[18:23] <sacarlson> gsfai: i've used it a bit but will require some google
[18:24] <hidnshadows> While i'm here, anyone need any general troubleshooting?
[18:24] <trojanking> i have run it
[18:24] <nit-wit> hidnshadows, yes the gparted partitioner on the live cd will make a partition table and partitions. If you use a installed Ubuntu you just have to install gparted
[18:24] <trojanking> ActionParsnip, i have do it
[18:24] <TopGear> well, i want to upload files to newsgroups. but no idea how to do that.
[18:24] <hidnshadows> nit-wit and then lemme guess, partition>new?
[18:25] <KM0201> trojanking: if you ran all those commands he gave you.. reboot and see if it picked up your other OS install
[18:25] <denile> gsfai, what happens if you try to mount sda1?
[18:25] <neriukas> what is in da1? :D
[18:25] <nit-wit> hidnshadows, yes, have you used gparted it is similar to most other partitioner's
[18:25] <neriukas> *sda1?
[18:26] <hidnshadows> nit-wit I've already done that, make a new partition, but is ext2 the wrong thing to format it to?
[18:26] <AegNuddel> bye
[18:26] <sacarlson> gsfai: I think it's  dd if=/dev/sda of=./test.dat  count=1
[18:26] <nit-wit> hidnshadows, why would you want ext2 just asking
[18:26] <sacarlson> gsfai: might need a sudo
[18:26] <hidnshadows> nit-wit it was the default, what should I have formatted it to?
[18:27] <hidnshadows> nit-wit the closest thing was FAT32
[18:27] <tcopeland> how do i convert bash script file into a binary executable (so the contents of the script are not viewable/output)?
[18:27] <smw> tcopeland, there is no way to convert it to binary
[18:28] <gobbe> tcopeland: it's not possible. If you need binary, then program it with program language, bash scripts are just scripts
[18:28] <Pici> tcopeland: #bash might have some suggestions on how to do that.
[18:28] <sacarlson> denile: that's an idea gsfai,  will it mount?
[18:28] <nit-wit> hidnshadows, you just need to use that drop down where you see the partition types to get the one you want. ext2 can be read by windows but it is not a easy raod where as a ntfs is the standard route for sharing. All my externals are in ntfs and I'm a 99% open source user  just happen to have MS licences and installs
[18:28] <lapion> anyone have any idea what tool I can use to convert a multi-address vcf file into smaller single address files ?
[18:29] <denile> sacarlson, I am also interested in the error if it won't mount :)
[18:29] <gsfai> sacarlson, second
[18:29] <hidnshadows> nit-wit I didn't see ntfs, I'll look again
[18:29] <nit-wit> hidnshadows, are you using gparted
[18:30] <tcopeland> it doesn't have to be binary per se, but can i make an executable out of an sh? a programming language seems unnecessary seing as the script just executes a few terminal commands
[18:30] <gsfai> denile, i tried to mount, the program took like one hour trying to mount it, and then i quit it manualy
[18:30] <hidnshadows> nit-wit I was, yeah
[18:30] <hidnshadows> nit-wit freshly installed from the repos
[18:30] <nit-wit> hidnshadows, I am making a picture for you
[18:30] <sacarlson> gsfai: quit manualy with no error?  like time out?
[18:30] <denile> gsfai, since you killed the mount  have you rebooted?
[18:31] <gsfai> denile, nope
[18:31] <hidnshadows> nit-wit I've made the partition, I just didn't see ntfs in the drop-down of what to format it to
[18:31] <gsfai> sacarlson, it just hanged
[18:31] <gsfai> sacarlson, ok got your results
[18:31] <nit-wit> hidnshadows, have you found it
[18:31] <sacarlson> gsfai: how about view some /var/log/system files
[18:31] <Sub_Zero> Can anyone help me with my wireless issue?
[18:31] <gobbe> Sub_Zero: what kind of issue?
[18:32] <gsfai> it has a few non-ascii characters, then says "GRUB GeomHard DiskRead Error"
[18:32] <tcopeland> Sub_Zero: does this have to do with a broadcom wireless card?
[18:32] <hidnshadows> nit-wit I feel stupid now, it's "create partiton table" that I want?
[18:32] <KM0201> Sub_Zero: if this is really a wide-spread problem as you suspect, there's probably not much of a "fix" for it... you'll have to wait till there's an update
[18:32] <sacarlson> gsfai: what's that from the dd?
[18:32] <GeorgiePie> I installed ubuntu through wubi. but it says my disk space free is 7 gigs. that is a little too slim . should i just delete ubuntu and wubi it all over?
[18:32] <gsfai> yes
[18:32] <Sub_Zero> gobbe tcopeland I made a thread and apparently it's to do with the new kernel http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1655602&page=1
[18:33] <Sub_Zero> Any help would be appreciated
[18:33] <gobbe> Sub_Zero: well, like I told. I am running same kernel and broadcom wireless atm
[18:33] <gsfai[blap]> sacarlson, denile: Dec 30 13:33:36 ubuntu kernel: [    9.118994] EXT4-fs warning (device sda1): ext4_clear_journal_err: Marking fs in need of filesystem check.
[18:33] <gsfai> from syslog
[18:33] <KM0201> tcopeland: is there a link detailing this broadcom problem w/ the new kernel
[18:34] <hidnshadows> georgiepie may I PM you?
[18:34] <nit-wit> hidnshadows, click on devices in the top panel, you have to remove the partitions first, it is empty correct
[18:34] <tcopeland> KM0201: i do not have the issue, i was just wondering if it had to do with the broadcom cards because of the recent known issue.
[18:34] <d-1337> Heard recently about an email client called mailsteward for macs that uses an sql database to allow for quick searches of large archives of emails
[18:34] <sacarlson> gsfai: I just did the dd on mine and just get random data,  I need a hex view but I forget the name
[18:35] <d-1337> any ideas of a linux equicalent?
[18:35] <KM0201> tcopeland: is there anywhere to read about this "known issue".. is my pont.
[18:35] <hidnshadows> nit-wit probably, as far as I know it is even though the fact that it looks empty, yet is only 456 GB instead of the advertised 500 is a bit troubling
[18:35] <d-1337> equivalent,,,...
[18:35] <denile> gsfai, check mtab?
[18:36] <gsfai> mtab says nothing about /dev/sda
[18:36] <nit-wit> hidnshadows, that is just the mathematics of how a gig is measured
[18:36] <d-1337> It is already that way...
[18:36] <denile> gsfai, check /proc/mounts
[18:36] <haddiman> I downloaded the HP drivers from their website. What's the difference between HPIJS and HPCUPS ppd files?
[18:37] <gsfai> denile, nothing about /dev/sda there either
[18:37] <denile> gsfai, hrrm
[18:37] <hidnshadows> nit-wit alright. So hit device>create partition table, then what type do I want, msdos?
[18:37] <nit-wit> hidnshadows, yes
[18:37] <hidnshadows> nit-wit alright sweet thanks man
[18:37] <abhijeet> hi guys
[18:38] <nit-wit> hidnshadows, here is a screen shot of the partition choice section. http://imagebin.org/130270
[18:38] <abhijeet> my splash screen got messed up after installing the Ati graphics drivers
[18:38] <abhijeet> is there any soln for it to get it back
[18:38] <abhijeet> without removing the drivers
[18:38] <nit-wit> abhijeet, do you get the grub menu
[18:40] <abhijeet> nit-wit, yeah.. now the progress buttons looks like small squares
[18:40] <tcopeland> KM0201: (sorry for the delay in response) it's strange because i have a ~3 year old broadcom chipset and mine works fine
[18:40] <michaelgamble> hmm how do i set my timzone in gnome
[18:41] <michaelgamble> i think its set wrong, showing the wrong time
[18:41] <nit-wit> abhijeet, if you get the grub menu you can hit e and add nomodeset righ before the quiet splash in the kernel line, this gives you a low graphics mode
[18:41] <sacarlson> gsfai: I just got my ghex working they changed the name to ghex2 and seems I see the same thing in dd /dev/sda  so the disk must be working
[18:41] <tcopeland> KM0201: it needs proprietary drivers (don't all broadcom cards?) and takes a while to wakeup when waking from suspend, but otherwise fine
[18:41] <abhijeet> nit-wit, will that resolve the issue
[18:41] <nit-wit> abhijeet, you just ctrl+x to boot from the edit
[18:41] <gsfai> sacarlson, the disk was OK, until a power failure
[18:42] <nit-wit> abhijeet, it may get you in in a low graphics to fix the problem
[18:42] <gsfai> when i booted next time i got a BusyBox shell
[18:42] <sacarlson> gsfai: oh busybox means the grub works then
[18:42] <abhijeet> nit-wit, if it got resolved then how can i make it permanent
[18:42] <gsfai> sacarlson, but everything else doesnt :)
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> abhijeet: use this: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/    makes the boot use the fb driver
[18:43] <nit-wit> abhijeet, you added a graphics driver that messed up your splash, correct
[18:43] <abhijeet> nit-wit, yes
[18:44] <abhijeet> ActionParsnip, i will also check that
[18:44] <tcopeland> abhijeet: are you using xorg-edgers
[18:44] <sacarlson> gsfai: ok what seen if we do a dd on /dev/sda1  since I assume this is were you have grub set to find root and /boot
[18:44] <nit-wit> abhijeet, all this does is get you into a session in low graphics, was the generic driver working?
[18:44] <nirazio> During installation of Ubuntu 10.04 I was not allowed to use capitals in my Username. Is there any way I could change this?
[18:44] <abhijeet> tcopeland, i have no idea. what is that
[18:44] <gsfai> sacarlson, grub is not the problem
[18:44] <sacarlson> gsfai: I'm not sure we will be able to interprit what we see
[18:44] <gsfai> the machine boots, until it gets a nice and sexy Busybox
[18:44] <abhijeet> nit-wit, generic driver is working but my system is getting hot and fans are running fast...
[18:44] <ZykoticK9> nirazio, to my knowledge capitals aren't allowed in "user names"
[18:44] <gsfai> and i cant fsck it
[18:45] <Leonw> Hi all! :)
[18:45] <bluezone> nirazio, and i wouldn't suggest using capitals in a case sensitive os
[18:45] <sacarlson> gsfai: no the problem is when grub tries to install linux and I guess can't find it and that's in /dev/sda1
[18:45] <dougl> hello Leonw
[18:45] <tcopeland> abhijeet: edgers is a *very* unstable open source graphics drivers, that can be very powerful with the right hardware. the instability is caused by its being updated straight from upstream.
[18:45] <nit-wit> abhijeet, not sure how a graphics driver would change that
[18:45] <Leonw> Any one solved the bug on Empathy "Network Error" for msn accounts on ubuntu 10.04?
[18:45] <gsfai> sacarlson, the problem i had yesterday is 100% solved
[18:45] <sacarlson> gsfai: you can't fsck it but you can dd it
[18:45] <gsfai> sacarlson, that problem is on a laptop
[18:46] <abhijeet> tcopeland, then in that case no.. I am using close source Ati drivers.. it has lot better power management than open source drivers.
[18:46] <sacarlson> gsfai: if you can dd it then you could really recreate it on anouther working partition
[18:46] <Leonw> gsfai, you can dd it piping to another computer :P
[18:46] <nit-wit> abhijeet, you added a ppa
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> Leonw: check the bug logs to see if it's solved
[18:47] <abhijeet> nit-wit, ppa of what??
[18:47] <Leonw> Empathy + MSN... any one was able to make it work??
[18:47] <gsfai> sacarlson, what if i can dd it? It will still have the same errors
[18:47] <nit-wit> abhijeet, did you?
[18:47] <allgandu> hi need help
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> tcopeland: the issue is, is that the proprietary driver takes a while to load, giving no plymouth
[18:47] <abhijeet> nit-wit, there are lot of pps repos are there in my sources.list file
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> allgandu: askaway
[18:47] <sacarlson> gsfai:  if you can dd it you can move it to where it's not buys
[18:47] <sacarlson> busy
[18:47] <nit-wit> abhijeet, did you add one like the xcrack drivers one
[18:47] <abhijeet> ActionParsnip, is there any work around for that
[18:48] <abhijeet> nit-wit, i d't think so..
[18:48] <allgandu> actionparsnip how do i show u a screenshot of my terminal ?
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> tcopeland: if you tell the OS to use the fb driver for the boot, it shows. The proprietary driver has now had time to load and will be used in the desktop :)
[18:48] <sacarlson> gsfai: I might be way off here
[18:48] <gsfai> sacarlson, the disk is NOT busy, linux just thinks it is, because of an error
[18:48] <Leonw> ActionParsnip, Why put a bugged software as standard?? :(
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> allgandu: press printscreen, or use imagemaick
[18:49] <gsfai> even lsof and fuser return errors
[18:49] <Leonw> ActionParsnip, this harms ubuntu reputation...
[18:49] <tcopeland> ActionParsnip: i'm going to kick myself but what do you mean by "fb driver"?
[18:49] <sacarlson> gsfai: you must be correct,  there must be some busy bit it reads and things it is
[18:49] <abhijeet> tcopeland,  as ActionParsnip told that drivers are taking time to load .. can we make it load during initial stages of boot
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> tcopeland: instead of the frglrx driver, you can use the fb driver
[18:49] <allgandu> wats imagemaick?
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> allgandu: a brilliant swissarmy knife of image manipulation tools and commands
[18:50] <abhijeet> ActionParsnip, i think earlier i was using frglrx drivers.. so is there another driver type
[18:50] <allgandu> actionparsnip where do i upload?
[18:50] <ZykoticK9> allgandu, just add "command line" to ActionParsnip's comment above ;)
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> abhijeet: use the guide up until the embedded video and it will force the boot to use the driver
[18:50] <sacarlson> gsfai: maybe I can google the map for busy or mounted indicator  bit map in a partition
[18:51] <carson> Running games under Wine VS V tualbox, wich is better, pros and cons of each, and is there a better solution to run Windows games in linux?
[18:51] <abhijeet> ActionParsnip, the link which u provided at top right??
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> Leonw: default doesnt mean an app is any worse or better
[18:51] <carson> *Virtualbox
[18:51] <gsfai> sacarlson, there should be a way to override this, like -f
[18:51] <Leonw> ActionParsnip, it should at least work :-/
[18:51] <gsfai> but fsck has no -f
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> abhijeet: yes
[18:51] <abhijeet> ActionParsnip, ok
[18:51] <allgandu> sum1 plz help
[18:52] <allgandu> its serious kernel issue
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> Leonw: i always use pidgin, and not msn stuff
[18:52] <Pici> !screenshot | allgandu
[18:52] <denile> gsfai, run sync
[18:52] <allgandu> just tell me how n where to upload
[18:52] <tcopeland> allgandu: what is the issue exactly?
[18:52] <wafflesausage> carson: A game's pretty much guaranteed to run under VirtualBox, which isn't the case with Whine. Of course, with VirtualBox you're going to have quite a bit more overhead
[18:52] <Leonw> Me too... pidgin with 3 msn, 1 ICQ, 1 gtalk, facebook and IRC :P
[18:52] <allgandu> tcopeland wait ill screenshot it n upload it
[18:52] <Leonw> also Adium on my mac
[18:53] <gsfai> denile, it printed 2 newlines, then it hanged
[18:53] <denile> what did it print?
[18:53] <carson> wafflesausage  but aparently virtualbox isnt compatible with usb and all these things, but when i read that it was at version 2 so im not sure how much better its gotten
[18:53] <paddy_> My computer apparently is filing
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> carson: the closed source one is
[18:53] <wafflesausage> carson: I'm not sure what you mean by that. It should work with your hardware.
[18:54] <nostro_> hey guys, I managed to get myself locked out of my netbook by creating a bulletproof KIOSKMODE using this:http://www.instructables.com/id/Setting-Up-Ubuntu-as-a-Kiosk-Web-Appliance/    i forgot to set the loginscreen time to change the user. any suggestions?
[18:54] <denile> gsfai, you mean newlines as in /n  ?
[18:54] <gsfai> denile, yes
[18:54] <denile> gsfai, did sync zombie?
[18:54] <carson> wafflesausage apparently usb ports dont work with virtualbox and a few other things, it hasnt been programmed into it yet <so ive read>
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> carson: the closed source virtualbox has usb support
[18:55] <gsfai> denile, im gonna check right now
[18:55] <wafflesausage> carson: Your best bet would be to actually try it
[18:55] <carson> ActionParsnip really? okay il check that out
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> carson: if you install virtualbox-ose it won't access usb ports as you say
[18:55] <allgandu> pici tcopeland anyone help here is screenshot http://imagebin.org/130274
[18:56] <carson> wafflesausage i am going to try it, but i just wanted to know if its worth the hassle first, and see if its better then wine is
[18:56] <carson> ActionParsnip okay il check it out, thanks
[18:56] <gsfai> denile, ps says "root 14997 0.0 0.0 3880 248 pts/2 D+ 18:52 0:00 sync"
[18:56] <Pici> allgandu: Are you configuring another package in some other terminal right now?
[18:56] <wafflesausage> carson: I'd try both. Some games might work great with Whine, though others may not.
[18:56] <Pici> !appdb | carson you may want to check this out too
[18:57] <paddy_> My computer is failing to mount it's filesystem on boot. It says: mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/<uid> on /root     Failed: invalid argument.    What's wrong?
[18:57] <allgandu> pici 1st tell me how do i send messages to a particular person here in chat room like u sent to me rite now?
[18:57] <Pici> allgandu: You just did.
[18:57] <allgandu> @pici no im not
[18:57] <carson> ubottu thanks il look into that, that might actually help alot! :P
[18:57] <Pici> allgandu: Yes, you did. Just prefix your response with my nick.

[18:59] <LSEactuary> and the instructions make no sense
[19:00] <Pici> allgandu: I asked you whether you were using dpkg-reconfigure or similar in another tab.
[19:00] <allgandu> Pici, no im not
[19:00] <Pici> LSEactuary: You should ask in #freenode if you have any further questions about registering.
[19:00] <denile> gsfai, just give me like the last 15 lines or so   dmesg | tail -15
[19:00] <bismay> sacarlson:i followed what was in that document to create personal repository
[19:01] <sacarlson> bismay: cool
[19:01] <LSEactuary> its not workingh
[19:01] <ActionParsnip> abhijeet: what is the output of:  lsb_release -a    thanks?
[19:01] <exxtreme> flashplayer 10 is crashing in firefox ..how to fix?
[19:01] <Pici> allgandu: What does the output of  sudo fuser -vi /var/cache/debconf/config.dat   say?
[19:01] <gsfai> denile, wireless stuff
[19:01] <gsfai> denile, and some drivers loading

[19:02] <LSEactuary> i need urgent help disinfecting my USB's - why do i need to registyer... iv ebeen using this for a month now without it an ive been fine
[19:02] <bismay> and now i have a directory usr/local/mydebs which has all the current repository which are currently in var/cache/apt/archives
[19:02] <exxtreme> what's the recommended way to install flash player in ubuntu?
[19:02] <Pici> LSEactuary: I don't know why you need to register, you asked, I answered.
[19:02] <gobbe> exxtreme: apt-get
[19:02] <exxtreme> ok
[19:03] <allgandu> Pici, what should i type in shell? sudo fuser -vi /var/cache/debconf/config.dat  ?
[19:03] <sacarlson> gsfai: how about umount -f /dev/sda1 ?
[19:03] <abhijeet> ActionParsnip,  earlier i tried to find the resolution for it but i can't find any
[19:03] <Pici> allgandu: yes
[19:03] <sacarlson> gsfai: -f for force
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> abhijeet: then you should have the file as maverick uses grub2
[19:03] <Pici> allgandu: You can use a pastebin instead of imagebin to send your response. See http://paste.ubuntu.com

[19:03] <tcopeland> this might be related to xenno's problem- sometimes my keyboard and mouse support will just crash, sometimes one, sometimes both. if it's the keyboard that crashes, then it only crahses in the X11 environment; i can still perform kernel keypresses (i.e. ctrl+alt+F__, REISUB, etc). if the mouse support crashes, it will either stop working completely or, for example, if i click on a menu such as the gnome "system" menu, the text will ch

[19:07] <Pici> allgandu: Now check: ps aux | grep frontend
[19:07] <denile> gsfai, strace -p <pid of sync>
[19:07] <allgandu> Pici, should i do what ActionParsnip said above?
[19:07] <LSEactuary> hi - i just fully regsitered and its saying i havent registered! wtf
[19:07] <bismay> sacarlson:no i haven't
[19:07] <Pici> allgandu: No, we should figure out what the process is first.
[19:08] <tcopeland> LSEactuary: are youu sure this issue belongs in this channel?
[19:08] <gsfai> attached, interrupt to quit
[19:08] <denile> gsfai, I hate to say this, but I would have probably rebooted by now lol.
[19:08] <xenno> the weird thing is that both my mouse and keyboard is completely locked down when I enter the login screen but after few minutes I'm able to use it??
[19:08] <LSEactuary> no its a windows problem but i just fully regsitered and cannot seem to access any other forum

[19:09] <bismay> sacarlson:may be it cleans it self as you told
[19:09] <denile> gsfai, strace sync
[19:09] <tcopeland> LSEactuary: access to freenode channels is not related to registered nicks, at least not on the scale in which you can only access this channel
[19:09] <sacarlson> bismay: if compiz isn't on the cd then it must have been in /var/apt/cache,  no?
[19:09] <bismay> sacarlson:and i can make an iso of that file and use it
[19:10] <LSEactuary> okay np thanks

[19:12] <tcopeland> xenno: when your mouse and/or keyboard support stops, can you still perform kernel-level commands? (try ctrl+alt+F2, and ctrl+alt+F7 to get out of the fullscreen tty)

[19:15] <jfe> hi all.
[19:15] <xenno> it's annoying that I have to wait for the keyboard and mouse to be enabled

[19:16] <allgandu> 88890-=
what this command will do?
[19:16] <sacarlson> bismay: did you ever apt-get clean?  I thought everything installed stays until then
[19:16] <vipul>  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.lis <--- The folder is Empty
[19:16] <tcopeland> Thank you Pici. ugh...
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> bismay: it's not a command, I told ubottu to tell you about compiz
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> bismay: compiz is in a default install
i dont remember actually
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> bismay: if its not running then you havent enabled 3d accelleration
[19:17] <tcopeland> xenno: you say that you only have to wait before support kicks in? is the wait roughly the same length every time?
[19:17] <vipul>  /etc/apt/sources.lis <-- here also Folder is Empty
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> bismay: if you drop the , and > from your text, it will make your text higlight, like ours does to you. Those extra characters make the highlight not happen
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> vipul: /etc/apt/sources.list  is a file
[19:18] <vipul> ActionParsnip,  There is nuthing in those command i mean when i used gedit and then two commands which you gave me
[19:18] <vipul> i found nuthng
ya it is running but i have installed compiz configure settings manger after installing the os
[19:18] <sacarlson> bismay: well since it's missing try reinstall compiz,  is that the only thing missing?
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> vipul: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list &; /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[19:18] <bastidrazor> vipul: you're misspelling.. .list not .lis
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> bismay: oh you mean compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:19] <xenno> yep but it just  happened recently,it used to work fine when I did a fresh install
[19:19] <tcopeland> xenno: did it happen right after a system upgrade
[19:19] <bismay> sacarlson:no a lot of other packages are also missing
[19:19] <xenno> yes
[19:19] <denile> gsfai, Are you willing to reboot the live usb and see if you can get rid of the I/O issue?
yes
[19:19] <vipul> http://paste.ubuntu.com/548898/           <---- gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:20] <gsfai> denile, ofc, just a second
[19:20] <l7> what is the best way to configure an external usb backup drive?  should i configure the drive to journaled instead of ordered and use ext3?
[19:20] <ActionParsnip> vipul: you have a jaunty ppa defined in your lucid sources
[19:20] <tcopeland> xenno: i forget how to access them, but apitude keeps logs of system upgrades. you'll probably find the package that is faulty/broken/other.
[19:20] <sacarlson> bismay: well then this method is a failure,  back to using the other method
[19:21] <vipul> http://paste.ubuntu.com/548899/   gedit  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[19:21] <bismay> sacarlson:but know as i have the list of all the installed packages cant i download them again and copy them  to that directory
[19:21] <vipul> so its wrong to defined jaunty in lucid
[19:21] <sacarlson> bismay: yes
[19:22] <vipul> i was trying to update my gyachi client so i have edited it to jaunty as it was mention for jaunty
[19:22] <sacarlson> bismay: what is the format of the list?
[19:22] <bismay> scarlson:so how to only download them again?
[19:23] <VCoolio> l7: if you want it to be accessible from windows, you'll need ntfs; else ext3 or ext4 is ok; you could consider jfs or others, depending on your needs
[19:23] <sacarlson> bismay: I guess you need to create a bash script
[19:23] <bismay> sacarlson:it has no format just installed-software
[19:24] <bismay> sacarlson:how??
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> vipul: hmmm, do you use a proxy?
[19:24] <vipul> before i have used Tor but now i have removed it
[19:25] <l7> VCoolio: yeah it is exclusively for ubuntu and i figured ext3 would keep my data safer.  will using journaled instead of ordered also help protect the data?
[19:25] <bastidrazor> bismay: apt-get has a --download-only option
[19:25] <l7> i read about that but am not sure what's the right way to tweak it
[19:25] <bismay> but how to downlooad all the files
[19:25] <LunixExpert> What is the command for listing the direcory?
[19:25] <bismay> sacarlson, but how to download alla the files?

[19:26] <shcherbak> LunixExpert: ls -l
[19:26] <jfe> what is the most popular gui ftp client for ubuntu?
[19:26] <sacarlson> bismay: no format?  is it packagname <cr>  one colum per line?

[19:26] <RobbyRob_> Question, I am trying to get Ubuntu 10.10 on my machine and I get it installed but when it trys to boot up I just get a black screen with a blinking underscore. Any ideas on how to fix this?
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> RobbyRob_: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[19:27] <VCoolio> l7: I'm not too sure either; there's some explanation here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide#Filesystem_Types you can specify with mount options (man mount) in /etc/fstab
[19:27] <bismay> sacarlson, it is packgaename one column it is installed or not another columne and again it is installed or not another column
[19:27] <vipul> ActionParsnip,  ? so what shud i do now ?
[19:27] <ActionParsnip> Pici: may I PM please?
[19:27] <sacarlson> bishmay: it would not be hard to create a bash script if one is not already around to wget each deb file in the list
[19:28] <bismay> acpi-support					install
[19:28] <bismay> acpid						install
[19:28] <l7> VCoolio: alright thanks, the arch wiki looks interesting...
[19:28] <sacarlson> bismay: oh that's 2 colums
[19:28] <shcherbak> jfe: ftp have gui? search ftp in synaptic (for gnome get gtk version)
[19:29] <sacarlson> bismay: is the secound colum always install?

[19:30] <Fr4gg0r> hi
[19:30] <sacarlson> bismay: first I would see if a script didn't already exist if not I would write a bash with sed and wget
[19:30] <vipul> ActionParsnip,  how ? shud i check
[19:30] <bismay> sacarlson, no many case it is blank
[19:30] <Fr4gg0r> currently I have ubuntu 10.10, I also want to have win xp for gaming.. how can I achieve that?

[19:35] <carson> I have previously installed Ubuntu 10.10 32bit on my 64bit computer by mistake, it couldnot connect to the internet and so when i realised i had a 64 bit computer i got rid of it from the computer and reinstalled the 64 bit version of it thinking that would solve the problems. i am testing it on the new computer and it still wont connect to the internet, if i click the wireless icon at the top right Wired Network and Wireless Network
[19:35] <carson>  are both disconnected and grayed out so i cannot connect them, how can i fix this?
[19:35] <Ryein> whats the easiest way to setup a mail server and manage it?
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> abhijeet: same difference
[19:35] <bismay> sacarlson, i was just asking
[19:36] <bismay> sacarlson, do it when you want
[19:36] <abhijeet> ActionParsnip, no.. it is better than previous seeting.. shutdown screen is working fine only the booting screen is not working
[19:36] <denile> gsfai, doing ok still? lol
[19:36] <sacarlson> bismay: no but I did think of a solution maybe,  start a new virtualbox virgin and take your list and do the install with this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261366
[19:36] <Dr_Willis_> carson:  does the system -> admin -> addational drivers  tool suggest installing anything?
[19:37] <DDAZZA> I have done somthing which has stopped me from being able to watch DVDs in all my media players and on virtual machines. What should I do?
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> Ryein: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MailServer
[19:37] <sacarlson> bismay: then you will have your none cleaned cache with all the packages
[19:37] <Dr_Willis_> DDAZZA:  run a player from a terminal. try to play a dvd.. look for error messages for starters..
[19:37] <gsfai> denile, usb boots slow lol
[19:37] <denile> gsfai, k, just checking :)
[19:37] <gsfai> denile, ok it booted, what to do now?
[19:38] <carson> Dr_Willis_ yes, ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver, when i installed it it said "Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ya di ya di ya, wich it failed because it cannot connect to the internet
[19:38] <ZykoticK9> DDAZZA, "mplayer dvd://1" in a terminal might give you the output you need (if you have mplayer installed)
[19:38] <denile> gsfai, i would try to fsck /dev/sda1
[19:38] <Dr_Willis_> carson:  ati drivers are for video cards. Not wireless.. you may need to determine your exact wireless chipset and check the forums for any potential issues.
[19:38] <gsfai> device or resource busy
[19:38] <denile> lol
[19:39] <bismay> sacarlson, thats a good idea thanks.now let me do that and let me know you tomorrow
[19:39] <Dr_Willis_> carson:  you may alwo want to try to run a wired connection, and do a update/upgrade of the system. It might fix any known bugs with your chipset
[19:40] <DDAZZA> Dr_Willis_, This is the error: http://pastebin.com/TsMkaPmp
[19:40] <denile> gsfai, grep /proc/mounts for sda
[19:40] <carson> alright... how would i determine the chipset? and i would but the wire doesent reach that far and my dad wont let me move the computer closer to fix it for somereason <i tried that when the 32bit version had this problem>
[19:40] <gsfai> no results
[19:40] <denile> gsfai, does it give the same errors as before on lsoffuser?
[19:40] <denile> lsof fuser*(
[19:41] <ZykoticK9> DDAZZA, looks like you have a region issue.  sorry i have no idea how to fix that - FYI you can only change the region of a dvd player a certain number of times before it's locked - so be careful
[19:41] <gsfai> Yes
[19:41] <R3dy> My damn header files are in /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-24-generic/include/linux

[19:43] <ZykoticK9> R3dy, if you're trying VMWare 7.1 on Ubuntu 10.10 i found a patch online (no i won't provide link, as it was very questionable - but it worked) http://paste.ubuntu.com/548905/
[19:43] <campbellgolf> how do i check to see if a service is running?
[19:43] <R3dy> I don't think I'm using 7.1
[19:43] <Dr_Willis_> DDAZZA:  i would double check that the decess stuff is isntalld. -> libdvdcss
[19:43] <sacarlson> gsfai: I thought we had that Cannot stat file /proc/13989/fd/36: Stale NFS file handle  ok a little diff
[19:43] <Ryein> ActionParsnip i said the easiest way :D
[19:43] <R3dy> but thanks i'll check it out
[19:43] <gsfai> sacarlson, yes, but now it has 3 errors, it used to have 2 :P
[19:44] <sacarlson> gsfai: oh ok
[19:44] <sacarlson> gsfai: well that's progress for ya
[19:44] <denile> sacarlson, not much lol I am starting to feel useless
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> Ryein: its not easy, its very involved

[19:47] <denile> gsfai, k ty for your patience
[19:47] <isaacx> i'd like to edit the session options in kde login in ubuntu Maverick, could someone please advise me on how to do this?
[19:47] <hidnshadows> soreau but what utility can I use to host files, so that someone else does that
[19:48] <KaiForce> what is OFTC?
[19:48] <denile> gsfai, you have gparted on the live boot?
[19:48] <soreau> hidnshadows: You put them on a server
[19:48] <hidnshadows> soreau so no "easy" way to do it, even just for local network?
[19:48] <Pici> KaiForce: Its another IRC network, separate from freenode.  There are a lot of similar channels on it though.
[19:49] <gsfai> denile, i do
[19:49] <isaacx> does anyone know where the init files are for kde login?
[19:49] <dotblank> does ubuntu 10.10 no longer read fdi files with HAL?
[19:49] <denile> gsfai, try and check partition from gparted and see what happens
[19:50] <isaacx> i've searched everywhere . . .
[19:50] <soreau> hidnshadows: Im sure there is a way to have one of your machines behave as server
[19:51] <hidnshadows> soreau alright, I was hoping for something but I'll just try server edition on a virtual edition
[19:51] <shcherbak> Haraken: 14.14 d 5.1.49
[19:51] <gsfai> denile, device or resource busy
[19:51] <soreau> hidnshadows: You dont need server edition to do what you want
[19:51] <zoite> hi
[19:52] <Haraken> schatan, 10.04?
[19:52] <soreau> hidnshadows: Any linux will work, you would just have to set it up to act that way
[19:52] <Haraken> err shcherbak errr 10.04?
[19:52] <shcherbak> 10.10
[19:52] <dschuett> anyone know what applet.jar would be located in /var/www/ ???
[19:52] <zoite> how can install winzip on ubuntu
[19:52] <Haraken> thanks
[19:52] <shcherbak> Haraken: sql is 14.14
[19:52] <hidnshadows> zoite it's called 7zip
[19:52] <soreau> hidnshadows: What are you ultimately trying to do or what does your setup look like?
[19:52] <denile> gsfai, you dont happen to have a gparted live cd/usb do you?
[19:52] <zoite> ok
[19:52] <ActionParsnip> hidnshadows: you can use samba to share folders in ubuntu, if you install openssh-server you can access files using sftp
[19:53] <hidnshadows> soreau all I want is a way to share files across a local network, accessible to another OS LIKE WINxp
[19:53] <soreau> ! samba | hidnshadows
[19:53] <ActionParsnip> zoite: install unp and you can extract nearly anything
[19:53] <zoite> can 7zip undo a tar.jayz
[19:53] <gsfai> denile, nope
[19:54] <hidnshadows> zoite get 7zip, and try renaming the file to [filename].tar.gz, if it can open it it will
[19:54] <zoite> ok thx
[19:54] <Pici> zoite: The built in file-roller application can do that. Just right click and select extract here.  Alternatively, via  a terminal: tar xzvf file.tar.gz
[19:54] <ActionParsnip> zoite: do you mean tar.bzip2
[19:54] <denile> sacarlson, any ideas at all about gsfai's issues?
[19:54] <zoite> yes sorry
[19:54] <gsfai> give up? lol
[19:55] <metalfan_> hi
[19:55] <abhijeet> ActionParsnip, i made a mistake in the grub.. after correcting it splash screen worked fine.. thanks for the link
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> zoite: you can extract bzip2 already, just run: tar -jxvf filename   and it will extract
[19:55] <metalfan_> my ubuntu 10.10 feels sluggish while moving 1gb+ files around, totem cant play my music without stuttering?
[19:55] <zoite> ok
[19:55] <ActionParsnip> abhijeet: np bro, its a great link. I use it on all my systems regardless of video chip these days
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> zoite: or if you install unp, you can simply use that and it will see what type of file it is and extract it appropriately
[19:56] <highclasshole> ¿Cómo puedo instalar WinZip en Ubunto?
[19:56] <zoite> what is unp
[19:56] <abhijeet> ActionParsnip, that guy is a good hacker :) made our life easier
[19:56] <soreau> ! es | highclasshole
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> zoite: you should also installp7zip-rar p7zip-rar rar unrar    as well
[19:56] <highclasshole> I don't speak spanish
[19:56] <shcherbak> metalfan_: htop, free, iotop to monitor whats wrong.
[19:56] <ActionParsnip> abhijeet: i like hacks :)
[19:57] <leila> there is some problem in channel now? in italian channel of ubuntu redirection is used only in that situation
[19:57] <leila> ?
[19:57] <zoite> which one is better unp p7zip-rar or p7zip-rar-rar
[19:57] <Pici> leila: Yes.
[19:57] <ActionParsnip> zoite: grab them all, they are very small. They will also be used by file roller in nautilus so you can extract more types of archive
[19:57] <metalfan_> shentino, top says that load is about 4.  besides mv which eats 25% percent nothing else takes more than that
[19:57] <b0nghitter> why doesnt maverick desktop have minicom?
[19:58] <zoite> what is nautilus? do i need that too
[19:58] <extreme> hi
[19:58] <ActionParsnip> zoite: its the default file manager in ubuntu
[19:58] <zoite> oh k
[19:58] <extreme> i'm looking for some ati channel
[19:58] <asdas> useradd: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later. ?????????????????
[19:58] <Pici> b0nghitter: Its in the repositories.
[19:58] <forteller> Hi. I'd like to make a file that executes a command ("python [name of python file]"). Could anyone point me in the direction of a guide for newbs for doing this?
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> b0nghitter: it does, its in the universe repo
[19:59] <shcherbak> metalfan_: iotop? do you have any other io activity apart of mv?
[19:59] <soreau> b0nghitter: Its in universe repo
[19:59] <soreau> !info minicom
[19:59] <KM0201> !info minicom
[19:59] <KM0201> ;)
[19:59] <b0nghitter> ok cool thanks
[19:59] <ActionParsnip> forteller: if you add:   #!/bin/python   as the top line, and mark it as executable, you can then make a lancher to run the file as it will be seen as a binary
[20:00] <metalfan_> shcherbak, no...theres firefox, totem with a mp3, pidgin, nautilus   but they all idle, besides totem
[20:00] <nostro_> hey guys can someone tell me if 10.10 is suitable for touchsreen devices, such as tablet pcs?
[20:00] <zoite> ok i undid my file but i can't run it
[20:00] <zoite> it says ubuntu can run .NET what does this mean
[20:00] <forteller> ActionParsnip: I just add that line to the top of the .pyw file?
[20:00] <ActionParsnip> nostro_: sure, depends on the hardware
[20:00] <shcherbak> metalfan_: do you move between devices/partitions?
[20:01] <metalfan_> shcherbak, between devices
[20:01] <nostro_> ActionParsnip: have you seen it work, I can't seem to find any videos/records of someone actualy doing it
[20:01] <bismay> is there any channel for linux gaming
[20:02] <ActionParsnip> forteller: if it's python then add that top line and the interpretter will know its a python script
[20:02] <forteller> ActionParsnip: Ah, yes, it worked. Thanks a lot! :)
[20:02] <bismay> ActionParsnip, Can you suddest any vcahnel on linux gaming?
[20:02] <shcherbak> metalfan_: that may be problem, either usb, or device itself. It may be also too many mount of same device.
[20:03] <metalfan_> shcherbak, between two sata drives
[20:03] <bismay> ActionParsnip, Can you sugggest any channel on linux gaming?
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> nostro_: it depends on the hardware so 'a video' isnt really precise is it. touchpad on one make/model of system may work wereas it may not work on another make/model
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> bismay: why ask me?
[20:04] <nostro_> ActionParsnip: i understand that. but i still haven't seen anyone actually done it. I've seen chromeOS on an iPad, why not ubuntu on a cheap apad?
[20:04] <stenoknight> Hi. I've got a laptop (Lenovo SL400, if it matters), but I want to plug in a USB keyboard and put it on top of the laptop's built-in keyboard, for easy typing. Do you know if there's any way to disable the built-in keyboard so it doesn't register errant keystrokes while I'm typing on the USB laptop?
[20:04] <stenoknight> er, on the USB keyboard,
[20:04] <bismay> ActionParsnip, i thought you might know
[20:04] <stenoknight> not on the USB laptop, obviously.
[20:04] <shcherbak> metalfan_: check mv "inside" both sata, also if both have more that one partiton, you would check if one of them is much slower, or is it connection.
[20:05] <smoothify> i've upgraded to 10.10 and trying to upgrade netbeans - it says missing /usr/share/netbeans/6.9/etc/netbeans.import
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> nostro_: check http://ubuntuhcl.org to see if youor particular device is known to work well
[20:05] <soreau> stenoknight: Check the bios?
[20:05] <ZykoticK9> bismay, doubt there is a linux-gaming channel, not really an area where linux excels I'm affraid.  Best of luck - for instructions on games i have installed see http://sites.google.com/site/alucidfs/gaming
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> bismay: list the server channels, and it may show something obvious
[20:05] <nostro_> ActionParsnip: thx for the tip
[20:05] <metalfan_> shcherbak, "check my "inside" both sata ?
[20:05] <metalfan_> mv
[20:05] <pp03gModem> so I am trying to get ip6 working over my 3g modem, obviously not working, I have no idea on how to attack this problem. Idea anyone?
[20:05] <metalfan_> ah now it get it
[20:06] <b0nghitter> i checked universe in synaptic repos, and reloaded.. but minicom is still not there
[20:06] <metalfan_> shcherbak, will disconnect the second drive later...
[20:06] <soreau> pp03gModem: What isnt working about it?
[20:06] <shcherbak> metalfan_: move file between partition of same hard drive.
[20:06] <Dr_Willis_> !find minicom
[20:06] <KM0201> b0nghitter: did you reload your source list after checking universe?
[20:06] <Dr_Willis_> !info minicom
[20:06] <bismay> ActionParsnip, thanks
[20:06] <pp03gModem> soreau: Well, when I do ping6 ipv6.google.com it just times out.
[20:06] <b0nghitter> KM0201: yes i said i reloaded
[20:06] <bismay> ActionParsnip, what is the command to list all the channels?
[20:06] <shcherbak> metalfan_: or use usb-drive and compare times of copy to sata1 and sata2
[20:07] <wizardslovak> hello people
[20:07] <KM0201> b0nghitter: then you did something else wrong.. cuz its there
[20:07] <soreau> pp03gModem: Maybe try #networking
[20:07] <wizardslovak> any script i can setup cpu fan rpms
[20:07] <sacarlson> gsfai: I read this article that sounded like yours that seems they worked on for a year,  the fix was install a different operating system http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=5tsip3umr7q02aq700ij1rm531&topic=65388.30,  so maybe try an older ubuntu and see if it persists
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> bismay: not sure, your client should have a list channels ability
[20:07] <b0nghitter> i had to restart synaptic
[20:07] <pp03gModem> soreau: kk, thnx.
[20:07] <VCoolio> wizardslovak: no settings in bios for what you need?
[20:08] <wizardslovak> VCoolio, not for fan speed
[20:08] <shcherbak> bismay: you do not want to list +5k channels, do you? check freenode web site
[20:08] <wizardslovak> i did disables cool and quiet
[20:09] <Incarus> hey. glxgears shows me a refresh rate of ~60 with NVIDIAs proprietary drivers, while i have a framerate of ~400 with the nouveau driver. is a framerate of ~60 normal?
[20:09] <Dr_Willis_> wizardslovak:  it can depend on the exact make/model/motherboard of your system.
[20:09] <b0nghitter> is there a way i can VNC into my current desktop without having to create a new "display" ?
[20:09] <soreau> Incarus: glxgears is not a benchmark of any kind
[20:09] <gsfai> sacarlson, ill try this :) thanks
[20:09] <rooisto47> hi everyone, is there any dwm user, I wanna know where one have to put dwm scripts (like the monitors' script to display the battery state on the dwm bar for example) ?
[20:09] <Dr_Willis_> Incarus:  could be vsync is enabled. (or whatever that sync to refresh rate is called)
[20:10] <wizardslovak> Dr_Willis_, if ill post it here can u helkp me?
[20:10] <sacarlson> Incarus: wow 400,  I should dump my propraitary nvidia then?
[20:10] <Dr_Willis_> wizardslovak:  all i can say is check the forums.
[20:10] <wizardslovak> when i check it runs at 1300 rpm but is able of 4k
[20:10] <wizardslovak> i checked
[20:10] <Incarus> Dr_Willis_: correct
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> Incarus: what video chip?
[20:10] <wizardslovak> they got for windows so i am sure there is one for ubuntu
[20:10] <sacarlson> gsfai: seem we looked at everything,  maybe it's a kernel bug?
[20:10] <Dr_Willis_> Incarus:  so with sync enabled. that would limit the fps.
[20:10] <Incarus> ActionParsnip, Nvidia GT220
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> Incarus: and what version of the driver did you install?
[20:11] <VCoolio> wizardslovak: see if this helps https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fan_speed_control
[20:11] <Incarus> Dr_Willis_, without any effects on me?
[20:12] <Incarus> ActionPArsnip, latest.  260.19.29
[20:12] <Dr_Willis_> Incarus:  the point of vsyncing is to reduce video tearing/artifcats  i belive
[20:13] <zs1otb> hi there, I seem to have lost my sound icon on the task bar, any help how to get it back?
[20:13] <wizardslovak> VCoolio, yea i tried that one
[20:13] <sacarlson> incarus: if it means anything standard NTSC video is 60 fps, so I guess it's fast enuf
[20:14] <Dr_Willis_> Incarus:  'sync to vblank' is the setting in the nvida settings tool i am thinking of.
[20:14] <wizardslovak> in /usr/sbin/fancontrol u cant actually settup rpms tho
[20:14] <soreau> Incarus: Basically it looks like vsync is enabled with the proprietary driver which means the framerate should e roughly that of the refresh rate. Without vsync, the fps is unlimited but you could see more tearing
[20:14] <zs1otb> hi there, I seem to have lost my sound icon on the task bar, any help how to get it back?
[20:14] <KaiForce> does ubuntu have tools to determine the health of an SSD?
[20:15] <VCoolio> wizardslovak: read on, it says to use pwmconfig to edit /etc/fancontrol, never did that myself though
[20:15] <Spreadsheet> Does Ubuntu have Ruby preinstalled?
[20:15] <soreau> Incarus: Instead of looking at glxgears, try a real world test like a 3D game
[20:15] <Spreadsheet> Or has this been proposed?
[20:15] <Spreadsheet> If this proposal has been raised before, why has it been turned down?
[20:15] <sacarlson> KaiForce: if it was a smart drive I guess it could
[20:15] <soreau> zs1otb: Add notification area to gnome-panel
[20:15] <Dr_Willis_> Spreadsheet:  seems installed here.. i dont recall installing it.. but it may have gotten pulled in by somthing else.
[20:16] <Dr_Willis_> Spreadsheet:  buiggest reason stuff not isntaled by default = Limited size of a cdrom.
[20:16] <Incarus> soreau, thats all i wanted to know, was just uncertain about the high framerate with nouveau. Nouveu use partially software rendering, so that frame rate wouldnt be so high.
[20:16] <Spreadsheet> Oh come on Ruby can't be that much space :P
[20:16] <Spreadsheet> You have Perl and Python already
[20:17] <zs1otb> soreau: I've done it but still no little speaker icon?
[20:17] <KaiForce> sacarlson: i tried smart but it didn't seem to understand the output from the drive
[20:17] <Dr_Willis_> Spreadsheet:  dosent matter.. the cd's are packed full as it is..
[20:17] <soreau> Incarus: nouveau has some paths that are not accelerated but I doubt glxgears hits any of them. glxgears is more of a sanity test like mesa-demo apps
[20:17] <Spreadsheet> I see
[20:17] <nicofs> I've got two sound cards... where to i tell my pc to which the audio signal shall go? (xubuntu)
[20:17] <sacarlson> KaiForce: not all drives have smart support
[20:17] <Dr_Willis_> Spreadsheet:  and many system tools use perl and python.  ive not seen any that use ruby
[20:17] <Spreadsheet> Dr_Willis_: because it's not as widespread because it's not installed by default
[20:18] <Dr_Willis_> Spreadsheet:  doubtfull..  its trivial to install later also.
[20:18] <Incarus> soreau. yep, thank you.
[20:18] <zs1otb> soreau: It was there just before I restarted my machine and now it is gone....
[20:19] <soreau> zs1otb: Try restarting your panel?
[20:19] <zs1otb> ok now i am stupid how do I restart the panel?
[20:19] <denile> gsfai, what's in ~/.gvfs/ ?
[20:19] <dagni> denile: fuck you ;)
[20:19] <soreau> ! resetpanel | zs1otb
[20:19] <tiyg> thanks for asking; u beat me to asking about starting the panel.  Seriously
[20:19] <soreau> ! language | dagni
[20:20] <KaiForce> sacarlson: understood but would smart say "no smart support" or something like that or would it output something anyway?
[20:20] <ZykoticK9> zs1otb, did you remove Pulse Audio from your system?    Only enquiring if the poster had.
[20:21] <Dr_Willis_> dagni:  go somewhere else.. its not a support question.
[20:21] <Dr_Willis_> ZykoticK9:  :)
[20:21] <Guest541> so is Anybody: it imosible to get ubuntu music store to work in 9.10
[20:21] <gsfai> denile, i also have a new bug
[20:21] <gsfai> called dangi
[20:22] <gsfai> how can i send it in /dev/null?
[20:22] <soreau> Jordan_U: thanks
[20:22] <gsfai> denile, anyway, nothing in .gvfs
[20:22] <Dr_Willis_> Guest541:  the people in #ubuntuone may know.   The music store copies the music to your ubuntu one account i thought. You can then access/download it from any os i think.
[20:22] <piyushmishra> can anyone explain me a regular expression placeholder in gedit snippet?
[20:22] <gsfai> actually, there is no such folder,
[20:22] <piyushmishra> http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/Plugins/Snippets
[20:23] <rooisto47> no one knows where I have to put DWM scripts (for example monitors' script to show my battery state, or time/date...)
[20:23] <rooisto47> ?
[20:24] <soreau> zs1otb: Please keep it in here
[20:24] <zs1otb> ok
[20:24] <Dr_Willis_> rooisto47:  you checked the dwm docs/homepage?
[20:25] <Dr_Willis_> !info dwm
[20:25] <stenoknight> Heya. I was in here a few minutes ago, asking how to disable my laptop's keyboard so I could put a USB keyboard on top of it without accidentally registering keystrokes from the built-in keyboard. Someone suggested trying to disable it in BIOS, but unfortunately the only keyboard options there have to do with Numlock and Function lock; nothing about disabling the built-in keyboard.
[20:25] <peter22222> I need to test quickly webpages, Is any way to run Apache+php and run sites by <IP_ADDRESS>/~my_dir or I must configure virtualhost to every webpage?
[20:25] <stenoknight> Just checking back here one more time in case anyone has any other ideas.
[20:26] <exxtreme> which folder is meant to have libflashplayer.so   so that firefox runs flash??
[20:26] <rooisto47> Dr_Willis_, yes I checked them you they don't tell where one have to put those scripts !
[20:26] <Dr_Willis_> stenoknight:  one complex way would be to set teh xorg.conf to read from only one /dev/input/XXX device.. and not both.. but im not even sure how that would be doable. or changeable back very easialy
[20:26] <nicofs> I just plugged in an external USB sound card. How to I tell my PC to use that as standard output?
[20:26] <stenoknight> Dr_Willis_: Yeah, that might be a bit over my head. I'm an Ubuntu n00b.
[20:26] <Gartral> I can't get ubuntu-one to syncronize with the cloud server, it says i have no internet connection
[20:27] <stenoknight> Oh well. Thanks for the thought, though!
[20:27] <Dr_Willis_> stenoknight:  get a bit of plywood. glue some spacers under it.. so it dont touch your keys. :)
[20:27] <tiyg> peter, can't you just setup a virtualhost and mount it?
[20:27] <Dr_Willis_> stenoknight:  or i made a 'shelf' that sat right above the  keybord on a brokenlaptop. i couls set a keyboard on.
[20:27] <tiyg> just a basic suggestion I know.
[20:27] <swapnil> hi...
[20:27] <stenoknight> Dr_Willis_: Hahaha! Unfortunately this needs to be reversible; I want to use a steno-compatible keyboard on the subway, but I need to be able to break it down and put it all away in my backpack afterwards.
[20:28] <Dr_Willis_> stenoknight:  i dont even know what a setno compat keyboard is. :)
[20:28] <soreau> stenoknight: You could still engineer a clever clip shelf
[20:28] <stenoknight> If there were a laptop that offered n-key rollover, I would pay big, big bucks for it, but such a thing apparently doesn't exist.
[20:28] <grigoriades> how to open .bin files???
[20:28] <christen> The folder under "Places" won't open when clicked.
[20:28] <Dr_Willis_> grigoriades:  you can 'run' one by 'sh whatever.bin'  - or chmod +x whatever.bin   then ./whage4er.bin
[20:28] <stenoknight> A steno compatible keyboard is any keyboard with true n-key rollover. I use a Microsoft SideWinder X4, because it only costs $45. http://plover.stenoknight.com/
[20:29] <Dr_Willis_> grigoriades:  what is this bin supposed to be anyway?
[20:29] <bluezone> nicofs, humm, i think you must use aplay 1 sec
[20:29] <peter22222> tiyg: I do it now but settings up virtualhost every time for quick tests is non comfortable
[20:29]  * Dr_Willis_ sticks with his 10lb OLD OLD OLD clicky IBM keyboard.
[20:29] <peter22222> I prefer to run directory by <IP_ADDRESS>/~dir_name
[20:29] <nicofs> bluezone, that means what exactly?
[20:29] <tiyg> ok. been a while since I did site work.
[20:30] <stenoknight> Clicky is good. ('8
[20:30] <soapcontainer> I am having problems installing Steam on Wine (on ubuntu 10.10), it is saying that the MSI file I download is not an executable.
[20:30] <stenoknight> Anyway, thanks, all. I guess I'd better get back to this transcription job.
[20:30] <bluezone> nicofs, hmmm
[20:30] <Dr_Willis_> soapcontainer:  check the wine app datbase. you have to give wine some option to run the msi i recall.
[20:30] <denile> Anyone with more experience than me have any ideas about gsfai's issue?
[20:30] <Dr_Willis_> soapcontainer:  dont just double click on the msi. I dont think that works
[20:30] <soapcontainer> Dr_Willis: will do, thank you
[20:30] <nostro_> hey guys, did anyone catch some news on canonical developing a TABLET ubuntu?
[20:31] <Dr_Willis_> soapcontainer:  i always have to go look it up every time i reinstall steam
[20:31] <Dr_Willis_> nostro_:  seen some postings on it.. i will wait for things to get released befor i get excited.
[20:32] <tiyg> .. released and tested a gazillion times.
[20:32] <rooisto47> Dr_Willis_, any idea plz !
[20:32] <sacarlson> denile: I wonder how big the disk is?  if he dd the entire disk to a file he could send it to us to look at, but at this point I'm out of ideas
[20:32] <bluezone> nostro_, sorry waht exactly was your problem with the usb soundcard
[20:33] <christen> The folders ("home folder," "computer" etc.) under "Places" on the custom menu panel doesn't seem to open. Help?
[20:33] <denile> sacarlson, Disk /dev/sda: 120.0 GB lol
[20:33] <soreau> christen: Do you have nautilus installed?
[20:33] <nostro_> bluezone: wasn't me asking about he soundcard
[20:33] <shcherbak> sacarlson: ssh party in gsfai?
[20:34] <christen> hmm.let me check
[20:34] <nostro_> i'm asking about tabletpc support. any news?
[20:34] <sacarlson> denile: well I do come up with some stupid idea's and that was one of many of them
[20:34] <michaelgamble> anyone know if thier is anything like tortoise svn for Gnome?
[20:34] <Jordan_U> For some reason gnome-terminal has become a defunct process, even though its parent is init. How can I determine what has happened and preferably get rid of the defunct process without rebooting?
[20:35] <sacarlson> shcherbak: ya I guess that a posibility
[20:35] <soreau> Jordan_U: What have you done to your poor terminal? ;)
[20:35] <bluezone> nicofs, oh
[20:35] <christen> nautilus scripts manager?
[20:35] <christen> install that?
[20:35] <bluezone> nicofs, first of all is your soundcard detected with aplay -l
[20:36] <sacarlson> denile: I missed the part when he tried to mound /dev/sda5  did that work?
[20:36] <soreau> christen: Open a terminal and type nautilus then press enter and see what happens
[20:36] <michaelgamble> if not whats your favorite gnome svn client
[20:36] <christen> okay
[20:36] <bluezone> nicofs, your usb soundcard that is
[20:36] <denile> sacarlson, no. he restarted the usb live and still same issues also
[20:37] <bluezone> nicofs, are you there?
[20:37] <christen> okay, it opened the "home folder"?
[20:37] <christen> what next?
[20:37] <sacarlson> denile: the issue I know he had was with /dev/sda1   is it also imposible to mount /dev/sda5?
[20:37] <soreau> christen: That means nautilus is installed so the Places entries should work
[20:37] <christen> okay
[20:37] <ActionParsnip> michaelgamble: why not use svn in terminal?
[20:38] <soreau> christen: If not try running killall gnome-panel to restart the panel
[20:38] <bluezone> nicofs, i am having a similar issue but ill find the solution, sec
[20:38] <denile> sacarlson, from his fdisk sda is swap
[20:38] <denile> sda5*
[20:39] <christen> I tried to open my folders under the places menu but it still won't open. I'll try running killall gnome panel
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> !resetpanel
[20:39] <aeon-ltd> christen: thats more likely to be nautilus related
[20:40] <cheleon> hola
[20:41] <cheleon> hay algun español?
[20:41] <soreau> ! es | cheleon
[20:41] <bluezone> nicofs brought up a good point, how to do you aplay to set a usb sound card as the default audio output
[20:41] <christen> Okay, I have no idea what I'm doing.
[20:41] <christen> hint me?
[20:41] <christen> go into terminal? to download something?
[20:41] <rrreimer> how and where do I append the ntpasswd image in the line ".linux rescuecd initrd=initram.igz" exactly running a live cd? everything I tried didn't work
[20:41] <denile> gsfai, swapon -s
[20:42] <Gartral> christen, yes, with apt-get
[20:42] <soreau> christen: I dont know why it isnt working.. what did you do that broke it?
[20:42] <christen> I have no idea. It worked for a while
[20:42] <Dr_Willis_> when in doubt  'reboot' :)
[20:42] <gsfai> denile, done!
[20:42] <christen> and then one day i went to open my files from the places tab and it just took forever and then never opened.
[20:42] <christen> =[
[20:42] <denile> gsfai, command done? or you fixed it?
[20:42] <gsfai> denile, command
[20:42] <rrreimer> Dr_Willis_ that wasn't for me, was it?
[20:42] <gsfai> sadly :P
[20:42] <denile> gsfai, list nothing?
[20:42] <Dr_Willis_> christen:  you could alwyas try running nautilus from a terminal.
[20:43] <thefinn931> I have a 1TB (external) hard drive, but it's only reporting 870GB available. I remember reading somewhere some command to make ext not take up a bunch of extra space... anyone know what it is?
[20:43] <Dr_Willis_> rrreimer:  general advice. :) from the windows world.
[20:43] <gsfai> says "/dev/sda5 partition 2981988 0 -1"
[20:43] <soreau> Dr_Willis_: I had him run nautilus and it works
[20:43] <Dr_Willis_> soreau:  could be the default file assouication for nautilus got changed.
[20:43] <rrreimer> Dr_Willis I'm running a _linux_ live cd
[20:43] <smw> thefinn931, 1 TB does not always mean 1 TB. That sounds about the right size
[20:43] <soreau> Dr_Willis_: He says Places entries do not work
[20:44] <Stefanos90> hello, i have a computer 133Hz and 16MB ram wich linux destribution should i use?
[20:44] <soreau> christen: Try this: Drag a Places entry to your panel, then right click on it and select properties to see what the Command is
[20:44] <smw> Stefanos90, what do you plan to do with it?
[20:44] <soreau> christen: And run that command in your terminal to make sure it works
[20:44] <thefinn931> smw: oh ok. thx
[20:44] <bluezone> how do you use "aplay" to detect a usb soundcard and set it as a default output source?
[20:44] <tiyg> stefano, do some research on xubuntu
[20:44] <smw> Stefanos90, it certainly will not work as a desktop
[20:44] <Dr_Willis_> soreau:  double clicking on a folder works?
just open the system.. it has windows 95 inside
[20:45] <soreau> Dr_Willis_: You would have to ask him
[20:45] <rrreimer> it says I should type in ntpasswd and push enter, but then I come back to the default boot page
[20:45] <smw> Stefanos90, I think DSL and the smaller ones need at least 64MB.
[20:45] <denile> gsfai, swapoff -a
[20:45] <tiyg> it's for older machines(xubuntu)
[20:45] <gsfai> denile, done!
[20:45] <denile> gsfai, then try e2fsck just for giggles on /dev/sda1
i can use live cd.. won't puppy run?
[20:46] <gsfai> filesystem exclusively opened by another program
[20:46] <denile> arg
[20:46] <smw> Stefanos90, I do not know about puppy. DSL-N should work
[20:46] <hariykeyboard> is ubuntu's usb startup disk creator able to work with any disk image, or just those based on ubuntu?  I'm trying to write a fedora disk image but the program won't recognize the iso, but will recognize kubuntu or the netbook remix of ubuntu
[20:46] <campbellgolf> can I run Openvpn-as (openvpn active server) from Ubuntu 10.10 desktop?
[20:46] <denile> gsfai, go ahead and swapon -a so you back where you where
[20:46] <ZykoticK9> hariykeyboard, just ubuntu i believe
[20:47] <Jordan_U> hariykeyboard: Try unetbootin.
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> hariykeyboard: should work with any linux ISO
 will try
[20:47] <ohir> Stefanos90: for small ram machines you may use either tinycore (should run on 32M with X) or OpenWRT (console works from 4M)
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> hariykeyboard: unetbootin can also use different disto ISOs
[20:48] <dean> dean
[20:48] <smw> Stefanos90, I guess DSL would work. You just can't use X
[20:48] <Dr_Willis_> Stefanos90:  theres tiny-core-linux also
[20:48] <ohir> Stefanos90: puppy needs some 256M to run smoothly
[20:48] <Guest23489> hiii
[20:48] <christen> i dont think this works...
[20:48] <bluezone> how do you use "aplay" to detect a usb soundcard and set it as a default output source?
[20:49] <smw> Stefanos90, all cmd line. You would have more options if you doubled your ram (32MB).
[20:49] <sacarlson> gsfai: I just went back in history here on this irc page to 01:41:28 AM and didn't see if you could mount /dev/sda5, can you?
[20:49] <gsfai> how would you mount a swap?
[20:49] <ohir> Stefanos90: with 16M your best bet is tinycore.
[20:50] <Dr_Willis_> gsfai:  you use the swapon command..  not mounting it..
[20:50] <sacarlson> gsfai: ok maybe that's why I didn't see it
[20:50] <Mo___> Hello
[20:50] <gsfai> Dr_Willis_, i know, but thanks :)
[20:50] <Mo___> I need some help with my ubuntu installation.
will try  tiny-core-linux if i found some more ram will use dsl
[20:50] <gsfai> Mo___, describe your problem/question
[20:51] <gsfai> ok
[20:51] <Dr_Willis_> Stefanos90:  you can always make a swap partition.
[20:51] <gsfai> 1 second late
[20:51] <chipgeri> i am trying to upgarade from 10.04 to 10.10 but getting this error "W:Failed to fetch http://ubuntu.qualitynet.net/ubuntu/dists/maverick/universe/binary-i386/Packages.bz2  Sub-process /bin/bzip2 returned an error code (2)"
 yes.. i have 1 GB hdd
[20:52] <denile> gsfai, what does file -sL /dev/sda1 show
[20:52] <dob_> hello guys, i want to create a energy saving system. I want to create a raid5 for my videopartition. But i am not sure which raid level i should use for my system partiotions. I think i should not have a raid for the logs to let the hdd's sleep as long as possible....
[20:52] <Dr_Willis_> Stefanos90:  so make a 256mb swap perhaps.
yes now downloading. thank you for help
[20:54] <christen> Is there anything else I should install/update for other than nautilus for the problem with not being able to open my folders from the places tab?
[20:54] <Sawerpower99> I need help with my installation of ubuntu. Any help?
[20:54] <christen> I installed nautilus in terminal.
[20:54] <Sawerpower99> This is so confusing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[20:54] <soreau> ! help | Sawerpower99
[20:55] <Dr_Willis_> Sawerpower99:  you couel state the problem you are haveing.. using less then 2 !'s
[20:55] <Sawerpower99> My Dell inspriron 1100 is not installing ubuntu for some reason. It won't do anything once I press forward!
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> Sawerpower99: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[20:56] <smoke_> hello man
[20:56] <soreau> Sawerpower99: When you booted that disk, did you do an image check?
[20:56] <Sawerpower99> I really don't know, I just downloaded it from ubuntu.com
[20:56] <soreau> Sawerpower99: When you first boot it, press Esc then select Verify Disk Integrity
[20:56] <Sawerpower99> How do I do those tests?
[20:56] <soreau> or whatever its called
dsl-n is booting from floopy?
[20:56] <newser> this might be  a silly question but Im stuck right now :( I made a script in python and run it but it went into an infinite loop because i made a mistake in a variable but I do not know how to stop the execution from terminal. I pressed ctrl+c but nothing. Any suggestions?
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | Sawerpower99
[20:57] <soreau> newser: Get to another terminal and killall python
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> Sawerpower99: currently you have no idea if the image or CD you are using is good as you have failed to test them...
[20:57] <soreau> newser: or ps ax|grep <script name> and kill $PID
[20:57] <censoredbiscuit_> Anyone here use ubuntu one?
[20:57] <tiyg> newser, try ctl+z?
[20:58] <Dr_Willis_> Stefanos90:  no idea. i dont use it.
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | censoredbiscuit
[20:58] <burntburito> Nope no help on #ubuntuone
[20:58] <smoke_> alguien que hable español ?
[20:58] <newser> soreau, I stopped from another terminal thanks
[20:58] <newser> smoke_, yo
[20:58] <smoke_> de donde eres man

[20:59] <newser> smoke_puedes solicitar ayuda en ubuntu-es, ese es el canal de ayuda oficial en espanol
[20:59] <smoke_> ok men
[20:59] <smoke_> this is a great shitt xD
[20:59] <burntburito> I cant upgrade to 10.04 because of my vid card so i guess im out in the cold
[20:59] <ramon> Any experiences about good virtualization under 10.04 LTS?
[20:59] <omar> censoredbiscuit i use it whats up
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> burntburito: what video chip?
[20:59] <Dr_Willis_> burntburito:  what video card?
[20:59] <ramon> My experience with qemu/kvm has been so far quote bad.
[20:59] <tf87> Hi, what package do I install to have the program /usr/bin/freeze ? ( compression utility for .F files )
[21:00] <Dr_Willis_> !find freeze
[21:00] <Dr_Willis_> tf87:  try just 'freeze' in a terminal. it may tell you
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> tf87: try:  dpkg -S freeze
[21:00] <burntburito> ati but thts not the problem the problem is the psu my card sucks to muc juice
 is quick on the draw..
[21:01] <burntburito> i cant aford to buy a new psu
[21:01] <burntburito> not yet
[21:01] <MrKotter> burtburito...pull it apart and re-arange it
[21:01] <Dr_Willis_> I dotn see how differnt os versions would draw more power....
[21:01] <wyclif> burntburito: PSUs are much cheaper than video cards.
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> burntburito: then remove the proprietary driver and upgrade, then install the proprietary driver
[21:02] <ssy> Hello and sorry but can you say me the name of the german ubuntu support channel ? thanks in advance
[21:02] <ActionParsnip> !de
[21:02] <BernardV> MrKotter: burntburito Rearanging only works if you have more then one 12V rail in the PSU, some only offer one big rail, then it has no use.
[21:02] <wyclif> ssy: #ubuntu-de
[21:03] <burntburito> i like the card lots of horse power but belive me its the psu, i know psus re cheaper but im straped for cash
[21:03] <Pweg> it wouldn't make sense for it to work now and be an issue after an os upgrade
[21:03] <christen> Should i reboot my computer with ubuntu, if the places folder still doesnt open?
[21:03] <burntburito> my card has to be pluged into the psu
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> christen: does nautilus work if you press ALT+F2 and run: nautilus
[21:04] <Pweg> indeed, as with most cards
[21:04] <racines> I've got a file called: "VMware-Player-3.1.3-324285.i386.bundle" and it has a lock symbol on it so I can't do anything to it. How do I get rid of the lock icon?
[21:04] <BernardV> burntburito: Yeah, but like MrKotter said. If you have more then 1 12V rail in the PSU, you could use one rail for the GPU and the rest for harddisk, dvd etc
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> christen: check what is discussed here: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1631961
[21:04] <christen> by does it work, do you mean does it open up my home folder?
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> !vmware | racines
[21:05] <BernardV> burntburito: And if you are lucky there is a sticker on the PSU telling you how many rails you have and how many power the rails can give, can differ per rail
[21:05] <denile> gsfai, try this for me.   dumpe2fs /dev/sda1 | grep –i superblock
[21:05] <goddard> whats the right way to add a user to the apache home directory?
[21:05] <racines> Why does it give me instructions for installing VMWare if it sais it can't be installed on Ubuntu?
[21:05] <sawerpower99> I am back. The software says there is no driver for unity. What should I do?
[21:05] <burntburito> i never had anyproblems untill after i installed this new card
[21:05] <Dr_Willis_> racines:  it doswent say it Cant be installed.. its not in the repos...
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> racines: its just not in the repos, it is installable but takes more effort
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> racines: if you read what it actually says, it says it "is not available in the Ubuntu repositories", thats all
[21:06] <tosse> is there a way to set pulseaudio to output on both analogue and hdmi?
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> racines: read wat it says, rather than what you think it says
[21:06] <gsfai> denile, want a pastebin?
[21:07] <denile> gsfai, yes please,
[21:07] <racines> Okay but that's not what I'm asking. There is a "lock" icon on the file I wish to do things with. How do I take the lock icon off?
[21:07] <goddard> whats the right way to add a user to the apache home directory?
[21:07] <ZykoticK9> !paste | gsfai
[21:07] <racines> It is a ".bundle" file btw
[21:07] <Gnea> racines: it says it's not available in the respositories, it doesn't say it's not possible to install it.
[21:07] <burntburito> lots of hp though
[21:07] <racines> yes yes okay but how do I get the lock icon off of the file?
[21:08] <Gnea> racines: change the permissions of the file
[21:08] <gsfai[blap]> http://gsfai.pastebin.com/SAewKbGBn
[21:08] <nirazio> Some Ubuntu-versions ago, there was a Popup that showed up while changing the brightness on my Asus V6V with FN+Key. It has been gone since (I guess) 9.04. When changing the Audio-Volume, I still have such a thing...Any idea??
[21:08] <christen> ActionParsnip: Thanks a lot for the thread/forum. I think it works now!
[21:08] <christen> awesome!
[21:08] <gsfai> damn, http://gsfai.pastebin.com/SAewKbGBn
[21:08] <Gnea> !permissions | racines
[21:08] <gsfai> i dont know how that control character got there
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> racines: file extensions dont mean much in linux
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> christen: np bro
[21:09] <gsfai> denile, http://gsfai.pastebin.com/SAewKbGB
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> racines: the lock on the file means its probably owned by root
[21:10] <racines> I'm still unclear on how to get it off. I've tried using sudo but that didn't work.
[21:10] <racines> I can't chmod it
[21:10] <racines> the terminal can't even find the file, even though it's right there on the desktop. I guess that's because it has a lock symbol on it
[21:10] <denile> gsfai, fsck -b 32768 /dev/sda1     or any of the other backup superblocks
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> racines: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Player
[21:11] <gsfai> device or resource busy :(
[21:11] <denile> gsfai, I'm not sure man. I am out of my limited league i think :(
[21:11] <racines> thanks
[21:12] <gsfai> denile, me too :(
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> racines: that link was on the page ubottu gave
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> racines: I suggest you use virtualbox, it has a pretty gui and you can configure stuff with mouse
[21:13] <presley> HEY! is it some console tool that makes list of passwords from charset and charnumber parameters?
[21:13] <Dr_Willis_> presley:  i recall seeing password generator programs befor. (never needed to use them)
 i don't understand you
[21:15] <ubuntu> I don't know how I managed to get into an  IRC chat room
[21:15] <ubuntu> But I'm here :S
[21:15] <KM0201> presley: there's programs that do it.. but there's alsoa lot of websites that do password generating.
[21:15] <sacarlson> gsfai: I found another article that looks like your problem is in the kernel http://us.generation-nt.com/bug-523761-linux-image-2-6-29-1-amd64-boot-partition-not-mountable-help-168821561.html
[21:15] <ubuntu> bloody hard!
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: most default to this channel on this server, making it very simple
[21:15] <Dr_Willis_> ubuntu:  most of the irc clients are set to auto join here...
[21:16] <Dr_Willis_> :)
[21:16] <burntburito> you goto love ubuntu "bunt"
[21:16] <BernardV> presley: Maybe take a look at "makepasswd" it's in de repos
[21:16] <goddard> i gave write permissions to the group of the www directory which i made www-data and then added my user to the group that it says already exists btw and it still wont let me write file to directory using SFTP
[21:17] <ubuntu> Right so. say I would want to connect to a channel called 'TWiT' how do I go about doing that. THe program I'm using is called Xchat
[21:17] <sacarlson> gsfai: you need to install one of your older iso files on that usb flash live boot disk
[21:17] <Dr_Willis_> ubuntu:  /join #channelname
[21:17] <Dr_Willis_> ubuntu:  you may want to check out the irc clients docs/help menu items also..
[21:17] <Dr_Willis_> !irc | ubuntu
[21:17] <gsfai> sacarlson, i found a copy of gparted iso in my old backup
[21:17] <gsfai> ill use that
[21:17] <presley> BernardV, i tried this, i need program to do a uniq list of passwords
[21:18] <BernardV> presley: for example: makepasswd --char=10 --string=abcd will create a 10 char long passwd with only a,b,c or d as char
[21:18] <ubuntu> ohh thank you! :)
[21:18] <ubuntu> Nice helpful people :D
[21:18] <sacarlson> gsfai: cool
[21:19] <presley> BernardV but it could be same passwords
[21:19] <burntburito> when ubunto works it works solid ,but the fact that its alwase getting better causes problems sometimes but i cant rea
[21:19] <goddard> is ubuntu server still using php5.2?
[21:19] <Dr_Willis_> !info php5
[21:19] <presley> with repeats
[21:19] <burntburito> ally complain
[21:19] <Dr_Willis_> goddard:  looks like 10.10 uses 5.3.3
[21:20] <goddard> ok
[21:20] <Dr_Willis_> goddard:  if im reading that correctly.
[21:20] <BernardV> presley: Ah ok.. create a script that generates a few random numbers, sha1 that, take random chars out of the hash (passwd length), insert them in a db and do a SELECT DISTINCT :)
[21:21] <goddard> Dr_Willis_ i think thats right i just have a server but it must be a custom installation
 thanks for idea, but i could be difficult for me i think
[21:23] <KM0201> presley: there's lots of websites that create random passwords.
[21:23] <KM0201> youre making this more difficult than need be
[21:23] <Dr_Willis_> place cat on keyboard.. give cat catnip....
[21:23] <Dr_Willis_> random passwords.. :)
[21:24] <KM0201> Dr_Willis_: yeah, that would work to.. or take a cat, and run a red laser over your keyboard.. that i'll give you some random passwords
[21:24] <Dr_Willis_> cat /dev/random | some code to convert #'s to ascii.. :)
[21:25] <presley> KM0201, Dr_Willis_, point is that i need a list for bruteforce, and this is not that i'm looking for
[21:25] <KM0201> presley: well, good luck w/ it.
[21:25] <guntbert> presley: you won't get such a list here
[21:25] <Dr_Willis_> presley:  you wouldent want a random list for bruteforce anyway id imagine..
[21:26] <Dr_Willis_> http://paulbradley.tv/30/   perl random password generator.
[21:26] <presley> Dr_Willis_, m?
[21:27] <Dr_Willis_> would someone offhand know if a 'arm' based linux disrto would be able to run 'wine' ?
[21:28] <Cheleon> español
[21:28] <Dr_Willis_> !es
[21:28] <XiaolinDraconis> Dr_Willis_, sounds doubtable
[21:29] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis_, re: arm - highly doubt it.
[21:29] <M8R0> why you want to run win e on arm linux, when you have windoze mobile
[21:29] <M8R0> ?
[21:29] <Dr_Willis_> XiaolinDraconis:  just seeing these new netbook/tablets. and was wondering thast.
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis_: if you can compile it, sure why not :)
[21:29] <Dr_Willis_> M8R0:  because the wife has ONE little windows game she likes..  and last i cheecked windows cd/mobil couldent run  normal windows apps.
[21:29] <hypmed> hi there - i'm having trouble afer 10.04 network upgrade - following re-boot, networking is broken with no gnome network manager - and wired network not working either - any advice?
[21:29] <Dr_Willis_> ActionParsnip:  thats what i was wondering.
[21:30] <ZykoticK9> Dr_Willis_, it's being ported see http://wiki.winehq.org/ARM
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis_: i'd ask the wine guys to see if it will make
[21:30] <XiaolinDraconis> i have a 512MB usb stick was wondering if anyone had any suggestions what i should boot on it
[21:30] <Dr_Willis_> ZykoticK9:  thats good then. :)
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> ooo, exciting
[21:30] <XiaolinDraconis> wanna make a bootable rescue stick
[21:30] <Dr_Willis_> XiaolinDraconis:  tiny core linux. :)
[21:30] <M8R0> you can try to see if if there is some sort of port started
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> hypmed: connect the wired connection and run:  sudo dhclient3 eth0
[21:30] <geeknik> Dr_Willis_: http://wiki.winehq.org/ARM
[21:30] <Dr_Willis_> XiaolinDraconis:  there was a ubuntu rescue variant i saw.. it was text based.
[21:30] <XiaolinDraconis> Dr_Willis_, ill look it up
[21:30] <geeknik> not sure how close they are to getting it finished/working/whatever.
[21:30] <ActionParsnip> hypmed: you should now get a wired connection
[21:31] <Dr_Willis_> geeknik:  Nifty. Now perhaps i can get $$ saved up to get a arm based tablet for next xmas.
[21:31] <XiaolinDraconis> Dr_Willis_, text based isnt my flavor
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: tinycore isnt text based
[21:31] <Dr_Willis_> XiaolinDraconis:  depends on your rescue needs.. 512mb is rather small
[21:31] <hypmed> ActionParsnip - correction - wired is working now but i dont know why - didn't work days ago so i've only got broken wireless networking
[21:31] <guntbert> `Nisstyre: stop those changes please
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> hypmed: could reinstall network manager, or install wicd as an alternative
[21:32] <geeknik> Dr_Willis_: there are already some decently priced tablets. I think Sears or Toys R Us had/has one for ~$150USD.
[21:32] <Dr_Willis_> XiaolinDraconis:  i just use the litlte flash drives like that as a 'rescue' grub boot  loader. I install grub to the mbr of the sda and to the flash drive. for a 'backup' in case i need to get back in.
[21:32] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: http://www.tinycorelinux.com/screenshots.html
[21:32] <XiaolinDraconis> im already on it
[21:32] <XiaolinDraconis> looks good
[21:32] <hypmed> ActionParsnip - i'll try and use Synaptics to get wicd installed and let you know - thanks
[21:32] <XiaolinDraconis> was wondering if gparted would install on it
[21:32] <Dr_Willis_> geeknik:  yea. saw those. the one i saw was runnign that windows mobil/ce/whatever and was a VERY low res screen. I dont think the wifes game would work on it.
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: you could install minimal ubuntu then install LXDE for a light desktop OS
[21:33] <Dr_Willis_> XiaolinDraconis:  tiny core linux  yes.
[21:33] <M8R0> here is the wiki for wine on arm arhitecture
[21:33] <M8R0> http://wiki.winehq.org/ARM
[21:33] <Dr_Willis_> XiaolinDraconis:  gparted  hjas its own live cd.
[21:33] <Dr_Willis_> XiaolinDraconis:  theres also proberly a dozen other 'rescue/recovery' type live cds out there.
[21:33] <M8R0> i consider to be a good lecture if you have time
[21:33] <XiaolinDraconis> Dr_Willis_, im on that too was gonna make a live usb of gparted but then i thought why not get some more tools on it
[21:34] <Dr_Willis_> XiaolinDraconis:  gparted live cd, and one called 'system rescue' are 2 good ones.
[21:34] <sipp11> Hi there, I have a question about firewall/proxy thing in my office. Usually it's always asking for my user/password when I get into browser. And it just works after that. The question is how can I do that in CLI? so far I get only 401 unauthorized error.
[21:34] <XiaolinDraconis> ActionParsnip, lxde sounds like it might be a winner
[21:34] <M8R0> :)
[21:34] <BernardV> presley: http://pastebin.com/ZgsTKdz7
[21:34] <Dr_Willis_> sipp11:  try a text based browser? :)
[21:34] <BernardV> Oh he's gone :P
[21:35] <Aisteru> I am having trouble configuring xorg to use the nvidia drivers. I installed the nvidia 96 package, & ran the automatic configuration tool, but the xorg.conf it generated does not work. It seems that there is no "nvidia" module installed.
[21:35] <Dr_Willis_> Aisteru:  installed the drivers how?
[21:35] <Aisteru> I used software center.
[21:35] <skullboy> ok im trying to update libjpeg but when i do i get this Breaks existing package 'libjpeg62-dev' dependency libjpeg62 (= 6b-16.1)
[21:35] <Dr_Willis_> Aisteru:   You rebooted afterwards?
[21:35] <sipp11> Dr_Willis_: yes it works in Lynx. but can I make this easier?
[21:36] <Dr_Willis_> sipp11:  no idea.
[21:36] <Aisteru> I did.
[21:36] <Dr_Willis_> Aisteru:  Hmm.. what chipset?
[21:36] <skullboy> ok im trying to update libjpeg but when i do i get this Breaks existing package 'libjpeg62-dev' dependency libjpeg62 (= 6b-16.1)
[21:36] <sipp11> Dr_Willis: Thanks anyway
[21:36] <mdpatrick> How ddo I search aptitude packages?
[21:36] <edbian> skullboy: Do you need that dev package?
[21:36] <Dr_Willis_> mdpatrick:  apt-cache search pattern
[21:37] <mdpatrick> Dr_Willis_: thank you
[21:37] <Dr_Willis_> mdpatrick:  aptitude proberly has a search option also. :)  i never use aptotide
[21:37] <edbian> mdpatrick: or aptitude search "keyword"
[21:37] <skullboy> edbian: yea but the dev package that i need depends on the version im trying to upgrade to
[21:38] <edbian> skullboy: Yeah IDK.  That's wierd
[21:39] <hateborne> Anyone with specific knowledge of ATI and/or fglrx with Ubuntu 10.10?
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> !ati
[21:41] <hateborne> It's past that ubottu. fglrx is nonfunction (or so it seems), ati package shows installed, but nothing is found on the hard drive.  :-\
[21:42] <r00t4rd3d> mdpatrick, Snynaptic Package Manage is apt gui.
[21:42] <XiaolinDraconis> and tiny core takes the win
[21:42] <XiaolinDraconis> assuming it can install gparted
[21:43] <Dr_Willis_> XiaolinDraconis:  its right there in the pacakge manager it has.
[21:43] <XiaolinDraconis> swt
[21:44] <XiaolinDraconis> thanks a lot Dr_Willis_
[21:44] <teddyb> hello
[21:45] <XiaolinDraconis> how can i reset my application defaults?
[21:45] <Dr_Willis_> XiaolinDraconis:  for what app?
[21:45] <XiaolinDraconis> i installed the kde package and now all my apps open with kde variants
[21:45] <jeckhys> Y a des français ?
[21:45] <Dr_Willis_> XiaolinDraconis:  ubuntu-tweak has some 'reset gnome' settings feature.
[21:45] <Dr_Willis_> XiaolinDraconis:  odd.. ive not noticed that issue here.
[21:46] <XiaolinDraconis> i started with plain ubuntu gnome
[21:46] <XiaolinDraconis> then wanted to test the other desktops
[21:46] <XiaolinDraconis> so i got xfce and kde
[21:46] <Dr_Willis_> Hmm. I instelled kubuntu-desktop here, over ubuntu-desktop. and had no issue.. also got Lubuntu on here.
[21:46] <BernardV> !fr | jeckhys
[21:47] <XiaolinDraconis> i switched sessions and then switched back now when i click a file it opens with amarok or ark or some other kde app
[21:47] <Dr_Willis_> XiaolinDraconis:  try the ubuntu tweak tool perhaps. it can reset gnome back to initial defaults i recall.
[21:47] <XiaolinDraconis> im on it
[21:47] <wilhart> is there any nice repo for adding skins ?
[21:47] <wilhart> art-manager sucks

[21:48] <XiaolinDraconis> gnome-look.org
[21:48] <jeckhys> !fr
[21:48] <Dr_Willis_> wilhart:  theres some altenative 'theme' tools out there. but i tend to just find theme ppa's these days
[21:48] <Dr_Willis_> wilhart:  gnome-art, and gnome-artng, epidermis, and proberly a dozen others i cant rember
[21:48] <teddyb> im having a problem, im trying to install filezilla but its asking me for the password but all i have is a .pub key
[21:48] <hypmed> ActionParsnip: Thanks for your help earlier, i'm all set
[21:48] <wilhart> Dr_Willis_: they are programs?
[21:48] <Dr_Willis_> wilhart:  err.. yes.
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> hypmed: no worries broseph :)
[21:48] <v0id_> is possible to SOCKS in xchat-gnome?
[21:48] <Dr_Willis_> what else could they be?
[21:48] <wilhart> Dr_Willis_: can find gnome-artng
[21:49] <BernardV> teddyb: When installing filezilla it asks you for a password?
[21:49] <GeekSquid> I've just installed 10.10 on a Compaq Presario F700, everything works except the keymap... Some keys do not work, Like Left and Right arrows, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down... Any ideas as to getting these keys working?
[21:49] <wilhart> Dr_Willis_: cant find epidermis
[21:50] <Dr_Willis_> wilhart:  they are not all in the default repos. use google.
[21:50] <teddyb> yeah well im trying to add a repo (following a guide online) can i do it without adding a repo?
[21:50] <wilhart> Dr_Willis_: ok but is this 32bit or 64bit :  epidermis_0.5.2-1_all.deb (md5, sig)
[21:51] <x-2000> hej
[21:51] <x-2000> swuxi
[21:52] <x-2000> securety disaster
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> teddyb: so you want to add a repo without adding a repo....?
[21:52] <GeekSquid> !details | x-2000

[21:53] <Dr_Willis_> wilhart:  and ive not used those in ages. so thats about all the support i can give.
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> teddyb: only users in the admin group can add repos and install apps
[21:53] <Dr_Willis_> wilhart:  installit, run it from term. look for error messages
[21:53] <x-2000> and then you.. send it to the terminator... yes ude your immagination...
[21:53] <x-2000> ?
[21:54] <teddyb> can i check what group im in?
[21:54] <x-2000> use*
[21:54] <x-2000> why?
[21:55] <x-2000> whaat...
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> teddyb: run:  groups   in a terminal
[21:55] <x-2000> you terminator.. you...
[21:56] <wilhart> Dr_Willis_: ok getting there python-nemphy was not installed
[21:56] <skullboy> how come when im schrooling throuh pics on google my comp freezes for a sec
[21:56] <Dr_Willis_> !info python-nemphy
[21:56] <teddyb> ovh@mc-188-165-53-xx:~$ groups
[21:56] <teddyb> ovh fuse x2gousers
[21:56] <GeekSquid> !info python-empathy
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> skullboy: which browser?
[21:57] <gsfai> whats the easiest way to redirect your sound output to your mic input?
[21:57] <skullboy> firefox
[21:57] <x-2000> yeah.. if it wasnt 2012, and i was on line anyways... then i would terminate you.. or something like that...
[21:57] <neriukas> !info empathy
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> skullboy: unlucky, this may help: http://www.forevergeek.com/2004/12/make_firefox_faster/
[21:58] <BernardV> gsfai: Does your soundcard accept output on the mic in?
[21:58] <x-2000> ok i get it...
[21:58] <skullboy> actionparsnip, firefox
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> skullboy: also try: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-251509.html
[21:58] <guntbert> x-2000: with whom are you talking?
[21:58] <GeekSquid> gsfai: alsamixer from the terminal will give you full control of all aspects of the soundcard
[21:58] <x-2000> pythonise your sorry....?
[21:58] <gsfai> BernardV, i think thats alittle hardcore lol
[21:59] <x-2000> es..
[21:59] <gsfai> GeekSquid, ok let me try that
[21:59] <Jordan_U> gsfai: Easiest way is with a double male mini phone cable, if I understand correctly what you're trying to accomplish.
[21:59] <x-2000> ok.. bye.. (;
[21:59] <x-2000> !!
[21:59] <BernardV> gsfai: Well could be, there are 7.1 cards that use the mic in as output if you use all 7.1 channels
[22:00] <wilhart> Dr_Willis_: gnome-artng soo i cant find download link
[22:00] <gsfai> BernardV, Jordan_U, i am actually trying to play some music in the input, so it gets caught by skype
[22:01] <BernardV> gsfai: Ah but then you could better change the input device for skype (don't know how to, but I'm sure it can be done..)
[22:01] <Jordan_U> gsfai: Then the easiest way is with a double male mini phone cable. You can also use pulseaudio to achieve the same thing in software.
[22:01] <skullboy> actionparsnip, not speed probs it freezes my computer when im looking through images on google
[22:01] <GeekSquid> skullboy: images.google.com
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> skullboy: could set a lower nice value for firefox. its all I can suggest as I dont use firefox
[22:02] <GeekSquid> skullboy: is a little laggy in firefox ... seems better in Chrome
[22:02] <BernardV> Jordan_U: gsfai Be aware that a mic input can't have the input voltage a normal input can have (about 1Vpp), so use a resistor or something to drop the voltage
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> GeekSquid: the web is laggy in firefox ;)
[22:02] <gsfai> i dont have a double male
[22:02] <XiaolinDraconis> what do i gotta do to install grub on my usb stick?
[22:02] <gsfai> actually... i lost it :P
[22:02] <neriukas> you can speed up FF :) it rlly helps :)
[22:02] <GeekSquid> ActionParsnip: Web 2.0 is laggy in firefox... Web 1.0 works great
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: you can boot to live CD, chroot to the usb and install grub
[22:03] <BernardV> gsfai: That wasn't something you could do in software, that's more like a hardware add-on
[22:03] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: sudo mount /dev/sdXY /mnt/; sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdX
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> GeekSquid: arora and chromium daily run great here
[22:03] <wilhart> gnomeartng-0.7.0-all.deb cant' find this file!!
[22:03] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: What is your end goal though?
[22:04] <gsfai> BernardV, i was thinking of something like `cat /dev/audio > /dev/input0` or something
[22:04] <XiaolinDraconis> im making a bootable usb stick
[22:04] <XiaolinDraconis> with tiny core linux on it
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: if you downloaded the deb manually, you will need to change directory in terminal to the location of the file
[22:04] <skullboy> actionparsnip, is chrome any good or is it just fast
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> XiaolinDraconis: there is a how to on making a bootable tinycore usb device
[22:04] <ActionParsnip> skullboy: its great imho
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> skullboy: fast too ;)
[22:05] <BernardV> gsfai: I've never tried something like that.. I wouldn't know if that could work
[22:05] <XiaolinDraconis> yes but the step just says to install grub
[22:05] <XiaolinDraconis> doesnt say how
[22:05] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: What guide are you following?
[22:05] <XiaolinDraconis> tiny core's guide to usb
[22:06] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: Link?
[22:06] <XiaolinDraconis> actually i just notice they have a whole nother section for installing grub
[22:06] <XiaolinDraconis> http://wiki.tinycorelinux.com/tiki-index.php?page=Installing+TC+on+USB#Installing_to_USB_with_GRUB_under_a_Linux_distro
[22:06] <GeekSquid> gsfai: If you are trying what I think... using a usb soundcard (as a second soundcard) would allow you to input the output of the other soundcard into skype, ... I don't see you being able to play music into skype with only one soundcard
[22:06] <hidnshadows> I just discovered the "personal file sharing" item in the menu, but it says that it's missing something. What do I need to get from the repos,, in order for personal file sharing to work?
[22:07] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: installed gnomeart-ng can't find executable file
[22:07] <gsfai> GeekSquid, ill try to find a non-hardware way to do this
[22:07] <Zirg> hey gang. how can i check to see if this is a 32 or 64 bit install??
[22:08] <BernardV> GeekSquid: gsfai Then a simple external mixer would also work....
[22:08] <KM0201> Zirg: uname -a or uname -r should tell you
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: where from, there is gnome-art in the repo, but not gnomeart-ng
[22:08] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: can't find mono-common
[22:08] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: trying to dpkg -i gnomeart-ng
[22:08] <cheleon> ains
[22:09] <GeekSquid> BernardV: exactly what I was thinking, then connect Ipod or CD player to external mixer on mic input and plug a mic into the mixer so you could also talk gsfai
[22:09] <hidnshadows> if anyone can help me set up "personal file sharing" please PM me, I need to go get food
[22:09] <gsfai> well yes, a second microphone input is required
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/how-to-install-gnomeartng-0-7-0-all-deb-in-ubuntu-10-10-a-840683/
[22:10] <gsfai> and ill try mixing with alsamixer
[22:10] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: Since Ubuntu uses grub2, rather than adding a menu.lst with the contents they mentioned you should create a grub.cfg with this as the contents: http://pastebin.com/F2JqQDAb
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: if you use the one in the repo, does it do what you expect?
[22:10] <BernardV> GeekSquid: Indeed
[22:11] <BernardV> gsfai: Maybe http://www.voiceemotion.com/
[22:11] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: can yo ugive repo then ?
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> !info gnome-art | wilhart
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: it's in the official repo.....
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: did you not think to search that first?
[22:11] <BernardV> gsfai: Or https://extras.skype.com/65/view
[22:12] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: no gnomeart-ng in repo
[22:12] <infoturtle> how would I sort this error?: The file /lib/modules/2.6.35-24-generic-pae/build/include/linux/autoconf.h does not exist.
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: yes, but gnome-art  is, what does gnomeart-ng do?
[22:13] <wilhart> ubottu: i know
[22:13] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: dunno
[22:13] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: more themes?
[22:13] <skullboy> how do i update libjpeg62
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: I suggest you install gnome-art   and see if it does what you need. How can it install MORE  themes when they both appear to access the same source for themes etc
[22:14] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: i have used that but they are so OLD themes
[22:14] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, thanks i almost totally missed ur message
[22:14] <skullboy> how do i update libjpeg62
[22:14] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: You're welcome.
[22:14] <GeekSquid> wilhart: I am not sure why you would need that package, gnome-art does the same thing, whereas gnomeartng is "the successor" but has not been incorporated downstream and is less likely to work
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> skullboy: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: i just installed https://launchpad.net/~ferramroberto/+archive/testing/+build/1941090/+files/gnomeartng_0.7.0-1~lffl~lucid~ppa_all.deb    with no issue
[22:16] <wilhart> ActionParsnip: it does the same thing as gnome-art ?
[22:16] <GeekSquid> wilhart: check out www.gnomelook.org, tons of themes, art and other stuff for gnome, which can be installed with gnome-art
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> wilhart: no idea, ive never used it
[22:18] <T3CHKOMMIE> hey guys, im trying to get startx and VBoxClient-all commands to run as soon as i log into a machine. anyone know how to make a srcipt that will run these commands when i log in?
[22:18] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, i still dont know how to go about installing grub. i have a terminal open and cd into /media/71D1-CD89   which is where the usb stick is mounted
[22:19] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: What is the device name (/dev/foo) for the USB stick?
[22:19] <skullboy> actionparsnip, i know but it says Breaks existing package 'libjpeg62-dev' dependency libjpeg62 (= 6b-16.1)
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> T3CHKOMMIE: the desktop install runs this automatically, is that not what you installed?
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> skullboy: sounds like you need a PPA
[22:20] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, pretty sure its /dev/sdb
[22:20] <skullboy> actionparsnip, PPA
[22:20] <T3CHKOMMIE> ActionParsnip, im runing a different build but the backend is ubuntu.
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | skullboy
[22:21] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, so i sudo install-grub /dev/sdb     ?
[22:21]  * T3CHKOMMIE is an Ubern00b at scripting :(
[22:21] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: You want to be more than pretty sure so that you don't make your internal drive unbootable.
[22:21] <GeekSquid> T3CHKOMMIE: check out System>Preferences>Startup Applications, you will need something to login and launch startx, and there are a number of ways to do this
[22:21] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/71D1-CD89/ /dev/sdb
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> T3CHKOMMIE: what OS and type did you initially install??
[22:22] <T3CHKOMMIE> ActionParsnip, its BT4 and i believe its ubuntu 9.10 on the backend. and the gui is KDE (I hate KDE) but havent got to changed that yet.
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> T3CHKOMMIE: backtrack isnt supported herte

[22:24] <XiaolinDraconis> got a folder named grub there now must have worked
[22:24] <aeon-ltd> Gartral: but, you do? check your firewall (ufw) settings
[22:24] <npoBaJl> I'm very sorry about that ActionParsnip... I only use it because of the paging system inside. I will look into the code and remove the advertising thing
[22:24] <luxurymode> GeekSquid: wil that install the eclipse i downloaded? bc i specifically want classic 3.6
[22:24] <luxurymode> i dont want the eclipse in the repo
[22:24] <IsmAvatar> Hey guys, i'm using the ambience theme and I'm having trouble seeing where the scrollbar ends because of the shades of white... Is there any way that I can modify that to make it more obvious?
[22:25] <aeon-ltd> IsmAvatar: look in /usr/share/themes for its resources
[22:25] <wilhart> soo anything new in ubuntu branch?
[22:25] <IsmAvatar> luxurymode: what's your question? I'm a heavy eclipse user.
[22:25] <wilhart> gnome?
[22:25] <GeekSquid> luxurymode: reccomend using a PPA from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+PPAS ... search for eclipse
[22:25] <IsmAvatar> ah, nvm, GeekSquid's helping you
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> luxurymode: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:eclipse-team/debian-package; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install eclipse
[22:26] <luxurymode> IsmAvatar: basically i uninstalled eclipse and now installed 3.6 classic. had problems with some android perspective stuff showing up on previous install
[22:26] <bearblack> Attention ubuntu support representatives. .ace files apparently are some sort of zip/compressed thingy. I installed an ace uncompressor from the ubuntu software panel. it has opened my file redviewer.ace. when i choose to extract I get An Error has occurred. There is absolutely no command line output .
[22:26] <philip_> Could anyone please help me with a small problem with my PDF files. My Samsung ML-1640 printer will not print PDFs but will print any other texted files. I would be most greatfull. Thank you
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> bearblack: there is an ace handler in the repo
[22:26] <luxurymode> ActionParsnip: that'll gimme classic 3.6?
[22:26] <GeekSquid> luxurymode: sorry ... loose the caps ... https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[22:27] <avis> in defense of comcast and the SELinux packages that slipped through that didn't check out, that is entirely fedora's fault.
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> !info unace | bearblack
[22:27] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, that wouldnt by chance have just made my ubuntu installations grub refer to the usb for booting now?
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> bearblack: ace is not a new filetype
[22:27] <luxurymode> GeekSquid: noob here. no idea what im supposed to do with that. :-)
[22:27] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: If your Ubuntu installation is on /dev/sdb it would.
[22:27] <guntbert> bearblack: there are no "ubuntu support representatives" in this channel, only vonlunteers, you can get paid support from canonical though
[22:28] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, i ask because in the usb directory all i see is the grub folder but no other folders than the locale folder
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> luxurymode: not sure about classic, but it'll give you 3.6
[22:28] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: Look at the output of "mount" to see what partitions are mounted where.
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> bearblack: is the file consistent?
[22:29] <GeekSquid> luxurymode: what version of ubuntu?
[22:29] <Gartral> I can't get ubuntu-one to syncronize with the cloud server, it says i have no internet connection
[22:29] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, i know the only two drives i have besides sr0 are sda and sdb
[22:29] <luxurymode> 10.10
[22:29] <Gartral> im on 10.10
[22:29] <luxurymode> GeekSquid: 10.10
[22:29] <Dr_Willis_> Gartral:  #ubuntuone may have some better help.
[22:29] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: Can you pastebin the output of "mount"?
[22:30] <IsmAvatar> luxurymode: thanks, but I'm not seeing the scrollbar images. Do different themes share images such that I might find it in another theme's folder?
[22:30] <luxurymode> IsmAvatar: got the wrong guy
[22:30] <mikeobeda> I need help tracing the pathway from my ubuntu machine to a windows xp machine, since I am only getting 100 megabit file transfer between the two, and I think I should be getting 1 gigabit
[22:30] <maxflax> I'm having the really annoying watermark "AMD Unsupported hardware" in my lower right on my screen.. is there a way to remove it?
[22:30] <IsmAvatar> luxurymode: sry >_>
[22:30] <luxurymode> IsmAvatar: i'll let it slide....this time
[22:30] <aeon-ltd> IsmAvatar: it may be generated and render just by the gtkrc config file
[22:30] <aeon-ltd> *rendered
[22:31] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, http://pastebin.com/TutXU0EP
[22:31] <mike123> i realise this is a stupid question in a channel for just ubuntu, but the #linux channel needs authorization: what is a good live cd that i can use to make an image of my windows default install for this computer? it is 10.8gb and i would like to copy it onto an 11 gb partition so that when my mom breaks it i can just revert without having to use the disk
[22:31] <aimio> anyone know a good window/tile manger for ubuntu ?
[22:31] <mikeobeda> compiz
[22:31] <IsmAvatar> aeon-ltd: ok thanks, I'll take a look
[22:32] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: Good, you installed grub to the USB correctly then.
[22:32] <rumpe1> mike123, any live cd will do i guess... just use dd, which is nearly everywhere a standard
[22:32] <aeon-ltd> aimio: dwm, awesome, xmonad, wmii, its all down to your taste really - i personally like wmii and dwm - nice 'n' light :)
[22:32] <rusivi> mike123: Force her to use a VM, and save a restore point
[22:32] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, i dont see any grub.cfg file
[22:32] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: You need to create that yourself.
[22:32] <mike123> rumpe1: i tried dd, the volume ran out of space, i think it was trying to copy the whole 60 gb partition, even though i'm sure 49.2 gb is empty
[22:33] <aimio> thx aeon-ltd
[22:33] <mike123> rusivi: i wish
[22:33] <Dr_Willis_> mike123:  dd will do all the volume.. including empty space.
[22:33] <mike123> dr_willis_: thus my problem with why it didn't work :)
[22:33] <GeekSquid> luxurymode: I am not finding that version in any repository.... pretty far upstream to be included into 10.10... still in source and untested... I cannot help you with that there ... IsmAvatar: would you like to field this one
[22:33] <Dr_Willis_> mike123:  i seem to recall some other tools that can skip the empty stuff. but  cant recall the names.  fsarchiver perhaps?
[22:33] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, i should put that in the grub folder or /boot
[22:34] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: In the grub folder.
[22:34] <sodas> hello
[22:34] <XiaolinDraconis> Jordan_U, thanks for the help bud
[22:34] <aeon-ltd> aimio: you're welcome
[22:34] <Jordan_U> XiaolinDraconis: You're welcome.
[22:34] <sodas> need some help installing ubuntu (well, Pinguy OS actually) - running the live version atm
[22:34] <luxurymode> GeekSquid: im just trying ActionParsnip's method
[22:34] <sechrist> I am authoring a deb, and upon purge I get warnings like this "conffile '/etc/init.d' is not a plain file or symlink"
[22:35] <rusivi> mike123: Your next best bet is to clone a fresh install + desired software of her OS, and save the cloned image to external media.  When she goofs up the OS, push out the clone (~10-20 minutes tops) brings she's back in business.
[22:35] <luxurymode> GeekSquid: thanks a lot for your help though
[22:35] <sechrist> How do I suppress these?
[22:35] <nirazio> What are some good GUI binary viewers/editors?
[22:35] <bearblack> ActionParsnip, I cannot determine if it is persistent. i download it and it very much has a file size and the files listed when i open it indicate it is i guess NORMAL
[22:35] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  techincally we dont support pinguy os. but you could state teh issue and see if its a common problem.
[22:35] <IsmAvatar> GeekSquid, luxurymode: I've always just installed in manually, without the repo. Might not be the best/recommended method, but it gave me full control over it.
[22:35] <Dr_Willis_> Aisteru:  im in and out all day long... whats the issue?
[22:35] <maxflax> Is there a channel for graphic drivers questions?
[22:36] <sodas> hi Dr_Willis, the issue is with gparted (and installer) not recognizing my previous partitions
[22:36] <rusivi> maxflax: binary or open source?
[22:36] <GeekSquid> sechrist: that question might be better answered in #ubuntu-packaging ... channel is specific to deb authoring
[22:36] <bearblack> ActionParsnip, it appears by using the UI at the top I can view an actual logged output. "File compressed with unknown method. Decompression not possible."
[22:36] <mike123> dr_willis_: that seems like it will do the job
[22:36] <XiaolinDraconis> time to give it a go
[22:36] <maxflax> rusivi - binary
[22:36] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  id try a ubuntu live cd. and see if gparted sees them
[22:36] <rusivi> maxflax: If nvidia or ati?
[22:37] <mike123> dr_willis_ :thank you i'll try it out :)
[22:37] <sodas> Dr_Willis: I am running a Live CD
[22:37] <maxflax> rusivi - ATI , have annoying watermark i want to remove
[22:37] <luxurymode> IsmAvatar: i dont see the help > install new software in install i just did... wtf?
[22:37] <rusivi> maxflax: IDK about an IRC (checking) your only support option for binary support is ATI Linux forum (checking)
[22:37] <mike123> rusivi: i'll try cloning it to a partition on her hd, and when i get around to backing it up i'll back that up to some external media also. thanks!
[22:38] <sodas> Dr_Willis: fdisk shows all my partitions, gparted doesn't (shows the whole drive as unallocated space)
[22:38] <C_Okie> hello
[22:38] <IsmAvatar> luxurymode: might be under a different name. That button has changed 3 times over the last 3 eclipse versions
[22:38] <GeekSquid> !hi | C_Okie
[22:38] <C_Okie> what
[22:38] <ionwind> hello
[22:38] <C_Okie> was that a bitwise or insult
[22:39] <pippo> ciao
[22:39] <luxurymode> IsmAvatar: i guess its help ? software updates?
[22:39] <ionwind> some one how are good with testdisk??
[22:39] <IsmAvatar> luxurymode: yes
[22:39] <Jordan_U> !anyone | ionwind
[22:39] <C_Okie> or was that a nor gate
[22:39] <sodas> is there a channel specific to "installation help"?
[22:39] <mikeobeda> is anyone able to help me with networking on my ubuntu server
[22:39] <guntbert> C_Okie:  Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[22:39] <aeon-ltd> sodas: ubuntu? then thats here
[22:39] <GeekSquid> C_Okie: sorry, that was me trying to use ubottu to say hi ... but apparently that one has been removed from the database... not an insult ... Welcome to Ubuntu
[22:39] <Zirg> Hey Team, running 10.04.1 LTS here and I'm trying to get google-talkplugin to work on it. I pulled down and installed the package from Google's site, but as yet, the settings still state I have no video. How should I go about troubleshooting this??
[22:39] <IsmAvatar> luxurymode: check out eclipse help files. The whole method has changed.
[22:40] <ionwind> sorry sorry
[22:40] <sodas> aeon-ltd: yes
[22:40] <luxurymode> haha ok thanks
[22:40] <C_Okie> Oh I thought you were saying not high as in the logical not operator in C++ :)
[22:40] <C_Okie> *not hi
[22:41] <hidnshadows> does anyone have any experience with "personal file sharing" that could help me set it up?
[22:41] <sodas> aeon-ltd: should I "pm" someone or just type away here?
[22:41] <Jordan_U> sodas: As this is a problem with parted (or rather, more likely that your partition table is invalid) try asking in #parted
[22:41] <sodas> Jordan_U: thanks, on my way there
[22:41] <C_Okie> GeekSquid:  you speak #define *(uint*) 0x000000FF? :D
[22:41] <mikeobeda> hidnshadows I just set up a file server last week, I could probably help
[22:41] <Jordan_U> sodas: You're welcome.
[22:41] <GeekSquid> C_Okie: I am not a programmer, so I don't get your humor... But regardless enjoy your stay in Ubuntu Support Channel
[22:41] <ionwind> is anyone expert o know good testdisk??
[22:41] <luxurymode> IsmAvatar: help tells me to do help > install new SW, but it aint there..
[22:42] <C_Okie> oh ok thanks
[22:42] <dysfunction> hello
[22:42] <ionwind> hi dys
[22:42] <C_Okie> :)
[22:42] <hidnshadows> mikeobeda I basically want an easy-medium toughness solution, for local network file sharing across OSes, like samba apparently
[22:42] <Jordan_U> ionwind: If there is, they won't be able to help you untill you actually ask a question.
[22:42] <Mahjongg> hello, how can I create an encrypted folder in my home directory, that I'd like to mount from time to time

[22:43] <C_Okie> I have an interesting question, does anyone know of any  model analysis programs like FIA for engineers on ubunut?
[22:43] <Zirg> Mahjongg, TrueCrypt?

[22:43] <mikeobeda> hidnshadows, alright, the computer you want to use to share files, is it ubuntu server you're using or is it ubuntu desktop?

[22:43] <rusivi> maxflax: IRC = #ati
[22:43] <hidnshadows> mikeobeda, desktop
[22:43] <Jordan_U> ionwind: How did you format it?
[22:43] <embiopterid_> hidnshadows: you can use either samba or apache
[22:43] <dysfunction> ad-hoc is a mode for wifi
[22:43] <maxflax> rusivi - thanks
[22:43] <GeekSquid> I've just installed 10.10 on a Compaq Presario F700, everything works except the keymap... Some keys do not work, Like Left and Right arrows, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down... Any ideas as to getting these keys working?
[22:44] <dysfunction> my 2 pc's are 5 feet apart
[22:44] <hidnshadows> dysfunction it's computer to computer.
[22:44] <ionwind> by mistake i reinstal ubuntu in the wrong HD
[22:44] <dysfunction> yes
[22:44] <embiopterid_> hidnshadows: apache for webdav, samba for windows-like file sharing
[22:44] <aeon-ltd> sodas: just type away here, if someone knows the answer and is watching they should reply
[22:44] <ionwind> all my live is in there :(
[22:44] <embiopterid_> samba is probably easier.
[22:44] <GeekSquid> dysfunction: perhaps there is interference on the channel.. try a different channel
[22:44] <ionwind> im not and expert in linux
[22:45] <mitzed> ionwind
[22:45] <hidnshadows> dysfunction if it's slow, try a computer to wifi connection?
[22:45] <ionwind> yes mitzed
[22:45] <Jordan_U> ionwind: Not all your data will be possible to recover.
[22:45] <IsmAvatar> luxurymode: oh, sorry... darn outdated help files. Well yes, it's Software Updates. Then you type the update site URL in the URL area, and it should pop up. It's fairly straightforward from there. I have to eat right now, tho.
[22:45] <mitzed> u need  help
[22:45] <philip_> Hello could someone tell me how to get Samsung ML-1640 to print PDF files Please. Thank you
[22:45] <ionwind> ok undertand
[22:45] <hidnshadows> dysfunction wait, you want a device to device connection right? my bad
[22:46] <mikeobeda> hidnshadows okay.  you'll want to install the samba-server package, and then you'll want to make user accounts for the other machines to connect to.  After creating the user accounts, you need to convert them from UNIX users to samba users.  Then you edit the /etc/smb.conf file to make sure that your ubuntu machine is in the same workgroup as the computers you want to access the server from.  you'll also need to set the samba pa
[22:46] <kchkchkch> na, ihr sexfreaks?!
[22:46] <mikeobeda> ssword for the samba users on your ubuntu machine with the sudo smbpasswd username command
[22:46] <ionwind> but its a possibility to recover some?
[22:46] <murmurs> I'm messing around with virtualhosts for Apache2 and I think I've messed things up a bit. I wish to completely remove Apache2, Php, MySQL and phpmyadmin, so that I can do a clean reinstall (and maybe put Django in there), anyone suggest what the best way to do this? I'm guessing merely 'apt-get remove '-ing won't cut it for the configurations, passwords etc?
[22:46] <sodas> aeon-ltd: Thanks. Moved over to //parted channel
[22:46] <aeon-ltd> philip_: does it print anything?
[22:46] <dysfunction> yea, you are right about channel interference
[22:46] <aeon-ltd> philip_: like a strip of code or similar?
[22:46] <hidnshadows> mikeobeda, mind if I pm? I'm really a low-level user
[22:46] <GeekSquid> murmurs: sudo apt-get remove --purge package removes the configs as well
[22:46] <ionwind> Jordan_u do u know how to di that?
[22:46] <dysfunction> everyone around here seems to be using the same chan for some reason
[22:47] <mikeobeda> hidnshadows change the username in that command with the username of the samba user of course.  i'm not entirely sure how to go about doing everything from the command line, since I used the webmin application a lot.  everything I know came from the site http://havetheknowhow.com, I suggest you check out what is to offer there
[22:47] <bastidrazor> murmurs: apt-get purge will clear out the configuration files
[22:47] <philip_> Dysfunction yes it will print txt files ok
[22:47] <bastidrazor> GeekSquid: i'm a bit slow, it seems. :)
[22:47] <murmurs> GeekSquid, really? seems a suspiciously simple solution, you know?
[22:47] <murmurs> cool
[22:47] <embiopterid_> murmers: you may want to make sure mysql databases are deleted as well
[22:47] <murmurs> ah
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> murmurs: linux keeps things simple
[22:47] <GeekSquid> murmurs: yep, I like to make things easy
[22:48] <Jordan_U> ionwind: First try following this guide to see if you can recover the filesystem just by restoring the partition in the partition table: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step
[22:48] <mitzed> ionwind what you kept in ur hd?
[22:48] <murmurs> indeed, it's a LOT simpler than my first experience with Linux (RedHat 7.4)
[22:48] <C_Okie> ...
[22:48] <z0mbie> Has anyone successfully joined a Microsoft SBS 2008 domain with ubuntu 10.10 with likewise-open?
[22:48] <Jordan_U> ionwind: It's not likely to work in your case as you actually overwrote the partition rather than deleting it, but if it does work then most of your data should be accessable relatively easily.
[22:48] <ionwind> i try all ready jordan
[22:49] <C_Okie> Anyone know of a strucutual analysis program for ubuntu for mech engineers
[22:49] <ionwind> but im cant fixes
[22:49] <murmurs> embiopterid_,  won't mysql db be removed as part of the purge?
[22:49] <hidnshadows> alright, so samba is going to be the easiest local filesharing system?
[22:50] <Jordan_U> ionwind: The you'll need to move on to photorec: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step
