[17:06] <ooio> pragmaticenigma <-- sorry i didn't want the plural but the genitiv. like ,,if this house belongs to peter, it's peter's house''
[17:06] <pragmaticenigma> ooio: Library's
[17:07] <ooio> pragmaticenigma, thanks
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> Zeratul2k: have you logged a bug with ACPI?
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> Luca: then its 8.04  not 8.x
[17:07] <Luca> so
[17:07] <Reactor_> how in terminal choose windows disk's directory? cd ???
[17:07] <pragmaticenigma> Zeratul2k: does it dim randomly? or just start off dim?
[17:07] <Luca> LWP::UserAgent version 5.827 required--this is only version 2.036 at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/WWW/Mechanize.pm line 106.
[17:07] <Luca> how update?
[17:07] <ubox> can someone help me change screen resolution in ubunut?
[17:08] <Zeratul2k> ActionParsnip: No, where should I go for that?
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> Zeratul2k: run:  ubuntu-bug acpi    and you will start the process
[17:08] <Zeratul2k> pragmaticenigma, it dims randomly, even when i'm working, and won't restore brightness unless I restart the computer since the brightness keys aren't working
[17:08] <dario_> hello bello
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> ubox: what video chip?
[17:08] <ubox> nvidia
[17:08] <pragmaticenigma> Zeratul2k: what is the graphics chipset in your machine?
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> ubox: ok which chip, they make MANY?

[17:09] <Zeratul2k> ActionParsnip, got it, but will hold on that, see if i can solve it first :s
[17:09] <ubox> geforce 7100
[17:09] <shubbar> Only 6.7MB/s transfer rate on gigabit! It should be better.
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | luca
[17:09] <Zeratul2k> pragmaticenigma, it's an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series
[17:09] <ActionParsnip> ubox: have you installed the proprietary driver?
[17:09] <shubbar> where is the bottle neck?
[17:10] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, hi again.. i just killed my raid5 ;))
[17:10] <ActionParsnip> shubbar: where are you transferring from - to ?
[17:10] <pragmaticenigma> Zeratul2k: do you have the ATI propriatary drivers installed?
[17:11] <Zeratul2k> pragmaticenigma, yes, i do have them installed
[17:11] <shubbar> ActionParsnip, home network, to file share on ubuntu server from my pc, both have gigabit through a switch
[17:11] <player> alles goed
[17:11] <player> ja hoor
[17:11] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: killed it? is that bad?
[17:12] <player> hey hallo alles goed met jou
[17:12] <Zeratul2k> pragmaticenigma, I tried changing the gamma and other options there, but it changes the image, not the screen brightness
[17:12] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, yes because i probably lost 4TB of data
[17:12] <mko101> et bonjour les neuneus !!!
[17:12] <shubbar> ActionParsnip, i checked the speed by ethtool , and from LEDs of the switch
[17:12] <pragmaticenigma> I think I may have found a place with a solution for you http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1465723.html
[17:12] <robin0800> Zeratul2k, my laptop dims the screen before the screensaver times in even though its only going to blank the screen
[17:12] <pragmaticenigma> Zeratul2k: I think I may have found a place with a solution for you http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1465723.html
[17:12] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: should have tried virtualbox tests with simulated faults
[17:12] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, i opened gparted to format my new 2TB drive.. so i created a new partition table... unfortunately i created a new partition table on one of my 1Tb raid5 drives
[17:12] <shubbar> I'm baffled
[17:12] <ActionParsnip> shubbar: ok try uncommenting the socket options = TCP_NODELAY
[17:12] <Reactor_> how in terminal choose windows disk's directory? cd ???
[17:13] <Zeratul2k> robin0800, it's worse than that: i'm typing and it dims!
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> shubbar: in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[17:13] <Luca> how make this comand "rpm -Uvh" on ubuntu?
[17:13] <Zeratul2k> pragmaticenigma, will take a look at it, brb
[17:13] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, yes but i was tired out of time ;) anways this wouldnt have helped me because i didnt want to create a new partition table on my raid5 drive
[17:13] <AbhijiT> !rpm | Luca
[17:13] <ubox> ActionParsnip,  which proprietary driver?
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> Luca: that isn't a command in ubuntu. Ubuntu uses deb not rpm
[17:13] <AbhijiT> !alien
[17:13] <pragmaticenigma> Zeratul2k: you can also try "sudo echo 100 > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness"
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> !nvidia | ubox
[17:13] <AbhijiT> !apt | Luca
[17:13] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: well that won't kill a raid5 that's still fixable
[17:13] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, really? can you give me a hint how?
[17:13] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, can i pay you?
[17:14] <ubox> doesnt ubunut recognize the generic driver? is there a way to use generic video driver just to increase resolution
[17:14] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, if you help me fix this raid5 i donate you something
[17:14] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: raid5 is mirror right?  I'll have to check
[17:14] <LinuxNoob> i have a problem that has been annoying me for the past few days, maybe a week. videos crash, i get a weird "picture" in the middle of my screen that is about 40% transparent.  it is a rectangle about..1:4 the size of the screen and it shows like the last video i was watching on youtube. it also makes text sometimes unreadable because it makes the background in said box turn black as well. ...
[17:14] <LinuxNoob> ...what can i do?
[17:14] <Luca> AbhijiT: yes what mean "-uvh" in ubuntu
[17:14] <Luca> apt-uvh?
[17:14] <AbhijiT> no idea
[17:14] <pragmaticenigma> Luca, RPM packages are for RPM based distributions only... you will need to find the equivalent .deb package to install on Ubuntu
[17:14] <fpippo> Hello, anyone with wireless broadcom bcm4727 problems?
[17:14] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, raid5 has 1 spare drive .. so i can kill one drive and the raid still works
[17:15] <Zeratul2k> pragmaticenigma, don't have a VGA on /proc/acpi/video/, just a DGFX
[17:15] <pragmaticenigma> couldn't hurt to replave the VGA with DGFX
[17:15] <dario_> this is a hackers nest isnt it?
[17:15] <pragmaticenigma> dario_: No
[17:15] <LinuxNoob> no
[17:16] <LinuxNoob> this is if you need help with ubuntu
[17:16] <dario_> good
[17:16] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: this is what I am reading for raid5 "drive failure requires replacement, but the array is not destroyed by a single drive failure. "
[17:16] <dario_> cool
[17:16] <Zeratul2k> pragmaticenigma, yep, it works
[17:16] <jogu> Okay so I've mucked about in testdisk and rewrote the partition table and the ubuntu installer still doesnt recognize the OS installed on the hard drive(or any partitions for that matter)
[17:16] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, my raid5 is synced.. the raid5 works.. just the partition or the partition table is crashed
[17:16] <ubox> ActionParsnip,  InnoTek Systemberatung GmbH VirtualBox Graphics Adapter
[17:17] <Zeratul2k> pragmaticenigma, should create a custom launcher in the meantime, then?
[17:17] <ubox> I think the problem is because I am running in virtualbox
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> ubox: oh, so not nvidia at all
[17:17] <pragmaticenigma> probably couldn't hurt to make a shortcut of some sort
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> ubox: install the guest additions and it will be fine
[17:17] <ubox> I guess the virtualbox is not recognizing my card
[17:17] <shubbar> ActionParsnip, uncommented "socket options = TCP_NODELAY", restarted smbd and nmbd ... but still getting 6.8MB/s
[17:17] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: oh it's not the disk that failed you corupted the data in the raid partition,  you can't fix that
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> ubox: it is, the hardware in a virtual system is virtualized
[17:17] <sagapo> !list
[17:17] <wedwo-> Luca, Uvh is a mozilla package: http://www.cyberciti.biz/howto/question/linux/linux-rpm-cheat-sheet.php
[17:18] <pragmaticenigma> Zeratul2k: there is obviously a bug in the propriatry drivers supplied by ATI, hopefully they fix it at some point
[17:18] <tdiso> hi guys. so the current version of wireshark in 10.10 is 1.2.11 but even the old stable is 1.2.14. Is this version safe? I know there have been numerous security problems with this package. I'm migrating from gentoo where things are more updated.
[17:18] <ubox> ActionParsnip,  I will look at guest application online now
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> shubbar: I'd run:  lspci    and note the network chip, then websearch for guides based on that
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> ubox: in the powered on guest there is a menu across the top, it's in there. Better support will be in #vbox
[17:18] <jogu> Is anybody here that was helping me from before?
[17:18] <dario_> i need to know which windows partitioner should i use whic one is the easyest

[17:18] <Luca> how solve this error??
[17:18] <Zeratul2k> pragmaticenigma, yeah, looks like it. Going to see if I can file a bug report to them
[17:19] <ubox> I am installing the additions
[17:19] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, but i only corrupted one drive ;(
[17:19] <Zeratul2k> pragmaticenigma, thanks for all your help, this low brightness was killing my eyes!
[17:20] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, Disk Utility shows me that there still is an ext4 volume on my raid
[17:20] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: one drive?  what is the name of the partition you corupted?  /dev/???
[17:20] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, /dev/sda
[17:20] <pragmaticenigma> Zeratul2k: I sent you a couple PMs
[17:20] <gaelle> bonjour
[17:20] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: ok then your raid5 should be ok
[17:20] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, hopefully
[17:21] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: did you try the disk utility to test and fix it
[17:21] <night_owl> whats the line to the defult ubuntu repos? I'm trying to add them to my arch install
[17:21] <ikonia> night_owl: sorry, ask the guys in #archlinux
[17:21] <gaelle> i search french chat for help?
[17:21] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, i have clicked on the button "check array" of "Disk Utility"
[17:22] <[segfault]> !fr | gaelle
[17:22] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, then it started to resync my array which has been finished after 6 hours over night
[17:22] <gaelle> thanks :)
[17:22] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: ok and what came of that?
[17:23] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, ok the full story can be read here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10501116#post10501116
[17:23] <pw-toxic_> 1) i opened gparted and did "Device->create new partition table"
[17:23] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, 2) i closed gparted
[17:24] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, 3) i switched to my "Disk Utility" window and clicked on "check array".  Then resync started and it finished successfully over night
[17:24] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, 4) then I did "mount /dev/md0 /share/costello" which gave me the error you can see in the thread
[17:25] <karma_police> how hard is it to install ubuntu on an apple i book?
[17:25] <dario_> does anyone know what is sasser.exe?
[17:26] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: did you try mount with disk utility?
[17:26] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, yes - same error
[17:26] <BluesKaj> jogu, live cd ?
[17:26] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, no! no i get the following error: "Daemon is inhibited"
[17:26] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, I do reboot my fileserver ok?
[17:26] <ActionParsnip> dario_: a windows virus
[17:26] <[segfault]> dario_: malware, more than likely
[17:26] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: well what is in md0?  maybe it's an lvm?
[17:27] <wedwo-> karma_police, 8/10
[17:27] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, no md0 is a normal drive i have created with mdadm
[17:27] <pragmaticenigma> dario_: that is malware or more likely the sasser worm (which can only infect windows machines that have not been updated properly.)
[17:27] <dario_> thx
[17:27] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, i followed this tutorial (german) : http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Software-RAID
[17:27] <LinuxNoob> i have a problem that has been annoying me for the past few days, maybe a week. videos crash, i get a weird "picture" in the middle of my screen that is about 40% transparent.  it is a rectangle about..1:4 the size of the screen and it shows like the last video i was watching on youtube. it also makes text sometimes unreadable because it makes the background in said box turn black as well. ...
[17:27] <jogu> "WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sda'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted." would this be why the ubuntu installer thinks my whole hard drive is unallocated?
[17:27] <LinuxNoob> ...what can i do?
[17:27] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: a normal drive can still have an lvm in it
[17:28] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, i dont think i have used LVM
[17:28] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: well I think lvm is part of what raid is all about
[17:28] <shubbar> ActionParsnip, this look like a solution for slow speeds of gigabit, same chip Realtek, but its confusing me http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1632674

[17:29] <x_link> I really need some help, I can't use Firefox when I have upgraded to 3.6 on my Hardy-machine.
[17:29] <karma_police> i have a ibook that i would like to install ubuntu on.. is there anything special i need to do inorder to accomplish this?
[17:29] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: but I think that should be visable what format is in /dev/md0 in the disk utility
[17:29] <x_link> Could somebody please help me with that?
[17:29] <pw-toxic_> ok
[17:29] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, but i could also send you fdisk -l and mdadm --detail /dev/md0 if you like
[17:30] <BluesKaj> jogu, http://www.virtualvcp.com/linux-technical-guides/125-clearing-a-guid-partition-table-gpt-in-linux
[17:30] <pragmaticenigma> dario_: Yes, Ubuntu comes with a limit firewall enabled by default... it will allow anything you do on your machine to communicate on the web when needed, but people on the web are not able to communicate with your computer
[17:30] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: fdisk won't support lvm
[17:30] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, but i have created this raid with fdisk
[17:30] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, i have used mkfs.ext4 to create that partition
[17:30] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: no you used mdadm
[17:30] <pragmaticenigma> dario_: You still need to be smart about what you do on the web and make sure you don't share passwords or use public wifi to do your banking
[17:31] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, i have used mdadm to create the raid and then mkfs.ext4 to create a partition on it
[17:31] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/md0  like shown in the tutorial i linked you
[17:31] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_:   mkfs.ext4 is not fdisk that's the format of the file system
[17:31] <wedwo-> karma_police, http://cdimage.ubuntu.http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/10.04/release/com/ports/releases/10.04/release/

[17:32] <wedwo-> karma_police, you need the ppc CD and some might google-foo
[17:32] <wedwo-> *mighty
[17:32] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: ok so try fsk then on it and if fails try another superblock number
[17:32] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, what exactly should i type on my cmd line?
[17:32] <Gr8Q> stefg i have tried everything nothing worked. how can i fake update-manager to point to my current mounted update-manager so it could retrieve latest updates?
[17:32] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, i dont want to do any more fails
[17:34] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: ok it's not mounted so sudo fsck /dev/md0
[17:34] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: if that fails then It should give you alternate superblock numbers
[17:35] <tim167> how do i install "quicktime 7 or later" ?
[17:35] <pragmaticenigma> tim167: there is not quicktime program for ubuntu
[17:35] <d-1337> reading this off of your forehead!!!    ROFL
[17:35] <xrdodrx> ubuntu-restricted-extras and vlc should do it, tim167
[17:35] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: if it says somthing like can't find file system type then you should see what type it is now seen as in disk utility
[17:36] <xrdodrx> or smplayer
[17:36] <pragmaticenigma> tim167: Install VLC through the software package manager, it will allow you to play Quicktime files
[17:36] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, fsck.ext4: Group descriptors look bad... trying backup blocks... /dev/md0: recovering journal            fsck.ext4. unable to set superblock flags on /dev/md0

[17:40] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, so my data is lost?
[17:40] <xrdodrx> tim167, can you open a terminal and run "file nameofyourmovie"?
[17:40] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: you could be in that state if you try that and it fails then I'm not sure there is a solution
[17:40] <yuskhanzab> how to ping google?
[17:40] <pragmaticenigma> tim167: you will have to exit out of all VLC related programs before it will find the new drivers you just installed
[17:40] <xrdodrx> yuskhanzab, open a terminal and type "ping google.com" :)
[17:41] <tim167> xrdodrx: it's for capturing via webcam...

[17:43] <pw-toxic_> right?
[17:43] <Hodr> hey guys, I setup a sever with ISPConfig, setup 2 sites on it, How do I point by browser to one or the other, when I type in the IP it only points to the first site.
[17:43] <carsten> thanks bazhang
[17:43] <xangua> you'll get more stable software with lts, but you get new with... the newes distro; it's up to you daniel__
[17:43] <pragmaticenigma> daniel__: Both are considered stable, 10.04 will be supported longer than 10.10 will be (10.10 will no longer be supported when 11.04 is released in april)
[17:43] <yuskhanzab> so whats going on?
[17:44] <yuskhanzab> i cant use any of my web browser
[17:44] <AndroidKris> how do I remove the top and bottom panels in 3d window animation in compiz?
[17:44] <geoffmcc> yuskhanzab: best guess. there is a proxy setting getting in your way - but then again it wouldnt be the same for all and i think u said tried a few different browsers
[17:45] <pragmaticenigma> yuskhanzab: try typing in "wget www.google.com" in the command line
[17:45] <xrdodrx> tim167, I really don't get what you mean. you have no video filE?
[17:45] <geoffmcc> pragmaticenigma: he allready ping google with success
[17:45] <tim167> xrdodrx: no, no video file, just camera input
[17:46] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: sounds good to me
[17:46] <pragmaticenigma> I'm trying to see if port 80 is somehow blocked
[17:46] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, it finished - ill let you know the result soon
[17:46] <xrdodrx> tim167, so like there's a camera hooked up to your computer? :o
[17:46] <pragmaticenigma> ping uses a different port than web browsers
[17:46] <tim167> xrdodrx: yes, a webcam
[17:46] <geoffmcc> pragmaticenigma: good call - didnt think of that
[17:46] <xrdodrx> tim167, why not use cheese?
[17:46] <xrdodrx> !cheese
[17:47] <geoffmcc> yuskhanzab: wget google.com as pragmaticenigma suggested to see if port 80 is blocked
[17:47] <tim167> xrdodrx: cheese works, but i need camera input in processing
[17:47] <abhay_> anyone know how to partion a 2 TB HDD and have one ex4 and one ntfs
[17:47] <Hodr> hey guys, I setup a sever with ISPConfig, setup 2 sites on it (www.test1.com, www.test2.com), How do I point by browser to one or the other, when I type in the IP it only points to the first site.
[17:47] <bazhang> abhay_, with gparted live cd
[17:47] <yuskhanzab> Connecting to www.google.com|<IP_ADDRESS>|:80...
[17:48] <yuskhanzab> stuck there
[17:48] <mindfire> Ok sorry to repost: Im a complete newbie so any help would be brilliant, i am trying to set up a user account for my Wife on this machine (unbunto 10.10) all of her music etc is stored on a 2nd internal HDD but no matter what i set her permissions to i cannot seem to give her access to the 2nd HDD, i can give her the CDROM etc but Ideally i would like to restrict access to a specified folder on the HDD or the whole HDD
[17:48] <mindfire>  itself... how do i do this?
[17:48] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, it says the same: "e2fsck: unable to set superblock flags on /dev/md0"
[17:48] <geoffmcc> yuskhanzab: from command do sudo ufw status
[17:48] <pragmaticenigma> yuskhanzab: Have you installed any firewall programs or reconfigured a network router?
[17:49] <Josef_B> hi all .. i have a dell studio i think its a 17inch .. and i want to not dual boot windows on it anymore .. my problem is that it won't play hdmi out .. can anyone confirm that ubuntu can play hdmi out ?
[17:49] <yuskhanzab> geoffmcc, status in active
[17:49] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: well you could try as many as three other superblock numbers but if that fails I would say it must be hosed
[17:49] <abhay_> bazhang, where can i find the gparted live cd?
[17:50] <pragmaticenigma> yuskhanzab: are you sharing your internet connection with a roommate?
[17:50] <IdleOne> !gparted
[17:50] <bazhang> abhay_, distrowatch.com
[17:50] <juandejo> Ubuntu 10.04 sólo se cierra a través de consola
[17:50] <IdleOne> !es | juandejo
[17:50] <geoffmcc> Hodr check /etc/apache2/sites-availible and check vhost settings
[17:50] <pw-toxic_> what does hosed mean?
[17:50] <Hodr> ok
[17:51] <xforceman> hello
[17:51] <yuskhanzab> pragmaticenigma, ya im using wireless network
[17:51] <xforceman> im newbie
[17:51] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: I guess we should try a virtualbox raid5 and break it by reformating one of the three disks and see if it can be recovered
[17:51] <xforceman> for ubuntu
[17:51] <geoffmcc> Hodr: each domain should have its own vhost file and within file at top you would define www.site.com
[17:51] <xforceman> anybody help me
[17:51] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: just for my future references
[17:51] <pragmaticenigma> yuskhanzab: are you connected to your own wifi access point or are you trying to borrow someones?
[17:51] <s5s> Hey guys can you give me the line for adding the CD to the sources.list? I can't find it anywhere. I need the text line not how to do it via the GUI
[17:52] <phoenixsampras> Hello, I'm sick of typing password all the time i need to install a package or use su, how to remove it forever?
[17:52] <yuskhanzab> im already connected to my own internet connection
[17:52] <bazhang> s5s, the live cd or the alternate cd
[17:52] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, i tried it.. always the same error
[17:52] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, so now do you have any more ideas?
[17:52] <geoffmcc> Hodr use this as a reference -  http://articles.slicehost.com/2008/4/29/ubuntu-hardy-apache-virtual-hosts-1
[17:52] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: I bless it as being hosed then
[17:52] <NewToUbuntu> hi there
[17:52] <pragmaticenigma> phoenixsampras: you need to edit your sudo file to allow you not to have to enter a password when install (this will only work for command line operations.)
[17:52] <majorastro> What new guys
[17:52] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, what does hosed mean?
[17:52] <s5s> bazhang: the LiveCD.
[17:53] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: I guess it's time to reformat the /dev/md0
[17:53] <bazhang> s5s, only the alternate does that
[17:53] <IdleOne> pw-toxic_: hosed means broken in this context
[17:53] <majorastro> What
[17:53] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: hosed=totaly broken
[17:53] <AndroidKris> Isn't flash included with google chrome?
[17:53] <s5s> bazhang: OK give me this one I think I have the alternative as well
[17:53] <pw-toxic_> aösldguq398gthqerg
[17:53] <pw-toxic_> i hate my life
[17:53] <pragmaticenigma> yuskhanzab: Did you recently update firmware for your accesspoint/router?
[17:54] <NewToUbuntu> can someone please help me, I need to know how to redirect the command sequence cat Test* to not display on the terminal, without create a new file
[17:54] <geoffmcc> AndroidKris: i believe it is - but its their own version of it
[17:54] <Mrokii> How can I filter the dmesg-output for lines that contain segfaults?
[17:54] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_:  we learn from our mistakes or in this case I learned from your mistakes which is much better
[17:54] <ruiserra> Anyone ever work with Linaro??
[17:54] <mindfire> Apart from Ubuntu Forum or here where else can i go to find out how to do what i need to do with the additional user account on my system? obviously i would like to learn for myself but im a total newbie to linux... cant even get my head around using terminal yet!! and dont know any commands other than sudo su!!
[17:54] <pragmaticenigma> NewToUbuntu: I don't understand what you are asking
[17:54] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson,  ;((((
[17:54] <AndroidKris> well youtube wont work through chrome on my freshly installed ubuntu...so how would I go about getting flash?
[17:54] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, i wanna shoot myself
[17:55] <bazhang> !manual | mindfire please have a read
[17:55] <geoffmcc> AndroidKris: 32 or 64 bit?
[17:55] <AndroidKris> 64
[17:55] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: you have triple redundant backup you couldn't have lost too much
[17:55] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, im not a millionaire ;)
[17:56] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: well that's what you told me before you had it all backed up
[17:56] <jogu> To anybody that was trying to get ubuntu installed earlier, I gathered some information and screen shots and created a thread on the forum if you'd like to look at it. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10501442#post10501442
[17:56] <AndroidKris> ubuntu 10.04 also geoffmcc
[17:56] <phoenixsampras> pragmaticenigma: what about ubuntu software center
[17:56] <jogu> tying to help me ge*
[17:56] <AndroidKris> if that's any use
[17:56] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, the important data auf raid1 I may not loose
[17:56] <ActionParsnip> AndroidKris: can you use http://pastie.org to give the output of:  uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep gnash      Thanks
[17:56] <mindfire> im actually on 10.10 the manual project states it is for 10.04 will this make any difference when attenpting to work with user accounts and access permissions?
[17:56] <pragmaticenigma> phoenixsampras: that uses a different program to execute as sudo, and I haven't figured that one out yet
[17:56] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, i saved the raid1 data, not my massive raid5 data i cannot backup, because its too much data
[17:56] <NewToUbuntu> prgamaticenigma: "redirect the output of the command sequence "car=t Test*" to not display in the terminal"
[17:56] <geoffmcc> AndroidKris: you can get flash on 64bit but last i knew it was a security risk
[17:56] <bazhang> mindfire, help.ubuntu.com and the ubuntu wiki as well
[17:57] <AndroidKris> how do I get youtube to work then?
[17:57] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: ok well what kind of data is it like realtime radar reflection data?
[17:57] <pragmaticenigma> NewToUbuntu: you want it to output to a file?
[17:57] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, videos ;)
[17:57] <djcyrus> who is german
[17:57] <sacarlson> pw-toxic_: well you get bored of the ones you already seen now you can get all new ones

[17:58] <phoenixsampras> OMG i hate this Update Manager, it runs any time, without my permission, doing nasty stuff, how to disable it forever until i decide it to run and not to invade my privacy?
[17:58] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, well its like collecting postal stamps
[17:58] <geoffmcc> AndroidKris: you can try this - http://nxadm.wordpress.com/2009/04/26/install-64-bit-adobe-flash-player-on-ubuntu-904/
[17:58] <NewToUbuntu> I don't really understand, I'm trying to make some exercises from a book and I'm stuck in this question
[17:58] <[segfault]> NewToUbuntu: 'cat test* > /dev/null' will do this, but I don't figure that is what you are looking for, is it? 8/
[17:58] <xangua> phoenixsampras: software centre>edit>sources>updates
[17:58] <AndroidKris> thanks geoffmcc
[17:58] <skor> what part of the server guide documentation talks about how to switch between installed kernel versions ?
[17:58] <xangua> and it does not invade your privacy
[17:58] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, im really sad about it.. i havent lost them at all.. i have distributed most of the data to other persons
[17:59] <pragmaticenigma> phoenixsampras: In the ubuntu menu there should be an item for Startup Applications... just uncheck the box for the ubdate manager
[17:59] <pragmaticenigma> *update manager
[17:59] <phoenixsampras> oh thanks, let me try
[17:59] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, but there are also some more important data.. i had incremental backups ove the last 2 years of my important raid1 data, which could be important for me maybe if i require older versions
[17:59] <Hodr> geoffmcc, Can't figure out how to check apache, I'm just a noob using ISPConfig3
[17:59] <mindfire> thanks bazhang i will take a look, but i dont see anything specifically related to user accounts.. would you possibly be able to offer me some assistance?
[17:59] <pragmaticenigma> NewToUbuntu: What is the question in the book?
[17:59] <pw-toxic_> sacarlson, additionally all my games with their saved games are there
[17:59] <bazhang> !permissions | mindfire please have a look
[18:00] <geoffmcc> AndroidKris: http://www.myscienceisbetter.info/install-adobe-flash-player-square-on-linux.html  might be better
[18:00] <geoffmcc> Hodr: when you get in there do you see default and default-ssl or are there others
[18:00] <yanbing> how do I browse the network with Ubuntu Netbook edition?
[18:01] <yanbing> something so simple but yet so hard to figure out
[18:01] <pragmaticenigma> you should be able to browse the network with the file manager I think
[18:02] <yanbing> where is the file manager?
[18:02] <phoenixsampras> pragmaticenigma: how to mount a network share?
[18:02] <bazhang> yanbing, nautilus
[18:03] <AndroidKris> what if I just download it from software center?
[18:03] <yanbing> no nautilus, this is ubuntu netbook remix
[18:03] <geoffmcc> AndroidKris: if it in there. im not using a desktop edition right now and when i was there was no native 64bit flash player - there may be now
[18:04] <Hodr> geoffmcc, ok, I'll have to find some tutorials, I was really hoping there was just some easy path I could put in by browser for each site
[18:04] <geoffmcc> Hodr: i never used ispconfig - i did everything on my own and then added vhosts using link i gave u
[18:05] <geoffmcc> Hodr: reading about it now and it seems to handle vhosts differently
[18:05] <yanbing> should I just install nautilus then?
[18:05] <AndroidKris> it's there, but says it's for netscape or mozilla based browsers
[18:07] <yanbing> hello?
[18:07] <Hodr> hello
[18:08] <mOHawk> yanbing u can add a network in GUI? i've never used netbook edition
[18:09] <Linux> has anyone every used Backtrack 4
[18:09] <Linux> ?
[18:09] <xangua> !backtrack | Linux
[18:09] <geoffmcc> Linux: yes but thats off topic i believe
[18:10] <pragmaticenigma> phoenixsampras: depends if you are trying to access the share through the gui or command line
[18:10] <yanbing> mOHawk, : you haven't used ubuntu netbook edition obviously
[18:10] <Linux> or set up DNS server?
[18:11] <mOHawk> yanbing no never tried it
[18:12] <geoffmcc> Linux: there are many tuts available for setting up dns server. give one a shot and if you have troubles come back with a specific problem - more likly to get help
[18:12] <Anubis> I need advice on how to set up DHCP in Ubuntu...
[18:12] <geoffmcc> Linux: not saying that in a jerk way - but its hard when your speaking in generalities
[18:13] <Anubis> DHCP
[18:13] <bazhang> details Anubis
[18:13] <ThinkT510> !networking
[18:14] <ThinkT510> !dhcp | Anubis
[18:14] <Anubis> Well, I also have a problem with my DNS server.
[18:15] <Anubis> I'll start with the DNS server issue.
[18:15] <mOHawk> yanbing: i've tried the 64-bit version and had trouble with connecting wirelessly after a second install stuff came up that didn't show up before but still no connection so i manually turned off the wireless and turned it back on and it worked but like u said i've never tried netbook edition
[18:15] <cyrrius> i'm having difficulties with setting up video
[18:16] <mindfire> Ok i have tried the Ubuntu Documentation but it doesnt show me what i need; I have set up a 2nd user account and have made the account part of the Admin group... when i log on using this new account i cannot see any of the other hard drives in the system... how can i change this? and how would i then go about only giving specific access to certain folders on those drives and not the whole HDD's themselves?
[18:16] <Anubis> But I'm using my CPU as the DHCP server
[18:16] <abhay_> hey bazhang i downloaded the gparted but i am not able to shrink my 1.79 TB which has a ext4 format?
[18:17] <bazhang> abhay_, you booted from the livecd and unmounted the partition?
[18:18] <ThinkT510> !permissions | mindfire
[18:18] <abhay_> bazhang, no i downloaded it from ubuntu software center and installed. I also don't want to loose my data, could i also do it in the disk utility
[18:19] <ThinkT510> abhay_: you can't resize a partition while it is mounted
[18:19] <bazhang> abhay_, you cant do it on a working partition you realize
[18:19] <cyrrius> I am running maverick, installed the nvidia graphics driver, startx and works great. when I reboot, it takes me to the CLI and gives an error: Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module
[18:19] <cyrrius> any ideas?
[18:19] <Aikar> wwtf is point of crossoverlinux, looks like a rip off of WINE and makes you pay for it?
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> cyrrius: try: sudo apt-get --reinstall install dkms
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> Aikar: you also get tech support
[18:19] <xangua> abhay_: then do what bazhang told you, and is always good to make a copy of your data
[18:20] <cyrrius> ActionParsnip, running now
[18:20] <abhay_> what happens if i unmount it while i am on that drive
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> cyrrius: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/support_wine/
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> cyrrius: sorry, crossed wire
[18:21] <ActionParsnip> Aikar: http://www.codeweavers.com/products/support_wine/
[18:21] <aeon-ltd> Aikar: well you get professional support, but i agree its pretty terrible(having used the mac version) and personally i think you get things resolved faster in #wine, bug reports and forums than paying for it
[18:21] <ThinkT510> abhay_: you need to boot from a livecd or another linux install to resize that partition
[18:21] <anvo> How can I make skype to have not only pulse but alsa or oss, too?
[18:21] <Aikar> so why dont they just sell their product as "download wine, and pay us for support using wine"
[18:22] <cyrrius> ActionParsnip, no worries. I ran apt-get, now should I restart first or run startx again? running startx gives me the same error
[18:22] <abhay_> oh i see
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> cyrrius: yeah just give a reboot
[18:22] <aeon-ltd> Aikar: pointlessness? want de moniez?
[18:22] <cyrrius> ActionParsnip, cool, restarting now
[18:22] <bazhang> Aikar, thats offtopic for here
[18:22] <bazhang> Aikar, feel free to continue in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:22] <pragmaticenigma> Aikar: CrossoverLinux is a main contributor for WINE however they put together proprietary applications to allow Windows based programs to run better on Linux... A similar free progream is called PlayOn  linux
[18:23] <bazhang> which is in the repos
[18:23] <milamber> !clone
[18:23] <pragmaticenigma> Aikar: it's the same reason that RedHat doesn't give out their Distribution for free... you have to buy it (you can download similar clones like CentOS which contains all the free portions)
[18:23] <abhay_> ThinkT510, so i should first use the livecd and then resize the drive and install ubuntu on it?
[18:23] <LukeWatts> hi guys..
[18:24] <LukeWatts> i run 10.10 on a server, and i was wondering how the hell do i make my domain see my vps?
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> pragmaticenigma: fedora is the community driven redhat
[18:24] <LukeWatts> i dont know how to set up nameservers up on my server, can anyone please help. thank you.
[18:25] <LukeWatts> if anyone can help, i would truly be thank ful.
[18:25] <ThinkT510> abhay_: sorry, i'm not entirely surre what you're trying to accomplish, but you can't resize a partition while it is mounted
[18:25] <macabre> anyone here running a macbook pro 2,2 on ubuntu?
[18:26] <saskwatch> LukeWatts do you mean your domain point to your vps?
[18:26] <macabre> my xorg config file is fubarrre
[18:26] <macabre> d
[18:26] <pragmaticenigma> CentOS is the community edition of RedHat, Fedora forked and set their own path though they receive a lot of contributions from RedHat employees
[18:26] <cyrrius> ActionParsnip, after restart, I still get the same error. :Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module....Aborting..Screens found, but none have a usable config
[18:26] <LukeWatts> yes saskwatch, i mean that :)
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> macabre: you can make xorg.conf if you need it
[18:27] <abhay_> ThinkT510: what i am trying to say is that if i run the gparted livecd first and then make my partions and then use a ubuntu live cd to install it on one of the partions.
[18:27] <Arachon> Hi there, I'm noticing in the System Monitor that a program called "indicator-application-service" is eating a *lot* of CPU power... Is this normal?
[18:27] <macabre> ActionParsnip: when i run dpkg-reconfig it does nothing
[18:27] <ThinkT510> abhay_: yes, you can do that
[18:28] <saskwatch> LukeWatts who do you have your domain name with
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> cyrrius: run:   sudo nvidia-xconfig; sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf     change: Driver "nvidia"   to: Driver "nv"    press CTRL+X, Press Y, Press ENTER   then reboot, you will get a desktop
[18:28] <ThinkT510> abhay_: gparted is already on the ubuntu livecd for resizing partitions during install
[18:28] <LukeWatts> sask, my domain is with
[18:28] <cyrrius> ActionParsnip, ok, doing that now. Thanks!
[18:29] <LukeWatts> sask, my domains with my host..
[18:29] <LukeWatts> myorderbox
[18:29] <xangua> Arachon: that is fot the indicators, define a lot of cpu ; maybe some extra indicator¿¿
[18:29] <[segfault]> macabre: well, if you are running 10.10, you could just rename it to xorg.conf.bak and X should do its best make everything work automagically
[18:29] <LukeWatts> i dunno
[18:29] <Arachon> xangua: I have... the normal indicators, plus xchat and tomboy notes... and the process is eating around 90%
[18:30] <macabre> [segfault]: let me get this straight, take my current xorg file, rename it, then reboot?
[18:31] <[segfault]> macabre: i think you would just restart X, really.  I was just recently reading about the lack of xorg.conf in 10.10
[18:31] <cyrrius> ActionParsnip, I have GUI! Thanks so much!
[18:31] <abhay_> ThinkT510: if thats the thing then i have used that before its just i wasn't able to make the (unknown(1mb), linix-swap(23.63gb) in my case), when making the partions. it keept giving me error that i didn't specify a boot partion.
[18:31] <Diverdude> if i do rm file in the terminal, is it then deleted for good, or is it put to the trashcan?
[18:31] <macabre> [segfault]: looks like im still running 10.4
[18:32] <johnny77> I'm working on an old laptop and installed a CLI only to ensure that it would run. I've been able get an IP address, but I still can't ping the router or connect to the internet.
[18:32] <geoffmcc> johnny77: did u assign static ip or use dhcp?
[18:32] <Ubunewb> hi everyone! is there an application to check if sd-cards are broken?
[18:33] <[segfault]> macabre: ahh, well you could upgrade and see if there is better support for your machine perhaps, though if fixing xorg.conf is your aim, then you would need to let us know specifically what is messed up.
[18:33] <johnny77> geoffmcc: used dhcp
[18:33] <ThinkT510> abhay_: when assigning partitions you need a minimum of 1 / (the root partition), swap and others are optional (boot resides on the root partition unless you made it seperately)
[18:33] <kingfarvito1> I managed to install WOW using wine, now it keeps crashing anyone think they can help me?

[18:34] <geoffmcc> johnny77: hmm. guess not problem - i kinda figured u may have forgot to define gateway as the router
[18:35] <IboS> hi
[18:35] <hqall> Ubunewb: there probably is, but why not do it with the tools you already have ;) i'll show you:

[18:35] <IboS> i want to change to root password
[18:36] <[segfault]> macabre: video res problem, I see... someone here probably knows the line to change in xorg.conf to get your resolution back to 1440x900
[18:36] <IboS> i dunno how to do it ?
[18:36] <geoffmcc> IboS: ubuntu uses sudo - so you would just change password on account that has sudo rights
[18:36] <johnny77> geoffmcc: Just to make sure I am doing this correctly I typed: ping <IP_ADDRESS> - it respondes with From <IP_ADDRESS> icmp_seq=1 Destination Host Unreachable
[18:36] <Diverdude> if i do rm file in the terminal, is it then deleted for good, or is it put to the trashcan?
[18:36] <[segfault]> Diverdude: gone
[18:36] <abhay_> ThinkT510: what i did was i had my 2 tb drive i shrinked it to 300 gb of ext4 and the i made a 30 gb linux-swap but then i wasn't able to make the unknown(1 mb, bios_grub).
[18:36] <Spycecool> allserv
[18:37] <Jonii> weird bug. If you leave ubuntu screen selection thing(super+e gets you there) open, screen doesn't lock after you've left Ubuntu idle for a while
[18:37] <scutum> please someone helpt with the torrent file to download
[18:37] <geoffmcc> johnny77: try to assign a static ip --- follow this if needed http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/
[18:37] <smilidon> Ok so I know that every version of Ubuntu PPC doesn't detect video in iMac G3 even on the alternate install cd so how do i fix this?
[18:37] <scutum> ~help
[18:37] <IboS> thank you geoffmcc
[18:37] <macabre> [segfault]: thanks
[18:37] <macabre> anyone in here know how to set a resolution manually?
[18:38] <abhay_> ThinkT510: the unkown wasn't in the drop menu when making the partions.
[18:38] <macabre> preferablly someone with a macbook pro 2,2 - but that would make too much sense :D
[18:38] <[segfault]> macabre: sry can't be more helpful.  I don't mess with my xorg.conf much anymore
[18:38] <proto> Is there a text editor already in Ubuntu for web development? Or will I need to find one from the software center?
[18:38] <hqall> 1) create a file that is as big as the card you want to test : dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/yourFile bs=512MB
[18:38] <hqall> 2) create a checksum for that file: md5sum /tmp/yourFile
[18:38] <geoffmcc> IboS: just to be clear if IboS was your account with sudo when signed on just run passwd
[18:38] <hqall> 3) copy that file to the card, and
[18:38] <hqall> 4) create a checksum from the file on your card
[18:38] <macabre> [segfault]: me either :D
[18:38] <hqall> if both match, the card works :)
[18:38] <FloodBot1> hqall: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:38] <ThinkT510> abhay_: grub resides on the /boot partition, if you didn't specify it, it gets installed under / (root)
[18:38] <nikecz> ccc
[18:39] <michaelxq> where can i download r5u8xx??
[18:39] <geoffmcc> johnny77: if follow that guide dont bother with remove of dhcp-client
[18:40] <bazhang> michaelxq, thats not a package
[18:40] <smilidon> Anyone have an idea on how to manually set the xorg? Since it doesn't autodetect on an iMac G3 ppc
[18:40] <michaelxq> bazhang, it's a driver for my webcam that need to run
[18:41] <abhay_> ThinkT510: so if i do it like this-- i make 300 gb of ext4 which is (mount point /) and then i make a 30 gb linix-swap. after that i select the 300 gb partions and click install will it work?
[18:41] <bazhang> abhay_, those are way too huge
[18:42] <ThinkT510> abhay_: it will work but not sure why you want such huge partitions
[18:42] <abhay_> bazhang: how is it huge sir.
[18:42] <robin0800> abhay_, 2x memory max for swap
[18:42] <bazhang> abhay_, how much ram
[18:42] <abhay_> bazhang: 8 gb ram
[18:42] <VCoolio> smilidon: sudo Xorg -configure > xorg.conf    or write your own with options you need
[18:43] <drew2> is wireless hardware supposed to show up in the 'network settings' graphical configuration tool?
[18:43] <bazhang> abhay_, going to hibernate?
[18:43] <drew2> all i have is 'wired connection' and 'point to point'
[18:43] <kingfarvito1> I get this error after the intro video when I run wow that says the memory cannot be read, what do I do?
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> robin0800: only if ram is less than 2Gb ;)
[18:43] <Jemt> Hi. I have opened port 80, but nmap does'nt list it. What's wrong ?  -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT && nmap localhost   <= The latter only displays port 631 (wonder what that is)
[18:43] <ThinkT510> abhay_: quite frankly, you likely don't need swap with that mch ram, unless you're doing memory heavy tasks
[18:43] <abhay_> bazhang: right now my linis-swap is at 25.63 gb
[18:43] <sanbor> hello there
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> drew2: yes if it has a driver
[18:43] <Protomega> michaelxq: Have you been able to install them before with Linux?
[18:43] <sanbor> somebody knows about gnome keyring?
[18:44] <bazhang> abhay_, try 8gb
[18:44] <bazhang> abhay_, and for / perhaps 20
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> sanbor: in what way?
[18:44] <Protomega> michaelxq: If not, from what I have read I'm afraid you may not be able to.
[18:44] <michaelxq> Protomega, yes..with ubuntu 10.04
[18:44] <[segfault]> macabre: take a look at this xorg.conf and see if you can use some of it for your macbook - http://wstein.org/macbook/xorg.conf
[18:44] <AndroidKris> What can I use to monitor cpu, time, ram etc. as a guage on my desktop?
[18:44] <bazhang> AndroidKris, conky
[18:45] <michaelxq> Protomega, i've just installed ubuntu 10.10 and i forget where i found it before
[18:45] <sanbor> I want to know if its possible to create a simple python script to access to a password in the gnome-keyring and then run a command with that password
[18:45] <armence> I was considering running a Windows VM in VirtualBox to do gaming. How successful have people been in that kind of endeavor?
[18:45] <ubuntu1> hello im new to the linux world . I have a custom build pc . the specs are core2 quad 8300 4gig ddr2 800 mhz ram, 1.6 tb hdd dvd rom and blu-ray my blu-ray rom is the problem. Its not playing the blurays
[18:45] <bazhang> AndroidKris, great beginners guide at ubuntuforums
[18:45] <abhay_> bazhang: the reason i was making the / a large partions so that in the future i have space when download programs and stuff. or will i be able to extend it later on?
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> AndroidKris: sure, use conky
[18:46] <drew2> ActionParsnip: thanks; I have a wireless icon up in the task bar with a red X but i can not connect to the network.
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> !bluray | ubuntu1
[18:46] <drew2> but nothing in network settings
[18:46] <ThinkT510> armence: most 3d games don't run that great in virtualbox (or at all sometimes)
[18:46] <bazhang> abhay_, you would have to install every single package to fill that. and you would still have a huge amount of space left
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> drew2: run: sudo iwlist scan      do you see access points?
[18:46] <macabre> [segfault]: looking now, thanks
[18:46] <abhay_> bazhang: ok i guess i can make it smaller size.
[18:47] <armence> ThinkT510, Do you know of a good alternative for that purpose? Apart from dual-boot or Wine which are my current unsatisfactory options.
[18:47] <sanbor> I think I should have to know how to access to the Gnome keyring window
[18:47] <drew2> 'doesn't support scanning'
[18:47] <sanbor> *API, sorry
[18:47] <sy_> Is there a command I can use to reset a user's keyboard setting via terminal?
[18:47] <bazhang> abhay_, a LOT smaller
[18:47] <IboS> geoffmcc: the person who made man passwd is lazy
[18:47] <knittl> hi. which driver of nvidia should i use for my card? 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86M [Quadro FX 360M] (rev a1)
[18:47] <ThinkT510> armence: the best is likely dualboot
[18:47] <IboS> there are only a few lines
[18:47] <geoffmcc> IboS: having troubles?
[18:47] <macabre> [segfault]: will 10.4 find my video driver if i rename xorg?
[18:48] <abhay_> bazhang, ThinkT510, thanks alot guys.
[18:48] <ThinkT510> np
[18:48] <macabre> [segfault]: i may just try that
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> knittl: install nvidia-current    and it will work
[18:48] <bazhang> abhay_, welcome
[18:48] <paq7512> is there an issue with copy files to usb flash drives? why is it always to wonky?
[18:48] <Ubunewb> hqall: thx, ill give it a try
[18:48] <knittl> ActionParsnip: well, it does not
[18:48] <knittl> two monitors will not work with twinview at full resolution
[18:48] <[segfault]> macabre: I don't know.. I think the missing xorg.conf thing started in 10.10
[18:48] <knittl> nvidia-173 does work, but is somehow slow compared to -current
[18:48] <geoffmcc> IboS: at prompt should just have to type passwd - will ask for old and new twice. if new is simular to old may have to force it threw
[18:48] <Linfert> Hellpo
[18:48] <Linfert> hello*
[18:49] <Linfert> What is command for make files ?
[18:49] <paq7512> touch
[18:49] <_Alex__> You mean text files?
[18:49] <_Alex__> nano
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> knittl: what happens when you use the current?
[18:49] <kingfarvito1> (11:43:35 AM) kingfarvito1: I get this error after the intro video when I run wow that says the memory cannot be read, what do I do?
[18:49] <knittl> ActionParsnip: one monitor will be blank
[18:49] <[segfault]> macabre: you can just back up what you have now though, and then experiment with sections of that file I linked to you until you get it running.
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> knittl: did you run:  nvidia-settings   and setup the dual display?
[18:50] <knittl> ActionParsnip: and jockey complains when installing – it's behaving really strange (while installing)
[18:50] <yuskhanzab> at least problem solve by reseting my modem.
[18:50] <knittl> ActionParsnip: yes
[18:50] <_Alex__> Linfert: What kind of files, Text ones?
[18:50] <yuskhanzab> thats all =)
[18:50] <knittl> ActionParsnip: it works when i set resolution of one monitor to less-than-full
[18:50] <Sir_Ragnarok> I'm installing an ubuntu server (first time) "What is a GRUB?"
[18:50] <Sir_Ragnarok> GRUB boot settup
[18:50] <BluesKaj> !grub
[18:50] <johnny77> geoffmcc: It gave me an error - SIOCADDRT: no such process - Failed to bring up wlan0
[18:51] <yuskhanzab> Sir_Ragnarok, can ask u a question?
[18:51] <_Alex__> Sir_Ragnarok GRub is a boot loader, much like Windows Boot manager, but alot better
[18:51] <Sir_Ragnarok> Do I install it or not?
[18:51] <Sir_Ragnarok> What is the default position on this?
[18:51] <geoffmcc> johnny77: so your using wifi?
[18:51] <_Alex__> Sir_Ragnarok: Lol, that is critical
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> knittl: could try running: sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings     setup the display in some way (none on  'auto') and click "save to x config file". Then run: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   and manually set the resolutions

[18:54] <VCoolio> seeeker: dpkg-query -L squid
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> seeeker: try: sudo service squid stop    you can tab complete the squid bit in that command, it may be squidd
[18:54] <geoffmcc> IboS: good

[18:55] <KucukMubasir> hi again guys, I tried installing git on terminal, yet I got this error in return:

[18:55] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu1: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/lxbdplayer-is-blu-ray-playback-software-for-linux/   maybe
[18:55] <_Alex__> ActionParsnip: You'r right
[18:55] <erUSUL> KucukMubasir: is git-core
[18:55] <erUSUL> !info git-core
[18:56] <KucukMubasir> oh
[18:56] <magicianlord> does ms office install on wine?
[18:56] <IboS> _Alex__: want less memory use and access
[18:56] <KucukMubasir> I thought something wrong with my package manager
[18:56] <erUSUL> !appdb | magicianlord
[18:56] <ThinkT510> !appdb | magicianlord
[18:56] <coz_> magicianlord,  I think it depends on the version but you can check in #winehq
[18:57] <geoffmcc> IboS: sorry i run ubuntu server. just help out where can with desktop
[18:57] <magicianlord> unity has a 2s mode now?

[18:59] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: yeah its a bit clunky if you ask me
[18:59] <johnny77> geoffmcc: It was some kind of broadcom card. I use a b43-fwcutter to install the drivers.
[18:59] <magicianlord> it's a good branding interface for os, but for a regular user like me, gnome works better
[18:59] <KucukMubasir> thanks erUSUL
[18:59] <erUSUL> KucukMubasir: no problem
[19:00] <geoffmcc> johnny77: that what i have used in past so should be setup properly

[19:01] <BajK> hey, I want to upgrade to the 2.6.38-4 kernel in the ubuntu kernel ppa. I have the nvidia-current proprietary driver running. Do I need to take any precautions? I heard I at least need the headers package as well. What else do I need to take care of? On my notebook (intel graphics) and my mothers pc (radeon driver) everything worke perfectly.
[19:01] <geoffmcc> SIOCADDRT: no such process - Failed to bring up wlan0

[19:01] <seeeker> where are the logs?
[19:01] <seeeker> i'm a newbie :x
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> seeeker: is it acually squid? did you tab complete?
[19:01] <erUSUL> seeeker: /var/log/
[19:01] <ThinkT510> seeeker: are you sure it isn't squidd (as in daemon)
[19:01] <seeeker> hmm, good question
[19:01] <seeeker> 'squid' does not auto complete
[19:02] <seeeker> its the http proxy service
[19:02] <seeeker> coulda sworn i restarted it normally last night

[19:02] <StevenX> Hello. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 live CD to delete all the partitions on my HDD. I have an existing partition where Ubuntu 10.04 is installed. GParted cannot delete this partition. What can I do to delete this partition?
[19:02] <Pilif12p> StevenX: Is the partition unmounted?
[19:02] <jim_> Hello, I'm trying to run ubuntu on my laptop but it gets stuck on "Setting Sensors limit"... any idea how can I fix that?
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> seeeker: try: ls /etc/init.d   to see what you have
[19:03] <nicofs> Is there any good video editing software that works?
[19:03] <Araneidae> Does Ubuntu 10.10 support Xinput2?
[19:03] <ThinkT510> nicofs: openshot is good
[19:03] <StevenX> Pilif12p, I do not know how to check. I am using the live CD so I thought that it was unmounted. I could be wrong. Can you elaborate how I can make sure it is unmounted?
[19:03] <ThinkT510> !info openshot | nicofs
[19:03] <nicofs> ThinkT510, can i learn to use it in under a year?
[19:03] <[segfault]> nicofs: I have used PiTiVi a bit and it seems to be decent, but you will find many opinions depending on what you intend to do.
[19:04] <Naeblis> guys I seriously need help. My Firefox keeps crashing whenever I play any flash content. I can block the content by using 'xul-ext-flashblock' as suggested by someone here before, but how do I solve it? Been googling for an hour with no success :(
[19:04] <geoffmcc> johnny77: what do u get if u -- dmesg | grep wlan
[19:04] <seeeker> nothing to do with squid is there, ActionParsnip
[19:04] <EPOS> Does anyone know how to use Sakis3G well? plz pm me!
[19:04] <ThinkT510> nicofs: there are tutorials around for it, i'm sure you'll pick it up quickly
[19:04] <nicofs> I tried avidemux - messes up sound - and cinelerra - complex, no sound at all
[19:04] <magicianlord> what is better. libreoffice or openoffice and why
[19:04] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: what is the output of:  uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf      use http://pastie.org to store the output. Thanks
[19:05] <johnny77> geoffmcc: I think I got it this time. it is pinging google.
[19:05] <magicianlord> from a perfomrance and feature standpoint
[19:05] <Pilif12p> StevenX: If you right click on it can you click on "Unmount" ?
[19:05] <_Alex__> StevenX: In terminal, type 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=4k conv=notrunc'
[19:05] <geoffmcc> johnny77: might i ask what you changed
[19:05] <_Alex__> StevenX: It will take long, but will wipe out all data
[19:05] <ThinkT510> magicianlord: in future versions of ubuntu, libreoffice is going to be supported instead of openoffice
[19:05] <[segfault]> magicianlord: I am going to say Libreoffice, but that is only an opinion.  I understand many of the core developers left the Ooo project and are working on Libre
[19:06] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip : Are these seperate commands or concatenated...?
[19:06] <StevenX> Pilif12p, I cannot. The only option upon right-clicking is "information" or "manage flags"
[19:06] <jim_> I have problems booting up ubuntu... can anyone help me please?
[19:06] <Pilif12p> okay, so it's probably unmounted. past that, i have no idea
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: copy the whole command and run it as one
[19:07] <magicianlord> should i download libreoffice and install the deb? is it easy to purge if it stinks
[19:07] <johnny77> geoffmcc: honestly. not sure. I went through and set up the dhcp again.

[19:07] <om26er> magicianlord, should be simple
[19:07] <jim_> I searched google but found no solution
[19:07] <geoffmcc> johnny77: just wondering if u ifconfig does it report as wlan0 or something else
[19:07] <om26er> jim_, did ubuntu work fine before?
[19:08] <_Alex__> jim_: A kernel issue. Ubuntu does that often
[19:08] <jim_> I have run mandriva...
[19:08] <jim_> I dont think I ever tried ubuntu before
[19:08] <om26er> jim_, so you are running ubuntu for the first time?
[19:08] <jim_> yes
[19:08] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip: http://pastie.org/pastes/1613978/text
[19:08] <jim_> 10.10 and 10.4
[19:08] <om26er> jim_, right, which system is it? a PC or a notebook?
[19:08] <jim_> non of them worked
[19:08] <jim_> dell L100
[19:08] <RobotCow> jim_: what sensor?
[19:09] <jim_> doesnt say
[19:09] <_Alex__> jim_ Ubuntu is not the best choice for you, if you were a -rpm guy
[19:09] <om26er> jim_, dell L100 seems to be a keyboard
[19:09] <om26er> _Alex__, could you please stop that

[19:10] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: there is no flash package there, how have you installed flash?
[19:10] <xrdodrx> how do I make it so KDE apps fit into my color scheme?
[19:10] <xrdodrx> like kolourpaint and ktimer
[19:10] <johnny77> geoffmcc: it reports as wlan0. Maybe a typo.. sorry.
[19:10] <om26er> jim_, I had a similar problem on a system, it had a pci wifi card connected to it after removing it system started fine
[19:10] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip: Err, I removed it earlier today, then reinstalled via Ubuntu Software Centre
[19:10] <jim_> yes I do have one
[19:11] <jim_> so removing it will fix
[19:11] <xtrac> _Alex__,  this room is a bad choice for you if you are a pessimist
[19:11] <geoffmcc> johnny77: least it working
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: try: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree   to install flash
[19:11] <om26er> jim_, is it from TP-LINK?
[19:11] <jim_> great I'll try :)
[19:11] <jim_> I'm not pessimist... I really want to make it work
[19:12] <jim_> what is TP-Link :|
[19:12] <xtrac> ?
[19:12] <_Alex__> jim_: he told it to me, not you
[19:12] <om26er> jim_, do you know the company of that card
[19:12] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip: In Progress. I also installed flash-aid few mins ago, found on the forums that it could solve the problem, but didn't work. :(
[19:13] <om26er> jim_, forget about it, just try to boot without that card first
[19:13] <jim_> yes it is realtek
[19:13] <jim_> rtl8185
[19:14] <vargadanis> hi! how do I list all folders and files in long format that ends with character t?
[19:14] <vargadanis> I tried: ls -l | grep *t but that didn't wokr
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: why do you need flash-aid?
[19:14] <jim_> thanks a lot guys I'll try rebot and see what it wil happen :)
[19:15] <sacarlson>  vargadanis: maybe find -name "*t"
[19:15] <fossusr> How can I make it so the user only had read permissions, but can navigate through directories? chmod 700 didn't work.
[19:15] <ubuntumaniak> hello
[19:15] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip: The problem seems to be that flash is causing the crash. So, I disabled hardware acceleration, then installed flash-aid as it has worked for some from what the forums tell me
[19:16] <Lungan> Why can't I play .flv files in Ubuntu?
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> Naeblis: what does flash aid do?
[19:16] <wildc4rd> anyone here familiar with QCad?
[19:16] <sacarlson> wildc4rd: I've used it some time back
[19:17] <fossusr> Lungan: DId you download the Adobe Flash plugin?
[19:17] <ThinkT510> !anyone | wildc4rd
[19:17] <Lungan> fossusr, "apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree" ?
[19:17] <Lungan> fossusr, or maybe flashplugin*
[19:17] <vargadanis> sacarlson, that does indeed find the file but doesn't give permission details like ls -l would
[19:17] <wildc4rd> thanks Think, but I stand by my initial question
[19:17] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip: "Removing conflicting flash installations and installing the appropriate version as supported by your Ubuntu system architecture"
[19:17] <sacarlson> wildc4rd: very similar to autocad like older editions mabe like autocad 10,  but been like 3 years since I played with it last
[19:18] <magicianlord> do you enjoy the bouncy windows in gnome effects?
[19:18] <BluesKaj> install flashplugin-installer, Lungan
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> sacarlson: ls | grep grep 't$'
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> sacarlson: oop      ls | grep 't$'
[19:18] <_Alex__> magicianlorg: Itn't it named 'Wobbly Windows'?
[19:19] <Sylvester11> Is there a way I can format an Embedded PC?
[19:19] <itsmeee> join /gaybcn
[19:19] <itsmeee> join
[19:19] <Lungan> BluesKaj, "apt-get install flashplugin-installer" and then?
[19:19] <Sylvester11> This system that I've gotten has Windows Embedded C3 6.0 and I'd like to take it off and put Ubuntu netbook edition on it.
[19:19] <_Alex__> itsmee Jou gotta type '/join #gaybcn'
[19:20] <_Alex__> *you
[19:20] <Sylvester11> It's Sylvania Netbook Synet07526
[19:20] <fossusr> How do I change folder permissions recursively while leaving file permissions unaltered?
[19:20] <BluesKaj> Lungan, the flashplugin will auto install..flashplugin-installer replaces the nonfree
[19:20] <om26er> !test
[19:21] <abe> quick question, have a situation, installed ubunto on a 30 gb partion and of course ran out of room, installed 150gb hard drive just for ubunto but it still boots to the 30gb partion how do i remove it from that partition?
[19:21] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip: system froze again. was checking the plugins. I really don't know what to do :(
[19:21] <Lungan> BluesKaj, Ok, but the .flv file is a videofile that I have on dekstot, not having trouble waching videos on internet like youtube etc.
[19:22] <Lungan> BluesKaj, desktop*
[19:22] <fossusr> Lungan: Download Ubuntu restricted extras from the repository?
[19:22] <soreau> abe: If you can just reinstall fresh, and point the boot loader to the new partition (or reinstall grub for that drive from the live cd)
[19:22] <shcherbak> fossusr: feed chmod with forder list
[19:22] <BluesKaj> Lungan, it should still work
[19:23] <Lungan> BluesKaj, I will try. Having slow internet, trying in 5 min
[19:23] <abe> Soreau: i did reinstall and it still boots from the 30gb
[19:23] <fossusr> shcherbak: Explain, if you will.
[19:23] <Sylvester11> Is there a way I can format a netbook with an embedded operating system?
[19:23] <Naeblis> ActionParsnip: Maybe its firefox itself. I'm thinking of giving chrome a try
[19:23] <abe> how do i point the bootloader?
[19:23] <BluesKaj> Lungan, fossusr is correct make sure you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed as well
[19:24] <[TK]D-Fender> Sylvester11: Tried booting it with something else perhaps?
[19:24] <Lungan> BluesKaj, How do I make shure that I have them installed?
[19:24] <sacarlson> Sylvester11: what is an embedded operating system?  or what will it do?
[19:24] <fossusr> Lungan: Go to the software center, search it, and it should be checked.
[19:24] <BluesKaj> with sudo apt-get . Lungan ;)
[19:25] <shcherbak> fossusr: better, use find with chmod: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/changing-permission-for-folders-only-477040/
[19:25] <fossusr> Or BluesKaj 's easier way :D
[19:25] <nash__> hello guys
[19:25] <Lungan> BluesKaj, "apt-get install ubuntu-restricted extras"?
[19:25] <Sylvester11> The system uses Windows Embedded CE 6.0, it's an Sylvania SYNET07526.
[19:25] <[TK]D-Fender> Sylvester11: Tried booting it with something else perhaps?
[19:25] <Dustin_> Hello?
[19:26] <abe> how do i point the bootloader to a diffrent drive?
[19:26] <BluesKaj> Lungan, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:26] <ThinkT510> !grub | abe
[19:26] <coz_>  /join #grub
[19:26] <Lungan> BluesKaj, Thank you, brb 5 min
[19:27] <Sylvester11> [TK]D-Fender: Like the usb?
[19:27] <Sylvester11> [TK]D-Fender: Aprantly this sytem has no BIOS?
[19:27] <coz_> abe,  you might want to reinstall grub via live cd   http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[19:27] <ThinkT510> !grub2 | abe
[19:28] <om26er> jim__, so, did it work?
[19:28] <the_seraphim> i need to give myself full rw access to another users home directory without taking their permissions away and it has to be permenant
[19:29] <fossusr> shcherbak: I'm still not fully understanding this.
[19:30] <coz_> the_seraphim,  when you gksudo nautilus  are you not able to go into their home directory?
[19:30] <the_seraphim> err...
[19:31] <abe> is there anyway to uninstall ubuntu and start all over again?
[19:31] <washuu_de> bbl...
[19:31] <coz_> abe,  reinstall from live cd or minimal install cd
[19:31] <Starminn> Is there an option to to automatically obtain metadata on audio files?
[19:31] <ThinkT510> abe: you can delete any/all partitions using gparted from a livecd
[19:31] <gsp2009> hey folks. Can someone tell me what packages I need installed for jockey to present me with nvidia drivers?
[19:32] <xrdodrx> how do I make it so KDE apps fit into my GTK color scheme?
[19:32] <shcherbak> fossusr: for directories: find . -type d -exec chmod 0XXX {} \; Replace XXX with desired permissions.
[19:32] <coz_> Starminn,  look for   oidua  in the repository
[19:32] <washuu_de> sorry for inkoherence last time
[19:32] <coz_> Starminn,  i believe that might do it
[19:32] <[TK]D-Fender> [14:27]	<Sylvester11>	[TK]D-Fender: Aprantly this sytem has no BIOS? <- is that a question... or a statement?
[19:32] <the_seraphim> coz_: its probably easier if i tell my mate to use a separate shared folder...
[19:33] <KucukMubasir> what is the default shell in ubuntu?
[19:33] <the_seraphim> i dont know why he wants to have access to her home dir
[19:33] <[TK]D-Fender> Sylvester11: Im not getting a good impression of you're having really loked at your system so far...
[19:33] <washuu_de> bash
[19:33] <coz_> the_seraphim,  ok that might work also
[19:33] <ThinkT510> !bash | KucukMubasir
[19:34] <magicianlord> what is the best terminal application?
[19:34] <KucukMubasir> thanks guys
[19:34] <xrdodrx> !best | magicianlord
[19:34] <the_seraphim> the other problem is that the main user (original user) can see the other drives on the machine, however the new user even though in the admin group cannot see the drives let alone have access to those directories within them. the goal is to have access to one shared directory on the second drive while the rest of the drive remains read disabled
[19:34] <magicianlord> thanks gandorf
[19:34] <KucukMubasir> my ~./bash_profile file was missing and I created it with touch
[19:35] <KucukMubasir> ~/.bash_profile
[19:35] <abe> am i gonna screwe my computer up by deleteing the partion that ubuntu is on?
[19:35] <bazhang> abe, no
[19:35] <fossusr> shcherbak: I only want to do it for certain directories. Do I declare the top directory after everything else?
[19:35] <erUSUL> KucukMubasir: use ~/.profile
[19:36] <erUSUL> KucukMubasir: bash reads it
[19:36] <abe> cool so we will delete both partiontion and start again from scratch
[19:36] <KucukMubasir> erUSUL: I need to paste a line of code to bash_profile file
[19:36] <bazhang> abe, why not make seperate home partition
[19:36] <KucukMubasir> you recommend me to paste that to ~/.profile ?
[19:36] <erUSUL> KucukMubasir: it is equivalent. paste it to ~/.profile
[19:37] <bazhang> !home | abe
[19:37] <erUSUL> KucukMubasir: yes
[19:37] <C-S-B> guys, I'm getting mountall disconnected from plymouth

[19:38] <FUMOS> hello people! I've got a little big problem that consists of the following problems: broken laptop screen (cracked), upon installing the HD in my desktop (so I could change the default screen to my desktop screen) I accidentally installed an nvidia (nvidia-173) driver on it along the way, upon reinserting I couldn't see grub and ubuntu started up in text mode
[19:38] <shcherbak> fossusr: "find ." act like -R from pwd (acctual, working directory) down, not certain about symlinks.
[19:39] <KucukMubasir> is there a shortcut command to restart the terminal?
[19:39] <Starminn> coz_ I'm sorry but it is not very clear on how to use it. Can you assist? "man oidua" doesn't help me very much.
[19:39] <shcherbak> fossusr: What do you mean certain? You can add -name with pattern to find command.
[19:39] <FUMOS> I have the following in my possesion: a (dual-boot) desktop with screen (two channels: VGA - connected to laptop, DVI - connected to desktop), an ubuntu 7.10 and a lubuntu 10.10 live CD, a wired+wireless router connected to both laptop and desktop that connects both to a really slow internet connection with a college firewall
[19:40] <[segfault]> KucukMubasir: 'reset' Is that what you are looking for?
[19:40] <KucukMubasir> thanks [segfault]
[19:40] <skor> How do you display and choose a kernel to boot from the command line ?  I'm not finding it in the docs so far..
[19:40] <coz_> Starminn,  ah hold on let me install it
[19:41] <Starminn> coz_: Alright, thanks.
[19:41] <ThinkT510> !grub2 | skor
[19:41] <fossusr> shcherbak: I think this is over my head...
[19:41] <ikonia> #ubuntu<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:41] <ikonia> #ubuntu<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:41] <erUSUL> skor: if the grub menu do not appear when you boot. press shift to force it to appear
[19:41] <gGgG> Hello, im using the livecd, I closed and opened my laptop and my pointer disappeared, how might I get it back?
[19:41] <ikonia> #ubuntu<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:41] <ikonia> ughh, sorry

[19:42] <javahorn> what is it to do with and how to get back querty standard keyboar layout?
[19:42] <Starminn> coz_: Mhm.
[19:42] <FUMOS> I also forgot to say, after unsinstalling nvidia-173 I had to boot it in safe mode on the DESKTOP to reinstall nvidia 173, and the boot screen changed ever since (in normal mode)
[19:42] <fossusr> shcherbak: Thanks, though :D
[19:42] <erUSUL> javahorn: System>Preferences>Keyboard ?
[19:42] <shcherbak> fossusr: run this one: find . -type d
[19:43] <javahorn> erUSUL:  is it normal to toggle keys?
[19:43] <FUMOS> (that is the boot screen of ubuntu itself, not grub)
[19:43] <erUSUL> javahorn: no
[19:43] <ikonia> #ubuntu<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:43] <coz_> Starminn,  so in terminal the command might be   oidua  nameofsudofile.wav -D
[19:43] <KucukMubasir> erUSUL: I need to paste this line to bash_profile :[[ -s "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm" ]] && . "$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm"  # This loads RVM into a shell session.
[19:43] <StevenX> Is there a command I can use to unmount, without reservation, all devices? I tried "sudo umount -a" but that didn't work. (I am working off a Ubuntu 10.10 live CD, in case anyone was interested.
[19:43] <KucukMubasir> and I pasted it to ~/.profile as you said
[19:43] <javahorn> erUSUL:  sorry very new to it, where is system > preferences > keyboard
[19:43] <KucukMubasir> but this didn't seem to have worked
[19:43] <Protomega> Anyone willing to help me get windows to work beside Ubuntu?
[19:44] <javahorn> sorry got it
[19:44] <erUSUL> KucukMubasir: profile is only read on login
[19:44] <javahorn> erUSUL:

[19:44] <Starminn> coz_: Nope, it's not happening.

[19:45] <ikonia> #ubuntu<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:45] <javahorn> erUSUL:  thanks, any idea of skype?
[19:45] <Ampelbein> StevenX: "didn't work" as in "my computer exploded and I had to buy a new one" or more "There was the error message XXX"?
[19:45] <erUSUL> javahorn: nope sorry
[19:45] <fossusr> shcherbak: Oh, I'm starting to understand the find command now.
[19:45] <StevenX> Ampelbein, I got an error message saying that some of the devices are busy, so they were not unmounted. I would like to unmount those regardless.
[19:46] <VDCkustoms> can anyone help me with playing mp4 videos?
[19:46] <javahorn> ubuntu room, trying for this  for skype ie http://reviewhubs.com/linuxtips/2010/01/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu-1004.html ---is it ok?

[19:46] <itaylor57> javahorn: I just used the skype in snaptic
[19:46] <Ampelbein> StevenX: umount -a -l would be worth a try

[19:47] <player> how do i instal firifox
[19:48] <itaylor57> javahorn: I just installed skype from the ubuntu software center
[19:48] <gGgG> Hello I closed and opened my laptop and my pointer disappeared, how might I get it back?
[19:48] <javahorn> itaylor57:  link please, and  sound and video works fine?
[19:48] <ikonia> #ubuntu cobalt_!*@*$#ubuntu-ops
[19:48]  * javahorn itaylor57  i can test to add you in skype! ;-)
[19:48] <itaylor57> javahorn: sound and video works fine
[19:48] <player> hello i have instaled ubuntu 10.04 but now i can watch videos and because the time skips
[19:49] <[segfault]> gGgG: sometimes there is a function key or button to turn on and off your touchpad if that is what you are using.  You can try toggling that, or if a USB mouse unplug and plug it back in.
[19:49] <coz_> player,  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[19:49] <javahorn> itaylor57:  how you installed, plz step it out
[19:49] <Acidic31> I want to replace all strings in all files in all directories from /home/mossy/public_html/vfsn/ to /home/vfsn/public_html/
[19:49] <StevenX> Ampelbein, I believe that worked, but now I get an error trying to run gparted.
[19:49] <Acidic31> how do i do this?
[19:49] <Starminn> coz_: This is just as useless as EasyTag for doing this. I can add metatags just fine, but I want it to get it from whatever database iTunes and/or Windows Media Player, etc. gets it from. It is very upsetting having to do this one at a time by hand. Wastes a lot of time.
[19:49] <itaylor57> javahorn: i used Applications -> Ubuntu Software center; searched for skype and installed
[19:50] <coz_> player,  then run  this command if you also want to play dvds     sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[19:50] <ThinkT510> !software | javahorn
[19:50] <gGgG> [segfault]: well the pointer is actually working, but theres no arrow, so i cant see where it is,
[19:50] <shcherbak> fossusr: nice, -exec passing result of find to chmod, thats all, try to add -name "Do*" -exec ls
[19:50] <Starminn> coz_: Not to sound unappreciative, of course, I'm just frustrated is all, sorry. :) Anyway, so I saw the option for getting it from a DB in oidua but it doesn't do it
[19:50] <MegaHerz> Hi. Is there a traffic accounting tool such ipac-ng was?
[19:50] <javahorn> ThinkT510:  Thanks
[19:50] <gGgG> [segfault]: im gonna try restarting gdm..
[19:50] <Ampelbein> StevenX: what error?
[19:50] <coz_> Starminn,  oh!  sorry guy,,, I am not real familiar with metadata for audio ...if you google with this search string  "ubuntu  audio metadata "  you may get more hits to search with
[19:50] <javahorn> itaylor57:  you searched by command ?
[19:50] <ikonia> #ubuntu alabd*!*@*
[19:51] <[segfault]> gGgG: yeah, that may help.. no ideas here atm.
[19:51] <StevenX> Ampelbein, I think I unmounted my CD rom drive, where i was running the live CD from
[19:51] <Ampelbein> StevenX: yes, that's what 'umount -a -l' does, it unmounts all mounted filesystems (except for /proc I believe). That was what you requested.
[19:51] <javahorn> itaylor57:  in the GetSoftware , i do some plugins, what you did next?
[19:51] <Starminn> coz_: I'll just keep working on it, thanks.
[19:52] <ikonia> #ubuntu Linux-CLI!*@*$#ubuntu-ops
[19:52] <StevenX> Ampelbein, yea, that's what I requested, so no fault there, except for me.
[19:53] <StevenX> Ampelbein, one second please. I have to put my laundry in the dryer
[19:53] <javahorn> erUSUL:  i  have to select any particular keyboard(vendor specific, i have samsung) , but i did select , it did not have desired effect, should i have to shut down to have effect?
[19:54] <javahorn> Hi Starminn
[19:54] <javahorn> :)
[19:54] <javahorn> i am into new ubuntu
[19:54] <Darael> I'm having some problems with Flash in 64-bit Ubuntu.  Have tested both repository-32-bit and native-64-bit flash player.  In any case, pressing the shift key is registered, but releasing it doesn't seem to be, unless there's a text-entry area in the Flash.  Example of places it can happen: http://ur1.ca/3cg3b
[19:54] <erUSUL> javahorn: no; you just select your language layout ( us es fr or whatever ) pc105 is pretty common model ( includes the window key and the menu )
[19:55] <arbitrary5> Query: What ext* does Ubuntu use by default, or how do I determine the ext* of a corrupt superblock?
[19:56] <MegaHerz> Hi. Is there a traffic accounting tool for small LAN?
[19:56] <Starminn> javahorn: Glad to hear it. And it thinks you have the wrong keyboard layout. :) Just follow what erUSUL is telling you, he's saying the same as I would. Just choose the language and the variant and you can test it out by typing within that window.
[19:56] <Starminn> arbitrary5: ext4
[19:56] <erUSUL> !info ntop | MegaHerz
[19:56] <javahorn> erUSUL:  Starminn  thanks, stuck with skype
[19:56] <javahorn> which plugin i  should install from software centre.
[19:57] <abe> ok plan b, I have 50 gb unalocated next to my ubuntu partion, how do i get ubunto to use it?
[19:57] <arbitrary5> Starman: Excellent. This will prove useful. You wouldn't happen to know if e2fsprogs package is included in LiveCDs would you?
[19:57] <erUSUL> ikonia: a little early for spring cleanup; isn't it?
[19:57] <javahorn> skype plugin for libpurple messengers will be fine, with video quality and sound_
[19:57] <erUSUL> javahorn: plugin? for what?
[19:57] <Starminn> javahorn: Well are you sure you need to use Skype? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeEthics
[19:58] <erUSUL> abe: resize the partition
[19:58] <erUSUL> abe: or move home to its own partition
[19:58] <javahorn> erUSUL:  for skype
[19:58] <ThinkT510> arbitrary5: yes
[19:58] <javahorn> Starminn:  yes, very much
[19:58] <abe> erUSUL it will only let me go smaller not bigger
[19:58] <erUSUL> !separatehome | abe
[19:59] <arbitrary5> Thinkt510: Then I may have finally found a way to fix my corrupted superblock. This is the happiest day of my linux career.
[19:59] <erUSUL> javahorn: never used skype; no idea sorry
[19:59] <javahorn> Starminn:  am i right place to install ie software centre, i do 4  or 5 plugins
[19:59] <Starminn> javahorn: So you're looking for a Skype plugin for Pidgin I take it? (thus libpurple)
[19:59] <abe> upottu i read that doc and decided to go a diffrent route here
[19:59] <erUSUL> !bot
[19:59] <ThinkT510> !yay | arbitrary5
[20:00] <arbitrary5> However, there is one other thing I need.
[20:00] <arbitrary5> I need to know how to get into my encrypted home directory and retrieve the important stuff. Last time I managed to unfsck it (it was a superblock uncorrupted the first time), I couldn't get into the data, and when I shut down to try to access directly from the OS it turned into a corrupt superblock on the way.
[20:00] <Darael> javahorn: If Starminn is correct and you want a skype plugin for Pidgin (or libpurple), install the pidgin-skype package.
[20:01] <javahorn> Starminn: skype plugin for libpurple messengers will be fine, with video quality and sound is fine then_
[20:01] <abe> wow this si confusing:) I am talking to myself, I am talking to bots :)
[20:01] <root> er i got bored and decided to enter irc from backtrack4 as root
[20:01] <root> woop
[20:01] <Guest23295> hi
[20:01] <javahorn> Darael:  Starminn which source_
[20:01] <arbitrary5> This would be a LiveCD getting into the data of the hard drive system.
[20:01] <erUSUL> arbitrary5: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-mounting-your-encrypted-home-from-livecd/
[20:01] <Guest23295> is there anyway to boot backtrack4 to hd without disk?
[20:02] <arbitrary5> erUSUL: This would have been really useful last time I unfscked it. Thanks.
[20:02] <erUSUL> Guest23295: ask in #backtrack-linux
[20:02] <Guest23295> how
[20:02] <erUSUL> Guest23295: /join #backtrack-linux
[20:02] <Darael> Guest23295: Type "/join #backtrack-linux" without the quotes and press enter.  Then ask in there.
[20:03] <abe> wtf: why wouldnt it let me make the partion bigger its unallocated
[20:03] <Guest23295> thanks
[20:04] <Dr_Willis> abe:  check primary vs extended. sometimes you cant expane a primary onto 'extended' space. or visa versa
[20:04] <javahorn> Starminn:  should i go ahead and install from search centre for purplemessenger one_
[20:04] <MegaHerz> erUSUL: thanks (for ntop). I thought its another kind of tool.
[20:04] <Starminn> javahorn: Try it and see. If it doesn't work try something else.
[20:05] <gGgG> Hello, I closed and opened my laptop and my pointer disappeared, (still working, but no arrow to show me where it is)
[20:05] <abe> this ubounto is punishing my for installing it on a 20 gb drive and wont let me fix it this sucks
[20:06] <Darael> gGgG: That sometimes happens to me - have you tried alt-tabbing between windows?  That usually brings it back for me.
[20:06] <gGgG> Darael: no, that doesnt help,
[20:07] <arbitrary5> Here goes nothing.
[20:07] <Darael> gGgG: Oh.  Sorry.  It was worth a try.  I'm out of ideas personally, maybe someone else can help.
[20:07] <[segfault]> gGgG: Have you tried going under System/Preferences/Appearance, then Customize/Pointer to try a different pointer set?
[20:07] <gGgG> [segfault]: no, ill try that now. restarting gdm didnt work btw,
[20:10] <javahorn> which command to start skype_
[20:10] <abe> can somone please help me, i installed ubunto on a 20gb partion and its out of room, anything i try wont work, i have an empty 150 gb hd that ubunto can use how do i get it to use it
[20:10] <gGgG> [segfault]: that didnt work either :(  javahorn : have you tried skype?
[20:11] <javahorn> gGgG:  trying, installed through search centre, libpurple etc, but how to start skype
[20:11] <ThinkT510> abe: how is your 20gb partition out of room?
[20:12] <abe> think Ubunto uses like 15gig and i instaled another 4 gig i need to compile a program that will need 4-5 gig
[20:12] <octavio-rdz1> hi room, I am wondering how can I make a computer with Ubuntu answer to its hostname like a Windows box does to its machine name in a homenetwok? does any know know how to do that?
[20:12] <ikonia> Cpudan80: need dns
[20:12] <ThinkT510> abe: what have you installed that takes up 15gb?
[20:13] <gGgG> javahorn: i dunno about libpurple, but have you tried typing "skype"
[20:13] <erUSUL> octavio-rdz1: assumiong you have avahi running just use hostname.local
[20:13] <erUSUL> octavio-rdz1: is default
[20:13] <gGgG> javahorn: in a terminal
[20:13] <abe> no i guess ubunto does
[20:13] <javahorn> gGgG:  yes, does not!!!
[20:14] <octavio-rdz1> erUSUL: actually does work :)
[20:14] <abe> is there a way to compleatlly remove ubontu and duel boot and start all over again?
[20:14] <Diplowski> so just dl'd this irc client and I want to connect to a server not on the list.  How is it done?
[20:14] <octavio-rdz1> I always just tried hostname
[20:14] <Gangrel> can someone help me on that :-------> sudo update-grub2
[20:14] <Gangrel> /etc/default/grub: 33: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution
[20:14] <KucukMubasir> erUSUL: , I log out and log in as you said
[20:14] <erUSUL> octavio-rdz1: XXDD
[20:14] <octavio-rdz1> thanks
[20:14] <KucukMubasir> however, that line added to ~/.profile didn't seem to make anything
[20:14] <ThinkT510> abe: yes, you can delete the partitions and make new ones
[20:14] <erUSUL> Gangrel: check line 33 of said file
[20:15] <abe> is there a way to compleatlly remove ubontu and duel boot and start all over again?
[20:15] <xtrac> repartition?
[20:15] <erUSUL> KucukMubasir: well; i dunno what the file you are sourcing does or how are you checking if it does or not does anything ...
[20:16] <abe> xtrac cant afford to mess up my windows if i delete the ubunto partion will i have a problem loging into windows?
[20:16] <ikonia> #ubuntu<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[20:16] <ikonia> #ubuntu<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[20:16] <Joss> Тут кто-нибудь есть?
[20:16] <erUSUL> !ru
[20:16] <ChogyDan> abe: why not just reinstall over top?
[20:16] <bazhang> Joss, #ubuntu-ru for russian
[20:17] <user> hi
[20:17] <ikonia> #ubuntu<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>ericblair!*@*$#ubuntu-ops
[20:17] <user> und jetzt?
[20:17] <Joss> Bazhang, thancs
[20:17] <abe> ChogyDan so far i did that twice, i have no ubunto installed 3 times, still boots to the one with no room
[20:17] <erUSUL> Gangrel: which is line 33 of /etc/default/grub ?
[20:17] <Shwaiil> hi ppl
[20:17] <Screw__> abe: this command makes some space: sudo apt-get clean
[20:17] <ChogyDan> abe: are you in ubuntu right now?
[20:17] <KucukMubasir> erUSUL: I am applying for the instructions here: http://rvm.beginrescueend.com/rvm/install/
[20:18] <Shwaiil> Q: A program freezed on ubuntu, how to close it ? thanks
[20:18] <Starminn> abe: When I started fresh on my Ubuntu (dual-booting Windows) I just wiped all Ubuntu partitions, then reinstalled to the same partitions (then unallocated space)
[20:18] <KucukMubasir> "The first time you install RVM, you must put the following line into your ~/.bash_profile at the very end, after all path loads etc:"
[20:18] <mr_shed> hi
[20:18] <pajero> my music files is wma format
[20:18] <Starminn> Shwaiil: "xkill" in Terminal
[20:18] <KucukMubasir> so, I need to put the respective lines to ~/.profile according to that, right?
[20:18] <abe> \i am in ubunto right now yes
[20:18] <pajero> i try palying this files but brokenly play
[20:18] <Jonii> How do I install support for Japanese text?
[20:18] <Shwaiil> Starminn,  thanks for looking! Is there a diferent way to do it ? just to know..
[20:18] <mr_shed> how do I make the background image in terminal static? at the moment it scrolls with new lines.
[20:18] <erUSUL> KucukMubasir: how do you know it is not working?
[20:19] <KucukMubasir> $ type rvm | head -1 should return "rvm is a function "
[20:19] <Darael> Jonii: System->administration->language support
[20:19] <Joss> JOIN  #ubuntu-ru
[20:19] <Jonii> Like, scim something something?
[20:19] <abe> screw_ that is a temp sulution i need to move off that 20gb partion
[20:19] <Gangrel> erUSUL there is no line 33
[20:19] <ChogyDan> abe: you could run baobab to see where all your files are
[20:19] <KucukMubasir> yet it returns rvm not found
[20:19] <gGgG> Shwaiil: theres pkill -  eg  pkill firefox
[20:19] <Darael> Joss: Try "/join #ubuntu-ru"
[20:19] <Jonii> Darael, been there, done that
[20:19] <Gangrel> erUSUL the problem begun when i tried to change the plymouth
[20:19] <erUSUL> Gangrel: then check the whole file
[20:19] <mr_shed> also, how do I go about installing gnome3? I want to install it to run alongside my current gnome (2.whatever)
[20:19] <gGgG> Shwaiil: or pkill -9 firefox   if that doesnt work
[20:19] <Darael> Jonii: That's odd, it worked fine for me.  What problems are you having with Japanese text exactly?
[20:19] <Starminn> Shwaiil: That's how I do it, anyway. xkill is by far the easiest in my opinion. Your other alternatives, though are to run "top" then "kill, pkill, killall," or whatever for the process ID (things vary for each command but the idea is the same)
[20:19] <erUSUL> Gangrel: you have a ` there not closed
[20:19] <Shwaiil> xkill worked, but the program opened a "select box" and its still on screen
[20:20] <brontoeee> erUSUL, is avahi running by default in ubuntu, osx ?
[20:20] <Jonii> Darael, I still don't know how to write Japanese
[20:20] <ChogyDan> mr_shed: I think there is going to be a ppa for the next release of ubuntu
[20:20] <Darael> Jonii: Ah, input.  Right.
[20:20] <Gangrel> !pastebin
[20:20] <StevenX> Hi. I'd like to have a shared partition for Ubuntu & Windows to read / write to. Does anyone know which file system would be the most efficient for this?
[20:20] <gGgG> Hello, I closed and opened my laptop and my pointer disappeared, (still working, but no arrow to show me where it is)
[20:21] <erUSUL> brontoeee: osx has its own implementation of zeroconf it does not use avahi. but yes both OS's and windows should have mDNS
[20:21] <Gangrel> erUSUL check that http://paste.ubuntu.com/573192/
[20:21] <erUSUL> brontoeee: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_configuration_networking
[20:21] <ThinkT510> StevenX: if you're dealing with files over 4gb then the only option is ntfs
[20:21] <Darael> Jonii: system->preferences->keyboard input methods, IIRC.
[20:21] <brontoeee> erUSUL, reading, thanks
[20:22] <StevenX> ThinkT510, I don't think I have any files ove 4gb, but I'd like to have that option, unless using NTFS causes other problems.
[20:22] <abe> well how can i tell bootloader to boot from the copy on the 150gb and not from the one on the 20gb drive?
[20:22] <bazhang> abe, where is grub
[20:22] <Darael> Jonii: Better yet, follow the instructions of someone who knows what they're on about: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/JapaneseInput
[20:22] <ThinkT510> StevenX: linux uses ntfs-3g to read/write to ntfs and it works very well for me
[20:22] <erUSUL> Gangrel: check line 9 you have funny " there
[20:23] <erUSUL> Gangrel: the opening one
[20:23] <klevi> hello, i have installed ubuntu desktop and i want to create web-server i have installed apache2 and its works but just with localhost not with my ip, my ip point to my login wireless router D-Link? Can u help me how can i make my ip point to my ubuntu apache2 ?
[20:23] <StevenX> ThinkT510, yes, I've had the same results. I think I will use NTFS. Thank you.
[20:23] <Jonii> Darael, they're for ubuntu 8.10?
[20:23] <ThinkT510> StevenX: np
[20:23] <Gangrel> erUSUL thanks bro :)
[20:23] <abe> grub is on the 20gb partion
[20:23] <erUSUL> Gangrel: no problem
[20:24] <erUSUL> Gangrel: put a plain " not the unicode one
[20:24] <night_owl> ok, how do you get out of man?
[20:24] <abe> bazhang grub seems to be on yhe 20 gb partion
[20:24] <Starminn> night_owl: "q"
[20:24] <erUSUL> night_owl: press q
[20:24] <night_owl> thanks
[20:24] <bazhang> night_owl, shift q
[20:24] <klevi> hello, i have installed ubuntu desktop and i want to create web-server i have installed apache2 and its works but just with localhost not with my ip, my ip point to my login wireless router D-Link? Can u help me how can i make my ip point to my ubuntu apache2 ?
[20:24] <brontoeee> erUSUL, so this is basically a sort of p2p DNS?
[20:24] <bazhang> whoops
[20:24] <Darael> Jonii: Further down the page there's instructions for Intrepid and other releases, but the top section talks about Lucid and Maverick.
[20:24] <Starminn> night_owl: Whenever a program in Termincal is running depending on what it is you either exit it with "q" or "CTRL+C"
[20:25] <erUSUL> brontoeee: i do not call it p2p but ok.
[20:25] <Dwade09> my sound icon is gone from the top bar how do i add it back up there?
[20:25] <erUSUL> Starminn: well that's a pretty broad oversimplificatio.... less quits with q but vi or emacs or nano use other key combos ....
[20:26] <abe> well how can i tell bootloader to boot from the copy on the 150gb and not from the one on the 20gb drive?
[20:26] <Starminn> Dwade09: Add to Panel...->Indicator Applet
[20:26] <Darael> Dwade09: It shouldn't have gone; it's part of your indicator-applet.  Is the envelope gone also?
[20:26] <kevin_> Hey guys, can anyone please help me with my wireless keyboard (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1691913) thanks ! :)
[20:26] <Dwade09> Starminn,  no not int here.
[20:26] <ThinkT510> !grub2 | abe
[20:26] <mr_shed> anyone know how to configure Terminal to have a static image background?
[20:26] <Darael> Dwade09: Which version of Ubuntu are you running?
[20:26] <Dwade09> Darael,  im running linuxmint 10 it does not have the envelope indecator
[20:27] <mr_shed> I can do this in Debian (it's standard behaviour) but not in Ubuntu for some reason
[20:27] <Starminn> mr_shed: Edit->Profile Preferences->Background
[20:27] <Josef_B> hi all .. how do i copy files from 1 directory to another .. is it cp -r *.* or cp * ?
[20:27] <Darael> Dwade09: We don't support Mint in here.  Ask in ##linuxmint instead.  Sorry to be blunt.
[20:27] <erUSUL> mr_shed: gnome-terminal ?
[20:28] <Dwade09> Darael,  its same thing as it would be in ubuntu 10.
[20:28] <erUSUL> Josef_B: *.* only matches files with a dot in the name. * matches all files
[20:28] <Starminn> Josef_B: cp /path/to/file /path/to/copy/point
[20:28] <Jonii> おう、これはこれは、ありがとうございます。
[20:28] <mindfire> Hello, i have been through the ubuntu docs but cant find the answer to my problem. why cant i see /dev/sda1 when logged on via a different user account? and how do i change this?
[20:28] <[segfault]> gGgG: Have you tried making sure you have the latest video drivers?  I read of this problem happening with Intel integrated video.
[20:28] <erUSUL> !jp | Jonii
[20:28] <Darael> Dwade09: There's no such thing as Ubuntu 10.  There's Lucid, which is 10.04, and there's Maverick, which is 10.10, but there's no Ubuntu 10.  I'm sorry.
[20:28] <mario713> #join mario713
[20:29] <Darael> erUSUL: Good try, but Jonii was probably testing Japanese input (just pointed them at the help.ubuntu.com page on it)
[20:29] <erUSUL> Darael: :P
[20:29] <sangha> lol
[20:29] <Dwade09> Darael,  10.10 come on now use your head ,
[20:29] <shcherbak> mario713: lol, /join #mario !
[20:29] <Darael> Dwade09: There's no such thing as Ubuntu 10.  There's Lucid, which is 10.04, and there's Maverick, which is 10.10, but there's no Ubuntu 10.  I'm sorry.  We don't support Mint in here.
[20:29] <gGgG> [segfault]: im running the livecd, and i havent installed the proprietory drivers. ,
[20:30] <Darael> Dwade09: Whoops, sorry, thought I hadn't sent that the first time.
[20:30] <gGgG> [segfault]: anyway dont worry about it, i can just restart if need be
[20:30] <mr_shed> erUSUL, yep
[20:30] <Jonii> Darael, ya, it was it was supposed to read "thank you very much" in Japanese
[20:30] <joel135> mindfire: try this program: sudo apt-get install pysdm
[20:30] <Darael> Dwade09: Mint makes changes from stock Ubuntu, we can't support it in here.  Take it to the Mint channel.
[20:30] <[thor]> I am using Ubuntu 10.10, and have just been automatically (without interaction) logged off, and dropped to the user login screen. Can anyone tell me where i would check for logs of recent activity or errors?
[20:30] <[segfault]> gGgG: ok, but if you do a full install and run into that issue, make sure you have the latest drivers installed.  g/l :)
[20:30] <Darael> Jonii: So it does.
[20:30] <mario713> scherbak: i know :P im just programing and entering on irc and got confused ^^
[20:31] <ThinkT510> !yay Jonii
[20:31] <Darael> [thor]: GDM's logs are a good place to start.
[20:31] <arbitrator> I have a problem.
[20:31] <erUSUL> mr_shed: Profiles>Edit Profiles> is not working?
[20:31] <mr_shed> Starminn, I know how to set the background but I can't get the image not to scroll. it seems there is no option for keeping the image from scrolling with the type (ie, every new line forces the image up and tiles the image)
[20:31] <ThinkT510> !yay | Jonii
[20:31] <pragmaticenigma> [thor]: it would be easier to diagnose the problem if we knew what you were doing prior to being logged out
[20:31] <Darael> !ask | arbitrator (this doesn't quite fit but...)
[20:31] <[thor]> Darael: you don't happen to know where i would find those?
[20:31] <arbitrator> I'm chrooting to my system from liveCD, and I've gotten to the point of logging in as myself, but I get "su: pam_start: error 26"
[20:31] <KucukMubasir> erUSUL: what is the bashrc file?
[20:31] <mr_shed> erUSUL, that works for setting an image as the terminal background. I just want that image to be static.
[20:31] <Diverdude> Is there a way to search IRC channels (by filtering /list command in xchat) ?
[20:31] <Darael> [thor]: Not off the top of my head, but I would guess in /var/log somewhere.
[20:32] <Dwade09> Darael,  i got it anyways its gnome-volume-control-applet && disown
[20:32] <KucukMubasir> is there any correlation between profile and bashrc ?
[20:32] <erUSUL> KucukMubasir: in you home. like ~/.profile ~/.bashrc
[20:32] <[thor]> pragmaticenigma: i was viewing a webpage using Chromium, downloading torrents using Deluge, chatting on IRC using XChat, and monitoring usage with Top.
[20:32] <Darael> Dwade09: Great, glad to hear you got it fixed.  Sorry for being somewhat unpleasant... I'm probably too tired to be on IRC.
[20:32] <JoshDreamland> Is anyone here on a VAIO?
[20:32] <erUSUL> KucukMubasir: both are using by bash. bashrc is read everytime bash startes profile only on login
[20:32] <JoshDreamland> If I can't find a way to fix the massive problems Ubuntu has with this VAIO, it's going back to the store
[20:33] <KucukMubasir> I know where they are, but these guide mentioning bashrc as if it is identical profile
[20:33] <pragmaticenigma> [thor]: did the web page have flash on it or make use of any third party plugins?
[20:33] <Diverdude> is there a irc-client which is so integrated in the shell that i can use various bash-programs from the client?
[20:33] <KucukMubasir> this guide is*
[20:33] <erUSUL> KucukMubasir: it is not
[20:33] <mindfire> Thanks Joel135, what will this program do and if i might just throw this in... im a total newbie at Linux so how easy will i destroy my system lol
[20:33] <Darael> Diverdude: Try irssi with its /exec.
[20:33] <[thor]> pragmaticenigma: not sure, but re-opening it after logging back in did not cause a logoff.
[20:33] <Ampelbein> mr_shed: uncheck the box "Scroll background image"
[20:34] <Starminn> mr_shed: Have you unchecked "Background image scrolls" ?
[20:34] <Dwade09> Darael,  in the good words of thumper off bambi mommy always says if you have nothing good to say dont say anything at all.
[20:34] <erUSUL> Diverdude: to search channels use the alis service
[20:34] <erUSUL> Diverdude: /msg alis list *string*
[20:34] <pragmaticenigma> it's likely a program faulted and took down X with it, causeing you to end up at the login screen... a good place to check would be under /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[20:35] <shcherbak> JoshDreamland: Vaio vgn-fw, all work but brigtnes adjustement, 10.10 64 bit
[20:35] <joel135> mindfire: it's a simple user interface that lets you configure hard drives. it will be located in System>Administration after install
[20:35] <mr_shed> I feel an utter idiot, I was certain I checked for that option. didn't find it before.
[20:35] <mr_shed> hmm
[20:35] <JoshDreamland> shcherbak: Your trackpad is recognized as a trackpad?
[20:35] <pragmaticenigma> [thor]: I've had sites that use a lot of flash advertisements cause me to get logged out because it crashed X-server
[20:35] <mindfire> Thank you Joel
[20:35] <JoshDreamland> shcherbak: And not just a regular mouse?
[20:36] <mr_shed> thanks Ampelbein, Starminn ... I really don't know how I overlooked that before.
[20:36] <JoshDreamland> I have no horizontal scrolling and no way to disable tap-click
[20:36] <Starminn> mr_shed: Not a problem.
[20:36] <[thor]> pragmaticenigma: checking this one, it has 4 flash-based banners
[20:36] <ubox> what do I need to install in ubuntu to get my video card to work correctly using vbox?
[20:36] <shcherbak> JoshDreamland: touchpad, mouse (my Kinzu hangs for second from time to time)

[20:36] <ubox> I want to increase my screen resolution
[20:36] <FloodBot1> klevi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:36] <night_owl> is anyone else running vuze? its really slow for me
[20:36] <Dwade09> Darael,  its funny how disney and a cartoon that was around back in the 80's could teach kids and people such a great lesson in life .
[20:37] <bazhang> ubox, within vbox?
[20:37] <pragmaticenigma> Has anyone had any problems with flash in Chromium or Chrome web browsers?  I have two installations of Ubuntu and one machine Chromium will not work with flash (plugin fails to load) the other installation everything is fine
[20:37] <ubox> yeah
[20:37] <SuShemSu> does ubuntu installer have a utillity to install without a keyboard *like an on screen keyboard thingy*
[20:37] <JoshDreamland> shcherbak: My main problems are that there's no way to disable tap-clicking, and the brightness control is completely FUBAR
[20:37] <ubox> bazhang,  I have ubuntu running in vbox
[20:37] <brontoeee> klevi, set router to forward port 80 to your server internal ip machine
[20:37] <klevi> brontoeee i have try it to do that
[20:37] <Starminn> pragmaticenigma: Chromium and Chrome ship with their own version of Flash, not related to what you have on your system.
[20:37] <bazhang> thats not possible as I understand it ubox perhaps confirm in #vbox
[20:37] <klevi> but i cant
[20:37] <pragmaticenigma> [thor]: It could be any number of things... if you can post the last 20 or so lines from /var/log/Xorg.0.log to pastebin that would help
[20:37] <klevi> my port 80 is open
[20:37] <klevi> but didt point to my ubuntu
[20:37] <Darael> SuShemSu: There's an on-screen keyboard available by default IIRC.
[20:38] <ThinkT510> ubox: installed the guestadditions?
[20:38] <pragmaticenigma> Starminn: I'm sorry but I do not believe you to be correct... if you right click on a flash animation you will see "About Adobe Flash"
[20:38] <Darael> Starminn: Actually that's not true, at least in the case of Chromium.  Chromium-from-the-repos uses the packaged flash-player.
[20:38] <JoshDreamland> Darael: onboard?
[20:38] <ubox> I didnt install guestadditions
[20:38] <sav123> ciao
[20:38] <ubox> ThinkT510,  should I install that
[20:38] <ThinkT510> ubox: yes
[20:38] <arbitrator> Can anyone help me with su: pam_start: error 26?
[20:38] <Darael> JoshDreamland: That's the bunny.
[20:39] <ubox> ok doing it now
[20:39] <Starminn> Darael pragmaticenigma: Ah, so it's only Chrome then, Well then, pragmatic, Chrome ships with its own. I guess Chromium uses the system
[20:39] <JoshDreamland> *curses at the VAIO as if it might fix something*
[20:39] <ubox> ThinkT510, virtualbox guest additions correct
[20:39] <shcherbak> JoshDreamland: Confirmative, tap is not issue fom me, birigtness - got used to manual control (funny but in 64bit it is more cubersome than in 32bit).
[20:39] <ThinkT510> ubox: thats the one
[20:39] <pragmaticenigma> So I guess my question would be more towards Chromium... anyone know how to get Flash to stop crashing in Chromium?
[20:39] <Darael> shubbar: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/index.html (for versions oother than Lucid just replace the "10.04" in the URL.
[20:39] <Darael> shubbar: Sorry, tab-fail.
[20:40] <ThinkT510> ubox: what's the host os you're using?
[20:40] <Darael> SuShemSu: See above.
[20:40] <ubox> win7
[20:40] <SuShemSu> thanks
[20:40] <ubox> ThinkT510,  win7
[20:40] <ThinkT510> ubox: you can install the guest additions from the virtualbox user interface
[20:40] <rhin0> any program which will instigate a macro (set of keystrokes) from a singe "hotkey" like a function key to perform a lot of operations
[20:40] <ubox> oh
[20:40] <cg2916> Has anybody tried the Alpha 2?
[20:41] <ubox> let me see if there is an option
[20:41] <[thor]> pragmaticenigma: the end of that log shows nothing but input device connections
[20:41] <JoshDreamland> Anyone else here have a VAIO?
[20:41] <Darael> cg2916: For prerelease versions, try #ubuntu+1
[20:41] <JoshDreamland> Maybe someone who got the brightness to work?
[20:41] <pragmaticenigma> you might have to go back further...
[20:41] <cg2916> ok
[20:41] <cg2916> Darael: thanks
[20:41] <pragmaticenigma> JoshDreamland: I didn't see the question earlier, can you please repeat it for me?
[20:41] <Darael> cg2916: No probs.
[20:42] <ubox> ThinkT510, do you know if there is an option in virtualbox manager to install guest additions or is there a link
[20:42] <[thor]> gah.. timestamps in internet time
[20:42] <ThinkT510> ubox: one sec
[20:42] <arbitrator> I'm SO CLOSE.
[20:42] <[thor]> or something similar... seconds after the great beginning
[20:42] <arbitrator> DAMNIT.
[20:42] <JoshDreamland> pragmaticenigma: My trackpad is recognized as a mouse (so I can't configure it), and my brightness can't be set
[20:42] <pragmaticenigma> [thor]: the time stamps are actually from boot time, 0 seconds from boot is the start
[20:42] <Darael> ubox: Virtualbox has a menu option when you start the VM (somewhere, my memory is a touch fuzzy) to install the guest additions.
[20:42] <KucukMubasir> thanks for your help erUSUL, I resolved my bash related problem
[20:42] <itMan44> salut
[20:43] <JoshDreamland> actually, the brightness can be set, but it behaves all wonky
[20:43] <pragmaticenigma> JoshDreamland: what graphics chipset do you have in your laptop?
[20:43] <Darael> !fr | itMan44
[20:43] <ThinkT510> ubox: when the vm is running it's under the devices menu
[20:43] <ubox> ok
[20:43] <JoshDreamland> pragmaticenigma: Some NVidia. I've installed the latest driver.
[20:43] <tech-2> what file do i have to uninstall to rid of the envelope in the notification area ??
[20:43] <pragmaticenigma> k, when you say you installed the latest driver, did you install it from the "additional hardware" tool?
[20:44] <ubox> ThinkT510,  do I have to stop virtual machine to go under settings of it
[20:44] <[segfault]> tech-2: right click on it and select 'remove from panel'
[20:44] <JoshDreamland> pragmaticenigma:  Originally. But then I had some problems, so I nabbed it from a different repository.
[20:44] <[thor]> pragmaticenigma: http://pastebin.com/jEMVQBc3
[20:44] <tech-2> lol [segfault]   not the whole thing, just the envelope
[20:44] <ThinkT510> ubox: no, select the option while the vm is running and it will mount it in the vm, just like you inserted a cd
[20:45] <Darael> tech-2: I'm not sure one /can/ remove individual parts of the indicator-applet.
[20:45] <shcherbak> JoshDreamland: hm, how?  "echo -n XX > /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness;" worked in 32, but not 64.
[20:45] <JoshDreamland> pragmaticenigma: The Additional Drivers tool shows the driver as well
[20:45] <tech-2> you can, i did it on another machine
[20:45] <pragmaticenigma> JoshDreamland: chances are that's where the problem is... you should try to stick with the drivers provided within the Additional Hardware tool... there is a good chance that the other package you installed may not be optomized or intended for your particular system
[20:45] <abe> I think I figured it out here
[20:45] <pragmaticenigma> I would install the driver available in the Additional Drivers tool... it should be more compatible with your system
[20:46] <[segfault]> tech-2: well, the panel is modular, so you aren't really removing everything, unless you mean you want the icon different, like a chat icon,etc.
[20:46] <ThinkT510> !yay | abe
[20:46] <JoshDreamland> pragmaticenigma: The Additional Drivers tool displays the driver I have now with [Recommended] next to it
[20:46] <pragmaticenigma> and is that one installed?
[20:46] <JoshDreamland> I believe the repository I added just gave it a more current version
[20:46] <JoshDreamland> and yes
[20:46] <pragmaticenigma> JoshDreamland: ah, okay
[20:46] <JoshDreamland> Activated and currently in use
[20:46] <tech-2> i did it 2 weeks ago on another machine, i just cant rermember what i was told to uninstall
[20:47] <abe> ThinkT510 yes indeed i did whoever sent me the link to the startup manager command is the winner today :)
[20:47] <Darael> tech-2: Closest-looking package I can see is evolution-indicator
[20:47] <ubox> ThinkT510,  when I click Devices -> Install Guest Additions nothing happens
[20:47] <JoshDreamland> This trackpad is killing me. It's so sensitive, it detects my ps changing the cursor position, like this. alm above it and clicks, thu
[20:47] <abe> thank you guys
[20:48] <pragmaticenigma> JoshDreamland: is this a clean install or did it just start happening?
[20:48] <ThinkT510> ubox: it usually downloads it first, can you see anything in the statusbar of the vm?
[20:48] <JoshDreamland> pragmaticenigma:  Clean install.
[20:48] <[thor]> pragmaticenigma: i have Xorg.0.log thru Xorg.5.log , is that a sequential naming scheme? should i be pasting Xorg.5.log ?
[20:48] <JoshDreamland> An update got the trackpad recognized as a mouse. The liveCD thought it was a knife sharpener.
[20:49] <[thor]> pragmaticenigma: Xorg.0.log.old ends with a Segmentation Fault error logged...
[20:49] <Darael> tech-2: You'll also need to remove indicator-messages.
[20:49] <tech-2> thats prolly it
[20:50] <pragmaticenigma> [thor]: anything prior to that seg fault line?
[20:50] <ubox> ThinkT510,  I see the cd mounted - do I need to run VBoxWindowsAdditions-x86.exe in the mounted disk
[20:50] <pragmaticenigma> JoshDreamland: What is the exact model number of that laptop
[20:51] <JoshDreamland> VPCF136FM
[20:51] <ThinkT510> ubox: it should offer to install the guest additions within ubuntu
[20:51] <[thor]> pragmaticenigma: http://pastebin.com/Te65BQu8
[20:51] <Darael> ubox: That file is the additions for a Windows guest, as the name suggests.  There should be something more suited to Ubuntu.
[20:51] <ThinkT510> ubox: .exe files are for windows
[20:51] <ubox> lol
[20:52] <Darael> ThinkT510: Not strictly true (they could be, for example, mono applications) but...
[20:52] <BajK> why is there no "Run as root" option in a file's context menu by default in Kubuntu?!
[20:52] <pragmaticenigma> [thor]: it would appear something was attempting to change your screen resolution just prior to crashing
[20:52] <ubox> VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
[20:52] <Darael> BajK: Perhaps because people shouldn't be regularly running files as root?
[20:52] <ubox> ThinkT510,  there is VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
[20:52] <BajK> Darael: and how should I then install something?
[20:52] <ThinkT510> ubox: that's the one, make sure you run it with sudo
[20:52] <pragmaticenigma> [thor]: were you trying to make something go full screen?
[20:52] <Darael> BajK: Well, you could use the package manager?
[20:52] <BajK> virtualbox addons require root to install them
[20:53] <javahorn> Starminn:  for any .deb file (google talkplugin), what i should select, open with or save file?
[20:53] <JoshDreamland> BajK: Open it in the software center, and it will prompt for auth
[20:53] <BajK> I am not talking about deb files or something
[20:53] <BajK> a .run file for example
[20:53] <Darael> BajK: In that case, you should open a terminal and prefix the command with sudo.
[20:53] <Starminn> javahorn: Just double-click it
[20:53] <BajK> Darael: and THIS is the stupid thing about it
[20:53] <BajK> why the hell do I always need a terminal..
[20:53] <Starminn> javahorn: Oh, open with
[20:53] <BajK> I mean, in Windows it's as simple as "click on vbox install.exe and thats it"
[20:53] <pragmaticenigma> JoshDreamland: there is a recommendation to install the nvidia drive that is previous to the driver marked as recommended (there should be two of them in the list, an older one and the newer one
[20:53] <BajK> in ubuntu.. well "mount the CD first, then open a terminal, then cd /media/vbox blabla and then sudo ./vbox*.run"
[20:53] <JoshDreamland> BajK: Which you got from where?
[20:53] <Starminn> javahorn: Sorry, I thought you already downloaded it. Yeah, if you save it you'll have to open it with the Software Center anyway so just saying "Open With...." saves you some time
[20:54] <BajK> JoshDreamland: many proprietary software is shipped as .run
[20:54] <tech-2> that was it, thanks
[20:54] <[thor]> pragmaticenigma: nope.. i had just viewed the webpage, and grabbed the scrollbar.. and the screen flashed purple ( plymouth? ) and then the login dialog came up
[20:54] <ubox> ThinkT510, do you you how to reference the cd media
[20:54] <JoshDreamland> pragmaticenigma: I don't see another one
[20:54] <ubox> is it just /media/vbox?
[20:54] <Darael> BajK: You don't "always need a terminal" (though you do in this case).    Even /I/ don't install .run files, because that's silly.
[20:56] <BajK> rww: tell this google and nvidia, not me
[20:56] <ubox> ok
[20:56] <pragmaticenigma> [thor]: no prob... it might have just been a system maintence script that just triggered the wrong response or modeprobe had a hiccup
[20:56] <JoshDreamland> BajK: Google and Nvidia know how to throw DEBs together
[20:56] <rww> BajK: Or don't use their crappy hardware that requires non-free drivers, which is what we do.
[20:56] <Darael> Guest76055: Hi.  This is a support channel - if you have a question, ask away, but if you want to chat, please go to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[20:56] <ubox> ThinkT510,  which command "run" ?
[20:57] <kong> question: so if i rsync something over the network to a samba share and rsync is is outputting chown errors, that just means rsync can chown it, but is still coping the files?
[20:57] <ThinkT510> ubox: sudo ./nameoffile.run
[20:57] <skor> How do you display and choose a kernel to boot from the command line ?  I'm not finding it in the docs so far..
[20:57] <pragmaticenigma> !offtopic | JoshDreamland, BajK
[20:57] <skor> I asked that earlier I know, but got side tracked and the buffer overflowed
[20:57] <ubox> that worked
[20:57] <BajK> JoshDreamland and rww: rofl. typical linux users. and This is the reason Nobody EVER will Linux on a wide range because of stupid things like THIS.
[20:57] <erUSUL> skor: press shift during boot if the grub menu does not show by itself
[20:57] <Darael> 19:41:42 < erUSUL> skor: if the grub menu do not appear when you boot. press shift to force it to appear
[20:57] <ubox> ThinkT510,  - that started the install why do i have to put ./??? I am newbee as you can tell
[20:57] <erUSUL> Darael: tyvm
[20:58] <ubox> I was able to cd / then did cd media
[20:58] <skor> I'm working strictly from the CLI on a remote rack server.. I'm not going to "see" what your suggesting
[20:58] <Darael> erUSUL: I try.  Sometimes I am not fast enough.
[20:58] <skor> what I want is to use the other kernel I installed
[20:58] <JoshDreamland> pragmaticenigma: Would you happen to know the version number of the recommended driver?
[20:58] <Fjodor> skor: Also, try google for "no grub menu at boot" and /etc/default/grub
[20:58] <pragmaticenigma> ubox: ./ tells the system you want to execute the program that follows
[20:58] <ThinkT510> ubox: ./ means it's executable (usually a binary or script)
[20:58] <erUSUL> Darael: :P
[20:58] <skor> Trying to figure out the "Ubuntu way" rather than just editing the file
[20:58] <rww> BajK: rofl. typical closed-source apologist. and This is the reason Nobody EVER will use open source on a wide range because of people buying hardware from non-free vendors like THIS.
[20:58] <skor> but the docs are not clearly telling me how
[20:58] <rww> oops, they left :\
[20:58] <ubox> got it thanks :)
[20:59] <Fjodor> skor: I can't remember what I did to that file, if it was commenting something out or changing a value, bit it inhibits the new default of hiding the grub menu
[20:59] <pragmaticenigma> JoshDreamland: No, I would not know the recommended driver... I would personally be tempted to reinstall from scratch
[20:59] <ThinkT510> ubox: np
[20:59] <erUSUL> skor: well editing the file and running "sudo update-grub" is the ubuntu way
[20:59] <ThinkT510> !yay | ubox
[20:59] <skor> Oh ok thanks.  Lol @ "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE DIRECTLY"
[20:59] <Fjodor> skor: The Ubuntu way is, as erUSUL just said, to edit files in /etc/default :-)
[20:59] <JoshDreamland> pragmaticenigma: It's crossed my mind, but at the moment I'm being paid to occupy this chair and do not have a liveCD at my disposal.
[21:00] <skor> oh right, different file then.  Ok thanks I'll figure it out now
[21:00] <ubox> ThinkT510,  still installing.  Just curious you said there is a terminal shortcut when you right lick a file?  I had to manually cd to media/ VBOX*
[21:00] <erUSUL> skor: that's for /boot/grub/grub.cfg *not* /etc/default/grub
[21:00] <pragmaticenigma> JoshDreamland: Are you using an actual trackpad? or just the area below the keyboard?
[21:00] <Darael> skor: Yeah, that's so that it doesn't get clobbered when the next update-grub runs (next kernel package upgrade, for example)
[21:00] <JoshDreamland> pragmaticenigma: Area below the keyboard
[21:01] <skor> Ahh, ok I see
[21:01] <Fjodor> skor: No prob, but as erUSUL also said, in this case running sudo update-grub after editing is also necessary
[21:01] <pragmaticenigma> that should have been recongnized as a mouse... just the sensitivity is set too high perhaps
[21:01] <ubox> ThinkT510,  its done now but I dont see a greater resolution than 800x600 - any idea :)
[21:01] <ThinkT510> ubox: i'm used to using xubuntu which uses thunar as the filemanager, when you rightclick in any folder there is an option to open a terminal in that directory
[21:02] <JoshDreamland> pragmaticenigma: my other laptop has a "Trackpad" tab that allows me to set things like  tap-click and horizontal scrolling
[21:02] <ubox> interesting
[21:02] <JoshDreamland> I have no horizontal scroll, and I can't get rid of this god-awful tap-click
[21:02] <brontoeee> ubox, there is nautilus addon as well
[21:03] <pragmaticenigma> JoshDreamland: there should be a mouse setting control panel in the sytem => preferences menu to adjust those features
[21:03] <ubox> nautilus-open-terminal you mean?
[21:03] <JoshDreamland> pragmaticenigma: I kow. I
[21:03] <JoshDreamland> GOD DANG IT
[21:03] <brontoeee> ubox, possibly
[21:03] <Darael> ubox: That's the bunny.
