[12:27] <feanor> c4pt, setup user name and workgroup
[12:27] <c4pt> feanor, can you link me?
[12:28] <aurilliance> Liooba, what are you going to use each OS for?
[12:28] <feanor> c4pt, it's in samba.conf
[12:28] <c4pt> ok
[12:29] <Utente> sorry folks, again, how can i see any unmounted HDisks with command line (not formatted disks), pls?
[12:30] <Liooba> linux for programming (i'm astudent) and internet surf, and maybe other stuff, and windows mainly for gaming and use of only windows software (such as some specific calculation programs of my school). I also want to be abe to listen to my music and watch videos on both, but these will be on an external usb hd.
[12:31] <poggle> has anyone else experienced rather slow ubuntu installs lately?
[12:31] <poggle> this new 10.10 has been somewhat retarded
[12:32] <sacarlson> Liooba: it's a bit easier to install windows first so that grub will become the first boot loader
[12:32] <poggle> compared to older versions 1010 is a lot slower
[12:32] <poggle> same as next to different distros
[12:32] <c4pt> feanor, ?
[12:32] <c4pt> feanor, where in smb.conf ?
[12:32] <c4pt> feanor, the workgroup is already correct.
[12:32] <c4pt> feanor, for valid users its = %S
[12:33] <Liooba> sacarlson: mmm ok , but now i'm stuck with a ubuntu install CD, i've got a ISO win XP install CD, but no cd writer now, until i install my system :/
[12:33] <feanor> c4pt, you need setup a user name of some user on windows 7 machine you're connecting to
[12:33] <c4pt> feanor, can you give me an example ?
[12:33] <c4pt> feanor, so i can translate the example into my smb.conf please?
[12:34] <c4pt> feanor, there are alot of options in the smb.conf
[12:34] <Liooba> isn't it possible to configure the grub on dual boot later ? i'm not afraid of command lines and stuff like that, i'm glad to learn new things on computers ;)
[12:35] <feanor> c4pt, i have no samba installedm but look for group of "user", "pass" and "workgroup" options
[12:36] <Moreliini> Liooba: grub-install and grub-mkconfig are the bins you'll need, but sacarlson is right about the order, you could burn your XP cd in Ubuntu Live with Brasero
[12:37] <Liooba> ok, i'll stop install and reboot with Live, thx for your advises moreliini and sacarlson
[12:37] <sacarlson> Liooba: ok,  it just adds a bit more work,  so other things sounds like you want then are the restricted package to allow video and music playback and build-essensials http://packages.debian.org/sid/build-essential  for software C and c++ programing
[12:39] <Liooba> sacarlson: ok, thanks. btw, do recommend using ext4 for the linux partition(s), instead of ext3 ?
[12:39] <ryanf109> Hi all. What is the advantages of using sudo rather than su root then running a command?
[12:39] <Deddly> Am I in the right place to get help with installing ubuntu with Universal USB Installer?
[12:39] <jrib> ryanf109: root is locked by default on ubuntu for one
[12:39] <jrib> !sudo > ryanf109
[12:40] <ryanf109> jrib, thanks.
[12:40] <Moreliini> !sudo > Moreliini
[12:41] <Deddly> When trying to put Ubuntu onto a USB drive I get the following error: "an error () occurred while executing syslinux. Your USB drive won't be bootable"
[12:41] <Dr_Willis> Deddly:  what tool are you using to put it on USB?
[12:42] <Deddly> Dr_Willis: Universal USB Installer, according to the instructions on the main Ubuntu web site
[12:43] <sacarlson> Liooba: yes I see no problems with ext4 and third party windows software can now read it from windows.
[12:43] <Deddly> Dr_Willis: Oddly, there is no number between the brackets
[12:43] <Liooba> ok! thx for your help
[12:44] <qdii> how can I make it so metacity is run at every gnome boot instead of the default window manager ?
[12:48] <wald0> does the version x64 run in a I7 processor ?
[12:48] <wald0> in other words, i need the version x64 for my I7 processor ?
[12:49] <deww> wald0: yes that will work with i7
[12:49] <DDAZZA> (connection died) I'm getting this error from a java application.  http://pastebin.com/VCMfH5AL Can someone tell me what’s wrong and how to fix it?
[12:49] <sugoruyo> wald0: x64 means 64-bit, so an i7 will be fine with it
[12:49] <greppy> wald0: if you have a 64bit cpu, like an i7, you can use the amd64 kernel
[12:49] <dnivra> hello. when I try to upgrade, it says 67 packages available but all are held back. what is wrong?
[12:49] <sugoruyo> wald0: but you don't need the x64 with an i7, unless you have more than 3 gigs of RAM
[12:50] <deww> dnivra: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:50] <romeo> hi
[12:50] <wald0> apart of the ram, it is better to use the x64 version than the 32 one ?
[12:50] <dnivra> thanks deww !
[12:50] <wald0> i heard that there's not optimization/speed difference
[12:52] <deww> wald0: some stuff like printer drivers might be easier to find
[12:54] <wald0> im downloading the "natty desktop amd64.iso", it is a LIVE system, right ? because i don't want to install it on my disk now
[12:55] <blackshirt1> wald0: i think yes
[12:55] <DJones> wald0: Should be, desktop cd's are live systems
[12:56] <doodoo> is there any fan control utility for Ubuntu?
[12:56] <pr0ph3t> hi all
[12:56] <blackshirt1> hi

[12:57] <aurilliance> hm no
[12:57] <bazhang> pr0ph3t, #ubuntu+1
[12:57] <DJones> pr0ph3t: Can't rememeber the command off teh top of my head, but if you join #ubuntu+1 they'll be able to help you
[12:58] <pr0ph3t> thanks all :)

[13:00] <v4nelle> thx :)
[13:01] <usr13> aurilliance: Are you talking about changing the login screen?
[13:01] <aurilliance> usr13, No, just selecting a color for use in websites, apps etc. Ie, a hex, rgb, hsl colour wheel.
[13:01] <aurilliance> I thought gnome-color-chooser would be it, but that's a desktop customisation app
[13:02] <usr13> aurilliance: Theems ?
[13:03] <sipior> aurilliance: gcolor2 will do what you want, but i don't believe it is installed by default.
[13:03] <aurilliance> sipior, Thanks mate, I'll have a look
[13:03] <aurilliance> sipior, perfect! That's *exactly* what I wanted!
[13:03] <aurilliance> Thank you so much
[13:04] <sipior> aurilliance: sure, no trouble.

[13:08] <basilbear> people - why is rhythmbox opening when I select places->documents and how do I set it back to use nautilus pls?
[13:09] <[bean]> there shoul be a set application defaults setting
[13:09] <[bean]> under administration or preferences
[13:09] <sam-_-> aurilliance, check your compiz settings
[13:10] <aurilliance> sam-_-, Am doing
[13:10] <YammYgirlcoding> bazhang how come? do i have to update anything?
[13:10] <poggle> it takes forever to install this pos
[13:10] <poggle> wtf did they change in 10.10 to make installs crawl like this?
[13:10] <YammYgirlcoding> when i install /home in another partition is it supposed to change anything ? I expected it to be just transparent for me.
[13:10] <bazhang> poggle, language please
[13:11] <aurilliance> sam-_-, nothing :/
[13:11] <YammYgirlcoding> before i used to cd.. or cd /home and it worked. Now it can't find anything
[13:11] <[bean]> poggle what are you tryin to install?
[13:11] <poggle> [bean], 10.10 desktop
[13:11] <sam-_-> aurilliance, sry. i'm too tired now :-)
[13:11] <geirha> YammYgirlcoding: Should be transparent, yes.
[13:12] <[bean]> can you share your hardware info?
[13:12] <sam-_-> good night
[13:12] <thiefy> v4nelle, i think this might help you?       ps ax | grep /usr/lib/firefox-*/firefox-bin > ~/download/cow.txt
[13:12] <basilbear> bean: unfortunately it does not cover opening folders
[13:12] <thiefy> v4nelle, i'm not a good scripter though.
[13:12] <YammYgirlcoding> how is that updatedb command ? I'm new to ubuntu
[13:12] <poggle> [bean], well, it's an 1215n asus netbook, i believe
[13:12] <aurilliance> Just found https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/678423
[13:12] <v4nelle> thiefy, thank you very much.....but i found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=915299
[13:13] <basilbear> ?
[13:13] <thiefy> v4nelle, i think what you want to do is quite easy, but i am not good at that. hahah.   good job finding an answer mate.
[13:13] <YammYgirlcoding> I recall that i should have /home mounted in some config file. is that still true ?
[13:13] <schnuffle> YammYgirlcoding: sudo updatedb rectreates the file index
[13:13] <bazhang> YammYgirlcoding, used in conjuction with mlocate
[13:14] <YammYgirlcoding> do i have to manually have /home mounted in some config file or anything?
[13:14] <schnuffle> YammYgirlcoding: Only if you have a sperate home partition the config file is /etc/fstab
[13:14] <YammYgirlcoding> as it's in new partition now
[13:14] <[bean]> basilbear: Right click a folder, go to Properties -> Open With, and change it back to Nautilus. There's a bug where if a folder is opened in an application, it automatically associates folders with that application on your system.
[13:14] <YammYgirlcoding> yes the /home is at another partition now
[13:15] <skorv> a girl!
[13:15] <skorv> wow
[13:15] <thiefy> a girl?
[13:15] <Pici> skorv: Please don't.
[13:15] <thiefy> wht the heck?
[13:15] <basilbear> bean: thanks, I'll take a look
[13:15] <skorv> lol
[13:15] <YammYgirlcoding> yes =) what's wrong with that :p
[13:15] <skorv> nothing
[13:15] <[bean]> poggle: have you checked the ubuntu compatibility list to see if it list your netbook or its hardware?
[13:15] <schnuffle> YammYgirlcoding: find the correct
[13:15] <skorv> sometimes i wonder why there arent more :P
[13:15] <Pici> !girls | skorv
[13:15] <schnuffle> YammYgirlcoding: UUId of the partitio and add a line in /etc/fstab
[13:16] <sipior> skorv: try looking in the mirror.
[13:16] <bazhang> skorv, offtopic and inappropriate please stop
[13:16] <YammYgirlcoding> i guess cause linux is ugly ^^
[13:16] <skorv> lol
[13:16] <YammYgirlcoding> hmm how i know where /home partition is ?
[13:16] <thiefy> hahah
[13:16] <YammYgirlcoding> i used linux 10 years ago, so i don't recall much
[13:16] <schnuffle> YammYgirlcoding: UUID=287d7319-edd2-4ce3-8d4c-dea74b744bf6 /home               ext4    relatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[13:16] <YammYgirlcoding> how do i list the partitions in first place?
[13:17] <skorv> ppl here are top level... i'm a newbie myself so i wont be able to help that much
[13:17] <schnuffle> YammYgirlcoding: sudo fdisk and then type p to lit the partitions
[13:17] <YammYgirlcoding> hmm hold on. i go try that at the another room
[13:17] <greppy> YammYgirlcoding: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
[13:17] <schnuffle> YammYgirlcoding: and sudo blkid to find the UUID<->partition mappings
[13:18] <basilbear> bean: success, thanks
[13:18] <[bean]> np
[13:18] <thiefy> YammYgirlcoding, type sudo fdisk -l    and sudo blkid     that'll help.

[13:22] <schnuffle> wookienz: depends on the setup generally I would say NFS can be faster
[13:22] <FxIII> hi all
[13:22] <FxIII> what is the command to get the package dependecies list ? (command line)
[13:23] <DND> hi. is it possible to have 2 usb sticks? one stick(256mb) will be the boot partition and another stick(8gb)will be swap and /
[13:23] <DND> so if im not in the house, i can just take the 256 so no one can boot it
[13:23] <DND> ?
[13:24] <FxIII> DND: is it possible in line of principle
[13:24] <nibbler_> DND, nothing wrong about that
[13:24] <sipior> DND: unless they bring their own usb stick...
[13:25] <FxIII> there can be just a problem in the devices enumeration
[13:25] <FxIII> you should use the uuid to idendify the disks because de /dev/sd*  enumeration may change
[13:26] <DND> maybe if the swap and / is on an internal HDD then there will be no problem with device numbering
[13:26] <tehbaut> when I try to run fsck on an HFS+ formatted partition, it tells me it's journaled and stops
[13:26] <sacarlson> DND: it might be easier just to lock the computer by bios password or encyption or other methods
[13:26] <[bean]> FxIII: if you run apt-get install program it should list dependencies
[13:26] <DND> so its somewhat a false sense of security?
[13:26] <oCean> FxIII: apt-cache depends packagename or use rdepends for reverse dependencies
[13:27] <sipior> DND: completely false.

[13:38] <ahaney3> Hi, I tried to install cassandra via apt-get install cassandra, and it throws an error "Package cassandra is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[13:38] <ahaney3> is only available from another source" is there anyway I can help to fix this? I've installed it from source on a few machines, but it would obviously be much easier if it were in the repo
[13:39] <poggle> e21, what is showing?
[13:39] <leeet> i dont find my original .conkyrc file in ~ though conky is running as always
[13:39] <poggle> ahaney3, what other package?
[13:39] <poggle> ahaney3, likely this other package contains cassandra
[13:39] <ahaney3> I don't know, how would I find that out?
[13:39] <bazhang> ahaney3, its not in maverick repos
[13:39] <ahaney3> I was trying to install cassandra directly
[13:39] <janmoesen> libc6 upgrade (i suspect) broke my system beyond repair: i can no longer boot, not even in safe mode — what do i do? the last output was: "Preparing to replace libc6 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.6 (using .../libc6_2.11.1-0ubuntu7.7_i386.deb) ..." followed by "Unpacking replacement libc6 ..." and then connection closed by peer

[13:40] <poggle> ahaney3, try aptitude search cassandra
[13:40] <playere> nederland?
[13:40] <bazhang> !nl | playere
[13:40] <oCean> kaushal: sorry, this way it wors for me. It seems that you cannot connect http at pastebin.com for some reason (connection reset by peer)
[13:40] <poggle> e21 quit? no patience
[13:41] <[bean]> poggle: they pinged ou
[13:42] <[bean]> out
[13:42] <ahaney3> I searched for cassandra in synaptic and got nothing, it's an apache project, how would one go about adding it to the repo?
[13:42] <poggle> his wireless issue was easily fixed
[13:42] <oCean> kaushal: one more suggestion, you could try pasting to ubuntu: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com
[13:42] <poggle> [bean], he powered off? ;)
[13:42] <kaushal> ok
[13:42] <bazhang> ahaney3, either check apache or find a ppa?
[13:42] <[bean]> possibly, or he could of lost connection. he lives in indonesia after all
[13:42] <ahaney3> bazhang I'm not familiar with your tla, what's a ppa?
[13:42] <BluesKaj> ahaney3, not in the repos . but http://cassandra.apache.org/
[13:43] <organise> Hi i'm using ubuntu 10.10 when i restart gnome by doing /etc/init.d/gdm restart, gdm sometimes doesn't launch it just shows text saying "Checking battery ...", can anyone tell me what is going wrong and how i can fix this issue?
[13:43] <ahaney3> blueskaj, yeah, I've installed it on a few machines, enough to know that it'd be MUCH easier to just run apt-get install cassandra :), and I didn't see a good reason why it wasn't already in the repo :)
[13:43] <poggle> organise, i guess it is too risky to restart gnome
[13:44] <poggle> organise, just google the "checking battery" thing
[13:45] <farciarz84> I would like to create homedir for user, what kind of permission should have this dir that user can go to it and cannot go up?
[13:45] <farciarz84> any help?
[13:45] <farciarz84> is it possible?
[13:45] <poggle> go up as in into /?
[13:45] <poggle> or browse anyone elses home dirs
[13:45] <organise> poggle, it does it sometimes but if i ssh into the machine and do /etc/init.d/gdm restart again then it works, I've been googling "checking battery" but can't find a fix
[13:45] <farciarz84> /home/user/blabla/ - he can go to blabla but not to /home/user/
[13:46] <[bean]> i think he wants the user to only have read/write access to the users home directory
[13:46] <poggle> hmmm
[13:46] <poggle> i dont know anything else, sorry
[13:47] <raba> hi all. Can I ask& - if I have a Intel Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller , can I have resolution more then 1280x800 and if I can ,how?
[13:47] <farciarz84> [bean]: no he don't ecpecially read
[13:48] <farciarz84> doesn't *
[13:48] <farciarz84> so is it possible or not?
[13:48] <farciarz84> cd /home/user/blabla - ok / cd /home/user - permission denied
[13:48] <raba> yes,i'd like to have more resolution then current 1280x800
[13:49] <raba> I'm a newbie in ubuntu and not have install any of video driver, may be this is a reason?
[13:50] <linuxguy101> anyone know of a stopwatch program for linux????
[13:50] <bazhang> linuxguy101, stopwatch
[13:50] <farciarz84> I made chmod 777 /home/user/blabla but he cannot go there :(((
[13:50] <rumpe1> linuxguy101, "time read" ... press enter for stop :)
[13:51] <violetstreak> Is there any advantage of installing trac using the Bitnami installer?
[13:51] <linuxguy101> bazhang: sorry i dont see that program
[13:51] <bazhang> linuxguy101, thought you were on mandriva
[13:51] <bazhang> !info stopwatch | linuxguy101
[13:51] <linuxguy101> bazhang: i am, but there seems to be no linux stop watch programs
[13:52] <bazhang> linuxguy101, #mandriva  this is for Ubuntu support
[13:52] <farciarz84> how to set permission to concrete dir that anyone can access it but cannot go up?
[13:52] <linuxguy101> bazhang: we are all in this linux thing together
[13:52] <bazhang> linuxguy101, thats ##linux
[13:52] <farciarz84> linux guy come on
[13:52] <farciarz84> ubuntu guys come on:)
[13:53] <jrib> farciarz84: what do you mean by "go up"?
[13:53] <researcher1> is it possible to install virtual printer to study printer networking?
[13:53] <bazhang> linuxguy101, and mandriva uses rpm, so no use asking in an Ubuntu channel
[13:53] <linuxguy101> hey if you guys have a stopwatch program, then i can find out what the name is and maybe install it on mandriva
[13:53] <farciarz84> jrib: access top dir e.g cd /home/user/blabla --> ok but cd /home/user --> permission denied
[13:53] <bazhang> linuxguy101, I just did, "stopwatch"
[13:54] <linuxguy101> bazhang: really, that actually works on ubuntu?
[13:54] <sipior> researcher1: interesting notion. perhaps easier just to run a packer sniffer like tcpdump, selecting for traffic intended for the printer.
[13:54] <bazhang> linuxguy101, yes.
[13:54] <linuxguy101> bazhang: ok cool, i will get it on mandriva
[13:54] <jrib> farciarz84: not possible
[13:54] <organise> poggle, i've googl'ed it's something after the checking battery state that is causing the problem, how i can find out what is being checked and in what order
[13:55] <jrib> farciarz84: what do you want to accomplish though?
[13:55] <farciarz84> jrib: :-( what can I do then? I want to user cannot read anything from /home/user/ but can do anything in /home/user/blabla
[13:56] <jrib> farciarz84: do not give the user access to the files in /home/user then.  And only give him execute permissions on /home/user
[13:56] <janmoesen> farciarz84: create a directory somewhere else, e.g. under /home or /var and chmod that to 777
[13:56] <farciarz84> so he can access/read/write in /home/user/blabla/ but cannot read/write files in /home/user/  '/home/user/ is just a example in fact this is different dir
[13:56] <FxIII> is there a way to reset the configuration for the upper bar when in ubuntu-netbook remix?
[13:57] <FxIII> is there some .configurationDir under the home directory?
[13:57] <jrib> farciarz84: you cannot prevent him from "cd parent_directory", but he won't be able to do anything in it :)
[13:57] <lebear> I'm looking for some support on a dvd device issue
[13:58] <bazhang> lebear, ask an actual question
[13:58] <tehbaut> how do I set my time zone in Maverick?
[13:58] <tehbaut> I added a location, but that didn't change the time zone of my main clock
[13:58] <ProjectTFZO> hi all - is there a ubuntu package for usa-19h keyspan usb to serial adapater drivers
[13:59] <lebear> the dvd in my laptop simply refused accepting any discs a few days back. tried blank dvd's, orginal dvd's, dvd-r's etc. nothing happened. I thought it was a hardware issue, bought one of those cleaning discs which actually did load (with some "cleaning in progress" music and video)
[13:59] <jrib> farciarz84: example: « mkdir -p parent/sub; chmod a-rw parent »  If you had files in parent, you would need to remove the user's permission on those because even though he cannot « ls parent », he could still access the files there if he knew of them and had permission
[13:59] <lebear> now, how do I proceed to diagnose what the issue might be?
[14:00] <jrib> lebear: probably a hardware issue, I've had many dvd drives fail.  You could try a different OS to see if it makes a difference
[14:00] <lebear> if I put a dics in, it makes some noise for a while,, and the disk utility tells me "no media present"
[14:00] <mbeierl> lebear: are there errors in /var/log/messages?
[14:00] <serialized> is it all discs or just dvds?
[14:01] <lebear> serialized, tried a cd-rw aswell, didnt work
[14:01] <serialized> my dell 6000 could only read dvds not cds
[14:01] <serialized> for some reason
[14:01] <mbeierl> lebear: my dvd reader died in a strange way.  For a month or two it refused to read CDs at all, just DVDs.  then it stopped reading those too
[14:01] <serialized> like someone has said your drive is probably broken
[14:01] <mbeierl> serialized: my dell d630 too!
[14:02] <serialized> :D
[14:02] <lebear> mbeierl, in the message log: [ 7150.093663] VFS: busy inodes on changed media or resized disk sr0
[14:02]  * jrib has also had dell dvd drives fail -_-
[14:02] <mbeierl> that's too funny.
[14:02] <mbeierl> that it's just dvds and not cds ...
[14:02] <serialized> i know
[14:02] <serialized> gave it to my sister in the end so not all bad
[14:03] <farciarz84> jrib: thx
[14:03] <farciarz84> :)
[14:04] <lebear> mbeierl, annoying though. it's a PATA interface and I can't seem to find any of those reasonably priced as replacements.. :(
[14:05] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[14:05] <mbeierl> lebear: what I would do ... although not as good, is get a cheap usb standalone one.  you can find them for around $30CAD here...
[14:06] <Dr_Willis> DVD/cd reading - uses differnt lasers i thought.
[14:06] <lebear> mbeierl, yeah I'll do that. wouldnt mind watching dvds on the train.. but that's the only option. I live in Sweden and there are NO drives (PATA) available. so I'd have to order internationally, which would cost over $80 usd.. def not worth it
[14:07] <mbeierl> Dr_Willis: I thought it was just a different spectrum frequency, but same laser unit...
[14:07] <Dr_Willis> mbeierl:  may be same diode 'thing' but i thought it was 2 differnt types/colors.. (freq) but i may be thinking of the burner lasers also
[14:07] <mbeierl> lebear: there's no type of used computer shop that might carry old hardware?
[14:08] <Guest10678> hello
[14:08] <mbeierl> Dr_Willis: yes, it is two different colours.  dual layer adds even more colours I think.
[14:08] <shack1> Hello all
[14:08] <Dr_Willis> dual layer - think can move the focus up/down some how. :) Ive never had a DL burner work worth a darn.

[14:09] <nVee> is there a way to run mutliple terminal "windows" in ubuntu server?
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> nVee:  screen lets you have more then one terminal in a 'window'
[14:10] <nVee> awesome
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> nVee:  it depends on the details of how you are getting a terminal....
[14:10] <nVee> let me get screen :)
[14:10] <nits_hunter> trying to do a chmod -R username:groupname /path-to-folder to get ownership of the mounted partitions at /mnt but it aint changing the ownership, ideas guys?
[14:10] <nVee> well at the moment I am running terminal through ssh
[14:10] <nVee> putty :)
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> nits_hunter:  and the filesystem of the partition is?
[14:10] <nVee> i know I can open multiple putty windows
[14:10] <Dr_Willis> nVee:  you want to use screen/byobu then.

[14:11] <Dr_Willis> nits_hunter:  you DONT chown/chmod a ntfs/vfat after its mounted. You must set the options when you mount them.
[14:12] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs-3g
[14:12] <Sammi16> http://tinypic.com/r/2gv9ffa/7
what happened
[14:12] <nits_hunter> Dr_Willis: OH!!!!!!! didnt realise that!!!! should i umount -a and chmod then and then remount?
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> nits_hunter:  No.. you dont use chmod at all. You use teh proper options to ntfs-3g or the mount ommand.
[14:13] <Sammi16> and i cannot change it back that i can see...

 ok thank you
[14:41] <organise> hi does anyone know why when you do /etc/init.d/gdm restart in ubuntu 10.10 it doesn't properly restart gnome it just goes to a black screen saying "checking battery status" ?
[14:41] <AnthLee> zlatan, I recommend cleaning the dust out of your machine to make sure its cooling properly and running a memtest and see if either of those are the cause
[14:41] <Guest3811> I'm testing something on BlogTV, actually my cam works well, but It doesn't detect me when I'm talking with microphone, It just says I'm using a Linux Microphone (this one was used when I had Windows).
[14:41] <aeon-ltd> organise: it doesn't restart gnome, it restarts X what you are seeing is the cli/vitrual terminal without X
[14:42] <nits_hunter> nodestool: http://www.d9x.net/linux/guides/crons.php
[14:42] <zlatan> AnthLee:how do I conduct memtest
[14:42] <AnthLee> zlatan, also checking the filesystem for errors is good practice in such matters
[14:42] <Guest3811> o nvm
[14:42] <royale1233> zlatan: during startup
[14:42] <Guest3811> It works, but It needs me to press the record button on altamixer option
[14:42] <Guest3811> dO I need to have it toogled on all time o.O?
[14:42] <SA-Geoff> lol
[14:42] <organise> aeon-ltd but how i can restart X so that it goes back into gnome
[14:42] <SA-Geoff> once you set it, log on as root and run alsactl store
[14:42] <royale1233> zlatan: select memtest from list of os
[14:42] <zlatan> AnthLee:how to check filesystem
[14:42] <AnthLee> zlatan, use the live cd and instead of choosing live or install choose memtest
[14:43] <SA-Geoff> "alsactl store"
[14:43] <zlatan> royale:there is no memtest on list
[14:43] <nnvno> Hello
[14:43] <AnthLee> zlatan, http://www.memtest.org/
[14:43] <aeon-ltd> organise: kill it then start it, 'sudo killall X' then gdm should do the rest
[14:43] <zlatan> AnthLee:Okay,thanks..I will clean and use live cd for memtest
[14:43] <royale1233> zlatan: run sudo update-grub

[14:46] <pianonut> I am having difficulty setting up a LinuxMint boot on a desktop with XP.  The LinuxMint User's manual on p 14 shows the screen at the stage: "Allocate drive space" the option  "Install alongside other operating systems" but that option is not on my scrfeen.
[14:46] <nnvno> Killing profiles from the "home" sort of works, but I'd prefer less radical solution.
[14:46] <nnvno> If there is one...
[14:47] <tsaklidis> can anyone help me? i installed 10.04 and have no sound..
[14:47] <royale1233> pianonut: try #linuxmint.com channel
[14:47] <Pici> !mintsupport | pianonut
[14:48] <pianonut> Thanks, royale1233.  and Pici and ubottu.  I'm now going to irc.spotchat.org
[14:49] <guitar-maniac> Hey! I'm trying to install ubuntu to USB stcik with Unetbooting.. How can i know if i should choose /dev/sbd1 od dev/ Also does unetbooting make it automatically persistent style install?
[14:50] <Luci4n0> tsaklidis: what brand is your soundcard?
[14:50] <fluitfries> question: does the latest version of ubuntu make a good solution for a hulu/flash video PC hooked up to a television?  last time i checked it was tricky to get flash installed correctly.  thanks!
[14:50] <SA-Geoff> guitar-maniac:  run this in a terminal:  lshw -C disk
[14:50] <organise> aeon-ltd thanks so what's /etc/init.d/gdm for then?
[14:51] <Luci4n0> Sound Blaster Augigy by any chance?
[14:51] <nnvno> So, only wipe-out or reinstall?
 don't know.. how check?
[14:51] <SA-Geoff> guitar-maniac:  it will give you a description of your drives adn should give you enough info to figure out which one is correct
[14:51] <aeon-ltd> organise: its a daemon, that controls the gnome login manager and starts X automatically on boot
[14:51] <marefenicio> ci sei
[14:52] <aeon-ltd> organise: without it you would start without X, unless you had another login manager
[14:52] <Koheleth> hi, is there a channel for the Evolution mailer on Freenode?
[14:52] <guitar-maniac> SA-Geoff: Thanks! How about that Persistent style install with Unetbootin?
[14:52] <marefenicio> \ dns _luke
[14:53] <SA-Geoff> guitar-maniac:  Not sure about that one.
[14:53] <aeon-ltd> !persistent | guitar-maniac
[14:53] <BluesKaj> fluitfries, what kind of connection to your TV?
[14:53] <aeon-ltd> !usb | guitar-maniac
[14:53] <fluitfries> BluesKaj: just a VGA...  i have no HDMI or DVI cards to use at the moment.  i'm more worried about flash...
[14:53] <Koheleth> maybe someone on here can help?  Setting up Evolution, my server uses prot 587 for smtp so would the settings for the server in the sending mail tab be mydomain.net:587
[14:54] <nnvno> Anyone?
[14:55] <evanandersen> help! my nvidia graphics drivers are not working! i installed them the regular way through the additional drivers pane
[14:55] <Luci4n0> tsaklidis: do you have gnome or kde?
[14:55] <BluesKaj> fluitfries, if you're running a 64bit Install then you might have some flash issues , but if not make sure you install flashplugin-installer and ubuntu-restricted-extras
[14:56] <Luci4n0> tsaklidis: if you have gnome, install gnome alsamixer to check if your sound may be muted.
[14:56] <fluitfries> BluesKaj: this is an older IBM workstation...  2.5 Ghz, 1 G ram...  should I use the Desktop, or Netbook ISO?
 gnome..
 it is installed
[14:57] <stickyboy> I'm trying to edit Exif tags on Ubuntu 10.10.  I swear I did it once, but Eye of Gnome doesn't seem to be able to edit them...
[14:57] <nnvno> Sorry to repeat - is there a solution to "bus error" when starting most applications?
[14:57] <Luci4n0> tsaklidis: start the mixer and check if your sound is muted somewhere
[14:57] <BluesKaj> fluitfries, desktop, but I think the "alternate install" will be best for your older hardware
it is not...
[14:57] <fluitfries> BluesKaj: thanks for your help!
[14:57] <___flazzid> how do i remove ppa's
[14:57] <BluesKaj> !alternate | fluitfries
[14:57] <pianonut> Please bear with my ignorance but I'm trying to follow ubottu's suggestion of using irc.spotchat.org to ask a linuxmint question.  All I get is a screen with the phrase:  It works!
all is full
[14:58] <bazhang> ___flazzid, ppa-purge
[14:58] <Luci4n0> tsaklidis: do have a seperate soundcard in your computer or do you use the soundcard from the motherboard?
[14:58] <bogle2000> join #ubuntu-cn
[14:59] <bazhang> bogle2000, /join
[14:59] <___flazzid> bazhang: when i tried that it says command not found
[14:59] <markturnip> How is it possible to make a script that will run as a daemon & won't quit once I stop terminal from my machine?
[15:00] <Luci4n0> pianonut: try connecting to irc.spotchat.org with your irc client.
i think it is from motherboard the laptop is not mine..
[15:00] <bazhang> ___flazzid, install it?
[15:00] <nnvno> failed command: READ DMA in kern.log - is this related to the "bus error"?
[15:00] <Luci4n0> tsaklidis: what is the brand of the laptop? and type?
[15:01] <aeon-ltd> markturnip: background it? 'commandofchoice &'
[15:02] <nnvno> OK, I see there's not much help here
[15:03] <markturnip> aeon-ltd: Ist that the only way? Some init.d/ scripts allow me to "start" then they will just run as a daemon?

[15:04] <abhifx> hi complete noob here. can someone tell me how to define port in smtp address

[15:04] <aeon-ltd> markturnip: no idea, i've never created a daemon
[15:05] <skorv> i'm a noob... but if i know what you're trying i might be able to help
[15:05] <akshay> this is the ubuntu community right?
[15:06] <bazhang> akshay, yes
[15:06] <aeon-ltd> akshay: yes
[15:06] <akshay> thanks guys :) just wanted to confirm
[15:07] <skorv> nah... its just a channel that is called #ubuntu just for the fun of it
[15:07] <skorv> :P
[15:08] <___flazzid> bazhang:  when i try to install it says "Requires installation of untrusted packages"  and it also says this when i try to install anything from the software center
[15:08] <Luci4n0> tsaklidis: more people have sound issues with vaio's ... try this in Alsamixer disable or mute the External Amplifier .. it helped other ppl with vaio's.
[15:08] <skorv> thank god i have a asus
[15:08] <bazhang> ___flazzid, go ahead and trust it
[15:09] <bazhang> skorv, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat NOT here

[15:12] <Flynsarmy> hey guys. I've set up mail server on ubuntu using tasksel. I now have to set up email aliases -<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-><EMAIL_ADDRESS>- how would i go about doing this?
[15:13] <Julia_23>  I have a system reserved  emtpy SDA1 primary NTFS 100 mb.   SDA2 is 100 gig ntfs emtpy. 3rd partition is extended 50 gig  for linux, finally 2gig swap.  I want to replace the 100 GIG ntfs with ext4 and use that partition as my home folder.... if I replace the system reserved or the SDA2 ntfs partition
[15:13] <Julia_23> Sorry, system reserved isnt empty... my bad
[15:14] <panoukla_> is there a file system that both windows and linux can use together. for example i have on HD for windows, second HD for ubuntu, and a third HD that i use for music, pictures, etc. problem is i want to host on my lamp and the "storage" hd is NTFS and doesn't play well with writing in the ubuntu install
[15:14] <panoukla_> so im thinking i could change the filesystem to play nice with both, if possible
[15:14] <Flynsarmy> panoukla_: they both work with NTFS
[15:14] <Julia_23> If i format or delete sda1/2 will I lose my grub?
[15:14] <F0sterO4> nobody?
[15:14] <Flynsarmy> panoukla_: I believe you can also get ext2 working on windows - i did a while back
[15:14] <compdoc> panoukla_, samba
[15:14] <Julia_23> see, I want to copy some of my old ubuntu files to a new 100 gig ext4
[15:14] <panoukla_> Flynsarmy, the problem im having is writing to the NTFS partition
[15:15] <Flynsarmy> panoukla_: it shoudl work out of the box
[15:15] <skorv> Julia_32: are u replacing windows system completely?
[15:15] <Pici> Flynsarmy: Modify /etc/aliases and then run sudo newaliases
[15:15] <SA-Geoff> F0sterO4, what is your question?
[15:15] <skorv> sorry 23 :P
[15:15] <Pici> Flynsarmy: See man aliases for the file format.
[15:15] <Julia_23> So I want to keep my logical 50 gig linux in tact for the time being, because I dont have any drives to back up my information
[15:15] <Julia_23> skorv
[15:16] <cyphase> ah, my phone now appears as a digital music player after that last update of the media player info files
[15:16] <rubbs> Julia_23: so just make sure I have this right. You have a 100Gb ntfs drive you want to delete and make an EXT4 drive correct?
[15:16] <Flynsarmy> Pici: I've had a look in there and it seems to take a foo: bar syntax. problem is, i need<EMAIL_ADDRESS>=><EMAIL_ADDRESS>i just enter<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>into the aliases file?
[15:16] <ndts> I'm using Rhythmbox to play music off my iPod touch and it messes up the album artwork. How can I fix this?
[15:16] <royale1233> Julia_23: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR try thsi
[15:16] <skorv> Julia_23: they are wiser than me... listen to them not to me hihi!
[15:16] <Pici> Flynsarmy: Do you receive mail from domain.com on that server?
[15:16] <rubbs> Julia_23: You are willing to lose everything on your NTFS drive?
[15:16] <Julia_23> my windows installation went bad because I never ran chdks before resizing, so I backed up what I could and transferred it to my linux partition.  now my nfts is emtty . would like to dual boot
[15:16] <Julia_23> chkdsk
[15:16] <Flynsarmy> Pici: the server receives mail for domain.com but not domain2.com
[15:17] <rubbs> Julia_23: ah, so you want to re-install windows.
[15:17] <Julia_23> maybe place windows on 20 gig
[15:17] <Julia_23> partition
[15:17] <Pici> Flynsarmy: Then just put:   foo<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[15:17] <Flynsarmy> Pici: thanks, you've been extremely helpful :)
[15:17] <Julia_23> and create a partition for grub
[15:17] <Julia_23> to avoid conflictiong os. im kind of new at this so
[15:17] <Julia_23> been researching for hours!
[15:18] <rubbs> Julia_23: I'd suggest using a partion editor to carve out the partitions you want. Then install windows on the ntfs drive. Then if grub gets messed up you can use the livecd to repair grub.
[15:18] <Julia_23> ok
[15:18] <rubbs> Julia_23: I'll see if I can dig up a link on how to repair grub... just a sec.
[15:18] <Julia_23> does it really matter if i install ubuntu first or not? if i create a small partition for bootloading
[15:19] <Julia_23> im sure i can find a grub repair link myself, but if you can find a good one then cool, 10.10 maverick
[15:19] <rubbs> Julia_23: not really. Linux second is easier because it's auto-magical. but it's possible to do windows after a linux install.
[15:19] <royale1233> Julia_23: instlling ubuntu lst will be better
[15:19] <aroman> hello, how can I record my entire desktop as a screencast with audio from my mic? Thanks!
[15:19] <Flynsarmy> Pici: last question, one needs to be forwarded to 2 places. how would I go about that? separate the addresses on the right of the : by a comma?
[15:19] <popey> aroman: recordmydesktop
[15:19] <aroman> popey: doens't that only do ogv?
[15:19] <Julia_23> see I already transferred my wubi to a 50 gig and hand to repair my grub, so im fammiliar with that, i know its different for a logical/;primary repair
[15:19] <Pici> Flynsarmy: I haven't done it myself, but the manpage for aliases suggests thats the proper syntax.
[15:19] <popey> aroman: it does, but you can convert to other formats easily
[15:20] <popey> aroman: i convert to h264, avi..
[15:20] <aroman> popey: using what software?
[15:20] <popey> aroman: ffmpeg

[15:26] <rubbs> rohitnikcool: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[15:26] <DexterLB> rohitnikcool: have you ever had xp?

[15:28] <DexterLB> rohitnikcool: you need to run reconfigure
[15:28] <rubbs> rohitnikcool: so it's a miss-label, correct? Does the winXP entry boot win7?
[15:28] <DexterLB> rohitnikcool: sudo update-grub
[15:28] <DexterLB> i've had that case,
[15:28] <DexterLB> you just need to run update-grub
[15:28] <rohitnikcool> rubbs: no i get 3 options winxp,win7 and ubuntu
[15:29] <rohitnikcool> DexterLB: i have done that
[15:29] <DexterLB> hmmm
[15:29] <DexterLB> oh so
[15:29] <DexterLB> you just want to remove xp entry right?

[15:37] <rubbs> rohitnikcool: can you copy the output of 'ls /etc/grub.d/' and the contents of /etc/grub.d/30_os-prober to a pastebin please? I may be getting close.
[15:37] <rohitnikcool> rubbs: r u there
[15:38] <rubbs> rohitnikcool: yep sorry I was reading.
[15:38] <Pici> Abhinav: You need to surround your non-command/variable statements with quotes.

 Ok I will try that
[15:38] <Pici> Abhinav: Like this; http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/555431/

[15:43] <Julia_23> QUESTION:  Is it worth encrypting your HOME partition*,  if you figure you may end up reinstalling UBUNTU

[15:44] <rubbs> rohitnikcool: thanks.
[15:45] <Julia_23> @rubbs: If your home partition is separate from your system partition, is there any point in encrypting your HOME parition, will this make it not worth the hassle of reinstalling your UBuntu os?
[15:45] <ayecee> Julia_23: sure, provided you have a backup of the data on your home partition.
[15:46] <Geli> anyone can help?
[15:46] <rubbs> rohitnikcool: I'm not seeing anything wrong. I'm not sure why grub-update didn't work. have you tried posting on ubuntu-forums? there are much better grub gurus there. I may be stumped :(
[15:46] <Geli> how can i install on an offline ubuntu an package from pen-drive??
[15:47] <ayecee> Geli: dpkg -i packagename
[15:47] <bazhang> Geli, gdebi
[15:47] <goltoof> what would i use to just record the sound currently playing? not input sound.
[15:47] <rubbs> Julia_23: I've done both. Encryption can make it harder to do a recovery if you ever have to re-install... on the other hand, that's kind of the point ;).
[15:47] <Julia_23> @ayecce aka, you can't access previously encrypted HOME partitions on fresh / new installations of UBUNTU without a hassle?
[15:47] <rohitnikcool> rubbs: yea man thanks.
[15:47] <rubbs> rohitnikcool: sorry I couldn't help more :(
[15:47] <ayecee> Julia_23: right, wouldn't be much point to encryption if you could.
[15:47] <Geli> dpkg didin't work

[15:48] <A_B_> Hi, my log files (kernel, system & messages) are growing at a phenomenal rate 400-500 kb a second. Here's a 1 second log at pastebin.com: http://pastebin.com/cyvbczyq

[15:49] <A_B_> I'm using Kubuntu 10.10 with the latest kde packages from launchpad
[15:49] <Julia_23> this kernel will self -destruct in 4
[15:49] <Julia_23> -3
[15:49] <Geli> i pressed dpkg -i mms-1.1.1 no such file or directory
[15:49] <rubbs> Julia_23: I don't encrypt my desktop, but I do on my laptop. It's really a matter of how much you want privacy vs. ease of use later on.
[15:49] <ayecee> Geli: do you have a file "mms-1.1.1" in the current directory?
[15:49] <Julia_23> rubbs: indeed
[15:49] <Geli> i have it on the desktop
[15:49] <ayecee> Geli: are you in the desktop directory?
[15:50] <Abhinav> the "echo" keyword always prints on a new line. How do I prevent it from doing that?
[15:50] <Geli> no
[15:50] <Julia_23> if i had any external storage or extra hard drives, this would not be as much of a pain in my vigina
[15:50] <ayecee> Geli: could you switch to the desktop directory and try again?
[15:50] <Geli> yes
[15:50] <Geli> minute
[15:51] <Geli> hmm case sensitive

[15:52] <Dr_Willis_> Geli:  you dont use gdebi/dpkg on .tar.gz   its for .deb packages
[15:53] <ayecee> Geli: tar.bz2? that doesn't sound like an ubuntu package.
[15:53] <Geli> oh i see

[15:54] <AnthLee> webresourc, sudo su to change to root
[15:54] <webresourc> ah !
[15:54] <ayecee> or sudo -s
[15:54] <bazhang> AnthLee, webresourc sudo -i NOT sudo su
[15:54] <balthus> webresourc: because with sudo you type your own password while with su, it expects the root one
[15:55] <AnthLee> and why not sudo su?
[15:55] <Geli> so tar.bz2 isn't good for installing a progam for Ubuntu?
[15:55] <webresourc> I am the only one person in my computer . . .
[15:55] <webresourc> and the password is the same . . .
[15:55] <smw> AnthLee, well, I would at least use sudo su -
[15:55] <webresourc> and now to return from root to my username just exti ?
[15:55] <AnthLee> webresourc, su username
[15:55] <webresourc> nice :)
[15:56] <smw> webresourc, yes
[15:56] <bazhang> !noroot
[15:56] <webresourc> thanks a lot :)
[15:56] <Dr_Willis_> Geli:  i think you may need to learn some ubuntu/linux fundamentals first
[15:56] <smw> webresourc, do not su from root back to your user.
[15:56] <Geli> i have some...
[15:56] <AnthLee> we aren't setting a root password we are getting root there is a difference
[15:56] <balthus> webresourc: on ubuntu, the root account is not active
[15:56] <bazhang> AnthLee, its not how its done here, please dont recommend it
[15:56] <Geli> i'm TRYing with linum approx 2 year
[15:56] <IdleOne> AnthLee: sudo -i for extend root privs
[15:57] <Geli> but i think tar.bz2 must be an installebale somehow
[15:57] <AnthLee> and this is why I run Debian =)
[15:58] <shazzr> Dr_Willis_: So what did you do? I've connected the printer, but it won't work.
[15:59] <Geli> hmmm i hate be internetless in ubuntu...
[15:59] <christian> holaaaaaaaaaaaa
[15:59] <Dr_Willis_> shazzr:  check the foruyms for your exact make/model printer. check  the cups.org site and linuxprinting.org site also it may give a clue if theres extra packages you need.
[15:59] <Dr_Willis_> !printing
[15:59] <smw> Geli, I also hate it when I am internetless...
[15:59] <Guest62825> holaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[16:00] <Geli> any other ideas how to install a tar.bz2 package in Ubuntu offline?
[16:00] <Dr_Willis_> Geli:  2 years? you realise a tar.gz is just an 'archive' it could be anything in there.. most likely Source code - you compile. and  if so 'yes' it would be installable. IF you compiled it.
[16:00] <Dr_Willis_> Geli:  to compile it. you sould need to download quite a few other packages first.
[16:00] <AnthLee> and compiling things is a pain Geli what program are you trying to install ?
[16:00] <Geli> my media system
[16:01] <smw> Geli, is that the name of a program?
[16:01] <Geli> yes
[16:01] <agodami> Greetz,  noob trying to download packages via ftp , but we have a darn proxy server here at work.
[16:02] <agodami> please help me get cli /usr/bin/ftp   to get some packages from ftp.perl.org   can't get it to work.
[16:02] <agodami> I've already tried setting up ENV proxy for http and ftp  no worky
[16:03] <Mike1> where am I supposed to configure X in Ubuntu 10.04? The /etc/X11/xorg.conf is deprecated, isn’t it?
[16:03] <Dr_Willis_> Mike1:  for the most part. Yes.. you can make one if you wanted
[16:03] <sacarlson> A_B_: I'm reading this and haven't found a good solution yet other than unload the cx88 module http://video4linux-list.1448896.n2.nabble.com/cx88-IRQ-loop-runaway-td1563570.html
[16:05] <sacarlson> A_B_: if it's a card try move it to a different slot seems to be a shared irq conflict problem
[16:05] <Garzooka> greetings
[16:05] <A_B_> sacarlson, I have a dvb card in the computer but i'm not using it right now, should I take it out?
[16:06] <sacarlson> A_B_: yes if you can live without it pull it
[16:06] <A_B_> sacarlson, ok, I'll give it a try. will have to log off though....
[16:06] <oCean> agodami: Can I suggest installing ncftp? Once you've installed that, and ran "ncftp" once, there's a ~/.ncftp/firewall configuration file, where you can give all the details for connecting through proxy
[16:07] <Des79> Hi all, can I get help with postfix please
[16:07] <ShootEmUp> Hi everyone!
[16:07] <balthus> !ask
[16:08] <oCean> Des79: for specific postfix, there's #postfix channel
[16:08] <Des79> I know oCean
[16:09] <agentgasmask> So why arn't you there?
[16:09] <oCean> Des79: it it's not specific, but related to ubuntu, then explain your issue (detailed in one single line) in this channel
[16:10] <Des79> I have problem with sending emails outside the box getting relay access denied , do I have to set my wan ip in mynetworks = ? any ideas
[16:13] <YankeesFan> Is ubuntu the operating system or is linux the operating system?
[16:13] <azert> hi there
[16:13] <ayecee> YankeesFan: both, for various definitions of operating system.
[16:13] <Garzooka> what us
[16:13] <joel135> Hi! Is there a by you known way of creating an iso holding the contents of a hd, saving it directly to a scp/sftp-server?
[16:13] <thebitguru> Hi, I have been playing around with samba, resintalled it a few times and now I am noticing that it is using different location for the configuration file, e.g. /var/lib/samba/secrets.tdb instead of /etc/samba/secrets.tdb.  Does anyone have any idea where that is configured?
[16:14] <Garzooka> what is the minimum Hdd and ram needed to run Linus?
[16:14] <YankeesFan> linux is the kernel right?
[16:14] <Garzooka> linux*
[16:14] <joel135> (I need to back up a messed up windows partition)
[16:14] <rumpe1> YankeesFan, yes
[16:15] <organise> hi if i remove gdm will i still be able to use gnome desktop but without the logging bit?
[16:15] <Garzooka> anyone?
[16:15] <oCean> !reqs | Garzooka
[16:16] <sacarlson> Garzooka: about 512meg ram with about 4 gig hd
[16:16] <teweWork> i use ubuntu 10.04, i have to use a http proxy with authentication with a windows domain user, i tried setting system preferences, added export http_proxy with user and password to bashrc, modified apt.conf and apt works fine, but synaptic sais Proxy Requires Authentication, it worked when i installed ubuntu but a few months ago it broke
[16:16] <Mike1> anyone have a tutorial for me on how to set up a TV-Out with the radeon driver?
[16:16] <Mike1> can’t find any real information on the internet
[16:17] <Mike1> just some configs which might, or might not work
[16:17] <ZykoticK9_> sacarlson, the minimum pages states "15GB of hard-drive space" -- i've installed onto 4GB EEE 701, it runs out of space very quickly.  Garzooka
[16:17] <azert> hi there
[16:18] <joel135> Please help me with what I wrote a couple of minutes ago :D
[16:18] <azert> what this error tell me ?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/555443/
[16:18] <ayecee> joel135: why an iso?
[16:18] <sacarlson> ZykoticK9 I also have an eeepc and it's barly big enuf
[16:18] <ayecee> joel135: why not a raw image?
[16:18] <joel135> sorry
[16:19] <Garzooka> its just that I need an os for my old pc with 20k Hdd and 50mb of ram
[16:19] <joel135> meant that
[16:19] <Mike1> Garzooka: Tiny Core Linux? :)
[16:19] <joel135> anything that lets me revert any changes made
[16:19] <A_B_> sacarlson, thanks it seems ok now....
[16:19] <AlecTaylor> Finally got around to installing Linux on my Laptop...
[16:19] <AlecTaylor> Was unable to resize partitions properly, first boot fails; need to force shutdown, wireless card isn't detected... so I reboot. Then I get this "reloc offset is out of segment" error, and am not able to boot into any OS.
[16:20] <ayecee> joel135: use dd, pipe to scp, perhaps?
[16:20] <sacarlson> A_B_: cool it might even work in a different slot
[16:20] <Da_Wrecka> This question may seem peculiar... But here's the deal. I liked the interface in Lucid UNE.  Is it possible to use the netbook interface from 10.04 in 10.10? Or am I just going to have to format my root partition and install 10.04?
[16:20] <Garzooka> I have know idea but I need another os other than dos
[16:20] <AlecTaylor> FreeDOS? :P
[16:20] <ayecee> crap. scp doesn't take - as meaning stdin.
[16:20] <IdleOne> azert: i would ask in #asterisk
[16:20] <A_B_> sacarlson, yes.. this might also explain the endless problems i've been having with the dvb card :)
[16:21] <ZykoticK9> Garzooka, 50MB of RAM is probably not enough to run Ubuntu, you should check out one of the smaller/minimal distros out there.  I'm sure the 20k HD was a typo, 20GB would be fine for Ubuntu or others.
[16:21] <joel135> how do you do that?
[16:21] <azert> are you good on * ?  IdleOne
[16:21] <ayecee> joel135: dd if=hdd_device | ssh sshserver cat > backup.file
[16:21] <IdleOne> azert: I don't know it at all sorry
[16:22] <azert> ok thanks
[16:22] <ayecee> oops, that's not quite right either.
[16:22] <Garzooka> its just silly, its been acting up since the old hdd stopped spinning up (just beeped)
[16:22] <Garzooka> I don't get whats wrong
[16:22] <sipior> ayecee: have you tried specifying "/dev/stdin" for the argument to scp?
[16:22] <IdleOne> Garzooka: sounds like a hardware problem, see ##hardware.
[16:22] <ayecee> joel135: put the "cat > backup.file" in quotes
[16:23] <ayecee> sipior: good idea
[16:23] <agodami> revising my question:   Trying to go through a  http proxy at work from my linux but so that I can ftp to perl.org to dowload packages.  I got ncftp installed, not sure how to configure the firewall  file.
[16:23] <m1chael> im trying to use fdisk for the first time to set up a new hard drive.. http://dpaste.com/329615/ # what am i doing wrong?
[16:23] <ayecee> sipior: nope, scp complains "not a regular file"
[16:23] <sipior> ayecee: works here.
[16:23] <joel135> ok. I will try that. thank you!
[16:24] <ayecee> sipior: dd if=/dev/whatever | scp /dev/stdin fileserver:remotefile ?
[16:24] <ZykoticK9> m1chael, once you reboot you should have no partitions - you deleted them all.
[16:25] <agentgasmask> Anyone know if you can use Calcurse with calDAV?
[16:25] <ayecee> sipior: if that works (and it doesn't for me), might as well scp the hard drive device directly
[16:25] <m1chael> i want to create 1 full linux partition now
[16:26] <Da_Wrecka> I'd actually recommend NOT doing that, m1chael
[16:26] <Da_Wrecka> I'd suggest you make at least two partitions; One mounted at /, and the other mounted at /home
[16:26] <ZykoticK9> m1chael, until you reboot your system is still using the old partition table, as noted in the last message "The kernel still uses the old table. The new table will be used at the next reboot"
[16:26] <joel135> wait... do I have to use the partition dev or could I use the hd dev?
[16:27] <potatotrip> hi, i need to change my wifi-adapter setting (PSP XLink mode = true), but i don't know where to find the config-file.
[16:27] <ayecee> joel135: hd dev would be better, that way you can restore the partition table and boot sector at the same time.
[16:27] <sipior> ayecee: if you're trying to pull from a disk, best to pull the partitions with partimage and then send them along with scp. or simply use pax.
[16:27] <ZykoticK9> m1chael, typically linux will use a minimum of 2 partitions, a / and a swap -- technically swap isn't required, but you usually should have one.
[16:27] <ayecee> joel135: but you could do either.
[16:27] <joel135> great
[16:28] <Da_Wrecka> My recommendation; Three partitions, one for /, one for /home, and one swap. Unless you're forgoing swap, which can be done with enough RAM.
[16:28] <ayecee> joel135: sipior's got a point, partimage would be better, but what I've described will still work.
[16:29] <joel135> ok
[16:29] <Dr_Willis_> I always put at least a 512mb swap on any HD. just in case I use a live cd. :) they can use it.
[16:29] <ayecee> I wouldn't recommend partimage for a damaged filesystem, though.
[16:29] <induz_>  i need some help on OOffice templet making, basically i want to store/save a Service form so that i can fillup the info when i open it i am using OO3 with Lucid
[16:29] <Da_Wrecka> I'm not using swap on my netbook right now, but that's because it's running off a USB hard disk since the internal hard disk has failed
[16:30] <joel135> do I need to be root?
[16:30] <ayecee> joel135: yes, definitely.
[16:30] <ayecee> joel135: the partition on the hard drive should not be mounted either. this is something you'd normally do from a livecd.
[16:30] <potatotrip> hi, i need to change my wifi-adapter setting (PSP XLink mode = true), but i don't know where to find the config-file.  i really got stuck here...
[16:30] <joel135> I am
[16:31] <michaelxq> how can i install a windows program?
[16:31] <Dr_Willis_> !wine | michaelxq
[16:31] <bazhang> michaelxq, via wine check the appdb and join #winehq
[16:31] <undecim> induz_: I think #openoffice.org could offer better assistance. Not many people on that channel though. Perhaps the OOo forums?
[16:32] <sacarlson> potatotrip: my guess is you can make that change in your wifi adapter with the iwconfig  command
[16:32] <michaelxq> bazhang, thanks
[16:32] <michaelxq> Dr_Willis_, thank you
[16:32] <organise> hi i've got autologin setup but whenever i kill X, the window manager restarts but goes to the gdm login screen i want it to just autologin how can i do this?
[16:33] <potatotrip> thx, sacarlson, i'll try that
[16:33] <ayecee> organise: I'm kind of curious to know myself.
[16:33] <newb1> hello i wastrying to load ubuntu  10.10 after xp  and it got hung in the install and i can't boot into xp ...just get the xp
[16:33] <undecim> organise: I think that's to prevent GDM from going into an infinite loop...
[16:34] <undecim> organize: I think you can add a timed login in addition to the auto-login
[16:34] <Guest72987> hello
[16:34] <undecim> organize: That way when X dies, it will wait a few seconds, but it will auto-log back in
[16:34] <kill> dafadf
[16:34] <kill> opo kie cah???
[16:34] <kill> :o
[16:35] <ayecee> undecim: I haven't seen it autologin on restart, only on first start. maybe that's changed recently.
[16:35] <balthus> michaelxq: you should also have a look at Playonlinux, it can handle tricky windows apps that require extra installation in order to function properly
[16:35] <Pici> !id | kill
[16:35] <joel135> It seems to be working. There shouldn't be any text output, right?
[16:35] <ayecee> joel135: right
[16:35] <organise> timed logins doesn't solve the problem
[16:36] <michaelxq> balthus, thank you
[16:36] <ayecee> joel135: the reverse operation is similar, but even easier: ssh fileserver "cat backup.file" > hdd_device
[16:36] <michaelxq> balthus, i'll try it :)
[16:36] <undecim> organize: GImme a minute and I'll see if there is an option in the GDM conf file.
[16:36] <joel135> ok
[16:37] <ne2k> joel135: ayecee: you shouldn't use cat for diskimages, you should use dd and tune the blocksize to the HDD buffer size for maximum efficiency
[16:38] <sacarlson> potatotrip: also lood at iwpriv command
[16:38] <ayecee> ne2k: I don't think it would make a dramatic difference in this case. the network is likely the bottleneck.
[16:38] <joel135> it is. 2.8MiB/s
[16:38] <undecim> organise: If that can't be done, you could always start X directly as your desired user with inittab, and forget about GDM completely
[16:39] <organise> undecim hmm might try that how would i do that is it just /etc/init.d/X start ?
[16:39] <ayecee> ne2k: besides, read-ahead and async writes will take care of most of the difference even if the network were faster.
[16:40] <undecim> organise: First you have to setup ~/.xinitrc to start gnome (or whatever DE you're using) then put the line in inittab to run it
[16:40] <ne2k> ayecee: dd is the correct tool
[16:40] <ayecee> ne2k: dd is a correct tool
[16:42] <undecim> organise: Are you using Gnome? (i.e. the default Ubuntu desktop)
[16:42] <coder2> any hacking stuff for debian??
[16:42] <undecim> coder2: "Hacking stuff".... Either you should be in a programming channel, or you watch too many movies.

[16:46] <duelle> Good evening! I have a quite strange problem concerning ndiswrapper and my WLAN usb stick. I got the usb stick running but after reboot it refuses to do so. So i have to reinstall. And if i'm lucky it works ... but I'm not always lucky :(
[16:46] <schnuffle> aree: elaborate
[16:46] <joel135> popey: is it the "laptop lid"?
[16:47] <sacarlson> aree: I guess you can use nat on openvpn but it's not the same it's a network tunnel/bridging tool
[16:47] <popey> joel135: in system -> preferences -> power manager (I think that's what it's called - I am not on an ubuntu box right now)
[16:47] <dury> about avidemux...is it possible to start creating a video with this application as you start a new document in a word proccessing application?
[16:47] <joel135> ok
[16:47] <joel135> could anyone tell me what a "laptop lid" is?
[16:48] <Julia_23> can anyone here pm me, I need some help with Ubuntu partition options

[16:48] <popey> joel135: the bit with the screen in
[16:48] <duelle> joel135: usually it is the thing where the lcd is in .. a kind of metaphor for an eye
[16:48] <dury> I mean add images, transitions, and music
[16:48] <Julia_23> hehe
[16:48] <Dr_Willis_> joel135:  you mean the powersettings refering to the lid switch?
[16:48] <aree> well i try to explain  my problem i got a public IP on a pc without router with nat setting on my vbox, host ubuntu guest centos ayecee schnuffle sacarlson
[16:48] <joel135> correct

[16:51] <dury> avidemux video editor application.... any users in this channel?
[16:51] <akshay> hi
[16:52] <dury> is there specific channel
[16:52] <ZykoticK9> dury, i think Pitivi or another video editor would be better suited to your needs then avidemux (which i use, but not for transitions and music as you are requesting)
[16:52] <cyb3r> is there any way to do it through the konsole
[16:52] <cyb3r> ?
[16:52] <duelle> I have a quite strange problem concerning ndiswrapper and my WLAN usb stick. I got the usb stick running but after reboot it refuses to do so. So i have to reinstall the driver with ndiswrapper. And if i'm lucky it works ... but I'm not always lucky :(  So sometimes I have to reboot several times until it works ..
[16:53] <sacarlson> aree: just set virtualbox to bridge mode?
[16:54] <Dr_Willis_> dury:  check the aps homepage. it may have a channel.. or ask a more specific question abut it in here.
[16:54] <dury> What's wrong with avidemux Zykoyick9?
[16:54] <ZykoticK9> dury, nothings wrong with avidemux
[16:55] <dury> Zykotick9: why you recommend me Pitivi
[16:55] <ZykoticK9> dury, for transitions and music it's not ideal - i use it more for basic cut/paste

[17:26] <Julia_23> A popular way to circumvent OS boot loader incompatibilities is to install a small,  independent "boot" partition (must be a primary partition) in which one  specific bootloader is permanently stored. The MBR is then permanently  set to always refer to the partition of this primary bootloader (and is  never allowed to be changed or to refer to the partition of any other  bootloader). This primary bootloader (in the boot partition) lo
[17:27] <tehbaut> ayecee, I would venture to say it usually happens around the same spots
[17:27] <ayecee> saulus: ddrescue doesn't copy files, but it may be able to recover enough of the filesystem to recover the files within.
[17:27] <ayecee> tehbaut: it seems likely that the drive is taking to long to respond when it's rereading the questionable sectors.
[17:27] <ayecee> so linux resets the drive, and rediscovers it.

[17:45] <sipior> sugoruyo: do what you want, i don't care.
[17:45] <miro_> hi i reinstalled grub on my wubi partition accidentally, now i can see grub menu at startup, i can go to windows but hen i select ubuntu, my computer being rebooted. how can i fix this?
[17:45] <sipior> sugoruyo: mac os x is nice.
[17:46] <jayz33> undecim: Thanks much for the quick tutorial! :D
[17:46] <Guest65971> ayecee: Nope. Still it looks like unallocated space. Maybe this is related but few days ago it stopped booting. It started the bios and then restarted. I reinstalled grub from live cd and everything was working till yesterday as I was performing dist updated and some hanges.
[17:46] <ayecee> Guest65971: I'm confused. fdisk -l shows partitions, but gparted shows all unallocated space on /dev/sda ?
[17:47] <Guest65971> ayecee: excacly.
[17:47] <ayecee> Guest65971: you're running gparted as root as well?
[17:47] <bobhope> join #git
[17:47] <Guest65971> ayecee: yes.
[17:48] <bobhope> Hi, I just discovered that for the past few weeks I've been commiting to no branch, and I want to take all of my history and move it to the master branch
[17:48] <bobhope> What's the easiest way to do this?
[17:48] <miro_> hi i reinstalled grub on my wubi partition accidentally, now i can see grub menu at startup, i can go to windows but hen i select ubuntu, my computer being rebooted. how can i fix this?
[17:48] <sipior> bobhope: i think you meant that for the folks in #git :-)
[17:49] <bobhope> sipior, yep, didn't notice
[17:49] <duffolonious> is this the correct place for natty questions?
[17:49] <ayecee> Guest65971: when you run gparted from terminal, do you see any messages in the terminal?
[17:49] <sipior> duffolonious: no, but have a look in #ubuntu+1
[17:49] <undecim> duffolonious: #ubuntu+1
[17:49] <duffolonious> thanks guys
[17:50] <Guest65971> ayecee: Right now I am booting into ubuntu installed on the hdd (the one I want to reinstall).
[17:50] <jshriver> greetings
[17:50] <nicolina> i followed the tutorial about multidistro boot from PXE, but i am not able to boot any distro!!
[17:50] <jshriver> is it possible to configure the network settings without the gnome network manager? this is for a server and I really don't want to rely on X for anything
[17:50] <nicolina> i press enter on opensuse and nothing appens
[17:50] <nicolina> *happens
[17:51] <ayecee> Guest65971: ok. in any case, someone had a similar problem to you, and found that the drive had overlapping partitions. It may be relevant to your case: http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=1161
[17:51] <nicolina> the initrd.,lnux is the right place..
[17:51] <ayecee> Guest65971: I have to attend to other things. good luck!
[17:51] <miro_> can anybody help me? when i try to go ubuntu from grub, its rebooting
[17:51] <sipior> jshriver: absolutely. have a look in /etc/network/interfaces, and "man interfaces"
[17:51] <Guest65971> ayecee: I will check that out. Thank you.

[17:52] <undecim> miro_: Wubi tends to have a lot of boot problems... Unfortunately, not a lot of people are experience with Wubi.
[17:52] <JasonSN> Why won't my movies play?
[17:52] <undecim> miro_: Do you have multiple Ubuntu options in grub, or just one?
[17:52] <JasonSN> I installed restricted-extras and my movies still won't play...
[17:52] <undecim> JasonSN: What is the file extension on the movie?
[17:52] <JasonSN> undecim: How do I see that?
[17:53] <undecim> The movie has a file name... like "movie.avi"
[17:53] <undecim> In that example, the file extension is ".avi"
[17:53] <JasonSN> .mp2?
[17:53] <JasonSN> wait
[17:53] <JasonSN> .bup, .ifo, .vob
[17:53] <JasonSN> .vob is the most popular one it seems
[17:54] <undecim> JasonSN: Have you tried using VLC?
[17:54] <miro_> undecim, i have one. i accidentally blow up my mbr. than i reinstalled it. at now.i  can go to windows but when i select ubuntu computer reboots... i think i broke grub which stays at *wubi disk file*
[17:54] <JasonSN> I am using VLC right now
[17:55] <JasonSN> It not working or I am just not doing something right
[17:55] <undecim> miro_: Alrigh.  Please try again." :S :S
[17:56] <NooBoontoo> I keep getting the same message in the terminal...
[17:56] <NooBoontoo> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/8JAD3Xvw
[17:56] <dury> hi there channel :) success with pitivi video editor :)
[17:56] <JasonSN> yes
[17:56] <NooBoontoo> Is there a way to fix this?
[17:56] <undecim> JasonSN: It appears to be encrypted then... You will need libdvdcss from the medibuntu repos
[17:57] <undecim> JasonSN: Then you should be able to play it with any player
[17:57] <undecim> JasonSN: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#Playing%20Encrypted%20DVDs
[17:58] <Guest65971> ayecee: It is exacly the same as in the link. One more question. Do you knew the software that the person is reffering to? The "testdisk". I can't find it in a live cd or repositories.
[17:58] <JasonSN> Still not working
[17:58] <miro_> undecim, i start computer with livecd, than i mounted my wubi disk file. after that i used grub-install command, to install grub on wubi partititon. (it overwrite boot folder i think). i restarted computeri, noting worked. After that i start with livecd again, installed lilo and give command lilo fix-mbr (or something like this). it fixed my mbr. I can reach windows and see grub menu. But i think when i used grub-install command i broke my grub on wubi disk. so
[17:58] <miro_>  can see my grub menu but  i cant go to ubuntu..
[17:59] <Guest65971> Or maybe someone knows how to fix "Can't have overlapping partitions" problem?
[17:59] <undecim> miro_: Okay, I think I see what the problem is...
[18:00] <undecim> miro_: See, wubi uses grub4dos, but you installed grub.
[18:00] <NooBoontoo> I feel hopeless
[18:00] <JasonSN> k, got it working now
[18:00] <JasonSN> thanks
[18:00] <undecim> miro_: Which would have been fine on a normal install, but not so great for Wubi.
[18:00] <sda_> hi all, i have a problem, my desktop doesn't suspend, how can i fix it? (Amd-x6 Asrock MB)
[18:00] <bencahill> NooBoontoo: don't worry, we've all been there at some point in time. :)
[18:01] <undecim> miro_: You'll have to give me a minute to look up some stuff about grub4dos... I've never used it much.
[18:01] <miro_> undecim, okay, i am reading boot problems about wubi now too
[18:02] <wpecker> .
[18:02] <undecim> miro_: Do you ever get to a prompt that looks like "sh:grub>"
[18:02] <undecim> miro_: ?*
[18:03] <miro_> undecim, before i fix my mbr with lilo, i was getting grub rescue prompt
[18:03] <wpecker> Hi, can someone help me understand why this rt61 driver doesn't compile on Karmic? Here is the make output: http://pastebin.com/ApeYXpjz
[18:03] <undecim> miro_: I think you will need to reinstall grub4dos from windows
[18:04] <ezra-s> wpecker, looks like a bug in the code or incompatbility with the kernel code
[18:04] <wpecker> ezra-s, thank you but is there a way I can solve this?
[18:04] <ezra-s> wpecker, judging by the output only
[18:05] <wpecker> changing the filepaths in makefile etc?
[18:05] <ezra-s> wpecker, no idea, try checking the info or requirements in the place where you got the sourcecode
[18:05] <wpecker> they say this project is no longer supported

[18:07] <chris_29> if i go use the live cd it takes like 10 minutes to get it to work
[18:08] <sda_> hi all, i have a problem, my desktop doesn't suspend, how can i fix it? (Amd-x6 Asrock MB)
[18:08] <JackyAlcine> sda_; suspend's a sloppy feature of the X11 server. don't expect too much.
[18:08] <bencahill> did anyone answer me while I was gone? :P
[18:09] <chris_29> was using ubuntu 10.10
[18:09] <sda_> JackyAlcine,  so i canot put my computer in powersafe mode i can only turn it off?
[18:10] <wpecker> anyone using rt61 wifi?
[18:10] <JackyAlcine> sda_: I was referring to sleep, but you should be able to "hibernate". And you should be able to do that

[18:13] <sda_> JackyAlcine, Hibernate need almost the same time as turn it on, the only difference is I can keep work as before, but i only need low power for don't wait too much from a session of work and another, i waste 40W anyways if i don't UNPLUG the computer from the electric network so i prefer waste them without turn off my pc and have a very fast "start"
[18:13] <NooBoontoo> Please.... help me

[18:14] <Daekdroom> bencahill, killall gnome-panel
[18:14] <Daekdroom> It'll automatically come back if you didn't modify the GNOME session that comes by default
[18:14] <bencahill> Daekdroom: thx :)

[18:15] <bencahill> !patience | zion_
[18:16] <NooBoontoo> bencahill: What else can I do?
[18:16] <bencahill> NooBoontoo: why are you trying to run it from terminal?
[18:16] <Raqn> Hey there. I have a problem with a External HDD. It mounts fine on this compiuter, but it won't mount on my PC, it says that it lacks the permissions to install them. This computer is running 10.10, and the one it wont mount on is 10.04. Anyone got any solutions?
[18:16] <bencahill> NooBoontoo: ...and why does it need to be run as root?
[18:16] <NooBoontoo> bencahill: either way, it wont run
[18:17] <bencahill> NooBoontoo: ^^ does it need to be run as root?
[18:17] <NooBoontoo> bencahill: I am running the program from terminal to have a debug output
[18:17] <bencahill> root, root, root?
[18:17] <NooBoontoo> bencahill: no, not even as normal user works
[18:17] <robbit10> bencahill: About !patience: When you have asked a question and about 10 minutes have passed, is it okay to ask again?
[18:18] <brack9> What's the name of the Ubuntu package with the complete set of Oxygen icons including the SVG sources?
[18:18] <bencahill> robbit10: not an op, but I would say if it's been 10 minutes, rephrase your question and you can ask again. don't ask more than two or three times in an hour, come back at a later time, or figure it out yourself. again, just my opinion though, don't know what the ops think :)
[18:18] <brack9> oxygen-icon-theme-complete seems to just have some of the 256x256 PNGs
[18:18] <Karen_m> how do you fix wifi for a 3945abg?
[18:18] <fission6> i am sshed into an ubunutu machine and when i connect i am immediatly attached to a screen session, when i do ctrl+a d to detach and get a prompt, my ssh session is closed, how can i ssh in and get a prompt
[18:20] <undecim> fission6: What prompt do you have in the screen session?
[18:20] <fission6> what do you mean prompt
[18:20] <NooBoontoo> Is there a way to reset a GPU?
[18:21] <undecim> fission6: Usually, screen will start your default shell
[18:21] <undecim> fission6: What do you see in the screen session?
[18:21] <NooBoontoo> thx anyway.....
[18:21] <fission6> right, echo $0 shows /bin/bash
[18:21] <fission6> undecim: ^
[18:21] <undecim> fission6: What's wrong with this prompt?
[18:22] <xiven> Has Canonical changed (customized, patched) Ubuntu much  at the networking & hosts level?
[18:22] <fission6> what do you mean? nothing, my pain is that when i do ctrl+a d to detach, i dont get a prompt i get my ssh session closed
[18:22] <zion_> i got error when im trying to mount my harddisk:Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13... anyone can help me with it????
[18:22] <dury> Zykotick9: just create my first video using pitivi :) great
[18:22] <fission6> i want to detach from screen when i login
[18:23] <undecim> fission6: You could try killing the screen session with "exit 1", which depending on the script behind the auto-started screen session, may drop you to the bash shell... but that's not a detachment.
[18:23] <fission6> well how can i see the script behind the screen session maybe that will let me know why i am getting booted
[18:23] <fission6> is that bashrc
[18:23] <undecim> fission6: Pastebin it?
[18:23] <undecim> fission6: And then I can have a look
[18:24] <fission6> which bashrc
[18:24] <undecim> depends... probably /etc/bash.bashrc or /etc/bashrc.
[18:24] <undecim> fission6: Or /etc/profile, or ~/.bashrc, or /.bash_profile....
[18:25] <undecim> fission6: Just look at each of those for one that starts screen
[18:25] <fission6> right ok ill review thank you undecim
[18:26] <niklasfi> hi... i have a network problem. i can ping ip addresses on my network but i cannot reach the internet. http://pastebin.com/CXmaBa9E this is my interfaces file. What am i doing wrong?
[18:26] <fission6> undecim: none of them show screen
[18:26] <fission6> even did a grep on everything in ~
[18:27] <Raqn> Ok, I have just looked at the HDD and tried to mount it using Disk uyility, and its still saying "Permission Denied". I really need to get some files from this drive, anyone got any clues why its not working?
[18:27] <undecim> fission6: What is the output of "grep /etc/passwd $USER"?
[18:27] <ZykoticK9> dury, :)
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> niklasfi: add: nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>  to /etc/resolv
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> Oops
[18:27] <undecim> fission6: Or even "echo $SHELL"
[18:28] <fission6> its bin/bash
[18:28] <undecim> niklasfi: What is on Ip address <IP_ADDRESS>?
[18:28] <fission6> btw this is sshing from a mac so the screen binding is ctrl+] d
[18:29] <niklasfi> undecim that is my router/adsl modem
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> niklasfi: add it to /etc/resolv.conf
[18:29] <undecim> fission6: see if you can find what is starting screen with "pstree | less"
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> niklasfi: does the web then work?
[18:30] <undecim> niklasfi: Follow ActionParsnip's advice with /etc/resolv
[18:30] <buggyer> hi, if i use phpldapadmin on the ldap server itself i cannot login. if i use phpldapadmin from a remote machine logging in works... do i have to config phpldapadmin on the server, i didnt conf anything on remote machine. except domain for sure.
[18:30] <niklasfi> ActionParsnip: changed /etc/resolv ... but the problem is not that dns does not work. even pinging the actual ip is not working
[18:31] <fission6> nothing shows up for that command undecim
[18:31] <ajwill> hi all, I have a problem: I use a program for my schooling called FirstClass, and I'm having a problem, I can save attachments and then open them, but when I attempt to just open them, it appears all the program does is save the file to my tmp folder for firstclass and then sits there, it doesnt open the file with OOo like it should... help?
[18:31] <undecim> fission6: Guess there is no pstree on this system then :/
[18:31] <ActionParsnip> niklasfi: bah
[18:31] <DdOo> Hello, is there a software to learn english in Ubuntu ?
[18:31] <DdOo> please
[18:32] <buggyer> DdOo: theres commercial java software, but i know them only for german -> english.
[18:32] <fission6> well this is odd
[18:32] <ezra-s> ajwill, sounds like the program has a bug, can you open other files of any type with ooo?
[18:32] <undecim> fission6: Did you exit the screen with "exit 1" yet?
[18:32] <fission6> no
[18:32] <fission6> what does that do
[18:32] <ajwill> ezra-s: yeah, ooo is working perfectly fine, I can open files save edit etc
[18:32] <buggyer> DdOo: http://www.sprachenlernen24.de/
[18:32] <DdOo> buggyer, I'm french, but what's the software ?
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> Ddoo: there are educational games in the repos. Depends on the level
[18:33] <undecim> fission6: Exits with an error code. If you're lucky, that will drop you to the shell
[18:33] <undecim> fission6: unless the server is configured to go straight to screen
[18:33] <fission6> undecim: nope just dropped the session window
[18:33] <ezra-s> ajwill, I'd say the program you use has a bug and there is nothing wrong with your system by the sound of what you mention...
[18:33] <undecim> fission6: It may be an SSH configuration
[18:33] <DdOo> ActionParsnip, I need vocabulary :) and past grammar
[18:34] <fission6> that is likely
[18:34] <undecim> fission6: Can you view /etc/ssh/sshd_config?
[18:34] <fission6> how can i check that
[18:34] <agentgasmask> I try to check the "checkbox" next to my caldav calendar in evolution and it just flashes for a milisecond. When I try to add an appointment and use the dropdown to select the caldav calendar, it says "Unable to open the calendar". Any help?
[18:34] <ajwill> ezra-s: okay, the thing is I've never had this specific problem before, and I even tried totally uninstalling the program and reinstalling it... still got nothing
[18:34] <undecim> niklasfi: Are you able to get internet access with other machines on the same network?
[18:35] <DdOo> buggyer, thanks, but yes, it's for german only :(
[18:35] <DdOo> ActionParsnip, which educational software please ?
[18:35] <fluitfries> does flash video streaming perform worse under ubuntu than under windows?  it seems choppy in a brand new ubuntu desktop install.  any tips?
[18:35] <fission6> i dont see anything in for screen in ssh config
[18:36] <niklasfi> undecim: i am currently on an ubuntu machine in that network however doing "cat /etc/networking/interfaces" just gives the loopback adapter... there must be something magical going on
[18:36] <undecim> niklasfi: If it's a default desktop install, then that is all handle by network-manager.
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> Ddoo: not specifically sure, try searching software-centre
[18:36] <niklasfi> undecim: just an hour ago i had debian working on that machine with networking
[18:36] <niklasfi> undecim: well this new one is an arm board... no gui...
[18:37] <undecim> hmm...
[18:37] <buggyer> DdOo: http://freshmeat.net/projects/lingoteach/
[18:37] <undecim> can I get a pastebin of "service --status-all"?
[18:38] <fission6> may be i should ask in ssh undecim
[18:38] <undecim> niklasfi: Actually, now that I ask for the pastebin, I realize that's an unreasonable request, lol
[18:38] <undecim> fission6: go for it
[18:38] <DdOo> buggyer, thanks, I will test it
[18:38] <fission6> thanks for you rhelp
