[00:00] <ActionParsnip> bjrohan: if you run:  smbtree   on the desktop, do you see the shares as your laptop showed it's shares
[00:00] <ActionParsnip> bjrohan: can you please prefix the texts to me with my nick, its easier to spot replies
[00:00] <tlhonmey> Arthur__: You might try the install CDs for a couple of different distros first, and try making a bootable USB device. some of them use different bootloaders.
[00:01] <alejandro> test
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> bjrohan: use TAB to autocomplete nicks
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> !test | alejandro
[00:01] <Arthur__> i have a class and they are teaching ubuntu so i was going to use the same thing on my machine for now
[00:01] <alejandro> #test
[00:02] <_Marcus> alejandro: Ubottu mean's the channel.
[00:03] <Arthur__> thanks for the help i will play with it and see what is the issue
[00:03] <tlhonmey> Arthur__: well, try making a bootable USB, that might fix it.  If that doesn't work, removing the drive is usually only a couple of screws.
[00:04] <bjrohan> ActionParsnip: here is what I get running smbtree from the desktop: http://paste.ubuntu.com/854747/
[00:04] <bjrohan> ActionParsnip: thanks for the tab trick
[00:04] <RenatoSilva> how to disable recent files tracking?
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> bjrohan: tab works in cli too :)
[00:05] <ActionParsnip> bjrohan: ok, did you configure the local firewalls on the systems at all?
[00:06] <bjrohan> Actually not the one on my laptop, how do I do that?
[00:06] <the_cops> I heard someone in here was pirating the latest ubuntu, if this is true please cut it out.
[00:06] <RenatoSilva> ActionParsnip: thanks for the guest tip
[00:06] <DonaldShimoda> hi, i need to uninstall a builded kernel, or avoid dkms to build modules for it
[00:06] <DonaldShimoda> çhow to do?
[00:06] <DonaldShimoda> is a own builded kernel, not ubuntu kernel
[00:06] <bjrohan> ActionParsnip: actually not on my laptop, how do I do that?
[00:06] <StevenX> Does anyone here use fail2ban? I can figure out if I have if configured right for my ssh server.
[00:06] <tlhonmey> DonaldShimoda: Try make uninstall in the source directory and see what it does.
[00:06] <ActionParsnip> bjrohan: but you configured it on the desktop?
[00:07] <DonaldShimoda> tlhonmey, make uninstall do nothing
[00:07] <DonaldShimoda> tlhonmey, the problem is now fglrx package failed to install because cannot build with 3.2 ....
[00:08] <DonaldShimoda> tlhonmey, anyway to exclude 3.2 from dkms (jockey)?
[00:08] <bjrohan> ActionParsnip: I believe so. I had access set up before, all worked well, then I did a few things on my laptop and lost connection for file sharing, so it must be that I did something on the laptop. I will google, and check laptop firewall settings
[00:09] <tlhonmey> DonaldShimoda: I'm sure there is, but I don't know what it is off the top of my head.  try man dkms.
[00:09] <ActionParsnip> bjolders: i'd look into the firewall
[00:10] <UnclNastyFingerz> ok so im trying to kompile a kernel to have support for a serial IR port, what modules do i need?
[00:10] <amaroks> Hi Guys
[00:11] <amaroks> anyone around?
[00:11] <ActionParsnip> amaroks: nobody at all
[00:11] <CFHowlett> amaroks   no.
[00:11] <amaroks> nice
[00:11] <bazhang> amaroks, ubuntu support issue?
[00:11] <DonaldShimoda> tlhonmey, uninstall -m <module> -v <module-version>... how to know the module version...
[00:11] <amaroks> Goodnight :D I was just trying out IRC on empathy
[00:11] <tlhonmey> UnclNastyFingerz: I don't remember the names, but the ones that are available are labeled as such if you go through the options in make menuconfig.
[00:12] <amaroks> someone says my name please
[00:12] <Canadian1296> amaroks:
[00:12] <amaroks> That is cool
[00:12] <amaroks> nice notifications
[00:12] <amaroks> I used ubuntu for 1 month
[00:12] <amaroks> then back to windows because I needed photoshop
[00:12] <UnclNastyFingerz> its on a KDE box obviously, hence the Kompiler if i were on gnome i would be using gCompiler
[00:12] <amaroks> then I couldnt continue on windows!
[00:12] <amaroks> missed back ubuntu
[00:13] <amaroks> and this week Im back forever I guess
[00:13] <amaroks> I felt locked in windows
[00:13] <bazhang> amaroks, actual support question?
[00:13] <tlhonmey> DonaldShimoda: I'm not sure.  I'm not finding a good set of instructions anywhere.  Mostly, to uninstall a kernel you just need to delete all its files.
[00:13] <gsr> amaroks: plus you can run windows apps with wine, and windows itself in virtualbox
[00:14] <amaroks> yeah gsr, just installed some with wine, works well, they dont look best though
[00:14] <amaroks> anyway to have them look a bit better?
[00:14] <Afzal> amaroks, photoshop cs5 (portable) runs great here on wine
[00:14] <gsr> i just use Virtualbox in seamless mode
[00:14] <RenatoSilva> how to disable recent files tracking? what's the replacement for ~/.gtkrc-2.0?
[00:15] <Canadian1296> I need some help with ssh and sftp
[00:15] <Canadian1296> Here or #ubuntu-server?
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> amaroks: why not dual boot
[00:15] <kc4zvw_> ActionParsnip: after installing XFCE how to make it default sesion?
[00:15] <gsr> Canadian1296,  is it a server side or client side question
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> Canadian1296: why not both :)
[00:16] <Canadian1296> gsr: Server side, but you guys respond faster
[00:16] <Canadian1296> ActionParsnip: Okay I will
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> kc4zvw_: log off and select the xfce session, the last session will be set as default for the user
[00:16] <amaroks> ActionParsnip I have dual boot, I just hate windows not sure why
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> amaroks: or use Gimp in Ubuntu, its pretty decent
[00:16] <kc4zvw_> ActionParsnip: roger and thanks
[00:16] <amaroks> and I hate switching always,Gimp couldn't love it
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> kc4zvw_: anytime, thanks for the gratitude :)
[00:17] <amaroks> didn't do well as Photoshop
[00:17] <gsr> Gimp is decent, but it doesn't really compare to photoshop
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> amaroks: due to experience by any chance...
[00:17] <amaroks> even Photoshop 8 CS does much more than Gimp
[00:17] <UnclNastyFingerz> does anyone know the modules needed for serial IR ports?  tlhonmey: i get that I need to make menuconfig im in it as we speak
[00:17] <haux> I have a couple of ext4 partitions, where if I right click on them in ubuntu, and check the permissions, they only show "root" as the user and no other options. I cannot write to these partitions. Can anyone tell me how to correct this?
[00:17] <amaroks> well i tried to learn some, just seems to do less
[00:18] <npope_> haux: google chown
[00:18] <tlhonmey> RenatoSilva you might have more luck asking in #gnome
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> haux: add them in /etc/fstab and set better access
[00:18] <humungulous> Canadian1296: waiting for your ssh/sftp question
[00:19] <amaroks> Thanks and Good night people
[00:19] <tlhonmey> UnclNastyFingerz: There are a few sections of hardware drivers in there, the IR port drivers will be in one of them.  Unfortunately I don't recall which one.
[00:19] <haux> I think chown is going to work here, as long as it works for entire partitions. Thank you!
[00:19] <bjrohan> join #ubuntu+1
[00:19] <urfr332gO> bjrohan, /join
[00:19] <zykotick9> haux: change the permission on the mount points
[00:19] <bjrohan> got it :)
[00:20] <ActionParsnip> haux: chown -R    for recursive
[00:20] <tlhonmey> haux: chown will work on /dev files, and with -R will work on all files in a partition, either way.
[00:20] <supermun> my touchpad and touchpad click buttons are not working. will someone help me troubleshoot?
[00:20] <supermun> ubuntu 11.10
[00:20] <zykotick9> tlhonmey: i believe trying to chmod /dev will be reset after a reboot
[00:20] <haux> So like, chown -R /dev/sdc1 haux ?
[00:21] <tlhonmey> zykotick9: generally speaking, yes.
[00:21] <npope_> haux: give it a user
[00:21] <humungulous> i think haux's problem is theyre not mounted correctly in the first place
[00:21] <Canadian1296> I need to confine certain users to their home directory in sftp. I have everything set up (they can't execute a shell, only sftp.) I need to confine them to their home (they are in the group "sftponly"). I'm using "Match group sftphosting
[00:21] <Canadian1296>         ChrootDirectory %h" to do so, but as soon as I add that i can't log in (I get "Write failed: broken pipe"
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> haux: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /mount/point      not the block device
[00:21] <tlhonmey> haux: that will change the permissions on the device allowing the user in question control of what to do with them.  It's probably not what you're wanting to do.
[00:21] <Canadian1296> Sorry that took so long, I was typing
[00:22] <DonaldShimoda> tlhonmey, yeah! deleting modules domthe trick, thanks! will reboot and see
[00:22] <DonaldShimoda> bye
[00:22] <tlhonmey> Canadian1296: the chroot you create will need the files and programs necessary to login and initiate the transfer.
[00:22] <humungulous> ^^^ yes this
[00:23] <lorecaster> Hail, all. While trying to get my BLUE SNOWBALL microphone installed (which it still is not) in the sound properties, and selected as my default microphone, I lost my speakers... soundcard now reads "dummy". I assume it's not trying to hurt my feelings, can anyone give me a hand?
[00:23] <haux> tlhonmey, that's pretty much what I'm trying to accomplish. Right now I simply can't write to them (without sudo), because root is set as the owner.
[00:23] <supermun> can someone help me troubleshoot why my touchpad and touchpad left right clicks are not working?
[00:23] <haux> ActionParsnip, maybe I'm confused about what you mean by mount point. Is /dev/sdc1 not a mount point?
[00:23] <Canadian1296> So what do I have to do? I need to bind them to /var/www/hosting/theirusername so they can edit the contents of their server directory but nothign else.
[00:24] <tlhonmey> haux: that's an artifice of how they are mounted.  Try the uid and gid mount options to allow usage by non-root people.
[00:24] <blumonkey> can i do a md5checksum on an ubuntu distro thats already burned to a disc
[00:24] <glen_3b> haux: A mount point is where you access the device contents, for example /media/cdrom might be a cdrom mount point
[00:25] <tlhonmey> haux: /dev/sdc1 is the raw device.
[00:25] <humungulous> Canadian1296: read here about chrooting shell users http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/opensource/chroot-users-with-openssh-an-easier-way-to-confine-users-to-their-home-directories/229
[00:25] <Afzal> can someone send me the output of their groups command plz?
[00:25] <humungulous> blumonkey: md5sum the .iso you burned it from
[00:25] <log> Afzal: logan adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
[00:26] <Afzal> log, thanks!
[00:26] <log> Afzal: You're welcome.
[00:26] <glen_3b> Afzal: glen root adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare subversion vboxusers androiddevs
[00:26] <humungulous> blumonkey: there is also a disc integrity check built in to the top menu when you boot into the disk
[00:26] <Canadian1296> humungulous: Thanks I'll give it a try. That's pretty much what I did, just there were a few things missing
[00:26] <ActionParsnip> haux: no /dev/sdc1 is the block device, you mount the block device and you can access the data etc, you manipulate that
[00:26] <Afzal> glen_3b, thanks! ... you're in the root group, is that by default?
[00:27] <glen_3b> Afzal: no
[00:27] <haux> Alright, I'll reboot back into ubuntu here in a few minutes to see what the mount point is and give it a try. Thank you.
[00:27] <glen_3b> Afzal: At least as far as I remember, no
[00:27] <humungulous> Canadian1296: some dependency is missing thats whats causing the erro message youre seeing
[00:27] <humungulous> *error
[00:27] <Afzal> glen_3b, yeah just confirming, thanks
[00:27] <supermun> should i take a ticket and wait haha?
[00:27] <Canadian1296> humungulous: I'll just try one thing at a time till I find it
[00:28] <glen_3b> Afzal: Yeah, I've made a lot of system tweaks
[00:28] <humungulous> you should be able to track it down in the login scripts but it will require some investigation
[00:28] <bastidrazor> supermun: aren't you using mint?
[00:29] <UnclNastyFingerz> i need sum stank foot
[00:29] <supermun> no, i was consdiering switching. I am using Ubuntu 11.10
[00:30] <lorecaster> Soundcard issues... any gunna give me a hand? :P
[00:30] <Bealhorm> My question for Ubuntu mobile is ; Huawei only has a few phones, I wonder if it'll be supported
[00:30] <DonaldShimoda> it works.. :)
[00:30] <ariel`> can somebody tell me how to connect from the command line i deleted network manager and cant connect to the internet
[00:30] <CFHowlett> !ubuntu-phone|Bealhorm
[00:30] <humungulous> ariel': ifup eth0 ???
[00:30] <tlhonmey> ariel`: wired or wireless?
[00:31] <Canadian1296> humungulous: Okay, I've done everything it told me to and still no avail, as the next step is setting up a bash shell for them. I don't want them to have a bash script, and they won't be using ssh. Just logging in with sftp
[00:31] <Bealhorm> CFHowlett, what do you mean?
[00:31] <supermun> can you help, bastidrazor?
[00:31] <ariel`> which one is simpler wires or wirless
[00:31] <ariel`> wired
[00:31] <Afzal> so, has anybody got vlc 2.0 on maverick (10.10)?
[00:31] <UnclNastyFingerz> wired
[00:31] <CFHowlett> Bealhorm   might want to ask at @ubuntu-phone
[00:31] <humungulous> Canadian1296: if it's limited to sftp only then follow the instructions in the top half of the article to set their shell to none
[00:31] <Bealhorm> ah, thanks
[00:31] <CFHowlett> Bealhorm   might want to ask at @  #ubuntu-phone
[00:31] <UnclNastyFingerz> thanks
[00:31] <UnclNastyFingerz> phone
[00:31] <ariel`> how do i connect to wired then
[00:31] <tlhonmey> Canadian1296: you can set their login shell to anything you want.
[00:32] <tlhonmey> ariel`: wired is a *lot* simpler.
[00:32] <humungulous> ariel': what do you get for ifconfig
[00:32] <supermun> I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and my touhpad and touhcpad buttons aren't responding. can someone help me troubleshoot?
[00:32] <Canadian1296> humungulous: I already did the top half, I'm getting broken pipe still.
[00:32] <humungulous> Canadian1296: on sftp connection attempt???
[00:32] <ariel`> i get eth0 etho0 avahi and lo
[00:33] <Canadian1296> humungulous tlhonmey: How do I set their shell to sftp?
[00:33] <Canadian1296> humungulous: Yes
[00:33] <humungulous> Canadian1296: you dont, they dont have a shell. yo uset their shell to /bin/false
[00:34] <supermun> :(, ill wait as long as it takes for help but i just want to know someone wil help me eventually
[00:34] <humungulous> Canadian1296: do sftp -vv <your server> and read the diagnostic output
[00:34] <ariel`> which interface is important
[00:34] <humungulous> ariel': eth0
[00:35] <ariel`> but theres 2 of them what do i do next
[00:35] <Canadian1296> humungulous: Okay, so I type "sftp username@server" and it asks for a pass. I give it and I get "Write failed: Broken Pipe" then "Connection Closed"
[00:35] <humungulous> Canadian1296: add "-vv" to that to get more verbose
[00:35] <Canadian1296> I'll do it then pastebin the results for you
[00:35] <humungulous> Canadian1296: that will tell you what is going wrong and when
[00:35] <humungulous> yes
[00:35] <phcarepr> hiiii
[00:36] <humungulous> ariel': ifup eth0
[00:36] <phcarepr> did u hear about ubuntu for mobile
[00:37] <vindav> hello every one...I'm trying to figure out why none of my USB webcams will not be visible to me or anyone as I would like to have Skype fully functionable so I can call on friends.  I am currently using Ubuntu 11.1 in gnome classic mode
[00:37] <skypce> hello, how can i set super key to open gedit?
[00:37] <Canadian1296> humungulous: Here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/854788/
[00:37] <skypce> hello, how can i set super key to open gedit? i am with ubuntu 11.10?
[00:38] <ariel`> humungulous i get an error
[00:38] <Nardeli> hi...
[00:38] <Nardeli> i need help
[00:38] <Nardeli> pls
[00:38] <Canadian1296> !ask | Nardeli
[00:38] <phcarepr> what is your problem nardeli
[00:38] <humungulous> Canadian1296: the sftp subsystem is failing to start
[00:39] <humungulous> did you put ForceCommand internal-sftp
[00:39] <phcarepr> hey nardeli
[00:40] <phcarepr> what is your problem nardeli
[00:40] <pr0ton> how can i check which is the version of the particular package i can download?
[00:40] <pr0ton> (i dont want to download it, i just want to know what version i can get from apt-get)
[00:40] <zykotick9> pr0ton: "apt-cache policy foo"
[00:40] <humungulous> pr0ton apt-get -s
[00:40] <lorecaster> Calling all sound-card wizards ;) or at least sound-settings manager?
[00:40] <meganerd> pr0ton: aptitude show <packagename>
[00:40] <oliphant> is it possible to find-out and copy all files/dirs that my wireless driver uses? Theoretically I could just then paste all that into a new install and have wifi. Would this work?
[00:40] <Nardeli> I installed Kubuntu 11.10, downloaded to the drive nVidia GTX 560 Ti but I could not install... (sorry, Im using translator)
[00:40] <supermun> it worked :) my touchpad works noe
[00:40] <supermun> needed a reboot
[00:41] <supermun> thanks for the help
[00:42] <supermun> i see Nvidia driver version 173 and the recomended driver, whats the difference?
[00:42] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  I'm trying to figure out why none of my USB webcams will not be visible to me or anyone as I would like to have Skype fully functionable so I can call on friends.  Can you help me out please if you have some time ?
[00:42] <Canadian1296> humungulous: Yes I did. I have ChrootDirectory %h, X11Forwarding no, AllowTcpForwarding no, and ForceCommand internal-sftp. Same error
[00:42] <tlhonmey> supermun the 173 version is for certain, legacy cards if I recall...
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> vindav: do the cams work in cheese?
[00:43] <Canadian1296> humungulous: But if I try as a user that is not in the group sftphosting then it succeeds, so I'm guessing it's the fact they're bound to /var/www/hosting but there is no stfp program in that directory (or something like that)
[00:43] <supermun> okay so ill stick with recomended, thanks tlhonmey
[00:43] <supermun> anyone here experienced with Ubuntu and unraring NZbs?
[00:43] <tlhonmey> supermun: If it doesn't work, swap it for the other one.
[00:43] <humungulous> Canadian1296: which ubuntu version
[00:43] <Canadian1296> humungulous: 10.04.4 LTS
[00:43] <Canadian1296> Server
[00:43] <mister2> anyone here play eternal lands/know if it works on dial up? i ask here because the channel is dead and the game is listed on playdeb for debian derivatives and thought someone would know.
[00:44] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  the cam doesn't work in cheese.
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> vindav: then run:  lsusb   and use the 8 character hex ID to find guides
[00:44] <humungulous> Canadian1296: discussion here says it works http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1552217
[00:44] <Afzal> supermun, 260 i think is the "recommended" driver. I wouldn't advist installing 295 from the xedgers ppa
[00:45] <Afzal> advise*
[00:45] <humungulous> Canadian1296: are you doing identical to that?
[00:45] <tlhonmey> mister2: That's going to depend almost entirely on how much bandwidth it uses.  Most games I've seen run ok on dialup, but downloading update packs may take an unreasonable amount of time.
[00:45] <supermun> ty, Afzal
[00:45] <humungulous> Canadian1296: possibly Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
[00:46] <franz__> hi, how to open a browser using proxy?
[00:46] <mister2> tlhonmey i'm not concerned about that too much. The game itself is around 100mb so i figure it'll be done after a movie. I'm thinking more and more i'll just download it and see
[00:46] <Canadian1296> humungulous: Subsystem sftp internal-sftp (i copied and pasted)
[00:47] <tlhonmey> mister2: as long as it's not streaming audio or video from the server, the datastream tends to be fairly compact for most online games.
[00:47] <kihlim> hi is there anywhere i can get the newest ubuntu with gnome pre installed?
[00:47] <vindav> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/854794/
[00:47] <mister2> tlhonmey that was exactly the information i was looking for! thank you :D
[00:47] <humungulous> Canadian1296: and you already sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart to capture the changes right
[00:47] <tlhonmey> kihlim: http://emperorlinux.com/  They've been around for a while.
[00:48] <Canadian1296> humungulous: every time I changed something, yes. Heres my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file if it helps: http://paste.ubuntu.com/854796/
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> vindav: that's not good
[00:48] <tlhonmey> kihlim: Otherwise find your local linux users group and there will probably be somebody who will set it up for you.  :)
[00:48] <kihlim> i mean lke a distrubiution
[00:49] <humungulous> Canadian1296: it should work. im stumped
[00:49] <Oer> kihlim the newest 12.04 isn't out yet
[00:49] <Canadian1296> humungulous: I'll pastebin everything that might have an effect on it. Hang on a couple minutes.
[00:50] <humungulous> Canadian1296: all you can do is revert back to where you started and redo everything one step at a time
[00:50] <kihlim> ok whats the name of the old one with gnome preinstalled?
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> vindav: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[00:51] <Oer> kihlim, 11.10 oneiric ocelot
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> kihlim: Oneiric Ubuntu has Gnome preinstalled...
[00:51] <vindav> ActionParsnip:   Output is:   oneiric                                  I'll be back in a half an hour
[00:51] <dmj726> Did the keyboard shortcuts for switching workspaces just get changed in 12.04?
[00:52] <kihlim> ok will try it then
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> dmj726: ask in #ubuntu+1 for Pre-release support
[00:53] <kihlim> lol thats the same that i have now
[00:53] <motherbrain> to make the analogy a percentage breakdown for browsers is here http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp only about .8% of people are using something different the chrome , IE , or firefox.  (maybe they are using lynx,link ,links ,...etc lol :) their are alot but not very much used other then the 3 major players in browsers) GOT TO BE SITE EQUIVALENT FOR THE NETWORK HARDWARE
[00:53] <kihlim> but my doesnt have gnome preinstalled
[00:54] <Canadian1296> humungulous: The only things I can think of are a) The way I created the user, b) The fact the user's home is /var/www/hosting/rutger as opposed to /home/rutger, c) The fact they are bound to /var/www/hosting/rutger but that directory has no shell or sftp programs in it d) the ownerships.
[00:54] <humungulous> Canadian1296: well lets eliminate those
[00:54] <humungulous> Canadian1296: first test, set up one as /home/<user> and see if it works
[00:54] <Canadian1296> humungulous: Okay one sec.
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> kihlim: it does, unity is just a shell. It uses Gnome desktop by default
[00:56] <kihlim> ok is there any distrubution witth the gnome shell preinstalled?
[00:56] <Canadian1296> humungulous: The guide says to use "sudo useradd -d /home/bob -s /usr/lib/sftp-server -M -N -g sftphosting bob"  but since some of those options are ambigous, itt translates to "sudo useradd /home/bob --shell /usr/lib/sftp-server -N --group sftphosting --disable-login home" I imagine the "--disable-login" may cause some issues...
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> kihlim: just install gnome-shell   it's in the repos
[00:57] <humungulous> Canadian1296: well you can verify the result in /etc/passwd
[00:57] <RenatoSilva> tlhonmey: ok asked there
[00:57] <humungulous> Canadian1296: (dont paste that here though for christ sake)
[00:57] <kihlim> its not just for me
[00:58] <Canadian1296> humungulous: It's "rutgerdehann:x:1001:1001:Rutger De Hann,,,:/var/www/hosting/rutger:/bin/false" (see? I only posted the important line :) )
[00:58] <crystaltv> any online poker players here? Ihave questions about ubuntu and running an xp kvm so I can still play..
[00:58] <humungulous> hehehe
[00:58] <humungulous> technically the hashed pw is in /etc/shadow
[00:58] <tlhonmey> crystaltv: Well, the first question is whether ubuntu will work with the site in question...  It does with lots of them...
[00:59] <tlhonmey> crystaltv: you could eliminate the extra setup if it does.
[00:59] <humungulous> what is you make shell /usr/lib/sftp-server again
[00:59] <humungulous> is=if
[00:59] <RenatoSilva> unity runs on top of gnome 3 libs right? so it runs gtk 3? is gtk 3 backwards compatible with gtk 2?
[00:59] <crystaltv> tlhonmey: I am in the US so I can only play on the Merge network.. and have tried to install the clients under wine and they dont run
[00:59] <tlhonmey> RenatoSilva: In terms of programs it's supposed to be backward compatible.
[00:59] <Canadian1296> humungulous: I'll create a new user with those option, minus the --disable-login
[01:00] <humungulous> ok
[01:00] <RenatoSilva> tlhonmey: and in terms of what it's not?
[01:00] <kihlim> ok any other good distrobotion with gnome preinstalled?
[01:01] <humungulous> Canadian1296: i never use useradd i always mess around in /etc/passwd and /etc/groups and issue /sbin/pwconv and /sbin/grpconv after
[01:01] <tlhonmey> Configuration files are probably different in some places.  I haven't done a detailed comparison.
[01:01] <humungulous> er, /usr/sbin/pwconv and /usr/sbin/grpconv i should have said
[01:01] <tlhonmey> kihlim: Linux Mint, and Fedora come to mind.  Personally I like Mint better.
[01:01] <lorecaster> Any new takers (REally don't mean to bother, but I'm trying to do a transcription for work and REALLY need soudncard drivers)
[01:01] <Canadian1296> humungulous: Okay I ran "sudo useradd --home /home/bob --shell /usr/lib/sftp-server -N --group sftphosting bob" then "sudo passwd bob" and then tried logging into sftp as him. Still got broken pipe
[01:02] <humungulous> googling
[01:02] <kihlim> ok will try install them instead
[01:02] <Canadian1296> humungulous: k
[01:02] <tlhonmey> crystaltv: the merge network site is saying that they're not accepting US players...
[01:02] <humungulous> reading http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1482005
[01:03] <crystaltv> tlhonmey: I know but I am on several merge sites :) was on the before black friday
[01:03] <humungulous> look at post 2
[01:03] <humungulous> the owner of the destination directory must be "root", and group/other users cannot have write permissions
[01:03] <Canadian1296> humungulous: I'll give it a try :)
[01:04] <tlhonmey> crystaltv: Ok.  Lock poker and Carbon Poker say they support Linux...
[01:04] <tlhonmey> crystaltv: Otherwise, virtualbox runs a pretty good Virtual Machine if you have a license for Windows.
[01:04] <humungulous> someones entire wiki about it here http://wiki.lapipaplena.org/index.php/How_to_mount_SFTP_accesses
[01:05] <crystaltv> tlhonmey: I did not know that as I play on Blackchip, IronDuke and PokerHost
[01:05] <humungulous> phew... glad im not you
[01:05] <crystaltv> tlhonmey and I do have a license for windows so I guess virtual box is the way to go.. as I also run Holdem Manager so I would have to install it on the VB image
[01:06] <tlhonmey> crystaltv: If you need any help setting it up, feel free to let me know.
[01:06] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  ok, I'm back.
[01:06] <Canadian1296> humungulous: Huh, what do you know? It worked! I just needed to change /var/www/hosting/rutger 's ownership to root.
[01:07] <Canadian1296> humungulous: Thank you so much  :D
[01:07] <humungulous> what a pain eh
[01:07] <humungulous> glad it finally worked
[01:07] <pr0ton> (i dont want to download it, i just want to know what version i can get from apt-get)/join #apt
[01:07] <tlhonmey> crystaltv: not that I'm personally inclined to trust online gambling sites that don't offer cryptographic verification.  ;)
[01:08] <Canadian1296> humungulous: Yeah, it could've given a more verbose error message (something about ownership would've been nice). But anyways its fixed now :)

[01:08] <immediately> how to install vitualbox-4.1 from terminal?
[01:09] <Canadian1296> immediately: sudo apt-get install virtualbox
[01:09] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  the output is:   oneiric
[01:09] <dlentz> !ask | lorecaster
[01:09] <tlhonmey> immediately: If you want you can download the packages from the virtualbox site and use dpkg to install them.
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> vindav: you need the lsusb output
[01:10] <crystaltv> tlhonmey: That is why all poker players need to be heard so we can get the good sites back so join the PPA :)
[01:10] <immediately> what is sudo apt-get install dkms for?
[01:11] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  the lsusb output is:   Segmentation fault
[01:11] <lorecaster> I've asked several times in the past... hour or so. I see people pop in and out frequently, and I know that if you hop in you dond't see what has been posted before. I'm not new here, and I asked my question much earlier.
[01:11] <ubuntu_> I need to get some files from a system that will nolonger boot
[01:11] <humungulous> immediately: Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework
[01:11] <tlhonmey> crystaltv: Or just use TOR.  ;)
[01:11] <urfr332gO> immediately, allows kernel updates to keep vbox setting..no guest install again after a kernel update
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> vindav: thats not good, if you boot to an older kernel is it ok?
[01:12] <dlentz> lorecaster, okay, then you should probably use a forum
[01:12] <NyLes> help me im trying to compile the alsa source, i typed this; sudo ./configure --with-kernel=/usr/src/linux-headers-$(uname -r) --with-cards=intel8x0 --with-oss=ye
[01:12] <tlhonmey> immediately: virtualbox requires a kernel module.  dkms will automatically recompile that module when you update your kernel.
[01:12] <immediately> Is it possible to create a VM inside a VM using VirtualBox? or do I need to install VMWare inside the guest?
[01:12] <NyLes> and it replied: The file /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-32-generic/include/linux/autoconf.h does not exist.
[01:12] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  yes, it has worked in lower Ubuntu O/S grades.
[01:13] <humungulous> NyLes: sudo apt-get install autoconf  ???
[01:13] <NyLes> when i checked it really dows not exist, please help..
[01:13] <ActionParsnip> vindav: sounds like a bug
[01:13] <urfr332gO> immediately, this a theoretical question or a goal?
[01:14] <NyLes> humungulous: are you telling me to try it?
[01:14] <humungulous> Nyles: yep
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> immediately: technically you could, we do it where I work
[01:14] <crystaltv> tlhonmey: well there is that lol
[01:14] <NyLes> humungulous: thanks, now installing..
[01:14] <crystaltv> tlhonmey thanks for the help bud.. take it easy
[01:14] <humungulous> immediately: yes, you can nest VMs. every guest is a bare metal machine for all it knows.
[01:15] <franz__> how to open multiple chromium windows with diferent proxy?
[01:15] <kismet> so the 64-bit installer didn't get grub to recognize my Win7 install, but it looks like running update-grub found it. We'll see when it's time to reboot
[01:16] <NyLes> humungulous: same result after installing, do i need to reboot?
[01:16] <humungulous> Nyles: googling
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> franz__: is there a way to pass it execution options?
[01:16] <NyLes> humungulous: thanks, i really have no idea...
[01:16] <LL2|Android> Ummm
[01:16] <immediately> any software like autoVPN that auto-connects VPN when VPN failure
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> franz__: you could also make another user and setup the browser there then use su to run the browser as the other user and the other settings will be used
[01:17] <ubuntu_> Is there any way to retrive files from a system that will no longer boot with a live cd
[01:17] <LL2|Android> I really think that the floodbots should respond to a CTCP VERSION
[01:17] <LL2|Android> Just saying
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_: sure, as long as you can mount the partitions
[01:17] <humungulous> NyLes: you need to install kernel sources
[01:17] <franz__> ActionParsnip i barey remember some command
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_: why do you not have a backup?
[01:17] <franz__> like proxy:port appname
[01:17] <martian> franz__: http://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/network-settings
[01:17] <franz__> or something lke that
[01:17] <Roasted> Question - I set my resolution to something the TV didn't like. Now I have absolutely zero output once I log in. What can I do?
[01:18] <NyLes> humungulous: you mean this one; linux-headers-2.6.35-32-generic?
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> franz__: make a new user and configure the other proxy first, then read the man page for su
[01:18] <ubuntu_> i just installed the system and someone was helping me install drivers
[01:18] <CyFus> can anyone help with with a suspend issue?
[01:18] <humungulous> Nyles: sure
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: drop to root recovery mode (which will be text mode) and you can work there
[01:18] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | CyFus
[01:19] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  If I down graded from Ubuntu 11.1 to Ubuntu 10.0 LTS, would my current dual boot system that has Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.1 on it, would the Ubuntu system be just replaceable like I had upgraded before, if that makes sense to you ?
[01:19] <NyLes> humungulous: i have it already, and i have the folder structure the only missing is autoconf.h..
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> vindav: you would need a clean install to do that
[01:19] <ActionParsnip> vindav: did you upgrade directly from Lucid to Oneiric?
[01:19] <humungulous> unusual
[01:19] <CyFus> when ever I suspend or hibernate in 11.04 i get stuck at a blank screen with the mouse
[01:19] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, I know that much, but... then what?
[01:20] <histo> ubuntu_: What happens when you try to boot off of the live cd?
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: well, what GPU do you use?
[01:20] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, E-350 APU
[01:20] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: did you install the proprietary driver?
[01:20] <humungulous> NyLes: try sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential
[01:20] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, no
[01:20] <ubuntu_> histo i see the files but I cant copy
[01:21] <martian> Roasted: perhaps: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:21] <urfr332gO> CyFus, do you have your swap at least equal to the ram?
[01:21] <Roasted> martian, did that. :(
[01:21] <histo> ubuntu_: where/what are you trying to copy them to?
[01:21] <ubuntu_> to another partition
[01:21] <NyLes> humungulous: it says, both are already the newest version..
[01:21] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  yes, I did upgrade to Ubuntu 11.1 on the dual boot system.
[01:21] <humungulous> damn
[01:22] <histo> ubuntu_: are you getting a permision error or something?
[01:22] <CyFus> urfr332g0 I have the swap partition at 9gb on an 8gb system, its on an areca raid-0
[01:22] <histo> ubuntu_: you have to mount the other partition before you can write to it
[01:22] <humungulous> NyLes: do you have /boot/vmlinuz.autoconf.h
[01:22] <CyFus> its on an mbr table as a primary partiton
[01:22] <ActionParsnip> vindav: but did you upgrade to the releases between?
[01:22] <martian> Roasted: you may need to dive in to editing the xorg config
[01:23] <NyLes> humungulous: none?
[01:24] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  I don't think so other than the updates from "Update Manager" that are so generally done for the newbie (me).
[01:24] <humungulous> NyLes: issue "locate autoconf.h"
[01:24] <ActionParsnip> vindav: the I suggest you reinstall. Leapfrogging releases isn't supported and is why you are getting the issue (more than likely)
[01:24] <l_pottersky> hi there
[01:24] <ch33z> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9DJZtf2aS2Y
[01:25] <ActionParsnip> ch33z: don't bother next time
[01:25] <ch33z> what
[01:26] <NyLes> humungulous: /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic/include/generated/autoconf.h
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> ch33z: this is support, not only is the subject matter not suitable for the channel but this is a family friendly channel
[01:26] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  Ok, I'll do that...and on another matter, it seems that Firefox 10 is crashing like banshee in a Dell D630 laptop that has Ubuntu 10.10 on it.  Does Ubuntu 10.10 have issues using Firefox ?
[01:26] <ubuntu_> histo is there anyway to take ownership of a file from a live cd
[01:26] <humungulous> NyLes: copy that to the location where it's missing from
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> vindav: im sure it will be fine
[01:26] <l_pottersky> vindav: :(
[01:26] <ch33z> o woops sorry
[01:26] <ch33z> lol
[01:27] <ActionParsnip> vindav: do a clean install of Oneiric and wipe out the mess you have now. it will run better
[01:27] <ch33z> like barney and friends etc bleh bleh
[01:27] <NyLes> humungulous: done, i will try the compile again?
[01:28] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  Ok, I'll do that too.  BTW, is Ubuntu 10.10 called Maverick or Oneiric ?
[01:28] <haux> Just to follow up, for whoever helped me with my issue a few minutes ago. 'sudo chown -R haux:haux /media/xubuntu' did the trick. Although, I ended up formatting one of the partitions, and after the format, the user was reset back to root. I wonder why this happens? This did not occur in my previous install of ubuntu. Not a problem, just odd to me.
[01:29] <histo> ubuntu_: well if the partition you are copying to is mounted read only that could be your problem.
[01:29] <NyLes> humungulous: the last line says hacking autoconf.h is is successful?
[01:29] <l3d> how would i make a drive not auto mount after boot?
[01:29] <humungulous> NyLes: dunno, does it continue normally after that
[01:29] <undeclaredx> I added a service with a port number into /etc/services, but if I do netstat, it isn't named, and /etc/hosts.allow is not working (the port is open otherwise).
[01:29] <ActionParsnip> vindav: 10.10 = Maverick and is EOL in April
[01:29] <humungulous> l3d: comment it out of /etc/fstab
[01:30] <ActionParsnip> vindav: 11.10 is Oneiric and is the current stable release
[01:30] <tlhonmey> l3d: Change the parameters for it in /etc/fstab
[01:30] <NyLes> humungulous: yeah.. no error..
[01:30] <NyLes> humungulous: ill try this one thanks..
[01:30] <humungulous> ok
[01:30] <undeclaredx> can I use just a port number in /etc/hosts.allow?
[01:31] <ubuntu_> histo I'm copying to a usb drive it works for all but one file
[01:32] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  We'll...Ubuntu 11.10 doesn't allow me the full menu (application menu that includes preference & adminstration) in gnome or Unity.  Firefox also crashes like a banshee in that too.  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is good until the spring of 2013.  What is your suggestion ?
[01:32] <vindav> Action
[01:33] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  Is there a way to remove any traces or remnants, and all of Firefox in Ubuntu 10.10 ? If so, what is the terminal command(s) to do so please ?
[01:34] <almoxarife> vindav: sudo apt-get purge firefox
[01:34] <undeclaredx> To add a new entry with a custom port to /etc/hosts.allow, is it correct that I'm looking to add something to /etc/services with the port number?
[01:35] <motherbrain> Does anybody know how hard it would be if you where an expert at cisco networks to learn how to setup,...etc HP or Juniper or the rest of the network devices non-cisco based?
[01:35] <rodhash> Hi all.. Does anyone know why yakuake opens a new pts/X for each new session??
[01:35] <vindav> almoxarife:  doing that now.  Hope this works.
[01:36] <NyLes> sound card still doesn't work :/
[01:36] <almoxarife> vindav: what is replacing firefox?
[01:36] <NyLes> how do i know if alsa is really running in boot?
[01:36] <NyLes> is there something line xorg.0.log
[01:37] <TrueTech> hello is some in here?
[01:37] <log> !ask | TrueTech
[01:37] <rodhash> Hi all.. Does anyone know why yakuake opens a new pts/X for each new session??
[01:37] <vindav> almoxarife:  We'll...nothing is replacing Firefox (FF). I want to remove it, and do a fresh install because it's crashing like a banshee continuously so as to speak.  Everytime I click on something, FF crashes down.
[01:37] <motherbrain>  would it take a long time to learn if you where CCIE and wanted to work with non-cisco based networks
[01:37] <TrueTech> where can I download Ubuntu for android on sgs2?
[01:38] <NyLes> is there something line xorg.0.log for alsa?
[01:38] <log> rodhash: If you don't get an answer here, you might also want to consider asking that question in #yakuake.
[01:38] <vindav> almoxairfe:  do I need to do a restart of Ubuntu 10.10 since I removed FF in order to install it once again ?
[01:38] <TrueTech> where can I download Ubuntu for android on sgs2?
[01:38] <almoxarife> vindav: in your home folder wipeout any folder named 'firefox' or rename them, but do wipe out firefox in home too
[01:39] <log> TrueTech: Ubuntu for Android is still in development.
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> vindav: mv ~/.mozilla/firefox ~/.mozilla/firefox_old  may do it
[01:39] <almoxarife> vindav: also folders named 'mozilla'
[01:39] <ActionParsnip> log: its exciting though
[01:39] <TrueTech> Is there any beta version or alpha version that I can test?
[01:39] <log> ActionParsnip: Very true. :)
[01:40] <log> TrueTech: I doubt it; looks very closed source to me right now (probably in development over at Canonical).
[01:41] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  ok, I've renamed the file called Firefox to something else now.
[01:41] <TrueTech> Is there any downloadable content from Canonical that may contain the system?
[01:41] <stevem> join #reprap
[01:41] <vindav> almoxarife:  ok, I've renamed the file called Firefox to something else now.
[01:41] <log> TrueTech: I highly doubt it.
[01:41] <log> If anything, it would be highly unstable.
[01:42] <almoxarife> vindav: file? think folders
[01:42] <NyLes> is there something line xorg.0.log for alsa?
[01:42] <log> !repeat | NyLes
[01:42] <TrueTech> even so. I do want to test it if there is any
[01:43] <scottj> anyone know how lnotify uses categories?
[01:44] <vindav> almoxarife:  I did rename  the former file to /home/.mozilla/old/firefox-defunct
[01:44] <Roasted> Question - How can I get a hard drive into fd mode for software raid using fdisk? Disk utility is not allowing me to do so.
[01:44] <skypce> how does can i set super key in ubuntu 11.10?
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> !rootirc | Guest84784
[01:45] <ActionParsnip> skypce: set it to what? The question is non-sensical...
[01:46] <skypce> ActionParsnip,  i want launch slingshot launcher with super key
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> skypce: do you use desktop effects?
[01:49] <skypce> yes , i use compiz
[01:49] <skypce> yes , i use compiz, ActionParsnip
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> skypce: compiz can manage shortcuts in the commands bit, you assign a command to a sot, then make a shortcut for that slot and it will run. Not sure you can have just Super on it's own
[01:51] <skypce> i was trying with gconf-editor and ccsm
[01:51] <skypce> but nothing
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> skypce: ccsm is where is is set
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> !shortcut
[01:51] <orangepnut> In Advanced Settings under the Shell Extensions category there's nothing and it's completely blank how do I get the options there?
[01:52] <vindav> ActionParsnip:   Do you know of which Mozilla desktop add-ons that are not compatible with Firefox 10 ?
[01:53] <ActionParsnip> vindav: no idea dude, I haven't used firefox in AGES. I think its a poor browser
[01:54] <__name__> Hey
[01:54] <skypce> thank you ActionParsnip
[01:54] <skypce> i will try with keytouch
[01:55] <__name__> Is there any better way to have *good* powersave on my laptop than patching powertop to generate a script that disables the webcam, sets USB &c to powersave, disables the fingerprint sensor, etc?
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> __name__: do you use the fingerprint sensor?
[01:57] <__name__> ActionParsnip, Nah, that's why I disable it.
[01:58] <Jake_J> Does anyone know if it is possible to configure an active audio crossover in ubunt?

[01:59] <eodchop> I recently bought a car that has a Mark Levinson stereo. It has the ability to play dvd audio discs.  I tried burning a dvd disc by making a data disc. It wouldnt play.
[01:59] <zykotick9> Jake_J: do you mean crossfade?  Rhythmbox can do that.
[01:59] <__name__> How was that set of scripts that is exectuted when the laptop goes to battery power called?
[02:00] <grendal-prime> I got a blue ray player drive recognizes the movie disk..but...wont play it
[02:00] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  we'll...what do you use as a browser that uses a cloud like Xmarks to effectively keep or modify your bookmarks you want across your whole network ?
[02:00] <undeclaredx> I added a port number to /etc/services, then a rule to /etc/hosts.allow, but it is still refusing connections.. Anyone have a clue why?
[02:00] <grendal-prime> recognizes the title...i can browse the file structure
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> vindav: what are cloud like xmarks ?
[02:00] <Jake_J> zykotick9: No, crossover as in sending bass content below a certain frequency to a subwoofer
[02:01] <ActionParsnip> vindav: thats not special, opera has had centrally stored bookmarks for ages! chromium also does it no problem.
[02:01] <zykotick9> undeclaredx: /etc/host.allow or host.deny is unlikely to work for any service you might be running.
[02:02] <zykotick9> Jake_J: ok, sorry.  Obviously i have no idea.  Good luck.
[02:02] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  Xmarks is from Mozilla that supports Firefox in that you can log into it from any computer using Firefox and download or upload to the server.  Oh, I didn't know that Chrome and Opera have the same feature.  How do I go about getting those features in them as they are my back up browsers ?
[02:04] <why> huhu
[02:06] <Guest74467> what
[02:06] <xangua> vindav: xmarks works in mozilla, chrome/mium and explorer
[02:06] <bjrohan> Anyone have experience connecting their android phone to a computer on their home network via the internet?
[02:06] <vindav> ActionParsnip:  Have a good night; thank you for helping me today  :D
[02:07] <blumonkey> does my client have to synchronize with network before i can use it? its going on 2 hours now and its only at 81%
[02:07] <vindav> xangua:   pardon me for asking, how do I get Xmarks to sync or be installed into Chromium and Opera ?
[02:07] <xangua> vindav: install it on chrome/ium and log in
[02:08] <eggzeck> exit
[02:08] <vindav> xangua:  I'm going to do it.  I'll be right back at ya.  :D
[02:10] <urfr332gO> vindav, xmarks is a plugin, not actually from mozilla FF has it's own built in sync]
[02:11] <tobias234> my notebook shuts down what could it be how can i see the protocols?
[02:11] <tobias234> i think maybe its the gfx card(gets2hot)
[02:11] <urfr332gO> tobias234, randomly?
[02:11] <tobias234> i try now ubuntu2d :)
[02:12] <tobias234> so maybe this is an hardware shutdown
[02:12] <tobias234> but because of effects. how can i read the log files?
[02:14] <tyler> is there a way to completely remove the unity bar in ubuntu 11.10?
[02:15] <urfr332gO> tyler, and have what it is a plugin in compiz so yes.
[02:15] <tobias234> you can install classic ubuntu
[02:15] <xangua> !nounity | tyler
[02:16] <urfr332gO> tyler, not sure what else will disappear though.
[02:16] <eggzeck> I'm not really liking unity either.
[02:16] <ActionParsnip> tyler: just install xfce4 and use that as your desktop environment
[02:17] <chown_> i have a partition on my ubuntu that i would like to share at my network, but i also would like to manage permissions for this partition. Also my network have pcs and macs... what should i look for?
[02:17] <tyler> ActionParsnip: will that affect my mac os x lion theme?
[02:17] <ActionParsnip> chown_: mount the partition then share the mount point using samba
[02:17] <ActionParsnip> tyler: if you can use it in xfce then it will be fine, I can image you will be able
[02:17] <tobias234> how can i read the logfiles?
[02:17] <chown_> ActionParsnip:  ty, ill look for samba, ty.
[02:18] <urfr332gO> ActionParsnip, no mention of lululubuntu. ;)
[02:19] <riddlebox> hello all, when will the kernel be updated to reflect the power fix for laptops?
[02:19] <urfr332gO> riddlebox, power fix?
[02:20] <questineh> hi guys
[02:21] <riddlebox> urfr332gO, it is supposed to be in kernel 3.0.20 I think
[02:21] <StevenX> Is anyone here willing to help me set up fail2ban. I just don't know what setting I have wrong. The fail2ban-server is running (I can see it under ps -e), but it won't ban anything when I purposely put in a bad password.
[02:21] <riddlebox> StevenX, what are you using fail2ban on?
[02:22] <riddlebox> urfr332gO, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/linux-power-regression-overheating-problem-on-thinkpad-fixed/
[02:22] <StevenX> riddlebox, for my ssh server. I am running the server on port 443, so I made sure to change that in the config file jail.local
[02:24] <urfr332gO> riddlebox, that is from November, I'm hesitant to follow a link that old personally.
[02:26] <riddlebox> urfr332gO, it was the first one I found
[02:27] <riddlebox> I have noticed major issues on my laptop within the last year, I used to get 5 and a half hours or so on my laptop now if I unplug it from a full charge and it will drop down to 50% within minutes
[02:28] <yodaboy22> so how does WINE work?  Do I have to launch WINE before I launch an .exe file?
[02:31] <urfr332gO> riddlebox, the battery problems basically that the manufacturers are not giving out the code to open source, that is the rhetoric I have seen on the channel.
[02:31] <urfr332gO> is*

[02:32] <Lurkin_Lobster> does anyone know how in 11.10 i can make the dock on the side always visible?
[02:32] <Lurkin_Lobster> if there is a way?
[02:33] <gr0gmint> Hi, I have a VPN tunnel made only to traffic data for a specific user... when i tcpdump -i ppp0 i can see data flowing to and from my VPN tunnel, but the clients for the tunneled user can't receive the data (but i can clearly see it is there with tcpdump)... will anyone have a look at my iptables script please?
[02:33] <xangua> Lurkin_Lobster: you can configure the Unity plugin via Compiz Setting Manager
[02:33] <vindav> xangua:  thank you for the suggetion.  I've got Xmarks on all of my browsers, and Firefox isn't crashing anymore.  I'm putting a limit on the add-ons from Mozilla.
[02:34] <vindav> xangua:  Have a great night.  Gotta go here :D
[02:34] <urfr332gO> riddlebox, I think it is aprivate parties kernel tweak I doubt it will be in the ubuntu release and if not will not be supported here, just a heads up.  http://forums.opensuse.org/english/other-forums/news-announcements/tech-news/472243-power-saving-fix-kernels-3-0-20-3-2-5-a.html
[02:34] <Lurkin_Lobster> xangua that is already on my computer, right? i dont have to get anything additional?
[02:34] <chown_> ActionParsnip: ty man, im reading about how to config samba, and its very intuitive, easy commands, well ty. it will save me.
[02:34] <xangua> Lurkin_Lobster: well you have to install Compiz Setting manager
[02:35] <Lurkin_Lobster> oh, ok
[02:35] <Toph2> chown_,,, reading online? do you have a site?

[02:36] <xingzhe> hello
[02:36] <ubukou__> hey folks .. i just installed smaba on xubuntu.. i seem to remember that on ubuntu-server i used my computers username and password to access it from my mediabox... is there something i should change to access it, like a smb.conf line?
[02:36] <xim_> I have this old machine with 9.10 on it, but (i presume because support has expired) all the repos are broken.  I need to update ubuntu, but I would like to wait until april for that super LTS coming out.  Is there anyway to temporarily fix my repos to install somethings like git?
[02:36] <Lurkin_Lobster> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion xangua, is this what i am looking for?
[02:36] <ksysk> hi
[02:37] <xangua> Lurkin_Lobster: i said Compiz Setting Manager, you can fintd it in the Software center
[02:37] <Lurkin_Lobster> oh ok
[02:37] <Lurkin_Lobster> thanks again, can you tell im a noob?
[02:37] <Pikkachu> is ppa a subject for here or #launchpad?
[02:38] <urfr332gO> xim_, there is a eol update that would get you to 10.04, you could upgrade to 12.04 then, personally I never upgrade myself though.
[02:38] <ubukou__> Lurkin_Lobster, try ccsm..
[02:38] <urfr332gO> xim_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[02:39] <xim_> you never update?
[02:39] <xim_> when I say update, I mean format ;p
[02:40] <xim_> but this is what I was looking for thanks
[02:40] <urfr332gO> xim_, not sure I understand.....but glad your happy :)
[02:41] <ubukou__> hey folks .. i just installed smaba on xubuntu.. i seem to remember that on ubuntu-server i used my computers username and password to access it from my mediabox... is there something i should change to access it, like a smb.conf line?
[02:41] <urfr332gO> xim_, that link is for upgrading not updating.
[02:42] <ActionParsnip> xim_: i'd just hang with your current release til release day
[02:42] <sgo11> hi, to change umask globally, which file should I edit in ubuntu 11.10? /etc/profile? /etc/bash.bashrc? or any other files? thanks.
[02:43] <chuck_> I am having a problem with pulseaudio/alsa where when I unplug my head phones it switches to the correct connector, but then switches back to the headphone connector
[02:44] <poincare101> Hi everyone. I'm currently dual booting ubuntu and windows 7. Now, my ubuntu install got bricked (update went wrong), so, I want to reinstall, but, I want it to write over my old parition, can ubuntu do that?
[02:44] <chuck_> poincare101: yes
[02:44] <poincare101> chuck_: directly for the instaler?
[02:44] <aboxorg> chuck_, do you have an asus laptop, I have the same issue.
[02:44] <chuck_> poincare101: just do a manual partition and format the correct partition
[02:44] <orangepnut> When I use the Gnome setting when I login to Ubuntu the top bar is this neon blue color and all the text is distorted and unreadable, how do I fix this?
[02:45] <chuck_> aboxorg: nope, its a custom desktop
[02:45] <Gaming4JC> Hey all, I'd like to know if it's possible to run two hard-drives on one computer at the same time. Rather than dual-boot. Then just use a VNC to view my windows box. Possible? :)
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> poincare101: use custom partitioning and set the system partition for formatting and use it ext4 as /
[02:45] <chuck_> poincare101: it'll reinstall grub, but it should auto detect your win7 install
[02:45] <ActionParsnip> poincare101: obviously leave your ntfs partition alone and if you have a different partition for /home then tell the installer to use the partition as ext4 but NOT format it
[02:46] <Gaming4JC> It's the best way I can break my windows habbit, by using Ubuntu all the time, and moving to windows when absolutely nesccary. :P
[02:46] <aboxorg> Gaming4JC, why not just run windows inside a VM (virtualbox?) inside linux. Then you can make snap-shots so you can revert back when you get a virus :P
[02:46] <ActionParsnip> Gaming4JC: you'd need to virtualize one
[02:46] <Gaming4JC> I've done that
[02:46] <Gaming4JC> but it doesn't run certain things
[02:46] <Gaming4JC> e.g. video editing software
[02:46] <Gaming4JC> :/
[02:46] <FloodBot1> Gaming4JC: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:46] <aboxorg> not happen with performance?
[02:46] <ActionParsnip> Gaming4JC: what do you use VNC to achieve? Why do you connect to the system?
[02:46] <poincare101> ActionParsnip: so, it will be able to recover my data?!
[02:47] <poincare101> ActionParsnip: I would love if it could do that
[02:47] <Gaming4JC> ActionParsnip: nothing yet, currently I dual boot. I would like to be able to VNC into another HDD and play on Windows
[02:47] <chuck_> poincare101: if /home is on its own partition
[02:47] <chuck_> which IS recommended
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> poincare101: 1. Yes, boot to liveCD and you can access the data there and copy to a different storage temporarily.   and 2. Why do you NOT have a backup??
[02:47] <aboxorg> I run win7 inside ubuntu and I have access to everything I've tried. I can run wow, grab youtube vid's and convert them. Not happy with performance?
[02:47] <poincare101> chuck_: whoever had that idea needs to be given lots of money
[02:47] <ActionParsnip> Gaming4JC: for the video editting i'm guessing..?
[02:47] <Gaming4JC> aboxorg: and DirectX applications
[02:47] <Gaming4JC> ?
[02:48] <Gaming4JC> ActionParsnip: right
[02:48] <chuck_> Gaming4JC: no you can't run two OSes on the same computer at the same time
[02:48] <chuck_> poincare101: errr? its a pretty common thing to do
[02:48] <ActionParsnip> Gaming4JC: not tried any of the many native video editors in Ubuntu?
[02:48] <Gaming4JC> ActionParsnip: I have, but none of them offer multi-layers + effects that are required
[02:48] <Gaming4JC> e.g. Chroma Key and manual key animation
[02:49] <chuck_> poincare101: wait til you discover you can format /dev/ramX devices ;)
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> Gaming4JC: I see
[02:49] <aboxorg> Not really sure. What does WoW use? I tried that before. It's kinda why I did it at first.
[02:49] <chuck_> aboxorg: what does WoW use for what?
[02:49] <ActionParsnip> aboxorg: you can run WoW very well in wine, its the top rated app in the appdb
[02:49] <Gaming4JC> try running Sony Vegas Movie Studio or Adobe Premier in Wine
[02:49] <Gaming4JC> :p
[02:50] <chuck_> aboxorg: I recommend trying crossover if wine is too difficult of time consuming
[02:50] <chuck_> Gaming, adobe stuff normally works in wine
[02:50] <Gaming4JC> I definately need a windows box on occassion, it's just frustating having to dual-boot or virtually once you've tried VNC :|
[02:50] <chuck_> Gaming, you can always check the wine desktop
[02:51] <chuck_> wine database*
[02:51] <Gaming4JC> yeah I've done that
[02:51] <Gaming4JC> codecs etc are missing during rendering
[02:51] <chuck_> Gaming, crossover database?
[02:51] <Gaming4JC> not tried Crossover
[02:51] <aboxorg> thanks
[02:51] <chuck_> Gaming, crossover is wine but with some non-free stuff added, including some codecs
[02:52] <Gaming4JC> I would prefer to keep my linux distro free of non-free though. Seems wrong. xD
[02:52] <chuck_> Gaming, well if you are installing non-free software in wine, then that kills that idea to start with
[02:52] <xangua> Gaming4JC: then you wouldn't use ubuntu, do you feel dirty now?
[02:53] <xangua> :P
[02:53] <Gaming4JC> xangua: switching next week :]
[02:53] <Gaming4JC> xangua: but shh don't tell #ubuntu :D
[02:53] <chuck_> I am having a problem with pulseaudio/alsa where when I unplug my head phones it switches to the correct connector, but then switches back to the headphone connector
[02:55] <ActionParsnip> chuck_: what make and model system?
[02:55] <Mayazcherquoi> Hey guys. I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Oneiric and I've managed to boot into it several times except for the last couple of times. It stops on "PulseAudio configured for per-user sessions \n saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned [ OK ]". It's just frozen there.
[02:55] <chuck_> ActionParsnip: its a custom tower with a foxxconn motherboard... its a N10/ICH7 High Def. Intel onboard audio card
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> chuck_: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
[02:57] <macele> So I can transfer at 10MB/s with smbclient but only at 4MB/s with ubuntu's cifs kernel implementation. I read that this is due to the kernel not allowing asynchronous transfers. Does anyone have any idea how one might allow async between clients w/o using smbclient or know when the kernel will be patched to allow this?
[02:57] <chuck_> ActionParsnip: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=647692055976f86e9a581f0bc906defa7ec47ff6
[02:57] <Mayazcherquoi> :(
[02:58] <Gaming4JC> Mayazcherquoi: you may want to try disabling pulse audio, but that sounds like some sort of bug :O
[02:58] <Mayazcherquoi> Gaming4JC: How would I go about that? :S What's the service name?
[02:58] <orangepnut> When I use the Gnome setting at login the menu bar is completely distorted along with all the text, any ideas?
[02:58] <Mayazcherquoi> Restarting the lightdm service does nothing :(
[02:59] <ActionParsnip> orangepnut: is it the same for a new user?
[02:59] <orangepnut> ActionParsnip, I haven't tried
[03:00] <starn> hello, i had to redo my gnu-linux system and kinda lost my CLI apps.. and i am wondering if someone has a really good list of CLI tools and general apps? i only remember byobu and moc..
[03:00] <starn> i do know one tool i'd love if it there is even such a thing.. a cli tool that can control a Teamspeak 3 client on either a local network or on the host machine..
[03:00] <Gaming4JC> Mayazcherquoi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio | http://www.jeffsplace.net/node/12 (I'd lurk in the channel a bit longer though, to be sure)
[03:00] <ActionParsnip> starn: can it be controlled via command line?
[03:00] <Pikkachu> isn't there any automated system for keep tracking of upstream releases so they can be tested and packaged and released?
[03:00] <starn> ActionParsnip: i think it can be controled via telnet.
[03:01] <Mayazcherquoi> Gaming4JC: Okay, thank you :)
[03:01] <orangepnut> ActionParsnip, When I login as a guest and use the Gnome setting everything is still distorted
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> starn: then install openssh-server and you can ssh on and run commands
[03:01] <chuck_> ActionParsnip: I added "snd-hda-intel: model=auto" in the modprobe options, found a post that descirbed a issue kinda like mine where it wouldn't switch to headphones at all... so I thought it be worth a shot to try
[03:01] <ActionParsnip> orangepnut: has the guest account ever been used?
[03:01] <chuck_> ActionParsnip: didn't change anything
[03:01] <orangepnut> ActionParsnip, no it has not
[03:02] <ActionParsnip> orangepnut: is the system fully updated?
[03:02] <Mayazcherquoi> Gaming4JC: But it was working fine before :-/
[03:02] <orangepnut> ActionParsnip, as far as I know yes, though I'm new to the linux world
[03:02] <starn> ActionParsnip: alright i shall try that.. i do know for sure a teamspeak server can be controled via telnet. so maybe it'll work.
[03:02] <Gaming4JC> Mayazcherquoi: right. Disabling it may only work around another existing problem... needs debuging :(
[03:03] <Gaming4JC> Mayazcherquoi: I don't have experience with that particular error :|
[03:03] <ActionParsnip> orangepnut:  in a terminal run:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:04] <starn> ActionParsnip: apparently i already have openssh-server.
[03:04] <ActionParsnip> starn: cool, then connect and you can run commands and junk. you are not telnetted to the service so you will need to telnet to localhost for that
[03:06] <Ubuntunub> Hello everyone.  Anyone care to play another round of "I'm an simple minded novice and barely learned how to sort of move around directories via terminal, and need to know how to add rulesets to iptables"?  Cookies promised to those patient enough to babysit me through it.
[03:07] <orlok> Ubuntunub: use gufw
[03:08] <tyler_> which should i use, class GNOME or XFCE?
[03:08] <tyler_> classic GNOME*
[03:08] <xangua> whatever you want
[03:09] <Ubuntunub> orlok:  I'd prefer to learn via the terminal if at all possible.  I have the ruleset that I want to use, just can't seem to figure out *how* I go about editing the current one (which is default and of course blank).
[03:10] <starn> is it true 64bit ubuntu can install 32bit applications now?
[03:10] <orlok> Ubuntun..  probably best to ask google for the specifics then, better teacher than i am.
[03:11] <orangepnut> ActionParsnip, I entered the commands you had said and now the menu bar is still distorted just a different color
[03:11] <zykotick9> starn: "typically" yes (i just hope your not talking about zsnes)
[03:11] <Ubuntunub> orlok:  I just realized that a help option was staring me in the face.  Thumbing through it now.  :)
[03:12]  * Gaming4JC still thinks it is possible to mount a drive and use VNC... O_o
[03:12] <Gaming4JC> Assuming I have two separate hard drives, is it not possible to mount one on linux and then use a VNC viewer on it? :P
[03:13] <Mayazcherquoi> :'(
[03:14] <urfr332gO> Gaming4JC, if you don't just install as a dual boot you will not get the the full use.
[03:14] <Mayazcherquoi> Grr, screw this. Time for a reinstall.
[03:14] <starn> zykotick9: no.. i use an emulator on my phone for snes games.
[03:15] <urfr332gO> Gaming4JC, what I mean and use it as a reular OS.
[03:15] <urfr332gO> regular*
[03:15] <Gaming4JC> urfr332gO: I only want to use it from time to time. For video editing...
[03:15] <Gaming4JC> seems possible, I know it can be done remotely
[03:15] <urfr332gO> Gaming4JC, this is ubuntu support not waht if.
[03:15] <Roasted> If I'm setting up a new raid array, what's better to go with? MBR or GUID?
[03:15] <urfr332gO> what*
[03:17] <chuck_> ActionParsnip: you have any ideas?
[03:21] <ActionParsnip> chuck_: my sound troubleshooting abilities are low
[03:21] <mver> Are we all waiting for someone to put a topic forward?
[03:21] <skypce> d
[03:21] <Roasted> Question - what can I do about my resolution if I set it to something my monitor does not support? I just get no input now.
[03:24] <bjrohan> ActionParsnip: I was at least able to connect the backup system to the desktop from laptop and do a backup via ssh, instead of Samba
[03:24] <bjrohan> still can't get nautilus to connect
[03:26] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: how did you set the res?
[03:27] <R33p3r> hello
[03:27] <tintoy> hi everyone, can anyone help me  how to rsync to a remote server using different port
[03:27] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, system settings, display
[03:29] <bjrohan> ActionParsnip: Not sure what I did (brute force) but I got my computers to connect via SSH, in nautilus. How do I make sure Nautilus connects every time it opens?
[03:29] <xauth> tintoy: if you rsync over ssh, you could configure ssh to use a different port.
[03:30] <martian> tintoy: an example that I think may work: rsync -rav ./somedirectory martian@server.com:12345/home/martian/
[03:30] <Ubuntunub> Do I have to use sudo anytime I want to use nano to edit a file?
[03:31] <tintoy> xauth:this is my case, I want to pull somefiles from a remote server using port 2300
[03:31] <zykotick9> Ubuntunub: only if it's a system file
[03:31] <martian> Ubuntunub: only if it is a system file. If it's in your home directory you shouldn't (have to)
[03:31] <tintoy> martian:this is my case, I want to pull somefiles from a remote server using port 2300
[03:31] <Ubuntunub> It's iptables.rules -- so I assume it would fall under the system files restriction.  :)
[03:31] <Ubuntunub> Thanks.
[03:31] <martian> tintoy: well then based on the example I posted you should be able to; just swap the second and third parameter and change the port, path, user, and host
[03:32] <tintoy> martian:I will post my command check if it is correct
[03:34] <tintoy> martian:rsync -av rsync://root@www.trendy.org:2300/var/www/inv2010/* /var/www/main/
[03:34] <tintoy> martian:rsync: server sent "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-7ubuntu1" rather than greeting
[03:34] <tintoy> rsync error: error starting client-server protocol (code 5) at main.c(1524) [Receiver=3.0.7]
[03:35] <tintoy> martian: that error has been encountered after such command
[03:36] <marcosroriz> Hi guys. I'm still using ubuntu natty (11.04), the main reason is because I found the complete lib transition (libgtk2 -> libgtk3) in oneiric too buggy. I was wondering what is the current 'status' of oneiric, is it buggy? Is gnome 3 currently more 'customizable'?
[03:36] <linocisco> is there anyone who could explain this "http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html" to me?
[03:38] <Pikkachu> marcosroriz: I was annoyed by unity at natty and oneiric but I decided to reinstall from scratch after several years...now I'm just trying things out...I'm giving unity a chance, been doing a few customizations... it's not annoyingly buggy from my experience
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> marcosroriz: its got a bit better, what you think may be different to what I see as ok. Have you maybe tried a different DE...
[03:38] <klenwell> Hi. Has anyone here successfully installed the ADT (Android Dev Tool) plugin for Eclipse on Ubuntu 11.10? I'm having some trouble.
[03:38] <marcosroriz> I kinda like unity in natty, because gnome2 is way stable and customizable than gnome 3.
[03:38] <ActionParsnip> marcosroriz: Natty is fully supported til October so I wouldn't worry a lot
[03:39] <Pikkachu> marcosroriz: customizations are sometimes dumb I think
[03:39] <martian> tintoy: try getting rid of the "rsync://"
[03:39] <marcosroriz> ActionParsnip, thanks :D
[03:40] <marcosroriz> Pikkachu, yeah, in fact I've been using (gnu/)linux for > 6 years and for the first time I only changed the wallpaper
[03:40] <marcosroriz> Really liked the default 'look' of ubuntu natty
[03:40] <sgo11> how to change umask for all users? set it in /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc or any other files? thanks.
[03:41] <martian> marcosroriz: ditto. Never been more pleased with a default theme.
[03:41] <richard_> change it in /etc/skel/.profile
[03:42] <marcosroriz> :)
[03:43] <linocisco>  is there anyone who could explain this "http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html" to me?
[03:43] <Pikkachu> martian: sorry are you named after the martian modem driver?
[03:43] <martian> Pikkachu: haha afraid not
[03:45] <Pikkachu> martian, marcosroriz: default background is buggy though... I like setting the login screen background the same as my user...but there are duplicated references: the locked screen background still keeps as the original one of login screen or such
[03:45] <Pikkachu> martian: ah ok nevermind
[03:46] <marcosroriz> I'm cool with the gdm bg (using natty here). Used few times lightdm.
[03:46] <linocisco>  is there anyone who could explain this "http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html" to me?
[03:47] <Pikkachu> marcosroriz: I used to change bg and theme for gdm, now I need to deal with this lightdm...
[03:47] <marcosroriz> oh well, I'll probably change when precise launch
[03:48] <Pikkachu> marcosroriz: when precise launch?
[03:48] <marcosroriz> 12.04
[03:48] <roger> hello
[03:48] <marcosroriz> someday of april (this year)
[03:49] <chipotle> hi, i am trying to setup ubuntu, and i have 5 hdd's installed. i would like to use the 750gb drive like this: partition 1: 100gb / ext3, partition 2: 100gb ntfs for windows 7 dual boot and the rest for /home. then the rest of the drives, i want to use to store media on them (this is a file server)
[03:49] <chipotle> so what should i do?
[03:50] <urfr332gO> chipotle, I would put wundows first on the drive.
[03:50] <Pikkachu> marcosroriz: ah you mean you'll just wait 12.04 for customizing it? I see
[03:50] <chipotle> should i partition the other drives later?
[03:50] <urfr332gO> windows*
[03:50] <chipotle> so the first partition ntfs? the second ext3 and in the / position?
[03:50] <marcosroriz> Pikkachu, not only that but because until there gnome 3 will have more tools to customize and be more stable
[03:50] <urfr332gO> chipotle, any reason for ext3
[03:51] <Pikkachu> marcosroriz: sounds nice... I just hope it doesn't mess with dist-upgraters from oneiric
[03:51] <chipotle> urfr332gO: well, what are you recommending?
[03:51] <marcosroriz> :)
[03:51] <urfr332gO> chipotle, ext3 is okay the default is ext4 in ubuntu
[03:52] <orlok> I'm trying to create a suid root copy of bash under ubuntu
[03:52] <orlok> .. its not working, even after i remounted / without nosuid
[03:52] <chipotle> urfr332gO: well, the point was so windows could view the partition and i don't know if it can read+write ext4, but it can ext3
[03:52] <orlok> Also, with nosuid, how does su work?
[03:52] <Jordan_U> orlok: Making a setuid root copy of bash sounds like an absolutely *terrible* idea.
[03:53] <Pikkachu> chipotle: it can't read linux partitions
[03:53] <urfr332gO> chipotle, on this channel and in general a shared ntfs is preferred.
[03:53] <orlok> Jordan_U: i know, its to test whether a security auditing package will pick it up.
[03:53] <linocisco>  is there anyone who could explain this "http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html" to me?
[03:53] <chipotle> Pikkachu: it can with http://www.fs-driver.org/
[03:53] <Pikkachu> chipotle: what do you mean what should you do? you should implement what you just described, no?
[03:53] <Jordan_U> orlok: OK. You had me concerned there for a moment :)
[03:53] <orlok> Jordan_U: However, the fact that i cant actually do it has me confused now. Also, how the hell DOES su work with a partition mounted nosuid
[03:54] <chipotle> urfr332gO: so, should i just partition the one drive right now, the 750gb and then come back to the four other drives at a later date?
[03:54] <roger> simba
[03:54] <linocisco>  is there anyone who could explain this "http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html" to me?
[03:54] <chipotle> meaning, once i have ubuntu running
[03:54] <chipotle> can i continue /home on several different drives if one runs out of space...
[03:54] <orlok> Jordan_U: I was thinking it would be a 30 second test
[03:54] <Pikkachu> chipotle: cool, is it reliable? last time I checked all apps supposed to do that looked dumb
[03:54] <chipotle> Pikkachu: yeah, i have heard good things
[03:54] <orlok> chipotle: yeah, many ways of doing it
[03:54] <Jordan_U> orlok: How did you mount the partition as nosuid?
[03:55] <orlok> Jordan_U: installed ubuntu.
[03:55] <chipotle> orlok: what do you recommend? i ahve two 3TB drives that i want to also use as /home, can i do that in the installer?
[03:55] <urfr332gO> chipotle, all I would recommend is windows first on any of the drives it is easier to repair this way, and a shred ntfs wherever you want and the ubuntu where ever you want.
[03:55] <urfr332gO> shared*
[03:56] <orlok> chipotle: i dont remember sorry, but probably as a mirror
[03:56] <orlok> Jordan_U: ubuntu mounted it nosuid by default
[03:56] <Pikkachu> chipotle: do you want to mount different partitions at the same /home mounting point? @@
[03:56] <chipotle> well, can i have multiple drives mount point be /home ?
[03:57] <Jordan_U> orlok: Why do you think that?
[03:57] <chipotle> Pikkachu: well, i have 5TB of ~/Movies, so preferably, when i run out on my one 3TB drive, the second 3TB drive can pick right up where i left off
[03:57] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: you could use lvms and make one 'drive' from the 2 combined
[03:57] <Pikkachu> chipotle: I've never heard of it
[03:57] <orlok> Jordan_U: Looking at the mounted filesystems.
[03:57] <administrator> hello
[03:57] <Jordan_U> orlok: Can you pastebin the exact command and output that leads you to believe this?
[03:57] <Guest76807> ?
[03:58] <Pikkachu> ActionParsnip: cool
[03:58] <orlok> Jordan_U: No, since i remounted / nosuid since then
[03:58] <orlok> Jordan_U: However my 4755 chmodded copy of bash owned by root/root still doesnt fire off as root!
[03:58] <chipotle> ActionParsnip: oh, i'd prefer not use LVM
[03:58] <chipotle> so what should i select as the mount point for the other hard drives, ActionParsnip ?
[03:58] <Pikkachu> ActionParsnip, chipotle may also consider just using ntfs and symlinks
[03:58] <L3top> raid.
[03:59] <Jordan_U> orlok: You are mistaken about Ubuntu mounting / as nosuid by default.
[03:59] <chipotle> do i need to select a mount point?
[03:59] <orlok> Jordan_U: Ok. I am running 10.04 lts if it makes a difference, anyway.. but it doesnt explain my issues running a suid copy of bash
[03:59] <Pikkachu> chipotle: what filesystem will they be?
[04:00] <administrator_> ?
[04:00] <chipotle> how come i can't select an ntfs under "use as" in the installer?
[04:00] <Jordan_U> orlok: What is the output of "ls -l /bin/bash" ?
[04:00] <chipotle> Pikkachu: ext3
[04:00] <orlok> Jordan_U: /bin/bash or my suid copy?
[04:00] <Jordan_U> orlok: Your suid copy.
[04:01] <orlok> Jordan_U: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root<PHONE_NUMBER>-02-24 10:17 /bin/dodgybash
[04:01] <orlok> 4755 and root.root
[04:02] <Jordan_U> orlok: What is the output of "/bin/dodgybash -c whoami"?
[04:02] <Pikkachu> chipotle: stuff are usually mounted in /media/desired_name but you can use any place you want
[04:02] <orlok> Jordan_U: myusername
[04:02] <chipotle> Pikkachu: oh, so i can name the mount point whatever i want?
[04:02] <Pikkachu> chipotle: yes
[04:02] <chipotle> Pikkachu: how come i don't have the ntfs option in the installer?
[04:03] <chipotle> how can i install win7 if i don't have an ntfs partition as the first partition
[04:04] <L3top> you will want to install windows before ubuntu.
[04:04] <martian> chipotle: you may want to install win7 first as if you install it second it will likely overwrite grub
[04:04] <chipotle> oh, really?
[04:04] <chipotle> i didn't know that
[04:04] <chipotle> martian: thanks :)
[04:04] <L3top> oh ches
[04:04] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: the NTFS doesn't have to be the first partition
[04:05] <Pikkachu> chipotle: in my case, I have a reiserfs which is / and two ntfs partitions, one is windows and the other a data partition. For those I'm using "udisks --mount /dev/sdaX" when logging in (session apps), that command will create a /media/mount_point_according_to_ntfs_partition_label_dynamically
[04:05] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: just install and leave unpartitioned space, you can then install ubuntu to the empty space
[04:05] <chipotle> ActionParsnip: okay
[04:05] <L3top> but it does want first crack at the mbr
[04:06] <Pikkachu> chipotle: 11.10 installer? not sure but the advanced option gives you access to a partition manager which isn't really that hard to go through
[04:06] <chipotle> ActionParsnip: what would you recommend, i have a 500GB HDD, and two 3TB drives
[04:06] <chipotle> how would you recommend i install ubuntu on them (sans the 100GB i'll leave for windows7)
[04:07] <Jordan_U> orlok: Seems like bash may have a feature of some sort to try to protect stupid users. Doing the same with /bin/dash works as expected.
[04:07] <jardineworks> has anyone here done an install on the Alenware m17x?
[04:07] <Jordan_U> orlok: And to be clear, I am (as you should be) only doing this in a virtual machine. (In fact, I'm doing it in a VM using a LiveCD image only).
[04:08] <jardineworks> I'm curious how much success was had .. and with which version
[04:08] <chipotle> Pikkachu: is gparted on the install disc?
[04:09] <linocisco> how to disable sleeping monitor screen on server version if there is no X windows?
[04:09] <Pikkachu> chipotle: are you taking about 11.10? it uses some other app but gparted is yet available in the repos
[04:09] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: look into lvms, if you want to keep them seperate, you can mount them at boot and have symlinks pointing to the mount points. This will reduce data loss if a drive dies (less to resore from backup)
[04:09] <chipotle> Pikkachu: yes 11.10
[04:10] <chipotle> ActionParsnip: i did LVM once and it was a disaster
[04:10] <probo> I just swapped my motherboard and need to install the new drivers, I'm booted in a rescue terminal, how do I tell ubuntu to grab whatever drivers it needs?
[04:10] <chipotle> ActionParsnip: i can't have an easy way to install a 100GB / and the rest on /home  (and a swap partition)?
[04:10] <Pikkachu> chipotle: windows does not give a damn about other oses you may be using and overwrites MBR. So install windows first then boot from live cd, or install it later then reinstalls grub onto the MBR
[04:10] <chipotle> then the second 3TB drive can be /media
[04:11] <Jordan_U> probo: The only drivers which aren't automatically detected and configured at boot would be proprietary drivers (graphics card or possibly wireless card).
[04:11] <Jordan_U> probo: What happens when you try to boot normally?
[04:11] <probo> Jordan_U: The new mobo has a different ethernet card, it works fine from the install cd but doesn't work when booted from my hard drive.
[04:12] <probo> So I don't get network when I boot normaly.
[04:12] <Pikkachu> chipotle: /media/something_within_it rather
[04:12] <chipotle> Pikkachu: i'm using gparted first to setup the partition scheme
[04:12] <Jordan_U> probo: That's very odd. What is the output of "ifconfig" from the installed system?
[04:13] <Pikkachu> chipotle: from the livecd? why you didn't go though the normal steps
[04:13] <linocisco> how to ip route add according to split access in http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html ?
[04:13] <chipotle> Pikkachu: i like gparted
[04:13] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: 100Gb for / is a LOT, you probably won't even need 20Gb. My desktop install is little over 4Gb
[04:13] <chipotle> ActionParsnip: okay, so if i do 20GB for /, do i need to make any other partitions besides home?
[04:13] <martian> chipotle: I think you would be better off just runnign the windoze installer first, as win7 likes to create its own goofy 100mb partition for some thing or another
[04:13] <Jordan_U> orlok: You might ask about it in #bash. But if you do, please make sure to immediately include that you are doing this for a test and not actually doing it on a production machine.
[04:13] <probo> Jordan_U: It doesn't show eth1 unless I do ifconfig -a, that gives me interrupt code 17, so then I up it and I get some other interrupt code.
[04:14] <Pikkachu> chipotle: ok so what are your disk sizes and how much you want for windows and linux? how much ram?
[04:14] <orlok> Jordan_U: I'd say "I'm the worlds most incompitent script kiddie".. but then, theres no way thats true.
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: should be ok with those 3 :)
[04:15] <chipotle> third being the unformatted partition for windows 7?
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: Win7, /, swap, /home  = 4 partitions
[04:15] <chipotle> how much swap do you recommend?
[04:15] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: how much RAM do you have?
[04:16] <chipotle> 8gb
[04:16] <Pikkachu> depends on ram as I asked
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: do you need hibernate / suspend?
[04:16] <chipotle> um, no, i'll just turn off my monitor
[04:16] <chipotle> this will be a fileserver
[04:16] <Pikkachu> ActionParsnip: suspend does not require dumping
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: could probably get away with zero then, otherwise 9Gb swap will be fine
[04:16] <Ubuntunub> orlok:  No, you can't be.  I can't even get new rules for iptables to save right, lol.
[04:16] <ActionParsnip> Pikkachu: I use it as a generic term, I know its different :)
[04:17] <Pikkachu> chipotle: how much you're planning for win7?
[04:17] <Pikkachu> ActionParsnip: ok
[04:17] <probo> Jordan_U: Any ideas?
[04:18] <chipotle> Pikkachu: 100gb, just to be safe
[04:18] <Pikkachu> chipotle: given that you have so much space, I'd recommend 100GB ã.ã
[04:18] <Pikkachu> chipotle: yay lulz
[04:19] <Pikkachu> windows goes to mc donalds every day and gets fatter and fatter over time
[04:20] <Jordan_U> probo: Check the output of "dmesg" to see if that clarifies the problem. But other than that I don't know.
[04:22] <chipotle> Pikkachu: okay and now for the other 3TB drive, should i just format it to ext3 and then the mount point /media/movies ?
[04:22] <chipotle> and then i can install ubuntu on my 15 GB partition that will be at /
[04:23] <probo> Jordan_U: Just says it couldn't find an ipv6 router, huh. I just edited the network conf to change teh eth device from 0 to 1. We'll see if that makes a difference
[04:23] <probo> since eth0 isn't present, just eth1
[04:23] <Pikkachu> chipotle: I'd use ext4 or reiserfs but if you really want to try out reading it through windows without fear of losing data, sure
[04:23] <probo> Jordan_U: Boom! Came right up.
[04:24] <ActionParsnip> chipotle: if you use ext3 instead of ext4, you can use partimage to take backups :)
[04:24] <Pikkachu> chipotle: why don't you just format it as ntfs instead?
[04:25] <L3top> If it is just for media I would choose xfs.
[04:25] <Ian-Moone> I am running Ubuntu LTS, and often times I will click on something, and capslock and scroll lock will flash and the computer will lock up. What do I do here, and how do I prevent it?
[04:26] <Ian-Moone> has anyone else had my problem, or is there something I just did massively wrong?
[04:26] <chipotle> Pikkachu: it won't let me save the partition because i am using more blocks than msdos partitions allow
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> Pikkachu: if the files are to be shared with samba, ntfs causes all kinds of annoyance
[04:27] <Raj84> Any one want pvt chat
[04:27] <L3top> Ian-Moone: What else do you have attached to USB?
[04:27] <chipotle> which partition table should i use then if not msdos (Default)?
[04:27] <Ian-Moone> I have a WD USB3.0 external hard drive
[04:27] <Ian-Moone> ..... not anymore.
[04:28] <chipotle> under "select new partition type table" i can choose msdos, aix, amiga, bsd, dvh, gpt, mac, pc92, sun, loop
[04:28] <L3top> Does the computer lock up, or just the input devices?
[04:28] <chipotle> what will let me save large 3TB drive partition schemes?
[04:28] <Ian-Moone> Just input devices.
[04:28] <Raj84> Who like hot ant sex pvt me
[04:28] <zykotick9> chipotle: gpt i believe (but verify before choosing)
[04:28] <Ian-Moone> Actually, my keyboard is PS/2
[04:28] <Vasistha> Ian-Moone: I missed your problem description, but I know that I have had issues with certain usb ports not getting enough power, and that once caused me to think a drive was dying, when the thing was just malfunctioning due to not getting enough power
[04:28] <pnorman> I need to install millstone (for node.js) which depends on having sqlite3 >2.0.16 and <2.1.0, how do I install a specific version with apt-get?
[04:28] <chipotle> ah
[04:28] <pangolin> !guidelines > Raj84
[04:29] <Vasistha> pnorman: I think like this: apt-get millstone =2.0.16
[04:29] <Vasistha> pnorman: you'll need to figure out the specific version you want. Or you can just download the .deb and dpkg -i
[04:29] <pnorman> Vasistha: no .deb that I can find for millstone
[04:30] <Vasistha> pnorman: then how do you expect apt-get to find it? :)
[04:30] <Noobie-LJ> Can anyone help me with sound issues?
[04:30] <pnorman> Vasistha: I'm installing sqlite3 through apt-get for millstone
[04:30] <xauth> pnorman: apt-cache policy sqlite3
[04:30] <L3top> Ian-Moone: is it just a normal install, or are you running something "unusual" on it? Something which might be scanning USB... say for media or something.
[04:30] <Ian-Moone> @Vasistha: I will occasionally click on something (a link, a symlink, a binary, anything, but it can't just be nothing) and everything will continue running, but the keyboard and mouse don't respond. The keyboards scroll lock and caps lock keys flash.
[04:31] <xauth> pnorman: then select your version and install with apt-get install sqlite3=2.0.16
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> Ian-Moone: have you ran a Memtest from Grub?
[04:31] <L3top> good question ActionParsnip
[04:31] <Ian-Moone> no.
[04:31] <Vasistha> Ian-Moone: oh that's weird. does the keyboard ever resume functioning?
[04:31] <pnorman> xauth: It's not finding that version - how do I see what versions are available?
[04:31] <Ian-Moone> I usually wait 5 minutes, then reset the system.
[04:31] <xauth> pnorman: apt-cache policy sqlite3
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> Ian-Moone: run one, hold shift at boot and select memtest, run it for about 10-15 mins, if you see ANY red some or all of the ram is bad
[04:32] <lwizardl> I have a couple of zip files I need to check and match md5sum's from is there an application that i can select the file, tell it was is expected to be the md5 hash and then have it tell me if it matches or not
[04:32] <Ian-Moone> I have never gotten response within those 5 minuts.
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> Ian-Moone: and you will need to start removing memory sticks till you get a clean test
[04:32] <Vasistha> Ian-Moone: can you ssh into the box when it is hanging like that?
[04:32] <ActionParsnip> lwizardl: if you run:  md5sum -c filename   it will test the hashes of the files in the filename file
[04:33] <Ian-Moone> I don't know. I've had trouble with network connections. I could connect to an LAN IRC server, but that's all I've done successfully.
[04:34] <xauth> pnorman: But sqlite3 over here is already at 3.7.3 in stable debian.
[04:34] <Ian-Moone> It's something wrong with me (too little experience), not the computer or OS installation with my last.
[04:34] <Ian-Moone> but I will run the memtest.
[04:34] <Ian-Moone> Which one do I run? there are two.
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> Ian-Moone: the one thats not serial console
[04:34] <Ian-Moone> okay. thanks.
[04:35] <xauth> pnorman: there's also an old sqlite-2.8.17, but nothing near as old as 2.0.16.
[04:36] <Ian-Moone> I dual boot Windows, and I've never had a RAM problem in Windows, but there's a reason I'm in linux.
[04:37] <Ian-Moone> Although: after booting into windows, I must turn off the PSU, discharge the capacitors, and wait about a minute before booting linux, otherwise the internet connection problems I get in windows carry over.
[04:38] <adamus> #

[04:39] <Ian-Moone> @Vasistha: I don't know how to ssh into it, but running programs continue. Minecraft did hang when it happened once while I was playing, but everything else kept going.
[04:41] <draginx> why do i get the following error http://pastie.org/private/t62lkmqzuk0xyze52duxg when Im following the http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html guide

[04:57] <possible1994> Someone please help me properly align my SSD before installing Ubuntu.
[04:57] <abuss> ok so idk anything about LINUX or UBUNTU..so where should i start learning or what should i start learning about???
[04:58] <Vasistha> abuss: have you installed it?
[04:59] <abuss> yes..ubuntu 11.10
[04:59] <Vasistha> possible1994: I have never heard of such a thing, are you sure it hasn't automatically set itself up for you?
[04:59] <CFHowlett> abuss   read FCM, choose a project, start learning...  http://fullcirclemagazine.org/
[05:00] <possible1994> Vasistha:  Block size alignment optimizes the use of blocks by preventing using, say, 1.0001 blocks (two blocks) to store data
[05:01] <abuss> CFHowlett Thank you, appreciate it so much
[05:01] <CFHowlett> abuss   be safe/have fun
[05:01] <Vasistha> possible1994: oh ... hmm, are you trying to install ubuntu on a machine that has windows, and you need to shrink the windows partition?
[05:02] <possible1994> Vasistha: No, I use ubuntu exclusively. I just want to optimize my SSD.
[05:02] <abuss> absolutely thanks
[05:03] <Vasistha> possible1994: well.. if a file is too big to fit into one block then it is going to have to use two
[05:03] <jadoe> I managed to brake automatic asking for root password somehow. When I click in install in the Software Center, nothing happens. When I launch Synaptic without (gk)sudo, nothing happens. Only manually starting with (gk)sudo works. How do I fix that?
[05:04] <possible1994> Vasistha:  Just google it
[05:05] <Vasistha> possible1994: sorry I responded, I don't know how to help with your issue.
[05:07] <abuss> question..why LINUX??
[05:07] <Antares> Why linux what?
[05:07] <abuss> why use LINUX?
[05:07] <Antares> Free?
[05:08] <jadoe> because ms-dos sucks
[05:08] <tabern> what
[05:08] <linocisco> how to ip route add according to split access in http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html ?
[05:08] <abuss> lol what else?
[05:08] <mosno> abuss, why uppercase "Linux"?
[05:08] <linocisco> how to ip route add according to split access in http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html ?
[05:08] <zykotick9> jadoe: (i don't have any suggestions for your actual issue) but, using sudo with GUI apps can lead to bad things happening (perhaps the situation your in?), always use gksudo with GUI apps.
[05:08] <abuss> idk
[05:08] <Antares> Why use Windows?
[05:09] <linocisco> how to ip route add according to split access in http://lartc.org/howto/lartc.rpdb.multiple-links.html ?
[05:09] <tabern> because its over
[05:09] <abuss> i guess thats the real question...
[05:09] <jadoe> zykotick9: (1) I use gksudo with gui aps. (2) I used neither manually until it broke.
[05:10] <zykotick9> !ot | abuss that's not an ubuntu support question
[05:10] <zykotick9> jadoe: ok, just seem your post suggested you might have been using sudo with U.S.C.
[05:11] <abuss> sorry about that, your welcome!
[05:13] <goathouse774> As it stands, I can't confidently compile and run a program on Linux.  However, I want to begin the - I assume - long process of doing what I originally set out to do with it - which is to hook my small business up with a voip solution on a linux computer.  As the knowledgeable ones, please point me toward the good, and away from the bad.

[05:16] <tintoy> Hi anyone helps, I am using apache2 in ubuntu 10.04, When I access it at the browser it always saying "You have chosen to open which is a: PHTML file". what does this mean I supposed to see my hompage instead?
[05:17] <tintoy> I'm using firefox
[05:17] <zykotick9> goathouse774: for a buiness VOIP solution you should certainly be looking at asterisk (not somthing i've personally used, but it's certainly the defacto gnu/linux standard for enterprise quality voip)
[05:21] <linocisco> hi
[05:21] <goathouse774> zykotick9:  thanks
[05:22] <L3top> asterisk is def the direction you want to go
[05:23] <erik32533> has anyone noticed lately firefox 11 has become not stable at times
[05:25] <deserteag> hello folks
[05:25] <goathouse774> how difficult is asterisk to get set up?  let's place my aptitude at the "game but clearly overreaching" level and answer my subjective question in that light.
[05:25] <Antares> hi
[05:25] <CFHowlett> Antares   greetings
[05:25] <CFHowlett> deserteag   greetings
[05:25] <deserteag> anyone know where to start with a game whose audio stutters?

[05:26] <frustro> hey all, I am working remotle on a system and hosed X, I have SSH, I tried to copy the backup of xorg.conf but when I start X it shows PID of failsafe mode.  how to get around that?
[05:26] <deserteag> it's a wolfstein mod
[05:26] <Antares> Ah, I remember that.

[05:26] <Mayazcherquoi> So, guys (& gals). my touchpad driver stopped working (it was working before logon, and for about 15 seconds after). How do I get it working again? :-/
[05:26] <deserteag> no clue, the furthest i've gone is using aoss
[05:26] <deserteag> but now it just stutters
[05:27] <nathan28> frustro: X configures automagically if you use the free video drivers

[05:33] <frustro> crap where are the nvidia installer logs..
[05:34] <tallnerd1985> Anybody here discussing the Ubuntu on Android?
[05:34] <Antares> rghose, I had the same problem. Did you google the name of your laptop + ubuntu + wifi driver? That's how I was able to get mine working. :P
[05:34] <Antares> The default driver did not work for me.
[05:34] <CFHowlett> rghose let's ID your wifi card - run in terminal lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4 and paste
[05:34] <zykotick9> tallnerd1985: try #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntu-phone - be aware it doesn't exist yet
[05:35] <frustro> lol @ zykotick9 sure it does, it's just not supported yet
[05:35] <tallnerd1985> Thanks, I am trying to get more info to see if my work on Webtop is the same as Ubuntu on Android

[05:43] <afsal> is possible to install ubuntu base system from livecd ???
[05:43] <CFHowlett> !mini|afsal
[05:44] <CFHowlett> afsal   pretty sure it's not as the process is automated...mini or alternate install give you more choice
[05:44] <frustro> tallnerd1985, gotcha, There is a guy out there, AdamOutler I think he's on twitter, great resource for android ubuntu.  shoot him a message.  I think his gmail is also in his xda sig.
[05:44] <afsal> ubottu: minimal cd need internet connection while installation????
[05:45] <urfr332gO> afsal, yes
[05:45] <chilicuil> afsal: yep, and it will use it a lot =)
[05:45] <CFHowlett> afsal   I think so ... otherwise how would you get packages...
[05:45] <tallnerd1985> frustro - thanks mang
[05:45] <rattatoue> afsal: minimal is the very bare bones, but as far as getting packages etc it will download those during the install from the internet. Oh Btw ubottu is a bot
[05:46] <afsal> rattatoue: what is bot??
[05:47] <rattatoue> afsal: means its not a real person. Just a thing that will respond whatever its programmed too
[05:47] <rattatoue> afsal: for example
[05:47] <rattatoue> !question
[05:47] <zykotick9> afsal: bot is short for robot
[05:47] <afsal> ubottu: !question
[05:48] <afsal> Haaa is nice......:-)
[05:48] <bjrohan> can someone help with port forwarding on a DSL router
[05:49] <linocisco>  How can I disable eth0 or eth1 permanently down?
[05:49] <rattatoue> bjrohan: what router?
[05:49] <linocisco>  How can I disable eth0 or eth1 permanently down?

[05:49] <linocisco> frustro, CLI on server
[05:51] <frustro> linocisco, looking, I think it's in /etc/network/interfaces see if int ethX has a line that says auto
[05:51] <goddard> heya
[05:51] <bjrohan> rattatoue: The port forwarding on my Qwest dsl router is odd. I have multiple computers connected, and I want to access the ssh port on 2 of them remotely. I have the default computer set up. I wish to have incoming port 23 forwarded to port 22 of the other computer
[05:52] <rattatoue> bjrohan: did you look at portforward.com? you can look up specifically your router and it tells you how to configure that
[05:52] <linocisco> frustro, yes I found it is auto
[05:52] <bjrohan> rattatoue: will do
[05:52] <linocisco> frustro, but I disabled it with #
[05:53] <chilicuil> braiam: or use https://pagekite.net/ which is *amazing*

[05:55] <CFHowlett> rghose   paste the output from lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4
[05:55] <Mayazcherquoi> rghose: Install proprietary/restricted drivers.
[05:55] <CFHowlett> rghose   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[05:55] <frustro> linocisco, not sure then, sorry, ask again maybe someone else can help.
[05:55] <ActionParsnip> Mayazcherquoi: is there a shortcut to disable and enable the touchpad?
[05:56] <linocisco> frustro, yes. Now i restarted and it is disabled now
[05:56] <Mayazcherquoi> ActionParsnip: Yes. I've alreay tried that :-/

[05:57] <linocisco> frustro, I have two ISP links . DNS and apt-get install are ok with eth0 before. When I disabled, it is not working
[05:58] <rghose> well, i did enable the drivers in the first place, else the wlan device would not be created... broadcom-sta drivers is what I had downloaded and installed
[05:58] <rghose> however, on ubu 11.10 it does not help to set ad-hoc mode in the wlan interface
[05:59] <frustro> what does an MTR show?

[06:00] <linocisco> frustro, dig = no servers could be reached
[06:01] <chilicuil> ask! johny9
[06:01] <urfr332gO> Antares, howdeee.
[06:01] <chilicuil> lol!
[06:01] <frustro> linocisco, k, mrt <IP_ADDRESS> lets see if you have any routing and if it's just DNS
[06:01] <johny9> can we use video chat in ubuntu for yahoo messenger and skype
[06:02] <johny9> without any problem or disconnections
[06:02] <chipotle> hi, i restarted ubuntu after i installed it and it told me to remove the installation media, but my bios needs to select the right boot device. i selected the hard drive i think is the right one and i just get a purple screen for the past 5 minutes
[06:02] <zykotick9> johny9: yahoo video might be a problem...
[06:03] <johny9> what about google voice which google is providing free voice call within USA
[06:03] <linocisco> frustro, no command mrt found
[06:03] <frustro> linocisco, k, mtr <IP_ADDRESS> lets see if you have any routing and if it's just DNS
[06:03] <chipotle> is this normal?
[06:03] <frustro> mtr no mrt
[06:04] <linocisco> frustro, the thing is I want to make sure internet still working if i disable one Network card which link to one ISP.
[06:05] <ubuntu> HI
[06:05] <e-frame> hi, is there any specific channel for "ubuntu for android"? or it's just mixed here?
[06:05] <linocisco> frustro, I have two ISP links into two network cards eth0 and eth1. I disabled eth0 and disabled its nameserver and proxy and port in apt.conf. but still not working
[06:05] <bjrohan> rasusto: Unfortunatley the site portforward shows how to forward one port to a computer. From my android phone, If I create an ssh connection on port 23, and then port forward 23 to my computers static ip address, won't it go to port 23 by default, not 22 where I want it to go?
[06:05] <zykotick9> e-frame: try #ubuntu-phone
[06:05] <e-frame> zykotick9: thanks, i'll try
[06:05] <linocisco> e-frame, ubuntu for adroid will be better to tweak but slower loading and shutdown
[06:06] <ubuntu> HI ANY ONE AVAIL... THER?
[06:06] <frustro> linocisco, can you ping the gateway of eth1?
[06:06] <e-frame> linocisco: is it kinda dualboot
[06:06] <e-frame> ?
[06:06] <johny9> what about google voice which google is providing free voice call within USA
[06:06] <linocisco> e-frame, no good with dual boot if your device is with slow hardware
[06:07] <linocisco> frustro, yes. I can ping gateway of eth1
[06:07] <frustro> linocisco, do you have DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf?
[06:08] <ignoredthoughts> does anyone know why NetworkManager is so flawed from install
[06:08] <linocisco> frustro, yes. i disabled with # to nameservers of eth0 ISP1 link. and put extra entry of ISP2's DNS servers
[06:08] <pellos> how to install zend optimizer?
[06:08] <linocisco> frustro, nameserver x.x.x.x and namserver y.y.y.y. two lines
[06:09] <frustro> linocisco, DNS is DNS, dotn matter who servs it.  use <IP_ADDRESS> and 220.220 for both ISP...
[06:09] <e-frame> linocisco: i mean how do you get ubuntu on android phones? do you have to choose which os you want to use like dualboot? or you can switch between them anytime you want without reboot?
[06:09] <ignoredthoughts> lubuntu < linux mint XDE
[06:10] <CFHowlett> e-frame   maybe ask at #ubuntu-phone
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> ignoredthoughts: try wicd then
[06:10] <linocisco> frustro, two ISPs are different and we got only subnetted private IPs. even DNS servers are different
[06:10] <ActionParsnip> ignoredthoughts: or wifi-radar
[06:11] <ignoredthoughts> did wifi-radar
[06:11] <frustro> linocisco, take the cisco off your name.
[06:11] <ignoredthoughts> NetworkManager was a pain to set up
[06:11] <chipotle> so when i reboot ubuntu after my install i get (initramfs) after i select ubuntu from the grub menu
[06:11] <frustro> linocisco, DNS is DNS
[06:11] <ubuntu> how do i installed PHP in ubuntu
[06:11] <icebreaker> server irc.fullnetwork.org
[06:11] <chipotle> what do i do to get x working properly?
[06:11] <chipotle> or what did i do wrong?
[06:11] <linocisco> e-frame, I will replace android with ubuntu if ubuntu is better.
[06:11] <ignoredthoughts> I like being able to boot and work
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> !lamp | ubuntu
[06:11] <ignoredthoughts> Lubuntu makes you work for it
[06:11] <linocisco> frustro, why take cisco offf?
[06:11] <ActionParsnip> ignoredthoughts: it uses the same network manager in Ubuntu...
[06:12] <ignoredthoughts> ActionParsnip no no no the .cong isn't the same
[06:12] <ignoredthoughts> you have to alter from false to true
[06:12] <ignoredthoughts> and then it woks
[06:12] <ignoredthoughts> works
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> ignoredthoughts: never had an issue with it personally, maybe you have a weird wifi chip
[06:13] <ignoredthoughts> Nope
[06:13] <ignoredthoughts> That was set up okay
[06:13] <ActionParsnip> ignoredthoughts: mine works out of the box...
[06:13] <pellos> how to exit vi and save changes?
[06:13] <ignoredthoughts> I had to modify the .conf file

[06:13] <ignoredthoughts> nop
[06:13] <ignoredthoughts> i did good too
[06:13] <ignoredthoughts> i looked it up
[06:14] <ActionParsnip> ignoredthoughts: I suggest you report the bug then
[06:14] <ignoredthoughts> the bug has been reported solved
[06:14] <ignoredthoughts> why set it up so that it installs that way then
[06:14] <ignoredthoughts> it turns updown to false
[06:15] <ignoredthoughts> i want it up true
[06:15] <ActionParsnip> ignoredthoughts: report a new one then....
[06:15] <pellos> how to exit vi and save changes?
[06:15] <ignoredthoughts> action: im literally a noob
[06:15] <zykotick9> pellos: ESC then wq
[06:15] <ignoredthoughts> why report a bug if i'm not sure i'm reporting something useful?
[06:15] <zykotick9> pellos: or ESC then x
[06:15] <ignoredthoughts> my best exp was dealing with a python script
[06:16] <pellos> zykotick9: is there a command to search using vi? so i will not check all the php.ini ?
[06:16] <zykotick9> pellos: search forward with / and backward with ?
[06:16] <ignoredthoughts> i can't explain how difficult it was to make my comp not ask for install disk
[06:16] <ignoredthoughts> that was stupid

[06:25] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/settingup-an-ftp-server-on-ubuntu-with-proftpd.html
[06:25] <ubuntu>  how to install  FTP server in ubuntu ?
[06:25] <bazhang> ubuntu, check the link
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: why ask a question if you won't listen for replies??
[06:26] <dRounse> why cant i boot when i use unetbootin? everytime i try i get a boot error
[06:27] <ActionParsnip> dRounse: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[06:28] <dRounse> ActionParsnip no but i tried with multiple ISOs and ISOs that i have used before and they worked fine
[06:29] <CFHowlett> dRounse   verifying iso integrity takes a minute or 2 - and eliminates one of many possible error points...
[06:29] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | dRounse
[06:29] <dRounse> ok ill do it now
[06:31] <mi3> Hello!
[06:32] <CFHowlett> mi3   greetings
[06:32] <Tommyboy> hi
[06:33] <ubuntu> sorry i m using it 1 st time so i ca't understand it
[06:33] <MrDD> .
[06:33] <mi3> yo guys, when I load lshw from terminal it displays all the information but I need it to display only certain type of information like cache, cdrom[only the certain type]
[06:34] <CFHowlett> mi3   see grep command
[06:34] <mi3> okay
[06:34] <ActionParsnip> mi3: try:  sudo lshw -C drive; sudo lshw -C disk
[06:34] <mi3> ohh
[06:35] <ubuntu> after going no that link tell me further step ?
[06:35] <CFHowlett> *blush* much better and to the point AP.  sorry for partial info mi3
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: its all there dude
[06:35] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: I recommend installing openssh-server and using sftp
[06:36] <mi3> CFHowlett: I dont know how to use the grep command properly can you give an example? lets take an example of network
[06:37] <kriskropd> echo "my name is kris" | grep "kris"
[06:37] <CFHowlett> mi3 grep searches for a specific text string thus...
[06:37] <kriskropd> or 'ifcofnig | grep HW'
[06:37] <kriskropd> ifconfig*
[06:38] <CFHowlett> mi3 lspc -vvnn | grep 14e4 will search output for "14e4"
[06:38] <mi3> what is lspc?
[06:38] <zykotick9> a typo i believe
[06:38] <zykotick9> lspci
[06:38] <CFHowlett> mi3 lspci
[06:38] <CFHowlett> *fat finger typo*
[06:39] <mi3> hmm
[06:40] <kriskropd> i just got here, mi3, what are you trying to do?
[06:40] <mi3> means?
[06:40] <pellos> guys how can i install zend optimiser?
[06:40] <mi3> trying to get some hardware information from my pc kriskropd
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> CFHowlett: if you use the -i option on grep it makes it case (i)nsensitive
[06:40] <ActionParsnip> mi3: if you have a desktop UI, install lshw-gtk
[06:41] <CFHowlett> ActionParsnip   i'll check it out.  Thanks.
[06:41] <CFHowlett> pellos see http://www.zend.com/products/guard/downloads
[06:41] <dRounse> ActionParsnip the MD5 is the same
[06:41] <kriskropd> mi3 there is lspci, lsusb, lscpu, df -h  ~~ lots of stuff to tell you pc info, what's your goal?
[06:41] <mi3> ActionParsnip I need this lshw for my conky[love that monitor] so am figuring how to apply yhat
[06:41] <pellos> CFHowlett: I saw that. I didnt understood the reference i need to add in php.ini
[06:41] <mi3> ohh my goal is to display umm wait
[06:43] <mi3> kriskropd, processor, north bridge, southbridge and ram
[06:43] <pellos> also why i cant exit vi using esc ?
[06:43] <zykotick9> pellos: wasn't programmed with that key
[06:43] <kriskropd> mi3, gimme a sec , lscpu should ahve that info
[06:43] <theadmin> pellos: Because that's not the exit command in vi, esc switches to normal mode. Use :q
[06:44] <kriskropd> pellos, hit esc colon and either wq to write quit or q! to just quit
[06:44] <chipotle> hi, when you restart ubuntu for the first tiem after you install, does it sit at a purple screen for a long period of time before it loads up?
[06:44] <theadmin> chipotle: Normally no
[06:44] <chipotle> looks like only 30 seconds
[06:44] <chipotle> last time it took 10+ minutes and nothing happened
[06:44] <mi3> !I got cpu infor from etc/cat or something
[06:45] <chipotle> how do i read an HFS+ partition (mac osx)?
[06:45] <theadmin> chipotle: sudo apt-get install hfsprogs and then it should mount normally
[06:45] <mi3> ubottu I did not think so
[06:45] <mi3> ubottu I did not think so
[06:45] <kriskropd> mi3, cat is a program that prints the file
[06:46] <mi3> umm wait i added processor variable so forget about that processor pls advice me on northbridge, southbridge and ram
[06:46] <theadmin> mi3: For CPU info, use "cat /proc/cpuinfo", for RAM use "free -m"
[06:47] <Dogears> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/855037/plain/
[06:47] <mi3> theadmin i need the ram details like ram speed, voltage
[06:47] <theadmin> mi3: Oh, huh, just a second
[06:47] <mi3> also ram type like ddr2 or ddr3 theadmin
[06:48] <theadmin> mi3: cat /proc/meminfo
[06:48] <kriskropd> TIL , check /proc more often :D
[06:48] <chipotle> theadmin: how do i get permissions to copy to another hdd (it's ext4) i got an error say i don't have permission
[06:48] <theadmin> chipotle: Mount it properly
[06:48] <linocisco> hi
[06:49] <linocisco> who could help me setup proxy server with two ISP link making failover?
[06:49] <theadmin> mi3: Also, "sudo dmidecode --type 17 | less"
[06:49] <chipotle> theadmin: and my sudo passwd is the same passwd as my user account?
[06:49] <theadmin> chipotle: Sure
[06:50] <chipotle> theadmin: is there a way i can change it?
[06:50] <DansTheMan> How do I get a list of all recently installed packages?
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> Dogears: you need to remove those packages then just install adobe-installer   from the partner repo
[06:50] <pellos> I entered a file using vi how can i write in that file now ?
[06:50] <Dogears> Thanks
[06:50] <theadmin> chipotle: You need to change your user password
[06:50] <Xanthippus> Heeey
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> Dogears: you have 2 flash plugins installed as well as some old config stuff from flashplugin-downloader 32bit
[06:50] <fairuz_> pellos: ctrl + I
[06:50] <mi3> ohh thanks a lot theadmin
[06:51] <fairuz_> pellos: shift + I
[06:51] <zykotick9> fairuz_: what?
[06:51] <mi3> how do you end that? theadmin
[06:51] <theadmin> mi3: Kill less? Just hit escape or q
[06:52] <mi3> ohh thanks theadmin
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> Dogears: http://paste.ubuntu.com/855046/
[06:52] <zykotick9> pellos: perhaps running "vimtutor" would be beneficial for you
[06:52] <mi3> the thing is it requires sudo everytime so how do I set it in conky theadmin?
[06:52] <kriskropd> ^
[06:53] <DansTheMan> How do I get a list of all recently installed packages (using 11.10 terminal)?
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> DansTheMan: check the back end of /var/log/dpkg.log
[06:53] <Dogears> ActionParsnip:  Thanks for your help. That is fantastic.
[06:54] <theadmin> mi3: There are many ways you could approach that. Simpliest is: redirect the output to a file, and print that file in conky
[06:54] <DansTheMan> ActionParsnip: Sorry? :S
[06:54] <pellos> and i last question what thats mean PHP Deprecated:  Comments starting with '#' are deprecated in /etc/php5/cli/conf.d/imap.ini on line 1 in Unknown on line 0 ?
[06:54] <mi3> okay, should i try pre_exec sudo in that conky? will that work?
[06:54] <CFHowlett> ActionParsnip   now THAT is some good foo-fu!  I've been wanting to know my installed package list for  a while!
[06:54] <zykotick9> DansTheMan: you might also want to check if you have a /var/log/apt/history.log
[06:55] <theadmin> pellos: ini comments normally start with ";", not "#".
[06:55] <fox_> hello
[06:55] <pellos> theadmin: is this error something to worry about?
[06:55] <DansTheMan> zykotick9: No, I don't. But I do have a dpkg log.
[06:55] <fox_> im not broadcasting my ip am i?
[06:56] <DansTheMan> How can I filter out installed programs only and display it in terminal? :S
[06:56] <theadmin> pellos: Well... you should really fix the file. Right now it's nothing, but sometime later it might cause trouble
[06:56] <mi3> theadmin?
[06:56] <theadmin> DansTheMan: dpkg -L
[06:56] <mi3> should i try pre_exec sudo in that conky? will that work?
[06:56] <DansTheMan> * fox_<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has joined #ubuntu
[06:56] <pellos> theadmin how can i fix the file? and how it is possible to be broken if i never touch it ?
[06:56] <DansTheMan> theadmin: Needs at least one package argument :-/
[06:56] <fox_> hello?

[07:01] <CFHowlett> ubuntu redhat? ...
[07:01] <soreau> fox_: How is that a ubuntu question? Perhaps you should try #windows
[07:01] <ubuntu> ya
[07:01] <fox_> i know i know...
[07:02] <mi3> okay why do we need 3 floodbots? isn't one enough?
[07:02] <fox_> but with wine and such the lines are blurring, eh?
[07:02] <kriskropd> fox_ not really no
[07:03] <theadmin> mi3: That's more of a question for #ubuntu-irc , not here
[07:03] <fox_> its not windows im interested in tho
[07:03] <urfr332gO> san, where did you get burg from?
[07:03] <soreau> fox_: No. This is the official ubuntu support channel. Problems with netcat on windows is in no way a ubuntu issue

[07:03] <mi3> thanks
[07:03] <apporc> Hi, hackers. anyone know the function of 'host' in dhcpd's configuration file?

[07:04] <apporc> Hi, hackers. anyone know the function of 'host' in dhcpd's configuration file? Does it determine the hostname or something else for those clients?

[07:05] <pellos> Guys and a last question.. i installed zend optimiser version 2.2 i need to install version 3
[07:05] <san> urfr332g0, i installed super boot manager
[07:05] <chipotle> theadmin: local
[07:05] <pellos> what i do in such a case ?
[07:06] <kriskropd> chipotle, or samba or nfs
[07:06] <pellos> install in a same way the new version?
[07:06] <chipotle> theadmin: well, is there a good file manager to view files across various hard drives
[07:06] <chipotle> kriskropd: yeah, but is there an interface/application to make it easy?
[07:06] <urfr332gO> san, use the tab complete of nics. run sudo apt-get purge burg-pc burg-common  that will remove it completly then run sudo grub-instal /dev/sdX      the X is the hd your putting grub 2 back in the mbr then run sudo updte-grub
[07:06] <san> urfr332g0, is there anyway that i can go back? anything like system restore?
[07:06] <kriskropd> chipotle depending ont he protocol, i like Gigolo on my netbook
[07:06] <theadmin> chipotle: Uhm... pcmanfm, nautilus, any file manager?
[07:07] <ubuntu> koee hai...
[07:07] <mi3> hu na ubuntu
[07:07] <san> urfr332g0, u are not getting point my friend my grub2 is running perfectly but burg is not removed properly so it is broken
[07:07] <chipotle> where are mounted volumes in ubuntu? /mnt?
[07:07] <urfr332gO> san, this is all from inside the running ubuntu the sdX should be sda or sdb depending on what the hd is, no partition number
[07:07] <san> urfr332g0, i dont have problem in booting
[07:07] <mi3> bolna ubuntu
[07:07] <step_offset> chipotle: /media/
[07:07] <Jordan_U> san: Can you pastebin the ouptu of "sudo apt-get -f install"?
[07:07] <fidel> chipotle: that depends on the user basically
[07:08] <fidel> at least in case you mount manually
[07:08] <step_offset> chipotle: in general they are mounted by pmount
[07:08] <san> Jordan_u, ok giveme 1 min
[07:08] <kriskropd> chipotle, wherever you moutn them, /mnt /media, Gigolo is more temporary so itll put them in ~/.gvfs
