[17:46] <GeekyAdam> im looking for a way to show media player controls up on my menubar in ubuntu, anyone use anything like that?
[17:46] <GeekyAdam> currently using rhythmbox for audio, but willing to switch if need be
[17:46] <DasEi> genii-around: no neither grub or grub.cfg, I removed all nouveau related packages, I blacklisted the module, recompiled initrd by dpkg on nvidia-current thus this won't load cause of $§$%& nouveau module
[17:46] <eksay> ok
[17:47] <ryantbdm> GeekyAdam: Under your volume bar there should be music sontrols if your playing music
[17:47] <ryantbdm> Is there a good application anyone could suggest that gives a log of what has been put on a hard drive?
[17:47] <GeekyAdam> ryantbdm: im looking more for some buttons that sit on the menubar
[17:47] <GeekyAdam> so i dont need to right click then left click, just one click to switch songs, etc

[17:49] <greenlantern> what's the command to search a package with it's version number ?
[17:49] <GeekyAdam> brightspark: that's perfect thanks!
[17:49] <greenlantern> sudo aptitude search <package> ??
[17:50] <ryantbdm> weezelding: thanks I;ll check it out
[17:50] <weezelding> ryantbdm: np

[17:52] <leg3nd> DasEi, do you know the module name?
[17:52] <iamaham> Anyone know of a cli app that lets you download all images from a web page?  (not wget/curl) something image specific I dont need html, etc

[17:53] <groundup> sorry, unetbootin
[17:54] <jiltdil> how to open grub screen at the time of booting?
[17:54] <greenlantern> how can i know how many packages are available from ubuntu, (total packages)
[17:54] <jiltdil> i am using 10.10 ubuntu
[17:54] <terry> jiltdil: Esc
[17:54] <jiltdil> terry:not working
[17:54] <terry> jiltdil: e
[17:54] <terry> jiltdil: What exactly are you trying to do?
[17:54] <leg3nd> jiltdil, if your timeout is messed up you can change it in /etc/default/grub for grub2.
[17:55] <DasEi> leg3nd: is listed yes, same sayin is in use (rmmod)
[17:55] <terry> jiltdil: Is it going by to fast?
[17:55] <greenlantern> how can i know how many packages are available from ubuntu, (total packages)
[17:55] <DasEi> man rmmod, force option ?
[17:55] <fastfwd> Can anyone help me with an SSH-problem I'm having? I usually login with keyfiles and disable password login, so I specify PasswordAuthentication no and UsePAM no in sshd_config, then I login with ssh -i /path/to/keyfile $IP. When I do just ssh $IP, I get "Permission denied (publickey). I set it up like that for all my machines including my new homeserver which is running ubuntu 10.04 server, yes when I enter ssh $IP on any of the client machines, i
[17:55] <fastfwd> t logs me in without complaint, doesn't ask for a password an not for a keyfile either. Why is that and whay am I missing?
[17:55] <leg3nd> DasEi, that might be an option but iv never tried it
[17:55] <DasEi> leg3nd: watch if I disconnect, hehe
[17:55] <greenlantern> sudo aptitude search | wc -l
[17:55] <greenlantern>  ?
[17:56] <jiltdil> terry: no idea as hitting esc doesnot works it directs directly to my login screeb
[17:56] <leg3nd> DasEi, you might wanna give it a shot without X running, either in recovery or alt+ctrl+f6, /etc/init.d/gdm stop, then try.
[17:56] <leg3nd> DasEi, make sure you /etc/init.d/gdm start if you want to get X back.
[17:56] <DasEi> leg3nd: I wouldn't ask i Ihad not triedd that and a bunch more, even in init 1 that was not possible
[17:56] <greenlantern> how can i know how many packages are available from ubuntu, (total packages)
[17:56] <greenlantern> sudo aptitude search | wc -l  ??
[17:57] <jiltdil> leg3nd:should i to change here GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
[17:57] <leg3nd> DasEi, hmm.. if you type 'nvidia-' and tab 2 times does it have nvidia-uninstall?
[17:57] <greenlantern> how can i remove a package completely with configuration files and with the dependencies ?
[17:58] <hedkandi> hi folks, I'd like to posit that mplayer on 10.04 is BROKEN
[17:58] <leg3nd> jiltdil, you can give that a try, make sure you run update-grub before rebooting.
[17:58]  * nimrod10 a
[17:58] <weezelding> terry: http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/allpackages?format=txt.gz
[17:58] <leg3nd> jiltdil, worst case you just change it back, it shouldnt effect anything major.
[17:58] <ortsvorsteher> greenlantern, sudo apt-get remove <packagename> --purge
[17:58] <jiltdil> leg3nd:ok thanx
[17:58] <brightspark> hedkandi: really?  I've used mencoder without problems.
[17:58] <weezelding> woop, greenlantern i mean
[17:58] <terry> jiltdil: You probably just need to increase the  timeout
[17:59] <jiltdil> terry:ok thanx i am trying
[17:59] <DasEi> leg3nd: force : ressourcew unavailable, and no uninstaller, I try to find one now
[17:59] <hedkandi> brightspark, for dvds?
[17:59] <hedkandi> the guys on #mplayer tell me the rc3 version is too old to be used
[18:00] <JohnHeikkila> Something's wrong with my updating process. It's been waiting 5 minutes for some process to start
[18:00] <leg3nd> DasEi, whats the output of 'lsmod | grep vga16fb'
[18:00] <compaq17_> Can anyone help with an install problem?
[18:00] <brightspark> hedkandi: nope, I was stitching together jpegs to make a movie.  Never tried a dvd in mencoder, I always used totem or vlc
[18:00] <DasEi> ...installing nvidia-common...
[18:01] <greenlantern> ortsvorsteher: suppose you have deleted files, but the configuration files are there, then how can i remove configuration files and the dependencies?
[18:01] <maco> greenlantern: "sudo apt-get purge packagename" remove the package and its config
[18:01] <brightspark> !anyone | compaq17_
[18:01] <ortsvorsteher> greenlantern, this makes the purge option. you find also information about purge in the man page ;)
[18:01] <maco> greenlantern: apt-get remove packagename just removes the program files themselves
[18:01] <hedkandi> brightspark, ya, well my mplayer is ok with tv decoding, so clearly it's partially operating
[18:01] <compaq17_> my ubuntu installer keeps hanging an doesn't finish the install
[18:02] <compaq17_> how fix?
[18:02] <DasEi> leg3nd: no output from lsmod on vga16fb
[18:02] <greenlantern> maco: suppose package has been removed without purge , now you want to remove configuration files and the depency files, what would you do ?
[18:02] <weezelding> compaq17_: install windows
[18:02] <leg3nd> DasEi, hmm, okay try to run this
[18:02] <leg3nd> '  sudo apt-get --purge remove nvidia*  && echo "blacklist nouveau" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist && echo "blacklist vga16fb" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist   '
[18:02] <leg3nd> reboot and try
[18:02] <hedkandi> WHILST I'm here, could I just ask if anyone has noticed the annoying "new feature" on picture viewer
[18:03] <hedkandi> It prompts you to save pictures when you haven't changed them
[18:03] <maco> greenlantern: i think you can still use the purge command on it.  to remove packages that were installed as dependencies but no longer have anything depending on them "sudo apt-get autoremove"
[18:03] <hedkandi> and has a loony button for edit as well
[18:03] <brightspark> hedkandi: could be.  File a bug on launchpad if you really think you found one.
[18:03] <greenlantern> ortsvorsteher:  suppose package has been removed without purge , now you want to remove configuration files and the depency files, what would you do ?
[18:03] <DasEi> leg3nd: nvidia-common installed some modaliases, I mighthave to restart x, I tried your suggestion already
[18:03] <hedkandi> good example of programmers with too much time on their hands
[18:03] <ortsvorsteher> greenlantern, just read what maco writes to you, i think its the solution for you.
[18:03] <y05h1> hi all
[18:04] <greenlantern> what's the equivalent command of sudo apt-get autoremove ?
[18:04] <groundup> Everytime I search for "boot error" I get tons of errors that I don't get. I am trying to install Ubuntu Server over CentOS 5.5 using a USB drive. I used unetbootin to create the drive but all I get is "boot error". That's not a very helpful error.
[18:04] <leg3nd> DasEi, that purge should remove modaliases thats why it has a *
[18:04] <hedkandi> If it's not broken, don't fix it would be well remembered
[18:04] <hedkandi> and instead try to fix all the billions of things that are broken
[18:04] <maco> greenlantern: equivalent command?
[18:04] <hedkandi> like mplayer for example
[18:04] <DasEi> leg3nd: there is package called drm-nouveau or something, which, If I try to reboot suggests half of the system going down
[18:04] <hedkandi> in lucid
[18:04] <DasEi> leg3nd: as said, tried already
[18:04] <maco> greenlantern: itd be equivalent to running deborphan in the old days then removing the packages it told you werent needed anymore...
[18:05] <DasEi> *try to remove
[18:05] <leg3nd> DasEi, hmm   anything special show up with  'dpkg -l | grep nouveau'
[18:05] <max0r> ive got 3 starters in my panel, each of them starting rhythmbox with a different internet radio stream url. when i click one of them, rhythmbox starts the internet radio but comes to front. i want it to stay hidden. how can i accomplish that?
[18:05] <greenlantern> what's the equivalent command of sudo apt-get autoremove , with aptitude ?
[18:05] <maco> greenlantern: there isnt one
[18:05] <brightspark> hedkandi:  Try debian.  Ubuntu is a little more to the feature-rich side of the spectrum, while debian tends to the more stable.  No point using the wrong tool for the job.
[18:06] <maco> greenlantern: aptitude does it automatically *if and only if* all your prior installs/uninstalls have been done using aptitude
[18:06] <jrib> greenlantern: aptitude automatically does that
[18:06] <DasEi> leg3nd: yes, this libdrm-nouveau
[18:06] <hedkandi> brightspark, ya well I get the impression ubuntu is a loony scheme to compete with microso
[18:06] <leg3nd> DasEi, can you '  apt-get --purge remove *nouveau*  '
[18:06] <maco> greenlantern: aptitude has tracked dependency info for a long while, it just cant know whether something was installed as a dependency or on purpose unless it's the thing that did the installing
[18:06]  * andrej wamp: Sean Kingston - Replay
[18:07] <DasEi> leg3nd: apt suggest killing almost all system on removal, leaving me headless, and a ton of apps missing then
[18:07] <hedkandi> hedkandi, I seem to recall I tried debian, but it comes on 120 cds so I soon quit that idea
[18:07] <maco> andrej: could you turn that script off?
[18:07] <hedkandi> is there a repo for debian?
[18:07] <leg3nd> DasEi, its saying remove ubuntu-dekstop or what?
[18:07] <maco> hedkandi: yes, debian has repos
[18:07] <DasEi> leg3nd: amongst hundred's others
[18:07] <andrej> si
[18:07] <jiltdil> terry:leg3nd:thanx it works
[18:07] <leg3nd> DasEi, yea dont do that then lol
[18:08] <greenlantern> too much floodbot , too much nicks/scripts joining/quiting
[18:08] <DasEi> leg3nd: oh real ? hehe
[18:08] <greenlantern> bye
[18:08] <Magnusson_TB> would it be problematic for me to remove my old kernel?
[18:08] <leg3nd> DasEi, was this driver installed by default? or did you install it?
[18:08] <DasEi> leg3nd: default
[18:09] <leg3nd> DasEi, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-install-nvidia-drivers-manually-on-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx.html
[18:09] <brightspark> Magnusson_TB: not necessarily, but it's nice to keep an older one in case a problem exists in the most recent one.
[18:09] <hedkandi> maco: right, well maybe I'll give it a try next time I need to upgrade!
[18:09] <hedkandi> heehee
[18:09] <leg3nd> DasEi, I really dont see how that shouldnt work, if that doesnt work i would go to the nvidia site and grab your driver manually, try to throw it on top.
[18:09] <DasEi> leg3nd: nouveau is the gnu-developed version of nvidia, no full 3d support though, whereas current is the fully functional,closed source
[18:10] <DasEi> leg3nd: .. and that won't load because of these bad nouveau module
[18:10] <hedkandi> who is responsible for dvb drivers - anyone know?
[18:11] <DasEi> brb, restarting X after nvidia-common, oh wait what that line for grub , leg3nd ?
[18:11] <hedkandi> anyone here?
[18:11] <JohnHeikkila> I just set some regional settings on Kubuntu 9.10 and the "Updating system configuration" goes from 0 to 100% and then starts over. Can I just press cancel without any harm
[18:11] <hedkandi> because lucid comes with some new drivers I didn't know they could get
[18:11] <leg3nd> DasEi, line for grub?
[18:11] <DasEi> !ask | hedkandi
[18:11] <DasEi> leg3nd: that modeset to disable nouveau
[18:12] <JohnHeikkila> hedkandi: Canonical?
[18:12] <Guest92572> /clear
[18:12] <leg3nd> DasEi, sorry not sure what your talking about lol
[18:12] <Guest92572> is there a way to do email marketing with evolution or thunderbird ?
[18:12] <hedkandi> sorry about that. I shall try to keep it all on one line.
[18:12] <Magnusson_TB> brightspark> thanks :)
[18:13] <brightspark> Magnusson_TB: no problem
[18:13] <hedkandi> exit
[18:13] <DasEi> leg3nd: sorry, that wasn't you, see pm, well I'll brb then
[18:14] <gnugr> DasEi: before restart did you use " sudo service gdm start " again?
[18:14] <leg3nd> DasEi, try this  'apt-get --purge remove xserver-xorg-video-nouveau'
[18:14] <_awvtui> hello
[18:14] <paisano> any chance nouveau will exceed the driver capabilites of a propietary driver ?
[18:15] <DasEi> leg3nd: it's out already, and oc I won't restart gdm while talking, but now
[18:15] <Guest92572> Does anybody here know a way to do email marketing on ubuntu ?
[18:15] <leg3nd> DasEi,    =\
[18:16] <maxwave32> I am using NetworkManager in 10.10. I was getting "Connection terminated." in syslog/messages when using VPN via PPTP. It took me about 10 minutes to realize I had changed the password on another system. Is there any way to increase the debug level for this so that I can get something more detailed?
[18:17] <llutz_> Guest92572: you want to send spam/ube?
[18:17] <bonjoyee> could someone recommend some 'must have scripts' for irssi?

[18:19] <leg3nd> crashus_, ' sudo apt-get -y install conky  '  copy the .conkyrc theme you found into /home/username/
[18:19] <bonjoyee> tazz: check the name ..it could be mysqld
[18:19] <Malina> good idea crashus, I only did conky -d in a terminal -a middle_right or something
[18:20] <Malina> and it aint trans :P
[18:20] <leg3nd> crashus_, then alt+f2 and type 'conky',   good to go
[18:20] <tazz> bonjoyee, did you check out the link i pasted?
[18:20] <markfletcher> this is actually about installing ubuntu 10.04 LTS on intel hardware, MacBookPro3,1 if theres anyone whos done something similar feel free to pm me. Ive got it installed, but dbus wont start
[18:21] <gnugr> tazz: once you install mysql and finish setup, it will start auto with your system, no need to /etc/init.d/mysql start
[18:21] <bonjoyee> tazz: sorry..jumped the gun..
[18:21] <tazz> gnugr, again check my link http://paste.ubuntu.com/589792/
[18:22] <llutz_> Guest92572: look at libmail-bulkmail-perl
[18:22] <maxwave3> Is there any way to increase the debug level for VPN connections via NetworkManager so that I can get more detailed responses to failed connections? Lost 10 minutes today trying to decipher vague "Connection terminated" message only to remember I had changed password.
[18:22] <dragomir> hi all
[18:23] <markfletcher> nobody here had dbus issues after installing ubuntu on intel macs?
[18:23] <JohnHeikkila> markfletcher: Am i right that when you try running it, it boots into console or something?
[18:23] <gnugr> tazz: seems okay to me, now you can install phpmyadmin data-base from your synaptic
[18:24] <markfletcher> @John, yes thats correct
[18:24] <bonjoyee> tazz: try sudo service mysql status
[18:24] <JohnHeikkila> markfletcher: And gives an error message " DBus error org. freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply"
[18:25] <tazz> status: Unknown job: mysql
[18:25] <tazz> hold on i think i figured out the problem
[18:25] <bonjoyee> tazz: check in /etc/init for the correct name
[18:26] <gnugr> mysql -u root -p

[18:27] <Guest92572> llutz_, have you ever use this tool ?
[18:27] <markfletcher> @John, I believe so, unfortunately Im logged into os x right now, so cannot be 100% sure. I see dbus running in ps-ef, but sudo service restart dbus or service stop dbus I get the error 'Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
[18:28] <llutz_> Guest92572: nope
[18:28] <Guest92572> llutz_, ok I will read more
[18:29] <JohnHeikkila> markfletcher: Okay, well, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you for I have never owned a Mac <:)

[18:40] <ScottONanski> I'm trying to install Cheese 3.0 and am getting the following errors;  configure: error: Package requirements (  glib-2.0 >= 2.28.0   gobject-2.0 >= 2.28.0   gdk-pixbuf-2.0   gstreamer-0.10 >= 0.10.32   gstreamer-plugins-base-0.10 >= 0.10.32   cairo >= 1.10.0   pangocairo >= 1.28.0   clutter-1.0 >= 1.6.1   clutter-gst-1.0 >= 1.0.0   mx-1.0   gudev-1.0
[18:40] <ScottONanski> How do I find all that stuff?
[18:41] <trism> ScottONanski: sudo apt-get build-dep cheese; should get most of it
[18:41] <iceroot_> ScottONanski: cheese 3.0 is coming from where?
[18:41] <xangua> ScottONanski: sudo apt-get install cheese
[18:42] <ScottONanski> Cheese 3.0 is coming from the gnome website.
[18:42] <trism> ScottONanski: although, when building newer gnome software, you often need many new library versions not in the repos
[18:43] <phoenixsampras> how to support MSSQL with php??
[18:45] <toad__> how do I run a program in command line!?
[18:45] <toad__> lol
[18:45] <toad__> this may seem silyl
[18:46] <jrib> toad__: what program?
[18:46] <toad__> any program
[18:46] <toad__> Im just looking in /urs/bin
[18:46] <toad__> but how do I open or run things
[18:47] <toad__> or terminal programs
[18:47] <jrib> toad__: since /usr/bin is in your path, you just type the name of the command and press enter
[18:47] <jrib> !cli | toad__
[18:47] <toad__> so like /usr/bin/program name?
[18:47] <toad__> ive read all that and no where does it exain how to open a file
[18:48] <toad__> maybe I missed it
[18:48] <jrib> toad__: program name<enter>
[18:48] <toad__> so I type sudo programname <enter> if I need root privs to open it?
[18:48] <ScottONanski> Okay, I wanted to try to latest build for Cheese because I thought that would solve my problem - but I can't get the latest build installed because I can't find any information how how to install it properly - anyway, when I use the mic built into my webcam and try to recordd with cheese, the application video window goes black, and the application hangs. Anyone know how to fix this?
[18:48] <mr-satan> Has anyone had luck with a 100%, or damn near 100% deployment of Thunderbird as a replacement for Outlook in a business environment?
[18:49] <jrib> toad__: gksudo if it's gui, sure
[18:49] <mr-satan> The sync'ing of Tasks/Calendar has always been an issue, even with plug-ins in Thunderbird. :(
[18:49] <Polah> jrib: Do you need to use gksudo? Sudo gparted opens up gparted perfectly fine
[18:49] <ayecee> mr-satan: nope, most of us here have just switched to OWA instead.
[18:49] <xangua> !gksu | Polah
[18:49] <ayecee> mr-satan: that is, here where I am.
[18:50] <toad__> cool jrib
[18:50] <toad__> thanks
[18:50] <mr-satan> ayecee: Unfortunately OWA does not give you 100% functionality, like Task Management or even viewing other users Calendars.  I can't stand Outlook and would love to be able to do a pure migration of my users to Thunderbird/Linux.
[18:51] <DimaV> i just addicentally executed 'sudo chown -R dima /.' where dima is my username. is there a way to fix things without backing up and reinstalling? i can still log in
[18:51] <brightspark> thanks xangua
[18:51] <jrib> DimaV: it will be faster to reinstall
[18:51] <toad__> how do I switch an app to a different desktop?
[18:52] <DimaV> jrib: i got all the time in the world, what's the alternative
[18:52] <ibrahim> hi , i have a sound problem the sound has vanished
[18:52] <Polah> DimaV: How did you manage to accidentally do that? Back up your data and reinstall, else you'll have to set it all to root and then change back everything you owned before to your user
[18:52] <jrib> DimaV: revert everything, using a good installation as a reference
[18:52] <toad__> nm figured it out
[18:52] <DimaV> Polah: people 'accidentally the whole thing' all the time, it's sudo after all.
[18:52] <ScottONanski> Cheese crashes when I try to use my webcam's internal mic. Anyone know how to fix this?
[18:53] <DimaV> jrib: last good install is teh whole OS and dat, unfortunately.
[18:53] <DimaV> data*
[18:53] <jrib> DimaV: you can use a live cd for example.  Like I said, reinstalling is easier
[18:53] <Polah> DimaV: You accidentally typed the entire command and hit enter? i.e. you fell on your keyboard and that command then return was enter?
[18:54] <mr-satan> Does anyone have any solid recommendations for a solution for an Intranet front-end to a file server?
[18:54] <DimaV> Polah: no, i meant to type ./ instead of /.
[18:54] <Logan_> Polah: happens to me all the time ;)
[18:54] <DimaV> dot slash
[18:54] <jrib> DimaV: in the future just type . :)
[18:54] <mr-satan> Something that has a user-portal function, as well as doubles up as a front-end interface to a file server?
[18:54] <Polah> DimaV: What jrib siad
[18:54] <DimaV> jrib: well, we live in learn, don't we :p
[18:54] <mr-satan> Oh, and is *not* Sharepoint. :D
[18:55] <DimaV> Polah: so really no point in setting all to root? i have a few services running
[18:55] <DimaV> or there are too many system-made users that would need to be reset?
[18:55] <Polah> DimaV: The vast majority of files in your system will be owned as root to stop you breaking things all the time
[18:56] <Polah> DimaV: So should any unscrupulous people get access to your account, they can do anything they please
[18:56] <DimaV> Polah: if i repeat the same command and swap my user for root, would i be able to su and then change other manually?
[18:56] <sebastian> s
[18:56] <sebastian> witam
[18:57] <Polah> DimaV: Yes. Do the same but set the owner as root and then sudo chown all your own stuff back
[18:57] <Stava> I created a new account in evolution for a pop3 mail, and all mail are being stored in "On This Computer/Inbox" but I'd rather have them in "New POP account/Inbox" (like it is for my imap accounts), how can I achieve this?
[18:58] <sebastian> witam jak zainstalowac kadu w ubuntu 10.10 ?
[18:58] <Pici> !pl | sebastian
[18:58] <ibrahim> hi , i have a sound problem the sound has vanished
[18:58] <DimaV> Polah: i just wanted to make sure i can sudo after that
[18:58] <DimaV> Polah: so please confirm before i run off and screw myself further
[18:58] <Polah> DimaV: Yes you'll be able to. Just reinstall, it'd be easier
[18:59] <DimaV> Polah: well i have to back up 0.5tb of data first..
[18:59] <DimaV> alright, thanks anyway
[18:59] <DimaV> i guess i got a weekend project on my hands now
[19:00] <Polah> DimaV: This is why you don't store everything on one hard drive
[19:00] <Malina> sebastian, try #ubuntu.pl
[19:00] <Malina> not sure if it exists
[19:00] <Malina> but he is wondering hwo to install kadu? qadu i thnk? gadu gadu , a polish IM chat thingy
[19:00] <ibrahim> hi , i have a sound problem the sound has vanished
[19:00] <Malina> from the reps
[19:00] <Pici> Malina: see ubottu's response above.
[19:01] <Malina> I just noticed Pici  hehe :)(
[19:01] <Malina> :)*
[19:01] <Malina> !why
[19:03] <aditirex> anyone ? I have a problem with / , doesn't mount at start
[19:03] <Malina> Dimah... 500 GB is about 7 hrs
[19:04] <Malina> without the overhead of course of going through it, so you should be able to .. well ok.. wekeknd project.. fair enough :p
[19:04] <Polah> DimaV: If you have it on another partition you can just format your system partition
[19:04] <Malina> this is why I have my nice lil OEM partition.. ntfs with win 7 rec. env, at edn of a disk where I also put a backup image of my base system(s) and a few live cd.isos
[19:04] <kdub> never keep the root filesystem and your data on the same partition
[19:05] <Malina> and run it all from there.. and easily backup anything.. (grub is also on that ntfs partition so OS independent, just as the windows loader is)
[19:05] <Dr_Willis> You can set up grub2 to boot a cdrom.iso file from a ntfs partition :) which is handy for 'recovery/recue' operaitons
[19:05] <Polah> Ideally don't keep it on the same drive
[19:05] <Malina> added with what kdub  just said, keep data on sep. partitions from / partitions
[19:06] <Malina> takes me 7 mins to restore windows 7 should I wish, roughly the same with linux
[19:06] <Polah> Malina: Just copying back?
[19:06] <Malina> Dr_Willis, that is what I just said... :)
[19:06] <Malina> that is what I do on my comps
[19:06] <Dr_Willis> Malina:  i would be amazed at 7 min... on a new machine with windows normally it takes  an hr+ for the first boot/updates/pther cruft to get setup on the last 3 machiens ive bought
[19:07] <userdel> can anyone tell me why i am not able to setup a wireless network. if i do then it becomes hidden .
[19:07] <Dr_Willis> Malina:  if i 'restore' the machine to factory settings.. first boot.. again like an hr...
[19:07] <bstarek> userdel: explain please
[19:07] <Malina> Polah, no I have a ntfs partition, type OEM (0x027) at end of disk (at end the recovery is ~ 14 mins, not 7 but I prefer having the speedier front of the diusk for OS/swap), ther I have my custom winpe (recovery windows) with imagex on it, so I apply a windows wim which I have customised which also resides ont hentfs... there I also have a dd image of my base system, which I dd back when lionux is recovering, with a live cd iso which als
[19:07] <Malina> o is on that ntfs part :)
[19:08] <Malina> no installing take slonger.. I apply my wim which has all  my AV, programs and settings done
[19:08] <Malina> (still generalised though so I have to remake the user account and also activate again)
[19:08] <Malina> wow Dr_Willis : this is why I sell to friends custom recovery systems :)
[19:08] <Malina> since they are windows noobs :{P
[19:08] <bstarek> userdel: u mean ur access point is hidden??
[19:09] <Malina> I have windows recovetred WITH my settings n progs (not all of course but the base ones which are massive like atupocad NO :P) etc.. in 15 mins IM back in
[19:09] <userdel> bstarek : i mean the problem is i can create a wireless network ith WPA personal protocol but none of the windows machine can connect to network
[19:09] <Malina> 3 mins it takes to reboot and update registry and services on a gen image, but can make it even* faster, if I wish but this is good enough for me. If pppl pay me for *faster solutions* I can do faster too
[19:10] <bstarek> userdel: the protocol is the same for all the machines...r u sure u configured it the right way?
[19:10] <Malina> ironically, linux is the answer to making life easier in the windows recovery environment, that windows itself.. god M$ suck :p
[19:10] <bstarek> userdel: what dont u configure it from windows....
[19:10]  * sin8h hello
[19:11] <Eyce> hello i need some help on re-rooting some extra space for this very small partition i had to make for this ubuntu class.
[19:11] <kanneblei> Hello, I'm packaging some stuff using debhelper, and I have a debian/conffiles file. That file contains a single line pointing to a config file of mine which, in the package tree, is under /etc/foo/bar/baz.conf. But I'm getting error messages on it. Any help would be appreciated
[19:11] <Dr_Willis> Eyce:  're-rooting' ? huh? clarify what you want to do exactly
[19:11] <Malina> Dr_Willis, yes, I agree and not only that, but the 'factory restore' options are crap... I actually do some of these things for job, as in enhance our oem product
[19:11] <ibrahim> hi , i have a sound problem the sound has vanished
[19:12] <Pici> kanneblei: #ubuntu-packaging would be a better place to ask, not as busy as here though.
[19:12] <Dr_Willis> !sound
[19:12] <userdel> bstarek : configure from windows meaning?
[19:12] <Eyce> i know i used the wrong wording...i mean ubuntu is telling me i have 1 gig of space
[19:12] <kanneblei> Pici, thank you!
[19:13] <Malina> 7 mins ok that is when A. oem is at front of disk , B. does not include 3 mins of further setup so say with windows silly reboto during update of registry ~ 11-12 mins for a factory restore (where factory is your pre-defined programs and settings already built in however :))
[19:13] <Eyce> I clicked examine and its still working..
[19:13] <BajK> is there a *simple* way of mounting iso images? I am not talking about console mount command
[19:13] <Malina> Bajk: look for gmount
[19:13] <bstarek> userdel: set up your wireless from windows and then connect from ubuntu if you want...
[19:13] <BajK> and for kde? :)
[19:13] <Dr_Willis> BajK:  Theres gui front ends.  or make a script perhaps.
[19:13] <userdel> bstarek : why not from ubuntu?
[19:14] <Dr_Willis> BajK:  some archive managers can handle them also.
[19:14] <userdel> bstarek : is there a driver problem?
[19:14] <Malina> for example, else you need to script a few files /change/add some entries to make things mountable (eg. UDF) etc.
[19:14] <BajK> yes, ark can but I cannot just mount them like a regular drive using the context menu for example
[19:14] <bstarek> userdel: i dont think the driver should be a problem at all
[19:14] <Dr_Willis> BajK:   gmount i think can. but i dont use kde. so no idea on kde.
[19:14] <Malina> BajK, yesh, you can but would need to write an automount script and add it to your file manager
[19:14] <giant420> Did anyone else have problems with the Chromium update from the daily PPA today?
[19:14] <Malina> else gmount is somewhat nifty but still is nt a 'right click-mount'
[19:15] <BajK> giant420: yes
[19:15] <BajK> giant420: does nmot start due to "memory fault "or something
[19:15] <userdel> bstarek : then what else?
[19:15] <leg3nd> so dont upgrade?
[19:15] <Malina> erm, actually you could maybe add gmount as the default application however for opening an .iso :p
[19:15] <BajK> screws up my whole day -.- but FF4 is kind of quick
[19:15] <Dr_Willis> I recall seeing a 'right click, mount iso' item in my menus once.. not sure where it came from
[19:15] <giant420> BajK: yup, thats it
[19:15] <giant420> yup, this is the first time I have actually tried FF4 since beta
[19:15] <BajK> giant420: do you also experience frequent flash crashes since friday or somethng?
[19:16] <Malina> just means daily breaks something..
[19:16] <bstarek> userdel: explain again please what u r exactly trying to do and what u have actually done
[19:16] <BajK> giant420: whenever I visit a page that contains flash bam "the following plug in crashed" everytime..
[19:16] <nkh> Hello, what is top 4 or 5 OpenSource DBMS you know? just Name them please if you can, I need them for my homework. Thank you.:)
[19:16] <Malina> giant420, I myself reocmpiled FF to use on ubu , huge gain just there :)
[19:16] <giant420> BajK: not at all. Everything was running great until I updated
[19:16] <BajK> mh weird
[19:16] <giant420> and FF4 works fine, except for that damn audio bug on natty
[19:16] <BajK> on my machine all flash in chromium is nt working
[19:16] <Dr_Willis> nkh:  DBMS's ?
[19:16] <BajK> on my notebook (also daily builds) everything works
[19:16] <stewi1> hello all, i would like to install sudo on my ubuntu via terminal, can anyone help me please?
[19:16] <Eyce> whats the best way to extend drives
[19:16] <Malina> nkh: READ SOME GODDAMN HOMEWORK YOURSELF... its just a thing called GOOGLE you know... JESUS
[19:17] <nkh> Dr_Willis: Yes. DataBase Managment Systems
[19:17] <Malina> db managment systems
[19:17] <Dr_Willis> Eyce:  You can set up a new hard drive and mount it. or link it onto / where you want. if thts what you m,ean by extend
[19:17] <nkh> Malina: Yes I know , but Just Lok at this ! http://www.comptalks.com/top-five-open-source-dbms/
[19:17] <userdel> bstarek : i want to setup a wireless network which is accessible as ad hoc to nearby computers running windows with WPA authentication. the problem is i have created it but not able to connect to it myself.
[19:17]  * Dr_Willis imagines theres whole books (if not dozens of them) on Data base management.
[19:17] <Malina> here, you lazy c*nt: ,,!,,.com, businessDB-r-us.com, im-a-tard.co.uk, open-4-money.com, and ifnally -homework-4-kids.biz
[19:17] <giant420> BajK: So should I just wait for the next update, or attempt to build and install the latest dev build? haha
[19:18] <Malina> :)
[19:18] <ZORA> hi all
[19:18] <ZORA> :D
[19:18] <stewi1> Malina: i came here for the first time and u give a bad name to the chan
[19:18] <Malina> ok sorry stewi1 morale of the story, dpont come here for homework?
[19:18] <stewi1> Malina: i don't see why you should use that language in here
[19:18] <Eyce> oh, i am sorry. what i mean is i need to add more space to this ubuntu partition so the low disk space warning prompt will go away
[19:18] <Malina> anyway, this is my penultimate time before the 2nd time on this channel too!
[19:18] <stewi1> Malina: there is other words to use, this network ir respected
[19:18] <Malina> ok sorry stewil
[19:19] <nkh> Malina: look at that link... really MySQL and Oracle are OpenSource?! it's about 2 houres i'm searching and just finding things like this !
[19:19] <Malina> true.. my apologies
[19:19] <bstarek> userdel: does it connect from ubuntu?
[19:19] <Malina> mysql is opn sourced yes
[19:19] <Malina> Oracle has soem code as open source, other things not
[19:19] <Pici> !ot | nkh
[19:19] <Malina> well, that is the point of homework nkh.. not that you have to list some |abs| values of "top 5" DBMS
[19:19] <userdel> bstarek: no
[19:20] <Malina> but that you by reading, realise the variuos issues and topics and nuances
[19:20] <Malina> various*
[19:20] <bstarek> userdel: re-set up it from windows and see
[19:20] <Malina> yes stewi1 , I apologise,
[19:20] <nkh> Pici: Malina: ok Thanks Frineds, Sorry . GoodLuck :)
[19:20] <Malina> you too nkh
[19:20] <userdel> bstarek: it works on win but i need solution on ubuntu
[19:21] <Malina> but hint: learn to peruse, quickly skim thoruhg stuff you find ;)
[19:21] <Eyce> i am doing hw as well i been reading a lot with google. i prefer to collaborate with great minds us alike.
[19:21] <stewi1> would like to install sudo on this ubuntu box so i can update few things, anyone knows how do i download this sudo, i am googling but nothing
[19:21] <Malina> to get the essence, then blag a an answer and hope it hits the eseence of the problem ;)
[19:22] <Eyce> stew1: download what sudo?
[19:22] <bstarek> userdel: i really dont see why its not connecting since the same protocol should be used. i am sorry mate i could have prob better helped if i could physically see the prob
[19:22] <Pici> stewi1: If you are running Ubuntu then you should already have sudo installed.
[19:22] <bstarek> userdel: maybe somebody else can help you here
[19:22] <stewi1> Eyce: i want to use sudo apt-get things
[19:23] <Pici> stewi1: So whats the issue then?
[19:23] <Eyce> yes, su apt-get install tab tab to list or .synaptec
[19:23] <stewi1> Pici: bash: apt-get: command not found
[19:23] <suigeneris> hi
[19:23] <Eyce> sudo if you are not root
[19:23] <Pici> stewi1: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[19:24] <userdel> bstarek: the problem is it's hidden network. when i click on hidden it shows up but keeps on connecting for a long time.  i have a wireless
[19:24] <stewi1> pici: can you tell me how i find that out please
[19:24] <Pici> stewi1: lsb_release -a
[19:24] <Eyce> lshw
[19:24] <Eyce> or that
[19:24] <Lanta|N900> hey if i wanted to install ubuntu but select nothing on tasksel (i.e. base minimal system, not even "standard system utilities") then can i do that from a normal ubuntu disc or do i need the server disc?
[19:24] <stewi1> bash: lsb_release: command not found
[19:24] <Eyce> uname -a
[19:25] <Pici> stewi1: cat /etc/issue
[19:25] <kubanc> is there any GUI nmap application for gnome?

[19:25] <userdel> bstarek: mobile  broadband as well
[19:25] <Eyce> Pici: what does that do ? iam here trying to learn as well
[19:25] <bstarek> userdel: u made sure the password is coorrect sand everything?
[19:25] <Pici> stewi1: Thats CentOS, not Ubuntu.
[19:25] <stewi1> ok i aplogise
[19:25] <Eyce> oh
[19:25] <Pici> stewi1: Ask in #centos
[19:26] <Pici> kubanc: zenmap is one of them.
[19:26] <userdel> bstarek: yes. it's created and saved
[19:26] <stewi1> ok guys sorry to bother you, thanks anyway
[19:26] <Pici> Eyce: lsb_release -a and /etc/issue both should contain the information about which Ubuntu version is installed.
[19:26] <bstarek> userdel: i really dont know what the problem is my friend
[19:26] <Eyce> ok, nice. good stuff
[19:28] <swatto> Hello all, please could you tell me what a good Email client is that runs in the terminal?
[19:28] <Eyce> Pici: i have a low limit disk space on this partition. i have a 1 TB external drive so space is not the problem as well as a 320 GB which is partitioned to a bunch of os's for my courses.
[19:29] <toyman61> Ubuntu 10.04 with Windows XP host on VirtualBox: How can I define an usb-printer on Ubuntu host as network printer in XP ?
[19:30] <Pici> Eyce: I'm not sure what you're asking me.
[19:30] <toyman61> eeehh.... I mean Windows XP Guest - of course...
[19:30] <Eyce> how can i extend more space to this little partition?
[19:31] <regina> toyman61: install samba on ubuntu...
[19:31] <Pici> Eyce: Boot off of a live CD and use gparted to extend your partition.
[19:31] <leg3nd> Eyce, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GParted
[19:32] <toyman61> regina: Do I have to use Samba ?
[19:32] <Eyce> oh ok my bad thanks guys.
[19:32] <toyman61> regina: The printer is connected to my Ubuntu host via usb. XP is the guest operating system..
[19:32] <regina> toyman61: if you want to share via the network then yes..
[19:33] <Tuplad> Is it possible to install Windows without quitting Ubuntu ? (without VM)
[19:33] <erUSUL> Tuplad: no
[19:33] <regina> !dualboot | Tuplad
[19:33] <toyman61> regina: Ok. I'll try to setup and configure samba...
[19:33] <Tuplad> Dual boot, exactly. But for some reason, my pc won't accept any Windows 7 cd.
[19:34] <Tuplad> so I was wondering can I somehow install it ?
[19:34] <Tuplad> it accepts the cd, I can browse through it, but I can't install... it just freezes when the "windows is loading setup files" screen appears
[19:34] <erUSUL> Tuplad: ask in ##windows ?
[19:34] <Tuplad> erUSUL: I'm using Ubuntu.
[19:34] <regina> Tuplad: try booting from the cd..
[19:34] <Tuplad> regina: I am booting from cd.
[19:35] <erUSUL> Tuplad: but you want to install windows and the problem is with the windows install cd
[19:35] <Tuplad> erUSUL: I think it's hardware related, not sure actually. the CD works everywhere.
[19:35] <Tuplad> regina: that's the frustrating part, whenever I boot from cd, it freezes. works fine at other computers.
[19:36] <Pici> Tuplad: That wouldn't have anything to do with Ubuntu
[19:36] <bstarek> Tupload: i suggest you reburn the CD at lower speed....
[19:37] <Tuplad> bstarek: why ?
[19:37] <LarsTorben> a question, one minute ago an new system update distroyed my system.
[19:38] <bstarek> Tupload: because sometimes some error are created if u burn the cd too fast...
[19:38] <LarsTorben> now i  have to new install
[19:38] <Tuplad> bstarek: I see. eventhough different copies work on different machines ? all windows version work, but not 7, lol.
[19:39] <LarsTorben> i wanted to ask if  i should take the ubuntu again
[19:39] <LarsTorben> or debian
[19:39] <bstarek> Tupload: thats weird, u cant understand computers sometimes....u just have to retry and re-do it
[19:39] <Pici> LarsTorben: If you're expecting an answer other than Ubuntu, you're in the wrong place. anyway, this topic is better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:40] <Tuplad> bstarek: alright, thanks for your time!
[19:40] <cba123> I'm running Maverick 64 with 4gig ram.  I can never seem to keep it below like 3.3gig used according to "top" that is with nothing major running, most of the programs listed are system programs when I have the 3.3gig.  Any ideas?
[19:40] <cba123> Any ideas how I can lower my ram usage*
[19:40] <erUSUL> !ram
[19:40] <regina> cba123: try free -m
[19:40] <erUSUL> cba123: ^
[19:40] <bstarek> Tupload: no worries
[19:41] <cba123> erUSUL, But it frequently slows to a crawl with that.  free -m says 3016 used 947 free.
[19:41] <tehnef_> cba123: don't worry about RAM usage unless your machine starts paging out. vmstat is a good way to know whether or not your machine has been paging
[19:41] <nit-wit> cba123, top shows the cache are you sure your looking at the correct area
[19:41] <erUSUL> cba123: sooo... with 3.3 GiB used you have 700 MiB of ram you paid for doing nothing?
[19:42] <cba123> erUSUL, Yes.  Then when I open firefox (or chrome or opera) with a few tabs, then IM, my system crawls
[19:42] <manty> hi!
[19:43] <Tuplad> another thing, anyone has a manual by chance on how to set up ssh access to my machine ?
[19:43] <tehnef> Tuplad: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[19:43] <regina> !ssh
[19:43] <ikonia> Tuplad: install the package opensssh-server then you are done
[19:43] <manty> I'm trying to subscribe on launchpad with my debian.org email address but I'm not getting any mails from the system, any problems there?
[19:43] <erUSUL> cba123: well; check out if you are swapping. if you are not swapping then the problem is elsewhere
[19:43] <Tuplad> tehnef, ikonia: it's installed.
[19:44] <tehnef> Tuplad: if it's installed, it works.
[19:44] <tehnef> Tuplad: unless you broke it ;)
[19:44] <bastidrazor> Tuplad: if you're behind a router then you need to portforward 22 to your internal IP
[19:44] <Tuplad> tehnef: weird, I'll do more googling, maybe firewall.
[19:44] <erUSUL> manty: #launchpad may be a better place to ask ...
[19:44] <Tuplad> bastidrazor: oh, nice one, didn't know that!
[19:44] <manty> erUSUL: thanks
[19:44] <erUSUL> manty: no problem
[19:44] <cba123> erUSUL, I think I turned swap off actually.  free -m says Swap 0 0 0
[19:45] <bastidrazor> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH   Tuplad will help too.
[19:45] <manty> erUSUL: I was not aware of such a channel
[19:45] <tehnef> Tuplad: you should be able to ssh to it from your internal network without a problem. if you can't access it internally, maybe you're running a firewall on the box? if you can but not externally, forward the IP or set the linux machine as DMZ
[19:45] <Tuplad> tehnef: internally is ok, externally I can't.
[19:45] <tehnef> cba123: it's probably not the best idea to turn your swap off
[19:45] <regina> cba123: with 4GB ram...how could one swap that easily?
[19:45] <tehnef> Tuplad: yeah, the latter then
[19:45] <Readplease> Anyone tell me the difference between LTS and Latest? :)
[19:45] <Tuplad> tehnef: thanks!
[19:45] <bastidrazor> tehnef: dmz for just ssh?? a bit overkill don't you think.
[19:45] <Readplease> Also, why is 32-bit recommended right now?
[19:45] <regina> Readplease: !lts
[19:46] <tehnef> regina: swapping with 4GB RAM is way easy with modern software
[19:46] <regina> !lts
[19:46] <Readplease> fail
[19:46] <Readplease> ty
[19:46] <tehnef> bastidrazor: depends on what he or she is using the machine for
[19:46] <Readplease> lol i fail
[19:46] <tehnef> bastidrazor: i tend to give the info and let the questions fall where they may
[19:46] <bastidrazor> tehnef: it appears just as ssh access.
[19:47] <maco> Readplease: 32bit is recommended because 32bit will almost always work (since most 64bit cpus can run it) while if you pick 64bit iso and dont have a 64bit cpu but instead went "big number more better!" then it doesnt boot and thats no fun
[19:47] <kdub> bigger number big bestest!
[19:47] <Dr_Willis> Readplease:  i use 64bit on anysystems i got that can do 64bit. I hae very few issues withit.
[19:48] <Readplease> k
[19:48] <Readplease> so
[19:48] <Readplease> same here... :)
[19:48] <Malkavian> hi, I installed natty and after an update a few minutes ago I cannot start ubuntu anylonger, I am using now the live session; how can I login back into the old system?
[19:48] <tehnef> 64-bit flash has generally always been the major sticking point, but i think even that's fixed now.
[19:48] <Readplease> I don't understand why anyone would install a 3-year operating system
[19:48] <manty> erUSUL: not that they are very responsive there ;-)
[19:48] <regina> !natty
[19:48] <Readplease> it's not that hard to back up and reformat
[19:49] <Malkavian> when I start it, it comes the login windows and then it takes no input
[19:49] <Readplease> So what does "support" mean?
[19:49] <maco> Readplease: bugfix/security updates keep happening that long
[19:49] <maco> Readplease: and we keep helping in here that long
[19:49] <tehnef> Readplease: there's plenty of reason to install an OS that's still officially supported
[19:49] <Readplease> SO official support is going to drop?
[19:50] <maco> for 10.04 it'll drop in 2013
[19:50] <Readplease> And then there will be a 10.11?
[19:50] <tehnef> maco: or 2015 for server :)
[19:50] <craigbass1976> I'm about to embark on a server setup.  When I set up mail, I don't want a user account on the box for everyone that has mail.  The CentOS box I have currently running is set up that way.  What do I do different?
[19:50] <maco> tehnef: yup
[19:50] <maco> Readplease: no
[19:50] <Readplease> Oh.  Well what's next, maco? :)
[19:50] <tehnef> Readplease: it's year.month, and the support cycle depends on whether or not it's an LTS release
[19:50] <maco> Readplease: 10.10 is already out. the next release will be 11.04. then will be 11.10, and then the next LTS will be 12.04
[19:51] <maco> Readplease: 11.04 will be out in about 3 weeks
[19:51] <Readplease> Okay.  Then all I don't understand is what the difference is in software
[19:51] <Readplease> I mean...
[19:51] <maco> Readplease: newer ubuntu releases have newer versions of upstream software
[19:51] <Readplease> Is it just an allert that pops up in 3 years that says, "Dude!  Update!"
[19:51] <Readplease> ?
[19:51] <maco> Readplease: and slight changes in default installs
[19:51] <saal7193> how do i search for files in any folder like i can on windows?
[19:52] <maco> Readplease: you get update notifications for bugfix/security updates all the time... but itll offer a new release
[19:52] <regina> saal7193: gnome-search-tool
[19:52] <Dr_Willis> Readplease:  your computer starts laughing at you... :)
[19:52] <tehnef> Readplease: the default packages have changed/evolved, the kernels are quite different, etc. the releases are quite different, especially when you compare them on a longer scale than adjacent releases
[19:52] <blm22> Hmm
[19:52] <maco> Readplease: by default, LTS are set to only tell you about new LTS releases, and they'll do that a few months after the new LTS happens so it has time to get a bit of use before you upgrade your system
[19:52] <Readplease> how large should my system partition be?
[19:52] <Readplease> last time, it was too small.  i couldn't update
[19:52] <abdulkarim> @all: Hi
[19:52] <maco> Readplease: you can change it to show normal upgrades as well, in which case when a new release happens the Update Manager shows a box at the top offering it
[19:52] <Dr_Willis> Readplease:  deoends on your needs... I say at least 10gb.. if not larger.
[19:52] <regina> Readplease: 10GB for root..
[19:52] <erUSUL> Readplease: 10 GiB if you can afford
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> Readplease:  i would proberly suggest at least 20+
[19:53] <Readplease> that's enough for 3 years? lol
[19:53] <tehnef> Readplease: depends on how you're partitioning. if you're keeping your /home somewhere else i would recommend around 10GB for server and 20GB for desktop
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> Readplease:  it depends on your needs.
[19:53] <Bennit> Hai
[19:53] <Dr_Willis> ive filled up 10gb ones with tmp files.. :)
[19:53] <Readplease> Desktop
[19:53] <abdulkarim> i am having a really Crappy Internet experience on my Ubuntu box...
[19:53] <OO> Hey all i've got a problem with my sound, i can't get it to work and googles going to slow to give me results
[19:53] <maco> Readplease: i used 10GB for / and the rest for /home previously, but as i ramped up development work i needed more room for libraries, docs, and debug symbols, so now i use 15GB for /
[19:54] <Readplease> Decided to cut Win on this pc b/c I finally got better TTS software.
[19:54] <Bennit> I'm having troubles separating my headphones and speakers (in applications like mumble or wine)
[19:54] <Elssha> hi
[19:54] <OO> My audio controller is picked up as (from lspci)  Intel Corporation 82801DB
[19:54] <Bennit> Under windows I'm able to specify under mumble to use the headphones, while under ubuntu (10.04) it doesn't seem to make a distinction
[19:55] <Readplease> ~``X-//`~  hand-coded.  doesn't work with anything that's already out there except Ubuntu
[19:55] <Readplease> as far as I know
[19:55] <Elssha> running 10.10 and since I switched over whenever I try to maximize youtube or other streams my screen freezes
[19:55] <erUSUL> !sound | OO
[19:55] <saal7193> regina but how do i use that to search any folder?
[19:55] <Elssha> tried in FF and chromium, both get the same problem
[19:55] <Readplease> Then I will give 20 gigs because I like docs.
[19:55] <tehnef> abdulkarim: you'll have to be more specific if you'd like help
[19:55] <bercik_> Hi all
[19:55] <Readplease> thank you, maco.
[19:55] <Bennit> I only see one device erUSUL
[19:55] <Elssha> anyone know what might be causing it or (more importantly) how to fix it?
[19:56] <maco> OO: thats not very useful.  "head /proc/asound/card*/codec*"   would give more detailed info
[19:56] <tehnef> Readplease: again, this is if your /home is somewhere else. if you're keeping everything on / and you're using it as a full-time OS I'd recommend 30+ GB
[19:56] <maco> OO: put the out put on paste.ubuntu.com and give the link here
[19:56] <OO> maco: No such file or directory
[19:57] <bercik_> What command and options should I use to check filesystem of ext3 and ntfs?
[19:57] <maco> OO: ls /proc/asound
[19:57] <maco> bercik_: for ntfs, use windows
[19:57] <maco> bercik_: for ext3:   fsck
[19:57] <saket> hi
[19:57] <bengold_> What's the natty irc channel?
[19:57] <bercik_> maco: thanks
[19:57] <maco> bercik_: you cant do it while the filesystem is mounted though
[19:57] <milamber> Elssha: what version of flash?
[19:57] <tehnef> !natty
[19:57] <abdulkarim> Readplease, since a few months i'm having issues with browsing the web (downloading is OK) but some websites like FaceBook, Google etc take ages to Load!
[19:57] <saket> i am trying to install via synaptic
[19:57] <OO> maco: http://paste.ubuntu.com/589834/
[19:57] <Elssha> how would i check that mil?
[19:57] <saket> i am getting time exceeded
[19:58] <saket> but other packages are getting installed
[19:58] <saket> only trouble for some packages
[19:58] <maco> OO: ok so:   head /proc/asound/card0/codec\#0
[19:58] <milamber> Elssha: dpkg -l | grep flash
[19:58] <saket> any help ?
[19:58] <abdulkarim> even empathy won't work properly, i'm logged out out about every 5 minute, Pidgin Crashes as soon as i login to Facebook
[19:58] <Elssha> ii  flashplugin-installer                 <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>                         Adobe Flash Player plugin installer
[19:59] <milamber> Elssha: many people have been having problems. it doesn't do fullscreen at all.
[19:59] <Dr_Willis> Elssha:  youtube can use HTML5 for its videos. and not need flash :) tht may help woth youtube.. but not other sites
[19:59] <OO> maco: no such file or directory
[19:59] <Eyes> #Is anyone here willing to assist me with a general linux query?
[19:59] <jrib> Eyes: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[19:59] <maco> OO: ok, so whats in /proc/asound/card0 ?
[19:59] <saket> how to add mirrors to synaptic ?
[20:00] <Elssha> so basically wait until 11.04 comes out and hope it's fixed then?
[20:00] <milamber> !mirrors
[20:00] <Dr_Willis> Elssha:  try it now (its in beta) file a bug if the problem still happens.
[20:00] <milamber> Elssha: unfortunately it is not an ubuntu problem, it's a flash problem.
[20:00] <Eyes> jrib: wasnt sure if this was an ubuntu or GTHO channel or not
[20:00] <Dr_Willis> Elssha:  flash is known to be probematic. has been for years
[20:00] <jrib> Eyes: GTHO?
[20:00] <Elssha> it worked fine in my old install
[20:01] <milamber> Get The Heck Out
[20:01] <Elssha> that's why i thought that
[20:01] <OO> maco: http://paste.ubuntu.com/589835/
[20:01] <Dr_Willis> Elssha:  adobe may of updated things and broke stuff.. its hard to tell
[20:01] <jrib> Eyes: well without knowing the actual question it's impossible to tell  you whether it's appropriate or not
[20:01] <Elssha> and i can't switch to 11 until after finals, too much teweeking
[20:01] <milamber> Elssha: what was the last version you were using?
[20:01] <Elssha> 10.04
[20:01] <Dr_Willis> Elssha:  test it with a flash drive. or live cd.. perhaps.
[20:02] <Elssha> I kinda managed to delete something that rendered it more or less useless and had to reinstall, so went up to 10.10
[20:03] <milamber> Elssha: that is interesting, i am on 10.04 now and it doesn't do full screen w/ flash
[20:03] <Elssha> odd
[20:03] <Elssha> mine did it fine
[20:04] <milamber> Elssha: you may have still been on the 9.* series, 10 has introduced problems (not only on linux)
[20:04] <Elssha> maybe
[20:04] <Elssha> i installed it right around when it came out
[20:04] <maco> OO: codec97\#0 then
[20:05] <manty> erUSUL: Somebody is taking care of my issue on #launchpad, thanks
[20:05] <Combatjuan> I would like to delete the Nth line of a file too large to open in an editor.  Suggestions?
[20:05] <craigbass1976> Anyone familiar with usb-creator-gtk?  I'm trying to make a bootable usb drive.
[20:07] <^Phantom^> How can I record from my tv tuner using VLC?
[20:07] <kaafaar> hello all
[20:08] <userdel> bstarek: the problem was the mode should be shared by computers and i had it as dhcp . so it was searching for it all the way
[20:09] <swatto> Hello, is anyone there? dont see anybody speaking here
[20:09] <L40SX> There are people here.
[20:10] <murderertoy> i think the same... is no people or what?
[20:10] <swatto> ahh ok
[20:10] <murderertoy> is the same on a lot of chat
[20:10] <murderertoy> s
[20:10] <Starminn> !patience
[20:10] <OO> maco: http://paste.ubuntu.com/589844/
[20:10] <brightspark> Combatjuan: $man ed
[20:11] <OO> maco: they are both plaintext documents, no more folders
[20:11] <swatto> Does anyone know if there is a good terminal based media player?
[20:11] <maco> OO: it's a directory? oooh interesting. pastebin both files, please
[20:11] <Pici> murderertoy: Look at /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini
[20:11] <andai> I'm sharing wireless internet but it only works half the time
[20:11] <Pici> murderertoy: Or if you're using php5-cli: /etc/php5/cli/php.ini
[20:11] <maco> OO: oh i understand why it's like that though. it's an AC97 codec not Azalea..
[20:11] <AegNuddel> why would I get: No rule to make target `install'.  Stop.
[20:12] <AegNuddel> in terminal
[20:12] <Combatjuan> brightspark: The man page on ed says that it reads the whole file into an internal buffer.  I think I'm going to use "head -n(N-1)" and "tail -n(TOTAL - N - 1)"
[20:12] <maco> AegNuddel: either there's no Makefile in the directory or the Makefile doesn't have an "install:" target
[20:12] <jrib> AegNuddel: because your Makefile has no install rule
[20:12] <Combatjuan> maco: What is Azalea?
[20:12] <OO> maco: I see, well here is the output of lspci: http://paste.ubuntu.com/589845/
[20:13] <maco> Combatjuan: "Intel HDA" spec. the fact that intel and nvidia both manufacture things to that spec makes for confusing, so using the spec's codename works a little better
[20:13] <nixiepixel> hey guys!
[20:13] <Combatjuan> maco: Ah.  It's also my daughter's name.  Doesn't seem like the sort of thing she could be made fun of for.  (-8
[20:14] <nixiepixel> how do i become a kernal developer
[20:14] <maco> nixiepixel: check out kernel.ubuntu.com for Ubuntu Kernel Team process information
[20:14] <AegNuddel> maco, i was just doing what the site said to
[20:15] <nixiepixel> ahh ok, thanks!
[20:15] <OO> nixiepixel: Also http://kernelnewbies.org/
[20:15] <AegNuddel> jrib, i was just doing what the site said to
[20:15] <maco> AegNuddel: is there a file named "Makefile"?
[20:15] <nixiepixel> i think ubuntu is really good but there needs to be more features that windows has as obviously windows is better because more people use it
[20:15] <slipp3d> I'm reading that there is a newer version of evolution ... what is the most current version of the software that I can install w/ mapi (ppa's are ok)?
[20:15] <nit-wit> nixiepixel, MS is a corporate behemoth
[20:16] <AegNuddel> maco, no...hmm...why would they tell me to do that then?
[20:16]  * maco wonders why someone is pretending to be Nixie
[20:16] <nixiepixel> and i am just speaking from my personal experience, but i find it is refreshing as i am female, and females are genetically able to think of things differently such as many notable women such as ayn rand because we have the female experience, e.g. the attentions
[20:16] <maco> AegNuddel: is there a Makefile.in maybe? and possibly you skipped a step?
[20:16] <kyle__> Can i format a USB stick with NTFS using ubuntu ?
[20:16] <ni8mare> does anyone know java sockets here ?
[20:17] <maco> nixiepixel: except the *real* Nixie Pixel video blogs for an Ubuntu fan blog, making your imitation of her pretty poor
[20:17] <AegNuddel> nm found another line

[20:17] <noutilus> no i work a VirtualBOx

[20:18] <maimster> I'm thinking about setting up Virtualbox just to check it out.

[20:20] <AnubArack> can I use Wubi to install the 11.04 beta?
[20:21] <timposey> I am guessing that I have a bug that was downloaded as part of a regular update to 10.04 but audio on both my computers has stopped working in the past few days.  Anyone have any ideas?
[20:21] <Pici> AnubArack: No, see the topic in #ubuntu+1
[20:21] <Starminn> AnubArack: Natty support in #ubuntu+1
[20:21] <Combatjuan> brightspark: Turns out my head > out.txt; tail >> out.txt idea wasn't as quick as I had hoped it might be.  Have you personally used ed for something like this?
[20:22] <AnubArack> ty Starminn and Pici. But then can I install 10.10 and then update to 10.04 from within ?
[20:23] <brightspark> combatjuan: no, because it's about the most user-unfriendly way to edit text available.  Is the file so big you cannnot open it in vim?  I've used that a fair bit.
[20:23] <kyle__> slipp3d: gparted, all done :)
[20:23] <AnubArack> I'm on a netbook and i saw Ubuntu Netbook edition was dicontinued so I want to get used to unity ...
[20:23] <Pici> AnubArack: #ubuntu+1 is for Natty support, not here.
[20:23] <Combatjuan> brightspark: Yeah, it's too big for vim.  And that doesn't happen ofent.
[20:23] <Eyes> Ok, I just installed broadcom's proprietary drivers since the open source drivers hate on my broadcom 4312 rev01 (4315). The drivers require b43, b43legacy, and ssb to go away. I purged both b43 and b43legacy using apt, and added all 3 to modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. all 3 keep getting loaded on boot. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[20:24] <Combatjuan> brightspark: It's 34GB.  So quite a bit bigger than my memory + swap.
[20:24] <brightspark> combatjuan:  Well you're officially outside the realm of my experience.
[20:25] <Combatjuan> brightspark: Thanks anyway.
[20:26] <Roasted> How do I make DHCP3 auto start when I boot Ubuntu? It's not auto starting the service.
[20:29] <__vincent> hi
[20:29] <regina> Roasted: have you defined a subnet for dhcp server?
[20:29] <__vincent> in wget, how do you make it so the file specified by -O isnt created if the URL is not found????
[20:30] <dougmencken> hi guys! just interesting: which gcc version will be in 11.04?
[20:30] <Roasted> regina, well it should have auto defined, as the package I install with dhcp automatically does that. I just want it to auto start.
[20:30] <dougmencken> and which kernel
[20:30] <regina> Roasted: no ..you have to define  a pool for it to start...
[20:30] <Roasted> regina, it should already be set...
[20:31] <Roasted> regina, hmm
[20:31] <brightspark> dougmencken: /join #ubuntu+1
[20:31] <Roasted> Remind me - where's the config file located?
[20:31] <Eyes> Ok, I just installed broadcom's proprietary drivers since the open source drivers hate on my broadcom 4312 rev01 (4315). The drivers require b43, b43legacy, and ssb to go away. I purged both b43 and b43legacy using apt, and added all 3 to modprobe.d/blacklist.conf. all 3 keep getting loaded on boot. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[20:31] <dougmencken> brightspark: ubuntu+1? is this a channel name or a joke?
[20:32] <dougmencken> ok, 'll try, but I'm sure I'll get new channel with only me inside ;)
[20:32] <[TK]D-Fender> dougmencken: Channel name
[20:32] <Roasted> dougmencken, no joke.
[20:32] <Roasted> dougmencken, Ubuntu+1 is always for the very next ubuntu release that isn't out yet, but it's close
[20:32] <kubanc> are there any CPU sensors installed in ubuntu 10.10, or i need to install them?
[20:32] <Roasted> dougmencken, while *this* channel is always for the most current release
[20:32] <regina> Roasted: /etc/dhcp*
[20:32] <dougmencken> well, really this channel is full of guys, thank you
[20:32] <groundup> I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 10.10 and now I get a blinking cursor. I can boot from my USB drive
[20:32] <Roasted> regina, if a range is set, will it auto start upon boot?
[20:33] <regina> Roasted: after you configure it...try starting manually...if it works...it should start automatically
[20:33] <Roasted> dougmencken, it's just the nature of the best. I'm in here because I want help with 10.10, but I haven't touched 11.04 to help answer your question. Likewise in Ubuntu+1, that's what those guys are discussing. So even though it's still Ubuntu, it's just to split traffic a little bit.
[20:33] <Roasted> regina, thanks!
[20:34] <regina> Roasted: good luck:)
[20:35] <dougmencken> Roasted: okay okay, I just asked because many many package developers rely on ubuntu, and gcc 4.6 has changed a lot of thing, well binutils 2.21.51 too
[20:35] <hever> Hello how could I list the backup superblocks of a ext4 filesystem?
[20:36] <hever> mke2fs is not usable because the fs is mounted, but it isn't!
[20:36] <AegNuddel> My mom's software center always says it is waiting for another software manager to quit, even if nothing is running...
[20:37] <chris4585> is there a support channel for ubiquity?
[20:37] <AegNuddel> I can get to synaptic, and download from the internet, but the software center...no
[20:38] <regina> AegNuddel: do you have synaptic open when using software center?
[20:38] <regina> AegNuddel: or any other package manager like apt/aptitude in a terminal
[20:39] <LarsTo> i do not know sure if i should use
[20:39] <LarsTo> 10.04, 10.10 or 11.04
[20:39] <AegNuddel> regina, no
[20:40] <AnubArack> Does wubi download the iso to the folder it's in ?
[20:40] <iceroot_> LarsTo: 11.04 is a beta, 10.04 is a lts, 10.10 is the actual stable
[20:41] <osmosis> what would cause a sudden drop in # of inode table size?
[20:41] <cm-geometrix> yo
[20:42] <RavneHursT> Anyone here know how I can mount more than one sshfs at a time??
[20:43] <RavneHursT> I can mount one filesystem.. but as soon as I mount another.. the first goes away :(
[20:44] <dougmencken> sshfs?
[20:45] <dougmencken> time to google
[20:45] <brontosaurusrex> RavneHursT, how do you mount?
[20:45] <enzotib> RavneHursT, it works for me
[20:46] <dougmencken> cula
[20:46] <RavneHursT> sshfs -o port=2222 -o sshfs_debug unam@remotehost.com:/ /media/dir
[20:46] <RavneHursT> brontoszurusrex^
[20:46] <||arifaX> I need a second cups-pdf printer with its own configuration file. How can I achieve this? I need 2 different postprocessing scripts to work.or is there a way to determine the printer-name in the postprocessing script to do something different then?
[20:46] <spetrea> does HTTPS use a different key for each request or does the browser generate one once and uses it throughout all of its requests on HTTPS ?
[20:46] <new> ïðèâåò âñåì
[20:46] <RavneHursT> brontoszurusrex: once I try that for a diff remotehost and a diff dir.. the first goes away
[20:47] <ignacio99> ola
[20:47] <bastidrazor> RavneHursT: you're using the same mount point?
[20:47] <leg3nd> spetrea, i doubt it generates a new key for each request
[20:47] <deshymers> randomuser: hey do you remeber a few days ago when you were trying to hepl my debug a video driver issue, where my desktop was bigger then my screen?
[20:47] <ignacio99> no hablo igles
[20:47] <Pici> !es | ignacio99
[20:47] <RavneHursT> bastidrazo: two diff dirs within /media
[20:47] <spetrea> leg3nd: so would the public key of the browser be a good fingerprint for a machine ?
[20:48] <Seraph92> Can I get support on here?
[20:48] <RavneHursT> bastidrazor: two diff dirs within /media
[20:48] <ignacio99> i am homexork
[20:49] <regina> Seraph92: if it relates to ubuntu...pleas ask
[20:49] <Seraph92> Can someone help me with a problem I am having?
[20:49] <PresuntoRJ> Seraph92: most likely, yes
[20:49] <LarsTo> I have burned Ubuntu 10.10 on a cd and now want to install. good idea ?
[20:49] <Seraph92> ok thankls
[20:49] <leg3nd> spetrea, dont quote me on that, but yea i belive its asymetric and requires both the public and private (browser) key.
[20:49] <pylix> LarsTo: why not?
[20:49] <MatKill[PL]> LarsTo: depend
[20:49] <leg3nd> spetrea, so i wouldn't think it would be efficient to generate a new key pair for every request
[20:50] <spetrea> leg3nd: so then it can be used as a finerprint
[20:50] <ignacio99> Your speeches Spanish
[20:50] <Seraph92> well, my minecraft server is hosted on ubuntu 10.10 (non-server) and Remote desktop says that I can connect via <IP_ADDRESS> but When I try, it fails to connect. As well as teamviewer locks up and forces me to reboot the computer
[20:50] <Newb4Life> Anyone know how to fix a stalled installation in Ubuntu Software Center?  It's keeping me from (un)installing other software for two days now.
[20:50] <PresuntoRJ> Seraph92: state your problem... you don't need to ask for permission... if no one can help you here, they will probably indicate where to seek for info
[20:50] <regina> Seraph92: is that server behind a router?
[20:51] <leg3nd> spetrea, im not sure about that
[20:51] <LarsTo> Not sure 10.10 or 11.04
[20:51] <Seraph92> yeah, <IP_ADDRESS> is the external IP
[20:51] <ignacio99> If someone there speaks Spanish who says<PHONE_NUMBER>3333
[20:51] <PresuntoRJ> !ask
[20:51] <spetrea> leg3nd: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32110_01/core.1013/b32196/img/ssl_hello.gif
[20:51] <MatKill[PL]> LarsTo: 10.10
[20:51] <Seraph92> it was working fine with TightVNC up until a power outage took the computer offline
[20:51] <LarsTo> ok
[20:51] <Newb4Life> Anyone know how to fix a stalled installation in Ubuntu Software Center?  It's keeping me from (un)installing other software for two days now.
[20:51] <LarsTo> not 10.04 ?
[20:52] <regina> Seraph92: then you probably have to forward the port ..but try to use vnc over ssh..instead of plain vnc
[20:52] <leg3nd> spetrea, yea you see how the data part is totally isolated from the authentication
[20:52] <spreadneck> does anyone know what this error message means: [GPG error: http://deb.playonlinux.com maverick Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY E0F72778C4676186Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/dupondje/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-amd64/Packages.gz  404  Not Found

[20:52] <milamber> !details | Newb4Life
[20:52] <Seraph92> I am on a win7 comp now.
[20:52] <RavneHursT> odd.. ok.. now it's working..
[20:52] <leg3nd> spetrea, unless they change the key i dont think it would change
[20:52] <RavneHursT> nm
[20:52] <regina> Seraph92: thats right...
[20:52] <leg3nd> spetrea, but then again over the wire its totally encrypted anyways
[20:52] <Newb4Life> ok, h/o as sec
[20:52] <Seraph92> ok, so how do I go about doing that?
[20:53] <leg3nd> spetrea, so youd need remote or local access to the machine to get it.
[20:53] <ZykoticK9> Newb4Life, in a terminal try "sudo apt-get -f install"
[20:53] <Seraph92> I cannot connect to it atm, even though it said I could
[20:53] <regina> Seraph92: on linux its possible using "vncviewer -via" option
[20:53] <spetrea> leg3nd: yeah but can a key be used as a fingerprint, as an identifier for the machine ?
[20:53] <Socky_> Hey guys.  Whats wrong with this syntax?  ssh user@host port:port
[20:53] <Seraph92> well I am remoting from a win7 computer
[20:53] <Socky_> it keeps trying to connect on port 22, and not the custom port i choose
[20:53] <LarsTo> 10 04 or 10.10 ?
[20:53] <leg3nd> spetrea, what do you mean exactly
[20:53] <deshymers> Socky_:  I think its -p port
[20:54] <deshymers> man ssh to double check
[20:54] <spetrea> leg3nd: like , in that diagram I think the key is the "certificate"
[20:54] <PresuntoRJ> Socky_: try  % ssh -p PORTNUM user@host
[20:54] <milamber> deshymers: you are correct
[20:54] <spetrea> leg3nd: you got a server using https
[20:54] <leg3nd> spetrea, yes it is
[20:54] <regina> Seraph92: if its just the local network then its fine..else dont use plain vnc
[20:54] <spetrea> leg3nd: he got many certificates from all the users using that server
[20:54] <MatKill[PL]> LarsTo: 10.10 .... what do you want the older version installation?
[20:54] <spetrea> leg3nd: can you make a 1-on-1 relationship between certificates and clients ?
[20:54] <LarsTo> longer support maybe
[20:54] <LarsTo> but installed 10.10 now
[20:55] <Seraph92> Its not local, I'm at a different location. its my friends computer that I am hosting off of
[20:55] <spetrea> or wait.. it's per server
[20:55] <spetrea> on a server basis
[20:55] <PresuntoRJ> Socky_: if its SFTP or SCP, it looks like % sftp -oPort=PORTNUMBER user@host
[20:55] <spetrea> but it's cool
[20:55] <Rziz> hm, is it possible to dualboot ubuntu arm and android using U-Boot or redboot?
[20:55] <Seraph92> should I set up a static IP?
[20:55] <phoenixsampras> help! docky is overlapping with the bottom menu!!
[20:55] <leg3nd> spetrea, i dont get what your asking sorry, but once the session is stopped the authentication process happens again with a new random key.
[20:55] <Newb4Life> I am using 10.04,  I started to install a package that I forgot the name of (Ubuntu Software Center simply says "installeding packages 50%), and I expect it to either finish or die.
[20:56] <spreadneck> does anyone know what this error message means: [http://paste.ubuntu.com/589863/]? it comes up when im trying to update from update manager...
[20:56] <abdulkarim> phoenixsampras, may be you should remove the bottom menu!
[20:56] <leg3nd> spetrea, so if your talking about passing a certificate to login no its not possible
[20:57] <Seraph92> ok, so I have putty now.
[20:57] <PresuntoRJ> spreadneck: you need to go to playonlinux.com and read there how to get the signature installed on you system
[20:57] <Seraph92> what do I need to have my friend do on his end with the linux machine
[20:58] <spreadneck> thanks, is that for the entire error?
[20:58] <PresuntoRJ> spreadneck: they have a UBUNTU guide with the download
[20:58] <PresuntoRJ> spreadneck: looks like
[20:58] <ula> hi
[20:58] <fisix> i ./configured, make, sudo make installed openssl 1.0.0d but openssl>version still shows OpenSSL 0.9.8o 01 Jun 2010. wat do?
[20:58] <ula> it's my first time
[20:58] <leg3nd> fisix, did you remove the version you had installed before you compiled it?
[20:59] <ZykoticK9> spreadneck, i think the PPA errors are something unrelated to playdeb
[20:59] <PresuntoRJ> spreadneck: the official ubuntu repository come set properly from the distro... anything else, is on your own... for instance, it also happens with Opera (the web browser)
[20:59] <fisix> leg3nd, no. how do i do that?
[20:59] <leg3nd> fisix, sudo apt-get --purge remove openssl
[21:00] <fisix> thanks leg3nd , i'll try that
[21:00] <Newb4Life> I am using 10.04,  I started to install a package that I forgot the name of (Ubuntu Software Center simply says "installeding packages 50%), and I expect it to either finish or die.
[21:00] <Newb4Life> Can anyone please help?
[21:00] <ZykoticK9> Newb4Life, in a terminal "sudo apt-get -f install"
[21:00] <Newb4Life> Tried it
[21:00] <Newb4Life> :(
[21:00] <ZykoticK9> Newb4Life, and what did it say?  what error did you get?
[21:01] <hever> If I try to repair an broken filesystem with special superblocks ubuntu tells me it's alerady mounted, but it is definetly not. How can I force the repair?
[21:01] <Newb4Life> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[21:01] <Newb4Life> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[21:01] <PresuntoRJ> Newb4Life: try % sudo dpkg --configure -a
[21:01] <ZykoticK9> Newb4Life, you need to close USC first
[21:01] <spreadneck> so i need to use the installation disc to get the ppas?
[21:01] <maco> ZykoticK9++
[21:01] <PresuntoRJ> Newb4Life: there is another apt on progress
[21:01] <xangua> !ppa | spreadneck
[21:01] <Newb4Life> That is what I said
[21:01] <PresuntoRJ> Newb4Life: make sure they all have stoped
[21:01] <Newb4Life> I am trying to end it
[21:01] <Newb4Life> I cannot stop them
[21:02] <Newb4Life> its frozen
[21:02] <Newb4Life> That is what I said
[21:02] <ZykoticK9> Newb4Life, have you restarted the machine?
[21:02] <Newb4Life> Yes
[21:02] <maco> Newb4Life: is it possibly waiting for input?
[21:02] <ZykoticK9> Newb4Life, then you may need to manually delete the lock file.
[21:02] <LarsTo> i look for an good hard drive
[21:02] <maco> Newb4Life: some packages (like java) wait for you to accept a license or answer a configuration question before tehy can finish installing
[21:02] <LarsTo> which should i use for ubuntu
[21:02] <PresuntoRJ> Newb4Life: ok, try running xkill, and click on the program that froze
[21:03] <ZykoticK9> PresuntoRJ, that will almost certainly leave the lock file...
[21:03] <PresuntoRJ> Newb4Life: Alt+F2 opens a nice run dialog
[21:03] <maco> Newb4Life: oh if you rebooted it while the install was going..yeah itll be stuck. delete the lock file as ZykoticK9 said, then "sudo apt-get -f install"
[21:04] <Newb4Life> I rebooted after hours of waiting for it to get unstuck
[21:04] <Newb4Life> I was hoping it would wipe it out
[21:04] <Pici> !aptfix | Newb4Life
[21:04] <openbees> how to enable fire effect in compiz
[21:05] <PresuntoRJ> ZykoticK9: I'll test it, but I don't think a kill -15, which is a default HUP signal, leaves the lock file... a kill -9 probably, though I recall it had not on my systems, ever
[21:05] <mkanyicy> openbees, install ccsm
[21:05] <maco> Pici: ooh -vki? NEAT
[21:05] <erUSUL> !ccsm | openbees
[21:05] <ZykoticK9> PresuntoRJ, i find xkill to be rather unreliable

[21:05] <red2kic> openbees: Pour the gasoline over the monitor. Light it up with a match.

[21:06] <Newb4Life> ubottu: I get a: sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[21:06] <openbees> red2kic: did u tried so
[21:06] <Newb4Life> oops
[21:06] <openbees> i have already ccsm installed
[21:06] <Newb4Life> ubottu: I get a: dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[21:06] <red2kic> openbees: compizconfig-settings-manager is not same as ccsm -- It's a whole different package.
[21:07] <mkanyicy> openbees, then you have to have to tinker with ccsm
[21:07] <ZykoticK9> red2kic, ccsm=CompizConfigSettingManager - same thing
[21:07] <maco> Newb4Life: ubottu is a bot. telling it things like that won't work. Pici is the one who told the bot to give you instructions
[21:07] <mkanyicy> red2kic, its the same package
[21:07] <red2kic> ZykoticK9: What is the simple of ccsm package?
[21:07] <amh345> is there a way to block an ip from pinging my server?  i've got one ip that's hitting me thousands of times a day.
[21:07] <maco> Newb4Life: try without the  ; dpkg --configure -a
[21:08] <openbees> red2kic: and how to install ccsm ...?
[21:08] <ZykoticK9> red2kic, sorry not sure simple-something?
[21:08] <erUSUL> !ufw | amh345
[21:08] <maco> Newb4Life: just the sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[21:08] <red2kic> ZykoticK9: There are advanced compiz settings -- then there are simple (3 options) compiz settings.
[21:08] <maco> Newb4Life: does it tell you what's using it and offer to kill it?
[21:08] <PresuntoRJ> Newb4Life: ubottu is a piece of software.. :)
[21:08] <ZykoticK9> red2kic, ya i know what you're talking about.
[21:09] <mkanyicy> red2kic, let us lay the compiz argument to rest, if you can help openbees out, it would be a great thing you have done
[21:09] <red2kic> ZykoticK9: Alrigh. :)
[21:09] <ezhangin> hello!
[21:09] <Newb4Life> maco no it doesnt
[21:09] <Newb4Life> and xkill didn't work either
[21:09] <ezhangin> can someone tell me how to set the partition type on a GPT drive to 0xDA (non-fs data)?
[21:09] <ezhangin> this is killin me lol
[21:09] <openbees> mkanyicy: thats what i m saying that ccsm = compiz config setting maneger
[21:10] <openbees> openbees : i m not noob ..
[21:10] <PresuntoRJ> ZykoticK9: just tested it... the lock vanished from my system even if I killed -9 the upgrade in the middle ...  :-/ I am not willing to state that it could never happen, or it will happen if you reboot in the middle (I am not rebooting this machine right now)
[21:11] <ZykoticK9> PresuntoRJ, you are a brave man ;)
[21:11] <ezhangin> trying to set up another raid-5 i cannot for the life of me recall how to format on GPT
[21:11] <openbees> mkanyicy: have u any idea about my problem ....even i have comiz-fusion-plugin-extra installed
[21:11] <mkanyicy> openbees, the package name is compizconfig-settings-manager and the command after install is ccsm
[21:11] <PresuntoRJ> ZykoticK9: naaa... it was kind of safe
[21:12] <mkanyicy> openbees, you want fire when doing what? all the time a burning monitor?
[21:12] <ZykoticK9> PresuntoRJ, nothing a "sudo apt-get -f install" shouldn't be able to take care of ;)
[21:13] <searayman> hey all i just tried upgrading from ubuntu 10.10 to natty and its all messy as hell right now. When I first logged on there were hug black blotches everywere and I hav no unity bar nothing
[21:13] <openbees>  as a effect for openning and closing windows......and this is what i am not getting in animation section of ccsm
[21:13] <searayman> right now ilogged off then back on into a classic session just so i can get onlline to gegt help
[21:13] <PresuntoRJ> searayman: try the ubuntu+1 channel
[21:13] <searayman> PresuntoRJ: thanks
[21:13] <searayman> #ubuntu+1
[21:14] <PresuntoRJ> searayman: /join #ubuntu+1
[21:14] <drozdak> give me some good reasons why to update from 8.04 lts to 10.04 lts i'm using custom desktop (openbox + xfce) just wanna make sure that's good decision
[21:14] <searayman> PresuntoRJ: yea i just got in thanks for the tip though
[21:14] <searayman> PresuntoRJ: it dont seem to active
[21:14] <Socky_> PresuntoRJ: thanks
[21:14] <mkanyicy> openbees, seems like this effect is soo hiden if no longer available
[21:14] <mkanyicy> openbees, just checking it out
[21:14] <nothingspecial> drozdak: security ??
[21:14] <hever> can I force to mark a filesystem clean ???
[21:15] <drozdak> nothingspecial i don't get it, isn't my ubuntu already secure?
[21:15] <fisix> leg3nd, i ran your cmd and config/make/makeinstalled openssl-1.0.0d. running "openssl" now says i don't have it...
[21:15] <erUSUL> hever: which one?
[21:15] <hever> /dev/sda1
[21:15] <fisix> leg3nd, The program 'openssl' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[21:15] <fisix> sudo apt-get install openssl
[21:15] <PresuntoRJ> ubottu !ubuntu+1
[21:15] <hever> erUSUL, /dev/sda1
[21:15] <ayecee> drozdak: no particular reason aside from more time before end of life
[21:16] <erUSUL> hever: i mean... is ext4 ? ntfs?
[21:16] <ayecee> drozdak: newer packages, but it doesn't sound like you're hurting for features.
[21:16] <red2kic> openbees: http://tinyurl.com/2bt6u6r :)
[21:16] <leg3nd> fisix, are there any errors when your compiling?
[21:16] <hever> erUSUL, ext4
[21:16] <drozdak> ayecee thx :)
[21:16] <erUSUL> hever: pass a fsck on it
[21:16] <hever> erUSUL, it says it's mounted but it isn't !
[21:16] <fisix> leg3nd, no
[21:16] <amh345> im getting an "iptables: No chain/target/match by that name." error when i run sudo iptables -A input IP_ADDRESS -j DROP
[21:16] <erUSUL> hever: if it is the root filesystem just do « sudo touch /forcefsck » and reboot
[21:16] <leg3nd> fisix, try 'sudo apt-get build-dep openssl'  then try to compile it again.
[21:17] <hever> erUSUL, but I'm on a boot CD
[21:17] <leg3nd> fisix, if you run 'make install' it should install or error.
[21:17] <drozdak> also i have another question: i've read that the support of 8.04 will end this month, will i be able to update it later?
[21:17] <ayecee> amh345: that's not a valid rule specification
[21:17] <searayman> PresuntoRJ: yea hardly any activity in ubuntu+1 think its alright to ask in here?
[21:17] <fisix> leg3nd, wait so what do i do now?
[21:17] <popey> drozdak: yes, but it's not as straightforward
[21:17] <erUSUL> hever: « cat /proc/mounts » should tell you if it is or not mounted
[21:17] <[TK]D-Fender> searayman: No
[21:17] <fisix> leg3nd, i'm at the openssl site and i downloaded the latest version from there
[21:17] <ayecee> amh345: perhaps you wanted to add -s before the ip address?
[21:17] <amh345> ayecee: it's not?
[21:18] <drozdak> popey you mean the option in update manager will no longer be there?
[21:18] <openbees> red2kic : i need this effect during closing window
[21:18] <leg3nd> fisix, try 'sudo apt-get build-dep openssl'  then try to compile it again.
[21:18] <searayman> [TK]D-Fender: who are you?
[21:18] <popey> drozdak: when releases expire, they are moved from archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com
[21:18] <popey> drozdak: which might make upgrades difficult
[21:18] <popey> drozdak: not impossible though! :D
[21:18] <searayman> hey all i just tried upgrading from ubuntu 10.10 to natty and its all messy as hell right now. When I first logged on there were hug black blotches everywere and I hav no unity bar nothing
[21:18] <Pici> searayman: #ubuntu+1 is the proper place for Natty questions at this time. #ubuntu is only for released versions of Ubuntu.
[21:18] <erUSUL> searayman: #ubuntu+1
[21:19] <PresuntoRJ> !ubuntu+1 | searayman
[21:19] <[TK]D-Fender> searayman: I'm a person who has seena  lot of people kicked for insisting they be supported for.... unsupported releases here
[21:19] <drozdak> popey: ok i get it :) but what possible difficulties will i have to face when doing update alter the end of the month?
[21:19] <amh345> ayecee: sudo iptables -I input -s IP_ADDRESS -j DROP still returns iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.
[21:20] <ayecee> amh345: input must be capitalized
[21:20] <mkanyicy> red2kic, what is the name of that terminal irc client is see on that link?
[21:20] <ayecee> amh345: chain names are case sensitive
[21:20] <red2kic> openbees: YouTube -- Find the one with closing fire that you are talking about.
[21:20] <red2kic> mkanyicy: irssi.
[21:20] <amh345> ayecee: that worked.thanks you
[21:20] <mkanyicy> red2kic, thanks!
[21:21] <mkanyicy> openbees, i cannot get the fire thing
[21:21] <Kosmenko> Hi all :)
[21:21] <ayecee> amh345: I didn't even notice that the first time around :)
[21:21] <fisix> leg3nd, same thing, it still asks me to install openssl
[21:21] <Pelo> yeah !! finaly free
[21:22] <red2kic> mkanyicy: weechat are other option too.

[21:23] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> hello is there a software that can create an image of a thumbdrive (not only used space, free space too) to disk? i tried ddrescue and ntfsclone but both fail because the pendrive gets randomly unmounted.
[21:23] <hever> erUSUL, /proc/mounts is empty
[21:24] <ayecee> asdfasdfasdfasdf: both of those programs would work fine with a properly functioning thumb drive.
[21:24] <Kosmenko> Anyone there that could give me a hand with something?
[21:24] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> ayecee, well that's why im trying to make an image of it :D
[21:24] <erUSUL> hever: when you do « sudo e2fsck -p /dev/sda1 » what error you get?
[21:24] <guntbert> !ask | Kosmenko
[21:24] <red2kic> I bet it's not a thumbdrive. Must be a huge thumbdrive.
[21:25] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> red2kic, ? nah 2 gb
[21:25] <ayecee> asdfasdfasdfasdf: there's not really an automated way to do that, you'll pretty much have to copy a piece at a time with dd.
[21:25] <red2kic> asdfasdfasdfasdf: Recover the files. Don't go for empty spaces. That's moot.
[21:25] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> moot?
[21:25] <amh345> is there a command to get current server time?
[21:25] <ayecee> moot is irrelevant
[21:25] <ZykoticK9> asdfasdfasdfasdf, moot=not important
[21:25] <maco> amh345: date
[21:25] <red2kic> Pointless. If it's just 2GB, surely you can recover files when it's available.
[21:25] <amh345> doh. i was using Time
[21:26] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> ZykoticK9, thanks
[21:26] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> red2kic, well i was thinking about running a reover files app later on the image of the thubdrive in my HD, to try to recover anything that may have got lost.
[21:26] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> recover*
[21:27] <Kosmenko> I'd been meaning to install ubuntu on my new desktop for quite a while now, and I just finished doing so because my Win7 has crashed. It's been giving me the iastor.sys error, and I've managed to locate the file location, but am unable to find a replacement .sys file to get it up and running again. Is there any way I can find a working one? If not, I need a little help working around in ubuntu, I've never really had a chance to use it mysel
[21:27] <Kosmenko> f.
[21:27] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> ayecee, okay ill go file by file then, meh its only 2gb anyways ^^
[21:27] <Kosmenko> :x
[21:27] <red2kic> asdfasdfasdfasdf: ^_^
[21:28] <david5345> So my sis-in-law is making the switch to Ubuntu ASAP ( hooray! ). Can the Wubi installer erase Windows XP entirely and replace it with Ubuntu's three partitions ? ( Home, / and swap )
[21:28] <ZykoticK9> david5345, no - Wubi relies on Windows.
[21:29] <red2kic> Kosmenko: iastor.sys?  Is this a Window thing?
[21:29] <ZykoticK9> red2kic, yes, iastor.sys is a windows thing.
[21:29] <rokr> siema
[21:29] <PresuntoRJ> Kosmenko: try looking for the sys in another win7 machine, and copy to your... in the mean time, what do you need to start using ubuntu?
[21:30] <drozdak> hi there rokr
[21:30] <rokr> help
[21:30] <david5345> So the only way to get a full install is to wipe the hard disk clean from a Installer CD ?
[21:30] <PresuntoRJ> Kosmenko: is it already installed?
[21:30] <rokr> hard disk
[21:30] <david5345> Too bad the debootstrap and chroot commands don't work in Windows, sigh :(
[21:30] <ubuntu_> hi
[21:30] <Kosmenko> Unfortunately. Alot of my files on there I'd like to get back, and I've installed mount manager aswell to pull the important ones, but some programs I use are windows only.
[21:30] <Kosmenko> Yes it's installed, but I have no idea how to work it at all =\
[21:30] <PresuntoRJ> !details | rokr
[21:31] <rokr> my version ubuntu 10.10
[21:32] <craigbass1976> Ok, I'm numbing it.  What's the package I'm lookin gfor on a new server?  I thought openssh-server was the ssh server, but there's "no install candidate" or some such.  same for ssh-server or just ssh.
[21:32] <PresuntoRJ> Kosmenko: it happens to me too (right now, CAD and a guitar modulation software are killing me)... from ubuntu you CAN access every Windows file, since its able to mount the NTFS partition
[21:32] <red2kic> craigbass1976: "apt-cache search ssh"
[21:32] <Kosmenko> Yeah I know it can do that, but can it runt he programs I need?
[21:32] <meganerd> craigbass1976: try running "sudo apt-get update" first
[21:32] <EmuAlert> What does it mean if the software manager has some things unchecked, but I can't check them?
[21:32] <Richard|> hey, i've installed ubuntu using Wubi, and i'm wondering if there's anyway to skip the grub menu after the windows boot manager menu
[21:32] <Richard|> just to speed things up a bit
[21:32] <PresuntoRJ> Kosmenko: just try not to erase the whole disk when installing Ubuntu, and the data will be there for you (documents, music, etc)
[21:32] <thevishy> is 11.04 ready
[21:32] <Richard|> atm i have to click Ubuntu on the windows boot menu
[21:33] <Richard|> then ubuntu again on the grub menu
[21:33] <red2kic> Richard|: Sure. I'm guessing you're using grub2.
[21:33] <xangua> thevishy: no
[21:33] <red2kic> !grub2 | Richard|
[21:33] <meganerd> Kosmenko: wine might be able to run some programs, but I would not bet on it running them all
[21:33] <thevishy> okie
[21:33] <Richard|> if that's what comes in the latest Wubi, yes
[21:33] <PresuntoRJ> Kosmenko: what exactaly do you need to run, maybe (probably) the is a replacement in ubuntu, or it could also work via Wine
[21:33] <thevishy> Windows boot menu ? !
[21:33] <craigbass1976> meganerd, I knew I was numbing it.  Thanks
[21:34] <erUSUL> !appdb | Kosmenko
[21:34] <red2kic> ubottu: Stop slacking on my queries. :(
[21:34] <red2kic> !grub2 | Richard|
[21:34] <meganerd> craigbass1976: np
[21:34] <craigbass1976> meganerd, why wouldn't ssh be installed by default on a lucid server install?
[21:34] <erUSUL> Richard|: configure grub to not show the menu and to have a very short or not timeout
[21:34] <erUSUL> !grub2 | Richard|
[21:34] <meganerd> craigbass1976: no idea, did you not select it at the tasksel menu?
[21:34] <Kosmenko> I have no idea how to use Wine, but I'd like to run WoW, Combat Arms, a few music programs for instruments and a few others i can't think of off hand.
[21:34] <red2kic> Why is ubottu ignoring me? );
[21:34] <Richard|> i can do this within the grub menu?
[21:34] <mrdeb> ubottu: it's GRUB 1.98, not GRUB2
[21:35] <meganerd> Kosmenko: I would not hold out for most of those apps working
[21:35] <craigbass1976> meganerd, I thought so, but I had my gateway wrong, so maybe it didn't grab it.  I thought all of the packages were right on the install cd though.
[21:35] <amh345> do i need to restart for my ip tables to take effect?
[21:35] <Kosmenko> I figured.
[21:35] <meganerd> craigbass1976: I never really looked.
[21:35] <EmuAlert> Is there any way to have the computer prompt you for your password before fully loading the OS?
[21:35] <meganerd> craigbass1976: bandwidth is pretty reliable here :)
[21:35] <Kosmenko> I only really need a new windows 7 iastor.sys file, and it SHOULD work in theory
[21:35] <ZykoticK9> mrdeb, grub 1.98 is actually grub 2
[21:35] <erUSUL> EmuAlert: iirc you can set up a password in grub
[21:36] <ZykoticK9> mrdeb, grub 0.X is actually grub 1

[21:37] <ayrton> hey i got ubuntu 10.10 and an iphone 3gs version 4.2.1 can i jail break it with ubuntu?
[21:37] <Kosmenko> Just being curious, but what is the prime use for Linux/Ubuntu?
[21:38] <thevishy> its an os

[21:38] <nacol> hi all, how do i install and use aircrack-ng
[21:38] <ubuntu_> what?
[21:38] <rakshasa> Can anyone tell me how I can persist my xinput setting under Ubuntu 10.10?
[21:38] <antoni> hi. is there an ubuntu rescue remix support channel?
[21:39] <craigbass1976> Kosmenko, it's generally for people looking for an alternative to windows or Mac.  I'm sick of one and couldn't afford the other when I made the switch.;
[21:39] <erUSUL> Kosmenko: same as any other OS
[21:39] <thevishy> I like Ubuntu over windows , thats my preference
[21:39] <ayrton> i hated viruses thats why i switch, plus windows runs slower and slows down over tim
[21:39] <ayrton> time
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> I choose OS based on needs

[21:40] <Kosmenko> Hm, I've always just heard it was a big user base for developers and programmers.
[21:40] <nacol> hi all, how do i install and use aircrack-ng
[21:40] <meera> i use only ubuntu thats good
[21:40] <spreadneck> need help with this error please: [http://paste.ubuntu.com/589878/]
[21:40] <thevishy> yes slower too ... Yes Kosmenko one of *nix OS is good for programming generally
[21:41] <thevishy> Linux is a popular system which supports a lot of hardware and has good suport from user community
[21:41] <red2kic> Kosmenko: Great for linux beginners and those who want to convert to linux.
[21:41] <ayrton> anyways... any ever jailbreak on ubuntu?
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> There is also BSD
[21:41] <ayrton> mint is "imo" the best linux os to start with
[21:41] <Pici> !offtopic
[21:41] <guntbert> please take distro comparison elswhere

[21:42] <miles> I log on, and the WHOLE folder is on the desktop.
[21:42] <meganerd> Kosmenko: I use Linux as my desktop OS, I use it on my audio workstation (24 simultaneous tracks), I use it for servers at work, and a router and file server at home.  It really does what you want it to, with the exception of gaming.  Still weak there
[21:42] <coz_>  good day to all
[21:42] <rakshasa> Can anyone tell me how I can persist my xinput setting under Ubuntu 10.10?

[21:45] <fizyplankton> if i have 2 identical ubuntu installs on the same computer, how can i differentiate between them on the GRUB menu?
[21:45] <erUSUL> miles: check ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs
[21:45] <miles> erusul: i must of installed it wrong and wasn't looking right. last time i install a game at 1 in the morning
[21:45] <erUSUL> miles: with a text editor
[21:45] <spreadneck> so change servers?
[21:45] <shane4ubuntu> ActionParsnip: it used to be in the repos though right?  was it removed?
[21:45] <tote> que hablas en ingles
[21:45] <thevishy> !adobe
[21:45] <PresuntoRJ> meganerd: I have the Line6, it runs on my Windows and my Mac, but no pinguin

[21:45] <ZykoticK9> shane4ubuntu, if you add the partner repo you'll find acroread

[21:45] <tjiggi_fo> !es | tote
[21:45] <erUSUL> miles: what is the value of XDG_DESKTOP_DIR= ?
[21:45] <shane4ubuntu> ZykoticK9: I think I have that enabled, ok, thanks
[21:45] <shane4ubuntu> ActionParsnip: ok, thanks
[21:46] <thevishy> you can download and install adobe reader basically from its site also
[21:46] <fizyplankton> if i have 2 identical ubuntu installs on the same computer, how can i differentiate between them on the GRUB menu?
[21:46] <xangua> !partner | thevishy with software centre
[21:46] <thevishy> fizyplankton, you can keep a fancy name and also always the parition name is different
[21:46] <miles> erusul, gimmie a sec i'm trying to find it.
[21:47] <erUSUL> miles: run in a terminal « gedit ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs »
[21:47] <Kosmenko> Is there any p2p programs for Ubuntu? Dell either "forgot" or doesn't send windows disks with the new towers now. I may try and find an .iso and burn it to a disk for a fresh install, and just save the important files in Ubuntu.
[21:47] <Lcawte> tjiggi_fo: well, when it comes to ubuntu, they are killing off shipit, so that rules that option out ^.^
[21:47] <thevishy> Ubuntu on /dev/sda1 and Ubunt on /dev/sda2 is different
[21:47] <thevishy> what p2p ? torrent ?
[21:47] <ActionParsnip> Kosmenko: I suggest you contact your provider
[21:47] <py_> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/rS4wiRGq
[21:47] <Lcawte> And, I'm not a real fan of selling on eBay
[21:47] <LjL> Kosmenko: sure, there are a lot
[21:47] <miles> XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
[21:48] <miles> erusul: XDG_DESKTOP_DIR="$HOME/Desktop"
[21:48] <spreadneck> erUSUL: would changing servers fix this?
[21:48] <red2kic> Kosmenko: Contact your provider or check your hard drive. Some manufactuerers have hard drive recovery partition.
[21:48] <thevishy> you mostly get almost all you want for general use in ubuntu
[21:48] <Kosmenko> As Dell says "it is a software issue, not a hardware issue, your warrenty doesn't cover this"
[21:48] <erUSUL> miles: so it is ok;
[21:48] <fizyplankton> thevishy: alright. i need to reinstall ubuntu because the video drivers have just gone to hell. there are fragments of video drivers all conflicting with eachother. unless anyone knows how to nuke every video driver related thing back to factory defaults, ill just have to reinstall ubuntu
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> py_: natty isn't supported here. It is supported ONLY in #ubuntu+1 until release day
[21:48] <Kosmenko> Without the raid control driver, the factory restore doesn't work, either. I've tried,
[21:48] <ActionParsnip> py_: the link you need is: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=168d06d9804c518a198ae79bc1ba46fea1159c61
[21:48] <meganerd> PresuntoRJ: I am guessing that you saw this? http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-a-line6-guitarport-or-toneport-ux1-or-gx.html
[21:48] <Jayro> hello, could anyone help me get sound working on Ubuntu 10.10 server edition. I am using mp3blaster but when i try to play a song i get "failed to open sound device"
[21:49] <PresuntoRJ> meganerd: I could get it to playback (output) but the MIC and GUITAR inputs were at the very least very very bad indeed... there is a open driver for their hardware, but not quite good yet, and they say they have not an ounce of interest in Linux "because it would be dificult to mantain" (read - they don't want to open their code to the kernel)
[21:49] <erUSUL> miles: then i dunno what went wrong.
[21:49] <tjiggi_fo> Lcawte, as long as you provide the source code, or a link where it's available, and the license, then it is legal to sell it. But this is off-topic so if you want to discuss it join #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:49] <thevishy> Right you can backup your main data ...go for a fresh install in your current partition .....
[21:49] <soreau> Jayro: Does any other audio work?
[21:49] <miles> I'm just not sure where to put the folder back. erUSUL
[21:49] <py_> ActionParsnip: okey one sec
[21:49] <Jayro> soreau, i do not know, thats the only player i have on it
[21:49] <thevishy> there is no need to have a non working ubuntu .. I think you have alternate OS also just in case you mess up like Windows
[21:49] <ActionParsnip> py_: ask in #ubuntu+1  when natty is released your support will be here
[21:49] <erUSUL> miles: neither do i sorry. try tro move it to your home folder
[21:50] <hobbel> how to check a fat filesystem? fsck doesnt let me and I have a corrupt USB
[21:50] <soreau> Jayro: Try sys>prefs>movie player
[21:50] <Lcawte> tjiggi_fo: meh, thats all I wanted to know, I was only considering it anyway, I thought it'd be on topic due to it being Ubuntu and its licensing...
[21:50] <py_> ActionParsnip: thank you, same problem was on 10.10
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> !sound | Jayro
[21:50] <erUSUL> hobbel: fsck.vfat ?
[21:50] <fizyplankton> thevishy: i already have a dual booted machibe with lucid and xp
[21:50] <soreau> Jayro: Err, apps>sound and video>movie plyer
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> py_: your release is currently natty, thats what matters
[21:50] <PresuntoRJ> meganerd: I also have tried to use a low latency kernel, like the UbuntuStudio one... very creepy...
[21:50] <miles> erUSUL: thanks for your help though. il see if i can get some friends to team viewer me if they can help.
[21:50] <Jayro> soreau, ActionParsnip, i have server edition so i am limited to command line.
[21:50] <thevishy> then I think you can just fresh install Ubuntu on the existing partition of Ubuntu ... in the end a new grub will b e created for you ...so nothing to worry
[21:50] <py_> ActionParsnip: is there any way to downgrade?
[21:50] <PresuntoRJ> meganerd: I think I have to keep my penguins toneless for now
[21:50] <hobbel> erUSUL "logical sector size is zero"
[21:50] <fizyplankton> thevishy: and also, i have 500 gigs of unpartitioned space. so no worries there
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> Jayro: do you have the alsa packages installed?
[21:51] <soreau> Jayro: In that case, run alsamixer and user m to (un)mute tracks, arrow keys to navigate
[21:51] <meganerd> PresuntoRJ: I know the song and dance.  RME has products that rock (like my 9652) under linux and some that don't work at all.  You get very different messages sometimes from the same company
[21:51] <py_> ActionParsnip: or is it better clean install?
[21:51] <thevishy> fizyplankton, my personal choice would be to install on the same partition
[21:51] <erUSUL> hobbel: corrupt partition table? try testdisk on it
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> py_: i always clean install
[21:51] <soreau> Jayro: But you might try the server channel

[21:51] <meganerd> PresuntoRJ: Low latency kernels can cause issues with nvidia and fglrx drivers
[21:51] <Jayro> ActionParsnip, soreau alsa is installed but it refuses to open alsamixer, says it dosnt exist
[21:51] <py_> ActionParsnip: ok thank you tomorrow i/ll install clean and see what happens.
[21:52] <hobbel> erUSUL you mean check filesystem? It returns filesystem not clean, so there is def. something wrong. Its mounted read only
[21:52] <py_> ActionParsnip: may i contact u tomorrow?
[21:52] <PresuntoRJ> py_:  and I never had a problem with upgrades
[21:52] <thevishy> fizyplankton, like my /dev/sda5 is the Linux , I chcked with df now ....so when I install ubuntu I mention to use this partition to install ubuntu
[21:52] <soreau> Jayro: You have to install alsa-utils
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> Jayro: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh ; ./alsa-info.sh
[21:52] <meganerd> PresuntoRJ: I am a fan of the low latency kernels (I usually build my own, no real need to do so anymore, it is more of a lifestyle choice)
[21:52] <thevishy> no creating other drives etc , that just keeps a non working partition in my machine which I dont like
[21:52] <fizyplankton> thevishy: so would mine, but i remember it took alot of work to get my wifi working, so i want to be able to have an internet connection without having to resort to about 30 ethernet extension cables. all i remember about my wifi drivers is something with "ndiswrapper"
[21:52] <erUSUL> hobbel: testdisk is a tool to recover messed up partition tables
[21:52] <Jayro> soreau, i have alsa-utils installed
[21:53] <soreau> Jayro: Then alsamixer should exist
[21:53] <ActionParsnip> py_: if i'm on. If you clean install natty then your support is in #ubuntu+1 :)
[21:53] <thevishy> wifi cards having problems ? is it a new computer ?
[21:53] <erUSUL> hobbel: or if oyu can backup the date in the usb and create a brand new partition table and filesystem
[21:53] <Jayro> soreau, but it does not -_-
[21:53] <thevishy> Most wifi things work out of the box ...thats been my experience
[21:53] <soreau> Jayro: What does which alsamiser say?
[21:53] <fizyplankton> its an oldish card,. its a linksys card. cant remember the model number
[21:53] <fizyplankton> its a linksys wusb300n
[21:54] <Jayro> soreau, cannot open alsamixer: No such file or directory
[21:54] <soreau> Jayro: 'which alsamixer'
[21:54] <hobbel> erUSUL i guess thats what I want :)
[21:54] <thevishy> right , on board right ? are you sure it didnt work out of the box?
[21:54] <fili> question: Ubuntu 11.04 beta - is there any way to minimise stuff like evolution / emphaty to the main top panel instead of the unity panel on the left?
[21:54] <py_> ActionParsnip: okey thanks :)
[21:54] <PresuntoRJ> !audio
[21:54] <Pici> fili : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Natty/11.04 support/discussion.
[21:54] <erUSUL> hobbel: s/oyu/you/ and s/date/data/
[21:55] <fizyplankton> thevishy: no. its a usb card. ubuntu wouldnt even see it with the fresh install. i managed to download some ndiswrapper doohickey to get it working. but it works now tho
[21:55] <soreau> Jayro: Which version of ubuntu are you using?
[21:55] <Jayro> soreau, /usr/bin/alsamixer
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> fili: support isn't here til release day, natty support is in #ubuntu+1
[21:55] <fili> thanks
[21:55] <hobbel> erUSUL ; Warning: the current number of heads per cylinder is 245 it should be 255
[21:55] <Jayro> soreau, i had to sudo it....
[21:55] <Jayro> fuck sudo i hate it
[21:55] <soreau> Jayro: So it does exist. Try running with the full path '/usr/bin/alsamixer'
[21:55] <meganerd> PresuntoRJ: I have one of these for my laptop:  http://www.vantecusa.com/en/product/view_detail/439
[21:55] <thevishy> Right try to find the solution for the wifi thing and then go for a fresh install .... you would need to do it anyway
[21:55] <soreau> Jayro: No, don't use sudo for user apps
[21:55] <folorn> heh
[21:55] <PresuntoRJ> !ubuntu+1 | fili
[21:55] <fizyplankton> the page might be in my history. this ubuntu install is no more than a month old.
[21:55] <soreau> Jayro: You can mess up your permissions
[21:56] <mickster04> !ohmy | Jayro
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> Jayro: can you run the command I gave and give the URL generated here
[21:56] <Jayro> soreau, all my volumes are up.
[21:56] <soreau> Jayro: Don't run it with sudo
[21:56] <thevishy> Anyone here ...who knows why Ubuntu doesnt support something like wusb300n linksys network adapter out of the box ?
[21:56] <PresuntoRJ> meganerd: hypercool
[21:57] <thevishy> my USB EVDO modem is detected out of the box ...no settings required
[21:57] <soreau> Jayro: Try running '/usr/bin/alsamixer' as your normal user
[21:57] <Jayro> soreau, alsamixer wont open if i dont sudo
[21:57] <Jayro> ok
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> thevishy: seems to need ndiswrapper
[21:57] <Jayro> soreau, same error
[21:57] <thevishy> fizyplankton, is that a 4g connection or something
[21:57] <soreau> Jayro: Can you show the exact error message?
[21:57] <Jayro> cannot open alsamixer: No such file or directory
[21:58] <Jayro> soreau, ^
[21:58] <craigbass1976> I'm trying to chroot bind9, and get this error when trying to start it.  I've already shut apparmor off for the moment: [ 1727.107571] type=1503 audit(1302037027.028:13):  operation="open" pid=1763 parent=1761 profile="/usr/sbin/named" requested_mask="r::" denied_mask="r::" fsuid=103 ouid=103 name="/var/lib/named/etc/bind/named.conf"
[21:58] <fizyplankton> its just a wireless network connecttion. it works now. i just had to use ethernet to get this ndiswrapper driver thingy. im looking in my history to see if i cant find the website
[21:58] <sveinse> Where does sudo get its PATH setting from?
[21:58] <ZykoticK9> soreau, ActionParsnip regarding Jayro issue - it may be that the server version doesn't add users to the audio (or other) required group(s)???
[21:58] <soreau> Jayro: Seems like you have bigger problems than just audio then
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> ZykoticK9: was thinking that
[21:58] <Jayro> soreau, blarrg
[21:59] <soreau> ZykoticK9: Very possible
[21:59] <erUSUL> sveinse: sudo does not need the path afaik. the shell needs
[21:59] <ActionParsnip> Jayro: if you run:   groups      do you see:   $USER adm dialout cdrom plugdev netdev lpadmin admin sambashare
[21:59] <sveinse> erUSUL: Yes, but the PATH is set to some default when the command is run as root, and I need to add something to it
[22:00] <antoni> i have erroneously erased an usb hd via usb-creator. a few partitions are now one fat32 partition. afaik, no data was lost apart from that. unfortunately, testdisk doesn't find any of erased partitions. any ideas?
[22:00] <ActionParsnip> sveinse: you can add folders to the PATH by adding:    export PATH=$PATH:/new/folder     to ~/.bashrc
[22:01] <Jayro> ActionParsnip, i see..  jarred adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin sambashare admin
[22:01] <sveinse> ActionParsnip: To root's .bashrc then I would presume
[22:01] <sveinse> ...but sudo isn't running sh afaik
[22:01] <lucid_j> Is there any way to extract self-extracting .exe files?
[22:01] <erUSUL> sveinse: /etc/environment , /etc/profile* , root's ~/.profile ...?
[22:01] <lucid_j> I am not using wine
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> sveinse: if you use sudo then your paths will be used
[22:02] <aeon-ltd> lucid_j: hmm iirc there was something like cabextract that could do that
[22:02] <Kosmenko> Is there a way to install a windows program to the windows partition in Ubuntu?
[22:02] <Kosmenko> Such as a updated driver?
[22:02] <soreau> Kosmenko: no
[22:02] <Kosmenko> Ick ><
[22:02] <lucid_j> aeon-ltd: I'll try it!
[22:03] <soreau> Kosmenko: At least, we don't support installing other software to other operating systems while using ubuntu here
[22:03] <erUSUL> antoni: try gpart ( do not confuse it with gparted )
[22:03] <aeon-ltd> Kosmenko: heh possible but not at the same time, would you really like to edit menu configs move shortcuts, dlls, config files to the right place just to emulate that then enter registry entries and ensure nothing is corrupted?
[22:03] <soreau> Kosmenko: Unless it's linux, in which case you just chroot in and do whatever
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> Kosmenko: you can move ~/.wine to the ntfs partition then symlink it to ~/.wine, the actual storage will be in the ntfs but the OS will think it is in your home. It will then use the space in the ntfs for your windows apps (assuming you have write access to your ntfs partition)
[22:04] <Kosmenko> I need to run an update on drivers for the raid control driver, otherwise my Win7 OS is pooched for gaming.
[22:04] <weirdpercent> somehow whenever I open a terminal program, it defaults to ~/scripts/compiz, not ~. Both gnome-terminal and terminator do the same thing. what would cause this?
[22:04] <antoni> erUSUL: thanks, tried - also the "guess" was wrong... confusing, photorec easily recovers files from "lost" partitions, but in my case it's rather not helpful (i have a full ubuntu install there)
[22:04] <ubuntu_> h
[22:05] <erUSUL> weirdpercent: you have set your home to that in one of the rc scripts??
[22:05] <erUSUL> weirdpercent: what does « echo $HOME » say ?
[22:05] <red2kic> weirdpercent: Take a peek in ~/.bashrc
[22:05] <tdcompaq> synaptic package manager quit on me ... gives this message: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[22:05] <tdcompaq> E: _cache->open() failed, please report.
[22:05] <Kosmenko> More specifically, I need ONE file from that update to move into the correct place, if there's a way to extract that from the updater file, that would also work, I can just use Mount Manager to mount the partition and go in through /root
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> weirdpercent: at the bottom of ~/.bashrc    add:   cd ~/
[22:05] <tdcompaq> what do I do?
[22:06] <Ray2> To burn iso with k3b ...using image burn and sao writing at 4x ...when verifying I get read error sector 86806...where is the problem???
[22:06] <asdfasdfasdfasdf> hello i'm trying to recover data from a 2gb thumbdrive using ddrescue i ran it once with the log feature on and it managed to recover most of the data, but it ended with an error. Then i ran the same command so it would start from where it left and saved some more data but i'm stuck in the "splitting failed blocks..." part, it only has 2097 kb of data that can't access. what can i do?
[22:06] <weirdpercent> erUSUL, $HOME is /home/doug
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> tdcompaq: did you run the suggested command?
[22:06] <erUSUL> tdcompaq: do what the error tells you to do. run « 'sudo dpkg  --configure -a'
[22:06] <red2kic> weirdpercent: Paste the ~/.bashrc
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> Ray2: did you MD5 test the ISO?
[22:06] <tdcompaq> doesn't seem to work
[22:07] <erUSUL> weirdpercent: do what red2kic says
[22:07] <Ray2> ActionParsnip, yes and numbers are the same
[22:07] <red2kic> !paste | weirdpercent
[22:07] <ActionParsnip> tdcompaq: can you paste the output of the command. Use pastebin to hold the text
[22:07] <tdcompaq> standby
[22:07] <lucid_j> aeon-ltd: cabextract doesn't work.. Any other suggestion?
[22:08] <ActionParsnip> Ray2: do other burners work ok?
[22:08] <Rayann> can someone walk me through configuring my laptop's wireless? It works fine if I plug in an external wireless card, but I can't get the internal card working.
[22:08] <aeon-ltd> lucid_j: none i know of, try other linux related channels to ask in
[22:08] <erUSUL> Rayann: what chip does the wifi uses?
[22:09] <Rayann> chip?
[22:09] <erUSUL> Rayann: lspci | grep -i net
[22:09] <Ray2> ActionParsnip, Tried brasero and have the same problem
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> Rayann: if you run:  sudo lshw -C network    you will see the wireless chip and you can websearch for guides using the product line
[22:09] <erUSUL> Rayann: in a terminal
[22:09] <weirdpercent> fixed it by pasting cd ~ into my .zshrc
[22:09] <weirdpercent> silly nonsense :_
[22:09] <weirdpercent> :)
[22:09] <ActionParsnip> Ray2: try gnomebaker    I've never had a good burn with brasero personally
[22:09] <Kosmenko> Also, I need some help in Ubuntu in regards to my graphic card.  I am not using wine..
[22:09] <viewer> im trying to use a regexp to match literal(any number of any characters)literal and i thought that was literal*literal, is that wrong?
[22:09] <red2kic> weirdpercent: "cd" alone will do it too. :)
[22:10] <Ray2> ActionParsnip, Okay thanks for the info
[22:10] <weirdpercent> red2kic, thanks
[22:10] <erUSUL> viewer: yes is wrong
[22:10] <erUSUL> viewer: literal.literal
[22:10] <ZykoticK9> lucid_j, try opening the exe with file-roller.  or use wine...
[22:10] <moonunitzappa> is this still the right C++ complier?
[22:10] <moonunitzappa> sudo aptitude install build-essential
[22:10] <erUSUL> moonunitzappa: yes
[22:10] <moonunitzappa> i need anyone that works
[22:10] <moonunitzappa> ok ty erusul
[22:10] <Pici> viewer, erUSUL: no: literal.*literal
[22:10] <meganerd> lucid_j: you might try 7zip
[22:11] <erUSUL> Pici: ah; any number :)
[22:11] <ActionParsnip> lucid_j: or unp   you may need to get wine installed
[22:12] <lucid_j> ActionParsnip: I am not using wine..
[22:12] <moonunitzappa> The program 'aptitude' can be found in the following packages:
[22:12] <moonunitzappa>  * aptitude
[22:12] <moonunitzappa>  * aptitude-gtk
[22:12] <moonunitzappa> what one should i download?
[22:12] <moonunitzappa> install*
[22:12] <FloodBot1> moonunitzappa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:12] <viewer> interesting, the find command must not use true regexp in its -name parameter, because ive been using * as the wildcard for ages, thats what had me confused
[22:12] <erUSUL> viewer: find uses globs in -name
[22:12] <ZykoticK9> moonunitzappa, aptitude is the cli version while gtk is GUI
[22:12] <erUSUL> viewer: gnu find has -regex if you want to use a regex
[22:12] <Pici> viewer: Theres a separate argument for doing regex matching.
[22:12] <red2kic> lucid_j: "file whatever.exe"
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> moonunitzappa: whichever you desire, aptitude-gtk will just give a gnome frontend to aptitude
[22:12] <marduuk>  i have a U10.10 vps and am trying to start kde remotely via xrdp
[22:13] <ubuntu_> ive downloaded air-crack how to use it?
[22:13] <viewer> erUSUL, Pici, i see, thanks both! (;
[22:13] <moonunitzappa> can i use both?    ive been learning thru term. how is the gui any diffrent?
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu_: the guys in the backtrack channel will know
[22:13] <moonunitzappa> ubuntu_ theres also tons of youtube videos that help alot
[22:14] <red2kic> moonunitzappa: Silly rabbit, GUI are for the lazy kids!
[22:14] <aziz1> Hello every body
[22:14] <ubuntu_> i know that...but try only  the comand
[22:14] <erUSUL> but it has buttons to click ;P
[22:14] <tdcompaq> alas, seems to be working now ActionParsnip
[22:14] <aziz1> i m new here
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> tdcompaq: what was the magic bullet?
[22:15] <drmorphias> aziz1, welcome :-)
[22:15] <ubuntu_> i havebt  in menu this app only on shell
[22:15] <tdcompaq> got me, didn't work last time I tried
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> moonunitzappa: install both and you can use either, just no at exactly the same time (due to package lock)
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> tdcompaq: ha, oh well glad its all nice :)
[22:15] <marduuk>  can anyone help?
[22:15] <moonunitzappa> ok thanks actionparsnip
[22:15] <stimpie> I have a hard disk password protected on my lenovo notebook, now my notebook has crashed and I try to boot with the hard drive (not as boot device) in my desktop. This results in lots of ata errors, any clues?
[22:15] <tdcompaq> ActionParsnip: when things go gray, what's happening?
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> tdcompaq: thats compiz telling you apps are hung. I thought you said you had server?
[22:16] <ubuntu_> thank again..
[22:16] <tdcompaq> ActionParsnip: no, wasn't me
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> tdcompaq: ahh, crossed wires then. nevermind :D
[22:17] <tdcompaq> ActionParsnip: Is there a way to manage that so it doesn't bog everything down?
[22:17] <NecrocyberDark> somebody here already get install SqlServer 2005 on Ubuntu?
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> !sql
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> !mysql
[22:18] <wthpr0> is there anyway to remove all files from a program with aptitude (apt-get) ?
[22:18] <erUSUL> NecrocyberDark: SqlServer 2005 is a windows program. install a linux database server. there are dozens
[22:18] <erUSUL> wthpr0: aptitude purge
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> wthpr0: sudo apt-get --purge remove packagename
[22:19] <wthpr0> or is it posebale to remove the record of the packade ever been installed
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> wthpr0: if the package is already removed you can run:  sudo dpkg -P packagename
[22:19] <wthpr0> erUSUL, ActionParsnip: no none of those work
[22:19] <NecrocyberDark> Yep i know but i think maybe is possible install sqlserver on ubuntu
[22:19] <tdcompaq> ActionParsnip: What do I need to do to activate wireless on my laptop?
[22:19] <erUSUL> wthpr0: if you do not explain what the problem is ...
[22:19] <erUSUL> wthpr0: purge wont touch files in your home foolder that app may have created
[22:19] <FunnyLookinHat> Does IPTables have all of it's rules saved in a specific file that I can edit ??
[22:19] <erUSUL> wthpr0: jfyi
[22:20] <jrib> FunnyLookinHat: no
[22:20] <jrib> !iptables > FunnyLookinHat
[22:20] <wthpr0> erUSUL: i messed up my apache2 folder /etc/apach2 so i want aptitude to put in the defult once again
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> wthpr0: if you run: dpkg -l | grep packagename   and see rc in the left colomn, you can dpkg -P then name and clean up the residual files
[22:20] <erUSUL> wthpr0: purge and reinstall apache2-common
[22:20] <NecrocyberDark> Indeed i have some questions not about sql but how the UDL work on linux
[22:20] <erUSUL> NecrocyberDark: what is UDL?
[22:21] <antoni> i have erroneously erased an usb hd via usb-creator. a few partitions are now one fat32 partition. afaik, no data was lost apart from that. unfortunately, testdisk doesn't find any of erased partitions. any ideas? gpart didn't help...
[22:21] <NecrocyberDark> the point is "how to use UDL's on Linux"
[22:22] <miles> Can anyone help me move a torrent file, i'm not sure where to put it.
[22:22] <cheryl> Hi Brains' I installed ubuntu's restricted extra's using Ubuntu Software Centre, but I'm still getting an error saying flash isn't installed! :(
