[00:00] <mongy> bfrazier_,  cd the folder containing the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders.  then mkisofs -dvd-video -o ~/test.iso .
[00:00] <arrrghhh> bfrazier_: why did you do that...?
[00:00] <bfrazier_> mongy, arrrghhh ...here's the website I used: http://www.ehow.com/how_5772256_convert-avi-dvd-linux.html#ixzz1hX3r1jWk
[00:00] <mongy> bfrazier_, one word.  devede
[00:00] <sebashtian> ehow is horrible
[00:00] <bfrazier_> mongy, ...I used devede but it keeps saying my device isn't mounted
[00:01] <theSlow1> Hey every, I installed Ubuntu and accidentally broke grub by formatting the drive where grub was installed
[00:01] <arrrghhh> bfrazier_: wow.  ehow is awful.
[00:01] <bfrazier_> arrrghhh, ....I thought that was useful
[00:01] <sebashtian> theSlow1 try using supergrubdisk
[00:01] <arrrghhh> bfrazier_: complex guides like that require you to understand what each command is doing.  it's awful they try to condense it into that, as if it will work for everyone.
[00:02] <mongy> bfrazier_, I thought you wanted to make a dvd from an avi... which is what devede can do
[00:02] <theSlow1> sebashtian, I would much rather avoid that, I used it some time back and it was useless
[00:02] <bfrazier_> arrrghhh, ...well I understand a lot but the devil is in the details
[00:02] <NeedHelp> Hello, anyone know Netbeans?
[00:02] <arrrghhh> bfrazier_: devede is great, i would try it.
[00:02] <arrrghhh> NeedHelp: this is for ubuntu help.  not sure what channel to even direct you to.
[00:02] <bfrazier_> arrrghhh, ...well I have tried deveede
[00:02] <paulsomebody> metaspike: Hey, I have recovered my 'sudoers'. :) Though you should know.
[00:02] <sebashtian> NeedHelp yes why
[00:03] <NeedHelp> arrrghhh: I use netbeans for ubuntu...
[00:03] <arrrghhh> bfrazier_: how did it fail?
[00:03] <arrrghhh> NeedHelp: o?  sorry.
[00:03] <arrrghhh> i use gcc and... a text editor.
[00:03] <NeedHelp> sebashtian: alt-gr button doesnt work anymore suddenly, so I cant type characters like $, {, } etc. They work fine here as you see
[00:04] <bfrazier_> arrrghhh, deveede results in "conversion failed it seems a bug of mencoder"....
[00:04] <arrrghhh> bfrazier_: hum. honestly linux has always been weak in this department.
[00:04] <arrrghhh> bfrazier_: not that it's impossible, just not "simple".
[00:05] <Arcademan> Hiz, Is there a way to make pidgen hidden on close every time rather than quitting it?
[00:05] <yabai> arrrghhh: really?
[00:05] <bfrazier_> arrrghhh, yup, I'm beginning to realize that
[00:05] <sebashtian> so they only don't work in netbeans NeedHelp
[00:05] <arrrghhh> yabai: yes, realy.
[00:05] <arrrghhh> really*
[00:05] <yabai> arrrghhh: it has very little to do with linux - more to do with proprietary systems
[00:05] <mongy> bfrazier_, I use devede quite regularly to put 3 or 4 avi to a dvd.
[00:05] <NeedHelp> sebashtian: yes, if I press AltGr+4, I should get a dollar sign like $, but in NetBeans, 4 appears
[00:06] <arrrghhh> yabai: ok... so linux doesn't work well with proprietary systems?  does that make you feel better?
[00:06] <sebashtian> NeedHelp by "altg" od you mean shift?
[00:06] <bfrazier_> mongy, ...do you want me to remove devede and compile from source...I'm at a loss with that error message
[00:06] <Arcademan> Hiz, Is there a way to make pidgen hidden on close every time rather than quitting it guys?
[00:07] <Kiten> sebashtian, alt is sometimes referred to as alt-gr
[00:07] <arrrghhh> Kiten: but who hits alt to get a $?  :P
[00:07] <metaspike> paulsomebody im glad to hear that. you might want to activate the root acc so you can use the traditional "su" as well
[00:07] <xangua> Arcademan: you can install pidgin-libnotify to integrate it to the message indicator (envelope)
[00:07] <NeedHelp> sebashtian: not shift, but the Alt-button just right for Space-button, the one you need in combination with the number button at the top of the keyb to enter special characters like ¦@£$½¥{[]} etc
[00:08] <xangua> Arcademan: after install it you need to start pidgin again and enable the libnotify plugin on it's preferences
[00:08] <paulsomebody> metaspike: I read it it not very good idea from the point of view of security.
[00:08] <mongy> bfrazier_, might be something to do with codecs or the installed version of mencoder.. have you medibuntu enabled?
[00:08] <scampbell70> hello all I have a question I have a 2 terabyte hd formated in ntfs that has 995gig of data on it that I am trying to copy off to another drive so I can reformat it in ext4 but it keeps locking up my ubuntu box is there any way to do it besides a few files at a time
[00:08] <arrrghhh> paulsomebody: yea that's usually not a good idea.
[00:08] <bfrazier_> mongy, what is mediabutu ?
[00:08] <Kiten> arrrghhh, yeah thats true
[00:09] <Kiten> arrrghhh, prolly someone with a efffed up keyboard
[00:09] <paulsomebody> arrrghhh: Yes, I know.
[00:09] <arrrghhh> paulsomebody: good ;)
[00:09] <mongy> bfrazier_,  sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list &&
[00:09] <mongy> sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[00:09] <arrrghhh> lol
[00:09] <Kiten> worst case scenario use unicode
[00:09] <metaspike> paulsomebody, depends how you use it, it doesnt matter with sudo working you can "sudo su" to get the root account if you like
[00:09] <Arcademan> Ok so xangua that runs no matter if its closed then :) once enabled and configured?
[00:10] <paulsomebody> metaspike: I am sure that there is probably a way to use everything safely, including this command. I just do not see why I should do it.
[00:10] <mongy> bfrazier_,  I use that version.. the non free version.
[00:10] <sebashtian> NeedHelp aah i see yeah i have no idea how to fix that :p it sounds like somehting to do with either java or your keyboard settings , but you probaly already knew that
[00:11] <bfrazier_> mongy, ...I honestly think it has something to do with vbox not recognzing that my dvd is installed...how would I troubleshoot that?
[00:11] <metaspike> paulsomebody, of course. when running a lot of administrative tasks, it's really just a way to avoid typing "sudo" all the time :)
[00:11] <mongy> bfrazier_, devede doesnt burn, just makes an iso
[00:11] <sebashtian> does anyone know how to fix a cd drive that stopped working, it will still eject and spin and stuff but ubuntu doesn't recognize when ever i insert anything in it
[00:12] <paulsomebody> metaspike: I imagine it is. :) I just do not do a lot of administrative work.
[00:12] <mongy> bfrazier_, an iso is easier to burn than an audio_ts and video_ts folder.
[00:12] <dr_willis> scampbell70:  check out 'ddrescue'  to image that flakey drive to a image on a second drive.  then recover the files needed. I would imagine its the hard drive failing thats causeing issues. check dmesg  for any info. You may not want to trust that 2Tb hd.
[00:13] <bfrazier_> mongy, ....how do I make an iso using deveede?
[00:13] <mongy> bfrazier_, it's all there in the options.
[00:13] <metaspike> scampbell70, you might get more success with "testdisk", you might want to run chkdsk /f /x from windoze to check it also.
[00:13] <sebashtian> bfrazier_ did you already try brasero? thats relatevly easy
[00:13] <scampbell70> ok dr_willis thank you
[00:14] <bfrazier_> sebashtian, ...haven't tried brasero
[00:14] <sebashtian> well i think its the most straight forward
[00:15] <scampbell70> the 2t disk is only a few months old but I have riped all my dvds to mkv and all my cds to mp3 and they are on that drive but I am moving from windows to ubuntu full time and want to do away with ntfs
[00:15] <mongy> bfrazier_, if you are trying to put an avi to a dvd compatible disc, then brasero wont
[00:16] <metaspike> bfrazier_, you can make an iso like so - mkisofs -o myiso.iso mydir/   -
[00:16] <bfrazier_> mongy, ...well, how do I make an .iso of the .avi then?
[00:16] <dr_willis> scampbell70:  dmesg command may give a clue why  its crashign the whold system. Only thing i can think of that would do that. would be weird hard drive failures.
[00:17] <scampbell70> but if I select all my video files like 500g after x amount of time the transfer stops then the whole machine locks and I have to do a hard reboot but if I select like 10-20gig at a time i does transfer but it will take forever to do 1t 10gig at a time lol
[00:17] <metaspike> bfrazier, like i said, try dvdauthor
[00:17] <dr_willis> bfrazier_:  you convert a video  and generate a dvd iso image with the converted video.  I use 'devede' for that soft of task.
[00:17] <bfrazier_> metaspike, ...hey the following commands seems to have worked: mkisofs -o myiso.sio .
[00:17] <skraps> cpanel boycott: http://tinyurl.com/6nhsf69
[00:17] <scampbell70> thank you Ill give those a try and see how it goes
[00:17] <dr_willis> scampbell70:  ive backed up 3tb usb to 3tb usb...  :) THAT takes time...
[00:18] <metaspike> burn with wodim... wodim -sao myiso.iso ...
[00:18] <mongy> bfrazier_, it's a simple enough gui.  run devede,  choose make dvd.   new window comes up, press 'add' under the Files window, add your avi,  check the properties, and go.
[00:18] <sebashtian> skraps did you just make that page?
[00:18] <dr_willis> If you dont like how Devede works.. :) you can change it.. its all written in python.  :)
[00:18] <mongy> bfrazier_, it will make an iso in the ~/movie folder
[00:18] <scampbell70> lol I bet, I might just have to do it a little at a time but I am backing up to usb so once I format the drive I got to put them all back again lol
[00:18] <metaspike> yeah, devede sounds like a good 'un
[00:19] <sebashtian> lol why do they like will smith? that lost all of their legitimacy
[00:20] <metaspike> scampbell70,   so... cp -rf /olddrive /newdrive . doesn't work? what's the error?
[00:20] <totem> dr_willis, merry x-mas
[00:21] <metaspike> it just crashes?! that's... wrong... :/
[00:21] <scampbell70> I havent tried the cp command yet cause the usb drive is also ntfs and has about 200g of stuff on it and I didnt know if I could do /cp from ntfs to ntfs usb on a drive with data already on it
[00:21] <maum> can I make install ubuntu image which is currently installed(it is including custom program) I am asking about how to back up current ubuntu.
[00:22] <scampbell70> Im still learning all the ins and outs of ubuntu I am in no way a master yet
[00:22] <linxeh> is there a recommended RADIUS server to use on ubuntu ?
[00:22] <mongy> maum,  personally, a full disk image I use clonezilla.  an installable custom iso to install from cd/usb I use relinux
[00:22] <bfrazier_> hold on.. I'm trying it but wife needed something
[00:23] <linxeh> scampbell70: clonezilla, or dd.
[00:23] <maum> mongy: relinux? is that new utility? or clonezilla?
[00:23] <totem> bfrazier_, :D
[00:23] <mongy> maum, not so easy to use tbh.  but does the job.
[00:23] <scampbell70> cool Ill look them up linxeh
[00:24] <maum> mongy: Is there a easist way?
[00:24] <metaspike> scampbell70, fair enough... lets say that you are copying from usb0 to usb1 ... mkdir /media/usb1/backup/ && cp -rfv /media/usb0 /media/usb1/backup ... make a dir under usb1 called backup, force recursive copy with verbosity to that drive of the contents from usb0
[00:25] <mongy> maum,  a ghost like backup, grab clonezilla, burn it, boot it, and use it.
[00:25] <metaspike> otherwise i use a dual plane program called "worker". either there's a problem with the filesystem, or the method your using to copy simply cant handle it.
[00:25] <scampbell70> thanks meta Ill give that a shot right now
[00:26] <scampbell70> is ext4 the best filesystem to use once I am ready to format?
[00:26] <mongy> maum, just make sure where you are saving the image to has enough space and is fat32 or ntfs or ext..  clonezilla by default will split the images to 2gb so fat32 won't be an issue.
[00:26] <dr_willis> scampbell70:  for most uses - yes.
[00:27] <scampbell70> ok thanks
[00:27] <metaspike> i still prefer ext3
[00:27] <scampbell70> its just going to hold my music and movie and server the on my home network
[00:27]  * dr_willis waits for ext8
[00:27] <AFD> if I wanted the Asus UX31 / UX21 for the looks+spec+portability but was put off by the niggly list of tweaks necessary to have it working (I'm not even sure anyone has it 100% yet) what would you recommend instead?
[00:27] <dr_willis> ext3 or 4 will be fine for your needs scampbell70
[00:28]  * LnxMen may extxD ? ;d
[00:28] <scampbell70> dr_willis thanks
[00:28] <maum> mongy: ok, I see
[00:28] <mongy> maum,  well fat16 either.
[00:29] <mongy> maum, but that's a 2gb limit all on its own
[00:29] <maum> really?
[00:29] <maum> what is the unlimited tool?
[00:29] <bfrazier_> what's the difference between an .iso file and other file systems?
[00:29] <mongy> maum, do you know where you are saving the images to?
[00:30] <maum> by which tool?
[00:30] <maum> clonezilla?
[00:30] <mongy> maum, yes
[00:30] <dr_willis> bfrazier_:  an .iso file is normally an iso9660 filesystem cd or dvd image.  (could use the udf filesystem also i guess)
[00:31] <maum> mongy, I don't have an experence with that
[00:31] <metaspike> bfrazier_, wikipedia has a great article of the International Standard Organisation's filesystem :)
[00:31] <mongy> maum, do you have a place to save the images to
[00:31] <mongy> maum, it can't be the same as the partitions you are imaging.
[00:32] <maum> yes I have
[00:32] <mongy> maum, do you know the sdX id ?
[00:32] <maum> where can I check it/>?? I don't know yet
[00:33] <mongy> maum, is it mounted now?
[00:33] <enotz> I have a number of systems which I believed were all the same - yet one of them seems to have the number of colors set smaller and so images look a little "paint by numbers" - how do I change this in 10.4
[00:34] <maum> mongy: I don't install clonezilla yet
[00:34] <mongy> maum, you dont intall it, it's a cd or usb you boot into
[00:34] <metaspike> AFD, you can find out about linux compatibility here: http://www.linux-drivers.org/
[00:35] <AFD> metaspike: thanks. but I would prefer to hear what people's current dream ubuntu laptops are that don't involve masses of tweaking
[00:35] <mongy> maum, I'm just saying, do you know which device you want to use to put the images onto?  sudo fdisk -l  for example.  you will have to choose this when you boot clonezilla
[00:36] <metaspike> enotz, like a video display problem? limited bpp ?
[00:36] <metaspike> AFD I've heard good things about the Asus Aspire.
[00:37] <AFD> metaspike: different form/spec/looks though...
[00:37] <AFD> metaspike: Ideally I'm wanting 11"-13" high spec and light - basically an Ultrbook
[00:37] <maum> mongy: yes I know I installed ubuntu on D: and windows on C: I want to back up both of them. Is there a guide for this?
[00:38] <metaspike> AFD. i think it depends alot on the hardware compatibily, intel and nvidia is likely to work great, because it suggests that the controllers and video ouputs are almost definately supported.
[00:38] <mongy> maum, is ubuntu installed on a real partition and not using wubi?
[00:39] <cmdrtaco_> how can i test the speed of various dns servers
[00:39] <mongy> maum,  it's pretty easy.  boot clonezilla, choose the /dev/ partition you wanna save the image to, choose savedisk, and beginner defaults will do the rest.
[00:39] <AFD> metaspike: well.... I understand where you're coming from but when I got the Asus 1215n the Ion2 had zero support and that hasn't changed in 18months. Now I'm convinced going straight up Intel GPU is the way to go
[00:40] <enotz> metaspike: bpp? - looks like 8 bits of color
[00:40] <AFD> metaspike: unfortunately it doesn't seem like the GPU is the major issue with the ux21 / ux31 - it's the trackpad, usb-to-ethernet adapter, wifi etc etc
[00:40] <metaspike> mongy, if you follow the instructions on the clonezilla live disk and back them (preferentially to a third disk) it is an easy way to go about it.
[00:40] <maum> mongy: where is the clonzilla that I can install on usb?
[00:41] <mongy> maum, the zip file
[00:41] <cmdrtaco_> hmm its dig @ip host
[00:41] <metaspike> enotz.. in terminal do- -   lspci | grep VGA   - then we know what video card your runnin
[00:41] <mongy> maum, for now, stick to the iso until you know you wanna use it
[00:42] <metaspike> AFD, sneak into the shop with an ubuntu disk, put it in and see how it goes. :)
[00:42] <bfrazier_> while I'm waiting on the iso to be burned to the DVD...why is it advantageous to burn an iso image instead of a Video_TS and Audio_TS files?
[00:42] <AFD> metaspike: haha - that's possibly the best advice I've heard!
[00:42] <enotz> metaspike: intel integrated
[00:43] <enotz> metaspike: same as all the other machine - and I expected the setting to be on the 'monitors' screen but it is not
[00:43] <AFD> metaspike: I've got an elementaryOS usb I keep with me (that's my primary OS and is an Ubuntu derivative)
[00:43] <maum> mongy: I just downloaded it from http://clonezilla.org/downloads.php
[00:45] <yekoms> ok, ive tried everything, i cannot connect VIA ssh.
[00:46] <yekoms> i get errors cant read the key files. which ive recreated atleast twice. yet i still cant connect.
[00:46] <metaspike> enotz, eh... sounds bad, -  cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep VESA - and paste the details to pastebin or wherever
[00:46] <metaspike> !paste
[00:46] <yekoms> any ideas?
[00:49] <blocky> I'm having trouble getting a forcedeth network card up on 11.10, dmesg shows Invalid MAC detected... does anyone know how to fix this?
[00:49] <metaspike> AFD, you really want to test it with the linux version your going to use, i think the live disc still has a usb creator. Maybe if you ask nicely at the right retail outlet they'll just let you try it.
[00:50] <metaspike> yekoms, paste your error to http://paste.ubuntu.com so we can have a look.
[00:50] <yekoms> ok its in my router..not my setup, i can ssh user@localhost just fine.
[00:50] <yekoms> black@blackness:/etc/postfix$ ssh localhost
[00:50] <yekoms> The authenticity of host 'localhost (::1)' can't be established.
[00:50] <yekoms> DSA key fingerprint is 78:8c:5b:8a:ef:63:20:7e:18:46:7f:89:57:f9:4c:2d.
[00:50] <cordoval> hi there, trying to install pixma canon 2200 on ubuntu 11.10 latest on 64bit asusg73jw
[00:51] <cordoval> any hints?
[00:51] <cordoval> sounds like a nightmare already
[00:51] <AFD> metaspike: yeah - I use eOS as my primary OS and have the USB... if the guys in the shop are keen on me spending £1k they should be a little flexible I reckon. Still - have you ever actually had a conversation with a retail assistant in a shop about Linux? It's. never. happened.
[00:51] <yekoms> denied-inter.net:82/ load for anyone?
[00:51] <totem> cordoval, yeah 64bit, sounds hard
[00:52] <cordoval> any workarounds or ready made solutions to install this canon printer pixma 2200?
[00:52] <metaspike> cordoval just mount it, its a block device so, you should just be able to mount it and import files like any other, there are programs for this, nothing comes to mind though have a look in synaptic "camera" "camera photo" etc.
[00:52] <metaspike> oh it's a printer lol
[00:52] <cordoval> mount a printer?
[00:52] <jiffe98> is there a way to open the printer setup utility in 8.04 via command line?
[00:52] <jiffe98> when I do it through the menu it tries to open but never does
[00:53] <metaspike> ah printers. it's all about cups. if cups is configured properly, it should "just work" tm
[00:53] <cordoval> i will blush and feel embarrased, my dad just asked me to print his checking ticket for tomorrow and an important email on this printer
[00:53] <metaspike> okok... hmm.
[00:53] <KoQYapqSW> heh heh heh
[00:53] <KoQYapqSW> printing...
[00:54] <KoQYapqSW> always the pain in my arrrrsse
[00:54] <mongy> I buy epson because they 'just work' tm
[00:54] <cordoval> I am reading a problem on 64 architecture with canon drivers but not sure
[00:54] <cordoval> thought there is a ready made solution for 11.10
[00:54] <cordoval> this does not help much http://ubuntued.info/repositorio-com-drivers-adicionais-de-impressoras-canon
[00:55] <cordoval> cannot find the same selections
[00:55] <metaspike> cordoval, you seen this. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/CanonPrinters/CanonPixmaIP2200
[00:55] <pie_> my LAMP installis all sorts of F****ed up, how can i completely purge it all?
[00:56] <cordoval> metaspike, yes but not sure what to think of, about 64 did you see it?
[00:56] <jiffe98> is there a setup utility I can open from command line ?
[00:57] <dr_willis> Canon Printers and Linux - are sadly.. not the best of solutions.. :(
[00:57] <metaspike> yeah. cordoval i just read it. what a joke, it suggests to use alien and things... urrghhh
[00:57] <dr_willis> jiffe98:  the cups.org homepage/docs detail how to configure a printer via the cli commands. or use the cups web interface.
[00:57] <cordoval> hmm, my dad is going to be more disappointed, man i already have problems with my family
[00:57] <cordoval> Christmas time is not nice
[00:58] <cordoval> someone please help
[00:58] <dr_willis> I basically now make it a point to never buy 'canon' brand printers any more.  i advise my friends likewise.
[00:59] <dr_willis> cordoval:  its possible that those docs may be out of date. askubuntu.com might have more up to date fix's
[01:00] <cordoval> :'( I do not have a choice, i did not buy it, it is not my printer, it is the only one around, i have to try :'(
[01:00] <cordoval> feel horrible
[01:00] <metaspike> cheer um chum
[01:00] <metaspike> cheer up chum*
[01:00] <dr_willis> Last canon printer i used.. printed.. but never used the black ink... with the canon drivers.. :()
[01:01] <dr_willis> everything looked.. weird with it. :)
[01:01] <cordoval> someone suggested this one http://www.unixmen.com/hardware-linux/251-install-canon-pixma-ip1880-in-linux but 2009!
[01:01] <jimb> #fullcirclemagazine
[01:02] <starlon> I need a widget for my file browser that'll open a terminal window pointing to the directory when clicking. Is that possible?
[01:02] <dr_willis> Then that printer started saying my Brand new Blue Ink Cart.. was not blue.. but green..  dident feel like blowing more $$ for a new ink card.  So yes. i am a bit biased against canon.
[01:02] <bfrazier_> how long does it take to burn an iso image?
[01:02] <dr_willis> starlon:  theres nautilus scripts that do a 'command line here....' feature.
[01:02] <starlon> k

[01:02] <starlon> I'll look around. :) Thanks.
[01:02] <cordoval> these are 386

[01:02] <cordoval> not 686
[01:02] <antianno> hello folks! first up, happy holidays (and stuff) ;) now my ... self-produced ... problem: i installed ubuntu without a dedicated /boot partition and now i'd like to have one. my plan is to create a (tar) backup of my root fs in a livecd, then re-partion accordingly, then restore the files (to /boot and / respectively). now, is there something i should be aware of, aside from the changes i'd have to make to the fstab? (new UUIDs and, obviously, a /b
[01:03] <cordoval> so sounds like it will not work, have to find a way
[01:03] <mongy> bfrazier_, depends on the size and your burner and the disc
[01:03] <cordoval> help, I don't want to tear down our relationship already damaged
[01:03] <bfrazier_> I'm @ 29% & it's been well over 10 minutes
[01:04] <cordoval> nothing here http://askubuntu.com/search?q=pixma+2200
[01:04] <mongy> bfrazier_, how are you burning it.
[01:05] <bfrazier_> mongy, devede
[01:05] <mongy> bfrazier_, some older burners dont like newer dye types.. they have no id for them and what speed to burn, so some only burn at the lowest speed.
[01:05] <dr_willis> bfrazier_:  devede dosent burn.. last i checked.. its just a iso generation program.
[01:06] <mongy> bfrazier_,  devede does not burn.   only makes what you need, into an iso
[01:06] <metaspike> cordoval, we need specifics...
[01:06] <cordoval> http://askubuntu.com/questions/75014/how-can-i-install-a-canon-driver ?
[01:06] <cordoval> could this be?
[01:06] <dr_willis> generate iso with devede, test iso with vlc.. burn  iso as needed.
[01:06] <cordoval> metaspike, yes tell me
[01:06] <cordoval> pixma 2200 canon printer
[01:06] <cordoval> on a asus g73jw
[01:06] <dr_willis> cordoval:  as a nasty work around. You could install windows in virtualbox. and set it up to share the printer. :()
[01:07] <cordoval> what do you think about this one ? http://askubuntu.com/questions/75014/how-can-i-install-a-canon-driver
[01:07] <bfrazier_> mongy, ...alright so what do I burn to CD then?
[01:07] <dr_willis> !burn
[01:07] <mongy> bfrazier_, right click,  write to dick
[01:07] <metaspike> i think it's worth a shot cordoval
[01:07] <dr_willis> err.. disk....
[01:08] <mongy> bfrazier_, damn, sorry.. was mistake.   write to disc.
[01:08] <bfrazier_> mongy, ...so basically I'm making an .iso of an .iso
[01:08] <dr_willis> ;)
[01:08] <cordoval> ok thanks man, *crying* i will can give this a try
[01:08] <bfrazier_> mongy, ...yup, that was confusing
[01:08] <mongy> freud was not involved
[01:08] <dr_willis> bfrazier_:  trying to copy a movie dvd?
[01:09] <mongy> bfrazier_, you are making your avi into a an iso you can write to a dvd that will play on a dvd
[01:09] <metaspike> cordoval, ive read that there's a "PPD" on the installation dist, which is a postscript file recognisable by cups, so im guessing that last link shows someboday who was conveniently packaged them for us. so hopefully it works.j
[01:09] <metaspike> installation disk*
[01:09] <cordoval> metaspike, you rock man hope this is it *sobbing*
[01:10] <metaspike> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-ip2200series
[01:10] <metaspike> cordoval, ^ lets hope the ppa is active.
[01:10] <cordoval> installing metaspike
[01:10] <cordoval> almost finished
[01:11] <cordoval> yes
[01:11] <bfrazier_> mongy, ..no I created the .iso
[01:11] <cordoval> ok now what to do, hmm
[01:11] <metaspike> sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
[01:11] <cordoval> i think it already did that
[01:11] <cordoval> i see the icons
[01:12] <metaspike> yay :D
[01:12] <mongy> bfrazier_, well then right click burn with brasero or use   growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso
[01:12] <dr_willis> bfrazier_:  yu may want to test the iso in vlc,or some other video player first.
[01:12] <bfrazier_> mongy, alright
[01:13] <mongy> bfrazier_, as willis said.... you talkin about willis
[01:13] <metaspike> ,_,
[01:13] <mongy> dr_willis, sorry, had to. its xmas.
[01:14]  * dr_willis cuts mongy  off from the egg nog bowl.
[01:14] <cordoval> hmm, not sure the icons
[01:14] <dr_willis> night all...
[01:15] <cordoval> noooaaah
[01:15] <metaspike> cordoval, honestly, consider the monster that is debian, you might just want to reboot entirely
[01:15] <metaspike> *ubuntu
[01:15] <metaspike> always mixing those two.
[01:16] <cordoval> ok i will
[01:16] <cordoval> see you in 1 minutes
[01:16] <bfrazier_> Command, " growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=myiso.iso " results in ":-( /dev/dvd: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 0"
[01:17] <mongy> bfrazier_, put a recordable in then
[01:17] <mongy> bfrazier_, or blank the one you have, if it's dvdrw
[01:18] <kikitheman> Hello.
[01:18] <bfrazier_> mongy, ...it is dvdrw and it should be blank already
[01:18] <kikitheman> Can anyone help me with an nvidia driver problem ?
[01:18] <mongy> bfrazier_, just a right click and write to disc will do the job.
[01:19] <mongy> bfrazier_, should, or is?
[01:19] <mongy> bfrazier_, does it say so anywhere on your desktop?  in nautilus
[01:19] <kikitheman> How do I run the nvidia driver package ( Nvidia.run ) as root ? I set the permisions , but running it with Sudo before the name of the file does nothing . I also tried running it in terminal but it says it needs root privileges .
[01:19] <bfrazier_> mongy, ...nope it's not there...it's vbox
[01:20] <mongy> bfrazier_, you need to enable passthrough then
[01:20] <Resistance> ^
[01:20] <mongy> bfrazier_, or, transfer the iso to your host and burn.
[01:20] <bfrazier_> mongy, ...how do I enable passthrough
[01:20] <metaspike> kikitheman, my advice is dont.
[01:20] <metaspike> !nvidia-current
[01:20] <Resistance> !nvidia
[01:21] <Resistance> kikitheman:  ^
[01:21] <metaspike> thanks :p
[01:21] <Resistance> metaspike:  :P
[01:21] <flexibeast> Hi all. Is there a way to remove a repository from one's Ubuntu installation via the LiveCD?
[01:21] <Resistance> flexibeast:  why via the livecd?
[01:21] <Resistance> you can remove it from within your normal boot
[01:21] <Resistance> s/boot/system environment without the livecd/
[01:22] <metaspike> bfrazier_, try installing wodim, it's easier.
[01:22] <mongy> bfrazier_, in your vm settings.
[01:22] <kikitheman> @resistance . I used the driver update thingy but it installs a shit driver which artifacts my card and crashes when I try to use dual monitors .
[01:22] <flexibeast> Resistance: Because i can't get into the install post a ppa being setup.
[01:22] <kikitheman> Also it is older than the one from the nvidia website .
[01:22] <Resistance> flexibeast:  what did said PPA install?
[01:22] <metaspike> bfrazier_, for burning. iso's
[01:22] <mongy> bfrazier_, choose the drive as Host drive whatever and tick passthrough
[01:22] <Resistance> kikitheman:  use the one that the hardware drivers system says to use... if you try and use the newest drivers you run the risk of exploding your installation
[01:23] <Resistance> kikitheman:  the ones in hardware drivers are tested by the ubuntu peoples, iirc
[01:23] <mongy> bfrazier_, but seriously,  use the shared folder function and copy the iso to your host and burn that way
[01:23] <kikitheman> The one in the hardware drivers is crap .
[01:23] <Resistance> kikitheman:  and you know this how?
[01:23] <bfrazier_> mongy, ..well, I'd like to figure it out in linux
[01:23] <kikitheman> It artifacts my gtx 460 ( running fine in windows ) and it does not let me use dual monitors .
[01:23] <kikitheman> Without a driver it works fine .
[01:24] <flexibeast> Resistance: The ppa setup worked fine; it was the xorg-edgers one. System got updated with relevant packages. But now it doesn't make it to the login screen; just freezes with the 'Ubuntu' logo on the screen.
[01:24] <Resistance> kikitheman:  prepend my name to your messages, or i might miss them.  as well, which version of ubuntu are you running?
[01:24] <Resistance> flexibeast:  i take it you were upgrading X?
[01:24] <metaspike> lol kiktheman. sudo aptitude install nvidia-current   . see what that does for you.
[01:25] <Resistance> metaspike:  try spelling their name right, fwiw
[01:25] <Resistance> (you missed an i in there)
[01:25] <Resistance> kikitheman:  try what metaspike suggested
[01:25] <Resistance> and also please answer my question ;P
[01:25] <kikitheman> Ubuntu vers 11.04 . Also says aptitude command is not found .
[01:25] <Resistance> kikitheman:  apt-get then\
[01:26] <flexibeast> Resistance: Trying to. Been having issues with Oneiric running on this particular laptop. It has integrated Intel graphics, but Unity didn't work - had to run Unity 2D. Then tried installing GNOME Shell, but that didn't work, i suspect because the driver didn't have compositing enabled. Hence me trying out xorg-edgers.
[01:26] <Resistance> lots of us use aptitude over  apt-get, but they do the same :P
[01:26] <kikitheman> It is unpacking a driver
[01:26] <Resistance> flexibeast:  ah.  well you might want to be careful using edgers thingies
[01:26] <kikitheman> 173 mb
[01:26] <metaspike> ah..... no aptitude.. o_o   heathens!
[01:26] <Resistance> metaspike:  !ot is your friend ;P
[01:26] <sumosu> i have a wireless usb mouse that works in windows but not in ubuntu. windows finds new hardware and installs a "HID" device driver. linux doesnt even list anything in the lsusb. anyone got a clue how i could troubleshoot?
[01:26] <flexibeast> Resistance: Agreed! :-) But i didn't think i wouldn't be able to even be able to boot to console ....
[01:27] <bfrazier_> mongy, ...I give up...I'm just burning it to DVD using nero ...dang it should not be this hard
[01:27] <flexibeast> Resistance: So, yeah, i'm wondering if there's a way i can regenerate the package list on my install by using the LiveCD.
[01:27] <mongy> bfrazier_, its not, but you are using a vm
[01:27] <metaspike> sumosu,  sudo apt-get install firmware-restricted-nonfree
[01:28] <mongy> bfrazier_, if this was a real install, all you would do is right click and write to disc
[01:28] <bfrazier_> mongy, burn process failed at 4x
[01:28] <kikitheman> @Resistance That command has finished .  Still how do I run a file ( Nvidia.run ) with root privileges ?
[01:29] <e2b04836> kikitheman: "sudo ./Nvidia.run"
[01:29] <Resistance> kikitheman:  you should probably test the drivers that just installed :P
[01:29] <metaspike> kikitheman, it would be suicide to install that now, just reboot.
[01:29] <Resistance> !root | kikitheman
[01:29] <sumosu> metaspike: ok will reboot and try
[01:30] <kikitheman> when I type sudo ./Nvidia.run it says command not found
[01:30] <kikitheman> file is placed on my desktop btw
[01:30] <Resistance> kikitheman:  did you cd to your Dekstop directory?
[01:30] <Resistance> :P
[01:30] <Resistance> by default the terminal opens to your home folder
[01:31] <somsip> kikitheman: chmod +x ?
[01:31] <metaspike> bfrazier_,   wodim -sao myiso.iso  - hasn't failed me once,
[01:31] <e2b04836> kikitheman: "cd ~/Desktop && sudo ./Nvidia.run"
[01:31] <metaspike> kikitheman, if you install that now you'll be dumping nvidias stuff ontop of the official ubuntu packaged version
[01:32] <Octane> im having the silliest problem. i transferred my domain over away from godaddy and now my email forward doesnt work. what do i need to do to fix it?
[01:32] <metaspike> kikitheman, so like we said, reboot and use the driver you just installed...
[01:32] <kikitheman> ok ill reboot and see if it still craps out on my graphics card
[01:33] <bfrazier_> command, "wodim -sao myiso.iso" results in "wodim: Operation not permitted. Warning: Cannot raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limits.
[01:33] <bfrazier_> Device was not specified. Trying to find an appropriate drive...
[01:33] <bfrazier_> Looking for a DVD-R drive to store 4080.54 MiB...
[01:33] <bfrazier_> "
[01:34] <metaspike> ok. sudo wodim -sao myiso.so
[01:34] <e2b04836> Octane: who did you transfer it to?
[01:34] <kikitheman_> Driver installed . Now it does not detect my second monitor ...
[01:34] <sumosu> uh who was helping me wth the usb mouse?  was that sudp apt-get install firmware-restreicted-nonfree ?
[01:35] <kikitheman_> Both are connected thru DVI and my main one ( the working one ) is on a dvi to vga adapter .
[01:35] <Kai_> Hello?
[01:35] <Kai_> Anyone here?
[01:36] <e2b04836> only 1372 people
[01:36] <SunTsu> !ask | Kai_
[01:36] <mongy> bfrazier_, again, you are using a virtual os and your burner is not showing as a burner in the virtual os
[01:37] <metaspike> sumosu, sorry. it was but in all honestly, it was a guess. it's sudo aptitude install linux-firmware-nonfree  -
[01:39] <kikitheman_> Nvidia Xserver tells me to run "Nvidia Xconfig" as root in terminal . So i ran Sudo Nvidia Xconfig and entered my pw , but it says command can't be found .
[01:39] <cordoval> back
[01:39] <cordoval> it is installed but not printing, it says it goes into the queue
[01:39] <aIUkPcyfn> yes!
[01:39] <cordoval> but not sure why is not printing
[01:39] <cordoval> it even says completed
[01:39] <cordoval> but no print
[01:39] <aIUkPcyfn> i worked the bugs out of my ListChannelMembers function.
[01:39] <aIUkPcyfn> and I can hear you now
[01:39] <aIUkPcyfn> =D
[01:39] <aIUkPcyfn> meeery christmas (christmas miracle)
[01:39] <bfrazier_> mongy, so I'm looking @ vbox settings and I don't see passthrough
[01:40] <metaspike> sumosu,  if you - cat /var/log/Xorg.0/log | grep mouse - let us know what kinda mouse your usin.
[01:40] <cordoval> metaspike,
[01:40] <sumosu> metaspike: hmm it installed something. would i have to reboot or sth?
[01:40] <aIUkPcyfn> brb, cookies
[01:40] <cordoval> any wayto troubleshoot?
[01:41] <Kai_> I have an issure with an Ipod touch running IOS5 and syncing it with my Ubuntu computer. I go into more detail here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11564185#post11564185
[01:41] <sumosu> metaspike: no such file or directory... im using a ps2 mouse but also trying to get the wireless one to work
[01:43] <SunTsu> sumosu: anything in dmesg about that mouse at all?
[01:43] <metaspike> sumosu, my bad. cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep mouse
[01:43] <e2b04836> sumosu: i assume metaspike meant /var/log/Xorg.0.log

[01:47] <sumosu> nope
[01:47] <SunTsu> er, what the?!
[01:48] <sumosu> i just get the root hub info
[01:49] <SunTsu> sumosu: do you get dmesg events when de- and reattaching an usb device, like one of the mice?
[01:50] <sumosu> my main mouse is usb via ps2 adaptor.. does that one count?
[01:51] <metaspike> cordoval, not really unfortunately, without getting into manual driver installations for a unsupported driver and cups postscript driver implimentation (ugh) . you can try this. install a whole bunch of drivers and hope one works, in future, get a brother or hp printer instead... sudo apt-get install brother-cups-wrapper-common brother-cups-wrapper-extra cupsys-driver-gutenprint
[01:51] <SunTsu> sumosu: yeah, should be recognized as an usb device anyway
[01:52] <mongy> i'm outatime.  later

[01:56] <sumosu> the mouse is new (yet cheap) works in windows
[01:56] <snake99> may i ask u sumosu ?
[01:56] <sumosu> SunTsu: yup:) hallo auch:)
[01:57] <SunTsu> sumosu: could be some speed negotiation issues, had that around here quite often lately.
[01:57] <snake99> how i can pot ubuntu in my engine with out nitrous or turbochaRG ?
[01:58] <snake99> use nitrous for full speed issuses mr suntsu
[01:58] <SunTsu> sumosu: you could try different ports or adding a hub
[01:59] <SunTsu> snake99: I'm not sure if I can follow you, and yet even less sure I want to
[01:59] <sumosu> SunTsu: ive tried it on 3 different machines already. no joy with ubuntu
[02:00] <Tanthrix> Anyone know how to make my Ubuntu 9.10 system automatically suspend after a certain length of idleness?
[02:00] <SunTsu> sumosu: I was suspecting some change in usb drivers lately, but got no proof of that yet, do you by change have some older kernel lying around that you could use for testing?
[02:00] <snake99> some time i dont like to using ubuntu cos im tried to understand`t

[02:00] <mnuzaihan> Hi
[02:00] <mnuzaihan> i am having problems with neatx on ubuntu 11.10
[02:01] <SunTsu> sumosu: btw. which version of ubuntu are you running?
[02:01] <snake99> but i like to visit my friend and stay with them in the tent
[02:01] <mnuzaihan> when i connect, it shows only the purple background
[02:02] <Tanthrix> e2b04836: Thanks, but I'm not using Gnome. This is a fluxbox MythTV system, not my regular desktop. Any idea on how to do it via the command line?
[02:02] <sumosu> SunTsu: mint 11 on this machine (ubuntu 11.04 equivalent), also tried it with 10.04 on the other one
[02:02] <sumosu> i believe
[02:02] <bfri> merry christmas all, i want to pull a video im streaming from facebook is there a temp file i can get it?
[02:03] <Tanthrix> e2b04836: NM! Looks like I can still get to it via the Gnome Control Center. Thanks!
[02:03] <sumosu> i think the other one is on the most recent LTS version. 10.x
[02:03] <bfrazier_> how do I enable passthrough in virtualbox
[02:03] <bfrazier_> ?
[02:03] <Farius> ciao
[02:04] <SunTsu> sumosu: that rules out my theory
[02:04] <Farius> !list
[02:04] <snake99> its look like ubuntu VS  chevy ss big block
[02:04] <sumosu> SunTsu: how old should the kernel be? what ubuntu version? ... oh i see
[02:04] <SunTsu> bfrazier_: what do you mean by passthrough?
[02:04] <SunTsu> sumosu: I was thinking about the latest kernel, but, well ;)
[02:04] <sumosu> SunTsu: i tried the mouse with 3.1.5 and 3.0.0 :)
[02:04] <bfrazier_> SunTsu,  well, my dvd is not being recognized..I was told that I would need to enable pass through in virtual box
[02:05] <SunTsu> bfrazier_: you probably need to add the feature pack
[02:05] <bfrazier_> SunTsu, I already installed guest editoins
[02:05] <bfrazier_> *guest editions
[02:05] <sumosu> bfrazier_: try #virtualbox perhaps?
[02:06] <SunTsu> bfrazier_: no, I'm not talking about guest additions. Oracle put some functionality into a feature pack you need to install separately
[02:06] <rosstaylor> how do you find out how many watts of power your laptop is using? is there a comma?
[02:06] <rosstaylor> command*
[02:06] <snake99> i dont think so
[02:06] <bfrazier_> SunTsu, ...alright thanks I'll try #vbox
[02:06] <SunTsu> sumosu: did you try adding a hub? Maybe that could mitigate your issues
[02:07] <flexibeast> So is there any way to boot to console if there's no GRUB menu via which one can pass options to the kernel?
[02:07] <sumosu> SunTsu: but what do you make out of my dmsg log? thats not normal is it? looks like an ongoing negotiation process, right?
[02:07] <bfri> i want to pull a video im streaming from facebook is there a temp file i can get it?
[02:08] <SunTsu> sumosu: yeah, that's why I thought of speed negotioation issues
[02:08] <Black> Flexibeast press shift key when booting to show up grub menu
[02:08] <sumosu> SunTsu: i dont have any hub lying around here. and as i said i tried it on 3 machines, so i doubt it's my machine's fault

[02:12] <modsiw> neither, just whant to change the partition table
[02:12] <snake99> ok suntsu
[02:12] <SunTsu> e2b04836: I think he's going to chat for some time with ubottu
[02:12] <snake99> but im new user here
[02:13] <snake99> i was leaving irc chat since 12 years ago
[02:13] <modsiw> trying to get it to work with a fog imaging cloneing system and its puking bc it isnt /dev/sda1
[02:13] <e2b04836> rosstaylor: i have no idea, sorry :\
[02:13] <snake99> so can u help me to find chaneel for chat ?
[02:13] <rosstaylor> e2b04836: lol ok
[02:13] <Resistance> snake99:  not exactly approppriate for any place on this network, iirc...
[02:13] <rosstaylor> e2b04836: thank you ;)
[02:13] <Resistance> your topic...
[02:14] <snake99> well
[02:14] <xyy> will the command be on the history list if i use the VNC client?
[02:14] <SunTsu> modsiw: if it can't cope with different partitions you might want to consider using something that actually works. Cloning is not too complicated
[02:14] <modsiw> only thing i can think of is to remove that partiontable and use a tool to rebuild a new one with a partion in sthe same place, but that is risky/hacky
[02:15] <SunTsu> modsiw: what exactly are you trying to accomplish?
[02:15] <snake99> thanx about your help suntsu
[02:15] <snake99> cya
[02:16] <modsiw> the lab has a fog (http://www.fogproject.org/) setup for use on many of their systems. for who knows what reasons, its setup to look for /dev/sda1, but these new boxes, the partion is /dev/sda3 (it is the only partiiton).  fog seems to have /dev/sda1 hard coded on it and it cant find the partition. trying to get fog to work with these new boxes
[02:17] <yofun> Hello
[02:17] <e2b04836> rosstaylor: i think i've found exactly what you want - install "powertop" and run it as root, it shows current power usage in W
[02:17] <rosstaylor> e2b04836: sudo apt-get install powertop?
[02:17] <e2b04836> rosstaylor: yup
[02:17] <metaspike> modsiw, is there an existing /dev/sda1 ?
[02:18] <rosstaylor> e2b04836: ok and then what?
[02:18] <yofun> Hello How do u set up custom vhosts like user.myhost.com?
[02:18] <modsiw> nope
[02:18] <e2b04836> rosstaylor: then sudo powertop
[02:18] <yofun> Each user gets their own
[02:18] <metaspike> modsiw, you could hardlink it, but i wouldnt recommend it
[02:18] <yofun> And i hace webadmin also so?
[02:18] <yekoms> ok, if a host is DMZ'd, it cant view its owns servers (sshd/httpd/irc) correct?
[02:19] <rosstaylor> e2b04836: ok where do you see watts?
[02:19] <sumosu> rosstaylor: watts are only displayed when on battery
[02:20] <yofun> Hello How do u set up custom vhosts like user.myhost.com?
[02:20] <yofun> Each user gets their own
[02:20] <yofun> And i hace webadmin also so?
[02:20] <e2b04836> rosstaylor: it says "Power usage (ACPI Estimate): "
[02:20] <e2b04836> !patience | yofun
[02:20]  * yofun waits
[02:20] <metaspike> modsiw, ln -fs /dev/sda3 /dev/sda1   ... again, i wouldnt do this unless you know what you're doing, rather i wouldnt do this at all! but there you have it.
[02:22] <bfri> i want to pull a video im streaming from facebook is there a temp file where i can get it?
[02:23] <modsiw> wondering if that would work for what fog, ill give it a shot
[02:23] <modsiw> thanks
[02:23] <metaspike> bfri, flasgot ... it's a firefox addon
[02:23] <metaspike> flashgot*
[02:23] <rosstaylor> e2b04836: hmmm i don't see it
[02:23] <sumosu> bfri: i'm using video download helper plugin for firefox
[02:24] <e2b04836> rosstaylor: are you on battery?
[02:24] <rosstaylor> e2b04836: yes
[02:24] <Josh___> Hi, I have a primary partition followed by an extended partion(swap,/,ntfs). Can I extend my primary into the swap and / partition?
[02:25] <e2b04836> rosstaylor: hmm, so what do you actually see then?
[02:25] <SunTsu> modsiw: according to fog's manual it can do any given partition number
[02:25] <rosstaylor> e2b04836: i see five headings: overview, idle stats, frequency stats, device stats, and tunables
[02:25] <rosstaylor> e2b04836: but i can't find that power thing you mentioned
[02:26] <metaspike> e2b04836, you could use ohms law to figure it out, but you will need more than just milivolts. http://www.onlineconversion.com/ohms_law.htm
[02:26] <SunTsu> modsiw: if it can't aks them for support, it's hardly an ubuntu issue
[02:27] <SunTsu> ask even
[02:27] <bfri> metaspike, any tips on how to use it?
[02:27] <e2b04836> rosstaylor: i have no idea whats happened there the output doesn't seem remotely similar to what i see here
[02:27] <sumosu> rosstaylor: do you have a battery symbol in your notification area?
[02:27] <modsiw> suntsu, thanks. ill do that
[02:27] <yofun> Hello ? May anyone help me?
[02:28] <Raliegh> So uhhh... Is anyone here able to help me figure out the annoying cracked FFMPEG for transcoding issues on Ubuntu 11.04? I added the Medibuntu repository and installed the 'cracked' FFMPEG codecs, and VLC no longer outputs an error upon trying to transcode anymore, and it actually opens up the connection from and to my server... But nothing actually gets transcoded. The media type is still the
[02:28] <Raliegh> same and no sound is played on that opened stream.
[02:28] <yofun> Just tell me like a program to do that?
[02:28] <rosstaylor> sumosu: yes i do
[02:28] <SunTsu> yofun: any web server, like lighttpd, apache, nginx, and so on
[02:29] <sumosu> rosstaylor: if you click on it (i forgot if left or right) you should get an info "x:xx minutes left".. what happens if you click on that?
[02:29] <yofun> I mean for irc dnses
[02:29] <yofun> Etc
[02:29] <yofun> The vhost they see
[02:29] <metaspike> bfri, start the video then go > tools > flashgot > flashgot media . to download it
[02:29] <rosstaylor> sumosu: nothing comesup
[02:29] <e2b04836> yofun: i see, what you want is an IRC bouncer like psyBNC
[02:29] <SunTsu> !enter yofun
[02:30] <SunTsu> !enter > yofun
[02:30] <yofun> Nl
[02:30] <yofun> No i want anything i connect useing a vhost
[02:31] <yofun> Bots users etc
[02:31] <yofun> And to show that vhost on websites
[02:31] <sumosu> rosstaylor: lemme boot up my book:)
[02:31] <doritoDan> Merry Codemas!
[02:31] <yofun> Like eggdrops
[02:31] <SunTsu> either yofun is too drunk or I am too tired, I don't understand a thing
[02:31] <Resistance> yofun:  you'd need a special RDNS on the ip for that system
[02:32] <e2b04836> SunTsu: me too, the more i try to understand the more my brain hurts
[02:32] <Firestone> Anyone know how I can get my dhcp-server to show hostnames when DHCPDISCOVER is logged in syslog? This worked before I reinstalled my dhcp-server?.
[02:32] <yofun> Hmm RDNS i heard something about that
[02:32] <coleix1> Guys I'm having random crashes and have no idea why but I think is my video card, does ubuntu make minidumps or something like that to check?
[02:32] <Resistance> yofun:  yeah, something your ISP or IP provider sets on the IP
[02:32] <Resistance> gimme a sec, i'll show ya an example
[02:32] <e2b04836> yofun: you want to change your host for everything? http etc?
[02:33] <Raliegh> So I take it nobody can help me with these FFMPEG problems? Heh.
[02:33] <bfri> metaspike thank you much
[02:33] <metaspike> coleix1, cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:33] <yofun> Resistance:  knows what im talking about
[02:33] <Resistance|Srv> yofun: i'm Resistance in via my server
[02:33] <Resistance|Srv> fwiw the RDNS on my server is kor.trekweb.org
[02:33] <Resistance|Srv> the gateway cloak is on because of the iline on the ip...
[02:34] <Resistance|Srv> but if it didnt have it, this connection, and any other connection i spawn, including bots, would have kor.trekweb.org as its host
[02:34] <rosstaylor> sumosu: hm
[02:34] <Resistance|Srv> yofun: its not a VHOST its a Reverse DNS (the hostname tied to an IP)
[02:34] <Resistance> yeah
[02:34] <yofun> Cool
[02:35] <yofun> So would a home isp setup one?
[02:35] <Resistance> so basically, you'd have to talk to your ISP or whoever provides the IP for your machine(s) and get them to change the RDNS
[02:35] <Resistance> yofun:  most likely not
[02:35] <coleix1> Is there a windows ctrl+alt+supr alternative to ubuntu when it hangs?
[02:35] <Resistance> yofun:  because those are  dynamic IPs
[02:35] <e2b04836> yofun: i highly doubt your isp will do that, get a cheap VPS
[02:35] <yofun> Suddenlink
[02:35] <Resistance> yofun:  in all likelihood you'd have to upgrade to a plan with a static IP, like a business plan, and that can be expensive.  listen to e2b04836 here, a VPS might work
[02:35] <Resistance> s/might work/would work/
[02:36] <SunTsu> I'd recommend ipv6 tunnel and use a ipv6 irc server
[02:36] <pinguy_> what can i use to view wikipedia xml dump files ?
[02:36] <SunTsu> a /48 should give you enough "vhosts" to play with
[02:37] <sumosu> rosstaylor: can you fire up gnome-power-statistics from the terminal?
[02:37] <pinguy_> does any one know ?
[02:37] <SunTsu> pinguy_: er, less?
[02:37] <pinguy_> what can i use to view wikipedia xml dump files ?
[02:37] <pinguy_> less  ??
[02:37] <metaspike> pinguy_ once is enough :)
[02:38] <pinguy_> you said less, so i restated the question, you appeared confused.. less makes no sence to me
[02:38] <pinguy_> sense
[02:38] <SunTsu> pinguy_: because you didn't specify what exactly you mean by view. Simply browsing them can be done by using less or even more
[02:39] <pinguy_> un less "less" is the name of an app that views wikipedia xml dump files .. is it ?
[02:39] <rosstaylor> sumosu: how?
[02:39] <e2b04836> pinguy_: any text editor/viewer can view xml files, they are just text
[02:39] <sumosu> rosstaylor: just type it
[02:39] <SunTsu> pinguy_: it's a general file viewer, xml is just text in a special format
[02:40] <pinguy_> oh, these xml dumps are pictures and images of current wikipedia en version
[02:40] <rosstaylor> sumosu: ok i see it
[02:40] <rosstaylor> sumosu: now where do i find out
[02:40] <pinguy_> the file is over 32gbytes
[02:40] <yofun> Thanks :)
[02:40] <sumosu> rosstaylor: select battery on the left, then history tab and select rate
[02:41] <pinguy_> it has talks and older versions of the pages omitted , else it would be closer to 3 Tbbytes
[02:41] <metaspike> pinguy_, ive used this in the past, and it was good enough: https://launchpad.net/wikipediadumpreader
[02:41] <rosstaylor> sumosu: ok?
[02:41] <sumosu> rosstaylor: you should see a graph labelled with watts on the left
[02:41] <metaspike> only does text
[02:41] <rosstaylor> sumosu: yes
[02:41] <SunTsu> pinguy_: look what I found googling for "wikipedia dump reader linux": http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=65244
[02:41] <metaspike> oh it has latex as well.
[02:42] <rosstaylor> sumosu: roughly 25 watts per hour
[02:42] <rosstaylor> sumosu: what is yorus
[02:42] <pinguy_> my search was "wikipedia xml linux offline viewer"
[02:42] <sumosu> rosstaylor: 12-22
[02:42] <pinguy_> i will use the app meyaspike claims is good enough...
[02:42] <SunTsu> pinguy_: looks like my google-fu is stronger than yours ;)
[02:43] <rosstaylor> sumosu: this is much lower than i thought it would be
[02:43] <grkblood> very broad question but is there a way to get docking stations to work with laptops running linux?
[02:43] <grkblood> ubuntu*
[02:43] <coleix1> Guys I don't see any apparent error on xorg.0.log anywhere else I can look?
[02:43] <grkblood> i have an HP laptop and my docking station video is refusing to work
[02:43] <pinguy_> thanks suntsu.. i was not finding anything , every thing  i came accross was for windows or only worked with a custom modified version of the files ..
[02:43] <pinguy_> across
[02:43] <pinguy_> yeah suntsu :)
[02:44] <e2b04836> coleix1: /var/log/messages or /var/log/syslog
[02:44] <rosstaylor> sumosu: i thought it would be much higher
[02:44] <sumosu> rosstaylor: my average is roughly around 15 watts. but its just a small 12 inch notebook
[02:44] <pinguy_> i figured linux uses would know how to view wiki dump files :)
[02:45] <pinguy_> users
[02:45] <metaspike> how did you figure this out?! i want to know my wattage ^_^
[02:45] <pinguy_> i doubt many windows users have the mentality to be driven to have a local copy of wikipedia... perhaps a hot movie collection at best :p
[02:45] <pinguy_> thanks all and suntsu  / metaspike
[02:46] <sumosu> metaspike: powertop or gnome-power-statistics, both only give data when running on battery
[02:46] <rosstaylor> sumosu: ok thank you
[02:49] <sumosu> rosstaylor: keep in mind that the power statistics tool itself uses power. powertop is the better tool
[02:49] <rosstaylor> sumosu: still, i can't see the actual voltage use
[02:50] <metaspike> well.. all powertop "tunables" are now "good", my mouse would freeze so I had to "bad" that device, anyway. verygood.
[02:51] <lime_> I'm trying to use `valgrind` using this tutorial http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/learn-c-the-hard-waych5.html
[02:51] <lime_> but I am unable to get the line numbers to display for the file
[02:52] <coleix1> How do I fix xorg?
[02:52] <rosstaylor> sumosu: thank you
[02:52] <e2b04836> coleix1: thats a very vague question, what exactly is wrong?
[02:53] <metaspike> colext... lspci | grep VGA  - tell us what video card ur using.
[02:53] <metaspike> colex1 ^
[02:53] <metaspike> arrh i need to fix autocompletion
[02:53] <sumosu> rosstaylor: voltage use?
[02:54] <sumosu> rosstaylor: type sensors for voltage
[02:54] <kernelpanicker> I'm running 11.10 on a Dell Precision laptop, and the pointer speed is too slow even when the Acceleration and Sensitivity sliders are maxed out on the Mouse dialogue.  Help.
[02:54] <coleix1> Random hangs, on xorg.1.log i saw shutdown CMMQS, but don't know if that's an error or me pressing the shutdown button manually
[02:56] <lotus-blade> is there any way to get my webcam to work right?
[02:56] <opticlove> i actually got steam working on ubuntu. three cheers for me, even though i cheated i suppose
[02:57] <metaspike> kernelpanicker, try sudo aptitude install lxinput && lxinput
[02:57] <metaspike> lotus-blade, does it show with mplayer tv://   ?
[02:59] <KBentley57> hey guys.  I have two 4870's installed.  I'm about to install a 6970.  Are the binary blob drivers cool with this?  Or should I uninstall, and do a clean install of ATI's proprietary drivers?
[03:01] <lotus-blade> metaspike.  mplayer not installed
[03:01] <metaspike> lotus-blade, http://www.liberiangeek.net/2011/10/use-your-webcam-in-ubuntu-11-10-oneiric-ocelot/
[03:01] <metaspike> !tell KBentley57 !ati
[03:02] <metaspike> ha! KBentley57 I would use the ones ubuntu provides.
[03:03] <KBentley57> metaspike:  I would, but the binary ones work better
[03:03] <metaspike> realisticly there are -three- drivers to choose from, the xorg ones, the ubuntu packaged proporeitory ones and the ones from upstream / nvidia / ati
[03:05] <metaspike> to get the prop ones, on oneiric,  sudo aptitude install fglrx
[03:05] <KBentley57> as far as i know, the "post release update" option is still broken in jockey.  I can't seem to get it to update.  I suppose I could completely remove the fglrx blob from synaptic, but I try to keep them up to date
[03:05] <ShawnRisk> I am trying to check if my DVD is Read or Write only, and did dmesg | grep -i dvd in terminal with nothing outputting onto the screen.  What do I do?
[03:05] <coleix1> i have a hd6950, it has 2 drivers the proprietary drivers didn't install i had to use the privative drivers, and i'm having i little bit of video lag
[03:05] <lotus-blade> metaspike.  cheese goes to load and dies
[03:05] <metaspike> or sudo apt-get install fglrx
[03:05] <KBentley57> did you try to install them using jockey coleix1?
[03:06] <coleix1> KBentley: is that the additional drivers option?
[03:06] <KBentley57> coleix1: yes
[03:07] <lotus-blade> metaspike: (cheese:20424): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: Unable to find suitable fbconfig for the GLX context: Unable to find fbconfig with rgba visual
[03:07] <coleix1> KBlentley57: then yeah, there's 2 option there and I had to use the privative one because the proprietary one gives me an error
[03:08] <kernelpanicker> metaspike: sanity check... 'sudo apt-get install lxinput && lxinput'?
[03:08] <metaspike> "install lxinput and run lxinput" my fav mouse sensitivity configurator
[03:08] <metaspike> go for it.
[03:08] <sumosu> i have a bit of a technical question... initramfs can see my SDcard.. grub can not. can i boot initramfs from one drive but load the system from another?
[03:10] <kernelpanicker> metaspike: aha ok... didn't know about the meaning of the &&, now I do ;)
[03:12] <kernelpanicker> OK well... that's a cool utility... but my pointer still doesn't move far enough even with those sliders at their max.
[03:12] <cliffybx> Anyone here that use ubuntu 11.10?
[03:12] <Resistance> there you go
[03:12] <kernelpanicker> It takes three slides of the finger to move the pointer across the screen.
[03:12] <kernelpanicker> cliffybx: I do.
[03:13] <sumosu> cliffybx: we can assume that this is the case, therefore you just asked a metaquestion. bad start:))
[03:13] <cliffybx> Resistance ..thanks for the guide
[03:13] <Resistance> mhm
[03:14] <metaspike> i want to figure this out so lemme try. lotus-blade try:   lsusb | pastebinit   and send us the link
[03:14] <coleix1> well haven't had a crash again yet but i still think is xorg
[03:15] <cliffybx> im a learner and still new at ubuntu..can you all teach me
[03:15] <kernelpanicker> cliffybx: what is your problem?
[03:15] <kernelpanicker> cliffybx: what do you want to learn?
[03:15] <cliffybx> my ubuntu always crash
[03:15] <cliffybx> can u help me ti fix it
[03:15] <cliffybx> to
[03:16] <xangua> !details | cliffybx
[03:16] <kernelpanicker> cliffybx: Yes, we can help you learn.
[03:17] <cliffybx> im running ubuntu 11.10..my file explorer always crash..i always update..i hope i can fix it..
[03:17] <metaspike> kernelpanicker, -   xset m <accel> <threshold>   -   so xset m 5 5  for example is 5 times faster than normal.
[03:17] <metaspike> i *think* but anyway, it works, try it
[03:18] <e2b04836> cliffybx: what do you mean by crash? is there an error displayed?
[03:18] <coleix1> Btw, did someone answered me if there's a windows ctrl+alt+supr equivalent in ubuntu where I can force shut an application that hangs?
[03:18] <kernelpanicker> cliffybx: use the commandline instead.
[03:18] <xangua> coleix1: is disabled by default but you can enable it on Keyboard settings
[03:19] <kernelpanicker> metaspike: where do I set those configurations?
[03:19] <cliffybx> yes..it says got problem and have to report..it tell me to update..but still the same after update
[03:19] <metaspike> coleix1, from terminal .... killall "appname"  or xkill <point and click to kill>
[03:19] <kernelpanicker> cliffybx: can you tell us more exactly what the problem is?
[03:20] <metaspike> kernelpanicker, from terminal of course! i dont really care for these fancy gui apps >_<
[03:20] <cliffybx> my file explorer..always crash..automatic close..
[03:21] <coleix1> metaspike: but if i can't move the mouse (that happened to me a couple of times today) and i typed ctrl+alt+t to open terminal and it wouldn't open either
[03:21] <e2b04836> coleix1: you could create a new shortcut to xkill
[03:21] <kernelpanicker> metaspike: OK... just that lxinput launches a gui...
[03:22] <kernelpanicker> cliffybx: I do not know enough to troubleshoot your problem, but someone in here will help you.
[03:22] <cliffybx> kernelpanicker =) tahnks
[03:22] <TJRana_> Hello. Um...
[03:22] <cliffybx> thanks
[03:22] <TJRana_> I have a question.
[03:22] <amitz> I'm looking for an instruction on multi-seats of ubuntu 11.10. The best I can get is version up to 11.04: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX
[03:22] <e2b04836> !ask | TJRana_
[03:23] <metaspike> cliffybx, sudo dpkg-reconfigure nautilus   - from terminal.
[03:24] <kernelpanicker> metaspike: metaspike to the rescue!!  xset did the trick... love that tool!  Thanks ;)
[03:24] <cliffybx> =) thanks metaspike
[03:24] <metaspike> np
[03:24]  * metaspike takes a break
[03:25] <TJRana_> Okay, so I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 Server on my computer. I want to make this computer a server.
[03:25] <cliffybx> when the release of ubuntu 12.04?
[03:26] <xangua> !12.04 | cliffybx
[03:26] <TJRana_> The release of Ubuntu 12.04 will be in April 2012.
[03:26] <sumosu> in the 4th month of 2012. hence the name
[03:26] <cliffybx> =)ok..thanks..can't wait to use it
[03:27] <TJRana_> Okay, so after I went through the setup, I went to my IP address and it gave me a "It works!" message.
[03:27] <somsip> cliffybx: always follow reviews and reports of problems before upgrading. unless you prefer to live on the bleeding edge
[03:27] <Black> Tjrana_ greats
[03:27] <cliffybx> =) ok somsip
[03:27] <cliffybx> thanks
[03:27] <TJRana_> I also set up the domain I bought a while ago to go to this IP address.
[03:28] <cordyceps> I installed a new screensaver but when I go to Preferences->Screensaver I can't find it. How to fix?
[03:28] <somsip> cliffybx: just friendly advice. things do break on releas.e It's annoying to upgrade and then read that others are having the same problemjs as you...
[03:28] <TJRana_> I want to make it so the server can handle emails. How do I do that?
[03:28] <sumosu> im one of the people unhappy with unity
[03:29] <e2b04836> teej: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PostfixBasicSetupHowto
[03:29] <cliffybx> >somsip> my synaptic manager crash recently..automatic close.how to fix it
[03:29] <kernelpanicker> where is the mouse acceleration set permanently? which file?
[03:30] <teej> Thanks.
[03:30] <metaspike> TJRana_, that's apache2 it hanles from /var/www/   - man apache2 for details. for a mailserver. learn how to use sendmail or such.
[03:30] <teej> metaspike, I don't understand what you mean.
[03:31] <Black> Sumosu i'm too
[03:31] <coleix> Now I definitely messed up, I activated the ctrl+alt+backspace to kill server X option and did it, now it wont boot, what now?
[03:31] <metaspike> kernelpanicker, there is no place for xset overrides as stated in its manpage, if you add eg - xset m 5 5 -  to ~/.xsession  (/home/user/.xsession) they will be applied everytime to login.
[03:32] <Guest54883> Hey! I got an very old windows formatted iPod and i'm trying to mount it up to get some files from it and I dont know how. I've tried gtkpod, amarok, and some terminal stuff and files.
[03:32] <cliffybx> how to make battery icon to appear in ubuntu panel ?
[03:32] <kernelpanicker> metaspike: OK thx
[03:33] <metaspike> coleix, your install sounded messy from the start, I would install 10.04 as it's more likely to work and upgrade when 11.* gets its shit together.
[03:33]  * metaspike apologises language
[03:35] <coleix> I remember I had the crash on 11.04 and I something to xorg that someone here told me to do and fixed the issue
[03:35] <cliffybx> try update your system
[03:36] <metaspike> that and/or try removing the xorg.conf, allowing the defaults to be regenerated. sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:36] <coleix> well pressing shift at boot up only made it hang at the purple screen before the ubuntu loading
[03:37] <mohamed> hi
[03:37] <Guest53340> how can i open website as terminatior
[03:37] <Black> Hi mohamed
[03:38] <metaspike> Guest54883, do you know what filesystem it's using? use gparted to find out.
[03:38] <cliffybx> how to use feedbottle or beini?
[03:38] <lotus-blade> metaspike: http://paste.ubuntu.com/783003/
[03:39] <coleix> the only fail at boot up is "stopping automatic crash report generation"
[03:39] <lotus-blade> after googling it I am not the only one having this problem
[03:40] <Guest53340> how can i open website as terminatior
[03:40] <cordyceps> How do I activate new screensaver? It doesn't show up in Preferences->Screensaver.
[03:40] <Black> What you mean?
[03:40] <cliffybx> how to hack wifi using ubuntu?
[03:41] <teej> isn't that illegal?
[03:41] <lotus-blade> metaspike: aparently cheese will not start because of clutter.  This seems to be effecting many users

[03:43] <bruenig_> !fr
[03:44] <coleix> what does the option ctrl+alt+backspace to kill server x actually do?
[03:45] <metaspike> lotus-blade, if you want to test. sudo apt-get install mplayer && mplayer tv://      .... or try ekiga, or skype...
[03:45] <metaspike> teej, it's only illegal if you hack without permission :)
[03:45] <teej> metaspike, I knew that
[03:47] <coleix> well i got in on recovery mode, what can i do now guys?

[03:55] <xangua> what the bot told you
[03:55] <MoHaMeD-ToUj> i dont understand
[03:58] <Black> Mohamed. Install links2 package
[03:59] <MoHaMeD-ToUj> thank you very much black :)
[04:00] <Black> Mohamed. Good lucks guys
[04:02] <MoHaMeD-ToUj> the name for the fastest copy linux pleasseeee
[04:03] <nvz> MoHaMeD-ToUj: rsync is the most useful means of copying things in linux.. heh
[04:03] <nvz> what you are asking, I haven't a clue
[04:03] <coleix> hey guys i did this http://ubuntuportal.com/how-to-enable-key-sequence-ctrlaltbackspace-to-kill-server-on-ubuntu-11-10/ and after using it to test it now won't boot
[04:03] <SunTsu> nvz: I really was impressed that you understood his question
[04:03] <ahhughez> how can I find out which processes have a lock on a dir /somewhere  ?
[04:04] <SunTsu> ahhughez: lsof
[04:04] <Black> I don't understand what you mean mohamed-touj
[04:04] <ahhughez> SunTsu, its suggesting fuser
[04:04] <nvz> SunTsu: yeah totally did not understand that.. didn't know if he was trolling for the "fastest linux" and I should kick him towards #gentoo or what
[04:04] <MoHaMeD-ToUj> i have 512 RAM & 2.0 GHZ pross i use UBUNTU it is so slow and i try
[04:05] <teej> I'm going to leave now. I might be back later. Bye everyone. And Merry Christmas!!!!!
[04:05] <MoHaMeD-ToUj> XUBUTU it's too slox
[04:05] <MoHaMeD-ToUj> slow
[04:05] <xangua> !lubuntu | MoHaMeD-ToUj
[04:05] <SunTsu> ahhughez: there's more than one tool
[04:05] <nvz> MoHaMeD-ToUj: your problem it seems would be lack of ram, you need to slim down the interface or go use gentoo and compile everything for no benefit
[04:05] <SunTsu> ahhughez: use what you like best
[04:05] <mebigfatguy1> MoHaMeD-ToUj: memory is cheap
[04:05] <mebigfatguy1> pay 20 bucks and get 2M
[04:05] <mebigfatguy1> er 2G
[04:05] <kernelpanicker> metaspike: thx again for all the help!
[04:05] <metaspike> MoHaMeD-ToUj, sudo rcconf  - disable the stuff you dont need.
[04:06] <nvz> MoHaMeD-ToUj: doesn't matter what distro you use, just need to slim down the ram usage because 512MB is not enoug
[04:06] <metaspike> kernelpanicker, :D rock on buddy
[04:06] <rhineheart_m> hello.. is there a unique way of saving iptables to survive on boot than other linux distro?
[04:06] <coleix> maybe puppy linux?
[04:06] <ahhughez> SunTsu, yeah Im kinda stuck here... need to get the mount moved before I restart ther service, or its going to be super unhappy :(
[04:07] <nvz> MoHaMeD-ToUj: ubuntu for instance uses compiz by default to do a bunch of flashy stuff you dont have memory for.. that as well as a bunch of other crap would need to be uninstalled or you need more ram.
[04:07] <SlimShady> hi everyone
[04:07] <SunTsu> rhineheart_m: what's wrong with iptablessave?
[04:07] <nvz> MoHaMeD-ToUj: if you wanna start more minimal and have a solid OS I'd personally recommend Debian and to use the XFCE or LXDE cd image
[04:08] <SlimShady> can someone answer a question about linux and android?
[04:08] <extor> So I want to allocate an entire server for mail. Probably using postfix. And being the noob that I am I need a web based GUI tool to configure and maintain it. Can't decide on what tool to use or whether postfix or qmail is the better choice. I want to give multiple clients smtp and pop access securely
[04:08] <metaspike> SlimShady, just ask.
[04:08] <somsip> !ask | SlimShady
[04:08] <MoHaMeD-ToUj> i will try Lubuntu and thnx for all
[04:09] <SlimShady> does android, since it uses Linux kernel, get affected by the power usage regressions as well?
[04:09] <SunTsu> extor: qmail. Bwahahahaha. sorry. Bwahahaha
[04:09] <skyace888> Hi all! Anyone have experience using ubuntu as a nas?
[04:10] <rhineheart_m> SunTsu: it can't survive after boot
[04:10] <SunTsu> extor: sorry, can't stop laughin by the thought of using qmail again. Better use postfix or exim
[04:10] <SunTsu> rhineheart_m: of course it does. use iptables-save to save and iptables-restore to restore your rules
[04:11] <extor> whats wrong with qmail
[04:11] <lsv> does anyone knows what the '-DL', '-DS' and '-DW' flags are for in the gcc compiler?
[04:12] <SunTsu> extor: well, you need to patch EVERYTHING into it
[04:13] <SunTsu> extor: qmail as such is quite raw, only the most basic features, the rest is patches from lots of different sources, of varying code quality
[04:14] <rhineheart_m> SunTsu: this is what I did... /sbin/iptables-restore < /locationofiptables/iptables.rules ....then after which.. the IP that I want to block (outgoing and incoming) is working.. but after reboot.. it won't work again..
[04:15] <vipinb> hello all I want to purchase 5+1 sound card. Can anyone suggest me which will be the best sound card support linux?
[04:15] <SunTsu> rhineheart_m: you need to setup a startup script for that, that's not too hard to do
[04:16] <batlock> hey guys, don't flame me, using debian..  Just wanna know if I can disable the wallet subsystem and still be able to connect to an encrypted wifi without having to enter a key every time
[04:16] <driiper> Hello! Do anyone have ANY clue why my UBUNTU 11.10 server is going in some kinda sleep mode after x hours of inactivity? Is this some new standard thing that comes with 11.10?  THe problem is that my server randomly innaccessible from the web. Any clue? Thanks
[04:18] <MoHaMeD-ToUj> how can i crack WIFI with ubuntu ??
[04:18] <rhineheart_m> SunTsu: then I did  iptables -L .. it's in the list already... then...iptables-save > /etc/iptables.up.rules then nano /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/iptables and did this...  #!/bin/bash
[04:18] <rhineheart_m>  /sbin/iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.up.rules then chmod +x /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/iptables
[04:18] <rhineheart_m> SunTsu: but this thing won't work.. I just don't know why..
[04:18] <SunTsu> MoHaMeD-ToUj: if you don't know nobody will teach you
[04:19] <Canadian1296> MoHaMeD-ToUj: This isnt the place to discuss that.
[04:19] <MoHaMeD-ToUj> i run Xchat for the 1st time
[04:19] <SunTsu> rhineheart_m: then look at the log files what went wrong
[04:19] <rhineheart_m> MoHaMeD-ToUj: hacking to wifi network is not a good thing to me..
[04:19] <maum> usb memory is 3GB and iso file is 100MB so how can I boot disk for this? I want to use the remains of usb memory
[04:19] <Canadian1296> MoHaMeD-ToUj: http://bit.ly/uwBmLx
[04:19] <maum> make
[04:19] <driiper> Hello! Do anyone have ANY clue why my UBUNTU 11.10 server is going in some kinda sleep mode after x hours of inactivity? Is this some new standard thing that comes with 11.10?  THe problem is that my server randomly innaccessible from the web. Any clue? Thanks
[04:20] <rhineheart_m> SunTsu: those ones are expected to work right?
[04:20] <SunTsu> !patience | driiper
[04:20] <zie> ass kakak2....
[04:20] <MoHaMeD-ToUj> thnxxxxx guysss
[04:20] <zie> siang kakak
[04:20] <SunTsu> rhineheart_m: they look ok, but I would need to check the man pages to see if they are
[04:21] <coleix> Tried updating the ati drivers but it still won't boot
[04:21] <batlock> !wifidocs | MoHaMeD-ToUj   also cracking wifi can be illegal under most circumstances and is most likely frowned upon here
[04:23] <rhineheart_m> SunTsu: where to check the logs? how to do it? thanks..
[04:24] <SunTsu> rhineheart_m: well, it's ppp logs, right? /var/log/debug most probably

[04:26] <Guest18633> I'm having lots of trouble with my wifi adaptor
[04:26] <batlock> also MoHaMeD-ToUj, it's not nice to pm someone without asking, and to repetedly ask me to do something that's illegal
[04:26] <batlock> so stop
[04:27] <coleix> "Starting load fallback graphics devices [Fail]" isn't that the drivers?  I updated from ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates and it still wont boot
[04:27] <Guest18633> I have a NETGEAR WN111v2 WIFI USB Adaptor and I use it to get the Internet
[04:28] <Guest18633> It keeps dropping out the will will not stay connected for longer then 5 mins
[04:28] <Guest18633> sorry for the typos
[04:28] <StarryNight> sometimes if u get items make sure that it is windows and linux certified just because it works in windows
[04:29] <Guest18633> Is there a driver for the NETGEAR WN111v2
[04:29] <Guest18633> that can work on linux
[04:29] <StarryNight> check on their site
[04:29] <Guest18633> I did nothing
[04:29] <Guest18633> I was told to ask you guys
[04:29] <batlock> looks like an atheros chipset
[04:29] <batlock> Atheros AR9001U-
[04:30] <Guest18633> It sure doesn't work right with linux
[04:30] <Guest18633> always having to reconnect it
[04:30] <lotus-blade> ok I am now having a problem connecting to my network drives.  I can not see anyone in my workgroup
[04:30] <Guest18633> Also
[04:31] <Guest18633> I was on the Ubuntu Facebook site trying to get help and there was a person telling me to just use windows 7 and not to use linux anymore.
[04:31] <Guest18633> I tried to tether my phone to linux but.. I didn't understand how to
[04:31] <batlock> I had that problem with my wifi card back in 8.10 i have an AR928X
[04:32] <batlock> but i'm of little experience with fixing stuff like that, my fix was to go to #ubuntu+1 at the time
[04:33] <Guest18633> There is no way you could download anything with linux with my wifi card because just as you walk away the signal is dead and drops out trying to reconnect and fails until you reconnect the usb card
[04:33] <batlock> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1183536  try that out
[04:33] <batlock> dunno what help it'll be
[04:33] <rhineheart_m> SunTsu: my var/log/debug is empty...
[04:34] <Guest18633> yeah I don't really understand this code at all or how to use it
[04:35] <SunTsu> rhineheart_m: well, then it's different with ppp and normal ifup, you still can check /var/log/syslog for instabnce
[04:35] <SunTsu> -b

[04:38] <Kevin`> the mouse in ubuntu 11.10 is very flaky in qemu, is there a fix for that?
[04:38] <coleix> i tried sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf but it doesn't exist
[04:38] <batlock> !wifidocs | Guest18633 before you do anything, look through these

[04:38] <pnorman> I'm trying to find some motherboard compatibility information - any suggestions on where to look?
[04:39] <coleix> can someone with 11.10 do me a favor and find xorg.config?
[04:39] <Kevin`> pnorman: almost all desktop hardware works fine. pick what you want, then check the specific parts to make sure
[04:40] <DarkXPhenomenon> can anyone help me start with android kernel compilation? codesourcery , arm-eabi etc are needed the doc says, is there anything else I need?
[04:40] <pnorman> Kevin`: I've picked what I want already
[04:40] <Ben64> coleix: xorg.conf hasn't existed for quite a while
[04:40] <bullgard4> coleix: Normally there is no longer a xorg.config any longer in Ubuntu 11.10. You can create one though.
[04:40] <Kevin`> pnorman: google chipset names

[05:02] <rhineheart_m> is it possible to stop some processes that displayed in "ps ux " automatically upon reboot? like making a script?
[05:02] <SunTsu> rhineheart_m: why een start them at all?
[05:02] <SunTsu> even
[05:02] <coleix> lotus: doesn't it show on nautilus?
[05:03] <lotus> coleix: nope, not under places.
[05:04] <rhineheart_m> SunTsu: there's just a zoombie running in the start-up... want to get rid of it ... I have the set of command already.. when I execute it.. the process stop.. but I don't know yet how to make a script so that it would automatically run in the boot up process
[05:05] <coleix> maybe try the disk utility but on my experience it should appear right there on nautilus
[05:05] <SunTsu> rhineheart_m: what is it?
[05:05] <Raliegh> How do I find out if my Ubuntu is Natty Narwhal (wat...) Meerkat, Lynx, or whatever?
[05:06] <rhineheart_m> SunTsu: it is a sleep command..

[05:07] <SunTsu> Raliegh: sudo lsb_release -a
[05:08] <coleix> no it recognize my 37" tv as a 52" so it goes over the edge

[05:17] <kroq-gar78> Raliegh, lol if u were using 11.10 I was gonna say u a n00b lol :P
[05:17] <Raliegh> Nope, but I am a noob, no denying that.
[05:17] <kroq-gar78> Raliegh, b/c 11.04 is narwhal, not 11.10
[05:17] <kroq-gar78> xD
[05:17] <cliffybx> =)haha
[05:17] <cliffybx> LOL
[05:17] <Raliegh> S'okay, I'm fine with being the jedi of the sea.
[05:18] <kroq-gar78> >_> I'm jealous >:(
[05:18] <rhineheart_m> milamber: m using CLI here..
[05:18] <cliffybx> which ubuntu is the most stable
[05:19] <rhineheart_m> cliffybx: I guess.. the latest stable release :)
[05:19] <kroq-gar78> cliffybx: prob 10.04 b/c least "new" things as such and LTS
[05:19] <sainw> Xoom mount point error. Transport endpoint is not connected!
[05:19] <madoo> hello
[05:19] <madoo> i need hellp
[05:19] <cliffybx> what do you think about the upcoming 12.04 LTS
[05:20] <urlin2u> moe.larry and curly
[05:20] <rhineheart_m> just wondering if package 'bum', or update-rc.d  is GUI
[05:20] <kroq-gar78> rhineheart_m: I think bum is GUI
[05:20] <madoo> i want ubuntu gnome but i have ubuntu 10 10 can i get in terminal
[05:21] <kroq-gar78> madoo: gnome 3? gnome-shell you mean?
[05:21] <rhineheart_m> would it work in terminal?
[05:21] <madoo> yes gnome like if i want xubuntu
[05:22] <rhineheart_m> would bum work in terminal/
[05:22] <kroq-gar78> madoo: so you want xubuntu/xfce, right?
[05:23] <madoo> no i want ubuntu gonome
[05:23] <kroq-gar78> madoo: ubuntu always uses GNOME/GTK; even Unity uses GNOME
[05:23] <rhineheart_m> or I can I simple use a script to disable some services in start-up?
[05:23] <cliffybx> anyone here know how to use backtrack?
[05:24] <kroq-gar78> cliffybx: in what way?
[05:24] <madoo> aha
[05:24] <urlin2u> cliffybx, backtrack is not upported
[05:24] <madoo> okey what if i want xubuntu
[05:24] <amin`> guys i have this nasty problem with terminal emulators; which is the title bar. for example; i have 6 aterms and in  taskbar or alt+tab all say aterm; how could the titlebar be change to current command running or the current directroy it is i; for exaple if i use aria2 it says aria2c .. and if i and in ~/.config the tiltebar say ~/.config ?
[05:24] <amin`> can anyone tell me if i am i chann el
[05:24] <Raliegh> How do I check a programs' version in Ubuntu?
[05:24] <kroq-gar78> rhineheart_m: just to make boot times faster or is there underlying problem?
[05:25] <kroq-gar78> Raliegh: "dpkg -s {package} | grep Version"
[05:25] <madoo> can u undearstand me
[05:25] <kroq-gar78> madoo: "sudo apt-get install xfce"
[05:25] <Raliegh> Sexy, thanks.
[05:25] <kroq-gar78> Raliegh: ;)
[05:25] <kroq-gar78> madoo: my bad it should be "sudo apt-get install xfce4"
[05:26] <maum> how can I refresh genome do list?
[05:26] <rhineheart_m> kroq-gar78: yes. very much.. coz a certain script/command is trying to shutdown the system after a certain time using sleep command
[05:26] <maum> I cannot run the program by using gnome do
[05:26] <madoo> and what if i wanna debian
[05:26] <rhineheart_m> so would like to remove the service...
[05:26] <kroq-gar78> rhineheart_m: should be "sudo update-rc.d {servicename} remove" right?
[05:26] <SunTsu> madoo: then you're wrong here
[05:27] <kroq-gar78> madoo: Debian is a distro. It can run many DE's e.g. GNOME 2, GNOME 3, XFCE, LXDE
[05:27] <rhineheart_m> kroq-gar78: will try that
[05:28] <rhineheart_m> kroq-gar78: PID is the name of the process right?
[05:28] <lotus> So, I have two versions of python installed on my system and I want to install a package which requires use of python < 2.7, but I can't convince the program that I have python2.6.  I've changed the link /usr/bin/python to point to python2.6, but dpkg -i still insists that the python version on my system is 2.7.1 -- any advice on how to get dpkg -i to use my python2.6?
[05:28] <bullgard4> In Firefox 3.6.24 there are open 31 tabs. What is the simplest way to store the URLs off all the 31 tabs in a directory?
[05:28] <kroq-gar78> madoo: Ubuntu is a distro, too; Xubuntu is just plain Ubuntu but with XFCE as the default DE/look, not regular Unity/GNOME 2
[05:28] <rhineheart_m> or the service name? or... how to get the service name of it? it displays using "ps ux"
[05:28] <cliffybx> what is a distro?
[05:29] <rhineheart_m> cliffybx: google is your friend
[05:29] <amin`> hello
[05:29] <amin`> guys i have this nasty problem with terminal emulators; which is the title bar. for example; i have 6 aterms and in  taskbar or alt+tab all say aterm; how could the titlebar be change to current command running or the current directroy it is i; for exaple if i use aria2 it says aria2c .. and if i and in ~/.config the tiltebar say ~/.config ?
[05:29] <bullgard4> cliffybx: "distro" is short for (Linux) distribution.
[05:30] <kroq-gar78> rhineheart_m: is it a service or a process?
[05:30] <kroq-gar78> rhineheart_m: if its a service, then use the command I previously I gave you. If it's a process, then here's the command to kill it: "killall {procname}"
[05:31] <kroq-gar78> cliffybx: Linux is just a kernel. Ubuntu is the Linux kernel with a bunch of other free programs.
[05:32] <kroq-gar78> cliffybx: nobody really just distributes a plain kernel to an end-user. also, "distro" is an abbreviation of "distribution"
[05:32] <rhineheart_m> kroq-gar78: it can be killed usingkill -9 `ps -aef | grep 'sleep 1800' | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}'`
[05:32] <madoo> i need some thing have 3d like when i open windo and  clooth
[05:32] <CharminTheMoose> Hey all, I've built a natty-based chroot environment, no X. Is it possible to upgrade it to oneiric?
[05:32] <madoo> watch this vedio and u will undearstand
[05:32] <madoo> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCOBhUpV9XA&feature=relmfu
[05:33] <rhineheart_m> kroq-gar78: so the question is..how to autokill or remove it totally from the system?
[05:33] <cliffybx> >kroq-gar78 thanks =)
[05:34] <undefined0> how do i make plasma desktop as my default UI?
[05:34] <kroq-gar78> rhineheart_m: do "which {programname}"
[05:34] <kroq-gar78> undefined0: the default is the one you last used
[05:34] <xbonesx> Could someone help me to install 11.04 to my pen drive? I dont want to use it as a live cd, i actually want the OS installed to the pendrive...
[05:35] <cliffybx> how to make download in Ubuntu more faster?
[05:35] <xbonesx> Or maybe a tutorial, i can read lol
[05:35] <kroq-gar78> xbonesx: 1. make sure flashdrive is >2GB, mnore like 4GB
[05:35] <smw> cliffybx, axel (or axel-gtk)
[05:35] <xbonesx> I have a 4gb
[05:35] <kroq-gar78> cliffybx: torrent
[05:35] <rhineheart_m> kroq-gar78: /bin/sleep
[05:35] <undefined0> xbonesx, http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[05:35] <madoo> xfce 4 a this good like ubuntu 10.10
[05:35] <kroq-gar78> undefined0: that's still a live img
[05:35] <cliffybx> thanks..and how to change DNS server
[05:36] <kroq-gar78> cliffybx: look at the file "/etc/resolv.conf"
[05:36] <kroq-gar78> cliffybx: if you want to do it by command line
[05:36] <metaspike> xbonesx, just point the installer on the installation cd to your usb drive instead of the hard-drisk, i suggest you format as ext3
[05:36] <kroq-gar78> metaspike: then it will install bootloader on the harddrive!
[05:36] <cliffybx> bash: /etc/resolv.conf: Permission denied..i cannot access it
[05:37] <xbonesx> undefined0: I believe that will only allow me to run a "live" session...
[05:37] <kroq-gar78> xbonesx: use Ubuntu startup image creator or Unetbootin and say "use persistent image" at the bottom
[05:37] <undefined0> kroq-gar78, i'm using the netbook interface.. btw i'm on my netbook, i don't the look and feel of the UI
[05:37] <kroq-gar78> undefined0: have you isntalled KDE yet?
[05:37] <xbonesx> kroq-gar78: ok, but this will not work for a 2gb?
[05:37] <kroq-gar78> KDE is plasma, right?
[05:37] <madoo> hello
[05:37] <undefined0> kroq-gar78, yes by using apt-get
[05:37] <kroq-gar78> xbonesx: my bad, it will that way, sorry :P
[05:38] <kroq-gar78> undefined0: so just log in using KDE/plasma and then log back out, and it should be default now
[05:38] <kroq-gar78> madoo: yes?
[05:38] <xbonesx> kroq-gar78: which application do you prefer? is there one that will run from windows to create the install?
[05:39] <madoo> xfce 4 its good like ubuntu
[05:39] <kroq-gar78> xbonesx: Unetbootin should work on windows
[05:39] <kroq-gar78> madoo: yes, I like xfce4 and its like Ubuntu, but LXDE is nice too.
[05:39] <kroq-gar78> :D
[05:39] <rhineheart_m> kroq-gar78: after I executed "which sleep 1800" it gives me /bin/sleep ....
[05:39] <bullgard4> In Firefox 3.6.24 there are open 31 tabs. What is the simplest way to store the URLs off all the 31 tabs in a directory?
[05:39] <madoo> haw i can get lxde in terminal
[05:40] <cliffybx> why ubuntu locked the file system
[05:40] <kroq-gar78> rhineheart_m: do you know which process is doing the autocall on sleep?
[05:40] <madoo> can you tellme please
[05:40] <rhineheart_m> kroq-gar78: I don't know.. can't figure out..
[05:40] <kroq-gar78> madoo: "sudo apt-get install lxde" it's a big download. to make it smaller (less extra programs, not necessary): "sudo apt-get install lxde-core"
[05:40] <kroq-gar78> !patience | madoo
[05:41] <xbonesx> kroq-gar78: thanks i will check it out
[05:41] <kroq-gar78> xbonesx: np
[05:41] <usr13> bullgard4: When you attempt to close Firefox, aren't you presented with the option to save the session?
[05:42] <jeaton1> I tried to setup a user that is automatically logged in, but something screwed up and I can't change, any idea how I can through terminal
[05:42] <usr13> bullgard4: Or, are you really wanting to create a file that contains those 3 URLs.
[05:42] <usr13> ?
[05:42] <kroq-gar78> usr13: he wants a txt type of file
[05:43] <jeaton1> I can't change because I can't get passed the login screen
[05:44] <madoo> haw i can unstall ubuntu 10.10 in terminal to make lxde alone
[05:44] <usr13> bullgard4: kroq-gar78 Firefox doesn't have a provision for that function that I'm aware of and so I'd say you'd just have to do it manually, copy and paste them into a file, maybe with cat >  and cat >> or just a GUI editor...?
[05:44] <kroq-gar78> jeaton1: which version Ubuntu, maybe that'll get some others to help
[05:44] <jeaton1> 11.10
[05:44] <kroq-gar78> madoo: you have to uninstall the other DE's, but not sure if that's so good an idea to do that
[05:44] <Ben64> jeaton1: you have to start ubuntu up in single user mode, and then you can set a password
[05:45] <kroq-gar78> madoo: you sure you want LXDE alone? only real reason IMO is just to free space by removing the other ones. Also, investigate Lubuntu.
[05:45] <xbonesx> kroq-gar78: Do you think I would be able to install it to a 2gb pendrive? as long as im not trying to store anything on the drive?
[05:45] <madoo> i will restart and see i done naw
[05:45] <kroq-gar78> xbonesx: well, updates might be messy when installing; take up TONS of space 1st time
[05:45] <madoo> do you wanna tell me abut enythiing befor i do
[05:45] <kroq-gar78> madoo: don't restart the machine
[05:45] <kroq-gar78> madoo: just log out and log back in
[05:45] <kroq-gar78> wait
[05:46] <urlin2u> xbonesx, full install 2 gigs no with unetbootin you just need one gig.
[05:46] <madoo> thankiss i will
[05:46] <kroq-gar78> madoo: log out and select "LXDE Session" at the gear next to ur name
[05:46] <jeaton1> I've done that already, got a passwd setup, it just automatically tries to log in then kicks me out
[05:46] <kroq-gar78> madoo: which version of ubuntu?
[05:46] <Ben64> jeaton1: if you have a password set up, you can get to a terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1
[05:46] <jeaton1> I just need to disable log me in automatically
[05:47] <kroq-gar78> xbonesx: yes, w/ Unetbootin you only really need 1GB (actually 700MB) if all you want is LiveCD-type functionality...
[05:47] <jeaton1> I have access to terminal, I just need to modify whatever file to disable automatic login
[05:48] <madoo> is nuthing change still ubuntu 10.10
[05:48] <Ben64> jeaton1: /etc/gdm/custom.conf
[05:48] <madoo> i want to unstallit plz
[05:48] <kroq-gar78> madoo: my bad if it's 10.10 at the bottom there is something
[05:48] <jeaton1> Thank you
[05:48] <kroq-gar78> madoo: don't uninstall nothing bad happnd
[05:48] <kroq-gar78> madoo
[05:48] <sunit> cd roms and usb drives are not getting auto mounted pls help
[05:48] <madoo> yes
[05:48] <kroq-gar78> madoo: wait, lemme think...
[05:48] <madoo> okey
[05:49] <kroq-gar78> madoo: at the bottom of your login screen, there is a dropdown menu that should say "GNOME Session" or something like that. Click it, then select "LXDE Session". log in as normal. the Applications are located at the bottom left of your screen then.
[05:50] <xbonesx> urlin2u: thanks, kroq-gar78: alright ill give it a go
[05:50] <usr13> sunit: ps aux |grep udevd  #See if udevd is running or not?
[05:51] <bullgard4> usr13: Ok. Thank you for commenting.
[05:51] <jeaton1> There are no gdm dir in etc/
[05:52] <kroq-gar78> jeaton which version of Ubuntu again?
[05:52] <jeaton1> 11.10
[05:52] <usr13> sunit: What Desktop Environment are you running?
[05:52] <kroq-gar78> jeaton1: ah that's why. 11.10 got rid of GDM. It's LightDM now. don't know if you can apply the same solution there too
[05:52] <madoo> no nothingi get
[05:53] <rhineheart_m> kroq-gar78: is this issue complicated? please tell me.. :)
[05:53] <madoo> but i remembear something i can typ in terminal to remove ubuntu 10.10
[05:53] <kroq-gar78> rhineheart_m: yes, I'm afraid it's more than a little complicated :(
[05:54] <kroq-gar78> madoo: don't do that. why do you want to do this again? just mess around with the looks of ubuntu (perfectly fine; I do too)?
[05:54] <sunit> usr13:pls see the URL http://pastebin.com/wwm6RDEU
[05:54] <rhineheart_m> kroq-gar78: sleep process should not be present in ubuntu box correct? unless there's a script which calls/creates it?
[05:55] <madoo> i log out and back but i didnt see what you tell me i dont know why
[05:55] <Raliegh> Okay... I'm trying to run VLC on my Ubuntu server, but I keep getting d-buss errors. Who wants to help me with a long debugging process?
[05:55] <Raliegh> d-bus *
[05:55] <kroq-gar78> rhineheart_m: sleep is just like the "wait" command I think. it SHOULD be present. but yes, some script is calling it
[05:56] <kroq-gar78> madoo: at the bottom of your login menu, is there a dropdown list?
[05:56] <rhineheart_m> kroq-gar78: is there a way to know what are those scripts that trigger it?
[05:56] <usr13> sunit: So, udevd is, in fact, running.  So, what Desktop Environment are you using?
[05:56] <madoo> no
[05:56] <Raliegh> http://pastebin.com/u4dGi1Y2  <--- That's the output of trying to run VLC, lol.
[05:56] <kroq-gar78> rhineheart_m: not as far as I know...
[05:56] <jeaton1> Got it working, thanks
[05:56] <kroq-gar78> madoo: do you install Kubuntu or Xubuntu when you first installed or is it plain "Ubuntu"
[05:57] <kroq-gar78> jeaton1: lol we didn't even do anything really :P
[05:57] <madoo> i was have ubuntu 10.10 but i did change in tirmenal like you tell me after i log in is noting change still 10.10
[05:58] <madoo> its frist timei do
[05:58] <jeaton1> You told me it was lightdm which I used to access it
[05:58] <kroq-gar78> madoo: look up "ubuntu change desktop environment" on google maybe I'm not explaining it well :(
[05:59] <madoo> okey
[05:59] <metaspike> Raliegh, sudo adduser raliegh video
[05:59] <metaspike> for example.
[05:59] <Raliegh> What's up? Why would I need to add a user?
[05:59] <metaspike> not add a user, but add user raliegh to the video group
[06:00] <Resistance> Raliegh:  that's what the command that metaspike gave you does
[06:00] <Raliegh> Oh... I don't even have a video group? I don't think that's where those errors are coming from?
[06:00] <Raliegh> Those errors are when it's run as root.
[06:01] <rhineheart_m> kroq-gar78: what if identifying what commands are being executed during the boot up process? do you think I can pin it down in that approach?
[06:02] <kroq-gar78> rhineheart_m: not sure...  What is "X"?
[06:03] <kroq-gar78> madoo: look here https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/config-desktop/C/other-desktops.html look at steps 2-5
[06:03] <kroq-gar78> Raliegh: the entire GUI
[06:03] <metaspike> how are you running vlc? with sudo? because you dont want to.
[06:04] <kroq-gar78> Raliegh: agreed, you probably don't want to run VLC w/ sudo
[06:04] <Nach0z> Raliegh: x.org is the window manager for Linux. it's how anything visual is there. if there was no X, it'd be only command-line.
[06:04] <Raliegh> kroq-gar78 I initially didn't have GUI installed on my machine, but I did "apt-get install lxde" a while ago. I'm not using sudo, it's just straight off root.
[06:05] <metaspike> Raliegh, yeah, install xdm. reboot and login as normal user.
[06:05] <metaspike> if you dont have one, create one with "adduser username"
[06:05] <kroq-gar78> metaspike: why? he installed lxde and therefore X
[06:05] <Raliegh> Is that going to kill RAM or anything? How large is it? And my normal user is root, heh.
[06:05] <kroq-gar78> Raliegh: root shouldn't be normal user!
[06:05] <kroq-gar78> !sudo | Raliegh
[06:06] <shadowe9899> Raliegh: using root as your main user is a bad idea
[06:06] <madoo> hellp
[06:06] <Raliegh> It's a server, I never hop on it to do anything other than to add/remove/modify system files and packages. Why use sudo and not root when I don't use it as a normal computer?
[06:06] <kroq-gar78> madoo: look here https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/config-desktop/C/other-desktops.html look at steps 2-5
[06:07] <madoo> okey
[06:07] <shadowe9899> Raliegh: I run quite a few linux servers. running programs as root is a huge security risk
[06:07] <metaspike> Raliegh, even a server needs user accounts, because otherwise everyone who accesses the computer is logged in as root... lol
[06:07] <kroq-gar78> Raliegh: never know what you do might screw over your system
[06:07] <shadowe9899> Raliegh: if one program gets compromised then ur entire server is hacked
[06:07] <usr13> Raliegh: ... and why would you attempt to initiate a VNC session with it?
[06:07] <Raliegh> Initiate a vnc session with it? I didn't...?
[06:08] <Raliegh> I do initiate vnc sessions with a user/group "ices", along with my Icecast server.
[06:08] <usr13> Raliegh: " http://pastebin.com/u4dGi1Y2  <--- That's the output of trying to run VLC"
[06:08] <kroq-gar78> metaspike: everyone-is-root = your-dead-computer = arrow-to-the-knee >----(computer)--->
[06:08] <Raliegh> VLC ~= VNC?
[06:08] <Raliegh> != *
[06:08] <badicalia> howdy
[06:08] <usr13> Raliegh: Oh, VLC  sorry...
[06:09] <Raliegh> No problem. :)
[06:09] <kroq-gar78> lol
[06:09] <usr13> ... it's getting late ...
[06:09] <kroq-gar78> meh only midnight :P
[06:10] <Raliegh> So anyways, any idea how I would fix those errors?
[06:10] <Raliegh> I have lxde installed
[06:10] <badicalia> when usung a custom edid: why is it that the first time xorg starts, it ignores the custom edid?
[06:10] <badicalia> after restarting xorg it works
[06:11] <metaspike> Raliegh - adduser "username" && adduser "username" video audio wheel && apt-get install xdm ... otherwise, carry on but dont expect programs to work as they would under a user account, as they do in a root account.
[06:11] <Raliegh> metaspike, even trying to run VLC under my user I get the same exact errors.
[06:11] <Raliegh> So that isn't the issue.
[06:11] <Raliegh> Also I have lxde installed... somebody said that means I have "X" whatever?
[06:11] <kroq-gar78> yup
[06:12] <kroq-gar78> you should
[06:12] <shadowe9899> lxde, gnome, kde, etc all run on X
[06:12] <Raliegh> Then what do I dooo? xD
[06:13] <Raliegh> I mean, I'm so lost.
[06:13] <kroq-gar78> Raliegh: basically, ignore all this nonsense about "X" whatever first
[06:13] <Raliegh> Good, I'm starting to hate that letter.
[06:15] <metaspike> Raliegh, i gave you a command solider! (ahem) ... replace "username" with username of your choice. it also ensures that "user" is added into the basic groups which allow things like vlc to work.
[06:16] <Raliegh> D:< I already have my user/group "ices" in sudoers and it can run things fine, but I'm still getting that D-buss error.
[06:17] <metaspike> and ices is in video and audio user groups also?
[06:18] <Raliegh> The only group I have on my system is "ices"?
[06:18] <metaspike> adduser ices video audio ices
[06:18] <metaspike> then try again with ices
[06:20] <Raliegh> adduser: Only one or two names allowed.
[06:21] <metaspike> ok then,,, adduser ices video && adduser ices audio && adduser ices ices    - there's probably a better way to do this
[06:21] <metaspike> also ensure dbus is actually running? service dbus start
[06:21] <aBound> Has anybody successfully installed Ubuntu 10.04.3 directly onto a USB flash drive?
[06:22] <Raliegh> Yeah it's running
[06:23] <metaspike> aBound, if you can get the live iso onto a usb drive, you can chance the initrd options to determine persistence mode.
[06:24] <aBound> metaspike, Doubt I'd need too, more than likely just need to get it to boot without any errors.
[06:25] <metaspike> aBound, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent   --- you could somehow install it as a full install, but it would probably only work with the computer it was installed for.
[06:25] <skegeek> I've been having a problem with Ubuntu freezing. I tried using Xfce instead of Gnome and for the first time Screen saver came up, however,  a little while later it still froze. Using Gnome the screen saver never comes up, does this mean the freezing is related to screen saver?
[06:26] <aBound> metaspike, Only downside is I received two errors when trying to boot Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS from a usb flash drive.
[06:27] <aBound> skegeek, If you're using Ubuntu 11.10 at the moment. It is  bit unstable seeing as it's more of a bleeding edge release.
[06:28] <aBound> metaspike, Been getting the first error as such: Unable to find a medium containing a live file system. It's everywhere on google and even tells me on the Ubuntu wiki that it has usb flash drive problems.
[06:28] <aBound> metaspike, Figured there might be a workaround or somewhat.
[06:29] <mysteriousdarren> make sure you check your .iso
[06:30] <aBound> Some people suggested that I changed the boot sequence to no luck. Figures, if I should buy a blank CD tomorrow if any stores are open to try it.
[06:30] <aBound> Works flawlessly in virtualbox.
[06:30] <almoxarife> aBound: the usb does not mount on startup?
[06:30] <metaspike> skegeek, yeah- 11.10 is as to sid is to debian. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze  - you might find that installing a different video driver will help
[06:31] <almoxarife> aBound: does your bios allow you to do a startup from usb?
[06:31] <aBound> almoxarife, Once the computer is rebooted I hit F7 to boot from the Sandisk flash drive and it goes to a black screen giving me the error. Afterwards I have to hit [tab] and type: live. Then it gives me another error.
[06:32] <skegeek> Well, I have Intel Mobile 965 Express Chipset, I'm not sure what -other- driver I should get.
[06:32] <metaspike> skegeek, there is no other. have you modified xorg.conf
[06:33] <almoxarife> skegeek: its not the graphics, if the gnome screen saver works, then you have excluded graphics
[06:33] <skegeek> No, should I?
[06:33] <metaspike> no..
[06:33] <skegeek> Screen saver doesn't come up in Gnome, it comes up in Xfce
[06:33] <aBound> almoxarife, I changed the BIOS so that the USB flash drive can boot from boot sequence 1 and to no luck.
[06:35] <almoxarife> skegeek: gnome was installed how? you seem to have dabbled into different desktops, you sure gnome is still intact?
[06:35] <aBound> almoxarife, I figure maybe if I could get a earlier version such as Ubuntu 8.04 and somehow upgrade to 10.04. I also tried to install Debian onto a flash drive through Startup Disk Creator. But there is a known bug that prevents it.
[06:36] <skegeek> Gnome is default, I added Xubuntu-desktop via repository
[06:37] <skegeek> I know it isn't a hardware problem, because Windows doesn't have a problem.
[06:38] <metaspike> 11.10?
[06:38] <skegeek> Yes.
[06:39] <almoxarife> skegeek: if you don't want to fixated on gnome screensaver do this, install x-screen-saver, remove gnome-screen-saver, add s-screen-saver to your start up apps, configure x-screen saver to your taste
[06:39] <skegeek> Could it have something to do with an error that wubuilder (or something like that) could not be found at boot time?
[06:40] <almoxarife> skegeek: a wubi install?
[06:40] <skegeek> Yes.
[06:40] <aBound> Looks like I'll give Ubuntu 9.10 a run.
[06:41] <almoxarife> skegeek: should not matter once the OS boots up, the wubuilder bug has to do with losing grub
[06:41] <skegeek> Okay.
[06:42] <skegeek> It would help if I could figure out if the freezes are caused by the screen saver trying to work.
[06:43] <almoxarife> skegeek: you said you didn't have screensaver hang in xubuntu, it uses x-screen-saver
[06:43] <paulsomebody> Greetings, everyone.
[06:43] <paulsomebody> How do I check what audio driver I am running?
[06:44] <skegeek> In Xubuntu a yellow stars screen saver comes up, however it did eventually freeze. In Gnome the screen saver never comes up at all.
[06:45] <metaspike> skegeek-  sudo apt-get install apt-listbugs && apt-listbugs -s all list *  -  install apt-listbugs and list all registered bugs on this system.
[06:46] <aBound> paulsomebody, Go into your terminal and type: lspci. For a list of hardware.
[06:46] <paulsomebody> aBound: Thanks. :)
[06:46] <aBound> paulsomebody, Welcome.
[06:46] <almoxarife> skegeek: you are full of surprises, so it hangs regardless of your choice of screen-saver, forget my earlier suggestion, don't install x-xscreen-saver, look at your logs for obvious issues
[06:48] <metaspike> at any rate it may give you some perspective, what I would do, if I where you. is  - sudo aptitude purge  - anything with a severve bugs. and use rcconf to cut anything that isnt required. 11.10 is crazy land, the best you can do is try to eliminate the problems or find hacky workarounds.
[06:49] <metaspike> or if your lucky, appropriate solutions... but that takes abit more than clicking the provided menus./
[06:53] <skegeek> Which logs should I target then? Gnome, X, or ?
[06:57] <metaspike> skegeek, if you use apt-listbugs - then saw that /gnome or /x or /xscreensaver or whatever had an obvious bug registered, then it would make sense to look into that programs log for a workaround, or just remove it entirely. if you think it's xscreensaver, remove it, it's not even required. sudo apt-get purge xscreensaver*
[06:57] <dragoneye> two gfx cards with two dvi's each,  have tree monitors,  nvidia-settings says i have to use seperate X on card number two, no windowmanager on that one, no input, can open apps, but no input.  wierd, any solutions to this problem?  :-)
[06:58] <skegeek> apt-listbugs wasn't found, however it was referred to by something else.
[06:59] <orly_ow> is there a way to movie a file while it is still downloading in firefox?
[06:59] <dragoneye> nope
[07:00] <dragoneye> oh sorry, I thought you sayd move, hehe
[07:00] <dragoneye> yes of corse you can play it while downing ;-)
[07:00] <ArchangelOKC> I need some help with a Toshiba Satellite...
[07:00] <aBound> orly_ow, Install VLC and it should work.
[07:01] <orly_ow> err
[07:01] <orly_ow> *move
[07:01] <orly_ow> typo
[07:01] <orly_ow> move, yes
[07:01] <orly_ow> not play
[07:01] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: shoot, I use it
[07:01] <dragoneye> then the answer is "pause download, move .part file and make link to new place , and restart download from browser..."   ... ?
[07:02] <orly_ow> its megaupload, not allowed to resume downloads >_>
[07:03] <almoxarife> dragoneye: let me guess, you want to watch what you are d/l?
[07:03] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: ok, well, I installed 11.10 on my girlfriend's dad's laptop (mine's a sony), and I can't get the webcam to work...it looks for it in /dev/video0...but no luck...
[07:03] <TJRana> Hello, now I am stuck setting up ubuntu. I wanted to make a DNS Server so I am using the following website for a step-by-step tutorial: http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=Ubuntu_11.04&p=dns&f=1 The only problem is I don't know what my global IP address is in brackets. I do know my global IP adress but not the one in brackets. And what is my private IP adress? and what would it look like in brackets? Thank you.
[07:04] <dragoneye> almoxerife: no helping orly_ow, he typo so i thoght he ment play, but he ment move... if im correct?
[07:04] <orly_ow> yes
[07:04] <orly_ow> move
[07:04] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: 'it' ? what app does not see it?
[07:04] <badicalia> get weird f
[07:04] <dragoneye> orly_ow: did you try my sugestion?
[07:04] <dragoneye> +g
[07:04] <orly_ow> i will if i have to
[07:05] <orly_ow> right now im just deleting stuff
[07:05] <dragoneye> k :-)
[07:05] <dragoneye> lol, i know the feeling!
[07:05] <ArchangelOKC> skype, camorama and cheese
[07:06] <MeirD> Hello. I wanna do the following:  cd /somedir && echo "success" || { echo"failure"; exit }
[07:06] <MeirD> That is, have several commands in the "or" (||) part
[07:06] <MeirD> The above does not seem to work
[07:07] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: skype, camorama and cheese
[07:08] <thanatoid> .
[07:08] <dragoneye> any  thoughts on my X annoyance?  ;-)
[07:08] <dragoneye> two gfx cards with two dvi's each,  have tree monitors,  nvidia-settings says i have to use seperate X on card number two, no windowmanager on that one, no input, can open apps, but no input.  wierd, any solutions to this problem?  :-)
[07:09] <prince_jammys> MeirD: need semicolon before the closing '}', and space after second echo
[07:09] <Jordan_U> MeirD: if cd /somedir; then echo success; else echo failure; exit; fi
[07:09] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: can you pastebin /var/log/xorg.0.log please?
[07:09] <rumpe1> MeirD, the part after && won't be executed when cd fails. Use $? like   "cd somedir ; echo $?". It stores the last exit value (1: fail, 0: sucess)
[07:09] <MeirD> thnx!
[07:10] <dragoneye> would like to have tree screens desktop , but the desktop on screen tree wich is on a seperate gfx card is f*ing up...
[07:11] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: the file is empty...
[07:11] <dragoneye> due to my new X-Plane  flight simulator :-D
[07:12] <ArchangelOKC> o wait nvm
[07:12] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: can you pastebin /var/log/xorg.1.log please?
[07:12] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: have to sign up first, hold on
[07:13] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: sign up?
[07:13] <dragoneye> let me refrase:   howto get ximerama on tree monitors with two gfx cards?  ;-)
[07:14] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: sorry lol never used that site before - http://pastebin.com/RvgPVfQy
[07:14] <MeirD> another question... If I want to use "mkdir ~/a/b" but I dont have directory a as well
[07:14] <dragoneye> mkdir -p
[07:14] <MeirD> linux will say it is not possible to create "b" since "a" does not exist... Is there anyway to tell it to build the all tree?
[07:15] <MeirD> great!
[07:15] <MeirD> why didnt I find that in the man :P damn
[07:15] <MeirD> thnx
[07:15] <dragoneye> :-)
[07:16] <Awolf> Morning to all
[07:16] <dragoneye> m
[07:16] <dragoneye> merry christmast
[07:16] <Ale9Hack> Hi,I have a question, which I recommend filesystem btrfs or ext4
[07:17] <Awolf> merry christmass
[07:17] <dragoneye> Ale9Hack:   ssd:  btrfs,   hd: ext4
[07:18] <Ale9Hack> Thanks, I have a ssd
[07:18] <Ale9Hack>  merry christmass
[07:18] <dragoneye> same here ;-)
[07:19] <rhineheart_m> how to find a certain file in the whole system?
[07:19] <dragoneye> locate
[07:19] <dragoneye> find
[07:19] <Awolf> I have some question regarding a gentoo installation
[07:19] <Awolf> is this the appropriate place to ask
[07:19] <Awolf> or is there anywhere else anyone could direct me to
[07:20] <dragoneye> if you use locate do a : sudo updatedb first
[07:20] <aBound> Same here. :P
[07:20] <dragoneye> if find:    find <path> -iname myfile
[07:22] <rhineheart_m> dragoneye: what if I don't know the exact dir?
[07:22] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: the camera is a usb?
[07:22] <Awolf> i need to ask this if i use the livecd and download and install boot repair would it repair the grub.conf of a different OS other then ubuntu ? (the system is gentoo)
[07:22] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: it's the one built into the lid
[07:22] <dragoneye> rhineheart_m:  locate is fast, but may not do extarnal hd's,    find is slow but finds everything mounted in filesystem
[07:23] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: the install is what version and how old?
[07:23] <dragoneye> like: find / -iname dude.avi
[07:23] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: brand-new install, just did it yesterday
[07:23] <ArchangelOKC> akmoxarife: 11.10
[07:23] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: 11.10
[07:23] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: you used the desktop/alternate cd?
[07:24] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: yes
[07:24] <rhineheart_m> thanks dragoneye
[07:24] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: which, alternate or desktop? 32bit or 64 and what is the hardware? 32 or 64?
[07:24] <dragoneye> np
[07:25] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: desktop 64-bit running on 64-bit hardware
[07:25] <rhineheart_m> startup scripts are found usually in /etc/init.d or in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directories (sometimes /etc/init.d is a symlink to /etc/rc.d/init.d)... any other location?
[07:26] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: re-install, use the 'alternate' 64bit, insure the machine is hardwired to the internet while the install is taking place
[07:27] <clojure_0000> is ther ea way to tell ubuntu to get newtime from network? (running ubuntu in a vm; want it to keep time updated)
[07:28] <ZeloZelos> wow..never seen this channel go quiet for so long b4
[07:28] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: very slow internet connection here and the .iso takes forever to download....ne way to edit a file or something?
[07:29] <dragoneye> edit a downing file on the fly?  lol  no guess not, howto merge the following downed parts of the file then?
[07:29] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: use the bittorent d/l
[07:30] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: belive it or not, that actually goes slower on this connection :/
[07:30] <dragoneye> ArchengelOKC: missread your questing, sry.. yes, try bittorent,   gnome :  transmission
[07:31] <dragoneye> ArchengelOKC: search a bittorrent site after that file, if you cannot find it, then sry.
[07:32] <marz> Hi, does anyone know how to configure Ubuntu to connect to the Internet via a mobile device, specifically Globe SuperStick.
[07:32] <ArchangelOKC> dragoneye: using Qbittorrent for torrents, but the connection is so slow there's not much I can do about it - it's basically a 3G connection
[07:32] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: what is the chip set for that machine?? I thought it would be intel with intel graphics
[07:32] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: it's an AMD
[07:33] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: and the graphics?
[07:33] <marz> I can't seem to connect my computer to the Internet since Ubuntu won't connect to the Internet via the mobile device.
[07:33] <ArchangelOKC> AMD Raetheon I believe
[07:33] <marz> It automatically connects to the Internet in Windows though.
[07:34] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: you really need to do the 'alternate' install as discussed previously
[07:34] <dragoneye> ArchangelOKC: i use an usb cable and set the phone to usb modem, ubuntu should do the rest, if not click on the internet connection icon on the "taskbar"
[07:34] <ManDay> Hello, for which (free) service (e.g. GoogleTalk,Skype) are there well-working clients for Linux AND Windows; and what are they?
[07:35] <almoxarife> ManDay: google talk/voice/video , chrome/chromium
[07:35] <dragoneye> ManDay: mumble?
[07:35] <a34154ek> running ubuntu as a virtual machine, know anything fun to do?
[07:36] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: AMD FGLRX drivers - I know, but it'll take forever and a day and I have to go home tomorrow afternoon...I don't think I can get it all done before then...yes, it's that slow
[07:36] <dragoneye> a34154ek: run a virtual windows
[07:36] <ManDay> almoxarife: The browser as client?
[07:36] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: wait a second...maybe if I disable the propietary drivers?
[07:36] <almoxarife> ManDay: yep, simple, or too simple?
[07:37]  * dragoneye cheers
[07:37] <a34154ek> Dragoneye, already did that! Is there a limit to how deep you can go?
[07:37] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: you could try that, the issue is drivers, or load everyone of them
[07:37] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: brb
[07:37] <ManDay> almoxarife: Not my dream-solution. .
[07:37] <dragoneye> a34154ek: depends on you system recourses ;-)
[07:38] <dragoneye> +r
[07:38] <a34154ek> dragoneye, how deep have you gone yet?
[07:38] <almoxarife> ManDay: you want it more complicated?
[07:38] <dragoneye> a34154ek: deep!
[07:38] <a34154ek> dragoneye, how many layers?
[07:39] <almoxarife> ManDay: fine, load broke-dick skype on either end and enjoy the lag
[07:39] <dragoneye> a34154ek: dont know if there is any limit , but I dont see the point, may you explain your reason?
[07:39] <a34154ek> dragoneye, no reason :p
[07:39] <dragoneye> :-p
[07:39] <almoxarife> ManDay: how about pidgin? it will run nears anything these days
[07:41] <a34154ek> has any one here used backtrack?
[07:42] <almoxarife> !ot | a34154ek
[07:42] <a34154ek> almoxarife, does it support firefox, flash?
[07:42] <somsip> !backtrack | a34154ek
[07:43] <almoxarife> !ot | a34154ek
[07:45] <ManDay> almoxarife: Not more complicated. But a browser does't sit in n tray and it's 1st purpose is BROWSING. Tried Pidgin but it's Viedeo isn't working right.  Would you like to try again?
[07:48] <a34154ek> somsip, what do u mean?
[07:48] <somsip> !ot | a34154ek
[07:48] <a34154ek> !ot
[07:48] <Raliegh> Whhhhyyy? Whhhhyyyy VLC? Why u work on Windows but not Ubuntu?
[07:49] <almoxarife> Raliegh: how did you install vlc?
[07:49] <dragoneye> apt-get install vlc
[07:50] <Raliegh> Oh guys, I mean... It works
[07:50] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: that did it - the webcam works now...should have been the first thing I tried >_<
[07:50] <Raliegh> Just not the way I need it to.
[07:50] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: cool, :)
[07:51] <Raliegh> It's a VLC/Ubuntu problem, more-so on the VLC side. I'd explain here but it's highly doubtful anyone can help me, which sucks... Because I'm at such a loss.
[07:51] <marz> Can anyone help me configure Ubuntu so I can connect to the Internet using my Globe SuperStick
[07:51] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: I feel like an idiot XD
[07:51] <almoxarife> ArchangelOKC: don't let on to pops and the gf
[07:52] <ArchangelOKC> almoxarife: lmao, thanks for the help - have a good night guys, happy new year and such
[07:52] <pnorman> Raliegh: Well, you can be certain that if you don't explain it, no one can help you
[07:53] <Raliegh> pnorman, well, if you wish, though $10 says I won't even get a reply. Get ready for a wall of text.
[07:53] <marz> I'm having a hard time configuring Ubuntu to be able to connect to the Internet via my mobile device <---- specifically Globe Super Stick, anyone familiar with the issue?
[07:53] <pnorman> Raliegh: Oh, you could very well be right that no one can help you
[07:54] <pnorman> I'm pretty certain I wouldn't be able to help you, I don't use VNC at all
[07:54] <Raliegh> VLC
[07:54] <Raliegh> Not VNC
[07:55] <pnorman> Oh, I do use VLC (on Windows)
[07:55] <dragoneye> vlc is build on mplayer?
[07:56] <almoxarife> dragoneye: no
[07:56] <Raliegh> Okay, so I've installed VLC properly on Ubuntu 11.04. I've tested encoding with the "fixed" FFMPEG encoders by saving it as a local file, and it succesfully encodes a live OGG stream to MPEG when saving locally. However, when I use the SOUT ability (push that encoded stream back into Icecast)... It sort of works. The mount gets opened, it logs in fine, and metadata gets passed... However, the
[07:56] <Raliegh> stream does not actually become encoded and there is no sound. Now using the EXACT SAME METHOD on my Windows computer... It works perfectly. The stream gets opened, meta-data gets passed, and the stream is encoded in MPEG. I've cross-referenced the log files and they're both nearly identical.
[07:58] <dragoneye> Raliegh:  aptitude install non-free-codecs         ????
[07:58] <urlin2u> Raliegh, vlc has a pretty big forum might you try there?
[07:59] <Raliegh> I installed a medibuntu repository and installed fixed FFMPEG. It's been declared that the encoder works... Since it encodes the live stream and saves it as MPEG succesfully (tested in many different audio players for codec signature).
[07:59] <Raliegh> Also, last time I tried installing non-free-codecs I got a TON of errors at the end, that would persis with any command I ran. I think it had something to do with JDK.
[08:00] <Raliegh> And yeah, their forum is large... But kind of inactive. Trust me, I've got my posts there. :)
[08:00] <dragoneye> Raliegh:  apt-get -f
[08:00] <Raliegh> People in the IRC are baffled and at a loss too.
[08:01] <Raliegh> What does that command do dragoneye?
[08:01] <dragoneye> fix any dependensies errors....
[08:02] <Raliegh> Oh that's nice.
[08:02] <Black> Ow
[08:02] <Raliegh> Does anybody have a blank Ubuntu server I could test this on with non-free-codecs then? I reallllly don't want to have to go through another install.
[08:03] <pnorman> Raliegh: Could try VirtualBox or an EC2 instance
[08:03] <dragoneye> try linux mint 11 ,  it boots live...
[08:04] <Raliegh> Oooh, good point. I'll set-up a virtual server. VMWare ftw.
[08:04] <dragoneye> right on.
[08:05] <Raliegh> Oh God, 685MB.
[08:05] <Raliegh> I won't be testing anytime soon.
