[04:09] <Roky> alright guys I am having a problem. Everytime I try and boot the installer it hangs on kernel_thread_helper+0x7 0x10. Anyone have any ideas I could try out.
[04:10] <DarkDigitalDream> skreet: intel mobile 4 integrated chipset, according to lspci. Inspiron 1540 laptop, and all stock hardware. Nothing fancy, thats for sure.
[04:10] <dukz> ok, will register and get the download
[04:10] <drizzt_> DarkDigitalDream, so reevrt to 9.04
[04:10] <dukz> will get back to you guys
[04:10] <Jordan_U> dukz: There is Super Grub Disk based on Grub legacy, and Super Grub2 Disk based on Grub2. You want Super Grub2 Disk since Ubuntu 10.04 uses Grub2
[04:11] <dukz> Jordan_U: thanks. trying it out
[04:11] <Jordan_U> dukz: You're welcome.
[04:11] <DarkDigitalDream> drizzt_: not a bad idea. Is there a way to revert without reinstalling everything or needing a CD? (my cd drive is busted, otherwise I would have just started from scratch by now)
[04:11] <skreet> DarkDigitalDream: Unfortunately drizzt_ is probably right.  The newer kernel/Xorg and your hardware aren't getting along.  If you're feeling brave and can stick it out a bit I'd write a bug report on launchpad.
[04:14] <dayrot> OK, so sudo chmod appeared to work, but when I look at the properties of the folder they are the same...? what gives?
[04:14] <DarkDigitalDream> I'm not against moving back if it means stability. This old laptop can't handle any of the eye candy the new OS offers anyway.
[04:14] <skreet> dayrot: Can you post the terminal contents to a pastebin?
[04:15] <skreet> DarkDigitalDream: eye candy brings up an idea, did you try disabling visual effects?
[04:15] <DarkDigitalDream> skreet: yes.
[04:15] <skreet> DarkDigitalDream: bummer.
[04:15] <skreet> Sounded good, right?
[04:15] <dayrot> it just says [mode of 'Music' changed to 0705 (rwx---r-x)]
[04:16] <dayrot> i was trying to change "other" to allow read and execute
[04:16] <skreet> So, what was your chmod command, exactly?
[04:17] <dayrot> sudo chmod -v o+rX Music
[04:17] <DarkDigitalDream> yeah, it was the first thing I tried when I started thinking seriously about fixing things. The screen glitches worry me the most. The other bugs only effect their respective programs, but if Xorg decides to kick the bucket, I could lose a lot of code.
[04:17] <haardz> Hello all! What you think about this post? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/06/many-hands-make-light-work-few-make-it.html
[04:17] <skreet> dayrot: Can you tell me what "ls -ld Music" says?
[04:17] <dayrot> sure one sec
[04:17] <vishaltelangre> dayrot, sudo chmod +x Music
[04:18] <dayrot> drwx------ 1 blah blah blah
[04:18] <dayrot> so, not the correct permissions
[04:18] <Maletor> How do I make the text expand when I resize the terminal?
[04:18] <aliendude5300> This probably doesn't matter at all to any of you, but it _really_ irritates me that in Ubuntu Lucid not all the icons in the menus on the panel at the top of the screen are there any more... how do I get those back? I really miss my bookmarks icon, and the icons in the system menu. In Karmic, at least there was an option to show the menu icons, but now, that option isn't there any more -- who's stupid decision was that? I don
[04:19] <skreet> dayrot: o+rX should work, though.  Out of curiousity try sudo chmod 705 Music
[04:19] <dayrot> ok
[04:19] <dayrot> I did that, and then did ls -ld and it's the same
[04:19] <vishaltelangre> aliendude5300, which icons?
[04:19] <Jordan_U> dayrot: sudo chmod 755 Music
[04:20] <aplund> dayrot: It is a read/write filesystem?
[04:20] <Arsin> Anyone fold with their GPU here?
[04:20] <skreet> aplund: You'd think it would fail :/
[04:20] <dayrot> Should be, just an ntfs drive from a windows box
[04:20] <skreet> dayrot: AH
[04:20] <Jordan_U> dayrot: There is not much point in group having less permissions than world
[04:20] <aplund> dayrot: not always
[04:20] <skreet> dayrot: You cannot change permissions of an ntfs volume.
[04:20] <dayrot> oh, well shit
[04:20] <skreet> dayrot: Since they are not unix permissions, what you want to do it change how you mount it.
[04:21] <dayrot> ok
[04:21] <skreet> dayrot: Show me the command you used to mount it.
[04:21] <dayrot> I just clicked the drive under places
[04:21] <skreet> Ah
[04:21] <skreet> Must default to root-only, then.
[04:21] <skreet> Which is odd.
[04:21] <collectek> collectek:test
[04:22] <skreet> dayrot: I happen to have an NTFS volume from another system, let me take a peek.
[04:22] <dayrot> awesome, thank you :)
[04:22] <skreet> dayrot: Can you show me (via pastebin) the output of 'mount' in a terminal?
[04:22] <skreet> dayrot: Mine defaulted to using ntfs-3g with 'allow_other' option
[04:22] <dayrot> ok, I'm not sure the command i should use to mount it
[04:22] <skreet> dayrot: No problem, just type 'mount' to get a snapshot of what is currently mounted.
[04:23] <dayrot> ok
[04:23] <skreet> dayrot: Really just the line with Music (or whatever) is fine.
[04:23] <igoryonya_> hiexpo: didn't find anything in home folder, even searched for pdf
[04:23] <vishaltelangre> !ntfs | dayrot
[04:24] <User01> skreet: by that I meant if it's installed on a nvidia setup will it have a problem detecting ati cards
[04:24] <User01> (on another system)
[04:24] <aplund> dayrot: there is info about this in Documentation/filesystems/ntfs.txt
[04:24] <dayrot> http://pastebin.org/320375
[04:24] <aplund> dayrot: in the umask= option
[04:24] <hiexpo> igoryonya_, have you printed a pdf yet
[04:25] <vishaltelangre> !nvidia | User01
[04:25] <skreet> dayrot: So basically, because it's using fuse/ntfs-3g the filesystem permissions you see are just for compatability.
[04:25] <skreet> dayrot: For example, I am able to read/write to my ntfs volume as my user, even though they all show rwx------ in ls -l.
[04:25] <skreet> dayrot: You should be as well?
[04:26] <aplund> dayrot: you probably want dmask=705
[04:26] <dayrot> I can on this computer, the problem I am having is I can't seem to share this folder on the network.
[04:26] <dayrot> I was thinking maybe it was a problem with permissions
[04:27] <aliendude5300> vishaltelangre: the ones in the menus...
[04:27] <skreet> dayrot:  There are so many layers of abstractions here, you're trying to mount an NTFS volume and share it via Samba? (to Windows systems)
[04:27] <dayrot> no both are running ubuntu
[04:27] <igoryonya_> hiexpo: I used File -> Print -> In print dialog, chose CUPS/PDF -> clicked print, a printer icon in the system try appeared for a few seconds and disappeared.
[04:27] <vahid> hi, ubuntu has become unbootable on my other computer.  Icons disappeared, text was replaced with squares, and applications stopped loading.  So I restarted and system wouldn't boot.  How do I diagnose this?
[04:27] <vishaltelangre> dayrot, then the folder (or ntfs drive?) mounting for you but you're not able to read/write the content of that, right?
[04:27] <skreet> dayrot: So, how are you trying to share it.  Right click > 'Sharing Options'?
[04:27] <dayrot> yes
[04:28] <dayrot> and it says it needs to add permissions, do it automatically? and i said yes
[04:28] <dayrot> but it didn't work
[04:28] <Jordan_U> vahid: It sounds like you lost your hard drive (possibly hardware problem). What happens when you try to boot?
[04:28] <dayrot> which is why i thought permission problem
[04:28] <aliendude5300> vishaltelangre: I managed to find a solution -- running gconftool-2 -s -t boolean /desktop/gnome/interface/buttons_have_icons true
[04:28] <aliendude5300> ... and gconftool-2 -s -t boolean /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons true
[04:28] <vishaltelangre> aliendude5300, just right click on Applications tab on top panel, and select Edit Munus
[04:28] <vahid> Jordan_U, it leaves me at a grub command prompt rescue thing
[04:29] <vahid> i have booted from a live usb and i can mount and read the drive fine
[04:29] <aplund> dayrot: perhaps just setting yourself as the default uid will be enough.  You'll need to add uid=blah in fstab
[04:29] <aliendude5300> vishaltelangre: That's not what I meant, but it's fixed now. :)
[04:29] <aliendude5300> vishaltelangre: Thanks anyways! :)
[04:29] <vishaltelangre> aliendude5300, Okay!
[04:29] <hiexpo> igoryonya_, print another page and see if a window pops up and showsprogress as itprints
[04:29] <vahid> however... ls -al tells me most things arent writable
[04:29] <skreet> aplund:  There is probably no fstab line, it's gnomegvfs
[04:29] <Jordan_U> vahid: Did you run any commands unvolving "rm" recently? Or any commands that you didn't understand?
[04:29] <vahid> Jordan_U, nope
[04:30] <aplund> skreet: gnomegvfs doesn't allow mount options?
[04:30] <dayrot> I want someone without an account to be able to have access though..
[04:30] <skreet> aplund:  I'm sure it does, but it's not in fstab =)
[04:30] <vahid> Jordan_U, I was just in the process of troubleshooting an app that wouldn't run in wine
[04:30] <aplund> dayrot: then you'll probably need to set the umask= mount option as well
[04:30] <Jordan_U> vahid: What did you do between booting the working system and seeing squares?
[04:31] <dayrot> hmm, ok i'll go look at fstab, this was working before I installed the latest version of ubuntu... weird
[04:31] <vishaltelangre> dayrot, to allow access to assign execute permissions to owner, group and others also, use chmod +x file_name
[04:31] <vahid> Jordan_U, ummm, quite a lot, it had been over a day the system was on.
[04:31] <aplund> vishaltelangre: This is an NTFS fs, that won't work (see above)
[04:32] <Jordan_U> vahid: The symptoms you are explaining are exacly those that you would get if you started deleting every file in your Ubuntu install, which is concerning to say the least.
[04:32] <vishaltelangre> aplund, oh, okay..
[04:32] <vahid> in / the only folders that are writable are vmlinuz, vmlinuz.old, lib, and tmp
[04:33] <vahid> Jordan_U, is there some way to repair ubuntu?  or is a clean install necessary?
[04:33] <igoryonya> now it just silently closes the program as soon as I try to print.
[04:33] <vishaltelangre> vahid, you need to been have root privileges to write/execute others too...
[04:33] <vahid> ah ok
[04:34] <shiba_> Ubuntu light would be perfect if i could hide the menu's and actually see my background
[04:34] <makk> I'm trying to write random bytes to a file. What's a good way to do this? The file only needs to be ~4kb
[04:34] <vahid> vishaltelangre, aaaah yes, the root user part of the privelages IS writable.  I see.
[04:34] <Jordan_U> vahid: Did you mean readable? If those are the only files that you see then you have indeed deleted pretty close to all of Ubuntu. You may be able to recover some important documents but it may all be lost
[04:34] <forkup> what partition types will both ubuntu and windows "see"?
[04:34] <mawst> Anyone know how I can have wireless inet AND wired lan enabled and still use my internet? See diagram: http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/131/networksetup.jpg
[04:35] <vishaltelangre> vahid, now check if you're logged in as root, ls -ld
[04:35] <vahid> Jordan_U, nah I meant writable, and I can see the others.  Everything seems to still exist
[04:36] <vahid> vishaltelangre, that cmd just lists directory "."  root root
[04:36] <vahid> is that right?
[04:36] <britany_okla> hey I am usuing 10.04 I uninsalled flash cause it  wasn't working now it stalls at 82 percent any ideas
[04:36] <flaco> hi all... I download glib from source.. how can upgrade glib without reinstall the program that depends of glib?
[04:36] <makk> britany_okla, What stalls? The uninstall?
[04:37] <aplund> flaco: you can try installing to /usr/local
[04:37] <britany_okla> installing flash plugin makk
[04:37] <vishaltelangre> forkup, windows mount and allow to write/execute fat/ntfs...
[04:37] <aplund> flaco: but I'd only suggest trying that if you know what you are doing
[04:37] <Jordan_U> vahid: Ok. You can fix grub from the liveCD via: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide , but first you should check your disk's SMART diagnostics from System > Administration > Disk Utility
[04:37] <britany_okla> makk the installation
[04:37] <makk> britany_okla, Installing from the Software Center?
[04:37] <britany_okla> yes makk
[04:38] <vishaltelangre> vahid, ls -l
[04:38] <flaco> aplund, I installed the new version... but I'm trying to compiling some program but is claiming that there is 2 version of glib... I need to "remove" the old one...
[04:38] <vahid> Jordan_U, disk has 10 bad sectors :(
[04:38] <makk> britany_okla, I was having some installation percent issues earlier this week, but the installation went through. Are you familiar with the command line?
[04:38] <makk> terminal*
[04:38] <britany_okla> yes
[04:38] <Jordan_U> vahid: Back up anything important from the drive before doing anything else
[04:38] <britany_okla> i think i am ok let makk now let me try it
[04:38] <vahid> vishaltelangre, what am i looking for in the ls output?
[04:39] <vishaltelangre> vahid, disk checking? execute fsck
[04:39] <vahid> Jordan_U, I already have more or less.  It is a relatively fresh install, just a few days old.  Main loss is all the updates and compiz config I have done
[04:39] <vishaltelangre> !fsck | vahid
[04:39] <aplund> flaco: strange.  You really won't be able to remove the system glib.
[04:40] <aplund> flaco: installing to /usr/local usually overrides the system packages for all intents and purposes
[04:41] <vishaltelangre> vahid, are in your home directory with root privileges while executing that ls command? You'll see the file/directory permissions by that command...
[04:41] <vahid> i should fix the boot problem before fscking right?
[04:42] <vahid> vishaltelangre, i am in the directory that the hdd is mounted too
[04:42] <flaco> aplund, I'm getting this http://dpaste.com/204980/
[04:42] <stephans> Dows anyone know how I get out of a Gnome Terminal Server Client Full screen session without disconnecting or logging out?
[04:42] <skulski> i launched a proram that is crashing and taking over x. I am in the console and i want to kill it it, but its not showing up in ps aux
[04:43] <vishaltelangre> vahid, are you getting problem with bootloader or booting your ubuntu from bootloader (grub or other)
[04:43] <jmdc> hi. With desktop effects turned on, there is a delay when alt-tabbing, and in a few other things in the window manager. I get good 3d performance otherwise. Using flgrx driver on a radeon hd3400
[04:43] <dayrot> skreet, so I'm looking at fstab and trying to figure this out, but you were saying something about it being mounted with fuse something? I looked that up and found it's some virtual filesystem, but honestly that stuff is a bit over my head at the moment. Do you think I just need to mount the drive in a different way to get it to work properly?
[04:43] <vahid> vishaltelangre, yea, i just get the grub rescue thing.  Im currently on a live usb
[04:43] <britany_okla> makk still isn't working right not sure why
[04:43] <aplund> flaco: It's not saying remove the old verison... it's saying point to the new package information.
[04:44] <aplund> flaco: Did you install to /usr/local?
[04:44] <britany_okla> makk it won't let me upload pictures on facebook
[04:44] <aplund> flaco: or did you install to /usr?
[04:44] <makk> britany_okla, Did the install work?
[04:44] <britany_okla> makk yes
[04:45] <makk> britany_okla, What did you install?
[04:45] <flaco> aplund, I'm installing again in /usr/local
[04:45] <vishaltelangre> vahid, by using ubuntu's live cd, you can fix problems resembling your grub... can I help you how you should fix the problem of grub (if you are not seeing it on the computer startup)?
[04:45] <britany_okla> adobe flash plugin for firefox
[04:45] <britany_okla> makk adobe flash plugin for firefox
[04:45] <aplund> flaco: Setting --prefix=/usr/local in configure or autogen.sh should be enough
[04:46] <ubuntubama> Enter text here...
[04:46] <vishaltelangre> britany_okla, hey you need that plugin or anything else you want to know about that?
[04:46] <britany_okla> vishaltelangre yes
[04:46] <vahid> vishaltelangre, Jordan_U provided a helpful link I am reading through now.  http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[04:48] <britany_okla> the flash plugin is working now makk vishalangre but i still can't upload pics on facebook vishaltelangre
[04:48] <ubuntubama> user profile updated"=from
[04:48] <vishaltelangre> britany_okla, hey friend just a minute, I'll tell you the package name, just install that...
[04:49] <makk> britany_okla, But flash is working? Does the Facebook upload use Flash or Java?
[04:49] <britany_okla> not sure now makk it says it has an error running script
[04:49] <vahid> vishaltelangre, just finished mounting all the appropriate folders to chroot into.  However when I type "sudo chroot /mnt" i get "cannont run command /bin/bash : Exec format error"  What does it mean?
[04:49] <britany_okla> but doesn't tell me what script makk
[04:49] <makk> britany_okla, Last time I checked, it was java. Let me check
[04:49] <mad_dog> facebook uses java
[04:50] <jmdc> any ideas for speeding up desktop effects?
[04:50] <makk> britany_okla, Yeah, it uses Java
[04:51] <makk> britany_okla, search for icedtea java plugin
[04:51] <britany_okla> thanks makk
[04:51] <dorian>  /whois tony
[04:52] <makk> britany_okla, you might need to install openjdk java 6 runtime too, but i think it'll do it for you
[04:52] <makk> dorian, he's my neighbor
[04:52] <britany_okla> makk it says i have icetea java
[04:52] <vishaltelangre> britany_okla, oh that's it... I'm having shockwave flash plugin as well icedtea java plugin too
[04:52] <dorian> lol sorrry, typed in the wrong window
[04:52] <britany_okla> makk i will check openjdk
[04:52] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Hello - I have a few issues I was wondering if I could get some help with.  First of all, Firestarter - when I try starting it up, it tells me that it failed to start the firewall because "The device "eth0" is not ready.  Please check your network device and make sure your Internet connection is active."  Well - my wireless is working just fine - so what's the problem?
[04:53] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, eth0 sounds like a wired connection
[04:53] <britany_okla> makk it says i have it
[04:53] <flaco> aplund, I'm getting the same result
[04:53] <britany_okla> makk do i uninstall it and reinstall it
[04:53] <rr6937-aafxfhe> makk: OK.  So how do I switch the target from "eth0" to the appropriate one?
[04:53] <dorian> eth0 is your ethernet link
[04:53] <dorian> not wireless
[04:53] <aplund> flaco, try: "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local"
[04:53] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, not sure, don't use firestarter
[04:53] <aplund> then try it
[04:53] <dorian> hmm
[04:54] <makk> britany_okla, one second
[04:54] <rr6937-aafxfhe> makk: Why not?
[04:54] <britany_okla> makk i am sorry makk u guys have been awesome
[04:54] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, don't need to, i guess.
[04:54] <vahid> "sudo chroot /mnt" returns "cannot run command : /bin/bash Exec format error"   what is the problem?
[04:54] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, doesn't ubuntu close ports automatically?
[04:55] <makk> britany_okla, type about:plugins into the firefox address bar
[04:55] <flaco> aplund, the same...
[04:55] <enav> hi
[04:55] <Jordan_U> vahid: Are you using the 64 bit LiveCD?
[04:55] <vahid> aaaah no
[04:55] <rr6937-aafxfhe> makk: Really !?  I didn't know that.  I'm still kind of new to Linux, so ...  I got it to work now.  But even when I run it - I don't see any activity.  So it's probably just useless anyway ...
[04:55] <aplund> flaco: hmm... that's very odd.. how about adding: "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib", not that it should already be the case
[04:55] <enav> how do i know why my computer is freezing up some times...there is some log to view the reason?????
[04:55] <vahid> its a 64bit installation, so should I be?
[04:56] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, It's not useless...hold on, let me find the right info on it.
[04:56] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, But if you have no reason to open ports, you should be fine
[04:56] <Jordan_U> vahid: It's not strictly necessary, if the LiveCD has grub2.
[04:56] <flaco> aplund, how can I remove a library from pkg?
[04:57] <britany_okla> makk laptop is getting hot
[04:57] <vishaltelangre> !firestarter | rr6937-aafxfhe
[04:57] <aplund> flaco: from pkg-config?
[04:57] <britany_okla> i got to shut down makk but thanks for help
[04:57] <flaco> aplund, yes
[04:57] <makk> britany_okla, Okay.
[04:57] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/security#firewallantivirus
[04:57] <vahid> Jordan_U, how do I determine if it does?
[04:58] <vahid> Jordan_U, and whether it does or not, wouldnt the issue be with chroot?
[04:58] <aplund> flaco: strange question.  But I guess removing the apropriate files from (prefix)/lib/pkgconfig
[04:58] <rr6937-aafxfhe> makk:  I see.  Yeah - I guess if you don't do any like downloading of music or anything like that - there would be no need to open any more ports ...
[04:58] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, Correct. So you should be all right
[04:59] <Jordan_U> vahid: "grub-install --version" If you are using 10.04 on the installed system and that command reports "1.98" for the version, then you are fine using the LiveCD's grub install rather than the grub-install from your installed system (which is what chroot allows you to use)
[05:00] <vahid> Jordan_U, "the program grub is currently not installed
[05:00] <Jordan_U> vahid: grub-install is one word, not spaces
[05:00] <bnagy> hey I am searching for a file called liblvm2clusterlock.so -- it should be installed as part of lvm2, but it's not on my system
[05:00] <bnagy> I have tried apt-file search with no luck :S
[05:00] <ubuntu> Testing lubuntu
[05:00] <rr6937-aafxfhe> ubottu: Thanks for information.  I guess the reason why I wanted to find out more (or use) a firewall - is because I'm not pleased with Firefox's performance so far.  A couple times already - clamtk has detected viruses.  You shouldn't have to download and run all these extensions to be protected.  Which Linux web browser would be best for security and to prevent adware/spyware and viruses?  I know there are a few.  I
[05:00] <rr6937-aafxfhe> know I don't need to really worry about viruses - but it's still REALLY annoying ...
[05:00] <vahid> oh yea, version 1.98
[05:01] <ubuntu> :D
[05:01] <vahid> Jordan_U, so i'll need to prepare the 64 bit ubuntu on my stick right?
[05:02] <rr6937-aafxfhe> makk:
[05:02] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Thanks for information.  I guess the reason why I wanted to find out more (or use) a firewall - is because I'm not pleased with Firefox's performance so far.  A couple times already - clamtk has detected viruses.  You shouldn't have to download and run all these extensions to be protected.  Which Linux web browser would be best for security and to prevent adware/spyware and viruses?  I know there are a few.  I
[05:02] <rr6937-aafxfhe> [21:00] <rr6937-aafxfhe> know I don't need to really worry about viruses - but it's still REALLY annoying ...
[05:02] <FloodBot1> rr6937-aafxfhe: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.

[05:02] <doleyb> After I upgraded to lucid my CLI started to get some weird boldface on keywords, how can I turn that off?
[05:02] <Jordan_U> vahid: You can do that, or you can use the grub-install on the liveCD with "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda" (that is assuming that you still have your Ubuntu partition mounted to /mnt, and that Ubuntu is installed to the drive sda)
[05:03] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, Whao, whoa, whoa. You don't need to download extensions and stuff to be protected...
[05:03] <paraintj> Where's a good path to install applications to on Ubuntu?
[05:03] <vishaltelangre> rr6937-aafxfhe, ubottu is just a bot, don't chat w/ it...!! ;)
[05:03] <Jordan_U> paraintj: What are you installing?
[05:04] <paraintj> I'm installing teamspeak3
[05:04] <Appl6> rr6937-aafxfhe: Are you sure that what clamtk said was a virus really was a virus?  Heuristics are sometimes wrong.  And if you download viruses, well, Firefox can't help you that much.  Chrome is probably your best bet for security.
[05:04] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, First, If you have a virus, it (probably) won't run on Ubuntu. Windows viruses won't work on Linux*
[05:04] <enav> how do i can diagnose the reason of my computer crash????????
[05:04] <paraintj> I was thinking of putting it in /tmp or maybe /opt not sure where people put there applications or where the default path to applications is that apt-get puts them and the synaptic package manager puts them
[05:05] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, If you're really worried, try Chrome or Chromium. They're faster anyway. But Firefox should be secure enough
[05:05] <vishaltelangre> paraintj, /usr/local/share
[05:05] <Appl6> paraintj: Most applications go in /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin.
[05:05] <vahid> Jordan_U, should I specify /dev/sda6 at the end of that command as that is the partition, or is sda fine?
[05:05] <Jordan_U> paraintj: teamspeak is available via apt, and if you need a newer version than that a package is probably available
[05:05] <paraintj> ok thanks guys
[05:05] <Jordan_U> vahid: You want to install to the drive's mbr, so just sda
[05:05] <vahid> ok thanks
[05:05] <paraintj> ohh thanks jordan_U I need to find the package for the new teamspeak3 then that would be very nice
[05:06] <Appl6> paraintj: If you do "echo $PATH" then you'll see where Ubuntu looks for applications to run.
[05:06] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, For the most part, though, you shouldn't have to worry about your Ubuntu box getting viruses. That doesn't mean you should do something stupid and open hot_pony_sex.exe just because you don't think it'll work though
[05:06] <paraintj> I did sudo apt-get install teamspeak-clicent but unfortunately it was the old version teamspeak2
[05:06] <Maarten> question.... Which RDP client would one recommend for ubuntu to connect to a Windows Server 20008 R2 Farm that uses Network Level Authentication?
[05:06] <paraintj> oh nice thanks apple
[05:06] <vahid> unrecognised option --root
[05:06] <rr6937-aafxfhe> makk: OK - I don't see either Chrome or Chromium in my Ubuntu Software Center.  What would be the terminal commands to use in order to acquire and install it?
[05:06] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, Chromium should be in there...hm.
[05:07] <vahid> oh, --root-directory... is one option
[05:07] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, It is, actually
[05:07] <vishaltelangre> makk, chrome sucks... I was installed crossover chromium... First time I was used that and within a moment was uninstalled! Firefox is great ever, no challenge to firefox!
[05:08] <makk> vishaltelangre, Nonsense! Chromium is FAR SUPERIOR! (they're both great)
[05:08] <rik__> firefox is getting abit bloated in my opinion
[05:08] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, Still don't see it? Have you refreshed your package list?
[05:08] <rik__> why use chrome with crossover when there is a linux version?
[05:09] <makk> Yeah, that's probably why it sucked
[05:09] <vahid> Jordan_U, ok, thats done.  successfuly.  should I reboot now?
[05:09] <Jordan_U> vahid: Yes
[05:09] <Appl6> rr6937-aafxfhe: You can do "sudo aptitude install <name>" where <name> is one of: google-chrome-stable, google-chrome-beta, google-chrome-unstable
[05:10] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Appl6: OK - and I probably want "google-chrome-stable", right?
[05:10] <vishaltelangre> makk, how could you say that? Firefox has the superior security than chrome and safari 8 as well support my regional languages as well... Chrome is very bore... And also I use FTP uploading to my site on FF, chrome does it?
[05:10] <Appl6> rr6937-aafxfhe: That's the one I use.  I'd recommend it, unless you find yourself needing something special and new.
[05:10] <vahid> Jordan_U, yaaay it works again :D  thanks :)
[05:11] <Jordan_U> vahid: You're welcome :)
[05:11] <Appl6> vishaltelangre: The chances that an argument over browser superiority ends with anything other than a flamewar is virtually nil.
[05:11] <makk> vishaltelangre, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ftp+chrome+extension
[05:11] <makk> But Appl6 is right
[05:12] <makk> Don't get me wrong, I love Fx. I'm actually using it right now because I'm doing some Web Development and I love the Web Developer Toolbar
[05:14] <paraintj> I'm building a custom menu item for the first time to start a application by starting a .sh file. What do I put in for the command? I believe it has to mv to correct directory then run ./example.sh
[05:14] <makk> paraintj, Start it with #!/binsh
[05:14] <paraintj> I'm guessing:  mv /usr/local/bin/Teamspeak3 | ./runscript.sh
[05:14] <vishaltelangre> makk, and what about regional language support, it shows me boxes, when I go to Marathi, regional language of India (.mr utf-8 supported) though I've installed all necesaary languge packs and blah blah... Does chrome synchronizes my bookmarks, history and other things with add-on like Firefox sync or with Ubuntu One?
[05:14] <paraintj> thanks makk
[05:15] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Appl6: OK - that terminal command didn't work - because I don't have the package.  How do I get the package for google-chrome-stable?
[05:15] <makk> paraintj, No, not mv /usr/blah, but cd /usr/blah
[05:15] <Jordan_U> paraintj: Odd, I couldn't find teamspeak 3 packaged anywhere. I guess /opt with a manual install then
[05:15] <vishaltelangre> rr6937-aafxfhe, check wheather it been available in lenny
[05:15] <Appl6> paraintj: I think you meant "cd to correct directory".  If you place your application in one of the directories listed in "echo $PATH", then you do not have to cd to the correct directory.
[05:15] <makk> paraintj, mv will move files/folders, cd means change directory
[05:16] <paraintj> Yea thanks for looking Jordan that's real cool of you yea I got it running manuel setting up a custom menu button for the .sh now
[05:16] <makk> Yeah, what he said
[05:16] <rr6937-aafxfhe> vishaltelangre: lenny? what is that?
[05:16] <paraintj> oh shoot your right cd
[05:16] <paraintj> : cd /usr/local/bin/Teamspeak3 | ./runscript.sh
[05:16] <Appl6> rr6937-aafxfhe: Lenny is the name of a Debian release.
[05:16] <paraintj> I'm just guessing about that pipe let me research that /binsh
[05:16] <makk> vishaltelangre, Oh dear. I'm not sure about the language support (I think so), but I'm definitely sure that it does the last one
[05:17] <kzona1600> hello
[05:17] <luis_> hola
[05:17] <vishaltelangre> makk, hey btw thanks! cheers...! ;)
[05:17] <kzona1600> pillz here
[05:17] <Appl6> paraintj: You would want to use ';' instead of '|'.  I don't know if you can do that in a custom menu item.  It would be best if you put whatever script you want to run in one of the paths listed in "echo $PATH".
[05:17] <vishaltelangre> makk, love ff too!
[05:18] <makk> vishaltelangre, http://blog.chromium.org/2009/08/bookmarks-here-bookmarks-there.html (but it's default now)
[05:18] <cer> 2
[05:18] <cer> off
[05:18] <cer> quit
[05:19] <xTheGoat121x> My friend's computer... the CD-ROM drive exists on the system but isn't mounting any CDs properly
[05:19] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Apple6: I'm not seeing Lenny either.  I've downloaded all my updates so far too - so I odn't understand.  Is there a URL I can go to in order to obtain Chrome?
[05:19] <luis_> como funciona esto
[05:19] <paraintj> Appl6: ok thanks Appl let me research that echo command and see if I can figure out how to use it
[05:19] <mastaofdisasta> hey guys, I'm new to ubuntu/debian systems... coming from redhat. if I want to boot the OS without X11 I just change the inittab to level 3...
[05:19] <Michael_> Hello
[05:19] <kzona1600> hai
[05:19] <Michael_> Has anyone had success installing ubuntu 10.04 desktop in vmware player?
[05:20] <luis_> hola
[05:20] <mastaofdisasta> would it be a valid and safe way to start ubuntu without X by running "sudo update-rc.d gdm disable 2"
[05:20] <Jordan_U> !boot | mastaofdisasta
[05:20] <vishaltelangre> rr6937-aafxfhe, lenny - http://packages.debian.org/stable/
[05:20] <Michael_> Every time I try it just hangs.
[05:21] <thune3> rr6937-aafxfhe: http://www.google.com/chrome
[05:21] <kzona1600> chrome ftw
[05:21] <mrapple> hi, how does one change a folder's group?
[05:21] <rr6937-aafxfhe> thune3: Yeah - I found it.  Thanks!
[05:21] <dsnyders> xTheGoat121x, Does the drive actually spin the CD?  Place a disk in the tray oriented a particular way.  Close the tray, wait, then open it and see if the CD spins.
[05:21] <Appl6> paraintj: "echo" outputs what follows it to stdout (which is displayed in the terminal).  echo $PATH means to display the contents of the PATH variable, which is where Ubuntu looks for applications.
[05:21] <rr6937-aafxfhe> vishaltelangre: Would there be any difference or anything better about the Debian release (Lenny vs. Chrome)?
[05:21] <mrapple> so for example, i want all users in foo_bar to have permissions to /foo/bar
[05:22] <xTheGoat121x> dsnyders, yes, it does.
[05:22] <rr6937-aafxfhe> vishaltelangre: What is "Debian" anyway?
[05:22] <Appl6> rr6937-aafxfhe: Lenny is an old release of Debian (the Linux distribution that Ubuntu is based off of).  Lenny has nothing to do with Chrome whatsoever.
[05:22] <paraintj> Appl6: ok thanks so for example - echo $/usr/local/bin/teamspeak3/ ; ./runscript.sh
[05:23] <vishaltelangre> rr6937-aafxfhe, nah.. Btw, debian not provide packages for chrome yet...
[05:23] <juan__> can anyone explain to me what the wireless keyring is for?
[05:23] <dsnyders> xTheGoat121x, Have you double checked the connections?
[05:23] <Appl6> rr6937-aafxfhe: Sorry, Lenny is not an old release.  It is most recent stable release.  But it still has nothing to do with Chrome.
[05:24] <thune3> rr6937-aafxfhe: google's chrome will setup repo (and a cron job?!?!??!) and provides updates regularly through your normal package management procedure.
[05:24] <vishaltelangre> rr6937-aafxfhe, yeah but if you want chrome, try crossover chromium, it's a beta debian package (note: but not from debian)
[05:25] <Appl6> paraintj: No.  Look at the output of "echo $PATH".  It should be a list of absolute paths separated by colons.  Place your runscript.sh in one of those directories, e.g. /usr/local/bin.
[05:25] <vishaltelangre> Appl6, :/ (it's recent brother, I've installed many packages from there)
[05:25] <Appl6> vishaltelangre: You're right, I corrected myself a bit ago.
[05:25] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, Uh, or you could just download it from the official Ubuntu repositories and skip the hassle
[05:26] <rr6937-aafxfhe> vishaltelangre: OK - what is the difference between Debian and Ubuntu?  Are they two separate OS's?
[05:26] <vishaltelangre> rr6937-aafxfhe, ubuntu is based on debian
[05:26] <makk> rr6937-aafxfhe, Sort of. Think of Ubuntu as a flavor of Debian, only made easier for users
[05:26] <dsnyders> rr6937-aafxfhe, Same OS, different set of add-ons.
[05:26] <rr6937-aafxfhe> makk: I'm just going to get it straight off the Google Chrome website.  Will this suffice according to what everyone is talking about?
[05:26] <vishaltelangre> !debian | rr6937-aafxfhe
[05:26] <savid> Hi, I'm trying to load the pulseaudio module-bluetooth-discover,  but I get the error "Module initalization failed".  Nothing in /var/log/messages.  How can I debug this further?  Are there any other logs I can look at?
[05:26] <makk> vishaltelangre, http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/9932/wellthen.png
[05:26] <juan__> can anyone explain to me what the wireless keyring is for?
[05:27] <makk> juan__ storing your wireless passwords
[05:27] <philo> hi
[05:27] <philo> looking for the permanent way to set env variable
[05:27] <philo> on 10.4
[05:27] <juan__> makk, and what is the point of a wireless password?
[05:27] <paraintj> Appl6: oh mybad you meant that command literally I thought Path meant the path I needed to type in to work with. Your right I got the paths separated by colons. And I did put the directory that holds the application and the .sh script in one of those paths /usr/local/bin
[05:27] <makk> juan__ When you connect to wireless networks that are password protected
[05:27] <Michael_> can't get live ubuntu or install to work in vmware player.  Any ideas?
[05:28] <kevin> Hi. My wireless card is showing a poor signal and occasionally dropping so I installed linux-backports-modules-wireless-lucid-generic (I'm not sure if it helped or not.) -- this has now caused a problem with nvidia drivers. I get "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module" -- anyone have any ideas?
[05:28] <makk> juan__ if your wireless is open or you don't use wireless, you should need one
[05:28] <paraintj> App6:  you probably know this but I got /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[05:28] <ubuntubama> bbaak
[05:28] <Appl6> paraintj: OK, so now your custom menu item can simply use the command "runscript.sh".
[05:28] <juan__> makk. what if it is to use my own network?
[05:28] <vishaltelangre> makk, hey good... that's not looking crossover chromium... What's the package you're using?
[05:29] <makk> juan__, Is it password protected? If yes, do you want to type in your password everytime? If no, then use the wireless keyring.
[05:29] <makk> vishaltelangre, The Chromium in the repositories. (Actually, the latest dev version, but the one in the repositories can do it, too, I believe.)
[05:30] <juan__> makk, oh so what ur saying is that ubuntu 10.4 doesn't store the router password anymore?
[05:30] <philo> anyone ?
[05:30] <makk> vishaltelangre, I'm not sure what this crossover chromium mess you're talking about is, but it seems to have given you a bad impression of Chrome/ium
[05:30] <makk> juan__, No, it does. That's what the wireless keyring is
[05:30] <juan__> makk. got it
[05:30] <Appl6> philo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
[05:30] <skreet> makk: Crossover Chromium was a wine-and-Chrome package available before Linux builds were possible.
[05:31] <juan__> makk. since i got u here. do u have 10.4 installed?
[05:31] <makk> juan__, If I recall correctly, the wireless keyring is just a subset of the gnome-keyring. The gnome-keyring requires one password, and manages all of your other passwords
[05:31] <makk> juan__, Yup
[05:31] <nsh> i just edited /etc/hosts, and restarted nscd, but it still won't accept it
[05:31] <makk> skreet: Ah. So they're obsolete?
[05:31] <philo> Appl6:  i tried that but it isnt permanent
[05:31] <juan__> makk. how long does it take u to boot up?
[05:31] <nsh> how else can you flush the name cache?
[05:31] <skreet> makk: God, I hope so.
[05:31] <paraintj> Appl6: Appl6 does the .sh file itself have to be in the path /usr/local/bin or will it work in /usr/local/bin/teamspeak3/ ?
[05:31] <skreet> It was pretty not good.
[05:32] <paraintj> Appl6: I get a error at this point with it in ~/teamspeak3/
[05:32] <skreet> Pretty much useful as a 'What is coming for us soon?' preview.  Could not use for daily browsing.
[05:32] <makariolewis> juan__, Longer than I believe it should, to be honest. But it's fast on my other lappy
[05:32] <Appl6> philo: Then I guess you didn't try "that", since it clearly describes how to permanently set an environment variable.
[05:32] <juan__> makariolewis. i have read it suppose to be 10sec but mines like 1 minute long. would u know why?
[05:32] <philo> Appl6:  ??
[05:32] <Appl6> paraintj: If you're trying to run the script (and it sounds like you are), then you need to move the script to /usr/local/bin.
[05:32] <makariolewis> vishaltelangre, Listen to skreet: Chromium's probably much better than what you dealt with
[05:32] <nsh> hmm
[05:33] <vishaltelangre> makk, oh... Could you give me exact package-name so as Install it with apt:package_name from firefox?
[05:33] <makariolewis> juan__, Mine takes about a minute as well. What's your hardware?
[05:33] <philo> Appl6:  it is the first page google return ... i tried all the method before coming here
[05:33] <makariolewis> juan__, And is it a new install, or an upgrade?
[05:33] <Appl6> philo: Read the page I gave you the link to.  It tells you how to do it.
[05:33] <bonez2046> how can I resolve this > GPG error: http://download.virtualbox.org lucid Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG 54422A4B98AB5139
[05:33] <juan__> makariolewis. upgrade. but i did an install also and it didn't make a difference.
[05:33] <vishaltelangre> makariolewis, skreet, makk, yeah sure guys... "ll try it... Btw thanks you all!
[05:34] <HektoR> hello guys... is it possible to run 32bit applcation on 64bit ubuntu ?
[05:34] <juan__> makariolewis. maybe it's because it's an hp pavilion dv4
[05:34] <Appl6> philo: If you tried a particular method, and it didn't work, then tell us which method you tried.
[05:34] <philo> Appl6:  are you reading what i am saying ?
[05:34] <skreet> bonez2046: You probably can't, I bet it's an issue with the repo you're trying to download from.  Can you give me the URL?
[05:34] <juan__> makariolewis. that i've got it on.
[05:34] <paraintj> Appl6: ok thanks Appl I'll give it a shot
[05:34] <rcsheets> i'm reading in a grub-related launchpad bug that i need to set the bios_grub flag on a partition using parted. but parted says "invalid token: bios_grub" ... help?
[05:34] <makariolewis> vishaltelangre, Don't feel obliged to, but just wanted your [somewhat blind] Chrome hate to dissolve.
[05:35] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: What is the exact command you are running?
[05:35] <makariolewis> juan__, Hm. Let's see. Does it take a minute to boot to the login screen, or from the login screen to the desktop?
[05:35] <bonez2046> skreet it's for the latest version of virtualbox. after I added the repository. I get this error..
[05:35] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: "parted /dev/sda", then within parted, "toggle 1 bios_grub"
[05:36] <juan__> makariolewis. i've got it so i don't have to put the password in.
[05:36] <philo> the pam thing
[05:36] <makariolewis> juan__ Do you have a floppy drive?
[05:36] <philo> my home dont have the require file
[05:36] <HektoR> can anyone help ?
[05:36] <juan__> makariolewis. no
[05:36] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: Try "sudo parted /dev/sda set 1 bios_grub on"
[05:36] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: ok, trying ...
[05:36] <skreet> HektoR: Yes.
[05:36] <philo> the pam_environment to be presice
[05:37] <HektoR> skreet: how can i ?
[05:37] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: though i will omit the sudo, since i am running as root.
[05:37] <skreet> HektoR: I don't believe you need any special packages.
[05:37] <skreet> But I could be wrong.
[05:37] <lake> I'm experiencing a slightly annoying problem. I have a panel with a launcher for terminal. When the launcher is clicked, terminal opens. However, terminal does not have focus, meaning when I type, text does not show up in terminal. I'm using xubuntu, btw. This happens with the firefox launcher as well.
[05:37] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: Also, do you understand that any data on /dev/sda1 will be lost?
[05:37] <Appl6> philo: Pastebin your pam_environment file.
[05:37] <philo> Appl6:  any idea ?
[05:37] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: yes. it is a 1MB partition (which is apparently way too big!) i created specifically to house grub's embedded bits.
[05:38] <makariolewis> juan__ What happens when you type 'mount /media/floppy 0' into a terminal?
[05:39] <danskubr> hi, im trying to make a bash to make a .XML file from files in a dir, can anyone help with the error here: http://pastebin.com/MaiixXkY ? Thanks
[05:39] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: your suggested command gave me the same error. parted seems only to recognize the following flags: boot/hidden/raid/lvm/lba/palo/prep
[05:39] <makariolewis> juan__, I'm asking because there's a bug where Lucid checks for that floppy drive and it slows down boottime
[05:39] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: What version of parted are you using?
[05:39] <xTheGoat121x> What has 10.04 replaced gnome-volume-manager with?
[05:39] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: 2.2
[05:40] <skreet> xTheGoat121x: gvfs, I think..?
[05:40] <skreet> But that was before 10.04...
[05:40] <juan__> makariolewis, u know what i think i've got that option for boot process on. would it make a difference if i took it off?
[05:40] <vishaltelangre> makariolewis, skreet, makk, reinstalled that crossover chromium to show how it is, chack this screenshot: http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/3580/screenshotsfz.png
[05:41] <makariolewis> juan__, That's the way to resolve the problem, actually. Try that
[05:41] <skreet> vishaltelangre:  yay built-in wine without fonts.
[05:41] <juan__> makariolewis. ok i will thanks. later
[05:41] <makariolewis> vishaltelangre, So thaaaaaaaat's why you think it sucks
[05:42] <skreet> crossover chromium *does* suck.
[05:42] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: Do you have a GUID partition table?
[05:42] <skreet> just install linux chrome.
[05:42] <makariolewis> vishaltelangre, Say no to crossover chromium!
[05:42] <skreet> http://www.google.com/chrome/
[05:42] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: I think so, but I'm not entirely sure. How can I tell?
[05:42] <vishaltelangre> makariolewis, and also takes my memory and CPU to process itself... Hence I was hate that...
[05:43] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: This bios_grub stuff I'm doing is based on the premise that I am using GPT.
[05:43] <bnagy> so, for some reason my lvm2 package doesn't contain a cluster locking library, although googling suggests it should - can anyone help?
[05:43] <vishaltelangre> makariolewis, tell me the original package for latest chrome package in ubuntu's repository so as I install it with aptitude...
[05:43] <zamarax> hello, just recently I tried switching my pylmouth themes which worked fine, since then though the GDM login screen is this very basic and ugly design, even when switching back to the original, anyone know how to get it back to how it was when I first installed unbuntu?
[05:44] <makariolewis> vishaltelangre, chromium-browser
[05:44] <skreet> alternatively, you can get the official google chrome from chrome.google.com.
[05:44] <vishaltelangre> skreet, But the installation file of that is with .deb extension... Btw, installing newer chrome, Thanks you too!
[05:44] <skreet> vishaltelangre: .deb files are what Ubuntu uses.
[05:45] <skreet> should launch GDebi Installer
[05:45] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: sudo gdisk /dev/sda
[05:45] <Appl6> skreet: I think he meant that he wanted it from the repos so updates would be handled automatically.
[05:45] <skreet> Appl6: Ah.
[05:45] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: i do not seem to have gdisk.
[05:45] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: You'll probably need to apt-get install gdisk first
[05:46] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: righto :)
[05:46] <philo> does chrome use gtk or qt ?
[05:46] <Jordan_U> philo: gtk
[05:46] <vishaltelangre> skreet, yeah I know, but i think[...], agree with Appl6!
[05:46] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: is there any trickery needed to apt-get something from the installer environment, aside from chrooting to /target first?
[05:47] <thune3> chrome from google.com/chrome installs a repository for updates automatically
[05:47] <skreet> thune3: does it?
[05:47] <skreet> sweet.
[05:47] <thune3> yes it does
[05:47] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: You don't even need to chroot to /target, modifications to the files (like when installing packages) are kept in RAM so / looks like a normal writable filesystem, untill you shut down :)
[05:48] <thune3> it alsow installs a cron job ?!?!?! to make sure the repo is correct, even if you upgrade ubuntu!
[05:48] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: oh, didn't know that. i am chrooted to /target, fwiw, and apt-get seemed slightly unhappy about openpty() not working, but gdisk is now installed.
[05:48] <vishaltelangre> makariolewis, skreet, makk, Appl6 Thanks friends... 'll install and try chromium-browser as well | and also uninstalled the crossover chromium and deleted it's debian package file too! Cheers!
[05:48] <makariolewis> vishaltelangre, No problem.
[05:49] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: the first thing gdisk printed was a partition table scan. "MBR: MBR only" followed by BSD, APM, and GPT all "not present"
[05:49] <philo> Jordan_U:  wondering why they didnt use Qt... i thought google was invested in Qt
[05:50] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: Then "Found invalid GPT and valid MBR; converting MBR to GPT format." etc etc, potentially destructive, etc.
[05:50] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: Well, you don't have GPT :)
[05:50] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: What is the problem you are having with grub?
[05:51] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: i had thought that i was affected by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/580851
[05:51] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: after an apparently successful install using the alternate CD, and setting up software raid1, I am getting a BusyBox prompt upon first reboot.
[05:52] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: http://i.imgur.com/khyhV.jpg
[05:52] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: If you're getting to busybox then grub has done it's job (load the kernel) and is long gone
[05:53] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: well, sorry to bring you along on part of my wild goose chase then :|
[05:53] <glick> howdy
[05:54] <skreet> In compizconfig I can't seem to change the Alt<Mouse3> binding for Window Menu.  No m atter what I do it revers.
[05:54] <skreet> reverts*
[05:54] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: the only solid facts i know are that this is 100% reproducible for me with the pair of 500GB disks i am using, and that it did not happen when i followed the same steps using a pair of 40GB SSDs.
[05:54] <phawx> When i test my webcam in Skype, it work fine, but I'm unable to make a video call.  Anyone else have the same problem?
[05:55] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: that led me to suspect the "big disks get GPT" problem referenced in the launchpad bug i was looking at.
[05:55] <Poizon> hello guys, i have a problem... the users on my server can't do passwd... i've look for permissions
[05:55] <Poizon> but i see them right
[05:55] <rcsheets> Poizon: do they get an error message?
[05:55] <Poizon> yes
[05:55] <rcsheets> Poizon: ... what does it say?
[05:56] <Poizon> rchsheets let me paste it on internet
[05:56] <rcsheets> yes, please not in the channel.
[05:56] <Poizon> http://pastebin.com/9ALGMjd3
[05:56] <rcsheets> at least if it's longer than a line
[05:57] <rcsheets> Poizon: can you reproduce this with users whose usernames are not entirely made up of numbers?
[05:57] <Poizon> yes
[05:57] <Adman65> Hey, I've installed monit. After doing /etc/init.d/monit start, I can't find any monit processes running via `ps aux.` what gives?
[05:57] <rcsheets> Poizon: have you customized your PAM configuration in some way?
[05:58] <Poizon> http://pastebin.com/Kz4DceHu
[05:58] <Poizon> rcsheets no
[05:58] <Poizon> i can do it as root
[05:58] <Poizon> i mean change their passwords
[05:58] <rcsheets> what are the permissions on /usr/bin/passwd ?
[05:59] <Poizon> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 37140 Jun  3 08:55 /usr/bin/passwd
[05:59] <rcsheets> that's the problem
[05:59] <aplund> needs suid
[05:59] <Poizon> rcsheets ? why?
[06:00] <Piccolo48> Ok, I want to delete my ubuntu 32 so I can replace it with ubuntu 64.  Is deleting ubuntu 32 easy?
[06:00] <rcsheets> Poizon: sudo chmod 4755 /usr/bin/passwd
[06:00] <rcsheets> Poizon: passwd must run as root to do its job
[06:00] <Piccolo48> I keep reading sites that say I should delete my ubuntu without my windows disc, which I do not have
[06:00] <glick> Piccolo48, theres little point to use ubuntu 64 unless you need a crap load of ram
[06:00] <Piccolo48> *shouldnt
[06:00] <makariolewis> All right, I'm out guys.
[06:01] <Piccolo48> Well, my ubuntu is having connection issues so I am seeing that if ubuntu 64 in any way helps
[06:01] <glick> Piccolo48, it wont
[06:01] <glick> what kind of connection issues?
[06:01] <Poizon> rcsheets you saved my life dude
[06:01] <Poizon> thanks a lot
[06:01] <Poizon> =)
[06:01] <rcsheets> Poizon: well i guess you have to be my servant now. :)
[06:01] <Piccolo48> Alright, so your just saying dont bother it wont help in any way with internet wifi issues
[06:01] <rcsheets> Poizon: also you're welcome
[06:02] <Piccolo48> Oh, I thought it was because of a broadcom modem, downloading the appropriate packages didnt help with it though
[06:02] <justin__> if i upgrade to 10.04 from 9.1 will it wipe my drive?
[06:02] <bnagy> so can anyone help me track down this file?
[06:02] <glick> Piccolo48, most likely not, its just a setting or config issue most likely, or your using a piece of hardware not supported under linux
[06:02] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: did you happen to look at my screenshot?
[06:02] <bnagy> I am looking for liblvm2clusterlock.so which is supposed to be part of lvm2
[06:02] <Piccolo48> Ok, I think I read NDISwrapper could help
[06:02] <drizzt_> justin__, no
[06:02] <justin__> thanks
[06:03] <glick> Piccolo48, did you look online to see if the chipset is supported?
[06:03] <Piccolo48> NDISwrapper basically uses my windows driver to connect for me, correct?
[06:04] <Piccolo48> I think I asked for help on this issue, and they gave me a bcm43xx page to solve it. But I did everything there and it didnt help
[06:04] <dave33> !flash
[06:04] <progesterone> Question: Window tab highlighte/blink when pidgin get new messsage. The blink is not that obvious and doesn't attact my attention. How can I customise Ubuntu window blinking?
[06:04] <phawx> Ive got a video0 installed,  but i cant seem to do any video calls with friends.  Anyone able to assist or have an idea
[06:04] <glick> Piccolo48, what is it a wireless card?
[06:04] <Piccolo48> yes
[06:05] <drizzt_> progesterone, it's not ubuntu, it's your window manager
[06:05] <Piccolo48> it is wireless
[06:05] <glick> did you just buy it?
[06:05] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: Yes, but I don't have any ideas to help :(
[06:05] <glick> i just bought one too
[06:05] <glick> and it works perfectly just plugged it in and it worked
[06:05] <Piccolo48> The wireless already works well in windows.  Hence why I am inquiring about if an NDISwrapper could help
[06:05] <darkangel> is anyone having problems with downloading the open office update on lucid lynx???? how can i download the updates through my terminal??? t.y. for the help
[06:05] <glick> possibly Piccolo48 but i hate using ndiswrapper
[06:05] <aplund> Piccolo48: it may, but the better option is to use a native driver
[06:05] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: ok, thanks anyway. i'll keep trying. perhaps these specific disks are a problem. i'll try other ones.
[06:06] <glick> id rather get hardware thats supported natively
[06:06] <drizzt_> glick, you don/t look for hardware for your OS
[06:06] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: do you know if a /boot is generally needed when / is on softraid?
[06:06] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: Not with grub2
[06:06] <glick> drizzt_, ?
[06:07] <glick> what do you mean drizzt_ ?
[06:07] <darkangel> how do i d/l system updates through terminal??
[06:07] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: so i should theoretically be able to have two partitions per physical disk, each used for raid, and do raid1 volumes using each, and have one be / and the other be swap, and boot successfully?
[06:07] <drizzt_> you choose OS which support the hardware, not vice versa
[06:07] <aplund> darkangel: apt-get update
[06:07] <Piccolo48> I dont think I am the only one who had this issue.  I've read sites that went as far as to claim it was a bug, but I dont know if there are any patches or anything I should download.  I have absolutely no option that isnt just taking shots in the dark, but the NDISwrapper which may be complicated but seems more guaranteed to work
[06:07] <glick> drizzt_, when i  buy new hardware i research that it is supported in linux
[06:08] <phawx> gah!
[06:08] <phawx> heh
[06:08] <Jordan_U> rcsheets: Yes
[06:08] <darkangel> thank you, im having a problem d/l the open office files in the system udpate on lucid lynx
[06:08] <achilles> where does the deb files go when i install a package using sudo apt-get install
[06:08] <achilles> ..?
[06:08] <rcsheets> Jordan_U: ok, thanks. that at least reduces the number of steps i have to perform in this install i keep repeating :)
[06:08] <drizzt_> achilles, outdated mirror?
[06:08] <Piccolo48> I think I had issues attempting to use the ndiswrapper at sourcefourge.  Do you have any reccomendations for a good ndiswrapper to download?
[06:09] <achilles> drizzt_, i didn't get it..?
[06:09] <glick> unfortunatly im not too familier with NDISwrapper because i make sure i get hardware that works natively
[06:09] <aplund> achilles: /var/cache/apt/archives
[06:09] <drizzt_> achilles, you may use 3rd party mirroooooor which is not updated
[06:09] <Adman65> is there some program I can use to read my mail locally ?
[06:09] <Shamael> ola ikonia bruder
[06:10] <drizzt_> achilles, which error do you get?
[06:10] <h0rnman> Piccolo48, if you are using a broadcom adapter, then I wish you the best of luck and advise you try to get it working with NDISWrapper (apt-get install ndiswrapper and ndisgtk)
[06:11] <achilles> aplund, thanks
[06:11] <xTheGoat121x> I get this error when trying to have my computer automount a CD:

[06:12] <Piccolo48> uh, I cant install it off of terminal online if I cant connnect it online...could you give my a link Mr. Horn?
[06:12] <litropy> does anyone have an eeepc?
[06:12] <glick> i do litropy
[06:12] <Piccolo48> uh, I cant install it off of terminal online if I cant connnect it online...could you give my a link Mr. HornMAN?
[06:13] <nanotube> Piccolo48: what's your chipset?
[06:13] <g0st> help
[06:13] <nanotube> Piccolo48: version?
[06:14] <Piccolo48> 4312?
[06:14] <litropy> glick, what model? I have a question about the charger for a 1005ha. not sure if you have the same charger. But the blue light goes out every day or so. Then, after I unplug it, wait ~10 mins, then plug it back in, the blue light, and the charger, is back for another day or so. Any ideas? this has happened with 2 chargers. #eeepc is almost silent at this time of night.
[06:14] <slyrus_> I'm trying to get bluetooth up and running and I see some references to hidd, on the one hand, and the fact that this seems to be deprecated, on the other. any suggestions on where to go?
[06:15] <glick> litropy, yeah i think when the eeepc overheats it shuts off
[06:15] <nanotube> Piccolo48: and ubuntu version? and have you tried installing the sta driver?
[06:15] <glick> oh you mean the blue light on the charger?
[06:15] <jetienne> q. i got nepomukservices using my cpu/disk all the time, how to get rid of it ?
[06:15] <nUboon2Age> Piccolo48: According to Synaptic I'm using ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 and ndiswrapper-common v1.54-2ubuntu1, and I just got it from the standard repositories afaik
[06:15] <wildbat> jetienne, kill it
[06:16] <progesterone> drizzt_ Hi are you still there?
[06:16] <jetienne> wildbat: i want to uninstall it
[06:16] <drizzt_> ?
[06:17] <litropy> glick, this happens when it's not connected to the eeepc.
[06:17] <philo> i am getting /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64 Failed to load module: /usr/lib/gio/modules/libgvfsdbus.so
[06:17] <philo> but i can find the concern lib in the packetmanager
[06:17] <wildbat> jetienne, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1052816
[06:17] <nUboon2Age> Piccolo48: I also second the recommendation to use ndisgtk -- the gui wrapper.  Works well and takes care of the details effectively
[06:17] <jetienne> wildbat: looking
[06:17] <drizzt_> philo, 64 driver on 32-bit system>?
[06:17] <glick> litropy, im not sure never seen that
[06:17] <rcsheets> how worried should i be if Disk Utility shows my disk's SMART Status as (with a green dot) "Disk has a few bad sectors" ?
[06:18] <philo> drizzt_:  more the oposite ...  64 bits system but trying to lauch a 32 bit program
[06:18] <rcsheets> also is SMART over USB even reliable?
[06:18] <jetienne> wildbat: "go into system settings then click on the advanced tab" where is that ?
[06:18] <phawx> When i try to open camorama i get an error that says could not connect to video device (/dev/video0).  from what i can tell,  /dev/video0 does exist.  anyone got any suggestions
[06:18] <philo> drizzt_:  isnt there a 32 bit version of the said lib ?
[06:18] <litropy> glick, thx for your help. Have a good night.
[06:19] <Gryllida> hello?
[06:19] <rcsheets> hello.
[06:19] <nanotube> Gryllida: o/
[06:19] <Gryllida> how do I turn font smoothing off in Firefox?
[06:19] <drizzt_> philo, all packages have 312-birt version
[06:20] <drizzt_> Gryllida, short ansssswer: you dddon't
[06:20] <Gryllida> drizzt_: but it's uncomfortable to read, I turned it off elsewhere
[06:20] <glick> sorry couldnt help more litropy
[06:20] <philo> drizzt_: i cant find the said lib using the packetmanager
[06:20] <nUboon2Age> Piccolo48: can you connect by ethernet?  Its very tough to take all the steps if you're unable to get on-line, because to get drivers, synaptic, etc.  Possible, but not easy.
[06:20] <nanotube> Gryllida: just firefox, or everything? there's system -> preferences -> appearance -> fonts...
[06:20] <progesterone> drizzt_ How can I customise my window manager to get window blinking more obvious? I use kde.
[06:21] <litropy> glick, no worries. that you even responded means something :)
[06:21] <Gryllida> nanotube: I turned it off in the place you're saying about but Firefox ignored my wish to turn it off despite several reboots
[06:21] <litropy> seeya peeps.
[06:21] <drizzt_> progesterone, just dig in settings, in KDE it just should be somewhere
[06:21] <progesterone> drizzt_ sorry. I use gnome.
[06:21] <phawx> anyone?
[06:21] <drizzt_> firefox use sit's own antialiasing for pages and whole UI
[06:22] <Gryllida> phawx: yes?
[06:22] <phawx> When i try to open camorama i get an error that says could not connect to video device (/dev/video0).  from what i can tell,  /dev/video0 does exist.  anyone got any suggestions
[06:22] <drizzt_> progesterone, then try gconf-editor, it may be hidden there
[06:22] <Gryllida> drizzt_: agreed but their live chat support said it is "According to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531996 , it's an issue with Cairo and/or gnome " thus they can't tell me how to fix
[06:23] <Piccolo48> Alright, thanks hornman and nuboon and nano, I installed the stuff and now I will experiment
[06:23] <progesterone> drizzt_ Thanks
[06:23] <h0rnman> good luck, Piccolo48  :)
[06:24] <nanotube> Gryllida: hrm... no idea sorry. maybe you can try stock firefox off mozilla.com and see if that behaves any different?
[06:24]  * h0rnman just loves wireless issues
[06:24] <phawx> Gryllida,  you got any advice?
[06:27] <Gryllida> phawx: nanotube: this is clear install, I even tried firefox from mozilla website aalong with the one that came with the OS
[06:28] <phawx> Gryllida,  what? :P
[06:28] <Gryllida> ?
[06:28] <phawx> you said myname and nanotube 's name in the same line
[06:29] <Gryllida> phawx: ah you were asking about your issue
[06:29] <Gryllida> phawx: install camorama in applications > software centre
[06:29] <nanotube> Gryllida: well... in that case... you may be kinda sol...
[06:29] <phawx> yeah, i did install camorama
[06:30] <Gryllida> phawx: latest?
[06:30] <phawx> yeah

[06:32] <phawx> nope, dont see video in the list
[06:32] <nanotube> phawx: well... add yourself to the video group
[06:32] <nanotube> phawx: or... chmod the video0 device to o+rw
[06:33] <Gryllida> nanotube: how do I fix smoothing issue?
[06:33] <vishaltelangre> nanotube, check System > Administration > users and groups > manage groups > video > check a tick for you
[06:33] <nanotube> Gryllida: no idea, sorry...
[06:33] <Gryllida> phawx ^
[06:33] <Gryllida> nanotube: hmm
[06:34] <nanotube> vishaltelangre: that's not for me. :P
[06:34] <phawx> it says im already a group
[06:34] <Gryllida> nanotube: very uncomfortable, actually.
[06:34] <Gryllida> nanotube: do you have font smoothing in your firefox now?
[06:34] <phawx> oh wait
[06:34] <nanotube> Gryllida: probably... i have my fonts setting set to "subpixel smoothing"...
[06:35] <vishaltelangre> nanotube, Oh sorry... I'm going for sleep now! O_o
[06:35] <nanotube> vishaltelangre: :)

[06:35] <phawx> ok, im added to the group
[06:35] <nanotube> phawx: well... try it again i guess.
[06:35] <nUboon2Age> h0rnman: imo Jockey needs to be fixed so it 'just works'.  That way we wouldn't have so many wireless issues.  do you agree?
[06:35] <phawx> smae thing
[06:36] <nanotube> phawx: if you open a terminal and run 'groups' does video show up?
[06:36] <phawx> no.
[06:36] <nanotube> phawx: well then... i guess you need to logout and relogin for the setting to take effect, or something.
[06:37] <phawx> ok.  brb
[06:37] <nanotube> phawx: that is,... assuming you correctly added yourself to the video group

[06:37] <slyrus_> Ok, get the mouse up and running... now what about this darn keyboard?
[06:37] <Gryllida> nanotube: please try to set hinting to yes and smoothing to none and to observe whether firefox ignores your preference
[06:38] <phawx> nanotube, i just logged out and logged back in,  still doesnt owrk :(
[06:38] <nanotube> phawx: and does 'groups' show video as one of your groups?
[06:38] <Gryllida> phawx: reboot

[06:40] <nanotube> phawx: well... then try rebooting as gryllida says... though i'm not sure if that'll do anything. :) actually... before you reboot, try 'sudo chmod o+rw /dev/video0'. then see if that makes it work.
[06:40] <phawx> brb
[06:41] <phawx> oh, did i mention that it works in the skype options to test the video?
[06:41] <Gryllida> nanotube: can you try to set it to no smoothing and restart Firefox, will it change anything? as for me, it just ignores my preference
[06:41] <phawx> brb
[06:41] <featherofmaat> possibly a stupid question: does anyone know of any problems running UNR Lucid on a fullsize laptop other than potential issues with Maximus?
[06:41] <rajeev_> how can you open two file browsers in the same window, there is a shortcut key I forgot?
[06:42] <vishaltelangre> rajeev_, in nautilus ctrl+t
[06:42] <zamarax> or VIEW - EXTRA PANE
[06:42] <vishaltelangre> rajeev_, it'll open a new tab as like you open new tabs in your firefox!
[06:42] <nanotube> Gryllida: tried... firefox ignores the settings.
[06:42] <rajeev_> not a tab, but a window both are visible
[06:43] <Gryllida> nanotube: so? what do I do? It is difficult for me to read smoothed fonts.
[06:43] <nanotube> Gryllida: hrm... try following some/any of the suggestions referenced in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1200992
[06:43] <rajeev_> vishaltelangre_, you can see file on both at the same time
[06:44] <nanotube> Gryllida: though most of the people there seem to be trying to get smoothing /working/ rather than /off/... the idea of creating a .fonts.conf with the requisite settings could be your ticket
[06:44] <phawx> nothin :(
[06:44] <Coded1> how do i find out each file contained in a particular package?  i installed libtorrent-dev and am looking for the headder file but cant find it in /usr/src/include if i can query the pkg then i might be able to track it down
[06:44] <nanotube> phawx: did you try the chmod?
[06:44] <phawx> yeah, did that before reboot
[06:44] <nanotube> Coded1: dpkg -L packagename
[06:45] <chandru_in> It is a Huawei EC1260 USB modem if that helps and I'm running Ubuntu 10.04
[06:45] <phawx> the weird thing is,  if i go into the skype options > video settings > test video, it works
[06:45] <nanotube> phawx: well... i am stumped, then. try googling :)
[06:45] <phawx> ive been looking
[06:45] <skar_> my other computer with freshly installed 10.04 did not have ssh client, when it tried to install openssh-client it wants to remove all kinds of things like ethtool, firefox-3.5-gnome-support hal linux-header libbind9 mesa-utils and the list goes on...
[06:45] <rajeev_> how can you open two file browsers in the same window, there is a shortcut key I forgot? you can see file on both at the same time, unlike ctrl+t
[06:45] <vishaltelangre> rajeev_, extra pane (F3)
[06:46] <Coded1> nanotube thanks worked like a charm
[06:46] <rajeev_> thanks Vishal
[06:46] <red2kic> Anybody know a nice command that'll do a batch rmdir on empty directories found in a specified path?
[06:46] <nanotube> Coded1: np :)
[06:46] <vishaltelangre> rajeev_ :) Indian?
[06:48] <chandru_in> Does 10.04 have any known issues with mobile broadbands?
[06:48] <rajeev_> yup
[06:49] <nanotube> red2kic: something like "find ./yourtargetdir -type d -exec rmdir {}" probably. (man find for details... and be sure to try this on a temporary test directory first)
[06:49] <red2kic> nanotube: Mkay. Will give it a whirl on the testDirectory/
[06:50] <nanotube> red2kic: gl :)
[06:50] <Sam_Fisher> Howdy Ya'll!
[06:50] <nanotube> Sam_Fisher: howdy
[06:50] <xarvh> question: I have a BCM4311 wireless, it has just installed the drivers and it can find the most powerful available networks, but can't connect. Is it a problem of antenna power? Under windows XP it works
[06:50] <Sam_Fisher> Any Aussies here? Need Australian advice on Ubuntu
[06:51] <red2kic> nanotube: What's the command for current directory? (ie find . ) ?
[06:51] <Gryllida> nanotube: ok but that file only contains hinting settings while I want to turn SMOOTHING off
[06:51] <Sam_Fisher> xarvh, could be they are protected
[06:51] <nanotube> find . would work, to find stuff within current dir.
[06:51] <john__> pwd
[06:51] <nanotube> red2kic: ---%2
[06:51] <xarvh> Sam_Fisher: no, it's my own wifi network! ^^
[06:51] <red2kic> john__: That only print the working directory. :3
[06:52] <Sam_Fisher> xarvh, ahh you blocked yourself! LOL
[06:52] <theadmin> ...Ubottu is not replying to me, what on earth is going on? Could someone give me the "resetpanels" factoid please?
[06:53] <theadmin> I'm trying to msg her and she's silent
[06:53] <Sam_Fisher> Any Australians here?
[06:53] <red2kic> !resetpanels | theadmin
[06:53] <theadmin> red2kic: Thanks
[06:53] <coolmadmax> Sam_Fisher join computerbank
[06:53] <red2kic> theadmin: Np.
[06:53] <Sam_Fisher> coolmadmax, is it on freenode?
[06:53] <red2kic> nanotube: "find . -type d -exec rmdir {}" does not work? o.o
[06:54] <coolmadmax> yes
[06:54] <keiichi_dono> Quick question. Canonical made a development tool, what is it caled?
[06:54] <keiichi_dono> It uses Python and GTK.
[06:54] <Sam_Fisher> xarvh, I am having wicked network troubles today also. Now the wired connection is dead.
[06:54] <theadmin> red2kic: Obviously it does not :P
[06:54] <theadmin> red2kic: You have to hard-quote teh {} thingy
[06:54] <red2kic> theadmin: Why not? I'm not familiar with find. :(
[06:55] <theadmin> nanotube: find . -type d -exec rmdir '{}' \;
[06:55] <Gryllida> nanotube: ok but that file only contains hinting settings while I want to turn SMOOTHING off ------- are you sure that this is the full solution?
[06:55] <red2kic> theadmin: What is the \; for?
[06:56] <theadmin> red2kic: the ending bang (ends the -exec parameter)
[06:56] <phawx> i wonder something
[06:57] <Sam_Fisher> phawx just ask don't wonder
[06:57] <red2kic> theadmin: Awesome. It worked. So I want to add that to aliases. Will \; be need too?
[06:57] <keiichi_dono> Anyone have an answer to my question?
[06:57] <theadmin> red2kic: Very well then, something like this will work: alias rmempty='find . -type d -exec rmdir \'{}\' \;'
[06:57] <Sam_Fisher> xarvh, here still?
[06:58] <nanotube> theadmin: ah thanks. :) been a while since i did anything with find's args backsubstitution :)
[06:58] <theadmin> ...meh this doesnt
[06:58] <vishaltelangre> keiichi_dono, you know about it, then why not you search and tell us too?
[06:58] <nanotube> Gryllida: well, apparently not. i'm just throwing out some ideas for you. i personally have no clue "what the solution is"...
[06:58] <theadmin> red2kic: alias rmempty="find . -type d -exec rmdir '{}' \;'"
[06:58] <red2kic> theadmin: It's funny how I tried to find this on Intertubes and I get bunch of Windows GUI software doing the same thing what I know linux are capable of in a single command. :)
[06:58] <keiichi_dono> I know about it but I don't know the name. Can't find anything without the name. vishaltelangre
[06:59] <theadmin> red2kic: You can put ANYTHING in a single command, thanks to && and ;
[06:59] <inspiron> how do i check what gcc glib libc etc versions are needed by a module which I want to compile against some kernel headers?
[06:59] <nanotube> keiichi_dono: development of what?
[06:59] <red2kic> theadmin: Running a test on alias.
[06:59] <xarvh> Sam_Fisher: yes =(
[06:59] <Zeu5> hi how do i read the history log of this channel? i need to search for a previus answer i got
[06:59] <theadmin> Zeu5: You can search http://irclogs.ubuntu.com
[06:59] <vishaltelangre> keiichi_dono, had you checked on canonical's website for that?
[06:59] <Zeu5> tks theadmin
[07:00] <keiichi_dono> Yes, but I find nothing.
[07:00] <Sam_Fisher> wow all the way back to 2004
[07:00] <keiichi_dono> If no one knows then that's fine...
[07:00] <Sam_Fisher> Better be careful what I admit to....
[07:00] <theadmin> Sam_Fisher: :P
[07:01] <inspiron> anyone?
[07:01] <red2kic> theadmin: Great. Everything went smooth. Thanks. +1 ;)
[07:01] <nanotube> Zeu5: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC
[07:01] <Sam_Fisher> keiichi_dono, sORRY LOOKS LIKE NO ONE DOES
[07:01] <vishaltelangre> keiichi_dono, :) Try to google it out! Don't get nervous! ;)
[07:01] <nanotube> Zeu5: more directly... http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[07:01] <theadmin> red2kic: No problem
[07:01] <theadmin> Sam_Fisher: capslock :/
[07:01] <Sam_Fisher> keiichi_dono, maybe you can think of one more bit of info?
[07:02] <keiichi_dono> It is for "quick and easy" development.
[07:04] <inspiron> how do i check what gcc glib libc etc versions are needed by a module which I want to compile against some kernel headers?
[07:07] <qm7> Hello. Is there a way to copy my entire harddrive to an external hard drive, WHILE im using the harddrive?
[07:07] <wildbat> !backup | qm7
[07:08] <didi> Is there a way to take the keyboard indicator off?
[07:08] <wildbat> !clone | qm7
[07:09] <phawx> Alright....so i found http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/
[07:09] <phawx> 0c45:63ea  	Laptop Integrated Webcam 2M (found in Dell Studio 1555 notebooks)  	Sonix Technology
[07:09] <phawx> thats mine and it's got a green check next to it
[07:10] <qm7> wildbat: I need to do more then replicate my packages. I need ALL files and settings copied. Is this possible?
[07:10] <_Christian> Hi, how i can view, my ram, my cpu, etc. on console (shell)
[07:10] <_Christian> ?
[07:11] <Gnea> _Christian: free (for ram), cat /proc/cpuinfo (for cpu)
[07:11] <didi> _Christian: cat /proc/cpinfo is a start
[07:11] <wildbat> qm7, rsync, or tar and untar~ which got links in the !backup
[07:11] <phawx> hmm
[07:11] <phawx> tryin to figure this shite out
[07:14] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Can someone help me with something?  I just ran clamtk - and it found 4 possible infections in the Cache of my browser again ...
[07:15] <duke_> = =
[07:15] <randerzander> is there a way to enable terminal window transparency without enabling desktop effects/compiz?
[07:15] <rr6937-aafxfhe> I want to know if these are really viruses or not - as clamtk calls them "possible infections".
[07:15] <duke_> = = 好久没上了...
[07:15] <steven89> What is the best rdbms for Ubuntu?
[07:15] <_Christian> Tanks alot
[07:15] <rr6937-aafxfhe> It's weird - because this is the same thing that was happening when I was using Firefox.  That is why I switched to using Google Chrome - because I thought I would no longer have this problem by doing so ...
[07:16] <steven89> !rdbms
[07:16] <crdlb> randerzander: there's no way to get real transparency without a compositing manager
[07:16] <nerve> Hello Everyone..Strange as it seems when I set my visual effects to Normal or any other except "None" they revert back to "None" on a reboot"
[07:16] <phawx> pidgen or empathy?
[07:16] <theadmin> nerve: Append "compiz --replace" to your profile, I guess.
[07:16] <randerzander> crdlb, thanks
[07:16] <crdlb> randerzander: you can get fake transparency (just showing the background image), or you could enable metacity's compositing manager
[07:18] <rr6937-aafxfhe> The file names in the cache are f_00018 (Status = PUA.Script.Packed-1), f_00023 (PUA.HTML.Infected.WebPage-2), f_00001d (PUA.HTML.Infected.WebPage-2), f_00024 (PUA.HTML.Infected.WebPage-2).  Can anyone give any insight into this situation?
[07:18] <Zwei> Hi, I'm a new linux user. I've read that linux does not require antivirus software but some do exist. I'd just like someone's opinion on the matter...
[07:18] <nerve> @theadmin : Its done. Thank You..!!
[07:18] <Zwei> Or there an article I should read?
[07:19] <nerve> @ theadmin Thank You
[07:19] <Zwei> s/Or /Or is /
[07:19] <rr6937-aafxfhe> does anyone know if these are really viruses?
[07:20] <red2kic> !antivirus | Zwei
[07:20] <theadmin> Zwei: Most antivirus software for Linux is designed against Windows viruses so you don't infect other machines
[07:20] <red2kic> Zwei: If you're concerned for weeping users on Windows, then yeah, you could install and scan your files when you download them. Windows viruses have NO EFFECTS on linux machines. :)
[07:20] <theadmin> rr6937-aafxfhe: There are 9 known viruses for Linux, 4 of them are broken by now, other 5 need root priveleges to work :P
[07:20] <rr6937-aafxfhe> anyone?
[07:21] <Zwei> red2kic, theadmin: thanks :)
[07:21] <rr6937-aafxfhe> theadmin: so what is that all about - when clamtk detects "viruses" in my browser cache?  Are these really viruses?  And what do the 9 viruses for Linux do exactly?
[07:22] <chandru_in> I also find that when I connect my WLAN dongle it gets detected as a storage device and the modem never connects.
[07:22] <theadmin> rr6937-aafxfhe: I don't know many details, but mainly they are your good old rimm-riffers. And clamav scans against Windows viruses AFAIK
[07:23] <vishaltelangre> theadmin, which are they, any article on them?
[07:23] <theadmin> vishaltelangre: I read somewhere, and forgot where
[07:24] <rr6937-aafxfhe> theadmin: what do you mean by "rimm-riffers"?  The file names in the cache are f_00018 (Status = PUA.Script.Packed-1), f_00023 (PUA.HTML.Infected.WebPage-2), f_00001d (PUA.HTML.Infected.WebPage-2), f_00024 (PUA.HTML.Infected.WebPage-2).  Can anyone give any insight into this situation? Are these really viruses?
[07:24] <prymal> how so I set a custom port in /etc/hosts ie. the mahchine I'm trying to sshh to uses port 2222 not 22
[07:24] <red2kic> prymal: ssh -p 2222 ?
[07:24] <rr6937-aafxfhe> theadmin: I can get rid of them easily by simply emptying my browser cache, but ...
[07:24] <theadmin> rr6937-aafxfhe: Might be browser exploits judging by names. rimm-riffer is something that deletes a lot of stuff (mainly by running a disguised "rm -rf /*" command or "rm -rf ~/*")
[07:25] <vishaltelangre> makariolewis, skreet, makk, One question friends, "ll chrome-browser support HTML5 and CSS3?
[07:25] <prymal> red2kic: in host file so I can just type "ssh xxx" to get in to the mahchine, currently it's ip hostname but with custom port that doens't work.
[07:26] <theadmin> vishaltelangre: Chrome is the only one known to support HTML5.
[07:26] <rr6937-aafxfhe> theadmin: OK - what do you mean by browser exploits?  Are they going to be destructive to my system?  What browser can I use besides Firefox and Chrome - where I am not going to have this problem?  Which browser besides these would you recommend - among the choices in the Ubuntu Software Center?
[07:26] <shawncm217> What is the appropriate channel for Ubuntu One Music Store support? I would like to know how to bypass the mp3 plug-in prompt.
[07:26] <linux> junauza.com/2008/12/5-known-linux-anti-virus-software-for.ht  this list 5 i think
[07:26] <thune3> rr6937-aafxfhe: i would suggest determining what site you are going to that has these questionable payloads, and take care to avoid it. You are likely not at risk, but perfectly safe browsing through minefields does not exist.
[07:26] <vishaltelangre> theadmin, no problem, I'll google for that... Thanks for info that there are 9 known viruses...
[07:26] <chandru_in> Is there anyway to disable zerocd feature in ubuntu 10.04 without installing additional packages?
[07:27] <red2kic> prymal: And what happen if the internal IP change?  You'll change that manually too? Afaik hosts are just for hosts, not ports.
[07:27] <holmser_> I was gifted an older dual xenon server, and I have been trying to install 10.04 server on it without any success.  It won't boot from a known good CD.
[07:27] <holmser_> anyone feel like helping me troubleshoot?
[07:27] <theadmin> rr6937-aafxfhe: Firefox is my favorite... browser exploits... most they can do on Linux is make your browser window jump around like crazy, also please install the WOT addon to ensure the safety of webpages (available for Firefox, IE (yuck) and Google-Chrome): www.mywot.org
[07:28] <red2kic> theadmin: Don't utter that Browser-That-Shall-Not-Be-Named word here. Thanks. :P
[07:28] <theadmin> red2kic: It's not the full name :D
[07:28] <vishaltelangre> theadmin, Firefox also supports, I checked a HTML5 video, palying w/o any flash plugin and start buffering from anywhere as you want!
[07:28] <rr6937-aafxfhe> theadmin: OK - they won't cause any problems if I logged on to my e-mail (i.e. make any of that information vulnerable), will they?
[07:28] <theadmin> vishaltelangre: o_O Really? Didn't know that
[07:28] <prymal> red2kic: they're live ip's (live to the world) for machines that have verious DB funcitons for me.  I'm just trying to make the login process easier with ssh-keygen for no passwords, and hosts so I can just ssh hostname
[07:28] <theadmin> rr6937-aafxfhe: Highly unlikely, that'd require a system-wide daemon of a kinds
[07:29] <red2kic> prymal: I see. Use aliases, maybe?
[07:29] <wildbat> is there a similar tools for ubuntu as Autoit in Windows?
[07:30] <theadmin> wildbat: What it does?
[07:30] <prymal> red2kic: never done it... google time - cheers for the help
[07:30] <red2kic> !aliases | prymal
[07:30] <red2kic> !alias | prymal
[07:30] <theadmin> ...ubottu seems to be dead today
[07:30] <red2kic> prymal: Yeah. Use your preferred search engine. :'(
[07:30] <prymal> red2kic: np, many thanks!
[07:31] <red2kic> theadmin: No. ubottu responded back in private window for me.
[07:31] <wildbat> theadmin, automation scripts ~ like keystroke and mouse move/click.
[07:31] <chandru_in> how can I know whether usb-mode switch needs to be installed on my system or not?  NM detects my device just fine even without the package.  Do I still have to install it?
[07:31] <theadmin> wildbat: Hm, I saw something somewhere, I believe it had "Ghost" among the name
[07:31] <bazhang> wildbat, seems to work under wine, check the appdb and /join #winehq
[07:31] <red2kic> wildbat: Why don't you try and tell us what you're trying to accomplish? Surely, (the main goal) can be done with a script.
[07:31] <bazhang> !appdb | wildbat
[07:32] <wildbat> red2kic, just looking for tools that can to mouse click automation
[07:33] <theadmin> wildbat: Those are called hands, no? :P
[07:33] <wildbat> bazhang, hmmm i will try but i doubt if it will work with the gnome programs
[07:34] <bazhang> wildbat, or try xdotool from the repos
[07:34] <red2kic> I wonder if it is possible to invoke mouse clicks on keyboard? something like "xclick 50,235" o.O
[07:34] <rr6937-aafxfhe> theadmin: OK - good to know.  It's weird - because I just reinstalled 9.10 after having this problem.  The only sites I really visited were Google, my e-mail, and certain forums that were results in Google ...
[07:34] <bazhang> !info xdotool | wildbat
[07:34] <nUboon2Age> I think maybe the tool keiichi_dono was asking about is called 'Quickly':  http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/08/quickly-new-rails-like-rapid-development-tools-for-ubuntu.ars
[07:34] <wildbat> bazhang, thanks will try that
[07:35] <rr6937-aafxfhe> theadmin: I mean - it's not like I'm visiting off-the-beaten path sites or anything ...
[07:35] <theadmin> rr6937-aafxfhe: Still, I recommend getting WOT installed - who knows?
[07:35] <red2kic> theadmin: I'll install WOT.
[07:36] <vishaltelangre> red2kic, I already having WOT on my FF
[07:37] <mandi> i'm trying to access a folder in the var/lib section, but the terminal is saying permission denied and the GUI says i'm not the owner and can't access the folder - any suggestions?
[07:37] <phawx> hey...so guvcview allows me to see my camera nad everything just fine, but i still cant talk on skype
[07:37] <vishaltelangre> mandi, sudo cd /var/lib
[07:37] <mintux> when I run zynaddsubfx another sound disabled like vlc or anything what shall I do for have multi sound ?
[07:38] <mandi> vishaltelangre: i did that, but when i try to access the specific file i'm looking for, it says permission denied
[07:38] <theadmin> vishaltelangre: "cd" is a part of bash and ain't gonna work with sudo
[07:38] <theadmin> mandi: do "sudo -i" to get a root shell
[07:38] <greezmunkey> theadmin: I lagged out and missed what you were saying about ??rimm-riffers?? what exactly are they, google reference?
[07:39] <red2kic> greezmunkey: <theadmin> rr6937-aafxfhe: Might be browser exploits judging by names. rimm-riffer is something that deletes a lot of stuff (mainly by running a disguised "rm -rf /*" command or "rm -rf ~/*")
[07:39] <vishaltelangre> mandi, sudo -i or su root (for su you need UNIX passwd)
[07:39] <mandi> got it! thx!
[07:40] <greezmunkey> red2kic: like a perl script, or the like...php code, etc?
[07:40] <vishaltelangre> theadmin, oh yeah, sudo -i or su works
[07:40] <theadmin> greezmunkey: Well, perl, php, python, can be on freakin anything
[07:40] <linux> the virus protection is the virus installer just install under root lol
[07:41] <greezmunkey> theadmin: interesting, sbut that would have to be root unless it attacked your home folder
[07:41] <theadmin> greezmunkey: How'd ya like this: python -c 'import os;  os.system("".join([chr(ord(i)-1) for i in "sn!.sg!+"]))' (DO NOT RUN ANYONE!)
[07:41] <red2kic> !danger
[07:41] <assad> how to run/install usb modem on 9.10 ?
[07:42] <assad> mine is make: haier
[07:42] <vishaltelangre> red2kic, omg rotfl
[07:42] <assad> connection is BSNL if it helps.
[07:42] <phawx> prob shouldnt be asking this...but i've got an iphone.....itunes doesnt work in ubuntu right
[07:42] <greezmunkey> theadmin: I'll admit ignorance of what that does.
[07:43] <theadmin> greezmunkey: Removes CWD basically
[07:43] <red2kic> !iphone | phawx
[07:43] <vishaltelangre> assad, just plug it in and configure it from network connections , no need of extra drivers and blah blah...
[07:44] <red2kic> I wonder if we ought to update iPad in that factoid. :O
[07:44] <phawx> was gonna say,  my phone is jailbroken :P
[07:44] <red2kic> !ops | _bt #fix-your-connection
[07:44] <greezmunkey> theadmin: CWD? change working directory??
[07:45] <theadmin> greezmunkey: s/change/current/
[07:45] <Flannel> red2kic: You could just come to #ubuntu-ops and tell us next time, since it's not really an emergency

[07:45] <greezmunkey> theadmin: uggh, not good!
[07:45] <vishaltelangre> phawx, http://maketecheasier.com/sync-iphone-with-rhythmbox/2010/02/13
[07:46] <theadmin> greezmunkey: So as you can see, the possible variations of just one command are endless
[07:46] <greezmunkey> theadmin: I do see, thanks for the heads up.
[07:47] <vishaltelangre> theadmin, check out this HTML5 video example: http://jilion.com/sublime/video
[07:47] <theadmin> vishaltelangre: meh video, don't wanna watch any (it's always slowish with my connection)
[07:47] <mek8630> Does anyone in here use mediatomb?
[07:48] <vishaltelangre> theadmin, dial-up?
[07:48] <itai> hi someone ripped a DVD for me, its on desktop and i play it with VLc , now i want to burn it back to a DVD ,which program would do that for me (it sits in two files -video_ts and audio_ts )
[07:48] <theadmin> vishaltelangre: No, bit better :D 256kbit/sec. Still always lags
[07:49] <vishaltelangre> itai, brasero
[07:49] <Mrokii> Hello. Can anybody tell me how I can remove an existing alias? One that I just created by using the "alias"-command?
[07:49] <red2kic> Mrokii: unalias
[07:50] <vishaltelangre> theadmin, I'm having a dial-up from my mobile phone... Similar at my end too! :P
[07:50] <Mrokii> red2kic:  okay, thanks.
[07:50] <khelvan> Hi, I switched my windows buttons back to the right from the left side in Lucid Lynx, and it worked, but now when I maximize applications, I lose the top bar that has the windows buttons, and I have no way of un-maximizing the window. Can someone help?
[07:50] <Flannel> hmm
[07:51] <itai> vishaltelangre, thanks, thats the default in karmic? do i need to convert it before burning or anthing ?
[07:51] <vishaltelangre> theadmin, I gave that just for show that firefox also supports HTML5, but has doubt about chromium-broser
[07:51] <theadmin> vishaltelangre: No idea bout chromium, but Chrome does
[07:51] <vishaltelangre> itai, which format you have of that video?
[07:51] <mek8630> so no one in here uses mediatomb?
[07:51] <red2kic> itai: No, those are native DVD filesystem. You should only need to burn. No need for converting or re-encoding.
[07:52] <itai> vishaltelangre, vob
[07:52] <vishaltelangre> theadmin, okay! :)
[07:52] <itai> red2kic, ok thanks
[07:52] <vishaltelangre> itai, I think it'll work out for you, it's a cd/dvd default video extension... no need to convert the video!
[07:53] <qm7> !sbackup
[07:53] <itai> vishaltelangre, thanks
[07:54] <iWolf> bai
[07:54] <KungFuBear> hi, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. I installed Tor using: sudo apt-get install tor. I can not find my torrc file. I need some help finding/getting it.
[07:54] <BentSpace> Has Gnome added a way to get a preview of the files inside a folder in the thumbnail icon of the folder in nautilus like in windows?
[07:54] <mek8630> why does mediatomb ask me to log in when I try to use it ?
[07:55] <bluecheese> What is the best web admin I could use on my server?
[07:55] <ZonkieNut> !mptk Mick Farren - [The Dna Cowboys Trilogy 02] - Synaptic Manhunt (v1) [txt].zip
[07:55] <vishaltelangre> !info mediatomb | mek8630
[07:55] <KungFuBear> !info torrc
[07:56] <KungFuBear> ugh
[07:56] <red2kic> mek8630: I use ushare in the past.
[07:56] <vishaltelangre> KungFuBear, what are you looking for?
[07:56] <bluecheese> !info web admin
[07:56] <mek8630>  red2kic: I don't understand because mediatomb worked without having to login the first time I used it, well there isn't even any place to set up a user name or anything
[07:56] <bluecheese> !info web ebox
[07:56] <KungFuBear> vishaltelangre: hi, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. I installed Tor using: sudo apt-get install tor. I can not find my torrc file. I need some help finding/getting it.
[07:57] <ryannn> Java doesn't work for me, any help please? I've tried installing it from software centre and from synnaptic by adding repos. I'm running lucid.
[07:57] <vishaltelangre> bluecheese, next time use /msg ubottu !hi
[07:57] <red2kic> mek8630: Log in... as in log in GDM?
[07:57] <bluecheese> k
[07:57] <mek8630> red2kic: GDM?
[07:57] <red2kic> mek8630: Probably because your settings are sitting in /home/mek/
[07:57] <padi999> I would like to make a feature request to empathy SIP client: I need a dialpad also AFTER I have dialed a number if I call service lines that direct you through issues by having you press numbers on the dialpad accordingly.
[07:57] <red2kic> mek8630: Gnome Display Manager -- Or as you say it, login.
[07:58] <greezmunkey> KungFuBear: locate torrc, or .torrc ??
[07:58] <Yosi> hi all
[07:58] <Yosi> Question:   Can I have Ubuntu Server 10.04, at 4am each morning (i'm guessing using cron), reboot the server, enter Clonzilla (available in my GRUB menu), bootup the Clonezilla, execute a backup image of my main RAID to a large drive (I know I can do this part by manually command line and it works) then when complete, reboot the system again and run Ubuntu Server (from GRUB)?  Can all these reboots etc and selection
[07:58] <mek8630> red2kic: ok I will check into that thank you. Is that the only thing you can think of?
[07:58] <KungFuBear> greezmunkey: .torrc I believe. I need to edit it so that I can use tor in irssi to connect to freenode
[07:58] <vishaltelangre> !info tor | KungFuBear
[07:59] <greezmunkey> KungFuBear: no, use the locate command :)
[07:59] <red2kic> mek8630: Well -- Why can't you log in? Check for settings in mediatomb -- It's probably under your name and if you're not in, then it'll be not be running.
[07:59] <vishaltelangre> KungFuBear, but the package is not in repos, how you've installed it w/ aptitude?
[07:59] <bluecheese> is ebox the best thing to use with ubuntu servers?
[07:59] <alabd> Good day all , would someone name briefly steps are required to make ubuntu a cloud server  ????
[07:59] <KungFuBear> greezmunkey: omg! you are a savior, I've been wondering how to do that forever now! Unfortunately, the only thing it finds is a .gz man file
[07:59] <mek8630> red2kic: I can't log in because I never set up a user name. It never required one.
[07:59] <KungFuBear> vishaltelangre: I had to add a dependancy
[08:00] <greezmunkey> KungFuBear: that's about all I can do for you from here, sorry.
[08:00] <KungFuBear> greezmunkey: thanks anyway, I learned something SUPER helpful!
[08:00] <Jordan_U> Yosi: Yes, using grub-reboot and adding startup scripts to clonezilla.
[08:00] <red2kic> mek8630: Have you seen this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MediaTomb
[08:01] <mek8630> red2kic: when I first install it mediatomb didn't require a user name and password, so I just reinstalled it but there isn't a place to even set one up. I haven't tried what you were talking about yet though.
[08:01] <mek8630> red2kic: no I haven't see that link yet I will check it out also.
[08:02] <greezmunkey> KungFuBear: here's an even better tip:  http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[08:02] <KungFuBear> heh
[08:02] <KungFuBear> thnx
[08:03] <greezmunkey> KungFuBear: bookmark it, I use it a lot.
[08:03] <EgyParadox> isn't the topic bit old?
[08:03] <KungFuBear> greezmunkey: I just downloaded it ;)
[08:04] <Jordan_U> Yosi: Basically, add a script to /etc/rc.local that will do the backup and reboot. Then on the Ubuntu side of things set GRUB_DEFAULT=saved in /etc/default/grub and run "sudo update-grub" (this is required for grub-reboot to work) and create a cron job that runs (as root): grub-reboot "Title of Clonezilla's grub menu entry here"
[08:04] <khelvan> Hello, I have lost my application title bars & window buttons...I have no window borders. Can someone help me get them back? I am running on lucid lynx.
[08:05] <Jordan_U> Yosi: That's /etc/rc.local in clonezilla
[08:07] <Yosi> thanks jordan, much appreciated...   i will test this out
[08:08] <Jordan_U> Yosi: You're welcome.
[08:12] <_patton> how to find out what resolution my screen is set to Ubuntu 10.04 please?
[08:13] <theadmin> _patton: xrandr|grep '+'
[08:14] <_patton> theadmin: thanks
[08:18] <greezmunkey> hmm
[08:19] <theadmin> khelvan: Did you by any chance kill the window manager?
[08:19] <Mrokii> khelvan:  You may check if you have "Visual Effects" disabled in the "Appearance"-preferences. I had the same effect on 9.10 and the reason was that the effects were disabled.
[08:20] <rashd7_> lastday i upgraded debian from lenny to sid
[08:20] <rashd7_> in lenny my network card is working
[08:20] <rashd7_> bit after upgrade i lost my network card driver
[08:20] <rashd7_> on the top taskbar it shows  `no network devices found``
[08:20] <rashd7_> i tried all non-free firmware but issue is not solved
[08:20] <rashd7_> in dmesg after doing modprobe tg3
[08:20] <rashd7_> it show my  network card bcm5784m on eth0 in dmesg
[08:20] <FloodBot1> rashd7_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:20] <theadmin> rashd7_: Debian? take that to their channels
[08:20] <khelvan> theadmin, Mrokii, I don't believe I killed the window manager...if I did, I didn't mean to. I have even rebooted, with no luck. I checked Appearance preferences, and I can't select any options. It is all greyed out.
[08:21] <help111> hey i just instaled ubuntu
[08:21] <help111> bt the sound drivers r missing.
[08:22] <help111> realtek sound drivers..
[08:22] <khelvan> theadmin, Mrokii - I should note that this is a netbook remix version of Lucid Lynx that I told, in the Login Window dialogue, to boot to normal Gnome since I hate the UNR interface
[08:23] <greezmunkey> "The problem with filtering firewalls are they inhibit the access to your network from the Internet." From _Linux The Complete Reference, 1996 edition.
[08:23] <greezmunkey> heh
[08:23] <anthony> hi to all of you guy's
[08:23] <stonehinge> hey
[08:24] <Mrokii> khelvan:  I see. Then I don't know what to do, I've never tried out the netboox-edition.
[08:25] <help111> Could anyone help me?
[08:25] <Sam_Fisher> how can I reinstall all network files?
[08:26] <ms2204> help111: hit me
[08:27] <help111> ms2204: thanks :) so here i m on ubuntu  lucid.. bt all my sound drivers are missing .. cant find anything appropriate in synaptic
[08:27] <aaditya> My chromium fonts are screwed since the last recent update. Anyone hear me?
[08:27] <theadmin> help111: Anythin' in System -> Administration -> Sound Drivers?
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[08:27] <aaditya> howdy ActionParsnip
[08:28] <ms2204> help111: whatz yr sc name?
[08:28] <help111> theadmin: theres nthing as sch sound drivers
[08:28] <help111> ms2204: realtek
[08:29] <ms2204> help111: can you go to:system-preference-sound?
[08:29] <help111> ms2204: also i need 2 disable the password asking thing everywhere.. help me with that too
[08:29] <stonehinge> what comes up in lspci?
[08:29] <help111> ms2204: ya m there ;
[08:29] <aaditya> help111: that's not a good idea
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> Help111: the asking for password will occur quite a bit til you get setup
[08:30] <help111> aaditya: ActionParsnip okay
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> Help111: then it only happens with updates
[08:30] <ms2204> help111:choose: Hardware tab, & try change each Profile
[08:30] <help111> ActionParsnip: okay lets hope it wnt matter me mch later .
[08:31] <help111> ms2204: k doing that..
[08:31] <aaditya> Apparently no one here knows what CROWmium browser is.
[08:31] <help111> ms2204: okay done thanks :)
[08:31] <thune3> help111: wrks?
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> Help111: linux uses decent user models rather than dumb windows with everyone as admin. You are a member of a special group which by using your password can get you single shot admin power. It makes the OS more secure
[08:31] <help111> thune3: yup :)
[08:32] <ms2204> help111: Can U hear sound?
[08:32] <help111> ms2204: ya ya :)
[08:32] <help111> ActionParsnip: hmm.. sounds good bt every update at setup it asks for password though..
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> Aaditya: is it from guwgle? ;)
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> Help111: yes, that's because you user is a user
[08:33] <help111> ms2204: one thing more, i got nvidia card here.. and i been getting udpate as in recommended driver udpate everytime i chck hardware drivers..
[08:33] <help111> ActionParsnip: as in?
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> Help111: users can only use the system. You can use gksudo and sudo to get admin type access
[08:34] <rr6937-aafxfhe> I would like to avoid any crap from hitting my computer, although I know Linux is pretty resitant to infection.  It's just personal preference.  Therefore, I will no longer use Firefox or Chrome.  Which one of these browsers in Ubuntu Software Center is the most tried, true, safe, and reliable: Epiphany, Seamonkey, Galeon, Midori, Arora, Kazehakase, NetSurf, Conkeror, Dooble
[08:34] <rr6937-aafxfhe> ???
[08:34] <help111> rr6937-aafxfhe: why nt firefox?
[08:34] <rr6937-aafxfhe> And I already know about WTO.  Still ...
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> Rr6937-aafxfhe: you will get a billion different answers to that so asking is fairly pointless
[08:35] <rr6937-aafxfhe> help111: Firefox is the first one I had problems with ...
[08:35] <kbrosnan> ubottu: !best
[08:35] <mintux> when I run zynaddsubfx another sound player doesn't work and I don't have no sound how can I have multi sound . it used /dev/dsp
[08:36] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  What about Opera?
[08:36] <thune3> rr6937-aafxfhe: why don't you do your own assesment and get back to us with your recommendation
[08:36] <ms2204> help111:update its fine, :-)
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> Rr6937-aafxfhe: i'd shoot for arora and chromium personally. Others will hail opera. Try a few, see which you like
[08:37] <ms2204> help111: for auto login clicking on System -> Administration -> Login Screen Settings
[08:37] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: Opera is kinda quirky.
[08:37] <mintux> give me some idea
[08:37] <help111> ms2204: bt everytime i chck it suggests me a different recommended driver, this is the 3rd time nw..
[08:37] <red2kic> rr6937-aafxfhe: You'll get hits regardless of what browsers you're using. IMO.
[08:37] <help111> ms2204: nt the login scree, i have kept it automatic..
[08:37] <karthik_> hi .. In youtube .. when I click on the progress bar/maximize, its not working ...  i removed all flash and reinstalled using sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree .. Still having the same problem.. in Ubuntu 10.04 .. Any solutions for this ?
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> Rr6937-aafxfhe: so what if we all said opera, would you change your opinion?
[08:37] <help111> ms2204: anyways if duirng the setup n update only it asks for password, m fine .
[08:38] <help111> karthik_: same issue here..
[08:38] <rr6937-aafxfhe> ActionParsnip: Arora, huh?  Have you used it?  Already tried Opera - didn't like it.
[08:38] <help111> ms2204: chck in wat karthik_ is saying. i got same issue
[08:38] <mintux> no soultion ?
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> Rr6937-aafxfhe: arora is fine
[08:38] <help111> ms2204: i need 2 drag it a play myself. the button doesnt wrk .
[08:38] <ms2204> help111: and choose your automatic login
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Rr6937-aafxfhe: I use it myself. I'm trying to show you why asking what browser to use is a pointless excercidse
[08:39] <paolo88> hi
[08:39] <ActionParsnip> Rr6937-aafxfhe: if we all said opera in unisson but you think its weird, would you switch opinion. Most likely not
[08:40] <mintux> nobody helps
[08:40] <paolo88> what's the log file where I can see the access to ssh at a pc?
[08:40] <rr6937-aafxfhe> red2kic: IMO?  Not familiar.  What does that mean.  So what is the best way to avoid crap from hitting my computer - if it doesn't matter what browser I use.  Apparently - browser exploits get through the in-built firewall ...
[08:40] <ojii> hi everyone
[08:41] <ActionParsnip> Rr6937-aafxfhe: all browsers are web facing so are all vulnerable. You can't avoid it
[08:41] <red2kic> rr6937-aafxfhe: IMO = In my opinion. People use port scanners all times in attempt of finding open ports and whatnot.
[08:41] <ojii> a few days back I added the US keyboard layout as a second layout to my system for a friend, now I can't get rid of it and it always defaults to it, despite me more than once removing it from the layouts in "Keyboard" and 'applying systemwide', how can I make it remember that there should only be one layout?
[08:41] <FullFlannelJacke> Anyone know how to get boinc to use a GPU?  Im on Lucid with a GTS 250
[08:43] <help111> karthik_: got any solution for that ?
[08:43] <rr6937-aafxfhe> red2kic: I thought Linux closes ports automatically.  So you can close all ports with the port scanners?  But you still need at least one open for Internet access, right?
[08:44] <red2kic> !firewall | rr6937-aafxfhe
[08:44] <red2kic> rr6937-aafxfhe: Yeah. How do you know you're getting hits in first place anyway?
[08:45] <red2kic> rr6937-aafxfhe: sudo ufw enable -- that'll help.  My mouse keeps malfunctioning, the cursor moves and all, but the buttons wont let me click sometimes. At the moment only the left click works, not right, and it screws up.
[08:48] <fillayy> I am running 10.04 on a laptop. My mouse keeps malfunctioning, the cursor moves and all, but the buttons wont let me click sometimes. At the moment only the left click works, not right, and it screws up.
[08:49] <thune3> mintux: set zynaddsubfx to use jack, setup jack to run through pulseaudio? maybe i'm not an expert with jack.
[08:49] <mintux> hmm
[08:49] <mintux> im installing oos4
[08:49] <mintux> oss4
[08:49] <greezmunkey> ojii: did you check you xorg.conf file for keyboard layout(s)?
[08:50] <ojii> greezmunkey, so i can't do it with GUI? I don't really like editing xorg.conf by hand
[08:51] <thune3> thune3: does zynaddsubfx offer to run through pulseaudio? have you tried it?
[08:51] <thune3> mintux: sorry see ^
[08:51] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  I don't know if it is the "best way". But I do use Firefox with extensions like FlashBlock, plus a host-file downloaded from the net that blocks a lot of spamming/spying-urls. Other than that, I try not to get too paranoid about the issue and use a bit of common sense.
[08:52] <greezmunkey> ojii: well, there is always this: sudo apt-get install --reinstall xkb-data - please research that before you run it though.
[08:53] <ojii> greezmunkey, i'll edit xorg.conf then
[08:53] <vishaltelangre> Mrokii, WOT, adblockplus also great add-ons too!
[08:53] <ojii> also: is it a known issue or just me that the newest kernel (-22) leads to a kernel panic on boot?
[08:53] <Mrokii> vishaltelangre:  Yep, that too.
[08:53] <mintux> thune3: what should I set in output to use pulse audio ? it set on /dev/dsp
[08:54] <Mrokii> vishaltelangre:  I just didn't want to mention *all* the extensions that could possibly be helpful. Mainly because I am not even sure how many I have installed over time, heh.
[08:54] <vagothcpp_> Hey, i just installed a new nic (same type as existing), but ubuntu server doesn't recognize it don't believe
[08:54] <vishaltelangre> Mrokii, :P
[08:54] <thune3> mintux: if it is set on /dev/dsp it will hog the output device, and nothing else can use it. i *think* this is your problem.
[08:54] <jordan> Having a problem with TTY and bootsplash display on Lucid, anyone got a minute?
[08:54] <fillayy> I am running 10.04 on a laptop. My mouse keeps malfunctioning, the cursor moves and all, but the buttons wont let me click sometimes. At the moment only the left click works, not right, and it screws up.

[08:55] <loopidity> is there a password for the default guest accout?
[08:55] <pheelee> loopidity i would say no

[08:56] <vishaltelangre> loopidity, no..
[08:56] <loopidity> my shutdown button messes up, and also the networking button
[08:56] <spenguin[work]> iceroot: well ive got the usb adaptor to show up as a /dev/fb0
[08:56] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: What is a "host-file" ???

[08:57] <assad> vishaltelangre, how to configure it from network connection ? i am using a gprs connection currently. but i want to use my usb modem on linux/ubuntu 9.10.

[08:57] <kuato-Ar> Schmidts rules !
[08:58] <vishaltelangre> assad, okay, as I know, you does not need anything else than just plugging your modem, just need to configure your ISP settings!
[08:58] <vishaltelangre> assad, preferences > network connections
[08:58] <assad> vishaltelangre, how do i do that?
[08:58] <anoopkumar> i am using 9.04 on my laptop its front speaker not produce sound
[08:58] <jordan> kuato-Ar, I believe there's a remember password option in the window where you add accounts
[08:58] <rr6937-aafxfhe> anyone?  What is a host-file?
[08:58] <kuato-Ar> yes, but not that passwords, empathy is asking for a password when i wish to use it
[08:59] <kuato-Ar> not the accounts
[08:59] <kuato-Ar> but to use the program itself
[08:59] <assad> vishaltelangre, which one do i ichose? wired, woreless, wireless modem?
[08:59] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  Actually "hosts" (in "/etc/hosts"). It can be used to block certain urls/IPs for every application.
[08:59] <jordan> kuato-Ar, Ah, nevermind then. I'm not sure about that one
[08:59] <jordan> Having a problem with TTY and bootsplash display on Lucid, anyone got a minute?
[08:59] <greezmunkey> ojii: I've had no kernel panics with it, I checked kern.log, and found nothing to worry about.
[09:00] <kuato-Ar> @_@ , thansk anyway :D
[09:00] <ojii> greezmunkey, well i do and apparently some on the forums do too, trying to see if they found a solution but doesn't look like it so far
[09:00] <greezmunkey> fillayy: usb mouse?
[09:00] <anoopkumar> i am using 9.04 on my laptop its front speaker not produce sound
[09:00] <anoopkumar> i am using 9.04 on my laptop its front speaker not produce sound
[09:00] <anoopkumar> i am using 9.04 on my laptop its front speaker not produce sound
[09:00] <anoopkumar> i am using 9.04 on my laptop its front speaker not produce sound
[09:00] <FloodBot1> anoopkumar: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:00] <vishaltelangre> assad, I just don't have any idea, b'cause I'm connected via mobile broadband (Aircel) from my mobile! :(
[09:01] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: Huh.  OK - and it's software you have to download?  Apparently it's been pretty effective for you.  I guess maybe I should just give Firefox another shot - and just make sure I have appropriate extensions installed ...
[09:01] <red2kic> anoopkumar: Upgrade to 10.04 then floodbot this channel if the problem still exist.
[09:01] <ojii> I can't fsck a mounted partition right?
[09:01] <red2kic> ojii: Right.
[09:02] <assad> vishaltelangre, me too!! i am using gprs from aircel
[09:02] <assad> but it is too slow
[09:02] <jordan> Having a problem with TTY and bootsplash display on Lucid, anyone got a minute?
[09:02] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  There are a few "pre-made" files available on the net. I couldn't say right now, from where I downloaded it. But it contains several thousand entries for all kinds of urls that are blocked which are known spammers or companies that track your paths. And it's easy to edit the hosts-file on your own.
[09:02] <assad> vishaltelangre, hence i though i move over too usb modem
[09:03] <karthik_> help111: sorry .. i didnt see your chat ... No I didnt get any solution ..
[09:04] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  All in all, when it comes to functions and usability, I prefer Firefox and Opera on Ubuntu. For me, they seem to be the best combination of reliability and robustness.
[09:05] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii:  I'm going to have to agree with you on that, I guess.  What is your opinion of Google Chrome?
[09:05] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  I do not trust Google, so I have never and most probably will never use that.
[09:05] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Does anyone know about the host-file that Mrokii is talking about - and where I can download it from?
[09:05] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  I will check were I downloaded the hosts-file, one moment...
[09:06] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: I can understand why you don't trust Google.  They have not proven to be trustworthy.  Thanks for looking, I'll wait ...
[09:06] <help111> i want vc++ to run via winehq
[09:06] <help111> bt m nt able to do so
[09:06] <vahid> earlier today my system became unbootable and I repaired it by reinstalling grub from a live usb.  Now that I am back in the system, i notice that a lot of my software is no longer installed.  I'm not sure why...  Where can I look to see what might have happened to it?
[09:07] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: Yeah - and if I were to use any other browser, it just wouldn't be that developed in terms of functionality and security than a browser like Firefox or Opera.
[09:07] <vagothcpp_> I just ran lspci and found my ethernet controller, but i still cannot use it, ifconfig only shows the loopback interface, any ideas?
[09:07] <kbrosnan> help111: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iAppId=892 looks like that is not a program that works under wine
[09:08] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  That's what I think, too. I think that both of them are the most advanced and actively developed. Most other browsers I tried so far lack too many functions I miss.
[09:08] <assad> plz help me configure my USB modem for ubuntu 9.10?
[09:08] <vishaltelangre> !modem > assad
[09:08] <help111> kbrosnan: no i dnt need to run Visual studio, but just the visual c++ framework
[09:09] <vahid> before I realised the system wouldn't boot, i was getting squares where text should have been, and some icons had disappeared
[09:09] <kbrosnan> oh never messed around with the Windows bianarys for wine
[09:09] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  Here is an explanation of the hosts-file and how to use it, as a starter: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
[09:10] <vagothcpp_> Is there a way to list all devices active on my machine?
[09:10] <jordan> Having a problem with TTY and bootsplash display on Lucid, anyone got a minute?
[09:10] <wise_crypt> help111: use winetrick to download it
[09:10] <dum> how do i check if firewall is blocking an application?
[09:10] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: And that site itself is safe, right?  Sometimes some of these self-help sites can posers, as I'm sure you well know ...
[09:11] <dum> and how do i turn off firewall for udp  port
[09:11] <dum> having issues with quick synergy
[09:11] <zingbats> I've stuck ubuntu 10.04 (desktop for now) with an old SCSI tape drive. I've installed bacula but it appears to not have the drivers even though ubuntu detects the drive. Are there any better tape backup programs available, google was mostly directing to bacula.
[09:12] <asela> ha haa
[09:12] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  I don't think there is much to fear. The host-file is basically just a list of URLs and IPs that are being blocked, so no application on your system can access them.
[09:12] <rocket16> Friends, my friend made a mistake, by failing to install Ubuntu. But he formatted his E: Drive to Ext4, and although I am helping him, but he is absolutely novice, and can not use Live Mode or DiskUtility to reformat the partition from LiveMode. Is there a way to set E: drive back to NTFS from inside Windows? (E: Drive is invisible now in Windows, as Ext4 can't be read by Windows)
[09:13] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: No, I know.  I'm just new to Linux I guess.  So I'm just gettin' into my groove with it still.  Still searching for the source for the host-file?
[09:13] <wise_crypt> !partition > rocket16
[09:14] <scunizi> rocket16: that's really a windows question.. #windows
[09:14] <rocket16> Thanks scunizi and wise_crypt
[09:14] <jordan> How would I go about changing the default resolution during boot?
[09:14] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  I am just checking the url I have my bookmarks (and download the latest version of the hosts-file).
[09:14] <alabd> Good day all
[09:15] <alabd> UEC is for setting cloud server or client ?
[09:15] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: OK - thanks!  I really appreciate it.  I'll just re-install 9.10 tomorrow to get a fresh start - and then implement these practices ...
[09:16] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  I downloaded the file from here: http://hostsfile.mine.nu/downloads/ (one of the first two entries (<IP_ADDRESS>-format). They're the same, only that one is archived and the other is not...
[09:16] <Jordan_U> alabd: Server. For help with UEC you're probably better off asking in #ubuntu-server
[09:16] <pip> Hello, how to make sure the ubuntu system I'm on is i386 32bit version or the x86_64 64bit version ?
[09:17] <alabd> Jordan_U:  thanks
[09:17] <Jordan_U> alabd: You're welcome.
[09:17] <scunizi> pip: in a terminal type uname -a
[09:18] <pip> scunizi, and ?
[09:18] <Gryllida> How do I insrease scrollbar size? This is absent in system - preferences - appearance
[09:18] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  What I do with it when I first used it was to check the contents of my the file "/etc/hosts". There should be maybe 6 to 10 entries in there as a standard. So I just "merged" my own hosts-file with the one I downloaded and put it into the "/etc"-folder...
[09:18] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: It's so great that Ubuntu does not take that long to install.  It's just the updates that take a while - but that's OK.
[09:18] <scunizi> pip: hit enter.. the resulting output will let you know.. i686 is 32bit and anything mentioning 64 is 64 bit
[09:18] <vagothcpp_> Alright, a problem I am having is, i just booted up Ubuntu Server 10.04LTS after installing, the installer used the network card fine, but after booting it, ifconfig only shows the lo device, lspci & dmesg show that my card is recognized, dmesg also shows that udev renamed eth0 to eth1, anyway, added entries to the interfaces list for eth0 & eth1, rebooted network service and got: No such device for eth0, and ignoring unknown device eth1, any ideas?
[09:19] <alabd> Jordan_U:  and with UEC we can make a cloud server on ubuntu yes ?
[09:19] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: OK.  So how do you merge them?  Is this just a text file?  Or do you have run certain commands to make that happen?
[09:19] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe: To test it afterwards just have a look at the hosts-file and try to access one of the urls mentioned there via any browser. It should give you an error-message that the url can't be accessed.h I don't think so).
[09:19] <alabd> what is UEC a pack of softwares ?
[09:19] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  It's a simple textfile
[09:19] <alabd> and how about on client nothing required ?
[09:20] <Jordan_U> alabd: http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud
[09:20] <vishaltelangre> pip, yeah that's it! |cc scunizi
[09:20] <alabd> Jordan_U:  saw there before
[09:20] <kraut> moin
[09:20] <pip> scunizi, for a x86_64 machine, it's better to install the 64bit ubuntu ?
[09:20] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: And you've tested both of those sites you are telling me about - and they themselves are safe?
[09:20] <vagothcpp_> Did my last post get sent? (the really long one)
[09:21] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: What does ".nu" in the URL mean?  Do you know?
[09:21] <vishaltelangre> vagothcpp_, yeah, your prev update is viewable here! :)
[09:21] <alabd> Jordan_U:  would exaplain this ? Amazon EC2 fits perfectly with Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud's modularity, virtualisation capabilities, range of applications and optimised performance.
[09:21] <vagothcpp_> vishaltelangre: Sweet, any idea's though?
[09:22] <scunizi> pip: not neccessarily.. 64 runs fine .. but is really only necessary if you have more than 4 gig of ram.. that being said I run 64 bit kubuntu on my desktop and 32bit Ubuntu on my laptop
[09:22] <scunizi> pip: both are dual core machines.. and neither has more than 4 gigs of ram
[09:22] <vishaltelangre> vagothcpp_, sorry I'm a dial-up user! :(
[09:23] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  Nope, I don't know. But as I said, I don't see why there should be anything to fear. The hosts-file is pretty simple. It contains numerous linkes in the format "<IP_ADDRESS>   url", which just means that any app that tries to access the url.
[09:23] <Jordan_U> alabd: Marketing speak for UEC is designed to work well with Amazon EC2 (pre made images available, I think Amazon even offers then so there's no extra setup)
[09:24] <vagothcpp_> hmm, got it to work
[09:24] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe: An extract from the url I posted above: "Example - the following entry <IP_ADDRESS> ad.doubleclick.net blocks all files supplied by that DoubleClick Server to the web page you are viewing...."
[09:24] <vagothcpp_> thanks for the therapy =P
[09:24] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  ".. This also prevents the server from tracking your movements. Why? ... because in certain cases "Ad Servers" like Doubleclick (and many others) will try silently to open a separate connection on the webpage you are viewing, record your movements then yes ... follow you to additional sites you may visit.""
[09:24] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: OK - well I'm sure there is more than one source - and I can just make sure the one I use is safe with something like WTO.
[09:25] <Mrokii> WTO?
[09:25] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: Yes - I'm sure it's great.
[09:25] <Jordan_U> alabd: There are also other nice integration things, like byobu (addon profiles for the screen utility basically) showing you how much a server instance is costing you in real time.
[09:26] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  There are a few sites available I think. Generally I tend to "the more the better" in that case. Plus, if there should be a site you can't access anymore, you just add a "#" in front of the line for that url (in the hosts-file) and effectively make a comment out of it, so it is accessible again.
[09:26] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  And certainly you can add your own entries manually as well if you want.
[09:26] <alabd> Jordan_U: thanks can not get if EC2 is an image or is a software or is a concept
[09:27] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  btw, the hosts-file on the site I mentioned contains more than 90.0000 entries, heh. That should block a good amount of tracking-services :)
[09:28] <Jordan_U> alabd: It's an image, which is a minimal Ubuntu install + packages for EC2 / eucalyptus integration.
[09:28] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: I see.  That definitely helps.  Maybe I meant WOT.  It's this extension that tells you how safe and reliable the site you are on - actually is.
[09:29] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  Ah yes, I know that and use it myself.
[09:29] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Mrokii: Anyway - it's late.  I need to go.  Thanks for your help!  Linux is always a learning experience, for sure :)
[09:29] <Mrokii> rr6937-aafxfhe:  It definitely is. Goodnight.
[09:30] <rr6937-aafxfhe> Goodnight.  All the best with Linux :)

[09:32] <OlegSmall> please help to configure video card nVidia GeForce Go 6100 on Ubuntu 4.10.
[09:32] <OlegSmall> Installed Nvidia driver version 173, it works well, but with a nasty bug:
[09:32] <OlegSmall> to operate 3D acceleration after booting the system need to run NVIDIA X Server Settings, go to the tab X Server Display Configuration
[09:32] <OlegSmall> change any parameter (eg refresh rate), and click Apply.
[09:32] <FloodBot1> OlegSmall: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:32] <OlegSmall> After that, everything works well. And so it should be done after each boot.
