[14:52] <gamerpro2000> since their accounts are already make, etc/skel won't apply to them
[14:52] <anirudhr> gamerpro2000, $HOME would be an environment variable, you'll only delete your own. Try creating a user list by grepping for bash in .etc.passwd.
[14:52] <krger> Heh.
[14:52] <krger> Are all the home directories not under the same path?
[14:52] <gamerpro2000> anirudhr, thanks. I'll give it a shot
[14:52] <gamerpro2000> One quick question, though
[14:53] <gamerpro2000> Is there an easier way to apply .gconf files to all users then blowing away and overwritting these folders?
[14:53] <zzzop> !ghci
[14:54] <anirudhr> gamerpro2000, No clue about that, sorry. :) Also, try using Ruby to write the script. You can always encase BASH scripts inside Ruby within ``s.
[14:59] <nuDLer> gamerpro: what about just doing going into /home and run the following "rf -f */.gconf" ?
[15:03] <anirudhr> nuDLer, I am sure you mean rm. ;)
[15:06] <nuDLer> anirudhr: your right :)
[15:09] <Lint01> does @ means something special for bash?
[15:10] <falafell> anyone here familiar with Java license?
[15:12] <erUSUL> falafell: use openjdk, the gpl version.

[15:25] <rickeh> hi what is a lost + found folder in ext4?
[15:25] <blade> Hi can some one please help ive been looking every ware on google but can not find any info. I have ubuntu 10.10 and every time when i plug in  my usb alfa awus036h wireless adapter. ubuntu just completly locks every time.
[15:26] <littlejoey_z> hmm blade: this is weird, did you check the ubuntu forums?
[15:26] <slick124> Change Ubuntu Desktop from DHCP to a Static IP Address
[15:26] <slick124> pls
[15:26] <slick124> help me
[15:27] <slick124> i wont be able to call my isp for help
[15:27] <slick124> he's dumber than me
[15:27] <blade> littlejoey_z, yes but i think maybe i done some thing trying to get aircrack drivers to work
[15:27] <slick124> and wuld have slept by now
[15:28] <v3nd3tta``> slick124: static internal ip or external? external => isp , internal => webinterface of your router
[15:28] <littlejoey_z> blade: try to remember what you did last, and try to undo it (assuming the wireless usb used to work before)
[15:28] <slick124> wats internal or external
[15:28] <slick124> i want to change my ip
[15:28] <luke_> renew lease?
[15:28] <slick124> so that i can connect to my local lan servers
[15:29] <JRWR> With my netbook, ubuntu has issues with detecting when my power source has changed from A/C to battery.. ity can take upto 10mins for it to see that ive changed states
[15:29] <slidinghorn> slick124, you can do that by using:   sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces -- change dhcp to static and list the settings (ip, mask, etc)
[15:29] <v3nd3tta``> what about pulling out your lan cable? (BE CAREFUL! Every COnnection gets interrupted!)
[15:29] <nicholas_> How do to run everything as root?
[15:29] <helo> yay
[15:30] <v3nd3tta``> nicholas_: su root ?
[15:30] <dizz3r> nicholas, type in "su"
[15:30] <littlejoey_z> nicholas_: probably not a good idea!
[15:30] <troy_> good morning
[15:30] <slick124> hi  can u tell that slowly
[15:30] <LjL> s/probably/certainly/
[15:30] <troy_> anyone know how to resolve that stupid pidgin error?
[15:30] <slick124> the ip wich i wish to enter is <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:30] <littlejoey_z> troy_: which pidgin error?
[15:30] <nicholas_> I'm trying to put this wireless driver manually but it keeps telling me acess denied. so i guess id have to run it in root
[15:30] <slick124> wats mask and etc
[15:31] <slidinghorn> !sudo | nicholas
[15:31] <slick124> sudo is root nicholas
[15:31] <littlejoey_z> nicholas_: before the command, write sudo
[15:31] <troy_> littlejoey_z when i try and log into my msn account i get an error about not being certified
[15:32] <littlejoey_z> troy: ic let's see if the internet has a solution
[15:32] <Zaehlas> Hello. having issues with Acer T230H touchscreen locking up on boot after 10.10 upgrade. I've tried checking logs, but not seeing anything conclusive.
[15:32] <slick124> how to find my host and domain name
[15:33] <Zaehlas> it works fine if i unplug it, boot, then plug it in.
[15:33] <dekker3d> Hey folks. I was just curious... where could I go to learn the finer points of computer security and hacking?
[15:33] <nicholas_> I need help installing this driver. I downloaded it from the website.  It was working fine last night. Then I installed updates then it doesn't want to work
[15:36] <RingZer0> I am trying to find . -iname "*.mp3" | xargs chmod 644       ....     this works on all files without spaces... is there a way to excape the spaces of xargs?
[15:36] <littlejoey_z> nicholas_: what is the card that you have?
[15:36] <nicholas_> For my Broadcom STA
[15:37] <littlejoey_z> nicholas_: there are many posts on that in ubuntu forums (I don't have the same card personally)
[15:37] <user6> khusnul
[15:37] <nicholas_> I've tried
[15:37] <nicholas_> looking
[15:37] <erUSUL> RingZer0: use -print0 | xargs -0    or better yet use find's own -exec
[15:37] <Wolfey> Ello
[15:38] <Wolfey> Nicholas what is wrong?
[15:38] <littlejoey_z> nicholas_: did you activate the driver in the restricted drivers menu item?
[15:38] <RingZer0> erUSUL: well, when using find's -exec it was extremely slow vs the xargs
[15:38] <erUSUL> RingZer0: find . -iname "*.mp3" -exec chmod 644 '{}' +
[15:38] <nicholas_> Yes, I did last night
[15:38] <erUSUL> RingZer0: if you use + instead of \; it should be no speed difference
[15:38] <RingZer0> erUSUL: the {} is the variable of the stdout for that line-item?
[15:38] <littlejoey_z> hmm ok, I will look through the forums hang on
[15:39] <nicholas_> I'll tell you my exact card
[15:39] <erUSUL> RingZer0: {} is replaced with the filename(s)
[15:39] <RingZer0> erUSUL: I understand.  I am not the best with linux, I am trying to get better.
[15:39] <littlejoey_z> nicholas_: check that http://www.backports.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=949198
[15:39] <Wavesonics> why does ruby-full want to install a ton of gui/gfx packages?
[15:40] <RingZer0> erUSUL: what does the + do?
[15:40] <nicholas_> my card is a : Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY
[15:40] <Wavesonics> and is there another ruby package just for servers?
[15:40] <erUSUL> Wavesonics: becouse it is the -full ( install everything ) version
[15:40] <Wavesonics> erUSUL, so just "ruby" should only install the language its self?
[15:40] <erUSUL> RingZer0: the same as xargs. pass to each command up to MAX_ARG filenames ( wich means a lot of them )
[15:41] <erUSUL> Wavesonics: correct;
[15:41] <Wavesonics> thx :)
[15:41] <erUSUL> Wavesonics: then you can install libs one at a time as you see fit
[15:41] <RingZer0> erUSUL: thank you.
[15:41] <nicholas_> Joey, it says no file or directory as wl
[15:42] <littlejoey_z> ok wait
[15:42] <RingZer0> erUSUL: how long have you been using linux?
[15:43] <erUSUL>  about ten years ( not full time allways )
[15:44] <littlejoey_z> hmm nicholas try to write echo wl | etc, with space
[15:44] <littlejoey_z> maybe that helps
[15:44] <nicholas_> alright
[15:44] <RingZer0> that is really cool... I hope to get good at it someday.  I have developed in assembly, c, c++, c#, c#.net, and in the last 2 years OO php, javascript, html, xml, soap (all the web stuff)
[15:45] <nicholas_> nope :/
[15:45] <littlejoey_z> what is the output?
[15:45] <ibagusm> asu
[15:46] <ibagusm> powerfull
[15:46] <nicholas_> no directory exist
[15:46] <tato> i am stuck in copmpiling :(
[15:46] <littlejoey_z> brb
[15:46] <ibagusm> how install java in ubuntu?
[15:46] <RingZer0> I need to learn all of the linux header files and common libs.
[15:46] <peter_> Hello
[15:46] <RingZer0> I would like to also get good with commandline gcc
[15:47] <PolarFox> RingZer0: ALL? :P
[15:47] <littlejoey_z> nicholas_: try cd /etc/modules only
[15:48] <littlejoey_z> oh yeah you are right!
[15:48] <RingZer0> PolarFox: all what?
[15:48] <PolarFox> RingZer0: headers
[15:48] <RingZer0> PolarFox: no, mostly networking ones
[15:48] <bahamas> how can i see hidden directories or files?
[15:48] <troy_> littlejoey_z thanks for your help but i still cant get it to work
[15:49] <littlejoey_z> troy_: sorry I am doing my best I am just a regular user :)
[15:49] <bahamas> i'm trying to set up vim with python, but i'm having trouble finding the directory and file mentioned in the instructions
[15:49] <aeon-ltd> bahamas: depends what file manager, nautilus has a option in one of its menus
[15:50] <bahamas> aeon-ltd: how do i find out what file manager? i'm using the shell.
[15:50] <Awsoonn> irssi question: when someone replies to you and the channel number turns pink, you go into the channel. is there a shortcut to see the last message with your name in it?
[15:50] <bastidrazor> bahamas: in gnome press  Ctrl + h   if you're using nautilus.. or use ls -a in terminal
[15:50] <littlejoey_z> ok nicholas_: let's try it the brute force way
[15:50] <aeon-ltd> bahamas: wait if you're in shell, 'ls -a' will show all files including hidden
[15:50] <doomgiver> hello
[15:50] <littlejoey_z> nicholas_: try sudo gedit /etc/modules &
[15:50] <troy_> littlejoey_z nevermind i think i just got it to work, helps to read directions to the end
[15:51] <Wavesonics> I'm trying to install mongo db stable from the ubuntu 10.10 repo ( downloads.mongodb.org/distros/ubuntu 10.10 10gen ) but it is trying to install all of the gfx & gui packages (this is a headless server) any idea why that would be?
[15:51] <doomgiver> i had windows installed, then got a bsod and a bad sector
[15:51] <bahamas> aeon-ltd: ok. i can't see any .vimrc or .vim, so i guess that means i have to create them
[15:51] <ifti> hi u
[15:51] <doomgiver> now it wont mount the volume, and i cant boot into windows
[15:51] <doomgiver> what do i do?
[15:51] <Xx3-lea-x3> cc
[15:51] <bastidrazor> Awsoonn: look at http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi   and you may want to add a 'hilight window'
[15:51] <aeon-ltd> bahamas: yeah but there is a system wide one, but generating one in your ~/ would be best
[15:52] <balzac5000> On Lucid, does the ubuntu-xen-server package allow you to run xen pv?
[15:52] <ifti> Hello every one
[15:52] <doomgiver> hello
[15:52] <bahamas> aeon-ltd: btw, does the dot in front of name make it invisible?
[15:53] <ifti> if any one here wanna chat with me
[15:53] <aeon-ltd> bahamas: yes
[15:53] <aeon-ltd> !ot | ifti
[15:54] <aeon-ltd> bahamas: but only in unix OSes
[15:54] <bahamas> aeon-ltd: and ~/ means home directory?
[15:54] <bahamas> aeon-ltd: yeah, i don't care about windows right now
[15:54] <ifti> ok
[15:54] <ifti> sorry for that
[15:54] <mjs7231> Hey, I'm having trouble with a cronjob.  It seems if I run the command manually to make a backup of my minecraft map it works fine.  But Each night when it gets run in my cronjob, the tgz file is always incomplete.  Do cronjobs maybe have a timeout or something that might be causing this?
[15:54] <aeon-ltd> bahamas: yeah
[15:55] <bahamas> aeon-ltd: ok, thank you
[15:55] <Awsoonn> bastidrazor: thanks, i like the hilight window dealio :)
[15:56] <aeon-ltd> bahamas: your welcome :)
[15:56] <bastidrazor> Awsoonn: that is a great site for setting up irssi themes.
[15:57] <bahamas> aeon-ltd: i'm having some difficulties. i'm in home, and i do gvim .vimrc. then i paste something and do :w, but i get an error saying that it can't open the file for writing? any idea what the problem is?
[15:57] <bahamas> do i need to create before hand and change permissions?
[15:58] <Guest61486> G'day my fellow Ubuntu inmates
[15:58] <bahamas> anyone else know?
[15:59]  * alessiofachechi dice "OLAAAAAAAA!!"
[16:00] <Awsoonn> ok, now for my the quest i came here for: is there a way to manaully force apt to use a proxy? I set my ssytme wide proxy but it appears apt is not using it.
[16:01] <Awsoonn> I want to verify this before I report a bug by manaully setting it up.
[16:02] <BoyBawang> hello everyone
[16:02] <aeon-ltd> bahamas: sorry i disconnected, did you send me any messages?
[16:02] <bahamas> aeon-ltd: yes
[16:02] <bahamas> aeon-ltd: i'm having some difficulties. i'm in home, and i do gvim .vimrc. then i paste something and do :w, but i get an error saying that it can't open the file for writing? any idea what the problem is?
[16:03] <Roasted_> Can anybody think of any reason why gksudo nautilus CANNOT change the owner recursively within the GUI to folders? gksudo dolphin can juuuust fine. nautilus cannot. Any ideas?
[16:03] <aeon-ltd> bahamas: use 'touch .vimrc' to write a file first
[16:04] <BoyBawang> im planning to host a contest here in our local school using ubuntu server, any ideas of what type of competition can be done aside from installation
[16:04] <bahamas> aeon-ltd: hmm. it tells me that permission is denied. do i need to sudo?
[16:04] <aeon-ltd> bahamas: are you logged in as the user that the home directory you're writing to
[16:05] <IdleOne> Roasted: you are pushing the button that says apply to all files at the bottom?
[16:05] <al16ma> CIAO A TUTTI
[16:05] <Roasted_> IdleOne, basically. I have a folder on myd esktop, and in terminal I assigned each of them to a different user that isnt me - root, www-data, etc.
[16:05] <al16ma> !LIST
[16:05] <Roasted_> IdleOne, the idea is, I want a GUI method of chmod -R.
[16:05] <bahamas> aeon-ltd: ok, it worked with touch ~/.vimrc. is there a difference?
[16:06] <Roasted_> IdleOne, dolphin (as root) does this fine. nautilus (as root) fails, and has failed since 2005....
[16:06] <IdleOne> Roasted_: file a bug
[16:06] <Roasted_> IdleOne, I'm just wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if I need to enable some sort of a setting within gconf-editor to allow that to happen.
[16:06] <bahamas> aeon-ltd: oh, i was in /home/, not in /home/my_user.
[16:06] <aeon-ltd> bahamas: good :)
[16:06] <Roasted_> IdleOne, because I've found some features of nautilus are hidden until you enable them to prevent users from self destructing their systems, and re-assigning ownership recursively via gui is one of htem I suppose.
[16:07] <bahamas> so, ~/ actually means /home/my_user
[16:07] <Roasted_> bahamas, yes, ~ is the univeral sign for "home"
[16:07] <Roasted_> bahamas, just like / is the universal sign for "root"
[16:08] <IdleOne> Roasted_: it may be hidden, I really am not sure but I have a button that says " Apply to all files in folder " at the bootom of the properties window.
[16:08] <aeon-ltd> bahamas: yeah, ~/ = your home, not a home
[16:08] <bahamas> Roasted: but doing touch ~/.vimrc created .vimrc in /home/my_user, not in /home. maybe i don't understand how linux works
[16:08] <Roasted_> IdleOne, that will apply permissions recursively, but not ownership or group changes.
[16:08] <Roasted_> IdleOne, that being said, if jason/jason owns EVERY SINGLE FOLDER within my target folder, I can re-assign perms accordingly. but I cannot change the owenrship or anything below that.
[16:08] <bastidrazor> bahamas: having .vimrc in /home isn't going to help you in anyway. you need it in you're /home/user
[16:09] <bahamas> aeon-ltd: i realize that it's not referring to a home as in a house with a roof and a fireplace, if that's what you meant
[16:09] <Roasted_> IdleOne, this gets annoying when I use external hard drives from 1 linux system to another. Sometimes it comes up as owned by user 999 or whatever, you know... users that dont exist. So I need to take over ownership and resorting to terminal for something simple is kinda. really??
[16:09] <blade0_0> can any1 tell me how to autostart byobu in terminal, without having to type the name in every time??
[16:09] <Roasted_> bahamas, I think that's because (keyword - THINK) because ~ refers to the "currently logged in user - home"
[16:09] <Roasted_> bahamas, if you're not sure how to use ~, I would avoid it. if you stick to direct UNC style paths, you won't fail - aka /home/jason, etc.
[16:10] <bahamas> Roasted: aah, that explains it.
[16:10] <Roasted_> bahamas, to be honest I can't think of a time I resorted to ~ instead of /home/user because I find it more practical to see what my path is doing, so /home/user is a direct - BAM - I see it. I know it. I can predict what will happen.
[16:10] <ni1s> my volume applet has gone missing, how do I get it back?
[16:10] <Roasted_> bahamas, but it's a good tipt o know, since some guides refer to ~ as home. It's good to be aware of it at least.
[16:10] <prov> I am stuck on this guide for creating encrypted CDs and DVDs http://savvyadmin.com/create-encrypted-cds-and-dvds-in-linux/  I am stuck when I get to the command "sudo mount -o loop,encryption=aes256 documents.iso /mnt" because loop is no longer supported. Does anyone know how to get this to proceed? I there another way?
[16:10] <bahamas> Roasted: well, i'm following some instructions, so since i don't know any better, i use them as they are.
[16:11] <bahamas> Roasted: yes, that makes sense. thanks for explaining
[16:11] <prov> I meant "Is there another way?"
[16:11] <Roasted_> bahamas, hey I hear ya there man. But if get stuck, try substituting /home/user for the ~ they're referring to.
[16:11] <Roasted_> bahamas, just a thought at least. That's what I do. :P
[16:11] <bahamas> Roasted: i didn't know they were equivalent. i'll know from now on. thanks

[16:16] <BlaDe^> Hi guys, my gmail isn't working -- it is on my server though, I checked with ping- i'm getting a packet loss and a really bad response time, how can I reset the dns cache to get a new server?
[16:16] <ikonia> BlaDe^: it won't be dns if ping is slow
[16:17] <BoyBawang> im planning to host a contest here in our local school using ubuntu server, any ideas of what type of competition can be done aside from installation
[16:17] <BlaDe^> ikonia:  how so? it's resolving to a bad server
[16:17] <ikonia> BoyBawang: not really on topic for this channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[16:17] <ohir> !ot | BoyBawang
[16:17] <ikonia> BlaDe^: ping is slow, it means that host is slow, nothing to do with dns
[16:17] <BoyBawang> oops
[16:17] <BoyBawang> sorry
[16:18] <BlaDe^> I want to use a different host - how do I flush the cache?
[16:21] <ming_> ..
[16:23] <osmosis_paul> somebody here use tomcat and "Context path"????\
[16:23] <osmosis_paul> nobody response in the tomcat channe;
[16:24] <Roasted_> Is there any way I can run memtest from within a live boot session of Ubuntu on a computer?
[16:25] <ecolitan> Roasted: yes but you dont want to, just boot from a cd
[16:25] <Roasted_> ecolitan, I was just curious if it was possible.
[16:26] <Roasted_> ecolitan, do you know how I can spin my own ubuntu ISO? I'd like to install soem applications like testdisk and respin Ubuntu as an ISO and put it on a flash drive to boot from for troubleshooting purposes here at work.
[16:27] <aeon-ltd> Roasted_: remastersys, or reconstructor
[16:27] <Agent007> My ubuntu is having a hard time viewing mp4 videos
[16:28] <Roasted_> aeon-ltd, do I have to install Ubuntu and the other programs then respin it, or do I add the programs via modules without having to install?
[16:28] <IdleOne> !remaster
[16:28] <Roasted_> aeon-ltd, also could I do this virtually and re-spin it within my virtual environment and push it over to my laptop?
[16:28] <Roasted_> thanks IdleOne

[16:31] <ychaouche> sorry, this is the message : mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0
[16:31] <Roasted_> I want to make a re-spin'd ISO of Ubuntu with a series of troubleshooting programs. Can anybody give me any ideas of things that would be relevant and useful to have on there? The only one that comes to mind is TestDisk and GParted (whcih is already included.) Is there anything else I could add tha tmight help?
[16:31] <ychaouche> FYI, i inserted a blank CD inside the cdrom
[16:32] <Agent007> Nevermind I Fixed it,no thanks to you
[16:34] <tobzi> Hi, i am woundering how i can easy see and format my Ubuntu partision on my Win7 dual boot system
[16:35] <bhaskar> i am installing vmplayer and facing problem " kernel header for inux-headers-2.6.35-22" is not found someone help me
[16:35] <ychaouche> tobzi, you can use gparted in a livecd session
[16:36] <bhaskar> i tried to point it to the /usr/and the required direcorty no help
[16:36] <tobzi> ychaouche: Wount it destroy Grub?
[16:36] <ychaouche> tobzi, what do you mean by "format my ubuntu partition" ?
[16:37] <ychaouche> tobzi, you want to delete it ? resize it ?
[16:37] <Agent007> Ok what media player plays mp4 files? VLC works but it slow mo's my video
[16:38] <bastidrazor> Agent007: mplayer does well
[16:38] <Agent007> mplayer slow mo's it too
[16:38] <tobzi> ychaouche: my friend has a laptop. 320Gb, 150 of that is a ubuntu ext3 parision , now he just want Win7 on it
[16:38] <IdleOne> Agent007: the issue is not the player being used in that case
[16:38] <Agent007> is it my graphics card then
[16:38] <tobzi> ychaouche: how do i easy remove Grub and ubuntu?
[16:38] <Roasted_> is kaspersky available for linux? I see they have a free linux based kaspersky rescue recovery program, but I figured I'd ask about having an actual installation of kaspersky on my computer.
[16:39] <ychaouche> tobzi, I think it will destroy the grub yes, you then have to use win7 autorepair, if that still exists (as in win xp etc.)
[16:39] <Mohan_chml> Roasted, there is no need for an "anti-virus"
[16:39] <Roasted_> Mohan_chml, there's always need for an anti virus.
[16:39] <tobzi> ychaouche: hehe thats what i was afraid of :( hmm
[16:39] <Mohan_chml> Roasted, ah a recovery program for doing what?
[16:40] <Roasted_> Mohan_chml, you might not be able to be infected by a windows virus on a linux system, but you can still spread windows viruses with ease.
[16:40] <ychaouche> tobzi, you can use gparted or equivalent on win7 then, and if you still have the win7 cd, you can try to boot from it and choose repair existing system (if that option exists)
[16:40] <Roasted_> Mohan_chml, well I have kaspersky rescue disk on a liveusb drive. I'm testing it now on an infected XP system and so far it works great. But I was curious about getting a native install of kaspersky on ubuntu and re-zipping the install as an ISO and adding it to my flash drive. I'd liek to boot to Ubuntu and have Kaspersky already there in a live session
[16:40] <artemis> hello , what its the  solution that problem to apt-get in ubuntu 10.04 , i have a error when i search a package
[16:41] <reggie_> hey folks
[16:41] <tobzi> ychaouche: I just think they have the recoverCD, iwounder if that will work?
[16:41] <reggie_> having an issue with permissions with synaptic can anyone help
[16:41] <sisif> Hello guys. Recently I just broke my bluetooth switch from my notebook and I`m no longer able to enable it. I know that for Windows there was a way to enable it from BlueSolei. I`m just wondering - is there such app / method for Linux also ?
[16:41] <reggie_> synaptic will not accept my password
[16:41] <Mohan_chml> Roasted, what is the isntallation extension of that kaspersky?
[16:42] <Mohan_chml> artemis, what kind of error is it showing?
[16:42] <Roasted_> Mohan_chml, its an ISO. ITs a rescue recovery meant SPECIFICALLY for live-cd and live-usb sessions only. I was just asking if anybody knows of a free kaspersky edition FOR linux that I could install.
[16:42] <bhaskar> anyone have installed vmware player
[16:42] <iceache> Hey, I'
[16:43] <bhaskar> help me out
[16:43] <nathwill> what's the proper way to load a kernel module at boot in Lucid? i finally got wireless figured out, but currently have to manually load b43 driver
[16:43] <blade0_0> reggie_, are u a privilaged user??
[16:43] <iceache> I'm having an issue with my laptop, Ubuntu detects my Wireless card, and shows me all the networks, but whenever I have to input my WEP Key, it will not connect
[16:43] <artemis> who are probe SPIP ?
[16:43] <reggie_> humm good question is that one of the groups
[16:43] <iceache> i know in Windows 7, my GF has this Bell Mobility Connect thing, I dunno if that would be something that would be necessary for Ubuntu as well?
[16:44] <blade0_0> reggie_, can u execute commands with sudo in the terminal??
[16:44] <Mohan_chml> Roasted, I just got http://www.kaspersky.com/anti-virus_linux_workstation and I cant dig more
[16:44] <bhaskar> any idea abt mplayer
[16:44] <reggie_> and since i dont see that listed how do I become a priviledge user?
[16:44] <reggie_> yes I can install and do other things just cant use synaptic
[16:44] <Visuex> bhaskar whats your mplayer issue? (just logged on)
[16:44] <reggie_> btw just to let you know blade0_0
[16:44] <Roasted_> Mohan_chml, I saw that too, but I wasnt able to figure out where the downloader is
[16:45] <reggie_> I was sent back here from ubuntu-server because I installed the gui
[16:45] <ikonia> reggie_: you can still ask in #ubuntu-server, join me in there and lets see if we can help out
[16:45] <IdleOne> Roasted_: doesn't seem there is a free version, there is a 30 day trial. I recommend you try clamav
[16:45] <bhaskar> visuex sorry i miss type its vmplayer and i am feeling sleepy that why mistyped
[16:45] <Mohan_chml> Roasted, if you are looking for downloading ut, then http://www.kaspersky.com/technews?id=203038740
[16:45] <reggie_> ok ikonia
[16:45] <Roasted_> IdleOne, I have clamav. Does clamav do spyware too? Kaspersky just sounded to be a little more well-rounded.
[16:46] <Visuex> ahh vmplayer as in vmware?
[16:46] <IdleOne> Roasted_: it may be more feature full but it is not free. as for clamav doing spyware also i don't know
[16:46] <sol326> Visuex: there are different flavors to vmware
[16:47] <sol326> you got server, esxi vmplayer.....etc
[16:47] <Visuex> sol326 certainly
[16:47] <Roasted_> IdleOne, maybe Ill jsut stick to the rescue disk they have. IT seems to have gotten great reviews, even on a list of 15 competitor applications it scored very high.
[16:47] <Visuex> was just trying to clarify
[16:48] <Visuex> Roasted_ are you trying to recover files?
[16:48] <Roasted_> Visuex, no, just trying to find alternative applications for live-cd virus scanning
[16:48] <Roasted_> for those stubborn windows systems that are so heavily infected they cant function
[16:49] <Roasted_> at first I was trying to find one that was linux based to add it to ubuntu for my re-spin of the ISO but I think I should just have kasperskyr escue disk handy anyway since it does such a good job imo
[16:49] <Visuex> systems so jacked up that they dont even boot such as a boot scanner?
[16:50] <Visuex> clamav is good for scanning but it doesnt remove anything so kind of pointless even if it did spyware
[16:50] <Roasted_> Visuex, I suppose. Im just doing more tech work on the side and want to be as prepared as possible.
[16:51] <Roasted_> I hate reformating systems. I try to avoid it even tho often times its the best thing to do.
[16:51] <Visuex> certainly takes forever so I avoid as well
[16:51] <Roasted_> I like clamav on my system, but stacked up against kaspersky I think Id take kaspersky...
[16:52] <IdleOne> Roasted_: we are going into offtopic realm now.
[16:52] <Roasted_> oh gosh. we don't want that! :P
[16:52] <IdleOne> nope
[16:52] <Visuex> I created a usb stick with a bunch of tools like a swiss army drive and I also made a liveusb of ubuntu...liveusb is so much better than livecd in realword use
[16:52] <Roasted_> bad news there brother.
[16:52] <IdleOne> Thanks for understanding :)
[16:53] <owner> I'm having some difficulties running video with totem movie player 2.32.0, it simply closes when I play the video . . . ?
[16:53] <Visuex> you will have to edit peoples bios sometimes to use a liveusb but I'd suggest that instead SO much faster
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> Visuex: not if the BIOS can't boot usb
[16:53] <Visuex> ActionParsnip I added a note for that but yea you are right...best option is having both
[16:53] <owner> When I try it with VLC only the audio works, black screen, no video?
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> owner: run  totem from terminal, the output may help
[16:54] <aeon-ltd> Visuex: also its not much faster, most livecds load to ram anyway
[16:54] <ActionParsnip> owner: have you install ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs from medibuntu repo
[16:54] <Visuex> owner have you installed proper codecs such as the restricted extras
[16:55] <Visuex> aeon-ltd it is faster for initial load...but yea once it ram its the same...just the initial for cd is so long
[16:55] <jlaroche> Hello. I am triple booting with windows 7, Mac osx and Ubuntu 10.04. I had a custom grub for my startup that worked fine. Today I ran updates in ubuntu and there was a new kernel, but it didn't show up in my grub when I restarted. I tried to run 'update-grub' after removing my 40_custom grub entry, but when I restarted my grub menu dissapeared. I am just in text mode now. Can anyone help? I backed up my 40_custom to my desktop before doing this.
[16:55] <gmitrev> hey guys
[16:56] <aeon-ltd> Visuex: yeah, on modern desktops its hardly noticeable but in systems over 4-5 years old - yeah definitely
[16:56] <gmitrev> i've just installed ubuntu on my friend's laptop
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> jlaroche: try: sudo apt-get install os-prober; sudo os-prober; sudo update-grub
[16:56] <gmitrev> and lamp as well
[16:56] <Visuex> aeon-ltd true...but its rare that I'm not working on an old one :)
[16:56] <owner> Audio now works but still no video
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> jlaroche: expensive system dude
[16:56] <gmitrev> but when i copy out php project in the localhost dir
[16:56] <gmitrev> it's not even shown in <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> owner: try gnome-mplayer (or smplayer if you use kde)
[16:56] <warez2down_com> I wanted to know if it's possible to install kde on ubuntu ?
[16:56] <gmitrev> i tried sudo chmod 777 -R folder
[16:57] <gmitrev> but it's still broken
[16:57] <aeon-ltd> warez2down_com: yes
[16:57] <warez2down_com> aeon-ltd, how can I do that ?
[16:57] <owner> I thought I installed the  ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs from medibuntu repo, how wood I check?
[16:57] <aeon-ltd> !kde
[16:57] <jlaroche> i get  " unknown command 'sudo' "
[16:57] <owner> using Ubuntu 10.04
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> warez2down_com: sure, you can install kubuntu-desktop for full fat, or kde-core and you will get fewer duplicated apps and the KDE
[16:58] <jlaroche> ActionParsnip: thanks
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> owner: install gnome-mplayer, mplayer is the daddy and pulls in a few codecs more
[16:58] <Visuex> gmitrev a lamp channel would probably help you the best... but in the future there is no need to split up what you are saying into that many lines...just put it all on one like this as it will be able to hold as much as you need it to
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> jlaroche: better?
[16:58] <warez2down_com> ActionParsnip, so I've to redownload kubuntu ??
[16:58] <aeon-ltd> !kde | warez2down_com
[16:58] <jlaroche> ActionParsnip: naw. I got unknown command 'sudo'.
[16:58] <jlaroche> ActionParsnip: I'm in a grub text menu
[16:58] <owner> I'm very new...wair/how wood I do this?
[16:59] <warez2down_com> ohhhh I see I'll try the link thanks :)
[16:59] <gmitrev> Visuex: my bad, sorry
[17:00] <Visuex> gmitrev no worries but the chmod shouldnt affect what you are doing as even 644 will be viewable
[17:00] <Visuex> it sounds like an error in the install as <IP_ADDRESS> is just the ip for localhost
[17:01] <Visuex> but first try using http://localhost/ instead of the ip - sometimes it likes to use that
[17:01] <owner> I found it installing now
[17:01] <iceache> anyone know how to get Ubuntu to connect to wireless network ? I'm using WEP encryption, and after I input my WEP Key, it just keeps trying to connect, then it keeps asking me to input the key, which i know is correct, my Wireless device is the Atheros AR5B93
[17:02] <_Tristan> I need some help figuring out which driver to use for my touchpad
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> warez2down_com: you can install the metapackage for full kde + kde apps, or just install kde-core for the desktop which you can run your gnome apps in
[17:02] <bhaskar> anyone have idea installing vmplayer
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> iceache: if you run: sudo lshw -C network    you should see your wireless chip, websearch for guides based on that
[17:03] <warez2down_com> ActionParsnip, ok I'm currently reading the help page on ubuntu website, thank you very much
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> !vmware | bhaskar
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> warez2down_com: np bro
[17:03] <Visuex> bhaskar why do you want vmplayer - why not use virtualbox (me likey vb)
[17:04] <owner> gnome-mplayer: video & audio works....Thx
[17:04] <krger> I thought Linux was supposed to be about the freedom to do whatever you want, including running whatever software you want?
[17:04] <gmitrev> Visuex: i think the problem is in the permissions. when i make a new folder in localhost folder, it's accessible through both http://localhost and <IP_ADDRESS>. But when i copy the folder from my computer and try to open it, i get Internal Server Error page
[17:04] <owner> bye by
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> jlaroche: sudo os-prober; sudo update-grub    should do it
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> mplayer rules on high above all
[17:04] <jlaroche> ActionParsnip: naw. I got unknown command 'sudo'.
[17:04] <Visuex> bhaskar although the VB in ubuntu is OSE which doesnt have USB support...download the deb files from their site to get the PUEL version for usb
[17:04] <Visuex> krger it is
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> jlaroche: sudo is part of a stock install of Ubuntu
[17:04] <bhaskar> visuex actually virtual box doesnt able to dial my modem in guest operating system
[17:05] <Tscheesy_> did anyone try on the n900 kubuntu-mobile ? http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-netbook/ports/releases/10.10/release/ubuntu-netbook-10.10-preinstalled-netbook-armel+omap.img.gz
[17:05] <Tscheesy_> ups - wron chan
[17:05] <Visuex> gmitrev so if you make something in the folder it works but if you make it outside and try to move it in there it doesnt work?
[17:05] <jlaroche> ActionParsnip: the machine boots up and just shows "GNU GRUB version 1.98-1ubuntu8"
[17:06] <jlaroche> ActionParsnip: the prompt says "grub>"
[17:06] <bhaskar> did u have tried it i wanted one virtual machine able to dial my modem
[17:06] <gmitrev> Visuex no, if i copy it from another computer or usb device
[17:06] <Visuex> bhaskar you shouldnt need to do that...I have my host connected via wifi and then I connect all my guests with NAT which just shares my host connection
[17:06] <jlaroche> ActionParsnip: if i type "sudo os-prober" i get "unknown command 'sudo'."
[17:07] <cyclist_2> Hello, there! I need some help with the program Zenity [or equivalent] as I cannot find what I need elsewhere; any knowledgeable user here?
[17:07] <robertcmk7> jlaroche: You're stuck on grub prompt. It has probably messed up your bootlist.
[17:07] <bhaskar> my internet is speed is slow i have low connectivity i wanted it just for fun
[17:07] <gmitrev> Visuex: the problem is present only when the folder comes from another computer or device
[17:07] <bhaskar> but i need it desperatily
[17:08] <rudi> apa?
[17:08] <Visuex> gmitrev try to take whatever is in usb move it to your comp without being in localhost and then to localhost from your comp...I know seems like a pointless extra step but might solve it
[17:08] <jlaroche> robertcmk7: do you know how I can fix it?
[17:08] <gmitrev> at first it says "You don't have permissions to access this folder"
[17:08] <sassua> !list
[17:08] <bhaskar> my internet is speed is slow i have low connectivity i wanted it just for fun visuex
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> jlaroche: what is the output of: lsb_release -c    ?
[17:09] <jlaroche> ActionParsnip: unknown command 'lsb_release'.
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> jlaroche: then you arent running linux, which is what Ubuntu is a distribution of
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> !lsb | jlaroche
[17:10] <Visuex> alright well if you want vmplayer and I cant change your mind then you can manually install it - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware
[17:11] <Visuex> gmitrev did that work?
[17:11] <robertcmk7> jlaroche: Sorry, I had the same problem. I fought it for hours and then gave up. Normal linux commands cannot be used in grub menu.
[17:11] <Visuex> bhaskar alright well if you want vmplayer and I cant change your mind then you can manually install it - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware
[17:11] <IdleOne> ActionParsnip: can't he just reinstall grub and be done with it?
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> IdleOne: the OS isn't supported here. Ubuntu has the LSB modules and the OS s/he has doesn't have the,
[17:12] <gmitrev> Visuex: no, i'm trying to think of something else. it just doesn't make any sence
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> jlaroche: wait are you in linux or the grub prompt?
[17:12] <pokoko222> i have problems including libraries in netbeans, it cant recognize iostream and other standard libraries
[17:12] <Visuex> is jlaroche the person who said they were triple booting?
[17:12] <jlaroche> i am running ubuntu 32bit 10.04
[17:13] <jlaroche> yea
[17:13] <IdleOne> ActionParsnip: he said he was triple booting, win/osx/ubuntu but when at a grub prompt he is very limited in commands
[17:13] <jlaroche> visuex: i am triple booting
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> jlaroche: kinda handy if you'd said so
[17:13] <jlaroche> Hello. I am triple booting with windows 7, Mac osx and Ubuntu 10.04. I had a custom grub for my startup that worked fine. Today I ran updates in ubuntu and there was a new kernel, but it didn't show up in my grub when I restarted. I tried to run 'update-grub' after removing my 40_custom grub entry, but when I restarted my grub menu dissapeared. I am just in text mode now. Can anyone help? I backed up my 40_custom to my desktop before doing this.
[17:13] <jlaroche> i did say so
[17:13] <bhaskar> visuex thanks well i have installed it but i am feeling sleepy that why i am not able to work byee
[17:13] <IdleOne> ActionParsnip: he did a couple times :)
[17:14] <Visuex> gmitrev indeed that does not...other than the fact that your USB is probably formatted to FAT32 which may change the permissions when a file is added to it
[17:14] <ActionParsnip> jlaroche: http://www.ubuntu-inside.me/2009/06/howto-recover-grub2-after-windows.html
[17:14] <Visuex> oh ok bhaskar ciao
[17:15] <ActionParsnip> jlaroche: 'text mode' can be just cli and booted, doesnt explicitly mean a grub prompt
[17:15] <Visuex> gmitrev the other computer is it running ubuntu as well
[17:16] <gmitrev> Visuex: we've tried ftp, skype transfer, usb transfer and everytime we get the same error. both PCs are running ubuntu
[17:16] <jlaroche> ActionParsnip: the machine boots up and just shows "GNU GRUB version 1.98-1ubuntu8"... the prompt says "grub>"
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> jlaroche: the link will help show you how to reinstall the loader from livecd
[17:17] <jlaroche> ActionParsnip: yeah, i'm working on it now. thanks
[17:18] <sv> can anybody help with the PAN thing in Ubuntu 10.10
[17:19] <sv> plsssssssssss
[17:19] <goltoof> !anyone
[17:20] <Visuex> gmitrev it may depend on the type of file but I have an idea which probably isnt the most elegant but could work... archive the files into a zip or whatever you like such as a tar and then transfer it anyway you want...then if it changes the permissions of the zip it shouldnt affect the contents of the archive
[17:20] <diego> fd
[17:20] <sv> anybody help me pls...
[17:20] <IdleOne> sv: ask your question
[17:20] <sv> I connected my phone via bluettoth today to my ubuntu 10.10
[17:21] <sv> it sowed somethinh like PAN
[17:21] <sv> i can connect yo my phone via the network menu
[17:21] <sv> i am using a nokkia phone
[17:21] <sv> and when i connect my phone it s detected as bnep0 network devoce
[17:22] <Visuex> sv you should be able to connect to it to browse files if thats what you are wanting through the Bluetooth applet in the top right of your top panel
[17:22] <sv> can i use the same to share the internet on my lap to my mobil?
[17:22] <sv> Sorry i nee to know can i share the internet on my lap with the mobile
[17:22] <sv> ..
[17:23] <Visuex> i dont understand why you would want to do that but I dont think most phones are built to allow that function
[17:23] <Visuex> what model phone is it
[17:23] <sv> nokia 2700c

[17:30] <ActionParsnip> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing
[17:30] <m_fulder> I've got a weird resolution problem ... if I startup my comp with a screen I can choose the resolution to 1680x1200 or something ... but then when I start it up without any screen - run VNC viewer the higher resolution I can choose is 800x400 :S .. why is that? can I change it somehow?
[17:30] <pankaj> wohoooooooo
[17:31] <m_fulder> highest*
[17:31] <pankaj> oh this is the ubuntu support channel
[17:31] <pankaj> nice
[17:31] <frego> I upgraded an Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04 and then to 10.10.  All appeared to go well until I booted a live cd and converted the ext2 filesystem to ext4.  Now I get a grub prompt upon booting and trying to troubleshoot, I used the 'find /boot/grub/stage1 and get "unknown command 'find'".  Any thoughts on how to boot this computer?
[17:31] <pankaj> could anyone tell me why ubuntu makes all .exe files non executable
[17:31] <pankaj> adn who to fix this
[17:32] <pankaj> and how to fix this
[17:32] <pankaj> just wondering lalalalalalala
[17:32] <pankaj> anyone here?
[17:32] <pankaj> i got wine
[17:33] <pankaj> but it won't run the .exe files
[17:33] <pankaj> because they are non executable
[17:33] <robertcmk7> m_fulder: I used the virtual resolution on Xorg.conf
[17:33] <pankaj> how do i fix this
[17:33] <frego> pankaj> sudo chmod +x myfile.exe
[17:34] <frego> pankaj> may not need to sudo it depending on ownership
[17:34] <salvatore> hallo... i find help ... any write in italian?
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: you can start by easing up on the enter key
[17:34] <ActionParsnip> frego: sudo isnt needed if the file is in $HOME
[17:34] <aeon-ltd> !it | salvatore
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> pankaj: is the windows binary on an NTFS partition?
[17:35] <salvatore> ubattu, scusa dove lo scrivo? è questo l'help che cerco ... sig sono vecchietto e capisco poco..
[17:35] <m_fulder> robertcmk7, is it hard to configure?

[17:38] <m_fulder> oki nice will try it out thanks
[17:38] <blocky> is it possible to use google pagerank to take a page and find out what search term would most likely lead you there?

[17:40] <slashsBin> help plz: i have ubuntu netbook remix with unity, i want to disable gnome on startup and boot to text-mode by default, then when i want switch back to gnome. any idea?
[17:40] <blackxored> hi
[17:41] <blackxored> I can't recall this app's name, what's the best tool you've used on a LAMP stack to stream video content???
[17:42] <robertcmk7> m_fulder Alright.  If I remember correctly, the newest versions don't use the old Xorg.conf file any longer. It had to be created anew, I think. Well, you'll find it in the tutorials.
[17:42] <ActionParsnip> robertcmk7: it can do though, if xorg.conf exists, it wil be obeyed
[17:42] <blackxored> I can't recall this app's name, what's the best tool you've used on a LAMP stack to stream video content???
[17:43] <spectre^> flash server
[17:43] <andy_> hey guys, whats the best solution for x11 forwarding
[17:43] <andy_> ive heard of NX, and x2go
[17:44] <robertcmk7> ActionParsnip: Yeah, I figured. Thanks. :)
[17:44] <m_fulder> ah right robertcmk7 well trying it on and hoping for the best :P
[17:45] <Scunizi> I'm trying to scp from /var/www on one machine to /var/www on another machine and am prompted for the password to the remote machine.  After entering it all files/directories respond with "Permission Denied" when trying to copy.  Any assistance appreciated.
[17:45] <Yerushalmi> Hey folks. If I disable wireless on my laptop, I can't reenable it without a reboot. Anyone know how to help?
[17:45] <Silicone> hello, is there any firewall on Ubuntu that can be turned off... seems he blocks some web content and some pages can't be displayed
[17:45] <Scunizi> Silicone: flash pages?
[17:46] <nibbler_> Silicone, execute in a shell: sudo iptables -n -L  (not sure if sudo is needed)
[17:46] <Silicone> Scunizi, no, skype, hotmail
[17:46] <slashsBin> Scunizi> u don't have enough permissions to write files to /var/www on remote machine
[17:47] <nibbler_> Silicone, but what you describe does not sound like firewalling issue (might be... but unlikely)
[17:47] <Galindar> hello, i just added my Firewall to my startup applications. would this be the correct command to use? should i run the firewall as root?:  su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/firestarter
[17:47] <Silicone> nibbler, firebug says that css script cannot be downloaded
[17:47] <Scunizi> slashsBin: so maybe I should do it in the reverse.. ssh into the other server and initiate the copy from there?
[17:47] <Silicone> try that url in browser....not loading
[17:48] <nibbler_> Silicone, so what does the iptables -n -L tell you? (nopaste, if you dont understand the output)
[17:49] <Silicone> nibbler_, onput, output, forward accepted pro opt source )
[17:49] <Silicone> nibbler_, really, don't know what it is
[17:49] <slashsBin> Scunizi> yep that should work but u need a ssh-server on ur local, so instead u can ssh to remote host & add enough permissions for scp user to /var/www
[17:49] <Silicone> nibbler_, )
[17:49] <nibbler_> Silicone, so nopate the output (see topic paste.ubuntu.com
[17:50] <Scunizi> slashsBin: got ssh-server running on both machine.. and they are both on my LAN
[17:51] <Silicone> nibbler_, i did not pasted, just told you what was written
[17:51] <slashsBin> ok then, that should work, remember u need write permissions in ur local for the scp user too
[17:51] <nibbler_> Silicone, nopaste please, i dont understand some of your line
[17:52] <Scunizi> slashsBin: how do I add the permissions?
[17:52] <Drakeson> is there a joint email+calendar+addressbook application with sqlite as backend?
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: the folder will be owned by root:www-data  if you add yourself to the group and give the group write access it should be ok, or you can copy to $HOME, ssh over and sudo cp the data to where it needs to go
[17:52] <Silicone> nibbler_, ^(
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> Scunizi: check the ownership of the folder just to be sure
[17:53] <Scunizi> ActionParsnip: this is a new server I'm copying files to so I haven't added the user to www-data yet.. how do I do that via cli?
[17:53] <slashsBin> Scunizi> yep follow ActionParsnip
[17:53] <Scunizi> slashsBin: thanks
[17:54] <MaindotC> Does anyone here re-stream stuff on justin.tv or ustream?
[17:54] <dajhorn> Drakeson: The best that you'll probably find is a shared Maildir.   Why do you need this?
[17:55] <Yerushalmi> Hey folks. If I disable wireless on my laptop, I can't reenable it without a reboot. Anyone know how to help?
[17:55] <Silicone> so, maybe someone else know what to do?  also the domain doesn't resolve the ip
[17:56] <Silicone> a bit of help will be really apreciated
[17:57] <JohnFlux_> What's the command to upgrade the distro?
[17:57] <JohnFlux_> I want to upgrade from 9.04 to 10.04
[17:57] <erUSUL> !upgrade | JohnFlux_
[17:57] <JohnFlux_> yeah I just read that and couldn't see
[17:58] <JohnFlux_> it just had the GUI way to do it
[17:58] <RingZer0> I know this may be the wrong place to ask, but we are trying to migrate all of our workstations at the office over to Ubuntu.  However, for compatibility reasons, we need to be able to have 1 computer setup with the ability to run a list of windows programs... We have large servers as well.  What kind of combo of virtualization with Microsoft Server software would we need for these ubuntu clients to "hook into" a virtual network
[17:58] <Silicone> !paste
[17:59] <JohnFlux_> ah, do-release-upgrade
[17:59] <Galindar> hello, i just added my Firewall to my startup applications. should i run the firewall as root?:  su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/firestarter
[18:00] <dajhorn> RingZer0: You could buy a Microsoft Terminal Services License and connect to it through the `rdesktop` program.   You could also run your Windows applications in Wine or CrossOver.  You don't necessarily need to virtualize.
[18:02] <mbeierl> in top, does the RSS (resident share) include the SHR mem size, or do I add the two together to determine the actual footprint of the process?
[18:04] <JohnFlux_> mbeierl: "actual footprint" is a bit tricky
[18:04] <JohnFlux_> mbeierl: best way is to kill the process, see what "free" says, then run the process and see what "free" says
[18:05] <mbeierl> JohnFlux_: yes, you're right.  I've got to measure the impact of using Java vs. Perl as an interpreter.  BeanShell is my friend ;)
[18:05] <Silicone> does anybody want to know what was the problem? :)
[18:05] <Silicone> i solved
[18:05] <Yerushalmi> Hey folks. If I disable wireless on my laptop, I can't reenable it without a reboot. Anyone know how to help?
[18:05] <dajhorn> mbeierl: The RES column can include the SHR column, but the numbers can be confusing.  Don't do application profiling with `top`.
[18:06] <sol326> yeru: it depends on what kind of laptop you have
[18:06] <mbeierl> dajhorn: k.  Just wanted to see if I could get broad brush strokes
[18:06] <dajhorn> mbeierl: Most people care about RES.  On my workstation,  few things are above 64MB in the SHR column.
[18:07] <dajhorn> mbeierl: Remember that the RES column can be reduced by swapping out.  An easy way to get a better number is to `swapoff -a` before looking at top.
[18:08] <mbeierl> dajhorn: ya, and from this perspective, the java interpreter runs around 22m RES and perl around 2mb RES
[18:08] <mbeierl> dajhorn: as I said, simple broad brushstrokes to give an idea to mgmt
[18:08] <dajhorn> mbeierl: Heh.  Well, you are comparing Java to Perl.  :)
[18:09] <Dr_Willis> !ics
[18:09] <Lugash> now this is humanity
[18:09] <mbeierl> dajhorn: exactly.  it's about what I expected but just wanted to make sure I wasn't reporting incorrectly as in, well, it's 22m but 10m is SHR
[18:10] <ajopaul> !grub
[18:12] <_Tristan> how long does it typically take for drivers to be developed for new hardware?
[18:13] <dyaga> hello
[18:13] <dyaga> hey bitches
[18:14] <Roasted_> lol ban
[18:14] <dyaga> oh yeah
[18:14] <LjL> dyaga: please control your language and compliments
[18:14] <dajhorn> _Tristan: Ubuntu doesn't usually do major driver upgrades between releases.  You'll need to wait for Natty, or find a PPA with the driver that you need.
[18:14] <Roasted_> dajhorn, aren't the "driver" releases part of the linux kernel tho?
[18:15] <dajhorn> Roasted_: Yes, drivers are part of the kernel package.
[18:15] <LjL> Roasted_: well, Ubuntu doesn't usually do major kernel upgrades either, does it
[18:15] <Roasted_> sooooooooo with each kernel release... you get more driver support...
[18:15] <Roasted_> LjL, right
[18:15] <Roasted_> LjL, but saying you need to find a PPA for a driver threw me off since I thought a simpler answer was waiting for kernel releases...
[18:16] <Torikun1> How can I disable 3D acceleration on UNR?
[18:16] <LjL> Roasted_: well a driver can be shipped as a kernel module
[18:16] <dajhorn> Roasted_: I said that.   People asking about drivers is a hint that they're coming from Windows.
[18:16] <LjL> Roasted_: while not necessarily being part of the Linux source tree
[18:16] <_Tristan> I'm not coming from windows..?
[18:16] <LjL> Torikun1: Unity requires 3D acceleration to work
[18:16] <Torikun1> ah
[18:17] <Torikun1> LjL That will be a problem for many people I think since they are forcing unity in the next release
[18:17] <_Tristan> what I mean is, should I be scouring the internet for my touchpad driver, or should I just keep upgraded and wait for it to start working?
[18:17] <ajopaul> when installing ubuntu to a windows m/c, can I keep the windows MBR, and yet boot to ubuntu partition through a USB?
[18:17] <LjL> Torikun1: can't say i disagree
[18:17] <LjL> Torikun1: however, there will be a fallback i believe
[18:18] <Torikun1> Unity runs slow on this laptop, crappy Intel GMA
[18:18] <Steve132> Hey, so I'm running ubuntu under a new core i7
[18:18] <Torikun1> ty for the guiadance LjL
[18:18] <Steve132> nehalem
[18:18] <Awsoonn> I need some help getting apt to use my proxy @ work. I set up the system wide proxy and it works with all of my other apps, but I can't update. I'm using 10.10
[18:18] <Paddy_NI> ajopaul, If you install the bootloader to the usb from ubuntu
[18:18] <dajhorn> Ubuntu is pushing hard for cutting edge graphics.  The xorg stack that shipped in Maverick was nearly a beta.
[18:18] <_Tristan> Awsoonn: there's an easier way if you're willing to use synaptic instead
[18:18] <Torikun1> gnome-shell requires 3d accelleration ?
[18:18] <Pici> !ot
[18:18] <Steve132> and although my cpu is supposed to run at 2.93 ghz
[18:18] <Steve132> on each core
[18:19] <Roasted_> OMG OT
[18:19] <LjL> Awsoonn: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#Setting up apt-get to use a http-proxy
[18:19] <LjL> Torikun1: i believe so
[18:19] <Steve132> the performance indicators show it running at 933 mhz in low-power mode
[18:19] <Steve132> and 1.73 ghz in high-power mode
[18:19] <craigbass1976> I haven't done much IM since moving to Lucid.  I'm used to Pidgin, and whatever GNOME uses by default now acts very different.  Where's the best place to read about the indicator applet?
[18:19] <craigbass1976> !indcator applet
[18:19] <Steve132> I'm wondering if there's a way to like...double-check?
[18:19] <ajopaul> Paddy_NI, ok so i will get this option(to install to a USB), during the partition option
[18:20] <dajhorn> Steve132: Add the CPU Frequency Scaling monitor to the panel.  It has an option that pins the CPU to maximum clock.
[18:21] <StrangeCharm> the clock panel on my gnome bar has turned into a white rectangle. how can i fix this?
[18:21] <Steve132> Yeah, thats what I'm looking at here
[18:21] <v3n0w> Hello guys. My network icon, is missing, but my network is working, how can I get the icon back?
[18:21] <Steve132> and the max cpu scale option is 1.73 ghz
[18:21] <Steve132> which seems wrong to me
[18:21] <loculinux> ???
[18:21] <loculinux> wazap
[18:21] <dajhorn> Steve132: Okay, then you probably have a 1.73 GHz CPU.   What does your /proc/cpuinfo file say?
[18:21] <usuario_> ola
[18:21] <loculinux> qe onda raza
[18:21] <usuario_> k tal
[18:21] <usuario_> ??
[18:21] <loculinux> aqui nomas
[18:21] <Awsoonn> it appears that apt was ignoring my env var but it works with the apt.conf THANK YOU!
[18:21] <loculinux> kalando el loculinux
[18:22] <loculinux> ^
[18:22] <ElNota> loculinux: En inglés porfavor, o sino ve a #ubuntu-es
[18:22] <bastidrazor> Steve132: cpufreq-info should give some insight
[18:22] <Paddy_NI> ajopaul, SuperGrubDisk is good for this
[18:22] <loculinux> hcaaaa qe culeros ya me voi mejor
[18:22] <Steve132> it says that my cpu is 1.73
[18:22] <Paddy_NI> ajopaul, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/
[18:22] <Steve132> which is right...according to the wiki on the processor I ahve
[18:22] <craigbass1976> Ahh... I figured it out
[18:22] <Steve132> thats the base clock frequenc
[18:22] <dajhorn> Steve132: Okay, if cpuinfo says that you have a 1.73, then you probably do.
[18:23] <Paddy_NI> ajopaul, you want the supergrub2 disk
[18:23] <dajhorn> Steve132: Why are you expecting it to be 2+ GHz?   Overclocking?
[18:23] <BajK> what is the console command for adding a repository? apt-add something
[18:23] <Steve132> but the clarksfield processors (which is what I have) have the turbo mode thing (that was on tv) that is supposed to scale them up to 2.73
[18:24] <Steve132> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_i7_microprocessors#.22Clarksfield.22_.2845_nm.29
[18:24] <Steve132> I've got the 740QM
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> BajK: sudo add-apt-repository link
[18:24] <BajK> ActionParsnip: thx
[18:24] <v3n0w> Hello guys. My network icon, is missing, but my network is working, how can I get the icon back?
[18:25] <Steve132> there's a post that sorta references this vaguely: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_i7_microprocessors#.22Clarksfield.22_.2845_nm.29
[18:25] <Steve132> oops
[18:25] <Steve132> sorry
[18:25] <littlejoey> v3n0w: left click on the panel, and then add it
[18:25] <ajopaul> Paddy_NI, thanks will check this
[18:25] <Steve132> http://kolbusa.livejournal.com/71066.html
[18:25] <Steve132> but its sorta light on info, and then my only other source of info is kernel development logs that say its supported
[18:26] <Steve132> but I don't have any idea how to enable it
[18:26] <dajhorn> Steve132: There are some LaunchPad bugs for turbo boost.  A quick googling says to test it with acpi=off.
[18:27] <v3n0w> littlejoey, There is no one there to add :(
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> v3n0w: alt+f2 and run: nm-applet
[18:27] <Steve132> I have no idea what that means
[18:27] <BajK> ah forgot the most important part when kinstalling kubuntu :) sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio :)
[18:27] <Steve132> where would I set acpi=off?
[18:27] <littlejoey> v3n0w: open the terminal and yeah click nm-applet
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> v3n0w: its not needed (as you can see) to make the network work, so having it if you dont intend to change any network settings (add new wireless links) is unnecesary
[18:28] <_ahaz_> Anyone have experience with ddrescue?
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> Steve132: /etc/default/grub  next to quiet splash   run: sudo update-grub  after changing and saving the new file
[18:28] <v3n0w> littlejoey, An instance of nm-applet is already running.
[18:28] <dajhorn> Steve132:  At the kernel command line.   Hold the right shift key at boot time to get the grub menu,  push 'e' at the kernel line, and append 'acpi=off' to the other options.
[18:28] <Galindar> Hello all. I added my Firewall to Startup Applications. Should I run the firewall as root at startup?: su-to-root -X -c /usr/sbin/firestarter
[18:28] <huizzzu> hello! got a nasty problem with gdm - PAM-MOUNT - ldap and smb-userhomes
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> littlejoey: using a terminal would mean the terminal would NEED to be open for the app to run, using ALT+F2 removes this necessity
[18:29] <dajhorn> Steve132:  acpi=off is only for troubleshooting, and shouldn't be a permanent setting because it will probably disable all power management.
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> Galindar: firestarter is only a gui to iptables, so it doesnt need to run
[18:29] <_sjm_> quick question: how to setup a wireless NIC to auto-connect on boot?  (SSID not broadcasting on AP, WPA)
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> dajhorn: some lappys need it to get sound
[18:30] <v3n0w> ActionParsnip, Can start it anyway. I think is a problem with the system trya itself, I just have minimized a emenese and lost it.
[18:30] <dajhorn> _sjm_: You need to create a stanza in the /etc/network/interfaces file.   The man page has syntax for things like the SSID.
[18:30] <Galindar> ActionParsnip: so my firewall is always on? even if i dont run the Firestarter application?
[18:30] <littlejoey> v3n0w: sorry I was away. you can type in, in a terminal, pkill nm-applet, and then nm-applet (of course you would lose the connection for a minute, but it might work)
[18:31] <_sjm_> dajhorn, ok, thanks (and I assume remove network manager?)
[18:31] <huizzzu> anyone experienced with pam_mount?
[18:31] <dajhorn> _sjm_: No, removing nm-applet is unnecessary.
[18:31] <v3n0w> littlejoey, ** (nm-applet:2089): DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0
[18:32] <_sjm_> dajhorn, thanks, I'm off to try to get the incantations correct...
[18:32] <v3n0w> littlejoey, And cant see it still
[18:32] <v3n0w> littlejoey, I think is a problem with the system tray
[18:32] <dajhorn> _sjm_: Welcome.  Look at the iwconfig(8) man page too.
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> Galindar: yes, when you first installed it the firewall was on, although not very configured
[18:32] <stefano> hi
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> v3n0w: then readd the indicator applet to the bar
[18:32] <littlejoey> v3n0w: I don't know, try the ubuntu forums (unless someone here knows) sorry...
[18:32] <Galindar> ActionParsnip:  thank you. much appreciated.
[18:33] <huizzzu> any help with pam_mount config?
[18:33] <v3n0w> ActionParsnip, I dont undestand
[18:34] <Steve132> sorry, I got d/ced
[18:34] <Steve132> any thouhgts?
[18:34] <tomreyn> hi. i'm having a lot of "400 bad request" http errors lately with firefox 3.6.12 on maverick in many but not all cases when I submit a POST request.
[18:34] <tomreyn> is this a known issue, was it discussed here before?
[18:35] <kpkarl> I noted in Ubuntu 10.10 KDE applications are themed like GTK applications. This annoys me, anyone know how I can remove or turn this off?
[18:35] <v3n0w> ActionParsnip, How can I do that?
[18:35] <littlejoey> kpkarl: there is a package for that, I forgot what it is called hang on
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> v3n0w: right click the panel -> add item  add the indicator applet
[18:35] <bigdad1e> hi everyone, im back lol
[18:36] <bigdad1e> can anyone give me a hand on setting up an ftpserver?
[18:36] <sjk_> hi, can somebody help me with a problem on ubuntu/samba?
[18:36] <goltoof> !anyone | bigdad1e
[18:36] <Steve132> what does acpi=off?
[18:37] <v3n0w> ActionParsnip, I see. But it only duplicates the sound and letter icon =/ It seens that the problem is before it...
[18:37] <littlejoey> kpkarl: this page might help a bit http://thedarkmaster.wordpress.com/2007/07/03/kde-applications-looking-bad-in-gnome-lets-fix-em-up/
[18:37] <kpkarl> thanks littlejoey
[18:37] <littlejoey> Steve132: acpi is related to power management
[18:37] <littlejoey> I think...
[18:37] <bigdad1e> does anyone know how to setup and ftpserver?
[18:37] <littlejoey> !acpi
[18:37] <Steve132> yeah, it is
[18:37] <Steve132> but
[18:37] <Pici> !enter
[18:38] <Steve132> I got dced in the middle of a conversation with...someone, who recommended solving my problem with acpi=off, but I got d/ced before he could explain
[18:38] <littlejoey> Steve132: it might be related to sleep/hibernate, let's see if I can find more info on the web
[18:38] <sjk_> i install ubuntu server 10.04 i generate unix users and conveted them to samba but, every user can acces all homes folders, how can i make all homes private for every user?
[18:39] <littlejoey> Steve132: what was your problem?
[18:39] <Steve132> I have a new i7/nehelem
[18:39] <Steve132> processor
[18:39] <bindi> nehalem!
[18:39] <goltoof> !vsftp | bigdad1e
[18:39] <littlejoey> Steve132: who was the person helping you? maybe I'll just copy paste what they wrote
[18:39] <goltoof> !vsftpd
[18:40] <bindi> 20:29 < dajhorn> Steve132:  acpi=off is only for troubleshooting, and shouldn't be a permanent setting because it will probably disable all power management.
[18:40] <littlejoey> or keep explaining
[18:40] <bindi> missed this?
[18:40] <Steve132> yeah my bad.  Anyway, it runs in turbo mode at 2.73 ghz, but linux reports it at running at 1.73 ghz
[18:40] <littlejoey> ic
[18:40] <goltoof> bigdad1e:    start here   https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/ftp-server.html
[18:40] <bigdad1e> goltoof: i just need help configuring pure-ftpd
[18:41] <goltoof> bigdad1e: don't think i ever used pure
[18:41] <Alarm> hello, can anyone tell me what is the solution finally to the problem with firefox and flash player ? i read any single solution i could find on the web and tried . but no good results
[18:41] <Steve132> which makes sense, because the chip itself runs at 1.73 ghz, but obviously it would be nice to, you know, run at not 50% speed?
[18:41] <Alarm> any suggestions ?
[18:41] <littlejoey> Steve132: good point, I will look it up on the web hang on
[18:41] <Alarm> i tried changing some settings to 'true' , installed the .so file from the adobe website
[18:41] <bigdad1e> goltoof: is vsftp easier? is there a gui to configure users?
[18:41] <Alarm> nothing seems to fix the problem
[18:41] <xangua> Alarm: flash sucks in linux
[18:42] <imacode> xangua, SSD ?
[18:42] <goltoof> bigdad1e:   not sure if its easier or whatnot.. i think it's way more popular though
[18:42] <Alarm> so i guess there isnt anything else i can do ? :P
[18:42] <xangua> Alarm: if you just want to install flash plugin better install it from the software channel
[18:42] <Steve132> so my question can be summarized as "How to enable/check turbo mode under ubuntu?" and the answer I got was "turn acpi off"
[18:42] <Alarm> what do you mean software channel ?
[18:42] <bigdad1e> goltoof:  is there a gui to configure users?
[18:42] <goltoof> bigdad1e:   don't care if there's a gui, so idk :P
[18:42] <bigdad1e> goltoof:  lol
[18:42] <littlejoey> Steve132: your bug is this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/516325
[18:42] <goltoof> bigdad1e:  you don't like cli do you?
[18:43] <imacode> Alarm, the repository of ubuntu. collection of all packages...
[18:43] <bigdad1e> goltoof:  im new to all this
[18:43] <goltoof> bigdad1e:   you know, it's not a bad thing to get used to if you're going to stick to this linux thing
[18:43] <sjk_> yes i have webmin installed
[18:43] <Alarm> oh i did, thats how i had it in the begining , thats why i uninstalled it and downloaded it from adobe
[18:44] <goltoof> bigdad1e: system/ftp users are configured in parallel quite easily from command line
[18:44] <bigdad1e> goltoof:  i know, i just dont want to burn myself out on it.
[18:44] <dajhorn> Steve132: Setting acpi=off is a troubleshooting step to determine whether you are affected by the bug that littlejoey linked.
[18:44] <Steve132> ok
[18:44] <Steve132> so how do I do that?
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> Steve132: /etc/default/grub  next to quiet splash   run: sudo update-grub  after changing and saving the new file
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> Steve132: edit the grub file
[18:47] <Steve132> ok
[18:47] <Steve132> so, before I do this
[18:47] <Steve132> http://code.google.com/p/i7z/
[18:47] <Steve132> I'm running that
[18:48]  * ftg2 is looking for a package that provides an offline copy of http://api.kde.org/
[18:48] <Steve132> and it reports speeds up to 3.01 ghz on the busiest core
[18:48] <Steve132> under heavy load...so it seems to be working, but not reporting.  is there a patch/fix to make the sensors applet correctly read/interpret turboboost?
[18:49] <Steve132> if not, I can live without it
[18:49] <jadahl_> ftg2: you could use a crawler that downloads/mirrors everything under http://api.kde.org/4.5-api/
[18:49] <dajhorn> Steve132: No, and this seems to be by design.  If you do a web search, you can see some discussion about how the /proc/cpuinfo and _freq are reported.
[18:49] <_jesse_> ftg2: you could wget to grab a copy
[18:49] <jbroome> ftg2: wget -m
[18:50] <dajhorn> Steve132: The turbo clock isn't reported because it isn't sustainable.
[18:50] <Steve132> sustainable?
[18:50] <tomreyn> i'm having a lot of "400 bad request" http errors lately with firefox 3.6.12 on maverick in many but not all cases when I submit a POST request. is this a known issue, was it discussed here before?
[18:50] <goltoof> bigdad1e:   to answer your question, no there isn't a gui for vsftpd, here's a thorough tutorial though: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=518293
[18:50] <dajhorn> Steve132: The cpu cannot run at 3.00 forever, just very short periods.
[18:51] <bigdad1e> goltoof:  thank you. ill give it a shot
[18:51] <ftg2> jadahl_ jbroome: yeah. thats an option. i just figured it was probably shipped in a package like the other docs i've installed recently
[18:51] <littlejoey> tomreyn: it is good to have several browsers so that if one has a problem you could use the other (it is not a real fix but it's easier than a real fix...)
[18:51] <Steve132> so the idea is that it doesn't appear as an option for a clock speed like "performance/ondemand/etc"
[18:51] <Steve132> because users can't/shouldn't set it to 3.0 mode?
[18:51] <dajhorn> Steve132: Yes.
[18:51] <Steve132> that makes sense
[18:51] <Steve132> ok
[18:52] <Steve132> cool
[18:52] <Steve132> thank you for your help
[18:52] <dajhorn> Steve132:  Welcome.
[18:52] <littlejoey> tomreyn: that being said I have had problems with firefox and hotmail, I couldn't access the emails a week ago, due to perhaps some javascript problem
[18:52]  * dajhorn is getting flashes to when people asked for a "turbo" sticker on their new Pentiums.
[18:53] <Steve132> different question...when I got disconnected just now, it was because I closed the lid on my laptop and it went into suspend/hibernate
[18:53] <Steve132> and when I came back/logged in
[18:53] <Steve132> I got some gnome error (I don't rememeber) and the gnome theme was reset to like, some ugly grey default
[18:54] <Steve132> I can't seem to figure out how to reset/reconfigure it
[18:54] <wasutton3-work> how would i convert my linux device names to grub2 device identifiers? (i.e. /dev/sda1 -> (hd0,1) )
[18:54] <tomreyn> littlejoey: thanks for getting back to me. i'm afraid those hints aren't too helpful in my case, though.
[18:54] <dajhorn> wasutton3-work: `grub-probe --device --target=fs_uuid`
[18:54] <goltoof> Steve132:   sudo pkill gnome-panel ... sometimes does the trick
[18:55] <Xuodin> guys, can i get help? i`m new so i wanna know how to change color of my name and text in chat?
[18:55] <littlejoey> tomreyn: no problem, I am doing my best, now it is time to eat... laters all
[18:55] <goltoof> Steve132:  or you might need to reset your appearance settings...  System > Preferences > Appearance
[18:55] <goltoof> Xuodin:   what client?
[18:55] <dajhorn> wasutton3-work: The (hd0) style of naming depends on the BIOS order, which can be unreliable.   The (hd0) names are overridden by the map file.
[18:56] <Xuodin> irc?
[18:56] <Steve132> tried both of those...didn't work...its not just the panel: its every gnome widget
[18:56] <_jesse_> Xuodin: he's asking which irc client are you using
[18:56] <goltoof> Xuodin:  irc is a protocol  :)   I'm reffering to the actual program you use to do irc
[18:56] <dajhorn> wasutton3-work:  See also:  `grub-probe --device --target=drive /dev/sda`
[18:57] <wasutton3-work> dajhorn: ok
[18:57] <BigMao> Hi there, I've been using Pidgin 2.7.5 for a while, and lately I haven't been able to log onto MSN because of a certificate problem.  Is it advisable to build 2.7.6 from source or wait for the package to be updated on the repositories?  Thank you!
[18:57] <goltoof> Steve132:  so when you select other themes it doesn't apply them?
[18:57] <goltoof> !who
[18:57] <Xuodin> _jesse_: what is a client? how can i know? sorry...
[18:57] <Steve132> basically, yeah
[18:58] <_jesse_> Xuodin: which program did you run to connect to IRC? are you on the webchat client?
[18:58] <Pici> BigMao: the package is in maverick-proposed, after a bit of testing it should move into maverick-updates.
[18:58] <Steve132> It seems to apply them to the window borders, but only the window borders
[18:58] <BigMao> Pici, will it go into Lucid too? Perhaps I will just add maverick-proposed.
[18:58] <Xuodin> _jesse_: oh, xchat
[18:58] <hello> hi, I want to install 10.10 I have a sata blu ray drive and put the cd into it, it can boot from it but asks for a special driver after detecting the keyboard (alternate install). Live CD crashes
[18:58] <goltoof> Steve132:   there are different settings for different regions of gnome..  ie, controls, icons, window border... did you try them all?
[18:58] <Pici> BigMao: Don't add maverick-proposed.  You will break your system if you're running Lucid.
[18:59] <BigMao> Pici, I'll just download the package then. :)
[18:59] <wasutton3-work> dajhorn: it is complaining about not having any operand for --device
[18:59] <jonthue> hey having trouble with emerald on unbuntu 10.10 i tried emerald --replace but when i close the console it goes back to regular theme
[18:59] <_jesse_> Xuodin: ah I see, did you read over the settings on http://xchat.org/docs/xchat-5.html ?
[18:59] <Steve132> yes
[18:59] <_jesse_> Xuodin: there are some settings related to color
[19:00] <goltoof> Xuodin:   if xchat is what you're using then type  /j #xchat
[19:00] <dajhorn> wasutton3-work: sudo grub-probe
[19:00] <Xuodin> _jesse_: thanks allot, sure this will help, cheers m8
[19:00] <wasutton3-work> dajhorn: nevermidn i found it
[19:01] <BigMao> Pici, I am curious, how do I search the maverick-proposed repository?
[19:01] <Xuodin> goltoof: thanks also
[19:01] <bastidrazor> jonthue: add an & to the end of the command
[19:01] <goltoof> Xuodin:   npr
[19:01] <frxstrem> what is the easiest way to recover deleted files and directories on an ext4 file system?
[19:01] <gladiator> im trying to mount a disk since morning and its not working..
[19:02] <jonthue> & at the end of emerald --replace?
[19:02] <dajhorn> BigMao: There are instructions in the bug report to get it working without a package  upgrade.  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/676972
[19:02] <Pici> BigMao: It doesn't look like its exposed via packages.ubuntu.com. I checked earlier wtih launchpad and rmadison manually.
[19:02] <bigdad1e> goltoof:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/535627/    is this normal
[19:02] <ActionParsnip> gladiator: you mount partitions, not disks
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> frxstrem: your backups
[19:03] <gladiator> fdisk shows it as W95 FAT32 but when i try to mount it using mount -t vfat /dev/sda5 /media/Data and it says wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5, missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[19:03] <bastidrazor> jonthue: yes, emerald --replace &
[19:03] <gladiator> ActionParsnip, i know. trying to mount a partition.
[19:03] <jonthue> ok ty
[19:03] <frxstrem> ActionParsnip: umm....I do not make backups (probably should, though)
[19:04] <jonthue> is it possible to mount iso like Daemon on windows
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> frxstrem: if your data is important, you should
[19:04] <andy_> hey guys is NX the best thing for x11 forwarding?
[19:04] <BigMao> Pici and dajhorn, I think I got it by going to the link : http://www.getdeb.net/software/pidgin.  In "About", it doesn't say the version is updated, but I'm able to log in now. :)
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> !mount | gladiator
[19:05] <LjL> !mountiso
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> BigMao: why not use the pidgin dev ppa?
[19:05] <jonthue> ok
[19:05] <BigMao> ActionParsnip, I didn't know about these things before .. :P
[19:06] <gladiator> ActionParsnip, so? there doesnt appear to be anything wrong with what im doing. in normal circumstances, it would work just fine. /media/Data is a directory
[19:06] <dajhorn> BigMao: Where did you hear about getdeb?  -- Many people have been talking about it recently.
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> BigMao: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pidgin-developers/ppa
[19:06] <goltoof> bigdad1e:   never uninstalled pureftp and reinstalled vsftpd so idk.. looks like vsftpd is already installed
[19:06] <theacolyte> Having an issue generating a new pgp key, it doesn't seem to be getting any entropy. Any ideas?
[19:06] <theacolyte> (10.10)
[19:06] <BigMao> dajhorn, I found it through ubuntu-updates.org when I was googling pidgin 2.7.6 for ubuntu
[19:07] <BigMao> ActionParsnip, Thank you :)
[19:07] <bigdad1e> goltoof:  ok thanks
[19:07] <dajhorn> theacolyte: Mash the keyboard until the entropy pool is refreshed.  (Seriously.)
[19:07] <theacolyte> Yeah I tried that, maybe I'm not mashing it enough
[19:07] <theacolyte> (also trying direct from console this time)
[19:07] <theacolyte> I don't recall it being this hard in the past though
[19:07] <dajhorn> theacolyte: Are you at a local console, or is your session running over ssh?
[19:08] <theacolyte> local
[19:08] <DasEi> BigMao: also could delete the old cert and get a valid from msn side
[19:08] <dajhorn> theacolyte: Hmm.  Look at the 'random' package.  It might help.
[19:08] <dajhorn> theacolyte: Scratch.  The 'reseed' package.
[19:09] <theacolyte> Yeah I just tried 10 lines of random chars and the progress bar isn't even on the screen
[19:09] <theacolyte> dajhorn: let me try that
[19:10] <ActionParsnip> BigMao: np, i use it and it rocks :)
[19:11] <shane4ubuntu> ActionParsnip, pigeon over empathy?  I don't really know what is better?
[19:11] <Carnivore> I need some help with my Ubuntu installation
[19:11] <theacolyte> dajhorn: hmm, same
[19:11] <theacolyte> It's weird, it's like it's not getting *any* entropy
[19:11] <dajhorn> theacolyte: Push CTRL-D.  Maybe your gpg process is waiting for stdin.
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> shane4ubuntu: neither is better, nor worse
[19:11] <shane4ubuntu> Carnivore, how far have you gotten?
[19:11] <shane4ubuntu> ActionParsnip, ok, just didn't want to miss out on pigeon if it was better. :)
[19:12] <Carnivore> I installed the Ubuntu Windows Installer months ago and have been using it successfully off and on ever since as a dual boot with Vista
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> shane4ubuntu: try it, if you like it, use it
[19:12] <wendico1> hello, it is save to update my bios with flashrom? i have a aspire one netbook
[19:12] <Carnivore> I just now finished installing updates and now it won't boot
[19:13] <shane4ubuntu> ActionParsnip, ahh, I was just looking for info on what was better. I use empathy, I guess if you can't point out any real reason, I will just stick with empathy. :)  Laziness.
[19:13] <Carnivore> I picked Ubuntu from the boot menu, it complained about missing fonts, and then rebooted.
[19:13] <shane4ubuntu> Carnivore, ok, are there any errors?
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> shane4ubuntu: i use it because I used it back in 2000 when it was gaim and like the interface. I guess it's just an old habit so I stick with it
[19:14] <shane4ubuntu> Carnivore, ok, when it rebooted what happened.
[19:14] <Carnivore> Just the font error
[19:14] <Carnivore> I don't have the exact error text because it reboots really quickly, so I only see it for a few seconds
[19:15] <shane4ubuntu> ActionParsnip, I see, I used gaim too, then pidgin, then when empathy came out I just used it, I don't really have a pref there, or don't see much of a difference, Empathy does see 'people nearby' on my lan, so that is I guess a positive for me.
[19:15] <shane4ubuntu> Carnivore, ok, and when it reboots, are you then able to boot into Ubuntu
[19:15] <Carnivore> Nope
[19:16] <theacolyte> dajhorn: This is just bizzare, I can't get it to work
[19:16] <benuid0> How do I partition a USB in windows? I need to make a Gparted LiveUSB
[19:16] <shane4ubuntu> Carnivore, ok, so it kind of gets stuck in the reboot stuff, do you have a Ubuntu Recovery option to boot from?
[19:16] <shane4ubuntu> !who | Carnivore
[19:17] <gladiator> are there any utilities to repair any failing filesystems / bad sectors?
[19:17] <xangua> benuid0: you can do it with unetbootin
[19:18] <shane4ubuntu> gladiator, there is fsck
[19:18] <shane4ubuntu> !fsck | gladiator
[19:18] <benuid0> xangua, which distribution to I tell it to use? I've got unetbootin
[19:18] <sosaited> gladiator: If you can backup the files, then for logical bad sectors and slow drive performance, a zero-wipe is nice
[19:19] <benuid0> nevermind, im retarded
[19:19] <Carnivore> shane4ubuntu: Every time I try to reboot, I get the font error and it reboots
[19:19] <benuid0> I've got it
[19:19] <xangua> benuid0: just select the iso
[19:19] <shane4ubuntu> Carnivore, ok, but do you have a Ubuntu Recovery option in the boot menu list?  When you first start the computer?
[19:19] <shane4ubuntu> Carnivore, or something similar?
[19:19] <benuid0> xangua, yeah I know.
[19:20] <gladiator> shane4ubuntu, sosaited "unable to locate package fsck" 10.10. sosaited im not able to back up files. that drive was my backup drive before installing ubuntu
[19:20] <shane4ubuntu> Carnivore, it seems like something in the update failed, or didn't finish, and left your system un-configured.
[19:20] <coz_> gladiator,  I wou ld  download Dban ,,,burn it to disk,,, back up your needed files then boot with the Dban disk to wipe the driver
[19:20] <coz_> gladiator,    http://www.dban.org/
[19:20] <shane4ubuntu> gladiator, fsck is installed automagically on all installs, it is part of the system.
[19:21] <sosaited> gladiator: what specific problem do you have with it?. And is it just one partition or whole drive?. Did you check the SMART status to see how bad the bad sectors are?
[19:21] <shane4ubuntu> !fsck | gladiator
[19:21] <Carnivore> shane4ubuntu, There are two menus: one where I pick between Vista and Ubuntu, and then one with all the Ubuntu boot options. I can't recall if the error occurs between the two menus or after the second one.
[19:22] <shane4ubuntu> Carnivore, ok, I'm not really familiar with a wubi install boot menu, but I think it would probably be in the second menu, about the 2nd or 3rd choice down, it may be recovery or something similar, I can't remember what it is named, but something similar to that.
[19:22] <gladiator> sosaited, its my laptop. it only has one disk with multiple partitions. but one of the partitions is not mounting. it shows up in fdisk -l but isnt mounted. when i try to mount it, it says bad format
[19:23] <robs1> Question:  I am unable to telnet to another server.  I am not even able to telnet to my localhost.  However, the xinetd is working and is enabled.  In addition,  the telnet service is listed in /etc/services.  But, when I do a netstat -napt,  telnet and its associated port 23 are NOT listed!  Any ideas?
[19:23] <shane4ubuntu> gladiator, do you know what type of partition it is?  ext3 ext4, fat32, ntfs, reiserFS?
[19:23] <goltoof> Carnivore:   typically holding down the shift key will bring up the Ubuntu boot menu, from there you can select recovery mode, you'll at least have cli access and it shouldn't reboot
[19:24] <gladiator> shane4ubuntu, it says fat32. but im not sure .. it may have been ntfs also ..
[19:24] <Carnivore> goltoof, shane4ubuntu, thanks! I'll try that and see how it goes. Thanks!
[19:24] <shane4ubuntu> goltoof, won't that give him a GUI also??
[19:24] <gladiator> shane4ubuntu, but in any event, it doesnt mount. whether i try vfat or ntfs-3g
[19:25] <shane4ubuntu> Carnivore, np
[19:25] <shane4ubuntu> gladiator, ok, what happened that it quit?  I mean partitions don't just quit.
[19:25] <goltoof> shane4ubuntu:   yes, stripped down to the basics.. i mention cl access because he at least needs that to fix this problem
[19:26] <gladiator> shane4ubuntu, i formatted old partitions. made new ones. installed ubuntu. let this particular partition as it is. this partition was my back up partition.
[19:27] <shane4ubuntu> gladiator, ok, because usually those problems happen because a partition table is messed up
[19:27] <wildc4rd> evenin' all
[19:27] <dlublink> I want to test how my software would run on a 100mhz machine with 16mb of ram, how can I simulate this on my "server"? Without using virtualbox, xen, or other virtualization software ?
[19:27] <shane4ubuntu> gladiator, if you messed with partitions, what tool did you use?
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> wildc4rd: ey up
[19:28] <gladiator> shane4ubuntu, that may be the case. i wouldnt know. i used the default partitioner that came with the ubuntu installer
[19:28] <sosaited> gladiator: Run gparted and see if there is a warning associated with that partition. If there is, then you will have to run Windows Chkdsk with /r or /f (I forgot which one it was, you can see its help for the exact switch) and then it should mount
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> dlublink: there may be some kernel options you can use
[19:28] <gladiator> sosaited, gparted is broken with 10.10 64 bit
[19:28] <sosaited> gladiator: But that is based on the assumption that it is NTFS
[19:28] <gladiator> atleast for me it is
[19:28] <shane4ubuntu> gladiator, ok, let me google, I know there is a way to try and restore partition tables, but it is hmm, risky.
[19:29] <sosaited> gladiator: If the partition is NTFS, then running windows' chkdsk seems like a good bet
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> gladiator: its used in the install process to setup the disk so I think its just you :)
[19:30] <gladiator> shane4ubuntu, risky as in bricking the disk risky? or losing the data risky?
[19:30] <benuid0> ....... My Gparted LiveUSB isn't doing anything on boot even though I set it to first in BIOS boot order
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> benuid0: what's a gparted live usb?
[19:30] <gladiator> ActionParsnip, i googled the issue briefly and it appears to be a problem with others too. people suggesting installing a specific 32 bit release for parted. so im guessing its not just me
[19:31] <shane4ubuntu> gladiator, risky as looging data
[19:31] <shane4ubuntu> gladiator, loosing*
[19:31] <ActionParsnip> gladiator: hmm. Not had an issue personally, strange
[19:31] <gladiator> shane4ubuntu, im already at that.. if i cant recover it the data is already lost ..
[19:31] <sosaited> gladiator: If fdisk -l shows its correct partition type, then there is no need to mess with partition tables
[19:32] <shane4ubuntu> gladiator, actually it could be recovered, using foremost, and scalpel,
[19:32] <benuid0> ActionParsnip, Gparted is a partitioning program that runs on boot. I wanted to format my drive with it and then hopefully reinstall my linux LiveCD
[19:32] <benuid0> but nothing will run at boot
[19:33] <gladiator> shane4ubuntu, ok. let me try those ..
[19:33] <shane4ubuntu> gladiator, ok, here is a link:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370121
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> benuid0: I know of gparted, just not a specific gparted usb
[19:33] <benuid0> I put it on a USB
[19:33] <shane4ubuntu> gladiator, if you can recover the partition table, that would be the best, if you can't recover that then you can use foremost, and scalpel
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> benuid0: did you md5 test the iso you put on the usb?
[19:34] <benuid0> ActionParsnip, no, how do I do that?
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | benuid0
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> benuid0: you haven't tested the image so you don't know if the image is complete or error free
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> benuid0: bad image makes a bad install
[19:35] <gladiator> sosaited, shane4ubuntu, ok. lets hope for the best .. thanks. ill report back where i get to shortly
[19:37] <robs1A> Hello
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> Hi robs1A
[19:37] <zer0rez> how do i check to see where an upgrade is in the repo cycle?
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> zer0rez: can you expand on "repo cycle"please
[19:39] <smallfoot-> [[Hello world|HW]] is preferred over [[Hello_world|HW]] ?
[19:39] <smallfoot-> which is good, with underscore or without?
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> zer0rez: do you mean when the package will be updated on the official repo?
[19:39] <zer0rez> ActionParsnip: looking to see if calibre 0.7.28/29 is on it's way
[19:39] <robs1A> Question: I am unable to telnet to another machine.  I am not even able to telent to my localhost.  I verified the following is true:  (1) xineted is working and enabled (2) telnet/port 23 is listed in /etc/services.  However, when I run  netstat -napt,  telnet/port 23 is not listed.  Any ideas as to why my telnet is not working?
[19:39] <zer0rez> ActionParsnip: correct.
[19:39] <benuid0> ActionParsnip. where do I get a Gparted md5 sum to compare to the one winMd5Sum gave me?
[19:39] <shane4ubuntu> ActionParsnip, what was that pidgin ppa?
[19:40] <maluta> does 'lsusb' list OTG connections?
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> zer0rez: the package maybe reported on launchpad someplace, you could use a ppa to maybe get it now if one exists for your release
[19:40] <mohalaci> hy
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> shane4ubuntu: websearch: pidgin pp ,you want the developers ppa. I'm on my phone now and web access is slooow
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> Pidgin ppa ,sorry
[19:41] <mohalaci> egy oylan kérdésem lenne, hogy .fla fájl szerkesztésére mit ajánlotok ubuntun?
[19:41] <zer0rez> ActionParsnip: thanks, i haven't really been serious w/ linux since the 90s this whole not building from source and having apps managed is quite nice, but different.
[19:41] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | zer0rez
[19:41] <shane4ubuntu> ActionParsnip, ok, I think I found it, thanks!  I found this:  http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1577204  made me miss the pop up messages. :)
[19:41] <zer0rez> ActionParsnip: yea i have a launchpad account, just loading it up  now
[19:41] <shane4ubuntu> ActionParsnip, thanks
[19:42] <ActionParsnip> shane4ubuntu: np bro
[19:42] <theacolyte> Wow... I literally can't generate PGP keys on this machine
[19:42] <theacolyte> even seahorse just sits there and spins
[19:42] <benuid0> ActionParsnip, I don't know how to get a Gparted comparison md5sum, but I doubt that's the problem. My computer isn't doing anything period
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> !hashes | benuid0
[19:43] <shane4ubuntu> theacolyte, did you let it work for a few minutes?
[19:43] <theacolyte> shane4ubuntu: I'm at 15 minutes right now
[19:43] <shane4ubuntu> theacolyte, it does take a bit.
[19:43] <shane4ubuntu> theacolyte, hmm, that does seem a little long.
[19:43] <benuid0> but its Gparted on a usb, not ubuntu
[19:44] <benuid0> from a gparted iso
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> benuid0: then its not supported here. This is ubuntu support only
[19:44] <robs58>  I am unable to telnet to another machine.  I am not even able to telent to my localhost.

[19:44] <zer0rez> boo natty has the latest build but not maverick
[19:44] <theacolyte> shane4ubuntu: agreed, no idea how to fix either
[19:44] <shane4ubuntu> theacolyte, what are your machine specs?
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> robs58: firewall maybe?
[19:45] <cautiongamer> how would I go about permanently disconnecting myself from a wireless network? I'm trying to study for exams and I'm addicted to the Internet.
[19:46] <ElNota> cautiongamer: Open PC, hit the internal wifi and close again
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> cautiongamer: turn off the router and give a pal/family member the power plug

[19:46] <phoul> Hey folks, Im having an odd issue, When im uninstalling software its not being removed from the gnome-panel menu, except in the menu editor its gone, so i cant figure out how to remove it..

[19:47] <phoul> Let me try... but im gona say no...

[19:50] <stephen__> Hi! first of all how do I change my nickname
[19:51] <albasheers> help with initramfs
[19:52] <goltoof> area51pilot:  i had a similar problem, the screen would get covered in green specs and freeze, looked like something out of the matrix, but frozen.. only way out was to reboot.  that went away when i switched to an nVidia card.

[19:55] <ZieQ> Need to install some application packages in my home dir: how should I name the directory where they leave? $HOME/opt ? $HOME/.local ?
[19:55] <goltoof> area51pilot:  yeah, maybe try different driver config.. not sure what

[19:55] <jimlovell777> Can someone point me to a page which defines what gnome-powermanager considers to be an idle computer? When returning from battery power my computer doesn't un-dim unless I uncheck "battery power: Dim when idle" and I keep coming to find my computer has turned off while downloading, updating firmware on a USB device, file transfers and so on. It's really causing problems. I need a setting that keeps the computer from always being on but n
[19:56] <goltoof> area51pilot:  hey mr brightside
[19:56] <area51pilot> goltoof:
[19:56] <area51pilot> ?
[19:56] <zer0rez> so no PPA for calibre, but natty has the newer build, is there a way to grab the unstable or natty build of calibre?
[19:56] <Asthralios_werk> How do I keep my system from rebooting when I `service smbd restart` or `service ssh restart` ? My system /bin/reboot's when I restart ssh or samba, and I'm sure there are a few other services that would do the same if I were to restart those...
[19:57] <Asthralios_werk> No clue why, but it's been doing this since I installed Ubuntu on this system...
[19:57] <jimlovell777> Asthralios_werk: I always use sudo /etc/init.d/sshd restart, works great, no reboot needed
[19:58] <Asthralios_werk> jimlovell777: Yea, but when I restart a service, it automatically reboots my system. I'm trying to keep it from rebooting my system when I restart a service :S
[19:58] <goltoof> Asthralios_werk:   similiar for a lot of services,  sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart   etc
[19:58] <Asthralios_werk> I checked the source code to /usr/bin/service and it doesn't have any commands that reboot the system...
[19:58] <jimlovell777> Asthralios_werk: Never happens to me. Have you done something odd to your configs? My system has never rebooted from a service restart,
[19:59] <Asthralios_werk> jimlovell777: Nop, nothing specacular, this is an almost out-of-the box install...
[19:59] <bilalakhtar> albasheers: please mention your problem more verbosely
[20:00] <jimlovell777> Asthralios_werk: Ubuntu 10.10? Desktop, server? Any crons or extra user accounts? Any "watcher" services?
[20:00] <dusf> i am trying to play a .wmv file and although it plays, i can only ever play it from the start as when i skip through it and release the mouse it jumps to random parts of the video. is there a work around? i've already converted it to mpg and avi with mencoder but vlc will only play the video, says there's a problem with 'wmas'
[20:00] <dusf> is there a workaround? i'd rather not have to boot windows everytime i need to do some cbt!
[20:00] <kermit> My system won't boot, even into single user.  It stops at the same point either way, right after the screen changes to frame buffer.  The last things it says are the network scripts terminating and udev complaining about an old style config, but neither seem to be errors.  Why won't single user even work when it makes it that far into the boot process?
[20:01] <lucidguy> alright I have to blow away the contents of a large directory...  is this going to get me into trouble " rm -rf --one-file-system /directory/*"
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> dusf: have you install ubuntu-restricted-extras and w32codecs from medibuntu repo
[20:01] <dusf> ActionParsnip: done already
[20:01] <Asthralios_werk> jimlovell777: This is actually Ubuntu Lucid (10.04) Desktop, no extra user accounts other than my own and root, afaik. I checked the cron tab for all users and they have exactly what I want in them. The reboot occurs _only_ when I execute /usr/bin/service to restart ssh or samba (only these two services until I learn of other services that bahave in this manner)
[20:01] <lucidguy> I just can't afford the rm some how tracersing outside this directory.
[20:01] <ActionParsnip> lucidguy: why the force?
[20:01] <Lugash> how to register?
[20:02] <lucidguy> ActionParsnip: there are many directories within
[20:02] <albasheers> when i boot my laptop  , a black screen appears saying "no init found try passing init= bootrang" busy box v1.15.3 (iniitramfs)
[20:02] <rww> ubottu: register | lucidguy
[20:02] <bilalakhtar> lucidguy: as long as there are no symlinks in the directory that point to directories outside the directory
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> !register | Lugash
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> lucidguy: that doesn't mean it needs force
[20:02] <Lugash> thank you
[20:02] <Lugash> very much
[20:02] <Asthralios_werk> going to try this again >.>
[20:03] <lucidguy> ActionParsnip: if you don't force it will not delete the directories
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> lucidguy: rm -r will delete the directory and all subdirectorys
[20:03] <kusanagi> is there a way to bring a window to foreground knowing its pid?
[20:03] <nstinson> does a stack installer work on ubuntu server?
[20:03] <nstinson> can you run a bin from a prompt?
[20:03] <nstinson> or does it need a gui?
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> nstinson: chmod +x ./file; ./file
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> nstinson: apply sudo if you need it
[20:04] <nstinson> that will execute the .bin?
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> nstinson: sure, 9 times out of 10 its a binary, file extensions don't mean much in linux
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> lucidguy: -f applys force to forcefully remove files or folders which won't go quietly. Its not needed to remove directorys, -r will do that alone
[20:06] <Lars_G> Is there an update option for dpkg I'm missing? other than -r and -i
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> Lars_G: man dpkg ,will show them all

[20:07] <lugash> hahahahhaa
[20:07] <lugash> i screwed up
[20:07] <lugash> im such a noob
[20:07] <Pici> It happens.

[20:08]  * shane4ubuntu is now testing pidgin with irc
[20:09] <benuid0> ActionParsnip, the md5 is fine, but still all I get is a black screen on boot. Could I access my hard drive by connecting my laptop to another computer?
[20:09] <shane4ubuntu> ActionParsnip: I think I tried this before, but does pidgin highlight my nick when someone uses it?
[20:09] <kermit> ActionParsnip: i watch it, but it just hangs after a point, spinning the CPU, it doesnt give an error
[20:09] <lugash> Insufficient parameters for REGISTER. Do explain
[20:09] <lugash> ^^
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> benuid0: if its not ubuntu, its not supported here
[20:09] <Pici> lugash: Registration help is available in #freenode
[20:09] <kermit> ActionParsnip: or, if there is an error, its lost because when it changes to frame buffer mode i lose the scrollback.
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> shane4ubuntu: sure does, also talks to libnotify :)
[20:10] <shane4ubuntu> ActionParsnip: great, thanks!
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> kermit: i'd test the ram. Hold shift at boot and run memtest
[20:10] <Lars_G> ActionParsnip: I found none there
[20:11] <lucidguy> Sorry got pulled away
[20:11] <kermit> ActionParsnip: i tested the ram 6 dasy ago.. but it has been staticy here, i guess i can test it again.
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> Lars_G: man dpgk ,is the manual page for dpkg. Most commands have a man page in that style
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> kermit: ok that's cool
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> kermit: could boot to recovery root mode, su to your user and startx
[20:12] <kermit> ActionParsnip: it hangs at the same point, and i do not get a shell
[20:13] <area51pilot> when I'm reading the MAN pages, what key combo closes the MAN and returnsto the prompt
[20:13] <Prowler_x1> I am a linux newbie interested Ubuntu. Should I jump into 32 bit or 64 bit
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> kermit: hmm not good, could fsck the partitions in livecd too
[20:13] <kermit> ActionParsnip: did that, they seem fine
[20:13] <lucidguy> ActionParsnip: Ok.. no -f understood.  Anything else I should look for .. I just can't afford anything else being deleted outside that folder.  I just have a fear that its somehow going to traverse into another directory.  For example what if someone hardlinked /etc/ in this directory .. I'm screwed?
[20:14] <ActionParsnip> Prowler_x1: 32bit is more supported by 3rd party companies. If you have a tonne of ram or intend to encode video/audio a lot then 64bit can help
[20:14] <kermit> ActionParsnip: if i could just get a shell i could run top, is there a way to make it give me a shell sooner in the boot process?   its already into trying to turn up the network when it hangs.
[20:14] <lucidguy> Sorry .. I meant sym links .. I know only the last inode is the only one to be worried about... but how about sym links.
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> Prowler_x1: obviously you'll need a 64bit cpu to run 64bit os
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> kermit: could boot to livecd then chroot to the installed OS to see what's happening
[20:15] <Prowler_x1> hardware is no problem I am more worried about compatability and my limited learning ability
[20:16] <kermit> ActionParsnip: i'm on the live cd now, but i dont know what to look for
[20:16] <area51pilot> when I'm reading the MAN pages, what key combo closes the MAN and returnsto the prompt
[20:16] <ActionParsnip> Prowler_x1: its identical, all appsin the repos are compile for both and configs are the same
[20:16] <Pici> area51pilot: q
[20:16] <ldunn> Press q
[20:16] <JoshuaL> since today ubuntu randomly logs out
[20:16] <area51pilot> thx guys

[20:23] <lucidguy> Ok asking this again because I think it failed due to not being identified...    performing the following  " rm -r --one-file-system /thedir/* "    Is this safe?  can sym or hardlinks cause the RM to traverse out of this /thedir?

[20:31] <ZieQ> There's no recommandation for the home dire
[20:32] <ZieQ> That does not mean there's no conventions used

[20:32] <ssfdre38> yup
[20:32] <ikonia> ssfdre38: or just SSL in general
[20:32] <ssfdre38> webserver
[20:32] <ikonia> ZieQ: ok, so then there is nothing for /home/* in FHS complience
[20:33] <Pici> ZieQ: What I've seen is that ~/bin gets added to your $PATH and the the rest is up to you.  Thats what I do personally.
[20:33] <ikonia> ssfdre38: you need to install the mod_sl package or follow the guide for SL certificate generation iwthin apache
[20:33] <ikonia> within
[20:33] <ssfdre38> ok thanks
[20:34] <ssfdre38> what is the apt-get name for it?
[20:34] <Fiord> oh, by the way, opening those same pics on other pc's is not a problem. tried installing gthumb but no luck.
[20:34] <ZieQ> @Pici not only a binary in my case
[20:35] <ZieQ> I guess I'd use the .local in my home dir, but I'm not sure what it is meant for
[20:35] <Pici> ZieQ: I realize that.  I symlink the binaries into ~/bin and leave the rest of the install elsewhere.  I'm not as organized about it as I should be though.
[20:36] <phoul> Hmm, For some reason everytime i boot i end up at a recovery menu... how do i fix this?...
[20:36] <phoul> it starts to boot normally, then i end up seeing all the output and then a script runs telling me to choose from the recovery menu
[20:37] <phoul> So somewhere it got set to go there by default, but i dont know where or how... any ideas
[20:37] <tlchack5> what manufacture is it?
[20:37] <adac> j #openvpn
[20:37] <phoul> its ubuntus recovery menu
[20:37] <tlchack5> oooh nvm lol
[20:38] <phoul> from it i can rebuild grub, mess with dpgk, clean, or continue normal boot
[20:38] <phoul> which doesnt really continue normal boot
[20:38] <phoul> Frusterating. I need to figure out how to make it stop doin that.

[20:43] <kusanagi> when I do a "sudo apt-get upgrade" it says: "The following packages have been kept back: gbrainy linux-generic linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic". Anybody knows the reason or how can i find out?
[20:43] <Pici> kusanagi: use sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[20:43] <some1> hi. can somebody help me to fix this annoying compiz bug? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOgbnQVy1fU

[20:43] <petersteele111> anyone manage to get the bug fixed or watching youtube through movie player? i downloaded the patch for it and even put it in the right folder but it doesnt work at all
[20:43] <Scriv> Hey guys. I've got an issue with Windows eating GRUB and the SuperGrubDisk fix I attempted on it.
[20:44] <Scriv> Good news, I can boot into Windows again.
[20:44] <Scriv> Bad news, it only shows the old Fedora boot option for linux
[20:44] <Scriv> .
[20:44] <kusanagi> Pici, i am in lucid and i dont want to go maverik, because it breaks my system, but i do want new kernels
[20:44] <battle_warrior> hi can anyone tell me the prompt to enter taht will give me all the  specs of my system?
[20:44] <Pici> kusanagi: A dist-upgrade does not move you to the next release.
[20:45] <Pici> battle_warrior: sudo lshw
[20:45] <kusanagi> pici, oh, thanks
[20:45] <battle_warrior> ty
[20:45] <Scriv> Anyone in here that could give advice on Grub?

[20:48] <MaindotC> Does anyone here re-stream stuff on justin.tv or ustream?
[20:48] <ikonia> MaindotC: why ?
[20:48] <Toph> i'm using Ubuntu Maverick and the system logs me out whenever it rests for a very short time,, i would sooner not have to log back in every time,, how do I change that?
[20:49] <MaindotC> ikonia: because I would like to stream media to friends using those types of sites.
[20:49] <ikonia> MaindotC: what has that got to do wtih ubuntu ?
[20:49] <shcherbak> Toph: Power Managers in Menu
[20:49] <MaindotC> I would be looking for software that you use in order to accomplish this
[20:49] <ikonia> MaindotC: it's web based,
[20:50] <kusanagi> when i install a repository, if there are conflicts with some package (and by that i mean too different versions of the same package) how the system know what version should it use?
[20:50] <MaindotC> ikonia: re-read my question please
[20:50] <shcherbak> Toph: and Screenserver
[20:50] <kusanagi> too=two*
[20:50] <shcherbak> Toph: "and Screensaver"
[20:50] <Untouchab1e> Quick question.. I have a laptop here where Windows Vista is installed and Ubuntu is installed through Wubi..
[20:50] <ikonia> MaindotC: in that case, "no" that can't be done as it's a client server connection
[20:50] <MaindotC> ikonia: incorrect
[20:50] <Untouchab1e> worked fine until today.. I pick Ubuntu from the boot menu, then I get a black screen and the computer reboots
[20:50] <Toph> shcherbak,,, ok,, i haven't found the secret in Power Manager,, let me look at screen saver
[20:50] <Untouchab1e> any ideas?
[20:51] <MaindotC> please don't answer any more of my questions
[20:51] <ikonia> MaindotC: really, do tell ?
[20:51] <ikonia> MaindotC: how is that incorrect ?
[20:51] <MaindotC> ikonia: ws4gl.org
[20:51] <emorris> milen8204, fyi, linux format recommends Transcoder for a GUI for ffmpeg: http://transcoder84.sourceforge.net/
[20:51] <Untouchab1e> any ideas?
[20:52] <ikonia> MaindotC: that's broadcasting TO ustream, not re-broadcasting
[20:52] <Toph> shcherbak,,, is it the 'lock screen when screensaver is active ' box?
[20:52] <MaindotC> Can anyone who knows what the hell they're talking about answer my question: Does anyone here re-stream stuff on justin.tv or ustream?
[20:52] <shcherbak> Toph: most likely
[20:52] <Toph> shcherbak,,, thaks
[20:52] <ikonia> MaindotC: can you clarify what you mean by re-stream, as the URL you posted is just streaming
[20:53] <shcherbak> Toph: does lod you out to splash creen or user-swich box ?
[20:53] <Toph> schatan,,, user-switch box
[20:53] <Pici> MaindotC: I don't understand what you're asking either.
[20:54] <milen8204> emorris, thanks
[20:54] <MaindotC> Pici: thanks for replying - but if you don't understand then obviously the question is not for you.
[20:54] <Toph> shcherbak,,, user-switch and i have to enter my password again
[20:54] <ikonia> MaindotC: your not being clear, the URL you posted is just for streaming, yet your talking about "re-streaming" could you please clarify
[20:54] <dajhorn> kusanagi: If a package is in more than one repository, then APT scores it, and installs the version with the highest score.   Look at the output of `apt-cache policy SomePackage`, and read about APT pinning.
[20:55] <shcherbak> Toph: untick option in screenserver (or disable if you do not need it)
[20:55] <kusanagi> thanks dajhorn
[20:55] <Toph> shcherbak,,, i do want the screensaver, just not having to log back in
[20:55] <Amoz> MaindotC, exactly what are you looking for?
[20:56] <Amoz> MaindotC, something that streams media of your choice to justin.tv?
[20:56] <MaindotC> Amoz: I'm looking for someone who re-streams a broadcast to other users who under certain conditions are unable to view the original stream.
[20:57] <ikonia> MaindotC: can you clarify what you mean by re-stream please.
[20:57] <Amoz> MaindotC, which means, you want to take the stream from justin.tv and send it through another host or something
[20:57] <Amoz> if they can't watch the original stream, then what can they watch?
[20:57] <MaindotC> Amoz: for example I can view a video stream, then use WebCamStudio to record my desktop, and then re-broadcast it to a justin.tv or other site
[20:58] <MaindotC> but the clarity going from recording your desktop to re-broadcasting it degrades heavily
[20:58] <MaindotC> so I was wondering what other (if any) packages anyone uses
[20:58] <Amoz> yeah
[20:58] <Amoz> hmm
[20:58] <MaindotC> preferably anyone who re-streams
[20:58] <MaindotC> and if you don't know of any it's cool
[20:58] <Amoz> sorry, I don't
[20:58] <MaindotC> ok fair enough
[20:59] <ikonia> MaindotC: I don't think your going to be able to do that
[20:59] <Amoz> but why is that they can't watch it?
[20:59] <Amoz> ikonia, why wouldn't it?
[20:59] <unam3> Is file recovery possible in ubuntu ?
[20:59] <ikonia> Amoz: because your videing a video, the quality will always lose a little
[20:59] <Amoz> unam3, check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[20:59] <unam3> thx Amoz
[21:00] <Amoz> ikonia, if you redistribute the same stream you get from justin.tv, then no loss will take place
[21:00] <ikonia> plus, from what I'm reading on the site MaindotC posted earlier, the compression for the streaming software he is suggesting doesn't work great for hi quality
[21:00] <MaindotC> Amoz: it could be for several reasons - either site blocking/firewall issues on their end or their ISP, or blackout restrictions that are implemented incorrectly
[21:00] <ikonia> Amoz: yes, but if they can't watch justin.tv, why would they be able to take the other stream
[21:00] <Amoz> ikonia, as MaindotC said
[21:00] <ikonia> Amoz: the redirection (squid/iptables) would be a simple setup
[21:00] <MaindotC> I've tried using webcamstudio and it is a great piece of software but the re-broadcast is rather choppy, so I just thought I'd see if something else existed
[21:01] <KERO_netbook> mmed
[21:01] <Amoz> MaindotC, that's clearly not a optimised solution
[21:01] <ikonia> MaindotC: have you looked at what Amoz about just redirecting from your box to as a proxy/middle host for the link to justin.tv or ustream
[21:01] <MaindotC> I am reading up on VLC - apparently if you can find the rtmp stream link then VLC can re-broadcast (which can be re-directed to a streaming site such as justin or livestream)
[21:02] <Amoz> MaindotC, what stream do you want to redirect?
[21:02] <ikonia> MaindotC: you can do it at a simpler level with iptables or squid which will act as a buffer for any latency
[21:02] <MaindotC> Amoz:  it's not porn if that's what you're inferring
[21:02] <Amoz> MaindotC, I'm not saying anything
[21:02] <ikonia> MaindotC: you can also put access controls in place if you use iptables or squid to stop anyone else leaching onto it
[21:03] <Amoz> but it's impossible to say something good if you don't tell me what technical stuff is behind
[21:03] <Amoz> help me help you
[21:04] <MaindotC> it's very simple - it doesn't really matter what type of content
[21:04] <Amoz> MaindotC, that's correct
[21:04] <MaindotC> I know there are several windows users that do this sort of thing and I just wondered if there were any open source equivalents
[21:04] <Amoz> but the content can be distributed in a lot of different ways
[21:04] <ikonia> MaindotC: have you looked at squid or iptables to act as a controlled proxy or forwarder ?
[21:05] <MaindotC> is there someway to squelch people in this chat
[21:05] <MaindotC> I tried /squelch but that doesn't seem to work
[21:05] <Amoz> MaindotC, don't be rude
[21:05] <MaindotC> i found it
[21:06] <MaindotC> Amoz: if you don't know of any off the top of your head it's cool - I just thought of the 1K users in here maybe
[21:06] <MaindotC> one of them was a savvy streamer
[21:06] <miniuser> very quiet on the linux front
