[13:46] <rpmdeb> what is the exact equivalent in the debian  or ubuntu world of the command   rpm -qa --last      ???
[13:48] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: grep -i inst /var/log/dpkg.log | tail
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: works great here
[13:49] <salvatore_> ActionParsnip: other news, if i run "lspci | grep net" i don't see my wlan card..
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: does:  sudo lshw -C network     show it?
[13:49] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: lspci only shows devices on the pci bus
[13:50] <salvatore_> ActionParsnip: the first command shows it
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: could be usb based then
[13:50] <rpmdeb> ActionParsnip, nearly nearly. apart from listed as half-installed  which can cause confusion
[13:50] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: then pipe it into egrep, you get the idea
[13:51] <rpmdeb> no i do not
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: but like I said earlier, that IS the file you need
[13:51] <salvatore_> ActionParsnip: ok, could be usb based.. then? What I can try to do?
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: jeez, gimme a sec then
[13:51] <rpmdeb> ok
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: grep -i inst /var/log/dpkg.log | grep -v half | tail
[13:52] <salvatore_> ActionParsnip: I thinked install the 2.6.35 version of kernel instead 2.6.38, do you think that can help?
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: you could have found that yourself with a little searching
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> salvatore_: a Maverick kernel in Natty, doesn't sound good
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> rpmdeb: pipes are very powerful
[13:54] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: help, now that ive changed it with nomodeset, ubuntu loaded one time, and it downloaded my graphics card driver (nvidea) the recommended one, now, in the grub menu, its giving me two options, Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-8-generic and Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-8-generic (recovery mode) but when I choose either one, it says: error no such device: no such disk, you need to load the kernal first

[14:04] <Kr3m1in> Everybody is looking at the bottom posts for the most recent.
[14:04] <jll> kr3mlin, if you are using the new mint 11, it has major problems with that, which is why I had to go back to ubuntu.
[14:05] <Kr3m1in> jll: I am using Ubuntu 11.04 Unity
[14:05] <bazhang> Kr3m1in, repeat every 15-20 minutes of so. give a ton more details than you have. Your question is way too vague
[14:06] <jll> I was told that it had a lot of problems, I'm using the 10 version. a lot better.

[14:07] <nawk> Hi, I have a non-technical question about package name convention for Ubuntu
[14:07] <bazhang> Kr3m1in, that is not clear at all.
[14:07] <Kr3m1in> bazhang: I can't access my files, and I can't do anything on my desktop.
[14:08] <jll> wow, 243 files has to download!!
[14:08] <Kr3m1in> bazhang: Simple - I click on the application 'Home Folder' and it will not open. OR it will open, and freeze shortly after opening.
[14:08] <nawk> I find that most (all?) packages for ubuntu are in the form: <software_name>-<revision>-<num>ubuntu<num>

[14:08] <danslo> since it was just released, will firefox 5 make its way into ubuntu 11.04? or do we have to wait for oneiric

[14:08] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: faster than anything I have by miles
[14:08] <bazhang> danslo, perhaps a ppa or backports
[14:08] <maahes> am I doing something wrong with pastebinit? I keep trying to tell it to use a different pastebin than ubuntu's, and it keeps telling me it doesn't know anything about another pastebin, even though the pastebin is in the list of supported bins?

[14:09] <ActionParsnip> wols: I don't wear a tinfoil hat
[14:09] <bazhang> danslo, perhaps backports
[14:10] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: but why can't I get ubuntu to load now, why is it saying I have to load the kernel first

[14:20] <bazhang> classico, unity-2d
[14:21] <classico> bazhang, does not make much difference
[14:21] <bazhang> classico, then add global menu to classic I suppose and a dock, not quite the same though
[14:22] <bazhang> classico, globalmenu is indicator-applet-appmenu package
[14:22] <classico> bazhang, yeah i figured i'd loose the true unity interface if i try to make it lighter

[14:24] <clarkthehardy910> should I ignore it?
[14:24] <jll> kr3mlin, I told you that the newest ubuntu has problems, get rid of it and put in something else!
[14:24] <epzil0n> clarkthehardy910: what when you reinstalled grub?
[14:24] <zaksoldier> How is life
[14:24] <clarkthehardy910> epzil0n: yes
[14:25] <moystard> jll, like what?
[14:25] <thegladiator> else ? jll what is the option you are suggesting . yes Natty seems to be pretty buggy any reasons
[14:25] <epzil0n> clarkthehardy910: did you boot that fast from a live cd and then did all the steps?
[14:25] <zaksoldier> !info hi
[14:25] <jll> Mint 10 worked great for me, but if you like ubuntu use the version before the newest one, it's more stable.
[14:25] <Sidewinder1> Kr3m1in_, Perhaps you have a bad install. Did you Md5sum the iSO image prior to burning? If so and the hash agrees, did you burn at the slowest speed? If so, did you try to reinstall? Just some thoughts.

[14:32] <operhiem1> When I install the restricted ATI drivers, my sound card disappears and the HDMI on my graphics card shows up.
[14:32] <operhiem1> I should clarify that this is through the restricted drivers manager GUI.
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> operhiem1: in sound options you may be able to switch the sound device to the sound card
[14:33] <operhiem1> ActionParsnip: No, because the sound card isn't listed under sound preferences despite being listed in the output of aplay -l.
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> operhiem1: strange. Can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh
[14:38] <operhiem1> ActionParsnip: http://dark-code.bulix.org/01i16z-80104
[14:38] <operhiem1> I notice that snd-hda-intel is loaded twice.
[14:38] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: if install completed without errors this time, but I'm still getting the same errors: no such device, no such disk, need to load the kernel first
[14:38] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: is my ubuntu partition toast or something?
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: could fsck it in livecd
[14:41] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: ok thanks
[14:41] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: is that going to format it?
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> clarkthehardy910: no it's like chkdsk in windows
[14:43] <Jarvis> Afternoon all, does anyone know how to get apt/dpkg to list why something is getting installed? i'm upgrading a package and i need to know where a package is being pulled in from
[14:43] <Jarvis> all i know right now is the package is being pulled in, but i can't see where from :s
[14:43] <clarkthehardy910> ActionParsnip: ok, thanks
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> operhiem1: my sound troubleshooting sucks but that output will help others
[14:44] <mun_> hi
[14:44] <mun_> does anyone know how to restart alsa?
[14:45] <Guest43320> anyone can help me to increase my shared vram?
[14:45] <saburo> hi guys. Someone have tried to use TV as hdmi monitor using natty?
[14:45] <wols> Guest43320: you do that in BIOS normally
[14:46] <Guest43320> in bios says i have 8mb but i can not select it
[14:46] <Guest43320> but my laptop has up to 385
[14:46] <nj3ma> Attempts to install Ubuntu Karmic on Compaq CQ6x always end up in mute PC
[14:47] <nj3ma> Anyone care to explain why
[14:47] <wols> Guest43320: different chipsets have a different amount
[14:47] <Guest43320> so how can i change it
[14:47] <Guest43320> ?
[14:47] <Sidewinder1> nj3ma, Karmic is EOL
[14:48] <Sidewinder1> !eol > nj3ma
[14:48] <nj3ma> And has situation viz a viz Compaq Cq62x audio/sound drivers improved in Ubuntu Natty?
[14:48] <Sidewinder1> nj3ma, I prefer LTS; you might try Lucid, 10.04.
[14:49] <REK_007> Which torrent client on ubuntu has local peer discovery feature ?
[14:50] <nj3ma> How/where would i find and install Audio/Sound drivers for Compaq Cq6x laptops for Ubuntu?
[14:50] <moystard> Honestly the only concern I have with 11.04 is the OpenGl poor performance because of unity.
[14:50] <Sidewinder1> REK_007, Not sure that it has what you want but I like Azureus, currently known as Vuze.
[14:50] <edbian> moystard: Wanna chat in #ubuntu-offtopic?
[14:51] <REK_007> Sidewinder1: vuze has a difficult user interface as far as i have seen :( . Any other client . meanwhile am trying vuze again
[14:51] <moystard> edbian, was just responding to people saying they should use the LTS version.
[14:52] <zaksoldier> !info u
[14:52] <zaksoldier> U
[14:52] <edbian> moystard: oh.  I just wanted someone to talk to :P
[14:52] <REK_007> when is the next LTS version planned ?
[14:52] <zaksoldier> Sorry
[14:53] <Sidewinder1> REK_007, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29
[14:53] <gbili> hello, i have a problem with sound, i had sound at login but there is no more sound for music...
[14:53] <Guest50034> can anyone help me to increase my shared vram?
[14:54] <Guest50034> can anyone help me to increase my shared vram???
[14:54] <edbian> Guest50034: You do that in the bios I think.
[14:55] <zaksoldier> How can I make ram in hard-disk because the real ram is low
[14:55] <zaksoldier> Ram file
[14:55] <sudokill> zak its just swap
[14:55] <sudokill> space
[14:55] <edbian> zaksoldier: The real ram will always be faster than HDD ram.  What you're talking about is swap though.  Which is useful
[14:55] <zaksoldier> Ohh ok swap
[14:55] <Guest50034> but in bios i can't select the section where it shows me my vram
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: you will have swap space, or you can use a swap file
[14:55] <sudokill> zak do u have a seperate partiton for swap?
[14:56] <sudokill> if so it would be a lot of messing about to increase it
[14:56] <jnlsnl_> I just did a tiger security test, and the report tell me that /dev/fuse and /dev/rfkill has "world permissions", but is the appropriate chmod for these two ?
[14:56] <wols> Guest50034: then ask whoever sold you your hardware. it's clearly not a ubuntu problem
[14:56] <zaksoldier> I will do
[14:56] <jnlsnl_> but = what
[14:56] <llutz> zaksoldier: create a swapfile, add it to your /etc/fstab
[14:56] <WXZ> how can I set the group permissions of a directory and it's subdirectories?
[14:57] <zaksoldier> File system tab
[14:57] <llutz> WXZ: man chgrp
[14:57] <FireStorms> Should everything in /var/www/ be owned by www-data?
[14:57] <Guest50034> can i update my bios in ubuntu?
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> WXZ: sudo chmod -R permissions folder
[14:57] <edbian> WXZ: Do you wanna change the group that owns them or the permissions the owning group has?
[14:57] <llutz> WXZ: + man chown (-R)
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Guest50034: on some Dells, yes
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Guest50034: other things, not so sure
[14:57] <WXZ> edbian: group that owns them
[14:57] <Guest50034> and how do i do that?
[14:57] <WXZ> also, like 5 people answered
[14:58] <edbian> WXZ: What is the owner that owns them?
[14:58] <sudokill> Guest50034, ur better off updating ur bios from the bios if u can
[14:58] <edbian> WXZ: Yes but none did what I you want I think.
[14:58] <operhiem1> ActionParsnip: I found someone asking an eerily similar question here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/39024/no-sound-after-installing-catalyst-11-4 They, too, followed that guide for installing Catalyst.
[14:58] <WXZ> edbian: nvm, I think I can figure it out from chown
[14:58] <zaksoldier> Yeeeehaaaa
[14:58] <zaksoldier> Thanks
[14:58] <WXZ> no, they did
[14:58] <edbian> WXZ: yep :)  it's chown -R user:group /path/to/file/
[14:58] <Guest50034> so there's no other way to increase my vram?
[14:59] <Sidewinder1> sudo chown works better. :-)
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: ram is super cheap, is there no upgrade option for you
[14:59] <operhiem1> I have sound working now, but only in stereo. It will have to do for now.
[14:59] <WXZ> edbian: what if the user I give and the group I give don't exist?
[14:59] <WXZ> will it give me an error?
[14:59] <edbian> WXZ: Yes, you cannot do that.
[14:59] <zaksoldier> Like 2 GB DDR 3
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> that'd cause all manner of hell if you could
[14:59] <edbian> WXZ: You will get an error.  (Why would you wanna do that?)
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: if your motherboard supports it, sure
[15:00] <zaksoldier> Ok
[15:00] <WXZ> edbian: I don't, I just wanted to know if stuff would mess up if I made a typo
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: just found some in the UK for 17 GBP. Super cheap
[15:00] <edbian> WXZ: I don't think it would even let you.
[15:00] <zaksoldier> Size
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: 2Gb DDR3
[15:01] <sudokill> eBuyer is a great uk site for pc bits
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: are you UK based?
[15:01] <FireStorms> What should www-data own exactly, anyone?
[15:01] <WXZ> edbian: do I have to restart for the changes to take effect?
[15:01] <mongrel> fire~ what do u mean?
[15:01] <edbian> WXZ: No, you can view the changes of chmod / chown using ls -l
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> zaksoldier: i'm sure you can find somewhere close to you
[15:01] <WXZ> ok, well I'm doing something wrong then
[15:01] <g0k1ll> hi...
[15:02] <edbian> WXZ: What are you running?
[15:02] <mongrel> guys do u know what i have to do to change login screen appearance? couse in gdmsetup i got only 3 or 4 options, nothing about themes or backgrounds
[15:02] <g0k1ll> i want to hack website..................but i dont know were to start........so please advice me guys
[15:02] <operatorplik> tampilan billing saya tidak mau muncul. bagaimana cara mengatasinya
[15:02] <WXZ> edbian: I'm trying to create a symlink to another user's profile so that virtual box uses the same profile for both users
[15:02] <sudokill> g0k1ll, hack ur own site or some other one?

[15:03] <crayon> hi, i
[15:03] <eekTheCat> 0/win 8
[15:03] <WXZ> edbian: so I changed the group which owns it to a group which has both users in it, or will that not do the trick?
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> mongrel: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[15:03] <ghogaru> where's sabdfl?
[15:03] <Sidewinder1> !ot > g0k1ll
[15:03] <edbian> WXZ: ln -s /path/to/your/vbox/folder/ /path/to/his/virtualbox/.folder
[15:03] <crayon> i want to compile test driver.. but unable to it..
[15:03] <edbian> WXZ: That will create the link (it replaces his .virtualbox folder) right?
[15:03] <WXZ> edbian: symlink is already there
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> mongrel: you MUST run step 6 after the change or it will bother you each login
[15:04] <FireStorms> g0k1ll, I feel sorry for intelligent members of the Ubuntu community for having to put up with the likes of this
[15:04] <crayon> i m taking reference frm ldd
[15:04] <edbian> WXZ: ok, so no need to check that.  Don't try to change the permissions of the link itself (those aren't important).
[15:04] <mongrel> thx ActionParsnip
[15:04] <edbian> WXZ: so you wanna do something like chown -R you:yourGroup /path/to/your/.vbox
[15:04] <WXZ> edbian: I'm not, and even if I did, wouldn't it change the permissions of what's-being-linked-to instead of the link itself anyway?
[15:04] <neo_> Anyone know any semi-advanced python channel?
[15:05] <WXZ> edbian: yes, and I did that
[15:05] <beate> Hi there! I need help on formatting a usb hard-drive. Right now, it's completely messed up - how to get just one clean ext3 partition (just for regular files)?
[15:05] <wols> neo_: #python
[15:05] <edbian> WXZ: so what does ls -l show in your virtualbox folder?
[15:05] <sudokill> beate, just use the disk utility
[15:05] <beate> sudokill: disk utility?
[15:05] <operatorplik> halaman billing operator-plik munculnya tulisan Oops..not for script kiddies! apa maksudnya?
[15:05] <neo_> wols: right
[15:05] <sudokill> beate, i think 11.04 has it if not install the gnome disk utility
[15:05] <sudokill> and click format drive (as whatever type u want)
[15:06] <damian_-_> hi, in wine games the menu is constantly scrolling as if the forward key is pressed. anyone had this issue?
[15:06] <WXZ> edbian: something lucid vboxusers 1234 date name-of-file
[15:06] <wols> operatorplik: this is an english only channel. please respect that
[15:06] <WXZ> edbian: that for every file
[15:06] <beate> sudokill: hm, is there a way to do it via the command line?
[15:06] <sudokill> fdisk
[15:06] <edbian> beate: Use gparted (it will erase everything on the drive)
[15:06] <beate> edbian: i will try that!
[15:06] <crayon> how can i compile test driver on ubuntu
[15:06] <wols> beate: do you know the device file it uses?
[15:06] <edbian> WXZ: something ?  Can you pastebin it?
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> beate: or you can use fdisk and mk2fs
[15:07] <zaksoldier> Sorry I disconnected  immediately
[15:07] <edbian> beate: fdisk / mk2fs are cli
[15:07] <mBull> hi
[15:07] <WXZ> edbian: the something is permissions, http://pastebin.com/3QRzmB18
[15:07] <wols> crayon: like in any other linux distro. with gcc.  apt-get install build-essential. you probably also want the linux headers for your running kernel
[15:07] <sudokill> beate, gparted is the best way
[15:07] <sudokill> beate, fdisk works fine but gparted is safer
[15:07] <mBull> How can i change directory to a mounted disk
[15:07] <operatorplik> saya tidak bisa mengakses halaman OPERATOR PLIK mohon bantuan..
[15:08] <mBull> like in windows f:, c:
[15:08] <wols> mBull: cd /path/to/mount/point
[15:08] <zaksoldier> !info fdisk
[15:08] <operhiem1> If comparison helps, here http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=fe19361e761db0be045a6c566afcebc7a5273b95 I have stereo output working but not front panel input. Here http://dark-code.bulix.org/01i16z-80104?raw my sound card didn't show up under sound preferences at all. It's worth noting that now that the sound works, my graphics card's HDMI audio output does not appear in sound prefences.
[15:08] <sudokill> mBull, cd
[15:08] <edbian> WXZ: Who is lucid?  Are you on a live CD?
[15:08] <sudokill> mBull, its usually under /media
[15:08] <WXZ> edbian: lucid is me
[15:08] <WXZ> no, I'm not on a CD
[15:08] <mBull> strange thing is in /media there is nothing
[15:08] <edbian> WXZ: So it is the correct user and the correct group?
[15:08] <WXZ> yes
[15:08] <sudokill> mBull, try /mnt
[15:08] <wols> mBull: how do you know it's mounted?
[15:09] <crayon> wols, can u give me some links
[15:09] <sudokill> mBull, does the drive show up in the nautilus or whatever
[15:09] <wols> crayon: google kernelnewbies
[15:09] <mBull> i typed /mounted
[15:09] <sudokill> mBull, maybe its not mounted
[15:09] <sudokill> mBull, type df
[15:09] <WXZ> edbian: let me just try to reboot for the heck of it, see what happens
[15:09] <beate> edbian: so I have deleted everything using gparted. Now I'll create a single new one - primary or extended? (I want to use the usb harddrive for data like a "big usb stick")
[15:09] <edbian> WXZ: I think the problem is that group owner can't write.
[15:09] <WXZ> edbian: lol
[15:09] <wols> beate: primary
[15:10] <edbian> beate: Primary.  extended is for adding more than 4 partitions to a hdd
[15:10] <WXZ> edbian: I had the VBox open in the first user while trying to open it in the second user
[15:10] <sudokill> mBull, type df and see if / where its mounted then u can cd into it
[15:10] <edbian> WXZ silly WXZ
[15:10] <crayon> wols, i tried example from ldd, as it is but giving lots of errors on ubuntu 11.4
[15:10] <beate> edbian: ah, I see. thank you
[15:10] <WXZ> I'm pretty sure that was the problem
[15:10] <edbian> beate: sure
[15:10] <wols> crayon: what is "ldd"?
[15:10] <crayon> linux divice driver, 2nd edition

[15:12] <wols> crayon: do you plan to use windows 98 books for writing windows 7 device drivers too?
[15:12] <crayon> its based on 2.25 nd later kernel
[15:12] <mBull> it gives me names like sdb1, sdc1, is there a way to see wich name is for what disk?
[15:12] <crayon> not at all
[15:12] <sudokill> mBull, u should be able to tell by the size of it
[15:12] <mBull> all the same size :)
[15:12] <sudokill> unless they are the same size
[15:12] <sudokill> type fdisk -l
[15:13] <sudokill> mBull, cant u just go into the file manager and see
[15:14] <mBull> no, it's cli only
[15:14] <cba123> I'm sharing files from a mdadm RAID5 over NFS.  When I try to play a video, it plays fine for a bit, then stalls, then plays fine again.

[15:14] <sudokill> mBull, why no gui?
[15:14] <wols> mBull: check your kernel log then
[15:14] <sudokill> ok
[15:14] <beate> edbian: so, /dev/sdb1 is formatted ext3. How can I mount that into some homedirectory and be able to write to it as non-root?
[15:15] <sudokill> beate, do mount /dev/sdb1 /home/whatever
[15:15] <edbian> beate: first mount it (the proper place is in /mnt) but you can put it in any empty folder in your /home
[15:15] <operatorplik> server tidak bisa membuka halaman : //localhost/billing/operaator.php.    apa sebabnya?
[15:16] <nj3ma> Audio drivers /No sound issue for CompaqCQ 6x series laptop been resolved?
[15:16] <beate> edbian: right. But doing so sets the permissions to root
[15:16] <edbian> beate: Then chown -R you /path/to/that/folder (which makes you the owner of the whole thing
[15:16] <edbian> beate: chown it
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> nj3ma: can you give the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh
[15:16] <wols> beate: change the permissions of the mountpoint then
[15:16] <beate> edbian: chown everytime I mount?
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> btw all, did my cloak work this time?
[15:17] <edbian> beate: No, only once
[15:17] <wols> beate: _before_ you mount it
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> wols: doing it just for you :)
[15:17] <edbian> wols: no...
[15:17] <beate> wols, edbian : let me try!
[15:17] <edbian> beate: After you've mounted it
[15:17] <sudokill> beate, as long as u keep the mount point only once
[15:17] <wols> ActionParsnip: good. 2 less lines of spam in #ubuntu
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> wols: thats important. Again, thanks for the heads up
[15:17] <wols> edbian: no
[15:17] <mac_> vvdj
[15:17] <edbian> beate: But you will have to mount it every time if you don't but an entry into fstab
[15:20] <REK_007> can anyone help  in setting up rtorrent + webUI on ubuntu 11.04 desktop [not a server]
[15:21] <Guest65907> hi
[15:21] <wols> REK_007: just do it and come back when you have an error or something doesn't work as intended. open ended questions like this are never good
[15:22] <REK_007> wols: actually every guide is made for a server setup with light ftp . So i really dont know what to do . Am asking if anyone did it then he can guide me
[15:22] <REK_007> and for a local PC i dont need the ftp /ssh part
[15:22] <operhiem1> REK_007: What have you tried so far? What is not working?
[15:23] <REK_007> operhiem1: I have installed rtorrent
[15:23] <sudokill> REK_007, do u just want the web gui for the sake of it being better looking then?
[15:23] <REK_007> and rutorrent
[15:23] <edbian> REK_007: transmission is probably easier if all you want is a web client
[15:23] <REK_007> sudokill: yeah so that i can manage better :)
[15:23] <beate> edbian: seems to work
[15:23] <sudokill> i was gona say just use transmssion
[15:23] <edbian> beate: Yeah?
[15:23] <edbian> beate: Good
[15:23] <beate> edbian, wols : thank you both very much!
[15:23] <sudokill> transmission is better than rtorrent imo (although i use rtorrent)
[15:23] <REK_007> sudokill: I use deluge BTW .
[15:23] <edbian> beate: You should put something in /etc/fstab so that you don't have to mount it everytime
[15:23] <REK_007> but it doesnt have the local peer discovery
[15:23] <sudokill> REK_007, transmission is v lightweight and simple its the best for a single torrent client
[15:23] <REK_007> feature
[15:24] <sudokill> REK_007, yes it does...
[15:24] <beate> edbian, wols : I'll be back in 5min!
[15:24] <sudokill> im pretty sure
[15:24] <REK_007> deluge does?
[15:24] <edbian> beate: ok?
[15:24] <REK_007> or transmission ?
[15:24] <sudokill> REK_007, no transmission
[15:24] <REK_007> ok
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> transmission here due to transgui and my phone likes it too :)
[15:25] <andreiberceanu> hi guys
[15:26] <mBull> ok i think i found something, when df -a only sdb1 shows up, if fdisk -l there are more then 1 disk show up
[15:26] <mBull> so I haven't mounted them right?
[15:26] <edbian> mBull: df -h shows mounts
[15:26] <wols> mBull: yes. df or mount only show mounted partitions. fdisk shows them all
[15:26] <mBull> well same output
[15:26] <andreiberceanu> i installed ubuntu via wubi from windows 7, and it seems i ran out of space now and grub presents me with the command line interface instead of booting - what can i do?
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> edbian: df -h only shows partition space ;)
[15:27] <mBull> df -h only show my sdb1 but with fdisk -l it shows sdc and sda
[15:27] <mBull> so this means sda and sdc aren't mounted
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> andreiberceanu: can you drop to root recovery mode?
[15:27] <edbian> mBull: sdc and sda are not mounted.  That is right
[15:28] <mBull> ok thanks :)
[15:28] <andreiberceanu> ActionParsnip, hmm how can i try that?
[15:28] <mBull> better make them automount :)
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> andreiberceanu: hold shift at boot, select recovery mode then select root. You can then run:  sudo apt-get clean   you may also want to uninstall some old unused kernels
[15:29] <andreiberceanu> you mean the recovery mode in grub?
[15:30] <ActionParsnip>  andreiberceanu yes
[15:30] <andreiberceanu> i can still boot into the windows 7 from which i installed buntu but i guess i cant free up space from here can i
[15:30] <mBull> nice, found the names of the drives at there sdba sdbc, sdb names :)
[15:30] <ActionParsnip> andreiberceanu: no, unfortunately not
[15:30] <mBull> ls /dev/disk/by-id -alh
[15:30] <andreiberceanu> ActionParsnip, ok ill give it a try, brb

[15:33] <mBull> m4lvin no expert but have checked your jacks ?
[15:33] <mBull> output jacks
[15:33] <mBull> when crackling appears most of the time its caused by broken input / ouput jacks
[15:34] <NFischer> How do i kill a selfmade skript wich runs in the background?!
[15:34] <m4lvin> mBull: you mean hardware? yes, it crackles even with headphones directly in the usb soundcard.
[15:34] <m4lvin> NFischer: htop -> F9
[15:34] <mBull> tried other usb port?
[15:34] <NFischer> m477, i need to automate the killing
[15:35] <m477> :)
[15:35] <NFischer> its a makro wich is supposed to be killed when i want to use another makro (hotkeyed)
[15:35] <andreiberceanu> ActionParsnip, gave it a try, doesnt work
[15:35] <m4lvin> mBull: yes. the card is a sound blaster x-fi and the problem seems known around the forums but nobody solved it yet.
[15:35] <andreiberceanu> doesnt display the boot menu at all, goes straight into grub command-line
[15:36] <mBull> can't help you with linux codes sry
[15:36] <ActionParsnip> andreiberceanu: hmm, wubi isn't a thing I'm great with. Maybe others can advise. you may be able to boot liveCD, mount the wubi image and free up some space. Wubi makes things harder like this as the data is stored on an image on NTFS so it's not as simple as a true install
[15:37] <andreiberceanu> ok, can anyone help with freeing up some space on a wubi install?
[15:38] <robin0800> andreiberceanu, only the right shift works for me
[15:40] <andreiberceanu> robin0800, but this is just to display the boot menu right?
[15:41] <robin0800> yes
[15:44] <sanjayb> strange issue: installed ubuntu 11.04 on a friend's machine - the internet works (browser, etc) but i cannot connect to any repository servers (apt-get update fails) .
[15:45] <tehnef> sanjayb: strange indeed. are you getting an error from apt?
[15:46] <sanjayb> tehnef: i think the request is just timing out - one sec..
[15:47] <sanjayb> tehnef: never mind, seems to work now :-P
[15:47] <sanjayb> tehnef: my isp does some weird things sometimes .. ah welll ...
[15:48] <Chotaz> how can I move an entire directory from the desktop to another folder? I tried sudo mv bitshop /var and it says the directory is not empty.
[15:53] <marel> Is there any way to lower video's quality without downloading some converter ?
[15:55] <sanjayb> Chotaz: mv sourcefolder/ destfolder/

[15:56] <MagicJ> I have a memory stick that someone encrypted.  I do not need any of the data from it.  How do I format it, or equivalent so that it is like new
[15:57] <null__> you want to say you stoled someone usb_stick :P
[15:58] <koshieFinalReliz> MagicJ, hi
[15:58] <DamnSoGooD> hey guys, how can i enable shared folder in virtualbox? i have made a shared folder but it ain't showing inside the guest os
[15:59] <null__> you need guest additionals install
[15:59] <koshieFinalReliz> If t's encrypted you can't read file on it. But you can format it with any program. GParted for eample.
[15:59] <koshieFinalReliz> example*
[15:59] <maahes> is anyone here familiar with using pastebinit extensively? If so can they give me the *exact* syntax to tell pastebinit to use a pastebin other than paste.ubuntu.com?
[15:59] <wols> DamnSoGooD: you need the vbox guest extensions installed inside the guest
[15:59] <koshieFinalReliz> maahes, man don't say it ?
[15:59] <operhiem1> I got my sound working with surround by adding options snd-hda-intel model=auto to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.
[15:59] <DamnSoGooD> wols: how is that? :D
[15:59] <CodenameStrike> Hmm
[16:00] <maahes> koshieFinalReliz: I've tried the way man says it, and I figure I must be doing it wrong, since it keeps telling me the pastebin doesn't exist.
[16:00] <wols> DamnSoGooD: because the virtualbox programmers made it so
[16:00] <koshieFinalReliz> DamnSoGooD, it's in the menu.
[16:00] <CodenameStrike> I have quite a bit of a problem trying to force font hinting
[16:00] <MagicJ> koshieFinalReliz: this is what I am asking - so how do I format it?
[16:00] <koshieFinalReliz> maahes, Paste what did you do.
[16:00] <CodenameStrike> on instances I'm not using GNOME/KDE
[16:00] <CodenameStrike> as in, running an openbox session
[16:00] <koshieFinalReliz> MagicJ, GParted or any other software to do that.
[16:00] <maahes> koshieFinalReliz: all of the ones that are listed by pastebinit -l
[16:00] <MagicJ> koshieFinalReliz:  and with gparted what do I do
[16:00] <DamnSoGooD> i already made and added a shared folder but they are not showing inside the entire network in the guest os
[16:01] <Tester>  hi
[16:01] <maahes> if I run any website with the -b command, (including paste.ubuntu.com) it tells me it doesn't exist
[16:01] <Tester>  hi
[16:01] <jnlsnl_> anyone can tell me how I change the colour of usernames in terminal to blue, for all users ?

[16:02] <wols> DamnSoGooD: and until you install VBox Guest Additions, they never ever will
[16:02] <Tester>  wazzz up
[16:02] <oCean> Tester: do you have a support question?
[16:02] <wols> tacomaster: yes
[16:02] <maahes> oCean: thankyou :)
[16:02] <DamnSoGooD> i said how can i install that guest addition
[16:03] <wols> DamnSoGooD: by installing them via apt

[16:04] <Bikeman> what gives?
[16:04] <maahes> Bikeman: ctrl+alt F1-F6

[16:12] <Bikeman> that worked, thanks!
[16:12] <AFD> anyone mind helping me troubleshoot my office network?
[16:13] <wols> koshieFinalReliz: for someone who prods people to write their problem you seem very cavalier in ignoring it when they do: " < CyborgSmurf> koshieFinalReliz: thing is that the connection works randomly, since I removed the keyring I cant go online"   his drivers are fine....

[16:14] <koshieFinalReliz> Ok
[16:14] <jnlsnl_> I added a new colour scheme for my username on my server in the bottom of /etc/bash.bashrc, but before it shows i have to run "source /etc/bash.bashrc" after connecting

[16:18] <AFD> @wols LTSP is running ubuntu 10.04 and I think the PBX is ubuntu too
[16:18] <Chotaz> sanjayb, bitshop is s folder to
[16:18] <enleth> I need it to compile some code for i686 on that box.
[16:19] <oCean> Chotaz: that means that there is already a directory with that name in /var/www (and THAT (destination) directory is not empty)
[16:19] <AFD> the workstations are all set up to be thin clients and they boot fine to the LTSP... but the LTSP can't ping the PBX
[16:19] <maahes> usr13: 7.3
[16:19] <wols> AFD: it's your switches that prevent the communication. which don't run ubuntu
[16:19] <sanjayb> Chotaz: yes, there is probably already a folder (or file) called bitshop in /var/www
[16:19] <AFD> @wols ok, I thought that was the case

Is there any fix for that?
[16:21] <ThinkT510> AFD: using the @ symbol infront of a nick causes the nick not to get highlighted

[16:34] <mun_> ActionParsnip, i've fixed it with xhost local:root
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> mun_: sweet move :)
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> mun_: now backup the script incase you need it after a reinstall etc
[16:35] <mun_> ActionParsnip, FYI. i already got the display in the script.
[16:35] <ActionParsnip> strange
[16:36] <jnlsnl_> my real question is: I have changed colours in /etc/bash.bashrc, but i need to run "source /etc/bash.bashrc" for each session for it to take effect?? :-S
[16:36] <mun_> ActionParsnip, but then would i need to do xhost local:root on every boot now?
[16:36] <llutz> mun_: but script-user != display-user, so you got "cannot open display"

[16:56] <NoWayJose> Ah I see. :)
[16:57] <NoWayJose> I am running it on this computer here and it has 512mb...but i like it faster. heh :/
[16:57] <CarlFK> NoWayJose: I am happy when things work with a minimal system cuz that means i and others don't have to spend stupid amounts of money just to read email and watch cats on youtube
[16:58] <Mandrew> how do i make pge-clock start up with the OS?
[16:58] <NoWayJose> CarlFK, I heard that, because I don't have any money. :P
[16:58] <gate7> hello
[16:58] <gate7> can u ask how can i install backtrack programs in ubuntu?
[16:59] <io> !backtrack | gate7
[16:59] <null__> put backtrak repository in synaptic
[17:00] <NoWayJose> Maybe I should just get xubuntu 6.06..i think 512mb would run it fast :P
[17:00] <gate7> how do i do that?
[17:00] <null__> sec
[17:00] <vatts> NoWayJose, should run really fast :D
[17:00] <io> !sources.list | gate7
[17:01] <CarlFK> NoWayJose: I have a feeling 512 is enough.  256 was enough a few years go.  more ram doesn't make much difference unless you are running memory hungry apps.. like... um.. firefox ;)
[17:01] <gridbag> In my "Hardware Drivers", it says for my nvidia driver:  "This driver is activated but not in use".   How do I turn on the acceleration?
[17:02] <Mandrew> i got ubuntu 11.04 and i have installed pge-clock, now i wonder how i get it to start up with the OS
[17:02] <NoWayJose> CarlFK, Which is exactly what I run.
[17:02] <bonixavier> can anyone post their fstab? I need a Ubuntu fstab to know how to mount devpts, proc and tmpfs
[17:03] <CarlFK> bonixavier: for natty the only thing I have is proc            /proc           proc    nodev,noexec,nosuid 0       0
[17:04] <compdoc> bonixavier, lots of examples on google. best to learn to use UUID
[17:04] <NielsMkn> Hey guys
[17:04] <Mandrew> hi
[17:04] <bonixavier> ok. I'm copying the files from the squashfs to my spare partition so I'm copying the ones from my existing install. I can tune it later.
[17:04] <llutz> compdoc: to mount devpts, proc and tmpfs? i doubt UUIDs are usefull
[17:04] <CarlFK> bonixavier: same with maverick
[17:04] <NielsMkn> Why does the site recommend ubuntu 32-bit over 64 bit?
[17:04] <bonixavier> CarFK: thx
[17:05] <neure> why is the libX11.so symlink missing in Ubuntu unless you install the -dev package?
[17:05] <compdoc> NielsMkn, 64bit is fine
[17:05] <CarlFK> NielsMkn: cuz 32 will work on anyones box, so if you don't know, that one is safer.
[17:06] <CarlFK> (well, not anyone's...  but about anyone who doesn't know what they have)
[17:06] <NoWayJose> Hmm, sort of hard to locate xubuntu 6.10
[17:06] <NielsMkn> so what exactly is needed to run a 64 bit OS?
[17:06] <NielsMkn> I had no problems running 10.10 64 bit on this pc
[17:06] <ray_> anyone having problems after upgrading to 11.04?
[17:06] <CarlFK> NoWayJose: http://lubuntu.net/ "lubuntu is a faster, more lightweight and energy saving variant of Ubuntu using LXDE, the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment."
[17:07] <llutz> NielsMkn: ignore that recommendation on the website, its nonsense
[17:07] <NielsMkn> lol thanks :D
[17:07] <cyberkilla> NoWayJose, Well, I run Ubuntu in a VM with 512 and one CPU core, and it seems pretty snappy for me.
[17:07] <CarlFK> NielsMkn: you need a 64 bit cpu.
[17:07] <NielsMkn> :O
[17:07] <compdoc> NielsMkn, are you having problems with the 11.04 64bit version?
[17:08] <cyberkilla> NoWayJose, Even when I run it on my computer with 2GB RAM, it almost never passes close to 512
[17:08] <NielsMkn> I haven't installed it yet. Still downloading
[17:08] <ray_> anyone having problems after upgrading to 11.04?
[17:08] <pseudoradom> Hello guys, I have ubuntu 10.04 but I cannot disable login screen. I do not want to type password on login or after screensaver. I tried this http://www.addictivetips.com/ubuntu-linux-tips/how-to-disable-ubuntu-user-login-window/ but the problem is on my login window preferences application,i do not have tabs such as seurity and others. Since I dont have security,basically I cannot do it. Any ideas how can I disable it on command
[17:08] <aeon-ltd> ray_: just ask your actual question about the problem
[17:09] <NielsMkn> I'm on windows 7 right now and the performance information window says my pc is 64 bit capable :o
[17:09] <NoWayJose> cyberkilla, ok
[17:09] <pfifo> how can I make dpkg list the files that will be installed from a .deb file??
[17:11] <ray_> after upgrading to 11.04 my win7 can't share files, my printer doesn't work, my box keeps hanging up!
[17:11] <CarlFK> pseudoradom: system, admin, users..., password change, [x] don't ask...
[17:11] <llutz> pfifo: dpkg --contents packagename
[17:11] <NoWayJose> any reason to worry about viruses, trojans, spyware, malware while using ubuntu?
[17:12] <ray_> i didnt have this problem with 10.10
[17:12] <Gomaaz> any guy here with ppc experience? need help with my ubuntu install
[17:12] <llutz> pfifo: after installation: dpkg -L package
[17:12] <pseudoradom> CarlFK: I tried but it didn't work. I have don't ask checked already
[17:12] <ray_> since i image my drive, im back on 10.10
[17:12] <Mandrew> Gomaaz just download the ppc version of ubuntu and you be sett to go
[17:13] <Gomaaz> thats what I did already
[17:13] <Gomaaz> I got it installed
[17:13] <ray_> ubuntu setup on my laptop using wireless connection
[17:13] <Mandrew> gomaaz ok
[17:13] <Gomaaz> but the screen seem to stay blank (black)
[17:13] <Gomaaz> at startup
[17:13] <Mandrew> hmm
[17:13] <Gomaaz> so I started in rescue mode
[17:13] <Mandrew> gomaaz where did you put the grub?
[17:14] <pfifo> llutz, I cant install this package, the first example works great though, thanks
[17:14] <Gomaaz> run a shell on root partition and followed instructions as seen here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10873262
[17:14] <Gomaaz> can't use boot...I'm using yaboot
[17:14] <Gomaaz> can't use grub, sry
[17:14] <ray_> so why 11.04 not working and 10.10 works great
[17:14] <NoWayJose> I always though Linux was immune to viruses and stuff like that, guess not.
[17:15] <CarlFK> pseudoradom: huh.  you can poke around in etc/gdm - somewhere should be: AutomaticLoginEnable=true
[17:15] <Gomaaz> I also need to know where to get my Harddrive openfirmware path to set up in yaboot.conf
[17:16] <Mandrew> gomaaz sorry i have no clue. the only ppc ubuntu version i have tried to install is on my ps3 and that worked just fine
[17:16] <Gomaaz> ahk. my prob is a bit more tricky
[17:16] <Gomaaz> install and go...didn't do the job :P
[17:17] <pseudoradom> CarlFK: In /etc/gdm/custom.conf I have AutomaticLoginEnabe=true is this file the correct configuration file?
[17:17] <DamnSoGooD> ray_ : first, is your ubuntu installed on a seperate partition or inside windows?
[17:17] <Mandrew> well gomaaz i hope you find a quick fix for your problem :)
[17:18] <CarlFK> pseudoradom: yep.  should log you in on boot.  (also need AutomaticLogin=someone)
[17:19] <pseudoradom> CarlFK: quite strange because it is exactly as you described. AutomaticLoginEnable = true and AutomaticLogin=my user's name... still asks for password. i don't know why :S
[17:20] <pseudoradom> I will reboot and see if it changes, although i rebooted before. maybe 2nd reboot is required :P
[17:21] <savid> Since the compiz screenshot tool is broken in Ubuntu Natty, does anyone know of a good replacement?  I just want to be able to hit a key combo,  and drag an area to capture.
[17:23] <NFischer> How do i extract a PID of a bashscript thats running?? The skript is named "work1" but "pidof work1" doesnt give me anything...
[17:23] <NielsMkn> so is ubuntu 64 bit better for gaming than ubuntu 32 bit?
[17:24] <compdoc> you can run games on Ubuntu? cool!
[17:24] <Handlx> hablan spanish?
[17:24] <IdleOne> !es
[17:24] <compdoc> 64bit is good for access more than 4 gigs ram, and very large drives - it doens make it faster
[17:24] <compdoc> *accessing
[17:25] <NielsMkn> erm thats it? :/
[17:25] <compdoc> well, having more than 4 gigs ram is good for gaming, I guess
[17:25] <thermite> всем привет!
[17:26] <NielsMkn> heh I thought it would have better use of multicore cpus :S
[17:26] <RedDemon2970> exit

[17:29] <savid> CarlFK,  yeah, but  I want to avoid having to crop manually.  I have a dual-screen system.
[17:29] <NoWayJose> CarlFK, Any sense in putting anti-virus program on ubuntu?
[17:29] <CarlFK> savid: it lets you drag a region
[17:29] <savid> Oh rly?
[17:30]  * savid tries it
[17:30] <CarlFK> NoWayJose: yes.  not enough of a reason for me, but there is some sense.
[17:30] <NoWayJose> ok
[17:31] <ThinkT510> NoWayJose: perhaps if you have to share a lot of files with windows
[17:31] <LAcan> hey can aynone help me with sharing a truecrupt volume from ubuntu to windows? not sure what I'm doing wrong...
[17:31] <NFischer> How do i redirect the output of "ps -ef | grep scablehnung | awk '{ print $2 }'" into kill?
[17:31] <llutz> NFischer: "pkill scablehung"
[17:31] <CarlFK> NoWayJose: I think it is more important to keep my important stuff backed up and try to avoid allowing websites to re-set my home page
[17:32] <NFischer> llutz, lolz nice!
[17:32] <NFischer> llutz, thank you!
[17:32] <llutz> NFischer: for the lazy typers of us :)
[17:32] <NoWayJose> I see.
[17:32] <CarlFK> NFischer: pkill scablehnung
[17:33] <CarlFK> damm.
[17:33] <llutz> NFischer: your version: ps -ef | grep scablehnung | awk '{ print $2 }' |xargs kill
[17:33] <NFischer> llutz, thanks!!

[17:35] <rypervenche> ApacheOmega: Go into your power management settings.
[17:36] <ApacheOmega> where is that
[17:37] <Mandrew> apacheomega right click on your batteri in the upper list
[17:38] <llutz> ApacheOmega: adjust passwd_timeout,  timestamp_timeout to your needs (using visudo )
[17:38] <Mandrew> apacheomega or go to the preference menu
[17:38] <Josesordo> what is the command to see the processes?

[17:40] <letterbomb05> Hi I'm using gphpedit, however when I save files it creates a duplicate with ~ at the end (e.g file1.php file1.php~). How can I stop it doing this? It's annoying to have duplicates of everything.
[17:40] <mlmg317-himts> Hello.  My system seems to not run smoothly off and on.  I have an IBM Thinkpad T43 (business model), and I am strictly running Ubuntu 11.04 w/Unity (no partitioned hard drive, strictly Linux).  I've noticed that when my system has been running for a while, it tends to do this.  Then, after cooling down for a bit, it runs fine.  Is it my OS or my hardware?
[17:41] <djigit> Hi to all! Sorry for my English. What IDE can to compile C source code with win api
[17:42] <Bfh> might try gcc
[17:42] <KhanFused> djigit -- what kind of coding?  dot-Net?
[17:42] <foormea> i don't understand why ssh-agent is not running on my kde session
[17:42] <foormea> scripts relevant with ssh-agent seem healthy
[17:43] <djigit> no. C. Borland C can to compile it
[17:43] <mlmg317-himts> Does anyone have any suggestions for me?  For example, how do I defrag my system in Ubuntu?  What commands do I run in terminal?  This might be why Ubuntu takes such a long time to start up off and on ... ???
[17:43] <NFischer> llutz, hmm i still got a problem... the process (wich is a macro of mouse-clicks and movements) does not interrupt witch pkill....
[17:43] <KhanFused> if you're using straight ANSI C, then gcc should do it
[17:43] <IdleOne> !defrag | mlmg317-himts
[17:44] <KhanFused> mlmg317 -- 'defragging' is (according to everything I've read) unnecessary
[17:44] <KhanFused> ... as you just discovered ...
[17:44] <djigit> this is one of them http://waper.ru/file/1677064/download/d8cd95b52104dfe3067/Copy1.c.txt
[17:44] <KhanFused> could it be a temperature issue? -- as you run your machine for a while, the computer gets hot and the system steps down the CPU speed?
[17:44] <llutz> NFischer: tried "pkill -9 xxxx"?
[17:44] <IdleOne> mlmg317-himts: I suspect over heating since you mentioned it. That could cause the system to slow down.
[17:44] <mlmg317-himts> IdleOne: OK, I'll try "!defrag" in Terminal ... and see if that makes a difference ...
[17:45] <IdleOne> mlmg317-himts: that wasn't a command for you to run.
[17:45] <IdleOne> that was a command for the bot to send you info
[17:45] <mlmg317-himts> IdleOne: OK.  Basically, it is saying that Linux should not present fragmentation issues, right?
[17:46] <IdleOne> mlmg317-himts: correct
[17:46] <KhanFused> djigit: -- except for the code that came across as control characters -- I didn't see anything that was not standard C
[17:46] <NFischer> llutz, yes
[17:46] <KhanFused> gcc should compile that
[17:46] <KhanFused> < -- amateur opinion ... I've only studied C for a bit
[17:46] <mlmg317-himts> IdleOne: How do I keep my laptop from overheating?  What would you suggest?  Is it just a matter of shutting it down for a while and coming back?  I don't want to fry the motherboard ...
[17:47] <KhanFused> mlmg -- how dusty is it?  Might have built up dust in the cooling fan
[17:47] <djigit> i am tying, but it has no results
[17:47] <IdleOne> mlmg317-himts: make sure it has proper ventilation. try not to run it to hard...heavy applications.
[17:47] <djigit> gcc + this code = error
[17:47] <IdleOne> also what KhanFused said, clean it now and then :)
[17:47] <NFischer> llutz, two times CTRL+C would kill it, if run in terminal though
[17:48] <mikebeecham> if I'm getting slow framerates in Ubuntu using nvidia...which vblank settings do I disable...all of them?
[17:48] <KhanFused> djigit -- did you feed the received error code into the magic that is Google?
[17:48] <djigit> does Anjuta use gcc?
[17:49] <mlmg317-himts> IdleOne: OK.  Good call.  You can get those blower cans, right?  What is the most proper way of cleaning a laptop without ruining anything in the process?
[17:49] <mlmg317-himts> KhanFused: Thank you as well for the input about cleaning :)
[17:50] <IdleOne> mlmg317-himts: not sure, I don't own a laptop.
[17:50] <mlmg317-himts> Hmm.  Maybe if I went over to Best Buy, they could just assist me ...
[17:50] <KhanFused> Idle -- the most 'thorough and proper' method involves opening up the laptop to blow things out ... so you can be sure that you blow dust out instead of deeper in
[17:50] <KhanFused>   I just stuck the air can nozzle into various vent holes (of a thinkpad 61) and hoped for the best
[17:51] <KhanFused> mlmg -- Best Buy will be of less than no help
[17:51] <KhanFused> it is rare that you get someone in the geek squad who actually knows what they're talking about
[17:51] <djigit> gcc can't find io.h, conio.h sys/types.h and other
[17:51] <KhanFused> other than following pre-set training regimens more applicable to windows machines
[17:51] <mlmg317-himts> KhanFused: Yeah, I would pay for Geek Squad anyway.  They're overpriced ...
[17:51] <usr13> mlmg317-himts: I agree with KhanFused, Best Buy is not the answer.
[17:52] <KhanFused> usually involving 'reimage the machine'
[17:52] <mlmg317-himts> KhanFused:  I wouldn't pay for them, I mean ...
[17:52] <KhanFused> 'Linux' will make them vapor lock
[17:52] <mlmg317-himts> usr13: Agreed.
[17:53] <usr13> There are usually some pages on the internet about how to take apart the various laptops
[17:53] <Bikeman> what is a good util to get performance stats on videocard?
[17:54] <usr13> ... and it's a lot better than trying to blunder through the process with no info.
[17:54] <Bikeman> for opengl applicatiosn
[17:54] <usr13> Bikeman: openGL screensaver
[17:54] <djigit> Is any alternative C-compiler? Not gcc
[17:55] <Bfh> djigit on linux or windows ?
[17:55] <Bikeman> screensavers? like what, rotating text
[17:55] <mlmg317-himts> KhanFused: Yeah - I don't need Geek Squad to re-image my machine anyway.  I can do this myself.  And it doesn't sound like an OS issue anyway ...
[17:55] <Bikeman> that's not very useful
[17:55] <ActionParsnip> Bikeman: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_opengl_prime&num=1
[17:56] <Bikeman> thanks!
[17:56] <usr13> Bikeman: openGL screensaver "BlockTube"
[17:56] <domino14> ubuntu on my virtualbox doesnt let me log in anymore. all i see is a white box in place of the login box
[17:56] <KhanFused> djigit: your errors sounded like you were trying to call include files, that the system didn't know where they were (or what)
[17:56] <domino14> anyone know what i can do?
[17:57] <djigit> KhanFused: i am understand it. but how i can to correct it?
[17:57] <Bfh> djigit: if working off of c++ and trying to use the C librabry use: cstdio > cmath > canythinghere instead of .h
[17:58] <mlmg317-himts> KhanFused: So clean my machine as best as I can.  If that doesn't do the trick, then re-image it (i.e. re-install Ubuntu / wipe the drive) ...  Thank you for your input ...

[17:59] <KhanFused> mlmg: which version are you using

[17:59] <KhanFused> < -- just shifted from 9.10 to 11.04 yesterday
[17:59] <KhanFused> < -- 32 bit to 64 bit, and up 3 steps, in one shot

[18:00] <KhanFused> < -- plus a re-import of my previously installed packages and let apt figure out what to replace
[18:00] <ActionParsnip> KhanFused: was it using a format then reinstall?
[18:00] <KhanFused> < --- waiting to see what breaks
[18:00] <Trashi> milamber: no buit i will ;)
[18:00] <KhanFused> Action -- no ... I was going to do that, but the installer offered me the chance to upgrade in one place.  Figured that since I was going to erase and rebuild anyway -- and I had full backups -- what did I have to loose
[18:01] <ActionParsnip> KhanFused: makes sense, i doubt your OS will be hugely stable

[18:06] <mlmg317-himts> KhanFused: Yeah - but you are talking about doing that from the inside of the computer, right?  It makes sense that you would not want to blow dust into the machine from the outside, I would presume ...
[18:06] <domino14> usr13: when i ran dpkg —configure -a i got that parsing error
[18:06] <domino14> idont know wahjat that means
[18:06] <KhanFused> I did a short quick dust-blow from outside the computer, sticking into the vent holes
[18:06] <chasr> Hi all - I'm thinking of upgrade 10.10 -> 11.04.  Should I do it from scratch on fresh part. or let upgrade mgr do it
[18:07] <KhanFused> at the time I wasn't ready to do a tear-down
[18:07] <domino14> i dont want to downgrade anything, i want it to work
[18:07] <domino14> this is a clean install on virtualbox
[18:07] <Trashi> milamber: i search that ocr software for my girlfriend .. she sais nhocr results arenot really acceptable.. do you know an alternative program? maybe with a gui?
[18:07] <mlmg317-himts> chasr: It depends on whether or not you think your computer needs to be re-imaged or not.
[18:08] <Newbee> Chasr do not upgrade if everythng is stable and your hardware is working
[18:08] <chasr> don't really need a reimage - it's just a personal laptop
[18:08] <milamber> Trashi: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OCR
[18:08] <chasr> No advantage to 11.04 ??
[18:08] <KhanFused> Agree with newbee ... 10.10 will have system updates for a while.
[18:09] <mlmg317-himts> chasr: Has it been running OK (i.e. smoothly).  Re-imaging never hurts (it's only a "win-win").  It's just more of a hassle - meaning you have to save and backup files and such.  Just my opinion.
[18:09] <KhanFused> there's probably some new features -- which you could manually put in if you wanted them
[18:09] <chasr> I got another comp with 10.04 - what about that
[18:09] <Trashi> milamber: thx.
[18:09] <KhanFused> chasr: I just did 9.10 32bit  --- > 11.04 64bit yesterday.  Still crossing my fingers to see if everything works.  Of course I made sure that I'd backed up EVERYTHING first
[18:09] <Newbee> Chasr:unity isnt that great but if you really want it go for upgrade
[18:10] <mlmg317-himts> chasr: If you don't want to go through all the hassle, and don't think your drive needs to be wiped and re-imaged ... then just use the upgrade manager.
[18:10] <neobit> KhanFused: same here but from 10.10
[18:10] <wonka_> crossing your fingers?
[18:10] <milamber> Trashi: i've used tesseract and it suited my purposes. it's cli though and japanese may be harder to get working w/ the desired results
[18:10] <neobit> yeah
[18:10] <chasr> Everythings fine. It's just that update mgr keeps pushing upgrade
[18:10] <Guest72544> Hi New to IRC
[18:11] <mlmg317-himts> chasr: And if you upgrade to Unity and don't like it ... then as long as you've burned 11.04 to a disc ... you can always start over by re-imaging whenever you want.  That's the beauty of having the OS burned to a disc ...
[18:11] <domino14> someone please fix ubuntu
[18:11] <Trashi> milamber: i'll try out .. thanks for your help
[18:11] <chasr> What I'm really asking is if udate mgr causes trouble
[18:11] <milamber> Trashi: np
[18:11] <Newbee> Chasr:Then I wouldnt recommend an upgrade
[18:11] <milamber> domino14: did you try the link i already sent you>?
[18:11] <domino14> sudo dpkg —configure -a doesn't work
[18:11] <Jordan_U> mlmg317-himts: You don't need to downgrade to not use unity.

[18:12] <KhanFused> Action -- this wasn't flying, this was a high wire act across a canyon.  So far i've made it across
[18:12] <domino14> the sudo dpkg —configure -a doesn't work
[18:12] <domino14> error parsing file /var/lib/dpkg/status
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> KhanFused: i'd test a week or so then breathe easy
[18:12] <mlmg317-himts> Jordan_U: good point.  Thanks for the input :)
[18:13] <Jordan_U> mlmg317-himts: You're welcome.
[18:13] <KhanFused> Action -- what I'm figuring.  Luckily I have nothing mission critical on this machine for the time being
[18:13] <milamber> !tab
[18:13] <KhanFused> oh yeah ... my eclipse install seems to have been pooched -- the editor pane isn't showing up
[18:13] <Jordan_U> chasr: You will have to upgrade eventually. IMHO it only really makes sense to stay with an older release if it's LTS, as you can upgrade directly from one LTS release to another.
[18:14] <chasr> that's what I'm thinking Jordan
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> KhanFused: try renaming the app config folder, see if it spawns a new fresh one with vanilla settings
[18:14] <chasr> just wondering when to do it -- it 11.04 stable yet
[18:15] <KhanFused> Action: does the app config folder have the eclipse-downloaded functionality? (c++ plugins, etc.)?
[18:15] <KhanFused> I was going to deinstall/reinstall
[18:16] <van7hu> good ... everyone
[18:16] <niko-nojo> Hi room - I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 and I can't drag any files onto my Desktop. Any idea ?
[18:17] <V7|RTK> !drag
[18:17] <Jordan_U> chasr: It's not going to get much more stable than it already is. How stable it is for you will depend on your hardware and what you do with your computer.
[18:17] <Jordan_U> niko-nojo: Is there any output from "pgrep nautilus"?
[18:18] <niko-nojo> Jordan_U - there is
[18:18] <chasr> do gnome or kde have any particular troubles in 11.04 and is unity any good ?
[18:19] <tensorpudding> chasr: no, and yes
[18:19] <tensorpudding> chasr: unity is gnome with a new haircut
[18:19] <Jordan_U> niko-nojo: What are you trying to drag to your desktop and what happens when you try?
[18:19] <tensorpudding> chasr: if you like kde, kubuntu is sporting it pretty well
[18:20] <ntr0py> why do i get all those unity-window-de[1635]: segfault at 9 ip 00007f5f80097a66 sp 00007fff30f6be30 error 4 in libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0.2400.4[7f5f8002b000+ae000] errors in ubuntu classic?

[18:20] <chasr> I used to use kde, switched to gnome in 9.04. Now can't decide if I should switch back
[18:20] <dr_willis> chasr,  dont forget to check out Lubuntu also. :)
[18:20] <dr_willis> chasr,  install them all.
[18:21] <niko-nojo> Jordan_U - just a file from another folder. I don't get an error message . The file just moves back to where it came from.
[18:21] <chasr> I'm too lazy to install then all
[18:21] <dr_willis> I have unity tweaked to my likeings now.  I tried to use UBUNTU 11.04 and with one of my old laptops I face a problem with the mouse pointer. I can not see the mouse pointer. The mouse seems to work, but since I can not see the mouse pointer, its impossible to upgrade to UBUNTU 11.04 the same problem with UBUNTU 10,04 but no problem with  UBUNTU 9.10. Can anybody help (My laptop is Fujitsu Siemens Amilo). anthemousios@gm
[18:22] <dr_willis> Guest72544,  proberly a video driver issue. whats your chipset. and youi may want to pick a Non-guest nick
[18:23] <Poindexter_> What is the best compiler for Ubuntu and what directory should any program be decompressed?
[18:23] <tensorpudding> Poindexter_: compiler for what?
[18:23] <dr_willis> Any program.. would depend on the program...
[18:23] <dr_willis> and what you are doing with it.
[18:23] <V7|RTK> Poindexter_, GNU compiler
[18:23] <Poindexter_> In particular Bahamut IRC Daemon.
[18:23] <tensorpudding> Poindexter_: lots of different language compilers, but if it's written in C or C++, you likely want GCC
[18:23] <dr_willis> Poindexter_,  what language is it written in?
[18:24] <wonka_> of course C
[18:24] <tensorpudding> Poindexter_: installing the build-essentials package will net you the compiler and a lot of useful toolchain stuff
[18:25] <dr_willis> !compile
[18:25] <zar__> hy
[18:25] <Poindexter_> I suppose the GCC apt-get would be the safest then?
[18:25] <wonka_> tips for compiling, interesting
[18:25] <dr_willis> PointyPumper,  given the total lack of details youve given... yes.
[18:25] <wonka_> I need help to use make
[18:25] <mun__> hi
[18:26] <mun__> how do i check how much memory is there on my graphics card?
[18:26] <UBUNTUN00B> do i need to download a java addon for chromium ?
[18:26] <dr_willis> !java
[18:26] <zar__> suche m.a.d. in solms
[18:26] <Nobgul-BNC> I think that glxinfo gives you vid card info
[18:26] <Nobgul-BNC> ubuntuman,  No mine worked out the box
[18:27] <rawfodog> Hey guys, so I have an SD card issue. All my sd cards show up in ubuntu, however, they are all in write protection mode. I flick the switches just to make sure/try the other way and ubuntu still has them write protected. rebooted etc. Is this a bug in ubuntu 11 ?
[18:27] <zar__> 12
[18:27] <Poindexter_> I am looking at this from a Windows perspective. That is where I have my roots in. Ubuntu, that's another story. I have used make command with an old Red Hat but it coughed at the Bahamut IRC daemon.
[18:27] <dr_willis> if you enable the 2 check box's at the beginning of the installer - i think it auto installs the iced tea java and some other plugins
[18:27] <rawfodog> I've tried multiple sd cards, different brands etc
[18:27] <tensorpudding> Poindexter_: read the link with advice on compiling, then read the documentation that cam with the software you plan to compile
[18:28] <tensorpudding> Poindexter_: there isn't a standardized process for compiling
[18:28] <Jordan_U> rawfodog: With an sd card inserted can you pastebin the output of "mount"?
[18:28] <dr_willis> rawfodog,  on a usb media reader? or built into the motherboard>?  try accessing them as the root user>?
[18:28] <ntr0py> I am really frustrated with the new unity/compiz/Xorg mods: libva segfaults, compiz segfaults, nouveau modeset isnt working at all...
[18:28] <rawfodog> built in
[18:28] <rawfodog> I tried accessing them via root, still the same issue !
[18:28] <dr_willis> rawfodog,  laptop? or desktop?
[18:28] <UBUNTUN00B> yeah i already have openjdk installed
[18:28] <rawfodog> laptop
[18:29] <UBUNTUN00B> yet flash stuff still does not work
[18:29] <rawfodog> dell inspiron 1420
[18:29] <dr_willis> rawfodog,  theres some issues with some of those built in readers. Yiou may want to check the forums for yiour exact make laptop.
[18:29] <rawfodog> ok
[18:29] <tensorpudding> UBUNTUN00B: flash doesn't have anything to do with java
[18:29] <Poindexter_> Tensorpudding, thanks for that help tip. I am reading with much anticipation.
[18:29] <UBUNTUN00B> oops lol
[18:29] <UBUNTUN00B> sorry just woke up
[18:29] <dr_willis> often theres a special kernel option that can help. SOMETIMES they are flakey and just have to be in at boot time. and never removed. :(
[18:29] <UBUNTUN00B> i meant getting flash to work
[18:29] <dr_willis> !flash
[18:29] <UBUNTUN00B> thanks
[18:30] <Jordan_U> rawfodog: With an sd card inserted please pastebin the output of "mount".
[18:30]  * chasr wonders if he should upgrade if unity/compiz/X gives segfaults
[18:31] <Poindexter_> Tensorpudding what is a safe /directory to put the software before compiling?
[18:31] <Nobgul-BNC> ubuntuman,  are you using chrome or chromium?
[18:31] <UBUNTUN00B> chromium
[18:31] <Nobgul-BNC> Weird, everything worked for me right out the box after installing it.
[18:31] <rawfodog> ok
[18:31] <rawfodog> umm...
[18:31] <tensorpudding> Poindexter_: wherever you have permissions to put it
[18:32] <rawfodog> how do I get the output of mount  ?
[18:32] <wonka_> this is good
[18:32] <tensorpudding> Poindexter_: under your ~, presumably
[18:32] <nsd_> Anyone know if there's a configuration file to set which modules to load at boot, and with which parameters? I have an el-cheapo tv tuner card that the kernel can't identify automatically, so I have to do "sudo modprobe saa7134 card=42 tuner=0" every time I want to use it, and I'd like that to happen at boot time.
[18:32] <Poindexter_> Tensorpudding I have root access. /temp    ?
[18:32] <tripp> how would i go about playing minecraft? i downloaded the minecraft.jar file, but cant figure out how to use it
[18:33] <Jordan_U> rawfodog: Open a terminal, type "mount", then hit Enter.
[18:33] <llutz> nsd_: "options saa7134 card=42 tuner=0" to /etc/modprobe.d/saa.conf
[18:33] <Nobgul-BNC> tripp, On the minecraft page where you got the jar. It tells you the command.
[18:33] <chasr> @nsd the answer is yes but I can't remember where
[18:33] <nsd_> llutz: Thanks!
[18:33] <dr_willis> !modules
[18:33] <Nobgul-BNC> tripp, If you are unable to find the command i will get it for you real quick
[18:33] <dr_willis> !whitelist
[18:33] <tensorpudding> tripp: it surely tells you on their website, generally it involves running java
[18:33] <GatekeeperZA> hello, can someone please help me with ubuntu 11.04 nic teaming.
[18:33] <dr_willis> java -jar foo.jar

[18:34] <rawfodog> http://pastebin.com/UhdppA6Y
[18:34] <llutz> nsd_: if the module won't be loaded automatically, add "saa7134" to /etc/modules
[18:34] <nsd_> llutz: I was just going to ask that, lol
[18:34] <nsd_> llutz: Thanks again
[18:34] <rawfodog> Jordan_U http://pastebin.com/UhdppA6Y
[18:34] <tensorpudding> tripp: i suggest putting the .jar somewhere conspicuous, and making a launcher
[18:35] <GatekeeperZA> HelloWorld321, can someone please help me with ubuntu 11.04 nic teaming.
[18:35] <tripp> tensorpudding, all it says is that its an executable jar file, and if i run into errors to launch it with "java -Xmx1024M -Xms512m
[18:35] <Nobgul-BNC> GatekeeperZA, I can provide you with a weblink explaining it.
[18:35] <tripp> im new to linux have no idea what im doin
[18:36] <GatekeeperZA> Nobgul-BNC, please
[18:36] <Nobgul-BNC> GatekeeperZA, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=201713
[18:36] <tensorpudding> tripp: you need to have a java installed
[18:36] <Nobgul-BNC> Its the one i followed.
[18:36] <tjc> hi all!i dont have any specific question or problem i just want to ask your opinion about ubuntu 11.04!because i have installed it the very first day but after a reboot i couldn't do anything no internet no folders nothing it was frozen!
[18:36] <tensorpudding> tripp: then all .jar files will be associated with it just fine
[18:36] <dr_willis> tripp,  then  you cd to ther directory where you have the files at... and run that command..
[18:36] <tripp> nobgul-BNC this is the output: "java: /build/buildd/cacao-0.99.4/./src/vm/resolve.c:399: resolve_classref_or_classinfo: Assertion `c->state & 0x0002' failed.
[18:36] <tripp> Aborted
[18:36] <tripp> "
[18:37] <dr_willis> Im suprised the thing dosent include a launcher.sh
[18:37] <tensorpudding> tripp: have you installed java yet?
[18:37] <dr_willis> it might require the sun java also.
[18:37] <tripp> it does require sun java i looked in the ubuntu software center and synaptic but i cant find it
[18:37] <dr_willis> !java
[18:38] <dr_willis> sun java is in the partner repo.
[18:38] <tripp> thank you
[18:39] <saburo> Has someone be able to reduce touchpad sensitive on natty?
[18:39] <Jordan_U> rawfodog: Can you try running "sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/mmcblk0p1" ?
[18:40] <Jordan_U> rawfodog: And then pastebin the output of "mount" again, along with the output of "touch /media/PENDRIVE/testfile".

[18:42] <savid> Hi, I'm trying to map the command "import" to a keyboard shortcut, but it doesn't seem to do anything.  It only seems to work when run from the shell.  Any ideas how to get this to work?
[18:43] <llutz> fbass: shift+pgup
[18:43] <fbass> program.
[18:43] <leeeroooy_J> llutz: thanks now i know too :D
[18:43] <fbass> nice
[18:43] <leeeroooy_J> llutz: but does this work without gui too?
[18:43] <leeeroooy_J> llutz: sorry meant to say without DE
[18:44] <tensorpudding> savid: it's a console program, you probably want to spawn a gnome-terminal that runs import instead
[18:44] <tripp> hey ubottu if i pastebin my terminal would you look at it tell me what im doin wrong? it says that sun-java6-jre has no installation canidate
[18:44] <ubuntuman> jk
[18:44] <ThinkT510> !bot
[18:44] <tripp> lol
[18:45] <tripp> i had no idea
[18:45] <tensorpudding> savid: it also requires an input file
[18:45] <Nobgul-BNC> tripp, How long have you had ubuntu installed and what version you running
[18:45] <fbass> is there a way I can pause a screen?
[18:45] <dr_willis> tripp,    You did not eneable the partners repository, or if yiou did. you did not do a 'sudo apt-get update'
[18:45] <HelloWorld321> I tell ya, I installed sub-java-6, and it was a little tricky
[18:45] <HelloWorld321> it can be done.
[18:46] <tripp> dr_willis i did both, i enabled the lucid partner and the maverick partner repos
[18:46] <dr_willis> HelloWorld321,  it should be rather trivial.
[18:46] <tripp> then i did sudo apt-get update
[18:46] <HelloWorld321> I remember I found some sudo apt-get commands on google
[18:46] <dr_willis> tripp,  you are only running one of those disrtos.....
[18:46] <dr_willis> unless you are doing somthign weird..
[18:46] <GatekeeperZA> hello, can someone please help me with [ VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6421 IDE RAID Controller ] - Ubuntu 11.04 - would be much appreciated
[18:46] <ubuntuman> lexapro has killed my manhood
[18:46] <tensorpudding> !ot | ubuntuman
[18:46] <HelloWorld321> yeah, first you had to enable an additional repository, and then you could install it with apt-get
[18:47] <om26er> GatekeeperZA, you cannot run Unity on this gpu
[18:47] <savid> tensorpudding,  is there a  way to spawn it without actually showing the shell?
[18:47] <tensorpudding> savid: what do you want to do, exactly?
[18:47] <om26er> GatekeeperZA, sudo apt-get install unity-2d and select unity-2d in gdm
[18:47] <GatekeeperZA> om26er, its not a gpu its a IDE RAID Controller
[18:47] <om26er> oops
[18:48] <cipher__> Is the newest version of the opengl library included with ubuntu 10.10?
[18:48] <om26er> GatekeeperZA, ignore me :)
[18:48] <tjc> hi guys the last 2 days i have problem with youtube in ubuntu 10.10
[18:48] <GatekeeperZA> lol no worries
[18:48] <Nisstyre> yes
[18:48] <cipher__> Nisstyre, thanks?
[18:48] <leeeroooy_J> tjc: what kind?
[18:48] <chasr> youtube is fine on my 10.10
[18:48] <xangua> !lates | cipher__
[18:48] <tjc> the videos doesnt load properly and also i cannot make them bigger(window size)
[18:48] <xangua> !lates
[18:48] <tensorpudding> savid: you can make it run without a terminal, if it's not interactive
[18:49] <xangua> ggggg, cipher__ i supose no
[18:49] <leeeroooy_J> tjc: tried to purge and reinstall flash?
[18:49] <tensorpudding> savid: but it requires an argument to be useful, and i'm not sure how you plan to pass it that argument
[18:49] <tripp> dr_willis so what do i do now? im new to linux all i did was follow the instructions on the ubuntu wiki
[18:49] <tjc> could you please telm how?
[18:49] <leeeroooy_J> tjc: of course, which one re you more familiar with, synaptic or terminal?
[18:49] <tjc> terminal maybe
[18:49] <weirdpercent> my gnome-control-panel only has 1 icon (Users) in it, all the rest disappeared and I can't config my comp
[18:49] <tjc> haha
[18:50] <fasolmi> bonsoir
[18:50] <fasolmi> j'ai besoin d'aide pour faire fonctionner ma showcam plus merci
[18:50] <leeeroooy_J> tjc: sudo apt-get purge flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer
[18:50] <rawfodog> Jordan_U ok just did it now what ?
[18:50] <HelloWorld321> I'm trying to add Ubuntu servers and clients to an existing Microsoft network, but I'm sorta new to Linux.  Should each new Ubuntu hard drive be partitioned into one big ext4 partition?  Or should I try to add NTFS (or other) partitions to them to make them more accessible from the Windows computer?
[18:50] <tjc> ok give a sec
[18:51] <xangua> !fr | fasolmi
[18:51] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: you need a driver ?
[18:51] <GatekeeperZA> [ VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6421 IDE RAID Controller ] - Ubuntu 11.04 help needed with ubuntu crashing
[18:51] <tensorpudding> HelloWorld321: you don't want to put windows partitions on the machines unless you actually plan to dual-boot
[18:51] <tjc> ok and now i have to re-install it right?
[18:51] <Jordan_U> rawfodog: You need to post the link to the pastebin.
[18:52] <tensorpudding> HelloWorld321: if you've got a microsoft network, you'll probably end up using samba/ldap/kerberos/whatever
[18:52] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn, not sure did modprobe etc... but nothing
[18:52] <leeeroooy_J> tjc: then sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer
[18:52] <leeeroooy_J> tjc: yes using the command i just gave you
[18:52] <leeeroooy_J> tjc: i forgot to ask, you re using firefox right?
[18:52] <alexsn_> HelloWorld321: the filesystem doesn't really matter
[18:52] <tjc> yep
[18:52] <alexsn_> HelloWorld321: it's all abstracted by the kernel
[18:52] <leeeroooy_J> tjc: its supposed to work now
[18:52] <leeeroooy_J> tjc: in 90% of the cases lol
[18:52] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: when is it crashing, on boot?
[18:52] <tjc> ok let me restart firefox
[18:53] <savid> tensorpudding,  ah, yes.  that does make a difference. :-P
[18:53] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, yes on boot sometimes passes but on drive access crashes
[18:53] <rawfodog> Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/Fu3c4vK2
[18:53] <Poindexter_> Dr_Willis does it really matter what directory I install Bahamut in?   e.g.,   /tmp/bahamut        should I unpack the compressed file before going through the make install   ?
[18:53] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: you got the panic message?
[18:54] <HelloWorld321> alexsn_: I've found an exception to that to be NTFS partitions installed under WUbI.  I'm getting ready to fix that.
[18:54] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, no panic just dead crash
[18:54] <dr_willis> Poindexter_,  read the docs on the app.. ive never used it or heard of it...
[18:54] <dr_willis> Poindexter_,  if you are compiling.. then it dosent matter where you extract the SOURCE to.
[18:54] <weirdpercent> I have tried reinstalling gnome-control-center and all related pkgs but still only have a Users icon, what happened to all the rest?
[18:54] <Poindexter_> Thanks that was the answer I was looking for.
[18:54] <dr_willis> Poindexter_,  useing make on a compressed archive.. wont do anything...
[18:54] <dr_willis> logical :)
[18:55] <Poindexter_> I understand that.
[18:55] <tensorpudding> Poindexter_: you need to decompress it, because the Makefile and source files need to be reachable in order to actually do anything
[18:55] <dr_willis> it should expaned into its own direcotry to keep things neat
[18:55] <Jordan_U> rawfodog: Was there any output from "touch /media/PENDRIVE/testfile"?
[18:55] <Poindexter_> I see.
[18:55] <adamonline45> Hello everyone!  I have a sad problem... There was a power outage at my house, and now I can't create or save files or folders or anything on my /home drive.  It says 'read only filesystem.'  What should I look for to fix this?
[18:55] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, any ideas...?
[18:56] <tensorpudding> adamonline45: it was probably marked as read-only due to needing to run fsck on it
[18:56] <tensorpudding> adamonline45: try rebooting
[18:56] <rawfodog> Jordan_U: There was no testfile
[18:56] <tjc> leeeroooy_J i have sent u in a private window
[18:56] <tensorpudding> adamonline45: when they reboot and are marked clean, they'll be mounted correctly
[18:56] <rawfodog> Jordan_U: Write and rewrite works. But that wont fix my problem for ever will it ?
[18:57] <rawfodog> Am I always going to have to mount my sdcard like this  ?
[18:57] <adamonline45> tensorpudding: I have rebooted, but I will try again :)
[18:58] <Jordan_U> rawfodog: Untill you can find the root problem that is causing it to be mounted read-only, yes.
[18:58] <Daekdroom> How do I check a FS UUID?
[18:58] <Jordan_U> Daekdroom: sudo blkid
[18:58] <rawfodog> k
[18:58] <rawfodog> Thanks man !
[18:58] <Daekdroom> Jordan_U: Oh, thank you. I didn't know you had to use sudo
[18:58] <Jordan_U> rawfodog: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg"?
[18:59] <Jordan_U> Daekdroom: You're welcome.
[18:59] <adamonline45> tensorpudding: Another thing, this is a raid 1 array, consisting of 2 disks.  I tried to check the filesystem using Disk Manager, but it said the [array/disk] was in use.
[18:59] <weirdpercent> Noone has heard of this problem with the System Settings panel missing icons?
[18:59] <Poindexter_> Adamonline45 the problem is that you didn't save your data before the power outage.
[18:59] <HelloWorld321> Would it be a good idea to reformat the WUbI installs, and install Ubuntu directly onto a brand new fresh NTFS partition?  Thus all the systems run NTFS, whether Windows or Ubuntu?
[18:59] <farr3ll> i got a problem today .a folder is named as movie and i move a file in . then the folder is disappeared!
[19:00] <farr3ll> but ls -a they are there
[19:00] <tensorpudding> adamonline45: i don't know about booting from RAID, but i guess it could be that one of your drives died
[19:00] <aeon-ltd> farr3ll: a .folder?
[19:00] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: how do you know it's the raid controller then?
[19:00] <adamonline45> tensorpudding: No, the array checks out fine.  It's just read only for whatever reason...
[19:00] <qin> farr3ll: CTRL-H in nautilus
[19:00] <tensorpudding> adamonline45: try logging out and unmounting it, then remounting it
[19:01] <farr3ll> no ,there's not a . in the folder's name
[19:01] <weirdpercent> HelloWorld321, there are programs to read ext2 and ext3 from Windows, and nfts3g can read NTFS partitions from Linux, so you can have interoperability without using Wubi
[19:01] <adamonline45> Poindexter_: I think you're implying I should have backed up my files.  The problem is not data loss, it's... permissions or something :)
[19:01] <adamonline45> tensorpudding: Remounting sounds promising... lemme see here...
[19:01] <dr_willis> You should always have backups...
[19:02] <alexsn_> HelloWorld321: there's a driver for windows which enables it to use extX fs
[19:02]  * dr_willis backups his backup of his backups...
[19:02] <qin> farr3ll: can you ls -la foldernamewithwildcard*
[19:02] <adamonline45> dr_willis: hehe... Good idea!
[19:02] <farr3ll> i can see nothing in the gnome folder manager.but i can see all my files in dolphin
[19:02] <dr_willis> found 2TB exteranl USB hd on clearance for $70
[19:02] <qin> farr3ll: also try find
[19:03] <weirdpercent> HelloWorld321, I advise against using Wubi, there are other interoperability solutions
[19:03] <farr3ll> u mean use * to find files?
[19:03] <dr_willis> farr3ll,  use the terminal aned look for the file/dirs
[19:03] <qin> farr3ll: ls -a mistery* so yue part of name of particular folder
[19:04] <qin> *use
[19:04] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=725736 just havent found a fix
[19:05] <farr3ll> yes , i use terminal , i got in the folder then type ls -a ,everything is there ,but in X ,i can see nothing
[19:05] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: let me have a look
[19:05] <HelloWorld321> tensorpudding, alexsn_, weirdpercent: tx.  I think I have some idea of what's going on.
[19:05] <qin> farr3ll: Does ls show folder to, and are we talking about one folde, right?
[19:06] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, thanks will be much appreciated...
[19:06] <HelloWorld321> tensorpudding, alexsn_, weirdpercent: Yes, WUbI seems to be my problem, not the partition scheme
[19:06] <HelloWorld321> Is it possible to remove WUbI without re-partitioning?
[19:06] <adamonline45> tensorpudding: Hmm, haven't unmounted it yet, but looking at fstab it has error=remount-ro... So I bet there was an error mounting it.  Do you know which log would have information on that?
[19:07] <farr3ll> right ! in the X ,i use gnome file manager , i can't see the folder called movie,but in terminal i can ,and also i can get in ,all my files are there .no one lost
[19:07] <weirdpercent> HelloWorld321, possibly, is there an uninstall entry in Windows control panel?
[19:07] <audifahrer> Hello
[19:07] <dr_willis> adamonline45,  if the system detexts a disk error.  as a safty feature it will remounte it read only. the dmesg logs should mention any issues.
[19:08] <qin> farr3ll: cp -r movie Newfoldername
[19:08] <dr_willis> adamonline45,  so if you see it suddently going 'read only' open up a term and check the output of the 'dmesg' command
[19:09] <tensorpudding> adamonline45: the kernel log, try looking at the file /var/log/dmesg
[19:09] <farr3ll> u mean copy it and move 2 other place? then rm -rf movie?
[19:09] <qin> farr3ll: No,
[19:09] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: have you tried passing 'noapic' to the kernel  on boot?
[19:09] <HelloWorld321> weirpercent: not sure, and can't check right now ... I'm backing up that hard drive ( in preparation of a re-partition :P )
[19:10] <farr3ll> i've already do that ,here's my question .i reinstalled the whole system .but the error still occured
[19:10] <Inspector> hello
[19:10] <qin> farr3ll: ls -l movie && ls -l Newfol* comaper permissions and owners
[19:10] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, no how would i go about doing that... ?
[19:10] <dr_willis> farr3ll,  i imagine the issue is some trivial fundamental thing you are overlooking like a permission, or owner
[19:11] <dr_willis> farr3ll,  what filesystem is the drive this Directory on?
[19:11] <farr3ll> i login as root , and u know ,it's still looks like that.i can do nothing about this :(
[19:12] <qin> farr3ll: Drop root at once!
[19:12] <farr3ll> i know ,it
[19:12] <farr3ll> it's dangerous.
[19:12] <qin> farr3ll: ls -l both folders
[19:12] <farr3ll> but why i can see every thing in dolphin ?
[19:13] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: open /etc/default/grub, add pci=noapic to the value GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX
[19:13] <Inspector> im getting hungry :P
[19:13] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: run update-grub after you're done
[19:13] <farr3ll> dr_willis>the filesystem is ext4
[19:13] <qin> farr3ll: And paste two lines, one for movies, one for Newfol
[19:14] <farr3ll> ok . i'll have a try thank u ! man :P
[19:15] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, brb checking
[19:15] <weirdpercent> who has heard of Control Panel issues in Natty?
[19:16] <nhr> Hi, is there way to disable suspend/sleep if ssh session is active on server?
[19:17] <nhr> I sometimes use ssh to login to my desktop from laptop - both ubuntu, but desktop goes to sleep if no one is working at console
[19:17] <alexsn_> nhr: take a look at /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[19:18] <weirdpercent> *sigh* guess I'll try the forums...
[19:18] <jaja> viresarp no detecta interfaz alguien me puede hecar una mano
[19:19] <rww> jaja: 1) #ubuntu-es for Spanish; 2) gksudo wireshark
[19:19] <nhr> alexsn_:thanks, cheking the file now
[19:20] <qin> nhr: /etc/pm/config.d and man pm-suspend , man pm-hibernate, looking into it.
[19:21] <nhr> qin: thanks, I could not figure out which key will impact in sshd_config
[19:22] <Pilopew_> hi
[19:22] <Inspector> hello anybody alive?
[19:23] <alexsn_> Inspector: what you need?
[19:23] <hypercity> hi ,i need some help on a instalation, it hangs on configuring apt(alternate cd install)
[19:24] <qin> nhr: Are you unity?
[19:24] <nhr> On desktop no, on laptop yes
[19:25] <qin> ok
[19:25] <hypercity> ivd red somewhere that using the ps ax command u can track and kill proceses with http but it throws me an error
[19:25] <poiytrea> ps aux | grep 'http'
[19:25] <usr13> hypercity: What error?
[19:26] <ezl_> is there a one liner to do a find/replace on a string in all files in a directory?
[19:26] <poiytrea> ezl_ you might want to use sed for that, but I don't know a one-liner
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> ezl_: i'd ask in #bash  but you will be using find, exec and sed
[19:26] <ezl_> i don't know how to make it do it across multiple files
[19:26] <usr13> hypercity: Yes, as poiytrea says   ps aux | grep http   should show you processes and explainations that contain the string http
[19:26] <ezl_> the sed part makes sense to me
[19:27] <tonsofpcs> ezl_: find can run a command on all files.
[19:27] <hypercity> usr13: -ax is not an option for ps....i have no network on the pc with the in stall i asume that is scanning for mirrors
[19:27] <tonsofpcs> man find
[19:27] <RenaKunisaki> -ax is the same as -a -x
[19:27] <usr13> hypercity: What?
[19:27] <alexsn_> ezl: for file in `ls -1`; do sed -i 's/from_str/to_str/g' done
[19:27] <dageriv> lets say I expect a vector in a method argument, and im gonna return a string. what do i do if the vector is empty? throw exception?
[19:27] <hypercity> usr13: thx i'try that now
[19:28] <llutz> ezl_: sed -i 'foo' *
[19:28] <var9> sup
[19:28] <ezl_> llutz, thanks trying that
[19:28] <alexsn_> ezl_: actually check if the entry is indeed a file
[19:28] <ezl_> so do i pipe the output of find to sed?
[19:29] <nhr> ezl_:perl -p -i.bak -e 's/\bfoo\b/bar/g' *.c
[19:29] <qin> nhr: How do you connect you your desktop, if it is suspended?
[19:29] <netcoder> Hi. I have a Toshiba C655 which gets hotter because the fan does not runs as it does in win7, whats the safest way to fine tune it?
[19:29] <nhr> I use wakeup on lan
[19:29] <alexsn_> ezl: for file in `ls -1`; do if [ -f $file ]; then sed -i 's/from_str/to_str/g'  $file fi done
[19:29] <nhr> Have small shellscript on my laptop to wake it up
[19:29] <usr13> netcoder: Set it on a block of ice.
[19:29] <milamber> ps doesn't require the '-'  this is the way to go from the terminal: ps ax
[19:29] <roestzwii> hey
[19:29] <qin> nhr: So, dich gnome power manager, and control suspend from crontab
[19:30] <qin> well, hibernate.
[19:30] <nhr> qin:ok, can you point me to any howtos? I am new to ubuntu
[19:30] <hypercity> usr13: i get ps: invalid option --'a' on the ps aux | grep http command
[19:31] <usr13> hypercity: That is interesting.
[19:31] <alexsn_> hypercity: try 'ps -ef'
[19:31] <ezl_> alexsn_ how do i run your command?
[19:31] <qin> nhr: for crontab?
[19:32] <nhr> qin:for ditching gnome power manager
[19:32] <hypercity> usr13: ps:invalid option -- 'e'
[19:32] <milamber> hypercity: can you do just: ps ax
[19:33] <qin> nhr: Just make everything run forever, all suspend/hibernate to never
[19:33] <alexsn_> ezl_: cd into the dir you want and run 'for file in `ls -1`; do if [ -f $file ]; then sed 's/thaw/alexsn/g' $file; fi; done'
[19:33] <llutz> hypercity: the installer uses busybox, only limited options for commands are available
[19:33] <alexsn_> ezl_: cd into the dir you want and run 'for file in `ls -1`; do if [ -f $file ]; then sed -i 's/thaw/alexsn/g' $file; fi; done'
[19:33] <usr13> hypercity: Are you working on a fully installed Ubuntu system?
[19:33] <hypercity> milamber: ps: invalid option --'a'
[19:33] <alexsn_> ezl_: forgot -i, very important
[19:33] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, working ta.
[19:33] <ezl_> thanks trying
[19:33] <netcoder> usr13:  I'm going to take your response, as it is.  Let me play with it. Thanks
[19:34] <hypercity> usr13: i'm tring to install
[19:34] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: sweet
[19:34] <usr13> hypercity: So you are in the install process?
[19:34] <GatekeeperZA> alexsn_, you can say that again
[19:34] <alexsn_> GatekeeperZA: sat what?
[19:34] <usr13> hypercity: And so, what is it exactly, that you are trying to do?
[19:35] <qin> nhr: Then, make lock file based on who or w, and second job with pm-hibernate checking if lock exist.
[19:36] <hypercity> usr13: ps works but the output is too long and goes offscreen , ii'm tring to kill the proceses that are tring to scan mirrors on the internet...and hangs mi instalation on configuring apt mirrors

[19:37] <Renekton> hi all
[19:37] <Inspector> hello, bonjour, hallo hallo
[19:37] <usr13> hypercity: Are  you sure that's what it's doing?
[19:37] <usr13> hypercity: ps aux |grep apt
[19:37] <Inspector> netstat -an | more
[19:37] <Inspector> bye
[19:38] <hypercity> usr13: the installer says that
[19:38] <Renekton> how have to set fstab to mount on boot sshfs?
[19:38] <usr13> hypercity: ps ux |grep apt
[19:38] <tripp> im trying to install java i keep on getting "sun-java6-jre has no installation canidate"
[19:39] <hypercity> usr13: i still get the invalid option error
[19:39] <hypercity> i'm desprate
[19:39] <usr13> hypercity: Does this machine have intenet connection?
[19:39] <hypercity> no
[19:39] <usr13> hypercity: Can you connect it to an internet facing router?
 you aren't the only one
[19:39] <mooseburger> I'm having trouble booting from an Ubuntu 11.04 live USB
[19:40] <usr13> hypercity: ps ux  gives the invalid option error too?
[19:40] <mooseburger> After I pick choose Install Ubuntu or any  option in the menu, the computer restarts
[19:40] <Kayne> Hello? can anyone help me?
[19:40] <Newbee> Wat is the trouble
[19:40] <HelloWorld321> tripp: were you the one asking about sun-java-6 earlier?  You need to add a repository to your apt-get
[19:40] <llutz> hypercity: ps --help     to find out what options are available
[19:41] <tripp> helloworld321 i added the lucid partner to the apt-get
[19:41] <Kayne> I can't get Testdisk to load
[19:41] <hypercity> usr13: i dont have a configured network interface ....same error
[19:41] <th0r> Kayne: what is testdisk?
[19:42] <tripp> the i updated, and then i attempted sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre  sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts
[19:42] <mooseburger> After I choose Install Ubuntu or any  option in the menu, the computer restarts
[19:42] <HelloWorld321> Tripp: okay.  I guess you have Lucid?  That's about as far as I can get you.
[19:42] <HelloWorld321> Tripp: http://www.multimediaboom.com/how-to-install-java-in-ubuntu-11-04-natty-narwhal-ppa/
[19:42] <mooseburger> Does anyone know about that?
[19:42] <Kayne> It s a file recovery program, bundled with photorec
[19:42] <hypercity> usr13: even ps --help doesnt work
[19:42] <rubenjr> does anyone know if theres a driver other than the proprietary one to better suit ati cards
[19:42] <usr13> hypercity: I just don't think you are going to find those options in the install program's enviornment.
[19:42] <th0r> Kayne: and why would ubuntu support know about this?
[19:43] <tripp> this is what i am getting "Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source"
[19:43] <hypercity> i guess i  just have to wait that it times out
[19:43] <tripp> followed by "E: Package sun-java6-jre has no installation canidate
 because I was told to use it bu someone on theis very forum  three days ago
[19:43] <usr13> hypercity: I must admit, it is a bit difficult to do an install without internet connection.  At some point you need it.   At the login screen down the bottom select ubuntu classic
[19:45] <var9> ty
[19:45] <Nobgul-BNC> That will give you back the old looking desktop =)
[19:45] <erikaflusa> i have question on ubuntu 11.04
[19:45] <Kayne> [th0r] I have been trying to run it using the sudo command but i keep being told ht the caommand is not found. what's worse is that i can't seem to find a single .exe program for anythinng in ubuntu
[19:45] <Nobgul-BNC> our welcome var9
[19:45] <var9> <3 and sry if I offended anyone
[19:45] <erikaflusa> is java an firefox stable
[19:45] <th0r> Kayne: you won't find exe files in ubuntu...it isn't windows
[19:46] <erikaflusa> tried playing yahoo spades
[19:46] <usr13> hypercity: I have yet to try to do a Ubuntu install on a PC that didn't have an internet connection, so this is a bit in the unchartered territory for me.
[19:46] <erikaflusa> firefox crashed
[19:46] <hypercity> usr13: tring to get a ethernet cable at this point of instalation can help, i choosed to configure network at a later time , other than this the instalation is realy slow, like 2 houers now  and i dont want to start all over again
[19:46] <hypercity> can help?
[19:47] <erikaflusa> has anyone else had similar  issue
[19:47] <Kayne> [Thor] I understand this is not windows, hence the reason I am asking for help  All I want is to recover my media files that windowns can't seem to access on my HD
[19:47] <wrek-gar> can someone tell me what the following means:
[19:47] <wrek-gar> WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in a future release.
[19:47] <san> please someone helpme please
[19:47] <th0r> Kayne: this testdisk appears to be a windows program.
[19:48] <san> from past 1 week internet is damn slow in ubuntu
[19:48] <san> i m running 9.10
[19:48] <HelloWorld321> tripp: I did it.  I remember I had a bunch of trouble
[19:48] <HelloWorld321> tripp: I think that's as far as I can get you.
[19:48] <Bfh> kayne: were the files deleted or were they on windows, and you installed linux on same hdd ?
[19:48] <Kayne> [th0r] it is also a Mac os and Linux program sir
[19:48] <san> it gets disconnected automatically
[19:48] <llutz> wrek-gar: there will be a time all config files have to be rename following new conventions, /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper  has to be called /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper.conf then
[19:48] <oCean> san: 9.10 is end-of-life
[19:48] <tripp> helloworld321 thanks for the help, i know i did it once before i just cant figure out how to do it now
[19:48] <oCean> !eol | san
[19:49] <llutz> wrek-gar: nothing to worry about yes, just a warning
[19:49] <usr13> hypercity: Sorry, but without knowing what application is hanging it up, I don't know.  And even if you did kill the offending application, I'm not sure it would solve the problem and continue the install.  But... I'm not totally sure thats what is hanging you up.  Could be, and if so, I would assume there is a timeout, no telling how long it is tho.  Maybe someone else on here will chime in.
[19:49] <llutz> yet*
[19:49] <io> wrek-gar: it looks like said file should end in .conf
[19:49] <san> ocean i am afraid any later version doesnt run in my pc
[19:49] <wols> th0r: /msg ubottu info testdisk
[19:49] <tripp> helloworld321 would openJDK java 6 runtime do the same thing as sun java?
[19:49] <adamonline45> darn it, I should have auto-yes'd this e2fsck...  Can I halt it safely and restart it?
[19:49] <oCean> san: there are lightweight versions, such as lubuntu
[19:50] <th0r> wols: yeah...finally got a response from the homepage, I see it now
[19:50] <var9> Nobgul-BNC, i dont see the option at login
[19:50] <Kayne> [th0r] No, theonly thing on the HD I am trying to access were these media files It was a slave drive. However windows can no longer rcognize the drive, can no longer assign a driver letter.
[19:50] <san> i cant understand why any other version doesnt run on my pc?
[19:50] <san> i tried 10.04 10.10 and 11.04
[19:50] <san> all with cd and usb
[19:50] <san> even tried to upgrade through update center
[19:50] <san> everytime setup hangs
[19:50] <d9500> san: this may be heresy to say in here...but
[19:51] <d9500> have you tried other distros?
[19:51] <var9> Nobgul-BNC, nevermind just founnd it
[19:51] <var9> sry
[19:51] <Nobgul-BNC> var9,  It's down the botttom there is aplace hwere you can change keyboard layout etc.
[19:51] <var9> ya
[19:51] <HelloWorld321> tripp: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-install-sun-java-runtime-environment-jre-in-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html ?  There's also some user comments that might be applicable toyou.
[19:51] <Nobgul-BNC> Let me see if i can find you a screenshot real quick
[19:51] <san> 2gb ram 1tb harddisk dualcore processor
[19:51] <Nobgul-BNC> Or are you saying that you do not have the ubuntu classic option?
[19:51] <san> i saw minimum req. i have enough still later versions dont work
[19:51] <jessicajames> chetori folana mikoni, Nobgul-BNC
[19:52] <th0r> Kayne: is this a usb drive?
[19:52] <Nobgul-BNC> Yes jessicajames
[19:52] <HelloWorld321> tripp: more or less.  But the Sun one is preferable for certain things, like I think the Open JDK doesn't have a v6 or something?
[19:53] <Kayne> (th0r) It is now. Its a n internal drive i made external with a HD enclosure,  connected to my usb. However, when it was Internal, I had the same issues
[19:53] <HelloWorld321> tripp: anyway, that's about all I got for you.  I don't remember much more.  I think DrWillis described the process as "trivial", but I don't think he's here now
[19:53] <Nobgul-BNC> var9, I am unable to find a sceenshot sorry.
[19:53] <usr13> Kayne: And what issues were those?  Can't access it?
[19:53] <tripp> ty helloworld 321 i appreciate it
[19:54] <th0r> Kayne: unplug the drive, open a terminal, and at the terminal prompt type 'tail -f /var/log/messages'. Then plug in the drive, and see if lines show up to indicate it is being recognized....should be /dev/sdb or some such
[19:54] <usr13> Kayne: Let me ask  you this;  Does the drive have any partitions on it?
[19:54] <Kayne> (Bfh) my copy of linux/ubuntu is running on an usb stick atm it is not installed anythere but the zip drive stick
[19:54] <th0r> Kayne: no wait...
[19:54] <th0r> Kayne: I think the new ubuntu uses /var/syslog
[19:55] <Kayne> [usr 13 0 no i cannot access the drive
[19:55] <Kayne> [usr] 13  it was juat a slave drive
[19:55] <wrek-gar> is there anyone here using a wireless network?
[19:56] <usr13> th0r: I think we still have both.  And it's /var/log/syslog, isn't it?
[19:56] <Kayne> [th0r] so whtn whay should i do?
[19:56] <usr13> Kayne: tail -f /var/log/messages
[19:56] <th0r> usr13: yeah, I missed a bit <smile>.
[19:57] <Kayne> [usr13] and where should i type this  in termainal?
[19:57] <var9> |  |  |||||||||||
[19:57] <usr13> Kayne: Yes
[19:57] <usr13> Kayne: And then unplug and plug it back in and see what it says....
