[12:56] <LjL> Dr_Willis: i think it's reasonably to assure someone who intends to use random data to erase a drive wants to do it securely
[12:56] <Crumbles> what should I set the BS to ?
[12:56] <Dr_Willis> Crumbles:  most dd examples use 1024 or  similer.
[12:56] <LjL> Crumbles: but seriously, if you want it to be secure, consider "wipe".
[12:57] <aftertaf> hi : i shotdown my PC yesterday and today it 'died' on me . . . . i can't even access GRUB on startup. Can anyone help me diagnose and repair? Booted to a live USB key right now
[12:57] <Crumbles> well
[12:57] <Crumbles> my question is
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> Crumbles:  yes.. what LjL  said..
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> Crumbles:  ive only used dd in the past to 'zero' a drive that was badly messed up
[12:57] <Crumbles> I am running DD now, and I don't see anything on the drive when I browse it. although I know it's working because fdisk says the partition is screwed now.
[12:57] <Crumbles> what is wipe?
[12:57] <xpo0f> Drunkpunk1, are u sure
[12:57] <LjL> !info wipe | Crumbles
[12:57] <sattam> hi , where is karmic changelog ?
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> Crumbles:  'secure disk eraseing'
[12:57] <LjL> !info shred > Crumbles
[12:57] <demonave666> hi all
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> Crumbles:  why are you even bothering to do all this?
[12:58] <Pici> shred is in coreutils, its not a separate package.
[12:58] <Meowpup> oh i gtg my woman is calling from the bedroom i need to go :) :o)
[12:58] <Crumbles> because I have a hard drive that I want to have all the data securly deleted before I toss it.
[12:58] <yml> what is the difference between "gnome failsafe" and "gnome" I can login using the first one but not using the second one
[12:58] <maggott> Meowpup: you lucky bastard.
[12:58] <grawity> Crumbles: Get a hammer or something
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> Crumbles:  use a hammer to it.. :)
[12:58] <aftertaf> i get I/O error when running parted etc, and HDD nort even seen in my system, only in BIOS
[12:58] <Crumbles> lol
[12:58] <Crumbles> that will be my next step :)
[12:58] <Drunkpunk1> xpo0F: 'fraid so
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> Crumbles:  or just keep it for a spare. put it in a usb enclosure
[12:58] <simplexio> aftertaf: hd died ?
[12:58] <Meowpup> na my woman is what i call my mum lol
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> Crumbles:  or take it apart - the magnets in hard drives - make GREAT magnets for the fridge. those things hold like 100 papers
[12:59] <Crumbles> yea, it has a ton of VoIP stuff on it that is still valid information.  this used to be my asterisk computers hard drive.
[12:59] <yml> the difference seems to includes the graphic driver (nvidia)
[12:59] <Meowpup> get that maggott ^
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> Crumbles:  so use whipe or shred.
[12:59] <LjL> Dr_Willis: and are also a bit dangerous to handle for that reason :P
[12:59] <Crumbles> LjL: if I use bs=1024 would that still be a secure wipe?
[12:59] <aftertaf> simplexio: looks that way, just like that, the bstd worked fine yesterday. I booted this morning and gnome just froze 'TM'
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> LjL:  :) yep.
[12:59] <Crumbles> whipe or wipe ?
[12:59] <Drunkpunk1> xpo0f: heres what it says in terminal E: Couldn't find package xcommon-xorg
[12:59] <Drunkpunk1> munch@munch-desktop:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:59] <Drunkpunk1> munch@munch-desktop:~$
[12:59] <aftertaf> simplexio: any recovery hopes?
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> Crumbles:  if you want secure = use  the tools mentioned. not dd
[12:59] <Crumbles> ok
[12:59] <LjL> Crumbles: i don't think bs influences the security of the wipe. the fact you're using a tool not made for the job probably does, on the other hand.
[12:59] <Crumbles> is wipe faster than dd?
[13:00] <Younder> boscop, This would be the point where I warn about running drives above about 80% capacity
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> Crumbles:  does it matter? :)
[13:00] <Crumbles> yea, good point
[13:00] <grawity> Crumbles: Secure wipe is _never_ faster
[13:00] <Crumbles> ok, let me get wipe.
[13:00] <Crumbles> lol, true.
[13:00] <simplexio> aftertaf: maybe.. if bios sees it, its electronic component are ok, but if you cant really access to it then it sound like it dosent spind or read head just dont want to work
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> if you want fast - get a hammer
[13:00] <maggott> Dr_Willis: a good electromagnet usually does the trick. Those at scrap yards work fine. ;-)
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> Hard drive platters look great on the Xmas tree!
[13:00] <Crumbles> sudo apt-get install wipe -- right?
[13:00] <LjL> right.
[13:00] <xpo0f> :)
[13:00] <boscop> Younder: but I have not much disk space
[13:01] <LjL> Crumbles: then "man wipe" and if you feel like reading more "man shred"
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> maggott:  we got demaganitizing  things at work :)  they will destroy your wrist watch
[13:01] <maggott> Dr_Willis: why haven't I thought of that before? Dammit, why did I throw away all my old disks.
[13:01] <aftertaf> simplexio: so, a quick slapping might help? When i activate SMART in BIOS, i dont even get to the BIOS boot menu . . . .
[13:01] <Crumbles> sorry for asking so many questions, I'm really new to linux... hence me using DD apparently totally wrong... :)
[13:01] <xpo0f> apt-cache search wire for sure
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> maggott:  the wife has several hanging in her room/window for rainbow mirrors :)
[13:01] <LjL> Crumbles: it's not wrong, it's just sub-optimal.
[13:01] <Crumbles> does wipe have a gui ?
[13:02] <Younder> boscop, well you have two options, get a larger drive or putting up with the slownes
[13:02] <LjL> Crumbles: no, wipe and shred are CLI tools.
[13:02] <aftertaf> any way of trying to recover it? or is it screwed FUBAR style ?
[13:02] <Crumbles> which do you like better LjL ?
[13:02] <maggott> Crumbles: read the man pages for wipe (man wipe). They are pretty conclusive. Ask again if there's anything that's unclear.
[13:02] <boscop> Younder: it's a laptop
[13:03] <boscop> Younder: why does it slow booting down so much to have above 80% full?
[13:03] <xpo0f> boscop, im not sure about that
[13:04] <LjL> Crumbles: "wipe" is more flexible i guess, but i think they more or less do the job equally well.
[13:04] <unixhag> I have nothing at /usr/bin/java. It seems that ubuntu (karmic) no longer comes with a JRE pre-installed. Is that correct?
[13:04] <Crumbles> wait, it looks like wipe pulls from urandom as well...
[13:04] <unixhag> because according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java it should be there
[13:04] <Crumbles> isn't this the same as dd?
[13:04] <Younder> boscop, well if have framentation sectors are scattered all over the disk. Normally it would fix this itself, but it needs a certain amount of free disk space to 'remembers' sectors it moves around. If it get's too full it just gives up.
[13:05] <grawity> Crumbles: I think 'wipe' is for wiping separate files
[13:05] <bigmack83_> i have multiple iso dvd's i want to extract the chapters from. i want to take all the episodes in each dvd and  extract them each to their own .wmv video. the reason for this is so i can connect my hard drive to various devices such as an xbox 360 or some dvd players to watch the movies. so what would be the best way to extract the episodes to wmv files like this?
[13:05] <Crumbles> great... that doesnt help me then
[13:05] <simplexio> boscop: and usually its bad idea to run / systems that full, or /home full. gnome etc.. use tmp files which need to be there
[13:06] <gar4eto3> i hate all
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> http://wipe.sourceforge.net/  neat info on wipe.
[13:06] <gar4eto3> fuck you
[13:06] <xpo0f> gar4eto3, why ?
[13:06] <Monocian> ...
[13:06] <Meowpup> check this out it is great to know for irc, chat, txt even emailing http://www.net-comber.com/acronyms.html
[13:06] <LjL> !language | gar4eto3
[13:07] <Younder> boscop, basically each time you need to move the head ms are lost. and they add up.
[13:07] <gar4eto3> you speek greece
[13:07] <gar4eto3> ?
[13:07] <unixhag> gar4eto3: thanks for the offer, but you're too far away to be any use to me ;-)
[13:07] <LjL> !gr | gar4eto3
[13:07] <ahtmly2k> how do i see all the usb devices connected on my pc? (what's the command?)
[13:07] <Meowpup> check this out it is great to know for irc, chat, txt even emailing http://www.net-comber.com/acronyms.html
[13:07] <Dr_Willis> ahtmly2k:  lspci is one way
[13:07] <moataz> where is my computer in xfce session
[13:07] <moataz> ?
[13:07] <maggott> gar4eto3: do that and you'll never want to go back to your mother.
[13:08] <LjL> maggott: ?
[13:08] <boscop> Younder: can I compress data that I don't need everyday automatically?
[13:08] <Veinor> What's the difference between Desktop and Server?
[13:08] <moataz> guys
[13:08] <unixhag> Can anyone confirm whether https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java is wrong and ubuntu comes without java?
[13:08] <moataz> where is my computer in xfce session
[13:08] <maggott> LjL: just a wise-ass remark to people yelling f* you.
[13:08] <moataz> ?
[13:09] <moataz> ?
[13:09] <moataz> ?
[13:09] <FloodBot1> moataz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:09] <rednammoc> hi guys. i have a strange problem setting up virtualbox. when i start "etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" it tells me that it cannot find kernel-source "2.6.24-25". i also installed "linux source" cause i thought that will solve the problem. has anybody an idea whats going on or how to solve this problem ?
[13:09] <syro> somebody from sweden?
[13:09] <maggott> syro: yes.
[13:09] <Lint01> moataz: usually on the desktop
[13:09] <ganymede> hey, if i am writing a daemon, how should i get that daemon to write its pid file in /var/run without running that process as root? only root has write access to /var/run
[13:10] <JonathanEllis> Im just about to start developing a website. I have a little html and css experience but it was all a long time ago. I need to decide on a web development environment. At the moment I am considering SeaMonkey and QuantaPlus. Ideally I want to use a wysiwyg editor but I am not afraid to get under the hood and edit the code directly when necessary. What are your recommendations and why? Thanks for your time.
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> unixhag:  ive always installed the sun java here.
[13:10] <maggott> ganymede: let the client run as a user that has write acces in /var/run.
[13:10] <ahtmly2k> Dr_Willis : yeah but i need to know its address.. /dev/somthing
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> ahtmly2k:  check dmesdg output when you plug it in
[13:10] <aftertaf> simplexio: running testdisk, finds no partitions :(
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> ahtmly2k:  'dmesg' i mean
[13:10] <maggott> JonathanEllis: GNU Emacs.
[13:11] <Crumbles> so -- I am wanting to wipe out everything under sdc... sdc1 sdc2, etc. so, is this command correct:  wipe -fr -l 1024k /dev/sdc
[13:11] <JonathanEllis> maggott: Thanks. What are the benefits of that?
[13:11] <unixhag> Dr_Willis: Thanks much for the recommendation. It's a bit of a catch for new ubuntu users/admins, being mis-documented like that.
[13:11] <ganymede> maggott, meaning create a folder for the daemon and make a designated user for the daemon?
[13:12] <ganymede> maggott, like create a folder in /var/run that allows the daemon's username to write a pid file into it?
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> unixhag:  i always just install ubuntu-restricted-extras first thing. It grabs it and more for me. but im not on a 'server'
[13:12] <Younder> boscop, not that I know of. I'll check
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> unixhag:  that guide/doc seems a bit old.
[13:12] <maggott> ganymede: Read up on linux file permissions. You seem to need that.
[13:12] <unixhag> oooh, ubuntu-restricted-extras, I must look that up, thanks, sounds useful
[13:13] <Dr_Willis> unixhag:  that will install about 300mb of stuff :)
[13:13] <unixhag> no problem but thanks for the warning, I'll do it when bandwidth is available :-)
[13:13] <gar4eto3> ολοι  ειστε  μαλακιες
[13:13] <gar4eto3> !
[13:14] <ganymede> maggott, i'm familiar with unix file permissions. i'm more so asking what the convention is
[13:14] <Younder> boscop, Ok you need a compressed  file system partion mounted
[13:14] <Younder> boscop, http://parallel.vub.ac.be/~johan/compFUSEd/
[13:14] <sipior> gar4eto3: that's not very nice.
[13:15] <unixhag> It just troubles me that ubuntu is so good for thrusting into the hands of a microsoft user, saying hey try this, and usually it 'just works' for them.  Just install it.
[13:15] <sipior> gar4eto3: such a nice boy.
[13:16] <ahtmly2k> Dr_Willis : i dont think it helped.. im trying to connect my phone via usb, like in windows.. oh well thanks for the help anyways.. i guess somethings just dont work in lnx..
[13:16] <maggott> sipior: morons come in bucket loads.
[13:16] <unixhag> ubottu: I think  your URL, thanks, is exactly the one that I found to be misleading unfortunately
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> unixhag:  i do belive theres some legal issues that prevent suns java from being installed by default.
[13:16] <maggott> Dr_Willis: US legal issues.
[13:16] <aaabbb> ciao
[13:16] <aaabbb> hallo
[13:16] <Younder> boscop, correction http://freshmeat.net/projects/compf/
[13:16] <aaabbb> !list
[13:16] <Dr_Willis> ahtmly2k:  my cell phones have to be in 'data mode/or usb mode' for them to be seen as a usb gizmo.
[13:16] <unixhag> Dr_Willis: understood. It's a PITA, but the way to make it as painless as possible is to document it for the newbs.
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> unixhag:  SUN hasent really helped theirselfs much in the whole java 'saga' either.
[13:17] <Younder> boscop, never used it, but it seems like what you want
[13:17] <ahtmly2k> Dr_Willis : yeah mine too.. that's what i did..
[13:17] <unixhag> oh, obottu is a bot? haha
[13:17] <unixhag> I thought I'd won a heart :-)
[13:18] <gar4eto3> unixhad :: toy  have got skype???
[13:18] <unixhag> Dr_Willis: Yes, Sun and Adobe both did the dirty on users. They came out and said "we've got something wonderful that'll work for free on all platforms' and neither of them have followed through enough to make anyone grateful.
[13:19] <slowbuntu> holla
[13:19] <Dr_Willis> unixhag:  i find that often on new installs i dont even need java for a long time..  then i finally hit some web site that wants it.. and im reminded to install ubuntu-restricted-extras :)\
[13:20] <unixhag> Dr_Willis: I think in some earlier versions, ubuntu shipped with some alternative JRE installed, which could be replaced (as suggested at that URL) if a better one was ever needed.
[13:20] <slowbuntu> does any body know how to connect a linux box to another one using a crossover cable?
[13:20] <janhouse> why can I use only wep when creating ad-hoc network?
[13:20] <speedfreed91> όλοι  είστε βλάκιες  και  μαλάκιες
[13:20] <janhouse> Why such limitation on Ubuntu?
[13:20] <Nalf> How do I install LAMP?
[13:21] <unixhag> I had 8.x or 9.04 installed, didn't install java separately, and my .jar apps just worked.
[13:21] <Crumbles> uh
[13:21] <Crumbles> wipe isn't working guys
[13:21] <Crumbles> at all
[13:21] <Younder> Janhouse, you can't. It is just the mst convenient option
[13:21] <linny> Nalf: http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies
[13:21] <Crumbles> sudo wipe -fq -l 1024K /dev/sdc
[13:22] <Crumbles> and it instantly said "operation finished"
[13:22] <janhouse> Younder, why can't I use wpa2? why wep?!
[13:22] <Crumbles> and said 1 file wiped.
[13:22] <Younder> Janhouse, s/you can't/ it isn't/
[13:22] <unixhag> Dr_Willis: Anyway, thanks for the help and chat, I'll go grovel at sun's feet and get the deed over with. ttfn.
[13:22] <rblst> i have problems with high cpu use in jaunty; is there any way to get skype (during calls) and adobe flash plugin for firefox (youtube and such) use less cpu?

[13:24] <maggott> alumno: by rtfming.
[13:24] <commodore256> look for kde in synaptic
[13:24] <Younder> rblst, the right approcah is to use Ekiga sotfphone instead
[13:24] <rblst> Younder: weird, because some releases back i can't rembember having any of these problems; now youtube videos even stop sometimes, and skype conversations are jerky :(
[13:24] <maggott> Nalf: of course it dos.

[13:27] <rblst> maggott: i have experienced that, too :) so what can i use instead of flash to watch youtube for example?  do you recommend ekiga, too?
[13:27] <bazhang> maggott, rtfm jfgi are never acceptable here. Please desist.

[13:27] <alumno> i dont have to erase gnome, do i?
[13:27] <lotus> I have 8.8 gigs swap, 7.7 gigs ram.
[13:27] <g__> hi, i'm trying to get a canon i250 working in cups, i've followed some online guides, and i now see a printer with a green tick in it - what does this mean?
[13:27] <rblst> Younder: is chrome available in the repo?
[13:27] <panfist_> can anyone recommend an app to do some basic 2d design?
[13:27] <BA^> is there any difference between installing karmic and running lxde or installing Lubuntu?
[13:28] <lotus> I enter hibernate and the computer hangs for a moment, then turns back on at the screensaver lockout.
[13:28] <rblst> maggott: i know there are alternative players, but they seem even slower...
[13:28] <maggott> bazhang: which also means there's no way people gonna learn anything. Meh.
[13:28] <lotus> panfist_: gimp
[13:28] <lotus> panfist_: Gimp should come with the newer ubuntu iirc.
[13:28] <VCoolio> BA^: probably karmic has a lot of apps pre-installed belonging to gnome de
[13:28] <maggott> rblst: then you're out of luck. Complain to Adobe.
[13:28] <Younder> rblst, no beta, but at this point it is fully functional on my machine
[13:28] <g__> gimp is horrid
[13:28] <bazhang> maggott, this is not a re-direct to google. If you don't know then simply don't respond.
[13:28] <VCoolio> could someone help me getting gui from console login?
[13:28] <petsounds> alumno : you don't have to
[13:29] <rblst> Younder: hmm, i'll give it a shot, thanks for the tip
[13:29] <alumno> petsounds ok
[13:29] <maggott> bazhang: of course I know the answer.
[13:29] <lotus> VCoolio: login and then type STARTX
[13:29] <alumno> thx
[13:29] <lotus> no caps
[13:29] <Younder> rblst, http://dev.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel
[13:29] <Crumbles> so can anyone help me figure out wipe ?
[13:29] <g__> what about the opensource vector package - i forget what it's called?
[13:29] <VCoolio> lotus: that only results in a black screen
[13:29] <BA^> VCoolio: would lubuntu be any faster than karmix/lxde? are there services or stuff run by default?
[13:29] <rblst> maggott: i don't think there is an use, but thanks anyway
[13:29] <lotus> VCoolio: try reconfiguring your x server
[13:29] <maggott> rblst: no worries.
[13:29] <lotus> I forget the command.
[13:30] <lotus> dpkg --reconfigure xorg or somesuch
[13:30] <kane77> hi, I need to draw a plan for cutting, what program can I use for that? What I need is to be able to draw in precise dimensions and then show dimensions labels..
[13:30] <BA^> i'm trying out absolute linux right now but the synaptic like program doen't have much in the repositories... and it's slow
[13:31] <BA^> which is why i'm coming back to ubuntu
[13:31] <lotus> kane77: http://www.tech-edv.co.at/lunix/CADlinks.html might be helpful
[13:31] <lovre> hi all. The rc.local executing problem was fixed, right?
[13:31] <BA^> just trying to find a quicker version cuz i only have 256ram
[13:31] <maggott> BA^: just use Xfce
[13:31] <lotus> anyone have experience troubleshooting Hibernate in 9.04?
[13:31] <kane77> lotus, thanks.. That might be it.. I've never drawn anything like that :D
[13:32] <lotus> goodluck
[13:32] <Younder> BA^ that should suffice
[13:32] <maggott> BA^: or any minimal wm.
[13:32] <BA^> maggott: any diff between xubuntu or installing regualr karmic and running xfce ?
[13:32] <Younder> BA^ get the minimal windows version rather that ubuntu
[13:32] <Younder> BA^ get the minimal windows version rather that gnome
[13:32] <Younder> sorry
[13:33] <BA^> Younder: so install xubuntu... gotcha
[13:34] <CyberJack77> Hi, I want to create a really small debian/ubuntu server in VirtualBox with only a base system, apache and a few php packages. Does anyone know to to get this system as small as possible? I don't want to develop in the vbox image. I will share a directory which contains the php files.
[13:34] <BA^> i was using xubuntu before but my hdd light stayed on constantly which is why i tried other distros
[13:34] <Crumbles> screw it, wipe sucks
[13:34] <Crumbles> dd works better apparently.
[13:34] <panfist_> lotus is gimp suitable for designing things like schematics and blueprints?
[13:34] <lotus> panfist_: no :)
[13:35] <lotus> maybe rough rough drafts
[13:35] <lotus> but nothing final.
[13:35] <Younder> BA^ right, sorry for being so ubtuse :)
[13:35] <BA^> np
[13:35] <lotus> http://www.tech-edv.co.at/lunix/CADlinks.html  This is a cad link I just sent to someone else.  This would work for you too, panfist_
[13:35] <BA^> ok... i'm off to d/l either xubuntu or lubuntu
[13:35] <panfist_> thanks
[13:35] <Annonymorse> Amarok crashes every time it tries to open an mp3. Is there an easy solution to this?
[13:36] <Younder> Annonymorse, tricky that one
[13:37] <Annonymorse> Younder, what should I do?
[13:37] <Younder> Annonymorse: don't use Amarok, use totem
[13:37] <Annonymorse> hmm ok
[13:38] <OttifantSir> CyberJack77: I don't know all you have to do to get that working, but there is an Ubuntu Minimal Install out there. It installs practically nothing, so you're free to add what you want without anything else.
[13:38] <petsounds> Annonymorse : what kind of crashes?
[13:38] <Younder> Annonymorse: well you asked for easy..
[13:39] <Annonymorse> petsounds, the application freezes and I have to go into system monitor to kill the process. I've let it load up to 1 hour before, with no response.
[13:39] <Younder> Annonymorse: totem may experiece difficuties starting if you have multiple python versions.
[13:39] <VCoolio> I'm still with a blinking cursor on a black screen; startx doesn't help; /etc/init.d/gdm restart also doesn't give a login screen
[13:40] <Xcell> Annonymorse-   i resorted to this:   http://nomad.ca/blog/2009/apr/3/amarok-14-jaunty-ubuntu-904/
[13:40] <om26er> installed nvidia 190 on karmic 64-bit nvidia 9800gtx and cannot enable desktop effects
[13:40] <Younder> Xcell, the usuall
[13:40] <Xcell> it works tho..
[13:41] <Younder> Xcell, and that's what counts!
[13:42] <Younder> om26er, you might wanna take that up wit NVidea. It is propriatary
[13:42] <g__> holy crap cups is voodoo. i change nothing, and it suddenly starts working :/
[13:42] <om26er> Younder, no i don't
[13:43] <om26er> Younder, and don't know the solution doesn't mean any1 else don't
[13:43] <Younder> ok
[13:43] <Younder> wait it out

[13:44] <aLeSD> is there an application to resize a video ?
[13:44] <g__> ffmpeg
[13:44] <g__> aLeSD: ^^
[13:44] <CyberJack77> OttifantSir: Thanks, I'll start with looking at that install.
[13:44] <Younder> aLeSD, many
[13:44] <aLeSD> g__, I mean cut the size I don't want
[13:44] <aLeSD> not resize
[13:45] <g__> ohh - linux isn't really strong on that
[13:45] <Younder> aLeSD, crop
[13:45] <aLeSD> yes
[13:45] <petsounds> Vcoolio : do you have the same problem if you boot a live cd?
[13:45] <aLeSD> crop
[13:45] <aLeSD> thanks
[13:45] <g__> aLeSD: i couldn't find one i liked. so i resorted to using windows movie maker
[13:45] <g__> by 'one i liked' i mean, 'one that worked'.
[13:45] <VCoolio> petsounds: probably not; I'm trying to switch back to gdm but it won't load
[13:45] <aLeSD> I'm using kilo ... but it doens't what I want
[13:46] <om26er> during live cd session harware drivers suggested to install properietrty drivers but after install no suggestion
[13:46] <aLeSD> so ... no app at all ?
[13:46] <om26er> and hardware drivers don't show any driver either
[13:46] <Younder> aLeSD, well some of the really big packages like maya free edition have it, but you get a lot more than you need
[13:46] <g__> aLeSD: not really no :(
[13:46] <petsounds> om26er : reboot
[13:47] <g__> windows movie maker ftw ;)
[13:47] <khunt> where is the correct channel for netbook remix?

[13:47] <om26er> khunt, ask here
[13:47] <khunt> I have installed remix twice on my aa1
[13:48] <khunt> both times every time i boot it says that window picker and other taskbar items failed to load and asks me to delete them then I have to manually add them
[13:48] <khunt> my firend has an aa1 too and his does the same
[13:49] <khunt> but sometimes it works ok not often but sometimes
[13:49] <mido_> hi all
[13:49] <om26er> khunt, am using UNR and never got this error

[13:50] <om26er> khunt, are you both friends trying the final karmic cd?

[13:50] <khunt> Maybe it is realted to the aa1
[13:50] <ganymede> is there something like pidof but such that i can specify the arguments, not the program name? (for instance , i want to match /usr/bin/perl myscript.pl but not all perl processes)
[13:51] <WishingMaster> guys can one help me for installing android emulator in ubuntu, i have followed this article on the internet "http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Run-Android-Applications-on-Ubuntu-115152.shtml"
[13:51] <commodore256> Hey, I used to have a resolution option of 1280x960 with my intel card in the last ubuntu, but now, the highest it will go is 1024x768
[13:51] <om26er> khunt, and also i am using acer aspire one A110
[13:51] <mido_> how to upgrade my kernel
[13:51] <mido_> how to upgrade my kernel???
[13:51] <khunt> hmm
[13:51] <khunt> Its doing my head in
[13:51] <om26er> mido_, why you want to update?
[13:51] <ikonia> mido_: ubuntu's repo's will announce a new kernel to you when one is available
[13:52] <mido_> om26er: to get the latest drivers and to be more faster
[13:52] <ikonia> mido_: that's a false economy
[13:52] <om26er> mido_, yes he is true
[13:53] <Younder> mido_, in 6 months you get a kernel update
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> there was a kernel update recently i saw one today
[13:53] <khunt> Do you have any idea why my panel thingies force close on boot?
[13:53] <mido_> om26er: i downloaded ... but how to install it??
[13:53] <ikonia> mido_: if you have to ask - you shouldn't be doing it
[13:53] <ikonia> mido_: it will cause more damage to your system than any good it will do
[13:53] <napster> How can I display a message box on a remote windows machine from my Linux system...?
[13:53] <ikonia> mido_: unless you NEED a specific kernel update, let ubuntu developers manage it for you
[13:54] <om26er> is it a .deb file or .tar.gz?
[13:54] <Younder> napster, set the correct DISPLAY
[13:54] <mido_> aha ... thanx alot guyz .... i understod that .. thats a bad thing to upgrade the kernel?
[13:54] <OttifantSir> My Ubuntu Server 8.04.3 won't accept connections. NFS is working perfectly, but when trying to access it through a web-browser, I get an error saying "Couldn't connect to host. URL is unavailable at the moment" Especially CUPS web-interface is what I'm trying to access.
[13:54] <RenatoSilva> I'm having problem with gparted, it says it cannot read my ntfs partitions. I want to move them but the copy/paste options are disable. Anyone?
[13:55] <mido_> om26er: its tar
[13:55] <napster> Younder: ...?
[13:55] <Younder> mido_, riscy at best, disaterous if you don't know what you are doing
[13:55] <yml> I since my last update I have several regressions
[13:56] <mido_> Younder: yesterday i upgraded my ubuntu 8.1 to 9.01.... i got a prob with my wireless .. how to fix that?
[13:56] <Jimi_Neutral> anyone come across problems with clonezilla and karmic?
[13:56] <Younder> mido_: dont know
[13:56] <diddy> Does it make a big difference whether the external USB 2.0 disk drive has 8 or 32 MB cache?
[13:57] <Younder> mido_: haven't used it
[13:57] <mido_> Younder: ok ... whats your destribution?
[13:57] <Annonymorse> I get an error in amarok when I try to open a last.fm stream: No suitable input plugin. This often means that the url's protocol is not supported. Network failures are other possible causes.
[13:57] <Annonymorse> http://<IP_ADDRESS>:80/last.mp3?Session=bbd63316bd7f636144d81f8a068f208d
[13:57] <Younder> mido_: karmic
[13:58] <mido_> Younder:  is it good ? do u advice me to try it?
[13:58] <Younder> mido_: no, it is a turkey, you are better off sticking with what you got
[13:58] <om26er> mido_, enable the karmic proposed and then upgrade and it will install a later kernel
[13:58] <yml> and I cannot log using the gnome mode but only gnome failsafe

[14:06] <markizano> when i tell it to play a song, it acts like it wants to go on the net and find a missing package
[14:07] <dipsh> McLovin, i have had problems with suspend in 9.10 as ewll
[14:07] <markizano> the title of the package is "Windows Media Audio Decoder" but i seriously doubt that's what it needs b/c i'm only trying to play .mp3 files :/
[14:07] <markizano> it searches the repositories, and then tells me it can't find the package
[14:07] <dipsh> anyone good with grub??
[14:07] <ebel> Friend of mine has filled up his /usr partition. He now can't use apt. Is there anything that he is safe to delete from /usr to free up space?
[14:07] <markizano> anybody able to help w/ this?
[14:07] <McLovin> dipsh, yea it works fine when I switch bac to the old 9.04 kernell at boot

NFS is working perfectly, but when trying to access it through a web-browser, I get an error saying "Couldn't connect to host.

[14:08] <dipsh> it times out and goes to sleep automatically
[14:08] <petsounds> markizano : ubuntu-restricted-extras?
[14:09] <McLovin> dipsh, I dont even get that much now. it just sits there and does nothing but display my crappy screensaver even when the lid is closed and it is driving my nuts.
[14:09] <markizano> petsounds: apt-getting....
[14:09] <dipsh> but i dont care about that now, the old systems that i had on the machine were windows/7.10 and i need them for work
[14:09] <dipsh> the bootloader is dead now
[14:10] <dipsh> i installed to a USB pen to test out 9.10, but it installed the bootloader for ALL systems on the PEN!!
[14:10] <Petein> hi.can i install ubuntu netbook remix above my ubuntu 9.10 installation? something like an upgrade?
[14:10] <markizano> petsounds: same problem :(
[14:11] <dipsh> how can i restore my boot loader?
[14:12] <Reactor> dipsh: boot from cd and select that option
[14:13] <petsounds> markizano : if you using other music player like exaile, do you still have the problem?
[14:13] <Reactor> dipsh: but idk where it is
[14:13] <markizano> another issue I have is exaile won't even make sound... it plays music w/ no problem, it's just silent

[14:13] <dipsh> Reactor: there is an option to re-install grub?
[14:13] <McLovin> dipsh, lol I just looked in my system log under powersave and seen this "/usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/sched-powersave false: **sched policy powersave OFF" lol How did I miss that aven tho the gui power management says it is on. looks like I have a lil bit of work today on my own lappy Joy O' Bliss
[14:13] <dipsh> Reactor: i found one to boot from hard disk

[14:14] <markizano> gmerlin*
[14:14] <uberspaced> dipsh, read up about installing grub on a partition or whatever
[14:14] <dipsh> hmmm... let me boot from the old system and try and re-install grub
[14:14] <dipsh> i did, but i am not an expert so some things are confusing
[14:14] <markizano> and i've configured exaile to use ALSA, OSS, Pulse and Auto = no luck X{
[14:14] <uberspaced> dipsh, google says: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[14:14] <dipsh> according to the info it could be "sudo grub-install /dev/sda"

[14:19] <ActionParsnip> pnema: you need that folder to automount external partitions
[14:20] <pnema> Yonder: sudo didn't work
[14:20] <pnema> ActionParsnip: I have a backup, but want to rm this version
[14:20] <pnema> any other thoughts.  Is there something like unlink except for dirs?
[14:20] <CooPs89> ActionParsnip: yeah, just did, and it shows me it's "program folder", so doesn't really help me know where it resides from the root POV
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> pnema: rm -rf ~/.gvfs   will delete it, i suggest you make sure its empty just incase
[14:20] <miromanyth> I've installed Catalyst but when I run glxinfo I get this error - http://pastebin.org/56356

[14:23] <ActionParsnip> pnema: you may have to run: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~/.gvfs
[14:23] <dinosaurvskitten> is there a way to alias right_ctrl to left_ctrl? Some applications seem to completely ignore right_ctrl...
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> pnema: make sure you are the user you log on with or ~/.gvfs will be /root/.gvfs instead of /home/$USER/.gvfs
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> pnema: you can then run: sudo chmod -R 650 ~/.gvfs
[14:24] <Younder> ActionParsnip, you need .gvfs  to automount external partitions..
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> pnema: then try deleting it
[14:25] <pnema> ActionParsnip: trying now
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> Younder: i know but the guy has a backup
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> Younder: as s/he is smart
[14:25] <markizano> dinosaurvskitten: I'm not 100% on this, but I believe `man (getkeycodes|setkeycodes|showkey)' would help
[14:25] <Younder> ActionParsnip, thank god..
[14:25] <miromanyth> Can someone help me? I've installed catalyst but when I run glxinfo I get this error - http://pastebin.org/56356

[14:26] <dinosaurvskitten> markizano, thanks
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> Younder: i would re-permission the folder but a restore has been chosen by the user
[14:26] <markizano> dinosaurvskitten: sure :)
[14:26] <pnema> unkmar: I'll try your suggestion too
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> pnema: oh boy, can you make a folder on the desktop name .gvfs then copy it to ~ thus overwriting the bad one?
[14:27] <pnema> I'll try
[14:27] <Kretchfoop> libgconf sanity check returning 256, does anyone know this error?
[14:28] <unkmar> pnema: can you move it to /tmp ?
[14:28] <pnema> $ mv .gvfs/ /tmp/
[14:28] <pnema> mv: cannot remove directory `.gvfs': Device or resource busy
[14:28]  * ZachK_ is here and ready to give assistance
[14:28] <Younder> ActionParsnip, the problem it that it is that the files are locked while ubuntu is running
[14:29] <miromanyth> Can someone help me? I've installed catalyst but when I run glxinfo I get this error - http://pastebin.org/56356
[14:29] <Younder> ActionParsnip, or at least that is my guess
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> Younder: gotcha
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> Younder: makes sense
[14:29] <ZachK_> hey ActionParsnip
[14:29] <ZachK_> ActionParsnip: long time no see
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> pnema: you may have to boot to recovery root console, or live CD to remove the bad folder and restore the original
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> ZachK_: been busy with t'interviews and werk
[14:30] <ZehavaZM> I am trying to get my HTC Mogul to sync with Evolution Using the instructions found here http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceInstallation/Ubuntu/ModernDevice/ConnectionProblems
[14:30] <pnema> ActionParsip: I think I ma :(
[14:30] <pnema> may
[14:30] <unkmar> pnema: and I was thinking reboot just to free up the resource.
[14:30] <ZehavaZM> When I put in the command synce-pls I get this error synce-pls: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/librapi.so.2: undefined symbol: synce_info_get_transport
[14:30] <ZehavaZM> How can I fix this?
[14:31] <pnema> unkmar: let me try that first brb
[14:31] <Petein> ok i installed the package and now im in ubuntu remix. rather than the feeling what has now changed, which makes my laptop battery last longer?
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> Petein: lower brightness, could use cpufreq to underclock your CPU
[14:33] <Petein> ActionParsnip: well i want to have my CPU perform as it is
[14:33] <Petein> ActionParsnip: so ubuntu remix is only about looks?
[14:33] <OttifantSir> My Ubuntu Server 8.04.3 won't accept HTTP-connections. NFS is working perfectly, but when trying to access it through a web-browser, I get an error saying "Couldn't connect to host. URL is unavailable at the moment" Especially CUPS web-interface is what I'm trying to access. Could it be because I have denied access via portmap, and only opened for NFS? How would I open for the CUPS-interface?
[14:33] <rrittenhouse> How do I re-enable (in Karmic) scrolling using my mousewheel on my desktop?
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> Petein: it mainly optomises the screen for smaller screens
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> ZehavaZM: may help: http://tinyurl.com/ygvtjcw   its translated badly from french
[14:34] <markizano> yea, this is not good, now I try to play sound with other applications, like totem, virtualbox, or the beep package... the system doesn't make any sound...
[14:34] <Petein> ActionParsnip: how it does that?
[14:35] <sam__> How do i copy/paste text from clipboards to VNC viewer program?
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> Petein: the windows decorations are hidden in the top bar when apps are maximised, certain themes give more real estate for the apps to show in. stuff like that, use it, you'll see what it does
[14:36] <Petein> ActionParsnip: ive seen that
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> rrittenhouse: do you mean to change desktops or in apps to scroll up and down?
[14:37] <Younder> OttifantSir, yes
[14:37] <McLovin> Quick question.. How can I partition a new swap space? I did not allow for it on the install
[14:37] <rrittenhouse> ActionParsnip, I want to use my mouse wheel to scroll on the desktop to switch desktops. It worked in Jaunty
[14:37] <Younder> OttifantSir, try disabeling the firewall and trying again
[14:37] <Pelo> McLovin, boot the live cd,  resize the partion you have to make space for the new swap,  then you'll need to manualy edit your /etc/fstab file
[14:38] <unkmar> McLovin: parted or gparted.
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> rrittenhouse: do you use compiz?
[14:38] <McLovin> thanks guyz
[14:38] <markizano> McLovin: 1) backup your data! 2) open gparted, if you have it, then resize your main disk (if you haven't allocated space for it yet), format the unformatted partition, then you haz swap
[14:38] <rrittenhouse> ActionParsnip, I keep it on normal. So yeah?
[14:38] <Younder> OttifantSir, I mean you are NOT testing setup's on production servers?
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> rrittenhouse: wobbly windows, 3D desktop, max /  minimise effects
[14:38] <ZehavaZM> ActionParsnip thank you, I had looked at that cause google shows it mentions the error, but no solution is given.
[14:39] <OttifantSir> Younder: I don't know how to do that. I haven't set it up, except during NFS-setup I have denied access by doing portmap : ALL in hosts.deny
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> ZehavaZM: do you have all the packages the dude listed?
[14:39] <ZehavaZM> I will double check, but I believe I do
[14:39] <ActionParsnip> rrittenhouse: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=601716
[14:40] <Younder> OttifantSir, well after that allow <IP_ADDRESS> (or localhost)
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> rrittenhouse: you can also hover your pointer over the viewpoint switcher on your task bar and scroll there
[14:40] <rrittenhouse> ActionParsnip, Doesn't seem to work for me in Karmic.
[14:40] <Younder> OttifantSir, <IP_ADDRESS> is actually loopback
[14:40] <pnema> unkmar, ActionParsnip: Reboot work.  .gvfs is normal again.  All is peaceful once again in the land of Ubuntu.  Forgot to apply my old rule, when in doubt reboot (mainly a windows rule, but sometimes linux too)
[14:41] <ActionParsnip> pnema: reboot fixes much
[14:41] <pnema> thx
[14:41] <unkmar> pnema: when you said it was busy. that was the easiest thing I could think of.
[14:41] <OttifantSir> Younder: So, in /etc/hosts.allow I would do... portmap : <IP_ADDRESS>?
[14:42] <pnema> I moved my /home to a new partition, have new space, life is good, thx unkmar
[14:42] <Younder> pnema, In this case the files were locked since they are monitored by demonds. You could shut down the demons first, but it is easier to just reboot
[14:42] <xpo0f_> hi people
[14:42] <xpo0f_> hi elky
[14:42] <freakunleashd> hi people
[14:42] <pnema> Thanks Yonder, that probably would have worked and saved a reboot
[14:42] <ZehavaZM> ActionParsnip Yep, there was one I was missing, now it's working, thanks a ton....I'm a dope! lol
[14:43] <freakunleashd> Does anybody have a problem with slow copy hdd to hdd in ubuntu 9.10?
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> ZehavaZM: read stuff people give you dude, works wonders
[14:43] <Younder> OttifantSir, no
[14:43] <xpo0f_> freakunleashd, are u sure that ?? slow copy
[14:43] <Younder> OttifantSir, wait let me think about that
[14:43] <rrittenhouse> ActionParsnip, That fixed it. Thanks a lot!
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> rrittenhouse: np man
[14:43] <pnema> unkmar, Yonder, ActionParsnip: see all later! and thx once again
[14:44] <freakunleashd> yeah I'm trying to copy a image file of 8 gb from one internal hdd to another it is saying 30 min
[14:44] <xpo0f_> 8gb for sure
[14:44] <freakunleashd> yes
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> freakunleashd: is it PATA to SATA?
[14:44] <freakunleashd> all sata
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[14:44] <freakunleashd> I have three sata hdd's
[14:44] <freakunleashd> I cannot figure out y
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> how much cache does the source and destination have on the drive?
[14:45] <freakunleashd> how do I check?
[14:45] <bigmack83_> what is the best way to combine multiple *.mpg files into one mpg movie?
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> freakunleashd: if you dont know then I suggest you websearch their makes / models for confirmation
[14:45] <freakunleashd> I think its enough cause ubuntu 9.04 it was pretty fast
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> bigmack83_: there is no best anything, here is one method: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=199993
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> bigmack83_: its not the best, nor is any other suggestion you recieve
[14:46] <tom_> hi guys....   short question about kate:   is it possible to configure kate somehow to always us an already open session, when opening a new file?  and use a new tab within that session?  I know this is possble via commandline.. but there must be some way to do this at a "single" place for all text files that are opened by defulat with kate
[14:46] <bigmack83_> ActionParsnip, ah thanks. will check it out
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> freakunleashd: if on has a tonne of cache and the other has very little it may affect the speed. You should check cache when you buy drives, as well as look at seek times ;)
[14:47] <neoTheCat> is there any kind of NAS software that i can run on ubuntu server, instead of installing freenas or some stand alone OS, or manually configuring?
[14:48] <freakunleashd> thanks action I'll take care hence forth
[14:48] <igors> hello, i'm trying to mount a HFS+ partition with rw permissions. I can do that with mount -rw ..., but i need rw access to some "internal" foldes inside it, like /System/Library, and it's just r.
[14:48] <_Ray_> Small question. I know my port 1337 is open to the internet. Could I ask someone to check if it's my sshd who responds on port 1337 at fedelebron.com? (I know it works locally, but I'm going to be needing it later on today)
[14:49] <trevorj> igors: hfs+ is only read-writable if you turn the journal off in os x
[14:49] <erUSUL> neoTheCat: install the different servers ( samba nfs ftp? etc ) check if ebox is a good solution for configuring ...
[14:49] <trevorj> igors: oh, forget what I said
[14:49] <trevorj> igors: you're having permissions issurs
[14:49] <trevorj> igors: access it as root
[14:49] <igors> trevorj: yes...i am root
[14:49] <trevorj> igors: sudo -i will give you a root shell
[14:49] <xpo0f> trevorj, sudo
[14:49] <trevorj> xpo0f: ?
[14:50] <freakunleashd> I have 8mb cache on the 320gb and 4 mb on 160 gb hdd
[14:50] <trevorj> igors: if you're root, you should have access to all
[14:50] <d4non_> should I uninstall Opera before installing the new one from .deb package? How do I uninstall it later?
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> freakunleashd: i dont think it would affect it hugely, maybe there is some channel issue, and you should connect the drive to a different controller
[14:50] <xpo0f> trevorj, and then ?
[14:50] <freakunleashd> Copying to external usb hdd is also very very slow
[14:50] <igors> trevorj: yeah, but i don't, some specific folders inside the mac particiona i can access (the unique one i need)
[14:50] <freakunleashd> tried everything in two days, I think its a dma problem
[14:51] <freakunleashd> my dma is not being used
[14:51] <trevorj> igors: ah. you can try chmoding it
[14:51] <freakunleashd> I read about it somewhere I don't know
[14:51] <Younder> sudo apt-get install sysinfo
[14:52] <Younder> then look at the drives
[14:52] <igors> trevorj: chmod u+w folder gives me the errors "Read-only filesystem"...
[14:52] <trevorj> freakunleashd: you can find out with hdparm or sdparm
[14:52] <freakunleashd> okay I'll do it
[14:52] <Younder> particulary the sector formatting
[14:52] <trevorj> igors: ok, run dmesg
[14:52] <trevorj> igors: see if it says it mounted it read only
[14:52] <trevorj> igors: I bet you have journalling turned on for the fs
[14:52] <igors> yes, i have
[14:52] <d4non> should I uninstall Opera (installed from repos) before installing the new version from .deb package? How do I uninstall it later?
[14:52] <trevorj> igors: you need to boot into os x and turn off journalling disk utility
[14:52] <igors> the problem is that my os x is not booting anymore...
[14:53] <unkmar> igors: you must turn off the journalling for the hfs.
[14:53] <trevorj> igors: boot into your os x cd
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> d4non: sudo apt-get --pure remove opera    or    sudo dpkg -r opera
[14:53] <freakunleashd> I'll try installing it now will be back
[14:53] <trevorj> igors: you need to run diskutil in the command line
[14:53] <trevorj> igors: to turn off journalling
[14:53] <trevorj> igors: then you can mount it rw
[14:53] <igors> i accidentaly removed a file from /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/, and it's not booting anymore, i'm trying to write it back
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> d4non: the dpkg command will leave the config so you can use   sudo dpkg -P opera   to clear that out
[14:53] <Younder> ActionParsnip, the .deb file from their site works
[14:54] <GreyGhost> hmm . .hw do i check all the options set during a particular mount?? jst 'mount' lists all of them?
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> Younder: i know, i use it
[14:54] <ActionParsnip> Younder: no crappy firefox for me
[14:55] <Younder> ActionParsnip, I use chrome these days
[14:55] <OttifantSir> d4non: I only download the package of Opera, close Opera and install the upgrade, then start Opera again. Never had any problems doing it like that
[14:55] <igors> trevorj: it's seems you're a mac geek too, so let me ask: i've installed an app that starts a daemon in boot, but i removed the .plist file from /System/Library/LaunchDaemons for it, and my mac is not booting anymore
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> Younder: i kinda bounce between but mainly chromium here
[14:55] <jimi_neutral> Hi all, I have had to reinstall 8.10 because karmic didnt work with clonezilla
[14:55] <trevorj> igors: I am ;)
[14:55] <xpo0f> HI
[14:55] <trevorj> igors: what app
[14:56] <jimi_neutral> I need to edit my network interfaces but i dont have the gui installed, is it possible to do this?
[14:56] <igors> trevorj: a leylogger, logKext
[14:56] <trevorj> igors: oh. why did you install that?
[14:56] <unkmar> jimi_neutral: yes.  /etc/network
[14:56] <neoTheCat> erUSUL: thanks, i'll look into that.  i want to get a file server running, but i do not want to have to become a samba/nfs expert
[14:56] <freakunleashd> sudo hdparm -d /dev/sdb
[14:56] <freakunleashd> /dev/sdb:
[14:56] <freakunleashd>  HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[14:57] <freakunleashd> help!
[14:57] <igors> trevorj: i am asking myself why i did this shit until now (kind of problems with sister using my mac, you know... :T)
[14:57] <unkmar> jimi_neutral: what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[14:57] <trevorj> igors: lol, I see
[14:57] <erUSUL> neoTheCat: if you want the simple way then the freenas/openfiler route is best imho
[14:57] <trevorj> igors: did you make a copy of the plist
[14:57] <trevorj> igors: or just delete it
[14:57] <david__> hello
[14:58] <jimi_neutral> unkmar, well i am using it as a cloning machine....all i need on it is clonezilla but it means configuring two network cards...one for internet and one for the cloning process
[14:58] <igors> trevorj: i've deleted it, but i just found in the project sources (google code)
[14:58] <trevorj> igors: have you tried booting your mac into single user mode?
[14:58] <neoTheCat> erUSUL: i was looking into that, but i only have one spare box, and i need to run subversion, postgres and apache
[14:58] <trevorj> igors: you can force it to mount as rw if you want, but I've had corruption doing that with a journalled hfs+ filesystem
[14:59] <erUSUL> neoTheCat: ahh ok; multipupose server ... ok good luck
[14:59] <trevorj> igors: so I recommend not doing it
[14:59] <igors> trevorj: no, but the app is installed for all users...do you think it would work?
[14:59] <erUSUL> !ebox | neoTheCat
[14:59] <jimi_neutral> unkmar, i had this troublew when i first did it and im guessing that i will need to install the gui desktop cause i dont know if you can control clonezilla from command line
[14:59] <igors> i understand...
[14:59] <trevorj> igors: single user mode is also known as safe mode
[14:59] <neoTheCat> erUSUL: thanks.  been unemployed for seven months, so i need to make due with what i have :)
[14:59] <trevorj> igors: have you tried going into disk utility and repairing your drive?
[14:59] <jimi_neutral> unkmar, i would rather not though if it is possible, but thats another matter, first i need to get these network int's sorted
[14:59] <igors> trevorj: hum...do you think is possible to remove a record somewhere, that makes OS X forget about this app?
[15:00] <igors> trevorj: nops, i can't boot to it anymore...
[15:00] <trevorj> igors: I don't know exactly where a keylogger would store it's startup information, it more than likely does some secret squirrel stuff
[15:00] <xpo0f> :)
[15:00] <trevorj> igors: I meant boot it into your cd
[15:00] <unkmar> jimi_neutral: /etc/network/interfaces
[15:00] <trevorj> igors: your os x cd
[15:00] <andrewboktor> hi guys, i want to see the ubuntu boot up messages? how can i disable the flashscreen and show these instead?
[15:00]  * Younder is wasy
[15:00] <unkmar> jimi_neutral: you might want to backup current settings. first.
[15:00] <trevorj> andrewboktor: in grub, type "e" on the entry you want to edit
[15:00] <trevorj> andrewboktor: take the "splash" out of the boot arguments
[15:01] <trevorj> Anacranom: then press "b" to boot
[15:01] <trevorj> er
[15:01] <trevorj> andrewboktor: then press "b" to boot
[15:01] <igors> trevorj: oh, ok...i'll try that, there is some kind of live cd there? never seen....
[15:01] <trevorj> igors: the mac os x install cd
[15:01] <jimi_neutral> unkmar, brand new install
[15:01] <andrewboktor> trevorj, thx man
[15:01] <jimi_neutral> unkmar, says command not found....
[15:01] <unkmar> traveller: andrewboktor: I usually remove the quite as well.  I like to see the stuff as it happens.
[15:02] <trevorj> igors: you can also try this -- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
[15:02] <trevorj> igors: try booting it into safe mode
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> andrewboktor: to make it permanent run: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[15:02] <unkmar> jimi_neutral: man ifconfig
[15:02] <igors> trevorj: ok, thanks!
[15:02] <trevorj> igors: np
[15:02] <unkmar> jimi_neutral: /etc/network/interfaces is a file that you can edit.
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> andrewboktor: you can remove the boot option there, save the file then run: sudo update-grub
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> andrewboktor: or simply uninstall xspash and usplash
[15:03] <igors> trevorj: i'll leave cause i'm on ubuntu live, i'll back if no success... thanks for the help :)
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> jimi_neutral: sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
[15:03] <Binaridragon> Good mornign everyone
[15:03] <trevorj> igors: you got it man, good luck
[15:03] <djura-san> hello to all. q: how can i set nrurses colours to be like in ubuntu? Fore example: mc in slackware has that "killer eyes" blue but on ubuntu it has soft and "nice for eye" blue colur. How to do that?

[15:04] <jimi_neutral> unkmar, thanks
[15:04] <CyberJack77> hmm the Ubuntu Minimal CD still installes a 680mb system. Is there a debian/ubuntu version with a smaller footprint. I just need a base system (network No X) with apache and PHP.
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> CyberJack77: ulite
[15:04] <g__> ugh - turboprint it is :(
[15:04] <g__> now to cough up $30 just to print
[15:05] <g__> it seems the only thing you want to use linux for is programming. it still fails at everything else
[15:05] <djura-san> CyberJask77: use debian net install ;)
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> CyberJack77: installs boot loader and kernel + drivers, you can then install lxde and have a super small desktop
[15:06] <McLovin> Anyone know of a good complete hdd image backup program for x86?
[15:06] <icehawk78> Is there any way to colorise the SSH login prompt, similar to colorizing the bash prompt?
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> g__: could buy a super compatible printer or one with free support like HP
[15:06] <vivid> hello, im having an issue with karmic, ive made a mistake with my xorg.conf and i need to make a change.  unfortunately this error has me stuck in an infinite x crash loop on boot up and i cannot access the console.  during the boot process i have no grub2 menu to select the recovery kernel from....anyone know how i can get grub to show?
[15:06] <g__> ActionParsnip: that'd be > $30
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> McLovin: partimage
[15:06] <vimto> hello every one
[15:06] <McLovin> ActionParsnip, thanks
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> g__: i guess, always check hcl before hardware purchases, saves disappointment
[15:07] <CyberJack77> ActionParsnip: Ok, I will try ulite. Just don't need any X so i guess I can skip that part.
[15:07] <g__> ActionParsnip: yeah, but i bought this printer years ago for windows
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> CyberJack77: cool, even faster
[15:07] <CyberJack77> djura-san: I will also try the net install... after ulite
[15:07] <vimto> hello how you doing all
[15:07] <g__> if linux is to compete with windows, it just has to be as compatible. you can't tell the consumer - oh, buy another printer, because that one doesn't work with this os
[15:07] <vimto> any one from saudi arabia
[15:07] <ddelrio1986> good how are you vimto?
[15:08] <cba123> Running x64 Karmic, and I can't click in flash videos, as in I can't close the ads in youtube, I can use press the space bar to pause youtube videos though.  Any ideas?
[15:08] <amigojapan> hi, any idea why now I cant type well, my keyboard layout seems to be messed up but only in gnome... I am usinf twm now...
[15:08] <vimto> very well
[15:08] <g__> any bitching over - time to buy ink...
[15:08] <vimto> thanks for asking
[15:08] <unkmar> g__: then get the manufactures to release native linux drivers with their equipment.  They do it for microsoft products.
[15:08] <sipior> people still print things?
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> sipior: yes, businesses print LOTS
[15:09] <amigojapan> g_: linux is free, so that is a big advantage... and compatibility, we just haveto pray wine gets better and better

[15:10] <DJones> !netinstall | djura-san
[15:10] <Monocian>  Besides of Skype, which IM are you using that supports voice calls?
[15:10] <DJones> djura-san: Have a look at that first link from ubottu, from memory the netinstall instructions are detailed within it

[15:11] <Alvin> hi everyone
[15:11] <ubuntu> ok
[15:11] <vimto> hi alvin
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> Monocian: ekiga works
[15:11] <jimi_neutral> action
[15:11] <ActionParsnip> jimi_neutral: sup
[15:11] <Alvin> i have problems with wubi and lvpm
[15:12] <Alvin> after resizing my disk, i cant boot into ubuntu
[15:12] <jimi_neutral> ActionParsnip, one is a loopback and the other is the primary but i want to set both a static and one has to have connectivity to outside and one is internal only for a cloning process
[15:12] <Trovador_z> hello, I have a problem on bootup, i get mountall: /proc: unable to mount: Device or resource busy
[15:12] <Trovador_z> kernel 2.6.24, ubuntu 9.10
[15:12] <erUSUL> !ics
[15:12] <Trovador_z> anyone know how to fix this?
[15:13] <Alvin> anyone can help me?
[15:13] <vimto> actually  alvin iam new user so forgive me
[15:13] <Alvin> ok vimto, thanks ^^
[15:13] <erUSUL> Trovador_z: why are you using a *.24 kernel in karmic ?
[15:13] <phxheat> Pidgin does anyone know of a option to prevent showing chatters when they enter/leave the room
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> jimi_neutral: leave the loopback as is
[15:14] <albech> anyone else have problems connecting with UbuntuOne?
[15:14] <Trovador_z> erUSUL: I`m trying to figure that one out, I believe someone did a distribution upgrade on the machine, and on restart it just hung and gave this error
[15:14] <albech> is there a log file where I can trouble shoot ubuntuone?
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> phxheat: main pidgin screen, CTRL +U and select join / Part hiding
[15:14] <albech> i see nothing in /var/log/messages :(
[15:14] <Trovador_z> erUSUL: is 2.6.24 not compatible with 9.10?
[15:15] <Alvin> anyone got experience with wubi and lvpm?
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> jimi_neutral: here are some exmples to get you going: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
[15:15] <DJones> albech: There's a support channel for ubuntuone, I think its #ubuntuone that might be the bests place for troubleshooting with it
[15:15] <jimi_neutral> ActionParsnip, ty
[15:15] <albech> DJones, thanks.. didnt know about that
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> !ubuntuone
[15:16] <phxheat> ActionParsnip: thanks, I give it a shot
[15:16] <jimi_neutral> ac tion
[15:16] <jimi_neutral> ActionParsnip, how do i know which card is being set as which
[15:17] <erUSUL> Trovador_z: karmic use 2.6.31
[15:17] <Walmor> Hello, While trying to save in Nvidia Settings I get this error Failed to parse existing X config file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> jimi_neutral: sudo lshw -C network   sould show you (i think) if its wrong in te config you only have to switch 4 numbers in the file
[15:17] <unkmar> jimi_neutral: method one.  plug it in and see results.  Method two. pay attention to MAC addresses.  Physical address.
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> Walmor: run: sudo nvidia-xconfig   first
[15:17] <erUSUL> Trovador_z: make sure you have linux-image instaled « sudo aptitude install linux-image »
[15:18] <Trovador_z> apt won't run, because it can't mount the fs
[15:19] <savid> On Ubuntu One, is it possible to sync other directories?  For example, I want my ~/Documents dir to always be sync'd
[15:19]  * unkmar goes away for now.
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> Walmor:  i got arond that once by saving the generated xorg.conf to a different file. then copying it to /etc/X11/xorg.conf  (not sure why that worked) OR use some preesisting xorg.conf and let it do the changes to that one.  here is my xorg.conf -> http://pastebin.com/f15106778
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> savid:  check in #ubuntuone - Im not dsure what  is possible.
[15:19] <Dr_Willis> Hmm that bot factoid on Ubuntuone should mention the #ubuntuone channel
[15:20] <Trovador_z> erUSUL: although it appears the generic package linux-image, as you say, is not installed
[15:20] <Alvin> anyone know where to get started for fixing wubi boot?
[15:20] <Dr_Willis> !wubi | Alvin
[15:20] <Walmor> I get this error while sudo nvidia-xconfig  Data incomplete in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Undefined Device "(null)" referenced by Screen "Default Screen".
[15:20] <Trovador_z> is it possible to just reinstall Karmic over it? what configuration do i lose if so?
[15:21] <Walmor> I got 2 monitors
[15:21] <Walmor> 1 is touch screen
[15:21] <Alvin> thx Dr_Willis, i have read the FAQ for resizing my wubi partition with LVPM. But after doing that, i cant boot to ubuntu
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> Walmor:  for 2 monitors check out my OTHER xorg.conf --> http://pastebin.com/f6a694463
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> Walmor:  copy it to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf then run that 'gksudo nvidia-settings' and tweak your needs
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> Alvin:  the #1 thing i know about wubi is that i never want to use it. :)
[15:23] <Alvin> lol
[15:23] <Binaridragon> Dr_Willis, why not just get sudo apt-get install  nvidian-settings
[15:23] <Binaridragon> i think thats the one with gui interface
[15:23] <Alvin> my windows partition is pretty messed up, so creating a new partition is a pain
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> Binaridragon:  You still have to run the nvidia-settings tool to configure the thing..   and yes. i did say run nvidia-settings :)
[15:23] <ActionParsnip> Binaridragon: the drivers and config are installed, just that karmic doesnt ship with xorg.conf even though its massively useful
[15:24] <jfewings_> ActionParsnip, ok i have set the interfaces as eth1 and eth2 .....eth 1 as dhcp and eth 2 as a private ip but when i restart networking it says no such device when looking for eth2
[15:24] <Dr_Willis> the nvidia-settings tool is getting old and brain dead in some ways
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> jfewings_: then check the device names in ifconfig and/or sudo lshw -C network
[15:24] <Walmor> Dr_Willis: this is my conf http://pastebin.com/m4c0b8dd1
[15:24] <pitseleh> hmm, i'm modifying strings in C
[15:24] <pitseleh> and its a very bad idea
[15:25] <pitseleh> through swig
[15:25] <friendishan> how do i ping a site in ubuntu?
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> Walmor:  compare it to mine. Ive copied my xorg.conf to radically different machines thenjust ran the nvidia-settings tool. it will change what parts need to be changed.
[15:25] <OttifantSir> How can I open my 8.04.3 Server to accept HTTP-connections. I have edited hosts.deny to include portmap : ALL, and I need to access the CUPS-webinterface (port 631)
[15:25] <trism> Walmor: if nvidia-settings is complaining about not being able to parse the file, just mv your current xorg.conf to a backup and it should work fine
[15:25] <linuxer91> italia
[15:25] <DJones> !it | linuxer91
[15:25] <sledgeas> hello there!
[15:26] <friendishan> how do i ping a site in ubuntu?
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> friendishan: same as any other OS
[15:26] <maco> friendishan: with the ping command
[15:26] <hudnix> Has anyone managed to get chrome working correctly as the browser launched by the jvm? chrome doesn't seem to understant the "openurl" command that the jvm wraps urls in.
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> friendishan: ping is universal
[15:26] <djura-san> friendishan_ ping site_url
[15:26] <Doonz> Hey how can i check what version of apache is installed on my box?
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> friendishan: i recommend: ping -c 4 dest
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> pong!
[15:26] <sledgeas> is nautilus' "Open as administrator" available with default installation of 9.10 ?
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> Doonz: dpkg -l | grep apache
[15:26] <Doonz> thank you
[15:26] <OttifantSir> sledgeas: No
[15:27] <friendishan> ActionParsnip: so i just need to do the same i do in windows cmd in terminal here?
[15:27] <OttifantSir> sledgeas: You need to install it
[15:27] <jfewings_> ActionParsnip, its finding my 10/100 which is the dhcp one that goes to outside which is an onboard card but it is not finding my gigabit one which is the private one for eth2
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> friendishan: yes, why didnt you try it first?
[15:27] <Dumbix> ping all
[15:27] <sledgeas> OttifantSir: thanks, means i will have to go to my friends' and sudo apt-get install nautilus-gksu
[15:27] <sledgeas> ;)
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> jfewings_: maybe it needs a driver
[15:27] <Alvin> would this work if i reinstall my wubi installation and then overwrite the root.disk with my old root.disk?
[15:27] <OttifantSir> sledgeas: That would be the way, yes
[15:28] <jfewings_> ActionParsnip, this is where im screwed, im not on gui, this is all just the bare shell and i am failry new to linux
[15:28] <Binaridragon> ActionParsnip, but if you run the nvidia-settings that should created xorg.conf file for you....can anyone correct me if im worng
[15:28] <friendishan> ActionParsnip : ok i will try
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> jfewings_: doesnt need gui
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> Binaridragon: no, it can write to it if one exists and can be parsed
[15:28] <jfewings_> ActionParsnip, aye, but as i said ...linux newb lol
[15:28] <Supersaiyan_IV> Anyone with experience of running Screamer 2 in dosbox?
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> Binaridragon: a none existant file will fail parsing
[15:29] <Binaridragon> ActionParsnip, can we create and empty one maybe
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> jfewings_: use the lshw output to fid the method to install the driver for the device
[15:29] <Binaridragon> with touch xorg.conf
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> Binaridragon: yes with: sudo nvidia-xconfig
[15:29] <Binaridragon> ActionParsnip, your the man ;)
[15:29] <jfewings_> ActionParsnip, how do i scroll up
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> jfewings_: just rerun the command
[15:30] <sipior> OttifantSir: have you verified that cupsd is running on the machine? have you made a hole for it in whatever firewall you have erected?
[15:30] <Binaridragon> jfewings_, run cat filename | less
[15:30] <Dr_Willis> Binaridragon:  i do think part of the issue may also be mixxing sections from the xorg.conf  but in the past i just run nvidia-settings and have it save to /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia-generated   then copied that file to xorg.conf and it worked
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> Binaridragon: if it moans about a missing section you can rename the monitor section to keep it happy. You will need to edit the screen section too if thechanges affect that too
[15:30] <friendishan> ACtionparsnip: is it a different command for -t in ubuntu?
[15:30] <jfewings_> ActionParsnip, there is too much i need to scroll up
[15:30] <phxheat> I was curious as to why the scroll bar starts moving upward after some time in the chat room and I have to pull it down to see new posts. My gut feeling is everyone experiences this
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> friendishan: if you just run: ping dest   it will be the equiv as windows ping -t dest
[15:31] <OttifantSir> sipior: Got the interface when I ran links http://localhost:631, but only text. I need to access it through a machine on LAN with GUI
[15:31] <Dr_Willis> phxheat:  ive seen some bugs in some irc clients like that every so often, Try hitting Pagedown see if it figures it out
[15:31] <Binaridragon> ActionParsnip, not having an issue with this, just wanted to see the bells behind it
[15:31] <ActionParsnip> jfewings_: sudo lshw -C network | less
[15:31] <Puck_> Hi, All I'm stuck.  Got ubuntu 9.10-amd64 on cd . Hashes verify for .iso,  burned with k3b-verified.  Boot gives startup screen and won't move from there.   sys is http://pastebin.com/d6efa766a
[15:31] <Dr_Willis> phxheat:  and no i dont have that issue with this irc client. :)
[15:32] <phxheat> It does it with Pidgin and Emathy
[15:32] <jfewings_> ActionParsnip, how do i do that vertical line
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> jfewings_: deends on keyboard
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> phxheat:  i reccomend using a dedicated irc client for irc. Not  pidgin or empathy.
[15:32] <jfewings_> ActionParsnip, bog standard uk
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> depends, maybe left of the numeber 1 or left of Z or above enter
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> || -> above the enter key here. :)
[15:33] <quyet_> ok
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> jfewings_: i have 3 "standard UK" keyboards and they are all over the place
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> Linux - helping people discover NEW keys on their keyboard they never noticed befor!
[15:33] <Alvin> can Super GRUB fix wubi boot?
[15:33] <jfewings_> ActionParsnip, i can see it, just cant make it appear, its on the top left under escape
[15:33] <Dr_Willis> Alvin:  i would be suprised if it could
[15:33] <friendishan> Actionparsnip: nope not working
[15:33] <jfewings_> ActionParsnip, next to 1
[15:34] <Dr_Willis> jfewings_:  thats ~ and ` here on this keyboard. :)
[15:34] <maco> jfewings_: shift?
[15:34] <Alvin> =(
[15:34] <jfewings_> ¬`| is the three that it is
[15:34] <Binaridragon> what a name...marijuana
[15:34] <Binaridragon> jesus
[15:34] <maco> jfewings_: altGr?
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> friendishan: ping on its own will run forever, if you add -c 4 it will only do 4 pings (like windows standard)
[15:35] <maco> jfewings_: lke right alt + that key?
[15:35] <Magnesium> !Gaim
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> friendishan: e.g:    ping -c 4 www.bmezine.com; ping www.bmezine.com
[15:35] <friendishan> Actionparsnip: i know that but i wanted to use the command -t (what is the alternative of that in ubuntu)
[15:35] <RenatoSilva> how to make grub recognize a new partition?
[15:35] <Lint01> what can I do in grub rescue> prompt?
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> friendishan: the first command will ping 4 times, the next command will ping forever
[15:36] <amgarching> Hi, will dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/BIGFILE actualy fill the disk with zeros on ext4? Need it for compression of images.
[15:36] <Magnesium> !IM
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> friendishan: just ping, ping on its own with no extra switches will ping forever and ever(until you press ctrl+c)
[15:36] <Dr_Willis> amgarching:  thers other tools for zeroing out unused drive space I recall.
[15:36] <friendishan> Actionparsnip: ok and what about this command
[15:36] <funkyHat> Anyone found gnome-keyring not offering "always allow" options (my friend says his only says "allow" or "deny")?
[15:37] <friendishan> Actionparsnip: ping (IP address) -t -l 15000   ?
[15:37] <Dr_Willis> amgarching:  but id think that would work also. dont forget a BS= option to dd or it will be slow
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> amgarching: yes, it will make a file with lots of 0s in, you can use count to control how many, you will need sudo for the command also, as users do not have write access to /root
[15:37] <jfewings_> ActionParsnip, ah, its logical name according to this is eth0
[15:37] <Lint01> amgarching: it will break your system, most likely
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> friendishan: -t in linux ping alows you to specify time to live (TTL)
[15:38] <maggott> ActionParsnip: wich isn't really what he asked for.
[15:38] <amgarching> Dr_Willis: du -sm BIGFILE shows growth, does  it mean the zeroes are actually makeing it to the disk? ActionParsnip
[15:38] <friendishan> Actionparsnip : ok thanks^^
[15:38] <friendishan> !ok
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> maggott: i know, i was trying to make that clear. Looks like its understood now though
[15:39] <Binaridragon> lol@ubottu
[15:39] <sipior>
[15:39] <amgarching> ActionParsnip: sudo passwd root is the first command I execute on any Ubuntu, old fashioned.
[15:40] <friendishan> Actionparsip: does this ping command which u gave me -c increase the traffic (takes bandwidth) of a site.?
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> friendishan: -l allows you to specify preload (number of pings to send without waitting for reply. By yur high number I'm guessing you are testing some network software / settings
[15:40] <Dr_Willis> amgarching:  why would you think they were not making it to the disk?
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> amgarching: not needed, sudo -s is the advised method
[15:40] <ActionParsnip> amgarching: it also lessens system security
[15:41] <friendishan> Actionparsnip: i just wanted to get some traffic to my site to tell me friends that my site gets a lot of traffic (LOL)
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> friendishan: no, it pings for a (count of 4
[15:41] <mArS_> Hi
[15:41] <maniel> hi
[15:41] <Binaridragon> friendishan, whats the link me to your site
[15:41] <friendishan> ActionParsnip: nope i used the second command.
[15:41] <amgarching> Dr_Willis: who knows, maybe it is one of new ext4 features.
[15:41] <maniel> where is `dog` utility in karmic?
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> !do
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> !dog
[15:42] <friendishan> Binaridragon : it's just a simple anime site http://www.animeslave.co.cc
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> oh its a replacement for cat
[15:42] <Monocian> !cat
[15:42] <maggott> friendishan: just put loads of porn on it and see the traffic go sky high.
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> maniel: seems to stop at jaunty
[15:43] <maniel> yeah
[15:43] <friendishan> !investigate | monocian
[15:43] <mArS_> Can anyone tell me how to connect ubuntu to a wlan from konsole? there are a cupple of networks availible so i also need to list all of them.
[15:43] <friendishan> maggott: lol
[15:43] <Dr_Willis> amgarching:  i belive if you used partimage  instead of dd - you wouldent be haveing to worry about it..   http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page
[15:44] <maniel> ActionParsnip: it was useful as it supported network, so you could look at http headers for example
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> Partimage will only copy data from the used portions of the partition.
[15:44] <maggott> friendishan: preferably furry porn.
[15:44] <maniel> or grep some site code directly:)
[15:44] <bazhang> maggott, please stop that.
[15:44] <dr4g> How can i see if port 3306 can accept remote (non localhost) connections ?  I'm getting no response from my MySQL client however i'm able to get a response locally.
[15:44] <friendishan> maggott: lol i don't want any kinda' that thing on my site. lol kids also come to that site.
[15:44] <Dr_Willis> doh partimage does not support ext4  :) never mind
[15:44] <Binaridragon> dr4g, by deafaul Mysql dont accet remote connectiong
[15:44] <ActionParsnip> maniel: seems quite an abstracted app, you 'could' try the jaunty deb, see if it works
[15:44] <dr4g> Binaridragon, what ?
[15:45] <maggott> bazhang: stop what? Jesus, christ, he asked for a way to increase his traffic count. Stop being a biggot.
[15:45] <erUSUL> dr4g: netstat -putan | grep 3306
[15:45] <bazhang> maggott, keep this channel family friendly

[15:45] <Binaridragon> dr4g, Mysql wont accept Remote connection, only from localhost and that why you are able to connect locally

[15:50] <Sahkolihaa> Rockj: I currently have that problem. It keeps setting my name on MSN back to my email address.
[15:50] <Rockj> Sahkolihaa: mine doesn't even do that. It sets to "RS" which is the two first capital letters of my full name
[15:50] <cant> friendishan  I cant connect but do have a current wireless wpa connected router, my fresh install sees but cannot connect to it
[15:50] <mArS_> ActionParsnip: And then? How do I connect to the network afterwards?
[15:50] <Alan502> Good Morning, just a quick question; where are my synaptic packages downloaded?
[15:50] <Rockj> Sahkolihaa: I'm wondering if some kind of Ubuntu general settings is playing with pidgin
[15:51] <blackxored> anyone?
[15:51] <friendishan> cant have you attached everything correctly?
[15:51] <amgarching> Dr_Willis: quote: "Warning: Partimage does not support ext4 and btrfs filesystems."
[15:51] <erUSUL> dr4g: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-enable-remote-access-to-mysql-database-server.html is this keyword --> bind-address=YOUR-SERVER-IP
[15:51] <Sahkolihaa> Rockj: I'm on Xubuntu and haven't tested it yet (got tired of switching it back).
[15:51] <ActionParsnip> mArS_: once you use the right commands, youwill be connected
[15:51] <Dr_Willis> amgarching:  i said that allready. :) and fsarchiver (mentioned  near that line - has a LOT better feature set it seems)
[15:52] <DeciSnel> mister_roboto, where can i readd the widget?

[15:52] <jfewings_> ActionParsnip, ok it says waiting for interface eth0 before doing nfs mounts
[15:52] <cant> friendishan yes it is.....   my son is using it in the other room on his puter       the iwconfig reports     lo no wireless connection,  etho no wireless connection and wmaster no wireless extention

[15:52] <jfewings_> ActionParsnip, yeah i know, sorry im having a manic day at work anf keep forgetting
[15:52] <Rockj> Sahkolihaa: people are like shouting at me at msn - do you have a virus?  My nickname has never changed in 15 years so
[15:52] <ActionParsnip> jfewings_: np
[15:53] <ActionParsnip> jfewings_: thats fine, nfs mount will fail if the network is unavailable
[15:53] <savisaar2> issues with some keys not working
[15:53] <Sahkolihaa> Rockj: I haven't actually looked up on it since I thought it was just MSN playing up for me since other people's names keep switching to their email addresses too.
[15:53] <mArS_> I now know the essid. What do I have to do now?
[15:53] <jfewings_> ActionParsnip, it is showing up now in lshw so thats all good
[15:53] <Rockj> Sahkolihaa: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/10763
[15:54] <dr4g> erUSUL, i've been instructed to comment this line out instead. I think it's my firewall
[15:54] <ActionParsnip> jfewings_: ok cool, if you run: ifconfig | less     do you have suitable addressing?
[15:54] <erUSUL> dr4g: if you just comment out how can mysql know where to bind?
[15:54] <qdb> hello. can be that ubuntu 9.10 64bit runs in celeron computer?
[15:54] <Sahkolihaa> Rockj: Heh, I wouldn't be surprised if MS did that.
[15:55] <qdb> hello. can be that ubuntu 9.10 64bit live cd runs in celeron computer?
[15:55] <Binaridragon> qdb, nope...only amd64
[15:55] <Rockj> Sahkolihaa: interessting, it might be the website at live. gotto check that out
[15:55] <gentoo4li> qdb no
[15:55] <erUSUL> qdb: check if it is 64 bit compatible
[15:55] <qdb> i have seen that it runned!
[15:55] <jfewings_> ActionParsnip, would appear so....loopback, external which is dhcp and i got a private addy for the gigabit card
[15:55] <gentoo4li> then wh
[15:55] <savisaar2> is anyone had trouble with some keys not working in Koala
[15:55] <dr4g> erUSUL, i'm not sure but the #mysql guys informed me to do that. It must have system defautls.
[15:55] <Binaridragon> gentoo4li, lol mmmm this is an ubuntu channel :/
[15:55] <gentoo4li> y ask
[15:55] <soulwin> hey guys
[15:55] <ActionParsnip> jfewings_: cool
[15:55] <qdb> erUSUL, you think that can be??
[15:55] <Younder> /var/cache/apt/archives
[15:55] <trism> Rockj: I believe it is actually a recent problem with the MSN service itself, because I've been loosing my nick too, as has someone else not even using pidgin...my workaround was to set an alias in pidgin on my account setup page, and that seems to have worked
[15:55] <erUSUL> dr4g: ok
[15:56] <friendishan> cant : ok http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=524483
[15:56] <dr4g> erUSUL, looks like a firewall issue.
[15:56] <gentoo4li> so I can't dual boot :)
[15:56] <qdb> may be it was not real celeron?
[15:56] <erUSUL> qdb: check in the intel site if it supports EMT64

[16:02] <cant> Why in the world would I do that when I have a wireless router being used in the other rroom... I need help connecting my wireless capable laptop
[16:02] <DeciSnel> mister_roboto, it is user problem, creating a new user solves the problem
[16:02] <Younder> soulwin, I don't know, you are a bit vague
[16:02] <mezquitale> cant, under "Users and Groups" check the box that says "connect to wirless and ehternet networks" in "User Privileges", that's what I did anyway

[16:04] <Younder> soulwin, if it is worth enough to you there are specialists that recover harddrives
[16:04] <Younder> soulwin, but it ain't cheap
[16:05] <draconis> djura-san, ~/.xsession , and use a desktop manager which honors it
[16:05] <soulwin> ok...thanks...

[16:06] <amigojapan> what should I do when my sound suddenly stops working? i heard I haveto restart the sound service, what is its namee?
[16:06] <cant> mezquitale  did you have to restart after??  My connection manager is still spinning.. not a good sign
[16:06] <draconis> djuggler, Dr_Willis: oh, thanks, didn't know it remembered it per user, and hadn't heard of dmrc
[16:06] <draconis> xsession is xdm only, I guess
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> draconis:  be sort of bothersome otherwise. :)
[16:06] <[nrx]> anyone had issues with USB devices not showing up in VirtualBox?
[16:06] <Dr_Willis> draconis:  xsession - runs whats in the .Xsession script/file i think
[16:07] <Dr_Willis> draconis:  gdm has a directory of *.desktop files that define the vasrious window managers it shows in its listing
[16:07] <djura-san> so that means that i can set up ~/.xsession and then just create launcher called "xsessions" and use that for startup in gdm?

[16:10] <Dr_Willis> Alan502:   normally the 32bit and 64bit packages are not interchangeable
[16:10] <jfewings_> how do i stop all these notifications in green
[16:10] <DeciSnel> mister_roboto,  the add widget doesnt show when using the right click
[16:11] <Gnimsh> So I'd just like to get some confirmation on this that I am in fact correct... I got an email from my Uni IT dept saying I had a botnet virus that was constantly connecting to undernet on IRC. Only thing is, that was my IRC client doing what I had set it to do. I called and told them its not possible for me to have such a virus because I run linux. The guy refuted that right away. I said "Well sure I could get a virus if I installed it wine but I haven't"
[16:11] <Gnimsh> Who's right?
[16:11] <n8tuser> cant -> are you connected now using same laptop? but using the ethernet cable instead of wifi?

[16:12] <Gnimsh> annoyingly, flash is still very iffy in 64 bit
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> Alan502:  about every app ive ever used has 64bit versions now.
[16:12] <Gnimsh> its while I went back to 32 bit
[16:12] <Dr_Willis> Ive not had any flash issues on my 64bit install.. but it is using the 32bit flash :)
[16:12] <Binaridragon> Alan502, you can install the 32bit lib and 99% of the apps will work
[16:12] <n8tuser> cant tried with no wep or wpa/wpa2  ?
[16:13] <Gnimsh> its why I went back*
[16:13] <lupe> with virtual installed and windows vista pro 32 bit
[16:13] <mezquitale> cant, i didnt reboot my laptop, I also reinstalled network manager and after I reinstalled, it worked fine, I have seen issues with my wireless on my network, very ugly, works just fine on the public library though, try reinstalling and change the permissions
[16:13] <lupe> but i have lost my setting in the network
[16:14] <n8tuser> Milos -> perhaps try a newer firmware? or maybe even older one to see which would work?
[16:14] <BluesKaj> Gnimsh, try this tutorial , note the last command , it's important , http://technologycrowd.com/2009/11/01/installing-64-bit-flash-player-in-ubuntu-9-10-karmic-koala/
[16:14] <Alan502> Binaridragon, if i install the 32 bit library will my apps stored on var/cache/apt  on this 32 bit distribution work on 64 bit?
[16:14] <zero00> is kismet the best util to audit your wifi security?
[16:14] <Gnimsh> I haven't used 64 bit since 8.04
[16:15] <eugene__> hello
[16:15] <Younder> 64 bit is in my experience more troble than it is worth

[16:15] <Gnimsh> I appreciate it BluesKaj, but I'm just not interested in the tweaking required.
[16:16] <BluesKaj> Gnimsh, well, i'm using 64bit without any problems , only one site doesn't work ,and according to some it's poorly written
[16:16] <Younder> eugene__, what kind of change?
[16:16] <Gnimsh> I'm not sure I really care that much about 64 bit right now.
[16:16] <BluesKaj> ok
[16:16] <jfewings_> its made all the difference on my laptop
[16:17] <jfewings_> but its a med spec laptop
[16:17] <jfewings_> so any help is good
[16:17] <jfewings_> and it has helped
[16:17] <Binaridragon> Alan502, you will need to do a new install and then start intalling the apps one by one...ubuntu will automatically will intall the 32 bit library i belive..if you want to install a .deb file manually there are some settings you have to steawk but not something out the normal

[16:20] <Binaridragon> ubottu, !MD5 | Turtle
[16:20] <OttifantSir> erUSUL: I know sudo gives root access, but I needed to know the root password because it was the root password that was asked for when trying to forward ports in an SSH-command.

[16:22] <Younder> you can add one throgh sudo passwd root, but it is not recomended
[16:22] <LjL> Binaridragon: it's discouraged. there is no need for you to explain how to do that especially if it wasn't asked.
[16:22] <erUSUL> Binaridragon: so?
[16:23] <erUSUL> !wfm | Binaridragon

[16:24] <erUSUL> OttifantSir: you should run the program that asks for root password with sudo if possible
[16:24] <LjL> Goqw: kdebase just installs the libraries, AFAIK. that's not enough.
[16:24] <Binaridragon> erUSUL, sorry was just trying to help the guy
[16:24] <erUSUL> Binaridragon: no need to be sorry; just letting you know the policy of the channel

[16:30] <dtownhero> eugene: these guys are giving you incorrect directions
[16:30] <dtownhero> you're trying to change your login window
[16:30] <Alan502> lupe, try #virtualbox
[16:30] <dtownhero> you need to add it in login window - not gnome theme
[16:30] <andrewboktor> guys, ubuntu doesn't boot up, it only displayed the splash and then stopped with a back screen after that
[16:30] <dtownhero> gdm is BEFORE gnome.
[16:30] <DSheth> help !!
[16:30] <Dr_Willis> the gdm in 9.10 is not very themeable...
[16:31] <bazhang> dserban, with what
[16:31] <dtownhero> ^^ that too
[16:31] <Alan502> lupe, i think your problem can be fixed installing guest additions, select the menu option when running the virtual machine
[16:31] <bazhang> dserban, mis tab
[16:31] <Younder> dtownhero, ahh, that's what he wants
[16:31] <bazhang> DSheth, with what

[16:31] <dtownhero> not very customizable in 9.10
[16:31] <Younder> dtownhero, I thought he ment the login screen
[16:31] <Dr_Willis> !find libgfortran.so
[16:31] <andrewboktor> i disable the splash and remove quiet as well, and then  "boot from (hd0,4) ext3)
[16:31] <Younder> dtownhero, not the splash screen
[16:32] <andrewboktor> and then some strange code, then stopped
[16:32] <andrewboktor> any ideas?

[16:50] <ubuntu_> hello
[16:50] <tHW> erUSUL: 9.04
[16:50] <Jimi_Neutral> gnim
[16:50] <DSheth> it says libgfortran.so.1 cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory, i installed gofortran and older versions too
[16:50] <Jimi_Neutral> Gnimsh, how do i do that from command line
[16:50] <tHW> Where is the paste link?
[16:50] <mezquitale> !paste
[16:51] <llutz> DSheth: type "ldd $(which <your-fortran-app>)"
[16:51] <Binaridragon> DSheth, sorry cant help with that
[16:51] <tHW> erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/326226/
[16:51] <llutz> DSheth: "sudo updatedb && locate libgfortran.so.1"
[16:52] <DSheth> LLutz how do i do that
[16:52] <Binaridragon> llutz, he needs to run updatedb before doing a locate...the db will not be updated without that
[16:52] <llutz> DSheth: add  that path to /etc/ld.so.conf
[16:52] <Dr_Willis> ampex:  grub2 is radically different from grub1 :)
[16:52] <OttifantSir> Does anyone know how I can get back access to the CUPS webinterface? Somehow, it's inaccessible from a 9.04 machine over LAN to a 8.04.3 Server. I believe it may be because I followed this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo , (especially the Portmap Lockdown part)
[16:52] <llutz> Binaridragon: please read what i wrote
[16:52] <DSheth> i am new to ubuntu
[16:53] <Dr_Willis> OttifantSir:  as a work around, you could ssh into the box, and run a browser (that way its running on the cups server 'localhost' interface)
[16:53] <llutz> DSheth: open a terminal, type that above in.
[16:53] <DSheth> ok i did that
[16:53] <DSheth> i see files with libgfortran.so.1
[16:54] <OttifantSir> Dr_Willis: I don't know how to use a text-based browser, so I would like to get it to work as it was supposed to, if possible
[16:54] <erUSUL> tHW: you have to check if the uuid's of your paritions changed . run blkid and check the values agianst the ones listed in menu.lst
[16:54] <DSheth> how do i add that path to /etc/ld.so.conf
[16:54] <OttifantSir> Dr_Willis: Meaning a GUI
[16:54] <Younder> ignore llutz
[16:54] <Dream-Ubu> usb startup disk creator is missing the linux image +_+'
[16:54] <Dream-Ubu> its dont it twice now
[16:54] <Younder> that would be disasterous
[16:55] <llutz> DSheth: sudo nano /etc/ld.so.conf
[16:55] <DSheth> then what do i do?
[16:55] <DSheth> some wierd thing can up in terminal
[16:55] <DSheth> came up
[16:56] <llutz> DSheth: ups sry, they changed to conf.d, close nano
[16:56] <tHW> erUSUL: ok
[16:56] <jocco> hello, I have installed Xorg wacom, and wacom tools package... I googles and they suggested some kernel module to make it work... anyway , my question is, how do I get my wacom tablet working in ubuntu 9.10 TIA
[16:56] <Dr_Willis> OttifantSir:  if you ssh -X remote, you can run any X app and it will appear locally
[16:56] <llutz> DSheth: "sudo nano /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libfortran.conf"  and add the path in that (empty) file
[16:56] <Dr_Willis> OttifantSir:  no need to use a text based browser. run firefox, or dilo, or opera or whatever
[16:57] <DSheth> do i just type the path in
[16:57] <Guest44980> hey fellas, is anyone else still having trouble with random freezes while watching video?
[16:57] <llutz> DSheth: yes, then save/exit, "sudo ldconfig -v"
[16:58] <jocco> Guest44980, I use download helper, then just watch videos in VLC, Flash in firefox is broken
, that's amazing, i didn't know that
[16:58] <Binaridragon> Dr_Willis, love that feature
[16:58] <jocco> download helper is a firefox extension
[16:58] <Guest44980> Jocco: what about with mplayer or vlc? no crashes?
[16:58] <tHW> erUSUL:  There is no UUID: in the menu file
[16:58] <llutz> DSheth: then try your fortran again
[16:59] <erUSUL> tHW: there a re a lot
[16:59] <jocco> Guest44980, get VLC and all the non-free codecs and you will be fine, the GNU codecs are not really verry good yet
[16:59] <tHW> Scratch that
[16:59] <erUSUL> tHW: line 134 of your paste uuid7144784b-f130-498d-a7b2-774ed7c13c47
[16:59] <Guest44980> mmm...unfortunately that hasn't been my experience jocco.
[16:59] <erUSUL> tHW: and from there on
[16:59] <Guest44980> i have a custom compiled mplayer with non-free codecs
[17:00] <Dr_Willis> manug:  ssh fundamentals :)
[17:00] <Guest44980> and i experience random crashes.
[17:00] <Guest44980> i think it's related to my intel gfx.
[17:00] <Binaridragon> Guest44980, just get vlc player...sudo apt-get install vlc
[17:00] <Guest44980> somehow.
[17:00] <DSheth> LLutz how do i save and close
[17:00] <Guest44980> i have vlc player.
[17:00] <manug> Dr_Willis -- yeah, glad i learned something=)
[17:00] <llutz> DSheth: ctrl-x  (i guess)
[17:00] <Guest44980> latest repos.
[17:00] <jocco> sorry to hear that, Guest44980 .... every computer is a bit diffrent, cant win them all I guess... try the mplayer in synaptic, it might get a your a missing dependancy you may have overlooked when compileing
[17:00] <Azanoth> Hi everyone: I want Ubuntu 9.10 to automatically mount my windows partition on startup. I added '/dev/sda1 /mnt/windrive ntfs ro,umask=0222 0 0' to /etc/fstab and rebooted. Nothing. sudo mount -a responds 'fuse: mount failed: device or resource busy.'
[17:00] <Guest44980> i've read some other peeps out there have the same issues.
[17:01] <Guest44980> cheers jocco.
[17:01] <Guest44980> i think it was because i upgraded from 9.04 instead of doing a clean 9.10 install.
[17:01] <Guest44980> that may be where my problem lies.
[17:01] <dcider> when a print job finishes a small black notification box appears in the top right corner of the screen using 9.10, any idea what its called???
[17:01] <grawity> dcider: The black box is displayed by notify-osd.
[17:02] <LordHawke13> Does anyone know where I can get ACE and Macintosh DMG plugins for Archive Manager?
[17:02] <dcider> grawity, thx
[17:02] <grawity> dcider: But there are other ones - older Ubuntu versions used to use notification-daemon.
[17:02] <aaron11> Pleas
[17:02] <jocco> Guest44980, yes always do a clean install, making a seperate /home partition is a good idea too keep data safe when experementing... I have 2 linux, and 2 windows on this system
[17:02] <tHW> erUSUL: That UUID (for ubuntu) is correct however opensuse is not listed
[17:02] <jocco> esquire, ^^^
[17:02] <bjorn> Hi. How do I set up a wireless network with ubuntu and WindowsXP
[17:02] <grawity> dcider: And there's xfnotify too. All these are interchangeable.
[17:02] <bjorn> ?
[17:02] <esquire> :) heheheh thanks jocco.
[17:02] <tHW> erUSUL as a UUID
[17:03] <LordHawke13> There was one time when Archive Manager opened a Macintosh Disc Image like an archive.
[17:03] <LordHawke13> I was surprised
