the "desktop" user write access to /var/www/forum then
[12:21] <mi3> wamty,
[12:21] <Debru> i wold like to now difference between ubuntu and ubuntu server
[12:22] <wamty> chmod 666 "folder" account right ?
[12:22] <mi3> ls -l /var/www/forum
[12:22] <mi3> ls -l /var/www should also work, wamty
[12:23] <Pici> Debru: Ubuntu server comes with no gui, and the installer lets you choose different 'tasks' to install at install time.
[12:24] <Pici> !server | Debru this may also be helpful
[12:24] <mi3> haha
[12:24] <mi3> !kernel
[12:24] <wamty> chmod 666 "folder" account right ?
[12:24] <Debru> Pici, if i install 11.04 can i upgrade it to 12.04?
[12:24] <wamty> Should I:
[12:24] <Debru> for long term support
[12:24] <wamty>  mkdir /home/www-data && chown www-data.www-data /home/www-data && chmod 0700 /home/www-data
[12:24] <wamty> ?
[12:24] <mi3> wamty, that way you will change the permissions!
[12:25] <wamty> I need to have read and write
[12:25] <Debru> Pici, for long term support or i need reinstall it..?
[12:25] <mi3> if you want to know only the permissions assigned then type ls -l wamty!
[12:26] <mi3> wamty, for read and write permissions, chmod 666
[12:26] <Pici> Debru: You can upgrade.
[12:26] <KooolaNL> hi how do i check current user accounts on my server ?
[12:26] <KooolaNL> 10.04
[12:26] <wamty> how do i list accounts?
[12:26] <Pici> KooolaNL: getent passwd
[12:27] <wamty> not ''cat /etc/passwd'' ?
[12:27] <KooolaNL> holy O_O
[12:27] <KooolaNL> how can there be so much
[12:27] <Pici> wamty: essentially does the same thing.
[12:27] <KooolaNL> i only remember creating one
[12:27] <Pici> KooolaNL: Many processes run unprivleged, so they have their own accounts.
[12:27] <KooolaNL> ow
[12:28] <KooolaNL> automaticly generated accounts ?
[12:28] <Debru> Pici, if i understand you right.. i can now install Ubuntu 11.04 and after 12.04 release i can get Long term support OS without complete reinstall..?
[12:28] <Pici> KooolaNL: Depending on what you have installed, yes.
[12:28] <KooolaNL> Pici apache
[12:28] <Pici> Debru: Well, yes. But you'd need to upgrade to 11.10 first, and then 12.04
[12:29] <Debru> Pici, why i need upgrade to 11.04 if i install 11.04?
[12:29] <giuseppe_> usa BuDuScRiPt [ http://digilander.libero.it/udasoft/Software/Linux/buduscript ]

[12:30] <Pici> giuseppe_: Please don't do that here.

[12:32] <techkid6> Please Help
[12:32] <afidegnum> debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialog
[12:32] <afidegnum> debconf: (No usable dialog-like program is installed, so the dialog based frontend cannot be used. at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm line 75.)
[12:33] <Myrtti> afidegnum: have you tried reinstalling debconf?
[12:33] <OerHeks> techkid6, you set password as none? why and how did you do that?
[12:33] <techkid6> through the GUI in user accounts
[12:34] <afidegnum> using apt-get install?

[12:35] <Debru> day, yes it will use all ram but what are main differences? i have heard that some programm may not work..
[12:36] <day> i use 64bit ubuntu and it works well
[12:36] <Xtreme> hello guys
[12:36] <jpds> Debru: That statement was true years ago.
[12:36] <Xtreme> which virtual machine software would u suggest for me?
[12:37] <techkid6> To be specific, I was installing quickly
[12:37] <jpds> Debru: Not we have multi-arch, so you can run 32-bit apps in 64-bit Ubuntu.
[12:37] <Debru> jpds, ty so i will chose 64..
[12:37] <Xtreme> sacarlson: hi
[12:38] <saurabh_123> hello, how  can we install xfapplet in xubuntu. its not present in synaptic
[12:38] <Atlantic777> Debru: there's something called PAE which enables you to use 4 GiB and more even on 32 bit OS.
[12:38] <Debru> jpds, How about long term support if i install 11.04 can i update it to 12.04?
[12:38] <jpds> Debru: No.
[12:38] <Atlantic777> Debru: nope, but 11.10 -> 12.04 yes
[12:38] <jpds> Debru: If you go 11.04, you have to upgrade to 11.10 then 12.04.
[12:39] <Xtreme> wow, room is dead
[12:39] <Debru> Atlantic777, jpds: so after 12.04 it will be long term supported?
[12:40] <jpds> Debru: Yes.
[12:40] <Atlantic777> Debru: yes, there will be 5 years of support for 12.04

[12:43] <Atlantic777> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS

[12:45] <xskydevilx> Is anyone having these weird flash issues in Natty?
[12:45] <xskydevilx> Mine colours got messed up.
[12:45] <Atlantic777> xskydevilx: is it just on youtube?
[12:45] <Atlantic777> xskydevilx: nvidia card?
[12:45] <csenger41> xskydevilx: you mean flash player?
[12:45] <xskydevilx> Nvidia card, just YouTube.
[12:46] <mtrd`w> blue ?
[12:46] <Atlantic777> xskydevilx: you probably have to turn off hw acceleration for yt video player.
[12:46] <panset> Hi, I need to access my virtualbox guest ubuntu throught network. So I am using bridge mode, but still not able to access it. I followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox/Networking and it said to just select bridge mode option for  vbox 2.1 and later. I am on ubuntu 11.10
[12:46] <Debru> Atlantic777, where get beta
[12:46] <Atlantic777> Debru: ask on #ubntu+1
[12:46] <MarKsaitis> can somebody tell me about backporting? I have ubuntu 11.04 and I want to install some packages from 12.04. Is that easy? Dangerous? Buggy?
[12:46] <Atlantic777> MarKsaitis: you can make a mess
[12:47] <Atlantic777> panset: are your guest machine able to go out on the web?
[12:47] <MarKsaitis> so what is the point Atlantic777 ? I dont understand the concept of that
[12:47] <xskydevilx> Atlantic777: Is it just me that can't change the settings? Like clicking on the settings does nothing.
[12:47] <Atlantic777> panset: can you ping host <-> guest?
[12:47] <Atlantic777> xskydevilx: don't know, I don't have nvidia card. Sorry. :)
[12:47] <panset> Atlantic777: No not when using bridge mode, but can access web when using NAT
[12:48] <nlko> how can i find files that contains both strings "1234" and "acbd", not on the same line
[12:48] <nlko> does grep have a AND feature
[12:48] <Atlantic777> panset: huh, in bridge mode you should get an IP from the router. Something's broken.
[12:48] <Atlantic777> nlko: maybe better to try with awk
[12:48] <nlko> Atlantic777: have an example?
[12:49] <Atlantic777> nlko: no, i just use grep and ask for help when need awk :)
[12:49] <nlko> ha, ok, thanks
[12:49] <panset> Atlantic777: How would I get an IP from router. Should I use dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces
[12:49] <xskydevilx> For everyone: Does your Flash player "lock" when you try to choose Settings?
[12:50] <Atlantic777> panset: in the bridge mode you are virtually attached directly to the router as the host machine is too.
[12:50] <xskydevilx> Or is it maybe that I have to update the plugin? I've got <IP_ADDRESS>.
[12:50] <Atlantic777> panset: don't know. Try with ifconfig to see wich ifaces you've got and then dhclient or dhcpcd.
[12:50] <Teduardo> does anyone know if 12.04 will work with ivy bridge or if it will still do crazy stuff like shut down PCI when you unplug the monitor cable?
[12:50] <Pici> Teduardo : Precise/12.04 is not yet released. Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion.
[12:51] <panset> Atlantic777: Ok, in the virtualbox GUI network dialog, I can only choose wlan0 from drop down interface list. And when I do ifconfig on ubuntu host I see eth0 and lo only
[12:56] <joel^^^^^> thanks for the Warnocking, #ubuntu
[12:58] <tdn> Is aptitude depricated, and if so, why?
[12:59] <l3d> was wondering if there is a plugin to get to play avi files?
[12:59] <jrib> tdn: not that I'm aware of.  Why do you think so?
[13:00] <tdn> jrib, just because I have noticed that it is no longer included in a default isntall. Neither in Ubuntu Desktop nor Ubuntu Server.
[13:01] <dibblego> is there anything that will allow me to draw on the desktop with the mouse?
[13:01] <robertzaccour> Is it possible to turn debian into ubuntu with settings changes?
[13:01] <jrib> robertzaccour: no, not supported
[13:02] <panset> HTOP
[13:02] <jrib> tdn: it's been omitted for a few releases now
[13:02] <tdn> jrib, yeah, why is that?
[13:02] <jrib> tdn: space is precious on the cd and aptitude duplicates apt-get functionality I guess
[13:02] <tdn> dibblego, yes, in Kubuntu there is a desktop effect for that.
[13:03] <tdn> jrib, ok.
[13:03] <dibblego> tdn: in ubuntu?
[13:03] <tdn> dibblego, no, in Kubuntu. (KDE)
[13:03] <dibblego> ok bummer
[13:03] <tdn> dibblego, you can apt-get install kubuntu-desktop in Ubuntu to get the same functionality.
[13:03] <sw> tdn: it's been removed since 10.10 - it was taking up 13-14 MB as jrib said
[13:03] <Atlantic777> dibblego: or you can search further and find the same for ubuntu
[13:04] <dibblego> Atlantic777: I cannot google up anything
[13:04] <tdn> Has there been set a deadline for the 12.04 release yet?
[13:04] <Atlantic777> tdn: 26th
[13:04] <tdn> Atlantic777, cool. Thanks.
[13:04] <Atlantic777> !precise
[13:06] <ssd> scotty79
[13:06] <Atlantic777> dibblego: there's a compiz plugin for that, annotate
[13:08] <lollie_lol> Salut
[13:08] <dibblego> Atlantic777: compiz won't work with my window manager (xmonad) but thanks
[13:08] <Atlantic777> dibblego: ahm, sorry, I thought you were using the defaults, unity :D
[13:11] <xskydevilx> Here's another Flash issue: does anyone have a problem with the flash player not loading sometimes on YouTube?
[13:12] <xskydevilx> As in just displaying a black screen.
[13:12] <lovinglinux> xskydevilx:  Do you have nVidia card?
[13:13] <caB00T> Is xPDF normally slow when scrolling? Can I fix that? When paging up and down it works instantly?
[13:13] <afidegnum> hello, pls what could be the cause of this and how do I fix it ?
[13:13] <afidegnum> debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Dialogdebconf: (No usable dialog-like program is installed, so the dialog based frontend cannot be used. at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm line 75.)

[13:13] <xskydevilx> lovinglinux: Yep.
[13:13] <afidegnum> I need help psl
[13:14] <nielou> Anyone tried ChiniPad tablets and in particular U9HD one ?
[13:14] <nielou> Can't google anything but commercials on it !
[13:15] <lovinglinux> xskydevilx:  are you using flash <IP_ADDRESS> with hardware acceleration disabled?]
[13:15] <Atlantic777> afidegnum: I've told you at least two times, try: sudo apt-get install dialog
[13:15] <xskydevilx> lovinglinux: Yes. As a matter of fact, I just disabled the acceleration.
[13:16] <OerHeks> nielou do you own one? else it is not on the market yet.
[13:16] <afidegnum> Atlantic777: ok sorry, I didn't get that one, my internet wasn't stable thanks

[13:17] <sw> !rootirc | Xtreme
[13:18] <xskydevilx> lovinglinux: Am I supposed to change something?
[13:18] <lovinglinux> xskydevilx:  teh problem you described was after disabling the acceleration? Have you tried to clear the cookies and cache? This can solve YT issues sometimes. Also try https://www.youtube.com/ instead of http://
[13:18] <nielou> OerHeks : yes It is on several china web sites ! (chinastore, ownta, ...).
[13:18] <ian_mac> I started a dist upgrade on my laptop at home.  I am now at work.  Is there any way to view the progress of that upgrade?

[13:18] <sw> ian_mac: do you have access to your computer at home?
[13:19] <OerHeks> nielou, it is not out, so not really an ubuntu-support-question, tight?
[13:19] <intore> hi, i installed wicd and this morning was ok. now, trying the connection, sometimes it tells me "Bad password", sometimes the connection goes down. do you know about this problem?
[13:19] <barf> Which packages do I need to installl to unity?
[13:19] <Atlantic777> ian_mac: do you have sshd on your desktop?
[13:19] <OerHeks> *right
[13:19] <Atlantic777> ian_mac: you could try installing vnc server there and check it.
[13:19] <xskydevilx> lovinglinux: Haven't yet. I will and I'll be back after testing it out.
[13:19] <Xtreme> whois Xtreme
[13:19] <sw> barf: '$ sudo apt-get install unity'
[13:19] <doctordiii> pessoal to com um problema na ultima versao do emesene. Não consigo mudar a foto nele. Alguem teve esse mesmo problema?
[13:19] <ian_mac> yes I can shell in.  I'll look into vnc server.  I don't recall if I installed it before or not.
[13:19] <Atlantic777> sw, barf isn't it ubuntu-desktop?
[13:19] <barf> sw and it will also install a full desktop?
[13:20] <sw> !info unity | Atlantic777
[13:20] <sw> barf: yes
[13:20] <loganrun> my sound card suddenly stopped working, I dual booted into windows and it works fine there. is there a way to reinstall the drivers or something?
[13:21] <Atlantic777> I still think that he's looking for ubuntu-desktop package.
[13:21] <nielou> OerHeks : no, though asking many people can increase number of answers...
[13:21] <sw> Atlantic777: no, ubuntu-desktop is just a meta package ...
[13:21] <sw> !ubuntu-desktop | Atlantic777
[13:21] <jamjam> how do you limit cpu usage per user?
[13:21] <Atlantic777> sw: yes and she installed from mini image and want a desktop, right? :D Nevermind. ;)
[13:21] <loganrun> jamjam: ha I was looking for a way to do that a while ago
[13:21] <sw> Atlantic777: either
[13:21] <nielou> OerHeks : What do you mean by " not out".
[13:22] <jamjam> @loganrum do you know any workaround for this?
[13:22] <geekbri> jamjam: try looking into /etc/security/limits.conf
[13:22] <geekbri> jamjam: I suggest dropping your changes into the limits.d directory
[13:22] <Atlantic777> loganrun: pastebin somewhere the output of: aplay -l
[13:23] <OerHeks> nielou, dou you own one?
[13:23] <nielou> no, hesitating...
[13:23] <geekbri> jamjam: additionally give "man limits.conf" a read through
[13:24] <intore> hi, i installed wicd and this morning was ok. now, trying the connection, sometimes it tells me "Bad password", sometimes the connection goes down. do you know about this problem? have you never seen a similar behavior?
[13:24] <loganrun> http://pastebin.com/KjXkyxzb
[13:24] <jamjam> @geekbri I'll check that out, thanks!
[13:24] <geekbri> jamjam: np.
[13:24] <doctordiii> pessoal to com um problema na ultima versao do emesene. Não consigo mudar a foto nele. Alguem teve esse mesmo problema?
[13:24] <loganrun> Atlantic777, http://pastebin.com/KjXkyxzb
[13:25] <nielou> Onta i40 Deluxe may be my alternate choice (found videos on it!)
[13:25] <Atlantic777> intore: I've seen similar problem yesterday, the solution was that wlan card wasn't compatible with g and n standards, just with 802.11b. You could try.
[13:25] <Atlantic777> loganrun: can you open alsamixer?
[13:26] <loganrun> Atlantic777, yes
[13:26] <intore> Atlantic777: fantastic! where and what do i have to change?
[13:26] <matmats> hello
[13:27] <th1ta> hello
[13:27] <nielou> OerHeks : I can't figure out why nothing talk about ChiniPad brand. Maybe it sucks...
[13:27] <bazhang> nielou, what is your ubuntu support issue
[13:27] <Atlantic777> intore: on the wifi access point / router in the settings for the WiFi network change the standard. Btw, I think that we changed the channel, too.
[13:27] <matmats> i'm having trouble mounting an ext3 partition. my fstab entry is: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/big ext3 defaults 0 2
[13:28] <loganrun> Atlantic777, I am seeing this in my dmesg: http://pastebin.com/mSQfFMz4
[13:28] <intore> Atlantic777: am using this network interface for a long time! this is the firs time, maybe is wicd?
[13:28] <Atlantic777> loganrun: that's not sound problem, right? :D
[13:28] <matmats> the error message is pretty vague
[13:29] <loganrun> Atlantic777, unless it is related to corrupting some sound card related file
[13:29] <nielou> bazhang: Do you have some chinese people here ?
[13:29] <bazhang> !cn | nielou they are here
[13:29] <Atlantic777> intore: sorry, then I don't have any other ideas. But it's interesting, I really had similar problem yesterday. :D
[13:30] <Xtreme> linux is fun, isnt it
[13:30] <BlueWolf> Hi all, what program can I use to open a .mpq file?
[13:30] <Xtreme> there are so many things u can do..
[13:30] <Xtreme> i am glad i left windows for good
[13:30] <matmats> Xtreme: no, its not
[13:30] <intore> Atlantic777: i'll uninstall wicd!
[13:30] <Xtreme> matmats: why?
[13:30] <bazhang> Xtreme, lets keep chat to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[13:31] <BlueWolf> Hi all, what program can I use to open a .mpq file?
[13:31] <BlueWolf> Or extract it
[13:31] <matmats> linux is like heart surgery
[13:31] <loganrun> Atlantic777, found the issue, somehow the audio controller had switched from Analog to HDMI
[13:31] <sw> !mpg | BlueWolf
[13:31] <bazhang> !repeat | BlueWolf
[13:31] <loganrun> Atlantic777, some package upgrade must have done this
[13:31] <nielou> ubottu: Humm in UTF-8 caracters, I'm afraid I haven't chinese support neither do I understand tthem anywhere...
[13:32] <nielou> lol
[13:32] <bazhang> nielou, whats your ubuntu support issue
[13:32] <matmats> the chars show up correctly here, and they make sense, mostly
[13:32] <loganrun> does anyone know how to fix this  dmesg: http://pastebin.com/mSQfFMz4 issue
[13:32] <nielou> bazgang: are you a bot ?
[13:32] <nielou> bazhang: are you a bot ?
[13:32] <bazhang> nielou, this is not the chat channel
[13:32] <Xtreme> guys, which is the command to add and remove program from startup?
[13:33] <Xtreme> cngconfig something
[13:33] <nielou> bazhang: ...
[13:33] <BlueWolf> THanks!!!!
[13:33] <matmats> so nobody can help me with fstab here?
[13:33] <sw> !startup | Xtreme
[13:33] <bazhang> nielou, chit chat in #ubuntu-offtopic NOT here
[13:34] <nielou> bazhang: Ok, thx.
[13:34] <sw> matmats: I'm sure someone will answer your question if you're patient and that person is around :-)
[13:34] <bastidrazor> matmats: what error are yougetting?
[13:34] <Jameson> well i have question too.
[13:34] <sw> Jameson: ask ...
[13:35] <matmats> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, ...
[13:35] <Jameson> it`s normal that xubuntu live cd asks user name and password?
[13:35] <geekbri> matmats: your entry looks correct, is the device formatted as ext3?
[13:35] <sw> Jameson: leave them blank
[13:35] <matmats> yeah
[13:36] <matmats> its a 2tb partition
[13:36] <loganrun> does anyone know if this is something I need to worry about?  dmesg: http://pastebin.com/mSQfFMz4
[13:36] <Xtreme> i want to stop mysqld from starting automatically from comp reboots
[13:36] <matmats> the error also says missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[13:36] <sw> Xtreme: did you read the information that ubottu sent to you?
[13:36] <geekbri> matmats: what does this output: files -s /dev/sdb1
[13:37] <Jameson> sw it doesn`t log in . shows black sceen and came back to login
[13:37] <Xtreme> sw: sorry, i dint.. wait let me look..
[13:37] <loganrun> Xtreme, sudo chconfig mysqld off
[13:37] <matmats> i dont have that files program installed apparently
[13:37] <loganrun> Xtreme, of course if other programs rely on it that may not be a good idea
[13:38] <geekbri> matmats: whoops, file not files
[13:38] <sw> Jameson: that's odd - it's normal that you see the login screen, but odd that a blank username and password doesn't let you in. try #xubuntu
[13:38] <iceroot> what is the key for a encrypted /home? my user-password or what do i need when i want to mount home on another system
[13:38] <matmats> /dev/sdb1: ERROR: cannot read `/dev/sdb1' (Input/output error)
[13:38] <Jameson> sw ok, tnq
[13:39] <geekbri> matmats: ok well, that should work even on an unmounted drive so I suspect that the issue with your drive mounting has nothing to do with your fstab entry
[13:39] <Xtreme> loganrun: command not fount
[13:39] <Xtreme> sw: not there in list
[13:40] <matmats> i hope what you just said is not as bad as it sounds
[13:40] <geekbri> matmats: it might be bad, it might not be so bad.
[13:40] <matmats> any other ideas what i could do now?
[13:40] <geekbri> matmats: sorry, did you make sure to run the command with sudo?  Try it with sudo and see if you get the same output
[13:40] <loganrun> Xtreme, chkconfig sorry
[13:40] <matmats> yeah
[13:41] <matmats> was su
[13:41] <geekbri> does fdisk -l show the drive?
[13:41] <sw> iceroot: '$ encryptfs-mount-private', it take's the users' login password
[13:41] <iceroot> sw: thank you
[13:41] <Riba11223> Where can I get info about "*/=>@|" indicators (from ls -F)?
[13:41] <loganrun> Xtreme, chkconfig mysql on
[13:41] <loganrun> Xtreme, chkconfig mysql off
[13:41] <Pici> loganrun: Ubuntu doesn't use chkconfig.
[13:42] <matmats> oddly its not shown, but i know i saw it in fdisk yesterday
[13:42] <loganrun> Pici, you just need to install the command then
[13:42] <loganrun> Pici, what is the Ubuntu way of doing it
[13:42] <geekbri> matmats: well for some reason your OS cannot see the drive,  I would start with very basic steps... make sure all the cables are plugged in fully
[13:42] <Pici> loganrun: Using upstart.  chkconfig is a redhatism.
[13:42] <geekbri> matmats: then after you've ensured its connected ok, i would try to work from that.
[13:43] <matmats> okay, will do, thanks so far
[13:43] <geekbri> np.
[13:44] <Atlantic777> Riba11223: man ls ?
[13:44] <kubanc> Hellow! Is LOGITECH LOGITECH PERFORMANCE MOUSE MX, CORDLESS, USB supported in ubuntu ?
[13:44] <bazhang> kubanc, tried plugging it in?
[13:45] <geekbri> matmats: on a side note, often a good way to find out what to make an fstab entry is to mount the device manually then do cat /etc/mtab and it will show you the current settings.  Often you can just copy paste that into fstab
[13:46] <Salaria> Hi all. When i'm trying to join #mysql channel., its showing "You are Banned" message... how come?
[13:46] <kubanc> bazhang, well would like to buy it, that's why i'm asking
[13:46] <saurabh_123> hey guys, which word application is better? abiword or libreoffice writer?
[13:46] <Xtreme> loganrun: i got lots of errors
[13:46] <bazhang> !ot | Salaria try in #freenode
[13:46] <Atlantic777> Riba11223: this would be usefull, too: $ info coreutils 'ls invocation'
[13:46] <Xtreme> but task failed
[13:46] <sw> !rootirc | Salaria
[13:46] <sw> Salaria: that's why ^
[13:46] <loganrun> Xtreme: Pici is saying it is better to use upstart
[13:47] <loganrun> Pici, can you explain to Xtreme how to use upstart
[13:47] <Salaria> oh
[13:47] <bazhang> kubanc, should be  check the hcl and ubuntuforums with that as a search term
[13:47] <Riba11223> info coreurils 'ls invocation' helps.
[13:47] <Riba11223> Thanks :)
[13:47] <Salaria> Why should not I use IRC as root?
[13:47] <bazhang> !hcl | kubanc
[13:47] <geekbri> Salaria: Why would you IRC as root?  the software certainly doesn't need the elevated privileges.  You are just giving people an opportunity to do something bad to your computer.
[13:48] <sw> Salaria: for the reasons listed in what ubottu told you - please ask any further questions in #freenode as this is Ubuntu support, like bazhang said
[13:48] <Xtreme> loganrun: okay, upstart is installed in my OS, but i dont know where it is. for some reason my search isnt working
[13:48] <matmats> it is shown now in fdisk -l
[13:48] <Salaria> k k thanks
[13:48] <geekbri> matmats: did you change anything?
[13:48] <matmats> no
[13:48] <matmats> i rebooted
[13:49] <geekbri> Hrm, odd.
[13:49] <imranh> Hey all. I want to install ubuntu on a windows tablet (Acer W500) but I want to dual-boot... But how can I use touchscreen in GRUB? I can use a keyboard to install but once done I want to be able to use GRUB with just the touchscreen... is it possible?
[13:49] <matmats> i think might have to do with sleep mode or sth
[13:49] <matmats> no idea
[13:49] <matmats> but it is there now
[13:49] <geekbri> matmats: sleep mode is always a total pain.
[13:49] <geekbri> at least in my experience.
[13:49] <matmats> yeah..
[13:49] <matmats> i agree
[13:49] <geekbri> I would try to sleep it again and see if the same thing happens.
[13:50] <Xtreme> how to search for file in ubuntu??
[13:50] <matmats> well, i still cant mount it
[13:50] <Xtreme> i am using kde
[13:50] <alex838> http://www.amazon.com/The-Iron-Legged-Party-ebook/dp/B007SZURCG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334151741&sr=8-1 I recommend the Iron Legged Party
[13:50] <alex838> really got into it
[13:50] <alex838> a fun 3000 page romp for anyone interested
[13:50] <matmats> mat@bb:~$ sudo file -s /dev/sdb1
[13:50] <matmats> /dev/sdb1: data
[13:50] <bazhang> alex838, wrong channel
[13:51] <geekbri> matmats: surprised that files -s isn't giving more information than that.
[13:51] <matmats> my bad
[13:51] <matmats> wrong path apparently
[13:51] <matmats> mat@bb:~$ sudo file -s /dev/sdb2
[13:51] <matmats> /dev/sdb2: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, UUID=8ddc8220-ec41-4806-8311-aafdf11c961f (needs journal recovery) (extents) (large files) (huge files)
[13:52] <matmats> still
[13:52] <geekbri> matmats: that looks correct to me.
[13:52] <matmats> cant mount sdb2 either
[13:52] <geekbri> this is what my working drive looks like: /dev/sda1: Linux rev 1.0 ext4 filesystem data, UUID=5bea4a0d-77b0-44f7-b2e4-8064b21096f3, volume name "cloudimg-rootfs" (needs journal recovery) (extents) (large files) (huge files)
[13:52] <matmats> oh, screw me
[13:52] <matmats> maybe its ext4
[13:53] <geekbri> matmats: looking at your entry it is, it says right there :)
[13:53] <Boreeas> A group of files in a folder are constantly getting replaced - Every 0.5 seconds or so, they get replaced by an empty file, and then put back into their original state.
[13:53] <Boreeas> Any idea why that is, and how to fix it?
[13:53] <matmats> haha yeah
[13:53] <matmats> that was dumb
[13:53] <imranh> Anyone... can GRUB be used with touchscreen on a tablet somehow
[13:54] <joseph_> hi, what is the latest version of wine and how do I install it? I'm using ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[13:54] <bazhang> joseph_, check the #winehq repo ask there
[13:55] <neooo> anyone using 12.04?
[13:55] <neooo> beta
[13:56] <wylde> !precise | neooo
[13:56] <caB00T> What do I type in terminal to update my os?
[13:57] <geekbri> caB00T: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade.  Make sure to carefully read what is being updated before you agree to it by hitting y
[13:57] <caB00T> Thank you geekbri! :)
[13:58] <geekbri> np
[13:58] <imranh> Anyone here know if/how I can use a touchscreen to control GRUB?
[13:59] <khaos_> hi is there any way to get security updates for 10.10?
[13:59] <mistergibson> is there any easy way to ask the os what the per-process theoretical memory limit is (factoring in PAE, bit-width, etc)?
[13:59] <khaos_> or we can't use it
[14:00] <wylde> !eol | khaos_
[14:00] <anathema__> I know that the 10.10 has stopped
[14:00] <anathema__> but I want to use it
[14:00] <barf> How can I install novacut?
[14:01] <geekbri> mistergibson: ulimit -m ?
[14:01] <bazhang> barf, whats novacut
[14:02] <geekbri> mistergibson: I mean if you haven't set a limit, isn't the theoretical max however much available ram there is?
[14:02] <barf> bazhang: Ubuntu’s "Final Cut Pro"
[14:02] <imranh> How can ubuntu be free, it's so awesome...
[14:02] <barf> http://blog.novacut.com/
[14:02] <mistergibson> geekbri: no, 32bit (no pae) 2GB, w/pae: 3.12GB, 64bit ...
[14:03] <bazhang> barf, that link has the PPA page on it
[14:03] <paklang> anyone facing problem with the launcher
[14:03] <Boreeas> A group of files in a folder are constantly getting replaced - Every 0.5 seconds or so, they get replaced by an empty file, and then reverted into their original state.
[14:03] <Boreeas> Any idea why that is, and how to fix it?
[14:03] <paklang> no
[14:03] <geekbri> mistergibson: so you are asking a way to find out if a 32 bit system is using pae or not ?
[14:04] <bazhang> !details | paklang
[14:04] <mistergibson> and or 64 bit, and if so (without me having to calc the implications) spew me a valid limit number ...
[14:04] <anathema__> I have the 10.10 running on my netbook and I dont know if the 11.10 or the 12.04 will be running smoothly
[14:04] <anathema__> Any advice?
[14:05] <bazhang> anathema__, try a live cd/live usb
[14:05] <anathema__> thanks bazhang. the 11.10 is suitable for netbooks?
[14:05] <bazhang> anathema__, very much so
[14:05] <geekbri> mistergibson: well uname -m should let you know if its 64 bit or not I suppose.
[14:05] <anathema__> bazhang, thanks I thought that unity etc was heavy for them
[14:06] <geekbri> mistergibson: better yet, you can check out /proc/cpuinfo
[14:06] <mistergibson> geekbri: yes, I know how to see if it is 64 bit or not, but it really isn't that simple
[14:06] <Redi> Thank to Unity Ubuntu is now useable everywhere ;)
[14:06] <mistergibson> geekbri: that only profiles the cpu, not the kernel's mode of use of its features
[14:06] <mistergibson> geekbri: I have resorted to culling the data from the kernel's config file
[14:07] <mistergibson> geekbri: it really seems silly that I have to do all that to get a straight answer
[14:07] <geekbri> mistergibson: its a bit of a pain yes.  I believe most kernels are tagged with -pae if they have it enabled.
[14:08] <mistergibson> geekbri: yeah, I just think it a bit sloppy design-wise NOT to pass those critical bits of info up the chain where it can be calculated against easily.
[14:09] <mistergibson> geekbri: you know how many f'n places the kernel .config file *could* be located across all the distros ... urk-some
[14:09] <geekbri> mistergibson: its certainly not ideal.  Those are the one ways I really know how to check for it unfortunately.  If a process can be PAE enabled, and if its compiled into the kernel, as you said, are two different things to figure out.
[14:09] <lee> hello all. quick question - I have an ubuntu 8.04 machine that's a bit broken at the moment, I don't want mail to continue to be delivered to it. how do I temporarily prevent postfix from loading on boot?
[14:10] <mistergibson> geekbri: well, the app should not really care PAE or not - except in its theoretical memory footprint size
[14:11] <mneptok> mistergibson: uname -r will tell you if RAE is enabled in the kernel
[14:11] <geekbri> lee: I like to use sysv-rc-conf (which you'd have to install), or you could use update-rc.d to do something like updated-rc.d -f postfix remove (although then you'd have to add it again when you want it back)
[14:12] <mneptok> *PAE
[14:14] <GirlyGirl> mneptok: What is RAE ?
[14:14] <GirlyGirl> nevermind
[14:15] <lee> geekbri: thanks
[14:15] <mistergibson> mneptok: on some distros yes ... not all
[14:15] <mneptok> mistergibson: it will on Ubuntu
[14:16] <mistergibson> mneptok: right, but I'm writing for nearly *all* distros
[14:16] <geekbri> sounds like youre gonna have a big case statement on your hands :)
[14:16] <mneptok> mistergibson: very few distros do eberything the exact same way.
[14:16] <mneptok> mistergibson: IOW, "write us an article that describes how to accomplish task X, and make sure each distro does it the same way," is a fool's errand.
[14:16] <op1um56> hey does anyone know how i can join the java chat
[14:17] <op1um56> joi #java
[14:17] <geekbri> op1um56: try /join ##java
[14:17] <op1um56> thank you
[14:18] <Zaitzev> I just installed vbox 4.1.2 on ubuntu, started the program and went through the steps for creating a Windows 7 virtual machine, but I get an error;
[14:18] <Pici> !register | op1um56
[14:18] <Zaitzev> "Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_SUPLIB_OWNER_NOT_ROOT)."
[14:18] <crivera> anyone here use screen?  tool for oepning up new terminals, etc.
[14:18] <Zaitzev> crivera: yes
[14:19] <mneptok> crivera: i'm using it now
[14:19] <crivera> anywho, they have syntax in their manual "C-a" which is carrot notaiton
[14:19] <Zaitzev> me too
[14:19] <bazhang> crivera, whats the question
[14:19] <crivera> what does that even mean?
[14:19] <Zaitzev> Ctrl+A
[14:19] <crivera> i'm trying to switch between my terminals
[14:19] <tapas> i wonder why the bash completion on my server running ubuntu suddenly started warning about missing locales..
[14:19] <tapas>  warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (de_DE.utf-8)
[14:19] <mneptok> crivera: "caret" ;)
[14:19] <crivera> i thought that meant CTRL-a
[14:19] <geekbri> tapas: ugh, i've had that happen before.
[14:19] <crivera> oh, CTRL+SHIFT+A
[14:19] <Zaitzev> carrot! :D
[14:20] <crivera> let me try
[14:20] <geekbri> tapas: for me I had to go in and edit /etc/default/locale to have LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
[14:20] <barf> apt-get install ubuntu-desktop gave me: errors were encountered when processing whoopsie
[14:20] <Zaitzev> has anyone here successfully installed and used VirtualBox?
[14:20] <crivera> me
[14:20] <tapas> geekbri: thanks.. will try..
[14:20] <Zaitzev> My attempt is failing :C
[14:20] <geekbri> tapas: make sure to logout and back in after
[14:20] <tapas> geekbri: first thing i'll do is install the language pack though..
[14:20] <crivera> Zaitzev: i did it successfully on windows
[14:20] <crivera> running ubuntu server guest
[14:20] <tapas> geekbri: ok
[14:21] <Zaitzev> well doh, on WINDOWS it's easy as pie
[14:21] <geekbri> tapas: my current (working) locale is set to LANG="en_US.UTF-8" but when I had the same issue that you had i had to change it to LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
[14:22] <geekbri> tapas: which was on an ubuntu 10.04 server (we are now running 10.10)
[14:22] <geirha> Zaitzev: Make sure your user is in the vboxusers group, then log out and back in
[14:23] <sw> barf: can you paste bin the full output of '$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'?
[14:23] <Zaitzev> geirha: Oh, I need to relog
[14:24] <geirha> Zaitzev: Yes, for the group membership to take effect
[14:24] <Zaitzev> geirha: I already added my user to the group, but haven't logged out and back in. Maybe that's all I need then. Didn't know :)
[14:24] <Zaitzev> I'll try, thanks
[14:25] <digitalcake> is there a way to delay the launch bar for unity? trying to use my back button in my browser I almost alway get interrupted by the bar popping out.

[14:32] <lrpcuba> hello everyone
[14:32] <TobsCore> lrpcuba hey
[14:33] <lrpcuba> i have a trouble here with my printer ,
[14:33] <bazhang> lrpcuba, what does linuxprinting.org database say about that printer
[14:33] <lrpcuba> Canon iR1018/1022/1023 (UFRII LT)
[14:34] <bazhang> lrpcuba, check the website and see
[14:35] <lrpcuba> im on it
[14:36] <Zaitzev> geirha: Didn't actually work, looks like I need to change the permission of some directory/file, but I have no idea which
[14:36] <Mion> canon is hell on gnu/linux
[14:36] <Boreeas> A group of files in a folder are constantly getting replaced - Every 0.5 seconds or so, they get replaced by an empty file, and then reverted into their original state. Can somebody help me to fix it?
[14:36] <Mion> you might want to buy the 3.rd party drivers if they supports it
[14:39] <Guest12359> "The default music player has been switched to Rhythmbox, which again includes the UbuntuOne music store."
[14:39] <Guest12359> ^ is there a story behind that?
[14:40] <geirha> Zaitzev: What's the error message?
[14:40]  * lrpcuba not found
[14:40] <Zaitzev> geirha: "Failed to load VMMR0.r0 (VERR_SUPLIB_OWNER_NOT_ROOT)."
[14:40] <jack_^> do you have lrpcuba installed?
[14:40] <lrpcuba> yes i have the printer installed but he just dont print anything at all
[14:41] <Zaitzev> geirha: that tells me SOME location needs to have permissions/ownership set to root, but /usr/share/virtualbox already is set to it.. I don't know where else to look
[14:41] <lrpcuba> sounds like the driver i have is not the right one
[14:42] <Zaitzev> geirha: I don't know if it is relevant, but /usr/share itself is not set to root, it's set to "501" whatever the heck that means.
[14:42] <geirha> Zaitzev: that's definitely wrong. It should be owned by root
[14:43] <Zaitzev> Yeah I assumed as much
[14:43] <Zaitzev> same goes for /usr - also set to 501..
[14:44] <ye> hello  when i edit an html file such as ~/desktop/myfile.htm within gvim. The i'd like to view it in firefox, so i type the command like ":firefox ~/desktop/myfile.htm ". i'm wondering if there is an easier way to present the current eding file?
[14:44] <ye> :! firefox ~/desktop/myfile.htm
[14:44] <Boreeas> I can't even delete the files manually, either in nautilus or from the commandline.
[14:44] <Pici> ye: #vim would probably be the best place to ask such a question.
[14:44] <Boreeas> And if I try to remove the whole folder, I get the following error
[14:45] <Boreeas> malte@laptop:~/Projects/VoteBot$ rm -r conf/
[14:45] <Boreeas> rm: cannot remove `conf': Directory not empty
[14:45] <gsr> do I need to do something special with chown to let me change the owner of a symlink?\
[14:46] <bean> Boreeas: rm -rf conf/
[14:47] <mi3> hi!
[14:47] <Zaitzev> geirha: is it safe to change the ownership/group on the entire /usr directory, to root? and how do I do it using terminal?
[14:47] <mars__> hello everybody,i am back
[14:48] <auronandace> mars__: is it better than being forward?
[14:49] <Boreeas> bean: Ah, thanks
[14:51] <geirha> Zaitzev: Probably. Should be safer than what you have now at least.
[14:51] <Zaitzev> geirha: problem solved
[14:52] <barf> auronandace: where do I enter the nomodeset option? in /etc/grub/grub.conf?
[14:52] <mars__> what does that mean?
[14:52] <Zaitzev> geirha: changed permissions of /usr, /usr/share and /usr/bin, virtualbox is working now
[14:54] <tapas> geekbri: yeah, this is 10.04 too iirc
[14:55] <tapas> geekbri: installing the language pack solved the issue..
[14:55] <tapas> geekbri:  it didn't find the files for the locale..
[14:55] <tapas> no clue why it changed to a .de locale all of a sudden :D
[14:58] <geekbri> tapas: yeah i had a simliar problem like 7 months ago or so, installing the language pack unfortunately didn't help me.
[14:58] <geekbri> tapas: im pretty sure my problem occured after updating glibc but i dont really remember, it was a while ago :)
[15:01] <barf> GRUB no longer show, nomodeset added to /etc/defalt/grub

[15:05] <Jimmio> Update Manager GUI tells me there's a kernel update. sudo apt-get update/upgrade holds them back. What's up?
[15:07] <storyteller> Hi i want one application to use on ppp0 while another to use wlan0 ,is there any way to do that?
[15:07] <llutz> nlko: for file in $(cat notes.txt);do whatever;done
[15:08] <martin__> How do I install nfs client on ubuntu 11.04?
[15:08] <pickelsss> How can I restart a job in upstart if it's already running? I thought of putting stop in pre-start but the first time when nothing is running that gives an error.
[15:08] <bastidrazor> Jimmio: are you using 12.04?
[15:09] <Jimmio> 11.10
[15:10] <bastidrazor> Jimmio: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade    will install the kernel.. reasons why its being held back. no clue.
[15:10] <llutz> nlko: or : while read line; do whatever $line; done < notes.txt
[15:10] <Jimmio> bastidrazor: I figured as much. Thing is.. it's being held back for a reason. Something is probably missing.
[15:11] <brianm> install openjdk on 12.04 beta2 images in ec2 seems to no longer work

[15:13] <storyteller> is it possible to make that iceweasel uses ppp0 while transmission utilizes wlan0 ?
[15:14] <bean> storyteller: basically you want to send email over your VPN while still torrenting? ;)
[15:14] <bean> err, browse.
[15:14] <bean> not send email
[15:14] <Namib> Hi everyone, I'm a brand new Xubuntu user! Yesterday I downloaded Xubuntu 11.10 on CD and I've installed it alongside Windows XP. So far so good, it starts and works well. The problem is that when I turn on\restart the pc, it does not make me choose which OS load, but it loads Xubuntu automatically. Where am I wrong? How can I fix it?
[15:15] <storyteller> @bean: well, yes :D , can we tweak it so?
[15:15] <JosephHarrietha> Namib, have you tried running the command "sudo update-grub"
[15:16] <Namib> yes
[15:16] <xangua> Namib: grub does not load¿ are you sure that you installed alongside¿
[15:16] <loganrun> does anyone know if there is a ubuntu package for kile 2.1.1. I am not sure where I wouls search for this. the current version that I have installed from the default repositories is 2.1.0
[15:16] <Namib> no i'm not
[15:16] <loganrun> being somewhat new to ubuntu, an am not sure where to look
[15:16] <JosephHarrietha> Namib, Hmm, "cd /etc/grub.d/ && ls" Is there a file called os-prober and is it green?
[15:17] <brianm> anyone have any idea what happened with openjdk on 11.10 and 12.04 in last week?
[15:17] <brianm> neither will install, both very upset about unmet deps
[15:17] <Namib> yes
[15:17] <Namib> it's green
[15:18] <Pici> brianm: If you didn't get an answer in #ubuntu+1, #ubuntu-server would be the other place to try.  #ubuntu itself still does not support 12.04 yet.
[15:18] <loganrun> are there development repositories or something that would have kile 2.1.1
[15:18] <faweideniu> i will install 12.04
[15:18] <Pici> loganrun: I don't see kile 2.1.1 in any Ubuntu repositories (for any release) nor in debian.
[15:18] <JosephHarrietha> Namib, Alright, can you please post the output of update-grub in pastebin?
[15:18] <JosephHarrietha> !paste | Namib
[15:19] <loganrun> Pici, hmm thanks for checking, tried to compile from the source, but that didn't work. would take some time to see if I can install the proper dependancies
[15:19] <Namib> ok just a moment
[15:19] <ikonia> loganrun: is there a reason you want 2.1.1 ?
[15:19] <sauevaem> pulseaudio configured for per-user sessions saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned

[15:19] <Pici> loganrun: You might want to check if there are any needs sync bugs posted on the package's page on launchpad, perhaps there is a compiling problem preventing it from being packaged.
[15:19] <sauevaem> tried web solutions

[15:23] <Basher101> I tried to install Gnome 3 shell on Ubuntu 12.04 and it works so far..except the terminal won't open when i hit ctrl+alt+T. All the other key shortcuts work..any suggestions?
[15:23] <JosephHarrietha> !paste | namib

[15:23] <Basher101> i see. Thanks
[15:23] <donal> in my .profile I've defined a bash function named "cronTest". I want to run this function as a cron job every minute, so I added the following to the crontab "* * * * * source $HOME/.profile; cronTest >> $HOME/cron.log 2>&1"
[15:24] <JosephHarrietha> namib Okay, it should be displaying it. It knows that windows is there. Can you put the contents of the file "/etc/default/grub" up on http://paste.ubuntu.com and then send me a link to it?
[15:24] <donal> but when I look in the log file I see "/bin/sh: cronTest: not found"
[15:24] <Pici> loganrun: hmm..
[15:24] <donal> so obviously cron cannot see this function even though I source .profile before trying to execute it
[15:24] <ikonia> loganrun: why do you want the later version ?
[15:24] <Namib> sure
[15:24] <loganrun> ikonia, code folding for latex doesn't work right on 2.1.0
[15:25] <loganrun> ikonia, hopeing they fixed this issue
[15:25] <ikonia> loganrun: does it work in 2.1.1 ?
[15:25] <ikonia> as in do you know it works ?
[15:25] <loganrun> ikonia, define know
[15:25] <Guest36099> !list
[15:25] <ikonia> loganrun: "is there a bug for this that says "fixed" in version 2.1.1"
[15:26] <loganrun> ikonia, probably not, but I thought it was worth a try
[15:26] <ikonia> loganrun: I'd strongly advise against doing it with no basis
[15:26] <ikonia> loganrun: you have the potential to wreck your system and waste a lot of time, look for a bug / read the change logs and see if this issue is resolved
[15:26] <ikonia> loganrun: if it's not resolved, add to the bug, if there is no bug, log a bug and push it, progress it
[15:26] <Namib> http://paste.ubuntu.com/925004/
[15:26] <loganrun> ikonia, ok thanks
[15:27] <ikonia> loganrun: seems silly to waste time and effort if you don't even know if it there is any sign of a fix in this version
[15:27] <Flecki> hallo
[15:28] <Flecki> kann mir mal einer helfen
[15:28] <JosephHarrietha> Namib,  Okay, finally, do the same thing you just did with the file "/boot/grub/grub.cfg"
[15:28] <Pici> !de | Flecki
[15:28] <Flecki> möchte eine jfs Platte mounten
[15:28] <Flecki> geht aber mit Version 12.04 nicht ( kein teriber )
[15:28] <donal> in my .profile I've defined a bash function named "cronTest". I want to run this function as a cron job every minute, so I added the following to the crontab "* * * * * source $HOME/.profile; cronTest >> $HOME/cron.log 2>&1"
[15:28] <Flecki> OK danke
[15:29] <ikonia> donal: that seems crazy to source that file every minute
[15:29] <donal> it's just for test purposes
[15:29] <ikonia> donal: also cron won't have $HOME set
[15:29] <donal> oh
[15:29] <sauevaem> pulseaudio configured for per-user sessions saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned    on boot, help please
[15:29] <donal> can I do ~/.profile ?
[15:29] <JosephHarrietha> $home only applies to user accounts. Cron runs as a user without a home directory
[15:30] <Namib> It shows the message "sudo: /boot/grub/grub.cfg: command not found"
[15:30] <JosephHarrietha> donal so ~/.profile for cron, dosen't exist.
[15:30] <ikonia> donal: no
[15:30] <ikonia> donal: and sourcing that file every minute seems pointless
[15:30] <Pici> donal: Whats in .profile that you need?
[15:30] <JosephHarrietha> donal, Infact, ~ is just an alias for $HOME
[15:30] <donal> the .profile contains the definition of the cronTest function
[15:31] <ikonia> donal: why do you need to source it every 60 secvonds ?
[15:31] <JosephHarrietha> He is just doing it for testing purposes guys.... don't just on him for that haha.
[15:31] <donal> in reality, it will only run once or twice a day
[15:31] <JosephHarrietha> jump*
[15:31] <donal> while testing I'm running it each minute
[15:31] <ikonia> why ?
[15:31] <ikonia> donal: why does it need to be run ?
[15:31] <donal> thanks joseph
[15:31] <ikonia> donal: it's pointless the user "cron" is sourcing this file
[15:31] <ikonia> the user cron is not an interactive user
[15:32] <JosephHarrietha> Yup, ikonia is right. It has no home directory
[15:32] <ikonia> you're soucing something into a shell, that will be dropped the second the cron job exits
[15:32] <JosephHarrietha> you'll just have to replace $home with /home/yourusernamehere
[15:32] <JosephHarrietha> not a big change by any means.
[15:32] <donal> ikonia: the cron job runs a bash function, the function is in the root user's .profile, so it needs to source this file in order to know about the function
[15:32] <ikonia> JosephHarrietha: that won't work as the shell that cron is running will exist and drop the functions
[15:32] <ikonia> donal: sorry that makes no sense
[15:32] <kalxas> hi all, any packager around?
[15:33] <stopostit21> test
[15:33] <ikonia> donal: just write a script to do what you need it to do, or in the script source the function
[15:33] <Tconatech> im having an issue with my Meerkat install
[15:33] <stopostit21> hi!
[15:33] <ikonia> donal: as soon as that cron job exits the user's shell will drop it
[15:33] <JosephHarrietha> ikonia, Hmm, I didn't know that one. I've only used cron one, on a debian repository to add any deb's in a certain directory once a day.
[15:33] <ikonia> JosephHarrietha: think about it, the cronjob launches a shell, does what it needs to do, then closes the shell as it's done
[15:33] <xangua> Tconatech: maverick is no longer supported
[15:34] <Guest91689> I have forgotten my password and my user name for my samba folder, how to recover the password?
[15:34] <JosephHarrietha> ikonia, and that was on a Debian 6 server haha. Yea, I get that part :P.

[15:36] <bazhang> Tconatech, ah, then use additional drivers
[15:36] <Pici> Tconatech: Maverick is no longer supported.

[15:49] <JosephHarrietha> Yea, sadly I have issues with gksu stemming back to my days in developing for that project. I don't like how it works and to be honest, I don't see a good reason to bother confusing people with two commands.

[15:52] <Dice-Man> plustax: sudo apt-get install gparted
[15:53] <JosephHarrietha> Namib,  just do whatever you did to paste the /etc/default/grub file and do that again
[15:53] <GirlyGirl> ubuntu9mil1: Have you installed the drivers?
[15:53] <plustax> xangua, i did that but it didnt work
[15:53] <plustax> ill paste output one moment
[15:53] <JosephHarrietha> namib only for this file instead :P
[15:53] <Artemis3> tehowe, in a normal running system you would simply apt-get remove linux-imageblahblah... i guess you could simply delete some, ignore booting from them until you get a working system to do update-grub
[15:54] <Artemis3> tehowe, as long as you keep the last one that worked and the new one, the others are waste imo
[15:54] <plustax> xangua, here check this out http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2066611/Screenshot.png
[15:54] <plustax> I dunno what to do :/
[15:54] <tehowe> Artemis3: Oh it's still working, I'm using it now so I should be able to remove those extraneous images from the command line now eh
[15:55] <quicknet2> ubuttu what will i do about the address help have tried to install ic500 lightwave webcam via cheese and it not working
[15:55] <Artemis3> tehowe, if you can apt-get remove em do so, it will run update-grub for you
[15:55] <xangua> plustax: do you have another package manager open¿ as the message asks¿
[15:56] <plustax> I dont believe so
[15:56] <plustax> xangua,
[15:56] <plustax> want to team viewer in and take a look for me? :)
[15:56] <tehowe> Artemis3: Ok thanks. That's a gotcha for the default LUKS installation I guess... boot partition fills up after (counts) 7 kernel upgrades
[15:56] <Namib> http://paste.ubuntu.com/925039/
[15:56] <lovehappens> !help
[15:56] <xangua> !webcam
[15:56] <xangua> quicknet2: cheese does not install anything, is just a viewer; is your cam supported¿
[15:56] <Namib> there's something wrong..
[15:57] <Artemis3> tehowe, yes, each kernel is filling space, if the partition is small it will fill up rather quickly
[15:57] <lovehappens> can i install macbuntu on xubuntu 12.04 ?
[15:57] <plustax> xangua, teamviewer?
[15:58] <xangua> plustax: no
[15:58] <plustax> xangua, I dont know what to do :(
[15:58] <xangua> lovehappens: don't think so, also pangolin support is on #ubuntu+1
[16:00] <JosephHarrietha> namib "sudo cp /boot/grub/grub.cfg  ~/Desktop/grub.cfg"
[16:00] <multipass|2> how do i keep my ubuntu server time synched with live?
[16:01] <Artemis3> Namib, i just read your problem, i don't think you should bother with showing us grub.cfg, only you need to to is edit /etc/default/grub eg: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[16:01] <Artemis3> Namib, as a matter of fact, paste THAT file instead of grub.cfg
[16:01] <ti_> hola
[16:02] <ti_> me llamo pedro de jerez
[16:02] <Artemis3> !es | ti_
[16:02] <JosephHarrietha> Artemis3, We cleared that one already
[16:03] <Artemis3> JosephHarrietha, isn't that simply changing the option to show menu and or default boot entry?
[16:03] <JosephHarrietha> Artemis3, I'm looking at that grub.cfg because honestly, his update-grub detects it, his default/grub is stock. Not a single change.
[16:03] <Guest35454> can anyone help with an EPIC client problem?
[16:04] <JosephHarrietha> Artemis3, So I'm looking there to see if something else is screwed up before I tell him to reboot and try
[16:04] <Namib> http://paste.ubuntu.com/925050/
[16:04] <Guest35454> I seem to have a font translation issue (formatting blocks) that I can't get around
[16:04] <tehowe> Artemis3: I've marked the images and headers for .17 - .20 for removal in synaptic so thqt should take care of some of the administrative stuff as well. Here goes... :O
[16:04] <Artemis3> JosephHarrietha, perhaps the file was never saved
[16:05] <JosephHarrietha> Namib, Okay, well at this point... after seeing update grub detect it and your default/grub is okay. And you showed that grub.cfg exists in /boot/grub .... I'd say its safe to reboot and try it
[16:05] <JosephHarrietha> Artemis3, I got him to do "ls /boot/grub && grep grub"
[16:05] <JosephHarrietha> Artemis3, Its there :P
[16:05] <Monotoko> hey guys, I'm trying to get Grub2 and TrueCrypt on Windows to play nicely... at the moment Truecrypt is telling me to move my GRUB install to the partition, so I tried that by running "grub-install /dev/sda5" under Ubuntu as root, but it's bringing me back this: " warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition-less disk or to a partition.  This is a BAD idea.."
[16:06] <JosephHarrietha> Monotoko, Yea, it always does. Ignore it like its your mom and say yes
[16:06] <Monotoko> JosephHarrietha, use the --force?
[16:06] <Artemis3> Monotoko, are you sure its sda5???
[16:06] <Monotoko> (pun intended)
[16:06] <JosephHarrietha> Monotoko, I use a truecrypted windows and seperate data partition, with luks crypt on ubuntu. So yea, just put force it
[16:06] <JosephHarrietha> just put force on it*
[16:06] <Namib> sorry <JosephHarrietha> can you try to explain simpler,  i'm a newbie for Xubuntu and English xD
[16:06] <Monotoko> Artemis3, il put my fdisk -l on pastebin so you can check? Pretty sure it is but I want a second set of eyes...
[16:06] <JosephHarrietha> Namib, Means I'm sure your fine now, reboot :P
[16:07] <Artemis3> Monotoko, if you like
[16:07] <Namib> oooh
[16:07] <Namib> ook
[16:07] <GirlyGirl> Namib: There are channels in many languages see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList
[16:07] <Namib> Thank you very very much!
[16:07] <Artemis3> Namib, good luck :)
[16:07] <JosephHarrietha> Monotoko, WHOA. Read that error again.
[16:07] <Monotoko> Artemis3: http://pastebin.com/Lpz4Z7Q9
[16:08] <JosephHarrietha> Monotoko, Yea, fdisk it... partitionless?
[16:08] <GirlyGirl> Namib: Assuming #ubuntu-it for you
[16:08] <Monotoko> my fdisk is up there... maybe I'm trying to install to the wrong place
[16:08] <jpollard> Monotoko: This might help http://goo.gl/1TfJE
[16:09] <JosephHarrietha> Monotoko, Nevermind... Artemis3 Scared me..... Its just warning you about installing it to a partition.
[16:09] <Artemis3> Monotoko, should do, also dpkg-reconfigure grub should show pretty places to put grub, including /dev/sda5
[16:09] <JosephHarrietha> ^ that works too :P
[16:09] <Monotoko> thank you guys, you're all legends :D
[16:10] <compdoc> true
[16:10] <Artemis3> Monotoko, and it saves the config for the future
[16:10] <Monotoko> Artemis3, "grub is not installed"
[16:10] <Monotoko> and I tried grub2... it's saying the same o.0
[16:11] <Artemis3> Monotoko, grub-pc
[16:11] <JosephHarrietha> I have windows 7 in sda1, full system encryption. /boot in sda2 with grub, / in luks encrypted sda3 and personal data truecrypted in sda4. For me, its type password for windows and boot, or his esc, type password for ubuntu
[16:11] <JosephHarrietha> hit*
[16:12] <Monotoko> Artemis3, ahhh yes it's offering me sda5... excellent :) thank you
[16:12] <darbe> hi guys
[16:12] <Artemis3> Monotoko, you are welcome
[16:12] <JosephHarrietha> Monotoko Artemis3, Yay :D.
[16:12] <Namib> JosephHarrietha! nothing has changed..
[16:12] <Namib> :O
[16:12] <Monotoko> right... time to boot back into Windows, later guys ^^
[16:12] <darbe> nautilis, gedit, sound seting etc. doesn't work
[16:12] <JosephHarrietha> Namib, O.o ... are you sure? It should be the 5th entry
[16:13] <JosephHarrietha> Namib, Should go Ubuntu, Ubuntu, Older Kernels, Memtest, Windows.
[16:13] <darbe> it gives similar error :nautilus:10010): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_unref: assertion `value != NULL' failed
[16:13] <Artemis3> JosephHarrietha, i suspect his /etc/default/grub remains intact (ie not saved changes)
[16:13] <barf> Ubuntu 12.04 installed, but the trackpad of the Acer Aspire 7715 does not work :-(
[16:13] <JosephHarrietha> Artemis3, Yea.... Weird. Were going to have to get that file then. But it was throwing some odd errors out before.
[16:13] <darbe> is there anyway to fix it?
[16:14] <Artemis3> barf you need to join #ubuntu+1 and ask there
[16:14] <Namib> sorry what i've to do?
[16:15] <JosephHarrietha> Ugh.. I got an hour until I have to get back to work on the site, so I have to go steal backtracks menu and hack the tools into ubuntu. I hate setting up a new install.... anyway, bye :D
[16:15] <Artemis3> Namib, please copy the file /etc/default/grub into pastebin i need to see it
[16:16] <Namib> ok
[16:17] <darbe> nautilus:10010): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_unref: assertion `value != NULL' failed Any idea?
[16:18] <Namib> Artemis3, can you type the exact text? because "sudo /etc/default/grub" shows "sudo: /etc/default/grub: command not found"
[16:18] <barf> Is it possible to make an i386/amd64 bootable installer?
[16:18] <barf> So that I can have the same memory stick for i386 and 64 bit computers?
[16:19] <Artemis3> Namib, no need to sudo this time ;)
[16:19] <Artemis3> Namib, try cat /etc/default/grub
[16:19] <Artemis3> Namib, also gedit /etc/default/grub
[16:19] <Artemis3> Namib, should work perfectly
[16:20] <darbe> nautilus:10010): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_unref: assertion `value != NULL' failed

[16:21] <realus> Hey all!
[16:21] <darbe> (seahorse:15445): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_variant_unref: assertion `value != NULL' failed
[16:21] <realus> Just reinstalled ubuntu and want to make a resotre point before I install security updates
[16:21] <realus> how possible??
[16:22] <realus> chhers
[16:22] <GirlyGirl> realus: create an image of the drive with dd
[16:22] <realus> got the syntax GirlyGirl ??
[16:23] <GirlyGirl> realus: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/store/block
[16:23] <Pici> realus: Theres no concept of a restore point on Linux (this isn't windows). Using dd to image your drive would effectively be a backup of your entire harddrive, which is probably not what you're looking for.
[16:23] <realus> of= the place you want to store it ??
[16:23] <GirlyGirl> realus: yes see what Pici said
[16:24] <realus> ok, and how do I check the sda path??
[16:24] <realus> syntax plz
[16:24] <GirlyGirl> realus: use "lsblk"
[16:24] <sipior> realus: if you're using lvm, you could of course take a volume snapshot to roll back to. that would be more or less the equivalent of a restore point.
[16:25] <realus> sipior, what is lvm ??
[16:25] <realus> brb
[16:25] <sacarlson> realus:  I'm not sure about security but I think a git of the /etc dir would be one place to start
[16:25] <GirlyGirl> realus: Also use the bs= parameter so that copying is faster, see dd --help
[16:25] <sipior> realus: if you don't know, you're likely not using it :-)
[16:25] <GirlyGirl> !dd | realus
[16:25] <Artemis3> very good Namib so what would you like? to always see menu, or to always boot windows?
[16:25] <GirlyGirl> realus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DriveImaging
[16:26] <Namib> i'd like to choose, sometimes Xubuntu, sometimes XP
[16:26] <realus> so I could restore from the image and will be back as was ??
[16:26] <Artemis3> Namib, then you need to always show menu thats very easy
[16:27] <GirlyGirl> realus: Yes but restore from a livecd
[16:27] <Artemis3> Namib, then close the file, now open again with gksudo (or sudo) like this: gksudo /etc/default/grub
[16:27] <sacarlson> Artemis3: I like the cinnamon theam that is more like gnome clasic
, done
[16:29] <AriaDesu> Hello. Where is the file that says what X does as it starts? A lá Xinitrc, but systemwide default
[16:29] <AriaDesu> Or is that a xinitrc file as well? If so, where is it?
[16:29] <tehowe> Well, that seems to have worked, crisis averted :D
[16:30] <Artemis3> Namib change GRUB_TIMEOUT to -1 : GRUB_TIMEOUT=-1

[16:32] <eb_dev> Hi, I'm having trouble running php5-cli, I've installed it using 'apt-get install php5-cli'  but it states the command isn't found, any help would be greatly appreciated.
[16:32] <d3admau5> Bronzdragon: same results
[16:32] <sacarlson> d3admau5: sorry that's nautilus
[16:33] <d3admau5> sacarlson: how do you use it through nautilus? is there a gui version?
[16:33] <geekbri> eb_dev: which command, you run the php cli with just 'php' not 'php-cli'
[16:33] <eb_dev> geekbri: ah i see, yeah i was running it php-cli
[16:34] <Namib> Artemis3 , after entering "gksudo / etc / default / grub" and after the password, nothing appears on the terminal
[16:34] <geekbri> eb_dev: yeah, just php will do.  php -i for info.  Beware I believe that the php-cli uses a different php.ini than the mod_php used by apache if you are using it that was as well.
[16:34] <sacarlson> d3admau5: nautilus>file>connect server>service type>window share
[16:34] <eb_dev> geekbri: great, thanks for the help, I'll try that :)
[16:34] <geekbri> eb_dev: no problemo
[16:34] <GirlyGirl> Namib: no spaces after "/" and before "/"
[16:35] <Artemis3> Namib: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub OR gksudo nano /etc/default/grub
[16:35] <GirlyGirl> Namib: so "gksu /etc/default/grub"
[16:35] <docster> hello all
[16:35] <Artemis3> or sudo nano /etc/default/grub
[16:35] <sacarlson> d3admau5: nautilus is the gui you play like file manager
[16:35] <Namib> yes, i know, there are no spaces in the terminal ;)
[16:36] <Artemis3> Namib, if its terminal only then its sudo nano /etc/default/grub <---- first space IS needed after sudo and another after nano
[16:37] <sacarlson> Artemis3:  GirlyGirl: or you can try the gui grub-customiser in ppa
[16:37] <GirlyGirl> darbe
[16:37] <Namib> ok now i'm in!
[16:37] <Artemis3> Namib, sudo(space)nano(space)/etc/default/grub
[16:37] <Artemis3> Namib, only change the line GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 to GRUB_TIMEOUT=-1
[16:37] <sacarlson> Artemis3: GirlyGirl https://launchpad.net/~danielrichter2007/+archive/grub-customizer
[16:38] <d3admau5> sacarlson: my network sharing won't work without configuring the smb.conf, but when i install samba smb.conf isn't there anymore
[16:38] <darbe> GirlyGirl: do you have idea?
[16:38] <usr13> Namib: It's not really accurate to say there are no spaces, it's just that you have to know where and where not to put a space.
[16:38] <sauevaem> audio configured for per-user sessions saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned    on boot, help please help
[16:38] <AriaDesu> Why not make a new samba.conf manually?
[16:38] <Artemis3> Namib, after that save file and close editor, run command: sudo update-grub
[16:38] <GirlyGirl> darbe: No sorry highlighted your nick by mistake ... but someone had this problem and solved by installing something
[16:39] <realus> what is syntax to close all open apps unforcefully?
[16:39] <darbe> GirlyGirl: installing what?
[16:39] <d3admau5> sacarlson: i installed on one machine and everything was good, installed on another machine and did something wrong so i decided to start over and now it's not installing correctly
[16:39] <sacarlson> d3admau5: I don't recall installing anything until nautilus asked me too
[16:39] <usr13> realus: pkill apt-name
[16:39] <Namib>  ok i've changed GRUB_TIMEOUT =10  to GRUB_TIMEOUT=-1
[16:39] <GirlyGirl> darbe: not sure ... try "apt-get install --reinstall gsettings-desktop-schemas"
[16:40] <sacarlson> d3admau5: there are so many ways to config samba I just use the easy ways
[16:40] <usr13> realus: To kill all apps unforcefully?  I don't know, but seems to me if you kill all apps, you'd kill the system.
[16:40] <realus> usr13, thx for reply
[16:40] <d3admau5> sacarlson: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html
[16:40] <cperales> 64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD iso  its just for amd? o can i use it if i have intel?
[16:40] <realus> usr13, mean more like, close everything open so I can restart
[16:40] <darbe> GirlyGirl: thanks I am trying
[16:40] <compdoc> cperales, yes, for 64bit intel
[16:41] <realus> apt-name would be one by one
[16:41] <GirlyGirl> darbe: But why use nautilus on Kubuntu?
[16:41] <Artemis3> Namib, save file, run command: sudo update-grub
[16:41] <d3admau5> sacarlson: my machines will not connect to the network without following those steps. problem is installation\
 know what i mean ?
 or is there a restart that does it for you ?
[16:41] <Caifas> Helo guys, I need to run a reverse ssh comand on my system start but I cannot make it work on rc.local, anyone have any ideia why?
[16:42] <sacarlson> d3admau5: nautilus would have told you what to install,  but like I said there 100 ways to do it
[16:42] <schnuffle> Caifas: NEtwork isnt up yet
[16:42] <cperales> compdoc, thx
[16:42] <schnuffle> ?
[16:43] <darbe> GirlyGirl: it is not anout nautilus. I need to open sound settings, but I get similar error. Likewise, gedit, seahorse and so on
[16:43] <usr13> realus:  Depends on what GUI you are using.    Some GUI interfaces have options to save session or not save session.  If you have option to not save session, close all apps and save session and then in the next session tell it to not save session from then on and you will start with empty session no matter how many apps are open when you logout or shut down or restart.
[16:43] <Namib> Artemis3,after saying save, it asks me " doc format, mac format, backup file, etc" which i've to choose?
[16:43] <Caifas> schnuffle: well, i was trying just a momento ago to put the line on crontab but it seen to still not connect :/

[16:53] <GirlyGirl> ehsansn: Are these both desktops? Is it a ps/2 mouse and keyboard or a special wireless bluetooth or something
[16:53] <ehsansn> no its usual
[16:53] <ehsansn> actually they are common mouse and keyboard
[16:54] <saurabh> sacarlson, awesome. Python it is!
[16:54] <ehsansn> the keyboard works in tty
[16:54] <Namib> i'm in "sudo nano /etc/default/grub"
[16:54] <Namib> then?
[16:54] <usr13> Namib: Just hit enter and then do trl-x  to exit.  (Next time just Ctrl-x to exit and it'll ask if  you want to save your work.)
[16:54] <ehsansn> ?!?!?!
[16:54] <sacarlson> saurabh: ya python is cool I've done some but I prefer ruby
[16:54] <Artemis3> Namib, edit line again, then ctrl x
[16:54] <usr13> Namib: Typo:  Ctrl-x  not trl-x
[16:54] <Artemis3> Namib, it will ask you if you want to save file
[16:54] <sacarlson> saurabh: and glade supports ruby also
[16:55] <GirlyGirl> ehsansn: Try creating a new user and see if it works there
[16:55] <ehsansn> it doesnt
[16:56] <saurabh> sacarlson, how do I learn about python bindings for gnome-shell like stuff? Or I stick with js for that?
[16:56] <Namib> yes it asks me it..
[16:56] <ehsansn> because in doesnt work in the guest either
[16:56] <Namib> i hit "s" for yes
[16:56] <Artemis3> Namib, save file
[16:56] <usr13> Namib:  y
[16:56] <Artemis3> Namib, do it
[16:56] <Metaphysicist> I'm trying to force a mount point based off of PCI address, so that way when I plug a hard drive in to a certain port I can always reliably know where that hard drive is within the system. How would I go about making a udev rule to automount a specific drive at a specific point based off of the PCI address that it's located at? Or can anyone point me in the right direction?
[16:56] <usr13> Namib:  (y  for yes)
[16:56] <sacarlson> saurabh: I don't know i you need any binding to gnome shell, your app is only inside your windwo
[16:57] <sacarlson> window
[16:57] <Artemis3> usr13, its s in italian ;)
[16:57] <usr13> Artemis3: Oh, sorry....
[16:57] <usr13> Didn't realize.....
[16:57] <d3admau5> could somebody help me out with how to reinstall samba. I had it installed, messed something up, so had to uninstall it. Now when i install it doesn't install all the files and directories. and when i type samba in terminal it says it's not installed, yet when i sudo apt get it says it is installed
[16:58] <saurabh> pyGTk that's it? May be I can research about shell notifications later.
[16:58] <Namib> but i'm in the precedent situation it asks me the name of the file in which save
[16:58] <sacarlson> Metaphysicist: I think we have that it's call uuid
[16:58] <Artemis3> Namib, hit enter?
[16:58] <Namib> ok
[16:58] <Namib> done
[16:58] <loganrun> I want to launch two instances of the program kile, but that doesn't seem to work. is there any way around this
[16:58] <Artemis3> Namib, now this command: sudo update-grub
[16:58] <Namib> Thank you!
[16:58] <Metaphysicist> sacarlson: But wont the UUID change if I put a different drive in?
[16:59] <usr13> d3admau5: Usually, uninstalling and re-installing is not a good way to fix something.  (May be true in the MS-Windows systems, but... not Linux).
[16:59] <Namib> wait a second
[16:59] <sacarlson> Metaphysicist: uuid is like the finger print of that disk not mater what position it's located
[16:59] <d3admau5> usr13: i see the error of my ways now.
[16:59] <loganrun> bad ways
[16:59] <d3admau5> usr13: can you provide any help?
[17:00] <usr13> d3admau5: Well, not really a samba expert but I'll do what I can.
[17:00] <Artemis3> sacarlson, more like partition rather than disk...
[17:00] <Namib> Artemis,http://paste.ubuntu.com/925142/
[17:00] <loganrun> is there way way to launch two instances of a program that doesn't seem to what you to do this?
[17:00] <Metaphysicist> Well a bunch of different drives will be hot-swapped over time for wiping purposes, and since I need to be able to know which hard drive is located where I was hoping I could correlate the PCI address to the slot in the storage array so I can say "Port 1 is done, put new drive in, begin wiping again"
[17:00] <d3admau5> usr13: i was following this guide https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html
[17:00] <sacarlson> Metaphysicist: when we mount a disk we expect it to have the contents we expected to still be there. so we made uuid so we move the disk but the computer still finds it
[17:01] <Artemis3> Namib, that should do, try reboot. Grub menu will show until you choose
[17:01] <usr13> d3admau5: Did you edit the  /etc/samba/smb.conf  file yet?
[17:01] <d3admau5> usr13: and now it doesn't install a samba file in etc
[17:01] <usr13> d3admau5: Oh, reading ...
[17:01] <sacarlson> Metaphysicist: is your idea different?
[17:02] <Namib> ok i'll try and then i'll let you know!
[17:02] <Guest5189> ctrl+d dont work in ssmtp ??
[17:02] <Namib> Thank you!
[17:02] <Artemis3> Namib, sure no problem
[17:02] <usr13> d3admau5: The instructions look pretty straight forward.  Where are you running into problems?
[17:02] <d3admau5> usr13: http://pastebin.com/MQpffv41 this is what happens when i sudo apt-get
[17:02] <sacarlson> Artemis3: oh like uuid for a partition?
[17:03] <d3admau5> usr13: i just entered something wrong in the terminal and didn't know how to fix it, so being used to windows i unistalled
[17:03] <usr13> d3admau5: Yep.  Well, looks like it's up and running.
[17:03] <Metaphysicist> Maybe I'm not explaining fully. Since I'll constantly be swapping drives I want to be able to consistently point and poll the slot in the storage array for new drives, but I want the system to boot with a dedicated array slot per mounting point and it won't change. That way my program will always be able to scan a select amount of slots, I know which drive is where at all times. If I don't, I end up getting the drives re-orderi
[17:03] <Artemis3> sacarlson, yes the uuid is generated with the partition, repartition and uuid changes...
[17:03] <d3admau5> usr13: now i can't reinstall
[17:04] <Artemis3> sacarlson, i think just reformat the same partition, and the uuid changes
[17:04] <d3admau5> usr13: no samba folder in /etc though. so no /etc/samba/smb.conf to configure
[17:04] <Metaphysicist> I want Slot X to be MountPoint X every time.
[17:04] <sacarlson> Metaphysicist: and why can't uuid do that?
[17:04] <IboS> hi people
[17:05] <Metaphysicist> Because the same drive will never be in the system again, once its put in, it will be wiped, pulled out, and a new one put in its place.
[17:05] <IboS> i have an ssh server how to set up quotas on ram used and disk space utilisation ?
[17:05] <Metaphysicist> Wont the UUID change?
[17:05] <IboS> *disk space use
[17:05] <Artemis3> Metaphysicist, yes it will change unless its a dd (clonezilla) or simmilar
[17:05] <Metaphysicist> I don't care about the hard drive itself, just where its located. The actual slot.
[17:06] <sacarlson> Metaphysicist: well you can set the uuid if the contents of the drive has the same as the one you replaced
[17:06] <sacarlson> Metaphysicist: the idea of uuid is so the slot make no difference
[17:06] <Artemis3> Metaphysicist, use device id, they don't change very often, unless machine configuration changes
[17:07] <Artemis3> Metaphysicist, there is also label id...
[17:07] <Artemis3> Metaphysicist, if you care to always label your partition the same...
[17:07] <d3admau5> usr13: any ideas?
[17:07] <usr13> d3admau5: ls /etc/samba/smb.conf   #What does that return?
[17:08] <d3admau5> usr13: a blank page
[17:08] <sacarlson> Artemis3: yes there is label id also but grub and linux use uuid at boot to auto select no mater what location
[17:08] <usr13> d3admau5: cat /etc/samba/smb.conf   #What does that return?
[17:09] <sacarlson> Metaphysicist: you can reverse uuid it will tell you what slot it's in
[17:09] <d3admau5> usr13: both returned "no such file or dirrectory"
[17:09] <cmcintosh> has anyone been able to get a usb based video card recognized by Xwindows, got a Toshiba laptop with built in Nvidia card and a Eclipse uvee usb video card
[17:09] <Artemis3> Metaphysicist, command: blkid
[17:10] <usr13> d3admau5: ps aux |grep smbd  #What does that say?
[17:10] <sacarlson> Metaphysicist: if you made clear the difference of uuid and your idea it would make it clear
[17:11] <usr13> d3admau5: ps 3425   #What does that say?
[17:11] <jeferson> \list

[17:12] <Artemis3> !it | DD3my
[17:13] <wiherek> I was working on a file in openoffice that was on my windows partition, which got unmounted before the file was saved
[17:13] <wiherek> openoffice provided some info that it coudnt be saved, but id did save the file somewhere - i jst dont know where
[17:13] <wiherek> help please.
[17:14] <wiherek> where could that file have been saved?
[17:14] <alexstrand7> do someone knows if 12.04 works perfectly on dell laptops with ati graphics. This is a bug that all versions from 10.04 and newer has
[17:14] <alexstrand7> *10.10
[17:14] <alexstrand7> 10.04 works, I meant 10.10
[17:14] <OerHeks> !pangolin | alexstrand7
[17:15] <usr13> d3admau5: Sorry, duty calls.  (On the phone...)
[17:15] <sacarlson> wiherek: unmounted?  if a users space is umounted I don't know any other place it can go
[17:15] <Artemis3> alexstrand7, you should try the desktop image (live) boot from the cd to see
[17:15] <alexstrand7> ok, i'm downloading it now
[17:15] <usr13> someone pick him up:  d3admau5   He can't get smbd to run
[17:15] <d3admau5> usr13: ok ill be here
[17:15] <Artemis3> alexstrand7, but maybe wait until release, because there could be bugs
[17:15] <wiherek> sacarlson: user space wasnt unmounted, just the partition with the file
[17:15] <d3admau5> thx usr13:
[17:15] <sacarlson> wiherek: oh so that wasn't your /home/user?
[17:16] <alexstrand7> I are not going to replace my ubuntu version, just try it out beside
[17:16] <Artemis3> alexstrand7, yes but remember to try again after release, current beta is not ready
[17:17] <sacarlson> wiherek: so do a search for the file name in /home/yourusername  directory like find . -name "filename"
[17:17] <cmcintosh> argh
[17:17] <alexstrand7> yes, but isn't there an upgrade method I can use for upgrading from beta to final?
[17:17] <Namib> Artemi3, I think I've understood what is the problem. When I reboot, at some point the monitor turns off (as if in standby). Before, after a few seconds it turns on automatically and starts Xubuntu. But now it stands off until I press enter.
[17:17] <cmcintosh> wish i could get my usb video card working
[17:17] <cmcintosh> i wanting to get a double head setup going
[17:17] <Artemis3> alexstrand7, if it works, yes, simply upgrade packages when they are available.
[17:17] <Namib> Any ideas about how to resolve it?
[17:17] <wiherek> ok, but how do I search for hidden files?
[17:18] <Yaaaaaa> wiherek: I like to use a terminal: sudo locate "filename"
[17:18] <Artemis3> alexstrand7, you might want to join #ubuntu+1
[17:22] <sambagirl> how do you locate an application that has been created in the main menu?  i am looking for the directory the application is stored in.  I run Ubuntu 10.10 btw
[17:22] <DasEi> wiherek: locate is a good tip, but before do a sudo updatedb (depending on hd-size can take some minutes to finish)
[17:22] <d3admau5> could somebody please help me with a reinstall issue. I installed samba through the terminal and was configuring. I messed up configuration, didn't know how to fix it so I uninstalled, and reinstalled. It still had the messed up configuration so I uninstalled and manually deleted from /etc. Now upon install no folders or files installed in /etc
[17:23] <sambagirl> i forgot about locate
[17:23] <sambagirl> thanks
[17:24] <DasEi> sambagirl: that's for searching files, to your question, most apps are found in /usr/bin  or /usr/sbin
[17:24] <sambagirl> yes thanks
[17:24] <Namib> Artemis3 still here?
[17:24] <ardian> Hello I have 2 Graphic Cards on my Dell Inspiron 1 is nvidia and the other 1 is intel, by default I think Ubuntu is using my nvidia which has optimus
[17:25] <ardian> is there a way to disable nvidia and use Intel
[17:25] <sambagirl> but now when i attempt to move something to that dreictory it wont allow it. i suppose it has permissions issues?
[17:25] <Artemis3> Namib, yes
[17:25] <sambagirl> so it's owned by root
[17:25] <Yaaaaaa> ardian: you can blacklist the nvidia module or uninstall the driver completely.
[17:25] <sambagirl> i cant recall the command for graphic gnome
[17:25] <DasEi> ardian: possibly bios let you choose, else can still use xorg.conf
[17:25] <sambagirl> i meant for root usage
[17:25] <Namib> ok, have you read the message?
[17:26] <ardian> Yaaaaaa, I did that even I uninstall it
[17:26] <sambagirl> gk somethinh?
[17:26] <DasEi> sambagirl: sudo nautilus ?
[17:26] <sambagirl> thats it thanks
[17:26] <Artemis3> Namib, i see
[17:26] <Yaaaaaa> ardian: well have you tried disabling in bios like DasEi said
[17:26] <DasEi> sambagirl: gksudo, better
[17:26] <Artemis3> Namib, we can try something then
[17:26] <ardian> Yaaaaaa, no I haven't because there
[17:26] <ardian> was not something like that
[17:26] <DasEi> !gksudo | sambagirl
[17:27] <ardian> I have Freebios
[17:27] <Artemis3> Namib, edit the file again: sudo nano /etc/default/grub
[17:27] <Yaaaaaa> ardian: no option on whether to use pci/express/agp graphics or use built in video device... ? usually this is a standard feature.
[17:27] <d3admau5> could somebody give me a hand with reinstalling samba
[17:27] <Namib> ok, what i've to change?
[17:28] <sambagirl> yep that worked thanks!
[17:28] <DasEi> nice

[17:28] <ardian> Yaaaaaa, my GPU fan goes crazy and I think it's because of Optimus
[17:28] <Artemis3> Namib, go to line #GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480 and remove #
[17:28] <OerHeks> d3admau5, use --purge to delete all configfiles & reinstall
[17:28] <ardian> so does it short my battery life I need to find a solution
[17:29] <twoten> I need to boot into recovery mode to set passwords for my user and root
[17:29] <d3admau5> OerHeks: did that. now when i reinstall it doesn't install all files.doesn't even make a dir in /etc
[17:29] <DasEi> twoten: you want to see the flying lines of dmesg?
[17:29] <Namib> done, then?
[17:29] <twoten> yes, dmesg please, I love it
[17:29] <Artemis3> Namib, then save file, again run command: sudo update-grub
[17:30] <twoten> I need to boot up into recovery console to set some passwords
[17:30] <DasEi> twoten: (put nick in replies, please) : open a terminal ..
[17:30] <Namib> done
[17:30] <Artemis3> Namib, reboot and see
[17:30] <Namib> ok
[17:30] <twoten> DasEi: yes
[17:31] <storyteller> Hi i want one application to use on ppp0 while another to use wlan0 ,is there any way to do that?
[17:31] <DasEi> twoten: well, first let's change your grub, then I lead you to recovery-init
[17:31] <twoten> DasEi: yes
[17:31] <DasEi> twoten: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub

[17:33] <d3admau5> could somebody please help me with a reinstall issue. I installed samba through the terminal and was configuring. I messed up configuration, didn't know how to fix it so I uninstalled, and reinstalled. It still had the messed up configuration so I uninstalled and manually deleted from /etc. Now upon install no folders or files installed in /etc
[17:33] <twoten> DasEi: this won't work since I don't know my user's password
[17:33] <DasEi> save and close*

[17:35] <twoten> see you
[17:35] <DasEi> hope so
[17:35] <qubit[0|1]> hmm, I need some sort of bash trickery to make 'xvfb wkhtmltopdf' translate to just 'wkhtmltopdf' so I dont have to keep changing it on the server
[17:36] <Artemis3> grub now tries to detect resolution, and when it fails... people are left in the blank
[17:36] <qubit[0|1]> how do I alias xvfb to just do nothing, or possible just execute its argument
[17:36] <bob_____> how could I get dhcp to assign me a new ip address after I did ifdown?
[17:36] <DasEi> qubit[0|1]: you want an alias in /etc/bash.bashrc
[17:36] <bob_____> sometimes it assigns me new one, sometimes the same one
[17:36] <bob_____> is there any way to force a new one every time?
[17:36] <kurt__> Hallo
[17:36] <DasEi> bob_____: sudo dhclient
[17:38] <DasEi> qubit[0|1]: open that file as root, scroll down, enter a line like alias mycommand="this was the original ubuntu command" , save file, once in a new terminal, can use your mycommand expression
[17:41] <bob_____> sudo dhclient doesnt do anything?
[17:42] <nvz> after removing notify-osd and replacing it with notification-daemon my screen now blanks after about 5min when it did not before. I have the screensaver prefs all disabled, I even have tried xset s off and it still does it. I have noticed that power options are no longer in my system menu nor is there a link to it from screensaver prefs
[17:42] <nvz> I need my screen to stay on all the time, help would be appreciated
[17:43] <nvz> apparently SOMEHOW all the stuff related to power is tied in to notify-osd
[17:43] <bob_____> when I do sudo ifup eth0 I get the "bound to <IP_ADDRESS> -- renewal in 1330 seconds"
[17:43] <bob_____> any way to force it to assign me a new ip besides that one?
[17:44] <DasEi> bob_____: no requests ? try sudo service networking restart then
[17:44] <compdoc> bob_, youre connected directly to the internet?
[17:45] <bob_____> DasEi: doing that releases it, it doesnt start it back up tho
[17:45] <twoten> I set my user and root passwords, I took "quiet splash" out of grub.cfg, but I still get a black no signal screen during grub and dmesg
[17:45] <bob_____> i have to do ifup eth0 manually
[17:45] <teligard2> Hi all
[17:45] <bob_____> and when I do that I get that IP assigned
[17:46] <DasEi> bob_____: what a device is your comp connected to ?
[17:46] <teligard2> can you set up a diskless server and have the dhcp server be different than the hosting file server?
[17:47] <bob_____> DasEi: a modem..on windows if I disable the connection and just edit the adapter's mac address I get assigned a new one after I enable it
[17:47] <DasEi> teligard2: yes
[17:47] <teligard2> I have my network connected to a gigabit switch and my dhcp server is on a free standing pc
[17:47] <DasEi> bob_____: maybe it's ppoe then, what does sudo ppoeconfig do ?
[17:47] <bob_____> how can I spoof the mac address on ubuntu then
[17:48] <bob_____> DasEi: doesnt exist
[17:48] <teligard2> Could someone point me in a good direction to set up diskless booting of ubuntu (11.10)?  This is a maiden voyage for me
[17:49] <bob_____> how can I spoof the mac address on ubuntu then
[17:49] <DasEi> bob_____: maybe it's ppoe then, what does sudo pppoeconf do ? (wrong command above)
[17:49] <bob_____> i've done locate ppoe
[17:49] <bob_____> there are no files
[17:50] <bob_____> with that name
[17:50] <jtrucks> erm. how do I figure out what package contains a library or file I am hunting down?
[17:50] <DasEi> bob_____: man pppoeconf ?
[17:50] <bob_____> DasEi: no manual entry
[17:50] <teligard2> bob___: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-your-network-card-mac-address-on-ubuntu.html
[17:50] <trism> jtrucks: if it is installed, dpkg -S file; if not, you can install apt-file, apt-file update then apt-file search file;
[17:51] <jtrucks> apt-file... okay thanks tons :)

[17:57] <prashant_123456> how to use command line mail client to check mail
[17:57] <compdoc> type mail, I think
[17:57] <teligard2> DasEi: Ok, so this directs the traffic to the server.  Is there any form of walkthrough for setting up the necessary services, etc. and configuring the bootserver?  This would appear to be a client side configuration change, which doesn't seem to match up with PXE/remote boot, as no files would be local.
[17:58] <Nutily> how i can now what my video card on dell inspirion 1520 is working..?
[17:58] <prashant_123456> compdoc, program not installed
[17:58] <teligard2> Or am I misunderstanding (just slap me if I'm misunderstanding, and hopefully explain the errors of my ways)
[17:58] <compdoc> prashant_123456, I think you have to install mail-utils
[17:58] <prashant_123456> compdoc, ok i see
[17:59] <prashant_123456> compdoc, could not locate
[18:00] <GirlyGirl> Nutily: Check the model with "lspci -v"
[18:00] <compdoc> prashant_123456, hmm, try mailutils
[18:01] <prashant_123456> compdoc, dont want to install mail server
[18:01] <prashant_123456> compdoc, just want to check mail from terminal
[18:02] <prashant_123456> compdoc, can send mail using ssmtp
[18:02] <DasEi> teligard2: I'm not sure if I understand you right, if you alter the settings, it'll be permanent on the bootserver
[18:02] <compdoc> GNU mailutils utilities for handling mail. This package contains the GNU mailutils versions of dotlock, frm, from maidag, mail, messages, mimeview, movemail, readmsg and sieve. They are capable of speaking POP3, IMAP, mbox, MH and Maildir.
[18:02] <compdoc> dont think its a server
[18:03] <teligard2> ok
[18:03] <prashant_123456> compdoc, i checked it out on web it says it include pop 3 server etc
[18:04] <Nutily> GirlyGirl, seems like it is there how can i test it...
