[17:14] <sipior> j_ayen_green: don't be daft. i think you're clever enough to recognise when you are speaking to someone new.
[17:14] <A|i3N> Hey guys, looking for kinda an all in one DVD copier that will convert a double layer disk down to size to fit on a regular DVD. Something like windows CloneDVD 2
[17:14] <terry> Gyndawyr: but just depends on your needs.
[17:14] <sipior> j_ayen_green: in any event: did halting dropbox fix your problem?
[17:14] <Pudabudigada> mamece2, Yes it does.
[17:14] <Dr_Willis> Gyndawyr:  / is called the 'root' partition.. thats the lowest level of the whole filesystem.
[17:14] <Pudabudigada> mamece2, I have it.
[17:15] <mamece2> ok ill try again
[17:15] <terry> Gyndawyr: / is for programs.  The root directory
[17:15] <Pudabudigada> mamece2, What happened?
[17:15] <Roasted_> dajhorn, you still out there
[17:15] <terry> Gyndawyr: but for simplicity you can just have to  swap and /
[17:15] <LjL> mamece2: err, wine doesn't run on maverick...?
[17:15] <Dr_Willis> Gyndawyr:  if you dont understand the differnt partitoons. you prioberly can get by with a / a /home and a swap [artition.
[17:15] <j_ayen_green> sipior: :) new yes...but which line they came in on, not.  It solved the waiting for it to shut down problem...dont' know yet if it created another or if it's going to shut down ok
[17:15] <DJones> A|i3N: You could have a look at DeVeDe, I've only ever used it to convert video files to DVD, but it has an option to fit them to a dvd so it may be able to convert a dual layer disk to single later
[17:15] <Gyndawyr> ??? what do I need three partitions for?
[17:15] <JackyBoy> Wine on Maverick: http://www.multimediaboom.com/install-wine-1-3-13-in-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-ppa/
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> Gyndawyr:  /home/ makes it easier to backup/restore later.
[17:16] <Gyndawyr> that would exceed the 4-partition limit of "primary"
[17:16] <terry> Gyndawyr: You don't need 3.  You can do fine with just 2.   / and swap
[17:16] <Gyndawyr> I'd rather just go with "/" and "swap"
[17:16] <Dr_Willis> Gyndawyr:  3 is less then 4....   do what you want...
[17:16] <A|i3N> oh ok cool I saw that one, we'll try it. Thanks DJones
[17:16] <Roasted_> having /home split makes things MUCH nicer
[17:16] <terry> Gyndawyr: That will be fine.  just /  and swap
[17:16] <Roasted_> I wouldnt run linux without split partitions.
[17:16] <Gyndawyr> 3 is less than 4, unless I include the NTFS partition which is already on there
[17:16] <bastidrazor> Dr_Willis: your math skills are impressive
[17:16] <DJones> A|i3N: I don't know whether it will extract the video though, so it may not be suitable for that
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> Gyndawyr:  theres no real need to make the linux partions primaries..
[17:17] <sipior> Roasted_: it is good practise, indeed.
[17:17] <Gyndawyr> whatever, / and swap I should use -_-
[17:17] <Dr_Willis> Gyndawyr:  thats is the layout the default installer uses.. / and swap...
[17:17] <Roasted_> sipior, you were asking me about the bashrc thing earlier, right
[17:17] <sipior> Roasted_: was i?
[17:17] <Roasted_> sipior, well, helping me at least.
[17:17] <Roasted_> sipior, I think?
[17:18] <sipior> Roasted_: probably, i forget. was this about setting the prompt?
[17:18] <Roasted_> sipior, anyway, I just logged on to another ubuntu system, totally different from before, and I have the $ path there too in terminal, so something changed at the domain level.
[17:18] <Roasted_> sipior, yes.
[17:18] <A|i3N> OK Question though - in order to install this software, it wants me to remove FFMpeg Video Postprocessing library and FFMPeg video scaling library. I've got libdvdcss2 and Ubuntu restricted extras installed, so is this going to mess anything up as far as breaking copy protection?
[17:18] <Roasted_> sipior, its only my account tho, but I find it odd its not just this computer or a setting on it.
[17:18] <A|i3N> or do I even need FFMpeg
[17:18] <Dr_Willis> A|i3N:  ffmpeg is used by apps to do video conversion from one type to others..
[17:18] <sipior> Roasted_: you don't share a home directory across these two machines?
[17:19] <Dr_Willis> A|i3N:  what progral is wanting to remove ffmpeg?
[17:19] <DJones> A|i3N: You could also look at k9Copy as well, that looks like a better solution
[17:19] <A|i3N> DeVeDe is
[17:19] <terry> Gyndawyr: Just make a swap partition (about size of RAM) and then the one other / partition for the rest of the space you've set asside for Linux and you'll be good to go.
[17:19] <TingTongTux> what is channel for mozilla firefox?
[17:19] <DJones> A|i3N: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/K9Copy
[17:19] <Roasted_> sipior, no, both of these machines are fresh installs of 10.04.2 that I added to the windows domain.
[17:19] <Gyndawyr> cheers guys. I've done that :)
[17:19] <Roasted_> sipior, I just fired up this laptop and logged in as myself and bingo - still got the $ in terminal.
[17:20] <oneseventeen> wanting to build a dedicated MySQL server, any issues with going Ubuntu server 64-bit?
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> A|i3N:  devede uses ffmpeg last i looked.. Ive installed devede befor and dont recall it ever wanting to remove any ffmpeg stuff.
[17:20] <waxrose> TingTongTux, #firefox
[17:20] <A|i3N> I'm guessing a DVD9 disk is a double layer, so I guess that one will work for me :)
[17:20] <Josef_B> hi all .. there a way to control ubuntu from a mac ?
[17:20] <karlo94> anybody know some lite torrent client ?
[17:20] <sipior> Roasted_: and how are you setting the prompt in .bashrc?
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> k9copy can do all sorts of things A|i3N  not just double layer stuff.
[17:20] <DJones> A|i3N: That says "To copy a normal DVD and shrink it down to 4.7Gb" etc, so sounds ideal for what you want
[17:20] <Roasted_> sipior, I'm not.
[17:20] <TingTongTux> thanx waxrose
[17:20] <Dr_Willis> karlo94:  dozens of them.. rtorrent is a fave.
[17:20] <Lint> so many wannabe pirates here
[17:20] <Roasted_> sipior, I ran a command, gvfs-mount smb://blah.blah.blah and it changed me to a $ on the desktop
[17:20] <A|i3N> Cool thanks guys! Getting it now
[17:20] <ruan> karlo94: there are lots of torrent clients for ubuntu. check ubuntu software center
[17:21] <Roasted_> sipior, then I couldnt set it back. I had no clue how to reverse it. On a hunch I went on this laptop and blam, its there too.
[17:21] <Lint> and noone to help me my real problem
[17:21] <waxrose> TingTongTux, You are welcome.
[17:21] <Roasted_> sipior, so clearly something changed at the domain level, and I'm curious on what. These are the things I need to be aware of if we're going to put linux in the classroom.
[17:21] <karlo94> Dr_Willis, is somewhere manual for that, I tryed to use it but I do not know how to do things ^^
[17:21] <Dr_Willis> karlo94:  manual for what?
[17:22] <karlo94> Dr_Willis, rtorrent
[17:22] <sipior> Roasted_: does "df" show your samba share?
[17:22] <Lint> am I being ignored or waht?
[17:22] <Dr_Willis> karlo94: start with its homepage and manpage.
[17:22] <Roasted_> sipior, no, just root, dev, dev/shm, /var/run, /var/lock/, and /lib/init/rw
[17:23] <Dr_Willis> Lint:  i never even noticed you ask an actual question..
[17:23] <sipior> Roasted_: and "gvfs-mount -l"?

[17:25] <ikonia> Roasted_: I'm not interested
[17:25] <Roasted_> ikonia, just wanted to make you aware that it clearly has nothing to do with bashrc after all.
[17:25] <Roasted_> ikonia, you know, in case anyone else asks. ;)
[17:25] <ikonia> Roasted_: not interested

[17:25] <luckybunny> I tried installing it, but it seems to dislike my kernel
[17:26] <Roasted_> sipior, not stirring anything up.
[17:26] <luckybunny> and the install failed
[17:26] <Roasted_> sipior, just trying to help out here for the sake of other users.
[17:26] <sipior> uh huh.

[17:27] <ruan> luckybunny: why don't you use the properitary drivers?
[17:27] <sipior> Roasted_: not sure what you mean by "at the domain level". the shell sets its prompt from an environmental variable. can you try starting a shell with "bash -l"?
[17:27] <luckybunny> ruan: that's what I got
[17:27] <willitfloat> Ratzinger: not in Australia and so on.
[17:28] <luckybunny> I got it straight from NVIDIA
[17:28] <ruan> luckybunny: what about the ones in System > Administration > Additional drivers?
[17:28] <luckybunny> ruan: nothing there at all
[17:28] <ruan> luckybunny: hmm ok
[17:29] <Roasted_> sipior, if I do that, it lists my_name@computername:~$

[17:35] <Lint> it was I
[17:35] <oCean> VonGuard: calm down, don't start that language here
[17:35] <sipior> Roasted_: at this point, the "INVOCATION" section of the bash man page is helpful. do you have the files /etc/bash.bashrc or $HOME/.bashrc?
[17:35] <VonGuard> sorry
[17:36] <nictrasavios> Dose anyone , perhaps know how to upgrade a distrobution without the terminal command for it?
[17:36] <ruan> VonGuard: have you checked in the System menu?
[17:36] <VonGuard> yeah
[17:36] <Dr_Willis> Im on a Ubuntu+lubuntu+kubuntu system. so i got 100+ icons in my perferances menu. :)

[17:36] <VonGuard> i tried wicd many times
[17:36] <VonGuard> it's no better or worse
[17:37] <Roasted_> does wicd even have active support anymore?
[17:37] <VonGuard> it was fine before i updated, just want to go back to that
[17:37] <Lint> omg it was 200ms, who ever came with this value by default?
[17:37] <Roasted_> last I heard they had like two part time weekend coders that didn't even seem interested in the project...

[17:37] <VonGuard> wicd is not the solution
[17:37] <Dr_Willis> Lint:  cant say that ive notuiced 200ms being a problem..

[17:38] <KnitGal> hi all . . . last friday I ran apt-get on my ubuntu server (which is runnng 10.0.4) to update it to the latest version.  i walked away at a crucial moment, and came back to find a strange process
[17:38] <VonGuard> the little curved lines that represent my wireless connectivity
[17:38] <ruan> !grub2
[17:38] <nictrasavios> I fixed that today :D
[17:38] <ubuntu__> cool!
[17:38] <VonGuard> it's no longer in my menu bar, and i cant seem to get it back
[17:38] <Roasted_> sipior, I didnt intentionally set PS1 at any point in time. Am I to look for a PS1 entry somewhere?
[17:39] <sipior> Roasted_: yes.
[17:39] <nictrasavios> Lemme guess, you cant boot into your Ubuntu anymore? It just goes right to windows?
[17:39] <willitfloat> VonGuard: reboot?
[17:39] <ruan> ubuntu__: check the RestoreGrub link
[17:39] <VonGuard> just did willitfloat
[17:39] <KnitGal> that i have no idea what it is.  this process has been running for 2 days now.  it looks something like this:  [3373344.199144] [UFWBlock] IN=eth0 out= MAC=  blah blah blah LEN=1048   i notice that the numeral sequence at the beginning seems to be incrementing.  any idea what this is?
[17:39] <VonGuard> will try again
[17:39] <VonGuard> the reboot is what made it go away
[17:39] <galamar> im having problems with the web pages refresh rate for my linux pc. i would think that it should load pages as fast as the windows laptops that my friends have. (i use google chrome because mozilla is very slow)
[17:39] <ruan> KnitGal: looks like UFW
[17:39] <OshiroX> Does anyone have a good list for host file?

[17:40] <KnitGal> what is UFW?
[17:40] <terry> VonGuard: pastebinit /etc/network/interfaces
[17:40] <Pumpkin-> KnitGal: ufw is the "uncomplicated firewalL". It looks like firewall logs to me.
[17:40] <KnitGal> oh .  .

[17:40] <KnitGal> so how do i stop this?

[17:40] <gaurav_help> is there any way to read code inside exe files
[17:40] <VonGuard> terry: my interfaces are fine
[17:41] <nictrasavios> Anyway, would a kind person like to help me with my upgrading problem?
[17:41] <sipior> Roasted_: if you haven't modified those, let's assume they're the same as on my system.
[17:41] <VonGuard> terry: it's just the menu that is gone. i cannot sign onto a wireless network without that ddrop down menu
[17:41] <oCean> gaurav_help: we don't have exe files in Linux
[17:41] <ruan> gaurav_help: it depends
[17:41] <VonGuard> hey wow!
[17:41] <VonGuard> rebooting worked willitfloat
[17:41] <VonGuard> thanks everyone!
[17:41] <sipior> Roasted_: so that PS1 should be set in /etc/bash.bashrc, and invoked in an interactive shell that is not a login shell.
[17:41] <VonGuard> had no idea ubuntu behavede like a mac
[17:41] <willitfloat> VonGuard: cheers :)
[17:41] <Roasted_> sipior, I personally havent modified it, but Im not sure if anything did in the background.
[17:41] <gaurav_help> ruan, can u help me
[17:41] <sipior> Roasted_: when you issued that gvfs-volume command, where did that filesystem get mounted?
[17:41] <ruan> gaurav_help: exes usually contain compiled code though
[17:42] <hihihi100> how can I create an icon access to a command opened with mono? Im talking about mono OpenBve.exe
[17:42] <Lint> gaurav_help, x86dis?
[17:42] <Roasted_> sipior, it was to a network resource. I saw a link on the desktop (and nautilus) with a link to smb://fileserver/users
[17:42] <arand> nictrasavios: If you look in the software sources preferences in software centre, is it set to update to regular or LTS release only?
[17:42] <Roasted_> sipior, but the full command was like
[17:42] <Roasted_> sipior, gvfs-mount smb://fileserver/users/$()
[17:42] <nictrasavios> arand: Ill check, give me a second :)
[17:42] <sipior> Roasted_: one quick way to solve the problem should be to make gnome-terminal start every shell as a login shell.
[17:42] <gaurav_help> Lint, what is this is
[17:43] <terry> VonGuard:  I don't know why wicd didn't work for  you.  I've installed it on my 10.04 system and it works great. Very simple and straight forward. You may have an IP conflict on your network. You should look  to see if there is a conflict.
[17:43] <Roasted_> sipior, as I was trying to set a wildcard for it to detect my user and auto link me. I was testing this to get domain users to auto link to their folder share automatically.
[17:43] <Lint> gaurav_help, disassembler
[17:43] <gaurav_help> through this i read
[17:43] <willitfloat> terry: he left..
[17:43] <ruan> lol
[17:43] <KnitGal> okay, i used ctrl-c to stop it.  but it starts up again
[17:44] <KnitGal> what should i do to get this firewall process stopped?
[17:44] <nictrasavios> arand: that may have done it ! :) so i just run the dist-upgrade command
[17:44] <nictrasavios> am i correct?
[17:44] <weather_dude> Is it possible to change weather server in ubuntu?

[17:46] <Lint> I need to know how my default X keymap is set. Also I need keyboard editor. can someone help?
[17:46] <coz_> ninjah`,   did you open a terminal     alsamixer   to be sure nothing is turned down or muted ?
[17:46] <arand> nictrasavios: There is a do-release-upgrade/update iirc
[17:46] <Roasted_> sipior, any thoughts?
[17:46] <gaurav_help> karla, i can use this in linux is this decomlpe the exe files
[17:46] <weather_dude> From where Ubuntu gets weather info and how can I change the server?
[17:46] <arand> nictrasavios: :)
[17:46] <blag> i think gdm is crashing on me, because when i try to login, the screen goes black and it just resets back to gdm.  when i switch to a different tty with Ctrl+Alt+# and run startx, it all works just fine.  How do i figure out why gdm is crashing?
[17:47] <karla> gaurav_help, more like disassemble
[17:47] <nictrasavios> arand: Hmm, my system cannot get an exclusive lock even tho im not running anything else, i will try a reboot and then try again.
[17:47] <galamar> is there a better channel to ask this question in? ...  im having problems with the web pages refresh rate for my linux pc. i would think that it should load pages as fast as the windows laptops that my friends have. i use google chrome because mozilla is very slow
[17:47] <sipior> Roasted_: it's difficult to say without being able to inspect the machine directly. it would be interesting to see if other logins experienced the same problem.
[17:47] <arand> nictrasavios: close all things related to package management first
[17:47] <karla> gaurav_help, there's also a piece of software that operates on a slightly higher level, i forgot the name but its icon is like a small face from an old painting....
[17:47] <Roasted_> sipior, well the other login account I used didn't exhibit the problem, but Ia lso didn't run that darn command on it either.
[17:48] <karla> gaurav_help, if that helps...
[17:48] <sipior> Roasted_: do you have any entries in $HOME/.gvfs?
[17:48] <Jesdisciple> hi, I'm trying to debug a Web page that uses Flash, but apparently Firebug doesn't watch Flash's network activity. (I don't have access to the ActionScript, but I know it works.)
[17:48] <Roasted_> sipior, .gvfs is empty.
[17:48] <Jesdisciple> is there any tool that can watch all (HTTP) network activity and show me the messages for all traffic?
[17:49] <sipior> Roasted_: using ls -a?
[17:49] <willitfloat> galamar: well, first of all, if your computer is a relic then it will be slow..
[17:49] <blag> Jesdisciple: wireshark?
[17:49] <Roasted_> sipior, no, nautilus with hidden folders shown. sec Ill go into term and hceck
[17:49] <nictrasavios> Back :)
[17:49] <gaurav_help> karla, thanks for this
[17:49] <Jesdisciple> blag: earching
[17:49] <Jesdisciple> s^
[17:49] <Roasted_> sipior, just . and ..
[17:49] <nictrasavios> Well this is a fresh install, nothing to backup so here goes nothing.
[17:49] <sipior> Roasted_: also, does this behaviour survive a reboot?
[17:49] <cannonball> Every day, my clock object in the panel dies at 9:45 AM.  I click the button to reload and it appears.  Anybody ever seen anything like that?  Using the default 10.10 desktop, nvidia 8600GT with nvidia binary drivers.
[17:50] <Roasted_> sipior, yup. reboot, log out, different ubuntu machines on the domain, etc.
[17:50] <Roasted_> sipior, its STUCK to my account, from what I can see.
[17:50] <nibbler_> Jesdisciple, i had quiet good experience with http fox lately when mirroring a flash-heavy page
[17:50] <Green1> what is a turn-server???
[17:50] <Lint> I'm positively being ignored here, is thereother help channel which gives you answers and not treat you like 2nd rate junk becauise you're not in us domain?
[17:50] <galamar> willitfloat, its not that old. and not when compared to the laptops that refresh fine.
[17:50] <sipior> Roasted_: you're authenticating against a windows domain?
[17:50] <nictrasavios> Preparing >.< ohh.... Im shaky. Upgrades are always tense.
[17:51] <Roasted_> sipior, yes
[17:51] <nibbler_> Jesdisciple, it required a lot of hand work. if its too many urls that are getting GETed, use ngrep to sniff it directly and grep out the urls
[17:51] <blag> Lint: whats up?
[17:51] <sipior> Roasted_: i'm not terribly familiar with the breed, but have you checked to see what has changed in that entry?
[17:51] <nibbler_> Jesdisciple, or setup a proxy directly
[17:51] <joeb_> i didn't have to ssh .. chicken of the vnc found the remote desktop automatic
[17:51] <nictrasavios> Setting new software channels .... O.
[17:51] <nictrasavios> O.O*
[17:51] <deca> does virtual box uses usb port and com ports as normal ?
[17:51] <Jesdisciple> nibbler_: nah it's just one URL, and I see network activity on system monitor
[17:52] <nictrasavios> deca: you have to configure it to read from them, but yes.
[17:52] <Roasted_> sipior, what entry are you referring to?
[17:52] <Jesdisciple> but I'm having trouble verifying that it's getting to the server
[17:52] <Jesdisciple> and in what form
[17:52] <Jesdisciple> nibbler_: ^
[17:52] <fumanchu182> Where would i be able to find the location of the logrotate configuration file?
[17:52] <sipior> Roasted_: the directory entry corresponding to your login.
[17:52] <j_ayen_green> this is a kind of finger-pointing answer opportunity I guess (vbox/ubuntu/vista) but I am running ubuntu as a guest in vbox under vista, and have my vista My Documents directory as shared and mounted. The cli in ubuntu shows and can access all of it, but Places only shows a few subdirectories
[17:52] <deca> nictasavios :tx
[17:52] <weather_dude> How I can configure libgweather?
[17:52] <Lint> I need to know how to change my default keyboard options. the defaults are awful, I don't know anything about this and tired of running setxkbmap manually EACH login
[17:52] <galamar> willitfloat, i dont have any other problems with it like download speeds or programs running slow everything seems to be fine except the refresh rate most web pages?
[17:52] <Roasted_> sipior, I'm not sure I follow. are you referring to the network resource I tried to link to when this all happened?
[17:53] <deca> i am installing vista on virtual box right now
[17:53] <sipior> Roasted_: i'm referring to the account information which is currently stored in the windows domain controller.
[17:53] <nictrasavios> Getting New Packages O.O.....   Look near the bottom of the manual page.
[17:54] <sipior> Roasted_: it should know something about the location of your home directory, for example.
[17:54] <fumanchu182> cannonball, i was just in there didn't notice anything, will look again
[17:54] <nictrasavios> Oh nevermind... 51 minutes.... Wait wait... Hour and 20... Wait WAIT 33..... Lmao? Back where i started.
[17:54] <willitfloat> galamar: might be something with the proprietary videodrivers, if that's what you use? however, i know nothing about them, so i cant help further.
[17:54] <fumanchu182> cannonball, got it
[17:54] <Roasted_> sipior, within AD?
[17:54] <fumanchu182> http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/maverick/en/man8/logrotate.8.html#contenttoc5 in case anyone wants
[17:54] <nictrasavios> I should shut up. Your all going to kill me soon haha!
[17:55] <weather_dude> How I can configure libgweather?
[17:55] <fumanchu182> btw man pages online = win ty for whoever set this up
[17:55] <cannonball> fumanchu182: that file includes everything in /etc/logrotate.d/, so what you're looking for may be in there instead.
[17:55] <sipior> Roasted_: yep.
[17:55] <lwizardl> hi
[17:55] <Roasted_> sipior, let me check
[17:55] <cth_lhu77> hi all
[17:55] <j_ayen_green> would Places have a reason to only be able to or only want to show part of a directory differently than ls does?
[17:55] <lwizardl> i have an intel hdmi audio system on my laptop and when i plug in headphones the laptop speakers don't mute
[17:55] <lwizardl> how do i fix this
[17:56] <j_ayen_green> a mounted directory
[17:56] <nictrasavios> Okay, to calm my nerves im going to help people haha.
[17:56] <terry> lwizardl: that is a hardware issue.
[17:56] <nictrasavios> lwizardl: i had a problem like that on windows vista. I dont know what it is though.
[17:57] <nictrasavios> lwizardl: It was, infact, the reason i came to ubuntu.
[17:57] <lwizardl> terry, yeah I know someone in here helped before with this issue
[17:57] <nibbler_> Jesdisciple, thing is, you enter an url, and this flash crap opens another 15. and you want to know which. its loading xmldata, flashanimations and all kinds of stuffs
[17:58] <nictrasavios> lwizardl: Gah. Mine just went away. I wish i could be of more service. If it is a hardware issue... Well $1000 and a baseball bat will fix that
[17:58] <terry> lwizardl: Well, I THOUGHT is was a hardware issue. Maybe I'm wrong.
[17:58] <drc> lwizardl: maybe http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=900898 will help?
[17:58] <Roasted_> sipior, well I just looked through it. everything looks spot-on normal.
[17:59] <Jesdisciple> nibbler_: HttpFox shows nothing, and I just noticed that although system monitor does show network activity, it's only outgoing...?
[17:59] <nibbler_> Jesdisciple, tcpdump, ngrep, wireshark
[18:00] <nictrasavios> Oh, dose anyone know how to connect to a passworldless wlan0 network via terminal?
[18:00] <hihihi100> any OPENBVE user here?
[18:00] <cannonball> lwizardl: Google found this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=806620
[18:00] <nictrasavios> Its the one thing i can't do in the terminal, and probably the only thing i have to do via GUI.
[18:01] <sipior> Roasted_: hmm. bit of a head-scratcher. unfortunately, i need to be on my way. i would say the thing to do is to create a series of test accounts, and check their login environments with "printenv", both before and after running a gvfs-mount.
[18:01] <kman> Evening, gods of the operating system. When i choose the "boot to first HD" option on my liveusb of ubuntu 10.10, it fails to boot and i get to initramfs. Can i check the integrity of the disk from there?
[18:01] <Roasted_> sipior, appreciate it bro
[18:01] <hytreem_> hello?
[18:01] <dajhorn> nictrasavios: Look at the wpa_cli and wpa_supplicant programs.   You can also add the wlan0 to /etc/network/interfaces and use ifup+ifdown instead.
[18:02] <Roasted_> dajhorn, what did that command do :(
[18:02] <nictrasavios> kman: For somereason that option dosent work on any boot disk i have tried. If your looking to check your system...  i would try a forensics boot CD like Backtrack 4, Gnacktrack, Helix ... etc.
[18:02] <callaghan> nictrasavios: try: man iwconfig
[18:02] <dajhorn> Roasted_:  What did what command do?  I haven't been watching your thread.
[18:02] <hytreem_> mineur, I'm back :p
[18:02] <Roasted_> dajhorn, the gvfs-mount command.
[18:02] <j_ayen_green> the only hints I have are that the folder icon for the shared folder in Places has a lock on it, when I right-click and select properties it counts 1300 items and 1.2 gig, which is probably right, but when I double click on it, it shows only a few subdirectories (all My something) which is a small subset
[18:03] <Akadrus> Hello everyone :P
[18:03] <nictrasavios> callaghan: ive tried using iwconfig , iwlist , and the host of that method, and it seen my network but was unable to get the connection.
[18:03] <Roasted_> dajhorn, it perma-changed my prompt to $. Even on other ubuntu computers when I log in my term prompt is $.
[18:03] <nictrasavios> dajhorn: alright i will :)
[18:03] <citrus2> hey all,   so i did a dist-upgrade    and quickly found out the new version of PHP that came with it  borked my joomla server.     how do i install an older version of php in the command line and lock it in place?
[18:03] <nictrasavios> after my distro-upgrade... id rather not mess with anything.
[18:03] <dajhorn> Roasted_:  Go back to your thread with ikonia.   I don't have any other advice.  Maybe you trashed your .profile or your .bashrc files where the PS1 variable is set.
[18:04] <callaghan> nictrasavios: I was able to connect to my wifi with iwconfig, but I'm no expert with the command, however this helped me a lot: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258857
[18:04] <dajhorn> Roasted_: And if you eventually got likewise working, then your domain users could be getting the profile (with the PS1) from the domain server.
[18:04] <Roasted_> dajhorn, ikonia was thinking it was local on the machine. But the key is, I logged into an entirely different Ubuntu computer on the domain, and it was like that. That's where I'm kind of confused.
[18:04] <ubuntu__> Hey, I'm the guy who just asked about fixing the grub killed by windows, the page didn't help
[18:04] <Roasted_> dajhorn, oh yes, likewise is working.
[18:05]  * Lint wants to know wherethe hell keyboard options are set...
[18:05] <nictrasavios> callaghan: it seems my probelm is when entering my key, since well... i have none and it wont take it blank.
[18:05] <osiris> Evening all
[18:05] <kman> nictrasavios, which one if them is the easiest to use and can be booted from usb?
[18:06] <stefwal> Lint: what are you looking for?
[18:06] <callaghan> nictrasavios: maybe this? http://www.wirelessdefence.org/Contents/LinuxWirelessCommands.htm#Connecting%20to%20WLAN%20%28DHCP%29
[18:06] <blag> Lint: System > Preferences > Keyboard -> Layout tab -> Options button

[18:07] <kman> Dude!
[18:07] <fatal_ERROR777> Guys, I have a question: does Intel support Ubuntu? I heard the myth that it isn't. I really have a slow Ubuntu perfomance comparing to Windows. Help?
[18:07] <dajhorn> citrus2:  You need to do a package pin in /etc/apt/preferences and re-add the old repos to the sources.list file.  Maybe ubottu knows...
[18:07] <dajhorn> !pinning > citrus2
[18:07] <boogyMan> grub help anyone?
[18:07] <nictrasavios> kman: easy to use? Oh there your in for it. The 3 i just said are hacker distros. But their "intended purpose" is for make sure yours system is locked down. So they have great tools for it.
[18:07] <Lint> How do you think, if I would use gnome, whould i have such soert of idiotic problem??
[18:07] <ikonia> Roasted_: I didn't think it was local to the machine, more so as your directory is network mounted at a domain level,
[18:07] <Padster> boogyMan: what do you need help with?
[18:08] <terry> fatal_ERROR777: You mean and intel processor?
[18:08] <Lint> some how my keyboard is setup in a strange way on my login. i need to know what to change to fix it.
[18:08] <nictrasavios> kman: the majority of the tools are CLI.. So easy to use ... no. Try looking around www.dedoimedo.com , he has some great security articles and links to the security distros, probably one you need is there.
[18:08] <boogyMan> someone linked me to a good resouce page for recovering grub, but it didn't fir my problem
[18:08] <[TK]D-Fender> fatal_ERROR777: That is an extremely unqualified statement.
[18:08] <kman> nictrasavios, great! thanks for your help!
[18:08] <callaghan> nictrasavios: iwconfig [interface] key open (sets open mode, no authentication is used and card may accept non-encrypted sessions) (from the same website; hope this helps :) )
[18:08] <Roasted_> ikonia, yar. I'm just not sure what's sticking it. AD has nothing that stands out as being weird, and nothing is in my share on the server either.
[18:08] <[TK]D-Fender> fatal_ERROR777: No mention of which versiono f either OS, what hardware, and what your basis of comparison is.
[18:09] <fatal_ERROR777> terry: yeah, I'm kinda confused
[18:09] <terry> fatal_ERROR777: What exactly is slow?
[18:09] <nictrasavios> callaghan: ill try it after the distro upgrade, im pretty sure that needs stable internet :D
[18:09] <galamar> if im having problems with proprietary video drivers how would i find out and fix it if thats what is cause slow refresh for web pages?
[18:09] <hytreem_> jono, bacon?
[18:09] <terry> fatal_ERROR777: Are you comparing boot-up time?
[18:09] <jono> hytreem_, yep
[18:09] <fatal_ERROR777> terry: the booting up
[18:10] <nictrasavios> kman: No problem :D
[18:10] <hytreem_> jono, could we PM for 3 minutes please?
[18:10] <jono> hytreem_, sure
[18:10] <terry> fatal_ERROR777: Oh yea, Ubuntu will take longer to boot.  That is normal.
[18:10] <hytreem_> cool
[18:10] <nictrasavios> jono: Can i join? Im nosey. JK. Lmao.
[18:10] <lotuspsychje> does ubuntu updates patch latest linux exploits?
[18:10] <dajhorn> lotuspsychje: Yes.
[18:10] <ikonia> lotuspsychje: it patches problems with the versions you are using
[18:10] <boogyMan> Padster: need help reinstalling it after win7 killed it
[18:10] <lotuspsychje> tnx guys
[18:10] <ivo8a> hola
[18:10] <nictrasavios> lotuspsychje: I can assure you they were patched before you could say the world "Linux"
[18:11] <nictrasavios> word*
[18:11] <lotuspsychje> lol
[18:11] <Padster> boogyMan: oh, so it just boots into windows?
[18:11] <lotuspsychje> nice1
[18:11] <A-06> ok... I have no x server
[18:11] <boogyMan> Padster: yup
[18:11] <nictrasavios> boogyMan: I just helped someone with that 5 minutes ago lmao...
[18:11] <lotuspsychje> because ive read one day maverick had a kernel exploit
[18:11] <terry> Guest30503: What happened?
[18:11] <nictrasavios> boogyman: One second haha
[18:11] <terry> Guest30503: Is this a fresh install?
[18:12] <Padster> boogyMan: well, maybe download system rescue cd and do something..
[18:12] <fatal_ERROR777> terry: after reading Linux haters, I really want to change OS. But after seeng my friend's blue screen of doom, I think other wise ;)
[18:12] <nictrasavios> boogyMan, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[18:12] <boogyMan> nictrasavios: that was me
[18:12] <Guest30503> terry: no
[18:12] <Padster> boogyMan: i know there are live discs to restore the master boot record. but idk what to do exactly atm
[18:12] <nictrasavios> boogyMan: Reinstalling grub should have fixed it?
[18:12] <Guest30503> I was trying to install NVIDIA drivers
[18:12] <joeb_> anyways .. why did they get rid of the command aptituide ?
[18:12] <Guest30503> and it created its own xorg.conf
[18:12] <ikonia> joeb_: it's still available isn't it ?
[18:12] <Guest30503> now there is no x server at all
[18:13] <Padster> gtg
[18:13] <terry> fatal_ERROR777: Linux has a lot of advantages.  It is a very powerful OS.  You'll just have to try it and see.  But you'll like it for sure.
[18:13] <boogyMan> nictrasavios: tried, but windows wrote over everything and there is no "right" place to install it with a kernel
[18:13] <Guest30503> and I'm lucky I had irssi, because Xchat and Kvirc both need the GUI
[18:13] <boogyMan> nictrasavios: it's screwing with my head
[18:13] <dajhorn> joeb_: Aptitude is still available.   `apt-get install aptitude`
[18:13] <kman> When i choose the "boot to first HD" option on my liveusb of ubuntu 10.10, it fails to boot and i get to initramfs. Can i check the integrity of the disk from there? Are there any commands like fsck or e2fsck there?
[18:14] <Guest30503> I have no idea how to get my X server back and actually see Ubuntu
[18:14] <psusi> kman: from there being the livecd, or the initramfs?
[18:14] <terry> Guest30503: What happened?
[18:14] <jahil> hi everyone
[18:14] <Guest30503> ^^
[18:14] <jnlsnl_> How can i keep my mouse sensitivity when using twinview with eg. a t
[18:14] <jnlsnl_> How can i keep my mouse sensitivity when using twinview with eg. a tv
[18:14] <nictrasavios> boogyMan: im gonna give you a download link, burn this iso to a disk and boot from it, then detect the grub installation (even if mbr is over written) and it should lead from there.
[18:14] <joeb_> chicken of the vnc is killing my connection
[18:14] <kman> psusi, from there being the initramfs ^^
[18:14] <joeb_> dajhorn-  but is it needed ?
[18:14] <terry> Guest30503: You can remove the xorg.conf file
[18:15] <dajhorn> joeb_: No, aptitude is not essential.
[18:15] <Guest30503> how?
[18:15] <nictrasavios> boogyMan, http://download.berlios.de/supergrub/super_grub_disk_hybrid-1.98s1.iso
[18:15] <fatal_ERROR777> terry: in my opinion, all OS's aren't the best. Each one is designed for different purposes. I prefer Linux, because I can fix bugs by myself. In Windows, you have to wait a year to have a bugfix...
[18:15] <boogyMan> nictrasavios: ok, meanwhile, I'll go over the thingy again
[18:15] <terry> Guest30503: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:15] <karla> fatal_ERROR777, ugh if it were only just windows
[18:15] <arand> terry: Guest30503 I would move it instead

[18:16] <nictrasavios> boogyMan, heres an office ubuntu article on it
[18:16] <arand> Guest30503: Don't delete just rename using the mv command
[18:16] <nictrasavios> boogyMan, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[18:16] <terry> arand: Why?
[18:16] <boogyMan> nictrasavios: thanks
[18:16] <kman> psusi, any ideas?
[18:16] <boogyMan> nictrasavios: I think I see something I did wrong
[18:17] <nictrasavios> boogyMan: No problem, and that disk you burn, keep it always. Trust me, its saved me time and time again.
[18:17] <psusi> kman: not from the initramfs I don't think, but if you boot the livecd, yes
[18:17] <Guest30503> terry: done... now what?
[18:17] <Nillerz> karla, if it were windows then you wouldn't get an error that is easily googleable, you'd get 7 random error messages, one after the other, and the annoying "DUN!" sound each time you click "ok"
[18:17] <joeb_> let me throw this out there .. if i want to compile something from source do i have to do a apt-get build-dep <package name> or is there another command ?
[18:17] <terry> Guest30503: sudo pkill gdm
[18:17] <JustCJs> Hm, i suppose i'd need to compile support for uvesafb in my kernel, as opposed to building it against running kernel?
[18:17] <ikonia> joeb_: what do you want to build ?
[18:18] <Roasted_> Question - I am running Ubuntu on a Windows domain. I ran a command (gvfs-mount smb://fileserver/users/$() and now my terminal prompt is continually showing up as $. The kicker is, even on other Ubuntu computers on the domain, it shows up the same way. How can I fix this?
[18:18] <nictrasavios> karla, Yea hes right.... haha. Trust me, errors in windows are horrible to try and fix.
[18:18] <JustCJs> Vesafb just doesn't do it for me ;/ get awfully slow fbdev
[18:18] <karla> nictrasavios, Nillerz - I agree but don't get your engines all fired up boys, I was referring to NetBSD actually...
[18:18] <Nillerz> I use Windows sometimes just for video games, and even though I never use a web browser, the os seems to corrupt and break itself down over time.
[18:19] <joeb_> ikonia- i installed ffmpeg from apt-get install but i built it last time so i want t build it again
[18:19] <Nillerz> ?
[18:19] <Nillerz> ah, must have missed whatever you were talking about, just joined the channel

[18:19] <nictrasavios> karla, :P alrighty haha. long as you got a *nix like framework im happy.
[18:19] <ikonia> joeb_: why do you want to build it ? building things when you don't know what you are doing can have serious implications to your systems stability ?
[18:19] <karla> :)
[18:19] <ikonia> joeb_: is there a problem with the package from the repo ?
[18:19] <nictrasavios> karla, so youve used BSD? I used to run freeBSD.
[18:19] <joeb_> ikonia- no
[18:20] <joeb_> ikonia- i need experience
[18:20] <ikonia> that's valid, go for it
[18:20] <A-06> brb as luckybunny
[18:20] <joeb_> k
[18:20] <kman> nictrasavios, is backtrack preferable to gnacktrack?
[18:20] <A-06> and then I'll need that link again
[18:20] <A-06> lol
[18:20] <karla> nictrasavios, yep I ran most of them, I stuck with netbsd eventually, #ubuntu-offtopic btw :)
[18:20] <A-06> it has worked
[18:20] <ikonia> kman: both are offtopic here
[18:20] <olit> anybody
[18:20] <kman> ikonia, your right. Sorry.
[18:20] <ikonia> no problem
[18:21] <fatal_ERROR777> terry: Mac OS X is good, but it's a bit annoying in interface, and like any other OS, it can be laggy. I remember the times, when I wasted 5 min. of time just to have it logged in(but it was a comuter lab in school). Also, I can have no worser programs for free, and paying so much money gets useless...
[18:21] <nictrasavios> kman: Gnacktrack is the gnome version on gnacktrack, the dev did a horrible job on it, but it seems to work just as good. Just you wont get the street cred or the consistancy of the army behind backtrack.
[18:21] <terry> joeb_: First off, you need to install build-essential
[18:21] <ikonia> fatal_ERROR777: can we try to get back to the topic of ubuntu support
[18:21] <ikonia> nictrasavios: it's offtopic
[18:21] <stefwal> olit: anybody???
[18:21] <Nillerz> Mac OS X is great for catholics.
[18:21] <lotuspsychje> lol
[18:21] <Nillerz> As long as you listen to Apple and do what Apple says, you're computer will work fine
[18:21] <karla> O.o
[18:21] <fatal_ERROR777> ikonia: no problem.
[18:21] <ikonia> thanks
[18:22] <olit> i am getting disconnected from internet and ttyACM0 changes to ttyACM1 and vice versa..
[18:22] <luckybunny> thanks terry
[18:22] <luckybunny> I am now seeing GUI
[18:22] <luckybunny> but I'll need that link again
[18:22] <waxrose> lol
[18:22] <olit> have i come to official channel or what??
[18:22] <nictrasavios> kman: If you want gnome with backtrack tho, nodezero is better the gnacktrack, i forgot about it haha.
[18:22] <ikonia> olit: yes you are in the official #ubuntu channel
[18:22] <waxrose> olit, Yes
[18:22] <ikonia> !topic | olit
[18:22] <nictrasavios> kman: That will allow you to pen-test your distro.
[18:23] <olit> i m not new
[18:23] <ikonia> olit: then don't ask questions that suggest you are
[18:23] <waxrose> ikonia, Do you mind providing me with the list of bot commands so that I can help people without being redundant?
[18:23] <ikonia> nictrasavios: please drop the non-ubuntu conversation, I've asked you twice now
[18:23] <Pici> !usage | waxrose
[18:23] <Nillerz> !ubottu | ikonia
[18:23] <terry> luckybunny: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[18:23] <olit> ikonia before i get disconnected please help me
[18:23] <ikonia> !bot > waxrose
[18:23] <waxrose> Pici, Thanks. :D
[18:23] <ikonia> Nillerz: I know how it works, thanks
[18:24] <Roasted_> Question - I am running Ubuntu on a Windows domain. I ran a command (gvfs-mount smb://fileserver/users/$() and now my terminal prompt is continually showing up as $. The kicker is, even on other Ubuntu computers on the domain, it shows up the same way. How can I fix this?
[18:24] <nictrasavios> ikonia: hmm? Oh sorry.  He was lookin to test his ubuntu, i was givin him tools to do so. But that is offtopic. I am sorry.
[18:24] <joeb_> how do i find a list of apps installed ?
[18:24] <ikonia> nictrasavios: not a problem, appreicated
[18:24] <Nillerz> I know, but whenever anyone uses ubottu un-necessarily I tell them what ubottu is for, it's to prevent ubottu from clogging the channel with useless information, phrased in such a way as to make linux sound like a call-center.
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> joeb_:  the pacakge manager tools can show whats installed.
[18:24] <ikonia> joeb_: dpkg -l shows the application packages installed
[18:24] <joeb_> Dr_Willis- doing it from cli
[18:24] <ikonia> joeb_: or you can just open the package manager which has a nicer interface
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> joeb_:  use the proper apt-* commands then i guess.
[18:25] <Lint> some how my keyboard is setup in a strange way on my login. i need to know what to change to fix it.
[18:25] <terry> Roasted_: Maybe pick a different directory name?
[18:25] <luckybunny> again, thanks terry
[18:25] <Stava> Does anyone want to trade their (valid) windows xp cd key for my unused win7 key?
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> I rarely use the more advanced features of apt. :)
[18:25] <ikonia> Stava: we don't discuss that
[18:25] <Nillerz> Stava, nope.
[18:25] <Roasted_> terry, tried that.
[18:25] <ikonia> Stava: please keep to ubuntu support only
[18:25] <waxrose> Stava, wrong channel for that.
[18:25] <Nillerz> why would you come to an Ubuntu channel for htat?
[18:25] <olit> cmon boys i cant go on changing ttyACM everytime
[18:26] <Nillerz> At the very least, anyone interested in your offer would probably just illegally generate the key themselves.
[18:26] <ikonia> Nillerz: just ignore it
[18:26] <genii-around> Lint: I'd suggest: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup           and answer all the questions appropriately
[18:26] <Stava> well there is no trade-software-channel
[18:26] <ex0a> i have been using the open source ati driver on my onboard ati hd 4250 for a couple of months now but just recently i started having issues where the second monitor is "wavy".. how can i troubleshoot this?
[18:26] <ikonia> Nillerz: please stop feeding it
[18:26] <terry> Roasted_: I'm not sure I understand the situation.
[18:26] <stefwal> olit: sorry , I can't help you, I hope you find a resolution
[18:26] <Lint> genii-around, will it affect X apps?
[18:26] <Nillerz> !troll | ikonia
[18:26] <waxrose> lol
[18:26] <Roasted_> terry, pretty much what my main post said. I ran a command which goofed up my terminal prompt. Now it does it globally across all ubuntu systems under my name.
[18:27] <Lint> Roasted_, had you grep for PS1 in your home dir?
[18:27] <olit> whoever can help me respond before that agian disconnects
[18:27] <Roasted_> Lint, I looked into PS1 a few times with the help of another user, but nothing ever came about it. Do you know much about it?
[18:27] <ayush> hello there, is there any way to install windows drivers in my ubuntu box
[18:28] <olit> ndiswrapper ayush
[18:28] <ikonia> ayush: it depends on the device, in my view it's not a good idea, what's the device that's a problem
[18:28] <Lint> ayush, only for wireless devices
[18:28] <overclucker> !warez
[18:28] <jnlsnl_> How can i keep my mouse sensitivity when using twinview with eg. a tv
[18:28] <genii-around> Lint: It gives X a hint of what to use, but you can always use something like xmodmap or so on to make your own X keyboard map
[18:28] <Dr_Willis> Roasted_:  you some how exported a PS1 variable.. export it to a value you like.  to get a prompt you like.
[18:28] <fatal_ERROR777> omg, my youtube vids are PINK! after figuring out a while, I came with a solution: Delete a PREF cookie. But the browser, which I'm running (Chromium) doesn't support (I think so) this option. Help?
[18:28] <ayush> @ikonia its a usb modem
[18:29] <Roasted_> Dr_Willis, well, that's where I get a little lost, as I'm not entirely sure what I did with the command I issued.
[18:29] <ikonia> ayush: are you %100 certain it's not supported in Linux ?
[18:29] <Dr_Willis> fatal_ERROR777:  ive seen pink flash fix's on some web sites mentioned..
[18:29] <drc> fatal_ERROR777: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/03/fix-pinkred-youtube-videos-bug-using.html
[18:29] <Dr_Willis> Roasted_:  no idea what you did.. most liklely changed a line in .bashrc or .profile you could always put a differnt export PS1=' ' at the end of one of those files.
[18:29] <Dr_Willis> Roasted_:  theres a 'bash prompt howto' thats worth reading. :) if you want to play with p[rompts
[18:30] <ayush> @ikonia its has worked in puppy and sabayon but its not working in ubuntu
[18:30] <Roasted_> Dr_Willis, could I just copy the bashrc contents from another profile?
[18:30] <terry> Dr_Willis: See my pm
[18:30] <ikonia> ayush: ok, that suggests there is some form of Linux support at least
[18:30] <ayush> @olit thanx
[18:30] <olit> what for??
[18:30] <Dr_Willis> Roasted_:  theres a few PS lines in the default ones.. i think one sets  a root user priompt in some cases, or a color one in other cases..   you could always diff your .profile with the oritinal .profile and see whats differnt
[18:30] <ayush> @ikonia lsusb reads it
[18:31] <Dr_Willis> Roasted_:  or go explore the promots out there and find one you like and use it.
[18:31] <olit> what did i do ,.... i m very much messed pp here
[18:31] <Lint> ayush, do you have relevant firmware installed?
[18:31] <ayush> @ikonia gnome -ppp fails
[18:31] <olit> ayush, lsusb reads anything
[18:31] <ayush> @olit yes
[18:31] <ikonia> ayush: gnome failing to use it and hardware support are two different things
[18:31] <terry> Roasted_: What caused you to issue that particular command in the first place?  What exactly were you trying to do?  Followning some sort of instructions or what?
[18:32] <ikonia> ayush: just because gnome doesn't configure it, don't think it's not supported
[18:32] <ayush> @lint how do i know
[18:32] <Roasted_> terry, yes, I was trying to auto-generate a link on the desktop so users who log in get a link tot heir server folder. the command was suggested to me, I ran it, and here we are.
[18:32] <Roasted_> Dr_Willis, I don't really need any special prompt. I'm just trying to reverse what I did.
[18:32] <Lint> ayush, look in system log aroung the lines where device is detected
[18:32] <fatal_ERROR777> drc: thanks ! :)
[18:33] <ayush> @lint how do i do that
[18:33] <olit> dmesg ayush
[18:33] <drc> fatal_ERROR777: Did it fix your problem?
[18:34] <fatal_ERROR777> drc: oh yes, it was the hardware acceleration. Now, I'm happy
[18:34] <Dr_Willis> Roasted_:  no idea what you did. default prompt here seems to be   'export PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ '
[18:35] <antonius> i seems to be having some permission issues.  does anyone know how to reset/repair all permissions, say maybe in safe mode?
[18:35] <Hedgehog456> how would i enable compiz on ubuntu and what are the benefits of compiz over metacity and gnome shell over gnome panel?
[18:35] <Roasted_> Dr_Willis, is that in the .bashrc file in the home dir?
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> Roasted_:  check the /etc/skel/.* files
[18:35] <ruan> antonius: what issues are you having?
[18:35] <Dr_Willis> Roasted_:  its in .profile here.
[18:35] <YouKay> Hey guys
[18:35] <fatal_ERROR777> drc: before I discovered IRC, I had to watch my videos on my smartphone... Thank you so much!
[18:35] <Lint> antonius, root user doesn't affecred by permisions, use it
[18:36] <ruan> don't login as root..
[18:36] <aeon-ltd> Hedgehog456: compiz over metacity, not much looks nicer some keybinding window management stuff is nice but if you're using a old system its not worth the performance trade off.
[18:36] <martijn_dekker> Hey all, I was wondering.. Flash crashes a lot in Firefox 3, and it just did in the 4 beta as well.. anything I can do about that?
[18:36] <monogamista> mam problem z compiz. Jak ustawiam kostke to przejscia miedzy pulpitami sa na wyciemnieniu.

[18:36] <monogamista> nie moge tego znaleźć, ma ktoś pomysł?
[18:36] <YouKay> I am facing a peculiar problem here. I use an USB stick as a sort of wireless broadband, in India. And the speed and connection had been very nice, but since the last week, after a recent update, my ubuntu laptop doesn't work well with it.
[18:36] <ayush> @lint @olit the log says "http://paste.ubuntu.com/577107/"
[18:36] <Hedgehog456> so what advantages does gnome shell have over panel?
[18:37] <monogamista> ok. thanx for information
[18:37] <Roasted_> Dr_Willis, my .profile is identical on the problematic machine as well as another ubuntu computer that isnt on the domain (and therefore exhibiting no issues)
[18:37] <joeb_> ikonia- or anyone .. i did a sudo apt-get build-dep ffmpeg .. for some reason it didn't install ffmpeg .. does build  just build all the gcc / compile software or what ?
[18:37] <antonius> ruan:  my sudo password no longer works...and i'm still able to install from software center, and sudo works sometimes with gksu
[18:37] <terry> Roasted_: Where did you get the instructions?
[18:37] <Roasted_> terry, from a user in here.
[18:37] <YouKay> The stick gets overheated and gets disconnected often, while the speed is very less, around 5 KBPS or so. The same device works well with my other computer (running fedora). :( Any help?
[18:37] <antonius> ruan: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1001, should be 0
[18:37] <Pici> joeb_: build-dep installs the build dependencies for a package, i.e, what is required to compile it.  It doesn't do anything else.
[18:37] <terry> Roasted_: Don't remember his nic by any chance do you?
[18:38] <antonius> ^output
[18:38] <Roasted_> terry, I do, but I already talked to him, he has no idea what happened.
[18:38] <Lint> joeb_, it just installs dependencies for ffmpeg
[18:38] <Roasted_> hence my insane frustration of having tried to figure this out here for the last 2 hours
[18:38] <joeb_> ok ok
[18:38] <joeb_> aw
[18:38] <Dr_Willis> Roasted_:  rename your .profile and .bashrc to some backup file.. log out/back in.. see if it still happens.. :) then start dissecting the files..
[18:39] <ayush> @YouKay which modem?
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> martijn_dekker: can you use a pastebin to give the output of: uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep swf; dpkg -l | grep gnash    thanks
[18:39] <joeb_> aw ok
[18:39] <terry> Dr_Willis: Did you see my PM?
[18:39] <olit> ayush my brother ,,is that only thing you got
[18:39] <olit> ?
[18:39] <Dr_Willis> Roasted_:  or just set the thing at the end of your .bashrc and be done with it..
[18:39] <YouKay> ayush: Tata Photon plus, wireless broadband. :(
[18:39] <joeb_> what if i want to remove sudo apt-get remove build-dep ffmpeg ?
[18:39] <nictrasavios> Okay im very tense haha.
[18:39] <corinth> Hey channel. I installed UNR via Wubiu, and after installing the restricted ATI driver, I have no graphical environment. At boot, it has be at a tty1 login. Help?
[18:40] <Pici> joeb_: You'll need to remove the packages manually.  There isn't any special command to remove what build-dep installed.
[18:40] <corinth> *Wubi
[18:40] <nictrasavios> It finished getting the packages.
[18:40] <ayush> @olit no but the other is just my backup connection
[18:40] <nictrasavios> Now its gonna install the upgrades
[18:40] <olit> ayush is it broadband??
[18:40] <Roasted_> Dr_Willis, well Im trying to learn how to bounce back from what happened. ya know?

[18:49] <martijn_dekker> Thanks, ActionParsnip

[18:49] <corinth> Alright mineur, I'm there
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> !details | censuraumbra
[18:49] <antonius> terry: NO! this is the problem, i had to create a second account, because of (magical linux) vnc wouldn't work with that account..every other acccoiunt on this machine but that lol
[18:49] <mineur> login
[18:50] <antonius> terry:  so now its asking for a uid that's been assigned to another user at this point
[18:50] <corinth> done
[18:50] <mineur> now type tail /var/log/syslog
[18:50] <terry> antonius: you might need to log into that original account to fix ti.
[18:50] <mineur> see if you get useful info in there
[18:50] <antonius> terry: original account deleted :(
[18:51] <terry> antonius: Why did you delete the original account?
[18:51] <andai> where do i put plugins i want to be able to use in audio players
[18:51] <mineur> you might want to add -n1000 to that tail command to see more lines
[18:51] <corinth> mineur: Hm...I don't see anything relevant. Just some networkmanager stuff.
[18:51] <Pici> antonius: Have you modified /etc/sudoers recently?
[18:51] <antonius> terry: well, figured i had no use for it..wanted to use the same username..didn't want to clutter gdm screen even more
[18:52] <MichaelDobrovits> does anyone knows how to track permission issues? for example when i use virtualbox with sudo i get usb support and while i try normally it doesn't have usb support
[18:52] <antonius> havent touched sudoers file
[18:52] <mineur> well then maybe in tjhe log of your display driver?
[18:52] <censuraumbra> I was trying to fix my multitouch support so I installed the utouch packages (idk if this is related, this is just what I was doing before the issue) After installing the packages the problem was not fixed so I restarted. Upon restart Ubuntu did not load into a GUI it was just command lines, so I entered the shutdown command and rebooted, now after it loads it just goes to a black screen. No command line, but
[18:52] <censuraumbra>  my wifi light is on, so the hardware is registering. However, safe mode works with my normal graphic settings. (I am currently using  Ubuntu 10.10)
[18:52] <mineur> check /var/log for interesting logging :)

[18:53] <martijn_dekker> gaurav_help, there are plenty.. although most of them disassemble into assembly language
[18:53] <c0d32> when I run the command "/bin/date $(cat command.txt)" and command.txt contains "; /bin/ls" then why aren't both programs executed?
[18:53] <corinth> mineur: By the way (I meant to mention this), my graphical interface was corrupted somehow after installing the ATI driver, so I "fixed" that by following a suggestion to remove my xorg file. After I rebooted, the GUI was back. That's when this problem started
[18:53] <psusi> gaurav_help: technicatlly such a thing is not possible, but there have been attempts to approximate it over the years
[18:53] <martijn_dekker> (Or assembler.. I'm never sure what it's called)
[18:53] <MichaelDobrovits> gaurav_help, you can try objdump
[18:53] <MarkusT> Since 10.10 my middle mouse click does no longer work (ID=04d9:2083). Any idea on how to debug this issue? Middle click of the additional touchpad does work allright, so it seems to be some kind of driver problem.
[18:54] <MichaelDobrovits> martijn_dekker, assembly :)
[18:54] <martijn_dekker> Thanks
[18:54] <mineur> did you backup your xorg file?
[18:54] <corinth> Nope...silly me. :P
[18:54] <corinth> I wasn't worried about it, because this is a fresh Wubi install
[18:54] <MichaelDobrovits> martijn_dekker, assembler take assembly code and compiles it into machine language
[18:54] <antonius> http://pastebin.com/Dn0Gdqqd
[18:55] <martijn_dekker> That's why I was confused, most likely :P
[18:55] <terry> antonius: pastebinit /etc/sudoers
[18:55] <censuraumbra> Is anyone able to help me?
[18:55] <MichaelDobrovits> tracking permission issues, anyone?
[18:55] <nictrasavios> um, oh question. In compiz , When issueing commands to the mouse it talks about button 1, button 2, button 3, and so on till 6, Where are those 6 buttons on a labtop? I have 2 buttons and a tap-able touchpad.
[18:56] <mineur> hmmm try running xconfigurator? not sure it's still called that way, been ages since I touched a graphical linux
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> nictrasavios:  many gaming and other mice have much more then 3 buttons...
[18:56] <antonius> terry: don't have permissions for sudoers...they let me view /etc/group tho..?
[18:56] <[TK]D-Fender> nictrasavios: Your scroll-wheel, side buttons, etc
[18:56] <antonius> lol@ "they"
[18:56] <psusi> nictrasavios: if you only have 2 buttons, then you only have two buttons...
[18:56] <Dr_Willis> nictrasavios:  also the scroll whell is like 4 and 5, left/right scroll = 6 and 7.
[18:56] <mineur> lol psusi, sharply noticed ;)
[18:57] <Dr_Willis> nictrasavios:   ive seen gaming mice with a amazing # of buttons :)  Mine has like 7 extras.. that i never use.
[18:57] <mineur> buttons are overrated :D
[18:57]  * mineur has 1 button
[18:57] <MichaelDobrovits> mineur, lol
[18:57] <motaka2> I have make install a program from where I should run  it?>
[18:57]  * Dr_Willis pushes mineur 's button
[18:57] <martijn_dekker> censuraumbra, you might want to try booting up again and writing down any errors that you see if X crashes again
[18:58] <censuraumbra> There are no errors
[18:58] <martijn_dekker> I once edited my wacom tablet's settings and caused X to choke on it for a few times
[18:58] <mineur> lol Dr_Willis, now depends how many fingers you used ;)
[18:58] <Dr_Willis> motaka2:  if you did a 'sudo make install' it should of installed it somewher ein the default path.
[18:58] <censuraumbra> As far as I can tell it loads like normal
[18:58] <martijn_dekker> Then I have no clue how to help you, censuraumbra.. sorry
[18:58] <censuraumbra> Okay, any idea how to fix the synaptic mouse issue?
[18:58] <MichaelDobrovits> censuraumbra, did you try to login using default x setting
[18:58] <terry> antonius: antonius Well, you have about 3 other accounts, right?  None of the other accounts will work?
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> motaka2: it will most likely have a binary in $PATH so type a few letters of the command and hit TAB
[18:59] <censuraumbra> I will try that, but I haven't yet
[18:59] <jiltdil> antonious: what is the output of /etc/shadow
[18:59] <terry> antonius: Only thing I can figure is that you've edited the sudoers account and you're going to have to fix it some how.
[18:59] <terry> antonius: Try another user account.

[19:00] <blag> gdm keeps crashing on me ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/577129/ ), but using startx works just fine.  how do i debug this problem further?
[19:00] <motaka2> ActionParsnip: a few letters of what ?
[19:01] <Dr_Willis> blag:  perhaps from a console do a 'sudo service gdm stop' then 'sudo gdm' and watch that console for error messages when it crashes.
[19:01] <nictrasavios> Dr_Willis, Oh wow. Lmao gotta get me one of them.
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> saulus: foremost may help (use in livecd)
[19:01] <jiltdil> antonious:What do you get when you type the command id at the command prompt? If you're not in the right group then you won't be able to sudo

[19:02] <nictrasavios> What do i do :S
[19:02] <jenia> where is pulseaudio config file?
[19:02] <Dr_Willis> nictrasavios:  if you customized it.. then keep it.. if not.. let it use the maintainers default..
[19:02] <pr0ton> hey people
[19:03] <pr0ton> i did some stupid thing
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> MichaelDobrovits: don't use sudo with gui apps, it's not suitable
[19:03] <surex> !help
[19:03] <pr0ton> i did a fsck on my root partition
[19:03] <pr0ton> now it reboots infinitely
[19:03] <pr0ton> anyway, planning to do a clean install
[19:03] <Dr_Willis> pr0ton:  a fsck when/how?
[19:03] <martijn_dekker> ActionParsnip, your fix worked perfectly. No flash crashes anymore. I'd just like to commend you on being so quick and knowledgeable. Respect, man.
[19:03] <Nitsuga> nictrasavios: If you never edited that file, it's safe to say yes to that question
[19:03] <pr0ton> wanted to do it on a removable drive
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> pr0ton: that's fine as long as it wasn't mounted
[19:04] <blag> Dr_Willis: there are no errors reported with that, and gdm doesn't even load
[19:04] <pr0ton> but ended up accidentally doing it on root partition
[19:04] <pr0ton> anyway, it's fsck-d now :P
[19:04] <motaka2> ActionParsnip: I still dont understand
[19:04] <pr0ton> what i wanted to know was
[19:04] <marlow59> I don't find GRUB-BACKGROUND in /etc/default/grub .
[19:04] <MichaelDobrovits> ActionParsnip, i know. but to have usb support inside virtualbox i need to give elevated privliges. how can i track the permission issues. mayb, lsof and group file?
[19:04] <pr0ton> how i can get my application data back
[19:04] <surex> !help | pr0ton
[19:04] <pr0ton> like for KTorrent, Chomr etc
[19:04] <jiltdil> antonius: u didn't give me the output yet :)
[19:04] <pr0ton> everything else... i'll just reinstall.. have  bash file...
[19:04] <marlow59> I don't find GRUB-BACKGROUND in /etc/default/grub
[19:04] <jiltdil> antonius:also check for it   ls -l /etc/sudoers
[19:04] <pr0ton> does anybody know what things to backup?
[19:04] <pr0ton> like pidgin IRC logs etc
[19:05] <MichaelDobrovits> ActionParsnip, i also have this issue with xsane, with elevated privliges it recognizes my scanner and without it doesn't
[19:05] <marlow59> I don't find GRUB-BACKGROUND in /etc/default/grub
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> martijn_dekker: funnily my web is slow (android phone on G connection)
[19:05] <jenia> where is pulseaudio config file?
[19:05] <pr0ton> anybody?
[19:05] <nictrasavios> Nitsuga, What you dont know if you edited it, like if a package might have done it. Cus i got 1200 or so extra packages on this box.
[19:05] <saulus> ActionParsnip: the important files all are .tar.gz files but foremost does not know about this file type. Right? So any other idea?
[19:05] <martijn_dekker> Mhm. You still replied faster than I'd expect anyone on an IRC channel to do :P
[19:05] <marlow59> I don't find GRUB-BACKGROUND in /etc/default/grub wath's wrong?
[19:05] <blag> pr0ton: backup all of the files and folders that start with . in your home directory
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> marlow59:  what are you trying to do exactly?
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> MichaelDobrovits: check your group membership
[19:06] <marlow59> a background
[19:06] <pr0ton> blag, ?
[19:06] <jnlsnl_> how do i keep my default mouse sensitivity when i activate twinview on tv?
[19:06] <blag> sigh
[19:06] <Dr_Willis> marlow59:  its not too hard to tell it a path to some image file.. personally i set it to use /boot/grub.png
[19:06] <Nitsuga> nictrasavios: humm... You can use the option to show the differences and paste it on http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[19:06] <pr0ton> blag... is that enough?
[19:06] <pr0ton> blag.. i got what you meant... .eclipse and stuff
[19:06] <nictrasavios> Nitsuga, Its blank or hasent loaded :P So im guessing it was a mistake by the upgrader?
[19:07] <blag> pr0ton: Places > Home, once Nautilus loads then press Ctrl+H on your keyboard to show hidden files, copy basically everything to a backup location
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> saulus: foremost knows ALL files. Who told you it didn't?
[19:07] <pr0ton> blag, ...
[19:07] <pr0ton> anything else?
[19:07] <marlow59> @ActionParsnip :I'm trying to have a background on GRUB 2  but don't find GRUB_BACKGROUND  on /etc/default/grub
[19:07] <blag> pr0ton: well, if you want to copy system settings, then copy everything in etc
[19:07] <saulus> ActionParsnip: the man page
[19:07] <Polah> How would I go about changing processor core affininity for running processes
[19:07] <jenia> what's this ratelimit.c file?
[19:07] <Nitsuga> nictrasavios: maybe it was just "touched" (changed modification time) by some script but in fact it's not modified. Say yes
[19:07] <MichaelDobrovits> ActionParsnip, what should i look for? vboxusers:me,root whereis usb permission
[19:07] <Nitsuga> nictrasavios: anyway if anything breaks there is a backup of the old file
[19:07] <blag> pr0ton: correction: copy everything in /etc/
[19:08] <marlow59> I'm trying to have a background on GRUB 2  but don't find GRUB_BACKGROUND  on /etc/default/grub
[19:08] <Dr_Willis> marlow59:  add the line perhaps..   or edit /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme  to point to some file.
[19:08] <gaurav_help> how i install a package while installing error comes The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.
[19:08] <nimrod10`> has anyone succesfully made his/hers nvidia driver autodetect the second monitor ? I'm running lucid lynx 32bit
[19:08] <saulus> ActionParsnip: the man page begins with BUILTIN FORMATS and does neither list tar nor gz files
[19:08] <nictrasavios> Nitsuga, Oh, well thats good :P
[19:08] <marlow59> thanks Dr_Willis ;)
[19:08] <pr0ton> blag... ok
[19:08] <blag> pr0ton: and use System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager to save a list of all installed packages
[19:08] <MichaelDobrovits> nimrod10`, i'am
[19:08] <jesus_> hi
[19:08] <nictrasavios> what is a Nvidia driver? every time i hear of em they break things.
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> martijn_dekker: well now you are on native 64bit flash rather than 32bit + 64bit nspluginwrapper
[19:08] <nimrod10`> MichaelDobrovits, any hints how to do it ?
[19:08] <pr0ton> blag, i'll probably upgrade the dist... and i've got  a bash file that reinstalls the bare essentials for me :)
[19:08] <MichaelDobrovits> nictrasavios, they work pretty good
[19:09] <MichaelDobrovits> nimrod10`, shalom
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> marlow59:  ive seen some scripts/tools that auto-set the grub background image to be whatever the user has selected. :)
[19:09] <Yerushalmi> Hey folks, how can I copy my firefox history across a format and reinstall of Ubuntu?
[19:09] <nictrasavios> MichaelDobrovits, but what are they?
[19:09] <blag> nictrasavios: the nvidia driver is a proprietary video driver from the nvidia company that runs their video cards.  it does not always play well with Ubuntu, but it is the only way to get 3D acceleration with a lot of nvidia video cards
[19:09] <ramon_Gimp> hello, how can i download a torrent on ubuntu?
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> Yerushalmi:  you could backup the .mozilla directory I think
[19:09] <Nitsuga> nictrasavios: most times you should replace the file, as some apps rely on an updated configuration to work.
[19:09] <Dr_Willis> ramon_Gimp:  theres dozens of torrent clients - transmission is installed by default
[19:09] <pr0ton> Yerushalmi, thanks to the tip from blag.. you should look for some .xyz file in your ~ directory
[19:09] <terry> Yerushalmi: You might want to try xmarks?
[19:09] <nictrasavios> blag: So unless you got a special driver, don't bother with em?
[19:09] <gaurav_help> how i install untrusted packages in ubuntu while installing it shows The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources.
[19:09] <marlow59> @ Dr_Willis : yeah I know but i prefer to set it up myself, terminal stuuf ;)
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> nictrasavios: they are the proprietory drivers for Linux made by nvidia
[19:10] <terry> Yerushalmi: History?
[19:10] <MichaelDobrovits> nimrod10`,  first thing is to install the latest drivers from nvidia. beta sometimes works better for my setup
[19:10] <pr0ton> Yerushalmi, actualy there is a FF extension which does it
[19:10] <psusi> ramon_Gimp: with the program "Transmission"
[19:10] <nictrasavios> So bassicly, no special driver.... then avoid them at all costs?
[19:10] <MichaelDobrovits> nimrod10`, if you experience strange behaviour replace driver again
[19:10] <blag> Yerushalmi: copy the .mozilla folder in your home directory
[19:10] <pr0ton> Yerushalmi, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/
[19:10] <blag> nictrasavios: pretty much
[19:10] <Dr_Willis> marlow59:  i just make mine use  a file like /boot/grubwallpaper.png then i copy whatever image i want to that file. :) or link it to the one i want to change.
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> gaurav_help: run: sudo apt-get update    what is output. Use a pastebin
[19:11] <blag> Dr_Willis: so, got any more help for me regarding the gdm crashing problem?
[19:11] <Yerushalmi> Dr_Willis: I was told that earlier but I didn't get an answer as to how easy it would be to open it afterwards. After all, often the folders have strange random letters
[19:11] <nimrod10`> I have already the beta driver , 270.29. What now ?
[19:11] <Yerushalmi> blag: Do you know if that works?
[19:11] <Yerushalmi> pr0ton: Thanks, I'll  look into it
[19:11] <pr0ton> Yerushalmi, try FEBE
[19:11] <pr0ton> i'm sure it works
[19:11] <jenia> where is pulseaudio config file?
[19:11] <nimrod10`> MichaelDobrovits,  I have already the beta driver , 270.29. What now ? When I plug it in it doesn
[19:11] <nimrod10`> t  detect
[19:12] <nictrasavios> blag: Alright, my girlfriend broke her windows box (blue screen of death) a few years ago, cus she downladed and installed them, because her windows live messager told her it would improve her system.... lmao.
[19:12] <Yerushalmi> pr0ton: Reading about it, thanks :)
[19:12] <MichaelDobrovits> nimrod10`, what card is it? is it hdmi or dvi?
[19:12] <blag> Yerushalmi: i am veru sure it works, but if youre not, then i suggest you use the Firefox bookmarks manager to export your bookmarks, then reinstall, then use the Firefox bookmarks manager to import them into your fresh firefox
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> jenia: ~/.pulse  and ~/.pulserc
[19:12] <ch_> It sounds simple but seems like an impossible task to me: I want to change the shortcut keys in evolution 2.30 under ubuntu. Help greatly appreciated.
[19:12] <jnlsnl_> anyone know how i change mouse sensitivity when using twinview with a tv?
[19:13] <pr0ton> blag... any idea how i can store my mount info?
[19:13] <blag> pr0ton: copy /etc/fstab
[19:13] <pr0ton> as in after a fresh install, the UUIDs dont change right?
[19:13] <nimrod10`> MichaelDobrovits,  it is the macbook nvidia M9400. Dont know how to check if it is hdmi or dvi
[19:13] <blag> pr0ton: and /etc/mtab
[19:13] <nictrasavios> pr0ton, /etc/fstab.
[19:13] <blag> pr0ton: incorrect
[19:13] <Dr_Willis> pr0ton:  if you repartition/resize they can change.
[19:13] <pr0ton> no repartitioning, just format and install
[19:13] <jenia> ActionParsnip: thanx
[19:13] <Dr_Willis> You can set a UUID with the tune2fs command if you wanted to
[19:14] <MichaelDobrovits> jnlsnl_, xset m x y where x and y are the sensitivity params i think but google it before
[19:14] <terry> Yerushalmi: tar cvf Firefox-Backup.tgz .mozilla    #And then on the new system  tar zxvf Firefox-Backup.tgz
[19:14] <blag> pr0ton: reformats i believe change UUIDs
[19:14] <MichaelDobrovits> nimrod10`, did you chk your fn f'something" to make the second monitor work?
[19:14] <pr0ton> blag, ok... i will map the new UUIDs then
[19:15] <nimrod10`> MichaelDobrovits, dont have a fn for monitor
[19:15] <blag> pr0ton: any other questions ;-)
[19:15] <jnlsnl_> MichaelDobrovits is that in xorg.conf  ?
[19:15] <terry> Yerushalmi: Put the Firefox-Backup.tgz on a thumb drive and then place it on the new system's home dir and do tar zxvf Firefox-Backup.tgz
[19:15] <pr0ton> thinking... dont want to lose data :D
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> Yerushalmi: clear your browser cache too. No point backing up temp internet files
[19:15] <artli> Hello. Please, give me a command for connecting to a WPA2-PSK-protected network. Sorry for the noob question.
[19:15] <jnlsnl_> or in terminal?
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> pr0ton: your backups will keep data integrity
[19:16] <jenia> what's this ratelimit.c file? Often, when I start a new video on SMPlayer or Pause/Unpause it, the entire screen becomes black'n'white and stays that way. When I look at /var/log/messages file after that, it always says pulseaudio: ratelimit.c: [some #] of events suppressed.
[19:16] <pr0ton> ActionParsnip, what is that supposed to mean?
[19:16] <blag> pr0ton: if you create separate partitions for /boot, /etc, /home, and another for everything else, and you dont reformat any of those partitions reinstalling in the future, you can keep your data and config and upgrade at the same time
[19:16] <MichaelDobrovits> nimrod10`, nvidia control panel doesn't recognize the monitor when you connect it?
[19:17] <ThinkT510> !wireless | artli
[19:17] <pr0ton> blag, i see... but many times a new distro causes problems using older config files...
[19:17] <marlow59> I just can't mount a sony flash drive on VM BOX
[19:17] <nimrod10`> MichaelDobrovits, it does but I have to manually cnofigure it every time
[19:17] <blag> pr0ton: true
[19:17] <artli> Thanks, guys.
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> artli: if you use wicd it has a curses based UI for configuring wireless easily
[19:17] <blag> pr0ton: its a tradeoff between using old config files and not having to backup everything before upgrading
[19:18] <marlow59> I just can't mount a sony flash drive on VM BOX
[19:18] <artli> No, i need bash command.
[19:18] <MichaelDobrovits> nimrod10`, try connecting then rebooting than check the control panel. hdmi is not plugnplay atleast with my setup
[19:18] <pr0ton> yeah... maybe one day we'll all move to the cloud :P
[19:18] <pr0ton> and none of this then
[19:18] <pr0ton> but i dont see it happening anytime soon
[19:18] <marlow59> I just can't mount a sony flash drive on VM BOX
[19:18] <MichaelDobrovits> nimrod10`, you can setup that the second monitor will always work through xorg but you need to make your research about xorg
[19:19] <nimrod10`> MichaelDobrovits, it does detect it automagically when I boot with the monitor connected but not whenI bring thecomputer from sleep and then plug the computer
[19:19] <Yerushalmi> terry, ActionParsnip, blag: Thanks for all the help. I'll make use of both that and FEBE to make doubly sure :)
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> pr0ton: as you are concerned about data loss then make sure you have an acceptable backup which you can easily restore from
[19:19] <joeb_> so let me get this straight .. apt-get is for packages / repots whatever .. dpkg is for individual stuff correct ?
[19:19] <marlow59> I just can't mount a sony flash drive on VM BOX, I tried adding it to known usb devices, but still doesn't show up even after unmouting on Ubuntu
[19:19] <Yerushalmi> pr0ton: Thanks for the FEBE link  too :)
[19:19] <joeb_> is that a good approach to look at it ?
[19:19] <marlow59> I just can't mount a sony flash drive on VM BOX, I tried adding it to known usb devices, but still doesn't show up even after unmouting on Ubuntu
[19:19] <blag> Yerushalmi: that never hurts
[19:19] <pr0ton> ActionParsnip, i know that, i was just wondering which specific data to backup
[19:19] <terry> Yerushalmi: NP
[19:19] <MichaelDobrovits> nimrod10`, hmmmm with that i can't help, disable sleep in power managment
[19:20] <marlow59> I just can't mount a sony flash drive on VM BOX, I tried adding it to known usb devices, but still doesn't show up even after unmouting on Ubuntu
[19:20] <MichaelDobrovits> nictrasavios, come again? what is the issue?
[19:20] <Guest49657> guys, i updated 10.04 to 10.10
[19:20] <Guest49657> and nothing
[19:20] <Guest49657> no boot, ... nothing
[19:20] <Guest49657> any kernel, same pb.
[19:20] <pr0ton> Guest49657, upgrading is a bad idea
[19:20] <pr0ton> it never worked for me
[19:20] <marlow59> agreed
[19:20] <pr0ton> fresh install is better...
[19:21] <marlow59> ;)
[19:21] <MichaelDobrovits> marlow59, try vm with sudo and then you can know if it's ubuntu's permissions or vm's
[19:21] <nictrasavios> MichaelDobrovits, currently nothing.
[19:21] <Guest49657> pr0ton, this is crazy. it shouldn  t
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> Joeb_: apt-get pulls down files with wget (i believe) then dpkg to install the debs. You can use dpkg yourself to install individual debs manually
[19:21] <terry> Guest49657: Are there several kernels to choose from?
[19:21] <Guest49657> if I fresh install, i lose /home
[19:21] <Guest49657> terry, yes.
[19:21] <Guest49657> 3.
[19:21] <jenia> what's this ratelimit.c file? Often, when I start a new video on SMPlayer or Pause/Unpause it, the entire screen becomes black'n'white and stays that way. When I look at /var/log/messages file after that, it always says pulseaudio: ratelimit.c: [some #] of events suppressed.
[19:21] <Guest49657> i am currently in a recovery mode and everything (graphics) seems normal actually
[19:21] <terry> Guest49657: Did you try 'em all?
[19:21] <Guest49657> terry, yes
[19:21] <lcb> what's the chan for natty? pls
[19:22] <dajhorn> marlow59: You might need the Virtual Box extension pack to get full USB support.  http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch03.html#settings-usb
[19:22] <nictrasavios> lcb: right here.
[19:22] <Guest49657> black screen, then the first two notes of initing session and like a crash and a black screen again
[19:22] <terry> Guest49657: So you was able to boot recovery mode?
[19:22] <ThinkT510> !11.04 | lcb
[19:22] <Guest49657> terry, yes.
[19:22] <nictrasavios> oh nvm.
[19:22] <genii-around> lcb: Also #ubuntu+1
[19:22] <marlow59> @dajhorn : thanks, gonna try it ;)
[19:22] <Tewr> Hey. I installed ubuntu 10.10 yesterday on a laptop, it worked like a charm, wifi and everything. Today, the wifi won't connect to my router anymore. When clicking on my wifi network, the wifi icon just keeps animating and every now and then I am re-prompted for the password, which is already saved by the applet. is there any way to reset the wifi adapter? like resintalling it or something?
[19:22] <pr0ton> ThinkT510, April 28 is the date for the stable release?
[19:22] <pr0ton> or the alpha?
[19:22] <Guest49657> but i don t know what i should diagnose actually...
[19:22] <lcb> nictrasavios, ok, thanks. so ubuntu+ or ubuntu1 if i recall, doesn't exist anymore, i guess
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> pr0ton: the hidden folders in $HOME store settings for apps. Also check in ~/.config for more possibilities
[19:23] <Pici> lcb: Its #ubuntu+1
[19:23] <MichaelDobrovits> Tewr, did you update?
[19:23] <ThinkT510> pr0ton: stable release, it's already on alpha 3
[19:23] <pr0ton> ActionParsnip, thanks... nothing to look for in /etc/* and /var/* ?
[19:23] <dajhorn> Tewr:  Did you do a full power-off?
[19:23] <marlow59> @Tewr: try to reinstall the driver
[19:23] <marlow59> ;)
[19:23] <lcb> ojj yeah.. . Thancs Pici :)
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> Tewr: which wifi chip?
[19:23] <pr0ton> ThinkT510, cool...
[19:23] <Guest49657> terry, the weird thing is i can listen to the beginning of the starting session notes...
[19:23] <Tewr> MichaelDobrovits: Yes, but this was yesterday just after installing.
[19:23] <Guest49657> but nothing at screen and a crash
[19:24] <marlow59> @Tewr :also check /etc/network/interfaces, if your card is fine.
[19:24] <Guest49657> nothing else but a black screen; nothing is able to interact
[19:24] <MichaelDobrovits> and before the update you wifi worked and after the update it stoped?
[19:24] <terry> Guest49657: Recovery mode from the hard drive, right?
[19:24] <Guest49657> yes
[19:24] <MichaelDobrovits> Tewr, and before the update you wifi worked and after the update it stoped?
[19:24] <terry> Guest49657: Or did you boot from CD?
[19:24] <Guest49657> terry, from hddd
[19:24] <terry> Guest49657: Ok, well you should be able to fix it.
[19:25] <pr0ton> blag, ActionParsnip, ok, people thanks a lot, i'll be moving to 10.04 or 10.10 soon on my desktop
[19:25] <Guest49657> how?
[19:25] <pr0ton> laptop has 10.04.2
[19:25] <terry> Guest49657: But let me ask you this;  What partitions do you have?
[19:25] <marlow59> @Tewr : is /etc/network/interfaces right?
[19:25] <aum> help - did an apt-get upgrade and now my sound won't work - I have usb audio adaptor (was working before upgrade), and pulseaudio meters show levels when i play audio - but i can't hear anything
[19:25] <Guest49657> terry, i think i did the normal thing
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> Guest49657: change your boot options from: quiet splash   to: nomodeset
[19:25] <MichaelDobrovits> Tewr, look at grubs menu if it gives any other kernels than the default than you can try diffrent kernels to see if it's a kernel issue
[19:26] <Tewr> MichaelDobrovits: no, it worked before, during and after. After Turning the computer back on today, it just wont connect...
[19:26] <Tewr> ActionParsnip: I need a minute to answer that
[19:26] <Guest49657> ActionParsnip, do you think it s splash related?
[19:26] <marlow59> whath's the file to édite the mirrors checked in updates? Got a lot of errors from google.dll...

[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Guest49657: possibility
[19:27] <Guest49657> terry, my partitionning is /boot /root /home
[19:28] <Guest49657> sorry qnd /swap
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> MichaelDobrovits: its great for fixing black screen boot
[19:28] <marlow59> @ Tewr try sudo ifup [ your interface] ( for exemple eth0 )
[19:28] <guntbert> Guest64220: ln -s <src> <dest>
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> Guest49657:  /root is differnt from '/' (which is called 'root' also)
[19:28] <Guest49657> Dr_Willis, right; sorry:
[19:28] <marlow59> GUest 49... Yes
[19:28] <marlow59> ;)
[19:29] <Guest49657> i have /    /boot  and /swap
[19:29] <marlow59> @ Tewr try sudo ifup [ your interface] ( for exemple eth0 )
[19:29] <Guest49657> just these 3
[19:29] <marlow59> whath's the file to édite the mirrors checked in updates? Got a lot of errors from google.dll...
[19:29] <BluesKaj> test
[19:29] <Dr_Willis> Guest49657:  do you really need a /boot ?  :) a /home would be more usefull in many cases
[19:29] <marlow59> whath's the file to édite the mirrors checked in updates? Got a lot of errors from google.dll...
[19:29] <Guest49657> Dr_Willis, definitely
[19:29] <MichaelDobrovits> virtualbox has usb support only when invoking virtual box with elevated privliges why?
[19:29] <guntbert> BluesKaj: not here please
[19:29] <marlow59> whath's the file to édite the mirrors checked in updates? Got a lot of errors from google.dll...
[19:30] <Dr_Willis> marlow59:  /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*
[19:30] <terry> Guest49657: Well, maybe the easiest thing to do would be to just re-install and do not format /home  ... Oh wait, you DO NOT have separate /home dir? Well, scratch that idea...
[19:30] <dumber> I try to install clamav 0.97 on 10.04 and get sudo freshclam
[19:30] <dumber> freshclam: error while loading shared libraries: libclamav.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory, can help me?

[19:30] <Dr_Willis> marlow59:  /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*   <[19:30] <BluesKaj> guntbert,  had to , lighten up pls, it was only one word
[19:30] <Roasted_> Question - I am running Ubuntu on a Windows domain. I ran a command (gvfs-mount smb://fileserver/users/$() and now my terminal prompt is continually showing up as $. The kicker is, even on other Ubuntu computers on the domain, it shows up the same way. How can I fix this?
[19:30] <MichaelDobrovits> guntbert, it's not a virtualbox issue it's permission issue in ubuntu
[19:30] <Guest49657> terry, no, don t think I have a dedicated /home: because i couldn t install 10.04 with different partitions, there was also a bug in 10.04 and spereataded /Var partition
[19:31] <marlow59> Dr_Willis : thanks a lot ;)
[19:31] <Tewr> @marlow59: sudo ifup says "unknown interface wlan0", same with eth0...
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> marlow59:   most likely theres a google entry in the apt.sources.d directory
[19:31] <guntbert> MichaelDobrovits: I'm certain it is a vbox issue - join me there please
[19:31] <marlow59> @ Tewr : don't have eth1
[19:31] <marlow59> ?
[19:32] <Guest49657> so I have to hope the noquiet option is responsible?  I think there s something later, cause i can hear an init starting session just before a crash
[19:32] <terry> Guest49657: If you have interent connection, I supose you could try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:32] <ThinkT510> Tewr: iwconfig will give you a list of your network interfaces

[19:36] <azertyy> what i have done is : i done chmod -R 777 /

[19:37] <azertyy> is it good to that ?
[19:37] <joeb_> k3b: /usr/bin/k3b /usr/share/man/man1/k3b.1.gz
[19:37] <Guest49657> terry, Dr_Willis: could it be a bad configuration in kernel? what would be the behaviour if /ext4 was not built in? could this have the symptoms i have?
[19:37] <nishant> if its not shown in app menu I think it does appear in Menu after reboot too
[19:37] <azertyy> hello anyone there ?
[19:37] <AJRimmer> looking for the correct path to samba_3.5.4~dfsg-1ubuntu8.2_i386.deb   the package manager keep coming back with file not found
[19:38] <terry> Guest49657: We should look at what is in the sources.list
[19:38] <azertyy> what i have done is : i done chmod -R 777 /
[19:38] <nishant> !repeat | azertyy
[19:38] <azertyy> with chown -R root:root /

[19:38] <BluesKaj> terry,  Guest49657 , are you discussing upgrading the OS to the next version ? if so then the command is , sudo do-release-upgrade , but make sure there no nondefault ppa repos enabled in the sources.list or package manager first
[19:38] <AbuBadr> hi there
[19:38] <terry> BluesKaj: Yes, thatks
[19:38] <YouKay> Hey guys, my USB sockets get overheated on operation, when I run Ubuntu. :( I checked the hardware, they're okay. So, can any OS feature-failure cause this problem?
[19:38] <Roasted_> Question - I am running Ubuntu on a Windows domain. I ran a command (gvfs-mount smb://fileserver/users/$() and now my terminal prompt is continually showing up as $. The kicker is, even on other Ubuntu computers on the domain, it shows up the same way. How can I fix this?
[19:38] <azertyy> how to recover to default configuratioN ?
[19:39] <joeb_> i did dpkg-reconfigure k3b
[19:39] <joeb_> same thing
[19:39] <AbuBadr> i need flash player for chrome   it's telling that its already there but i couldn't find it!!!!!
[19:39] <dumber> freshclam: error while loading shared libraries: libclamav.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. anyone  can help me?? clamav 0.97 on 10.04
[19:39] <terry> Guest49657: Let us look at your sources.list  and see what is there, or not there
[19:39] <wildc4rd> evenin' all
[19:39] <MichaelDobrovits> YouKay, r u sure?
[19:39] <volvering> hello some one can help me to put in red an directory btween 2 ubuntu pc?
[19:40] <marlow59> what's the difference between atp-get and aptitude ?
[19:40] <YouKay> MichaelDobrovits: Unfortunately, yes. :(
[19:40] <nishant> AbuBadr, for chrome you need to install   sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[19:40] <nishant> aptitude is the program name , apt-get is one of its commands
[19:40] <marlow59> what's the difference between atp-get and aptitude ?
[19:40] <YouKay> marlow59: aptitude is a wrapper around apt-get. So, it's more convenient to use, and more advisable.
[19:40] <MichaelDobrovits> marlow59, apt-get uses wget to download and dpkg to install the package
[19:41] <nishant> aptitude is not the program name ?
[19:41] <marlow59> more convenient? Aptitude? Why?
[19:41] <AbuBadr> nishant, nonfree !!!   it's not a free software?!!
[19:41] <marlow59>  more convenient? Aptitude? Why?
[19:41] <marlow59> @YouKay  more convenient? Aptitude? Why?
[19:41] <nishant> Not sure about that , but thats how I got it working in Chrome
[19:41] <YouKay> marlow59: Because it offers your greater choices and flexibility. aptitude automatically removes non-required packages
[19:41] <nishant> just install and try once
[19:41] <YouKay> * you
[19:42] <motaka2> I have make install a program from where I can run it ?
[19:42] <lcb> if anyone here using easycap, could you please point me a place with additional steps to do under ubuntu.
[19:42] <marlow59> apt-get do it too no?
[19:42] <erUSUL> motaka2: command line?
[19:42] <MichaelDobrovits> YouKay, when did you discovered this issue. how long you use ubuntu?
[19:42] <anthony_> what's the quickest easiest way to set up internet sharing?  I have a 3G dongle, and both wired and wireless capabilities between machines.  ubuntu 10.10 on both.  would like to use wireless if possible
[19:42] <YouKay> motaka2: Terminal
[19:42] <dirty-d> sup peeps!
[19:42] <erUSUL> !ics | anthony_ with network manager
[19:42] <motaka2> YouKay: I dont know how what is the name of the file
[19:43] <barefoot> After upgrading to 10.10, grub just hangs at the kernel picking screen waiting for a choice. It seems that GRUB_DEFAULT=0 and GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 in /etc/default/grub arent being respected. I have tried update-grub also but no go, any ideas?
[19:43] <YouKay> MichaelDobrovits: I have been using Ubuntu for 2 years, and I discovered the issue just last week.
[19:43] <ThinkT510> !compile | motaka2

[19:44] <YouKay> MichaelDobrovits: On my laptop, actually, which is compaq 6710s, RAM 512 DDR2, Core 2 duo.
[19:44] <nishant> Does ubuntu cloud use somethig like RHCS ?
[19:44] <erUSUL> motaka2: ls /usr/local/bin/
[19:44] <BluesKaj> MichaelDobrovits,  YouKay , there's a long standing debate about apt vs aptitude , they both work altho aptitude had the reputation of handling dependencies in a more organized manner than apt , some say this is no longer the case.
[19:44] <ThinkT510> !cloud | Gx4

[19:45] <MichaelDobrovits> YouKay, does your computer has heating issues? like it feels boiling inside or something?
[19:45] <YouKay> MichaelDobrovits: I checked it once, and it's okay. But well, a second checking would be better, thanks.
[19:46] <motaka2> erUSUL: Now I dont know what I should do
[19:46] <YouKay> MichaelDobrovits: None that I remember.  I am going to give it a checking. Thanks
[19:47] <MichaelDobrovits> YouKay, it's not hardware it's cooling issue

[19:48] <motaka2> bash: mysqlworkbench: command not found
[19:49] <guntbert> BluesKaj: the debate is not aptitude vs apt  but aptitude vs apt-get, both are front ends for apt

[19:55] <XzargX> no issue - just wondered if anyone had any config issues before I bought one
[19:56] <nathanforbes> Roasted_, you mean your PS1 prompt?
[19:56] <erUSUL> Roasted_: relaunch the terminal.
[19:56] <Roasted_> erUSUL, I did. and rebooted.
[19:57] <Roasted_> erUSUL, something got FUBAR'd. :(
[19:57] <Roasted_> nathanforbes, yeah.
[19:57] <Phase> jotbe: Hmm, is that not supposed to be there? /me double checks `man date`
[19:57] <erUSUL> Roasted_: paste your ~/.bashrc in paste.ubuntu.com
[19:57] <nathanforbes> check your ~/.bashrc and /etc/bash.bashrc
[19:57] <nathanforbes> yeah what he said
[19:57] <Roasted_> erUSUL, just know, this happened to my domain account (ubuntu is on our windows domain here at work)
[19:57] <Roasted_> erUSUL, I went to a different ubuntu computer, logged in, and I have the same problem there too.

[20:00] <erUSUL> motaka2: any progress?
[20:00] <jotbe> Phase: how often does it occur?
[20:01] <motaka2> erUSUL: wait ...
[20:01] <Roasted_> erUSUL, if I type bash, I get the regular prompt back with firstname_lastname@computername:~$

[20:01] <ohzie> I installed samba over the weekend and now, back at work, Nautilus can't access my windows shares.
[20:01] <Phase> jotbe: The cronjob has it run at 1:30am and 1:30pm every day, and so far it seems to be the morning ones that get the filename wrong
[20:01] <ohzie> I've uninstalled Samba(I don't need it anymore) but It's still not working. Any suggestions?
[20:02] <Phase> jotbe: As far as testing it goes, this is twice it's happened out of 4 times of letting cron run the script
[20:02] <[cata]> hi, im new with ubuntu
[20:02] <[cata]> is there any easy way to mirror a drive?
[20:02] <[cata]> or a drive from a computer in the network ?
[20:02] <[cata]> that has windows on it
[20:02] <MichaelDobrovits> [cata], do you mean backing up?
[20:02] <jotbe> Phase: what about putting the path and file param in double quotes?
[20:02] <sisyphus> Hi. I have to use madwifi driver for my wlan device and it works fine, but after suspend/hibernate the device is not active anymore and I have to remove/push the module (ath_pci) again. Is there any solution? I've tried adding networking to the acpi-support but it didn't help.
[20:02] <erUSUL> Roasted_: i think thast those domain logins are using /bin/sh as shell. do « getent passwd username » what do you get for one of this "domainlogins" ?
[20:02] <ohzie> [cata]: DD will image a drive for you
[20:03] <Roasted_> erUSUL, should I use my actual username nad pw?
[20:03] <ohzie> !dd | [cata]
[20:03] <Roasted_> for the domain acct?
[20:03] <Phase> jotbe: Hmm, there's no spaces in any of the directory or filenames, but I'll definitely try it
[20:03] <MichaelDobrovits> how to check usb device node permissions?
[20:03] <karlo94> anyone know some very lite-wight browser whit flash, images and java, or something like that ?
[20:03] <jotbe> Phase: just a general hint to avoid issues with command args
[20:03] <[cata]> MichaelDobrovits yes, i have a drive on windows os that i want to backup on an ubuntu machine
[20:03] <Phase> jotbe: Alright, thanks :)
[20:03] <Phase> karlo94: Chrome
[20:04] <erUSUL> Roasted_: passwd is literal in that command is « getent passwd $your_user_name »
[20:04] <ohzie> [cata]: man dd to look at its manual. Basically, you do dd if=/dev/sourcedevice of=/path/to/image/or/target/device
[20:04] <MichaelDobrovits> [cata], i suggest rsync google for rsync backup in google
[20:04] <erUSUL> MichaelDobrovits: depends on the usb device... network devices wont even have a device node
[20:04] <jotbe> Phase: you might try with a small one-liner script to catch the issue. or did you already?
[20:04] <Roasted_> erUSUL, it comes back with my_name:x:random numbers:last name, first name: /home/local/DOMAIN/my_name:/bin/sh
[20:05] <joeb_> Question .. i had ssh enabled right .. first off i did a sudo /etc/ini.td/sshd stop / rebooted the computer and its back on .. now i just did a sudo ufw deny 22 .. i did a nmap on my ip and port 22 is still open .. what am i doing wrong ?
[20:05] <MichaelDobrovits> erUSUL, k, but what about all other devices like scanners and usb-hdds?
[20:05] <erUSUL> Roasted_: ok thats the probem you are using /bin/sh as shell instead of /bin/bash
[20:05] <Roasted_> erUSUL, do you know how to flip that around?
[20:05] <Phase> jotbe: I'm going to try that next actually
[20:05] <erUSUL> Roasted_: simply run « chsh » and choose/type /bin/bash as shell
[20:06] <Roasted_> erUSUL, it says my user does not exist in /etc/passwd
[20:06] <jotbe> Phase: create the $DATE in the same way as in the script and echo it. then create the $DATE with the time of both crontab triggers :)
[20:06] <Roasted_> erUSUL, domain account, mind you
[20:06] <brandon_> How do I chroot a Hardy Heron machine for recovery?
[20:06] <erUSUL> Roasted_: you have to find out how to change default shell for those accounts... i am not familiar with them
[20:06] <MichaelDobrovits> erUSUL, k, but what about all other devices like scanners and usb-hdds nodes?
[20:06] <Phase> jotbe: Alright, thanks for the suggestions
[20:07] <Roasted_> erUSUL, okay. thanks for the lead bro. appreciate it.
[20:07] <brandon_> The machine is configured for LVM, and I'm having an issue getting it to mount during recovery
[20:07] <jotbe> Phase: maybe with +/-1 or 2min
[20:07] <jotbe> np :)
[20:07] <erUSUL> MichaelDobrovits: again depends... webcams create /dev/videoN devices a usb_to_serial creates a /dev/ttyUSBN device etc ...
[20:07] <motaka2> erUSUL: it says I must have /home/donkarli/mysql_workbench/usr/local/bin  but I just have  /home/donkarli/mysql_workbench/usr/local/lib
[20:07] <joeb_> ok it worked
[20:07] <erUSUL> Roasted_: no problem
[20:08] <joeb_> i don't know why ssh is still open
[20:08] <guenni> Hello, how can I exit a channel?
[20:08] <erUSUL> motaka2: :/
[20:08] <erUSUL> guenni: /part
[20:09] <guenni> thx
[20:09] <motaka2> erUSUL: so I should give up ?
[20:09] <MichaelDobrovits> erUSUL, ok. lets say i have an issue with xsane, it recognize my scanner only when i invoke xsane with elevated privliges otherwise it doesn't
[20:09] <erUSUL> motaka2: i dunno... do you followed the instructions in the page? do you got any error in any of the steps?
[20:09] <ray_> can anyone see me?
[20:10] <MichaelDobrovits> ray_, yep
[20:10] <motaka2> erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/DRgrx0Fb
[20:11] <erUSUL> MichaelDobrovits: ok from what i gather you have to be in the scanner group
[20:11] <brandon_> anyone have any idea how to chroot a hardy heron machine for recovery?  I can't get it to mount my disks (they are LVM -> Ext3)
[20:11] <Roasted_> Does anybody know how to change the default shell for domain accounts on Ubuntu?
[20:11] <erUSUL> MichaelDobrovits: do « sudo adduser $USER scanner » and log out; log in again
[20:12] <erUSUL> !find libmysqlclient
[20:12] <vegancheesesteak> hi, i'm still trying to solve a grub issue with 8.04LTS Server.  After an apt-get upgrade that updated grub I cannot boot and when trying to re-install grub i receive a /boot/grub/stage1 not found even though it is on the drive. could anyone help or make some suggestions?
[20:12] <erUSUL> motaka2: typo? install libmysqlclient16-dev and libmysqlclient-dev
[20:13] <MichaelDobrovits> erUSUL, ok. does adduser adds a group in /etc/group?
[20:13] <erUSUL> MichaelDobrovits: yes
[20:13] <motaka2> erUSUL: What ?
[20:13] <Gx4> So on a cloud each user gets his own image right ?
[20:14] <MichaelDobrovits> erUSUL, The group scanner does not exists
[20:15] <mutante> Gx4: image? i dont think so, just huge storage and permissions
[20:15] <Tewr> Hey I'm having some strange problems with my wlan, I tried most stuff. How can remove and then re-install the driver for the wlan card?
[20:15] <erUSUL> motaka2: sorry; i checked the paste the name is ok... what version of ubuntu is this?
[20:16] <motaka2> erUSUL: 8.04
[20:16] <mutante> Tewr: how did you install it
[20:16] <erUSUL> !find libmysqlclient hardy
[20:17] <MichaelDobrovits> erUSUL, you should addgroup before adduser to group
[20:17] <Tewr> mutante: It worked out of the box after installing ubuntu yesterday. today it finds wlans but won't connect.
[20:17] <erUSUL> motaka2: in 8.04 only libmysqlclient15-dev not 16 is aviable. install it and check if it compiles
[20:17] <Gx4> mutante > so if you have many users on a cloud you just add them different permissions ?
[20:17] <motaka2> erUSUL: How can I do that ?
[20:17] <erUSUL> MichaelDobrovits: the sane packages should have added the group afaik
[20:18] <erUSUL> motaka2: sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient15-dev
[20:18] <MichaelDobrovits> erUSUL, ok thx.
[20:18] <erUSUL> motaka2: and all the other packages
[20:18] <mutante> Tewr: get any specific error message?
[20:18] <hal> I have removed the power button applet from my ubuntu gnome panel. Does anyone know how I can restore it, please?
[20:18] <mutante> Gx4: i guess so, yeah
[20:18] <Tewr> mutante: no the icon just animates for like 30 seconds and then re-prompts the wlan password
[20:18] <erUSUL> MichaelDobrovits: i do have the group here in my 10.04 install
[20:18] <Roasted_> Does anybody know how to change the default shell for domain accounts on Ubuntu?
[20:19] <MichaelDobrovits> erUSUL, i don't have it in karmic
[20:19] <motaka2> erUSUL:  now it says it can't find the package sqllite3-dev
[20:19] <MichaelDobrovits> erUSUL, anyway i've added the group and the user i'll see if it works
[20:20] <mutante> Tewr: this might help to get some outpout about whats going on  http://argandgahandapandpa.wordpress.com/2009/03/07/debugging-wifi-on-ubuntu-linux/
[20:20] <Tewr> mutante: exactly the kind of article I was looking for, thx. Ill give it a shot
[20:20] <mutante> Tewr: if it worked already and you didnt install anything else since that on your box, the "reinstall" approach does not sound like it will change things.. its not windows
[20:21] <MichaelDobrovits> erUSUL, btw do you know why virtualbox recognizes my usb device only when i invoke it with elevated privliges? i'm in vboxusers group, but it seems theres somekind of usb permission issue that only root can use usb device in vbox
[20:21] <joeb_> ok im back .. i have an issue with my ubuntu box .. its a laptop right .. my 10-key is not working .. i put on num lock and same issue .. any ideas ?
[20:21] <erUSUL> MichaelDobrovits: sorry dunno
[20:22] <erUSUL> MichaelDobrovits: /join #vbox ?
[20:22] <erUSUL> !find sqlite hardy
[20:22] <Tewr> mutante: Ok :)
[20:22] <erUSUL> motaka2: libsqlite3-dev ?? really looks like the package expects a more recent distribution to be compiled in
[20:23] <hal> does anyone even know what that button is called. Then maybe I can search for it
[20:23] <MichaelDobrovits> erUSUL, what manages permissions in ubuntu, point me to the correct lib or bin. channle #vbox admins are dorment or something and it seems that users there don't know what their talking about
[20:24] <majid> Hi all. I've got a .DAT video file and I don't know how to play it. Can you help me buddy?
[20:24] <erUSUL> MichaelDobrovits: there is no single lib or bin that does that...
[20:24] <motaka2> sqlite3-dev   , what do you mean ?
[20:24] <mutante> MichaelDobrovits: if only root is allowed to mount something, check /etc/fstab and "users" ..bla
[20:25] <erUSUL> motaka2: i mean that 8.04 may be too old for what you want. maybe you should use an older versionof mysql wrokbench. one released circa 2008
[20:25] <nishant> .dat i usually opened by default ubuntu video players
[20:25] <hal> I have removed the power button applet from my ubuntu gnome panel. Does anyone know how I can restore it, please?  does anyone even know what that button is called? Then maybe I can search for it
[20:26] <MichaelDobrovits> mutante, it doesn't seems a mounting issue because not unly hdds are greyed out in the list all of my usb devices are greyed out while i run it as user
[20:26] <nishant> hal -> right click on panel and add to panel
[20:26] <motaka2> erUSUL: I can Uninstall this ubuntu , what should I do then ?
[20:26] <hal> nishant: it's not listed
[20:26] <erUSUL> motaka2: again use an older versionof mysql wrokbench. one released circa 2008
[20:26] <Roasted_> Does anybody know how to change the default shell for domain accounts on Ubuntu?
[20:26] <MichaelDobrovits> what is ubuntu-minimal package is it safe to remove to compile vi from scratch?
[20:26] <mutante> MichaelDobrovits: i also need to use mount to mount by usb storage devices.. unless automount does it
[20:27] <berto-> i installed ubuntu 10.10 on a hard drive, which was /dev/sda.  i then added some drives and it became sdd, why and is there a way to make it sda?  i'm pretty certain it's the first SATA port, so it _should_ be sda.
[20:28] <mutante> Roasted_: define "domain account". LDAP? Windows Active Directory? non-local users? on the remote server then
[20:28] <nishant> hal, go to System - Preference - Power and check in general tab ...
[20:28] <roger_padactor> if I have ubuntu setup on virtual box as a guest, how do I set it up so I can have access to some local sites from the host machine?
[20:28] <nishant> ubuntu by defaults removes the battery icon if the battery is fully charged
[20:28] <roger_padactor> set static IP?

[20:29] <nishant> check this hal
[20:29] <MichaelDobrovits> what is ubuntu-minimal package is it safe to remove to compile vi from scratch?
[20:29] <Alphanaut> hmm, just installed 10.10 on a laptop.  should i be nervous that there are a TON of established sequential ports open in netstat?  like 4444, 4445, 4446, 4447, etc.  Seems odd for huge ranges to be established: http://pastebin.com/0fyKSRZa
[20:30] <kninetimmy> hey all
[20:30] <hal> nishant: I'm afraid that isn't the applet I mean
[20:30] <nishant> does ubuntu consume less power than windows
[20:30] <kninetimmy> yes
[20:30] <nishant> you mean shutdown thingy
[20:31] <hal> nishant: yes, it displays about 10 options
[20:31] <No`> hi all
[20:31] <nishant> Try add to panel indicator apple

[20:32] <ivorensis> I tested how many workspaces I can have at one time. Ubuntu kind of crashed at about 15 workspaces. Now for example alt + tab doesn't work and changing workspaces with ctrl + alt + left/right still works, but doesn't look like it's supposed to. Anybody know what's the problem?
[20:32] <No`> how can I solve that?
[20:32] <nishant> Does anyone know if Ubuntu runs more on battery compared to Windows ? Battery perf
[20:32] <frankbiondo> 'amore 3
[20:33] <nishant> hal, did that solve the problem ?
[20:33] <erUSUL> nishant: linux in general is not up to par with windows...
[20:33] <hal> ah that's it nishant :_ thank you
[20:33] <nishant> erUSUL, what you mean not par ? lol
[20:33] <hal> nishant: yes, thank you very much :)
[20:33] <nishant> hal, wc :)
[20:33] <No`> FYI, from the console, "nautilus /" is working ; it's when I'm reaching my "~" that it segfaults
[20:33] <hans_> Is there any advantage of backup tools like time vault over cp -R ~ /mount/usbthingy?
[20:33] <frankbiondo> ciao
[20:33] <Traintop> Hi Folks!
[20:33] <erUSUL> nishant: that it is not as good as windows. no help from hardware manufactures you know
[20:33] <mutante> nishant: unfortunately  http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_windows_part2&num=1
[20:33] <v3ctor> MichaelDobrovits: it is a metapackage. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MetaPackages
[20:34] <frankbiondo> !list
[20:34] <erUSUL> nishant: you can use powertop to optimize battery consuption
[20:34] <erUSUL> !info powertop
[20:34] <rlp10> what's the regex for what you matched in the first part of your regex? if that makes sense
[20:34] <erUSUL> rlp10: \1 ?
[20:34] <Roasted_> Does anybody know how I can change the default shell for domain users?
[20:34] <jnlsnl_> when i use twinview on my tv flash movies in fullscreen will have same resolution as my laptop and not the tv
[20:34] <rlp10> erUSUL: thanks, I'll try that
[20:34] <jnlsnl_> any suggestions?
[20:34] <Alphanaut> hmm not even 1 response
[20:34] <erUSUL> rlp10: also ask in #regex
[20:35] <Traintop> I have a 5.1 sound-card and I remember having read something about "splicing" the soundcard in e.g. 2; -is this a feature of pulseaudio, alsa or can I do this directly in ubuntu?
[20:35] <rlp10> erUSUL: good point, thanks
[20:35] <No-Nick-Name> webcam not supported in pidgin what should i do ?
[20:35] <hans_> nishant: In linux you can use powertop so eventually linux goes longer with batteries.
[20:35] <Alphanaut> so to rephrase, is it normal to have entire port ranges "CONNECTED" in netstat for a 10.10 install with very few services running?
[20:35] <nishant> erUSUL, thanks for powetop will check out !! mutante  sad its more power hungry ! hope developrs come with a solution
[20:35] <Hagar1> get another messenger
[20:36] <nishant> yes indeed hans , customization
[20:36] <drobole> Alphanut: its not uncommon. doesn't mean that one of them is suspicious though :D
