[08:58] <mneptok> cutiyar: are you Iraqi, or foreign military or diplomatic staff?
[08:58] <Gnea> bricky: ah, perhaps you can get your info together and try asking again then, so that way you won't seem so... trollish :)
[08:58] <AAA> VanessaE  and you are positive there are 0 usb settings in the bios?
[08:58] <indus> ActionParsnip, is he trying to use flash ?
[08:58] <cutiyar> iam iraqi
[08:59] <cutiyar> kurdy
[08:59] <doyle> VanessaE: how old is hte computer?
[08:59] <ActionParsnip> indus: can't even get to the page
[08:59] <mneptok> cutiyar: ah, so then it is not a military or foreign government Internet access.
[08:59] <indus> cutiyar, you work in some company ? behind a proxy etc
[08:59]  * doyle is former Smell tech support...
[08:59] <VanessaE> AAA: I've been through the BIOS settings left, right and sideway.  If there are USB settings, they are well hidden.
[08:59] <bricky> Gnea: I installed some ng-wlan generic crap after giving up on the BCM drivers ,
[08:59] <bricky> Which failed to install properly, I can run module-assistant and see which ones I have
[08:59] <bricky> Gnea: also when I log off or shut down, the 'screen' should be blank, (black) but theres error messages about my bcm drivers
[08:59] <indus> VanessaE, sometimes pressing ctl f1 unhides those settings
[09:00] <rkavalap> Hi, does changing the username "abc" replace "abc" in all files in '/' partition
[09:00] <Gnea> bricky: got a log of those errors someplace that can get to pastebin?
[09:00] <mneptok> cutiyar: WXQ  ;)
 , iam not working in any company , but a company gaved me wireless
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> bricky: you could add a logout script which unloads the driver, you may get issues if you use a multiple user system though
[09:00] <cutiyar> internet service
[09:00] <sercik> hello!
[09:00] <mneptok> cutiyar: that company may have implemented a filter.
[09:00] <VanessaE> doyle: I'm not sure of the machine's age, though the labels on the bottom seem to put it in the 2003-2004 range.
[09:00] <ActionParsnip> rkavalap: the name is a representation of a UID so it should be ok
[09:00] <indus> cutiyar, so when you try youtube what happens
[09:00] <bricky> ActionParsnip: not a bad idea
[09:00] <sercik> i need a little help to start ubuntu
[09:01] <indus> thisis not an ubuntu question is it ?
[09:01] <bricky> Gnea: Sure, I wll try to look them up for you
[09:01] <VanessaE> indus: ctrl-F1 while looking at the BIOS?
[09:01] <sercik> i'm in textual mode i can't start normally
[09:01] <indus> VanessaE, yeah
[09:01] <VanessaE> hrm, ok
[09:01] <indus> VanessaE, iam sure dell hides most options from users
[09:01] <sercik> what can i try?
 , what u meant?
[09:01] <VanessaE> Let me go take a look.
[09:01] <Gnea> bricky: that'd be great
[09:02] <indus> sercik, try booting in safe graphics mode
[09:02] <doyle> VanessaE: OK, ultimate test, get a usb key, install a bootable piece of software on it, then try to boot to it.
[09:02] <indus> sercik, i mean, have you finished instalaltion >
[09:02] <rkavalap> ActionParsnip: I agree with you. But I would like everything including home directory name, and etc to be replaced with the new username
[09:02] <sercik> indus could you explain me?
[09:02] <doyle> VanessaE: OR, grab a keyboard and watch the lights on it to see if they flash durring boot
[09:02] <indus> sercik, what graphics card do you have
[09:02] <indus> sercik, which ubuntu version etc
[09:03] <sercik> ati radeon hd4850
[09:03] <indus> sercik, excellent me too
[09:03] <ActionParsnip> rkavalap: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=64021
[09:03] <doyle> VanessaE: this'll at least tell us if your computer detects the device at the hardware level.
[09:03] <sercik> ubuntu 9
[09:03] <sercik> i think karmic
[09:03] <indus> sercik, did you install any driver for the card?
[09:03] <sercik> no
[09:03] <AAA> doyle  if the kernel saw it on the hw level dmesg/syslog will say so
[09:03] <sercik> i only installed ubuntu
[09:03] <sercik> and then i start it
[09:03] <indus> sercik, and you never saw a desktop ?
[09:04] <sercik> i had some problems also for installation
[09:04] <sercik> nono
[09:04] <indus> sercik, what problems
[09:04] <sercik> never
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> rkavalap: you may have to run: cd /home; sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ./$USER    to set the ownership to the name (covers all bases ;))
[09:04] <AAA> VanessaE  doyle i agree, try to boot from a usb device and that will rule out the kernel
[09:04] <ActionParsnip> sercik: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[09:04] <indus> sercik, press ctl -alt f1 and see if any messages are seen
[09:04] <indus> ActionParsnip, ya thanks please help him , i have to go have lunch :)
[09:04] <sercik> indus system hangs completely
[09:04] <sercik> i can't press anything
[09:05] <sercik> i also try to remove quiet and splash from grub commandline before start
[09:05] <doyle> AAA:  exactly. Seperate hardware and software issues then resolve.
[09:05] <ActionParsnip> sercik: did you verify the ISO you downloaded was good before using it?
[09:05] <bricky> Gnea: umm, my /var/log/messages file only has june 20-24th hmm
[09:05] <sercik> wait me that i try to restart normally and try to obtain some information
[09:05] <abuayyoub> Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me with a video encoding problem? I have some video files ( avi ) that I downloaded and they have 2 audio tracks (German, and English) Apparently they are encoded with GErman as Default. Is there some way I can change this? If so, how and what program do I need?
[09:06] <bricky> Gnea: my bad it is the 24th
[09:06] <bullgard4> Synaptic: "libgdata-google1.2-1  --  Client library for accessing Google POA through SOAP interface. This package is a client library to access Google services through a SOAP interface." What does 'POA' stand for?
[09:06] <doyle> VanessaE: Good luck. I'm going to sleep. If the system just flat out doesn't see the usb device, it's just bad luck, but if the system sees the device then your installation of Ubuntu can be fixed to do the same.
[09:06] <ActionParsnip> abuayyoub: i believe vlc can do that sort of thing
[09:06] <doyle> Good work AAA. Peace
[09:06] <Gnea> bricky: good thing there's a /var/log/messages.0 and /var/log/messages.1.gz, right?
[09:06] <bricky> :)
[09:07] <Gnea> it may be .1 and .2.gz
[09:07] <VanessaE_> nope, no good.  There are definitely no USB settings in there other than an emulation setting for keyboard/mouse
[09:07] <AAA> doyle  sleep well
[09:07] <VanessaE_> (nothing that would turn the device on/off)
[09:07] <abuayyoub> ActionParsnip, I have tried to change some VLC settings but I couldn't come up with anything. I changed the prefered audio to English but it still defaults to German. This wouldn't be a problem but it kinda ruins the idea of making playlists.
[09:07] <bricky> Gnea: its just throwing me off since it doesnt have any bcm43xx not found
[09:08] <bricky> Gnea: Yeah
[09:08] <AAA> VanessaE_  do you have a) usb keyboard b) usb stick ?
[09:08] <VanessaE_> AAA: no and no.
[09:08] <sercik> wow this time works
[09:08] <VanessaE_> I have only a mouse, a card reader, and a HD.
[09:08] <sercik> it is very strange
[09:09] <[mu]keiserr> any clue http://pastebin.com/vaKzjggJ
[09:09] <sercik> i have a question.. where is menu.lst ?
[09:09] <AAA> VanessaE_  can you boot to the install CD with usb mouse plugged in and see if dmesg/lsusb see's it?
[09:09] <VanessaE_> AAA: I could try, sure.
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> abuayyoub: mencoder can do it but the syntax escapes me, see what you can find online while I help
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> sercik: grub2 doesnt use that file no more
[09:09] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | sercik
[09:09] <VanessaE_> brb.
[09:09] <AAA> VanessaE_  and do you have a card for your card reader? anything you could put in it?
[09:09] <abuayyoub> mencoder, great thank you.
[09:10] <doyle> AAA: thanks, u2. Yea! Boot to the install cd and see if you can use the mouse! You'r a genus AAA
[09:10] <AAA> mencoder ++
[09:10] <VanessaE_> Sure, I have a couple of cards to try
[09:10] <ActionParsnip> abuayyoub: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=639843
[09:10] <sercik> grr
[09:10] <sercik> i can't understand why is neede to change that works very good
[09:10] <sercik> this is the biggest linux problem for me
[09:10] <antonio_> i don't want to update a program, how can i do it?
[09:10] <AAA> VanessaE_  before reboot. unplug the reader, put a card in it and re-insergt
[09:10] <toothdecree> well
[09:11] <toothdecree> thanks but no thanx
[09:11] <VanessaE_> did anyone see where I put my Karmic CD? :)
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> abuayyoub: better: mencoder yourvideo -audiofile youraudio -ovc copy -oac copy -o result.avi
[09:11] <cam2camsex> any girl for sex camm2cam
[09:11] <vu1kan> antonio_ find the program's package in synaptic and you can flag it to not update
[09:11] <mneptok> cam2camsex: stop that
[09:11] <VanessaE_> get lost cam2cam
[09:11] <toothdecree> wrong room cam2camsex
[09:11] <AAA> VanessaE_  you said 10.4? karmic is 9.10
[09:11] <vu1kan> cam2camsex i'm certian that's offtopic
[09:11] <nauticus> rofl
[09:11] <VanessaE_> I don't appreciate sex advanced by privcate msg
[09:11] <rkavalap> ActionParsnip: Thanks for the link.
[09:11] <ActionParsnip> abuayyoub: just change "yourvideo" and "youraudio" with the files you have
[09:11] <mneptok> VanessaE_: apparently that's already been done
[09:12] <_slax0r_> hi, how can I check on ubuntu for installed packages?
[09:12] <VanessaE_> AAA: indeed I did.  I am running Lucid, but at present I only have a Karmic disc handy to boot from
[09:12] <ActionParsnip> _slax0r_: dpkg -l | less     will show all installed packages
[09:12] <VanessaE_> (if I can figure out where I put it)
[09:12] <Fatos> Hi there
[09:12] <abuayyoub> ActionParsnip, but the audio's are in the AVI file. all i know is track 1 is german ( which I want to remove) and track 2 is English. I don't have any specific information on the audio track file names or formats
[09:13] <AAA> VanessaE_  I'm very curious to see dmesg and lsusb when the card is in the usb reader
[09:13] <_slax0r_> thanks
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> abuayyoub: do you not have 3 files, the video, the german audio file and the english audio file?
[09:13] <abuayyoub> ActionParsnip, no, I just have one AVI file
[09:13] <mneptok> abuayyoub: IIRC, VLC can strip out particular audio tracks.
[09:13] <ActionParsnip> abuayyoub: not sure then
[09:14] <abuayyoub> mneptok, You can do it with VLC? how?
[09:14] <Robin___> I have bad sectors on my hard drive.
[09:14] <Robin___> It passed the SMART assesment.
[09:14] <mneptok> abuayyoub: i *think* i remember doing it with VLC.
[09:14] <Robin___> But I don't know what to do about the sectors.
[09:14] <AAA> abuayyoub  you can tell mencoder which audio track to use pretty simple
[09:14] <VanessaE_> ok, located my boot CD.
[09:14] <Robin___> 317 bad sectors.
[09:14] <ActionParsnip> Robin___: the drive is dying, grab a new one asap
[09:15] <Robin___> Is that the whole hard drive?
[09:15] <Robin___> Oh..
[09:15] <abuayyoub> AAA,  ok I will try Mencoder now.
[09:15] <Robin___> ;_;
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> Robin___: they will spread and the drive will become uselesss. Make sure your backups are recent
[09:15] <ubufool> what does the webclient do in "transmission"???
[09:15] <AAA> abuayyoub  -alang de
[09:15] <ActionParsnip> you can connect to the web interface and manage your torrents
[09:15] <sercik> if you like transmission you could try transgui
[09:16] <vu1kan> Robin__ i used a 30gb drive with about 3gb worth of bad sectors for about a year under 8.04...worked fine for me, it's just some of my files would get corrupt
[09:16] <Batch> hi guys
[09:16] <sercik> but if you only use transmission loically weg gui or transgui is not needed
[09:16] <Batch> im trying to use program from milworm
[09:16] <AdvoWork> how can i tell if port 10000 is open, or if webmin is running? its installed, normally works, but if i goto ip:10000 it doesnt work today
[09:16] <Batch> but says
[09:16] <Batch> http://pastebin.com/4mNCW4kV
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> ubufool: some apps plug into transmissions we interface like transdroid for Android phones and you can even click links in the browser and it will tell the server to download stuff
[09:16] <ubufool> vulkan...you could defragment and fix that?
[09:16] <Batch> fuck
[09:16] <FloodBot3> Batch: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[09:16] <cam2camsex> wants a dad show me how I can install the Adobe Flash Player
[09:16] <VanessaE_> AAA: ok, before the reboot as requested - plugging the reader in with the card already inserted does nothing at all - no response from the kernel in dmesg
[09:16] <OpenSourcedNick> what's the big woop about dropbox? I don't get it...
[09:16] <ActionParsnip> !webmin | AdvoWork:
[09:16] <nauticus> Robin__: check reallocated sector count in SMART
[09:17] <vu1kan> ubufool i never tried, i just upgraded to a 130gb
[09:17] <ActionParsnip> cam2camsex: can you use http://pastebin.com to give the output of: uname -a; dpkg -l | grep flash; dpkg -l | grep gnash; dpkg -l | grep swf    thanks
[09:17] <ubufool> xD
[09:17] <AdvoWork> ActionParsnip, its an old ubuntu system though.. why would it stop working overnight?
[09:18] <ubufool> i almost never trash hd's.. unless it gets a virus i can't remove or format over...
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> !ot | OpenSourcedNick
[09:18] <AAA> VanessaE_  crazy.... try to reboot to the CD and see if lsusb/dmesg sees it. it is really starting to sound like a hw problem.  that chipset is new enough to work with a 2.6.2x kernel
[09:18] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: its not compatible with the config file system ubuntu and debian use
[09:18] <ubufool> i've got like 4 barracuda's that need new pcb...xD
[09:18] <VanessaE_> AAA: here's lsusb, before I reboot:  http://pastebin.com/3FLP3pcF
[09:18] <VanessaE_> (the reader is still plugged in)
[09:18] <vu1kan> ubufool i didn't trash it...i'm using it on an old compaq as a webserver...but this is ot
[09:19] <AAA> VanessaE_  also, can you change your bios boot order to boot from usb? try that with the reader and a card plugged in
[09:19] <AdvoWork> ActionParsnip, but, its worked for 2 years, every day with no problems, theres no changes, so why would it fail now
[09:19] <bricky> Gnea: I found some errors if you would still like to take a look,
[09:19] <VanessaE_> AAA:  The card contains no bootable imagery.  Will that matter?
[09:19] <gryllida> help!
[09:20] <vu1kan> does anybody know the syntax of the command to quit and restart the panel?
[09:20] <gryllida> I want to change background color in lynx. Can't find such an option.
[09:20] <AAA> VanessaE_  shouldn't to the bios, no
[09:20] <Monah> тест
[09:20] <gryllida> vu1kan: reboot
[09:20] <gryllida> !ru | Monah
[09:20] <VanessaE_> ok, brb
[09:20] <ubufool> peace out guys
[09:20] <ActionParsnip> AdvoWork: i can only tell you what the bot says dude
[09:21] <AAA> VanessaE_  the excercise is to see if the bios sees the device
[09:21] <bricky> http://paste.ubuntu.com/454327/     <--- fixable perhaps? maybe? :O if not im done :)
[09:21] <vu1kan> gryllida which background are you trying to change?
[09:21] <EvilTrek> hi i have a question.  I'd like to run byobu when i start the terminal, unless byobu is already running in which case i want it to run byobu -r.  How can I do this in .bashrc?
[09:22] <gryllida> vu1kan: webpage background in lynx, I want it be white
[09:22] <AAA> EvilTrek  you'll need an if then statement. I don't have the rc entry for you though
[09:22] <mneptok> EvilTrek: ps + grep + if/else?
[09:23] <vu1kan> gryllida i think that's in system>prefs>appearance
[09:23] <EvilTrek> mneptok:  how exactly would i do that, as in what's the if's conditional statement?  (NOTE: I am not familiar to .bashrc's if statement :P)
[09:23] <gwda> is there a programming chan specific to linux?
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> gwda: #linux
[09:23] <AAA> mneptok  I think it is easier than that. bash has a builtin for determining if a proc is running EvilTrek
[09:23] <AdvoWork> ActionParsnip, thanks for the help.. it was somehow stopped, i did /etc/init.d/webmin start and its fine now..
[09:23] <gwda> programming...
[09:24] <gwda> gtk to be specific
[09:24] <mneptok> AAA: wouldn't know. i'm a zsh user.
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> gwda: i'd ask in #gtk if it exists or #gnome
[09:24] <EvilTrek> AAA: question is how would I go about setting that to check in the if
[09:24] <EvilTrek> o.O
[09:24] <rkavalap> ActionParsnip: Quick question, I can't login as root to using the login screen to change the username. How can login as root using the login screen ?
[09:24] <mikubuntu> i installed 10.04 on my friends machine, which has a cd drive top, and a dvd drive below.  the manual eject button on the dvd drive seems to be broken, and there is no pinhole to open it with a paper clip.  how would i set a panel launch command to open that drive?  on my laptop i set one just with the command 'eject' which works to open my singular cd/dvd drive, and it works great.
[09:24] <Gnea> bricky: okay
[09:24] <AAA> EvilTrek  it's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't pull it off
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> !noroot | rkavalap
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> rkavalap: you dont need to log in as root and it isn't advised
[09:25] <bricky> Gnea: that's the error I got after installing that previous file
[09:25] <EvilTrek> AAA: could I do like " if [pidof byobu | grep = ""] "  or something, or am i completely crazy and that won't work
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> rkavalap: you have sudo and gksudo if you need any admin access as your user will be in the admin group
[09:25] <yskas> Good Day Guys
[09:26] <VanessaE> ok, back, this time using the PC
[09:26] <yskas> i just moved over to ubunut for various reason
[09:26] <yskas> and i am finding that it is very unresponsive
[09:26] <rkavalap> ActionParsnip: without logging into root how can I change my username which is the only other user on the machine ?
[09:26] <yskas> why is this and how does one sort it out
[09:26] <VanessaE> (hm, hands got used to the laptop keyboard...the regular one feels weird now. :-)  )
[09:26] <Gnea> bricky: what's the error?
[09:26] <iceroot> rkavalap: its not good to login as root on the shell, because sudo is doing the job but using root with gdm is the badest idea you can have in the gnu/linux world.
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> rkavalap: use sudo and gksudo as I said
[09:26] <bullgard4> Synaptic: "libgdata-google1.2-1  --  Client library for accessing Google POA through SOAP interface. This package is a client library to access Google services through a SOAP interface." What does 'POA' stand for?
[09:26] <Gnea> bricky: oh, just saw the url
[09:27] <AAA> EvilTrek  yeah, you are on the right track.  define that as a new function in your bashrc
[09:27] <VanessaE> the laptop gave no indication that it had tried to boot from the card reader.
[09:27] <bricky> hehe okay
[09:27] <Gnea> bricky: you're on 10.04?
[09:27] <vu1kan> bullgard4 i think it means 'point of access', but i'm not sure
[09:27] <bricky> yes
[09:27] <appleseed> Hello happy friends, I've a little problem and I hope someone could give advice. You know after you've done a kernel update, then you have to re-Activate the NVIDIA drivers through Hardware Drivers. When I open Hardware Drivers however, I get a Jockey crash. How can I re-activate my NVIDIA drivers in the Shell?
[09:27] <bricky> Gnea: yes
[09:27] <AAA> VanessaE  does the install see the usb stuff?
[09:27] <Gnea> bricky: and where did you download the source from? repository or broadcom's website?
[09:27] <rkavalap> ActionParsnip: I agree logging into root using gdm is bad idea. But I can't change the user which is running according to the usermod manpage.
[09:28] <AAA> VanessaE  ctl-alt-f4 I think for  a new shell
[09:28] <bullgard4> vu1kan: hm
[09:28] <bricky> Gnea: yes it was a repo
[09:28] <Gnea> bricky: bcm5700-source ?
[09:28] <bricky> Gnea: .. yes
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> rkavalap: i'd make a new user then to use and change the user that way, make sure it is a member of admin so it can use sudo etc
[09:28] <bricky> That's correct
[09:28] <Joshmuffin> Hello is anyone able to help me: I have 3 partitions sda1 with backtrack installed sda2 with ubuntu 10.04 and sda3 with ubuntu 10.10 and i cant boot to any of them
[09:29] <vu1kan> bullgard4 just an semi-educated guess
[09:29] <Gnea> bricky: odd, it should have installed everything you'd need... are you sure your build environment is fully setup?
[09:29] <VanessaE> one sec
[09:29] <bricky> Gnea: not sure
[09:29] <VanessaE> checking..
[09:29] <bullgard4> vu1kan: I am trying to get a confirmation on your guess.
[09:30] <Gnea> bricky: well I just installed it and it looks like I'm missing my kernel source tree :)
[09:30] <yskas> also why is compiz using up 90 percent of my one cpu
[09:30] <bricky> Gnea: ahh, oh,
[09:30] <yskas> never had that with gentoo
[09:30] <Joshmuffin> How do you repair a broken grub configuration?
[09:30] <VanessaE> AAA: please stand by, rectal-craniotomy in progress. :)
[09:30] <vu1kan> joshmuffin lifehacker.com has a great guide on that...it might be out of date for 10.04 tho
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> !grub2 | Joshmuffin
[09:31] <Joshmuffin> thats no help
[09:31] <Joshmuffin> its not grub 2
[09:31] <appleseed> How do I activate NVidia Drivers from the shell??
[09:31] <Joshmuffin> well im not really sure what version it is
[09:31] <AAA> VanessaE  that procedure solves lots ;)
[09:31] <bricky> Gnea: I updated my software regularly, but I hope I am missing deps or something
[09:32] <VanessaE> CD takes a while to boot.
[09:32] <vu1kan> !grub | Joshmuffin
[09:32] <vu1kan> that might do ya
[09:32] <EvilTrek> AAA: mneptok:  help?  http://starfleet.pastebin.com/pjgbDJW6
[09:33] <n3m3s1s4u> ActionParsnip, I have loaded again, in windows 7 I have shrunk the drive to give me 100 gig for linux. rebooted all good. Please note the bios sata mode is set to enhanced.... I read something about this...
[09:33] <abuayyoub> AAA,  if I wanted to do this as a batch how would I do it using mencoder? I found a program called AVIDemux which can easily remove or change the default audio track, however it will take me 20 years to do the 300 or so files I need to edit.  Is there a way I can batch edit an entire folder??
[09:33] <gryllida> vu1kan: lynx bg color? in system prefs appearance? can't see it there
[09:33] <AAA> EvilTrek  ;
[09:34] <meatbun> amazon down or just me
[09:34] <AAA> abuayyoub  for i in *.file ; do mencoder -options ; done
[09:34] <Gnea> bricky: okay, I'm installing the source tree - in the meantime, you should go through the checklist to make sure your environment is setup correctly to compile
[09:34] <Gnea> !compile | bricky
[09:34] <AAA> EvilTrek  errr. s/else/then?
[09:34] <VanessaE> ok, CD is booted.
[09:35] <bricky> Gnea: okie on it
[09:35] <Gnea> bricky: just make sure you took care of those steps and try again
[09:35] <ennui> any linnux friendly portable music players?
[09:35] <AAA> VanessaE  dmesg | grep -i usb
[09:35] <VanessaE> AAA: same stuff as before
[09:35] <Gnea> ennui: 'portable'?
[09:35] <bricky> Gnea: I will do that and then Ill let you know :)
[09:35] <AAA> VanessaE  your hw is b0rk
[09:35] <iceroot> ennui: any not from apple
[09:35] <Gnea> bricky: okay - just an FYI, I have to sleep soon
[09:35] <VanessaE> it scans the USB chips, loads the driver, enumerates the ports and hubs, and that's it.
[09:36] <IceGuest_75> i need help please
[09:36] <ennui> iceroot: yeah I have an iPod 6G and I can't get any alternate firmware to get it to play flac :(
[09:36] <vu1kan> gryllida in the apperances dialouge, if you hit customize on the theme tab, then hit the colors tab there's a 'windows' parameter...is that set to #FFFFFF?
[09:36] <Gnea> IceGuest_75: please explain your problem and someone will likely try to help
[09:36] <AAA> VanessaE  you can try and load some usb modules with debug, but it really sounds like you have bad hardward
[09:36] <bricky> Gnea: okay, well its downloading stuff so that's good
[09:36] <VanessaE> AAA: I was afraid you'd say that :(
[09:37] <bricky> from auto make and whatnot
[09:37] <Gnea> cool
[09:37] <AAA> VanessaE  does the mouse and the card reader work on other computers?
[09:37] <Gnea> unpacking the source now
[09:37] <IceGuest_75> okay, after a partial upgarde I no more able to install any software
[09:37] <EvilTrek> AAA: sorta there... one last issue: http://starfleet.pastebin.com/PsqTJ40K
[09:37] <adi__> #karo
[09:37] <VanessaE> AAA: yep.  I am using that very mouse now on this PC, and the card reader gets used every couple of days on my husband's box (both run Linux)
[09:37] <vu1kan> gryllida if that doesn't do it for ya, i dunno what would...you might wanna try re-asking the channel
[09:37] <AAA> VanessaE   *gasp* have you booted this laptop with windows and seen the usb stuff work?
[09:37] <abuayyoub> AAA, so " mencoder -i *.folder  ???
[09:38] <Malevolence> gryllida, Just right click desktop and set the background
[09:38] <abuayyoub> AAA, sorry I lost the last command you sent
[09:38] <VanessaE> AAA: no, I have not.  I don't suppose there's a Windows LiveCD out there somewhere? :)
[09:38] <VanessaE> G*d forbid I have to install that OS for any reason :)
[09:38] <vu1kan> Malevolence gryllida wants to set webpage backgrounds to white, do you maybe know where you would do that?
[09:39] <EvilTrek> VanessaE:  such things (Windows CDs that are free) are normally illegal.
[09:39] <AAA> abuayyoub  no, a for loop. if you just encode everything in the folder, you'll get one bit -o output.file. for i in files ; do mencoder --stuff ; done. it is a bit more complex than that, but that is the jist
[09:39] <vu1kan> VanessaE check out livecd.com(i think that's it...gonna check here)
[09:40] <VanessaE> EvilTrek, I know.  I already have legit copies (leftover from my husband's last days as a windows user)
[09:40] <Gnea> bricky: okay, I know my environment is setup correct, but I'm looking at the Makefile and it's so full of fail it's not even funny
[09:40] <meatbun> amazon down or just me
[09:40] <AAA> abuayyoub  for i in file ; do mencoder --options -o $file.convert ; done
[09:40] <EvilTrek> AAA: any ideas?  http://starfleet.pastebin.com/PsqTJ40K
[09:40] <DudeES> how can i change or assign file system while running Window7 setup through USB on Ubuntu based system?
[09:40] <AAA> abuayyoub  or -o $i.convert rather
[09:40] <vu1kan> meatbun check at http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com

[09:41] <AAA> EvilTrek  sorry, too late tonight for me to debug bash
[09:41] <c3l> how do I print physical discs?
[09:41] <EvilTrek> AAA: :(
[09:41] <bricky> Gnea: so that means, its a bunch of balogne?
[09:41] <EvilTrek> AAA: its only the first part that seems to be the issue... it reads the second part well.
[09:41] <sebsebseb> Gnea: Hey
[09:41] <meatbun> vu1kan: EvilTrek okl down for everyone
[09:42] <EvilTrek> anyone able to help me with bash debugging? http://starfleet.pastebin.com/PsqTJ40K
[09:42] <Gnea> bricky: no, broadcom just doesn't directly support it, and, as is usual when linux software is developed, things change that these companies can't keep up with, so they have to hire someone else and no one knows what's going on anymore
[09:42] <Gnea> sebsebseb: you any good with broadcom drivers?
[09:42] <AAA> EvilTrek  try to s/"/'
[09:42] <bricky> Gnea: Thanks for the help so its not totally my fault woohoo, thanks man, I have had plenty of fails
[09:43] <sebsebseb> Gnea: no
[09:43] <corpse> i just got a new router today, i have gotten most of my services working again except my ssh. when i try to log in via putty i get "server unexectedly closed the connection" and when i try to restart ssh i get "ssh: connect to host restart port 22: connection timed out"
[09:43] <Gnea> bricky: well, it can probably be worked around, I just don't have the time to do so right now, perhaps someone else around here does
[09:43] <EvilTrek> AAA: nope, still doing it, says "missing ] character"
[09:43] <Gnea> bricky: anyway, good luck :)
[09:43] <bricky> Gnea: Thanks alot
[09:43] <Gnea> sebsebseb: ah ok - gotta sleep
[09:43] <bricky> Have yourslef a good night
[09:43] <bricky> :)
[09:43] <Gnea> cheers
[09:44] <bricky> yup lol
[09:44] <VanessaE> well I think I better just put this down for the night.  I'm getting too tired to argue with this machine :-/
[09:44] <AAA> EvilTrek  I don't grok your 'grep =' syntax. try without the =. like $ grep ''
[09:45] <bricky> cheers
[09:45] <EvilTrek> AAA: nope same issue
[09:45] <VanessaE> night.
[09:45] <EvilTrek> AAA:  i'll ask in #bash
[09:45] <AAA> VanessaE  that laptop is possessed by demons I say!
[09:45] <EvilTrek> or ##linux
[09:45] <VanessaE> AAA: I hope not! :(
[09:45] <VanessaE> better to be possessed by daemons anyway.
[09:46] <VanessaE> :)
[09:46] <Malevolence> lol
[09:46] <sercik> hello!
[09:46] <sercik> it is possible to install gcc 3 ?
[09:46] <tweuer> hello
[09:46] <sercik> i can't find the package with apt-cache
[09:46] <AAA> EvilTrek  maybe if -x ? I'm guessing...
[09:46] <EvilTrek> AAA: hence why i'm asking in bash's channel
[09:48] <IceGuest_75> if i run sudo dpkg --configure -a i get error processing mysql server
[09:49] <TheExplorer> How do I stop X from starting on boot? Id like to be command line and decide between Xterm, XFCE, Gnome etc or TUI
[09:49] <MrEgg964> Hi all. As a non-privileged user, I cannot automount (in /media) a cdrom when inserted. Which group should I belong to for this to work? I tried being member of cdrom group, but it doesn't seem enough. Thanks.
[09:50] <indus> arunkumar413, any luck?
[09:51] <sercik> TheExplorer: you only need to disable autologin
[09:51] <tsimpson> MrEgg964: plugdev, which users are usually in by default
[09:51] <arunkumar413> indus: mailed the author of the program for help
[09:51] <AAA> MrEgg964  did you log out and log back in?
[09:51] <indus> arunkumar413, ya thats good
[09:51] <indus> arunkumar413, is he a jap?
[09:51] <TheExplorer> sercik, I mean I want my login propt to be commandline not GUI (GDM)
[09:52] <sercik> indeed you told how to choose from xfce gnoe etc etc
[09:52] <sercik> if you want commandline you could disable gdm in init.d
[09:52] <MrEgg964> tsimpson; AAA : yes, I did log out and back in. Am also part of plugdev. The cdrom does automount when I log in with my admin account.
[09:52] <indus> arunkumar413, its a qt app
[09:53] <indus> arunkumar413, give me that link again of the software
[09:53] <sercik> TheExplorer: try ctrl-alt-f1 then login and then sudo telinit 3
[09:53] <AAA> MrEgg964  what does this say? $ cat /etc/group|grep cdrom
[09:53] <arunkumar413> indus: http://www.suigyodo.com/online/e/index.htm
[09:54] <sercik> TheExplorer: in runlevel 3 graphic is not started by default ok?
[09:54] <AAA> MrEgg964  and are you able to sudo into root from that same account?
[09:54] <TheExplorer> sercik, i understand
[09:54] <TheExplorer> thankyou
[09:54] <indus> arunkumar413, according to the link, it says no compile needed
[09:54] <indus> arunkumar413, with the may 5 release
[09:54] <MrEgg964> AAA : cdrom:x:24:fred,philippe   --> fred is admin, philippe is user
[09:54] <arunkumar413> indus: its needed
[09:55] <arunkumar413> indus: without compiling how does it work
[09:55] <hypercity> isit posible to have mail notification in the memenu withbout evolution window opened?
[09:55] <kraut> moin
[09:55] <indus> arunkumar413, well the run time libs are included it says, so its an executable probably
[09:55] <Ssalif00> wireless keyboard won't work at GRUB level, won't let me choose available OS, HELP
[09:56] <MrEgg964> AAA: and here is my fstab entry : /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
[09:56] <appleseed> The answer to how to reconfigure Nvidia drivers in the shell is : sudo nvidia-xconfig  <--- that worked for me, thanks for all your help...
[09:56] <indus> arunkumar413, just have to move the runtime libs to folder or something , have you read that
[09:56] <arunkumar413> indus: may be it only works on windows
[09:56] <arunkumar413> indus: no
[09:56] <indus> arunkumar413, try
[09:56] <alexh10> So im having a problem with ubuntu lucid. with integrated intel graphics. something to do with the xserver. so should I downgrade to Ubuntu jaunty???
[09:56] <indus> arunkumar413, doesnt mention if its windows or linux
[09:56] <indus> arunkumar413, The runtime library included in this package doesn't need the installing process. After you copy the runtime library folders into the same folder as the executable files, BSch3V is ready to use. It is useful to carry the BSch3V environment in USB flash memory.
[09:57] <arunkumar413> indus: those run time libraries may work only on windows
[09:57] <indus> arunkumar413, maybe
[09:57]  * gryllida waves to EvilTreak and reads up
[09:57] <AAA> MrEgg964  and $ mount /media/cdrom0 as phillip doesn't work?
[09:57] <arunkumar413> indus: can u try for me.i have slow internet connection
[09:58] <gryllida> ok
[09:58] <indus> arunkumar413, lol ok
[09:58] <MrEgg964> AAA: Manual mount, you mean? I'll give that a try.
[09:58] <indus> arunkumar413, but the download is stuck for me
[09:58] <gryllida> so! how do I change bg color in lynx?
[09:58] <indus> arunkumar413, ill try at home latre on
[09:58] <arunkumar413> indus:ok
[09:58] <indus> arunkumar413, and update you tomorrow here
[09:59] <arunkumar413> indus
[09:59]  * indus hates compiling stuff :)
[09:59] <arunkumar413> indus: ok,thanks
[10:00] <EvilTrek> AAA: thanks for your help
[10:01] <AAA> EvilTrek  you beat. ctrl-a r <-- reattach in screen
[10:01] <MrEgg964> AAA: nope, it doesn't work. Maybe there is something wrong with the cd itself.
[10:02] <simion314> 11518
[10:02] <AAA> MrEgg964  anything useful in $ dmesg | tail -n20?
[10:03] <skoef> guys, i've update my kvm-host, and now my kvm-client suddenly has apt-get issues
[10:03] <indus> arunkumar413, maybe you are just missing some qt files
[10:03] <indus> arunkumar413, wait for answer from author
[10:03] <MrEgg964> AAA: not really. I'm doing this remotely, I can't actually see what kind of cd they've inserted into the drive.
[10:03] <arunkumar413> indus: ok
[10:03] <EvilTrek> AAA: i can easily ignore the "Attaching inside of screen?" thing, because that's not an issue.  Getting byobu to run was the big thing :)
[10:03] <skoef> in fact: my kvm-client has all sorts of network issues, and apt-get update segfaults
[10:03] <arunkumar413> indus: r u free now
[10:04] <indus> arunkumar413, yea why
[10:04] <MrEgg964> AAA: but what you're saying is, with cdrom and plugdev membership, I should be good to go, right?
[10:04] <AAA> MrEgg964  if you are remote, then ssh in and run that command
[10:04] <indus> !u
[10:04] <arunkumar413> indus: just for some pesonal chat
[10:04] <skoef> anyone ever experienced such a thing?
[10:04] <indus> i dont necessarily agree with that factoid
[10:04] <indus> arunkumar413, no sorry iam not
[10:04] <arunkumar413> indus: ok
[10:04] <AAA> EvilTrek  attaching inside of screen is typically a 'non error' it just means you are trying to attach the same screen session to you current screen
[10:05] <sebsebseb> skoef: Server Edition?
[10:05] <AAA> MrEgg964  I would think so yes. but if it is an audio cd you can't mount it
[10:06] <skoef> sebsebseb: yes, kvm-host is 32bits 8.04, kvm-client is 32bits 9.10
[10:06] <arunkumar413> indus: do you think a 16 bit processor can be used for word processing using linux kernel
[10:06] <skoef> also, the client complains about: kernel: [40713.005075] no vm86_info: BAD
[10:06] <sebsebseb> skoef: #ubuntu-server
[10:06] <skoef> sebsebseb: ok, thanks
[10:06] <MrEgg964> AAA: ok, thanks. I'll bring my own data cd with me next time I'm at the computer, and run the test there. Thanks for your time.
[10:06] <sebsebseb> skoef: np
[10:06] <indus> arunkumar413, lol no idea
[10:06] <AAA> arunkumar413  vim/emacs yes
[10:07] <indus> arunkumar413, trying to build something /?
[10:07] <Beelsebob> I'm having a bizzare issue with mysql
[10:07] <AAA> MrEgg964   good luck
[10:07] <Beelsebob> if I run sudo start mysqld, it fails to start properly
[10:07] <indus> arunkumar413, which processor is this
[10:07] <arunkumar413> indus: ya,an e-reader
[10:07] <Beelsebob> if I then run mysqld manually myself, it works
[10:07] <sebsebseb> skoef: try there
[10:07] <j800r> guys, does ubuntu have the same kde version in the repos as kubuntu. wanna try out kde again but would sooner install it on top of ubuntu rather than install a completely diff distro
[10:07] <iceroot> Beelsebob: error-messages are welcome
[10:07] <Beelsebob> subsequently to running mysqld myself, the server starts
[10:07] <iceroot> j800r: yes
[10:07] <arunkumar413> indus: for reading word,txt,doc,html files
[10:07] <sebsebseb> j800r: uhmm
[10:07] <Beelsebob> it leaves *nothing* in it's error.log
[10:07] <rww> j800r: yes, they use the same repositories
[10:07] <Beelsebob> nor in mysql.err
[10:08] <indus> arunkumar413, probably is enough
[10:08] <sebsebseb> j800r: Kubuntu is Ubuntu just with KDE instead
[10:08] <Beelsebob> iceberg: as I just said – no error messages
[10:08] <Beelsebob> just sudo start mysql hangs
[10:08] <iceroot> j800r: kubuntu is ubuntu with the package "kubuntu-desktop"
[10:08] <Beelsebob> until I run mysqld manually myself
[10:08] <sebsebseb> j800r: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[10:08] <j800r> ah, ok. thanks for that. i'm constantly torn between kde and gnome
[10:08] <gryllida> :)
[10:08] <sebsebseb> j800r: oh and I suggest KDM when it asks which log in screen to use, since its way better than GDM 2
[10:08] <iceroot> Beelsebob: use the binary not the service
[10:08] <indus> j800r, just keep in mind, the menu will be completely cluttered with both kde and gnome apps, i dont recommend it
[10:09] <Beelsebob> iceroot: useful...
[10:09] <AAA> Beelsebob  you can start mysql in debug mode and have it log to the terminal
[10:09] <indus> j800r, do a multi boot with either desktops
[10:09] <fishcooker> how to make automated cd installer ubuntu server installation without any prompt, anyone?
[10:09] <sebsebseb> j800r: indus is not giving good advice
[10:09] <Beelsebob> iceroot: as I just said – the problem is with the service, not mysqld
[10:09] <sebsebseb> j800r: no reason to dual boot Ubuntu and Kubuntu
[10:09] <iceroot> Beelsebob: sudo /usr/bin/mysqld (or where mysqld is stored
[10:09] <Beelsebob> mysqld starts if I run it myself
[10:09] <indus> sebsebseb, thanks
[10:09] <sebsebseb> j800r:  just have htem both installed, and log in to the one you want from the log in screen
[10:09] <Beelsebob> iceroot: again, for the third time – mysqld starts if I run it manually
[10:09] <iceroot> Beelsebob: ah ok didnt read that
[10:09] <Beelsebob> before I run it manually sudo start mysql doesn't work
[10:09] <AAA> Beelsebob  start it in debug with log to the term
[10:09] <Beelsebob> after I run it manually sudo start mysql does work
[10:10] <gryllida> j800r: you don't dual boot them, just install both gnome and kde gui packages and choose when logging on, they still share same kernel
[10:10] <sebsebseb> indus: dual boot is silly for that, a virtual machine on the other hand could be good,  since that way can run Gnome and KDE at the same time
[10:10] <Beelsebob> AAA: AGAIN! The problem is *not* with mysql – it's with upstart
[10:10] <gryllida> sebsebseb: hey, any idea how to change lynx webpages background to white, it
[10:10] <j800r> tbh, only reason i ever really kept comming back to gnome was for gwibber. but i think i have a way round that now
[10:10] <gryllida> s black now
[10:10] <iceroot> Beelsebob: sometimes its better to write everything in one line so we dont have to search for the usefull/important infos in the whole channel
[10:10] <sebsebseb> gryllida: uhmm?
[10:10] <AAA> Beelsebob  ah, sorry. sys v here. no hablo upstart :(
[10:10] <n3m3s1s4u> anyone know how to fix nvstor64.sys blue screen after installing ubuntu 10.04 on a windows 7 64 bit machine???
[10:11] <anodesni> I'm outside in the heat, my HDD becomes hot! hdparm is on 254. By setting it to 128 I have 90 load cycles per hour, too much. Can I fix this?
[10:11] <iceroot> n3m3s1s4u: ##windows
[10:11] <sebsebseb> j800r: you can run Gwibber in KDE as well, also there is a facebook  applet or whatever for KDE
[10:11] <gryllida> sebsebseb: I opened google.com in Lynx web browser, it has dark background :-(
[10:11] <j800r> is the ubuntu one store available in amarok as well or is it Rhythmbox or bust?
[10:11] <sebsebseb> j800r: Facebook has something social as well,  some sort of widget or whatever they are called in KDE
[10:11] <ddilinger> Beelsebob: so what happens? where does it get stuck?  does the mysql process ever get started, does the /etc/init.d/mysql script get run?  throw some debugging lines in there its all shell script :P
[10:11] <sebsebseb> gryllida: Lynx is text only, its meant to be black background, with white text
[10:11] <sebsebseb> gryllida: runs in terminal
[10:12] <ddilinger> although i always found lynx to be blah,  try w3m :)
[10:12] <gryllida>  sebsebseb, but the default for this terminal is black text, white backround
[10:12] <AAA> Gytis  links2 has graphix support
[10:12] <sebsebseb> j800r: only Rythombox,  and Banshee with another program
[10:12] <Beelsebob> ddilinger: sudo start mysql hangs, and does not start any mysqld process
[10:12] <sebsebseb> j800r: you can run those in KDE as well
[10:12] <ddilinger> Beelsebob: does it run the script /etc/init.d/mysql?
[10:12] <ddilinger> Beelsebob: does it start if you use /etc/init.d/mysql start instead of start mysql ?
[10:12] <indus> sebsebseb, what you said is another option , but read what i said before you comment, the menu clutter is a fact
[10:12] <j800r> can you still use ubuntu one music store via web browser alone?
[10:12] <sebsebseb> gryllida: uh I don't know, been quite a long while since I used Lynx
[10:13] <duxbuz> anyone help with Xwindows prob, cannot start x unless i run as sudo
[10:13] <Beelsebob> ddilinger: no, it says "oh hey, you should use the upstart script, not the init.d one"
[10:13] <indus> sebsebseb, a vm takes resources btw
[10:13] <sebsebseb> indus: having quite a lot in a menu, isn't really a big deal, for most of us :)
[10:13] <ddilinger> Beelsebob: typically they say that then start anyways
[10:13] <ddilinger> Beelsebob: its more of a info statement that an actual problem
[10:13] <AAA> sebsebseb  gryllida links2
[10:13] <j800r> i mean, if i could purchase and download through my browser i'd be perfectly happy
[10:13] <jozefk> this would delete last 22 lines of all html files in directory: sed -e :a -e '$d;N;2,22ba' -e 'P;D' *.html   but the change is not permanent. how can I make it permanent?
[10:13] <indus> sebsebseb, thats the plague called kde isnt it why people stick to gnome
[10:13] <sebsebseb> indus: no
[10:13] <indus> anyways moving on
[10:14] <gryllida> sebsebseb: I would find it good if there was a way to forbid any apps use non-default colors in Terminal at all, or find a pref in Lynx, I wasn't able to do either; but black background isn't a thing I can read though
[10:14] <ddilinger> Beelsebob: if you look through the /etc/init.d/mysqld script you can see its still a full start script
[10:14] <Beelsebob> ddilinger: well, the init.d script produces that output, *doesn't* hang, but also doesn't start mysqld
[10:14] <sebsebseb> indus: some like KDE, some like Gnome, some like other stuff like LXDE and XFCE
[10:14] <yoyoned> duxbuz: do you get an error message?
[10:14] <ddilinger> Beelsebob: hmm,
[10:14] <sebsebseb> indus: and people that use Ubuntu, use their edited Gnome, because thats what Ubuntu comes with
[10:14] <sebsebseb> indus: that will be the main reason for most users
[10:14] <gryllida>  sebsebseb: "edited" Gnome?
[10:14] <Chymera1> hi guys, how can I copy all the hidden files in my home dir to a backup folder without ~/. and ~/.. being pulled in as well
[10:14] <Chymera1> ?
[10:15] <duxbuz> yoyoned:  ye. dcopserver not running
[10:15] <sebsebseb> gryllida: yeah changes that aren't upstream here and there, in 10.04, will be even more in 10.10, and only a little bit in 9.04 and 9.10
[10:15] <ddilinger> gryllida: ubuntu customes their distribution, they dont just compile the released code
[10:15] <gryllida>  Chymera1: cd ../ <- do it several times to get out of home folder to a more topmost directory
[10:15] <duxbuz> it starts as sudo, tried changing file chmod on ICEAuthority and others mentioned
[10:16] <gryllida> ok sebsebseb
[10:16] <ddilinger> sebsebseb: but thats kinda the point of open source.  If you think you can do it better you can, if you think it only needs a tweak to be better you can do that too.
[10:16] <indus> never heard of an edited gnome before now
[10:16] <gryllida> :P
[10:16] <sebsebseb> gryllida:  ddilinger  Yeah Ubuntu developers are starting to do much more of their own thing with Gnome.
[10:16] <gryllida> indus ^
[10:16] <indus> sebsebseb, like what
[10:17] <ddilinger> it starts with integration
[10:17] <lfidarraga> hola?
[10:17] <sebsebseb> indus: see above, and if you don't understand, find out what upstream Gnome is, and how most other distros for the desktop do Gnome :D
[10:17] <j800r> tbh i like what Ubuntu are doing with Gnome, it's the only thing remotely attractive about it for me
[10:17] <c3l> whats the best tool for creating automatic backups on my external drive? rsync seems to be for remote syncs only
[10:17] <ddilinger> indus: starts with things like network configuration and whatnot that are not the same across distributions.  Then they find other little things they want to change :P)
[10:17] <AAA> Chymera1  rsync --exclude '~/.*' ~user/ /mnt/backup/user
[10:17] <ddilinger> c3l: rsync does local too
[10:18] <indus> ubuntu hardly changes gnome , i atleast havent seen it
[10:18] <sebsebseb> j800r: well they got to do something I suppouse, or people will lose interest in Ubuntu,  and Gnome hasn't changed that much since 2004
[10:18] <yoyoned> duxbuz: are you starting kde?
[10:18] <sebsebseb> indus: they have a lot in 10.04, but this is off topic,  however if you want to know the details pm
[10:18] <AAA> Chymera1  --exclude is the rsync arg you want, the other rsync params are very particlular
[10:18] <indus> sebsebseb, sure
[10:19] <raj> hey guys there there anyone who can help? I found the best WIFI driver for my wifi and i blacklisted everything else that interferes  however everytime to get my network going i have to type this: sudo modprobe rt2870sta WHy is that?
[10:19]  * j800r waits for kde to install
[10:19] <ubutom_> anyone using minitube? Can't skip through the videos with the slider, using 64 Bit, maybe a flash issue or is it generally not possible to seek with minitube?
[10:19] <ddilinger> raj: add that to /etc/modules
[10:19] <AAA> raj  I don't know. you can add it to /etc/modules and it will load at boot
[10:19] <ddilinger> raj:  echo rt2870sta >>/etc/modules as root
[10:20] <j800r> what is minitube? :\
[10:20] <ddilinger> make sure its a double >>
[10:20] <j800r> sounds like something you'd get on a phone
[10:20] <fishcooker> anyone any experience on installing ubuntu on 100pc... ?
[10:20] <raj> ddilinger:  how can i load it in modules?
[10:20] <ddilinger> raj: open up the file and look at it, it will be very obvious
[10:20] <fishcooker> i need to create cd installer, the automated one... without any prompt... or interactive mode
[10:20] <ubutom_> j800r, a youtube player in the repos
[10:21] <j800r> wow, never heard of that
[10:21] <j800r> i just watch youtube through chromium
[10:21] <fishcooker> :c
[10:22] <raj> ddilinger:  so i would add echo rt2870sta    on that page?
[10:22] <ddilinger> raj: did you read the text at the top of that file?
[10:22] <fishcooker> anyone?
[10:22]  * ddilinger always forgets people use linux with a gui and not the command line :P
[10:22] <AAA> raj  >> adds to a file. and you need to add that rt* line to the bottom of /etc/modules
[10:23] <AAA> ddilinger  d0h!
[10:23] <raj> ddilinger:  yes i did. but it doesnt tell you how to add it? what should i type in there?
[10:23] <ddilinger> raj: hmm, i thought it said something like 'Put the modules you want to load in this file 1 per line"
[10:23] <nmvictor> how do i download an entire website using wget?
[10:23] <AAA> mneptok  -r. man wget
[10:23] <ddilinger> raj: so just add a line and type in your module and save it, reboot should be all loaded without modprobe
[10:23] <AAA> nmvictor  -r. man wget
[10:24] <ddilinger> s/wget/aria2c/
[10:24] <ddilinger> if you have a fast network connection, aria2c much better :)
[10:24] <raj> ddilinger:  so you just add: rt2870sta    and then save and reboot?
[10:24] <AAA> ddilinger  better than curl?
[10:24] <ddilinger> raj: yup, on a line by itself
[10:24] <ddilinger> AAA: by far, aria2c does parallel downloads
[10:24] <ddilinger> AAA: either from same server, or multiple servers
[10:24] <AAA> ddilinger  hot
[10:25] <xmagixxx> can anyone help me with my microphone, it aint working in ubuntu, i can't select it in sound settings so i guess it's the driver
[10:25] <AAA> raj  any module listed on 1 line in /etc/module will be loaded on boot
[10:25] <DaHopi> hello, grub2 needs 10 seconds to boot after bios screen.. with grub1 i handt these problem..
[10:25] <ddilinger> AAA: you could point it at 10 mirrors for the same kernel source, and it will download from all of them in parallel, i can often get 4x the speed with aria2c (my net maxes as 2MB/sec though, if u have a slow connection might not be so noticable)
[10:25] <j800r> ok, time to boot into kde. catch you on the flipside
[10:25] <raj> ddilinger:  AAA  THANK YOU BOTH :)
[10:26] <haier> hello
[10:26] <AAA> ddilinger  so it handles files similar to a torrent then?
[10:26] <haier> exit
[10:26] <ddilinger> AAA: kinda, it also does torrents :)  and ftp, http, metalink, prob a few more
[10:27] <ddilinger> never tried using it for torrents though
[10:27] <AAA> raj  np. fyi, you can also put special module params to the drivers there. ex. thinkpad_acpi fancontrol=1  <-- you can find out all the special params by doing $ modinfo <module name>
[10:28] <raj> aaa thx
[10:28] <ubutom_> hhm, minitube just froze, seems to be something wrong here, will remove the config files :)
[10:28] <nmvictor> I have a dream, that one day, computer users will judge and preffer an OS by its content and attributions and not by the time it has been around, fooling and monopolizing the entire market. I HATE WINDOWS!!!!!
[10:28] <raj> AAA:  thank you this means i can get 150 MBPS bit rate? on this N?
[10:29] <ddilinger> nmvictor: linux is about as old as windows, of course DOS is a little older
[10:29] <AAA> raj  that is another discussion. my first thought is to try : $ rmmod <mod> && modprobe <mod> special=foo
[10:30] <nmvictor> ddilinger: i certainly meant around and doing good in the market
[10:30] <KriSkoo>  :)  i luv my win 7 cuz all games and programs are make for windows not mac os not linux
[10:30] <raj> AAA i only get 54M on an N network and N card :S
[10:30] <KriSkoo> but linux and mac r more secure
[10:30] <ddilinger> nmvictor: hmm, i guess it depends on the market, i had a linux box before win95 came out.  linux was certainly big back then but only online
[10:31] <AAA> raj  if there are special ways to modprobe your driver that will give you more speed, then try it! and check $ dmesg afterwards
[10:31] <ddilinger> nmvictor: i guess the difference is noone else but me at my school knew what online was at the time :P
[10:31] <raj> AAA thank you
[10:31] <nmvictor> Gnome 2.30.2 is out, wow
[10:32] <zoidberg-> /win/win 57
[10:32] <AAA> krafty  linux and mac are NOT more secure. It's just that the vulerabilites require more thought than the average kiddie can provide...
[10:32] <indus> nmvictor, whats diff in that
[10:32] <sebsebseb> nmvictor: I guess 10.10 will be using something like that, since they aren't going to do Gnome 3 by default.
[10:33] <unsequitur> sebsebseb: I don't see a Gnome 3 adoption even in 11.04, to be hoest
[10:33] <unsequitur> *honest
[10:33] <sebsebseb> unsequitur: from what I read it seems, they will use 11.04 and 11.10 to get Gnome 3 ready for the 12.04 LTS
[10:33] <ddilinger> krafty: it also comes down to market share.  If your trying to build a giant botnet you can get 100x more clients by writing a win virus than a macos one
[10:34] <indus> we need a new environment
[10:34] <tsimpson> !ot
[10:34] <unsequitur> sebsebseb: Well, IMO, I find the pilosophy behind the GNOME shell to be a little confusing
[10:34] <AAA> sebsebseb  I thought I was hearing, just the other day, that ubuntu and gnome releases were darn near in sync
[10:34] <unsequitur> sebsebseb: The upheaval in terms of code is huge as well
[10:34] <xmagixxx> can anyone help me with my microphone, it aint working in ubuntu
[10:34] <Joshmuffin> can anyone help me i cant boot 2 of my 3 partitions - grub2
[10:34] <unsequitur> AAA: In the sense? 6 month release cycles?
[10:35] <unsequitur> xmagixxx: onboard?
[10:35] <abhi_nav> hello
[10:35] <AAA> unsequitur  yes, that seem to 'sync' to one another
[10:35] <nmvictor> what options can i pass to wget so that it does not try to download a file it already downloaded if the download is interupted? It wastes time waiting for wget to try download 100 files it already downloaded
[10:35] <Joshmuffin> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9503735#post9503735
[10:35] <AAA> nmvictor  man wget
[10:35] <xmagixxx> unsequitur, yes and ubuntu 10.04
[10:35] <unsequitur> nmvictor: wget incirporates it already if the download if not interrupted by you

[10:38] <ddilinger> nmvictor: yea, but it cant hurt to type man wget then '/continue' to search for continue download
[10:39] <ubun7u> it just hangs
[10:39] <ubun7u> nothing shows up

[10:41] <ubun7u> can i make some changes to the hd files?
[10:41] <ubun7u> so that it would boot up normally

[10:42] <ubun7u> tell me more
[10:43] <ubun7u> plz i dont want to do a fresh install
[10:43] <abhinesh> at first restart system
[10:43] <ddilinger> ubun7u: whats the last thing it says when booting?
[10:43] <abhinesh> use root->restart
[10:43] <AAA> ubun7u  is this an SLC or MLC drive?
[10:43] <ddilinger> i think its a nortmal HD, he said 160G
[10:44] <ubun7u> SLC?
[10:44] <ubun7u> sata
[10:44] <AAA> ubun7u  ok, not slc
[10:44] <AAA> or maybe
[10:44] <ubun7u> ddilinger it just initializes virtual network drivers
[10:44] <ubun7u> then just hangs
[10:45] <ubun7u> abhinash i am on a live cd

[10:45] <ubun7u> i am on livecd
[10:45] <Joshmuffin> Grub2 - You must load kernel first error, anyone willing to help - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9503735#post9503735
[10:46] <AAA> ubun7u  on livecd and it will not reboot after finishing install? or?
[10:46] <ddilinger> br33zie: whats it say when you try and start?
[10:46] <ubun7u> no installed already working fine
[10:46] <br33zie> i get the error, fsck /home [376] terminated with status 8
[10:47] <AAA> ubun7u  installed fine. then your question?
[10:47] <br33zie> an error occured while mounting /home ddillinger
[10:47] <ddilinger> br33zie: hmm, try booting into single user mode and running a manual fsck
[10:47] <ubun7u> after i pressed power button it doesnt reboot
[10:47] <ddilinger> br33zie: to boot single user append " 1" to your kernel options in grub
[10:47] <ubun7u> AAA is there a way to make it boot nstead of resume
[10:48] <txwsqk> excuse , who knows any other software about web camera ?
[10:48] <fishcooker> cheese
[10:48] <fishcooker> txwsqk
[10:49] <fishcooker> apt-get install cheese
[10:49] <AAA> ubun7u  if you want to make your computer reboot do this $ shutdown -h now :: to reboot $ shutdown -r now
[10:49] <txwsqk> except cheese ?
[10:49] <yoyoned> txwsqk: you can also use vlc
[10:49] <AAA> ubun7u  $ halt <--- will also stop your computer  $ reboot <--- will reboot your box
[10:49] <ubun7u> but how can i boot again
[10:49] <Ssalif00> wireless keyboard won't work at GRUB level, won't let me choose available OS, HELP
[10:49] <ubun7u> i cant login to ubuntu
[10:50] <ddilinger> aaa: dont think thats the problem, i dont understand fully but it seems if he tries to boot from the HD instead of the live CD hes on right now the system just hangs
[10:50] <AAA> ubun7u  press the power button.  sometimes you need to hold it for 2seconds
[10:50] <br33zie> ddilinger: dont i just hold shift while booting up?
[10:50] <ddilinger> br33zie: to get single user mode?  i have no clue about shift, but appending " 1" to the kernel options has worked for about 15 years :)
[10:51] <ubun7u> i am on live cd
[10:51] <AAA> ddilinger  like grub isn't installed proper?
[10:51] <ubun7u> i cant do anything
[10:51] <br33zie> let me try hold on
[10:51] <abhi_nav> reinstall grub
[10:51] <ddilinger> AAA: not sure, i havn't been able to determine what actually is wrong, besides that his system will only boot from the live cd
[10:51] <AAA> ubun7u  does the install complete?
[10:51] <br33zie> wait, what do i do again after getting into singlue user mode
[10:51] <br33zie> what command do i run in terminal?
[10:51] <Joshmuffin> ubun7u, when you reboot can you get to login screen? where you type your name and password?
[10:51] <ddilinger> br33zie: when you boot in single user mode it will drop you straight to a root console, no X or anything like that
[10:52] <ddilinger> br33zie: from in there you want to run the fsck program against the hard drive partition that has /home on it
[10:52] <br33zie> what command do i run
[10:52] <AAA> br33zie  depends on what you're debuging?
[10:52] <br33zie> how can i make sure its the right partition
[10:52] <neo_> สวัสดีครับ
[10:52] <br33zie> what's the command to list all the partions
[10:52] <br33zie> partitions
[10:52] <neo_> คนไทยขอเสีย
[10:53] <ddilinger> br33zie: well, the thing is it wont be mounted yet
[10:53] <jkalex05> what i like about ubuntu
[10:53] <abhi_nav> br33zie, fsck
[10:53] <txwsqk> yoyonde  vlc  seems  a media player
[10:53] <br33zie> AAA -- can't boot into my parition, an error occured while mounting /home
[10:53] <jkalex05> is i can access my files in my partiton for vindows
[10:53] <abhi_nav> ubun7u, reinstall grub
[10:53] <ddilinger> br33zie: to see which drives map where you should be able to check '/etc/fstab'
[10:54] <Beelsebob> I've installed php5-gmp, but php is still exploding at gmp_init() with "undefined function"
[10:54] <Tony_Harrison> anyone got ubuntu dual booting with arch linux?
[10:54] <ddilinger> br33zie: although typically that has UUID's instead of disk numbers, have to use /dev/disk/by-uuid/{uuid}
[10:54] <Beelsebob> anyone know how to *really* get php5-gmp?
[10:54] <ddilinger> whats the -gmp?
[10:54] <damian> Beelsebob, did you restart apache2?
[10:54] <Joshmuffin> Grub2 - ERROR: You must load kernel first, anyone willing to help
[10:54] <Beelsebob> damian: the install script said it did it, but I can try it again
[10:55] <br33zie> i did sudo fdisk -l
[10:55] <damian> i never trust the installers, always do it manually
[10:55] <abhi_nav> Tony_Harrison, whats the probloem? which os you installed first and which you installed second?
[10:55] <AAA> br33zie  sounds like a uuid mismatch. are you booted to a shell? can you mount stuff manual?
[10:55] <br33zie> ok it's /dev/sda6
[10:55] <Beelsebob> damian: ah, success… weird that the earlier restart didn't work
[10:56] <mooseburger> I am upgrading to 10.04 and got this error: "GRUB installation failed. Continue?" There is a checkbox beside this statement, and te back button is grayed out, there's only the forward option no matter if I tick the box or not. Should I just close the window to abort the install?
[10:56] <damian> Beelsebob, maybe you restarted it in your head, but not on the machine :P
[10:56] <abhi_nav> !pm | Ssalif00
[10:57] <br33zie> so i drop into single user mode and type in fsck /dev/sda6
[10:57] <Joshmuffin> he did post it in the channel, no one answered him...
[10:57] <abhi_nav> Joshmuffin, you are talking about Ssalif00 ?
[10:57] <Joshmuffin> yeah
[10:57] <AAA> br33zie  look in /dev/disk/by-uuid/ and see if they match fstab
[10:57] <ddilinger> ssalif00: beyond that if your keyboard doesn't work in grub thats a bios issue, you have to configure your bios to use usb keyboard or something
[10:58] <ddilinger> Ssalif00: grub doesn't really do any hardware interfacing, it just talks to the bios IIRC
[10:58] <abhi_nav> Joshmuffin, but still its not the way to pm anyone unknown directly? Wht if I give him wrong info? and hack him? tell him to ask here only
[10:58] <ddilinger> hmm, thats not a bad idea.  Make some fake packages and encourage people to install them via pm :P
[10:58] <Joshmuffin> abhi_nav, I'm not saying he should PM, I'm just saying he did post in channel
[10:58] <br33zie> i am noob, so do i cd into dev/sda and ls?
[10:58] <abhi_nav> Joshmuffin, its ok :)
[10:59] <Joshmuffin> :D
[10:59] <AAA> br33zie  ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/
[10:59] <red2kic> ddilinger: Please check your PM. I have uploaded cool screensavers for you to use! ;)

[10:59] <eitreach> Is it possible to search for words or phrases in the logs of this channel somehow? I know of a conversation that has taken place, but I can't remember when  - and with the web-interface, I only know how to read logs of each day.
[10:59]  * red2kic jots down all UUID numbers
[11:00] <Joshmuffin> pastebin please!!!
[11:00] <AAA> br33zie  those should show you links to sda{1,2,3,4,etc) stuff. match that against your /etc/fstab
[11:00] <br33zie> ok, hold on
[11:00] <AAA> eitreach  /lastlog <search term>
[11:01] <red2kic> eitreach: Sure. "grep married ~/.lolclient/logs"
[11:01] <Joshmuffin> br33zie, please use http://ubuntu.pastebin.com to paste large things into the chat
[11:01] <br33zie> will do so
[11:01] <eitreach> AAA, thanks. :)
[11:01] <abhi_nav> eitreach, the channel is publicaly logged ask someone where
[11:01] <Ssalif00> u r scaring me guys seriously
[11:02] <ddilinger> http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[11:02] <AAA> eitreach  :) /<command name> help :)
[11:03] <ddilinger> of course, the data at irclogs.ubuntu.com is raw, but it shouldn't be hard to grab the relevant logs and grep them
[11:03] <Godfather_> how can i share my printer to my lan? i've just installed cups and it works on localhost
[11:03] <br33zie> guys could you help me out? i did gedit /mnt/root/etc/fstab and got nothing in the file
[11:03] <AAA> eitreach  d0h. /help <command name>
[11:03] <abhi_nav> Ssalif00, dont get scare. its ok :) what is your question? it is like that is someone know answer then only they will answer. thats why
[11:04] <OpenSourcedNick> Hello, I want to auto-rsync git projects with the exception of the .git libraries, how do I do that?
[11:04] <ddilinger> Ssalif00: if its about the wireless keyboard, that has to be configured with your motherboards bios.  GRUB doesn't actually talk with the keyboard it asks the bios what came from the keyboard
[11:04] <br33zie> what do you reckon i do now
[11:04] <AAA> like :: how to I change the font siZe in gnome-terminal?
[11:04] <bosky101> hi, i added a user via 'useradd tempuser -p tempp' ,added the user to sshd_config. But i'm not able to login/ssh tempuser with password as tempp. how do i login ?
[11:05] <bosky101> it says authentication failed
[11:05] <AAA> bosky101  details please
[11:05] <defile> AAA, edit your terminal profile
[11:05] <AAA> eitreach  nope ;)
[11:05] <Ssalif00> thanx , got u dddilinger
[11:05] <defile> AAA, Edit --> Profiles
[11:06] <br33zie> AAA looks like i can view my files on my home partition using the live cd (just checked) but some folders have the x cross on them
[11:06] <Ssalif00> see guys
[11:06] <ddilinger> AAA: use konsole :P  zoom in/out mapped to ctrl + and ctrl -
[11:06] <AAA> defile  hehe, ctrl-shift{-,+}
[11:06] <AAA> example question!
[11:06] <bosky101> AAA i've locked myself out of a machine where the only ssh allowed user is tempuser. when creating the user all i did was 'useradd tempuser -p tempp'. when i try loggin in, it says authentication failed.
[11:06] <br33zie> lost and found folder in /home has cross mark on it (X)
[11:07] <ubun7u> hello guys
[11:07] <br33zie> can i repair it through live cd?
[11:07] <defile> AAA, I'm not sure if that is persistant
[11:07] <ubun7u> it cant boot
[11:07] <br33zie> unmounting
[11:07] <br33zie> and then repairing iot?
[11:07] <AAA> booi  that user needs ssh rights. gimme a sec
[11:07] <ubun7u> it just initializes network drivers
[11:07] <abhi_nav> ubun7u, reinstall grub
[11:07] <ubun7u> then it just hangs
[11:07] <ubun7u> how?
[11:07] <AAA> defile  no, but fatfinger proof ;) the terminal settings are, you are correct. I was just posing an example question :)
[11:08] <ddilinger> br33zie: actually yea, you should be able to fsck it directly from the live cd
[11:08] <ubun7u> from live cd can i install to hard disk
[11:08] <bosky101> AAA, or on a terminal please try 'useradd tempuser -p abcd' . try loggin in with tempuser now.
[11:08] <defile> AAA, ah, sorry was flipping between channels
[11:08] <AAA> bschrock  pretty sure you want adduser
[11:08] <ubun7u> anyone can help me plz
[11:08] <administrator__> hello
[11:09] <Joshmuffin> ubun7u, whats the problem
[11:09] <AAA> bosky101  pretty sure you want adduser vs. useradd
[11:09] <eitreach> AAA, how do I download the entire thing for.. say, 2010?
[11:09] <ubun7u> my ubuntu wont reboot
[11:09] <ubun7u> it hangs
[11:09] <jkalex05> sucks
[11:09] <br33zie> ok i unmounted the partition using unmount /dev/sda6 and then tried to check using sudo fsck /dev/sda6
[11:09] <bosky101> AAA, --password is supposed to be encrypted. so now do i try to login with decrypt(abcd) ? . no ive already used useradd.
[11:09] <ddilinger> eitreach: a couple lines of python/php/perl should do the trick
[11:09] <Joshmuffin> ubun7u, where does it hang?
[11:09] <ubun7u> after instializzing a few drivers
[11:09] <br33zie> /dev/sda6: clean, 3725/10272768 files, 1032911/41066148 blocks
[11:09] <abhi_nav> ubun7u, which versino you are using?
[11:09] <AAA> eitreach  the entire what?
[11:09] <br33zie> it says it's clean
[11:09] <ubun7u> lucid
[11:09] <br33zie> what do i do now?
[11:09] <jkalex05> ubun7u how did you install
[11:09] <ubun7u> from usb
[11:09] <eitreach> AAA, the entire section of logs for 2010.
[11:10] <ubun7u> it worked fine
[11:10] <ddilinger> br33zie: it says its clean?  hmm, go ahead and give it a reboot
[11:10] <AAA> bosky101  useradd and adduser do 2 different things, fyi
[11:10] <br33zie> ok
[11:10] <br33zie> let me try that real fast
[11:10] <ubun7u> then i pressed pwer button to reboot
[11:10] <ddilinger> eitreach: the easiest way will be a short script to spit out all the numbers, basically just walk through the days of the year and spit out a url for each
[11:10] <AAA> eitreach  with wget? isn't -R the recursive spider option?
[11:10] <ubun7u> now it hangs no splash screen
[11:10] <bosky101> AAA, alright. but i happened to do 'useradd tempuser -p abcd' . how do i now login via tempuser
[11:10] <ddilinger> eitreach: then feed that url list into wget or something.  a recursive wget might do the trick to
[11:10] <Joshmuffin> ubun7u, powerbutton as in the button on the computer itself?
[11:10] <jkalex05> ubun7u splash screen like the purple ubuntu screen?
[11:11] <ubun7u> yes
[11:11] <ubun7u> yes
[11:11] <AAA> bosky101  su <user>
[11:11] <ubun7u> nothing shows up
[11:11] <jkalex05> strange
[11:11] <AAA> bosky101  or use the gdm/x login
[11:11] <ddilinger> eitreach: be carefull with the recursive wget though, irclogs.ubuntu.com has prob a hundred channels loged not just this one :)
[11:11] <abhi_nav> ubun7u, might this help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[11:11] <eitreach> AAA, haven't tried something like this before, so.. :) I'll try wget though.
[11:11] <jkalex05> probably a driver that conflicted
[11:11] <jkalex05> with the os
[11:11] <abhi_nav> ubun7u, http://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=reinstall+grub+ubuntu&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
[11:11] <jkalex05> are you dualbooting
[11:11] <ddilinger> eitreach: howabout google?  use "site:irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010" as the begining of the search
[11:11] <AAA> eitreach  not sure what it is you're doing dude
[11:11] <jkalex05> ya you are
[11:11] <jkalex05> id recommend deleting whatever os you have and just install ubuntu by itself
[11:11] <ubun7u> no dual boot
[11:12] <m1r> anyone familiar with: "hda intel spurious response" error on system startup ?
[11:12] <jkalex05> ubuntu gets kinda jealous
[11:12] <ubun7u> no dual boot
[11:12] <Joshmuffin> has ubun7u corrupted by force shutting down posiblee?
[11:12] <jkalex05> probably
[11:12] <jkalex05> id reinstall
[11:12] <ubun7u> might be i dont knw
[11:12] <jkalex05> try again
[11:12] <eitreach> AAA, There's been rumours about trash talk in the main ubuntu-dk support channel, so.. I'm looking into it. :)
[11:12] <jkalex05> format the hd and all
[11:12] <ubun7u> reinstall again?
[11:12] <ubun7u> no no
[11:12] <eitreach> ddilinger, ah.. so that's how to use that. Thanks.
[11:12] <ubun7u> thts why i am asking for an alternate
[11:12] <bosky101> AAA, i am now locked out the node. since i am ssh'ing, what password could i use to login?
[11:12] <jkalex05> ubun7u if your stuck on splash screen
[11:13] <jkalex05> there isnt much you can do but reinstall
[11:13] <Joshmuffin> ubun7u, id agree with jkalex05 this time to restart press the button in the top right hand corner
[11:13] <ubun7u> i would lose my data
[11:13] <AAA> bosky101  the account/pass you used to install ubuntu
[11:13] <ubun7u> no splash screen also
[11:13] <AAA> bosky101  but ssh is not enabled by default. if you didn't turn on ssh, it is not running
[11:14] <Joshmuffin> ubun7u, salvage it while booted on liveusb
[11:14] <bosky101> AAA, it was root. but root is not in AllowUsers of sshd_config.
[11:14] <jkalex05> ya liveusb that shit
[11:14] <ubun7u> any other option plz
[11:14] <jkalex05> but you probably dont have a big enoough hd right
[11:14] <jkalex05> there are no other optionsman
[11:14] <Joshmuffin> ubun7u, try kicking the computer?
[11:14] <AAA> bosky101  do you have access to the ssh server? does $ netstat -lnt | grep 22 show anything?
[11:15] <ubun7u> why would it corrupt?
[11:15] <ubun7u> i did nothing unusual
[11:15] <jkalex05> cause you rebooted during hardware install
[11:15] <ubun7u> just like everyday
[11:15] <AAA> ubun7u  data corupts
[11:15] <Joshmuffin> because force shutdowns are the devil
[11:15] <ubun7u> omg i didnt
[11:15] <jkalex05> lie
[11:15] <jkalex05> lies
[11:15] <Joshmuffin> lier
[11:15] <jkalex05> ubuntu would be fine
[11:15] <jkalex05> if you didnt
[11:15] <FloodBot3> jkalex05: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:15] <ubun7u> not during hardware install
[11:16] <jkalex05> ubuntu just doesnt randomly stop working
[11:16] <Joshmuffin> ubun7u, your only home is to chuck your computer at a wall
[11:16] <ubun7u> why force shutdown shouldnt be done if it hangs
[11:16] <jkalex05> no
[11:16] <LjL> why do i get the feeling this channel is being particularly unhelpful right now
[11:16] <ubun7u> isnt there a way around it
[11:16] <jkalex05> because it can be updating the os while its restarting
[11:16] <AAA> LjL  because you haven't asked any questions?
[11:16] <jkalex05> unfortunately no
[11:16]  * abhi_nav agrees with LjL
[11:16] <LjL> AAA: well, i have no questions. i'm just seeing what's going on.
[11:17]  * jkalex05 snorts another line of cocaine
[11:17] <jkalex05> whats the next question
[11:17] <LjL> jkalex05: that is not appropriate
[11:17] <Joshmuffin> Grub2 - ERROR: You must load kernel first, anyone willing to help
[11:17] <bosky101> AAA, no im logged out and trying to access the node again via root or tempuser. only tempuser exists in sshd_config's AllowUsers. and tempuser's password was set using 'useradd tempuser -p tempp', so i dont know what's real password is.
[11:17] <jkalex05> joshmuffin the problem is you have grub2
[11:17] <jkalex05> use grub
[11:17] <Joshmuffin> bit late for that
[11:17] <LjL> jkalex05: GRUB2 is the currently supported bootloader under Ubuntu
[11:17] <bosky101> AAA, any option to reisntalling ubuntu ?
[11:17] <ubun7u> jesus plz help me
[11:18] <Joshmuffin> jkalex05, your problem is a drug addiction:)
[11:18] <AAA> bosky101  reinstall is not needed here
[11:18] <abhi_nav> Joshmuffin, follow instrucion on grub2 wiki page. you have to uprade grub2 using some command
[11:18] <Joshmuffin> ubun7u, jesus isnt real
[11:18] <Joshmuffin> abhi_nav, i know
[11:18] <jkalex05> cocaine is a hell of a drug
[11:18] <eitreach> jesus is out of town. will return with second coming.
[11:18] <Joshmuffin> abhi_nav, i did
[11:18] <abhi_nav> Joshmuffin, hmm ok
[11:18] <eitreach> says so on his front door.
[11:18] <LjL> !offtopic | jkalex05, eitreach
[11:18] <Joshmuffin> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9503735#post9503735
[11:18] <jkalex05> i uninstalled grub2 and put on grub on lucid
[11:18] <bosky101> AAA, but i'm not able to login via root ( since it's not in sshd_config ) and im not able to login via the only other user tempuser, becaue it's pasword was not set. : /
[11:19] <AAA> bosky101  do you have physical access to the ssh server? do you have an account named tempuser on the remote computer?
[11:19] <ubun7u> is there any file that could be changed
[11:19] <jkalex05> its probably a driver
[11:19] <Joshmuffin> ubun7u, im sorry bro but there is no other option
[11:20] <jkalex05> reformat and install
[11:20] <bosky101> AAA, its on a hosting providers on another continent and physical is the last option. there is account called tempuser on the remote machine created through 'useradd tempuser -p tempp'
[11:20] <LjL> ubun7u, can you summarize what happened for me?
[11:20] <ubun7u> yes
[11:20] <Ssalif00> thanx ddilinger :) u r the man
[11:20] <jkalex05> linux isnt like windows you cant just do a restore to yesterday if you fux it up
[11:20] <bosky101> AAA, but im not able to ssh with tempuser@node with tempp. authentication failed.
[11:20] <ddilinger> jkalex05: depends on the backups you keep :P
[11:20] <ubun7u> i pressed the power while my ubuntu was resarting bcoz it took time
[11:20] <ubun7u> the i rebstarted again
[11:21] <jkalex05> basically he raped his os in the ass
[11:21] <ddilinger> jkalex05: a copy of /etc along with dpkg --get-selections and you can pretty much get it all back(not counting user settings)
[11:21] <jkalex05> and now it wont boot
[11:21] <ubun7u> but it just hangs after initializing couple drivers
[11:21] <LjL> !language | jkalex05, stop being inappropriate like that
[11:21] <unsequitur> jkalex05: You can take snapshots of your hard disk if you want to restore
[11:21] <zaaj> ubun7u - ever try SpinRite?  Commercial app, but if it's a physical problem with the HD...
[11:21] <jkalex05> not if you cant load
[11:21] <jkalex05> it
[11:21] <unsequitur> kmandla: Where's the blog?
[11:21] <LjL> ubun7u: were you doing anything special when you rebooted? installing upgrades, something?
[11:21] <AAA> doleyb_  you will need either a) give a passwd to tempuser b) have tempuser access on the server to edit ~/.ssh/identity
[11:21] <jkalex05> LjL he was updating drivers
[11:21] <ubun7u> no
[11:22] <ubun7u> no upgrade
[11:22] <unsequitur> jkalex05: DVD's, external media
[11:22] <ubun7u> upto date
[11:22] <LjL> ubun7u: have you tried booting into recovery mode?
[11:22] <ubun7u> yes
[11:22] <AAA> bosky101  tempuser either needs a passwd or an ssh rsa/dsa key for auth
[11:22] <ddilinger> jkalex05: you can always load it, i loaded ubuntu onto a netbook with only a network cable and another PC
[11:22] <LjL> ubun7u: have you tried booting with the init=/bin/bash kernel option?
[11:22] <OpenSourcedNick> any ideas for a public SSH server for me to run a test on?
[11:22] <Joshmuffin> ubun7u, is english your first language? if your finding it hard to comunicate try a regional ubuntu channel
[11:23] <jkalex05> lol josh
[11:23] <jkalex05> thats preety dick
[11:23] <zaaj> ubun7u - have you tried booting to a Live CD and running fsck?
[11:23] <ubun7u> LjL how would i do that
[11:23] <iceroot> OpenSourcedNick: install a local one
[11:23] <OpenSourcedNick> iceroot: one win?
[11:23] <ddilinger> jkalex05: was actualy quite impressed by the time i was done, network bootstrapping the install process :)
[11:23] <OpenSourcedNick> iceroot: on win?
[11:23] <iceroot> OpenSourcedNick: cygwin
[11:23] <ubun7u> i can brose my whole diskon livecd
[11:23] <Joshmuffin> jkalex05, shout us a line?
[11:23] <iceroot> OpenSourcedNick: linux-live-cd, virtualbox
[11:24] <jkalex05> ubun7u you might wanna try windows
[11:24] <OpenSourcedNick> iceroot: installed - cygwin doesn't have sudo and stuff
[11:24] <LjL> ubun7u: well, in your GRUB menu, you need to edit your kernel command line and add init=/bin/bash on the line where it also says "quiet" among other things. i cannot be much more specific because i've only used GRUB 1, not GRUB 2
[11:24] <jkalex05> that might work for you
[11:24] <ddilinger> zaaj: yea we tried that,  fsck came up clean
[11:24] <iceroot> OpenSourcedNick: then use a live-cd or a vm
[11:24] <LjL> ubun7u: are you on the same computer you have ubuntu on now? (i ask to know whether you can stay on irc while rebooting and trying stuff)
[11:24] <ubun7u> yes
[11:24] <ddilinger> OpenSourcedNick: a VM is prob your best bet.  You can fit a linux VM in a tiny ammount of memory if you dont need X
[11:24] <ubun7u> on live cd
[11:24] <Joshmuffin> ubun7u, maybe use a typewriter instead of a computer, there easier to opperate
[11:25] <jkalex05> rofl
[11:25] <OpenSourcedNick> http://wubi-installer.org how about that?
[11:25] <ubun7u> whatever
[11:25] <LjL> Joshmuffin, jkalex05: stop trolling.
[11:25] <abhi_nav> अभी मै पक रहा हु
[11:25] <LjL> ubun7u: please ignore these two
[11:25] <Joshmuffin> Sorry
[11:25] <Joshmuffin> ill stop
[11:25] <jkalex05> im just playing
[11:25] <Joshmuffin> i got a bit carried away
[11:25] <LjL> this is not a channel for "playing"
[11:25] <ubun7u> i need some help and people keep laughing
[11:25] <Ssalif00> does anyone know an equivalent  to ultravpn used in windows?
[11:25] <jkalex05> ubun7u try running fsck
[11:25] <zaaj> OpenSourcedNick: google "Free Shell Account"
[11:26] <jkalex05> if your using live cd on the pc having issues
[11:26] <ddilinger> OpenSourcedNick: you just want a test ssh server,  a virtual machine is as easy as it gets
[11:26] <lost_> i want to manually rebuild the nvidia binary driver kernel module. how to do so ?
[11:26] <ddilinger> OpenSourcedNick: your virtual machine doesn't even need the install process run, it can boot a livecd
[11:26] <LjL> ubun7u: well, i'm not laughing. the last part is actually good advice anyway, you can try a manual fsck to see if the filesystem got corrupted
[11:26] <ennui> can anyone suggest an application for changing fan speeds? I'm on a macbook and its getting a bit toasty...
[11:26] <iceroot> OpenSourcedNick: www.virtualbox.org
[11:26] <ddilinger> lost_: hmm, never tried to do it manually, does it not work through the nvidia installer?
[11:26] <Joshmuffin> ubun7u, what does it get stuck on exactly
[11:26] <OpenSourcedNick> ddilinger: thanks. I just want to run something before I do it on the DEV server and I don't want to feel silly (don't have direct access to it so I have to try)
[11:26] <jkalex05> joshmuffin he is stuck on ubuntu splash screen
[11:27] <zaaj> lost_ are you running a driver that came with an install script?
[11:27] <Joshmuffin> jkalex05, as in the purple and yellow ubuntu splash thingy
[11:27] <ubun7u> it initialized couple of virtual netowk drivers then nothing blank screen
[11:27] <Malevolence> ennui for now just suspend and resume and the fan will kick in on high
[11:27] <jkalex05> ya
[11:27] <lost_> ddil : it says something like sh nvidia* -k but i am unsure
[11:27] <ddilinger> Joshmuffin: i beleive a while back he mentioned fsck errored out and returned 8 as its exit code, which is why we started at fsck
[11:27] <AAA> ennui  fancontrol and acpitools. not sure about mac compat
[11:27] <jkalex05> ubun7u seems like you corrupted your os
[11:27] <jkalex05> that restart probably did it
[11:28] <jkalex05> infact im preety sure thats whats caused it
[11:28] <Joshmuffin> ubun7u, what are you worried about loosing from reinstalling? you can back everything up very easily
[11:28] <lost_> zaaj yes but the script failed to load
[11:28] <ddilinger> lost_: so the nvidia installer fails at compiling, or ?
[11:28] <AAA> ennui  and lm-sensors and i2c- stuff in general
[11:28] <LjL> ubun7u: i've found the instruction to edit the command line in GRUB2. see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Editing Menus During Boot   -   you will need to add "init=/bin/bash" on the line where it says "quiet splash"
[11:28] <ubun7u> i have a vm and around 10 gbs of data
[11:28] <zaaj> lost_ can you read the script and try the steps manually?
[11:28] <LjL> ubun7u: but, try fsck first
[11:28] <jkalex05> Ljl i dont think thats gonna work
[11:29] <zachary> hi i have set up localhost. i dont know where the folders are on my cpu for the localhost
[11:29] <ddilinger> zachary: in relation to what?
[11:29] <LjL> jkalex05: why not? unless the kernel or /bin/bash are corrupted, it shouldn't touch any other files
[11:29] <jkalex05> terminal -> cd
[11:29] <ddilinger> zachary: what program are you trying to use
[11:29] <lost_> zaaj wait i am gonna check that
[11:29] <Guest84412> ddilinger, i am just trying to put files on my localhost to work on them
[11:29] <ddilinger> Guest84412: well, localhost is the same as your PC
[11:30] <ddilinger> Guest84412: any file on your PC is on localhost
[11:30] <Guest84412> ddilinger, so where would i put a file to be seen at the root of localhost?
[11:30] <ddilinger> Guest84412: do you mean http://localhost/, like the web server perhaps ?
[11:30] <Guest84412> yes
[11:30] <Guest84412> <IP_ADDRESS>
[11:31] <ddilinger> ok, thats a much different question :)
[11:31] <jkalex05> Places > Home Folder
[11:31] <Guest84412> :) TY SO MUCH
[11:31] <Guest84412> i greatly appreciate this
[11:31] <syron> Hey guys, I've a question, my bios says to me that I have 512 video memory, but ubuntu only shows me 256, why doesnt it show 512? :/
[11:31] <Joshmuffin> syron, what model is your graphics card
[11:31] <ikonia> syron: how is ubuntu only showing you 265, what are you doing to check ?
[11:31] <ddilinger> Guest84412: typically http://localhost/ points to /var/www/ on your filesystem
[11:32] <Guest84412> ddilinger, ty so much for helping me. how do i access phpmyadmin on local?
[11:32] <syron> Joshmuffin, Ati HD 4330
[11:32] <syron> ikonia, I'm running the following command in terminal: lspci -v -s `lspci |grep VGA|awk {'print $1'}`
[11:32] <atcho> abhi_nav:  अभी मै पक रहा हु what's the meaning?
[11:32] <atcho>
[11:32] <Joshmuffin> syron, i have a very similar card :P
[11:32] <ddilinger> Guest84412: phpmyadmin should do all the magic necessary during install(at least it did on my machine, i use lighttpd as the web server)  just load up http://localhost/phpmyadmin./
[11:32] <Malevolence> syron, if you have a integrated gpu it can allocate so memory for vid card
[11:32] <dapeamel> hi guys can someone help me to setup a proxy?
[11:32] <ddilinger> Guest84412:  err, drop the '.' at the end there
[11:32] <bosky101> AAA, i pasted the public key into .ssh/authorized_keys on remote, and made chmod 700 .ssh/id_rsa . that should do right.
[11:32] <Malevolence> I have the crappy ati 3100
[11:33] <bosky101> atcho, now i am frying
[11:33] <bosky101> thats what it means
[11:33] <syron> unfortunately I got this 4330 in my laptop, I unfortunately trusted a friend of mine who told me this notebook would be awesome, but it ain't :/
[11:33] <Guest84412> this doesn't work for me i get Not Found (http://<IP_ADDRESS>/phpmyadmin). do i have to start the web server?
[11:33] <AAA> syron  it means you are taking the first field from the grep VGA statement and using it as an arguement to the lspci statement
[11:33] <Gryllida> How do I change webpage default background in lynx or links2 or what other text browser you can suggest?
[11:33] <ddilinger> Guest84412: does 'http://localhost/' work>?
[11:33] <ikonia> syron: that's not a factual probe of your hardware
[11:34] <Guest84412> ddilinger yes it does
[11:34] <ikonia> syron: that  is simpley the device that the device ID matches to
[11:34] <ddilinger> Guest84412: then the server is running, somehow phpmyadmin didn't do its magic though
[11:34] <ubun7u> fsck shows everything is clean
[11:34] <zaaj> AAA: you may have to make sure the whole path from / to your authorized_keys is NOT writable by group - ssh servers are somewhat paranoid that way
[11:34] <AAA> bosky101  if the keys match your user and the the user key, yes
[11:34] <Guest84412> ddilinger, ah wow. should i try to install it all over again or something?
[11:34] <syron> ok, but how can I see in ubuntu the actual memory of video card, if not using this command?
[11:34] <ddilinger> Guest84412: if symlinks are enabled, a command like 'sudo ln -s /usr/share/phpmyadmin /var/www/phpmyadmin' should do the trick
[11:35] <Joshmuffin> * doesnt beleive ubun7u
[11:35] <syron> and it seems that ubuntu doesn't use all graphic memory, since i'm having a lot of trouble with watching youtube vids, which has never been a problem in windows :/
[11:35] <syron> sry, I'm pretty new to ubuntu
[11:35] <Gryllida> Joshmuffin: try it with /me doesn't... command
[11:35] <ikonia> syron: you can see with lshw - however why do you think that it's not using all your cards ram
[11:35] <dapeamel> hey guys can someone help me out with my proxy?.
[11:35] <ikonia> syron: ati have poor "driver" support - that's more likley the problem ratehr than it not using your cards ram
[11:35] <ddilinger> Guest84412: nah, it might just be that phpmyadmin is only set up to work without configuration with lighttpd, but not apache(likely default web server) .. not really sure specifically
[11:35] <bosky101> AAA, -vv mode says
[11:35] <bosky101> debug1: Trying private key: /home/bosky/.ssh/identity
[11:35] <bosky101> debug1: Trying private key: /home/bosky/.ssh/id_dsa
[11:35] <bosky101> debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method
[11:35] <ikonia> syron: 265mb on a card would be more than enough to show youtube videos any way
[11:35] <FloodBot3> bosky101: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:35] <Gryllida> !anyone | dapeamel
[11:36] <ubun7u> fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 e2fsck 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010) /dev/sda1: clean, 169836/3481600 files, 6800743/13915648 blocks
[11:36] <Gryllida> !proxy
[11:36] <Guest84412> ddilinger, that worked!!!!
[11:36] <Gryllida> hmm
[11:36] <ikonia> syron: I suspect it is using all your 512mb of video ram, it just has poor driver support
[11:36] <jkalex05> I agree ati vid card drivers for linux suck
[11:36] <bosky101> AAA, why isnt it using id_rsa
[11:36] <syron> ikonia, yes I've already seen that, I have had alot of problems with my card :/
[11:36] <lost_> zaaj , i typed make module and got error 1
[11:36] <ubun7u> see?
[11:36] <dapeamel> can someone help me to setup a proxy. I want to use privoxy
[11:36] <ikonia> syron: ok - so it's doubtful it's anything to do with your video cards ram
[11:36] <Gryllida> How do I change web-page default background in Lynx or Links2 (to white) or what other text browser you can suggest?
[11:36] <Guest84412> one last q. i have a ton of kernals at boot menu. i only want one to clear up my boot menu. is there any reason not to remove my three other kernals?
[11:36] <AAA> bosky101  pastebin ssh -vvv -your-options please
[11:37] <ddilinger> syron: i cant see youtube vids and video memory being related, just cant
[11:37] <ddilinger> Guest84412: well, the extra kernels dont hurt anything
[11:37] <syron> ddilinger, whenever I had a problem on other computers on watching flv clips or movies and I've been using windows, it has always been a driver problem :/
[11:37] <ddilinger> Guest84412: and someday you may plug new hardware into your machine and for some reason the default kernel wont boot anymore, good to have backups to try :)\
[11:38] <lost_> can someone help http://paste.ubuntu.com/454379/
[11:38] <Guest84412> ddilinger, oh wow
[11:38] <LjL> ubun7u: ok then what i can suggest is 1) run "apt-get -f install" to ensure APT is in a stable state 2) install 'debsums' and run "debsums -s -g" to see what files may ended up corrupted, and then reinstall the relevant packages.  to do this, you need to either manage to boot up (with init=/bin/bash possibly), or to use a chroot from the live CD, which is a bit complicated.
[11:38] <AAA> ddilinger  yeah... in 1999 ;)
[11:38] <Guest84412> AAA, yeah should i really keep them?
[11:38] <ddilinger> AAA: you caught me, i been on freenode since before 1999 :P
[11:38] <magicianlord> Is it necessary to include the noatime attribute with ext2? or only 3 and 4
[11:38] <Malevolence> Gryllida, Go system>Pref>Appearance then click on the theme u have on by default then hit the customize button and u can change all you want.
[11:38] <syron> what do u suggest, shall I use the drivers ubuntu gave me in the system menu or shall I use ati drivers from amd.com ?
[11:38] <Guest84412> ddilinger, if it works fine now then u think i'd be fine removing them?
[11:38] <ubun7u> chroot thing can you explain
[11:39] <AAA> Guest84412  sorry. keep what?
[11:39] <Guest84412> AAA the extra kernals
[11:39] <ubun7u> LjL with chroot?
[11:39] <ddilinger> Guest84412: you can remove them, i personally tend to leave them because they dont hurt anything
[11:39] <AAA> Guest84412  if yo uhave the diskpace. sure
[11:39] <Guest84412> ddilinger, is there a way to simply not have them show on boot but keep them?
[11:39] <Gryllida> Malevolence: bg color of terminal? 1st, I don't see it there; 2nd, it's already white by default, but links2 bg color is e0e0e0, and lynx is dark bg, I was unable to change either.
[11:40] <LjL> ubun7u: well, chroot is a program that makes the system think the root directory is something different than what it actually is. namely, you'd use it on the live cd to make it think it's actually running from your HDD, so that you can try fixing it. however, i'm not sure just doing "chroot /media/sda1" will be enough, i must admit i've very rarely used this.
[11:40] <Joshmuffin> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=9503735#post9503735
[11:40] <ddilinger> Guest84412: hmm, but if they dont show on boot menu you cant use them :P
[11:40] <lost_> anyone can give hints how to match kernel source to make build
[11:40] <ddilinger> Guest84412: just look away from the screen for 15s while its booting :)
[11:40] <Guest84412> ddilinger, yeah i see ur point. just trying to not have a ton of boot options
[11:40] <Guest84412> lol
[11:40] <Gryllida> Joshmuffin, mention someone's name, who of us all should click that link, or is it your question?
[11:40] <Malevolence> Gryllida, So is it just the terminal purple coulour u want to change?
[11:40] <Joshmuffin> Its a question
[11:41] <Guest84412> ddilinger, but i have BRUG now :)
[11:41] <ddilinger> lol
[11:41] <AAA> lost_  does $ zcat /proc/config.gz show anything?
[11:41] <bosky101> AAA, http://paste.ubuntu.com/454383/
[11:41] <Gryllida> Malevolence: yes, when I open terminal it has white bg, but when I type lynx or links2,and open a webpage like google.com, it has a dark or white bg, which I'l willing but unable to change
[11:42] <Gryllida> Malevolence: s/a dark or white/a dark or grey
[11:42] <lost_> AA no such file or directory
[11:42] <ddilinger> Gryllida: which terminal program?
[11:42] <AAA> bosky101  your key is hosed. rm it an try again
[11:42] <Gryllida> ddilinger: applications > terminal
[11:42] <bosky101> AAA, /home/bosky/.ssh/id_rsa ?
[11:42] <ddilinger> Gryllida: using gnome?

[11:43] <Gryllida> :P
[11:44] <ddilinger> Gryllida: Edit->Profiles->Edit->Background
[11:44] <AAA> bosky101  a very common mistake that will generate that error is on the server. your idenity file must have your key ON THE SAME LINE
[11:44] <Joshmuffin> Gryllida, you can also download themes as far as I am aware
[11:44] <Joshmuffin> Gryllida, somewhat like irsso
[11:44] <ddilinger> Gryllida: actually, the color is one tab left of background, the colors tab
[11:44] <Joshmuffin> irssi*
[11:45] <bosky101> AAA, i cant access the server/pubkey, so what's the next best thing i can do on the pvt key locally ?
[11:45] <azlon> how do i move my window buttons? i already tried gconf-editor and editing the metacity settings, but the buttons are still on the left
[11:45] <Malevolence> Gryllida, Go system>Pref>Appearance then click on the theme u have on by default then hit the customize button and u can change all you want. Is still the way to go you just have to fool around a bit and find what u like
[11:45] <ddilinger> Gryllida: always the first thing i change in terminals, i have to have a black background :)
[11:45] <ddilinger> black background, green text, and all is well in the world :)
[11:45] <Gryllida> ddilinger: it is 'solid color' there in that place where you asked me to look, but neither I know how to change or what it currently is, nor I really want tochange it, it's white bg by default in new terminal windows, it's ok, just these text browsers being nasty
[11:46] <ddilinger> Gryllida: actually go one tab to the left,  the 'Colors' tab.  Unclick 'use colors from system theme'
[11:46] <ddilinger> Gryllida: then choose a background color
[11:46] <azlon> Gryllida, how do i move my window buttons to the right? i already tried gconf-editor...
[11:46] <Gryllida> ddilinger, the colors tab says "use system colors" but again, default terminal setting is completely ok for me
[11:47] <Gryllida> !controls | azlon
[11:47] <bosky101> AAA, am searching for cases of -> key_type_from_name: unknown key type '-----BEGIN'
[11:47] <ddilinger> well, i dunno how to change the terminal browsers, but i know how to make a console readable :P
[11:47] <Gryllida> azlon: that thing ubottu just linked you to was the 1st command I ever ran in Ubuntu terminal
[11:47] <Joshmuffin> !controls
[11:47] <Malevolence> It's already customizable. It's in Edit>Current profile... You even can make it transparent; black background and green texts
[11:47] <azlon> Gryllida, thanks
[11:48] <AAA> bosky101  the local key may be hosed. and you'll need to ssh-keygen a new one. that will mean you'll need to add that key to the ssh server
[11:48] <ddilinger> Malevolence: he doesn't want to change the terminal, he wants to changes lynx/w3m/links2
[11:48] <AAA> bosky101  I thhink your problem is on the server side
[11:48] <Gryllida> ddilinger: the color is white, now, but links2 still has grey one, and lynx the dark one, these text browser are still being nasty
[11:49] <bosky101> AAA, i read ppl having the key_type error menioninging that they had to convert ssh2 private key to openssh . how i know what format i have now.
[11:49] <ddilinger> Gryllida: the thing is they were designed to work with a black background, so thats how they will look.  They were developed for console usage as opposed to terminal emulators
[11:49] <AAA> bosky101  how did you add that key to your authorized_keys file?
[11:49] <augustl> it seems like ubuntu tries to remember some network settings from the installation setup (a virtual environment). Is there a way to nuke/reset it?
[11:50] <bosky101> AAA, cat id_rsa.pub > authorized_keys on remote machien
[11:50] <augustl> ubuntu server 10.04
[11:50] <AAA> bosky101  you can add -1 to you ssh cmd line to test for 1vs2 compat

[11:51] <Joshmuffin> !ssh
[11:51] <ddilinger> augustl: forexample of dhcp, mine says "iface eth0 inet dhcp"
[11:51] <ddilinger> augustl: with "auto eth0" one line previous to tell it to start at boot time
[11:51] <bosky101> AAA, i added -1 to ssh cmd line and it gave Protocol major versions differ: 1 vs. 2, what does that mean
[11:51] <Joshmuffin> !ssh | abys
[11:52] <augustl> ddilinger: I see
[11:52] <augustl> ddilinger: were does it get "eth0" from? Ifconfig?
[11:52] <AAA> bosky101  can you logon via ssh with a password?
[11:52] <ddilinger> ddilinger: eth0 is the first ethernet port, its just standard linux
[11:52] <bosky101> AAA, no
[11:52] <ddilinger> augustl: ^^
[11:52] <AAA> bosky101  is ssh running on port 22 on the box?
[11:53] <azlon> joobong,
[11:53] <augustl> ddilinger: my ifconfig only lists "lo"

[11:53] <augustl> ddilinger: ifconfig -a litss "eth1" and "lo"
[11:53] <bosky101> AAA, port 1729
[11:53] <ubufool> alright, one pc makes a good connection to switch pc...but the switch pc is not making a connection to slave..
[11:54] <ubufool> ???
[11:54] <AAA> bosky101  and you are giving -p1729 to ssh?
[11:54] <ddilinger> augustl: intersting, i've only seen eth1 on systems with multiple ethernet cards.  But if your system has eth1 then use eth1`
[11:54] <bosky101> AAA, yes
[11:54] <augustl> ddilinger: well, it's juts a virtualbox instance
[11:54] <augustl> when I installed it (in vmware) it had an eth0
[11:54] <vistakiller1> anyone knows to use vi?
[11:54] <augustl> ddilinger: so it seems like ubuntu caches some info about the machine. Wild guessing ofc ;)
[11:54] <ubufool> yea my etho1 works..but etho0 does not..despite the other pc making a conection??
[11:54] <AAA> bosky101  on the server do :: $ passwd <user name> then try
[11:55] <ddilinger> augustl: could be part of it, VM's arn't as straight forward as they sounds
[11:55] <augustl> ddilinger: :)
[11:55] <bosky101> AAA, i cant login to the server.
[11:55] <augustl> I was hoping there was a way to easily make ubuntu forget what it knows about the network stuff
[11:55] <ubufool> um yea, how do you disable and re enable a nic?
[11:56] <ddilinger> ubufool: ifdown eth0
[11:56] <ddilinger> ubufool: then ifup eth0
[11:56] <DelphiWorld> wowowowow!
[11:56] <abys> Joshmuffin: Ye ... i  configured ssh with that before but it says me it cant connect to port 1000+ when i said it needs to connect on 22

[11:57] <ddilinger> ubufool: what does ifup eth0 say?

[12:03] <thalib> i have one mine works on xp and w7
[12:03] <Joshmuffin> abys, http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ssh+connection+refused+on+port
[12:03] <bastid_raZor> abys: the remote machine needs to be told which port to be listening on if not 22.
[12:03] <abys> Aciid: I first tried connecting to my own box , but i run firestarter , do i need to configured it ? I dont have an idea of how
[12:03] <bastid_raZor> Joshmuffin: that is uncalled for.
[12:04] <AAA> ddilinger  I am not clear on the full specs. but whst I do know is /dev/?random is what creates entropy
[12:04] <thalib> ANYONE
[12:04] <AAA> ddilinger  or stores it or something. I dunno....
[12:04] <thalib> CAN HELP ME ON GETTING MY TV TUNER WORK
[12:04] <ddilinger> thalib: tvtuners are a pain, your best bet is going to probably be reading the mythtv forums
[12:04] <abys> bastid_raZor: Well that configurd in the conf file right? i leaved it on 22
[12:04] <ddilinger> thalib: might be other software, but mythtv is the only one i'm familiar with that does tv tuner cards(it actualy does alot more, i think its a DVR)
[12:04] <Gryllida> ddilinger: "They were developed for console usage as opposed to terminal emulators" yeah, I want them be in text, like the terminal, can't they just use terminal bg color (white)? links2 even  has it as an option, but I don't see it take any effect
[12:05] <rww> ddilinger, AAA: /dev/urandom and /dev/random read from the kernel's entropy pool. They're not directly responsible for creating entropy.
[12:05] <ddilinger> Gryllida: i mean that w3m and lynx and links were written in the early 90's
[12:05] <Aciid> abys: yes, if you run a firewall you must open TCP port 22 . that is SSH by default
[12:05] <Joshmuffin> abys, at a glance the second result seems to be perfect for you -http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=907845
[12:05] <ddilinger> Gryllida: w3m actually maybee the late 90's
[12:05] <indus> thalib, hi is this an analog signal
[12:05] <indus> thalib, try tvtime
[12:06] <bosky101> AAA, pastebin of ssh using -vvv http://pastebin.com/hSpXkbmL
[12:06] <ddilinger> Gryllida: but they were all written to be run outside of an X environment, where the console is pretty much black no matter what
[12:06] <indus> !info tvtime
[12:06] <abys> Joshmuffin: oke
[12:06] <AAA> rww  thanks
[12:06] <indus> ddilinger, tvtuners are not a pain ,
[12:06] <Joshmuffin> thalib, what TV tuner is it?
[12:07] <indus> ddilinger, at least for the analog ones,
[12:07] <ddilinger> indus: i guess it depends on luck :)  i had a hauppage card that gave me nothing but problems
[12:07] <indus> ddilinger, have you heard of tvtime , its a really simple applicaiton
[12:07] <indus> ddilinger, mythtv is a monster compared to it
[12:07] <ddilinger> indus: have not, i dumped the tv tuner card a couple years ago, and yes mythtv is a monster
[12:07] <indus> i got my very standard pinnacle tuner working with it and watching tv in 5 min
[12:08] <AAA> bosky101  I asked for -vvv the extra v is goood.  loook at line 69
[12:08] <ddilinger> if you just want to watch live tv its would be like getting a Dual Xeon when all you needed was a 386 :)
[12:10] <AAA> bosky101  I don't think all your keys are in the proper place. 3v's would help debug :)
[12:10] <bosky101> AAA, what does line 69 on http://pastebin.com/hSpXkbmL mean  ( just says my node name )
[12:10] <bosky101> AAA, ^ is 3 v's
[12:10] <bosky101> oops. hold on.
[12:11] <Joshmuffin> How do you show output of terminal commands in to irc
[12:11] <bosky101> AAA, scroll to line 82 please for -vvv in the same file
[12:11] <Joshmuffin> like as in fdisk strait into xchat
[12:12] <ddilinger> bosky101: have you tried using '-i keyfile' to force which key it uses?
[12:12] <ddilinger> bosky101: havn't been following the debug session, but saw mention of possibly using wrong key
[12:12] <bosky101> yes line 82 does just that.
[12:12] <AAA> bosky101  line 90
[12:13] <AAA> bosky101  $ ls -l ~/.ssh
[12:13] <AAA> bosky101  you have something wrong there
[12:15] <indus> !paste > thalib
[12:15] <ddilinger> i was thinking the same thing looking over that, but then i tried out ssh -vvv to my VPS and i get the same output, about the --BEGIN and whitespace and whatnot, and the key works fine
[12:16] <AAA> bosky101  if it were me, I'd try this. : $ mv ~/.ssh ~/.ssh.back  and then try again
[12:18] <belda> hi. I'm reinstalling ubuntu, and I have separate /home partition, will the classic installer overwrite the user accounts on it?
[12:18] <dart_> hi...i just installed unity interface.....but when i log into unity session i get a flashing white screen....how can i solve this?
[12:18] <ubufool> i think i found out why it woulnd't work, my etho1
[12:18] <ddilinger> bosky101: silly question, but the right hostname?  i spent an hour once debugging trying to log into a machine, problem was i was connecting to .com instead of .net :P
[12:19] <ubufool> excuse me my eth0 wasnt configure to be a link-or share to other computer?? maybe it will hook up now?
[12:19] <bosky101> ddilinger, : ) no thats covered.
[12:19] <ddilinger> bosky101: didn't even notice till i forwarded a log of ssh trying to connect to a coworker, he hits me back 30 sec later with the answer :)
[12:20] <AAA> bosky101  line 336-337
[12:20] <bosky101> AAA, the same key is working when trying with another remote server. but not with this node. ( getting the same not RSA key in both, but logging in with workingnode)
[12:20] <dart_> hi...i am getting a flashing white screen on ubuntu unity interface....how can i solve this....is there a seperate irc channel for unity?
[12:20] <AAA> bosky101  are you using a dsa or rsa key from the client?
[12:21] <AAA> bosky101  the bosky ID doesn't seem to be in the right dir
[12:21] <bosky101> AAA, rsa
[12:21] <nmvictor_> whats the command to install java?
[12:21] <AAA> bosky101  and the key is in ~bosky/.ssh/ ?
[12:22] <h00k> dart_: probably #ubuntu+1 is more appropriate
[12:22] <AAA> bosky101  because it looks like it is in ~/bosky/
[12:22] <h00k> !java | nmvictor_
[12:22] <ubufool> hells yea! it works now..and i used the gui and didnt have to edit anything manually woot woot
[12:23] <belda> I'm reinstalling ubuntu, and I have separate /home partition, will the installer overwrite the user accounts on it?
[12:23] <ubufool> so why can't i share internet via ip6?
[12:23] <ddilinger> nmvictor_: sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
[12:23] <AAA> bosky101  or ~bosky/ rather
[12:23] <ddilinger> anyone know, how much difference is there between official sun java and openjdk ?
[12:24] <Joshmuffin> nmvictor_, !multiverse
[12:24] <ylmfos> no
[12:24] <Joshmuffin> nmvictor_, | multiverse
[12:24] <Joshmuffin> nmvictor_, | !multiverse
[12:24] <IdleOne> ddilinger: install sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin
[12:24] <AAA> bosky101  can you pastebin ~bosky/.ssh ?
[12:24] <h00k> belda: if you set it to not format the /home partition, it won't touch any of that data that exists
[12:25] <bosky101> AAA< all dirs are bosky . see 29 vs 62 on http://pastebin.com/xfmBBbuf . that's where it diverts between non-working ( first snippet ) and working ( second snippet)
[12:25] <ddilinger> IdleOne: why sun-java instead of openjdk?
[12:25] <IdleOne> ddilinger: just works better (for me)
[12:25] <ddilinger> i have no clue, its installed but i never use it :P
[12:25] <IdleOne> ddilinger: but you are right I should suggest openjdk
[12:26] <AAA> bosky101  19 and 20 do not match
[12:26] <ddilinger> i just figured openjdk would be in the default package list, if sun-java works better then that is the right solution sometimes
[12:26] <terrid> hi all
[12:26] <bosky101> AAA, .ssh ls pastebin at http://pastebin.com/i2dqYTyk
[12:27] <terrid> recently upgraded my version of ubuntu, tries to start mysql....
[12:27] <terrid> bash: /etc/init.d/mysql: No such file or directory
[12:27] <Gryllida> ddilinger: can I force these text browsers to use my terminal's default background color?
[12:27] <terrid> recently upgraded my version of ubuntu, tries to start mysql....
[12:27] <terrid> ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2)
[12:27] <ddilinger> Gryllida: dont think so, as i mentioned they were written a long time ago
[12:27] <Aciid> okey I accidentally removed all /dev devices
[12:27] <Aciid> how do regenerate most of them
[12:27] <Aciid> I got urandom back
[12:27] <Aciid> but..
[12:27] <olskolirc> do we have a text browser that allows us to see images as well?
[12:27] <ddilinger> olskolirc: ?
[12:28] <bosky101> AAA, 55 and 56 dont either , but it logs in.
[12:28] <ddilinger> olskolirc: might be something useing aalib i guess
[12:28] <AAA> bosky101  there is no authorized_keys in that dir
[12:28] <olskolirc> lynx is all text based ddilinger is there one where i can see pics
[12:28] <Joshmuffin> Aciid, you having fun deleting randome folders in /dev/ and seeing what happens
[12:28] <bosky101> AAA, this is my local
[12:28] <AAA> bosky101  need a_k's
[12:28] <h00k> Aciid: Those are handled by kernel, as far as I know, if you reboot they should be there.
[12:28] <ddilinger> olskolirc: i havn't seen them displayed inline though, just when you click a link to an image it renders through aalib (turns graphics into text)
[12:28] <ubufool> how come in ubuntu 10.4 we no longer have access to 3rd party software? via repo's
[12:28] <Aciid> Joshmuffin: very funny.
[12:29] <iceroot> ubufool: of course you have
[12:29] <olskolirc> oic ddilinger
[12:29] <bosky101> AAA, what do i put in it on my local node ?
[12:29] <AAA> bosky101  where is that authorized_keys files on your box? shoud be ~home/.ssh/$keys
[12:29] <Aciid> I rebooted, my system still works
[12:29] <ddilinger> ubufool: umm, its about all 3rd party software
[12:29] <Joshmuffin> Aciid, what excatly are you doing
[12:29] <bosky101> on the remote a_k is in .ssh/
[12:29] <ddilinger> ubufool: gnome, thats third party software :P
[12:29] <ubufool> uh..i can't find tweakd?
[12:29] <Aciid> Joshmuffin: I accidentally mounted my /dev to chroot and deleted all of them
[12:29] <Aciid> it's an remote server, so i'm screwed if I cant get it to work
[12:30] <iceman_3233>  Greetz
[12:30] <ubufool> so i guesss i need to download a possibly curropt version and manually install it after some random googleing?
[12:30] <AAA> bosky101  on the server you are ssh'n to --> needs to have an ~user/.ssh/authorized_keys file that has the keys listed one line at a time
[12:30] <bosky101> keys are all in /home/bosky/.ssh/ for me locally
[12:30] <AAA> bosky101  not by your pastebin
[12:31] <h00k> ubufool: Was it in a previous install of yours from a ppa?
[12:31] <masterslakk> hey
[12:31] <sunta> hi
[12:31] <ddilinger> Aciid: whats wrong with it?  scrolled up but i only see mentioned of "i got urandom back but " nothing came after the but
[12:31] <iceroot> ubufool: http://blog.ubuntu-tweak.com/2008/01/22/ubuntu-tweak-has-repository-now.html
[12:31] <ubufool> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Upgrade%20from%20Ubuntu <<>> do i need to restart after doing this?
[12:31] <masterslakk> anyone there? I'm having trouble with my computer running 10.04.... it keeps crashing when ever i play runescape(mmorpg web application based) game.
[12:32] <Aciid> ddilinger: I accidentally removed all the devices on /dev I'm now rebooting and praying
[12:32] <bosky101> AAA, /home/bosky is my local terminal. im trying to ssh into node.  i think i'll have to revert/reinstall . : / thanks.
[12:32] <masterslakk> it just crashes then restartds after like 20 minutes of having it on
[12:32] <Joshmuffin> !anyone | master_of_master
[12:32] <h00k> ubufool: yes, as that uses a different kernel
[12:32] <Joshmuffin> !anyone | masterslakk
[12:32] <sunta> anyone using cyrus.2.3 yet and have a .dsc file I could build against?
[12:32] <OpenSourcedNick> how do I get current folder location on cli?
[12:32] <ddilinger> Aciid: /dev is a custom filesystem generated at boot time by the kernel, should be fine
[12:32] <Aciid> ddilinger: everything is fine, thank god rebooting recreated the devices
[12:32] <masterslakk> joshmuffin, are you slow...? I did ask my question along with that
[12:33] <sunta> OpenSourcedNick, pwd
[12:33] <AAA> bosky101  you don't need to reinstll to fix this. you just need to put you ssh key into the ~usr/.ssh/authorized_keys file
[12:33] <Aciid> ddilinger: I learned something, never blindly trust an old How-to
[12:33] <OpenSourcedNick> sunta: thank you!
[12:33] <sunta> np
[12:33] <Joshmuffin> masterslakk, are you playing runescape? if i was you i would lie and say im doing something else to save myself the embarrassment
[12:34] <ubufool> "tweak" is a hex editor "tweakd" is a gui that makes several system device changes to things like video card latency...
[12:34] <bosky101> AAA, ssh key into the remote node's  ~usr/.ssh/authorized_keys file right ?
[12:34] <h00k> Joshmuffin: Please be appropriate, here.
[12:34] <bosky101> AAA, but i cant login in to the remote node in the first place
[12:34] <ubufool> i'll be back after a restart..
[12:35] <ddilinger> Aciid: heh, yea i run into that issue some times :)  or i remember how things worked 10 yrs ago in linux and try and change it, then realize it doesn't work that way anymore
[12:35] <AAA> bosky101  did you try to $ mv ~usr/.ssh ~usr/.ssh.bak and try again?
[12:35] <sunta> how I fix; Prevu Error: 'Invalid distribution: lucid'
[12:35] <masterslakk> joshmuffin, are you serious? chill dude... first you even know what rs is... second just stfu
[12:35] <bosky101> AAA, on which ? my local or remote ?
[12:35] <iceroot> sunta: where does that error comes?
[12:35] <h00k> !language | masterslakk
[12:36] <AAA> bosky101  you said you didn't have access to the remote?!
[12:36] <sunta> iceroot, trying to build cyrus-server 2.3.8. reinvoking prevu-init atm
[12:36] <bosky101> AAA, yes only have local. ok so then it'll be empty. will try.
[12:37] <ddilinger> bosky101: it really seems you might need to get someone at the datacenter with physical access to make the changes.  Typically the guys in the DC are pretty good about it
[12:37] <ddilinger> bosky101: does depend on your DC though :)
[12:37] <Joshmuffin> masterslakk, yeah i played it when i was 12
[12:37] <ddilinger> Joshmuffin: so, last week?
[12:38] <Joshmuffin> ddilinger, no! two weeks ago!
[12:38] <rajeshsr_> hi all
[12:38] <bosky101> AAA, i get a prompt saying 'an app wnat to access my pvt key for 'bosky@astrix' but it is locked. enter password'
[12:38] <AAA> bosky101  ddilinger woah. you have dc support?
[12:38] <h00k> Please keep the topic of conversation related to support.  Also, please review the !guidelines from the /topic
[12:38] <AAA> bosky101  then enter it?
[12:38] <ddilinger> AAA: dunno, thought i saw him mentioned something about that near the begining
[12:39] <ddilinger> AAA: although it was listed under the non-prefered fix methods
[12:39] <ubuntupaws> nice yaar
[12:39] <rajeshsr_> is there a media player in linux, that supports global hot keys? Like on some key movements, irrespective of whether the media player is focused or not, it should work.
[12:39] <masterslakk> my computer just freezes when ever i use the graphics card intensely... just started since i got a new LG 22" monitor... using the dvi - hdmi plug to connect it to computer
[12:39] <AAA> ddilinger  ;)
[12:39] <vu1kan> rajeshsr_ i think vlc player does that, but it's not linux exclusive
[12:40] <ddilinger> masterslakk: sounds like an issue with your video card heat sink/fan
[12:40] <LjL> rajeshsr_: well, Amarok can do that, but under KDE, no idea if it'd do that on GNOME
[12:40] <ddilinger> masterslakk: try reseating it with some fresh thermal paste?
[12:40] <Joshmuffin> rajeshsr_, it think maybe songbird
[12:40] <masterslakk> ddillinger, is there anyway i can test that it is it without touching it?
[12:40] <Joshmuffin> rajeshsr_, but youll have to check
[12:41] <AAA> ddilinger  I suggested that fix to a friend recently and just got a a quisicle stare
[12:41] <kampA_zero> hi all!
[12:41] <echa> Hi
[12:41] <ddilinger> masterslakk: depending on the card it may be able to report its temperature, if you can get a temperature readout you would know its bad because when its busy it just keeps getting hotter, doesn't level out
[12:41] <bosky101> AAA, after making new .ssh , just asks for password. takes it ,but says 'Permission denied (publickey,password)'
[12:42] <kampA_zero> has anyone tried office 2010 with wine and worked fine with it  ?
[12:42] <AAA> masterslakk  lm-sensors
[12:42] <h00k> !wine | kampA_zero
[12:42] <sunta> iceroot, error is still thrown: sudo -E  prevu http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/cyrus-imapd-2.3/cyrus-imapd-2.3_2.3.8-1.dsc
[12:42] <Dr_Willis> !appdb > kampA_zero
[12:42] <rajeshsr_> vu1kan, LjL, Joshmuffin thanks. Let me check out.
[12:42] <masterslakk> AAA, umm lm-sensors? what is that? it doesn't work in my shell...
[12:42] <rajeshsr_> vu1kan, BTW, how does vlc have that? I need to get some plugin?
[12:43] <Fossilet> Hello.~
[12:43] <ddilinger> i think X can do that by default, the app just has to tell X thats what its doing
[12:43] <Joshmuffin> masterslakk, nvidia-settings -g gpucoretemp
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> vlc handles the 'media keys' on my systems - if thats what you are refering to  rajeshsr_
[12:44] <masterslakk> joshmuffin, it's so verbose... how do i minimize the output and get the exact tempature to be an easy read?
[12:44] <vu1kan> rajeshsr_ no, you just have to go into the prefs and set your hotkeys...there's a column for regular and a column for global
[12:44] <AAA> masterslakk  lm-sensors provides support fot sensors on the i2c bus
[12:44] <masterslakk> AAA, how would i type that in the shell?
[12:44] <ddilinger> masterslakk: basicaly, lm-sensors reads your cpu and video card temp
[12:44] <masterslakk> when i type lm-sensors, it doesn't do anything
[12:45] <ddilinger> masterslakk: apt-get install lm-sensors
[12:45] <AAA> masterslakk  cat /proc/acpi/<tab>
[12:45] <masterslakk> plus, it doesnt find and alternative command or any packages...
[12:45] <Joshmuffin> masterslakk, no idea lm-sensonrs might be your best bet
[12:45] <bastid_raZor> !lm-sensors
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> you install the lm-sensors package then run 'sudo sensors-detect' I thought...
[12:45] <Joshmuffin> masterslakk, if you running conky: ${color lightgrey}NVidia GPU Temp:$color ${execi 30 nvidia-settings -q gpucoretemp |grep '):' | awk '{print $4}'} C
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> see urls for more info above :)
[12:45] <vu1kan> Dr_Willis you signed off yesterday before i could thank you for the tip about xrandr, does exactly what i wanted it to
[12:45] <ddilinger> masterslakk: once lm-sensors is installed you can use the "sensors" command
[12:45] <Dr_Willis> vu1kan:  of course it does! :) Thats what its designed for.
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> vu1kan:  much better then thazt alt-ctrl-Numpad +/- trick
[12:46] <Andrew9> which audio driver has better output quality pulseaudio or alsa ?
[12:46] <AAA> masterslakk  you may want 2 tabs at $ cat /proc/acpi/
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> Andrew9:  pulse audio uses alsa.
[12:46] <Dr_Willis> kernel -> alsa -> pulse audio.
[12:46] <masterslakk> ddillinger, the sensors command only shows motherboard and cpu temp
[12:47] <sunta> iceroot, fixed with patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/48950983/prevu_0.5.2-0ubuntu4.debdiff
[12:47] <Andrew9> Dr_Willis: is there anything better than alsa?
[12:47] <AAA> masterslakk  but the rest is in proc
[12:47] <ubuntupaws> Dr_Willis: u said dpkg -l would work and install package for dependency but it says command not recognized
[12:47] <ddilinger> masterslakk: try the command joshmuffin posted above
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> Andrew9:  the only alternative to alsa is the newer OSS4 - and ive no idea how much work/devcelped it os.
[12:47] <Dr_Willis> ubuntupaws:  i did? i dont recall ever doing that.
[12:48] <AAA> masterslakk  then again, _everyting_ is in proc :)
[12:48] <Joshmuffin> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1516734 anyone able to help me with grub2 error
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> Andrew9:  alsa and pulse work fine for me and my 5 machines
[12:48] <ubuntupaws> i logged with other name ..............kicking in tender right?
[12:48] <ddilinger> Dr_Willis: oss is trying to make a comeback?
[12:48] <masterslakk> that command doesn't work... it prints the output as bad substitution... could be 1 or 2>
[12:48] <ddilinger> Dr_Willis: first i had heard of that, interesting
[12:48] <Andrew9> Dr_Willis: ok thanks, i was asking because linux audio quality is garbage compared to windows...
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> ddilinger:  yea. ive heard mention of it.. i dont keep up with it.
[12:48] <Andrew9> Dr_Willis: in my case..
[12:48] <masterslakk> andrew9, not exactly
[12:48] <ubuntupaws> hey andrew......plz shut that up
[12:48] <Dr_Willis> Andrew9:  blame the sound card makers for not documenting stuff and giving linux their support basically.
[12:49] <Dr_Willis> Andrew9:  if its a very new soundcard/chipset - it may work much better in the next release.
[12:49] <Andrew9> masterslakk: not exactly? how do you know?
[12:49] <ubuntupaws> i personally feel linux does better job than windows bieng free
[12:49] <mario_> Hello!
[12:49]  * ddilinger blames the sound card makers for making crappy cards and convincing people that their surround sound dolby digital stuff is anthing other than junk
[12:49] <ddilinger> read DD is nice, but not the junk on cards :P

[12:50] <mario_> How can i update from karmic to lucid? I dont have that upgrade button as descibed here: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> I find the whole surround sound thing - just a way to sell more speakers. :)
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> Andrew9:  creative has really really really dropped the ball in their linux support in the last few years.
[12:50] <AAA> Dr_Willis  have you ever booted into windows just to initiazile your soundcard and then used crazy modporobe io=0xfoo stuff to make it work?

[12:50] <ddilinger> Dr_Willis: it can make a little difference,  i prefer the 5 channel soundtracks for movies over the 2 channel tracks often found on downloaded ones, but it might just be the recompression that kills it
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> AAA:  ive had sound cards in windows that would not work from a 'reboot'  but only from a hard boot..  and ive had to fight with  other windows settings in the past for hardware with bad drivers.
