[07:07] <chiliblue> Yup about 14 years ago was the last time I used a modem, racking my memory for details
[07:08] <chiliblue> with serial modems it was just a matter of port and baud rate surely.
[07:09] <CJRamze> I'm not sure how to access the modem other than via gnome-ppp
[07:09] <CJRamze> and gnome-ppp wont detect a modem at all
[07:09] <CJRamze> I was told it was because I was using a straight serial cable instead of a null modem
[07:09] <CJRamze> so I bought a null modem
[07:09] <CJRamze> and it still doesnt work
[07:09] <CJRamze> As before with Serial I'm totally clueless
[07:11] <Blue1> you understand that a null modem just has pins 2 and 3 reversed on 1 end right?
[07:11] <slikts> noobuntu
[07:11] <Blue1> it was 2,3,7 and 20 iirc
[07:12] <CJRamze> A friend did mention that but work paid for the cable so I figured during my time off I'd let them order the cable
[07:13] <m00ba> can srch_strings be piped stuff from stdin? or does it need a special option to be told to expect it?
[07:14] <murali_> @m00ba
[07:14] <m00ba> murali_, what's up?
[07:15] <Blue1> no you should be able to pipe as long as the strings are properly delimited
[07:17] <Jordan_U> m00ba: What is srch_strings?
[07:18] <m00ba> Jordan_U, not too sure...
[07:18] <m00ba> myself.
[07:18] <Jordan_U> m00ba: Why are you asking about it?
[07:20] <m00ba> Jordan_U, I think it's packaged with sleuthkit.
[07:22] <Jordan_U> m00ba: That doesn't answer my question. Why are you asking about it?
[07:25] <kubanc> hellow! Is it possible to run ubuntu parallel with windows XP, without virtualPC or Oracle VM VirtualBox ?
[07:27] <Jordan_U> kubanc: There are other virtual machine solutions, but you can't run two OSs on one machine at the same time without using some type of virtualization.
[07:28] <Danerd> Cou can install first Windows and then Ubuntu. Then youbwill be able to choose at the beginning wich OS u want to boot.
[07:29] <kubanc> Jordan_U, yes, i know that, but at work i cannot use Oracle VirtualBox because it's not free for comercial use...
[07:30] <Jordan_U> kubanc: You can use kvm if Ubuntu is the Host, or Virtual Box OSE (completely Free software, but missing some features like USB support).

[07:42] <kapz> less traffic means less helpers?
[07:42] <Talisman`Too> kubanc, you could also use VMPlayer (vmware free package) to virtualize.

[07:43] <bazhang> baagii, wrong channel
[07:43] <Guest2302> lol
[07:43] <KM0201> kx: it's unlikely that "less traffic means less problems"
[07:43] <Talisman`Too> Citrix' XenClient looks interesting to be able to run 2 OS's simultaneously.
[07:44] <kx> haha yeah it's ubuntu after all what am i thinking. should be 'fewer' not less anyway
[07:44] <Talisman`Too> wth is guest2302 CTCP'ing me for?
[07:44] <Talisman`Too> git!
[07:44] <kapz> okay, I have this lenovo Z570 laptop with nvidia hybrid graphics card, I have disabled nvidia but the videos I watch with integrated gpu are dodgy, bumblebee won't help either...is there any laptop w/o hybrid graphics card I can buy? I googled but couldn't find any
[07:45] <kapz> Without hybrid I meant dedicated graphics card....
[07:45] <kx> my latest problem is i cant ctrl-alt-fn any more to get to terminals. and my last system update shows errors on boot and i have to press a key to continue to boot for some reason
[07:45] <kx> ubuntu is such a disaster..
[07:46] <kapz> kx : what message do you get at startup?
[07:47] <undeclaredx> kapz: um, the video will always be dodgy without nvidia on.. you have to put it on to watch video, and leave it off otherwise.  that's how it's better.
[07:47] <kx> i dont know missing module or librayr something but looked for the module it's like a font or something so i think thats just the error that just happens to show up before the real problem
[07:47] <undeclaredx> That's the point of hybrid video
[07:48] <kapz> undeclaredx, yeah but I am unable to turn on the nvidia gpu!!
[07:48] <undeclaredx> now that's another story!
[07:48] <undeclaredx> =)
[07:48] <undeclaredx> well
[07:48] <LukeNukem> Is it okay to change the ownership of /var/ to 1000 ?
[07:48] <undeclaredx> Did you enable the nvidia restricted driver?
[07:49] <LukeNukem> ?_?
[07:49] <undeclaredx> not you ;0
[07:50] <kapz> undeclaredx, I have this nvidia optimus graphics card which is a hybrid gpu and there is no Linux support to it whatsoever, I tried bumble and OSS attempt to port optimus technology to linux...but even that won't help...that' why am looking for a laptop without hybrid gpu
[07:50] <LukeNukem> i know, i was doing ?_? to emphasis(sort of) my question :P
[07:50] <undeclaredx> oh, gotcha.. you did try the latest nvidia drivers yes?
[07:50] <kapz> why would you want to change ownership LukeNukem ?
[07:51] <LukeNukem> kapz, my www folder is there and i want to put a folder outside the www folders for file uploads
[07:51] <LukeNukem> so users cant access it
[07:51] <kapz> undeclaredx, nvidia DOES NOT support optimus on Linux>
[07:51] <fidel_> kapz: whats the problem with optimus?
[07:51] <LukeNukem> and only access it from a php script
[07:51] <fidel_> kapz: asking as it works ok for me - but i disabled the nv-part on linux ;)
[07:51] <undeclaredx> kapz: gotcha.   But then the answer is obvious -- there is no answer.
[07:51] <undeclaredx> solution, rather
[07:51] <LukeNukem> kapz, so like is it okay to do so because i got screwed when i did the same to /etc/
[07:51] <undeclaredx> then again, if it works for fidel =/
[07:52] <undeclaredx> LukeNukem: don't mess with those permissions without first knowing the default permissions.. and it's better not to though
[07:52] <undeclaredx> you can break your install flatout by messing with permissions wrongly.. and you'd have to run a live cd and fix them by hand like that
[07:53] <kapz> LukeNukem, changing ownership of system folders will land you in trouble unless you know Exactly what you are doing....if you want to create a folder then give it the permissions you require and not /var
[07:53] <undeclaredx> I agree
[07:53] <undeclaredx> it's way more practical that way
[07:53] <LukeNukem> kapz, ok nice idea
[07:53] <LukeNukem> but i cant create a folder in /var kapz
[07:53] <kapz> fidel_, I am not able to use nvidia gpu under bumblebee....optirun vlc will play dodgy videos
[07:54] <kapz> LukeNukem, you need to create folder using sudo or with root account.... sudo mkdir xxx
[07:54] <undeclaredx> kapz - I'm surprised about your issue, nvidia support has been flawless for ages on linux
[07:54] <undeclaredx> or maybe not flawless, but pretty sharp and they DO get it done eventually lol
[07:54] <undeclaredx> as opposed to AMD/ATI's.. we'll do it in 4 years
[07:55] <undeclaredx> I did hear that improved though.
[07:55] <LukeNukem> kapz, ok thx
[07:55] <kapz> yeah but not these hybrid ones, actually it's Linux limitation as per Nvidia....optimus makes good use of some windows technology...
[07:55] <undeclaredx> yea
[07:55] <undeclaredx> if you just bought it, just get a non-hybrid laptop
[07:55] <undeclaredx> or try the nvidia drivers (and maybe it'd be always on?)
[07:55] <kapz> fidel_, how did you get optimus working?
[07:56] <kapz> undeclaredx, yeah I bought it like 4 months ago but now I want to change, know any laptop with non-hybrid gpu?
[07:57] <AdvoWork> can anyone tell me the latest version of libreoffice/open office that wouldbe installed on ubuntu 12.04?
[07:57]  * the_legend is excited for 12.04
[07:59] <kapz> AdvoWork, why would you want to know that? ... maybe 3.5.1
[08:00] <the_legend> lol the libre office was created by the opensource foundation if i am not mistaken, so they should all work just fine with 12.04
[08:00] <kapz> they?
[08:01] <the_legend> * all the previous versions
[08:03] <the_legend> we are running 3.4.4 and that will work, they dont usualy brin out a libre office with each version of ubuntu, microsoft will usually create a new suit for each of there windows but it doesnt always work like that in the opensource world
[08:04] <the_legend> *bring
[08:04] <AdvoWork> kapz, im reporting a problem im having with libreoffice, its a new install of 12.04 and i can't get access to the client machine at this moment in time, so need the version before I can register, the problem is driving me insane
[08:06] <kapz> AdvoWork, check the about page, there the version no. should be listed.

[08:20] <ensignkim> hi does anyone know anything about dkms here?
[08:22] <KM0201> ensignkim: not really, sorry
[08:41] <fasta_> Why doesn't https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.20/+bug/88746 get fixed?
[08:41] <fasta_> 100+ users are affected.
[08:42] <fasta_> This is a problem which now exists for 5 years.
[08:42] <fasta_> Wasn't Ubuntu for 'human beings'?
[08:42] <overbythere> o.o
[08:43] <Fyodorovna> fasta_, just rational ones.
[08:43] <fasta_> Every time they just say one distribution is EOL and then ask someone to open the exact same bug again.
[08:43] <fasta_> It is really hilarious.
[08:44] <fasta_> Hint: if you haven't fixed it, it means it is still broken no matter what label you put on it.
[08:44] <husseycoding> does anyone here use ubuntu with intel hd graphics at all?
[08:44] <fasta_> Why do you even have a bug tracking system if you don't fix the bugs?
[08:44] <makara> hi.  I'm trying to find a document I wrote a long time ago. How can I search for text inside a list of files (it could be txt, rtf, odt etc) and set it to only look for files under 3mb in size?
[08:44] <jackbrownhf> hey does anybody know how to show the time on xchat ?
[08:44] <fasta_> You can better just have an e-mail address that doesn't resolve or something like that.
[08:44] <shape> husseycoding: What is your problem?
[08:44] <fasta_> That's cheaper for Canonical.
[08:46] <fasta_>  Even if there were, it would be a misuse of time to read through the 590 comments in this bug to determine what was of use. It is the Kernel Teams policy to close such bugs and have affected reporters open new bugs.
[08:46] <fasta_> Really, where do you get this stuff?
[08:46] <fasta_> Because you have too much people compaining, you complain about that.
[08:46] <husseycoding> basically I am looking to purchase a new machine, purely for business purposes, so no gaming etc.  I know performance of hd graphics is very basic compared to dedicated cards but I just want to know really if it's going to be sluggish running unity and can it cope ok with flash and so on
[08:46] <fasta_> You are even worse than the government.
[08:46] <xsl> guys how do i add vlan support to network-manager GUI ?
[08:47] <husseycoding> I typically have 4 desktops with around 6-8 applications open at any one time
[08:47] <xsl> is there a package?
[08:47] <shape> husseycoding: What CPU power are you looking at?
[08:47] <jackbrownhf> hey does anybody know how to show the time on xchat ?
[08:48] <Fyodorovna> jackbrownhf, in preferences
[08:48] <husseycoding> shape:  somewhere around the pentium G860 to core i3-2100 range, I am also looking at 8GB of RAM
[08:48] <auronandace> jackbrownhf: settings preferences enable time stamps
[08:48] <boba88> sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libfreenect.so.0.0 /usr/lib/libfreenect.so.0.1 sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libfreenect_sync.so.0.0 /usr/lib/libfreenect_sync.so.0.1 is one solution
[08:49] <jackbrownhf> Fyodorovna: i'm looking at it
[08:49] <shape> husseycoding: And you are afraid that's too low for Ubuntu?
[08:49] <jackbrownhf> Fyodorovna: thanks it works
[08:49] <shape> husseycoding: Or are you specifically thinking about HD playback?
[08:49] <Fyodorovna> jackbrownhf, cool.
[08:50] <Hoyt> hi , is there a minimal installation guide ? I don't want a complete desktop
[08:50] <husseycoding> shape:  no, I expect ubuntu to run very well  at that spec, at the moment I'm on a 7 year  old Athlon FX-55 with 2GB RAM but I regularly go to swap
[08:50] <Hoyt> I tried alternative cd , but seems you can't choose what to install
[08:51] <husseycoding> I basically want to get something that could potentially last another 7 years hence going for a pretty decent spec for linux
[08:52] <xsl> guys, i have vlan package... but wen i put the settings on /etc/network/interface and i do ifup eth0.100 ... network manager goes crazy
[08:53] <shape> husseycoding: Going by that philosophy, the more expensive. the computer is, the longer it will last if you think of it as lasting long in terms of not being outdated
[08:54] <shape> husseycoding: I'm just saying that because the top noch parts are usually the most expensive. But coming back to whether Ubuntu will run. Of course it will run on those specs. 8GB or RAM? That's more than enough. How is it working on your Athlon? I'm sure it's working fine since the system itself doesn't require much.
[08:55] <shape> husseycoding: It all depends whatever you decide to do on it, and what programs you will run.
[08:59] <husseycoding> shape:  yes indeed, but I'm not about to spend out a few thousand on a new machine for business use!  At the moment my old FX-55 runs very well, and even the most basic CPU's far outstrip it, ie FX-55 scores just 675 on passmark, while a celeron G530 scores 2262, so what ever I go I'm going to have a massive increase in speed.  The reason for a higher spec than ubuntu really needs is because I will be running virtual machines, possibly multiple, an
[08:59] <husseycoding> IDE, multiple browser instances, chat clients mail client etc etc.
[09:00] <rabbi1> how to upgrade komodo 6.1 to latest version in ubuntu 10.04 ?
[09:00] <husseycoding> I don't expect to reach the 8GB but I hope to also be able to run tmpfs
[09:03] <shape> husseycoding: To really find out how much RAM you need is to run all the applications that you'd be running on a different computer with enough RAM and see how much they take. That way you won't have to spend money on extra ram you might not need.
[09:04] <shape> Or programs (which I don't know whether they exist or not) that tell you how much swap is being used on top of the RAM, etc.
[09:05] <husseycoding> shape: unfortunately I don't have another machine to test that on.  but tbh the RAM isn't really the problem as that only equates to perhaps ┬Ż20-30 on top which isn't a problem, the graphics is more what I'm worried about
[09:05] <the_legend> @shape there is a cool screen let called system monitor that will show you all your porcesses and how much ram you are using
[09:06] <husseycoding> however I have just searched for hd 2000 on youtube and someone is managing to run GTA4 on it with basic settings so I suspect it will be able to handle unity desktop functionality fine assuming the drivers are sufficient
[09:07] <husseycoding> the fallback will be to take the graphics card from this machine and use it in the new one and use this one for terminal access only
[09:07] <the_legend> so install screenlets then open system monitor, google ubuntu screenlets. it will give you the sudo to install
[09:07] <shape> husseycoding: What graphics applications are you using? Because I have an Intel duo core 1.86GHz laptop with intel graphics integrated (doesnt even support Hardware acceleration) and I run Ubuntu with Unity fine and it play HD 1080p smoothly
[09:07] <greenit> hi, is there a program for linux which filters the voice for my micro? for example logitech has a windows-program where i can speak with some1 ove the net and his or her voice is filtered out, so that this person only hears me and no echo of herself / himself
[09:08] <patil_the_boss> Hi, i am getting undefined error __LINUX_ARM_ARCH .. please let me know where to define .. i am trying to crosscompile cpx210 for pandaboard
[09:09] <husseycoding> shape: thanks, sounds like it's going to be fine if you find it smooth.  the only graphics app I use is literally GIMP for tweaking client visuals
[09:09] <husseycoding> and flash is ok for you?
[09:10] <patil_the_boss> Hi, i am getting undefined error __LINUX_ARM_ARCH .. please let me know where to define .. i am trying to crosscompile cpx210 for pandaboard
[09:10] <shape> husseycoding: Yes. I play 1080p smoothly on youtube if that's what you mean by "ok"
[09:11] <shape> husseycoding: and My laptop (Toshiba Satellite L350 ) is worth 200$ now!
[09:11] <husseycoding> shape: hmmm actually just had a thought, virtual machines running Win7 - thats going to be a lot more taxing, any thoughts on that
[09:11] <husseycoding> lol, mine probably about the same  ;)
[09:12] <shape> husseycoding: Again, when you run lots of applications it's the RAM that is important since you need memory to run them all at the same time. CPU is only important when you actually start processing stuff.
[09:12] <shape> Like HD playback, my CPU goes to 99% because I have no Hardware acceleration
[09:12] <shape> yet it still plays smooth at 1.86GHz
[09:13] <shape> Keep in mind an iphone4 or Galaxy S (first gen) have a 1Ghz processor and they both play HD.
[09:13] <husseycoding> sure, but any thoughts on the ability of the HD graphics to handle virtual machines?
[09:14] <husseycoding> hmmm, this may just be a case of taking the plunge with integrated graphics and see what the results are you know
[09:14] <zizoo> How can I update my grub for the HD from a live USB? I messed up my boot and need to fix it.....
[09:14] <shape> husseycoding: I used to run VMware with windows XP on the laptop and never had a problem. But I don't think the Graphics matter in virtualboxes unless you are playing an HD movie in windows simulated in Ubuntu.
[09:14] <mydogsnameisrudy> !grub zizoo
[09:15] <mydogsnameisrudy> !grub
[09:15] <shape> husseycoding: However I would recommend to get a mid range graphics card that supports Hardware acceleration.
[09:15] <shape> husseycoding: Integrated ones work as well, ATI, nvidia, etc.
[09:16] <shape> husseycoding: My friend has an Acer Aspire One netbook (1Ghz single core) with ATI integrated and he runs Ubuntu and plays HD 1080 smoothly. I just saw it today actually.
[09:16] <Peanut> Hi folks - I'm trying to netboot/install a new machine, but although I give the kernel a command line that ends with "-- console=ttyS2,115200n8", I get no output on the serial port once the kernel boots. So the PXE over serial works, and it confirms loading the kernel and initrd, says 'ready', and then silence.
[09:17] <husseycoding> shape: yes I think thats wise, hardware acceleration is probably going to be required.  I'll have a look for some integrated solutions I think
[09:18] <shape> husseycoding: just anything will do. They are really cheap. But as long as it has H/W acceleration it should be good so it won't be so tasking on the processor.
[09:19] <husseycoding> shape: thanks for the thoughts, I'll have a look around and make sure hardware acceleration is supported
[09:20] <shape> husseycoding: On my desktop computer I have an Nvidia GTS 250 btw. And I can play everything very smoothly. My CPU is intel duo core 2.20 GhZ.
[09:20] <shape> husseycoding: That card for example is only 50$
[09:21] <zizoo> It's a bit confusing getting what I want from that document. See, a friend thought he could help fix some problems I was having... so he copied my linux partition to another part of my drive (out of an extended partition it was stuck in) via GParted, and then deleted the old one. It wouldn't paste back into the same exact place though when I tried to fix it (because it wouldn't boot). Now I'm just trying to figure out how to re
[09:21] <zizoo> store it to a copied Ubuntu partition. Not sure where to look for that in the Grub 2 documentation.....
[09:21] <shape> husseycoding: If you get something around the 100$-150$ range you won't even have to worry about it.
[09:21] <husseycoding> shape: ah ok thats interesting, because some of the machines I have been looking at have the GT 520 but the general consensus seems to be steer clear, however that is probably said from a gaming perspective
[09:21] <shape> husseycoding: Yeah, you said business. When it comes to games the GPU is very important.
[09:22] <husseycoding> yes indeed, used to be a gamer - no time anymore!
[09:22] <shape> husseycoding: but for HD movies it's a piece of cake (i.e. GTS 250 card). Again I'll use my example that even a single core 1Ghz phone can play 1080p.
[09:23] <Moon_Doggy> flash and ubuntu have come a long way since 8.04
[09:23] <Moon_Doggy> i think was 8.04
[09:23] <Moon_Doggy> !8.04
[09:23] <Moon_Doggy> yea thats it
[09:24] <husseycoding> shape: yes I think this discussion has made my mind up, just a basic graphics with hardware acceleration should be more than sufficient
[09:24] <shape> husseycoding: Also, in case you do get problems with choppy HD, look into VLC enabling GPU acceleration. And also VAAPI.
[09:25] <shape> husseycoding: some computers might need those drivers to run HD smoothly.
[09:25] <husseycoding> shape: thanks, I don't often need to play back HD video tbh, really just the odd youtube video/dvd an SD but will bear it in mind
[09:25] <shape> husseycoding: Yep. Again, I can vouch for my 2.20 duo core with GTS 250 and 2GB ram that I have absolutely no problem with HD playback.
[09:26] <husseycoding> great thanks
[09:26] <shape> Good luck!
[09:26] <husseycoding> cheers  ;)
[09:26] <makara> hi.  I'm trying to find a document I wrote a long time ago. How can I search for text inside a list of files (it could be txt, rtf, odt etc) and set it to only look for files under 3mb in size?
[09:31] <HaiKaiDo> anyone here know if theres any ARM version of Ubuntu 10.04 or 11?
[09:31] <shape> makara: Search: "Search for Files" < it's a program that comes with Ubuntu and it has all the options you are asking for
[09:31] <the-erm> HaiKaiDo: I haven't seen anything, but it's been a long time since I downloaded an iso.
[09:32] <HaiKaiDo> i thinking about playign with this
[09:32] <HaiKaiDo> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562138
[09:32] <makara> shape: how do I get to it?
[09:32] <the-erm> HaiKaiDo: that looks cool :)
[09:32] <shape> makara: What version of Ubuntu are you using? just type in the main search where you search for programs.
[09:33] <HaiKaiDo> but yeah those guys did an awesome job developing it
[09:33] <HaiKaiDo> all the hardware works completely
[09:33] <the-erm> HaiKaiDo: I did see something about installing linux in android's app store, but I was too chicken to try it.
[09:33] <HaiKaiDo> haha
[09:34] <makara> shape: 11.10. I don't search for programs, I have their icons pinned in docky. If I can't find something i go to the terminal and type it there, like 'xchat'
[09:34] <HaiKaiDo> the-erm,
[09:35] <HaiKaiDo> theres pretty much no risk to this i believe
[09:35] <HaiKaiDo> as it runs ontop of android
[09:36] <shape> makara: In terminal type: gnome-search-tool
[09:36] <HaiKaiDo> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server/arm
[09:36] <HaiKaiDo> What exactly is ubuntu server?
[09:36] <HaiKaiDo> does it come with no UI pre installed?
[09:36] <HaiKaiDo> cmd line only?
[09:37] <the-erm> I don't know.
[09:37] <the-erm> I think that regular ubuntu server comes with xubuntu, but I could be wrong.
[09:37] <HaiKaiDo> hmmm
[09:37] <angelsl> hi, how do i disable make's bash completion script?
[09:38] <makara> shape: wow, thank you
[09:38] <shape> makara: Np. Remember, google is your friend ;)
[09:39] <Fear_cult> anyone know how to use 7za to extract files only containing a certain string?
[09:40] <the-erm> Fear_cult: are you referring to the contents of a file, or a file name?
[09:41] <Fear_cult> contents of an archive
[09:41] <Fear_cult> i think ill just extract all and move the files i want to another dir then delete the rest of the stuff
[09:41] <the-erm> You mean contents of a file inside an archive.
[09:41] <HaiKaiDo> the-erm,
[09:42] <HaiKaiDo> seems like it comes with no GUI pre installed
[09:42] <the-erm> bummer.
[09:42] <HaiKaiDo> normally i wouldnt have any problems with that
[09:42] <HaiKaiDo> as i could just install one
[09:43] <HaiKaiDo> but since this is the first time ill be trying to install like this
[09:43] <HaiKaiDo> i dont want to introduce anymore chance for me to screw it up
[09:43] <HaiKaiDo> xD
[09:44] <the-erm> I've always wanted to make my own custom mp3 player.
[09:44] <HaiKaiDo> for linux?
[09:45] <the-erm> I got an android phone for < $100 not too long ago, but I don't like programming in java.
[09:45] <the-erm> I've done it with python & gstreamer.
[09:45] <HaiKaiDo> ahh
[09:47] <the-erm> It kinda annoys me you have to void your warranty just to delete crap-ware & demos off your phone.
[09:47] <honk> Howdy. just installing alarm-clock should make it appear in 'accessories' shouldn't it?
[09:47] <HaiKaiDo> meh rooting doesnt void your warranty with most carriers now a days
[09:48] <Moon_Doggy> the-erm, i know what you need
[09:48] <Moon_Doggy> botbrew
[09:48] <jackbrownhf> hey why command "rm *.exe" doesn't work for removing all exe file of the directory i'm in ?
[09:49] <the-erm> Thanks Moon_Doggy I'll look into it.
[09:49] <nopf> jackbrownhf: not it does? does 'echo *.exe' show them?
[09:50] <Moon_Doggy> the-erm, dev channel #botbrew
[09:50] <the-erm> jackbrownhf: perhaps there are files called something.EXE -- it's case sensitive.
[09:50] <honk>  just installing alarm-clock should make it appear in 'accessories' shouldn't it?
[09:50] <heatxsink> is jesse around?
[09:50] <the-erm> you can ls *.exe to get a list of the files.
[09:50] <jackbrownhf> the-erm: yes but i want to remove all .exe files from that  directory using ONE command
[09:51] <the-erm> honk: It depends if alarm-clock is a system tray applet or not.
[09:51] <nopf> jackbrownhf: use 'rm *.exe' then :)
[09:51] <jackbrownhf> nopf:  didn't works
[09:52] <nopf> jackbrownhf: yes, but why?
[09:52] <the-erm> ls -l *.exe perhaps you don't belong to the user/group or it's read-only for you.
[09:52] <honk> i think theer is an applet. not sure what that means
[09:53] <the-erm> honk: what windows manager are you running?
[09:53] <the-erm> if it's unity or gome3 someone else so going to need to help you :)
[09:53] <the-erm> it appears that the package alarm-clock isn't an applet.
[09:54] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[09:54] <the-erm> so alt+f2 and typing alarm-clock should start the program.
[09:55] <honk> sorry im using lubuntu atm as im not sure what to use to get to this forum in ubuntu. does it have xchat?
[09:55] <the-erm> lubuntu is great.
[09:55] <daev_> if i've installed roundcube with aptitude, and it installed version 0.5, and now I want 0.7.2 I must install it manually. What's the best method? should i uninstall roundcube by the package manager first?
[09:56] <honk> lubuntu IS great
[09:58] <honk> ill be back in ubuntu
[09:58] <MonkeyDust> !info roundcube
[09:59] <the-erm> honk: I installed the package alarm-clock and the name of the program is actually alarmclock
[10:00] <MonkeyDust> the-erm  yes, and it says 'tempalte' instead of 'template'
[10:08] <robrecht> Hi everyone, I have a permission problem. There is a .py file I want to edit but when I change something in it I get "Error Writing filename.py:Read-only file system".
[10:08] <robrecht> I did "sudo nano filename.py" and tried to edit, but it gives the same error
[10:08] <thinced> robrecht: problem is in your filesystem
[10:09] <robrecht> I mean tried to save the edit
[10:09] <robrecht> Hm, so what should I do?
[10:09] <thinced> it is broken and therefore is in the ro mode
[10:09] <robrecht> How do I change this ro mode?
[10:09] <thinced> you can reboot your computer and see if it automatically launches fsck
[10:10] <thinced> if not you need to manually run fsck
[10:10] <robrecht> ok, thnx. Ill reboot and see what I get
[10:10] <robrecht> thnx!
[10:11] <thinced> best way to do that manually fixing is to go into singleuser mode and then run ie.  fsck /dev/sda**
[10:12] <the-erm> I wonder if he was trying to edit a file on a cdrom.
[10:12] <robrecht> ok , ill try to reboot fits though
[10:12] <robrecht> on my main drive
[10:13] <robrecht> I was fiddling with cherrypy
[10:13] <the-erm> ok.
[10:13] <honk> ok worked out my alarm-clock problem (installed it and xchat in terminal). Theres no particularly good reasons to use the software centre (2.0.7) is there?
[10:13] <robrecht> I think that somehow changed my file permissions
[10:14] <the-erm> ls -l <filename> will give you the permissions.
[10:14] <the-erm> and the group.
[10:14] <robrecht> its -rw-rw-r-- 1
[10:14] <robrecht> for that file
[10:15] <the-erm> I don't see why sudo nano <filename> wouldn't work.
[10:15] <the-erm> Unless nano isn't installed.
[10:15] <robrecht> it is
[10:17] <the-erm> I have no original thoughts.  Perhaps it is a locked file because it's corrupted :)
[10:17] <robrecht> Lol, I can't even create a folder on my Desktop anymore
[10:17] <robrecht> just checked
[10:17] <grud_> hmm why did my xchat nickname just change? said name is in use
[10:18] <the-erm> Of course I don't edit anything in /usr/ or /bin/ .
[10:18] <the-erm> robrecht: that would scare me.
[10:18] <robrecht> it does : s
[10:18] <the-erm> I hope you keep good backups.
[10:19] <robrecht> Nope : (
[10:19] <the-erm> A file doesn't exist unless it's in 3 places :)
[10:19] <robrecht> ? I didn't know that
[10:19] <robrecht> Oh, u mean i should have at least three copies
[10:20] <robrecht> for good measure
[10:22] <the-erm> robrecht: you should have 1 copy on your working drive, 1 on a backup drive, and 1 off-site backup (in case of theft or fire)
[10:22] <robrecht> Thnx for the advice
[10:22] <the-erm> Blame Leo Laporte.  He's always going off about it in his podcasts.
[10:23] <robrecht> i'm trying to save the log to see what thinced wrote but I can't save anything anymore to my computer
[10:24] <n00> i'm getting lots of 404's when i run `apt-get update` ?
[10:25] <robrecht> I'm gonna reboot windows user style and see if it gets me anywhere further
[10:25] <the-erm> good luck.
[10:25] <robrecht> thnx.
[10:26] <the-erm> n00: apt-get update works fine over here.

[10:30] <iceroot_> n00: 11.10 != 10.10

[10:32] <iceroot_> n00: what about 11.10 is not 10.10 you did not get?
[10:33] <iceroot_> n00: you said you have 10.10

[10:46] <amal> iceroot_:  i am new  to ubunut
[10:47] <iceroot_> amal: uninstall on self compiled software is not that easy mostly
[10:47] <iceroot_> amal: can you show us the source of the program where you get it and what you did?
[10:47] <iceroot_> amal: and what should that software do? maybe there is a better option in the repos
[10:50] <amal> iceroot_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/943900/
[10:50] <iceroot_> amal: which ubuntu version? what error message you get?

[10:53] <iceroot_> the-erm: looks like a complete windows software

[10:54] <sveinse> I'm running natty and I want to run a VBox guest machine. However, since a few month ago, I need to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup each and -every- time I want to start Vbox. Anyone with similar issues
[10:54] <the-erm> It says it's a "clone" which leads me to believe you can send win-popup messages, however I'm not certian.
[10:54] <iceroot_> the-erm: win-popup is not working for years anymore
[10:54] <sveinse> Likewise I also need to run sudo update-binfmts --enable qemu-arm after every boot to allow armel code execution
[10:56] <the-erm> sveinse: It might not be enabled to run.
[10:57] <the-erm> I forget the command to enable/disable /etc/init.d/ scripts.
[10:57] <amal> iceroot_: 11.10
[10:58] <amal> iceroot_:  when i open of refresh user list the error comes
[10:58] <iceroot_> amal: report the issue to the maintainer of that program
[10:59] <jackbrownhf> hey there, I would like to change my laptop, Could anyone suggest me a good configuration ?? if for example someone has something in mind a laptop that he's thinking to buy i'd appreciate a suggestion about
[10:59] <amal> iceroot_: how can i get the persons details?
[10:59] <iceroot_> jackbrownhf: ##hardware
[10:59] <jackbrownhf> iceroot_: thanks
[10:59] <iceroot_> amal: see the infos of the project homepage
[11:00] <iceroot_> amal: or the maintainer from the ppa of the ppa website
[11:00] <amal> ok
[11:09] <bouma> when looking for existing bug reports eg.. for a particular release of ubuntu and a particular program/package, is bugs.launchpad.net the place?
[11:10] <n00> iceroot_: hey, this fixed it - thanks!
[11:18] <iceroot_> n00: you are welcome
[11:18] <iceroot_> bouma: yes
[11:19] <iceroot_> bouma: https://bugs.launchpad.net/packagename  to go directly to it
[11:19] <bouma> iceroot_: basically i cant find an existing bug but, ive used 'update manager' and it showed some important security updates. then i went into settings and changed it to download automatically, then closed the 'settings panel' and updatemanager added the currently pending important security updates to the list again. i can take a screen cap.
[11:19] <ahhughes_> when I play an mpg (or several other formats) I get warnings that I need to install plugins... is there  a media package I should install?
[11:19] <iceroot_> bouma: so your issue is that the update manager wants to redownlaod the package?
[11:20] <MonkeyDust> ahhughes_  try restricted areas
[11:20] <the-erm> ahhughes_: which program?
[11:20] <iceroot_> bouma: ah the issue is that it is not automaticly downloading
[11:21] <bouma> iceroot_: no my issue is that the list displayed by update manager duplicates the info. actually it lists the same 3 things 3 times, for a total of 9 entries, 6 are duplicates
[11:21] <iceroot_> bouma: download a package does not mean install the package, so its correct that it is remebering you about the update
[11:21] <iceroot_> bouma: can you paste a screenshot?
[11:21] <iceroot_> !paste | bouma
[11:21] <bouma> iceroot_:yes im uploading
[11:21] <iceroot_> bouma: thank you
[11:21] <ahhughes_> the-erm, I think MonkeyDust has solved it, thanks guys (but for the record cinerella)
[11:22] <the-erm> ahhughes_: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse should
[11:22] <the-erm> get you some of the stuff you need.
[11:23] <ahhughes_> excellent, I'll try the restricted extras and see how I go :)
[11:24] <the-erm> I forgot you might have to enable those repos.
[11:25] <ahhughes_> the-erm, its funny.. it gives me a warning... then it plays it anyway
[11:29] <bouma> iceroot_: http://imgur.com/hj1Rr here is the bug showing repeated security update items
[11:29] <bouma> iceroot_: i havent closed the window in case there is more data i can collect
[11:31] <iceroot_> bouma: can you paste the output of "apt-cache policy chromium-browser"?
[11:32] <the-erm> There was a big open-ssl vulnerability in this last week.
[11:32] <the-erm> It got fixed pretty fast.
[11:42] <samuel_> hi, i'm having difficulty logging into phpmyadmin on my ubuntu server, there is no error message :/
[11:45] <KM0201> samuel_: did you try asking in #ubuntu-server  ?(i'm not really familiar with php)
[11:46] <zlszk> i make ztelnet,error:/usr/include/stdlib.h:589: note: previous declaration of ŌĆśunsetenvŌĆÖ was here,anyone knows how to solve this problem
[11:47] <samuel_> thanks, i will try that first
[11:47] <zlszk> i make ztelnet,error:/usr/include/stdlib.h:589: note: previous declaration of ŌĆśunsetenvŌĆÖ was here,anyone knows how to solve this problem
[11:48] <bouma> iceroot_: http://pastebin.com/mtHaMCbh here is ap-cache policy chromium-browser
[11:52] <Pici> zlszk: ztelnet is in the package repositories in the zssh package.
[11:52] <iceroot_> bouma: you should open a bug against the update-manager, add your screenshot and the output of apt-cache policy to that bug. the bug seems that tere are more then one sources for the patch with the same version
[11:52] <iceroot_> !bug | bouma
[11:53] <bouma> iceroot_: so is there any other info i can collect from the running program or should i just close it. i may be able to recreate it
[11:53] <zlszk> Pici, thanks!
[11:54] <iceroot_> bouma: i guess the screenshot + apt-cache policy are enough for the bug report
[11:54] <bouma> iceroot_: because at first the list was not duplicated, it was after i clicked on settings, made changes and returned
[11:54] <iceroot_> bouma: you can install the packages, there is no critical bug on that, just a display error
[11:54] <iceroot_> bouma: provide that info too on the bug report but i guess the bug is the oneiric-updates and oneiric-security repo
[11:55] <bouma> iceroot_: right, but its good to get bugs recognised that may lead to code errors with multiple implications
[11:55] <iceroot_> bouma: of course
[11:57] <Qalqi> ack doesnt install on my computer

[12:01] <Chr|s>  I am having problems dual booting after installing ubuntu. I have a 500gb drive. Installed Win7 first then installed xubuntu. installed alongside win7. Installation was done, rebooted and now unable to login to ubuntu, Windows automatically loads
[12:04] <KM0201> Chr|s: did you use wubi, or did you set up a traditional dual boot?
[12:04] <BuffBuffBuff> http://i.imgur.com/c2EdL.png     How can i open this from command line?
[12:04] <Chr|s> KM0201, traditional
[12:04] <Chr|s> same partition
[12:04] <Chr|s> I mean same hard drive
[12:04] <KM0201> Chr|s: most likely grub didn't get installed to the MBR for some reason
[12:05] <KM0201> i've also had this happen, when a drive had to many primary partitions.
[12:05] <Chr|s> hmm can only have 4 primary patitions right?
[12:05] <KM0201> (this can happen because you've typically got your "C:" partition, then you've got a restore partition, then you've usualy got some sort of other crap partition... you can only have 4 primary's
[12:05] <Chr|s> hmm
[12:06] <KM0201> Chr|s: when this has happened to me in the past.
[12:06] <KM0201> i had to manually partition, usually making the swap logical, solved hte problem... (assuming you have a simple default install with just a /swap and a /)
[12:07] <Connectweb> Hey Guys...i need some help with installing a windows app through wine
[12:07] <Chr|s> KM0201, yup this is exactly what happen
[12:07] <Chr|s> Darn windows and system reserved files
[12:07] <KM0201> Chr|s: yup, it's become more and more of a problem since manufacturers want to create 5-6 partitions on their drives now
[12:08] <Connectweb> i need to install coreldraw on ubuntu...can anyone help?
[12:08] <Chr|s> Connectweb, try #wine or check the app database on winehq.org
[12:08] <Chr|s> they may have a work around
[12:09] <Pici> Chr|s, Connectweb: the channel is #winehq
[12:09] <Chr|s> oops
[12:09] <Chr|s> looks like I have to reinstall both windows and ubuntu again :/
[12:10] <KM0201> Chr|s: no.. you can just reinstall Ubuntu
[12:10] <KM0201> over the ubuntu partition you just made, only this time, partition manually, and set it up
[12:10] <Chr|s> KM0201, for some reason I have 4 partitions on the disc, where I just want two for windows and ubuntu
[12:11] <Steevca> Can i use this theme with unity?
[12:11] <Steevca> http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/malys+-+RevolT+%26+RevoLT+?content=150126
[12:11] <KM0201> Chr|s: i dunno, i don't do windows, i can't imagine why Windows would have so many partitions
[12:12] <Chr|s> KM0201, if I use gparted and partition manually 250 Win7 and 250 Ubuntu and install them seperately will that work?
[12:12] <ahhughes_> cinelerra is doing my head in, are there any other recommendations for a video editor that can cut segments from video?
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> ahhughes_  there's pitivi and openshot
[12:13] <KM0201> Chr|s: are you installing win 7 from cd?
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> ahhughes_  and kdenlive
[12:13] <Chr|s> KM0201, yes
[12:14] <KM0201> Chr|s: but honestly, you don't need to reinstall windows 7 (at least you usually don't)
[12:14] <ahhughes_> cheers MonkeyDust
[12:15] <KM0201> Chr|s: also, 250gigs for Ubuntu is crazy big.. you might want to short cut a folder that is on your 7 partition, and keep all data there, then just create a more "normal" ubuntu partition, say 15-20gigs.. but.. thats just my opinion
[12:15] <KM0201> it also makes it easier to share data between the two OS's
[12:16] <Chr|s> KM0201, I have a another drive that is 1TB that I use for that
[12:16] <KM0201> oh ok.
[12:16] <KM0201> Chr|s: i'm not that familiar with win 7, so i'm always concerned w/ windows running out of space
[12:16] <Chr|s> KM0201, Yeah, I turn off page file and only use windows for games
[12:17] <KM0201> okk
[12:17] <Qalqi> this is a pseudo channel
[12:17] <Qalqi> 1600 members but no one cares
[12:18] <MonkeyDust> Qalqi  they may not all be at their desks
[12:18] <KM0201> Qalqi: or maybe nobody that is currently here, knows the answer to your question
[12:18] <iceroot_> Qalqi: best to wake up the 1600 members is with usefull questions, usefull details
[12:19] <iceroot_> Qalqi: everything else is not read here
[12:20] <KM0201> iceroot_: you're not really suggesting that " <Qalqi> ack doesnt install on my computer " isn't descriptive are you?
[12:20] <iceroot_> KM0201: that is so useless
[12:20] <iceroot_> KM0201: no usefull infos in that part
[12:21] <KM0201> thus my point (that was the only thing i saw him post)
[12:21] <Qalqi> it says waiting for headers
[12:21] <Qalqi> i posted that too
[12:21] <iceroot_> Qalqi: what command you used, what is the extact error?
[12:21] <iceroot_> !paste | Qalqi
[12:22] <JuJuBee> After fresh install of 11.10, I am using KDE but when I installed rhythmbox, the icons for Repeat and Shuffle are broken images...? any ideas?
[12:22] <iceroot_> JuJuBee: missing dependecy to icons as it seems
[12:22] <iceroot_> !bug | JuJuBee
[12:22] <janisozaur> s
[12:23] <JuJuBee> iceroot_: not sure it is a bug or my ignorance...
[12:23] <JuJuBee> Suggestions as to how to fix? or try anyway?
[12:23] <Qalqi> seems like i offended too many people
[12:23] <iceroot_> Qalqi: still waiting for usefull infos :)
[12:23] <Qalqi> nevermind abt my q
[12:23] <MonkeyDust> Qalqi  offending people is never a good idea
[12:23] <Qalqi> it worked this time
[12:24] <mario_>  /join #ubuntu-it
[12:24] <iceroot_> JuJuBee: you changed the default theme?
[12:24] <iceroot_> JuJuBee: mostly the default theme is tested, if using something else its possible to face bugs like that
[12:24] <JuJuBee> iceroot_: in rhythmbox?
[12:25] <JuJuBee> or the OS?
[12:26] <iceroot_> JuJuBee: in kde
[12:26] <MonkeyDust> is amarok more suited for kde?
[12:26] <MonkeyDust> isnt*
[12:26] <iceroot_> MonkeyDust: it is
[12:27] <iceroot_> MonkeyDust: but an overkill sometimes
[12:27] <JuJuBee> iceroot_: Ah, yes I did.  I had rhythmbox  installed prior to reinstall OS and it was fine.  Seems very basic (the rhythmbox look and feel - theme)
[12:27] <JuJuBee> Like I didn;t install some library...

[12:28] <Jouke> Hi, does anyone have knowledge of installing vmware on ubuntu 11.10?
[12:29] <iceroot_> !vmware | Jouke
[12:30] <Jouke> Ah, thank
[12:30] <osse> Ubuntu lets me type 'man git status'. On other distros I've used (old ones admittedly) I would have to type 'man git-status'. What is the magic sauce Ubuntu uses? I can still run the command as 'git status' on the other distros I mentioned
[12:32] <pancro> jmp: you rang?
[12:34] <donavan01> does anyone know why I would have issues using sites like pastebin.com or paste.ubuntu.com ... anytime I go into one of these sites it loads just fine but as soon as I try to actually paste anything it sits there waiting till it times out any idea... its only on my ubuntu install not on my windows machine
[12:35] <reisi> osse: interesting point; try "man apt key"
[12:35] <krypton> hey guys i am new to linux and have a question and I wonder if you can help me.....i have ubuntu but 2 friends and a few articles i read said that unity is not as secure as gnome so I google "gnome vs unity on privacy, safety and security" and then I notice on distrowatch when I do a search for security or privacy or fire wall they all have gnome or I386 ....so why did ubuntu moved away from gnome?
[12:36] <Pici> osse: good question...  it seems to work just fine when doing man git-status as well.
[12:36] <osse> reisi, unfortunately, I'm not on Ubuntu at the moment :/
[12:37] <krypton> and can i turn my ubuntu 11.10 into gnome?
[12:37] <auronandace> krypton: it didn't move away from gnome, unity is built on gnome3, gnome2 is a dead project now
[12:38] <reisi> osse: apparently man will just concat args with '-' while searching, couldn't get it working for 3 args though; perhaps "git" includes a hint that concatenating might produce more accurate man page?
[12:38] <krypton> so the articles I read on google on unity vs gnome are wrong?
[12:38] <donavan01> krytpton ... yes you can just install the gnome desktop manager ... personally I use XFCE on 11.10
[12:38] <mpkossen> Hoyt: try the server CD image, it doesn't install a graphic desktop. You can add packages from there
[12:38] <auronandace> krypton: not sure what articles you are referring to but unity is built on top of gnome3
[12:38] <auronandace> !unity | krypton
[12:39] <Pici> krypton: unity is a shell for gnome, but it is not gnome-shell (which is what people typically think of when referring to gnome 3)
[12:39] <krypton> but does that compromises gnome  privacy, safety and security?
[12:40] <reisi> osse: looking through strace man git status, it would appear that man selects "git status" page from it's index
[12:40] <mpkossen> Krypton: unity vs gnome-shell doesn't have to do with security, because I believe that was your initial concern
[12:40] <willian> Hi
[12:40] <krypton> yes
[12:40] <willian> everybody.
[12:40] <willian> I
[12:40] <mpkossen> Unity vs Gnome Shell is about how your desktop looks. Security doesn't have anything to do with that.
[12:40] <krypton> well the article I read said that unity has holes that can be hacked
[12:41] <MonkeyDust> krypton  link?
[12:41] <krypton> and most secure distros are build on gnome
[12:41] <willian> I want to toking..
[12:41] <krypton> http://www.technewsworld.com/rsstory/72737.html
[12:41] <willian> i love you
[12:41] <osse> reisi, I have a command on my current system called 'adsl-connect'.  'man adsl-connect' works and 'man adsl connect' gives me the same page as 'man connect' would
[12:41] <willian> fpoos
[12:41] <willian> exit
[12:41] <ikonia> willian: stop now
[12:41] <ikonia> willian: this channels topic is ubuntu support discussion only
[12:41] <willian> why
[12:41] <jankud> If I setup Ubuntu on VirtualBox will I be able to install it "normally" on another machine later?
[12:41] <osse> reisi, huh. Interesting
[12:42] <auronandace> krypton: secure distros built on gnome? gnome is just a desktop environment
[12:42] <krypton> http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/gnome-shell-vs-ubuntu-unity-which-desktop-wins/2291
[12:42] <ikonia> krypton: ignore
[12:42] <krypton> just ignore it?
[12:42] <iceroot_> jankud: install?
[12:42] <ikonia> krypton: I'll write a web page that says Distros built on minix are better than fedora for security, it doesn't make it fact
[12:42] <krypton> i am new so i do not know what to believe
[12:42] <iceroot_> jankud: you mean copy the vm to real hardware?
[12:42] <jankud> iceroot_: exacly
[12:42] <willian> ikonia:really?
[12:42] <ikonia> krypton: anyone can put up a webpage,
[12:42] <MonkeyDust> krypton  as soon as the ubuntu community sees that someone has bad intentions, they will react
[12:42] <iceroot_> jankud: yes its possible
[12:43] <krypton> lol true
[12:43] <donavan01> krypton ... technically any system can be hacked the trick is does anyone really know how or are they just conceptualizing that it could be done under these curcumstances... then you have to ask is this a hack that can be done locally or remotely ... if your the only one using your computer and the hack is a local hack what are the changes the hacker is going to break into your house and hack your laptop... if you have that
[12:43] <donavan01> kinda of person after you then you have way bigger problems than an unsecured desktop manager
[12:43] <krypton> so how can I make my ubuntu safer what should i add to it?
[12:43] <willian> ubuntu:
[12:43] <KM0201> krypton: safer?.. from what?
[12:43] <ikonia> willian: do you want ubuntu support help yes/no ?
[12:44] <MonkeyDust> krypton  start with ufw / iptables
[12:44] <willian> what games can install ubuntu?
[12:44] <iceroot_> krypton: its already save by default
[12:44] <iceroot_> !games | willian
[12:44] <Pumpkin-> I was surprised to learn that grub can boot a bunch of virtual disk images on real hardware, that might help
[12:44] <jankud> iceroot_: Thanks, just needed to know :)
[12:44] <willian> ikonia: ?
[12:44] <ikonia> willian: what ?
[12:45] <willian> ikonia: Do you know?
[12:45] <ikonia> willian: see the link ubottu gave you
[12:45] <MonkeyDust> willian  http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/html/games.html
[12:45] <krypton> well I am working on projects for the back i work so I handle secure private info and I need a laptop thats way secure thus i moved away from windows
[12:45] <krypton> cause its very insecure
[12:45] <krypton> bank
[12:45] <willian> Bey.
[12:46] <auronandace> krypton: security is a process not a product
[12:46] <iceroot_> krypton: default ubuntu installation with encrypted /home and strong passwords, dont install software from other sources then the ubuntu repos, dont enable the root- account, dont run software as root when not needed, always install sec-updates
[12:46] <krypton> what process I need to take to be secure
[12:46] <ikonia> krypton: contact your banks security team
[12:47] <Sidewinder> krypton, iceroot_ Just gave you the process. :-)
[12:47] <krypton> iceroot thanks
[12:47] <iceroot_> krypton: and try to avoid adobe flash, java or other insecure stuff
[12:48] <iceroot_> just my opinion
[12:48] <krypton> ok i will get rid of them iceroot and is firefox safe or should i get chrome?
[12:48] <iceroot_> krypton: both are fine
[12:48] <adambrums> quit
[12:49] <auronandace> krypton: stay away from ppas if you want a stable system
[12:49] <krypton> iceroot you are awesome thank you so much
[12:49] <iceroot_> krypton: but there goes the same, dont install any addon have a look at the addon first
[12:49] <adambrums> ls
[12:49] <Sidewinder> krypton, "Noscript' is a nice add-on for Firefox, for add'l security; then there's "adblock-plus.
[12:49] <iceroot_> krypton: but GNU/Linux is not really in the focus of security issues, so dont worry
[12:49] <Fat-Thing> hi good eve/moanin/noon/midnight to all
[12:51] <krypton> i know iceroot thats way i left windows cause i had so many software just to keep it alive i felt like i was taking care of a sick baby on ICU with windows firewalls cause i had 3 and spyware and virus and so on
[12:51] <Fat-Thing> just wanna ask something...everytime i'll close my apps.....it seems they only disappear but yet still running on the system...when i do check my system monitor processes i can still see all the apps i'd closed seems working still what seems to be the problem?
[12:51] <iceroot_> krypton: firewall, anti virus.. all not needed here
[12:52] <iceroot_> krypton: the best protection is a user which is not doing crazy stuff, then the os is not your problem
[12:53] <krypton> windows sucks!  i know thus I move to safer and better water i wanted to try debian but when i when to ask for help on there chat there were 2 people there and both way rude not nice like you all and they told me to go for the distros for dummies like mint, ubuntu, and pensure
[12:53] <Sidewinder> krypton, This link contains a wealth of information regarding ubuntu and security: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=510812
[12:54] <krypton> wow thanks! sidewinder you guys are awesome
[12:54] <esak> does have notepad++ php synatx checker ??
[12:54] <Sidewinder> My pleasure. :-)
[12:54] <iceroot_> krypton: thqats how the ubuntu (and most of the open source community) is working
[12:54] <krypton> not debian people they were nasty and mean
[12:55] <iceroot_> krypton: no
[12:55]  * Sidewinder Left his nasty/mean hat in the other room.
[12:55] <iceroot_> krypton: but i aggre the RTFM is more common on debian then on ubuntu but debian is still great
[12:56] <krypton> why are they so unhappy maybe because they are not number 1 like ubuntu? lol
[12:56] <Sidewinder> krypton, And, as you're probably well aware, ubuntu is Debian based.
[12:56] <Fat-Thing> just wanna ask something...everytime i'll close my apps.....it seems they only disappear but yet still running on the system...when i do check my system monitor processes i can still see all the apps i'd closed seems working still what seems to be the problem?
[12:57] <iceroot_> krypton: there are different reasons but i guess its offtopic in this channel
[12:57] <krypton> all i ask them was "how do I intall debian?" they answer you should ask that simple of question here everyone knows how to install a distro you need to go to the distros for dumb people like ubuntu, mint, and opensure
[12:58] <krypton> yeah true
[12:58] <iceroot_> krypton: i bet that questions would results in similar results in this channl
[12:58] <Sidewinder> krypton, There is a specific channel for chit-chat, it's #ubuntu-offtopic.
[12:58] <krypton> its in the past and i am here now
[12:58] <donavan01> Fat_Thing ... if its something that has a daemon running in the background it will never really close ... bascially the same as a service windows ... if its something else like a game that never closes thats a different matter all together
[12:58] <krypton> lol well cause its easy to install ubuntu
[12:59] <krypton> anyway thank you all
[12:59] <Sidewinder> :)
[12:59] <iceroot_> krypton: you are welcome
[12:59] <themill> krypton: that wasn't what happened at all, but I have no intention of arguing with you about it here...
[12:59] <Sidewinder> And good luck!
[12:59] <krypton> you are awesome thus i love ubuntu too
[12:59] <donavan01> krytpton I have litterally tried just about all the major distros and I must say ubuntu is your best bet ... way easier to get rolling than most
[13:00] <esak> does notepad++ php synax checker ??
[13:00] <iceroot_> esak: i dont think so because a php parser is needed for that
[13:00] <krypton> thnk you donavan
[13:00] <iceroot_> esak: i guess eclipse has something like that
[13:01] <krypton> last question how big of a donation will ubuntu accept ?
[13:01] <krypton> i wand to donate to them you guys are way good
[13:02] <esak> iceroot i download NppExec plugin. but dont know how use ?   see this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6312023/is-there-a-php-syntax-checker-for-notepad
[13:02] <iceroot_> krypton: every donation is welcome and not only money, also support, testing, patch-writing-tell other people about ubuntu and so on
[13:02] <donavan01> its not us ... we are just users like you ... but you can donate conical
[13:02] <zlynx1> How can i have my laptop sync up to my pc with all the same apps and settings(assuming i have the same ubuntu installed on both machines)
[13:02] <iceroot_> krypton: the best donation on ubuntu is use the system and if you find bugs report them
[13:02] <iceroot_> !bug | krypton
[13:03] <iceroot_> krypton: much more welcome then money
[13:03] <Bunie> I have two questions. when booting from USB, does the USB need a boot loader or does it just need to be marked as active. Also, Will Linux/Ubuntu boot if the drive is formated in NTFS?
[13:03] <Bunie> My PC will only boot from USB if the drive is NTFS. no clue why.
[13:04] <donavan01> Bunie ... dont think it will do NTFS ... linux and NTFS are sketchy at best
[13:04] <krypton> will do you guys are great and deserve it thanks this by far has been the best distro and community i have visited my hats off to you all it a welcoming and tight community that helps ubuntu rocks
[13:04] <Steevca> When i try to watch a youtube video i get a missing plug-in.I have flash installed.
[13:04] <MonkeyDust> Bunie  best way to find out, is by creating a live usb and booting from it
[13:05] <Steevca> I am using chromium.
[13:05] <iceroot_> Bunie: boot loader is needed
[13:06] <iceroot_> Bunie: and you cant install GNU/Linux on NTFS
[13:06] <iceroot_> !usb | Bunie
[13:06] <iceroot_> Bunie: the isos have already a boot loader so you dont have to install a bootloader
[13:07] <fresh_fm> s
[13:07] <jeek> What does {u} at the end of a package name about to be removed mean?
[13:08] <iceroot_> jeek: can you provide the complete output?

[13:09] <iceroot_> Bunie: you want to create a bootbale ubuntu drive from windows?
[13:09] <jeek> http://paste.ubuntu.com/944040/
[13:09] <MonkeyDust> !ru
[13:09] <iceroot_> Bunie: or is the iso stored on a ntfs drive?
[13:09] <Bunie> iceroot_: Yes, but the drive has to be NTFS. my PC wont boot fat or fat32 USB devices
[13:10] <iceroot_> Bunie: your pc will boot everything
[13:10] <Bunie> no lol i tried.
[13:10] <Bunie> my PC wont boot ubuntu on fat 32
[13:10] <iceroot_> Bunie: its not related to fat, ntfs, ext or something like that
[13:10] <Bunie> it wouldnt boot windows on fat32
[13:10] <Bunie> my laptop would
[13:10] <iceroot_> Bunie: totally wrong
[13:10] <Bunie> No.
[13:10] <Bunie> I garantee my life.
[13:10] <FloodBot1> Bunie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:10] <iceroot_> Bunie: then you die now
[13:10] <Bunie> i took the usb from my desktop, and plugged it into my laptop, and it ran
[13:10] <jeek> I get the impression that trying to install tofrodos is going to hose my system pretty badly.
[13:10] <Bunie> then i changed format to NTFS, and it worked
[13:11] <iceroot_> Bunie: the bios is looking for the mbr which is not stored in any filesystem like ntfs, fat or ext
[13:11] <iceroot_> Bunie: after that the boot loader is called
[13:11] <Bunie> then why did my laptop load it
[13:11] <iceroot_> Bunie: your bios even dont know what ntfs, ext or fat is
[13:11] <Bunie> and my desktop wouldnt, until i changed to ntfs
[13:11] <iceroot_> Bunie: you just created the usb stick wrong
[13:11] <daev_> uefi knows
[13:11] <Bunie> and why wont my desktop boot any linux usb
[13:11] <Bunie> but they work fine on my laptop
[13:11] <iceroot_> daev_: uefi surely has no ext, ntfs or fat driver
[13:13] <daev_> fat32 yes
[13:13] <daev_> not ntfs
[13:13] <Bunie> it may not make any sense but my desktop wont boot a fat32 usb drive. it will either freeze, give an error instantly, or just reboot.
[13:14] <KaKila> hi all. Wacom Bamboo question
[13:14] <ztripez> I'm trying to get dnsmaq to work on ubuntu 11.10. I got it to work on local dns wildcard adresses, however i disables my ips DNS
[13:14] <Bunie> a Windows 7 usb wouldnt even boot until i re-did it in NTFS. so is it possible to make a Linux USB in NTFS?
[13:14] <daev_> sorry iceroot_ i didn't highlight, fat32 yes, ext# / ntfs no
[13:14] <iceroot_> Bunie: totally stupid what you are writing
[13:14] <KaKila> The tablet is detected but can't make it work. I follow all the how-to everything looks fine
[13:14] <KaKila> but still it doesn't work
[13:14] <Bunie> feel free to come and check out my PC refusing to boot things that arent NTFS
[13:14] <iceroot_> Bunie: you copied the iso itself as a file on the stick?
[13:15] <Bunie> no i used two USB makers
[13:15] <Bunie> two different programs
[13:15] <iceroot_> Bunie: MBR is NOT fat, ntfs or ext!!!!!!!
[13:15] <Bunie> I know it has nothing to do with it.
[13:15] <Bunie> But it Doesnt Work
[13:15] <Bunie> It's a mystical phenomenon, then. because my laptop boots them perfectly.
[13:16] <iceroot_> wrong architecture?
[13:16] <daev_> ^
[13:16] <Bunie> no, my desktop is x86_64
[13:16] <Bunie> will boot both.
[13:16] <daev_> did you use unetbootin, that's quite a good one.
[13:16] <Bunie> the point is. why did they work on my laptop
[13:16] <tking0036> unetbootin is good... if that doesnt work you could try the fedora live usb creator
[13:17] <jeek> iceroot_: Screw it, I'll just install dos2unix from source
[13:17] <jeek> For some reason Ubuntu left it out of 10.04, but brought it back for 10.10
[13:17] <iceroot_> Bunie: have you done the exact! same steps as ubottu was suggesting?
[13:17] <iceroot_> !usb | Bunie
[13:18] <iceroot_> Bunie: we are talking about an ubuntu iso?
[13:18] <Sidewinder> Bunie, Also, make sure that you Md5sum the ISO image before you copy/install it to your USB.
[13:18] <Bunie> now you guys arent making any sense. we're talking about a USB. that boots fine on one PC and not another.
[13:19] <iceroot_> Bunie: no sense is talking about using ntfs for gnu/linux
[13:19] <Bunie> unless every fat32 usb has refused to boot for me, including ones carrying Windows 7
[13:19] <roloncito> when is the release about new ubuntu?
[13:19] <Bunie> until i switched that to NTFS. So.
[13:19] <daev_> Bunie, if that is what's happening the issue is likely down to your bios on the pc
[13:19] <iceroot_> Bunie: windows 7 will surely not run on fat32
[13:20] <Bunie> iceroot_: it ran on my laptop
[13:20] <iceroot_> Bunie: why the hell running a os with fat32
[13:20] <Bunie> installer*
[13:20] <Bunie> Usb installer, i ment
[13:20] <iceroot_> Bunie: ...
[13:21] <iceroot_> Bunie: when you put an iso on a usb stick the stick will change the filesystem for that partition
[13:21] <Sidewinder> roloncito, Please see here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule
[13:21] <roloncito> Sidewinder,  thanks
[13:21] <Sidewinder> roloncito, My pleasure. :-)
[13:21] <iceroot_> Bunie: normally installers are coming in the iso file system
[13:22] <Bunie> I'm gonna go be sad now. i just needed to know if making a Live USB using NTFS was possible
[13:22] <iceroot_> Bunie: and because the windows image is bigger then 4gb its totally stupid to say its fat32
[13:22] <iceroot_> Bunie: ...
[13:22] <Bunie> my Windows ISO is like 3.7GB
[13:22] <jeek> iceroot: I guess the {u} is unneeded?
[13:23] <iceroot_> jeek: sounds correct
[13:23] <Sidewinder> 3.7<4.0
[13:23] <Bender_> Hello, I'm just owndering if on 26th I'll have to reinstall the whole system or if my 12.04 beta2 will automatically upgrade to the official lts release.
[13:23] <iceroot_> Bunie: you dont know what you are saying
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> Bender_  the second
[13:23] <iceroot_> Bender_: when you put an iso to an usb stick, you will copy the file system of that image too
[13:23] <Arlee> Good morning, guys.
[13:24] <iceroot_> Bender_: you cant change the filesystem of that
[13:24] <Arlee> Is there a final version of Skype for ubuntu?
[13:24] <iceroot_> Bender_: wrong nick sorry
[13:24] <MonkeyDust> Arlee  activate the partner sources
[13:24] <Bender_> ok
[13:24] <Arlee> I have 2.2 beta
[13:24] <Bender_> Thank you :)
[13:24] <Sidewinder> iceroot_, Bunie left..
[13:24] <MonkeyDust> Arlee  2.2 here too
[13:25] <iceroot_> Sidewinder: great, now we can stop changing facts :)
[13:25] <Sidewinder> +1
[13:26] <Arlee> Thank you, MonkeyDust. Now where is this partner sources? Sorry about my lack of information.
[13:27] <MonkeyDust> Arlee  System Settings > Sources
[13:27] <MonkeyDust> Arlee  System Settings > Software Sources
[13:27] <daev_> Bunie are you constipated? because your full of $#!t
[13:27] <iceroot_> daev_: stop it please
[13:27] <daev_> only kiddin i know this is child friendly :]
[13:28] <Anomie21> Hi, How do I upgrade my mysql server to support InnoDB?
[13:28] <iceroot_> Anomie21: its already supporting innodb
[13:28] <Anomie21> iceroot_: says "This MySQL server does not support the InnoDB storage engine." in phpmyadmin
[13:28] <Arlee> MonkeyDust, Thanks a lot.
[13:28] <KaKila> any help with wacom?
[13:28] <iceroot_> Anomie21: but imo on GNU/Linux its not the default, there it is myisam (or what it is called)
[13:29] <Anomie21> iceroot_: Not on my installation, doesn't work at all. Getting the following error when trying to install magento 'Database server does not support the InnoDB storage engine.'
[13:29] <iceroot_> Anomie21: what ubuntu release? installed mysql from the repos? the same for phpmyadmin?
[13:29] <Anomie21> iceroot_: 11.10, Yes I followed the LAMP
[13:29] <Anomie21> *Linode LAMP
[13:29] <MonkeyDust> Arlee  sudo apt-get update after you activate 'canonical partners', then you can install skype
[13:29] <iceroot_> Anomie21: followed the lamp means?
[13:29] <iceroot_> Anomie21: sudo apt-get install mysql-server?
[13:30] <Anomie21> iceroot_: yep
[13:30] <Anomie21> iceroot_: http://library.linode.com/lamp-guides/ubuntu-11.10-oneiric
[13:30] <Anomie21> followed that
[13:31] <iceroot_> Anomie21: http://guy.vsbnet.be/content/no-innodb-support-ubuntu-server-1110
[13:31] <iceroot_> Anomie21: seems like something wrong with your innodb and it cant be load
[13:32] <iceroot_> Anomie21: any errors on startup or in the logs?
[13:32] <iceroot_> Anomie21: /var/log/syslog
[13:33] <iceroot_> Anomie21: have a look at /etc/mysql/my.cnf is there #skip-innodb
[13:33] <iceroot_> Anomie21: if there is no # you have the reason
[13:38] <Anomie21> iceroot_: sorry was afk, thanks will look into that further
[13:38] <iceroot_> Anomie21: ok
[13:39] <Anomie21> iceroot_: Yeah it says 'skip-innodb'
[13:39] <Anomie21> Just remove that and restart mysql?
[13:39] <pppd> hello, is there any way that i can connet from localhost (through machine B - doesn't support X forwarding) to machine C (supports X forwarding) and run any X command?
[13:40] <ikonia> pppd: no
[13:40] <pppd> ikonia: ok, thank you
[13:41] <helo> is using root btrfs a bad idea with precise?
[13:41] <Anomie21> iceroot_: woo, working now. Thanks
[13:41] <ikonia> helo: in my opinion, yes
[13:43] <iceroot_> Anomie21: that was the default ubuntu configuration and you did not change it?
[13:43] <Anomie21> iceroot_: yeah
[13:43] <iceroot_> Anomie21: very strange. on my debian its enabled by default, never used mysql on ubuntu but for its strange to disable innodb by default
[13:44] <MrUnagi> is the us repo down?
[13:44] <iceroot_> Anomie21: i just know that innodb is not the default engine on GNU/Linux
[13:44] <souliaq> Keyboard and Mouse Microsoft Desktop 800 Wireless, work in any Linux distro, right?
[13:44] <Keo-w> where does ubuntu store the hostname
[13:44] <iceroot_> helo: using precise and btrfs on a production system is a bad idea
[13:44] <Keo-w> trying to find the file so i can update
[13:44] <captine> MrUnagi, i am struggling to intall from software center
[13:45] <iceroot_> Keo-w: /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname
[13:45] <captine> keeps saying internet down
[13:45] <iceroot_> !host | Keo-w
[13:45] <iceroot_> !hosts | Keo-w
[13:45] <Emmanuel_Chanel> Hello!
[13:45] <MrUnagi> captine: apt is hanging for me
[13:45] <iceroot_> !hostname | Keo-w
[13:45] <helo> iceroot_, ikonia: it's my desktop system, and all important files are on a different partition
[13:46] <iceroot_> helo: for testing btrfs is ok, for normal usage not
[13:46] <Anomie21> iceroot_: yeah, weird one. Thanks anyway, ciao
[13:47] <Steevca> I get this when i want to play a video on youtube,flash is installed! http://www.dodaj.rs/f/45/A6/220pBTqk/screenshot-at-2012-04-24.png
[13:47] <iceroot_> Steevca: 12.04?
[13:47] <Steevca> iceroot_: 11.10
[13:47] <MonkeyDust> Steevca  activate restricted areas in the software sources
[13:47] <iceroot_> Steevca: restarted the browser?
[13:47] <Steevca> iceroot_: Couple of times.
[13:47] <helo> if there are persistent reports of fs corruption, i'd rather not use it. if it's just not as thoroughly tested, i'll give it a try
[13:47] <iceroot_> Steevca: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/976425
[13:47] <Keo-w> so in /etc/hosts <IP_ADDRESS> test.com testbox
[13:47] <Steevca> MonkeyDust: And how do i do that? :D
[13:48] <Keo-w> would mean host is testbox.test.com right
[13:48] <iceroot_> Steevca: there is/was a bug in the package "sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin" was the workaround, dont know if chrome was also affected
[13:49] <Steevca> iceroot_: I am on chrome.And Flashplugin is installed adobe-flashplugin
[13:49] <Steevca> * adobe-flashplugin is already the newest version.
[13:49] <iceroot_> Steevca: sorry then i dont know
[13:50] <donavan01> anyone know why I have issues with the paste sites like pastebin.com I can past to them but nothing ever gets processed on the site and the request times out ... any idea what could be causing that?
[13:50] <Steevca> Is there an alternativ for flash on chromium?
[13:50] <MonkeyDust> Steevca  try gnash
[13:51] <Steevca> MonkeyDust: Sudo apt-get install gnash?
[13:53] <Steevca> Can anyone give me the terninal command for removing flash compleatly?
[13:55] <ishkabob> steveca, if you've installed via packages, the command would probably be: sudo apt-get remove adobe-flashplugin
[13:56] <KaKila> wacom help?

[13:57] <ishkabob> hey everyone, i'm trying to login to a Unity session with an activedirectory user (via Centrify), I can login fine to a terminal session, but lightdm doesn't want to log me in graphically, in my auth.log, i have the following:

[13:57] <donavan01> anyone know when 12.04 will go offical
[13:57] <TacNayn> Why are the ubuntu servers so slow
[13:58] <zykotick9> !schedule | donavan01
[13:58] <mario_> whats the name of the bootloader in ubuntu ?
[13:58] <zykotick9> mario_: grub2
[13:58] <mario_> /etc/ ?
[13:59] <zykotick9> mario_: the config stuff is in file /etc/default/grub mainly
[13:59] <donavan01> tacnayn if your talking about there file servers then thats because there are so many people hitting them
[13:59] <Konata> No
[13:59] <Konata> I'm talking about Canonical's servers
[14:00] <zykotick9> mario_: in channel please
[14:00] <Konata> Mainly, <IP_ADDRESS> and others like that
[14:00] <Konata> I've been trying to update this server for the last 20 minutes, it should not take this long to download 42MB, especially on a server that can push 1gbps
[14:00] <Pici> Konata: Canonical is aware of it, and are looking into it.
[14:01] <zykotick9> mario_: you can edit /etc/default/grub - but you need to run "sudo update-grub" after making any changes, to apply them!
[14:01] <Konata> Pici: Is there another mirror that is functioning normally?
[14:01] <Konata> or am I up the creek without a paddle at the moment
[14:01] <GeminiDomino> Same problem here. And here I thought I was being clever by grabbing my packages now, before 12.04 is officially released later this week XD
[14:02] <Pici> Konata: All our other mirrors should be working just fine.  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
[14:02] <KaKila> anybody can help with wacom installation. Detected but not working
[14:02] <Sidewinder> Pici, My update mgr. popped up yesterday with kernel updates; didn't do it as didn't want to reboot; should I wait a few days 'til Canonical gets it sorted?
[14:03] <mario_> thanks for the help zykotick9
[14:03] <MonkeyDust> KaKila  start here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wacom
[14:03] <Pici> Sidewinder: Its up to you, you can always pick a different mirror if you like.
[14:04] <KaKila> MonkeyDust: thanks, but I have gon throughout all the how-to. I had it working in 10.04, but I moved to 11.10 and the tablet is detected but not working
[14:04] <KaKila> MonkeyDust: is a 00d2, so it says to be included
[14:04] <Sidewinder> Pici, Thanx, I'll wait a little; no rush, here. :)

[14:06] <GeminiDomino> Is there any easy way to change the mirror from the CLI, or just editing sources.list?

[14:14] <Sidewinder> retis, Why not just use Synaptic? It'll handle all of the dependencies for you; or Software Center.
[14:14] <MonkeyDust> retis  type sudo apt-get install skype|pastebinit -- you'll get an url in the terminal -- paste that here

[14:31] <masom> Hello, i am running 12.04 server with KVM guests. Everything kinda works fine until the guest tries to access the office lan. They can reach the internet just fine, but they can't access any machine on the lan. Worst, machines on the lan can access the KVM guests :/ Seems like a routing issue to me... anyone can help?
[14:31] <MonkeyDust> masom  ask in #ubuntu+1
[14:32] <compdoc> masom, sounds like youre using the default virtual lan
[14:32] <masom> compdoc: each vm is running in a separate vlan.
[14:32] <compdoc> you need to use bridges
[14:33] <Wavesonics> hey does anyone know if there are any sweet laptops coming out w\ 12.04?
[14:33] <compdoc> seperate vlans doesnt make a lot of sense
[14:33] <masom> compdoc: and i do, actually running openstack essex. I had the same issue previously on ScientificLinux with a different version of openstack. It was a forwarding rule, but i forgot it :(
[14:33] <Sidewinder> c__, My HP 6P was "just there", under System-->Admin--> Printing.. Perhaps if you leave the printer on and reboot, it'll "be there", then just install.
[14:33] <MonkeyDust> masom  bridges as opposed to NAT, to create logical bridges to you existing network
[14:33] <Quantum_Ion> Wavesonics, You can install Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS on most cheap laptops and it works great
[14:34] <Sidewinder> c__, I think "CUPS", installs by default.

[15:02] <cap> retis: But it's always better (safer) to use the package management system (synaptic or apt-get).
[15:03] <Pici> linux_probe: may I pm?
[15:07] <donavan01> anyone know how to get the network monitor plugin to work with the wifi?
[15:10] <zelrik> is it normal if there is no more 'compress' button in nautilus when you right click on files?
[15:14] <Arlee> zelrik: I still have it (11.10 Gnome3). "Compress..."
[15:18] <LoRez> why on earth does oneiric keep asking for wifi passwords while the machine is plugged into a network?
[15:19] <umren> is there a channel for ubuntu developers?
[15:19] <ikonia> umren: what's the issue
[15:19] <LoRez> better, why does it open 20 windows to ask?
[15:19] <umren> want to ask about java & unity interface integration, will this be a problem?
[15:19] <ikonia> no
[15:21] <MrUnagi> so i have openvpn installed and workingŌĆ”.sort ofŌĆ”..i can see remote windows machines advertising, and i can ssh to the vpn server via its local ip addressŌĆ”..but i cannot ssh to another machine using its local addressŌĆ”..is there a configuration i missed?
[15:21] <cesarstafe> people, a question about differences between versions 10.04 and 11.10? I have installed 'couchdb' in Ubuntu 11.10 and there is config files under '/usr/local/etc/couchdb', but there aren't there those files under Ubuntu 10.04? this is my fault or there was another place for config files for Ubuntu 10.04?
[15:21] <ikonia> cesarstafe: how did you install couchdb
[15:21] <ikonia> cesarstafe: that location does not look like the correct ubuntu location
[15:22] <realrealjerry> ĶāĮĶ»ĘµĢÖõĖĆõĖ¬ķŚ«ķóśÕÉŚ’╝¤
[15:22] <bazhang> !cn | realrealjerry
[15:22] <cesarstafe> ikonia: I'm tryint to configure CouchDb 1.2.0(the latest version) and there is not ubuntu package for that
[15:23] <cesarstafe> so
[15:23] <ikonia> cesarstafe: ok, so it's not an ubuntu issue
[15:23] <cesarstafe> I've downloaded a third party
[15:23] <shomon> hi, I have an ubuntu laptop which freezes after the graphics go very strange
[15:23] <ikonia> cesarstafe: it's how you are building the package or the 3rd party is making the package
[15:23] <shomon> first around the mouse, then the mouse becomes unresponsive
[15:23] <ikonia> cesarstafe: it's nothing to do with ubuntu
[15:23] <cesarstafe> and after that I've checked that this is working well
[15:23] <cesarstafe> I am trying to add as a service with 'runit'
[15:23] <ikonia> cesarstafe: if it's not working/putting files in 10.04 contact the people who make the package and ask them why
[15:24] <cesarstafe> in Ubuntu 11.10 works greate
[15:24] <ikonia> cesarstafe: if it's not working/putting files in 10.04 contact the people who make the package and ask them why
[15:24] <cesarstafe> but I have a staging server with Ubuntu 10.04 and I didn't found where those files are
[15:25] <ikonia> cesarstafe: if it's not working/putting files in 10.04 contact the people who make the package and ask them why
[15:25] <cesarstafe> ikonia: ok, I'll try to find the location first ..
[15:25] <cesarstafe> for those files
[15:26] <cesarstafe> I though that this was a difference between 10.04 and 11.10
[15:26] <bobweaaver> cesarstafe,  you know about motu ? like what ikonia  is talking about ?
[15:26] <cesarstafe> not at all
[15:26] <cesarstafe> this is my first time here in this channel
[15:26] <cesarstafe> and I don't know about motu
[15:27] <bobweaaver> cool welcome cesarstafe  motu is the masters of the universe read more about them here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU
[15:27] <ikonia> cesarstafe: don't worry about it
[15:27] <cesarstafe> bobweaaver: who/what/which is it?
[15:27] <ikonia> cesarstafe: it's of no value to you at this time
[15:27] <ikonia> cesarstafe: contact the people who make the package and ask them for a 10.04 package
[15:27] <cesarstafe> yes, I guess that this is not time to lose time there, in future yes, but not now
[15:28] <cesarstafe> ikonia: yes, I'll .. thank you very much!
[15:28] <bobweaaver> cesarstafe,  what files are you looking for ?
[15:29] <cesarstafe> config files for couchdb
[15:29] <cesarstafe> in 11.10 are under /usr/local/etc/couchdb/
[15:29] <splnet> how do you resize a window in unity? Or switch to full screen? I can't access the top of a window.
[15:29] <cesarstafe> but not under 10.04
[15:30] <cap> splnet: F11 ?
[15:30] <cap> splnet: Ctrl-F  ?
[15:31] <cap> splnet: can you move it  down by holding Alt and then clicking on it with left mouse button and drag it?
[15:31] <splnet> cap:  both of those don't work I
[15:31] <daev_> anyone here ever set up Plugin Manager for roundcube, in squeeze?
[15:31] <splnet> cap: yes the alt trick worked. thanks!
[15:31] <shomon> hi, any idea how to diagnose this crash? it created a file containing the words ubiquity crash...
[15:31] <cap> splnet: I dono, I just did:  sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[15:32] <cap> splnet: NP
[15:32] <cesarstafe> huh, I think that I know why I didn't find those files
[15:32] <cap> shomon: ubiquity crashed
[15:32] <byteman> what are the ISOLINUX/PXELINUX arguments to launch the Ubuntu 11.10 text installer via PXE?  The iso files are mounted on a HTTP server, but I want to do the install manually
[15:33] <cap> shomon: (sorry, couldn't resist)
[15:33] <cesarstafe> bobweaaver , ikonia : I have made a 'apt-get remove couchdb --purge' before of try to implement new version of CouchDb 1.2.0
[15:33] <splnet> byteman: I'm guessing you need the alternate installer
[15:34] <cesarstafe> --purge I guess that has dropped all this config files
[15:34] <MikeRotch> clear
[15:34] <byteman> splnet: I have the alternate ISO hosted on HTTP...just trying to figure out what files I need to get the ubuntu installer started.
[15:34] <cesarstafe> * deleted
[15:34] <bobweaaver> cesarstafe,  yes that is what --purge option does :)
[15:35] <cesarstafe> lol
[15:35] <splnet> byteman: I didn't know PXEboot works over http. You may need to setup a tftp server
[15:35] <nado> hi
[15:35] <nado> anybody ever heard of an invalid color format error in wine using intel gma graphics?
[15:35] <byteman> splnet: oh...this is TFTP.  I have  vmlinuz and initrd.img from the desktop ISO on TFTP, but I want the installer to pull the rest from HTTP - is this possible?
[15:35] <cesarstafe> well, discuss with you and 'ikonia' made me remember. Apologies for waste your time!
[15:35]  * MikeRotch is away: getting coffee [l(on) p(on)]
[15:36] <vuongdothanhhuy> what exactly the symptom?
[15:37] <splnet> byteman: yeah after it boots it should be. I'll let someone more knowledgable w/ ubuntu explain how to do it though
[15:37] <vuongdothanhhuy> wrong color when watching video in GMA VGA Card?
[15:37] <bobweaaver> cesarstafe,  glad that you figured it pit :)
[15:37] <nado> i get all black textures in games
[15:37] <nado> happened in Warcraft 3 on certain maps
[15:37] <nado> and now in Dota2 on Steam
[15:37] <bobweaaver> s/pit/out
[15:38] <cowdog> hello
[15:39] <cowdog> i need to up date brb
[15:40] <nado> vuongdothanhhuy, no idea what might cause my problems?
[15:41] <vuongdothanhhuy> I don't really know, on my netbook, it works well. Maybe something was wrong about the driver?
[15:42] <vuongdothanhhuy> I'm not professor in kernel development, sorry :D anyone professional in kernel and driver? give him a hand
[15:42] <cowdog> hello
[15:42] <nado> mhh, thanks anyway. how to check if i have the latest driver version?
[15:43] <cowdog> i would like to know how
[15:44] <cowdog> hello any one there
[15:44] <cap> Sorry, I don't know anything about brb
[15:44] <MrPockets> cowdog, whats your question..
[15:45] <MikeRotch> Hey Tep
[15:45] <cowdog> how do you update your drivers
[15:45] <cap> cowdog: Video drivers?
[15:45] <cowdog> yes
[15:45] <xtop7> hi all
[15:45] <bobweaaver> cowdog,  what driver/mod 3rd party or not ?
[15:46] <cowdog> its a AMD\
[15:46] <cap> cowdog: What problem are you encountering?  (What is it that leads you to believe that drivers need update?)
[15:47] <bobweaaver> cowdog,  open terminal (ctrl+alt+t) <~ ubuntu   and enter in  lspci -nn | grep VGA     then use paste.ubuntu.com to paste what you get and post link here
[15:47] <cap> cowdog: You should see an option for "Hardware Drivers"
[15:47] <cowdog> well i have to use unity the ubuntu 3d will not work
[15:47] <MikeRotch> .clear
[15:48] <MikeRotch> Gah.  Sorry, new keyboard
[15:48] <mneptok> cowdog: does "lsmod | grep adeon" in a terminal give any output?
[15:48] <cowdog> umm yeah
[15:49] <mneptok> cowdog: then you are using the "radeon" Free driver incorporated into the Linux kernel. all updates will come with new kernels.
[15:49] <shomon> lol cap
[15:49] <shomon> why did ubiquity crash, and can I switch it for something else?
[15:49] <cowdog> k
[15:50] <mneptok> cowdog: that driver does not have good 3D capabilities. you can use the proprietary AMD driver, but that introduces new problems.
[15:50] <mneptok> cowdog: do you *need* 3D acceleration?
[15:50] <cowdog> thanks
[15:50] <cap> cowdog: Make sure your system is fully updated.
[15:50] <cowdog> k
[15:51] <mneptok> guess not.
[15:52] <cap> I'm not sure where to find some of the options in Unity because I use xfce4 (xfce4 is a bit simpler and simple is good for me :)
[15:52] <derek12> hello, can someone please help me with Ubutun 12.04?
[15:52] <cap> derek12: Sure, but you have to ask specific question(s).
[15:52] <bobweaaver> derek12, try #ubuntu+1 yet ? it is the beta channel
[15:52] <`z> from topic: For support with 12.04 beta, /join #ubuntu+1 channel
[15:52] <multipass> hi, i reformated my computer, and now im unable to ssh back into my ubuntu server vmware. is there some think that could of happened?
[15:53] <derek12> I have just installed 12.04 fresh on my university machine, I added the HTTP proxy and I'm now using it to browse the web (on and get on this chat), however apt-get update tells me it's failing to fetch?
[15:53] <bobweaaver> multipass,  ssh client is installed correct ?
[15:53] <cap> bobweaaver: Tnx for the heads-up, #ubuntu+1 will know a lot more about 12.04 than most of us here.
[15:54] <eid> how can i drop manual in terminal ?
[15:54] <eid> after using it
[15:54] <multipass> bobweaaver: it worked before i reformated, and i can start and stop ssh client
[15:54] <derek12> spent good part of an hour trying to solve this :(
[15:55] <cap> derek12: sudo apt-get install ssh
[15:55] <bobweaaver> multipass,  the -v option in ssh gives out verbose are there errors ?
[15:55] <derek12> cap: E: Package 'ssh' has no installation candidate
[15:55] <multipass> bobweaaver: well im trying to ssh from my host computer into my ubuntu vbox
[15:56] <mneptok> cap: why ssh?
[15:56] <bobweaaver> multipass,  vbox is a bridged network ?
[15:56] <cap> I thought derek12 was looking for ssh.
[15:56] <multipass> bobweaaver: its a host only connection.. currently samba shares are working between the 2, and also i can access apache from the IP
[15:56] <cap> openssh
[15:56] <derek12> cap: no my apt-get isn't working, won't fetch anything
[15:57] <mneptok> derek12: where did you configure the web proxy?
[15:57] <multipass> but when i try to ssh into the comp, i see nothing
[15:57] <cap> derek12: Oh...  You have proxy?
[15:57] <multipass> doesnt respond
[15:57] <derek12> university proxy, I'm a lecturer here
[15:57] <derek12> this is in my office though, not public wifi
[15:58] <`z> vpn?
[15:58] <`z> hrm
[15:58] <aaas> is there a way to force fsck on reboot
[15:58] <mneptok> derek12: you said " i added the HTTP proxy." where did you do this?
[15:58] <irenicus09> hi anyone knows how I can ssh to my server if I don't own a domain name...and what is better for Linux no-ip or dyndns?
[15:58] <derek12> mneptok: I opened the dash and typed "Proxy" and clicked " "Network"
[15:58] <mneptok> aaas: sudo touch /forcefsck
[15:59] <cap> aaas: fsck will check and repair a Linux file system.  I don't think it will reboot for you.
[15:59] <derek12> mneptok: selected "Network proxy" and then I set "HTTP Proxy"
[15:59] <aaas> thanks mneptok
[16:00] <cap> derek12: Did you test to see that it works through it?
[16:00] <cap> derek12: host av.com
[16:00] <derek12> cap: I'm using it now to chat on IRC and search google
[16:00] <derek12> host av.com
[16:00] <derek12> av.com has address <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:00] <mneptok> derek12: open Synaptic and configure the proxy in Synaptic's settings.
[16:00] <derek12> av.com has address <IP_ADDRESS>
[16:00] <derek12> av.com mail is handled by 50 av1-mrin.yahoo.com.
[16:00] <derek12> av.com mail is handled by 50 av2-mrin.yahoo.com.
[16:00] <FloodBot1> derek12: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:01] <mneptok> derek12: Synaptic is the package manager in the admin tools.
[16:01] <cap> derek12: Ok, looks to be working for you.  What error do you get from apt-get?
[16:01] <cap> derek12: or synaptic?
[16:02] <derek12> cap: http://paste.ubuntu.com/944285/
[16:02] <derek12> mneptok: going to look for synaptic now, getting lost in unity...
[16:02] <multipass> anyone know what my ssh problem might be? im tryin to ssh from my host comp onto my ubuntu vbox -- http://paste.ubuntu.com/944286/
[16:03] <mneptok> derek12: if you want to do it from the command line, you can set the proxy in your shell's exports.
[16:03] <cap> derek12: backports?
[16:03] <derek12> cap: what's a backport?
[16:03] <bobweaaver> multipass, is ssh on 22 ?
[16:03] <mneptok> oho! someone did type this already.
[16:03] <bobweaaver> in vbox ^^
[16:03] <mneptok> derek12: http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/02/how-to-use-apt-get-behind-proxy-server-ubuntudebian.html
[16:04] <derek12> any idea why this worked before but no lnoger?
[16:04] <mneptok> derek12: "something changed"
[16:04] <cap> derek12: "When using Backports, it is important to understand that there is an inherent risk in backporting software"
[16:04] <cap> from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[16:05] <derek12> how do I ... not use backports...
[16:06] <derek12> mneptok: tried the export, didn't work
[16:06] <cantata> Is somebody in home?
[16:06] <jrib> cantata: do you have a support question?
[16:06] <derek12> somebody in home?
[16:06] <cantata> Oh no! I bring with me a bug...
[16:07] <jrib> cantata: what is it?
[16:07] <cantata> Can I report it?
[16:07] <multipass> bobweaaver: im not sure where that setting is bob
[16:07] <donavan01> anyone know why pastebin would not be processing my pastes... works fine in windows but not in ubuntu
[16:07] <multipass> bobweaaver: is this somekinda vbox settings? or on the actual ubuntu image
[16:07] <cantata> Well, I have been trying to install Ubuntu 12,04... and well...
[16:07] <bobweaaver> multipass,  look under /etc/ssh/sshd_conf
[16:07] <cap> derek12: To disable backports, go to Software Sources and remove
[16:08] <Guest53996> yesterday my kernel was updated can I remove the old kernal or should I wait a few days
[16:08] <jrib> cantata: please use only one line
[16:08] <cantata> My laptop screen turn in black...
[16:08] <cantata> Ok
[16:08] <neil1107> how about ubuntu 12.04?
[16:08] <cap> derek12: Some of us, (not all), recommend staying with stable versions of software(s).
[16:08] <jrib> cantata: as 12.04 final has not yet been released, please use #ubuntu+1 for help with it
[16:08] <multipass> it says port 22, bobweaaver
[16:09] <atjepatatje> Hi there, anyone can help me on hanging apt-get install / apt-get remove / etcetra
[16:09] <jrib> atjepatatje: provide details.
[16:09] <derek12> cap: no luck there either :(
[16:09] <bobweaaver> multipass, when I use vox for servers it is for testing an it is on my lan most of the time. in vbox unders the os settings look at network is that bridged ?
[16:09] <cap> derek12: It's up to you....  But depending on how long you've had backports enabled in your sources list, you might be better off just leaving it as is.  (I dono, maybe someone else will have better advise).
[16:09] <cantata> Excuse me... well I know that... but I want to help a bit... Is not a bug that?
[16:09] <ZetNo> I'm kinda new to ubuntu, is there anyone who can help me just a bit, with a few net related questions ?
[16:09] <bobweaaver> s|vox|vbox   lol
[16:09] <derek12> cap: clean install 1hour ago :)
[16:10] <cap> derek12: Oh
[16:10] <jrib> cantata: this is not the proper channel for help with 12.04.  Please use #ubuntu+1.  They can tell you how to fix it or if you should report a bug
[16:10] <cap> derek12: Then you probably haven't installed anyting via backports yet.
[16:10] <multipass> bobweaaver: well i have a nat for adapter 1, and host only for adapter 2... i have had this working, but then i had to reformat.. and now for some reason it wont work
[16:10] <ZetNo> im using ubuntu 10.04 lts
[16:10] <atjepatatje> jrib, apt-get doesnt work any more. It hangs during installs / removes, i tried running dpkg --configure -a and i ren apt-get update / upgrade / clean / autoremove / check / etcetra
[16:10] <jrib> atjepatatje: pastebin
[16:10] <cap> Someone tell me:  Does backports come enabled by default nowdays?
[16:11] <jrib> atjepatatje: or is there absolutely no output?
[16:11] <cantata> Jrib: how would I go to there? Explain me, please... I am from Linux Mint.
[16:11] <jrib> cantata: /join #ubuntu+1
[16:11] <bobweaaver> multipass, I will make video
[16:11] <cantata> Oh thank you friend!

[16:12] <atjepatatje> jrib http://pastebin.ca/2139780
[16:12] <Guest53996> ZetNo, what is your question
[16:12] <jrib> atjepatatje: is it always with clamav-daemon?
[16:13] <cap> derek12: Alternately, you can go to /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out all lines that have backport in them.  (grep backport /etc/apt/sources.list  #Will tell you which ones you have.)
[16:13] <atjepatatje> jrib no randomly
[16:13] <jrib> atjepatatje: can you pastebin another?
[16:13] <donavan01> does anyone else have any issue with pastebin ?
[16:13] <gridbag> is there a google video chat client for ubuntu?
[16:13] <cap> derek12: But if you do, you'll need to run sudo apt-get update   afterward
[16:14] <cap> donavan01: No. Why would we?
[16:14] <atjepatatje> jrib, when trying to remove something else => http://pastebin.ca/2139782
[16:14] <jrib> atjepatatje: right, that's clamav-daemon again

[16:22] <Timmy> when will the FUCKING ubuntu 12.04 be released?
[16:23] <Travis-42> On Ubuntu 11.10, when I right click on anything like a window bar, the right click menu shows up underneath the window, so I can't click it. any ideas?
[16:23] <jrib> jeshwanth: depends how you installed it
[16:23] <Steevca> fidel_: Can you copy-paste me the last one,chrome got all wierd on me.
[16:23] <cap> donavan01: Just trying to go to  www.pastebin.org  right now and... it says:  "Pastebin.com is under heavy load right now :'("
[16:23] <jrib> Timmy: that get's you the wrong kind of attention.
[16:23] <Steevca> !precise
[16:23] <bekks> jrib: Reboot into another kernel, and remove it the same way you installed it (hopefully dpkg).
[16:23] <donavan01> noob ... end of the month
[16:23] <fidel_> Steevca: it was just a link to packakges.ubuntu.com
[16:23] <fidel_> Steevca: it was just a link to packages.ubuntu.com
[16:24] <donavan01> cap... that could explain pastebin but facebook and google too ?
[16:24] <Travis-42> noob, Timmy: you could always just install the beta
[16:24] <Steevca> This is a clean install fidel_ ,so i didn;t mess enything.
[16:24] <cap> donavan01: I dono....
[16:24] <mrguser> Hi!
[16:24] <jeshwanth> jrib: I just used that make install after built it , so in make only any option is there to remove ?
[16:24] <Steevca> Timmy: http://www.noobslab.com/2011/11/ubuntu-1204-release-schedule.html
[16:24] <cap> donavan01: https://www.facebook.com/login.php  #Comes up for me...
[16:25] <mrguser> Yo!
[16:25] <fidel_> Steevca: then i dont get it - i was on 11.10myself until last week - and gimp was available thosedays for sure - and it still should according to thr packages-page
[16:25] <ubuntu64bit> lernid keeps getting a connection interupted? nothing is wrong with my connection im using 12.04 beta
[16:25] <cap> donavan01: (But i'm not a facebooker, so .... )
[16:25] <oCean> ubuntu64bit: please use #ubuntu+1 channel for that
[16:25] <Steevca> fidel_: Must be some problem with installation.
[16:25] <cap> donavan01: (I'm more of an email person.)
[16:26] <atjepatatje> jrib, the output for the hanging apt-get http://pastebin.ca/2139801
[16:26] <donavan01> cap ... thats what Im saying ...  I can get it to work on my windows box but ubuntu is just having a fit... I tried disaling IPv6 just to be safe and like I said I added google and opendns address to my list and nothing ... I can ping no problem but the browsers just wont connect to the sites like they should
[16:27] <cap> donavan01: Check to see if you have correct nameserver(s) in /etc/resolv.conf
[16:27] <jrib> atjepatatje: the important one in this case is the .postinst
[16:27] <Steevca> fidel_: I will try to find a new repos. for gimp,and add it and check then.
[16:27] <cap> donavan01: Can I PM you?
[16:27] <atjepatatje> jrib unfortunatly gedit is not installed, is there any other way to get the file content in my pastebin/
[16:28] <jrib> atjepatatje: there's probably a way to do it in nano but I don't know it.  Why not use pastebinit?
[16:28] <jrib> !pastebinit | atjepatatje
[16:28] <fidel_> Steevca: there shouldnt be any reason to search new/additional repos. does apt work for any other packages?
[16:28] <Steevca> fidel_: It does.
[16:29] <atjepatatje> jrib the problem is a cant get it from my cli screen within ubuntu as the file output is too big
[16:29] <jrib> !away > Kiryx|afk
[16:30] <jrib> atjepatatje: well if you can install pastebinit (I don't know if apt will let you), then why not use that?
[16:30] <Dr_Willis> atjepatatje,  use the pastebinit command perhaps?
[16:30] <atjepatatje> jrib ok I understand you (now)
[16:31] <MrKeuner> hello, what is the portion of gnome shell which appears when mouse is moved to lower right corner, called?
[16:31] <bubuz> hi guys - when i try and apt-get remove postfix - it also wants to remove my nagios3 install and some other packages. how can I stop this? I don't see why the other packages depend on it
[16:32] <Star_Light> hello. What is the command in Ubuntu if I want to see which is my bash?
[16:32] <MrKeuner> hello, after rhytymbox is minimized, I can control it however, cannot bring the actual application window back. How do you do that?
[16:32] <guakkione> Hi
[16:32] <Star_Light> I want to see my bash. And  I look for a command for that
[16:32] <guakkione> What's the difefrence between this channel and freenode one?
[16:32] <Dr_Willis> chsh shows what your default shell is i belive,.
[16:32] <dak0> Hello, I need help
[16:33] <Dr_Willis> guakkione,  this is freenode....
[16:33] <atjepatatje> jrib http://paste.ubuntu.com/944349/
[16:33] <guakkione> :O
[16:33] <guakkione> Dr_Willis: but I'm just entered in irc.ubuntu.com
[16:33] <jrib> atjepatatje: why did you say this was too big, it's about 7 lines :)
[16:33] <atjepatatje> jrib, wrong file
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> #ubuntu channel on the freenode network. any freenode server the #ubuntu channel is  'here'
[16:34] <dak0> When I open movies with ubuntu player or VLC, people are BLUE, my PC is dual booted with Windows 7, so I booted windows and opened the movies seems like they fine there
[16:34] <Dr_Willis> and that server is part of the freenode network.
[16:34] <atjepatatje> jrib http://paste.ubuntu.com/944353/
[16:34] <guakkione> Ooooooh
[16:34] <jrib> atjepatatje: you see the "set -e" in that file?  On the line right below that add "set -x"
[16:34] <Star_Light> I gave -> ps -ef | grep $$ and the output is bash
[16:34] <guakkione> what a shame
[16:35] <Dr_Willis> What were you expecting? :)
[16:35] <Steevca> fidel_: Is there a way that i can get all the sources to defualt state?
[16:35] <bubuz> hi guys - when i try and apt-get remove postfix. the box isnt a mail server and sendEmail does the job. however apt-get remove wants to remove my nagios3 install and some other packages. how can I stop this? I don't see why the other packages depend on it
[16:35] <atjepatatje> jrib do you mean line 6 of this file? http://paste.ubuntu.com/944353/
[16:36] <Dubaco1> !aptpinning bubuz
[16:36] <LcNeon> hi
[16:36] <Dubaco1> google aptpinning bubuz
[16:36] <LcNeon> how do i show file length with ls?
[16:36] <LcNeon> file size*
[16:36] <oCean> Dubaco1: please don't send others to google, thanks
[16:37] <jrib> atjepatatje: yes, in line 7 add "set -x"
[16:37] <bubuz> lol
[16:37] <Dubaco1> oCean:  democracy not autocracy
[16:37] <atjepatatje> jrib leave set -e and add set -e to it?
[16:37] <bubuz> oCean, got any better ideas?
[16:37] <oCean> Dubaco1: wrong, it is not a democracy. When you entered the channel, or bot showed you links to the CoC for the channel
[16:38] <Dubaco1> bubuz: other seach engines are available other than google
[16:38] <oCean> Dubaco1: stop it now
[16:38] <bubuz> lol
[16:38] <LcNeon> got it ls -s
[16:38] <LcNeon> or not
[16:38] <bubuz> does anybody have any ideas with my problem?
[16:38] <Steevca> fidel_: I found this http://pastebin.com/yhypPfA9
[16:38] <Dubaco1> bubuz yes one minuate
[16:39] <atjepatatje> jrib I added set -x and left set -e where it was. The file now looks like => http://paste.ubuntu.com/944363/
[16:39] <beandog> bubuz: try installing ssmtp and see if that removes postfix and not anything else
[16:39] <Dubaco1> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto

[16:39] <bubuz> but i dont want to install ssmtp :/
[16:40] <bubuz> thanks Dubaco1
[16:40] <beandog> bubuz: you need a mailer
[16:40] <beandog> or rather, the packages do
[16:40] <bubuz> i have sendEmail install and working
[16:40] <beandog> oh, gotcha
[16:40] <jolicloud> hihi

[16:41] <LcNeon> how can i view folder/file size's in terminal ?

[16:42] <iLogical> ubuntu upgraded kernel and some stuff, now all is slower, what do i do?
[16:42] <Chaosadnd> All meaning what?
[16:42] <atjepatatje> jrib the output after reinstall looks like this (last lines) http://paste.ubuntu.com/944368/
[16:42] <Chaosadnd> the whole system?
[16:42] <iLogical> everything
[16:43] <atjepatatje> jrib after this the program hangs
[16:43] <iLogical> maybe it's youtube
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> iLogical: do you use proprietary video drivers?
[16:43] <iLogical> yes
[16:43] <iLogical> but it worked nicely with them
[16:43] <ActionParsnip> iLogical: is libreoffice slow as well?
[16:43] <iLogical> yes ActionParsnip
[16:44] <iLogical> i don't remember if it was slow that way before
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> iLogical: try reinstalling dkms, may help
[16:44] <iLogical> dkms?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> iLogical: yes
[16:44] <iLogical> ok
[16:44] <iLogical> ty
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> iLogical: it should rebuild the video kernel driver and may help
[16:45] <iLogical> restart needed
[16:45] <iLogical> brb
[16:46] <silvermir> hello can somebody help me pls ?
[16:47] <silvermir> i have an external drive
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> silvermir: ask and see
[16:47] <jonathanellis> Hi. Can anyone please suggest a laptop / docking station combination or a PCMCIA graphics card that will allow me to run two external monitors on Ubuntu (not just the laptop screen and an external monitor)
[16:47] <silvermir> which can not mount
[16:47] <jonathanellis> Someone suggested a Thinkpad some time ago but I forgot which one
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | jonathanellis
[16:48] <silvermir> disk utility shows that the dirve has  byte
[16:48] <silvermir> 0
[16:48] <glycoknob> hi, I'm looking for advice. I'm using lucid, created a mdadm raid5 on 3 hdd, after reboot, no filesystem anymore
[16:48] <iLogical> ActionParsnip, still slow
[16:48] <ActionParsnip> silvermir: can you give the output of:  sudo fdisk -l ; lsb_release -a; uname -a        please use a pastebin to host
[16:48] <iLogical> it wasn't that way before this kernel upgrade
[16:49] <ActionParsnip> iLogical: can you give a pastebin of the output of:  sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a
[16:49] <glycoknob> cat /proc/mdstat looks nice, I can't explain why the data is gone'
[16:49] <iLogical> of course
[16:49] <MrUnagi> is there a way to route remote lan traffic through a vpn without adding a static route to the router
[16:49] <Epuuuu> hi
[16:50] <iLogical> http://pastebin.com/vXNFeew0
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> iLogical: you are using the open source driver  'driver=radeon'
[16:50] <iLogical> hmm
[16:50] <ActionParsnip> iLogical: were you using that before?
[16:50] <iLogical> i want go back to the proprietary
[16:50] <ikonia> MrUnagi: you can add the route on your own machine
[16:50] <iLogical> no
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> iLogical: uninstall the proprietary driver then reinstall it, may help
[16:51] <MrUnagi> ikonia: meaning all nodes inside the lag having a static route to the vpn server?
[16:51] <Epuuuu> spain?
[16:51] <ActionParsnip> !es
[16:51] <iLogical> if the foss driver were good i would certainly use it, but that's not the case
[16:51] <iLogical> ok
[16:52] <ActionParsnip> iLogical: works in some cases, like older ATi chips
[16:53] <iLogical> what's the package I need reinstall, or use complete removal then intall it?
[16:53] <iLogical> fglrx?
[16:53] <ikonia> MrUnagi: no, meaning your machine will route traffic, if you want other machines to do so, they would need to use your machine as a router
[16:53] <jost> moin
[16:54] <MrUnagi> ikonia: so the only way to do it without configuring each node to use the vpn as gateway, is to add the static route
[16:54] <iLogical> brb
[16:55] <silvermir> pastebin?
[16:55] <Star_Light> ideone is better
[16:55] <Star_Light> it has built in compiler :p
[16:55] <atjepatatje> jrib, are you still there/
[16:55] <ikonia> MrUnagi: pretty much, tha'ts how networking/routing works
[16:56] <MrUnagi> ikonia: unfortunately the cheap router being used will only let me do static routes by turning off NAT
[16:56] <derek12> chaps
[16:56] <MrUnagi> ikonia: if i turn of NAT, ill lose remote access to the router won't i
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: there may be a config file you can add that gets rn when the vpn comes up
[16:56] <derek12> Authentication is needed to run '/usr/bin/dropbox' as the super user, my password for admin doesn't work, how do I become a SUPER USER?!
[16:57] <MrUnagi> derek12: sudo
[16:57] <ikonia> derek12: sudo /usr/bin/dropbox
[16:57] <countfuzzball> If I put the libraries in /bin and /lib into a tmpfs called /ram/bin and /ram/lib, how can I get the initramfs to acknowledge these changes and not complain when /lib/libc6.so doesn't exist?
[16:57] <wylde> !root | derek12
[16:57] <iLogical> ActionParsnip, it seems to have worked, thanks
[16:57] <MrUnagi> wylde: i love how ubottu answers that one
[16:57] <MrUnagi> ActionParsnip: gets rn?
[16:57] <wylde> :)
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> iLogical: np man, may be a bug, not tried a newer release?
[16:57] <derek12> apparently the dropbox daemon is not installed
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> MrUnagi: run*
[16:58] <iLogical> just the one in the upgrade
[16:58] <ActionParsnip> derek12: reinstall the nutilus-dropbox package, may help
[16:58] <iLogical> i am happy the way it is for the next two weeks, exams season at uni :p
[16:58] <cesarstafe> people, a question, how can I uninstall packages that are with 'rc' status?
[16:59] <cesarstafe> rc  couchdb                              1.0.1-0ubuntu3~lucid2                      RESTful document oriented database, system DB
[16:59] <silvermir> http://pastebin.com/aNg9X6HB
[16:59] <cesarstafe> should I do somethink like 'apt-get remove couchdb' and nothing more?
[16:59] <ActionParsnip> cesarstafe: sudo dpkg -P couchdb
[17:00] <cesarstafe> ok
[17:00] <cesarstafe> I'll try
[17:00] <Endafy> when is 12.04 coming out? I only do LTSes and am looking forward to checking out this new version
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> cesarstafe: it's not installed, just some remaining config is
[17:00] <wylde> Endafy: 26th
[17:00] <Endafy> ty
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> Endafy: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Precise
[17:00] <cesarstafe> -P what does it?
[17:00] <cesarstafe> remove all config files?
[17:00] <Endafy> dont need preciceness I just wanted to know if it was ok to start backing up for the upgrade lol
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> cesarstafe: (p)urge
[17:00] <cesarstafe> ahh.. ok
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> cesarstafe: yes for that package
[17:01] <derek12> i followed this http://www.liberiangeek.net/2012/04/install-dropbox-in-ubuntu-12-04-precise-pangolin/ and now I think my dropbox install efforts are forever broken
  http://pastebin.com/aNg9X6HB
[17:01] <Endafy> like I said I only do LTSes because I dont like formatting
[17:01] <ActionParsnip> derek12: precise isn't supported here, ask in #ubuntu+1 please
[17:01] <cesarstafe> is the same as 'apt-get remove package --purge'
[17:01] <phibxr> Endafy, 48 hours +/- something.
[17:01] <Endafy> right
[17:01] <derek12> ok
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> silvermir: I never said to run lsb_release or uname with sudo, it's not needed (but the output is the same)
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> silvermir: if you use sudo when it's not needed, you can damage your OS
[17:03] <silvermir> ok i didnt know it thx for info
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> silvermir: seems the device is /dev/sdb1    when you last unplugged the device, did you use the safe remove feature?
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> silvermir: or did you just pull it out?
[17:03] <wylde> silvermir: try commands first without it, if the command complains then use it. Safest way to go about things, especially if you are unsure what a command does.
[17:03] <silvermir> no it isnt sdb1
[17:03] <silvermir> its not listed
[17:03] <silvermir> onyl disk utuilty can list it Device: /dev/sdg
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> silvermir: seems your Linux partitions are not listed either...
[17:04] <wylde> *cough*and keep regular backups!*cough*
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> silvermir: what file system does the storage use?
[17:04] <silvermir> i think its ntfs
[17:04] <silvermir> but im not sure
[17:04] <silvermir> mybe its fat32
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> silvermir: when you last unplugged it, did you use 'safely remov'?
[17:05] <silvermir> last time i used it with windows
[17:05] <ActionParsnip> silvermir: yes, it has the safe remove feature, did you use it?
[17:05] <silvermir> yes
[17:05] <silvermir> but
[17:06] <silvermir> when i start it there is a clicking noise
[17:06] <ActionParsnip> silvermir: oh dear, not good
[17:06] <beandog> sounds like hardware failure
[17:06] <beandog> things that go click in the night
[17:07] <ActionParsnip> silvermir: if you manually mount it, is it ok? If you only see /dev/sdg  you may be able to use dd_rescure and take an image then mount that
[17:07] <silvermir> i downt know how to mount manuelly
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> !mount | silvermir
[17:08] <ActionParsnip> silvermir: it may be dying or dead.
[17:08] <silvermir> mom i try it
[17:09] <silvermir> i will only rescue my data and than throw the drive away
[17:10] <Lars_> Is the current daily build of Precise considered frozen, aka identical to 12.04 final?
[17:11] <silvermir> mount: can't find /dev/sdg in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[17:11] <wylde> another lesson brought to you by the letter .... backup your data! >.<
[17:11] <jrib> atjepatatje: sorry, I had to step away for a bit.  Are you still trying to solve your issue?
[17:11] <wylde> Lars_: #ubuntu+1 for precise still.
[17:12] <Lars_> wylde: What do you mean?
[17:12] <Lars_> ah, wrong channel
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> silvermir: you can't mount /dev/sdg  its a drive, not a partition
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> silvermir: you'll mount /dev/sdg1
[17:13] <wylde> :)
[17:14] <cesarstafe> people, another question, if I add an executable with 'update-rc.d APP default'
[17:14] <cesarstafe> how can I do to remove it if I want to revert this?
[17:14] <silvermir> same answer
