[20:13] <ScatterBrain> Is there a way to force mounted file systems to show up along the right side of the desktop instead of the left?  (ie mimic the mac)
[20:13] <orangeglo> i might not have
[20:14] <orangeglo> blue_anna: i might not have
[20:14] <blue_anna> orangeglo: if you didnt then you should be fine
[20:14] <ubuntunewbie> Anyne know what's wrong ?  i have another problem , why my mount drive name show as  UUID ?
[20:14] <orangeglo> blue_anna: but what if i set it to this profiile that im on?
[20:14] <ubuntunewbie> thank you
[20:14] <blue_anna> orangeglo: got a different keyboard layout specified in the terminal than you use normally?
[20:14] <Pici> orangeglo: the first user on the system has access to sudo, any user created afterwards would need to be put into the 'admin' group.
[20:14] <orangeglo> blue_anna: nope
[20:15] <blue_anna> orangeglo: you shouldnt have to do anything with it .. leave it alone :)
[20:15] <orangeglo> pici: this is the only user i have made with ubuntu
[20:15] <ross_> i just installed 1004, i tried to use sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras to get flash working, but the command does not work, can someone please help me
[20:15] <AliXer> hi Guys.
[20:15] <orangeglo> blue_anna: but when sudo asks me for my password it says incorrect. dont i need to access sudo in order to do certain things?
[20:15] <Pici> orangeglo: What password are you putting in?
[20:15] <orangeglo> pici: my log in password
[20:15] <lobozoo> is the ubuntu one music store anygood?
[20:16] <blue_anna> orangeglo: you'll need it to follow those instructions ...
[20:16] <orangeglo> blue_anna: im unsure of how to bypass sudo in order to get something to follow my instructions though
[20:16] <blue_anna> orangeglo: what langauge do you use? did you install in one language and then change to another after?
[20:16] <orangeglo> blue_anna: nope. english from the beginning
[20:16] <bradpitt> ross_, what error msg did you get?
[20:17] <blue_anna> orangeglo: sudo doesnt ask for root passwrod -- it asks for your password
[20:17] <MaJic_NinJa> does any 1 know how to get the drag windows to different workstation fixed?
[20:17] <orangeglo> blue_anna: im aware that it wants my log in password. and that is what i am giving it
[20:17] <orangeglo> blue_anna: obviously my log in password works ;)
[20:17] <ph33r> I am using lucid, when I open emerald theme manager, it closes, I got this from the terminal, could anyone guide me what's wrong ? http://pastebin.com/D5X8Vizy
[20:17] <AliXer> ross_ : http://theindexer.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-10-04-aka-lucid-lynx/
[20:17] <djzn> hello... I am having a strange issue... when I first turn on my computer every day... for the past couple of days, ubuntu "turns off" the computer, just before entering GDM.... how do I trace this log?
[20:18] <ross_> bradpitt: nevermind, i must have mistyped or something
[20:18] <christopherz> Yeah, I have a bit of an issue. Trying to run xampp but my htdocs has the wrong priveliges. I can't seem to change it..
[20:18] <christopherz> on Ubuntu 10.04
[20:18] <orangeglo> anyone here have trouble getting their mic to work when they installed ubuntu?
[20:18] <dupondje> I switched to the nvidia driver, and now my pc lags when I scroll fastly, any idea whats causing that ? :(
[20:18] <christopherz> by the way, I'm madly in love in 10.04.
[20:19] <soupdragon> I can't get 10.04 to boot once it's installed on my mac pro -- any thoughts?
[20:19] <blue_anna> orangeglo: I'm not convinced. something is keeping it from getting entered clearly at the prompt when you try to do sudo .. or else you installed another account before yours, and then forgot about it .. or else something very starange with your system/install -- sudo mostly "just works" out of the box
[20:19] <DivinusVox> christopherz: htdocs should be set to the user:group specified in your Apache config.
[20:19] <christopherz> great. Tnx a lot DivinusVox!
[20:20] <orangeglo> blue_anna:  i ran linux mint before this. would that effect it?
[20:20] <ross_> alixer: thank you
[20:20] <ross_> alixer : thank you
[20:21] <AliXer> ross_ : :)
[20:21] <Pici> orangeglo: Can you paste the output of    id   ?
[20:21] <orangeglo> pici: how would i do that?
[20:21] <raffairon> hi guys, i have a problem with the printer
[20:21] <blue_anna> orangeglo: type "id" at the prompt, copy the results, and paste it :) it's only 1 line
[20:21] <Pici> orangeglo: open a terminal, type: id, press enter and paste the line that it gives you in here.
[20:21] <ph33r> any ideas about glib ?
[20:21] <dupondje> Any idea's ? :(
[20:22] <fallore> when i start ubuntu 10.xx (which i upgraded from 9.xx) it gets to a screen with a purple background, which says Ubuntu 10.04 (i think) and has four dots under it. i can switch to a terminal and run startx, but i'd like to go back to the old graphical login interface. can anyone help?
[20:22] <schultza> is cvs a signed/authenticated package?
[20:22] <Pici> !emerald | ph33r

[20:22] <blue_anna> orangeglo: that's on lucid?
[20:22] <Pici> orangeglo: You aren't in the admin group, so you cannot use sudo.
[20:22] <ghoulmann> Re: NM-applet. it shows up and does its thing on the livecd. but on my installed machines, the applet can't be placed on the status bar and I can't find a way to invoke nm-applet. Any suggestions?
[20:22] <dupondje> hmz Xorg seems to go to 100% cpu :(
[20:22] <ph33r> Pici: does that mean that I can't use emerald themes anymore in lucid ?
[20:23] <archangelpetro> dupondje: what version of ubuntu 10.4?
[20:23] <blue_anna> that's bad. your admin group should be "admin" not "adm"
[20:23] <orangeglo> pici: how can i put myself in the admin group?
[20:23] <Pici> ph33r: It hasn't been supported for a few versions.
[20:23] <soreau> ph33r: you can still use emerald themes
[20:23] <orangeglo> blue_anna:  uh oh
[20:23] <dupondje> archangelpetro: how you mean ? Lucid ?
[20:23] <Pici> blue_anna: adm is a separate valid group.
[20:23] <ph33r> soreau: but my emerald theme manager closes once I click on it
[20:23] <ph33r> Pici: what do I use then ? please don't tell me metacity :(
[20:23] <AliXer> fallore : Why don't you make Ubuntu 10.04 Clean Install.
[20:24] <archangelpetro> dupondje: nevermind, i just meant what version are u using? just cuz i haven't upgraded yet :)
[20:24] <soreau> ph33r: If it's an emerald bug, there's nothing we can do because it's unsupported. Did you install any themes yet? If so remove them and see if it still happens
[20:24] <Pici> ph33r: talk to soreau, he seems to think that you can use emerald.
[20:24] <blue_anna> Pici: but its the wrong group -- and I'd guess its the old group he was in before he migrated to ubuntu ?
[20:24] <raffairon> my printer works correctly, but i cannot set the manual feeder. Only with the gutenprint driver i get some sort of manual feeder, in the sense that it wait for me to press the printer button before start to printing, but then print all the pages consecutively. I want that the printer wait for every page
[20:24] <blue_anna> orangeglo: see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo booting into recovery mode
[20:24] <Sam_Fisher> How to edit the context menu right click menu?
[20:24] <DivinusVox> Anyone know what syntax I can use to append the string: $db_url = 'mysql://$user:$pass@$host/$database'; into a file where $db_url is taken literally and the other variables are inserted properly? I've had trouble where the string contains 's.
[20:24] <ph33r> soreau: it starts whenever I install any theme, without themes the manager works but what's the point ? heh
[20:25] <crdlb> Sam_Fisher: on what?
[20:25] <xloosescrewx> I was wondering if it is possible to use activex with ubuntu/linux
[20:25] <Sam_Fisher> crdlb, 10.04
[20:25] <crdlb> Sam_Fisher: I mean: where is the context menu you want to edit?
[20:25] <ShadowApex1> xloosescrewx: Only with Wine and IE
[20:26] <soreau> ph33r: Remove all themes (rm ~/.emerald) then install http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/e/emerald-themes/emerald-themes_0.2.1-0ubuntu1_all.deb
[20:26] <Sam_Fisher> crdlb, I would like to add sub to the Copy To and move to menu. LIke Move to Videos folder and Move to Pictures folder
[20:26] <denny> creating a software raid-5 while installing ubuntu server...  should I create one full-disk RAID device, and then smaller partitions inside that, or multiple RAID devices the size of the partitions I eventually want?
[20:26] <guntbert> blue_anna: the first user is in *both* groups by default
[20:26] <ph33r> soreau: ok I will try that
[20:26] <xloosescrewx> oh so under "normal" useage it wont work.
[20:26] <blue_anna> guntbert: well, he fell out then :P
[20:27] <blue_anna> guntbert: he pasted his id results and wasnt in the admin group
[20:27] <raffairon> how can i make my printer wait for me to press the printer's button before printing any page?
[20:27] <xloosescrewx> Thank you
[20:27] <guntbert> blue_anna: I saw that and reacted to your "its the wrong group..."
[20:28] <michelle_> how do i get aircrack-ng
[20:28] <lei3> BlueEagle: any ideas?
[20:28] <mcl0vin> i am trying to build my knowladgr base in trouble shooting, and there is something that i dont understand : for example when i do lsi "00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation E7230/3000/3010 PCI Express Root Port" what is the '00:01.0' reference to?
[20:28] <crdlb> Sam_Fisher: you should be able to do something like that with the nautilus-actions package
[20:28] <ShadowApex1> xloosescrewx: Yeah, ActiveX is only compatible with IE as it's proprietary
[20:28] <lei3> BlueEagle: I guess i'll have to repartition, since I can't seem to find any other solution.
[20:28] <AliXer> michelle_ : sudo apt-get install aircrack-ng
[20:28] <k-rad> where can i check if the HP laserjet 6p is working under lucid ?
[20:29] <blue_anna> guntbert: oo, its because he migrated his system from mint linux. I remember using that and the admin group in that linux distro was called "adm" .. migrating to ubuntu, I lost admin privledges and had to boot to the cd to fix it
[20:29] <Hydester> is there an easy way to install madwifi without compiling, etc?
[20:29] <raffairon> @k-rad: put that model here http://www.openprinting.org/printers
[20:29] <acerimmer> k-rad: it works.  i've got one.  configure it and send a test page
[20:30] <michelle_> alixer do u know where it saves it to how can i access it after i get it
[20:30] <CaptainTrek> is it possible to use the older-style login interfaces which dont list the  users who are on the system?  Lucid 10.04
[20:30] <Sam_Fisher> crdlb, I added the action pack
[20:30] <lei3> Anyone know how to fix the error 2 grub stage 1.5 booting problem? After installing windows, i had ran grub and did root (hd0,0) and setup (hd0). Here's my partition information http://pastebin.com/w2PPvWj8
[20:31] <guntbert> blue_anna: I didn't know that (from mint), but please let him keep his adm membership as well :-), its a valid and necessary group in ubuntu too
[20:31] <acerimmer> CaptainTrek: yes.  install ubuntu tweak and change the login settings
[20:31] <wad> *cry* First day on the job, they let me use linux, but I can't get a decent video mode out of my new laptop.
[20:31] <ph33r> soreau: didn't work out even then, whenever I click on any theme the manager just closes
[20:31] <AliXer> michelle_ : see my private message
[20:31] <blue_anna> guntbert: ok
[20:31] <soreau> ph33r: Have you restarted compiz and emerald since installing emerald?
[20:32] <lobozoo> how do you delete ".gconf/apps/rhythmbox"
[20:32] <ph33r> soreau: no, how do I do that ?
[20:32] <ph33r> soreau: reboot ?
[20:32] <soreau> ph33r: Well, have you re-logged in since installing emerald?
[20:32] <OiPenguin> Evince is unable to open e-mail attachments with spaces in the file name directly. They need to be saved than opened. Should this be reported as a bug to Evince, Ubuntu or Opera (mail client)?
[20:32] <ph33r> soreau: nopes, should I relogin or reboot ?
[20:32] <raffairon> anyone knows how to make the printer wait for me to press the printer's button before printing a page? I can do that on windows easily, cannot get it on ubuntu
[20:32] <tdn> How do I make my netbook automatically connect to open wireless networks if they are available? Even before a user is logged in?
[20:33] <Krishnandu> Hi
[20:33] <soreau> ph33r: YOu could just run compiz --replace & emerald --replace
[20:33] <ph33r> soreau: ok will do it now
[20:33] <blue_anna> how do I get Xcompose working with ibus? there are unanswered posts on ubuntuforums about it, but no solutions
[20:33] <lobozoo> can anyone tell me where to find  ".gconf/apps/rhythmbox"
[20:33] <Krishnandu> Hi
[20:34] <ph33r> soreau: same problem after replacing
[20:34] <madjoe> can I create a symlink to a folder?
[20:34] <Imperion> is there a more efficient MP3 decoder?
[20:34] <acerimmer> Krishnandu: hello
[20:34] <ScatterBrain> Is there a way to force mounted file system icons to show up along the right side of the desktop instead of the left?  (ie mimic the mac)
[20:34] <Imperion> MAD takes 15-20% CPU here
[20:34] <soreau> ph33r: Also you can try running emerald-theme-manager in your terminal then crash it to see if there's any interesting output
[20:34] <blue_anna> madjoe: I'm feeling generous today, and gunbert too I think :) sure, go ahead
[20:35] <Sam_Fisher> crdlb, but right click still just says Move to > Home Folder > Desktop I want to add Picture folders etc
[20:35] <lobozoo> Imperion: try XCFA
[20:35] <Krishnandu> acerimmer, using irc 4m mob..!!
[20:35] <madjoe> blue_anna: thanks, I feel so grateful now... :) how?
[20:35] <ph33r> soreau: already did that, http://pastebin.com/D5X8Vizy
[20:35] <acerimmer> Krishnandu: ok.  and?
[20:35] <soreau> ph33r: If you use metacity --replace, does it still happen?
[20:35] <blue_anna> madjoe: ln -s from to :)
[20:35] <madjoe> blue_anna: oh, it's the same syntax as it's for a file?
[20:35] <soreau> ph33r: Ah, I think I know why it's crashing
[20:36] <djzn> hello... I am having a strange issue... when I first turn on my computer every day... for the past couple of days, ubuntu "turns off" the computer, just before entering GDM.... how do I trace this log?
[20:36] <crdlb> Sam_Fisher: well, you can't edit that submenu as far as I know, but nautilus-actions lets you add your own entries that run arbitrary commands
[20:36] <ph33r> soreau: yeah it still happen with metacity too
[20:36] <acerimmer> lobozoo: /home - it's hidden by default so you'll have to enable view hidden files
[20:36] <blue_anna> madjoe: yea
[20:36] <madjoe> blue_anna: if I delete a symlink, my original folder will remain untouched, right?
[20:36] <soreau> ph33r: It's probably a bug introduce with latest gtk
[20:36] <lobozoo> can you tell me how?
[20:36] <blue_anna> madjoe: yup
[20:36] <Imperion> lobozoo: I want to *listen* to music more efficiently
[20:36] <blue_anna> madjoe: the only real difference is taht the symlink behaves like a file for some commands
[20:37] <ph33r> soreau: yep
[20:37] <nagydann> What do you know about Xubuntu and Compiz? Especially about their stability ? Are they reliable to use together?
[20:37] <madjoe> blue_anna: thank you, I'll be your slave
[20:37] <Sam_Fisher> crdlb, So I would just open a folder and then access the extra commands?
[20:37] <ph33r> soreau: nice, now I can't even do emerald --replace
[20:37] <blue_anna> madjoe: so like rm mysym will work, but error out for the actualy directory because rm wants the -r flag to remove a directory
[20:37] <blue_anna> lol
[20:37] <acerimmer> lobozoo: Places>Home>View>Show Hidden Files
[20:37] <lobozoo> Imperion: songbird ?
[20:38] <lobozoo> acerimmer: thanx dude
[20:38] <soreau> ph33r: the only thing I can say is to build emerald 0.8.4 from releases.compiz.org and see if it compiles cleanly. If not I can help you more in #compiz
[20:38] <madjoe> blue_anna: ok, let me try it the way you described... I was playing with -t but no luck, of course
[20:38] <ph33r> soreau: coming
[20:38] <blue_anna> how do I get compose keys to work the same in qt, x apps like xterm, and gtk apps ?
[20:38] <acerimmer> nagydann: xubuntu is intended for lower power/spec boxes.  Compiz puts a lot of demand on the system and is intended for boxes with higher specs, especially the gpu
[20:38] <Imperion> lobozoo: decoder.
[20:38] <k-rad> acerimmer, the laserjet 6p works ?
[20:38] <lei3> why does grub think hd0,1 is an ext2 filesystem when it's clearly ext3 for ubuntu?
[20:39] <acerimmer> k-rad: it does
[20:39] <k-rad> thank you
[20:39] <Imperion> lobozoo: i.e. the library which converts MP3 encoded data into PCM in realtime
[20:39] <void^> lei3: ext3 is just ext2 with some extras
[20:39] <x3464> anyone know how to fix a random kernel panic that doesn't show up in the logs?  :)
[20:40] <NightlyUser> acerimmer: glad to see a fellow reddwarf fan
[20:40] <lobozoo> Imperion: sorry way out of my leage
[20:40] <madjoe> blue_anna: yes it works... I can delete my symlink as a file, without -rf flags
[20:40] <acerimmer> NightlyUser: smeggin' right!
[20:41] <madjoe> blue_anna: thanks again.. can I buy you a drink?
[20:41] <ross_> madjoe: you can buy me a drink too
[20:41] <acerimmer> madjoe: yes, i'll have a bacardi on the rocks.
[20:41] <halvors> hehe jeg søvner snart
[20:41] <crdlb> Sam_Fisher: you can add commands with nautilus-actions-config-tool
[20:42] <mikeshultz> crdlb: There is no cupsFilter lines in the ppd.
[20:42] <madjoe> ross_: guys, guys... I'm not a millionaire..
[20:42] <blue_anna> madjoe: ross_ lol :) sure please
[20:44] <lobozoo> acerimmer: have you used ubuntu one music store yet?
[20:44] <madjoe> blue_anna: ok, meet me in the bar in 10... I'll bring my laptop with an Ubuntu sticker so you can recognize me... I'll be the fattest
[20:44] <acerimmer> lobozoo: no.  did get a couple off amazon - no problems
[20:45] <Dexxra> Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 and was wondering if there is anyway to get the old login screen where it did not show which user(s) you can log in as? I have searched around for awhile, but most of the google results are simply about modding the login screen to look different (background, theme, etc), but not about getting rid of the actual user list and back to where you have to type a username in.
[20:45] <Adamantus10> I've used Apache on Windows but never on Linux. Where is an appropriate place to put my directory of websites?
[20:45] <raffairon> can you please help me? on the ##cups channel and #hpux no one ansawer ....
[20:45] <raffairon> *answer
[20:46] <michelle_> does hwinfo tell me what kind of wifi i have
[20:46] <acerimmer> Dexxra: install ubuntu tweak - then change the login options
[20:46] <crdlb> mikeshultz: I'm not an expert on cups, but I see "Filter application/vnd.cups-pdf 0 foomatic-rip" in my /etc/cups/printers.conf, but I guess you probably don't have that if you copied the configuration from an older version
[20:46] <cpbca> hello
[20:47] <acerimmer> cpbca: greetings

[20:48] <ScatterBrain> Is UbuntuOne down today?
[20:48] <Dexxra> acerimmer: I just looked over the Ubuntu Tweak official page (Briefly, obviously) and it looks like that is simply for modding the background and what have you. I didn
[20:48] <blue_anna> ubuntuone has never worked for me
[20:48] <cpbca> Anyone from commonwealth nations enjoying victoria day?
[20:48] <lobozoo> ScatterBrain: i think so im trying to use it no luck

[20:48] <Dexxra> acerimmer: I didn't see any options on the screenshots/text to change the login method(s). I will give it a shot though and post my results.
[20:48] <Adamantus10> As in where should I put my cgi-bin?
[20:48] <acerimmer> Dexxra: it's there.  i'll post the exact command sequence...
[20:49] <ScatterBrain> lobozoo: Good - I've not borked my machine then.  ;-)

[20:56] <ikonia> tweepcat: a.) have you used the driver manager in ubuntu ? b.) ubuntu/linux doesn't use "inf" files
[20:57] <meanburrito920> But I can't recall what it is called
[20:57] <blue_anna> tdn: sorry, dont kow

[20:57] <tdn> blue_anna, fbi?
[20:57] <tweepcat> how do i install this then: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
[20:58] <tweepcat> in the readme it says it should already be installed
[20:58] <blue_anna> tdn: I just imagine they snoop a lot of unprotected networtks too :P sorry man, I dont know
[20:58] <tweepcat> but it isnt
[20:58] <ikonia> tweepcat: have you used the driver manager in ubuntu yet ?
[20:58] <tweepcat> yes

[21:00] <NightlyUser> jibadeeha-: vlc works wonders for me
[21:00] <ckwalsh> jibadeeha-, vlc is pretty darn stable; one of the first things I install after a reinstall
[21:00] <piklu> i mean can i use the control server also as nodes.........
[21:00] <AliXer> !vlc | jibadeeha
[21:00] <ikonia> tweepcat: the b43 driver is already in the kernel

[21:01] <Hydester> how do i find the current wireless driver i'm using?  i want to deactivate it to use ath_pci instead
[21:01] <ikonia> tweepcat: that's a package manager, and as you don't need to install a package that would not find anything
[21:01] <ikonia> !network | tweepcat
[21:01] <guntbert> tweepcat: did you read the README.txt on this web site?
[21:02] <tweepcat> yes

[21:02] <piklu> anybody help me
[21:02] <redsherpa> It freezes when I try to finish installing it.  It also freezes when I try to remove it.
[21:02] <guntbert> tweepcat: and did you ask<EMAIL_ADDRESS>?
[21:03] <tweepcat> what?
[21:03] <AliXer> !ask | piklu
[21:03] <tweepcat> whats that?
[21:03] <guntbert> tweepcat: from the web site
[21:04] <cpbca> ciao #ubuntu!
[21:04] <tweepcat> no, i didnt ask them
[21:04] <piklu> [ Question : : : : : I want to install http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/private to make a commericial cloud, I am not sure about licensing restrictions, also I have one server right now on which I am trying to install, is it able to be installed on same machine ??

[21:07] <webPragmatist> has anyone here setup an HA cluster using pacemaker
[21:07] <ni1s_eee> ckwalsh, iirc theres a article on the ubuntu wiki on how to go about doing that

[21:08] <webPragmatist> ikonia: well i'm having an issue with following the testing deal here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ClusterStack/LucidTesting#Overview
[21:08] <pdtpatrick> Anyone know what this ondemand service is on ubuntu? Is it something to do with scaling for the CPU?
[21:08] <webPragmatist> let me paste the crm_mon results

[21:09] <nmvictor> I have ditched firefox for opera in my iBook, powerpc ubuntu after firefox used to shoot up my CPU usage to 100%, now things are smooth with opera except for youtube videos. I dont know the workaround in opera powerpc concerning videos now that their are no powerpc versions of adobe flash player, any suggestions?
[21:09] <webPragmatist> ikonia: my question is… what's the failed service deal… and secondly… how do i know if its working because killing a server doesn't bring apache back
[21:09] <webPragmatist> on cluster1
[21:10] <ikonia> webPragmatist: the failed service should show it's name on screen
[21:10] <NightlyUser> nmvictor: tried gnash?
[21:10] <ikonia> webPragmatist: it's not working if the process doesn't start on node2 when node1 fails
[21:10] <Adamantus10> There is no text location bar in my interface, how do I turn it on?
[21:10] <blaha> I'm setting up a very powerful wifi ham radio installation using an external usb wifi card… can I also maintain an internet connection using a second wifi card?

[21:11] <webPragmatist> ikonia: what's the not installed crap about apache though
[21:11] <gopper> Hi, is there a way to change that awful purple background color while loading ubuntu and change it to something like.. black?
[21:11] <guntbert> root___: don't work as root!
[21:11] <ikonia> webPragmatist: it's the monitor for the apache service, so it doesn't know it's not running
[21:12] <webPragmatist> ikonia: do i have to install it? all i have done is install pacemaker
[21:12] <webPragmatist> as like a module maybe?
[21:12] <Adamantus10> ikonia, Can you get Apache monitor for ubuntu?
[21:12] <guntbert> root___:  Do you have an ubuntu support question?
[21:13] <blaha> anybody ever use two wifi cards at once for something?
[21:13] <nmvictor> NightlyUser: Its installed, I was using it with firefox, I dont know why opera is not using it, its requesting flash player
[21:13] <ikonia> webPragmatist: crm configure should set up the monitor scripts looking at the documentation your showing me
[21:13] <AliXer> ckwalsh : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemHowto
[21:13] <Drknzz> Hi guys!
[21:14] <webPragmatist> ikonia: right
[21:14] <NightlyUser> nmvictor: opera is closed source, have you tried chromium?
[21:14] <webPragmatist> ikonia:  I have configured those with sudo crm configure edit
[21:14] <ckwalsh> AliXer, Yes, I found that, but it covers a new install
[21:14] <ckwalsh> I already have an install I would prefer not to lose
[21:14] <ikonia> webPragmatist: I would suggest they are wrong
[21:15] <ikonia> webPragmatist: or apache isn't installed on both machines
[21:15] <webPragmatist> ikonia: http://pastie.textmate.org/private/g9bileyip4rvpmrvwxav3g << NOTE that for some reason it keeps changing the votes to 2
[21:15] <webPragmatist> ikonia: or i need something more than just apt-get install apache2
[21:15] <webPragmatist> like some other monito
[21:15] <AliXer> ckwalsh : Repeat the Question (Its gone high up in clouds)
[21:15] <alfredo> does the S/PDIF in the alsamixer affect the audio of the compuiter? i cant turn on mine and i have no audio, is a sony vaio with ubuntu 10.04
[21:15] <redsherpa> I am still unable to remove mysql, nor in any other way get it in a working state.
[21:15] <ckwalsh> I have a 10.04 install that does not use full disk encryption; is it possible to encrypt the drive without wiping it to a clean slate?
[21:15] <nmvictor> NightlyUser:  thie is a powerpc version of chromium?
[21:15] <webPragmatist> ikonia: i'm pretty sure the config is right… although I had to change it from "apache2" to "apache"
[21:16] <ikonia> webPragmatist: hmmm that would suggest a split brain possible
[21:16] <ikonia> webPragmatist: use the example configs
[21:16] <NightlyUser> nmvictor: not sure, you can check synaptic
[21:16] <webPragmatist> ikonia: i did….. they are cut and pasted from that testing site
[21:16] <webPragmatist> ikonia: i just deleted the ftp thing...
[21:16] <ckwalsh> ugh, I have to go
[21:16] <ckwalsh> AliXer, I'll have to ask later, thank you
[21:16] <ikonia> webPragmatist: doesn't sound like it if you're using apache2 as a heartbeat instead of apache
[21:17] <gopper> Is there a way to change that purple background color on the loading screen and change it to something like black? I'm talking about 10.04.

[21:24] <AreioWolf> Quick question:  Does anyone know what the Desktop Couch service is supposed to do?  I read up on it having something to do with Ubuntu One or other file-syncing tasks, but I don't really use any, and don't need it to run.

[21:28] <kr3w> is there an alternative to empathy that doesn't suck?
[21:28] <kr3w> sorry for wording it like that
[21:28] <kr3w> but
[21:28] <kr3w> really
[21:29] <ZenMasta> anyone ever restored an image using dd? I can't seem to get mine to work
[21:29] <weegee101> @kr3w Try Pidgin
[21:29] <whodat> drknzz ,try earcandy

[21:29] <guntbert> !enter | kr3w
[21:29] <NightlyUser> nmvictor: it's available in the package manager: synaptic
[21:29] <Drknzz> whodat: Ok, TY
[21:29] <lobozoo> Step 3: Now, as a one-off, you should tell your system to pull down the latest list of software from each archive it knows about, including the PPA you just added:
[21:29] <lobozoo> sudo apt-get update
[21:29] <lobozoo> Now you're ready to start installing software from the PPA!
[21:29] <sr_rules__> !pidgin | kr3w
[21:29] <weegee101> Pidgin was the old IM client and I think most people I've spoken to like it better than empathy
[21:29] <lobozoo> how do i do that part?
[21:29] <kr3w> !emesene
[21:30] <ikonia> lobozoo: open the package manager, the same as any other software and browse/search the repos
[21:30] <ikonia> lobozoo: be aware that software is not supported and may break your system
[21:30] <kr3w> hmm pidgin won't be a bad idea, does it integrate with GNOME like empathy does in 10.04?

[21:42] <ikonia> dipu_: probably, both. eg: 400 meg is being used for the system, however 1.6 gig of ram is being used in total for things like file system cache
[21:42] <NightlyUser> arooni: /boot/grub/grub.conf /etc/fstab
[21:42] <edoceo> So /dev/shm is not in my /etc/fstab file - who is responbiel for mounting that? How can I change the mount options? (I want to add noexec)
[21:43] <AliXer> kk_hacker : http://www.ubuntugeek.com/creating-an-adhoc-host-with-ubuntu.html
[21:43] <ikonia> edoceo: you don't mount shared memory
[21:43] <arooni> NightlyUser, ok made a backup
[21:43] <hmw> My Gnome just lost it's ability of taking input from mouse and keyboard. I can log in from outside, no load (the system monitor applet is still updating) - i tried DISPLAY=:0.0 metacity --replace &  which worked, but it didnt restore input. What can I try to restart, I really don't want to kill the open windows now. (I was creating a web page)
[21:43] <dupondje> I switched to the nvidia driver, and now my pc lags when I scroll fastly, any idea whats causing that ? Seems like Xorg is going to 100% cpu
[21:43] <bmunger> hi, is there a way for me to take the current dvd image and incorporate all current updated packages into it?
[21:43] <dipu_> ikonia .. which command can i use to see memory used by system ??
[21:43] <arooni> NightlyUser, dont have enough space on root  how do i get rid of big packages that i'm not sure i'wehther i'm using them or not?
[21:44] <ikonia> dipu_: you just did - "free"
[21:44] <NightlyUser> arooni: it'll probably ask you what you want to do with the bootloader during upgrade, so just follow the instructions
[21:44] <arooni> NightlyUser, i.e. how do i know what the big pcakges aget
[21:44] <arooni> big packages are
[21:45] <dipu_> ikonia .. but it shows diff from system monitor .. which command to see output same as system monitor
[21:45] <NightlyUser> arooni: not sure sorry
[21:45] <snikker> hi with 10.04 i'm unable to see divx?
[21:45] <snikker> they work fine in 9.10
[21:45] <ikonia> dipu_: I have no idea, look at the system monitor output, it's probably the output of ps aux added together, or something like that
[21:45] <dipu_> ikonia .. apologize if i am bugging ..but its quite confusing for a newbie
[21:45] <QuiltPants> hi all, i'm getting extremely frustrated with thunderbird. I keep getting folders showing up in one of my mail accounts that i just cannot for the life of me delete. Please can someone help? I would be so stoked if someone could solve this for me :D
[21:45] <NightlyUser> snikker: you most likely need to install codecs
[21:46] <ikonia> dipu_: trust the system monitor for a generic overview of your system, if you're new you don't need to worry about disk cache
[21:46] <oxidizer> hi
[21:46] <snikker> NightlyUser: I think that they are installed
[21:46] <Super-Man> hi
[21:46] <oxidizer> any one can help me to install hydra
[21:46] <dipu_> ikonia ..thanks
[21:46] <NightlyUser> snikker: i've always found vlc to be the best to use
[21:47] <Sonsee> hi all, I did upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 via manager. Now after the login prompt it says cannot start ksmserver, there is an ok buttom if I press it the system logs me out. Suggestions?
[21:47] <snikker> NightlyUser: i use vlc
[21:47] <bluag> hello, what is the command to remove anitem with all its old configuration files? i want to reinstall something
[21:48] <adamror> Howdy folks
[21:48] <sr_rules__> bluag : sudo apt-get purge item_name
[21:48] <whodat> depends how you installed it
[21:48] <edoceo> ikonia: but on all these ubunut machines I see this in `mount` output: "devshm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)"
[21:49] <edoceo> I want that to to (rw,nosuid,noexec)
[21:49] <adamror> How do you go about editing the top bar preferences ?
[21:50] <ikonia> edoceo: yes, ram is auto mounted as tmpfs
[21:50] <edoceo> ok, but how to change the options of devshm to have noexec?
[21:50] <xloosescrewx> hello, I need to open a port using Ubuntu's firewall, I dont understant the instructions
[21:50] <OttifantSir> I have a shell-script that lets me do ffmpeg2theora for an entire folder. Problem is, it just accepts folders as input and the quality controls are "set in stone". Anyone care to take a look at it and tell me if it's possible to extend this script to accept * /all files in current folder and something like "2ogg 5 5 (folder)"? http://paste.ubuntu.com/439044/
[21:50] <bluag> sr_rules__ thank you
[21:51] <ikonia> xloosescrewx: all ports are open by default
[21:51] <bluag> also, with a new install, i got 1GB ram is used, is it weird ? or normal ?
[21:51] <bmunger> hi, is there a way for me to take the current dvd image and incorporate all current updated packages into it?
[21:51] <ikonia> bmunger: normal
[21:51] <ikonia> bmunger: you'd need to do a respid
[21:51] <ikonia> respin
[21:51] <xloosescrewx> I am using the Transmission bittorrent program and the port that i am trying to use is closed
[21:52] <bmunger> ok respin is what its called
[21:52] <bmunger> thanks
[21:52] <bluag> xloosescrewx
[21:52] <bluag> i am trying to remove rtorrent and install it again
[21:52] <bluag> but even i remove it
[21:52] <bluag> i can find it in /usr/local/bin/rtorrent
[21:52] <sidney> Is there a way to install a small footprint  ubuntu other than the minimal install disk
[21:52] <bluag> when i do "whereis rtorrent"
[21:52] <ikonia> bmunger: how did you install it
[21:52] <Sonsee> hi all, I did upgrade from 9.10 to 10.04 via manager. Now after the login prompt it says cannot start ksmserver, there is an ok buttom if I press it the system logs me out. Suggestions?
[21:52] <Sonsee> *on how to repair?
[21:52] <Sonsee> please
[21:52] <Sonsee> )
[21:52] <bluag> i did both way, from repository and by hand i guess
[21:53] <ikonia> bluag: define by hand
[21:53] <bluag> i mean
[21:53] <bluag> apt-get install rtorrent
[21:53] <mizipzor> what is the proper way to work with source installations? say if i want to compile and install python from source (that way i assume its not tracked in the package manager?) and then install another package, through the package manager, that depends on python. Will all sorts of fun conflicts and stuff happen? whats the proper way to handle this?
[21:53] <bluag> and i did wget and compiled myself too
[21:53] <ikonia> bluag: ok - so that's why it's messed up
[21:53] <oxidizer> hey how to install hydra in ubuntu 10.04
[21:53] <bluag> yes
[21:53] <bluag> how i can remove it
[21:53] <ikonia> bluag: those to are going to conflict with each other, I have no idea why you compiled it
[21:53] <edoceo> So /dev/shm gets automouted and I cannot change the options?
[21:53] <bluag>  ~: whereis rtorrent
[21:53] <bluag> rtorrent: /usr/local/bin/rtorrent
[21:53] <ikonia> bluag: you'll have to manually remove it by hand
[21:53] <bluag> how i can do that
[21:53] <xloosescrewx> hello
[21:54] <ikonia> edoceo: why do you want to ?
[21:54] <oxidizer> hi
[21:54] <oxidizer> hey how to install hydra in ubuntu 10.04
[21:54] <ikonia> bluag: open termainal, search for every file that "make install" put on your system and manually remove them
[21:54] <Sonsee> no one?:/
[21:54] <edoceo> That's I how Iike my tmpfs to be mounted, rw,nosuid,noexec
[21:54] <Super-Man> !hydra | Super-Man
[21:54] <bluag> i am on ssh
[21:54] <xloosescrewx> I need help with transmission bit torrent program i cant open a port
[21:54] <hmw> My Gnome just lost it's ability of taking input from mouse and keyboard. I can log in from outside, no load (the system monitor applet is still updating) - i tried DISPLAY=:0.0 metacity --replace &  which worked, but it didnt restore input. I connected successfully with x11vnc, but it takes no input. What can I try to restart, I really don't want to kill the open windows now.
[21:54] <ikonia> bluag: so ?
[21:54] <bluag> how i can search make install
[21:54] <bluag> :)
[21:54] <edoceo> This keeps it secure, as some apps have vuln that can be used to write to tmp mounted and exec (if exec is allowed)
[21:55] <ikonia> bluag: when you compiled it - you typed "make install" to install it, you need to find every file that installed and remove it
[21:55] <whodat> can try going into build folder and run make uninstall
[21:55] <oxidizer> can any one help me
[21:55] <oxidizer> hey how to install hydra in ubuntu 10.04
[21:55] <Gun_Smoke> What happened to the menu on the login screen that allowed one to pick between say gnome or fluxbox etc?
[21:55] <OttifantSir> I have a shell-script that lets me do ffmpeg2theora for an entire folder. Problem is, it just accepts folders as input and the quality controls are "set in stone". Anyone care to take a look at it and tell me if it's possible to extend this script to accept * /all files in current folder and something like "2ogg 5 5 (folder)"? http://paste.ubuntu.com/439044/
[21:55] <ikonia> whodat: I don't think rtorrent has an uninstall target in the makeile
[21:55] <Super-Man> oxidizer : what is hydra ?
[21:56] <Gun_Smoke> I can't think of a single reason to build rtorrent.
[21:56] <oxidizer> it is ssh access software
[21:56] <xloosescrewx> can i please get some help?
[21:56] <guntbert> Gun_Smoke: after selecting a login name you should see that option at the bottom
[21:56] <edoceo> xloosescrewx: look at your firewall documentation, and learn patience
[21:56] <whodat> does checkinstall still work for 10.4?
[21:57] <oxidizer> no dear
[21:57] <oxidizer> its not
[21:57] <Gun_Smoke> guntbert, Humm.. might have missed it. I like the way things used to be.
[21:57] <oxidizer> Building Debian package... FAILED!
[21:57] <Gun_Smoke> xloosescrewx, it's your router most likely.
[21:58] <Gun_Smoke> xloosescrewx, nothing to do with linux/ubuntu/transmission
[21:58] <xloosescrewx> I have looked at my firewall documentation, and the port is opened properly on my firewall, but with transmission it says it is closed.  my router has the port opened
[21:58] <Pyker> oxidizer, isn't hydra a bruteforcer? O.o
[21:58] <oxidizer> yaa
[21:58] <hmw> too late, switching to the console and back to tty7 somehow killed x. *sigh* now i got many temp files to find and delete. Why do you guys keep telling me, GNome was stable?
[21:58] <Gun_Smoke> xloosescrewx, might be 'open' but not pointed at your machine.. keep reading.
[21:58] <whodat> ikonia does checkinstall still work for 10.04?
[21:59] <xloosescrewx> what is "pointed at my machine" mean?
[21:59] <guntbert> hmw: alt+F7 ?
[21:59] <ikonia> whodat: depends on the package
[21:59] <Super-Man> oxidizer : Look if its related : http://wiredbytes.com/node/7
[21:59] <whodat> ikonia what is the best tool to build a deb then?
[21:59] <hmw> guntbert: The GUI stopped taking input suddenly (i was editing a text in a simple <textarea>) - I tried to revive the input peripherals without luck... I had several windows open :(
[22:00] <ikonia> whodat: follow the build process and understand what you are doing
[22:00] <whodat> lol yea rite
[22:00] <oxidizer> ok i will try thank you
[22:00] <RedXIII> How do I find out the path of the drive I'm looking at?
[22:00] <ikonia> RedXIII: pwd
[22:01] <RedXIII> ex: I have a folder /media/fdsafdsa, I want to find out what /dev/sdb it is
[22:01] <ikonia> RedXIII: mount
[22:01] <TheMusicGuy> Ok. Let's say I'm on a public, unencrypted wireless network (a coffeeshop hotspot) and I'm paranoid about other people sniffing my packets. What tools can I use to monitor nearby traffic for other people who are doing the same thing?
[22:01] <RedXIII> mount doesn't show it :(
[22:01] <TingoL> Is it possible to play html5 videos in chromium?
[22:01] <bellis> I just installed Ubuntu on top of an existing Windows XP install, and immediately after rebooting I am given "error: no such device: <uuid>" and then a
[22:01] <bellis> "grub rescue" prompt
[22:01] <xloosescrewx> i can use another torrent program on windows with no problems port it opened and all works, instructions easy to understand and such, with ubuntu i dont understand the instructions
[22:01] <Gun_Smoke> xloosescrewx, you've some reading to do bud.. start with some networking basics, routing etc.. all free documentation.
[22:01] <guntbert> hmw: really no idea -- sorry  -- btw what is a <textarea>?
[22:01] <hmw> guntbert: a html tag
[22:01] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: you can't, they would have to go through your network card to use a tool like wireshark
[22:01] <bellis> I cannot boot from CD.  How can I fix grub?
[22:01] <sidney> when installing the minimal ubuntu is only the base system on the disk and the rest comes ovver the net
[22:01] <RedXIII> oh.. nevermind I found it >_< I'm a doofball
[22:02] <badcloud> is there a short way to use different servers than in /etc/apt/sources.list? they seem to be down, at least port 80
[22:02] <Super-Man> !grub | bellis
[22:02] <ikonia> badcloud: what server
[22:02] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: hm...ok, so what can I do to just monitor traffic around me in general?
[22:02] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: buy network monitoring kit
[22:02] <mkhanyisi> RedXIII, how about typing 'df | grep -i fdsafdsa' ?
[22:03] <guntbert> hmw: aah - I thought it related to your problem :-)
[22:03] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: but you just said something about wireshark. Can't I use that?
[22:03] <RedXIII> mkhanyisi sudo mount was working
[22:03] <RedXIII> I just wasn't looking in the right place
[22:03] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: no, as traffic would have to go through your network card, not float around in the air around you
[22:03] <bellis> ubottu: Yeah, I installed Ubuntu 10.04.  I'll check this out.  Please remember that I can't boot from CD though, so if it suggests that, I'll be stuck.
[22:04] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: but network traffic DOES travel in the air around me if I'm connected to an unencrypted wifi network.
[22:04] <gdiz> hey does anyone know where I can get some information on samba create and force create masks
[22:04] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: yes, but you are not connected to the air - you're connected to an access point
[22:04] <hmw> guntbert: i am having issues with Ubuntu all the time, since 2 years on 10 different hardware configurations. People here and in other channels keep telling me, I would do something wrong, or tweak my OS heavily, which is simply not true. Well... no use to whine, thanks for your time.
[22:04] <gdiz> I am mixed up and having a little trouble setting it up
[22:04] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: yes, the same one as everyone else
[22:04] <Pyker> bellis: ubottu is the ubuntu IRC bot, it won't answer your questions... lol
[22:04] <mkhanyisi> Redache, and then?
[22:05] <mkhanyisi> RedXIII, and then?
[22:05] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: but not the air
[22:05] <mkhanyisi> Redache, sorry
[22:05] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: you'd need a tool that monitors the air
[22:05] <bellis> Pyker: I had no idea.
[22:05] <Pyker> bellis: it happens :P
[22:05] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: I know. that's what I'm talking about.
[22:05] <RedXIII> it works fine
[22:05] <RedXIII> just wasn't looking right
[22:05] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: so buy network monitoring kit
[22:05] <bellis> Well, I guess I am still stuck then.
[22:05] <whodat> sounds like he wants to set his nic to promiscuous mode
[22:05] <mkhanyisi> RedXIII, ok then
[22:06] <whodat> need patchs  for that most likely
[22:06] <ikonia> whodat: that will only pickup traffic going through his nic
[22:06] <whodat> right
[22:06] <mkhanyisi> gdiz, i think at /etc/samba/smb.conf
[22:06] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: is that special hardware? Isn't there a free (opensource) software for using an ordinary NIC?
[22:06] <undecim> TheMusicGuy: I think the aircrack suite is what you're looking for.
[22:07] <Super-Man> gdiz : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[22:07] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: I suggest you get over your paraoia
[22:07] <undecim> TheMusicGuy: It only works with cards that support certain features though.
[22:07] <TheMusicGuy> undecim: I thought that was just for cracking into encrypted networks, net for monitoring ones you're already connected to
[22:07] <actionparsnip> yo oy yo
[22:07] <TheMusicGuy> s/net/not
[22:07] <Gun_Smoke> TheMusicGuy, I'm a little late to this but, you want to sniff the traffic around you?
[22:08] <aganice_>  /set irc_conf_mode on
[22:08] <webPragmatist> can i shrink my partition and add another?
[22:08] <undecim> TheMusicGuy: There is airsnort (I think that's the one) that's part of the suite that monitors WiFi traffic like wireshark does for ethernet
[22:08] <aganice_> whoops, sorry about that
[22:08] <Gun_Smoke> aganice_, 1
[22:08] <webPragmatist> rather how can i
[22:08] <undecim> TheMusicGuy: Being able to capture traffic is a necessary part of some WiFi attacks
[22:08] <TheMusicGuy> Gun_Smoke: well, basically. But I'm doing it just so that I can see what potential hackers would be.
[22:08] <TheMusicGuy> er, see.
[22:09] <TheMusicGuy> well be, too, I guess.
[22:09] <mkhanyisi> webPragmatist, try using GParted
[22:09] <benlieb> anyone know how to convert a string to unicode from command line?
[22:09] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: I'd get over that paranioa, people are not out there sniffing packets all day
[22:10] <webPragmatist> mkhanyisi: cli
[22:10] <Gun_Smoke> TheMusicGuy, I understand.. I could careless what you do with the information, but capturing it is pretty easy. You need a wireless card that supports running in promiscuous mode
[22:10] <Gun_Smoke> TheMusicGuy, and lots of software will grab what you're after... kismet, wireshark etc..
[22:10] <mkhanyisi> webPragmatist, i don't recommend that but take a look at these utilities: parted, cfdisk and fdisk
[22:10] <Super-Man> TheMusicGuy : But actually some usually sniff around these days.
[22:11] <harrumph> I'm trying to get a Canon CanoScan 4400 to work with lucid lynx...found the model on this hardware blacklist...any ideas?  http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Hardware_blacklist
[22:11] <webPragmatist> mkhanyisi: don't really have a choice?
[22:11] <gdiz> mkhanyisi and Super-Man, thank you, the thing I'm having trouble with is what is associated with what for the code.  For instance, 0775, does the 0 refer to things like UID or is that the 5
[22:11] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: I have the responsibility to know how to do anything the "bad guys" can do. It's part of my job as the family IT guy.
[22:11] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: I don't believe you
[22:11] <gdiz> and it is the opposite of what it will create (i.e. put 4 to get a 3)
[22:11] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: um...ok...
[22:12] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: I believe you want to sniff other peoples packets for your own good and you're trying to find out how to do it
[22:12] <Gun_Smoke> TheMusicGuy, we were at a hockey game about a month ago and my friend ran kismet on his Nokia N900 the entire game vacuuming up all traffic. We took that home and broke the information down with wireshark.
[22:12] <whodat> I dont believe it either
[22:12] <RedXIII> I'm trying to run dd on a drive to make a .img onto another drive. I ran "dd if=(ntfs) of=(ntfs.img)"
[22:12] <RedXIII> gave me permission denied
[22:12] <RedXIII> so I ran it as sudo
[22:12] <Gun_Smoke> ikonia, who cares what he does with it? what business is it of ours?
[22:12] <RedXIII> now it seems to be hanging
[22:12] <ikonia> RedXIII: ntfs is not a device
[22:12] <ikonia> Gun_Smoke: we dont support that kind of activity in this channel
[22:12] <RedXIII> Well I mean "devicenamehere"
[22:12] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: If I intended to steal and abuse other people'
[22:13] <ikonia> RedXIII: ok - so it's running then
[22:13] <Ty> i need help!!
[22:13] <oxidizer> hi iam back
[22:13] <Ty> please someone i need help
[22:13] <RedXIII> there's no console output?
[22:13] <iceroot> !ask | Ty
[22:13] <RedXIII> also I see no drive activity
[22:13] <ikonia> RedXIII: no, it will return to a prompt when it's done
[22:13] <oxidizer> what ty?
[22:13] <ikonia> RedXIII: you may want to look at the "BS" parameter
[22:13] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: If I intended to steal and abuse other people's data I wouldn't be asking about it on a public chat over an unecrypted public network.
[22:13] <mneptok> TheMusicGuy: the intention is inconsequential. this channel does not allow discussions of illegal activities. full stop.
[22:13] <mkhanyisi> gdiz, 0775 is equivalent to -rwxrwxr-x for files, the first zero is the default, if its not zero, some other attributes are set (like sticky bit, etc)
[22:13] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: of course you would
[22:14] <Ty> oxidizer: im running ubuntu 9.04 and want to update to ubuntu 10.04
[22:14] <TheMusicGuy> mneptok: That's exactly my point. I'm NOT asking how to do something illegal.
[22:14] <webPragmatist> mkhanyisi: can you only resize logical volumes?
[22:14] <Gun_Smoke> ikonia, I don't even know what you are trying to imply. But if someone wants to know how to access traffic in or around their network they are MORE than entitled to the information to accomplish that task.
[22:14] <Ty> could someone help me please?
[22:14] <mkhanyisi> webPragmatist, Yes, I Can!
[22:14] <Ty> kk
[22:14] <RedXIII> ikonia: Should I specify blocksize then?
[22:14] <Pyker> Ty: Press Ctrl + Alt + T, and type "sudo do-release-upgrade". Then follow the instructions.
[22:15] <RedXIII> I would still expect drive activity.
[22:15] <oxidizer> Ty : you should upgrade to 9.10
[22:15] <Ty> im running ubuntu 9.04 and want to update to 10.04
[22:15] <ikonia> RedXIII: it can speed it up, but careful not to flood the buffer
[22:15] <Gun_Smoke> Ty, sure, set the oven to 425 and bake it for 25 minutes.
[22:15] <ikonia> !upgrade | Ty
[22:15] <Ty> arg!!
[22:15] <webPragmatist> mkhanyisi: well my question is, i have http://pastie.textmate.org/private/bkiiciypnqhzdwteldifia … should i resize the logical or extended?
[22:15] <Ty> wait!
[22:15] <RedXIII> is it normal not to see any drive activity light up?
[22:15] <Pyker> ikonia: where are the bot commands?
[22:15] <ikonia> !ubottu > Pyker
[22:15] <Ty> i want to know how to partition
[22:15] <Pyker> Ok
[22:15] <MangueBoy> haha
[22:15] <mneptok> TheMusicGuy: breaking encryption to access a network without authorization is illegal.
[22:15] <soupdragon> !partition | Ty
[22:15] <whodat> redxiii read the man page for dd
[22:16] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: your machine is already partitioned i you are doing an upgrade
[22:16] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: sorry - that wasn't fo ryou
[22:16] <RedXIII> oh.. seems to be working..
[22:16] <RedXIII> a .img was created
[22:16] <ikonia> Ty: if you are upgrading, you are already partitioned
[22:16] <oxidizer> are you using dual boot
[22:16] <TheMusicGuy> mneptok: but I'm not asking how to break into an encrypted network.
[22:16] <NightlyUser> !ubottu > auronandace
[22:16] <Ty> ikonia: i want to keep all my stuff i have
[22:16] <gdiz> mkhanyisi, thank you very much
[22:16] <ikonia> Ty: yes, so you don't need to re-partition then
[22:16] <NightlyUser> !ubottu > NightlyUser
[22:16] <Ty> ikonia: with out losing any of it
[22:16] <TheMusicGuy> mneptok: I'm asking how to see what others see what they are sniffing my traffic.
[22:17] <ikonia> Ty: yes, so you don't need to re-partition then
[22:17] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: how will that help you protect your family network ?
[22:17] <Ty> ikonia: why not??????? i dont want to lose anything
[22:17] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: how will seeing what others see help you protect the network
[22:17] <mkhanyisi> webPragmatist, treat extended as an envelope and the logic partition as the real letter, now you cannot shrink the envelope if the letter fills it up. first shrink the letter first
[22:17] <ikonia> Ty: upgrade will upgrade what you always have
[22:17] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: I didn't say it was for my family network. You're putting words in my mouth.
[22:18] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: you said it was your job as the family IT guy
[22:18] <Ty> ikonia: i dont want to upgrade i want to install ubuntu 10.04
[22:18] <UT8F> http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/9725/screenshotxz.png I called it "When windows dont let you play anymore" lol
[22:18] <ikonia> !install | Ty
[22:18] <ikonia> Ty: you said you where running 9.04 and wanted to upgrade
[22:18] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: that's not the same as family network. A lot of people I know use public hotspots.
[22:18] <ikonia> 2:14 < Ty> oxidizer: im running ubuntu 9.04 and want to update to ubuntu 10.04
[22:19] <webPragmatist> mkhanyisi: I get Error: Could not detect file system.
[22:19] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: My family's home network is as encrypted as I can make it.
[22:19] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: so ? public hot spots are encypted
[22:19] <Ty> ikonia: how do i not lose anything!????
[22:19] <monotoko> UT8F, whats the nice bar down the side?>
[22:19] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: not really...
[22:19] <ikonia> Ty: then you don't want to install - you want to upgrade
[22:19] <monotoko> with all your info on it
[22:19] <LjL> TheMusicGuy: i'm a bit lost in all this. you want to detect other people sniffing you? you can't, unless those people *transmit* something, which they won't do if they're just passively sniffing.
[22:19] <UT8F> monotoko: conky?
[22:19] <mkhanyisi> webPragmatist, what application are you using to resize?
[22:19] <webPragmatist> mkhanyisi: parted
[22:20] <oxidizer> if you upgrade only nothing change
[22:20] <Monotoko> UT8F, thanks...iv been looking for something like it for a while
[22:20] <mizipzor> whats "sudo apt-get remove python" supposed to do?
[22:20] <Ty> ikonia: while im installing ubuntu 10.04 i want all my stuff to stay there.
[22:20] <UT8F> Monotoko: no problem
[22:20] <ikonia> Ty: you are NOT intalling ubuntu, you are upgrading, and it will not delete your data
[22:20] <Ty> ikonia: i want to partition my hard drive
[22:20] <mkhanyisi> webPragmatist, as I have told you, you  rather be an expert on those, otherwise stay away and use GParted
[22:20] <harrumph> I'm trying to get a Canon CanoScan 4400 to work with lucid lynx...found the model on this hardware blacklist...any ideas?  http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Hardware_blacklist
[22:21] <oxidizer> its not possible becoz you have to format it to ext 4
[22:21] <webPragmatist> mkhanyisi: if i had to guess… gparted is just going to say, sorry, no can do since it's lvm
[22:21] <TheMusicGuy> LjL: right, I understand that. But I want to be able to see what of my data others can see, and how it will look to them. For example, suppose I have two network devices, one my sniffer and one my "dummy victim", and I've connected both of them to the same public network.
[22:21] <whodat> get another printer...hehe
[22:21] <ikonia> oxidizer: no he doesn't have to format it
[22:21] <Bigshot> what does this error mean? tar: /home/src/ve-2.2-beta3/drivers/portaudio/portaudio_drv.o: Cannot open: Permission denied
[22:21] <Monotoko> ikonia, what did he do??
[22:21] <bezdomni> bigshot: sudo it?
[22:21] <mkhanyisi> webPragmatist, lvm, what is lvm and whats special about it?
[22:21] <oxidizer> thats tru but if he  want fresh installetion
[22:21] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: you know what data they can see - if it's unencypted - everthing
[22:22] <Pyker> Bigshot: it means you don't have permission to acess that file/folder. just run it under sudo
[22:22] <TheMusicGuy> LjL: I don't really know how sniffing works and I want to see it first-hand so I know how to defend against it.
[22:22] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: how will seeing it help you defend
[22:22] <Pyker> Bigshot: * access
[22:22] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: um, what? that's the way I learn.
[22:22] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: learn what
[22:22] <Bigshot> Pyker, i can't even copy it?
[22:22] <Pyker> Bigshot: i don't think so
[22:22] <Bigshot> i don't want to open it or anything just copy the file
[22:22] <Pyker> Bigshot: run it with sudo
[22:22] <oxidizer> TY just do upgrade you loose nothing
[22:23] <dipu_> oxidizer .. i think he should have mounted home on separate partition
[22:23] <whodat> wpa2 is unbreakable so encrypt yours with it
[22:23] <Monotoko> ikonia, i was trying to help TY via PM...thanks to you he's now gone...what warrented that kick??
[22:23] <webPragmatist> LVM is a flag
[22:23] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: ...in general. I learn from first-hand experience.
[22:23] <AhmedBH> Hi, I have just UNINSTALLED KDE and still when my computer boots up it says KUBUNTU how do i remove it ?
[22:23] <webPragmatist> mkhanyisi:
[22:23] <oxidizer> yaa may be
[22:23] <sarmeast> um
[22:23] <webPragmatist> dammit theres too many people in this chan
[22:23] <mizipzor> my package manager went nuts and started removing a shitload of packages... must have done something stupid... is there a way to check which packages that have been remove compared to a base install and reinstall them?
[22:23] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: there is nothing to learn, seeing a packet won't help you protect against it
[22:23] <webPragmatist> it's making my computer blow up
[22:23] <sarmeast> I've got a problem with 10.0.4
[22:23] <sarmeast> my laptop is force connected to a CRT
[22:23] <sarmeast> and I can't get the refresh rate to work properly
[22:24] <sarmeast> it flickers like crazy
[22:24] <sarmeast> so i can't even see text
[22:24] <LjL> TheMusicGuy: well then you want a packet sniffer i guess, though i wouldn't know about recommending one, but there's kismet for instance
[22:24] <Super-Man> !enter | sarmeast
[22:25] <TheMusicGuy> LjL: yeah I've kind of gathered what tools I would need at this point in the discussion. Now I'm just trying to explain my perspective to Ikonia...
[22:25] <ted_> hello.  i'm trying to find somebody who understands in some detail how the ubuntu 9.10 installation is set up.  i have a script that runs from preseed, like "d-i preseed/run string foo.sh", and i seem to have different stuff in /lib/modules/$(uname) from this script's perspective than i do when i run the "Execute a shell" menu item.  are there multiple initrds that get mounted in succession or something?
[22:25] <LjL> TheMusicGuy: i see.
[22:25] <AhmedBH> Hi, I have just UNINSTALLED KDE and still when my computer boots up it says KUBUNTU how do i remove it ?
[22:25] <ikonia> utter nonsense
[22:25] <o-brown> Hello, I've tried to install a program through the Ubuntu software centre but it crashed during the installation, now I can not install or remove anything and it shows me an error message related to python packages, can some one help me with this please ?
[22:26] <sarmeast> and now I can't go back in because I set my refresh rate too high, is there a way in the command line to fix this?
[22:26] <mizipzor> are there any system repair functions in ubuntu?
[22:26] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: ...are you, like, convinced that I'm going to steal credit card numbers or something?
[22:26] <Pyker> !enter | sarmeast
[22:26] <sarmeast> scuse me, but i did. I put that last statement on one line
[22:27] <TheMusicGuy> Seriously. If I were up to no good, I wouldn't be anywhere near here.
[22:27] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: no, your statment just makes no sense, you want to see packets so you can defand against them, if the network is open you can see everything, if the network is protected you can't see anything, either way seeing  a package won't teach you anything about how to protect, so I think you are either a.) telling lies b.) have no idea about what you're asking
[22:27] <Pyker> sarmeast: put the whole question in one line or two, so people can spot it easily...
[22:27] <harrumph> my package especially
[22:28] <ted_> is there another channel where preseed geeks are more likely to be lurking?
[22:28] <pynchon> http://www.gnaa.eu/export/343/trollforge/pynchon/dcc.html
[22:28] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: pressed ?
[22:28] <whodat> TheMusicGuy your in the wrong channel for that stuff, go to #backtrack
[22:28] <MaJic_NinJa> does any 1 know how to get the windows to drag to different workstation on ubunt lucid
[22:28] <Loshki> o-brown: can you paste the error message to http://ubuntu.pastebin.com
[22:28] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: sorry - that wasn't for you again
[22:28] <mizipzor> when i did "sudo apt-get remove python", did it also remove every package that depended on python?
[22:28] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: I'm sorry you don't understand why I want to know what I want to know.
[22:29] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: I don't know how else to explain it.
[22:29] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: there is no reason for you to sniff packages at all, as that won't teach you how to defend against anything
[22:29] <LjL> mizipzor: no, that shouldn't happen unless you do "sudo apt-get autoremove python"
[22:29] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: if something is "open" needs to be open to work so you can't defend
[22:29] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: so your logic is nonsnese
[22:29] <sarmeast> Ok. I have Ubuntu 10.0.4. Due to backlight problems, my laptop is force-connected to a CRT. This makes the screen flicker like crazy. I can't see any text legibly. I also tried to reset the refresh rate in the control panel after hunting around a bit. What is the command prompt way to get the refresh rate correct?
[22:29] <Loshki> ikonia: just tell him how to sniff packets and be done with it...
[22:29] <o-brown> Loshki: yes one moment please
[22:29] <dancek> ted_, i don't really know a lot but i've got the feeling that debian-installer is a chroot system or something so that might explain it
[22:29] <ted_> ikonia: preseed, the debian autoinstall thing
[22:30] <ikonia> ted_: I don't think there is a specific channel for that to be honest,
[22:30] <lvh> How do I install a TrueType font on Ubuntu?
[22:30] <LjL> !fonts | lvh
[22:30] <Super-Man> sarmeast : sudo service gdm restart
[22:30] <porter1> lvh, stick them in the .fonts directory in your home folder.
[22:30] <whodat> TheMusicGuy go to #backtrack the NSA and FBI are there and will be glad to help you
[22:31] <Loshki> ted_: perhaps on #debian itself?
[22:31] <Pyker> LOL
[22:31] <Pyker> sorry for that
[22:31] <mizipzor> LjL, hm... i dont know what happened then... it started removing packages like crazy... i though 829 mb was insanely much for python >.<
[22:31] <dupondje> 48599 frames in 5.0 seconds => is that a descent value for glxgears ?
[22:31] <ted_> dancek: yeah, i've uncompressed and uncpio'd the 9.10 initrd, and updated stuff there, and it shows up from the "Execute a shell" ash shell i get, but not from that script
[22:31] <LjL> mizipzor: wait sorry i misread what you typed. *yes*, that does remove everything that depends on python (i misread you as asking whether it would remove packages that python *depends on*)
[22:32] <sarmeast> Super-Man: Will that fix the refresh rate for a crt?
[22:32] <Super-Man> sarmeast : try
[22:32] <sarmeast> how do you boot straight into the command line?
[22:32] <mizipzor> LjL, thats very bad then i assum... system nuke? =p i havent installed much, is there a way to compare my currenty packages to a "base install" of ubuntu and reinstall anything thats missing in mine?
[22:32] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: Maybe my logic is nonsense, maybe not. but I have to experiment with it to make sure.  You can't defend against an open network, it has to be open to work
[22:33] <ted_> dancek: the confusing part is where it would be chrooting to
[22:33] <o-brown> Loshki: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/B6ZdBuYB
[22:33] <webPragmatist> mkhanyisi:  is there not a clish gui version of gparted
[22:33] <ted_> dancek: i've searched the initrd filesystem for modules.dep, and there's only one
[22:33] <webPragmatist> like gparted for ssh heh
[22:34] <mizipzor> LjL, haha, no internet connection on it... screw it, ill just plug the usb stick in there again
[22:34] <webPragmatist> mkhanyisi: what i did instead was resize the disk (it's a vm) and tried mkpart… but now when i try to add a partition to the free space it says i'm overlapping (even though I put 16.2GB vs 16.1GB
[22:34] <Loshki> o-brown: and which command is that from?
[22:34] <dancek> ted_, meh, i can't help you, try looking at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller and talking at #ubuntu-installer or even #debian
[22:34] <ted_> ok thanks
[22:35] <onetinsoldier> howdy
[22:35] <o-brown> Loshki: everytime I want to install or remove a program with the package manager
[22:35] <pokeh> hey guys I've gotten LIRC working 100%, but after a reboot, it seems the daemon isn't running and running 'sudo irexec' throws up 'irexec: could not connect to socket
[22:35] <pokeh> irexec: No such file or directory' any ideas?
[22:35] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: apt/dpkg problems? want to know my motto?
[22:36] <o-brown> Loshki: This problem occurs since the TRYTON installation crashed at half way
[22:36] <onetinsoldier> If you break my apt/dpkg, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine!
[22:36] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: again, maybe there's some piece of information that I am unknowingly withholding that would make my intent seem more sound. As is stands, however, my intents make perfect sense to me. Please don't assume what I'm trying to do is in any way a waste of time simply because you don't have the whole picture as I see it.
[22:36] <TheMusicGuy> ikonia: I'm done discussing this.
[22:37] <ikonia> TheMusicGuy: there is no picture, you cannot protect an open network, it needs to be open and clear to work
[22:37] <TheMusicGuy> *sigh* nevermind.
[22:37] <kr3w> how do i mount an iso image?
[22:37] <o-brown> Loshki: it seems that all this affected the python different packages, but even when I want to re-install python, I get this error
[22:38] <Loshki> o-brown: I don't see tryton in my packages lists. Where did you try to install it from?
[22:38] <h00k> ubottu: iso | kr3w
[22:38] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: sorry, what do you mean ?
[22:38] <mizipzor> LjL, to prevent this from happening again, would you mind telling me where i can find documentation on how to correctly handle programs installed from source? i want to download, compile and install python manually... i assume the package manager needs to know that python is installed in some way so it doesnt try, brining up conflicts and whatnot
[22:39] <o-brown> Loshki: from the Ubuntu Software Center
[22:39] <LjL> mizipzor, lots of stuff in Ubuntu depends on python, and installing it manually seems like one of the worst ideas one could come up with, honestly
[22:39] <rascal999> sudo service statd start -- fails with Warning: Fake initctl called, doing nothing.

[22:41] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: well, if you seen Star Wars, it means that when it comes to apt/dpkg problem, "The Force is with me, always". i know how to use The Force for those problems. show me your problem. i' am not saying i could get your 'tryton ' working
[22:41] <Tac> I just did an install, from the live CD .... but it looks like nothing is happening... I hit 'install' and now it just went back to the live screen ..... is there a way to see status, or if I maybe didn't do something?
[22:41] <whodat> ikonix are you getting paid for this work?
[22:41] <Loshki> o-brown: must be new in 10.04, I don't have it in 8.04. Please open a terminal and type 'sudo apt-get remove tryton-neso' and pastebin the output...
[22:41] <h00k> whodat: we're all volunteers.
[22:41] <whodat> wow
[22:41] <Pyker> Yep...
[22:42] <o-brown> Loshki: ok one moment please
[22:42] <Loshki> whodat: you couldn't afford what it would cost to pay people for this work...
[22:42] <LjL> mizipzor: generally speaking, the best thing to do to install programs from source would be to make a proper debian package out of them, so that they're properly integrated into the systeem. since that's difficult, however, another "decent" choice is to install them outside of the main tree, in /usr/local, while perhaps using "checkinstall" to make a (not particularly standards-adhering) debian package out of it automatically.
[22:42] <whodat> so how do you folks get training?
[22:42] <LjL> mizipzor: what i say doesn't really work for installing something as big and as important as python, though.

[22:46] <eudaimon> Hi! I have a problem regarding booting the ubuntu 10.4. when i try to boot it from cd instead of menu, a violet screen appears with a three small white icons at the bottom of the screen. and it blocks there.
[22:47] <jaay> Does irc have any dating channels our is if too technical for that
[22:47] <h00k> jaay: This isn't the appropriate place to ask that. Please check elsewhere.
[22:47] <TheMusicGuy> mizipzor: That page is dated 2007. Things have changed a lot since then. i tried installing usplash-related utilities before and those caused package conflicts as well...like, it threatened to remove system-crticial things like init and grub.

[22:48] <mizipzor> Super-Man, from the looks of it, you shouldnt try it
[22:48] <eudaimon> Let me repeat my this! I have a problem regarding booting the ubuntu 10.4. when i try to boot it from cd instead of menu, a violet screen appears with a three small white icons at the bottom of the screen. and it blocks there.

[22:50] <TheMusicGuy> mizipzor: I've had success about 3/4 of the time with obscure linux-related searches.
[22:50] <Loshki> o-brown: you can repeat your question no more often than every 15 minutes until a dpkg expert comes online, takes pity on you and helps you out...
[22:50] <onetinsoldier> Loshki: i bet i can get it worked out. it'll just take time
[22:50] <TheMusicGuy> mizipzor: this being one of the 1/4 of the time...
[22:50] <LjL> Elite: that's a matter of subjective opinion. it's easy enough to try out both.
[22:50] <puewi> sorry for repeat , but i really need help
[22:51] <puewi> hi ! i need remote login my server  using one bash scripts   ,like # telnet <IP_ADDRESS>   expect  login   send "<user>"   expect  "password" send "<password>"     , the problem is  how can i  hide the password in this scripts ,so other can  run this  scripts  but they can't see the password for the remote server
[22:51] <Loshki> onetinsoldier: feel free to help out, any number can play...
[22:51] <onetinsoldier> Loshki: roger that
[22:51] <onetinsoldier> let me glaze over it some
[22:51] <ikonia> puewi: the quick answer is you can't, use ssh keys
[22:51] <ni1s> puewi, use ssh keys
[22:51] <ni1s> yeah
[22:51] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: but why I can not simply remove all the packages mentioned and re-install them ?
[22:52] <puewi> ok i 'll try ssh keys  thanks
[22:52] <jaay> How do I Tripple boot microsoft ubuntu on my ls
[22:52] <jaay> MacBook
[22:52] <LjL> puewi: you can set the script -r, and then only the script owner and root will be able to read it, but i hope you're aware that both this script thing and using telnet are kludges that are probably very vulnerable to attacks.
[22:53] <LjL> gah.
[22:53] <ikonia> jaay: bootcamp
[22:53] <ikonia> jaay: that can be disussed in the channel ##apple
[22:53] <Loshki> Elite: gnome has slightly more users than KDE, so in theory it gets exercised more, so 'in theory' it should be stabler. In practice, who knows? They're both apparently stable enough for everyday use...
[22:53] <[Ptrck]> irc://irc.freenode.net
[22:54] <jaay> Bootcamp has no option for Linux apple seems very ubuntu unfriendly
[22:54] <pokeh> anyone know how to start up the LIRC daemon
[22:54] <LjL> pokeh: i guess "sudo service lirc start"
[22:54] <ikonia> jaay: bootcamp does have options for linux
[22:54] <ikonia> jaay: discuss in ##apple please
[22:54] <ScottMac> ikonia: but OSX might kill it at any point
[22:54] <ScottMac> I bought a new box to deal with that issue
[22:55] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: well, that looks like that what you need to do, and i'm going to show you how to do it. i can't really answer your question exactly per say. i'm not certain why the postinst scripts are bombing out.
[22:55] <ikonia> ScottMac: I can't be responsible for what apple may or may not do in the future
[22:55] <lobozoo> hi does anyone know why i get a line in the centre of my screen when i watch videos ive downloaded in fullscreen?
[22:55] <ScottMac> ikonia: the options that exist for bootcamp and linux aren't reliable
[22:55] <ScottMac> I wouldn't even recommend it
[22:55] <pokeh> LjL: That worked. Thanks D:
[22:55] <soupdragon> ScottMac do you know about getting ubuntu on a mac?
[22:55] <soupdragon> ;D
[22:56] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: tell me if you get the same problem if you run this command --> dpkg-reconfigure -a   you probably will. just thought i'd have you try that first though
[22:56] <ScottMac> so how often are packages updated from upstream? libtcmalloc on amd64 wasn't updated since 2008, on x86 it was this year
[22:56] <ScottMac> they fixed this in debian in January
[22:56] <ikonia> ScottMac: depends
[22:56] <Loshki> onetinsoldier: o-brown: I noticed an 'exec format error' message in there, which suggests a packaging error, perhaps for the wrong architecture?
[22:56] <ScottMac> I'm installing it from source for now but its not exactly idea
[22:56] <lobozoo> hi does anyone know why i get a line in the centre of my screen when i watch videos ive downloaded in fullscreen?
[22:57] <cindy> Bonjour ! :)
[22:57] <m_> dpkg --configure -a
[22:57] <cody_> anyone here having trouble getting their microphone to work on 10.4?
[22:58] <Loshki> lobozoo: I'd suspect a hardware problem actually. Faulty GPU card...? Try a different player first though...
[22:58] <whodat> cody try earcandy
[22:58] <JanSch> hi, does anyone know how to disable the NX bit emulation on ubuntu?
[22:58] <m_> 2 lines before configure
[22:58] <JanSch> (preferably without having to reboot and in a non-permanent way)
[22:58] <lobozoo> Loshki: any you can recommend
[22:59] <cody_> whodat: where do you extract it to? any folder?
[22:59] <mizipzor> the binary drivers confuse me... which package is the foss driver and which is the binary proprietary one? the latter use to be faster for me but i always forget which package it is
[22:59] <mizipzor> uh... nvidia gpu =p
[22:59] <whodat> cody its a package
[22:59] <U-b-u-n-t-u> I am tryin to install 10.04 on a sata drive (only hd on the machine) and it stops at 5% when going into partition operation.. anyone know why
[22:59] <Loshki> lobozoo: you're shopping for a new video card?
[22:59] <whodat> install normally
[23:00] <lobozoo> Loshki: no player?
[23:00] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: here is the results, http://pastebin.com/f9Si2XbK
[23:00] <Loshki> lobozoo: oh, silly me, any one of totem, xine, mplayer, vlc...
[23:01] <cody_> whodat: its a .gz. i open it up and i get bin/data/debian/earcandy/po. im not exactly sure what to do with all of these files
[23:01] <lobozoo> Loshki: ill try one thanx
[23:01] <whodat> use synaptic
[23:01] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: interesting.. that was it?   try apt-get -f install   you will probably get the errors then, but try it
[23:02] <whodat> cody you want the deb use the package mamager
[23:02] <ChogyDan> mizipzor: FOSS=nouveau   proprietary=nvidia
[23:02] <PeterDrop> system testing never stop, any idea?
[23:02] <vlt> Loshki: Hello and thanks again for your help analysing the C source code yesterday. I managed to put a 0x01 at the right place (just using echo and dd) and saved a whole LVM volume from being lost.
[23:02] <Loshki> U-b-u-n-t-u: it's a known previously working good mobo+drive?
[23:02] <Loshki> vlt: excellent!
[23:02] <SamuelPeterson> I am having issues with ubuntu lucid. I ran the live USB of 10.04 on a COMPAQ Presario V5000 and the wireless worked, but after installing it there is no wlan0 at all when I run ifconfig. lspci shows the device there though...
[23:02] <U-b-u-n-t-u> Loshki, it was working before
[23:03] <AbuBadr> hi there
[23:03] <mizipzor> ChogyDan, so its nvidia-current i want? correct?
[23:03] <Loshki> U-b-u-n-t-u: can you bring up the live cd?
[23:03] <AbuBadr> i have trouble installing flash player for firefox
[23:03] <ChogyDan> mizipzor: that is the latest.  The hardware driver manager should sort it out for you
[23:03] <U-b-u-n-t-u> Loshki, yes
[23:03] <eudaimon> mizipzor, ni1s, graphic card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3430 256MB, ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso sum checked
[23:04] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: i bet you get the long list of errors with the packages. so, we will go ahead and edit the list of packages that your package manager(dpkg) has installed. start by --> cd /var/lib/dpkg   tell me when your there
[23:04] <AbuBadr> i'm using ubuntu 64 bit
[23:04] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: it think it returns the same message, http://pastebin.com/0MeLrv6L
[23:04] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: yes.. it's the same package manager problem
[23:04] <eudaimon> mizipzor, ni1s, so let me repeat it, when i boot from cd a violet screen shows up with three white icons
[23:05] <Loshki> U-b-u-n-t-u: if you bring up the live cd, you should be able to run gparted from it. See if you can partition the disk that way. If you are successful, then you should be able to do a subsequent install and tell it to use the existing partitions you've just created...
[23:05] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: ok, should I switch to root to do this ? or always write sudo ?
[23:05] <xangua> AbuBadr: try this PPA https://launchpad.net/~sevenmachines/%2Barchive/flash
[23:05] <ni1s_eee> eudaimon, thats odd, try adding nosplash to the kernel cmd line in grub.cfg
[23:05] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: cd /var/lib/dpkg   ...you will be doing everything as root user of course. i'd just use 'sudo -i' get yourself a root prompt. however...
[23:06] <Loshki> onetinsoldier: gonna edit the status file?
[23:06] <U-b-u-n-t-u> Loshki, even when I create a partition the installation freezes ..... could it be a driver issues with the drive?
[23:06] <RAX_bg> hi guys  i have problems with phpmyadmin. Instead of getting the login screen i have a blank page. can u help?
[23:06] <onetinsoldier> Loshki: yes
[23:06] <ScottMac> ok begging comment posted on launchpad
[23:06] <AbuBadr> xangua, this is not free!!
[23:06] <eudaimon> ni1s_eee, maybe i should mention that i have win 7 installed on my laptop...
[23:06] <Renji> Hello guys, can some one help me change the 'lock screen' ? I done what the readme suggests but i cant make it work :/
[23:06] <Loshki> U-b-u-n-t-u: so when you run gparted from the livecd, creating a partition freezes and never completes?
[23:06] <ChogyDan> RAX_bg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/phpMyAdmin
[23:06] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: ok I'm there
[23:06] <dcmeese> How do I install "git xar patch"?
[23:06] <xangua> AbuBadr: ¿¿
[23:07] <U-b-u-n-t-u> Loshki, no just the install even when there is a partition
[23:07] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: if you don't use a command line editor, then you need to get a graphical one started as root, for example --> gksu gedit &
[23:07] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: ok, make a copy of the status file...  cp -v status status.bak
[23:08] <RAX_bg> ChogyDan: i have read that
[23:08] <whodat> what is the advantage of using gksu rather than sudo ?
[23:08] <AbuBadr> xangua, ok how to install? i didn't find download link
[23:08] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: then open up the status file in text editor. tell me when your ready
[23:08] <cody_> whodat: i have earcandy installed and i still dont see my headphones in my alsamixer
[23:08] <sebsebseb> whodat: gksudo
[23:08] <cody_> whodat: did you have this problem as well?
[23:08] <sebsebseb> whodat: if its graphical and you want root do gksudo otherwise do sudo
[23:09] <whodat> yes
[23:09] <sebsebseb> whodat: if you do sudo instead for a grapical app,  you might mess up some config
[23:09] <JoshyFox> Haaiii :D
[23:09] <Loshki> U-b-u-n-t-u: might be hardware, might be software. If I were you, I'd try again with 8.04...
[23:09] <Renji> Hello guys, can some one help me change the 'lock screen' ? I done what the readme suggests but i cant make it work :/
[23:09] <xangua> AbuBadr: first add the PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash
[23:09] <xangua> then: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-nonfree
[23:09] <sanjay> I installed ubuntu 10.04 in my computer.Italready have windows 7.But after  I Installed ubuntu my windows 7 operating system not showing in my grub.config list..  what to do ?
[23:09] <sidney> I read that k desktop was based on open vnc and is best for file servers is this the case
[23:09] <whodat> look earcandy over closly theres several sink options for in and out
[23:09] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: ok both actions are done
[23:09] <U-b-u-n-t-u> Loshki, ok
[23:09] <JoshyFox> My friend here needs some halp about 3G thingies, anyone got any knowledge on that
[23:09] <JoshyFox> ?*
[23:10] <mr> need to know where to get full explanation of downloading and putting wine to use
[23:10] <nixwolf> <--- Joshy's friend
[23:10] <JoshyFox> 8D
[23:10] <sebsebseb> mr: sudo apt-get install wine and open a Windows installer in it
[23:10] <NerveClasp> hello! is there any way to get back to XSplash in Ubuntu 10.04??
[23:10] <sebsebseb> !wine | mr
[23:10] <sebsebseb> !appdb | mr
[23:10] <whodat> I have to choose the analog out for mine to work
[23:10] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: ok, now, in that file you see how every package is listed as a section? each package has a section of it's own in there
[23:10] <sebsebseb> NerveClasp: seems so
[23:10] <sebsebseb> !info xsplash
[23:11] <nixwolf> have an HP un2400 Mobile Broadband Modem utilizing AT&T... how can I get it to work on Lucid?
[23:11] <sebsebseb> NerveClasp: not sure if its just remove what you can of Plymouth and put xplash on, probably not that simple
[23:11] <AbuBadr> xangua, ok done  then what to do?
[23:11] <Loshki> sidney: ubuntu server edition doesn't normally come with a desktop. so can you say a bit more about what your requirements are?
[23:11] <NerveClasp> I installed xsplash, but it doesn't work//
[23:11] <sebsebseb> NerveClasp: Anyway I assume your asking since you got a Plymouth issue, whats the issue?
[23:11] <vlt> sidney: What? k desktop, open vnc, file servers???
[23:11] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: yes I see this right now
[23:11] <xangua> AbuBadr: now restart the browser and go go flash
[23:12] <sanjay> I installed ubuntu 10.04 in my computer.Italready have windows 7.But after  I Installed ubuntu my windows 7 operating system not showing in my grub.config list..  what to do ?
[23:12] <sebsebseb> NerveClasp: Xsplash sucks really btw
[23:12] <NerveClasp> Plymouth is just not for me
[23:12] <sebsebseb> NerveClasp: why not?
[23:12] <sebsebseb> NerveClasp: you can have a text boot instead by the way
[23:12] <NerveClasp> it looks creepy
[23:12] <sebsebseb> NerveClasp: looks creepy?  you can change the theme
[23:12] <NerveClasp> I loved XSplash themes
[23:12] <AbuBadr> xangua,  :(  not working
[23:13] <sebsebseb> NerveClasp: quite a few nice Plymouth themes in the 10.04 repo
[23:13] <NerveClasp> still the idea of xsplash themeing was better
[23:13] <xangua> AbuBadr: then you did not do what i said
[23:13] <xangua> (17:09:37) xangua: AbuBadr: first add the PPA: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sevenmachines/flash
[23:13] <xangua> (17:09:37) xangua: then: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin64-nonfree
[23:13] <sebsebseb> NerveClasp: so downgrade to 9.10 maybe?
[23:13] <sidney> Loshki: i installed the minimal ubuntu install now i need a desktop. This is a file server that needs to be remote capable and lite
[23:13] <AbuBadr> xangua,  i did
[23:13] <ChogyDan> sanjay: try sudo update-grub
[23:13] <Suprano> greetings
[23:13] <xangua> AbuBadr: so you installed flashplugin64-nonfree¿¿
[23:13] <sebsebseb> NerveClasp: by doing a clean install of course, since you can't just downgrade an install of 10.04
[23:13] <cody_> i just accidentally deleted my top panel
[23:13] <mr> thanks will try some more but am old newbie with comprehension difficluties when it comes to comp verbalization
[23:13] <sebsebseb> !downgrade | NerveClasp
[23:13] <cody_> how can i restore it?
[23:13] <NerveClasp> 10.04 gave me some new good things lacking in 9.10
[23:13] <mr> will go and play and try
[23:13] <Suprano> I just booted the live dvd of the installer for 10.04. It now presents me with a login screen and no indication what login data to use.
[23:14] <sebsebseb> NerveClasp: such as?
[23:14] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: ok. i want you to do two things for every package that was having a problem in your pastebin. 1) remove the entire section of text for that package in that file. 2) in your root prompt, go to /var/lib/dpkg/info and do --> rm -fv *package_name*
[23:14] <StPiere> hello
[23:14] <StPiere> im trying to set my local network
[23:14] <AbuBadr> xangua,   DONT KNOW
[23:14] <progre55> hi guys. how do I find out my HD's RPM?

[23:14] <sebsebseb> cody_: right click on the other panel, and say you want to add a new panel
[23:14] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: start with the package named... python-genshi
[23:14] <sebsebseb> !panels | cody_
[23:14] <StPiere> laptop can see the desktop
[23:14] <synthetiq> its there a problem in general with 10.4/10.5 and the xwin crashing on dell laptops ?

[23:15] <StPiere> but desktop doesnt see the laptop
[23:15] <NerveClasp> I have asus laptop and the problem was when I plug in a jack of headphones the sound from laptop speakers still was on
[23:15] <dcmeese> What is the repo for patch?
[23:15] <ChogyDan> sanjay: it should list windows7 as it runs
[23:15] <synthetiq> the screen starts flashing out of no where
[23:15] <StPiere> any advice?
[23:15] <AbuBadr> xangua, i tried before to install from  adobe.com  but errors happened
[23:15] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: ok one moment please
[23:15] <sebsebseb> NerveClasp: ok, but thats got nothing to do with Plymouth
[23:15] <sanjay> is there any option for yahoo messenger video  call option on ubuntu 10.04?
[23:15] <xangua> AbuBadr: uninstall the deb you downloaded from adobe first+
[23:15] <cody_> sebsebseb: thanks :)
[23:15] <AbuBadr> xangua, i just typed what you told me to type in terminal
[23:15] <sebsebseb> cody_: done it? what did you do?
[23:16] <NerveClasp> ok, people, thanx)) I'll try to play with themes to plymoth... still xsplash had future.. it was beautiful.. so much space for creativity
[23:16] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: so I have to remove the entire parahraph that corresponds to that package ?
[23:16] <cody_> sebsebseb: i typed into the terminal waht the ubott told me to xD
[23:16] <normac> Does Lucid have any known resolution problems (even with non-nvidia cards)?
[23:16] <sebsebseb> cody_: ok and it gave you back the other panel?
[23:16] <sanjay> Chogy0an ..when computer turn on it showing windows 7 loader on sdb1 sda3.. but when i click on it  it ust showing blinking... on screen... what to do?
[23:16] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: ok, no hurries. make sure you get the name of the package correct when doing this. this is of a sensitive nature
[23:16] <JoshyFox> Can anyone help my friend with 3G problems? His 3G thing isn't being seen by ubuntu
[23:16] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: correct
[23:16] <AbuBadr> xangua,  i hope i can find that stupid deb i installed before
[23:16] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: ok
[23:17] <sanjay> is there any option for yahoo messenger video  call option on ubuntu 10.04?
[23:17] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: probably not that important, but just leave one carriage return in that file between the the paragraphs after you have removed the one pertaining to the problem
[23:18] <normac> Older versions of Ubuntu display fine on my computer but when I install Lucid, it has trouble displaying 1400 x 1050. The bottom panel is off the screen. I have to switch to a lower resolution to see it. 1400 x 1050 works fine in older versions
[23:18] <PDG1> does anyone have any experience using XBMC with linux?
[23:18] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: ok both operations are done for the package python-genshi
[23:19] <didiermah> bonjour
[23:19] <didiermah> !french
[23:19] <Loshki> sidney: I've had rotten luck in the past adding desktop software to a server installation, although it can be done in theory. Xfce is said to be a lightweight desktop, and you are supposed to be able to add it just by typing 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop'. I advise you to make a backup of your system before making such a large change, however...
[23:19] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: ok, just use your pastebin for the list. all of them are listed at the bottom. the next is... python-jinja2
[23:19] <sanjay> Chogy0an ..when computer turn on it showing windows 7 loader on sdb1 sda3.. but when i click on it  it ust showing blinking... on screen... what to do?
[23:19] <dcmeese> Why does apt-get need ubuntu CD? im connected to Internet
[23:19] <AbuBadr> xangua, i uninstalled  adobe flash plugin     but same problem :(
[23:20] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: ok thanks
[23:20] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: sure, you're welcome. let's just hope this works out ok. i've solved many people problems like this, but you never know
[23:20] <Loshki> dcmeese: it shouldn't. Try commenting out the cd-rom line in your /etc/apt/sources.list file...
[23:20] <dcmeese> Loshki: Will do
[23:21] <ChogyDan> sanjay: sorry I don't know
[23:21] <vlt> sinyao: lubuntu-desktop (LXDE) should be even more lightweight
[23:21] <sanjay> thanks for  ur response my dear... thank u so much
[23:21] <sidney> Loshki: can i use snaptic xfce
[23:21] <vlt> sidney: lubuntu-desktop (LXDE) should be even more lightweight
[23:21] <sanjay> Chogy0an ..when computer turn on it showing windows 7 loader on sdb1 sda3.. but when i click on it  it ust showing blinking... on screen... what to do?
[23:21] <rooth1> I've managed to mess up my ubuntu -- whenever I log in, the keyobard stops working and just gives a drum sound when I press any key. I can log in on the console but, I'm not sure what to do there
[23:21] <vlt> sinyao: sorry
[23:21] <AbuBadr> xangua, when browsing youtube    video box is opend but with error message
[23:21] <sidney> synaptic
[23:21] <sanjay> when computer turn on it showing windows 7 loader on sdb1 sda3.. but when i click on it  it ust showing blinking... on screen... what to do?
[23:22] <ania_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[23:22] <vlt> !repeat | sanjay
[23:22] <ania_> sanjay, go there read and make action https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[23:22] <Loshki> sidney: yes, although I'm not sure if a minimal server install will have synaptic. Also, see vlt's suggestion about using lubuntu-desktop instead of xubuntu-desktop (you can install both, but you said you wanted to keep it lightweight)...
[23:23] <sanjay> thanks ubottu.. i am  new entry  man  to ubuntu 10..4.. sory vlt...
[23:23] <Suprano> I can't login in the livecd, please advice :/
[23:23] <Suprano> tried empty user/pw already.

[23:33] <CT1> Hi.  My screens switch off after about 10 minutes if I don't move the mouse.  I have no screen saver and set power management to 'never'.  What else turns off my screens?

[23:34] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: ok, now try --> apt-get -s -f install
[23:34] <myrl> can pitivi export a vid in mp4 format?

[23:34] <ikonia> delta94

[23:36] <dipu_> AbuBadr .. synaptic is not uninstalling ?
[23:36] <k0d3g3ar> CT1, have you checked your BIOS settings on your motherboard?
[23:36] <sanjay_> How to fix screen resoution.. Mymotherboard is asus
[23:36] <Suprano> azirafal, does ubuntu/<blank> work for you?
[23:36] <CT1> k0d3g3ar: I have not checked, is it the only possibility?
[23:37] <AbuBadr> dipu_, xangua, now when i open youtube   i can see in the video box missing plug-in     and in the about:plugins i can see   Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999
[23:37] <k0d3g3ar> CT1, never say never...  but I'd check it first
[23:37] <xangua> AbuBadr: flash 9¿¿ what version of ubuntu are you using''
[23:37] <xangua> ¿¿
[23:37] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: here is the results, http://pastebin.com/dTDNitzb
[23:37] <CT1> k0d3g3ar: Thanks I'll check it out.
[23:37] <k0d3g3ar> sanjay_,  your motherboard is probably not relevant - its your video card or video system on there that is more important.  Can you tell us what that is?
[23:38] <Loshki> !resolution | sanjay_
[23:38] <dipu_> AbuBadr ..  does about:plugins show the file as File: libflashplayer.so
[23:38] <AbuBadr> dipu_,  it is uninstalling
[23:38] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: ok, your apt/dpkg is now fixed. now we need to fix your hostname problem as seen in your earlier pastebins
[23:38] <AbuBadr> xangua, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[23:39] <AbuBadr>                 - the Lucid Lynx - released in April 2010
[23:39] <widardd> can anyone recommend a ftp-client with gui, and ssl-support?
[23:39] <dcmeese> Loshki: Now I need libbz2 and libssl but apt-get says It doesn't exist
[23:39] <dcmeese> what sources do I need?
[23:39] <Jordan_U> solarion: Not working in what way?
[23:39] <xangua> AbuBadr: then uninstall that version of flash too, i don't know where you get that thing :S
[23:39] <azirafal> Suprano: ealier versions - yes, but not 10.04
[23:40] <AbuBadr> xangua,  :)   how?
[23:40] <dipu_> AbuBadr ..  u have older version of  libflashplayer.so
[23:40] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: please pastebin two files for me. they can be in the same paste bin --> /etc/hostname  and  /etc/hosts
[23:40] <xangua> AbuBadr: from synaptic
[23:40] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: cool !
[23:40] <giovanny> hi
[23:40] <onetinsoldier> Loshki: i got his apt/dpkg fixed :-)
[23:40] <giovanny> !
[23:40] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: :-)
[23:40] <AbuBadr> dipu_,   Location:	/usr/lib/swfdec-mozilla/libswfdecmozilla.so
[23:40] <ded`> sudo kill -9 $pid doesn't kill my process? what more can I do and why no error message?
[23:41] <Loshki> dcmeese: open a terminal and run apt-cache search libbz, then do it again with libssl
[23:41] <sanjay_> k0d3g3ar:My motherboard is asu M2N68-AM Plus
[23:41] <Suprano> azirafal, did you check your md5sum before burning?
[23:41] <xangua> AbuBadr: you also installed swfdec¿¿! :S
[23:41] <OttifantSir> I got a script from #bash and copied it to /usr/bin. Now I get this when I try to run it: /bin/bash: /usr/bin/2ogg: Permission denied. I have rwxr-x--x (in Nautilus)
[23:41] <xangua> oh my gosh...
[23:41] <azirafal> Suprano: Yes, for each download
[23:41] <solarion> Jordan_U: it refuses to boot?
[23:42] <solarion> I copied all of the files across, and I keep getting "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"
[23:42] <Jordan_U> ded`: It's a zombie process, it's not actually using any resources (its parent process is probably crashed since it isn't reaping its child)
[23:42] <solarion> I verified that this is legacy grub
[23:42] <dipu_> AbuBadr .. first step is to uninstall all flash players ...
[23:42] <solarion> (upgrded from karmic to lucid)
[23:42] <Suprano> azirafal, also for the dvd itself?
[23:42] <psyk> sooo
[23:42] <AbuBadr> dipu_, xangua,  i think i'll get rid of this ubuntu 64   and intstall 32
[23:42] <solarion> Jordan_U: the "Command line" instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto give me the same result
[23:42] <Suprano> azirafal, or cd ..
[23:42] <dcmeese> Loshki: Then what? That doesn't install it
[23:42] <solarion> I need this to work *now* or else my wife will kill me
[23:43] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: results, http://pastebin.com/i9AVSrB3
[23:43] <Jordan_U> solarion: What happens when you try to boot, and do you have more than one hard drive?
[23:43] <psyk> I have my mic plugged in, but under system->preferences->sound it doesn't detect the input device. It worked fine yesterday, and works fine in slackware.
[23:43] <xangua> AbuBadr: if you are going to install all plugins too is going to be the same, select only ONE
[23:43] <dipu_> AbuBadr .. problem is not with ubuntu ..problem is firefox is not able to pick up the latest flash player
[23:43] <crdlb> OttifantSir: you can't execute a file that you can't read
[23:43] <solarion> Jordan_U: jein; I have an ubuntu livced thumbdrive emulated as a hard drive
[23:43] <solarion> Jordan_U: otherwise no (System76 Meerkat)
[23:43] <azirafal> Suprano: yup, everything looks fine until trying to login. I guess i need to find another pc and give it a try
[23:43] <xangua> dipu_: the prpoblem is that he installed adone flash, gnash and swfdec
[23:44] <OttifantSir> crdlb: OK. So change the perms to read for the group too then.
[23:44] <solarion> Jordan_U: when I try to boot it from the livecd using "Boot from first hard drive" I just get a blinking cursor
[23:44] <tktiddle> Hi I'm getting error trying to install guest additions on virtualboxOSE... error says unable to mount cd/dvd image VBoxGuestAdditions_3.1.6.iso
[23:44] <dipu_> AbuBadr .. first uninstall all flash plugins ..
[23:44] <Loshki> dcmeese: that will give you their correct names, so you can install them via synaptic...
[23:44] <dcmeese> gotcha
[23:44] <ded`> Jordan_U: sudo pkill -9 evince still doesn't kill the evince processes which have become unresponsive. I'm not sure how I can say more strongly that they must die. And why no error message?
[23:44] <dcmeese> I figured that out now
[23:44] <dcmeese> Thanks
[23:44] <Jordan_U> solarion: And that's without the flash drive plugged in?
[23:45] <solarion> Jordan_U: how can I verify that it's installed to the mbr
[23:45] <Loshki> dcmeese: :-)
[23:45] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: ok. your /etc/hosts file, edit it as root, and change  #<IP_ADDRESS>      O-Brown   -to-  <IP_ADDRESS>      O-Brown     ...in other words, just remove that '#'
[23:45] <webPragmatist> is there a good tutorial on partitions
[23:45] <cody_> anyone who is using custom mouse pointers, could you please help me install a packet of x11 pointers?
[23:45] <solarion> Jordan_U: blinking cursor is when I start from the livecd and select "Boot from first hard drive"
[23:45] <Jordan_U> solarion: Run this script: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/
[23:45] <AbuBadr> dipu_, xangua,  i got to go right now   i'll try tomorrow   if i face any difficulties i'll format and install 32    i was using before without any problems
[23:45] <dcmeese> Loshki: Is there a way to perm. Give myself root permission?
[23:46] <crdlb> OttifantSir: more precisely, it appears you can't execute a script that you can't read (a binary works fine)
[23:46] <dipu_> AbuBadr .. its a simple fix ..u need not uninstall for that
[23:46] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: ok it's done
[23:46] <Loshki> dcmeese: you can do sudo -i, but it's considered bad practice, as it's too easy to make mistakes...
[23:46] <dipu_> AbuBadr .. anyway ..bye
[23:46] <crdlb> OttifantSir: you're not in the group; you need to add it to 'others' too
[23:46] <dcmeese> Loshki: Ok
[23:46] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: cool. would it be a problem to reboot the system at this time and then come back here?
[23:47] <nerdy_kid> so im going to image a hard drive with dd and am wondering how i would resize the image to a bigger hard drive.
[23:47] <Sirisian> When you look in cpuinfo and it returns 8 entries for the processors is that 8 cores?
[23:47] <OttifantSir> crdlb: I already figured that out, but thank you. I am in the root-group, but maybe not if I don't supply sudo first. Anyways, got it to work, so thank you for your help
[23:48] <rahduke> hey i reset my modem +router and hadda take my computer apart, when I got everything back together my IP changed.... this screwed up my entire NFS/Samba network.... how can i set a static IP to this computer ????
[23:48] <solarion> Jordan_U: can't; no internet from there
[23:48] <Snarkster> i just installed a sata raid card, and 1.5 Tb drive.. The card shows up fine in lspci but no hard drive.. Im not very familiar with sata can anyone offer suggestions.. Oh the drive seems to not have and power.
[23:48] <ania_> cat /proc/cpuinfo   search for cpu cores:...
[23:48] <crdlb> OttifantSir: you should not be in the root group
[23:48] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: i just want o make your system take the new hostname and rebooting might be the easiest way to make certain of it. can you reboot and come back here?
[23:49] <linux> 6
[23:49] <o-brown> onetinsoldier: yes I'll be right back
[23:49] <Jordan_U> ded`: There is no error because technically the process is killed, it just hasn't been reaped. Killing the parent process will make the process a child of init, which will then reap it. Be certain though that the parent process is something you're willing to kill (and again, zombies don't really hurt anything)
[23:49] <onetinsoldier> o-brown: ok, cool. see you in a bit
[23:50] <Snarkster> i just installed a sata raid card, and 1.5 Tb drive.. The card shows up fine in lspci but no hard drive.. Im not very familiar with sata can anyone offer suggestions.. Oh the drive seems to not have and power.
[23:50] <OttifantSir> crdlb: Or the sudoers group or something along those lines. I have admin-privileges as it's my computer. As long as things work, I don't fret too much.
[23:50] <widardd> can anyone recommend a ftp-client with gui, and ssl-support?
[23:51] <Jordan_U> solarion: First of all, are you installing grub to the mbr or to a partition?
[23:51] <bluag> anyone can help me with torrent speeds ?
