[06:13] <Linuxpwns> pbear: ifconfig eth0 up  then  dhclient  to enable DHCP and that should get you online
[06:13] <soreau> pbear: dhclient eth0
[06:14] <soreau> pbear: Assuming its connected to a device with dhcp setup
[06:14] <Saturn2888> Jordan_U: forgot to tag you: quick question, is it normal to spend 4 min partitioning ext4 for 1TB?
[06:14] <soreau> Auriga: What does you mean by compiz --replace issue?
[06:14] <Linuxpwns> soreau: 9 out of 10 chances it is....
[06:14] <joeyr> I can't boot Linux on my external. Suggestions?
[06:14] <Auriga> soreau, Judging by what you are writing I will assume not... the compiz - - replace, when you have to type replace to get back the window borders & buttons.
[06:14] <soreau> Auriga: Are you having some problem with compiz?
[06:14] <Linuxpwns> joeyr: Your motherboard does not support it most likely i'm afraid.
[06:15] <joeyr> Linuxpwns: I was thinking I could make it from a cd instead of a usb. Put plop on a cd
[06:15] <Auriga> soreau, Nothing I can't fix.  And I'm still getting just a black screen when I boot.
[06:16] <LorgonJortle> Any ideas?
[06:16] <ActionParsnip> Auriga: how do you mean by gui....?
[06:17] <Linuxpwns> joeyr: Have you considered disassembling the case of your external drive and extracting the SATA drive and then slaving it onto your desktop? Then just using it as a regular sata HDD.
[06:17] <Auriga> ActionParsnip, Sorry not the gui, just the window buttons.
[06:17] <Mrwootwoot> ActionParsnip, I'm looking through this file https://gist.github.com/835062 but i dont see a cron anywhere in there
[06:17] <dombnexen> hi i have my streaming radio and i wont to play from linux in this streaming radio how i can do this?
[06:17] <ActionParsnip> Auriga: oh, the window decorator?
[06:18] <Linuxpwns> Or if its IDE, slaving it as a 2nd drive... etc
[06:18] <Auriga> ActionParsnip, Yeah basically.
[06:18] <joeyr> Linuxpwns: I was wondering if I could copy the boot.ini file onto my flashdrive so it can say "hey, go to the external first" I don't want to do any disassembling.
[06:18] <ActionParsnip> Mrwootwoot: thats because it will run as a continual process. The script in the page I gave is a script whih runs when cron tells it to
[06:19] <Auriga> ActionParsnip, I think you have never had the issue, it's a little odd to explain what happens.
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> Auriga: there is emerald which you can apply themes to very easily
[06:19] <arnold_> testing irc, say hello to me please. :)
[06:19] <ActionParsnip> hi arnold_
[06:19] <Auriga> ActionParsnip, I'm not talking about themes.
[06:19] <Knio> Linuxpwns: I found another machine with the same kernel (-26) and workload as the slow one, but it's fast
[06:19] <soreau> hey arnold_
[06:19] <python__> arnold: whats up baby
[06:19] <pbear> Linuxpwns: i did sudo dhclient eth0, then dhcclient eth0. it's saying no dhcpoffers recieved
[06:19] <Linuxpwns> Knio: Interesting.
[06:20] <soreau> pbear: What is your ethernet cable connected to?
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> Auriga: "changing the buttons" sounds a LOT like theming, wouldn't you say. Try giving details and we may be able to help
[06:20] <soreau> ! who | pbear
[06:20] <dombnexen> hi i have my streaming radio and i wont to play from linux in this streaming radio how i can do this?
[06:20] <soreau> dombnexen: What kind of streaming radio? Where is the stream coming from?
[06:20] <ActionParsnip> dombnexen: vlc and mplayer can connect to streams very easily
[06:20] <joeyr> oh well, I'm out for the night. thank you Linuxpwns for trying to help
[06:21] <dombnexen> listen2myradio
[06:21] <Auriga> ActionParsnip, It's not changing the buttons, it's when the buttons dissapear, & you are not able to move the window. Nor close it, or minimize, you have to replace them with compiz - -replace. Not the same at all.
[06:21] <dombnexen> i dont know how
[06:21] <Linuxpwns> joeyr: No problem. Sorry about that.
[06:21] <Linuxpwns> pbear: It means that no dhcp server was found on your network
[06:22] <ActionParsnip> Auriga: you should have said THAT first, rather than "You never have to replace your GUI?"  which is absolutely nothing to do with your issue
[06:22] <LorgonJortle> Empathy froze, sorry if I missed an answer. After installing GRUB2 again, I'm only getting a black screen on bootup. Is there something else I need to do?
[06:23] <Linuxpwns> pbear: Are you connected via wireless now?
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> Auriga: compiz isn't even a GUI, its a window manager
[06:23] <Auriga> ActionParsnip, That is exactly what I  said at first. I wasn't talking about theming, I said the compiz - - replace issue...
[06:23] <python__> LorgonJortle on the black screen can you press e
[06:23] <dombnexen> how i do it in vlc or mplayer?
[06:23] <python__> and go into the menu
[06:23] <pbear> soreau: what do you mean? i'm not sure, i'm working with ubuntu inside a virtual machine
[06:23] <LorgonJortle> python__: What will that get me?
[06:23] <ActionParsnip> Auriga: I suggest you use the startup items manager and add a new item to run:  compiz --replace     and it will be fine
[06:23] <soreau> pbear: Well you could have told everyone that from the start
[06:24]  * soreau goes to bed
[06:24] <python__> that should let you get to the menu.lst file line
[06:24] <Linuxpwns> Oh geez
[06:24] <mdkess> Is there any way to set the resolution on the virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+fN)?
[06:24] <ActionParsnip> Auriga: fyi, you CAN move windows without window decorators, if you hold ALT you can drag an application window from any place in the app
[06:24] <LorgonJortle> python__: Thanks. I'll give it a go.
[06:24] <Mrwootwoot> ActionParsnip, ahhh ok i got it, but 1 more thing... how do i include the location of this picture as it updates? http://static.die.net/earth/mercator/800.jpg
[06:24] <LorgonJortle> python__: I'm runnin' it. :D
[06:25] <pbear> Linuxpwns: no, i uninstalled the network manager and can't enable networking
[06:25] <Mrwootwoot> ActionParsnip, because i don't want to manually have to save it to my computer everytime it updates
[06:25] <ActionParsnip> Mrwootwoot: you will need to add a command to download it with wget
[06:25] <python__> in that case try pressing ctrl+alt+F2
[06:25] <python__> does it bring you to a command prompt
[06:25] <Linuxpwns> mdkess: xrandr -s 1024x768   or pick another resolution, does that work?
[06:25] <yasmi> Need some help building webkit

[06:26] <dombnexen> someone can help me plz for the streaming radio
[06:27] <dombnexen> plz pm me
[06:27] <yasmi> I get this "You need the GLib dev tools in your path" when trying to configure webkit
[06:27] <python__> dombnexen what kind of radio you trying to setup
[06:28] <dombnexen> i have from listen2myradio
[06:28] <ActionParsnip> dombnexen: i gave a possible direction, you can now use research to utilize it
[06:28] <python__> yasmi you running ubuntu 10.10
[06:28] <yasmi> yes, python
[06:29] <dombnexen> i dont know how to streaming in linux its the first time
[06:29] <yasmi> python__, yeah I am ubuntu 10.10, have installed all glib packages
[06:30] <python__> go to terminal and type echo $PATH
[06:30] <python__> and paste out here

[06:39] <ac7ss> VLC has them in the install. You have to add from "non-free" for any of the other players.
[06:39] <SwordFish> s7r your video card driver installed
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> s7r: do you have 3D accelleration configured?
[06:39] <spacenavi_> so from synaptic i install what?
[06:39] <ActionParsnip> spacenavi_: read the link!
[06:39] <ac7ss> You have to enable non-free....

[06:42] <Mrwootwoot> maybe more fun on day 3 tho ActionParsnip
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> s7r: websearching
[06:43] <SwordFish> smurfie just kill it
[06:43] <Linuxpwns> Doh im a noob
[06:43] <Smurfie> k
[06:43] <Smurfie> What's the kill code?
[06:43] <Smurfie> I can't remember how to do it.
[06:43] <Smurfie> sudo kill something.. I think.
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> s7r: can you run:   gedit /var/log/Xorg.0.log     and make a pastebin of it please
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> Smurfie: it will be running as your user, so sudo won't be needd
[06:44] <SwordFish> smurfie use top
[06:44] <SwordFish> to get process id then kill
[06:44] <Smurfie> Its frozen.
[06:45] <Photocopy> soreau: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHASDGHASDHG
[06:45] <rww> o.O
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> Smurfie: doesn't matter, the frozen app is still runing as your user
[06:45] <Smurfie> I can't quit or anything.
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> Smurfie: killall skype     may do it
[06:45] <Photocopy> soreau: I GOT IT ! ! !
[06:45] <SwordFish> smurfie press CTRL+ALT+F2
[06:45] <SwordFish> Login
[06:45] <Photocopy> soreau: I GOT RID OF THE TITLEBAR TEXT IN METACITY/GTK-WINDOW-DECORATOR/WHATEVER
[06:45] <SwordFish> then type top
[06:46] <Photocopy> WOOHOO
[06:46] <s7r> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/YaiqXLRP
[06:46] <SwordFish> then type killall -9 "Procress ID"
[06:46] <rww> Photocopy: I think soreau will be able to read you just fine without capslock (:
[06:46] <Photocopy> soreau: my desktop looks so awesome noW
[06:46] <Photocopy> rww: haha im excited! I tried everything and he was telling me it'd be pretty much impossible
[06:46] <ac7ss> smurfie: or type 'ps -A|grep skype'

[06:48] <IdleOne> yes
[06:49] <shum> how do i fix broken package dependencies? I can't install or remove anything because apt-get complains that procps is installed and procps depends on initscripts which is not installed. But when i try to install initscripts apt-get says its already installed. :O
[06:49] <cynde_> k, I must've missed something after whoever said 'ctrl+alt+f2'
[06:50] <ac7ss> smurfie: or type 'ps -A|grep skype'
[06:50] <pbear> where is the network manager in the ubuntu 10.10 desktop iso? i'm looking for the network manager deb
[06:50] <ac7ss> smurfie: then 'kill -9 <Proc#>'
[06:50] <Prodego> hm
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> shum: sudo apt-get -f install      may do it
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> s7r: are you fully updated?
[06:51] <s7r> ActionParsnip: yes i am now
[06:51] <shum> ActionParsnip: nope. its says 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
[06:51] <s7r> i have updated 509 mb and rebooted
[06:51] <s7r> the same - desktop effects could not be enabled
[06:51] <Smurfie> The kill number is 9?
[06:52] <Linuxpwns> ActionParnsnip: can you see me?
[06:52] <ac7ss> smurfie: 9 is the absolute kill.
[06:52] <shum> Smurfie: 9 is the signal you're sending to the process. signal 9 means kill
[06:52] <Smurfie> Ah ok.
[06:52] <Smurfie> Good to know for later.
[06:53] <critical_max> smurfie: kill -9 is equivalent to when windows says "The program is not responding, do you want to force exit"
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> Smurfie: -9 is the biggest hammer and it WILL die
[06:53] <Smurfie> I had to reboot so its all good now.
[06:53] <Smurfie> But thank you for that.
[06:53] <ac7ss> smurfie: that works too.
[06:54] <critical_max> Anyone playing Ryzom on ubuntu? I've almost got the installer d/l
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> s7r: http://forum.tuxx-home.at/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=797    you may need an xorg.conf file for it, there are samples around like that one.

[06:54] <Smurfie> Yea, I screwed up somewhere along the line.
[06:54] <s7r> thanks ActionParsnip
[06:55] <ljsoftnet> is there a intel GMA 3150 driver for ubuntu?
[06:55] <s7r> ActionParsnip: so you say my card may not support acceleration 3d?

[06:56] <ActionParsnip> s7r: possibly, i've not used matrox cards under Linux
[06:57] <Starminn> I'm having issues with a very simple, 2-line shell script. It is supposed to launch a file, but it doesn't work (nothing happens)
[06:58] <shum> Starminn: what are the two lines?
[06:59] <Starminn> (It's so short I'm not going to pastebin it if that's alright since there's nobody on here right now..) So I've got: #! /bin/bash
[06:59] <Starminn> cd ~/quake
[06:59] <Starminn> ./darkplaces/darkplaces-linux-585-sdl
[07:00] <Starminn> That's the whole thing, and it works in Terminal, but I want to just click a shell script, not remember file paths. ;)
[07:00] <Jordan_U> Starminn: What happens when you execute the script in the terminal?
[07:01] <i4ba1_> i have a command to show the hdd serial number
[07:01] <Starminn> Jordan_U: You mean as in "/path/to/my/script"?
[07:01] <memorygap0> hello. I have a win xp install  as main os and linux guest os using virtual box. how can i copy file on xp to my linux os
[07:01] <Jordan_U> Starminn: Yes.
[07:01] <i4ba1_> sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda | grep -i serial
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: does ./darkplaces/darkplaces-linux-585-sdl   work in a terminal if you type it?
[07:02] <Starminn> http://paste.ubuntu.com/583671/
[07:02] <Frenk> Hey, I have a LAN connection and a free WiFi card. I want to use it as an access point for other devices. (Running Ubuntu 10.10)
[07:02] <Starminn> ActionParsnip: ~/quake has to be my working directory
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: did you put your script in /usr/bin   ? (give it a weird name)
[07:03] <Auriga> memorygap0, Go take a look at installing Guest Additions.
[07:04] <Starminn> ActionParsnip: IT does launch the program (an emulator), but it can't find the game to emulate unless ~/quake is my Working Directory. ;) As far as putting the shell script in /usr/bin, I shall try that now.
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> memorygap0:  you can define folders which share to the guest in the vbox config
[07:04] <i4ba1_> the result is Model=SAMSUNG HD161G, FwRev=1AC01118, SerialNo=S14Dj585959
[07:04] <i4ba1_> and i just want get the number in serial no
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: you should then be able to run it from any place. If the script is not in one of the folders in $PATH you will need to  type the absolute path to the script
[07:05] <i4ba1_> how can i do that?
[07:05] <thauriswulfa> QUESTION: I am unable to use other than default gsm n/w operator "idea" to connect to internet on huawei datacard?
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> i4ba1_: maybe:    sudo dmidecode | less     will show it, use cursors / pgup / pgdn to navigate and Q to exit
[07:07] <ac7ss> i4bal: you can also use a pipe through sed.
[07:07] <Starminn> ActionParsnip: $PATH? (Launching the file I just moved to /usr/bin te same thing happens (i.e. nothing)
[07:08] <Jordan_U> i4ba1_: Earlier you said you wanted the serial number "Of the computer", now you're asking about the serial number of the hard drive. What is your end goal?
[07:08] <thauriswulfa>  QUESTION: I am unable to use other than default gsm n/w operator "idea" to connect to internet on huawei datacard?
[07:08] <Jordan_U> Starminn: You have DOS line endings in the file.
[07:08] <pbear> does anyone know which deb the network manager is in in ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso?
[07:09] <Jordan_U> Starminn: dos2unix /path/to/script
[07:09] <i4ba1_> my end goal is create combination serial number with hdd serial number
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: $PATH is a list of folders the interpreter looks for binarys etc, you don't type: /usr/bin/sudo  /usr/bin/apt-get install foo      do you, you just type: sudo apt-get install foo    the paths are not needed as the binaries used are in $PATH
[07:09] <i4ba1_> i create the application
[07:09] <i4ba1_> and the application need to execute the shell command to get the hdd serial number
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> pbear: network-manager-gnome   is my guess
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: did you mark the script as executable using chmod?
[07:10] <Starminn> ActionParsnip: So whenever you run a program it stores the program "name" in /usr/bin so you can just type the Program name instead of using the absolute path.
[07:10] <Starminn> ActionParsnip: Yep. I chmod +x  it
[07:10] <pbear> ActionParsnip: yea that's what i'm try to find but i can't find it, is it included in some other deb with a different name?
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: most times, yes. You can see all the folders with:  echo $PATH
[07:10] <Ub3r-N00b> could anyone recommend me encoding software for doc files ?
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> pbear: that will be the deb name
[07:11] <Mrwootwoot> anyone know how to get ubuntu to play a few seconds of the eye of the tiger as it boots up

[07:11] <lolcat> Mrwootwoot: Why not all of it?
[07:11] <Mrwootwoot> lolcat, long song lol
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> pbear: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/network-manager-gnome
[07:12] <ac7ss> i4bal_: that will remove the contents of the line before the serial number.
[07:12] <lolcat> Mrwootwoot: Still awesome! You could just cut it and set as login sound?
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: you can see which exact binary is used if you use the command: which
[07:12] <i4ba1_> ok ac7ss i try
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: e.g.     which nano
[07:12] <Mrwootwoot> lolcat, i mean i dunno how to do it, but yeah i'm trying to find something on it
[07:12] <lolcat> Mrwootwoot: The panel ddoes it
[07:13] <Mrwootwoot> lolcat, panel?
[07:13] <ac7ss> i4bal_: make that '|sed s/.*SerialNo =//
[07:13] <i4ba1_> ac7ss can you show me the full syntax?
[07:13] <lolcat> Mrwootwoot: Can't remember, but I saw the sentece somewhere
[07:13] <root_> hello everyone, somebody already tried ubuntu 11.04 on virtualbox and got it running? Mine won't install
[07:14] <Starminn> ActionParsnip: Awesome, thanks for the info. But anyway, so back to the original question. It is marked as executable, , the commands inside of it work wihout a doubt, but everytime I go to run it, the Terminal tells me it doesn't exist. (as opposed to the GUI which just... nothing happens whatsoever.)
[07:14] <Jordan_U> Starminn: Did you see my comment?
[07:14] <ac7ss> i4bal_: sudo hdparm -i /dev/sda | grep -i serial|sed s/.*SerialNo=//
[07:15] <Starminn> root_: I got it installed. I didn't have that sidebar though. I just went to Settings->Storage, and set whatever was Empty to my .iso on my HDD and installed. 11.04 help is in #ubuntu+1, though.
[07:16] <i4ba1_> ok thank you ac7ss
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: ok, use tab to complete the filename. Use the absolute reference (from /), does it help
[07:16] <i4ba1_> it's working
[07:16] <Starminn> Jordan_U: I did, but I didn't quite understand what you were saying. (I was hopign Action would recap it in plainer speak as he tends to do)
[07:16] <root_> starmin: i'll check that channel, tnx anyway
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> root_: also IRCing as root is a really BAD idea
[07:16] <Starminn> ActionParsnip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/583678/
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: you don't need the .sh file extension in linux ;)
[07:17] <cenobite> Whenever load on my system is too high, I can't ssh in. It comes up with the password prompt, but as soon as I enter it the system just hangs. Any ideas what I can do? Is there some way I can prioritize ssh?
[07:17] <root_> indeed, forgot to logoff, did upgrade trough phone, i will logoff root and come back...
[07:17] <Starminn> ActionParsnip: So I've been told. But.. I feel like.. I'm leaving the file so... naked...
[07:18] <ac7ss> i4bal_: did it work?
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: if you run:   gksudo gedit /usr/bin/quakelaunch.sh        and delete the carridge returns on the end of each line, then add a new CR (carridge return), does it help. BTW, a LOT of the commands you are running are simply scripts too, they have no file extesions too
[07:19] <RealEyes> how important is it -not- to show your local IP?
[07:19] <Starminn> ActionParsnip: Just tried without the extensionto no avail.
[07:19] <i4ba1_> yes it work ac7ss
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: it's the same, file extensions don't mean much in linux
[07:19] <i4ba1_> thank you very much ac7ss
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> RealEyes: local IP is worthless, it's the wan IP you should worry about if at all
[07:20] <RealEyes> alright thanks
[07:20] <Jordan_U> Starminn: Unix and Windows handle line endings differentely. You appear to have written your script with a Windows text editor. Running "dos2unix /path/to/script" will change the line endings to the Unix style.
[07:20] <ac7ss> i4bal_: sed is very worth learning.
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> RealEyes: there are billions of <IP_ADDRESS>/24 networks
[07:20] <navwey> join http://easyweed.tk/
[07:20] <navwey> join join http://easyweed.tk/
[07:20] <rww> navwey: Don't advertise in here.
[07:20] <Starminn> ActionParsnip: Still no luck.
[07:21] <i4ba1_> yes that's worth
[07:21] <i4ba1_> i never try that command before
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: try:  sudo apt-get install dos2unix; sudo dos2unix /usr/bin/quakelaunch.sh
[07:21] <Starminn> Jordan_U: Wow. I did not know that. Hmph... How do they differ? (Yes, I  know it's not great, but my favorite editor for code happens to be Notepad++ so I WINE it... good to know though..)
[07:21] <i4ba1_> because you ac7ss tell me about sed
[07:22] <i4ba1_> now i know about sed
[07:22] <Jordan_U> Starminn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: gedit is pretty similar and will make proper text files as well as use a tonne less resources to run
[07:22] <Mrwootwoot> anyone know how to change the color of the top and bottom bars... like blue fading to black?
[07:22] <i4ba1_> how long you use ubuntu ac7ss?
[07:22] <ac7ss> i4bal_: that's the trouble, finding out what the tool is to use. There are so many.
[07:23] <ac7ss> i4bal_: about 5 years straight now.
[07:23] <i4ba1_> wow great
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> Mrwootwoot: right click -> preferences then colour there possibly?
[07:24] <ac7ss> i4bal_: There is such a good community for support. So many ways to get to your end.
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> Mrwootwoot: I'm on natty now and haven't changed much like that due to laziness
[07:24]  * ac7ss has 50lbs of books on linux, not enough. :)
[07:24] <Starminn> Jordan_U ActionParsnip: Super duper awesome-ness. It works -- the dos2unix program is what did it (nice call, Jordan ;) ). It works in both /usr/bin/quakelaunch *and* /home/robert/quake/quakelaunch so awesome.
[07:25] <Mrwootwoot> ActionParsnip,  lol yeah i tried that but it only let;s me do solid colors
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: you can now run:   alacarte   and make a launcher to run the script
[07:25] <Starminn> ActionParsnip: I do mostly PHP, and Gedit just doesn't have the same robustness of power to it, even afte rI played around with a few plugins. :(
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: well you will need to use dos2unix for EVERY file you make
[07:26] <Jordan_U> Starminn: You might like SciTE as a text editor.
[07:26] <ac7ss> None better than vi (or vim) Jordan_U
[07:27]  * ac7ss discovered X over SSH this week. fun at work.
[07:28] <s7r> any ftp server with GUI on ubuntu 10.10 ?
[07:28] <Starminn> ActionParsnip: Nah. I'll make shell scripts in Gedit. I actually quite like Gedit for quick things, but it just doesn't do the job for me when you're staring had hundreds of lines of crap for extended periods of time... (I tried SciTE, Jordan_U, and while I do know that Notepad++ uses the same base as it, Notepad++ has built many features on top of it such as showing you exactly where things end and begin (I know Gedit does this too but
[07:28] <AnAnt> Hello, is there a tool like grep, that would search a binary file for a certain hex pattern ? and give out the address of that pattern ?
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> s7r: why does it need a GUI?
[07:29] <s7r> for easy management
[07:29] <s7r> set home folders for clients. permissions etc
[07:29] <Starminn> ActionParsnip Jordan_U: Thanks for the heads-up though, guys. I'll just have to bear in mind that shell scripts (or, well, anything for strictly Linux) I just need ot do in Gedit. *shrug* Fair enough. Thanks again, to both of you. :) You're both awesome.
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> s7r: if you install openssh-server you will get a secure ftp server and it will obey the unix permissions in your filesystem
[07:30] <quiescens> ftp servers aren't often recommended unless you have a really good reason o.o
[07:30] <Jordan_U> Starminn: You're welcome.
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> !info gproftpd
[07:30] <s7r> ActionParsnip: can i configure multiple clients on it ?
[07:30] <s7r> and set user available space?
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> s7r: sure, just make a new user like the one you are using this very second
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> s7r: or you can use webminto manage stuff using a web interface
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> !info pureadmin
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> there's also pureadmin which is a GUI to pureftpd
[07:32] <s7r> ActionParsnip: how i install it ?
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> ftp is godawful
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> s7r: install what? I named about 6 different softwares........
[07:32] <s7r> webminto
[07:32] <ac7ss> Oh, come on, FTP does what it was designed to do.
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> s7r: webmin is in software centre, like most other softwares
[07:32] <Starminn> Jordan_U: So I understand the difference between LF and CR, but what are/were the advantages of Linux using LF and Windows and friends using both?
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> ac7ss: sure but its very insecure and uses 2 ports (wasteful)
[07:33] <ac7ss> Starminn: CR/LF is a holdover from the teletype days.
[07:33] <cenobite> Whenever load on my system is too high, I can't ssh in. It comes up with the password prompt, but as soon as I enter it the system just hangs. Any ideas what I can do? Is there some way I can prioritize ssh?
[07:33] <Starminn> !webmin > s7r
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: they fixed the webmin issue now ;)
[07:34] <cenobite> as soon as I ssh in it's quite responsive, so I'm guessing there's a setting somewhere to limit ssh sessions under a specific load
[07:34] <s7r> thanks
[07:34] <s7r> i saw
[07:34] <Starminn> ac7ss: Well, what were the advantages back then, and are there currently any to this day of one over the other?
[07:34] <Starminn> ActionParsnip: Ah, well then.
[07:34] <Starminn> s7r: I retract my bot call to you.
[07:34] <ac7ss> No, now we have SSH and it can tunnel all sorts of stuff. (vpn, X, ftp)
[07:35] <Athenon> my ssh tunnels pretty much anything i like :)
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> ac7ss: its great to ssh from work to home, then launch irssi and chat
[07:35] <ac7ss> Does anyone still use archie?
[07:35] <Athenon> i usually use it to tunnel email, irc, and IM
[07:35] <ac7ss> ActionParsnip: That is what I am doing now.
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> ac7ss: i'll be doing the sameon my 12 hour shift tonight too :)
[07:36] <Jordan_U> Starminn: As C and Unix were developed together working with LF only is slightly easier in C (there is no difference between opening a binary or text file). There is no inherent advantage though.
[07:37]  * ac7ss will ssh and run pidgon
[07:37] <Starminn> Jordan_U: What do the majority of languages use? (Just languages -- not counting how most people use Windows.)
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> ac7ss: its also fun to run web browsers over X and play the sound through the serving sound device (also funny at 4am blaring out some Meshuggah to bother the neighbours ;))
[07:39] <Jordan_U> Starminn: Most languages follow the convention of the C standard libraries, strings are internally represented with only a single character for newline and on writing to a file the libraries convert to the OS's native format.
[07:39] <Athenon> ActionParsnip:  i annoy my friends when theyre over from the bathroom that way using my phone :)
[07:40] <ac7ss> ActionParsnip: I use mpg123 to play songs to my wife when she is on the computer.
[07:40] <Jordan_U> Starminn: On Unix no conversion is needed, on Windows conversion is needed, which is why there is a difference between opening a file as a binary file or as a text file in Windows but not in Unix.
[07:40] <ActionParsnip> ac7ss: or you can use espeak and tell her nice things to get brownie points
[07:41] <ac7ss> ActionParsnip: I will have to look into espeak...
[07:41] <ac7ss> cool and it's installed!
[07:41] <Starminn> Jordan_U: So (regarding the last bit about converting to the OS's native format) if I ran (just an example) Gedit in windows natively, and wrote something in C, it would then be saved in Windows format, and if I wrote the same in Linux, it would be saved for Linux.
[07:42] <ac7ss> ActionParsnip: cat "ShakespeareSonnets.txt" |espeak
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> ac7ss: hehe nice
[07:43] <ac7ss> don't forget the & on the end.
[07:45] <Jordan_U> Starminn: Ahh, I misunderstood what you meant. I thought you were talking about handling the writing of programs that deal with text files (for instance writing your own text editor in C). Almost all programming languages accept both line endings when compiling / interpreting source code. In fact Bash does as well, the only problem is with the '#! /bin/bash\n' which is not handled by bash but rather the kernel (I think) when looking for bash to use as an in
[07:47] <quuze> if i newly installed ubuntu as eg. bill, then is bill the root?
[07:47] <Starminn> quuze: There isn't really a "root." bill is the "Admin" account. To run something as root use "Sudo"
[07:47] <mancio> #osd
[07:48] <Starminn> Well, there is a root but you should never need it
[07:49]  * ac7ss "sudo su root" often.
[07:49] <ac7ss> not recommended.
[07:49] <Starminn> Jordan_U: Ah. So if I wrote the rest of the command (everything *but* the call to the interpreter) in Windows/WINE and copy/pasted it ti wouldn't matter, but if I did that with #! /bin/bash it would screw it  up
[07:49] <lolcat> ac7ss: sudo su -
[07:50] <Jordan_U> Starminn: Correct.
[07:50] <ac7ss> I type fast enough to type root.
[07:51] <Starminn> Jordan_U: Aha. Now, tell me more about how Linux doesn't (usually) require file extensions. I assume for pictures and such it does ( some .jpgs and .pngs and such), but what *doesn't* it need them for? (Sorry if I'm a bother. I had wondered why some files were only a name and now I can get an answer! ;) )
[07:52] <ac7ss> Starminn: many files have identifying labels in their 'headers' and linux will find the correct program.
[07:53] <[deXter]> Starminn: Most files don't need an extension, usually the header or attributes tell what sort of file it is
[07:53] <Starminn> ac7ss: What makes the headers?
[07:54] <Jordan_U> Starminn: They are part of the file format for pretty much every type of file.
[07:54] <ac7ss> Starminn: part of the file standard. look an a dump and you will see it at the beginning of the file. (gif87 is the first to come to mind.)
[07:58] <Starminn> ac7ss Jordan_U: aha.
[07:58] <Jak3st3r>  know this is ubuntu..... but can anyone spare a moment a tell me how to register on an IRC Server?
[07:58] <jamiewan> anyone using "motion" on their webcam, i can't access web feed from it remotely only on the camera machine thru browser
[07:58] <Starminn> So, which ones do I need extensions for other than multimedia?
[07:59] <Starminn> !register | Jak3st3r
[07:59] <zairo> hi. is it possible to install blackberry simulator on headless ubuntu linux?
[07:59] <[deXter]> Starminn: generally, you don't need extensions.
[08:00] <Starminn> [deXter]: So basically, try it, and if it doesn't work, *then* add an extension.
[08:00] <ac7ss> Extensions are for the user to identify the file,
[08:00] <Starminn> How long has it been this way (on Linux)? (I assume Windows requires them).
[08:00] <[deXter]> Starminn: yep but it doesn't harm to add the extension, especially if you're sharing the files with other OSes / devices / systems
[08:00] <[deXter]> Starminn: It's been like this since the beginning
[08:00] <[deXter]> Starminn: In the rare event that you find a file that isn't recognised, use the "file" command to see if it can identify the mime-type
[08:00] <ac7ss> Yes, Win does require them.
[08:02] <Starminn> Awesome. Thank you very much, everyone.
[08:02] <ac7ss> The big difference will be in different plaintext documents.
[08:02] <h3r0> hi friends...
[08:02] <ac7ss> IE a KML flie vs a XPF. (linux sees both as text files.)
[08:03] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: windows is STILL holding onto it's DOS days of 8.3 filenames and still uses the extension to identify the filetype, Linux doesn't and analyses the data. You can give a script the file extension .jp and it will STILL be a script. Windows would see it as an image (which it isn't), try and open i with a graphical app and fail
[08:03] <eltigre> hey, I have a problem with two computers connected via ethernet... I'd like to access the webserver on a port 8000 on one computer from the other one
[08:03] <eltigre> how can I do that?
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> eltigre: http://hostname:8000
[08:04] <h3r0_> i've got some question that is st**id.. i want to know the hostname in my network company
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> eltigre: obviously change hostname to the actual hostname
[08:04] <eltigre> ah sorry forgot to say that won't work
[08:04] <Starminn> ActionParsnip: So Linux actually give a crap about what extension you give it. It only cares about content.
[08:04] <h3r0_> but it did not return any respons...
[08:04] <ActionParsnip> eltigre: or try:   http://ip.address.of.server:8000
[08:04] <almoxarife> eltigre: use the IP of the machine
[08:04] <Starminn> actually doesn't give a crap*
[08:05] <quiescens> that's not a very fair assessment
[08:05] <h3r0_> im using ubuntu jaunty
[08:05] <eltigre> as I said it doesn't work
[08:05] <h3r0_> some of the windows computer did respon with their hostname
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> Starminn: exactly, people whom script in a lot of languages can use it to denote the language used but it will still work the same. You can even use names like:   quake.thisisabashscript   etc, very flexible
[08:05] <almoxarife> Starminn: I have found that it does in some instances, mainly text file extentions
[08:05] <quiescens> there are benefits to both options
[08:05] <h3r0_> but some computer like redhat linux didnt return their hostname
[08:05] <eltigre> the server is running on the same port. On the same computer I can access the site
[08:06] <Jordan_U> h3r0_: Jaunty is no longer supported.
[08:06] <h3r0_> what should i do friends?
[08:06] <ActionParsnip> h3r0_: jaunty is no longer supported
[08:06] <Jordan_U> !eol | h3r0_
[08:06] <h3r0_> oh too bad :(
[08:06] <histo> !upgrade | h3r0_
[08:06] <ljsoftnet> is there a intel GMA 3150 driver for ubuntu?
[08:06] <h3r0_> i just want to ask about the network in linux
[08:06] <quiescens> purely relying on content type magic means having to open every file and having a look at it to try to work out which files are of the type you want
[08:06] <h3r0_> how can i get a hostname from linux server that they didnt implement samba?
[08:06] <Ben64> ljsoftnet: should just be the open source intel driver that is built in
[08:07] <h3r0_> or netbios?
[08:07] <ActionParsnip> h3r0_: you can search in your router's dhcp clients table
[08:07] <ljsoftnet> Ben64 oh its already in ubuntu 10.04?
[08:07] <eltigre> how can I open the 8000 for other computer to reach it?
[08:08] <Ben64> ljsoftnet: it should have been in for years
[08:08] <h3r0_> oh means i need to nslookup or dig?
[08:08] <h3r0_> but our company use static ip :(
[08:08] <ljsoftnet> Ben64 how do i know if it is installed?
[08:09] <ac7ss> eltigre: do you have apache running?
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> eltigre: if it's 2 machines on the same lan and you havn't configured your firewall then it's already open
[08:09] <Ben64> ljsoftnet: the module should be included with all installs
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> ljsoftnet: http://www.ivankristianto.com/os/ubuntu/install-intel-latest-driver-to-your-ubuntu-10-04/1278/
[08:09] <ActionParsnip> ljsoftnet: its already included, you may just need an xorg.conf file to get it going
[08:09] <Ben64> i remember using intel gma on edgy eft
[08:10]  * ActionParsnip only  uses nvidia vga
[08:10] <Ben64> my laptop doesn't have a choice :P
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> but  you had choice in the laptop.....
[08:11] <Ben64> intel driver has some nice tools though, like intel_gpu_top
[08:11] <Ben64> ActionParsnip: not really... got mine for $300.
[08:12] <sl33k_> how to find if my ubuntu is 64/32 bits?
[08:12] <Ben64> sl33k_: uname -a
[08:12] <sl33k_> thanks
[08:13] <sl33k_> Ben64: it says i686
[08:13] <Ben64> actually, uname -m just prints what you want
[08:13] <osxfr33k> Does the nvidia nouveau support Graphics acceleration?  I am assuming not because the compiz affects are not working?
[08:13] <Ben64> sl33k_: i686 should be 32 bit
[08:14] <osxfr33k> This is for Ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition
[08:14] <Ben64> osxfr33k: not sure if it supports accel, but the proprietary driver works great
[08:14] <sl33k_> Ben64, are you sure
[08:14] <rypervenche> How can I rename a bunch of files from .gif to .jpg?
[08:14] <Ben64> x86_64 would be 64
[08:14] <sl33k_> oh sorry
[08:15] <Ben64> rypervenche: rename or convert
[08:15] <osxfr33k> I am at a loss as to why when I install the nvidia 96  prop. driver I get a black screen.  I have to edit the xorg.conf file and  change "nvidia" to "nv" to get my screen back
[08:15] <Blou_Aap> where can I find menu.lst now ?
[08:15] <SwedeMike> !grub2 | Blou_Aap
[08:15] <Blou_Aap> i havent edited that file since 9.04
[08:15] <osxfr33k> I have a Dell C840 with Geofroce4Go 440 graphics card with 64MB
[08:16] <Ben64> osxfr33k: how do you install it, which gpu do you have, what version of ubuntu
[08:16] <Blou_Aap> :O thats cool
[08:16] <Starminn> If I pop open a Terminal, and run a file or programs or something, it has to stay open till I either force quit the application along with the Terminal, or I close the app. How do I open it without requiring Terminal the whole time too? For example, << gksudo nautilus >>
[08:16] <osxfr33k> 10.10 desktop I install it from system admin driver
[08:16] <osxfr33k> I have all the updated so GDM must be the latest
[08:16] <Ben64> Starminn: go to the terminal, hit CTRL+Z, then type "bg", then you can exit the terminal
[08:17] <ac7ss> rpyervenche: rename "s/.*\.jpg/.gif/" *.jpg
[08:17] <osxfr33k> updated software I meant
[08:17] <ohzie> Hey what package controls the boot splash?
[08:17] <Ben64> Starminn: or when you run a program, run it with & at the end
[08:17] <osxfr33k> gpu I just mentioned it above
[08:17] <seto> Blou_Aap: I think that you are looking for /boot/grub/grub.cfg ?
[08:17] <Blou_Aap> ye
[08:17] <seto> (seems to replace menu.lst
[08:17] <Mrokii> Hello. Does anybody know a database where I can see which printers/scanners work with Ubuntu?
[08:17] <Blou_Aap> got it thanks
[08:18] <Blou_Aap> wow big difference though
[08:18] <osxfr33k>  Geofroce4Go 440 graphics card with 64MB
[08:18] <osxfr33k> NV17
[08:18] <osxfr33k> Is that Prop driver basically the same when Nvidia supplies from there site?
[08:18] <osxfr33k> that does not work either
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> rpyervenche: convert: mogrify -format jpg *.gif
[08:19] <Starminn> ben64: Aha, thank you. Both of those did it (although "bg" was unecessary)
[08:19] <eltigre> I am still having trouble to access a webserver over a local network
[08:19] <Ben64> Starminn: err... "bg 1"
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> osxfr33k:  I believe the nvidia 96 driver is in the proposed repo
[08:20] <Ben64> Starminn: otherwise the program woiuld probably be frozen
[08:20] <eltigre> I now how to address it, the other computer just refuses the connection
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> eltigre: can you ping the hostname, or the IP?
[08:20] <eltigre> yes, connection is fine
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> eltigre: is the service running and on the right port?
[08:20] <eltigre> yes
[08:21] <Starminn> Ben64: No, no, no, I mean I run let's say << gksudo nautilus >>. I go to the Terminal, hit CTRL+Z, and it runs fine
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> eltigre: ok can you open the page on the local system?
[08:21] <eltigre> yes
[08:21] <Ben64> Starminn: well thats cause nautilus is always running :)
[08:21] <osxfr33k> But the release notes sais there is an issue with that Prop driver in Ubuntu 10.10 meerkat and not because of the distro release but because of xorg 1.9
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> eltigre: is there an access restriction in the config to only allow local access by default?
[08:21] <Starminn> Ben64: Ah. Good point.
[08:21] <Firefishe> What is the channel for e17?
[08:21] <eltigre> ActionParsnip, now, it's a django development server
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> Firefishe: #enlightenment maybe
[08:22] <eltigre> and there are usually no restrictions. Other projects don't work either
[08:22] <Firefishe> ActionParsnip: thanks (I'm probalby going to have to 'doh' my brain for even asking this). ;)
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> eltigre: and is there a local firewall running with someconfig (a firewall lis installed by default, its just unconfigured and allows everything)
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> Firefishe: sorry its #e
[08:23] <eltigre> that might be, and that's why I am asking how to find out
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> eltigre: well, did you add any rules?
[08:23] <eltigre> I don't remember setting up a firewall
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> eltigre: then it's not that
[08:23] <ActionParsnip> eltigre: ok when you try and connect do you get any http error codes?
[08:24] <eltigre> no, there is just the refused connection
[08:24] <ac7ss> eltigre: is anything showing in the apache logs when you try to connect?
[08:24] <ActionParsnip> eltigre: i think there may be some access rules in the service
[08:25] <eltigre> there are no apache logs and no, the connection is not established at all
[08:25] <eltigre> it looks like a firewall
[08:25] <timlk> im using ubuntu 10.10...when i lock the screen, my wallpaper is not shown..is there a way to show the wallpaper on the lock screen as well ?
[08:26] <Bonding> any user could help me with bonding?
[08:26] <eltigre> ActionParsnip, how can I check if I have some firewall enabled?
[08:27] <ActionParsnip> eltigre: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo     shows what a none configured firewall will show
[08:28] <gnewb> eltigre: Are you using a third party or GUI package for firewall, nevermind, Thank you ActionParsnip.
[08:28] <eltigre> no iptable entries
[08:29] <van7hu> hey,I want to develop a app for playing music? what do I need to know?
[08:29] <ac7ss> van7hu: mpg123
[08:29] <ac7ss> :)
[08:29] <eltigre> or well there are entries, but just routing, nothing about ports and basically acceptin everything
[08:29] <van7hu> yeah,thanks
[08:30] <gnewb> eltigre: Have you read the MAN on UFW?
[08:30] <ac7ss> van7hu: you want a playlist, gui or what.
[08:30] <eltigre> no
[08:30] <shipship> hi! is it possible to download the hole repo like it is possible in debian by downloading all 8 dvds?
[08:30] <van7hu> ac7ss:just CLI
[08:30] <eltigre> but ufw won't help me if there are no concflicting iptable rules?
[08:30] <sagaci> shipship, mirror a mirror
[08:30] <AnthraxSSH>  Good morning!
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> shipship: you can make your own apt server and it will pull down all the debs
[08:31] <ac7ss> van7hu: easily scripted with existing commands. (mpg123 is my favorite.)
[08:31] <gnewb> eltigre: Ubuntu is shipped or written with UFW , you can enable/disable by CLI.
[08:32] <van7hu> ac7ss: develop an app for getting experience
[08:32] <eltigre> gnewb,  ufw is disabled
[08:33] <ac7ss> van7hu: I can think of an easy way to write a sh app that will read a file, take the first entry, play it and strip that line. just keep adding lines to the file to continue the playlist.
[08:33] <gnewb> eltigre: Then you have no firewall active.
[08:33] <DJones> shipship: http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror
[08:33] <van7hu> ac7ss: good advice
[08:34] <gnewb> eltigre: Actually you do, iptables, UFW is a front end for iptables.
[08:34] <shipship> thanks
[08:35] <eltigre> ok... so why is the connection refused?
[08:35] <gnewb> eltigre: Do you have the proper access scripts in place?
[08:36] <ayaka> I want to how to remote contro; m$,I remove the program and I forget it name
[08:36] <eltigre> what is a proper access script?
[08:36] <eltigre> I might have  configured something in the last five years on that machine, that I am not aware that it is troubling me now....
[08:36] <ac7ss> ayaka: what do you mean by remote control? (microsoft?)
[08:36] <gnewb> eltigre: Looking it up now,
[08:36] <ayaka> ac7ss, yes
[08:37] <eltigre> and as I am not an extremely competent sysadmin, I am looking here for help ;-)
[08:37] <ac7ss> ayaka: you mean like telnet? or remote display?
[08:38] <gnewb> eltigre: This may be what you need:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
[08:38] <eltigre> ufw is disabled
[08:38] <czardoz> ayaka, are you talking about VNC?
[08:38] <ayaka> ac7ss, not telent,remote display
[08:38] <eltigre> can a disabled ufw cause any trouble?
[08:38] <gior> elisa
[08:38] <ac7ss> ayaka: rdesktop maybe?
[08:39] <gnewb> eltigre: iptables are still active, UFW is a front end for iptables.
[08:40] <ayaka> ac7ss, no,the ubuntu default install one
[08:41] <ac7ss> ayaka: rdesktop was the one installed with my distro.
[08:44] <ayaka> ac7ss, I want to the one with GUI
[08:45] <eltigre> gnewb,  I am now sure that there is no iptables or ufw configuration in place that would block the access
[08:45] <Neroon> hi everyone
[08:46] <gnewb> eltigre: Then we are moving forward. re-start the kernel to see if it reverts?
[08:46] <tyreza> hello
[08:47] <Neroon> Anyone got a clue about analogue joysticks on the gameport?
[08:47] <eltigre> gnewb,  what do you mean by restarting the kernel?
[08:47] <tyreza> hello there
[08:48] <eltigre> I already rebooted a gazillion times since I have this problem
[08:48] <tyreza> i can't able to chmod
[08:48] <gnewb> eltigre: Like a reboot, or log out and in.
[08:48] <tyreza> what i have to do ?
[08:49] <ruan> is it ok to have sun java and openjdk installed?
[08:49] <ruan> both
[08:50] <eltigre> gnewb, yes I am sure of that
[08:50] <Neroon> ruan: afaik it doesn't hurt
[08:50] <howler> I am trying to compile the source code of shotwell 0.8.1  , after doing the ./configure i am unable to do the make function . But i am getting an error as Package gexiv2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
[08:50] <howler> Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gexiv2.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gexiv2' found make: *** [src/.stamp] Error 1 ! I i have installed the required package what to do now ?
[08:50] <eltigre> btw I can access apache on the same computer
[08:50] <eltigre> but that's another port
[08:51] <ruan> since the icedtea plugin only works with openjdk and i prefer sun java
[08:51] <gnewb> eltigre: Here is an Ubuntu iptables-HowTo:> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo?action=show&redirect=Iptables
[08:51] <eltigre> ok
[08:51] <Neroon> ruan: i had both running on my second pc here. worked just fine
[08:52] <ac7ss> ayaka: you want a gui front end...
[08:52] <ayaka> ac7ss, yes
[08:52] <Softdroid> I have problem with skype and Ubuntu. I can hear the one i'm communicating with but the other part does not hear me
[08:52] <eltigre> but normally if all kinds of connections,routing and port 80 works, and there is no disallowing iptable rule, the access should not be blocked?
[08:52] <Neroon> so noone could offer some help with a joystick problem?
[08:53] <gnewb> eltigre: On your end, correct, on the other end is where the solution may need to be implemented.
[08:53] <tyreza> hello there
[08:53] <tyreza> anyone there ?
[08:53] <tyreza> i can't able to chmod
[08:54] <ac7ss> ayaka: tsclient
[08:54] <eltigre> gnewb, I meant I can access port 80 the same way I would like to access 8000
[08:54] <Neroon> tyreza: what do you want to chmod and what did you do?
[08:55] <gnewb> eltigre: Ahh. that is a Networking thing, I believe you have access, or should have, I will have to look that one up,,,,
[08:56] <eltigre> sorry I found the solution I think
[08:56] <ayaka> ac7ss, yes that one,thank you
[08:56] <ac7ss> ayaka: google to the rescue.
[08:58] <eltigre> the service I was using implicitly only connects to <IP_ADDRESS> by default, won't complain about it and I just had the assumption it would listen on all interfaces
[08:58] <ayaka> ac7ss, I'm so sorry,I don't speak english,can tell me the search key of this question
[08:58] <ac7ss> ayaka: I searched for "rdesktop gui" (Not a problem.)
[08:59] <Softdroid> How can I make alsa the default driver without removing the pulse driver?
[08:59] <ayaka> ac7ss, oh,I know
[08:59] <tyreza> i want to chmod a web directory when i try to do chmod -R 777 /www Neroon
[08:59] <tyreza> it say not permitted
[09:00] <ac7ss> tyreza: who is the owner of the directory?
[09:00] <ayaka> ac7ss, thank you once again
[09:00] <smof> hi
[09:00] <smof> There is a smylink named /tmp/a.txt which points the file /tmp/b.txt  I want to copy a.txt to another place but I don't want to copy the symlink, instead of this, copied file must be original (b.txt). can anyone help?
[09:00] <Softdroid> tyreza: try sudo chmod -R 777 /www Neroon
[09:00] <ac7ss> tyreza: you may have to sudo that
[09:00] <Mrokii> hello Does VueScan work with Ubuntu?
[09:01] <ac7ss> Mrokii: yes there is a linux distrobution.
[09:01] <ac7ss> Mrokii: No, I haven't used it.
[09:01] <ruan> what is vuescan?
[09:02] <ruan> or rather, its purpose
[09:02] <Mrokii> I saw the generic Linux-distribution but I am not sure if it works with Ubuntu (if there are any problems unsing that version).
[09:02] <Neroon> tyreza: as softdroid already said, you might need to type: sudo chmod -R 777 /www
[09:02] <ac7ss> ruan: scanner software.
[09:03] <ruan> ok.
[09:03] <Softdroid> Anyone who have solution to my problem? :)
[09:03] <ac7ss> Mrokii: you could install the .deb.
[09:03] <ruan> Softdroid: gksudo gstreamer-properties
[09:03] <tyreza> but my user don't have the sudo access Nero
[09:03] <tyreza> but my user don't have the sudo access Neroon
[09:04] <ac7ss> Mrokii: looks like you may have to compile it.
[09:04] <tyreza> sudo not working
[09:04] <ac7ss> tyreza: you will need to have the correct permissions to do that. talk to your administrator.
[09:05] <Neroon> well, then you might not be able to chmod. or who is the owner of that directory?
[09:05] <Neroon> tyreza:  well, then you might not be able to chmod. or who is the owner of that directory?
[09:05] <Mrokii> ac7ss: Yep, I didn't see a deb, only the generic linux-distribution. I guess I'll hav to try to compile it to see if it works. Though there could still be problems when I actally connect a scanner.
[09:05] <gnewb> eltigre: One of these posts has that same issue covered:>http://lists.therestfulway.com/pipermail/webmachine_lists.therestfulway.com/2010-August/000276.html
[09:05] <gnugr> hey guys never give rights 777 max 775 and then change to 644
[09:05] <eltigre> gnewb, it works now
[09:05] <gnewb> eltigre: Sweet!
[09:06] <eltigre> btw I have a stale sshfs, I killed it but I can't unmount the directory
[09:06] <eltigre> and I can't use lsof because "socket does not exist"
[09:06] <eltigre> lsof: status error on /media/laptop: Transport endpoint is not connected
[09:06] <tPl0ch> Hello, what could be the problem if my CD-ROM Drive (Combi Drive) is not recognizing CDs anymore?
[09:06] <eltigre> argh
[09:07] <ruan> tPl0ch: how long have you had that CD-rom drive?
[09:07] <Ben64> drives die after a while
[09:07] <eltigre> now that works
[09:07] <eltigre> but I am getting aggressive already
[09:07] <ruan> i've had 3 cdrom drives fail on me, crashing the PC on operations
[09:07] <Softdroid> ruan: Thanks!
[09:07] <tPl0ch> ruan, well, it was shipped with the PC 3 years I guess
[09:07] <tPl0ch> +/- some months
[09:07] <Ben64> tPl0ch: what does dmesg say when you put a disc in?
[09:08] <ruan> one makes the pc unbootable, other crashes pc on cd insertion, and other one makes a hard drive undetectable
[09:08] <trichard> hey, is there any way to get itunes podcasts in banshee?

[09:17] <sl33k_> how to manually start updates?
[09:18] <ruan> sl33k_: disable update manager on startup and open it when you want to update?
[09:18] <gnewb> !update | sl33k

[09:20] <jsoft> What would be the best vm hosting software to use?
[09:20] <ljsoftnet> jsoft i like virtual box
[09:20] <ruan> virtualbox/vmware for full emulation. wine for simply running applications
[09:21] <jsoft> hmm
[09:21] <tyreza> here it is ac7ss
[09:21] <tyreza> http://paste.ubuntu.com/583712/
[09:21] <jsoft> what is the state of virtualbox? I thought it would be... lame from oracle?
[09:21] <ruan> havent personally tried virtualbox yet.
[09:21] <ljsoftnet> jsoft just give it a try
[09:22] <ljsoftnet> jsoft very easy to use
[09:22] <J450N__> virtualbox is awesome
[09:22] <jsoft> ive used it ages ago, when opensolaris was still kicking
[09:22] <tgywa> can I get file creation date on ubunut ?
[09:22] <jsoft> ljsoftnet: ive used it before.
[09:22] <ruan> i've tried vmware and it worked well for me, but i cant compare it till i see others
[09:22] <jsoft> ljsoftnet: just not since oracle took over sun.
[09:22] <llutz> tgywa: no
[09:23] <ruan> tgywa: you can only get last modified date
[09:23] <ac7ss> tryeza: chmod -R 777 /www
[09:23] <tgywa> ruan, how ?
[09:23] <ruan> tgywa: right click > properties
[09:23] <tgywa> no command line
[09:23] <ruan> hmm command line
[09:24] <llutz> tgywa: stat file
[09:24] <tgywa> llutz, thank u
[09:24] <ruan> modify and change mean the same thing don't they?
[09:24] <llutz> ruan: no
[09:24] <tPl0ch> Ben64, ruan http://pastebin.com/j9mb98zT - no luck with the boot from DVD
[09:24] <yogi__> why if i open or create new solution on monodevelop i got this error : Error: Error: A dependency of a referenced assembly may be missing, or you may be referencing an assembly created with a newer CLR version. See the compilation output for more details. (oncombro)
[09:24] <tyreza> it say t say not permitted
[09:25] <ruan> tPl0ch: so far it sounds like the cdrom is at fault
[09:25] <tyreza> let me explain you from first
[09:25] <llutz> ruan: http://articles.rootsmith.ca/linux/unix-access-modify-and-change-times
[09:25] <ac7ss> tryeza: chmod 777 /www
[09:25] <tyreza> not working too
[09:25] <tPl0ch> ruan, :(
[09:25] <tPl0ch> crap
[09:26] <tyreza> sorry
[09:26] <gnugr> omg please guys never 777 permissions, its easy for hacking
[09:26] <tyreza> simply chmod 777 /www working
[09:26] <datalay> ls / | xargs rm -fr
[09:26] <tyreza> but with -R not working
[09:26] <llutz> datalay: STOP
[09:26] <datalay> why :P
[09:27] <ac7ss> tryeza: some subdirectory contains files you don't have permissions for.
[09:27] <ruan> never follow random commands on irc?
[09:27] <Jordan_U> !danger
[09:27] <datalay> :)) okay sir
[09:27] <llutz> ruan: lots will blindly type those commands :(
[09:27] <lavarox> join #kubuntu
[09:27] <gnugr> max permissions should be 775 and after setup must be changed to 644
[09:28] <jsoft> What command
[09:28] <jsoft> oh whoa
[09:28] <jsoft> lol
[09:28] <jsoft> the xargs one :D
[09:28] <ruan> sounds like it deletes everything in /home
[09:29] <jsoft> try /
[09:29] <datalay> we can recover them come on give a chance
[09:29] <datalay> :P
[09:29] <llutz> ruan: it deletes everything a user has writeaccess
[09:29] <jsoft> oh yeah, would be normal user.
[09:29] <ruan> yeah but a user only has writeaccess to /home
[09:29] <llutz> datalay: stop that nonsense
[09:29] <tPl0ch> sudo chown -R username:www-data && sudo chmod -R g+wX /www
[09:29] <ruan> in most cases at least
[09:30] <llutz> ruan: just scroll back and read all those nice "chmod 777" tipps and you'll see the reality
[09:30] <jsoft> tPl0ch: whats that last bit do?
[09:30] <ac7ss> he doesn't have admin powers... tPl0ch.
[09:30] <jsoft> tPl0ch: whats the actual numbers?
[09:30] <datalay> find /www -type f -exec chmod -R 777 {} \;
[09:30] <froes>  hi guys, i used to use init and was able to start 2 XDM instances on my machine. tty0-tty3 was consoles and tty4 and tty5 were gdm consoles. is there a way i can do it on upstart or should i go back to init ?
[09:31] <ac7ss> tryeza: datalay has the right idea, it will only change the ones you can change.
[09:31] <daiichi> hey all, I'd have a quick question .. has anyone evaluated the performance gains of Wayland yet?
[09:31] <jsoft> daiichi: what is Wayland?

[09:32] <daiichi> in place of X
[09:32] <froes> llutz, i used to configure on /etc/inittab
[09:32] <froes> i can find some upstart script but cant find where to config on which tty it will start or how many instances
[09:33] <llutz> froes: since ubuntu uses upstart and not init, you have to configure the scripts in /etc/init now
[09:33] <czardoz> whats good about upstart?
[09:33] <llutz> czardoz: very good question
[09:33] <czardoz> i mean, what are the differences between upstart and init?
[09:33] <froes> llutz, and now i am back to my old question:     i used to use init and was able to start 2 XDM instances on my machine. tty0-tty3 was consoles and tty4 and tty5 were gdm consoles. is there a way i can do it on upstart or should i go back to init ?
[09:33] <tsimpson> !upstart
[09:34] <offsense> anone using cacti in here?
[09:34] <jsoft> cacti
[09:34] <perfect> hi
[09:34] <jsoft> why does that ring a bell
[09:34] <jsoft> monitoring software?
[09:34] <offsense_> jsoft: yeah that one
[09:34] <jsoft> offsense_: I think I looked at it and ended up sticking with nagios
[09:35] <jsoft> offsense_: it might have changed a lot since.
[09:36] <froes> nah ... just easyer to go back and get rid of inittab ... dont need it anyways
[09:36] <froes> get rid of pstart
[09:36] <offsense_> jsoft: yeah am using both actually, do u knw how to change poller interval in cacti
[09:36] <offsense_> i try to change it but it doesnt change a thing
[09:37] <perfect> 哦！我发现我到天堂了
[09:37] <ruan> again, i am confused between chinese and japanese
[09:37] <DJones> !cn | perfect
[09:37] <perfect> !cn>
[09:38] <perfect> !cn?
[09:38] <llutz> froes: remove /etc/init/tty[56].conf, duplicate/change /etc/init/gdm.conf to start gdm twice
[09:38] <czardoz> llutz, you on upstart?
[09:38] <llutz> czardoz: not yet
[09:39] <czardoz> hmm
[09:39] <czardoz> ok
[09:39] <llutz> czardoz: only  netbook runs ubuntu
[09:39] <froes> llutz, humm ... so i cant specify which tty it is going to run  ?
[09:39] <czardoz> I see
[09:40] <critical_max> OK, before I embark on an AutoIT+Wine project, is there a better alternative now for very simple GUI automation? (click through defaults on an installer app)
[09:40] <Neroon> anyone got a clue about joystick configuration?
[09:40] <czardoz> froes, you'll just have to go through all the config files I guess
[09:40] <critical_max> I have read about Sikuli but have no experience with it
[09:41] <ruan> critical_max: keyboard macros?
[09:41] <froes> czardoz, i cant see anything like that on the upstart script or the Xorg config files
[09:41] <ruan> tab, enter, etc
[09:41] <froes> so my assumption is that i cant do it
[09:42] <froes> can i set a environment variable on upstart ?
[09:42] <froes> i just need to export $DISPLAY
[09:42] <froes> so i can actually do that
[09:42] <critical_max> I need to be able to select radio buttons for license agreement, at least. I suppose it could possibly be done with a keyboard bot.
[09:42] <froes> just before
[09:42] <ruan> display seems to be a command
[09:43] <critical_max> ruan: i will check out if it's keyboardable, before chasing a GUI recorder app down. good point.
[09:44] <Penfold> derp
[09:44] <critical_max> herp
[09:45] <Stormshadow> hi all - question - i need a sound recorder and was thinking of the best utility to use - basically, there's this track which I'd like to have as mp3 (it's not a commercial track mind you) - I can play it from the website and I'd really like to have it saved as mp3, is there a way?
[09:45] <ruan> yep, it's keyboardable. tab is a good key there
[09:45] <ac7ss> night all.
[09:46] <czardoz> Stormshadow, is it flash content?
[09:46] <coz_> Stormshadow,  there is a firefox addon named    "video downloadhelper"   < that is the way it is spelled.... It should download the file in its original format
[09:46] <Stormshadow> its not a video
[09:46] <Stormshadow> its sound
[09:47] <Stormshadow> the file is from kpmmusic
[09:47] <Stormshadow> not sure whether its flash
[09:47] <ruan> Stormshadow: audacity or sound recorder
[09:47] <Ja23> Some files that I download go missing and I cannot find them while browsing...? any ideas?  This happens to bittorrent files from Transmission.  I know the files are there because I can ask Transmission to "Show the Files" but when I move up to the Downloads folder they're not there...
[09:48] <ruan> Ja23: when you save them, do you choose "open"?
[09:48] <czardoz> Ja23, usesearch to find 'em ;-)
[09:48] <czardoz> *use search
[09:48] <Creat0r> is there is software works on ubuntu that can allow me to make backup for all the host in my network?
[09:48] <ruan> hmm though
[09:48] <Ja23> They're downloaded on my computer by transmission, and are for sure there, just don't show up in nautilus...
[09:48] <Stormshadow> can audacity record to mp3 any sound coming out from my sound device?
[09:48] <czardoz> try pressing ctrl+h
[09:49] <Stormshadow> irrespective of what the sound format is
[09:49] <Ja23> Didn't work
[09:49] <Ja23> They are on a seperate partitions
[09:49] <czardoz> Stormshadow, save and then convert if you want
[09:49] <ruan> Stormshadow: yes
[09:49] <ruan> Stormshadow: but you need the LAME library first
[09:49] <Stormshadow> is it a matter of playing the sound on the web url and running a record session on audacity?
[09:50] <critical_max> ruan: ok, i can key through it all (if focus is not disturbed, it's an ancient windows app and flaky). working on xvkbd script now.
[09:50] <ruan> Stormshadow: yea
[09:50] <Softdroid> Please help. when I try to login in as sudo i get this message -> Softdroid is not in the sudoers file.  This incident will be reported.
[09:50] <critical_max> stormshadow: yes
[09:50] <Ja23> Alllso, when I logon to windows 7 the file's don't show up there either
[09:50] <critical_max> stormshadow: record from "default" device, make sure play through is disabled (default is stereo mix)
[09:50] <ruan> this incident will be reported? lol
[09:50] <czardoz> Softdroid, you need to be in the "wheel" group
[09:51] <Softdroid> czardoz: How is that possible?
[09:51] <critical_max> stormshadow: then you can export your audacity project as mp3 when you're happy with it. recommend wav though since you can.
[09:51] <czardoz> Softdroid, see "man usermod"
[09:51] <Softdroid> czardoz: I could login as sudo for some minutes ago. But i get that message now when i try.
[09:52] <llutz> czardoz: "admin "   not wheel
[09:52] <Stormshadow> playthrough is unchecked
[09:52] <Stormshadow> when i click record, the signal remains zeroed
[09:53] <kriume> lol
[09:53] <llutz> Softdroid: ask your administrator to add you to the "admin" group (sudo adduser <username> admin)
[09:53] <Softdroid> llutz: I'm the only one who is using this computer
[09:53] <Stormshadow> device is default
[09:53] <llutz> Softdroid: then you screwed up your sudoers-file
[09:53] <czardoz> llutz, you're right, it is wheel for arch :)
[09:54] <Softdroid> llutz: I wrote some command for fixing the audio with the skype.
[09:54] <llutz> czardoz: wheel for most distros but ubuntu
[09:54] <Softdroid> llutz: is is possible to fix it again?
[09:54] <czardoz> right-o
[09:54] <czardoz> Softdroid, use "usermod"
[09:54] <Softdroid> by login as root=?
[09:54] <czardoz> see its man page
[09:54] <ruby_on_tails> hi
[09:54] <czardoz> yes, by logging as root
[09:54] <ruan> Stormshadow: is it a bold blue or just a light blue line?
[09:55] <Stormshadow> bold
[09:55] <ruby_on_tails> i am playing some videos on youtube, weird, i get sound only from 1, all other videos are soundless, what should i do ?
[09:55] <Softdroid> here is the command i used --> usermod -Gaudio username
[09:56] <czardoz> why audio?
[09:56] <ruan> Stormshadow: i have the same issue. can you hear sound if you amplify it under Effect?
[09:56] <czardoz> you need to be in the "admin" group :)
[09:56] <Softdroid> i don't know. I read this page -> http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=4489
[09:56] <Softdroid> After that i can't use sudo
[09:56] <llutz> Softdroid: what's the output of "id"?
[09:56] <Softdroid> llutz: What is that mean?
[09:57] <czardoz> type "id" in terminal and press return
[09:57] <llutz> Softdroid: lists your uid and groups you're member of
[09:57] <Softdroid> llutz: How can i do that?
[09:57] <llutz> see czardoz Softdroid
[09:58] <llutz> without the quotes
[09:58] <Softdroid> whithout any flags?
[09:58] <llutz> Softdroid: just    id
[09:59] <Softdroid> I dont understand
[09:59] <Softdroid> usermod id?
[09:59] <cosmo> I am trying to make it so the other computers on my home network can access the shared media folders on my machine easily can someone look at my smb.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/583460/ and see what I have set wrong?
[09:59] <czardoz> Softdroid, type "id" in terminal and press return
[09:59] <llutz> Softdroid: just  type   id          into a terminal and give us the output
[09:59] <s3r3n1t7> Softdroid, no, just type this in a terminal without the quotes:          " id"
[09:59] <czardoz> its a different command
[10:00] <Softdroid> I get this --> uid=1000(softdroid) gid=1000(softdroid) grupper=1000(softdroid),29(audio)
[10:01] <Stormshadow> the input level meter never changes
[10:01] <Softdroid> what is that mean? :)
[10:01] <czardoz> so you are not in the admin group
[10:01] <llutz> Softdroid: you kicked yourself off all groups, reboot in recovery-mode and add yourself to the default groups +admin again
[10:01] <Stormshadow> its as if the input is not set correctly
[10:01] <ruan> brb
[10:01] <Softdroid> hehe
[10:01] <Softdroid> How could i do that
[10:01] <Softdroid> thanks
[10:02] <Softdroid> i will test it now
[10:02] <_antant> Morning
[10:02] <czardoz> you do that
[10:02] <czardoz> :)
[10:02] <Softdroid> how can i add me to admin again?
[10:02] <s3r3n1t7> czardoz, llutz, usermod -G sets the groups, it does not append to groups.
[10:02] <llutz> s3r3n1t7: true
[10:02] <coz_> critical_max,   just saw your post... have you looked into wmctrl ?
[10:02] <s3r3n1t7> Softdroid, adduser username admin
[10:02] <Softdroid> s3r3n1t7: thanks
[10:02] <s3r3n1t7> Softdroid, and ofcourse change username for your actual username
[10:02] <Softdroid> s3r3n1t7: Ok
[10:02] <_antant> Every time I try and make a soft symbolic link it gives me a broken link. What could I be doing wrong?
[10:02] <Softdroid> I'll be back
[10:03] <s3r3n1t7> _antant, are you using relative links?
[10:03] <czardoz> s3r3n1t7, usermod -G adds a user to the group I think
[10:03] <czardoz> though I might be wrong
[10:03] <frold> Any one know a beginner setup LAMP guide? Did follow: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies but it eg. I have problem with user right and I have a upload script  where I cant "upload"  files.. works one a live site... So a Setting guide is needed :)
[10:03] <llutz> czardoz: usermod -a -G does
[10:03] <s3r3n1t7> czardoz, it sets a new list of groups, whereas -Ga actually appends
[10:04] <czardoz> ohh
[10:04] <czardoz> I see, thanks
[10:04] <s3r3n1t7> frold, checked the log files?
[10:04] <_antant> I'm using ln -s
[10:04] <llutz> czardoz: thats why i prefer adduser over usermod in most cases, less dangerous
[10:04] <czardoz> hmm
[10:04] <frold> s3r3n1t7: naahh - thats a little over newbie level :) Where to find those?
[10:04] <czardoz> I have never used it really
[10:04] <czardoz> :P
[10:05] <s3r3n1t7> frold, graphical interface for log files: system- administration - log viewer
[10:05] <s3r3n1t7> _antant, paste the command you're using please.
[10:06] <_antant> ln -s /mnt/STORAGE/Media /home/ant/Media
[10:06] <Softdroid> s3r3n1t7: It says only Sudo can add users to the admin list
[10:07] <llutz> Softdroid:  reboot in recovery-mode
[10:07] <s3r3n1t7> Softdroid, did you reboot into recovery mode?
[10:07] <Kingsy> anyone else had problems when browsing a windows network? in nautilus it just says "Unable to mount location" ?
[10:07] <Softdroid> I logged out and then logged in in Recovery Console?
[10:07] <frold> s3r3n1t7: cant find any php log
[10:07] <s3r3n1t7> frold, look for an apache log
[10:07] <johyn> fr
[10:07] <Softdroid> s3r3n1t7:  How can I reboot to recovery mode?
[10:08] <johyn> french?
[10:08] <s3r3n1t7> !recovery
[10:08] <s3r3n1t7> !fr
[10:08] <Softdroid> s3r3n1t7: thanks
[10:09] <ruan> i'm seeing my other windows computer under Network, and i havent set it up to be there, why is it there?
[10:09] <_antant> s3r3n1t7: what is wrong with  ln -s /mnt/STORAGE/Media /home/ant/Media    ?
[10:10] <Kingsy> anyone had that issue before?
[10:11] <frold> s3r3n1t7: no such log... But eg. only sudo have access to var/www
[10:12] <itda1032> whats the new name for java-6-sun ? i can't find that plugin anymore on my server...
[10:12] <sunit> I am trying to make a cron job with command  ./pan.sh file='/opt/data-integration/MainTransaction.ktr' with 45 minute interval where the path is /opt/Pentaho/data-integration in ubuntu 8.04 LTS server
[10:12] <s3r3n1t7> _antant, does the first location exist?
[10:12] <sunit> please suggest me what shall I do ?
[10:12] <ruan> itda1032: sun-java6-
[10:12] <s3r3n1t7> frold, that's odd, apache should have a log there ....
[10:12] <_antant> most certainly does
[10:12] <frold> s3r3n1t7: I might be blind...
[10:13] <ruan> itda1032: which plugin though?
[10:13] <_antant> HA!  No, it doesn't. I had it mounted differently than before apparently.
[10:13] <_antant> Cheers, s3r3n1t7
[10:14] <s3r3n1t7> frold, hmm oddly enough, neither does it show for me. Oh well, let's see if i understand. You have a script, that's under /var/www, which you would like the www user to be the owner so it can write there?
[10:16] <Eryn_1983_FL> hey peeps is there a bug in the  recent update of  samba??
[10:16] <s3r3n1t7> sunit, you'll have to write a few lines, then specify which hours it should run at 0, 15, 30 and 45 minutes
[10:16] <Eryn_1983_FL> i am getting  alot of  errors
[10:17] <frold> s3r3n1t7:  thats the first issue I guess.. Well, I dont know what the default owner is when you run a localhost? I just want to be able to test some scripts locally :)
[10:17] <s3r3n1t7> sunit, oh, you can use */45 * * * * command

[10:19] <s3r3n1t7> Eryn_1983_FL, you should really google that error, it has so much useful information. http://forums.fedoraforum.org/archive/index.php/t-81209.html for example.

[10:25] <Mika__> Hello
[10:25] <frold> s3r3n1t7: Was it www-data:www-data for var/www ?
[10:25] <ecinx3> what's tthe difference between ipp pdl-datastream and printer when seting up a printer?
[10:26] <Mika__> is it possible to make 1 primary partition and under it 1 extentened partition and under it 64 logical partitions? so its like 4 x 64  logical partitions?
[10:26] <sl33k_> the update manager says i dont have enough memory? what do?
[10:26] <stephaaan> Mika__, 64 partitions? Just out of curiousity, what for? :)
[10:27] <motaka2> ruan: wonderful thank you
[10:27] <Mika__> lol just for fun...nothing serious :P
[10:27] <Mika__> i wanna just know that
[10:27] <ruan> motaka2: you're welcome :)
[10:27] <ruan> Mika__: have you tried in gparted?
[10:28] <Mika__> no i dont have linux now front of me :/
[10:28] <ruan> though i think it may be possible
[10:29] <Softdroid> s3r3n1t7: I could not fix it
[10:29] <ruan> but very messy
[10:29] <Softdroid> s3r3n1t7: I went to recovery mode and picked the root option
[10:29] <kaushal> hi
[10:30] <s3r3n1t7> frold, the /var/www folder is the one that www-data should own,
[10:30] <kaushal> will FF 4 ported to 10.10 ?
[10:30] <Mika__> yeah
[10:30] <Mika__> i dont care...i like messy :P
[10:30] <ruan> lol
[10:30] <llutz> Mika__: you only can have one extended partition holding logical drives
[10:30] <Mika__> hmm
[10:30] <Softdroid> s3r3n1t7: But it ask for my password and doesnt accepted my old sudo pass
[10:30] <s3r3n1t7> Mika__, no, only 1 extended partition and under that you can have a nearly unlimited amount of logical.
[10:30] <Mika__> hmmm
[10:31] <Mika__> this is what im talking about
[10:31] <sl33k_> how do i update? manager shos low memopry?
[10:31] <cutiyar_> while cheking for new update in update manager it give me this window error http://pastebin.com/evnSLQ7k
[10:31] <llutz> s3r3n1t7: you can't since the device minor-/major-numbering limits the amount
[10:31] <ruan> sl33k_: update what exactly?
[10:32] <psilocybe> ruan: thats what i asked him before, but then he ignored my question :)
[10:32] <sl33k_> ruan: packages by update manager
[10:32] <s3r3n1t7> llutz, google tells me that it's only limited by the amount of drive space
[10:33] <ruan> sl33k_: low memory? how much do you have free?
[10:33] <sl33k_> psilocybe: fyi, i did not ignore intentionally
[10:33] <cutiyar_> while cheking for new update in update manager it give me this window error http://pastebin.com/evnSLQ7k
[10:33] <psilocybe> you ignored me unintentionally :D
[10:33] <sl33k_> :D
[10:34] <critical_max> ruan: haha, apparently AutoHotkey got packaged in ubuntu while I wasn't looking... geez... also, xvkbd did fail to send messages to this particular windows app under wine (it's worked in that situation before, just not this time)
[10:34] <sl33k_> ruan: it says i need 610 M free
[10:34] <llutz> s3r3n1t7: afaik highest device-minor number is 63, so the maximum would be /dev/sdX63  (63 -5 = 58 logical drives)
[10:35] <ruan> sl33k_: how much do you have free?
[10:35] <Ja23> Why would some files, on a seperate partition but same HD, not show up?
[10:36] <froes> hi you all, how can i define the different runlevels on maverick ?
[10:36] <llutz> aeh, -4 = 59 *
[10:36] <sl33k_> ruan: how do i find that
[10:36] <Ja23> I downloaded them via Transmission (bittorrent) and they've been there for awhile, but today when I rebooted into Windows I couldn't find them, then when I came back to Ubuntu they weren't there either
[10:36] <czardoz> froes, didnt get you there
[10:36] <Ja23> But the files are actually there, just not showing up
[10:36] <ruan> sl33k_: system > administration > system monitor > resources
[10:37] <Mika__> In terms of the data structures, the theoretical limit on MBR logical partitions is about 2^31 (about 2 billion), but they'd all be tiny 1-sector (normally 512-byte) partitions, and you'd need a disk with 2^32 (about 4 billion) sectors to support this many partitions. If there's a lower limit in the Linux kernel, I don't know what it is. I once put about 18 or 20 logical partitions on a disk just to test it and I had no problems wit
[10:37] <czardoz> if you want to change the runlevel, use telinit
[10:37] <ruan> waitt...
[10:37] <cutiyar_> while cheking for new update in update manager it give me this window error http://pastebin.com/evnSLQ7k
[10:37] <froes> czardoz, different runlevels runlevel 3 command prompt, runlevel 5 Xorg, etc
[10:38] <Softdroid> How can I restore my broken sudo, please help
[10:38] <bigmahat1a> hello. I'm using 10.04 and the sound stopped wotking. Could anybody help me please?
[10:38] <froes> czardoz, i would like to define what each one of them is
[10:38] <sl33k_> ruan: 823 MiB of 1.9 GiB
[10:38] <erUSUL> Softdroid: how is it broken?
[10:38] <llutz> Softdroid: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo
[10:38] <ruan> sl33k_: ok, can you try to update a lower amount of applications or free up some ram?
[10:38] <llutz> erUSUL: he kicked himself from all groups but "audio"
[10:39] <Softdroid> erUSUL: It says im not in the sudoers list anymore
[10:39] <erUSUL> llutz: usermod without -a ;P
[10:39] <czardoz> froes, by default, Ubuntu does not differentiate (as far as I know)
[10:39] <ruan> !sound | bigmahat1a
[10:39] <llutz> erUSUL: exact
[10:39] <s3r3n1t7> llutz, it's the OS that actually makes that limit. Also, IDE has the limit of 58 logical, sata does not
[10:39] <froes> for example, what if i want on runlevel 3, tty1 console, on runlevel 4 tty1 xorg
[10:39] <sl33k_> ruan: how do i free up that much RAM
[10:39] <ruan> sl33k_: check what is taking up the ram
[10:39] <Softdroid> llutz: thanks
[10:40] <llutz> s3r3n1t7: ok, i was speaking os-wise since the rest is more theoretical
[10:40] <czardoz> Sorry, I do not know how to configure that one
[10:40] <s3r3n1t7> llutz, then yes, you were correct
[10:40] <erUSUL> Softdroid: boot into recovery mode -> drop to root shell -> run « adduser yourusernamehere admin »
[10:40] <ruan> sl33k_: what happens if you do one update?
[10:40] <ruan> sl33k_: instead of all of them
[10:40] <czardoz> froes, but why would you want to change those numbers?
[10:40] <llutz> s3r3n1t7: drive you cannot address are pretty useless (for me)
[10:40] <Softdroid> erUSUL: I just did that, but it ask for sudo password when i d
[10:40] <Softdroid> o
[10:40] <livingdaylight> can I ask about kubuntu here?
[10:41] <czardoz> froes, a simple shell script will let you change runlevels
[10:41] <s3r3n1t7> llutz, but whether or not you could address then was not the issue here
[10:41] <ruan> livingdaylight: yes
[10:41] <s3r3n1t7> Softdroid, don't use sudo
[10:41] <llutz> s3r3n1t7: then i got the initial question wrong, sry
[10:41] <erUSUL> Softdroid: if you choosed drop to root shell you do not need to use sudo
[10:41] <Softdroid> Ok, i will try again
[10:42] <Softdroid> see you soon
[10:42] <livingdaylight> ruan, installing kubuntu on laptop, but facing issues at partition section of install because I want to keep windows partition, and therefore not use 'entire' disc
[10:42] <s3r3n1t7> llutz, no apology required, we're both correct.
[10:42] <ruan> livingdaylight: then create a new partition for ubuntu
[10:42] <sunit> s3r3n1t7: Please clarify
[10:42] <s3r3n1t7> sunit, clarify what exactly?
[10:43] <sunit> s3r3n1t7:what should be complete command ?
[10:43] <livingdaylight> ruan, obviously, but I can't seem to further partition the half of the drive (80gb) for kubuntu. I need root / and home partitions, and boot? and swap?
[10:43] <s3r3n1t7> sunit, sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www
[10:44] <ruan> eh. i use a single partition for /root /home /boot and i dont use swap
[10:44] <hello> 有中国人不
[10:44] <DJones> !cn | hello
[10:44] <root> hii
[10:44] <root> :D
[10:44] <hello> 好啊
[10:44] <root> xDD
[10:44] <sl33k_> ruan: one is working
[10:44] <hello> 终于看见国语了 那个亲啊
[10:44] <ljsoftnet> !cn | hello
[10:44] <root> !cn aaa
[10:44] <root> :D
[10:45] <froes> czardoz, not about changing those numbers
[10:45] <livingdaylight> ruan, you need sub partitions for /, home, etc
[10:45] <Guest72835> xD
[10:45] <ruan> sl33k_: then try half and half updates
[10:45] <shruggar> can automount (or similar) be made to run an arbitrary command in order to handle the "mount" and "unmount" operations?
[10:45] <motaka2> what does panning means in english ? I look for the right term for the tool with which you can make the ccursur like a hand and navigate in a graphical page to see all parts
[10:45] <Garfio> hoola
[10:45] <hello> 有中国人不
[10:45] <llutz> shruggar: for removable media? use udev-rules
[10:46] <livingdaylight> ruan, I'd be happy if I could let ubuntu manage the one half of my hd, but i need to creat all partitions
[10:46] <czardoz> froes, on ubuntu, ALL runlevels are the same.
[10:46] <ruan> hmm.
[10:46] <Dannyd> does ubuntu have install using LVM?
[10:46] <czardoz> :)
[10:46] <froes> czardoz, it is about each runlevel, run a different set of computer services, of applications
[10:46] <Guest72835> asd
[10:46] <sl33k_> ruan: chrome tabs take half of that i think
[10:46] <Guest72835> ds
[10:46] <Guest72835> das
[10:46] <Guest72835> sda
[10:46] <Guest72835> das
[10:46] <FloodBot1> Guest72835: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:46] <Guest72835> dsa
[10:47] <halvor> hei hei
[10:47] <froes> czardoz, any ideas on how to make the same thing ?
[10:47] <Dannyd> does ubuntu have an install using LVM?
[10:47] <czardoz> froes, what exactly do you want to do? Configure runlevels?
[10:47] <Dannyd> does ubuntu have an install using LVM option?
[10:47] <arand> Dannyd: Using the alternate install CD yes
[10:48] <critical_max> gah, it's actually *autokey*, not autohotkey, different app! In other words, I got keyword sniped with apt-cache search :)
[10:48] <froes> czardoz, exactlly
[10:48] <psilocybe> Dannyd: Repeating can be very annoying, repeating can be very annoying :P
[10:48] <shruggar> llutz, no, for "cd /magic/directory" -> [mount something behind the scenes]. Specifically I want to be able to just go to /var/snapshots/SomeNumber and have something mount a nilfs2 snapshot for me
[10:48] <halvor> have anyone ever experienced such things with network-manager, wicd or connman that the wifi is off in the applet, but ifconfig shows it's up okkei?
[10:48] <livingdaylight> can someone help me with kubuntu?
[10:48] <czardoz> froes, have a look: http://www.debianadmin.com/debian-and-ubuntu-linux-run-levels.html
[10:48] <halvor> and i can't even turn it on with any of the mentioned applets
[10:49] <czardoz> froes, it has detailed instructions on how to configure :)
[10:49] <erUSUL> shruggar: autofs?
[10:49] <ruan> strange. i have a single partition on my hard drive for everything
[10:49] <halvor> guys?
[10:49] <llutz> shruggar: sounds not like a thing udev can do, no idea sry
[10:49] <livingdaylight> any kubuntu experts in the house?
[10:49] <sl33k_> ruan: this does not have anything to do with disk size, does it?
[10:50] <ruan> sl33k_: i doubt it
[10:50] <phoenixsampras> I cant Find SWAT to admin Samba? !! help
[10:50] <shruggar> erUSUL, yeah, I was looking into autofs, but I don't see any way to run arbitrary commands for the mount/unmount steps, and nilfs2 requires that I mark checkpoints as "snapshots" prior to mounting them
[10:50] <Dannyd> arand: how do I get an alternate CD?
[10:50] <llutz> !info swat| phoenixsampras
[10:50] <llutz> !info swat
[10:50] <elFidel> phoenixsampras: define "cant find"
[10:50] <sl33k_> thanks ruan
[10:50] <llutz> phoenixsampras: sudo apt-get install swat
[10:51] <obscurant1st> anyone with experiance on installing  armel architecture ubuntu into any android device? if so, pls let me, i am stuck at one point!
[10:51] <NCS_One> hi
[10:51] <Dannyd> psilocybe: im almost going to repeat the question now
[10:52] <Dannyd> how do I get an alternate CD? ok i repeated it?
[10:52] <froes> czardoz, that article is not UPSTART friendly
[10:52] <arand> !alternate | Dannyd
[10:52] <Dannyd> http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download has just one CD
[10:52] <froes> czardoz, if it was, i wasnt haning this problem
[10:52] <llutz> Dannyd: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/alternative-download
[10:52] <Softdroid_> erUSUL: When i drop to root shell it says -> type root password for maintance or Ctrl+D to continue
[10:53] <Softdroid_> erUSUL: So i can't go to root shell
[10:53] <bullgard4> Does it make sense to copy the file banshee.db to another computer?
[10:53] <sl33k_> how do i find what version my pip is?
[10:53] <czardoz> froes, hmm, then i cant help, soory :)
[10:53] <NCS_One> I'm copying a libQt4pas.so.5.2.1 with 3 sym links but when I do "sudo ldconfig" I get "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/libQt4Pas.so.5 is not a symbolic link", what can be wrong?
[10:53] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: tried crtl + D ?
[10:53] <erUSUL> sl33k_: what is pip?
[10:53] <bullgard4> sl33k_: What is "pip"?
[10:53] <Softdroid_> erUSUL: Yes, I come back to the main menu
[10:54] <phoenixsampras> stupid Ubuntu software center, dont have the Swat stuff...
[10:54] <froes> the thing is that even on ubuntu linux you cannot do it ?? so that if my board anytime in life fails the computer will never start because it will give me kernel panic
[10:54] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: did you enabled the root account at some point?
[10:54] <sl33k_> bullgard4, erUSUL: python installer package i guess
[10:54] <Softdroid_> erUSUL: Yes, but I disabled it again
[10:54] <froes> sorry .. ubuntu server you cant
[10:54] <bullgard4> phoenixsampras: Pebkac
[10:54] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: how did you disabled it?
[10:55] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: because it looks like the system thinks is still enabled ...
[10:55] <Softdroid_> erUSUL: I found a command line that make it inactive
[10:55] <critical_max> coz_: just saw your post, checking into wmctrl now
[10:55] <coz_> critical_max, cool
[10:55] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: do you remember the command?
[10:55] <critical_max> coz_: my ideal solution integrates well with a bash wrapper. my task ultimately involves repackaging and a lot of messy glue
[10:55] <Softdroid_> erUSUL: I cant search for it
[10:55] <bullgard4> sl33k_: You can use Synaptic for that purpose.
[10:56] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: it would help
[10:56] <coz_> critical_max,  understood... not sure what the best solution would be for this.. wouldnt mind having a nice  very functional automator myself :)
[10:56] <Softdroid_> erUSUL: I think i wrote --> sudo passwd -l root
[10:57] <sl33k_> bullgard4: which folder are the packages installed?
[10:57] <critical_max> coz_: sadly, wmctrl doesn't work for wine apps (like most other linux automation tools...)
[10:58] <critical_max> coz_: the issue has been tracked down to wine not implementing stuff right for it yet, iirc
[10:58] <sunit> s3r3n1t7: shall I write  */45 * * * *  sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www//opt/Pentaho/data-integration/pan.sh file='/opt/data-integration/MainTransaction.ktr ?
[10:58] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: :/
[10:58] <critical_max> coz_: so i'm going to use my fresh autoit install in wine to do it :)
[10:58] <Softdroid_> erUSUL: What is that mean ? :)
[10:58] <coz_> critical_max,  oh cool
[10:58] <s3r3n1t7> sunit, you're mixing replies, which is not good. No.
[10:58] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: more problems...
[10:58] <critical_max> coz_: yah, autoit is like a cadillac compared to all those other apps anyway *ducks*
[10:59] <Softdroid_> erUSUL: So the only way is to format it?
[10:59] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: you will have to use a livecd and chroot.
[10:59] <sunit> s3r3n1t7: what shall I do ?
[10:59] <coz_> critical_max,  I will have to revisit my search and check out this autoit  :)
[10:59] <Softdroid_> erUSUL: I have a live CD, what is chroot
[10:59] <s3r3n1t7> sunit, ask your question again, to the channel.
[10:59] <bullgard4> sl33k_: Usually the pckages are only installed temporarily on your local computer unless you say differently otherwise. As a rule Ubuntu will delete them after having installed the package files on your computer and configured them.
[11:00] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: boot into the livecd and enter here
[11:00] <critical_max> coz_: both autohotkey and autoit work pretty well in wine, autohotkey being a fork of autoit. which one you use probably will depend on pre-existing scripts you can reuse written for one or the other. barrier of entry for both is tiny
[11:00] <sl33k_> bullgard4: the executables?
[11:01] <Softdroid_> ok
[11:01] <coz_> critical_max,  mm thanks,,, i am checking it out now
[11:01] <bullgard4> sl33k_: executables are files and no packages.
[11:01] <critical_max> coz_: i'm just not sure how well i can grab environment variables set by my wrapper script..that will be the fun part
[11:01] <sl33k_> bullgard4: my bad, i mean the packages
[11:01] <sunit_>  s3r3n1t7: what shall I do ?
[11:01] <coz_> critical_max,  good luck on that... would be nice to use something like this to create a compiz ... automated desktop... for a demo
[11:01] <bullgard4> sl33k_: So please put a complete sentence question here.
[11:02] <critical_max> coz_: if you're trying to impress your boss, i'd go right to Sikuli, it seems to be the new hotness
[11:02] <sl33k_> bullgard4: my bad
[11:02] <coz_> critical_max,  :)  will check that out as well
[11:02] <psilocybe> sl33k_: come on man, youve been here for over 2 hours and yet you still failed to qsk one simple question xD
[11:03] <psilocybe> *ask
[11:03] <bullgard4> sl33k_: So how can I help you understanding?
[11:03] <psilocybe> sl33k_: i have been trying to help you, like other people in here
[11:03] <ruan> any mouse macroing applications for linux?
[11:03] <ruan> i've searched the repos but havent found anything
[11:03] <psilocybe> sl33k_: please buy a linux book or something
[11:03] <phoenixsampras> help, i cant find the package 'LDAP ACCOUNT MANAGER' where is it??
[11:03] <sl33k_> psilocybe: why am i on your case today :D
[11:04] <sl33k_> its not monday god darit
[11:04] <cutiyar_> while cheking for new update in update manager it give me this window error http://pastebin.com/evnSLQ7k
[11:04] <llutz> !info ldap-account-manager
[11:04] <psilocybe> sl33k_: Because i tried to help you and i keep seeing you asking the same vague questions over and over, and when someone asks details you stop talking
[11:04] <llutz> phoenixsampras: learn to use "apt-get search"
[11:04] <psilocybe> sl33k_: it almost looks like youre trolling around
[11:04] <llutz> phoenixsampras: sudo apt-get install ldap-account-manager
[11:05] <phoenixsampras> llutz: wow, works, thanks bro, ubuntu rocks
[11:05] <sl33k_> psilocybe: no trolling here i assure you,
[11:05] <psilocybe> sl33k_: so, please think of a real good question you can ask, so that people can actually give you a satisfying answer ;)
[11:06] <zvacet> cutiyar_:  try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade if you still get errors paste it here
[11:07] <Softdroid_> erUSUL: I\m back stating with a live cd
[11:07] <cutiyar_> zvacet, i tried with it before ,i get this error in ap-get update http://pastebin.com/ytApkwqL
[11:08] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: you know what your ubuntu root partition is?
[11:08] <Softdroid_> erUSUL: Yes, I know
[11:09] <zvacet> cutiyar_:  beryl is not supported any more you have compiz instead remove that line from your source list
[11:09] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdxx /mnt/
[11:09] <Softdroid_> erUSUL: /dev/sdb1
[11:09] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdb1 /mnt/
[11:09] <cutiyar_> zvacet, WHAT WAS THE DIRECTORY OF SOURCLIST FILE?
[11:10] <s3r3n1t7> cutiyar_, no caps please
[11:10] <cutiyar_> s3r3n1t7, please shut the fuck upppp , i forget it
[11:10] <zvacet> cutiyar_:  gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove that line
[11:10] <bazhang> cutiyar_, stop the cursing now
[11:10] <czardoz> cutiyar_, :-/
[11:11] <Softdroid_> erUSUL: Ok, its done
[11:11] <elky> cutiyar_, none of that attitude please :(
[11:11] <s3r3n1t7> cutiyar_, no reason to start swearing. I'm asking you a normal question, that's no way to respond.
[11:11] <zvacet> !language | cutiyar_
[11:11] <cutiyar_> s3r3n1t7, i forget it m if i repeat it u can say this

[11:11] <froes> my friend has a laptop with that has intel graphics. everytime he puts a flash movie on fullscreen, the sound keeps going but everything else freezes. i try killing everything, but it looks like nothing happens... anyone have any ideas ?
[11:12] <Softdroid_> erUSUL:  OK, done
[11:12] <erUSUL> Softdroid_:  sudo chroot /mnt/
[11:12] <Softdroid_> erUSUL: Ok, done
[11:13] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: adduser yourusernamehere admin
[11:13] <Softdroid_> erUSUL:  Done
[11:14] <Softdroid_> erUSUL: Can i reboot now_
[11:14] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: unlock root account « sudo passwd -u root » change password to blank/empty one « sudo passwd root » then lock it again « sudo passwd -l root »
[11:14] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: then you can reboot without the livecd
[11:16] <Softdroid_> erUSUL:  How can i chnage it to blank_
[11:16] <KolakCC> Can I host a webserver and a vnc server on the same port?
[11:16] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: press enter when asked
[11:16] <jacklee> how do u get flash working on ubuntu 64bit
[11:16] <erUSUL> KolakCC: no
[11:16] <jacklee> i have tried everything
[11:16] <Softdroid_> erUSUL:  when i just hit the reutn it says No password supplied
[11:16] <erUSUL> jacklee: just install it like you do in 32 bits.
[11:16] <erUSUL> Softdroid_: :/ well then do not do that step. just reboot
[11:17] <bullgard4> Does it make sense to copy the file banshee.db to another computer?
[11:19] <iwii> Hi. Has anyone managed to set a custom message in empathy with the "busy" icon?
[11:21] <jacklee> erUSUL, i tried going to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
[11:21] <jacklee> but no luck
[11:21] <jacklee> also tried through aptitude

[11:21] <Softdroid> God bless you
[11:22] <Softdroid> :)
[11:22] <erUSUL> Softdroid: no problem. you have to add yur users to a few more groups now
[11:22] <sacarlson> jacklee: what about the restricted extra package ?
[11:22] <Softdroid> erUSUL: hmm. How can I do that?
[11:23] <jacklee> i have deb http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ karmic main restricted
[11:23] <erUSUL> Softdroid: audio plugdev scanner video come to mind... you also have to be in a group named like your username
[11:23] <jacklee> in my sources list
[11:23] <erUSUL> Softdroid: sudo adduser youruserhere groupname
[11:23] <erUSUL> Softdroid: repeat
[11:23] <erUSUL> Softdroid: then log out and log in again
[11:23] <Softdroid> erUSUL: How can I find the groupnames?
[11:24] <v_v> Softdroid: cat /etc/group ?
[11:24] <phoenixsampras> what is the service name for SAMBA?
[11:24] <sacarlson> jacklee: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras as seen https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[11:24] <sl33k_> How to remove a particular package?
[11:24] <phoenixsampras> sl33k_: synaptic
[11:25] <Softdroid> erUSUL: Thanks alot
[11:25] <phoenixsampras> HELP!!
[11:26] <zvacet> jacklee:  see http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/install-flash-10-ubuntu-linux-64bit.html
[11:26] <sniperjo> for some reason when i use the mplayer from a bash script after it plays the file it exits both mplayer and the bash script, without finishing the bash script. Any ideas what is causing this  ?
[11:26] <zvacet> sl33k_: from synaptic
[11:26] <sl33k_> thank you both
[11:27] <czardoz> sniperjo, add an "&" at the end of the last command
[11:29] <jacklee> zvacet, works perfect !
[11:30] <sniperjo_> Ive got a bash script uses mplayer to play a video file. After mplayer is done playing the file, it quits and seems to quit the bash script before it can finnish. Any ideas why this is happening / how to stop it ?
[11:31] <zvacet> jacklee: good  :)
[11:32] <jatt> indeed
[11:32] <soerenbnoergaard> sniperjo_: What does your script look like?
[11:34] <jacklee> one more question..
[11:34] <jacklee> how can i update my applications without breaking my nvidia-driver
[11:34] <jrib> jacklee: use update-manager
[11:34] <sniperjo_> soerenbnoergaard: mplayer -zoom -fs thefile.mp4 , once the video is finiished playing mplayer outputs "Exiting... End of file"  and dies, and seems to kill my bash script with it
[11:34] <jacklee> i have sony vpcz1 and it was a pain to get the nvida driver working..
[11:35] <AndrewMac> hey guys, how would i force a reinstall of the base python on ubuntu, i think its 2.4 but i could be mistaken
[11:35] <soerenbnoergaard> sniperjo_: Is there anything after that line in the bash script?
[11:35] <jrib> jacklee: why?  Just use Additional Drivers to get the nvidia drivers.  That way update-manager handles the updates for nvidia too.
[11:35] <jrib> AndrewMac: why?  Reinstalling rarely fixes anything?
[11:35] <Fuchs> jacklee: updating applications should never break the driver.
[11:35] <sniperjo_> soerenbnoergaard:  yea.. echo "why isnt this working"
[11:35] <sniperjo_> lol
[11:35] <Fuchs> jacklee: updating the kernel might, if you installed the driver manually. But then you can still choose the old kernel at boot time
[11:35] <freebse> updating the kernel or drivers does
[11:36] <freebse> apt-get update can not harm the system apt-get upgrade hm, because then it could be that X is updated
[11:36] <jacklee> it wants me to update to 10.04.1
[11:37] <jacklee> if i update the kernel it may break my driver
[11:37] <jrib> jacklee: how did you install the driver?
[11:37] <jacklee> because won't the libs be incorrect.
[11:37] <freebse> this called update in Ubunut, but actually it is an upgrade incl dist-upgrade... I don't like it, that they call it update
[11:37] <jrib> freebse: huh?
[11:38] <Pici> freebse: A dist-upgrade isn't supposed to upgrade you to a new release of Ubuntu.  Its a misnomer.
[11:38] <soerenbnoergaard> sniperjo_: Hmm.. I made a script writing mplayer mp3.mp3; echo "Hi" and it worked fine..
[11:38] <freebse> krib: the update-manager does call a distribution upgrade not upgrade but update in Ubunut, this is confusing
[11:38] <soerenbnoergaard> sniperjo_: Echoes "Hi" after playing the file.
[11:38] <jrib> freebse: read « man apt-get » on what exactly the "dist-upgrade" command does
[11:38] <freebse> Pici: forget dist-upgrade
[11:39] <freebse> Pici: but from version 10.04 to 10.10 is an upgrade not an update
[11:39] <jrib> freebse: oh
[11:39] <jacklee> jrib i downloaded a certain nvidia driver from the internet to get the screen to work
[11:39] <soerenbnoergaard> sniperjo_: Do you have #!/bin/bash in the start of the file?
[11:40] <jrib> jacklee: yes, get rid of that one and use System → Administration → Additional Drivers instead
[11:40] <erUSUL> sniperjo_: just paste the whole script in a pastebin...
[11:40] <sniperjo_> soerenbnoergaard, hang on ill posit it on pastebin
[11:40] <jacklee> when i installed ubuntu without following the tut i would just get a black screen.
[11:40] <jacklee> no display
[11:40] <zvacet> freebse: but sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will not upgrade to new release
[11:41] <jacklee> i tried the additional drivers which didn't work
[11:41] <offsense> anyone have used the new firefox 4?
[11:41] <sl33k_> zvacet: it only shows the option like 'mark for installation'
[11:41] <jrib> I think freebse is just complaining about the wording that update-manager uses when offering a distribution upgrade to users
[11:41] <edbian> offsense, yes and it is great
[11:41] <freebse> zvacet: I know, the only problem is the Ubuntu calls Upgrades Updates in it's graphical GUI thing
[11:41] <v_v> offsense: me me me
[11:41] <v_v> ;P
[11:41] <jrib> jacklee: how did you try it if your screen was black?
[11:41] <freebse> right because it should be called upgrade-manager
[11:41] <Pici> freebse: You want to file a bug if you think it is misleading.
[11:41] <offsense> edbian, v_v : lol is it much faster than current chrome ?
[11:41] <freebse> Pici: it is no bug, init?
[11:42] <edbian> freebse, It's annoying.  There are two many things that a common layperson would call 'upgrading' and they simply ran out of words
[11:42] <v_v> offsense: no
[11:42] <edbian> offsense, I think it's as fast as chrome.
[11:42] <zvacet> sl33k_:  you also can see installed packages with green box on the left
[11:42] <jacklee> jrib because had onen stange i got it to work but i couldn't go above 600by800 then i tried the addional drivers from the update manager rebooted and black screen
[11:42] <sniperjo_> soerenbnoergaard:  http://pastebin.com/rQ8wuXLB
[11:43] <critical_max> coz_: got AutoIT to read my bash variables :) :)
[11:43] <s1l21x1> hello all
[11:43] <critical_max> mwuahaha
[11:43] <sniperjo_> erUSUL soerenbnoergaard : i thinks almost like its trigging the while to finnish
[11:43] <soerenbnoergaard> sniperjo_: So it doesn't stay in the while-loop?
[11:44] <s1l21x1> тут русские есть?
[11:44] <feisar> Hi, guys, real desperate problem. how to I recover files from a directory which has had a symbolic link to itself copied in to it?
[11:44] <sniperjo_> soerenbnoergaard: no, hops out of it for some reason
[11:44] <zvacet> freebse:  my English is not so good to go with semantic but when you can upgrade to new release update manager tell you that
[11:44] <Pici> !ru | s1l21x1
[11:44] <sl33k_> zvacet: i cant find any green box
[11:44] <critical_max> feisar: move it out with the file manager, not the shell?
[11:44] <edbian> feisar, Open the file using nautilus and copy them out.
[11:45] <edbian> wow, a situation where the gui can do something the shell can't
[11:45] <zvacet> sl33k_:  you don't have any packages installed it is not possible what package you are looking for
[11:45] <jacklee> http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=ar0&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&q=nvidia+sony+300m+vpc+linux+blackscreen&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=
[11:45] <cba123> I'm trying to grow a mdadm raid5 array.  Found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=517282 and it's working until the last "resize2fs /dev/md0" step, I either get "kernel doesn't support online resizing" or "device busy while trying to open" and "couldn't find valid superblock" (those last two while unmounted).
[11:45] <jrib> jacklee: I think you should use Additional Drivers and troubleshoot your issues with it.  Otherwise, yes your nvidia drivers will likely break everytime you upgrade you get a new kernel
[11:45] <sl33k_> zvacet: i have downloaded some newer pre release packages. If i download the old stable packages, will it overwrite those previously installed?
[11:45] <critical_max> feisar: the ubuntu file manager works in many cases where bash chokes and dies, like files named "_" always happen to me. bash won't touch those.
[11:45] <jacklee> see all the trouble people have with these cards
[11:45] <sl33k_> s/downloaded/installed
[11:46] <feisar> edbian: I cant open the directory it no longer has a directory icon
[11:46] <zvacet> sl33k_:  how did you install newer package
[11:46] <nikita_> #ubuntu-ru
[11:46] <nikita_> как зайти на другой канал?
[11:46] <edbian> feisar, What kind of icon does it have?  What does file <folderName> think it is?
[11:47] <sl33k_> zvacet: i think from github
[11:47] <soerenbnoergaard> sniperjo_: I'm not that into bash loops, but maybe you could get it to continue even though it gets EOF.
[11:47] <zvacet> sl33k_:  debpackge?
[11:47] <jrib> jacklee: the first few hits from the google search you just posted suggest you can just place a few lines in your xorg.conf
[11:47] <sl33k_> zvacet: tar
[11:47] <jacklee> jrib i tried all that
[11:47] <zvacet> sl33k_:  so you compiled it ?
[11:48] <nikita_> how can i enter other channel exp: #ubuntu-ru???
[11:48] <sl33k_> ya
[11:48] <jacklee> tried all the xorg hacks
[11:48] <Pici> nikita_: /join #ubuntu-ru
[11:48] <v_v> nikita_: /j #ubuntu-ru
[11:48] <nikita_> pls help i am noob in IRC
[11:48] <nikita_> tnx
[11:48] <critical_max> feisar: i'm confused about how you even got to where you are at: normally "ln -s somefile somefile" fails to overwrite the original\
[11:49] <sl33k_> zvacet,
[11:49] <jrib> jacklee: well then your options are either to use a ppa with a version of the nvidia driver that works or set up dkms with your manually installed driver or install the driver yourself everytime the kernel upgrades
[11:49] <soerenbnoergaard> sniperjo_: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3628677/how-to-make-tclsh-to-ignore-eof Perhaps this could help?
[11:49] <zvacet> sl33k_:  I think if you try to install older version that you will get message that newer version is already installed if you insist to install older one newer will be probably removed
[11:49] <sl33k_> zvacet: cool
[11:50] <jacklee> jrib how do you tell which video card driver is currently installed, as i did this about 6months ago
[11:50] <feisar> edbian: ok here's what happens. Create a folder and put a file in. Right click and make a link to that. Drag the link to the desktop, call it the same name as the directory it's pointing to then drop it in the folder containing the original dir and say yes to merge
[11:50] <jrib> jacklee: don't know how to determine which version of the manually installed nvidia driver is currently installed.  Maybe run nvidia-settings
[11:50] <critical_max> feisar: ok that makes more sense. and i have never done that, so i can't help. sorry.
[11:51] <freebse> jacklee: in this case I would not upgrade the kernel, I would compile my own kernel and leave it like that, there is no need in updating kernels really, when system is running on an old one
[11:51] <jrib> freebse: except for security reasons?
[11:51] <sniperjo_> soerenbnoergaard:  so you think bash is getting confused which EOF its found ?
[11:51] <edbian> feisar, You're vague and confusing me.  Can you show me in terminal commands?  It's probably the most explicit and shortest way.
[11:51] <soerenbnoergaard> sniperjo_: Well, it seems mplayer is calling End of file on exit. Try it
[11:52] <freebse> jrib: patch 2.4.26.xx to 2.4.26.YYY, no need to install a new one
[11:52] <freebse> jrib: ok forget about it, because then you have to implement patches by hand etc
[11:53] <Petein> Hi. Is it possible to have 1 pc tower, and create 2 dump terminals which will be able to use the pc resources? (have their own keyboard, mouse, monitor)
[11:53] <jacklee> ok cool well im using nvidia driver 260.19.29.. with the kernel 2.6.31-14-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 16 14:05:01 UTC 2009 x86_64
[11:53] <jacklee> which is pretty old..
[11:54] <jrib> jacklee: what ubuntu version?
[11:54] <erUSUL> jrib: dmesg | grep -i "nvidia unix" --> NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  *260.19.44*  Sun Feb 27 22:41:03 PST 2011
[11:54] <jrib> erUSUL: thanks
[11:54] <jacklee> squeeze/sid
[11:54] <jrib> jacklee: that's not an ubuntu version...
[11:54] <bullgard4> Does it make sense to copy the Banshee file banshee.db to another computer?
[11:55] <freebse> Patein: it is possible
[11:55] <sniperjo_> soerenbnoergaard:  export ignoreeof=1 doesnt change anything
[11:55] <edbian> bullgard4, It is mostly path names to the music files.  If you have the music files on the other computer in the same directories it would work.  The db doesn't actually save the music in it.
[11:55] <Pici> jacklee: lsb_release -a or cat /etc/issue
[11:55] <ranjan> Hi all, i have a genuine doubt.
[11:55] <soerenbnoergaard> sniperjo_: Worth a shot...
[11:55] <edbian> bullgard4, I've actually had to edit it before
[11:55] <jacklee> 9.10
[11:55] <edbian> ranjan, How genuine?
[11:55] <sunit> I am trying to create a cron job with */40 * * * *       /opt/Pentaho/data-integration/pan.sh -file='/opt/data-integration/MainTransaction.ktr' > /tmp/pan.log 2>&1 where the job will run every 40 minute
[11:56] <feisar> edbian: I can get this far with the terminal http://pastebin.com/McXS7NhP
[11:56] <sniperjo_> soerenbnoergaard : someone from the mplayer board said :  while read line; do echo "$line"; mplayer -really-quiet "$line"; done <playlist1 # that plays the first file, but skips around in it and stuff, like it's getting commands from the playlist...
[11:56] <Strabe> Hello.
[11:56] <sunit> I am correct ?
[11:56] <jacklee> thanks pici
[11:56] <jrib> jacklee: if you upgrade to 10.10 you'll likely have things "just work"
[11:56] <feisar> edbian: (Thanks for the help)
[11:56] <ranjan> edbian, we gnu/linux users are against proprietary software, and is all the artwork for free software like ubuntu done with free designing tools??!!
[11:56] <edbian> feisar, Doing my best to be helpful!  Don't thank me yet
[11:56] <bullgard4> edbian: I have the music on an USB hard drive.
[11:56] <jacklee> jrib 10.10 is what i tried to install in the first place :(
[11:56] <Strabe> Somebody may help me please? I want to edit "Places" menu, but I could not find any way
[11:56] <jrib> jacklee: and?
[11:57] <bullgard4> edbian: How did you edid banshee.db?
[11:57] <bullgard4> edbian: How did you edit banshee.db?
[11:57] <feisar> edbian: but then using the gui I copy the link from the desktop to the home folder and click merge. Can I get back the file that was inside 'test'?
[11:57] <edbian> ranjan, Oh man.  If you care that much about free software you should be using Debian.  I'm not sure about ubuntu but I'm pretty sure in Debian the answer is yes.
[11:57] <zvacet> jacklee: this is just possibility but ifyou upgrade to lucid maybe you can solve graphic problem
[11:57] <freebse> edbian: the answer is YES :)
[11:57] <Pici> ranjan: The answer is: mostly yes.
[11:57] <Strabe> Somebody help PLEASEEEEEEE?
[11:57] <hemza> I want to install Ubuntu Lucid, pcBSD 8.1 and fedora 14 on the some machine ... is it possible to use one and  the same swap for them all.
[11:58] <soerenbnoergaard> sniperjo_: I have to go now, but maybe someone on #mplayer can help you. Good luck :)
[11:58] <sniperjo_> soerenbnoergaard: thanks for the help
[11:58] <zvacet> jacklee:  karmic is supported until april ofthis teat so you will have to upgrade any way
[11:58] <scarleo> hemza: yes
[11:58] <Pici> Strabe: Open a nautilus window (your file manager) and go to bookmarks.
[11:58] <edbian> bullgard4, It's just a sqllight database.  I used some package.  I don't remember which.
[11:58] <ranjan> Pici, Mostly means !??? that means afterall proprieatry software is needed for the survival of opensource and free software isnt it?
[11:58] <bullgard4> edbian: ok. Thank you.
[11:58] <Strabe> I want to edit PLACES MENU, Someone knows, PLEASE?!!
[11:59] <ranjan> edbian, are you sure about that?
[11:59] <Pici> Strabe: I just told you.
[11:59] <hemza> scarleo, but i think i cxan not use the hibernate mode
[11:59] <jacklee> then i tried that someone installed this nvidia driver and got it working on 9.10
[11:59] <Strabe> I didn't see it Pici O.o
[11:59] <jacklee> thats why i instaleld that
[11:59] <Pici> ranjan: There are not always open source replacements for commercial software.
[11:59] <Strabe> lol
[11:59] <jacklee> trust me i would prefer to have just installed 10.10
[11:59] <Strabe> what means that
[11:59] <jrib> jacklee: ok, but why don't you just install 10.10?   And hibernation doesn't work in Ubuntu Lucid then, right?
[12:00] <jacklee> only the default driver worked which the res was ugly then i installed the addional drivers and black screen after reboot
[12:01] <hemza> Strabe, when i creat a folder in my home it added automatically to Places Menu
[12:01] <Strabe> lol
[12:01] <feisar> edbian: mv: cannot stat `/home/simon/test/doc.txt': Too many levels of symbolic links
[12:01] <jrib> jacklee: the nvidia driver in the repositories is a higher version than the one you are using now
[12:01] <edbian> feisar, Can you open it with nautilus?
[12:01] <Strabe> On bookmarks it doesn't let me delete and doesn't show places like HDD's
[12:01] <ranjan> Pici, does that mean that we should depend on proprietary software and at the same time curse them.
[12:01] <ranjan> ?
[12:01] <jrib> jacklee: which package did you install exactly, do you remember?
[12:02] <feisar> edbian: no: The Link "test" is Broken. Move it to the Rubbish Bin? This link cannot be used, because its target "/home/simon/test/" doesn't exist.
[12:02] <jacklee> jrib tempting
[12:02] <Pici> ranjan: I think this discussion is getting off-topic for this support channel. I'd be happy to clarify myself in #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:02] <jacklee> if i do the command said before.. i get back [    7.091636] NVRM: loading NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  260.19.29  Wed Dec  8 12:08:56 PST 2010
[12:02] <ranjan> ok
[12:02] <edbian> feisar, I think what you did when you merged was delete the folder and its contents.  Then you have a link pointing to nothing. (itself)
[12:02] <hemza> scarleo, No, not yet ... this my project, i like Linux flavors and Unix for that i want to tray them all
[12:03] <Strabe> Pici: That bookmarks option just let me add or delete 4 places of 12 showing on menu
[12:03] <Pici> Strabe: Which places is it not letting you modify?
[12:03] <feisar> edbian: oh dear, that's really bad (it's actually my brother who has probably now lost his uni work). Thanks for your time anyway. Would 'Foremost' help?
[12:04] <scarleo> hemza: How do you know you can't hibernate if you haven't installed Ubuntu yet? Or was it a general question? Hibernation will normally work, yes
[12:04] <Strabe> Pici: When I click places menu, it shows HDDs, and some folders. Actually when I click on bookmarks, hdd's are not showingfor example.
[12:04] <edbian> feisar, No idea what Foremost is.  Why did you do what you did with the symlink?  What were you trying to do?  You should look into data backup recovery.  It's hard.  I've never done it before.
[12:04] <scarleo> hemza: You should have a swap that is larger than your RAM size for hibernation
[12:04] <jacklee> i dont think i can go from 9.10 to 10.10 anyways..
[12:04] <jrib> jacklee: because?
[12:05] <jacklee> only to 10.04LTS
[12:05] <scheuri> I am not sure I am right here, but....I have a laptop that has wireless and an usb stick to get to (gsm) networks. How can I make my laptop to be an access point for others to share internet (aka android 2.2 as access point sharing its connection)? Any one a how to somewhere? Thanks a lot!
[12:05] <scheuri> hi all
[12:05] <feisar> edbian: he did it by mistake, dragged a link from the left bar in nautilus to the desktop and then dragged back to the main window by mistake instead of the links bar on the left
[12:05] <jrib> jacklee: well yes, you have to go to 10.04 before going to 10.10.  Let me check whet nvidia driver is available in 10.04
[12:05] <edbian> jacklee, Go to system -> admin -> software sources -> change the drop down from LTS releases to 'normal releases' and you will be able to.
[12:05] <guampa> how can i make make-kpkg to not add its own xxxxx-xxxxxxxx suffix to my kernel/debs after my own suffix i added with --append-to-version ?
[12:05] <Pici> Strabe: one moment
[12:07] <jrib> jacklee: on 10.04 the latest driver in the repository is older than your current one :)
[12:07] <hemza> scarleo, i know that. if you hibernate your Ubuntu session for example and the next time you choose to use pcBSD ur hibernation data in swap will destroyed... this is my idea
[12:07] <Pici> Strabe: Can you pastebin the contents of /etc/fstab   and then of    mount
[12:08] <Strabe> by doing cat?
[12:08] <jacklee> edbian, i dont have software sources
[12:08] <jacklee> jrib really maybe it could work
[12:08] <jrib> sunit: yes, that should run every 40 minutes
[12:08] <Strabe> Pici: PM'd u
[12:08] <edbian> jacklee, Software sources is a GUI that controls what repositories you're using.
[12:09] <scarleo> hemza: Ah, ok. But if you resume from hibernation you will always get back to your last session, you cant start another o when resuming from OS, you need to reboot to do that
 what do you want to do?
[12:09] <jrib> jacklee: honestly, I think 10.10 would work.  And if it doesn't well you can still just install the manual drivers and be in your current situation but on 10.10
[12:09] <terry> Strabe: cp /etc/fstab info ; mount >> info ; pastebinit info ; rm info
[12:09] <Strabe> hemza: just to edit places menu like I want
[12:09] <sunit> jrib: thanks
[12:10] <Pici> Strabe: Please use a pastebin like http://paste.ubuntu.com so that its easier to read and that others can see it.
[12:10] <Strabe> Pici: lol ok, will do.
[12:10] <hemza> Strabe, you want to add new folders or new partitions ???? it is different
[12:10] <jacklee> can i make it so i can upload from 9.10 to 10.10 from the terminal
[12:10] <Neosano> Hello. sooo.. I have ubuntu installed on my usb. I heard there are ways to decrease write to usb (some boot options or smth). How?
[12:10] <jacklee> update**
[12:10] <hemza> scarleo, you are right
[12:11] <Strabe> hemza: I just want to edit the "Places" menu. adding or deleting stuff. Like a harddisk that I dont want shown, and changing icon from a folder I've already added.
[12:11] <terry> jacklee: You mean you want to do a distribution upgrade?
[12:11] <zvacet> jacklee: you can not skip versions first you will have to upgrade to 10.04 and then 10.10
[12:11] <mroova81> kurwa
[12:11] <Pici> Strabe: I'm looking at this thread myself, it seems to describe the issue you're having: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1361478
[12:12] <jacklee> hmm i might run into 10.04 driver issues then
[12:12] <Strabe> Pici: Will look, thanks. http://pastebin.com/dfsYz0tm
[12:12] <jacklee> damn nvidia! :)
[12:12] <terry> jacklee: I doubt it.
[12:12] <dnivra> jacklee: or you could just backup all installed pacages, install 10.10 and restore all the packages?
[12:12] <terry> jacklee: Is your current system fully updated?
[12:12] <remoteCTRL1> can u pls recommend me a gui client for ssh transfers? (i.e. scp?)
[12:13] <pipepa> hello, good morning. I am having compatibility problems using openofice.org presentation. When I try to open it in windows power point the presentations made wont open
[12:13] <Pici> remoteCTRL1: filezilla?
[12:13] <terry> dnivra: I think you mean back up data
[12:13] <hemza> scarleo, thnx ... now i will install them all
[12:13] <scarleo> hemza: good luck
[12:13] <dnivra> remoteCTRL1: go to system -> places -> connect to server. you can use access via GUI-nautilus.
[12:13] <jacklee> i ran apt-get update just before
[12:13] <Neosano> pipepa just change the format when saving documents
[12:13] <pipepa> or they woudl open but no properly, some pages in blank... does anyone knows how to deal with compatibility maters between openofice presentation and windows powerpoint
[12:13] <Neosano> pipepa as far as I know openoffice uses its own format.
[12:13] <terry> remoteCTRL1: Use scp in a GUI terminal window.  (See man ssh)
[12:14] <dnivra> terry: and that too. one can backup all installed packages in ubuntu and restore it too :). just three or four commands will do :).
[12:14] <pipepa> or any other program to make presentations with beter compatibility?
[12:14] <jrib> terry: heh...
[12:14] <remoteCTRL1> Pici: filezilla can do that? interesting thanks!
[12:14] <freebse> pipepa: you can't,m say thx to Microsoft
[12:14] <terry> dnivra: How do you backup packages?
[12:14] <airtonix> scheuri: it depends on your wifi device , **very few** devices intended to be client NICs will go into master mode (the mode required to act as a proper access point), you can attempt to provide an adhoc connection but then you're limited to wep encryption
[12:14] <remoteCTRL1> terry: which was what i was trying to avoid as i have so many files in so many different folders to copy...
[12:14] <remoteCTRL1> dnivra: also very interesting, thanks!
[12:15] <freebse> pipepa: no, sorry, PPT is not a free format
[12:15] <jrib> remoteCTRL1: that's exactly when most would prefer command-line :)
[12:15] <pipepa> any suggestions of other programs in ubuntu to make presentations?
[12:15] <zvacet> !clone | terry
[12:15] <airtonix> pipepa: PDFs can be used to do presentations
