[04:48] <Blue11> leonard: let me see if ifup works on a wlan
[04:48] <LinuxGuy2009> sambagirlx: Ok cool. Thanks.
[04:48] <Teknoenie> bucky, i understand that, but i'm looking for something like package-cleanup oldkernels where I can specify how many kernels to keep
[04:49] <baslisks> Blue11, yeah just getting a blinking cursor
[04:49] <sambagirlx> has anyone else discovered that you cant play anything with vlc in root or su mode?
[04:49] <Teknoenie> it automatically removes grub and kernel entries
[04:49] <rww> Philippe: now talk in here'
[04:49] <Blue11> baslisks: :-(
[04:49] <Philippe> k thanks
[04:49] <Blue11> leonard: yeah ifup/ifdown should do it.
[04:50] <leonard> rww,how to see ip address and mac address other people in the area wifi???
[04:50] <baslisks> any idea what I should do?
[04:50] <rww> leonard: no idea. ask the channel in general
[04:50] <Blue11> leonard: ifconfig
[04:50] <baslisks> gparted maybe
[04:50] <Blue11> leonard: oh other people....dunno
[04:51] <Blue11> sambagirlx: not recommened to run vlc as root - that might install a root kit.
[04:51] <sambagirlx> did it work linuxguy2009?
[04:51] <sambagirlx> ahh
[04:52] <Blue11> leonard: there
[04:52] <Philippe> oh yeah i got this micro sd card that i formatted , and when i try to move files to it it says (error while copying to "felipe")  the destination is read only
[04:52] <sambagirlx> to be honest the new vlc in windows version maybe osx version too has some crazy programs they include to help defray the dev costs i guess.
[04:52] <Blue11> leonard: there is always sneakernet
[04:52] <tehbaut> Blue11: looks like testdisk doesn't support copying on a file/directory level... it's more of a "recover deleted files" solution
[04:52] <derklempner> leonard: try Kismet -- http://www.kismetwireless.net/
[04:52] <derklempner> Philippe: so what are the permissions on the folder?
[04:52] <digirak> guys
[04:53] <derklempner> digirak
[04:53] <Blue11> tehbaut: yeah it is more a file recovery tool.  but I hadn't seen it in years...
[04:53] <digirak> can someone help me with the installation of libical
[04:53] <sacarlson> prod_: did you look at what different between the two users when you create them?  also I note that adduser is writen in perl, so if your a perl programer maybe you can look at that and maybe make your own version.  see file at /sbin/adduser
[04:53] <digirak> http://pastebin.com/e5ByDMkc
[04:53] <digirak> this is the error i am getting at the end
[04:54] <sambagirlx> linuxguy2009 did it work?
[04:54] <sacarlson> prod_: what version of ftp are you now using?
[04:54] <insmod> anyone know about gparted
[04:55] <sambagirlx> insmod what about it?
[04:55] <leonard> derklempner, how do you use?
[04:55] <prod_> sarcarlson :D i would never have looked at the language of adduser. well thought! i will try your ideas, i have used vsftpd proftpd ftpd and all give same results
[04:55] <derklempner> leonard: been a while, so i can't say for sure.  read the site for installation, support, and usage
[04:56] <derklempner> insmod: what do you need to know?
[04:56] <insmod> sambagirlx: i formatted a partition and now at boot then cmos says the disk is damaged and to back it up press F1 to continue
[04:56] <bucky> leonard, it's in the repos
[04:56] <insmod> derklempner: above
[04:56] <digirak> ping
[04:56] <digirak> anyone help?
[04:57] <KM0201> with what?
[04:57] <sambagirlx> insmod i have seen that before
[04:57] <insmod> derklempner: so is it just coincidence or can i fix it?
[04:57] <derklempner> digirak: did you Google the error?
[04:57] <digirak> i need help with installation of libical KM0201
[04:57] <optimad> hey in compiz some effects are laggy any way i can make them faster?
[04:57] <insmod> sambagirlx: so is it just coincidence and/or can i fix it?
[04:57] <digirak> derklempner: its not exactly an error

[04:58] <KM0201> digirak: unless i'm missing something, why are you compiling it? its in the repos.
[04:58] <insmod> sambagirlx: ok
[04:58] <sambagirlx> yeah i think that the mbr for windows is gone?
[04:58] <sambagirlx> brb
[04:58] <sacarlson> prod_: well I only wanted the one you are presently using,  so I will run a test on what I already have installed proftp
[04:58] <derklempner> insmod: what drive, what partition?
[04:58] <digirak> i did install it off the repos but the thing i am trying to build a KDEbuild
[04:59] <digirak> so am just following procedure
[04:59] <insmod> partition 3
[04:59] <prod_> yes proftpd im currently using
[04:59] <bucky> digirak, do you have make installed? how about build-essential
[04:59] <KM0201> digirak: what program ar eyou trying to compile?
[04:59] <digirak> bucky: yes make is installed
[04:59] <digirak> KM0201: libical
[05:00] <KM0201> digirak: thats not a program.... what depends on libical

[05:00] <creek23> hi all
[05:00] <digirak> KM0201: oh right no sorry about that, no i am trying to contribute to kstars
[05:00] <sambagirlx> insmod can you see hdd in bios?
[05:00] <derklempner> digirak: see if this helps --
[05:00] <derklempner> digirak: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=114669
[05:00] <insmod> sambagirlx: yes and it loads grub after F1
[05:01] <sambagirlx> ok
[05:01] <digirak> KM0201: so i need a build environ
[05:01] <Philippe> Hello??
[05:01] <sambagirlx> let me think what i did about that insmod i am trying to recall what i did
[05:01] <insmod> sambagirlx: ok
[05:01] <KM0201> digirak: if you have source repositories enabled... type this... sudo apt-get build-dep kstars   let it download/install anything it needs, then try to run .configure
[05:01] <KM0201> digirak: second, most of the time, configure does not need ran with sudo.
[05:02] <creek23> what's the equivalent of "type foo.txt" in bash? on windows, "type foo.txt" will display the content of "foo.txt" on the console... right now, I'm using "cat foo.txt" to do just that. is there a proper way to printout the content of "foo.txt" on console?
[05:02] <m1dn1ght>  /msg nickserv identify brodie
[05:02] <KM0201> digirak: you really only need sudo when you run sudo make install.
[05:02] <m1dn1ght> fe
[05:02] <KM0201> cuz all you'er doing up to that point, is compiling the package.
[05:02] <digirak> wow that was neat
[05:02] <rww> m1dn1ght: change your nickserv password. identify, then /msg nickserv set password newpasswordhere
[05:02] <sambagirlx> insmod do this in pm so i can ask questions better
[05:03] <bastidrazor> !checkinstall | KM0201 :: digirak ::
[05:03] <KB1JWQ> !pm | sambagirlx
[05:03] <bucky> creek23, what's wrong with cat? there's always less
[05:03] <derklempner> Philippe: what about execute?  is there a line or checkmark in the box?
[05:03] <sambagirlx> ok
[05:03] <KM0201> digirak: kstars has a package in the repositories... i'm assuming you're using a different version.. when you're compiling from source, and it has a package in the repositories, you can use build-dep to fetch the repositories
[05:03]  * sambagirlx laughs
[05:03] <sambagirlx> i thought it was off topic
[05:03] <Philippe> checkmark
[05:03] <KM0201> bastidrazor: what is your point?... i was just pointing out that sudo didn't need to be used w/ .configure
[05:03] <sambagirlx> brb insmod
[05:03] <digirak> KM0201: sounds good
[05:04] <digirak> i will try this and let you know KM0201
[05:04] <bastidrazor> KM0201: my point is checkinstall is a better route than make install
[05:04] <digirak> thanks a lot
[05:04] <KM0201> bastidrazor: but that wasn't the point of what i ws saying... he's following instructions for what hes doing
[05:04] <creek23> bucky, I just thought there's other command that does what I wanted... to simply display the file. cat seems intended for concatenating files.
[05:04] <bullgard4> How to test if I am using Grub 1 or Grub 2?
[05:05] <lewix> how can i copy folders to another folder
[05:05] <bastidrazor> KM0201: no need to feel you need to justify anything.
[05:05] <lewix> ho can i copy a folder to another folder from the terminal should i say
[05:05] <bastidrazor> bullgard4: grub-install --version
[05:05] <sambagirlx> was an os loaded on it when you did the partition insmod?
[05:05] <KM0201> bastidrazor: just not really sure why you triggered checkinstall on me, i know what checkinstall is...
[05:05] <bucky> creek23, there's less and more too
[05:06] <insmod> sambagirlx:no
[05:06] <sambagirlx> ahh ok
[05:06] <bullgard4> bastidrazor: Thank you for your help.
[05:06] <bastidrazor> bullgard4: you're welcome.
[05:06] <sambagirlx> insmod you had no os loaded at all?
[05:06] <creek23> ah... I see. so "less" is actually a command. so is "more" thanks. thanks.
[05:07] <sambagirlx> insmod how many partitions, are they all primary? that will cause an error. gparted will allow you to do things you should not do :)
[05:07] <rww> less > more
[05:07] <creek23> ciao.
[05:07] <insmod> sambagirlx:no
[05:07] <insmod> sambagirlx:let me see
[05:07] <sambagirlx> insmod no partitions were created with gparted?
[05:07] <bastidrazor> bullgard4: grub1.98 is grub2, just in case it might be confusing.
[05:07] <aperson> how do I prevent a service from starting on boot?
[05:07] <aperson> without a gui*
[05:08] <bullgard4> bastidrazor: I know that.
[05:08] <insmod> sambagirlx:just that one
[05:08] <bastidrazor> bullgard4: okay, :)
[05:08] <m1dn1ght> Hi guys - I'm attempting to install ubuntu 10.4 on a PC via a USB drive.  I am using unetbootin to install the image onto the drive.  The trouble I'm having is that the drive was previously used to load a different OS and now despite clearing all partitions in gparted and reformatting, the previous bootloader seems stuck in the USB mbr.  Any ideas how to clear it?
[05:08] <bastidrazor> aperson: rename the service to service-DISABLE in /etc/init.d/
[05:08] <bucky> aperson, update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove
[05:09] <bucky> man update-rc.d
[05:09] <sambagirlx> if the drive has no os what so ever insmod i would delete them.  what i would do then would be start over. it seems that windows has caused a problem. you mentioned ntfs partition.  windows has to have a 100mb paritition for 7 if your using that.
[05:09] <jsjgruber> m1dn1ght: what happens  when you try to boot the usb stick? do you get a message or anything?
[05:09] <joesutton> I'm trying to sync my iPod touch on Rhythmbox. There is 15GB free on the iPod, but it won't sync becase Rhythmbox seems to think it is full.
[05:10] <m1dn1ght> jsjgruber, yes, it starts loading the previous bootloader (Flashboot loader ver 2.0u) which was used to install windows on a different computer.  It then hangs because the rest of the drive is re-formatted.
[05:11] <aperson> bastidrazor, bucky, thanks
[05:12] <linoge> hi, anyone knows how to solve the sync problem between audio/video in guvcview?
[05:12] <bastidrazor> aperson: you're welcome.
[05:12] <jsjgruber> m1dn1ght: as far as I know, you can try "start up disk creator" in the administration pull down; I believe it will store a new mbr and it will format the first partition and load syslinux on it
[05:13] <m1dn1ght> jsjgruber, I'll give that a try now - thanks!  will let you know if it works or not
[05:13] <digirak> KM0201: hey its installed all the packages
[05:13] <KM0201> digirak: yeah, thats what its supposed to do.
[05:13] <KM0201> lol
[05:13] <digirak> KM0201: now where do i run the./configure?
[05:13] <arow> m1dn1ght: you might try the command grub-install
[05:13] <jsjgruber> m1dn1ght: after you do that you could probably go back to your preferred usb boot creator
[05:14] <linoge> or if there's a good webcam capturer? cheese goes slow as... slow
[05:14] <digirak> KM0201: i guessed that too ;)
[05:14] <KM0201> digirak: source directory of the program you downloaded
[05:14] <lewix> once i use sudo -i, how do i go back to being a user
[05:14] <aperson> lewix, exit
[05:14] <brokendatapoint> hi all just installed Ubunto 10.10 Netbook and have the lovely Gnome-Netbook DM, how doI get Xfce4? Install Xfce4?
[05:14] <KM0201> usually itlll be like   /path/to/folder/program_name
[05:14] <lewix> thank you aperson
[05:15] <lewix> nice nickname btw
[05:15] <derklempner> brokendatapoint: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop
[05:15] <tehbaut> is there any way to get details on which files are being processed when copying in nautilus?
[05:15] <m1dn1ght> arow, thanks - I'm giving jsjgruber's suggestion a whirl first, but will try yours if it fails.
[05:15] <derklempner> brokendatapoint: i mean sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[05:15] <brokendatapoint> derklempner: lubuntu? you mean x?
[05:15] <brokendatapoint> ah hah thanks
[05:15] <thejackal> hello
[05:15] <derklempner> brokendatapoint: lol yeah
[05:16] <brokendatapoint> derklempner: thanks man
[05:16] <derklempner> brokendatapoint: no worries
[05:16] <Curly_Q> Greets to all my friends. Question?  What is the command for clearing the up down arrow recall file? Is it a BASH file or a recent file?
[05:16] <prod_> sarcarlson: thank you so much for spottin that adduser is written in perl. I owe you a beer :)
[05:16] <jsjgruber> m1dn1ght: with either approach be careful to specify the correct drive :-)
[05:16] <digirak> KM0201: how do i find this directory
[05:16] <KM0201> digirak: did you download the source code?
[05:17] <m1dn1ght> jsjgruber, hehe, indeed
[05:17] <rww> Curly_Q: bash command history is stored in ~/.bash_history
[05:17] <digirak> KM0201: i just dit the apt-get in a particular directory
[05:17] <Curly_Q> Thanks rww.
[05:17] <brokendatapoint> the Gnome-Netbook Dm is great, puuuurty, simple but a bit laggy on 2GB Netbook
[05:17] <Curly_Q> I will check it.
[05:17] <derklempner> Curly_Q: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-212482.html
[05:17] <KM0201> no.. digirak when you're running ./configure, etc.. you need th source code of the program.. usually you download it from the homepage for the software
[05:17] <KM0201> !compile | digirak
[05:18] <digirak> KM0201: source code of Kstars?
[05:18] <KM0201> digirak: but kstars has a version in the repositories... why not just install that?
[05:18] <KM0201> yes
[05:18] <digirak> KM0201: hold on i dont understand my thing is i want to code for Kstars
[05:19] <KM0201> digirak: then you don't need ./configure.. thats what you use to compile the program from source
[05:19] <digirak> KM0201: so how do i get the source code for that
[05:19] <brokendatapoint> just wanted to say, have been trying to get Debian 64 Netbook, FreeBSD 8.1 & GnewSense to run on this machine ... fail! Ubuntu 10.10 installed/configured str8 up no worries ... love it!
[05:19] <Curly_Q> Derklempner thanks for that index. Good show.
[05:19] <digirak> oh ok
[05:19] <thejackal> Even after I save the x configuration file, my the setting I set wont save after i reset. Has anyone had this problem before?
[05:19] <derklempner> Curly_Q: no worries
[05:19] <aperson> brokendatapoint, gnome doesn't have a netbook interface, I believe you're talking about unity
[05:19] <KM0201> you need to install kstars... does kstars have a developer kit?... if so.. use it.. i'd seek out support from kstars, it's not really an ubuntu issue at this point
[05:19] <brokendatapoint> aperson: oh well, whatever, it looks like Meego, grid icon layout, neat though
[05:19] <digirak> KM0201: oh i c
[05:20] <m1dn1ght> jsjgruber, your solution worked as advertised, sir.  I'm installing via USB as I type this.  Many thanks once again.
[05:21] <jsjgruber> m1dn1ght: my pleasure, np
[05:21] <lewix> for some reasons i can edit a file. how can i work around it
[05:21] <KM0201> digitalfiz: http://edu.kde.org/kstars/     try searching their support docs
[05:21] <aperson> here's a toughie - anyone care to help me troubleshoot why I can't get sound working from my ubuntu-minimal install?  there's so much to go through I don't know where to start asking questions
[05:21] <lewix> can i change the properties from read only to whatever?
[05:21] <xangua> aperson: install pulseaudio
[05:22] <aperson> xangua, done that
[05:22] <lewix> how  do you change the properties of a gile that is on read only
[05:22] <lewix> file*
[05:22] <Curly_Q> Nice command      history -c
[05:23] <aperson> Curly_Q, ctrl+r
[05:23] <lewix> history -c?
[05:23] <jsjgruber> digirak: you can get the source code for just about any package you get in a ubuntu repository. The command is apt-get source packagename. There's information on getting dependencies and commands to build in the ubuntu wiki
[05:23] <vikas> QUESTION: I'm unable to hear sound on Ubuntu 10.10.  I guess its coz of sound-drivers,if its so please tell me how to install in it?
[05:23] <LinuxGuy2009> Ok I figured out pyneighborhood, I edited the launcher to include gksudo and now it mounts the NAS shares just fine. They are added to /etc/mtab which is a list of mounted filesystems from what I read. But when i reboot, my NAS shares are no longer mounted. Can I copy and paste the lines from /etc/mtab and paste them to the bottom of /etc/fstab and that will make them permanent or are they formatted differently?
[05:24] <bastidrazor> lewix: what file and how are you trying to edit it?
[05:24] <lewix> /var/www/
[05:24] <arow> lewix: go into the terminal, locate your file, and run sudo chmod u+w
[05:24] <arow> oh, wait
[05:24] <lewix> thank you
[05:24] <brokendatapoint> why is the default Package Manager for Ubuntu, Apt-get and not Aptitude?
[05:24] <aperson> brokendatapoint, to save space on the install cd
[05:24] <lewix> arow, you mean sudo chmod g+w
[05:25] <aperson> brokendatapoint, also, apt-get is not a package manager
[05:25] <sambagirlx> is there a pastebin for png files?
[05:25] <bastidrazor> lewix: that is a directory not a file.
[05:25] <brokendatapoint> it makes that much difference?
[05:25] <xangua> sambagirlx: imagebin
[05:25] <aperson> brokendatapoint, apparently.  First thing I do is install aptitude
[05:25] <brokendatapoint> aperson: it is not? me too...
[05:25] <bucky> brokendatapoint, what's wrong with synaptic?
[05:25] <prod_> sarcarlson, what would be the best way to compare the 2 users i make to test?
[05:25] <jsjgruber> vikas: if you need certain drivers for sound, if they are part of the kernel they should be loaded automatically as part of booting up. I've had trouble with my sound card being muted before. It's probably worth looking at properties in the sound menu and looking at the various sound resources it can control and how they are set
[05:25] <lewix> bastidrazor, i mean /var/www/foo
[05:25] <rww> sambagirlx: http://imagebin.org/
[05:25] <aperson> bucky, you have to use it via a gui for one
[05:25] <drthoth> I have a broadcom 4306r2 14e4:4320, installed b43-legacy, enabled the proprietary driver, rebooted. wlan0 show sup, gets mac, and ip but can't route and it's rated @ 1Mbps. It also gives me an error with an alias in jockey.log
[05:26] <brokendatapoint> bucky: could not give definitive answer, just like Aptitude via CLI
[05:26] <bastidrazor> lewix: okay, how are you trying to edit it? gedit, nano, vim?
[05:26] <sambagirlx> thank you rww
[05:26] <lewix> bastidrazor, gedit
[05:26] <brokendatapoint> which is what aperson said
[05:27] <bastidrazor> lewix: in a terminal or alt+F2 dialog type gksudo gedit /var/www/foo
[05:27] <bucky> brokendatapoint, i got aptitude.. let me guess.. it only installs it by default when you install synaptic
[05:27] <vikas> jsjgruber: I have checked everything. I went to SYSTEM>PREFERENCES> SOUNDS. There everything seems to be okk..
[05:28] <aperson> bucky, no
[05:28] <lewix> bastidrazor, thanks i just got it now. i was reading the file permissions on linux
[05:29] <brokendatapoint> bucky: i do not use Synaptic unless I use the Auto Update feature, Aptitude is simple, fast, can be run remotely, so i like it
[05:29] <bastidrazor> lewix: i'm not sure what you mean by that but you're welcome.
[05:30] <jsjgruber> vikas: if you right click on the speaker in the panel at the top right of your screen, you can bring up sound preferences (probably the same as what you found in the menu). If you go to the hardware tag you can check for mute and test your speakers
[05:32] <Curly_Q> Does anyone here have a Linux command cheat sheet link?
[05:32] <brokendatapoint> Xfce4 is installed, logging in, what is the difference between an Xfce session and an Xubuntu session?
[05:32] <lewix> bastidrazor, thank you. can you enlighten me with the group administrator thingie because I dont get it
[05:33] <vikas> jsjgruber: There isn't any icon???

[05:33] <jsjgruber> vikas: I'm sorry. Icon for what?

[05:34] <prod_> sarcarlson, i have looked in /etc/passwd and found adduser:x:1004:1005:,,,:/home/adduser:/bin/bash
[05:34] <prod_> useradd:x:1005:1004::/home/useradd:/bin/sh
[05:34] <Curly_Q> Nice tip. I found one at:  http://www.digilife.be/quickreferences/QRC/The%20One%20Page%20Linux%20Manual.pdf
[05:34] <vikas> jsjgruber: the icon for the speakers in top right....
[05:34] <Curly_Q> Thanks.
[05:35] <Guest34868> Hi ! some one has ekiga voip software installed and 2 minutes ????
[05:35] <brokendatapoint> Curly_Q: De rien
[05:35] <prod_> the differences are obvios but it means nothing to me :S
[05:35] <thejackal> Why is it that even though I save the xorg.conf that the nvidia settings app makes, I still can't use 2 monitors?
[05:35] <setuid> Anyone know how I can configure themes in gdm? The gdm in 10.10 has no theme capability. Why was that removed?
[05:36] <bastidrazor> lewix: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions will explain better than i.
[05:36] <lewix> thanks
[05:36] <k4g6> thejackal: have you tried setting up multiple monitors through the nvidia-settings gui
[05:36] <setuid> gdm-config is gone, rep;laced by a generic 'gdmsetup', which has no themeing
[05:36] <xangua> setuid: because it was re-writen
[05:36] <setuid> xangua, gutted is more like it
[05:36] <setuid> xangua, 90% of the functionality was stripped out
[05:36] <jsjgruber> you should have an icon that looks like a speaker with sound waves coming out of it at the top right of your screen. It doesn't matter, though it is the same as the sound menu under "preferences" if you go there and go to the hardware tab you can check the mute setting and volume and you can press the test button to bring up the speaker test
[05:37] <Philippe> mmm hi again  am really new to ubuntu and am having a problem with a micro ds card , i formated it and put some files on it then i took it out and   put it back in  and i can't put any new files on it says "error the destination is read only"
[05:37] <thejackal> yes I saved it and then i reset x and it reverted back to the old version
[05:37] <NetriX_> anyone know why upgrading to Gnome 3 freezes my computer?
[05:37] <lewix> bastidrazor, its what i read it doesnt explain the difference
[05:37] <tehbaut> someone please help me figure out why my numpad is doing everything BUT typing numbers!
[05:37] <tehbaut> it's doing some funky stuff, that's for sure
[05:37] <xangua> is still theameble, just not that way setuid
[05:37] <vikas> jsjgruber: ok
[05:37] <xangua> NetriX_: because gnome 3 is not still launched D: are you fron the future¿
[05:37] <thejackal> Tehbaut- is it a zboard or merc?
[05:37] <Curly_Q> Thanks brokendatapoint. Good link.
[05:38] <Philippe> anyone?
[05:39] <xangua> Philippe: is your sd cards one of there that has a lock button¿
[05:39] <daniel_> what is the name of the dvd burner
[05:39] <NetriX_> i see.. I was just wondering because I seen a Youtube video and a guy had it installed on ubuntu 10.10
[05:39] <xangua> mmm how do you say in english, slider¿¿
[05:39] <NetriX_> I followed his instructions and got a frozen screen
[05:39] <xangua> daniel_ brasero¿
[05:39] <Philippe> no is a micro sd
[05:39] <Philippe> its*
[05:40] <setuid> xangua, so how do I configure them?
[05:40] <vikas> jsjgruber: I have checked everything. Nothing is mute. I have put sound to highest level in it & now my speakers are also at highest level. still no sound.
[05:40] <daniel_> i meant ripper
[05:40] <daniel_> sry
[05:40] <santhosh> hey guys pls tell me how to copy text from vi
[05:40] <jsjgruber> vikas: do you know how to bring up and use the command line?
[05:40] <santhosh> hey guys pls tell me how to copy text from vi editor to clipboard, no gui only command line
[05:40] <KirkMcDonald> santhosh: "*yy
[05:40] <xangua> setuid: you can change the gtk themes and other stuff; can't remember how to but i find out in google
[05:40] <Curly_Q> If the command shutdown r-5 is entered does the BIOS need to be preset for that?
[05:40] <bastidrazor> lewix: all does not exist as a permission. permissions are 1 of 3 things: owner group or other. other  means anyone who is not an owner or in the group.
[05:41] <vikas> no, please tell me, if you can?
[05:41] <KirkMcDonald> santhosh: Assuming you mean vim, I don't think plain vi can do it.
[05:41] <santhosh> oh
[05:41] <santhosh> i meant vi
[05:41] <setuid> xangua, it's not the gtk theme... I need to theme gdm, not gtk
[05:41] <santhosh> can i get vim thro sudo apt-get vim
[05:41] <Curly_Q> In other words in sleep mode?
[05:42] <Philippe> xangua: no it doesnt have a lock button
[05:42] <jsjgruber> santhosh: if you are in a terminal window in a regular session you can simply hightlight what you want to copy and use the drop down menu of the terminal program.
[05:42] <bastidrazor> santhosh: sudo apt-get install vim
[05:42] <Philippe> xangua: hey do you speak spanish?
[05:42]  * setuid finds "ubuntu-tweak" and instralls that
[05:42] <santhosh> guys am running a server here
[05:42] <santhosh> so theres not terminal
[05:43] <santhosh> only plain command line not even mouse pointer to select
[05:43] <IR5273> Hey wazap
[05:43] <santhosh> and ctrl arraw doesnt selecgt text too
[05:43] <NetriX_> Hey IR
[05:43] <setuid> santhosh, and?
[05:43] <Apocalypsepony> where u from?
[05:43] <setuid> santhosh, Most of us run Linux like that
[05:43] <jsjgruber> vikas: first go to Applications->Accessories->Terminal
[05:43] <xangua> Philippe: yes, for¿
[05:43] <lewix> bastidrazor, how can a file belong to a user group
[05:44] <vikas> jbjgruber: I'm there..
[05:44] <bucky> santhosh, sudo apt-get install vim
[05:44] <santhosh> setuid: im a newbie to linux server
[05:44] <ray_> hi all
[05:44] <santhosh> and i am not able to do all thse command line programs
[05:44] <NetriX_> Hey Ray,, whats up?
[05:44] <Philippe> xangua:  le seria mas facil explicarme en español? por q a mi si
[05:44] <bastidrazor> santhosh: type vimtutor ..it will explain everything you need to learn.
[05:44] <santhosh> bucky: i have vim now
[05:44] <ray_> not much..u?
[05:44] <lewix> bastidrazor, i understand that a file belongs to a user, but how can it belong to a group
[05:44] <bastidrazor> lewix: reading that page will explain permissions.
[05:44] <jsjgruber> That new window is where you can enter commands. Please try alsaplay   -l
[05:45] <brokendatapoint> bastidrazor: for a newb, do you think Vi/Vim is the *best* editor to use?
[05:45] <NetriX_> same.. pretty much lol
[05:45] <xangua> Philippe: /join #ubuntu-es
[05:45] <RickyT> Hi all,  Is anyone able to tell me how to get rid of the damn ExecutableBit?
[05:45] <santhosh> vimulator command not found
[05:45] <Michael4552> This is the cyber police. You dun goof'd. bill gates has back traced you and reported you to us. What did you guys do now?
[05:45] <ray_> been playing with ubuntu for a couple days and i love it...
[05:45] <bastidrazor> brokendatapoint: if they do the vimtutor then yes, vim is very great for a new user.
[05:45] <Madpilot> brokendatapoint, for a genuine new user? Nano.
[05:45] <santhosh> guys can some one direct me to any link where i can learn basic text operations like cut copy and paste in pure command line pls
[05:45] <Madpilot> Michael4552, go attempt to be funny elsewhere, please.
[05:45] <Philippe> xangua: ohhhh i didnt knew that thank you
[05:45] <brokendatapoint> Madpilot: my thoughs exactly
[05:45] <NetriX_> I hear ya.. I dropped Windows 7 2 days ago and started ubuntu meerkat
[05:45] <brokendatapoint> thoughts* even
[05:46] <NetriX_> Got the infamous blue screen
[05:46] <brokendatapoint> CLI is interesting enough without trying to drive Vi/Vim
[05:47] <vikas> jbjgruber: then
[05:47] <Madpilot> ubottu, tell santhosh about cli
[05:47] <RickyT> That's a "no" then?
[05:47] <jsjgruber> did it display anything? it should give you a list of devices you could play a sound on
[05:47] <bucky> santhosh, if you install gpm you'll get a cursor you can cut and paste  with
[05:47] <brokendatapoint> Madpilot: wd
[05:47] <Madpilot> brokendatapoint, wd?
[05:47] <vikas> jbjgruber: i have typed -          alsaplay -|
[05:47] <santhosh> Madpilot: i dont have menus or accessories menus or naything its a server version
[05:48] <santhosh> bucky: do i get cursor in server version
[05:48] <santhosh> how to install gpm
[05:48] <brokendatapoint> Madpilot: Well Done
[05:48] <jsjgruber> vikas: that should be alsaplay -l      (it is a dash followed immediately by a lower case l
[05:48] <santhosh> sudo apt-get install gpm?
[05:48] <KirkMcDonald> santhosh: My recommendation is to ssh into the machine from another computer.
[05:48] <bucky> yes
[05:48] <Madpilot> santhosh, there's links to further reading at the URLs the bot just sent you, check them.
[05:48] <Curly_Q> Brokendatapoint I have found that GVIM is quite the program with a GUI in mind. vi is OK for SSH or remote logging in.
[05:48] <santhosh> KirkMcDonald: that is waht im  doing
[05:48] <brokendatapoint> bucky: if santhosh is asking about getting a cursor, oh dear
[05:48] <ray_> so far so good! I didnt realize how easy to install x86 & x64 Ubunta Desktop on my laptop and desktop pc...
[05:48] <bastidrazor> santhosh: then skip how to get to a terminal/CLI and read the bits about using CLI
[05:48] <santhosh> KirkMcDonald: i am using windows 7 and using the git bash to ssh into the linux server
[05:49] <KirkMcDonald> santhosh: I recommend PuTTY as a Windows ssh client.
[05:49] <RickyT> Then i shall leave you with the wonderful words  FUCK YOU EXECUTABLEBIT!!!
[05:49] <bucky> brokendatapoint, you've always got to install gpm to get a cursor in a console
[05:49] <gpc> !language | RickyT
[05:49] <Sina3> hi guys
[05:50] <hilarie> What's the hotkey to show hidden folders?
[05:50] <vikas> I typed L in small letters after dash(-) but its saying :   alsaplay: command not found.
[05:50] <ray_> hey
[05:50] <brokendatapoint> bucky: i know but he needs some CLI learning first, any ways
[05:50] <Curly_Q> KirkMcDonald have you tried Tectia SSH? I use it and it cost but it is fantastic.
[05:50] <bastidrazor> hilarie: in nautilus: ctrl H
[05:50] <Sina3> my teacher put ubuntu on my school computer
[05:50] <jsjgruber> vikas: oh dear. just a second
[05:50] <Sina3> but im not a super user
[05:50] <hilarie> @bastidrazor TY!
[05:50] <NetriX_> Ray, did you receive my personal message?
[05:50] <KirkMcDonald> Curly_Q: Never heard of it.
[05:50] <Sina3> is there anyway to upgrade my account
[05:50] <Curly_Q> Check it out.
[05:50] <bastidrazor> hilarie: you're welcome
[05:50] <Sina3> or find out the password for his?
[05:50] <santhosh> brokendatapoint: i ve working in CLI's for a long time with just commands and cron jobs
[05:50] <vikas> jsjgruber: okk
[05:50] <Sina3> without him knowing?
[05:51] <Curly_Q> It is a Windows app that works great with Linux.
[05:51] <Madpilot> Sina3, a existing superuser can upgrade another user. And please don't ask about "hacking" here, OK?
[05:51] <Curly_Q> I think they have a Linux app too.
[05:51] <santhosh> brokendatapoint: its just strange to know that a total console can have a mouse cursor
[05:51] <brokendatapoint> santhosh: yes it is but handy and weird enough to be *fun*
[05:51] <Curly_Q> It also works with tunneling.
[05:51] <nexes> Sina3: They would, of course, be able to check your rights at any point, unless you were to revert your account prior to any opportunity they would have to access the machine.
[05:52] <jsjgruber> vikas: I'm sorry. My memory isn't so good. Does   aplay -l   give you anything?
[05:52] <Sina3> nexes, i dont think he would check
[05:52] <hilarie> How can I open a read only file GUI like? The way I am doing it currently is "sudo gedit" and then find through its built in menu, what I would like to do is right click the text file I am trying to edit
[05:52] <santhosh> brokendatapoint: im getting an error gpm installation E:sub-process usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code(1)
[05:52] <bucky> Sina3, i had a cisco instructor that forgot to change the default root passwd
[05:52] <nexes> Sina3: Is it a school issue machine?
[05:52] <vikas> jsjgruber: no buddy, it said alsaplay: command not found.
[05:52] <Sina3> nexes, yes it is
[05:52] <Philippe> hello anyone know hot to deal with permisions on an micro sd card?
[05:53] <Madpilot> bucky, stuff like that would be another reason Ubuntu has no active root account...
[05:53] <brokendatapoint> santhosh: you are in a terminal or a console?
[05:53] <Sina3> but i asked him to put ubuntu on it
[05:53] <nexes> Sina3: Why specifically do you want root on it?
[05:53] <xangua> hilarie: not good isea using sudo with a graphic aplication, use gksu instead
[05:53] <santhosh> console
[05:53] <santhosh> brokendatapoint: console
[05:53] <Sina3> nexes, install google chrome
[05:53] <Sina3> and other usefull programs.
[05:53] <jsjgruber> vikas: could you try aplay    -l instead?    it should be aplay, not alsaplay.
[05:53] <Sina3> nothing bad.
[05:53] <brokendatapoint> k, type this cmd and start fresh => cd && clear
[05:53] <KirkMcDonald> Philippe: Which filesystem is on there? If it's FAT (which I would expect) there wouldn't really be any permissions.
[05:53] <bucky> Madpilot, what's the default passwd for ubuntu if you make one during install?
[05:53] <Sina3> im 15 and i like the computer i use, i dont want to break it
[05:53] <jsjgruber> vikas: sorry for misleading you with the alsaplay thing.
[05:53] <hilarie> GKSU so I would do "gksu gedit"?
[05:54] <nexes> Sina3: I would just ask him to either install the applications for you, or to set up the machine in a way to allow you to install software without having unrestricted root access.
[05:54] <bucky> Madpilot, *dont' make one
[05:54] <yuanjie> hi
[05:54] <Philippe> yes fat so i dont know what happende i took it out and now i cant put anything in it
[05:54] <Madpilot> bucky, there is no default PW. The liveCD/desktop is passwordless, the install will not continue AFAIK if you don't give it a pw
[05:54] <thejackal> Hey i have a new question how can I delete the xorg.conf
[05:54] <vikas> jbjgruber:  ya, it worked.. :D
[05:54] <thauriswulfa2> QUESTION:after closing apt-get by pressing ctrl-z its still running in the background as is visible form system monitor its still downloading is there any way to stop it
[05:54] <santhosh> brokendatapoint: im still getting the same error
[05:54] <Sina3> nexes, how do i do that?
[05:54] <yuanjie> how i can in chinese channel?
[05:54] <vikas> jabjgruber: oh not issue..
[05:54] <bastidrazor> thejackal: sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:54] <KirkMcDonald> thauriswulfa2: You can use the 'fg' command to bring it back.
[05:54] <Sina3> nexes can we PM?
[05:54] <Philippe> i could format it again dont know if that would help?
[05:55] <KirkMcDonald> thauriswulfa2: Then quit it.
[05:55] <vikas> jbjgruber: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
[05:55] <brokendatapoint> santhosh: ok, type => whoami
[05:55] <nexes> Sina3: There is a way allow users to install packages with aptitude, I believe. Regardless, if he had to install Ubuntu for you, it likely means that the machine has the BIOS locked, correct? It wouldn't boot from a CD so you could install Ubuntu yourself, yeah?

[05:56] <brokendatapoint> k, have you configured your system to use sudo?
[05:56] <Dead_Storage> wait, why does about ubuntu say i am on 11.04?
[05:57] <santhosh> yep
[05:57] <jsjgruber> vikas: that tells us that the kernel found your device and a driver for it. There's still the question why don't you hear anything. Please give me another minute.
[05:57] <santhosh> this this isnot a sudo error
[05:57] <thauriswulfa2> KirkMcDonald: its saying no such job, but n/w is still downloading
[05:57] <Dead_Storage> released april 2011
[05:57] <Curly_Q> Phillippe how did you format your disk?
[05:57] <Dead_Storage> i am in future ubuntu

[05:57] <Madpilot> Dead_Storage, known error. Entertaining one, though.
[05:57] <brokendatapoint> hey dudes, is there a Chinese Ubuntu channel?
[05:57] <KirkMcDonald> thauriswulfa2: You need to run fg in the same terminal that it was running in previously.
[05:57] <arow> Dead_Storage: how did you upgrade?

[05:58] <Madpilot> brokendatapoint, ^

[05:58] <thauriswulfa2> KirkMcDonald: but i have closed that terminal
[05:58] <Curly_Q> Philippe what OS did you format your disk with?
[05:58] <KirkMcDonald> thauriswulfa2: Huh.  There are alphas out of 11.04 if you're feeling very brave. This early in the alpha releases, I gather the brokenness is epic.
[05:59] <brokendatapoint> santhosh: what does this cmd do? => sudo apt-get update
[06:00] <santhosh> brokendatapoint: ive run it
[06:00] <santhosh> its says uptodate
[06:00] <Madpilot> santhosh, the bot is the smartest being in this channel :)
[06:00] <Dead_Storage> Madpilot, yeah i really dont want to deal with that
[06:00] <thauriswulfa2> vikas: because i also had the same problem previously
[06:00] <Dead_Storage> Madpilot, thats why i have waited to install 10.10
[06:00] <vikas> ruk na ek banda hai...
[06:01] <Dead_Storage> Madpilot, brokeness=not fun

[06:03] <madsailor> hi all. I'm running dualboot win7 + ubuntu, and just did a Gentoo install on my spare partition for some extra linux (joy??).  I ran sudo grub-update and it updated grub.cfg, and listed the 2 win parts, ubuntu kernel and gentoo kernel, but when I reboot only the win and ubuntu are available on the grub list.Ideas?
[06:03] <thauriswulfa2> come to private chat i know its solution
[06:03] <jsjgruber> vikas: that looks right. You should have heard something from that. I guess I'm out of ideas for now. thauriswulfa2 any ideas for vikas not hearing sound from his speakers?
[06:03] <yuanjie> i want to make friends with foreigners!

[06:07] <sexcopter> hi, i'm trying to get a command to run after my laptop wakes from suspend, but the command (wget) needs to wait to get back online before it will work. I don't really know bash, but put this together: http://pastebin.com/P1NhkB3H    It seems to work, except that the network manager seems to be waiting for the script to exit before coming back online, so it never comes online and the script never moves on. Any suggestions? I'm sure there's
[06:07] <sexcopter> a much better way than what I'm doing...
[06:07] <bazhang> daniel_, yes
[06:07] <thauriswulfa2> do this
[06:08] <daniel_> is it pretty easy to use and were will it be downlouded to i used my terminal to dl it
[06:08] <bazhang> daniel_, try it
[06:08] <sexcopter> oh, and this script sits in /etc/pm/sleep.d/99-update-wallpaper.sh
[06:09] <bastidrazor> ChessTeach: see why its crashing in ~/.xsession-errors
[06:09] <The-Kernel> how do you figure out with /dev/ is the onboard serial console port?
[06:09] <vikas> sexcopter: really nice name buddy... :D
[06:09] <Guest12261> !ftp
[06:10] <sexcopter> vikas, thanks... have used it for _many_ years now :)
[06:10] <ChessTeach> bastidrazor: it isn't crashing, the computer doesn't see any keystrokes and logs me out
[06:10] <santhosh> im trying to use scp from my local to send files to remote
[06:10] <santhosh> im getting an error lost connection
[06:10] <santhosh> can any one tell me
[06:10] <bastidrazor> ChessTeach: "logs me out" is not normal, something must be crashing.
[06:11] <ChessTeach> ok
[06:11] <santhosh> this is the command i use scp -r localdir -p 1234 username@remote.ip.address:remotedir
[06:11] <ChessTeach> hold on
[06:11] <red2kic> HI. I'M EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH LOWERCASE IN IRSSI. I PRINT AWESOME CHARACTERS. WHAT MAY BE THE TRIGGER AND HOW DO I FIX IT? :ᐅ
[06:11] <santhosh> this is the command i use scp -r localdir -p 1234 username@remote.ip.address:remotedir
[06:11] <bazhang> red2kic, please stop the nonsense
[06:11] <ubunturocks> wow, hardcore caps
[06:11] <ubunturocks> heh
[06:11] <red2kic> bazhang: I AM NOT KIDDING.
[06:11] <rww> red2kic: /join #irssi, ask there instead of here. I say this mainly because I'm not in #irssi.

[06:13] <gobbe> and what is your problem?-)
[06:13] <daniel_> how long will this take ?
[06:13] <ChessTeach> bastidrazor: any idea what that means?
[06:15] <ChessTeach> bastidrazor: by logging me out, I don't mean it closes my programs down, only locks the screen... i don't know if that was clear
[06:16] <bastidrazor> ChessTeach: logging me out was misleading if you meant locks screen.
[06:16] <ChessTeach> bastidrazor: i appologize
[06:16] <thauriswulfa2> QUESTION : Is it possible to transfer files through empathy on irc
[06:17] <totem> thauriswulfa2: yes
[06:17] <Sc0tt> Hey guys pretty new to irc still is this the channel to ask general questions about ubuntu?
[06:17] <bastidrazor> ChessTeach: you're watching things in flash? flash is buggy to say the least.
[06:18] <ChessTeach> bastidrazor: yeah... hulu
[06:18] <Madpilot> Sc0tt, pretty much. This is the tech support channel.
[06:18] <Dead_Storage> Sc0tt, yeah it is
[06:18] <Dead_Storage> I have a question, whats a good channel to just talk tech
[06:18] <KirkMcDonald> Dangit. I think one of these hard drives is a dud.
[06:18] <KirkMcDonald> kernel: [ 6535.214044] md/raid:md0: read error not correctable (sector 366872272 on sda1).
[06:18] <Dead_Storage> one that has a fair ammount of users
[06:18] <maco> Dead_Storage: ubuntu has an offtopic channel:  #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:19] <ChessTeach> bastidrazor: is there anything i can do?
[06:19] <bastidrazor>  ChessTeach i do not know how to improve performance.
[06:20] <Dead_Storage> maco, thanks :D
[06:20] <Sc0tt> I've been having major issues with my display driver I spent the day trying to follow the guide onhttp://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Maverick_Installation_Guide  to no avail  is there an easier way to go about this?
[06:20] <ChessTeach> i guess then i just need to disable auto screen lock?
[06:20] <Psyclone> my external hard drive won't stay mounted, any suggestions?
[06:21] <bazhang> put in fstab Psyclone
[06:21] <bazhang> !fstab > Psyclone
[06:21] <Psyclone> bazhang : gedit /etc/fstab
[06:22] <bastidrazor> ChessTeach: that doesn't mean its not possible. give good details of the issue to the channel, someone might know. details mean what applications you're using and exact details to what it breaks/does.
[06:23] <ChessTeach> ok
[06:23] <bastidrazor> Psyclone: prepend that with gksudo
[06:23] <Psyclone> bastidrazor : and how do i find the UUID to add to it
[06:23] <bastidrazor> Psyclone: sudo blkid in a terminal
[06:24] <ChessTeach> i was using firefox 3.6 and watching an episode off of hulu, i have the flash/block add on installed (not sure if that is what is causing problems). I watch the episode and works pretty well, then the screen greys slightly and next thing i know i need to log in
[06:25] <Psyclone> bastidrazor : ok i found it, now just copy and paste?
[06:25] <ChessTeach> also often when i go to full screen the video stops playing but the audio continues
[06:25] <Psyclone> bastidrazor : i think its having trouble because its ntfs
[06:25] <arow> ChessTeach: is it actually asking for your login or just your password when that happens?
[06:25] <ChessTeach> if i move quick enough sometimes i can move the mouse before it locks me out, but i stil have to exit full screen first
[06:25] <ChessTeach> just the password arow
[06:26] <xorwhy> I'm trying to play open arena in windowed mode, so that I can play that, and do other things at the same time. As far as I'm aware, the game takes full input from the mouse and keyboard. Is there any way I can leave the game running and click on windows outside of the game?
[06:26] <bastidrazor> Psyclone: read the page on fstab about how to add an ntfs entry to you fstab.
[06:26] <Dead_Storage> Psyclone, ntfs shouldent be a problem
[06:26] <Guest12261> how can i list the program using a specific port?
[06:26] <markoso> hi im trying sudo chown -R mark www saysno such dir or file?
[06:27] <bastidrazor> Guest12261: sudo netstat napt | grep port
[06:27] <arow> ChessTeach: that's normal behavior; if you had a screensaver set, it would go to that
[06:27] <bartj> how do I specify to retrieve/undelete open office files in scalpel ?
[06:27] <bastidrazor> markoso: you're in the /var directory?
[06:27] <ChessTeach> arow: well it should detect fullscreen and not do that though right? isn't there a way to configure that
[06:27] <markoso> bastidrazor: yes var www
[06:28] <js__> Hi..Just test driving IRC channel..I am first time using  IRC
[06:28] <arow> ChessTeach: unfortunately, it seems Ubuntu doesn't recognize Flash's fullscreen
[06:28] <arow> there is a handy little applet to temporarily disable the srceensaver though, give me a sec
[06:29] <bastidrazor> markoso: wait.. if you have "saysno" on the end of the command it thinks you want to edit that directory too
[06:29] <ChessTeach> cool
[06:29] <dolarput> UBUNTU!

[06:30] <arow> ChessTeach: you can right click on your panel and click 'add to panel,' then find the Power Manager Inhibit Applet
[06:31] <bastidrazor> markoso: sudo chown -R username /var/www   ::that will make www and EVERYTHING in that directory owned by username..of course change the username to your user.
[06:31] <arow> then just click that, and it won't go to screensaver

[06:44] <A_J> hello all, i need help installing an application : Here is the link http://parano.berlios.de/

[06:46] <mattalexx> I'm trying to globally deny all requests to my server from any IP except for <IP_ADDRESS>. Which file in /etc/apache should be changed to make this happen?
[06:46] <A_J> and extracted it on my desktop

[06:49] <sacarlson> mattalexx: I found this http://www.proxyutza.com/apache-restrict-access-to-certain-directory-by-ip/
[06:49] <Blue11> ajah: no virtualbox sits under linux and allow you to boot within the virtual box.  do you want dualboot maybe?
[06:50] <ajah> Blue11, yeah
[06:50] <ubuser> Can someone please, help me reinstall firefox
[06:50] <arow> ubuser: you should be able to use "sudo apt-get install firefox"
[06:50] <ubuser> i click on my short cut and its gone
[06:50] <ubuser> okay
[06:50] <ubuser> simple enough
[06:50] <Blue11> ajah: dual boot would allow you to have like windows and linux on the same hard drive, and you would choose at boot time (grub) which one you wanted.  is that what you want?
[06:50] <col0ur> Hello. I'm trying to install 10.10 Netbook Remix via USB, but the install is stuck on the page "Preparing to install Ubuntu Netbook." Any suggestions?
[06:51] <Madpilot> ubuser, is firefox itself gone, or just your shortcut?
[06:51] <ubuser> well i searched for firefox
[06:51] <ajah> Blue11, i want multy boot and install the new os on the hard disc without quiting the ubuntu i know how to install another os in ordinary way
[06:51] <Blue11> col0ur: i had similiar difficulties I ended up just installing the regular version.  be aware that the netbook remix for 10.10 installs iirc the unity interface.
[06:51] <arow> apt-get should tell you if you've already got it installed
[06:51] <ubuser> but kinda still new to linux and there are no exe's ... i tried clickin them all but nothin worked
[06:52] <ubuser> its saying its still on there
[06:52] <Blue11> ajah: sorry i dont know how to do that, other then virtualbox.
[06:52] <ubuser> but i have completely removed them all from sypnatic
[06:52] <ubuser> and reinstalled them
[06:52] <col0ur> Blue1, iirc unity being...?
[06:52] <ubuser> now im stuck with a shitty one
[06:52] <Blue11> col0ur: its a new interface that ubuntu is developing
[06:53] <ubuser> plus flash
[06:53] <Sc0tt> has anyone in here had experience upgrading gfx drivers in ubuntu i'm completely stumped followed guides and nothings works for me
[06:53] <col0ur> ah..
[06:53] <ubuser> teh still dont work
[06:53] <Blue11> col0ur: i played with it long enough to know it wasnt for me.
[06:53] <col0ur> Blue1, Unity replaces?
[06:53] <Blue11> col0ur: gnome or kde
[06:53] <Madpilot> ubuser, in the terminal, type "firefox" (no quotes) - what happens?
[06:53] <bazhang> col0ur, traditional gnome
[06:53] <ubuser> no command
[06:53] <col0ur> ah
[06:53] <col0ur> so just try the regular version you're saying?
[06:53] <ubuser> not a command*
[06:54] <bazhang> col0ur, yep
[06:54] <Blue11> col0ur: if your looking for the traditional interface, yes
[06:54] <bazhang> ubuser, whats the exact error
[06:54] <col0ur> bazhang, well see there's a problem with that
[06:54] <ubuser> bash: firefox: command not found
[06:55] <Madpilot> ubuser, "sudo apt-get install firefox" will get it back
[06:55] <ubuser> having to use epiphany
[06:55] <bazhang> ubuser, open the package manager and install it then
[06:55] <ubuser> any other suggestions
[06:55] <ubuser> completely deleted them
[06:55] <ubuser> and reinstalled
[06:55] <col0ur> i have  a Broadcom card. i need to modprobe wl to make it work, which is fine. and earlier, as i had a casper on my netbook remix version, and so i connected to a wired connection, got the module, and used it for my wireless.
[06:55] <ubuser> took a minute to get my repositories yayness.
[06:56] <Blue11> ubuser: have you tried sudo dpkg -i firefox
[06:56] <Madpilot> ubuser, you shouldn't have to do anything to the repositories to get Firefox back again.
[06:56] <col0ur> but for a number of reasons i have no access to a wired connection atm, and so i'd be left without internet for a time, and thus wouldn't be able to update.
[06:56] <ubuser> i know i just got teh net
[06:56] <col0ur> Also, does selecting "Ubuntu Desktop Edition" from the Netbook Remix login window revert back to Gnome?
[06:56] <ubuser> error processing firefox cannot access archive
[06:57] <ubuser> no such file or directory with th dpkg
[06:57] <Madpilot> ubuser, have you done something to your repositories listings? Firefox is in Main...
[06:57] <ubuser> no i downloaded them
[06:57] <ubuser> i mean
[06:57] <ubuser> it was on the computer, but i went to download the flash players, and they werent working
[06:58] <Madpilot> ubuser, you downloaded Firefox from the web? A .deb file?
[06:58] <Sc0tt> If i don't have 3d support that means I need to upgrade my graphics driver correct?
[06:58] <bullgard4> What basic commands does Disk Utility (palimpsest) use to arrive at a judgement like: "Drive is functional"?
[06:58] <ubuser> so i went online and there was this thing you had to do with a lot of commands and some guy made a script, i checked out the codes, and it deleted my firefox, and his link wasnt good and it isnt installing back
[06:58] <ubuser> yeah i asked for the link lol
[06:58] <bazhang> ubuser, what script give us a link
[06:58] <ubuser> umm alright
[06:59] <Madpilot> ubuser, the apt-get command I gave you should reinstall firefox. I think you've done more damage to your install than just deleting FF
[07:00] <col0ur> bazhang, Blue1, see above
[07:00] <chaospsychex> i need help adding a win7 entry to grub2
[07:00] <bazhang> chaospsychex, check the grub2 instructions yet?
[07:01] <Sc0tt> can you make live cd/usb out of win7?
[07:01] <ubuser> ill try it again..
[07:01] <bazhang> Sc0tt, try in ##windows
[07:01] <chaospsychex> yeah and i cant make heads or tails out of it
[07:01] <ubuser> but still my shortcut is sayin it isnt there maybe this script changed the place or something
[07:01] <Sc0tt> was just curios why he's adding it to grub
[07:01] <bazhang> chaospsychex, explain exactly what you can't understand
[07:01] <Blue11> col0ur: i dont know honestly -- I know if you go with the default, I tried to install trad. gnome AFTER installing the netbook remix, and all I got was unity
[07:01] <zs1otb_> I have setup ntp server 10.04 on 3 machijnes here. All three have different times, whu would that be. I understood that they should all 3 display that same time..
[07:01] <chaospsychex> i have it installed
[07:01] <chaospsychex> for some reason it's gone from the menu
[07:01] <Madpilot> ubuser, please give us a link to this script you ran. It really sounds like it broke more than just Firefox.
[07:02] <chaospsychex> sudo update-grub is not detecting it like it should either
[07:02] <faryshta> Hello. Which command is to install audio and video codecs?
[07:02] <Blue11> chaospsychex: tell me what happened?  is grub broke or?
[07:02] <Blue11> sorry was awk for a bit
[07:03] <bastidrazor> faryshta: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras  ::this normally installs everything needed
[07:03] <zs1otb_> I have setup ntp server 10.04 on 3 machines here. All three have different times, why would that be. I understood that they should all 3 display that same time..
[07:03] <col0ur> Blue1, and what about the Broadcom module?
[07:03] <chaospsychex> its not broke,the windows entry is just not there after a restart for some reason
[07:03] <Blue11> chaospsychex: you can try rebuiling it, i have link just a min
[07:04] <ubuser> maybe ill find the link
[07:04] <ubuser> sounds like a virus
[07:04] <faryshta> Thanks bastidrazor
[07:04] <Blue11> chaospsychex: this MIGHT work.  YMMV applies:  http://pkill-9.com/?p=314
[07:05] <Madpilot> ubuser, running random scripts you find on the web... not the greatest thing to do. It doesn't have to be a "virus" if you ran it yourself...
[07:05] <bastidrazor> faryshta: you're welcome.
[07:05] <ubuser> idk jus sayin
[07:06] <inktri> if i have a symbolic link that points to a file called "test.html" and i move the "test.html" file to another folder, will the symbolic link still work?
[07:06] <ubuser> it had the file, and it deleted firefox
[07:06] <ubuser> yay found itno
[07:06] <bastidrazor> inktri: no, you'll need to remake the link to the actual location of the file.
[07:06] <ubuser> not like i had history
[07:07] <Blue11> inktri: because symlinks are tied to the physical locan
[07:07] <inktri> ok thanks
[07:07] <Blue11> been there, done that!
[07:07] <col0ur> Blue1, is there anything I can do about the Broadcom?
[07:07] <Blue11> col0ur: wlan ?
[07:07] <col0ur> Blue1, yes wifi
[07:07] <Madpilot> ubuser, you found a link to this script?
[07:08] <Sc0tt> Any idea what it takes to get my graphics card working properly?  I tried upgrading my card and every step of the way I have errors not even sure if the guide is the correct one
[07:08] <chaospsychex> how do i add a menu entry to grub if i have the UUID of the partition i want to boot to?
[07:08] <Blue11> col0ur: ahh my friend had problems with that....
[07:08] <col0ur> ya
[07:09] <col0ur> Blue1, before i installed it on my caper on my USB when i had access to a wired connection. but for a number of reasons i dont have a wired connection atm, and so if I redid my USB with the regular version i wouldn't have access to that module until i get a wired conection which could be a while
[07:09] <col0ur> erm Blue11
[07:10] <Sc0tt> guess I'll ask another day
[07:10] <Blue11> col0ur: i think this is the link he used:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1071920&mode=linear
[07:10] <col0ur> Blue11: "Wired Internet access on the machine with the wireless card on it, in "
[07:10] <col0ur> :P
[07:10] <col0ur> i dont have that
[07:11] <Blue11> col0ur: search for that on yahoo or google would be my recommendation sorry.
[07:11] <col0ur> Blue11: alright thanks anyway :)
[07:11] <col0ur> Blue11: one more question: will making a Live USB in Ubuntu wipe it?
[07:12] <Blue11> col0ur: iirc there is an option to format it.
[07:12] <col0ur> but you dont have to?
[07:12] <col0ur> alright thanks
[07:12] <bazhang> ubuser, got the script?
[07:12] <Blue11> col0ur: honestly - don't know it has been since 10.04 that I did it (a year ago) and I just formatted.
[07:13]  * Blue11 steps away from the squishee machine - night folks
[07:13] <frenocha> bye Apu
[07:14] <mohddzulffiqar> newbies here
[07:14] <Madpilot> mohddzulffiqar, be polite.
[07:14] <mohddzulffiqar> ok madpilot...
[07:14] <mohddzulffiqar> so..
[07:15] <mohddzulffiqar> this is my first time using xubuntu
[07:15] <mohddzulffiqar> anyone can teach me..
[07:16] <juniour> mohddzulffiqar wt you wanna to know?
[07:16] <Madpilot> mohddzulffiqar, there's #xubuntu, although it's often quiet
[07:16] <mohddzulffiqar> emm..
[07:16] <mohddzulffiqar> how to install software??
[07:16] <mohddzulffiqar> seriously how is it
[07:16] <frenocha> mohddzulffiqar: it's fairly self-explanatory in general. May I suggest asking a more specific question?
[07:17] <mohddzulffiqar> what the file types for ubuntu`s installler??
[07:17] <juniour> mohddzulffiqar which software you wanna to install
[07:17] <juniour> ?
[07:17] <mohddzulffiqar> minefield...do you know that software??
[07:17] <Madpilot> mohddzulffiqar, Ubuntu uses repositories, so you don't usually  have to download random stuff off websites...
[07:17] <chaospsychex> Blue11: I've had to do that method before, when i installed win7 after ubuntu. Could you explain what that exactly does? why would i have to re-install grub2 to the MBR if the entry just dissapeared
[07:18] <chaospsychex> i haven't re-installed windows
[07:18] <chaospsychex> nothing has changed
[07:18] <Madpilot> mohddzulffiqar, there's enough differences between Ubuntu and Xubuntu that you really should ask on #xubuntu
[07:18] <mohddzulffiqar> oic...
[07:18] <mohddzulffiqar> hehe..
[07:18] <chaospsychex> all i did was delete a ntfs partition i was storing files on for backup
[07:19] <hilarie> What was the equivalent to sudo that you should use in GUI programs?
[07:19] <mohddzulffiqar> how to switch to #xubuntu..???
[07:19] <juniour> mohddzulffiqar try /join #xubuntu
[07:19] <bonjoyee> can i add multiple cache folders for apt-get?
[07:19] <Switch> mohddzulffiqar: /j #xubuntu
[07:19] <frenocha> hilarie: gksudo
[07:19] <hilarie> ty
[07:19] <pylix> that or double click the #
[07:19] <bethdo97_> What does revert do in the live CD partitioning utility?
[07:19] <ubuser> well i cant find where i downloaded this script
[07:19] <mohddzulffiqar> tq..

[07:19] <pylix> it should link you most aps have that built in
[07:19] <ubuser> i got the script on the desktop

[07:20] <Madpilot> ubuser, stick the script up somewhere, post the URL here
[07:20] <bastidrazor> ubottu: tell ubuser about pastebin
[07:20] <Switch> ubuser: type yes in the terminal
[07:21] <MagusOTB> What package comes with man pages for things like pthread_create?
[07:23] <Switch> how do I use the output of one program as an argument to another program? -- a command line argument, NOT the stdin of the program
[07:23] <juniour> switch use pipe
[07:23] <ubuser> yes in the terminal?
[07:23] <juniour> |
[07:24] <Switch> juniour: derp, I said not the stdin
[07:24] <ubuser> "plz give me my internet backkkk"
[07:24] <chaospsychex> is there an alternative to grub2?
[07:24] <Switch> I mean, I want to give the output of the command "ps aux" to the 'yes' program as an argument
[07:24] <bazhang> ubuser, got the link ?
[07:24] <ubuser> idk what pastebin is
[07:24] <ubuser> forgot

[07:25] <ubuser> alright before i paste this
[07:25] <juniour> switch i cant get  you
[07:25] <ubuser> it told me to chmod it
[07:26] <bazhang> ubuser, just paste the script and give us the pastebin link
[07:26] <MagusOTB> Switch: backticks, i.e. prog1 `prog2` wil make the stdout of prog2 appear as if it were there on the command line
[07:26] <ubuser> paste.ubuntu.com/560510
[07:26] <MagusOTB> *will
[07:26] <Switch> MagusOTB: yeah, that's what I want, thanks
[07:27] <ubuser> but the link it was going to get firefox from wasnt legit, and it never put it back just bent me over
[07:27] <teapollonius> Hello
[07:27] <ubuser> i was just trying to get flashplayer working
[07:27] <ubuser> ATLEAST I GOT TEH JAVA WOOT
[07:28] <ubuser> on the epiphany crap anyway
[07:28] <Technikfreak> does the new ff work nice on ubuntu 10.10`?
[07:28] <Madpilot> ubuser, that script seems to be attempting to download an ANCIENT version of Firefox...
[07:28] <bastidrazor> ubuser: firefox-1.5??.. that is beyond old
[07:28] <ubuser> well
[07:28] <Technikfreak> sa
[07:28] <ubuser> i would say something
[07:28] <ubuser> but dont ask
[07:28] <teapollonius> I just bought a laptop running Ubuntu because I want to learn to use it, but I'm a complete newb. Anyone know how to connect to a wifi network?
[07:29] <ubuser> so whats the solution?
[07:29] <ubuser> tried completely deleting in sypnatic
[07:29] <ubuser> but nothin seems to be working
[07:29] <ubuser> havent tried the deb yet
[07:29] <ubuser> gotta get off this its just a mod of firefox anyway
[07:30] <frenocha> teapollonius: clicking the NetworkManager icon in the top right corner is a good first step - then pick your network, fill in your password, and you're basically done.
[07:30] <ubuser> how was i posed to no the link was dead anyway
[07:30] <ubuser> i dont really know code, so i dont read it
[07:31] <juniour> teapollonius you have activated your addtional drivers
[07:31] <ubuser> besides, its because im the first ubuntu that ever came out
[07:31] <ubuser> and they told me i wouldnt be able to get zsnes working on it
[07:31] <ubuser> only thing that even works on here
[07:31] <bazhang> ubuser, you're on 4.10?
[07:31] <Technikfreak> 4.10 lol
[07:31] <ubuser> imagine trying to get a usb from the modem to pc on 5.1
[07:31] <Sc0tt> any suggestions on how get my gfx driver upgraded?  I can't get alot of features to work right now
[07:31] <ubuser> then changing ur modem settings thats always fun
[07:32] <bazhang> ubuser, what version of ubuntu.
[07:32] <ubuser> breezy badger
[07:32] <ubuser> 5.1
[07:32] <bazhang> okay
[07:32] <juniour> sc0tt try this system->addministration->hardware drivers
[07:32] <Madpilot> ubuser, any particular reason you're running an antique version of Ubuntu?
[07:33] <ubuser> thought u might say somethin ghey
[07:33] <ubuser> no not really
[07:33] <juniour> sc0tt click on activate botton on right botton
[07:33] <bazhang> ubuser, please pastebin your sources.list
[07:33] <juniour> teapollonius system->addministration->hardware drivers
[07:33] <ubuser> they got mailed to my grandma and she never used them so i tried it, liked it, tried burnin 2 or 3 isos with 9.1 my pc only has like 500 ram
[07:33] <ubuser> started to get lubuntu or xubuntu
[07:34] <ubuser> why?
[07:34] <ubuser> its not my sources
[07:34] <ubuser> took me forevar and 1/2 to get them workin
[07:34] <Sc0tt> Yeah no luck there only my wifi card is listed as a choice
[07:34] <ubuser> specially with the version 5.1
[07:34] <bazhang> cat /etc/apt/sources.list  ----> paste.ubuntu.com
[07:34] <ubuser> alright.
[07:34] <juniour> scott activate that
[07:34] <Sc0tt> already is
[07:35] <juniour> sc0tt try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:36] <ubuser> i even typed the arrow ---->
[07:36] <Madpilot> ubuser, the reason you can't apt-get anything is likely that the Breezy repositories flat-out don't exist anymore...

[07:37] <ubuser> if anyone wants a useless script
[07:37] <ubuser> maybe, one day
[07:37] <ubuser> rofl, i usually gedit that file
[07:37] <bazhang> ubuser, the paste of your sources.list please
[07:38] <ubuser> and i thought i copied it
[07:38] <MagusOTB> Does anybody know what package comes with man pages for pthread_*()?
[07:38] <juniour> sc0tt paste the output here  http://paste.ubuntu.com and give me the link
[07:38] <ubuser> 560515
[07:38] <bethdo97_> I had prvioussly installed 10.10 on a HD and then had to add Win 7 because son needed both things for a programming class he is taking; the fix Grub2 info failed to fix the booting issues and I am attemptig to eliminate the partitionns prreviously assigned to Ubuntu and the swap file and then reinstall using those same partittions. While in the partitioner, I was curious what thhe REVERT choice did?
[07:38] <juniour> sc0tty try this system->addministration->update manager
[07:39] <teapollo> frenocha, yeah, that was my thought process as well. Sorry for the delay but I went to retrace my steps and had to go get the wifi password off the router. After putting in the password it keeps poppuing up saying Unlock Keyring. What's that mean?
[07:39] <juniour>  sc0tty try this system->addministration->update manager
[07:40] <juniour> sc0tt try this system->addministration->update manager
[07:40] <Sc0tt> http://paste.ubuntu.com/560519/
[07:40] <Sc0tt> there are no updates to install
[07:40] <frenocha> teapollo: the keyring is a method of storing all passwords used under one main password, by default the original login password - the analogy is that it's a ring keeping all of your keys (read: passwords) together, i.e. a keyring
[07:40] <ubuser> was my file right
[07:41] <frenocha> teapollo: depending on when it's asking what, you might need to fill in your login password, your previous login password or simply click 'always allow access'
[07:41] <juniour> sc0tt have u updated before
[07:41] <juniour> ?
[07:41] <ubuser> this epiphany browser is mad3 slow
[07:41] <Sc0tt> Yeah
[07:41] <juniour> k
[07:42] <juniour> when
[07:42] <juniour> sc0tt when
[07:42] <Sc0tt> I was trying to get the grx card working following a ubuntu guide before but I kept getting errors every step of the way
[07:42] <Sc0tt> today a few hours ago
[07:42] <juniour> k
[07:42] <Madpilot> ubuser, any browser that old would be slow. Modern epiph is fine. Your sources.list looks OK, I think.
[07:43] <ubuser> well
[07:43] <ubuser> firefox was better
[07:43] <teapollo> frenocha, is there any way to find out what that password is and/or reinstall to get a new one? I just want to be able to use this computer, they told me that there is only one password anything could be, but that password does nothing on this keyring thing.
[07:43] <Madpilot> ubuser, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades

[07:44] <ubuser> what u recommend
[07:44] <ubuser> i got cd's
[07:44] <Madpilot> teapollo, 2003 was a long, long time ago in Linux terms
[07:45] <ubuser> i heard like lubuntu

[07:45] <ubuser> this pc blows
[07:45] <k4g6> hey is it possible to use xmobar as a replacement for the gnome-panell
[07:45] <juniour> sc0tt try this lspci | grep "VGS" and give the output
[07:45] <leapy0yo> hi
[07:45] <frenocha> teapollo: the keyring password will be the password you filled in when you first installed your current Ubuntu installation - which version of Ubuntu are you running?
[07:45] <teapollo> Madpilot: that's why I spent $200 on a laptop with Ubuntu on it, I figured it was time to give it a second chance.
[07:46] <leapy0yo> is there a way to do a ls of a-e  but not a-z or so?
[07:46] <ubuser> seen a mozilla html editor in sypnatic
[07:46] <ubuser> ff, ftl
[07:46] <frenocha> teapollo: try running 'seahorse' to change your keyring password - Alt+F2 -> 'seahorse'

[07:47] <madsailor> hi all. I'm running dualboot win7 + ubuntu, and just did a Gentoo install on my spare partition for some extra linux (joy??).

[07:49] <dn4> of ipv6?
[07:49] <kt_> on the same laptop
[07:49] <frenocha> teapollo: that one doesn't exist, so I somewhat doubt it ;) you can get your version number by going to System > About Ubuntu in your menu - regardless, try running 'seahorse'

[07:57] <Gnea> kt_: did you install pcbsd to a primary partition or a logical partition?
[07:57] <leapy0yo> hwo do i properly copy a ubuntu file toa  ntfs system/windows?
[07:58] <Gnea> leapy0yo: with the cp command
[07:58] <ubuser> wait couldnt i put the link to the right deb and then my firefox work
[07:59] <kt_> primary
[07:59] <kt_> drive E:\
[07:59] <kt_> which was totaly unused
[07:59] <leapy0yo> does not work, it becomes a file that cannot be chown nor chmod
[07:59] <Gnea> kt_: you do realize that the concept of drive letters simply does not exist in the *nix world, right?
[07:59] <kt_> no
[08:00] <ajah> i am using grub (GNU GRUB 0.97) will i get any benefit if install grub 2
[08:00] <Gnea> kt_: okay, well they don't. only windows uses the drive letters. are you booted into ubuntu right now?
[08:00] <kt_> yes
[08:00] <ubuser> what code i use on srcs.list to get the info in terminal
[08:01] <Gnea> kt_: excellent. :)  would you please install the pastebinit program
[08:01] <kt_> how can i install it ?
[08:01] <kt_> sudo apt-get install pastebinit ?
[08:01] <Gnea> kt_: yes.
[08:02] <Madpilot> ubuser, you want to print the contents of sources.list to the terminal?
[08:02] <kt_> done
[08:02] <Gnea> ubuser: what is srcs.list?
[08:02] <kt_> now what, Gnea
[08:02] <Gnea> kt_: now:  cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | pastebinit   <-- it will provide a URL, please paste the URL here.
[08:03] <thauriswulfa1> QUESTION: Is there anyway so that apt-get can use axel to download packages
[08:03] <kt_> http://pastebin.com/jFqujSmf
[08:04] <kt_> now , Gnea?
[08:04] <ubuser> not exactly
[08:04] <ubuser> but yea
[08:04] <ubuser> took 2 minutes to get to google
[08:05] <Gnea> kt_: okay, it looks like grub never saw pcbsd. have you tried running the grub-update from ubuntu after installing pcbsd?
[08:05] <kt_> no
[08:05] <kt_> hwo can i do that
[08:05] <leapy0yo> okay surely, i cannot run a ubuntu binary on a NTFS external hard drive
[08:05] <kt_> i just installed pc-bsd right now

[08:06] <kt_> it completed 5 mins ago probably
[08:06] <leapy0yo> can i symbolic link it?
[08:06] <leapy0yo> what is a hard link and a soft link?
[08:06] <ubuser> any way to scan for driver updates
[08:06] <Gnea> kt_: yeah, just run it on the terminal you have open
[08:06] <bazhang> ubuser, in 5.10?
[08:07] <SwedeMike> leapy0yo: symbolic link is a soft link
[08:07] <Gnea> kt_: after you run it, run that pastebinit command again so we can make sure it detected pcbsd correctly.
[08:07] <juniour> ubser system->addministration-> hardware drivers
[08:07] <Dead_Storage> ubottu
[08:07] <bazhang> juniour, he's on 5.10

[08:08] <kt_> Gnea:  done
[08:09] <juniour> ubuser why wont you upgrade your version upgrade it to 10.04 or 10.10
[08:09] <kt_> btw why is it showing linux 3 times and windows once? even on boot i see this linux option 3 times
[08:09] <ubuser> i dont really havew that many cd's and all my games are on here
[08:09] <ubuser> my flash drive fried

[08:10] <ubuser> gedit ftw
[08:10] <juniour> ubuser vi
[08:10] <kt_> Gnea:  u there, sir?
[08:10] <Sc0tt> emacs?
[08:11] <Gnea> kt_: 4 times, actually. there are 4 different linux kernels.
[08:11] <hateball> kt_: the multiple entries are so that a kernel upgrade wont leave you unable to use the machine. you can use an older kernel
[08:11] <Gnea> kt_: yes, I'm here, it takes time to work on my end.
[08:11] <kt_> ok sir
[08:11] <kt_> so it has worked now, Gnea?
[08:11] <Gnea> kt_: it has not, trying to figure out why and what to do.
[08:12] <kt_> ok
[08:12] <kt_> thanks
[08:14] <Gnea> kt_: could you please run this:  sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda | pastebinit
[08:14] <Sc0tt> does ubuntu have a task manager like windows Cntrl alt delete?
[08:15] <kt_> http://pastebin.com/X9bEWFdQ
[08:15] <KirkMcDonald> Sc0tt: Open a terminal and run top.
[08:15] <earthmeLon> I am having a hard time finding where my sound card is located on my filesystem.  What is it listed as under /dev/?
[08:15] <Gnea> Sc0tt: or right-click on the panel, then add-to-panel, select system monitor, and click on it once it's up
[08:15] <frenocha> Sc0tt: try running 'gnome-system-monitor'
[08:15] <Sc0tt> ah okay thanks
[08:16] <Gnea> kt_: awesome, have you looked at this too?
[08:16] <KirkMcDonald> (I don't typically use the GUI, so I'm more familiar with the command-line tools.)
[08:16] <kt_> u mean the website? yes
[08:16] <kt_> why?
[08:16] <lanks> I just followed the steps to configure postfix with virutal mailbox here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixVirtualMailBoxClamSmtpHowto and I got to the part where you send an email to one of the virtual users. It isn't send the email though.... it is just getting bounced to the root user mail acc. Any ideas what the problem could be?
[08:17] <Gnea> ick, lag
[08:18] <kt_> Gnea:  what should i do now sir
[08:18] <Gnea> kt_: sorry about that, my internet connection just went haywire for a bit
[08:18] <kt_> ok
[08:18] <Gnea> kt_: okay, wanted to make sure we're on the same page :)
[08:18] <kt_> ok :P then?
[08:19] <ysk> hey can u tell me if i share any foler in ubuntu on my wireless... how could the fella on windoes can access it it ask for id password?
[08:19] <mah454>  I can not connect to Debian server with ssh
[08:19] <mah454> receive this message " No route to host "
[08:20] <Gnea> kt_: okay, then you will need to edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg manually in order to add pcbsd, but it will need to be taylored to your exact system requirements using the following method:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8762937&postcount=5
[08:20] <ubuser> i lost my pastebin link, i was gonna put those in the terminal..
[08:20] <kt_> Gnea:  sir can u tell me step by step in pm i will continue doing like that
[08:20] <Gnea> kt_: in your case, since pcbsd is on /dev/sda3, it should be on (hd0,2)
[08:20] <kt_> im very new to this i can get error
[08:20] <Switch> never had a nigger in my bed with me
[08:20] <Gnea> kt_: I can explain it here, it would benefit others
[08:21] <Gnea> !language | Switch
[08:21] <kt_> ok plz do, tell me ill do it
[08:21] <Gnea> !ot | Switch
[08:21] <ysk> orrite
[08:21] <ysk>  i asked somethin
[08:21] <kt_> say it here so everyone learn, tell me step by step n ill tell u step by step updates
[08:21] <adis> Were can i find Ubuntu games
[08:21] <hardboiled> mornin all
[08:22] <frenocha> adis: try opening the Ubuntu Software Center from your main menu
[08:22] <Gnea> adis: www.playdeb.net
[08:22] <adis> ok
[08:22]  * kt_ is waiting :P
[08:22] <Gnea> kt_: okay, you need to map /dev/sda3 to grub
[08:22] <kt_> how
[08:22] <Gnea> kt_: you know it is the first disk, so grub sees it like this:  (hd0)
[08:23] <Gnea> kt_: second disk would be (hd1) and so on...
[08:23] <kt_> ok i see
[08:23] <kt_> tell me commands ill type it in terminal
[08:24] <Gnea> kt_: make sure you are editting /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[08:24] <Gnea> kt_: sorry, I forgot to mention that before :o
[08:24] <kt_> ko
[08:24] <kt_> so tell me command to type ill type it sir
[08:24] <Gnea> kt_: title PCBSD
[08:24] <Gnea> kt_: rootnoverify (hd0,2)
[08:25] <Gnea> kt_: chainloader +1
[08:25] <Gnea> kt_: save and quit
[08:25] <kt_> where should i type all this?
[08:25] <Gnea> kt_: in the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file, at the bottom of it
[08:25] <kt_> how can i open this file
[08:25] <kt_> pico ?
[08:25] <Gnea> kt_: with a text editor:  sudo nano /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[08:26] <ajah> can any tell what map (hd0,1) in grub menu.lst does
[08:26] <Gnea> ajah: nothing.
[08:26] <ajah> Gnea, what the purpose of map( )
[08:26] <juniour> cna any aone tall me can i play all the games that i used to play in windows like nfs,fifa ?
[08:27] <Gnea> ajah: map() would be a function, not a command. it's used to swap two hard drives so the system thinks that one is first rather than second or third
[08:27] <Gnea> ajah: so it would be map not map()
[08:27] <kt_> ok
[08:27] <Gnea> juniour: possibly
[08:27] <kt_> i have done it now Gnea
[08:27] <Gnea> !cedega | juniour
[08:27] <kt_> now should i run that old command again
[08:27] <kt_> so u can see its done or not yet?
[08:27] <FloodBot1> kt_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:27] <Gnea> kt_: yes, sudo update-grub2
[08:28] <Gnea> kt_: and then pastebinit for grub.cfg
[08:28] <ajah> Gnea any idea how to boot iso from disc with grub
[08:28] <juniour> Gnea how to do that
[08:28] <Gnea> ajah:  don't think grub can do it, but grub2 can
[08:28] <Gnea> !grub2 | ajah
[08:28] <kt_> http://pastebin.com/je8Radtz
[08:28] <Gnea> juniour: with cedega
[08:29] <juniour> Gnea wt thats?
[08:29] <kt_> Gnea:  done
[08:29] <kt_> now ?
[08:29] <Gnea> juniour: please read what ubottu told you.
[08:29] <juniour> k
[08:30] <Gnea> kt_: okay, it worked, but now we need to edit it so that it's the correct syntax
[08:30] <Gnea> kt_: so open /etc/grub.d/40_custom again
[08:30] <kt_> ok and does PCBSD has a wireless driver already? i am using wireless internet, will i be able to connect to it just like automaticaly it was done in kubuntu or no i have to do something manually for it?
[08:30] <kt_> ok wait
[08:30] <Gnea> kt_: I don't know, haven't used PCBSD with wireless yet
[08:30] <kt_> its open
[08:30] <kt_> now ?
[08:30] <kt_> i opened what u said
[08:30] <kt_> now ?
[08:30] <Gnea> kt_: I would imagine it does, but #pcbsd would be a better place to ask for that
[08:30] <FloodBot1> kt_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:31] <kt_> ppl in pcbsd are noobs, they didnt solved my problem and u did
[08:31] <kt_> they said reinstall OS
[08:31] <kt_> lol
[08:31] <joe_1> haha.. noobs
[08:31] <kt_> anyway what should i do now
[08:31] <ajah> Gnea, $grub-install -v grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97) , i`m running on 10.10 how to install grub2
[08:31] <kt_> i am in grub.d/40_custom
[08:31] <Gnea> kt_: change 'title PCBSD' to 'menuentry "PCBSD" {'
[08:32] <Gnea> ajah: it should be installed already. try grub2-install
[08:32] <kt_> i should exactly type = menuentry "PCBSD"{
[08:32] <kt_> right?
[08:32] <Gnea> kt_: menuentry "PCBSD" {
[08:33] <kt_> ok then?
[08:33] <ajah> Gnea, sudo: grub2-install: command not found
[08:33] <kt_> Gnea:  i have done that, now?
[08:33] <Gnea> !grub2 | ajah Please follow these guides
[08:33] <Gnea> kt_: sec
[08:33] <kt_> k
[08:34] <Gnea> kt_: next line:  insmod bsd
[08:34] <ramontayag> hey folks. got a new hard disk, and reinstalled ubuntu. every 30 seconds or so, i feel that something is reading/writing to my hard disk that slows everything down. when I watch a video file (with vlc) it will freeze up for about 10 seconds. i tried http://www.howtoforge.com/faq/13_17_en.html and my disk seems pretty fast. what do i do?
[08:34] <KB1JWQ> ramontayag: Check iostat.
[08:34] <KB1JWQ> I'd use that for diagnosis.
[08:34] <kt_> Gnea:  done, now ?
[08:34] <KB1JWQ> ramontayag: If you're correct in your assumption, run iotop.
[08:36] <ramontayag> KB1JWQ, I'll check iostat. I tried iotop, but nothing seems to be running out of the ordinary. i'll check again, brb
[08:36] <Gnea> kt_: next line, change 'rootnoverify (hd0,2)' to set root='(hd0,bsd)'
[08:36] <Gnea> kt_: and leave chainloader +1 alone
[08:37] <hakan> merhaba
[08:37] <hakan> ubuntuyu yeni kurdum  the folder contents could not be displayed root foledr girdiğimde?
[08:37] <Switch> kt_: don't do it! he's trying to hack you
[08:37] <ajah> Gnea, i found this article http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-grub-2-on-ubuntu-9.04 is this going to help me or not since i running on 10.10
[08:37] <kt_> Gnea:  done, now?
[08:37] <Gnea> !ot | Switch
[08:37] <bazhang> Switch, stop that
[08:37] <kt_> Switch:  i'd love to be hacked by him
[08:37] <Gnea> LOL
[08:37] <kt_> Switch:  i love hackers like him and want them to hack me
[08:38] <kt_> Switch:  u should also get hacked, its fun
[08:38] <KB1JWQ> kt_: That's enough.
[08:38] <kt_> Gnea:  ok i have done that

[08:38] <kt_> now what sir?
[08:38] <hakan> #ubuntu-tr
[08:38] <kt_> in end i have to put a } now ? :P or something else left also
[08:38] <Gnea> kt_: no, the } is not necessary
[08:38] <kt_> ok
[08:38] <kt_> its done now?
[08:39] <Gnea> kt_: wait - I'm wrong, sorry
[08:39] <kt_> ok
[08:39] <Gnea> kt_: put } on the line after chainloader +1
[08:39] <kt_> yeah typical programming syntax :P
[08:39] <kt_> ok then? its done ?
[08:39] <Suit_Of_Sables> hey gang, I have been away from ubuntu for awhile. On another distro there was a package for a 'color' enabled rtorrent. apt-cache search found no such packages in the standard repos.
[08:40] <kt_> is it done now, Gnea? should i save and quit now?
[08:40] <Gnea> kt_: yes, save/quit and then:  sudo update-grub2   and then pastebinit the grub.cfg again please
[08:40] <kt_> ok
[08:40] <kt_> its yays
[08:40] <kt_> permission denied
[08:40] <hidnshadows> Kb1jwq since I'm guessing that's an amateur tag, know of any secondary repos with HAM software? Ubuntu's pickings aren't very impressive
[08:40] <Gnea> kt_: uh oh... did you remember to use nano with sudo?
[08:40] <kt_> i used pico
[08:40] <Gnea> that's fine
[08:41] <Gnea> btw, nano is a modern form of pico :)
[08:41] <kt_> ok its done
[08:41] <kt_> wait
[08:41] <kt_> nano is so hard,
[08:41] <kt_> pico rocks, wait lemme update it now
[08:41] <Gnea> use what works :)
[08:42] <kt_> http://pastebin.com/67WjeEkd
[08:42] <kt_> done?
[08:42] <fmanach> Hi there
[08:42] <pvl1> on my headless ubuntu server box, tab completion doesnt work when i begin with sudo
[08:42] <gordonjcp> hidnshadows: most amateur radio software isn't very impressive
[08:42] <gordonjcp> hidnshadows: what are you looking for?
[08:43] <fmanach> pvl1: this never worked for me neither
[08:43] <Gnea> kt_: okay, that *should* do it... reboot and give it a whirl
[08:43] <kt_> ok
[08:43] <pvl1> fmanach, i think it may just be as such for security?
[08:44] <hidnshadows> Gordonjcp I'm in a high school amateur club, just starting to crawl, so we have all the software on windoze. I'm looking for a QSO logger/lookup, world pushpin map, and an SSTV encoder
[08:44] <fmanach> or just that sudo is not developped so it autocomplete
[08:46] <hidnshadows> fmanach sudo should work fine, considering it only does one function
[08:46] <fmanach> hidnshadows: this is exactly my opinion
[08:46] <Gnea> !info qsstv | hidnshadows
[08:47] <Gnea> kt_: and the verdict?
[08:47] <kt_> Gnea:  it is there now but it givs error that chainloder+1 unknown command
[08:47] <kt_> :P
[08:47] <hidnshadows> Gnea thanks
[08:47] <Gnea> uh
[08:47] <kt_> now ?
[08:47] <natrixnatrix89> Is it a good idea to use ext4 as filesystem for an external usb hdd?
[08:47] <ramontayag> KB1JWQ, every 20 seconds or so, I see this: jdb2/sda1-8 take up 99.99% of the io. I don't understand so much of it, but something similar was raised here: http://superuser.com/questions/101640/disk-operations-freeze-debian
[08:48] <_`-`> natrixnatrix89: depends where it's used I guess
[08:48] <Gnea> kt_: ah yes, it needs to be 'chainloader +1', not 'chainloader+1'
[08:48] <Gnea> kt_: it needs space to work right
[08:48] <natrixnatrix89> _`-`: what do you mean?
[08:48] <kt_> oh ok
[08:48] <hidnshadows> natrixnatrix89, it depends, what are you trying to do with it?
[08:48] <bazhang> natrixnatrix89, shared with windows?
[08:48] <_`-`> windows won't read an ext4 filesystem, so if you're only working with linux environments it should be fine
[08:48] <Gnea> kt_: sorry, don't know why I didn't catch that before
[08:48] <natrixnatrix89> no. i dont do windows..
[08:49] <natrixnatrix89> so it wont crash?
[08:49] <Hongildon> Hi everyone
[08:49] <_`-`> i'd imagine not :p not every USB device is the same though
[08:49] <natrixnatrix89> bazhang: i have a FAT partition for use with windows..
[08:50] <bazhang> natrixnatrix89, what about files larger than 4GB
[08:50] <natrixnatrix89> bazhang: bad. I put them on ext4 partition..
[08:50] <natrixnatrix89> it is so confusing.. macs dont read ntfs
[08:51] <natrixnatrix89> so there is no universal fs for all os's?
[08:51] <pylix> lol
[08:51] <lanks> anyone know of a straight forward tutorial on how to set up a mailserver from scratch with virtual mailboxes and non linux user accounts?
[08:51] <natrixnatrix89> because fat has the limit of 4 gb
[08:51] <natrixnatrix89> ntfs does not work on a mac
[08:51] <natrixnatrix89> but ext does not wor on win..
[08:52] <hidnshadows> its like... they don't want you to be able to use other people's products...
[08:52] <pylix> deal with the 4 gig limit
[08:52] <_`-`> lol
[08:52] <natrixnatrix89> pylix: id rather use ext and stick without windows and mac..
[08:53] <dagon666> hello, I would like to update my kvm/qemu installation in my karmic, is there any unofficial ppa for it ?
[08:53] <pylix> the 4 gig thing is not a huge limitation
[08:54] <natrixnatrix89> pylix: nowadays it is.. because usually all the br movies are bigger than 4 gb
[08:54] <kt_> now it says no such partition, error
[08:54] <kt_> lol ;\
[08:54] <kt_> what now, Gnea? :(
[08:54] <pylix> split the file
[08:54] <pylix> then transfer it in peices
[08:55] <natrixnatrix89> pylix: but then i cant put it on a usb and plug it in my tv and watch..
[08:55] <Gnea> kt_: ur?/
[08:55] <kt_> what u mean ur?/
[08:55] <natrixnatrix89> kt_: sudo blkid ?
[08:55] <pylix> i don't get it. are you tri-booting are something?
[08:56] <kt_> /dev/sda1: UUID="AECA534ACA530E49" TYPE="ntfs"

[08:56] <FloodBot1> kt_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:56] <Gnea> kt_: sorry - okay, open the /etc/grub.d/40_custom again
[08:56] <kt_> then
[08:56] <kt_> change hd0 to hd2 ?
[08:56] <natrixnatrix89> pylix: basically this is all off-topic speech. just wondering why isnt there an universal fs..
[08:56] <Gnea> kt_: no.
[08:56] <kt_> ok then
[08:57] <Gnea> kt_: there's only 1 hdd, right?
[08:57] <kt_> yes
[08:57] <kt_> 1 physical hard disk
[08:57] <Gnea> kt_: hd2 would be a 3rd physical hard disk
[08:57] <kt_> lol ok
[08:57] <kt_> so what c hanges should i do this time
[08:58] <Gnea> kt_: so, let's try this:  comment out "insmod bsd" so it looks like "#insmod bsd"
[08:58] <kt_> done
[08:58] <Gnea> kt_: then change the "set root=(hd0,bsd)" to "set root=(hd0,2)"
[08:58] <kt_> now ?
[08:58] <kt_> ok
[08:58] <kt_> then ?
[08:59] <Gnea> kt_: save/quit, update-grub2, reboot
[08:59] <loros> help please cannot enter text into terminal ..only shows squares
[08:59] <kt_> ok
[08:59] <Gnea> loros: can you take a screenshot and post it?
[09:00] <furi> if anyone has heard of the game "black shades"... i'm stuck trying to make it and it stops saying  "/home/furi/blackshades/blackshades/Source/Textures.cpp:26: undefined reference to `IMG_Load' "... any help?
[09:00] <loros> Gnea Sorry no...it is my brothers machine
[09:01] <loros> I get squares in gedit also
[09:01] <ramontayag> I'm getting jdb2 hogging my disk io. i'm on ext4 - should i use ext3 instead?
[09:01] <Gnea> !screenshot | loros
[09:01] <kt_> now it says BOOTmgr is missing
[09:01] <kt_> lol
[09:01] <kt_> now what, Gnea? :(
[09:02] <Gnea> UGH
[09:02] <Gnea> kt_: okay, open the file again...
[09:02] <kt_> ok
[09:02] <ramontayag> I'm unable to watch videos at all because it freezes every 30 seconds. at least.
[09:02] <Gnea> I really should install pcbsd someday
[09:02] <loros> sqaures look like ascii
[09:03] <kt_> i have opened it
[09:03] <kt_> now ?
[09:03] <Gnea> kt_: uncomment #insmod bsd and change it to : insmod ufs2
[09:03] <ramontayag> any suggestions?
[09:03] <Gnea> kt_: then change "set root=(hd0,2)" to "set root=(hd0,ufs2)"
[09:03] <Gnea> kt_: save/quit, update-grub2, reboot
[09:03] <Gnea> ramontayag: screenshot, please.
[09:03] <kt_> ok
[09:04] <ramontayag> Gnea, I'll try. jdb2 appears for less than a second
[09:04] <Gnea> ramontayag: huh?
[09:05] <arturo> I can't see internal mobile broadband SIM. Before updating I could use it. VAIO VGN-Z11WN
[09:05] <ramontayag> Gnea, how I know that it's jdb2 that's causing this is through iotop
[09:06] <ramontayag> That's what you wanted to see, right? The screenshot of jdb2 process hogging the disk io?
[09:06] <Gnea> ramontayag: what are you talking about? why can't you just post a screenshot?
[09:06] <Gnea> er
[09:06] <Gnea> loros: screenshot?
[09:06] <Gnea> ramontayag: sorry
[09:06] <kt_> again it says no such partition
[09:06] <kt_> lol
[09:06] <ramontayag> Gnea, oh
[09:06] <furi> if anyone has heard of the game "black shades"... i'm stuck trying to make it and it stops saying  "/home/furi/blackshades/blackshades/Source/Textures.cpp:26: undefined reference to `IMG_Load' "... any help?
[09:07] <Gnea> ramontayag: yeah, what's your cpu/ram?
[09:07] <loros> Gnea  Terminal should show neville@neville-desktop ;-$ but insted show the corresponding number of squares . This also happens when I type text into gedit
[09:07] <kt_> Gnea:  now what, bro ? :D it says no such partition
[09:07] <Gnea> kt_: okay, try changing 'ufs2' to 'ufs1' on both lines
[09:08] <Gnea> loros: okay, you can upload a screenshot.
[09:08] <Gnea> !screenshot | loros
[09:08] <kt_> done
[09:08] <kt_> now ? reboot again?
[09:08] <ramontayag> Anyone come across ext4/jdb2 problems? I'm wondering if I should nuke this disk and move to ext3 instead.
[09:08] <Gnea> kt_: don't forget the update, yes
[09:09] <loros> my ubuntu terminal works fine it is my brothers that has the problem and I cannot get a screenshot
[09:09] <loros> he is interstae
[09:10] <Gnea> loros: oh. I really have no idea.
[09:10] <kt_> no good
[09:10] <kt_> same error, no such partition
[09:10] <Gnea> kt_: ugh!
[09:10] <kt_> now what, Gnea? :(
[09:11] <loros> okay thanks Gnea
[09:11] <Gnea> kt_: pastebinit the grub.cfg
[09:11] <loros> looks like a reinstall
[09:11] <kt_> ok whats the command again
[09:11] <kt_> for pastebiniting it
[09:11] <loros> might be the go
[09:11] <Gnea> loros: well, if he can't get on here, then probably
[09:12] <Gnea> kt_: cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg | pastebinit
[09:12] <loros> will se what I can do
[09:12] <kt_> http://pastebin.com/BKiuXBvm
[09:12] <taleon> hi
[09:13] <_`-`> hm, so if i hit ctrl-alt-f6, and start irssi through ssh, is there a way to sort of 'pop out' and execute other commands? like another tab
[09:13] <Gnea> kt_: okay, just for fun, change "set root=(hd0,ufs1)" to "set root=(hd0,ufs)"
[09:14] <Gnea> kt_: and try that
[09:14] <kt_> ok
[09:14] <kt_> and ufs in insmod also?
[09:14] <Gnea> _`-`: what are you trying to do?
[09:14] <Gnea> kt_: no
[09:15] <Gnea> kt_: leave insmod alone
[09:16] <_`-`> probably nothing logical, but if i was in ctrl-alt-f6 (surely there's another name for this) and currently using irssi through ssh, how could i, for example, grep without logging out of ssh or going back to my graphical desktop?
[09:18] <Gnea> _`-`: the name would be "the 6th console terminal" and you could avoid logout issues remotely by using screen on the remote end
[09:18] <vincent> Hello
[09:18] <ajah> i installed grub2 than reboot to check if it`s working and it was fine than sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy and prompt we in with device to install it and i select /dev/sda1 ( not sure) and then i reboot and get grub loading error 15
[09:18] <_`-`> Gnea: i am using screen, but i mean grep on my local machine :p
[09:18] <_`-`> for curiosity's sake.
[09:19] <Gnea> _`-`: again, that makes no sense.
[09:19] <bullgard4> !hdmi | breaker313
[09:19] <kt_> again same error man
[09:19] <kt_> no such partition ;/
[09:19] <Gnea> kt_: okay, change insmod ufs1 back to insmod ufs2
[09:19] <VF_123> Hi, does anyone know how to setup a Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01)
[09:19] <Gnea> kt_: rinse, repeat
[09:20] <Gnea> !broadcom | VF_123
[09:20] <VF_123> I know
[09:20] <VF_123> I followed those steps
[09:20] <Gnea> then please explain the error
[09:20] <kt_> rinse repeat?
[09:20] <fpietka> marklor
[09:20] <VF_123> I can connect for about 5 minutes after boot
[09:20] <Gnea> kt_: aye, save/quit, update-grub2, reboot
[09:20] <VF_123> then I lose connection, and I have to reboot
[09:21] <bullgard4> !sound | breaker313
[09:21] <Gnea> VF_123: what are you using to connect with? network manager or wicd?
[09:21] <jussi> How does one check which display driver the machine is using?
[09:21] <raviepic3> people i would like to remove the entire username and password based auth mechanism from my server and implement key based, how can i ? i read about rsa based but that only allows ssh and not the gui mode is it ?
[09:21] <raviepic3> what would be the right approach for me to consider ?
[09:21] <kt_> in set root
[09:21] <kt_> what should i type?
[09:22] <kt_> ufs or ufs1 or ufs2 ?
[09:22] <VF_123> Wicd in the tray
[09:22] <Gnea> raviepic3: what you read is correct.
[09:22] <kt_> in insmod its ufs2 now
[09:22] <Gnea> kt_: leave set root alone
[09:22] <raviepic3> Gnea, so how would i enable key based auth for other forms of login as well ?> like GUI mode
[09:22] <raviepic3> ?
[09:22] <kt_> ok
[09:22] <gunndawg> Does anyone who uses WeeChat know how I can get a channel list on the left side that shows the chanels I am in
[09:22] <VF_123> it's a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 install Gnea
[09:22] <Gnea> VF_123: and you're sure network manager has been completely disabled?
[09:22] <VF_123> How do I check that?
[09:22] <Gnea> raviepic3: are you talking about using a key-card?
[09:23] <Gnea> VF_123: by checking the process list
[09:23] <Gnea> gunndawg: oddly enough, a #weechat does exist :)
[09:23] <raviepic3> Gnea, dont know what a key card is, when googled getting weird results
[09:23] <raviepic3> kindly educate me
[09:24] <gunndawg> Gnea yeah but they offered only "read the FAQ" which I did look over
[09:24] <Jordan_U> kt_: Gnea: The device names you are using are completely invalid. They need to be something like (hd0,a) or (hd0,msdos1,bsd1), and if you really don't have any BSD bootloader installed then chainloader won't do you any good.
[09:24] <Gnea> raviepic3: a card that you swipe through a card reader connected to the computer to use in lieu of a password
[09:24] <Gnea> gunndawg: then tell them the FAQ didn't cover it
[09:24] <raviepic3> Gnea, no no, similar to rsa for all auth mechanisms
[09:25] <gunndawg> Gnea: based off prior experience (not saying all) with trying to get ubuntu help on irc I'll get the response "look harder"
[09:25] <Gnea> Jordan_U: ugh, and here I thought I could depend upon ubuntuforums
[09:25] <VF_123> I think it is disabled Gnea
[09:25] <gunndawg> Gnea: instead of actual help
[09:25] <VF_123> I only see wicd
[09:25] <spenza> #banjarnegara
[09:25] <raviepic3> Gnea, like when system starts it should ask to paste the key contents instead of username and password
[09:26] <raviepic3> and if the contents match allow him/her
[09:26] <raviepic3> no methods like these ?
[09:26] <jacktheripper> how can I mark files on fuse drives executable ? (i.e. tweak the default mount permissions)
[09:26] <Jordan_U> Gnea: See /usr/share/doc/grub-common/examples/grub.cfg for example entries for various OSs.
[09:26] <Gnea> gunndawg: keep in mind that the help you're looking for is with a specific application, which could be ran from slackware or redhat, thus it is distribution independent and the help channel for that application is the best place to ask, even if some of the people there aren't knowledgable
[09:26] <ramontayag> Ok it *seems* that the current stable kernel still have some journaling problems with some hard disks. I'm on ext4 - should I move to ext3? For those that didn't see my earlier messages: in iotop, every 20-30 seconds jdb2/sda1-8 pops up with 99.99% disk usage. it slows down my system and is really annoying. Been reading around and there seems to be so many solutions I don't know where to start. And I don't understand most of them. What should I do?
[09:26] <Gnea> raviepic3: that doesn't make any sense, at all.
[09:27] <raviepic3> Gnea, why ?
[09:27] <ramontayag> If my questions are too technical for this room, where should I go?
[09:27] <Switch> ramontayag: what's the question?
[09:28] <Switch> ramontayag: nobody answered your question because nobody cares
[09:28] <Jordan_U> Gnea: You may need to "insmod part_bsd" (So that grub will recognise BSD partition tables). Running "ls -l" at the grub shell can be usefull as well.
[09:28] <ramontayag> Switch, in iotop, every 20-30 seconds jdb2/sda1-8 pops up with 99.99% disk usage. it slows down my system and is really annoying. Been reading around and there seems to be so many solutions I don't know where to start. And I don't understand most of them. What should I do?
[09:28] <Gnea> raviepic3: because it provides no logical method of passing the information from the user interface to the computer.
[09:28] <ramontayag> Switch, yeah I wasn't sure if I was in the right room :)
[09:28] <Switch> ramontayag: I don
[09:29] <Switch> ramontayag: I don't know of any where else
[09:29] <Gnea> Switch: you've been warned.
[09:29] <ramontayag> Switch, http://superuser.com/questions/101640/disk-operations-freeze-debian has a similar problem but it seems particular to his hard disk. I'm on a seagate 1tb.
[09:29] <raviepic3> Gnea, what are the methods i can handle to avoid dos and ddos attacks in my server ?
[09:29] <Gnea> Jordan_U: yeah, that's what we were trying with insmod bsd
[09:29] <noobie25> hi...can someone recommened me a iso burner for ubuntu?
[09:29] <raviepic3> except for switching it off :)
[09:29] <Jordan_U> Gnea: It's "part_bsd".
[09:29] <Gnea> raviepic3: setting up a firewall, for starters
[09:29] <ssfdre38> where is apt.conf at?
[09:30] <Gnea> !firewall | raviepic3
[09:30] <Gnea> ssfdre38: open a terminal and type:  locate apt.conf

[09:31] <Switch> d
[09:31] <ramontayag> Switch, reading /var/log/messages I see "device reported invalid CHS sector 0" appear once in a while. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/285892 has a long history of a similar/same bug. But there's no solution yet
[09:31] <Switch> ramontayag: If there's not a solution, then it's a bug.
[09:31] <Gnea> Jordan_U: really? I looked in /boot/grub/ and found no part_bsd.mod
[09:32] <ramontayag> Switch, i also read using ext3 instead. but that would mean half a day of setting my the desktop again. but it seems it's my only option
[09:32] <Jordan_U> Gnea: Then you must be using a very old version of GRUB2. If you're using anything older than 1.98 you should definitely upgrade.'
[09:33] <noobie25> soreau: sorry to bother you....i did 'sudo apt-get install k3b'   unable to locate package k3b.   where do i update?
[09:33] <VF_123> About the b43 problem: I installed the LP-PHY driver, I'm using the network manager applet to connect.
[09:33] <Gnea> Jordan_U: ii  grub-pc                                                  1.98-1ubuntu9                                    GRand Unified Bootloader, version 2 (PC/BIOS
[09:33] <Jordan_U> Gnea: grub-install --version
[09:34] <Gnea> VF_123: so wicd isn't running?
[09:34] <Gnea> grub-install (GNU GRUB 1.98-1ubuntu9)
[09:34] <soreau> !info k3b
[09:34] <VF_123> Well when I type in top, it is sometimes
[09:34] <ssfdre38> do you know why im getting this error http://pastesite.com/21495
[09:34] <raviepic3> Gnea, so how do i disable username and password based login in ssh and enable it for rsa ?
[09:34] <soreau> noobie25: Make sure to do apt-get update first..
[09:34] <Gnea> VF_123: okay, then they are likely cancelling each other out - you need to run one or the other, but not both
[09:34] <Jordan_U> Gnea: Do you have a /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/part_bsd.mod ?
[09:35] <VF_123> The ubuntu software centre says that wicd isn't installed :o
[09:35] <noobie25> soreau:   thank you again =D
[09:35] <Gnea> Jordan_U: no, but there is a bsd.mod
[09:35] <Gnea> VF_123: and if you run this in a terminal:  ps axf | grep wicd

[09:49] <linux> gnea: what are the risks with ppa
[09:49] <Gnea> kt_: sorry, I'm not a robot, there are a couple more things that should be tried before uninstalling.

[09:51]  * Gnea refrains from bashing his head into the keyboard.
[09:51] <linux> gnea: is there no official ocaml package for ubuntu?
