[00:00] <AndrewEMT> Anyone able to tell me how to switch the repository to Oneric to get Steel Storm operating?
[00:00] <Jonii> So, I'll ask again: What's going on? Is Ubuntu simply wildly inferior compared to Windows in terms of energy comsumption, or is there something I could do to even this out?
[00:01] <willwork4foo> does anyone know how to get sound working over an HDMI link with Ubuntu 11.10 amd64>
[00:01] <willwork4foo> Google is not being all that helpful
[00:01] <SIFTU> Jonii: is it a new laptop?
[00:02] <AndrewEMT> I'm guessing silence means no one knows...
[00:04] <AndrewEMT> Seeing as how I've been all over Google to try to figure out how to switch a dang repository which happens to be a "commercial" one and there's nothing on google, that left this as my last option... anyone at all know how to fix this, its an actual bug that can be fixed by switching a repository is all... If someone cna tell me how to do it, I'll be all set
[00:04] <willwork4foo> yeah, I get that silence a lot anders_office
[00:04] <newb> Hello! My halt button desapeared from my KDE menu, and if I put, wih root, at terminal "halt", my system freezes at halt screen :-S
[00:04] <willwork4foo> woops
[00:04] <willwork4foo> a
[00:04] <willwork4foo> AndrewEMT:
[00:04] <dr_willis> havent tried xbmc auto ligin yet. but you could put xbmc in the autostart folder im guessing
[00:05] <willwork4foo> dr_willis: yeah I could, but that kind of defeats the point - I'm trying to get XBMC to load on it's own as a standalone
[00:05] <AndrewEMT> I feel for ya willwork4foo
[00:05] <willwork4foo> in order to waste minimal resources
[00:05] <dr_willis> newb:  sure you dont want shutdown, to power off.
[00:06] <willwork4foo> if I let my system load unity / whatever, THEN load XBMC - total waste of resources. And this box is an Atom-based 2GB RAM system that I want to put behind my TV
[00:06] <newb> dr_willis: ah, yes! thanks
[00:06] <willwork4foo> I'm installing gnome now so that I can use gdmsetup - perhaps that'll fix it!!!
[00:06] <newb> dr_willis: I want poweroff my machine
[00:06] <willwork4foo> Other question I've got - does anyone know how to get sound working properly over an HDMI link with Ubuntu?
[00:07] <dr_willis> willwork4foo:  i can test it later. you could see if starting via startx gives errors.
[00:07] <dr_willis> or see if it works with gdm instead of lightdm
[00:07] <wunderkin> hello, anyone from canonical here? i work for rightscale and we need a set of aki+ari in the new aws region to support our platform
[00:08] <willwork4foo> dr_willis: good tip, I'm switching to gdm and seeing if that works.
[00:08] <rofra__> ciao
[00:08] <AndrewEMT> nevermind, I figured it'd be a simple answer, nice how people just get ignored in here... Guess Ubuntu isn't really for the masses after all, maybe back to Windows for me. I see what my friends were talking about about these rooms and the rudeness!
[00:09] <dr_willis> willwork4foo: you could setup a lighter desktop if your own to just run xbmc also.
[00:09] <willwork4foo> dr_willis: how?
[00:09] <conntrack> Is it possible to send packets with non-ascii glyphs?
[00:09] <Cyberspaceloa> lol @ willwork4foo, nice handle
[00:09] <willwork4foo> I've been trying to work that one out
[00:09] <willwork4foo> thanks Cyberspaceloa

[00:12] <jewthulhu> it has all the codecs preinstalled

[00:14] <shintaku> i can't get ircd-hybrid to compile from the source package on x86_64.  i get make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/libpcre.a', needed by `ircd'.  Stop.
[00:14] <pangolin> Guest97035: don't advertise in here.
[00:14] <Cyberspaceloa> heh
[00:14] <ProxXy> willwork4foo: google gave me that as well...what does it mean? where do i type that? (i havent used ubuntu before)
[00:14] <shintaku> i tried getlibs, but it didn't seem to make a difference
[00:14] <shintaku> i also found this:  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/linux.debian.bugs.rc/rPjyYRk17LA/v6bMvkDEKZwJ
[00:15] <willwork4foo> ProxXy: click on the Ubuntu logo top left, type "term" in the box that comes up, launch the "terminal" program
[00:15] <willwork4foo> then copy & paste everything from the "sudo" forward: sudo apt-get install vlc ubuntu-restricted-extras
[00:15] <Guest97035> what does a firewall do
[00:15] <willwork4foo> it will ask for your password, then after a moment ask you if you want to continue
[00:16] <dr_willis> or use the software center icon ProxXy  and search and install the packages
[00:16] <willwork4foo> dr_willis: bah, new-fangled approach :-)
[00:16] <Guest97035> go to nathanlive.com
[00:16] <willwork4foo> bye bye Guest<blah>
[00:16] <dr_willis> willwork4foo:  and i dont think vlc uses the codeca. :-)
[00:16] <shintaku> and this:  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=640559
[00:16] <ProxXy> willwork4foo: what language is that you are using to do that?
[00:17] <willwork4foo> ProxXy: um….. not a language? that's apt. Where all this loveliness came from in the first place.
[00:17] <willwork4foo> just use the software centre
[00:17] <shintaku> how do i get 2-6.3.  i seem to get 2-6.2

[00:19] <ProxXy> thanks guys
[00:20] <Cyberspaceloa> ProxXy: it's really good to learn the terminal
[00:20] <Cyberspaceloa> many problems are much easier to fix with a little cli knowledge
[00:21] <Jonii> SIFTU: that kinda depends on your definition of "new"
[00:21] <dr_willis> easier to give cli answers on irc also
[00:21] <bobweaver> Hi there as some of you know I am working on a backup script. And I think I allmost got it down. The last thing that I am trying to do. Is name the folder that gets moved by rsync to year, month ,date, hour, and min . I have been testing some commands out on my machine ,and cant seem to get it working. I am doing something wrong. Here is test : cp -r test/ ~/`date +%Y%m%d%H%M_backup this just hangs
[00:22] <dr_willis> !manual
[00:22] <SIFTU> Jonii: oh I was wondering if it had hybrid graphics, which will chew batter unless you shut one down
[00:23] <lucas-arg> any one here knows how to make an usb tv stick decoder work???
[00:23] <dr_willis> bobweaver:  did you miss a ' in your paste ? a back quote
[00:24] <dr_willis> bobweaver:  use of $(command) is getting preferred these days also
[00:24] <ProxXy> Cyberspaceloa: i need to know the very basics of ubunut, so far all i know is that its based on an OS called linux, thats all.
[00:24] <sven_oostenbrink> Sh3r1ff: tried /etc/init.d/postresql start (should be same as service postgresql start) and got same result, nothing..
[00:24] <dr_willis> lucas-arg:  depwnds on the exact chipset its useing
[00:25] <sven_oostenbrink> anyone who might know why postgre may not start up?
[00:25] <lucas-arg> dr_willis, how do i know that?
[00:25] <sven_oostenbrink> postgresql on ubuntu, that is
[00:25] <dr_willis> ProxXy: time to do some reading looks like.
[00:26] <MonkeyDust> ProxXy: your a win user?
[00:26] <MonkeyDust> http://mybroadband.co.za/news/software/32474-a-windows-users-guide-to-linux.html
[00:26] <dr_willis> lucas-arg:  lsusb and lspci commands are normally ysed for that info
[00:26] <sven_oostenbrink> service postgresql status also does not give anything at all
[00:27] <dr_willis> bbl. got a job...
[00:27] <lucas-arg> dr_willis, Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1b80:a41c Afatech i think this is the one...
[00:27] <bonhoffer> this is so petty -- but how do i get the icon to show up when I switch via option + tab
[00:28] <bonhoffer> i get a big question mark now in 11.10
[00:28] <Guest73878> I have a graphics card problem when I boot that leaves me with a black screen. I booted in limited graphics mode but can not reset graphics setting to default. help?
[00:29] <willwork4foo> OK, so that didn't work. Now going to try installing Ubuntu Server (without any X installed then) and going thru the XBMCbuntu guide
[00:29] <Cyberspaceloa> Guest73878: What is the name of the graphics card you have?
[00:29] <bobweaver> dr_willis:  THANKS !!
[00:29] <Guest73878> Radeon HD 5670
[00:30] <Guest73878> It was working fine until I flipped the display output and rebooted.
[00:31] <Guest73878> I should say rotated
[00:31] <bonhoffer> i disabled ssh password access, but still connect by public key -- how do i re-enable

[00:34] <wbBlueDave> Hi everyone... would you please help me with my sony vaio touchpad scrolling problem?
[00:34] <Cyberspaceloa> Guest73878: You should note that if you change any system setting file, you should *always* back up your old one
[00:35] <willwork4foo> so I've just successfully hosed my system :-) never mind, back to the drawing board
[00:35] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave: what is the problem exactly?
[00:35] <Guest73878> Does anyone know how to reset graphics settings from recovery mode?
[00:35] <Jonii> SIFTU: what's hybrid graphics
[00:35] <bobweaver> dr_willis:  what do you mean that use $(command)  ?  sorry I still rock the one slice toaster :>)
[00:36] <Jonii> And anyway, anyone know if it's a standard feature of Ubuntu to drain battery faster than Windows does, or if it's some combination of hardware + ubuntu that's mismatched, or if there's some software setting that causes power to drain out very quickly
[00:36] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, i have a vaio laptop VPCEH running Ubu 11.10 ... the touchpad scrolling doesn't work... and i've followed the tuts that i've found over the internet ... configurin xorg.conf... editing grub.conf ... everything... still no dice
[00:37] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave: if you're using the synaptics touchpad driver, I might be able to help a bit
[00:37] <SIFTU> Jonii: some laptops have 2 GPU's and can switch between them, one is low powered (intel), then the high powered one kicks in when intesive apps use it (nvidia/ati)
[00:37] <bobweaver> dr_willis:  you mean declaring a var     var=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M`         cp -r ~/test ~/$var      ?  ssorry I am real new to all this
[00:38] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, great... and yes, its an ALPS synaptic touchpad ... i'd be very happy if you'll help me
[00:38] <wbBlueDave> :)
[00:38] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave: well I'll do what I can
[00:39] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, thank you very much for the support : )
[00:39] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave: if you type this command into a terminal, you should get output if you're using the synaptics driver: synclient -l
[00:39] <Jonii> SIFTU: how do I know if I have anything like that?
[00:40] <Jonii> Acer Aspire 1410
[00:40] <SIFTU> Jonii: you probably dont if its not a gen 2 intel proc
[00:40] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, error message «Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?»
[00:40] <Cyberspaceloa> hmm, yeah I don't think we're using the same driver
[00:41] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, i'm not even sure if i have the drivers installed or not :/
[00:41] <Urchin> how does ubuntu handle virtual terminals?

[00:44] <wbBlueDave> it's just that the scroll doesn't work
[00:44] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave: I see, just a sec
[00:45] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez: could ou please open your terminal and type in lspci -nn ;lsmod;rfkill list all                 and use paste.ubuntu.com
[00:45] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, try this command: dpkg --get-selections | grep xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
[00:46] <Cyberspaceloa> that should tell you for sure if synaptics is installed
[00:46] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  please use paste.ubuntu.com to paste all that to us thaks
[00:46] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: brb thx

[00:51] <Newrad2> bueller?
[00:52] <Cyberspaceloa> weird, okay hold on
[00:52] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, by the way... the touchpad it's not figuring on the xinput list... nor Pointing Devices :/
[00:53] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, what version of ubuntu are you running?
[00:53] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, ubu 11.10
[00:54] <wbBlueDave> fresh upgraded 2 days ago
[00:54] <wbBlueDave> but the problem persisted since 10.10 :(
[00:54] <Cyberspaceloa> k, I'm hopeful we can solve this, give me a few minutes
[00:55] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, all the time in the world... really it's such a long time that i'm tryin to solve this :/
[00:55] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: sorry but Im transferring the file from the laptop through bluetooth since I dont have other wayt to gather the output... I let you know soon..
[00:56] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez: take your time
[00:56] <vladimirsanchez> thx,
[00:58] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  I will be right back have to walk kernel (dog) :>)
[00:58] <vladimirsanchez> lol, nice
[01:01] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, have you encountered a solution that involved editing /etc/default/grub ?
[01:01] <wbBlueDave> yes ...
[01:01] <wbBlueDave> already done
[01:01] <wbBlueDave> adding LINUX_CMD_LINE
[01:01] <wbBlueDave> i8042.nopnp
[01:01] <wbBlueDave> or something like that
[01:02] <Cyberspaceloa> yep, okay just checking

[01:03] <padhu> I need an detailed sceen when booting. In grub 1, we edit the boot menu from quiet to noquiet. How can i made this in grub2 on ubuntu 10.04?
[01:05] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, i've also created a file in /etc/modprobe.d/ ... named psmouse.conf ... in this file i've added «options  psmouse proto=imps» ... nor this one worked

[01:06] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, did you read the thread where someone was booting into the wrong kernel?
[01:06] <histo> padhu: you can edit /etc/default/grub and the sudo update-grub
[01:06] <dr_willis> oops wrog nick. ;)
[01:06] <wbBlueDave> mmh no... i don't remember such thread
[01:06] <Cyberspaceloa> hold on
[01:07] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1265606
[01:07] <Cyberspaceloa> I think it is suspicious that you have synaptics installed through apt, but no output when you invoke the client
[01:08] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  sudo -i  then      echo b43 >> /etc/modules    then   exit   then reboot
[01:08] <Cyberspaceloa> we may be able to modprobe the driver in

[01:09] <|izzie> i'm jus' sayin'

[01:09] <dr_willis> install gnome-shell and have at it |izzie
[01:10] <vladimirsanchez> what is b43?
[01:10] <bobweaver> !nounity | |izzie`
[01:10] <dr_willis> Jonii:  thats always the case.  lack of manpower
[01:10] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  b43 is the driver for your wireless card well kinda
[01:10] <|izzie> thanks dr willis!
[01:10] <vladimirsanchez> oh
[01:10] <|izzie> thanks, bobweaver!
[01:11] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  in linux it is called a modual and then there is firmware and that is what makes up a wireless driver well kinda
[01:11] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, i've read the thread and no... it's not my case :/  the unam -a shapes well the grub kernel options
[01:11] <dr_willis> i thought b43 has been replaced by the sta driver/module in most cases? or am i confused again
[01:12] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: np, rebooted already.... do i need 'iwconfig key <key>' ?  and that sort of stuff?
[01:12] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  no just select the wireless symbol
[01:12] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, by the way ... another thing (don't know if it's relevant or not) but «cat /dev/psaux» gives me a Permission Denied erro
[01:13] <bobweaver> dr_willis:  the wl does also work for some chipsets that use the b43 see http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
[01:13] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: ok, it says "no network connection"
[01:13] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  the wireless symbol in the top right hand side ? in the panel ?
[01:14] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, right now I'm googling the error you get for synclient
[01:14] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: yep
[01:14] <Jonii> dr_willis: how about the suggestion of making a separate partition for root that's around 150mb in size?
[01:14] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  in terminal      iwlist scan
[01:14] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: didnt load?
[01:15] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  might need sudo iwlist scan
[01:15] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, do you have a section in your xorg.conf for the touchpad?
[01:15] <dr_willis> Jonii: 150mb for /? i make mine at least 10 to 30 gb.
[01:15] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  dont post that stuff
[01:15] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: iface doesnt support scanning
[01:15] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  dmesg | grep b43
[01:15] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, here it gets ugly ...
[01:15] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  any errors ?
[01:16] <vladimirsanchez> yep
[01:16] <bobweaver> firmware ?
[01:16] <|izzie> ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
[01:16] <|izzie> how GOOD it IS!
[01:16] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, before the upgrade i had my xorg.conf file ok ... now with ubu 11.10 it tells me that the drivers are controlled by HAL
[01:16] <vladimirsanchez> b43/ucode5.fw now found
[01:16] <dr_willis> |izzie:  huh?
[01:17] <Cyberspaceloa> ugh, okay
[01:17] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  this is old bug that I have seen
[01:17] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  hang on
[01:17] <vladimirsanchez> tried to download the file automatically but no network
[01:17] <Cyberspaceloa> they're making too many changes all at once
[01:17] <|izzie> dr_willis, i'm wearing gnome
[01:17] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: nice. thx a lot... this was my last chance
[01:17] <|izzie> *prance* can't you tell???
[01:17] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, the second ugly thing is that i've tryed to configure the touchpad in the xorg.conf file ... boot after rebooting ... X don't start anymore :/
[01:17] <dr_willis> |izzie:  unity uses gnome also....
[01:18] <|izzie> dr_willis, you just told me how to get it
[01:18] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: This machine is really nice but it's the end of the road for MacOS on it.
[01:18] <Alazair> so i just wanted to state that i finally completely dropped my samba shares in favor of instead running nfs on windows machines
[01:19] <Alazair> turns out its easier to make nfs work on windows then samba on linux
[01:19] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  mkdir Wireless
[01:19] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, did you back up your original xorg.conf?
[01:19] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez: cd Wireless
[01:19] <dr_willis> Alazair:  oh how did you get nfs on windows?
[01:19] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, yes ... as always
[01:19] <vladimirsanchez> k
[01:19] <vladimirsanchez> done
[01:19] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  wget  http://www.omattos.com/sites/default...all-fw.tar_.gz
[01:19] <Milos_SD> Hello
[01:20] <Cyberspaceloa> okay, well
[01:20] <Alazair> theres a couple of diffrent ways dr_willis  one such way is nfsaxe it works with xp but windows seven has built in NFS capabilities
[01:20] <Cyberspaceloa> some random things I can think of are to try and reinstall the synaptics touchpad driver through apt
[01:20] <Cyberspaceloa> or use dpkg-reconfigure
[01:20] <vladimirsanchez> got 404
[01:20] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  sudo cp -r ~/Wireless/* /lib/firmware/
[01:20] <dr_willis> Alazair:  win7 has it on some versions or all?
[01:20] <Milos_SD> I have a problem with slow scrolling in Ubuntu 11.10 (it started after the upgrade from 11.04). I have IBM ThinkPad T42 laptop with ATI Mobility Radeon 9600
[01:20] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  404 ?
[01:20] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: yep
[01:20] <bobweaver> you are not connected to the net DOH
[01:20] <vladimirsanchez> sorry
[01:21] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, which one first ? :)
[01:21] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, I usually try dpkg-reconfigure first
[01:21] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  on computer that you are on get this file http://www.omattos.com/sites/default/files/b43-all-fw.tar_.gz
[01:21] <Cyberspaceloa> just a sec
[01:21] <Miclee> ollehh
[01:21] <Alazair> dr_willis: im unsure as i havent tested seven yet just was reading on the seven part im thinking of turning my xp laptop that i game on into seven im sure its probably premium or better
[01:21] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  put it on a cd or a usb drive and bring it over to the ubuntu box
[01:22] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, scuse me for my noobness.. dpkg-reconfigure «something» ?  or just dpkg-reconfigure ?
[01:22] <optimusM> how do i fix grub in lnux?
[01:22] <Miclee>  ollehh
[01:22] <optimusM> linux
[01:22] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: np... tar -xvf ???
[01:22] <Alazair> dr_willis: here is a link to another way to get it working http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=310168
[01:22] <bobweaver> no
[01:22] <dr_willis> !grub2 |  optimusM
[01:22] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: np
[01:22] <vladimirsanchez> brb
[01:23] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, try this: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
[01:23] <Jonii> dr_willis: /root
[01:23] <optimusM> im using unbuntu 11.10
[01:23] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, on my way
[01:23] <shawn186> hello
[01:24] <shawn186> how come I can't get the nvidia driver packages?
[01:24] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, ok done but seemed like nothing happened
[01:24] <dr_willis> Jonii:  huh? / is different then /root. i dont see a need for /root/ on its own partition
[01:24] <luis_> shawn186: Which do you need?
[01:24] <Cyberspaceloa> try the synclient
[01:25] <Cyberspaceloa> synclient -l
[01:25] <shawn186> Nvidia geforce 7600 GS
[01:25] <Jonii> dr_willis: okay. That's kinda what I thought, but ubuntu installation guide for 11.10 recommends you to make your own partition for root
[01:25] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: BlueToothed it! :D
[01:25] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, same error ... drivers not loaded...
[01:25] <wbBlueDave> :(
[01:25] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: its in my home folder
[01:25] <dr_willis> Jonii:  sure its not a typo for /boot
[01:25] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez: now put that .tar into the Wireless folder
[01:26] <Jonii> I have absolutely no idea :/
[01:26] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez: the folder we just made
[01:26] <vladimirsanchez> done
[01:26] <shawn186> ?
[01:26] <dr_willis> Jonii:  or they mean /     not /root
[01:26] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  sudo cp -r ~/wireless/* /lib/firmware/
[01:26] <shawn186> louis_ ?
[01:26] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling with apt
[01:26] <luis_> shawn186: 32 or 64 bit?
[01:26] <shawn186> 32
[01:26] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  cd /lib/firmware
[01:27] <dr_willis> Jonii:  common setup    /boot   /   /home   and swap. 4 partitions
[01:27] <Cyberspaceloa> you'll most likely get the same results, but it might be worthwhile
[01:27] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez: sudo -i
[01:27] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, ok ... what exactly should i reinstall? synaptic?
[01:27] <vladimirsanchez> k
[01:27] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  you are in firmware right ?>
[01:27] <vladimirsanchez> untar

[01:28] <Jonii> dr_willis: oh, maybe I misunderstoof that, then
[01:28] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, the same package you used with dpkg-reinstall
[01:28] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, are you running unity?
[01:28] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, im running Gnome3 shell
[01:28] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  exit after "untared"
[01:28] <Cyberspaceloa> do you have gconf-editor available to you?
[01:28] <shawn186> how much is battlefield 3 going to be?
[01:29] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: reboot?
[01:29] <bobweaver> no
[01:29] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  sudo rmmod b43
[01:29] <luis_> shawn186: Is that what you needed?
[01:30] <shawn186> it wont open
[01:30] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez: sudo modprobe  b43
[01:30] <shawn186> and gedit wont close
[01:30] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: should I cry?
[01:30] <optimusM> how do i fix the grub again?
[01:30] <shawn186> it downloaded
[01:30] <optimusM> what were those links
[01:30] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  you got wireless ?
[01:30] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: it said wireless was available..
[01:31] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  reboot
[01:31] <vladimirsanchez> let me check cause the icon seems still disables
[01:31] <shawn186> .run file?
[01:31] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, yes i do ... btw i've already reinstalled xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
[01:31] <luis_> shawn186: open it in a terminal
[01:31] <star_> hi ,morning
[01:31] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: I see my network?  :D
[01:31] <danielfeng> join #ubuntu
[01:31] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  \o/
[01:32] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, i've just* reinstalled
[01:32] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: Are u human?
[01:32] <vladimirsanchez> lol
[01:32] <bobweaver> !thanks > vladimirsanchez
[01:32] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: I have to save this session for future reference...
[01:32] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, are you getting any errors from synclient now?
[01:33] <wbBlueDave> same damn error Cyberspaceloa :(
[01:33] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  it is the firmware that gets hung up
[01:33] <shawn186> how do i open it luis_  ?
[01:33] <Cyberspaceloa> shoot
[01:33] <Cyberspaceloa> next tactic
[01:33] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  that is also patched for injection and monitor
[01:33] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: Ubuntu should fix this...
[01:33] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, fire up gconf-editor
[01:34] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, :) i have both dconf/gconf editors
[01:34] <wbBlueDave> ok
[01:34] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: it would get tons more following if fixed...
[01:34] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  that is propratary software for you
[01:34] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: true
[01:34] <wbBlueDave> ok im ok Cyberspaceloa
[01:34] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, desktop->gnome->peripherals
[01:34] <wbBlueDave> im on
[01:34] <luis_> shawn186: go to the folder you downloaded it to and cd to that directory then type the file name exactly as it appears it should run
[01:34] <Cyberspaceloa> then touchpad
[01:34] <Cyberspaceloa> any settings you can see there?
[01:34] <wbBlueDave> ok im on
[01:35] <Cyberspaceloa> "horiz_scroll_enabled" is what mine says
[01:35] <wbBlueDave> mine not
[01:35] <Cyberspaceloa> no keys at all?
[01:35] <wolfmitchell> Ubuntu software center is not letting me install from a .deb file.....I click "Install" and the button lags a minute and resets.
[01:35] <wbBlueDave> yes eys there are keys ... but not the horizontal scrolling Cyberspaceloa
[01:36] <roter1337> Just use the command
[01:36] <Cyberspaceloa> are there any relevant keys, wbBlueDave?
[01:36] <roter1337> For installing worlfmichael
[01:36] <wolfmitchell> What command?
[01:36] <roter1337> sudo dpkg -i something.deb
[01:36] <wolfmitchell> I need to install from a .deb
[01:36] <roter1337> Ik, thats the command
[01:36] <luis_> shawn186: I forgot  type sh before the file
[01:36] <wolfmitchell> Ok
[01:36] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: Words cannot express my gratitude... you're awesome and now made me continue enjoying my 8 year old powerbook now with Ubunty 10
[01:36] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, i see scroll method - edge scrolling which is good
[01:37] <Cyberspaceloa> does fiddling with the keys actually change the touchpad behavior?
[01:37] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: should I be concerned about upgrading to 11?
[01:37] <roter1337> Dont do it if you have slow comp
[01:37] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  No you did :>)  upgrading ? you might want to save that tar file.
[01:37] <wbBlueDave> what no Cyberspaceloa actualy not :/
[01:37] <luis_> shawn186: Here is an example:.... sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-285.05.09.run
[01:38] <vladimirsanchez> it
[01:38] <vladimirsanchez> its in my DropBox
[01:38] <vladimirsanchez> :D
[01:38] <Cyberspaceloa> dang it
[01:38] <roter1337> Is there any reliable way to convert a gpt partition disk to mbr?
[01:38] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: how did u figure the b43 file was missing, from the settings.txt ?
[01:39] <T3CHKOMMIE> hey guys, i need some help :( I am already compiled my own kernel. how do i get it to a livecd or something so that i can install it on another machine? ive spent almost 20 hours researching this and cant figure out how to do it. please help .
[01:40] <luis_> shawn186:  Did it work?
[01:41] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, do you think that a reboot may be necessary?
[01:41] <number19> hello, i'm trying to do a minimal install using the ubuntu 11.10 mini.iso, i;ve installed just fine via virtualbox but when i try to install to my laptop from my usb i can't seem to get the network working
[01:41] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, don't think so
[01:41] <Cyberspaceloa> I'm researching, I'll be back in a few seconds
[01:42] <wbBlueDave> ok  Cyberspaceloa
[01:42] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  wireless is kinda like this check to make sure hardware is seen and mods are working and up to date. if so look in dmesg | grep <wireless name>  if no error then search googlubuntu using the number from the lspci -nn  in your case lspci -nn | grep 14e4   do you see the part in red that is the main part that you want to look at . hopes this helps and enjoy :>)
[01:42] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: never mind... I appreciate your help. Truly. Now Updating my installation..
[01:42] <number19> i have an eht0 interface, i have tryed just hooking up the ethernet cable from my modem but that didn't work either
[01:42] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, have you tried modprobing any drivers for this problem?
[01:42] <OttifantSir> On a Dell Inspiron 1501, I get absolutely NO network at all. lspci shows NO network interfaces, and I've only managed to get wireless to say it is unclaimed after following the STA (No internet access) installation here: http://goo.gl/XtQeQ
[01:42] <wbBlueDave> no Cyberspaceloa  never tryed... and i don't even know how to do it
[01:42] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: :D Love you man!
[01:43] <vladimirsanchez> lol
[01:43] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, let me explain a bit
[01:43] <Cyberspaceloa> I'm sure you are familiar with the concept of a driver. Linux has the ability to plug or unplug in driver files during runtime in order to run various hardware
[01:44] <Cyberspaceloa> the modprobe command either loads or removes a driver file for you
[01:44] <number19> you don't have a true install from the mini.iso either so you don't have access to iwlist or iwconfig either
[01:44] <Cyberspaceloa> the lsmod command shows a list of all running drivers
[01:44] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: would you please repeat that last message so I can save it to my transcript?
[01:44] <number19> anyone have any advice?
[01:44] <vladimirsanchez> I accidentally closed my session...
[01:44] <HeTaL> Is there a way to browse my home folder from via http? I've never used httpd, but I want to know if it's plausible.
[01:44] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, try: lsmod | grep mouse
[01:45] <ber> what__
[01:45] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, ok then ... i think i did modprobed something
[01:45] <luis_> shawn186: Hows the progress?
[01:45] <wbBlueDave> i have psmouse on my lsmod output
[01:46] <T3CHKOMMIE> hey everyone. I think i have a better /easier idea. How do i change the default install filesystem for ubuntu iso?
[01:46] <Cyberspaceloa> do you remember what you used modprobe with?
[01:46] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, it's the file that i've created in /etc/modprobe.d/
[01:46] <wbBlueDave> yes
[01:46] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, options psmouse proto=imps
[01:46] <wbBlueDave> that's alla
[01:46] <Cyberspaceloa> ah
[01:46] <Cyberspaceloa> the command is different from that settings file
[01:46] <Cyberspaceloa> did you try: lsmod | grep mouse
[01:47] <Cyberspaceloa> oh yes, I see now
[01:47] <wbBlueDave> yes
[01:47] <number19> does anyone have any experience installing the ubuntu mini.iso or the server edition and configuring the network ? dhcpd doesn't seem to work for me
[01:47] <wbBlueDave> i get psmuse
[01:47] <number19> ?
[01:47] <Cyberspaceloa> k, hold on
[01:47] <wbBlueDave> and the id of the process
[01:47] <bobweaver> number19:  card is good and mods are loaded ?
[01:48] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, try: egrep -i 'synap|alps|etps' /proc/bus/input/devices
[01:48] <number19> i dunno if the mods are loaded, i can't find a wireless interface only the eth0, and yes the card is good
[01:48] <BaseBallBoy> Okay I just bought an Asus P5G41T-M LX motherboard, it has an atheros AR8131 on it but I cannot get it to work
[01:49] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, nothing hapopened
[01:49] <wbBlueDave> happened *
[01:49] <Cyberspaceloa> hmm
[01:49] <shawn186> how do I remove something in ubuntu?
[01:50] <bobweaver> number19:  could we see the out put of lspci -nn && lsmod  in paste.ubuntu.com please
[01:50] <szal> shawn186: define 'something'
[01:50] <Cyberspaceloa> what is the name of the settings file in /etc/modprobe.d/ ?
[01:50] <shawn186> any program
[01:50] <shawn186> why is their so little system settings
[01:50] <OttifantSir> I have NO network interfaces on a Dell Inspiron 1501. After following STA (No internet access) here: http://goo.gl/XtQeQ the wifi shows up after lspci, and lshw -C network says it's unclaimed. I would like to have both ethernet and wifi working, but ONE (pref. wifi) would be good...
[01:50] <shawn186> not even half of 10.10
[01:50] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, the name of the file is psmouse.conf
[01:51] <Cyberspaceloa> okay
[01:51] <Cyberspaceloa> wbBlueDave, this is about the last thing I know to try
[01:51] <Cyberspaceloa> it's advice from this page: http://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad
[01:51] <szal> shawn186: whatever you install programs with is as good for removing programs
[01:51] <wbBlueDave> i cross my fingers Cyberspaceloa
[01:51] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  do you have a picture phone with internet or some way to upload some commands ?
[01:51] <number19> at the moment i'm on my installed system, would it still be helpful? i can't try to boot from the usb and irc with no internet at the same time
[01:52] <shawn186> how do I remove NVIDIA X server?
[01:52] <Cyberspaceloa> we will try to remove the psmouse driver, send an option, and then see if it works properly
[01:52] <szal> shawn186: there is no such thing as 'NVIDIA X server'
[01:52] <bobweaver> number19:  do you have a picture phone with internet or some way to upload some commands ?
[01:52] <shawn186> yea there is
[01:52] <wbBlueDave> ok Cyberspaceloa im ready ! ... this is war!! :)
[01:52] <shawn186> I want to uninstall the app
[01:52] <OttifantSir> bobweaver: I'm on one of my other computers at the moment, so I guess, yes
[01:52] <Cyberspaceloa> hehe
[01:52] <szal> no, there isn't..  theres the X server, and there's the Nvidia driver, if you installed it
[01:53] <Cyberspaceloa> okay the first command is: sudo modprobe -r psmouse
[01:53] <number19> bobweaver: what do you mean?
[01:53] <Cyberspaceloa> the second command is: sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps
[01:53] <shawn186> ok.. I have a window open with the title NVIDIA X Server Settings
[01:53] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  please open terminal and type in           lspci -nn && lsmod     then somehow upload that so I can see thanks
[01:53] <number19> http://paste.ubuntu.com/733773/
[01:54] <wbBlueDave> ok Cyberspaceloa
[01:54] <wbBlueDave> done
[01:54] <number19> there is the lspci -nn output
[01:54] <Cyberspaceloa> did it halp?
[01:54] <szal> shawn186: that's the X server settings as set by the Nvidia driver
[01:54] <wbBlueDave> ehm no.. :( Cyberspaceloa
[01:54] <Cyberspaceloa> shoot
[01:54] <shawn186> how do I uninstall all nvidia drivers
[01:55] <shanekeene_> shawn186: i don't think you can remove that without removing the drivers also
[01:55] <Cyberspaceloa> that earlier command should have shown the name of the synaptics touchpad
[01:55] <number19> http://paste.ubuntu.com/733774/ there is the lsmod output
[01:55] <Cyberspaceloa> since yours didn't output anything, I have no idea
[01:55] <Cyberspaceloa> I'm kind of shocked it works at all
[01:55] <shawn186> that didn't really answer my question
[01:55] <szal> shawn186: open your favourite package management application, search for 'nvidia' & remove everything that shows as installed
[01:55] <shawn186> ah
[01:55] <OttifantSir> bobweaver: Which parts are you interested in? It would take half the night writing down the entire output
[01:56] <newbie947> hi guys.  i have a blocked tcp connection from myself outgoing on port 8093.  i'm wondering what this is for?  is it anything necessary and if not how can i make it go away?
[01:56] <shawn186> is their one that comes default with ubuntu?
[01:56] <szal> one what?
[01:56] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, :( i'm shocked that it's so wierd
[01:56] <shawn186> what you just mentioned
[01:56] <Maxwell> Hello all
[01:56] <Cyberspaceloa> I guess sony likes to do things different than everyone else
[01:56] <shawn186> i smell a trace of short term loss
[01:56] <Cyberspaceloa> sry I couldn't help!
[01:56] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  try lspci -nn | grep Network
[01:56] <Cyberspaceloa> I feel like I learned a bit more
[01:57] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  1st please
[01:57] <bobweaver> number19:  lsmod please
[01:57] <Maxwell> My LAN connection just randomly stopped working an hour and a bit ago. The physical connection is fine. I now have it plugged into a laptop and it's working great. How do I fix this? Helllllllllp!
[01:57] <number19> bobweaver: i only have a busybox shell in the mini.iso install, i don't have access to the commands i'm used to having to configure networking
[01:57] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, thank you very very very much for the time and the constructive and interactive support !
[01:57] <number19> http://paste.ubuntu.com/733774/ there is the lsmod output
[01:57] <Maxwell> Running 11.10 with all the updates, gradually putting up with Unity.
[01:57] <szal> shawn186: if you're looking for a graphical one, most probably PackageKit or muon
[01:57] <Cyberspaceloa> np wbBlueDave, hopefully you have some extra research ideas. I hope you get it running soon
[01:57] <Maxwell> Any ideas?
[01:57] <bobweaver> number19:  ohh that is different
[01:58]  * szal uses aptitude almost exclusively
[01:58] <Maxwell> Even someone just pointing me in the direction of a really good troubleshooting guide for LAN internet connections would be great.
[01:58] <number19> yeah, its not an fully installed system, it downloads alot of the install from the net, the mini.iso is only 26mb
[01:58] <number19> its similar to the server edition
[01:58] <wbBlueDave> Cyberspaceloa, i hope that too :)
[01:58] <number19> my plan is just to install a minimal gnome shell enviroment of ubuntu
[01:58] <bobweaver> number19:  yeah I thought you where installed
[01:58] <benyu> well how to install snort on ubuntu 10.04 with mysql and apache?
[01:59] <shawn186> thank you szal
[01:59] <Maxwell> Hello?
[01:59] <Maxwell> Any ideas people?
[01:59] <benyu> anyone who can help me?
[01:59] <newbie947> hi guys.  i have a blocked tcp connection from myself outgoing on port 8093.  i'm wondering what this is for?  is it anything necessary and if not how can i make it go away?
[01:59] <bobweaver> number19:  md5sum is good ?
[01:59] <number19> nope, can't install without configuring the network first, i should be able to just plug up the ethernet cable from my modem to my computer and it should work because the eth0 interface is there
[01:59] <number19> but for some reason it doesn't
[01:59] <number19> bobweaver: yep
[02:00] <benyu> ;(
[02:00] <bobweaver> number19:  try to look for the mods and the firmware and see if they need to be added . also no error ?
[02:00] <OttifantSir> bobweaver: lsmod output - http://paste.ubuntu.com/733778/  lspci output - http://paste.ubuntu.com/733780/
[02:00] <shawn186> how do I close an x server?
[02:00] <number19> nope, no error
[02:01] <number19> i'm pretty sure they do because i can't find a wireless interface like wlan0
[02:01] <EvilResistance> number19:  type into the terminal iwconfig
[02:01] <upgrayeddd> Hi, I am considering buying a Kobo eReader, however I don't know how easy it'll be to sync with Ubuntu. I've done some searching, and their isn't a dedicated client yet, though it wouldn't be hard to make. I'm wondering if it'll function like a normal MP3 player though, where I can just drag files over in Nautilus or mv them in gnome-terminal
[02:01] <EvilResistance> number19:  does anything come up?
[02:01] <upgrayeddd> ~ereader
[02:01] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  sudo rmmod wl      then      sudo modprobe b43
[02:02] <number19> evilresistance, thats the fisrt thing i tryed but i only have a busybox shell its not a fully installed system yet so i don't have access to iwconfig
[02:02] <EvilResistance> upgrayeddd:  that wont help you - there's no bot factoid about ereaders
[02:02] <pepee> hi. no fglrx 8.902/catalyst 11.10 on oneiric?
[02:02] <nils_> what would be an accepted way to create the /run/lvm directory after booting? It's needed for clvm.
[02:02] <upgrayeddd> apparently EvilResistance
[02:03] <number19> bobweaver: even if i did figure out the firmware i needed i'm not sure i can put that on the usb along with the mini.iso
[02:03] <number19> *sigh* i just want a minimal install of ubuntu 11.10
[02:03] <bobweaver> number19:  bingo  I just had to do that with a old dell box
[02:03] <number19> sweet, so its possible
[02:03] <number19> well that gives me hope
[02:03] <OttifantSir> bobweaver: Network Manager now says that the firmware is missing, instead of No Network. Still no network though. Restart the offending machine? Or restart the network?
[02:03] <upgrayeddd> http://www.dawning.ca/2010/kobo-ereader-unboxed-linux/ this helps
[02:04] <upgrayeddd> looks like it runs fine under wine with my distro version (10.04)
[02:05] <number19> bobweaver: how did you do it?
[02:05] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  please download  this file  http://www.omattos.com/sites/default/files/b43-all-fw.tar_.gz
[02:05] <bobweaver> number19:  It would not connect with out the e100 .dll   or something like that
[02:06] <bobweaver> so I moved it over
[02:06] <number19> word, now i need to figure out what firmware i need and drop it in an accessible folder on the usb
[02:06] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  after downloading file please move it over to your ubuntu box
[02:06] <OttifantSir> bobweaver: Done. Now what?
[02:06] <bobweaver> OttifantSir: after downloading file please move it over to your ubuntu box
[02:07] <OttifantSir> bobweaver: Yeah, already did that.
[02:07] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  cool
[02:08] <number19> bobweaver: how would i figure out what firmware i need, is there a site i can put my lspci or lsmod output and find out?
[02:08] <Newrad2> is there a way to launch a terminal from a lucid USB?
[02:08] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  in your home folder please make a dir called      Wireless and put the tar doc in there
[02:08] <number19> the same laptop i'm trying to get online has kubuntu on it and networking configured itself
[02:08] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: another one bites the dust :D Like me...
[02:08] <number19> i've also had the ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 full installs on them several times and networking sets itself up just fine
[02:09] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  same thing
[02:09] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: PPC?
[02:09] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez: nope but same b43 mod needed
[02:09] <OttifantSir> bobweaver: The .gz-file is in "wireless" in my home folder
[02:09] <bobweaver> firware sorry
[02:10] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  sudo cp -r ~/wireless/* /lib/firmware/
[02:10] <Newrad2> i need to run a terminal from the usb without booting, i can do it with an edgy usb, but how do i do it with lucid?
[02:10] <Ibis> Is anyone by any chance having problems relating to this-> cyrus-sasl2,         a sasl thing. Which is giving me problems with postfix for my ubuntu server (11.10).
[02:10] <OttifantSir> bobweaver: Done.  I ran the extraction and got an error "No such file or directory" and ls shows absolutely NO files
[02:13] <pangolin> !language | shadaloo
[02:13] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  ok
[02:13] <shadaloo> !retard | pangolin
[02:13] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  try
[02:13] <HardBoiledSoup> if you like techno you should watch this livestream http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/10-college-majors-lowest-unemployment-rates-163049193.html
[02:14] <bobweaver> OttifantSir: sudo cp -r ~/Wireless/* /lib/firmware/
[02:14] <number19> bobweaver: it looks like i need iwlagn firmware?
[02:14] <newbie947>  hi guys.  i have a blocked tcp connection from myself outgoing on port 8093.  i'm wondering what this is for?  is it anything necessary and if not how can i make it go away?
[02:14] <OttifantSir> bobweaver: I just needed to cd back into /lib/firmware. Extract worked then
[02:14] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  good
[02:15] <Newrad2> im really in a bind here, IS there a way to run a terminal off the lucid usb?
[02:15] <EvilResistance> Newrad2:  alt+f2, type in gnome-terminal
[02:15] <number19> does that sound right?
[02:15] <OerHeks> Newrad2, ctrl + alt +t
[02:15] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  now         sudo rmmod b43    then sudo modprobe b43   then   echo b43 >> /etc/moduals
[02:15] <Newrad2> the problem is i cant boot
[02:16] <bobweaver> OttifantSir: now sudo rmmod b43 then sudo modprobe b43 then echo b43 >> /etc/modules
[02:16] <Newrad2> my hdd is corrupt
[02:16] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  sorry about the spelling
[02:16] <bobweaver> number19:  I am going to look at that paste again
[02:16] <number19> alright, thanks
[02:16] <number19> i really do appreciate it
[02:17] <number19> i dunno if i have a modprobe command to install the thing though
[02:17] <number19> bah!
[02:17] <OttifantSir> bobweaver: Why did I need to echo b43 into modules? I got networks after the modprobe. Just want to understand what I'm doing...
[02:17] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  that makes it so it starts on reboot
[02:18] <bobweaver> OttifantSir: ssb is lazy and not doing its job :>)
[02:18] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: let me know if you can follow up now that network is up..
[02:18] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: tried to update but nothing came down.
[02:19] <OttifantSir> bobweaver: I kinda figured that. Thanks for the help. Been trying to make this machine work for a long time, and either graphics problems or network problems have plagued it. Now it works again. Thank you.
[02:19] <bobweaver> OttifantSir:  np enjoy
[02:19] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: though I can ping all sites.
[02:19] <bobweaver> number19:  look at this please http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1766962.html
[02:19] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: firewall?

[02:20] <pepee> no fglrx 8.902/catalyst 11.10 in oneiric repos? why?

[02:21] <toddnine> Hi guys.  When using Unity on 11.10, is there a way to bring all instances of windows to the foreground without the selection window after clicking the icon on the left?  I have about 4 terminal instances open, it's impossible to tell which one I want when using the unity window selection
[02:21] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: no clue what issue is now..
[02:22] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  umm...  you can not get to sites ?
[02:22] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: nope
[02:22] <bobweaver> are you on the box now ?
[02:22] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: yep
[02:22] <pepee> xangua, ubuntu was known for using its users as the driver betatesters
[02:22] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: netstat?
[02:23] <bobweaver> try
[02:23] <ygor> hello Guys. does any1 know a software to manage a small business like a restaurant?
[02:23] <newbie947> does anybody know whats up with port 8093?
[02:23] <dr_willis> toddnine:  i cheat and use 4 different terminal apps.  or use terminator and have 4 terms in 1 window.  not perfect butit works
[02:23] <OttifantSir> ygor: I've seen Lemon POS, but don't know it. We're not allowed to use it in our country because it's open source.
[02:23] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: lots of streams
[02:24] <najamsa> newbie947: can you try netstat -tp | grep 8093
[02:24] <toddnine> dr_willis:  Yeah, the problem is I'm managing a cluster.  So each terminal window has about 10 tabs in it, each one tailing logs for each role.  Cassandra, Jetty, Backend, Zookeeper etc.  I need both multiple windows and Tabs
[02:24] <optimusM> how do i fix bootmgr missing?
[02:24] <ygor> Ottifantsir: thanks buddy im gonna check this out.
[02:25] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: see lots of errors on wlan0 interface...
[02:25] <OttifantSir> ygor: From description it can be used for accounting, cash register, storage.
[02:25] <bobweaver> in dmesg ?
[02:25] <funnyfingers> I got an error on installation where a step failed: The failing step is: Select and install software.  I went to the shell but the installation shell is very limited and I would like to check the memory usage or maybe you can just tell me if 128 MB with no swap is too little...
[02:25] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez: in dmesg ?
[02:25] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver netstat
[02:25] <newbie947> najamsa: that doesn't show anything for me
[02:25] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: let me check
[02:26] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  dmesg | grep b43
[02:26] <dr_willis> toddnine:  with gnome-shell thinking design. you would put each on its iwn workspace. unity is not so organized in ways
[02:26] <newbie947> najamsa: it was a blocked connection not an open connection
[02:26] <delinquentme> im looking for a tool to convert .ogv videos
[02:26] <delinquentme> to something youtue usable
[02:26] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: no errors but warning about odl firmware
[02:26] <najamsa> newbie947: What abt sudo netstat -ap | grep 8093
[02:27] <toddnine> dr_willis: Agreed.  it has a lot of potential, but I use a Mac a lot at home.  It has a bit more work to do to be as functional.
[02:27] <bobweaver> delinquentme:  openshot ?
[02:27] <delinquentme> used this screen cap called " cheese " and this .ogv is the only file it write as
[02:27] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  that is fine
[02:27] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  try watch --interval=2 "sudo netstat -apn -l -A inet"
[02:27] <vladimirsanchez> k
[02:27] <newbie947> nothing
[02:27] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  dont post any of that PLEASE
[02:27] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: netstat shows 0 RECOK
[02:27] <dr_willis> delinquentme:  youtube can convert for you. or use arista perhaps
[02:28] <vladimirsanchez> and 0 sent ok
[02:28] <optimusM> i do i make a second partition primary
[02:28] <delinquentme> youtube killed the video
[02:29] <dr_willis> optimusM:  when you create a partition you set it primary or extended
[02:29] <OttifantSir> funnyfingers: I don't KNOW for certain that 128MB is too little, but I have machines with that little RAM, and I always make a swap partition of 1GB on those machines. Never failed me.
[02:30] <funnyfingers> OttifantSir - it is just how I am capturing it I didn't want a swap partition.
[02:30] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  wireless works on other computers just fine ?
[02:30] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: left it running while reloading the start.ubuntu.com page and I saw FF PID but it timed out...
[02:31] <riffautae> !lowmem | funnyfingers
[02:31] <funnyfingers> It is a Xen domu I am making a template from and want the "disk" to have a single partition.  Unfortunately a swap file isn't an option during the install.
[02:31] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: yes... Im using it right now with IRC
[02:31] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  wow
[02:31] <funnyfingers> I'll just up the mem to 1024 MB and restart the install then if that is the most likely cause.
[02:31] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: weird is that I can ping many IP's fine... no loss packets...
[02:31] <bobweaver> irc showed up on sudo netstat -apn -l -A inet"
[02:32] <OttifantSir> funnyfingers: I can understand that. Less complexity. I read an article about cgroups and LXC (Linux Containers) in a magazine. It seems like you should take a look at that with your starting point.
[02:32] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  traceroute google.com
[02:32] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  are you getting there ?
[02:32] <funnyfingers> OttifantSir - I have done it for debian and centos already.  Just trying Ubuntu.  It wasn't very bright of me to use 128 MB:)
[02:33] <vladimirsanchez> no traceroute command found
[02:33] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  sudo apt-get install traceroute
[02:33] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  is it installing >?
[02:34] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: nope, cant connect to update server
[02:34] <delinquentme> how does on call OGV a open file format .. when i need a paid for converter to change it into something usable....
[02:34] <OttifantSir> funnyfingers: As Edison (likely) would have said in your place: I've found yet another way of making a template that doesn't work.
[02:34] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: it tried.
[02:34] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: got a 110 : Connection Timeout
[02:34] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  can you sign into your router >
[02:35] <bobweaver> ?
[02:35] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: from the laptop (Ubuntu?)
[02:35] <bobweaver> yes
[02:35] <bobweaver> with wireless
[02:35] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: yes... im there
[02:36] <bobweaver> look around wireless please
[02:36] <funnyfingers> OttifantSir - If I understand you correctly, I actually am doing this template the standard way for the virtualization control panel that I work on.
[02:36] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  please also look at firewall
[02:36] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: I see the laptop in the dhcp client list.
[02:36] <bobweaver> Oo
[02:36] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: in Ubuntu?
[02:37] <bobweaver> no
[02:37] <bobweaver> on router
[02:37] <bobweaver> if there is one
[02:37] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: nope...
[02:37] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  also you are not blocking mac address are you ?
[02:38] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: nope, I just checked the .... ??? wait a sec...
[02:38] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: I remember using iwconfig prior to your intervention...
[02:38] <vladimirsanchez> and I set the /etc/network/interfaces...
[02:38] <number19> i deicded to get on my girls laptop and while i try to install
[02:38] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: does this has any effect on inet?
[02:39] <number19> hopefully this will help
[02:39] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  cat /ect/network/interfaces
[02:39] <number19> bobweaver: my lsmod only list 3 modules
[02:39] <bobweaver> number19:  Wow
[02:39] <number19> usb_storage vesafb and r8169
[02:40] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: auto wlan0
[02:40] <number19> yeah its not even a install yet really, it will be once i get it on the internet
[02:40] <bobweaver> number19:  r8169 is eth0
[02:40] <number19> yeah
[02:40] <number19> everything should work
[02:40] <number19> i'm confused
[02:41] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[02:41] <vladimirsanchez>     essid <ID>
[02:41] <vladimirsanchez>     wireless-essid <ID>
[02:41] <number19> i have it plugged up and i also have the internal lan turned on in my bios
[02:41] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: sorry
[02:41] <number19> how would you remove a kernel module? could modprobe also do that?
[02:42] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  in /etc/network/interfaces    ADD: auto lo
[02:42] <bobweaver> iface lo inet loopback
[02:42] <number19> isn't there like an rmod or something?
[02:42] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: auto lo; iface lo inet loopback .... is there...
[02:43] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: first two lines
[02:43] <number19> i tryed to find r8169.conf to delete it, it mentioned that on that link you sent me but i can't find the file
[02:43] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  sudo services network restart
[02:44] <bobweaver> number19:  maybe it is not there ?
[02:44] <number19> yeah thats what i'm figuring
[02:44] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: services command not found :(
[02:44] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: weird!
[02:44] <number19> i'm offocially stumped
[02:45] <qin> vladimirsanchez: sudo service ...
[02:45] <bobweaver> vladimirsanchez:  sudo /etc/init.d/network restart
[02:45] <bobweaver> qin you are right typo woops
[02:45] <number19> how can i remove a kernel mod ?
[02:45] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: unrecognized service.
[02:46] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: network
[02:46] <qin> vladimirsanchez: networking
[02:46] <SoulShadow> so...my intel 6230 isn't being seen as a bluetooth device in ubuntu
[02:46] <qin> vladimirsanchez: and not restart, but stop/start
[02:47] <SoulShadow> if you have a dedicated wpan spot on your board does that kill the 6230's bluetooth ability?
[02:47] <SoulShadow> or is something just not liking me
[02:47] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: networking stop/waiting
[02:48] <OttifantSir> bobweaver: Thanks to seeing number19's comment on networking, I took a look at my BIOS, and I didn't have network because it was disabled in BIOS. After your help, and a quick check in BIOS, I now have both interfaces up and running again. So, my fault, not Ubuntu. Still, thank you.
[02:50] <SoulShadow> anyone use a intel 6230 with ubuntu?
[02:51] <funnyfingers> SoulShadow - I just know that the latest Debian had network drivers that the latest Ubuntu did not...
[02:51] <number19> i know there is a insmod? is there a command to remove mods as well?
[02:51] <maestrojed> Is "apt-get update" the same as running Ubuntu's Update Manager?
[02:51] <Rameneglion> number19: I think it's rmmod
[02:51] <funnyfingers> So it isn't out of the question that your device wouldn't work out of the box.
[02:51] <bobweaver> number19:  rmmod
[02:51] <SoulShadow> funnyfingers: well i'm running 11.10 fully updated and bluetooth app doesn't see my 6230
[02:51] <Rameneglion> I'm having troubing installing a driver for my sound card. Does anyone here have a Creative X-Fi card?
[02:52] <SoulShadow> lspci sees it, wifi works, but nothing sees the bt, rfkill or bluetooth app
[02:52] <bobweaver> maestrojed:  kinda but like  apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
[02:52] <number19> thanks
[02:52] <funnyfingers> SoulShadow - So the device is installed then it seems?
[02:52] <OttifantSir> maestrojed: That updates the list of programs and updates, but does not install it. "sudo apt-get upgrade" installs the updates after an "apt-get update"
[02:52] <SoulShadow> yeah, i have wireless so i assume it's installed :P
[02:52] <maestrojed> bobweaver OttifantSir  awesome, thanks! I am learning :)
[02:53] <bobweaver> !apt | maestrojed
[02:54] <vladimirsanchez_> bobweaver: darnit! restarted router.. now Im live...
[02:54] <maestrojed> I am building a media center so I am going for a little more pizazz over utilitarian. I'd love to have my desktop show the weather and a cool clock. Suggestions? I have tried screenlets and kde superkarama but they aren't really working well. Any other suggestions?
[02:54] <vladimirsanchez_> bobweaver: my apology..
[02:55] <SoulShadow> funnyfingers: i can try debian
[02:55] <soreau> maestrojed: xbmc
[02:55] <bobweaver> !conky | maestrojed
[02:55] <SoulShadow> conky ftw <3
[02:56] <maestrojed> soreau I am using xbmc and I do like its UI. But I am not always using XBMC which is why I wanted it on my desktop
[02:56] <maestrojed> bobweaver soreau  checking it out, thx
[02:56] <soreau> maestrojed: ah ok
[02:57] <number19> when i try to connect to the net i'm getting "ethtool-lite: eth0 is disconnected."
[02:57] <number19> not in the terminal but in the logs
[02:57] <maestrojed> if anyone has other suggestions of cool things to add to a media center I am all ears. So far boxee, xbmc, spotify, banshee, hulu, cairo,
[02:58] <quixotedon> maestrojed: try using clementine to play songs
[02:59] <maestrojed> quixotedon I will check it out. Thx!
[02:59] <quixotedon> all, how to disable autoplay when we plug in a removable device in 11.10?
[02:59] <soreau> bobweaver: SoulShadow: Can conky do weather with flashy icons?
[02:59] <bobweaver> soreau:  not really
[02:59] <OttifantSir> maestrojed: I haven't had time to check it, but Software Center also has Enna (EFL Mediacenter). MPD (Music Player Daemon) might be something to look at.
[02:59] <sumpter> @Sh3r1ff how do you find out where your cd rom drive is mounted?
[02:59] <SoulShadow> soreau not really no
[03:00] <quixotedon> maestrojed: i deleted banshee due to many crashes it has
[03:00] <maestrojed> I will check them out. Thanks OttifantSir
[03:00] <maestrojed> quixotedon I like  banshee because of its integration with Internet Archive (I am an ole school dead head)
[03:01] <hogu> I'm on a VPS hosted server running 10.04, and when I run do-release-upgrade I get no release found, how do I upgrade to 11.10?
[03:01] <sumpter> where is the cd rom drive mounted in ubuntu? something like /dev/fstab?
[03:01] <xangua> hogu: you do not upgrade from 10.04 to 11.10
[03:01] <hansg01> is the command correct sudo chown -R $user:$user $home
[03:01] <quixotedon> maestrojed: ow, you can also find the internet link, like jatumendo, last.fm, internetcast and so on, but yes, you can't find internet archive.. banshee is good but too prone on 11.10 :(
[03:02] <xangua> hogu: you can upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10 or from lts to lts - 10.04 to 12.04 -
[03:02] <maestrojed> quixotedon awesome ideas.
[03:02] <maestrojed> quixotedon yeah I tried 11.x for a few months but when back to LTS
[03:02] <OttifantSir> quixotedon: About autoplay, System Settings -> Removable Media should give you what you want.
[03:02] <qin> hansg01: No. env are usually capital: echo $HOME; echo $home
[03:02] <hogu> @xangua, if I go to 10.10, after that can I go to 11.10?
[03:03] <xangua> hogu: no, from 10.10 you have to go to 11.04
[03:03] <SoulShadow> 11.04
[03:03] <sumpter> where is the cd rom drive mounted in ubuntu? something like /dev/fstab?
[03:03] <SoulShadow> 11.10
[03:03] <number19> bah
[03:03] <hansg01> qin: can u please rewrite the complete corrrect command
[03:03] <quixotedon> maestrojed: for sure, if you like singing the song along with the lyric appears to you and some info on the artist you are listening to, then clementine is a good choice
[03:03] <binni> how do I make changes to /etc/hosts take effect?
[03:03] <number19> thanks for the help bob, i'm gonna call it quits for tonight'
[03:04] <soreau> binni: Should take effect immediately afaik but you could try restarting network-manager service I guess
[03:04] <Rameneglion> Anyone around think they could give me some help installing a driver?
[03:04] <qin> hansg01: Maybe say that do you intend, since -R in chown tend to be too powerful to be used blindly.
[03:04] <funnyfingers> hogu - just curious since 10.04 has a lot of life left, what do you need in 11.10?
[03:04] <quixotedon> OttifantSir: thanks
[03:04] <OttifantSir> sumpter: My CD/DVD-drive is mounted at /dev/sr0, but that might not be the case for you
[03:04] <hogu> @xangua ok thats fine, but the point is how do I do that   I always get no release found, and if I do it with -d, it upgrades me to 12.04
[03:04] <soreau> hogu: I'd highly recommend cleanly installing the version of ubuntu you want and avoiding upgrades
[03:04] <sumpter> @ottifansir thank you
[03:05] <sumpter> @ottifantsir thank you
[03:05] <hogu> @funnyfingers 10.04 is still on python2.6 and i like 2.7
[03:05] <quixotedon> maestrojed: so LTS is much better than the last os upgrade (w/o LTS)?
[03:05] <xangua> hogu: you have to enable normal upgrades on Software Sources, LTS are set to upgrade only to LTS as default
[03:05] <hansg01> qin: i used this command earlier too to de encrypt my data that is not under my mermission but is in root's permission
[03:05] <xangua> quixotedon: define better
[03:05] <hogu> @xangua, I do that by altering sources.list?
[03:05] <quixotedon> maestrojed: 10.10 is my first ubuntu use
[03:05] <xangua> hogu: no, open software center - edit - software sources
[03:06] <hogu> it's VPS, no X
[03:06] <hogu> I could install X
[03:06] <hogu> but i'd rather not
[03:06] <quixotedon> xangua: i mean, 10.10 is LTS but 11.04 and 11.10 are not yet.. does that mean LTS (long term support) OS version comes more reliable??
[03:06] <xangua> quixotedon: 10.10 is not lts, 10.04 is
[03:06] <quixotedon> all, when i log in using guess, it appears that the display is gone..
[03:07] <quixotedon> xangua: oops, sorry, miss the number :d
[03:07] <qin> hansg01: So you have to decrypt, and chown then?
[03:07] <maestrojed> quixotedon 11.x is shiny. I never made it to 11.10. I was fine with 11.04 as an OS but a lot of programs just aren't ready for it
[03:07] <hansg01> qin: yep
[03:07] <funnyfingers> quixotedon - of course long term support is more reliable:)
[03:07] <weems> I cannot launch gdm: failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
[03:07] <soreau> quixotedon: LTS does not inherently mean more stable or reliable. It just means it will be officially supported longer with security updates and such
[03:07] <quixotedon> funnyfingers: so, should i downgrade my os?? now 11.10
[03:08] <hansg01> qin: chown is user to change the ownership of the file na???
[03:08] <quixotedon> soreau: this is what i understood though, without the term of more reliable/stable
[03:08] <quixotedon> :)
[03:08] <HACKhalo2> to be more informative, I'm trying to dualboot Archlinux and Ubuntu off of the grub install located in Ubuntu's partition (sda1). Arch is located at (sda7:/, sda6:/boot). Would I need to configure Ubuntu to point at the boot partition (sda6) or the root partiton (sda7), or is it archlinux's problem
[03:08] <qin> hansg01: Strange... sudo chown -R $USER:$USER $HOME
[03:08] <Se7eN> Hi, I have a small problem .. I accidentally chmod 0755 foldername -R done on my domain in www folder .. Does anyone know how I can undo?
[03:08] <funnyfingers> quixotedon - Are you running a server that can't have any downtime?
[03:09] <soreau> quixotedon: I'm sure this behooves the ubuntu team to strive for LTS to be as reliable as possible but that's not particularly different from any other release
[03:09] <qin> hansg01: chown -- CHange OWNership
[03:09] <quixotedon> funnyfingers: i'm runing my own laptop computer
[03:09] <hansg01> qin: no offences but isnt it the ryt way?
[03:09] <quixotedon> funnyfingers: though i'm interested to try ubuntu on a server.. :)
[03:09] <JGAN> hello
[03:10] <JGAN> can you guys read me?
[03:10] <funnyfingers> quixotedon - I see no other choice but LTS for a server.
[03:10] <soreau> JGAN: nope
[03:10] <Rameneglion> Loud and clear.
[03:10] <JGAN> haha
[03:10] <JGAN> well i have a question for webmin/apache users?
[03:10] <soreau> ! ask | JGAN
[03:10] <quixotedon> funnyfingers: okay, noted down for more information.. :)
[03:10] <Se7eN> How can i undo chmod 0775 -R?
[03:11] <maestrojed> Se7eN http://movabletripe.com/archive/recursively-chmod-directories-only/  This shows you how to change permission for all dirs or all files.
[03:11] <quixotedon> funnyfingers: are you using oneiric as well?
[03:11] <qin> hansg01: Hm? Not it is not right way, since your encripted data in home, should not requre chown after decripting.
[03:11] <JGAN> does anybody know how to access logs of visitor ip addresses?
[03:11] <maestrojed> Se7eN you can't undo but you can change them back
[03:11] <Se7eN> Okay, let's see
[03:11] <funnyfingers> quixotedon - 10.04 LTS is fully supported until mid 2015 for example...
[03:11] <maestrojed> Se7eN 0755 is pretty standard for directories and 0644 for files
[03:11] <soreau> Se7eN: There's no 'back button' for that, you'd have to set the permissions back to what they were before you changed them
[03:11] <qin> JGAN: Apache, ssh. telnet, ftp, or what?
[03:11] <JGAN> apache web server
[03:11] <keithclark> Can anyone else get the following site to work?  http://www.virtualapple.org/lemonadestanddisk.html
[03:11] <xangua> funnyfingers: quixotedon desktop is until 2013
[03:11] <bobweaver> !permissions
[03:12] <JGAN> when somebody accesses your website, is their ip logged somewhere?
[03:12] <qin> JGAN: cd /var/log/apache2/
[03:12] <hansg01> qin: can you suggest any other method?
[03:12] <aeon-ltd> JGAN: yes i'd assume so somewhere on the server
[03:13] <qin> hansg01: How do you enrcipt your data?
[03:13] <qin> *encript
[03:13] <OttifantSir> keithclark: I get a message saying the ActiveGS plugin isn't supported if that's what you were asking about...
[03:13] <hansg01> i was using fedora and den i transferred that data which was there to ubuntu
[03:14] <quixotedon> xangua: funnyfingers: so what do you think is the best version?
[03:14] <hansg01> qin: the data got encrypted automatically
[03:14] <xangua> quixotedon: that depends of what do You want
[03:14] <salty> how can i adjust my network manager or what ever controls my usb network card from overclocking i guess would be the term... it causes it to shut down
[03:15] <Rameneglion> What is a good multi-platform chat client?
[03:15] <qin> hansg01: Ah, thought that your setup is bad... yes, just chown it, but maybe not in home directory directly. mkdir stuff_from_fed ?
[03:15] <funnyfingers> salty I have heard of networkmanager causing problems and some people disable it...
[03:15] <salty> then what would i use to connect
[03:15] <funnyfingers> not sure if you need it for what you do though...
[03:15] <keithclark> OttifantSir, yes
[03:15] <xub> How to use usb dac in ubuntu 11.04?
[03:15] <hansg01> qin: ok thanks!
[03:16] <funnyfingers> salty - sorry that is all I know of that:)
[03:16] <OttifantSir> Rameneglion: Personally, I prefer Pidgin for use on other platforms/OSes.
[03:16] <quixotedon> xangua: i'm learning to use ubuntu on dual boot along with windows7 but i mostly use ubuntu, and i have a big hope that i'm going to use it at the most.. there are many reasons to love using ubuntu :)
[03:16] <salty> oh ok thnx funnyfingers
[03:16] <weems> GDM will not launch after update to 11.10
[03:16] <Rameneglion> OttifantSir: Does Pidgin support Skype as well as Facebook? I had used Empathy previously, but I didn't really care for it.
[03:17] <weems> sudo gdm produces a display of 0.66 seconds
[03:17] <qin> weems: It is now lightdm...
[03:17] <JGAN> ok thanks qin
[03:17] <wunderkin> Rameneglion: for pidgin you can use xmpp to connect to facebook, i dont think you can use skype though
[03:17] <weems> then it hasnt launched either
[03:17] <weems> I chose gdm when the gconf screen came...
[03:17] <weems> didn't know...
[03:18] <Rameneglion> I guess Skype works well enough for Skype.
[03:18] <OttifantSir> Rameneglion: Yes. At least it does when installing a few plugins (I don't remember if Skype-plugin is in the repos though), and Facebook can be flaky when updates happen from Zuckerberg & co.
[03:18] <Rameneglion> Hm. Alright. Is there a way I can change my default Package Manager?
[03:19] <keithclark> Paypal not accepted when purchasing software?
[03:19] <keithclark> Unreal
[03:20] <funnyfingers> keithclark - what are you talking about?
[03:20] <OttifantSir> Rameneglion: Do you mean when double-clicking a .deb-file? If so, right-click and choose Open with.../Open with other program and choose gdebi or synaptic (if they're installed)
[03:20] <quixotedon> xangua: for my laptop computer, dell inspiron 14, 4030 , with 2GB ram, Intel® Pentium(R) CPU P6000 @ 1.87GHz × 2 , graphic is supposed to be ati radeon v534(can't really remember the number/series) with the system info stating driver vesa: m92, on intel architecture i386
[03:21] <keithclark> funnyfingers, in the software application, paypal is not accepted????
[03:22] <Rameneglion> OttifantSir: Well, my distro came with Muon, but I prefer Synaptic. Every time I launch Synaptic, though, it asks for my password. Something that Muon didn't do. Is this part of Synaptic's functionality or is it a setting I can play with?
[03:22] <Rameneglion> OttifantSir: It becomes an issue when rebooting with Synaptic open. Synaptic then opens without a password being given, so it won't have access to install packages.
[03:23] <urlin2u> Rameneglion, what distro had muon?
[03:24] <OttifantSir> Rameneglion: I see the password-on-open as a feature, but I agree that it can be frustrating. You're also asking for more than I can help with. I haven't tried switching from Muon to Synaptic myself. Sorry.
[03:24] <funnyfingers> Is a system is installed on an XVDA device (xen) once installation is complete how can I get it to boot if I change the device to sda?  CentOS throws all the drivers at it I guess which is why it doesn't have that problem.
[03:25] <keithclark> So not possible to buy software with the
[03:25] <Rameneglion> urlin2u: Kubuntu.
[03:26] <keithclark> software manager with paypal?
[03:26] <Rameneglion> OttifantSir: That's alright. It's a minor annoyance at most.
[03:26] <Rameneglion> I'm more concerned with getting my sound drivers to work than worrying about a little extra password typing
[03:26] <Papabrvo> Hello all. I am re-purposing an old Laptop drive into a usb drive. I got it formated ext3 but permissions are Root and I can't save files on it. Any ideas?
[03:27] <urlin2u> Rameneglion, ah I saw that in synaptic so in kubuntu you didn't use a password to install packages, that sounds strange as ubuntu needs super user access to do these things, I would think kubuntu as well.
[03:27] <funnyfingers> Papabrvoa chown -R user:user <path>
[03:27] <funnyfingers> maybe
[03:28] <funnyfingers> er user:group
[03:28] <funnyfingers> sorry I usually do that with user and group names that match...
[03:28] <OttifantSir> Rameneglion: My workaround would've been: Make a script with the commands to install from the package list generated by Synaptic in user-mode and make a shortcut on the desktop to run the script. Doesn't solve your basic problem though.
[03:29] <asdf-> hi, my audio does not work and it freezes all apps that try to play audio... alsa mixer plays the test beeps but ubuntu system -> sounds doesnt have any audio hardware listed
[03:29] <asdf-> pulseaudio is installed
[03:29] <Papabrvo> funnyfingers: just type that out? "chown -R user:group" Is that right?
[03:29] <Rameneglion> I think I'm going to worry about it after this sound driver thing pans out.
[03:30] <Rameneglion> I'll ask again 'cause I'm desparate. Anyone here have a Creative X-Fi card?
[03:30] <funnyfingers> no Papabrvo you would replace user with a real user.
[03:31] <funnyfingers> and then be sure you put the proper path...
[03:31] <vn> hi, why would ubuntu remote desktop's password prompt hang if I try to connect from outside my local network? what ports do I need to forward exactly?
[03:31] <Papabrvo> Funnyfingers: I assume were talking Terminal, how doe it know what drive I'm talking about
[03:32] <funnyfingers> I don't know the GUI from the terminal the mount command should help
[03:35] <Rameneglion> OttifantSir: Thank you for suggesting Pidgin, I rather like it.
[03:35] <quixotedon> i'm trying thunderbird with gmail client, and had problems sending emails
[03:36] <Shirakawasuna> hi folks. I'm having some trouble with my media server. It's running a bit slow, I went to test flash, but now I can't install flashplugin-downloader
[03:36] <OttifantSir> Rameneglion: You're welcome.
[03:36] <Shirakawasuna> the error is of unmet dependencies: flashplugin-downloader:i386 : Depends: libcurl3:i386 but it is not going to be installed
[03:36] <Shirakawasuna> my system is amd64
[03:37] <quixotedon> error on thunderbird is network connection timeout though i can still use the browser.. :(
[03:37] <xangua> !partner
[03:37] <xangua> Shirakawasuna: install adobe-flashplugin , from partner repos
[03:37] <Shirakawasuna> xangua: so the flashplugin-installer package is just broken?
[03:38] <dr3mro> hello , I have just created a deb file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8828739/packages/nautilus_actions_etxra/nautilus_actions_extra_0.1.2.deb and i need to upload it to ppa but it's not s ource code but some scripts and desktop files can any one help me ?
[03:38] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, create a source package
[03:38] <tensorpudding> upload that
[03:39] <Shirakawasuna> wait...
[03:39] <Shirakawasuna> that's version 10, xangua
[03:39] <Shirakawasuna> I have to use an outdated flash version?
[03:39] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, can you tell me how ? please can you inspect the package http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8828739/packages/nautilus_actions_etxra/nautilus_actions_extra_0.1.2.deb ??
[03:39] <funnyfingers> Papabrvo any luck?
[03:39] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, you get the source, and run debuild -S
[03:39] <xangua> Shirakawasuna: are you using an outdated ubuntu version¿ :P
[03:40] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, the source package has the orig.tar.gz, a .dsc and a source.changes
[03:40] <tensorpudding> if you used debuild to create a .deb, it probably created them for you
[03:41] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, this is not an application source code this is some scripts ?
[03:41] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, same difference
[03:43] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, how did you build the package
[03:43] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, I have crested the deb file manually ..
[03:43] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, how did you do that
[03:43] <vladimirsanchez> bobweaver: thanks again for your help. G'nite! Stay Hungry! :)
[03:43] <Shirakawasuna> xangua: no, but I think my installation may be having some issues
[03:44] <Shirakawasuna> xangua: I've noticed that it doesn't seem to think it needs updates as often as my laptop, so something's probably wrong
[03:44] <dr3mro> create debian/control .. put the files in dirs /usr/bin * .... then dpkg-deb --build -
[03:44] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, instead of doing dpkg-deb --build
[03:44] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, do debuild -S
[03:44] <tensorpudding> that'll create the files you need
[03:45] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, cannot find readable debian/changelog anywhere!
[03:45] <Shirakawasuna> xangua: lsb_release -sc returns oneiric
[03:45] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, are you in the right directory
[03:45] <tensorpudding> you need to be in the root of the package
[03:46] <Shirakawasuna> and now I don't have any sound
[03:46] <Shirakawasuna> I'm so confused :/
[03:46] <dr3mro> tensorpudding,
[03:46] <dr3mro> tensorpudding,  yes
[03:46] <domer> exit
[03:46] <evmunro> hi
[03:46] <dr3mro> tensorpudding,  can you plz get the package and extract it http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8828739/packages/nautilus_actions_etxra/nautilus_actions_extra_0.1.2.deb
[03:47] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, then tell me how to do it
[03:47] <tensorpudding> no
[03:47] <tensorpudding> you don't understand
[03:47] <tensorpudding> you can't make a source package from a .deb
[03:47] <tensorpudding> you need the source
[03:47] <tensorpudding> which you have
[03:47] <tensorpudding> and i told you want to do
[03:47] <FloodBot1> tensorpudding: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:48] <tensorpudding> go to the directory that contains debian/ and run debuild -S
[03:50] <Milos|Netbook> ssh installed by default?
[03:50] <Milos|Netbook> what's the name of the package?
[03:50] <Milos|Netbook> openssh?
[03:50] <Milos|Netbook> sshd?
[03:51] <mxed> ssh
[03:51] <mxed> apt-get install ssh
[03:51] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, this is the source pkg i created how to make it like a source package http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8828739/usr.tar.gz
[03:52] <Milos|Netbook> thanks mxed
[03:52] <mxed> np ;)
[03:52] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, this is the files i have just bah scripts and desktop files http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8828739/usr.tar.gz
[03:53] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, i don't see why i need to look at it, if you can use dpkg to create a deb file, you can use debuild to make a source package
[03:55] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, i manully edited control file and put the scripts in files like that i want it to be extracted into system .. this is the files i did it for .. but i cant put it into launchpad as it fails to build .. i dont want to build as there is no code to compile
[03:55] <tensorpudding> packages don't need code in order to build correctly
[03:56] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, just take alook at it and you will understand
[03:56] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, the hell
[03:57] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, why are the paths prefixed by usr/bin
[03:57] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, can you tell me how to start a plain source package
[03:57] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, this is how i did make it manually
[03:57] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, it was a tutorial found it online
[03:58] <tensorpudding> you need to read the guide on packaging
[03:58] <tensorpudding> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide
[03:59] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, i have read it but failed to found how to create a package from sctarcth
[03:59] <maestrojed> Those that suggested conky forecast to me, do you pay for the XML feed? Is there an alternative solution to weather.com?
[04:00] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, first off, why are you trying to create a source package
[04:00] <somsip> maestrojed: no paying - it;s just a simple page scrape
[04:00] <maestrojed> somsip I must be following the wrong directions. :) I will keep googling
[04:00] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, why are you trying to package this pile of unrelated files
[04:01] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, to put it on launchpad and create a PPA
[04:01] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, this files are scripts i made for nautilus actions
[04:01] <somsip> maestrojed: or you could try http://rss.accuweather.com/rss/liveweather_rss.asp\?metric\=${METRIC}\&locCode\=$1
[04:02] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, first, you should organize them better
[04:02] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, strip out the usr/bin part
[04:02] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, what is all that junk in usr/share
[04:02] <tensorpudding> you have a bunch of files with garbage names
[04:03] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, this is the *.desktop  files that contains the settings of nautilus actions
[04:03] <leeping> Hi there, when I run the command "ssh -R0:laptop.dyndns.org:22 workstation.university.edu" the following is printed to stderr: "Allocated port 53393 for remote forward to laptop.dyndns.org:22" .  I would really like the number "53393" to be printed to a file on workstation.university.edu.  Is this possible?
[04:03] <mxed> delete that path then hehe and you will see
[04:04] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, it makes no sense to have .desktop files for shell scripts
[04:04] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, in any case, they should have the same names as the scripts they represent
[04:04] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, this is how nautilus-actions-config-tool works!
[04:04] <tensorpudding> it works by creating files with names as UUIDs?
[04:04] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, they don't .. wait a sec I will show you
[04:06] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, this is how it looks after install http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/4668/screenshotat20111110060.jpg
[04:08] <chenbing>  hiall ,is ubuntu's easycam2 is useful in debian+xfce4 to a webcam?
[04:08] <chenbing>
[04:08] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, are you sure they need to be named those ridiculous names?
[04:08] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, show me the debian/rules you wrote
[04:08] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, yes this is how the developer made it
[04:09] <tensorpudding> wait, did *you* make this package or did someone else?
[04:09] <obert-> 2 hd and no one would works:(
[04:09] <dr3mro> i had got the easies tutorial i will send youu link to it
[04:11] <obert-> if i get the field 'the computer needs to have at least 4.4GB free' unchecked (from the CD) should means that the disk is damaged?
[04:11] <kikebach> how to configure zyxel to create my web ?
[04:11] <skandranon> Ubuntu hates me. Upgraded my girls computer to 11.10, that was a nightmare. She HATES it! Reinstalling 10.04.3 After install (new download, new burn), the pc boots to a "blank" purple screen (the default desktop background) with nothing else. If I try to run the intsall again, it shows ubuntu 10.04.3 being installed, but everytime I boot its back to this blank screen. How can I fix this plz?
[04:11] <skpl> can someone tell me how to change the window border theme in ubuntu?
[04:11] <costre> obert-, perhaps it needs some partitioning/formatting?
[04:12] <costre> skpl, settings -> settings manager -> appearance
[04:12] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, this is all probably irrelevant, if you built a .deb from it, that means that you can build a source package
[04:12] <obert-> costre: no idea, shouldnt ask for formatting it before that step? (but after Install Ubuntu instead Try it)
[04:12] <costre> but im on kubuntu ... :)
[04:12] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, you just run debuild -S
[04:13] <wmoxam> skandranon: she hates it?
[04:13] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, no i didn't
[04:13] <xangua> !nomodeset  | skandranon
[04:13] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, you do it from the directory containing debian/
[04:13] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, you didn't?
[04:13] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, wait, someone else made that .deb?
[04:13] <skpl> costre: i want to install a theme i downloaded from gnome-look.org
[04:13] <obert-> costre: anyway started from CD and lauched gparted has returned a blank gparted window:p
[04:13] <codeshah> hmm, I just realized my innodb file is 9GB
[04:13] <codeshah> is that too large?

[04:14] <dr3mro> tensorpudding,  this is how i do it
[04:14] <tensorpudding> that documentation is hideously, totally out of date
[04:15] <star_> hi,anybody kown how to install lustre
[04:15] <skandranon> Is there a way to set !nomodeset without a reinstall? Seems like I have to do it over
[04:15] <Spartak> Anyone playing programming in visual programming in Ubuntu? Is there a visual tool more fun than Scratch and Illumination? I have tried them both, and eager to play some more tools :D
[04:16] <skandranon> @wmoxam - Yes She hates the new look, and everytime she changes monitors she has to reboot.
[04:16] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, please follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide
[04:16] <christopher> for nvidia drivers whats the difference between version current and post release?
[04:16] <pnorman> skandranon: For testing, or permanently?
[04:16] <skandranon> Permanently
[04:16] <bonhoffer> in htop there are 20 processes running and i want to kill them all
[04:16] <bonhoffer> do i need to write down their pids?
[04:17] <star_> luster who kown...
[04:17] <bonhoffer> i'm on a server . . . no gui
[04:17] <star_> lustre
[04:17] <HACKhalo2> bonhoffer, install killall and use it
[04:17] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, that doc doesn't even tell you how to do what you need to do, since it doesn't cover writing a debian/rules file
[04:17] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, rules is need to build not to create a deb
[04:17] <pnorman> skandranon: I believe it's something to do with grub-config, but not sure on the details
[04:18] <bonhoffer> HACKhalo2, ok link?
[04:18] <bonhoffer> i can't find that package
[04:19] <HACKhalo2> try to use "killall htop"
[04:19] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, i'm not sure if that's true or not, but i think you need a debian/rules to run debuild
[04:19] <bonhoffer> HACKhalo2, doesn't work at all
[04:19] <HACKhalo2> ok, just a sec
[04:19] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, thnx any wau
[04:20] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, thnx any way
[04:20] <yyyyni> I have installed Fedora16,but booting,I can't find Ubuntu.How could I make Ubuntu listed when booting?
[04:20] <tash> is there a preferred or suggested method to mount a windows share in ubuntu server?
[04:20] <HACKhalo2> bonhoffer, install the 'psmisc' package
[04:20] <tash> maybe a link to it if you have one handy? I've found several but didn't know the best way
[04:21] <bonhoffer> got it
[04:21] <tensorpudding> tash, mount.smbfs, probably
[04:21] <yyyyni> Anyone help me?
[04:21] <HACKhalo2> well the killall command is in that package
[04:22] <reo> yyyyni: Are you sure you didnt overwrite the ubuntu partition?
[04:23] <prometheanfire> hmm, anyone use any type of linux on a macbook pro 8,2?
[04:23] <Papabrvo> Trying to use old laptop drive as a usb drive. Permission is root and I am trying to change. Got the chown part but stuck on all else.....HELP
[04:23] <reo> yyyyni:Because fedora should come with GRUB that will list the operating systems on the HD when it boots
[04:24] <aeon-ltd> prometheanfire: that sounds like a recent model, why would you want to?
[04:24] <yyyyni> reo: The ubuntu partition still exits
[04:25] <reo> yyyyni: then try installing grub through fedora, I havent used Fed in a while so I dont know the specifics
[04:25] <newbie947> hi guys.  i have a blocked tcp connection from myself outgoing on port 8093.  i'm wondering what this is for?  is it anything necessary and if not how can i make it go away?
[04:25] <prometheanfire> aeon-ltd: osx keeps crashing, I've had enough of it
[04:25] <reo> yyyyni: *grub2
[04:25] <reo> Ive seen vids of ubuntu 11.xx booting on a MacBook
[04:26] <yyyyni> reo: I use the command"sudo grub-install /dev/sda",but it din't work.
[04:26] <prometheanfire> I've used linux on older macs, but I don't use this hardware by choice
[04:26] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, sorry but can you tell me how to create a simple source package for say .. HelloWorld.sh ??
[04:27] <aeon-ltd> prometheanfire: it's probably more worthwhile to troubleshoot the mac problems, before installing linux then getting a slew of potential hardware problems
[04:27] <escott> !ufw | newbie947
[04:27] <reo> yyyyni: What I did when that happened with Ubu after I installed CrunchBang is that I installed grub using the puppy linux Live CD
[04:27] <imbezol> unlike any other distribution?
[04:27] <prometheanfire> maybe, but every time I reboot it dies a little more
[04:27] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, you need to create an .install file to tell it to put the file in the right place
[04:27] <reo> yyyyni: *live usb
[04:27] <imbezol> there are tonnes of distros with built in firewalls
[04:28] <laluls212> hiii..
[04:28] <newbie947> escott: i have outgoing connections set to restrictive
[04:28] <reo> yyyyni: Other than that I woudnt be sure other than trying to install it through a live USB/CD
[04:28] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, is there a tutorial to create very simple source pacakge from scratch
[04:28] <CarlFK> imbezol: I think you misread
[04:28] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, yes
[04:28] <newbie947> escott: this was a random request from my computer on that port
[04:28] <laluls212> can someone help me with setting up wildcard subdomain in my localhost?
[04:28] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, if you run dh_make, it'll create some templates
[04:28] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, install debhelper
[04:28] <imbezol> CarlFK: so i did.. i read that as unlike
[04:29] <Elnetotaca> join #ubuntu-es
[04:29] <Elnetotaca> ???
[04:29] <Elnetotaca> how in the....
[04:29] <imbezol> CarlFK: i was like.. uh.. i guess i can think of one without it base install
[04:29] <prometheanfire> in any case, osx has been getting in my way more then it's been helping
[04:29] <CarlFK> imbezol: seemed so
[04:29] <fellayaboy> laluls212 what are you trying to do
[04:29] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, do you know how to write a makefile?
[04:29] <Elnetotaca> well
[04:29] <Elnetotaca> trying to go to the localized chanel
[04:30] <Elnetotaca> but forgot how to move around here
[04:30] <Papabrvo> Trying to use old laptop drive as a usb drive. Permission is root and I am trying to change. Got the chown part but stuck on all else.....HELP
[04:30] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/dother.en.html#install
[04:30] <CarlFK> Elnetotaca: /j #ubuntu-es
[04:30] <Elnetotaca> thanks!
[04:30] <newbie947> escott: i want to know the purpose of it.  i know what the ubuntu firewall is...
[04:30] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, create a debian/install file, and put a list of entries, one for each file, telling it where to put the files
[04:30] <tensorpudding> dr3mro, you can use the default debian/rules file
[04:31] <dr3mro> tensorpudding, ok i will see and thnx for advance
[04:32] <wunderkin> i++
[04:33] <skandranon> Just reinstalled with nomodeset checked, sitting at the same blank screen
[04:34] <Papabrvo> Trying to use old laptop drive as a usb drive. Permission is root and I am trying to change. Got the chown part but stuck on all else.....HELP
[04:35] <kulus> >Hi all
[04:36] <skandranon> 10.04.3 After install (new download, new burn), the pc boots to a "blank" purple screen (the default desktop background) with nothing else. If I try to run the intsall again, it shows ubuntu 10.04.3 being installed, but everytime I boot its back to this blank screen. How can I fix this plz? Tried to install with "nomodeset" checked, same result. :(
[04:37] <kulus> does anyone know if 32-bit Ubuntu is still more stable than 64-bit Ubuntu on a 64-bit machine?
[04:38] <tensorpudding> it's not going to be more stable or less stable
[04:38] <aeon-ltd> kulus: what you use is going to change more than a kernel that's been extensively tested
[04:39] <tonyyarusso> kulus: It's never been a question of stability, but compatibility for random third-party software, most notably Adobe Flash.
[04:40] <kulus> i find a lot of programs ie Banshee turn darker and either shutdown or become unresponsive on two of my computers
[04:40] <fernando_> klml
[04:40] <kulus> one is a desktop the other a netbook
[04:41] <tensorpudding> kulus, that means that they have bugs that caused them to become unresponsive
[04:41] <tensorpudding> or that your computer is slow enough that they lag significantly
[04:41] <kulus> they work sometimes but slowly and then later crash
[04:41] <help_seeker> excuse me!
[04:42] <help_seeker> I am a new user of ubuntu
[04:42] <kulus> I have a dual core amd and an Atom N550
[04:42] <help_seeker> especially a new user of lunix based OS
[04:42] <tensorpudding> kulus, you need to clarify which programs do this
[04:43] <tensorpudding> ubuntu is going to be someone strained on an atom
[04:43] <tensorpudding> especially if your RAM is a gigabyte
[04:43] <kulus> tensorpudding - Banshee, Update Manager, File Manager, quite a few
[04:43] <kulus> I have 1gb
[04:43] <help_seeker> And I want to get some help about how to Install a new software in Ubuntu
[04:43] <kulus> ddr3
[04:43] <tensorpudding> banshee is not very stable, it's a resource hog
[04:44] <tensorpudding> it's unfortunate that it's the default music player
[04:44] <kulus> good to know
[04:44] <tensorpudding> the others are probably due to bugs
[04:44] <tensorpudding> which version of ubuntu?
[04:44] <help_seeker> 11.10
[04:44] <tensorpudding> can you reproduce the behavior?
[04:44] <kulus> other than the annoying crasher I like Banshee
[04:44] <kulus> 11.10
[04:44] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, open the Ubuntu Software Center, and you'll find a lot of software you can install
[04:45] <help_seeker> No through tetrminal
[04:45] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, do you really want to use the terminal?
[04:45] <help_seeker> not from soft center
[04:45] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, to install software from the terminal, use apt-get
[04:45] <help_seeker> yes. I am given this task
[04:45] <kulus> I'm using 11.10
[04:45] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, the manual is at 'man apt-get'
[04:45] <tensorpudding> kulus, okay
[04:45] <kulus> unity
[04:46] <tensorpudding> kulus, can you reproduce the crash of file manager?
[04:46] <kulus> I'm willing to go to lubuntu if it would help
[04:46] <help_seeker> I have installed two software which According to me was succesfully installed in Ubuntu.
[04:46] <tensorpudding> kulus, does this crash come with a popup saying that it has crashed?
[04:46] <help_seeker> But I can not fined them in side my PC any where
[04:47] <help_seeker> sorry find
[04:47] <amasawa> i'm trying to check something out and i need someone willing to run a Grep command for me, and tell me what result they get. grep '\(^.\).\{1,15}\1' testfile.txt and then try grep '\(^.\)*\{1,15}\1' testfile.txt and pastie the output of the latter command for me
[04:47] <amasawa> i am trying to decide if it's a bug or not with grep
[04:47] <kulus> I can't reproduce it right now, the pop up comes up occasionally but not consistently sometimes it just gets darker and then I can't use it for a while
[04:48] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, what did you install, did it install successfully, and have you checked that the files from the package are on your computer, and that apt knows they are installed?
[04:49] <tensorpudding> kulus, the "getting darker" means that it is unresponsive due to either getting frozen or just being overloaded
[04:49] <tensorpudding> kulus, usually it should go away if you leave it alone for a bit
[04:49] <kulus> tensorpudding - would lubuntu help me with the overload?
[04:49] <tensorpudding> kulus, getting this a lot usually means that your hardware is overtaxed
[04:49] <help_seeker> yes the package was successfully installed.
[04:49] <tensorpudding> kulus, which would make somse sense on a netbook
[04:49] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, how do you know that you can't find them
[04:50] <help_seeker> ./congfigure then make then make install
[04:50] <kulus> lubuntu 32-bit then?
[04:50] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, don't install software that way
[04:50] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, unless you know what you're doing
[04:50] <help_seeker> these were the command used as told in manual
[04:50] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, install software using apt
[04:51] <tensorpudding> kulus, lubuntu uses different tools than regular ubuntu, they use less resources, for your netbook it might be a good idea to try it
[04:51] <kulus> it is a 64-bit machine
[04:51] <help_seeker> but what if I only have the source code not the binary files?
[04:51] <tensorpudding> kulus, you can use lubuntu with 64-bit
[04:51] <kulus> can it utilize 64-bit with lubuntu
[04:52] <help_seeker> will apt-get work with them
[04:52] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, you should check to see if what you tried to install is in the apt repositories
[04:52] <mxed> or use the  software center or synaptic (you need to install synaptic from apt or the center
[04:52] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, by searching for it
[04:52] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, on http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[04:52] <kulus> thank you tensorpudding
[04:52] <kulus> I'll grab my usb
[04:52] <help_seeker> Ok thanks!
[04:52] <help_seeker> One more question
[04:52] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, without knowing what it is you installed using make, we have no idea how to help you
[04:53] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, there's no guarantee it'll work at all
[04:53] <help_seeker> Why does banshee not support MP3 format
[04:53] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, the apt repos package up the software, make sure it works with ubuntu, so it's almost always better to get it from there
[04:54] <xangua> help_seeker: because you haven't installed codecs¿
[04:54] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, it's due to you not having the codecs installed for it
[04:54] <bandit5432>  nouveau  cant get it to reinstall after installing nvidia-current
[04:54] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, the codecs are the decoders that "read" the files so that banshee can play them
[04:54] <booh-> Hi, Is it possible to take a running ubuntu box and convert it to virtual machine in vmware "as is" ?

[04:55] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[04:56] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, an explanation why the codecs aren't included, and how to get them
[04:56] <help_seeker> tensorpudding, please give me your email or any other contact so that I will discuss my problem with you in detail
[04:56] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, i would rather not
[04:56] <xangua> Lostmonk: if you have oneiric, enable proposed and backport updates; see if there is a libimoviledevice update ;)
[04:56] <xangua> or downgrade to iOS 4
[04:56] <tash> I'm following a tutorial, but it doesn't seem to be accomplishing what I want.  I  put the following in /etc/fstab and it mounts on boot, but things are writeable.  Is that a permissions issue on my Windows box I need to modify? Or, am I doing something wrong in fstab? //MyPC/Users        /mnt/data       cifs    credentials=/etc/.smbcredentials,dmask=777,fmask=777    0       0
[04:56] <tash> aren't writeable*
[04:56] <tensorpudding> help_seeker, sharing email with people on the internet invites a level of availability that i'm not at all comfortable with
[04:57] <Lostmonk> thanks xangua
[04:57] <Lostmonk> how do I do that?
[04:57] <Lostmonk> :)
[04:57] <tash> and that is all one line, sorry, my chat client wrapped it

[05:03] <amasawa> guest89: irssi
[05:03] <help_seeker>  please give me a link to a mp3 code which work with Banshee
[05:03] <OliveGreen> How do I start an indicator that I've just installed in Gnome Shell?
[05:03] <bandit5432> any ideas on how to get nouveau to work after installing nvidia-current?
[05:03] <aschool> Could someone point me in a direction to debug my disappearing mouse problem? I've use Linux for years but haven't been able to find any good leads on the problem.
[05:03] <guest89> tensorpudding: understood.
[05:03] <aeon-ltd> guest89: also don't run polls when busy, or generally in large channels
[05:04] <guest89> I was looking at Konversation, but it said that it runs on KDE and/or GNOME - I'm on Unity 2D. Would there be any problems for me?
[05:04] <amasawa> guest89: you can pm me if you want about it
[05:04] <tensorpudding> guest89, do a search for IRC in the software center, and pick a few, and try them out
[05:04] <iceroot> guest89: you can use it with unity-2d too
[05:04] <tensorpudding> guest89, not at all, it's based on KDE but you can use it in Ubuntu fine
[05:04] <guest89> Thanks for all the fast responses, everyone. I'll try a few out now.
[05:05] <pr0tocoldan> My DVD Rom is not working. It spins but it drivers don't seem to be installed how can I troubleshoot this problem?
[05:06] <tensorpudding> OliveGreen, i think you can install extensions using gnome-tweak-tool, it might be better to ask in #gnome
[05:06] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, does dmesg give you any clues?
[05:07] <tensorpudding> OliveGreen, i've not tried before, but they should appear after restarting gnome-shell with alt-f2 then r
[05:07] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, all I get is unable to enumerate device on USB port 5
[05:08] <pr0tocoldan> USB device on port 5
[05:08] <rhollan> Can someone PLEASE tell me how to get a unity desktop launched to work? What context is the command run in?
[05:08] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, what brand/model is it?
[05:08] <rhollan> launcher, that is
[05:09] <pr0tocoldan> I haven't been able to find it. It's the stock DVD rom an an HP dv2000
[05:09] <pr0tocoldan> asschool, it's the stock DVD Rom on an HP dv2000
[05:09] <rhollan> I've set EXEC to /usr/bin/java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp ~/minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame which works fine in an xterm shell, but not from within a .desktop file
[05:09] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, what interface does it use?
[05:10] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, USB I assume?
[05:10] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, I'm not sure. Is there a command to tell?
[05:11] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, Is it internal or external?
[05:11] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, internal
[05:11] <rhollan> anyone here understand .desktop files?
[05:12] <OliveGreen> tensorpudding, Actually I all needed to do was to restart Gnome and activate the indicator from Gnome-Tweak-Tool. So, thanks for reminding me to restart Gnome. :-)
[05:12] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, I don't think that the USB message from dmesg is your clue. Look for either sdc, sda, sd?, or hd?
[05:14] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, all I get from the command is 1037.176137] hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 5 with variation in --- 1037.176137]
[05:14] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, try dmesg | more
[05:14] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, I get the same
[05:14] <Milossh> hello. Did anyone managed to install xulrunner on oneiric?
[05:16] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, try "cat /var/log/dmesg"
[05:17] <stochastic> hey has anyone had trouble getting ubuntu one folders to sync?
[05:18] <Axumus> .
[05:18] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, what should I be looking for?
[05:18] <oupateddie> hi, anybody knows what could be causing a machine to have the processor run at 100% but where there is nou processes showing in the monitor screen. The Internet access is zero and the memory usage is 400Mb. There is only the system monitor process show more than 10% usage...
[05:18] <rhollan> ARG! Figured it out: ~ was not being expanded on the Exec= line.
[05:19] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, sdc or something and a line that contains DVD. It tell you where to find the DVD player.
[05:19] <rhollan> Grrr.
[05:19] <tonyyarusso> oupateddie: In the menu, go under View - if you don't have "All processes" selected then select it
[05:19] <oupateddie> will quickly look
[05:20] <oupateddie> ity is greyed out and I canot change it
[05:21] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, Do you have any ideas about my mouse problem?
[05:22] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, your mouse problem?
[05:22] <oupateddie> how/where would I change the view all processes
[05:22] <beatbreaker> * test
[05:22] <bandit5432> Milossh, are you running 64 bit?
[05:22] <aschool> About ever week or more my mouse cursor will disappear. It still works and I can click and see it highlight but I can't see the cursor.
[05:22] <tonyyarusso> oupateddie: From the menus at the top of the system monitor window
[05:22] <Milossh> bandit5432, nope, 32bit
[05:23] <bandit5432> Milossh, still looking then
[05:23] <bandit5432> Milossh, they kicked xulrunner from oneiric
[05:23] <bandit5432> Milossh, you can get a version that might work for you at http://launchpadlibrarian.net/70321863/xulrunner-1.9.2_<IP_ADDRESS>%2Bbuild3%2Bnobinonly-0ubuntu1_i386.deb
[05:23] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, I cannot find any sdc or DVD in any of the lines
[05:24] <bandit5432> Milossh, i dont know if thats a current version or not
[05:24] <oupateddie> tonyyarusso	On the top menu the View screen is all greyed ouit and I cannot get into it to change anything
[05:25] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, Try this tail -f /var/log/dmesg and see if any messages show up. Press ctl-c to quit
[05:25] <tonyyarusso> oupateddie: Are you on the processes tab?
[05:25] <bjrohan> I have 2 issues I could use help with 1.)I have Ubuntu on a dual boot system for about a month. Prior to 2 ours ago I could access all files on the NTFS partition. Now however if I double click on a file on that partition, it will only open in Read Only mode as the file is "locked". This happens in several applications, any idea why?
[05:25] <oupateddie> ah got it thanks
[05:26] <bandit5432> bjrohan, did you run windows and have it crash?
[05:27] <bjrohan> bandit5432 nope. I haven't used windows in about 3 weeks :-)
[05:27] <bandit5432> bjrohan, if the drive looks liked its not clean the ntfs drivers will not like mounting it r/w
[05:28] <bjrohan> bandit5432 can I remedy this by running anything in Ubuntu, or should I boot into windows and check the partition?
[05:29] <bandit5432> bjrohan, if its an external drive and gets unplugged it can cause that
[05:29] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, I get invatid option -- F if i add it next to cat, I get command not found if I remove cat and I get invalid option if i placed after /var/log/dmesg
[05:29] <bandit5432> bjrohan, i would run windows and do a disk check
[05:29] <bjrohan> bandit5432 - this HD is in my laptop, same drive 2 partitions, one with WIndows, the other with Ubuntu
[05:30] <bandit5432> bjrohan, hmm you might still run a disk check on it from windows
[05:31] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, am I putting the command wrong?
[05:32] <bjrohan> Will do bandit5432. One other issue. My sound works fine in Ubuntu, until I play certain games on Facebook in Chrome, then from that point on my wireless gets painfully slow, and any and all audio is garbled. I think it is some, but not all, facebook games. Any ideas what may cause this?
[05:32] <bandit5432> bjrohan, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[05:32] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, "tail -f /var/log/dmesg"
[05:32] <bjrohan> Bandit5432 turning the computer off and back on does not remedy the problem, I must stop networking, then restart it. Ubuntu 11.10
[05:33] <bjrohan> Bandit5432 turning the computer off and back on does not remedy the problem, I must stop networking, then restart it. Ubuntu 11.10
[05:33] <skandranon> 10.04.3 After install (new download, new burn), the pc boots to a "blank" purple screen (the default desktop background) with nothing else. If I try to run the intsall again, it shows ubuntu 10.04.3 being installed, but everytime I boot its back to this blank screen. How can I fix this plz? Tried to install with "nomodeset" checked, same result. :( ... Downloaded the "Alt" install cd, burned it and tried again. (Think this how I made it work
[05:33] <bandit5432> bjrohan, i dont know about that
[05:34] <skandranon> Install the base system Please insert the disc labeled: 'Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS _Lucid Lynx_ - Release i386 in the drive. This is what I put in.. no?
[05:34] <bjrohan> okay I have no problem just staying away from those games if that is indeed the problem
[05:34] <bjrohan> BRB bandit5432 I will go to windoze and run disk check
[05:34] <bjrohan> thank you for your input
[05:34] <pr0tocoldan> ppdev: user-space parallel port driver , forcedeth 0000:00:0a.0: irq 42 for MSI/MSI-X ,forcedeth 0000:00:0a.0: eth0: no link during initialization ,ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[05:35] <urlin2u> skandranon, you run nomodeset in the kernel after installing to get to a low graphic boot then install the graphic drivers.
[05:35] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, ppdev: user-space parallel port driver , forcedeth 0000:00:0a.0: irq 42 for MSI/MSI-X ,forcedeth 0000:00:0a.0: eth0: no link during initialization ,ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[05:35] <osmosis> how can I do window color inversions in ubuntu 11.10 ?
[05:35] <bandit5432> pr0tocoldan, re input ifconfig eth0 up
[05:36] <skandranon> urtin2u I have no idea how to do that. After installing, I only get a blank screen, and nothing changed that but the power button.
[05:36] <bandit5432> pr0tocoldan, sudo ifconfig eth0 up
[05:37] <urlin2u> skandranon, hit e at the grub menu navigate with the arrow keys to where it says splash and type in nomodeset before it.
[05:37] <pr0tocoldan> bandit5432, is this for the DVD rom?
[05:37] <bandit5432> no its for the ethernet error you just posted
[05:37] <urlin2u> skandranon, then boot I think with crtl-x
[05:38] <bandit5432> pr0tocoldan, i didnt catch the dvd error you had
[05:38] <skandranon> ok, so reinstall again (stuck half way though, again) then reboot and hit E while it is booting?
[05:38] <eHAPPY> Can i view where a NFS is mounted on a client from my server?
[05:38] <pr0tocoldan> bandit5432, I'm using wireless because the ethernet port female is broken. I'm trying to diagnose the problem with DVD rom is not working
[05:39] <bandit5432> pr0tocoldan, what is not working with the dvd?
[05:39] <urlin2u> skandranon, at the grub menu not booting make the change by adding nomodeset then boot with crtl-x. If your not getting the grub menu tap the left shift at powering on till you do
[05:39] <pr0tocoldan> bandit5432, WHen I insert a CD it doens't read it. It spins, makes noise, light flashes but does not read.
[05:40] <bandit5432> pr0tocoldan, what do you mean it does not read it?
[05:40] <pr0tocoldan> it does not show the content of it
[05:40] <bandit5432> pr0tocoldan, is it not being mounted/
[05:40] <skandranon> ok, thank you, will try that
[05:40] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, can you post the /var/log/dmesg file somewhere so I can look at it?
[05:40] <urlin2u> !nomodeset | skandranon
[05:41] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, let me try to do that.
[05:41] <pr0tocoldan> bandit5432, it doesnt mount it i guess. I cant see the content show up in computer.
[05:42] <bandit5432> i see that aschool is helping you i will let him
[05:42] <dsnyders> Hi all!  I recall a website that walked you through updating a linux install to make it useful (installing media players, updating repository lists, etc).  Is there such a site for Ubuntu?  My firefox is way out of date (3.x) and apt-get update doesn't update it.
[05:42] <aschool> bandit5432, feel free to jump in I was just trying to help someone while I was waiting for someone to help me with my cursor problem.
[05:43] <bandit5432> aschool, i am exhausted i will let you help :)
[05:43] <aschool> ok
[05:43] <semitones> dsnyders: it would be hard to make a site like that to fit everyone's definition of "useful," however it's really easy to install the up to date firefox ppa's
[05:45] <urlin2u> skandranon, in other words it is not the installs that will fix this but what you do with it so finish the install, kowing that reinstalling is not the fix and ask for help if this nomodeset addition to the kernel in the grub menu escapes you.
[05:46] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, https://sites.google.com/site/protocoldan/linux
[05:47] <dsnyders> semitones, they had their own definition.  Something to do with installing media players that were excluded because they might be illegal in certain countries.
[05:48] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, 2.991192 is where it talks abut the DVD-ROM
[05:48] <semitones> dsnyders: sounds like the codec needed for playing DVDs
[05:49] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, wrong sorry
[05:49] <semitones> !dvd > dsnyders if that's what you're after
[05:49] <dsnyders> semitones, perhaps.  Anyways, they walked you through adding a few repositories to allow that.  Livna? maybe?
[05:50] <semitones> dsnyders: i've never heard of it :(
[05:50] <semitones> dsnyders: firefox: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/11/firefox-8-officially-released/
[05:54] <dsnyders> semitones, I guess what I want to know is if there is a list of extra repositories with more up to date software than the official repositories (which seem to have really old versions of some software)?
[05:54] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, not sure what this is about? [    2.408894] ata2: port disabled. ignoring.
[05:54] <semitones> dsnyders: there are, but there isn't one mega repository with everything. You have to look for each program you want to risk separately
[05:55] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, is there a way to enable it?
[05:56] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, Is it disabled in the bios?
[05:56] <semitones> dsnyders: the ubuntu repos are pretty up to date compared to debian -- updated with every release, and tested
[05:56] <dsnyders> semitones, pity.  BTW, livna was a "super-repository" for Fedora.
[05:56] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, How did you install linux on it in the first place? Did the drive work under windows?
[05:56] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, I used a live USB, But the drive worked with linux before i format it the pc
[05:57] <semitones> dsnyders: sometimes the new software is held back because of compatibility problems -- so be careful when you install the ppas
[05:57] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, It must be a driver/module issue. I don't see that the drive has been loaded from the dmesg log.
[05:58] <dsnyders> !ppa
[05:59] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, is there a program out there that that helps locating drivers? The thing is that it worked before but the only drivers I can find on the HP website are for windows
[05:59] <{bosco}> ok so i have disabled root acess to my server via ssh but my other user now has acess to root what now?
[05:59] <t2mahesh> is it possible to filter http content before being received by web browser?
[06:00] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, I would boot from the live install and open a command prompt when the drive is working and type lsmod to list the drives loaded. Then compare that to when it is booted under your current install.
[06:00] <aschool> pr0tocoldan, Sorry I can't help more but I have to run.
[06:00] <iceroot> t2mahesh: proxy (squid) + content-filter (dansguardian)
[06:00] <pr0tocoldan> aschool, alright I'll give that a try. I really appreciate your help!
[06:01] <t2mahesh> iceroot: thanks
[06:03] <harsh343> how can i remove multiple option os from boot menu
[06:03] <tonyyarusso> Hi, I'm having trouble adding a Microsoft Exchange e-mail account to Evolution.  It's telling me "The Exchange server is not compatible with Exchange Connector.  The server is running Exchange 5.5.  Exchange Connector supports Microsoft Exchange 2000 and 2003 only."  However, the server is running Exchange 2010, not 5.5.
[06:05] <{bosco}> ok so i have disabled root acess to my server via ssh but my other user now has acess to root what now?
[06:05] <tensorpudding> {bosco}, what do you mean, your other user now has access to root?
[06:06] <tensorpudding> {bosco}, users in the admin group will always be able to sudo unless you configure it otherwise
[06:07] <{bosco}> tensorpudding: i know this i have disabled ssh to root and now bosco has access to root what are the benifets to that other than it is being logged when he uses it ?
[06:07] <tensorpudding> {bosco}, what is the benefit to what?
[06:08] <wardensky> hi
[06:08] <{bosco}> tensorpudding: disabling root login via ssh and making bosco have root access>
[06:08] <wardensky> hi
[06:08] <tensorpudding> {bosco}, the advantage is that bots that hammer your ssh server trying to log in as root will always fail
[06:08] <tensorpudding> {bosco}, but it doesn't matter since root is locked from direct login by default in ubuntu
[06:09] <{bosco}> tensorpudding: not on ubuntu server
[06:09] <tensorpudding> they'd have to guess your username bosco, and then guess your password
[06:09] <{bosco}> right
[06:09] <{bosco}> ok
[06:09] <{bosco}> ust cant think this late for some reason lol tensorpudding any other reason
[06:09] <iceroot> is there a tool (by default) which can display the folders as a tree?
[06:09] <bjrohan> I have a dual boot laptop with Ubuntu and Windows, for quite some time I was able to access the windows partition where it was mounted /mnt/Windows now in nautlius that folder has a lock on it. I can see the files in nautlius, but can not change them. I can open them in read only. Any suggestions? I have run a check disk in WIndows andstill have the same issus
[06:09] <pnorman> !noroot
[06:11] <wardensky> anybody familiar with PXE?
[06:11] <{bosco}> then why not just change the port that root logs into on tensorpudding or is port scanning to easy for a bot to get by?
[06:11] <OliveGreen> Hi all. I am using gdm instead of lightgdm, but gdm is asking for my password every startup, how do I make it log in automatically?
[06:11] <tensorpudding> {bosco}, you can't have ssh listen on multiple ports
[06:11] <tensorpudding> and anyway i don't think it matters
[06:11] <wardensky> Can the PXE client and the PXE server not in the same subnet?
[06:11] <bjrohan> What allow me to view files and folders of an NTFS partition, to open files from that partition, but not save them? In Nautilus, the /mnt/Windows folder has a lock on it
[06:12] <bjrohan> What would allow me to view files and folders of an NTFS partition, to open files from that partition, but not save them? In Nautilus, the /mnt/Windows folder has a lock on it
[06:12] <pnorman> on systems that are setup with a root account you can't generally log in as ssh as root, you have to log in as another user and then su to root
[06:12] <{bosco}> tensorpudding: i know this but i can chnage the port default from 22 to ssh -p (whatever port i want to) @myserver.com
[06:12] <{bosco}> within sshd_config
[06:12] <tensorpudding> yes
[06:12] <tensorpudding> you can change the port, for the whole thing
[06:12] <tensorpudding> i don't think it'll really help
[06:13] <tensorpudding> it'd still be visible from a scan on all ports
[06:13] <tensorpudding> assuming your firewall isn't blocking it
[06:13] <sion> OliveGreen there should be an option to log in automatically for your username under "User Accounts" in your preferences
[06:13] <{bosco}> tensorpudding: im not a hacker so i am just trying to understand this it is 2 easy for them to figure out that i have changed it and what port it is ( i also use bastille)
[06:14] <OliveGreen> sion, Oh yeah. That's right. :-)
[06:14] <OliveGreen> sion, Thanks. :-)
[06:15] <sion> no problem OliveGreen :-)
[06:15] <bjrohan> What would allow me to view files and folders of an NTFS partition, to open files from that partition, but not save them? In Nautilus, the /mnt/Windows folder has a lock on it
[06:16] <sion> bjrohan you've repeated yourself a lot. Are you able to save files as root? It could be you have bad permissions...
[06:16] <silverskater> bjrohan: mount the partition as read only
[06:17] <Xenplex> that floodbot3 s absolutely annyoing -.-
[06:17] <sion> ^ are we being flooded by floodbots?
[06:17] <silverskater> guys, I have a strange but annoying bug, from time to time the control, alt or shift keys remain pressed in ubuntu 11.10
[06:17] <silverskater> any idea what's causing it?
[06:17] <haylo> ummm
[06:18] <sion> bjrohan you can also try forcing the partition to mount with read-write instead of read-only, also it could be a bad option of fstype, some (like the one I use at home) don't support read/write for NTFS, it's read-only
[06:20] <sion> silverskater, have you used those keys for any shortcut combinations? (Just guessing blindly)
[06:20] <bjrohan> sion I run gksu nautilus, and now when I do it won's show the folder in my Ubuntu home folder. They show up when I run Nautilus normally
[06:20] <silverskater> sure, I'm alt-tabbing all the time
[06:20] <{bosco}> ok here is my proposal i have setup an ubuntu server and i want to see if someone can hack it ? is someone up to the task>
[06:21] <{bosco}> just for fun
