[00:00] <soreau> ruth: Just get any recently submitted (within the past year or so) from gnome-look.org or select the 'get more themes' button in the appearance manager
[00:00] <ruth> jrib_: oh ok! thatks a lot ya!
[00:00] <marc_> what do you guys think of sevenos
[00:00] <jrib> marc_: #ubuntu-offtopic for that please
[00:01] <marc_> jrib: thanks
[00:01] <Vustom> How do I open pidgin-gfire-0.9.2.tar.bz2 so i can install this plugin to Pidgin?
[00:01] <Mac43DO> HI! Since upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 USB transfers are horribly slow.
[00:03] <twitch> Mac43DO: check "dmesg |grep usb" and make sure it is loading as a ehci usb device (high speed)
[00:04] <Williams> Hi!! I have a little problem, hoping you could help. For some reason I can't start sound preferences. Any ideas what is wrong ./
[00:05] <evulhotdog> What are some 'ubuntu to mac theme conversion' packs
[00:05] <Williams> Hi!! I have a little problem, hoping you could help. For some reason I can't start sound preferences. Any ideas what is wrong ?
[00:05] <g_0_0> Williams, do you have working sound?
[00:05] <deca97> i have tried the lspci -v and my wireless network card wasn't listed.  does that mean it's only not installed or that it's not being detected?
[00:05] <Williams> g_0_0, yes I do. I want to enable audio over HDMI
[00:06] <twitch> deca97: what type of wifi device is it?
[00:06] <deca97> it's a  linksys wusb11v4
[00:06] <g_0_0> Williams, and if you go to system - preferences - sound it doesn't open correct?
[00:07] <Williams> g_0_0, there is no such selection
[00:07] <g_0_0> Williams, are you using gnome?
[00:07] <deca97> the list of compatable ones don't list that but it seems there is other drivers to make it work with 10.10
[00:07] <twitch> deca97: it hasn't been detected
[00:07] <Williams> g_0_0, yes, ubuntu v10.10
[00:08] <Mac43DO> twitch: I don't see anything with ehci
[00:08] <g_0_0> Williams, and you have no menu option - system - preferences - sound ? does the rest of the menu work correctly?
[00:09] <Williams> g_0_0, yes there is no sound selection. Everything else is fine
[00:10] <Mac43DO> twitch: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 2
[00:10] <g_0_0> Williams, right click on the menu system go to applications and make sure that the sound option is ticked
[00:10] <Mac43DO> why does it not recognize usb-2?
[00:10] <mahpton> does anyone know why multipath routing doesn't work in ubuntu 10.10?  like: ip route add default mpath wrandom nexthop ...
[00:10] <g_0_0> Williams, I meant go to preferences not applications
[00:10] <jon8> i feel bad, earlier today someone gave me a link about how to SIMPLY stop ssh hammering on my server. can someone point me into the right direction with a tutorial please, thanks!
[00:11] <user82> where is the "Applications" menu in the file system? id need to delete some starters and change some
[00:11] <yahoowizard> I'm trying to install this .exe file on Ubuntu using Wine, but whenever I try to change the permissions on the file to allow executable files to run, it doesn't stick
[00:11] <yahoowizard> It just changes back right after you check it, it unchecks itself
[00:11] <Williams> g_0_0, Same crap, no sound selection
[00:11] <KirkMcDonald> yahoowizard: What sort of filesystem is this file on?
[00:11] <g_0_0> in edit menus williams ?
[00:11] <Williams> g_0_0, yes
[00:11] <yahoowizard> It's on Ubuntu, 10.10, if that's what you're asking
[00:12] <KirkMcDonald> yahoowizard: That isn't what I'm asking.
[00:12] <yahoowizard> I'm sorry, I'm not too experienced with Ubuntu
[00:12] <g_0_0> Williams, you selected preferences in the left hand window ?
[00:12] <KirkMcDonald> yahoowizard: Which hard drive is the file on?
[00:12] <Williams> g_0_0, YES. System > Preferences > Main Menu
[00:12] <twitch> Mac43DO: it should be loading as a ehci if it is usb 2 device .. what type of device is it?
[00:12] <yahoowizard> It's on a partition?
[00:12] <KirkMcDonald> yahoowizard: Or, more to the point, which partition is it on?
[00:12] <yahoowizard> sda4
[00:13] <yahoowizard> It's being dualbooted with Windows on the side
[00:13] <KirkMcDonald> yahoowizard: And is this an NTFS partition?
[00:13] <yahoowizard> Let me check
[00:13] <Williams> g_0_0, I can add new item into menu, just what is the command
[00:13] <user82> KirkMcDonald, sorry for interrupting is there a workaround for the ntfs? i have exactly the same issue
[00:13] <g_0_0> Williams, I said right click on system menu choose edit menus a window will show on the left hand side pick preferences then on the right hand side you should be able to find sound make sure it's ticked
[00:14] <KirkMcDonald> yahoowizard: To put the question another way, can be partition be used from Windows?
[00:14] <KirkMcDonald> s/be/the/
[00:14] <yahoowizard> NTFS
[00:15] <yahoowizard> Oh, no, it can't
[00:15] <yahoowizard> It's a separate installation, in a way
[00:15] <Williams> g_0_0, Absolutely the same, No sound
[00:15] <KirkMcDonald> But it is NTFS?
[00:15] <yahoowizard> Yes
[00:15] <theTrav> !java
[00:15] <g_0_0> !resetpanels | Williams
[00:15] <Williams> g_0_0, and by the way our both methods are the same
[00:15] <KirkMcDonald> yahoowizard: You need to use a Unix filesystem to use Unix file permissions.
[00:16] <yahoowizard> OH oh, my bad
[00:16] <yahoowizard> I was looking at the wrong thing
[00:16] <timoharling> i know this is a ubuntu chat so everyone will want to say ubuntu but,,,  what linux distro has the best gui and desktop effects. just looking for something that is totally different looking from the rest.
[00:16] <yahoowizard> Partition Type: Linux (0X83)
[00:16] <Mac43DO> twitch: it is a harddisk, on 10.04 it worked perfectly
[00:16] <yahoowizard> Ext4
[00:16] <KirkMcDonald> yahoowizard: Ah.
[00:16] <KirkMcDonald> yahoowizard: Then I'm not sure what you're seeing.
[00:16] <Williams> g_0_0, ubottu , just did that, still no sound
[00:16] <yahoowizard> It won't let me change any permissions of the file
[00:17] <ciaran_> yahoowizard: move the exe to your home folder and try again
[00:17] <yahoowizard> OHH, I think i got it
[00:17] <KirkMcDonald> yahoowizard: Does chmod give an error message?
[00:17] <yahoowizard> Alright, thansk
[00:17] <KirkMcDonald> heh
[00:17] <Mac43DO> I hate it... an upgrade an a lot of things don't work at all and some are making problems
[00:17] <yahoowizard> Let me see if this wroks...the file was originally on the Windows partition
[00:17] <user82> yahoowizard, your solution is....?
[00:17] <yahoowizard> My friend was failing, haha
[00:17] <user82> ah
[00:17] <minimec> timoharling: Just be creative. An up-to-date linux distro like fedora or ubuntu will give you the same possibilities...
[00:18] <Williams> g_0_0, something's wrong my music player just hanged, I think I'm going to reboot
[00:18] <twitch> Mac43DO: try "sudo update-usbids && sudo update-pciids"
[00:18] <yahoowizard> Yup, that does it
[00:18] <yahoowizard> It was on the Windows partition originally, I'm helping my friend out with this adn didn't know where he was getting the file from
[00:18] <g_0_0> Williams, sudo apt-get install gnome-media
[00:18] <Mac43DO> should have stayed with lucid
[00:18] <timoharling> hello?
[00:19] <user82> does anyone have xp how long shipit takes?
[00:19] <qkumbers> if i have a computer with two nic cards, one is up and running, how do i get the other one up like the first in bridged mode? I'm running a virtual machine and i want the second nic available to it to set up a private network for testing
[00:19] <Mac43DO> twitch: an now?
[00:19] <Mac43DO> reconnect the box?
[00:19] <bastidrazor> user82: they've been fairly quick for me.. 4-5 weeks.
[00:20] <timoharling>  i know this is a ubuntu chat so everyone will want to say ubuntu but,,,  what linux distro has the best gui and desktop effects. just looking for something that is totally different looking from the rest.
[00:20] <user82> ok..
[00:20] <bastidrazor> timoharling: you may get a better response in #ubuntu-offtopic
[00:20] <ratcheer> timoharling: The next release of Ubuntu will have Unity, which is different from everything else...
[00:20] <yahoowizard> Hmm...this file still isn't installing for some reason...IT says opening with WIne, then nothing happens at all
[00:20] <ruth> timoharling_: gui can be customized. That's not why you should change distros...
[00:21] <twitch> Mac43DO: yep reconnect and try .. when you reconnect do dmesg |grep usb again and see if it is uhci or ehci
[00:21] <aeon-ltd> timoharling: there are only 2 real providers of effects and those are compiz and xcompmgr
[00:21] <aeon-ltd> damn too late
[00:21] <yahoowizard> I still dn't ge thow I'm supposed to be isntalling bin and tar.gz files
[00:21] <marc_> qkumbers: look on your panel with the network connections and select create new connection
[00:21] <ciaran_> yahoowizard: whats the program?
[00:21] <magicianlord> compiz is pretty good. i have it turned on with special effects on all computers.
[00:21] <ruth> what other channels are there apart from #ubuntu?
[00:21] <yahoowizard> NASTRAN
[00:21] <magicianlord> it serves no real purpose, but it does speed up the desktop
[00:22] <qkumbers> marc_: sorry, i'm actually using ubuntu server, do you know how to do it from the command line?
[00:22] <Mac43DO> twitch: again usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
[00:22] <qkumbers> i'm also at a loss on how to make it available to an already existing virtual machine
[00:22] <marc_> qkumbers: so no gui?
[00:22] <qkumbers> marc_: nope
[00:23] <qkumbers> marc_: in solaris it used to be plump up/down
[00:23] <user82> ratcheer, ah heck unity........i dont like it
[00:23] <marc_> qkumbers: look at man for ifconfig
[00:23] <twitch> Mac43DO: do you have another usb2 device you can plug in and check if it is loading as u/ehci
[00:24] <Williams> g_0_0, Did the restart, still nothing. Sound works, I am listening to music
[00:24] <ratcheer> user82: Well, that's neither here nor there
[00:24] <Mac43DO> twitch: yes, I try
[00:25] <qkumbers> marc_: okay, let's say i get everything configured through ifconfig, how do i add new interfaces to a virtual machine? the server guide doesn't mention how to do it after the fact
[00:25] <ciaran_> yahoowizard: Thats a very niche program, it might not be supported by WINE
[00:26] <Mac43DO> twitch: usb 5-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address
[00:26] <user82> ratcheer, i think you can disable it and switch back to the normal panel on the bottom easily
[00:26] <Mac43DO> no success
[00:26] <KirkMcDonald> ruth: ... a lot.
[00:27] <Erika> Hi, can any body help me please.......I don´t have internet connection but i Have mail, I mean I cannot connect to any page with browser and evem to Ubuntu center
[00:28] <ruth> KirkMcDonald:  a lot what?
[00:28] <Mac43DO> twitch: I get this: not running at top speed; connect to a high speed hub
[00:28] <Mac43DO> But that IS a USB-2 pci-card
[00:28] <KirkMcDonald> ruth: Of channels.
[00:29] <Mac43DO> frustrating
[00:29] <Williams> g_0_0, any ideas what is wrong ?
[00:29] <ruth> KirkMcDonald: ahh yes! I was just looking into that only :)
[00:29] <twitch> Mac43DO: try plugging a usb2 device stright into the motherboard and see if it loads as ehci .. if it does it narrows it down a bit
[00:30] <marc_> qkumber: is the virtual machine have a static or dhcp connection
[00:31] <Mac43DO> I have no USB-2 on the motherbord ^^
[00:31] <qkumbers> marc_: static
[00:31] <Mac43DO> twitch: I have no USB-2 on the motherboard, that's why I use a pci-card
[00:32] <marc_> qkumber: i take it you understand the basics of tcp/ip
[00:32] <twitch> Mac43DO: ahh ok sounds like the pci card is not loading as a ehci capiable hub can you paste bin your lspci -v for me
[00:33] <qkumbers> marc_: yes
[00:33] <Bizzeh> hi, is it possible to do something similar to "cp -r *.a ../build/" but have it actually work?
[00:34] <Mac43DO> twitch: http://pastebin.com/NkGYFtzy
[00:34] <marc_> qkumber: you need to have the dhcp server and assign static ip and be sure your have all subnets the same
[00:34] <qkumbers> marc_: do you mean across the physical network interfaces?
[00:35] <avis> i have a mac keyboard.  i am tired of having to hold down FN while holding down a function key in order to get it to work.  any work around for this ?
[00:35] <marc_> qkumber: are they both hardware nics
[00:35] <galamar> hello i was wondering what the program is that lets you use you joystick as a mouse?
[00:36] <twitch> Mac43DO: thanks if you look at line 119 to 138 you see it use both uhci and ehci .. hurm
[00:36] <qkumbers> marc_: yes the server has two physical nics, one is part of a bridge that has a static ip on a vlan as part of a larger network
[00:36] <avis> anyone have any tips on conserving the battery on a bluetooth mouse ?  i have to change batteries about once every 3 days.
[00:36] <Williams> I can not start sound preferences, there is no such option under System > Preferences > Sound! Help me please
[00:36] <minimec> Bizzeh: why use the '-r'
[00:36] <avis> Williams, try right clicking the volume icon up top and see if there is a properties
[00:36] <Mac43DO> twitch: the onbord-usb uses both too, but it is only USB-1
[00:36] <marc_> qkumber: so both nics are in use
[00:36] <qkumbers> marc_: i'm trying to bring the other one up, make it available to a virtual machine and assign it a static private address to use with other machines on a closed network (via a dedicated switch)
[00:37] <ruth> Hey, is there anyway to keep different themes/wallpapers for different workspaces?
[00:37] <Williams> avis,  there is, but it doesn't work. That's the problem
[00:37] <Mac43DO> twitch. shoul I try an older kernel?
[00:37] <qkumbers> marc_: the second nic is plugged into a switch, but i don't think any settings are set so the OS sees it but it is not configured
[00:37] <Inso`leet> Does anyone know how to launch a background program in webmin ?
[00:37] <soreau> Williams: Install gnome-media
[00:37] <qkumbers> marc_: i'm sure i could set some via ifconfig and /etc/network/interfaces but i don't know if i need to set up a bridge first and how to present it to the virtual machine
[00:37] <twitch> Mac43DO: yeah ... what kernel you running atm?
[00:38] <EnigmaticCoder> ruth: Compiz can do it, but you won't be able to have any desktop items
[00:38] <marc_> qkumber: so your 1st nic is part of another network on a subnet and static ip for say <IP_ADDRESS> and you want your private network to be on <IP_ADDRESS>?
[00:38] <Williams> soreau, THAT DID IT
[00:38] <Williams> FUCK YOU"RE THE MAN
[00:38] <qkumbers> marc_: exactly!
[00:38] <ActionParsnip> Williams: watch the swears please ;)
[00:38] <marc_> qkumber: you don't want to bridge the connections
[00:38] <galamar> how can i message someone?
[00:38] <twitch> !language | Williams
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> galamar: use:   /msg nick message
[00:39] <ActionParsnip> galamar: remember to ask first too ;)
[00:39] <minimec> Williams: Better than sex, isn't it? ;)
[00:39] <marc_> qkumber: if you want all computers on your private network to use resources from the larger network you need setup a share and not a bridge
[00:39] <qkumbers> marc_: not between nics no, but do i need a bridge between the physical host and the virtual machine through the second nic?
[00:39] <Williams> minimec, I'm not retarted yet :)
[00:40] <marc_> qkumber: the virtual machine should have a virtual nic
[00:40] <qkumbers> marc_: ok, that sounds familiar, then i can add the shared interface with the virtual machine i suppose
[00:40] <itaylor57> KM0201: o/ squeezed yet?
[00:40] <marc_> qkumber: sounds about right
[00:40] <twitch> Mac43DO: btw "yeah" as to the on board i wouldn't roll back kernels, but what kernel version you using atm?
[00:40] <qkumbers> marc_: yes, i want to add a new virtual nic to the virtual machine
[00:40] <KM0201> itaylor57: o/  :)
[00:40] <qkumbers> marc_: so ho do i set up a share?
[00:41] <Mac43DO> twitch: 2.6.35-25-generic
[00:41] <qkumbers> marc_: how*
[00:41] <pooltable> help with vw usb setup?
[00:41] <marc_> qkumber: is this just for internet or file/printer sharing on your private network
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> pooltable: what's vm?
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> vw
[00:41] <pooltable> vmbox
[00:42] <qkumbers> marc_: closed network, no internet. you could say file/print sharing i suppose, but not exactly what i'm doing
[00:42] <pooltable> virtualbox
[00:42] <qkumbers> marc_: basically testing a thin client network
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> pooltable: in a vmbox, the hardware will be virtualized, the wireless will most likely show as a wired nic, as long as the host has the device configured it will fly
[00:42] <twitch> Mac43DO: i'm stuck sry mate, the only thing i can suggest is putting in a bug report or seeing if anyone else knows why since 10.04->10.10 your usb devices are loading as uhci instead of ehci
[00:42] <galamar> i need support for using my joystick as a mouse
[00:43] <qkumbers> marc_: i'm going to connect a few thin clients to the switch that the second nic is on and do some testing without effecting the other network
[00:43] <marc_> qkumbers: so your private network is not connected to the larger one
[00:43] <Mac43DO> twitch: ok, thank you!. i have to go to slepp now, bye!
[00:43] <qkumbers> marc_: no it is not
[00:43] <twitch> Mac43DO: np's sry I couldn't get it fixed for you
[00:44] <qkumbers> marc_: the thin client server i'm running will run a dhcp server only on the second interface and the thin clients will get a address from it on a different class of IPs and then be able to connect, etc
[00:45] <qkumbers> marc_: it works fine on the larger network, but i need it isolated now to continue testing
[00:45] <marc_> qkumber: the larger network has a router
[00:45] <Gnea> galamar: usb or serial joystick?
[00:45] <qkumbers> marc_: you could say that, yes
[00:45] <galamar> gnea: usb
[00:45] <marc_> qkumber: so basically the larger network's router handles the routing and dhcp
[00:46] <qkumbers> marc_: yes, although the server is using a static configuration on the larger network
[00:46] <qkumbers> marc_: your earlier description was spot on
[00:47] <qkumbers> marc_: eth0 - static 10.x.x.x, eth1 - (i want) static 192.168.x.x
[00:47] <YamatoPotter> can someone help me? My empathy photo doesn't change
[00:47] <marc_> qkumbers: so you want to use a switch on a physical nic to connect other computers using thin client to connect to a virtual server as the router
[00:47] <qkumbers> marc_: eth0 - router, eth1 - switch
[00:47] <qkumbers> marc_: yes
[00:47] <presman> what's the easiest way from the cli to create multiple directories from a list (.csv, .txt, .xls)?
[00:48] <qkumbers> presman: maybe xargs
[00:48] <Random832> presman: directories?
[00:48] <Random832> .csv .txt
[00:48] <Random832> oh, you mean that's the format the list is in
[00:48] <presman> correct
[00:48] <qkumbers> presman: maybe if you pipe the cat of the list to xargs, not sure
[00:48] <Random832> i'd just copy the list into vim, surround them in quotes and mkdir, and run it a shell script
[00:49] <marc_> qkumbers: if you bridge the eth1 and virtual nic and setup routing on your virtual machine
[00:49] <Gnea> galamar: might want to start by installing xserver-xorg-input-joystick
[00:49] <Gnea> galamar: not sure beyond that...
[00:49] <Rallias> how do I configure sendmail to foreward mail over ssl port 587?
[00:49] <presman> hmm
[00:49] <Gnea> galamar: might need to edit /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-joystick.conf or something
[00:50] <qkumbers> marc_: ok, so set up a bridge using eth1 on the physical host, then add the bridge as a virtual nic interface on the virtual host? then set up IP, etc on the virtual host?
[00:51] <marc_> qkumbers: yes then it will use the physical eth on the switch to allow other machines to connect
[00:51] <marc_> qkumbers: I assume the virtual machine has the thin server
[00:51] <galamar> Gnea: i have that already hmmm i had it working on natty but dont remember how i did it. i think i got advice here.
[00:51] <qkumbers> marc_: yes. ok, i'm going to give that a shot, thanks!
[00:52] <marc_> qkumbers: its been a while since i played with stuff like that
[00:52] <Gnea> galamar: if you're on 10.04 or 10.10, we can help you here, otherwise for natty you'll need to ask in #ubuntu+1
[00:53] <qkumbers> marc_: it always confuses me. i'm moving over from solaris so there are some new things too
[00:53] <qkumbers> marc_: i've been on linux for a while, but never did advanced networking like this on it
[00:53] <marc_> qkumbers: same thing different names
[00:53] <galamar> Gnea: nope natty crashed switched to lucid
[00:54] <mepenete> hey everyone
[00:54] <qkumbers> marc_: yup, the trick is finding the different names i suppose
[00:54] <mepenete> I was wondering if anyone was good with samba and could give me a few tips on configuring it?
[00:54] <Gnea> galamar: okay. I've never setup a joystick like that before, so I'm not sure of the proper procedure, and documentation for it seems to be geared toward undoing it rather than setting it up
[00:54] <marc_> qkumbers: also lol try interfacing with activedirectory
[00:55] <qkumbers> marc_: i have, it isn't fun at all
[00:56] <qkumbers> marc_: i've given that stuff up in place of a good identity manager, that way LDAP can coexist with AD and everyone can do what they're best at, while the common info stays in sync
[00:56] <galamar> Gnea: there is a program for it but i cant remember the name.
[00:57] <qkumbers> marc_: it's too bad that Oracle bought Sun, because the Sun Identity Manager was pretty good
[00:57] <marc_> qkumbers: most users are best at whining and breaking all your hard work lol
[00:57] <lexvegas> Anyone know how to get exFAT to work in Ubuntu? I formatted my external HDD as that without knowing it, and i dont have the disk space to copy somewhere else and reformat.
[00:57] <qkumbers> marc_: i'm finding i get angry at them faster than before, guess i'm losing patience lol
[00:58] <marc_> qkumbers: no your becoming a true network technician
[00:58] <acidtech> у меняяя не стооооиииииииииииииь твоя роза в стакааанеееее
[00:58] <acidtech> у тебя не течёёёёёт из под крана вода
[00:58] <twitch> marc_: lol
[00:58] <twitch> !ru | acidtech
[00:58] <Gnea> galamar: joymouse comes to mind, but I can't find it
[00:58] <krger> Somebody's nekulturny.

[00:59] <DaGeek247> !info oneko
[00:59] <acidtech> you are banned from #ubuntu-ru

[01:01] <marc_> qkumbers: you got a few more trials yet

[01:03] <galamar> Gnea: hmmm they did a bunch of work with it for the ps3 ubuntu for powerpc but idk

[01:03] <qkumbers> marc_: lol, at this point i'm not sure if the trials ever end
[01:03] <usr13> evulhotdog: you mean like Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and Ctrl-Alt-Del and Ctrl-Alt-Esc ?
[01:03] <ManecA> if i mute the sound in leopard before switching over to ubuntu does it have any effect?
[01:04] <evulhotdog> usr13 touchpad gestures
[01:04] <usr13> evulhotdog: Oh, I dono
[01:04] <marc_> qkumbers: there is a reason that it techies go bald and get overweight
[01:04] <evulhotdog> ManecA it shouldnt...
[01:04] <usr13> evulhotdog: You could just try and see.
[01:04] <evulhotdog> usr13 try...how? haha
[01:04] <DaGeek247> marc_:  lol
[01:04] <qkumbers> marc_: stop cheering me up ;)
[01:05] <evulhotdog> I want to know how to do it
[01:05] <acidtech> what is wrong in my ID?
[01:05] <usr13> evulhotdog: Ctrl-Alt-Backspace should restart X
[01:05] <Mbaggs> hey all
[01:06] <Mbaggs> hav a problem
[01:06] <marc_> qkumbers: another issue with IT people i noticed.. they don't use pen and paper
[01:06] <evulhotdog> usr13 I didnt do it, so I dont know
[01:06] <evulhotdog> haha
[01:06] <qkumbers> marc_: got a pad and pen sitting right in front of me, i can't let the stuff go!
[01:07] <Mbaggs> would like to know how to get linux dc+++  to use ports 411
[01:07] <qkumbers> marc_: doodles in the margins of a word processor just don't feel the same ;)
[01:07] <Pici> !dontzal | usr13 evulhotdog
[01:07] <Mbaggs> it keeps telling me cant open tcp/udp port
[01:07] <Pici> !dontzap | usr13 evulhotdog
[01:07] <marc_> qkumbers: whenever you have a problem.. like just now.. draw boxes or cut out squares and write what you want to do in small parts in the boxes so one bit in one box
[01:08] <marc_> qkumbers: then rearrange them so they make sense
[01:08] <twitch> Mbaggs: do a nmap on your self and see if the port is already being utilized
[01:08] <KM0201> Pici: there's an easy GUI way to do it as well..
[01:08] <Mbaggs> ? how please
[01:08] <grkblood> ok, ive been askign this question for three days now
[01:08] <grkblood> after i upgraded totem no longer puts playlists in numerical order, how do i change it back?
[01:08] <qkumbers> marc_: yeah, it's easy to get lost without taking a step back like that sometimes
[01:08] <grkblood> upgraded to 10.10, not toem
[01:08] <grkblood> totem*
[01:09] <usr13> Pici: Thanks for the info.
[01:09] <grkblood> i did a system upgrade
[01:09] <qkumbers> marc_: i started narrowing down on specifics without looking at the big picture
[01:09] <twitch> Mbaggs: "nmap <IP_ADDRESS>" dont have nmap installed "sudo apt-get install nmap"
[01:09] <Mbaggs> thankyou
[01:09] <marc_> qkumbers: hence the load of questions i fired at you lol
[01:10] <MrMookie> so in windows I can use "FOR /F %n IN (newfolders.txt) DO MKDIR %n" to create directories from a .txt file. What would be an equalivent
[01:10] <qkumbers> marc_: haha, yeah that helped me work through my own setup in my head. thanks again. i got the bridge up! now to see if i can add it to the virtual machine
[01:11] <evulhotdog> Pici and usr13 what I meant was touchpad gestures such as OSX's
[01:12] <marc_> qkumbers: sorry but i thought the bridge was for the virtual nic to physical nic
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> evulhotdog: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/gestikk-mouse-gesture-recognition-in-ubuntu.html
[01:12] <Williams> soreau, me again :) I got a feeling that I am going to irritate you :) So now I want to enable audio over HDMI. So far no success, any suggestions ?
[01:13] <qkumbers> marc_: where do i create it then? once i created it on the physical host, i am able to add a virtual nic that specifies that bridge as the "source device"
[01:14] <galamar> how do i know if i am using 64bit ubuntu.... i know my processor is amd64 but not sure about OS
[01:14] <marc_> qkumbers: should work..
[01:14] <maco> galamar: uname -m
[01:14] <marc_> qkumbers: my bad i thought you said it was up
[01:14] <ActionParsnip> galamar: uname -m
[01:14] <johum> 555
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> galamar: i686 == 32bit  x86_64 == 64bit
[01:15] <galamar> maco: i686 so is that bad
[01:15] <JoeCoolDesk1> Hello friends
[01:15] <maco> galamar: 32bit
[01:15] <johum> everyone
[01:15] <marc_> qkumbers: not half way through lol
[01:15] <ActionParsnip> hi JoeCoolDesk1
[01:15] <johum> hello
[01:15] <qkumbers> marc_: well it looks like it worked, i have new interfaces in the virtual machine that i guess i can configure on the same network with static IPs, i just don't understand why it added two more interfaces (eth1, eth2)
[01:15] <galamar> should i be using 64-bit.... will using 32-bit cause problems?
[01:16] <nibox> +i
[01:16] <JoeCoolDesk1> Can I take my VirtualBox installation of Ubuntu and install it into a partition on my real PC?
[01:16] <nibox> hi
[01:16] <galamar> maco: should i be using 64-bit.... will using 32-bit cause problems?
[01:16] <maco> galamar: amd64 is backwards compatible
[01:16] <ActionParsnip> JoeCoolDesk1: i'd ask in #vbox too,as far as I know it installs to a disk image
[01:16] <marc_> qkumbers: are they on the virtual
[01:16] <maco> galamar: i just said it's backwards compatible....
[01:16] <nibox> hi
[01:16] <DaGeek247> JoeCoolDesk1, yes. ask about in #vbox.
[01:17] <galamar> maco: okay so ill be fine?.... what do i gain if i run 64-bit?
[01:17] <nibox> you are a information for instalation
[01:17] <nibox> in bt4
[01:17] <minimec> Williams: did you check the audio preferences in the panel? (gnome-volume-control)
[01:17] <qkumbers> marc_: yeah. before reboot: eth0, after: eth0, eth1, eth2
[01:17] <Bushman> [PROBLEM] Bluetooth dongle dies every few minutes only when using BT mouse, more info -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1668076
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> nibox: bcktrack is offtopic here
[01:17] <nibox> do not instal a compact package
[01:17] <nibox> in my bt4
[01:17] <nibox> for a sudo options
[01:17] <qkumbers> marc_: looking around, can't explain it. i'm going to try removing it and adding again
[01:17] <maco> galamar: well 32bit kernels automatically get PAE if you have >3GB RAM at install time so umm.... 64bit gets you support for A) over 5TB RAM and B) having a single process use over 3GB all by itself
[01:17] <ActionParsnip> nibox: backtrack has it's own channel
[01:18] <Williams> minimec, yeah I did, there is HDMI output, but it doesn't work
[01:18] <marc_> qkumbers: without seeing it
[01:18] <maco> galamar: assuming you're not talking about a server under HUGE load... 64bit doesnt get ya much
[01:19] <qkumbers> marc_: seeing what?
[01:19] <marc_> qkumbers: what your doing lol
[01:19] <galamar> maco: okay thank you i think ill stay with 32.
[01:19] <cipherz> hello, anyone tried that cpufreq keeps switching cpu speed while on battery ? (I have tried both having performance and fixed max cpu speed)
[01:20] <qkumbers> marc_: this is nuts, i just removed the interface and eth2 is still there with the same virtual MAC
[01:20] <marc_> qkumbers: like i said its been a while since i have done this.. but if i can remember it did add virtual nics
[01:20] <minimec> Williams: Could you 'paste.ubuntu.com' the output of 'lspci' on a console?
[01:21] <qkumbers> marc_: maybe it was automatic and i wasn't supposed to add it myself, not sure. i'm going to just use eth2 and see what happens
[01:21] <marc_> qkumbers: something about sharing the bridge to another nic because the actual nic is in use by the bridge
[01:22] <marc_> qkumbers: so the computer cannot use the nic that is bridged for anything
[01:24] <qkumbers> marc_: i think it is related to that. i was using the virt-manager gui to do this stuff remotely from an ubuntu desktop and i think it wasn't happy with me messing with all the settings while the vritual machine was running...
[01:25] <marc_> qkumbers: so the nic you wanted to bridge was in use at the time
[01:26] <qkumbers> marc_: no, i think the gui just got things confused. now that it's all straightened out, i have to go mess with the persistent-net.rules to fix the fact that it assigned it to eth3 :-/
[01:27] <itai1> hi, i cant access any of the repos, doesnt matter which country i choose, i always get a 404, otherwise the internet is fine, what can i do ?
[01:28] <marc_> qkumbers: sigh
[01:28] <bastidrazor> itai1: you're probably using a versoin that has reached end of life. what version of ubuntu are you using?
[01:28] <qkumbers> marc_: that's what i get for using a gui :)
[01:28] <itai1> bastidrazor, maybe, intrepid
[01:28] <bastidrazor> itai1: yes, that version has lost its support.
[01:29] <bastidrazor> !eol | itai1
[01:29] <TanechkaA> hi
[01:29] <qkumbers> marc_: ok, all better now, let me try to configure the interface...
[01:29] <itai1> bastidrazor, oh dear ....thanks
[01:29] <marc_> qkumbers: i take it your at work?
[01:30] <bastidrazor> itai1: you're welcome.
[01:30] <itai1> bastidrazor, actually, i just need one package , can i manually download it from another repo >
[01:30] <itai1> ?

[01:31] <fuku> anyone knows how to run wlan on wmware ?   pls help
[01:31] <bastidrazor> itai1: the issue with that is the dependencies will not match.
[01:31] <qkumbers> marc_: where is that? i'm in the New York/US time zone
[01:32] <marc_> qkumbers: across the pond in London UK
[01:32] <itai1> bastidrazor, if i recall correctly there are no dependencies , if there are i will give up...

[01:34] <bastidrazor> itai1: http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/openvpn  may be the closest version. there is a download link there.
[01:34] <qkumbers> marc_: found a new appreciation for whiskey after visiting. never have mine on the rocks again ;)
[01:34] <DaGeek247> itai1 'sudo ./scriptname.sh'

[01:35] <twitch> User_007: try this site http://linuxappfinder.com/package/toshutils
[01:36] <marc_> qkumbers: well if the thin client computers have basic networking os's or whatever test the connections
[01:36] <marcos_> does any body here know why ubuntu does not permit me to open hotmail and emesene ?
[01:36] <marcos_> is there a problem ?
[01:36] <Blundt> The rolling stones say" hey you, get offa my cloud, the scottsman says hey, Mc Cloud, get offa my ewe
[01:36] <qkumbers> marc_: just have to do a little work before i can get to that test, may save it for tomorrow...

[01:37] <Blundt> hopping for some help here
[01:37] <marc_> qkumbers: no sense is continuing with the thin install if they won't connect because of a networking error
[01:38] <marc_> qkumbers: not hard to run a ping test from a computer with a livecd inserted?
[01:38] <qkumbers> marc_: i don't think i can ping them otherwise, they don't have anything but firmware and they need to be assigned an IP by the thin server
[01:38] <qkumbers> marc_: hmm, not a bad thought
[01:39] <marc_> qkumbers: at you know any further issues are not tcp/ip related and you can test the dhcp as well
[01:41] <twitch> User_007: try "sudo apt-get install toshutils"
[01:41] <marc_> qkumbers: I am going to sleep i have to be up in the morning as got a couple of appointments to keep
[01:41] <qkumbers> marc_: no prob, thanks for the company and all the help!
[01:41] <qkumbers> marc_: much obliged
[01:41] <User_007> twitch, yeah i already done it
[01:42] <marc_> qkumbers: i stopped working as an IT support operative a couple years ago.. in favour of more manual work i got a belly to rid myself of lol night good luck
[01:42] <User_007> but after that i get : required kernel toshiba support not enabled

[01:43] <Gnea> hm, the eth0 on a computer I'm working on won't work - it has a mac address, but dhclient eth0 won't get it an IP and I can't figure out why
[01:43] <danub> where do i go to set ctrl+c to stop a script?
[01:43] <Gnea> the cat5e is good, I know this because I can get an IP with it on another computer
[01:43] <danub> i looked in the terminal keyboard to see
[01:43] <Gnea> danub: ctrl+c is universal
[01:43] <danub> but there is nothing there about it
[01:44] <ManecA> for some reason my sound has stopped working, can anyone help?
[01:44] <danub> Gnea: well i have to hit ctrl+shift+c to make it stop
[01:44] <Gnea> danub: that's weird, is it only for one script or any?
[01:44] <dcg> anyone have recent experience setting up multi seat on maverick?
[01:44] <danub> for anything in the terminal
[01:44] <Gnea> danub: I have never had to type it like that.
[01:44] <dcg> danub: any chance it is a faulty keyboard?
[01:44] <acidtech> i put my penis in acetone
[01:44] <Gnea> never, ever, for over 10 years.
[01:45] <Gnea> !language | acidtech
[01:45] <Gnea> !ot | acidtech
[01:45] <danub> dcg: nope, Gnea normally i dont either, but on this, its not working
[01:45] <twitch> User_007: how about "sudo fnfx"
[01:46] <dcg> danub: another posibility would be that some "accesibility" features are on requiring the extra key to be pressed. eg: ctrl and shift have been swapped.
[01:46] <qkumbers> dcg: what do you mean by multi seat?
[01:46] <User_007> twitch, i have no problem using fnfx shortcuts...
[01:46] <User_007> twitch, my only problem is with the fan
[01:47] <danub> dcg: found it. i changed ctrl+c to copy lol

[01:48] <Mbaggs> it still comes up unable to open tcp/udp port

[02:06] <YankDownUnder> TheAnarchist, Sounds like a partitioning issue mate.
[02:06] <TheAnarchist> How can I clear everything out and get it to work?

[02:06] <YankDownUnder> TheAnarchist, What you can do is boot to the USB, run gparted, delete the partitions, start again....
[02:07] <TheAnarchist> Okay, how do I get Gparted on a USB? Does the USB installer work with it? (I know how to use Gparted)
[02:08] <EvilPhoenix> TheAnarchist:  you just need to install the Ubuntu CD image to the USB drive, and it should come with gparted installed on it
[02:08] <YankDownUnder> When you boot to the USB stick, and you just to the "Try Ubuntu" bit, when you get to the desktop, click SYSTEM => ADMINISTRATION => GPARTED
[02:08] <EvilPhoenix> it may show up as "partition editor", instead of "gparted"
[02:08] <TheAnarchist> okay
[02:09] <RedLance> eam1, How bout this one? http://paste.ubuntu.com/564778/

[02:10] <wolfric> why can't you hibernate on battery power? The option only seems to appear when i'm plugged into the mains
[02:10] <Mindkontrol> Hello all
[02:10] <selig5> 12345
[02:10] <wolfric> hibernate should be no power at all so it shouldn't be an issue right?
[02:10] <Mindkontrol> New user with quick question
[02:10] <ManecA> How do i unmute front speakers from alsamixer menu in terminal?
[02:11] <Mindkontrol> How do i easly copy the text from my file test.txt in home dir, to the bottem of the .bashrc file
[02:11] <KM0201> ManecA: typically just run alsamixer in termnal and go through and adjust accordingly
[02:11] <ManecA> i have it open in the terminal, but i dont know what i am supposed to type.
[02:12] <KirkMcDonald> Mindkontrol: cat test.txt >> .bashrc
[02:12] <Mindkontrol> KirkMcDonald: Thank you sir
[02:12] <ManecA> oh nevermind
[02:12] <ManecA> just use arrow keys
[02:14] <Guest82111> nevermind solved the problem
[02:15] <eam1> RedLance: that seems to be a bug in gcc compiler
[02:15] <RedLance> eam1, Hmmm...ok then.  Thanks again!

[02:22] <ross_> maco: you there?
[02:22] <ross_> maco: what do you think about macbooks?
[02:23] <ross_> maco: would you buy a macbook and set up a triple boot on it? (windows/linux/mac)
[02:23] <MrMookie> buy a pc and save the money
[02:23] <maco> ross_: i would be surprised if you found one in your price range...  i know they all claim to be the same audio hardware even when not resulting in righteously annoying the audio developers, though i think theyve found workarounds to deal with this now...  lots of people do run ubuntu on them though
[02:24] <ross_> maco: hmmm....if i have to pay more i'll pay more, but what do you think?
[02:24] <wasutton3-Laptop> does anyone have any recommendations to alternatives to gtkterm? or at least a way to store all the lines that it recieves to a file?
[02:24] <ross_> maco: about my decision getting a macbook and setting up a triple boot
[02:24] <maco> ross_: it's a common thing to do
[02:25] <ross_> maco: what macbook do you recommend?
[02:25] <ross_> maco: the pro?
[02:25] <maco> ross_: no idea. i dont buy apple hardware
[02:25] <maco> ross_: my last two laptops came from zareason
[02:25] <ross_> maco: ah ok

[02:35] <sha1sum> This might be slightly off-topic, but nevertheless I'm sure there are more than enough people here that would know: I'm looking for a free SaaS solution that will do the simple job of reminding me of things on specific dates, and the ability to set recurring reminders. I don't need a calendar because the reminders have nothing to do with an appointment schedule. I simply want a hosted, email reminder solution.
[02:36] <fancycakes> sha1sum, you could write a bash script and put it as a cron job
[02:36] <sha1sum> a.k.a. "Don't forget to not be a douchebag to your coworkers" sent every monday at 8:15am
[02:36] <armence> Hello all, what package contains xv?
[02:36] <sha1sum> fancycakes: I suppose I could do that on a VPS or something you're right
[02:37] <sha1sum> or cloud, etc
[02:37] <maco> sha1sum: but if google calendar would work for this (and it would) why not just go with it and set that calendar to invisible when you view it?
[02:37] <sha1sum> I've seen overpriced web services that will let you email an address with a loose syntax to set them also
[02:37] <maco> sha1sum: when you view the_sum_of_all_your_calendars i mean...
[02:38] <sacarlson> sha1sum: I think yahoo or google mail have schedual tools that can mail events,  not sure about recuring, so maybe cron would be better for that
[02:40] <fsufitch> hey guys. i'm running ubuntu on a xen-based VPS, and after a security kernel upgrade, my iptables kernel module vanished. can anyone help me recover this?
[02:40] <sha1sum> my goal is to get all the stupid little stuff I have to do on a regular basis off of my mind, and the best way I've found to do that is to have a text message sent to my phone. I can send a message to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and it will go to my phone. I kind of like the cron idea
[02:41] <sha1sum> PITA to set a new reminder but I can make a PHP form with some basic apache auth to add a new one I guess
[02:42] <sha1sum> I've used a couple of services over the years to do this and sadly, though I've donated, apparently one donation is not enough to keep a full web application service online lol
[02:42] <sha1sum> and most other services are too bloated
[02:42] <sha1sum> (for what I need)

[02:58] <TariQMowafy> new problem

[03:00] <ZeroAdam> upgrade through all those since 9x or fresh install of 10.10?
[03:00] <TariQMowafy> upgrade
[03:01] <TariQMowafy> i cant figure out where the problem comes from
[03:01] <vesayth> I've always found it best to just fresh install when i'm ready to upgrade
[03:02] <ZeroAdam> hummm.. only problems i've run into are ones i've made myself. I'm still a noob really, I can't think of anything off hand that would give you problems all of a sudden
[03:02] <vesayth> especially if i've done any manual configuring of stuff
[03:02] <vesayth> that stuff doesn't tend to keep well through upgrades
[03:02] <ZeroAdam> same here.. i agree with fresh installs
[03:02] <TariQMowafy> i cant make a fresh install
[03:02] <TariQMowafy> i'll lose alot of stuff
[03:02] <entity_> I upgraded via command line but then at a later date did fresh install
[03:02] <ZeroAdam> too much data to copy off first?
[03:03] <vesayth> make another partition

[03:03] <vesayth> on your hard drive
[03:03] <TariQMowafy> projects

[03:05] <LaranKriese> does anyone have advice on how to install the Samsung unified driver.  Autoinstall is not working (or I'm doing it wrong????)
[03:05] <vesayth> RealNewNow: ATI HD 5000 series audio drivers are really buggy
[03:05] <ZeroAdam> Yeah, I would almost guarantee that will fix a lot of your problems but I know the data and such can be a pain
[03:05] <vesayth> even if you get it working it will likely be quiet sound
[03:05] <jmurph05> hey everyone.  So i set up an Ubuntu server to use as my gateway router.  Every couple minutes, i have to do a manual networking restart to keep any connection to the internet alive, any ideas?

[03:07] <vesayth> realnewnow: I played with it before and tossed it when i realized they were crap, but hold on i'll see if i can look it up again real quick
[03:07] <LaranKriese> am I going to get any answers here???
[03:07] <RealNewNow> Thanks!
[03:07] <entity_> blah...
[03:08] <RealNewNow> ok, this is going to sound real noobieish, but how do I turn off the joins/parts in xchat?

[03:11] <vesayth> is it HDMI-HDMI or DVI-HDMI?
[03:11] <RealNewNow> cable?
[03:11] <TheAnarchist> Ok
[03:11] <jaypro> what program do you guys use to burn DAA files?
[03:11] <vesayth> or are you using a DVI-HDMI adaptor + HDMI cable
[03:11] <TheAnarchist> What kind of partition table do I need?
[03:11] <TheAnarchist> msdos right?
[03:12] <vesayth> theanarchist: msdos or guid, i suggest msdos though

[03:14] <RealNewNow> vesayth:  yes, its integrated into the laptop MB
[03:14] <vesayth> if so, I don't see why you need those drivers - they are specifically for connecting to an hdmi monitor that has outgoing sound plugged in rather than plugging it into the machine
[03:15] <RealNewNow> I see.  well the sound has no bass or treble, it's just flat.
[03:15] <jmurph05> hello all, any idea why my ubuntu server would require a network restart to allow me to continue using it as a router?

[03:18] <TheAnarchist> :D
[03:18] <EvilPhoenix> not sure if BASH is posix-compliant, is it?
[03:19] <Gnea> EvilPhoenix: just a shell prompt or a shell?
[03:19] <EvilPhoenix> Gnea:  something similar to what bash is, but posix-compliant.  I always confuse shell prompt and shell so if i spoke wrong, forgive me
[03:20] <Gnea> EvilPhoenix: no problem, bash is actually IEEE POSIX P1003.2/ISO 9945.2 Shell and Tools compliant
[03:20] <EvilPhoenix> ah nice, wasnt sure if it was or not :P
[03:20] <zerovertex> vesayth, I installed 10.10 on a hard drive using VMWare workstation. I then move the drive into a Fujitsu Lifebook and fired it right up. VMWare Workstation is free for 30-days.

[03:21] <Gnea> EvilPhoenix: if in doubt, always check with the head website: http://www.gnu.org/software/bash/  :)

[03:23] <Gnea> EvilPhoenix: I use zsh now, actually
[03:23] <Gnea> EvilPhoenix: used bash for a number of years, though
[03:23] <EvilPhoenix> mind explainin to me the differences between bash and zsh?
[03:23] <EvilPhoenix> Gnea:  ^
[03:23] <Gnea> well, it helps if you have a deep understanding of at least one of them :)

[03:57] <istevenmon> hi guys, i am having some trouble using mail with ubuntu 10.10. it wont send mail from user to user, and it wont quit with the . in an empty line
[03:57] <miketomdool> or you might be able to use wine for notepad++
[03:57] <tf2ftw> miketomdool, ive tried it but its not worth it
[03:57] <sk222> how can i start a private server?
[03:58] <th0r> sk222: plug it in?
[03:58] <sacarlson> TheAnarchist: I'm guessing you installed mbr to wrong device /dev/sda  or /dev/sdb ?  those devices sometimes make the usb flash disk /dev/sda so you would need to install to /dev/sdb for your mbr,  remind you i am guessing with no details
[03:58] <sk222> plug it in?
[03:58] <tf2ftw> sacarlson, that sounds right
[04:01] <Ryanj629> hello
[04:02] <Ryanj629> I am having trouble installing ubuntu.  Could someone help me out?
[04:02] <tf2ftw> ok
[04:02] <tf2ftw> what is your problem/.
[04:03] <sk222> wish i got help like that
[04:03] <tf2ftw> sk222, what do you need?
[04:03] <Ryanj629> I have it load on a usb drive.  I boot from that drive and get to the menu just fine
[04:03] <sacarlson> sk222: you would if we had a clue as to what problem or what kind of server it is you want to create
[04:03] <tf2ftw> ive been drinking rum and im trying to ignore my gf right now.
[04:04] <Ryanj629> but when i select to install to HD, it loads a bunch of files, then the screen goes black
[04:04] <sacarlson> sk222: the less information you provide the less of a chance you will find someone that is smart enuf to figure it out
[04:04] <sk222> mmkay
[04:04] <sk222> thank you
[04:04] <tf2ftw> Ryanj629, what type of machine are you installing to? what version of ubuntu?
[04:04] <Ryanj629> actually, my monitor goes into powersaver, like it is not getting a signal anymore
[04:04] <sk222> im looking to start a private server.
[04:04] <TheAnarchist> Do I make partition ext4 or swap?
[04:04] <tf2ftw> Ryanj629, are you running a graphics card?
[04:05] <sk222> where only a select few people can join password protected and encrypted
[04:05] <Ryanj629> its an old gmaing PC i have, intel processor
[04:05] <tf2ftw> TheAnarchist, you make both
[04:05] <TheAnarchist> Also, I set mount point to /?
[04:05] <tf2ftw> let the system do it fo ryou
[04:05] <TheAnarchist> either works?
[04:05] <Ryanj629> yes, there is a graphics card... no on board video
[04:05] <sacarlson> sk222: you must not understand that there are 1000 different types of servers and even port 80 servers there are 100 different applications that can server them
[04:05] <tf2ftw> TheAnarchist, you would be best to let the installer do it. You need a root point (/) swap and a swap
[04:06] <tf2ftw> Ryanj629,  is it invidia?
[04:06] <tf2ftw> nvidia
[04:06] <TheAnarchist> Ok, so I put erase and use entire disk?
[04:06] <tf2ftw> yes
[04:06] <sk222> alright please understand i am new to ubuntu and new to irc
[04:06] <tf2ftw> TheAnarchist, yes do that
[04:06] <Ryanj629> no, it is ATI
[04:06] <tf2ftw> Ryanj629, ATI is not very well supported
[04:06] <tf2ftw> should be able t get a basic screen though
[04:07] <g_0_0> sk222, what do you want your server to do?
[04:07] <Moroni> hello again
[04:07] <sk222> be private. be encrypted, no logs, password protected.
[04:07] <sacarlson> sk222: to start at the bottom you should at least provide the package of the software that you are working to try to setup such a server
[04:08] <TheAnarchist> Waiting on it to install
[04:08] <TheAnarchist> will see how it does this time >.<
[04:08] <isleshocky77> When trying to install ubuntu 10.04LTS it fails on installing the grub boot loader. I've done this setup with RAID 1 following the tutorials online. I believe the problem is I was never able to mark the root partition as bootable and I just moved forward anyways. 1, why would it not let me? 2, is there a way to mark it bootable after the fact. 3, can i install grub after without redoing the whole installation?
[04:08] <tf2ftw> sk222, what does this server do!!??? file sever?? mail server?? apache server!??
[04:08] <g_0_0> sk222, are you talking web server, irc, mail, what?
[04:08] <sk222> IRC
[04:08] <Vustom> Something seems to be wrong with Minitunes.. I tried downloading it and Its not in the Sound & Video area.. i followed this guide : http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/minitunes-aka-just-another-music-player.html
[04:08] <tf2ftw> sk222, you are trying to create a IRC server?
[04:08] <sk222> yes.
[04:09] <Ryanj629> tf2ftw, i tried changing some boot parameters... fb=false , and vga=788, but nothing worked.   Is there nothing else I can try?
[04:09] <tf2ftw> have you done any research elsewhere?
[04:09] <sacarlson> sk222: that's the type of server irc  ok one step closer,  there are at least 5 irc server applications that I know of and some custom scripts that do the same thing
[04:10] <tf2ftw> Ryanj629, first thing i would do is google you motherboard and ubuntu. see what results you get
[04:10] <sk222> okay the program im running now is uhh smuxi
[04:10] <sk222> if that helps
[04:10] <madsailor> I'm using recordmydesktop for screenvids (in Maverick) and it outputs ogv files.  I'd like to convert them to a format playable by standard installs of windows as well as ubuntu/linux.  which codec/container is easiest for the end-viewer? - Please redirect me to a more appropriate place if this isn't closely-enough related to Ubuntu.
[04:11] <Ryanj629> ok, thank you for your help tf2ftw
[04:11] <tf2ftw> madsailor, winff
[04:11] <tf2ftw> Ryanj629, np
[04:11] <sacarlson> sk222: that apears to be a client not a server application
[04:11] <tf2ftw> madsailor, use winff to convert to mpetg
[04:11] <tf2ftw> mpeg

[04:18] <g_0_0> sk222, check here too https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IrcServer
[04:18] <sacarlson> g_0_0: I didn't know ircd-hybrid did encrytped?

[04:21] <jdelanoy> is there a way to define directory shortcuts in ubuntu?
[04:23] <jdelanoy> like, for example, in Windows, if I type %SYSDIR% it takes me to c:\windows\system32
[04:23] <jdelanoy> is there a way to define variables in that manner in ubuntu?
[04:24] <g_0_0> sacarlson, supports ssl apparently
[04:24] <Anonnn> does linux get data quicker? seems like my downloads are faster now..
[04:24] <Anonnn> maybe less random winshit thats connected to the internet
[04:24] <Anonnn> thanks guys its workin now
[04:24] <samael6> does anybody here know where sun-java6-jre is
[04:24] <chuix> its a runtime
[04:24] <sacarlson> g_0_0: I just checked your right ircd-hybrid does support ssl ,  I'm just not a security freque
[04:25] <jdelanoy> holysh
[04:25] <chuix> use alias or define variable in .bashrc
[04:25]  * M3de is away: No toy! favor dejar mensaje despues si quiero lo leo!
[04:26] <Madpilot> !netsplit
[04:26] <dotblank> Thats was a huge netsplit
[04:26] <jdelanoy> O_O
[04:27]  * jdelanoy has never been in here during a split before
[04:27] <jdelanoy> good god... o_O
[04:27] <Madpilot> just relax and watch the fireworks
[04:27] <dotblank> usually its never this bad
[04:27] <Madpilot> like the bot said
[04:27] <Callum__> Wow, a lot of netsplits tonight
[04:27] <chuix> weird
[04:28] <jdelanoy> so...
[04:28] <jdelanoy> is there a way to set environment variables on ubuntu?
[04:28] <cbilljones> im having trouble with my ftp server(proftpd) i keep getting "500 illegal port command"
[04:28] <sacarlson> jdelanoy: $value="this"
[04:29] <sacarlson> jdelanoy: I got that wrong ;  $value="this" ; echo $value
[04:29] <Guest93325> hi can someone help dont know way my pictory folder have a little lock on the corner.& it wont let me save anying of the pictorys.
[04:29] <chuix> i use tcsh so... not exactly the same syntax
[04:29] <jdelanoy> sacarlson: will that save the variable anywhere, or do I have to define it each time
[04:29] <jdelanoy> ?
[04:29] <lolno> netsplit
[04:30] <sacarlson> jdelanoy: it's just as long as that session is open,  if you want it to last you can edit your ~.bashc file or for all of the system there are other ways
[04:30] <jdelanoy> ok ty
[04:30] <r007> .
[04:30] <chuix> first: at which level your variable must be scope
[04:31] <cbilljones> im having trouble with my ftp server(proftpd) i keep getting "500 illegal port command"
[04:31] <sacarlson> jdelanoy: you can also source scripts that setup groups of chages in a session
[04:31] <pfifo> if my ISP disabled ipv4 and enabled ipv6, how would ubuntu react?
[04:32] <Pici> pfifo: It wouldn't really care, it supports both out of the box.
[04:33] <jdelanoy> pfifo: iirc, basically all modern OS support ipv6, just very few ISPs/major hw does
[04:33] <sacarlson> pfifo: it might still work,  I setup a ipv6 only system that ubuntu worked with plug and play,  note I couldn't get windows to plug and play in a ipv6 only net
[04:33] <jdelanoy> sacarlson: thanks :D
[04:33]  * jdelanoy no longer has to type out a 10-directory-deep entry 9001 times daily
[04:33] <_skpl> :)
[04:34] <nikx2> hi all
[04:35] <miketomdool> jdelanoy couldnt you have just made a link? xD
[04:35] <jdelanoy> miketomdool: I'm trying to compile code that's actually saved on my Win7 partition, so I'm using a terminal
[04:36] <b4sh> awk is your friend
[04:36] <jdelanoy> I got tired of forgetting to save my changes back, so that when I'm at school booted into Win7, my prof has to wait for me to reboot -twice- before I can ask him about it
[04:37] <jdelanoy> (Win7, like the bastard it is, refuses to read my ubuntu partition)

[04:37] <iszak> jdelanoy, it's hardly a bastard it's to do with the format and the lack of drivers to read it.
[04:37] <miketomdool> lol windows doesnt read ext partitions xD
[04:37] <iszak> jdelanoy, look into ext2explorer or w/e it is
[04:37] <b4sh> lol windows wont read non native partitions without 3rd part soft
[04:37] <sk237> janyone
[04:38] <ryanryanryan> does this site have its own script
[04:38] <jdelanoy> iszak: it usually isn't an issue, since most of my code is allowed to be compiled with gcc
[04:38] <sk237> tor on ubuntu,
[04:38] <sk237> anyone
[04:38] <jdelanoy> but yeah, I should do somethign about it sometime
[04:38]  * jdelanoy is lazy, so yeah
[04:38] <robert__> but seriously I'm rather excited for this incoming setup

[04:39] <sacarlson> robert__: my guess is that it would work with as little as 8gb ram just maybe not as fast
[04:39] <Vustom> Terminal seems to be stuck on 99% [Waiting for Headers] when typing sudo apt-get update
[04:39] <jdelanoy> sk237: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=tor+ubuntu
[04:39] <jdelanoy> ...
[04:40] <sacarlson> robert__: oh and I forgot it would also depend on what you had running in each of them
[04:40] <sk237> hah thanks for the help, thats what i did in the first place.
[04:40] <b4sh> Vustom is that the first time its happened?
[04:40] <robert__> Music and photo edditing apps for the most part
[04:40] <sacarlson> robert__: so I should say they will boot with 8 gb or a bit less
[04:41] <robert__> I have vbox on my macbook, but the cpu usuage shoots up when ubuntu does anything
[04:41] <Vustom> b4sh: yeah, and its ended now..

[04:42] <robert__> while the cpu seems fast, it'll probably  bog down quite quickly\
[04:42] <b4sh> hex is easier than binary
[04:42] <SanAndreas> hi to all!
[04:42] <Anonnn> hex is easier than binary?
[04:42] <Anonnn> ive never even looked into it
[04:43] <SanAndreas> wath is hex?
[04:43] <cbilljones> base 16 is easier than base 2? lol
[04:43] <jdelanoy> base 16
[04:43] <b4sh> hexadecimal
[04:43] <SanAndreas> ahahah
[04:43] <SanAndreas> ok thanck yo

[04:49] <poutine> err, I know the password
[04:50] <b4sh> poutine you should be asked for the key when you try to mount it ?
[04:50] <poutine> b4sh, I don't even know how to mount it
[04:50] <poutine> I looked at the ecryptfs man page, everything seems to need to be in place like it was originally for me to mount it
[04:51] <b4sh> fdisk -l to see which dev/* it is then sudo mount /dev/* /mountpoimt
[04:52] <b4sh> poutine if you reboot you will be asked for the key during boot which will then mount it

[04:56] <hdon> hi all. i have installed libncurses5-dbg to help with debugging my libncurses5 application. however gdb still cannot tell me simple things like what arguments have been passed to an ncurses function. do i have to inform gdb where to find debugging info?

[05:00] <gpc> !msgthebot
[05:00] <axisys> looking for how to install megaraid storage manager for my x4170
 you learn quick and commands dont seem an issue do yourself a favour forget the gui. You will only experience the power of Linux from a shell
[05:01] <Moroni> holy hannah, there are a lot of sleepers in here
[05:02] <fizy[laptop]> i love using the shell
[05:02] <fizy[laptop]> it makes me feel like a bad*** hacker
[05:02] <Moroni> I love shells too but I can't seem to find one.
[05:02] <fizy[laptop]> which i am. i do know how to hack
[05:02] <nikx2> b4sh I am also connected with the Italian channel but this time everyone is asleep here in Italy. I write bad English, but if you tell me I can understand the problem (no problem to use the terminal and read in English)
[05:02] <fizy[laptop]> and suprise, suprise, it can only be dont from the terminal
[05:03] <fizy[laptop]> done*
[05:03] <b4sh> nikx2 sorry I couldnt understand what you asked
[05:03] <b4sh> nikx2 originally
[05:03] <Moroni> phew!  can someone tell me why ubuntu maverick doesn't seem to see my 200 GB partition (NTFS)??
[05:04] <gpc> axisys: http://www.lsi.com/Search/?terms=Ubuntu&x=0&y=0
[05:04] <b4sh> Mornoni is it mounted check with df
[05:04] <nikx2> b4sh ok, I will try to explain properly
[05:05] <gpc> axisys: http://kb.lsi.com/Search.aspx?Keywords=x4170+megaraid
[05:06] <Moroni> b4sh:  ??  It is mounted as far as I know.  but I can't tell if it is or not because I can't even see it when I'm logged on.  I can see, write, execute, delete on the partiion just find in Windows 7 64 bit
[05:06] <axisys> gpc: nice! let me take a look
[05:06] <b4sh> Moroni put the output of df to pastebin please
[05:06] <gpc> axisys: those two links should get you setup
[05:06] <axisys> gpc: second search did not find anything..
[05:07] <gpc> axisys: http://kb.lsi.com/KnowledgebaseArticle16108.aspx?Keywords=megaraid+ubuntu
[05:07] <gpc> sorry wrong search link first time
[05:07] <axisys> gpc: thnks for those links..
[05:07] <gpc> sure thing
[05:08] <Moroni> b4sh:  I don't mean to sound like I'm totallt new, but I am totally new, so what is 'the output of df pastebin" mean?
[05:08] <b4sh> !pastebin | Moroni
[05:08] <b4sh> !df | Moroni
[05:08] <g_0_0> Moroni, open the terminal - ctrl alt t - and type df in it
[05:09] <Moroni> ok, on sec
[05:11] <Vustom> I just installed http://www.webupd8.org/2010/12/cpu-frequency-scaling-appindicator.html and for some reason the icon is now showing up next to the sound icon
[05:11] <Vustom> but if i hover between the network icon and the sound the menu drops down..
[05:12] <b4sh> Vustom probablt app specific
[05:12] <Vustom> huh?
[05:12] <Moroni> b4sh: I only see /dev/sda1 there along with 4 'none' entries and /dev/sr0
[05:12] <b4sh> *probably
[05:12] <Vustom> its meant to have an icon there tho
[05:12] <b4sh> Moroni ok what does sudo fdisk -l show

[05:12] <RudyValencia> Is there an easy way to back up my server contents to an external drive?
[05:12] <Moroni> one sec
[05:13] <b4sh> !rsync | RudyValencia
[05:13] <RudyValencia> Is making a dd backup good?
[05:13] <RudyValencia> OK
[05:13] <RudyValencia> I don't know if rsync is what I need though
[05:14] <b4sh> if you want to make a backup you want to use rsync
[05:14] <RudyValencia> I don't want to back it up online
[05:14] <b4sh> works locally
[05:15] <RudyValencia> Can it back everything up permissions and all to an external disk?
[05:15] <yuskhanzab> i need a bit help here, can someone help me? its about wine, but in #winehq no ppl
[05:15] <yuskhanzab> sory for my bad enngish
[05:15] <Piranah> Greetings all
[05:15] <b4sh> RudyValencia yes and more check man rsync
[05:16] <Moroni> b4sh:  it shows me /dev/ sda 1, 2 and 5
[05:16] <Moroni> /dev/sda1   *           1       12518   100548608   83  Linux
[05:16] <b4sh> Moroni cool can you put the exact output to pastebin please not sure how you have your partitions setup
[05:16] <g_0_0> Moroni, you can make it easy on yourself by installing storage device manager - in the terminal type - sudo apt-get install pysdm
[05:16] <cryptodira> what would cause evolution to lose track of the password for a pop account?  10.04 on amd/64
[05:17] <g_0_0> Moroni, when installed go to system administration storage device manager
[05:17] <Moroni> great.
[05:17] <g_0_0> Moroni, mount the drive from there
[05:17] <Moroni> gotcha.  thanks
[05:17] <g_0_0> Moroni, you can use the assistant to mount it automatically at boot time
[05:18] <b4sh> where is the fun in doing it that way though might as well use windows :D
[05:19] <g_0_0> b4sh, :) everyone has to start somewhere
[05:19] <b4sh> g_0_0 very true
[05:19] <Vitasoy> Hello I was wondering if anyone was free to answer some questions about crontab for me
[05:19] <b4sh> Vitasoy dont ask to ask but whats your question?
[05:20] <cryptodira> what would cause evolution to lose track of the password for a pop account?  10.04 on amd/64
[05:20] <Vitasoy> b4sh: i can't seem to get my cron jobs to run with the @reboot command or my shell scripts to run is what i mean
[05:20] <Moroni> hey!  I worked with windows my whole carreer.  Now I'm reinventing myself (I think)  (Windows, by by honey, you're getting old and fat) :P
[05:20] <Vitasoy> b4sh: I am on ubuntu 10.10 64bit / I think they are running before it is booted correctly?
[05:20] <b4sh> Vitasoy can you put the relavant cron entries and scripts in pastebin?
[05:21] <Vitasoy> b4sh: sure
[05:23] <Vitasoy> b4sh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/564824/
[05:23] <lithpr> hi!  In the instructions for installing nautilus-elementary, i need to use "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"... if i ran this script after Natty comes out, would my machine try to upgrade itself to 11.04?
[05:23] <b4sh> Vitasoy cool I will take a look
[05:24] <b4sh> Vitasoy where are you putting the shell script?
[05:24] <Vitasoy> b4sh: in ~/shellscripts
[05:24] <Vitasoy> b4sh: I am logged in under ryan
[05:24] <lithpr> okay, i looked it up- it looks safe
[05:25] <nikx2> b4sh I have a karmic netbook remix installed. the operating system does not recognize a usb modem (3G) because of internal memory. (ubuntu open the device as mass storage). I followed a guide, and I have installed and configured the package usb_modeswitch. (I tried with both versions, ubuntu version and updated version of the debian package) package should change the way that it recognizes the device (USB modem instead of mass storage). Now
[05:25] <nikx2> ubuntu will not mount more mass storage devices, but the usb modem is not recognized. using the command lsusb I see the device, product and vendor. I've configured the rules usb_modeswitch, but the network manager does not recognize the usb modem. The modem is manufactured by Huawei, the strange thing: another huawei modem without the mass storage works fine and connects to the Internet without any configuration on the same netbook.
[05:26] <yuskhanzab> anyone there, need help her
[05:26] <yuskhanzab> here*
[05:26] <b4sh> Vitasoy you want them to run at startup yes?
[05:26] <Vitasoy> b4sh: correct
[05:26] <b4sh> Vitasoy use rc.local then
[05:27] <Vitasoy> b4sh: okay, I tried that earlier didn't work for me either. Is there a reason why it doesn't work as a cron job?
[05:27] <Moroni> g_0_0:  I did as you said and it installed correctly, but I still do not see the partition mounted
[05:27] <pancakes> I have a weird question for anyone who's up for a useless challenge
[05:28] <halpbatman> lol
[05:28] <lithpr> i'll take the useless part, someone else can take the challenge part
[05:28] <pancakes> alright... let me give it a try
[05:28] <g_0_0> Moroni, you have to mount it, on the left is a list of partitions, find the partition select it and click mount on the right hand side
[05:28] <pancakes> I'm running the conky system monitor
[05:29] <BaconAndEggs> phew!  it's been a day of miracluous screw ups for me.
[05:29] <b4sh> Vitasoy Im not familiar with the @reboot command although I assume it would need a call to the init reboot script as opposed to shutdown -r which could be the problem
[05:29] <hipitihop> I have a machine which I log into via ssh and I see via mail. Is there a way I can manage these system e-mail using a remote graphical mail client ?
[05:29] <pancakes> it is configured to check if I'm connected on wireless and/or ethernet (this is on a laptop). If a connection is established on either, show some stats about the connection
[05:29] <BaconAndEggs> g_0_0:  let me try it again.
[05:30] <pancakes> show stats ONLY on the devices where connections are active
[05:30] <pancakes> show "Offline" on whatever devices don't have an active connection
[05:30] <pancakes> this has been done
[05:30] <pancakes> now for the weird part:
[05:30] <Vitasoy> b4sh: makes sense, also can shell scripts be ran with sudo commands if the file is owned by root? say "apt-get update -y"
[05:30] <g_0_0> hipitihop, x-forwarding - use the -X param for ssh - ssh -X<EMAIL_ADDRESS>then launch the gui program you want from the terminal
[05:30] <pancakes> I need a proper symbol to denote wireless and ethernet
[05:31] <pancakes> I currently have ethernet="~" and wireless=">"
[05:31] <lithpr> pancakes, that's exactly what i was thinking
[05:31] <b4sh> Vitasoy yes you can put sudo in your scripts and it will prompt you for sudo auth
[05:31] <pancakes> the ethernet symbol /does/ look like a wire, so yay!
[05:31] <lithpr> ~ is so ethernet
[05:31] <pancakes> but the wireless symbol doesn't seem to graphically capture the concept of a wireless connection
[05:31] <Vitasoy> b4sh: but if I don't want them to prompt me, I want it to already have access so I don't have to be at my machine, what should I do?
[05:32] <b4sh> Vitasoy use keys
[05:32] <hipitihop> g_0_0, no idea what graphical mail xfce has by default, but are these things capable of reading local mail ?
[05:32] <pancakes> it's an inconsequential thing, but it's bugging me more than I can handle at this point, so I need to solve this problem before my head explodey
[05:32] <lithpr> pancakes, how about  (c-
[05:32] <pancakes> that's awesome
[05:32] <Vitasoy> b4sh: I'm a little lost, I'm a newbie=x what do you mean by use keys
[05:33] <lithpr> ((-))
[05:33] <g_0_0> hipitihop, if you are using ssh the process is running on the remote machine
[05:33] <b4sh> !kerberos | Vitasoy
[05:34] <pancakes> let me try this... one sec BRB
[05:34] <b4sh> Vitasoy look up kerberos authentication and ssh keys tbh its alot to go into
[05:34] <g_0_0> hipitihop, so if you want to read mail on the remote machine do what I suggested above
[05:34] <Vitasoy> b4sh: sounds good thanks for your help
[05:35] <b4sh> np
[05:35] <Abinidai> b4sh, I've tried three times.  Still no joy.  could it be because I'm executing it inside a VirtualBox?  I haven't logged out and back in to my other (physical) machine and tried it
[05:36] <b4sh> Abinidai sorry what? Think you messaged the wrong perso
[05:36] <pancakes> I like (c- better for it's low character count
[05:36] <pancakes> but I'm going with (( - )) for it's symmetry
[05:37] <pancakes> thank you, @lithpr
[05:37] <Abinidai> oh yea.  just beat me like a step child.  I'm getting punch drunk after 18 hours on the keyboard
[05:37] <lithpr> i have 'useless' on lock
[05:37] <lithpr> i knew i could help
[05:37] <pancakes> hahaha
[05:37] <pancakes> and you did
[05:37] <pancakes> adios folks!!
[05:37] <b4sh> Abinidai chill just dont know what your on about
[05:38] <hipitihop> g_0_0, yes sorry badly worded, ment remote...i.e remote machine has xfce so no idea what the default grpahic mail client is and do mail clients generally know how to read system mail ? e.g. could I test it on my own laptop ?, running gnome + evolution would be able to manage system mail on laptop ?
[05:38] <Abinidai> b4sh:  I was using the device manager app to try and mount an NTFS partion on the physical drive.  I can't seem to get the job done.
[05:39] <g_0_0> hipitihop, I don't know what mail app is running on the remote machine but if you could run it if you were sitting at the remote machine you should be ok
[05:40] <deris> hai
[05:40] <b4sh> Abindai ok I cant help you with gui but open a terminal and type fdisk -l that will show all the devices conneted
[05:41] <Abinidai> well Im off folks.  Have a nice night and thanks for the help.  Ciao
[05:41] <g_0_0> hipitihop, appears to be xfmail - so log in to remote machine as described above and type - xfmail &  - see what happens
[05:41] <Vustom> I've installed a little icon next to the sound icon but it doesn't start up when the comp starts, you gota alt +  f2 and type indicator-cpufreq in there
[05:41] <bc81> any way to get chrome to open this link http://www.kpfa.org/streams/kpfa_24k.m3u ? Missing plugin error
[05:42] <Vustom> is there a way to use Start Applications on Ubuntu to make it so it starts up
[05:42] <b4sh> hipitihop what are you trying to achieve?
[05:43] <g_0_0> b4sh,  he want a gui mail client on a remote machine using ssh
[05:43] <latenal> hello, my bluetooth doesn't work anymore. I can't start the daemon and i gotta fix it in a hour.
[05:43] <Jon--> Easy question : How do I echo $term?
[05:43] <b4sh> g_0_0 to do what though?
[05:43] <lithpr> echo $TERM
[05:43] <g_0_0> b4sh, read mail on the remote machine I think
[05:44] <hipitihop> g_0_0, will give it a shot thanks
[05:44] <b4sh> thats simple then just have a mail client retrieve mail from the server or am I missing something?
[05:44] <hipitihop> b4sh, trying to read system mail on a remote machine (same network), remote machine has xfce (mythbuntu setup)
[05:45] <g_0_0> b4sh,  not sure he seemed to want a gui client on the remote machine
[05:45] <Jon--> Okay.. how do I set TERM permanently then? I want to use "xterm-256color" for a 256 color VIM color-scheme.
[05:45] <b4sh> hipitihop set up a mail server on the remote machine and connect via pop
[05:46] <hipitihop> b4sh, better still, how do I get the remote machine to just send all system mail to say may gmail account ?
[05:46] <lithpr> Jon--, http://www.kb.indiana.edu/data/acpy.html
[05:46] <b4sh> hipitihop without a mail server you dont
[05:47] <hipitihop> b4sh, can't use gmail itself ?
[05:47] <b4sh> hipitihop you probably can but you will need a dns server instead of a mail server
[05:48] <inashdeen> hi, i need some advice, i am havin windows 7, ubuntu 10.10 ( mint linux 10, to be exact) and pardus 2009 in my system, all in separate partitions ( but ubuntu and pardus shares the same logical though). when i install pardus 2009 last time, after a mint linux installation, i didnt recognise ubuntu. i added it manually somehow, and it stuck with me getting into pardus grub, then into ubuntu grub. i reinstalled mint linux grub, and it
[05:48] <usr13> b4sh: You can tell gmail to check other pop or imap accounts
[05:48] <Jon--> lithpr: I'd like 256 colour support. How do I get this? I know that it's supported, I saw a post on Ubuntu forums saying do this: export TERM="xterm-256color"  but this does not seem to work any more.
[05:48] <b4sh> usr13 yeah but they need to be served by a server duh
[05:48] <usr13> b4sh: and just create filters for the various accounts / threads etc.
[05:48] <g_0_0> b4sh, how do you do that with with a dns server and no mail server?
[05:49] <inashdeen> con, i planto replace pardus with fedora kde 14. what is the SAFEST functional way to do that?
[05:49] <rww> inashdeen: "Mint Linux 10" is not Ubuntu. Try asking in their channel.
[05:49] <rww> !mintsupport
[05:49] <jeffwheeler> How does gdm decide what users to list? There's a system user (CouchDB Administrator) that is showing up for some reason, and I'm trying to figure out why it's showing up.
[05:50] <lithpr> Mint is the enemy- diaf ;)
[05:50] <b4sh> g-0-0 not sure what he wants to do but if he has a mail server and a google account he can set his mx to google and let his mail server control it but that will need dns config
[05:50] <rww> lithpr: Not particularly. It's just not supported.
[05:50] <inashdeen> rww:what is their channel? btw, it is of similar architecture,right? i aways seem to be in the ubuntu spirit.huhuh
[05:50] <jeffwheeler> I found some site that mentioned user id >1000, but this doesn't seem to be the case. It's ID is <1000.
[05:50] <rww> inashdeen: #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org, as ubottu said
[05:50] <Jon--> lithpr: Do you not know how to do this then?
[05:50] <usr13> jeffwheeler: probably because an account has been created under that name.
[05:51] <joc> Anyone know if gedit has a setting for NOT pasting at EOL when using mouse paste?
[05:51] <b4sh> g_0_0 i.e hotmail > dns server > googlemail
[05:51] <rww> inashdeen: Mint is a derivative of Ubuntu, just like Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian. Each layer makes changes that the upstream doesn't know about, so they have their own channels. (#debian doesn't support Ubuntu, for example)
[05:51] <lithpr> i'm playing with it... Jon-- how could one tell if one had a 256 color term?
[05:51] <g_0_0> b4sh ok thanks
[05:51] <jeffwheeler> usr13: It seems pretty safe to say a user was created with that name, presumably by a couchdb-related package. But it shouldn't be showing up in gdm. Not sure what is misconfigured that is causing it to be.
[05:51] <Jon--> lithpr: I can tell because my vim colorscheme requires it and looks like crap without it.. ;)
[05:52] <latenal> hello, I need some help. I have a built-in blueotooth device. Few days ago it start to have trouble to connect to my handsfree but was ok with my cellphone. I tried to install/uninstall blueman and bluez and after few manipulations the daemon stopped working and I can't start it any more
[05:53] <lithpr> hmmm... well, after i did exactly what you said, i have some obnoxious syntax highlighting in nano
[05:53] <b4sh> latenal look in /var/log/messages and /var/logdmesg for anything relevant
[05:53] <b4sh> latenal look in /var/log/messages and /var/log/dmesg for anything relevant*
[05:54] <lithpr> and exporting back to xterm doesn't seem to help
[05:54] <lithpr> so, i am no help
[05:54] <lithpr> except the echo $TERM part :)
[05:54] <inashdeen2> rww: nobody seems to exist there though, except me an another guy name bozonius
[05:55] <rww> inashdeen2: note the "on irc.spotchat.org" part of my sentence
[05:55] <lithpr> Jon--, do you get pretty colors when you "ls -la"?
[05:55] <inashdeen2> rww: i dont understand, i am quite slow in computing, u know. non programmer
[05:56] <rww> inashdeen2: You're currently on the 'freenode' IRC network. Linux Mint, for some unfathomable reason, decided not to use freenode. They use spotchat instead.
[05:56] <Jon--> lithpr: It should really only affect vim colour schemes. The assumption for most other things is that you aren't using 256-colors.
[05:57] <lithpr> find /lib/terminfo /usr/share/terminfo -name "*256*"
[05:57] <lithpr> http://push.cx/2008/256-color-xterms-in-ubuntu
[05:58] <inashdeen2> rww: may i know where to get spotchat, i mean, its exact website?
[05:58] <lithpr> oic - Jon-- , yeah, when i do that "tput colors" i get 8
[05:58] <latenal> b4sh nothing interesting in those files
[05:59] <lithpr> export TERM="xterm-256color"
[05:59] <seidos> hello your honors.  looking for ideas on why i can't get php5 working on ubuntu 10.04 alternate install
[05:59] <lithpr> tput colors
[05:59] <lithpr> 256
[05:59] <Jon--> lithpr: Yep, got it, like I said issue was I was doing export $TERM  the $ is not needed.
[06:00] <b4sh> latenal whats the sercive name? and what does service name restart echo?
[06:00] <lithpr> yeah, that would set the value to a value, not really helpful :)
[06:00] <bullgard4> Lucid: How can I arrange the symbols on the GNOME desktop automatically in a grid (matrix) so that they will not overlap (similar to  Windows XP)?
[06:01] <gpc> bullgard4: right click desktop and click Keep Aligned
[06:01] <Anonnn> http://hubpages.com/hub/Speed-Up-Internet-with-Google-Public-DNS
[06:01] <Anonnn> sorry
[06:02] <b4sh> Anonnn why let google see anything else that you do
[06:02] <bullgard4> gpc: No sir. I have asserted this context menu item. Still my desktop does not arrange items in a grid.
[06:02] <rww> inashdeen2: go to http://community.linuxmint.com/ . On the Community menu at the top, click "Chat room". That should get you to #linuxmint-chat on the right server. From there, there should be a link to #linuxmint-help you can use.
[06:02] <inashdeen2> rww: seriously, i dont know where to get to spotchat. everythinhg is in german,which i dont understand, an dit looks fuzzy
[06:02] <latenal> b4sh  `/etc/init.d/bluetooth restart` says nothing. But when check the status, it says that bluetooth is not running
[06:02] <rww> inashdeen2: I know, it took me a while to figure out too. Hence the delay in replying ;)
[06:03] <Anonnn> b4sh: they can see what i do D:
[06:03] <halpbatman> do you guys know if there's ubuntu irc channel about the netbook version?
[06:03] <rww> halpbatman: no
[06:03] <gpc> bullgard4: I don't know how else to do it, sorry
[06:03] <b4sh> latenal tail the messages log now
[06:03] <rww> halpbatman: rather, I do know. there isn't.
[06:03] <bullgard4> gpc: Thank you.
[06:03] <lithpr> b4sh, because time warner dns gets f*ing poisoned all the time
[06:03] <b4sh> google spying on everything
[06:03] <halpbatman> rww: lol thx for clarification
[06:04] <b4sh> thats where tunneling comes in handy
[06:04] <halpbatman> but honestly what's google really gonna do with spying
[06:04] <Guest9365> rule the universe
[06:04] <halpbatman> i doubt they're gonna risk their rep selling usr info to third party
[06:04] <b4sh> lithpr whats stopping you having your own dns server?
[06:04] <halpbatman> like facebook
[06:05] <lithpr> b4sh, effort?
[06:05] <gpc> !ot
[06:05] <lithpr> sorry
[06:05] <KirkMcDonald> b4sh: I feel compelled to point out that Google's DNS has an entirely separate privacy policy from the rest of their services: http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/privacy.html
[06:06] <phan> test
[06:06] <g_0_0> mmm donttrack.us
[06:06] <b4sh> halpbatman google are getting into everythin at the moment and everything is including logging stuff
[06:06] <latenal> b4sh, all clear
[06:07] <rww> Your thoughts on Google are offtopic for #ubuntu.   I have been going to different sites and nothing is working.  I am clueless.  lol
[06:08] <halpbatman> can anyone help me? i wanna make the menubar on the top autohide
[06:08] <b4sh> latenal sorry forgot your issue what is it again?
[06:08] <Guest20412> I have XP on main drive and Ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 on a second drive.
[06:08] <g_0_0> !grub | Guest20412
[06:08] <latenal> b4sh  i can't start bluetooth
[06:08] <Guest20412> Right click on the taskbar and select autohide
[06:08] <sexcopter> hi, just installed 10.10 on an old laptop (thinkpad r51, ati 9000 graphics), and hooked up s-video to the TV. It works fine, but want to switch OFF the laptop LCD. When I do this, display on the TV goes scrambled and haywire. Any ideas? In previous generations, I would try different drivers in xorg.conf (e.g. vesa), but how do you do that nowadays?
[06:08] <Guest20412> Choose properties sorry
[06:08] <rww> inashdeen2: If it's currently like the last time I visited, then you're not the only one. It's just a slow channel. Either way, I don't know their policies on support in -chat; you'd have to ask them.
[06:08] <Guest20412> I have Grub2
[06:09] <Guest20412> But cannot find a way to restore it and I have been to loads of sites trying what they suggest without success.
[06:09] <g_0_0> !grub2 | Guest20412
[06:09] <cbilljones> is there a way to drop elevated privileges?
[06:09] <Arkalore> I have 2 partitions, Ubuntu and NTFS. If I use gparted to make the NTFS 10GB bigger, will i lose data?
[06:09] <c4pt> hello
[06:09] <b4sh> latenal I will leave it to someone more hard ware oriantated if its not logging an error I wont be much help
[06:10] <Guest20412> I've been to that ubuntu site and nothing works any other ideas?
[06:10] <c4pt> i have a debian related question but i think it they are interrelated so ill ask here.
[06:10] <cbilljones> arkalore how much freespace on ext4?
[06:10] <kf7nnz> Why doesn't Evolution send mail immediately? I have to manually press the Send/Receive button before it will send.
[06:10] <Arkalore> cbilljones: oh, 70GB
[06:10] <cbilljones> arkalore you should be fine, of course always back up to be safe hehe
[06:10] <inashdeen2> rww: thanks a lot then. u had help me a lot! :-) btw can anyone answer my question, just imagine i use ubuntu 10.10 then.
[06:10] <Guest20412> Is there a way to re-install ubuntu/grub2 without destroying already installed software?
[06:10] <Arkalore> ok
[06:10] <Arkalore> ty
[06:11] <c4pt> i am having problems with process id 11 (idle) it seems that it is taking up close to 800-1000% of the cpu usage and upowerd was taking up 99% i did a kill -9 on upowerd's pid but when i kill idle it respawns right away
[06:11] <inashdeen2> hi, i need some advice, i am havin windows 7, ubuntu 10.10 ( mint linux 10, to be exact) and pardus 2009 in my system, all in separate partitions ( but ubuntu and pardus shares the same logical though). when i install pardus 2009 last time, after a mint linux installation, i didnt recognise ubuntu. i added it manually somehow, and it stuck with me getting into pardus grub, then into ubuntu grub. i reinstalled mint linux grub, and it
[06:11] <b4sh> cbilljones elevated privs in waht way?
[06:11] <c4pt> is there a way to stop idle from respawning or a way to throtle it down?
[06:11] <inashdeen2> i plan to replace pardus with fedora kde 14. what is the SAFEST functional way to do that?
[06:11] <cbilljones> arkalore do from livecd
[06:11] <Arkalore> cbilljones: of course
[06:11] <rww> inashdeen2: You're welcome. Mint is actually offtopic for this channel, though, so no, we can't help you here.
[06:11] <cbilljones> b4sh like after i enter sudo i get sudo priv for a bit, i want to drop that priv
[06:12] <rww> inashdeen2: If you want help in #ubuntu, you have to actually be using Ubuntu ;P
[06:12] <b4sh> cbilljones logout
[06:12] <explodes_> Whats the difference between "NETBOOK" and "DESKTOP" edition?
[06:12] <cbilljones> b4sh ok, no way to do while logged in?
[06:12] <juk> hi, many i find downloaded torrent to be splitted into password protected rar archives is there any way to play it ubuntu?
[06:12] <latenal> b4sh anyway, thanks for your help. i'll reinstall ubuntu then.. i guess it's going to be faster)
[06:12] <rww> explodes_: Ubuntu Netbook Edition has a different user interface and installs some different programs by default
[06:12] <rww> explodes_: underneath, it's the same thing
[06:13] <amit> what is difference between a,i and o  command in vim editor?
[06:13] <rww> ubottu: tell juk about rar
[06:13] <c4pt> nevermind i guess it was a dumb question
[06:13] <c4pt> disabling upowerd by itself seemed to fix the problem
[06:13] <explodes_> rww: right. desktop would be more complete, i imagine? and is still suitable on a laptop
[06:13] <b4sh> cbilljones that shoulkdnt log you out although Im not that familiar with sudo Im more used to su
[06:13] <inashdeen2> rww: i believe it is a grub issue only, because, mint and ubuntu using grub2, ok, just imagine  i am using ubuntu 10.10 then,better something than nothing. i want to pun the fedora kde side by side to my linux and windows 7 harmonily.
[06:13] <rww> inashdeen2: No. You're using Mint, go ask Mint.
[06:14] <cbilljones> b4sh: o, you mean logout from terminal?
[06:14] <g_0_0> juk, can't help with password but try opening it with 7zip
[06:14] <rww> explodes_: I personally prefer Desktop on my netbook.
[06:15] <b4sh> cbilljones yes unless that user was the one who opened the shell it should term super user
[06:15] <kf7nnz> No one can help me with my Evolution question?
[06:15] <juk> g_0_0: i'll try, thanks
[06:15] <Arkalore> kf7nnz: what's that?
[06:16] <kf7nnz> I want to know why Evolution doesn't send mail immediately. I have to manually press the send/receive button.
[06:16] <cbilljones> b4sh its the same user(me) im testing some scripts, and i just want it to prompt me for my pass, but once i do it once, i have sudo rights for 10 mins or something
[06:16] <Nisstyre> cbilljones, just use nopasswd
[06:17] <cbilljones> misstyre: i want to be prompted
[06:17] <b4sh> cbilljones logout would work with su but not sure about sudo
[06:17] <joc> kf7nnz: might want to check the account preferences...
[06:17] <cbilljones> b4sh not working with sudo
[06:17] <cbilljones> guess i should just use su lol
[06:17] <kf7nnz> joc: I looked through all of the options and doen't see one for send immediately. Unless I'm missing it?
[06:18] <Nisstyre> cbilljones, no
[06:18] <Nisstyre> sudo -s
[06:18] <cbilljones> isnt it sudo su? or same thing?
[06:18] <b4sh> cbilljones theres probably a better way but if you terminate the terminal that will drop privs
[06:18] <Nisstyre> yeah except sudo su isn't the way you're supposed to (technically) do it
[06:19] <avleen> hey guys, i just installed 10.04, and was expecting the "add-apt-repository" command to be available in the base system but it's not. does it require an extra package?
[06:19] <joc> kf7nnz: Did you see the "receiving options" tab?
[06:19] <b4sh> Nisstyre I was refering to su in a non sudo envirement
[06:19] <cbilljones> b4sh the problem is im launching from the file, so im getting graphical authentication(testing for my bro who is scared of terminal)
[06:20] <linusasus6> Hi I have update debian and now the ubuntu disapear from the grub
[06:20] <Eryn_1983_FL> hey peeps is there a way to share the wifi i am connected to with another laptop near me  like  network sharing?
[06:20] <rww> !find add-apt-repository
[06:20] <kf7nnz> joc: I don't see that tab. Where would I find it?
[06:20] <rww> avleen: Did you install Ubuntu Server, perchance?
[06:20] <avleen> rww: i did!
[06:20] <avleen> a ha
[06:20] <cbilljones> b4sh its no big deal, i was just curious
[06:20] <avleen> thanks guys :)
[06:21] <Gnea> !netboot
[06:21] <rww> avleen: I don't think it installs python-software-properties by default. So there you go :)
[06:21] <Nisstyre> b4sh, he can do sudo -s then when he's done pkill bash
[06:21] <Nisstyre> or su
[06:21] <cbilljones> nisstyre but im using graphical sudo, and not in a shell :|
[06:21] <Nisstyre> oh
[06:21] <Nisstyre> well...
[06:21] <b4sh> Nisstyre Ive come from slackware to many distros sudo is not global
[06:21] <linusasus6> how to restore ubuntu in grub please
[06:21] <Nisstyre> then I have no idea
[06:21] <Nisstyre> b4sh, I'm well aware
[06:22] <cbilljones> im just going to test from shell, easy fix
[06:22] <kf7nnz> cbilljones: try sudo passwd. Now you can enter a password for the su account. Then, you can use su, enter the password, and when finshed, exit to return to your regular user account.
[06:22] <Nisstyre> I use Arch which doesn't include sudo by default either
[06:22] <joc> kf7nnz: edit->prefs->"edit your account"->"2nd tab"
[06:22] <g_0_0> !grub | linusasus6
[06:23] <linuxson> Having problems with booting up and logging into user  accounts via iTalc. Wakeonlan has been enabled in all  networked pcs, and can boot them up using etherwake. Any help?
[06:23] <kf7nnz> joc: OK, I found it, what is it I should be checking on that tab?
[06:23] <b4sh> cbilljones I could advise on a "linux" way to fix your prob but Ive been kicked a few times as its not the ubuntu way
[06:23] <linusasus6> my grub is there just ubuntu disapear from the grub
[06:24] <joc> kf7nnz: check for message every x minutes ? :-/
[06:24] <cbilljones> b4sh you could pm me if you like
[06:24] <User77> type @echo please whatever in ##belz somethin special happens :D
[06:24] <linusasus6> is not a ubuntu grub is a debian grub
[06:24] <BakedBeanz1111> tweaked out
[06:25] <kf7nnz> joc: It is set to check every 5 minutes.
[06:25] <Anonnn> guys i know this is rly offtopic, but if im just randomly breathing out smoke is that a bad thing x_X
[06:25] <djjonex> jello everybody i need to use php mail with localhost
[06:25] <Anonnn> i havent had a cig in about 2 hours
[06:26] <kf7nnz> joc: But I have had it keep messages until the next day when I notice they still have not sent. then I have to manually send/receive.
[06:26] <evilvish> !offtopic | Anonnn
[06:26] <seidos> what's your goal?
[06:26] <Anonnn> ohwell
[06:26] <linuxson> Having problems with booting up and logging into user  accounts via iTalc. Wakeonlan has been enabled in all  networked pcs, and can boot them up using etherwake. Any help?
[06:27] <Anonnn> linuxson: how is it connected to the internet?
[06:27] <Anonnn> i mean the boot "server"
[06:27] <evilvish> linusasus6: what do you mean by debian grub?
[06:27] <djjonex> php mail function  doesnt work with localhost
[06:27] <linuxson> Anonnn: Not connected to the internet...on a local network
[06:27] <joc> kf7nnz: Does it prompt your for your password when you send/recieve?
[06:28] <Anonnn> linuxson: thats what i meant :D
[06:28] <kf7nnz> joc: no, and receiving happens automatically.
[06:28] <linusasus6> evilvish Im on debian at the moment because ubuntu disapear from the grub menu
[06:28] <Anonnn> do you have the main computer set up right?
[06:28] <Anonnn> to allow booting off it
[06:28] <Vitasoy> On accident I removed the notification thingy on the notification area of the gnome panel. (the one to check chat messages / email) How do I bring it back?
[06:29] <linuxson> Anonnn: Basically just 21 computers connected to three switches, with one being the "server"
[06:29] <b4sh> php mail function does work with localhost providing the mail server accepts it
[06:29] <linuxson> Anonnn: iTalc is able to switch all 20 networked pcs off, but not back on again
[06:29] <rusty149> Vitasoy: Right-click panel > Add to panel > Notification Area
[06:29] <Anonnn> linuxson: hmm, remote start...
[06:30] <Vitasoy> rusty149: i tried that and it won't let me add it, the Add button does not do anything
[06:30] <Vitasoy> rusty149: the icon also has a blue "!" on it
[06:30] <Anonnn> thats in the 20 pc's bios somewhere, "wake on - mouse click" iunno
[06:30] <evilvish> linusasus6: if you want to restore grub, the link provided earlier should help you..(shouldnt matter much)   .. but if you are using debian as the main OS and that is what adds the grub lines, you should ask in debian support channels..
[06:30] <linuxson> Anonnn: I have given wakeonlan a try, but for some or other reason it gives me an error when trying to run a file
[06:30] <rusty149> Vitasoy: killall gnome-panel
[06:30] <linuxson> Anonnn: And it looks like etherwake doesnt handle batches
[06:30] <Anonnn> linuxson: what kind of error?
[06:31] <Vitasoy> rusty149: it restarts the gnome-panel but doesn't bring the email icon thingy back
[06:31] <linuxson> Anonnn: No such file or directory at /usr/bin/wakeonlan line 138
[06:31] <rusty149> Vitasoy: Which icon has an !
[06:31] <linusasus6> ok thank evilvish what are the debian support channel list
[06:31] <Anonnn> did u spell wakeonlan right?
[06:31]  * evilvish not sure about that..
[06:32] <Vitasoy> rusty149: notification area - i think it means it's already active but i just don't have that messager thing
[06:32] <linuxson> Anonnn: Checked out that line in that file, and changed the two fieldnames to the filename in question, but still no luck
[06:32] <Anonnn> might be WakeonLan or WakeOnLan or something
[06:32] <joc> kf7nnz: Weird. So, it will never send automatically w/o first clicking snd/rec?
[06:32] <linusasus6> !debian-fr channel
[06:32] <daniel> how do i overlock with ubuntu10.10?
[06:33] <Anonnn> daniel: hmm, never thought about it bud id like to know that too.
[06:33] <linusasus6> !debian channel
[06:33] <linuxson> Anonnn: And that was me trying to use the default conf file that comes with wakeonlan!! lol
[06:33] <ubuntuliveuser> I cannot get Grub2 to work any ideas and please stop sending me to the Ubuntu grub site it is useless.
[06:33] <Xbios> daniel: in bios?
