[10:26] <Guest97554> [dw]_ we finished exactly in the middle of the soccer league
[10:26] <Reno_> 4 GB
[10:26] <[dw]_> Guest97554: could be better, could be worse
[10:26] <Gnea> Reno_: desktop or laptop?
[10:27] <Reno_> desktop, I'm not going to hibernate it so I guess I'm fine with just /
[10:27] <Gnea> Reno_: then make a 4gig swap partition
[10:27] <llutz_> Reno_: you always can add swap-files if you really need later
[10:27] <Gnea> swap partitions are much more efficient and faster
[10:27] <anygivenname> Gnea: nice option.....set it to 600 secs....which is the max
[10:27] <Guest97554> Gnea sudo apt-get install install-css.sh or install css.sh won't work
[10:27] <Reno_> is swap similar to page filing?
[10:28] <llutz_> Gnea: that has been true, years ago
[10:28] <Gnea> anygivenname: huh?
[10:28] <Guest97554> you guys are all highly gifted, aren't you?
[10:28] <Gnea> Guest97554: of course not, it should already be on the system
[10:28] <[dw]_> Reno_: yup
[10:28] <zetheroo> trying to comment on the bug#1 in launchpad ... but page keeps timing out :P
[10:28] <anygivenname> Gnea: so no one can log-in after me for 600 secs
[10:28] <Gnea> llutz_: it still is true
[10:28] <Gnea> llutz_: with a swap file you're still chewing on inodes
, page filing is slow in XP how is it any different in ubuntu?
[10:29] <anygivenname> Gnea: but there is no option of setting screensaver to work immediately after log-in....the minimum is 1 minute
[10:29] <[dw]_> Reno_: its backup in case you load 100 videos on youtube and run out of ram
[10:29] <llutz_> Gnea: the fs-overhead can be ignored on modern hardware. you might measure differences, but you won't "feel" them. swap is slow as hell in any way
[10:29] <[dw]_> Reno_: you needi t
[10:29] <JoeMaverickSett> in which scenario should/would a user partition a disk to have separate / and /home and /boot?
[10:29] <Gnea> anygivenname: so let it go 1 minute. what's the chance someone else will be there?
[10:29] <[dw]_> Reno_: if you are always swapping, get more ram
[10:30] <ectospasm> JoeMaverickSett: it could simplify backups
[10:30] <Reno_> dw, is there a prefered file type, NFTC or ext?
[10:30] <[dw]_> Reno_: Linux Swap is a type i think
[10:30] <Gnea> llutz_: modern hardware still works with software the same way that older hardware did, that hasn't changed.
[10:30] <JoeMaverickSett> ectospasm: ah, okie. thanks. :)
[10:30] <llutz_> Gnea: but the overall performance differs
[10:30] <anygivenname> Gnea: yeah right.....now my development phase is complete....I am ready to move this implementation to a new machine
[10:31] <[dw]_> Reno_: goog ubuntu swap :)
[10:31] <ectospasm> JoeMaverickSett: also, it could be easier to resize /home, but more difficult to resize / (or /boot)
[10:31] <blackbox> hi, i'm copying 1Tb to 1Tb over dd, it's REALLY slow, how do i make it faster?
[10:31] <blackbox> !ping
[10:31] <JoeMaverickSett> ectospasm: one more thing, how much should /boot have for it's partition?
[10:31] <Reno_> googleing is difficult mang.
[10:31] <ectospasm> JoeMaverickSett: I don't have /boot on its own partition anymore
[10:31] <[dw]_> when you master it nothing can stop you
[10:31] <Gnea> llutz_: in this case, hard drives themselves haven't changed too much in that regard. you still have a filesystem sitting between the physical layer and the swapfile itself, the system itself needs to be aware of those changes. when it's a partition, the needs for those changes at the filesystem level are effectively not there.
[10:31] <llutz_> Gnea: 15yrs ago i didn't have any drive transfering 80MB/s
[10:31] <juk> :q
[10:32] <JoeMaverickSett> ectospasm: ah, never mind then, thanks for answering though. ;)
[10:32] <Gnea> llutz_: it's just good practice to help users hard drives last longer
[10:32] <ectospasm> JoeMaverickSett: what is your purpose to putting /boot on its own part?
[10:32] <Gnea> anygivenname: ok
[10:32] <blackbox> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/279109/
[10:32] <ectospasm> JoeMaverickSett: it's a throwback to previous incantations of GRUB and LILO that needed it
[10:33] <JoeMaverickSett> ectospasm: i've no purpose of such, i was just playing around with partition the other day and saw /boot.so, i was wondering.
[10:33] <Reno_> Does it matter which partition I put Boot Loader on?
[10:33] <Gnea> llutz_: unless of course they're 1TB drives, in which case they're gonna fail one way or another simply due to the sheer design
[10:33] <anygivenname> I know it is not as easy as copying this HDD to the new HDD.....there must be additional work needed
[10:33] <ectospasm> JoeMaverickSett: boot.so?
[10:33] <JoeMaverickSett> etotheipi: /boot
[10:33] <JoeMaverickSett> sorry, etotheipi. wrong tab.
[10:33] <JoeMaverickSett> ectospasm: /boot
[10:34] <ectospasm> JoeMaverickSett: I just had a problem where for some reason /etc/fstab had an entry for /boort
[10:34] <ectospasm> s/rt/t/
[10:34] <llutz_> JoeMaverickSett: you still need eytra /boot  when using lvm or xfs or other filesystems, your bootmanager cannot handle
[10:34] <ectospasm> llutz_: you don't need a separate /boot for lvm
[10:35] <Gnea> !lvm
[10:35] <llutz_> ectospasm: grub2 can boot from it?
[10:35] <ectospasm> llutz_: I'm booted now without one
[10:35] <ectospasm> llutz_: yep
[10:35] <llutz_> ectospasm: sorry then, grub1 can't
[10:35] <Gnea> llutz_: I've used LVM without /boot winding up on its own partition too
[10:35] <naftilos76> Hi everyone, i was wondering whether anybody has tried sharing internet through a high power WiFi usb adapter widely available in ebay. Check this out: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250715589729 . The only cretiria is that the adapter must support Master mode. If it does, then you can use it to transmit to long distances! Any experience with that?
[10:36] <Gnea> !wireless | naftilos76 follow the link here to find a link to a list of supported wifi cards:
[10:36] <ikonia> naftilos76: not really anything to do with ubuntu
[10:36] <naftilos76> thanks guys
[10:36] <Gnea> ikonia: sure it is
[10:37] <blackbox> hidek, i'm copying 1Tb to 1Tb over dd, it's REALLY slow, how do i make it faster?
[10:37] <dwarder> what do you use to connect to your remote windows xp
[10:37] <dwarder> desctop
[10:37] <cast> blackbox: copy less than 1Tb
[10:37] <ectospasm> blackbox: are the two files on the same filesystem?
[10:38] <Gnea> blackbox: make a pizza or something
[10:38] <ectospasm> blackbox: 1TB takes a LOOOOOOONG time to copy
[10:38] <blackbox> cast, they're Tb drives
[10:38] <ectospasm> blackbox: considering even the fastest SATA drives work at 6GB/s
[10:38] <llutz_> blackbox: what blocksize did you use?
[10:38] <blackbox> 4M
[10:38] <cast> ectospasm: eh, they do....
[10:38] <Gnea> blackbox: you'll just have to be patient
[10:38] <john38> Anybody here own a Phenom II X4 processor
[10:39] <cast> ectospasm: you must have really expensive SSD disks :)
[10:39] <blackbox><PHONE_NUMBER>48 bytes (232 GB) copied, 16416.3 s, 14.2 MB/s
[10:39] <ectospasm> cast: SATA3 does 6GB
[10:39] <ectospasm> or whatever it's called
[10:39] <blackbox> i'm using sata2... should be much faster
[10:39] <cast> ectospasm: right. from that all we can take is that SATA isn't the bottleneck
[10:40] <doc|home> blackbox: you're probably saturating your motherboard's chipset
[10:40] <blackbox> my hwinfo http://paste.pocoo.org/show/279109/
[10:40] <ectospasm> blackbox: why are you using dd and not something higher level like rsync?
[10:40] <Gnea> blackbox: are you sure you're using the correct sata cables?
[10:41] <ranjhith> hello guys
[10:41] <unimatrix9> helloall you good people
[10:41] <meu> Hi everyone, I'd like to add some items to a mouse menu under right button in gnome (menu on a desktop not in nautilus), how can I do that? Thanks.
[10:41] <unimatrix9> !nautilus scripts
[10:41] <blackbox> i'm using dd because I want everything to be a perfect mirror
[10:42] <rweng> hi guys. so is installed this new ubuntu 10.10 server. I know it, that when a script has an error it shows the error with the stacktrace. but on the new server i get only back error: 1 argument missing. I tried everything, even installing rvm with a different ruby, nothing got me the old stacktrace back (not even a begin rescue around the script). Any idea how to change this behavior? Is there an env-variable to set the output to stacktrace? I wou
[10:42] <rweng> like to switch back to ubuntu 10.04 because of that.
[10:42] <ectospasm> blackbox: you get no checks on corruption there, though
[10:42] <ectospasm> blackbox: what good is the transfer if it's corrupted?
[10:42] <blackshell> how  do i delete a few entry from my grub, i have like 6 ubuntu boot entry after many updates
[10:43] <caperz> hi
[10:43] <cast> ectospasm: eh, dd isn't going to corrupt it anymore than an invocation of rsync would
[10:44] <Gnea> ectospasm: how would it be corrupted?
[10:44] <caperz> is this the correct place to ask for help on ubuntu game connections?
[10:44] <ectospasm> cast: yes, but if dd fails, you gotta start over from the beginning
[10:44] <sresu> Is update-manager-core part of Maverick updates or Lucid LTS updates? !info update-manager-core
[10:44] <cast> ectospasm: you don't have to. dd has seek/skip options.
[10:44] <rweng> or where would i create an issue for this? an ubuntu bugtracking tool out there?
[10:44] <ectospasm> cast: yeah, but with rsync you let the tool decide
[10:45] <sresu> !info update-manager-core
[10:45] <sresu> When I
[10:46] <meu> I'd like to change name of the item for example  from "Create Folder' to 'New folder' in menu under RMB on the desktop, can I do that somewhere in gconf-editor ?
[10:46] <furryotter> I'm looking for a command to remove the : character from a lot of files in one directory
[10:46] <unimatrix9> i am trying to make an usb live pendrive for 10.10, all goes well, but the usb gets an error at boot , any tips are welcome
[10:46] <sresu> When I'm using Lucid Lynx, then why am I getting updates for Maverick like update-manager-core package?
[10:46] <ectospasm> furryotter: where is the colon in relation to those filenames?
[10:47] <cast> furryotter: fgrep -v would do that
[10:47] <llutz_> furryotter: sed/perl
[10:47] <cast> furryotter: hold on...ignore that, tr :)
[10:47] <furryotter> ectospasm: in the middle. it looks like 00.12.88:22.txt
[10:47] <blackbox> ectospasm, I don't think it;s a good idea, i'm doing 2 drives... they're in LVM and there's a folder that breaches across both drives (1.5tb) so i don't htink rsync can help me there
[10:47] <nickmoeck> sresu: I believe they push an update to the previous update-manager when a new version is released
[10:48] <cast> echo "test:-"|tr -d ":"
[10:48] <silv3r_m00n> when using ffmpeg what does q=31.0 mean ?
[10:48] <llutz_> furryotter: rename 's/\:/_/' *.txt     to replace it with _
[10:48] <ectospasm> blackbox: wait, so both drives are physical volumes of the same volume group?
[10:48] <sresu> nickmoeck: Maybe...
[10:49] <sresu> !-info update-manager-core
[10:49] <blackbox> yes
[10:49] <blackbox> ectospasm, that's what LVM is good for isn't it?
[10:50] <iExitus> Any1 know what would be the best screenlet for viewing "computer stats" (Ex. Lolmacs iStat)
[10:50] <ectospasm> blackbox: yeah, that's fine, until you need to migrate data off one pv
[10:50] <ectospasm> blackbox: what are you trying to do, again?
[10:50] <fr00d> Hello!
[10:50] <blackbox> dd
[10:51] <ectospasm> blackbox: that's not specific enough
[10:51] <ectospasm> blackbox: give me something higher level than that
[10:51] <blackbox> ectospasm, exactly copy what's on one set to 1Tb drives to another
[10:51] <fr00d> I'm trying to run ietd to provice iscsi-targets but when starting in debug mode I get this error message: http://pastebin.ca/1970736
[10:51] <blackbox> ectospasm, i'm going to make a mdadm array
[10:51] <fr00d> Can somebody tell me what's wrong?
[10:52] <cast> can't you let mdadm deal with the resyncing
[10:52] <blackbox> ectospasm, and I need to back up the drives before I put them in
[10:52] <cast> ahh
[10:52] <cast> backups, are good :<
[10:52] <blackbox> yes
[10:52] <sresu> iExitus: Are you searching for something like nickmoeck System Activity?
[10:52] <blackbox> I've never done mdadm before so i want to be sure I don't loose my data
[10:52] <ectospasm> blackbox: outside my realm of expertise
[10:53] <cast> blackbox: be cautious of duplicate UUIDs after you dd
[10:53] <sresu> Sorry nickmoeck.. typo
[10:53] <Guest97554> crawler it now works !
[10:53] <KillGuta> Yep, it just happened
[10:53] <nickmoeck> no worries, sresu :)
[10:53] <KillGuta> Downloading with Deluge
[10:53] <crawler> Guest97554: glad to hear it, so you followed the guide for medibuntu?
[10:53] <ectospasm> I *may* be using mdadm with my new RAID array, but I just let the alternate installer handle it
[10:54] <nickmoeck> iExitus: you might want to try conky
[10:54] <blackbox> cast, good point, won't have to though, they're jsut data drives in LVM though, should be fine
[10:54] <iExitus> nickmoeck: thanks, Ill give it a try :)
[10:55] <crawler> iExitus: the Screenlets software also has a similar applet
[10:55] <crawler> iExitus: but conky is far more configurable
[10:55] <iExitus> crawler: Ahh I somehow jsut didnt like it, maybe I am just too much for looks
[10:55] <cast> blackbox: well, except now you have duplicate PVs
[10:55] <Syria> Guys how can I configure the email Desklet to run automatically on system login?
[10:55] <iExitus> crawler: gotta try that conky
[10:56] <sresu> iExitus: Have you tried top on CLI?
[10:57] <crawler> Syria: add it to your startup apps: System > Preferences > Startup Applications
[10:57] <john38> Why does ubuntu have so many updates???
[10:57] <iExitus> sresu: yeah, but gotta say that I didnt like it either :D
[10:57] <furryotter> llutz: rename 's/\:/_/' *.txt doesn't grab the : from between two sets of digits
[10:57] <joesin> how do I launch minecraft from ubuntu?
[10:57] <blackshell> how i do i modify entries from boot list?
[10:57] <Syria> crawler: I run this desklet from the gDesklets application so what should I put in the startup list pleasE?
[10:58] <joesin> I tried grepping the way my friend did it when he was over but he has way more foo then me
[10:58] <joesin> java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
[10:58] <joesin> thats how he rolled, and I dont even know what have that ish means
[10:58] <ectospasm> !grub | blackshell
[10:59] <crawler> Syria: i don't know, never used gDesklets..is there an option in gDesklets configuration to run @ system startup maybe?
[10:59] <john38> Why does ubuntu have so many updates???
[10:59] <joesin> no minecraft love here?
[10:59] <ectospasm> john38: what, you don't want your software to be secure?
[10:59] <john38> yeah
[10:59] <oddy> john38: because updates add new features and makes your system secure
[10:59] <KillGuta> Performance > Security
[10:59] <john38> ok ok
[10:59] <Jordan_U> blackshell: Remove the old kernels via apt/synaptic.
[10:59] <iExitus> would it be possible to add that "conky" in to the widget layer?
[10:59] <blackshell> ectospasm:i know that,but how can i delete entries from /etc/default/grub file?
[11:00] <john38> how much space does ubuntu usally take on system
[11:00] <joesin> nothing equals security
[11:00] <blackshell> Jordan_u:how do i remove old kernels from apt?
[11:00] <oddy> joesin: you sound like a bsd user ;) jk
[11:00] <KillGuta> Yes, because it's useless for the "everyday" user :P
[11:00] <oddy> is there a nice tutorial for downgrading when i have seperate partitions for / and /home?
[11:00] <joesin> oddy: is there agood one? define...
[11:00] <john38> Any AMD junkies here
[11:00] <Syria> crawler: Thank you. :)
[11:00] <ectospasm> blackshell: use your favorite editor (nano, vim, gedit) and do it?
[11:01] <ectospasm> blackshell: are the old kernels hurting anything?
[11:01] <crawler> Syria: you're welcome
[11:01] <joesin> pardon... a good....
[11:01] <oddy> joesin: no, BSD it's another unix-like OS that is very security centric
[11:01] <blackshell> ectospasm:but in /etc/default/grub how can i remove entries
[11:01] <ectospasm> oddy: there isn't one "BSD"
[11:01] <nickmoeck> oddy: downgrading from maverick to lucid?
[11:01] <Jordan_U> blackshell: "dpkg -S /boot/" to list all the currently installed kernel packages, then "sudo apt-get remove" the old ones.
[11:01] <crawler> iExitus: not sure, conky can be run as a daemon with the --daemonize switch
[11:01] <oddy> nickmoeck: yes
[11:01] <joesin> does bsd cover physical access to a host?
[11:02] <john38> the way i see Linux is perfect i can browse safely
[11:02] <oddy> ectospasm: yeah but all of the BSD distros are security centric
[11:02] <jpcl> I cant start software-center. Suddenly stopped working. Anyone know what is wrong and how to fix it?
[11:02] <ectospasm> oddy: oh, and GNU/Linux isn't?
[11:02] <oddy> ectospasm: i'm thinking more along the lines of linus' "masturbating monkeys" remark
[11:02] <ectospasm> oddy: I'd wager MacOSX isn't "security centric"
[11:02] <nickmoeck> oddy: Um... I don't think that's anywhere close to supported or recommended by... well, anyone
[11:02] <joesin> oddy: how quick can you destroy your data... local and abroad....
[11:03] <oddy> joesin: umm i don't know
[11:03] <blackshell> Jordan_U:thanks
[11:03] <crawler> iExitus: if you use compiz, the ccsm has widget layer options, you can try to grab the conky window from there

[11:06] <joesin> his foo is better  then I
[11:07] <nickmoeck> oddy: since your /home is on a separate partition, you could do a clean install of Lucid and just not format your /home. of course, all of your applications will need to be reinstalled
[11:07] <sresu> jpcl: What does <software-center> say in CLI?
[11:07] <john38> oddy, you mean if i create launcher
[11:07] <oddy> john38:yeah
[11:07] <oddy> nickmoeck: is there anything special i need in ubiquity to do other than what you just said?

[11:10] <llutz_> ubuntuman: /etc/init /etc/init.d
[11:10] <john38> oddy, i chose application in terminal then typed name of program but what do put in as command
[11:11] <oddy> what is the program you are trying to run?
[11:11] <ubuntuman> llutz: would this do anything - grep -i halt /etc/init
[11:11] <oddy> sorry, john38: what is the program you are trying ot run
[11:11] <crawler> milen8204: if it's an .exe file you should just be able to double-click it
[11:11] <jpcl> sresu, cant paste it its to much text..
[11:11] <joesin> jordan: looking now
[11:11] <john38> oddy, its a proprietary program for my scanner
[11:11] <joesin> tried it...
[11:11] <joesin> same command I posted above
[11:11] <oddy> john38: what is the program called?
[11:11] <john38> oddy, installed .deb files

[11:12] <milen8204> crawler, yes thanks but i want to create a shot cut
[11:12] <john38> oddy, Scangearmp
[11:12] <Jordan_U> joesin: Were you in the same directory as the .jar file?
[11:12] <milen8204> /home/milen/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Common Files/World of Warcraft/Wow.exe
[11:12] <joesin> jordan: smooth... have not even tried and know you are correct...
[11:12] <llutz_> ubuntuman: what do you expect it to do?
[11:12] <joesin> brb
[11:12] <milen8204> :)
[11:12] <oddy> john38, type "whereis scangearmp" in terminal and tell me the output
[11:12] <ubuntuman> Jordan_U: i am now on UNR and it still fails to boot, i held down the return key and the shift key...both do the same thing
[11:12] <sresu> jpcl: http://pastebin.com/ Paste it here and give the link
[11:13] <Jordan_U> joesin: Can you use http://pastebin.ubuntu.com to give the exact output, including the exact command you ran?
[11:13] <ubuntuman> llutz: well i was told that it would show me the issue i am getting when booting, as when i boot i have to hold down the return key
[11:13] <john38> oddy, /usr/bin/scangearmp /usr/share/scangearmp
[11:13] <joesin> jordan: I think you are correct
[11:13] <oddy> ok then, in the "command" section, write "/usr/bin/scangearmp" (without quotes)
[11:13] <joesin> lemme try real quick
[11:13] <noob-tux> milen8204: sure? WOW works on wine?
[11:13] <crawler> milen8204: from the terminal you can use "wine nameofprogram.exe"
[11:14] <milen8204> noob-tux, yes
[11:14] <Leman_Russ> hey.  how can i find out if my kernal has a realtime patch?
[11:14] <oddy> sorry, john38: in the "command" section, write "/usr/bin/scangearmp" (without quotes)
[11:14] <jpcl> sresu, http://pastebin.com/NZa1GQrG
[11:14] <Jordan_U> ubuntuman: Are you trying to boot the installer / liveUSB or the installed system?
[11:14] <milen8204> crawler, ok i will try
[11:14] <ubuntuman> Jordan_U i have had it installed but at the moment its running from USB Live
[11:15] <john38> oddy, what i want to do is open program through desktop
[11:15] <sresu> jpcl: <sudo dpkg --configure -a> and then update and try again. By that time I see the link..
[11:15] <Jordan_U> ubuntuman: Did you have to hold return to boot from the live USB also?
[11:15] <milen8204> didn`t work
[11:15] <joesin> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/518631/
[11:15] <milen8204> crawler, didnt work
[11:15] <ubuntuman> Jordan_U: yes i tried twice. once with the return and another time with the shift. both booted eventually
[11:16] <oddy> john38: so, you right click on desktop, change the drop down menu to "program in terminal" change the command to "/usr/bin/scangearmp" and change the name to "scangearmp" and press OK
[11:16] <Jordan_U> joesin: What is the exact command you ran?
[11:16] <john38> oddy, ok got it
[11:17] <john38> oddy, where is the icons for the simple scan program
[11:17] <jpcl> sresu, Thank you, it worked! :D
[11:17] <joesin> java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
[11:17] <oddy> probably in /usr/share/icons/homan
[11:17] <oddy> *human
[11:17] <nickmoeck> Leman_Russ: The Ubuntu kernel by default does not have realtime support.  Before Maverick, there was a -rt version of most kernels, but in Maverick, there are none
[11:17] <joesin> cant find the jar
[11:17] <oddy> i've got to go, can someone help john38 find the scanner icon?
[11:17] <oddy> byebye
[11:17] <joesin> do I have to run this from downloads?
[11:17] <joesin> lemme try
[11:18] <sresu> jpcl: It worked?!
[11:18] <crawler> milen8204: make a launcher, and for the command put "wine /path/to/program.exe" without the quotes
[11:18] <Leman_Russ> nickmoeck: thanks.
[11:18] <cousteau> is it a good idea to install the ubuntu-desktop package without the recommends? (starting from a minimal install)
[11:18] <noob-tux> does anyone tried this PlayonLinux thingy in games? mine doesnt work on warcraft I any help?
[11:18] <joesin> jordan: you are the man sir
[11:18] <cousteau> or could it cause problems?
[11:18] <john38> Anybody know where the Simple Scan icons are?
[11:19] <milen8204> crawler, /home/milen/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Common Files/World of Warcraft  <- that is the path ?
[11:19] <jpcl> sresu, i wrote what you said, and now I can start software center again
[11:19] <sresu> jpcl: Umm.. Ok. Welcome :)
[11:19] <ubuntuman> anyone understand why when ubuntu (or any linux) i try and boot i have to hold down the return key?
[11:19] <cousteau> quote the path if it contains spaces
[11:19] <milen8204> crawler, or c:/Program Files/Common Files/World of Warcraft
[11:19] <Aut0Exec> hi fellas
[11:19] <Aut0Exec> whats crackin?
[11:19] <milen8204> hi Aut0Exec
[11:20] <coz_> ubuntuman,   is it an apple system?
[11:20] <crawler> milen8204: i don't know, i never played WoW, but you must find the .exe (not usually in common files) but in possible the a WoW folder in within Program Files
[11:20] <Aut0Exec> I cant get this ummm... sudoers file to work .. I want NOPASSWD
[11:20] <ubuntuman> coz_: nope toshiba NB200 Netbook
[11:20] <john38> Anybody know where the Simple Scan icons are?
[11:20] <Aut0Exec> I did just like example
[11:20] <coz_> ubuntuman,  and did you install this via live cd ?
[11:21] <Jordan_U> ubuntuman: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"?
[11:21] <milen8204> crawler, thanks i will try that
[11:21] <ubuntuman> coz_ : atm its running from Live USB but i have had it installed with the same issue
[11:21] <crawler> milen8204: ok, good luck
[11:21] <ubuntuman> Jordan_U: how do i get the output of the dmesg?
[11:21] <coz_> ubuntuman,  in terminal
[11:21] <crawler> john38: maybe try /usr/share/icons/applications/
[11:21] <Jordan_U> ubuntuman: run "dmesg" in a terminal.
[11:21] <Jordan_U> !terminal | ubuntuman
[11:22] <llutz_> Aut0Exec: see "man sudoers" the "FULLTIMERS" example, change it to your user if you REALLY know what you're doing there
[11:22] <milen8204> crawler, i thing that program files have a space between program and files that mess up everything
[11:22] <Aut0Exec> ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL <= is this right for NOPASSWD?
[11:22] <john38> crawler, you /usr/share/icons/humanity??
[11:22] <john38> crawler, mean
[11:22] <Aut0Exec> llutz, ok I know what i'm doing
[11:23] <crawler> john38: it's in /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/scanner.png
[11:23] <ubuntuman> coz_ , Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/j6EC7cEh
[11:24] <ubuntuman> Jordan_U: i hope thats the entire thing i copied from terminal
[11:24] <crawler> milen8204: you mean to say the wow.exe file is in common files?
[11:24] <john38> crawler, im there i dont see scanner.png
[11:24] <crawler> john38: it's in /usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/devices/scanner.png
[11:25] <john38> crawler, nope
[11:25] <crawler> john38: well, it's there on my 10.10 installation
[11:25] <sms_> Places->home-->Movie player displaying pictures in my home folder. Same for every folder except network and computer. ??
[11:25] <atude> Hello, how do I remove the kubuntu splash from my startup? I need verbose output instead
[11:25] <john38> crawler, i got 10.04 lucid
[11:26] <crawler> john38: you can find it, go into alacarte (menu editor) and edit it's properties
[11:26] <e01> i had problem with plymouth, i was reading in forums that i have to make new initrd but it won`t start it
[11:26] <milen8204> crawler, I mean that Linux does not recognized folder "Program files" as a folder because there is space in it's name
[11:26] <crawler> john38: click the icon and it will lead you to the folder
[11:26] <llutz_> atude: edit /etc/default/grub and run "sudo update-grub" then
[11:26] <e01> when i start computer there is no text mode, just blank screen and then apear gdm
[11:26] <milen8204> i think i didi it
[11:26] <sresu> nickmoeck:  How to have conky work in this way http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/06/Conkyubuntu.png ?
[11:27] <milen8204> crawler, i changed the name /home/milen/.wine/dosdevices/c:/WOW/Wow.exe
[11:27] <milen8204> crawler,  and it works that way , thanks a lot
[11:27] <rohith_> atude: remove plymouth sudo apt-get remove plymouth
[11:28] <crawler> milen8204: ok, but it might not work from that directory
[11:28] <Ashkaar> Hi, I would like to install my touchpad of a lenovo g550 notebook. It is not listed in /proc/bus/input/devices Any idea?
[11:28] <crawler> milen8204: have it read Program\ Files
[11:28] <milen8204> crawler, it works that way :)
[11:28] <atude> llutz_: what would I change?
[11:28] <crawler> milen8204: good :)
[11:29] <crawler> milen8204: the \ escapes the space i believe
[11:29] <glaucous> Anyone here using a ATI HD5XXX card with ATI proprietary drivers? I'm wondering how far you're able to downclock your card using ATI Overdrive - you can check it by 'aticonfig --od-getclocks'
[11:29] <milen8204> crawler, no it didnd read Program files
[11:29] <llutz_> atude: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"   <- remove quiet splash
[11:29] <john38> crawler, what icon for simple scan?
[11:29] <milen8204> crawler, good to know thanks a lot
[11:29] <Ashkaar> Actually, scrolling is not possible...
[11:29] <atude> llutz_: the next line says "splash vga=786", is that okay?
[11:30] <Jordan_U> ubuntuman: Nothing pops out at me from that output. Once before I've seen a problem where the kernel locks up every few seconds and the only way to "unfreeze" it is to do anything that sends a hardware interrupt, including pressing a key on the keyboard, the power button on the case, or using the network card.
[11:30] <crawler> milen8204: wine /home/milen/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program\ Files/Common Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/wow.exe
[11:30] <Jordan_U> ubuntuman: Your problem sounds like it may be similar, though the problem I saw before didn't go away after booting successfully.
[11:30] <ubuntuman> Jordan_U: so there is no fix for this issue then? is there not a way to make no halt
[11:31] <llutz_> atude: line starts with what? LINX_CMDLINE?
[11:31] <milen8204> crawler, thanks dude i`have done the starter already when i changed the name :)
[11:31] <atude> llutz_: yes
[11:31] <llutz_> atude: remove the splash there too
[11:31] <ubuntuman> Jordan_ well its now in and i am using it. but previously if i hadnt used it in a while it just locks up
[11:31] <crawler> john38: from a terminal, type alacarte.  then go to simple scan, and edit the properties.  click the icon in the upper right, and it should tell you the location
[11:31] <Jordan_U> ubuntuman: As far as I know the person who had that problem (in this channel, I was helping them debug it) never solved it :(
[11:31] <milen8204> crawler, thanks a lot for the help
[11:31] <crawler> milen8204: you're welcome
[11:32] <crawler> have fun
[11:32] <llutz_> crawler: just put it in quotes:  wine "/home/milen/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files/Common Files/World of Warcraft/wow.exe"
[11:32] <coz_> ubuntuman,   I am not seeing anything that stands out unless I missed it
[11:32] <crawler> llutz: good to know :)
[11:32] <ubuntuman> Jordan_U:  ok i guess it means going to windows again then. i thought if it could be fixed as all i use it for is working online
[11:32] <atude> llutz_: thank you very much! :)
[11:32] <ubuntuman> coz_: ok i guess i'll have to go back to windows :(
[11:32] <coz_> ubuntuman,   welll  first  if no one can sove it here ...try  the ##linux  channel
[11:33] <john38> crawler, cool
[11:33] <jonte> hello all!
[11:33] <jonte> i need a lil help:P
[11:33] <coz_> ubuntuman,   also show them that dmesg  link
[11:33] <atude> I have another question. When gdm starts up, the gdm theme preference window ALWAYS opens and I have no way to automatically not have it open. Is there a way to stop this?
[11:33] <ubuntuman> coz_ ok because its not just happening with ubuntu, i have had it with meego and fedora
[11:33] <jonte> Can you help me with the upgrade of ubuntu ?
[11:34] <Ashkaar> Hi, I would like to install my touchpad of a lenovo g550 notebook. It is not listed in /proc/bus/input/devices Any idea? I use Ubuntu 10.10. Actually, scrolling is not possible.
[11:34] <coz_> ubuntuman,  ok  then also try  #ubuntu-hardware...  there could also be a bios setting that needs to be changed
[11:35] <ubuntuman> coz_: no one in ubuntu hardware
[11:35] <Jordan_U> ubuntuman: coz_: Just #hardware, there is no #ubuntu-hardware.
[11:35] <coz_> Jordan_U,  ah ok  cool
[11:35] <Jordan_U> ##hardware to be perfectly correct.
[11:35] <coz_> ubuntuman,   dont leave out ##linux channel either
[11:35] <coz_> ubuntuman,  however,, if someone solves this... let me know :)
[11:36] <ubuntuman> Jordan_U: the #hardware doesnt work either
[11:36] <jonte> pleas help me with the updgrade of ubuntu :'(
[11:36] <coz_> ubuntuman,  hold on
[11:37] <coz_> ubuntuman,   just   /join #hardware  works here
[11:37] <ectospasm> any hope of getting workspace names working in maverick?
[11:37] <coz_> ubuntuman,  I think ..though..that you may get more from ##linux channel
[11:38] <crawler> jonte: whatever you do, back up your data ;-)
[11:38] <lrf0808> 有没有会用中文的阿？
[11:38] <ubuntuman> coz_: i gert this: [10:37] == #hardware Cannot join channel (+i) - you must be invited
[11:38] <stermi> Hi all, I'm trying to build some documentation to persuade industries to pass from office->openoffice, ie->ff, winrar->7zip, outlook->thunderbird, and so on. Someone know if is something already made? Also I need some example on "office let you do this, and this is how can you do the same thing on OpenOfficie"
[11:38] <ectospasm> !cn | lrf0808
[11:38] <coz_> ubuntuman,  mmm  that is not happening here    ok...go to  ##linux channel
[11:39] <jonte> crawler:heheh
[11:39] <jonte> But how to?
[11:39] <lrf0808> ubottu :我想注册一个帐号，可以给我一个网站吗？
[11:39] <juk_> why last times apt-get says gpgv: Can't check signature: public key not found?
[11:39] <ectospasm> lrf0808: ubottu is a bot
[11:40] <crawler> JonathanD: simple backup config and restore is a good choice to back stuff up
[11:40] <ectospasm> !jp | lrf0808
[11:40] <lrf0808> why?
[11:40] <ubuntuman> coz_ cant join ##linux either
[11:40] <coz_> ubuntuman,  o0
[11:40] <ubuntuman> coz_: i need to be registered
[11:40] <crawler> jonte:  simple backup config and restore is a good choice to back stuff up
[11:40] <ubuntuman> ?
[11:40] <Jordan_U> !register | ubuntuman
[11:40] <crawler> JonathanD: sorry i meant to speak to jonte
[11:40] <coz_> ubuntuman,    maybe your nick does need registering   so i would do that now
[11:40] <lrf0808> thank you ubottu
[11:41] <silv3r_m00n> I am using this command ffmpeg -i Desktop/phone/phonecallmanager.avi -b 1000 -y comp.avi   to compress a avi video , but the -b switch seems to have no effect , the new video is being encoded at 2000 kbit/s
[11:41] <silv3r_m00n> is there anything wrong with the command ?
[11:41] <done365> I am wasting energy keeping my system at full on during sleeping hours out of fear the alarm won't sound when the system hybernates.  We had that happen, how do I put the system to sleep or hybernate but still use the alarm?
[11:41] <Aut0Exec> hi guys
[11:41] <ectospasm> done365: you could set a wake time in your BIOS
[11:41] <jonte> Crawler:Ok,So if i backup i'll get ubuntu 10.10?
[11:41] <Pavinati> Hello, my pc has blocked and i had to reboot it, what log should i check to see what happend?
[11:42] <ectospasm> done365: or set Wake-on-LAN in the BIOS, and have some other system on your network send the wakeup signal
[11:42] <crawler> jonte: oh no, that's only to back up your data.  you can upgrade from the update-manager i believe
[11:43] <jonte> crawler:It doesn't work...I'v been trying to check for more updates but it's still 10.04
[11:43] <ectospasm> done365: mind you, modern PC systems don't use that much power, even when crunching at 100%
[11:43] <ectospasm> ...CPU
[11:43] <done365> @ectospasm wouldn't that entirely depend on the availability of that feature in my sys bios and not ubuntu
[11:43] <ubuntuman> coz_ still cant join i goto the overflow channel
[11:43] <ectospasm> done365: yes
[11:43] <jonte> Doesn't say anything about upgrade:(
[11:43] <coz_> ubuntuman,  mmm  that's odd   wait a few minutes and try again
[11:43] <thevishy> How to install silverlight for my buntu box
[11:44] <thevishy> !moonlight
[11:44] <ectospasm> done365: you're essentially asking how can ubuntu start the computer when it's off
[11:44] <meway> How would I go about removing an extension from every file in a folder?
[11:44] <ubuntuman> but Jordan_U : i recieve the same issues as that you had before, but i have asked on the forums and no one has answered
[11:44] <meway> with one command
[11:44] <ectospasm> meway: use basename
[11:44] <Aut0Exec> why would you want silverlight?
[11:44] <ectospasm> meway: lemme remember how to do it
[11:44] <ectospasm> Aut0Exec: NetFlix
[11:44] <thevishy> some sites have silverlight
[11:44] <Aut0Exec> oh ok
[11:44] <sresu> !quicktime
[11:45] <ectospasm> Aut0Exec: my school did its online courses using silverlight
[11:45] <van7hu> folk,how can I rename many filename with only one command ? e.g : I want to change all of my C source files with extension . to cpp file extension .cpp,can I do that with "mv *.c .cpp" with some modification ?
[11:45] <ectospasm> Aut0Exec: which worked great in Moonlight
[11:45] <Aut0Exec> ectospasm: ok
[11:45] <b3ni> join #ubuntu-hu
[11:45] <thevishy> silverlight is MS equivalent of Flash is that right ?
[11:45] <Aut0Exec> lulz @ thevishy
[11:45] <tarzeau> anyone familiar with git, and interested updating gphoto2 in ubuntu?
[11:45] <done365> iectospasm or how to wake from a hybernated state or how to send it into a conservative mode without losing total functionality, but I will check my bios and any upgrades for the feature you suggested
[11:45] <meway> ectospasm, somone gave me a command for pearl or something like that XD
[11:45] <thevishy> why ?? i was thinking like that
[11:46] <ectospasm> meway: "basename *.ext .ext"
[11:46] <ectospasm> meway: that will return *
[11:46] <Pavinati> Hello, my pc has blocked and i had to reboot it, what log should i check to see what made it  crash?
[11:46] <ectospasm> meway: "basename --help" for details
[11:46] <jonte> Can any one help me with the upgrade of ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10
[11:46] <ectospasm> Pavinati: if you're lucky it will be in /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog
[11:47] <meway> ectospasm, ok that will only remove the extension not the file right?
[11:47] <thevishy> what happened jonte
[11:47] <Aut0Exec> gatta run guys
[11:47] <Aut0Exec> nice chatting
[11:47] <thevishy> cya !
[11:47] <sresu> !update
[11:47] <Aut0Exec> woot
[11:47] <Pavinati> ectospasm: Nothing here :/
[11:47] <ectospasm> meway: that just returns the file, it actually doesn't do anything to the files themselves
[11:47] <jonte> ubottu: it doesn't work
[11:47] <thevishy> -- > Features of Silverlight are similar to those in Adobe Flash. :)
[11:47] <sresu> jonte: Whats the error?
[11:47] <crawler> jonte: if i were you i'd stick woth 10.04.  see LTS https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS
[11:47] <meway> ectospasm, I need a command that removes an extension
[11:48] <thevishy> jonte, two options fresh instrall or upgrade . since when u have this 10.04
[11:48] <jonte> Both of this options doesn't work:(
[11:48] <ectospasm> meway: you'd have to say something like:  for file in $(ls);  do mv $file $(basename $file .ext); done

[11:49] <jonte> I open the upgrade center and updating,But ubuntu doesn't upgrade in version?
[11:49] <ectospasm> meway: that's bash I wrote for you there
[11:49] <meway> ectospasm, im not a normal user of ubuntu can you be more specific what to do here?
[11:49] <jonte> van7hu:So i can't upgrade it?
[11:49] <guilhermeLongo> hi
[11:49] <ectospasm> meway: pm?
[11:49] <meway> sure
[11:49] <atude> I have another question. When gdm starts up, the gdm theme preference window ALWAYS opens and I have no way to automatically not have it open. Is there a way to stop this?

[11:50] <juk_> evolution checks for new mail only when window is open?
[11:50] <van7hu> jonte : Please,look at the link that the bot gave you
[11:50] <john38> Anybody here know a good Quickbooks equiv to linux
[11:50] <john38> ??
[11:51] <crawler> juk_: unfortunately yes..and i don't think they plan on changing that any time soon (if ever)
[11:51] <ectospasm> Jordan_U: that's supposed to be intelligible?
[11:51] <sresu> jonte: What does this say <sudo update-manager> in CLI?
[11:51] <juk_> crawler: funny, Im closing it and think it will notify me
[11:51] <jonte> Wait i'll copy the message
[11:52] <john38> Anybody here know a good Quickbooks equiv to linux
[11:52] <sresu> jonte: Use pastebin please
[11:52] <cast> if thats double entry accounting, gnucash is very good
[11:52] <Jordan_U> ectospasm: It's a link. In short, you should avoid things like "for file in $(ls)" and instead use "for file in *"
[11:52] <ectospasm> Jordan_U: so tell meway that
[11:52] <crawler> juk_: yea i know, it's really pointless to have the indicator-messages icon there all the time, with no option in evolution to take full advantage of it.
[11:52] <ectospasm> I've always had weird results when I use *
[11:53] <ectospasm> ...but of course, I don't script every day

[11:55] <gharz> guys, i'm using cd/dvd creator to burn data files on a cd. i'm a bit frustrated because after burning the files the status now is Creating image checksum and it's taking more 45 minutes.... how do i disable the app to create checksum?
[11:55] <jonte> Here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/518645/
[11:56] <LinuxAdmin> hi guys
[11:56] <jonte> It comes up when trying to upgrade?

[11:57] <Wollino> ciao a tutti
[11:57] <LinuxAdmin> I'm configuring pptpd and everything seems to work fine between two enpoints but I cannot ping my internel network
[11:57] <gharz> crawler... brasero is the default cd writer for ubuntu? coz when i inserted a blank cd it open nautilus with an option to write data to a disc.
[11:57] <john38> Anybody here use Grisbi or Homebank
[11:57] <LinuxAdmin> I thinks this is related with routing
[11:58] <john38> Anybody here use Grisbi or Homebank
[11:58] <LinuxAdmin> then I configured routing on a public ip on the same network of the pptpd server, but even though it doesn't work
[11:58] <ectospasm> LinuxAdmin: does traceroute work?
[11:58] <sresu> jonte: How are you trying to upgrade? Network Upgrade?
[11:58] <mobal> hi
[11:59] <crawler> gharz: i guess it depends on which version you're using..anyway, i seem to remember an option before you burn that you can uncheck, so that it doesn't preform the checksum after burning
[11:59] <mobal> how can i add my facebook account to gwibber? :S
[11:59] <mobal> still buggy?
[11:59] <LinuxAdmin> I ran tcpdump and I see packets arrive to pptpd server but server does not forward it
[11:59] <gharz> crawler: thank you!!!!!!!!
[11:59] <crawler> gharz: you're welcome, good luck
[11:59] <jonte> sresu:No,Through the update manager
[12:00] <LinuxAdmin> I've ran "echo 1 > /proc/net/sys/ipv4...." but it doesn't work
[12:00] <oal> I managed to somehow chmod some files in /usr/ to my user, and now I can't sudo anymore :(
[12:00] <oal> It says "sudo: must be setuid root"
[12:01] <LinuxAdmin> I've got tcpdump running on the destination host to see if is something with routing, but the packet do not arrive te target hot
[12:01] <oal> Does anyone know how I can fix this? I have tried chowning back, no luck
[12:01] <oal> And I meant chown, not chmod, sorry
[12:02] <LinuxAdmin> what could be happening?
[12:02] <LinuxAdmin> I can ping pptpd server's vpn IP
[12:03] <atude> I have another question. When gdm starts up, the gdm theme preference window ALWAYS opens and I have no way to automatically not have it open. Is there a way to stop this?
[12:03] <LinuxAdmin> If I try to ping a host on the same public network of pptpd server, I see packets arriving to ppp0 interface but they are not arriving to destination host, tcpdump shows nothing
[12:04] <LinuxAdmin> and the destination host knows the route to the VPN network, but the packets do not arrive there
[12:05] <LinuxAdmin> I disabled firewall to troubleshoot, so it's not a firewall problem

[12:06] <Ashkaar> I try to install a touchpad using ubuntu 10.10 64-bit and a lenovo g550 notebook. Actually, it is not detected by /proc/bus/input/devices. Is there a possibility to install it manually?
[12:07] <jonte> sresu:OK i'll try
[12:07] <Pavinati> any help?
[12:08] <ectospasm> Pavinati: you could be experiencing hardware problems.
[12:08] <Pavinati> how can i know?
[12:08] <ectospasm> Pavinati: does the problem seem to be random?  Or does it always happen when you start some program?
[12:08] <crawler> Pavinati: bad ram or overheating can cause these reboots
[12:08] <Pavinati> i have no error message
[12:08] <ectospasm> Pavinati: memory controller errors won't usually give you a warning message, the system will just freeze
[12:08] <Pavinati> it's complettly random
[12:09] <Pavinati> it can happen now or in 20 min
[12:09] <ectospasm> Pavinati: try running memtest86+ on it (it should be available in the grub menu)
[12:09] <schmrz> Hello Everyone! Can anyone tell me if it's ok to use macchanger with Atheros wireless card. And if it's not, can anyone give me some guidelines on how to change my wireless card mac on 10.10 ?
[12:09] <ectospasm> Pavinati: let memtest run for one full pass
[12:09] <ectospasm> ...more if you want to be sure, Pavinati
[12:09] <lirufei> Hello
[12:09] <Pavinati> i don't have the grub installed... can i run it when ubuntu is executing?
[12:09] <crawler> Pavinati: sometimes dust on the fan or on the heatsink can cause reboots...try cleaning out the case maybe
[12:10] <lirufei> 大家好！
[12:10] <crawler> Pavinati: you can also run memtest from the live cd
[12:10] <ectospasm> Pavinati: you'll need to get a boot CD/USB/floppy with memtest on it
[12:10] <ectospasm> Pavinati: if you have an Ubuntu LiveCD or alternate installer, it should have it there
[12:10] <Pavinati> i have a laptop, the fan is clean
[12:11] <ectospasm> Pavinati: you can't run memtest while Ubuntu is loaded
[12:11] <eeeris> hello
[12:11] <ectospasm> Pavinati: it's completely independent
[12:11] <gaelfx> is there a decent way to make Rhythmbox find song information? or should I start looking for a better music management program?
[12:11] <Pavinati> ok... i'll try to run the memtest
[12:11] <ectospasm> Pavinati: just know that memtest may not find your problem
[12:11] <Pavinati> if it goes fine, i'll be back
[12:11] <ectospasm> Pavinati: it's just a place to start
[12:11] <sresu> Pavinati: Yes.. memtest will take time. Leave the memtest running. And see the results
[12:11] <Pavinati> tnx again to everyone ;)
[12:12] <erUSUL> !cn | lirufei
[12:12] <ectospasm> Pavinati: there's also mprime

[12:14] <eeeris> i have problem logging in though i supply correct username and password. the login screen juz keep on coming back. how can i solve this problem? anybody?
[12:15] <gaelfx> So I tried downloading the CDDB plugin for Rhythmbox, and I got it working, but it seems pretty useless, is there a better way to automatically find the song info or should I look into different software for music management?
[12:15] <eeeris> i have problem logging in though i supply correct username and password. the login screen juz keep on coming back. how can i solve this problem? anybody? btw, im using 10.04
[12:15] <schmrz> Hello Everyone! Can anyone tell me if it's ok to use macchanger with Atheros wireless card. And if it's not, can anyone give me some guidelines on how to change my wireless card mac on 10.10 ?
[12:15] <Ashkaar> I try to install a touchpad using ubuntu 10.10 64-bit and a lenovo g550 notebook. Actually, it is not detected by /proc/bus/input/devices. Is there a possibility to install it manually?
[12:15] <ectospasm> eeeris: can other users log in?
[12:16] <ectospasm> Ashkaar: it's not disabled in the BIOS, is it?
[12:16] <Ashkaar> ecolitan, mouse motion works with the touchpad, only scrolling doesn't
[12:16] <negev_> hi is there anyone around who can help me with a routing problem?  im going crazy trying to figure this out
[12:17] <moelyuono> where.........
[12:17] <ectospasm> Ashkaar: then state that in your problem description
[12:17] <eeeris> i have created only 1 user during installation.
[12:17] <moelyuono> pok.....
[12:17] <ectospasm> eeeris: drop to a virtual terminal (CTRL-F1), and try to log into the console
[12:17] <jerboa> Whenever you connect Ubuntu to an external screen or beamer, the panel gets messed up. How to prevent that?
[12:17] <cousteau> how do I install ubuntu-desktop _without_ all packages marked as "recommended"?
[12:17] <ectospasm> eeeris: if you can, then it's not a problem with your password, but something with GDM
[12:17] <moelyuono> kutang ucuk.....
[12:18] <Ashkaar> I try to install a touchpad using ubuntu 10.10 64-bit and a lenovo g550 notebook. Actually, it is not detected by /proc/bus/input/devices. So mouse motion works, only scrooling does not. Is there a possibility to install it manually?
[12:18] <cousteau> tried "sudo aptitude install -R ubuntu-desktop", but it seems to also try to install the recommends
[12:18] <llutz> cousteau: sudo aptitude -R install ...
[12:18] <ectospasm> Ashkaar: you can use xev to see if the scroll function is generating events
[12:19] <Yautja_Cetanu2> I'm sorting out the partitions for dual booting - How big do I need to make my ubuntu partition? and how big should I make my Home partition if I'm storing all my media files in an NTFS partition?
[12:19] <eeeris> yes...i can logged in using the console..same username and password.
[12:19] <cousteau> (actually, I tried like   sudo aptitude -R install -R ubuntu-desktop -R   in case the order was important)
[12:19] <erUSUL> cousteau: aptitude and apt-get have a switch to turn off recommended
[12:19] <ectospasm> eeeris: then it's a problem with GDM
[12:19] <llutz> erUSUL: thats -R
[12:19] <cousteau> erUSUL: yes, -R... but it doesn't seem to be working
[12:19] <ectospasm> eeeris: or your stale X session
[12:19] <Ashkaar> ectospasm, no, there is only motion -.-
[12:20] <ectospasm> Ashkaar: may need to check to make sure your driver is installed correctly
[12:20] <Ashkaar> ectospasm, how to? ;)
[12:20] <ectospasm> Ashkaar: I can't help you find which driver you need
[12:21] <llutz> cousteau: add " Apt::Install-Recommends "false""  to your .aptitude/config             but -R should have done the job
[12:21] <eeeris> then how can i fix this problem?
[12:21] <cousteau> I'm simulating it (with -s), maybe it doesn't work on the simulation
[12:21] <droopal> Hi, I just tried to run the command sudo aptitude update, and got this 'sudo: aptitude: command not found' is there something I need to install to get that command to work. I am using a fresh install of 10.10, thanks.
[12:21] <crawler> gaelfx: musicbrainz picard is good for tagging files
[12:21] <Zeu5> hi there, i set up a ubuntu server on amazon. and now i want to deploy my code on the server via git and projectlocker a git public repo however i appear to have SSH issues because i get prompted for password please advise on how to troubleshoot
[12:22] <Zeu5> i did this cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub and copy pasted the public key into project locker, but i am not sure i am unable to do git pull.
[12:22] <ectospasm> droopal: apt-get install aptitude
[12:22] <Zeu5> not sure *why i am unable to git pull
[12:22] <droopal> oh, ok thank you.
[12:22] <ectospasm> droopal: I discovered that annoyance, too
[12:23] <eeeris> then how can i fix this problem?
[12:23] <Yautja_Cetanu2> How much disk space should I give to my main ubuntu partition?
[12:23] <crashev> I have auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp in /etc/network/interfaces - how to make it react to every cable connect/disconnect so everytime I do this it would renew the address (without installing NetworkManager) ?
[12:24] <droopal> ectospasm: I didnt know you had to install it, bit silly I must say. :(Thank you though, I really appreciate it.
[12:24] <ectospasm> eeeris: have you tried rebooting?  That usually clears up X session problems.
[12:24] <cousteau> apt-get install --no-recommends seems to work, anyway...
[12:24] <euthymos> is it my impression, or Rythmbox iPod support is rubbish? If I try to copy some files from my library to the iPod Touch the files get corrupted and do not play
[12:24] <euthymos> on the iPod, I mean
[12:24] <euthymos> did you have/solve this problem
[12:24] <ectospasm> euthymos: connecting Ubuntu to any Apple device is troublesome.  FU very much, Meester Jobs
[12:25] <euthymos> I know is Apple's fault
[12:25] <erUSUL> !ipod | euthymos try banshee or gtkpod

[12:26] <Zeu5> i did this cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub and copy pasted the public key into project locker, but i am not sure why i am unable to git pull.
[12:26] <euthymos> !RockBox

[12:26] <euthymos> erUSUL ectospasm thanks
[12:26] <ikonia> Zeu5: talk to project locker support
[12:27] <ectospasm> eeeris: try logging in via virtual console, and deleting your .Xauthority file
[12:28] <ectospasm> eeeris: or look in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[12:29] <ectospasm> eeeris:  or /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog
[12:29] <cousteau> I wonder if after installing ubuntu-desktop (without recommends), X and gdm will run automatically
[12:29] <ikonia> cousteau: should do as they are depends
[12:29] <Zeu5> ikonia: okay. what about an error message like this PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
[12:30] <ikonia> Zeu5: where are you getting that
[12:30] <cousteau> ikonia: not only get installed, but also run automatically on each boot
[12:30] <ikonia> cousteau: installing them auto activates them
[12:30] <Zeu5> when i did ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>for testing
[12:31] <cousteau> that's what I wanted to know... thanks ikonia
[12:31] <ikonia> Zeu5: that's a problem with githubs server, probably devpts not mounted
[12:31] <Zeu5> ikonia: you mean MY server yes?
[12:32] <ikonia> Zeu5: if your server github ?
[12:32] <ikonia> "is"
[12:32] <lapion> Hello I have been trying to do a sandbox upgrade of my system to meerkat, but every time the system chokes on grub errors. Even though in a sandbox upgrade grub shouldn't be updated..
[12:33] <euthymos> banshee is working good with my iPod touch
[12:33] <euthymos> thanks this community is wonderful
[12:34] <Zeu5> ikonia: no my server is a ubuntu server image on amazon. my git public repo is on projectlocker
[12:34] <ikonia> Zeu5: so why are you sshing to github ?
[12:34] <crashev> anyone knows how to enforce ubuntu to use dhcpcd instead on dhclient ?
[12:34] <Zeu5> ikonia: to test if the problem was my server or projectlocker
[12:34] <ikonia> Zeu5: look at /dev/ptmx if you think the problem is your personal server
[12:35] <ubuntu> hi
[12:35] <atude> I have 238 running processes.... That doesn't make any sense since X isn't even open.
[12:35] <atude> is there a tool or script I can edit to control which services start up?
[12:35] <ubuntu> what is your really name
[12:35] <ubuntu> ?
[12:35] <Zeu5> ikonia: can i use sudo vi to look at the file?
[12:36] <ikonia> Zeu5: no
[12:36] <ikonia> Zeu5: see if it exists
[12:36] <atude> looks like ther are several instances of console kit daemon running, which looks a bit unusual
[12:37] <destroyer> hi
[12:37] <Zeu5> ikonia: i get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/518667/
[12:38] <cousteau> wow... I had no idea TTYs had a screensaver
[12:38] <ikonia> Zeu5: why are you using "less"
[12:38] <ikonia> Zeu5: I said see if the file exists
[12:38] <destroyer> http://gnome-look.org/
[12:38] <ikonia> destroyer: what about it ?
[12:38] <Zeu5> ikonia: i am sorry which command would that be?
[12:38] <ikonia> Zeu5: ls
[12:38] <destroyer> means
[12:39] <lucent> I've packaged up cdrtools, anyone interested?
[12:39] <Jordan_U> lapion: There are many things which give errors during the sandbox upgrade, as all the sandbox upgrade does is mount an aufs overlay over all system directories and none of the package scripts have been modified to deal with this overlay.
[12:39] <Zeu5> it exists
[12:39] <Zeu5> ikonia: the file exists
[12:39] <destroyer> what is xchat can any one tell me plz
[12:39] <JWar> Is it allowed to ask this channel for support?
[12:39] <destroyer> ??
[12:39] <ikonia> Zeu5: ok, then you need to contact the amazon cloud support team
[12:39] <etheretic1> What is the best program to repair bad sectors/salvage files from a failing hd?
[12:39] <ikonia> Zeu5: as that would be what would cause your error, IF it was a problem with your local server
[12:39] <ikonia> destroyer: irc client
[12:39] <etheretic1> preferrably gui.
[12:40] <Jordan_U> lapion: I'd go as far as to say that it's almost useless at this point.
[12:40] <jordan_> spec evreyone of you grman
[12:40] <Zeu5> ikonia: could it be i use ssh to access the server, hence i cannot get the server to ssh and do a git pull?
[12:40] <ikonia> Zeu5: no
[12:40] <bazhang> !de | Jordan_U
[12:40] <Zeu5> ikonia: i see
[12:40] <bazhang> whoops sorry Jordan_U
[12:40] <Jordan_U> bazhang: np :)
[12:41] <JWar> I just installed the Ubuntu Netbook Remix on an EEEPC 1000H. The netbook is connected to a secondary monitor (tv). When I set the resolution to 1980x1080 the resolution changes, but the desktop is the incorrect size, causing black areas to the right and bottom. Does anyone know what is going on here?
[12:42] <Zeu5> ikonia:i dont think amazon has anything to do with this because i use a community ubuntu image to install the OS
[12:42] <ikonia> Zeu5: depends how their virtual hardware is presented
[12:43] <ikonia> Zeu5: restart the sshd daemon to make sure it has picked up that /dev/ptmx is there
[12:43] <shane4ubuntu> ok, doesn't seem like the ubuntuone client is much better than it was before.
[12:43] <Zeu5> ikonia: how do i restart sshd daemon?
[12:43] <Jordan_U> etheretic1: gnu ddrescue, which is the "gddrescue" package (not the "ddrescue" package which is similar but IMHO not as good).
[12:43] <ikonia> Zeu5: I suggest you take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com and learn the basics of controlling a server
[12:44] <ikonia> Zeu5: your going to struggle to take things forward
[12:44] <sresu_> Are there any problems with this <dmesg> output - http://pastebin.com/YJJQRrLg ?
[12:44] <etheretic1> Jordan_U: thanks. :-')
[12:44] <Jordan_U> etheretic1: You're welcome :)
[12:44] <shane4ubuntu> ubuntuone doesn't seem to upload all the files and has crashed
[12:45] <ikonia> Zeu5: make sure you have an entry for /dev/pts on your machine also AND on the clound machine
[12:46] <Zeu5> ikonia:where do i suppoed to  have an entry for /dev/pts ?
[12:46] <Zeu5> is it a file?
[12:46] <ikonia> Zeu5: in /etc/fstab
[12:47] <sresu> Are there any problems with this <dmesg> output - http://pastebin.com/YJJQRrLg ?
[12:47] <ubuntu> HI
[12:47] <Zeu5> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/518671/ i supposed looking at this. the answer is no?
[12:47] <tomgra> I cannot do a clean install of any version on a 1 TB drive. I can get to the setup portion and setup the partition fine but when the install starts the actual install it freezes during the partition process
[12:47] <ubuntu> DOG FATHER
[12:47] <ubuntu> WHY
[12:47] <ectospasm> Does anyone know how to get workspace names working in maverick (10.10)?  I keep trying to set the names in gconf-editor, and they're set, but I don't see them anywhere else.
[12:47] <ubuntu> GO TO HELL
[12:48] <ikonia> Zeu5: that /etc/fstab is wrong and missing several key entreies
[12:48] <fazzil1> hi...
[12:48] <ikonia> Zeu5: that will explain the problem
[12:48] <ectospasm> tomgra: maybe boot your disk manufacturer's drive utility, and check to make sure the drive isn't bad
[12:49] <Zeu5> ikonia: is it safe for me to copy my own fstab and paste it into my own server?
[12:49] <ikonia> Zeu5: no
[12:49] <fazzil1> can somebody tell me what is this : ubuntu@machine:/dev$ less /dev/ptmx
[12:49] <ectospasm> Zeu5: not a good idea
[12:49] <tomgra> I have tried that and the drive is fine.
[12:49] <tomgra> I have tried gparted too
[12:50] <ectospasm> tomgra: is your Ubuntu image OK?  Did you check it with sha1sum before you burned it?
[12:50] <tomgra> Yes the cd has no errors
[12:50] <Zeu5> ikonia: looking at my own fstab, i also do not have /dev/pts so how is it i have no problems connecting to my git repo?
[12:50] <ectospasm> tomgra: that's not what I asked
[12:50] <etheretic1> Jordan_U: is here a gui frontend to ddrescue?
[12:50] <ikonia> Zeu5: it's nothing to do with your git repo - you asked about the pty on channel 0 error
[12:50] <tomgra> opps sorry. no i have not. I will try that.
[12:51] <Jordan_U> etheretic1: No.
[12:51] <ikonia> Zeu5: you git repo - you need to contact the git repo owners support
[12:51] <ady01> hi guys - Anyone had any experience setting up an authentication server / domain controller before - Got a bit stuck ?
[12:52] <vincenzo> ciao
[12:52] <vincenzo> !list
[12:53] <Zeu5> ikonia: i sent a support request already. bt i like to check with you. since i did a git push from my laptop successfully to the public repo, is it still possible for the problem to be with the repo when i cannot do  a git pull on my server?
[12:53] <juk__> why wget hits and curl not same url
[12:53] <ikonia> Zeu5: the problem will either be your sever setup - or the git repo
[12:54] <ikonia> Zeu5: we've already discovered your server setup is missing key entries in /etc/fstab so it could well be that your server is not setup well
[12:54] <Zeu5> ikonia: i understand. i was wondering if you are able to help me to eliminate one of the possiblities. esp since i am using ubuntu server
[12:54] <Zeu5> ikonia: what are the missing key entries in fstab?
[12:54] <lucent> https://launchpad.net/~eshattow/+archive/cdrtools-stable
[12:54] <ikonia> Zeu5: the git support team can walk you thorugh it
[12:54] <lucent> not that the person who asked for it is still here though
[12:55] <ikonia> Zeu5: the entries are specific to your setup, so but your missing pts and shm for starters
[12:55] <ikonia> Zeu5: where did you get this ubuntu-server image ?
[12:55] <Zeu5> ikonia: i am also missing pts and shm in my ubuntu laptop but i can still do git push so why is this the case?
[12:55] <ady01> hi guys - Anyone had any experience setting up an authentication server / domain controller before - done most it but now a bit stuck
[12:55] <Zeu5> ikonia: hang on, let me go dig out
[12:55] <ikonia> Zeu5: because that is NOT the problem with git
[12:55] <atude> I have another question. When gdm starts up, the gdm theme preference window ALWAYS opens and I have no way to automatically not have it open. Is there a way to stop this?
[12:55] <ikonia> Zeu5: I'm saying they are "other" problems that show your server is not setup correctly
[12:56] <sresu> Are there any problems with this <dmesg> output - http://pastebin.com/YJJQRrLg ?
[12:56] <Zeu5> ikonia: http://alestic.com/ click on ap-southeast-1 and ubuntu 10.04 lucid 64bit server
[12:57] <JWar> When I type xrandr the Screen 0: size is lower than the resolution I set the display at. How can I change the display 0 size?
[12:57] <lucent> sresu: you're using fglrx which is unforgivable.
[12:57] <momentum> anyone, on ubuntnu 10.10 , have the problem of freezing up on google searches?
[12:58] <sresu> lucent: I don't know about it
[12:58] <ikonia> Zeu5: that is not an ubuntu official image
[12:58] <ikonia> Zeu5: it is not supported
[12:58] <sresu> lucent:  What all things to llok for in <dmesg> output?
[12:58] <lucent> sresu: too bad if you actually needed help, and you're running a binary blob that is unsupported from fglrx ATI driver
[12:58] <Zeu5> ikonia: so in my perspective, i have to wait for projectlocker support to get back to me then?
[12:58] <sresu> lucent: I know nothing about fglrx
[12:59] <lucent> sresu: also, I would advise -against- running ext4 on anything important, just FYI
[12:59] <ikonia> Zeu5: or alestic - but this channel can't support that image
[12:59] <sresu> lucent: What all things you check in dmesg output?
[12:59] <Zeu5> ikonia: correct me if i am wrong. i am a newbie.
[12:59] <Zeu5> ubuntu is a linux distro hence allows you to make any changes as you please yes?
[13:00] <ikonia> Zeu5: yes it is
[13:00] <lucent> sresu: passwords, and credit card numbers mostly
[13:00] <lucent> thanks for posting these to me
[13:00] <bazhang> lucent, thats not helpful
[13:00] <Zeu5> ikonia: now chances are there could be someone out there who made some changes to their own downloaded ubuntu. can they seek help here?
[13:00] <sresu> I've no idea about going through dmesg, hence asked
[13:00] <ikonia> Zeu5: correct, they have modified the install routine to make their own product based on ubuntu, contact them for support
[13:01] <ikonia> Zeu5: that image alestic's personal image/configuration for ubuntu - they can support you
[13:01] <lucent> bazhang: would like to see you do better than I did, though.  show me how it's done :)
[13:01] <sresu> !dmesg
[13:01] <bazhang> lucent, thats not funny nor appropriate
[13:02] <Zeu5> ikonia: if i install ubuntu on my desktop and i made some changes, does that mean i cannot come here to seek help? cause based on your rationale i have to ask myself?
[13:02] <ikonia> Zeu5: no, as you can tell use the changes you've made
[13:02] <ikonia> Zeu5: can you tell me the changes the alestic image has ?
[13:02] <sresu> Yes, from where those additional lines start? How to recognise?
[13:02] <Zeu5> ikonia: i wish i could.
[13:03] <ikonia> Zeu5: so therefore we can't support it
[13:03] <spinningcompass> Zeu5: I'm sorry to interrupt, but I would always encourage Ubuntu users (or Linux users in general, really) to come here & ask for help. Although the channel is staffed by volunteers & therefore doesn't have a QA/QC mechanism (other than peer pressure), most people in here genuinely want to help you.
[13:03] <ikonia> spinningcompass: no, the policy of the channel is not to support non-official ubuntu images/installs
[13:03] <Zeu5> spinningcompass: please do not misunderstand me. i am clarifying tat is all.
[13:04] <spinningcompass> ikonia: Does that mean I'm forbidden to offer to help Zeu5 if I find out he's running an unofficial image?
[13:04] <Zeu5> spinningcompass: ikonia has been consistent and clear so far.
[13:04] <ikonia> spinningcompass: in this channel, yes
[13:04] <lucent> sresu: sorry baz must be busy, so the lines in dmesg are just information, there is not a certain error that always happens
[13:04] <spinningcompass> ikonia: Fair enough. Bye.
[13:04] <ikonia> bye
[13:05] <sresu> Oh.. Nothing. Thanks for considering my question.
[13:05] <lucent> sresu: if you know what machines on a computer will break, then you can learn about the many errors which happen when things are broken
[13:05] <fazzil1> zeu5: what is ubuntu pastebin?
[13:06] <lucent> sresu: there's quite a lot of errors that happen when, for example, your mechanical hard drive is scratched and has bad areas but is still working a little
[13:06] <ikonia> !pastebin | fazzil1
[13:06] <Zeu5> ikonia: i think the one i am using is official
[13:06] <ikonia> Zeu5: it's not
[13:06] <Zeu5> please look closely againUbuntu 10.04 Lucid
[13:06] <Zeu5> Canonical, ubuntu@
[13:06] <Zeu5> EBS boot	ami-00067852	ami-06067854
[13:07] <ikonia> Zeu5: it's not
[13:07] <Zeu5> canonical is the company behind ubuntu yes?
[13:07] <sresu> lucent: Thanks
[13:07] <lucent> sresu: if you looked at dmesg output and there was an error or a few errors, repeating quickly, then that would "fill up" the output and you would know quickly
[13:07] <ikonia> Zeu5: yes
[13:07] <Zeu5> AMIs listed as “Canonical” are published by Canonical, the commercial sponsor of Ubuntu
[13:07] <ikonia> Zeu5: yes
[13:07] <dropson> how do I generate a key-pair with ssh-keygen without having to manually skip the passphrase prompt? I'm trying to use a script to generate keypairs without manual interaction
[13:07] <Uninewb> Hi everybody
[13:07] <Zeu5> ikonia: so can i still get assistance from you or anybody else in this channel?
[13:08] <ikonia> Zeu5: no
[13:08] <ikonia> Zeu5: sponsored by, or partnered by does not make it official
[13:08] <ikonia> Zeu5: if it was offiicial it would be on the ubuntu website
[13:08] <Uninewb> i just did a clean installation of ubuntu, but now, during the start up i can't open the grub
[13:09] <Uninewb> and the file boot/grub/menu.lst is missing
[13:09] <lucent> Uninewb: 'left shift' I think?
[13:09] <ikonia> Uninewb: menu.lst does not exist in ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 as it uses grub2
[13:09] <bazhang> Uninewb, its not there anymore, its grub2
[13:09] <lucent> also, Grub (original) had menu.lst, and PRUB (Grub2) has grub.conf
[13:09] <lucent> I think?
[13:09] <Zeu5> ikonia: http://groups.google.com/group/ec2ubuntu it says in the link Canonical -Official Ubuntu AMIs
[13:09] <Uninewb> so i just need to press left shit during the boot?
[13:09] <lucent> ikonia: any configuration should be done in /etc/default/grub  then re-run 'update-grub'
[13:10] <ikonia> lucent: looks good
[13:10] <lucent> Uninewb: that's what I've heard, it's not the same on my computer so I am not certain
[13:10] <ikonia> Zeu5: no it does not, read it again
[13:10] <Zeu5> ikonia: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EC2StartersGuide i have read this a while before. so i am quite sure this is official
[13:10] <ikonia> Zeu5: no it is not
[13:10] <Uninewb> before that i had a message saying : grub loading press esc to accces the nemu
[13:11] <Uninewb> now it just load ubuntu
[13:11] <ikonia> Zeu5: I will paste a line from the official ubuntu website
[13:11] <Zeu5> http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/10.04/release/
[13:11] <ikonia> Zeu5: Unofficial but well-maintained AMIs (8.04 Hardy through 9.04 Jaunty), including "EBS root" images for Hardy and Karmic are available from Eric Hammond's site Alestic.com.
[13:11] <Zeu5> i am using 10.04
[13:11] <ikonia> Zeu5: note the word "unofficial and Eric Hammonds site alestic.com"
[13:11] <ikonia> Zeu5: now stop arguing this
[13:11] <Zeu5> i am NOT using 8.04 through 9.04
[13:11] <ikonia> Zeu5: you got your images from alestic.com
[13:11] <ikonia> Zeu5: alestic.com are unofficial
[13:12] <Zeu5> no, i got it from amazon.com which got the images from canonical and alestic. i simply chose the one that canonical released
[13:12] <Zeu5> http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/10.04/release/ see this list. i chose the one under server 64 bit
[13:12] <ikonia> Zeu5: ok - if you want to aruge that, log a bug
[13:12] <lucent> Uninewb: left shift would work, unless you have a Dell Mini with its strange bootloader that intercepts the key
[13:12] <ikonia> Zeu5: the website to log a bug is launchpad.net
[13:12] <ikonia> !bugs > Zeu5
[13:12] <Zeu5> i am clarifying ikonia. i dun want to pick an argument.
[13:13] <{g}> Hey People! Any idea how I can get Hardware accelerated graphics working on my Lenovo X301? In the latest Ubuntu, you can show HW acceleration in "about:supported" and it tells me no HW acceleration. Under Windows, its accelerated.
[13:13] <Uninewb> i'll try that
[13:13] <Uninewb> thank you very much
[13:13] <ikonia> Zeu5: you told me earlier you got it from alestic.com, now you said amazon,
[13:13] <ikonia> Zeu5: I'm not pushing this any more
[13:13] <ikonia> Zeu5: you're changing your answer to make this "official"
[13:13] <ikonia> if it's official, log a bug and it will get picked up
[13:14] <Zeu5> ikonia: i am sorry if i was unclear.
[13:14] <Zeu5> i got into amazon aws.
[13:14] <Zeu5> they have a list of AMIs listed.
[13:14] <lucent> {g}: tell us, what do you know of the graphics chipset?  which model / manufacturer
[13:14] <Zeu5> i read the the alestic.com website cause they are top of google search for ubuntu machine images aws
[13:14] <{g}> lucent: how do i find out? lspci | grep vga?
[13:14] <lucent> {g}: sounds close
[13:14] <Putr> hey how do i disable filemaneger poping up when i connect a USB drive
[13:15] <maedhros777> Does anyone know why I get a segfault whenever run anything with OpenGL? lspci | grep VGA gives http://codepad.org/xDBeaVFz
[13:15] <{g}> lucent: hmm.. no output.
[13:15] <{g}> lucent: ah, its VGA!
[13:15] <lucent> {g}: any vga would be uppercase, try insensitive grep -i
[13:15] <lucent> right
[13:15] <{g}> lucent: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)
[13:15] <Zeu5> i am sure that the images that amazon has come from either canonical or this eric hammond. i did mention early on that i am using 10.04 server 64bit. and i showed you this page http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/releases/10.04/release/
[13:15] <lucent> oh, Intel stuff
[13:16] <lucent> {g}: *if* it's going to work, it should just already work.
[13:16] <ikonia> Zeu5: stop wasting my time and wait for your git support ticket to be responded to
[13:16] <{g}> lucent: so in other words "no hope"
[13:16] <lucent> the Intel drivers are all a bit slow to roll down the line
[13:16] <lucent> there may be working code out there for your device even if it is bleeding edge new
[13:16] <lucent> I haven't had an interest in these things for many years, that's how old my laptop is now :)
[13:16] <Zeu5> ikonia: i understand. if it is not against official policies, i wish to continue asking for help in this channel while waiting for support requests
[13:17] <ikonia> Zeu5: read https://help.ubuntu.com and learn how to do a basic setup of the server, that will get you moving
[13:17] <devp> hi. i have this old laptop, cd drive not working. its currently got winxp. i am trying to fully erase windows & give all hdd space to Ubuntu, but the WUBI installer seems to only use free space in any of the windows drives
[13:17] <ikonia> Zeu5: at the moment if you don't know the command "ls" you'll struggle to progress anything with anyone trying to help you debug it
[13:17] <juk__> where empathy stores passwords?
[13:17] <devp> is there another way to install directly from the internet?
[13:17] <incandenza> devp: you can install from a USB flash drive
[13:17] <devp> without downloading the iso.
[13:18] <EM64T> Hi. Is there a way to set audio output (headphone/sepakers) form terminal?
[13:18] <devp> incandenza: what/which software do i need to have on the usb drive?
[13:18] <Zeu5> ikonia: since you did not say i am not forbidden to ask for help, i shall continue to do so. thank you for your help so far. i will look at the links you sent at the same time.
[13:18] <ikonia> Zeu5: I've told you the problem
[13:18] <ikonia> Zeu5: the fact that you are still "asking for help" shows you've not read
[13:19] <incandenza> devp: on the ubuntu download page there are instructions on how to put it on a USB drive
[13:19] <EM64T> Hi. Is there a way to set audio output (headphone/sepakers) form terminal?
[13:19] <devp> anything small like WUBI that i can download quickly, put on USB drive, boot from USB to partition the comp & then d
[13:19] <lucent> juk__: possibly with the keychain, but I don't know. try looking with 'seahorse' program
[13:19] <devp> oh
[13:19] <maedhros777> anyone know why OpenGL stuff reports segfaults?
[13:19] <lucent> EM64T: have a look at 'amixer' ; the use is complicated, there is also 'alsamixer'
[13:19] <lucent> alsamixer is easy to use
[13:19] <EM64T> lucent thanks, no i need from term.
[13:20] <EM64T> lucent amixer looks prommising
[13:20] <lucent> EM64T: the default device is PulseAudio control unless you specify a hardware device card -c0;   alsamixer -c1
[13:20] <lucent> that's the example
[13:20] <lucent> amixer is good for scripted control
[13:21] <juk__> ls
[13:21] <glaucous> Isn't there a working PPA available for LibreOffice yet?
[13:21] <ady01> anone had experience connecting ubuntu to a authentication server  ?
[13:22] <ectospasm> ady01: you may want to look into LDAP, but sadly I have zero experience setting one up
[13:23] <devp> incandenza: i think i got it. the usb installer. thanks :0
[13:23] <humbolt> s linux prepared for 4k HDD sectors already?
[13:23] <incandenza> np
[13:23] <humbolt> Do I need to do any configuration?
[13:23] <devp> btw should i choose ext4 or ext3?
[13:23] <devp> ext4 is the latest right?
[13:23] <maedhros777> well, bye
[13:24] <lucent> ext4 has problems, devp
[13:24] <ectospasm> devp: I haven't had any problems with ext4
[13:24] <devp> oh
[13:24] <ady01> ectospasm got the server already set up but want the clients to use the server to login not the local machine !
[13:24] <lucent> see?  it depends who you ask ;)
[13:24] <ectospasm> ady01: look into PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules)
[13:25] <lucent> devp: if nothing is important, and you keep good backups, ext4 is interesting to try
[13:25] <devp> :P
[13:25] <ady01> ectospasm already on the server buddy - just stuck making the local machines login using the information on the server
[13:25] <devp> lucent: nah this old laptop will just serve as a browsing machine for dad
[13:25] <devp> nothing serious
[13:26] <lucent> I don't see the benefit in doing ext4, then.
[13:26] <ectospasm> ady01: yes, set up PAM on the *clients* to use LDAP instead of local!
[13:26] <ady01> ectospasm you may have a point there ectospasm
[13:26] <ectospasm> ady01: mmmhmm
[13:27] <ectospasm> ady01: exactly how is left as an exercise for the reader (-;

[13:50] <juk__> how to open port for transmission
[13:50] <ubuntu> Ifewalter_12 cna u help me how to solve this
[13:50] <almis> I have tried it but the only thing  that is do it to write on gedit the man of head and save it on my home directory... when i write head i write 10 thinks but i dont understand what is do
[13:50] <almis> Use the command: man head > head.txt. Use the command head to read the first 10 lines
[13:50] <almis> of the file. What does the command man head > head.txt do?
[13:50] <Dreams4Desires> has anybody found any idea to fix that intel ips no graphics symbol problem?
[13:51] <Ifewalter_12> Ubuntut, would u prefer a link to an article, or would u like me to explain
[13:51] <ubuto> juk__ : transmission for ?
[13:51] <Dreams4Desires> i am facing it every time when i start my system its pritty annoying
[13:51] <juk__> ubuto: what?
[13:52] <ubuto> juk__ : open port for ?
[13:52] <weeman> tensorpudding can gparted detect faults sooner than windows chkdsk or samsung tools ?
[13:52] <juk__> ubuto: how to open port
[13:53] <tensorpudding> weeman: faults? like bad blocks or dying drives? something like S.M.A.R.T. would be better for that
[13:53] <wisevoyager> Does anyone know how to remove voice while playing video file on movie player? I'm using ubuntu 10.10 on my PC now. I means when I want to sing with karaoke. :D
[13:53] <weeman> strange a full samsung tools surface scan reports disk ok no problems
[13:54] <tensorpudding> gparted only does partitioning, chkdsk is a filesystem checker, and samsung's tool probably is something altogether different
[13:54] <Ifewalter_12> @almis man head > head.txt sends the output of man hean to heas.txt
[13:54] <tensorpudding> weeman: what is your error, anyway?
[13:55] <Ifewalter_12> @almis, i cant do private. I'm on mobile irc client...sorry
[13:55] <gentth> i have installed ubuntu 10.10 on this dell latitude laptop http://ompldr.org/vNXdoOQ/IMG_0422.JPG
[13:55] <almis> oh ok... and when i write head it ask me write 10 things but i dont understand what is the result
[13:55] <ubuto> juk__ : specified your problem with ports more plzz
[13:56] <gentth> and now it's having screen problems
[13:56] <ubuto> juk__ : u mean port forwarding ?
[13:56] <juk__> ubuto: it's open, nevermind
[13:56] <ondong> #makassar
[13:56] <Ifewalter_12> By default when you say head
[13:57] <Ifewalter_12> It expects you to input a file name
[13:57] <almis> oa
[13:57] <almis> lok
[13:57] <almis> ok
[13:57] <Ifewalter_12> So for instance if you want to see the first 10 lines of a file named note.txt
[13:58] <Ifewalter_12> Type head note.txt
[13:58] <Ifewalter_12> If you type head alone
[13:58] <Ifewalter_12> The it prompts for file name which should then be notes.txt
[13:59] <almis> that was really helpful tnx again
[14:00] <Ifewalter_12> Yu're welcome
[14:00] <dwarder> what is the best way to use remote widnows xp, even over The internet maybe
[14:00] <Ashkaar> Hi, I try to install the touchpad on my lenovo g550. It is not listed in /proc/bus/input/devices, so only mouse motion works but no scrolling... I use ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. Any ideas how to fix this?
[14:01] <Ifewalter_12> Vnc
[14:02] <almis> oh ifewalter i have problem with nvidia card when i install it and do restart i have problem desktop not appear... do you know any solution
[14:03] <wisevoyager> Does anyone know how to remove voice while playing video file on movie player? I'm using ubuntu 10.10 on my PC now. I means when I want to sing with karaoke. :D
[14:04] <prov> I think I have a X problem. I attempt to run blender and it does not start. I try from the terminal and here is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/518687/   any pointer are appreciated.
[14:05] <jrib> prov: what card and driver?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3TtF2f-x5g  I think this program is available and for linux... search it
[14:05] <prov> jrib: Is there a command to find out?
[14:05] <jrib> prov: lspci | grep -i vga
[14:06] <wisevoyager> @almis, thank you! I'll try it now. :D
[14:06] <Ifewalter_12> You have to install proprietary drivers
[14:06] <prov> jrib: 03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 0869 (rev b1)
[14:06] <jrib> prov: open up System -> Admin -> Hardware Drivers
[14:07] <Ashkaar> here the output of /var/log/Xorg.0.log: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/279149/
[14:08] <almis> @Ifewalter_12 So what I can do?  If i download from the official site it will work?
[14:08] <Ifewalter_12> After install on the panel goto system - admin -additional drivers
[14:08] <prov> jrib: give me a little more time I am trying to multi-task.
[14:08] <Ifewalter_12> Ubutnu will automatically locate your nvidia and ask you to download the drivers
[14:09] <almis> yes i have downloaded from there
[14:09] <bloopletech> Ashkaar, is it a synaptics touchpad?
[14:09] <almis> but when i do restart
[14:09] <Ifewalter_12> Znd you still have same prob?
[14:09] <Somelauw> Hi, what is the name of the default pdf viewer?
[14:09] <almis> yes... black windows appear and write something tty1
[14:09] <Ashkaar> bloopletech, i didnt' find anything about this in the data sheet
[14:09] <almis> ask me for login and password
[14:10] <bloopletech> Somelauw, under gnome, it's evince
[14:10] <almis> and then is like the terminal window
[14:10] <Ifewalter_12> Yes terminal
[14:10] <Somelauw> Can you make evince open pdf's in firefox?
[14:10] <almis> desktop dissapear
[14:10] <Dice-Man> i'm a away
[14:10] <Ifewalter_12> Thats a x-server problem
[14:10] <bloopletech> Ashkaar, it probably is - you may be able to configure it via gnome mouse preferences, but for advanced config you'll need to modify your xorg.conf
[14:10] <prov> jrib: Are you a forgiving person?
[14:11] <almis> So its better to not write the driver, right?
[14:11] <bloopletech> Somelauw, I'm not sure. Google chrome has built-in pdf reading in the latest dev channel releases
[14:11] <Ifewalter_12> When ubuntu is bootin press esc
[14:11] <Ashkaar> bloopletech, the mouse preferences are disabled because it is not detected... and the xorg.conf is not available under 10.10
[14:12] <Ifewalter_12> Then goto fix x server. Prob last menu. The try rebooting
[14:12] <bloopletech> Ashkaar, I can assure you I have configured 2-finger scroll with an xorg conf under 10.10
[14:12] <Ifewalter_12> If it doesn't work next step will be to remove ur hardware from blacklist
[14:12] <bloopletech> But it not detecting your mouse... thinking
[14:13] <Ashkaar> bloopletech, /etc/X11/xorg.conf does not exist...
[14:13] <almis> ok i will try it
[14:13] <bloopletech> Ashkaar, hang on
[14:13] <thevishy> !desktop
[14:14] <bloopletech> Ashkaar, what model thinkpad is it?
[14:14] <Ashkaar> lenovo g550
[14:14] <Ashkaar> bloopletech, i have a second one... a bit older, there the touchpad works fine
[14:14] <mr_boo> hi
[14:15] <Ashkaar> but i see no difference in configuration
[14:15] <mr_boo> i've installed the maverick meerkat version of ubuntu
[14:15] <mr_boo> does anyone know how to install -rt kernel?
[14:15] <Legend28469> hey everyone don't mean to interrupt but after upgrading Ubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10 I can't even get to my grub menu instead some cmd line shows up (I installed Ubuntu via Wine if that matters)... can someone help whenever ur done helpin the other guy
[14:15] <dwarder> what vnc protocol viewer(client) do you use?
[14:15] <mr_boo> Legend28469, i had same issues
[14:15] <Legend28469> how'd u solve
[14:16] <G__81> i installed ubuntu 10.10 and then installed the nvidia drivers too but after installing when the system boots i see couple of messages being displayed on screen when the system boots, though everthing is fine but these messages come up on the screen when the Ubuntu 10.10 logo appears hence it breaks the boot up experience. Is this a known bug and is there a solution for it?
[14:16] <mr_boo> Legend28469, i tried sudo apt-get update
[14:16] <Legend28469> that works in the grub cmd line thing?
[14:16] <mr_boo> Legend28469, but then an error came up and recommended me to do sudo dpkg --reconfigure
[14:16] <mr_boo> Legend28469, don't remember the syntax in the last one
[14:16] <Legend28469> oh
[14:17] <G__81> can some one help me out ?
[14:17] <bloopletech> Ashkaar, look at your cat /proc/bus/input/devices - does it mention an ALPS touchpad?
[14:17] <Legend28469> Well.. next time I'm at my linux my machine.. i'll give it a go, Thank you =D
[14:17] <bloopletech> G__81, you'll need to be more patient ;)
[14:17] <Ashkaar> bloopletech, no there is no
[14:17] <G__81> bloopletech, :) yeah
[14:18] <mr_boo> does anyone know how to install the -rt kernel?
[14:18] <Ashkaar> bloopletech, only generic mouse
[14:18] <bloopletech> wierd
[14:18] <mr_boo> how do i install the -rt kernel?
[14:18] <Ashkaar> bloopletech, exactly ^^ on the second maschine, there is such a device listed
[14:19] <Diverdude> How do i uninstall a package with the packetmanager?
[14:19] <aeon-ltd> mr_boo: read the news https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RealTime
[14:19] <bloopletech> Ashkaar, what's different between the machines?
[14:19] <bloopletech> Diverdude, sudo apt-get remove <package>
[14:19] <mr_boo> thanks aeon-ltd
[14:19] <Ashkaar> bloopletech, i don't knoe, both are g550, the second one is about one year old... this one is new
[14:20] <bloopletech> and they're both running 10.10?
[14:20] <Ashkaar> yes
[14:20] <BajK> Does anybody know where Chromium has its user configuration files? User style sheets
[14:20] <BajK> ah got it
[14:21] <mr_boo> if i check the "mark for complete removal" option in synaptic, will this remove items in the package manager so they can't be found when searching for packages?
[14:21] <aeon-ltd> mr_boo: yes it deletes everything but user config files
[14:21] <gaberlunzie> does anyone know what other apps use couchdb besides evolution? i want to uninstall it (along with evolution)
[14:21]  * Dreams4Desires says hello
[14:21] <bloopletech> mr_boo, no
[14:22] <thevishy> how do I enable wireless network in LXCE
[14:22] <aeon-ltd> mr_boo: however the repos still have the pkgs at hand
[14:22] <mr_boo> aeon-ltd, i can't find any realtime kernels in synaptic
[14:23] <aeon-ltd> mr_boo: you didn;t read the news "The -preempt and -rt kernels are no longer being developed due to lack of support. Focus has instead turned to the -lowlatency and -realtime kernels, particularly for the the release of Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal. The long-term goal is to have -lowlatency in the official Ubuntu repositories, while maintaining -realtime in a dedicated PPA."
[14:23] <Ashkaar> bloopletech, the working maschine was upgraded from 10.04... maybe this is the difference?
[14:24] <bloopletech> Ashkaar, it might be - you might have installed some drivers for it under .04 that were kept when you upgraded
[14:24] <mr_boo> aeon-ltd, i interpret that as that 10.10 would have at least the -lowlatency and -realtime then
[14:24] <Ashkaar> bloopletech, is there any way to check this?
[14:24] <bloopletech> Ashkaar, trying to find out
[14:24] <thevishy> anyone who use lxce here ?
[14:25] <Diverdude> Why does mediawiki have replicated files in both /usr/share/mediawiki/ and /var/lib/mediawiki/  ??
[14:26] <aeon-ltd> mr_boo: they are being prepped for 11.04, hence they should have a testing ppa, -realtime has a ppa you can add, and download the kernel from
[14:26] <endhiran> an application for converting .mp3 sound file to .aac sound file?
[14:26] <aeon-ltd> thevishy: did wireless work in gnome? or before? if so you need a network manager
[14:26] <Dreams4Desires> hii all
[14:27] <endhiran>  does anyone know an application for converting .mp3 sound file to .aac sound file?

[14:28] <bloopletech> Ashkaar, I'm not sure of the solution to your issue - have you tried comparing the xorg.confs between them?
[14:28] <dwarder> does anyone connect to remote windows xp using vnc protocol
[14:28] <endhiran> aeon-ltd:  an application for converting .mp3 sound file to .aac sound file?

[14:28] <dwarder> somehow i have nothing happaning upon connection to my vnc server
[14:28] <dwarder> happening
[14:28] <Ashkaar> bloopletech, there are no /etc/X11/xorg.confs on both

[14:32] <gaberlunzie> is couchdb critical to any app besides evolution?
[14:32] <endhiran> aeon-ltd:ok thanks........:'(
[14:32] <TopGear> hi
[14:32] <Ashkaar> bloopletech, a already tried this... there are no hints how to fix it when  its not detected
[14:32] <TopGear> does someone know how to install the 96 nvidia drivers in 10.10?
[14:33] <bloopletech> Ashkaar, not even on the debugging page? it has some more detailed steps
[14:33] <dpac_> hi guys, want to know how does cp -u check if the file being copied is newer?
[14:33] <Ashkaar> bloopletech, yes :(
[14:33] <bloopletech> Oh and also, the touchpad hasn't been disabled in the hardware or anything, right?
[14:34] <bloopletech> like in the bios or the hardware kill switch (if you have one)
[14:34] <Ashkaar> bloopletech, no in the bios there is no option for this, and also it works... only  scrolling doesn't
[14:35] <bloopletech> oh right of course, sorry
[14:35] <TopGear> without ruining my X
[14:35] <bloopletech> well all I can say is that it appears to not be detecting it as a alps touchpad and falling back to an emulation mode for it, which is why the scrolling isn't working
[14:36] <bloopletech> I have a vague memory that I was in the same boat till I added an xorg config section for the touchpad
[14:36] <Ashkaar> bloopletech, I think this worked for 10.04... but not for 10.10
[14:37] <gaberlunzie> TopGear: 10.10 is not compatible with nvidia-96 driver, according to the release notes: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MaverickMeerkat/ReleaseNotes#Graphics%20and%20Display ... i dont know of a workaround
[14:37] <bloopletech> Ashkaar, well that's the limit of the help I can provide
[14:37] <Ashkaar> bloopletech, ok. thank you for your time
[14:37] <TopGear> gaberlunzie, oh, that's why I couldn't make those dirvers work... sad...
[14:37] <Ashkaar> i'll try to reinstall 10.04
[14:38] <gaberlunzie> TopGear: yea, both 96 and 173, unfortunately
[14:38] <shroomer82> wow, how would 10.10 suddenl make nvidia drivers stop working?
[14:38] <bloopletech> shroomer82, they probably depend on different versions of xorg etc.
[14:38] <gaberlunzie> TopGear: it's a compatibility issue with Xorg 1.9
[14:38] <megh> endhiran try installing WinFF
[14:39] <shroomer82> oh...and i guess the ubuntu people just assumed its something nvidia should fix, and theyre not waiting up?
[14:40] <shroomer82> ya know i find it a little disconcerting that ubuntu is going the direction of music stores and software stores
[14:41] <bloopletech> shroomer82, well ubuntu can't control at what speed nvidia updates their drivers
[14:41] <mangojuice> how to disable true-transparency for gnome terminal and get pseudo transparency?
[14:41] <mangojuice> how to disable true-transparency for gnome terminal and get pseudo transparency?
[14:42] <gaberlunzie> TopGear: did u try to switch to nvidia-current?
[14:42] <bloopletech> and I don't know if they asked nvidia, nvidia would be happy to update their drivers to ubuntu's schedule
[14:42] <mangojuice> how to disable true-transparency for gnome terminal and get pseudo transparency?
[14:42] <bloopletech> mangojuice, do not flood
[14:43] <aeon-ltd> mangojuice: it'd help if you said what terminal
[14:43] <aeon-ltd> *helpful
[14:43] <mangojuice> @aeon : gnome-terminal
[14:43] <gaberlunzie> i'm running nvidia-current with no problems
[14:44] <dpac_> hi guys, want to know how does cp -u check if the file being copied is newer?
[14:44] <aeon-ltd> mangojuice: please google sometime, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TransparentTerminals#Pseudo-Transparent%20Terminals%20with%20Alltray%20+%20gnome-terminal
[14:44] <bouboul-iv> Ubuntu 10.10 roxx
[14:44] <bloopletech> mangojuice, what do you mean pseudo-transparency? Do you mean translucent as opposed to 100% transparent?
[14:44] <thevishy> !lxce
[14:44] <thevishy> !lfce
[14:44] <shroomer82> bouboul-iv: yes but one thing i noticed is that the software center is slower in 10.10 than it was in 10.04
[14:44] <bloopletech> dpac_, probably by comparing the mtime on the file
[14:45] <TopGear> gaberlunzie, I do have visual, but verry strange... as if nothing is rendered... bootscreen is not nice, and letters aren't readeble
[14:45] <mangojuice> @bloopletech : u'll just see the desktop wallpaper(root desktop) no icons of widgets or any underlying windows in pseudo transparency
[14:45] <dpac_> bloopletech: Can I make it so that it compares size and overwrite if the size is different? Maybe using rsync?
[14:46] <bloopletech> dpac_, one sec
[14:46] <bloopletech> mangojuice, hmm that wiki article aeon-ltd reffered to looks promising
[14:47] <bloopletech> dpac_, are you going to have files with the same mtime but different contents?
[14:47] <mangojuice> @bloopletech : yea.. but i just want to to know if we can disable desktop composition for gnome-terminal which disables true transparency
[14:47] <bloopletech> mangojuice, why do you want to?
[14:47] <dpac_> bloopletech: Yes, apparently come files are giving read errors on my drive and are only partially copied but they have same mtime. To fix that I gotta use size as differentiator so that it overwrites those files.
[14:48] <mangojuice> @bloopetech : setting terminal as wallpaper
[14:48] <dpac_> bloopletech: some*
[14:48] <bloopletech> mangojuice, what on earth... fine, sorry I can't help you
[14:48] <bloopletech> dpac_, hmm yeah maybe rsync would be a  better bet
[14:49] <thevishy> can anyone suggest a good light desktop enviroment ?
[14:49] <Somelauw> Okay, I found a way any program can be embedded in firefox. It is called mozpluggerc.
[14:50] <thevishy> !equinox
[14:51] <mangojuice> @bloopletech : check this out http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=119872
[14:51] <dpac_> bloopletech: Got it. -c is even better, it uses checksum. --size-only checks for size differences. Thanks, anyways.
[14:51] <bloopletech> mangojuice, mmm it seems like a really silly idea to me, but whatever makes you happy
[14:51] <bloopletech> dpac_, good to know
[14:52] <thevishy> can anyone tell me if equinox is available for buntu
[14:54] <slashfoo> guys, quick question, is there a way to make wireless enabled by default? I find myself having to go to "enable wireless" option in the right click menu of my connections every time I log in
[14:54] <bloopletech> thevishy, it looks like an eclipse plugin ... you can just install it on top of eclipse...?

[14:59] <gaberlunzie> TopGear: hmm, i'm not sure about the unsightly/unreadable bootscreen ... my experiences is that it gets sorted out on successive boots
[14:59] <ubuntu> its anymore no response

[15:00] <Craig`> sorry, but will someone answer me?
[15:00] <IdleOne> ubuntu: ok, have you been approved by a membership board?
[15:00] <Newa> Craig`: wine's repository version doesn't support pulseaudio to my knowledge
[15:00] <erUSUL> atude: o.0!
[15:00] <Craig`> Newa, forgot about wine for now, i can't hear audio whatsoever.
[15:00] <TopGear> gaberlunzie, I'm sure it's a driver failure... I'm heading back for 10.04LTS, and I'll see if they'll fix it for 10.10
[15:01] <Cajun_Lan_Man> Hello All.  I've got a strange update problem. Despite the fact that I just updated, it tells me that package information was updated 19 days ago.
[15:01] <ubuntu> my name Is Vishnu and username is vishnuvishnu.2012 please approve that
[15:01] <Newa> you could try using a wrapper program to convert oss-soundcalls into pulse
[15:01] <IdleOne> ubuntu: please /join #ubuntu-irc for more help with this issue
[15:01] <Craig`> mind helping me with that? i'm clueless.
[15:01] <ubuntu> hey any help

[15:02] <ubuntu> how to get a mail ID with Ubuntu domain
[15:02] <bazhang> ubuntu, we just told you
[15:02] <ubuntu> its not working
[15:02] <Newa> Craig`: I got started with this: http://heratech.net/blog/sham/spotifyubuntuwinepulseaudio
[15:02] <erUSUL> ubuntu: you've been told already. you have to become an ubuntu memeber.
[15:02] <ubuntu> i have already applied
[15:02] <dwarder> anyone tried to see direct3d/openGl content over vnc, is it possible, i have issues?
[15:02] <dwarder> it it possible?
[15:02] <bazhang> ubuntu, then you need to receive approval. that has nothing to do with ubuntu support here
[15:03] <leuhiah> any idea how can i view a .plf file?
[15:03] <Craig`> Newa, is there not just some simple apt-get command? i used apt-get purge to remove pulseaudio and some others, i only want my audio back
[15:04] <llutz> leuhiah: whats a plf-file? what does "file foo.plf" say?
[15:04] <v0111d107> ioin #piratenradio
[15:04] <leuhiah> it's a midi.plf it was burn in ubuntu and it's karaoke disc
[15:05] <leuhiah> i want to view in windows
[15:05] <llutz> leuhiah: so ask in a windows-channel
[15:05] <Newa> erm. in that case, your situation probably needs more expertise than I have. First guess would be to try if ALSA or OSS interfaces work to produce audio (reboots could help too)

[15:19] <llutz> anygivenname:  MaxAuthTries 3
[15:19] <rhorstkoetter> thus there isn't a consistent mount point
[15:20] <anygivenname> IIutz: does sshd control the access to my system though network....right?
[15:20] <llutz> anygivenname: its the configuration for your openssh-server
[15:20] <rhorstkoetter> any ideas how to share the drives whatever label to inserted media has?

[15:22] <tomgra> Does anyone know why I cannot do a clean install on a 1 TB drive?
[15:23] <BluesKaj> I ran the alternat install due to my older HW not working on the live-cd , but now I get a grub.cfg hang and dpkg lock , during the updates install . If I run the dpkg unlock and configure -a commands apt just tries to generate grub.cfg again and returns to the hang. Of course when I reboot grub is gone
[15:23] <llutz> anygivenname: and sshd_config on your system is the place to configure this. other ways to obtain that could be fail2ban or denyhost
[15:23] <almis> hey guys anyone know how command cat work?

[15:24] <TANK8465> lmao. man cat
[15:24] <llutz> ganeshran: if you need write-access, read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[15:24] <llutz> cat is useless in most cases :)
[15:24] <almis> I must Use the command cat to display the file new_list.txt.
[15:24] <sresu> Can ssh work for my home and hostel in the same city?
[15:24] <llutz> almis: cat new_list.txt
[15:24] <anygivenname> IIutz: then setting MaxAuthTries 3 needs more info regarding baning the IP trying to connect
[15:24] <blackice87> "cat new_list.txt"
[15:25] <anygivenname> IIutz: I mean additional command
[15:25] <almis> cat: new_list.txt: No such file or directory
[15:25] <llutz> anygivenname: look at fail2ban or denyhosts
[15:25] <almis> this message appear
[15:25] <llutz> almis: cat path/to/file
[15:25] <__cool__> almis: then you can't because the file doesnt' exist. as cat: says
[15:25] <faim> hi
[15:26] <almis> its exist is on almis/opsys
[15:26] <Cajun_Lan_Man> Might anyone have any idea why my package information keeps telling me it was last updated 19 days ago?
[15:26] <john___> exit
[15:26] <__cool__> almis: you may have to 'cd opsys' then or whatever
[15:26] <Valerio85> hi everyone. i have installed kernel 2.6.36 to let my audio and led dimming of my Vaio works. Now i have to reinstall nvidia drivers but i can't go on because the compiler in use is gcc4.4 and the kernel compiler is 4.2. What can i do?
[15:26] <__cool__> almis: before using the cat
[15:26] <almis> will try now
[15:27] <llutz> almis: cat almis/opsys/new_list.txt
[15:27] <__cool__> almis: find out (with 'pwd') where you are. cd to the missing paht components
[15:27] <anygivenname> IIutz: ok I put MaxAuthTries 3 in the Authentication section in sshd_config.....where can I find denyhosts?
[15:27] <llutz> anygivenname: http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/      http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
[15:28] <llutz> anygivenname: both should be in the repos
[15:28] <almis> pwd say me that i here /home/almis/opsys
[15:28] <almis> and my file is there
[15:28] <almis> but when i use cat
[15:28] <almis> i have the same proglem
[15:28] <ganeshran> llutz: I gave the boot option as rw.  Maybe I have to regress to an older ubuntu on the desktop pc
[15:28] <almis> without it it work
[15:29] <llutz> ganeshran: only root will have rw
[15:29] <crashev> I did dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 and now both these partitions have the same UUID and the system went crazy - how to fix that ?
[15:29] <tudalex> guys

[15:29] <ganeshran> llutz: I am able to edit files
[15:29] <tudalex> how can I extend a lvm?

[15:31] <thevishy> in windows there are many should be something in Linux also
[15:31] <llutz> ganeshran: your user has writeaccess to the ntfs? then all is fine
