[21:03] <user82> billy2007, its called apple-store
[21:03] <Duke_> should it be Ubuntu 11?
[21:03] <Defectz> ok so i typed that command into the terminal
[21:03] <Defectz> then it says
[21:03] <isteve_> hey anyone pls reply to my problem first
[21:03] <Defectz> -sudo0 password for comp
[21:03] <guntbert> billy2007: ask alis:  /msg alis list *iphone*

[21:03] <wildfire100> my question is up there^^^^^^^
[21:03] <Defectz> and i cant input anything
[21:03] <wildfire100> lol
[21:03] <tauntaun> Mail newbie question: Is there anything wrong with leaving mail in maildirs permanently?
[21:04] <isteve_> Defectz : your  root password
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> Duke_: 11.04 you mean? Ubuntu 11 doesn't exist
[21:04] <Defectz> i cant type anything into the terminal
[21:04] <szal> Defectz: yes, you can; at the password prompt you get no visual feedback, just enter your password & hit Return
[21:04] <Jordan_U> Defectz: Just type your password. It is being recognized, it's just not showing '*' or other characters as you type.
[21:04] <Duke_> ActionParsnip: yeah. sorry about that.
[21:04] <Defectz> ok
[21:04] <Defectz> that worked
[21:04] <isteve_> Defectz : its 11.04 nothing like 11.. download either 10.10 or 11.04 both are pretty good
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: use your user password, there will be no feedback but just keep typing
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> isteve_: there is no root password
[21:05] <Jordan_U> isteve_: It's not his reoot password (he should have none) it's his own user's password.
[21:05] <isteve_> Defectz : sorry it was for Duke_
[21:05] <Defectz> unable to locate package nvidia
[21:05] <Defectz> ahh im not connected to internet
[21:05] <szal> lol
[21:05] <lazarus_> ActionParsnip: is there any way to set the cpu fan to always on?
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current      nvidia isn't a package ;)
[21:05] <Defectz> yes
[21:05] <Defectz> power options
[21:05] <isteve_> yeah  meant the password he uses when he converts himself to root on the terminal
[21:06] <guntbert> !who | Defectz
[21:06] <ActionParsnip> lazarus_: not sure, might be an acpi command to do it
[21:06] <Defectz> ubottu: will do
[21:06] <szal> Defectz: and don't talk to ubottu, he won't answer you :P
[21:06] <Defectz> noticed lol
[21:06] <Nisstyre> yes
[21:07] <isteve_> Defectz : ubottu is a bot
[21:07] <Defectz> so, i forget who was helping me but i put that command into the terminal and put in the password now what?
[21:07] <guntbert> !gender | szal
[21:08] <Defectz> ubottu: your not femal
[21:08] <szal> Defectz: so now you are connected? then run the above command & wait for activity to finish (it's done when the prompt re-appears)
[21:08] <Defectz> ..
[21:08] <Defectz> no
[21:08] <szal> no what?
[21:08] <Defectz> well i have to install this software
[21:08] <Defectz> on a disk
[21:08] <Defectz> to connect to internet
[21:08] <szal> what software?
[21:09] <Defectz> linsys wireless adapter
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: that will be a windows driver
[21:09] <Defectz> setup
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: is it a usb device?
[21:09] <Defectz> yes
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: can you run:   lsusb     one line will identify the device, what is the 8 character hex ID of the device?
[21:10] <io> Defectz: Windows software (unless supported by and run under Wine) won't work on Ubuntu (Linux)
[21:10] <Defectz> io: so what should i do?
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: it MAY be needed to run with ndisgtk but there may be a naive driver which will run better
[21:10] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: I already told you what to do..
[21:11] <DroidFreak> Anyone mind helping me with this
[21:11] <guntbert> Defectz: please write your statements all in one line, don't press <enter> so often - that makes the channel scroll even faster
[21:11] <DroidFreak> http://pastebin.com/uYdd5hHd
[21:11] <DroidFreak> When I try compiling AOSP I get permission errors
[21:11] <DroidFreak> And I right click the folder thats giving me the problems, go to Permissions, and it says im not root user
[21:11] <szal> ActionParsnip: a naïve driver?
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> szal: d'oh
[21:12] <Defectz> actionparsnip: so how do i run it with ndisgtk
[21:12] <isteve_> DroidFreak : its saying so cos you are not logged in as root
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: we need to check for a native driver first
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> DroidFreak: run:  sudo -i     then compile
[21:12] <DroidFreak> isteve How do i log in as root?
[21:13] <aidan_follestad> sudo su
[21:13] <aidan_follestad> and then type your root password
[21:13] <newb> where do i find the c standard lib in ubuntu
[21:13] <Jordan_U> isteve_: DroidFreak: You should *not* log in as root.
[21:13] <szal> aidan_follestad: there is no root password by default
[21:13] <DroidFreak> ok
[21:13] <isteve_> DroidFreak : you never login as root .. just change permission of file if you wanna change
[21:13] <Jordan_U> !sudo | DroidFreak isteve_
[21:13] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: howto rollback an upgrade
[21:13] <DroidFreak> i try typing make clean first but it says there is no rule to make celean
[21:13] <DroidFreak> *clean
[21:13] <aidan_follestad> When you first setup Ubuntu it asks you run the password setter in the Terminal, but if you don't then yeah there's no root password.
[21:13] <allowoverride> been two days
[21:14] <isteve_> Jordan_U: i know one should not login as root
[21:14] <newb> where do i find the c standard lib in ubuntu?
[21:14] <guntbert> aidan_follestad: no, thats just wrong
[21:14] <Defectz> action: so how do we check for that driver
[21:14] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: and im going to go back to NM vs wicd
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: did you upgrade using an added PPA?
[21:14] <szal> !repeat | newb
[21:14] <isteve_> DroidFreak : are u trying to install a software?
[21:14] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: no, i used repo to install wicd
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> newb: install build-essential   and you'll have it
[21:14] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip:  no ppa in like a long time
[21:14] <Jordan_U> aidan_follestad: Nothing in Ubuntu asks you to set a root password. In fact having a root password set in Ubuntu is explicitly unsupported.
[21:14] <szal> newb: and please provide us with context; what exactly are you doing?
[21:14] <DroidFreak> No compiling AOSP Froyo
[21:14] <DroidFreak> isteve
[21:14] <aidan_follestad> guntbert: Really? Then why have I had a root password since I first setup Ubuntu?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: so what are you roling back exactly?
[21:15] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: good question, how about the kernel for starters
[21:15] <newb> I want to to know where the files of the c lib are kept in the ubuntu file system
[21:15] <guntbert> aidan_follestad: manybe because you have no genuine ubuntu system - something like a hosted server?
[21:15] <aDefaultUser> can anyone help with running turntable.fm in Firefox on Ubuntu desk 10.4?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> DroidFreak: run; sudo -i    type your password then change your pwd to the one you were previously in as user and rerun the compile
[21:15] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: how can i find out what up upgraded 2 days ago via Synaptic?
[21:15] <szal> newb: for what purpose?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: /var/log/dpkg.log   should say
[21:16] <savid> Hi, I have a couple of indicator applet scripts that I'd like to have start up automatically.  I've put it in my startup apps, but it doesn't seem to work.   My guess is that it runs before the indicator panel itself has started.  Is there a way to do dependencies in startup apps?  Or maybe some kind of delay?
[21:16] <DroidFreak> thanks
[21:16] <newb> to view them, to see how there written
[21:16] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: ill take a look, so basically all that, in dpgk.log
[21:16] <newb> i'm trying to make a soduko game in c++
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: it gives a log of un/installs
[21:16] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: as if i never pressed update in Synaptic lol
[21:16] <allowoverride> k
[21:16] <galamar> ActionParsnip, okay the joymouse command works on my computer but when I "sudo dpkg -r joymouse" its says not installed..... is there someother way I need to remove it, like if I built it from source or something?
[21:17] <ActionParsnip> galamar: not sure there dude, if you built from source then redownload the source and read the uninstallation instructions
[21:17] <exutux> guntbert: or he has installed from a minimal or alternate install by esxpert mode...it says if you want set root passord there
[21:17] <exutux> expert*
[21:18] <guntbert> exutux: I've never seen that
[21:18] <Defectz> ActionParsnip: so for that native driver what should i search for
[21:18] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: interesting.... check this out,,, 2011-07-15 12:50:47 status half-installed firefox-branding 3.6.18+build2+nobinonly-0ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>
[21:18] <rhin01> dell laptop m5010 -- ubuntu 11.04 -- having problem with cursor freezing (and nothing else) -- anyone know?
[21:18] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: lol half-installed
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: if you copy the 8 character hex ID and use it in websearches, you'll find guides. They may say it needs ndisgtk or there may be a method to install a native linux driver
[21:19] <claviusmond> is there any carmageddon style game for ubuntu?
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: nice, I'd make apt-get download the deb then force install it, then remove it
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> claviusmond: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=492   runs in wine :)
[21:20] <Defectz> ActionParsnip: what is the 8 charcter hex id
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> claviusmond: platinum rating too (awesome news)
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: e.g.
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0424:2228 Standard Microsystems Corp. 9-in-2 Card Reader
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: 0424:2228 is the hex ID here
[21:20] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: then remove it?
[21:21] <aDefaultUser> exit
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: i would. Then use apt-get to install it gracefully
[21:21] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: so completely remove, autoremove, clean, then apt-get install Firefox
[21:21] <allowoverride> correct?
[21:21] <Ub3r-N00b> hey there, whats the off-topic channel ?
[21:21] <Defectz> ActionParsnip:  were do i check for tht hex id
[21:22] <allowoverride> how about the .mozilla dir? i dont want to gank that, lol...
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: if you still want firefox, yes
[21:22] <allowoverride> hahahah
[21:22] <allowoverride> funn
[21:22] <guntbert> !ot | Ub3r-N00b
[21:22] <szal> !ot | Ub3r-N00b
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> Defectz: it's in teh output of: lsusb    like I said earlier
[21:22] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: ok, ill give it a while,,, lets see what happens
[21:22] <allowoverride> bbiab
[21:22] <ubuntu_____> can someone help me with recovering root.disk? i installed through wubi and can no longer boot kubuntu!
[21:22] <aidan_follestad> Idk if edbian is still working on it, but if anyone else has any idea what issue is causing this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/645010/ please help.
[21:22] <edbian> aidan_follestad: I was...
[21:22] <edbian> in the restroom...
[21:22] <aidan_follestad> Oh haha
[21:23] <cg2916> When I boot my Live USB its days EISA couldn't find any cards
[21:23] <cg2916> says*
[21:24] <edbian> aidan_follestad: Look in /etc/modules.conf
[21:24] <Ub3r-N00b> thanks to whoever answered my question about the off-topic channel but i just re-connected, and i didnt see the answer XD
[21:24] <galamar> Is there a way to list out all the software I installed from source?
[21:24] <Dr_Willis> Ub3r-N00b,  #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:24] <Dr_Willis> galamar,  from Source? No...
[21:24] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: ya know what, i never deinstalled NM, i just disabled it in systray
[21:24] <allowoverride> i wonder....
[21:25] <Ub3r-N00b> Dr_Willis, thanks ...possibly again :D
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: you can add the install CD as a repo and install packages from taht
[21:25] <exutux> aidan_follestad: you can delete entryes in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and reboot...it will recreate right rules and right names
[21:25] <aidan_follestad> edbian: The file contains 2 lines, the first with "lp", the second with "rtc'.
[21:25] <cg2916> Dr_Willis  When I boot my Live USB its says EISA couldn't find any cards
[21:25] <aidan_follestad> exutux: I've tried that once before, but it didn't seem to work. Maybe I should try it again?
[21:25] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: can i do that with flash drive, thats where my installed from. also, i did an upgrade vs flash install as i remember, from 9.10 to 10.10
[21:25] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  and you expect me to do somthing about it? :)
[21:26] <cg2916> Dr_Willis Yup! :)
[21:26] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: isnt everything stored locallly from last install 10.10?
[21:26] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  how old is this machine anyway?
[21:26] <exutux> edbian: but ifconfig what says?
[21:26] <cg2916> Dr_Willis couple months
[21:26] <edbian> aidan_follestad: I didn't even have it were on Debian.  Still researching
[21:26] <cg2916> Just about brand new
[21:26] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  whats the video chipset?
[21:27] <cg2916> Intel HD Graphics 3000, I think built into a Sandy Bridge i3 2310-M
[21:27] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: Thanks. Oh and ifconfig displays eth0, eth2, and lo, but not wlan0. However, I'm still connected to wifi.
[21:27] <pwnus> Hi guys. Whats the ubuntu classroom irc channel
[21:27] <exutux> aidan_follestad: you need to delete alla entries and reboot
[21:27] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  no idea. other then to suggest trying some other live cds.  and  the forumns for that chipset.
[21:27] <pwnus> I thought it was #ubuntu-classes but its empty
[21:28] <aidan_follestad> exutux: Which file?
[21:28] <Dr_Willis> bbl - time to get some f00ds.
[21:28] <aidan_follestad> exutux: Udev?
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: sure, or you can just mount the maverick ISO. No need for extra media then :)
[21:28] <exutux> aidan_follestad: in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
[21:28] <cg2916> Dr_Willis, it's not the live device, the live device work on my other laptop
[21:28] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: ic
[21:28] <edbian> exutux: He says the system changes it back...
[21:28] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: can you give me quick sytnax, i understand, but i dont rmember all the cmds by heart
[21:28] <edbian> aidan_follestad: eth2 is wifi I think
[21:28] <exutux> edbian: isn't possible
[21:28] <allowoverride> once in my history i can find them later
[21:29] <exutux> edbian: impossible
[21:29] <edbian> exutux: tell him that
[21:29] <aidan_follestad> exutux, edbian: okay, I'm gonna try deleting the entries and rebooting, if it doesn't work I'll be back ina  few minutes. Thanks for the help!
[21:29] <exutux> edbian: it has 4 entries seems like for two cards
[21:29] <edbian> aidan_follestad: Back up whats in that file.
[21:29] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: doenst ubuntu have some sort of rescue shell like freebsd or other nix?
[21:29] <edbian> exutux: That is strange I agree
[21:29] <enhanced> wow, good number of ppl in here
[21:29] <exutux> look macaddress
[21:29] <edbian> enhanced: :)
[21:29] <exutux> :p
[21:29] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: Okay, thanks for the help. I'll be back soon if it fails.
[21:29] <edbian> aidan_follestad: sure
[21:29] <cg2916> Is Ubuntu or Windows 7 faster?
[21:30] <sht> does anyone here have any experience with website scaling and linux conntrack module issues? im having trouble pinning down the variables to adjust to increase conntrack limits etc. basically its resulting in my ubuntu box not being able to connect to a remote mysql server
[21:30] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  would depend on the benchmark.
[21:30] <cg2916> Dr_Willis, but overall?
[21:30] <edbian> cg2916: You're in an Ubuntu channel.  Linux is faster :)
[21:30] <Dr_Willis> 'it depends' ......
[21:30] <cg2916> I'm going for the fastest experience
[21:30] <shurane> can someone tell me what the %u in a launcher property (say Firefox or Chromium) means?
[21:30] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  there is no 'overall'  - it just depends..
[21:30] <edbian> cg2916: That is a vague ambiguous measure.
[21:30] <enhanced> ok, I can't get my Gnome printer management (system-config-printer-gnome) under System -> Admin -> Printing to load.. seems like it abends or cores after trying to start up, but nothing in /var/log/messages or anywhere else to indicate that there is a problem.
[21:31] <cg2916> And I heard Xubuntu isn't much faster than Ubuntu
[21:31] <kbrosnan> shurane: url
[21:31] <edbian> shurane: a url  as in firefox http://www.yahoo.com
[21:31] <neverENDnode> !help
[21:31] <Dr_Willis> cg2916,  its all realtive.. if you want the lightest desktop = lubuntu.. if you want the lightest X session - just run a window manager, and no desktop.
[21:31] <edbian> cg2916: It depends on the system.  xfce requires less ram so if you have a system with a small amount of ram it will appear faster.
[21:31] <allowoverride> firefox-gnome-support reinstalled, its working now, not OFFline when i start up FF. i thought something was missing... per that message... half-installed lolol
[21:32] <allowoverride> oh shyt
[21:32] <neverENDnode> !problems with swf in firefox on new ubuntu distro
[21:32] <Dr_Willis> bbl...
[21:32] <allowoverride> nope not fixed
[21:32] <allowoverride> fsck
[21:32] <allowoverride> spoke to soon
[21:32] <neverENDnode> !i need help running flash files in firefox
[21:32] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip:  it worked once, then after closing opening FF same thing, work offline
[21:32] <allowoverride> its a bug
[21:33] <allowoverride> or a setting or good old networkmanager.conf
[21:33] <allowoverride> hanging onto settings
[21:33] <Jordan_U> neverENDnode: Only start a comment with "!" if you're trying to send a command to the channel bot, ubottu.
[21:33] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: thats it, im gonna remove networkmanager. keep wicd see what happens
[21:33] <allowoverride> bbiab
[21:33] <Jordan_U> neverENDnode: Just explain what problem you're having in plain english.
[21:33] <aidan_follestad> Hey guys, it didn't work.
[21:33] <edbian> aidan_follestad: What did you do to the file? What does it look like right now?
[21:33] <enhanced> grr, cups DIAF
[21:34] <Polah> neverENDnode, do you have Flash installed at all?
[21:34] <savid> Does anyone know if it's possible to change docky's default color scheme (ie, the ugly-ass orange glow)
[21:34] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: I cleared the file after copying a backup to my desktop; the file rebuilt itself with 2 entries.
[21:34] <exutux> aidan_follestad: are you sure that you are deleting alla entries?
[21:34] <edbian> aidan_follestad: Can you pastebin it ?
[21:34] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: Yeah, one sec.
[21:35] <edbian> aidan_follestad: I think what it did was look in the file for the interfaces.  If it finds them it follows the file.  If not it creates new entries
[21:36] <Aaron_1> Ok got a little problem here with mdadm, how do i remove a raidarray that can generate a message like this: "/dev/sdd: device 1 in 3 device undetected raid0 /dev/md0.  Use mdadm --examine for more detail." somehow the array is undetected, so how do I remove it?
[21:37] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: http://paste.ubuntu.com/645031/
[21:37] <exutux> aidan_follestad: device names depends on the drivers, i have too my wifi interface called eth1
[21:38] <exutux> aidan_follestad: but isn't a problem
[21:38] <klevison> anyone can help-me with teamviewer?
[21:38] <edbian> aidan_follestad: What are app are you trying to use that needs it to be wlan0 ?
[21:38] <aidan_follestad> exutux: I know, it's KERNEL value in its entry says it's for ethernet even though it successfully creates a wifi connection.
[21:38] <Aaron_1> Do I make any sense here or am i making a wooper of a rookie problem??
[21:38] <aidan_follestad> Everything, including airmon-ng (in the Terminal), wireshark, and ettercap.
[21:38] <klevison> when some one try to access my machine, appears a black screen
[21:38] <sht_> does anyone here have any experience with website scaling and linux conntrack module issues? im having trouble pinning down the variables to adjust to increase conntrack limits etc. basically its resulting in my ubuntu box not being able to connect to a remote mysql server
[21:38] <xibalba_> Hello, Has anyone here setup multiple BOND Groups on Ubuntu 10.04 ?
[21:39] <exutux> aidan_follestad: ahve you tried it now?
[21:39] <edbian> aidan_follestad: Can you do sudo wireshark eth1  ?
[21:39] <exutux> aidan_follestad: I have no problem with that tools and eth1
[21:39] <xibalba_> i'll just repeat the question in a few minutes, text just flies by on this chat room
[21:40] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: Well if I type "sudo airodump-ng eth1", it says "ARP linktype is set to 1 (Ethernet)"
[21:40] <newb> how does the c++ file end .c ?
[21:40] <computa_mike> i have  question. I'm working on a package.  I used to be able to test install it using gdebi, and there was a terminal - but that seems to have dissapeared...I can probably set up a virtual machine with an older version of ubuntu - is there a way to add the terminal back?

[21:41] <xibalba_> Hello, Has anyone here setup multiple BOND Groups on Ubuntu 10.04 ? Please Message me if you have, I need a little assistance and the documentaion doesn't show multiple nic-bonding groups
[21:41] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: It creates an issue because my system expects an assigned IP address from ethernet, not from Wifi (which is should).
[21:41] <exutux> aidan_follestad: you need to use airmon-ng befor...get down your wifi card and restart with airmon-ng it change it in mon0 or something else
[21:41] <edbian> aidan_follestad: Can you explain that more?
[21:41] <edbian> aidan_follestad: I just ran wireshark myself and it does not care what the name of the interface is.
[21:41] <aidan_follestad> exutux: But if I type "airmon-ng" alone, the only interface is displays is eth1.
[21:42] <edbian> aidan_follestad: eth1 is the wifi right?
[21:42] <edbian> Just caused it's called eth1 doesn't make it Ethernet
[21:42] <exutux> aidan_follestad: http://paste.ubuntu.com/645037/
[21:42] <Corey> !volunteer
[21:42] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: But my system thinks it's ethernet
[21:42] <edbian> Corey: ?
[21:43] <edbian> aidan_follestad: You can get online, wireshark works.  What do you mean by 'the system' and why does it matter that 'the system' thinks it's ethernet?
[21:43] <Aaron_1> Ok got a little problem here with mdadm, how do i remove a raidarray that can generate a message like this: "/dev/sdd: device 1 in 3 device undetected raid0 /dev/md0.  Use mdadm --examine for more detail." somehow the array is undetected, so how do I remove it? cat /proc/mdtstar gives me this :Personalities : [linear] [multipath] [raid0] [raid1] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4] [raid10]
[21:43] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: If I use ettercap, it says "no IPv4 address assigned"
[21:43] <Aaron_1> md_d0 : inactive sdd[1](S) sdc[0](S)

[21:43] <FloodBot1> Aaron_1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:43] <edbian> aidan_follestad: Is the wifi connection online?
[21:43] <aidan_follestad> ebdian: Yeah
[21:44] <mosx1> hi, anyone quite familiar with generating RSA key pairs for use with SSH ?
[21:44] <exutux> aidan_follestad: have you seen my pastebin?
[21:44] <aidan_follestad> No
[21:44] <aidan_follestad> Oh I didn't notice it

[21:45] <omegaphi> hi folks I am repairing my ubuntu installation which is installed with wubi. How do i know the disk labe and partition at which it is installed? I am booting from a live CD. Please help :)
[21:45] <mosx1> I'm following these instructions: http://linux-sxs.org/networking/openssh.putty.html
[21:45] <mosx1> and have a Q about step 5
[21:46] <aidan_follestad> Okay guys, I think the issue is that the apps were defaulting to my ethernet interface. I got it working now. Thanks for the help!
[21:46] <edbian> aidan_follestad: sure
[21:46] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: problem solved. ill close my tickets on bug reports. the fix? simple completely remove NetworkManager when switching to wicd. simply disableing still holds the configs even though not enabled, which definitely effect Firefox 3 and Evolution 2.30.3. just a heads up and reminder, if your in irc and someone says remove your .hidden file to fix the issue, that is NOT always the fix, research a little bit, THINK and you will see the answer
[21:46] <mosx1> 5. Copy /home/toylet/.ssh/id_rsa from Linux to Windows.
[21:47] <omegaphi> *reposting* I am repairing my ubuntu installation which is installed with wubi. How do i know the disk labe and partition at which it is installed? I am booting from a live CD. Please help!
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: ive always used wicd, its awesome
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> allowoverride: glad you got the gold
[21:47] <mosx1> From what I can gather id_rsa is the private key right?
[21:47] <allowoverride> obviously and program like email clients or browser have to ask the network client if its up. makes sense.
[21:47] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip:  i used to use wicd but it was buggy, but now it works fine, its a hardware thang...
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> omegaphi: sudo fdisk -l    should help
[21:47] <allowoverride> mileage may vary ;)
[21:48] <allowoverride> ActionParsnip: yah finally, this was driving me nuts lol
[21:48] <allowoverride> thanks for the help
[21:48] <omegaphi> ActionParsnip : I gives a lon o/p, what should I look for?
[21:48] <omegaphi> ActionParsnip : long*
[21:48] <omegaphi> ActionParsnip : It*
[21:48] <xibalba_> Hello, Has anyone here setup multiple BOND Groups on Ubuntu 10.04 ? Please Message me if you have, I need a little assistance and the documentaion doesn't show multiple nic-bonding groups
[21:49] <Jordan_U> !bootinfo | omegaphi
[21:49] <aidan_follestad> Oh I have one more thing guys, I have to go but I already have it posted on the forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11049632#post11049632
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> omegaphi: you will see the disk named and detailed followed by the partitions on the disk, if you read it it's very clear
[21:49] <xibalba_> i guess it's time for the mailing list
[21:50] <xibalba_> this is too much text flying by to get any useful support
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> omegaphi: your wubi wil be instal on an NTFS partition as that's what windows uses
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> xibalba_: this channel has worked for YEARS
[21:50] <rhin01> mouse cursor (nothing else) freezes up on dell m5010 laptop -- with ubuntu 11.04 -- anyone know how to deal?
[21:51] <xibalba_> sorry then, i can't seem to find someone to help me with my issue . been trying for a few days, maybe i have bad ircEttiqute
[21:51] <omegaphi> ActionParsnip : I couldn't understand the letter which comes after sd, I am not sure if it should be a or b
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> xibalba_: what is your issue?
[21:51] <ice799> Hi. I've created a debian package and installed it on my Ubuntu system. It comes with an init.d script which uses start-stop-daemon, but doesn't use the -b switch (as the application daemonises itself). If I use the init.d script to start or restart the service and I log out, the service runs in the background as expected.
[21:51] <ice799> HOWEVER
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> omegaphi: then try mounting a partition and see what is on it
[21:52] <ice799> when I install the deb, the postinst script tries to start the service so that it is running when installation finishes. This causes apt to hang forever waiting for the app to exit.
[21:52] <ice799> Why does this happen?
[21:52] <omegaphi> ActionParsnip : I did, but I couldn't find the root.disk file in it. While this file is visible from windows
[21:52] <xibalba_> ActionParsnip, I have 4 nics in my server. I want to create 2 fail over BOND groups for LAN and WAN. My 2nd BOND group does not show up, only BOND0 shows up, and BOND0 doesn't have the correct settings set , its using RR mode when I specified fail-over, mode 1
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> omegaphi: then it's not in that partition. Do you have multiple physical drives in the system?
[21:53] <omegaphi> ActionParsnip : yes
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> xibalba_: never done stuff like that dude. I can't help but keep asing occasionally. Or post on the ubuntu forum
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> omegaphi: then mount those too, see if you can find the file
[21:53] <omegaphi> ActionParsnip : ok
[21:54] <xibalba_> ActionParsnip , the forums is a good idea. gonna try the mailing list too.
[21:55] <xibalba_> ActionParsnip , setting up new voip servers, want them to be fully fault tolerant, thats why i need all the bond groups
[21:55] <xibalba_> in case of the slim chance of the switch dying
[21:57] <raginkestrel> Does anyone know if there is a keyboard shortcut to lock the screen in xscreensaver?
[21:57] <Ceo> Hello everybody
[21:58] <Ceo> Is there anybody that can help me with a thing about ubuntu?
[21:58] <Miram> I really doubt I can, but you should post your question
[21:58] <Miram> Somebody will se it
[21:58] <Miram> see*
[21:58] <raginkestrel> Hello.  I have tried for two days to get someone talking, but no joy :-(
[21:59] <Ceo> Relax, its not hard, i just have no time to read ubuntu docs
[21:59] <Ceo> Ok, here goes:
[22:00] <victorious> Ceo: At least in 11.04, you can press ctrl+alt+L to lock the screen
[22:00] <Ceo> Fedora has a config like "groupremove_leaf_only=1" which provides some verifications before removing any software.
[22:00] <victorious> oops, sorry, that was ment for raginkestrel
[22:00] <Ceo> Is there anything similar on ubuntu?!
[22:02] <Ceo> This "groupremove_leaf_only=1" just let you remove a software if it has no dependencies on the system.
[22:02] <ActionParsnip> Ceo: if you use apt-get you will need to use your password to authenticate as well as be in the admin group. You will then be shown what is going to be removed etc and you will need to additionally say YES to go ahead with the uninstall
[22:02] <Chillance> ok, so, Im trying to start a vnc session so it uses the nvidia drivers in the ~/.vnc/xstartup script, but unable to do it.. how should I do it?
[22:03] <Ceo> Yes, but if I remove a program and it has a dependency active, it can crash the system...
[22:03] <Ceo> isn't it?
[22:04] <xibalba_> lol @ ceo
[22:04] <xibalba_> what a name
[22:04] <raginkestrel> victorious: thank you!
[22:05] <victorious> raginkestrel: You're welcome!
[22:06] <ortsvorsteher> victorious, do you know more of this shortcouts?
[22:07] <raginkestrel> victorious: tried it and it doesn't work.  Tried ctrl+alt+delete and got it to work!
[22:07] <enhanced> Starting Printing.. oh no you aren't pig
[22:11] <raginkestrel> ortvorsteher: if you go to Applications>Settings>Settings Manager>Keyboards>Application Shortcuts you will find a list of shortcuts
[22:11] <raginkestrel> You can also create your own
[22:11] <ortsvorsteher> raginkestrel, thank you, i just found it :)
[22:11] <garymc> anyone tell me how to unzip a file that wont unzip?
[22:11] <raginkestrel> You're welcome!
[22:12] <Ceo> Ok, thank you so much guys!

[22:20] <rhin0> ActionParsnip: I login with classic view (no effects) and the problem still exists --- how do you disable compiz completely -- I recall that compiz is not disabled when you select classic view no effects on 11.04
[22:20] <rhin0> or check its running
[22:20] <tessellated> greatpopcorn: what ubuntu are you using? have you tried rebooting into save mode?

[22:26] <tessellated> greatpopcorn: IIRC, there should be a menu, right after switching on, try to follow the steps...
[22:27] <vluther_> i have a clean install of ubuntu 11.04 .. but when i try apt-cache search nginx or varnish
[22:27] <greatpopcorn> tessellated: i get an ibm thinkpad screen, then the console with no response to the kepboard, and then the ubuntu screen.
[22:27] <vluther_> i guess my /etc/apt/sources.list is misconfigured
[22:27] <tobiassjosten> Does anyone know how to get rid of the invisible 1px column that the Unity launcher leaves after it when it's hidden? When I hover it I can't scroll like normal because Unity seems to eat my signal.
[22:27] <edbian> vluther_: sudo apt-get update  first
[22:27] <cyperbg> guys, I'm getting a black screen after boot
[22:28] <vluther_> edbian: i've done that already.. sources.list only has: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty main
[22:28] <edbian> vluther_: What is the problem exactly?  Packages are missing?
[22:28] <vluther_> edbian: no, i want to install nginx
[22:28] <enhanced> printer problem fixed
[22:28] <vluther_> apt-get install nginx is not giving me anything
[22:28] <edbian> vluther_: sudo apt-get install nginx does what?
[22:28] <mrk> Hi everyone, Ok i dont know if this is possible but i want to make my second harddrive (which ubuntu currently does not see) an extention of my first hard drive. is that possible?
[22:28] <enhanced> multiple versions of python
[22:28] <edbian> vluther_: What does it do?
[22:28] <enhanced> DIAF stackless python
[22:29] <edbian> mrk: No, but you can partition it and use it as storage space by mounting it in a folder.
[22:29] <Amartolos> hey
[22:29] <vluther_> Package nginx is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[22:29] <vluther_> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[22:29] <vluther_> is only available from another source
[22:29] <vluther_> E: Package 'nginx' has no installation candidate
[22:29] <mrk> edbian alright how can i do that
[22:29] <Amartolos> i just installed windows on a second partition. how can i renenable grub and ubuntu in boot?
[22:29] <edbian> vluther_: apt-get install nginx-full
[22:30] <edbian> mrk: First install and use gparted to format it.
[22:30] <edbian> mrk: Can you do that :)
[22:30] <vluther_> edbian: can't find that package either
[22:30] <edbian> vluther_: It's in the universe repo.  Enable it in syanptic.
[22:30] <mrk> edbian alright that sounds great thanks
[22:30] <edbian> synaptic*
[22:30] <edbian> mrk: sure
[22:30] <tessellated> greatpopcorn: on the ubuntu screen, does it not give you a choice to select some boot options?
[22:31] <vluther_> edbian: it's a server at slicehost, no synaptic, ssh access only
[22:31] <ortsvorsteher> Amartolos, is the second partition on the same hard drive where the ubuntu installation is? and, if it is so, did you first install linux and then windows?
[22:31] <kirbygibner> what channel can i go to to get help on tablet
[22:31] <subanomic> hi
[22:31] <greatpopcorn> tessellated: no, it is a picture of a man=keyboard
[22:31] <edbian> vluther_: Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list  ?  (you were right!!)
[22:31] <subanomic> on a more or less fresh ubuntu server 11.04, lsmod says that /proc/modules doesn't exist
[22:31] <rhin0> anyone know if I can detect if compiz is running from the command line
[22:31] <subanomic> is that normal? doesn't the default kernel have loadable module support?
[22:31] <vluther_> edbian: no need to pastebin it, it's one line :) deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty main
[22:32] <vluther_> i thought it was a provisioning error, so i provisioned a clean box
[22:32] <vluther_> both boxes
[22:32] <edbian> vluther_: add restricted to the end of that line
[22:32] <tessellated> greatpopcorn: sorry, I seem to lack experience in this case then.
[22:32] <Emma> where is my Thunderbird mail client installed?
[22:32] <edbian> vluther_: whoops
[22:33] <edbian> vluther_: I was wrong: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine   look at adding repos.  It says you can just add universe ?  I'm not sure.  Read that doc
[22:33] <Amartolos> ortsvorsteher: yes i had first ubuntu, installed windows on the same hdd 2nd partition. now i have loaded ubuntu livecd (though its the previous of natty version)
[22:33] <greatpopcorn> tessellated:should i find someone else?
[22:33] <vluther_> edbian: thanks looking
[22:33] <astraljava> rhin0: I have no idea what the compiz binary is called, in fact, but try `ps -ef | grep compiz` ?
[22:33] <rhin0> ty
[22:33]  * rhin0 raw panic
[22:33] <ActionParsnip> subanomic: yes the kernel can have modules loaded and unloaded
[22:34] <ortsvorsteher> Amartolos, as far as i know, windows needs block zero on hard drive to be able to boot. now i am not sure that you have destroyed your ubuntu installation by installing windows.
[22:34] <edbian> vluther_: sure
[22:34] <subanomic> ActionParsnip: then why does it say /proc/modules doesn't exist? is that normal?
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> subanomic: what is the exact error you get when you run: lsmod    please
[22:34] <Amartolos> ortsvorsteher: i dont think this is the case, i have done the same thing again in the past
[22:34] <Amartolos> ortsvorsteher: install linux then windows and just restore grub
[22:35] <ortsvorsteher> Amartolos, ah okay, let me just find the link from ubottu for you...
[22:35] <subanomic> "Opening /proc/modules: No such file or directory
[22:35] <ortsvorsteher> !grub | Amartolos
[22:35] <adrian15> Amartolos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[22:35] <Dr_Willis> ive set up grub on a flash drive just in case windows overwrites it
[22:35] <vluther_> edbian:  i assume, i change hardy to natty?
[22:35] <edbian> vluther_: yes of course
[22:35] <mhahe> ActionParsnip, W: Failed to fetch http://oss.oracle.com/debian/dists/unstable/Release  Unable to find expected entry  main/binary-amd64/Packages in Meta-index file (malformed Release file?)
[22:35] <mhahe> E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[22:36] <mhahe> ActionParsnip, still getting same kind of problem
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> mhahe: then the ppa doesn't suport natty
[22:36] <sweetandy> I'm having an issue on the Live USB Ubuntu with my encrypted 1TB external hard drive. cryptsetup allows me to enter the password and decrypt it, but it is inaccessible in the GUI; I must use the terminal as root to browse the contents. Is this an issue with the user not being "sweetandy" or what?
[22:36] <greatpopcorn> i need help! will someone help me with booting ubuntu
[22:36] <Dr_Willis> isent there some fixgrub feature on the livecd?
[22:36] <mhahe> ActionParsnip, suggestions? im newb at this stuff
[22:36] <Amartolos> ortsvorsteher: what is the previous of natty?
[22:37] <vluther_> edbian: yay
[22:37] <billy2007> how do i request an invite to a channel
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> subanomic: is it a custom kernel?
[22:37] <edbian> vluther_: yay? :D
[22:37] <Dr_Willis> sweetandy:  it wiuld need proper permissiins and ownership to allow ither users.
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> mhahe: remove the ppa
[22:37] <vluther_> apt-cache nginx doesn't look at me like i'm insane anymore
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> billy2007: you don't just get registered and identified and you can enter at will
[22:37] <subanomic> ActionParsnip: i just realised that the ubuntu server image that came from my hoster is not the default ubuntu server image
[22:37] <subanomic> it's a grsecurity kernel
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> subanomic: if you run:  mount    is proc mounted
[22:38] <sweetandy> Dr_Willis, and I can do that with a recursive chown on the contents of the drive after installing ubuntu?
[22:38] <ortsvorsteher> Amartolos, maverick i think
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> subanomic: you should see: proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[22:38] <mhahe> ActionParsnip, which config file do i edit for that?
[22:38] <cyperbg> guys: I have boot problems - most attempts fail with such a screen: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/267/img20100926103608.jpg/ and now it says hd0 read error - grub rescue. I use a flash drive, so is it possible that the flash drive failed after 2 weeks of uptime?
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> mhahe: you can do it in software centre
[22:38] <subanomic> ActionParsnip: it says none on /proc type proc (rw, noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[22:38] <Dr_Willis> sweetandy:  yep. should work
[22:38] <sweetandy> Dr_Willis, Awesome! I guess I will be wiping my computer and installing Ubuntu 11.04 today.
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: boot to liveCD and fsck the partition
[22:39] <billy2007> ActionParsnip, i am its saying its invite only i want to know how to get chanserv to join my channel
[22:39] <greatpopcorn> Dr
[22:39] <ActionParsnip> billy2007: it means you need to be identified
[22:39] <no-name-> is there a programme that will show different lines in different colours depending on what words they have in them? e.g. colour lines that contain <user1> blue and <user2> red?
[22:39] <mecheese> ok. I know that if I install the driver for nvidia my monitor will mess up. how can I get it to install with out messing it up?
[22:39] <subanomic> oh, and it has relatime, if that's any important
[22:39] <mhahe> ActionParsnip, thanks that did the trick... but if i were to do this through terminal. which config file would it be and where would i find it?
[22:39] <greatpopcorn> Dr_Willis:can you please help me?
[22:40] <[1]Snicers-Work> How do I
[22:40] <[1]Snicers-Work> System	Linux linuxdev2 <IP_ADDRESS>-69.fc13.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue May 3 09:13:56 UTC 2011 i686

[22:40] <[1]Snicers-Work> Configure Command
[22:40] <cyperbg> ActionParsnip I will try that and report back
[22:40] <FloodBot1> [1]Snicers-Work: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:40] <[1]Snicers-Work> whoops
[22:40] <Dr_Willis> greatpopcorn: it depends on the issue
[22:40] <ikonia> [1]Snicers-Work: you know that's not an ubuntu system ?
[22:40] <greatpopcorn> Dr_Willis: I am getting an Authentication Failure
[22:40] <[1]Snicers-Work> how do I change the configure command on php that has been installed by aptitude?
[22:41] <[1]Snicers-Work> yeah, that is on a fedora server.
[22:41] <adrian15> !grub2 | greatpopcorn
[22:41] <ikonia> [1]Snicers-Work: so ask in #fedora
[22:41] <[1]Snicers-Work> ikonia, that wasn't meant to be pasted, I have multiple linux servers. I am in fact asking about Ubuntu.
[22:42] <cyperbg> ActionParsnip does fsck have GUI or is it a command line tool?
[22:42] <cyperbg> can you give me the exact command
[22:42] <ikonia> [1]Snicers-Work: you can't change compiled binaries
[22:42] <Dr_Willis> !fsck
[22:43] <jeremy__> When I try to install aircrack-ng, i got a error, why?
[22:43] <[1]Snicers-Work> ikonia, I downloaded the PHP source and recompiled, I just don't know where to point the prefix or how to change it so apache recognizses a different install folder for PHP.
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: its a cli command, its like chkdsk in windows
[22:43] <ikonia> jeremy__: what error
[22:43] <ikonia> [1]Snicers-Work: that's custom software ask in ##php
[22:43] <greatpopcorn> Dr_Willis:are you there?
[22:44] <Dr_Willis> greatpopcorn: yes. for a few more min
[22:44] <greatpopcorn> Dr_Willis:ok
[22:44] <jeremy__> ikonia: E: Invalid operation aircrack-ng (my command is: sudo apt-get aircrack-ng)
[22:44] <ikonia> jeremy__: apt-get install aircrack-ng
[22:44] <mecheese> i'll wait patiently for any one that will help me with my graphics if you know how to help.
[22:44] <ikonia> jeremy__: you missed "install"
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> !info aircrack-ng
[22:44] <jeremy__> ikonia: DEUH!! -_-' shame on me, thanks :)
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> jeremy__: be sure to have the universe repo enabled
[22:45] <edbian> mecheese: Have you tried the nomodeset kernel option?
[22:45] <byron> mechese what is the issue?
[22:45] <mecheese> edbian what does that fix? and where do I set that?
[22:45] <adrian15> cyperbg: Rescatux has a gui for fsck but I do not know it is worth in your problem. You might identify your device by running mount before and after plugging it in so that ActionParsnip can tell you a command.
[22:46] <edbian> mecheese: Let me get this straight.  You have some nvidia card and if you install one of the nvidia drivers when you boot you get a black screen?
[22:46] <edbian> mecheese: Is that right?
[22:46] <mecheese> byron what edbian said
[22:46] <mecheese> edbian yes
[22:46] <byron> mechese what version ubuntu?
[22:46] <edbian> mecheese: Then turn on the nomodeset option.  It fixes everything.    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132
[22:46] <[1]Snicers-Work> My ubuntu 11.04 screen flickers and goes black in sections when I am in GDM.
[22:47] <Dr_Willis> fixes some things at least
[22:47] <edbian> mecheese: That is a guide on how to set kernel options.  You wanna follow the bit titled 'how to temporarily set kernel boot options on installed OS (not wubi) in the first post.
[22:47] <mecheese> edbian should that work with lucid
[22:47] <edbian> Dr_Willis: No, it fixes all things
[22:47] <edbian> mecheese: Yeah
[22:47] <Dr_Willis> !nomodeset
[22:47] <edbian> mecheese: I'm not sure.  It is very likely to work though.
[22:48] <edbian> Dr_Willis: I already gave that link!
[22:48] <Dr_Willis> edbian:  i need nomodeset to install. but not once i get the nvidia drivers installed
[22:48] <byron> Mecheese are you using restricted driver?
[22:48] <edbian> Dr_Willis: mmm, curious
[22:48] <zelozelos> what do i do with this   "The following packages have unmet dependencies:  astromenace: Depends: libopenal0a but it is not installable E: Broken packages"
[22:49] <jeremy__> ok I think all work thank you :D
[22:49] <Dr_Willis> nomodeset i think limited my res settings also
[22:49] <edbian> zelozelos: Fix your broken packages: sudo apt-get install -f
[22:49] <byron> zelozelos find what repository the library is in and add
[22:50] <Dr_Willis> !find openal0a
[22:50] <cyperbg> ActionParsnip it listed a lot of lines about multiplly blocks and then at the end said something about inconsistency and told me to run it manually
[22:50] <cyperbg> what do I do?
[22:50] <mecheese> byron yes
[22:50] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: but you did run it manually didn't you? in a terminal?
[22:51] <cyperbg> yes
[22:51] <zelozelos> now i get this   sudo apt-get install -f
[22:51] <zelozelos> Reading package lists... Done
[22:51] <zelozelos> Building dependency tree
[22:51] <zelozelos> Reading state information... Done
[22:51] <zelozelos> The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
[22:51] <FloodBot1> zelozelos: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:51] <zelozelos>   libavutil49 libftgl2 gettext cvs libunistring0 libavdevice52
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: not sure then the data is corrupted in some way
[22:51] <cyperbg> I did sudo e2fsck -fpC 0 /dev/sdb1
[22:51] <mecheese> edbian is this the line I should edit: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset"
[22:51] <cyperbg> how do I fix it?
[22:51] <ciss> hi, is there a way to force a file owner for created files? that is, a group member creates a file and the uid will be changed instantly?
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg: like I said. I'm not sure. Maybe others can advise
[22:51] <cyperbg> thank you
[22:51] <rhin0> ActionParsnip: reasonably sure its to do with compiz -- can't get in now to find out -- desktop freezing -- problem didn't exist on laptop and 10.04 -- only 11.04 -- am going to xubuntu /xfce
[22:51] <cyperbg> anyone, how can I fix a bad file system?
[22:51] <edbian> mecheese: Yes.  You're needs to look like that (ending in nomodeset)
[22:52] <ikonia> cyperbg: what's the issue with it ?
[22:52] <mecheese> edbian should I do that before the driver install?
[22:52] <Dr_Willis> cyperbg:  live cd and fsck is what i do
[22:52] <edbian> mecheese: That comes after the driver is installed.  If you do it before it likely won't break anything.
[22:52] <Jordan_U> cyperbg: This sounds like bad hardware to me.
[22:52] <cyperbg> ikonia: after several attemps to install Ubuntu 11.04 32bit I always get some weird boot problems mainly this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/267/img20100926103608.jpg/
[22:53] <ciss> alternatively, can a user be masked as a different user after ssh login?
[22:53] <cyperbg> the last time I got hd0 error. Grub error or something
[22:53] <cyperbg> could it be that the usb flash drive I used got corrupted by too many reads/writes?
[22:53] <Jordan_U> cyperbg: I'd say that's the most likely explanation.
[22:54] <cyperbg> how long should a flash drive be expected to last as a boot drive?
[22:54] <ikonia> cyperbg: boot from a livecd and try to mount it, see if it's actually ok
[22:54] <cyperbg> it's been only 2 weeks
[22:54] <mecheese> edbian if I remember right I need to reboot after the driver install to get it to work. so I can just do the file edit for nomodeset right before the reboot?
[22:54] <Jordan_U> cyperbg: It varies wildly depending on the drive.
[22:54] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:can you help me?
[22:54] <edbian> mecheese: Sure. The nomodeset makes it so that you don't get a black screen with that driver.
[22:54] <cyperbg> ikonia I just did that: it was mounted automatically, I unmounted it and ran sudo e2fsck -fpC 0 /dev/sdb1
[22:54] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: I don't know, what's the isue
[22:54] <mecheese> edbian thank you. I will go try it now.
[22:54] <ikonia> cyperbg: what was the output ?
[22:55] <edbian> mecheese: great :D
[22:55] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:i am getting an authentication failure
[22:55] <cyperbg> it listed many multiply blocks and said something about inconsistency at the end
[22:55] <Giovannirulez2> ok i have a problem with audio can any1 help
[22:55] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: doing what ?
[22:55] <cyperbg> and it told me to run fsck manually
[22:55] <Giovannirulez2> i hear nothing form my speakers
[22:55] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:booting
[22:55] <ikonia> cyperbg: pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb" please
[22:55] <cyperbg> ok one moment
[22:55] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: so it won't boot ?
[22:55] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:yes
[22:56] <Jordan_U> ikonia: Did you mean "sudo fdisk -lu"?
[22:56] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: what point does it stop ?
[22:56] <ikonia> Jordan_U: no
[22:56] <cyperbg> ikonia sudo fdisk /dev/sdb or sudo fdisk /dev/sdb1
[22:56] <mrk> edbian you told me to use gparted  to mount my second hard drive, i formatted it but there is no mount option can you please help
[22:56] <greatpopcorn> ubuntu screen with four dots
[22:56] <Giovannirulez2> can someone plz help me ?
[22:56] <ikonia> cyperbg: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb
[22:56] <Giovannirulez2> i cant get my speakers to work
[22:56] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: has it ever worked ?
[22:56] <edbian> mrk: gparted does not do the mounting for that we use the mount command (we can automate it using /etc/fstab).  Wanna mount your partition now?  sudo mount /dev/sdX1 /mnt/   (replace the X of course)
[22:56] <test123abc1>  Chat Logging has been [Enabled]
[22:56] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:no
[22:56] <edbian> mrk: What format did you make the partition?  ext4 ?
[22:57] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: where does the error message come up ?
[22:57] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:in a black console with 5 other authentication failure
[22:58] <cyperbg> ikonia http://paste.ubuntu.com/645074/
[22:58] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: where does that console appear ? you said you had 4 dots on screen
[22:58] <cyperbg> for the previous command + what you told me at the end
[22:58] <mrk> edbian no its ext 2 should it be 4?
[22:58] <biami> how do I set up to start programming openGL using C in Ubuntu?
[22:58] <edbian> mrk: Well ext2 is old.  ext4 performs better.  It's not a huge deal though.
[22:58] <edbian> mrk: If you're gonna reformat do it before you fill the drive.
[22:59] <ikonia> cyperbg: you have overlapping partitions
[22:59] <mrk> edbian alright great ill change it now thanks for everything
[22:59] <ikonia> cyperbg: that's why it will never work, your partitions are totally messed up
[22:59] <edbian> mrk: sure
[22:59] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:no longer. there is the words ubuntu 11.04 then four dots, then 2 minutes later my screen becomes completely black and the middle of the screen becomes the terminal
[22:59] <cyperbg> ikonia why does this happen and can I fix it?
[22:59] <ikonia> cyperbg: it happened due to how the partitions where made, to fix it you'll need to repartition
[23:00] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: have you tried a re-install ?
[23:00] <rhin0> i'm beginning to distrust chrome on ubuntu I think I get malware or something through it
[23:00] <cyperbg> I ususally just select: Delete 11.04 and install Ubuntu again
[23:00] <Jordan_U> Odd, Ubiquity shouldn't have been able to install at all to a disk with overlapping partitions.
[23:00] <rhin0> ditching it -- stick with firefox -- won't take any chances
[23:00] <ikonia> cyperbg: look at the end of sdb1 "742" and the start of sdb2 "742"
[23:00] <cyperbg> ikonia is there a partidion tool in the Live CD?
[23:00] <ikonia> cyperbg: gparted
[23:00] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:i am trying to boot from a live CD with no previous installation with the exception of windows 2000.
[23:01] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: ah, so this is the livecd not an install
[23:01] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:yes
[23:01] <szal> greatpopcorn: W2k is dead
[23:01] <cyperbg> ikonia: so how do I partition the drive? Will that save me from yet another installation?
[23:01] <cyperbg> because usually during installation the installer creates 3 partitions I think
[23:01] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: well, that explains a little in that the live cd trys to auto login, so that explains why you don't get anywhere if there is an authentication issue
[23:01] <nocilis> can burn one livecd to boot any bootable flash drive?
[23:02] <ikonia> cyperbg: you'll need to do an re-install after you've fixed the partition table
[23:02] <nocilis> *can I burn one livecd to boot any bootable flash drive?
[23:02] <x_-_x> nocilis, you sure can
[23:02] <nocilis> through plop?
[23:02] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:never booted ubuntu on this computer before
[23:02] <cyperbg> ikonia that is fine. Then I guess the safest thing to do is delete all partitions and then let the installer create what it needs?
[23:02] <ikonia> cyperbg: probbly, but pay attention to what it says on screen
[23:02] <nocilis> how, x_-_x?
[23:02] <cyperbg> I will report back
[23:03] <cyperbg> ikonia, do you have a better suggestion?
[23:03] <x_-_x> with livecd usb creator  or unetbootin
[23:03] <ikonia> cyperbg: no, that's why I said it's probably the best option
[23:03] <cyperbg> thank you
[23:03] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:well, once before but i got to the same screen that said kernel panic
[23:03] <nocilis> kk
[23:04] <nocilis> thx X_-_X
[23:04] <x_-_x> nocilis, are you on windows or linux?
[23:04] <nocilis> linux :D
[23:04] <x_-_x> nocilis, no worries
[23:04] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: that's a different issue
[23:04] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:ok
[23:05] <cyperbg> ikonia, can you just confirm that after so many installations the installer does not delete all partitions but just uses them and this creates the problem?#
[23:05] <cyperbg> I just wnat to fint the reason behind the problem
[23:05] <ikonia> cyperbg: the installer will do what you tell it to, hence why I told you to pay attention to what it's telling you and what it's asking you
[23:06] <nocilis> umm I have some choices here X_-_X
[23:06] <Giovannirulez2> can someone help me
[23:06] <edbian> Giovannirulez2: with what?
[23:07] <Giovannirulez2> speaker issues
[23:07] <x_-_x> nocilis, between distros?
[23:07] <cyperbg> ikonia: the installer presents with with these options: either I use the advanced partition tool to create what I want or let it automatically use the whole usb drive and do its magic, which ends in disaster
[23:07] <nocilis> yeah
[23:07] <nocilis> is there an iso for this thing?
[23:07] <ikonia> cyperbg: ok, so select manual
[23:07] <nocilis> sort of thing
[23:07] <no-name-> how to recover files deleted with rm ?
[23:07] <x_-_x> nocilis, what are you looking at?
[23:08] <nocilis> unetbootin
[23:08] <szal> cyperbg: using a flash drive as OS partition is not particularly clever..  I once had a live USB system that started disintegrating at the 2nd boot already; imho, USB boot from flash drive is definitely not error-proof
[23:08] <nocilis> first, do I pick distribution, diskimage, or custom?
[23:08] <mosx1> hi, I'm using gadmin-proftpd. I create a user and want to then log in remotely over ssh as that account. I get Access Denied. How come ?
[23:09] <ActionParsnip> mosx1: did you set the password?
[23:09] <x_-_x> nocilis, I like to download the iso my self and use the custom option.Then I know I have what I want.
[23:09] <nocilis> yes, I usually do that too
[23:09] <nocilis> but what iso do you suggest?
[23:10] <cyperbg> ikonia, I'm a linux newbie so I don't know how many partitions to create so I don't select manual
[23:10] <edbian> cyperbg: You only NEED 2?  / and /swap
[23:10] <edbian> (ignore that question mark)
[23:10] <ikonia> cyperbg: 2 - one for / and one for swap
[23:10] <ikonia> cyperbg: you can then use that to learn
[23:10] <cyperbg> so 3 in total?
[23:10] <ikonia> cyperbg: no, 2 in total
[23:10] <edbian> cyperbg: no, 2 total
[23:10] <x_-_x> nocilis,  What distro?
[23:10] <ikonia> cyperbg: one for / and one for swap, that = 2
[23:10] <nocilis> a bios on another computer is old and cannot boot from liveUSB, yet I don't want to have to burn a cd each time
[23:10] <mosx1> ActionParsnip: yes
[23:10] <szal> cyperbg: rule of thumb -> 10-15 GB for /, (installed RAM * 1.5) GB for swap, rest for /home
[23:10] <nocilis> that is my problem
[23:10] <cyperbg> cause I have 3 currently and can't delete 2 of them. Gparted shows keys icons next to them
[23:10] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:i have been on this chat channel for hours and nobody can fix my system. I just want to install ubuntu.
[23:11] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: have you tried the alternative install cd ?
[23:11] <cyperbg> ikonia, this is a bitcoin mining rig, so it works 24/7
[23:11] <szal> cyperbg: are you executing gparted from within the system you want to modify?
[23:11] <edbian> cyperbg: YOu cannot delete partitions that are mounted.
[23:11] <nocilis> I can burn isos just fine x_-_x
[23:11] <ikonia> cyperbg: clearly it doesn't work 24x7
[23:11] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:no
[23:11] <x_-_x> nocilis, if you can't flash the bios your stuck with cd's
[23:11] <edbian> cyperbg: If you want to you can use gparted.  That is like, erasing all your data though.
[23:11] <mosx1> not sure if users are created just in the ftpd realm or if they are genuine linux accounts though.
[23:11] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: that's worth a try then, it's on the ubuntu.com website
[23:11] <a7i3n> I just noticed a huge difference in GPU temprature from switching to the fglrx driver. It was idling at 63 degrees C and now is at 45 degrees C.
[23:11] <cyperbg> edbian, I open DIsk Editor and it says there they are unmounted
[23:11] <nocilis> kk x_-_x well thanks for your help
[23:12] <ikonia> cyperbg: are you running from a livecd now ?
[23:12] <edbian> cyperbg: the key in gparted means they are mounted.
[23:12] <x_-_x> nocilis, your welcome
[23:12] <cyperbg> edbian I have no data to keep - no worries to erase everythng
[23:12] <cyperbg> ikonia, yes live CD
[23:12] <ikonia> cyperbg: type these commands
[23:12] <ikonia> cyperbg: sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
[23:12] <edbian> cyperbg: right click them in gparted to unmount them
[23:12] <ikonia> cyperbg: say when done
[23:12] <greatpopcorn> ikonia: can it install onto a separate external hard drive?
[23:12] <cyperbg> ok let's try :)
[23:12] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: yes
[23:13] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:ill give it a shot.
[23:17] <cyperbg> ikonia, btw I have this: http://www.diskdepot.co.uk/acatalog/emtec_4gb.jpg It's like a usb flash drive, but with a mini hard disk inside. Maybe I should use that instead of the flash drive?
[23:17] <mecheese> hi I just did nomodeset for the kernel and my sreen still went black
[23:17] <edbian> mecheese: Oh no :(
[23:17] <ikonia> cyperbg: you should do what we agreed
[23:17] <exutux> !broadcom
[23:17] <mecheese> edbian ya it's sad
[23:17] <edbian> exutux: ?
[23:18] <cyperbg> ikonia I will, I meants use it as it's not a flash drive in the sense of having a hard disk inside
[23:18] <ikonia> cyperbg: what difference will that make ?
[23:18] <mecheese> edbian what's the link again so I can check if I missed something?

[23:19] <ronqbc> is it a bad idea to make a search in a windows drive from ubu?
[23:19] <ar71k> ronqbc: search the files?
[23:19] <Dr_Willis> cyperbg:  ikonia  ive seen that kind of usb drive ages ago. nevervwas able to get one to boot a live install
[23:19] <exutux> edbian: was for me
[23:19] <edbian> exutux: :)
[23:20] <cyperbg> ikonia: the flash drive uses memoery cells as far as I am aware, which tend to have fewer read/write cycles
[23:20] <cyperbg> on the other hand hard drives don't have that problem
[23:20] <exutux> sorry forgot to query bot :)
[23:20] <Gh0Sty2k> whats the command to install an application with sudo from terminal if i have downloaded it as it wont install when i double click
[23:20] <ikonia> cyperbg: the problem is your partitions overlap - why do you need to change hard disks to resolve that ?
[23:20] <ikonia> cyperbg: I've told you what to do to resolve it
[23:20] <ikonia> Gh0Sty2k: what are you trying to install
[23:20] <edbian> Gh0Sty2k: sudo dpkg -i /path/to/donwloaded/file
[23:20] <cyperbg> because I thought using a usb flash drive to boot Ubuntu from is a problem
[23:20] <Gh0Sty2k> cross over games trial
[23:21] <cyperbg> that's what one guy said abov
[23:21] <ikonia> sheesh
[23:21] <ikonia> if you want to play windows games - use windows
[23:21] <Dr_Willis> ;)
[23:21] <Gh0Sty2k> its not the question i asked so thats not the answer im interested in.
[23:21] <Dr_Willis> gh0
[23:22] <Gh0Sty2k> i have windows, i use windows, i want to play with linux and see what you can do with it...
[23:22] <ikonia> Gh0Sty2k: ok - then I'll give you a real answer
[23:22] <Dr_Willis> Gh0Sty2k:  whats the exact filename
 cyperbg: using a flash drive as OS partition is not particularly clever..  I once had a live USB system that started disintegrating at the 2nd boot already; imho, USB boot from flash drive is definitely not error-proof
[23:22] <Gh0Sty2k> crossover-games-demo_10.1.0-1_i386.deb
[23:22] <ikonia> Gh0Sty2k: read thee documentation on the website you got it from for install instructions"
[23:22] <ikonia> Gh0Sty2k: hows that for an official answer to your question
[23:22] <Gh0Sty2k> ikonia: better than your previous answer
[23:22] <ikonia> Gh0Sty2k: please follow me advice then
[23:22] <whatismyname> Greetings
[23:23] <edbian> whatismyname: hi :)
[23:23] <Gh0Sty2k> ikonia: there are plenty of other people who can assist, not just you!
[23:23] <Dr_Willis> Gh0Sty2k:  use the dpkg -i command mentioned earlier
[23:23] <mecheese> edbian do you think I need to alter it like this: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset acpi_osi=\"Linux\""
[23:23] <Gh0Sty2k> Dr_Willis:  thanks
[23:23] <cyperbg> ikonia sudo fdisk /dev/sdb said something about DOS compatible mode is deprecated. And in Gparted the Unmount option is grey
[23:23] <edbian> mecheese: No, you don't need acpi_osi non-sense
[23:23] <x_-_x> cyperbg, Using a usb pendrive as a harddrive is a bad idea, but installing an os from it is easy and fast.
[23:23] <ikonia> cyperbg: I'm stopping helping you now, as you seem unable to follow the instructions I give you
[23:24] <edbian> mecheese: That's another option.
[23:24] <ikonia> cyperbg: I told you to run "sudo fdisk /dev/sdb" and tell me when you where ready
[23:24] <ikonia> cyperbg: you've done everything but that
[23:24] <cyperbg> ikonia, you told me to use sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
[23:24] <cyperbg> and then unmount the partitions in GParted
[23:24] <ikonia> cyperbg: no I didn't
[23:24] <ronqbc> ar71k, yes. i want to find a file
[23:24] <ikonia> cyperbg: I told you to run sudo fdisk /dev/sdb and tell me where you where ready
[23:25] <edbian> cyperbg: ikonia I said to unmount in gparted
[23:25] <ikonia> edbian: thanks,
[23:25] <edbian> cyperbg: but you cannot unmount certains partitions
[23:25] <edbian> ikonia: sure
[23:25] <whatismyname> I am trying to get my broadcom wireless to work on ubuntu 11.04 (it worked fine on 10). after reading about it online, I figured I need to install "firmware-b43-package" but it's not available in synaptics package manager
[23:25] <mecheese> edbian what can I do you think?
[23:25] <edbian> whatismyname: You need to install firmware-b43-installer
[23:26] <edbian> whatismyname: :)  It changes too often.  That command gets the firmware
[23:26] <whatismyname> edbian: my bad, i meant to type "firmware-b43-installer" sorry
[23:26] <edbian> mecheese:  Try a different driver.  What card do you have?
[23:26] <whatismyname> I couldn't find it in the package manaer
[23:26] <whatismyname> manager*
[23:26] <edbian> whatismyname: perhaps you need to look in a different repo
[23:26] <cyperbg> ikonia please have mercy on me - I'm trying my best
[23:27] <edbian> whatismyname: It's in multi-verse look at the tabs in synaptic
[23:27] <cyperbg> I ran sudo fdisk /dev/sdb and it tells me something about MS-DOS
[23:27] <whatismyname> edbian: ok, let me check

[23:32] <whatismyname> i overlooked it
[23:32] <KaleFaolan> Woot! Alright, I'm trying to figure out how to activate my nvidia driver. It says "This driver is activated but not currently in use." How do i make it use it? o.O

[23:34] <cyperbg1> edbian, please help
[23:34] <edbian> whatismyname: synaptic -> settings -> repos
[23:34] <edbian> cyperbg1: with what?
[23:34] <szal> mecheese: no need to reinstall the driver if you install it from *buntu package sources in the 1st place
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> KaleFaolan: which nvidia chip do you use?
[23:34] <mecheese> szal I really like ubuntu and want to keep using it, but it's wearing on me.
[23:34] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: what is the name of the file you downloaded ?
[23:34] <mecheese> szal after install it made the screen black.
[23:35] <edbian> mecheese: Search 'nvidia' in synaptic.  Look at what comes up in terms of drivers.  Look for one for your card
[23:35] <cyperbg1> edbian, unmounting the partitions so I can delete them
[23:35] <edbian> whatismyname: :) no worries
[23:35] <KaleFaolan> ActionParsnip:  GeForce 8600M GT/PCI/SSE2
[23:35] <edbian> whatismyname: You checked multi-verse ?
[23:35] <edbian> whatismyname: make sure you reload!
[23:35] <edbian> cyperbg1: Are you on a liveCD ?
[23:35] <cyperbg1> yes
[23:35] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386
[23:35] <whatismyname> edbian: I installed the package, thank you
[23:36] <edbian> cyperbg1: sudo umount /dev/sdXY  (replace X and Y) and it's umount NOT unmount
[23:36] <edbian> whatismyname: sudo modprobe b43
[23:36] <mosx1> does clicking swith user log you out - 11.04 desktop ?
[23:36] <mosx1> switch
[23:36] <edbian> mosx1: No
[23:36] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: I told you to get the altenative cd - that's exactly the same CD image you've just used
[23:36] <mosx1> ok i clicked it from a vnc session, now the session window is just black
[23:36] <mosx1> any ideas?
[23:37] <cyperbg1> edbian it says: umount: /dev/sda2: not mounted but GParted shows them with a key symbol and I can't delete them
[23:37] <sudokill> so many people with black screens lol
[23:37] <whatismyname> edbian: i can see my SSID! thanks!
[23:37] <edbian> cyperbg1: does gparted show an orange triangle?
[23:37] <edbian> whatismyname: sure :)
[23:37] <greatpopcorn> ikonia: the text-based installer?
[23:37] <edbian> whatismyname: People are always so surprised when it starts working.
[23:37] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: yes
[23:37] <ikonia> greatpopcorn: the "alternative" cd
[23:37] <cyperbg1> edbian: no
[23:37] <greatpopcorn> ikonia:thank you!
[23:38] <szal> [Friday 15 July 2011] [04:35:05] <szal> mecheese: to install nVidia driver -> 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current && sudo nvidia-xconfig', then reboot..   if you still have issues then, please come back here
[23:38] <edbian> cyperbg1: GParted -> refresh devices
[23:38] <mecheese> szal I did that yesterday and still got black screen.
[23:38] <cyperbg1> edbian: same thing. I'll make you a screenshot
[23:39] <edbian> cyperbg1: sure
[23:40] <szal> mecheese: make sure you have "nomodeset" in the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX= line in /etc/default/grub; if you don't, add it there, then run 'sudo update-grub'
[23:40] <cyperbg1> edbian: http://img823.imageshack.us/i/screenshothh.png/
[23:40] <edbian> cyperbg1: right click it and do swapoff
[23:40] <mecheese> szal it's already there
[23:40] <edbian> cyperbg1: Then you can unmount them
[23:40] <mecheese> szal I wrote nomodeset in there
[23:41] <cyperbg1> edbian: the cli command says they are unmounted
[23:41] <mosx1> ffs...is it possible to get control of my vnc session again? I just get a black screen have killed the x11vnc server, restarted it, reconnected, same black screen.
[23:41] <cyperbg1> and the option in GParted is grey
[23:41] <edbian> cyperbg1: right click it in gparted and do swapoff
[23:41] <edbian> cyperbg1: swapoff
[23:41] <cyperbg1> edbian: there is not swapoff
[23:42] <cyperbg1> edbian found it
[23:42] <szal> mecheese: grep -i nomodeset /boot/grub/grub.cfg <- it should show 'nomodeset' in every kernel boot line
[23:42] <cyperbg1> it was active only on the last partition
[23:42] <edbian> cyperbg1: there ya go :)
[23:42] <edbian> cyperbg1: That is the only one that is swap
[23:42] <mosx1> any ideas? I'm guessing I could resort to a remote reboot as it's desktop ?
[23:42] <subminuentisch> hello i have a problem with apt and synaptic both still try to connect via the proxy wich isnt in the network anymore i emtied apt.conf the systemproxy and the synaptic proxy
[23:42] <cyperbg1> edbian: thank you so much
[23:42] <edbian> cyperbg1: sure
[23:43] <mecheese> szal I'm using ubuntu dvd right now will that do anything good while I'm using the dvd?
[23:43] <shockrates> hey
[23:43] <shockrates> how can i make grub menu on boot last 3 seconds only
[23:43] <shockrates> ?
[23:43] <edbian> shockrates: /etc/defaults/grub
[23:43] <shockrates> edbian: i edit this file?
[23:44] <szal> mecheese: to my knowledge there is no Ubuntu DVD; if you have a DVD, it's almost certainly not Ubuntu..  mount your / partition & change the file path accordingly
[23:44] <cyperbg1> edbian: can I ask you too, because I'm trying to figure out what caused the problem. I've done like 7-8 installations always choosing the option to delete previous installation and install on the entire drive. Doesn't the installer delete all partitions and sort things out?
[23:44] <edbian> shockrates: yeah.  There is a straightforward option in there
[23:44] <shockrates> edbian: i use grub2...
[23:44] <mecheese> szal cd or whatever it's not the hd install.
[23:44] <edbian> cyperbg1: I thought it would
[23:44] <Dr_Willis> the ubuntu dvd has addational languages - i think thats about it...
[23:44] <edbian> shockrates: that's right :) /etc/default/grub
[23:44] <cyperbg1> edbian: so what would you suggest now: choose that options or make the partitions myself?
[23:45] <edbian> cyperbg1: Delete all the partitions.  When using the installer choose 'use entire drive
[23:45] <shockrates> edbian: ok edited the file. do i now run some command to update grub?
[23:45] <edbian> Maybe it didn't delete swap because you had never done swapoff
[23:45] <cyperbg1> edbian I will. What about the file system. Is ext4 good?
[23:45] <edbian> shockrates: I don't think you need to.
[23:45] <shockrates> kk
[23:45] <shockrates> ty
[23:45] <edbian> cyperbg1: ext4 all the way!
[23:45] <edbian> shockrates: sure
[23:45] <mosx1> anything i can try from commandline to get my desktop back on screen ?
[23:46] <cyperbg1> edbian: thank you. Any other suggestions?
[23:46] <cyperbg1> so I don't mess things up again
[23:46] <shockrates> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr_g23qi9hg
[23:46] <bazhang> shockrates, dont paste that here
[23:46] <edbian> cyperbg1: I wouldn't even bother making the partitions.  Just leave the whole HDD empty and then choose 'use entire disc' in the installer
[23:46] <cyperbg1> edbian: yes I always do that :)
[23:46] <shockrates> bazhang: nice song though
[23:46] <shockrates> :)
[23:46] <graalgonstruckt> I was wondering if anyone would be able to assist me to adding a radio station to banshee on ubuntu.

[23:46] <biami> how do I set up to start programming openGL using C in Ubuntu?
[23:47] <bazhang> shockrates, it has nothing to do with ubuntu support, so dont
[23:47] <cyperbg1> edbian: how long more are you around here if I need any help?
[23:47] <shockrates> i have a problem and when i do apt-get install wine, it fails to download some fonts from sourceforge and times out. does anyone else have this?
[23:47] <edbian> cyperbg1: a while
[23:47] <edbian> I don't really know
[23:47] <subminuentisch>  hello i have a problem with apt and synaptic both still try to connect via the proxy wich isnt in the network anymore i emtied apt.conf the systemproxy and the synaptic proxy

[23:48] <krux> mosx1, service gdm start ?
[23:48] <biami> can i ask something?
[23:48] <edbian> biami: yes
[23:48] <biami> how do I set up to start programming openGL using C in Ubuntu?
[23:49] <canonin> hello there
[23:49] <victorious> biami: with alot of googling :)
[23:49] <edbian> canonin: hi
[23:49] <shockrates> ciao
[23:49] <biami> victorious... :-o
[23:50] <canonin> guys, im taking a screenshot.
[23:50] <canonin> say cheese.
[23:50] <cyperbg1> edbian: before installing is there a tool in the LiveCD to check the integrity of the flash drive. I want to make sure it is in good health.
[23:50] <mosx1> 11.04 desktop if that makes a diff ?
[23:50] <sudokill> cheese
[23:50] <sudokill> IM FAMOUS
[23:50] <ar71k> cheese
[23:50] <edbian> cyperbg1: I don't know
[23:50] <edbian> sudokill: ha
[23:50] <cyperbg1> ok I will gogle
[23:50] <edbian> cyperbg1: sure
[23:51] <mosx1> Server is already active for display 0
[23:51] <victorious> biami: I think it depends on what compiler you use and what libraries you want to use. So i suggest you just google it to get started and figure out what you need
[23:51] <stercor> Is there a way to send a .jpg as a fax?
[23:51] <mecheese> szal says no such file or directory. I can see the file in nautilus.
[23:52] <mosx1> ok, neither suggestion worked, thx anyhow.
[23:53] <exutux> mosx1: sudo service gdm restart
[23:53] <canonin> screenshot time!
[23:53] <canonin> say cheese
[23:53] <cyperbg1> anyone else know a tool to check flash drive health?
[23:53] <szal> mecheese: make sure you got the path right
[23:53] <bazhang> canonin, thats enough
[23:53] <exutux> mosx1: or a total reboot .. sudo reboot
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> cyperbg1: fsck
[23:54] <mosx1> thx exu...I just went for a sudo reboot
[23:54] <canonin> bazhang: Thanks for ruining my screenie :|
[23:54] <mecheese> szal ok. I fixed the the path. it now does show nomodeset in results.
[23:54] <sudokill> ActionParsnip, mind the language
[23:54] <cyperbg> ActionParsnip thank you
[23:54] <mecheese> szal it shows nomodeset in red
[23:55] <subminuentisch> can anyone tell me a way to delete the proxy for apt and synaptic
[23:55] <sudokill> subminuentisch, isnt that in global system proxy?
[23:55] <szal> mecheese: then the most probable culprit for screen blackouts is the connection between gfx card and monitor, analog connections (VGA) tend to be picky when it comes to display modes
[23:55] <subminuentisch> nope is empty thats the problem
[23:56] <sudokill> subminuentisch, and its using a proxy for the installs /u pdates?
[23:56] <mecheese> szal what I want to know is how did it work before. I had it working for a time and then when I reinstalled it just didn't work.
[23:56] <subminuentisch> i googled it and found something in apt.conf deleted the proxy in there but that just fixed synaptic
[23:56] <edbian> szal: mecheese I disagree.  The connection is good during bios post and suddenly bad when the OS starts?  Everytime?  It's not a physical connection problem.
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> sudokill: huh?
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> sudokill: I suggest you look at: man fsck
[23:57] <subminuentisch> yes updates  and installs wont work
[23:57] <mecheese> edbian i think you're right. like I said it did work at one time.
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> sudokill: there is no foul language there at all.
[23:57] <sudokill> ActionParsnip, i was messing around :p
[23:57] <edbian> mecheese: Which drivers have you tried?
[23:57] <szal> edbian: I never said it is, but for reasons unknown to me, even TFTs have problems w/ some resolution over VGA, while they don't over DVI
[23:57] <bazhang> sudokill, wrong channel for it.
[23:57] <sudokill> i know
[23:57]  * ActionParsnip shrugs
[23:57] <mecheese> just the neuveau one edbian
[23:58] <bazhang> sudokill, then why do it. you know the rules of the channel
[23:58] <edbian> mecheese: Can you boot the recovery mode?
[23:58] <sudokill> :(
[23:59] <aeon-ltd> qaswedrftyuiop[
[23:59] <mecheese> edbian I have always used the default driver and it worked (though a few times I had to edit xorg.conf
[23:59] <edbian> mecheese: You have an xorg.conf ??
[23:59] <mecheese> edbian I can boot it, but what can it do?
[23:59] <edbian> mecheese: The display works during recovery mode?

[03:22] <neildugan> I have a small set of five computers using a NFS file server.. I would like setup to allow anyone to use any of the computers so that when they login and get there own home directory etc.. to do this I thought I would setup a LDAP server, and remote mount a /home directory from the file server... is this basic approach feasible?
[03:31] <tomreyn> neildugan: generally, yes, but you may run into other limiting factors, such as human preferences ("i want my own computer / keyboard / custom boot screen"), full disk encryption (limited amount of decryption keys), organisational standard compliance ("computer hardware must be attributable to a single user" for security reasons, or to facilitate user support). With an organization this small you may be more flexible, but considering
[03:31] <tomreyn> these implications (and how they can become relevant should the organization grow later) can be worth it.
[03:37] <neildugan> tomreyn, thanks for the info.. non of those are a concern atm.. the boss is more concerned with allowing people to play musical chars with computers.
[04:12] <tomreyn> neildugan: hehe, looks like i'm far off reality.
[08:44] <uzee> Hi, In the preseed config "d-i mirror/http/hostname string archive.ubuntu.com" is it possible to point to a local host with http?
[11:02] <uzee> I've copied the entire contents of the ubuntu 18 server iso to a local machine and am trying to use that machine as the installation source in preseed, for e.g:
[11:03] <uzee> d-i mirror/http/hostname string http://admin.mydomain
[11:03] <uzee> d-i mirror/http/directory string /ubuntu/ubuntu18
[11:03] <uzee> but the installer gives me an error saying "no kernel modules found" is having the iso copied locally not enough?
[15:53] <technoob> Hi
[16:51] <foo> Having a strange issue with /dev/urandom, I believe: https://github.com/pyca/pynacl/issues/327#issuecomment-491471402 - process hangs for 30 seconds to 1 minute. It's causing process to overlap. I'm beginning to run out of ideas and getting desperate, wondering if anyone here has noticed this on a digital ocean droplet before - thank you
