[08:20] <w3asal> j #videolan
[08:20] <Polterge|st> well whatever but I'm calling it what it is
[08:21] <Polterge|st> I do not even use Ubuntu on this system. I use it on the other computer and know a bit about it but whoever was trying the dcc thing is sadly mistaken
[08:22] <vdubhack> does anyone happen to know where to look on a ISO to change its default setting of a specific IP address? I want to make it be DHCP and not set to a static IP
[08:22] <Real_Ubot> Will it slow down my Internet using a home server as a proxy server for my laptop?
[08:22] <User010> Hi at all, my Ubuntu doesn't listen to inputs sometimes and i have to force the shutdown to restart the system. Please help me.
[08:23] <RSMITH16384> real, yes and no
[08:23] <vdubhack> Real_Ubot: I would say its dependant on how you set it up and your IP tables :D
[08:23] <Polterge|st> anyway I got what I wanted earlier so thanks for the helo
[08:23] <Polterge|st> help*
[08:23] <Polterge|st> I'm out
[08:23] <RSMITH16384> slower for new connections, faster for cached ones
[08:25] <User010> Who helps me? :(
[08:25] <freeride> hello, I've just had a request by pidgin: sudo rm -rf/  What does it mean? Something like in windows format c: ???
[08:25] <lstarnes> freeride: do not do it!
[08:25] <lstarnes> freeride: it deletes everything
[08:26] <vdubhack> yeah dont do it
[08:26] <freeride> lstarnes I know, but who could do this?
[08:26] <lstarnes> freeride: someone who's trying to get a cheap laugh
[08:26] <freeride> :D
[08:26] <RSMITH16384> user what do you mean it doesnt listen to inputs?
[08:27] <freeride> lstarnes but still if press Accept, i will need to enter sudo password?
[08:27] <RSMITH16384> you cant type? you cant shut down, be specific
[08:27] <lstarnes> freeride: only if it asks
[08:27] <lstarnes> freeride: I would recommend ignoring the request
[08:28] <freeride> lstarnes , i understand but why does pidgin launch bash scripts?
[08:28] <lstarnes> freeride: it doesn't
[08:29] <freeride> lstarnes so how could this request delete my files?
[08:29] <kinja-sheep> freeride: Take a screenshot! I think it just sent you a text message. That's all.
[08:29] <Fog> how come 'rythmbox' doesnt show up in apt-get?
[08:29] <yuanyelele> Hi! Is there a free version of mplayer for Ubuntu?
[08:29] <freeride> kinja-sheep I closed it
[08:29] <lstarnes> freeride: was it a file transfer request?
[08:29] <lstarnes> yuanyelele: yes
[08:29] <User010> RSMITH16384: I would say this: the system appears blocked because i press some keystrokes and click on buttons but it doesn't respond to these inputs. When i pass the pointer over buttons they get the focus but the click on them don't take any effect.
[08:29] <freeride> lstarnes no, it wasn't, just text message
[08:29] <yuanyelele> lstarnes: Where can I find it?
[08:30] <RSMITH16384> is this a live cd or an installed system?
[08:30] <lstarnes> yuanyelele: look for it in the package manager
[08:30] <User010> I have Ubuntu Jaunty installed on my notebook
[08:30] <freeride> lstarnes in fact there were 25 requests from different users
[08:30] <RSMITH16384> was it ever working before?
[08:30] <lstarnes> freeride: just ignore them
[08:30] <parkerlreed> Anybody had luck with iogear gbu421?
[08:30] <RSMITH16384> or this is right after install?
[08:31] <DexterLB> there's an autocomplete problem in karmic, anyone else experienced it?
[08:31] <freeride> lstarnes yeah, thanks
[08:31] <vdubhack> anyone know where the file location is for setting a static IP on a livecd slax based?
[08:31] <yuanyelele> lstarnes: that one is in multiverse, I want a free version.
[08:31] <lstarnes> freeride: if they're file transfer requests, it's probably an attempt to trigger a somewhat uncommon bug
[08:31] <lstarnes> yuanyelele: uhh
[08:31] <lstarnes> yuanyelele: free as in price?
[08:31] <Fog> does ubuntu have anything as good as winscp?
[08:31] <parkerlreed> 9.10
[08:31] <Fog> as far as a graphical sftp client
[08:31] <yuanyelele> lstarnes: in freedom
[08:32] <kinja-sheep> Fog: Filezilla?
[08:32] <kinja-sheep> Fog: Even Nautilus can do it -- Check it under Connect To Server.
[08:32] <parkerlreed> Fog: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=47350
[08:32] <lstarnes> yuanyelele: I think it is free as in freedom, but there might be some code in it for patented codecs
[08:32] <freeride> lstarnes but text request could do nothing?
[08:32] <lstarnes> freeride: no
[08:32] <lstarnes> freeride: only if you copy them into a terminal
[08:32] <freeride> ok
[08:33] <lstarnes> yuanyelele: in which case you can download the source code and edit out the bad parts
[08:33] <freeride> lstarnes well, sure
[08:33] <lstarnes> yuanyelele: it is licensed under the GPL
[08:33] <yuanyelele> lstarnes: I think ubuntu should make a free version because mplayer if so popular.
[08:33] <lstarnes> yuanyelele: it is free
[08:33] <parkerlreed> vlc
[08:33] <RSMITH16384> vdub are you going to build a new livecd?
[08:34] <lstarnes> yuanyelele: but it is included in multiverse due to the codecs that it uses being patented
[08:34] <freeride> how to change root password?
[08:34] <yuanyelele> lstarnes: I mean put the patented codecs in a separate package
[08:34] <Sqeatz> does anybody know why youtube will only let me watch partnered videos?
[08:34] <kinja-sheep> !noroot | freeride
[08:35] <lstarnes> yuanyelele: I would recommend asking the MOTUs about that
[08:35] <nisstyre65> !sudo
[08:35] <lstarnes> yuanyelele: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU
[08:35] <MoralExpl> there is however, the sudo su
[08:35] <yuanyelele> lstarnes: Like gstreamer, -bad, -ugly, something like that.
[08:35] <MoralExpl> !sudo su
[08:35] <lstarnes> MoralExpl: sudo -i is preferred over sudo su
[08:36] <MoralExpl> why is that
[08:36] <freeride>  kinja-sheep why not? Still thanks
[08:36] <lstarnes> MoralExpl: because it only launches sudo and the shell
[08:36] <lstarnes> MoralExpl: sudo su launches su too
[08:36] <freeride> !root
[08:36] <MoralExpl> gotcha
[08:36] <User010> Exactly, this behavior becomes up after i had upgraded Firefox to Shiretoko. Before I had not problems and I haven't installed other applications. I've just installed the updates that the synaptic update system advice.
[08:36] <User010> *the synaptic update system suggests
[08:36] <User010> Obviously this behavior appears when I'm using Shiretoko...
[08:36] <freeride> !wmf
[08:37] <freeride> !wfm
[08:37] <RSMITH16384> so toss it
[08:37] <Real_Ubot> vdubhack: Hm, I thought of using like ssh -D 9999 user@home-server ant the just change settings in Firefox. How would that affect the Internet speed on my laptop?
[08:38] <Real_Ubot> vdubhack: Than use the original server settings for Ubuntu Server.
[08:38] <Real_Ubot> *Then
[08:38] <ShazbotMcNasty> I'm going to make a storage partition on this hard drive, should I make it exFAT, or NTFS?
[08:38] <ShazbotMcNasty> it has to be one of the two...
[08:38] <ShazbotMcNasty> I've never used exFAT
[08:38] <ShazbotMcNasty> and have no idea if it's any good
[08:39] <kinja-sheep> ShazbotMcNasty: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems
[08:39] <lstarnes> ShazbotMcNasty: I would probably go with ntfs
[08:40] <vdubhack> Real_Ubot: I wouldnt think very much but if you setup your own IP table your as fast as you can get as you setup it up to route for your situation.
[08:41] <crash2108> Does anyone have a reccomened GPS application?

[08:45] <sandhya> Hi, copying files from my hard drive to my thumb drive is really slow. When I'm doing so, the entire laptop becomes quite unresponsive
[08:45] <floppyears> hi guys, I have an old version of git installed in /usr/loca/bin, how can I remove that?
[08:45] <sandhya> any idea why this is happening?
[08:46] <sandhya> floppyears: using the package manager?
[08:46] <RSMITH16384> writes to flash drives are usually slow
[08:47] <vdubhack> anyone know where the file location is for setting a static IP on a livecd slax based?
[08:47] <floppyears> sandhya: I have two versions of git installed: one from source (trying to remove) and another one from a deb

[08:48] <parkerlreed> My adapter had to be turned on in Windows foirst.
[08:48] <floppyears> sandhya: I tried: make: *** No rule to make target `uninstall'.  Stop.
[08:48] <parkerlreed> first
[08:48] <freeride> how to get video adapter info?
[08:49] <sandhya> floppyears: you'll have to wait for somebody more knowledgeable, I'm afraid
[08:49] <sandhya> there's a #git as well, fyi
[08:49] <floppyears> sandhya: no problem. Thanks for trying though :)

[08:54] <RSMITH16384> paul, what is the problem
[08:54] <opticon> wubi
[08:55] <Allstars1aus> Cutiya, ubuntu installer will make a new partition for ubuntu next to windows.
[08:55] <kinja-sheep> Cutiyar: If you want to play around with Ubuntu for experiments, use Wubi. If you intend to use it everyday, dual-boot.
[08:56] <Cutiyar> i need to install ubuntu completely without windows
[08:56] <Cutiyar> i dont want windows anymore
[08:56] <Allstars1aus> Cutiya, wipe your hard drive..install unbuntu from live CD!
[08:56] <RSMITH16384> cut, boot with cd
[08:56] <RSMITH16384> install option
[08:56] <RSMITH16384> next next next
[08:57] <RSMITH16384> and your on your way
[08:57] <paulus68> RSMITH16384: well I can't get my samba shared on my windows
[08:57] <Allstars1aus> better download ubuntu * before * you wipe the drive!
  what to do with hards?
[08:57] <CodeTBone> You dont need to format it
[08:57] <asina12> Hi, Can someone plz explain to me what this partial command means? "sudo -u www-data"
[08:57] <Allstars1aus> Cutiya, i use the ultimate boot cd to erase the drive.
[08:57] <CodeTBone> When you install from the LiveCD it will format it for you if you select use entire hard drive
[08:57] <RSMITH16384> explain your network
[08:58] <Guest362> where can you ask facebook questions?
[08:58] <kinja-sheep> asina12: Looks like it'll run as a user "www-data"
[08:58] <crash2108> This is stupid.
[08:58] <Guest362> why do I have to identify for my name? that never used to be the case!
[08:58] <Cutiyar> i want to install ubuntu in one hard and dont loss my another hards
[08:59] <RSMITH16384> cut if your not familiar with scsi device ids just unhook them while you install
[08:59] <kinja-sheep> Guest362: Use a non-registered nickname.

[09:00] <asina12> kinja-sheep: Thanks kinja...I thought it was another option for -u
[09:00] <RSMITH16384> ping both ways?
[09:00] <paulus68> RSMITH16384: that is working correctly
[09:00] <kinja-sheep> asina12: In the future, you can always look up "sudo --help" for quick glance or a detailed manual "man sudo"
[09:00] <RSMITH16384> all devices in same workgroup?
[09:01] <petsounds> !register > Vinceman
[09:01] <paulus68> RSMITH16384: yes they are
[09:02] <RSMITH16384> is samba working on one net but not the other or entirley not working?
[09:02] <Vinceman> petsounds how do you set XChat to automatically log you on with a certain name?
[09:03] <Vinceman> petsounds never mind I see it
[09:03] <paulus68> RSMITH16384: samba is working however my guess is that's iptable related
[09:03] <Vinceman> is it important to keep the same name for a long while?
[09:03] <RSMITH16384> works on 0.3 but not 0.0?
[09:03] <petsounds> Vinceman, ok and don't forget to set your nikserv password, so you don't have to identify everytime you log in.
[09:03] <RSMITH16384> or vice versa?
[09:04] <Kismet> hey .. happy new year
[09:04] <petsounds> Vinceman, yes it's important. your nickname is your identitiy.
[09:04] <Kismet> dose anyone have a clue why banshee is going up to 100% cpu during skipping tracks
[09:04] <paulus68> RSMITH16384: the 0.0 is external towards my ISP and I would like it to work on the 0.3
[09:05] <Kismet> ???
[09:06] <Kismet> dose anyone have a clue why banshee is going up to 100% cpu for 10 sec while skipping tracks
[09:06] <RSMITH16384> whay have the 0.0 net at all?
[09:06] <RSMITH16384> what else is in there?
[09:08] <paulus68> RSMITH16384: on the 0.0 nothing I just need to access it from the 3.0 range
[09:09] <RSMITH16384> seems like un unnessasary layer of complexity
[09:09] <crash2108> Anyone know about that brightness issue?

[09:12] <CodeTBone> Hey running off an old LiveCD extracting some source code, have mounted external HD but its currently a read only filesystem, how can I change that?
[09:12] <ae86-drifter> you would have to enable write permission..............
[09:13] <CodeTBone> I know.... sudo chmod 777 doesnt work neither does chown
[09:13] <usr13> !printing | tahta
[09:15] <ae86-drifter> CodeTBone, un mount it then remount with the -o rw option
[09:15] <ae86-drifter> it may be mounted read only
[09:15] <tahta> what's cups? I'm a newbies
[09:15] <fractalis> I noticed that Karmic does not include r600_dri.so in the mesa package, does anyone know if this will change in Lucid?

[09:17] <RSMITH16384> network print servers are >$20 nowadays
[09:18] <RSMITH16384> if its multifunction you can get a dlink print server that will do scanning too
[09:18] <RSMITH16384> but itll cost ya 60

[09:43] <ubuntunewbie> What step I should make or setting on ubuntu before changing ? It's amd boardto amd
[09:43] <ubuntunewbie> Thank you
[09:43] <erkan^> ?
[09:43] <om26er> ubuntunewbie, worked for me after two reboots..
[09:44] <ubuntunewbie> om26er: I just worry it'd be like window need to reformat the whole os
[09:44] <BlouBlou> ubuntunewbie: Ubuntu 8.04 is LTS, so you'll be able to update to 10.04 LTS
[09:44] <ubuntunewbie> BlouBlou: really ?
[09:44] <BlouBlou> ubuntunewbie: You can update from LTS to another LTS directly
[09:45] <ubuntunewbie> BlouBlou: but it's not about updates , it's about hardware change chipset change
[09:45] <BlouBlou> ubuntunewbie: oh, I missreaded
[09:45] <ubuntunewbie> BlouBlou: So will be waitinf for 10.4
[09:45] <ubuntunewbie> BlouBlou: :-)
[09:46] <deviad> Flannel, I tried with Synaptics as it was suggested but I'm not able to get a rid of nvidia-glx-185
[09:46] <RSMITH16384> it seems at some point there would need to be some driver doenloaded/installed
[09:46] <om26er> erkan^, have you searched ubuntuforums.org ?
[09:46] <deviad> if I run dpkg -l it's there, for apt-get remove --purge is not there
[09:46] <deviad> it is not*
[09:46] <erkan^> ok i go see
[09:46] <Flannel> deviad: What's the output to: `dpkg -l | grep nvidia-glx-185` (one line, so just paste in channel)
[09:47] <deviad> rc  nvidia-glx-185                       185.18.36-0ubuntu10~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa4             NVIDIA binary Xorg driver

[09:47] <teage> Hi, i have solved my previous problem but in the process have removed my network indicate from the panel.
[09:47] <kylecarey> how do you delete a file through console?
[09:47] <teage> how do i get it back?
[09:47] <MorphyNOR> kylecarey: rm
[09:47] <ubuntunewbie> So anyone upgrade their pc without formatting ubuntu ?
[09:47] <Reid> I have 3 harddrives in my system, but Ubuntu isn't seeing my largest (500gb) drive.
[09:47] <Flannel> deviad: the rc at the front of that means that it's removed, and that the config files are still there (meaning you didn't purge it when you removed it).  So yes, it's uninstalled.
[09:47] <voidmage> om26er: have any ideas about my GT240?
[09:48] <deviad> how do I purge those files?
[09:48] <om26er> voidmage, lemme search
[09:48] <om26er> voidmage, can this somehow be related with your PSU ?
[09:48] <iceroot> is there a way to splitt the screen on TTY1? so i can for e.g. irssi and something else on one screen and can tab between them?
[09:49] <iceroot> deviad: apt-get purge packagename  for removing conf-files. if you use "remove" its not removing conf-files
[09:49] <voidmage> om26er: i doubt it, my PSU meets the requirements for my card. the only thread i could find was on nvnews about this, but most of them haven't tried the 195 drivers.
[09:49] <voidmage> i get this line in my xorg.log when it crashes: (WW) Jan 02 00:00:45 NVIDIA(0): WAIT (1, 6, 0x8000, 0x00007184, 0x00007198)
[09:50] <puremichael> hi - can someone tell me whats wrong if i get a really high cpu load while moving windows / watching youtube? i've tried both default ati drivers and the binary ones
[09:50] <iceroot> puremichael: compiz?
[09:50] <om26er> voidmage, older driver did work fine?
[09:50] <puremichael> iceroot, compiz is not activated
[09:50] <voidmage> om26er: older driver doesn't support this card
[09:51] <RSMITH16384> pure what cpu?
[09:51] <om26er> puremichael, can you give your system specs?
[09:51] <voidmage> om26er: officially, at least
[09:51] <MorphyNOR> deviad: did it work?
[09:51] <deviad> http://pastebin.com/m3cdb0c1d
[09:51] <deviad> this is the output, there are some directories that it can't remove
[09:51] <puremichael> xp3800+, ati2600, 6gb ram, amd690g chipset
[09:51] <crankharder> i installed mysql and there's only one user, debian sys maint -- there's no root user, so the only way I can log in is with --skip-grant-tables, but then I can't add the root user because of that option, what to do?
[09:51] <om26er> well well
[09:52] <MorphyNOR> deviad: I suggest you remove them manually then retry the method described above
[09:52] <om26er> puremichael, 64-bit ubuntu?
[09:52] <RSMITH16384> rules out my atom theory :)
[09:52] <puremichael> yep
[09:52] <Flannel> crankharder: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP#Set%20mysql%20root%20password  Set up a root user
[09:52] <MorphyNOR> deviad: I also suggest you back them up first of course
[09:52] <MorphyNOR> JIC...
[09:52] <vadi01> guys am trying o add this ppa to my software sources list http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v<IP_ADDRESS>/
[09:53] <digit11> hi
[09:53] <crankharder> Flannel: read my question, there's no root user to set a password for, just the debian sys maint user
[09:53] <om26er> vadi01, you can download the .deb file
[09:53] <vadi01> i cant find apt sources.list entries for it
[09:53] <digit11> i want to know how do i enable desktop effects in kde
[09:53] <om26er> digilink_, #kubuntu
[09:53] <digit11> i have ati mobiltiy radeon 4650hd
[09:54] <iceroot> crankharder: fresh installation of mysql (from the repos) on ubuntu?
[09:54] <crankharder> iceroot: yes
[09:55] <puremichael> om26er, with compiz the window moving is fine... but thet i get these terrible lags while minimizing/maximizing windows
[09:55] <iceroot> crankharder: so you get accesses denied for user root using password no if typing "mysql -u root"?
[09:55] <puremichael> youtube takes also 100% of one core
[09:55] <crankharder> yep
[09:55] <Flannel> crankharder: Which version of Ubuntu?
[09:56] <iceroot> crankharder: you are doing that on localhost? (not an ip-adress)
[09:56] <crankharder> there's only one record in the mysql.User table
[09:56] <crankharder> 9.10 server
[09:56] <crankharder> yep, localhost now
[09:56]  * om26er thinks latest kernel might support i7 better?
[09:56] <digit11> how do i enable desktop effects on kde.  i have ati radeon 46650hd
[09:56] <crankharder> just removed it, reinstalled it, it promoted for a root password that doesn't work
[09:57] <Reid> how do I find which HDD of mine isn't mounted..? I tried sudo mount /dev/sdb1 but this mounts my media drive, i need to access my old drive I just connected...
[09:57] <iceroot> crankharder: what password?
[09:57] <iceroot> crankharder: special chars?
[09:57] <iceroot> Reid: mount
[09:57] <crankharder> nothing complicated, letters and Es
[09:57] <crankharder> #s
[09:57] <iceroot> Reid: ah sorry "isnt"   use sudo fdisk -l
[09:58] <kylecarey> how do you delete a folder in console?
[09:58] <om26er> can i somehow install ubuntu on btrfs?
[09:58] <Reid> iceroot: -L or -1
[09:58] <iceroot> kylecarey: rm -rf foldername
[09:58] <iceroot> Reid: small L
[09:59] <iceroot> om26er: if the kernel supports it, yes
[09:59] <Reid> iceroot: great, it's not showing up, I'm only seeing two drives.. I have 3.
[10:00] <TheMustard> does that mean the old drive is dead?
[10:00] <phani> hi. I have hardy 8.04 installed on my machine. i had vmplayer2.5 version so I want to remove and install vmplayer 3 for that. But i don't have luck and getting many errors. Could you please give me some suggestions.
[10:00] <froes> hi my windows partition is always getting mounted on /media/03242384fsd78f6sd7 but can i make it mount always like /media/disk ????
[10:00] <iceroot> crankharder: but you said there is no user root, how to set a password then?
[10:00] <om26er> puremichael, you might want to try the latest kernel?

[10:01] <phani> could someone give me any suggestions
[10:01] <Reid> pretty easy stuff, I'm looking at it right now.
[10:01] <Some_Person> froes: edit /etc/fstab
[10:02] <iceroot> phani: did you delete something by hand before using apt-get remove?
[10:02] <phani> iceroot:Nope
[10:02] <phani> what ever i did i have pasted in the logs
[10:02] <froes> Some_Person, it had something before under properties that you could put it, i didnt want to change fstabs

[10:09] <iceroot> phani: was vmware 2.5 usable?
[10:09] <TheOnlyJoey> Good day
[10:10] <phani> it was usable till yesterday. After i tried installing vmplayer 3 it's not working any more.
[10:10] <TheOnlyJoey> Just a question, i am making a livecd with reconstructor and want to have a script run on first install, is there a easy way for dong that?

[10:15] <deviad> in my case nvidia-glx-195
[10:15] <deviad> I found it in a german forum...
[10:16] <deviad> I'm going to reboot
[10:17] <iceroot> phani: also "apt-cache policy vmware-player-2.5"
[10:17] <shazbotmcnasty> I can't boot into X for some reason.
[10:17] <shazbotmcnasty> The output is "Fatal error: No screen found"
[10:17] <shazbotmcnasty> there is indeed a screen
[10:17] <shazbotmcnasty> then it put me in bash
[10:17] <shazbotmcnasty> I'm using the same screen I was before
[10:17] <om26er> !enter | shazbotmcnasty

[10:18] <phani> iceroot: here is the log for apt-cache http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m3af08b20
[10:18] <shazbotmcnasty> sorry, I didn't mean to flood - it's just that everything is huge because I'm in irssi through bash and can't see all that much
[10:19] <iceroot> phani: what is gobuntu?
[10:19] <iceroot> puremichael: sorry goobuntu
[10:19] <DexterLB> iceroot: gobuntu is ubuntu with only open-source software
[10:20] <iceroot> vmware is open-source?
[10:21] <shazbotmcnasty> Does anyone know how to install a video driver through the command line? Because I've got nothin...
[10:21] <iceroot> shazbotmcnasty: what card?
[10:21] <shazbotmcnasty> I'm doing lshw in tty2 right now, I'll get it to you in just one sec.
[10:22] <shazbotmcnasty> I crud, how do I scroll up?
[10:22] <iceroot> shazbotmcnasty: just nvidia, ato, matox or something like that is enough
[10:22] <TruthLiker> Hello, anyone here ever got cvoicecontrol to work ?

[10:23] <iceroot> shazbotmcnasty: ok its doesnt matter to pull the trigger :)
[10:23] <iceroot> Real_Ubot: ask #freenode
[10:23] <shazbotmcnasty> iceroot: I don't get it...
[10:24] <shazbotmcnasty> linx is the command line based web browser right?
[10:24] <iceroot> shazbotmcnasty: what version of ubuntu?
[10:24] <shazbotmcnasty> 8.10
[10:24] <iceroot> shazbotmcnasty: lynx
[10:24] <simmaster> @shaz: lynx, with a y
[10:24] <shazbotmcnasty> kthx
[10:24] <shazbotmcnasty> this sucks
[10:24] <lwslws> shazbotmcnasty: alternately, 'links', which i prefer
[10:25] <shazbotmcnasty> lwslws: already started the lynx install
[10:25] <shazbotmcnasty> !nvidia
[10:25] <wowoto> texmaker

[10:26] <LucidPerry> Can anyone tell me what virtualization software is BEST for games (i.e. utilizes GPU power most efficiently)?
[10:26] <om26er> !best
[10:27] <om26er> LucidPerry, vmware
[10:27] <iceroot> LucidPerry: vbox can use it
[10:27] <LucidPerry> iceroot: I tried vbox, but it limited my video memory to 128MBs...
[10:27] <iceroot> LucidPerry: but because its not hard-virtualisation its not perfect
[10:27] <shazbotmcnasty> okay, trying that last command now...
[10:27] <simmaster> Tried VMWare?
[10:27] <LucidPerry> om26er: Does it allow you to use more memory than vbox D:
[10:27] <shazbotmcnasty> absolutely nothing happened
[10:27] <shazbotmcnasty> should I reboot?
[10:28] <iceroot> shazbotmcnasty: nothing?
[10:28] <om26er> LucidPerry, don't know that
[10:28] <LucidPerry> om26er: I shall investigate!
[10:28] <LucidPerry> om26er: Or something like that...
[10:28] <shazbotmcnasty> it said "starting Gnome display manager     [ok]"
[10:28] <shazbotmcnasty> and that's it
[10:28] <iceroot> shazbotmcnasty: press  ctrl + alt + f7"
[10:29] <iceroot> shazbotmcnasty: press  "ctrl + alt + f7"
[10:29] <shazbotmcnasty> didn't work
[10:29] <om26er> LucidPerry, ok confirmed  128with vmware too
[10:29] <shazbotmcnasty> it said restart GDM when it is reconfigured
[10:29] <LucidPerry> om26er: Damn. Then I'll use vbox. I prefer it....
[10:30] <iceroot> shazbotmcnasty: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[10:30] <_raven_> is possible to restart the x11 without closing every application by doing this?
[10:31] <grawity> _raven_: no
[10:31] <simmaster> _raven_: Not that I know of
[10:31] <shazbotmcnasty> iceroot: I did sudo killall gdm
[10:31] <iceroot> _raven_: on cli: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[10:31] <shazbotmcnasty> then sudo gdm
[10:31] <shazbotmcnasty> and it worked
[10:31] <shazbotmcnasty> thanks
[10:31] <FloodBot4> shazbotmcnasty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:31] <shazbotmcnasty> >_< sorry....
[10:31] <iceroot> _raven_: ah you mean you dont want to close them
[10:31] <iceroot> _raven_: i thought ou dont want to close them before by hand
[10:31] <bloodski> heya folks, i got a problem with my asus at3n7a-i m-iTX, i dont get any audio from the optical output, i've maxed out every level in alsamixer, but my receiver says "no digital data", any ideas?
[10:31] <iceroot> shazbotmcnasty: nice to hear
[10:32] <bloodski> im running ubuntu 9.04 btw
[10:32] <simmaster> bloodski: Did you install the proper drivers?
[10:32] <bloodski> analogue audio works
[10:32] <bloodski> so i assume that simmaster?
[10:32] <_raven_> iceroot, for example evolution: after [strg alt print k] i have to open it again - is possible to let the process running and only restarting the graphical things?
[10:32] <Evgeniy> !pastebin
[10:32] <Evgeniy> !pastebinit
[10:32] <simmaster> bloodski: I'll have to assume that as well
[10:33] <iceroot> _raven_: no
[10:33] <bloodski> it's built on the nvidia ion chipset simmaster
[10:33] <iceroot> _raven_: x-server is the parrent of evolution
[10:34] <simmaster> I might not be able to help you, bloodski. I'm mainly an openSUSE user. I'm just here to answer minor questions whenever I can.
[10:34] <_raven_> iceroot, i thought every process would run in "textmode" and the graphics are independent from that - not true?
[10:34] <Guest73833> All the best 73es !
[10:34] <Reid> I'm trying to mount a drive "sudo mount /dev/sdc /media/myolddrive" and it's saying "You must specify the filesystem type" what does this mean..?
[10:34] <bloodski> k simmaster
[10:34] <iceroot> _raven_: no
[10:34] <simmaster> Reid: sudo mount /dev/sdc /media/myolddrive -t [filesystem type]
[10:34] <iceroot> _raven_: x-server needs the control of the program
[10:34] <bloodski> does anyone else know how to get optical audio to work on an asus at3n7a-i mobo in ubuntu 9.04?
[10:34] <simmaster> I think the man page lists possible filesystem types
[10:34] <_raven_> iceroot disown helpful?
[10:35] <iceroot> _raven_: why you want restarting x?
[10:35] <Reid> simmaster: I don't know what filesystem to go with..? I have a win7 partition and ubuntu partition i need to pull info off of.
[10:35] <simmaster> Reid: You should have fuse-ntfs
[10:35] <grawity> _raven_: All X programs have a connection to the X server - if the server dies, connection breaks. Most of the time, the program quits.
[10:35] <Reid> simmaster: so I should do /media/myolddrive -t fuse-ntfs
[10:35] <_raven_> iceroot, because sometimes it crashes and falls back into the default mode (grey-white instead of 3d for example)
[10:36] <simmaster> Try -t ntfs
[10:36] <iceroot> _raven_: maybe its better to fix that instead of other things
[10:36] <simmaster> @Reid: You can find more info here: http://www.linuxconfig.org/How_to_mount_partition_with_ntfs_file_system_and_read_write_access
[10:37] <chiossif> Happy New Year to ALL
[10:37] <grawity> _raven_: What exactly crashes? The window manager? It can be restarted like any other program.
[10:37] <_raven_> iceroot, its not often but when it happens would be nice to keep the applications open - so its not possible?
[10:37] <simmaster> @chiossif: Happy new year to you too. *hug*
[10:37] <iceroot> _raven_: not possible
[10:38] <grawity> There's one X server. Everything else are clients connected to it, and they can be restarted separately.
[10:38] <chiossif> After an 9.10 install I get VISTA loader on sda2 and VISTA on sda3 is not accessible by grub. How to edit grub entry?
[10:38] <_raven_> grawity, i do not know how to explain - probably its the window manager because when x11 crashes i see only text mode any more right?
[10:38] <Reid> simmaster: http://pastebin.com/m179da1b
[10:38] <Reid> simmaster: getting error with that.
[10:39] <grawity> _raven_: so is it white-on-black text? You said it's something "grey-white"
[10:39] <simmaster> Reid: sudo mount /dev/sdc0 /media/myolddrive -t ntfs
[10:39] <_raven_> grawity, ok then its not the x11 but the window manager
[10:39] <simmaster> Mounting the partition should work. You're trying to mount the entire drive
[10:39] <b4lrog> hi everynone !
[10:40] <simmaster> Hello!
[10:40] <_raven_> grawity, how can i restart the window manager then i could tell you more
[10:40] <grawity> _raven_: Switch manually to a console (Ctrl-Alt-F2 would work). Login, then type: export DISPLAY=:0
[10:40] <grawity> _raven_: Then: metacity &
[10:41] <_raven_> grawity, will the console 1 still be open in the background?
[10:41] <grawity> _raven_: yes
[10:42] <_raven_> grawity, but graphics will run on two then?
[10:42] <grawity> _raven_: Ctrl-Alt-(F1, F2 ... F6) switch to text consoles. And "graphics" runs on the seventh - Ctrl-Alt-F7
[10:42] <usr13> grawity: Shouldn't it be DISPLAY=:0.0
[10:42] <Reid> simmaster: sorry I'm not catching on, I also tried sdc0 and no luck.
[10:42] <usr13> ?
[10:42] <stnv>  hello all. I have problem with my wireless detecting. I have wireless in my home and i had made it 'hidden'. Then i had searched for it and it was with ssid 'hidden'.  The real problem is that when i have returned it as not 'hidden' my Ubuntu still recognized him as hidden. So.. how can i clear that wrong cache about my home wireless?
[10:42] <Reid> I don't understand how to mount just the partitions individually.
[10:42] <_raven_> grawity, ok what is the command (display.....) for two displays?
[10:42] <grawity> usr13: I think that second number is only for when you have multiple monitors or something.
[10:43] <iceroot> Reid: mount /dev/sda1 /media/mymointpoint   if you want to mount sda1
[10:43] <usr13> grawity: Oh, so it probably works either way, (with single monotor)?
[10:43] <iceroot> Reid: with sudo of course
[10:43] <usr13> grawity: or with single video output?
[10:44] <simmaster> Sorry, try sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/myolddrive -t ntfs

[11:40] <Nicekiwi9> om26er: u couldent be a lil more helpful?
[11:41] <chilli0> ortsvorsteher, What is swap for
[11:42] <ePax> chili
[11:42] <BlouBlou> chilli0: swap is used by linux systems when system needs more memory ram, it uses hdd as ram
[11:42] <ortsvorsteher> chilli0, to page out a space for everey process which you start on your box. swap is needed if may memory is full. see !swap

[11:44] <ortsvorsteher> owen1_, you can add it by editing /etc/apt/sources.list

[11:48] <madPJKfan> is there an easy process?
[11:48] <owen1_> madPJKfan: not sure but congrats
[11:49] <om26er> madPJKfan, you have to do a clean install i think
[11:49] <madPJKfan> right - only just got it back working - there was a bit of an issue with a kernal upgrade - broke everyones wubi for a bit there
[11:49] <madPJKfan> now I want to dual boot proper...
[11:49] <baldaris> hi ihave virtual box , i have a few set up files which i want to copy to my extrenal harddrive....but in folder i do not see it..how can i copy the files..?
[11:50] <madPJKfan> having said that - what is the best way, say virtual box, to keep your old doze stuff going?
[11:50] <q35yqv45y> so... I have a lovely old barely working sony (500Mhz Pentium II onboard), with no CD or DVD drive, or floppy and it can't boot from usb...
[11:51] <inferno_daulXEON> buenos nochez ladies and dudes
[11:51] <q35yqv45y> I've had it running linux of several varieties for ohhh, 4-5 years... but now I dist-upgraded from 9.04 to 9.10 and it's broke! :-(

[11:53] <br0kenarr0w> what do i do?!
[11:53] <inferno_daulXEON> Bonster_: I like your msPaint style cicles
[11:54] <inferno_daulXEON> Bonster_: I don't get your problem though. You have display at the bottom but no background image?

[11:55] <Bonster_> inferno_daulXEON, yea is like seperate

[11:55] <oliver3> when issuing sudo aptitude unmarkauto cabextract... why is aptitude telling me it's about to uninstall cabextract for being marked as automatically installed and having no dependencies? -_-
[11:55] <madPJKfan> is there a good way to save your current doze setup for virtualization?
[11:55] <inferno_daulXEON> Bonster_: Hmm...Can you move windows down into that area or are they cut off
[11:55] <faileas> madPJKfan: on the contrary, you arn't being scared, you're prudent
[11:55] <faileas> madPJKfan: which package?
[11:55] <faileas> vmware has converter. No idea for virtualbox
[11:56] <madPJKfan> errr - virtualbox is the foss one, yeah?
[11:56] <madPJKfan> that's the go?
[11:56] <Bonster_> inferno_daulXEON, i can move it down, but it wont do much just more fuzzyness
[11:56] <br0kenarr0w> help, linux cant mount my root filesystem, but i can mount and fsck it from the livecd and it works fine, it asks for a root password or says press ctrl-d and ctrl-d just reboots the pc
[11:57] <q35yqv45y> br0kenarr0w - and if you type in your root password, what happens?
[11:57] <br0kenarr0w> q35yqv45y, i dont have a root password :(
[11:57] <q35yqv45y> br0kenarr0w - you're using Ubuntu right? This means that your user password is your root password... usually
[11:57] <br0kenarr0w> q35yqv45y, my user password doesnt work
[11:58] <iceroot> br0kenarr0w: use sudo
[11:58] <inferno_daulXEON> Bonster_:  Weird, sorry I havn't experienced that. I guess my first guess would be to try a different resolution and see if that fixes it. Otherwise there might be a new graphics card driver for you.
[11:58] <madPJKfan> can you su to root from administrator?
[11:58] <ecart> Quém tem um conky bem hacker? ou sabe onde encontar um modelo bem legal?
[11:58] <iceroot> br0kenarr0w: there is no user root with a password on ubuntu
[11:58] <Walex> br0kenarr0w: that can be because *another* filesystem is missing. Read carefully the reason why it is not going into multiuser mode.
[11:58] <ecart> Who has a good hacker conky? or know where to find any model really cool?
[11:58] <madPJKfan> ubuntu does things diff to the last time I used linux (about redhat 9)
[11:58] <inferno_daulXEON> Bonster_: Are you using an nVidia card?
[11:58] <br0kenarr0w> Walex, its a mount error, it cant mount /dev/sda3 because of a list of reasons
[11:58] <iceroot> madPJKfan: evry dist is doing something different
[11:59] <Bonster_> inferno_daulXEON, yea tryed all that, even poweroff
[11:59] <ecart> Who has a good hacker conky? or know where to find any model really cool?
[11:59] <Bonster_> inferno_daulXEON, yea nivdia
[11:59] <ecart> Who has a good hacker conky? or know where to find any model really cool?
[11:59] <madPJKfan> iceroot: yeah, and it's been years since I played with it.  Ubuntu surely is the shit, but I still like what OSX did with the filesystem... wish the linux's would do that
[12:00] <Scott1979> what does osx do with file system different to ubuntu madpjkfan
[12:00] <Scott1979> curious
[12:00] <madPJKfan> scott - hides all the 'weird' filenames (etc, var) into a 'system' file
[12:01] <inferno_daulXEON> Bonster_: nVidia keeps an FTP site up for beta linux drivers. Most of them are stable but not released because they can't test them on all flavors all the time. If you can't find anything else to try maybe that will work. But like I said I haven't run into this before im stabbing the dark with a 10 foot sword
[12:01] <Scott1979> what do u classify as wired names
[12:01] <Scott1979> mad
[12:01] <iceroot> madPJKfan: and what is good about that?
[12:01] <Scott1979> sorry weirs
[12:01] <madPJKfan> iceroot: seems tidier and less confusing/confronting to me
[12:01] <Scott1979> weird
[12:01] <ardchoille> !ot
[12:01] <Scott1979> mytyping up the wall
[12:02] <iceroot> madPJKfan: for you.. but not for the rest
[12:02] <Bonster_> inferno_daulXEON, yea im using the 190 stable
[12:02] <iceroot> madPJKfan: we want standard linux base
[12:02] <inferno_daulXEON> Bonster_: good luck. Kinda curious what the issue is myself
[12:02] <madPJKfan> iceroot: dunno.  When I look at it it seems odd.  There is not any particularly good reason, except history, to keep it.
[12:03] <Scott1979> yeah if im gunna use linux i dont want it looking like windows
[12:03] <inferno_daulXEON> Bonster_: if you figure it out can you pm me so i can sleep w/o thinking about it
[12:03] <dustman> hi
[12:03] <madPJKfan> Scott1979: diff folks, diff strokes
[12:03] <dustman> how to disable cpu frequency adjustment when AC power is on?
[12:03] <Scott1979> i fix windows machines all day long dont wanna come home to it also
[12:03] <Scott1979> yeah i understand mad
[12:03] <madPJKfan> ubuntu being the most user friendly, especially for newbies - I thought it woulda maybe done something like that
[12:04] <madPJKfan> apple got away with it, and it is still nix under the hood - didn't break anything
[12:04] <iceroot> madPJKfan: there is no reason for that
[12:04] <inferno_daulXEON> Scott1979: lol when are we not fixing windows machines. when we arent sitting in front of them?
[12:04] <Bonster_> inferno_daulXEON, guess ill try turning the drivers off and on, see if anything goes
[12:04] <Scott1979> i found the file system hard to work around myself in the beginning
[12:04] <Scott1979> but this is one way we stay saff from attacks rather then collaberate or sensitive folders all together
[12:04] <Scott1979> safe
[12:05] <Scott1979> gee im bad typing tonight

[12:07] <dustman> heard of irix, aix, solaris?
[12:07] <inferno_daulXEON> konraddo: What are you going to use your computer for?
[12:07] <Scott1979> multitasking multi users os
[12:07] <konraddo> browsing internet, watching movies, listening to music, etc...
[12:07] <dustman> Scott1979: check wiki
[12:07] <Guest1990> Does anyone know how to embed the terminal onto the desktop???
[12:07] <Scott1979> are these not direvitives of linux
[12:07] <Scott1979> dustman
[12:07] <petsounds> konraddo, swap isn't necessary.
[12:07] <inferno_daulXEON> konraddo: If you think you'll ever need more than 4gb then use swap. If not don't worry about it
[12:08] <Scott1979> opensource
[12:08] <Scott1979> dustman
[12:08] <dustman> Scott1979: opensolaris is
[12:08] <tos_> how can i get back to the install screen to install Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud
[12:08] <konraddo> ok thanks
[12:08] <Reid> every time i start vuze it crashes, <-- fresh install of vuze from synaptic.
[12:08] <Scott1979> you only pay for the support not the software dustman so all opensource os
[12:08] <dustman> plus there are bsds as well
[12:08] <Scott1979> not windows though
[12:09] <Scott1979> i am agreeing with u but u are being technical
[12:09] <inferno_daulXEON> I do simulations and CGRendering. I have 16gb of ram and 16gb of swap and use about half the swap sometimes
[12:09] <Guest1990> Does anyone know how to embed the terminal onto the desktop???
[12:09] <Scott1979> these operating systems are no where near obtainable for an average user
[12:09] <tos_> guest, google it, youll find something
[12:09] <dustman> which one?
[12:09] <Scott1979> opensolairs
[12:09] <Guest1990> Thanks
[12:09] <Scott1979> unix
[12:10] <kid> salus
[12:10] <Scott1979> the ones u said
[12:10] <dustman> unix is not that harder than linux
[12:10] <dustman> opensolaris is plain gnome
[12:10] <Scott1979> for someone like yourself maybe not
[12:10] <Scott1979> dont be technical about this
[12:10] <dustman> no difference from ubuntu
[12:10] <Nicekiwi9> ubuntu 9.10 has forgotten i have an audio device, help?
[12:10] <Scott1979> i mean install and go
[12:11] <Scott1979> u dont just install opensolaris and go
[12:11] <Scott1979> like fedora or ubuntu
[12:11] <dustman> desktopbsd/pcbsd <- plain freebsd with kde
[12:11] <Scott1979> yes there is a difference one is call unix
[12:11] <Scott1979> the other is ubuntu
[12:12] <petsounds> Scott1979, i think it's better to discuss on #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:12] <Scott1979> unix is for bussiness enterprise
[12:12] <Scott1979> same
[12:12] <inferno_daulXEON> WEIRD ISSUE - Fresh install of karmic desktop 64. Using ASRock mobo and included display card. On boot it gives me a pci error for the card and shows the text login. I wait about 5 minutes and then the login screen pops up. If I login during the text mode and startx the desktop comes up fine but after that wait, the login screen pops up and if i login then i have 2 instances of all the processes running.... WTF?
[12:12] <dustman> how to disable cpu frequency adjustment when AC power is on?
[12:12] <Scott1979> i need help configuring dual head in ubuntu
[12:12] <konraddo> btw i forgot.... i want to use virtualization, too.... so should i use SWAP, yes?
[12:13] <studentsumitkato> my name is sumit katoch
[12:13] <iceroot> konraddo: what virtualization?
[12:13] <konraddo> virtualize Windows XP
[12:13] <inferno_daulXEON> konraddo:  If you have a big hard drive I would just partition a gig or two for swap. you beeeee fiiiiiiineeeee
[12:13] <iceroot> konraddo: with what
[12:14] <konraddo> hmmm just sometimes test some applications....
[12:14] <iceroot> konraddo: or let it say me better, if not using xen or vmware esx, swap is a good idea
[12:14] <konraddo> okay :D
[12:14] <Scott1979> if u want to hibernate konraddo make it 3.8 gig
[12:15] <inferno_daulXEON> konraddo: I don't know if you can do it but maybe since youll be running 32windows with a 3gb limit, if you could do a 3gb swp and use the ram only for linux and the swap only for windows
[12:15] <Nicekiwi9> ubuntu 9.10 has forgotten i have an audio device, help?
[12:15] <iceroot> inferno_daulXEON: you dont want to use a hdd for RAM
[12:15] <inferno_daulXEON> Nicekiwi9: everyone has this problem. Im sure theres a googlz result by now
[12:15] <tos_> nicekiwi9, mine is doing that too... i think you need the non-free drivers for ur sound card
[12:16] <inferno_daulXEON> iceroot: I know i just though it would be cool. HDD is way slower
[12:16] <konraddo> Scott1979, i don't want to hibernate. inferno_daulXEON, nice, i didn't heard that it's possible to use SWAP as RAM for virtualized OS
[12:16] <_raven_> windowmanager crashes again and again - how to find out the error and how to solve?
[12:16] <ubuntu> hey guys, what is /dev/pts?
[12:16] <iceroot> inferno_daulXEON: 1000 times slower
[12:16] <selfimage> are there any staffers online here right now
[12:16] <inferno_daulXEON> konraddo: i dunno if you can do it. I was saying you should google it just for a slap and tickle
[12:17] <erUSUL> selfimage: channel ops or freenode staffers?
[12:17] <konraddo> kk
[12:17] <selfimage> freenode
[12:17] <konraddo> hmm anyway thanks :D
[12:17] <erUSUL> selfimage: ask in #freenode
[12:17] <selfimage> ok thanks
[12:17] <inferno_daulXEON> konraddo: buy more ram and use no swap thats my vote.
[12:17] <Nicekiwi9> tos_: it worked 10 hours ago
[12:17] <inferno_daulXEON> konraddo=P
[12:17] <Nicekiwi9> tos_: between wen i went to sleep and wen i woke up its forgotten the device exists
[12:18] <tos_> nicekiwi9, maybe it does that when you dont use it...
[12:18] <tos_> lol
[12:18] <tos_> i dont know why
[12:18] <tos_> in the same boat tho
[12:18] <Nicekiwi9> everyone has it? oh...
[12:18] <ubuntu> my computer cant boot up, it says it cant mount /dev/pts
[12:18] <ubuntu> and so mountall has failed with an error
[12:18] <br0kenarr0w> can anyone help?
[12:18] <Bonster> Swap is usually use for sleep mode and when ram is 100% in used
[12:19] <br0kenarr0w> what is /dev/pts for?
[12:20] <Nicekiwi9> inferno_daulXEON: the problem with googleing it is since its a new bug its im unlikly to get recent results in a google search
[12:21] <erUSUL> br0kenarr0w: for Pseudo-TerminalS iirc
[12:22] <br0kenarr0w> do you have any idea why ubuntu would fail to mount it?
[12:22] <inferno_daulXEON> Nicekiwi9: yea i know but i've seen atleast 10 people in the last 24 hours talking about karmic sound issues. Im just high and dont remember the fixes
[12:22] <erUSUL> br0kenarr0w: nope sorry; that the only error you get?
[12:22] <br0kenarr0w> i think so
[12:22] <br0kenarr0w> ehh my linux is broken, really wanna fix it
[12:23] <br0kenarr0w> ;(
[12:23] <efinitix> anybody here experienced in wget or curl?
[12:23] <inferno_daulXEON> br0kenarr0w: is it as broken as your arrow?
[12:23] <Nicekiwi9> inferno_daulXEON: fun...
[12:23] <br0kenarr0w> inferno_daulXEON, yup
[12:23] <inferno_daulXEON> br0kenarr0w: which part
[12:23] <g0tcha> hey guys, if i setup a VPN on my home ubuntu and i connect to some unsecure wireless hotspot when i travel then to my VPN thats at home, is everything i do online then is secure?
[12:23] <Bonster> try mounting it manually
[12:24] <br0kenarr0w> inferno_daulXEON, it says it cant mount /dev/pts and so the thing doenst boot up, it asks for a root password i dont have or lets me press ctrl-d to restart
 what you mean  'i travel then to my vpn' ?
[12:25] <inferno_daulXEON> can you boot from a livecd and chmod the directory?
[12:25] <Reid> having a display issue. I'm using Svideo (I have to.) and my screen is off center anyway to adjust from ubuntu side?
[12:25] <erUSUL> br0kenarr0w: does it say why it can not mount it?
[12:25] <br0kenarr0w> inferno_daulXEON, i am on a livecd
[12:25] <g0tcha> Hakunamatata, i mean if i travel and connect to my home VPN
[12:25] <Reid> bios shows up centered, but nothing else.
[12:25] <br0kenarr0w> erUSUL, the standard reason, bad superblock or ...
[12:25] <inferno_daulXEON> you cant sudo mount it?
[12:25] <br0kenarr0w> i have mounted it
[12:25] <br0kenarr0w> inferno_daulXEON, i should chmod /dev/pts ?
 and then what would you want ?
[12:26] <inferno_daulXEON> br0kenarr0w: Are you rooted on the livecd? or the drive?
[12:26] <luismanuel> Hi, I changed something in the internet settings and I could not connect to the web (I am using right now a pendrive to connect) What can i do to restore all the connection as it was before, i mean "automatically"
[12:26] <g0tcha> Hakunamatata, im asking, after i connect to my home VPN, is it safe for me to check my private emails and such without worrying from someone sniffing data from this public network?
[12:26] <erUSUL> br0kenarr0w: well that's really weird becouse /dev/pts is a "virtual filesystem" like proc or sys so how can the superblock be bad? maybe it fails to mount root first and then fails the other mounts becouse of that?
[12:27] <br0kenarr0w> inferno_daulXEON, uhm is /dev/ supposed to be empty?
 everything youll do its secure.
 you using ruter ? which mark ?
[12:27] <inferno_daulXEON> br0kenarr0w: it sounds to me like theres an issue with your install. is it a fresh one?
[12:27] <br0kenarr0w> erUSUL, maybe, but my root mounts fine under livecd
[12:27] <erUSUL> br0kenarr0w: in the livecd no; in the hard disk yes
[12:27] <br0kenarr0w> inferno_daulXEON, its not too old
[12:27] <g0tcha> Hakunamatata, at home? yes, a netgear router
[12:27] <erUSUL> br0kenarr0w: dev gets populated on but by udev
[12:27] <erUSUL> br0kenarr0w: see this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/insserv/+bug/321927
 if u connect to ur router with ur passwd and login, everything will be good :) and secure
 but if you want to connect to some unscure wirlles  then you could lost some information
[12:29] <br0kenarr0w> i recently fscked my filesystem inferno_daulXEON and it had a load of problems fix'ed... a few files were created in lost+found
 im now using netgear :) it has 4 type of secure its good :)
[12:29] <br0kenarr0w> inferno_daulXEON, is that possibly the cause of it?
[12:30] <erUSUL> br0kenarr0w: could be; maybe the conf of udev got screwed or some other config file ...
[12:30] <br0kenarr0w> inferno_daulXEON, some of them seem to be /prov and /dev symlinks
[12:30] <inferno_daulXEON> br0kenarr0w: ditto
[12:30] <nh2> I cannot start java without -Xmx on our server, I get: Error occurred during initialization of VM - Could not reserve enough space for object heap - Could not create the Java virtual machine. The happens even after a recompilation of openJDK. Any idea why?
[12:30] <br0kenarr0w> i donno how to fix it though
[12:30] <g0tcha> Hakunamatata, hmm youre confusing me.. i want to install the VPN on my ubuntu machine and not my router so i get to connect to my ubuntu VPN, so i dont get what your talking about when you say the router
[12:31] <inferno_daulXEON> I think it might be best to backup and reinstall at this point
 hehe you want to run wifi by ur machine
[12:31] <Hakunamatata> ?
 or you want to buy a router ?
[12:31] <madPJKfan> heya
[12:31] <g0tcha> Hakunamatata, no dude.. a public unsecure wifi when i travel out of the country
[12:31] <madPJKfan> is there a backup utility in the stock ubuntu install?
[12:31] <g0tcha> buy a router? heheh i dont think you get my question right =)
[12:32] <erUSUL> !backup
[12:32] <madPJKfan> erusul: cheers
[12:32] <br0kenarr0w> does anyone know how to access an encrypted filesystem? i donno how to mount my encrypted home directory
[12:32] <inferno_daulXEON> br0kenarr0w: Like someone said before, the issue with /dev is that the installer generates the files.
 so this is  unsecure  ! :)
[12:32] <inferno_daulXEON> br0kenarr0w: eeek...
[12:32] <br0kenarr0w> eek? :(
[12:33] <erUSUL> br0kenarr0w: it uses ecryptfs filesystem type; google would be able to tell you what switches to pass to mount
[12:33] <inferno_daulXEON> br0kenarr0w: ditto. I got nothing, consult with skynet..... i mean google
 of corse nobady want your database , but its not secure and i wont to use it,  never :)
[12:35] <dns53> inferno_daulXEON if not google, you want the ubuntu wiki page, it should be easy to find
[12:35] <inferno_daulXEON> dns53:  i dont want crap except a sandwich and a coffee. br0kenarr0w needs the info
[12:35] <g0tcha> Hakunamatata, other ppl in #networking just told me its safe and secure to do that
[12:36] <g0tcha> Hakunamatata, i think you didnt understand what i was asking correctly
[12:36] <erUSUL> br0kenarr0w: here http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7568/3/ <<< explains how to access the encrypted directory from livecd
[12:37] <erUSUL> br0kenarr0w: looks easier than i thought
 its safe but you dont know what will be with your data
[12:37] <gunther> Hello. I want to 'shred /dev/sd[driveletter]' in the background and want to redirect the output/progress into a logfile. 'shred -v -n10 -z /dev/sda 2>&1 1>> sda.log' seems not work. Any ideas?
[12:37] <g0tcha> Hakunamatata, hmm i dont get it, what do you mean?
 for example: you are in the pekin, and you turn on your vpn, and you connect to unsecure network
 you got me ?
[12:39] <gunther> 'man shred' shows no logfile-parameter and redirection does not seem to work. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
[12:39] <g0tcha> Hakunamatata, my vpn is already turned on from home.. i go to a "pekin" and connect to an unsecure wireless then connect to my vpn
[12:39] <domas> Hi! I can't find where 200MB of memory on a karmic system go: http://p.defau.lt/?cqtsf55qY_wJwGz9zYFodA - does the kernel love to leak?
 when stream will go along through unsecure network, you ll not secure
[12:41] <g0tcha> the idea is whats unsecure is the data going from the public network to the vpn, but then what goes from the vpn to the rest of the internet should be secured
[12:42] <RSMITH16384> hello, i need to know if my interfaces are gbit or not
[12:42] <g0tcha> thats the idea i have right now, or am i wrong? =/
[12:42] <RSMITH16384> via commandline
 you colud connect everywhere but bytes still goes along through the unsecure network. Of course anybody wnat to destroy your datas and compuier, but some people could use it UNSECURE fact
[12:42] <RSMITH16384> ifconfig wont say
[12:42] <domas> rsmith: miitool may say, sometimes
[12:43] <domas> rsmith16384: mii-tool that is
 maybe 90 prcnt ppl do it like u but its not secure. <- this  is the answer for ur first question :)(
[12:43] <g0tcha> how do i secure it then?
[12:44] <erUSUL> br0kenarr0w: managed to acess your data ?
[12:45] <crazybyte> Hello! Could somebody tell me where to set the default location in Network Manager that is used on connection change? Thank you!
[12:47] <Elling> i need some help. every time i play a fullscreen game trough Wine my computer shuts off my 2nd monitor. and when i exit the game my screenlets are all over the place.  any ideas?
[12:48] <vishnu> how to get the theme ooption in xubuntu
[12:48] <john_doe> after upgrading to 9.10 audio only works through sudo. Alsamodules are loaded fine, the permission of the devices are correct, and I'm in the audio group, and I can't tell the problem from the output of mplayer. How would you debug this.
[12:48] <john_doe> ?
[12:48] <howdeep> Hello. What is the command to list USB devices in terminal?
[12:48] <Smithy> In 9.10 can you change the sound at the startup when you turn your computer on Like 9.4 could
[12:49] <erUSUL> howdeep: lsusb
[12:49] <howdeep> thanks :) i forgot
[12:49] <vishnu> theme option in xubuntu?????
[12:49] <erUSUL> john_doe: can you post the exact mplayer error message ?
[12:49] <john_doe> Smithy: hmm, it's without graphics
[12:49] <om26er_> vishnu, #xubuntu might help
[12:49] <john_doe> erUSUL: sure
[12:49] <vishnu> what u mean #xubuntu?
[12:50] <nmvictor> if i have a device (GSM modem) mounted on /dev/ttyUSB1, how can i know which port number the device is using?
[12:50] <nmvictor> if i have a device (GSM modem) mounted on /dev/ttyUSB1, how can i know which port number the device is using?
[12:50] <vishnu> john i didnt get u?
[12:50] <madPJKfan> erUSUL: kewl, installed simplebackup, and am now dropping my whole /host onto my usb drive as a .tgz
[12:50] <erUSUL> nmvictor: which port? what type of port?
[12:50] <Smithy> ??
[12:50] <om26er_> vishnu, yes join #xubuntu
[12:51] <acp_> hi Im helping a friend making his wifi work on his notebook its a ralink rt3090 any link you can share?,tnx in advance.bytheway we have google it but it did not work
[12:52] <erUSUL> acp_: the driver comes with ubuntu afaics /lib/modules/2.6.31-17-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/rt3070/rt3070sta.ko
[12:52] <erUSUL> acp_: if you do « iwconfig » does a wlan0 appears ?
[12:52] <nmvictor> erUSUL: ok to get to what im looking for i'll just explain what im doing.
[12:53] <inferno_daulXEON> I got an error when installing vsftpd "update-rc.d : warning: vsftpd stop runlevel arguments (0 1 6) do not match LSB Default-Stop values (1)      What do I do to Fix this?
[12:53] <erUSUL> nmvictor: ok
[12:53] <itsnotstalker> anyone here know what eagle cad is?
[12:54] <erUSUL> itsnotstalker: an electronic desing tool ( EDA )
[12:54] <acp_> erUSUL, no only the eth and lo
[12:54] <itsnotstalker> the linux version of it just want me to , run its install script, i havent installed anything like that since windows i dont think, how hard will it be to get rid of it
[12:54] <erUSUL> acp_: sudo modprobe rt3070sta
[12:54] <erUSUL> acp_: then look again
[12:54] <itsnotstalker> erUSUL, yeah, its what i used for windows and there is a linux version
[12:54] <om26er> itsnotstalker, google might know what eagle cad is
[12:54] <john_doe> erUSUL: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d1ddc9277
[12:54] <erUSUL> itsnotstalker: warnings are not critical probably you can ignore it
[12:54] <itsnotstalker> om26er, i know what it is
[12:54] <acp_> erUSUL, ok will try thanks
[12:55] <om26er> itsnotstalker, sure you do
[12:55] <john_doe> erUSUL: notice that the pulse problem is when using sudo where the output is fine
[12:55] <itsnotstalker> erUSUL, is installing thing by running their script as root a good idea? i've usd respositories or souce since i got linux, i was just like wtf?
[12:56] <erUSUL> john_doe: have you checked that the audio is not muted in pulseaudio ?? silly but would be not the firs time
[12:56] <br0kenarr0w> why would i get "Error: Your kernel does not support filename encryption" when running ecryptfs-add-passphrase?
[12:56] <erUSUL> john_doe: right click on the volume icon
[12:56] <john_doe> erUSUL: no, I haven't
[12:56] <erUSUL> john_doe: open the volume manager and check all sliders too
[12:56] <john_doe> erUSUL: it must be a command line solution
[12:56] <erUSUL> john_doe: with mplayer playing that's it
[12:57] <erUSUL> itsnotstalker: a installer needs to be root.
[12:58] <Smithy> Does anyone know a how to On putting the terminal on the desktop? That works they dont seem to work for me???
[12:59] <Zteam> Hi
[12:59] <om26er> !hi | Zteam
[12:59] <Zteam> Anyone here who can help me to get torbutton working?
[12:59] <Zteam> :)
[12:59] <inferno_daulXEON> Smithy go to it from Appications and right click the icon and add to desktop
[12:59] <john_doe> erUSUL: I don't have a graphical interface. can I unmute pulseaudio from bash?
[12:59] <itsnotstalker> Zteam, is vadilia running?
[13:00] <itsnotstalker> vadalia*?
[13:00] <Smithy> Sorry I mean to Embed it on the Desktop?
[13:01] <inferno_daulXEON> Smithy: you mean like a widget?
[13:02] <paulus68> Smithy: did you try this one http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-create-a-transparent-terminal-in-ubuntu-desktop.html
[13:02] <Smithy> I think so.... I see some people's desktops and they have it just sitting there in no window or anything... Just looks like writting.
[13:02] <Zteam> itsnotstalker:No, it isn't
[13:02] <Zteam> but from what I know that is just the gui for tor??
[13:02] <inferno_daulXEON> Smithy:  Why don't you just use Yakuake - I <3 it
[13:03] <erUSUL> john_doe: try alsamixer
[13:03] <Smithy> Paulus68 I have used this one before.
[13:03] <Smithy> I maybe doing something worng i not sure
[13:03] <john_doe> erUSUL: alright. It surprises me that it's not installed. Is that weird to you too?
[13:03] <paulus68> Smithy: it is working for me like that
[13:03] <Smithy> inferno_daulXEON   is that the same thing.
[13:04] <erUSUL> john_doe: well dunno; i upgrade. maybe a clean install wont include it becouse pulseaudio
[13:04] <Zteam> itsnotstalker: No but from what I know that is just the gui for tor??
[13:04] <Smithy> paulus68 i will try again.  Thank's
[13:04] <paulus68> Smithy:  your welcome
[13:05] <Kasztan> ello all
[13:05] <inferno_daulXEON> Smithy: no but its really awesome. It scrolls down a terminal from the top bar like a dev-console in a video game. you can set it to whatever hotkeys you want. just make sure to have it autostart
[13:05] <grawity> Zteam: Vidalia is just the GUI, yes
[13:05] <inferno_daulXEON> Smithy: That way you can keep your pretty pics of boobies on your desktop
[13:05] <Zteam> grawity: Damn... I never get that torbutton to work
[13:05] <Smithy> inferno_daulXEON how do install that one.
[13:05] <john_doe> erUSUL: (I upgraded too). it's a usb card. it doesn't have any mixer elements so alsamixer doesn't start. I suppose it's a software layer I need to unmute. I thought that would be pulseaudio.
[13:06] <inferno_daulXEON> Smithy: sudo apt-get install yakuake
[13:06] <Smithy> inferno_daulXEON  thanks
[13:06] <grawity> Zteam: Do you have Tor itself running?
[13:06] <grawity> Zteam: The usual way to start it is by starting the Vidalia GUI
[13:07] <om26er> is there any indicator-applet xchat plugin?
[13:07] <inferno_daulXEON> smithy I have mine set to drop down for ctrl+f10. Try not to pick a hotkey thats already used by ubuntu or youll have to unbind it
[13:08] <Zteam> grawity: I don't know, how to check if it's running?
[13:08] <bearcy> In Keyboard options, I have made some changes that I don't know how to cancel out. Now I can't get the Numeric Keypad to work, and sometimes capital letters disappear, even if I use the CapsLock or Shift-keys. How can I mend this problem, other than installing Ubuntu 9.10 from scratch?
[13:08] <grawity> Zteam: Open Terminal, type 'pgrep -l tor'
[13:08] <john_doe> erUSUL: got it. pulseaudio used the wrong audio device. Changed it with pavucontrol
[13:08] <paulus68> Smithy: you can also take a look into this I know it has nothing to do with the terminal however you can get some need info out of this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=281865     example  http://img21.imageshack.us/i/desktopjg0.gif/
[13:09] <john_doe> erUSUL: thanks for helping me out!
[13:09] <erUSUL> john_doe: no problem
[13:09] <Zteam> grawity: I can not see it there
[13:10] <grawity> Zteam: Start Vidalia then, it'll start Tor automatically
[13:10] <Zteam> grawity: Shouldn't it have been setup automatically then I installed torbutton from synaptic
[13:11] <grawity> Zteam: Torbutton is just a button for toggling the proxy settings. The actual Tor program can be running in a different PC.
[13:11] <Zteam> grawity: okey, it couldn't startup tor...
[13:12] <Zteam> grawity: guess I don't have the right package installed
[13:12] <Arsin> Can someone help me install Songbird
[13:13] <grawity> Zteam: It's called "tor", and is available at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TOR
[13:14] <oCean_> Arsin: been here? http://www.getdeb.net/app/Songbird
[13:17] <palo> is there a method to install alle dev packages on the system of the packages allready installed ? and do so for the future automaticly ?
[13:17] <erUSUL> palo: no that i know of. maybe you could do a little script that does it though
[13:18] <andyl> hello
[13:18] <palo> :(
[13:18] <erUSUL> palo: but i fail to see the utility of doing it
[13:18] <palo> erUSUL, thx
[13:18] <palo> i want to compile something
[13:19] <palo> i need X11/...h
[13:19] <palo> and all that stuff
[13:19] <Chousuke> you should just install the dev packages that you need.
[13:19] <Zteam> grawity: now i have installed it, but then i run it vidalia says that tor exited unexpectlenty
[13:19] <JDahl> I have a US keyboard and I am trying to use SCIM to type Danish characters. I installed SCIM and I installed Danish under System->Administration->Language support,  but from SCIM I cannot choose Danish characters. Anyone configured something similar?
[13:19] <Arsin> oCean_: Sorry for the late reply, say it says it cannot find Songbird in the repos
[13:19] <Chousuke> JDahl: you shouldn't need SCIM to type danish :/
[13:20] <erUSUL> palo: install only what you need. if  what you want to compile is in the repositories and you enable deb-src repositories you can do « sudo apt-get build-dep packages »
[13:20] <palo> Chousuke, is there a method to do it pretty fast and automaticly ?
[13:20] <erUSUL> palo: that installs all build dependencies of the package
[13:20] <Chousuke> JDahl: can't you just change the keyboard layout from keyboard preferences somewhere?
[13:20] <Chousuke> palo: none that I can think of.
[13:20] <safruhani> JDahl: setxkbmap your_layout
[13:20] <JDahl> Chousuke, I want to to keep my US keyboard,  but be able to type Danish characters in emails etc
[13:20] <trix> Hi guys
[13:21] <torrmasta> Hot New Torrent site : http://Torrentpirates.org
[13:21] <oCean_> Arsin:  that's because it isn't. - my reply referred to an URL to install songbird.
[13:21] <Chousuke> JDahl: hmmh
[13:21] <oCean_> torrmasta: Please, do not advertise here!
[13:21] <JDahl> Chousuke, isn't this what scim is for? (although mainly for Asian languages)
[13:21] <erUSUL> !ops | torrmasta
[13:22] <Arsin> oCean : I know but then I get an error saying "Could not find package 'songbird'."
[13:22] <Chousuke> JDahl: well, yeah.
[13:22] <palo> Chousuke, erUSUL thx but it is so much i want to install i try install. i'll do my best
[13:22] <JDahl> Chousuke, perhaps SCIM is only for Asian characters - that's possible
[13:22] <palo> Chousuke, erUSUL thx
[13:22] <Chousuke> JDahl: I've never used SCIM for anything but Japanese so I don't know.
[13:22] <erUSUL> palo: whay are you compiling ? is not there precompiled binaries
[13:23] <erUSUL> ?
[13:23] <Chousuke> JDahl: It has modules for all kinds of languages, but I haven't noticed one for just changing your layout.
[13:23] <Zteam> [warning] Could not bind to <IP_ADDRESS>:9050: Address already in use. Is Tor already running? is what i get from vidalia
[13:23] <bearcy>  In Keyboard options, I have made some changes that I don't know how to cancel out. Now I can't get the Numeric Keypad to work, and sometimes capital letters disappear, even if I use the CapsLock or Shift-keys. How can I mend this problem, other than installing Ubuntu 9.10 from scratch?
[13:23] <Zteam> can somebody help me with that?
[13:23] <muellisoft> Zteam: looks like that, yeah.
[13:23] <palo> erUSUL, no there is no such thing like precompiled
[13:24] <erUSUL> palo: what are you compiling ?
[13:24] <palo> erUSUL, sxemacs
[13:24] <Muelli> Zteam: you might want to restart tor, i.e. /etc/init.d/tor restart. Or check, what's listening on that port using "netstat -tulpen" or lsof -i
[13:24] <erUSUL> !info xemacs
[13:24] <palo> erUSUL, rakarrack-0.3.0
[13:25] <palo> xemacs is too old
[13:25] <palo> i need new software
[13:25] <Chousuke> why xemacs?
[13:25] <Chousuke> why not just regular emacs?
[13:26] <dotdot> I launch fish after logging with bash, and it reuses the bash PATH. but I cannot alter it. Why?
[13:26] <andyl> can emacs run in the shell or is it a x windows gui app
[13:26] <grawity> andyl: Both.
[13:26] <andyl> ok
[13:27] <erUSUL> Chousuke: it is not even xemacs is a fork of xemacs!! oh well
[13:27] <grawity> dotdot: how are you trying to "alter" it? (Remember that a process can only change its own environment, other processes will be unaffected.)
[13:27] <erUSUL> andyl: has both modes
[13:27] <Nikow> Nie ma to jak vmware, na którym "Configuring" trwa ponad 2h ;]
[13:27] <OerHeks> Arsin install playdeb first
[13:27] <Zteam> Muelli: okey i just tried /etc/init.d/tor restart
[13:27] <Nikow> sorry
[13:27] <Bonster> morning world
[13:28] <ahnfelt> I have trouble getting lirc to get input from my mac mini remote
[13:28] <newport> morning!
[13:28] <dotdot> grawity, by using set in config.fish
[13:28] <Arsin> OerHeks: How do I go about doing that?
[13:28] <Zteam> Muelli: and got this as response:
[13:28] <erkan^> I have wroten a new Thread on Forum  :D
[13:28] <erkan^> hey OerHeks
[13:28] <OerHeks> Arsin look at http://www.playdeb.net/updates/Ubuntu/all#how_to_install
[13:28] <Zteam> Muelli: zteam@zteam-desktop:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/tor restart
[13:28] <Zteam> [sudo] password for zteam:
[13:28] <Zteam> Stopping tor daemon: tor.
[13:28] <Zteam> Raising maximum number of filedescriptors (ulimit -n) to 32768.

[13:28] <FloodBot4> Zteam: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:28] <nmvictor> ,erUSUL sorry for the delay, i set smpp(Short message peer to peer) simulator to port 2775, so my application binds to the simulator (which acts like an sms center[SMSC]) so now im setting up my modem with kannel to be the virtual SMSC, and in the configuration, i have to specify the port number to which the modem is connected to, so how do i know this port number?
[13:28] <Zteam> Jan 02 14:25:19.558 [notice] Tor v<IP_ADDRESS>. This is experimental software. Do not rely on it for strong anonymity. (Running on Linux x86_64)
[13:29] <ahnfelt> I've run dpk-reconfigure and selected Apple Mac mini USB IR Receiver
[13:29] <OerHeks> Arsin just add the repo in software sources and the key lin in Terminal, that's aall
[13:29] <andyl> whats are some good laptop brands that have good hardware support for ubuntu
[13:29] <alain_> hello, my problem is I can not install my Pinnacle PCTV 70e. I looked at several pages where they have succeeded but I am not able to make it work. Koalay karmic want to use to run the final card to use linux. thanks
[13:30] <Bonster> andyl, i guess a dell
[13:30] <ahnfelt> but irw shows nothing when pressing the buttons
[13:30] <erkan^> and compaq, Bonster?
[13:30] <grawity> Zteam: Now Tor should be working - just give it a few minutes to connect.
[13:30] <erUSUL> nmvictor: is a windows program ? in unix/linux serial ports are not used you used the serial device /dev/ttyUSB1 in your case or /dev/ttyS1 in a normal pc serial port
[13:30] <Bonster> erkan^, isnt compaq dead?
[13:30] <Smithy> I used this command sudo apt-get install yakuake          How do you uninstall
[13:30] <erkan^> no why?
[13:30] <erUSUL> nmvictor: so if in windows/DOS you would use COM1 in linux you use /dev/ttyS1
[13:30] <grawity> Smithy: Use 'remove'
[13:31] <Zteam> grawity: okey, but according to Vidalia Tor is off?
[13:31] <grawity> erUSUL: COM1 is ttyS0
[13:31] <BlouBlou> Smithy: sudo apt-get purge yakuake
[13:31] <Smithy> Thanks all
[13:31] <ahnfelt> when I cat the device, it shows output when the buttons are clicked
[13:31] <grawity> Zteam: Vidalia just is unable to communicate with it, but Tor itself is running
[13:31] <ahnfelt> what should I try next?
[13:32] <Arsin> OerHeks: I did that, same result. What program is supposed to open the files from getDeb
[13:32] <grawity> Arsin: gdebi for GUI, dpkg for Terminal.
[13:32] <Zteam> okey, but the torbutton isn't working either
[13:33] <Zteam> grawity: okey, but the torbutton isn't working either
[13:33] <Arsin> grawity: How do I find gdebi
[13:33] <nmvictor> ok this is kannel configuration, and for your info, kannel is only available in linux unless you port it to windows,should i link you to the documentation im following to configure this?maybe im talking of a different port
[13:34] <Bonster> Arsin, double click on deb file
[13:34] <grawity> Arsin: It should come with Ubuntu... just double-click the .deb package.
[13:34] <nmvictor> erUSUL: ok this is kannel configuration, and for your info, kannel is only available in linux unless you port it to windows,should i link you to the documentation im following to configure this?maybe im talking of a different port
[13:34] <ahnfelt> whoops, accidentally closed weechat (did anybody say anything to me?)
[13:34] <Milp> Hey guys, a dist-upgrade messed up half my server and SSHD broke, how would i go about diagnosing it now that my server is in repair mode?
[13:34] <taky_> :D
[13:34] <taky_> hey newbs
[13:34] <grawity> Milp: VPS or dedicated?
[13:34] <Milp> grawity: VPS
[13:35] <taky_> i just bought my first server!
[13:35] <Arsin> grawity: When I get it off getdeb a program is called 'apturl' which opens the Synaptics. I can't save the deb file it just wants to automatically launch
[13:35] <alabd> iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -d \! <IP_ADDRESS>/24 -j SNAT --to-source <IP_ADDRESS>  << has been used to share ppp0 internet from <IP_ADDRESS> to <IP_ADDRESS> but while <IP_ADDRESS> pings an address it gives > From <IP_ADDRESS> icmp_seq=59 Destination Host Unreachable
[13:35] <nastas> hi all
[13:35] <Bonster> Arsin, add the repository
[13:35] <taky> anyone good with servers specifically? want to know if i made a decent purchase on my first piece of racked hardware
[13:36] <mka> hi nastas
[13:36] <erkan^> Bonster, which videocard have you?
[13:36] <Arsin> Bonster: I believe I have, how can I make sure?
[13:36] <Zteam> grawity: I think I give up, this thing won't work
[13:36] <grawity> Zteam: When you enable Torbutton and try to open a page, what do you get?
[13:36] <Arsin> Bonster:  sudo wget -q -O- http://archive.getdeb.net/getdeb-archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
[13:37] <Arsin> Bonster: The line after that just said OK
[13:37] <grawity> Arsin: you added only the key, not the repository itself
[13:37] <Bonster> erkan^, 7600GT nvidia
[13:37] <Bonster> Arsin, thats only the key
[13:37] <Arsin> grawity: I went into the System-Administration-Software Sources, Third-Party Software  and put it there too
[13:37] <erkan^> ok, i have intel GMA 4500MHD, that doens't work on the ubuntu :S
[13:38] <Guest47268> hi
[13:38] <Zteam> grawity: it just tells me it failed the previous time I tried to use it, and ask me if I want to contiune, if go to whatismyip.com i have my normal ip-adress
[13:38] <Bonster> Arsin, copy the deb http line
[13:39] <Milp> I checked the kern.log of my broken server now and it says a lot of "Cannot find map file. No module symbols loaded -  kernel modules not enabled" What does this mean and how would i go about fixing this?
[13:39] <Bonster> into software sources
[13:39] <Arsin> Bonster:  deb http://archive.getdeb.net/ubuntu karmic-getdeb games
[13:39] <Arsin> Bonster: I did
[13:39] <Bonster> Arsin, do an update?
[13:39] <Zteam> grawity: If I run a test it fails, and it tells me to check my proxy settings
[13:40] <ghostknife> I thought Karmic's grub will be silent, accessible with a shift key? Mine displays an ugly black/white list of images to boot?
[13:41] <Milp> Can soomeone please help me with this kernel map file missing? How would i go about fixing this and where should this mapfile be located on my ubuntu?
[13:41] <Arsin> Bonster: It is updated says Update Manager
[13:42] <Bonster> Arsin, then now just open synaptic and find the games u want, u dont need getdeb.net
[13:42] <Arsin> Bonster: Songbird still doesn't appear
[13:43] <grawity> Arsin: Tried clicking "Refresh"?
[13:43] <Bonster> Arsin, which verison u using?
[13:44] <Milp> Ok uuh, is it true that the system.map file for my kernel is supposed to be in /boot/ ?
[13:44] <erkan^> I think that COmpaq don't work good :(
[13:44] <reduz7> hi guys! help! i installed 9.10 and can't log in! i always get an "ubuntu is running in low graphics mode" and can't figure out how to get out from those screens!
[13:44] <erkan^> black screen, reduz7?
[13:44] <reduz7> erkan^, yes
[13:44] <erkan^> me same problem
[13:44] <clrg> reduz7: Recently installed a graphics driver?
[13:45] <erkan^> which videocard have you?
[13:45] <reduz7> clrg, installed the nvidia one
[13:45] <clrg> reduz7: Did it work before you installed the nvidia driver? Then we found the problem
[13:45] <Bonster> reduz7, which driver u install and which card u got
[13:46] <reduz7> clrg, it didn't either, but at least i could go back to console
[13:46] <OerHeks> Arsin i tries also, but i found out direct download will do 32bit/64bit > http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-songbird-1-4-1-in-ubuntu.html
[13:46] <reduz7> clgr now if i go to console i got black screen
[13:46] <reduz7> Bonster, nvidia gf8600
[13:47] <Zteam> grawity: any clue?
[13:47] <reduz7> also ubuntu doesn't allow me to change driver in those screens
[13:47] <_THEGOD> is it possible to load grub from syslinux ?
[13:47] <clrg> reduz7: Did you modfify anything of the default installation except the driver that could be relevant to the problem?
[13:47] <erkan^> what is grub?
[13:48] <reduz7> clrg, no
[13:48] <clrg> erkan: That's the boot loader
[13:48] <reduz7> glrg also i get "failure restoring default configuration" if i want to use default graphics option
[13:48] <reduz7> glrg so there's not much i can do, can't log in at all
[13:48] <reduz7> ah maybe i could ssh
[13:48] <reduz7> but i don't know the IP
[13:49] <_THEGOD> erkan grldr
[13:49] <erkan^> ok. I don't understand why did a display for my laptop blank when i go install/demo :S. hmdi connect on my laptop and a televison work very good :s
[13:49] <clrg> reduz7: You can probably log in to tty1-6.. Try pressing ctrl+alt+f1. Do you see a termial promt?
[13:49] <reduz7> clrg blank screen if i do that
[13:49] <erkan^> did you try with a hdmi too, reduz7?
[13:49] <clrg> reduz7: Try pressing enter
[13:50] <_THEGOD> anyone knows how to attach grldr to syslinux ?
[13:50] <reduz7> clrg, tried pressing enter a few times but it's still blank, also i can't even go back to F7 so i assume it crashed
[13:50] <clrg> reduz7: Yeah, looks that way.. Do you see the login screen after reboot, or is it just blank?
[13:50] <Bonster> reduz7, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[13:51] <Milp> Hey guys, a dist-upgrade messed up half my server and SSHD broke, how would i go about diagnosing it now that my server is in repair mode and i can access it via SSH again?
[13:51] <reduz7> Bonster, i'd do that if i had a shell :)
[13:51] <guntbert> reduz7: try <alt> left, or <alt> right (several times)
[13:51] <reduz7> Bonster, i can't even go to a shell
[13:51] <Zteam> reduz7: try booting up from a liveCD then?
[13:51] <clrg> Bonster: The problem is the graphics driver, not X11
[13:51] <reduz7> ok will try, thanks!
[13:51] <Arsin> OerHeks: Thanks
[13:51] <grawity> Milp: If you have access to the console - try upgrading again.
[13:51] <OerHeks> Arsin i had to remove gstreamer bad plugin, before it works
[13:51] <OerHeks> have fun
[13:51] <Milp> grawity i have access to the console but the old server is only mounted as a Folder, so i can only modify data and now run commands
[13:52] <Milp> *not
[13:52] <Bonster> reduz7, use recovery mode in the grub option?
[13:52] <clrg> Milp: Depends on what runlevel you are, try pinging your machine
[13:52] <grawity> Milp: chroot to it?
[13:52] <Milp> grawity what is that?
[13:52] <grawity> A command.
[13:53] <reduz7> ok i got to the livecd, what do i do from there? :)
[13:53] <guntbert> !chroot | Milp
[13:53] <Milp> thanks guntbert
[13:53] <Zteam> Milp: chroot let you run commands from the CD that modifies your ubuntu-partition instead of the CD
[13:53] <clrg> reduz7: Does the graphical environment work with the live cd?
[13:53] <Milp> so i would just hit chroot NEWROOT /repair/ and id be in my old distribution?
[13:53] <c3l> is there no plug-in or mod or w/e to be able to manage backgrounds for different displays in gnome? (..similar result as in kde..)
[13:54] <Zteam> Milp: Yeah but you have to mount it first
[13:54] <reduz7> clrg, yeah
[13:54] <reduz7> ah i figured out the IP and shelled in
[13:54] <Milp> Zteam the folder is already mounted :)
[13:54] <guntbert> Milp: if you mounted your old distri in /repair - yes
[13:54] <Milp> guntbert yep i did, awesome
[13:55] <clrg> c3l: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/93/
[13:55] <c3l> clrg, thx
[13:55] <Zteam> Milp: Don't think it will work with graphical programs thought
[13:55] <guntbert> Milp: you can leave that chroot environment with <ctrl> d
[13:55] <clrg> reduz7: Good. All you need to do is remove the buggy driver and go back to the working on you used before.
[13:56] <NamVet> does the ubuntu install check the old hard drive for errors?
[13:56] <Milp> Zteam yeah its a console only server
[13:56] <Zteam> Milp: okey :-)
[13:56] <SwedeMike> NamVet: generally not.
[13:56] <Milp> Is there an apt-get function to repair my distribution or anything?
[13:56] <Milp> like to check and fix everything
[13:56] <clrg> NamVet: Boot the live cd, fire up a terminal, fdisk -l to see your partitions, then fsck to check the FS
[13:57] <Zteam> Milp: sudo aptitude install -f
[13:57] <NamVet> SwedeMike a suggestion on what to use to prepare the drive for Ubuntu install?
[13:57] <mbruins> Milp: apt-get update && apt-get upgrade?
[13:57] <reduz7> clrg, it's probably not the driver's fault but ubuntu that doesn't know what to do when connected through a KVM switch
[13:57] <SwedeMike> NamVet: not really, do you suspect the drive to be faulty?
[13:57] <Milp> Zteam aptitude is not available on the repair container
[13:57] <Zteam> Milp: that will try to fix package problems
[13:57] <NamVet> clrg: thank you good bye all happy new year
[13:58] <Milp> Zteam wait ill just install it, thanks
[13:58] <Zteam> Milp: okey, just try sudo apt-get install -f
[13:58] <Zteam> Milp: instead
[13:58] <clrg> reduz7: Do you connect to the KVM switch using VGA?
[13:58] <clrg> reduz7: You might need to adapt your /etc/X11/xorg.conf for the external KVM monitor
[13:59] <Milp> Zteam aptitude is crashes due to SIGABRT :/
[13:59] <Milp> however apt-get does nothing with the -f parameter
[13:59] <reduz7> clgr: ah.. i just found a modeline so i'm going to try that out
[13:59] <Zteam> Milp: that means it can't find any errors in the package system
[14:00] <clrg> Milp: Does apt-get check report missing dependencies?
[14:00] <Milp> clrg says something about building dependency tree
[14:00] <clrg> Milp: And that's all there is? Then your dependencies are met..
[14:01] <guntbert> Milp: I seem to remember - for apt... to work you have to mount several systems (like /proc...) into the chroot - but I forgot the exact commands
[14:01] <Milp> hmm ok, my kern.log also says something about a missing map file, could that be causing errors?
[14:01] <Milp> or should i just run do-release-upgrade again and upgrade to yet another dist.?
[14:02] <Zteam> Milp: which dist are you using?
[14:02] <Milp> 2.6.18-028stab062.3
[14:02] <clrg> guntbert: You need /dev and /proc.. I guess there's an article about it, I'll search for it
[14:02] <Milp> thats what uname -r tells me, im not quite sure what to make out of this
[14:02] <Snausages> Hi, I recently created a second user account on my 9.10 laptop.  Now the suspend/power saving behavior is completely different from what I have specified in power settings.  How do I reset them so that they actually work?
[14:02] <Zteam> Milp: which ubuntu relase?
[14:03] <reduz7> clgr: worked perfectly now! though i'm a little scared of what could have happened if i didn't have a shell..  i'm not sure why ubuntu can't switch to a VESA display in case of failure
[14:03] <Zteam> Milp: release*
[14:03] <Milp> jaunty
[14:03] <Zteam> Milp: why not upgrade to karmic?
[14:04] <clrg> guntbert: http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted_ssh_howto_debian
[14:04] <Milp> Zteam i am in the progress of updating, but the updates somehow failed and now my server is completely wrecked
[14:04] <Zteam> Milp: let it update again
[14:04] <Milp> Zteam thats why im in the repair mode now, cant even access it through the net anymore
[14:05] <Zteam> Milp: hopefully it will work
[14:05] <Milp> Zteam hm that sounds like a plan, but thats what i did before already
[14:05] <clrg> reduz7: I believe you can tell X11 to do just that, but I'm no expert on X.. I'm glad it worked
[14:05] <Milp> Zteam i started with the last LTS release of ubuntu and upgraded till jaunty and it only got worse lol
[14:05] <reduz7> clrg, heh actually it didn't completely work.. i have a virtual screen larger than the res
[14:06] <VCoolio> in bash, how do I call 'all arguments except the first'? The first is $1
[14:06] <Milp> Zteam hm do-release-upgrade crashes with Errno12 Cannot allocate memory
[14:06] <Zteam> Milp: update one step too then, otherwise you can try to boot with an older kernel
[14:06] <Milp> Zteam how do i boot an older kernel when i cant access the machine while booting? Is there a config line or something i can change?
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> the grub configs define the default kernel to use. Milp
[14:07] <Zteam> Milp: yes use, sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst and comment out your latest kernel
[14:07] <clrg> reduz7: There's a GUI tool to manage the resolution.. Easier to use than xorg.conf. You should find it in System > Preferences > Display
[14:08] <Milp> Thanks guys :D
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> VCoolio:  isent that  $2-  or somthing like that. Check the abs guide.
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> !abs | VCoolio
[14:08] <Federeor> Do you guys know of any article on how wubi works ??
[14:08] <Federeor> I am really curious
[14:08] <behappy> Hello its possible to make connection remote descktop  from my ubuntu to windows 7 in othe pc in same network ?
[14:08] <Zteam> Milp: but I really don't understand why you upgraded from a LTS to janty??
[14:08] <Milp> Zteam Dr_Willis ok something is definately wrong, the whole boot folder is empty
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> behappy:  vnc will let you get 'remote desktops's On windos.
[14:09] <Milp> Zteam because the newest mumble server wouldnt run on the old LTS version
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> Milp:  you dont have  a seperate /boot/ partition that may not be mounted?
[14:09] <behappy> Dr_Willis: how to install it ?
[14:09] <Federeor> 1wubi
[14:09] <Federeor> !wubi
[14:09] <Milp> Dr_Willis how do i check?
[14:09] <Dr_Willis> behappy:  theres dozens of vnc cliwent/servers for windows.  gnome on ubuntu has a vnc fweather as well. or you can install a seperate vnc server for ubuntu
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> Milp:  sudo fdisk -l, and mount, and explore the filesystems  I guess. :) its odd that /boot/ is empty. but  ive seen some disrtos/peopel set up a /boot/ partition thats not mounted . but that can really goof up grub updates
[14:11] <behappy> Dr_Willis: but this will be done over internet so I need domain or whatever then the connection will be slow ?
[14:11] <Milp> Dr_Willis it says that it cant open /proc/partitions :/
[14:11] <clrg> Milp: Are you root?
[14:11] <Dr_Willis> behappy:  over the internet  - You would want to  'ssh tunnle' the vnc connection, or use freenx, or some sort of VPN.
[14:12] <wowoto> Milp: sudo -i
[14:12] <Milp> Dr_Willis i should probably mention that im still in the mounted repair folder
[14:12] <Milp> wowoto clrg Did that, still doesnt work
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> Milp:  You are in a chrooted enviroment?
[14:12] <Milp> Dr_Willis yes
[14:12] <clrg> Milp: Did you mount /proc ?
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> try the commands in a non chroot shell. sounds like uyou dident mount /proc/ and the other stuff properly befor chrooting
[14:12] <DVA5912> why is it when i upload files to my own servers, via ftp, they automaticaly have no permissions im using vsftpd for my service
[14:12] <Milp> clrg i only mounted the main folder
[14:13] <Milp> clrg how would i go about mounting all the rest that needs to be mounted? :/
[14:13] <br0kenarr0w> why does the installer take so much time to create an ext4 fs?
[14:13] <clrg> Milp: Your chroot env needs /dev and /proc in order to work properly
[14:13] <jcc1> I recently upgraded to 9.10, but due to many probs from too many upgrades, re-loaded from scratch. After both the upgrade and scratch install I have a prob w/login notifier/system notifier, i.e. no text, just a black box w/4 dotted lines. Anybody else seen this? I searched for solutions but found none.
[14:13] <clrg> Milp: http://www.howtoforge.com/chrooted_ssh_howto_debian
[14:14] <Milp> thanks man
[14:14] <clrg> Milp: Just ignore the ssh part. The article should explain how to create a chroot environment
[14:14] <Milp> clrg im on ssh anyways :)
[14:14] <Milp> clrg do i need to close my existing chroot stuff first? CTRL-C right?
[14:14] <clrg> Milp: Exit is the proper way
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> mount -o bind /dev /location/of/mountpoint/dev
[14:15] <mickster54> i have a usb speakerphone device from panasonic, but dunno how to get it working, it doesnt work by default:/
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> http://cutecomputer.wordpress.com/2007/01/07/howto-dev-file-system-in-chroot-ed-environment/
[14:15] <reduz7> clrg, seems i can't do anything with the gui tool, and for a reson i don't understand my vertical resolution is larger than the monitor so it scrolls up and down
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> Milp:  i always end up double checking the old gentoo install docs. They basically do the 'switch over totally to the chrooted system' for their install. :)
[14:16] <Milp> Dr_Willis what do you mean? I am a little confused right now
[14:16] <reduz7> clgr though the screen resolution is correct
[14:17] <Milp> Dr_Willis i think totally chrooting in to that folder-mounted machine is exactly what i want to do, i just dont quite know how, and the tutorial tells me something about downloading and installing stuff
[14:17] <Dr_Willis> Milp:  you need to set up the proc and dev - Befor you chroot.
[14:17] <Milp> Dr_Willis how do i do that?
[14:17] <clrg> reduz7: Curious. Please execute "cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit"
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> Milp:  somthing similer to what is said in  code listing 2.16 of this (yes i knos its gentoo docs) --> http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> livecd / # mount -t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
[14:18] <Dr_Willis> livecd / # mount -o bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
[14:18] <reduz7> clrg oh i fixed it... it was some strange bug it seems, i just removed some of the smaller resolutions like 800x600 and now it works from xorg.conf
[14:19] <clrg> Dr_Willis: Exactly. Those are the commands I was searching for =)
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> Milp:  otherwise when you chroot in. the /proc and /dev will be incorrect
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> clrg:  gentoo is so usefull.. for examples. :)
[14:19] <klown> clrg, never seen that pastebin command before.  thank you.
[14:19] <br0kenarr0w> lol i dont get linux ;)
[14:19] <Federeor> Do you guys know of any article on how wubi works ??
[14:19] <Federeor> A link will help ?
[14:19] <Dr_Willis> Milp:  also /boot needs to be mounted to its proper place also if its on its own partition
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> !wubi | Federeor
[14:20] <clrg> klown: You're welcome. Keep in mind you need to install pastebinit first
[14:20] <Dr_Willis> Ive been seeing more and more disrots use a wubi-type setup to install inside windows.. scary stuff
[14:20] <reduz7> ok now i have another question. I start empathy for the first time and all it does is asking me for a password of a default keyring to unlock. I have no idea what is that!
[14:20] <alain_> hello, my problem is I can not install my Pinnacle PCTV 70e. I looked at several pages where they have succeeded but I am not able to make it work. Koalay karmic want to use to run the final card to use linux. thanks
[14:20] <Federeor> Dr_Willis : No how it works , the link you posted doesn't have that . I even tried googling but coudn't find anything useful
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> reduz7:  its making a password for your default keyring to store all your passwords.
[14:21] <Milp> Dr_Willis ok umm is mount -t proc proc /repair/proc the correct Command to mount proc? And mount -o bind /dev /repair/dev for the dev folder?
[14:21] <clrg> reduz7: Its name tells you what it does: Its a keyring.
[14:21] <reduz7> Dr_Willis, well wathever i enter on that text box it isn't happy
[14:21] <Dr_Willis> Federeor:  thats the extent of my wubi knowledge. I avoide wubi like its the plauge.
[14:21] <reduz7> clrg, i know what a keyring is, but wathever i enter in the textbox, empathy isn't happy with and asks again
[14:21] <Snausages> gah, this is getting to be nasty.  Every time I attempt to switch users or connect AC power, or disconnect AC power, my laptop suspends itself.  This is new behavior which started concurrently with creating a 2nd user account.  Can anyone help?
[14:21] <klown> guess the password isnt correct :P
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> reduz7:  you may have set a password for your keyring at one timne. and dont rember what it was.
[14:22] <Dr_Willis> !resetkeyring
[14:22] <reduz7> Dr_Willis, it's a clean install so i don't think so
[14:22] <clrg> Federeor: I'm sure there's a developer forum
[14:22] <br0kenarr0w> if i have an encrypted home directory on one drive, and reinstall linux and create a user with the same password, can i copy the old home folder over to the new and read my ecrypted data?
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> reduz7:  no idea then.  I got a video on how to reset the keyring passowrd at --> http://drop.io/dr_willis
[14:23] <g0tcha> hey guys, is it possible to change the pptpd server port from 1723 to a different port?
[14:23] <Dr_Willis> reduz7:  i always set my keyring password to be empty. So i never see programs asking for it.
[14:23] <jcc1> Has anyone else seen the problem with a blank notifier window on 9.10 fresh install?
[14:23] <Milp> Dr_Willis are there commands to check if i mounted proc and dev right? And then how would i mount boot?
[14:23] <Federeor> Dr_Willis , clrg : I am not using wubi ,  but I just wanted to take part in a discussion on wubi but I have no idea how it works and I not really interested to dissect the program lol
[14:24] <reduz7> Dr_Willis, thanks! I don't really know what is going on with 9.10 but i don't even rememver having so many problems with a clean install of an ubuntu version so far :(
[14:24] <Snausages> jcc1: I saw some weird notifier windows from mine when I first started.  I turned off a lot of notifications and it hasn't been a problem since then.
[14:25] <jcc1> The particular window that's causing me probs is on initial login and bat status on laptop, there have been others, but since there is no text I have no clue what they are
[14:25] <shane_> ???
[14:25] <hakunama1ata> execouse me
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> Milp:  same as you mount any other filesystem   mount /dev/whatever /boot after you chroot in.
[14:26] <jcc1> I saw one article that said it was because Lucida fonts are no longer installed. I oinstalled them but no help
[14:26] <Milp> Dr_Willis uuh what is /dev/whatever in this case then? I dont quite understand
[14:26] <Snausages> jcc1: mine would show some scrambled graphics, and I heard the same complaint from other users.  I never actually set out to fix this...  I don't like notification systems in general so I was mostly just trying to cut down the noise and traffic on screen...  but whatever I did, the faulty notifications stopped when I did it.
[14:27] <jcc1> OK with me, but I've never even looked at notifier system, where do I find the setup for this?
[14:27] <Snausages> heh, trying to remember where I found the settings
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> Milp:  thats what 'sudo fdisk -l' will show you. You need to learn how your system is partioned and what filesystems are where.
[14:28] <jcc1> i briefly looked one afternoon a few days ago, but I'm clueless on this
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> Milp:  if you dont understand the basics of mounting a filesystem. then its time to learn soem more linux basics befor trying anything more complex.
[14:28] <Dr_Willis> !mount
[14:28] <jcc1> I couldn't figure out where...
[14:29] <alain_> hello, my problem is I can not install my Pinnacle PCTV 70e. I looked at several pages where they have succeeded but I am not able to make it work. Koalay karmic want to use to run the final card to use linux. thanks
[14:29] <Milp> Dr_Willis Hm i see, is there a way to check if i mounted proc and dev correctly?
[14:31] <g0tcha> any idea on how to change the port on a pptp server from 1723 to something else?
[14:32] <porki> what is the role and skills of server administrator ? how to become a server administrator ?
[14:33] <jcc1> porki, google the SAG (Systems Administrator Guide) for starters, linux oriented and a little out of date but a good general overview of responsibilities
[14:34] <alain_> hello, my problem is I can not install my Pinnacle PCTV 70e. I looked at several pages where they have succeeded but I am not able to make it work. Koalay karmic want to use to run the final card to use linux. thanks
[14:35] <jcc1> porki, http://tldp.org/LDP/sag/html/index.html
[14:35] <porki> jcc1 , what are the minimum skills required for becoming server admin?
[14:35] <bazhang> alain_, do you have a link to those pages; also what steps have you taken and what errors have you gotten; paste.ubuntu.com with the errors you have received
[14:35] <bazhang> porki, that is offtopic for here; #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[14:36] <Dr_Willis> Milp:  when you chroot in see whats in /proc and /dev
[14:37] <g0tcha> does ubuntu have a firewall installed by default that might block port 1723?
[14:37] <g0tcha> ubuntu 9.04
[14:38] <erUSUL> g0tcha: no; no firewall is *enabled* by default
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  thers are no default firewall rules to block anuything
[14:38] <Dr_Willis> g0tcha:  check with sudo iptables -L (or was it --list)  to see all rules
[14:38] <macman_> hey all question .. i have 5 pdf's right they are on my desktop .. when i drag them to my external hdd they turn funky looking and   ican't open them .. i try to open it says permission denied .. what could that be .. another thing i can read/write to the external hdd that is saying permission denied
[14:38] <lunixx> I need some advice for how to dualboot Vista and Ubuntu9.10. OSes are installed on different physical harddrives.
[14:39] <g0tcha> Dr_Willis, it comes out empty with nothing listed
[14:39] <napster> lunixx, Seems I can help you
[14:39] <lunixx> napster  :) great
[14:39] <g0tcha> Dr_Willis, i guess my isp is blocking port 1723 then because i portforward it to my ubuntu and still shows as blocked
[14:39] <mka> macman_, can you open your pdf's when they are in desktop?
[14:40] <g0tcha> can the pptp server port be changed by any chance?
[14:40] <napster> !ask | lunixx
[14:40] <macman_> yes mka
[14:40] <urthmover> lunixx: I don't know much but I believe that you should be manipulating your menu.lst file to point at different devices/partitions
[14:40] <g0tcha> cant find much in google about that subject
[14:40] <urthmover> menu.lst is part of the grub configuration
[14:40] <TangentCollision> how do I get the repository for powwow?
[14:40] <mka> macman_, are you coping them with terminal or with nautilus?
[14:41] <macman_> nautilus mka
[14:41] <mickster54> i have a panasonic kx-ts710ex which breaks pulse when i plug it in...can anyone help me?
[14:41] <jcc1> for dual boot, here is a good place to start  http://apcmag.com/how_to_dualboot_vista_with_linux_vista_installed_first.htm
[14:42] <jcc1> they also have an article linked there with linux installed first
[14:42] <mka> macman_, what type of filesystem are you having on your external drive?
[14:42] <macman_> ntfs mka
[14:43] <mka> macman_, can you confirm that the md5sum is the same for the pdf's in desktop and the ones in external drive. also check the permissions of the files in the external drive
[14:45] <Trizicus> When I insert my external hard drive and unmount it is there a command in gnome to remount w/o physically plugging in the drive again (no I am not referring to mount)
[14:46] <erUSUL> Trizicus: gnome-mount /dev/whatever ? worked in hal days. not sure it it does anymore in karmic
[14:47] <pasjr> hal is in 9.10 but removed in 10.04
[14:47] <Trizicus> erUSUL: What mounts the device automatically when I plug it in?
[14:47] <erUSUL> Trizicus: in karmic maybe is better. « devkit-disks --mount /dev/whatever »
[14:48] <pasjr> any lucid gurus in here?
[14:48] <erUSUL> Trizicus: never tried it though
[14:48] <|Slacker|> pasjr, what's gonna replace hal?
[14:48] <erUSUL> !lucid | pasjr
[14:48] <Trizicus> erUSUL: gnome-mount -d /dev/whatever works
[14:48] <erUSUL> Trizicus: ok; good to know ;)
[14:48] <Trizicus> erUSUL: Thanks btw
[14:49] <blackshell> is menu.lst file missing in 9.10?
[14:49] <Trizicus> And yea what is replacing hal
[14:49] <pasjr> nothing they just did away with it, I am currently looking into excatly how tthey did that
[14:49] <erUSUL> !grub2 | blackshell
[14:49] <VCoolio> Dr_Willis: to call all arguments except the first: ${*:2}  <-- calls all starting with $2
[14:49] <erUSUL> pasjr: udev and devicekit
[14:49] <blackshell> thats not a answer to my question
[14:49] <pasjr> I know Ubuntu+1 is for lucid, however no one on there at this time
[14:49] <yassine> how do i access grub's interactive shell at boot time ?
[14:49] <Trizicus> is grub2 out of beta yet?
[14:50] <qu4nt> blackshell : there is no menu.lst in 9.10 any longer because that was a part of grub and in 9.10 standard is grub2
[14:50] <erUSUL> blackshell: it is; grub2 used in karmic does not use menu.lst. read the docs to know how to tweak it
[14:50] <mka> blackshell, yes it's no longer used
[14:50] <blackshell> so how do i edit the booting operation?
[14:50] <pasjr> access grub via esc as soon as you see the word grub
[14:50] <erUSUL> blackshell: read the docs
[14:50] <leee> hi,everyone
[14:50] <mka> blackshell, good luck, my friend
[14:50] <yassine> Trizicus, its out
[14:50] <mka> hey, leee
[14:51] <pasjr> ect/defaults/grub
[14:51] <lunixx> jccl  thanks,, but I hav OSes on two different harddrives and I think that the reason why grub doesnt find vista is because of the crappy Vista bootloader?  When I select Vista harddrive to boot up first in bios, vista boots nicely,   when I select ubuntu9.10 to boot first, grub displays the boot list and it finds XP-pro harddrive, another Linux harddrive but the \harddrive vith Vista dont show up. Editing this file is supposed to fix it, i think,
[14:51] <Trizicus> yassine: Does Ubuntu use the latest and greatest?
[14:51] <leee> can somebody tell me how to use Pan
[14:51] <yassine> Trizicus,  yes
[14:51] <pasjr> 9.10 - 10.04 you use /ect/default/grub to mod your boot
[14:51] <e01> hello, i have a problem with UNR 9.10, i have installed mac4lin , then removed it, but it replace the contact list icons on my pidgin
[14:52] <leee> how to use pan
[14:52] <e01> i was trying to reinstall pidgin, but mac icons still exists and can't change them
[14:52] <yassine> pasjr, i need to access the shell now i have a screwed kernel configured need to select a working one
[14:52] <Trizicus> yassine: I'm looking and it says 1.97 beta 4
[14:52] <erUSUL> leee: configure it (add news server). subscribe to some newgroups, profit
[14:53] <leee> ok,I 'm trying now
[14:53] <pasjr> as soon as you boot at the grub word hit esc and you will be givein the grub menu
[14:53] <reduz> hey guys
[14:53] <reduz> my pulseaudio is doing gibberish every time i play something just when it opens a stream
[14:53] <reduz> any idea why?
[14:53] <jcc1> there is a boot grup windows howto on tldp, I believe you have to do something along the lines od copying the boot sector on the windows drive and using that. I haven't done this in quite sometime, but did have this setup with XP. It seems to me I found the needed info at tldp.org
[14:53] <reduz> this is fresh installed ubuntu
[14:53] <pasjr> or you can boot from live cd and rebuild your kernel that way
[14:54] <mka> reduz, what about alsa?
[14:54] <Milp> Hm does anyone know where ubuntu stores the network configurations?
[14:54] <yassine> Trizicus, sorry miss understood your question was thinking that ubuntu is using a stable 2.0 which is not the case
[14:54] <technoviking> the ucf us off by default in UBunru Desktop correct?
[14:54] <leee> please tell me some usenet servers
[14:54] <reduz> mka, i don't know, last time i disabled pulseaudio i was left with no sound at all forever and with no chance of fixing it, so i don't want to try
[14:54] <Trizicus> yassine: Yea so it is still not stable; are there plans to make it stable?
[14:54] <reduz> even if i reenabled pulseuadio, i lost sound
[14:55] <yassine> pasjr, even pressing esc does not get me into the shell i have an usb keyboard maybe that is the reason?
[14:55] <mka> reduz, ok. good luck then.
[14:55] <pasjr> could be, try the live cd and you can access your hard drive and rebulid kernel that way
[14:55] <reduz> mka, yeah. i don't even know why pulseaudio exists in the first place, but nothing to do about it :(
[14:56] <mka> reduz, I don't know anything about disabling pulseaudio, i thought you could select alsa over pulseaudio
[14:56] <Exetubin> i need help with removing the black borders in my PS3 Karmic
[14:56] <yassine> Trizicus, certainly the only thing i can say now is that the configuration process is now a pain and everything else but user friendly
[14:56] <reduz> mka, as far as i know you can't as pulseaudio routes anything alsa to it
[14:56] <Exetubin> i need help with removing the black borders in my PS3 Karmic
[14:56] <reduz> mka, you have to uninstall it for it to stop working
