[09:44] <Nikkk> petan : I've done what i was asked to do yesterday..strangely now, it started working fine now..I have set the root password ! ;)
[09:44] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  You could edit the .history file i guess..  ive never needed to do that.
[09:45] <sresu> sagaci: Editting the file doesn't help
[09:45] <petan> Nick_Meister: why you need www-data
[09:45] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  its cached i imagine is the reason you dont see the changes
[09:46] <Nikkk> petan : lol...I seriously don't understand how it got fixed today....I've purged n reinstalled thrice, however it didnt work..well, all is well now..thank you :)
[09:46] <fep> Dr_Willis: im behind some firewalls in the university, so ... but when im home it could be a security risk?
[09:46] <fep> i have no router at home
[09:46] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  history command, (man history) may have some way to do it also.
[09:46] <Dr_Willis> fep:   could be but proberly not.
[09:46] <fep> Dr_Willis: ok, thanks... weird if some system updates messed up anything
[09:46] <Nick_Meister> petan, do i need to reboot or something?
[09:47] <petan> Nick_Meister: logout
[09:47] <petan> Nick_Meister: that is all
[09:47] <Nick_Meister> kk cool
[09:47] <Nick_Meister> petan, thanks for the help
[09:47] <sagaci> sresu: history -c to clear
[09:47] <jackaface> Hi, im  finding that ftp puts using /usr/bin/ftp are f**ing up my files, the md5sums do not match
[09:48] <sresu> sagaci: That would clear whole of bash commands. I want to delete a particular one
[09:48] <petan> jackaface: try better client
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> jackaface:  be sure they are getting  transfered in binary mode perhaps.
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> jackaface:  using ssh instead of ftp - is proberly a good idea also.
[09:48] <jackaface> petan: do you know any? an ncurses based thing would be nice
[09:49] <petan> jackaface: gftp has command line interface
[09:49] <Nick_Meister> petan, hi i also got another question i chowned a directory and then i chmodded it with g+rw but when i ls it, says Permission denied
[09:50] <petan> Nick_Meister: are you member of group
[09:50] <Nick_Meister> petan, i just logged back in and im not in sudoers again :(
[09:50] <petan> Nick_Meister: try ls -l then past that line
[09:50] <jackaface> Dr_Willis: petan ok thans for the advice
[09:50] <Dr_Willis> I cant find the URL for the 'why ftp must die' site.. :)
[09:51] <Nick_Meister> petan,  it seems i got kicked out of the adm group again somehow
[09:51] <petan> Nick_Meister: you probably messed it and it was restored
[09:51] <petan> Nick_Meister: can you pm me that line before you save it?
[09:51] <Nick_Meister> petan, im still in group but i removed my entry from sudoers thinking that if i was part of adm group i could still sudo but aparantly not
[09:52] <meway> Hello anyone know the best ways to get dvd's to work on ubuntu 9.10?
[09:52] <petan> Nick_Meister: can you sudo
[09:52] <meway> not vlc
[09:52] <Nick_Meister> petan, no
[09:52] <petan> Nick_Meister: reboot again and keep yourself in sudoers
[09:53] <sagaci> how's ubuntu with wireless mice
[09:53] <Nick_Meister> petan, but why is it not working this makes no sense
[09:53] <WilliamHerry> is vmware available on ubuntu
[09:53] <petan> Nick_Meister: those files are restored if damaged
[09:53] <sresu> Dr_Willis: sagaci: Can I delete the bash_history file as well?
[09:53] <Dr_Willis> meway:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  that will delete the history..  but why are you bothering with all this...
[09:54] <sagaci> sresu: don't know, my knowledge only goes so far
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  all the bash's sortof share the same history.. so the file is cached.. and may not do exactly what you want.
[09:54] <sagaci> sresu: is it a security breach
[09:54] <william_> ??
[09:55] <sresu> Dr_Willis: Alright, thanks.
[09:55] <sresu> sagaci: Major crash kinda. But anyways thanks
[09:56] <sagaci> sresu: history -d <command number>
[09:56] <sresu> sagaci: What will that do?
[09:56] <sresu> sagaci: history -c or -d?
[09:57] <Dr_Willis> 'man history' :) to learn about history command
[09:57] <Dr_Willis> -c = clear all
[09:58] <sagaci> sresu: -d
[09:58] <sresu> sagaci: But, that won't help either as Dr_Willis says all tty would reflect same history
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> i saw some 'bash history cheat sheet' somewhere
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  No they dont do it that way.. try it and see..
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> sresu:  when you close a shell. it saves stuff to the history file..
[09:59] <sresu> Yes
[09:59] <sagaci> sresu: what exactly do you want to do, delete a specific command?
[09:59] <sresu> sagaci:
[09:59] <sagaci> sresu: in ur history
[09:59] <sresu> Yes
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> if you have 2 terminals.. clear ones history.. close it last. i THINK the history will be emtpty for all new shells then
[09:59] <sagaci> what number in your history is it
[09:59] <sresu> 20011
[09:59] <sagaci> history -d 20011
[10:00] <sresu> sagaci:  Done with it. It repeats anyways
[10:00] <yukewei> ...
[10:00] <sresu> Dr_Willis: Trying that
[10:00] <sagaci> sresu: what do you mean repeats
[10:00] <sagaci> I've just done it now and it's worked fine
[10:00] <Nick_Meister> petan, ok readded myself but still the same problem
[10:00] <yukewei> hello everyone
[10:00] <Dr_Willis> i cant check..  sresu  because I am in a shell running weechat. :) so i cant close all my shells...
[10:00] <sresu> sagaci: The moment one press the arrow keys, it repeats
[10:01] <petan> Nick_Meister: can you tell me how te line looks
[10:01] <Sn4k3> Is it just me or is Firefox in Ubuntu slower than in windows.
[10:01] <Nick_Meister> petan, with the directory listing, i can list it with sudo but not otherwise and i know added myself to the roup
[10:01] <petan> Nick_Meister: in /etc/group
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> Sn4k3:  ive not noticed it being slower..
[10:01] <sresu> Dr_Willis: Yeah, I'll try that :)
[10:01] <Charbel> hi when installing the upgrades of ubuntu 10.10 i got this "replace the customized configuration file '/etc/update-manager/release-upgrades'? you will lose any changes you have made to this configuration file if you choose to replace it with a newer version." (with details about diff. btw the files) so what should i choose "keep" or "replace" ???
[10:01] <petan> Nick_Meister: so you are now in adm?
[10:01] <Nick_Meister> petan, adm:4:cha0s
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> Sn4k3:  now FLASH  is not optmized under linux..
[10:01] <petan> Nick_Meister: what is wrong
[10:01] <Sn4k3> ohhh
[10:01] <Sn4k3> k
[10:01] <petan> Nick_Meister: adm:4:x:cha0s
[10:01] <Nick_Meister> petan, yes im in adm but sudoers defines %admin not adm
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> Charbel:  if you have edited the file  keep it.. if not  replace it...
[10:02] <petan> Nick_Meister: adm:x:4:cha0s is right
[10:02] <yukewei> 有中国人么？
[10:02] <Nick_Meister> petan, yah its like that i mis typed T.T
[10:02] <petan> Nick_Meister: ass yourself to admin too
[10:02] <Nick_Meister> petan, there is no admin
[10:03] <sagaci> sresu: do the history -d 20011 then edit out the line in your ~/bash_history file, save it then done
[10:03] <petan> Nick_Meister: if you are to modify sudoer than set password to root
[10:03] <petan> Nick_Meister: then keep it
[10:03] <Maahes> If I'm having an issue with my touchpad and wanted to report a bug, where should I post it to? the kernel?
[10:03] <Nick_Meister> petan, but what about the directory listing tho?
[10:03] <Charbel> Dr_Willis, how can i know if the file was edited b4 ?
[10:03] <petan> Nick_Meister: are you now in the group?
[10:04] <Mayazcherquoi> Guys, what would be the best Ubuntu-based distribution that is easy to use for the first time user and can smoothly run no a Compaq Armada E500 (128mb RAM, 20GB HDD, @ 850MHz)?
[10:04] <petan> Nick_Meister: what permissions are on directory
[10:04] <Mayazcherquoi> s/no/on/;
[10:04] <Maahes> Mayazcherquoi: Lubuntu
[10:04] <Dr_Willis> Charbel:  did you edit it? Its basuically telling you that it has changed/been edited.. have it show you the differances.. they maybe somthing trivial like a comment added;/moved
[10:04] <Mayazcherquoi> Maahes: Okay, thanks :)
[10:04] <Nick_Meister> petan, drwxrwxr-x 3 www-data www-data
[10:04] <Maahes> although, even then, I'd say upgrade your ram if you can.
[10:04] <petan> Nick_Meister: are you a member of that group?
[10:04] <sagaci> Dr_Willis: learned something :)
[10:05] <Nick_Meister> petan, thats how i got into this whole mess so yes
[10:05] <Dr_Willis> sagaci:  oh? Im sorry.. :P
[10:05] <petan> Nick_Meister: change the line as I told you
[10:05] <aLeSD> hi all
[10:05] <Nick_Meister> petan, which one?
[10:05] <petan> Nick_Meister: and open terminal with sudo su
[10:05] <petan> Nick_Meister: and keep that terminal for emergency
[10:05] <Dr_Willis> use sudo -s, not sudo su.....
[10:05] <Nick_Meister> petan, ok done
[10:05] <sagaci> Dr_Willis: you need to history -d <histcmdnumber> then edit out the command in ~/bash_history and save it, then command gone
[10:05] <sresu> Dr_Willis: sagaci: Anyways, I did history -c. I took the backup of the previous file if required. history -c cleared the whole of it even in tty which I checked by Alt+F1etc. So, no worries. Thanks :)
[10:05] <aLeSD> I have an acer d255 and I can't install 10.10 . Syslog says that parted crashed
[10:05] <Mayazcherquoi> Maahes: Does it include the Ubuntu Software Centre, GTK/KDE runtime libraries etc, for easy application installation?
[10:06] <sresu> sagaci: Yesh, trried that. That works
[10:06] <petan> Nick_Meister: now add yoursel to end of the line
[10:06] <petan> Nick_Meister: do not remove :x:
[10:06] <aLeSD> So it stays forever on the screen when it tells me that is good to have the computer conected to the current and to the net
[10:07] <Nick_Meister> petan, k done
[10:07] <aLeSD> someone could help me ?
[10:07] <petan> Nick_Meister: are you still in sudoers
[10:07] <Maahes> Mayazcherquoi: They're all there yes. By default it uses a suite of GTK apps, small and light ones, appropiate for older machines
[10:07] <petan> Nick_Meister: keep yourself there and relog
[10:07] <Nick_Meister> petan,  kk
[10:08] <sresu> Ctrl+Alt+F1 *
[10:08] <Maahes> Mayazcherquoi: if ubuntu software center is not installed by default (but I'm pretty sure it is) you can install it easily.
[10:08] <Charbel> Dr_Willis, did u get my pvt message ?
[10:09] <Nick_Meister> petan, ok im in
[10:09] <the_sin> coucou
[10:09] <Hypnus9> hello...I just installed maverick, and it is not detecting my BOSS GT-10 as a soundcard as it did in the past...is there something I can do for this to be done. It is usb, BTW.
[10:09] <Mayazcherquoi> Maahes: Okay, thanks.
[10:09] <petan> Nick_Meister: works?
[10:09] <Nick_Meister> petan, sudo still works even without the sudoers file yes, but the directory listing still dont
[10:09] <Dr_Willis> Charbel:  yes i got the flood of stuff..   looks like 1 line has changed.. the + and -, so use the new one  or not. i doubt if i twill matter much
[10:09] <Maahes> what's the command to get your kernel version?
[10:10] <Mayazcherquoi> Maahes: Hang on, he's now saying he has more than 128mb of RAM but is unsure. How can I find this information out via terminal?
[10:10] <petan> Nick_Meister: do not change sudoers unless you can gain root access somehow
[10:10] <WilliamHerry> unamr -r Maahes
[10:10] <Dr_Willis> Charbel:  its about wether to upgrade only from LTS to LTS or LTS to -> NonLTS updated.
[10:10]  * Mayazcherquoi has never had to do this before, lol
[10:10] <Charbel> ok thx
[10:10] <petan> Nick_Meister: paste the line from group
[10:10] <the_sin> someone know the adress of french ubuntu Irc channel?
[10:11] <Dr_Willis> !fr

[10:12] <Hypnus9> hello...I just installed maverick, and it is not detecting my BOSS GT-10 as a soundcard as it did in the past...is there something I can do for this to be done.  USB sound
[10:13] <Dr_Willis> !sound
[10:14] <Dr_Willis> Hypnus9:  unplug/plug it back in.. check dmesg output. see if it shows up in the pulse tools perhaps.. Ive never had a usb sound gizmo
[10:14] <petan> Nick_Meister: paste group
[10:14] <petan> Nick_Meister: somewhere
[10:14] <Hypnus9> OK, DR. Willis...thanks

[10:16] <sresu> How to start X session using CLI after its crash?
[10:16] <Mayazcherquoi> Maahes: Okay, he has 307mb of RAM. Would Lubuntu still be his best bet for ease-of-use and feature richness? What about Xubuntu?
[10:16] <Jakx2010> Mayazcherquoi:  more ram the better\ install moer
[10:16] <Mayazcherquoi> He can't/doesn't want to waste the money.
[10:17] <Mayazcherquoi> So what would be the best OS for him?
[10:17] <petan> Nick_Meister: you should be able to open it without being in that group
[10:17] <Mayazcherquoi> Xubuntu of Lubuntu?
[10:17] <petan> Nick_Meister: all has +r
[10:17] <Mayazcherquoi> *or
[10:17] <zcat[1]> Mayazcherquoi:  mintDE
[10:17] <Nick_Meister> petan, :::(
[10:18] <petan> Nick_Meister: what is name of directory
[10:18] <Mayazcherquoi> zcat[1]: He has 307mb of RAM, on an Intel Pentium 3 850MHz processor.
[10:18] <Nick_Meister> petan, gsargs
[10:18] <petan> Nick_Meister: full
[10:18] <petan> Nick_Meister: I need path
[10:18] <Mayazcherquoi> Guys
[10:18] <Mayazcherquoi> :/
[10:18] <zcat[1]> Mayazcherquoi:  I'm running Mind on 977MHz machines with 256M ram no problem
[10:18] <zcat[1]> *mint
[10:19] <zcat[1]> Mayazcherquoi:  should be fine on your hardware
[10:19] <Nick_Meister> petan, nvm aparantly the root directory did not have read access on it for some reason wow
[10:19] <Nick_Meister> petan, i did chmod -R it changed everything under it but not the directory itself aparantly
[10:19] <Mayazcherquoi> zcat[1]: He's already tried Mint! It was unbearably slow!
[10:19] <Mayazcherquoi> So, Xubuntu or Lubuntu for his computer? :S
[10:19] <petan> Nick_Meister: -r changes recursively all
[10:20] <petan> Nick_Meister: including directory, if you did not -r *
[10:20] <sresu> What's the alternative brought up for Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restore from session crashes?
[10:20] <zcat[1]> Mayazcherquoi:  which mint? I'm using the debian-based one...
[10:20] <Mayazcherquoi> zcat[1]: He was using the Ubuntu based one..
[10:20] <Nick_Meister> petan, but my webserver cant access it anymore
[10:20] <Mayazcherquoi> Not Mint Debian
[10:20] <bytecode> Mayazcherquoi, I recently read a comparison of Lubuntu, Xubuntu and Ubuntu.  It found that Xubuntu typically used more resources than Ubuntu, and that Lubuntu was the least resource hungry, however this was on 10.04, and I can't find the link to the article
[10:20] <petan> Nick_Meister: tell me path
[10:20] <zcat[1]> so try mint debian
[10:20] <Nick_Meister> petan, /home/cha0s/Documents/gsargs
[10:21] <Maahes> Mayazcherquoi: Lubuntu is probably still better. Xubuntu is really not all that more fast than Gnome.
[10:21] <petan> Nick_Meister: do chmod -r g+rw /home/cha0s/Documents/gsargs
[10:21] <Maahes> Additionally, I know many people who find the openbox WM easier to use and more intuitive.
[10:21] <Nick_Meister> petan, d-wxrwx--x  6 www-data www-data    4096 2010-11-15 02:01 gsargs

[10:22] <Nick_Meister> petan, chmod: cannot access `g+rw': No such file or directory
[10:22] <v> test
[10:22] <Maahes> personally AwesomeWM is my idea of intuitive. ^_^
[10:23] <rocket16> What is the Arabic channel for Ubuntu?
[10:23] <Dr_Willis> !ar
[10:23] <Dr_Willis> hmm thats not it...
[10:23] <jpds> !sa
[10:23] <petan> Nick_Meister: do chmod -R ug+rw a+r ~/Documents/gsargs
[10:23] <jpds> Hmm, didn't think that would work.
[10:23] <Nick_Meister> petan, whats ug?
[10:24] <rocket16> !arabic
[10:24] <rocket16> Got it, thanks Dr_Willis
[10:24] <petan> Nick_Meister: download mc, then run it and open permissions on forlder
[10:24] <Nick_Meister> petan, chmod: cannot access `a+r': No such file or directory
[10:24] <Dr_Willis> Nick_Meister:  i think you did a typo.
[10:24] <petan> Nick_Meister: run it with sudo mc
[10:25] <erUSUL> Nick_Meister: you made a mistake in the options ordering...
[10:25] <Nick_Meister> i pasted it in
[10:25] <Nick_Meister> :(
[10:25] <Dr_Willis> !permissions
[10:25] <Osmosis> good morning someone know the difference between if-down.d if-post.down.d in network folder?
[10:25] <Dr_Willis> -r comes after the a+r or whatever. i think
[10:26] <Osmosis> how much time the if-post.down.d is executed the script inside there after the network is lost
[10:26] <petan> Nick_Meister: I was wrong but try mc anyway, -r must be after ug+rw
[10:26] <petan> Nick_Meister: mc is better for this
[10:26] <Nick_Meister> petan, ok i ran mc
[10:26] <xro> Hi, I'm looking for a tools that is able to create a map of a network... What should i use?  (provide a iprange and get a good network map with routers and subnet and so on...)

[10:31] <petan> stay: for others you need to configure compiz
[10:32] <Nick_Meister> petan, or can i only do this for everybody?
[10:32] <petan> Nick_Meister: tell me what you see all except rwx for group and owner should be unchecked
[10:33] <Nick_Meister> petan, there is nothing for group, its either owner or everybody

[10:36] <tergus> would anyone know how to get a Broadcom 43?22 wifi adapter to work properly
[10:37] <xukun>  I would like to pass digital audio completely unaltered ("bit-stream") to  my SPDIF output - Can this be done with pulseaudio?
[10:37] <ravi__> when i minimize the window it disappearing..........
[10:37] <sandGorgon> tarzeau, try installing "b43-fwcutter" package
[10:38] <randy_> can you tell me how to use PPA mirror(can it do this?)
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> !ppa
[10:39] <ravi__> plz help me new user
[10:39] <Dr_Willis> ravi__:  be a bit more clear in your qwuestions and problems.
[10:39] <aeMaeth> tergus, is the answer ndiswrapper?
[10:40] <randy_> but PPA has mirror?
[10:40] <nomad21> yes ravi
[10:40] <Dr_Willis> randy_: PPA's are normally not mirrors. there could be  differnt ppa's I guess that have the same stuff.
[10:40] <blackshirt> i think it was personal mirror
[10:41] <tergus> i tried using nidswrapper with bcmwl6 &bcmwl5.inf, but it says both are invalid drivers
[10:41] <ravi__> when i minimize the window it just disappearing.........whats the reason
[10:41] <randy_> Oh,no,in China PPA is very slowly
[10:41] <nomad21> i have a 40GB HDD a (256+128)MB RAM with intel celeron processor can i run ubuntu?
[10:41] <blackshirt> randy_: what you want from ppa repository ??
[10:41] <randy_> for office server ,I can use 163.com mirror
[10:41] <blackshirt> nomad21: yes, exactly you can
[10:42] <randy_> blackchook, fcitx,a soft like ibus
[10:42] <nomad21> can anyone help?
[10:42] <bytecode> nomad21, Lubuntu might run a little better on that specification
[10:42] <blackshirt> nomad21: but, i think you should use ubuntu-based for low resources like xubuntu
[10:43] <Dr_Willis> randy_:  what window?  try alt-tab?
[10:43] <bytecode> nomad21, do you want to run it as a desktop machine or as a server? Do you want a Graphical desktop or just text only?

[10:46] <Dr_Willis> nomad21:  for a desktop setup. You are better off installing the desktop edition. instead of installing the server edition then 'converting' it to desktop.

[10:56] <David_ykw> you can check apt-get install + name
[10:57] <randy_> ikonia, I don't have X
[10:57] <ikonia> randy_: use a machine that does
[10:57] <blackshirt> randy_: you can use apt on terminal too
[10:57] <David_ykw> for example apt-get install xchat
[10:57] <ikonia> randy_: you're using X-chat - so I can see your using an X11 machine
[10:57] <ikonia> randy_: https://help.ubuntu.com

[10:59] <murlidhar> can anyone help me rectify it....
[10:59] <tergus> blackshirt: you want jockey.log?

[11:00] <randy_> ikonia, what shall I search ? I don't know the key
[11:00] <blackshirt> tergus: okey..maybe it can help
[11:00] <Guest87657> Hi there could someone tell me if I can configure my computer to get better upload speeds when downloading?
[11:01] <tergus> blackshirt: i pasted jockey.log
[11:01] <ikonia> randy_: it's menu driven
[11:01] <murlidhar> Guest87657: that totally depends on the bandwidth of your internet service provider.
[11:01] <ikonia> randy_: apply common sense, select the version you're using, then select the catagory about managing software
[11:01] <Guest87657> Oh right I see murlidhar basically when I am downloading I cant browse internet get error message timeouts
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> Guest87657:  downloading how exactly?
[11:02] <Guest87657> Well I use utorrent Dr_Willis
[11:02] <Dr_Willis> Guest87657:  torrent cleitns have a limit settings...
[11:03] <murlidhar> Guest87657: if you want to download torrents while browsing then maybe it is better for you to cap the bandwidth using the settings of your torrent client.
[11:04] <blackshirt> tergus: where your jockey.log link ?? i can't see it
[11:04] <Guest87657> Well I have just done a speed test Dr_Willis I aint using using utorrent now getting 9.74mb download and under a meg upload
[11:04] <Dr_Willis> Guest87657:  so? thats telling us what exactly?
[11:04] <tergus> blackshirt:oh,  you mean this http://paste.ubuntu.com/532267/ sorry
[11:05] <blackshirt> tergus: wait a minute
[11:05] <Dr_Willis> I got a big 1.3mb down and .3mb up. :) cheapest isp plan.
[11:05] <Guest87657> That I have 10meg broadband download speeds are ok but upload is bad is there any configurations in ubuntu I can do or is a poss firewall the problem?
[11:06] <Dr_Willis> Guest87657:  web sites timeing out are not related to your 'upload' speeds for the most part.
[11:06] <randy_> ikonia, I think you treat xunya is not best way,he don't know what you say and him must be a new to IRC
[11:06] <randy_> ikonia, most normal Chinese use QQ( you can use install EVA to try it,EVA is not QQ office soft,QQ linux)
[11:07] <murlidhar> can anyone help me reset vlc settings ?
[11:07] <xueya> 是xueya
[11:07] <Guest87657> What could it be then Dr_Willis any ideas?
[11:07] <xueya> 不要改我的名字
[11:07] <greppy> !cn | xueya
[11:07] <Dr_Willis> murlidhar:  they are in   ~/.config/vlc    it seems
[11:07] <JoeMaverickSett> xueya: /join #ubuntu-cn
[11:07] <murlidhar> ah thanks Dr_Willis
[11:08] <Dr_Willis> Guest87657:  clarify what the actual problem is..   I think we have gotten sidetracked.
[11:08] <murlidhar> Dr_Willis: actually i have installed mozilla-plugin-vlc but it doesn't seem to work at all so i hoping it might help me ....
[11:08] <Guest87657> The main problem is when I download using utorrent I cant pretty much browse whereas before it was never a problem?
[11:08] <murlidhar> was*
[11:09] <randy_> ikonia, I know,you say aptitude,isnot is?
[11:09] <Dr_Willis> Guest87657:  set your torrent client downlioad and upload speeds to be less then your max's torents can vary greately depending on  how many seeds/peers are  in use.
[11:09] <murlidhar> Guest87657: likewise .... cap the bandwidth in utorrent
[11:10] <Guest87657> Any suggestions what I should cap it too?
[11:10] <Dr_Willis> Guest87657:  somtuing lower then your max....
[11:11] <Dr_Willis> Guest87657:  its not like its hard to change it later...
[11:11] <randy_> xueya,请私聊。| ikonia I'm sorry,I want solve it

[11:37] <LacOperon> thanks pokrak
[11:37] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis, no, I just checked
[11:37] <Dr_Willis> noobie14:  /query nickname or /msg nickname   - it can depend on the irc client
[11:38] <EvaLuaTe> hello
[11:38] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis, maybe it doesn't know what ~ is?
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  thats what i was thinking..
[11:38] <EvaLuaTe> I have packaged a new program and created a PPA for it. What would be the next steps to get it into ubuntu?
[11:38] <Dr_Willis>  Kartagis  whoch would be odd.. but  i rarely use the ~/type paths
[11:38] <erUSUL> EvaLuaTe: ask in #ubuntu-motu
[11:38] <erUSUL> !packaging
[11:38] <EvaLuaTe> erUSUL, ok, thank you!
[11:39] <LacOperon> my another question is that how do i move something from desktop to /var folder? whenever i try it says that i do not have permission
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  so you are just doing a 'cd ~/icons/png' then 'sudo -s'   and it gives that error?
[11:39] <Kartagis> Dr_Willis, I got the problem. I deleted the folder from nautilus and just forgot doing it
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> LacOperon:  you need to use proper sudo/root permissions./
[11:39] <erUSUL> !permissions | LacOperon
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> LacOperon:  what are you atrying to move?
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> Kartagis:  :)
[11:40] <LacOperon> its a php file that would like to move to /var/www/
[11:40] <Dr_Willis> sudo mv whatever.php /var/www/
[11:41] <LacOperon> no such file or directory
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> use a proper file name... of course....
[11:41] <LacOperon> i did
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> use Tab completion.. you proberly did a typo
[11:42] <pokrak> sudo mv *.php /var/www/
[11:43] <petan> pokrak: are you sure about it
[11:43] <LacOperon> doesn't work :(
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> LacOperon:  and whats the exact command you are using...
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> and are the php files in the cuirrent directory?
[11:44] <LacOperon> php file is on desktop
[11:44] <iPython> hey guys, I just installed the 'windows exe' version of ubuntu - or at least I tried to. When I reboot, the ubuntu option is there but it stalls on it's only message "Try DEV 0,0 ....." I am running win 7 pro. The only reason I thought this may be a good option is because I'm trying to access "localhost" data on both win and linux from the same pc (necessary for work >.<). Any help would be much appreciated! =)
[11:44] <Dr_Willis> LacOperon:  so you are cd'd to the Desktop directory then?  does 'ls' show them?
[11:45] <LacOperon> yes it does
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> iPython:  localhost data? linux can read/write to NTFS filesystems, even if doing a 'normal' dual boot type install.
[11:45] <petan> LacOperon: what command you use
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> LacOperon:  give full paths..   'sudo mv /home/yoruusername/Desktop/whatever.php /var/www'
[11:45] <madjoe> hey guys... can you help me to remove old kernels that I don't need, please? I'm in my Synaptic, looking for linux-image...
[11:45] <LacOperon> sudo mv testfile.php /var/www/
[11:45] <LacOperon> k will try that
[11:46] <iPython> oh ok, for some reason I figured this couldn't happen with google app engine datastores - just because of the lack of documentation on this particular matter. thanks
[11:46] <madjoe> can I completely remove all generic linux-image items?
[11:46] <petan> madjoe: do you see kernels in apt?
[11:46] <madjoe> petan: apt?
[11:46] <petan> madjoe: or synaptics
[11:46] <mylisto> for some reason my microphone jack is not working on my ubuntu installation...it works on the win 7 boot..but not ubuntu
[11:46] <pokrak> LacOperon: use mc this is tools like ortoncommander
[11:46] <zamba> is it possible to change the default system language post-install using gconf?
[11:46] <pokrak> try sudo mc
[11:46] <madjoe> petan: Synaptic Package Mgr
[11:46] <LacOperon> ok
[11:46] <mylisto> under audio input I only have a internal audio analog stereo
[11:46] <pokrak> if dosent workk install it sudo aptitude install mc
[11:46] <petan> madjoe: if you see old kernels there
[11:47] <petan> madjoe: I usually remove them manually, but this way is probably better
[11:47] <LacOperon> pokrak: command not found
[11:47] <petan> LacOperon: apt-get install mc
[11:47] <alket> is there any app that search text in many documents ?
[11:47] <pokrak> LacOperon: instal it sudo aptitude install c
[11:47] <madjoe> petan: I see a big list, but not sure what to remove and can I completely remove something from the list
[11:47] <pokrak> LacOperon: instal it sudo aptitude install mc
[11:47] <Dr_Willis> alket:  'grep'
[11:47] <alket> Dr_Willis, CLI ?
[11:47] <ilab> Is there a script or program that I can put into /etc/rc6.d to  display a splash screen
[11:48] <petan> madjoe: do you see more that one installed kernel?
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> alket:  yes.. grep is a command line tool.. been used for tha ttask for many many many years...
[11:48] <Dr_Willis> alket:  its worth learning
[11:48] <madjoe> petan: yes, my uname -r returrns that one
[11:48] <Sakr2008> I am gonna need help here please , I followed the guide for customising livecd ubuntu, and installed fluxbox I even added the fluxbox-menu into /etc/skel/.fluxbox the cd was re-generated  without a problem , however fluxbox not the default wm any ideas?
[11:48] <alket> Dr_Willis, thank you
[11:48] <petan> ilab: splash is initialised with splash argument in grub
[11:48] <petan> madjoe: I mean in synaptic
[11:48] <madjoe> petan: yes
[11:49] <Dr_Willis> is there even a splash screen feature any more? I thought Plymouth basically took over the feature.
[11:49] <madjoe> petan: it's linux-image-2.6.31-22-generic
[11:49] <petan> madjoe: then you can remove kernels you do not use
[11:49] <petan> madjoe: do not remove all of them
[11:50] <petan> madjoe: tell me when you finish
[11:50] <madjoe> petan: yes, that's my question.. which ones and can I mark them for complete removal?
[11:50] <Sakr2008> I forgot to mention the live cd I am using Ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-i386
[11:50] <alket> Dr_Willis, is kinda slow
[11:50] <petan> madjoe: remove those with lower version number than you now use
[11:50] <Dr_Willis> Sakr2008:  there is a .dmrc that can define what desktop to use by default. or else you have to select  the one you want at the gdm scrren the first time
[11:50] <LacOperon> worked with mc, thanks
[11:51] <Dr_Willis> alket:  grep slow? never noticed...
[11:51] <pokrak> :)
[11:51] <Dr_Willis> alket:  it always finishes my shearches befor i blink...
[11:51] <pokrak> LacOperon: for gnome GUI u have gnome-commander
[11:51] <madjoe> petan: I can find linux-image-2.6.31-307-ec2, linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic, linux-image-2.6.31-15-generic, etc. that are not marked... so should I just completely remove those things?
[11:51] <alket> Dr_Willis, is this the right command to search in specified directory "grep -r "wp_list_pages""
[11:52] <madjoe> petan: or should I just remove "linux-image-2.6.31-XX-generic", where XX is lower than my current kernel number?
[11:52] <Dr_Willis>  grep [OPTIONS] PATTERN [FILE...]
[11:52] <petan> madjoe: you can remove all you do not use, if you use 2.6.31-307 then remove others
[11:52] <Sakr2008> Thanks Dr_Willis I will give that a try now.
[11:52] <farimi> hi all
[11:52] <noobie14> hi
[11:53] <madjoe> petan: just to doublecheck - a complete removal is ok?
[11:53] <farimi> hi noobie14
[11:53] <petan> madjoe: what is complete removal, there is only remove or purge
[11:53] <pokrak> remove purge
[11:53] <petan> madjoe: do only remove
[11:54] <farimi> i am trying to figure out what happened to my networking - eth0 and wlan0
[11:54] <madjoe> petan: "Mark for Removal" is disabled for those old kernels.. I can see only "Mark for Complete Removal"
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> alket:  you dident tell it any filenames to look at.. so its using standard input.
[11:54] <pokrak> do remove witch purge it will be delete conf files
[11:54] <farimi> they are not functioning
[11:54] <Dr_Willis> alket:  put a * at the end.
[11:54] <alket> Dr_Willis, thanks
[11:54] <farimi> i tried googling
[11:54] <farimi> i tried the forum
[11:55] <farimi> now i hope there is somebody to help me here
[11:55] <blackshirt> farimi: hi
[11:55] <petan> madjoe: what if you type aptitude auto-remove
[11:55] <farimi> hi blackshirt
[11:55] <fkefer> hi! Where can i find help for a iptables problem? #iptables is quite silent the times i tried so far...
[11:55] <pokrak> farimi: tell more about this problem
[11:56] <farimi> blackshirt, pokrak : here goes
[11:56] <madjoe> petan: Unknown command "auto-remove" (aptitude <IP_ADDRESS>)
[11:56] <blackshirt> madjoe: it was for apt-get command
[11:56] <farimi> I have a compaq presario v3000 series
[11:56] <pokrak> majdoe try man aptitude and use some more options
[11:57] <pokrak> like force
[11:57] <Arvan> hi,i have a question. how to increase the number of workspace?
[11:58] <erUSUL> Arvan: right click on the switcher->Preferences
[11:58] <farimi> it was okay before
[11:58] <farimi> im using maverick
[11:58] <petan> madjoe: I would suggest to remove it manually that is more safe, not sure what all apt remve
[11:58] <blackshirt> madjoe: auto-remove is apt-get feature
[11:59] <Arvan> erUSUL, thanks a lot!
[11:59] <petan> madjoe: if you remove kernels from /boot but keep the last one
[11:59] <pokrak> farimi: do u use wicd ??
[11:59] <farimi> the Ethernet is Intel Pro/100 (rev 02)
[11:59] <madjoe> pokrak: I'm not familiar with aptitude.. I just typed it in my console window and I can see the interface of the aptitude now
[11:59] <erUSUL> Arvan: yw
[11:59] <farimi> pokrak : nope
[11:59] <pokrak> madjoe: use man aptitude
[11:59] <madjoe> :)
[11:59] <farimi> im using the standard nm
[12:00] <pokrak> farimi: ok its good :)
[12:00] <pokrak> ifconfig see interfaces ??
[12:00] <farimi> my wifi adapter is Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan]
[12:00] <madjoe> petan: is there any automated way of removing old kernels? it should be easier than this.
[12:01] <farimi> pokrak : yes
[12:01] <farimi> it says eth0 and Io
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  ubuntu tweak tool can do it with just a few clicks
[12:01] <pokrak> ok ip configuration is auto ??
[12:01] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  but really how many kernels do you have? Computer Janitor can also remove them I think.
[12:01] <petan> madjoe: yes if you try to remove them with apt but do not perform purge just remove you can do it by pressing - symbol on it
[12:01] <pokrak> farimi: u dont have ath0 interface
[12:01] <farimi> pokrak : eth0 with all packets are 0
[12:02] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: dpkg --list | grep linux-image (returns 4 lines)
[12:02] <pokrak> try get static ip for the eth0
[12:02] <farimi> ath0?
[12:02] <farimi> ok.. wait
[12:02] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  so you have 4 kernels?  why are you worried about it?
[12:02] <pokrak> farimi: wifi interface ath0
[12:02] <foryu_m> hi!
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  it shows 2 here.. one of them is the 'generic' kernel which is a meta-package..
[12:03] <Dr_Willis> i thinkl. :)
[12:03] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: I'm running out of disk space... the previous command returns: linux-image-2.6.31-20-generic, linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic, linux-image-2.6.31-22-generic and linux-image-generic
[12:03] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: and uname -r returns: 2.6.31-22-generic
[12:04] <farimi> my wifi interface is wlan0
[12:04] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:   You did clean out your /tmp/ and apt cache? those can be several gb here...
[12:04] <farimi> pokrak : i got it in iwconfig
[12:04] <farimi> pokrak :
[12:04] <pokrak> farimi: its the same
[12:04] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: ok, I know how to remove /tmp/, but how can I remove apt cache?
[12:04] <pokrak> farimi: in ifconfig this eitless interface is avalible ??
[12:04] <farimi> pokrak : ok, the thing is, the eth0 led is not coming up
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  sudo apt-get clean
[12:05] <jalr65> Nisstyre
[12:05] <blackshirt> madjoe: apt-get clean
[12:05] <farimi> pokrak : nope... never before
[12:05] <jalr65> ff
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  sudo apt-get autoremove        may get more stuff also..
[12:05] <pokrak> farimi: if ethernet led is not lighting u must first cgheck all cables
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  theres also that bleachbits tool for cleaning out caches and stuff
[12:05] <Dr_Willis> !info bleachbit
[12:05] <farimi> it seems that my networking , eth0 and wlan0 got no power
[12:06] <pokrak> farimi: it this case u must look for the wirless module in your kernel and load
[12:06] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: should I be concerned why not to run sudo apt-get autoremove for some reason?
[12:06] <farimi> pokrak : its the same with my wlan0, i already switch on the switch, but it is still disable
[12:06] <guitar431> Hello A Problem: Everytime i start vlc or the flashplayer is used in a browser i get failure messages in system logs who look like that "Nov 13 23:02:22 seba-desktop pulseaudio[1562]: ratelimit.c: 2 events suppressed" What could be the problem?
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  it will ask/suggest things to remove
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> my apt cache here is almost 2gb. :)
[12:07] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: is this ok? cd /tmp; rm -rf *
[12:07] <farimi> pokrak : how do i do that
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  i would use that bleachbit tool instead... to clean out /tmp/
[12:07] <pokrak> farimi: get new ethernet cable
[12:07] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: got it
[12:07] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  my /tmp/ is 64mb :)
[12:08] <madjoe> :)
[12:08] <pokrak> farimi: to load module u get wirless card name and use google to find module
[12:08] <dokuro> check
[12:08] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: sudo du -ks . returns 172... I hope those are MB :)
[12:08] <madjoe> hehe
[12:09] <farimi> :(
[12:09] <Dr_Willis> du -h = human readable #'s
[12:09] <pokrak> farimi: if u want use ubuntu or some other linux u must learn
[12:10] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: thanks... it's sounds more reasonable now.. 172K :)
[12:11] <farimi> pokrak : dont get me wrong, i ditched windows since 6.06
[12:12] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: I downloaded .deb package of that bleachbit tool... so I should use that .deb to install it, right? there's no other, more recommended way of doing this?
[12:12] <pokrak> farimi: i dont reamber every think
[12:12] <Yopy> How to configure proxy with Active Directory authentication to do apt-get on ubuntu 10.10 server please ?
[12:12] <Guest18820> Hi could someone tell me if I can remove Ubuntu without having to reformat and lose my windows partition?
[12:12] <farimi> and IRC chat is the last resort after having no luck with google and forum
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  bleachbit is in the repos for 10.10
[12:13] <farimi> pokrak : i tried booting the live cd, still no luck
[12:13] <petan> Guest18820: where is your ubuntu installed
[12:13] <pokrak> farimi: in this case i gave to u seme knowledge and u must try it and find answer
[12:13] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: I'm still on Karmic
[12:13] <i5noc> !wubi | Guest18820
[12:13] <Guest18820> In which sense petan
[12:13] <farimi> pokrak : i even tried reinstalling to linux mint and lucid, all same results
[12:13] <pokrak> farimi: and my english is not enough to help u :/
[12:13] <serard> Hello all
[12:14] <i5noc> Guest18820, just check that out - its what your needing most likely
[12:14] <serard> using netstat or other tool, how can I know if there are users connected to my apache ?
[12:14] <i5noc> you can do either a full dual boot full install, or less, really nice
[12:14] <Krystian> hello
[12:14] <farimi> pokrak :....hmmm....
[12:14] <pokrak> farimi: reinstall is not a good way :) u must solve the problem
[12:14] <SmokeyD> hey everyone. Is it possible to add a static hostname resolution to an ip address from a shell script?
[12:14] <Guest18820> If I installed ubuntu via live cd can I remove it using wubi?
[12:14] <aeMaeth> !hosts | SmokeyD
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> SmokeyD:  you mean alter the /etc/hosts from a script?
[12:15] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: it's in the repos on Karmic as well.. thanks.. I got it now...
[12:15] <g0tcha> hey guys, what is the ubuntu version that installs within windows os?
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> Guest18820:  If you booted the cd. and  did a 'normal' on its own partuions install.. no.
[12:15] <g0tcha> what is that version called
[12:15] <farimi> pokrak :  i know that, but its just a way to be sure
[12:15] <SmokeyD> Dr_Willis, yeah, I guess that is what I mean. But is there a proper way to do it or do I just need to add entries to it with sed/cat/etc?
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  'wubi' is a feature/tool on the cd tht installs to a file 'inside' windows.
[12:15] <i5noc> Guest18820, you could put yoru windows disk in and go recovery and 'fixboot'
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> SmokeyD:  sed/cat/and so on i imagine.
[12:16] <g0tcha> Dr_Willis, its a feature inside the ubuntu cd?
[12:16] <i5noc> then delete the partitions
[12:16] <i5noc> then regrow them
[12:16] <pokrak> farimi: u try oldest kernels and use google to find a name of kernel modules supports your wifi card
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  'wubi.exe' is included on the cd.. or you can download wubi.exe and it will download a cd/iso file.
[12:16] <Guest18820> is it relatively easy i5noc
[12:16] <SmokeyD> Dr_Willis, ok. Thanks.
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  i dont reccomend  Wubi.
[12:16] <g0tcha> Dr_Willis, why not? just curious
[12:16] <aeMaeth> Guest18820, the fixboot will make windows forget all about ubuntu, it's quite good at ignoring it
[12:17] <zenwhen> I just installed Ubuntu after a couple years hiatus. Wow has it come a long way.
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  it has a tendency to break badly. (but thats from someone that sits in here all day and SEES people come in with wubi issues)
[12:17] <Guest18820> will that work on windows 7 disc aeMaeth
[12:17] <g0tcha> Dr_Willis, ah i see.. hmm
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  if you want to 'test' out ubuntu, i would suggest trying it in virtualbox.  or doing a normal install.
[12:17] <sam_010203> me too zenwhen ubuntu really is going well.
[12:18] <zenwhen> All of the things that I said "Wow this should work when I install Ubuntu" and had filed bugs about... are all fixed.
[12:18] <g0tcha> Dr_Willis, actually i wanted to try wubi itself.. but if it does have alot of issues, i might just stick with a vm
[12:18] <brverg> I am confused on how to download the files I have uploaded to my ubuntu one account
[12:18] <farimi> pokrak : i tried sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
[12:18] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  there sproberly 4+ people a day in here with wubi issues.. that basically no one in here really knows the proper ways to 'fix' :)
[12:19] <Guest18820> Is wubi like a VMsoftware then?
[12:19] <pokrak> what message return
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  since most of us DONT use wubi.
[12:19] <farimi> pokrak : Operatyion not possible due to RF-kill
[12:19] <zenwhen> I am about to try getting World of Warcraft running in WINE. If that goes well, I will be back in the Linux community full time.
[12:19] <Dr_Willis> Guest18820:  it boots the OS  from a file.. not in a virtual machine.
[12:19] <aeMaeth> if we installed/removed/upgraded wubi we would know
[12:19] <g0tcha> Dr_Willis, yeah tahts understandable.. but from what you see, do you remember if the majority have the same kind of issues? or different
[12:19] <brian_> how do I download files that are in Ubuntu One?
[12:19] <rocket16> Does anyone here know of some GNOME applet that can display the word of the day on panels? I got one searching, but it isn't available for download naywhere.
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  things like 'updated grub.. wubi dont boot, now what...' ive no idea how to proeprly fix grub on wubi. :)
[12:20] <Guest18820> Ok then so live cd would be best option. Anyway like I was saying before is it easy to remove ubuntu using windows 7 disc?
[12:20] <pokrak> farimi: tell me your system  see wificard or not
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  or windows updated and breaks somthing.
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> Guest18820:  to remove.. you delete the partitions, and restore the original bootloader.
[12:20] <brian_> I've uploaded my files to my ubuntu one cloud and now I wish to download it back to my home folder. Can anyone show me how
[12:20] <Dr_Willis> Guest18820:  then repartion/format the partitions how you want.
[12:20] <g0tcha> Dr_Willis, haha
[12:20] <g0tcha> damn
[12:20] <g0tcha> yeah
[12:21] <g0tcha> ill just stick with a VM, much better
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> brian_:  there should be a ubuntu one directory in your home with the files.
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> brian_:  login to ubuntu one. and they should sync back
[12:21] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: wow... this bleachbit is fantastic! thanks man!
[12:21] <pokrak> farimi: i will be back 4 e fiew minutes
[12:21] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: I love the preview button :)
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> madjoe:  it saved me a whole 500mb. :)
[12:21] <madjoe> Dr_Willis: 208MB here.. yaahhooo!! :)

[12:23] <dawid> i ask cause i got some problems with this version
 That doesn't have any effect, the button I mean
 Yes but the ubuntu directory in home is empty
[12:24] <sam_010203> what problems you got?
[12:24] <TGM|2> hey guys, i need help with limits.conf on 10.04 x64 server, any ideeas?
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> ashfaq:  it lets me resize them here.. i can make them biger or smaller.. but thats a per icon setting it seems.
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> brian_:  Huh?
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> brian_:  you did login to ubuntu one?
 There is no other way to do that!
[12:26] <dawid> it worked great for some time and suddenly it doesn't work, i got information "filesystem error" - or sth like that (it's in polish)
[12:26] <[deXter]> Hi all, just installed 10.10 on a new SSD. Wanted to know if the installer by default aligns partitions to MiB or cylinder?
 Yes, I am signed in
[12:26] <Dr_Willis> ashfaq:  never noticed.. or tried..
[12:27] <ashfaq> Okay I will check out!
 but no files in that directory. the files are only in the cloud
[12:27] <farimi> pokrak: just to tell you, i found a solution for wireless ---> I did rfkill unblock all
[12:28] <farimi> pokrak : and it worked!!! hooray!.. now to my eth0
[12:28] <Dr_Willis> brian_:   system->preferances -> ubuntu one. has a sync button.
 yes. but I think the files in the ubuntu directory I had mistakenly deleted after I synced it Now is it possible to retrieve it back from the cloud?
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> brian_:  i just did so..  ran that tool. and connected. and hit sync. they came back
[12:31] <pokrak> farimi: i`m proud
[12:31] <pokrak> ;)
[12:31] <larmbr_> aarcane,
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> Ive got more Tomboy Notes then I do files on UbuntuOne
[12:31] <researcher1> While trying to update I got this message "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." What should I do
[12:31] <farimi> ok, now we know that the problem is my eth0 and wifi is blocked
[12:31] <farimi> my wifi is okay now
[12:31] <zenwhen> World of Warcraft took... two minutes to set up in wine.
[12:31] <farimi> now.. hmm.. how to unblock eth0?
[12:32] <pokrak> farimi: anu u find a solution
[12:32] <pokrak> farimi: try this same way
 ok, sync in progress and then sync complete, but the files are still not there. Do you think I should remove the device associated with ubuntu one and add it again?
[12:34] <pokrak> heh doh rfkill is only for eireless :P
[12:34] <Kyuusai-San> hello I am wondering if someone can help me please, when trying to map windows drives i get a dbus error https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=742669 <-- my problem and there is a patch but i do not know how to apply it
[12:34] <Kyuusai-San> i have tried installing the smbclient and samba but still no joy
[12:34] <pokrak> farimi: u try edit /etc/network/interfaces
[12:35] <farimi> pokrak : and?
[12:35] <pokrak> or configure interface in wicid
[12:35] <Dr_Willis> brian_:  theres the #ubuntuone channel thast can proberly help better.
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> brian_:  you did connect as the proper user? :) i goofed up once and have 2 UbuntuOne accounts. and i get them messed up
 thanks
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> Kyuusai-San:  you could mount them by hand. and not use gnome/nautilus at all.
[12:37] <rigved> hi evryone
[12:37] <Kyuusai-San> how Dr_Willis
[12:37] <aspava> hi is there any X related channel? I need to know how to set activate a X session permanently... without restarting X when connecting the external Monitor
[12:38] <s093294> I can ping my linux box on <IP_ADDRESS> but not on its global(ppp0) ip <IP_ADDRESS> - any ideas why this is ?
[12:38] <Dr_Willis> Kyuusai-San:  via the proper mount command or fstab entry. or mount.cifs command.
[12:39] <Kyuusai-San> but is that in terminal only
[12:39] <rigved> Dr_Willis: i read up some really basic stuff about kernel programming. so i'll have to create a kernel module if i want to extend the kernel's functionality
[12:39] <Kyuusai-San> or does it actually mount the drives
[12:39] <Dr_Willis> Kyuusai-San:  it mounts to a directory.. system sees the dir  and access the remote files.. what do you mean..
[12:39] <rigved> Dr_Willis: i had a presentation about this today and if you hadn't warned me about my false ideas about kernel programming yesterday, it would have been a disaster. so thanx
[12:40] <Dr_Willis> rigved:  :)  gotta walk befor you can run.....
[12:41] <Kyuusai-San> well Dr_Willis you use the terminal to mount the drives what im trying to say does it mount the drives in such a way that you can only access them via terminal or does it mount the drives so you can access them using nautalius
[12:42] <Kolia> hi
[12:42] <Kolia> anyone around using an asus eeepc 1001PX?
[12:42] <ikonia> Kolia: just ask your real question
[12:42] <Kyuusai-San> lol
[12:42] <farimi> pokrak : Wired network - device not managed
[12:42] <Akkan> someone for rootscan
[12:43] <frxstrem> is it possible, if I have two open network connections, first try to connect to a server on one connection and if it fails, connect on another (for all outgoing connections)?
[12:43] <Kolia> ikonia: my question is related to this specific device
[12:43] <Kolia> many people seem to have trouble with sound card not detected anymore recently
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> Kyuusai-San:  the terminal and gui are not seperate things..   so you can access them with whaver you want
[12:43] <brverg> I would like to chat in #ubuntuone channel from x-chat gnome. Can anyone show me how?
[12:43] <rigved> Dr_Willis: :)
[12:43] <Kolia> it happens to me too, i'd like to see if it's specific to this netbook
[12:43] <Dr_Willis> Kyuusai-San:  mounting tyem by hand makes many apps easier to use even.
[12:43] <timmillwood> anyone had any issues installing the nightly build of 11.04?
[12:43] <frxstrem> brverg, write /join #ubuntuone
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> timmillwood:  try #ubuntu+1
[12:44] <pokrak> u mast conigure ethernet device
[12:44] <timmillwood> thanks Dr_Willis
[12:44] <Kolia> does someone running Lucid or Maverick on an asus eeepc 1001PX has working sound around?
  write /join #ubuntuone where?
[12:45] <frxstrem> brverg, where you write messages (everything that starts with / in most IRC clients are treated as special commands)
[12:46] <brverg>  /join #ubuntuone
[12:46] <frxstrem> brverg, without the space at the beginning...
[12:46] <JoeMaverickSett> brverg: it shouldn't have space infront of /join. :)
 ok, I've got it... thanks
[12:47] <rigved> brverg: type - /join #ubuntuone in the chat window of chat.freenode.net

[13:04] <OY1R> As soon as i plug a usb soundcard in the laptop it becomes main card and i dont know how to change it, anyone know a fix ? running 10.10,
[13:06] <przemek_> blackshirt only wine needs the file to be executable, you cant set in on fat partiotion
[13:08] <jaska___> Hello, anyone know how to disable ctrl + alt + del on Ubuntu 10.10 server?
[13:09] <pokrak> .initrc ??
[13:09] <przemek_> so, is there any way to mak linux execut file without -x bit set?
[13:10] <zamba> i want to gconf the firefox homepage (lock it) and i also want to lock a launcher on the desktop of every user using the system.. how can i do that?
[13:10] <jaska___> where is .initrc
[13:10] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> przemek_: if it's a script, you could do 'sh /path/to/yourscript"
[13:11] <pokrak> zamba find a plugin
[13:12] <Svr_Sakura> quick question... is there a dictionary list in the ubuntu repository or do i have to compile one myself?
[13:12] <przemek_> Cmdr_W_T_Riker : what if I need to lounch an .exe file in wine
[13:12] <Svr_Sakura> przemek_, use the "uninstall wine software" thingy from the menu...
[13:13] <przemek_> Svr_Sakura : how is it supposed to help?
[13:13] <zamba> pokrak: oh? what kind of plugin?
[13:14] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> przemek_: why can't you chmod the exe?
[13:14] <Svr_Sakura> przemek_, i'm assuming it's an install exe file...
[13:15] <przemek_> Cmdr_W_T_Riker : because it's on fat partition and it  gotta stay there
[13:15] <AdvoWork> ive got a share on a freenas box, anyone know how I can mount it on an external server? i normally do: //<IP_ADDRESS>/freenasshare$ /var/whatever/whatever cifs exec in /etc/fstab  but just wondering if 1) i can do it just with mount, and 2) if i can specify the port, as it will have to be //externalip now :S
[13:17] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> przemek_: you could remount the fat partitions where the files have execute permissions
[13:18] <robinbowes> Don't suppose anyone happens to know of a .deb for snmpd >= 5.4.2 on 8.04.4 LTS ?
[13:19] <przemek_> Cmdr_W_T_Riker : you mean I could mount smb partition so I would be able to chmod files there?
[13:21] <pakistaniel> Hey, could anyone help me with installing the newest ubuntu on my laptop?
[13:22] <pokrak> u take cd/dvd chose lnguade and do and reading messages

[13:29] <pokrak> change hdd settings
[13:29] <pakistaniel> oki, will try it
[13:31] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> przemek_: no, i mean you remount it with the appropriate options so that the files which reside on your vfat filesystem will have execute permissions (man mount --> "Mount options for vfat")
[13:31] <przemek_> Cmdr_W_T_Riker : thank's, I got it already

[13:41] <crazytommy_> hello, i have a problem installing ubuntu netbook edition ony my Eee PC 100H, i stuck during the installtion process, "Who are you?" --> I entered my name, name of the computer, username, password, auto logon, but now i can't click on next, it is not activated, and in the bottom it says "finish, as soon as you are..." but i can't continue, i can only click previous not next... does anyone...
[13:41] <crazytommy_> ...know an answer?
[13:41] <AnxiousNut> how do i know if a link is a hard link or a soft link?
[13:42] <Okashi> :s I have 10.10, I just installed and tried to enable the Visual Effects, it downloaded a driver that messed up my dual monitor display. I was given advice to enable a proprietary driver and I did, now Ubuntu boots with a command line... Can anyone help me?
[13:42] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> AnxiousNut: use ls -l to find out
[13:42] <BluesKaj> hiyas all
[13:43] <pokrak> try sudo X -configure and copy xogg.conf new in /etc/X11/ as corg.conf
[13:43] <AnxiousNut> Cmdr_W_T_Riker, and what should i see if it a hard link? and what about softlink?
[13:43] <pakistaniel> pokrak: thank you, will try again, I disabled CD/DVD boot, and disabled Floppy boot
[13:43] <pokrak> try sudo X -configure and copy xorg.conf new in /etc/X11/ as xorg.conf
[13:44] <lari> can somebody help me with (maybe acpi problem) my laptop saying critical battery when unpluging and going into hibernation
[13:44] <Okashi> pokrak: is that fo me?
[13:44] <pokrak> Okashi: yes
[13:44] <StaRetji> folks, what would be wget command to always download and overwrite the file?
[13:44] <ugliefrog> is there a comand for the terminal to see what i recently had in the clipboard
[13:45] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> CMoH-office: you'll recognize it at the 2nd column from a "ls -l". The file should have more than 1 hardlink, whereas a softlink is simply a new file pointing to another file (both have one hardlink)
[13:45] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> CMoH-office: sorry that was for AnxiousNut
[13:45] <crazytommy_> can anyone help me with my ubuntu netbook installation problem?
[13:46] <Okashi> pokrak: fatal server error?
[13:46] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> AnxiousNut: another way to determine if a file/directory is a softlink is by calling it with the 'file' utility
[13:46] <pokrak> okshi u must first do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[13:46] <BluesKaj> StaRetji, did you previously copy and paste the wanted lines to the terminal ?
[13:47] <Okashi> POkrak, oh, sorry I'm linux noob XD
[13:47] <pokrak> okasi :) u will learn :)
[13:47] <BluesKaj> StaRetji, if so just use the up/down arrow keys to find the the trext in the terminal
[13:47] <AnxiousNut> Cmdr_W_T_Riker, okay, thanks, got it! :)
[13:48] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> AnxiousNut: a hardlink is simply a name pointing to an inode. Multiple names can pont to the same inode, the number of such links are shown in the 2nd column of 'ls -l' or investigate the 'stat' output
[13:48] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> okay sorry, too much info perhaps :P
[13:48] <pakistaniel> pokrak: I disabled CD-ROM Boot and Floppy Boot, and I put the USB diskette on Key as the 1. in boot order...but I am still getting the same error
[13:49] <pokrak> i dont know look in bios parameters of hdd NO BOOT
[13:49] <AnxiousNut> Cmdr_W_T_Riker, very nice, thanks again :D
[13:49] <pokrak> only hdd
[13:49] <krger> You picked probably the most ridiculous way to tell if something is hard vs. soft-linked.
[13:49] <pokrak> dont look at boot priority
[13:49] <o3-k64mal> n00b here. Just installed Amarok to 10.04 but it won't play my mp3's or wma's.
[13:50] <o3-k64mal> What to do?
[13:50] <pokrak> o3-k64mal: R U looking at google ?
[13:50] <o3-k64mal> U mean google it?
[13:50] <hetii> Q:I set on my linux router snmpd to collect data from its interfaces and for frontend i use cact, i had already some graps like bytes per secound from my nic but the question is is it possible to collect data per pc in LAN ? so i want to know with pc on my LAN with bandwith use and the best will be on with protocol :>
[13:50] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> o3-k64mal: not using your password as your nickname, i hope?
[13:51] <o3-k64mal> No
[13:51] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> hetii: set up snmp on the clients and gather / graph data in cacti
[13:52] <lari> when i unplug my laptop it goes to hibernation because of wrong critical battery message, what to do?
[13:52] <MaT-dg> how good is asus xonar soundcard support in ubuntu?
[13:52] <Plimmer> q: I just formatted a drive with ext3, now I can only copy with 3MB/s to it, any way to test the disk in CLI?
[13:53] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> lari: i would google to see if more people run into the problem with your type of laptop with ubuntu
[13:53] <pakistaniel> pokrak: i appreciate the help. but I am unable to locate hdd no boot option..As I said before, I have disabled CD-ROM Boot and Floppy Boot
[13:53] <pokrak> pakistaniel: u dont understand doh
[13:53] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> Plimmer: dd to test read/writes or hdparm to test reads
[13:53] <lari> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: i did to solve my problem with the wifi card but i cant find anything with acpi
[13:53] <pokrak> u mast find option 4 hdd

[13:54] <pokrak> i give up
[13:54] <pakistaniel> pokrak: :( yeah, I am unable to locate hdd options aswell :(
[13:55] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> lari: to solve the immidiate hibernation problem, you could simply switch it off from system -> pref -> power
[13:55] <Plimmer> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: I get this: HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[13:55] <pokrak> pakistaniel: sorry but my englisjh is no well and i dont know how i help u :/
[13:56] <Chaos_Zero> hey people, I just installed ubuntu on a drive with windows server 2003 and a 5 gb swap (3 partitions total), it said it would install something so i could choose what to boot at startup, but it just says "error loading operating system".
[13:56] <BluesKaj> very interesting , if I use aptitude safe-upgrade , a new linux image is about to be installed, however if I use apt-get upgrade , the linux image is held back ,... any expalnation for the difference ?
[13:56] <pakistaniel> pokrak: thank you for trying anyway :) do you know of any other irc channels where I could get some more help?
[13:56] <lari> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: right, that is what i wanted to but it makes me choose from either of this 3 options: suspend, hibernate or shutdown, i cant choose not to do nothing
[13:57] <pokrak> pakistaniel: no i dont, but u tray find in google
[13:57] <Okashi> -___- I should probably have mentioned I'm using the comp I need to fix.
[13:57] <lari> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: few seconds after unplug, if i cancel the hibernation message then battery is measured right
[13:57] <pakistaniel> pokrak: oki thank you :)
[13:58] <Okashi> pokrak: is there another command I can try, that one sends me right to a black screen
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  did you do a 'wubi' install? or did you boot the cd and installed that way?
[13:59] <pokrak> this command generate xorg configuration file /home/user/xorg.conf.new
[14:00] <Chaos_Zero> i booted from USB
[14:00] <Chaos_Zero> but im not sure what a "subi" install is
[14:00] <Chaos_Zero> "wibu"*
[14:00] <pokrak> u must reneme this file at xorg.conf and copy to /etc/X11/
[14:00] <Chaos_Zero> argh, spalling
[14:00] <lari> can somebody help me find a acpi driver for vpcm120al laptop?
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  wubi is an executable that installs inside windows.
[14:00] <pokrak> and restart komputer
[14:00] <Chaos_Zero> i dont want it inside windows
[14:00] <sagaci> !wubi
[14:00] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> lari: perhaps this post could help you disabling it http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/05/09/disable-suspend-and-hibernate-ubuntu/
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  so are you booted to the ubuntu live system now from the usb?
[14:00] <Chaos_Zero> its a dual boot
[14:01] <palam> what does it mean when i say --dport ssh? same as -dport 22?
[14:01] <Chaos_Zero> no, it can boot to the installer
[14:01] <Okashi> is there another way to do it? XD because I can't do much from the black screen.
[14:01] <lari> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: thank you, im looking at it
[14:01] <Cmdr_W_T_Riker> palam: yes, but depends if ssh is mentioned in /etc/services
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  you are using the desktop cd? or alternative installer cd? or what exactly do to make your usb you booted from?
[14:02] <palam> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: oh ok, thanks. is it mentioned by default?
[14:02] <pokrak> okashi i dont know
[14:02] <Chaos_Zero> i used version 10.04 32 bit with the universal USB install thingy
[14:02] <Chaos_Zero> cruzer 2gb flash drive
[14:02] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  so you are on a differnt pc right now? or where exactly
[14:02] <Okashi> hm...
[14:02] <Chaos_Zero> yeah its another one
[14:03] <Chaos_Zero> oh and its server edition i forgot to say
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  so your usb installer - cant boot to the normal desktop?  does it mention any rescue mode in its menus when it boots?
[14:03] <vane> ola
[14:03] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  that was a little bit impontant :) heh
[14:03] <Chaos_Zero> my bad
[14:03] <vane> de aqui quien habla español
[14:04] <Chaos_Zero> i  had problems installing it before seeing my HDD but someone helped me through that
[14:04] <Okashi> pokrak: maybe I can rename it through the gui...
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  sounds like grub dident get installed.. or it installed to the flash drive. I would redo the install. and be sure grub installs to /dev/sda
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  unless you can some how boot up a live cd/flash to get to the console.
[14:04] <pokrak> okashi this i do in console not in gui
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  then you could try to fix grub.
[14:04] <vane> hey
[14:04] <Chaos_Zero> as i remember, their was only a "yes/no" option
[14:04] <Okashi> yeah but we tried the command line and it don't like it
[14:05] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  it had a menu item thing to where to put it to. the default should of been sda. but ive seen usb installs get confused
[14:05] <pokrak> okashi look with question at google
[14:05] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  is thers some reason you are doing a server install?
[14:05] <Okashi> -____- google hates me today, I can't find anything I need to fix my comp
[14:05] <pokrak> Okashi: command line is most importand if u want learn linux
[14:05] <gharz> guys, i have a hotfile/rapidshare account... is there any application like free download manager that manages downloading? d4x does not work with hotfile. i think it doesn't support download using http referer. anyone?
[14:06] <Chaos_Zero> because...its a server, in uaing it as a home server filesharing, proxy, 10 port bridge
[14:06] <lari> Cmdr_W_T_Riker: ok, i did the modification of the file to dont allow hibernation, im rebooting to see the efect, ill be back
[14:06] <Okashi> pokrak: I know, but if there's a alternate way and the command line isn't working, it's worth a shot
[14:06] <lari> Cmdr_W_T_Riker:  thanks
[14:06] <pokrak> Okashi: try another distro like pinguy
[14:06] <Chaos_Zero> and its an actual server, ibm xseries 366
[14:06] <LjL> gharz: type "apt-cache search rapidshare"
[14:06] <Okashi> XD but I JUST installed ubuntu 10.10
[14:07] <gharz> LjL: i think i'm not gonna use rapidshare at the moment... coz most of the files that i'm about to download are on hotfile
[14:07] <pokrak> Okashi: pinguy are ubuntu too
[14:07] <LjL> gharz: that's fine, type "apt-cache seach hotfile" if you prefer, both will show the same programs
[14:07] <Okashi> I don't understand.
[14:07] <gharz> LjL: thanks!!!!!!
[14:08] <pokrak> if u look u anderstand
[14:08] <Okashi> I have a comman that lets me open a guiwith root permissions, can't I just use that to rename the file?
[14:09] <StaRetji> BluesKaj: hi, sorry, was afk, I don't understand what lines you are referring to? I just need wget command to download and overwrite existing files on my local pc (even if local file is newer) thx for reply ;)
[14:09] <pokrak> Okashi: gksudo ??
[14:09] <Chaos_Zero> anyway, not to be difficult, but it it possible to fix the MBR from the menu somehow without re installing, the install took like, four hours.
[14:09] <Okashi> uh huh that's in there
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  I thought the alt-cd installer or somthing had a 'rescue/recovery' feature i used once to reinstall grub on a problem machine.. but i cant recall where i saw it at. I THINK it was on a flash drive i had setup as an alternative cd installer..
[14:10] <lari> perfect! now it does not go to hibernation
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  not sure if the server cd has the same feature
[14:10] <lari> even though i did not solve the problem
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  i dident even think one could put a server cd on a flash drive to install from. :)
[14:11] <Error404NotFound> errors when trying to install libqt4 http://pastebin.com/s3bnUPRG
[14:11] <Chaos_Zero> yeah  you cant really, theirs so much stuff to download
[14:11] <Chaos_Zero> blah
[14:11] <ace> hello guys
[14:11] <Chaos_Zero> but hold on ill get the rig running
[14:11] <BluesKaj> StaRetji, wget fetches files thru a link , did you copy the link ? if so it should be in your clipboard contents
[14:12] <ace> i want to buy a netbook but i want that ubuntu network edition working well on it, is there s list of compatible hardware?
[14:12] <yaaar> howdy
[14:12] <lari> Cmdr_W_R_Riker: thanks, no i get the message but it does not go to hibernation, thanks for workaround, no i have time to solve the problem
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  no.. i ment the server.iso file using a tool like unetbootin or whatever.. wouldent work from a flash drive. the desktp and alt cd's could.
[14:12] <Okashi> *sigh* I can't find the file at that location
[14:12] <BluesKaj> brb
[14:13] <Chaos_Zero> theirs a tutorial on the downloads page
[14:13] <Chaos_Zero> you download this uuuniversal usb installer
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  right. i dident think iot worked with the server iso. ive seen several people in here with issues  trying to make a server flash drive to install from. Guess the issues got fixed
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  so the recovery thing im thinking of Must of been on the alternative cd.
[14:14] <Okashi> pokrak: there is no xorg file in /home/user
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  actually with the server cd.. i think you can boot uit to the installer.. then on the other consoles.. you can get in and do stuff.
[14:15] <Chaos_Zero> well i know theirs a console because thats how i fixed the other problem
[14:15] <Chaos_Zero> you press F6 then esc at the menu
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  once ya get to a console and mount your / some where like /mnt/ you can reinstall grub with a single command..  the !fixgrub wiki mentiones it about 1/2 way down the page i recall
[14:16] <lkm> 有人么
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> !fixgrub
[14:17] <Okashi> -____- I think he's gone
[14:17] <lkm> what's wrong
[14:17] <pokrak> okaski doh
[14:17] <pokrak> think
[14:17] <Chaos_Zero> i didnt lose grub after installing windows
[14:17] <Chaos_Zero> i lost it after installing ubuntu
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  you fix it the same way
[14:18] <jumbi> hiho! i surprisely recognized that a block device could be formatted with a filesystem without any partition. which advatages/disatvatages/limitations does this have?
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> Ubuntu either installed it to the wrong hd. or dident install it at all.
[14:18] <pokrak> u have in your katalog i don know wkat is thei name and i was write /home/user
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/0d104aff-ec8c-44c8-b811-92b993823444 /dev/sda
[14:18] <StaRetji> BluesKaj: ofc, anyway, found the solution wget -q http://www.mydomain.com/myfile -O /home/user/myfile
[14:18] <BluesKaj> success! aptitude installed the new kernel , whereas apt was holding it back
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  your /media/XXXXXXX will differ. :)
[14:18] <Chaos_Zero> theirs onnly one hdd
[14:19] <lkm> ??
[14:19] <Okashi> XD there he is... XD it's 5 am, and I've been trying to get this computer to work for almost 5 days... I think the think part of my brain is burning out
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  makes it even easier then.. BUT if you boot from a flash drive. that may be 'sda' instead of the internal HD.
[14:19] <BluesKaj> StaRetji, oh so you had already used wget to download the file ?
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  ive seen pc's get weird with booting from flash drives.
[14:19] <starredsteria> :(... I really need some help here.... what's the channel for evolution?
[14:19] <pakistaniel> pokrak: Hey again :) I did a Primary Hard Disk Self Test and it says Replace Hard Disk 1...I am guessing the hard disk is malfunctioning and I probably should replace it..is that why I would get that error you think?
[14:19] <Okashi> pokrak: what am I supposed to be thinking about?
[14:19] <StaRetji> BluesKaj: yes, I just had problem where it wont overwrite, but rather it gives another name
[14:20] <starredsteria> I couldnt open evolution.... then i uninstalled to reinstall... and now it won't let me reinstall...!
[14:20] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: i managed my pendrive booting by creating Partitions and using Grub, now in Beta Stage,Thangs for Your help, :)
[14:20] <lkm> oh~
[14:20] <nacho> hey guys
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  Your Grub-fu is stong young grasshopper!
[14:20] <nacho> I'm trying to install tor in ubuntu but it seems it doesn't exists
[14:20] <nacho> does anybody knows why?
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> nacho:  its not in the repos.. you need the tor PPA.
[14:20] <pokrak> i dont now
[14:21] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: What's grub-fu?
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> nacho:  theres some wiki pages on setting up TOR.
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  like google-fu :() and Kung-Fu.
[14:21] <nacho> Dr_Willis, thanks
[14:21] <Okashi> that's usually a bad sign when both people are confused, right?
[14:21] <Okashi> hehehe
[14:21] <pokrak> :)
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  thats normal around here.
[14:21] <G0AT-AFK> hey guys, using tint2 on crunchbang linux here, wondering if anyone can help me out with updating it ???
[14:21] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: Dr_Willis-fu ;)
[14:21] <Chaos_Zero> ok im back
[14:21] <Okashi> hehehe
[14:21] <Chaos_Zero> something weird is going on
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> G0AT-AFK:  they got their own support channels.. but you could proberly find a PPA for it. or use source.
[14:22] <Sn4k3> Anyone know how to fix slow browsing speed on ubuntu?
[14:22] <Chaos_Zero> when i try to boot from the HDD i get that message
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> !crunchbang
[14:22] <G0AT-AFK> thanks..
[14:22] <o3-k64mal> Uh, I googled it, did what one of the pages said and now amarok won't start. Please a little help. Ready to run screaming back to XP.
[14:22] <Chaos_Zero> however when i tried to boot from the installer again i get a little console with really small text
[14:22] <bullgard4> What kind of templates are meant in the file /usr/src/uswsuxp-0.8/debian/uswsusp.templates?
[14:23] <Okashi> dang I really don't wanna reformat AGAIN... windows put me through hell this weekend... please work me a miracle and somehow make this computer work...
[14:23] <Chaos_Zero> it asks for login and password
[14:23] <BluesKaj> StaRetji, ok understood
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  it could be grub installed to your flash drive.. so when you boot fromt he flash drive now,. its actually booting the hard drive...
[14:23] <Chaos_Zero> which i put in from before, and now its just a blinking console
[14:23] <lari> can somebody help me with acpi problem in vaio vpcm120al (model pcg-21311u) when unpluging says battery critical and goes to hibernation. Maybe a different driver need it? i only find info about solving wifi connectivity with i allready solved
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  try loggin in.. see if you are in the installed system. :)
[14:23] <Chaos_Zero> i..guess, im ned to  ubuntu or linix, is their really NO gui at all?
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:   You used the 'server' install.. thats no GUI...
[14:24] <Chaos_Zero> it sure downloaded alot
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:   it doownloaded whatever security updates where out there.
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> most likely.
[14:24] <Chaos_Zero> so you have to memorize a command for everything. wow
[14:24] <Dr_Willis> theres proberly no reason you couldent use the  DESKTOP  install on your server..
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  thats how 'servers work'
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  vs memorising where every menu/dialog/setting is at... :)
[14:25] <Chaos_Zero> wel lets go one step at a time
[14:25] <Chaos_Zero> how do i put grub on the HDD instead of the memory stick
[14:25] <Okashi> pokrak: so there is no xorg.conf at /home/user/  is there anywhere else I should look?
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  so did it let you login with your username and password you told it during the install?
[14:25] <Chaos_Zero> yes
[14:26] <pokrak> okashi in your home directory
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  now its easy. :)  'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' and select the hard drive..
[14:26] <BluesKaj> just installed a new kernel with aptitude whereas apt was holding it back , any idea why folks ?
[14:26] <Chaos_Zero> hold on ill write this
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  AND your flash drive is now a 'backup' grub boot thing. incase grub ever breaks on it again.
[14:26] <Okashi> the only thing in home is my user folder
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  tab key is our friend also for the cli. :)
[14:26] <DasEi> pokrak, Okashi: per default there is no more /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but you can still edit and use one
[14:26] <ugliefrog> awesome i just noticed gwibber facebook updates in the notification now...yay
[14:27] <ed__> hello
[14:27] <DasEi> ugliefrog: pidgin ?
[14:27] <Chaos_Zero> yeah i have never used linux, going to be a long road
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> ugliefrog:  so now it tells you when your crops need harvested? :)
[14:27] <Okashi> heh Found it
[14:27] <Chaos_Zero> hold on ill type it in
[14:27] <o3-k64mal> Hey ed_
[14:27] <DasEi> Okashi: your distro ?
[14:27] <Okashi> so what do I rename it to again?
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> Chaos_Zero:  install the desktop cd.. and have a nice gui..   theres proberly no real reason for you to be using the 'server' cd.
[14:27] <Okashi> 10.10
[14:27] <lari> can somebody help me with acpi problem in vaio vpcm120al (model pcg-21311u) when unpluging says battery critical and goes to hibernation. Maybe a different driver need it? i only find info about solving wifi connectivity with i allready solved
[14:28] <ugliefrog> Dr_Willis, lol ...im just stoked...I thought it was me this whole time...I havent any crops..but now i can get some and get told to fix em :)
[14:28] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: from grub Command line, How to boot from a CD?
[14:28] <Okashi> I think I created a xorg.conf file when I was still trying to make x server Use my moniters right
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  Hmm.. not sure.. i know it can be done. i think.. but id have to look it up.
[14:28] <starredsteria> Does anyone know if there is an irc channel for evolution? Its not listed here :( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[14:28] <Okashi> but that was about 4 hours ago
[14:28] <ed__> im just playing around with "mount --bind" is it bad practice to mount a folder this way with the same mount point e.g. "mount --bind -o noexec,nosuid,rw /tmp /tmp!
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  i normally use grub2 to boot iso files. :)
[14:29] <Okashi> and I'm wiped
[14:29] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: How, I need to know, must
[14:29] <Dr_Willis> ed__:  i imagine doing so would be .. weird...
[14:29] <ed__> yeh, i guess it might confuse peopel
[14:29] <ed__> but wouldnt technically hurt anything?
[14:30] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  the #grub channel guys may be able to point you to an example entry to do it.
[14:30] <meltingwax> whenever i try to install something, apt-get hangs at "Unpacking replacement libmikmod2 ...". anyone know any solution to this? (it doesn't respond to control-c's, and i eventually have to kill it and manually release the lock)
[14:30] <Dr_Willis> ed__:  try it and see. :)
[14:31] <Kulverstukas> hello
[14:31] <Kulverstukas> why is this happening...? when I have 2 USB flash drives (or 1 external harddrive on USB and one flash drive) and I try to transfer something between them, or something from internal harddrive to the flash or vice versa, my ubuntu copy dialog and process starts to lag and eventually hangs... but when I use the "Send to" command from context menu, everything is fine - no lag, no hanging and files are not corrupt.
[14:31] <Okashi> -____- so I know I was supposed to rename xorg.conf to something but I forget what to, remind me?
[14:32] <ugliefrog> I need help reporting a bug.....I have a usb nostromo game pad for my shooter games....But when I start rythmbox it stops responding and the led lights on start flashing....Neat effect but bothersome...Im new to the launchpad thing..any advice
[14:32] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: Once I said you about a bug in Copy CD Dailogue box, did you report it?
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  which bug was that?
[14:33] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: if copy Cd is selected every window of nautilus get Locked
[14:33] <Dr_Willis> i rarely report bugs.. i tend to confirm a lot of others peoples reports..
[14:34] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  did you check the bug reports to see if one has allreday been made on that 'issue'
[14:34] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: let me !
[14:34]  * Okashi sighs
[14:35] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: and so How to boot from ISO directly just giving the filename only in grub2
[14:35] <pokrak> okashi xorg.conf.new u must rename -> xorg.conf and put in /etc/X11 directory
[14:35] <lari> can somebody help me with acpi problem in vaio vpcm120al (model pcg-21311u) when unpluging says battery critical and goes to hibernation. Maybe a different driver need it? i only find info about solving wifi connectivity wich i allready solved
[14:35] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  theres more to it then just giveing it a name.. the iso/disrto MUST support the feature. and each distro seems to have different options/variables that Must be set. Its a bit of a messeed up deal
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  check my grub2 links at -> http://delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2
[14:36] <starredsteria> guys.. Im seriously having a huge issue with evolution (as in it won't open) does anyone know if there is an evolution irc channel?
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> starredsteria:  try #evolution ? try running it from a terminal, look for error messages
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> pksadiq:  i will be back later.. gotta load some firewood.
[14:36] <pksadiq> Dr_Willis: Hmm, k
[14:37] <Okashi> I don't have a xorg.conf.new, just xorg.conf,  xorg.conf.backup and xorg.conf.failsafe
[14:37] <starredsteria> Dr_Willis, not working....
[14:39] <Okashi> file search of my whole hard drive : 0 results for xorg.conf.new
[14:39] <econdudeawesome> Hey all. Got an issue with a greyed out LaTeX plugin. Any idea how to make it work? Googled it but none of the solutions appear to apply
[14:39] <econdudeawesome> Hey all. Got an issue with a greyed out LaTeX gedit plugin. Any idea how to make it work? Googled it but none of the solutions appear to apply
[14:40] <pksadiq> Okashi: Why do you need xorg.conf.new?
[14:40] <izinucs> econdudeawesome: got latex installed?
[14:40] <Okashi> because you said I had to rename that file to xorg.conf
[14:40] <oelewapperke> is it possible to go with encrypted home directories anyway after not checking this in the setup ?
[14:41] <Okashi> and put it in x11
[14:41] <oelewapperke> (on 10.04 LTS)
[14:41] <econdudeawesome> izinucs: AFAIK--texlive and most of the options in synaptics, as well as rubber
[14:41] <izinucs> econdudeawesome: synthetic or natural :) .. sorry I've no idea
[14:41] <pksadiq> Okashi: How did you created the xorg.conf.new file?
[14:41] <econdudeawesome> izinucs: not sure what that means?
[14:42] <Okashi> I didn't, I was supposed to find it, copy and rename
[14:42] <econdudeawesome> izinucs: ah--rubber helps with automated documents compiling
[14:42] <AdvoWork> anyone here used nfs-client/server to allow files to be accessed remotely?
[14:42] <pksadiq> Okashi: and so you can Configure a new by sudo Xorg -configure
[14:42] <econdudeawesome> izinucs: I COULD use just LyX or Emacs, but where's the fun in that? ;-)
[14:43] <Okashi> didn't we try that? oh well *tries it again*
[14:43] <izinucs> econdudeawesome: I've always been intreagued with latex but haven't spent the time to learn it.
[14:43] <Okashi> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo xorg -configure
[14:43] <Okashi> sudo: xorg: command not found
[14:44] <pokrak> sudo X -configure
[14:44] <econdudeawesome> izinucs: you should--its worth the investment in time, then after a good understanding switching over to an automated process like LyX. Knowing the background process is important! :-) It makes for some slick presentations, especially with the beamer package
[14:44] <pokrak> but te gdm must bi first stop
[14:44] <Okashi> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo x -configure
[14:44] <Okashi> sudo: x: command not found
[14:44] <pksadiq> Okashi: Xorg not xorg
[14:44] <quidnunc> How can I tell if I have swap enabled?
[14:45] <izinucs> econdudeawesome: found this for you.. http://sourceforge.net/projects/gedit-latex/
[14:45] <pokrak> okashi X no x
[14:45] <pksadiq> Okashi: it's in Capital
[14:45] <Okashi> XD capitals Capitals alright I got it this time

[14:46] <pokrak> u must first do
[14:46] <Okashi> I can't
[14:46] <pokrak> and sudo X -configure
[14:46] <pokrak> bullshit
[14:46] <Okashi> that sets my comp into a black screen that just idles
[14:46] <econdudeawesome> izinucs: I'll check it out
[14:46] <pokrak> ctrl + f1
[14:46] <LjL> language, please
[14:47] <Okashi> I sat there for 10 minutes
[14:47] <Okashi> that's why I asked when I came back if there was another way to do what you ask me to do
[14:47] <lari> can somebody help me with acpi problem in vaio vpcm120al (model pcg-21311u) when unpluging says battery critical and goes to hibernation. Maybe a different driver need it? i only find info about solving wifi connectivity wich i allready solved
[14:48] <pksadiq> Okashi: it's just because you are running GUI already
[14:48] <ugliefrog> how do you check to see if there are any usb conflicts...
[14:48] <techouse> is there any way i could make firefox use the top bar in unity?
[14:48] <pksadiq> Okashi: DO you know well to use CLI?
[14:48] <techouse> all the other apps use it, except chrome, firefox and opera
[14:48] <Okashi> I have no idea what CLI stands for
[14:48] <quidnunc> Okashi: command line interface
[14:49] <lari> techouse: try firefox addons TinyMenu and LittleFox
[14:49] <Okashi> um... I cand CD and dir but that's it
[14:49] <izinucs> ugliefrog: lsusb will give you everything connected to the usb buss.  probably addresses as well.. dmesg will give you a long list of information while booting.
[14:49] <techouse> ah, thought i had to fiddle with some conf files :P
[14:49] <AdvoWork> whats up with:  mount -t cifs -o  //EXTERNALIP/SHARE /home/Scripts/test/ ?
[14:49] <Okashi> I'm using my cd to even boot atm
[14:49] <pksadiq> Okashi: then Do you have another system to chat here?
[14:49] <Okashi> XD I wish I did
[14:50] <duckx0r> Ii just reinstalled ubuntu on a bunch of my computers in an internet cafe, however one of the computers completely locks up after about 5 min idle time. After seeing this, I remembered that I added something to the grub boot line in the previous install that fixed it, but I can't remember what that was. Does anyone have any ideas?
[14:51] <pksadiq> Okashi: and atleast do you have a phone with GPRS?
[14:51] <Guest11963> olaaa
[14:51] <izinucs> duckx0r: lots of opotions there.. I only know a couple.. remove "quiet splash", pci=nomsi, nomodset
[14:51] <id10t> 'lo all
[14:51] <Guest11963> komo vaaa
[14:51] <DasEi> !boototions | duckx0r
[14:51] <Okashi> I don't know if my phone does or not
[14:51] <DasEi> !bootoptions | duckx0r
[14:51] <izinucs> duckx0r: also something to do with acpi=off I think
[14:51] <Okashi> it's supposed to run java, but it doesn't do it well
[14:52] <ugliefrog> izinucs, ty..looked at it no addresses are the same so i guess there arent any conflicts...thanks for the info
[14:52] <duckx0r> izinucs, thanks a lot
[14:52] <id10t> anyone able to help w/ a livecd question?  trying to make a custom disc to load /homes from a flash drive (for persistence).. any ideas as to when to run the script and what file would call it during the live cd init process?  rc.local doesn't do it ...
[14:52] <popey> id10t: why not just install onto a USB stick _and_ have home on it?
[14:52] <pksadiq> Okashi: anyway What is the problem with the current Xorg.conf file?
[14:53] <id10t> popey, usb sticks are too slow for running in my experience... too much i/o wait.
[14:53] <popey> id10t: slower than CD?
[14:53] <pksadiq> id10t: use a-linux or tinycore linux.  ;)  very fast
[14:53] <hacked_kernel> is there a player for SSF and IRF media files?
[14:53] <id10t> popey, yeah... like firefox locking up and "grey screening" for 10 seconds at a shot ... any time multiple reads/writes are happening
[14:54] <popey> id10t: yeah, I have seen that..
[14:54] <id10t> pksadiq, not really an option either... this is for having a dev environment for c++ w/ support for gmpxx
[14:54] <heartinfei> hi
[14:55] <Okashi> -___- okay my problem is that I set visual effects to ON, and it installed nVidia X server. THAT program doesn't allow me to correctly use my dual monitors. ON Advice from someone in another ubuntu channel I enables the proprietary driver and now Ubuntu boots to command line. I'm booted up through the CD atm.
[14:55] <heartinfei> What are you taking about!
[14:55] <Okashi> -____-
[14:55] <pksadiq> Okashi: doesn't your ubunto now load GUI?
[14:55] <Okashi> I know I said that when I first entered
[14:56] <pksadiq> ubuntu*
[14:56] <Okashi> not anymore
[14:56] <pksadiq> Okashi: and you are in the live cd?
[14:56] <Okashi> yes
[14:56] <lari> can somebody help me with acpi problem in vaio vpcm120al (model pcg-21311u) when unpluging says battery critical and goes to hibernation. Maybe a different driver need it? i cant find info about this problem on the internet
[14:56] <pksadiq> Okashi: ok, then Do *try
[14:56] <Okashi> ?
[14:57] <Okashi> that's what I'm in
[14:57] <Okashi> without ubuntu just boots to a command line
[14:57] <pksadiq> Okashi: hear all , then do, ok? *try*
[14:57] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  i install the nvidia drivers. reboot. use the nvidia-settings tool to enable 'twinview' (restart X server) and i use dual monitors all the time..
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  the Proprietary drivers are the nvidia drivers.
[14:58] <Okashi> yes, I'm using the live CD to boot Ubuntu, using the "Try" option
[14:58] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf see what the 'Driver' line is loading. if its set to 'nvidia' you may want to edit it to be 'nv' and try 'startx' that should get you back to X at least.
[14:58] <Okashi> Dr_Willis: it won't let me set my 32" hdtv on any res better than 640 480,

[15:00] <Yam_> Ubuntu asked me to install the newest driver for my ATI card, and after I installed it,  it only goes to the Ubuntu loading screen and then the monitor shuts off
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> qwertyjustin:  depends on the scriptng language.
[15:00] <molded> indeed....lol
[15:00] <molded> i don't understand what just happened?
[15:00] <qwertyjustin> just a simple ubuntu script "script.sh"
[15:00] <Dr_Willis>  molded  a space befor the / most likely
[15:00] <Pici> qwertyjustin: #
[15:00] <id10t> qwertyjustin, use the #
[15:00] <Dr_Willis> qwertyjustin:  so look at the script.. what language is it in? bash. = #
[15:00] <qwertyjustin> # ahh, it lights up blue, cheers guys!!
[15:00] <pksadiq> Okashi: did you try what Dr_Willis  said?
[15:01] <Okashi> so do I change it to nv or startX?
[15:01] <progre55> molded: your whole virtual identity got hacked )) and I can tell, you're russian or russian-speaker )
[15:01] <Walex> Yam_: you probably need to have the GUI/X server configuration reset. There are a few pages on the Wiki who give details on doing that.
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  change it to 'nv' then you could have tested with startx.. but you are on the live cd.. so that wont work.
[15:01] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  change it to nv, then boot the system and see what happens
[15:01] <pksadiq> Okashi: try what Dr_Willis said, and if it does not work I'll say my idea
[15:01] <Yam_> walex I am not able to get into anything
[15:01] <Okashi> hopefully I get more than a command line
[15:02] <Yam_> the monitor shuts off
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  you can install a text based irc client so you can get back here from the console for help also.
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> Yam_:  perhaps a invalid mode/settings the thing is trying to use.
[15:02] <pksadiq> !irssi | Okashi
[15:02] <pbx> There isn't any way to run a text-mode install from the regular LiveCD, is there?
[15:02] <BluesKaj> Dr_Willis,this proprietary drivers issue has become confusing for some , including me. To me "propretary" means adriver offered on the HW website as opposed to the default kernel source driver .
[15:02] <Dr_Willis> pbx:  not that i have ever seen
[15:02] <Okashi> cmd = kriptonite
[15:02] <lari> can somebody help me with acpi problem in vaio vpcm120al (model pcg-21311u) when unpluging says battery critical and goes to hibernation. Maybe a different driver need it? i cant find info about this problem on the internet
[15:03] <Yam_> Dr_Willis Ubuntu automatically found and installed it
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> BluesKaj:  the ones with ubuntu are the 'gpl' drivers.. the  package manager has the property drivers allready in deb format.. vs the 'nvidia site' drivers that are a .sh/.run thing.
[15:03] <Walex> Yam_: you need to get into the console, and then start the reconfig. The relevant wiki page has the details
[15:03] <Okashi> so I wanna change the drivers for BOTH moniter to NV and reboot.
[15:03] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  just change nvidia to be 'nv'
[15:03] <AdvoWork> whats up with:  mount -t cifs -o  //EXTERNALIP/SHARE /home/Scripts/test/ ?
[15:03] <Okashi> it's listed once for each monitor
[15:03] <geboy> guys, what do i need to make my ubuntu desktop to become a hotspot server + bandwidth management
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  You got a -o where its not needed perhaps?
[15:04] <geboy> atleast the ability to become a router with management feature
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  heres my single monitor xorg.conf for an example --> http://pastebin.com/zU8NkxVL
[15:04] <Yam_> walex how do I get into the console
[15:04] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  you have 2 nvidia cards? or 1 card with 2+ monitors?
[15:05] <id10t> anyone know when (what file) in the livecd boot process the livecd user gets created?
[15:05] <Okashi> 1 card for 2 monitors
[15:05] <geboy> id10t why?
[15:05] <id10t> geboy, trying to do some crazy stuff w/ a custom live cd, run OS from cd, get /home from flash drive
[15:06] <Walex> Yam_: CTRL-ALT-F1, but please read the relevant Wiki page
[15:06] <BluesKaj> Dr_Willis, close enuff , maybe we should find a better defintion in this case ..maybe "default-proprietary" vs "site-proprietary"  opr some such
[15:06] <id10t> geboy, so i'm guessing i should mount the flash just after the user is created... perhaps even in the same script
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  you could move your xorg.conf somewhere. and try mine. and change the nvidia to be 'nv'
[15:06] <Yam_> walex at startup?
[15:06] <Dr_Willis> Okashi:  i dont have any twinview enabled configs handy to look at.
[15:06] <Okashi> hm... lets try that if what I have done doesn't work
[15:07] <Okashi> I'm hesitant to import files from other systems after a HUGE issue with windows I had once with .dlls
[15:07] <Walex> Yam_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=690760
[15:07] <izinucs> Okashi: did you hand configure your xorg? are you using the binary driver? How was it installed? (manually or thorugh the PPA)
[15:07] <Walex> Yam_: case "1b)" in that page
[15:08] <BluesKaj> Okashi, no dlls in the windows way in linux
[15:08] <geboy> id10t: sorry, i think i even noober than you in ubuntu. i was just asking why do you need to change the user
[15:08] <Okashi> XD confused
[15:08] <AdvoWork> im doing //EXTERNALIP/share /home/Scripts/test cifs exec and getting mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on  //EXTERNALIP/share  how can i find out the fs type? its a cifs/smb share..
[15:08] <Okashi> THANK MERCY FOR NO DLL..
[15:08] <geboy> try looking in the DSL forum perhaps they got some answer
[15:08] <geboy> damn small linux
[15:08] <techouse> Okashi: seems you ain't using wine :D
[15:09] <Okashi> I can't use wine atm, I'm on the Live Cd
[15:09] <pksadiq> techouse: might be beers ;)
[15:09] <Okashi> Dr_Willis: my xorg is a lot longer
[15:09] <techouse> Okashi: wrong....you can :D
[15:09] <techouse> it will get installed to your ram
[15:09] <techouse> :)
[15:10] <Okashi> techouse, I tried and it will not download it using the software center
[15:10] <techouse> Okashi: aptitude is your friend :D
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  just googlign for 'mount cifs example' gives a few with extra options..
[15:10] <Okashi> I'm very apt when I have some idea what I am doing
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  sudo mount -t smbfs //<IP_ADDRESS>/d /mnt/win-d
[15:10] <Okashi> XD
[15:10] <Dr_Willis> AdvoWork:  sudo mount -t cifs //<IP_ADDRESS>/d /mnt/win-d -o username=mysurface
[15:10] <geboy> !QT
[15:11] <Okashi> Dr_Willis: I do see where you mean though and I have changed and saved that
[15:11] <pksadiq> techouse: might be apt-get moo
[15:11] <geboy> !radius
[15:11] <techouse> pksadiq: aptitude install -v
[15:11] <techouse> :D
[15:12] <Okashi> SIGN me up for app-get +100 IQ
[15:12] <Okashi> then I can just google command line and phographically learn it
[15:12] <leo_ro> hello everyone
[15:13] <OY1R> Why cant http://www.canyouseeme.org/ see me on port 51413, i have it forwarded in the router?
[15:13] <leo_ro> I'm having problems with some rebel packages that don't want to install / uninstall: http://dpaste.com/275521/
[15:13] <pksadiq> Okashi: in command line you can also browse net using w3m   browser
[15:13] <leo_ro> if anyone can give me a hand there I'd appreciate it. I already found an Ubuntu Question about this, but it wasn't solved.
[15:13] <goltoof_> !anyone
[15:14] <goltoof_> ohai room
[15:14] <Okashi> internet w/ no pictures... how do you stream anime that way?
[15:14] <Okashi> XD
[15:14] <starredsteria> Is anyone here having issues with evolution? the process is running.. but the mail client is not opening
[15:14] <brontoeee> what would be a 'mouse pointer blanker' ?
[15:14] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro: go ahead
[15:14] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone, goltoof_: I already pasted the info... http://dpaste.com/275521/
[15:14] <Kulverstukas> why is this happening...? when I have 2 USB flash drives (or 1 external harddrive on USB and one flash drive) and I try to transfer something between them, or something from internal harddrive to the flash or vice versa, my ubuntu copy dialog and process starts to lag and eventually hangs... but when I use the "Send to" command from context menu, everything is fine - no lag, no hanging and files are not corrupt.
[15:15] <Okashi> okay, off to reboot
[15:15] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  lemme watch..
[15:16] <flax^_> im having some trouble with MInecraft and fglrx. It works if i uninstall fglrx but its really scetchy. Are there any other ati drivers that i can try?
[15:16] <Walex> Kulverstukas: It is unlikely that the difference is really made by the method of copy
[15:16] <Walex> Kulverstukas: it is far more likely that the USB drives are buggy (so many are) and the bugs only happen with specific sequences of commands, that is they are time dependent.
[15:18] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro: kill all applications in the pc ....then do that again....
[15:18] <Kulverstukas> Walex, it does happen with all my drives I have
[15:18] <id10t> anyone know when (what file) in the livecd boot process the livecd user gets created?
[15:19] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: I did that from tty without X running already.
[15:19] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: in fact, gdm is not showing a login box
[15:20] <zxd> hi
[15:20] <zxd> is it possible to configure a process to be shutdown last when doing poweroff
[15:20] <zxd> I saw something in ../init.d/sendsigs
[15:20] <randy_> I use /etc/init.dgdm stop to stop gdm then restart it in tty1,how can I logout tty1 without kill X
[15:20] <zxd> about omit
[15:20] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: I'm here from irssi on a recovery console
[15:20] <Walex> Kulverstukas: it could be a a buggy USB chip *in the PC*. Or perhaps a buggy hub if you use a hub. Unfortunately USB stuff is quite unreliable, and mass-storage in particular. I try to use eSATA whenever I can.
[15:20] <id10t> zxd play with the links in /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc6.d
[15:20] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  hmmm....u mean ,,,,,?   ok tell me any crashes so far
[15:20] <starredsteria> Evolution won't open for me (installed version 2.30.3-1ubuntu7.1) can anyone help?
[15:20] <Walex> randy_: one way is to run 'xinit' in a 'screen', detach the 'screen' instance and logout.
[15:20] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: I can't start gnome normally... and I have broken packages. That's the problem so far.
[15:21] <F0sterO4> morning, does anyone knows of a good guide as far as how to install a PXE server on ubuntu?
[15:21] <DasEi> starredsteria: try from terminal and pastebin the erroroutput
[15:21] <Yam_> CTRL ALT F1 does nothing walex it just causes the computer to beep
[15:21] <DasEi> !paste
[15:21] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: if I run startx from the recovery console, Gnome starts but it pop ups some errors
[15:21] <randy_> Walex, can tell what shall I type and in where
[15:21] <rmrfslash> can I get details about a particular synaptic package i.e. what specific version of the library or module that's being installed?
[15:22] <MyloveIsGone> hmm .... leo_ro try to update ..
[15:22] <DasEi> rmrfslash: apt-cache show gedit (or whatever)
[15:22] <Walex> randy_: that's really a case of reading the 'screen' manual :-). However type 'screen' and then 'xinit -- :1'. The sooner you learn about 'screen' the better, it is amazingly useful
[15:22] <goltoof_> leo_ro:   i get gnome errors on startup even with fresh install
[15:22] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: that didn't work. I also tried to reinstall, to remove, to remove purge, and to manually download the package and dpkg -i
[15:22] <leo_ro> goltoof_: well, that doesn't sound good to me.
[15:22] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  give me a sec
[15:22] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: sure, thanks.
[15:23] <Walex> Yam_: if it just beeps that probably it has not not booted into GNU/Linux yet. Then you have a bigger problem than the GUI.
[15:23] <goltoof_> leo_ro:  nor i,  seems a little common though..  same happened with 10.04 on multiple machines.  it's just, ugly
[15:23] <Yam_> walex I am able to get into the command prompt when I hold shift
[15:23] <randy_> Walex, I know waht you say,screen is a soft I know,a shell.but how does system do this
[15:23] <starredsteria> DasEi, erroroutput: command not found
[15:24] <Alex90> Afternoon everyone, I'm having trouble setting up a server in a DMZ so that it can see the internet. The server can resolve the ip addresses but can't ping them. I've tried route add to no avail.
[15:24] <Walex> Yam_: ahhhhh then if you can get into the commmand promp follow the instructions in that page.
[15:24] <goltoof_> not gnome errors specifically, just errors as x is starting
[15:24] <Walex> Yam_:  note that command prompt is probably the single user command prompt. CTRL-ALT-F1 works if the system has booted normally in multiuser mode.
[15:24] <DasEi> starredsteria: misunderstood me, just enter evolution in a terminal and report the response
[15:24] <id10t> Alex90, the device between the dmz and the web may be dropping icmp packets...
[15:24] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro: u there
[15:25] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: yes
[15:25] <Yam_> okwalex I can get into the command prompt with recovery mode right?
[15:25] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  this can help you ....http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=677547
[15:25] <Walex> Yam_: that's another way.
[15:25] <Yam_> walex should I choose netroot or root
[15:25] <Walex> Yam_: not.
[15:26] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: okay, let me check that out.
[15:26] <Yam_> walex they both look like command prompts
[15:26] <Alex90> id10t: Thanks, but t worked fine with winodws ont the box so I think it's a config thing not packets being dropped.
[15:26] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro yeah go on
[15:26] <Walex> Yam_: 'root'
[15:26] <AdvoWork> in /etc/fstab ive got: EXTERNALIP:/share/ /home/Scripts/test/  nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr   yet sudo mount -a keeps giving: mount: can't get address for //EXTERNALIP etc etc
[15:26] <Yam_> ok walex
[15:26] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: http://dpaste.com/275525/ that didn't work.
[15:27] <ventrik> I have a catch 22 type issue with Ubuntu
[15:27] <starredsteria> DasEi, nothing happens..
[15:27] <starredsteria> DasEi, is there a bug report cmd I can use for it?
[15:27] <ventrik> I cannot load it, LiveCD or installed. It's the GPU, as soon as anything graphical wants to load, I'm left with a white/black screen.
[15:27] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro: /var/cache/apt/archives# aptitude upgrade
[15:28] <izinucs> ventrik: ask your question.. not many here know what catch 22 is :)
[15:28] <ikonia> ventrik: use the alternative CD
[15:28] <ventrik> Did
[15:28] <DasEi> starredsteria: no, shure it's installed ? sudo apt-get install evolution
[15:28] <ventrik> It's Vesa?
[15:28] <pea_brain> dear all, I am planning to make a distro based on ubuntu 10.04 LTS server. which is the best method ?
[15:28] <izinucs> ventrik: you might add "nomodset" to the kernel line on boot.
[15:28] <ventrik> Bascially I need to delete whatever driver Ubuntu is running from the GRUB loader
[15:28] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: same errors than with apt-get
[15:29] <ikonia> pea_brain: offtopic and not supported here - if you want to make your own distro, you should know how
[15:29] <starredsteria> DasEi, yes I've uninstalled.. reinstalled.... current version installed is 2.30.3-1ubuntu7.1... worked Friday.. for some reason won't open today
[15:29] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  do autoremove
[15:29] <ventrik> nonodeset? Alright, I'll try that, rebooting.
[15:29] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: same thing
[15:30] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  give me some time ..
[15:30] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: okay, thanks
[15:30] <pea_brain> ikonia: if it is off topic here, where should i go and ask ?
[15:30] <Yam_> walex ... I typed in the first command on that page
[15:30] <ikonia> pea_brain: a build your own distro style channel
[15:31] <DasEi> starredsteria: what does the terminal respond if you enter evolution ?
[15:31] <starredsteria> DasEi,... I think I know how I may be able to fix it.. how can I downgrade evolution?
[15:31] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  u there
[15:31] <DasEi> !remaster > pea_brain
[15:31] <Yam_> walex ... I get this message .... Rather than invoking ihit scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service (8) utility, e.g service gdm stop
[15:32] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  ping
[15:32] <gregL> Is anyone have a problem keeping the pc time in sync,using npt???
[15:32] <pea_brain> ikonia, but i need a derivative of lts server, so can someone help me out with it ?
[15:32] <aeon-ltd> gregL: i think you mean ntp
[15:32] <DasEi> starredsteria: I could tell you, but my last question ?
[15:33] <aeon-ltd> !ntp | gregL
[15:33] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro: do this "sudo dpkg --configure -a"...execute it without quotes
[15:33] <ikonia> pea_brain: no
[15:33] <ikonia> pea_brain: it's not supported
[15:33] <gregL> aeon-ltd, yup thanks
[15:33] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  do it ^^^
[15:33] <goltoof_> gregL:  I had that before, turned out to be some kind of conflict between hardware time and ntp time
[15:33] <starredsteria> DasEi,  it does nothing. I type it in.. it goes to the next line... and just stays thee
[15:34] <ventrik1> I left?
[15:34] <ventrik1> o.o
[15:34] <ventrik1> Oh haha
[15:34] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: that didn't work either http://dpaste.com/275530/
[15:35] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro: do this "sudo dpkg --configure -a"
[15:35] <gregL> goltoof_, Thanks I have been fighting this for a week now...I did notice my hardware time was off and corrected it...
[15:35] <DasEi> starredsteria: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[15:35] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: that's what I just did
[15:35] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro:  hmmmm
[15:35] <leo_ro> and it didn't work... http://dpaste.com/275530/
[15:35] <starredsteria> DasEi, the issue I think is that Im using a proposed version
[15:36] <pea_brain> thanks all. will give it a try
[15:36] <DasEi> starredsteria: how's that ? added a ppa ? or installed from a deb/tarball ?
[15:37] <Yam_> walex are you there buddy :)?
[15:37] <MyloveIsGone> leo_ro: sorry man ...i am upto this man
[15:37] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: :S
[15:38] <Walex> Yam_: been away a bit
[15:38] <Yam_> ok walex
[15:38] <goltoof_> gregL:   :)  just curious, how did you go about correcting the hardware time?
[15:38] <Yam_> were you able to see the previous message?
[15:38] <Walex> Yam_: if the ATI driver is not working, GDM cannot start. The key command is the X reconfigure.
[15:39] <seme> hey guys... I'm trying to decide if I want to download 32 or 64bit ubuntu... I have a 64bit computer and I've used the 64bit ubuntu in the past but is there any reason to choose 32bit ubuntu?  Why does it say recommended on the site(is it just b/c 32bit works on both hardware?)?
[15:39] <Walex> goltoof_: 'sudo hwclock --systohc'
[15:39] <goltoof_> Walex,  thx
[15:40] <Walex> seme: it used to be that some popular binary-only plugins were not available in 64b mode, and it still consumes a bit more memory, buit it is also a bit faster.
[15:40] <Yam_> walex so are you saying that wiki page wont apply
[15:40] <goltoof_> Walex:   does that just sync it automatically to ntp?
[15:41] <Walex> Yam_: wiki page says how to reconfigure X... You don't need to follow *all* steps, just those that match your situation.
[15:41] <Yam_> ok walex but I typed in the command on the first step and I got this message
[15:41] <Walex> goltoof_: as 'man hwclock' would tell, that command makes the hw clock have the same time as the sw clock. NTP only synchronizes the sw clock to a remote clock.
[15:42] <thefatloverboy> how to install this web cam ID 093a:2460 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Q-TEC WEBCAM 100
[15:42] <Yam_> walex ... Rather than invoking ihit scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service (8) utility, e.g service gdm stop
[15:42] <goltoof_> Walex:  sorry, command didn't give me any output which made me ask what it does
[15:43] <leo_ro> MyloveIsGone: thanks for your help. I'll see how I can solve this. Bye!
[15:43] <Tasser> how do I install tk 8.6 on ubuntu?
[15:43] <Tasser> (lucid)
[15:43] <Walex> thefatloverboy: not all webcams or other peripherals are supported, it is usually a good idea to choose hw which is known to work well.
[15:44] <Okashi> Dr_Wallis: you still here?
[15:44] <Walex> goltoof_:  a fundamental design principle of UNIX-like systems is that commands print nothing unless it is really required. Too bad many developers havwe forgotten that.
[15:44] <r4_> so ive been following this guide.... http://omapzoom.org/wiki/Prebuilt_ubuntu_binaries ......and im getting a blank screen with a blinking cursor. is this usually due to a lack of a boot loader or just lack of a properly configged bootloader?
[15:44] <Roasted_> I have a laptop with an intel graphics card.  It's as if it forgets what resolution I use, and sometimes it somehow thinks I run dual screen because the mouse will travel over to the right continuously as if a monitor is there. I'm (to say the least) a little sick of this issue. I'm wondering if generating a xorg file with the proper resolution would be an answer. How would I do this?
[15:44] <thefatloverboy> yes but i was checking this  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TrustWebcamWB-1400T
[15:45] <Okashi> :S
[15:45] <Okashi> XD he left...
[15:46] <Walex> Roasted_: those are common problems with the "intel" graphics driver, that has been somewhat misdesigned.
[15:46] <Okashi> just when I managed to think of a way to make the GUI work too..
[15:46] <Walex> Roasted_: blame Jim Gettys and the MS-Windows succubi at intel.
[15:46] <Roasted_> Walex, yeah, that's what I'm reading.
[15:46] <Roasted_> Walex, well I don't mind the intel thing, I would just prefer it would keep my resolution.
[15:46] <eriksson25> anyone, need help with the comands for runing fsck on a ext4, its not mounted so just need the right comand
[15:47] <goltoof_> Walex:  yes i realize that just because there's no output doesn't mean it's not doing anything..  the commands that give no output scare me more than anything
[15:47] <Roasted_> Walex, any idea how I generate a xorg to handle the resolution properly?
[15:47] <Walex> Roasted_: if you are using a recent version of Ubuntu, you must use 'xrandr' manually to get reliable results.
[15:47] <Roasted_> Walex, is that for getting xorg running?
