[11:15] <botcity> hi guy anyone know why i get " X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication. "  when i use sudo -i on a remote machine trying to start firefox with x forwarding thanks?
[11:16] <eaxxae> you're trying to run firefox as root, inside of a regular user x-session ?
[11:16] <eaxxae> 'xhost -'
[11:16] <nibbler_> botcity, because the remote app can not connect to your xserver... man xhost
[11:16] <eaxxae> 'xhost +'
[11:16] <tim167> is it possible to run ubuntu on an old computer with 64MB ram ?
[11:16] <joshy> yes
[11:16] <bazhang> tim167, no

[11:21] <sipior> nicofs_: yep, have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBonding
[11:21] <eaxxae> nicofs_:  it's called multiplexing, and yeah
[11:21] <sipior> nicofs_: but, i assume you mean that these are connections on different physcial networks?
[11:21] <nicofs_> sipior, yes

[12:00] <vish> TaoRich: connect to irc.gimp.org
[12:01] <TaoRich> thanks vish & erUSUL
[12:01] <ikonia> saby: you don't
[12:01] <ikonia> !sudo | saby
[12:01] <ikonia> saby: root's disabled
[12:01] <saby> sad
[12:01] <TaoRich> vish ... got that ... it's in my xchat preloaded list
[12:02] <saby> i need root access without using sudo
[12:02] <ikonia> saby: why ?
[12:02] <saby> i am working on a project and i need root access for that
[12:02] <erUSUL> !rootshell
[12:02] <vish> TaoRich: as for your above question;you can create profiles with different colors
[12:02] <ikonia> saby: ok, so if you investigate sudo you'll find there are flags that allow you to be root
[12:03] <saby> ok ikonia
[12:03] <saby> will check that
[12:05] <TaoRich> vish: Been there, done that. When you swop a profile in one desktop, all instances change immediately. I need two "varietals" running side by side
[12:05] <TaoRich> : )
[12:05] <vish> TaoRich: ah!
[12:06] <tobis> Hi
[12:07] <adminek> hi
[12:09] <kaddi> Hi, I need some help with a CD problem I have: I have an external CD player, which works except for one particular CD I am trying to access.  If I dualboot into Windows the CD can be read from the same external CD player. What can I do to access this CD under linux?
[12:11] <kaddi> I did a  dmesg | grep -i cd | grep -i rom, the only lines appearing are:
[12:11] <kaddi> [319727.804566] scsi 10:0:0:0: CD-ROM            HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GP08NU6B  1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0
[12:11] <kaddi> [319728.047667] sr 10:0:0:0: Attached scsi CD-ROM sr0
[12:12] <erUSUL> kaddi: is a hybrid cd ? MacOSX - windows ?
[12:12] <rhada> I have install apache2 and folllowed this url https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/httpd.html I can get my domian running as http but have not found the way to get www to show?
[12:12] <AdvoWork> how come, if i have a file from the 4th, this won't remove it: find /test/* -mtime +2 -exec rm {} \; ?
[12:12] <kaddi> erUSUL: nope a self burned CD on windows and we have never had a Mac in the house
[12:14] <novas> test
[12:14] <bc81> novas: we read you loud and clear
[12:15] <novas> good!
[12:15] <kaddi> what would be the command to maunally mount the CD? maybe that'll work
[12:15] <jrib> AdvoWork: did you see the comments in « man find » -atime ?
[12:15] <rethus>  i have a cardreader. but if i insert it, i can't copy data from my disk to the card. but i can read the card
[12:15] <bc81> !mount | kaddi
[12:15] <rethus> any idea what wrong here?
[12:15] <erUSUL> kaddi: sudo mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom/
[12:16] <kaddi> k, thanks I wasn't sure about what format to specify
[12:16] <rethus> my usb-card-reader is mounted, but i cant write data only read
[12:16] <kaddi> well it's safe to say something is off with that CD.. it's still trying to mount >.>
[12:17] <novas> My iPod touch fails to mount.
[12:17] <novas> in ubuntu 10.10
[12:17] <rethus>  always get Permission denied
[12:17] <kaddi> k, i guess this is not gonna happen.. any recovery methods to mount the CD in fail safe or something?
[12:19] <novas> Does anyone have any idea why my iPod touch won't mount? I've been googling all day. Maybe it's got something to do with the new iOS?
[12:19] <novas> It's not recognized in iTunes, Rhythmbox or other software
[12:19] <pylix> it won't auto mount? or just won't mount at all?
[12:19] <novas> It won't mount at all
[12:19] <pylix> odd
[12:20] <novas> Indeed.
[12:20] <novas> Troubleshooting ideas?
[12:20] <pylix> if you did the whole sudo fdisk -l
[12:21] <pylix> found the correct drive
[12:21] <pylix> and then /mount i'm not sure why it's bugging out
[12:21] <Guest6608> hi guys!
[12:21] <rethus> someone has an idea, where i can set this usb-write-permissions
[12:21] <rethus> ?
[12:22] <Guest6608> i bought a new PC (finally): small config, i3 and 4 gb ram. integrated graphics. I saw gnome 3 is there and so is ubuntu 11.04.
[12:22] <kaddi> rethus: you could remount the drive as read-write
[12:22] <kaddi> it is likely mounted as read-only
[12:22] <Ranjan> hello every body, can any body can tell me which version of ubuntu is more energy efficient Presently I am on Hp mini
[12:23] <Guest6608> question: i read ubuntu won t go gnome-shell but unity. > will it be possible to use gnome-shell in 11.04?
[12:23] <rethus> kaddi: thanks for your answer. i'd like to get it like before... automount
[12:23] <rethus> still upgrade to 10.10 i can only read, not write to usb-stick
[12:23] <ikonia> Guest6608: 11.04 is discussed in the channel #ubuntu+1
[12:24] <tongle> hi, does anyone know how to work with gpt partitions? I want to create a boot partition on a usb key. Well, using gdisk I create first a 200K bios partition and then a linux data partition for /boot. Is that correct? Do I install grub in /dev/sdb then or in /dev/sdb1 or even 2?
[12:24] <kaddi> rethus: then i'd suggest you check your fstab/mtab/othertab and see what the steup is there
[12:24] <rethus> in fstab i see no usb-settings
[12:24] <Guest6608> ikonia, thank you!
[12:25] <rethus> mtab tell me: /dev/sdb1 /media/usb0 vfat rw,noexec,nodev,sync,noatime,nodiratime 0 0
[12:25] <rethus> so should be read and write
[12:25] <kaddi> then it's a permission issue, only root can write onto it
[12:26] <Ranjan> which Ubuntu variant is more energy efficient
[12:26] <rethus> how can i fix it
[12:26] <rethus> Ranjan: xfce
[12:26] <dcleaner> hi everybody. as of this morning opera won't start on my 10.10 machine. tried reinstalling, removing flash and then reinstalling, checking whether i have permission on ~.opera. getting no error message, just won't start :-/
[12:27] <rethus> you start on terminal?
[12:28] <kaddi> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1518440
[12:28] <dcleaner> rethus: shortcut or terminal
[12:28] <dcleaner> no luck either way
[12:28] <kaddi> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=237881&page=3
[12:28] <kaddi> rethus: have a look at those two links, people discuss problems with their flash drive there and tehre are a couple of solutions offered
[12:30] <Ranjan> rethus: thanks for this info one more question can we hide any file or folder under it's file browser as I am dual booted my net book and an common shared data zone between xp and Linux buy in gnome we can hide those .. windows system files under nautilus .. is that too possible in xfce  if yes then how ?
[12:30] <dcleaner> terminal/main menu/docky. nothing happens. in terminal when i enter opera --help i get help info, so i know it's installed
[12:32] <phoenixsampras> yeah, docky is very annoying... i want to move it a bit up
[12:32] <dcleaner> btw. managed to run opera as sudo, but that is just not right
[12:32] <rhada> I have install apache2 and folllowed this url https://help.ubuntu.com/6.06/ubuntu/serverguide/C/httpd.html I can get my domian running as http but have not found the way to get www to show?
[12:32] <ikonia> rhada: are you using ubuntu 6.06 ?
[12:33] <banisterfiend> hey guys, i got an .iso for windowsxp, how do i get virtualbox to use it to install windows? it;s just asking me for cdrom/floppy
[12:33] <jrib> banisterfiend: in the virtual machine's settings you can set the .iso to act as your cd-rom
[12:33] <Guest6608> guys, i d like to know. are you using compiz or mutter?
[12:33] <ikonia> Guest6608: what does it matter ?
[12:33] <jrib> !polls | Guest6608
[12:34] <banisterfiend> jrib: interesting thanks ill try
[12:34] <Guest6608> ok. sry :)
[12:36] <rhada> ikonia: no but the basic set up is the same on 10.04
[12:38] <banisterfiend> jrib: im having trouble finding the optino, can u help me?
[12:39] <jrib> banisterfiend: try #vbox.  I would have to open vbox to be anymore specific

[12:42] <dj_ribale> Hello. What soundcard with 5.1 sound work fine in ubuntu 10.10?
[12:44] <CoNFuS3D> well, I have a soundblaster, and that works awesomely
[12:45] <agrbin> \server irc.torrenthr.org
[12:46] <dj_ribale> CoNFuS3D: Ok.
[12:46] <CoNFuS3D> I didn't have to do anything to get it to work.. just installed into pci slot, turned on pc.. and it worked :D
[12:47] <banisterfiend> jrib: thing is the winxp iso is not a live cd, i just want to install from it, it seems the option you were taling about is more for livecds?
[12:47] <thruxton> Hi, I have an HP laptop that has windows partition, and a recovery partiton and i want to try ubunbtu, can ubuntu delete the recovery partition and resize the windows partition during the install or do i need to use gparted or such beforehand?
[12:48] <jrib> banisterfiend: no, the .iso acts as your cd-rom.  In particular, if your iso is the win xp install cd, it will boot from it and take you to the windows installer when you boot the virtual machine
[12:48] <banisterfiend> jrib: oh ok
[12:48] <banisterfiend> jrib: so do i set up a 'hard drive' etc and all that first, or just set it to the iso ?
[12:49] <dj_ribale> CoNFuS3D: Can you tell what model it was.
[12:50] <CoNFuS3D> xi-fi audio I think
[12:50] <CoNFuS3D> brb, I check
[12:51] <CoNFuS3D> xi-fi xtreme audio
[12:52] <jrib> banisterfiend: you already set up a hard drive when you created the virtual machine.  Just set up the "CD/DVD Device" as your iso
[12:52] <banisterfiend> jrib: thanks
[12:52] <bunjee> anyone out there know of some way I can recover my MSN email account that has been hacked into?
[12:52] <jrib> bunjee: not an ubuntu question, contact msn
[12:52] <dj_ribale> Ok, Thank you. I'm about to buy soundcard from webstore and there's so meny different cards awaible. That helped me a lot.
[12:52] <bunjee> jrib - tried - they are of NO help at all!!
[12:53] <banisterfiend> jrib: ok, so i set the iso as the cdrom but how do i actually get to the point where i can install it?
[12:53] <hytreem> bunjee, see my PM
[12:53] <jrib> banisterfiend: bootthe virtual machine
[12:54] <bunjee> hytreem -  do not know what PM is - please advise.

[12:58] <DOokami> hello guys :) ,, how do i view .rar files on ubuntu ?
[12:58] <jrib> !rar | DOokami
[12:58] <DOokami> so is it free or not ?
[12:59] <jrib> DOokami: read the link please
[12:59] <DOokami> ok, thanks
[13:00] <phoenixsampras> DOokami: apt-get install rar unrar
[13:00] <ruan> p7zip-full works too
[13:00] <bc81> question: how can i force ubuntu to always play all audio through the bluetooth headphones as soon as they are connected?  sometimes, like while playing a game if i turn on the headphones, the audio doesn't go to them until i stop the game
[13:01] <banisterfiend> jrib: thanks it's installing now
[13:01] <ruan> p7zip + 7z supports rar, 7z, zip, etc
[13:01] <bc81> it's frustrating, when i turn on the headphones, i want all the audio to go to them!
[13:03] <bc81> i shouldn't have to quit my game/music/movie, turn on the headphones, then restart the game/music/movie.  right?
[13:03] <phoenixsampras> bc81: is the way ubuntu works
[13:04] <ClaudiuT> hello
[13:04] <bc81> phoenixsampras: well, with corded headphones, all one has to do is plug them into the 1/4" stereo jack and all audio automatically goes to them.. why not the same for bluetooth headphones?
[13:05] <ClaudiuT> the output for lshw -C disk for disk1 is "UNCLAIMED" (disk1 being a SCSI disk). Any hints on how can I mount that disk? (using Ubuntu Server)
[13:05] <DOokami> phoenixsampras: that's what i'm talking about :D ,, ur the MAN ,, thank u ^^
[13:05] <Janhouse> what is the easies way to install openssl-1.0.0 ?

[13:06] <k_89> How do i install python 3 on ubuntu (for learning nd all) without affecting the current python install(which is required to run the softwares made in python)
[13:06] <config|sys> after i wrote file with gedit how I save it only name or  Iadd extension?
[13:07] <k_89> anyone?
[13:08] <ikonia> k_89: you'd have to build a package that installed it to an isloated place, eg: your home directory
[13:08] <k_89> ikonia, thnx...
[13:08] <config|sys> when I save file in gedit it dong give me option to add extension why?
[13:09] <config|sys> should I name text files as example.txt or?
[13:10] <iceroot> config|sys: file-extensions are unimportant for linux
[13:10] <ruan> yep
[13:10] <config|sys> iceroot: thanks
[13:10] <iceroot> config|sys: they are only important for you if you like txt at the end but there is no special funktion if a file ended with txt
[13:11] <config|sys> iceroot: thanks ok
[13:13] <DOokami> ehm ,, okay :) .. anyone know where i can find "HTML & XHTML: The Definitive Guide, Fifth Edition" in pdf version ... coughfree..

[13:16] <ruan> search ubuntu software center before asking for a program
[13:17] <DOokami> jrib: xD @made up ... nah man thanks ,, i already download xchm as u instructed .. thank you :)

[13:30] <bth1202> But it works only USB 2.0 on my ubuntu box.
[13:31] <ruan> bth1202: do you have a usb 3.0 port?
[13:31] <Abhijit> bth1202,
[13:31] <bth1202> it would be appreciated if you could let me know how to make it use usb 3.0.

[13:32] <rcmaehl> How does ubuntu handle NetBIOS connections, if it does handle them at all?
[13:33] <ruan> not sure, but i see some entries in ubuntu software center with netbios.
[13:36] <Pumpkin-> samba obviously implements large chinks of NetBIOS (over IP)
[13:36] <Pumpkin-> chunks even
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> chicks. :) hot samba chicks! :P
[13:37] <rcmaehl> Dr_Willis: Why you be using windows shares?
[13:37] <ruan> lol
[13:37] <Dr_Willis> rcmaehl:  i use windows shares to let the wifes media players find her 'Little House On the Prarrie' videos...
[13:38] <Dr_Willis> been experimenting with upnp servers like ushare lately.

[13:39] <jenia> When I right-click on desktop on mounted CD-Rom and Unmount it or anywhere in Nautilus on some video files and go to Properties, Nautilus crashes. I.e. desktop with icons and the background disappears and all Nautilus windows close. When I open some folder in Nautilus again, desktop with icons and the background reloads back. What can cause this?
[13:39] <sion> in what release did ubuntu start using grub-pc?
[13:39] <jenia> I think that some file is corrupt, but I don't know which.
[13:39] <Dr_Willis> sion:  9.04 i think had it optional.
[13:39] <rcmaehl> sion: i think the same release they switched to grub2
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> grub-pc is the pacakge name for grub2 I thought.
[13:40] <bth1202> According to your information, I've checked it out then it says that Ubuntu 11.04 support usb3.0 perfectly.
[13:40] <Dr_Willis> bth1202:  thats good to hear. I got a usb3 HD. and a usb3 pcie card for it the other day. :) not installed it yet.
[13:40] <bth1202> Then do I have change my box from 10.10 to 11.04?
[13:41] <Dr_Willis> bth1202:  ive heard that 10.4 should support usb3  - but ive not tried it yet.
[13:41] <bth1202> 10.10 or 11.04?
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> bth1202:  the 10.X series.
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> but as i said. it may depend on your chipset for the usb3 stuff.
[13:42] <sion> Dr_Willis, you're right about the names. does that mean that in 9.10 grub2 was the default?
[13:42] <Dr_Willis> sion:  I think it was the default on new installs.. but not on upgrades.
[13:42] <bth1202> Oh! really?
[13:43] <Alphanaut> quick question.  just installed 10.10, have 2 monitors, one laptop and one external.  i cant seem to get any wallpaper to show when i connect by vnc, even though in the vnc config the "hide wallpaper" checkmark is unticked
[13:43] <Dr_Willis> bth1202:  i was asking about usb3 in here the other day.. I think that was the answer i got. 'it should work if your chipset is supported'  but Ive not tried it.. yet.
[13:43] <sion> Dr_Willis, well I'm writing about it, do you think it's OK to say that grub2 has been the default bootloader since 9.10?
[13:43] <bth1202> Then I have to reboot this box to see if it can be alright.
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> sion:  i imagine the grub2 wiki page/docs tell you when. worse that can happen is comeone corrects you.
[13:44] <Dr_Willis> 'grub2 has been the default for the last few ubuntu releases'  :)
[13:44] <madc|SPYnX> how decode mss2 codec in ubuntu?
[13:44] <bth1202> Thanks a lot. Then chipset, too. Actually, I'm worried about it because my box is a little older one.
[13:45] <bth1202> Thanks a lot anyway,
[13:45] <sion> I wouldn't say 'last few releases' in case it gets read a few years from now, thanks for the help!
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> ive only recently seen usb3 hard drives or usb3 expansion cards. :)
[13:45] <madc|SPYnX> HI
[13:45] <madc|SPYnX> how decode mss2 codec in ubuntu?
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> cant get the expansion card in the one pc i want.. because its out of power conectors. need one for the card.
[13:45] <madc|SPYnX> how decode mss2 codec in ubuntu?
[13:45] <Dr_Willis> madc|SPYnX:  try playing it in vlc or mplayer yet?
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> !codecs
[13:46] <Roasted_> Does anybody know how I can set up an auto-link on an Ubuntu desktop to a Windows file server on the domain? I have Ubuntu on the Windows domain but I'm trying to figure out how domain users can get a link to their server folder when they log in to an Ubuntu system.
[13:46] <Dr_Willis> I cant recall ever seeing a file using mss2 codec..
[13:46] <jenia> When I right-click on desktop on mounted CD-Rom and Unmount it or anywhere in Nautilus on some video files and go to Properties, Nautilus crashes. I.e. desktop with icons and the background disappears and all Nautilus windows close. When I open some folder in Nautilus again, desktop with icons and the background reloads back.

[13:46] <jenia> I think that some file is corrupt, but I don't know which.
[13:46] <madc|SPYnX> I've already try to run but does not respond
[13:47] <madc|SPYnX> apt-get install mplayer???
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> !info gmplayer
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> !info gnome-mplayer
[13:47] <Dr_Willis> madc|SPYnX:  mplayer can make use of the w32codecs also. i tend to use vlc for my video playing needs.
[13:48] <sion> madc|SPYnX, install mplayer and the good, bad, ugly & ugly (multiverse)
[13:48] <madc|SPYnX> ok i'll try it
[13:48] <madc|SPYnX> how? @sion
[13:48] <sion> Dr_Willis, madc|SPYnX don't know if it's old but VLC forum says it doesn't support mss2
[13:48] <sion> madc|SPYnX, open a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T and type sudo apt-get install mplayer
[13:48] <Dr_Willis> sion:  proberly some special codec used by ms for copy protection then that they cant support because its undocumented.
[13:49] <madc|SPYnX> how about the bad ugly and good
[13:49] <sion> Dr_Willis, seems so, it seems to have a lot to do with DRM
[13:49] <Dr_Willis> sion:  sounds like a reson to 'just say no' :)

[13:50] <Guest66271> guys, i am using 10.04 LTS
[13:50] <Guest66271> i d like to install gnome-shell and I read i should do
[13:50] <Guest66271> sudo apt-get install gnome-shell     gnome-shell –replace
[13:50] <Dr_Willis> !info gnome-shell
[13:50] <Guest66271> this is for 10.10; does that work in 10.04 LTS?
[13:50] <Roasted_> Does anybody know how I can set up an auto-link on an Ubuntu desktop to a Windows file server on the domain? I have Ubuntu on the Windows domain but I'm trying to figure out how domain users can get a link to their server folder when they log in to an Ubuntu system.
[13:50] <Dr_Willis> Guest66271:  any gnome shell in the 10.04 repos.. may be Quite old..
[13:51] <sion> madc|SPYnX, do you mind if i send you the names of the plugins in a private message? there are quite a lot
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> Guest66271:   gnome-shell --replace should work in any release..
[13:51] <madc|SPYnX> ok
[13:51] <Guest66271> Dr_Willis, so how to go from 10.04 LTS to 10.10?
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> Guest66271:   You want to upgrade your system? thats doable.
[13:51] <Dr_Willis> !upgrade
[13:52] <Dr_Willis> Guest66271:  you may want to just wait for 11.04 to come out.
[13:52] <bc81> nevermind, i got it.  the command needs to be run when in pairing mode
[13:52] <Licuadora> Hello. I forgot my BIOS password and now I am trying to recover it by installing the BIOS again following a tutorial on the net, they say I need a usb stick formated in FAT, and put the .fd file in the root of the usb stick ( how do you store something in a root??)  then conect it to the AA1 ( do not know what that is, but since it is a USB stick, I'll stick it to the USB port...) Any way, is this the right way to do a recovery? I do not want to mess
[13:52] <Licuadora> my netbook
[13:53] <LjL> Licuadora: isn't it easier to remove the CMOS battery?
[13:53] <Dr_Willis> Licuadora:  'root' is the highest level of the drive...  ie: d:  not d:/somedir/
[13:53] <sion> madc|SPYnX, got it?
[13:53] <DJones> Licuadora: I would guess that the AA! refers to an "Acer Aspire One"
[13:53] <Guest66271> Dr_Willis, don t get why i should wait: i want to try gnome 3 not unity. and this computer won t suit the 11.04 anyway...
[13:53] <madc|SPYnX> tnx sion
[13:53] <sion> madc|SPYnX, you're welcome
[13:54] <Guest66271> won t it be easier to go from 10.10 to 11.04 than 10.04 LTS to 11.04?
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> Guest66271:  i would suggest some updated live cd that comes with gnome-3, for a good 'test' of gnome3
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> Just running gnome-shell --replace, will proberly give you a mixed gnome+gnomeshell desktop
[13:54] <biagio> ciao
[13:54] <biagio> !list
[13:54] <Guest66271> Dr_Willis, ok. But this machine, from a liveCD, and my experience on liveCDs is that everything is SO slow...
[13:54] <Dr_Willis> Is gnome-shell even in a usealbe state right now? ive not heard much about it in some time.
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> Guest66271:  its a 'test' so what if it s a little slow..
[13:55] <sion> I thought Gnome 3.0 was only coming out next month?
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> Guest66271: install it to a flash drive for some speed boots. or set up grub2 to boot the iso file. :)
[13:55] <sion> I think that's when the release party is anyway
[13:55] <Dr_Willis> sion:  with all the names/changes/stuff.. i havent been paying attention. :)
[13:56] <Guest66271> Dr_Willis, ok. sion, it s for April, 11th. Right. But can  t wait. I ll still try to upgrade to 10.10 then teste the repos
[13:56] <Dr_Willis> I havent seen much in any of the new 'desktops' that will make my work-flow any better.
[13:56] <lol> siema
[13:56] <t0bis`> Hi, someone with some knowledge on installing patched .deb ?
[13:56] <sinisterstuf> Dr_Willis, from what i've been reading about gnome3.0 it aims to improve your workflow a lot
[13:57] <Dr_Willis> sinisterstuf:  if your work flow is the same as they designed it for I guess. :)
[13:57]  * Dr_Willis wonders if 'work flow' is a new buzz word..
[13:57] <sipior> Dr_Willis: an old one :-)
[13:57] <sinisterstuf> Dr_Willis, well they tested it on different people. some big differences are that there are no more minimise and maximise buttons, only close
[13:58] <sinisterstuf> and no more gnome panels either
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> sinisterstuf:  that change totally breaks my work flow.
[13:58] <sinisterstuf> uses workspaces instead
[13:58] <sinisterstuf> Dr_Willis, do you ever minimise things?
[13:58] <Dr_Willis> i fullscreen  everything normally.. so  the panels/workspaces dont really matter.
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> my pannel works same as a workspace.
[13:59] <sinisterstuf> Dr_Willis, anyway, they removed the buttons, not the functionality, you'll still be able to fullscreen things
[13:59] <Licuadora> Dr_Willis, So, should I create a new directory (folder) in the USB stick so the Bios thinks is a root?
[13:59] <sinisterstuf> just you won't press maximise, you'll drag the windows to the top of the screen
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> Im reminded of the still nice featureset of good ole 'windowmaker'
[13:59] <Dr_Willis> sinisterstuf:  i hate the drag to side maxamizes/whatever stuff.. always doing it by accident
[13:59] <karlo94> I was the windows user and on windows it is not normal if I have such many processes like on ubuntu, is it normal for linux?
[14:00] <sinisterstuf> Dr_Willis, i think i'm to new to know windowmaker
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> Many of these old window maangers still ahve some VERY nice features I miss.
[14:00] <sinisterstuf> karlo94, i have 169 processes, 1 of which is running (according to conky) what about you?
[14:00] <Dr_Willis> Vertical 'dock/launcher' = the windowmaker warf. Now redone in unity. :)
[14:01] <Guest66271> another one: any kernel > 2.6.31 is not able to boot: screen gets black and nothing happens...
[14:01] <sinisterstuf> Dr_Willis, I achieved a 'similar' effect with docky in panel-mode aligned to the left
[14:01] <t0bis`> Someone with some knowledge on installing patched .deb ? ( make && makefile )
[14:01] <karlo94> sinisterstuf, how I can view it without conky?
[14:01] <Guest66271> so in my updates, it s a bit hard cause i can t use newer kernels and i stick to my old kernel boot
[14:02] <Guest66271> Dr_Willis, i m upgrading :)   had to do it. wifi doesn t work anyway in any kernel now...
[14:02] <sinisterstuf> karlo94, how about the command: pstree
[14:02] <sinisterstuf> t0bis`, what are you trying to do?
[14:03] <Guest66271> Dr_Willis, it s all about old inprocomm chipset from windows drivers (ndiswrapper)
[14:03] <sinisterstuf> Dr_Willis, I think I have used window maker, except it didn't look nearly as fancy as it does in the gallery on their website
[14:03] <karlo94> sinisterstuf, it doesn't print out how many processes are there :/
[14:03] <Submarine> hi there
[14:04] <Submarine> Does Ubuntu 10.10 use /dev/udev rules for USB devices?
[14:04] <Submarine> Or some other scheme?
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> sinisterstuf:  its not fancy at all. its clean and tidy.  it can even run on  low # of color screens nicely heh.
[14:04] <Dr_Willis> !udev
[14:05] <bc81> phoenixsampras: just a heads up...found a nice workaround for my bluetooth headset issue from an hour ago (in case you're interested) http://askubuntu.com/questions/8409/autoconnecting-bluetooth-devices
[14:05] <Dr_Willis> I get confuse is hal now replaced by udev.. or was it the other way around?
[14:05] <Dr_Willis> or is there a new name to rember?
[14:06] <sinisterstuf> karlo94, it might not be accurate but you can count the numbe of lines output by pstree by typing: pstree | wc -l
[14:07] <sinisterstuf> Dr_Willis, i think hal was probably replaced by something else (probably udev) not the other way around
[14:07] <phoenixsampras> bc81: thank you
[14:07] <karlo94> sinisterstuf, 88 processes
[14:08] <sinisterstuf> karlo94, that's not so much is it? how many do you estimate you had running in windows?
[14:08] <bc81> phoenixsampras: sure thing.  i think it's quite a clever script.  too bad this behavior isn't already built in to ubuntu
[14:08] <natrixnatrix89> hi guys. I'm trying to copy 170 gb data to an external usb hdd. Now that i've reached 45 gb the copy speed has decreased by two thirds. so it's now three times slower. Why is that so?
[14:09] <sinisterstuf> karlo94, btw I can really recommend you install conky, it's very cool
[14:09] <karlo94> sinisterstuf, something like 35
[14:09] <karlo94> sinisterstuf, I know but my computer is to slow, I tryed it, but it doesn't work :/
[14:09] <sinisterstuf> karlo94, I suppose linux just splits things into smaller tasks
[14:09] <sinisterstuf> karlo94, do you have enough swap space?
[14:09] <t0bis`> sinisterstuf I want to install a patched wine
[14:10] <d_e_r_p> wine sucks.
[14:10] <dejan_> I just installed ubuntu do I have build in ansi c compiler?
[14:10] <sinisterstuf> t0bis`, and you have the deb? can you not just: gdebi packagename.deb
[14:10] <t0bis`> it's not a deb
[14:10] <karlo94> sinisterstuf, how do I can look swap space? xD
[14:10] <d_e_r_p> dejan_: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[14:11] <dejan_> gcc is build in?
[14:11] <t0bis`> i have followed this tutorial : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=4438288&postcount=3
[14:11] <sinisterstuf> dejan_, the GNU C Compiler comes bundled with Ubuntu
[14:11] <d_e_r_p> dejan_: do the command o
[14:11] <dejan_> gcc is included in ubuntu?
[14:11] <d_e_r_p> yes
[14:11] <dejan_> thanks
[14:11] <natrixnatrix89> So no one can tell me why copy speed decreases while copying large files?
[14:11] <d_e_r_p> add sudo apt-get install build-essential too
[14:12] <sinisterstuf> karlo94, there should be a partition on your harddrive used for swap space, the size of the partition is how much swap space you have
[14:13] <sinisterstuf> t0bis`, in that tutorial the first block of code is to create a deb file and the second part is to uninstall wine, after that you just double-click the deb file you made in step 1
[14:13] <Dr_Willis> gcc is not installed by default. but its in the repos..
[14:13] <karlo94> sinisterstuf, hmm, I do not know :/ ..I have just one partition
[14:14] <Dr_Willis> karlo94:  try the 'free' command.
[14:14] <Alphanaut> anyone know where vino saves config info?
[14:14] <sinisterstuf> Dr_Willis, thanks, didn't know that command
[14:14] <t0bis`> sinisterstuf the point is i don't find a .deb in the new folder, only the usual files with wine make and makefile
[14:14] <karlo94> Dr_Willis, total swap:1690620
[14:15] <[segfault]> Alphanaut: .vino if I remember correctly
[14:15] <Alphanaut> haha
[14:15] <Alphanaut> great
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> karlo94:  there ya go..
[14:15] <Dr_Willis> karlo94:  free -m = shows it in mb.
[14:15] <jenia> what log do I need to look into to see errors if some program crashed, so I can see why it crashed?
[14:16] <sinisterstuf> t0bis`, you should have received some kind of error during the 'make' or at some other point, but most likely there
[14:16] <karla> t0bis`, from what I understand you've built a custom/patched wine and you want to install it via the .deb mechanism??
[14:16] <karlo94> Dr_Willis, 1650 mb ..thats good? :D and tnx
[14:16] <t0bis`> yes karla
[14:16] <Dr_Willis> karlo94:  thats what you got.. what you need.. depends on what you are doing
[14:16] <karlo94> hahah karla from where are you? xD
[14:17] <karla> karlo94, US, lol
[14:17] <karlo94> karla, croatia (in europe)
[14:18] <karla> karlo94, i know :)) (the europe part)
[14:18] <asdofindia> there're several bots in IRC with features (like lookin up dictionary, wikipedia, etc)... is there a similar bot (not related to IRC) running in terminal or so (which i can use alone) ??
[14:18] <d_e_r_p> Hmm
[14:18] <jenia> what log do I need to look into to see errors if some program crashed, so I can see why it crashed?
[14:18] <karlo94> karla, many people do not know that croatia exists.. xD
[14:18] <d_e_r_p> asdofindia: eggdrop lol
[14:19] <LjL> asdofindia: i don't know, but you could always run a local irc server i guess
[14:19] <sinisterstuf> asdofindia, you could probably install things to emacs or vim to make them do that for you, but I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to achieve
[14:19] <asdofindia> i just don't want to run firefox for every dictionary query
[14:19] <sinisterstuf> karlo94, weird, but I would have guessed you're Croatian
[14:19] <karla> karlo94, what you want to do is install wine using DESTDIR= and then create a control file and build a .deb using dpkg-deb
[14:19] <ledbettj> asdofindia: you can use the 'dict' command from the console to look up definitions
[14:19] <sinisterstuf> asdofindia, then why not use the Dictionary program?
[14:19] <Jeruvy> jenia: you can check in /var/log/messages or see if your program logs to any of them.  YOu can also access the logs via System Admin Log Viewer
[14:20] <asdofindia> sinisterstuf, but wikipedia too
[14:20] <asdofindia> ya, dict command's nice
[14:20] <asdofindia> i ws just askin if there was a bot
[14:20] <asdofindia> (whom i could call a slave)
[14:21] <asdofindia> (it'd be a fantastic starting point for AI softwares)
[14:21] <sinisterstuf> asdofindia, you could read the source code for dict, see how it works, and write something similar for wikipedia
[14:21] <asdofindia> ya i cud
[14:22] <asdofindia> but if someone has already done it
[14:22] <asdofindia> it'd be a waste
[14:22] <asdofindia> nobody has, i guess
[14:22] <ledbettj> if you install libwww-wikipedia-perl you get a 'wikipedia' script that can do what you want
[14:23] <LjL> asdofindia: i'd look at wolfram alpha as well, since it integrates a dictionary as well as several other "AI" things. haven't found a client so far though.
[14:23] <sinisterstuf> asdofindia, at the terminal type: dig +short txt <keyword>.wp.dg.cx
[14:23] <shcherbak> asdofindia: there is envbot and supybot
[14:23] <sinisterstuf> asdofindia, replace <keyword> with what you want to search wikipedia for
[14:23] <Timr> Hiya. I'm having trouble with a radeon HD 4670 graphics
[14:23] <Morten_> Is there anything to do about the poor rendering of .png pictures in a .pdf file using Evince?
[14:24] <sinisterstuf> asdofindia, that's what you were trying to do, right?
[14:24] <Somelauw> Hi, can I combine awesome with some graphical effects like compiz?
[14:24] <sinisterstuf> whoever mentioned wolfram, google pwns it
[14:24] <coz_> Morten_,  not sure ... but it doesnt seem to be poor rendering on this end
[14:24] <LjL> sinisterstuf: obviously no it doesn't, as they're totally different things
[14:24] <t0bis`> I need some glasses... I've just found the .deb right upstair, sorry for disturbing and thx sinisterstuf and karla ;)
[14:24] <Timr> With the radeon driver the screen gets garbled after the login. I installed the fglrx from ubuntu package manager and with the fglrx I get a picture. But the 3d acceleration and open gl apps don't work
[14:24] <Morten_> coz_, which version do you have?
[14:24] <coz_> Morten_,  are they your images or ones that cam with the pdf
[14:24] <Jeruvy> Morten_: have you looked to see if its a bug?
[14:24] <asdofindia> sinisterstuff, yeah, sth laddat... i'll alias it
[14:25] <coz_> Morten_,   <IP_ADDRESS>
[14:25] <coz_> Morten_, 2.30.3
[14:25] <Morten_> coz_, they are my images, and they look fine in okular.
[14:25] <juxta> what advantages does amavisd offer over running spamassassin by itself?
[14:25] <karla> t0bis`, it's
[14:25] <Morten_> Jeruvy, a bug? - its like that for all my .png's
[14:25] <Timr> Ati download link for the latest Linux driver doesn't work..any ideas on what I could try to do to get this to work
[14:25] <karla> t0bis`, ok
[14:25] <sinisterstuf> t0bis`, you're welcome
[14:25] <coz_> Morten_,  ah  mm  what resolution did you save them as  and how did you create the pdf?
[14:25] <Jeruvy> Morten_: I asked, if you checked...
[14:25] <Morten_> coz_, ah ok, perhaps I should update.
[14:25] <Morten_> Jeruvy, how do I check for that?
[14:26] <Alphanaut> how do i get wallpaper to show on my external monitor instead of the laptop monitor which i have disabled?  even though i've selected a wallpaper the external monitor just shows a black background
[14:26] <Jeruvy> launchpad.net, and search there.  That is the official bug tracker.
[14:26] <Somelauw> AlsoAlso, when I enable to much visual effects, my graphical card crashes completely.
[14:26] <Somelauw> Is there any computer that is known to deal very well with graphical stuff like compiz.
[14:26] <trick> hey guys i just installed windowsxp on virtualbox VM, how do i get the internet working in the vm?
[14:27] <trick> so i can surf the net from windows
[14:27] <coz_> Somelauw,  compiz is most reliant on the video card
[14:27] <coz_> Somelauw, of course a higher en CPU and memory cant hurt
[14:27] <sinisterstuf> trick, I think you can connect it to your ubuntu computer, and get internet from tehre
[14:27] <Somelauw> trick, you should probably install some drivers from your manufacturer.
[14:27] <Morten_> coz_, hmm, they are 796*572
[14:27] <Somelauw> I have an Nvidia graphics card.
[14:28] <t0bis`> trick, verify your type of the connection between your virtual network card and the physical one
[14:28] <Alphanaut> i wonder if my question is too pedestrian for you guys
[14:28] <Morten_> Jeruvy, ok, thanks, I will look.
[14:28] <coz_> Morten_,  what about DPI
[14:28] <haythem> hello
[14:28] <jenia> Jeruvy: ok, thanx, I will check it now, I have Nautilus crashing when I rightclick on some video files and go to properties or CD-Rom and try to unmount it, but not every time.
[14:28] <coz_> Morten_,  generall I use inkscape to create pdf files and set DPI either at 300 dpi  or 600dpi
[14:29] <Gyndawyr> hi
[14:29] <coz_> Morten_,  this way regardless of printed size both images and text should be near flawless
[14:29] <Morten_> coz_, I don't know the DPI, I get the images from the program, root.. Is there a way to check it?
[14:29] <Morten_> coz_, well, it looks fine when I print it.
[14:30] <coz_> Morten_,  oh ok  let me check on testing dpi hold on
[14:30] <Morten_> coz_, and in other pdf-viewers
[14:30] <bob__> Somelauw: have you searched for drivers?
[14:30] <haythem> how to configure polipo to go through an auto-config proxy (proxy.pac) ?
[14:31] <Gyndawyr> I tried to install ubuntu on a K9MM-V motherboard, installed alongside windows, when it finished and needed to restart... clicked restart and it hung on this big purple screen
[14:31] <Gyndawyr> when I restarted it with the power button, it just booted to windows and I'm trying the install again
[14:31] <Gyndawyr> what's up with it? :P
[14:31] <coz_> Morten_,  interesting that evince is doing this... although I find okluar nice but a bit much for my needs
[14:32] <coz_> Gyndawyr,  are you sure your cdrom is set in bios to boot first?
[14:32] <coz_> be right back...nature call
[14:32] <Morten_> coz_, yeah, it very strange and kinda irritating. Okular is too bloated somehow, and I like evince.
[14:32] <Gyndawyr> does it have to boot from CD after the restart?
[14:33] <Somelauw> Sorry, for some reason my computer crashed (probably some graphical effects)
[14:33] <Gyndawyr> that might have been the problem. Though, it's hung before when I tried the "live CD" option in exactly the same way
[14:33] <Jeruvy> Gyndawyr: what was the exact same way?
[14:34] <Gyndawyr> it had the same problem but on the live CD
[14:34] <Gyndawyr> froze up on a big purple screen
[14:34] <IdleOne> Gyndawyr: When installation is complete it asks you to reboot the machine, it also tells you to remove the CD and hit enter. So, no it does not need the CD to reboot.
[14:37] <Somelauw> I believe coz_ was saying that I need more cpu and memory.
[14:37] <Somelauw> I really like graphical effects, but my ubuntu hangs a lot when enabling them.
[14:37] <Somelauw> Maybe I can enable graphical effects if I disable my de or something?
[14:38] <edbian> Somelauw, What are the specs of your system?
[14:38] <Somelauw> What is the command to see specs?
[14:38] <karla> Somelauw, not all hardware is made equal, select the effects which don't have a severe penalty on you particular system's performance
[14:38] <IdleOne> Somelauw: without a DE you have no use for desktop effects
[14:38] <karla> !lshw | Somelauw
[14:38] <Timr> Anybody have a link to the 11.2 catalyst driver for ati cards.. Because the official link on atis website doesn't work
[14:38] <Gyndawyr> it just worked off the live cd somehow
[14:38] <fckingwicked> is there a command to hide all panels
[14:38] <karla> Somelauw, ugh, just lshw
[14:39] <coz_> Somelauw,  well  which card is in the system now,,, in terminal       lspci | grep -i vga
[14:40] <vingtras> hi. is there any way to install ubuntu using the alternate cd without internet connection?
[14:41] <llutz_> vingtras: alternate install won't need inet-connection
[14:41] <NotTooDumb3> hi all does ubuntu has omapfb for beagle board?
[14:41] <DJones> vingtras: Yes, the alternate cd will install a full version of ubuntu, it just uses a text based installer instead of the graphical one of the livecd
[14:41] <Guest48340> why
[14:42] <Guest48340> why guest
[14:42] <Guest48340> why why
[14:42] <alabd> Good day all , i-humble have done this guide http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=10100007&postcount=6 ...but result is > http://pastebin.com/S4zXJYrx , how to solve it ?
[14:42] <stanman246> hi i'm trying to install 10.10 64b desktop on my 8100, but after the boot from the cd the system freezes. md5sum is correct, could anyone help me?
[14:42] <Somelauw> 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G96M [Quadro FX 770M] (rev a1)
[14:42] <vingtras> llutz_: when running the install it asks me for my internet connection
[14:42] <Abhijit> stanman246, can you boot into live cd?
[14:42] <Somelauw> Or do you really want to see all the specs?
[14:42] <llutz_> vingtras: just say no
[14:43] <Somelauw> http://pastebin.com/zrhBkUXZ
[14:43] <stanman246> nope
[14:43] <vingtras> but then i cant finish the install
[14:43] <llutz_> vingtras: we're talking about alternate not the minimal-cd?
[14:43] <NotTooDumb3> hi all does ubuntu has omapfb for beagle board?
[14:43] <Somelauw> Windows works most of the time, but ubuntu feels a little crashy on this computer.
[14:44] <Abhijit> stanman246, ohh ok no idea then
[14:44] <coz_> Somelauw,  that video card should be more than adequate to run compiz
[14:44] <coz_> Somelauw,  oh mm hold on let me check something
[14:44] <Somelauw> okay
[14:44] <stanman246> Abhijit, should i try the alternate cd? I can move my mouse around and the panels load after that the system freezes
[14:45] <Somelauw> Since my computer already crashed 2 times in 15 minutes when enabling visual effects.
[14:45] <stanman246> it's an i-5 660 machine
[14:45] <coz_> Somelauw,  did you install t he nvidia driver for that?
[14:45] <Somelauw> Yes
[14:45] <Abhijit> stanman246, i reallyu dont have any idea what to do if cd doont boot. i was actually thinking to confirm that you have 64 bit cpu and to do that we need to boot into live cd . thats why i aksed yo what question
[14:46] <AkumaStreak> Anyone who thinks they might have a job lead for a remote C/C++/Objective-C developer, please message me for resume/portfolio... thanks :-]
[14:46] <ikonia> AkumaStreak: please don't advertise in here
[14:46] <coz_> Somelauw,  ok open a terminal   type    compiz --replace ccp &  and if any errors paste the entire readout on   http://paste.ubuntu.com/
[14:46] <Somelauw> version 173
[14:46] <stanman246> Abhijit, i see... it's a 64bits cpu allright
[14:46] <Abhijit> coz_, my that day problem of flash player solved. we find the packecd installed by doing some dpkg -l | grep flash then then we removed it. and problem solved. one guy from another channel. help me. thanks to  your time too!!! :-)
[14:46] <Somelauw> i will try
[14:46] <Abhijit> stanman246, hmm
[14:47] <Somelauw> what is that line of code supposed to do?
[14:47] <coz_> Abhijit,  ah I thought t here were leftovers :)   very cool
[14:47] <Abhijit> coz_, :-)
[14:47] <coz_> Somelauw,  that should start compiz
[14:47] <Gyndawyr> ubuntu has taken half of the space from the windows partition for no reason
[14:48] <Gyndawyr> is this what it's supposed to do?
[14:48] <coz_> Somelauw,  just dont close the terminal
[14:48] <Somelauw> I did
[14:48] <Gyndawyr> I thought "install alongside" would use the free remaining space on the drive
[14:48] <coz_> Somelauw,  oh then compiz will close
[14:48] <Somelauw> Oh, okay console it still open
[14:48] <coz_> Somelauw,   ok and are there errors
[14:48] <Somelauw> And all minimized windows suddenly got actived
[14:48] <LjL> Gyndawyr: i think there is a separate "use free space" option
[14:48] <alabd> any opinion ?
[14:48] <Somelauw> No errors so far
[14:48] <coz_> ok
[14:48] <coz_> Somelauw,  ok now move a window
[14:49] <Gyndawyr> LjL: is there any way of getting my NTFS space back>
[14:49] <LjL> Gyndawyr: i think GParted should be able to resize NTFS
[14:49] <fckingwicked> Gyndawyr, gparted
[14:49] <Gyndawyr> does that come with ubuntu?
[14:49] <Somelauw> But since all my gnome-terminals are transparant, my screen is noisy (but in a beautifyl way)
[14:49] <LjL> !info gparted | Gyndawyr, it's in the repositories
[14:49] <fckingwicked> you should probably do it from a live cd
[14:49] <Gyndawyr> and can it convert the ext4 space into NTFS, assuming ubuntu decided it wants it? :)
[14:49] <Somelauw> I just moved a window
[14:50] <coz_> Somelauw, ok  type     exit in that terminal
[14:50] <Somelauw> I typed exit
[14:50] <LjL> Gyndawyr: don't know if it can resize ext4 yet. worst case, you reinstall ubuntu :P
[14:50] <Roasted_> Does anybody know how I can set up an auto-link on an Ubuntu desktop to a Windows file server on the domain? I have Ubuntu on the Windows domain but I'm trying to figure out how domain users can get a link to their server folder when they log in to an Ubuntu system.
[14:50] <Somelauw> Still no errors :P
[14:50] <coz_> Somelauw,  now go to system/preferences/compizconfig settings manager
[14:50] <coz_> Somelauw,  when you tyhpe exit  hit enter also
[14:50] <Somelauw> I did
[14:51] <Somelauw> I did type enter off course :P
[14:51] <ehidle> Quick question about grub config on 10.04 server... I'd like a VGA console, but the top of grub.cfg has in big letters "DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE,"  so I imagine that if I add the necessary parameters, it might break some other automated process that manipulates that file... so, how does one _properly_ switch 10.04 server to a vga console?
[14:51] <coz_> Somelauw,  ok :)  just wanted to be sure
[14:51] <Somelauw> But nothing really changed when I exited that terminal.
[14:51] <coz_> Somelauw,  right ,, did you open compizconfig-settings manager
[14:51] <Somelauw> I did
[14:52] <coz_> Somelauw,  ok on the left if the list of categories... click on the   Effects category
[14:52] <Somelauw> yes
[14:52] <coz_> Somelauw,  make sure  window decoration  wobbly windows and Animations plugins are ticked
[14:53] <Somelauw> Fading windows is ticked to.
[14:53] <coz_> Somelauw,  click on the Window management category now... tick...move window...place windows...Put..resize winodw
[14:54] <Somelauw> When clicking wobbly windows: Plugin Snapping Windows provides feature edgeresistance which is also provided by Wobbly Windows
[14:54] <coz_> Somelauw,  now grab a window on its title bar and move it around...does it wobble?
[14:55] <dejan_> how can I see the ip which wireless router dhcp assigned me?
[14:55] <TingTongTux> hello ubuntu
[14:55] <Somelauw> It wants me to disable snapping windows when I want to enable wobbly windows
[14:55] <coz_> Somelauw,  disable it
[14:55] <stanman246> i'm grabbing 10.04.2 lts 64b now to see if that would work. I really like to have 10.10 64b on the machine though :)
[14:55] <Somelauw> Yes windows do wobble.
[14:55] <coz_> Somelauw,  ok then compiz is running
[14:55] <yongleflibbit> guys what would cause a 'Bad file number' error in ssh?
[14:56] <TingTongTux> problem:wvdial gives error code 16 & 17 at odd times :  why and how to avoid it??
[14:56] <Pumpkin-> dejan_: I'd guess ifconfig will have it
[14:56] <Guest73077> 怎么是英文的
[14:56] <coz_> if some questions are not being answered here at this particular time..espeically networking... etc   you can try ##Linux channel
[14:56] <Somelauw> I am just seeking a way to make it crash less often.
[14:57] <dejan_> Pumpkin-: ok thanks i will search a while
[14:57] <coz_> Somelauw,  not sure what the crashing is about
[14:57] <TingTongTux> coz_, was that for me?/
[14:57] <coz_> Somelauw,  this is ubuntu 10.10   ... yes?
[14:57] <Somelauw> Yes, 10.10
[14:57] <coz_> TingTongTux,  sure if it applies :)
[14:57] <Somelauw> But it crashes a lot when working.
[14:57] <ryuguns> Hi guys!!!
[14:57] <coz_> Somelauw,  not sure what that is about... but in  compizconfig settings manager also known as    ccsm  there is a  carsh report plugin
[14:57] <ryuguns> Question...
[14:58] <ryuguns> Why are you not using the server at irc.ubuntu.com ?
[14:58] <Guest73077> 有打中文字的不？
[14:58] <Who828> guys i got this gnome failed load panel error, now my sound & empathy panel is not being loaded on start up
[14:59] <Who828> yes i foolishy deleted the panel
[14:59] <Who828> anyway to restore it ?
[14:59] <Somelauw> Nah, what happens is that it often just freezes, so I can see my screen, but not do anything.
[14:59] <sipior> ryuguns: what difference does it make?
[14:59] <codemagician> can anyone help with Xorg eating up 100% and hanging my 10.10 desktop machine constantly?
[14:59] <IdleOne> !resetpanels | Who828
[14:59] <ryuguns> meh...
[14:59] <codemagician> logging in remotely and running top shows 100% Xorg process
[14:59] <coz_> codemagician,  nvidia graphics?
[14:59] <Somelauw> And sometimes, my screen turn to some color before it completetely freezes
[14:59] <ryuguns> I thought it would make more sense
[14:59] <ryuguns> lol
[14:59] <Somelauw> It is very annoying
[14:59] <codemagician> coz_,  yes its an ASUS EN210 with GeForce 210 chipset
[15:00] <Somelauw> And when you restart and check the logs, they are all empty.
[15:00] <coz_> codemagician,   could be the nvidia driver causing this... you may want to try a different driver in the additional hardware  dialog
[15:00] <codemagician> coz_, I have already updated to latest drivers
[15:00] <Somelauw> Only google chrome seems to understand that something crashes since it offers to restore the websites you visited last time.
[15:00] <coz_> codemagician,  oooo ok
[15:00] <codemagician> coz_,  i used the PPA repo
[15:00] <codemagician> coz_, took it from 260.19.06 to 270.29
[15:01] <Somelauw> Also for some reason when I rebooted ubuntu, it switched its theme to clearlooks for some reason.
[15:01] <coz_> codemagician,  ok ...often ,,,in the past  nvidia was the cuprit with this...  you might want to install  htop  and see exactly what is eating things up
[15:02] <codemagician> coz_, shall I leave it running on my remote machine
[15:02] <coz_> codemagician,  I suppose so  ,,, you mean while running htop?
[15:02] <Somelauw> Maybe it is because I visited google images.
[15:02] <Somelauw> I will visit google images right now and see if it will crash.
[15:03] <codemagician> coz_, i just installed it and I'm logged in from a laptop using SSH.  I will leave htop running and next time it goes screwy, what shall I look for?
[15:03] <coz_> Somelauw,   google images is also extremely poor  and a resource hog
[15:03] <coz_> codemagician,   cool  at least you should get an idea of what is hogging things up
[15:03] <codemagician> coz_, last time I used top and xorg was 100%
[15:04] <codemagician> coz_, it goes to 100% and even the  mouse pointer freezes
[15:04] <coz_> codemagician,   ooo   the first entry is  the one to look at ...the move down the list according the the least amount used
[15:04] <codemagician> coz_, im not even sure how to send xorg a signal to restart
[15:04] <coz_> codemagician, log off an don
[15:04] <coz_> and on
[15:04] <coz_> maybe?
[15:05] <codemagician> coz_, but how to I logoff if my desktop is frozen. is there a command line method?
[15:05] <Somelauw> Is google images really able to make pc's crash?
[15:05] <coz_> codemagician,   ctrl+alt+F1   log in     sudo  restart gdm or   sudo restart kdm depending what you use
[15:06] <Somelauw> When my computer freezes, I can't even switch to a tty.
[15:06] <Somelauw> Then it is really frozen
[15:06] <coz_> Somelauw,  and ctrl+alt+F1  doesnt work?
[15:06] <codemagician> coz_, using gnome but even ctrl-alt-F1 doesn't work when this occurs
[15:06] <juk> Somelauw: that's why God created reset button
[15:06] <coz_> codemagician,  mmm
[15:06] <codemagician> coz_, thats why I have to stay logged in remotely
[15:06] <coz_> codemagician,  ah mm  ok I am puzzled at this point
[15:07] <NotTooDumb3> what are .sys and .cmd files?
[15:07] <Somelauw> Yes, but I would rather fix the cause of my crash instead of pressing the restart button about 5 times an hour
[15:07] <codemagician> coz_, should i change the appearence settings
[15:08] <codemagician> coz_, Visual effects, none, standard or enhanced
[15:08] <Alphanaut> so anyone want to take a stab at this one.  on bootup the screen shows the background i selected, then a few seconds later the background goes black and i cant get it to show again.
[15:08] <coz_> codemagician,   well if testing for other things  yes  disable compiz  and choose  "None"  or  alt+F2   metacity --replace or in terminal   metacity --replace & disown
[15:08] <ryuguns>  well bye
[15:09] <codemagician> coz_, xorg is at 90% now
[15:09] <Roasted_> Does anybody know how I can set up an auto-link on an Ubuntu desktop to a Windows file server on the domain? I have Ubuntu on the Windows domain but I'm trying to figure out how domain users can get a link to their server folder when they log in to an Ubuntu system.
[15:09] <TingTongTux> problem:wvdial gives error code 16 & 17 at odd times :  why and how to avoid it??
[15:09] <codemagician> coz_, 95% and rising
[15:09] <coz_> codemagician,  my guess is that it is the nvidia driver
[15:09] <codemagician> coz_, is there anything I can do now before it blows up
[15:10] <coz_> codemagician,  I doubt it blow up but you should ceratinly report a bug with the ppa maintainers for this
[15:10] <Somelauw> Really, I hate it when stuff crashes.
[15:10] <coz_> codemagician,  is this xorgedgers stuff?
[15:12] <BluesKaj> Hiyas
[15:13] <coz_> BluesKaj,  hey guy
[15:13] <codemagician> coz_, had to hard reset.
[15:13] <coz_> codemagician,  oh  yeah thats the other alteranative :)
[15:13] <codemagician> coz_, last message I got was about submitting bug report
[15:13] <coz_> codemagician,  is this xorgedgers PPA?
[15:13] <blackshirt> hey
[15:13] <codemagician> coz_, but im not sure if its Xorg or nvidia drivers
[15:13] <BluesKaj> coz_, what if I wasn't a guy :)?
[15:14] <coz_> codemagician,  it would be a bug for the ppa  that you used for this
[15:14] <codemagician> coz_, im beginning to regret going for ubuntu
[15:14] <MagicJ> ssomehow I have broken the connection between mp3 and the decoder.  Now when I select an mp3 file movie player opens and says it needs the codec for text/html - how do I clear/fix this.  If I open the MP3 in rhythmbox all is ok
[15:14] <coz_> BluesKaj,   ah :)  dudette ?
[15:14] <coz_> codemagician,  no once you begin to deal with ppa's  and the like  it is no longer a default supported system ..so finding solutions is going to be much harder espeically in this channel
[15:14] <codemagician> coz_, my machine wont stay up for more than 20mins. i can't get any development done :-(
[15:14] <scampbell> have we heard anything about the last set of updates causing a red screen to appear over some flash video's probably on 32 bit machines only?
[15:15] <BluesKaj> my nick works for me , coz_ :)
[15:15] <codemagician> coz_, is there a channel for ppas?
[15:15] <coz_> codemagician,   mm  what were you using prior ?
[15:15] <codemagician> coz_, imac
[15:15] <coz_> BluesKaj,  :)
[15:15] <coz_> codemagician,   not that I am aware of... no but there should be on laucnpad  a place to report bugs for that ppa
[15:16] <Alphanaut> hmm any reason i cant seem to move the network manager applet on the top of screen status bar?
[15:16] <Alphanaut> it's locked in the far right corner and there's no unlock or move options
[15:16] <coz_> Alphanaut,  right click  untick Lock to panel middle click move >?
[15:16] <Alphanaut> they dont exist on this applet
[15:17] <coz_> Alphanaut,  I bet there is a nearly imperceptive line just before that ,,
[15:17] <Alphanaut> oh wait i had to click about 1/2 inch to the left where there's no icon
[15:17] <coz_> Alphanaut,  that is what you should right click
[15:17] <Alphanaut> yep
[15:17] <Alphanaut> :)
[15:17] <Alphanaut> yah i cant even see the line in this theme
[15:17] <motaka2> how can I install a tar package on ubuntu 8.04 ?
[15:17] <oliver_> codemagician, bug tracking for ppa's
[15:17] <Alphanaut> also stil no background image, cant get that to show no matter what i do
[15:17] <oliver_> codemagician, tu
 codemagician,   not that I am aware of... no but there should be on l
[15:17] <coz_> Alphanaut,  yeah I know ,, dome theme creators dont take everything they need into account
[15:18] <oliver_> codemagician , sorry wrong post     https://bugs.launchpad.net/
[15:18] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: "tar" isn't a "package"
[15:18] <dejan_> I have one advanced question
[15:18] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: its is jsut a compressed archive.  You'll ahve to loko at what it contains to see what you're supopsed to do with it
[15:18] <Alphanaut> what config file defines what desktop background i have selected?  perhaps i'll look in there
[15:18] <Alphanaut> X11.conf?
[15:18] <peep`> actually tar does not have compression
[15:18] <motaka2> [TK]D-Fender: I am new, I want to install mysqlworkbench , I have downloaded the source code , but I dont know what to do with the source code
[15:19] <Alphanaut> i dont see it in there tho
[15:19] <[TK]D-Fender> peep`: Sorry, yes.. I reflexively assumed the common g-zipped
[15:19] <peep`> i see :)
[15:19] <codemagician> oliver_, just registered. so I'll take a look to see if there is a bug
[15:19] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: You should be able to get that right from the Software Center
[15:20] <dejan_> my laptop is conected to 2 separate connections from different Internet service provider, so my lan is connected to conection 1 and myw an is conected to conection 2, so the connections are from separate isp and have nothing in common, so my question is: if 2 visitors come to my wwebsite, can I use 2 connections at the same time to upload pages to the visitors? with connection 1  i will handle first visitor and with conection 2 other visitor?
[15:20] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: Did you look?
[15:20] <motaka2> [TK]D-Fender: mysql workbench is not there
[15:20] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: http://www.mysql.com/downloads/workbench/
[15:21] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: they list Ubuntu specifically.  They should probably be giving yuo a .deb instead with that
[15:21] <dajhorn> Alphanaut: The desktop background image is part of your personal gnome configuration, not the system X11 configuration.
[15:21] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: indeed they do.  THIS is what you should be using
[15:21] <mah454> hellooooooooooooo !
[15:21] <Alphanaut> hmm well it refuses to show the background.  it shows the image for about 3 seconds after bootup but then disappears and the background is black
[15:22] <dajhorn> Alphanaut: Run gconf-editor and click /desktop/gnome/background for the settings.
[15:22] <motaka2> [TK]D-Fender:  I have tried this too. but since mine zis 8.04 none is working for me , they break in th emiddl of installation
[15:22] <bulfius> hi
[15:22] <Alphanaut> hahah that was it
[15:22] <dajhorn> Alphanaut: The background can be overridden by a theme.  Did you try customizing your theme?
[15:22] <Alphanaut> background was unticked for some reason
[15:22] <MajorAstro> what
[15:22] <Alphanaut> yes i did
[15:22] <Alphanaut> it wouldnt show
[15:23] <Alphanaut> but in gconf-editor i ticked image and it shows now
[15:23] <Alphanaut> thanks man
[15:23] <dajhorn> Alphanaut: Welcome.
[15:23] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: Very outdated at this point and no longer supported.  We really do recommend you upgrade..
[15:23] <motaka2> [TK]D-Fender: It is not my computer , I dont have the right to change the OS
[15:24] <[TK]D-Fender> motaka2: If you want to try that TYAR, extract it into a folder and go read the installation instructions
[15:27] <mah454> what is shutdown process number ?
[15:27] <fruitwerks> can someone help me with this fail2ban error? http://pastebin.com/25nhiNNZ
[15:27] <fruitwerks> mah454 - 6 I think
[15:27] <mah454> why 6 ?
[15:28] <rethus> back with my usb-problem... if i insert now usbstick, it will be mounted on /media as D612-6350 instead of /media/usb0
[15:28] <fruitwerks> maybe I don't know what you are asking :)
[15:28] <rethus> where can i change this
[15:28] <Roasted_> Hey guys - I'm trying to think of a way to auto-map any user that logs into our Ubuntu systems (on Windows domain) to their share on our Windows file server. Any ideas on how to do it? I don't care if it remaps to home directory, remaps to documents, or just creates a link on the desktop. I'm just trying to figure out how I can make it happen.
[15:29] <alex88> Roasted_: adding some scripts to .bashrc ?
[15:29] <codemagician> oliver_, seems there are articles about this problem dating back to 2005 on the web
[15:29] <Roasted_> alex88, hey, I'll do anything. I just have no idea *how* I can go about it. Do you have any ideas?
[15:29] <ahaziah77> k, can someone take a look at this for me, have had a little trouble since booting bt4 last night, ubuntu has disk error now
[15:29] <ahaziah77> http://imagebin.org/141650
[15:30] <dajhorn> Roasted_:  Use the 'login script=' option in the smb.conf file.
[15:30] <Roasted_> dajhorn, where's that at? I did a search for "login" in smb.conf and it said not found.
[15:30] <Roasted_> dajhorn, wait, LOGON script?
[15:30] <codemagician> anyone else seem 100% CPU on Xorg process before with Nvidia card?
[15:31] <codemagician> this bug has made my machine useless to use
[15:32] <ganjakat> hi, can someone help me? i'm looking for broadcom (wifi) 4313 bt4 driver, can't understand how to make it
[15:32] <ahaziah77> http://imagebin.org/141650
[15:33] <zacktu> if i have an nvidia graphics processor with Optimus and then select integrated in the bios does the nvidia graphics processor still draw from the battery?
[15:33] <mah454> what is shutdown process number ?
[15:33] <fruitwerks> mah454 - what are you trying to do?
[15:33] <dajhorn> Roasted_: Yes, that was a typo.  If your users will spend most of their time in the gnome desktop, then an alternative is to do it with gvfs.
[15:34] <Roasted_> dajhorn, we will only be using the gnome desktop. KDE has proven to still be far from sustainable in a business environment.
[15:34] <codemagician> crashed again
[15:34] <Roasted_> dajhorn, but I am not sure how I would utilize gvfs either.
[15:34] <lahwran> how would I use ulimit to set a hard 1gb ram limit? bash's man page isn't super clear on what will limit the memory
[15:34] <Roasted_> dajhorn, how would gvfs help me?
[15:35] <dajhorn> Roasted_: The domain share would appear with a nice icon in the left-pane of most file dialogs.  Look at the gvfs-mount command.
[15:35] <ahaziah77> http://imagebin.org/141650
[15:36] <oliver_> codemagician,  try changing  /etc/X11/xorg.conf         UseEvents True
[15:37] <dajhorn> Roasted_: In my experience, people understand "always put your files in that icon", but will forgot to use a regular mount point in their home directory.
[15:37] <Roasted_> dajhorn, well the other curve ball is I want it to auto mount for any user that logs in. If Bob logs in, I want a link to his share. If Fred logs in, I want him to have a link ot his share, etc.
[15:37] <Roasted_> dajhorn, so I guess I need this to work based on wildcards, almost, to probe whos logged in and seek that user share on our windwos file server and link up accordingly.
[15:37] <oliver_> codemagician , just add it under   "screen" section
[15:37] <asif> what is the best download manager?
[15:37] <dajhorn> Roasted_: That is why you use the %u substitution.  Details are in the smb.conf man page.
[15:38] <Roasted_> dajhorn, sounds good. Just wanted to make sure your suggestion was on page with what I was looking for. :)
[15:38] <codemagician> oliver_, what will it do?
[15:38] <dajhorn> Roasted_: np.
[15:38] <asif> hi
[15:38] <Roasted_> dajhorn, my only concern is some reading has suggested I need samba to act as a DC to make this work. I'm not sure how I feel about adding samba DC's to the mix of things.
[15:38] <ahaziah77> can no one help?
[15:39] <jenia> what file do I need to edit so that history doesn't remember duplicates?
[15:39] <dajhorn> Roasted_: You can do share mapping on the AD side too.
[15:39] <Roasted_> dajhorn, still through gvfs?
[15:39] <jenia> what config file do I need to edit so that console history doesn't remember duplicates?
[15:39] <dajhorn> Roasted_: Your choice as the administrator.  This is a common problem, so there is more than one solution.
[15:40] <Roasted_> dajhorn, I want simplicity, yet reliability. Do you have an opinion as to which the beast route is?
[15:40] <TingTongTux> //\\\--------wvdial help----error---16--and--17----------how----do------I-----ditch------it------/////\\\\\\
[15:40] <jenia> what config file do I need to edit so that console history remembers only unique consecutive commands?
[15:40] <oliver_> codemagician, nop its "device" section sorry check out this link http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=39612
[15:41] <dajhorn> Roasted_: Don't mixmatch domain controllers.  Stay 100% Samba, or 100% Windows.
[15:41] <Roasted_> dajhorn, that's my fear. I'd rather stay 100% windows for now.
[15:41] <elFidel> jenia: .bashrc
[15:42] <ikonia> TingTongTux: it would be great if you could not do that again please
[15:42] <elFidel> it should contain some history-specific entries already
[15:42] <dajhorn> Roasted_: You got a suggestion earlier that will work.  Add something like `mount -t cifs //myserver/$(whoami) ${HOME}/mystuff` to the local login skel.
[15:42] <jenia> elFidel: thanx
[15:43] <Roasted_> dajhorn, what, add that to fstab or create a script?
[15:43] <dajhorn> Roasted_: Don't change the fstab for this job.
[15:44] <Roasted_> dajhorn, all right. fstab came up in some google searches so I wasn't sure if that's what you were referring to or not.
[15:44] <Roasted_> dajhorn, would I just add that command to a bin/bash script?
[15:44] <dajhorn> Roasted_: Do you know about the bashrc and other login scripts?   Do you know about gnome session scripts?
[15:44] <Roasted_> dajhorn, do I know about their existence? yes. Have I ever written any? no.
[15:44] <TingTongTux> ikonia, i after 3 hours or so i ll be getting problem and wont be getting online or disconnecting.......Anyways, I Won't Do It
[15:45] <dajhorn> Roasted_: Try this:  Create a script that can be run by any user that looks like this:  gvfs-mount smb://MyServer/$(whoami)
[15:46] <dajhorn> Roasted_:   Add this script to the gnome session such that every Ubuntu user runs it when they login.
[15:46] <Roasted_> dajhorn, by any user you're talkin 755 +x perms right?
[15:47] <goltoof> hai room
[15:47] <ikonia> does ubuntu 10.04/10.10 still ship with a failsafe xorg.conf file for fall back ( I don't have a 10.04 or 10.10 box to test on )
[15:47] <dajhorn> dajhorn: Yes.  You can put it somewhere like /usr/local/bin or include it in the global /etc/profile.  Depends on your system.
[15:47] <dejan_> why i cant copy files to www root?
[15:47] <mah454> what is PID of shutdown process ?
[15:47] <ikonia> dejan_: you need to use sudo to copy them
[15:47] <Roasted_> dajhorn, I'm doing bin bash right?
[15:47] <ikonia> mah454: process ID of the shutdown process
[15:47] <dajhorn> Roasted_: Yes, you need the whack-bang.
[15:47] <dejan_> ikonia:  only way?
[15:48] <mah454> yes ...
[15:48] <ikonia> dejan_: change the permissions so the directory is not owned by root
[15:48] <dejan_> ikonia: i cant with file manager?
[15:48] <dajhorn> Roasted_:   #!/bin/bash as the first line in the script.
[15:48] <Roasted_> dajhorn, and just $ or is the (whoamI) relevant?
[15:48] <mrzlo> русские есть?
[15:48] <ikonia> dejan_: if you launch the file manager with gksudo you can
[15:48] <dejan_> can you help
[15:48] <dajhorn> Roasted_:   $() is relavant.  It means "substitute the value of this command".
[15:48] <dejan_> how to launch fm with gksudo
[15:48] <Roasted_> dajhorn, parathesis included?
[15:48] <goltoof> so, what happened over the weekend with 10.04?  I let it update and reboot friday.  Today I'm getting all kinds of permission errors. Nvidia drivers shot, vbox not starting, etc. Anyone else affected by latest updates?
[15:49] <ikonia> dejan_: type "gksudo nautlius"
[15:49] <dajhorn> Roasted_:  Yes.  Try it at the command prompt.
[15:49] <dejan_> ikonia: thanks
[15:49] <dejan_> nautilus?
[15:49] <Roasted_> dajhorn, firing up my ubuntu test box on the domain now
[15:49] <dajhorn> Roasted_:  Remember that your Ubuntu usernames need to match your Windows user names.  If not, then you have a bunch more work.
[15:49] <dejan_> ikonia:  nautilus or nautlius?
[15:49] <Abhijit> hi guys
[15:49] <Roasted_> dajhorn, and its failing to authenticate. oh boy... what did I do on friday....
[15:50] <ikonia> dejan_: nautilus
[15:50] <Roasted_> dajhorn, this box is on the domain.
[15:50] <peep`> "nautilus"
[15:50] <Roasted_> dajhorn, it uses windows domain logins. I added it to the domain with likewise-open 6.
[15:50] <Abhijit> there was a browser called empathy browser. but no in my lucid its not there. how to install it? why it's being removed from repository?
[15:50] <shadow88> hello
[15:50] <dejan_> ikonia: thaks
[15:50] <ikonia> Abhijit: I thought empathy was an IM client ?
[15:51] <Abhijit> ikonia, oh god my bad my bad yeah yeah sorry it was mistake!!! the browser i am referring to is epiphany!!!!
[15:51] <dejan_> ikonia: it returned some errors but fm opened is this normal?
[15:51] <ikonia> dejan_: that's fine
[15:51] <dejan_> ikonia: ok thanks
[15:51] <Abhijit> i always confuse in epiphany and empathy!!!
[15:52] <Roasted_> dajhorn, have you ever used ubuntu on a windows domain?
[15:52] <Infant> hello. how to make clock appear in 2 rows? ubuntu 10.10 (like in this pic: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=184806&d=1299009174)
[15:52] <toehio2> i have python2.5 currently installed on my system. How do install python2.6 system-wide (I'm running 8.1)
[15:52] <goltoof> quit
[15:52] <dajhorn> Roasted_: Yes, but through winbind.
[15:52] <Roasted_> dajhorn, have you ever heard of likewise?
[15:53] <dajhorn> Abhijit: The epiphany-browser is in the universe repo.  You probably need to enable at the Software Sources panel.
[15:53] <dajhorn> Roasted_: Yes.
[15:53] <Abhijit> dajhorn, yeah i got it. thanks!
[15:53] <dajhorn> Abhijit: Welcome.
[15:53] <Roasted_> dajhorn, any opinion of it by chance?
[15:54] <fruitwerks> can someone try to login to my ssh - trying to test fail2ban <IP_ADDRESS>
[15:54] <dajhorn> Roasted_: No, but Canonical support is currently recommending the likewise product.
[15:54] <Roasted_> dajhorn, well that's comforting.
[15:55] <dajhorn> Roasted_: Run the `getent` command.  This is a good place to begin troubleshooting domain integration.
[15:55] <Roasted_> dajhorn, I just forgot this box I did a fresh install on, so Im re-adding it quick
[15:55] <dajhorn> Roasted_:  `getent passwd` must return your domain account.
[15:56] <Arachon> Hullo people, for some reason I don't get most of these notification bubbles I usually do
[15:56] <Roasted_> dajhorn, so just to recap, you suggest the gvfs-mount smb://etc etc command in usr/local/bin with 755 +x permissions, then link that script to the gnome session login. right?
[15:57] <dajhorn> Roasted_: Yes, that is one way to get a good result.
[15:57] <Roasted_> dajhorn, just to make sure, am I using gvfs-mount or .gvfs-mount
[15:57] <dajhorn> Roasted_:  .gvfs is where the remote filesystem will actually be mounted.  `gvfs-mount` is the utility that puts the mount there.
[15:58] <Roasted_> dajhorn, sounds good
[15:58] <dajhorn> toehio2: Intrepid is out of support.  Upgrade if you have the choice.  Upgrading the python package will be difficult.
[15:59] <toehio2> dajhorn: yes, i'm finding that very true
[15:59] <Janhouse> can I install openssl 1.0.0 on ubuntu?
[15:59] <toehio2> dajhorn: is it possible to upgrade a server without having phsical access to it?
[16:00] <codemagician> oliver_, what was the rationale behind using    Option "UseEvents" "True"... could this fix my hanging problem?
[16:00] <fruitwerks> thanks <IP_ADDRESS> - works well
[16:00] <dajhorn> toehio2: Yes, but I would do manually at a command prompt.  You'll be stuck if you do it through update-manager and your session drops.
[16:01] <toehio2> dajhorn: I don't have a GUI anyway
[16:01] <Pudabudigada> Hello, I am trying to use a serial graphics tablet on 10.10, how can I do this?
[16:01] <toehio2> dajhorn: how safe is upgrading via the command line?
[16:01] <toehio2> dajhorn: what does it entail? how much can go wrong?
[16:02] <Arachon> Is it possible to restard the notification bubbles somehow?
[16:02] <dajhorn> toehio2:  It depends on how critical the computer is.
[16:02] <dajhorn> toehio2:  At a minimum,  do everything in a `screen` session and keep a second ssh session open.
[16:02] <picasse> key kaspersky      http://informatiq-help.blogspot.com/2011/03/kaspersky-lab.html
[16:03] <toehio2> dajhorn: OK, thank you. I will consider this option. I don't want it to go wrong and not have access to it!
[16:03] <dajhorn> toehio2: Run `screen` at the command prompt.  Update your /etc/apt/sources.list file.  Run `apt-get update` and `apt-get dist-upgrade`.
[16:04] <nroy1> hi! i installed imagemagick and a nautilus plugin to resize images but can't figure out how to access them
[16:04] <dajhorn> toehio2: Unless you know how to manually resolve package breakage, you should walk the Intrepid -> Jaunty -> Karmic -> Lucid series.
[16:04] <Roasted_> dajhorn, I ran that command, but now my terminal is stuck at $
[16:06] <dajhorn> Roasted_: `getent`?   Dunno how to troubleshoot it with Likewise.  You pretty much need a working NSS configuration to get sane domain membership.
[16:06] <dejan_> http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/zb/r/GsNJNwuI-UM.gif :-)
[16:06] <Roasted_> dajhorn, not sure what likewise has to do with it. I'm just using the gvfs-mount command in terminal manually.
[16:06] <ikonia> dejan_: why are you posting that here ?
[16:07] <dajhorn> Roasted_: gvfs-mount?   It won't necessarily print anything if it is successful. Check nautilus for the share.
[16:07] <jongbergs> hi, is allowing root ssh poses security risks? what do you recommend?
[16:07] <Roasted_> dajhorn, it didn't mount the way I wanted. I have \\server\users\me and it only gave me a link to "users". which is nice, but not optimal. So I wanted to go back to terminal to add a backslash in the command thinking if I had \\server\users\me\ it may trigger to link to MY account, but terminal is stuck at $ only. I cant CTRL Z or C it to exit.
[16:07] <dejan_> ikonia:  that is image fb uses when contet is loading is direct link to fb image
[16:07] <sipior> jongbergs: not allowing root ssh access :-)
[16:07] <ikonia> dejan_: we don't need to see that image
[16:07] <sipior> jongbergs: by default, the account is disabled anyway.
[16:07] <dajhorn> Roasted_:  \\server\users\me is not a valid SMB share name.
[16:07] <dejan_> ikonia: ok im sry :S
[16:07] <ikonia> dejan_: this is a support channel
[16:07] <dejan_> i know
[16:07] <Roasted_> dajhorn, how so
[16:07] <sipior> jongbergs: it doesn't hurt to turn off that option, of course (and the ubuntu folks really ought to by default)
[16:08] <dude> hello
[16:08] <dejan_> i know sry :S wont happen again
[16:08] <mneptok> jongbergs: why would root need ssh access? just use an account with sudo privs.
[16:08] <Pudabudigada> Can anyone help me get a graphics tablet working in 10.10?
[16:08] <dude> there is a new version?
[16:08] <dajhorn> Roasted_:  It just isn't.  It is typical for \\server\me\ to get mapped automatically on the server side.
[16:08] <dude> after organci ozelot, there will be a perverted pavian?
[16:08] <hdhzero> Is there a channel about ubuntu 11.04?
[16:08] <DJones> !11.04 | hdhzero
[16:09] <jongbergs> sipior, mneptok: my new job as sysadmin has the root direct access thru ssh
[16:09] <Roasted_> dajhorn, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I did what you said. my command was smb://server/users/me. was my typing of it just throwing you off or did I do something wrong?
[16:09] <mneptok> jongbergs: maybe that's why they fired your predecessor.
[16:10] <bluethundr> hello ubuntu! I have this strange file on my system I am having trouble dealing with, even when logged on as the root user!
[16:10] <bluethundr> http://pastie.org/1643674
[16:10] <bluethundr> can someone offer an opinion on this situation?
[16:10] <bluethundr> thx
[16:10] <ikonia> bluethundr: you shouldn't be logged in as the root user
[16:10] <dajhorn> Roasted_:  Basic SMB shares don't have path components.  You usually can't call /server/foo/bar/baz/bork without some magic.
[16:10] <jongbergs> sipior, mneptok : i don't think so..the boss is also aware of this
[16:10] <dajhorn> Roasted_:  The mount point is limited to /server/foo.   (Rather, SMB is not NFS.)
[16:10] <Roasted_> dajhorn, then you totally lost me. I was using the command you suggested...
[16:10] <bluethundr> ikonia, I just sudo'd to root to deal with this file momentarily
[16:10] <peep`> hey bluethundr, some time ago I saw a bug report about that file
[16:10] <ikonia> bluethundr: is this an NTFS drive ?
[16:11] <bluethundr> peep`, oh no kidding
[16:11] <jongbergs> mneptok: that's why i was thinking to disable root access and create admin account instead
[16:11] <bluethundr> nope, this is ext3
[16:11] <mneptok> jongbergs: tell me that at least sshd only answers to authorized keys.
[16:11] <peep`> the thing is you can't deal with it even as root
[16:11] <dajhorn> Roasted_: First,  just try /server/user and check whether the Windows host automatically remaps you.
[16:11] <ikonia> bluethundr: look at the permissions on /home/tim/.gvfs
[16:11] <ruan_> what is .gvfs anyway? i dont seem to have one
[16:11] <Pudabudigada> Can anyone help me get a graphics tablet working in 10.10?
[16:12] <peep`> the gvfs daemons use it
[16:12] <Roasted_> dajhorn, wow. this thing isnt letting me back on the domain now.
[16:12] <ruan_> ah ok
[16:12] <jongbergs> mneptok: i was also thinking about it..still using root thru password-less login?
[16:12] <jace> I need help with ubuntu
[16:12] <ruan_> jace: what is the question?
[16:12] <dajhorn> Roasted_: You're probably getting locked for hitting a non-existent share.
[16:12] <jace> my sony vaio touchpad does not work
[16:12] <Roasted_> dajhorn, locked? I didnt add the script yet.
[16:12] <jace> but my usb external does
[16:12] <Roasted_> dajhorn, I was manually running that command
[16:12] <mneptok> jongbergs: you need a password to unlock the key. and you need root's private key installed on any machines that will connect using the root accountr
[16:12] <mneptok> -r
[16:13] <dajhorn> Roasted_: But you just told me that you were trying //server/users/me.   'users/me' is not a valid export in regular SMB.
[16:13] <mneptok> jongbergs: but even so, enabling root access over ssh is a Very Bad Idea(tm)
[16:13] <Pudabudigada> Can someone help me with my floppy drive then.
[16:13] <daleharvey2> can I talk here here?
[16:13] <Roasted_> dajhorn, I'm not sure how it's not right. if I go to nautilus and type smb://server/users/me, I get to my folder just fine.
[16:13] <ruan_> daleharvey2: yes you can talk here here
[16:13] <Pudabudigada> I have some windows software for it on floppy disks.
[16:14] <dajhorn> Roasted_: That is because Nautilus is doing what you want, not what is legal under the hood.
[16:14] <daleharvey2> it wasnt a dumb question, my other irc client doesnt work :p
[16:14] <jace> There is so much going on in this room, could a ubuntu user pm me for ubuntu touchpads?
[16:14] <Roasted_> dajhorn, let's rewind, because I'm not sure what I did wrong as I followed your suggested command. What should I do? What command should I use for manually testing gvfs?
[16:14] <daleharvey2> ok, I cant seem to be able to uninstall java 1.6, every time I do it attempts to install other java packages
[16:14] <daleharvey2> http://pastebin.me/d66a6d92426552f737a8d2d2b4149b65
[16:14] <bluethundr> hey guys I seem to have access to the directory (it's actually not just a regular file) but I still can't get any info on it
[16:14] <bluethundr> http://pastie.org/1643697
[16:14] <bluethundr> that is my user account has access but the root user doesn't
[16:14] <Pudabudigada> Can someone help me with my floppy drive? It is not detecting disks.
[16:14] <jongbergs> mneptok: ok. just what I have read around the web..it poses security risks..i'll try to consult this with my boss to be clear to him..thanks for your advice
[16:15] <elFidel> jace: the irc logic is - ask in channel - provide asmuch infoaspossible - andhopesomeoneisable & willing to help;)
[16:15] <loculinux> hola
[16:15] <dajhorn> Roasted_: You need to read an SMB tutorial.  I'm going for coffee.  (Sorry.)
[16:15] <Roasted_> dajhorn, also, I rebooted and the terminal is still stuck in $ mode......
[16:15] <dejan_> ikonia: or anyone have any idea why I can't connect to my wireless router when I set WPA? with Wep and without any security I can coect but only ith WPA I can't why? :(
[16:15] <elFidel> *sry - broken space key ;)
[16:15] <daleharvey2> its pretty confusing for apt-get remove to install 2 packages and remove none
[16:15] <Roasted_> dajhorn, thanks anyway
[16:15] <jace> ok I need help enabling my sony vaio laptop touchpad in ubuntu.
[16:15] <loculinux> busco gay
[16:15] <Roasted_> Users of Ubuntu. My terminal prompt is stuck at $ now that I ran a gvfs-mount command. I've rebooted several times. How can I get it back to normal?
[16:16] <loculinux> algon gay
[16:16] <ruan_> spanish..?
[16:16] <loculinux> si
[16:16] <jpds> !es | loculinux
[16:16] <jpds> loculinux: Y IRC, no es el lugar para eso.
[16:18] <joeb_> how can i get ubuntu to find dependacies
[16:18] <Roasted_> how can I get my terminal back
[16:18] <elFidel> joeb_: apt should do it byitself
[16:18] <Roasted_> its stuck at $ but itll accept regular commands like LS, etc
[16:19] <Abhijit> joe75, apt-get build dependencies
[16:19] <joeb_> elFidel- dpkg -i didn't help elFidel  its asking for dependancies
[16:19] <loculinux> hola
[16:19] <ikonia> joeb_: if you use apt-get or the package manager it matches and installs dependencies for you
[16:19] <mark_> Hello folks, I've seen various articles that suggest it is currently impossible to have nautilus start with an extra pane by default in lucid.  Is this still correct?  Thanks.
[16:20] <joeb_> ikonia- i didn't im looking for dependacies
[16:20] <ikonia> joeb_: what command did you use to install and what package
[16:20] <joeb_> can apt-get or dpkg find dependacies in packages
[16:20] <ikonia> joeb_: what did I just say "apt-get or the package manager (synaptic/aptitude/etc) will match and install dependencies for you
[16:20] <ruan> joeb_: apt-get build dependencies      [as Abhijit said]
[16:21] <ikonia> joeb_: what are you trying to install
[16:21] <joeb_> mediainfo
[16:21] <ikonia> joeb_: how are you trying to install it
[16:21] <joeb_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/577041/
[16:22] <ikonia> joeb_: that's not using apt or the package manager
[16:22] <ikonia> joeb_: don't download debs and install them that way
[16:22] <Roasted_> guys. terminal. stuck at $. I need this changed.... how did this get stuck?
[16:22] <dajhorn> Roasted_: I'm back.  smb://server/users/me works through Nautilus because it is doing three distinct things automatically:  1. Connecting to 'server'.  2.  Mounting the 'users' share.  3.  cd'ing into the 'me' directory.
[16:22] <natrixnatrix89> Can anyone please suggest me how to make a backup of the data on my pc, and copy that backup to a usb hdd?
[16:22] <mark_> Hello folks, I've seen various articles that suggest it is currently impossible to have nautilus start with an extra pane by default in lucid.  Is this still correct?  Thanks.
[16:22] <ikonia> Roasted_: need what changed
[16:22] <joeb_> ikonia- i looked in a lot of places
[16:22] <Abhijit> !backup | natrixnatrix89
[16:22] <elFidel> natrixnatrix89: that question isway to general from my point of view
[16:22] <Roasted_> ikonia, I ran a gvfs-mount command in terminal, and now it changed my prompt to a simple $
[16:23] <alteregoa> i got a ubuntu problem with my HAARP antenna
[16:23] <ikonia> !info mediainfo
[16:23] <Pulse> does exist, and vanquish evil from the playstation store
[16:23] <ruan> !info libmediainfo0
[16:23] <ikonia> Roasted_: ok, why is the prompt being $ a problem
[16:23] <joeb_> ikonia- or anyone else .. this is where i  got it http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en/Download/Ubuntu
[16:23] <Pulse> ok well i do sbnc adduser failed
[16:23] <Pulse> chuck norris knows where that dude's ?
[16:23] <ikonia> joeb_: http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en/Download/Ubuntu
[16:23] <Pulse> http : //www
[16:24] <ikonia> joeb_: it says use the PPA
[16:24] <Roasted_> ikonia, because this may be a production machine, and I do not want $ as the prompt.
[16:24] <Pulse> u use certain words in irc
[16:24] <ikonia> Roasted_: the prompt being $ is not an issue, it doesn't change anything
[16:24] <natrixnatrix89> elFidel: My problem is generally the fact that i have to copy 170gb. and when it reaches sth like 30 gb the copy speed drops down dramatically.
[16:24] <__hacker__>
[16:24] <Pulse> att speed is wat we say
[16:24] <milind> .msg nickserv  identify milind signature
[16:24] <Roasted_> ikonia, I would like my prompt changed to default. Do you know how? If not I will ask somebody else.
[16:24] <alteregoa> i got a problem, the universe is expanding but i can't find a parking spot
[16:24] <Abhijit> hmmm
[16:24] <Pulse> whatever else i'll beat it into you
[16:24] <joeb_> thats what i get for reading thanks ikonia
[16:24] <Pulse> thats btr
[16:24] <ikonia> Roasted_: use the PS1 varible to change the prompt to whatever you want
[16:24] <Abhijit> milind, you have revealed your password. change it  right now.
[16:24] <Pulse> then me of, doesnt change
[16:25] <ikonia> Roasted_: however, again it makes no difference to the machines use
[16:25] <Roasted_> ikonia, PS1?
[16:25] <ruan> alteregoa: suggest that the universe creates extra parking spots?
[16:25] <IdleOne> Pulse: Please troll elsewhere
[16:25] <Abhijit> milamber, its not . its /
[16:25] <Pulse> its not
[16:25] <peep`> like PS1='$'
[16:25] <Pulse> please i dont need a over load of bots lol or keep one in here
[16:25] <Pulse> i like kiddie porn kiya any complaining about bnc's fault
[16:25] <jenia> what's the command to find out which package some file was installed from?
[16:25] <dejan_> anyone have any idea why I can't connect to my wireless router when I set WPA? with Wep and without any security I can coect but only ith WPA I can't why? :(
[16:26] <ikonia> Roasted_: yes, the PS1 environment variable
[16:26] <Pulse> yes
[16:26] <Abhijit> milind, , its not . its /
[16:26] <Pulse> its
[16:26] <mark_> Hello folks, I've seen various articles that suggest it is currently impossible to have nautilus start with an extra pane by default in lucid.  Is this still correct?  Thanks.
[16:26] <Roasted_> ikonia, I apologize, I have no idea what that means.
[16:26] <milind> Abhijit, thanks bro...was a typo
[16:26] <ikonia> Roasted_: it's just an environment variable, like PATH for example
[16:26] <Abhijit> milind, never agin do that thing in any channel .user server tab for that.
[16:26] <milind> Abhijit, point noted
[16:26] <peep`> Roasted_, the PS1 stands for the little few words that appear at your promt every time
[16:26] <Abhijit> good
[16:27] <Roasted_> ikonia, I see. not sure if I'm following... how do I flip it back?
[16:27] <peep`> try "cd -", then "source .bashrc"
[16:27] <ikonia> Roasted_: you set the PS1 variable to what ever you want the prompt to be
[16:27] <alteregoa> sensors
[16:27] <peep`> (unless you have modified it in your .bashrc)
[16:27] <ikonia> Roasted_: I'm not sure why doing a mount command has changed it, also look at peep`'s suggestion, that is a simpler way
[16:27] <Roasted_> New Question - I have network manager set to "allow for all users." However, when I boot up it will NOT let me log in to a domain account. I have to log in as a local user, log out, THEN I can log in as a domain account. In short, unacceptable. How can I set it so it'll connect right away regardless of what user is trying to log in?
[16:28] <Roasted_> ikonia, okay. So I need to set the PS1 variable. How do I go about that?
[16:28] <ikonia> Roasted_: it's an environment variable, same as any other, peep`'s suggestion is easier though
[16:28] <Roasted_> ikonia, peep didn't have a suggestion. he just made a comment.
[16:28] <milind> i want to rsync a folder to a server and as soon as rsync complets i want to restart apache in that server...can i do all this in a single command?
[16:28] <antihero> How would I increase my ulimit -n for my "www-data" user
[16:28] <ikonia> Roasted_: you need to not use network manager as that won't make a connection until you login and activate it
[16:29] <ikonia> Roasted_: he made an excellent suggestion, re-read it
[16:29] <peep`> Roasted_: my suggestion was to "cd -" and then "source .bashrc"
[16:29] <Roasted_> ikonia, according to google, that is incorrect, as "allow for all users" supposedly allows that SSID to connect with network manager prior to logging in.
[16:29] <peep`> "cd -" means "go to my home directory", then "source .bashrc" means "reload my bash config"
[16:29] <Roasted_> ikonia, I think I may have just been impatient, as I was able to log in just now. Rebooting and I'll wait 30 seconds to see if it'll pick up the wifi
[16:29] <ikonia> Roasted_: it won't though
[16:29] <ikonia> peep`: its cd ~ or just "cd"
[16:29] <Pici> peep`: No, cd - means to go to the last directory you were in.
[16:29] <peep`> right!
[16:29] <ikonia> Roasted_: it will need to bond
[16:29] <Roasted_> ikonia, how do you know it wont. I think it just worked for me.
[16:29] <ikonia> Roasted_: it takes time
[16:30] <peep`> "cd -" is just "go to the previous dir"
[16:30] <ikonia> Roasted_: they keys have to be saved though,
[16:30] <Roasted_> ikonia, bingo.
[16:30] <peep`> sorry for that. ikonia you're right
[16:30] <Roasted_> ikonia, it worked just now.
[16:30] <ikonia> Roasted_: if you do it outside of network manager it will be a lot quicker
[16:30] <Abhijit> milind, have you tried commadn one && command two?
[16:30] <Roasted_> ikonia, outside of network manager? as in using what instead?
[16:30] <ikonia> Roasted_: using the interfaces file
[16:30] <blackshirt> :d
[16:31] <Roasted_> ikonia, for wireless?
[16:31] <jenia> what's the command to find out which package some file was installed from?
[16:31] <Roasted_> ikonia, that stores the passwords in plain text though, doesnt it.
[16:31] <Roasted_> peep`, when I ran source .bashrc I got not found.
[16:31] <milind> Abhijit,  so something like rsync   -e 'ssh -ax' -avz folder milind@remotehost:/home/milind  &&  sudo service apache restart ?
[16:31] <malko> hi
[16:31] <malko> everybody
[16:32] <ikonia> Roasted_: what directory are you in when you run it
[16:32] <peep`> Roasted_, you have to go to your home directory first, like this "cd ~"
[16:32] <peep`> when i said "cd -", i was wrong, as ikonia pointed out
[16:32] <Roasted_> ikonia, I have no idea, as I'm at the.... $ prompt....
[16:32] <Abhijit> milind, yes
[16:32] <milind> Abhijit, is the second command gonna run in the remote server or in my local machine..
[16:32] <peep`> your home directory should have the .bashrc file .
[16:32] <madwill> is there such a thing as a virtual soundcard for ubuntu ?
[16:32] <tom_23> Running Ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.35-27 64 bit) and I have between 5000 and 7000 context switches per second, there's X, music, some dev tools, etc. running - is that normal?!
[16:32] <milind> i want it to run it on the remote server
[16:32] <ikonia> Roasted_: type "pwd" to know what directory you are in
[16:32] <Roasted_> peep`, yes I see it.
[16:32] <Abhijit> milind, local by default. to make it remote you need to tell it so. which i dont know how
[16:32] <Roasted_> peep`, now what
[16:33] <madwill> like a driver that would emulate a soundcard and allow a machine to record sounds lets say using x11grab
[16:33] <milind> hmmmm thanks Abhijit i ll look into that
[16:33] <peep`> did you type the "source .bashrc"?
[16:33] <Abhijit> milind, welcome
[16:33] <peep`> try that and see what happens
[16:33] <peep`> if your prompt (the PS1) doesn't change, then i'm out of tricks.
[16:34] <Roasted_> peep`, type source as in the full path?
[16:34] <ikonia> Roasted_: what directory are you in ?
[16:34] <peep`> just "source .bashrc". "source" means "read all the commands in the file". And ".bashrc" is the file to be read
[16:35] <Roasted_> ikonia, my home directory. Mind you this is a domain account too
[16:35] <peep`> it only works if you are inside your home directory, because ".bashrc" is there.
[16:35] <ikonia> Roasted_: it should be in your home dir then
[16:35] <Roasted_> so my home dir maps to /home/local/DOMAIN/My_Account
[16:35] <Roasted_> source .bashrc does absolutely nothing, yet if I show hidden files/folders I see .bashrc in there.
[16:35] <peep`> you can find your home dir with "echo $HOME"
[16:36] <Roasted_> peep`, yep, thats what it returns with
[16:36] <mark_> Hello folks, I've seen various articles that suggest it is currently impossible to have nautilus start with an extra pane by default in lucid.  Is this still correct?  Thanks.
[16:36] <peep`> i see. Then sourcing your .bashrc doesn't fix your problem ... :|
[16:36] <Roasted_> well
[16:36] <Roasted_> I need to find a solution for this
[16:36] <peep`> is the nuisance permanent?
[16:37] <bluethundr> hey #ubuntu I think that permissions may be messed up on this box
[16:37] <bluethundr> http://pastie.org/1643766
[16:37] <Roasted_> as I will not deploy ubuntu into the field with issues like htis, even if its meaningless
[16:37] <Roasted_> peep`, yes, Ive rebooted about 7 times and each time its there.
[16:37] <bluethundr> even tho the ownership is right on these keys, only root can access them
[16:37] <ikonia> Roasted_: it's up to you what you do
[16:37] <ikonia> Roasted_: if you don't want to deploy it because the prompt isn't what you want and you don't know how to set the prompt to what you want, don't deploy it
[16:37] <jenia> what's the command to find out which package some file was installed from?
[16:37] <Roasted_> ikonia, that's not the point.
[16:37] <ikonia> jenia: apt-file ?
[16:37] <ikonia> Roasted_: it is
[16:37] <dajhorn> jenia: dpkg -S
[16:38] <Roasted_> ikonia, I want ubuntu to act predictably and sensibly if I'm going to manage it.
[16:38] <Roasted_> ikonia, retarded issues like this make me think twice unless I know a work around.
[16:38] <Roasted_> ikonia, SO, I'm going to find a work around. I'm sorry you have a problem with that, but you are not managing these systems.
[16:38] <Roasted_> thank you.
[16:38] <ikonia> Roasted_: if you are unable to set an environment varible, you should not be in a position to make deployment decisions or in a position where you admin a server
[16:38] <peep`> you can set PS1 to whatever you like manually, and once you find someting suitable, write your changes to the .bashrc file
[16:38] <ikonia> Roasted_: show me the output of "id" in your terminal
[16:38] <Roasted_> ikonia, well then explain to me what I am doing wrong? After all, I'm using your suggestions that are not working.
[16:38] <china2008> hhh
[16:38] <Roasted_> peep`, thanks. I'll look into that.
[16:39] <peep`> you are welcome
[16:39] <Roasted_> ikonia, appreciate it if you don't insult me, by the way.
[16:39] <ikonia> Roasted_: you've not set the PS1 environment variable, that is the problem, however it should be sourced from your home directory, however it's not so there is th bug
[16:39] <Roasted_> ikonia, I have a lot of experience in mass deployment of systems, as I have 2,000 to manage.
[16:39] <ikonia> Roasted_: I'm not insulting you, I'm stating fact
[16:39] <Roasted_> ikonia, thanks for understanding.
[16:39] <ikonia> Roasted_: yet you can't set an environment varible
[16:39] <AkumaStreak> Roasted_: Don't take it personally, he lives for it
[16:39] <Roasted_> ikonia, no, you did. and I'm letting you know.
[16:39] <Roasted_> ikonia, also keep in mind we dont run linux here.
[16:39] <ikonia> Roasted_: it's up to you how you take it
[16:39] <Roasted_> ikonia, we run windows, and we are trying to put linux into the mix.
[16:39] <AkumaStreak> ikonia: You'll be happy to know I have a very promsing job lead now from my IRC trolling!
[16:39] <Roasted_> ikonia, and this is my job, to figure it out and deploy it accordingly.
[16:40] <ikonia> Roasted_: ok, so show me the output of "id"
[16:40] <tom_23> My load is constantly > 1 on Ubuntu 10.10
[16:40] <Roasted_> ikonia, it's a long, long string.
[16:40] <ikonia> Roasted_: ok, paste it
[16:40] <ikonia> (if it's a load of lines, pastebin it)
[16:40] <mark_> Hello folks, I've seen various articles that suggest it is currently impossible to have nautilus start with an extra pane by default in lucid.  Is this still correct?  Thanks.
[16:40] <bluethundr> Roasted_, IRC is not the place for hurt feelings. ikonia is right
[16:41] <jenia> dajhorn: thanx, that's what I needed
[16:41] <Lint> How does LXDE initializez keyboard on start my is royally fucked!!
[16:41] <ikonia> Lint: control your language please
[16:41] <Roasted_> bluethundr, please understand that I am trying to figure out these issues for sake of deploying these systems. You are not in my position, and you are not in this conversation.
[16:41] <Roasted_> bluethundr, thank you for understanding.
[16:41] <joeb_> that mediainfo site didn't work
[16:41] <joeb_> all kind of errors
[16:42] <Lint> it uses capslock to swith languages, but stupid keyboard always stuck with uppercase
[16:42] <sipior> Roasted_: can you pastebin the contents of your .bashrc? (or repost the link if you have done already)
[16:42] <Jacruth> hi guys,  how could I copy the config of my gnome taskbar? I want to save some launchers from a computer to another one
[16:42] <Lint> I rather tired to run setxkbmap manually on each login!
[16:42] <dajhorn> jenia: Welcome.
[16:42] <ikonia> Roasted_: if you want help, you need to cut the attitude out a little
[16:42] <ethana3> hey all, i'm having trouble with a Dell 1815dn printer/scanner thingy; whenever one prints a document, it just turns out as a few bars of ink across the top
[16:44] <Ziber> I'm currently running ubuntu 9.04 server on one of my boxes. running apt-get dist-upgrade should find new packages/updates, right?
[16:44] <picasse_> cisco      http://informatiq-help.blogspot.com/2011/03/cisco-reseau-formation.html
[16:44] <Roasted_> ikonia, keep the smart comments at bay, and we'll have no issues. thank you.
[16:44] <bluethundr> does anyone have an opinion they can share on the ownership permissions on these files that I had asked about earlier?
[16:44] <bluethundr> http://pastie.org/1643766
[16:45] <IdleOne> Ziber: 9.04 support ended last october
[16:45] <IdleOne> Ziber: so. no you won't get any updates
[16:45] <erAbuelo> buenas tardes
[16:45] <Ziber> well, from within 9.04 can i upgrade to 10 somehow?
[16:45] <joeb_> so i have a question .. what is wrong with downloading .deb files .. can't apt find dependancies
[16:45] <IdleOne> !upgrade | Ziber
[16:45] <ikonia> Roasted_: tell you what, help yourself, I'm out
[16:45] <bluethundr> Roasted_, please try to remember that everyone here is a volunteer and under no obligation to help
[16:46] <Lint> joeb_, dpkg don't track dependencies
[16:46] <waxrose> Jacruth, Hello, try to see if there is a .gnome or .gnome2 file under your home "~/" directory. Those should hold the configs.
[16:46] <bluethundr> therefore copping a tude will not help your situation
[16:46] <ruan> joeb_: you might want to install the dependencies manually
[16:46] <joeb_> Lint- yes but can't apt find dependancies from repos and install them ?
[16:46] <bastidrazor> joeb_: you need to install the dependencies it requires. dpkg will not do it for you.. as you've been told several times. you fail at listening.
[16:46] <sss314> Can I install Ubuntu Desktop on 1GB USB disk? Why do they say you need 2GB if it can fit on a CD?
[16:46] <sipior> Roasted_: the issue was setting $PS1? can you pastebin the contents of your .bashrc?
[16:46] <Lint> joeb_, it should if you use apt and not dpkg
[16:46] <joeb_> bastidrazor-  you didn't hear me
[16:46] <joeb_> i know dpkg won't install them it tells me what dependancies i need
[16:47] <Gyndawyr> ok I'm making a new ubuntu partition
[16:47] <joeb_> can't apt-get find dependancies in repos / other files and let me install them ?
[16:47] <Gyndawyr> and it's asking me:"primary or logical?"
[16:47] <Lint> so what's the problem?
[16:47] <Ziber> I'm trying to do this from the command (upgrade, that is...) the "upgradenotes" seems to lack any information on upgrading from an out-of-date version
[16:47] <bastidrazor> joeb_: then use apt-get to install them.

[16:47] <dajhorn> sss314: The Ubuntu Live system will fit on a 1GB USB disk.  The regular Ubuntu system needs more than that.
[16:47] <waxrose> sss314, You can.
[16:47] <ruan> sss314: are you trying to install ubuntu _on_ a usb or _with_ a usb?
[16:47] <joeb_> ok bastidrazor  im coming from fedora we had a yum provides */<missing dependancy>

[16:48] <sss314> ruan, I am only using it as a Live CD, not to install
[16:48] <bastidrazor> joeb_: then read the manpage for apt-get.
[16:48] <ikonia> bullgard: is it gnome-sessions, or something like that, I'm not %100 sure ?
[16:48] <Ziber> !pkg upgrade-mananger-core

[16:49] <Gyndawyr> guys... I'd like to install ubuntu into a separate partition (next to xp) on my hard drive. I've gone on advanced cause last time it screwed up the NTFS partition...

[16:49] <ruan> !info upgrade-manager-core
[16:49] <Pudabudigada> That's my system config, btw.
[16:49] <IdleOne> Ziber: basically what you need to do is a clean install of 10.04 LTS or 10.10
[16:49] <Pudabudigada> *specs.
[16:49] <deca> is the ubuntu10.10 version better than 10.04 ?
[16:49] <Pici> !info update-manager-core | IdleOne ruan
[16:50] <Ziber> IdleOne: I'm trying to update from 9.04 to 10, i guess. But it says I need a package that doesnt exist?
[16:50] <IdleOne> Pici: thank you
[16:50] <sipior> deca: the number is bigger!
[16:50] <deca> !!! sipior
[16:50] <bullgard> ikonia: '~$ locate gnome-sessions' does not produce any output.
[16:50] <IdleOne> Ziber: the package you need is update-manager-core
[16:50] <dajhorn> Pudabudigada: You can do that with Virtual Box or VMware, but it is an advanced thing.  http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch09.html#rawdisk
[16:50] <ikonia> bullgard: gnome-session-manager, it's something like that, I just can't remember it
[16:50] <Gyndawyr> "Create a new partition: Type for the new partition: (a) Primary or (b) Logical." What does this mean?
[16:51] <Pici> deca: Ubuntu version number indicate the YEAR.MONTH of release.
[16:51] <deca> i use 10.04 and i have done all the updates ,,,, so i guess is ok but still dont know
[16:51] <Ziber> IdleOne: ah, ty :)
[16:51] <Lint> Gyndawyr, logical partitions exist within expanded (which is primary)
[16:51] <deca> i see ,,, thank you Piki
[16:51] <bullgard> ikonia: '~$ locate gnome-session-manager' does not produce any output either.
[16:51] <dajhorn> Gyndawyr: The first four partitions in a regular partition table are "primary".  If you have more than four partitions, then some of them must be "Logical".
[16:52] <mark_> I've seen various articles that suggest it is currently impossible to have nautilus start with an extra pane by default in lucid.  Is this still correct?  Thanks.
[16:52] <Pudabudigada> Anyone know about running win98 under Ubuntu?
[16:52] <Gyndawyr> there is currently only one partition on this drive, and there's also one partition on another drive.
[16:52] <Lint> Pudabudigada, virtualbox?
[16:52] <ruan> Pudabudigada: you could try it with vmware or virtualbox
[16:52] <alteregoa> dark energy
[16:52] <Gyndawyr> So, I should go with primary?
[16:52] <peep`> VirtualBox is good
[16:52] <ruan> Pudabudigada: depends what you want to do
[16:52] <heyguise> i swear to god, unity launcher.... iswear to god
[16:52] <Pudabudigada> What sort of specs will that require
[16:53] <Pudabudigada> ?
[16:53] <sss314> Can I use an mp3 as a LiveCD?
[16:53] <bastidrazor> mark_: pressing F3 after nautilus starts is too overwhelming?
[16:53] <bullgard> sss314: No

[16:53] <Lint> Pudabudigada, specs of your machine?

[16:53] <Lint> windows 98 can run fine with 32 mb ram
[16:53] <vegancheesesteak> hi all. I'm running 8.04LTS and did an apt-get update/upgrade.  apt pulled down some updates and (I Think) updated grub.  now i cannot boot. i tried to reinstall grub and cannot set it up on the drive. it gives /boot/grub/stage1 not found
[16:53] <IdleOne> Ziber: the thing is that you can't go from 9.04 directly to 10.10. you will need upgrade through each release and that will take you most of the day. Easier to do a clean install of 10.10.
[16:54] <Gyndawyr> there is currently only one partition on this drive, and there's also one partition on another drive. So I should use "Primary"?
[16:54] <mark_> There must be a simpler way to have it done automatically though.
[16:54] <Pudabudigada> Lint; So I should be ok?
[16:54] <Lint> Pudabudigada, yes
[16:54] <ruan> vegancheesesteak: you can try to reinstall grub through a livecd
[16:54] <Pudabudigada> Lint; Thanks, are vb or vm in the repo?
[16:54] <Lint> Pudabudigada, but you may need to tweak bios settings as windows98 dowsn't like modern processors
[16:55] <Pudabudigada> Mine ain't modern...
[16:55] <vegancheesesteak> ruan: i did...not i just get the grub prompt at boot.  I then tried root (hd0,0) and setup (hd0) and it still can not find stage1
[16:55] <Lint> Pudabudigada, use it from oracle site, version in repos is shit

[16:56] <Corleone> hey, i wanted to ask, what is the best wireless device that is recognised by ubuntu in a terminal??
[16:57] <j_ayen_green> ok... new question... what do i do when ubuntu fails to shutdown completely
[16:57] <cdavis> How do you get into the Grub menu in 10.10? Is it the shift key?
[16:57] <terry> Gyndawyr: It depends on what  you want to do in the end.  Are you trying to create a dual boot system?
[16:57] <j_ayen_green> that on topic?
[16:57] <MACscr> j_ayen_green: check your logs of course
[16:57] <j_ayen_green> MACscr: cant check the log when it's stuck shutting down
[16:57] <ruan> vegancheesesteak: well, it's an unsupported version of grub isn't it?
[16:57] <MACscr> lol, you can check them after its back up, duh
[16:58] <Gyndawyr> terry: yes I'm trying to dual-boot with windows XP
[16:58] <genii-around> Corleone: By wireless device, you mean networking, or bluetooth, or infrared?
[16:58] <Corleone> genii-around: networking.
[16:58] <j_ayen_green> the point is...any nice way to force the shutdown to finish rather than powering off?
[16:58] <terry> Gyndawyr: And you have 2 HDs?
[16:58] <vegancheesesteak> ruan: its from the rescue disc of the same version thats installed
[16:58] <sipior> j_ayen_green: at what point in the shutdown process does the machine get stuck?
[16:58] <Gyndawyr> I clicked on install alongside other operating systems, and the hard drive space has shrunk significantly for no apparent reason
[16:58] <j_ayen_green> sipior: asking all remaining processes to finish
[16:58] <Da|Mummy> i get this error when copying something from a nand to hdd, every other file i copied is ok except this one, whats going on?
[16:58] <Da|Mummy> Error splicing file: Input/output error
[16:58] <terry> Gyndawyr: If you have 2 HDs just dedicate the second drive to Linux.
[16:58] <Gyndawyr> terry: I'm installing ubuntu on a SATA drive alongside windows XP, but I also have windows 98 installed on an IDE drive
[16:59] <sipior> j_ayen_green: how long have you given it?
[16:59] <j_ayen_green> sipior: says OK after it, but stopped there
[16:59] <j_ayen_green> sipior: it's been about 10 min, but there's no disk activity
[16:59] <ruan> vegancheesesteak: is there a reason why you're still on 8.04?
[16:59] <Gyndawyr> I assume the IDE drive is irrelevant, and I'm wondering why a 500GB drive is appearing as 380GB
[16:59] <terry> Gyndawyr: Just set aside ever how much room you can reasonably afford and use it.
[17:00] <vegancheesesteak> ruan: its 8.04 lts server...its still supported. i would like to upgrade but have not had time to
[17:00] <Gyndawyr> neither question is answered, terry.
[17:00] <terry> Gyndawyr: Where is it appearing to be only 380GB?
[17:01] <Gyndawyr> when I click on install alongside other operating systems, it gives me 260GB for XP, and 120GB for ubuntu
[17:01] <dajhorn> Da|Mummy: Check the bottom of your /var/log/messages file for more information.  You probably have bad media.
[17:01] <sipior> j_ayen_green: were you issuing the shutdown at the console?
[17:01] <Lint> so how can I setup my keyborad in *normal* way?? capslock is madness but it broken to surplus
[17:01] <Gyndawyr> the XP partition should have about 360GB of space
[17:01] <Gyndawyr> so, somethings wrong :/

[17:01] <terry> Gyndawyr: Is there any free space?  (An un-partitioned portion of the drive)?
[17:02] <Gyndawyr> I think it's trying to install ubuntu using the already partitioned NTFS space
[17:02] <ruan> Gyndawyr: if you run sudo fdisk -l    from a terminal, does it show 500gb altogether?
[17:02] <Corleone> thanks genii-around :)
[17:02] <Gyndawyr> yes, there is about 120GB of unpartitioned space
[17:02] <Gyndawyr> but I believe it's trying to use the NTFS space instead -_-
[17:02] <ruan> hmm
[17:02] <zamba> i have two raid autodetect partitions.. but when doing mdadm --assemble --scan, only one of the partitions are recognized
[17:02] <terry> Gyndawyr: Well, it shouldn't.  It needs to create a swap partition and at least one other ext4 partition.
[17:02] <j_ayen_green> sipior: also, in addition to what?
[17:03] <terry> Gyndawyr: You will not be able to install on NTFS that's for sure.
[17:03] <Yerushalmi> Hey folks, I'm about to perform a format and reinstall. What do I need to do to bring my Firefox history and settings over to the new installation?

[17:03] <ethana3> I removed the printer from the printing list, but.. I can't put it back without its network address, which I have no idea how to find
[17:03] <Gyndawyr> Well, I'm not sure what to do about it. So, it's looking like I should go down the "advanced" route. Which brings me to the problem of "Primary" or "Logical", and also, should I save some space for a swap partition?
[17:03] <blag> how do i manually schedule a boot fsck?
[17:04] <Yerushalmi> ruan: How do I do that?

[17:07] <blag> bastidrazor: thanks, i didn't know ubottu was so bloody useful
[17:07] <ruan> Yerushalmi: i was able to copy a firefox profile from a windows reinstall however
[17:07] <Gyndawyr> So, it's looking like I should go down the "advanced" route. Which brings me to the problem of "Primary" or "Logical", and also, should I save some space for a swap partition?
[17:08] <bastidrazor> blag: you're welcome.

[17:08] <Lint> mamece2, piracy should not to be discussed here
[17:08] <Pudabudigada> Lint, That's not piracy,
[17:08] <j_ayen_green> sipior: first time i had this problem...what's new is I installed dropbox
[17:08] <terry> Gyndawyr: Yes, you need a small swap partition, maybe the size of your RAM.
[17:08] <Gyndawyr> I thought if I left 4GB of space, I guess that'd be enough
[17:09] <Gyndawyr> anyway... "primary or logical?"
[17:09] <Pudabudigada> Lint, Violation of the MS EULA, perhaps, but that's not much of an issue.
[17:09] <mamece2> lint how can you be sure its piracy?
[17:09] <Dr_Willis> Pudabudigada:  i thought i heard somewhere you could dd the iso file to a flash drive.. but ive never tried it.
[17:09] <sipior> j_ayen_green: could be related to a timeout unmounting the filesystem. what happens if you halt dropbox before issuing a shutdown?
[17:09] <terry> Gyndawyr: You can have only 4 primary partitions.  If you need more, you have to make one extended and then use logical 5 6 7 etc.
[17:09] <Lint> because authentic media is bootable?
[17:10] <karla> mamece2, first you can do away with the nick, as to your question idk how you plan on doing that
[17:10] <terry> Gyndawyr: Primary or logical doesn't really matter.
[17:10] <LjL> Lint: so if you have a netbook and can't install from the CD, asking how to make it installable from flash is offtopic due to piracy? i doubt that.
[17:10] <terry> Gyndawyr:  Logical if you need it.
[17:10] <j_ayen_green> sipior: i'll try that... right now i'm sitting with ubuntu almost shut down and vbox unable to do anything about it... so I guess my only option is to kill the VM process
[17:10] <mamece2> karla what with the nick? o_O am i being discriminated by my nickname?
[17:10] <Gyndawyr> ok
[17:11] <sipior> j_ayen_green: half a moment--you're running ubuntu in a VM?
[17:11] <Gyndawyr> does mount point make a difference?
[17:11] <j_ayen_green> sipior: yes
[17:11] <Dr_Willis> Gyndawyr:  you decide where you want filesystems mounted for teh most part.
[17:11] <j_ayen_green> sipior: running 10.04.1 in vbox
[17:11] <Gyndawyr> can I leave it blank?
[17:11] <terry> Gyndawyr: The limitation is that there can only be 4 primary partitions.  If you need more than 4 partitions, you have to make one of the primary ones an "extended" partition and then cut that up into as many logical ones as you want.
[17:11] <vegancheesesteak> brb
[17:11] <j_ayen_green> sipior: under vista
[17:12] <sipior> j_ayen_green: you might have mentioned that earlier...forget looking at the bios settings.
[17:12] <Dr_Willis> Gyndawyr:  a filesystem with no mount point wont be mounted.. so not very usefull.
[17:12] <Gyndawyr> I don't think I'll need more than 4, so I'm going with primary.
[17:12] <j_ayen_green> sipior: I did :)
[17:12] <terry> Gyndawyr: It really doen's matter.  You can make the second or third one extended and then take the rest of the drive up in logical partitions.
[17:12] <j_ayen_green> sipior: I started with : what do I do when vbox fails to pause the execution of the virtual machine?
