[13:10] <zoulou> i just need some advice please...
[13:10] <Fredd> nightcrow: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/remote-administration.html has docs about puppet
[13:10] <Ibis> !ask | zoulou
[13:11] <compdoc> a205bw, thats from trying to install?
[13:11] <a205bw> i didn\t even see bootloader
[13:11] <almoxarife> a205bw: you installing 64bit on a 32bit?
[13:12] <compdoc> a205bw, it doesnt ask for the language to use?
[13:12] <zoulou> actually yesterday i bought some ram, so i upgraded to 8G. i have an intel c2duo e6550, so i run in 64bits now. when i have to choose my install iso, i have the choice between amd64 and x86. which one shall i get?
[13:12] <a205bw> 32bit on 64
[13:12] <a205bw> nop
[13:12] <Ibis> a205bw, I believe it's about time you mention the exact brand and model of your computer.
[13:12] <compdoc> a205bw, what version?
[13:12] <almoxarife> a205bw: the machine is 64bit?
[13:12] <a205bw> yes
[13:12] <a205bw> Asus F3Sg
[13:12] <a205bw> Should i tell hardware?
[13:13] <almoxarife> a205bw: so try installing a 64bit version
[13:13] <compdoc> Intel Core2 Duo T8300 2.4GHz Processor
[13:13] <Sidewinder1> a205bw, And, did you Md5sum the image, prior to burning/copying to USB?
[13:13] <zoulou> Ibis // ubottu actually yesterday i bought some ram, so i upgraded to 8G. i have an intel c2duo e6550, so i run in 64bits now. when i have to choose my install iso, i have the choice between amd64 and x86. which one shall i get?
[13:13] <compdoc> should work
[13:14] <Ibis> zoulou: 64 bit one.
[13:14] <globin> zoulou: amd64
[13:14] <zoulou> even if im not amd??
[13:14] <a205bw> sidewinder, no. its Canonical.
[13:14] <Ibis> zoulou: Yea.
[13:14] <a205bw> its from canonical*
[13:14] <globin> zoulou: yes
[13:14] <almoxarife> zoulou: you can always use the 32bit, but you have a 64 bit machine, why not use it ?
[13:14] <zoulou> ok thanks!
[13:14] <Ibis> That's the only choice other than x86 (32bit)
[13:15] <zoulou> because its intel, not amd, maybe instructions are diferent
[13:15] <Ibis> 64bit computers allows you to use more than 4GB of ram. (actually, a lot more than 3Gb)
[13:15] <zoulou> thanks bye
[13:15] <iceroot> zoulou: amd64 is for intel and amd
[13:15] <almoxarife> zoulou: it makes no difference
[13:15] <GirlyGirl> Atharva: Hi
[13:15] <iceroot> zoulou: like i386 is for intel and amd (i = intel)
[13:16] <zoulou> ok
[13:16] <jexmex> having permission problems trying to install anything using pecl
[13:16] <asparatu> a205bw: even though its from canonical the download could been corrupt and that is why he as if did MD5 checkum
[13:16] <Ibis> I find it weird they never simply call it "32bit" or "64bit".
[13:16] <a205bw> its not download.
[13:16] <jexmex> I even changed the temp dir to /var/tmp/pear/temp but that did not help
[13:16] <a205bw> its an CD from canonical
[13:16] <a205bw> from Shi[-it
[13:16] <a205bw> Ship-ity
[13:16] <tensorpudding> Ibis, historically it has supported more than just x86
[13:17] <tensorpudding> there are other 32-bit and 64-bit architectures
[13:17] <asparatu> a205bw: it can copy to the cd ok but it will not install correctly.. because i had that happen to me couple of time
[13:17] <a205bw> asparatu, i didin't burn this disk.
[13:17] <a205bw> i've got it from Canonical
[13:18] <a205bw> plus i've used it in the past
[13:18] <Mikey^> a205bw: Can you press Esc while boot up so you can see the text messages
[13:18] <tensorpudding> Ibis, if you see the download page, they call it 32-bit and 64-bit now
[13:18] <asparatu> a205bw ok... i understand...
[13:18] <Mikey^> and see what fails
[13:18] <almoxarife> a205bw: does your dvd play dvds without issues?
[13:18] <a205bw> no idea.
[13:18] <a205bw> i dont use disks
[13:18] <a205bw> but USB load fails too
[13:19] <a205bw> its kinda weird though, like: Fedora: loads from USB fails from CD, Arch &gentoo Fail though USB, load from CD
[13:19] <Ibis> a205bw: Try a minimal or a text based installer.
[13:19] <a205bw> i've been adviced to try x86_64 install
[13:19] <Ibis> I prefer text based. It's only 20MB download...
[13:19] <almoxarife> a205bw: do try
[13:20] <almoxarife> Ibis: a 20meg image of what?
[13:21] <Ibis> Text based ubuntu installer. (There may be one for that other distro you mentioned here earlier at that distro website)
[13:21] <a205bw> crunchbang?
[13:21] <a205bw> ill try ubuntu's first
[13:22] <almoxarife> a205bw: use the 'alternate' iso
[13:23] <pocoyo> ..
[13:24] <asparatu> a205bw: they this link to "alternate" iso    http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/alternative-download
[13:25] <a205bw> asparatu: almost finished dl
[13:25] <asparatu> ok
[13:26] <thorn> anyone have any tips on getting drivers for brother printers (specifically HL-2280DW) working? I tried the linux installer script from brother's website, as well as the lpr debian first. Don't think I've tried the cupswrapper debian from them yet... Maybe I'll do that while I wait for a response?
[13:26] <a205bw> writing
[13:27] <jack89> ciao
[13:27] <lordjj> Is there an Op here?
[13:27] <lordjj> admin?
[13:27] <Ibis> lordjj: Just "Ninja Ops" here :P
[13:27] <a205bw> Why?
[13:27] <lordjj> "natasha" seems to be a sex chat bot
[13:27] <Ibis> Just ask lordjj. Of visit #ubuntu-ops   maybe.
[13:28] <lordjj> XD
[13:28] <Ibis> There a ninjas jumpin about...
[13:28] <a205bw> nop
[13:28] <a205bw> not bot
[13:29] <Pici> lordjj: thanks for the report.
[13:29] <lordjj> Pici, no prob.
[13:29]  * Ibis wonders how a205bw would know. :S
[13:29] <a205bw> lol
[13:29] <lordjj> hmm... Ibis has a point *eerie music*....
[13:29] <lordjj> :P
[13:30] <a205bw> is WUBI worth a try?
[13:30] <Ibis> a205bw: Only if you have windows insalled.
[13:30] <Ibis> Otherwise, pointless.
[13:30] <lordjj> a205bw, that's probably all it's worth -a try
[13:30] <Anomie21> Hi, I've been trying to fix a external hard drive for a while now. Someone reccomended using Ubuntu (as I've failed with xp/macosx) is there a indepth guide/tutorial online on how to do this so I can print it out?
[13:31] <lordjj> a205bw, not for REAL actual use
[13:31] <a205bw> why is it so bad?
[13:31] <yorx736> a205bw: The best thing is just to replace Windows with Linux
[13:31] <lordjj> lordjj, it can easily get corrupted
[13:31] <a205bw> yorx, tharts what im trying to do :(
[13:31] <a205bw> well
[13:31] <Ibis> Anomie21: "Fix" an eternal harddrive? what do you mean by that exactly? DO you mean "REFORMAT" harddrive, then use it for whatever purposes?
[13:31] <a205bw> not completely
[13:31] <a205bw> because i need some specific software
[13:31] <Anomie21> ps: I done mind loosing all the data, just want it working again
[13:32] <Anomie21> *don't
[13:32] <lordjj> a205bw,  it can easily get corrupted. Happened to me. If for example the pc is shutdown prematurely (power out), its all corrupted.
[13:32] <madurax86> usb_set_interface failed and freeze what to do?
[13:32] <Anomie21> Ibis: Yeah, its a very confused little hard drive and when I plug it into XP it thinks it's a 1GB CD-ROM Drive
[13:32] <a205bw> ya
[13:32] <a205bw> Ntfs sucks abotu that:(
[13:32] <Ibis> REFORMAT harddrive means to permanently erase/delete your harddrive. (That means you can not recover anything from it afterwards).
[13:33] <Anomie21> Ibis: yeah thats fine
[13:33] <lordjj> a205bw, that's mainly because all your files that would other be stored normally are stored inside 1 big Wubi file on the windows partition. So one thing goes bad, it's all bad.
[13:33] <Ibis> Anomie21: You do not "Double click" in windows to access said harddrive. You Right click, and select "Explore" to actually get in that harddrive.
[13:34] <Ibis> You can try booting into a live Linux CD, and using the GParted   reformat tool to reformat that drive as well.
[13:34] <madurax86> usb_set_interface failed and freeze what to do?
[13:34] <madurax86> usb_set_interface failed and freeze what to do?
[13:34] <Anomie21> Ibis; I'm not a complete noob :0. Been trying to fix it for week, even the manufacturer couldnt figure out what was wrong with it
[13:34] <madurax86> sorry for double post
[13:34] <Ibis> madurax86: What exactly did you do to see that "message"?
[13:35] <madurax86> Ibis: kern.log
[13:35] <Anomie21> Someone reccomended something called lpdsk (iirc)
[13:38] <madurax86> Ibis: nothing the usb sound card is plugged in and this comes up once in a while
[13:38] <Ibis> madurax86: Want to go read that log file and paste the last logged entries in pastebin?
[13:38] <nightcrow> Hi
[13:38] <madurax86> Ibis: yes
[13:38] <nightcrow> Does anyone know of an alternative to puppet to manage my ubuntu servers
[13:38] <Ibis> (might be a kernel issue. O_o).
[13:38] <nightcrow> ?
[13:38] <Ibis> What version of linux are you using?
[13:39] <MrBoss> How I can use a IP for VPN when i connect this server?
[13:39] <nightcrow> Im finding Puppet quite complicated, difficult to set up and to use
[13:39] <MrBoss> I can connect but i cant resolve IP_LOCAL
[13:39] <Ibis> nightcrow: Did you check the page Fredd gave you? The URL?
[13:39] <nightcrow> Ibis: yes
[13:39] <madurax86> Ibis: natty stock i havent updated it
[13:39] <nightcrow> i guess im looking for an alternative
[13:39] <Ibis> nightcrow: Visit puppet support channel if they have one.
[13:40] <madurax86> Ibis: http://pastebin.com/aJvkkyDn
[13:40] <Ibis> madurax86: Might wanna try updating that then.
[13:40] <nightcrow> Ibis: do you know of anything else instead of puppet?
[13:40] <nightcrow> puppet
[13:41] <grizz> where can i download music?
[13:41] <Ibis> nightcrow: Nope. I've never done any major network management.
[13:41] <unimtest> helllo
[13:41] <ikonia> grizz: ubuntuone has a music shop
[13:41] <unimtest> asdasdasda
[13:41] <Ibis> madurax86: I'm reading a page that suggest it could also be USB conflicts. :S
[13:42] <Ibis> unimtest: Hello there. If you're seeking help, just ask a question (Like, get to the point).
[13:42] <nightcrow> ok
[13:42] <nightcrow> thank you Ibis
[13:43] <pixie79> hi all, is the a way in pam to say that the following module only applies to X users? I am looking at brining in an option to authenticate via a yubikey for sudo which would be required for some users but not others
[13:45] <madurax86> Ibis: yes it is  i think so too, i mean i can not get it if i dont use the usb sound card but i wanna use it is there a workaround?
[13:46] <susman> hi, how can i install two different versions of package with apt? i mean situation like this: i need two pythons in system 2.6 and 2.7, so i also need two versions of python-lxml - one for 2.6, other for 2.7, but apt installs it only for the default one...
[13:50] <yorx736> susman: If the package names are the same for the different versions, you can't use apt. You'll have to install one version yourself manually. Python is notorious for this dependency hell.
[13:50] <The_BROS> How to disable long refreshing of speeddial in Firefox?
[13:50] <ikonia> speed dial ?
[13:50] <yorx736> susman: It may be someone else has provided a non-official repo of the other Python versions with a different package name, it's worth looking
[13:53] <Zanzur> uit
[13:54] <susman> yorx736: kind of brutal solution is to install it via easy_install/pimp/etc, but in this case apt - don't know nothing about this packages in system, what makes system not consistent, trying to avid it...
[13:55] <The_BROS> How to make speeddial load faster?
[13:55] <yorx736> The_BROS: What are you talking about?
[13:55] <Calinou> don't use it. nah... joking... why load faster
[13:55] <Calinou> I don't use firefox
[13:56] <The_BROS> yorx736: there is speeddial plugin in Firefox. It runs very slowly
[13:56] <Ibis> susman: Just use: apt-get install python3           Or go to the python website, and download python3.2.2,         ./configure && make && sudo make altinstall           (in case you want python3.2 now, notice the altinstall)
[13:57] <yorx736> yorx736: Contact the developer
[13:57] <yorx736> The_BROS: Contact the developer
[13:58] <hiwk> I'd like to crop pdfs command-line (for use in a script), any hints? preferably apt-getable
[13:58] <nmepntgrm> hello, how to get rid of "gstreamer has encountered streaming error"
[13:59] <vergil> urk
[13:59] <sever> привет
[14:00] <zykotick9> !ru | sever
[14:00] <usr13> nmepntgrm: What application is giving  you the error?
[14:00] <CromoZoneX> Hello everybody, i've got a problem with my laptop dell inspiron, after installing nvidia drivers on "aditional drivers" unity won't run, i mention that my videocard chipset is supported by unity: nvidia 525m. How do i fix this?
[14:00] <nmepntgrm> First guayadeque gave me that
[14:00] <Ibis> CromoZoneX: Version of Ubuntu? 11.04?
[14:00] <CromoZoneX> 11.04, yes
[14:00] <nmepntgrm> so i tried exaile, also gave me
[14:01] <killfoo_> hi! i try to boot ubuntu on a macbook pro but this appears: unable to find a medium containing a live file system anyone knows why??
[14:01] <Suhel> hi guys...
[14:01] <usr13> killfoo_: 32bit or 64?
[14:02] <Suhel> 1 quick question : Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10?
[14:02] <killfoo_> usr13 64
[14:02] <Ibis> CromoZoneX: Then it's pushing you to Ubuntu Classic.           You can always try using experimental 3d nouveau driver, (It appears after removing and rebooting nvidia with Propriety driver manager)
[14:02] <usr13> CromoZoneX: 32bit or 64?
[14:02] <usr13> killfoo_: Sorry, that was for CromoZoneX
[14:02] <CromoZoneX> 64 bit
[14:02] <Ibis> CromoZoneX: Or just simply install Unity-2d.          sudo apt-get install unity-2d
[14:02] <engammalsko> Can someone help me to setup nullmailer?
[14:02] <CromoZoneX> i want unity 3d, strictly....
[14:02] <ryannathans> GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS!
[14:03] <ryannathans> reformat my raid array time
[14:03] <jasonmsp> hey all.  Im running natty.  Found these intructions online.  Where is places???  From  gnome. Go to places –> Connect to Server –> Secure WebDAV
[14:03] <Suhel> anyone?
[14:03] <phlak_user> !anyone | suhel
[14:03] <Ibis> CromoZoneX: Yea me too, but nvidia users been experiencing unity3d issues though. (Me being one of them).
[14:03] <Suhel> phlak_user 1 quick question : Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10?
[14:04] <CromoZoneX> So there's no solution? You are kiddin' me right?
[14:04] <engammalsko> Can someone help me configure nullmailer please?
[14:04] <ryannathans> GOOD BYE CRUEL WORLD!
[14:04] <compdoc> engammalsko, its pretty simple
[14:04] <phlak_user> Suhel: that doesnt make any sense
[14:04] <engammalsko> compdoc: I don't understand how to do it.
[14:04] <Ibis> CromoZoneX: Might be something in it for you. As you're more than likely using a graphic card that's a lot better than mines.
[14:04] <Desdenova_> how can i find the components of the ia32-libs package?
[14:05] <compdoc> engammalsko, let me log onto a server that has it running so I can walk you thru it
[14:05] <lordjj> Suhel, why not 11.x?
[14:05] <Suhel> phlak_user Should I install 10.04 or 10.10? which one is better and stable?
[14:05] <Ibis> CromoZoneX: Using geforce ?
[14:05] <phlak_user> Suhel: neither; the latest is 11.04 and 11.10 is due for release on 13 Oct
[14:05] <Ibis> Suhel: You do not want 11.04 or 11.10? O_O
[14:05] <CromoZoneX> I've got on my desktop pc, nvidia 9500gt and runs unity quite well with nvidia drivers installed, why my laptop can't run unity with nvidia drivers installed? it's so weird!
[14:05] <oCean> Desdenova_: if it's already installed: dpkg -L ia32-libs
[14:05] <engammalsko> compdoc thanks. I just wanna be able to send mails from my server to any email adress.
[14:05] <Suhel> lordjj already using 11.10 its sucking my battery like a leech tried all the workarounds available on the internet
[14:05] <compdoc> engammalsko, do you have it installed?
[14:05] <auronandace> Suhel: 10.04 is lts and will be supported longer than 10.10
[14:05] <oCean> Suhel: Oneiric/11.10 is not yet released (still beta). Please join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion
[14:05] <engammalsko> compdoc: Yes.
[14:06] <Suhel> ocean: am talking about the beta
[14:06] <oCean> Suhel: not here, in #ubuntu+1 channel please
[14:06] <yorx736> Suhel: I use 10.10 as 11.04 has an very user unfriendly interface
[14:06] <usr13> CromoZoneX: Use Synaptic Package Manager. And then search for nvidia-current. Click the "Apply" button and follow the on-screen instructions to install or update the new graphics driver.
[14:06] <lordjj> Suhel, go 10.04 for the support then. But I'd look around about the battery issue further first.
[14:06] <Suhel> ocean: am asking about 10.10 i.e. MARVERICK not OCELOT oh god
[14:06] <Desdenova_> oCean: no it isn't. im not using ubuntu. I just know that for an application to run in linux it needs this package and im trying to find out my distro's equivalent
[14:06] <compdoc> engammalsko, open a term window and run:   sudo dpkg-reconfigure nullmailer
[14:06] <phlak_user> Suhel: I use 11.04 on my netbook and i dont have battery issues yet
[14:06] <engammalsko> compdoc:  done
[14:07] <oCean> Desdenova_: one sec
[14:07] <auronandace> yorx736: you don't have to use unity in 11.04 if you don't want to
[14:07] <Ibis> Suhel: In Ubuntu 11.04, you can always use Ubuntu Classic,  (You can select what type of deskto you can use BEFORE logging into your user account)
[14:07] <ryannathans> to anyone i was talking to previously: ring the alarmbells, i'm reformatting the whole array
[14:07] <Suhel> phlak_user some users dont have, fortunate ones
[14:07] <Turingi> What's a way to run a regex pattern against a text and to get all subsets of the text which match the pattern?
[14:07] <Suhel> lbis Tried it too, still sucks more battery
[14:07] <Ibis> yorx736: Theres Ubuntu Classic in there.
[14:07] <phlak_user> Suhel: how is the distro connected to the battery?
[14:07] <compdoc> engammalsko, the first screen should have the full name of the computer, like: computername.domain.com
[14:07] <Suhel> phlak_user its the kernel the distro is using
[14:08] <CromoZoneX> didn't worked with synaptic manager...
[14:08] <phlak_user> Suhel: no it isnt
[14:08] <oCean> Desdenova_: http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/amd64/ia32-libs/filelist  that's the complete filelist for this package on ubuntu
[14:08] <yorx736> auronandace: I know, but I find the knowledge of its existence painful. I'll be moving to Gnome Shell soon as possible
[14:08] <Desdenova_> ocean: thanks a lot :)
[14:08] <compdoc> engammalsko, do you have a smart host to send mails?
[14:08] <Turingi> or more exactly, what's a command line way to extract the values all "NAME": "value", pairs in a JSON file?
[14:08] <usr13> CromoZoneX: Hummm...  I don't know what a smart host is so I guess no.
[14:08] <phlak_user> Suhel: the kernel I am on is 2.6.38-10-generic
[14:08] <CromoZoneX> It's there a command on terminal so i can install the latest drivers from terminal?
[14:09] <phlak_user> Suhel: nope
[14:09] <auronandace> yorx736: good that you know there are alternatives :) (i prefer xfce)
[14:09] <compdoc> engammalsko, do you use a domain name?
[14:09] <engammalsko> compdoc: Yes.
[14:09] <Suhel> phlak_user erm that sums it up, I'll give you the link of the bug shortly, but still what do you reckon? 10.04 or 10.10?
[14:09] <compdoc> engammalsko, well, on my lan, I use the whole domain name
[14:09] <phlak_user> Suhel: id still stick to 11.04 :)
[14:10] <usr13> CromoZoneX: apt-cache search nvidia-current
[14:10] <Suhel> phlak_user lol, I was asking for my poor laptop
[14:10] <engammalsko> compdoc: So if my computer name is engammalsko and I have a domain that's superbfish.com I should use engammalsko.superbfish.com as mail name?
[14:10] <compdoc> yup
[14:10] <hugenumber> Suhel my laptops lover is 10.04
[14:11] <auronandace> Suhel: 10.04 is lts and will be supported longer than 10.10
[14:11] <Turingi> Is there a JSON query console tool included in ubuntu?
[14:11] <usr13> CromoZoneX: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[14:11] <Suhel> hugenumber auronandace thanks mates I'll try it :)
[14:11] <phlak_user> Suhel: this issue? -> http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_linux_epb&num=1

[14:12] <Suhel> phlak_user YUP, I tried all the workarounds available on internet with no luck
[14:13] <phlak_user> Suhel: so wouldnt it make sense for you to just install an older kernel rather than change the whole distro?
[14:13] <Suhel> phlak_user I read somewhere that 11.xx dont support old kernels, kinda makes em unstable, still new to ubuntu so cant make my own judgements
[14:14] <usr13> Suhel: Depends on how you define "old kernels"
[14:14] <phlak_user> Suhel: best way to find out is to try it out innit?
[14:15] <Suhel> usr13 previous kernels lol
[14:15] <th_> phlak_user: all news from phoronix regarding this "power regression" are just flame, such thing doesn't exist
[14:15] <Suhel> th_ its not flame, I saw the difference myself
[14:16] <usr13> Suhel: And to say that any version of Ubuntu will not support "old kernels" would be an error.  The kernel supports the distribution's packages, not the other way around.
[14:16] <phlak_user> th_: possible dude, ive never heard of it before; also seems to affect IA_32
[14:16] <Suhel> usr13 thanks didnt knew that
[14:16] <th_> phlak_user: it's a bios issue
[14:16] <th_> phlak_user: and quite simply can be solved with a single kernel parameter
[14:17] <Suhel> th_ can you plz tell me how it can be solved?
[14:17] <phlak_user> th_: im sure; the fix needs to be directed at Suhel
[14:17] <DannyDeVito> which channel do i go to ask about "tzdata-java" questions?
[14:17] <Suhel> phlak_user yeah I was wondering the same...
[14:18] <th_> It's a motherboard issue. BIOS supports ASPM but doesn't advertise it => Linux doesn't try using hardware that isn't there => power usage goes up => Linux gets blamed.
[14:18] <th_> http://www.fewt.com/2011/09/about-kernel-30-power-regression-myth.html there's whole issue explained, including "fix"
[14:18] <Companion> th_, there is a PPA for that
[14:18] <th_> in short: Set 'pcie_aspm=force' on the kernel command line of grub.conf, reboot, and move on with life.
[14:18] <caddoo> is there any way to view a MsSQL database in ubuntu
[14:19] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[14:19] <Suhel> th_ didnt work dude
[14:19] <Suhel> th_ I already tried it
[14:19] <Companion> Suhel, there is a PPA for that :)
[14:19] <usr13> caddoo: yes
[14:20] <caddoo> usr13:  I have a SQL dump of the MsSQL what tool could i use
[14:20] <Suhel> Companion erm didnt get you
[14:20] <Companion> Suhel, its just a joke :')
[14:20] <Suhel> Companion lol
[14:20]  * Companion is running at kerenel 3.0 :)
[14:20] <usr13> caddoo: see:  man mysql
[14:20] <caddoo> thanks
[14:20] <Suhel> th_ If you are still here,  I tried that fix (like I said, I tried all the workarounds) but it dint work for me
[14:21] <phlak_user> usr13: he's talking about M$SQL (SQL Server?)
[14:21] <usr13> o
[14:22] <th_> Suhel: try installing 'powertop', it's pretty good for optimizing for laptop usage
[14:22] <pendergast> what would be the most painless way of setting your internet connection to be shared via wlan0?
[14:22] <phlak_user> !ics| pendergast
[14:22] <usr13> caddoo: Sorry, I do not know about MsSQL (I missunderstood you)
[14:22] <Suhel> th_ already have it but on 11.10 there are not much features of powertop available
[14:22] <bearhunter> can someone who can help me fix a problem send please me a query?
[14:22] <phlak_user> bearhunter: ask the question dude
[14:23] <Suhel> so tis decided, I will first try downgrading the kernel if it wont work 10.04 LTS is the answer, thanks all
[14:23] <phlak_user> Suhel: atb
[14:23] <Suhel> phlak_user thanks :)
[14:25] <phlak_user> caddoo: this might help -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=936286
[14:25] <DannyDeVito> I installed ubuntu studio 11.04 on a partition on my hard drive and whenever i install packages it gets to 95% and has an input out error relating to tzdata-java
[14:26] <Companion> DannyDeVito, try a different mirror
[14:27] <DannyDeVito> Companion, i'm not sure I know what you are refering to: different mirror
[14:27] <_ramo> hi
[14:27] <Companion> DannyDeVito, your new to linux?
[14:27] <DannyDeVito> Campanion, yes
[14:27] <yorx736> Companion: Most Hollywood actors aren't computer literate
[14:27] <_ramo> i would like to install redmine on my ubuntu 10.04. if i do a apt-cache showpgk redmine i get the 0.9.3-1 version . this is an very old one
[14:27] <Companion> yorx736, he aint hollywood he's an apple fanboy
[14:28] <jrib> _ramo: you are using 10.04
[14:28] <yorx736> _ramo: Just get the latest version off their website and install manually then
[14:28] <zykotick9> _ramo, packages don't get upgraded after a release, you could check for a PPA perhaps.
[14:28] <asdjaputra> Companion, that's a bit crude
[14:29] <asdjaputra> DannyDeVito, have you installed tzdata-java?
[14:29] <_ramo> jrib yorx736 and zykotick9 i don't konw if i have all the dependencies for the latest version of redmine, and i don't konw what ppa is
[14:29] <_ramo> <-relative new to ubuntu
[14:29] <DannyDeVito> asdjaputra, It says I have it installed already
[14:29] <Companion> DannyDeVito, there are multiple ways to fix it: #1 Try again without additional downloads, #2 Check DNS servers (If they can reach their mirrors), #3 or use a full medium (6 DVD's?)
[14:29] <zykotick9> !ppa | _ramo
[14:29] <asdjaputra> !ppa | _ramo
[14:29] <Companion> _ramo, Archlinux is way more easyer and organized then Ubuntu but yet I respect ubuntu since its on my server :')
[14:30] <jrib> _ramo: 10.04 repositories have packages from april 2010 at the latest.  Either use a ppa, use a newer version of ubuntu, or install redmine yourself
[14:30] <asdjaputra> DannyDeVito, can you show me the error message (at http://goo.gl/ixcN9)
[14:30] <phlak_user> !info redmine | _ramo
[14:30] <kriestof> Hi, is here any way to acellerate my flash player on Ubuntu?
[14:30] <Companion> kriestof, whats the actual problem?
[14:30] <_ramo> okay, ppa is not a good choice in my case
[14:30] <DannyDeVito> asdjaputra thank you
[14:30] <Companion> kriestof, do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:31] <yorx736> kriestof: Two things. Install the proprietary drivers if you haven't already, and ensure you have the latest version of Flash from the partner repository
[14:31] <kriestof> yorx736: it depends on graphic drivers?
[14:31] <asdjaputra> DannyDeVito, wait aren't you gonna show me a copy of the error message?
[14:31] <phlak_user> kriestof: you did mean hardware acceleration didnt you?
[14:32] <kriestof> phlak_user: Maybe, but this is first time I need it. Coz I only use some simple programs and web browser. So it can be first time I need it.
[14:33] <kriestof> Ok, thanks guys I will check it!
[14:34] <daveinlv> Got a samba/nautilus question: I mount a Windows 7 share on 10.04 via nautilus, the share has full permissions for my user acct. But thru nautilus, I seem to only have RO rights to it. I cannot write to the share. However, if I go to the .gvfs directory where its mounted, I can read/write via cmdline just fine.. What gives??
[14:35] <phlak_user> daveinlv: can you pastebin the output of mount?
[14:37] <daveinlv> phlak_user: I know how to pastebin, but how do I get that from nautilus when it mounts the share on .gvfs?
[14:37] <phlak_user> daveinlv: just run mount in a terminal
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> daveinlv: run:  ln -s ~/.gvfs ~/Mounted
[14:37] <daveinlv> oh ok...
[14:37] <daveinlv> ok will do
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> daveinlv: makes life easier ;)

[14:40] <eplus> hlelo
[14:40] <eplus> *hello
[14:41] <eplus> can i ssh tunnel and then connect to my ubuntu desktop without having to enter a password in the "Remote Desktop Preferences" setting?
[14:41] <eplus> as i am already authenticated through SSH
[14:41] <sjuxax> Can anyone tell me how to send back certain packets to an arbitrary box on the network with iptables, without mangling the packets (i.e. removing real dest info?)
[14:41] <eplus> do you think is a good idea?
[14:42] <sjuxax> eplus: you can do that if you want to run a vnc server without a password
[14:42] <ryannathans> I can't partition my drive! wow...
[14:42] <sjuxax> but vnc won't accept your ssh authorization afaik
[14:42] <sjuxax> eplus: Do NOT do that unless you are 100% sure that your VNC server is not accessible by anyone
[14:42] <Polah> eplus, sjuxax: Better idea to just now do it at all.
[14:43] <eplus> the only port forwarded to the ubuntu box is SSH
[14:43] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: ping
[14:43] <eplus> no standard vnc
[14:44] <eplus> so i authenticate with ssh, create tunnel, then connect via vnc from windows
[14:44] <eplus> or within lan without any more authentication

[14:51] <oCean> ryannathans: this channel is not for ranting, you can ask your questions in single line, then wait for a response
[14:52] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: I NEED an install for work, any suggestions?
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> oronzio: they are photo apps, they can usually detect camera
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: puppy may be able to see it

If I follow the OMGBroken instructions I can get it back up and it appears to be ok but still won't reboot, the virtual console last displays "mount request for 'tmpfs' at '/run/shm'". Can anyone advise me how I can get it to cleanly reboot?
[14:55] <emorris> ryannathans, as I think I said the other day, it sounds like a hardware problem. As I said a few minutes ago, you might want to post on the Ubuntu Forums. That way, you won't have to keep going over the same thing.
[14:55] <dr_willis> ryannathans: try 11.10 as a test?
[14:55] <ryannathans> emorris: there is nothing wrong with the hardware
[14:55] <joops> Is anyone using an opensource machine db?
[14:55] <ryannathans> dr_willis: I don't want a beta OS as my primary system
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> oronzio: ried gphoto? Also try oneiric liveCD, see if its detected there
[14:56] <Johnny_Giggles> I have Ubuntu and Windows NTFS side by side on my hard disk.  Is it possible for me to remove the Ubuntu partition and expand the Windows partition using Ubuntu?  What's the easiest way?

[14:56] <dr_willis> ryannathans:  as a test... and its to be released in like a week..
[14:56] <oronzio> ActionParsnip: ok, now it works. i connected the usb cable when the camera is taking photo.. thanks
[14:56] <BlouBlou> is 11.10 going to be released tomorrow?
[14:56] <Johnny_Giggles> ryannathans, what program do I need?
[14:56] <ryannathans> Johnny_Giggles: Gparted
[14:56] <Johnny_Giggles> ryannathans, okey dokey
[14:56] <oCean> BlouBlou: when it's ready. General availability is planned for 13th

[14:59] <tyler_d> any help would be great
[14:59] <emorris> virgo, did you browse for it from IE? Because it has to use the virtual windows drives I believe
[14:59] <Johnny_Giggles> Please look at the lower right corner of this screenshot.  Is this a graphics bug?  The trash menu items don't line up with the horizontal lines.  http://imagebin.org/178478
[14:59] <oCean> virgo: how is that an ubuntu issue?
[14:59] <virgo> ahh, you mean i should use the open menu

[14:59] <virgo> sorry, yeah its kinda offtopic
[15:00] <oCean> virgo: not "kinda", please find a more appropriate channel
[15:00] <daveinlv> phlak_user: Took me awhile to remember all the intricacies of the mount command... The share mounts fine at the command line.. and as long as I uid it to my user name on linux, I can read/write just fine.. Just like when Nautilus mounts the share.. Nautilus seems to have other ideas about whether I have full rights to the share...
[15:01] <sonicated> If no one answers a question is there an ettiquette in here of how to re-ask? :)
[15:01] <tattus> hi all
[15:02] <Pici> sonicated: Oneiric questions belong in #ubuntu+1, not here.
[15:02] <tattus> when will ubuntu 11.10 be released ?
[15:02] <phlak_user> daveinlv: which is why if you pastebin the output of the mount command (without any arguments), we can see how Nautilus mounted it
[15:02] <oCean> tattus:  when it's ready. General availability is planned for 13th
[15:02] <sonicated> Pici: oops, sorry. Thanks for telling me, clue++ :)
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> oronzio: np man
[15:02] <emorris> Pici, the IRC guidelines say "If you don't get answers immediately, please wait a few minutes before asking again. If it's busy: wait even longer. If no one answers: don't get mad, maybe no one who is around right now knows. "
[15:02] <tattus> oCean: thanks ;D
[15:03] <emorris> sonicated, **
[15:03] <Pici> emorris: I'm aware ;)

[15:04] <B0bby> I want to know who's use using more bandwidth  in my LAn
[15:04] <B0bby> how can I procede
[15:04] <B0bby> ?
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> B0bby: do you use a rouer?
[15:05] <tyler_d> more specific then. how do you make insmod perminent?
[15:05] <B0bby> ActionParsnip, yes but I don't trust it.. it's a stupid Sagem router
[15:05] <genii-around> tyler_d: Put the module name in /etc/modules
[15:05] <tyler_d> genii-around: is that the same or similair to modprobe?
[15:06] <genii-around> tyler_d: It just adds that module name to the ones that get loaded every boot time.
[15:06] <genii-around> tyler_d: The system will automatically modprobe <modulename> for you
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> B0bby: does it have data counters and such
[15:07] <daveinlv> phlak_user: Its on the listed pastebin.. pasted by lvdave...
[15:07] <tyler_d> genii-around: and to make a script run just stick it in /etc/rc.... what run level?
[15:07] <tyler_d> genii-around: and tyvm :)
[15:07] <genii-around> tyler_d: Runlevels are deprecated. Better to make an upstart script instead and put it in /etc/init
[15:08] <Zoidberg__> hello all
[15:08] <tyler_d> genii-around: very good, so upstart script in init.d?
[15:08] <tyler_d> genii-around: n/m init
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> !boot
[15:09] <B0bby> ActionParsnip, the router only accept connections from another gateway/firewall
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> B0bby: hmm, not sure. I'd ask in ##networking too
[15:09] <genii-around> ActionParsnip: The factoid is outdated
[15:11] <Zoidberg__> anyone here willing to help me install Ubuntu on an Apple using a USB stick? My cd tray is broken - I've tried it several times with little success
[15:11] <SIFTU> B0bby: you have to do it at the router, and a feature like QoS would tell you, else if you had a managed switch you could find out via snmp
[15:11] <nphase> is there something in the ubuntu php+mysql bundle that only lets one active thread happen at a time?
[15:11] <daveinlv> phlak_user: Pastebin=http://paste.ubuntu.com/706155/
[15:11] <B0bby> SIFTU, ok thank you
[15:11] <Polah> Zoidberg__: Apples don't tend to have USB ports, or any sort of hardware interface in fact.
[15:12] <nphase> per session id?
[15:12] <Zoidberg__> @Polah , heh heh a Mac I mean ;)
[15:13] <engammalsko> Can anyone help me? I really don't understand how to set up my server so I can send mails with php.

[15:15] <engammalsko> emorris: I can't send mail. I can't be more specific. I'm using mail(); and I don't recieve any mails.
[15:16] <nixmaniack> can anybody help me installing nVidia drivers?
[15:16] <emorris> engammalsko, can you send mail using the mail command?

[15:16] <R3dy> Jahcros: how are you
[15:17] <davi> HI HOW CAN I UPDATE JAVA PLUGIN IN TERMINAL
[15:17] <Zoidberg__> anyone here willing to help me install Ubuntu on a MacBook Pro running SnowLeopard using a USB stick? My cd tray is broken - I've tried it several times with little success
[15:17] <MonkeyDust> davi: caps please
[15:17] <davi> sorry
[15:17] <emorris> engammalsko, try replacing the email address with your local username for now and see if that works
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> davi: I already told you...
[15:17] <MrElendig> davi: man aptitude
[15:17] <engammalsko> emorris: And how do I know if it works?
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> MrElendig: the java license has changed
[15:18] <silverarrow> MonkeyDust, are there anyone there, or are you mostly clearing this channel ?
[15:18] <davi> i really tried
[15:18] <dr_willis> davi download latest and install it. if you need the sun oracle java
[15:18] <MrElendig> ActionParsnip: I know
[15:18] <emorris> engammalsko, just type mail, and see if it appears
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> MrElendig: so aptitude won't help
[15:18] <engammalsko> emorris: If what appaears?
[15:18] <MrElendig> ActionParsnip: that is actually wrong. openjdk + icedtea-web works
[15:18] <emorris> the mail you sent to yourself
[15:18] <MrElendig> and is less evil
[15:19] <engammalsko> emorris: And how do I check that?
[15:19] <dr_willis> davi the package manager updates the gpl java version
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> MrElendig: openjdk is in a default install, so its a safe assumption the user wants oracle's java
[15:19] <engammalsko> emorris: mail engammalsko
[15:19] <engammalsko> Cc:
[15:19] <engammalsko> Subject: fisk
[15:19] <engammalsko> Null message body; hope that's ok
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> MrElendig: so not wrong at all
[15:19] <MrElendig> ActionParsnip: nha, maybe he wants openjdk7 instead of 6?
[15:19] <emorris> engammalsko, now just type mail
[15:19] <davi> yes
[15:19] <davi> 7
[15:19] <dr_willis> davi yes to what...
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> davi: do you want oracle's java?
[15:19] <engammalsko> emorris: Yes I got it :)
[15:20] <davi> i wanna one what works in the internet baking
[15:20] <Zoidberg__> to be specific..... I've installed rEFIt, dd the Ubuntu.iso to USB. Now at the refit screen it does not show my USB as a mountable system. Thoughts?
[15:20] <Johnny_Giggles> Zoidberg__, you have to do more than just dd the iso to USB
[15:20] <Johnny_Giggles> Zoidberg__, look for universal usb installer
[15:20] <davi> my bank ask for the last version
[15:21] <Ibis> Is this an issue with driver, or Unity itself? http://i.imgur.com/SKuHC.jpg
[15:21] <engammalsko> emorris: So what shall I do now? Do I need to reconfigure something?
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> davi: grab the .run file from www.java.com   copy it to /opt and mark it executable and run it, then make a symlink in your browser plugins folder to /opt/jre1.6.0_27/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
[15:21] <Ibis> Nvidia driver*
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> davi: I assume 32bit OS
[15:22] <davi> ok thans
[15:22] <ActionParsnip> Ibis: press ALT+F2 and run:  unity --replace
[15:22] <emorris> engammalsko, you're not on a home internet connection are you/
[15:24] <engammalsko> emorris: This may sound stupid but what's that? I'm just on a normal wired connection.
[15:25] <dsouls> hi
[15:25] <emorris> engammalsko, what I mean is, are you connecting in your house or from work or something? The reason I ask is a lot of home broadband IP addresses are on a blacklist.
[15:26] <Satisfied_Zoidy> Thanks for the help guys, I think I've found a solution
[15:26] <Satisfied_Zoidy> Cheers
[15:26] <engammalsko> emorris: Yes i'm connected at home.

[15:26] <holtgrew> Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and I have a problem with wmii. "wmiir read /" prints garbage between the actual entries. Maybe this is a locale/encoding problem? Can anyone help me with this?
[15:28] <dsouls> I'm using kernel <IP_ADDRESS>+ what's the plus ('+') at the end stands for?
[15:28] <Companion> dsouls, that means your special
[15:29] <CoolCoder> I have an issue with kdesvn? i have downloaded a repository and it was showing symbols of updates and commits. but when i on svn today, its not showing any symbols.
[15:29] <emorris> engammalsko, go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ , copy your IP address and paste it into http://www.spamhaus.org/lookup.lasso . That will tell you if it's on any of the blacklists or not. If it is, it is unsurprising that mail won't get through.
[15:29] <dsouls> some apps have problems with this + at the end, that's the reason for asking
[15:29] <CoolCoder> I have an issue with kdesvn? i have downloaded a repository and it was showing symbols of updates and commits. but when i on svn today, its not showing any symbols.
[15:29] <engammalsko> emorris: I checked on a other site. magic-net.info but I can look there as well
[15:30] <engammalsko> emorris: <IP_ADDRESS> is not listed in the SBL
[15:30] <engammalsko>  <IP_ADDRESS> is not listed in the PBL
[15:30] <engammalsko>  <IP_ADDRESS> is not listed in the XBL
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> dsouls: did you get the kernel via updates?
[15:32] <emorris> engammalsko, fair dos, do you  know what mta you are using?
[15:32] <dsouls> ActionParsnip: it's a build for a netbook
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> dsouls: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[15:32] <dsouls> natty
[15:32] <brunomptorres> hi
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> dsouls: weird, not heard of a kernel with + before
[15:32] <holtgrew> Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and I have a problem with wmii. "wmiir read /" prints garbage between the actual entries. Maybe this is a locale/encoding problem?
[15:33] <engammalsko> emorris: What is mta?
[15:33] <neil_m> mail transfer agent
[15:34] <engammalsko> emorris: message transfer agent?
[15:34] <dsouls> ActionParsnip: http://chromeos-cr48.blogspot.com/2011/04/ubuntu-1104-for-cr-48-is-ready.html this one
[15:34] <emorris> engammalsko, message transfer agent - probably exim4, sendmail or postfix
[15:34] <engammalsko> emorris: postfix and nullmailer I guess.
[15:34] <Ibis> ActionParsnip: Thanks for that command, but I only wanted to know what was causing that problem :S
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> dsouls: is it chrome OS?
[15:34] <Ibis> I already know it can not be fixed at this time.
[15:34] <ryannathans> 11.10 has kernel panic too, fatal error accessing modules
[15:35] <dsouls> ActionParsnip: it's a Chromebook, I replaced Chrome OS by Ubuntu
[15:35] <emorris> engammalsko, have you done a sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix?
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> dsouls: then you should be using the kernel from the repos...
[15:35] <engammalsko> emorris: Yes but I don't know if it's correct.
[15:35] <Ibis> I've been keeping track to see if the folks from launchpad is fixing it or not.
[15:35] <ryannathans> is everyone getting kernel panic on 11.04 and 11.10?
[15:36] <johnlew> hello everyone
[15:36] <Ibis> Kernal panic?
[15:36] <drei> I'm still on 10.10 :p
[15:36] <Ibis> Kernel*
[15:36] <emorris> engammalsko, you seen this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Postfix
[15:36] <ryannathans> Ibis: yup
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: no panic here on Oneiric, never had one
[15:36] <dsouls> ActionParsnip: I can't find the sources for kernel with +, so basically I don't understand what the symbol stands for
[15:36] <drei> lol, the kernel is still in the 2.x
[15:36] <dsouls> on repos
[15:36] <Ibis> I haven't had any kernel related issues. Just graphic 3D issues.
[15:37] <ryannathans> On boot it complains it has a fatal error accessing something like /lib/<IP_ADDRESS>-11 modules
[15:37] <engammalsko> emorris: no.
[15:37] <ryannathans> 11.10 lasts about 4 seconds, 11.04 lasts 3
[15:37] <Ibis> And the bug I speak of already been reported. I'm just waiting for th fix so I can enjoy unity 3D.
[15:37] <emorris> engammalsko, take a look at that. I've only used exim4, so can't be much help with postfix I'm afraid
[15:38] <engammalsko> emorris: Can you help me with exim4 instead?
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: oneiric support in #ubuntu+1
[15:39] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: Would i need this? http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man4/aac.4freebsd.html
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: not sure
[15:39] <ryannathans> I don't want 11.10 support, i want ANY working ubuntu
[15:39] <Galaxor> Hi.  I'm getting an error 1: operation not permitted when trying to (I think) create shared memory.  How do I control the shm permissions?
[15:40] <emorris> engammalsko, maybe, but I don't know a massive amount. Mostly if I just install exim4 then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config and go through that it just works
[15:40] <edbian> Galaxor: shared memory?
[15:40] <dsouls> is there any issue with sound on ubuntu 11.04? I tried with pulseaudio and alsa and sometimes when I boot the system I don't have sound, I've to reboot like Windows to properly start the sound, and sometimes works, sometimes requires another reboot. Any idea?
[15:41] <ryannathans> are ubuntu forums dead?
[15:41] <xxiao> a dumb question, how can I check if my ubuntu is 64 bit or 32bit
[15:41] <edbian> xxiao: uname -a
[15:41] <edbian> ryannathans: no?
[15:41] <ryannathans> edbian: I can't access http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-448444.html
[15:42] <Galaxor> edbian: Truth be told, I'm trying to install oracle.  When it starts up, it tells me that it got an error 1: operation not permitted, when trying to start up some IPC.  I've heard some vague references to shm.
[15:42] <edbian> ryannathans: strange, neither can I put ubuntuforums.org works fine ?
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: works here http://pastebin.com/zHHgJPVT
[15:43] <SIFTU> Galaxor: oracle on ubuntu? is that even  supported?
[15:43] <edbian> Galaxor: Oracle is a company?  How are you trying to start it on your computer?
[15:43] <ryannathans> edbian: this always happens, any time i need to get something done, mysterious errors  and problems noone ever experiences
[15:43] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: thanks
[15:43] <oCean> Galaxor: ubuntu is not in Oracle's support matrix
[15:43] <Galaxor> SIFTU: It's been done.
[15:43] <Galaxor> oCean: Yeah, maybe I should give up and put it in a virtual machine.
[15:44] <Galaxor> edbian: I'm running a simulation of the entire universe.  Trying to get the little virtual people to start the company.
[15:44] <SIFTU> Galaxor: yeah I have done it in the past.. but with the licensing soo expensive whats a few $$ for a supported OS
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> oCean: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Oracle seems to work
[15:44] <edbian> Galaxor: hahahaha :)
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> oCean: http://oss.oracle.com/debian   seems to work..
[15:45] <edbian> Galaxor: Well ubuntu is not support by Oracle (as some have said) so you're going to have issues.  Maybe we can find some how to.
[15:45] <oCean> ActionParsnip: right, I meant as not officially supported (oracle has it's supported platforms detailed at support.oracle.com)
[15:45] <Galaxor> SIFTU: This isn't the production install.  I'm just trying to put it on my workstation for development.  No additional cost for that.
[15:45] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: is that all thats in the thread?
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> oCean: I see, was just going by that doc, that's literally all I know on it
[15:45] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: yes
[15:46] <SIFTU> Galaxor: true, well let me see if I have my old doc.. think it was on 8.04
[15:46] <edbian> Galaxor: This is elaborate: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Oracle
[15:47] <oCean> ActionParsnip, Galaxor even on platforms that oracle does support, it's a challenge to get (and keep) it running :)
[15:47] <brontosaurusrex> is there a way to force specific app to run with some basic skin (faster)?
[15:47] <Math^> guys...
[15:47] <Math^> java -jar -Xms1024M -Xmx2048M
[15:47] <SIFTU> edbian: lol, thats a lot simpler than what I did :)
[15:47] <Math^> this helped :)
[15:48] <ryannathans> I don't haave a fast linux computer sitting around, I want to compile aac into a kernel and try it out for installing ubuntu 11.04
[15:48] <ryannathans> what do I need for this task with windows?
[15:48] <blognewb> hey guys what's a lightweight video editor i can use for ubuntu
[15:48] <xangua> blognewb: pitivi comes as default video editor
[15:48] <SIFTU> blognewb: or openshot, kdenlive
[15:48] <blognewb> xangua i actually have lubuntu sorry i did not know that
[15:49] <ActionParsnip> blognewb: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/top5-linux-video-editing-system-software/
[15:49] <auronandace> blognewb: i don't think video editors are lightweight by definition, i've used openshot (i like it)
[15:49] <Galaxor> edbian: Thanks.  I'll see if that helps.  I had been following their generic instructions and filling in gaps myself.
[15:49] <blognewb> SIFTU do you like openshot best, kdenlive or pitivi
[15:49] <edbian> Galaxor: good luck!
[15:49] <SIFTU> blognewb: personally kdenlive
[15:50] <SIFTU> blognewb: but openshot is coming along nicely and one day I might jump ship
[15:50] <Galaxor> edbian: Hm.  That's not going to work out.  I need to install <IP_ADDRESS>.0, for compatibility with our production database.
[15:50] <blognewb> auronandace i beg to differ, basic editing is all i need, no grandiose effects that some paid softwares do. how irfanview is to photoshop.
[15:51] <brontosaurusrex> +1 for kdenlive
[15:51] <auronandace> blognewb: what i mean to say is that editing videos is not a lightweight task, regardless of what you use
[15:51] <brontosaurusrex> hopefully lightworks will go OS soon ....
[15:52] <ryannathans> how would one compile a linux kernel and shove it into my usb and boot from it?
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> !kernel | ryannathans
[15:52] <genii-around> blognewb: PiTiVi is also not bad.
[15:52] <blognewb> genii-around i guess pitivi is pretty lightweight
[15:53] <genii-around> blognewb: Compared to kdenlive, yes
[15:53] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: i only need assistance with the copying to usb
[15:53] <blognewb> yeah
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: you may be able to copy the data over, then chroot to the usb and run:  sudo update-grub
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: makes sense, not something I've had to ever do
[15:55] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: there's no data on that wiki for 11.04
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: its the same method
[15:56] <melvincv> Hi all
[15:58] <bjhaid> for a cron job which takes precedence, /etc/crontab or crontab -e, because I am suprised the contents differs despite the fact that they both executed by the root user
[15:58] <iridium_> hi, is dmix enabled by default (with alsa) on 11.04?
[15:58] <ryannathans> I'm a tard. I could just sudo modprobe aacraid
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: if you add it in the file /etc/modules   it will load automagically
[15:59] <ryannathans> ActionParsnip: only problem is It wouldn't even load that far without the module
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> ryannathans: there may be a boot option to make modules load
[15:59] <dikidera> Hey, i know this isn't ubuntu related or linux related, but has anyone ever "signed up"/bought something from the Amazon EC2 services?
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> dikidera: I'd ask in #ubuntu-offtopic then ;)
[16:01] <melvincv> I recently changed my computer name and am getting an error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/706195/   Can I avoid this?
[16:01] <SIFTU> melvincv: update your /etc/hosts
[16:02] <ryannathans> oh well, i've only wasted a week on this -.-  i'm going to sleep
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> melvincv: you only changed /etc/hostname   didnt you
[16:02] <usr13> bjhaid: Your question is not clear.
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> melvincv: you now need to boot to root recovery mode and edit /etc/hosts   so that the new hostname resolves to <IP_ADDRESS>  (case VERY sensitive)
[16:02] <rotflcopter> hi
[16:03] <bjhaid> usr13: making it simpler, which takes precedence /etc/crontab or crontab -e
[16:03] <melvincv> ActionParsnip: yes, what do I add to /etc/hosts? It has a syntax, right?
[16:03] <rotflcopter> is there a standard way of mounting 5 encrypted disks with 1 password at system startup (preferrably without luks?)
[16:03] <steph7> can I see uninstalls in /var/log/dpkg.log?
[16:03] <bjhaid> because /etc/crontab doesnt seem to work
[16:03] <SIFTU> melvincv: just uypdate your existing entry, it should have the old hostname in there
[16:03] <BluesKaj> BBL...stuff to do
[16:04] <Ibis> After resetting compiz, I haven't been able to use shortcut keys. Such as ALT+CTRL+T for Terminal -.-
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> melvincv: change the old host name to the new host name in the file
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> melvincv: if you'd opened BOTH before editting, you wouldn't have the issue
[16:04] <melvincv> Thanks, i'll try that.
[16:05] <SIFTU> melvincv: just "sudo nano /etc/hosts" update it and you should be good
[16:05] <melvincv> Btw, is there an easier way to change the computer name???
[16:05] <usr13> bjhaid: If you want to create a cron job for user   "contab -e"  If you want to create a cron job for root "sudo crontab -e"
[16:06] <bjhaid> usr13: what does /etc/crontab now do?
[16:06] <Math^> woops, I was talking in the wrong channel
[16:07] <usr13> bjhaid: nothing
[16:08] <shelly> I've got a kodak easyshare that works in ubuntu, but not lubuntu.  ANyone know why  it would mount up in one and not the other?
[16:08] <melvincv> Thanks guys, fixed that. I'm of an opinion that it has to be simpler, atleast by editing any one file...

[16:16] <Triscar0> hehe invite only
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> Triscar0: identify as your user and you can walk in
[16:17] <Triscar0> ah ok
[16:17] <melvincv> ActionParsnip: That's fine for me, but sounds complex to a person who migrated from Windows. You all need to get rid of bug #1, right?
[16:17] <usr13> Triscar0: Or #iphone

[16:22] <sburwood1> ActionParsnip: What you are telling me to type is that mv jive ... I imagine without the ; in the place of the /
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> sburwood1: no, run it as given
[16:22] <usr13> sevith_: We would have to know more about your LAN equipment and your ISP in order to give you any help.
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> sburwood1: to clean up run: rm ~/lock; rm ~/.parentlock      will clean the files you just moved. Source of the fix: http://email.about.com/od/mozillathunderbirdtips/qt/How_to_Fix_Mozilla_Thunderbird_Not_Starting.htm
[16:22] <Silviu-> auronandace i think this problem is not from 11.10 tho ... could be driver/kvm specific :)
[16:23] <sburwood1> ActionParsnip: You mean with the ; ?
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> sburwood1: ~ is a shortcut for $HOME
[16:23] <sevith_> Whats the off topic channel?
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> sburwood1: yes, copy the command and paste it
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> !ot | sevith_
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> sburwood1: the semicolon means you can run one command after another on the same line
[16:23] <CoolCoder> is there any room for kdesvn?
[16:24] <auronandace> Silviu-: if you are using 11.10 then support is only in #ubuntu+1 untill it is released
[16:24] <Silviu-> Oky doky auronandace thx anyway :)
[16:24] <sevith_> ActionParsnip, ubuntu-ops please?
[16:24] <sevith_> Can somone unban me :(
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> sevith_: you want me to join the channel?
[16:25] <ActionParsnip> sevith_: I'm not an op
[16:26] <ActionParsnip> sburwood1: basically those 2 files are making the app think it is running and locking the email database, so removing it will free it up
[16:26] <sevith_> !op
[16:26] <oCean> sevith_: don't do that
[16:26] <usr13> sevith_: What is your problem?
[16:26] <sevith_> Im banned
[16:26] <sevith_> Thats my deal. Can an op unban me?
[16:27] <usr13> sevith_: If you have a Ubuntu question ask it.  (That is all we do here.)
[16:27]  * ActionParsnip wonders why s/he's banned ;)
[16:27] <sskceg> Hi how to do login in IRC?
[16:27] <rotflcopter> dont worry it happens often
[16:28] <sburwood1> ActionParsnip: I did both commands, but they say that there is no such file or directory
[16:28] <GirlyGirl> sskceg: /msg nickserv identify YOURPASSWORD
[16:28] <sburwood1> ActionParsnip: And I tried each seperately
[16:28] <rotflcopter> GirlyGirl<< :*
[16:28] <sburwood1> ActionParsnip: Be right back
[16:28] <suhel> help needed :D
[16:29] <ActionParsnip> sburwood1: your output shows the 2 files, just don't move the /home/stil/.mozilla/firefox/ujur361t.default/blocklist.xml file. You can use nautilus if you desire
[16:29] <edbian> I have a .Trash-1000 on my usb drive.  How do I empty the trash here?
[16:29] <GirlyGirl> rotflcopter: ???
[16:29] <sskceg> GirlyGirl: very much thanks
[16:29] <anth0ny> anyone know if it's possible to import media to Banshee via the command line?
[16:29] <suhel> Girlygirl hi.. :) need a bit help here
[16:30] <suhel> whrs Joedulin lol
[16:30] <sburwood1> ActionParsnip: I don't know what the output tells you, but the 2 commands come back with the message that there is no such file or directory
[16:30] <suhel> dublin*
[16:30] <GirlyGirl> anth0ny: I don't think it is possible! besides what is the use ... you need the gui to play the files you add anyways
[16:30] <sburwood1> the move commands
[16:30] <sburwood1> ActionParsnip: I'm gonna walk the dog and come back later
[16:31] <edbian> oh :P  You empty the trash in nautilus while that device is mounted!
[16:31] <ActionParsnip> sburwood1: run nautilus and press CTRL+H you can now see the hidden folders, navigate to those folders and delete the 2 lock files but LEAVE the blocklist.xml file
[16:31] <GirlyGirl> suhel: Then just type your question here! anyone can help you
[16:31] <anth0ny> GirlyGirl: the idea is that I want to use Nautilus-actions to be able to right click a folder and click "import to banshee", just need a command to make that happen
[16:31] <suhel> Girlygirl lol, yeah sorry I'd talked with ya few times so just thought it would be nice to talk with someone who knows a bit history of my problem
[16:32] <GirlyGirl> suhel: type the problem then!
[16:32] <CoolCoder> kde-svn is not finding local repository. is there any cmd  to be used?
[16:32] <suhel> Girlygirl I downloaded an old kernel package and installed it, it got installed too however it doesnt showup in boot menu and doesnt show up even in ls /boot/vmlinuz*
[16:33] <GirlyGirl> suhel: try sudo update-grub
[16:33] <suhel> girlygirl did it still no results
[16:34] <GirlyGirl> suhel: It probably did not install ... how did you install it and why do you want an old kernel?
[16:34] <suhel> girlygirl sudo apt-get -i <path>
[16:34] <suhel> oops sorry
[16:34] <suhel> girlygirl dpkg -i <path>
[16:34] <jaffipaffi> Hey guys.. How do I cd to my USB pendrive?
[16:34] <jaffipaffi> Totally novic
[16:34] <jaffipaffi> e
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> jaffipaffi: cd /media/   then a folder in there will be the mount point
[16:35] <usr13> jaffipaffi: cd /media/USB-Deivce-Name
[16:35] <GirlyGirl> suhel: The kernel was a .deb then ... was it for your version of ubuntu
[16:35] <jaffipaffi> How do I list mount points??
[16:35] <usr13> mount
[16:35] <usr13> jaffipaffi: ls /media/
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> jaffipaffi: run: mount    with no options
[16:35] <GirlyGirl> jaffipaffi: cd "/media" ... then type "ls" it will give you the folder name
[16:36] <jaffipaffi> Hmm looks like it's not mounted
[16:36] <jaffipaffi> But it's shown in lsusb
[16:36] <jaffipaffi> How do I mount it then?
[16:36] <jaffipaffi> I'm using ubuntu server
[16:36] <FloodBot1> jaffipaffi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[16:36] <suhel> girlygirl erm let me check it... it was kernel from maverick OS... few hours ago I was adviced here to downgrade my kernel
[16:36] <usr13> jaffipaffi: Use the mount command to mount it.
[16:36] <GirlyGirl> suhel: and you use maverick?
[16:37] <suhel> girlygirl Ocelot beta 2
[16:37] <auronandace> !11.10 | suhel
[16:37] <suhel> auroandance lol I know, I was just answering a general question about downgrading kernels
[16:38] <GirlyGirl> suhel:  as auronandace said can we continue this in #ubuntu+1
[16:38] <suhel> girlgirl ok, I be there
[16:38] <usr13> jaffipaffi: i.e.  sudo mkdir /my-usb-device ; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /my-usb-device ; ls /my-usb-device
[16:38] <GirlyGirl> usr13: how do you know its /dev/sdb1?
[16:39] <usr13> GirlyGirl: sudo fdisk -l
[16:39] <jaffipaffi> It is sdb1, so should I just call it something random?
[16:39] <jaffipaffi> instead of my-usb-device
[16:39] <usr13> jaffipaffi: no
[16:39] <usr13> jaffipaffi: It's up to you
[16:39] <usr13> My instructions was hypothetical
[16:40] <jaffipaffi> Thanks usr13
[16:40] <usr13> jaffipaffi: In other words, you can make your own mount point and you can name it what ever you want.
[16:41] <greg3000> hey guys, got a small challenge.. I just setup dual monitors under KDE and I have to bring each application window to the front in order to see them.  Otherwise they are covered by the desktop, anyone know what this is from?
[16:41] <babilen> (that mount point should be in /mnt or /media though)
[16:41] <usr13> jaffipaffi: Preferably, you name it something that makes sense to you.
[16:42] <jaffipaffi> Yeah
[16:42] <ActionParsnip> greg3000: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[16:44] <greg3000> ActionParsnip: natty  and thanks for the new command :)
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> greg3000: pleaseure :)
[16:44] <Ellipsis753> hey, My computers harddrive still randomly goes read-only and requires a reboot and fsck to go back. However the plot thickens as the computer was on all of today and in use for parts of it without it going read-only. I think it's the running of "transmission" (torrent program) that is breaking my harddrive? (although it may just be the heavy harddrive use). Anyone know what it could me?
[16:44] <ActionParsnip> greg3000: is it the unity session?
[16:44] <greg3000> ActionParsnip: I need to look up more about unity, but I am guessing that it's a possibility
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> greg3000: application bar on the left?
[16:45] <auronandace> Ellipsis753: sounds like your harddrive is dying, back-up what you need
[16:45] <syth> can I prevent pptpd clients from seeing one another?
[16:45] <greg3000> ActionParsnip: Ahh, no it's not, though I have that on my laptop and enjoy it :)
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> greg3000: its kde too, silly me, hmm strange
[16:46] <ActionParsnip> greg3000: does it happen as a new user?
[16:46] <greg3000> ActionParsnip: good question for troubleshooting, I didn't try yet but I can say it started when I began setting up the dual monitors
[16:48] <greg3000> One different question for the channel, I've got a natty minimal install with openbox and I'm trying to setup wireless through the command line client for NetworkManager but I get dbus.exceptions like org.freedesktop.NetworkManager was not provided by any .service files.  Perhaps I've not installed something related to dbus?
[16:50] <leeping> Hi there - I'm having trouble getting my /etc/rc.local script to run at startup.  Can someone help?
[16:52] <dau> asd
[16:52] <edbian> sdf
[16:52] <dau> the installer has this nice option "Scan hard drives for an installer ISO image"
[16:53] <dau> I have multiple disks and apparently it scans only one and only one partition where it doesn't find anything
[16:53] <dau> I'd have an ISO in the root dir on /dev/hde1
[16:53] <ActionParsnip> leeping: it is ran, did you add the commands you want to run ABOVE the exit 0 line?
[16:53] <dau> is there any way I can tell it to search there?
[16:54] <gangz> hi everybody
[16:54] <gangz> Is WUBI reliable ?
[16:54] <gangz> no damage on windows ?
[16:54] <dau> this "scan hard drives" option is pretty ridiculous. If I have an ISO somewhere I know where it is and want to specify it directly
[16:54] <leeping> ActionParsnip, http://paste.ubuntu.com/706223/
[16:54] <edbian> gangz: it doesn't damage windows.  It is annoying to fix problems with wubi.
[16:54] <dau> and I don't want the installer to crawl through 10TB of data
[16:55] <auronandace> gangz: it would be better to use a vm
[16:55] <leeping> I already ran "sudo update-rc.d rc.local enable S"
[16:55] <greg3000> my dbus question is solved, I needed to run as root
[16:55] <ActionParsnip> leeping: are the files marked as executable?
[16:55] <leeping> ActionParsnip, yes
[16:56] <leeping> ActionParsnip, would there be any evidence of them running in the dmesg?  I know there is an /etc/rc.d/rc.local that calls /etc/rc.local, does it print out to anywhere?
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> leeping: all you need to do is add the lines, you don't need any update-rc stuffs ;)
[16:56] <_ramo> hi
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> leeping: are the files readable by all too?
[16:56] <leeping> ActionParsnip, I only ran update-rc because simply adding the lines didn't seem to do anything :/
[16:56] <leeping> ActionParsnip, yes, the permissions are 755
[16:56] <ActionParsnip> leeping: what are the perms on /etc/rc.local
[16:56] <gangz> thanks edbian & auronandace : actually, i'm using VBox VM now
[16:57] <_ramo> i'm tryint to install redmine on a ubuntu 10.04 as described here: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/RedmineInstall
[16:57] <leeping> ActionParsnip, they're the same
[16:57] <gangz> but i've seen WUBI, what are the convenients with WUBI ?
[16:57] <_ramo> i would like to install the c bindings for ruby, with "gem install mysql"
[16:57] <gangz> is it a real LINUX ?
[16:57] <_ramo> but this lead to an error
[16:57] <leeping> If it helps at all, when I run "sudo /etc/init.d/rc.local start", the script starts normally.
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> leeping: you could have the file add numbers to a file. I'll give a pastebin
[16:57] <ActionParsnip> gangz: yes
[16:57] <gangz> i mean what about the file system ? EXT or NTFS ?
[16:58] <auronandace> gangz: linux was never meant to be used within another operating system
[16:59] <auronandace> gangz: so it has some unique problems
[16:59] <g0rs> is anbody using compiz ?
[17:00] <gangz> how works WUBI ? does WUBI modify my partition table ?
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> leeping: http://paste.ubuntu.com/706228/
[17:00] <Monsterwizard> ganz not at all
[17:00] <auronandace> !wubi | gangz
[17:00] <markamber> anyone here able to help with an ssh problem: https://gist.github.com/1278679
[17:00] <ActionParsnip> gangz: it doesn't it install ubuntu to a disk image.
[17:01] <monstaRtruck> hey guys
[17:01] <monstaRtruck> what should the permissions be on the .ssh dir
[17:01] <monstaRtruck> my keys stopped working
[17:01] <monstaRtruck> and i was messing w permisions
[17:01] <leeping> ActionParsnip, restarting, be right back
[17:02] <markamber> monstaRtruck: as long as you can read them, that is usually enough
[17:02] <markamber> monstaRtruck: unluess you are using something other than openssh
[17:02] <gangz> ok so performances are bad
[17:02] <monstaRtruck> i read a while back that it takes specific ones
[17:02] <ActionParsnip> monstaRtruck: drwx------  2 andy andy   4096 2011-10-11 18:02 .ssh
[17:03] <leeping> ActionParsnip, test.txt exists.  So the problem is with my script
[17:03] <ActionParsnip> leeping: all the numbers?
[17:03] <leeping> ActionParsnip, yes, all of them
[17:04] <g00se> Can someone tell me where i can get a working usb installer image?
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> leeping: then its running ;)
[17:04] <leeping> ActionParsnip, then why aren't the ssh processes in "ps aux" ?
[17:04] <sskceg> hi i am a student can v do part time works with open source organisation to earn income?
[17:04] <leeping> Perhaps they ran and then quit?
[17:04] <jcapinc>  hey, just installed ubuntu on this lenovo here I just got, and when I plug headphones in the headphone jack, the internal speakers stay on, and nothing in the sound settings can change it
[17:04] <jcapinc> lenovo 3000 N200
[17:04] <markamber> monstaRtruck: rwx------ is good for the .ssh directory. that way nobody else can see it
[17:04] <markamber> except root or sudorers
[17:04] <ActionParsnip> leeping: not sure, you could add the same number stuff to each script, remove the numbers in /etc/rc.local
[17:05] <monstaRtruck> wats the number
[17:05] <jcapinc> any suggestions?
[17:05] <leeping> if [[ $HOSTNAME == "leeping" ]] ; then ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=180 -N -R24889:leeping.stanford.edu:22<EMAIL_ADDRESS>fi
[17:05] <leeping> Hmm, potentially the hostname environment variable was not set
[17:05] <auronandace> gangz: the point of wubi is so that windows users can TRY linux, if you already know how to install it in a vm or on its own partition then wubi is very likely not for you
[17:05] <leeping> I will try a few more things :) At least the scripts are running, thanks a lot for your help.
[17:06] <gangz> yes , i've just heard about wubi, that's why i asked this question, but as u told, it's just for TRY
[17:06] <sskceg> hi i am a student can v do part time works with open source organisation to earn income?
[17:06] <gangz> it isn't what i want
[17:07] <gangz> thanks everybody
[17:07] <Ellipsis753> auronandace, You don't think my harddrive could be going read-only for any other reason than it dying?
[17:07] <auronandace> Ellipsis753: if it happens randomly it makes it sound as if it is hitting bad sectors
[17:08] <auronandace> Ellipsis753: but i'm guessing, somebody might know better, but it would be a good idea to check your harddrive (especially if you've had it for several years)
[17:09] <leeping> ActionParsnip, I found out the problem.  The hostname was not known at the time rc.local is run, because the DNS service hadn't started yet...
[17:09] <gangz> somebody use ubuntu in VM ?
[17:09] <silvery> sup, guys. can you tell me one thing: how can I revert ubuntu 11.04 machine to default state ("clean") without re-installing it using Live/Alternate CDs or ISOs, mean is there any way not to use CD-ROM drive to do this?
[17:09] <silvery> gangz : me
[17:10] <leeping> However, /etc/rc.local seems to be a good place for these scripts.  Is there any way I can get the DNS service to run sooner?
[17:10] <gangz> silvery : Vbox or Player ?
[17:10] <leeping> Of course I could just use the IP addresses of the servers but I would prefer not to.
[17:10] <silvery> gangz : Workstation 8
[17:11] <leeping> (As an aside, when I run the scripts using the 'startup applications' window in my desktop manager, it runs an instance of the script each time I log in, so I end up with many instances, which is not the intended behavior)
[17:11] <gangz> do you know difference between Workstation et player ?
[17:11] <silvery> gangz : player is free, I guess.
[17:12] <gangz> silvery : i mean, it's really better on Workstation rather player ?
[17:12] <gangz> silvery : about performance
[17:12] <silvery> gangz : unfortunately, I can't see the difference((
[17:12] <auronandace> gangz: stick with virtualbox if you value open-source
[17:13] <ActionParsnip> leeping: add the IP to name resolutions in /etc/hosts
[17:13] <gangz> silvery : i don't know which is better , i tested both Vbox & Player, and with player i have some problem with NAT
[17:14] <wad> Hi folks. I'm needing to connect to a printer on the network at work. It doesn't show up in the list of available drivers, so I guess I need a PPD file. Where do I find one? I've googled around, no joy. The printer is a Xerox ColorQube 9201. I'm running 64-bit Ubuntu 11.04.
[17:15] <leeping> ActionParsnip, I'd rather the domain names are recognized when /etc/rc.local is executed, is that not possible?  (In my ssh_config, I already configured some hostnames to point to other hosts)
[17:16] <wangerin5> wad: Is it found on openprinting.org ?
[17:16] <padhu> wad: try on CUPS website. They provide PPD file creation for famous printers
[17:16] <wad> Okay, thanks guys! I'll try those places.
[17:16] <padhu> also try on openprinter
[17:16] <monstaRtruck> if i did 777 on /
[17:16] <wad> Guh. Site is "down for maintence"
[17:16] <padhu> openprinting*
[17:16] <monstaRtruck> is there anyway to recover that
[17:16] <silvery> gangz : you can find the benchmarks on the internet, which shows that if you need more performance - use Vbox and if you need special features (like automount USBs and stuff) - use VMWare
[17:17] <Silentmyst> I know there is a way, but not quite sure how: how do you mount an ntfs disk in terminal to allow for executable permissions to run programs from ntfs into wine
[17:17] <markamber> why is xinitd listening on port 22 on my ubuntu server (version 8.04)
[17:17] <monstaRtruck> anyway to recover from chmod 777 on /
[17:17] <monstaRtruck> ?
[17:18] <markamber> monstaRtruck: nope, I tried, not worth it
[17:18] <markamber> monstaRtruck: I have been there, dont feel too stupid
[17:18] <monstaRtruck> what can i do?
[17:18] <monstaRtruck> lol
[17:19] <monstaRtruck> as every1 rushed to hack my comp lol
[17:19] <markamber> monstaRtruck: wait a week and install the new version of ubuntu, for your files I suggest you copy them to an NTFS or something that has no permissions formated drive
[17:19] <leeping> I don't want to sound whiny, but my workplace has a bunch of complicated firewalls / VPNs and I already have a nontrivial configuration
[17:19] <Silentmyst> anyone?
[17:20] <markamber> Silentmyst: you should put it in /etc/fstab
[17:20] <wangerin5> markamber: Port 22 is for ssh.  xinitd receives the connect, and passes it on to sshd
[17:21] <gangz> silvery : use VMWare for what ? are you finish your sentence ?
[17:21] <markamber> wangerin5: why is that, why not like the newer ones, what if I really dont want it
[17:22] <shelest> Hi there!
[17:22] <wangerin5> what ssh-server have you installed?
[17:22] <wangerin5> markamber: what ssh-server have you installed?
[17:22] <silvery> gangz : er? read "stuff" (better support for USB and other externals)
[17:22] <shelest> I am reading a new about true german software called Bundestrojan. Does this software work under linux or not?
[17:22] <ActionParsnip> leeping: you COULD make a script with a long sleep in and add THAT to /etc/rc.local but background the process so boot doesn't hang. When the sleep finishes, the commands will run (as root) but later, should help. Its a bit dirty but should fly
[17:23] <markamber> wangerin5: openssh-server, but I used to have dropbear and it was somehow configured to start at every connection
[17:23] <markamber> wangerin5: that seems to be the reason why openssh-server is not working
[17:23] <Silentmyst> mark: typical mounts go to /media/(media name) - im looking for the command(s) in terminal that allow permissions to be set for executables - i was looking and found some shotty commands for vista that didn't work
[17:23] <gangz> silvery : ok thank you
[17:23] <z00mer> Hi, does anyone know what this guy is using for the Sticky Notes in this video...
[17:23] <z00mer> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0W6AjUGm6Nk
[17:23] <silvery> gangz : rwlcm
[17:24] <leeping> ActionParsnip, I'm going to try manually configuring my network in /etc/network/interfaces instead of relying on the NetworkManager, that might start up the network sooner.  I'll let you know what happens
[17:24] <z00mer> they look really cool
[17:24] <markamber> !ntfs | Silentmyst
[17:25] <markamber> Silentmyst: you will need to add an entry to the fstab with the things called FMASK and DMASK
[17:25] <Silentmyst> i know how to mount the partition... but standard mounting doesn't allow for permissions
[17:25] <wangerin5> markamber: most likely. properly remains from dropbear.
[17:25] <markamber> Silentmyst: exactly
[17:25] <gangz> silvery : Can i ask you a question ? which irc client do you use ? on windows or on your VM ?
[17:25] <cielak> the #ubuntu-release-party is starting long time before the release!
[17:25] <george_> Hello everyone. I want to convert several .HTM files to pdf.  What command should I run for that? (I have imagemagick installed).
[17:26] <markamber> Silentmyst: are you fermiliar with what chmod 644 would do
[17:26] <markamber> Silentmyst: or chmod 777
[17:26] <wangerin5> markamber: openssh-server listens directly on the port, and if it's already open, it can bind to the port.
[17:26] <bhush> hello....!!
[17:26] <Silentmyst> not particularly - still learning linux - i can typically figure out what I'm trying to do but... eh... im here lol
[17:27] <Silentmyst> i've been running it for a few months now i got the basic concept of how things work but still more to learn
[17:27] <silvery> gangz : miranda for windows (on host) and built-in empathy in 11.04 (when running guest)
[17:27] <markamber> Silentmyst: FMASK will TURN OFF bits, so 000 would make all Files (F for files as in FMASK) be 777
[17:27] <bhush> How to solve blank screen error of ubuntu...!??
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> bhush: what video chip do you use?
[17:27] <markamber> Silentmyst: and DMASK 000 would make all directorys 777, and remember that directorys need to be executable
[17:28] <Silentmyst> ok then how to do edit those
[17:28] <markamber> wangerin5: how do I make the xinitd stop listening, I think it is messing up the openssh-server
[17:28] <bhush> ATI
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset | bhush
[17:29] <bhush> Is not working...!!
[17:29] <markamber> Silentmyst: did you see that link earlier, it most likely has everything you need, now that you know you are looking to create an fstab entry for an NTFS drive using FMASK and DMASK, see if you can find the documentation on how to do that, otherwise come back here, I will be here for a while
[17:29] <bhush> nomodeset is not working...! :(
[17:29] <wangerin5> markamber: if xinitd is listening i definitly is blocking for openssh-server to start.
[17:30] <kthakore> hello
[17:30] <markamber> wangerin5: do you know how to make it stop
[17:30] <markamber> wangerin5: I am pretty sure I cant just stop xinitd
[17:30] <kthakore> why can I not do Systerm -> Administration -> Printing
[17:30] <bhush> :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
[17:30] <kthakore> there is now Add -> Network Printer
[17:30] <Silentmyst> alright then thx
[17:31] <kthakore> no*
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> bhush: is it a dual gpu thing (Intel AND an ATi)?
[17:31] <kthakore> How do I add a network printer?
[17:31] <wangerin5> markamber: you need to remove a conf for xinitd, and the restart it.
[17:31] <bhush> No
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> kthakore: its part of the printer app
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> bhush: good, those things are hellish
[17:31] <markamber> wangerin5: what conf? where is it?
[17:31] <kthakore> ActionParsnip: I see the dialog box
[17:31] <kthakore> ActionParsnip: there is no Add - Network Printer
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> kthakore: cool, tell the app its a network printer and type it's IP
[17:32] <wangerin5> markamber: try to look in /etc/xinitd.d
[17:32] <kthakore> ActionParsnip: huh? How? There is Server, Printer, Group, View, Help
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> kthakore: http://techotopia.com/images/b/bf/Ubuntu_11_unity_add_windows_printer.jpg
[17:33] <kthakore> Where is this?
[17:33] <markamber> wangerin5: thanks
[17:33] <wangerin5> markamber: there you'll properly se a *ssh* or *dropbear* file
[17:33] <markamber> wangerin5: I think I see the problem
[17:33] <markamber> wangerin5: yes
[17:33] <kthakore> ActionParsnip: how do I get to this?
[17:33] <markamber> wangerin5: I do not want to use xinitd for openssh, correct
[17:33] <ActionParsnip> kthakore:  system-config-printer
[17:34] <markamber> wangerin5: YES! thanks, that worked
[17:34] <kthakore> Server -> New -> Printer is blacked out
[17:34] <kthakore> err greyed out
[17:34] <wangerin5> markamber: delete the ssh-conf, and restart xinitd that should solve that part. Check that 22 is not used any more, and start openssh.server
[17:35] <markamber> wangerin5: yep, did that, it works, thanks again
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> kthakore: http://screenshots.debian.net/screenshots/s/system-config-printer/1835_large.png   should look like that
[17:36] <wangerin5> markamber: your welcome

[17:41] <leeping> ActionParsnip, thanks for all of your help - I got it to work. :)
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> kthakore: wow, that's cluttered.
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> leeping: sweet
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> kthakore: is cups installed and running?
[17:41] <kthakore> ActionParsnip: what is cluttered? The dialog?
[17:41] <kthakore> I dunno
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> kthakore: the desktop
[17:41] <kthakore> hwo do I check?
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> kthakore: search in software centre to check
[17:42] <kthakore> ActionParsnip: I don't have the new Ubuntu I am on the LTS
[17:43] <ActionParsnip> kthakore: will still be installable
[17:43] <agentgasmask> Hi. In ubuntu 10.04, I have ATI built-in Radeon X1200 with two monitor ports. The System -> Preferences -> Monitors has the "mirror Screens" radio button greyed out and set to On. How can I get a spaned desktop across these two monitors?
[17:45] <Ellipsis753> auronandace, Thanks, but I'm not so sure it happends randomly (as far as I can tell it's when I runn transmission(?)) and the harddrive isn't old. Also the full self-test didn't show anything up. My harddrive is really annoying when it's readonly though.
[17:46] <kthakore> ActionParsnip: yeah it seems to be running
[17:47] <greg3000> :) Ok here's a question, I've got natty on 2 machines.  One is minimal install, the other is full install.  The full install connects great to the wireless network.  How can I copy the wireless network settings over to the minimal install system?  I checked /etc/network/interfaces but it made no references to eth0 or wlan0, etc..
[17:48] <martian> How does one customize the 'move to' menu in Nautilus?
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> martian: nautilus scripts
[17:48] <sh4rm4> i need to make a touchscreen work on ubuntu
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> kthakore: could use http://localhost:631   and add it there
[17:48] <martian> ActionParsnip: gotcha. Thanks!
[17:49] <sh4rm4> all tutorials refer to xorg.conf or /etc/hal
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> martian: ubuntu-tweak can add a few handy ones
[17:49] <sh4rm4> which both do not exist
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> sh4rm4: xorg.conf goes in /etc/X11
[17:49] <sh4rm4> ActionParsnip, it is not existing
[17:49] <sh4rm4> i definitely won't create a xorg.conf from scratch
[17:50] <greg3000> on the full install natty box, the working wireless connection is using the Auto feature
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> sh4rm4: it doesn't by default but if one exists, it will be use
[17:50] <sh4rm4> so, which mechanism is currently "in" ? hal, xorg.conf, ... what's current ?
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> *used
[17:50] <greg3000> which GUI app should I install to give me the wireless GUI?
[17:50] <sh4rm4> ActionParsnip, so how do i generate a full config ?
[17:50] <greg3000> wireless networking GUI
[17:50] <ActionParsnip> greg3000: network-manager or wicd are great
[17:51] <sh4rm4> ActionParsnip, isnt the stuff controlled by HAL ?
[17:51] <White--> hi, I'm currently trying to setup a ubuntu11.04 domu on my centos host. I linked the iso in the cfg file and it also boots properly from it. however after asking me about all the locale things, I says it cannot find the cdrom anymore to proceed with the installation
[17:53] <greg3000> ActionParsnip: thanks for the tip :)
[17:55] <Ibis> White--: How are you installing this exactly?
[17:56] <Krenair> How do I find out what graphics card drivers I'm using?
[17:57] <Ibis> Krenair: Type this command in terminal: lspci | grep VGA
[17:57] <nbest>  Hello.  Is there a way to get a confirm file delete in lucid to avoid accidentally sending files to trash bin?  I have searched google but can't find any.
[17:57] <White--> Ibis: oh completely missed it, its going to be a xen guest. i dd'ed an image file which i use via xvda, than downloaded the latest ubuntu iso and linked this as a disk into the xen config via file:iso,hdc:cdrom
[17:57] <Krenair> Ibis: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce GTS 250] (rev a2)
[17:57] <Ibis> Krenair: Okies.
[17:58] <qirk> I have a problem with intel/nvidia switching as stated here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Asus_EEE_PC_1015pn the problem is that I don't want to turn off the nvidia card, I want it running so I can play 1080p movies with vlc. I can't "startx" with simply nvidia running, I do have to activate the intel part via the command stated, can VLC then choose which to be used?
[17:58] <Krenair> Ibis, i think that's what I needed. thanks
[17:58] <Ibis> You're welcome.
[17:58] <Krenair> oh... and how do I work out the version?
[17:58] <HackeMate> hello
[17:59] <Ibis> Krenair: Is there something you want to do when you find out the version of the card?
[17:59] <Ibis> Hi there HackeMate.
[17:59] <HackeMate> i use rsync to synchronize a directory but it contains strange characters in file names
[17:59] <HackeMate> then return an error and stop
[17:59] <HackeMate> how can i configure my own charset?
[17:59] <Polah> HackeMate: Do you need those characters in the file names?
[17:59] <Krenair> Ibis, I'm trying to get help with getting FL MP working in wine. Someone in #winehq is asking about my graphics card drivers version
[17:59] <HackeMate> yes, its my language
[17:59] <HackeMate> anyway it is 400Gb of file names, i cant rename all of them
[18:00] <Socky_DX> Hey guys, Im new to doing backups on linux with tape adapters.  I have created /home/socky/test and put 140 megs of files in there, than I did mt -f /dev/st0 /home/socky/test After it complete i issued the command mt -f /dev/st0 rewind and it instantly returned me to the prompt. When I atempted to do a restore it failed because I didnt rewind.  Am I doing the right syntax for rewind?
[18:01] <Polah> HackeMate: Simple for loop using tr or rename or something like that to run over everything
[18:01] <Ibis> Krenair: I believe you have all the info you need.       [GeForce GTS 250]       is the exact card name.
[18:01] <HackeMate> cant do nothing with rsync? :(
[18:01] <greg3000> What tool is being used when we setup our network from the taskbar in Unity?
[18:01] <Ibis> (rev a2) is pretty much the verion number.
[18:02] <Krenair> Ibis: <kevlarman> Krenair: that's not a graphics driver version
[18:02] <Krenair> :/
[18:02] <iceroot> greg3000: nm-applet
[18:02] <greg3000> iceroot: thanks :)
[18:02] <Polah> HackeMate: Encapsulating filenames in "" or suchlike as strings might work if rsync doesn't work that way already, but I don't know if that would be possible.
[18:03] <troyounces> hi everyone - first time here
[18:03] <troyounces> i'm looking at switching over my fileserver from Solaris 10 to Ubuntu
[18:03] <troyounces> I wanted to know if anyone is using BTRFS and how stable it is
[18:03] <troyounces> and also how it compares on a feature basis to ZFS
[18:03] <iceroot> troyounces: its not a stable-release
[18:03] <iridium_> has issues
[18:04] <GirlyGirl> !away | ewproctor
[18:05] <salobaro> n ------------3funchal
[18:05] <Ibis> nbest: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6407007&postcount=2          I hope this helps.
[18:05] <troyounces> if I wanted to run a fileserver and wanted efficient snapshots, backup deltas, deduplication - what are your recommendations?
[18:06] <iceroot> troyounces: btrfs if you want it on the filesystem
[18:06] <iceroot> troyounces: but its not stable yet
[18:06] <Ibis> White--: So you're basically not using a CD to install ubuntu?
[18:06] <iceroot> troyounces: maybe kvm with its snapshots
[18:07] <iceroot> troyounces: then you can use ext3/4 with copy-on-write from kvm
[18:07] <troyounces> iceroot: what do you mean if I want it on the filesystem?  as opposed to where?
[18:07] <qirk> anyone with a eee pc 1015pn here?
[18:07] <iceroot> troyounces: btrfs can do snapshots on the filesystem itself
[18:08] <Ibis> !ask | qirk
[18:08] <qirk> I have a problem with intel/nvidia switching as stated here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Asus_EEE_PC_1015pn the problem is that I don't want to turn off the nvidia card, I want it running so I can play 1080p movies with vlc. I can't "startx" with simply nvidia running, I do have to activate the intel part via the command stated, can VLC then choose which to be used?
[18:08] <qirk> Ibis: ^
[18:08] <troyounces> iceroot: when is a stable version of BTRFS going to be released?
[18:09] <g0rs> This is offtopic : anybody knows how to connect to an irc server using a secure connection?
[18:09] <zaapiel> im on btrfs
[18:09] <iceroot> qirk: there is a tool called "vga selector" there you can switch between intel and ion but you need to restart the system
[18:09] <iceroot> qirk: there is a bug in the current kernel so a live-switching is not possible
[18:09] <Ibis> g0rs: irc.freenode.org on port 6697 Be sure it says SSL or just try it.  (In the furture, ask in #freenode please)
[18:09] <iceroot> qirk: let me correct, there was a bug in 2.6.38 dont know what 3.0 is doing
[18:09] <troyounces> zaapiel: what do you think so far?  any issues with btrfs?
[18:10] <zaapiel> none
[18:10] <qirk> iceroot: running 3.0
[18:10] <zaapiel> but i cant really tell a difference between it and ext4 in performance or anything
[18:10] <zaapiel> im just a desktop casual user
[18:10] <troyounces> zaapiel: i see -- i'm not that worried about performance.  I'm sure ext4 is fine for me - I just want some of the other features
[18:11] <zaapiel> well from what i understand they havent released the tools to defrag or anything yet
[18:11] <iceroot> troyounces: if i am correct zfs has also this features but imo there is only a fuse-driver for zfs which is stable
[18:11] <qirk> iceroot: but shouldn't the nvidia card already be activated since if I go to suspend mode the site states that it will be reactivated, does this still require a vga switch?
[18:12] <g0rs> Ibis: thanks it worked
[18:12] <Polah> zaapiel: btrfs allocates files to attempt to avoid fragmentation
[18:12] <iceroot> qirk: i had the same netbook, i was only able to say which card is used at the next boot, the other card is disabled
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> Polah: tried btrfs in natty and it was a lot slower
[18:12] <iceroot> qirk: but i was using it some month ago and sold the netbook again
[18:12] <HackeMate> I think I found my problem with rsync, my console doesn't have my language correctly configured. How to configure the console's locale?
[18:13] <iridium_> troyounces, last month I played a bit with btrfs and it in the end corrupted the files of the partition, luckily for me there was nothing important in that partition... so I wouldn't say that btrfs is ready for everyday use
[18:13] <greg3000> might anyone be willing or able to walk me through connecting to a wireless network having openbox installed?  I know my way around, but seem to be missing a few details.  So far I got the furthest using cnetworkmanager, but I have wicd and netapplet installed also
[18:13] <Polah> ActionParsnip, never used it myself actually, just mentioning that it tries to avoid fragmentation as zaapiel mentioned it
[18:13] <rotflcopter> is there a standard way of mounting 5 encrypted disks with 1 password at system startup (preferrably without luks?)
[18:13] <qirk> iceroot: ok, perhaps I should try ubuntu, currently running arch.. But could you connect it with a HDMI cable?
[18:13] <iridium_> there's a risk
[18:13] <iceroot> qirk: yes that was working without problems, also audio was working fine
[18:14] <damianfrancis> can anyone point me in the right direction for figuring out why I do not see the the gdm login when I connect to a server that is running all the gdm processes with #ssh -X <ipaddy>
[18:14] <iceroot> qirk: but for 1080p i needed the nvidia-card
[18:15] <qirk> iceroot: nice, because this thread scared me https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=125970 about the hdmi :D
[18:15] <iceroot> qirk: on 10.10 is was running fine
[18:16] <iceroot> qirk: with the non-free-nvidia driver which is automaticly suggested by ubuntu
[18:16] <qirk> iceroot: hmm seemingly I only have to switch card then somehow, dunno if the vga switcher is available in arch though, but as I mentioned when I simply have nvidia loaded I can't start X
[18:16] <qirk> non-free? :P
[18:16] <greg3000> so I've got openbox installed and trying to run nm-applet.  Do I need some type of docker in order to see nm-applet?
[18:17] <iceroot> greg3000: yes
[18:17] <iceroot> greg3000: a systray like on gnome, xfce4, lxde
[18:17] <greg3000> iceroot: thanks again
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> greg3000: if you install lxde, you will get a handy panel :)

[18:19] <qirk> iceroot: did you follow the guide with acpi_call too?
[18:19] <Ibis> qirk: The issue is something to do with "acpi_call" ???
[18:20] <Guest31077> I have a lenovo ideapad k1, and I want to install plasma-active on it, but it doesn't have a usb port to use the live usb method, but it does have a cord that allows it to connect to a pc. Could it be installed that way?

[18:21] <Ibis> Guest31077: Careful how you type in your Nickserv command. Lol.
[18:22] <qirk> Ibis: yes, for switching https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Asus_EEE_PC_1015pn
[18:22] <Ibis> Guest31077: A cord, what do you mean? What kind of cord, connected from wha, to.
[18:22] <Ibis> qirk: The two links I gave you discusses that.
[18:22] <MrElendig> TuxBlackEdo: what type of cord? A piece of yarn? cat6? mettal strand?
[18:22] <Guest31077> It's a usb cord, but the port it plugs into on the tablet isn't a usb port. It's an ipod-like charging port.
[18:23] <qirk> Ibis: yep, I remember google gave me the first one, will check them out again :)
[18:23] <|ntegra|> heya nedkelly
[18:23] <TuxBlackEdo> MrElendig, wat
[18:24] <MrElendig> TuxBlackEdo: "a cord" tells us nothing
[18:24] <TuxBlackEdo> MrElendig, what are you talking about "cord"?
[18:24] <MrElendig> TuxBlackEdo: err. sorry was for Guest31077
[18:24] <jason___> if I want to retain the entire structure of a directory and copy it to my external, meaning I want to retain ownership, group, permissions, EVERYTHING, would cp -R do what I need?
[18:25] <Guest31077> It's a usb cord that plugs into the charging port of the tablet. For moving files and things.
[18:26] <Ibis> jason___: Use the -p option in that copy command. Or --preserve
[18:27] <basw> has the ls command also a show only date of modified function?
[18:27] <jason___> Ibis: but I would still use R as well, right? sudo cp -p -R /my/folder /external/drive ???
[18:28] <greg3000> does anyone else's screen sometimes only fade to gray after upgrading to unity?

[18:30] <alazare619> betty white for president!
[18:31] <Jeluco> Salut tout le monde :)
[18:32] <Ibis> aboudreault: I believe Ubuntu would detect your home directory on it's own. I'm not sure how exactly. (It must tell you, otherwise, abandon plans and wait for a better answer in this channel)
[18:33] <aboudreault> Ibis, last time, it didn't ask me IIRC :(
[18:34] <Ibis> aboudreault: Then abandon all plans. Make back up, and reinstall ubuntu. (you might have to decrypt /home/ first.
[18:35] <Polah> alazre619: See this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Setup_Your_Encrypted_Private_Directory I don't know about transferring, but you could decrypt, reinstall then encrypt again

[18:36] <_ramo> mysql --version gives me a version number, but if i look at /etc/init.d/ i can't found a mysqld
[18:37] <Ibis> If that home directory is another partition, whatever you do, do NOT reformat/touch it.
[18:37] <_ramo> so, i thought that there must be a service running. i can log in with mysql -u username -p
[18:38] <Ibis> _ramo: Check out #mysql
[18:38] <_ramo> Ibis: okay
[18:38] <Ibis> aboudreault: That home directory, that is a partition, right?
[18:40] <qirk> Ibis: since X works with the intel chip loaded and not with the nvidia ion card, starting X results in (EE) Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0), also modules "nv", "vesa" and "fbdev".. any ideas on this one?

[18:42] <btdrucke__> ak!
 Krenair: you have to lock your cores to maximum performance and try again
[18:43] <tacomaster> can someone lead me in the right direction im not asking for you to code for me or fix my problems im just stuck at where i need to start looking i have a alfa wifi card and works wonders under ubuntu after i type in the command "sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 5.5M fixed" but i want to automate this process i want when my laptop sees the device plugged in to the usb port i want it to execute that command any ideas?
[18:43] <Krenair> How do I lock my CPU's cores to maximum performance?
[18:44] <MrElendig> Krenair: set the cpufreq governor to performance
[18:44] <Randumb> so, if all of my disks in a system are set up with GPT partitions, and grub wont install to "mbr" i assume that grub can't handle gpt?
[18:45] <MrElendig> Randumb: it can
[18:45] <MrElendig> grub2 can anyway
[18:45] <Randumb> hrm, can you think of any reason it wont install ?
[18:45] <Randumb> using the 11.04 server install disc
[18:45] <Randumb> i have 8x2tb drives
[18:45] <monstaRtruck> hey where is my grub file
[18:45] <monstaRtruck> to edit it
[18:46] <dr_willis> !grub2 | monstaRtruck
[18:46] <Randumb> each 2tb drive has 3 partitions, 1gb, 50gb, and 1.9tb
[18:46] <aboudreault> sorry, I'm back. If anyone has an answer about reinstalling ubuntu and my encrypted home
[18:46] <Randumb> and i created a software raid amongst all 8 drives for each partition
[18:46] <monstaRtruck> i just want to change the boot order
[18:47] <Randumb> so, 3 raid arrays, one for swap, one for / and one for /home
[18:47] <dr_willis> monstaRtruck:  edit the grub2 configs as needed.. see the grub2 docs.. and the forums have a guide on it.
[18:47] <Randumb> any reason that grub will freak out?
[18:47] <Randumb> just says it can't install to /dev/sda
[18:47] <Randumb> is grub software-raid aware?
[18:48] <dr_willis> i thought you raided the disks together.. then partioned the raid.. not each disk.. but i dont even try to use raids any more. :)
[18:49] <Randumb> nope, i did 3 different partitions per disk, then raided those partitions
[18:49] <x40> Hi
[18:49] <Randumb> was thinking about doing LVM for the 1.9 tb partitions in the 13.6tb array
[18:49] <Randumb> so i can slice chunks off as iscsi targets
[18:50] <Randumb> anyone got any clues as to why my grub wont install tho?
[18:50] <Randumb> and am i being stupid to do gpt partitions on 2tb drives?
[18:50] <x40> Is there a way to tell in a bash script if there is sound coming out of the computer?
[18:50] <dr_willis> Randumb:  i dont see the point in using gpt on them. :)
[18:50] <tacomaster> no ideas?
[18:51] <Randumb> dr_willis, that's the default for the partitioner included w/ 11.04
[18:51] <dr_willis> x40:  perhaps some obscure pulse audio commands.
[18:51] <ubuntu_> cc
[18:51] <Randumb> 11.04 server mind you
[18:51] <ubuntu_> sa va tt le monde
[18:51] <dr_willis> Randumb:  cant say ive noticed that being the default. would seem weird for it to use gpt on  everything.
[18:51] <Randumb> shrug
[18:52] <ubuntu_> sa va
[18:52] <Randumb> can i use fdisk to erase the GPT and revert back to mbr?
[18:52] <dr_willis> Randumb:  most likely yes id say..
[18:52] <dr_willis> but fdisk is getting a bit outdated.
[18:52] <ubuntu_> aaaaa
[18:52] <Randumb> parted isnt on the ramdisk during 11.04 install ><
[18:52] <ubuntu_> sav va*
[18:52] <dr_willis> you could use dd to zero the drive then fdisk /parted it  i guess.
[18:52] <x40> Thanks Dr.
[18:53] <mosiman> Hello, I have a question about the ps command if anyone can help me out. If you run something like "ps -alx" you will see kernel processes in brackets, like [migration/0] and [migration/1]. Using the man page I found that the brackets indicate process args weren't available, but does anyone know what the "/0" and "/1" suffixes mean?
[18:53] <__Carlos__> alguien controla de id3v2??
[18:54] <dr_willis> !es | __Carlos__
[18:54] <__Carlos__> thanks
[18:55] <aboudreault> looks like it's not possible to reinstall ubuntu with an existing encrypted home which is on a LVM partition
[18:55] <dr_willis> Muy Bien. :) (i think) :)
[19:00] <MrBoss> hello someone use SAP?
[19:01] <dontbehero> hei
[19:01] <iceroot> MrBoss: luckily this is not the sap channel
[19:01] <oCean> MrBoss: SAP as in the ERP system?
[19:01] <MrBoss> oCean, yes
[19:02] <dontbehero> how to block m$$ mono shit apps from repos?? there should a checkbox to block mono apps.
[19:02] <dontbehero> I don't want m$$$ to infect my open source system.
[19:02] <oCean> MrBoss: I don't think you'll find many SAP users in this channel, this is ubuntu (mostly desktop) support
[19:02] <dontbehero> or else I want use ubnutu.
[19:02] <joshthetechie> does anyone know how to enable sound for the Dell Zino HD computer?
[19:02] <joshthetechie> The back audio out port does not function, but the headphone jack works
[19:02] <iceroot> dontbehero: remove mono from your system
[19:03] <MrBoss> oCean, i try in this channel in the morning but no success
[19:03] <dontbehero> well that'd be effective to brake apps.
[19:03] <LjL> !language | dontbehero
[19:03] <azertuie> hi
[19:04] <oCean> MrBoss: your question, is it ubuntu related?
[19:04] <MrBoss> oCean, i want to know if someone use SAP in ubuntu
[19:05] <iceroot> MrBoss: ubuntu is not a supported sap plattform
[19:05] <qirk> iceroot: did HD playback with vlc work without any particular settings?
[19:05] <iceroot> MrBoss: see #redhat #sles #oracle #aix and so on
[19:05] <deebee_> dontbehero: mono isn't Microsoft. It's an open source implementation of a standardised subset of .NET
[19:06] <x40> Looked into pacmd, no way to see if sound is heard or not.
[19:06] <qirk> I managed to start X now with the nvidia card as the only one set, installed some video drivers: vesa, nv, nouveau etc
[19:07] <oscar> !bar is  <reply> baz
[19:07] <dontbehero> deebee_: that's the most weak and m$$ apologist answer about mono. Don't be naive.
[19:07] <deebee_> dontbehero: it's also a fact
[19:08] <mang0> how do I allocate a program more ram? In windows it's task manager > right click process > priority = high but I'm not sure how to do that on linux?
[19:08] <dr_willis> mang0:  why do you even think you need to?
[19:08] <azertuie> hello there
[19:08] <deebee_> dontbehero: if you believe open source is about Microsoft hating for MS hating's sake, then you've got the wrong idea
[19:08] <mang0> dr_willis: Becuase I'm trying to play minecraft and it's lagging
[19:08] <azertuie> what are the basics things to learn to build a firmware ?
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> qirk: if you run: sudo lshw -C display    you can see which driver is in use.
[19:09] <phibxr> azertuie, patience.
[19:09] <azertuie> is there any firmware builder here ?
[19:09] <dr_willis> mang0:  java has some options to give the  binary some bigger ram area i belive...
[19:09] <ActionParsnip> mang0: that is more CPU, not RAM
[19:09] <dr_willis> I think the minecraft faq mentions options to use when starting it.
[19:09] <mang0> ActionParsnip: Oh, my bad. How do I allocate more cpu then?
[19:09] <BluesKaj> qirk, which nvidia card? nouveau is the default , but the recommended driver should be installed , use jockey in  /admin/additional drivers
[19:09] <mcveat> mang0: minecraft is a java application, run it with -Xmx=512m
[19:09] <mang0> dr_willis: OIC
[19:10] <mang0> mcveat: Thanks :)
[19:11] <dontbehero> deebee_: is about principles, open source wouldn't had happened wiouth strong principles, stop defending m$$.
[19:11] <mang0> mcveat: Sorry, I'm confused >.>. How do I use that command to open a .jar?
[19:11] <oCean> dontbehero: No denigrate other operating systems. Also please drop that discussion, as it has nothing to do with ubuntu support
[19:11] <mcveat> mang0: java -jar minecraft.jar -Xmx=512m
[19:12] <fhtagn> howdy! any1 care to help me compile ROOT for ubuntu?
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> Mang0: in Linux you can use nice to launch apps to give higher priority. Or renice to change a running apps nice value. 0 is default -15 will make the CPU spend more time on a process and 15 will make it very low. You can use the values in that range
[19:12] <purpleyuan> mcveat: just curious, why would you need to add -Xmx=512m at the end?
[19:13] <ActionParsnip> mang0: nice -15 java -jar file    for example
[19:13] <qirk> BluesKaj: nvidia ion optimus for eee pc 1015pn
[19:13] <mang0> ActionParsnip: OIC, thanks :)
[19:13] <mcveat> purpleyuan: sorry, was writing it from the top of my mind
[19:13] <mcveat> mang0: i have: java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp /opt/minecraft/minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
[19:13] <mang0> ActionParsnip: You're on here so much, do you get paid or something?! Lol :P
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> mang0: no just occupies me on the bus, at work and when I'm bored at home
[19:14] <deebee_> dontbehero: Principles founded on sound logic, unlike yours. Mono is licensed under GPL/MIT. That's open source by anyone's standards. What more do you want? It wasn't even written by Microsoft. If anything, mono promotes freedom by allowing CLI applications to be portable. You have no idea what you're talking about.
[19:14] <dontbehero> well I ax how to block m$$ mono from an ubuntu installation. That's a perfectly legitimate question.
[19:14] <mang0> ActionParsnip: Understood. Well it's very helpful :P
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> mang0: man nice   will tell you lots :-)
[19:14] <joshthetechie> does anyone have problems with sound output on a Dell Zino HD desktop computer? The rear audio-out jack won't work under Ubuntu.
[19:14] <qirk> ActionParsnip & BluesKaj seems like the driver loaded is nvidia according to lshw's output
[19:14] <oCean> dontbehero: You can call it Microsoft, since that is their name
[19:15] <mang0> ActionParsnip: Just done that. Thankyou :)
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> qirk: sweet :-D
[19:15] <dontbehero> I not only  want to remove it but make sure future upgrades won't install anything surreptisiously
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> mang0: you are more than welcome, thanks for the gratitude too
[19:16] <azertuie> do you know on firmware build ? phibxr
[19:16] <qirk> If we assume everything else is correct, the only problem left would be the damn lag with HD playback on VLC
[19:16] <mang0> ActionParsnip: No problemo :(
[19:16] <mang0> Oops *:)
[19:16] <brontosaurusrex> qirk: vdpau not working, or ...?
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> qirk: try settinga different video output method in settings. I suggest trying gnome-mplayer too.
[19:17] <oscar> when i boot my laptop with 11.04 it loads on to grub and i have to select ubuntu then it waits with a bit flashing in the top left corner then it goes to "your disk drives are being checked for errors ....." and if i press c to cancel it just then it just goes black and freezes but if i wait for it to complete it just goes up to 70% and then stops so i cant boot my system any help appreciated.
[19:17] <_ramo> hm, how can i restart the apache webserver if it is installed in /opt/tmpfolder/apache2/bin ?
[19:17] <dontbehero> deebee_: from what you'v written so far sounds like you're in love with m$$. There's no point in replying each other.
[19:17] <joshthetechie> audio problems in Ubuntu 11.04...any help would be appreciated :)
[19:17] <qirk> ActionParsnip: I've tried mplayer, it's laggy
[19:18] <dontbehero> which toolkit is used for Unity?
[19:18] <qirk> brontosaurusrex: well it works to play the movie but it's laggy as hell, and I've set the option GPU acceleration because it made it work in windows when I tried
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> qirk: different output methods dude and different interlacing/antialiasing etc. Tweak the settings
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> Qirk: what version of vlc?
[19:19] <oCean> dontbehero: last warning, stop the silly silly misspellings when mentioning Microsoft
[19:19] <qirk> ActionParsnip: newest
[19:19] <Randumb> question for you all
[19:19] <deebee_> dontbehero: You can call them Microsoft, that's their name. You asked how to avoid m$$ from being installed on your computer. Mono is not MS. There's your answer.
[19:20] <Randumb> i have a 1gb chunk of hard disk on 8 disks
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> Qirk: what version number?
[19:20] <dontbehero> oCean: freedom of expression, or are you trying to censor me??
[19:20] <nixmaniack> !backup
[19:20] <brontosaurusrex> qirk: command line version of mplayer reports that vdpau is on and in use?
[19:20] <joshthetechie> can someone please help me with audio issues?
[19:20] <qirk> ActionParsnip: I've also tried to skip H.264 in-loop deblocking filter as all
[19:20] <Randumb> would it be better to raid10 those 8 chunks for swap, or just format those 8 individual chunks as swap.... and why?
[19:20] <nixmaniack> !cloning
[19:20] <oCean> dontbehero: you can discuss channel rules in #ubuntu-ops if you wish
[19:20] <The_Phoenix> evva is a spam bot. -> (12:50:06 AM) evva:
[19:20] <The_Phoenix> hii sex http://livecam.de.vc
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> !details | joshthetechie
[19:21] <oCean> The_Phoenix: you can report such in #ubuntu-ops channel
[19:21] <brontosaurusrex> qirk: try "mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau file.mp4" and tell me what is says
[19:22] <ActionParsnip> Qirk: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc; dpkg -l | grep vlc | head -n 1
[19:22] <LjL> The_Phoenix: thanks for the report but next time report it in #ubuntu-ops instead of reposting the spam here please
[19:22] <joshthetechie> ubottu: I have a problem with audio output on Ubuntu 11.04. The rear audio-out jack on the computer does not work, but the headphone jack is operational.
[19:22] <dontbehero> prolly a bobby-trapped link
[19:22] <egsome> Using Ubuntu 11.04 on my Dell Laptop, I notice sometimes bad performance. This is my head of `top` http://pastebin.com/1e5uxmHa     any ideas ?
[19:22] <nphase> anyway to get ubuntu php to use mysqlnd?
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> !sound | joshthetechie
[19:23] <qirk> brontosaurusrex: it's mkv file
[19:23] <Ibis> nphase: What exactly are you doing? o_O
[19:23] <brontosaurusrex> qirk: lol, then "file.mkv"
[19:23] <qirk> brontosaurusrex: just wanted to tell you :)
[19:23] <nphase> Ibis: i'm trying to use the mysqlnd extension for mysqli
[19:23] <scorinitron> hi guys I'm running ubuntu 10.04 I'm new to linux and want to learn bash this is my second day using IRC
[19:24] <joshthetechie> ubottu: Okay. I'll check those out. It's something with the codecs, but I'm not sure how to fix it
[19:24] <nphase> Ibis: but while php5.3 has mysqlnd built into the source it doesnt seem like php5.3/ubuntu actually builds it.
[19:24] <brontosaurusrex> scorinitron: /j #bash
[19:24] <Krenair> joshthetechie, ubottu is a bot
[19:24] <joshthetechie> Krenair: ahh...okay
[19:24] <joshthetechie> :)
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> joshthetechie: use the sound troubleshooting procedure page, there is an alsa-info.sh file command. Run it and upload to the server. A URL will be generated. What is the URL
[19:24] <fhtagn> scorinitron: http://www.ooblick.com/text/sh/ =D helped me before
[19:25] <qirk> brontosaurusrex: failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[19:25] <joshthetechie> alsa-info.sh
[19:25] <scorinitron> Srry I missed the site
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> brontosaurusrex: i think you're on the trail :-)
[19:25] <brontosaurusrex> qirk: ok, try "sudo apt-get install libvdpau1" < i hope thats still valid and retry
[19:26] <qirk> ActionParsnip: vlc version is 1.1.12-1
[19:26] <oscar> !repair
[19:26] <brontosaurusrex> ActionParsnip: well i made it happen with my asus with ion, so i know its working - with mplayer
[19:26] <joshthetechie> ActionParsnip: How do I run the command?
[19:26] <scorinitron> Is their way to surf anonymously?
[19:26] <qirk> brontosaurusrex: libvdpau 0.0.1-1 is installed
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> Qirk: and the output of: lsb_release -sc
[19:26] <g0rs> scorinitron: use a proxy server
[19:27] <scorinitron> g0rs, how?
[19:27] <qirk> ActionParsnip: that's unfortunately not a valid command for me on arch :/
[19:27] <oscar> !grub
[19:27] <scorinitron> How do I use a proxy?
[19:27] <scorinitron> how will I go about setting one up
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> joshthetechie: the command is on the page, its not just alsa-info.sh   run it in a terminal
[19:27] <Sheath> i changed monitors and now my new monitor is saying input not supported, how do i change the resolution with out having a visable desktop?
[19:27] <g0rs> scorinitron: Thre are anonymous proxy servers some of which are free, you'd have to pay for others which offer proxy and high bandwidth.
[19:28] <joshthetechie> ActionParsnip: Okay
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> Qirk: arch isn't supported here. This is ubuntu support
[19:28] <brontosaurusrex> qirk: and nvidia drivers are working just fine?
[19:28] <Ibis> VPN > Proxy
[19:28] <scorinitron> g0rs, is their a way you can show me how?
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> Qirk: arch has its own support channels
[19:28] <g0rs> scorinitron: samair.ru lists a few proxy servers. I'd warn you that their speed is very slow.
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> !arch
[19:29] <qirk> ActionParsnip: indeed...
[19:29] <scorinitron> g0rs, anyone recommended?
[19:29] <qirk> that's why I came here
[19:29] <brontosaurusrex> qirk: what does "lspci | grep VGA" do?
[19:29] <g0rs> scorinitron: pick something from their proxy server list. USually they mention their uptime and country. it is better to choose any county other than usa.
[19:29] <ActionParsnip> Qirk: so you should ask in the arch channel, not here
[19:30] <qirk> brontosaurusrex: it outputs nvidia as the VGA controller
[19:30] <NoTV__> I want to put Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on an empty USB. What type/format should the USB be and what file system should I use?
[19:30] <qirk> ActionParsnip: works pretty well here too
[19:30] <monstaRtruck> if i made a new user do i need to set a passwd to ssh with a dsa key?
[19:30] <Ibis> ActionParsnip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIvxqUCu41Q
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> brontosaurusrex: can you please take it to the arch channel :)
[19:30] <brontosaurusrex> ActionParsnip: ok
[19:31] <qirk> I'm not a registered user, can't talk on the arch channel..
[19:31] <Ibis> brontosaurusrex: SHows you what Video card you're using.
[19:31] <dontbehero> oO native netflix client for linux??!!!
[19:31] <brontosaurusrex> Ibis: thanks

Before disconnecting the monitor I open my display settings panel and then select the monitor I am about to disconnect, then hit off. Then I apply. After a second or two, any windows I had open in the other monitor drop over to my laptop monitor and life goes on. However the issue is this, if I do that process, after haveing let the computer go to sleep for a

[19:32] <scorinitron> g0rs, their has to be a way your using a proxy for free
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> !register
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> Ibis: slow web presently. If I'm on later and you see me, hit me again and i'll check it
[19:32] <scorinitron> g0rs,...I'm 17 xD
[19:33] <g0rs> scorinitron: i did use a few proxy servers there sometime ago. Some of the servers which aer free are fast. you'd have to try a few.
[19:33] <Ibis> ActionParsnip: That was suppsoe to be a "you failed" sound effect from the "Price is right" game show. xD
[19:33] <NoTV__> I really need an answer, guys! --> I want to put Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on an empty USB. What type/format should the USB be and what file system should I use?
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> Ibis: ahh i see :-)
[19:34] <Ibis> NoTV__: Use a fat32 File system. Use Ubuntbootin to put your Ubuntu ISO onto your USB flash drive.
[19:34] <brontosaurusrex> NoTV__: ext2 did work for me yesterday (buy i was just wild-guessing)
[19:34] <qirk> ActionParsnip: you could also refer me to the vlc channel
[19:34] <scorinitron> g0rs, any recommendations?
[19:34] <g0rs> scorinitron: you can use some proxy servers to appear as if you are in another coutry :)
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> NoTV__: unetbootin will handle that. I'd got for FAT16. Remember to MD5 test the ISO you download
