[00:00] <zanzibar1982> I was having issues with flashplayer so I updated ubu (283 packs)
[00:00] <zanzibar1982> suddenly this "namoroka" eat firefox
[00:01] <zanzibar1982> and now is not that I have issues with flash... I have no flash at all!!!
[00:01] <sebsebseb> Ryann_: luckily for me I am hard wired ethernet :)  so the last time I tried to do anything persoanlly with Ndiswrapper was in 2004 before Ubuntu even existed with Fedora Core 2.  I also didn't know what to do since I was new at the time, however Ndiswrapper is not that difficult to set up these days, but no I can't just  tell you how to do it, however there are people I could ask if they around, plus other people in the channel will know how.

[00:01] <DasEi> zanzibar1982: which ff-version (about tells you)
[00:02] <sebsebseb> Ryann_:  it allows Linux to run the Windows driver, that's all you need to know about it really
[00:02] <sebsebseb> Ryann_: and how to use it of course
[00:02] <jmcantrell> is there any way to query the indicator system from the command line?
[00:02] <zanzibar1982> so, I would like to date back uninstalling firefox and namoroka and bring back the fox browser as just installed
[00:02] <mahdi1602> hi all

[00:02] <mahdi1602> how to enable cube desktop on ubuntu?
[00:02] <mibocote> I am trying to install dovecot-postfix on a fresh installation, it fails and the first error is that 'hostname: Name or service not known'
[00:02] <zanzibar1982> ok, wait I will post the about:plugins
[00:02] <DasEi> jmcantrell: indicator sys ? explain more

[00:03] <mahdi1602> i have the lastset ubuntu
[00:03] <sebsebseb> Ryann_: you need the .inf file
[00:03] <CogitoErgoSam> flan_suse I don't remember specifically what I changed, but I bet you can force your settings in gconf-editor in the following section:   Apps->gnome-power-manager
[00:03] <jmcantrell> DasEi: you know. the thing that displays new messages
[00:03] <Ryann_> Right, I can get it.
[00:03] <Ryann_> Just the .inf, nothing else?
[00:03] <mahdi1602> how to enable cube desktop on ubuntu?
[00:03] <alket> Daisei: How to change it because i can't ?
[00:03] <powertool08> mahdi1602: Look at the message from ubottu.

[00:04] <zanzibar1982> se... I have no flashplayer: the first voice is about silverlight
[00:04] <CogitoErgoSam> flan_suse:  The gnome-power-manager settings in gconf has a section called "actions" with the key's "critical_battery = hibernate" and "critical_ups = shutdown" that you might be able to change
[00:04] <jmcantrell> DasEi: that's the log for general system logging

[00:05] <Juanca> Hi, please help... I was using Aptana IDE based on Eclipse, in fact I had both installed and the first one was working ok until today, now it freezes and I can't do anything else even though I still can move the mouse, and the music from internet continues playing... I think this may have something to do with Java... or could it be the graphic card?
[00:06] <Xenoit> Unfortunatly that page is a little beyond me, I'm not sure what I need to add exactly, nor how to do so.  heh.
[00:06] <sebsebseb> Ryann_: you need to run some commands or something, to use the .inf file, I don't remember exactly,  trying to find out though
[00:06] <DasEi> alket: what do you want it to do ?
[00:06] <sebsebseb> !info ndiswrapper
[00:06] <test34> The system log viewer doesnt list /var/log/cups/* log files ?
[00:07] <sebsebseb> Ryann_: you need to install the program,  I think it's in one of the repo's
[00:07] <test34> they are very important
[00:07] <sebsebseb> for Ubuntu
[00:07] <alket> DasEi: I want to change status icons in pidgin to look like empathy ones because they are very ugly
[00:07] <zanzibar1982> please :( how do I delete nomoroka AND firefox?
[00:08] <DasEi> alket: I don't get your exact task ; you can set buddy alarms, highlights, colours...
[00:08] <sebsebseb> Ryann_: here you go https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[00:08] <Juanca> Hi, please help...

I think this may have something to do with Java... or could it be the graphic card?
[00:08] <sebsebseb> Ryann_: oh lost you?
[00:09] <Ryan__> sebsebseb: yeah, d/c :S
[00:09] <jmcantrell> DasEi: be honest. you were just totally guessing when you said /var/log/messages
[00:09] <kyubutsu> zanzibar1982: use Ubuntu sotfware Center [at the bottom of Applications menu] search for programs by name and choose to remove, thats the easy way
[00:09] <Ryan__> sebsebseb: how do i get ndiswrapper?
[00:09] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: ok well I was messaging when away, but most of that isn't that relivent,  but well anyway
[00:09] <alket> DasEi: Sorry for my english, you see Tools/Preferences/Themes > Status Theme , Budylist theme etc. I want to change that from a pack that i have but I can't figure out where to put them
[00:09] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: right so you use the .inf  and  probably do some commands in the terminal to use it, if I remember correclty
[00:09] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: here you go https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper
[00:09] <DasEi> jmcantrell: I got your question for messages not libnotify

[00:10] <zanzibar1982> kyubutsu the easy way is not the working way this time ... I did sudo apt-get uninstall firefox and then reinstall it... and I get again nomoroka!!!
[00:10] <jmcantrell> DasEi: nope. not libnotify either. indicator
[00:11] <CogitoErgoSam> !repeat | Juanca
[00:11] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: and I messaged you before saying  that I wasn't sure,  but was trying to find out
[00:11] <zanzibar1982> now I am trying to reinstall ffox from chrome download... let's see
[00:11] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: now if you don't understand that page,  just tell me that here
[00:11] <kyubutsu> zanzibar1982: try sudo apt-get remove firefox && sudo apt-get remove nomoroka
[00:11] <Castarmax> Can anyone please read this and let me know what my problem is?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/431914/
[00:12] <Confuzed> question
[00:12] <DreadKnight> anyone on digg that wants to help improve the gaming situation on linux/ubuntu? ;-)
[00:12] <danand> zanzibar1982: Did you try apt-get --purge remove?
[00:12] <DasEi> zanzibar1982: namoroka is firefox but named so for copyright reasons
[00:12] <zanzibar1982> no
[00:12] <Confuzed> anyone know how to get nero to install on ubuntu 10.04?
[00:12] <zanzibar1982> DasEi I do not agree
[00:13] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: ideally you would get the wireless working natively, but since your not that experienced and you had problems, I guess better for you to use ndiswrapper, well for now at least
[00:13] <Xenoit> okay, now it's telling me that the wireless device is not ready, and that I should checkto see if it is on.  The button on the laptop that controls the wifi is not lit, and when I press it nothing happens.  (Quick press or long press) could the problem actually be with the driver compaq had for the quick buttons?
[00:13] <sebsebseb> Confuzed: sort of
[00:13] <sebsebseb> Confuzed: however you don't really need it
[00:13] <zanzibar1982> danand what does --purge does?
[00:13] <sebsebseb> Confuzed: since there are good enough  or better alternatives
[00:13] <Juanca> I was using Aptana IDE based on Eclipse (I had both installed) and the first one was working ok until today, now it freezes and I can't do anything else in Ubuntu even though I still can move the mouse, and the music from internet continues playing... can't make the bars appear, the Aptana window blocks everything else
[00:13] <kyubutsu> zanzibar1982: also, check for hidden configuration files that might be left over in your /home [from these applications] before reinstalling
[00:13] <zanzibar1982> kyubutsu ok
[00:13] <Guest12637> Hi, does anyone can help me solve :"Clock" has quit unexpectedly
[00:13] <Purpley> Hey is there a GUI for starting FlightGear and enabling terrasync?
[00:13] <danand> zanzibar1982: Removes the package along with all configuration files
[00:13] <Ryan__> sebsebseb: would I be able to use this, http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php - the .gz file doesn't contain any .inf file.
[00:14] <DasEi> alket: there you set the behaviour in case of no action from you for a certain time
[00:14] <sebsebseb> Confuzed: right so Ubuntu comes with Brasero by default, which isn't exactly near like.   Don't forget to delete hidden files in your home dir relating to those apps too

Before the upgrade these things were not issues: One, My accelerated nvidia driver works exactly every other time I boot my computer. Every other time it tells me it has to work in failsafe mode. Second, when I wake up from sleep/hibernate, my laptop is unable to release its IP Address from my router. Three, Flash performane is te

[00:16] <CogitoErgoSam> Juanca I don't know, how about at least until the previous request has scrolled off the screen :P
[00:16] <sebsebseb> Confuzed: right read this,  and  well unless someone else starts to help you with your wireless,  I might try and help you in a bit, but right now I am trying to help Ryan__ with a wireless issue, and I don't normally do these

[00:17] <Bax> for ubuntu 9.10, under System-> Display, what is this program and how can I install it on other linux distros that don't have it?  I have better luck working with this gui than I do with editing xorg.config files.
[00:17] <Confuzed> sebsebseb i will be hooking up a wire to PC from router soon and getting rid of the wireless
[00:17] <CogitoErgoSam> Juanca:  Just relax, don't take it personal.  If its a problem with a specific IDE, why not check if it has its own community, wiki or chat room?
[00:17] <zanzibar1982> if i try to remove namoroka it tells me unable to find pkg... maybe I did it
[00:17] <Juanca>  I was using Aptana IDE based on Eclipse (I had both installed) and the first one was working ok until today, now it freezes and I can't do anything else in Ubuntu even though I still can move the mouse, and the music from internet continues playing... can't make the bars appear, the Aptana window blocks everything else

[00:20] <Kentrel> I'm running apache, and for some reason when I go to localhost/index.php the php file downloads, rather than running the script. WTF
[00:20] <Kentrel> It worked last night

[00:20] <DasEi> !ccsm | mahdi1602

[00:21] <boss_mc> Kentrel: have you made sure the php addon is enabled (a2enmod php5)?
[00:21] <Bax> boss_mc, can I just copy and past gnome-display-properties from usr/bin and through it into other linux distribution, like xubuntu, and it will work?  Especially in setting up a dual monitor display?
[00:21] <DasEi> mahdi1602 : ccsm does the trick

[00:23] <DCGstudios> Hello

[00:23] <jrib> sebsebseb: "ty" is aliased to "thanks" I think, he said it earlier
[00:23] <myrl> dcgstudios hi
[00:23] <sebsebseb> jrib: maybe, but I didn't see it
[00:24] <jrib> Confuzed: it's very easy to install programs on linux.  Do you know about Software Center?
[00:24] <khafra> Seriously--how do I start menus off the top bar in super-user mode or something?
[00:24] <ataufik> owh... no one respond to my question? How to maximize the speed of modem UMTS Merlin U630 on lucid?
[00:24] <sebsebseb> jrib: and you meant she :D
[00:24] <DCGstudios> Whats the most effective way to add an OS to grub.cfg ... im very familiar with grub but not without menu.lst
[00:24] <jrib> khafra: why?  What do you want to do exactly?
[00:24] <DasEi> !pm > tripleb
[00:24] <CaptainTrek> ataufik: um... define "speed of modem"
[00:24] <Juanca> Confuzed: I undertand you, this is my third try to change to linux and things are being hard again
[00:24] <Confuzed> jrib: yes but some programs don't work in software center like the nero 4
[00:24] <myrl> dcgstudios you can run sudo update-grub
[00:24] <Juanca> Confuzed: understand*
[00:24] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: ok, but do you know how to compile from source?
[00:24] <myrl> dcgstudios it will find the os
[00:24] <jrib> Confuzed: there are lots of great burning programs in the repositories, have you given them a try?
[00:24] <Ryan__> sebsebseb; what's that/
[00:24] <ataufik> CaptainTrek: its only get  max 64k while I am in UMTS channel (blue light on modem)
[00:24] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: actsaully if you  download the file and open it, there will probably be a read me, on how to do that
[00:25] <khafra> jrib: I had to go to the cli to mount my hard drive because the gui didn't have permissions to it.  I don't know how to configure my sound output on the cli, so I just plain can't do it.
[00:25] <Juanca> I was using Aptana IDE based on Eclipse (I had both installed) and the first one was working ok until today, now it freezes and I can't do anything else in Ubuntu even though I still can move the mouse, and the music from internet continues playing... can't make the bars appear, the Aptana window blocks everything else

[00:25] <Purpley> Hey is there a GUI for starting FlightGear and enabling terrasync?
[00:25] <DCGstudios> myrl is that just going to take what i have from my MBR? becuase i just did a fresh install and it detected it but it will not boot
[00:25] <CaptainTrek> ataufik: and its supposed to get... what?
[00:25] <jrib> khafra: what's your question now?
[00:25] <khafra> jrib: The default hard disk install of ubuntu locked down the system so tightly that I can't do anything I could on the livecd
[00:25] <CogitoErgoSam> !grub2 | DCGstudios
[00:25] <CaptainTrek> ataufik: because it could be many other things than just *nix causing slower speeds...
[00:25] <myrl> dcgstudios it will search the computer for other oses and add them to the men
[00:25] <Confuzed> my ubuntu can not play blu ray movies, have not tried to load the USB tv tuner yet
[00:25] <khafra> jrib: I can't hear sound, and I'm pretty sure it's because the sound driver doesn't have permissions to the device
[00:25] <ataufik> CaptainTrek: its supposed to get up to 300kbps something?
[00:25] <Brownie3851> i am very new to ubuntu and am using lucid, can anyone tell me if itunes will work with this system and if so how can i install it?
[00:25] <Confuzed> so many things ahead to figure out
[00:26] <CaptainTrek> ataufik: define your "64k"  is that kilobytes (kB)?
[00:26]  * myrl brb
[00:26] <jrib> khafra: what does pavucontrol show as your output device?
[00:26] <Jordan_U> DCGstudios: What do you mean by "won't boot"? What does happen when you select the menu entry, and for what OS?
[00:26] <khafra> jrib: "sudo aplay -l" at the command line lists my sound device just fine, but "aplay -l" lists nothing.  The graphical sound configuration program also lists nothing
[00:26] <khafra> jrib: pavucontrol is not installed.
[00:26] <jrib> khafra: are you in gnome, logged in through gdm?  install it...
[00:26] <ataufik> CaptainTrek: in windows I can run at full UMTS 300kbps. Yes 64k = 64kbps
[00:26] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: I think the page the bot just gave, is what you want?
[00:26] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U when i start it from grub, it errors with "kernel panic..blah blah"
[00:26] <Ramza> Would there be any compatibility issues installing Ubuntu Netbook Remix on a regular notebook and is there any benefit (smaller footprint?/lighter memory or cpu usage?) other than the UI, over Ubuntu?
[00:26] <Juanca> Brownie3851: There are some alternatives to iTunes, why do you want it?
[00:27] <sebsebseb> Ramza: no  benefit at all I think, except for the GUI
[00:27] <CogitoErgoSam> !UNR | Ramza
[00:27] <Brownie3851> i used it all the time when i used windows and am just used to it
[00:27] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U The kernel that the OS is using is a custom kernel which i have directed it to inside grub.cfg
[00:27] <zanzibar1982> I am trying ubuntuzilla installer... I'll keep you guys updated
[00:27] <Ryan__> sebsebseb, i think it is
[00:27] <khafra> jrib: I just installed it. It agrees with the built-in graphical sound configuration program, whatever that is. "no cards available for configuration
[00:27] <Xerran> Is it ok to install the restricted drivers for the "Mobility Radeon HD 4200" that come with 10.04?
[00:27] <CaptainTrek> ataufik: no, there's two different identifications for speed: kilo*bits* per second (kbps) and kilo*Bytes*(kB) per second
[00:27] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: as for compilting from source, I guess may as well explain that
[00:27] <CaptainTrek> ataufik:  if you're getting 64kilobytes a second...
[00:27] <jrib> khafra: in output devices, it doesn't even list "dummy"?
[00:28] <Juanca> I was using Aptana IDE based on Eclipse (I had both installed) and the first one was working ok until today, now it freezes and I can't do anything else in Ubuntu even though I still can move the mouse, and the music from internet continues playing... can't make the bars appear, the Aptana window blocks everything else
[00:28] <tripelb> "Everything we get, outside the free gifts of nature, must in some way be paid for." Robert A. Heinlein popularized a summarization/acronym of the concept called "TANSTAAFL" (There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch).
[00:28] <sebsebseb> Ryan__:  most programs for Ubuntu you will get from the repo's  so yeah through Software Centre or on the command line with apt-get.  and they  are Deb's
[00:28] <Confuzed> i need the ubuntu for dummies remedial edition lol
[00:28] <tripelb> oops
[00:28] <khafra> jrib: Yeah, it shows "dummy output" as the only option there, and has no devices listed under the "configuration" tab
[00:28] <jrib> khafra: are you in gnome, logged in through gdm?
[00:28] <Jordan_U> DCGstudios: What OS, what kernel? Did you write your own kernel from scratch?
[00:28] <khafra> jrib: Yup
[00:28] <sebsebseb> Confuzed: you checking out the manual?
[00:28] <zanzibar1982> Confuzed me too
[00:28] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: however not all programs are like that
[00:28] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U its backtrack 4 (ubuntu8.10), and i just recompiled the kernel to include broadcom drivers. nothing fancy.
[00:29] <khafra> jrib: Default configuration. Did nothing but burn a 10.04 x64 usb which worked perfectly, then installed to the hdd
[00:29] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: some programs will be in  .tar.gz and that kind of thing,  so like .zip in Windows, except  it's the actsaul program in there
[00:29] <Ramza> Thanks sebsebseb and CogitoErgoSam.  Main concern was because all the pages keep mentioning it has been optimised for intel atom processors.  sounds like that won't create any problems then, thank you very much.
[00:29] <ataufik> CaptainTrek: Sorry I am newbie on that kind of details. The current download throughput is max 7-8 kbps while it should be max 40 kbps something
[00:29]  * Monotoko starts writing Ubuntu for dummies remedial edition
[00:29] <Confuzed> a lot of the stuff in manual i get as far as running apps and so on but knowing how to move the trx or deb files to right place to install is another story
[00:29] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U it also worked perfectly when i was running grub off that partition before i upgraded to lucid
[00:29] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: then you can compile as in unextract and install the program using commands
[00:29] <Ryan__> sebsebseb; i've always had trouble installing a .tar.gz file - i just don't know how to do it
[00:29] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: messaged wrong one?
[00:29] <mrwes> !compile
[00:29] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: yes it's a bit difficult at first
[00:29] <CaptainTrek> ataufik: do me a favor, go to speedtest.net and run a test there
[00:29] <jrib> khafra: ok.  Well I can tell you what I know.  I came across an issue yesterday where I didn't have permissions to the sound device if I didn't log in through gdm.  Apparently, PolicyKit magic happens when you log in through gdm to give you access to the sound devices.  I worked around this by adding my user to the audio group.  In your case, it may be indicative of a buggy install.  Are you sure the
[00:29] <jrib> install was successful.  Did you checksum the disc?
[00:29] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: and yeah I was about to use that factoid, but mrwes :D
[00:29] <CaptainTrek> tell me the results (down speed and up speed)
[00:29] <ataufik> CaptainTrek: ok... give some minutes
[00:30] <mrwes> Ryan__, I would also use Checkinstall when you compile
[00:30] <CaptainTrek> mhm
[00:30] <Brownie3851> Juanca: if itunes doesnt work, what do you recommend?
[00:30] <Guest12637> Hi, someone willing to help me?
[00:30] <bsmith093> is it possible to update and or patch the ubuntu linux kernel on the fly?
[00:30] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: it seems quite complacted at first, but it's not that difficult at all really, once you know how
[00:30] <khafra> jrib: Didn't checksum the .iso; I could. Perhaps I'll just add myself to the audio group, though; if that worked
[00:30] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: and as I was saying before, most of these archeives will have a read me inside them, that will tell you how
[00:30] <felon> does ubuntu come with a html editor
[00:30] <mrwes> Ryan__, it'll allow you to uninstall using Synaptic Package Manager
[00:30] <sebsebseb> !html | felon
[00:30] <skydrome> HTML: Unable to validate | felon: You need to supply a URI scheme (e.g http)
[00:30] <DasEi> bsmith093: on fly? you can install and/or patch , then need a reboot
[00:30] <sebsebseb> felon: also you could install Seamonkey
[00:30] <jrib> khafra: even if it works, this may be a hint that something else went wrong.  You should certainly have sound if it worked on the live cd
[00:30] <mrwes> sebsebseb, that doesnt' happen that often :)
[00:31] <Castarmax> What is the proper format to ask for support here?
[00:31] <khafra> jrib: hrm. I'd have to make an audio group; there isn't one built-in.
[00:31] <bsmith093> how do i get the latest ubuntu kernel patches
[00:31] <ataufik> CaptainTrek: I got info from here : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkManager/Hardware/3G#Mobile%20Broadband%20cards to install serial.cs module. But seems its old manual.
[00:31] <sebsebseb> mrwes: that you used it before me? well sure, but I was trying to explain first what it meant, before using factoid
[00:31] <jrib> khafra: erm, there was for me... hold on
[00:31] <mahdi1602> ubuntu, tnx for your help
[00:31] <mahdi1602> have goood time
[00:31] <mahdi1602> by
[00:31] <Ryan__> mrwes, so, basically, it's installing it, but you gotta type the commands in a terminal?
[00:31] <DasEi> !detail | Castarmax
[00:31]  * kyubutsu agrees with jrib on 'adding user to audio group' solution
[00:31] <mrwes> sebsebseb, sorry -- didn't mean to interfer
[00:31] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: yes
[00:31] <Castarmax> !detail
[00:31] <khafra> jrib: Oh, whups
[00:31] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: after extracting
[00:31] <CaptainTrek> ataufik: ohhhhh... you're on mobile broadband?
[00:31] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: you will extract it some where
[00:31] <DasEi> !details | Castarmax
[00:31] <Jordan_U> DCGstudios: Could you pastebin your grub.cfg? Custom menu entries go in /etc/grub.d/40_custom, but unless you used non standard names for your kernel / initrd auto detection should have worked.
[00:31] <ataufik> CaptainTrek: yes
[00:32] <khafra> jrib: There is; I was distracted by the "pulse" and "pulse-access" groups
[00:32] <CaptainTrek> ataufik: that makes an insane difference in my answers...
[00:32] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: you can extract using the terminal, or graphically easilly
[00:32] <Confuzed> i have manual saved it does have a lot of help with hardware
[00:32] <Castarmax> !details
[00:32] <mrwes> Ryan__, yah --- configure /  make / make install or checkinstall
[00:32] <Juanca> I was using Aptana IDE based on Eclipse (I had both installed) and the first one was working ok until today, now it freezes and I can't do anything else in Ubuntu even though I still can move the mouse, and the music from internet continues playing... can't make the bars appear, the Aptana window blocks everything else
[00:32] <ataufik> CaptainTrek: Merlin U630 is UMTS mobile broadband
[00:32] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: then  cd into the folder it's distracted,  cd /home/Ryan/example
[00:32] <Ryan__> sebsebseb. extracted?
[00:32] <sebsebseb> mrwes: you didn't have to pm that :D  ,but nevermind
[00:32] <CaptainTrek> ataufik: mobile broadband is NEVER going to give you your full speed, as it relies on the same radio signals as cell phones IIRC (at least in the USA).  the further you are away from a tower or signal, the slower the speed
[00:33] <mrwes> Ryan__, then of course there is subversion :)
[00:33] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: yes think Winzip file in Windows
[00:33] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: I assume you know what that is
[00:33] <CaptainTrek> ataufik: i've NEVER gotten the super fast speeds that my mobile broadband advertises
[00:33] <DasEi> Castarmax: what is your support-question ?
[00:33] <KingSeta> Anybody knows what to do when opera plays flash sound but shows nothing than white?
[00:33] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U thanks for the info ill check out that custom file. I just ran update-grub and it detected all the correct partitions/OSs (the grub.cfg should be essentially default now). But its detecting my OLD vmlinuz kernel..
[00:33] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: in Windows  those kind of files are just used for archeving data and that's that,  in  Linux distros they can be used for that, but also for programs
[00:33] <ataufik> CaptainTrek: I am using the modem in my home. But if I use it under windows, I get better throughput
[00:33] <CaptainTrek> ataufik: but thats because the speed advertised is in optimum conditions.  in reality, its NEVER in optimal conditions you're using it
[00:34] <khafra> jrib: Freaky. "users-admin" has an actual check-box for "allowed to use audio devices" and mine was unchecked by default.  WTF was Shuttleworth thinking?
[00:34] <CaptainTrek> ataufik: i dont know why then, and unfortunately, it might just be the difference between Windows and Linux.
[00:34] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: so you extract the archeive file. so for example .tar.gz into a folder.  and then using the command line,  cd into the folder, and then install using the commands to install
[00:34] <CaptainTrek> ataufik: you might wait around to ask someone else though if ya want
[00:34] <Castarmax> im having random i/o errors on known good drive after upgrade to 10.04   syslog is posted here http://paste.ubuntu.com/431914/  full logs posted here http://paste.ubuntu.com/431914/
[00:34] <Jordan_U> DCGstudios: Did you follow the same naming convention with your custom kernel as is used with your detected kernel?
[00:34] <ataufik> I think I was use serial.cs in 8.10 or older version... and yes it can speed up the modem to max speed
[00:35] <zanzibar1982> ...how do i remove flashplayer? sudo apt-get remove flashplayer is not enough...
[00:35] <Raptors> Hey guys
[00:35] <DasEi> Castarmax: ext - filesys ?
[00:35] <jrib> khafra: I think this just corresponds to audio-group membership.  This seems to get handled by policy kit/ device kit now (I don't understand much about either of these atm).  I can check on my laptop where I still use gdm and haven't added my user to the audio group if we are still stuck
[00:35] <Raptors> Is there a way to get 2.1 audio setup in ubuntu?
[00:35] <sebsebseb> Ryan__: get the idea?
[00:35] <zanzibar1982> !flashplayer
[00:35] <Castarmax> sorry?
[00:35] <myrl> zanzibar1982 what browser do you use
[00:35] <Raptors> I looled in the setting and there isn't 2.1
[00:35] <ataufik> CaptainTrek: I think I was use serial.cs in 8.10 or older version... and yes it can speed up the modem to max speed
[00:35] <Raptors> its just 5.1 and 4.1
[00:35] <Jordan_U> zanzibar1982: sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer
[00:35] <zanzibar1982> I am trying to use firefox
[00:35] <sebsebseb> khafra: oh someone should do it I guess, you used the three letters like that, so watch the language :)
[00:35] <DasEi> Castarmax: which filesystem is on this drive
[00:35] <zanzibar1982> ok
[00:35] <Raptors> and turning muting the back speakers is screwing everything up
[00:36] <Castarmax> ext3
[00:36] <DasEi> !who | Castarmax
[00:36] <mrwes> heh like BFD?
[00:36] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U: Well its just called vmlinuz, and its detecting my "vmlinuz-old".. Would it be best to approach the menu item with the 40_custom file or in grub.cfg?
[00:36] <sam_> hello
[00:36] <CaptainTrek> ataufik: i try not to mess with my system files, so wait for a bit to get help from someone with that
[00:36] <myrl> is ext4 better than ext3?
[00:36] <DasEi>  Castarmax : so you should boot a live cd and do a filesystem check
[00:36] <kyubutsu> !best | myrl
[00:36] <sebsebseb> Ryan__:  still here?
[00:36] <ataufik> CaptainTrek: ok.. thanks. Perhaps you know who can help me with my issue?
[00:36] <myrl> ok....
[00:37] <Castarmax> DasEi:  i did  all was fine
[00:37] <Confuzed> one question not covered in manual can ubuntu play a blu ray disc?
[00:37] <CaptainTrek> ataufik: unfortunately, no, you'd have to wait around and ask someone about it specifically
[00:37] <Juanca>  I was using Aptana IDE based on Eclipse (I had both installed) and the first one was working ok until today, now it freezes and I can't do anything else in Ubuntu even though I still can move the mouse, and the music from internet continues playing... can't make the bars appear, the Aptana window blocks everything else
[00:37] <ataufik> CaptainTrek: ok. THanks
[00:37] <DasEi> myrl: ext4 has some advantages over 3, but minor still, also ext3 can be accessed from win, not so ext4
[00:37] <myrl> oh ok
[00:38] <myrl> thanks
[00:38] <DasEi> !ext4
[00:38] <matcouto> Hi y'all... Has anyone here used grdesktop? I'm connected to my office network through Aker security client, I'm able to ping some machines but I can't access my machine remotely...It's givin' me 'Connection refused' error message. any ideas?
[00:38] <Jordan_U> DCGstudios: If you name the kernel in the form "vmlinux-2.6.xx" and the initrd in the form "initrd.img-2.6.xx" then it should be properly detected (and properly ordered with higher version'd kernels first in the menu)
[00:38] <CaptainTrek> matcouto: firewall blocking?
[00:38] <Raptors> Is there a away to set up 2.1 audio on ubuntu?
[00:38] <Raptors> The only options I can see are 5.1 and 4.1
[00:39] <Raptors> can I edit a file or something and turn off back speakers?
[00:39] <Confuzed> 2.1 should work, it is just stereo with a sub right?
[00:39] <Raptors> can I edit a file or something and turn off back speakers output?
[00:39] <Raptors> Ya
[00:39] <Raptors> but there is no option for 2.1
[00:39] <kyubutsu> Raptors: you could just select stereo mode ..
[00:39] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U: So the best approach would to be simply rename the vmlinuz file / intrid file and run update-grub again?
[00:39] <Xerran> Should I install the restricted drivers for the "Mobility Radeon HD 4200" that come with 10.04 or use the open source drivers?
[00:39] <Jordan_U> DCGstudios: Yes
[00:39] <Raptors> but then the sub isn't being picked up
[00:40] <Castarmax> DasEi: this happened immediatly after the upgrade to 10.04    it may be related to Compiz/Nvidia/xserver/gdm those all created trouble after the upgrade
[00:40] <khafra> jrib: Well, thanks for the help; even if I don't quite understand the problem.  Hopefully those revised permissions will take effect next time I log in.
[00:40] <zanzibar1982> ok guys... I removed --purged firefox and flash-plugins... now how do I reinstall ffox without ubu to call it Namoroka???
[00:40] <Guest12637> Any help?  "Clock" has quit unexpectedly
[00:41] <Confuzed> mine only works with analog sound and there is no blu ray player so i miss seeing movies and optical sound
[00:41] <jrib> khafra: policy kit/device kit  not working right would explain your mounting issues too
[00:41] <Jordan_U> Raptors: Does setting "Fade" all the way to "Front" in System > Preferences > Sound achieve what you want?
[00:41] <Guest12637> My post on Ubuntu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1480594
[00:41] <Guest12637> "Clock" has quit unexpectedly
[00:41] <t3kn0z> How do I change channels?
[00:41] <Juanca> zanzibar1982: I think Namokoda is Firefox for linux witha different name
[00:41] <zanzibar1982> Juanca no it is not
[00:41] <Raptors> Fade?
[00:42] <Juanca> zanzibar1982: How do you know?
[00:42] <Raptors> I just want a front 2 channels and a sub channel
[00:42] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U: Awsome ill give it a shot, one more question.. when i look at the grub and grub2 packages its not even installed (grub-pc is).. So how can i enter the grub console? (to execute find stage commands)
[00:42] <zanzibar1982> ffox is freeware and opensource, check yourself on homepage
[00:43] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U: just got disconnected from crappy wifi
[00:43] <gh0st> infecting peoples computers i fix with my botnet, double win.
[00:43] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U: didnt see what you said if you answered
[00:43] <Kuato-AR> Hi i need help, i have problems getting things to work with a kworld plust tv analog lite pci TV tunner card in Lucid
[00:43] <jrib> !ot | gh0st
[00:43] <zanzibar1982> I updated something wrong, and now I get this namoroka on anyone of my ffox backup :(
[00:43] <zanzibar1982> y
[00:43] <omar> i downloaded a game called lugaru HD, how can i alt-tab out of it while playing?
[00:43] <Jordan_U> DCGstudios: Installing via the grub shell was never the way upstream grub recommended, and it is not possible to install via the grub shell in grub2. Just use grub-install.
[00:44] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U: yea but id like to use find /boot/grub/stage1
[00:44] <andymccurdy> So for some reason, Lucid isn't letting me persist the # of open files limit. I've tweaked the /etc/security/limits.conf file and rebooted and ulimit -a still shows the default, 1024. I've also tried setting it manually as root, which works as long as I'm root, but the setting is lost once I exit. This worked in Hardy. And help?
[00:44] <test34> omar, maybe you need to have another program open for alt-tab to work
[00:44] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U: so there is no way to access grub CLI?
[00:45] <omar> test34, i have a million things open including this xchat ;)
[00:45] <Jordan_U> DCGstudios: Why? (grub2 doesn't have a stage1 BTW, it has a boot.img and core.img)
[00:45] <Raptors> No one know how to get 2.1 working?
[00:45] <zanzibar1982> geeze...
[00:45] <Confuzed> i was lucky enough to figure out how to get any sound from ubuntu
[00:45] <Jordan_U> DCGstudios: There is via grub-emu, but whatever you are trying to do there is probably a better way to do it.
[00:46] <test34> omar, sorry don't know then
[00:47] <blackratdog> how doyou clean the file system to get rid of unneededstuff
[00:47] <bsmith093> how do i check the currently installed packages against their sources rather than their most recent debs, for updates?
[00:47] <xangua> !panels
[00:47] <Juanca> zanzibar1982: here it says namoroka is firefox 3.5 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Namoroka
[00:47] <Jordan_U> Raptors: "Fade" is like "Balance" but for front / back rather than right / left
[00:48] <Confuzed> ty all for the help, going to go boot ubuntu to see if i can get some stuff from software center
[00:48] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U: Okay, well i was just making sure the HD(0,5) was correct as my partitioning setup is fairly complicated
[00:48] <Jordan_U> Raptors: So I think that moving fade all the way to the front will effectively turn off the rear speakers.
[00:48] <Jordan_U> Raptors: But I don't have a 5.1 system to test that with.
[00:51] <Raptors> Jordan_U, its outputting everything really staticy if I do that.
[00:51] <Jordan_U> Raptors: Try asking in #pulseaudio
[00:51] <Raptors> alright
[00:51] <[manas]> ppl go to sleep
[00:52] <Castarmax> Jordan_U: is there an OSS room as well?
[00:53] <matcouto> CaptainTrek: you mean computer's or network's firewall? there's running ubuntu. The security ubuntu configuration does denie it as default?
[00:53] <Jordan_U> Castarmax: I don't know, but IMHO alsa > oss for almost all hardware and uses.
[00:53] <Juanca> I was using Aptana IDE based on Eclipse (I had both installed) and the first one was working ok until today, now it freezes and I can't do anything else in Ubuntu even though I still can move the mouse, and the music from internet continues playing... can't make the bars appear, the Aptana window blocks everything else
[00:53] <Castarmax> Unreal has no sound unless i use OSS
[00:54] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U: What would be the best way to see what kernel my vmlinuz is running? considering i have access to the partition from here but i cannot boot into it
[00:54] <john_d__> Is there any way to mount a drive by UUID without using fstab?
[00:55] <john_d__> Is there any way to mount a drive by UUID without using fstab?
[00:55] <Jordan_U> Castarmax: The real solution to that is to use aoss or padsp to run Unreal.
[00:55] <IdleOne> Juanca: I think you might have better results here http://www.aptana.com/support
[00:56] <jrib> john_d__: what do you want to accomplish?
[00:56] <Jordan_U> john_d__: Yes, use /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[00:56] <celeborn999> can anyone please help me understand why UFW isn't logging successful traffic to /var/log/messages when i have logging on full?
[00:56] <john_d__> Jordan, How do I mount with /dev/disk/by-uuid
[00:56] <Castarmax> Jordan_U: ill look into that  thanks
[00:56] <john_d__> tree /dev/disk/by-uuid | grep "s[a-z][b-z]1$"
[00:56] <john_d__> That is houw I am finding them
[00:56] <Jordan_U> john_d__: What are you trying to accomplish?
[00:56] <john_d__> Jrib,  I want to plug in 25 sd cards to 1 linux box mount them all, send files down, unmount, and repeat
[00:56] <bsteadman> john_d__, I believe blkid will report the uuid too
[00:56] <mkquist> john_d__: i believe you can just manually use the mount command and give it the switches it needs in the c/l
[00:57] <jrib> john_d__: don't they get mounted automatically in gnome?
[00:57] <mkquist> and bsteadmanis correct blkid does that too
[00:57] <john_d__> I am using console only
[00:57] <john_d__> im going to use an ncurses "gui"
[00:57] <Jordan_U> Castarmax: You're welcome.
[00:58] <john_d__> The thing is I need to batch format the drives, then send files down, then unmount them so we can take the 25 out and put another new 25 in
[00:58] <jrib> john_d__: don't see why you would use uuid, seems like just using /dev/sdX would be easier to script, but you can get at them anyway you would like through /dev/disk/by-* as others pointed out
[00:58] <CogitoErgoSam_> caleborn999 ufw has its own log at /var/log/ufw.log
[00:58] <john_d__> I dont understnad how to do that jrib
[00:58] <mdgeorge1> hello
[00:58] <john_d__> is it mount /dev/disk/by-*
[00:58] <john_d__> ?
[00:59] <Castarmax> Jordan_U: you know about random i/o errors on good drive after 10.04 upgrade?
[00:59] <mdgeorge1> I'm looking for an easy way to chop up a large audio file into a bunch of smaller ones.  Can anyone recommend something?
[00:59] <jrib> john_d__: why are you using cli if you aren't comfortable with it?
[00:59] <mdgeorge1> don't know if this is the right forum
[00:59]  * john_d__ sighs
[01:00] <celeborn999> CogitoErgoSam_: thanks, in that case it's not logging anything. i have logging on full, but when i log in with ssh and then check log files, there's no mention of the successful login
[01:00] <celeborn999> CogitoErgoSam_: any ideas?
[01:00] <john_d__> how do I mount with /dev/disk/by-*?
[01:00] <jrib> john_d__: the syntax for mount is: mount block_device mount_point.  What you said makes no sense.  Use a for loop
[01:00] <CogitoErgoSam_> caleborn999:  use grep to search for UFW logging?
[01:00] <Jordan_U> Castarmax: What type of drive? (internal hard drive, DVD, USB)
[01:00] <john_d__> Jrib... I dont know what you mean when you say "use /dev/disk/by-*"
[01:00] <celeborn999> CogitoErgoSam_: i've done that on a few logs, but in this case, ufw.log does not even exist. it's a new server and the logs are super short
[01:01] <jrib> john_d__: type ls /dev/disk/by-* in a shell
[01:01] <Castarmax> Jordan_U: internal HD but its good
[01:01] <bsmith093> how do i check the sources of all packages installed on my system and download compile and install the latest source if its newer than what i have?
[01:01] <john_d__> k
[01:01] <CogitoErgoSam_> caleborn999:  you can run grep recursively on the directory with grep -r "UFW" /var/log/*
[01:01] <linxeh> bsmith093: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade (assuming you installed from repos)
[01:01] <Jordan_U> bsmith093: Install gentoo :)
[01:01] <bastid_raZor> DasEi: my 2 year learns to type
[01:02] <john_d__> so now that I have all of those... what am I looking at jrib?
[01:02] <bsmith093> i tried gentoo actually. it was going perfectly right up until i rebooted and got a grub file not found error
[01:02] <jrib> john_d__: you are looking at symlinks pointing to your devices.  You asked about uuid's, well one of the directories is /dev/disk/by-uuid/.  Those are your devices listed by their uuid
[01:03] <john_d__> jrib:  I understand that, but how do I go about mounting them by say UUID or by ID?
[01:03] <jrib> john_d__: start by mounting one of them.  Do you know how to do that?
[01:03] <celeborn999> CogitoErgoSam_: grep didn't find any record of successful logins
[01:03] <john_d__> jrib:  Not by ID or UUID
[01:04] <Purpley> a package i have is asking for libosgParticle.so.61 except in synaptic manager there is no package with such name
[01:04] <john_d__> jrib: under /dev/disk/by-id:     I have usb-USB_2.0_SD_MMC_Reader_834340170017-0:0-part1
[01:04] <jrib> john_d__: use « mount /dev/disk/by-uuid/blahblahuuidhereblahblah mount_point ».  Why do you want to do it by uuid anyway?
[01:05] <Jordan_U> bsmith093: Trying to make Ubuntu into something it's not, a rolling source based distro, is futile.
[01:05] <john_d__> jrib: IDK, just seemed to be easier to grep :D
[01:05] <john_d__> ty i willg ive it ago
[01:05] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U: Where does grub search for the initrd and vmlinuz? is it just in '/' ?
[01:05] <bsmith093> ok then
[01:05] <jrib> john_d__: I would imagine just using /dev/sdX would be easier since the last 25 would correspond to what you wanted to mount
[01:05] <Purpley> a package i have is asking for libosgParticle.so.61 except in synaptic manager there is no package with such name
[01:05] <Purpley> What do i install?
[01:06] <john_d__> jrib:  hmm..  What happens if I have an SDA1..  All the new usb drives iwll be SDB,SDC and so on.  If I have 25, or 50 for that matter, do they just go to SDA2, SDB2?
[01:06] <acerimmer> Purpley: what package r u trying to get??
[01:06] <jrib> john_d__: not to mention I am curious as to what happens with more than 26 devices :)
[01:06] <celeborn999> CogitoErgoSam_: ufw status verbose reports that the firewall is active, logging is on (full), and the ssh rule i'm testing is set to log
[01:06] <john_d__> jrib: me too
[01:07] <Purpley> acerimmer,  libosgParticle.so.61
[01:07] <bastid_raZor> !find libosgParticle.so
[01:07] <jrib> john_d__: do it!  sda2 would be confusing since that's for a partion on sda.  I imagine it starts doing sdaa
[01:07] <DCGstudios> Where does grub search for the initrd and vmlinuz? is it just in '/' ?
[01:07] <john_d__> jrib:  yah thats what im thinking too
[01:07] <Purpley> bastid_raZor, So would i have to create a symlink?
[01:07] <john_d__> jrib:  now that you mention it, SDX is the easiest way to go
[01:07] <john_d__> jrib: well I will have to plug in 30 usb drives and test it :LD
[01:07] <Jordan_U> DCGstudios: It searches wherever is specified in the grub.cfg. Note though that grub does not have mount points, so all paths are relative to the filesystem root. If you have a separate /boot partition then the kernels are seen as being at (hdx,y)/ by grub
[01:08] <john_d__> Doe anyone know what happens if I have more than 25 drives plugged in?  Does it go from say SDZ to SDAA ?
[01:08] <jrib> john_d__: yeah, just make sure you keep in mind which ones aren't usb drives so you don't nuke the wrong thing
[01:08] <urthmover> for some reason ever since I installed lottanzb/hellanzb  I do know it is that particular app that has stopped my ability to use cpu scaling applet or cpufreq-selector from CLI.  How do I go about resolving this problem?
[01:08] <bastid_raZor> Purpley: i don't rightly know. someone else might.
[01:08] <john_d__> jrib: that is why I went with the UUID idea first ;)
[01:08] <Jordan_U> DCGstudios: You can find the path relative to the filesystem root with "grub-mkrelpath /path/to/file"
[01:08] <CogitoErgoSam_> celeborn99:  nothing in kern.log?  Try grep -i "UFW" on /var/log/kern.log
[01:08] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U: cool thanks jordan
[01:09] <Jordan_U> DCGstudios: You're welcome.
[01:09] <jrib> john_d__: right, but the uuid for sda1 is harder to recognize than just "sda1"
[01:09] <venik212> my sounds in gnome are gone... ;-(
[01:09] <celeborn999> CogitoErgoSam_: this is a brand new server, kern.log has only one (unrelated) messages in it
[01:09] <venik212> anyone knows how to restore them?
[01:09] <ugliefrog> isnt them empathy mail icon supposed to change colors letting you know if you have mail
[01:09] <ugliefrog> mine doesnt work
[01:10] <jrib> john_d__: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-8.0-Manual/admin-primer/ch-storage.html says "sdaa"
[01:10] <john_d__> NICE!
[01:10] <john_d__> jrib: THANKS!  that mount syntax you showed me worked!!!
[01:10] <john_d__> jrib: you solved my problem.  thank you
[01:10] <jrib> john_d__: now use a for loop to do all 25
[01:11] <Purpley> zac@zac-desktop:~$ ln -s libopenscenegraph-dev libosgParticle.so.61
[01:11] <Purpley> that wont work either
[01:11] <celeborn999> CogitoErgoSam_: i've reloaded the firewall (ufw reload), just to see if it helped. it didn't
[01:11] <Purpley> Where do I get libosgParticle.so.61
[01:11] <Jordan_U> john_d__: You may want to use /dev/disk/by-id/ , which lets you access drives by hardware ID. If you use /dev/disk/by-id/ you can limit the drives mounted to those whose ID starts with "usb-USB_2.0_SD_MMC_Reader"
[01:12] <john_d__> Jordan_U :  that is exactly what I plan on doing
[01:12] <dpratt71> Is there a way to see the entire IRC channel topic in Empathy?
[01:12] <john_d__> Jordan_U :  I am using /dev/disk/by-id/  but the problem is some of them say "-part1" at the end
[01:13] <john_d__> Jordan_U :  Which denotes that they are "SDB1" instead of "SDB" or whatever
[01:13] <Jordan_U> john_d__: Why is that a problem?
[01:13] <acerimmer> !#empathy|dpratt71
[01:13] <john_d__> Jordan_U :  well can I do the command "mount /dev/sdb/ /media/test"
[01:13] <venik212> How do I tell gnome to use OGG sounds?
[01:14] <CogitoErgoSam_> celeborn999:  Not sure what else to recommend; I'm not all that experienced with the netsec side of things
[01:14] <john_d__> Jordan_U:  I plan on grepping it to say "s[a-z][b-z]1$"
[01:14] <Purpley> Where do I get libosgParticle.so.61
[01:14] <celeborn999> CogitoErgoSam_: that's okay, thanks for trying. this is really just a feel-good to make sure the firewall is working
[01:15] <jordan_> Hey guys, I'm having trouble sharing an external hard drive with Ubuntu to my windows computer, I can see it on Network places but it says access denied please contact server admin, but when I go to my external in Ubuntu and I put the permisions to read and write as soon as I exit the properties panel it reverts back to not being able to read and write any ideas?   Sorry this is alot
[01:16] <Jordan_U> john_d__: You are doing things very inneficiently. I recommend reading http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls and searching through http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ when you have a problem.
[01:16] <john_d__> Thanks!
[01:16] <Jordan_U> john_d__: You're welcome.
[01:16] <DasEi>   jordan_: these are to pairs of shoes, win won't care about linux-permissions and vice versa, but the sys you mount it first to sets sharing permissions
[01:17] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U: I just gave your ideas a try and im still getting the error which i wrote down. Kernel Panic - not syncing : VFS : Unable to mount root fs on unknown block(0,0)
[01:18] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U: the system im trying to boot is located on /dev/sda5   hd(0,5)
[01:18] <Jordan_U> DCGstudios: Could you pastebin your grub.cfg?
[01:18] <jordan_> DasEi: When I use the built in Shared Folders program in Xubuntu I can choose what files to share  with my windows and I can also change the read and write with the Ubuntu permissions but i just don't understand why ever other folder will share but my External Hard drive will not
[01:19] <Purpley> Where do I get libosgParticle.so.61
[01:19] <dassouki> on 10.04 i can't seem to get my syntek camera up and running
[01:19] <DasEi> jordan_: you attached the external to the xubuntu.box..
[01:20] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U: yea sure...  http://pastebin.com/vnGrEy14
[01:20] <DasEi> jordan_: the mount-folder has other then root permissions..
[01:20] <frankS2> bah, anyone know what the google-desktop binary is called?
[01:20] <DasEi> jordan_: you set this folder to be shared.. there you go then
[01:20] <BlubbTec> hey, i'm in lucid, and my harddisk-check at startup is currently running, but pressing C doesn't cancel it
[01:20] <BlubbTec> is there any way to fix it?
[01:20] <bedwyr> Loshki: it vorkt!
[01:20] <Jordan_U> DCGstudios: It's missing the initrd, what did you name the initrd?
[01:21] <DasEi> BlubbTec: shouldn't do it
[01:21] <jordan_> DasEi: I DO DO that but when I exit the permissions panel everything reverts back to None instead of Read and Write
[01:21] <BlubbTec> yeah sure but
[01:21] <Typos_King> franks2:    try using autocomplete -> goo<tab>
[01:21] <BlubbTec> its already taken 30min from 73% to 91%
[01:21] <BlubbTec> for hard disk 1
[01:21] <DasEi> BlubbTec: but want to risk a break ? esc or ctrl-c
[01:21] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U: right now its just initrd.img i put the name back
[01:21] <BlubbTec> and all in all i got about  1000gb
[01:21] <Jordan_U> BlubbTec: Try escape FIRST
[01:21] <BlubbTec> ah
[01:21] <urthmover> Does anyone here know how to troubleshoot cpufreq-selector problems?
[01:21] <BlubbTec> it just finished
[01:21] <BlubbTec> at 91%
[01:22] <BlubbTec> lol
[01:22] <FloodBot3> BlubbTec: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:22] <magn3ts> I'm having three very serious problems after upgrading and I'd love any input: I have a 5,1 Apple Macbook Pro. Before the upgrade these things were not issues: One, My accelerated nvidia driver works exactly every other time I boot my computer. Every other time it tells me it has to work in failsafe mode. Second, when I wake up from sleep/hibernate, my laptop is unable to release its IP Address from my router. Three, Flash performane is te
[01:22] <magn3ts> rrible.  I'm not so worried about the third problem because its probably a result of adobe having their thumb up their bums, but the other problems are rather serious.
[01:22] <DasEi> jordan_: did you own the mountfolder correctly ?
[01:23] <mokabojoe> hhhhjkjdsacklaklkjlfigluhq3riekaov8;agv8;8iogi3;lq9hiqr9ahirvfio99999
[01:23] <mokabojoe> 99999
[01:23] <alket> which is the best Torrent client ?
[01:23] <Jordan_U> DasEi: BlubbTec: Pressing escape will cancel a routine filesystem check, which is safe. ctrl+c will stop a routine filsystem check and will also stop filesystem *repair* which is not safe.
[01:23] <DasEi> !pm | jordan_
[01:23] <raul_> I got a file .doc and then I saved in .odt. After that, I changed it (I wrote other things on it) and I tried to save as .doc, but openoffice showed a message that the file had crashed... how can I sabe my .odt file in .doc ???
[01:24] <mcl0vin_> i have a question, i am in the hospital, why i can't connect to their wifi? i see it, its not secure?!
[01:24] <hawkrives> @alket I prefer Transmission, but KTorrent is good as well. It pretty much comes down to which interface you like better.
[01:24] <jordan_> DasEi: what do you mean by Own? Sorry I'm relatively new to Ubunto
[01:24] <jordan_> Ubuntu*
[01:24] <DasEi> jordan_: are the regular usernames same on xubuntu and win ?
[01:24] <acerimmer> Lucid Review on Digg: http://arstechnica.com/open-source/reviews/2010/05/lucid-dream-ars-reviews-ubuntu-1004.ars
[01:25] <bedwyr> Mcl0vin they may have MAC address filtering? is it wifi for the patients?
[01:25] <jordan_> DasEi: Yes
[01:25] <Jordan_U> !offtopic | acerimmer
[01:25] <alket> hawkrives: I don't want to be rude but I don't like KDE at all, maybe I should just stick with Transmission
[01:25] <DasEi> jordan_: you set access to folders by chmod / chown amongst others
[01:25] <DCGstudios> Jordan_U: So should i just go ahead and append the initrd line into my grub.cfg?
[01:25] <DasEi> alket: take a look at vuze
[01:25] <mcl0vin_> i have a question, i am in the hospital, why i can't connect to their wifi? i see it, its not secure?!
[01:26] <hawkrives> @alket That is what I am using now. Unless you dont like Transmission, in which case there are probably 4-5 other GNOME torrent apps int the Sofware Center.
[01:26] <Jordan_U> DCGstudios: Name your initrd in the same form as your kernel image, initrd.img-2.6.xx
[01:26] <bedwyr> mcl0vin_: is it a wifi for the patients? if not it is most likely secured and may have mac address filtering
[01:27] <hawkrives> mcl0vin_: try opening a web browser first.
[01:27] <mcl0vin_> bedwyr: the SSID says its for vistors
[01:27] <coz_> hey guys... has the wallpaper rendering been fixed ?
[01:28] <coz_> dual monitor wallpaper rendering rather
[01:28] <bedwyr> mcl0vin_: and it doesn't assign you an IP?
[01:28] <mcl0vin_> bedwyr: no
[01:29] <bedwyr> mcl0vin_: have you asked if you need a key to access it? the way you've made your sentence it sounded like you'Re asking if it is secured. at least the way i parsed it
[01:30] <LinuxPhreak> qaissi: be more specific. Is it private server that only certain groups of people can access? If so what you are talking about is illeagal
[01:30] <mcl0vin_> hawkrives: it was open from old session
[01:30] <mcl0vin_> i am using my phone now to chat with you folks
[01:30] <LinuxPhreak> sorry that was response to something few hours ago. Forgot to scroll down
[01:31] <mcl0vin_> bedwyr: sorry , now it is not secure , because i don't see the lock on it! i can see their AP "cisco"
[01:31] <mcl0vin_> so mac filtering is possible
[01:31] <mcl0vin_> i will log out then reboot and then re try!
[01:32] <bedwyr> mcl0vin_: yeah, but odd for visitor connection... unless they have some way to make it happen without restarting router
[01:32] <mcl0vin_> bedwyr: make what happen?
[01:32] <bedwyr> then again i never used mac filtering, i wouldn't know if it does need to be rebooted >.>
[01:33] <bedwyr> the filtering
[01:33] <bedwyr> all beautiful theory that i never applied :(
[01:33] <mcl0vin_> bedwyr: in Cisco, no you don't need to reboot the switch or router
[01:34] <bedwyr> mcl0vin_: ah, I see
[01:35] <Siegfried> hi anyone with good results running flash with qemu on ppc?
[01:35]  * mcl0vin_ logging off
[01:36] <LinuxPhreak> Siegfried: what os is on the qemu image, what version of flash are you interested in
[01:37] <Siegfried> LinuxPhreak, i didn't try at all, there's nothing about it on the ubuntu site or anything, the only place i found things is on the opensuse site..
[01:37] <ausylo> hey guys/gals
[01:37] <Siegfried> i want to run any flash version, 9 would be ok too but it's not in apt
[01:37] <LinuxPhreak> Siegfried: well you can put any thing on Qemu
[01:37] <ausylo> is there any way to load and keep drivers on a live usb ubuntu?
[01:38] <WoRm> question? i have ubuntu in my pc, but i would like to find the sound driver and video driver of this motherboard PC Chip M909G, some can help with that!! i only found the NIC Driver....
[01:38] <red> My system just thre me out of my session back to login screen totally on random -- with no notification. I had multiple work related things open, and they were fortunately unharmed.
[01:38] <LinuxPhreak> ausylo: yes but drivers wont work on other computers because they specific to certain hardware
[01:38] <red> How can I find out any log or anything about why it did so?
[01:38] <HowardTheDuck> hey
[01:38] <hawkrives> Ausylo, maybe by the reserved extra space option.
[01:38] <Siegfried> LinuxPhreak, but there's no tutorial on how to do it with flash, it's not so easy :(
[01:38] <Siegfried> opensuse has this http://en.opensuse.org/PowerPC_Flash_Player
[01:39] <ausylo> alright awesome, im trying to change my resolution but the video drivers do not save
[01:39] <ausylo> thats fine, how do i do that by chance?
[01:39] <HowardTheDuck> Would anyone mind helping me install 10.04 amd64?  Strangely, I got an unrecoverable error when I booted of the disk.  The Ubuntu site said if that happens, to load Ubuntu w/o installing, then install from there, but I tried that and all my partition options are greyed out, so I cannot proceed.  Is this a common problem?
[01:39] <ausylo> forgive me as i am new to linux but liking it
[01:40] <rahduke> if i install OpenGEU from http://opengeuwiki-en.intilinux.com/index.php?title=How_to_install_Opengeu_9.10_from_packages that link
[01:40] <LinuxPhreak> Siegfried: Install OS of choice on Qemu. You will want to add NAT or something so you and openssh. When you get internet and sharing between your computer transfer flash over
[01:40] <rahduke> and i dont like it, is it easy to go back?
[01:40] <acerimmer> !md5sum|Howardtheduck
[01:40] <hawkrives> Ausylo, It would be in System>Administarion>Startup Disk Creator, then hope that the Store in Reserved Extra Space option isnt greyed out.
[01:40] <acerimmer> HowardTheDuck: check your download of the iso and the burned disk
[01:40] <LinuxPhreak> Siegfried: qemu's site is great resource. I don't have virtualizion so I can't use KVM and I run very slow
[01:40] <Zelozelos> i need help deciding which way is better. i can get an internal hd (250gb is the biggest my sys will take) OR i can get an external 1tb drive for around the same price and boot ubuntu from the external and win from the internal i already have---which is the better choice?
[01:41] <Siegfried> ok thanks i'll check their site
[01:41] <Siegfried> it's a shame not even flash 9 is included, it was in older versions
[01:41] <hawkrives> HowardTheDuck Your problem sounds like you are already booted into the cd, am I right?
[01:41] <acerimmer> Zelozelos: well ubuntu takes up a lot less space than windows
[01:41] <HowardTheDuck> hawkrives:  yes
[01:42] <HowardTheDuck> I'm running off a live session now
[01:42] <LVMn00b> hi guys. is anyone able to assist me with a RAID-1/mirror configuration, please?
[01:42] <HowardTheDuck> I have 10.04 x86 on my other box and lappy, flawless.    ALL partition table options are greyed.
[01:42] <HowardTheDuck> I have Win7 on here already.  Always best to install Windows before Ubuntu
[01:43] <urthmover> Does anyone have any experience using cpufreq?  when I run sudo cpufreq-selector -f 26670000.  It does not alter the current GHz in cpufreq-info
[01:43] <hawkrives> HowardTheDuck I was going to try GParted,under System>Admin and wipe the drive with a new partition table.
[01:43] <acerimmer> HowardTheDuck: can you resize your prtn??
[01:43] <Zelozelos> acerimmer, well not exactly my q, which would be the best choice-and external 1tb or internal 250 (which is 130 bigger then the one i have?
[01:44] <LVMn00b> urthmover: you might be dealing with a typo. rather use the presets
[01:44] <hawkrives> HowardTheDuck Ahh. Then lets try GParted and see what happens. You will need to exit the installer first.
[01:44] <HowardTheDuck> acerimmer: Yeah I guess I could.   I have a Gparted cd around here somewhere
[01:44] <urthmover>  abou
[01:44] <ausylo> nope i cant do it
[01:44] <ausylo> damn
[01:44] <acerimmer> Zelozelos: ok.  IMHO, larger drives are generally a good thing.  external drive install may be more trouble than they're worth, but should be consdiered for backup.  IMHO
[01:44] <HowardTheDuck> I'd rather keep Win 7 though, actually I have to.  This is an adobe workstation heh
[01:44] <hawkrives> HowardTheDuck Gparted is on the Ubuntu Live CD, under System>Administration
[01:45] <hawkrives> If it will let you change, the we can just resize.
[01:45] <HowardTheDuck> ok cool
[01:45] <HowardTheDuck> loading it now
[01:45] <Zelozelos> acerimmer, true, i forgot about the external install issues, and i already do have an external hd for backup...
[01:45] <ausylo> i just wanna raise the resolution on a live usb
[01:45] <ausylo> but i cant
[01:45] <acerimmer> HowardTheDuck: you're doing adobe, so i just KNOW you've got a reliable backup system in place.
[01:46] <hawkrives> ausylo Well, the Restricted Drives tool ought to run on a live USb too..
[01:46] <rahduke> anyone? does anyone know if installing enlightenment will make it difficult to return back to GDM??
[01:46] <hawkrives> acerimmer Yeah, but he doesnt want to reinstall adobe.
[01:46] <HowardTheDuck> acerimmer: Yeah but I'd rather not have to re-install 7.  I'd rather not have to do anythign with 7 my gf will be using that lol
[01:46] <ausylo> where is that?
[01:46] <urthmover> LVMn00b: I'm trying 'sudo cpufreq-selector -g performance'  now
[01:46] <xenon401> I never enjoyed 7.
[01:46] <HowardTheDuck> Gparted says no devices detectable
[01:46] <HowardTheDuck> It's not reading the hard drive
[01:46] <hawkrives> ausylo System>Administration>Hardware Drivers
[01:47] <hawkrives> HowardTheDuck Not good. Can Seven still boot?
[01:47] <acerimmer> HowardTheDuck: understood.  depending on the load, win 7 and ubuntu can reside on  a 130gb disk,
[01:47] <urthmover> HowardTheDuck: you can look at dmesg to see if the hard drive was detected on bootup or plugged in
[01:47] <HowardTheDuck> 7 boots fine.
[01:47] <HowardTheDuck> dmeg?
[01:48] <K_Dallas> Q: the only way I have been able to playbacl high def videos (mkv, ...) on my Windows has been through qplayer which is a Chinese player. No other players does it smoothly for those files. I have tried 2 of the players I knew under Linux (default, vlc) and they are both sluggish for those formats.  Is there a way to play them well in Ubuntu or I have to wait for my next laptop? Thanks
[01:48] <HowardTheDuck> I wouldn't think Ubuntu would have a problem reading a WD Caviar
[01:48] <urthmover> in a terminal type   dmesg   HowardTheDuck
[01:48] <HowardTheDuck> ok
[01:48] <Lock> Hello everyone
[01:48] <bastid_raZor> K_Dallas: mplayer  possibly
[01:48] <Zelozelos> just to make sure i understand---if i was to install ubuntu on a flash 1. it will run slower 2 it cannot be updated 3 a few other progs will not run correctly ??
[01:48] <urthmover> the output will be long  but look in there for sda  or whatever your hard disk is assigned
[01:49] <HowardTheDuck> yowsa taht's a lot of stuff.  what am I looking for exactly?
[01:49] <Lock> do any of you seasoned ubuntu users have time for a quick question?
[01:49] <K_Dallas> bastid_raZor, I used it a year ago and it was terribly slow, contrary to what I expected but I give it a try again, thanks
[01:49] <hawkrives> Zelozelos Are we talking about a USB key or a SSD?
[01:49] <xenon401> Lock: sure
[01:49] <acerimmer> Zelozelos: 1 is true, 2 is false, 3 is maybe
[01:49] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[01:49] <Zelozelos> hawkrives, umm idk--which ever is the best case scenario
[01:49] <Lock> I recently salvaged an older computer and installed ubuntu on it...I was using the computer for my schoolwork and then all of a sudden this afternoon the motherboard died on me
[01:50] <mickster04> Lock: gutted for u
[01:50] <ActionParsnip> Lock: niiiice :(
[01:50] <acerimmer> Lock: ouch.
[01:50] <hawkrives> Zelozelos Probobly a USB key then. I agree with acerimmer on this.
[01:50] <mickster04> Lock: do u have a question?
[01:50] <bastid_raZor> K_Dallas: it sounds as if your laptop is lacking in hardware.. mplayer on this box plays mkv's better than anything else
[01:50] <urthmover> LVMn00b: no luck 'sudo cpufreq-info'  is still showing  "current CPU frequency is 800 MHz (asserted by call to hardware)."
[01:50] <xenon401> Lock: If the motherboard died I do not think you can retrieve any of the info. Try taking out your HDD?
[01:50] <Lock> well, i took the harddrive out and put it in another semi-newer system and booted from it, but it had trouble with the graphics because of nvidia, and well, this was probably my mistake but i uninstalled the nvidia drivers and now im stuck with only the shell prompt
[01:50] <Zelozelos> lock u sure its the mother board? did you check the power supply?
[01:51] <HowardTheDuck> man this stinks.  I guess it's 9.10 for me
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> Lock: what release are  you using?
[01:51] <xenon401> Reinstall GNOME
[01:51] <gogeta> xenon401: shure you can pull the hdd
[01:51] <LVMn00b> urthmover: sorry; I'm not much use then
[01:51] <Lock> 10.04 i think
[01:51] <mickster04> HowardTheDuck: have fun'
[01:51] <Lock> its not the newest one, but the version right before it
[01:51] <urthmover> HowardTheDuck: ok backup  I just got here ... I might be able to help
[01:51] <xenon401> gogeta: I meant remove it safely from its connections.
[01:51] <HowardTheDuck> urthmover: yeah?
[01:51] <gogeta> xenon401: lol yea
[01:51] <acerimmer> Lock: if it's mobo or power supply fail, your data should still be safe.
[01:51] <urthmover> HowardTheDuck: describe the current problem again...I saw mention of dual booting
[01:51] <HowardTheDuck> I was about to try to load the installer for my 32 bit version, see if that reads my hd
[01:51] <ActionParsnip> Lock: 9.10 then. If you can then remove the xorg.conf file if you have one and remove the nvidia driver packages in a root recovery console
[01:52] <Lock> im sure that it is, but now im stuck at the shell prompt, and I am relatively new to linux so the shell is like chinese to me
[01:52] <xenon401> Lock: --help
[01:52] <HowardTheDuck> urthmover: trying to install 10.04 x64, won't read my hard disk apparently.  partition manager in the live install and gparted grey out all my options
[01:52] <HowardTheDuck> currently have Windows 7 on this box
[01:52] <Lock> basically im curious if there is a way that i can restore any kind of graphics driver so that I can access the GUI desktop
[01:52] <gogeta> Lock: yea the pc is dead not the hdd putting it inside another pc or even usbing a ide to usb cable to move the data to a neew amchine
[01:52] <urthmover> HowardTheDuck: hmm
[01:52] <Lock> --help
[01:52] <Lock> ?
[01:53] <xenon401> It will display useful options.
[01:53] <Xcell> in the shell propmp lock
[01:53] <hawkrives> lock in a terminal
[01:53] <urthmover> HowardTheDuck: so when you boot a live cd  gparted   and  I guess fdisk -l  do not show your hard drive as being recognized at all?
[01:53] <Lock> oh ok
[01:53] <HowardTheDuck> let me see fdisk -l
[01:53] <HowardTheDuck> didn't thnk of that
[01:53] <LinuxPhreak> Is it WinFF that was the program that allows you to convert ogv to other formats
[01:53] <acerimmer> lock: if you can get the hdd to  another drive, you'll want to save the /home directory and all sub and hidden files/folders
[01:53] <xenon401> Tell me if that helps at all.
[01:53] <ChogyDan> Lock: cd /etc/X11 && sudo mv xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup
[01:53] <HowardTheDuck> fdisk -l did nothing.  or at least displayed nothing
[01:54] <urthmover> HowardTheDuck: sudo fdisk -l
[01:54] <HowardTheDuck> same
[01:54] <xenon401> sudo gives you root privages.
[01:54] <urthmover> HowardTheDuck: you are booted up on the 10.04 amd64  live CD right?
[01:54] <HowardTheDuck> yeah.
[01:54] <HowardTheDuck> urthmover:  yes sir!
[01:54] <HowardTheDuck> :)
[01:55] <urthmover> HowardTheDuck: try this   in a terminal ...   dmesg | grep sda
[01:55] <Xcell> is there a way to make the dns lookup faster in firefox  ?
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> LinuxPhreak: its a gui to mencoder etc so yes, there are guides online on how to convert in a command
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> Xcell: use dnsmasq
[01:55] <federico_78> hi all. when I start ubuntu i don't see the plymouth boot screen, just a blinking cursor. any pointers on what log should I check or config file should I edit?
[01:55] <Xcell> k tx
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> Xcell: will make all dns faster
[01:55] <Xcell> is that an addon  ?
[01:55] <urthmover> HowardTheDuck: is there any output?
[01:56] <red> another night and another troublesome reboot
[01:56] <red> again my compiz is chewing around 15-30fps
[01:56] <HowardTheDuck> no output :(
[01:56] <EvilC> hi
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> Xcell: you will need to manually set your dns in network manager, set ipv4 to dhcp address only then set the dns to <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:56] <red> intead of the expected 150-300
[01:56] <LinuxPhreak> okay cool
[01:56] <Xcell> ah, ic thanks
[01:56] <red> usually compiz --replace --loose-binding helps but not again pfft..
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> Xcell: no, its an ubuntu package. you will be running a local dns service
[01:56] <Xcell> gotchya
[01:56] <urthmover> HowardTheDuck: try   dmesg | grep sd
[01:56] <HowardTheDuck> it's just not reading my hard drive.  I really doubt a WD Caviar 500gb isn't supported, I'm going to burn another iso
[01:56] <Xcell> thanks action
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> Xcell: firefox needs all the speed it can get
[01:57] <Xcell> ya, really
[01:57] <xenon401> I had a problem the other day. I got a message when starting my Dell Studio 15 saying: no module found...XE-M01 and PXE:E61
[01:57] <urthmover> HowardTheDuck: we are trying to see if the hard drive is identified during boot up
[01:57] <aberhow> so! can 10.04 handle a /boot partition as ext4 w/o any screwing around?
[01:57] <Lock> xenon401: is there a way to revert back to the system state before i uninstalled the graphics drivers?
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> Xcell: consider chromium or arora, much faster
[01:57] <HowardTheDuck> urthmover:  nope no output on grep sd either
[01:57] <xenon401> I could not get to the GRUB loader so i put in a live cd and reinstalled 10.04
[01:57] <hawkrives> HowardTheDuck Try rebooting off this one first.
[01:57] <mickster04> aberhow: yeah?
[01:57] <nilg> how to know from which repository a package comes from?
[01:57] <gogeta> aberhow: dont see why not
[01:57] <xenon401> DId that fix the problem?
[01:57] <Xcell> but i use noscript and addblock
[01:57] <Purpley> !find libfltk_gl.so
[01:57] <HowardTheDuck> hawkrives: well its strange, I cannot boot to the installer, gives an unrecoverable error.  So Ubuntu.com says if that happens, install from a live session
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> nilg: apt-cache policy package
[01:57] <aberhow> i hear grub had to have a patch for 9.10
[01:57] <EvilC> Anybody knows if there are any soft to split big archives on few parts ?
[01:57] <HowardTheDuck> then I get to the partition manager not reading the disk
[01:58] <gogeta> Xcell: dont we all
[01:58] <Purpley> Hmm how do I use ubottus find feature?
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: i dont
[01:58] <Xcell> and ghosty
[01:58] <MikeChelen> find something.txt
[01:58] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: fail adblock flashblock = no annoying ads
[01:58] <nilg> thx mch ActionParsnip
[01:58] <hawkrives> HowardTheDuck In that case, yeah. You should probably burn another ISO.
[01:58] <HowardTheDuck> Funny thing is, this live session I'm running now is still faster than what I"m used to.  *hugs his new box
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: i dont mind them at all, so not annoying
[01:58] <EvilC> do any ?
[01:58] <hawkrives> HowardTheDuck wow.
[01:58] <urthmover> HowardTheDuck: I reccomend going line by line through 'dmesg'  and looking for the hard drive identification
[01:59] <bastid_raZor> ActionParsnip: setting ones dns to the local isp's dns works just as well ?
[01:59] <LVMn00b> hi guys. is anyone able to assist me with a RAID-1/mirror configuration, please?
[01:59] <gogeta> he left
[01:59] <bastid_raZor> i see that..
[01:59] <xenon401> Open DNS is very quick and safe if your looking to improve speed on the internet.
[01:59] <justin22885> im looking for a program to write a usb .img file, any suggestions?
[01:59] <HowardTheDuck> Before I burn a new Iso, I'm booting into the 32 bit version I know works.  Then I'll see if it sees my hd.
[01:59] <Purpley> !find libosgFX.so
[02:00] <HowardTheDuck> brb and thanks a lot for the help guys!
[02:00] <mickster04> !img
[02:00] <mdg2> justin22885: unetbootin
[02:00] <HowardTheDuck> sudo reboot
[02:00] <HowardTheDuck> er sorry
[02:00] <LVMn00b> justin22885: unetbootin
[02:00] <pburt> in xchat, add to favorties does not work in ubuntu
[02:00] <LVMn00b> justin22885: or usb-creator (i think)
[02:00] <mdg2> justin22885: unetbootin is easier
[02:00] <LVMn00b> justin22885: or even simply dd
[02:00] <alket> The fish in gnome panel that used to tell quotes doesn't work for me in 10.04
[02:00] <alket> ?
[02:01] <mkquist> alket: NOT THE FISH!!!
[02:01] <justin22885> is dd installed by default?
[02:01] <rfm> I have a new external usb hard drive which I have partitioned, formatted a couple of the partitions for use with ubuntu.  I can mount the partitions where I want just fine with mount, but if I wanted to set things up so the partitions are mounted in the right place automatically when I plug in the disk, what man pages/docs should I be reading?
[02:01] <xenon401> I hate the fish!!
[02:01] <pburt> alket, because fortune is not installed
[02:01] <mickster04> !fish
[02:01] <pburt> alket, sudo apt-get install fortune
[02:01] <mickster04> i should prolly stop doing that
[02:01] <gogeta> justin22885: dd is part of the base commands so yes
[02:01] <Purpley> Hey when I run "fgrun" I get Segmentation fault. How do I fix it
[02:01] <gogeta> lol
[02:01] <alket> pburt: thank you, how come the ubuntu devs didn't install it and provided gnome fish ?
[02:01] <K_Dallas> bastid_raZor, I tried mplayer and no changes there. I know my laptop is old but it still I get to play 1080p video files nicely under Windows. Is it a question of codec or it is the video drivers for Linux or maybe some other reason?
[02:01] <justin22885> ok
[02:02] <mdg2> anyone here use cups via cli to print - from elinks or such?
[02:02] <gogeta> Purpley: sounds like a bad compile
[02:02] <urthmover> LVMn00b: well I'm still stuck with cpufreq-selector   insisting on keeping my fancy 2.67GHz running at 800MHz   :-(   do you have any place that I can look to see why cpufreq-selector isn't implimenting the change?
[02:02] <pburt> alket, the ubuntu devs are sloppy
[02:02] <xenon401> I am gonna go. Bye
[02:02] <Purpley> gogeta, How do i fix it?
[02:02] <bastid_raZor> K_Dallas: my best guess would be video drivers aren't up to par.
[02:02] <alket> pburt: lol
[02:02] <Xcell> sudo apt-get leave now
[02:03] <justin22885> ok.. dd if=xxx.img of=/dev/sdf
[02:03] <xenon401> exit
[02:03] <justin22885> thats done, just made a bootable USB image of archlinux
[02:04] <LVMn00b>  urthmover: sorry, no. I simply make use of the gnome panel app. it's related to ACPI /APCI (?)
[02:04] <magn3ts> I'm having three very serious problems after upgrading and I'd love any input: I have a 5,1 Apple Macbook Pro. Before the upgrade these things were not issues: One, My accelerated nvidia driver works exactly every other time I boot my computer. Every other time it tells me it has to work in failsafe mode. Second, when I wake up from sleep/hibernate, my laptop is unable to release its IP Address from my router. Three, Flash performane is te
[02:04] <magn3ts> rrible.  I'm not so worried about the third problem because its probably a result of adobe having their thumb up their bums, but the other problems are rather serious.
[02:04] <K_Dallas> bastid_raZor, I see. So, I don't have that many choices but buying one of those media players (e.g. WD).  Any suggestion for that? I saw one which could read ext3 but most probably nit ext4
[02:05] <Lock> how might i go about reinstalling gnome?
[02:05] <ChogyDan> magn3ts: is this lucid?
[02:05] <magn3ts> ChogyDan, yes.
[02:06] <IdleOne> Lock: apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[02:06] <noric> I am attempting to use dpkg -i cvoicecontrol.  This package depends on libncurses4.  I am using 10.04, so I have libncurses5.  How can I get cvoicecontrol running?  Am I able to install libncurses4 concurrently with curses5?
[02:06] <xenon401> anyone viewing Chris Pirillo's live stream?
[02:06] <LVMn00b> Lock: `sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm` or `sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop` . but you'll likely break a lot of dependancies
[02:07] <HowardTheDuck> re
[02:07] <Purpley> Hey when I run "fgrun" I get Segmentation fault. How do I fix it
[02:07] <mickster04> is there a way to get the new unity ui?
[02:07] <xenon401> yes
[02:07] <acerimmer> xenon401: URL?
[02:07] <HowardTheDuck> well, my Lubuntu 32 bit disk couldn't read the hard drive either
[02:07] <xenon401> one second...
[02:07] <HowardTheDuck> I have no idea why
[02:08] <urthmover> LVMn00b: ok thanks for the help
[02:08] <hawkrives> HowardTheDuck Make sure that windows still boots, as of now.
[02:08] <HowardTheDuck> okay
[02:08] <noric> Purpley, Segmentation fault is, more or less, the worst thing a program can do.  It's likely an issue with fgrun itself, and you should ask on the project's mailing list, or check out the faq
[02:08] <LVMn00b> urthmover:  sorry I couldn't be of more assistance
[02:08] <HowardTheDuck> I'm on my Lubuntu lappy, so I can stay on
[02:08] <Dougdoug4> When installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-BIT Edition, I come to the phase of 'getting time from network server', during this phase the bar just loads up to 142% and then my computer freezes
[02:08] <Dougdoug4> Any ideas?
[02:08] <xenon401> nevermind...I only found blogs
[02:08] <alket> I like the wanda fish in gnome panel that tells quotes , i want to localize it in my language how can i do it ?
[02:09] <noric> Dougdoug4, disconnect the network connection for the installation?  Perhaps it won't try to get the time then?
[02:09] <HowardTheDuck> Yeah Windows 7 is loading now.  I wonder if 7 has the HD locked or something to where Ubuntu installer can't seei t?
[02:09] <Purpley> noric, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO do you know of any gui for fgfs
[02:09] <xenon401> I do not think it is gonna be available (the unity UI) until June
[02:09] <b166erx> Question :  I just would want to know why Gtkpod doesnt detect my ipod touch (3rdgen)      but Rythmbox does it out of the box ?       I tought gtkpod was 'better' at this no ?
[02:09] <noric> Purpley, never even heard of  fgfs  : - D
[02:09] <mickster04> xenon401: awww:( i would love to try the dev version:D
[02:09] <xenon401> 10.04 is treating me well so far. I love it way better than Win 7.
[02:09] <Purpley> noric, Its a flight simulator
[02:09] <xenon401> micksrer04: Me too!
[02:09] <urthmover> HowardTheDuck: no there is no such thing as that.....the linux kernel should identify all SCSI/IDE devices attached tot he system no matter what is says on the platters
[02:09] <HowardTheDuck> 7 seems a lot better than XP, but it's still Windows
[02:09] <noric> Purpley, Oh. one sec
[02:09] <Purpley> I would use microsofts but I dont know if wine runs it
[02:10] <xenon401> XP is better. and yeah, HowardTheDuck
[02:10] <mickster04> xenon401: humm..im a windows dev by study so need win for the visual studio (c# programming)
[02:10] <Dougdoug4> When installing Ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64-BIT Edition, I come to the phase of 'getting time from network server', during this phase the bar just loads up to 142% and then my computer freezes
[02:10] <Dougdoug4> Any ideas?
[02:10] <xenon401> Windows is too unsecure
[02:10] <hawkrives> HowardTheDuck Highly doughtful. Try reburning the ISO and see if that works. Dont know why it would, but I would try it if it were mine.
[02:10] <xenon401> Wine?
[02:10] <xenon401> Run windows programs through Wine?
[02:10] <mickster04> xenon401: not visual studio, i tried it:D as soo as i got it
[02:10] <xenon401> Ohh!
[02:10] <t3kn0z> how do I identify my webserver? I'm using mysql but "grep "^User" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf" doesn't seem to be working. It keeps returning "grep: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf: No such file or directory."
[02:10] <HowardTheDuck> urthmover: Hrm.  I just don't know then.  hawkrives I just tried to install from a differnet 32 bit disk that I know works perfectly
[02:10] <noric> Purpley, try finding a .deb  version of the flight sim.  That should be pre-tested and not Seg fault
[02:10] <b166erx> !gtkpod
[02:10] <xenon401> XD
[02:10] <noric> Purpley, I assume you downloaded the src ?
[02:11] <HowardTheDuck> I'll try reburning but if my 32 bit version won't read the disk, it's doubtful any will
[02:11] <xenon401> iTunes is the only reason I am dualbooting with windows 7.
[02:11] <noric> Dougdoug4, disconnect the network connection for the installation?  Perhaps it won't try to get the time then?
[02:11] <urthmover> xenon401: yes wine will allow many if not all the most important windows apps to run on linux  without virtualization (except many games)
[02:11] <Purpley> noric, What do you mean the src?
[02:11] <xenon401> and glitchy...
[02:11] <noric> Purpley, how did you install the flight simulator?
[02:11] <jimcooncat> urthmover: and unfortunately Quickbooks
[02:11] <noric> xenon401, I have had luck getting 3D acceleration working in Virtualbox (free version of VMWare).  This means I can play quite a few games in the VM.
[02:12] <noric> xenon401, but not fancy stuff like new RTS or FPS
[02:12] <xenon401> Yeah.
[02:12] <urthmover> HowardTheDuck: how about going into disk management on win7  and free up some hard drive space and leave it unformatted...then boot the live cd again
[02:12] <hawkrives> HowardTheDuck Right. And Gparted just said that it couldnt find the disk at all?
[02:12] <xenon401> Wine does work fairly well being said Linux is not meant really to run Windows applications.
[02:12] <b166erx> !ipod
[02:12] <LVMn00b>  is anyone able to assist me with a RAID-1/mirror configuration, please?
[02:13] <noric> xenon401, I only mention virtualbox, because I have found some things run better emulated than under wine (and vice versa)
[02:13] <Purpley> noric, Synaptics Package Manager
[02:13] <xenon401> I run BackTrack 4 in Vbox.
[02:13] <xenon401> It is quite a good virtualization.
[02:13] <HowardTheDuck> thats right
[02:13] <HowardTheDuck> neither gparted or installer read the disk
[02:13] <urthmover> xenon401: I find vmware to be more stable especailyl with the network stack
[02:14] <noric> Purpley, did you install the flightgear package?
[02:14] <HowardTheDuck> ok.  geeze man.  let me try to do that in 7.  i dont know how though really, never used this OS before
[02:14] <xenon401> urthmover: On Linux? I haven't tried that.
[02:14] <HowardTheDuck> disk management heh
[02:14] <xenon401> VirtualBox only Aborted once for me.
[02:14] <Aquina> sudo -H does noch change $HOME. Can someone give me a hint?
[02:14] <noric> Purpley, clarification:  there are a few packages, such as fgfs-base, fgfs-atlas, etc, but you need to install "flightgear" to make it work
[02:14] <Razass> looking for someone experienced with dual graphics card setups http://superuser.com/questions/139818/ubuntu-10-04-not-detecting-multiple-monitors thanks
[02:14] <noric> Purpley, try opening a terminal and executing this as sudo:     aptitude install flightgear
[02:15] <blendmaster1024> i can't install libgnome-desktop-dev because it depends on "libgnome-desktop-2-11 (= 1:2.26.1-0ubuntu1)" but only "1:2.26.1-0ubuntu2" is in the repo
[02:15] <blendmaster1024> any idea how to fix this?
[02:15] <urthmover> xenon401: yes on linux as the host.....but even a while back  running vmware-workstation on a windows host was more reliable and got better performance than an Vbox.....in addition the user interface on vmware is much easier and makes sense to the cludgey vbox one

[02:16] <xenon401> urthmother: Yeah...I have been having a lot of trouble getting the Guest Additions to work properly under VirtualBox. NO!
[02:18] <flow2fly> wanted to change the link from /bin/sh to bash
[02:18] <nytek_> does anybody know why layout spacing module isn't found?
[02:18] <blendmaster1024> OH NO!
[02:18] <flow2fly> but it is late around here
[02:18] <nytek_> in xmonad
[02:18] <pretender2010> anyone using a Epson Stylus TX550W with ubuntu do they detect work in ubuntu.  Does the wireless work in ubuntu
[02:18] <flow2fly> no concentration
[02:18] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, i would reinstall ubuntu at that point
[02:19] <xenon401> only 9 here
[02:19] <hiexpo> :)
[02:19] <flow2fly> still it is running
[02:19] <blendmaster1024> yes
[02:19] <blendmaster1024> but you can't reboot
[02:19] <flow2fly> somebody needs to send me the binary file
[02:19] <blendmaster1024> you can't run anything
[02:19] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, hmm
[02:19] <flow2fly> i know that blendmaster
[02:19] <hiexpo> !printer
[02:19] <flow2fly> i have still an open browser window
[02:19] <blendmaster1024> do you have dash still?
[02:19] <flow2fly> and an open shell
[02:19] <teknoz> what is the command to identify my web server name?
[02:19] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, DONT CLOSE THAT SHELL
[02:20] <flow2fly> i know that but i dont know where to get this file
[02:20] <onetinsoldier> teknoz: hostname
[02:20] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, you can use /proc to get the excecutable from memory
[02:20] <teknoz> thank you.
[02:20] <Tekno> ?
[02:20] <Tekno> ah
[02:20] <clone1018> ok. So I have a partition made using ubuntu at install time. One has ubuntu on it. the other doesnt. I want to mount it. How?
[02:20] <flow2fly> interesting
[02:20] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, at the shell, type "echo $$"
[02:21] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, i really hope that shell is root
[02:21] <xenon401> /mnt/file
[02:21] <hawkrives> Couldnt flow2fly use synaptic to reinstall it?
[02:21] <flow2fly> 22588
[02:21] <blendmaster1024> hawkrives, no, synaptic uses bash
[02:21] <hawkrives> Ahh.
[02:21] <clone1018> xenon401 my mount folder is empty
[02:21] <flow2fly> yes i tried this before asking here
[02:21] <xenon401> ohh
[02:21] <magn3ts> ChogyDan, yes.
[02:21] <flow2fly> using synaptic
[02:21] <magn3ts> ChogyDan, woops, sorry
[02:21] <magn3ts> ChogyDan, yes.
[02:21] <teknoz> onetinsoldier: Actually, i think it's something different. I'm trying to install Nagios and the step I'm at tells me to "Identify Web Server User" and tells me to type in "grep "^User" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf"....
[02:21] <magn3ts> erg
[02:21] <magn3ts> I'm having three very serious problems after upgrading and I'd love any input: I have a 5,1 Apple Macbook Pro. Before the upgrade these things were not issues: One, My accelerated nvidia driver works exactly every other time I boot my computer. Every other time it tells me it has to work in failsafe mode. Second, when I wake up from sleep/hibernate, my laptop is unable to release its IP Address from my router. Three, Flash performane is te
[02:22] <magn3ts> rrible.  I'm not so worried about the third problem because its probably a result of adobe having their thumb up their bums, but the other problems are rather serious.
[02:22] <FloodBot3> magn3ts: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:22] <xenon401> clone1018: is it from a removable device?
[02:22] <clone1018> No its an apati hdd
[02:22] <flow2fly> now what do i have to type blendmaster1024?  echo $$ this is the ID of the shell process
[02:22] <flow2fly> ?
[02:22] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, wait it's not where i thought it was
[02:22] <teknoz> onetinsoldier: does that make a difference?
[02:23] <blendmaster1024> i know that can be done when it's compiled into the kernel
[02:23] <flow2fly> ok i am waiting
[02:23] <onetinsoldier> teknoz: oh, roger. you might need to be added to the 'http' group or something. that might not be the correct name of it either
[02:23] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, i don't think this is in the default ubuntu kernel, curse them
[02:23] <blendmaster1024> ok, you on lucid?
[02:23] <teknoz> onetinsoldier: Heh. Ok. how do I do that?
[02:23] <flow2fly> 9.10 i think it is karmic?
[02:23] <HowardTheDuck> flow2fly:  yes
[02:23] <xenon401> ya
[02:23] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, ok, and uhm
[02:23] <flow2fly> amd64
[02:24] <blendmaster1024> !info bash karmic
[02:24] <clone1018> xenon401 no clue?
[02:24] <flow2fly> i think
[02:24] <Aquina> acerimmer, I mean why does "sudo -H -u \#1000 echo $HOME" return /root instead of /home/aquina ?
[02:24] <xenon401> clone1018: what are you trying to mount?
[02:24]  * blendmaster1024 downloads that bash
[02:25] <clone1018> I'm trying to mount an apati hdd partitioned with Ubuntu at install
[02:25] <flow2fly> blendmaster1024: where do you download?
[02:25] <xenon401> u at the shell?
[02:25] <onetinsoldier> teknoz: you better get someone whi knows that there doing when it come to installing a web server. but you can try looking at the following giu app. not sure if it'll have what you need in there, but it might. System --> Administration --> Users and Groups
[02:25] <clone1018> yes
[02:25] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, packages.ubuntu.com but i don't know if it will unpack without bash
[02:25] <blendmaster1024> it may call the shell, it may not
[02:25] <teknoz> onetinesoldier: the command I'm looking at reads "/usr/sbin/usermod -G nagcmd apache".....I use mySql, think I should sub apache for mysql?
[02:26] <xenon401> it shoud be recognized? u have the GUI right?
[02:26] <clone1018> yes. but it doesnt recognize it
[02:26] <xenon401> ...brb
[02:26] <onetinsoldier> teknoz: i doubt it. mysql is a database service while apache... is a web server
[02:27] <flow2fly> i couldnt find out where to download the binary on the paket search website
[02:27] <xenon401> sudo lshw -C disk
[02:27] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, that's ok, i've downed stuff from there plenty before
[02:27] <xenon401> clone1018: ^^
[02:27] <flow2fly> ah i think now i see it
[02:27] <xenon401> note the logical name entry...tell me when u got that far
[02:28] <onetinsoldier> teknoz: probably be more like 'httpd' than mysql
[02:28] <|shad0w|> ps wwwaux | awk '/[h]ttpd/ {print $1}' | sort | uniq
[02:28] <LVMn00b> is anyone able to assist me with a RAID-1/mirror configuration, please?
[02:28] <onetinsoldier> teknoz: have a look at the /etc/group file to see what groups exist on your system
[02:28] <clone1018> logical name is: /dev/sdb
[02:28] <teknoz> onetinsoldier: Probably. I'm going to try running it through Synaptic. I think there's an autoinstaller during the process.
[02:28] <flow2fly> blendmaster1024: well just downloading the package does not work, there is some error when trying to reinstall
[02:29] <clone1018> xenon401 ^
[02:29] <xenon401> okay now open Gparted: sudo gparted
[02:29] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, not surprising
[02:29] <onetinsoldier> teknoz: ok, roger
[02:29] <blendmaster1024> i can get the bash file itself out though
[02:29] <blendmaster1024> here, you still have a shell?
[02:29] <clone1018> gparted isnt installed
[02:29] <blendmaster1024> type 'exec dash'
[02:29] <flow2fly> ah with archive manager it works
[02:29] <xenon401> goto synaptic or "add/remove programs"s
[02:29] <xenon401> or better yet, boot from the live CD
[02:30] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, yep
[02:30] <cxl> hi
[02:30] <flow2fly> by the way i also deleted dash
[02:30] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, wow
[02:30] <flow2fly> sorry for being so stuopid
[02:30] <blendmaster1024> that's an easier reinstall though
[02:30] <clone1018> No internet while gui is hooked up. Long story. I can ssh though
[02:30] <xenon401> do that...
[02:30] <flow2fly> long time that i used ln
[02:30] <flow2fly> and it is 3:30 in the night..
[02:30] <clone1018> k moving computer back. br
[02:31] <flow2fly> blendmaster1024: what rights do i have to give to the bash file?
[02:31] <flow2fly> or just sudo mv bash /bin/
[02:31] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, go=rw
[02:32] <blendmaster1024> no oops i mean
[02:32] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, go=rx
[02:32] <blendmaster1024> u=rwx
[02:32] <flow2fly> -rwxr-xr-x 1 johannes johannes<PHONE_NUMBER>-09-14 07:08 bash
[02:32] <fumanchu182> what are we chmodding?
[02:32] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, chown root:root /bin/bash
[02:33] <Guest19614> I know ubuntutweak can change my logon back to the old way to enter user name then password how do you do that manually? anyone know?
[02:33] <flow2fly> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root<PHONE_NUMBER>-09-14 07:08 bash
[02:33] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, should be safe at to reboot now
[02:33] <blendmaster1024> WAIT NO
[02:34] <blendmaster1024> ln -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
[02:34] <flow2fly> why not
[02:34] <cockatrice> Hey, I have sshd running on my desktop with the wireless router, and when I type "ssh braxton@desktop" on my laptop connected to the wireless router, is says connection refused!
[02:34] <blendmaster1024> then you'll be good
[02:34] <fumanchu182> blendmaster1024, sh != bash
[02:34] <harley_> can't write to usb drive in ubuntu 10.4 ?
[02:34] <blendmaster1024> fumanchu182, but he screwed sh up too
[02:34] <wiesshund> Is there a fglrx-installer-8.723.1 someplace in a package format?  trying to get my radeon 4850 working properly
[02:34] <flow2fly> i think it works
[02:34] <blendmaster1024> and bash can fake sh
[02:34] <flow2fly> now i will get back dash
[02:34] <fumanchu182> lol did you remove the entire /bin folder?
[02:34] <|shad0w|> bash on most linux system is a symlink to sh anyway
[02:35] <|shad0w|> but make it relative
[02:35] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, i would go to bed
[02:35]  * fumanchu182 laughs
[02:35] <|shad0w|> cd /bin && ln -s bash sh
[02:35] <CogitoErgoSam> cockatrice:  Try using the IP address instead of host name.  Also, do you have UFW enabled?
[02:35] <psusi> wiesshund, I have a 4850 and am just using the default open source drivers... work fine
[02:35] <blendmaster1024> flow2fly, don't do what flow2fly said ...
[02:35] <flow2fly> yes but i will not shut it down before i have repaired it
[02:35] <cockatrice> UFW? Sorry, I'm a newb to ssh, just trying it out.
[02:35] <blendmaster1024> i mean [facepalm]
[02:35] <wiesshund> psusi no 3d
[02:35] <Dr_Willis> sh on ubuntu is normaly 'dash' not bash.
[02:35] <psusi> wiesshund, I do
[02:35] <flow2fly> Dr_Willis: correct
[02:35] <blendmaster1024> Dr_Willis, but he broke dash too, and only has bash atm
[02:35] <CogitoErgoSam> cockatrice:  If you don't know what ufw is you don't need to worry about it then :)
[02:36] <flow2fly> that was my initial problem
[02:36] <cockatrice> alright.
[02:36] <flow2fly> but now bash is working again
[02:36] <psusi> wiesshund, I have all kinds of funky compiz effects on too, like the 3d rotating cube desktop... works fine with the mesa drivers
[02:36] <cockatrice> so just go to whatismyip.com?
[02:36] <flow2fly> i downloaded it
[02:36] <cockatrice> I'll just do that, yeah.
[02:36] <|shad0w|> ahh yes, because actually changing the shebang in initscripts was too much of a pain and deb/ubu decided to break that mantra ...
[02:36] <flow2fly> extracted from the deb
[02:36] <wiesshund> ive got 2d only no 3d functions
[02:36] <CogitoErgoSam> cockatrice:  First up, are you trying to connect remotely or from the same LAN as the target box
[02:36] <psusi> wiesshund, what makes you say that?
[02:36] <klappi> hm my bash is bash what did i do wrong?
[02:36] <Agu10> hi
[02:37] <blendmaster1024> hehehe i love the startheylegger trick [misspelled on purpose]
[02:37] <fumanchu182> you didn't ksh enough Klapo
[02:37] <CogitoErgoSam> cockatrice:  If you're connecting remotely and are behind a router/firewall you'll most likely need to set it up to forward port 22 to the right box
[02:37] <HowardTheDuck> man i just can't get the installer to read my partition.  maybe I should try plugging into another SATA port
[02:37] <Agu10> I'm gonna make a persintant USB pendrive ubuntu
[02:37] <klappi> fumanchu182: i normaly drink korn
[02:37] <wiesshund> well for starters the fact no 3d apps will run any longer. they report no 3d accellerator found
[02:37] <Agu10> but I don't know what 4GB Casper-RW is
[02:37] <Agu10> can you explain this to me please?
[02:37] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  a save file normally.
[02:38] <flow2fly> ok thank you very much guys so far especially blendmaster1024
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  or the compressed system file.. depending on what you have done.
[02:38] <Guest19614> anyway to get xp to recognize a ext4 partition I made a backup partition as ext4 and want to copy stuff to xp?
[02:38] <flow2fly> hope the rights of the files are correct now
[02:38] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, ? can you give me a link that explains?
[02:38] <cockatrice> CogitoErgoSam: But I don't think I can do that with a dynamic IP T>T
[02:38] <clone1018> ok xenon401
[02:38] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  not really.. Ive nust read/made such things on various linux live-usb setups.
[02:39] <hiexpo> !windows | Guest19614
[02:39] <psusi> wiesshund, what does glxinfo | head say?
[02:39] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, I'm trying to boot my ubuntu from my pendrive. I have 16 GB free
[02:39] <xenon401> clone1018: Right-click on the white bar and choose "New."
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  the pendrivelinux web site gives some details on it.
[02:39] <flow2fly> now can somebody explain me how to link /bin/sh to /bin/bash TEMPORARILY?
[02:39] <Guest19614> if every question asked routes to a another channel exactly what is this channel good for?
[02:39] <cockatrice> CogitoErgoSam: My ISP doesn't support static IP's, there all douchebags. >,<
[02:39] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, ok, thanks
[02:39] <clone1018> xenon401 I CANNOT delete anything off this partition
[02:39] <CogitoErgoSam> cockatrice:  You can use a service like dyndns.org to provide access to a dynamic IP.  There are also instructions on their site for installing a daemon on your computer that will update the dyndns.org entry
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  so whats teh actual problem then?
[02:39] <cockatrice> *they're
[02:39] <CogitoErgoSam> cockatrice:  I use the service myself
[02:39] <xenon401> clone1018: it is filed up?
[02:39] <cockatrice> CogitoErgoSam: :O
[02:39] <wiesshund> psusi, it says everything is missing
[02:40] <clone1018> It has important client data
[02:40] <cockatrice> CogitoErgoSam: can I use this for other things too, like a webserver!?
[02:40] <clone1018> No it has 2GB of 6GB
[02:40] <xenon401> clone1018: for this too work, it must have some room.
[02:40] <xenon401> we need to create a new primary partition
[02:40] <CogitoErgoSam> cockatrice:  Well, you COULD but a residential connection wouldn't likely have much bandwidth for hosting, and your ISP might complain
[02:40] <lgc> Hi, does sshd modify /etc/hosts.deny by itself in order to block attacks?
[02:40] <psusi> wiesshund, you are running 10.04 right?
[02:40] <clone1018> isnt there a way to mount it?
[02:40] <cockatrice> CogitoErgoSam: I love you.
[02:41] <cockatrice> CogitoErgoSam: Mind if I query?
[02:41] <CogitoErgoSam> Hm?
[02:41] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, which one would you choose? 1, 2, 3 or 4 GB Casper ?
[02:41] <psusi> damnit... they keep changing the switch to have glxgears print its fps... maybe they fully removed it this time
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> lgc:  not that ive seen.
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  depends on how much save space you need.
[02:41] <xenon401> so you are installing a new HDD or mounting only?
[02:41] <Agu10> I need as much as possible
[02:41] <clone1018> mounting only
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> psusi:  thers no switch.. it prints the fps by default here.
[02:42] <wiesshund> psusi, yes
[02:42] <blendmaster1024> i can't install libgnome-desktop-dev because it depends on "libgnome-desktop-2-11 (= 1:2.26.1-0ubuntu1)" but only "1:2.26.1-0ubuntu2" is in the repo - any idea how to fix this?
[02:42] <xenon401> okay, one second...
[02:42] <Agu10> is it gonna use 4 GB of my drive even if I don't download much stuff?, Dr_Willis ?
[02:42] <xenon401> secondary HDD?
[02:42] <clone1018> yes
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  it will make a 4gb save file.. so yes.
[02:42] <xenon401> okay
[02:42] <edbian> What is the extension of mpeg-2 DVD quality video?   .mpeg  ?
[02:42] <CogitoErgoSam> cockatrice:  If you use dyndns for something like SSH, you'll probably want to change the port to something high instead of the default of 22, in case some script-kiddy out there tries to brute force it
[02:42] <psusi> Dr_Willis, lol... yea, now that I run it it does here too... for a while you had to say -printfps, then glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  and the installer will take a bit of time to make the 4gb save file also
[02:42] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, ok. is it only for config files? user documents? programs?
[02:42] <cockatrice> CogitoErgoSam: Lawl, script-kiddy.
[02:43] <cockatrice> CogitoErgoSam: Alright.
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  all changes go there. its overlaied over the normal installed files.
[02:43] <lgc> Dr_Willis, I'm checking my auth logs and I see someone trying to log in repeatedly with different users, but I also see the same IP address on the auth.log file.
[02:43] <xenon401> clone1018: sudo fdisk -l ...note any numbers of second harddisk... like /dev/sdb1, 2
[02:43] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, ehmm. I can still have other stuff in my pendrive?
[02:43] <lgc> Dr_Willis, sorry, I see the address also in /etc/hosts.deny.
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> lgc:  theres tools out that can auto-block on attacks
[02:43] <un214> is there a program that can maintain a mirror of part of universe?
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  if you dont fill it up with a huge save file. yes.
[02:43] <xenon401> clone1018: sudo mkdir /media/first
[02:44] <un214> e.g. these specific packages and their dependencies
[02:44] <clone1018> ok xenon401 done
[02:44] <lgc> Dr_Willis, like which one?
[02:44] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, and can I put my ubuntu in an NTFS pendrive? or should I format to FAT32 ?
[02:44] <HowardTheDuck> resizd my 7 disk, going to try to cfdisk make a partition to install ubuntu on
[02:44] <clone1018> xenon401: http://pastebin.org/223353
[02:44] <clone1018> Second one is the one I want to mount
[02:44] <xenon401> sudo mount -t ntfs-3g  /dev/partiton_number /media/first -o defaults,umask=0
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> lgc:  i dont recall.. If you see the ip getting auto added to hosts.deny then you proberly got one installed. I dont think sshd does it by itself.
[02:45] <lgc> Dr_Willis, that makes sense. Thanks.
[02:45] <xenon401> close the spaces...my bad
[02:45] <un214> Agu10 if your format it to FAT32 the biggest file you can make on it is 4gb which would be a problem for disk images (like what wubu uses) these days
[02:45] <clone1018> close what spaces?
[02:45] <clone1018> *which
[02:46] <xenon401> /dev/partion_number/media/first
[02:46] <xenon401> that one ^
[02:46] <Agu10> un214: but can I put ubuntu on my NTFS pendrive then ? or does it have any problems with this filesystem
[02:46] <HowardTheDuck> man man!  cfdisk can't even open the disk drive!
[02:46] <Agu10> NTFS or Fat32 ?
[02:46] <clone1018> k
[02:46] <un214> Agu10: you probably want to format it ext3 for install
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  using a Pendrive? or doing a Full normal install?
[02:46] <Agu10> pendrive
[02:47] <un214> I really don't think it can boot from ntfs on pendrive
[02:47] <xenon401> then ls /media/first if it all turned out well
[02:47] <Agu10> un214: I want to be able to access my files from windows too
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  using the usb installer tool or unetbootin - you will use fat32 nomrally on it.
[02:47] <un214> well....
[02:47] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, ok..
[02:47] <clone1018> can I query you xenon401?
[02:47] <un214> Agu10: that's a completely differents tory
[02:47] <xenon401> sure
[02:47] <clone1018> Its getting a bit messy in here
[02:47] <Agu10> so Fat32 ?
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  using the usb installer tool or unetbootin - you will use fat32 nomrally on it.
[02:47] <un214> Agu10: you're going to have some fun here
[02:47] <Bueller> Anyone very familar with Upstart and/or KVM with bridged networking here?  I've got a strange issue with my new 10.04 install not responding on it's network interface after boot.  If I restart networking then everything works.
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> Usb disk creator tool will default to fat32 i belive  Agu10
[02:48] <un214> that will install but to access your files you're going to have to put your files on the drive rather then in /home
[02:48] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, but I can uncheck the option to format
[02:48] <un214> as /home will be ext2/3 inside disk image
[02:48] <Agu10> ;)
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  so is the pendrive ntfs now then?
[02:49] <un214> I tried making /home fat32 once and much stuff doesn't like that
[02:49] <Samp> when i use the sort command, 10 will appear as lower than 2. Is there a way around that?
[02:49] <Agu10> Dr_Willis, yes, I formatted it recently
[02:49] <Agu10> to NTFS
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> Agu10:  im not even sure the live-cd-setup stuff can work from a NTFS.
[02:49] <Dr_Willis> Try it and see.
[02:49] <Agu10> un214: I think it might work for USB pendrive
[02:49] <Agu10> lol
[02:49] <phillipsjk> un214: fat 32 doesn't support a lot of permissions.
[02:49] <blendmaster1024> i can't install libgnome-desktop-dev because it depends on "libgnome-desktop-2-11 (= 1:2.26.1-0ubuntu1)" but only "1:2.26.1-0ubuntu2" is in the repo - any idea how to fix this?
[02:49] <Agu10> ok
[02:49] <linxeh> it supports almost no permissions
[02:51] <karlzt> #ubuntu-overflow
[02:51] <greenthumb> what is the LTS stand for in 10.04LTS
[02:51] <Dr_Willis> !lts
[02:51] <phillipsjk> linxeh: it support flags instead:  Read only, System file, archive, I forget the other one (hidden?))
[02:51] <linxeh> hidden yeah
[02:51] <greenthumb> thnax
[02:51] <linxeh> not really an alternative :)
[02:52] <clone1018> Anyone know how to mount a hard drive via terminal?
[02:53] <klappi> clone1018: i suggest usage of mount
[02:53] <clone1018> yes. but it didnt work
[02:53] <klappi> clone1018: and there was no error output?
[02:53] <xenon401> clone1018: WAIT! Try this: mount /dev/<insert device> /mnt/hdb1
[02:54] <clone1018> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[02:54] <phillipsjk> clone1018: the trickyest part is figuring out the device name. #mount /dev/devname  /mountpoint , mountpoint is optional if it is listed in /etc/mtab.
[02:54] <clone1018> And I dont know what filesystem it is
[02:54] <xenon401> -t
[02:54] <dmsuperman> clone1018: Then it sounds like you don't have a FS on it, or not one that your computer recognizes
[02:54] <dmsuperman> mount is pretty smart about determining which FS you need
[02:54] <klappi> clone1018: why dont you know?
[02:54] <xenon401> I got that from a site...hoping it woud help
[02:55] <dmsuperman> sudo fdisk -l to get a listing of your disks
[02:55] <clone1018> Displayed help xenon401
[02:55] <xenon401> lol, not again
[02:55] <clone1018> klappi I dont see why that matters
[02:55] <xenon401> it happens a lot to me too!
[02:55] <clone1018> http://pastebin.org/223353
[02:55] <xenon401> It is due to incorrect syntex I believe.
[02:55] <clone1018> I need to mount the seond disk
[02:56] <con-man> is there a way to stream video over my network to my playstation3 so I watch downloaded stuff on my TV?
[02:56] <zbanks> I have a weird memory problem. On my desktop (which has an x64 processor, if it might mater), ubuntu always seems to use excessive memory, and not know where it is. `sudo htop` says I'm using a little over a gig, but I have almost nothing open
[02:56] <vectorman> con-man, yep
[02:56] <con-man> vectorman, can you point me in the right direction?
[02:56] <vectorman> con-man, look into ushare +ps3 on google
[02:56] <klappi> clone1018: well if you would now the os it was used with it narrows the possibilies
[02:56] <con-man> vectorman, thanks
[02:56] <phillipsjk> clone1018: is the disk in question formatted yet?
[02:56] <vectorman> I got my xbox 360 working pretty well with uShare, and it's the same process I believe
[02:56] <zbanks> Its not something on the install, I think. I have an install on a portable hard drive, which works fine on other computers but not this one
[02:56] <rbutler> I was just watching a video and would like to know how to save it. Usually it is temporarily found in /tmp but I realised that there are more and more videos which are not placed there.
[02:57] <IdleOne> myrl: to answer your question in -ops. depends what you mean exactly. Did you want to know about becoming an operator in Ubuntu channels or in general on freenode?
[02:57] <clone1018> it was parttioned using ubuntu
[02:57] <clone1018> partitioned
[02:57] <clone1018> during ubuntu install
[02:57] <myrl> in general
[02:57] <myrl> idleone thanks for responding
[02:57] <clone1018> yes phillipsjk
[02:57] <vectorman> My question was, can anyone suggest a good editor with a decent GUI? looking for javascript/html/php editing here
[02:58] <clone1018> vectorman gedit
[02:58] <Gnea> !info screem
[02:58] <clone1018> or kate
[02:58] <IdleOne> myrl: /mode +o #channel user provided you have been added to the access list. #freenode can probably direct you to more info
[02:58] <phillipsjk> vectorman: Emacs and vim have GUIs, what more do you want?
[02:58]  * psusi goes back to beating defrag into shape
[02:58] <myrl> idleone thanks you
[02:58] <myrl> idleone *thank you
[02:59] <IdleOne> myr0: no prblem
[02:59] <IdleOne> myrl: ^^
[02:59] <CogitoErgoSam> vectorman:  Gedit has a lot of plugins that can help improve the scripting experience
[02:59] <vectorman> phillipsjk, in particular the option to screw about with the color scheme.
[02:59] <myrl> idleone  :)
[02:59] <Gnea> vectorman: my suggestion would be screem, but ubottu isn't working too well right now
[02:59] <CogitoErgoSam> vectorman:  Gedit has a bunch of built-in color themes already, or you can customize it
[03:00] <clone1018> anyone have ANY ideas about my mounting issue
[03:00] <klappi> vectorman: any special feature you want to have? the list of editors is endless
[03:00] <phillipsjk> vectorman: Emacs has a "global font lock" that does syntax highlighting, but I never figured out how to tweak it.
[03:00] <kubian> clone1018: what exactly is your issue?
[03:01] <clone1018> I need to mount /dev/sdb to /backups/
[03:01] <clone1018> and I dont know what filesystem it is
[03:01] <kubian> where is /backups created
[03:01] <klappi> clone1018: i dont think sdb is the right device use fdisk -l to list the partitions on sdb
[03:02] <clone1018> klappi http://pastebin.org/223353
[03:02] <Bookman> I am trying to install a DVD drive, but Ubuntu does not seem to auto recognize it.  Any links on how to do so?\
[03:02] <phillipsjk> nice catch klappi.
[03:02] <clone1018> kubian /backups/
[03:02] <klappi> clone1018: i think you want to mount /dev/sdb1
[03:02] <kubian> clone1018: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /backups should do it
[03:03] <klappi> clone1018: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /backups
[03:03] <Dede_one> my visual effect not iactive
[03:03] <clone1018> THANK YOU
[03:03] <clone1018> Thanks man
[03:03] <clone1018> So much :D
[03:03] <FloodBot3> clone1018: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:03] <Dede_one> my visual effect not active .why?
[03:03] <clone1018> sorry FloodBot3
[03:04] <klappi> clone1018: FloodBot3 is a program
[03:04]  * phillipsjk gathers clone1018's problem is now solved.
[03:04] <wildbat_laptop> Dede_one, a) you don;t have the correct display driver or b) you haven't installed compiz
[03:04] <clone1018> I know :P
[03:04] <pantsd> So I upgraded to 10.04 but I can't boot even in recovery mode
[03:04] <con-man> so I use ushare and type the following: ushare -n connor-linux -i eth1 -c /media/roflcopter/videos/
[03:04] <pantsd> any recommendations on where to start
[03:04] <con-man> but it says eth0 is down
[03:05] <con-man> but I told it to use eth1
[03:05] <wildbat_laptop> pantsd, Live CD... so what errors you got ?
[03:06] <pantsd> wildbat_laptop: well the last line of text output is eucalyptus-network(lo) main process (842) killed by term signal
[03:08] <wildbat_laptop> pantsd, may be someone will know if you pastebin your dmesg in your hard drive after you mount the drive in liveCD boot.
[03:08] <gmonnie> i need help reloading the drivers for the touchpad on my toshiba satellite laptop, im running 9.10
[03:09] <pantsd> wildbat_laptop: shiney. Where does it drop the dmsg buffer to for failed boots?
[03:09] <Realmkeeper> Is there an official site for Ubuntu Remix. I can find the ones for Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, etc... but there doesn't seem to be one for Ubuntu Remix? I would like to send it to a friend to see.
[03:09] <psusi> Realmkeeper, huh?  WHAT Ubuntu remix?
[03:10] <Realmkeeper> psusi: the netbook version of Ubuntu.
[03:10] <^aman^> #wikipedia-zh
[03:10] <moes> pantsd, Had the same problem with upgrading...Did a clean install and all fine
[03:10] <psusi> Realmkeeper, a quick google of "ubuntu netbook remix" brings it right up
[03:10] <wildbat_laptop> pantsd, /var/log/ but if you mount your drive it will be like /mnt/mydrive/var/log
[03:11] <greezmunkey> pantsd: the /var/log/dmesg file is updated on boot
[03:11] <Nautilus> I made a .sh shell script on the desktop, first line is "#!/bin/sh" too, but when I double-click it just opens it in the text editor when I want it to execute. how to do that?
[03:11] <greezmunkey> Nautilus: chmod+x the file
[03:11] <wildbat_laptop> Nautilus, chmod a+x
[03:11] <Nautilus> oh
[03:11] <Purpley> How do I enable ssh on ubuntu? It says the connection is refused
[03:11] <Realmkeeper> psusi: that seemed to only bring up ubuntu-rescue-remix.org, not what I want. And, for the remix, only the download page.
[03:11] <Purpley> My ip isnt in hots.deny
[03:12] <wildbat_laptop> Purpley, install open-sshd
[03:12] <gmonnie> does anybody know how to reload drivers for a laptop touchpad on 9.10
[03:12] <psusi> Realmkeeper, third link down: http://www.canonical.com/projects/ubuntu/unr
[03:13] <Purpley> wildbat_laptop, Thats not a package name
[03:13] <wildbat_laptop> Purpley, grrrr openssh-server my bad
[03:13] <wiesshund> Anyone able to get the supposedly fixed fglrx drivers to install on 10.04 ?  No the opensource included driver doesnt work
[03:13] <phillipsjk> Purply something like $"sudo apt-get install openssh-server" (fund with "james@test:~/Desktop$ apt-cache search sshd"
[03:13] <Realmkeeper> psusi: yes, I saw that link. But, all the info (well screen shots) are of the old version. So seems that site is not up to date.
[03:14] <Agu10> hi
[03:14] <pantsd> hmm my /var/log/dmesg seems to be from 04-30
[03:14] <lgc> How can I sort per a given column?
[03:14] <maximo_> it's a time for me to day goodbye
[03:15] <Agu10> I already put my ubuntu into my usb strick, but now how do I set my BIOS to boot from there?
[03:15] <Agu10> I have a new ASUS motherboard
[03:15]  * [manas] is away: I'm busy
[03:15] <CogitoErgoSam> !UNR | Agu10
[03:15] <wildbat_laptop> pantsd, that's didn't llok right unless your computer clock is off ~
[03:16] <CogitoErgoSam> THat link is for the UNR but it does cover booting from USB
[03:16] <CogitoErgoSam> might help
[03:16] <Purpley> Is there a link somewhere with tips on strengthing my ssh server?
[03:16] <pantsd> doesn't seem to be
[03:16] <pantsd> wildbat_laptop: my syslog is more recent
[03:16] <phillipsjk> agu10 you usually have to press a specific key combination on bott to get the BIOS menu. it varies (F10, DEL, Alt-F1)
[03:16] <phillipsjk> *boot
[03:16] <Agu10> :-(
[03:16] <CogitoErgoSam> Purpley:  Change the port to something besides 22.  That's the biggest thing.  Second thing to do is switch from password authentication to using private keys
[03:16] <CogitoErgoSam> Purpley:  RSA host keys
[03:17] <Agu10> look at this: <
[03:17] <Agu10> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IbGmrMN3saE&feature=related
[03:17] <Purpley> CogitoErgoSam, That means I have to transfer a certificate to the machine to connect right?
[03:17] <Agu10> sorry: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RjMSWhGWak&feature=fvw
[03:17] <CogitoErgoSam> Purpley:  Yeah, you'd generate a key on a client and then put it in the right spot on the host
[03:18] <Purpley> CogitoErgoSam, It there a link you can supply that describes it in greater detail?
[03:18] <CogitoErgoSam> PUrpley:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys
[03:18] <Purpley> Thanks CogitoErgoSam!
[03:18]  * phillipsjk remember he has an ASUS MB manual laying around (probably not the same model)
[03:19] <HinHin> hey guys... I need your opinion
[03:19] <Nautilus> Ok I guess I need to put a 'sudo' in my script, but I also want to pass in the password. I see the -p option but that changes the prompt, doesnt let me put password there
[03:19] <Realmkeeper> psusi: kubuntu.org for kde, edubuntu for educational, lubuntu for LXDE, but there is no well presented and up-to-date site I could for for Ubuntu Remix... pitty.
[03:19] <HinHin> should i load my Iptables rules via script (easier to read)
[03:19] <HinHin> or load my rules in and save it
[03:19] <CogitoErgoSam> Purpley:  No prob.  SSH is a great service to set up and get familiar with; makes remote connections so much easier and more secure.  Especially since you can tunnel all sorts of traffic through it.
[03:20] <Purpley> CogitoErgoSam, I know, I love ssh but I always love taking everything to the next step per se
[03:21] <CogitoErgoSam> Purpley:  Okay then yeah, doing keys and using ssh to tunnel other traffic is a great technique to learn
[03:21] <logankoester> Does anyone know the package name for the crappy games that come with ubuntu? I'd like to remove them
[03:21] <phillipsjk> Agu10 for my ASUS MB you press the <Delete> key during the POST.
[03:21] <phoenixandthor> Hello everyone
[03:21] <CogitoErgoSam> Purpley:  You can even forward an X session over ssh with the -X parameter, or use VNC over the encrypted connection
[03:21] <phoenixandthor> So far, I really like Ubuntu, been using it for quite some time
[03:22] <Purpley> CogitoErgoSam, Sadly I dont think I can use the keys :( Im trying to access it from a phone haha
[03:22] <Purpley> CogitoErgoSam, Would you do something like xinit over a ssh connection?
[03:22] <CogitoErgoSam> Purpley:  Heh which one?  I have gnupgp on my iphone, but then again its also jailbroken
[03:22] <Purpley> CogitoErgoSam, Motorola Droid running Android 2.01 :/
[03:23] <CogitoErgoSam> Purpley:  Depends if you want do use an existing session or not, and if you have to worry about the host being unlocked or not while you're logged in
[03:23]  * phillipsjk uses the compression option as well: ssh -XC host
[03:23] <Purpley> I love taking advantage of my phones features
[03:23] <wildbat_laptop> pantsd, may be you could copy what on your screen my hand, you hang be4 dmesg then
[03:23] <Nautilus> is there a way to pass a password to sudo? To eliminate the password prompt
[03:23] <phoenixandthor> However, there is just one feature that doesn't seem to be implemented, one that openSUSE has. With OpenSUSE, I get immediate firewall notifications (a box pops up and asks me what I would like to do) How can this be done in Ubuntu
[03:23] <CogitoErgoSam> Purpley:  The easiest technique is to control the default :0 session but that also means if anyone sits down in front of the computer they'll see the session too
[03:24] <Purpley> CogitoErgoSam, Any documentation you can provide on vnc through ssh servers and that stuff
[03:24] <CogitoErgoSam> Purpley:  You bet; one sec
[03:24] <Purpley> CogitoErgoSam, Thanks
[03:24] <CogitoErgoSam> Purpley:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers#x11vnc
[03:25] <CogitoErgoSam> I prefer x11vnc, its flexible and plays nice with both local and remote connections, and with SSH port forwarding
