[00:00] <urlin2u> kirby92, sorry I meant gthat when your addressing another on the channel use their nic, you can autocomplete it with the tab.
[00:00] <Gentoo64> gh0zt: google tells me ndiswrapper is needed for that adapter
[00:00] <deper29> Slart: now what?
[00:00] <gh0zt> I tried that but it didn't work.
[00:00] <urlin2u> !broadcom > kirby92
[00:00] <gh0zt> I downloaded the xp drivers and when i tried to load them, it didn't work.  i think its because whoever got that working, only got it for the 32 bit ubuntu
[00:00] <Slart> deper29: now it's time for another reboot.. do a full shutdown again.. then try and see if it works
[00:01] <javier_> Hi! Someone can help me compiling a program=
[00:01] <javier_> ?
[00:01] <Gentoo64> gh0zt: really no idea. you can get usb-ethernet adapter that work out box on linux for ~£3 though
[00:01] <Fujk> is there a desktop ubuntu version for 64-bit with support for 4 GB of ram? last time I installed ubuntu I had to install the server edition because there was a ram limit...
[00:01] <Darkfrost> @javier, What program?
[00:01] <urlin2u> kirby92, the bot has a link for setting those up make sure you identify it when you post if it does not get running, it will help the pro's. :D
[00:02] <Slart> Fujk: all 64 bit versions support more than 4 Gb of RAM
[00:02] <MoDDD> kirby92: if don't work try to unload and reload b43legacy module
[00:02] <urlin2u> javier_, naming the program will go a long way, youmay not need to.
[00:02] <javier_> Darkfros: is a program called BEAST. I have the folder with .sh file and makefile
[00:03] <hexacode> hey you guys, what does g+ws mean in the following "sudo chmod -R g+ws /var/svn/$REPOS"  ?   ive never seen s before, and im also just plain used to using octal notation
[00:03] <hexacode> thanks
[00:03] <kirby92> MoDDD: I've already tried the post and tried unloading and reloading it.
[00:03] <gh0zt> Gentoo64: which one do you recommend?
[00:04] <Fujk> is there a desktop ubuntu version for 64-bit, intel core i5 with support for 4 GB of ram? last time I installed ubuntu I had to install the server edition because there was a ram limit or cpu limit (can't remember the reason)...
[00:04] <Slart> Fujk: all 64 bit versions support more than 4 Gb of RAM
[00:04] <hexacode> oops i meant chmod
[00:04] <Fujk> Slart: do you remember why you had to go the server edition? this was like a year+ ago
[00:04] <Gentoo64> gh0zt: i just ordered one for a really old laptop today that apparently works out the box: http://goo.gl/4k0q2
[00:05] <deper29> Slart: It's turning on!
[00:05] <MoDDD> kirby92: ok try this.. unload your b43 module, load ath9k module, reload b43 module and unload ath9k.. I know is crazy but with me this solution work :)
[00:05] <deper29> Slart: no x though, just a black screen asking me to login
[00:05] <Slart> Fujk: 32bit desktop had a limitation .. something along the lines of 3.5 GB. Server kernels used the PAE extension which allowed you to use 32bit ubuntu with more than 4 GB of ram
[00:05] <Slart> deper29: ok.. at least things are happening.. =)
[00:06] <deper29> Slart: I agree :) I was happy to see that
[00:06] <Fujk> Slart: ok so this is fixed now, so it was only ram limit, not core cpus?
[00:06] <MoDDD> kirby92: and after that try again rfkill list all
[00:06] <kirby92> MoDDD: OK I'll give it a try.
[00:06] <gh0zt> gentoo:  Oh I see waht you got.  I want a wireless usb adapter though.  this is usb -> ethernet
[00:06] <shovell> the only reason i ask here is that i belive it is a ubuntu issue more than wine
[00:06] <Slart> Fujk: oh.. I have no idea about that.. I don't think I've ever been close to those limits..
[00:06] <MoDDD> kirby92: thx xD
[00:06] <Gentoo64> gh0zt: ahh ok, i bought one of them the other day too that works fine: http://goo.gl/rnesp
[00:06] <Slart> deper29: so, you can you log in with your regular username/password?
[00:07] <Gentoo64> gh0zt: just have a look around on the item comments, most people will say if it works on linux or not out the box
[00:07] <Gentoo64> that tiny little one i linked to is pretty decent and cheap actually
[00:08] <deper29> Slart: I can :)
[00:08] <Slart> deper29: great.. now run this      tail -n 50 /var/log/syslog    it will print out the last 50 lines from your system log
[00:09] <Raymond_> i have a usb netgear wireless access point. it connects to the network, but nothing shows up in the browser. any ideas
[00:09] <Slart> deper29: I'm not sure about this.. but there might be stuff in that log file you don't want to share with the world.. just look at the printout and see if you see anything obviously personal
[00:09] <aBound> Raymond_, Any chance you may have set your Firewall to block the port 80 or router?
[00:10] <Fujk> if I reinstall from lucid lynx to latest 11.x, will it preserve my docky, gnome do, terminal themes etc?
[00:10] <deper29> Slart: nothing personal in there
[00:11] <Slart> deper29: if you've looked it over and it looks ok you can run this command     tail -n 50 /var/log/syslog | pastebinit     it will send the same thing you saw to the website we talked about before
[00:11] <Raymond_> abound, no
[00:11] <tellone> my fan so quiet after last update, is there any reason i should worry?
[00:11] <aBound> Fujk, They have an upgrade version for when you install Ubuntu 11.10 but I can't say for certain if it'll preserve your settings.
[00:11] <Gentoo64> tellone: i wouldnt worry
[00:12] <aBound> Raymond_, Have you checked if you were connected to the access point? By the way are you able to access anything other than the web browser?
[00:12] <ablyss> hi, does anyone know if the ubunto one program for windows has to be open and minimized for files to be synced ?  It seems if its closed nothing is being synced
[00:12] <deper29> Slart: http://paste.ubuntu.com/815974
[00:12] <MoDDD> kirby92: work?
[00:12] <Slart> deper29: ahh.. you see those lines about NVRM in there?
[00:12] <tellone> but i like the fan disappeared during  the reboot to get the upgrades to kick in
[00:13] <OerHeks> ablyss, no, once logged in, minimize won´t interrupt sync
[00:13] <tellone> it's like
[00:13] <Slart> deper29: you installed the nvidia binary driver from the nvidia site, right?
[00:13] <deper29> Slart: once a long time ago, yes
[00:13] <deper29> Slart: I still have that file somewhere
[00:13] <Slart> deper29: it's still hanging around in there... that's probably what has been messing things up..
[00:14] <Raymond_> abound, software center doesnt work, how would i check if it connected to the access point
[00:14] <Slart> deper29: if you have the file you can run     sudo sh NVIDIA-blablablabla --uninstall    I think that will remove the driver
[00:14] <deper29> Slart: how would I go about removing it?
[00:14] <deper29> Slart: blablabla is what the rest of that file is called I presume :P
[00:15] <deper29> Slart: I'll explore a bit here and see
[00:15] <Slart> deper29: hehe.. yes.. it's a long name with version numbers and whatnot
[00:15] <aBound> Raymond_, Depends from within Ubuntu 11.10 you can easily click the "Wireless Signal" button and see what access point it's currently using.
[00:16] <aBound> Raymond_, Should be on the top right.
[00:16] <deper29> Slart: the file has .run at the end, I wouldn't include that would i?
[00:16] <Raymond_> abound, i am using lucid, and it is connected to the access point
[00:17] <wolfmitchell> Ugh client randomly quit
[00:17] <Slart> deper29: yes, include that in the command
[00:17] <Raymond_> abound, i type in startpage.com and the site does not come up
[00:17] <Slart> deper29: so...     sudo sh NVIDIA-blablalb.run --uninstall
[00:17] <wolfmitchell> Nvm g2g
[00:18] <aBound> Raymond_, Have you used this device before? Perhaps the driver isn't supported by the kernel.
[00:18] <XrD> Raymond_ can you ping anything from a konsole
[00:19] <arooni-mobile> hi folks;  running ubuntu 11.10 here.  when i try to connect to a wireless network for the first time (when i havent connected to it previously)... and i enter the wrong password; there seems to be *no way* to change the password if i got i t wrong the first time.  ubuntu keeps trying to reconnect with the wrong password
[00:19] <aBound> Raymond_, Like XrD said open a terminal and type: ping localhost
[00:19] <Raymond_> abound, first time using, its a netgear wg111 USB i dont think netgear makes a driver to install on ubuntu, but the driver may be on the device itself, idk.
[00:20] <aBound> Raymond_, The driver might not be installed by default or be supported in the older kernels.
[00:20] <aBound> Newer kernels usually contain newer built-in drivers.
[00:20] <aBound> If the device is new it might not be installed by default for the 2.6 kernel that Lucid uses.
[00:21] <deper29> Slart: I get a blue thing with an error: File '/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.sl' is not a symbolic link
[00:21] <Slart> deper29: yes, that's ok.. can you click ok?
[00:21] <deper29> Slart: other than that, it uinsatalled. I clicked ok
[00:21] <deper29> Slart: time for another reboot? :P
[00:21] <aBound> Raymond_, Can't setup a  printer without a driver right the same philosophy goes with the USB device. Try to open a terminal and type: lspci | grep Network
[00:22] <Slart> deper29: hmm.. you might want to run this first    sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current   just to be sure
[00:22] <mega1> how do i create a shared folder on ubuntu server 11.10 and be able to be see by windows
[00:22] <Slart> deper29: in case that other nvidia driver removed something that we need.. these are two installers that mess with the same set of files, after all
[00:23] <tweet> hi all ! I have issues with grub 1.99 here..
[00:23] <tweet> I did an update and I see 3.0.0-15 in the grub.cfg, yet the boot menu does not reflect that

[00:28] <urlin2u> tweet, if you have a dualboot with another linux it may have the grub control as well.
[00:28] <tweet> since I log into a previous version... There is no error. I did a sudo update-grub and mkconfig.. I even tried using startupmanager which reads the grub.cfg properly with Windows 7 and kernel 3.0.0.-15.. Somehow the latest changes are not reflected on the boot menu
[00:28] <XrD> Guest41698: try: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[00:28] <pablomujik_> hello somebody will help me
[00:28] <urlin2u> tweet, startup manger will not move the stanzas in a upgrade it is deprecated.
[00:28] <Guest41698> ok i will try
 can you please guide me on this?
[00:29] <urlin2u> tweet, maybe, you have ubuntu and windows only?

[00:31] <Slart> deper29: so.. did it work?
[00:31] <urlin2u> tweet, the startup manager is deprecated so that is no good to start with, but ut sounds like even without it your not seeing the kernel. hat do you see when you run sudo update-grub
[00:31] <urlin2u> it*
[00:31] <DasEi> pablomujik_: sure, both to be fresh installed ?
[00:31] <Guest41698> pk
[00:31] <Guest41698> ok
[00:32] <tweet> sudo update-grub
[00:32] <urlin2u> pablomujik_, run sudo fdsik -lu in the ubuntu terminal and pastebin the output.
[00:32] <rhom> guy! I install the virtual (guest os) with virtualbox with raw drive. Now its unknown partition is there way to read it?
[00:32] <Guest41698> so, i am directory root@bt:/etc/init.d
[00:33] <aBound> Eh, looks like raymond left.

[00:33] <XrD> Guest41698: K so you logged in as root? Could try to start it but i'm not sure if Apache will tell you not to run directly from root acc.
[00:33] <enzo> !list
[00:33] <Slart> deper29: hmm.. does CTRL+ALT+F1 do anything?
[00:34] <Guest41698> yes i am root
[00:34] <DasEi> rhom: raw ? I don't understand.. you installed vbox and now want a virtual os in there ?
[00:34] <Guest41698> i am logged in as root
[00:34] <urlin2u> tweet, it is at the top of the list, did yoiu run this before you installed startup manager?
[00:34] <tweet> urlin2u, yes I did
[00:34] <XrD> Guest41698 when in that dir, type ./httpd2 start  but I am not sure if you should be running that as root really..
[00:35] <rhom> DasEI: raw is the the virtual drive on the physical disk
[00:35] <dcplaya> Anyone help me with a mounting issue. when I try to change directories to my /media mount (edited fstab to automount ntfs drives) it just sits there, doesnt respond
[00:35] <Guest41698> i undstood
[00:35] <rhom> DasEi: raw is the the virtual drive on the physical disk
[00:35] <DasEi> rhom: I see, let's take the conversation to #vbox
[00:35] <Guest41698> so do i need to use sudo ?
[00:35] <urlin2u> tweet, strange not sure why it does not show in the grub menu.
[00:35] <deper29> Slart: I rebooted into recovery, that did nothing :(
[00:36] <Slart> deper29: bah.. and I really thought we fixed it
[00:36] <XrD> Guest41698 that wont be of much use if you are already logged in as root
[00:36] <DasEi> rhom: enter /j #vbox in your messenger
[00:36] <deper29> Slart: damn, I have to shutdown again. recovery is doing that silly thing again :(
[00:36] <tweet> urlin2u, this has been bothering me since last evening
[00:36] <Guest41698> so, how do i ?
[00:37] <Slart> deper29: well.. someone else will have to take it from here.. I have to get to bed.. but do the pastebin thing again and ask the channel.. give them the links to those log files. I'm sure someone here can help you from there..
[00:37] <deper29> Slart: thanks a bunch again :)
[00:37] <lm12> Guest41698: Whats prob?
[00:37] <Slart> deper29: tell them you had the nvidia binary driver installed before.. that might save them a couple of minutes
[00:37] <Slart> deper29: you're welcome.. hope you get it fixed
[00:38] <deper29> lm12: i have a black screen upon boot :(
[00:38] <urlin2u> tweet, have you moodified grub to put windows at the top of the list?
[00:38] <tweet> urlin2u, yes
[00:38] <XrD> lm12: he is trying to start apache but get's the user error and has now logged in as root to try it from there, doesnt seem like the best idea.
[00:38] <tweet> I edited 40_custom
[00:38] <XrD> Has anyone seen Infinity?
[00:38] <lm12> Hmm
[00:39] <gbase> hi
[00:39] <urlin2u> tweet, just guessing but I suspect that is the problem, I don't really know though nor an answer, you might make a thread at the ubuntu forums as well.
[00:39] <dcplaya> Can anyone help me with a drive mount issue? fstab is set up and worked before I upgraded to 11.10
[00:39] <tweet> but doesn't update-grub update the cfg file? My windows comes from the custom file
[00:39] <gbase> I would like to know if anyone has a bit of spare time to help me setting up a wireless access point
[00:40] <LucidGuy> I have a system that randomly crashes.  I was able to capture this at the console.  Thoughts?   http://paste.ubuntu.com/815996/
[00:40] <urlin2u> tweet, supposed to, but it seems to not be, not sure why.
[00:41] <lm12> Guest41698: Just to ensure I know where you stand, did you attempt a dual boot, or install Vbox or KVM etc..?
[00:41] <Guest41698> at one time when i installed the apache2 had run
[00:41] <Guest41698> but now i need to run him
[00:41] <XrD> Guest41698 you may wish to read http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=804436
[00:41] <urlin2u> tweet, here is agrub 2 wiki you may already know this url, just passing it on. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[00:42] <Guest41698> ok
[00:43] <lm12> Well, I'm not sure how you got in the situation, but you could try booting from a live disk
[00:43] <tweet> urlin2u, i saw that link earlier..was not very helpful
[00:43] <lm12> So you can see the FS and possibly the prob.l
[00:44] <urlin2u> tweet, grub is a bit complex that is why I suggest the forums as well, if you post there give all the info I have discovered by asking questions I.E. the grub modification...etc
[00:45] <tweet> urlin2u, I moved the grub.cfg to another file and generated a new one - even this one has the windows entry
[00:45] <tweet> picked from th 40-custom file..
[00:45] <tweet> let me see if it helps
[00:46] <urlin2u> tweet, cool
[00:46] <aBound> Man that spaghetti got to me.
[00:46] <urlin2u> tweet, I'm mostly familiar with setting up multibooting with grub not the other custom stuff.
[00:48] <tweet> urlin2u, time for me to try a reboot
[00:48] <urlin2u> tweet, cool
[00:50] <aBound> Good thing for IRC.

[01:00] <Yb8022> So I have Ubuntu Server 11.10 installed and I'm just wondering about a minor nuissance, why after logging in does it hang for about 2 seconds before actually getting me in? Specifically after this "Last login: Wed Jan 25 01:32:14 2012 from <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:00] <Yb8022> - 3 second HANG - then logs in
[01:00] <Yb8022> anyone have a clue?
[01:00] <Raymond_> abound, thanlyou
[01:00] <deper29> hey, can someone help me get ubuntu working :P I get a black screen after I boot. I am trying to run 11.04.  upgraded from 10.10. I had nvidia binary drivers installed, then removed them and installed nvidia current. I still get a black screen though, and can only boot into recovery.
[01:00] <Raymond_> thankyou*
[01:00] <lm12> Check logfiles.
[01:01] <aBound> :P
[01:02] <lm12> deper29: Try a clean NVIDIA install (it has that option when you download the latest driver)
[01:02] <lm12> To wipe previous config etc.
[01:02] <deper29> lm12: how do I do that? I am in recovery root shell right now
[01:03] <aBound> deper29, Downgraded from 11.04 to 10.10?
[01:03] <deper29> aBound: I don't know how to downgrade :/
[01:03] <lm12> Driver should be in repository.
[01:03] <lm12> for Ubuntu
[01:03] <aBound> lm12, I don't think he can get to a GUI.
[01:04] <deper29> aBound: you are right, no GUI
[01:04] <Yb8022> lm12: nothing in log files

[01:04] <aBound> deper29, Are you able to get a login shell by pressing ctrl-alt-F1
[01:04] <Dr-Willis> deper29:  reinstall is the only real way to 'downgrade' to a older release.
[01:05] <Dr-Willis> deper29:  the nomodeset option may help in your case.
[01:05] <lm12> try apt-get, not sure the package name
[01:05] <Dr-Willis> !nomodeset
[01:05] <deper29> aBound: no,  only shell I get is in recovery. i was able to boot up before and it gave me a shell screen to login into. now I just get the black screen...after the splash screen with ubuntu 11.04
[01:05] <deper29> Dr-Willis: how do I use nomodeset?
[01:06] <urlin2u> deper29, look at the nomodeset Dr-Willis asked the bot to show.
[01:06] <aBound> deper29, Have you tried typing: startx
[01:06] <Dr-Willis> read the url the bot gave deper29 .
[01:06] <deper29> oh, sorry
[01:07] <Dr-Willis> for some of my nvidia systems i have to yuse the nomodeset option, untilli get the nvidia drivers installed from the pacakjge manager.
[01:08] <Dr-Willis> Hopefully the next release will make Nomodeset less and less needed. I only need it rarely these days in 11.10. needed it all the time in 11.04
[01:09] <cawel> If you feel like it, I could use some help to prevent my iwl3945 wireless driver from freezing my Ubuntu 10.11 http://askubuntu.com/questions/98211/switching-the-hardware-wireless-switch-on-makes-dell-vostro-1500-freeze
[01:11] <cakeman> how can i get the terminal to play a sound whener i enter a command
[01:11] <scott__> 'fraid I need some mounting-drive help:  i was copying some files from external ntfs drive to internal ext3 drive (was mounted through fstab) and all of a sudden it stopped...I rebooted and internal drive would not mount...tried manual fsck and got an error 2
[01:11] <deper29> Dr-Willis: I'm just reading this URL
[01:11] <Dr-Willis> cakeman:  the bash prompt has a feature to run a external command, so it could be done that way. Check the bash prompt howto at tldp.org perhaps.
[01:12] <Dr-Willis> cakeman:  it would play a beep or whatever whenever the prompt returns however.. not when you hit enter. :)
[01:12] <Dr-Willis> !prompt
[01:12] <lm12> try this sh nvidia-bug-report.sh
[01:12] <cakeman> DR-Willis: thanks i'll read the howto
[01:13] <deper29> Dr-Willis: when I go to do the edit, at the end of quiet splash I have vt.handoff=7_
[01:13] <deper29> should I leave that there?
[01:13] <Dr-Willis> deper29:  leave it there.
[01:13] <deper29> Dr-Willis: just put nomodeset behind it?
[01:14] <deper29> er, in front of it
[01:14] <Dr-Willis> I think that tells the console to switch to vt 7.  nomodeset befor or after it. shouldent matter.
[01:14] <Dr-Willis> I always change mine to be just 'noquiet nosplash nomodeset' :) because I perfer to disable the boot eyecandy
[01:14] <lm12> or if you can get the file, run sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run --advanced-options
[01:14] <Dr-Willis> I also set it where grub always shows.
[01:15] <scott__> could someone help me with this fsck & drive mounting problem?
[01:15] <scott__> please? heheh
[01:15] <artichoku> howdie folks
[01:15] <artichoku> my dear friends, who's in the mood for destroying a "hacker"
[01:15] <lm12> http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/131/kw/linux%20command%20line
[01:16] <tippenein> anyone help me with /etc/network/interfaces file ?
[01:16] <Yb8022> I changed ssh protocol from 2 to 1 in the config, it failed to start so I reverted the config back to protocol 2 and now it still won't start, giving me this: start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.7" (uid=1000 pid=1642 comm="start ssh ") interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart"
[01:16] <Yb8022> (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init")
[01:16] <OerHeks> artichoku, wrong channel, this is Ubuntu support only.
[01:16] <Yb8022> oh
[01:16] <Yb8022> nevermind
[01:16] <tippenein> I added 2 lines because wireless wouldn't connect and now it disconnects ever 20 seconds or so
[01:16] <artichoku> i know it's ubuntu, just realized alot of my peeps aren't on
[01:17] <artichoku> generally i'm helping :)
[01:17] <artichoku> i'll /list
[01:17] <deper29> Dr-Willis: it worked! my resolution is wacky
[01:17] <deper29> but it worked
[01:18] <scott__> Dr-Willis: i know you were helping someone, but perhaps that task is done now?  you're my god on this channel, and it's been a long time :)
[01:18] <Vivekananda> v
[01:18] <Dr-Willis> scott__:  ive barely been here the last 2+ weeks :)   I can try. but im gettint ready to head to work in about an hr.
[01:18] <aBound> :P
[01:19] <Dr-Willis> I havent even had my Ubuntu box on in over 2 weeks..  To much overtime work.
[01:19] <scott__> Dr-Willis: well it's been months/years since you helped me last...now i'm on my son's desktop and one of my drives just stopped...
[01:20] <Dr-Willis> with a hard drive. check 'dmesg' output when it 'stops' and look for any error messages. Hard drives eem to be the most common point of failure ive had on any suystem these days.
[01:20] <Dr-Willis> Gotten where i backup my backups these days.
[01:20] <scott__> er....his drives...it was mounted through fstab, was copying files from external drive to it, and allofa sudden the copying stopped, I rebooted, and it won't mount at all...noway nowhow
[01:20] <aBound> I'm off. :P
[01:20] <Dr-Willis> try to mount by hand, look for error messages, and dmesg output.
[01:21] <scott__> Dr-Willis: tell me about it :(   i'm in one hell of a mess here
[01:22] <scott__> Dr-Willis: i did try to mount by hand before i came into the channel, but it didn't work...
[01:23] <scott__> this is what i typed in: sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/tempstore
[01:23] <ag> I'm trying to change the max upload size of owncloud using this cmd ''gksu gedit /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini'' but it say cannot open display. i need help
[01:23] <scott__> and this is error message i got: mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist
[01:24] <somsip> ag: are you sshing to connect to the server?
[01:24] <scott__> Dr-Willis: did this hdd just die, while the copying was going on, and before i rebooted?
[01:25] <Guest41698> friends i achieved
[01:25] <Dr-Willis> scott__:  this is an external USB HD? or interlal sata?
[01:25] <ag> somsip: now yes, but in the morning i was connected to the server
[01:25] <Dr-Willis> scott__:  ive had hdd die without warning, sometimes they come back up/awake.
[01:25] <scott__> Dr-Willis: internal pata
[01:25] <somsip> ag: gedit needs X to display, so you'll have to use a command line editor instead
[01:26] <scott__> no, wait, it is sata, through a promise card
[01:27] <sdferfx> Hi. I want to have system-wide JAVAOPTS so every instance of Java launches with the same options. How can I get that?
[01:27] <Dr-Willis> scott__:  check sudo fdisk -l  output. It Might be on a  differnt  device. When i have problem drive like this. i tend to pull them out and put them in a exteranl usb enclosure. If you cant even hear the drive spin up when powered on.. thats very bad.
[01:27] <ag> somsip: which other i can use? i'm learning ubuntu. Thanks
[01:27] <scott__> the mobo didn't have sata support, it's that old, but the promise card enabled me to use the sata drive
[01:28] <somsip> ag: pico and nano are usually the easiest if you are a beginner. other options include vi and emacs
[01:29] <ag> somsip: so i have to run: nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
[01:29] <somsip> ag: sudo nano /etc/...php.ini
[01:29] <scott__> Dr-Willis: the fdisk command only gave me 4 sda partitions...no sdb partitions at all
[01:30] <scott__> yet i know for a fact there are 2 physical drives in this box
[01:31] <ag> somsip: it give me a black screen and it say new file at the bottom
[01:31] <scott__> Dr-Willis: does that mean this linux box isn't even registering the second drive at all?
[01:32] <scott__> we know it's not mounted, but fdisk should still recognize it?
[01:32] <somsip> ag: you did the full path? I just avoided typing the whole thing in my previous comment. So "sudo nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini" if that's where it is located
[01:32] <ptosiani> can you suggest a IRC client for ubuntu?
[01:32] <ptosiani> thnx
[01:33] <SwedeMike> ptosiani: irssi.
[01:33] <ag> somsip: yes i did the full path
[01:33] <somsip> ptosiani: irssi, xchat..then there are weechat and browser plugins
[01:33] <nivyaj> hey
[01:33] <somsip> ag: show the output of "ls /etc/php5/apache2"
[01:33] <ptosiani> OK, I'm n xchat, i'm trying to add a new channel: irc://irc.freenode.net/symfony-es
[01:34] <ptosiani> but it keeps saying that the URL is wrong
[01:34] <urlin2u> ptosiani, /join chanel name
[01:34] <nivyaj> I'm setting up a dual boot HD Windows and Ubuntu, and want to make sure I get what's going on. Can someone talk me through the partitioning schemes? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PartitioningSchemes
[01:34] <nivyaj> ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
[01:34] <ptosiani> th irc.// is a channel name?
[01:35] <ag> somsip: how i run that?
[01:35] <somsip> ag: you copy what I typed, paste it into a terminal, and press enter
[01:36] <varun_> hello everyone
[01:36] <christian27> hi
[01:36] <scott__> Dr-Willis: does that mean this linux box isn't even registering the second drive at all?
[01:36] <ag> somsip: i did and it say no such of file or directory
[01:36] <scott__> we know it's not mounted, but fdisk should still recognize it?
[01:36] <urlin2u> ptosiani, /join #synfony-es
[01:37] <somsip> ag: so where is the file you are trying to edit?
[01:37] <urlin2u> ptosiani, sorry /join #symfony-es
[01:37] <Dr-Willis> scott__:  id reboot and see if the BIOS is even seeing the hard drive.
[01:38] <Dr-Willis> scott__:  it may be the controller or drive has died. in such a way that the hardware is not detecting the hd.
[01:38] <varun_> I have ubuntu lucid and an external toshiba hard drive.The the disk utility shows the drive now has 3 bad sectors.Is there a way to correct bad sectors and not just to keep the system from trying to store data there. I read that a low level formatter can do it and also that it is dangerous to use fsk?
[01:38] <ptosiani> k, but I need to add the full server URL somewhere? I'm in xchat / network list trying to add a new network
[01:38] <jagjr> Can someone help me with a Hardrive problem?
[01:38] <ag> somsip: i'm thinking here /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
[01:39] <somsip> ag: best to confirm if it exists rather than assuming it does
[01:39] <scott__> yeah...that was the next thing i was gonna check out...perhaps I'll turn to the laptop problem, which is even bigger:  had to try the toshiba recovery tool and it exitted with an error -- after it wiped the partition with the system on it
[01:39] <enchilado> christel
[01:39] <ag> somsip: so how i can check if exist or not?
[01:39] <varun_> jagjr:please state the problem also along with your request.
[01:39] <jagjr> Ubuntu 10.04 and Backtrack 5 R1 won't recognise my Hardrive - It's got windows 7 on it but it saying it's empty
[01:40] <Dr-Willis> scott__:  there are windows 7 recovery/reinstall images you can get  legally online if all else fails. I think i got links to them at http://delicious.com/dr_willis
[01:40] <urlin2u> ptosiani, doesn't my command get you there, when I used connect on a right click of the url it opened.
[01:40] <somsip> ag: do "ls /etc" and see if php5 exists. do "ls /etc/php5" and see is apache2 exists.
[01:41] <Raymond_> how do i ./configure make and install a tar.bz2
[01:41] <urlin2u> !tar > Raymond_
[01:41] <christel> enchilado: yus darling
[01:41] <scott__> Dr-Willis: thx! I'm writing it down...god knows it's all legal here, the laptop being just over a year old

[01:43] <urlin2u> nivyaj, you on the ubuntu right now the live cd?
[01:43] <ag> somsip: php5 exist, when i run php5 to see apache2 exist I can see apache2filter
[01:43] <john_rambo> http://pastebin.com/6pV4yYsk  <<<<Cant update
[01:43] <scott__> Dr-Willis: i take it there's an underscore symbol in the url you gave me ^^? as per your name?
[01:43] <somsip> ag: hang on - you're on a shared host are you?
[01:43] <Dr-Willis> scott__:  its dr_willis  yes.
[01:44] <scott__> that's how I remembered your handle to be :)
[01:44] <ag> somsip: is my own server
[01:44] <scott__> my poor boy...he's been so good with this new win7 laptop of his...and now it's totally out of commission for days...
[01:45] <ptosiani> thank you urlin2u, I manage to enter the symfony channel
[01:45] <scott__> he's almost religious about running spybot, lavasaoft, firewalls, avg...and still the OS just dies all of a sudden
[01:45] <somsip> ag: so you have built your own server, have apache2 and php5 installed, and you're trying to edit php.ini to change the upload limits?
[01:45] <nivyaj> urlin2u: this is a back up HD-  that i was  using. I have ubuntu on a flash drive to boot, and windows CD. I'm cleaning up the HD to put both OSes on
[01:45] <jagjr> Anyone?
[01:46] <ag> somsip: yes. i want to have my own cloud
[01:46] <scott__> i'm sure he'd love to go linux, but as a budding audio engineer, the software is all proprietary windows stuff
[01:46] <somsip> ag: type "locate php.ini"
[01:46] <urlin2u> nivyaj, you just want the ubuntu on the extra HD?
[01:47] <ag> somsip: nothing happen
[01:47] <urlin2u> nivyaj, I see same HD.
[01:47] <nivyaj> urlin2u:  both OSes.
[01:47] <nivyaj> yea
[01:47] <nivyaj> what happened was the HD crashed. So I've been running ubuntu on a smaller HD till I could deal with the backups.
[01:47] <somsip> ag: dpkg --get-selections | grep php

[01:48] <jagjr> Ubuntu 10.04 and Backtrack 5 R1 won't recognise my Hardrive - It's got windows 7 on it but it saying it's empty
[01:48] <Dr-Willis> scott__:  ive found hard drives to be the weakest link in pc's these days/
[01:48] <jagjr> It's saying it's unallocated space atm
[01:48] <Dr-Willis> scott__:  for every new laptop i get. i always buy a spare hd to image the original to. Just in case.
[01:48] <nivyaj> urlin2u: so i found the article on how to set up the partitions, I just want to know what's  going on there. amd to make sure i'm doing it right
[01:49] <ag> somsip: what i'm supposed to see?
[01:49] <urlin2u> nivyaj, if your hd is a standard mbr setup you just have to be aware of max partition types, ethier 4 primaries which windows runs in, or 3 primaries and a extended that Ubuntu can go in, the extended allows more logical partitions to be added, and can have a ntfs there for a shared partition for ubuntu and windows.
[01:49] <somsip> ag: do I need to put "type this into a terminal"?
[01:49] <somsip> ag: sorry - ignore that. Too hasty. You're loking for php5 being installed
[01:50] <urlin2u> nivyaj, max in how many
[01:50] <ag> somsip: sorry, no, no, i got that. after run the cmd
[01:50] <scott__> Dr-Willis: i would too, but I don't buy them that often, and this is all done/not done by my boy
[01:50] <nivyaj> urlin2u: I cleared all the partitions on it.
[01:50] <scott__> if u can call a 23-year-old a boy :)
[01:50] <ag> somsip: i can see php5 install
[01:50] <somsip> ag: how long ago did you install it?
[01:50] <urlin2u> nivyaj, cool do you understand my post?
[01:51] <nivyaj> no.
[01:51] <nivyaj> :(
[01:51] <varun_> varu
[01:51] <ag> somsip: last night
[01:51] <jagjr> Anyone?
[01:51] <urlin2u> nivyaj, so you have which windows release?
[01:51] <nivyaj> vista 64
[01:51] <artichoku> are there any base64 decodes for ubuntu?
[01:52] <somsip> ag: this is a very long winded way of trying to find out where php.ini is, but maybe you need to 'sudo updatedb' and then 'locate php.ini' again
[01:52] <Guest41698> i am with this problem not::E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[01:52] <urlin2u> nivyaj, you know how to do a custom install of it so the main partition is the size you want so you have unallocated space for ubuntu?
[01:52] <urlin2u> nivyaj, vista that is
[01:53] <dagerik> I need to print all .c files. Why does this fail: ls *.c  ?
[01:54] <nivyaj> urlin2u:  that's actually an issue. the HD is 300 GB- so I wanted to partition it in a way to not lose space.
[01:54] <fluffman> is there a way to revert to kernel 3.0.0-15.25
[01:55] <nivyaj> urlin2u: I was going to do 150 GB for windows (and windows programs), 90 for ubuntu and programs and the remainder for back-up
[01:55] <fluffman> computer just upgraded to 3.0.0-15.26 and it sucks
[01:56] <urlin2u> nivyaj,  I see, you know how to install vista so it is that size on install from the vista partitioning gui?
[01:56] <ag> somsip: it show that is at /etc/php5/apache2filter/php.ini and /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini and /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
[01:57] <somsip> ag: so 'sudo nano  /etc/php5/apache2filter/php.ini" should get you to where you wanted to be originally
[01:57] <jagjr> Ubuntu 10.04 and Backtrack 5 R1 won't recognise my Hardrive - It's got windows 7 on it but it saying it's empty
[01:57] <jagjr> It's saying it's unallocated space atm
[01:57] <urlin2u> nivyaj, you might just get on the #windows channel for tat part really, I can't really explain all of its installation on this channel.
[01:57] <nivyaj>  urlin2u : no.
[01:57] <Dr-Willis> Guest41698:  make sure all other package manager tools are closed.
[01:57] <urlin2u> that#
[01:57] <trism> fluffman: there is only one change from .25 to .26 and it shouldn't mess with anything
[01:58] <urlin2u> !backtrack > jagjr
[01:58] <acerimmer> jagjr: saw this the other night.  YOur ubuntu is 11.10??
[01:59] <fluffman> trism: I had a lot of hacks on my x220 and now I'm getting graphical glitches and half the battery life
[01:59] <goddard> how can i take a picture of just some part that i select?
[01:59] <jagjr> nope 10.04
[01:59] <melkor> What dev package do I need for opengl headers?
[01:59] <acerimmer> jagjr: ok.  first, did you md5sum your iso??
[01:59] <jagjr> urlin2u - Ive tried ubuntu first, no success, then BT ... still none.. so it's an ubuntu issue
[02:00] <jagjr> yes
[02:00] <jagjr> acerimmer yes
[02:00] <acerimmer> jagjr: your partitions are invisible on installation or on liveboot??
[02:00] <urlin2u> jagjr, if your trying to fix ubuntu cool but anything backtrack is not supported is all, I don't make the rules but you will get no help for it here is all just saying. :D
[02:01] <goddard> how can i take a picture of just some part that i select?
[02:01] <jagjr> acerimmer: on liveboot . Ive tried to install but it just says unallocated space
[02:01] <acerimmer> jagjr: confirm: you DO see our partitions on live boot??
[02:02] <jagjr> acerimmer: no
[02:03] <acerimmer> jagjr: suggestion: install via text mode  - little more work but more control.
[02:03] <jagjr> acerimmer: Any reason why it's not recognising my hardrive then? Id like to fix the problem than avoid it
[02:04] <fluffman> trism: thanks. looked back through my logs and found an xorg update as well. I'll try to revert that
[02:04] <acerimmer> jagjr: in 11.10, the gui partition manager didn't see it, but it was visible under gpartd.  Why?  idk.
[02:05] <jagjr> acerimmer : Gparted can't see it aswell
[02:05] <Raymond_>  a tar.bz2 is a archive that i extract then compress and install into ubuntu?
[02:05] <jagjr> acerimmer : Just shows unallocated space with a warning triangle
[02:05] <acerimmer> jagjr: wait i DO remember - it was bcz the HDD had been partiitioned as GPT at some point.
[02:05] <petman> hi, is it possible with apt-get to select a path to install to?  i.e.  apt-get install -p /media/mountpoint/ <packagename>?
[02:06] <Raymond_> has anybody made a program that can convert a tar.bz2 to a .deb file
[02:06] <jagjr> acerimmer: Ive never partitioned my hardrive since ive got it? :L
[02:06] <DasEi> !packaging | Raymond_
[02:07] <acerimmer> jagjr: wait one - looking up the command
[02:07] <DasEi> Raymond_: by the way, what are you missing (concerning earlier qestion about compiling) ?
[02:08] <wolter> does dbus monitor disc insertions?
[02:08] <Raymond_> dasei, what i am trying to do is ./configure, make, make install a tar.bz2, its a driver for the wireless device
[02:09] <DasEi> Raymond_: ah, I see
[02:09] <wolter> Raymond_, make sure it is compatible before installing!
[02:10] <acerimmer> jagjr: sudo fdisk -l should show all partition information.  paste plz
[02:10] <Raymond_> dasei, the directions are confusing to me on this site, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware

[02:22] <ag> somsip: I really like ubuntu. I'm hoping learning more.
[02:22] <acerimmer> jagjr: *facepalm* the unallocated area is the empty area for your new ubuntu partition.
[02:23] <Raymond_> dasei, i dont know what you mean
[02:23] <DasEi> Raymond_: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list,  make sure the lines with restricted in it don't start with an #
[02:23] <jagjr> acerimmer: erm.... No...  My entire HDD is 241GB Windows takes 200GB - I have 30GB free on Windows
[02:24] <flowerpot> In /etc/init.d/skeleton, there is the line [ -r /etc/default/$NAME ] && . /etc/default/$NAME which is described as "# Read configuration variable file if it is present" -- what does the . after the && mean?
[02:24] <Raymond_> dasei, the wireless device doesnt come on when i boot into ubuntu..all right be right back
[02:24] <acerimmer> jagjr: have you sized that windows partition to 30g's already??
[02:25] <acerimmer> jagjr: rephrase have you resized your windows partition??
[02:26] <jagjr> acerimmer: no - there is 30Gb left as free space on windows
[02:26] <Jordan_U> jagjr: Is this drive, or has it ever been, part of a raid array?
[02:26] <jagjr> jordan_U: No - It's a laptop
[02:27] <Jordan_U> jagjr: That's a
[02:27] <Jordan_U> jagjr: ... That's a very odd error.
[02:28] <jagjr> Jordan_U : Your Telling me, Ive been struggling for the past week -_-

[02:30] <Nimanicka> No 4 ACTA
[02:30] <cak3> does anyone know where I can go to get some help with photoshop?
[02:31] <acerimmer> cak3: adobe.com
[02:31] <jagjr> acerimmer: jordan_u : I can View my drive in Disk utility, just not Gparted or Ubuntu Install?
[02:31] <Nimanicka> Try ps #
[02:32] <acerimmer> jagjr: this issue in 10.04 is new to me.  sorry idk
[02:32] <jagjr> Anyone Else?
[02:32] <cak3> acerimmer: Not the website, they wont give me tutorials. thanks though
[02:33] <cak3> anyone else?
[02:34] <XrD> cak3: have you tried Google? "Photoshop tutorials" or anything of the sort..?

[02:37] <acerimmer> cak3: imagemagick
[02:37] <cak3> thank you
[02:38] <acerimmer> jagjr: your in live boot.  no updates will stick
[02:38] <jagjr> acerimmer: But they could fix it that i can install :)
[02:42] <auk> What command can I run to find out my current Display/X manager?
[02:43] <acerimmer> jagjr: suggest you reboot, F6 and install via text only.  if your partitions show up, you're good to go.
[02:43] <Nach0z> auk: xset -q might work
[02:43] <Nach0z> or Ibyss, try xset -q
[02:45] <Nach0z> Ibyss: if that don't work, 'export DISPLAY=":0.0" && xdpyinfo'
[02:46] <Raymond_> dasei, no lsb mods avail. and the second showed nothing
[02:46] <Ibyss> I was hoping to see info on the whole gmd/lightdm thing.
[02:46] <DasEi> Raymond_: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list,  make sure the lines with restricted in it don't start with an #
[02:46] <kfizz> Under the hardware tab in the sound preferences, there's an option for "Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output." Does this use a standard 3.5mm jack or is this just listed in case I had a special jack like SPDIF?
[02:46] <Ibyss> I guess I used wrong terminology to describe it. xD
[02:47] <Raymond_> dasei, does it open getit?
[02:47] <Raymond_> gedit
[02:47] <DasEi> yes, see
[02:47] <DasEi> !repo
[02:48] <DasEi> Raymond_: in the sources list you tell ubuntu where to lookfor software, lines beginning with an '#' are read as comment and won't be processed
[02:51] <DasEi> errr..
[02:53] <mister_m> how do I make the nivdea settings manager not screw things up for me when I put in a second monitor
[02:53] <Nimanicka> What is canonical position aboute : sopa / acta ?
[02:53] <moosiecak> Would anyone be able to offer some help regarding a wubi install through windows 7 that keeps spitting out a log file and Not installing?
[02:54] <Nimanicka> !sopa
[02:54] <Flannel> Nimanicka: That's offtopic for this channel, please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks.
[02:56] <urlin2u> moosiecakes, you might try the ubuntu forums tere are a couple of people there that might know.
[02:56] <zabomber> how do i lock the side panel in 11.10?
[02:56] <Nimanicka> Hmm a freedom is of top ? Qewl story bro . Hope t dont wake up In orson's reality
[02:56] <urlin2u> there*
[02:56] <zabomber> so that it doesnt autohide
[02:56] <moosiecakes> alright, thanks
[02:57] <urlin2u> zabomber, install the compizconfig settings manager it is in the unuty plugin
[02:57] <mafatahna> @zabomber, don't can klik right lock?
[02:57] <urlin2u> unity*
[02:58] <mafatahna> i am sorry, i still use 10.04 :D
[02:58] <urlin2u> mafatahna, if you tab the nic after a few letters it will auto complete
[02:58] <ParkerR> Is there a way to have Ubuntu remember elevated privileges per session like debian?
[03:00] <Ibyss> ParkerR: I thought that's the point of sudo... To later forget for security reason.   If you want to be in root forever, run: sudo su
[03:00] <mafatahna> urlin2u, ok..
[03:00] <Ibyss> ParkerR: Then to leave root, run: exit
[03:01] <urlin2u> mafatahna, not sure if the @ notifies the nic your pinging. :D
[03:01] <Ibyss> mafatahna: Why? o_O
[03:01] <ParkerR> Ibyss, I understand that. What I was thinking was like for when apps want elevated privileges like synaptic and such
[03:01] <mafatahna> urlin2u, hehe.. ok :D
[03:02] <urlin2u> ParkerR, you don't want synaptic elevated.
[03:02] <urlin2u> all the time
[03:02] <ParkerR> urlin2u, I was gonna say XD
[03:02] <ParkerR> Wb almoxarife
[03:03] <Ibyss> synaptic is something I never leave open, or ever use. I use Ubuntu's/mint's easier package manager. :3
[03:03] <Ibyss> But I do not even use that, I prefer commandline apt-get
[03:03] <Bikerbob> anyone help why my make is not working? http://paste.ubuntu.com/816082/
[03:04] <Bikerbob> headers and essential s are upto date and installed.
[03:04] <Bikerbob> but I cant get past this error and I cant figure out why
[03:04] <jnylen> Bikerbob: google the key error message
[03:04] <ParkerR> Ibyss, I find when debugging packages having the search functionality of synaptic helps
[03:04] <jnylen> which is:  implicit declaration of function ‘init_MUTEX’
[03:05] <Ibyss> Ah, yea, then again, I never get into any bugs involving those, but I once got into dependancy hell).                Most of my fixes were:         apt-get -f install
[03:05] <ParkerR> luciferclinton, So you have an evil guy and the devil? XD
[03:06] <jnylen> and in that order?!?
[03:06] <ParkerR> jnylen, Technically reverse order XD
[03:06] <ParkerR> Was trying to make a joke XD
[03:06] <luciferclinton> lucifer = hillary
[03:06] <artichoku> sup ppl
[03:06] <jnylen> lol
[03:06] <ParkerR> luciferclinton, Hehe
[03:07] <urlin2u> ot topic and sexism how becoming
[03:08] <jnylen> what are you, a woman
[03:08] <urlin2u> jnylen, no
[03:09] <Bikerbob> tried..  jnylen, but not sure I understand..
[03:09] <Bikerbob> So there is something I am missing in the kernel that will allow this build?
[03:09] <jnylen> Bikerbob: the third link, when you google that string
[03:10] <jnylen> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog/frandalla-68463/patching-802-11-linux-sta-driver-for-kernel-2-6-37-3558/
[03:10] <jnylen> indicates that you need to change all instances of init_MUTEX to sema_init, and add a second parameter
[03:11] <jnylen> and, if you want to be super nice and helpful, you could submit this as a patch back to the original project
[03:11] <linocisco> hello
[03:12] <linocisco> how to install VZO chat software on ubuntu?
[03:13] <acerimmer> !wine|linocisco
[03:13] <DasEi> linocisco: never heard of it,is it a client ?
[03:13] <acerimmer> linocisco: wine might work.
[03:14] <Bikerbob> thanks for that jnylen, is a Realtek 8176 a broadcom ?? I thought Realtek was its own chipset?
[03:14] <jnylen> Bikerbob: it's certainly plausible that other drivers would have the same issue
[03:14] <em> what is the most recent version of Ubuntu?
[03:14] <DasEi> Bikerbob: no it's a realtek
[03:14] <urlin2u> 11.10
[03:14] <Bikerbob> ok.. so then I am no further ahead then.
[03:14] <em> urlin2u: you think its a good one?
[03:14] <jnylen> Bikerbob: not true, same issue
[03:15] <linocisco> DasEi: www.vzochat.com
[03:15] <DasEi> thanks
[03:15] <urlin2u> em, sure, depends on your needs you familiar with the unity or gnome 3 desktop.
[03:15] <linocisco> DasEi: it is lighter than skype and all other webcam chat application
[03:16] <linocisco> DasEi: work with lesser internet bandwidth
[03:16] <urlin2u> em, lots of other desktops though.
[03:16] <DasEi> linocisco: fyi,pidgin in conjunction with gmail also allows video-chat, though I can't tell about it's footprint
[03:16] <Bikerbob> so try and open and modify the script I have ?? ok.. can look anyway
[03:17] <linocisco> DasEi: what is the meaning of footprint?
[03:17] <DasEi> linocisco: how much ressource it takes
[03:17] <DasEi> linocisco: as in lighteror heavier
[03:18] <linocisco> DasEi: thanks
[03:19] <linocisco> Dear all, I have never been successful using IRC clients to use #ubuntu or other channels in my network
[03:19] <linocisco> that is why , I am to use only webchat.freenode.net
[03:19] <linocisco> could anybody suggest me?
[03:20] <urlin2u> linocisco, what?
[03:21] <zabomber> linocisco: smuxi works perfectly
[03:21] <zabomber> its a client for IRC int he repo
[03:21] <urlin2u> linocisco, you tried xchat I think it is fedora
[03:21] <urlin2u> in*
[03:22] <linocisco> I am sorry. I am now on windows XP. I want to use the one which is working on both linux and windows. Is pidgin ok for that?
[03:23] <Lucain1181> hi
[03:23] <XrD> hi
[03:25] <urlin2u> linocisco, pidgin will run in both never used it though.
[03:25] <linocisco> urlin2u: thanks
[03:25] <linocisco> urlin2u:  to use web in our office network, I need to point proxy server and port + authentication(username/password)
[03:25] <Ibyss> linocisco: Open up Xchat,     and configure server, add  irc.freenode.org             Set port number to 6667            Then connect.            Or simply type: /server irc.freenode.org
[03:25] <urlin2u> linocisco, sure, I see downloads for both anyway.
[03:26] <linocisco> urlin2u: though I have tried entering correct settings, I was never able to connect and use IRC on client
[03:27] <urlin2u> linocisco, could be a block from the office netork, not sure really
[03:27] <urlin2u> network
[03:28] <DasEi> linocisco: yes, pidgin is for xp available, too
[03:29] <DeviceZer0> anyone running fluxbox? Trying to figure out how I can get all my applications to show up in the menu
[03:30] <urlin2u> DeviceZer0, been awhile but I think you have to add them.
[03:30] <DeviceZer0> urlin2u, ...by hand?
[03:30] <DeviceZer0> please dont say by hand lol
[03:30] <urlin2u> DeviceZer0, I believe so, forget how.
[03:30] <DeviceZer0> cuz yea. no f'in way ill be adding each app by hand then manually doing that each time I install something lol.
[03:30] <DeviceZer0> wow.
[03:31] <DeviceZer0> think that'll be a deal breaker for me hehe
[03:31] <urlin2u> DeviceZer0, just the location of the bin to a menu line.
[03:31] <PatrickC> hmm.. im getting an error when trying to use adobe air
[03:31] <urlin2u> DeviceZer0, look for better advice though I could be wrong.
[03:32] <PatrickC> it tells me to make sure that gnome-keyring or kwallet are installed
[03:32] <DeviceZer0> yea. I've come to the conclusion....if its not done automatically....chances of me doing it are slim to none lol
[03:32] <PatrickC> when i ran sudo apt-get install gnome-keyring it told me that it was already installed
[03:33] <defrancisco2> hello
[03:33] <fongweekim> Hi everyone, I need help with Ubuntu 11.11 installation. I had installed it on Acer Aspire 5680. Ubuntu was working well until these 2 new problems developed
[03:34] <DeviceZer0> urlin2u, yea. apprecaite the help....but it seems you may be more or less correct. There seems some hacky 3rd party tools exist...but...yea.....this is 2012 lol...no end user should be having to manually create their own menus...perhaps customizing them...but no user needs to create a whol emenu from scratch
[03:34] <fongweekim> 1) The delete button on my keyboard no longer works. It was working well previously until 3 days ago
[03:34] <DeviceZer0> god I hate gnome3
[03:34] <DeviceZer0> and all its ruined
[03:34] <DeviceZer0> :<
[03:34] <PatrickC> i dont even use gnome anymore (afaik)
[03:34] <PatrickC> i use cinnamon
[03:35] <PatrickC> (not sure which graphics engine its based off of)
[03:35] <fongweekim> 2) On startup, the bios gave an alarm (long didididi sound) and then I need to press Esc to get past it. After which, there are no problems. Anyone knows where is the problem
[03:35] <urlin2u> PatrickC, looks like the fallback on ubuntu.
[03:35] <urlin2u> PatrickC, gnome 2 1/2
[03:36] <PatrickC> but the one thing i dont get with it is why would air be erroring out saying i need gnome-keyring when i have it..?
[03:36] <dies_irae> how to chmod something to be useful for ALL users??
[03:36] <dies_irae> something shared? how to chmod it?
[03:36] <Bikerbob> I am not savy enough to know what the equiv change is in my file jnylen
[03:36] <dies_irae> chmod 666 -R ??
[03:36] <Bikerbob> I tried and it did not work
[03:37] <jnylen> Bikerbob: what did you try?  you changed what to what?
[03:37] <helo1> How do I get static DNS entries to stick in my resolve.conf? It keeps going back to "# Generated by NetworkManager" and then can't resolve anything.
[03:37] <jnylen> helo1: static DNS entries go in /etc/hosts
[03:37] <urlin2u> helo1, I set that in my router myself
[03:37] <Bikerbob> changed init_MUTEX to sema_init
[03:37] <jnylen> unless you are talking about forcing dns servers
[03:37] <jnylen> Bikerbob: you also have to add a second parameter
[03:38] <helo1> Not static entries. Static DNS servers.
[03:38] <artichoku> heyyy patrickc!
[03:38] <artichoku> a name i recognize tonight
[03:38] <jnylen> so,  init_MUTEX(whatever);  becomes  sema_init(whatever, 1);
[03:38] <PatrickC> hey artichoku
[03:38] <artichoku> doooood
[03:38] <Bikerbob> what second parameter.. since the init_MUTEX had no second
[03:38] <PatrickC> artichoku, mind if i ask why you recognize the name? :)
[03:38] <Bikerbob> ,1
[03:38] <Bikerbob> ok
[03:38]  * PatrickC doesnt remember your nick
[03:38] <dies_irae> DNS info goes into /etc/resolv.conf
[03:38] <PatrickC> sorry :)
[03:38] <jnylen> helo1: there is some other file you need to edit
[03:39] <jnylen> h/o, trying to find it
[03:39] <artichoku> because it's a real name
[03:39] <artichoku> not your runofthemill handle
[03:39] <helo1> dies_irae: It always changes back to "# Generated by NetworkManager"
[03:39] <artichoku> and we've goofed off a bit in here
[03:39] <PatrickC> hmm?
[03:39] <artichoku> i'm pretty new
[03:39] <PatrickC> dont remember that.. lol
[03:39] <helo1> jnylen: searches all say the resolv.conf Any ideas?
[03:39] <Bikerbob> so I have some idea of what I did.. what does the ,1 do jynlen
[03:40] <artichoku> i've been having fun with a wannabe blackhat failz0r
[03:40] <artichoku> it's been a good night
[03:40] <jnylen> helo1: can you not set that setting in NetworkManager
[03:40] <jnylen> I forget, I ripped it out because it was pissing me off
[03:40] <helo1> jnylen: how do I do that from ssh/cli?
[03:41] <Bikerbob> so I have some idea of what I did.. what does the ,1 do jnylen
[03:41] <jnylen> Bikerbob: I am not entirely sure
[03:42] <jnylen> it's just an extra parameter that sema_init needs but that init_MUTEX doesn't have
[03:42] <jnylen> helo1: I can't seem to find that information
[03:42] <artichoku> bikerbob i'm sorry to admit i laughed at your name a sec
[03:42] <artichoku> i thought it said bikerboob
[03:43] <jnylen> aha
[03:43] <jnylen> helo1: /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
[03:43] <em> is natty an LTS?
[03:44] <jnylen> helo1: there's a line that says prepend domain-name-servers - uncomment it and change the IP address(es)

[03:44] <urlin2u> em, no 10.04 and 12.04 are though
[03:44] <jnylen> !Natty
[03:45] <helo1> jnylen: that file doesn't exist on my system. the directory is empty

[03:45] <em> 12.04 comes out in April huh?
[03:46] <dies_irae> em: yep, unless there is a worlwide catastrophe.
[03:46] <jnylen> s/unless/when

[03:46] <jnylen> 12.04 will be out and probably 12.10
[03:46] <jnylen> but not 13.04
[03:47] <helo1> jnylen: Ubuntu 11.10 generic
[03:47] <dies_irae> ouch!!
[03:47] <dagerik> Is nano a fine editor for programming?
[03:47] <jnylen> dagerik: not really, you should learn vim or emacs
[03:47] <PatrickC> nano is cool for command line editing IMO
[03:47] <dies_irae> jnylen: that sounds horrible!!
[03:47] <cthompson> dagerik, no, use vi improved
[03:47] <cthompson> dagerik, or are you just trolling cause the question is a bit silly
[03:47] <PatrickC> i just like plain old text editors
[03:47] <dies_irae> vim the way to go
[03:48] <helo1> I like nano :)
[03:48] <PatrickC> i prefer gedit/kate :)
[03:48] <jnylen> joe is pretty good too, good features but not a huge learning curve like vim
[03:48] <cthompson> kate has some nice plugins, but thats not cli
[03:48] <Cyberspaceloa> huge fan of ViM
[03:48] <dies_irae> dagerik: cat > foo  <--- another way
[03:48] <PatrickC> cthompson, i know :)
[03:48] <Cyberspaceloa> it's super quick for coding
[03:48] <cthompson> didn't say you didn't PatrickC
[03:49] <PatrickC> cthompson, i prefer to use the terminal for commands only
[03:49] <dies_irae> nano is weird as hell
[03:49] <PatrickC> i like full editors
[03:49] <cthompson> ahh... see I like vi or vim. not much use for anything else
[03:49] <linocisco> cthompson: use nano
[03:49] <jnylen> helo1: i'm not sure why that would be
[03:50] <dies_irae> if nothing else works there's always m$$$ word
[03:50] <jnylen> on my system, that file comes from package dhcp3-client; do you have that package installed? how about dhcp-client?
[03:50] <cthompson> gross linocisco
[03:50]  * jnylen /kick dies_irae
[03:50] <PatrickC> dies_irae, how dare you mention that horrible excuse for a program
[03:51] <fongweekim> Sorry can anyone help with my keyboard issue whereby Ubuntu can't detect my Del button on Acer Aspire 5680? Or give idea how to resolve whether it is a hardware or software issue
[03:51]  * OficjalnyDaZ reinvites dies_irae
[03:51] <jnylen> fongweekim: sounds like a hardware issue
[03:51] <Bikerbob> well that did it.. going to reboot see if I have wifi
[03:51] <cthompson> lol
[03:51]  * dies_irae run before getting tied to a pole and burned in a pyre
[03:51] <jnylen> but you could try going to the real console (ctrl+alt+f1) log in and see if it works there
[03:51] <Bikerbob> thanks jnylen
[03:51] <jnylen> Bikerbob: you shouldn't really need to reboot
[03:51] <fongweekim> Thanks jnylen. How to test it conclusively
[03:51] <jnylen> you're welcome
[03:52] <chromaticwt> does dell still sell ubuntu with laptops?
[03:52] <dr_willis> fongweekim:  does it work as a backspace?
[03:52] <PatrickC> never knew they did
[03:52] <Bikerbob> how do I test.. just do a lsusb now?
[03:52] <jnylen> Bikerbob: sudo insmod output.ko
[03:52] <jnylen> where output.ko is the kernel module that you built
[03:52] <dies_irae> fongweekim: which key?
[03:52] <fongweekim> dr willis: it does nothing at all. Del key
[03:52] <Bikerbob> i did a make install
[03:52] <dies_irae> use xev to find out the keycode the do some concotion.
[03:52] <Bikerbob> its built into the kernel now right?
[03:52] <jnylen> Bikerbob: oh, maybe that did take care of it then
[03:53] <jnylen> not sure, depends on how they set it up but probably
[03:53] <dies_irae> oh delete key?? not a multimedia key or laptop specific key?
[03:53] <fongweekim> dies_irae: Its the Del key.
[03:53] <michaelgamble> hey
[03:53] <shovell> anyone here had problems playing startrek armada 2 using wine?
[03:53] <Bikerbob> hmm not there in an lsmod
[03:53] <jnylen> fongweekim: yeah try going to the real console
[03:53] <michaelgamble> is their a command i can run in linux to tell if a flavour is in fact ubuntu and what version?
[03:54] <jnylen> Bikerbob: do this from the source code folder: find -iname '*.ko'
[03:54] <jnylen> any results?
[03:54] <dies_irae> shovell: try #wine
[03:54] <fongweekim> Sorry jnylen. I don't get you. am a complete noob. Just switched over
[03:54] <dies_irae> fongweekim: that sounds messed up
[03:54] <shovell> ill check but i think it might be a problem in ubuntu
[03:54] <jnylen> fongweekim: press ctrl+alt+f1, then log in -- you'll want to know how to get back to the graphical environment -- that's alt+f7 or alt+f8
[03:55] <fongweekim> Yes. It's rather painful to work with only the backspace
[03:55] <OficjalnyDaZ> michaelgamble: cat /etc/issue?
[03:55] <jnylen> fongweekim: if it doesn't work in text-only mode then it's a hardware problem
[03:55] <fongweekim> Thanks Jnylen. Will try it out
[03:55] <Bikerbob> ./8192cu.ko
[03:55]  * dies_irae realizes never uses del key
[03:56] <dr_willis> cant say i even use the del key much
[03:56] <jnylen> Bikerbob: sudo insmod 8192cu.ko
[03:56] <shovell> dies_irae, i belive id is a problem with ubuntu
[03:56] <dies_irae> fongweekim: run xev program then type del key
[03:56] <dr_willis> ctrl-h is del or backspace... i recall
[03:56] <jnylen> ctrl+h = backspace
[03:56] <dr_willis> old skool
[03:57] <dies_irae> not even xev picks it up?
[03:57] <Bikerbob> AWSOME!
[03:57] <Bikerbob> thanks again jnylen
[03:57] <jnylen> n/p
[03:57] <Bikerbob> I would never have known about the ,1
[03:57] <jnylen> Bikerbob: I just googled it - I've seen similar stuff before
[03:57] <jnylen> read that forum post again and see if you can spot it
[03:57] <dies_irae> ha ha cool ctrl+h
[03:58] <dies_irae> there's also ctrl+w and ctrl+u
[03:58] <dies_irae> fongweekim: there u go no need for del key :D
[03:59] <michaelgamble> it says Debian GNU/Linux 5.0
[03:59] <Juv1228> hi, just got ubuntu 11.10 installed on my new rig, and im having some audio buzzing problems
[03:59] <DaZ> then it's probably debian gnu/linux 5.0 :x
[04:00] <linocisco> which tablet has durable battery life and good to use?
[04:00] <Juv1228> lspci doesnt show my alc892, which is the onboard
[04:00] <moz`deph> Juv1228: that's Natty Narwhal right?
[04:01] <Juv1228> only shows an "Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller"
[04:01] <Juv1228> moz`deph, oneiric
[04:01] <Juv1228> natty is 11.04
[04:02] <oconnore__> Hi, I recently installed ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop, and now it's won't boot (stuck on the initial boot animation). Any ideas?
[04:02] <Bikerbob> here on wifi.. nice
[04:03] <dies_irae> oconnore__: what sort of ideas??
[04:03] <dagerik> hah, I was on irc from a plane last year
[04:03] <Juv1228> oconnore__, for what its worth, i had a similar issue with some VM's once
[04:03] <fongweekim> thanks everyone
[04:03] <oconnore__> dies_irae: well, preferably ones that resulted in me being able to use my laptop again
[04:03] <Juv1228> check your kernel boot args in grub
[04:04] <oconnore__> Juv1228: what should I be looking for? It's just a stock install.
[04:04] <oconnore__> And it worked for about a week before it suddenly stopped booting.
[04:04] <dies_irae> oconnore__: boot in text mode, check where stuck, problemo solved.
[04:04] <Juv1228> in that case it probably isnt it, mine was an issue with the d-i
[04:04] <oconnore__> dies_irae: It doesn't make it that far, the kernel is not booting
[04:04] <Juv1228> yes it is
[04:05] <Juv1228> if you can get to grub, you can boot in text mode
[04:05] <[[thufir]]> last time when I upgraded, I didn't have to edit fstab.  why now?  http://pastebin.mozilla.org/1460901
[04:05] <Azelphur> Anyone know how I can give a specific user permissions to set a processes niceness without sudo?
[04:05] <oconnore__> Juv1228: eh, I hit alt-f1 and there is no output
[04:05] <oconnore__> i'll try text mode specifically
[04:05] <dies_irae> oconnore__: I am pretty sure is going somewhere
[04:07] <dies_irae> oconnore__: I am note sure in ubuntu but something like this, in grub type ESC then pick text mode. Or if that's not an opiton type E in the first line the add some text mode to kernel optinos
[04:10] <malikmasr> can someone please help me trouble shoot my l2tpd vpn, it refuses to connect, and i have no idea why
[04:12] <jnylen> Azelphur: define a sudoers rule
[04:12] <Azelphur> jnylen: isn't there a group the user can be added to to be allowed to set a processes niceness?
[04:12] <jnylen> they will still use sudo, but they will only be allowed to execute a very limited set of commands
[04:12] <oconnore__> dies_irae: wow, good call. I thought alt-f1 to escape the splash would show me the same thing... It was trying to automount an ecryptfs and the password prompt was hidden. Stupido
[04:12] <jnylen> Azelphur: maybe, I'm not aware of one
[04:13] <Azelphur> *shrug*
[04:13] <dies_irae> oconnore__: glad that worked. I've been booting into text mode since ever, so that's the first thing to do that came to mind.
[04:13] <fongweekim> Thanks jnylen for your help
[04:14] <jnylen> fongweekim: any progress?
[04:15] <dcplaya> anyone know why when I remote desktop into my 11.10 ubuntu PC, there isnt any way to run apps via gui?

[04:19] <Mariorocks0099> Hello ubuntu users!
[04:20] <Mariorocks0099> I am installing ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop computer tomorrow.. it is a Compaq Presario S4020WM..
[04:21] <DaZ> why not something newer than 10.10? :x
[04:21] <Mariorocks0099> here is a lot more info about the computer http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/product?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&product=326832    I am wondering.. Since the live CD works correctly should the operating system  install correctly?
[04:24] <FastPutty> how can i reconfigure my.cnf in mysql torught apt-get
[04:24] <FastPutty> mysql server doesnt want to start anymore after upgrading from 10.04 to 12.04
[04:24] <shaneo> 12.04 is in beta
[04:25] <shaneo> 11.10 is latest stable
[04:25] <Mariorocks0099> answer my question! :p
[04:25] <FastPutty> how  can i resinatlla  package then?
[04:28] <Mariorocks0099> !help
[04:28] <rasta1> holaaaaa
[04:28] <Mariorocks0099> answer my question  should ubuntu install if the live CD works on the computer?
[04:29] <gardar> Mariorocks0099: yes, running off livecd is slow
[04:29] <urlin2u> Mariorocks0099, whats going on/
[04:29] <urlin2u> ?
[04:29] <gardar> having ubuntu installed is much faster
[04:29] <Mariorocks0099> I'm planning to install ubuntu.  since winXP is giving errors...
[04:29] <Mariorocks0099> the live CD works
[04:30] <Mariorocks0099> i am wanting to know will ubuntu install correctly on the old 2003 computer?
[04:30] <pangolin> Mariorocks0099: if everything is working in live cd then yes.
[04:30] <gardar> Mariorocks0099: if the livecd works perfectly, then there is no reason why it shouldn't work once installed
[04:30] <cyanideillusions> yo
[04:32] <Mariorocks0099> ok thanks for the help :)
[04:33] <Mariorocks0099> it will be good to get away from winXP's windows file protection  windows files are missing popups
[04:35] <Mariorocks0099> sometimes but very rarely on the live CD i get busybox thingy..
[04:36] <Mariorocks0099> what is busybox screen thingy  anyways?

[04:45] <doug___> what the difference between gnome and x11
[04:45] <doug___> ?
[04:46] <aszurom> doug - x11 is the graphical desktop system, and gnome is a window manager that runs on top of that
[04:47] <aszurom> gnome, kde, enlightenment, etc all rely on the common x11 stuff
[04:48] <doug___> i just installed ubuntu server I'm having fun with the ssh - but is it possible to get a GUI windows with it
[04:48] <doug___> ?
[04:48] <SeaPhor> yes
[04:48] <dwon> doug___: run tasksel (as root)
[04:48] <doug___> i tried several whay
[04:48] <doug___> ways
[04:49] <doug___> thanks
[04:49] <doug___> bro

[04:52] <doug___> i meant sparc
[04:54] <ag> I need help. I have a server with two hard drive, how i can use the secondary hard drive as the storage? actually i'm building my owncloud server
[04:55] <doug___> why are people winning so much over unity
[04:55] <doug___> ?
[04:55] <doug___> is it that bad
[04:55] <doug___> ?
[04:55] <FloodBot1> doug___: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:55] <paulus68> ag: create a mountpoint to that drive and  direct your backup program towards this mountpoint
[04:55] <doug___> sorry
[04:56] <urlin2u> doug___, hard to change, adaptation can be a struggle, but this is a #ubuntu-offtopic topic
[04:56] <urlin2u> :D
[04:58] <doug___> i got 4 computers with same configuration - trying to make a cluster - any suggestions?
[04:58] <magicJ> how can I trigger on the event of the lap top lid being opened?
[04:58] <ag> paulus68: i'm new in ubuntu. how i can do that? Thanks
[04:58] <linocisco> ag: me too
[04:58] <doug___> all 4 computers have 500gb is it possible to link them together so it looks like one?
[04:59] <Hetep> hola, am getting good connection for various programs e internet browsers are not working. Can a person assist?
[05:00] <navatwo> Hey, so I accidentally upgraded.. now I don't appear to have nVidia drivers and can not load the regular interface. Any help?
[05:00] <tristan3199> i use irssi. new to it tho.. how do i change my default nick
[05:01] <urlin2u> !nomodeset | navatwo
[05:01] <rhom> default Tibetan font kinda gloomy  something like this "ཨོཾ" any idea to fix it?
[05:01] <cainz> are there any gotchas for setting static IP? I followed the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html but I can no longer connect to internet. Any ideas?
[05:01] <paulus68> ag: you start with sudo mkdir /mnt/backup  this is creating a folder in mnt with the name backup
[05:01] <navatwo> urlin2u: I don't have a GUI at the moment.
[05:02] <navatwo> urlin2u: I'm running irssi from a tty
[05:02] <cainz> if i am using a usb network adapater, will that affect how i need to set up a static ip?
[05:02] <me0h> Hi Everyone!
[05:02] <urlin2u> navatwo, you don't need one you can put npmodeset in the kernel at the grub menu.
[05:02] <ag> paulus68: and after that?
[05:02] <urlin2u> nomodeset*
[05:02] <navatwo> okay
[05:02] <navatwo> so just put that in the boot params?
[05:03] <paulus68> ag: what is the name of your 2nd harddrive? normally it should be something like /dev/sdX
[05:03] <urlin2u> navatwo, hit e for edit and use the arrow keys to navigate to the kernel where it says no splash and put in nomodeset.
[05:04] <urlin2u> in the kernel that is
[05:04] <me0h> anyone know how to find if no key is pressed while terminal is in 'raw' mode?
[05:05] <ag> paulus68: i dont remember, i think the format is ntfs, the server was a windows before
[05:06] <paulus68> ag: type in sudo fdisk -l
[05:07] <paulus68> ag: is you second harddrive listed there?
[05:08] <wifioregon> I have ubuntu 10.04 and 11.10 installed side by side.  I noticed now I have the option of going back to the old 2.6 kernel but still use 11.10.  It works great except my builtin wifi doesnt work, but my usb wifi does.  Everything works great when I use the new kernel with 11.10 but when I use the old kernel with 11.10, not so much.
[05:08] <ag> paulus68: it show two
[05:09] <Corey> wifioregon: Yes, older kernels and newer hardware.... :-)
[05:09] <ag> paulus68: one is /dev/sda and the other is /dev/sdb
[05:09] <wifioregon> Corey: but when I use 10.04 with the old kernel it works great with both my wifi adapters.
[05:10] <paulus68> ag: type in df -h is your drive shown there the sdb one
[05:10] <wifioregon> Is there a way to get 11.10 with the old kernel working with both my wifi adapters? or am I stuck using 10.04?  Whats the downside to using 10.04? it seems WAY more stable
[05:11] <urlin2u> wifioregon, have you considered getting the 11.10 kernel working?
[05:11] <ag> paulus68: no
[05:11] <doug___> they don't care
[05:12] <wifioregon> urline2u: the 11.10 kernel wont work with MANY programs of mine...no patches available
[05:12] <urlin2u> wifioregon, okay then.:D
[05:12] <paulus68> ag: sudo mount -a /dev/sdb1 /mnt/backup
[05:13] <wifioregon> I guess I'm stuck going back and forth between 10.04 and 11.10...I really hope 12.04 is more stable than 11 has been. I know its supposed to be a stable release...(*keeps fingers crossed, and waits till april)
[05:13] <vaev> ubuntu uses UUID for partitions instead of device names in /etc/fstab.. I'm trying to replicate that behaviour in a custom system. does mount understand UUID out of the box and is it related to a setting in kernel?
[05:14] <ag> paulus68: i forgot to mention that under the system name theres one that say extended and is /dev/sda2
[05:15] <ag> paulus68: and the other say Linux
[05:16] <paulus68> ag: do you work with desktop ubuntu or server?
[05:16] <ag> paulus68: ubuntu server
[05:17] <Pharaoh> Hello
[05:17] <doug___> if i have 4 computers is it possible to join all 4 hd so they look like one?
[05:17] <Pharaoh> Can anyone help me? I need help with my behavioral problems and need some self-help advice.
[05:17] <doug___> yep i can help join the psychiatrist room
[05:17] <wifioregon> Pharaoh...try ubuntu-offtopic...
[05:18] <wifioregon> Pharaoh: I really like Smart recovery http://www.smartrecoveryforum.org ..they have a chat room
[05:18] <wifioregon> Pharaoh: its a secular science based group
[05:18] <paulus68> ag: sudo mkdir /mnt/disk2
[05:19] <paulus68> ag: sudo mount - a /dev/sda2 /mnt/disk2
[05:19] <paulus68> ag: cd /mnt/disk2
[05:19] <Pharaoh> Wifi thank you brother.
[05:19] <Pharaoh> Is there a psychiatrist room?
[05:19] <wifioregon> Pharaoh: they use congnitive therapy methods and is very well done
[05:19] <FastPutty> 12.04 is save to use?
[05:19] <urlin2u> Pharaoh, nop and #ubuntu-offtopic is not as described
[05:20] <urlin2u> wifioregon, please don't do that.
[05:20] <paulus68> ag: ls -al
[05:20] <Pharaoh> urlin2u what do you mean?
[05:20] <urlin2u> Pharaoh, your being liued to.
[05:20] <urlin2u> lied
[05:21] <paulus68> ag: does this show the content of your harddrive you had under windows?
[05:21] <urlin2u> Pharaoh, if you really need help see a counselor.
[05:21] <Pharaoh> I'm too broke man!
[05:21] <Pharaoh> I need help understanding why I'm so unproductive.
[05:21] <Pharaoh> And why my brain is always in auto-pilot mode.
[05:22] <urlin2u> Pharaoh, your not going to find out why on the irc.
[05:22] <ag> paulus68: this is what it say:  total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2012-01-24 23:18 .
[05:22] <Pharaoh> :(
[05:22] <paulus68> ag: was there something on it before you changed to ubuntu?
[05:23] <ag> paulus68: no it was empty
[05:23] <paulus68> Pharaoh: go to one of your best mates/parents and try to get some advice from him/her
[05:24] <paulus68> ag: ok then this is normal so if you type in df -h does it show now 2 or 3 harddrives?
[05:26] <ag> paulus68: it show just one /dev/sda1
[05:27] <tristan3299> hello, looking to find out what file contains the info for my default file browser setting
[05:29] <paulus68> ag: sudo mount -a /dev/sda2 /mnt/disk2
[05:30] <ag> paulus68: it say you must specify the filesystem type
[05:31] <tristan3199> why is it that dolphin wont show any files unless under root???
[05:31] <paulus68> ag: that's out of my league here
[05:31] <paulus68> !fstab | ag
[05:32] <tristan3199> anybody here familiar with using other file managers than nautilus.... im trying to figure out a few small issues.. first is why wont dolphin show any files with out being in root..
[05:33] <linocisco> how could I use real photoshop in ubuntu 11.10? i dont like GIMP or others
[05:33] <linocisco> using wine is so slow like using on VM
[05:33] <somsip> linocisco: use wine - some version of CS apparently run fine
[05:34] <tristan3199> linocisco: what about playonlinux..
[05:34] <hiddensoul> linocisco, short of using wine or VM there is no other way to run PS in linux
[05:34] <lagbox> hello ... just upgraded to 11.04 ... how do i remove this piece of crap desktop interface and get my normal desktop and panels back ive been using for ever ?
[05:34] <tristan3199> does anybody know what may be causing dolphin to not be able to operate unless in root???
[05:35] <somsip> !nounity | lagbox
[05:35] <lagbox> thx :)
[05:35] <somsip> lagbox: sorry - !classic would have been more helpful for 11.04
[05:35] <lagbox> gotcha
[05:36] <lagbox> yea quite a shock when i just booted back up
[05:36] <tristan3199> hey i dont want to flood.. if anybody would just respond and say they have no idea ill go away.. and just figure this out solo.. but help would be nice..
[05:37] <tristan3199> i am trying to understand why dolphin wont run correctly unless as a root user
[05:37] <NastyNaz> im having file permission nightmares, can anyone help please?
[05:37] <genewitch> tristan3199: dolphin the emulator?
[05:37] <linocisco> is there any tools to convert pdf to ms word file?
[05:37] <tristan3199> genewitch: the file browser
[05:38] <NastyNaz> i have a file in /var/www that is written by user 'mc5', however www-data needs to be able to read the file. how can i make that happen?
[05:38] <genewitch> tristan3199: oh. no idea. does it open any ports?
[05:38] <NastyNaz> if I CHOWN the file mc5 will overwrite it with its own permissions
[05:38] <genewitch> NastyNaz: add www-data to the same group as mc5
[05:38] <lagbox> somsip, can you give me more info for 11.04
[05:38] <NastyNaz> genewitch: how can i do that?
[05:38] <somsip> !classic | lagbox
[05:38] <genewitch> NastyNaz: man gpasswd
[05:38] <lagbox> thx :)
[05:38] <NastyNaz> genewitch: thanks
[05:39] <lagbox> awesome .. brb
[05:39] <somsip> lagbox: gah - doesn't help nuch either. Basically, when you log into GDM, you should have a drop down at the bottom and you can chose Gnome Classic from there
[05:39] <tristan3199> genewitch: not really sure what you mean by opening ports.. its not related to anything online
[05:40] <NastyNaz> how can i list all current groups? if i make a new group and add users A and B, do members of that group automatically have all permissions of A and B?
[05:41] <makara> hi. I can't turn off the standard toolbar. It keeps reappearing, floated in the middle of the screen. I'm on Ubuntu 11.10
[05:41] <tristan3199> anybody familiar with dolphin??
[05:41] <makara> on LibreOffice
[05:41] <somsip> NastyNaz: cat /etc/group. And, no
[05:42] <tristan3199> or even knowledge of file permissions in nautilus might point me in the right direction
[05:42] <NastyNaz> whats the command to create a group?
[05:43] <lagbox> thx for that ... i guess i have to setup all my old compiz settings again aswell
[05:43] <tristan3199> everytime i open dolphin in usr mode it doesnt show any files.. but in root it works perfectly.. what could be going on??
[05:44] <lagbox> how do you add the ... shutdown/lock/logout thing back to the gnome panel ?
[05:44] <makara> NastyNaz: groupadd
[05:44] <tristan3199> lagbox: they changed the panel a bit.. try alt + right click
[05:44] <tristan3199> lagbox: then choose add to panel
[05:44] <makara> NastyNaz: I found it with 'apropos group'
[05:44] <lagbox> they are seperate items
[05:45] <labkom> waw
[05:45] <labkom> good
[05:45] <tristan3199> lagbox: im wrong accually, ill click around for a bit..
[05:45] <lagbox> there used to be a default one ... that would let you do everything ...   thx tristan3199
[05:46] <NastyNaz> i dont get it, i made the group 'mapgroup' and did 'usermod -g mapgroup mc5' but under /etc/group mc5 doesnt show up as having a group
[05:47] <genewitch> tristan3199: then i'd google it, maybe that version is broken or something, or maybe it needs to run as root once to do something, who knows
[05:47] <tristan3199> lagbox: right click the bottom panel.. then click add to panel
[05:47] <genewitch> NastyNaz: look under mapgroup
[05:48] <Gskellig> if i have ./executable where do I put it so I can run it anywhere?
[05:48] <tristan3199> lagbox: while holding alt
[05:48] <genewitch> NastyNaz: it looks like mapgroup:abunchofcrapnumbers:user1,user2,user3,
[05:48] <NastyNaz> i did it just says mapgroup:x:1003:
[05:48] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Did it just start happening?
[05:48] <Gskellig>  /usr/bin ?
[05:48] <somsip> Gskellig: somewhere in your path, possibly ~/bin or /usr/local/bin if you want it to be widely available
[05:48] <tristan3199> bobo37773: yep..
[05:48] <lagbox> tristan ... using classic
[05:48] <lagbox> just right click
[05:49] <tristan3199> lagbox: yeah.. its picky about where you click.. i just clicked in the middle of the empty space with all my windows minimized
[05:49] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Did you try renaming the config files so that the program is forced to recreate them? That is probably where I would start. Maybe reinstalling it too
[05:49] <mark_morcom> hI - Please help - I am using Ubuntu Oneiric and my keypad stopped working but now it cotrols my mouse - I found some Hardy fixes for the same problem, but it does not work - The Hardy solution was Ctrl+Shift+Numlock
[05:49] <NastyNaz> I fixed it, I had to do 'usermod -a -G mapgroup mc5'
[05:49] <mark_morcom> How can I fix it
[05:50] <tristan3199> bobo 37773: do you know where to locate said files.. i have looked for them but with no luck finding them yet..
[05:50] <mark_morcom> Oh, Im using Gnome  and not Unity
[05:50] <lagbox> lets get passed the clicking part ... what option do you see that combines logout/shutdown/etc ... into one item like the default panel
[05:50] <mark_morcom> *Gnome 3
[05:51] <bobo37773> None in $HOME?
[05:51] <bobo37773> tristan3199: None in $HOME?
[05:51] <tristan3199> lagbox: its in the list that pops up.. ill look
[05:51] <tristan3199> bobo37773: ill unhide my files and double check real quick..
[05:52] <lagbox> nope it is not
[05:52] <bobo37773> tristan3199: If not there maybe ~/.config/ or /etc/
[05:52] <NastyNaz> ok still doesnt fix problem. When I run a program on mc5 it alters files in /var/www such that the owner and group become 'mc5' - 'www-data' still cant access the file. any ideas how to fix?
[05:53] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Also, are you loading it from a shortcut somewhere or straight from the terminal? If you load it in the terminal is there no terminal output?
[05:53] <lagbox> and what the poo is with it adjusting my compiz settings ... every damn time, its getting old this game
[05:54] <mark_morcom> How do I disable Mouse Keys in Oneiric with Gnome 3 and Not UNITY?
[05:55] <Ben64> mark_morcom: alt+shift+numlock ?
[05:55] <tristan3199> bobo3773: yes there is output.. errors... ill put one in here..
[05:55] <sysRPL> hello
[05:55] <tristan3199> lagbox: seems that they dont have the one your talking about now.. but its more customizable i guess...
[05:56] <sysRPL> tristan3199: hey man
[05:56] <androidbruce> could anyone assist me in setting up my ubuntu server as my webhost and nameserver
[05:56] <tristan3199> sysRPL: yea
[05:56] <sysRPL> tristan3199: you need to fix your internet router
[05:56] <sysRPL> tristan3199: i cna see it from here
[05:56] <lagbox> no it is still there .. just not in the menu .. i had this issue before the upgrade ... when the panel doesnt load correctly it just starts removing sh...stuff
[05:57] <sysRPL> http://router.codebot.org
[05:57] <tristan3199> sysRPL: how do i fix that.. and what can you do with it???
[05:57] <sysRPL> i can pretty much screw you ... you need to fix that asap
[05:57] <lagbox> whats the deal with unity anyway ... reminds me of an osx clone
[05:58] <tristan3199> sysRPL: how where u able to notice that?
[05:58] <sysRPL> with the finger command
[05:59] <tristan3199> dolphin(13385): No ksycoca4 database available!
[06:00] <bobo37773> tristan3199: That is the error when you run it as normal user?
[06:00] <tristan3199> sysRPL: thank you.. how do i correct this??
[06:00] <tristan3199> bobo37773: correct
[06:00] <tristan3199> bobo37773: or the most significant one.. there are a few..
[06:01] <tristan3199> bobo37773: screen fulls
[06:02] <makara_> androidbruce: a very unlikely request
[06:02] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Do you run kde or just dolphin by itself?
[06:03] <androidbruce> makara_, yeah
[06:03] <tristan3199> bobo37773: just dolphin,, should i show you a couple of the other errors..
[06:03] <androidbruce> makara_, just need some direction
[06:03] <tristan3199> dolphin(13456)/kdecore (KConfigSkeleton) KCoreConfigSkeleton::writeConfig:
[06:03] <tristan3199> QFile::remove: Empty or null file name
[06:04] <androidbruce> makara_, i know how to setup apache2 and sql, but what about nameservers
[06:04] <lagbox> whats the deal with losing all your configurations after upgrades .... how does that make any sense at all
[06:05] <tristan3199> sysRPL: how do i hide??
[06:05] <makara_> androidbruce: http://nixcraft.com/getting-started-tutorials/525-ubuntu-linux-setup-configure-domain-name-server-bind.html
[06:05] <lagbox> has compiz been replaced ?
[06:06] <genewitch> NastyNaz: you ahve to put www-data,mc5 in that group entry
[06:06] <makara_> lagbox: no
[06:06] <genewitch> NastyNaz: use gpasswd or just edit the file with sudo nano
[06:06] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Do you have a command on your system called "kbuildsycoca"?
[06:07] <lagbox> then why does a new version of gnome remove my settings
[06:07] <Jesseh> Hello can someone please tell me what --user does and what the local directory is primarily used for
[06:07] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Maybe kbuildsycoca4
[06:08] <somsip> lagbox: no, just some functions are less than compatible with 11.04, even if you back out of Unity
[06:08] <makara_> Ubuntu is pushing for its own interface with Unity
[06:08] <Jesseh> .local?
[06:09] <lagbox> what is the benefit to unity, because i dont see it and already switched back to classic
[06:09] <somsip> Jesseh: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ will tell you about local
[06:09] <wolfmanz> unity is for tablets:)
[06:10] <tristan3199> bobo37773: trying to create local folder /home/tristan/.kde/cache-tristan-LT20: Permission denied
[06:10] <Jesseh> Alright, what do I hit when im on that page
[06:10] <Jesseh> im lost already ahha
[06:10] <somsip> lagbox: a significant proportion of users stay with it and it seems to be the fixed way forward for stock ubuntu installs
[06:10] <lagbox> i see
[06:10] <Jesseh> the PDF is fine i guess
[06:10] <bobo37773> tristan3199: What is that from? The command I gave you?
[06:10] <androidbruce> thanks makara
[06:10] <androidbruce> makara, this bind config is a bit complex eh?
[06:11] <tristan3199> yep: i just have kybuildsycoca4
[06:11] <lagbox> is unity gnome3 or are they seperate entities ?
[06:11] <tristan3199> sysRPL: any advice?
[06:11] <somsip> lagbox: separate
[06:11] <tristan3199> bobo37773: correct
[06:11] <makara> androidbruce: I leave it to OpenDNS
[06:11] <lagbox> am i losing something besides the unity interface by using classic ?
[06:12] <rigved> !unity | lagbox
[06:12] <makara> lagbox: you lose plenty. just set the Unity Launcher to hide, install Docky and customize the heck out of compiz
[06:12] <rigved> !gnome3 | lagbox
[06:13] <makara> androidbruce: why you setting your own dns may I ask?
[06:13] <lagbox> that doesn't make any sense .... at all
[06:13] <somsip> lagbox: it is a matter of personal preference. Unity is moving forward with things like the global menu bar, lenses and the hub. You may not get any of these without unity, and possibly other functionality
[06:13] <androidbruce> makara, want to host my own site completely from home.
[06:13] <androidbruce> makara, i have a commercial account with static ip at home
[06:13] <tristan3199> bobo37773: but there is no home/tristan folder existing
[06:14] <lagbox> unity is the dfault ui since 11.04 ... gnome3 is the desktop environment on which unity is based ... gnome 3 is not supported b y 11.04 and may break your system
[06:14] <thrillERboy> Hi Guys, How do I login to a remote SSH with my SSH Keys, the remote server is set up with my keys.
[06:14] <ro0ot> Hey, I was wondering if there is a way I can change my gnome (ubuntu 9) to unity without upgrading...is this possible?
[06:15] <hallow> Hey, I was wondering if there is a way I can change my gnome (ubuntu 9) to unity without upgrading...is this possible?**
[06:15] <tristan3199> bobo37773: should i create one?? and include a file by that name at the path its looking for??
[06:15] <hallow> sorry for the double message
[06:15] <hallow> I just had some lag.
[06:15] <somsip> lagbox: unity is a bit like G3 in concept and design, that the similarity ends there as far as compatibility is concerned. G3 is still in beta for 11.10 AFAIK so it cannot be recommended
[06:16] <lagbox> well that makes more sense
[06:16] <kroonrs> thrillERboy: if your public key has been added to your user accounts' authorized_keys in .ssh , you should simply be able to ssh <username>@<host>
[06:17] <makara> androidbruce: still not sure why you need a nameserver for that. Unless you've got a LAN tucked behind the server that needs some serious routing.
[06:17] <bobo37773> tristan3199: What? How could you not have a home folder?
[06:17] <rigved> lagbox: in 11.04, unity was based on gnome2. since 11.10, unity is based on gnome3. gnome3 is only supported since 11.10, not on 11.04 or before as it conflicts with gnome2.
[06:17] <sanu> join
[06:17] <tristan3199> bobo37773: i have a home folder.. but there is no folder named tristan inside of it..
[06:17] <androidbruce> makara, hosting requires nameserver, how can I host without a nameserver?
[06:17] <sanu> hello
[06:17] <somsip> androidbruce: you can't. Look at a service like DynDNS or Route53
[06:18] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Did you create a user named tristan in the past?
[06:18] <thrillERboy> kroonrs: My key is .ssh directory with id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. Should I manually add those keys to user accounts?
[06:18] <Ben64> androidbruce: your registrar should have nameservers you can use
[06:18] <androidbruce> i used dyndns when I had a dyanmic ip somsip
[06:18] <lagbox> so i guess i might as well continue my upgrade chain to 11.10
[06:18] <androidbruce> Ben64, AH true
[06:18] <androidbruce> Ben64, then just have the DNS point to my home IP
[06:18] <somsip> androidbruce: they provide a nameserver service for custom domains IIRC
[06:18] <androidbruce> and config apache
[06:18] <hallow> Hey, I was wondering if there is a way I can change my gnome (ubuntu 9) to unity without upgrading...is this possible?
[06:19] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Open a terminal and type "pwd"
[06:19] <lagbox> hallow, why would you want to
[06:19] <tristan3199> bobo37773: i apoligize.. i do have home/tristan.. and also home/home  it seemed i was in the wrong spot lookin around.. sorry
[06:19] <Ben64> androidbruce: home based servers aren't a very good idea though
[06:19] <NastyNaz> how do i use pipe properly? nano | locate php.ini <-- doesnt work
[06:19] <androidbruce> Ben64, commercial internetz with no cap
[06:19] <somsip> hallow: no
[06:19] <kroonrs> thrillERboy: I guess those keys are on your local PC, and you want to be able to ssh to a server.  In that case, you've got to put the contents of id_rsa.pub into .ssh/authorized_keys in the home dir of your account on the server
[06:19] <androidbruce> Ben64, I am a business essentially
[06:19] <hallow> lagbox: I have modified my kernel to meet specific needs that would be a paint to attempt with the new OS.
[06:19] <Ben64> androidbruce: static ip?
[06:19] <androidbruce> it's not as "reliable" I suppose
[06:19] <androidbruce> Ben64, yup
[06:19] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Try this: Rename your .kde folder to .kde.backup or whatever and rerun the command
[06:19] <seanism> i found a great tutorial on SSH
[06:20] <Ben64> androidbruce: what kind of bandwidth?
[06:20] <seanism> keys
[06:20] <major> HELLO... I need help... I can't ssh my servers
[06:20] <lagbox> hallow, no ... why would you want unity is my question ... just wondering which feature you are looking for that it provides
[06:20] <androidbruce> Ben64, 25/12
[06:20] <androidbruce> Ben64, 25 down and 12 up
[06:20] <hallow> lagbox: it just looks nice, really.
[06:20] <kroonrs> major: can you ping your server, or access a website on the server?
[06:20] <sanu> haii
[06:20] <makara> androidbruce: if a user can find your nameserver, why can't they find your website?
[06:20] <hallow> lagbox: do you know of any tutorials that exist for it?
[06:20] <seanism> http://troy.jdmz.net/rsync/index.html
[06:20] <tristan3199> bobo37773: when i try to enter the folder .kde it says You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of ".kde".
[06:21] <lagbox> NastyNaz, pipe goes left to right
[06:21] <androidbruce> makara, they can. I was just trying to go about it the "proper" way
[06:21] <major> kroonrs: no no I lost the keyring because I formatted my netbook
[06:21] <Ben64> androidbruce: not bad for a small site, yeah just set the ip on your registrar and set up apache
[06:21] <lagbox> hallow, no not at all ... if there is even one out there
[06:21] <smp4488> im trying to cross compile a kernel for arm and im get weird errors http://pastebin.com/r9Ej93GH
[06:21] <androidbruce> Ben64, yeah
[06:21] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Then use root to rename directory
[06:21] <tristan3199> bobo37773: awsome.. will do
[06:22] <lagbox> hallow, the ubuntu forums would be a good place to start
[06:22] <kroonrs> major: so the problem is that you have forgotten your passwords?
[06:22] <NastyNaz> lagbox: so how do I get nano to open the output from 'locate php.ini' ?
[06:22] <hallow> lagbox: thanks
[06:22] <major> I know the passwords kroonrs but I can't access
[06:22] <bobo37773> tristan3199: sudo mv /home/tristan/.kde /home/tristan/.kde.backup
[06:23] <lagbox> NastyNaz, read the man on nano and see if you can actually pass it data like that ... if not put the output into a file and nano the file
[06:23] <kroonrs> major: what happens if you type ssh <username>@<host> ?
[06:23] <makara> major: you need to login into your host and reset the ssh details
[06:23] <tristan3199> bobo37773: done
[06:23] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Are you still getting the same error?
[06:23] <lagbox> and now my computer doesn't know what to do with certain files ... yay for that
[06:24] <lagbox> if im just going to have to reconfigure everything after an upgrade im just going to format and do a clean install
[06:24] <tristan3199> bobo37773: i can enter the .kde file now but still empty windows..
[06:24] <major> kroonrs & makara: I created an id_rsa key and server support replaced the old key in "authorized_keys" but I'm still getting (access denied)
[06:25] <bobo37773> tristan3199: you should not be able to enter .kde if it does not exist. How did you recreate it?
[06:25] <lagbox> Gskellig, make up your mind
[06:25] <Gskellig> sorry
[06:25] <NiteHawk> hi
[06:26] <lagbox> i was kidding :)
[06:26] <makara> major: download it again and put it in .ssh folder
[06:26] <NiteHawk> can yall help me
[06:26] <tristan3199> bobo37773: i opened a file with dolphin.. did i jump the gun
[06:26] <bobo37773> tristan3199: With kbuildsycoca?
[06:26] <lagbox> NiteHawk, whats your question
[06:26] <tristan3199> i removed the file..
[06:26] <NiteHawk> i cant connect to my home server
[06:26] <major> makara: download what exactly?
[06:27] <Gskellig> theres a nick war going on in another channel
[06:27] <Gskellig> I'll stop lurking here so it won't bug you lol
[06:27] <makara> major: the id_rsa key
[06:27] <tristan3199> bobo37773: do i need kbuildsycoca or will kbuildsycoca4 be enough
[06:27] <lagbox> NiteHawk, okay ...
[06:27] <NiteHawk> aurora.ca.us.serenity-irc,net 6667
[06:27] <major> makara: dones aroud 3-4 times and still the same thing
[06:27] <bobo37773> tristan3199: no kbuildsyscoca4 is probably right
[06:28] <kroonrs> major: can't you get server support to remove all your keys, so that you can login with your password?  Then you can manually set up the keys yourself?
[06:28] <tristan3199> bobo37773: should i type kbuildsycoca4 in the teminal now...
[06:28] <kroonrs> major: or do you have multiple keys authorized?  In that case, they may have replaced the wrong one?
[06:28] <major> makara: I booted server on rescue and did it myself 3-4 times
[06:28] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Yeah, give it a shot
[06:28] <lagbox> NiteHawk, you have to be more specific than that
[06:28] <lagbox> NiteHawk, what is the problem
[06:29] <tristan3199> bobo37773: thank you so much... its good now..
[06:29] <NiteHawk> i cant logon days server not found
[06:29] <NiteHawk> sats
[06:29] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Dolphin is working correctly now?
[06:29] <lagbox> NiteHawk, can't connect from where
[06:29] <lagbox> NiteHawk, what OS ... what OS are you on ... isp ... etc etc
[06:30] <NiteHawk> jome
[06:30] <tristan3199> bobo37773: yes it is...  is there a way to make it default over nautilus..
[06:30] <NiteHawk> home
[06:30] <lagbox> NiteHawk, you can't connect to a computer at your house from your house ?
[06:30] <tristan3199> bobo37773: i have managed to make the "places" drop down menu use dolphin but not the desktop yet
[06:30] <Hyper_Sha> Hi Guys, does anyone knows how to split a 5GB txt file into smaller sizes? like 2GB each?
[06:30] <major> kroonrs: the weird thing: I created another key outside ~/.ssh and it worked... also the copied the denied id_rsa file outside ~/.ssh and it worked too
[06:30] <NiteHawk> ;ey me try again
[06:30] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Of course. There are a couple of ways. Do you want to keep nautilus?
[06:31] <makara> major: can you sftp into your server?
[06:31] <tristan3199> bobo37773: just as a back up in case i mess something up.. but i dont really like it..
[06:31] <kroonrs> major: sounds like a misconfiguration of ssh on the machine where that happened
[06:31] <zeknox> Hyper_Sha: depending on the layout you could use head + tail commands in linux to split the text up
[06:31] <lagbox> how do i tell my system ... using gnome-classic that a torrent file is to be associated with a torrent application and why the hell do i have to manual configure this after an upgrade
[06:32] <major> makara: what is sftp?
[06:32] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Look at /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
[06:32] <zeknox> major: secure file transfer, typically runs over port 22/tcp
[06:32] <Hyper_Sha> zeknox: it's a wordlist file
[06:32] <major> kroonrs: 99% it's all here
[06:32] <kroonrs> Hyper_Sha: man split
[06:32] <zeknox> Hyper_Sha: split it up with head and tail in linux then
[06:32] <major> makara: no I'm getting access denied on anything
[06:33] <warrensheets> hi all
[06:33] <Hyper_Sha> kroonrs: thx
[06:33] <Hyper_Sha> zeknox: thx
[06:33] <warrensheets> im ne to lenix
[06:33] <major> it is something related to keyring, or seahorse
[06:33] <kroonrs> Hyper_Sha: np :)
[06:33] <zeknox> kroonrs: I never even knew about the split command...haha
[06:33] <lagbox> warrensheets, Linux
[06:33] <FastPutty> guys what is the site again to test pin from many country arround the world
[06:33] <kroonrs> major: sorry, don't think I have any more useful suggestions - I hope makara/someone else can help you further :(
[06:33] <FastPutty> i completly forget it
[06:34] <FastPutty> test ping**
[06:34] <makara> major: who is your host?
[06:34] <major> makara: digicube
[06:34] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Maybe ~/.local/share/applications/ too
[06:34] <makara> major: check their forums or google for similar issues
[06:34] <major> makara: tried
[06:34] <tristan3199> bobo37773: for this line application/x-gnome-saved-search=nautilus.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;??
[06:36] <makara> major: could access denied be a blocked port on your machine? I don't know

[06:36] <bobo37773> inode/directory=pcmanfm.desktop;Thunar-folder-handler.desktop;
[06:36] <bobo37773> thats mine

[06:43] <warrensheets> can anyone tell me how to host my own web site from lenix
[06:43] <lagbox> does 11.04 still use nautilus ... i mean what the fudge .. i have a crippled desktop now ... why
[06:43] <tristan3199> bobo37773: now it reads inode/directory=dolphin.desktop;kde4-dolphin.desktop;dolphin-folder-handler.desktop;
[06:43] <lagbox> cant even up a damn folder
[06:44] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Did you change it to that or is that what is said already?
[06:44] <lagbox> ive been using linux since 98 and have never had as many problems as i have had with the upgrade to 10.10 and 11.04 so far
[06:44] <major> lagbox: please read http://pastebin.com/5n13tmyH
[06:44] <lagbox> cool
[06:45] <tristan3199> bobo37773: what about x-content/blank-bd=brasero-nautilus.desktop;
[06:45] <tristan3199> should that read x-content/blank-bd=brasero-dolphin.desktop;
[06:45] <linocisco> hi
[06:46] <Redflea> Hi - Noob here, trying to install Ubuntu for dual boot...10.04.3 on CD, on a Sony VPC CW290L laptop - Nvidia graphics, Win 7 Pro.  Every time I start install, or demo, or anything requiring Ubuntu to display anything (other than language selection and the initial menu in Demo mode) the screen goes blank...things appear to be running, but no display.  Anything I can do, or does that mean this laptop won't install/run ubuntu. <sad>
[06:46] <linocisco> where and how to register an IRC account to use with pidgin?
[06:46] <lagbox> Redflea, it probably will install .. it may be loading the wrong graphic driver after that point
[06:47] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Not sure.
[06:47] <major> lagbox: any ideas?
[06:47] <aeon-ltd> linocisco: you mean registering a nick(name)?
[06:47] <Redflea> lagbox: how do I fix it/get it to display anything during (and after, LOL, install?  Can't install if I can't see anything..
[06:47] <tristan3199> bobo37773: also x-content/unix-software=nautilus-autorun-software.desktop;
[06:47] <bobo37773> tristan3199: No no no
[06:47] <lagbox> Redflea, your talking about booting into a livecd ?
[06:47] <bobo37773> tristan3199: those entries must exist
[06:47] <Redflea> I've got a CD 10.04.3 32 bit that I burned from an ISO in the CD drive...
[06:48] <lagbox> major, i have no idea
[06:48] <Redflea> lagbox: trying to run the install from that CD...screen goes black...
[06:48] <lagbox> Redflea, your probably going to have to pass the kernel a special command or manualy through command line have it load a different driver for xorg
[06:49] <lagbox> i cant think of how to do that or what is the right thing off the top of my head though
[06:49] <bobo37773> tristan3199: The ones you have to choose from are in /usr/share/applications   open a terminal and type "ls /usr/share/applications"
[06:49] <Redflea> lagbox:  Thanks...any idea where I can find out what to use?
[06:49] <tristan3199> bobo37773: ok..
[06:49] <tristan3199> bobo37773: done
[06:49] <Redflea> lagbox:  I'm happy to read/learn, but am a linux noob...
[06:49] <lagbox> Redflea, the ubuntu forums will probably have some good insight into the boot menu of the cd
[06:49] <bobo37773> tristan3199: You can't just 'wing it'. brasero-dolphin.desktop probably doesn't exist...
[06:50] <goddard> how much faster would ubuntu be if i compiled it for my machine?
[06:50] <tommynmw> hi all
[06:50] <Redflea> lagbox:  OK, thanks...I'll go spend some time there, ask questions, do a little searching/reading.  Thanks very much.  later
[06:50] <tristan3199> bobo37773: gotcha..
[06:50] <lagbox> Redflea, it is common, or was, to have to pass boot parameteers to the kernel for different issues
[06:50] <bobo37773> goddard: hard to say
[06:50] <ultrixx> goddard: are you using 64 bit version?
[06:50] <Redflea> cool...hopefully I will triumph.  :)
[06:50] <bobo37773> goddard: Everything from source?
[06:51] <lagbox> but im probably not the guy to ask at the moment im already thinking of switching to another distro
[06:51] <goddard> ultrixx: ya
[06:51] <ultrixx> goddard: then probably almost nothing
[06:51] <lagbox> the last 3 or 4 version have pissed me off
[06:51] <goddard> ultrixx: why do you say that?
[06:52] <bobo37773> goddard: What compile options / make options are you going to use?
[06:52] <sjihs> Hi, What is the difference b/w thread_siblings and core_siblings in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology?
[06:52] <linocisco> aeon-ltd: yes
[06:52] <goddard> bobo37773: well i could try the intel compiler for my intel machine
[06:53] <goddard> bobo37773: if that even works
[06:53] <lagbox> sjihs, im not upon the multi core thing but they are def different
[06:53] <ultrixx> goddard: you already have the 64 bit instructions/registers and sse/sse2 that are used by the 64 bit version
[06:53] <bobo37773> goddard: Hmmm. Do you mean just recompiling the kernel?
[06:54] <goddard> bobo37773: i guess i wasn't exactly sure was curious if any part of the system could be improved upon if i compiled it for my system
[06:54] <goddard> similar to mac
[06:54] <sjihs> lagbox: yes, I read the linux-2.6/Documentation/cputopology.txt. But couldn't understand the description
[06:54] <ultrixx> goddard: in 32 bit environment it makes a difference between i386 and i686 instructions
[06:54] <Super_Mario_MidN> hello?
[06:54] <bobo37773> goddard: Yeah, it is not really the Ubuntu way for the most part. Compiling your kernel may help though.
[06:55] <bobo37773> goddard: Are you having speed issues?
[06:55] <lagbox> sjihs, im not sure of the terminology that is used to describe the space in which threads exist in relationship to cores
[06:55] <bobo37773> goddard: like too slow I mean
[06:56] <goddard> bobo37773: i have a good laptop and speed is fine but was impressed by OSX and the speed of the interface
[06:56] <Super_Mario_MidN> Is Ubuntu actually better than Kubuntu?
[06:56] <sjihs> lagbox: same here
[06:56] <goddard> Super_Mario_MidN: that isn't a fact based question
[06:56] <lagbox> Super_Mario_MidN,  kubuntu is ubuntu with kde ... i believe
[06:57] <ultrixx> Super_Mario_MidN: kubuntu uses kde, ubuntu uses unity
[06:57] <ultrixx> Super_Mario_MidN: so if you belong to the people who don't like unity and who like kde, then kubuntu is better for you.
[06:57] <lagbox> rick james
[06:58] <ultrixx> Super_Mario_MidN: the rest of the packages are the same
[06:58] <lagbox> sjihs, i got out of lower level programming before the multicore thing became an issue
[06:58] <jiltdil> is there any 64 bit oracle xe .deb package available
[06:59] <bobo37773> goddard: I went through that same thing a while back.
[06:59] <lagbox> ive had a 64bit processor for 6 years and have never used it outside of 32bit so idk
[06:59] <sjihs> lagbox: ok
[07:00] <lagbox> i suppose the support for it has caught up by now
[07:00] <Super_Mario_MidN> I like windows 7 better
[07:00] <bobo37773> goddard: My solution in the end was switching to arch and optimizing my system to the max (custom kernel, preloading applications, running my own dns server etc etc..).
[07:00] <lagbox> Super_Mario_MidN, you would
[07:00] <sjihs> lagbox: Yes, definitely.
[07:00] <lagbox> bobo37773, why not use gentoo if your all about optimization ?
[07:01] <ejv> cmon fellas, #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:01] <lagbox> to who ejv
[07:01] <bobo37773> lagbox: Never tried it... ok ejv ok Back on topic
[07:01] <ejv> you and anyone who's offtopic
[07:01] <ejv> :)
[07:01] <bobo37773> hehe
[07:02] <Super_Mario_MidN> jk I love Ubuntu
[07:02] <Super_Mario_MidN> Any one with NXP chip experience here?
[07:03] <bobo37773> goddard: ssd drive would probably help or preloding applications into ram
[07:03] <bobo37773> goddard: Oh, and e4rat is super awesome
[07:03] <honey_> what does the indication of the red ! in Gparted of partion like http://imagebin.org/195395
[07:04] <bobo37773> honey_: Hover over it with the mouse or click it. It should tell you something
[07:05] <lagbox> is that a ubuntu question
[07:05] <bobo37773> goddard: You know what would make a huge difference? Try a different window manager.
[07:05] <lagbox> bobo37773, nice :)
[07:06] <lagbox> does ubuntu still offer window maker ?
[07:06] <bobo37773> lagbox: I am in love with openbox.
[07:06] <lagbox> understandable   nice and light weight
[07:07] <bobo37773> lagbox: I tried awesome but just couldn't get into it. What is window maker? You have to design it yourself?
[07:08] <lagbox> i love how we are the only ones talking and some how this is off topic
[07:08] <johnnyamerika> exit
[07:08] <somsip> bobo37773: awesome is great, but no suited to everyone
[07:09] <bobo37773> lagbox: Hahaha. I went to offtopic earlier and it is boooooring
[07:09] <lagbox> ill have to check it out ... if it is in ubuntus repo
[07:09] <bobo37773> somsip: I gave it an honest try. I just couldn't get into it. Now I have to have pytyle though hahaha thanks awesome geesh
[07:10] <somsip> bobo37773: got to try alternatives as long as it takes you to somewhere that works for you
[07:10] <bobo37773> somsip: True true. I forgot what it was like to use nautilus
[07:11] <_skpl> how can i stop nautilus from opening a new window everytime i click on something
[07:11] <bobo37773> somsip: I miss compiz enhanced zoom desktop though. A lot
[07:12] <tristan3199> bobo37773: no luck getting the desktop icons to funtion.. i have edited and saved mimeinfo.cashe
[07:12] <somsip> bobo37773: never missed that. The only thing I really liked was CTRL-drag to screenshot, but I found xsnap so easily replaced
[07:12] <lagbox> i liked Enlightenment ... wish the guy had more support though ... have stuck with gnome
[07:12] <bobo37773> _skpl: Every time you click a folder it opens a new window? Did you look in the preferences menu?
[07:13] <lagbox> ugg .. single click opening stuff
[07:13] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Desktop icons? Is this a new problem?
[07:13] <lagbox> ala microcrap
[07:13] <tristan3199> bobo37773: i want my desktop folders opening in dolphin as well..
[07:14] <ratz_> hi friends
[07:14] <bobo37773> Do you mean you have shortcuts on your desktop for folders?
[07:14] <bobo37773> ratz_: Hey
[07:14] <ratz_> i have installed linux mint on my HP Netbook and wish to make it a DNS Server can someone please guide me?
[07:15] <lagbox> heres an ontopic one ... where in 11.04 using gnome-classic, do you set the default filemanager ?
[07:15] <bobo37773> lagbox: Are you talking about e17 same thing?
[07:15] <tristan3199> bobo37773: i learned that /etc/gnome/defaults.list allowed me to get the places dropdown menu opening in dolphin
[07:15] <lagbox> bobo37773, yes and the previous ones
[07:15] <paulus68> !bind|ratz_
[07:16] <ratz_> paulus68: i didnt understand what do u mean
[07:16] <tristan3199> bobo37773: now for the desktop folders such as my computer and home to open in dolphin as well..
[07:16] <bobo37773> lagbox: Gotcha. Yeah, I don't like it. I tried that before openbox. If I remember correctly it kept crashing
[07:16] <paulus68> ratz_: there was a package called bind which is used to make a dns server
[07:17] <paulus68> ratz_: don't know if this is changed by now
[07:17] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Create new shortcuts?
[07:17] <chris_> I got a bluetooth card with my wireless mouse. When I have it plugged in, bluetooth turns on and off rapidly
[07:17] <tristan3199> bobo37773: like remove "my computer" in settings and then add it back?? or maybe i should reboot?
[07:17] <linocisco> hi
[07:17] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Nautilus is drawing the desktop. Also, nautilus shortcuts will probably open nautilus
[07:17] <bobo37773> tristan3199: No need to reboot
[07:17] <bobo37773> linocisco: hi
[07:18] <ratz_> paulus68: is there any step by step guide for this
[07:18] <lagbox> _skpl, did you solve your prob .. its in nautilus preferences
[07:18] <shovell> i know it is off topic but can you guys help me with an issue in wine i am trying to play startrek armada 2 and there is a few problems here is the output of the console
[07:18] <shovell> http://paste.ubuntu.com/816177/\
[07:18] <tristan3199> bobo37773: sorry, not good with words i suppose.. im curious if the changes i just made should have made the desktop icon "my computer" open in dolphin
[07:19] <linocisco> b
[07:19] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Can't you edit the shortcuts directly?
[07:19] <bobo37773> tristan3199: No I do not think a reboot will change your shortcuts
[07:20] <chris_> forgot its wednesday. I need to go
[07:20] <shovell> tristan3199, i have altered shortcuts and reboot diddnt change them
[07:20] <bobo37773> tristan3199:Can you right click and open with? I don't remember if nautilus has that feature
[07:21] <tristan3199> bobo37773: on normal files.. yes.. on the desktop.. no...
[07:21] <paulus68> !bind9 |ratz_
[07:22] <paulus68> !dns |ratz_
[07:22] <lagbox> where to set default file manager in gnome-classic   ubuntu 11.04
[07:23] <ratz_> thanx ubottu
[07:23] <tristan3199> bobo37773: im almost there.. just this last kink.. if i open a folder from the desktop it opens nautilus still..
[07:23] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Can't you create new shortcuts from dolphin? Like right click on the folder you want and create shorttcut on desktop
[07:24] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Remove nautilus shortcuts with gconf or ubuntu tweak or something
[07:24] <tristan3199> bobo37773: gotcha.. they are system links.. but dont need them to be...
[07:24] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Yeah. What I am trying to say is remove old shortcuts and make new ones
[07:25] <tristan3199> bobo37773: thanks so much..
[07:25] <bobo37773> tristan3199: You're welcome. Glad I could help
[07:26] <shovell> have any experience with fixing wine problems?
[07:27] <tristan3199> bobo37773: shoot.. the new links open in nautilus as well..
[07:28] <tristan3199> bobo37773: oddly enough.. two identical links... one in panel and one on desktop.. panel uses dolphin and desktop uses nautilus.. even tho they are exact copies..
[07:30] <shovell> http://paste.ubuntu.com/816177/  i know it is off topic but can you guys tell me if this is a ubuntu issue?
[07:30] <bobo37773> tristan3199: New link?  Then why would the options be different?
[07:32] <shovell> bobo37773,  i was looking at that and i dont know for sure i think i did install it but?????
[07:33] <lagbox> not for nothing you can get so user friendly that it becomes a problem ... and that is what i have noticed since 10.04 ... its like didn't we notice where microcrap failed
[07:33] <bobo37773> shovell: Try winetricks or playonlinux
[07:33] <shovell> bobo37773,  sure
[07:33] <bobo37773> lagbox: I think 10.04 was the best ubuntu ever
[07:33] <shovell> bobo37773,  it was
[07:33] <richardcavell> It was pretty good
[07:33] <lagbox> i meant from then on
[07:34] <ultrixx> bobo37773: why not 10.10? you could still disable unity
[07:34] <richardcavell> I went back to 10.04 from 10.10
[07:34] <tristan3199> bobo37773: should i get back into those mime files and see if anymore editing may be required... is there a location that i missed..
[07:34] <richardcavell> I'm hoping 12.04 is similarly good
[07:34] <ultrixx> richardcavell: why did you go back?
[07:34] <richardcavell> more stable
[07:34] <richardcavell> simpler
[07:34] <young_chook> how do you backup thunderbird please
[07:34] <bobo37773> tristan3199: No you just need to create a custom shortcut. How about a simple script?
[07:34] <lagbox> well i am just about ready to go back to it myself at this point
[07:34] <_skpl> does anyone know how to disbale the global menu in ubbutnu 11.10
[07:34] <_skpl> ?
[07:35] <richardcavell> If Unity doesn't ruin 12.04 then I'm hoping it will be as good as 10.04
[07:35] <tristan3199> bobo37773: i edited /ect/gnome/defaults.list to get the places dropdown menu from the panel to work with dolphin...
[07:35] <lagbox> yea .. stop using unity
[07:35] <shovell> unity[07:35] <lagbox> if i wanted a mac i would get a mac
[07:36] <ultrixx> richardcavell: well you could still use kubuntu
[07:36] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Maybe just create a script like dolphin /user/directory/blah   and then point it to whatever icon you want to use
[07:36] <lagbox> its time to give mint a try i suppose
[07:36] <aeon-ltd> !register | linocisco
[07:36] <bobo37773> lagbox: Why? More "user friendlyness"
[07:36] <irc_flickpr> test
[07:36] <ultrixx> richardcavell: i prefer ubuntu but kubuntu 11.10 is awesome and you don't have to use gnome 3 or unity
[07:36] <bobo37773> friendliness*
[07:36] <aeon-ltd> linocisco: i apologise for my lateness
[07:37] <lagbox> i suppose not then
[07:37] <richardcavell> ultrixx, I want GNOME 2
[07:37] <lagbox> has debian fixed its dependency problems yet ?
[07:37] <lagbox> or run out of toy story characters
[07:37] <bobo37773> dependency problems?
[07:37] <bobo37773> hahaha
[07:37] <mark_morcom> Hi - i need help - The problem is detailed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1914789
[07:38] <wookienz> guys how do i grep something, which returns about 10 thing, then run each of those through another function?
[07:38] <bobo37773> mark_morcom: Can't enable numlock?
[07:38] <mark_morcom> The light comes on but the numpad controls my mouse
[07:38] <bobo37773> wookienz: Maybe a for each loop?
[07:39] <lagbox> mark_morcom, maybe a xorg problem ?
[07:39] <mark_morcom> Sorry, Im new to minux - what is xorg?
[07:39] <mark_morcom> 8Linux
[07:39] <bobo37773> mark_morcom: Numpad controls your mouse? Do you mean numlock isn't working?
[07:39] <lagbox> wookienz, right a bash script or perl
[07:40] <tristan3199> do i save a script as example.lnk or example.sh or ?
[07:40] <linocisco> hi
[07:40] <mark_morcom> When I googles it - It says that mouse keys is enables, I found a Hardy solution that said I had to press ctrl+ship+numlock - This did not work
[07:40] <bobo37773> tristan3199: You don't need a file extension
[07:40] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Just call it Home or Videos or whatever
[07:41] <lagbox> mark_morcom, that file probably keeps getting written to by gnome
[07:41] <mark_morcom> lagbox, is there a way to stop that?
[07:41] <lagbox> what version of ubuntu
[07:42] <bobo37773> as long as the first line reads #!/bin/bash    the file extension does not matter
[07:42] <mark_morcom> lagbox, 11.10
[07:42] <bobo37773> tristan3199: It may be better to create a real shortcut though now that I actually think about it
[07:43] <bobo37773> tristan3199: a .desktop file
[07:43] <lagbox> oh crap ... does xorg even have a config file in 11.10
[07:43] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Like Home.desktop
[07:43] <tristan3199> bobo37773: thank you.. ill see what i can do
[07:44] <sjihs> lagbox: This URL was very helpful to me. http://www.admon.org/about-cpu-the-logical-and-physical-cores/
[07:44] <lagbox> sjihs, sweet ... thanks
[07:44] <bobo37773> tristan3199: Refer back to /usr/share/applications/ for an example
[07:44] <mark_morcom> lagbox, when I sudo that config file I get the following output: http://codepad.org/RQwsUoV8
[07:45] <bobo37773> tristan3199:       cat /usr/share/applications/dolphin.desktop
[07:45] <bobo37773> tristan3199: or whatever those are all shortcuts more or less
[07:46] <Xunil> Hi everyone, I got two problems 1) I am trying to connect to ubuntu computers using a cross-over-cable and setting one computer to "shared internet" and the other normal - but it cannot connect and 2) npviewer.bin is taking all my CPU and nautilus all my RAM
[07:47] <lagbox> mark_morcom, sudo doesnt do what you think ... or you phrased that wrong ... what file
[07:47] <bobo37773> mark_morcom: does that directory exist?
[07:48] <mark_morcom> I typed this into the terminal to edit the xml file that controls mousekeys
[07:48] <mark_morcom> sudo gedit /home/mark/.gconf/desktop/gnome/accessibility/keyboard/%gconf.xml
[07:48] <bobo37773> wookienz: Did you figure it out?
[07:48] <lagbox> Xunil, how about pinging the other computer
[07:48] <mark_morcom> The output was as above
[07:48] <lagbox> mark_morcom, dont
[07:48] <lagbox> mark_morcom, and stop trying to edit that file
[07:48] <shovell> bobo37773,  what is d3d anyways?
[07:49] <mark_morcom> k
[07:49] <mark_morcom> The folder does not exist by the way :)
[07:49] <lagbox> mark_morcom,    are you mark on your system
[07:49] <mark_morcom> Yip
[07:49] <bobo37773> I don't think %gconf.xml is something you want to mess with
[07:49] <bobo37773> shovell: directx direct3d stuff     it is for windows games
[07:49] <gemunu> I've installed XBMC on ubuntu 10.04.3 and now I wanna add xbmc session to GRUB boot loader. Is it possible?
[07:49] <nemessys> how can instal internet explorer and messenger?
[07:49] <bobo37773> shovell: Are you trying to run a game in wine or something?
[07:49] <Xunil> lagbox: Doesn't work
[07:49] <shovell> bobo37773,  yes
[07:49] <Xunil> lagbox: nm-applet can't even connect to the wired network
[07:50] <lagbox> Xunil, i don't know much about cross over networking
[07:50] <lagbox> Xunil, what wired network ?
[07:50] <bobo37773> shovell: Do you have winetricks or playonlinux installed?
[07:50] <wookienz> bobo37773: yeah i was using find command, so i used -exec to run it. thanks
[07:50] <Xunil> well - DHCP-connection (normal network) on the one PC and "shared internet on the other" - or is that a wrong configuration?
[07:50] <shovell> bobo37773, yes to both and i cant figure out playonlinux
[07:51] <bobo37773> wookienz: Right on
[07:51] <subb1> hi, I have the following fdisk o/p : http://paste.ubuntu.com/816193/   . Is it possible for me to create a new partition of 1G size?
[07:51] <wookienz> guys i have a bin file that was used to infect my webserver. I have no idea what it does but i would like t ruin it locally to see what it does. Any ideas on how i could do this safely?
[07:51] <lagbox> Xunil, i don't know if that is correct ... it is more of a direct connection then a network
[07:52] <lagbox> wookienz, maybe a virtual box
[07:52] <bobo37773> shovell: run "winetricks d3dx9_36" or just winetricks to open the gui
[07:52] <Xunil> so - what would the correct configuration be? I also tried "manual" configuration using some 172.16.-ips and "link-only"
