[00:00] <faint545> astraljava, how would i do this?
[00:00] <induz> coz_, let me try again....
[00:00] <coz_> induz,  take another look at this   http://dl.dropbox.com/u/132551/screenshots/Screenshot-UNetbootin.png
[00:00] <Bsims> faint545: edit /etc/fstab
[00:00] <coz_> induz,  first plugin the flash drive and make sure it opens
[00:00] <Bsims> faint545: let me look for the exact syntax
[00:00] <coz_> induz,   then if it is empty,, close its content window and then open unetbootin
[00:01] <faint545> Bsims, i know how to edit Fstab . i just dont know what the syntax is to make a disk have a specific device name (i.e. /dev/sda1)
[00:01] <astraljava> magpii: So like you said, either the mirror is outdated, or the -proposed is having an issue right now. You could try commenting that out, doing `sudo apt-get update` and trying to install avidemux again.
[00:01] <faint545> I should say persistent, not specific.
[00:01] <coz_> induz,   at the bottom of unetbootin in the bottom left corner is the "Type"  field  pulldown,, make sure it is listed as USB drive or if your drive name is in the pull down choose that
[00:01] <Bsims> faint545: # /media/disk-1 aka /dev/sdc1
[00:01] <Bsims> UUID=b9da1093-fd12-40fe-b433-8a082421a375 /media/disk  ext3     defaults        0       2
[00:02] <astraljava> Bsims: It's not interesting, it's plain logic. Many of them update regularly, but without proper control of the dependencies.
[00:02] <coz_> induz,  then  for the ISO image  maneuver to the location of th e ISO image and choose that,,  then click "OK"
[00:02] <Bsims> faint545: making it assign it to a particular /dev/ is now handled with udev which I've not faffled with
[00:03] <edbian> Bsims: well you better get faffled
[00:03] <simpleirc730> hi
[00:03] <magpii> astraljava: when i update, i get the errors like maverick meerkat cannot be updated, resorting to old ones
[00:03] <edbian> simpleirc730: hello
[00:03] <Bsims> edbian: eh mostly it works for me with the occasional hard links
[00:03] <edbian> Bsims: :)
[00:04] <induz> coz_, here http://i.imgur.com/TJZxp.png
[00:04] <astraljava> magpii: You should uncomment the first line, that has the installation media still as a source. :)
[00:05] <coz_> induz,  did you direct it to the "Drive"  /dev/sdg1  manually?
[00:05] <induz> coz_, NO
[00:05] <coz_> induz,  ok
[00:05]  * astraljava wonder what it feels like to get faffled
[00:05] <astraljava> wonders*
[00:05] <coz_> induz,    give it a try again
[00:05] <Bsims> edbian: I may agree with why they did it but UUID means nothing to me, its a long string of giberish... so long as the computer translates into /media/Endless_Box_O_Porn_n_Music I don't care
[00:06] <b44> Any email-server, which can interact between gmail and client??
[00:06] <edbian> Bsims: haha, UUIDs are unique, /dev/sdXY is not (because it changes every time on boot)
[00:06] <magpii> astraljava: i unchecked the first box on the list of repos in package manager and it seems to be updating better than before
[00:06] <astraljava> Bsims: YOU'VE BEEN AT MY BOX?!
[00:06] <b44> with browser-interaction
[00:06] <induz> coz_, its asking me to reboot Now
[00:06] <astraljava> magpii: Sure, cause it can't find that repo if the media is not mounted.
[00:06] <Bsims> edbian: in the pre udev days didn't change
[00:07] <Bsims> edbian: but required editing a text file if you added stuff
[00:07] <coz_> induz,  no need to reboot now... however if you do ,, recheck the bios to be sure usb flash can be booted
[00:07] <edbian> Bsims: I'm not old enough to remember that
[00:07]  * Bsims remembers having to write a X11 config file
[00:07] <coz_> induz,   is this a usb hub you are using or the case usb  front or back?
[00:07] <magpii> astraljava: lol, i figured it would know that and move onto the next repo automatically
[00:08] <astraljava> edbian: Funny, my natty still uses the conventional method, and it won't change, like, ever.
[00:08] <edbian> astraljava: the conventional method of faffle?
[00:08]  * Bsims feels really old I remember XFree86
[00:08] <astraljava> magpii: It's listed as a candidate, so it will try it. Obviously the updating won't die because of it, but it will throw an error, which you just saw.
[00:09]  * astraljava slaps edbian around with a large trout
[00:09] <Godfiend> What is a "symbol lookup error"?
[00:09] <astraljava> Did it go like that?
[00:09] <edbian> ha
[00:09] <Bsims> stable was the 2.2 series and 2.4.0 was the new hotness
[00:09] <bcessa> hi there, this is the content of my /etc/sudoers file http://paste.ubuntu.com/657564/ however every time I try to sudo using the ben user I get the following error message: >>> /etc/sudoers: syntax error near line 11 <<< any ideas on why/how to fix it? :(
[00:09] <lindenle> Hi the 2.6.38-10-generic version of the kernel cause my machine to completely hang at boot. No x windows and flashing hard drive light on dell latitude laptop
[00:10]  * Bsims holds up a old timey hearing horn to my ear... hand me my cane, the walking one not the pervy one
[00:10] <sublim21> hey all
[00:11] <astraljava> bcessa: Should it be root     ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL    ?
[00:11] <fowl> coz_: that worked great, thanks a lot
[00:11] <astraljava> bcessa: also same for the user.
[00:11] <bcessa> don't know really, let me give it a try
[00:12] <magpii> astraljava: is it common to have to sometimes re apply installation after getting a hash sum mismatch error during install of software? I have had to do it 3 times during avidemux install
[00:12] <sublim21> just stopping by this chat for a quick question.  I recently bought myself a cheap netbook and installed ubuntu (my first linux experience actually) but im still worried about compatibility, so i'd like to run a version of windows still.  I've heard about virtual machines but don't any experience with them.  My concern with a virtual machine is the speed (this is a netbook after all).  So what is the best thing to do?  virtual mach
[00:12] <astraljava> magpii: No, if the mirror is working correctly, not common at all.
[00:12] <edbian> sublim21: virtual mac?  What's that mean?
[00:12] <induz> coz_, a front USB hub
[00:13] <sublim21> edbian: virtual windows
[00:13] <coz_> induz,  is it a case plug or a hub attached to the case
[00:13] <magpii> Astraljava: i installed avidemux again and i cant find it in any of the menu lists
[00:13] <astraljava> edbian: sublim21: got caught off.
[00:13] <edbian> sublim21: The best way to know if a virtual machine will work for you is to create one and install an OS on it and use it.  (windows xp should run fine).  Linux is very efficient as a host OS so you're in a good place.
[00:13] <sublim21> oh.   did my full question not come through?
[00:13] <astraljava> magpii: If you hit Alt+F2, and type avidemux there, will it open?
[00:13] <Bsims> astraljava: Oh I found the repo with the problem... its http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu
[00:14] <edbian> sublim21: check out virtualbox it is free, in the repos, and easy to use
[00:14] <coz_> induz,   if it doesnt work with the front plug  see if there is an open usb plug in the rear of the system which would be directly connected to the motherboard
[00:14] <astraljava> sublim21: Caught off at "So what is the best thing to do? virtual mach"
[00:14] <edbian> sublim21: read what you wrote.
[00:14] <coz_> induz,  I have seen instances where the front side usb  for some reason isnt recognized for booting,, its rare but it happens
[00:14] <magpii> astraljava: lol, another useful command learned. found it
[00:14] <astraljava> Bsims: Not a real surprise. Backports can do that, and when it's a PPA on top of that all...
[00:14] <astraljava> *sigh*
[00:14] <sublim21> edbian: i wrote 'virtual machine or dual boot?'  at least that's what appears on my end.
[00:15] <Bsims> astraljava: yeah I know shame on me
[00:15] <bcessa> no, still getting the same error :(
[00:15] <astraljava> magpii: Do you see menus on the top left corner? Applications, Places, System?
[00:15] <edbian> sublim21: Did you already install linux?  What OS did this machine come with??
[00:15] <Bsims> astraljava: heh used to run Sid... so I'm kinda used to it
[00:15] <coz_> induz,  I have to break here ...sorry,, family matters,,, be back later,, I am sure someone here is far smarter than me and can work through this with you :)
[00:15] <sublim21> edbian: came with windows 7 'starter'
[00:15] <astraljava> bcessa: But you're still able to edit that file? Did you use visudo for that?
[00:15] <edbian> sublim21: Do you still have that installed?  Did you install linux?
[00:15] <astraljava> Bsims: Yeah, that gets... interesting quick. :)
[00:16] <sublim21> edbian: i wiped it clean.  partitioned it down the middle, and installed windows on one half,
[00:16] <bcessa> since I can get root privileges I'm not able to do it, I'm using a parallels panel to edit the file
[00:16] <magpii> astraljava: yes i also found the menus editor and seeing if i can make it show through that
[00:16] <bcessa> *I can't
[00:16] <sublim21> and tried to install linux on the second partition, but i didn't understand the partition options at the time, so i installed ubuntu on the same partition as windows.     sorry for breaking it up like this
[00:16] <induz> coz_, when i boot from USB i plug it on the back USB port
[00:16] <induz> coz_, its ready to boot now...let me  reboot and i will get back asap
[00:16] <induz> coz whn i boot I dont use the usb hub
[00:16] <induz> hello
[00:16] <edbian> sublim21: What do you mean wiped it clean?  You erased windows 7 then partitioned in 1/2 and installed windows 7?  Why?  What OS's are installed right now?  windows and linux? (because that is dual boot)
[00:16] <astraljava> bcessa: If you don't have the required privileges, the file won't be saved, so the changes won't come into effect. You need to boot into single-user mode.
[00:17] <edbian> sublim21: just read your second post.  I think I get it now.
[00:17] <edbian> sublim21: Remember to always start with my name if you're talking to me so I don't miss it.  No worries about breaking it up :)
[00:17] <edbian> sublim21: The partitioner can be confusing if you don't know what you're doing.
[00:17] <sublim21> edbian: yea.  it was.  : (
[00:17] <bcessa> actually the file is being saved since I access the parallels panel as the root user, looking at the single-user mode now
[00:18] <sublim21> edbian: but i'd like to start over now.  there's very little on it.
[00:18] <astraljava> bcessa: What's a parallels panel?
[00:18] <edbian> sublim21: So you wanna run windows and ubuntu.  Dual boot pros are that performance is maximized (you're not running two os's at the same time).  Con is that you are wasting space (each os needs free space)
[00:18] <edbian> sublim21: virtual machine is easier to set up and easier to remove.
[00:18] <bcessa> is a virtual server so I guess is something like plesk or that kind of stuff
[00:18] <ManDrake-> Can anyone tell me how to get my install of Ubuntu 10.04 to recognize my floppy drive?
[00:19] <sublim21> edbian: and with a virtual machine i don't have to manually restart the computer correct?
[00:19] <astraljava> bcessa: Oh. And you get root privileges that way?
[00:19] <edbian> sublim21: that's right.  The virtual machine is just a program that runs in ubuntu (or windows if you do it the other way around)
[00:20]  * Bsims laughs only got into Ubuntu as at the time sid was literaly uninstallable
[00:20] <sublim21> edbian: i'd rather have ubuntu be the 'master' os.
[00:20] <edbian> Bsims: I think the only way to get Debian sid is to install stable and change the repos !
[00:21]  * Bsims goes looking to see why my sshd isn't speaking to the outside world, router is speaking correctly, and dyndns ip is right
[00:21] <sublim21> edbian: it sounds like what i want to do is repartition it into all one drive, install ubuntu and a virtual with windows on it.  it was suggested before that virtual box is best.
[00:21] <edbian> sublim21: In a dual boot situation there is no 'master os'
[00:21] <bcessa> astraljava: no, I admin the server completely from the terminal, but now I can't run any admin stuff cause I'm getting that syntax error on the shudders file, I wan't to fix it so I can run root stuff again as usual, right now the only way to edit the file is using that crappy web-based panel
[00:21] <Bsims> edbian: correct, though a prudent person dist-upgrades to testing first
[00:21] <astraljava> bcessa: If you truly have root privileges, then you won't need to boot into single-user mode. But you will have to tweak the file, because it's really strict about the syntax.
[00:22] <edbian> sublim21: You do not need a partition for virtual box / virtual machines. I suggest using the installer for ubuntu and choose the 'use whole disk' option.  If you would like to manually partition I can help you do that.  Partitioning right now (before using hte isntaller) is not necessary in either case
[00:22] <astraljava> bcessa: Okay. Did that crappy web-based panel also change that file in the first place?
[00:22] <astraljava> bcessa: What virtualization system are we talking about, here?
[00:22] <edbian> Bsims: Debian sid isn't for the produent ;)
[00:23] <bcessa> yes, I can edit the file, and is a virtuozzo system
[00:24] <Bsims> edbian: nope but comes with a great warranty... it breaks you get to keep both halves
[00:24] <edbian> Bsims: haha :)
[00:24] <sublim21> edbian: well i have half the disc space currnetly unpartitioned.  so i should start with that.  i would also like to remove the current version of windows i have installed on the machine.  So i think im going to go with wiping the whole thing and re-installing ubuntu along with a virtual box for windows
[00:24] <Bsims> edbian: though report bugs helps with that
[00:24] <Bsims> shows you bugs filed against the new version
[00:24] <edbian> sublim21: That's what I'm saying.  Just boot the installer and choose 'use the entire disc'  it will remove all your partitions and do Ubuntu's partition auto-matically
[00:25] <edbian> sublim21: I think there is no difference between that and what you're describing (except what you're describing is more work)
[00:25] <sublim21> edbian: sounds good man.  going to go start that after upgrading the ram on this little beast.  thanks for everything man
[00:25] <Gremlin> Is there a recommended way of installing Gnome 3 on Lucid 10.04 LTS? I'd like to try it and then revert back if it does not work out. Also, what about Unity? Is there a recommended way to try that out?
[00:25] <sublim21> edbian: its not work when you strangely enjoy it :p
[00:25] <edbian> sublim21: sure
[00:26] <edbian> sublim21: computers are never work :)
[00:27] <induz> wow the USB worked now
[00:27] <induz> but failed to get the iso via UNEBootin
[00:28] <astraljava> bcessa: Okay, seems like the colon and the second ALL aren't necessary. You can remove them, but there might be some whitespace errors or whatnot. I can't make them out from the pastebin entry, sorry.
[00:28] <LABcrab> Hello people!  There are lines in my LibreOffice document that won't disappear!  No matter what!  Can someone help me get rid of them, please?
[00:28] <bcessa> astraljava thnx
[00:29]  * Bsims doesn't know if anyone is intersted but here is my rsync script to back up to an external drive http://paste.ubuntu.com/657567/
[00:29] <induz> how big is Linux Live in MB?
[00:29] <ManDrake-> I know this is a complete NooB question, but can anyone tell me how to get my install of Ubuntu 10.04 to recognize my floppy drive?
[00:29] <astraljava> bcessa: What version of ubuntu is this?
[00:29] <induz>  I mean linux 549[??]
[00:29] <Bsims> ManDrake-: should be /dev/fd1
[00:30] <Bsims> er /dev/fd0
[00:30] <rosstaylor> how do you set up rotation background image in ubuntu 11.04?
[00:30] <astraljava> bcessa: I just tested it, and even as root, plain editing will result in a read-only instance of the file. Needed to use visudo.
[00:30] <ManDrake-> thanks
[00:30] <astraljava> bcessa: I mean, are you sure the panel thingie can actually edit the file, and save it too?
[00:30] <traskers> I'm trying to figure out a way to keep my laptop lid closed but still have an image appear on my external monitor.
[00:30] <Bsims> ManDrake-: I'd not be surprised to learn that udev doesn't speak to it anymore
[00:31] <LABcrab> Hello people!  There are lines in my LibreOffice document that won't disappear!  No matter what!  Can someone help me get rid of them, please?
[00:31] <bcessa> astraljava: yes, I can also alter the permissions but then I get another related error
[00:31] <astraljava> induz: Around 700MB, due to CD sizes.
[00:31] <Bsims> ManDrake-: I can if needed show you how to manually set a fstab for it
[00:31] <ManDrake-> Bsims I'd really appreciate that
[00:31] <Bsims> heh not a problem
[00:32] <Bsims> look in /dev... see a fd0 listing if not we are going to have issues
[00:33] <induz> how big is mint linux
[00:33] <induz> or ubuntu USB Live
[00:33] <bcessa> all I can think of is edit sshd_config to allow direct root access, reboot the server to restart the sshd process, enter as root and try a visudo to edit the file :o
[00:33] <Godfiend> What is a "symbol lookup error"?
[00:33] <astraljava> bcessa: Interesting, would like to see the errors. But you could try to mv that /etc/sudoers file aside, and create a new one from scratch, and include only the three lines, and see how it reacts.
[00:34] <astraljava> bcessa: Errr... two lines.
[00:34] <Bsims> ManDrake-: got a /dev/fd0 listing?
[00:34] <sneakyimp> Can anyone tell me how I might determine which of my installed packages is responsible for a particular file or symlink?
[00:34] <astraljava> induz: Again, Ubuntu Live, around 700MB, due to CD size limitation.
[00:35] <astraljava> sneakyimp: `dpkg -S </path/to/file(or)symlink>
[00:35] <sneakyimp> astraljava: THANKS!  so cool thank you.
[00:35] <chocolates> Sup fagz
[00:35] <astraljava> sneakyimp: Oops, without backticks.
[00:36] <astraljava> !language | chocolates
[00:36] <Bsims> sneakyimp: dpkg -S WhatI_Want
[00:36] <chocolates> A Freaking Awesome Guy is bad lagn? :(
[00:36] <astraljava> chocolates: Some people interpret the latter word differently.
[00:36] <bcessa> ok, I'll try that as a last result, I'll make a new file entirely
[00:36] <chocolates> latter?
[00:37] <Bsims> ManDrake-: mind a PM if you arn't sure if you got the file?
[00:37] <induz> ok, it should fit  in my 1gb USB
[00:37] <induz> I am just struggling to make it bootable first
[00:37] <induz> I have formatted it mahy times
[00:37] <sneakyimp> hmm...problem with dpkg command...i'm trying to determine who's responsible for some dangling symlinks (e.g., /lib/udev/devices/sndstat) and the dpkg -S command fails with the symlink doesn't exist
[00:37] <LABcrab> Hello people!  There are lines in my LibreOffice document that won't disappear!  No matter what!  Can someone help me get rid of them, please?
[00:37] <induz> let me try once again with UNETBootin
[00:37] <astraljava> induz: You don't have to make it bootable, if you created it with usb-creator or unetbootin
[00:38] <induz> astraljava, somehow the usb fails to boot with Linux on it
[00:38] <sneakyimp> Bsims; thank you, but the dpkg command apparently only works if the symlink is a valid one.  i'm trying to find the reason for some dangling symlinks
[00:39] <astraljava> LABcrab: Did you try #libreoffice yet?
[00:39]  * Bsims grins if its appartently cruft rename it via sudo mv lib/udev/devices/sndstat lib/udev/devices/sndstat.old and see what breaks... if nothing delete it
[00:39] <astraljava> induz: Are you seeing any messages while it's trying to boot?
[00:40] <astraljava> sneakyimp: Might not work for symlinks then, as they're probably created at postinst. Maybe try with the file that the link is referring to?
[00:40] <sneakyimp> Bims: ack.  very nervous about 'seeing if something breaks'.  this server not online yet ... it could take weeks to know if something broke
[00:40] <astraljava> sneakyimp: Sorry, didn't read the later line.
[00:41] <induz> astraljava, no....but I am trying it again with UNETbootin and Live usb Ubuntu
[00:41] <astraljava> sneakyimp: Then again, it should still show where it's pointing to. Try that instead of the link.
[00:41] <Bsims> I know but its the best idea
[00:41] <sneakyimp> astraljava: i was mistaken!  it does work on some symlinks, just not /lib/udev/devices/sndstat -- something weird about that symlink.
[00:42] <Bsims> check to see if you can update udev
[00:43] <bcessa> no luck, even removing everything and just adding the root and user line I keep getting the same syntax error, I'll try rebooting and accessing directly as root via SSH and using visudo to edit the damn file
[00:44] <astraljava> sneakyimp: Umm... are you sure those are symlinks? They look like device nodes to me.
[00:45] <tyler_d> I am trying to install the nvidia drivers, however whenever I do x will not come back on, even after attempting to reconfigure via the grub failsafe mode.
[00:45] <astraljava> bcessa: If you have root logins enabled, you don't need to reboot. Rather, don't.
[00:45] <lder> hi, i have a subnet <IP_ADDRESS> and set up a route to it and can ping back and forth from my main network fine but ssh and http connections just hang.  i am looking at logs and firewalls, etc.  anything obvious to verify?
[00:45] <bcessa> amazon :o I enter as root, and even using visudo I keep getting the same syntax error, what can I do now?
[00:47] <bcessa> *amazing
[00:47] <LABcrab> :(
[00:47] <bcessa> oh, I'm getting a more useful message now, Converted from DOS format, now, how THAT happen :o
[00:47] <astraljava> bcessa: So, you're root, and you enter visudo, remove all the whitespaces, like go to the 'r' in root, hit backspace so that it moves to the line above it, press enter again, go to the end of the lines, make sure there are no whitespaces there, and save the file. Will it not complain about anything then?
[00:48] <astraljava> bcessa: I'd point my finger to the parallels panel (or whatever it is?)
[00:49] <bcessa> damn!!!  Move it aside, and create a new one from scratch.
[00:50] <bcessa> question: If I remove entirely the /etc/sudoers file am I be able to run visudo and just create a new one?
[00:50] <astraljava> bcessa: Good question.
[00:50] <somsip> bcessa: maybe best to purge sudo and apt-get it again?
[00:51] <cmanns> yo
[00:51] <astraljava> bcessa: I'll need to try in a VM.
[00:51] <cmanns> anybody pxeboot install ubuntu before
[00:52] <tyler_d> I am trying to install the nvidia drivers, however whenever I do x will not come back on, even after attempting to reconfigure via the grub failsafe mode.
[00:53] <in3ct0r_> What are some great ppa's for ubuntu..? Right now i have the stardards?! Running ubuntu 10.04 LTS 3
[00:54] <bcessa> VICTORY!!!!! :D
[00:54] <astraljava> bcessa: Nice. :) Well done.
[00:54] <bcessa> I delete the /etc/sudoers file and run visudo to create a new one
[00:55] <astraljava> in3ct0r_: Not going to recommend any of them, unless absolutely needed. There's no official support for them at all, aside from the author (possibly).
[00:55] <astraljava> bcessa: Okay good. Nice to know it works like that.

[01:00] <astraljava> !ask | some
[01:00] <some> Well, if anyone who knows how to help me please respond.   That'll do it.
[01:00] <some> in the terminal?
[01:01] <OmegaForte> some, Yeah. Should do it just fine,.
[01:01] <some> not halt all just halt will close everything?
[01:01] <OmegaForte> some, Halt is the shutdown command.
[01:02] <some> okay.  and it will shutdown weather there being programs running or people logged in?
[01:03] <OmegaForte> some, It's got args, -f (Force) -p (Power-off) -w wtmp logged fake shut down(?) and --verbose.
[01:03] <OmegaForte> some, I just use it as halt.
[01:03] <ezrafree> hello
[01:03] <ezrafree> each time i restart i have to run gnome-panel & disown ...can anyone tell me how i can get this command to run each boot up?
[01:04] <OmegaForte> ezrafree, I believe you can put that in the startup applications in system > preferences.
[01:05] <ezrafree> OmegaForte: sorry, i already do have it there, but i guess something kills it or it doesn't start?
[01:05] <MKDrag0n> between NVIDIA 173 and NOUVEAU 3D experimental, wich of them is better?
[01:06] <OmegaForte> ezrafree, Well, then try this ; http://embraceubuntu.com/2005/09/07/adding-a-startup-script-to-be-run-at-bootup/
[01:06] <OmegaForte> MKDrag0n, Why not the Nvidia 240 drivers?
[01:07] <MKDrag0n> because my card has problems with unity, wich can only be solved with these 2 drivers...its geforce go 7300...
[01:07] <OmegaForte> MKDrag0n, Do you want to use unity?
[01:07] <MKDrag0n> yes
[01:07] <MKDrag0n> that's why im asking, between these two, wich one is better?
[01:07] <OmegaForte> MKDrag0n, well, I can't help you. I don't do cellphone-esque UI's. I'd go with the latter.
[01:11] <jodie> Whats the word on the intel i7 in the dell working with ubuntu? Any one know?
[01:11] <magpii> can someone give me a link to a decent video encoder for ubuntu please?
[01:11] <OmegaForte> jodie, I'm running an i7 on the X58.
[01:12] <magpii> my digital camera records in a wierd format and i need to convert it so i can edit the thing
[01:13] <OmegaForte> magpii, What format is it?
[01:14] <jodie> Was looking at the alien 17x.. Appears it would make a good duel boot.. Windows7 and ubuntu
[01:14] <magpii> it saves as a quick time video but when i open in avideux it comes up as a h.268 or something similar
[01:14] <zachsplr> Anyone know how to install adobe air on 64 bit 11.04 ubuntu?
[01:14] <OmegaForte> magpii, It's m4v. You're gonna want to add this ppa. https://edge.launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases
[01:15] <jodie> zachspir.. Goto software center and search for adobe
[01:16] <zachsplr> That only show flash not air
[01:16] <OmegaForte> Hey zachsplr, google is useful. http://get.adobe.com/air/thankyou/?installer=Adobe_AIR_2.6_for_Linux_(.deb)
[01:16] <jodie> zachspir.. goto adobe.com downloads.. Should be a .deb package there.
[01:19] <clowerweb> should i make my user account root?
[01:19] <OmegaForte> clowerweb, No.
[01:19] <zachsplr> The problem for me is after I install adobe air on my 64 bit ubuntu it does not load any .air applications. For example if I try to open any kind of .air installer with Air installed it does nothing.
[01:20] <clowerweb> i hate using sudo for everything though :/
[01:20] <OmegaForte> clowerweb, You'd still have to.
[01:20] <zachsplr> It seems like the installation failed somewhere...
[01:20] <clowerweb> is there any way to not have to?
[01:20] <OmegaForte> clowerweb, Because the root account is locked. You could mess with your sudoers file...
[01:21] <Doonz> guys what application do i use to grow a drive from 9tb to 12tb?
[01:21] <Guest99816> how do i set up a wireless connection on a laptop?
[01:21] <OmegaForte> Guest99816, Click the network icon in the upper right, and choose the access point, put in informations, ????? Profit!
[01:21] <clowerweb> Guest it didn't find drivers for your automatically?
[01:22] <zachsplr> clowerweb: I believe sudo passwd root will activate the root account. By logging into root account will not have to enter sudo command...
[01:22] <magpii> omegaforte: thanks mate, job done
[01:22]  * OerHeks never heard of 12tb drives
[01:22] <OmegaForte> magpii, NO PROBALO!
[01:22] <Doonz> OerHeks thanx for your input
[01:22] <OmegaForte> OerHeks, I think he's using an iSCSI device.
[01:22] <somsip_> clowerweb: sudo -i
[01:22] <induz> is there any way i can have a whole of UBuntu on my usb stick like BartPE
[01:22] <OerHeks> Doonz LVM, RAID ?
[01:23] <OmegaForte> induz, Yeah. Just set it as the install point.
[01:23] <clowerweb> sudo -i will activate root?
[01:23] <somsip_> clowerweb: it'll make the shell into an interactive shell with root 'permanently' in control, until you 'exit'
[01:23] <Doonz> 12tb raw with 9th ext2 formatted
[01:23] <induz> I am l have downloaded the .iso and the USB boots to but...
[01:23] <clowerweb> ah ok
[01:24] <induz> which version will fit into my 1 gb USB
[01:24] <clowerweb> i'm on kubuntu, so i can just enter that into the terminal in dolphin and it will have a root session until closed?
[01:24] <OmegaForte> induz, Latest will work, but it'd be live mode. An install would bloat to fill that twice over.
[01:25] <comfortsuites> whats ubuntus equivalent of windows 'ipconfig'
[01:25] <OmegaForte> comfortsuites, Like for what, dropping dhcp and such?
[01:25] <somsip_> !ifconfig
[01:25] <induz> and how can i install that on my usb
[01:25] <somsip_> (is one, but might not do everything you want)
[01:26] <induz> I am lloking for a standlaone linux to run from usb
[01:26] <induz> no instalation on HDD
[01:26] <comfortsuites> how do i see dns info
[01:26] <pushpop> I need to install several dependencies when I try to install one package what apt-get install arugement would i use to fore the install of all
[01:26] <th0r> comfortsuites: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[01:26] <magpii> how do i kill a frozen app?
[01:26] <th0r> comfortsuites: and for the other ip info use ifconfig
[01:27] <OmegaForte> induz, you'd be basically copying a live cd to the thumbstick. It'd run fine, but like a live cd. If you want a built distro, look for damnsmall linux, or google about for slimming ubuntu down.
[01:27] <clowerweb> ok, so anyone have an idea why phpmyadmin is saying: #13 - Can't get stat of './test' (Errcode: 13) when trying to create a database?
[01:27] <somsip_> !xkill | magpii
[01:27] <magpii> whats the full path in terminal?
[01:27] <OmegaForte> You'd be typing xkill
[01:27] <somsip_> magpii: should be in path...ah - good point OmegaForte
[01:27] <OmegaForte> magpii, After you type xkill, it'll let you click one application, and it will sack it.
[01:28] <magpii> ok cheers amigos
[01:28] <clowerweb> looks like error 13 is a permissions error
[01:28] <clowerweb> logged into phpmyadmin under root, so that shouldn't happen
[01:28] <OmegaForte> Ugh god..
[01:29] <OmegaForte> What are you doing..
[01:29] <OmegaForte> clowerweb, What are you trying to do?
[01:29] <somsip_> clowerweb: phpmyadmin only has www-data permissions. root is the db user
[01:29] <clowerweb> trying to create a database in phpmyadmin
[01:29] <OmegaForte> I'm done.
[01:29] <clowerweb> so do i have to change folder perms in the filesystem somewhere?
[01:29] <OmegaForte> Anyone has issues, let me know.
[01:30] <somsip_> clowerweb: it owuld be worth checking that, yes.
[01:34] <Od3n> can anyone help me out with a question
[01:34] <Obama> Od3n: Don't ask to ask, just ask your question, if someone knows they will answer.
[01:34] <Od3n> having issue's booting up in ubuntu
[01:34] <OmegaForte> Don't ask to ask questions.
[01:34] <itch_> Hello ppl. Does anyone know what exactly needs to be done in order to have my trackpoint thinghie show up on gpointing-devices-settings ?
[01:35] <Luig1> Hi there. I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 and I'm wondering if there's some way to install Xfce 4.8 through apt
[01:35] <Od3n> so I boot up and it give me a few options 2 of which are recovery options
[01:35] <OmegaForte> Od3n, Okay, that's normal.
[01:36] <jodie> luig1.. do aptitude search xfce
[01:36] <Od3n> well sort of cause what it really do is just boot up for the most part
[01:37] <Od3n> so I pick recovery and it loads then I just get stuck with (initramfs)
[01:37] <magpii> wow. handbrake is awesome. took me ages on adobe premier, this is like a woodpecker on speed
[01:37] <Luig1> Well jodie, I'm using Xfce 4.6.2 right now, but that seems to be the latest version in the repositories I have
[01:38] <OmegaForte> magpii, Get used to it. Linux is far superior.
[01:38] <magpii> omegaforte: indeed. i am still a bit green with the system but its rocking so far
[01:38] <OmegaForte> magpii, All of my windows games (Killing Floor, BC2, others) perform far better in linux than they do in windows. I've seen average gains of 20% in decreased load times and better speed.
[01:39] <seanmc98> can someone help me set up ADB in ubuntu 11.04 please
[01:39] <clowerweb> ah sweet, got it, thanks
[01:39] <OmegaForte> seanmc98, ADP?
[01:39] <somsip_> clowerweb: cool
[01:39] <magpii> omegaforte: unfortunatly i cannot get wine to work on this computer, otherwise i would jack bill gates and install ubuntu on my pc
[01:39] <seanmc98> OmegaForte, whats ADP?
[01:39] <haryv> Which part of the ubuntu team is responsible for the seamless integration of the graphical package manager in ubuntu?
[01:40] <haryv> Trying to install a app and getting memory share issues
[01:40] <clowerweb> sudo dolphin and changed perms on /var/mysql to 777 (is that a good thing? it's not production though..)
[01:40] <OmegaForte> seanmc98, Sorry, I don't know what you wanted. ADB, Sorry, miskey.
[01:40] <OmegaForte> seanmc98, I don't know what ADB is; but if you tell me, I'll give it a shot.
[01:40] <Od3n> anyone know what that would be?
[01:40] <seanmc98> android debugging bridge
[01:40] <OmegaForte> seanmc98, Alright, I'll give it a shot. hang around.
[01:40] <witeshark> earlier i posted issues about wireless connection - the solution was to find the wireless card manufacturer package in synaptic package manager and mark + install
[01:41] <seanmc98> i was following the guide here http://board.teamwhiskey.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=1234
[01:41] <seanmc98> howere i am stumped when it says to let drivers see phone. i though linux didnt use drivers
[01:41] <grmrgecko> I have a server and I need to upgrade it to Ubuntu 10.10. It gives me a warning over VNC not to do it via ssh. So would it be dangerous if I was to install screen and upgrade?
[01:41] <OmegaForte> seanmc98, Not making an account to view a forum post.
[01:42] <seanmc98> oh yes that part is stupid sorry
[01:42] <seanmc98> OmegaForte, PM?
[01:42] <tyler_d> have an Acer TravelMate 8572 and for the life of me cannot get the screen in xorg.conf to show up when I reboot with it... help please
[01:42] <magpii> omegaforte: which wine package do i need to install from symantic? theres a whole list of them
[01:42] <somsip_> seanmc98: I got ADB working fine, but didn't try with connnected to phone - just on emulator. Try here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11823740#post11823740
[01:42] <OmegaForte> magpii, Hang on kiddo. I need to do something first.
[01:43] <magpii> omegaforte: no problemo
[01:43] <OmegaForte> seanmc98, Well, if it seems to work, try it.
[01:43] <grmrgecko> http://ubuntunation.org/?p=828
[01:43] <OmegaForte> magpii, You got choices. Wine suffers regressions time and again, so there's stable builds, and beta builds. I'm running 1.2.2 right now.
[01:43] <grmrgecko> I see that and can follow it
[01:44] <grmrgecko> however, if I was to do this would my site go down until I contact and admin at the server place to reinstall?
[01:45] <magpii> omegafort: is that the one in the list that reads something like microshite compatability layer meta package?
[01:45] <Od3n> so this issue I am having with initramfs is it something that can be saved or am I going to have to reinstalled Ubuntu
[01:45] <OmegaForte> magpii, easiest way to do it is to install winetricks. It'll install the stable build it's made for.
[01:45]  * mendred has gone fishing: Gone away for now
[01:45] <magpii> omegaforte: ok, will try that
[01:46] <galamar> Hello all. I have a hauppauge itvc16 card and I can not figure out how to make it work with the video programs I have install (mythtv, kaffeine, and many others.) the card is detected and I can use it with a program called "kamoso" which is for my webcam (I think this is weird). I think the problem is my card doesn't show up in the expected location but I'm not sure. Kamoso uses it at /dev/video33 the other apps look for it in /dev/video0
[01:46] <galamar> but that is my webcam??? and I cannot redirect the apps default location settings. I am lost.
[01:47] <TasteOfFaith> hi guys, ive been reading up on running ftp on ubuntu, so far ive set the server up, allowed anon access and given myself ownership of the /srv and /srv/ftp but how do i go about creating and giving permissions to new users?thanks in advance
[01:47] <magpii> omegaforte: when i type your name, do u get the message with my name in red?
[01:47] <OmegaForte> magpii, No, it's in gold for me, because i'm using xchat.
[01:47] <OmegaForte> Dangit dale...Back in 2 minutes.
[01:48] <magpii> omegaforte: ok thats cool, at least i know i am using proper chat commands
[01:48] <bsmith093> im getting " a problem occurred while checking for updates" nearly every single time i check
[01:48] <bsmith093> thats all though, no problems applying them, but how do i flush the repos completely, and redownload them
[01:49] <OmegaForte> Okay, that was faster than I thought.
[01:49] <magpii> omegaforte: is xchat better? i keep having to retype your name whenever i want to message you personally
[01:50] <lsv> is it normal if iwconfig shows wifi0 and wlan0 but I only have one wireless card?
[01:50] <Tom^> !better
[01:50] <OmegaForte> magpii, Just hit tab. Autocomplete works in linux, typically global.
[01:50] <clowerweb> @bsmith093 - does it say something is locked when you click on details after it fails?
[01:50] <magpii> OmegaForte: ahh lol, thats miles better
[01:50] <bsmith093> no it doenst
[01:50] <OmegaForte> magpii, Innit though?
[01:51] <clowerweb> have you tried killing any applications that might be using Apt?
[01:51] <magpii> OmegaForte: i have been on the ubuntu train about 5 months now. i dont manage to do too much with it due to work
[01:51] <magpii> OmegaForte: got a week off for uni so making up for lost time and learning stuff
[01:51] <Od3n> does anyone know if I will need a live cd to fix this initramfs  issue I am having
[01:52] <OmegaForte> magpii, I've been using *nix since 99.
[01:52] <bsmith093> clowerweb: how would i do thwt
[01:53] <magpii> OmegaForte:  lol, oldskool rules. i was a bill gates bitch till i decided my hardware was too important to let some cheap ass software ruin it
[01:53] <OmegaForte> magpii, Yeah. I've got wifi cards that have been dropped from support, and I need them.
[01:53] <Grey_King> sup everyone, can anyone help me with some basic sed usage?
[01:54] <OmegaForte> Grey_King, Don't ask to ask. Just ask the question homes!
[01:54] <Grey_King> OmegaForte, I'll remember that
[01:54] <clowerweb> bsmith093: try killall -w aptget
[01:54] <Grey_King> I'm trying to read a file and replace all spaces with newlines
[01:54] <Grey_King> I'm trying something along the lines of
[01:54] <magpii> OmegaForte:  thats the only problem with computer tech, the hardware the pace of upgrades can leave good tech behind sometimes
[01:54] <Grey_King> cat passwd | sed s/' '/\n/
[01:55] <Grey_King> but no luck
[01:55] <bsmith093> clowerweb:  no process found
[01:55] <Grey_King> I know I'm probably miles off
[01:55] <OmegaForte> magpii, Totally. I need my ultra powered wifi. I need my distributed networking powers.
[01:55] <Grey_King> I've never used sed before
[01:55] <magpii> OmegaForte: ok, i installed winetricks but its not in any menu area, where is the default install location?
[01:55] <clowerweb> bsmith093 try system monitor -> processes and see if anything is using the apt process
[01:55] <OmegaForte> magpii, Don't install it through synaptic.
[01:56] <somsip_> Grey_King: i'm no expert, but http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/107252-how-replace-new-line-n-space-tab-sed.html
[01:56] <OmegaForte> magpii, Install it through the Ubuntu package manager.
[01:56] <Grey_King> thanks somsip_
[01:56] <Grey_King> checking it out now
[01:56] <bsmith093> apt is not listed
[01:56] <clowerweb> try restarting maybe?
[01:56] <somsip_> Grey_King: actually, that's not a good link, but loads of results on google
[01:56] <graft> hi, what's a good svg editor besides inkscape?
[01:57] <OmegaForte> graft, GIMP./
[01:57] <magpii> OmegaForte: i installed through the synaptic package manager in the ubuntu menu
[01:57] <graft> OmegaForte: GIMP edits SVG?
[01:57] <magpii> OmegaForte:  where is the ububtu one?
[01:57] <OmegaForte> graft, Gimp edits everything.
[01:57] <OmegaForte> magpii, It's the last entry in the applications list. I think the one you used.
[01:57] <semeion> no
[01:57] <clowerweb> graft: or you could virtualbox windows and use illustrator :P
[01:58] <clowerweb> or try installing via wine
[01:58] <OmegaForte> clowerweb, Yeah, basically requiring you to pay for software.
[01:58] <semeion> OmegaForte: svg is vector
[01:58] <semeion> OmegaForte: try inkscape for it
[01:58] <OmegaForte> semeion, Yeah, I know.
[01:58] <clowerweb> true, but it's an option :P
[01:58] <magpii> OmegaForte:  ahh, the ubuntu software centre?
[01:58] <OmegaForte> semeion, But I use gimp for everything. It even does SVG's, PDF's, PSD's, whatever I put in it, it uses. So, I don't muck about with inkscape.
[01:58] <graft> OmegaForte: err, this just rasterizes the SVG, poorly
[01:59] <OmegaForte> graft, I've had no issues with it.
[01:59] <graft> clowerweb: yeah, that's something i'd rather avoid
[01:59] <graft> OmegaForte: what's the point of an SVG editor that doesn't let you do vector editing?
[01:59] <magpii> OmegaForte:  in the software center it says its installed
[01:59] <Grey_King> somsip_, got it
[01:59] <clowerweb> graft: me too, unfortunately i have to use Photoshop for work, but i just run windows 7 in virtualbox with PS, works quite well
[01:59] <Grey_King> somsip_, cat passwd | sed -e 's/\s/\n/g'
[02:00] <somsip_> Grey_King: cool - glad you worked it out. Regex often makes me weep...
[02:00] <OmegaForte> Does anyone miss Chevvy Chase...?
[02:01] <Grey_King> somsip_ agreed
[02:01] <plasticwidow> Hi, I could use some help with installing Ubuntu 11.4 over a previous distro on a computer that also has Windows XP
[02:02] <OmegaForte> plasticwidow, Easy. Use the guided install from the disc, and choose the previous linux install by choosing the drive that has ext3, or ext4.
[02:02] <graft> plasticwidow: is the previous distro on its own partition?
[02:03] <plasticwidow> its on its own harddisk, when I try to use the install guide, it tries to put it on a partition with the Windows XP
[02:03] <OmegaForte> plasticwidow, It also allows you to to choose to simply replace the previous linux distro.
[02:03] <plasticwidow> there's no option to replace it
[02:03] <magpii> is the xp partition the full drive?
[02:03] <aron> im
[02:03] <plasticwidow> its two out of three drives
[02:03] <plasticwidow> the third drive was the linux distro
[02:04] <clowerweb> look for the drive with the ext partition and install it there
[02:04] <graft> plasticwidow: and the installer doesn't let you select that drive to install?
[02:04] <clowerweb> the fat32/ntfs partition(s) are windows
[02:04] <Guest57685> im trying to watch a movie in parole but it says cant initialise xv output. any idea what this means?
[02:05] <plasticwidow> we're going back to the screen that's reading the disk info
[02:05] <plasticwidow> sorry... we're new to ubuntu/linux
[02:05] <graft> Guest57685: try using a different video driver
[02:05] <magpii> same here, still finding my way around
[02:05] <clowerweb> me too
[02:06] <plasticwidow> the message we get:  no root file system is defined, please correct this from the partitioning menu
[02:06] <plasticwidow> this is where we are lost
[02:06] <Guest57685> graft: like what?
[02:06] <plasticwidow> the old one had grub and taht worked just fine
[02:06] <plasticwidow> we wanted to install over the old grub system, the new version. a clean full install
[02:06] <clowerweb> plasticwindow: they all have grub, select the partition with the ext filesystem, that's the old distro, and install it there
[02:06] <magpii> not sure about the partition side of install.
[02:06] <plasticwidow> and we get that error message about the root file system
[02:07] <graft> Guest57685: hmm, parole doesn't seem to let you select that... are you wedded to that? I prefer SMPlayer
[02:07] <plasticwidow> when he does that we get the no root system is defined, please correct this from the partitioning menu
[02:07] <plasticwidow> we're not sure what to do
[02:07] <magpii> if your patient enough, i am sure someone on here may be able to help you out
[02:07] <clowerweb> i think you have to select a mount point
[02:07] <plasticwidow> the only options it gives us for anything on that disk is change, delete, revert
[02:07] <magpii> have you tried typing the error message in google?
[02:08] <clowerweb> or it might be called boot something
[02:08] <galamar> Is there a better place to get help with tvcards?
[02:08] <clowerweb> you would select /
[02:08] <arooni-mobile> ubuntu 11.04 does not recognize my casio digital camera when i plug it in.... any ideas on how to fix?
[02:08] <plasticwidow> ok, we'll look up in google
[02:09] <graft> plasticwidow: can you describe the steps you go through?
[02:09] <clowerweb> that's probably the best idea because it's hard to remember all the install screens to recall how to do it
[02:09] <magpii> google isnt the best option, though it is an option while you wait and see if someone has the time to help on here
[02:10] <clowerweb> yeah you need someone who remembers the install screens and options lol
[02:10] <Guest57685> graft: I tried to install mplayer and it says its installed but i cant find it. yhis is a fresh install
[02:10] <magpii> if you type the message in google, chances are you will stumble across a forum post aabout it
[02:10] <graft> Guest57685: mplayer is the command-line program... SMPlayer is a nice front-end for that
[02:11] <Guest57685> graft: how to get it?
[02:11] <graft> Guest57685: should be in the ubuntu software center
[02:12] <plasticwidow> steps:  we place the 11.04 distro on USB, it boots up from USB, and I choose the install Ubuntu 11.04 install, it offers some options, having detected I have another O/S installed, I choose install alongside, it wants to put it apparently in the Windows C drive, previously I had another drive for my earlier Ubuntu.  When I go to the allocate drive space I can see the EXT3 extention where it
[02:12] <plasticwidow> should be on my 250 gig drive.  When I choose install now, I get the message: no root file system is defined, please correct this from the partitioning menu
[02:12] <magpii> clowerweb: keep typing your query in here periodically as you also search google, someone may have the answer but may be afk on here
[02:12] <plasticwidow> it shows two partitions on the /sda  .. ext 3 ... and the swap
[02:12] <OmegaForte> plasticwidow, Just use that drive.
[02:13] <plasticwidow> we tried to use that drive, and it says no root file system defined, please correct this from the partioning menu, it won't allow us to use it without doing that
[02:13] <plasticwidow> and we don't know how to do that
[02:14] <plasticwidow> should we delete the ext3 and swap partitions?  and change it to mount?  or .. ext4 journaling file system .. mount point?
[02:14] <OmegaForte> Ext4.
[02:14] <plasticwidow> and what should the mount point be?
[02:14] <OmegaForte> plasticwidow, /
[02:15] <plasticwidow> ok, so change t5hat to ext4?
[02:15] <plasticwidow> we want to format the partition
[02:15] <OmegaForte> Yeah
[02:15] <plasticwidow> and what should the mount point be?
[02:15] <OmegaForte> plasticwidow, I just told you, /
[02:15] <magpii> cigarettes, flask of coffee and my ubuntu making sweet love to my laptop. life is peechy
[02:15] <plasticwidow> slash couple spaces slash boot, couple spaces, slash home or one of the others?
[02:16] <magpii> ok, slight issue, when i click on the wine program, it does nothing. any ideas?
[02:17] <plasticwidow> ok, apparently it wants a mount point I guess, and I guess /boot or /home?
[02:17] <plasticwidow> does it matter?
[02:17] <somsip_> plasticwidow: / one slash root
[02:17] <plasticwidow> ok
[02:18] <plasticwidow> it comes with the pull down menu does not offer / root
[02:18] <OmegaForte> Home then
[02:18] <graft> plasticwidow: he means '/', not '/root'
[02:18] <plasticwidow> so just forward slash
[02:18] <OmegaForte> Yeah
[02:18] <graft> yes
[02:18] <plasticwidow> ok
[02:18] <magpii> plasticwidow: to message someone personally, begin typing the first letters of their user name and then click the tab button. saves time and stops your message coming up in general chat
[02:18] <plasticwidow> and just leave the swap partition file alone?
[02:19] <OmegaForte> Yeah
[02:19] <plasticwidow> ok, sorry.. lol
[02:19] <clowerweb> magpii: i didn't have any open questions :P
[02:20] <plasticwidow> ooo.. it seems to be working, many many thank you's !!!!!!! ... I give everyone free internets!!!!  tnx  :)
[02:20] <magpii> plasticwidow: lol, it just stops people seeing you replying to a personal message in genral chat, looks like your talking to yourself lol
[02:20] <somsip_> plasticwidow: (yeah - single slash, sorry for ambiguity)
[02:20] <plasticwidow> lol.... ah well, not the first time  :)  I'll remember next time to pm  :)
[02:20] <airtonix> had a situation this morninng on a ubuntu 11.04 machine using classic desktop and libreoffice... colleague reported they couldn't open documents, i arrive and a ps -fe | grep libreoffice reported 20 odd sleeping instances of the splash binary and a libreoffice binary.
[02:20] <OmegaForte> magpii, So, what's up anyway. Wine not working for you? you sure it's installed? It should have made another entry in the application list.
[02:21] <plasticwidow> is ok somsip  :)  not a problem  :)  you all were great.. ty again.. i'm signing off  :)  sorry we so virgin at this  :)
[02:22] <magpii> OmegaForte:  I have it installed, when i first tried it, the blue screen came up with the boxed message in the middle, then it went off. i tried again and it did nothing
[02:22] <OmegaForte> magpii, what are you trying to run, anyway?
[02:22] <magpii> OmegaForte: i had this issue when i first came to ubuntu, something about the 3d graphics but i cant remember how to resolve it
[02:22] <Od3n> hello
[02:22] <OmegaForte> magpii, By installing your gpu drivers.
[02:22] <magpii> OmegaForte: i was wanting to run quake 4 or unreal to pass the time
[02:22] <OmegaForte> magpii, and running wineconfig.
[02:23] <Od3n> anyone know how to fix a initramfs issue
[02:23] <magpii> how do i install the gpu drivers?
[02:23] <OmegaForte> magpii, And check your settings. Then, go to appdb.winehq.org and check your choice.
[02:23] <OmegaForte> magpii, You've got your gpu drivers installed for linux, right?
[02:24] <magpii> OmegaForte: not sure, do u know the command to find out? i was shown before but since lost the text file i saved the command in
[02:24] <OmegaForte> magpii, I can square it up for you. Catch me in a PM and we'll sort it out, hopefully over VNC.
[02:25] <magpii> OmegaForte: how do i do pm?
[02:25] <OmegaForte> magpii, /msg OmegaForte
[02:28] <JuJuBee_> How can I share via exports a partition that is ntfs formatted?
[02:36] <Docfxit> I ran out of room on Ubuntu gnome.  What command can I use to change direcory.  cd doesn't work.
[02:37] <graft> Docfxit: what do you mean, cd doesn't work?
[02:37] <jerware> hi
[02:38] <Docfxit> When I put CD \etc I get an error saying -bash: CD: command not found
[02:38] <graft> Docfxit: lower-case
[02:38] <Infernet> Docfxit: cd /etc with out caps
[02:38] <graft> Docfxit: linux is case-sensitive
[02:39] <graft> Docfxit: also, don't delete anything in /etc
[02:40] <Docfxit> When I put in cd \etc in lower case it comes back with -bash: CD: command not found    Exactly as I have typed it.  I type it in in lower case.
[02:41] <graft> Docfxit: should be /etc, not \etc
[02:41] <Docfxit> I am in root@UbuntuAsterisk:~#
[02:41] <graft> Docfxit: and i suspect what it said the second time is bash: cd: etc: No such file or directory
[02:41] <coz_> Docfxit,   cd /etc  not  cd \etc
[02:42] <KM0201> whya re you logged in as root anyway?
[02:42] <coz_> Docfxit,  are you coming from windows ?
[02:43] <Docfxit> Sorry.  I tried cd /etc in lower case and it comes back with -bash: CD: command not found
[02:43] <coz_> Docfxit,  are you logged in as root?
[02:43] <Docfxit> Yes.
[02:43] <coz_> Docfxit,  type  exit
[02:43] <coz_> Docfxit,   then try cd /etc
[02:44] <Docfxit> I typed exit.  Now I'm not logged in as root.   I tried cd /etc in lower case and it comes back with -bash: CD: command not found
[02:44] <graft> where the heck is that dash coming from?
[02:44] <voglster> Docfxit, lowercase
[02:45] <KM0201> voglster: he says he is lowercase.
[02:45] <coz_> Docfxit,  ok let me ask ,, have you been using root  for a time including installing and uninstalling and making settings changes?
[02:45] <Docfxit> Everything I type in is in lowercase.
[02:45] <voglster> KM0201, i just noticed :-(
[02:45] <KM0201> coz_: BINGO!!!
[02:45] <Docfxit> coz_   No.
[02:45] <KM0201> yeah right.
[02:46] <graft> that woldn't do anything anyway, cd is a shell built-in
[02:46] <coz_> Docfxit,   what it sounds like might be happening ,, because of being logged in as root,, is that you may have screwed with permissions
[02:46] <Infernet> Docfxit: sudo cd /etc
[02:46] <voglster> how did Docfxit become root? sudo bash -i
[02:46] <graft> unless he rewrote the bash executable, there's no way to destroy it
[02:46] <KM0201> voglster: sudo -i   is the most acceptable way
[02:46] <KM0201> but you have some people who sudo su - and set a root password, etc.. (which is not supported)
[02:46] <pythonirc101> is there any tool in ubuntu that lets me administer 10 or more fedora machines using one shell? I dont want to ssh to each and execute commands. I was tyring mussh, any other recommendations?
[02:47] <Docfxit> I became root with sudo -i
[02:47] <KM0201> ..
[02:47] <Docfxit> After the cd didn't work.
[02:47] <voglster> Docfxit, but cd works fine in root?
[02:47] <Docfxit> Now when I type sudo cd (in lower case) I press the space bar and the cd changes to CD.
[02:47] <KM0201> Docfxit: dunno, i cd into /etc w/o issue.
[02:47] <graft> pythonirc101: how are you going to administer a machine without logging into it?
[02:48] <pythonirc101> graft: I need ssh login
[02:48] <pythonirc101> graft: just that i dont want to do it one by one
[02:48] <voglster> Docfxit, rewrite you bash profile from skel?
[02:48] <Docfxit> voglster  How can I do that?
[02:48] <graft> pythonirc101: seems like mussh would do just that...?
[02:49] <Blair>  can someone please give me some quick advice?
 I am trying to make a windows 7 bootable usb from ubuntu 10.10
 and unetbootin creates it from the iso
 but when I try to boot from it, the bootloader shows nothing.
 what step am I missing out? ive tried it like 10 times
[02:49] <FloodBot1> Blair: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:49] <Blair> sorry my apologies
[02:49] <pythonirc101> graft: for some reason i'm having ssh key issued with mussh
[02:49] <pythonirc101> I can login without any password but mussh tells me some Active key error
[02:50] <KM0201> Blair: you cannot put a Win 7 ISO, ona  thumb drive, w/ Unetbootin, that will never work, you need to google some different tools
[02:50] <voglster> Docfxit, quick and dirty... grab .bashrc from /root/ and put it in your home directory... change permissions on it so you own it...
[02:50] <voglster> Docfxit, you wont see any changes until you login on another shell
[02:51] <voglster> Blair, you need to use the window bootloader to do something like that.. there are plenty of guides for that
[02:51] <graft> pythonirc101: seems like you could just write a shell script to do this yourself... i assume you have all your hosts set up with password-less keys
[02:52] <Blair> Voglster: I cant find anything that i havent tried. a possible link to one i might have missed?
[02:52] <Cerrdor> Ok wierd question is there a way to have the terminal display what program is running in it and not say "Terminal" at the top?
[02:52] <Docfxit> voglster, Maybe i should just re-boot the machine.
[02:52] <slack-m> 5v5 scrim now! pm me
[02:52] <Cerrdor> like it would say "Netstat" or "Whatever"
[02:52] <voglster> slack-m, wrong channel ;-)
[02:52] <KM0201> Blair: i can guarantee you, any "linux tool" (unetbootin, pen drive linux, etc..) will be a total waste of time.
[02:52] <Blair> KM0201: I have done it with unetbootin from windows, and it can be done with linux i just cant find how
[02:52] <Docfxit> voglster.    That is why I was trying to cd to a folder I could delete files in.
[02:54] <voglster> just rm /blah/blah/file
[02:54] <Blair> KM0201: with windows you run it through command
[02:54] <Cerrdor> ok second question is there a way to get files to show up one color directories another etc in the terminal?
[02:55] <KM0201> Docfxit: if you're that tight for space, why not just reinstall, and clear up some more space?.. (or spend a LOT of time w/a  partition editor)
[02:55] <w30> Blair, have you got a windows iso?
[02:55] <Blair> w30: yes
[02:55] <PlanckWalk> When copying data DVDs with K3B and verifying, it looks like it verifies the N'th copy N times.  Not good when copying a given disk 40 times.
[02:55] <voglster> PlanckWalk, stop verifying ;-)
[02:56] <PlanckWalk> Yeah, that's the workaround I'm using :-/
[02:56] <voglster> hehe
[02:56] <w30> Blair,  Usb-creator will make a bootable flash drive from any bootable cd iso
[02:56] <PlanckWalk> I didn't notice at first since the DVD only has about 900 MB of data on it, and so it goes fairly fast.
[02:56] <coz_> Docfxit,   you can also do  gksudo nautilus and delete , drag and drop,,etc  right from nautilus
[02:57] <PlanckWalk> But by the 5th copy it was getting pretty slow.
[02:57] <Blair> w30: is it in the repositories?
[02:58] <w30> Blair, yes and you can get up to 4gig (depends on flash drive size) configuration space.
[02:58] <Blair> w30: thats to make ubuntu from windows, i need to make windows from ubuntu
[02:58] <Docfxit> coz_, When I gksudo nautilus I get a message saying: Failed to run nautilus as user root.  Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file.
[02:59] <coz_> Docfxit,   you have permissions issues then
[02:59] <Cerrdor> ok second question is there a way to get files to show up one color directories another etc in the terminal?
[02:59] <KM0201> ..
[02:59] <w30> Blair, usb-creator is a linux (ubuntu) app that makes bootable flash drives from a bootable iso, either mac,windows,ubuntu, fedora whatever
[03:00] <th0r> Cerrdor: there is a colour option for ls, or at least there used to be. Check the man page
[03:00] <graft> don't run nautilus as root
[03:00] <graft> that's a terrible idea
[03:00] <Cerrdor> k
[03:00] <KM0201> w30: hmm, i've tried to make w bootable windows usb w/ that tool (XP) and it failed
[03:00] <graft> Cerrdor: by default ls should show in color....?
[03:00] <Lasers> graft: Nope.
[03:00] <Blair> w30: ok ill download it now and give that a shot
[03:01] <graft> Cerrdor: but ls --color=auto
[03:01] <Cerrdor> how can I make it always show colors?
[03:01] <graft> Cerrdor: put alias ls='ls --color=auto' in your ~/.bashrc
[03:02] <Docfxit> KM0201, I can't re-install.  The machine is running a phone system live.  If anything doesn't work the company has no phones.  I am working on building another updated system with more space.
[03:02] <somsip_> Cerrdor: normally already added to .bashrc, but add this if not: alias ls='ls -h --color=auto'
[03:02] <th0r> Cerrdor: ls --color=always
[03:02] <KM0201> Docfxit: sounds like quite a predicament
[03:02] <Blair> w30: for some reason the download page on the website isnt working properly for me, any chance you could get the direct link and paste it for me to download from there?
[03:03] <w30> Blair, the iso has to be from a bootable cd though not just copy files from cd. an iso is one file (just saying)
[03:03] <Blair> w30: yeah i know that part lol
[03:03] <somsip_> Docfxit: could you sudo rm -rf /var/log/*.gz ? If there's nothing critical likely to be in there
[03:04] <args[0]> hi how can I save an alias? I did the alias command but doesnt get saved when disconnecting from ssh
[03:04] <somsip_> args[0]: put it in .bashrc
[03:04] <w30> Blair, it's in the Ubuntu repos just search for usb-creator
[03:04] <tripelb> What is up 10.04 with the various themes. I want what I see as the "regular" icons on the panel and whatever happened to the controls being on one side. They switch with the theme.  This is silly at best.
[03:06] <w30> tripelb, that is what a theme is; mucking with the default to ones (author) taste
[03:06] <tripelb> What does it mean when it says that booting up did not unlock my keyring and I need to put in my password.
[03:06] <Blair> w30: ah found it, thank you heaps, ill let you know how i get on
[03:07] <Northernen> When shrinking an ext4 partition, is there are a way to make certain that no data is lost in the process?
[03:07] <seanmc98> guy whats sox?
[03:07] <tripelb> w30 (not wd40) I'd like to use the default but I dont know what it is.
[03:07] <tripelb> sex misspelled
[03:07] <th0r> seanmc98: a sound toolkit
[03:07] <w30> tripelb, you can order your close,max, minimize any way you want by editing a gconfig file
[03:07] <seanmc98> well i am trying to set up apk-manager and i get this
[03:07] <seclm193> hey all
[03:08] <seanmc98> sean@ubuntu:~$ cd /home/sean/apk-manager
[03:08] <seanmc98> sean@ubuntu:~/apk-manager$ Chmod 755 Script.sh
[03:08] <seanmc98> No command 'Chmod' found, did you mean:
[03:08] <seanmc98>  Command 'chmod' from package 'coreutils' (main)
[03:08] <seanmc98> Chmod: command not found
[03:08] <FloodBot1> seanmc98: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:08] <coz_> seanmc98,    http://sox.sourceforge.net/
[03:08] <seanmc98> sean@ubuntu:~/apk-manager$ chmod 755 Script.sh
[03:08] <Northernen> seanh, bash is case-sensitive. Its chmod, not Chmod.
[03:08] <tripelb> w30 OK where do I find this file please?  (tripelb is both smart and dumb)
[03:08] <Northernen> seanmc98, *
[03:09] <tripelb> w30 AND if I didnt have you to ask how could I find out where that file is _on my own_?
[03:09]  * tripelb loves to not need to ask.
[03:09] <Cerrdor> when using apt-get if I use -r doesnt it pass those "Do you want to install y/n" question
[03:09] <Cerrdor> s
[03:10]  * tripelb loves not to need to ask. (grammar correction)
[03:10] <graft> Cerrdor: -y does that
[03:10] <Cerrdor> thats the one
[03:11] <Cerrdor> where is this .bashrc file?
[03:11] <Cerrdor> sudo gedit ~.bashrc
[03:11] <somsip_> Cerrdor: ~/
[03:11] <Cerrdor> ?
[03:11] <graft> Cerrdor: ~/.bashrc
[03:11] <Cerrdor> oh
[03:11] <somsip_> Cerrdor: cd; vi .bashrc
[03:11] <graft> Cerrdor: ~ being your home directory
[03:12] <Blair> w30: that program isnt loading the iso file where as unetbootin was loading the iso
[03:12] <Blair> w30: just not loading the bootloader
[03:13] <Docfxit> somsip, What is in the files /var/log/*.gz
[03:13] <somsip_> Docfxit: previous days old logs
[03:13] <Northernen> When shrinking an ext4 partition, is there are a way to make certain that no data is lost in the process?
[03:13] <somsip_> Docfxit: if you know what services you're running you could be selective and just rm, say, mysql*.gz
[03:14] <Docfxit> somsip_, Thanks.  I don't see why I would need any logs.  Especially old ones.
[03:15] <somsip> Docfxit: well if they're not important, it could clear some drive space so you can do...something more than you can now. With what you say, it could be you have excess undeleted logs
[03:16] <tripelb> Northernen, I have that question but I didnt state it as techie as you did and I got ignored time and again. Please tell me with my nick in the line when you get a good answer. Much thanks.
[03:16] <Cerrdor> hmm
[03:16] <Cerrdor> .bashrc keeps bringing up an empty file
[03:17] <Cerrdor> maybe thats why nothing is in color
[03:17] <Cerrdor> lol
[03:17] <Loshki> Northernen: the same way we've always done it. By having a complete backup of the data 'just in case'....
[03:18] <Northernen> Will do, tripelb.
[03:18] <w30> Blair, the program actually  makes a mbr on the flash drive not just copying the iso to it. 2 different things one boots the other don't\
[03:18] <Northernen> Loshki, aye, I intend to do so, but I would rather have to do a full recovery.
[03:18] <MoMo> Question: what file do i edit -- run commands on boot before anyone logs in?
[03:18] <aibrahim> hello
[03:19] <somsip> MoMo: /etc/rc.local
[03:19] <Blair> w30: i still cant find the program, can you get me a link please
[03:19] <graft> Cerrdor: cp ~root/.bashrc ~/
[03:19] <Blair> w30: its not in my repository
[03:20] <aibrahim> i have installed archlinux on /dev/sda8 and then install ubuntu with grub2 on /dev/sda7, grub2 add two lines for archlinux but with the name ubuntu 6.38 on /dev/sda8 and when i proceed with it i got ubuntu not archlinux
[03:20] <aibrahim> how can i fix that or how cn i add another linux system with grub2
[03:20] <aibrahim> ?
[03:20] <Cerrdor> cp: cannot stat `/root/.bashrc': No such file or directory
[03:21] <somsip> Cerrdor: truy copying from /etc/skel
[03:21] <aibrahim> please can anyone help me
[03:21] <aibrahim> ?
[03:22] <Cerrdor> cp: cannot stat `/home/phr34k/etc/skel/.bashrc': No such file or directory
[03:22] <magn3ts> Hi, I'd like to reset the permissions of my home directory to safe, reasonable defaults, but I'm not sure what to do so that I won't upset things that use locks, etc, as hidden files in my home directory.
[03:22] <magn3ts> Also, I'd like to prevent others from being able to read my files in my home dir.
[03:22] <w30> Blair, its called usb-creator-common and usb-creator-gtk. when you choose usb-creator-gtk it adds usb-creator-common
[03:23] <Docfxit> somsip, I ran rm -rf /var/log/*.gz  Double Commander didn't show any more available space even though it deleted a lot of files.  Disk usage analyzer shows 202.8 gb available.
[03:23] <somsip> Docfxit: so when you say you have no space, what is telling you that?
[03:23] <Blair> w30: that isnt loading the iso when i select it
[03:24] <Cerrdor> should I use this one? /etc/bashrc
[03:24] <Northernen> aibrahim, need to edit grub config. Shouldnt be a problem.
[03:24] <Blair> w30: It shows up, i click open, but then it doesnt load it
[03:24] <w30> Blair, have you got your flash drive stuck into the usb port?
[03:25] <WinCamXP> I was kinda bored, so I came here.
[03:25] <somsip> Cerrdor: If you mean /etc/bash.bashrc, I hink that's system wide that then calls .bashrc in /home/user. Do you not have /etc/skel/.bashrc?
[03:26] <WinCamXP> I just finished getting Ubuntu installed on my Floridian friend's laptop
[03:26] <itrebal> I installed Debian server, but for various reasons I need to switch to Ubuntu server. I'm successfully booting off of a ubuntu-server USB key, but it seems to just drop me back into the Debian bootloader. Is this common behavior? or is it likely I've messed something else up along the line?  I thought it was one of insufficient drive space
[03:27] <MoMo> somsip: i put startx in /etc/rc.local ... but it still brings me to the text login
[03:27] <wols_> itrebal: server installer is the same as the debian installer afaik, but it still installs ubuntu afaik. and there are tons of howtos to put the desktop installer on a usb stick
[03:27] <Cerrdor> cp: cannot stat `/etc/skel/.bashrc': No such file or directory
[03:27] <ezrafree> hello, i already have "gnome-panel" in my startup applications, but i still have to manually run gnome-panel each time i boot up, how could i look into this?
[03:28] <somsip> MoMo: I don't belelive that's the right way to startx on boot. You need a display maanger or you need to autologin a user on boot, hen startx in .bashrc
[03:28] <Cerrdor> when I ls in etc I do see a skel
[03:28] <itrebal> wols_: of course, the problem is that GRUB is listing the Debian and Debian - Recovery boot options, and nothing for an Ubuntu installer. I've successfully put the server installer onto the USB stick and am booting to it currently.
[03:28] <Cerrdor> so what gives
[03:28] <Blair> w30: yeah i do, it sees the usb drive
[03:28] <MoMo> somsip: i did apt-get install gdm?
[03:29] <Cerrdor> phr34k@phr34k-virtualmachine:/etc/skel$ ls
[03:29] <Cerrdor> Desktop  Documents  output  Pictures  testapp  Videos
[03:29] <wols_> !info gdm3
[03:29] <somsip> Cerrdor: dunno. If you just want a skeleton .bashrc probably best to dl one
[03:29] <wols_> MoMo: then it should start automatically (gdm that is)
[03:29] <itrebal> wols_: rather, it *appears* its booting to the USB stick, even though nothing seems to fail when I only enable USB booting, and explicitly boot to that disk.
[03:29] <Cerrdor> ok
[03:30] <Cerrdor> and copy it to where?
[03:30] <MoMo> wols_: it doesn't -- did i miss a step? all i did was apt-get install gdm
[03:30] <Cerrdor> ./home/phr34k
[03:30] <somsip> Cerrdor: for your version of ubuntu...copy it to /home/cerrdor/.bashrc (or whatever your home dir is called)
[03:30] <k_sze> How do I find out what kernel module is being used to drive a device connected by USB?
[03:30] <Cerrdor> ok
[03:30] <Docfxit> somsip, I think I'm fine now.  I am able to get around because Double Comander is working since the space is freed up some.
[03:30] <somsip> Docfxit: cool
[03:31] <Blair> w30: i have usb creator, I have a freshly formatted USB drive in as sdb1
[03:31] <w30> Blair, you got me there, I had no trouble making a bootable flash drive on my Ubuntu 11.04
[03:31] <Docfxit> somsip,  I wish I knew what else I could do to clean up this machine.  It seems to be less and less space available.
[03:31] <Blair> w30: alright, cheers for ya help ill keep at it.
[03:32] <Loshki> MoMo: what OS version did you install? The desktop versions usually come with X11/gdm 'out of the box'...
[03:33] <somsip> Docfxit: so you need to focus on what is filling it up. Logs maybe
[03:33] <w30> Blair, usb-creator wipes your flash  drive and reformats every thing left after the boot partition also
[03:34] <cane99> hello
[03:34] <Cerrdor> ok I saved it and now my cursor is over like 40 charachters from >
[03:34] <Cerrdor> how can I correct that
[03:35] <somsip> Cerrdor: edit the bit that refers to PS1. There will be a condition that depends on $color_prompt. Sounds like you're picking up the long prompt
[03:36] <somsip> Cerrdor: though if $color_prompt is not being set and it should be, the source problem is elsewhere
[03:36] <MoMo> Loshki: nm got it -- had to do /usr/sbin/gdm in the rc.local -- can't do just gdm .. thats silly -- silly goose me
[03:36] <Cerrdor> {
[03:36] <Cerrdor>     unset PROMPT_COMMAND
[03:36] <Cerrdor> ?
[03:37] <wols_> MoMo: you did it wrong
[03:37] <wols_> MoMo: gdm (and if desired autologin) are not started via rc.local but its own upstart job
[03:37] <somsip> Cerrdor: just above that PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '
[03:37] <wols_> MoMo: why didn't gdm start automatically ever since you installed it
[03:39] <Cerrdor> nothin there
[03:40] <Cerrdor> or I mean no debian_chroot
[03:40] <somsip> Cerrdor: I don't understand what you're referring to with debian chroot
[03:40] <Cerrdor> somsip> Cerrdor: just above that PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$ '
[03:40] <Cerrdor> there is no $debian_chroot value
[03:41] <Cerrdor> or do you mean just add it
[03:41] <somsip> Cerrdor: what version ubuntu?
[03:42] <Cerrdor> uname -a?
[03:42] <Cerrdor> 2.6.32-33-generic #71-Ubuntu
[03:42] <aeon-ltd> lsb_release -a
[03:42] <somsip> Cerrdor: just ubuntu version...10.04, 10.10,etc
[03:42] <magpii> can someone spare a few mins to help me configure wine please?
[03:43] <aeon-ltd> magpii: they'll probably do that at #winehq
[03:43] <magpii> aeon-ltd:  thanks
[03:44] <wols_> Cerrdor: where does this "debian_chroot" come from?
[03:44] <somsip> wols_: it's in .bashrc
[03:45] <Lasers> wols_: Default Ubuntu Bashrc. I suspect.
[03:47] <Docfxit> somsip,  Thank you very much for your help.
[03:47] <somsip> Docfxit: you're welcome. Glad you got it sorted
[03:47] <Cerrdor> its 11.04?
[03:47] <Cerrdor> 11. whatever the most current one is
[03:48] <somsip> Cerrdor: lsb_release -a
[03:48] <w30> tripelb, I got it in the repos using synaptic, I suppose you could google for the .deb file and find one. I have never tried to access a Ubuntu repository with ftp or http so I can't answer that one. try apt-get usb-creator---maybe

[03:54] <mrconnerton> I have a Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 server with varnish 2.0.4. I want to upgrade varnish to 2.1.5 but it only releases versions for ubuntu LTS. Does anyone know if I can use the 10.04 version on ubuntu 9.10?
[04:00] <goddard> does usb 3.0 work with ubuntu?
[04:01] <xangua> goddard: if you use a recent kernel, yes
[04:01] <goddard> 11.04 recent enough
[04:01] <xangua> don't know wich kernel began to support it
[04:02] <goddard> xangua: well im up to date and it isn't working
[04:03] <confezzor> what are trying to use with the 3.0?
[04:03] <goddard> xangua: it says i have a 3.0 root hub is this the usb 3.0 layer?
[04:03] <goddard> its a 3 TB external hard drive
[04:03] <confezzor> what brand?
[04:03] <goddard> seagate
[04:04] <confezzor> hhhmm i never used seagate on linux..i've used WD...but i can't see why it shouldn't work..
[04:05] <coz_> confezzor,  I have seagate scsi drives here,
[04:05] <confezzor> cause for the most part if it has 3.0 support it has 2.0 as well on the external HD
[04:05] <boywonder> hi my question is i want to remote desktop my ubuntu through windows what are my options?
[04:06] <boywonder> ie windows controls ubuntu!
[04:06] <confezzor> VNC
[04:06] <goddard> confezzor: i it does attach to a special adapater
[04:06] <confezzor> boywonder
[04:06] <boywonder> is that the only way
[04:06] <cipherboy_loc> @boywonder you could use VNC, but it is not recommended as it is not secure.
[04:06] <somsip> confezzor: seagate SATA internal here with no problems, but I don't think that helps coz
[04:06] <goddard> http://www.buy.com/prod/seagate-freeagent-goflex-desk-stac3000101-3-tb-external-hard-drive-usb/q/loc/101/217601465.html
[04:06] <wols_> boywonder: vino. part of gnome. or any other VNC server
[04:06] <goddard> think thats the drive
[04:06] <wols_> !vnc
[04:07] <Trfsrfr> While surfing the web, I clicked into a 'This is probably not the site you're looking for!!!" all red and everything. How much should this worry me?
[04:07] <wols_> !doesn't work | goddard
[04:07] <Trfsrfr> I went ahead anyway
[04:07] <boywonder> confezzor, it would only be locally, is that secure?
[04:07] <boywonder> i want to put my laptop downstairs
[04:07] <confezzor> yea boywonder you can use VNC on Windows just fine
[04:07] <wols_> boywonder: if it's only in your home LAN it should be, since your Home LAN itself is hopefully secure
[04:08] <confezzor> go to filehippo.com and you can get it there
[04:08] <boywonder> even to vncoverssh would be better
[04:08] <goddard> wols_: let me know how i should perform a diagnostic
[04:08] <wols_> goddard: for starters, the kernel output when you plug it in
[04:08] <boywonder> is ubottu a bot ?>
[04:08] <wols_> boywonder: yes
[04:08] <Trfsrfr> yes
[04:09] <Trfsrfr> I did it too
[04:09] <goddard> wols_: i would need a more elaborate explainiation appreciate your assistance
[04:10] <goddard> wols_: uname ?
[04:10] <wols_> sudo tail -f /var/log/kern.log   then plug it in
[04:10] <confezzor> goddard is it formated to fat32..that shouldn't be the issue but i know it should just work when you plug it in
[04:10] <Gryllz> So what do people recommend unity or gnome 3, for the 11.04? I am looking at coverting from windows. I have use backtrack in the past to play around...
[04:10] <goddard> Gryllz: I like Unity
[04:10] <confezzor> Gnome3
[04:10] <goddard> Gryllz: takes some getting use to
[04:10] <goddard> Gryllz: but i am sure you will see the logic in the design
[04:11] <confezzor> have you used backtrack 5..it's awesome
[04:11] <Gryllz> I guess it comes down to preference too
[04:11] <Gryllz> Yeah bt5 rocks
[04:11] <somsip> confezzor: have you used awesome? It's....a bit weird...
[04:11] <samuelsfam> hello dudez
[04:11] <confezzor> somsip..no i never heard of that
[04:11] <boywonder> ok to my second question what do i use for ssh on a windows box, cygwin putty?
[04:12] <somsip> confezzor: tiling WM. Anyway...OT
[04:13] <Gryllz> Is unity to much like windows. And do you think they are moving away from the roots of ubuntu? Just to try and covert windows users?
[04:13] <G00053> can ubuntu detect 10.04 i86 detect more then 3 gigs of ram ?
[04:14] <coz_> Gryllz,   part of the move is to gain more users yes
[04:14] <confezzor> no more like mac you can say..but mac has copied them alot...Gnome 3 i love but know windows 8 is coping them as well
[04:14] <confezzor> now*
[04:14] <coz_> Gryllz,   however,, most platforms are moving towards t he appliance interface due to netbooks
[04:14] <confezzor> and tablets
[04:14] <confezzor> interface
[04:14] <Gryllz> Hmm
[04:14] <coz_> Gryllz,  its not just ubuntu
[04:14] <somsip> G00053: You have to use the PAE kernel
[04:14] <Gryllz> Yeah true
[04:14] <coz_> Gryllz,  it is a trend,, that I personally hope  doesnt last long :)
[04:15] <Gryllz> Me too
[04:15] <confezzor> same here...
[04:15] <confezzor> i love the cloud but i don't want to live in it 24/7
[04:15] <somsip> but this is the flexibility of Linux - drop the DE and use something else
[04:15] <coz_> yes there are always options  especially with linux
[04:15] <Trfsrfr> me3

[04:26] <somsip> goddard: with the HD issue, is it registered at kernel level when you plug it in?
[04:26] <goddard> somsip: i have no idea how to figure that out but would love to check
[04:26] <somsip> goddard: there's more than one way, but I'd unplug it and dmesg, then plug it in and dmesg again
[04:26] <Gryllz> Hey what do you guys use for you irc program?
[04:26] <somsip> Gryllz: irssi
[04:26] <wildgoose> !nvidia ? > goddard

[04:29] <mediabox> does anyone know how to get SB Audigy working (SB0090) in Ubuntu 10.04?
[04:31] <nickhs> mediabox: is this on a laptop or a desktop and does your machine have onboard audio?
[04:31] <confezzor> is that a sound card
[04:32] <mediabox> nickhs, onboard audio yes,  it is a desktop with a PCI Sound Blaster Audigy Card installed
[04:32] <coz_> mediabox,   I am checking now hold on
[04:32] <nickhs> mediabox: have you disabled the onboard sound card/selected the PCI card in the computer BIOS?
[04:32] <hashitish> so basically svn is another form of wget
[04:32] <goddard> nickhs: ok doing that
[04:32] <goddard> somsip: ill pastebin it
[04:33] <Pici> hashitish: subversion is a version control system,
[04:33] <nickhs> goddard: sure, no rush
[04:33] <somsip> hashitish: possibly. I'd suggestyou install mercury and clone the repo,but I only ever used mercury once so who knows
[04:33] <mediabox> nickhs no, they should both be usable
[04:33] <Pici> !vcs
[04:33] <mediabox> nickhs lspci doesn't even show the card
[04:33] <somsip> hashitish: s/mercury/mercurial
[04:33] <nickhs> mediabox: pastebin the output of cat /proc/asound/card please
[04:33] <mediabox> nickhs I was reading that it uses the emu10k1 module, but it does not load automatically
[04:33] <coz_> mediabox,  then you will most likely have to disable onboard sound
[04:34] <mediabox> does anyone know of an alsa config utility?  There is a pretty nice one in Puppy, but I forget what it is
[04:34] <coz_> mediabox,  read through this first ,, and then you can also log onto #pulseaudio and #alsa  channels
[04:35] <coz_> mediabox,    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshootingProcedure
[04:35] <confezzor> they have Gnome alsa mixer
[04:35] <coz_> mediabox,  if you open a terminal  you can type    alsamixer
[04:35] <nickhs> mediabox: that card should work fine, it appears the issue lies in it conflicting with your onboard audio
[04:35] <coz_> mediabox,   see if any card is listed in the upper left corn er

[04:36] <somsip> G00053: w00t!
[04:36] <G00053> it's like double bonus
[04:37] <somsip> G00053: I read that PAE is a bit of a kludge. I'm migrating my other linux install to 64bit, but I'm not bothering upgrading ubuntu yet. If you have 64 bit CPU it might be worth looking into depending on whatyou use he PC for
[04:37] <mediabox> nickhs coz_ thanks, I will try disabling and also the troubleshooting page.  I used to know how to do all this stuff, Ubuntu has made me forget with most everything working "out of the box" :P

[04:37] <lahwran> how should I troubleshoot this?
[04:37] <lahwran> recovery mode boots and operates.
[04:37] <nickhs> lahwran: does pressing ctrl+alt+F1 take you to a command prompt? Is the capslock key blinking?
[04:38] <lahwran> nickhs: lemme reboot to a gui and see what happens
[04:38] <confezzor> what are the specs on that laptop lahwran?
[04:38] <G00053> in all honesty, it's mostly for browsing / messing with my android /being a nerd/ and trying to learn to code
[04:38] <hashitish> somsip: totally baffled
[04:39] <somsip> G00053: then I'd suggest you're ok as you are. If you're into heavy compiling or video work, I understand 64bit can offer a prformance edge. I have no further knowledge on this
[04:39] <tripelb> w30 I think we got our answers crossed. I asked where I could find the gconfig file in which I could edit my controls positioning (l to r corner of the window)

[04:39] <somsip> hashitish: ok
[04:39] <lahwran> confezzor: is that the kind of thing you were looking for?
[04:39] <G00053> somsip: the machine is definatly under utilized, the ram was free
[04:39] <confezzor> yea
[04:40] <confezzor> is that a fresh install as well?
[04:40] <tripelb> w30 fyi I never use synaptic. I find it problematic. I dont understand it. OK It worked once. I stick to apt-get.
[04:40] <lahwran> no idea, it was installed when I got it from my friend. as optical and usb are damaged, I can't reinstall
[04:40] <somsip> G00053: I understand it's more to do with differences in  how internla registers in the CPU are utilized on 64 compared to 32 with PAE. <shrugs>
[04:40] <somsip> G00053: but if you're good and it ain't broke, no worries

[04:44] <coz_> goddard,   mesa-utils
[04:44] <nickhs> goddard: hmm the issue appears to lie with the the USB3 controller - a Fresco Logic Device 1400 which I have never heard of. Let me do some more research quickly
[04:44] <nickhs> goddard: please install the package to get glxinfo
[04:44] <somsip> goddard: I'm going to hand this one off. I see "couldn't allocate port 1 usb_device: which would concern me, but other than that...
[04:46] <nickhs> goddard: you still with me? I need you to try a couple of things
[04:46] <goddard> somsip: ok appreciate the help
[04:46] <goddard> nickhs: yeah
[04:47] <nickhs> goddard: could you pastebin the output of lscpi -v, I'm only looking at the section pertaining to the Fresco Logic Device
[04:47] <lahwran> how do I find out if a harddrive is connected via sata or pata without opening up the device?
[04:50] <goddard> nickhs: says not installed
[04:50] <lahwran> anyone?
[04:50] <nickhs> goddard: pardon? The command lscpi -v should work as you just did lscpi previously
[04:50] <coz_> lahwran,   I am struggling to remember the one command for this hold on
[04:50] <goddard> nickhs: nvm sorry
[04:50] <cgkades> lahwran: when you run df -h nothing happens?
[04:50] <lahwran> maybe something in lshw, coz_?
[04:51] <lahwran> cgkades: only after logging in as a normal user from a tty. when logged in as root from the recovery grub option, df -h works fine

[04:53] <coz_> lahwran,   try    sudo hdparm -I /dev/sda
[04:53] <nickhs> goddard: okay as thought. Please unplug the USB3 device. Run the command "sudo modprobe -r xhci_hcd" then attempt to replug the usb3 drive. Pastebin the results of dmesg after that
[04:53] <NEB0_> Cs onlain
[04:53] <lahwran> okay
[04:54] <coz_> lahwran,  also if you go to  system/administration/dsk utility it should show it there as well
[04:54] <cgkades> lahwran: very odd
[04:54] <lahwran> the harddrive completely stops responding as soon as gdm starts
[04:54] <lahwran> wait, hold that completely

[05:07] <IdleOne> lahwran: yeah something like :)
[05:07] <SJr> I think I know what the problem is
[05:07] <SJr> sdc1 is an LVM drive WD-WCAU4A722562
[05:07] <tayyab> whats new in ubuntu 11.10 ?
[05:08] <lahwran> !ubuntu+1 | tayyab
[05:08] <lahwran> oh, not that useful. nevermind, ignore that
[05:08] <visitor1> how can i save the hdd order in ubuntu? the /dev/sdx chnage after every reboot, so that the sleep orders in fstab arent correct anymore
[05:08] <SJr> Okay so the problem is that the drives boot up in a different order on occasion
[05:09] <SJr> so sdc may be an LVM drive or it may not, if it tries to mount the LVM it's already in ues.
[05:09] <SJr> what's the best way to setup my fstab file
[05:09] <somsip> visitor1: use uuids. Possibly Sjr too
[05:09] <SJr> lol
[05:09] <SJr> Yes
[05:09] <SJr> somsip how do I get the UUID of a drive?
[05:09] <visitor1> sjr?
[05:09] <SJr> I have a similar problem
[05:09] <nickhs> !uuid
[05:09] <Tom^> SJr this is my fstab http://paste.pocoo.org/show/451712/
[05:09] <lahwran> how should I run a SMART check from CLI?

[05:11] <goddard> nickhs: time out allocating port 1 usb device is it trying to give it the first usb port?
[05:12] <nickhs> goddard: the USB3 port is probably the first one
[05:12] <visitor1> somsip , this is a line from rc.local : hdparm -S 100 /dev/sdb1
[05:13] <goddard> nickhs: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=900781
[05:13] <visitor1> but after a reboot dev/sdb1 is another disk
[05:14] <w30> G00053, check your desktop and see if an icon for the drive pops up. If so then Nautilus is mounting the drive for you. to permanently mount the drive put a line in fstab
[05:15] <G00053> w30 ty
[05:15] <visitor1> somsip , you mean like this? hdparm -B 255 -S 241 /dev/disk/by-uuid/04d1aa0d-60a3-4077-ab6b-a0a64f4ca88da
[05:17] <somsip> visitor1: not sure about this. looks like you need an entry in /etc/hdparm.conf
[05:18] <hashitish> somsip:  was you sayin i need to add http://goo.gl/vmNcV  via mercurial ?    are you familiar with tortoisehq - am i on the right track ?
[05:19] <somsip> hashitish: you need to install mercurial which will allow you to run the line 'hg clone {url}' at that webpage. I have used tortoiseSVN on Win but not on Linux.
[05:20] <hashitish> somsip: so mercurial will cut out me needing to copy it all
[05:20] <somsip> hashitish: sorry -...used tortoiseSVN but not toroiseHG. It should let you clone the reopo in some way though
[05:20] <somsip> hashitish: it'll download it in the way that repos are normally copied if you intend building that package
[05:20] <visitor1> somsip , it seems to work, just restarted rc.local , no error?
[05:20] <hashitish> somsip: but in an unconventional fashion i could essetially copy it myself
[05:21] <hashitish> just so i understand
[05:21] <somsip> visitor1: sounds like a result
[05:21] <somsip> hashitish: I'm not good at guessing at unconventional results
[05:21] <somsip> hashitish: s/results/fashions
[05:21] <hashitish> somsip: im just tryin to figure out what is actually going on lol and failing miserably
[05:22] <visitor1> will know it for sure after a reboot, but for now looks ok, thanks somsip
[05:22] <somsip> hashitish: you are trying to download a number of files to build a software package. There areprovided mechanisms to do that - ssh, https and hg. You are wanting to do something different. Up to you
[05:22] <somsip> visitor1: welcome. Hope it stays fixed
[05:23] <hashitish> somsip: no i definitely do not want to do that my friend

[05:24] <KingFisher> Hey guys. When I let my computer idle for a prolonged period of time it no longer goes black into screen saver mode and requests the password when I try to get back on.
[05:24] <KingFisher> any idea whats going on?
[05:25] <somsip> hashitish: no problem. sorry you didn't get quite the result you wanted. Persevere with tortoiseHG.
[05:25] <ghostnik11> i am trying to install a program and i get error: glib2 not found, is there a set of development tools that i need to install on my ubuntu 11.04
[05:25] <somsip> KingFisher: it has a screensaver set with password protection on it
[05:26] <itrebal> it appears that the minimalistic ubuntu 11.04 64 bit installer on a USB key fails with "Debootstrap Error: Failed getting Release file http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/Release." I have the syslog output here: http://paste2.org/p/1560165 any thoughts on how to get this to install?
[05:26] <KingFisher> somsip, Yeah. My screen saver is jut the computer screen going black
[05:26] <KingFisher> It used to do it automatically after 5 minutes
[05:26] <w30> KingFisher, Is it a laptop? if so check your  power saving setttings
[05:27] <KingFisher> its not a screen saver issue so much as a lock-screen issue though.
[05:27] <w30> KingFisher, maybe it' going into suspend
[05:27] <KingFisher> The screen would autolock after 5 minutes idle
[05:28] <G00053> w30: baws it works. thanks
[05:29] <hashitish> somsip: think i get it now :)
[05:29] <somsip> KingFisher: check for a ticked 'Ask for a password' box somewehere under the screensaver settings?
[05:29] <somsip> hashitish: cool
[05:30] <ghostnik11> what are the new build tools that someone in 11.04 has to have to install programs?
[05:30] <hashitish> somsip: we hsall see, maybe about another 4 hours lol
[05:30] <_Neytiri_> is there a way to find out the make and moddle of my network card?
[05:32] <somsip> hashitish: it;s worth working through. I remember balking the first time i had to checkout or clone a source repo. Same each time for svn, git and bzr. Just part of learning and getting comfortable with it
[05:33] <w30> ghostnik11, maybe you are talking about build-essentials for compiling using make command
[05:34] <ghostnik11> w30: no i wanted to know if there were any others b/c i did sudo apt-get build-essentials and it said my computer had latest build essentials
[05:35] <w30> ghostnik11, donno, you are already  ahead of my knowledge, *sigh*
[05:35] <ghostnik11> w30: well thanks for help, bro
[05:36] <hashitish> somsip: ok so i worked out how to clone it, im gettin a tortoise error now, something to do with it being https://

[05:39] <PlayerDisconnect> I just got ubuntu and the graphics look really bad including resolution. My graphics card is a Radeon card, any suggestions?
[05:40] <lsv> how can I change the driver for my wireless card?
[05:40] <hashitish> somsip: well im trying to figure it out, looks like it relates to a setting in tortoisehq
[05:40] <somsip> hashitish: cool
[05:41] <Blade20> PlayerDisconnect, you need to install the drivers for it... under system admin... additional drivers
[05:41] <cliffton> hi, are there any good mmorpg games for ubuntu?

[05:43] <lortech> what loads the rcx.d files on bootup?
[05:43] <PlayerDisconnect> Blade20: System > Administration > I don't have any "additional drivers"
[05:43] <abatoo> pretty sure WoW runs in wine.
[05:43] <hashitish> somsip: setting in mecurial rather ^^
[05:43] <Blade20> PlayerDisconnect, you have anything that says anything about drivers?
[05:43] <PlayerDisconnect> I have Hardware Drivers, but when I open that up it says there is nothing
[05:43] <w30> ghostnik11, your program is compiling against or with  the glib2 libraries so something is not right with your glib libraries, I can't say which to change but  the app must match the glib version
[05:44] <lortech> anyone know why my /etc/rc2.d/S20zoneminder  is not loading? what loads the rc files?
[05:44] <Blade20> PlayerDisconnect, what radeon card do you have?
[05:44] <PlayerDisconnect> "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system"
[05:44] <somsip> hashitish: you got it sorted?
[05:44] <hashitish> somsip: soon come
[05:44] <PlayerDisconnect> "	Radeon HD 6770M switchable graphics with 1024MB GDDR5 and up to 3813MB total graphics memory"
[05:45] <Blade20> PlayerDisconnect, that should be a supported card... have you done a update yet?
[05:45] <somsip> hashitish: if you get stuck building, this might help http://bash.org/?400459
[05:45] <PlayerDisconnect> When I first got ubuntu it updated a bunch of stuff.
[05:45] <PlayerDisconnect> I didn't pay attention to see if it updated my gfx, apparently not.
[05:45] <ghostnik11> w30: ah i see, thats why: the program i am trying to install is pcsx - a playstation 1 emulator and i think it uses the old glib2's as its not in ubuntu's software center or synaptic
[05:46] <ghostnik11> does anyone know of a playstation emulator that works on ubuntu 11.04
[05:47] <w30> ghostnik11, I would try to find a later version and be safer than messing with your libs
[05:47] <args[0]> can i access ftp with root account?
[05:48] <ghostnik11> w30: I went on there website and the last entry they wrote for there program was in 2002, i think i have to find a new program
[05:50] <PlayerDisconnect> Anyone have any ideas on how I can update my graphics in ubuntu?
[05:51] <hashitish> somsip: did u think i was joking when i said 4 hours
[05:53] <hashitish> somsip: yeah funnily nuff ive been learning python last few days
[05:55] <Blade20> hashitish, i lost a finger and now type with a lisp

[05:59] <hashitish> somsip: lol ?
[05:59] <somsip> hashitish: but in that response is....from official release http://svn.json-rpc.org/trunk...so does bitbuket just route through that, and fails because it's down?
[05:59] <somsip> hashitish: guessing here...
[06:00] <hashitish> somsip: why would it do that its got the information i need on it
[06:00]  * somsip shrugs
[06:00] <hashitish> k
[06:00] <somsip> somsip: without knowing inner workings of bitbucket and hg repos, I can't help

[06:16] <Blade20> need help with transmission torrent down loader... i do not have a place to put the block list url.... it should be just above enable blocklist... under the privacy tab
[06:16] <Tbruff13> yagoo, i found the command and this is the video card Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[06:17] <yagoo> anygivenname, also i'm not sure what this 'state INVALID' does in this line (DROP       all  --  anywhere             anywhere            state INVALID )
[06:18] <dnivra> hello. i just ran the command "cat file | head -n 1 | xargs vim" and once I close the file, I can no longer see what I type but it does get displayed as I type. how can I make it appear?
[06:18] <yagoo> Tbruff13, yikes.. unfortunately that card isn't very well supported at least according to this "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Controller_Hub" .. perhaps there's bleeding edge code from intel.com if you're lucky..
[06:19] <dnivra> there is some terminal property that gets changed or something IIRC but can't recall what it is. it'd be great if someone could tell me which one and how to unset it?
[06:19] <anygivenname> yagoo:I have now tested adding a rule in Firestarter to open port 22 for any connection & accordingly I was able to connect to it.....but this is ofcourse a test not a solution
[06:19] <ogadum> in ubuntu is it possible to create two raw sockets each reading from the same multicast address? Or does only one (at a time) of the socket get the data and the other starve?
[06:19] <PlayerDisconnect> Does anyone know how to fix the wireless button flashing lights problem on HP ubuntu?
[06:20] <Tbruff13> yagoo, can you please help me get it out of low graphics mode please
[06:20] <yagoo> Tbruff13, impossible.
[06:20] <Tbruff13> please don't leave me hanging
[06:20] <yagoo> Tbruff13, there's no support for it.
[06:21] <yagoo> there's no driver code for it.
[06:21] <PlayerDisconnect> tbruff i'm in the same situation as you, except I have a radeon
[06:21] <PlayerDisconnect> even after installing drivers its still in low res , lool
[06:21] <Tbruff13> help me find some please i am so frustrated
[06:22] <Blade20> Tbruff13, what video card are you running?
[06:22] <Tbruff13> Blade28, Intel Corporation System Controller Hub (SCH Poulsbo) Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[06:22] <Tbruff13> i need help badly
[06:23] <yagoo> Polsbo no support--> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Controller_Hub
[06:23] <Tbruff13> im not a noob but i need a driver i dont care about the openness of the code
[06:23] <Blade20> sorry Tbruff13 i dont know much about intell
[06:23] <lion42_> Tbruff13: what version of ubuntu are you on?
[06:24] <GirlyGirl> Tbruff13: Should work out of the box on 11.04
[06:24] <yagoo> GirlyGirl, it works. but it's not accelerated graphics.
[06:24] <anygivenname> yagoo:I have now tested adding a rule in Firestarter to open port 22 for any connection & accordingly I was able to connect to it.....but this is ofcourse a test not a solution
[06:25] <yagoo> acceleration driver does not exist or even if it does work there are many problems with it. (wikipedia page says)
[06:25] <yagoo> "A rudimentary (no 3D acceleration) driver was added to Linux 2.6.39[11][12]."
[06:25] <yagoo> ^ as i said.. you have to try it..
[06:26] <yagoo> ( dunno if GirlyGirl is using acceleration if so.. then that's good news.. )
[06:27] <yagoo>  2.6.39 << bleeding edge fyi..
[06:28] <Tbruff13> GirlyGirl i am using 10.04
[06:28] <ylmf> 厄，这个怎么用
[06:29] <kcm1700> what?
[06:29] <wildbat> !cn | ylmf
[06:29] <kcm1700> wow.
[06:29] <magpii> i keep getting this everytime i try update> http://codepad.org/SmnNKC78
[06:30] <codemagician> anyone know how to get DLINK 525  N150 wireless card working with 11.04 Natty?
[06:30] <yagoo> Tbruff13, there's a ppa for it.. but it's risky.. (add-apt-repository ppa:gma500/emgd) (sudo apt-get install xorg-emgd emgd-dkms emgd-xorg-conf)
[06:30] <yagoo> Tbruff13, i got those commands from a french ubuntu wiki
[06:30] <Tbruff13> yagoo, thanks ill try it
[06:30] <yagoo> Tbruff13, as i said it's bleeding edge.. it can do anything like randomly freeze ur system or something..
[06:31] <Blade20> yagoo, pps is for 11.4 i thought
[06:31] <yagoo> Tbruff13, (remember i said its risky)
[06:31] <haikaido> is it possible to get the cool aero window snap feature from ubuntu 11.04 on ubuntu 10.10?
[06:31] <yagoo> oh it is?
[06:31] <haikaido> thats the only thing im missing now :D
[06:31] <Blade20> yagoo, i'm not sure but i think so
[06:31] <Tbruff13> yagoo, if i upgrade to 11.04 will it fix it
[06:31] <yagoo> Tbruff13, site source is http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/poulsbo
[06:32] <Blade20> haikaido, you should be able to get the windows snap in compiz
[06:32] <Lasers> haikaido: You're on laptop?
[06:32] <haikaido> nope
[06:32] <haikaido> desktop
[06:32] <lahwran> http://i.imgur.com/ZWX5Y.jpg < this is part of the output of smartctl -a. is my hdd done for?
[06:32] <anygivenname> how do I flush my iptables rules ?
[06:32] <haikaido> i have fully working accelerated graphics and working compiz
[06:32] <Lizard_> ubuntu 10.10 getting freez when flash player open
[06:32] <haikaido> i just dont know how to get the aero snap thing working in 10.10
[06:32] <Lasers> haikaido: Install compiz extra plugin. Enable GRID in Compiz.
[06:32] <rww> Tbruff13: it may make it less horrible, but my understanding is that support for Poulsbo is not good in general thanks entirely to Poulsbo's creators.
[06:33] <ParadigmUltra> Has anyone tried wireless USB headphones in Ubuntu?  If so which ones worked?
[06:33] <haikaido> Lasers
[06:33] <magpii> i cannot access the update manager rep list, or the synaptic package manager. i keep getting this error http://codepad.org/SmnNKC78
[06:33] <haikaido> tried it
[06:33] <haikaido> thats not the same thing
[06:33] <haikaido> thats for key combinations
[06:33] <yagoo> Tbruff13, if u're trying it.. also there's (emgd-xorg-conf) command to fire up..
[06:33] <haikaido> i already have grid
[06:33] <Lasers> haikaido: Use numbpad. Yeah.
[06:33] <haikaido> and the compiz extras
[06:33] <haikaido> lasers thats not what im lookin for
[06:33] <Lasers> haikaido: Use numbpad to set windows on left (or right side).
[06:33] <haikaido> in 11.04
[06:33] <Tbruff13> yagoo, this is dual boot with windows so i am safe just tell me what might work
[06:33] <haikaido> theres the actual aero snap
[06:33] <haikaido> in 11.04
[06:33] <yagoo> Tbruff13, it's getting more support as of 2.6.39.. so hope is not lost if you don't have it working yet..
[06:34] <haikaido> and even in linux mint
[06:34] <FloodBot1> haikaido: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:34] <haikaido> oh lord lol
[06:34] <Lasers> haikaido: Use 11.04 or 10.04? No reason to stay on 10.10. :)
[06:34] <yagoo> Tbruff13, well most u can do is uninstall the driver.. and go back to slow graphics.. nothing seriously will get damaged...
[06:34] <haikaido> i dont want to upgrade to 11.04
[06:34] <haikaido> i dont like it
[06:35] <Tbruff13> yagoo, if i upgrade to 11.04 will that help
[06:35]  * rww already answered that
[06:35] <yagoo> Tbruff13, but if u decide to try a bleeding edge kernel then you have to make sure grub boots it up and everything else works too afterwards (like sound etc)
[06:35] <haikaido> nothing worked for me in 11.04. plus i have my linux setup perfect now. i just cant figure out how to get that aero snap thing working
[06:35] <Blade20> Tbruff13, best bet would be to get the live cd and try it out
[06:35] <codemagician> can anyone recommend a wireless network card that runs out the box for Natty 11.04 ?
[06:35] <yagoo> Tbruff13, well i thought u were on 11.04.. so that site mentions 11.04..
[06:36] <dnivra> !hcl | codemagician
[06:36] <codemagician> I have a DLINK DWA-525 and it will NOT work
[06:36] <magpii> can anyone help with this please. http://paste.ubuntu.com/657691/
[06:36] <yagoo> Tbruff13, u can try upgrading to 11.04.. then afterwards add the ppa for the driver..
[06:36] <dnivra> codemagician: that might help :)
[06:36] <yagoo> Tbruff13, see if everything works before trying the ppa
[06:36] <yagoo> (fyi)
[06:36] <yagoo> !ppa
[06:37] <codemagician> dnivra, thanks
[06:37] <codemagician> dnivra, I followed this article written for 10.10 http://steveswinsburg.wordpress.com/2011/03/12/how-to-install-a-d-link-dwa-525-wireless-network-card-in-ubuntu-10-04/
[06:37] <Tbruff13> i added the ppa but i did not upgrade yet
[06:37] <Tbruff13> hey when i run sudo apt-get install xorg-emgd emgd-dkms emgd-xorg-conf
[06:37] <Tbruff13> i get
[06:38] <Tbruff13> E: Couldn't find package xorg-emgd
[06:38] <yagoo> " Tbruff13, well i thought u were on 11.04.. so that site mentions 11.04.. "
[06:38] <yagoo> ^.
[06:38] <yagoo> upgrade then try the ppa
[06:38] <Tbruff13> ok
[06:39] <Tbruff13> yagoo, when i upgrade do i go into the unity or classic gnome
[06:39] <yagoo> !upgrade
[06:40] <lsv> anyone with experience dealing with old wireless cards?
[06:41] <Tbruff13> im just going to swich over to windows and re do wubi
[06:42]  * yagoo would of also told TBruff13.. using wubi also has performance impact
[06:42] <yagoo> lol
[06:42] <yagoo> geez he was crying about performance.. wubi is not the ideal performance setup
[06:42] <haikaido> so does anyone know how to enable that aero snap feature from Ubuntu 11.04 in ubuntu 10.10? Im thinking it must be a compiz feature but im not sure
[06:43] <rww> yagoo: the horrible graphics chipset would have much more of an effect ;(
[06:43] <rww> poulsbo is just bad :(
[06:43] <somsip> haikaido: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1626255
[06:43] <haikaido> somsip
[06:44] <haikaido> thats not the same thing that in 11.04
[06:44] <haikaido> thats a hacky "area detection" workaround
[06:44] <kernelpanic22> hello
[06:44] <somsip> haikaido: ok. i leave you to find a more suitable solution
[06:44] <haikaido> haha thanks for trying tho
[06:44] <haikaido> :D
[06:44] <haikaido> ive been looking for a day or two
[06:44] <haikaido> i just cant figure it out
[06:44] <haikaido> all i see is the same thing (the link you posted)
[06:45] <haikaido> but 11.04 uses a completely different method
[06:45] <ParkerR> Built into Gnome 3
[06:46] <Lasers> haikaido: I like Grid. It worked great for me. I guess I relies on it heavily. :)
[06:46] <rww> 11.04 doesn't use GNOME 3, so that's not really relevant :P
[06:46] <haikaido> lol
[06:46] <haikaido> Lasers
[06:46] <ParkerR> Umm it does
[06:46] <haikaido> grid is handy
[06:46] <haikaido> but im looking to just be able to drag the window over to the area
[06:46] <ParkerR> 11.* uses gnome 3 iirc
[06:46] <haikaido> and have it resize
[06:46] <Lasers> haikaido: It's great for desktops -- Laptops not so much.
[06:46] <magpii> can someone help with this please> http://paste.ubuntu.com/657700/
[06:46] <lsv> could anyone help me with my freaking old wireless card please?
[06:47] <Lasers> haikaido: You might want to ask in compiz channel. Otherwise, adapt (as you have done).
[06:47] <haikaido> ahhh theres a compiz channel here?
[06:47] <rww> ParkerR: 11.04 uses GNOME 2.something. 11.10 will use GNOME 3.
[06:47] <haikaido> im gonna check that out
[06:48] <kernelpanic22> I have a question: In 11.04, when I run update manager, my computer goes into kernel panic
[06:48] <codemagician> Anyone know why after installing Ubuntu 11.04   2.6.38-10-generic-pae  the linux src headers are missing from the /usr/src/linux-headers directory?
[06:49] <ParkerR> Yeah the aero snap is a part gnome 3. So the snap in 11.04 is provides by gnome 3. Same thing in fedora 15. Uses gnome 3 and has the snap
[06:49] <ParkerR> *provided
[06:49] <haikaido> but i thought 11.04 doesnt use Gnome 3
[06:49] <haikaido> ?
[06:50] <kernelpanic22> ParkerR: I have a question: In 11.04, when I run update manager, my computer goes into kernel panic
[06:50] <ParkerR> I REALLY thout
[06:50] <Blackoakx22> Can anyone help me with installing ubuntu to a partion I have?
[06:50] <magpii> can someone explain this error to me please http://paste.ubuntu.com/657701/
[06:50] <ParkerR> gt it did. google says otherwise
[06:50] <ParkerR> Hmm
[06:50] <haikaido> yeah theres a thousand
[06:50] <rww> ParkerR: There is no GNOME 3 in 11.04. Snap in 11.04 is provided by Compiz, which is not part of GNOME>
[06:50] <haikaido> "how to install gnome 3 in 11.04"
[06:51] <somsip> codemagician: looks like headers are not installed as a dependency. just install separately?
[06:51] <rww> It's also provided by Compiz by default 11.10 actually, but whatever
[06:51] <rww> s/default/default in/
[06:51] <ParkerR> Oh ok. I could have sworn I read that it was using 3. My bad
[06:51] <haikaido> rww any idea how to get it to work in 10.10 rww?
[06:51] <haikaido> woops
[06:51] <rww> haikaido: I'd install ccsm and see if there's a Snap plugin for it. I don't know if there is.
[06:51] <codemagician> somsip, i found them in the synaptic package manager so just installing them now
[06:51] <haikaido> said your nick twice
[06:51] <haikaido> my bad

[06:57] <slide> Does anyone know how to get rid of the Ubuntu one header thats appearing on all my folders? its REALLY annoying
[06:57] <caferius> thanks
[06:57] <slide> in nautilus
[06:58] <yagoo> slide, ?
[06:58] <Blackoakx22> Can someone help me install ubuntu 11.04 so I can dual boot and not have to use wibi?
[06:58] <slide> yagoo, for instance in my Downloads folder, there is an Ubuntu One kinda orange bar on the top that says "Operations on this folder are disabled because there is no network connection" and a disabled Synchronize this folder
[06:58] <slide> but no way to get rid of it
[06:58] <yagoo> Blackoakx22, wubi?
[06:59] <yagoo> !wubi
[07:00] <somsip> Blackoakx22: what is the issue?
[07:01] <yagoo> Blackoakx22, i believe easybcd has an option to add wubi to the windows boot menu
[07:01] <slide> yagoo, i logged into ubuntu one, and now it says "The files are not backed up and will not be available in your other computers" but i DONT want them to be synced
[07:01] <somsip> yagoo: he wants not to use wubi
[07:01] <Blackoakx22> Well I used wibi but I dont want it installed inside windows I want to dualboot but it use the full 70 gigs of space. somsip
[07:02] <lion42_> Blackoakx22: it should work now.
[07:02] <yagoo> Blackoakx22, then redownload the non-wubi iso
[07:02] <yagoo> or should i say downlaod the new iso that's not wubi
[07:02] <somsip> Blackoakx22: just run the install CD, choose the second partiion as / format it and good to go.
[07:02] <yagoo> somsip, from the wubi installer?
[07:02] <somsip> yagoo: No - Live CD innit
[07:02] <yagoo> somsip, you use wubi?
[07:03] <somsip> yagoo: no
[07:03] <Blackoakx22> somsip: me and lion42_ were doing that but it said something about swap space.
[07:03] <yagoo> somsip, he's talking about using wubi to setup on native hardware..
[07:03] <yagoo> i don't think wubi allows that by default..
[07:03] <somsip> Blackoakx22: then it's maybe polie ot conitnue with lion42_ for now. Sorry for butting in
[07:03] <Blackoakx22> yagoo: I DONT want to use wining
[07:03] <somsip> ...polite...
[07:03] <Blackoakx22> Wubi
[07:03] <yagoo> Blackoakx22, nobody here does..
[07:03] <yagoo> Blackoakx22, just download the "non" wubi iso for your platform..
[07:04] <lion42_> yagoo: he's using the regular installer. I got him to delete the second partition and then return the space to his windows partition, and now am telling him to use ubuntu's automated installer to create the new partition.
[07:04] <somsip> lion42_: sounds sound
[07:04] <yagoo> lion42_, you mean Blackoakx22 ?
[07:04] <lion42_> yes.
[07:04] <anygivenname> what's the cmd line for logwatch to send the log report ?
[07:04] <yagoo> why is he bringing up this "wubi"? maybe he's trying to get rid of his wubi boot menu entry..
[07:04] <lion42_> We were having trouble installing it to the already-existant second partition, largely because I'm a noob, so I figured this would be easier.
[07:05] <lion42_> yagoo: he HAD wubi. now he just has regular windows and is trying to install regular ubuntu.
[07:05] <lion42_> (along windows)
[07:05]  * yagoo says to do chkdsk under windows.. then use the ubuntu installer to resize ntfs
