[13:14] <Knofensa> Hi guys. I got a question... :) I want to mount my HDD. I'm currently on a Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Live-CD. Can somebody show me how?
[13:14] <AgenteD> #ubuntu-br
[13:15] <WhiteDawn> Konfensa: system/administration/diskutility will let you mount that easily
[13:15] <pooki> WhiteDawn: what is the motherboard's name going to help with?
[13:15] <WhiteDawn> pooki: finding drivers, or if anyone else allready had your problem and found a fix
[13:17] <Bulldog\\> Anyone here with experience in booting ubuntu from an USB on a Lenovo ThinkPad X61 Tablet?
[13:17] <Knofensa> WhiteDawn I think there's nothing like that on Feisty Fawn :( At least I can't find anything. My friend said that you need to do that over the Terminal, but I have no clue how to :(
[13:17] <pooki> WhiteDawn: That's fine, this is too much trouble FWIW. Thanks a lot for your help and have a good day.
[13:17] <Tobarja> since i switched to ubuntu for one of my servers, every time i open screen, my putty window resizes itself. any ideas what's causing that?
[13:18] <abhi_nav> !mount
[13:18] <howlymowly> hi poeple...   i just resized my root partition..  but for some reason ubuntu does still only recognize the "old " size of the partition..  how can I force ubuntu to run a disk check at next start up?
[13:18] <DarthPuff> hey there, how do i echo the output of a command into a text file?
[13:19] <Knofensa> abhi_nav thanks! I'll take a look
[13:19] <abhi_nav> howlymowly: fsck
[13:19] <abhi_nav> Knofensa: :D
[13:19] <klappi> DarthPuff, > and >>
[13:19] <mikeconcepts> is there a beta for ubuntu netbook remix such that we may experience the fruits of 10.4 now?
[13:19] <howlymowly> abhi_nav:  I can not use fsck on a running system abhi_nav... it says "Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause
[13:19] <howlymowly> SEVERE filesystem damage."
[13:20] <WhiteDawn> Knofensa: yeah you need to run mount, "man mount" will give you a bassis. Learning by yourself would give you more experience, but if you have trouble don't be afraid to ask
[13:20] <DarthPuff> klappi: so i would type ls -R >> index.txt?
[13:20] <abhi_nav> howlymowly: hmm
[13:21] <DarthPuff> klappi: i think i use one > in this case
[13:21] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[13:21] <Tetracomm> Has anyone had a problem with choppy audio since they upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10?
[13:21] <ctmiller> good morning, all.
[13:26] <Slart> holmser: sudo touch /forcefsck   should do it
[13:26] <nhak> hi, what is the command to count the number of files in a directory ?
[13:27] <n1b> Tetracomm: you should check launchpad as they introduced power-saving into the kernel for alsa i think!..and for a few its buggy
[13:27] <Slart> nhak: ls | wc -l    might work..
[13:27] <meganerd> nhak: ls -a |wc -l
[13:27] <Tetracomm> n1b: Ok, could you help me through this? I don't really know what i'm doing.
[13:28] <nhak> Slart,meganerd, thanks it works :)
[13:28] <Gnea> nhak: find . -maxdepth 1 -type f | wc -l
[13:28] <daveonearth> i am trying to find out why mark shuttleworths 10 million pound attempt to market here failed
[13:28] <daveonearth> does any one know ?
[13:28] <meganerd> nhak: just subtract one from the answer, since the first line is counted and it is not a file
[13:28] <meganerd> daveonearth: where is "here"
[13:28] <Slart> daveonearth: wrong channel.. try #ubuntu-offtopic
[13:28] <daveonearth> Sorry
[13:28] <daveonearth> South africa
[13:28] <Gnea> daveonearth: care to be more specific?
[13:29] <meganerd> daveonearth: no idea
[13:29] <daveonearth> ok thanks
[13:29] <Knofensa> abhi_nav WhiteDawn I'm really sorry..but I still can't get it to work :( My problem is, that I need to move a file from here to my windows system32, but whenever I do that over the normal filesystem browser, It tells me that I don't have permission to write on that /dev/sdb/
[13:30] <abhi_nav> Knofensa change permissions using chown and chmod (dont know much)
[13:30] <quietone> Jimi_Neutral: have you tried www.proftpd.org?  there is a support forum, docs and how-tos there. good night all.
[13:31] <meganerd> Knofensa: is /dev/sdb the hard drive where windows is installed?  If so you probably need to specify the partition number
[13:31] <n1b> Tetracomm: im new to! just a little research ive done while trying to debug my soundcard !
[13:31] <meganerd> Knofensa: "sudo parted /dev/sdb print" should be a good start
[13:32] <Jimi_Neutral> i just give up
[13:32] <Jimi_Neutral> i cant be assed no more
[13:32] <Jimi_Neutral> i didnt sign up for this shit
[13:33] <Knofensa> meganerd yes it is the HDD where windows is installed on! lemme try sudo parted /dev/sdb print
[13:33] <Knofensa> meganerd http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/vdd0fLs5
[13:33] <Knofensa> what does it say here?
[13:34] <Knofensa> I don't get it :(
[13:35] <histo> Knofensa: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[13:35]  * Jaunty is back (gone 00:34:31)
[13:35] <Knofensa> histo feisty fawn live-cd
[13:35] <Knofensa> histo i still had that one lying around..
[13:36] <histo> Knofensa: I believe feisty used to mount windows partitions as read only
[13:36] <DarkStar1> where does ~/ translate to?
[13:36] <histo> !ntfs-3g | Knofensa
[13:36] <DarkStar1> anyone?
[13:36] <Knofensa> histo can i read/write with that?
[13:36] <joshua__> anyone know how I fix a "Device not Managed" for my wireless network?
[13:37] <histo> DarkStar1: /home/DarkStar1
[13:37] <Knofensa> histo i did this before --> sudo apt-get install ntfs-config but it said it doesnt find the package
[13:37] <histo> DarkStar1: ~ just means /home/username
[13:37] <meganerd> Knofensa: /dev/sdb1 is the windows partition.
[13:37] <DarkStar1> histo: thanks
[13:37] <linus> how to work with semaphores?????
[13:37] <linus> in linux
[13:37] <linus> kernel
[13:37] <jefferson_maran> hi,  how  i install the drivers the eeepc 701 into the remix 9.10 ubuntu?
[13:37] <histo> !info ntfs-config feisty | Knofensa
[13:37] <meganerd> Knofensa: like someone else mentioned, you should have ntfs-3g installed and you should be able to read and write directly to that partition
[13:38] <histo> meganerd: Knofensa he may not have it installed on feisty
[13:38] <Knofensa> meganerd if its no problem could you help me install it? i totally have no clue how
[13:38] <meganerd> feisty?  wow that is old
[13:38] <abhi_nav> linus: what is semaphores? I used to know it before but now forgot
[13:38] <wyzryyn> hi how can i change characters coding (utf-8 to another) in text mode console ?
[13:38] <linus> hey...its used for IPC
[13:38] <abhi_nav> Knofensa: but why you dont use latest version?
[13:39] <abhi_nav> linus: now what is IPC?
[13:39] <joshua__> anyone know how I fix a "Device not Managed" for my wireless network?
[13:39] <histo> Knofensa: http://www.howtoforge.com/ntfs_3g_ubuntu_feisty
[13:39] <linus> abhi_nav:inter process communication
[13:39] <meganerd> Knofensa: "sudo aptitude install ntfs-3g" should do it
[13:39] <tomusic> hi, one question: My grandma says her laptop is too slow: Vista. Now i want to install Ubuntu, but is it really that easy to use? She's not very good with computers.
[13:39] <abhi_nav> linus: yah
[13:39] <histo> Knofensa: the other option is to use a newer version of ubuntu.
[13:39] <jefferson_maran> how I install the acpi drivers into  eeepc with 9.10 remix version
[13:39] <histo> Knofensa: or you can follow that howto
[13:39] <linus> abhi_nav:i want to know more about it
[13:39] <meganerd> tomusic: try it out with her with the Live CD.  That is what it is for
[13:39] <skydrome> whats the difference between 'sudo -i' and 'sudo -s'?
[13:39] <abhi_nav> linus: google dont help?
[13:40] <histo> Knofensa: basically sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[13:40] <tomusic> meganerd: ok... thats an idea. thanks!
[13:40] <histo> Knofensa: and ntfs-config needs to be installed as well.
[13:41] <meganerd> skydrome: man sudo
[13:41] <pablo_> hola
[13:41] <arch0njw> skydrome: man sudo ... -i simulates and -s runs as a shell environment ... and man sudo explains it more.
[13:41] <skydrome> ok ty
[13:41] <arch0njw> !es | pablo_
[13:41] <Knofensa> histo & meganerd it doesnt find those packages..
[13:41] <histo> Knofensa: is the machine on the internet?
[13:41] <Knofensa> yep
[13:42] <abhi_nav> Knofensa: but why you dont use latest version?
[13:42] <Knofensa> and if i try that howto histo, i finds some ntfs stuff but not ntfs-3g
[13:42] <Knofensa> abhi_nav because i cant burn it to a CD-ROM here..
[13:42] <histo> Knofensa: ahh looks like the feisty repos are gone
[13:42] <Knofensa> where can i get the latest live-cd?
[13:43] <meganerd> Knofensa: ubuntu.com
[13:43] <abhi_nav> Knofensa: you can try usb installation
[13:43] <Knofensa> whats that abhi_nav
[13:43] <abhi_nav> Knofensa: you can install ubuntu from usb pen drive
[13:43] <victoria> HOLA
[13:43] <histo> Knofensa: he was saying you can put it on usb and boot from there if you cant burn a cd.
[13:43] <Jaunty> victoria ola
[13:43] <histo> Knofensa: feisty is no longer supported. thats why you are having issues
[13:44] <abhi_nav> Knofensa: yah, you can have iso of latest version, then put it in usb using unetbootin and then you are ready you can boot into liveusb or if want can install ubuntu from there
[13:44] <Knofensa> abhi_nav i dont want to install it. i just want to use it to move one file
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> Yo yo yo
[13:44] <abhi_nav> !unetbootin | Knofensa
[13:44] <histo> Knofensa: then I would download a later version
[13:45] <histo> Knofensa: and just burn a cd.
[13:45] <abhi_nav> knofensa: yah you can use it as exactly that of lice cd
[13:45] <abhi_nav> Knofensa: yah you can use it as exactly that of lice cd
[13:45] <DarkStar1> ANyone here know how to correct the keymap so that the keys typed are correct for tightvnc?
[13:45] <histo> Knofensa: the version you still have laying around was before we had write support for ntfs partitions in linux supported out of the box.
[13:45] <ori> Help. How do I add cd drives to mount images?
[13:45] <Knofensa> abhi_nav histo ive found this 9.10 version..i can use that as live-cd too right?

[13:46] <Knofensa> ;)
[13:46] <wyzryyn> guys, is that possible to change characters coding (e.g. utf-8 > iso-8859-2) in "text mode" console?
[13:46] <Jimi_Neutral> Ok back to the drawing board....gadmin-proftpd sucks cause the gui doesnt even work. So, does anyone here use an FTP server on an ubuntu box that uses a GUI for administration of it. I need a GUI cause im no good with command line and I need to do a very specific thing...i.e. I need to give a user on our network access to this server but only to one folder. please for the love of everything that is holy help m e so i can get my boss off my back
[13:46] <jakiw> I have problems creating a partition on a Cruzer ScanDrive USB-Stick
[13:46] <histo> Knofensa: 10.04 is the next version due out that will be a LTS  long term support 8.04 was the last LTS.  9.10 is one of the ones in between
[13:46] <efaistos> hi
[13:47] <Knofensa> histo there'll be no problems with 9.10 i guess?
[13:47] <histo> Knofensa: the new version I believe automoutns the drive read/write
[13:47] <abhi_nav> Knofensa: no.
[13:47] <ori> Help. How do I add cd drives to mount .iso images?
[13:47] <abhi_nav> Knofensa: no. problem.
[13:47] <histo> Knofensa: shouldn't be any issues
[13:47] <efaistos> does someone have an issue to boot without GDM ?
[13:47] <DarkStar1> how do I stop gdm?
[13:47] <jakiw> When I say gparted to create a partition I get: /dev/sdb1 conains a mounted file system
[13:47] <histo> ori: put the cd in the drive
[13:47] <Knofensa> so 9.10 does that too right?
[13:47] <efaistos> DarkStar1: /etc/init.d/gdm stop ?
[13:47] <histo> ori: you want to make an iso from a cd or write an iso?
[13:47] <ynk> hi guys! i'm running Karmic on a laptop that has Radeon HD 3200. i could not find a driver for it--the link is broken on the AMD site. am i out of luck?
[13:47] <abhi_nav> Knofensa: yah
[13:47] <histo> Knofensa: yes
[13:47] <dr3mro> please i am a noob in linux and i had past experince years ago to c programing but i want to learn c++ and gtk and i want to chose between to IDEs geany and netbeans ... wheich is most suitable for ubuntu developing gtk apps
[13:48] <Knofensa> alright guys, ill be back later!
[13:48] <histo> ynk: system > admin > hardware drivers
[13:48] <ori> histo: i have an iso
[13:48] <jakiw> When I say gparted to create a partition I get: /dev/sdb1 conains a mounted file system
[13:48] <abhi_nav> dr3mro: i dont use the first one, i used netbeans. so dont know hows that first one
[13:48] <ori> histo: i actually have two,and want them mounted at the same time
[13:48] <efaistos> I have a laptop with an ubuntu on it ... and I cant start it without gdm installed :(
[13:48] <ynk> histo, i've had some bad experiences with going with that method--the screen would turn black for good! but i'll give it another try... :]
[13:48] <efaistos> got a black screen ...
[13:48] <histo> ori: use the loop option
[13:48] <jimcooncat> how to install zimbra desktop on karmic? I tried searching for "zimbra-desktop" and "zdesktop".
[13:49] <ori> histo: whats that?
[13:49] <histo> !ati | ynk
[13:49] <Dehivis> alguien habla español???
[13:49] <histo> ori: you can mount iso's like they are burnt to a disk
[13:49] <abhi_nav> !es | Dehivis
[13:49] <jefferson_maran> yo
[13:49] <ynk> histo, thanks buddy.
[13:49] <histo> ori: sudo mount -o loop isoimage mountpoint
[13:49] <jakiw> how was the programm called u could make bootable USB-Devices with?
[13:50] <efaistos> any idea ?
[13:50] <Christoph^1> Linux has the "Everything is a file"-philosophy. How come network interfaces are no files?
[13:50] <histo> Christoph^1: /etc/network/interfaces
[13:50] <ori> histo: isoimage: No such file or directory
[13:50] <abhi_nav> net......yah network intercaes are files too
[13:50] <histo> Christoph^1: you can configure them there
[13:50] <meganerd> histo: he means the device itself, and it does, just not in /dev
[13:51] <dr3mro> abhi_nav, is it easy to use netbeans to create simple c++ and gtkmm ?? i am not so experinced with GUI programing just old days console programing with C / Basic
[13:51] <histo> ori: no you would do it like this sudo mount -o <nameofisofile> <mountpoint>
[13:51] <jakiw> how was the programm called u could make bootable USB-Devices with?
[13:51] <histo> ori: you specify the name of the iso and the mouwhere you want to mount it.
[13:51] <histo> jakiw: unetbootin?
[13:51] <ori> histo: um... can we do it together? :)
[13:51] <Christoph^1> histo: I mean, device files, such as Sound output is a device file (/dev/audio), hard drives are files (/dev/sda ...), except network interfaces, they only have names.
[13:51] <abhi_nav> dr3mro: I prefer netbeans, codelite and eclipse and for gtk.......dont know never used
[13:51] <meganerd> Christoph^1: what are you trying to do?
[13:51] <arch0njw> !unetbootin | jakiw
[13:52] <meganerd> Christoph^1: you may want to look in /sys
[13:52] <ori> histo: wait, let me see...
[13:52] <Christoph^1> meganerd: I'm trying to understand why "everything is a file" does not apply to network interfaces
[13:52] <meganerd> Christoph^1: read the source code
[13:52] <abhi_nav> Christoph^1: #linux
[13:52] <jakiw> arch0njw, histo no, it was something that was called with a logical name (only words)....u could chose an image and a flash drive
[13:52] <Christoph^1> abhi_nav: ok
[13:52] <Jimi_Neutral> please someone help
[13:52] <abhi_nav> Christoph^1: :D
[13:52] <histo> ori: the mountpoint has to be a directory
[13:53] <linus> abhi_nav: google doesnt help......want to know how it works....any example?
[13:53] <ori> histo: i did this: sudo mount -o loop /home/ori/Desktop/Counter Strike Condition Zero/CS-CZ-CD2.ISO /media/cdrom
[13:53] <abhi_nav> linus: #linux
[13:53] <linus> abhi_nav:??
[13:53] <histo> ori: so you can sudo mkdir /media/whatever   then sudo mount -o loop name_of_iso_file /media/whatever
[13:53] <abhi_nav> linus: join channel #linux by typing /join #linux
[13:53] <arch0njw> jakiw: USB Startup Disk Creator ... use it lots.  very awesome.
[13:53] <histo> ori: okay does the /media/cdrom folder exist?
[13:53] <ori> histo, ok... yea i think so...
[13:53] <histo> ori: also you can just install cs from steam
[13:53] <arch0njw> jakiw: is in the repositories as long as you're on a current release.
[13:54] <jakiw> histo, arch0njw, I want to install Windows from a USB-Stick, because my Optical is broken, and I need windows at school atm
[13:54] <histo> ori: ls /media/   to see if its there and not being used
[13:54] <abhi_nav> this is ubuntu support channel jakiw
[13:54] <meganerd> jakiw: you may not be able to do that
[13:54] <histo> jakiw: /j #windows
[13:54] <histo> jakiw: I believe that violates their EULA but they would know in there.
[13:54] <ori> histo: cdrom  cdrom0
[13:54] <arch0njw> jakiw: WHAT?!    I know little about that, but that would be the general path.
[13:54] <meganerd> jakiw: consider virtualbox if you really need that other OS
[13:54] <ori> histo, cdrom is beingused
[13:55] <histo> ori: okay well make a new folder then
[13:55] <ori> histo, how?
[13:55] <recon69_lap> hi all, just got my HDTV and wondering how to update my x-config to twinscreen. cant save update to config file due to permissions.
[13:55] <histo> ori: sudo mkdir /media/counterstrike
[13:55] <exploreralex> can v make a usb startup disk for linux ubuntu 9.10 server edition?
[13:55] <histo> ori: then do the mount command
[13:55] <jakiw> arch0njw, meganerd, hist, abhi_nav, Ye, but I want to do it from Ubuntu not from Windows, and in #Windows they will tell me how to do it on windows
[13:55] <abhi_nav> exploreralex: yes
[13:55] <ori> histo, which command?
[13:55] <histo> ori: the mount one
[13:55] <jkd4> could anyone tell me how to setup ubuntu with the bottom panal looking somewhat like the one on windows 7? I just want it so the applications I have running are shown as Icons, without names. Anyone know how to do this?
[13:56] <meganerd> jakiw: I have never managed to get it to work
[13:56] <ori> histo, this? sudo mount -o loop /home/ori/Desktop/Counter Strike Condition Zero/CS-CZ-CD2.ISO /media/cdrom
[13:56] <recon69_lap> ori: you could also try out urban terrorist for free :)
[13:56] <arch0njw> jakiw: wait... how are you going to get a Windows ISO if you don't have a working optical drive?
[13:56] <ori> I will after!
[13:56] <abhi_nav> jakiw: you know how to use unetbootin? follow standard procedure. if works, great, if not, you are violation some big big and lots of laws
[13:56] <abhi_nav> jakiw: :P
[13:56] <histo> ori: sudo mkdir /media/counterstrike && sudo mount -o loop /home/ori/Desktop/Counter Strike Condition Zero/CS-CZ-CD2.iso /media/counterstrike
[13:56] <ori> histo, this? sudo mount -o loop /home/ori/Desktop/Counter Strike Condition Zero/CS-CZ-CD2.ISO /media/cdrom
[13:56] <arch0njw> jakiw: if you can manage to get one, then you would still use USB creator to "burn" the ISO to the USB.  In theory, you would then be able to boot from the CD.
[13:57] <jakiw> arch0jw i have a Windows 7 CD from my Laptop, and the drive is broken...there was one
[13:57] <arch0njw> jakiw: gah!  I mean USB.
[13:57] <meganerd> jakiw: even the live windows CDs rarely work, so your best bet is to use Virtualbox until you sort out your cd/dvd drive
[13:57] <abhi_nav> jkd4: you may want to try kubuntu-desktop
[13:57] <ori> histo,it didnt do anything
[13:57] <histo> ori: it didn't give an error?
[13:57] <jkd4> abhi_nav: ok
[13:57] <jakiw> arch0njw Yem but I just saw that formatting doesnt work. Neither gparted nor USB Creator can format it
[13:57] <ori> histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/401169/ thats everything
[13:57] <jkd4> abhi_nav: thanks. where do I find that?
[13:57] <recon69_lap> how do you start the system->preferances->display to run as admin?
[13:58] <abhi_nav> jkd4: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[13:58] <tomiondrums> hi,
[13:58] <tomiondrums> i've got a nvidia quadro nvs 290 graphics adapter installed in my ubuntu karmic workstation and i can't get dual headed graphics working with it.
[13:58] <tomiondrums> when i try to configure it using the nvidia-settings tool i can't get a resolution beyond 640x480 on my second monitor (both monitors are NEC MultiSync EA221WM).
[13:58] <tomiondrums> i downloaded and installed the 195.36.15 driver for the card but it works as bad as the 185.18.36. configuring the card manually via the xorg.conf doesn't work at all. either xorg doesn't start up or i starts with the second monitor disabled. i've tried nearly everything possible and impossible but i don't come to grips with it...
[13:58] <tomiondrums> maybe the whole problem is related to an EDID-misbehaviour but i can't tell... anyway when i try to get-edid|parse-edid the monitor is not being detected correctly (it says ModelName "AXR:1600" instead of something with "NEC")
[13:58] <tomiondrums> this is my current xorg-log http://pastebin.com/NfVaSMKb
[13:58] <tomiondrums> and this is my current xorg.conf http://pastebin.com/sHnU226m    (this one causes X to start with just the primary display, the secondary is disabled)
[13:58] <FloodBot1> tomiondrums: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:58] <abhi_nav> jkd4: then at the time of login you can choose between gnome and kde.
[13:58] <arch0njw> jakiw: format it what, your USB drive?  that sounds like a diff problem.  I've formatted flash drives before.
[13:58] <abhi_nav> whats this?
[13:58] <abhi_nav> !flood | tomiondrums
[13:58] <histo> ori: hold up yeah there is a problem with the mount command
[13:58] <jkd4> thanks abhi_nav
[13:58] <Gorgula> my wine's sound doesn't work...how can i fix this?
[13:58] <abhi_nav> jkd4: welcome :D
[13:59] <ori> histo, ok
[13:59] <ubuntu> ziobak112
[13:59] <abhi_nav> Gorgula: #winehq
[13:59] <Gorgula> thanks
[13:59] <abhi_nav> Gorgula: :)
[13:59] <DarkStar1> Anyone here use tightVNC server??
[14:00] <DarkStar1> please?
[14:00] <histo> ori: did you type in those spaces or did you use <tab> to autocomplete?
[14:00] <exploreralex> abhi_nav: i tried to copy the .iso image file from a disk to create a live usb using the creator. but the usb wasn't working when i tried to install. do i need to first write the image to a cd
[14:00] <histo> DarkStar1: I have
[14:00] <ori> histo: i did it...
[14:00] <Gorgula> abhi_nav: there is no1 in there
[14:00] <abhi_nav> exploreralex: no. just have a iso image and follow standard procedure with unetbootin
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> DarkStar1:  lots of people use it.
[14:00] <histo> ori: yeah use <tab> to autocomplete path to the iso because the spaces are whats screwing you up
[14:01] <DarkStar1> histo: Did you have the keyboard mapping problem?
[14:01] <ori> histo: thanx for everything
[14:01] <recon69_lap> tomiondrums: have you tried using system->preferances->display, do you get the nvida driver you installed or the default unbuntu one.
[14:01] <abhi_nav> Gorgula: there are 162 people
[14:01] <histo> ori: or you could cd /home/ori/Desktop/Counter<tab>
[14:01] <exploreralex> abhi_nav: ok. will try now. thanks.:)
[14:01] <Dr_Willis> exploreralex:  you use special tools to make a bootable usb from an ISO file.
[14:01] <Gorgula> weird
[14:01] <abhi_nav> exploreralex: :D
[14:01] <Gorgula> i will try again
[14:01] <DarkStar1> histo:  Because my client keyboard map to the server is banjaxxed
[14:01] <abhi_nav> Gorgula: /join #winehq
[14:01] <histo> ori: that will put you int he folder then you can juts sudo mount -o loop CS-CZ-CD2.iso /media/counterstrike
[14:01] <exploreralex> Dr_Willis: such as?
[14:01] <tomiondrums> recon69_lap: oh, i guess i have to mention i'm using Kubuntu
[14:01] <Gorgula> funny
[14:01] <Gorgula> thanks
[14:01] <histo> DarkStar1: really i've never had issues with that.
[14:02] <ori> histo: thanx is there something like power iso that changes the amount of cd drives?
[14:02] <histo> ori: use tab for autocompletetion.
[14:02] <tomiondrums> recon69_lap: i'm pretty sure i have the original nvidia one
[14:02] <meganerd> tomiondrums: join #kubuntu
[14:02] <histo> ori: you can mount as many iso's as you want just mkdir's for each of them.
[14:02] <arch0njw> meganerd: shouldn't matter.  this is a driver problem, not a ui problem.
[14:02] <DarkStar1> histo my keyboard map gets screwed. so for instance if I hit the "t" key "n" shows up on the server
[14:03] <abhi_nav> !unetbootin | exploreralex
[14:03] <exploreralex> Dr_Willis: what special tools are you talking about??
[14:03] <histo> ori: but like I was trying to say earlier if you are just trying to install counter strike you can use steam and your steam account.
[14:03] <DarkStar1> but I have no problem logging in with a password
[14:03] <arch0njw> tomiondrums: kubuntu/ubuntu -- you're having a driver problem.  You can check over in kubuntu, but a lot of people here can help with a driver problem too.
[14:03] <histo> DarkStar1: hrm... Not sure on that one. I'd ask in #tightvnc if there is one.
[14:03] <Jimi_Neutral> ok does anyone know how to give access to one folder to one user and not let him go anyewhere else using ftp
[14:03] <histo> DarkStar1: lemme try and find chanel
[14:03] <wers> on openoffice presentation, how do I create an animation that makes bullets appear one by one?
[14:03] <Gorgula> it seems like there is no1 in there
[14:03] <recon69_lap> tomiondrums: well, I'm not going to be much help anyway, luckly my HDTV is detected fine, I just need to get the display app to run in sudo mode so i can get it to update x-conf
[14:03] <jetienne> q. how can i install a given version of a package ? as opposed to the lastest version with "sudo apt-get install mysuperpacakge"
[14:04] <DarkStar1> histo: Thanks
[14:04] <histo> DarkStar1: no they don't have a channel on here.
[14:04] <ori> histo: alright. thanx alot!
[14:04] <arch0njw> jetienne: down load it and run 'dpkg -i {pacakge-name}'
[14:04] <DarkStar1> I'm just thinking to uninstall the server and stick with vino
[14:04] <Jimi_Neutral> ok does anyone here use ftp server on an ubuntu box
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_neutral: proftpd let's you restrict users to their home. Just set the home dir for a new user and use that to ftp
[14:04] <jetienne> arch0njw: no other possibility ?
[14:04] <arch0njw> jetienne: not with apt-get/aptitute, or the UIs.
[14:05] <recon69_lap> jetienne: other packages normally have the version added to the name "sudo apt-get install mysuperpacakge-version"
[14:05] <histo> DarkStar1: http://www.tightvnc.com/freesupport.html
[14:05] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_neutral: i'd advise using ssh for secure ftp instead of ftp which is very weak in security
[14:05] <GreenT> X
[14:05] <jetienne> recon69_lap: oh i like this one
[14:05] <recon69_lap> jetienne: i'm no expert though
[14:05] <tomiondrums> arch0njw: i suppose my message will sink in this flood of communication before someone reads it who really could help me... :-(
[14:05] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: have you considered running the ftp service in a chroot jail?
[14:06] <jetienne> arch0njw: recon69_lapt: thanks
[14:06] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip, ok that right there what you just said went right over my head...i am totally new to it and need a tutuorial or major help....the thing is tho the folder that he needs access to is mbuk which is here.....var/www/mbuk.....now i have seen windows guis that allow access to that folder without fiving access to the www folder but can you do that with linux?
[14:06] <arch0njw> tomiondrums: re-ask ... don't mention the distro ;)  You don't have an Ubuntu-flavor-specific quetion (IMO)
[14:06] <Jimi_Neutral> sipior, sorry i have no idea what u mean
[14:06] <abhi_nav> tomiondrums: ask you question in one line with details and for multi lines use pastebin or imagebin for images. feel free to ask ubuntu questions
[14:06] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: yes in the config for the ftp you can specify which folder they have access to.
[14:06] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot
[14:06] <exploreralex> abhi_nav:it doesnt mention anything about the server edition. i read on a forum that usb booting can not be done for server edition.
[14:07] <histo> DarkStar1: I can't find a irc channel for them.
[14:07] <histo> DarkStar1: maybe the forums. or try a different vnc server for the time being.
[14:07] <Jimi_Neutral> sipior, unfortunatly i dont have time to read that, i just need to gett his set up before my boss eats my head
[14:07] <abhi_nav> exploreralex: ahh, does trying takes money? no? then just try? its matter of 5-10 mins? pleaes try first
[14:07] <dabukalam> I'm getting an error when installing mysql-server-5.0: "subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 1" anyone know what that is?
[14:07] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: what ftp daemon are you running right now?
[14:07] <sipior> Jimi_Neutral: "never time to do it right, always time to do it over..." :-)
[14:07] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, would you be able to help me set up from scratch
[14:08] <DarkStar1> histo: I think I'll just uninstall it and stick with vino. The ubuntu standard
[14:08] <exploreralex> abhi_nav:have tried so said so. i'll try again. thanks again.:)
[14:08] <jakiw> arch0njw, how do i burn the iso to the usb-stick now?
[14:08] <abhi_nav> exploreralex: you tried? and it is not working?
[14:08] <Jimi_Neutral> sipior, tell me about it, i have a boss that expects miricales tho and i dont even know linux, i have an mcp and im ccna certified but he wants all this stuff done in linux
[14:08] <a_6> I'm getting "Failed to retrieve share list from server" error when trying to access my lan group is there someone available to help?
[14:08] <histo> DarkStar1: well tightvnc server is different it doesn't share the desktop it creaets a new one from what I remembered
[14:08] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, i have no idea what u mean
[14:08] <recon69_lap> dabukalam: just means a script failed, look at the console output to see if it gives an error message before the script exits
[14:08] <Snicksie> how can i call a notification from libnotify via cli? i want to make a notification on command.
[14:08] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: have you done anything like installing ftp?
[14:08] <abhi_nav> !unetbootin | jakiw
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_neutral: make a new user and set its home folder to the folder you want. You may find the config files go in the folder too. You can also have a home folder as normal with a link to the folder. The user will need appropriate access the the folder.
[14:09] <Kalisto> is there an issue with automount since the last kernel update? its not automounting my usb stick anymore?
[14:09] <DarkStar1> yeah that's why I want it but I'm using this machine as a server
[14:09] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, only clients and for the last two days trying to get this server running
[14:09] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: like proftp etc...
[14:09] <histo> !ftpd | Jimi_Neutral
[14:09] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: pick one
[14:09] <jakiw> abhi_nav does it also work for other os's?
[14:09] <meganerd> jakiw: you can't just "burn" a cd to a usb drive and expect it to work
[14:09] <dabukalam> recon69_lap: no it doesn't continue with the installation
[14:09] <exploreralex> abhi_nav: yes i did. it showed that the process completed successfully. then when i tried to boot a PC with the usb it said no boot-able files found. reboot or insert disk.
[14:09] <abhi_nav> jakiw: yah all linux darivatives
[14:09] <DarkStar1> histo: so I'm not bothered about creating a new one. Also with tight vnc I have 0 admin privileges
[14:09] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_Neutral: what you want is very specific so there will be no one guide. You will need a few guides to setup the components
[14:09] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, one with a grpahical front end would be nice, but one that actually works cause gadmin-proftpd dont
[14:09] <abhi_nav> jakiw: yah all os
[14:10] <avatorking> hi
[14:10] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: k let me check somehting
[14:10] <avatorking> !list
[14:10] <DarkStar1> histo: so I guess vino is ok for the task
[14:10] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip, thats what i feared, unfortunatley i have no idea and hardly any time to get this done
[14:10] <recon69_lap> anyone tell me how to start system-pref-display in sudo mode so it can update x-config file?
[14:10] <rocket16> OpenOffice is better than MSOffice, but is there any counterpart for OneNote?
[14:10] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip, you have no idea what this guy is like
[14:10] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: gproftpd
[14:10] <abhi_nav> exploreralex: if server edition cant be use on usb then you cant, but if you officialy can, then you are not doing well procedures
[14:10] <avatorking> !list
[14:10] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, gproftpd is gadmin-proftpd and it does not work
[14:11] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: whats wrong with gadmin-proftpd ?
[14:11] <solow> I installed ubuntu, and it doesn't display my bg
[14:11] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, the activate button does not activate it for a start
[14:11] <solow> its just black
[14:11] <abhi_nav> you bg? what is bg?
[14:11] <solow> BackGround
[14:11] <recon69_lap> dabukalam: how are you running the install, it's hit an error, there should be some clues as to what failed printed out to the console. how are you running the install?
[14:11] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: did it ask you for a sudo password?
[14:11] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, no
[14:11] <solow> When I try to set an image, it stays black
[14:11] <avatorking> how can I join the site with !list?
[14:12] <exploreralex> abhi_nav: hmm. that's the thing. its not mentioned even in the LTSP documentation. well lets see.
[14:12] <solow> when i try to change to color, it stays black.
[14:12] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: let me install it and take a look
[14:12] <meganerd> Jimi_Neutral: are you supposed to set up an FTP share or something more like windows file sharing
[14:12] <rocket16> Any nice OneNote-like notebook for Ubuntu? (Not like KJots, Rednotebook, Tomboy or GJots)
[14:12] <Jimi_Neutral> meganerd, he wants an ftp server set up and some users added and one of them is only alllowed access to one folder within a folder
[14:12] <avatorking> !list
[14:13] <Jimi_Neutral> meganerd, because the windows one is nice and easy and you create your own tree with it he thinks its nice and easy in linux too
[14:13] <Snicksie> anybody knows why this -> http://ctrl-c.us/blog/archives/tag/libnotify <- doesn't work? it should work for ubuntu as said, but i don't have the required package
[14:13] <avatorking> !list
[14:13] <DJones> avatorking: How do you mean join the site with !list?
[14:13] <dabukalam> recon69_lap: http://paste.ubuntu.com/401178/
[14:13] <solow> anyone?
[14:13] <meganerd> Jimi_Neutral: I use both at work, and I much prefer using Linux when I have a choice, especially for these tasks.
[14:13] <abhi_nav> exploreralex: wiat a min
[14:13] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: I see what you mean
[14:13] <exploreralex> abhi_nav: yes.
[14:14] <avatorking> !list
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_neutral: it is if you know how ;)
[14:14] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, its jst my luck
[14:14] <avatorking> !list
[14:14] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip,  lol
[14:14] <meganerd> Jimi_Neutral: it is easy but you have to be familiar with the environment.  Windows is not easy if you have not been exposed to it before
[14:14] <theadmin> What happens when an application gets a segmentation fault, apart from receiving the (SIG)SEGV signal
[14:14] <theadmin> ?
[14:14] <avatorking> !list
[14:14] <Jimi_Neutral> i was using vsftpd but i couldnt get the one user added with access only to that one folder so he told me to uninstall and use a gui one, he doesnt like being argued with
[14:14] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_neutral: install a few servers, see which you prefer or is easiest to configure
[14:14] <DJones> avatorking: How do you mean join the site with !list?
[14:15] <avatorking> list
[14:15] <avatorking> !list
[14:15] <arch0njw> avatorking: please stop
[14:15] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: do you get the failed cert thing?
[14:15] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip, i have and none of them cause i dotn know linux
[14:15] <abhi_nav> exploreralex: see if this helps https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuServerFlashDriveInstaller
[14:15] <avatorking> !list
[14:15] <dabukalam> arch0njw: bot?
[14:15] <DJones> avatorking: Please stop doing !list.  This is not a file sharing channel (or network); be sure to read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot »
[14:15] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, among other things...i followed a tut and it all worked but the server would not activate when i clicked activate...it didnt even start when i did it with command line
[14:16] <rmoore> hello all!
[14:16] <exploreralex> abhi_nav: i've started the process of creating another usb startup disk. let's see where that leads me. i'll still go through the link.
[14:16] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip, when i say i dont know, i mean i really dont know....i have no idea how to configure even basic access tbh
[14:16] <rocket16> Hello reoore
[14:16] <rocket16> Hello rmoore
[14:16] <ActionParsnip> jimi_neutral: I've used proftp in the past and its defaulted to home, I think if you look in /etc/proftpd.conf (I think its that file) there's a line to set the directory to home
[14:16] <dabukalam> !hi | rmoore
[14:16] <recon69_lap> recon69_lap: is there a reason you are downgrading your install from 5.1 to 5.0. ?
[14:16] <arch0njw> dabukalam: no clue... but seems to have ceased.
[14:16] <rmoore> are there any code junkies in here?
[14:16] <rocket16> Ah! I got it! Basket is a nice solution for OneNote!
[14:16] <dabukalam> arch0njw: thank god :)
[14:16] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip, and not being arsey, i knwo it sounds like it but im not, how does that help me?
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_neutral: only one way to find out, get a server in and get configging and learning
[14:17] <kernel> haloo
[14:17] <abhi_nav> exploreralex: stop that and see that link first. link may have important info. and do remember to do google always first
[14:17] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: well the server is probably running
[14:17] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip, i dont have time with all th other shit i have to do
[14:17] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: netstat -ta in a terminal will show you.
[14:17] <dabukalam> recon69_lap: I'm not, 5.1 isn't installed. phpmyadmin wants me to have 5.0, it doesn't work with 5.1
[14:17] <exploreralex> abhi_nav: okay. doing that.
[14:17] <solow> so... black background, no help, me sad, crying and all... :(
[14:17] <abhi_nav> exploreralex:  :)
[14:17] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_neutral: but you have time to idle in irc till someone spoonfeeds you commands?
[14:17] <rmoore> i have a simple ????
[14:17] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, yeah looks liek it is
[14:17] <rocket16> Hello abhi_nav
[14:17] <dabukalam> !patience | solow
[14:17] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip, it is not spoon feed, i just want a tut
[14:18] <abhi_nav> rocket16: hellow!!!!!
[14:18] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip, you never followed a tut in your time working with linux?
[14:18] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: and it took my settings in the GUI even though it errored I'm just trying to connect now.
[14:18] <rocket16> abhi_nav: :)
[14:18] <solow> dabukalam, the time it took to type that could have been used to answer my question :P
[14:18] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, how are you connaecting....did you make up user and pass?
[14:19] <rocket16> So, friends, a nice thing here, in my locality, today we switched 5 PC users to Ubuntu
[14:19] <Gnea> Jimi_Neutral: what do you need a tutorial for? just using proftpd?
[14:19] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: yeah and added a directory
[14:19] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_neutral: yes but I found them online. I found this one which looks pretty good http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/pureftp.htm
[14:19] <Jimi_Neutral> Gnea, installing, configuring
[14:19] <dabukalam> solow: please don't be obnoxious. I didn't type that, a bot typed that, and who told you I have the answer to your question?
[14:19] <najsowy> join #nonsensopedia
[14:19] <BinariDragon> test
[14:19] <anonymoushash> setting up a raid file server with 1gig of ram.  Would I be better off setting up a swap?  or should 1 gig be more than enough for file server duties.  This is running Ebox.  So all the xwindows stuff won't be running.  Thanks.
[14:19] <psychoschlumpf> moin, can someone tell me how i can mount a nfs share and tell mount to map the gid/uids to local users?
[14:20] <histo> ActionParsnip: he's looking for one wiht a GUI admin panel or something
[14:20] <rmoore> im having a problem making a script that will  "sudo cp filename.conf /etc"
[14:20] <recon69_lap> dabukalam: so what command are you using to install mysql 5.0?
[14:20] <dabukalam> anonymoushash: how many users is the server serving?
[14:20] <Gnea> Jimi_Neutral: okay, so what's stopping you from searching ubuntuforums.org for certain keywords such as "proftpd setup tutorial"?
[14:20] <rocket16> Hey friends, is Gnotes same to Tomboy?
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> Histo: gui for ftp is silly
[14:20] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: yeah i'm going to try another one.
[14:20] <Jimi_Neutral> Gnea, i have spent the last two days doing that but the gui does not work
[14:20] <dabukalam> recon69_lap: like in the pastebin, apt-get install mysql-server-5.0
[14:20] <histo> ActionParsnip: gui for configuration is what he is looking for.
[14:20] <BinariDragon> rmoore: you have to tell what will be the file name
[14:20] <meganerd> Jimi_Neutral: http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=ubuntu+proftp+setup
[14:20] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_neutral: there are nice command examples there you can use
[14:21] <anonymoushash> dabuk: about 5 max
[14:21] <rmoore> yes i did ... resolv.conf
[14:21] <solow> dabukalam, Don't be so rude.  God lighten up a bit would yah.
[14:21] <ActionParsnip> Histo: I see, never seen one. Man pages and online guides are brilliant
[14:21] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: sudo apt-get install pure-admin
[14:21] <dabukalam> anonymoushash: 1GB should be more than enough
[14:21] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: remove the gadmin-proftpd stuff
[14:21] <recon69_lap> dabukalam: think you might need sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.0
[14:21] <meganerd> Jimi_Neutral: your largest challenge will be permissions, since you are not familiar with the platform.  You may wish to google for "linux file permissions"
[14:21] <Gnea> Jimi_Neutral: uhm, why do you need to use a gui?
[14:21] <arch0njw> !language | solow\
[14:21] <arch0njw> !language | solow
[14:21] <BinariDragon> rmoore: and what error it gives you?
[14:22] <Jimi_Neutral> Gnea, why do most epople who just started linux use GUI?
[14:22] <anonymoushash> dabuK:  thats what I was thinking..  just wanted to get another opinion.  thanks again.
[14:22] <meganerd> Gnea: windows guy, GUIs are required for some reason
[14:22] <Jimi_Neutral> Gnea, apart from that i was told to
[14:22] <solow> arch0njw, What is it with you people? he's calling me obnoxious, and I'm the one being rude?
[14:22] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, ok doing that now
[14:22] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, couldnt find package
[14:22] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_neutral: once you realise how simple an ftp server is and the config file (just one humanly readable file) is equally simple you can config away happily
[14:22] <arch0njw> solow: "obnoxious" isn't foul language.  I haven't been following the conversation, but did notice the inappropriate language you used.
[14:23] <solow> !language | dabukalam
[14:23] <dabukalam> solow: on the contrary, you are being rude. I was just asking you to stop repeating your question as in IRC that makes people less likely to answer you. We're all here to help each other, if i had the answer to your question i would answer you
[14:23] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: couldn't find what package?
[14:23] <Gnea> Jimi_Neutral: ah, well I didn't know that.  I used to set it up by editting the proftpd.conf file itself. found that I was able to get results faster that way. but let's see here...
[14:23] <rmoore> the command works but only when entered manually from term as root.. wont run from script. i know its a protected file as it resets afgter reboot
[14:23] <BinariDragon> ubottu: test
[14:23] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, sudo apt-get install pure-admin
[14:24] <BinariDragon> rmoore: oo so the real question is how 2 use sudo in a shell script
[14:24] <Gnea> Jimi_Neutral: have you read this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588&
[14:24] <rmoore> ok
[14:24] <jakiw> abhi_nav, hi, selecting the windows iso works just fine, but then I hangs up at a random percent (First time 46, then 16, now 6)
[14:24] <Jimi_Neutral> Gnea, yes
[14:24] <solow> dabukalam, i was not being rude. I was repeating the question because it was moving away, and not in my screen anymore. And calling me obnoxious is insulting me, because I was just joking, and you took it way to serious.
[14:24] <iceroot> BinariDragon: is it a good idea to call the script as root?
[14:24] <jakiw> abhi_nav, maybe first time 47, dunno
[14:24] <iceroot> BinariDragon: instead of using sudo inside
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> Binaridragon: just use it as normal, write sudo in the script. Then launch the script with sudo and it will be fne
[14:24] <abhi_nav> jakiw: hmmm. it is called as WindowsCrazyThings(TM) read that tm in caps and too loudly
[14:25] <rmoore> sugestions??  im a newbie
[14:25] <Gnea> Jimi_Neutral: some of that is pretty old, but much of it, like the config file editting, is unchanged in years
[14:25] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[14:25] <recon69_lap> solow: it's recommended that you wait 5 min before reposting you question, not when it moves off the screen :)
[14:25] <abhi_nav> jakiw: dont know much about it then
[14:25] <Jimi_Neutral> Gnea, he doesnt need access to a home folder he needs access to mbuk and only mbuk which is inside www
[14:25] <solow> recon69_lap, good. thanks for a normal answer. :)
[14:25] <BinariDragon> rmoore: change the permissiong with chown on the the script
[14:25] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, karmic
[14:25] <jakiw> abhi_nav, so u cant help?
[14:25] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: yeah you can create a user and just lock him in /var/www/mbuk
[14:25] <rmoore> 9.04 i think
[14:25] <Dr_Willis> rmoore:  if you run a script from rc.local  it will also get ran as root. (or commands from rc.local)
[14:25] <Gnea> Jimi_Neutral: I don't know what mbuk is. I can only guess that it's a subdir
[14:25] <peleg> One of my email folders was just deleted from Evolution, suddenly! It also does not appear in the webmail client any more. I am afraid Evolution somehow deleted it... Any ideas where should I look for it?
[14:25] <histo> !info pure-admin | Jimi_Neutral
[14:25] <dabukalam> solow: if you want to continue this please do it in a PM, as this channel is not designed for arguments
[14:25] <Jimi_Neutral> Gnea, sorry yea it is
[14:26] <abhi_nav> jakiw: since it is hanging you said, I cant help. Its out of my understanding
[14:26] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, but you just told me to install it lol
[14:26] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_neutral: make a new user with a symlink to the folder it needs access to amongst its own data
[14:26] <vHanda> Hi. I have this blueman repository, and it shows up in the synaptic->repositories, but it isn't there is the /etc/apt/sources.list. Would anyone know why?
[14:26] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: sry sudo apt-get instal pureadmin
[14:26] <solow> dabukalam, I stopped already. just made my point is all.
[14:26] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: dash was a typo
[14:26] <jakiw> abhi_nav, ok, thx
[14:26] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, ah ok
[14:26] <Dr_Willis> vHanda:  because its in /etc/apt/sources.list.d  perhaps?
[14:26] <peleg> I am using imap connection
[14:26] <Gnea> Jimi_Neutral: no problem. but yeah, just like histo said, just set it up like any old user account. there's even a configuration directive that you can use to chroot jail it.
[14:26] <BinariDragon> i hate wen people ask for help and after they get what they want just leave without even saying thank you
[14:26] <vHanda> Dr_Willis: Oh. There is another folder. I'll check in that. Thanks.
[14:26] <abhi_nav> jakiw: welcome :D
[14:27] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, ok installed
[14:27] <Dr_Willis> vHanda:  its considered bad practice to add stuff to sources.list  these days.. use seperate files in soures.list.d
[14:27] <BinariDragon> dont cost much to say thanks
[14:27] <BinariDragon> maybe 2 seconds
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> Binaridragon: +1,000,000
[14:27] <theadmin> BinariDragon: Most people think everyone here is supposed to help them :/
[14:27] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: now just run pureadmin and configure
[14:27] <dabukalam> BinariDragon: +2
[14:27] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, how
[14:27] <nibbler> http://nopaste.info/b0f3caa97f.html - my ubuntu  thinks its 1.may 2194 (this would be the year) and ntpdate cannot convice him that he is wrong? whats going on here? i tried several ntp servers
[14:27] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, to run#
[14:27] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: its under applications > system tools > pureadmin
[14:27] <theadmin> BinariDragon: /s/most/some
[14:27] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, ok
[14:27] <vHanda> Dr_Willis: Yup. It's there. Thanks. Learnt something new :-)
[14:27] <BinariDragon> theadmin:
[14:27] <BinariDragon> theadmin: lol
[14:27] <Gnea> BinariDragon: that's weird, 99% of the people I help tend to thank me
[14:27] <nibbler> and i cant access gmail as the server certificate ahs expired 184 years ago :(
[14:28] <jakiw> abhi_nav can I somehow burn the image on another partition (i have like 5 :P) and then use that partition to install windows on another partition?
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: the 1% need teaching
[14:28] <dabukalam> nibbler: is this ubuntu 94.04 lonely human?
[14:28] <Gnea> BinariDragon: even if the problem wasn't actually solved
[14:28] <nibbler> dabukalam, nope, 9.10, little bit outdated for this year ;-) - and you missed a "1"
[14:28] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: can't help everyone, only those that truly want it.
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Jakiw: you can use partimage to backup a partition to a compressed file
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Gnea: aye
[14:29] <dabukalam> nibbler: i noticed, :D
[14:29] <abhi_nav> jakiw: yah you can
[14:29] <dabukalam> nibbler: do you have a windows partition?
[14:29] <nibbler> dabukalam, yep that aswell
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> Jakiw: you can burn It to a dvd etc if it gives enough space
[14:29] <jakiw> ActionParsnip, My Optical drive doesnt work
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> Jakiw: if you then delete the partition then it can be used by another OS
[14:30] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, ok i have added a new user....how do i lock him so he can only access a certain folder
[14:30] <jakiw> abhi_nav, how, is there a tutorial or a prog?
[14:30] <dabukalam> recon69_lap: yeah, that's what i meant, sudo apt-get
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> Jakiw: or usb stick then or network file store
[14:30] <solow> 5 minutes are up. how can i change resolution settings in ubuntu? my monitor says its not supported when booting, and my background of my desktop stays black.
[14:30] <Gnea> BinariDragon: maybe people don't want a solution that they haven't agreed upon. I see that a lot.
[14:30] <abhi_nav> jakiw: dont know...............
[14:30] <abhi_nav> jakiw: do googling
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> Jackiw: some storage anyway
[14:30] <jakiw> ActionParsnip Ye, but how do i do it?
[14:30] <BinariDragon> solow: what video card do you have
[14:31] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: click edit user
[14:31] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, yup
[14:31] <meganerd> jakiw: it depends on the OS that you are trying to install
[14:31] <theadmin> Bleh, why "find ~ -name somefile 2>/dev/null" works faster then Nautilus search?
[14:31] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: settigns are on the right specify the folder for him
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> Jakiw: boot to livecd so the partition isn't mounted and use partimage. You will need a destination partition mounted to receive the image
[14:31] <peleg> Help? A whole folder of emails, with all of its contents, was deleted just now from my email account... I think I should blame evolution. I am using IMAP. Any help?
[14:31] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: you probably also want to give that user rights to that folder on the system.
[14:31] <solow> BinariDragon, I have no idea. but the backgroun should at least work.
[14:31] <recon69_lap> dabukalam: well, I'm out of ideas, have you tried the synaptic packet manager. cant think of anything else
[14:31] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, aye can see them but how do i make sure he can oly browse there and no where else
[14:31] <Gnea> theadmin: gnome :)
[14:31] <jakiw> meganerd, ActionParsnip, I want to install Windows on a partition, but I only have a Disc and my Optical Drive is broken
[14:31] <mari> ablad en español coño
[14:31] <nibbler> hehe, setting my time to the right century, ntpdate actually fixed the rest....
[14:31] <theadmin> Gnea: hm?
[14:32] <avatorking> !list
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> Peleg: restore from your backups
[14:32] <mari> k
[14:32] <theadmin> ubottu: ops | avatorking abuses the bot!
[14:32] <Roasted> ubuntu is telling me I have 20% signal, when there's an AP right above my head. When I plug in a USB wireless adapter, I get 100% signal. wha thte?
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> Jakiw: windows installs are offtopic here
[14:32] <meganerd> jakiw: I have never succeeded with this
[14:32] <avatorking> !list
[14:32] <avatorking> !list
[14:32] <kcantin> Hello all
[14:32] <mari> hello
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> Roasted: does the chip need firmware?
[14:32] <abhi_nav> avatorking: ubottu is clever than you  :P
[14:32] <Gnea> theadmin: even the most basic gnome-based app uses more libraries than it really needs to. so when you want to do a simple search, it has to access all of these system resources in order to accomplish it. on the commandline, it's just simple.
[14:33] <peleg> ActionParsnip, what backups? The messages are not stored on my computer, but in my host's servers, and I am using imap. It is deleted from the server, I'm afraid. Does evolution keeps backups anyway on my own machine?
[14:33] <theadmin> Gnea: Oh, i see...
[14:33] <meganerd> jakiw: the windows installer kind of assumes that you are installing from an optical drive.  I did install Windows 7 with a USB based DVD drive, but that is way OT here
[14:33] <Roasted> ActionParsnip, It's a broadcom. It works fine otherwise. I can go home and get 100% signal and whatever else. It's just weird that my internal card at my desk at work is ALWAYS 20% when Im in range of an AP for 100%. Yet a USB adapter picks it up fine...
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> Peleg: if the data is important you will have a regular backup to an external storage incase of disaster
[14:33] <jakiw> meganerd, ActionParsnip, ok, thx for trying to help
[14:34] <Gnea> theadmin: it's akin to the bloat that we see on windows-based systems, only applied differently.
[14:34] <meganerd> jakiw: if this is for school and not games, virtualbox might be the answer
[14:34] <theadmin> How do i get smth like "Start terminal here" to right-click menu?
[14:34] <louhusson> Hi, I cannot log into my gnome session anymore, only failsafe works. I am using 9.04. /var/log/syslog gives me this : kernel:  ... mtrr: no MTRR for e0000000, 100000 found. I tried with kernels 2.6.31-20 and 2.6.31-19
[14:34] <iceroot> is there a way to set all init.scripts from /etc/rc0.d/ to debug-modus? i dont want to write set -x so every file and i cant find a way to say bash, it should always use set -x
[14:34] <Kathlyn> Hello.
[14:34] <Kathlyn> :)
[14:34] <theadmin> Gnea: bleh, don't remind me of windows plzzz
[14:34] <peleg> ActionParsnip, well, the "external storage" is exactly the remote server! That's why I am using imap, and not pop3 that leaves everything on my risky HD...
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> Jakiw: the image system is supported here. I use it to backup fresh installs of new releases as restoring the image is fater than the system can be installed
[14:34] <abhi_nav> jakiw: i use windows in virtualbox. for college purpose
[14:34] <Gnea> theadmin: sorry :)
[14:34] <arch0njw> !hi | Kathlyn
[14:34] <jakiw> meganerd and how do i install on Virtualbox without a disc?
[14:35] <Kathlyn> hell
[14:35] <meganerd> jakiw: you can use an ISO
[14:35] <Kathlyn> o
[14:35] <iceroot> jakiw: with isos
[14:35] <abhi_nav> jakiw: you just only need iso to install on virtualbox
[14:35] <kcantin> Apparently my 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 (CGC) Chipset Graphics Controller video card is installed and configured correctly but, I still have an issue because for some reason I cannot choose a resolution higher than 800 X 600 even though I know I should be able to.
[14:35] <dabukalam> nibbler: try typing in terminal: date<PHONE_NUMBER>10
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> Peleg: if the mails are still on the server then just configure a new profile and the server will be reread
[14:35] <meganerd> jakiw: virtualbox and VMWare can use ISOs and present them to the virtualized environment as emulated optical drives
[14:35] <kcantin> Can anyone here possibly help me out?
[14:35] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, you are an angel mate, i owe you a beer...it connects, it recognises the username but it wont accept the password
[14:35] <rmoore> ok im back yall...
[14:36] <jakiw> meganerd ok, ill try
[14:36] <nibbler> dabukalam: setting my time to the right century, ntpdate actually fixed the rest....
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> Kcantin: you may need an xorg.conf to get a decent res
[14:36] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: let me check something
[14:36] <theadmin> hm. I hope when time changes from non-DST to DST i don't have to do a fsck?
[14:36] <dabukalam> nibbler: great
[14:36] <eremite> kcantin:  http://chvnx.com/post/280205781/change-screen-resolution-in-linux-ubuntu  follow these instructions and change it according to your desired resolution.  Replace VGA1 with VGA.
[14:37] <kcantin> Hello ActionParnsnip, do you think that would be the answer?
[14:37] <abhi_nav> theadmin: what is dst and non-dst?
[14:37] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, i can see it popping up in the window pane on the right and then shooting off again
[14:37] <peleg> ActionParsnip, I am thankful for your help, but I am afraid you're not reading my messages well; the folder is completely vanished, even when I try to access it using a webmail client. I think that somehow evolution deleted it completely from here and from the server, although it is configured not to really delete anything until I "purge" it (but maybe this does not apply to complete folders)
[14:37] <dmdevotee> hey sup, i'm using 9.10. anybody tried to add a shortcut for jdownloader?
[14:37] <WhiteDawn> abhi_nav: daylight savings time
[14:37] <theadmin> abhi_nav: Daylight saving time, you know liek time shifts 1 hour back at winter... and back at summer
[14:37] <kcantin> hello eremite, I think I remember you from before.
[14:37] <Chad__> i would like to stream audio and video what would be the best way of going about this ?
[14:37] <abhi_nav> WhiteDawn: ohhh thankyou
[14:37] <ActionParsnip> Kcantin: eremite may have the key. If you do need an xorg.conf you will need to find one online as jkarmic and later do not have one
[14:37] <m_anish> Hi I am trying to learn basic opengl on my amd64 ubuntu karmic install with intel x3100 graphics chipset on a dell inspiron 1420 laptop... When I compile and run the application, the rendered display doesn't get synced to vblanks of my LCD, however the packaged glxgears application that came with my distro has its rendered framed synced with vblanks... am I missing something in my programming
[14:37] <abhi_nav> theadmin: hmm ok
[14:37] <eremite> kcantin: YOU OBVIOUSLY DIDNT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE SECOND HALF OF THAT POST THEN
[14:38] <dabukalam> I'm getting an error while trying to install mysql-server-5.0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/401178/

[14:38] <dabukalam> !shout eremite
[14:38] <louhusson> Would anyone know how to enable networking in Failsafe mode? I cannot access the internet (there's no network manager)
[14:38] <Gnea> eremite: no need for that.
[14:38] <BinariDragon> Chad__: like a radio station or just for couple of friends
[14:38] <meganerd> Jimi_Neutral: check /var/log/daemon (use a text editor or a pager like less)
[14:38] <kcantin> Emerite, where do I change vga1 to vga?
[14:38] <eremite> Gnea: no need for what?
[14:38] <dmdevotee> anybody here uses jdownloader?
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> Peleg: yowser...hmm does you email provider provide data restore?
[14:38] <Jimi_Neutral> meganerd, what am i checking for
[14:38] <abhi_nav> theadmin:  and WhiteDawn: but it never happends with me. do i need to care about it? does it affect me?
[14:38] <theadmin> dmdevotee: I did someday...
[14:38] <meganerd> Jimi_Neutral: errors
[14:38]  * eremite /ignores peopel who have no idea what they are talking about
[14:38] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: this will explain https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureFTP
[14:38] <kcantin> Emerite, YiKes!   No, unfortunatlely not.   I have not had a chance to get back to it though.
[14:38] <rocket16> Anybody know how to get this theme? http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2360/2378666054_37557e5201.jpg
[14:38] <theadmin> abhi_nav: Guess no :/
[14:39] <meganerd> Jimi_Neutral: /var/log is like the event viewer, but better IMO
[14:39] <Chad__> binaridragon: just for couple of friends i basically just want to be able to access my content from anywhere and play it and i dont know where to begin
[14:39] <abhi_nav> theadmin: hmm
[14:39] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: I have to get going though someone else should be able to help you with the password issue. The user needs to be a member of ftpgroup
[14:39] <dmdevotee> theadmin: could you remember if you succesfully could do a shortcut?
[14:39] <WhiteDawn> louhusson: you would have to load the modules manualy, then setup your network with ifconfig
[14:39] <arch0njw> rocket16: ask the person who posed that SS?  :)
[14:39] <kcantin> Thanks a lot Fell'as!!
[14:39] <peleg> ActionParsnip, I am not sure, maybe. I will ask them, of course... do you know if evolution keeps logs? Where I can find whether it got a "deletion order" for that folder, or something similar?
[14:39] <theadmin> dmdevotee: Depends on how do you install it.
[14:39] <kcantin> NP Emerite
[14:39] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, ah ok....ty bud you are a star
[14:39] <Chad__> BinariDragon:i was told vlc but i can't seem to find concrete instructions on this
[14:39] <dmdevotee> theadmin: i installed it with the script jd.sh from their page
[14:39] <rocket16> arch0njm: Yes, but this is really tiresome. I don't know him.
[14:39] <eremite> kcantin: if you want me to guide you through the steps to fix that, send me a PM
[14:40] <louhusson> WhiteDawn: ok, I have absolutely no idea how to do that.
[14:40] <Chad__> BinariDragon: im running karmic server
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> Rocket16: its just a green metacity with green coloured gnome panel. You can get a green metacity etc from www.gnome-look.org
[14:40] <BinariDragon> Chad__: look in to vlc and mythTV
[14:40] <m_anish> code is here http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/kNbMHWqD
[14:40] <nibbler> dabukalam: actually it breaks in 1078
[14:40] <theadmin> dmdevotee: So just make a launcher for this script, that's all, just make sure it has a permission to be executed.
[14:40] <SmartSsa> dmdevotee: jdownloader is not a part of Ubuntu.  You won't get help for it here.
[14:40] <m_anish> help anyone!
[14:40] <nibbler> dabukalam: actually it breaks in 2078
[14:40] <rmoore> heres what im doing....i have a moto droid and wanted to do a usb tether to my ubuntu laptop fot internet...i got that working, but....im trying to create a script to "start the modem" without having to go to terminal every time. it only has 3 lines. 1 forward port (works)2copy over /etc/resolv.conf (not work)3start vpn(works)
[14:40] <dmdevotee> theadmin: if i execute that script with sudo, in terminal it works, but i can't make the shortcut works
[14:40] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: they need be added witht he pure-pw if they aren't a user ont he local machine basicallyu
[14:40] <abhi_nav> m_anish: what happends?
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> Peleg: try /var/log or $HOME/.evolution for logs
[14:40] <BinariDragon> Chad__: you may also look in Deluge BitTorrent, works well for remote use
[14:40] <theadmin> dmdevotee: sudo!? It shouldn't require that.
[14:40] <dabukalam> nibbler: huh?
[14:40] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, no they arent, there is only me and my boss on this box
[14:40] <WhiteDawn> louhusson: lol, well you can use lsmod to see modules currently running, then remember those and use modprobe <module name> to load them. "man ifconfig" will tell you all about how to use ifconfig to setup your network
[14:41] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, wont this change wehre they log in to tho
[14:41] <Chad__> BinariDragon: for streaming audio and video
[14:41] <eremite> ActionParsnip: Here's my Ubuntu desktop.  Green green green :)  http://chvnx.com/post/468482521/my-current-ubuntu-desktop-what-does-yours-look
[14:41] <recon69_lap> hmm, reboot time, hope i'v not fryed my x-conf
[14:41] <rocket16> ActionParsnip: Thanks :)
[14:41] <arch0njw> !ask | m_anish
[14:41] <rmoore> the resolv.conf will only over write if don manually
[14:41] <nibbler> dabukalam, ntpdate fixes my time, unless the time of my computer is beyond 2078 - for i in $(seq 10 99); do echo $i; date<PHONE_NUMBER>$i>/dev/null; ntpdate <IP_ADDRESS> > /dev/null ; date; done
[14:41] <dmdevotee> sh /media/DATOS/LINUX/GNOME/jd.sh : doesn't work
[14:41] <dabukalam> nibbler: what's the output of hwclock?
[14:41] <dmdevotee> sudo sh /media/DATOS/LINUX/GNOME/jd.sh : work
[14:41] <theadmin> dmdevotee: Anyway, you can make a launcher start stuff in terminal doing "gnome-terminal -x COMMAND"
[14:42] <ghostlines> hi all, i'm trying to understand what's an acceptable label string for amanda backup, the config file says DailySet1[0-9][0-9]*$   I don't understand what *$ means
[14:42] <BinariDragon> Chad__vlc can offer a simple way to stream butmythTV can do a better job at it
[14:42] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: no just like sudo pure-pw useradd joblow -u ftpuser -d /var/www/whatever_that_folder_was   then sudo pure-pw mkdb
[14:42] <nibbler> dabukalam, Cannot access the Hardware Clock via any known method.Use the --debug option to see the details of our search for an access method.
[14:42] <m_anish> abhi_nav, well basically when i compile n run, something is displayed in a window but its framerate is not consistent ... when i increase the size of the window the framerate decreases and vice-versa but with the glxgears applicatio the framerate is always constant
[14:42] <nibbler> dabukalam, by the way, i dont have any open issue, just trying to figure out what went wrong....
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> Eremite: not bad, mines a pretty plain green openbox theme with a dark green background
[14:42] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: nah hold up
[14:42] <abhi_nav> m_anish: its about opengl? then Please askin open gl channel.
[14:43] <dmdevotee> thadmin: i have to put only the path, or sh path?
[14:43] <louhusson> WhiteDawn: thanks. However that means I need to find a list of those running modules, and my initial problem is that I cannot log into Gnome except when in Failsafe (I'm using a mac to connect to IRC)
[14:43] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, ok
[14:43] <rmoore> did anyone get thAt??
[14:43] <arch0njw> ghostlines: that's a regular expression
[14:43] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: ignore that
[14:43] <theadmin> dmdevotee: Meh, if it's executable you don't even NEED 'sh'
[14:43] <m_anish> abhi_nav, ok thanks!
[14:43] <dabukalam> nibbler: oh, so it's fixed...
[14:43] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, lol ok
[14:43] <dmdevotee> thx, will try
[14:43] <dabukalam> nibbler: yeah it's a wierd problem
[14:43] <abhi_nav> m_anish: :)
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_neutral: see how command line and config files get advised over gui ways...
[14:43] <arch0njw> ghostlines: "$" means "the end of the line"
[14:43] <meganerd> dmdevotee: using sh on ubuntu uses /bin/dash as an interpreter.  You probably do not want this
[14:44] <nibbler> dabukalam, yep, so thanks anyway :)
[14:44] <arch0njw> ghostlines: what they are saying is that you can have that first part, any number 0-9 repeated as many times as you want until the end of the name.
[14:44] <dabukalam> nibbler: when it changed, was the time correct? or were they both off?
[14:44] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip, yes i knwo that and i know that it is better bud, but when you got a boss like mine you panic and u just want the quickest and easiest way and the way you know
[14:44] <meganerd> dmdevotee: make the file executable or use bash instead of sh
[14:44] <axisys_> is there a way to burn a dvd with ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-server iso and allow you options to install either or ?
[14:44] <peleg> ActionParsnip, I can't find logs, but I did find that folder: /folders/INBOX/subfolders/University  --  and University is exactly the folder I lost!
[14:44] <dabukalam> nibbler: I didn't do anything!
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> Peleg: does it have stuff in?
[14:45] <shay2772> Hello , can someone recommend me on good tool for Ubuntu for resizing SWF ? ( width and height)
[14:45] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, if it helps SmartFTP is telling me the password is hidden
[14:45] <kcantin> emerite, how do I PM you?
[14:45] <arch0njw> ghostlines: so DailySet101234876123478 is valid, butDailySet1130982349082A is not (cannot have letters in the last set of characters.
[14:45] <abhi_nav> shay2772 what is swf?
[14:45] <ghostlines> arch0njw, hmmmm oh k man, thanks so DailySet1-0101 should be acceptable
[14:45] <barakuda> Hello, I received a notify about the latest Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope updates
[14:45] <peleg> ActionParsnip, I doesn't have all of the 1. 2. 3. files other folders have, but it does have subfolders in it (for some weird reason)
[14:45] <arch0njw> ghostlines: bingo
[14:45] <shay2772> abhi_nav: flash file
[14:45] <WhiteDawn> louhusson: can you get into the file system and open up /etc/modules.conf
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> Shay2772: mencoder or ffmpeg
[14:45] <barakuda> are they true or are they only malicious programs that hackers wants to put on my machine?
[14:45] <abhi_nav> shay2772 hmmm
[14:45] <nibbler> dabukalam, well, you helped and gave me the date command, i figured it out myself meanwhile but still... thanks for the effort
[14:46] <ghostlines> arch0njw, butttt, they said that's still is invalid:S
[14:46] <sobczyk> hi, why there is no partimage in 64bit karmic?
[14:46] <shay2772> ActionParsnip: how can i set the size ?
[14:46] <peleg> ActionParsnip, either way, the messages should not be saved on the computer...
[14:46] <barakuda> Is it possible that hacker puts a virus on my update manager? I'm scared to download updates :S
[14:46] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: try sudo mv /etc/pure-ftpd/auth/PureDB 50PureDB
[14:46] <dabukalam> nibbler: not at all
[14:46] <ghostlines> arch0njw, sorry my bad
[14:46] <dabukalam> nibbler: :)
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> Shay2772: you'll have to find guides or read the long man pages
[14:46] <arch0njw> ghostlines: oops.  take out the dash :)
[14:46] <meganerd> sobczyk: because it does not build for the 64bit version
[14:46] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: see if that helps with the authentication
[14:46] <eremite> sobczyk: you can use gparted, I think.  Its in the synaptic repos.
[14:46] <dabukalam> I'm getting an error while trying to install mysql-server-5.0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/401178/
[14:46] <abhi_nav> sobczyk: i am using 64 bit 9.10 too, what is partimage?
[14:46] <dabukalam> !partimage
[14:47] <meganerd> dabukalam: that is a different program that does something different
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> Peleg: yeah, maybe the folders get made to hold temp stuff
[14:47] <abhi_nav> :)
[14:47] <sobczyk> partimage is for backing up partitions especially usefull fot ntfs
[14:47] <louhusson> WhiteDawn: there is only /etc/modules and it only has two lines : lp and rtc
[14:47] <abhi_nav> sobczyk: ohhh thats why meganerd said 'different' hmm :D
[14:47] <meganerd> sobczyk: I just boot with systemrescuecd (usually the USB verson) or use something like clonezilla
[14:47] <WhiteDawn> louhusson: ok, can you do a lspci and put that in a pastebin?
[14:47] <arvind_khadri> !info partimage | dabukalam
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> Partimage is great once you get a system setup. Then you can play then just restore if things go weird
[14:48] <eremite> sobczyk: if you need a FULL system backup, /home folder AND settings, check out Remastersys.  Makes a Live CD ISO or Installable distro of yoru current machine.
[14:48] <dabukalam> arvind_khadri: huh? why didn't it work without the info?
[14:48] <dabukalam> !info ubuntu
[14:48] <dabukalam> arvind_khadri: ooooooooh it's for packagess....
[14:48] <eremite> the !info is for packages only I think
[14:48] <louhusson> WhiteDawn: well not really since it doesn't have internet. What are you looking for?
[14:48] <rmoore> any ideas yall??
[14:48] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: I'm trying to find a better guide for you with proftp may work better than pure. All the gtk admin stuff kind of sucks though it seems
[14:48] <arvind_khadri> dabukalam, as thats the way its supposed to work. info is trigger for info about packages
[14:49] <abhi_nav> !info gnome do
[14:49] <ghostlines> arch0njw, thanks alot man, many thanks!!!!
[14:49] <peleg> ActionParsnip, oh well. I'll contact my host...
[14:49] <abhi_nav> :(
[14:49] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, gets as far as auth and then there is no such file or dir
[14:49] <dabukalam> !info mysql-server-5.0
[14:49] <arch0njw> ghostlines: sure thing :)
[14:49] <allu2> Hello
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> Histo: +1 for sucky gtk
[14:49] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: ughh.
[14:49] <arch0njw> !hi | allu2
[14:49] <kcantin> if the resolution script does not work I know that I have an Xorg.Conf.Bak file to work from but, I have no clue what to do with it.
[14:49] <sobczyk> eremite, I need a compressed win7 backup is there anything better than partimage for that (free ofcourse)
[14:50] <amani> internet browser for ubuntu
[14:50] <dmdevotee> in launcher: gnome-terminal -x bash /media/DATOS/LINUX/GNOME/jd.sh doesn't work
[14:50] <dabukalam> !firefox | amani
[14:50] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, there is 65unix and 70pam in there
[14:50] <dmdevotee> please, is there any way to add launcher to .sh files that NEEDS sudo?
[14:50] <meganerd> sobczyk: clonezilla, though Windows 7 does not play nice (there are two partitions now, some sort of boot partition and then the data or C: drive)
[14:50] <eremite> Cany anyone tell me why Ubuntu send pings to ALL-SYSTEMS.MCAST.NET?  <--- Why does Ubuntu send ANYTHING about my computer to this website?  Spyware?
[14:50] <amani> how to run java programs in ubuntu?
[14:51] <louhusson> WhiteDawn: it seems to list all hardware components. I'm quite new to linux, is it always that complicated? I just booted 2 days ago and gnome wouldn't start, and failsafe doesn't have internet so it's not usable at all.
[14:51] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: yeah it should looka the pure db first because of hte 50
[14:51] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, i have no idea what you just said lol
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> Sobczyk: partimage is exactly what you want if you want a compressed image of a partition
[14:51] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: this is why you just use the text files to change the setting instead of the gui's
[14:51] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, why?
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> Eremite: i'd ask jeeves ;)
[14:52] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, actually dont worry about that, im never gonna remember.
[14:52] <erUSUL> !java | amani
[14:52] <louhusson> WhiteDawn: By the way lspci found the wireless card if that is what you were looking for (network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN Kedron Network Connection (rev 61))
[14:52] <sobczyk> I wondered what for is that small windows partition, now I know it's for making backing up more miserable
[14:53] <sipior> eremite: that name is an alias, and is used for multicast over a network.
[14:53] <meganerd> sobczyk: gotta love change.
[14:53] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: well they are just plain text files in /etc/ for configuration when yous tart messing with gui apps god knows what they are changing.
[14:54] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, ohhh i see
[14:54] <cdavis> Is anyone aware of a decent open source project that helps to do an impact analysis for a business continuity plan?
[14:54] <kcantin> eremite, thanks....just let me know when you might be available.
[14:55] <ActionParsnip> Cdavis: I've used openoffice calc for that
[14:55] <edakiri> erUSUL: nice Dune reference. I think that java page has false information.  "The GCJ flavor of Java is installed as default"  in Karmic, default-jre points to openjdk
[14:55] <dabukalam> I'm getting an error while trying to install mysql-server-5.0: http://paste.ubuntu.com/401178/
[14:55] <histo> Jimi_Neutral: I have to get going though anyone else should be able to help you get going.
[14:55] <allu2> i have synth plugged in gameport when i run aplaymidi -l i find MPU-401 UART witch seems to be the synth, i want to use the synth to produce piano sounds but i don't know how, i have qsynth and rosegarden i tried to get them work so i could hear what i play but when i play in rosegarden and record i just see rosegarden takes the input but i don't hear the sound form my headset, how i could hear the gameport synth in ubuntu 9.10 ?
[14:55] <erUSUL> edakiri: tk :) i will look into updating that wiki page ...
[14:56] <cdavis> ActionParsnip: point taken, however this is to help co-workers and they want something a little less thought provoking
[14:56] <Jimi_Neutral> histo, ok, ty for all your help, i can see it actually works now so i am half way there
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> Cdavis: well, what do they want? Its a cost spreadsheet
[14:58] <jophish> I'm entering a programming contest over the weekend. Much to my dismay it is being run with visual studio, and Windows. Having experienced  this abomination before I am aware that the windows terminal  has nothing on Bash. I'm wondering what is the preferred way to use Bash under Windows? Thanks.
[14:58] <cdavis> ActionParsnip: they want a web front end that asks questions about disasters, probabilities and impacts to determine what the policy needs to state.
[14:58] <kajo> My 2gig USB stick is showing it has 39 megabytes free, but it has only 1 gig of files on it. The .Trashes is empty, and I'm showing hidden files--the 1 gig of data includes the .Trashes and any other hidden folders. Ejecting, remounting, refreshing... nothing shows the proper empty space, and so I can't copy stuff larger than 30 megabytes onto it.
[14:58] <carmen> ola
[14:58] <louhusson> I'm new to Ubuntu, could someone help me diagnose an issue I have? I cannot log in to my gnome session - the screen jitters for one second and then throws me back at the login screen. However Failsafe gome works.
[14:58] <kajo> What is going on, and how can I fix it?
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> Cdavis: gotcha, then you can code an html page with some php etc and it will work fine
[14:58] <godigo> hola
[14:58] <cdavis> ActionParsnip: I could, but they have told me I have other priorities :)
[14:59] <dabukalam> kajo: is the partition 2GB?
[14:59] <kajo> Yes, it's a 2gig partition.
[14:59] <jure64> how do I change the description of a file type?
[14:59] <p1l0t> louhusson: that's an incorrect username/password response
[14:59] <dabukalam> kajo: paste the output of sudo fdisk -l
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> Jophish: powershell has a lot of functionality and runs on windows
[14:59] <kajo> dabukalam,
[14:59] <allu2> how i could listen sound from /dev/midi1 ?
[14:59] <dabukalam> kajo: oh ok
[14:59] <jophish> ActionParsnip, I will look into it. Thanks.
[14:59] <erUSUL> !midi | allu2
[14:59] <sobczyk> if anyone wondered partimage 0.6.8 compiles fine on amd64 so I have no idea why it's not in repos
[14:59] <edakiri> louhusson: sounds like Xorg can not set the video mode correctly.  look in /var/log for relevant logged errors
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> Cdavis: then shrug and say fine. Do what you are told.  I did that where I worked.   It really disappoints me that I'm running into this with Ubuntu.
[15:00] <kajo> dabukalam, http://paste.ubuntu.com/401201/
[15:01] <Keal> @now
[15:01] <allu2> erUSUL, i have seen that many times, it just tells me how i can play .mid files, not helping me to use my synth on gameport to make piano sound :(
[15:01] <MatBoy> does someone know the command that is made first to print your encryption key for your homedir ?
[15:01] <dabukalam> kajo: yeah, i would definitely format that. it looks horrible
[15:01] <jkd4> once you install dockbar how do you begin using it???
[15:01] <aalwiz> someone pls look into this.i am unable to login my ubuntu desktop.this is the message"The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed"
[15:01] <MatBoy> cannot remember it
[15:02] <erUSUL> allu2: so you want to sen midi to a external synth ?
[15:02] <dmdevotee> please, is there any way to add launcher to .sh files that NEEDS sudo?
[15:02] <erUSUL> allu2: you should ask maybe in #ubuntustudio
[15:02] <louhusson> edakiri: do you mean the xorg.0.log ?
[15:02] <MatBoy> no-one using encyption on home here ?
[15:02] <WhiteDawn> erUSUL: i think he wants to use a external synth to send midi to the computer
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> Aalwiz: sudo apt-get --reinstall install gnome-power-manager
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> Aalwiz: maybe
[15:02] <edakiri> louhusson: yes
[15:02] <Jimi_Neutral> OK, I have installed pureFTP on my ubuntu webserver box and I can log in to it fine using the log in creds for the actual box but when I add a user using the managemt GUI it sees the name but will not accept the password....any idea how I can solve this?
[15:02] <allu2> erUSUL, i just want to test my synth plugged in gameport so that when i press for example C note  i hear piano C
[15:02] <erUSUL> WhiteDawn: allu2 so is midi keyboard ?
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> Matboy: not worth the heartache so no
[15:03] <louhusson> WhiteDawn: I managed to get internet working, I just had to start nm-applet
[15:03] <WhiteDawn> louhusson: oh ok, good!
[15:03] <siropio> anyone knows what type of video i can use in openoffice?
[15:03] <WhiteDawn> louhusson: sorry about earlyer, school network is crap
[15:03] <p1l0t> I am but I installed once and forgot how to use it, lol.
[15:03] <WhiteDawn> siropio: ogg vorbis?
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> Siropio; i'd ask in #openoffice.org
[15:04] <jkd4> I just want to know how to use a dockbar once you have installed it
[15:04] <allu2> erUSUL, yes
[15:04] <Knofensa> histo are you still here?
[15:04] <louhusson> edakiri: there a lot of stuff and there is no date/time. What shoudl I look for?
[15:04] <siropio> sorry i will check there
[15:04] <pranay_09> hi , i updated my system and now i unable to close , resize or move the window
[15:04] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_neutral: try: sudo passwd usernametochange
[15:04] <jkd4> once you install dockbar how do you begin using it???
[15:05] <erUSUL> allu2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToQjackCtlConnections <<<< see here
[15:05] <allu2> when i run cat /dev/midi1 everytime i press one key i get nonsense output, so the synth works
[15:05] <dmdevotee> please, is there any way to create a launcher for .sh files that NEEDS sudo to run?
[15:05] <dabukalam> ActionParsnip: there seems to be very little you don't know. Does that apply to LAMP?
[15:05] <Knofensa> meganerd: or are you still here?
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> Jkd: press alt+f2 and type dockbar ,press enter
[15:05] <jkd4> dmdevotee: yes
[15:05] <Gnea> dmdevotee: sure
[15:05] <wad> Hi guys. My system is wanting to undate, but it's telling me that two packages cannot be authenticated: xserver-common and xserver-xorg-core. Should I be concerned about this? I've cancelled the update for now.
[15:05] <jkd4> dmdevotee: yes just put gksudo before the command
[15:06] <jkd4> i think
[15:06] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip, says user does not exist.....the username i am adding is not a user on the actual box it is only me on that box
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> Dabukalam: I know little of sound ;) for one. Its worth a try. I just websearch stuff. Some users won't websearch for some reason
[15:06] <Knofensa> maybe someone else could help me here...: i want to burn a CDrom but im currently on the a ubuntu live-cd and i cant open the tray..
[15:06] <pranay_09> everytime i have to go to appearacne->desktop effects ->normal effects
[15:06] <erUSUL> allu2: again better help in #ubuntustudio probably
[15:06] <jkd4> I could be wrong
[15:06] <pranay_09> to get it back
[15:06] <dmdevotee> what i have to type on command box if the sh file is in  /media/DATOS/LINUX/GNOME/jd.sh ?
[15:06] <jkd4> once you install dockbar how do you begin using it???
[15:06] <MatBoy> ActionParsnip: kinda stupid on a laptop ;)
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_neutral: maybe there is a pureftp command (or whatever server it is) to set the pass
[15:07] <wad> Knofensa, type "eject".
[15:07] <pranay_09> hi , i updated my system and now i unable to close , resize or move the window
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> Matboy: why, its just a small pc with a built in screen...
[15:07] <jkd4> dmdevotee: gksudo /media/DATOS/LINUX/GNOME/jd.sh
[15:07] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip, yeah it is pure....trying to find something but tbh its all gobbledygook to me still
[15:07] <jkd4> please anyone correct me if I'm wrong
[15:07] <louhusson> edakiri: Sorry I was disconnected ! So what should I look for in Xorg.0.log ?
[15:07] <Gnea> looks right to me
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> Pranay_09: alt+f2 and run; metacity --replace
[15:07] <Knofensa> wad: thanks man!
[15:07] <MatBoy> ActionParsnip: and mostly with very valuable docs @
[15:07] <MatBoy> !
[15:07] <wad> Knofensa, no problem.
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_neutral: one way to learn
[15:08] <kostkon> Knofensa, don't forget to run brasero first, before removing the ubutnu cd
[15:08] <jkd4> Gnea: talking to me?
[15:08] <jkd4> once you install dockbar how do you begin using it???
[15:08] <Gnea> jkd4: yeah
[15:08] <p1l0t> matboy what are you using gpg?
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> Matboy: that's why backup exists ;)
[15:08] <MatBoy> p1l0t: yap, standard thingy during the install
[15:08] <louhusson> edakiri: (I was also thinking maybe if I knew what differs between gnome and failsafe gnome I would get an idea of where the issue comes form)
[15:08] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip, belive me, if i had the time, and i actually wanted to do this i would be reading about it but this has been forced on me just because i knew how to use clonezilla lol
[15:08] <MatBoy> ActionParsnip: or your plans are in the outside world ;)
[15:08] <pranay_09> ActionParsnip: thanks, do i have to do it everytime i boot?
[15:08] <Gnea> jkd4: dockbar?
[15:08] <wasutton3> does anyone know of a program that will automatically organize a music collection based on tags?
[15:09] <dmdevotee> jkd4, thanks!! it asks for root pass but thanks!! works!!
[15:09] <MatBoy> p1l0t: there is a onetime script ran after the install to show it to you, but I can't remember the command
[15:09] <erUSUL> wasutton3: i know easytag can rename files based on tags and viceversa fill tags based on filenames
[15:09] <jkd4> Gnea: I just installed a theme- type thing
[15:09] <jkd4> dmdevotee: no problem
[15:09] <p1l0t> gpg --list-keys
[15:09] <Gnea> jkd4: ah, not familiar with that
[15:10] <jkd4> does anyone know how to start using eyecandy/themes once you have installed them?
[15:10] <patg> Any mac people around?
[15:10] <dmdevotee> jkd4, if i could add this file to a "do not ask for root password" it would be the heaven
[15:10] <theadmin> patg: :/ This is Ubuntu support, why would mac people be here.
[15:10] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip, ok, virtual users....is that the name for the users that log in to this FTP server that have not got accounts on the box that the server is on?
[15:10] <MatBoy> p1l0t: mhh no output
[15:10] <dmdevotee> jkd4, if i could add this file to a "do not ask for root password" database file it would be the heaven
[15:10] <jkd4> dmdevotee: that would be very unsecure
[15:10] <wasutton3> erUSUL: I have my own tagging system that works fine, i just need to move the files into proper folders
[15:10] <MatBoy> p1l0t: btw, it uses ecrypt by default
[15:11] <dmdevotee> oh
[15:11] <Gnea> jkd4: most themes I've used are just part of the desktop, so I just choose them from the standard theme switcher
[15:11] <jkd4> Gnea: and where is that?
[15:11] <erUSUL> wasutton3: as i said. easytag can rename files based on tags.
[15:11] <jlilly> hey folks. I have evolution version 2.28.1, but I don't seem to have the google calendar plugin they mention on their website. Any clues how to get it / install it / etc ?
[15:11] <patg> @theadmini mean people who run ubuntu on their macs ;-)
[15:11] <Gnea> dmdevotee: it's not asking for root password though, just yours
[15:11] <arch0njw> patg: Is your question about running Ubuntu on a Mac?
[15:11] <Dr_Willis> jkd4:  also most 'theme' stuff is actually theme PARTS you access/select via the customize button/settings in the theme tool
[15:11] <patg> @arch0njw yessiree
[15:11] <Chad__> does anyone have any good guides on setting up vlc on a server?
[15:11] <dmdevotee> gnea: but it i don't give the root pass it won't work, so it needs it, doesn't it?
[15:12] <jkd4> Dr_Willis: where are themes?
[15:12] <Chad__> does anyone have any good guides on setting up vlc on a server to stream?
[15:12] <arch0njw> patg: Not that I know anything, but I thought I would help clarify your inquiry for folks :)
[15:12] <Gnea> jkd4: in the normal place? preferences->display or something like that? been awhile since I've had to access it
[15:12] <dmdevotee> but if*
[15:12] <erUSUL> wasutton3: also exfalso
[15:12] <Gnea> dmdevotee: it's sudo, not su
[15:12] <arch0njw> patg: I'd recommend just asking your question.
[15:12] <Gnea> dmdevotee: that's why gksudo, not gksu
[15:12] <wad> "apt-get update" is giving me: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 4CCE4D718B8503AB
[15:13] <dmdevotee> gnea: sorry i'm novice, and don't know the sudo vd su difference
[15:13] <Gnea> dmdevotee: when you sudo a command, you're putting in YOUR password. the same concept applies to gksudo
[15:13] <MatBoy> p1l0t: if any idea pm me please :)
[15:13] <patg> hello everyone! I am attempting a multi-boot configuration and needed some pointers. I have a MBP and currently a osx partition i am shrinking and a windows partition I am going to shrink after using gparted live cd. I was instructed to put Ubuntu in the middle of them, and use rEFIt after. Do I need to partition swap space or will Ubuntu installer do this for me? and do I install grub or not?
[15:13] <wad> What's the magic trick to fix that?
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> jkd4: for gnome its the 'appearance' menu item in the system/prefs menu
[15:13] <arch0njw> wad: you are using a PPA and have not imported the keys
[15:13] <theadmin> Gnea: Actually, gksu is a symlink or something to the gksudo
[15:13] <Chad__> does anyone have any good guides on setting up vlc on a server to stream?
[15:13] <p1l0t> matboy: not sure what you meant by ecrypt
[15:13] <Dr_Willis> Chad__:  you have checked the vlc homepage/docs?
[15:13] <wad> arch0njw, I did "apt-get update", but that didn't help...
[15:13] <arch0njw> wad: in general, you can ignore that warning.  I tend not to import the keys out of forgetfulness.
[15:13] <eremite> Anyone know how to find out if you are using a VGA or LDSV monitor from terminal?
[15:13] <arch0njw> wad:  you have to follow specific steps to import the keys
[15:13] <wad> arch0njw, okay. I'll just ignore it.
[15:13] <Gnea> dmdevotee: ok, su is the old standard "root access" gateway. sudo is the new standard which allows the user access to root-type accesses without knowing the root password
[15:14] <ActionParsnip> Jimi_neutral: not sure dude. I dropped ftp ages ago. Everything is sent in plaintext including passwords
[15:14] <kostkon> wad, http://blog.launchpad.net/ppa/adding-a-ppas-key-to-ubuntu
[15:14] <Dr_Willis> Theres more to 'sudo' then just a new standard. :)   but most people never use the other features
[15:14] <pranay_09> ActionParsnip:do i have to do it everytime i boot?
[15:14] <Gnea> theadmin: hm, you're right
[15:14] <edakiri> louhusson: I had misunderstood previously.  i did not know it was failsafe gnome that worked.
[15:14] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip, tbh that is his problem, im just doing what i have been told, on another note i think i have found something but i dont quite get it
[15:14] <Jimi_Neutral> ActionParsnip, can i show it to you
[15:15] <eremite> Anyone know how to find out if you are using a VGA or LDSV monitor from terminal?  ActionParsnip perhaps?
[15:15] <patg> osx multiboot help?
[15:15] <Gnea> dmdevotee: and since ubuntu doesn't have a root password set, you don't have to ever worry about knowing root's password when you just need to know your own
[15:15] <dmdevotee> gnea: but in my case, there is only 1 pass, not 2 passwords for root and user
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> eremite: perhaps check the X log outputs to see what sort of stuff it sees.. but other then that. No idea.
[15:15] <l053R> Is there an elegant way to hide a particular partition from nautilus, regardless of whether it is mounted or not?
[15:15] <edakiri> eremite: xrandr or xdpyinfo perhaps
[15:15] <Gnea> dmdevotee: right, when it asks for a password, it's the same password you use when you login initially
[15:15] <Dr_Willis> eremite:  theres also dvi -> vga adaptors so even then - that might not be accurate
[15:16] <dmdevotee> gnea: so, the root password is secret?
[15:16] <Gnea> dmdevotee: it's not asking for root's password
[15:16] <Dr_Willis> dmdevotee:  there is NO root password by default
[15:16] <Gnea> dmdevotee: yes.
[15:16] <theadmin> dmdevotee: There is no root password.
[15:16] <m_anish>  Hi I am trying to learn basic opengl on my amd64 ubuntu karmic install with intel x3100 graphics chipset on a dell inspiron 1420 laptop... When I compile and run the application, the rendered display doesn't get synced to vblanks of my LCD, however the packaged glxgears application that came with my distro has its rendered framed synced with vblanks... am I missing something in my programming ; code is here http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/kNbMHWqD
[15:16] <jasonk> hey all, installed beta 1 on a dual boot system, everything standard, on reboot, got a grub error 15, any ideas?
[15:17] <theadmin> dmdevotee: Or, rather, password equals when hashed to "!", which makes password... well, unguessable (nothing ever hashed would turn out to be !)
[15:17] <louhusson> edakiri: oh sorry I probably wasn't very clear. Basically I have everything working under Failsafe, I guess I could continue using it but there's probably something wrong since I cannot login normally.
[15:17] <jimcooncat> what is the command to lock the screen?
[15:17] <zamba> jimcooncat: ctrl+alt+l
[15:17] <theadmin> jimcooncat: Ctrl+Alt+L
[15:17] <zamba> theadmin: haha! :)
[15:17] <theadmin> zamba: Err :D
[15:17] <jkd4> Dr_Willis: this is what I'm trying to install http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/DockbarX?content=101604
[15:17] <jimcooncat> no, the command, please. I want to lock the screen after this laptop auto-logs-in
[15:18] <theadmin> jimcooncat: Hmmmm. I think it's got smth to do with Gnome-session, gotta read the mans
[15:18] <rocket16> Wow! The new Green Tea theme is grand!
[15:18] <zamba> jimcooncat: gnome-screensaver-command --lock
[15:18] <usb8gb_> hi, is there tool in ubuntu like system-config-network in Centos?
[15:18] <jimcooncat> thanks zamba
[15:18] <theadmin> zamba: o_O
[15:18] <zamba> jimcooncat: haven't tested, but try it
[15:19] <jimcooncat> zamba: works for me
[15:19] <ActionParsnip> Usb8gb: what does it do that network manager doesn't?
[15:19] <p1l0t> zambo.com
[15:19] <Jimi_Neutral> anyone here use pureftp and can help me with authentication...i think i have found a solution but i sont understand it
[15:20] <pranay_09> how d
[15:20] <pranay_09> how do i open a port in ubuntu 9.10?
[15:20] <DarkStar1> Hello. I was logging on to SAMBA ok then all of a sudden, it seems to be refusing my login
[15:20] <jasonk> hey all, installed beta 1 on a dual boot system, everything standard, on reboot, got a grub error 15, any ideas? this happened with 9.10 as well, 9.04 worked like a charm
[15:20] <DarkStar1> smbclient -L localhost prints the mess
[15:20] <DarkStar1> ameas
[15:20] <DarkStar1> aarrgh,, sorry typos
[15:20] <theadmin> jasonk: #ubuntu+1 for lucid help, but if it happens on 9.10 then... dunno.
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> Pranay_09: unless you have locked them down, they are open
[15:21] <jasonk> ah, sorry, will go there
[15:21] <eremite> xrandr only outputs "default" and not a specific type of monitor (VGA etc)  Anyone know how to tell what kind fo monitor is connected from terminal?
[15:21] <pranay_09> ActionParsnip: all  ports?
[15:21] <Dr_Willis> jkd4:  thats not a theme  and there are repos for that program.
[15:21] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Wait what?  Isn't this dangerous?
[15:21] <l053R> Is there an elegant way to hide a particular partition from nautilus, regardless of whether it is mounted or not?
[15:21] <DarkStar1> ok smbclient -L localhost returns: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE.. with the right password entered
[15:21] <Dr_Willis> jkd4:  check out the dockbarx homepage and look for  'ppa' repositories for it.
[15:22] <dmdevotee> so, i could have one user with his own password and other user with his own password (both different passwords) and both are allowed to do "sudo command etc etc sucessfully"?
[15:22] <DarkStar1> I asked in #samba but it's dead
[15:22] <DarkStar1> no one responds
[15:22] <theadmin> dmdevotee: Yes, but they both must be in "admin" group
[15:22] <p1l0t> DarkStar1: no one ever responds in #samba
[15:22] <Dr_Willis> dmdevotee:  sudo allows such things..  The security in the apps is great so will be fine. If you are behind a router then the fireeall there is great too. Its one reason why running your desktop as root is really really dumb
[15:23] <DarkStar1> p1l0t: aye
[15:23] <p1l0t> DarkStar1: are you logging in from linux to windows or vis versa?
[15:23] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Desktop as root? lolwut? This would be a meh
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> theadmin:  on sudo? theres dozens of pages the discuss its ussage. and sudo has its own homepage.
[15:23] <theadmin> Dr_Willis: o_O
[15:23] <Dr_Willis> or did i get confused again. :)
[15:24] <ActionParsnip> Theadmin: tell that to the morons logging in as root then launching web facing apps. Go figure. Its their funeral
[15:24] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: :D
[15:24] <jkd4> Dr_Willis: I did use the ppa repos
[15:25] <theadmin> Dr_Willis: Well, 1) What happened to sudoers.list and this admin group coming from nowhere? 2) How to limit users to specific commands?
[15:25] <jkd4> Dr_Willis: now how do I use the dock bar?
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> Dr_willis: microsoft tried to patent sudo :)
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> jkd4:  then you update/install the tool and its in the add to panel... menu items under the gnome panel settings.
[15:25] <sledgeas> hello
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> jkd4:  same as you add anything else to the panels
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  Yep. :)
[15:25] <ActionParsnip> Hilarious to the max
[15:25] <sledgeas> doing distro-upgrade from 8.10 to 9.04 -- how can I intercept /tmp/jaunty's execution to set my preferred mirrors?
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  but they called it SudoHomePremiumUltimateBasic
[15:25] <solow> What's the command to safe a file in vim? Esc, ctrl+w right?
[15:25] <Dr_Willis> solow:  esc :w
[15:26] <solow> ah :w
[15:26] <solow> thanks
[15:26] <guada> OLA RUBEN
[15:26] <hvgotcodes> do all bash commands return a number indicating success or failure?
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> solow:  check out the vimtutor (or was it vitutor) program some time
[15:26] <guada> ABLAS ESPAÑOL
[15:26] <Myrtti> !es | guada
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> hvgotcodes:  they are supposed to  at least
[15:26] <solow> Dr_Willis, I dont use vim that often, so i dont really feel like learning all of it :)
[15:26] <ActionParsnip> Solow: nano is a little friendlier imho :)
[15:26] <Dr_Willis> I hate nano. :)
[15:27] <hvgotcodes> Dr_Willis, i just started  a new job, part of the job is administering some servers
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> Hvgotcodes: yes
[15:27] <Dr_Willis> vi is worth learning and  learning well.
[15:27] <hvgotcodes> i want to write scripts to simplify my life
[15:27] <geodatma1> good idea
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> Hvgotcodes: sweet. They can do loads. Scripts rock
[15:27] <theadmin> nano is neat, but not very powerful.
[15:27] <hvgotcodes> so writing an 'is environment up' type script, 'deploy' type scripts, etc
[15:27] <patg> any mac multiboot gurus in the place?
[15:27] <solow> ActionParsnip, Vim works just fine. i do wonder, how the .... do I exit vim. :x?
[15:27] <hvgotcodes> how would i determine which ports on the machine are up?
[15:27] <ActionParsnip> Solow: not used it. I find nano is enough
[15:28] <theadmin> hvgotcodes: "up"?
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> solow:  esc :q or :wq
[15:28] <ActionParsnip> Hvgotcodes: netstat -a
[15:28] <kcantin> Can someone please tell me the command to find out what kind of monitor I am using i.e. VGA, LVDS etc???
[15:28] <hvgotcodes> ActionParsnip, thanx lemme try that
[15:28] <solow> Dr_Willis, and :wq is safe and quit.
[15:28] <solow> save*
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> solow:  or :q!
[15:28] <kcantin> currently, xrandr outputs "default"
[15:28] <Dr_Willis> solow:  yes i know.. Ive read the docs/books on Vi/Vim :)
[15:28] <solow> save without any changes?
[15:28] <solow> no i was guessing, i didnt know.
[15:29] <ActionParsnip> Kcantin: sudo lshw | less ,may say. I'd just look round the back of the monitor personally
[15:29] <hvgotcodes> ActionParsnip, im not understanding the output; but i dont see any ports
[15:29] <Dr_Willis> learn vi basics.. then start building up. :) the vi X gui versions are handy to help you learn some of the commands also.
[15:29] <hvgotcodes> ActionParsnip, when i do netstat -anp | grep 8443 i see that a process is listening on that port
[15:29] <hvgotcodes> for example
[15:30] <hvgotcodes> i want output like that, but for all ports that have processes listening
[15:30] <eremite> NANO> EMACS > VIM
[15:31] <jsec> When I apt update, it often freezes for a while on 99% - Waiting for Headers. Does anyone know why this might happen?
[15:31] <eremite> jsec: me too
[15:31] <Axius> When will Ubuntu 10.04 release?
[15:31] <Jimi_Neutral> im trying to add a user with command line on pureFTP but it is coming back with make sure user does not exist error
[15:31] <eremite> Axius: late April.
[15:31] <Axius> eremite, How late?
[15:32] <ActionParsnip> Hvgotcodes: none
[15:32] <patryk_> witam wszystkim wlasnie smigam na ubuntu:)
[15:32] <patg> anyone know of any apple/ubuntu irc help places? every one i find is empty
[15:32] <hvgotcodes> ActionParsnip, i dont understand
[15:32] <kcantin> ActionParsnip, thanks!
[15:32] <eremite> Axius: April 29th\
[15:32] <hvgotcodes> i just did netstat -anp | grep -i listen
[15:32] <Dr_Willis> Axius:  when its done..  :)
[15:32] <hvgotcodes> that seems to be closer
[15:32] <sledgeas> i have a fast mirror next to me, how can i make the do-release-upgrade from that mirror?
[15:32] <MartyMcFly> hi
[15:32] <Myrtti> !pl | patryk_
[15:32] <Axius> ok
[15:32] <robert__> hello all
[15:33] <Emanon> !hi | robert__
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> Hvgotcodes: I get no output. If I grep for a port I know is listening I get output
[15:33] <andrek> de.net
[15:33] <robert__> can someone help me with a script
[15:33] <MartyMcFly> i want to use the "image" driver of lcd4linux at a ubuntu-server box. i always get the message: "Error 13: 'problems connecting to "localhost" on port 6600: Connection refused' Error: Cannot connect to MPD! Is MPD started?" but i don't configured something with MPD in my lcd4linux.cond
[15:33] <kcantin> ActionParsnip, for xrandr what does it need to know exactly?
[15:33] <ActionParsnip> Hvgotcodes: if you read the local address you will see an ip and after the colon is a port number
[15:33] <__uzi> how to make rows in openoffice writer?
[15:34] <kcantin> Monitor Make, Model, Serial Number???
[15:34] <robert__> sudo cp resolv.conf /etc
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> Kcantin: not sure. I don't use xrandr
[15:34] <robert__> "sudo cp resolv.conf /etc"
[15:34] <tomusic> hi, my desktop is black and doesnt show the files i placed there anymore. i i open Desktop via "places" and "Desktop" my files are available. How can i fix it to show them on my desktop?
[15:34] <hvgotcodes> ActionParsnip, right, i did not see that after -a
[15:34] <ActionParsnip> Kcantin: why not just look at the back of the monitor?
[15:35] <Martuki> 0la
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> Hvgotcodes: -a means the (a)ctive portd
[15:35] <NathanBP> Hey all :) Quick question: is Ubuntu Server edition completely command-line?
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> Ports
[15:35] <__uzi> NathanBP: yes, the default installation
[15:35] <ActionParsnip> Nathanbp: yes. If you need a desktop install the desktop system
[15:36] <hvgotcodes> ActionParsnip, ok, im new at this so you can explain it like you would to an idiot? ;)
[15:36] <hvgotcodes> i see : tcp        0      0 *:ssh                       *:*                         LISTEN
[15:36] <hvgotcodes> something like that
[15:36] <Martuki> hello?
[15:36] <hvgotcodes> so there is no port there
[15:36] <patg> need apple/ubuntu help ;-(
[15:36] <__uzi> anyone know how to make rows in openoffice writer?
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> hvgotcodes: true but the rfc standard says port 22. If you change it in /etc/ssh/sshd_config it will show a port number
[15:37] <andrespp> hvgotcodes: try netstat -ant
[15:37] <NathanBP> Thanks ActionParsnip and __uzi.  I want a desktop install, but with the power of the server install.... any way I can do that?
[15:37] <__uzi> NathanBP: its almost the same...
[15:37] <recon69_lap> anyone know how to get sound to work through hdmi?
[15:37] <ActionParsnip> Nathanbp: the desktop has all the power of the desktop
[15:38] <hvgotcodes> andrespp, close, i think -anp is better
[15:38] <tomusic> my desktop is black and doesnt show the files i placed there anymore.  when i open Desktop via "places" and "Desktop" my files are available. How can i fix it to show them on my desktop?
[15:38] <tomusic> anyone?
[15:38] <hvgotcodes> -ant did not show the process
[15:38] <NathanBP> ActionParsnip: um... not sure I understand what you just said "the desktop has all the power of the desktop"?
[15:38] <ActionParsnip> Nathanbp: the server install doesn't come with an x server and has pae enabled by default. If you need a desktop, install the desktop system
[15:39] <__uzi> NathanBP: i think he means that the desktop has all the power of the server
[15:39] <ActionParsnip> Nathanbp: if you install a desktop on the server it will be exactly the same as if you'd installed the desktop. You won't gain anything. Servers don't have desktops for security and to use less resources
[15:40] <__uzi> how to make rows in openoffice writer? (similar to columns but horizontal)
[15:40] <tomusic> oh, and when i power my computer down, my wallpaper is shown for a second...
[15:40] <tomusic> its really weird
[15:40] <__uzi> anyone plz help
[15:40] <tomusic> its a fesh install, like an hour ago
[15:40] <tomusic> 50 minutes...
[15:41] <hvgotcodes> Does a process (like ssh) always connect to a certain port?  So does the following make sense? "the firewall has port 22 open.  sshd connects to port 22"?
[15:41] <NathanBP> Thanks ActionParsnip and __uzi -- Will it install automatically with the LAMP stack?
[15:41] <ActionParsnip> Hvgotcodes: sshd uses 22 by default but you can change it for security
[15:41] <__uzi> NathanBP: install normal desktop and use synaptics to install them
[15:41] <erUSUL> hvgotcodes: is ssh the client that connects to port 22 sshd the server is listening on it
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> Nathanbp: you can add lamp after you install the desktop from the repo
[15:42] <hvgotcodes> ActionParsnip, how would i determine the difference between port 22 is available, but a process is not using it?
[15:42] <hvgotcodes> would i be look for the LISTEN in the netstat  -anp output?
[15:42] <ActionParsnip> Hvgotcodes: netstat should show it listening on its configured port
[15:42] <tomusic> ok, how do i restart x windows? /etc/init.d/xwindowserver restart?
[15:43] <ActionParsnip> Tomusic: alt+k+printscreen
[15:43] <tomusic> thanks
[15:43] <NathanBP> ActionParsnip: I'm not that good with command lines and repos yet (hence why I still need the desktop).
[15:44] <tomusic> i'm prompted to save a screenshot?

[15:50] <leagris> aj_, arista is in universe. Open package manager Synaptic and enable universe, update, then select arista and install
[15:50] <patg> uzi: insert table, rows x columns 1

[15:50] <Roasted> my network manager applet says I have 20% signal, yet when I click it and hit the drop down, I see my network has 80% strength. Wifi-Radar also confirms that my signal strength is right around 80% to my particular AP. Wonder why network manager is showing 20% in the menu, yet 80% when you open it? Silly network manager...
[15:50] <patg> histo where is #ubuntu/apple help irc? :D
[15:50] <anubis> Hi i just resized my swap partition how do i get it to mount again
[15:50] <p1l0t> DarkStar1: I have the same problem when I try to login from the command line, but yet if I open --firefox and type smb://192.whatever it works fine, lol.
[15:51] <histo> patg: dunno let me search
[15:51] <sipior> patg: what trouble are you having running ubuntu?
[15:51] <DarkStar1> p1l0t:  The problem is I cant login to the shares from windows
[15:52] <histo> patg: dont' see one are you just trying to runubuntu if so just ask in here.
[15:52] <anubis> whats the command to see my hd uuid?
[15:52] <histo> !uuid | anubis
[15:52] <DarkStar1> p1l0t: I tried from a 3rd machine. I saw the shares temporarily but when I tried to map them to a drive letter it refused the same password that was also allowed me to log in and browse the shares
[15:53] <leagris> !arista |aj
[15:53] <anubis> thanks guys
[15:53] <NathanBP> __uzi: so I already installed the server edition before I came here (thinking it'd have the option to include a desktop).  So how do I uninstall it---or at least restore the boot sector so that it no longer loads GRUB when booting the computer?
[15:53] <histo> DarkStar1: do you want the shares to have usernames and passwords?
[15:53] <BinariDragon> i need some air
[15:53] <aj_> leagris, hi, and thanks.  i have universe enabled (as far as i can tell) but it's still not showing up in synaptic
[15:53] <hechu> anubis, ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[15:53] <brummbaer> DarkStar1: have you set your smb.conf for security = share?
[15:53] <user__> i need some1
[15:53] <user__> hehehe
[15:53] <p1l0t> DarkStar1: Sometimes multiple logins for the same user causes a problem with windows. Not sure why, but sometimes rebooting them fixes the problem. Not sure if thats the best option but it has worked for me.
[15:53] <DarkStar1> brummbaer: yes
[15:54] <patg> histo: sipior: I am trying to set up a multiboot
[15:54] <histo> DarkStar1: can you pastebin your smb.conf
[15:54] <patg> I am attempting a multi-boot configuration and needed some pointers. I have a MBP and currently a osx partition i am shrinking and a windows partition I am going to shrink after using gparted live cd. I was instructed to put Ubuntu in the middle of them, and use rEFIt after. Do I need to partition swap space or will Ubuntu installer do this for me? and do I install grub or not?
[15:54] <DarkStar1> histo: they already do
[15:54] <user__> anyone knows how to operate linux
[15:54] <user__> buzz me
[15:54] <histo> !ask | user__
[15:54] <histo> !dualboot > patg
[15:54] <aj_> leagris, here is my sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu.com/401222/
[15:55] <DarkStar1> histo: http://www.pastebin.org/122986
[15:55] <hechu> user__, I use my mouse and keyboard to operate my ubuntu linux. ;-)
[15:55] <perberos> rap
[15:55] <histo> DarkStar1: you can use security = share instead of user to get rid of prompts
[15:56] <brummbaer> DarkStar1, here's my functional version
[15:56] <brummbaer> http://pastebin.org/123018
[15:56] <michela123> hi is there , in the repos, any graphical mysql administrator
[15:56] <histo> dakralso I don't see any shares in there just printers
[15:56] <michela123> not web-based like pma
[15:56] <histo> DarkStar1: I don't see any shares also just printers
[15:56] <oskarek> hello, im searchin players for freeciv now
[15:56] <anubis> hechu, thanks
[15:56] <sipior> patg: have a look here, although it seems this documentation is currently in a state of flux: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation
[15:56] <DarkStar1> histo: I took out the shares part
[15:57] <hechu> michela123, "Mysql Administrator Tool" is a GUI tool.
[15:57] <DarkStar1> histo: it was working fine until all of a sudden
[15:57] <hechu> anubis, you are welcome.
[15:57] <thst> KB1JWQ, you were right - i had been purging the wrong package - thanks a lot
[15:57] <histo> DarkStar1: ahh maybe a reboot of the windows machine is in order then thats wierd
[15:57] <michela123> thanks
[15:58] <leagris> aj_, karmic/universe arista 0.9.3+repack-0ubuntu3
[15:58] <odemux686> hi
[15:58] <leagris> ok aj_ you are using jaunty and it is on karmic universe :)
[15:58] <robert__> hello!!!!!!!!!! im bac
[15:59] <Roasted> whats a good application to use that'll show all access points (even with the same SSID) with their corresponding signal strength?
[15:59] <meganerd> kismet
[15:59] <robert__> now... i gotta figure out who was helping me
[15:59] <aj_> leagris, oh i see.  i read from this page: http://anotherubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/04/introducing-arista-transcoder.html "Jaunty is the first release that supports everything needed to run Arista" so i'm a little confised :S
[15:59] <leagris> aj_, you may upgrade to karmic after s/jaunty/karmic int your sources files and apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade
[16:00] <robert__> anyone wanna try??
[16:00] <histo> DarkStar1: i'd pastebin mine but stupid pastebinit isn'tworking hre
[16:00] <aj_> leagris, i did that last week and the laptop would not boot (black screen only)...so i spendt all week restoring jaunty :(
[16:00] <Alexa> hI HELLO

[16:01] <pragma_> Alexa: shut the fuck up
[16:01] <Alexa> i don know
[16:01] <LjL> pragma_: that's uncalled for
[16:01] <Alexa> i need a titcher
[16:01] <LjL> !offtopic | alexa
[16:01] <histo> I'm trying cat /etc/samba/smb.conf | pastebinit  just returns http://pastebin.com   with no direct url
[16:01] <gorgonzola> hello all! why is mysql in dependency hell in lucid for amd64?
[16:01] <thst> KB1JWQ, any way to purge all config data from already removed packages?
[16:01] <aj_> well, i use he update manager and pressed the button @ the top to upgrande to karmic
[16:01] <DarkStar1> I'm going to reboot everything
[16:01] <DarkStar1> brb
[16:02] <iceroot> pragma_: whatch your language or go!
[16:02] <Alexa> ok
[16:02] <StaRetji> ehm, I've run dpkg -i xbmc_28790-1_i386.deb and it give at the end Setting up xbmc (28790-1) ...but...I still have old version of xbmc (I'm using Jaunty XBMC-live babylon). Any thoughts?
[16:02] <aj_> leagris, sorry forgot to put your nick...see above
[16:02] <Alexa> a one moment plis
[16:02] <Alexa> atender
[16:02] <odemux686> someone knows why my router automatically opens port 30,005, but it reset to factory defaults?
[16:02] <jsec> !es | Alexa
[16:02] <leagris> aj_, you could try download the source package and rebuild it within your jaunty
[16:02] <Alexa> one moment
[16:03] <Roasted> whats a good application to use that'll show all access points (even with the same SSID) with their corresponding signal strength?
[16:03] <jsec> does anyone know where i could get the source for a specific system call? not the entire kernel.
[16:03] <aj_> leagris, i might just try that.  i'm download ing the tarball now.  thanks
[16:03] <abstrakt> Alexa, learn to speak english
[16:03] <Alexa> ok.
[16:03] <nfm> lol
[16:03] <abstrakt> Alexa, that includes using proper spelling
[16:03] <sipior> jsec: install "dev-manpages", then try man -k
[16:03] <Sniper777> http://www.imagebam.com/image/27d95e73446943
[16:04] <sipior> abstrakt: leave off.
[16:04] <abstrakt> Alexa, hell it's easier to use proper spelling than it is to speak a frickin language anyway, you can lookup proper spelling, you'll almost never get rid of a foreign accent
[16:04] <Alexa> +tell me something i dont know!!
[16:04] <DarkStar1> back
[16:04] <Sniper777> linuxdc++
[16:05] <tomusic> my wallpaper is changing every five minutes... how can i stop that?
[16:05] <jsec> abstrakt, that's frickinG. if you're going to be nitpicky, at least please use the language correctly yourself.
[16:05] <jimcooncat> I set up autologon on this laptop, how can I have nm-applet stop from asking for a password?
[16:05] <jsec> sipior, that only tells me what the sytem call does, i'm looking for the actual source for the call
[16:06] <sipior> jsec: then grab the kernel sources, of course. also, the package name is "manpages-dev" (i always reverse that)
[16:06] <aj_> jimcooncat, i have the same issue..so i chose the unsafe route and used no password.  now iam no longer bothered by nm
[16:06] <LekeFly> Master Boot Record is stored on the hardrive right... ? so if i take out hard disk 1 and insert hard disk 2.. install windows on it.. then just insert hard disk 1.. ? will that work
[16:07] <abstrakt> jsec, no actually it's frickin, no one i know actually pronounces it with the full ing at the end, and given that i'm a native speaker, it's legit for me to use colloquial expressions, i.e. leaving off the g on a word that ends with 'ing'
[16:07] <jsec> sipior, i have them, i just didn't want to wade through all of them to find a single system call if there was an easier way about it >_<. thanks for the help though.
[16:07] <Roasted> whats a good application to use that'll show all access points (even with the same SSID) with their corresponding signal strength?
[16:07] <sipior> abstrakt: jsec: let's stay on topic, gentlemen.
[16:07] <jimcooncat> aj_, this needs a password as user will walk away and screensaver needs to kick on. I just want to autologon as I have a bios password set, and user doesn't have to be bothered halfway during startup to logon
[16:07] <martin101> hello all, how can I get evince to always stop showing the toolbar?
[16:07] <martin101> and the sidebar
[16:08] <aj_> Roasted, maybe have you tried wifi radar?
[16:08] <aj_> jimcooncat, i see.  sorry that i am unable to help further
[16:09] <Roasted> aj_, Im using wifi radar, but its signal strength meters seem to be relatively... random. I'll be at an access point and for 10 seconds have 0% signal, then 100%, then 20%, then 0%, etc. I was looking for something a little more consistent.
[16:09] <LekeFly> Need some help with installing Windows guys.. Master Boot Record is stored on the hardrive right... ? so if i take out hard disk 1 and insert hard disk 2.. install windows on it.. then just insert hard disk 1.. ? will that work
[16:10] <imp|cat> afaik nm needs the password to open the password storage and retrieve your credentials for wifi; I had this issue as well and the solution for me was to disable automatic login - it is less annoying that way (the initial system login unlocks the wifi password storage)
[16:10] <jimcooncat> I need to find a way to get to the keyring, so I can try creating a new one. I don't see System > Preferences > Encryption and Keyrings in Karmic.
[16:10] <histo> DarkStar1: here's mine http://paste.ubuntu.com/401227/
[16:10] <pranay_09> isn't it insecure if all ports are open in ubuntu?
[16:10] <pranay_09> how do i close any port?
[16:10] <histo> DarkStar1: the share is at the bottom
[16:10] <sipior> pranay_09: if there's nothing listening on that port, it is already closed :-)
[16:10] <histo> pranay_09: no
[16:11] <aj_> jimcooncat, is seahorse-preferences what you are after?
[16:11] <pranay_09> sipior:how do i close any port?
[16:12] <jimcooncat> aj_ I bet it is
[16:12] <tahnok> hello
[16:12] <antonio_> ciao
[16:12] <sipior> pranay_09: halt the service which is using the port.
[16:12] <Norm> call me dense... but why can't i seem to find the option to download an IMG (bootable for usb) version of ubuntu instead of the regular ISO?
[16:12] <nibbler> pranay_09, iptables -I INPUT -p tcp/udp --dport 80/whatever -j DROP
[16:13] <BluesKaj> !usb
[16:13] <tahnok> I'm trying to figure out how to power down one of the hybrid video cards in my laptop
[16:13] <tahnok> can anyone help me with that?
[16:13] <DarkStar1> histo: I'm replacing the conf file with the default and copying over the shares
[16:13] <BluesKaj> Norm, read above , check the urls
[16:13] <Norm> BluesKaj: will check it out, thanks
[16:14] <histo> DarkStar1: some of the key options are security = share and forceuser and forcegroup that way files don't get all jacked when they are written to the share.
[16:14] <histo> DarkStar1: and guest access
[16:14] <Dr_Willis> tahnok:  sounds liek a very new feture that may have very little linux support at this time.
[16:14] <DarkStar1> histo: here's the pastebin of the new conf: http://www.pastebin.org/123048
[16:15] <Dr_Willis> tahnok:  that one of those alienwares that have 2 video cards?
[16:15] <tahnok> Dr_Willis: it is
[16:15] <fredim> where are the settings of the remote control ...   everything is configured automatically. but would like to change
[16:15] <fredim> lirc
[16:15] <tahnok> I don't care about switching, I just want to power off the nvidia card
[16:15] <hechu> Norm, here is a useful URL: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
[16:15] <socket_77> tahnok: Can you disable it in the BIOS?
[16:15] <Dr_Willis> tahnok:  so new - i would be suprised if any linux supports  the fancy features.  I was looking at those laptops also. :)
[16:15] <tahnok> the bios let's me select which card to use
[16:16] <tahnok> so at the moment it's set to integrate
[16:16] <tahnok> but linux is still powering the other card
[16:16] <rabbit1> whats the file size of ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso ?
[16:16] <Dr_Willis> tahnok:  i find that with 'cutting edge/brand new laoptops' its often  a few months befor linux catches up to  handle all the new stuff
[16:16] <histo> DarkStar1: make sure you restart samba for it to take the new config. sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[16:16] <tahnok> Dr_Willis: The laptop runs like a charm atm, except for the bad battery
[16:16] <DarkStar1> histo:  your Security = share option is commented out
[16:16] <Dr_Willis> tahnok:  and thats a VERY new cutting edge feature.  Im not even sure  if removeing/unloading the nvidia driver would help
[16:17] <xiven> Hi guys
[16:17] <Dr_Willis> tahnok:  You can guess what im planing on asking the wife to get me for Xmas. :)
[16:17] <rabbit1> file size of ubuntu-9.10-desktop-amd64.iso is 690.8 MB?
[16:17] <tahnok> Dr_Willis: I don't believe I have any of the nvidia drivers installed
[16:17] <histo> DarkStar1: yeah it still reads it though.
[16:17] <Dr_Willis> rabbit1:  that sounda about right.
[16:17] <pragma_> xiven: do we look like your friends?
[16:17] <xiven> I am looking for an appropriate command to check for a local on any program that has 'xxxx' in its name...
[16:17] <wolfeyes> Who uses imagemagick here?
[16:17] <Dr_Willis> tahnok:  i wonder if the support for the thing is part of the nvidia drivers theirselfs under windows
[16:17] <rabbit1> Dr_Willis: ??
[16:18] <xiven> pragma> I don't know..I can't see you :P
[16:18] <DopeGhoti> xiven: what aspect of it are you wanting to audit?
[16:18] <tahnok> I believe acpi has a command to tell a certain device to power off
[16:18] <Dr_Willis> rabbit1:  its 1 cd. so yes. that looks right.
[16:18] <aj_> When i resume this laptop from suspend, the screen is black.  is there a way to fix this?  i'm using jaunty 9.04
[16:18] <masu3701> how to convert word doc to pdf?
[16:18] <DarkStar1> histo: I read that it doesn't read it. the default is seucrity = users so it will act in that way
[16:18] <tahnok> but I don't know where to look for that\
[16:18] <robert__> masu.....
[16:18] <tahnok> masu3701: there's an option in open office to save a file as a pdf
[16:18] <DopeGhoti> xiven: There's iotop, pstree, top, netstat, lsof…
[16:18] <robert__> print to file
[16:18] <xiven> Well, if bash finds a program which name contains 'xxxx', then it would print the location of that such program
[16:18] <masu3701> cool
[16:19] <rabbit1> Dr_Willis: i currently in 32 bit hardy, thinking of lucid 64 bit in future, so before, shall i change to 64 bit hardy ?
[16:19] <wolfeyes> masu3701, I want to convert a whole bunch of files in a folder, but how do you write that exactly, anyone!
[16:19] <robert__> are you using openoffice??
[16:19] <masu3701> tahnok: and that file cant be modify?
[16:19] <DarkStar1> histo:  replacing the conf file hasn't helped at all
[16:19] <Dr_Willis> rabbit1:  if i can run 64bit on a machine i Alwaays run 64bit...
[16:19] <DarkStar1> it refuses any authentication
[16:19] <rawr> hey
[16:19] <Dr_Willis> rabbit1:  i dont see muchj need to stick with 32bit on a machine that can do 64bit
[16:19] <tahnok> masu3701: it's a pdf file, so if you have software that edits pdf it should work
[16:19] <brummbaer> darkstar1: i hope you're restarting smbd after updating your conf?
[16:19] <rabbit1> Dr_Willis: s i can (AMD 64bit)
[16:19] <DarkStar1> brummbaer:  yes!
[16:19] <tahnok> anyone know anything about acpi?
[16:20] <brummbaer> darkstar1: just checkin' ;)
[16:20] <DarkStar1> brummbaer: I actually stopped then started it
[16:20] <DarkStar1> brummbaer: think I'll just uninstall and re-install samba
[16:20] <hechu> xiven, I don't know maybe this is what you need " find ./ | grep 'xxx' "
[16:20] <Dr_Willis> tahnok:  i know its the kind of system that new hardware often has issues with untill kernel patches/fix's/drivers catch up :)
[16:20] <rabbit1> Dr_Willis: my ques is shall i straight install lucid 64 or shall i install 64 hardy then upgrade ?
