[15:58] <cwainey> ActionParsnip, I know that. but it shouldn't affect booting into recovery console. that skips plymouth and boots text based
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> cwainey: if you uninstall the nvidia driver, is it ok?
[15:59] <cwainey> ActionParsnip, no.
[16:00] <cwainey> ActionParsnip, I select the _linux hernel here_-(recovery mode) option in grub, and I get the out of range error. I don't even get to select an option, yet normal boot works fine.
[16:01] <cwainey> IfI try to drop into a tty console from a normal boot, I get the out of range message.
[16:01] <robotti^> hello!
[16:02] <robotti^> I have problem with sound.
[16:02] <minixvbox> robotti^: checked alsamixer?
[16:02] <cwainey> robotti^,  Like...?
[16:02] <robotti^> no sound when I am trying watch videos in browser
[16:02] <robotti^> minixvbox: I have sound when using video players on computer
[16:02] <robotti^> but not in browser videos
[16:02] <ActionParsnip> cwainey: you can set the res in /etc/default/grub    you will need a chroot from liveCD to change the grub and such
[16:03] <robotti^> cwainey: do you know what is problem?
[16:03] <robotti^> minixvbox: what I should do in alsamixer?
[16:03] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: can you give a pastebin of the output of:   uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[16:03] <minixvbox> robotti^: is that via flash in the browser (like youtube)
[16:03] <cwainey> robotti^, sounds like an issue with flash, do you have the latest version?
[16:03] <robotti^> minixvbox: flash yep
[16:04] <robotti^> cwainey: Just installed
[16:04] <robotti^> cwainey: videos play, but without sound
[16:04] <minixvbox> robotti^: which vids don't work?
[16:04] <robotti^> it is like it does not know what is sound output-device.
[16:04] <robotti^> minixvbox: videos work, but no sound
[16:04] <robotti^> in flash objects/videos
[16:04] <minixvbox> robotti^: on all ones in flash?
[16:04] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: can you give a pastebin of the command I gave please......
[16:05] <robotti^> minixvbox: yes
[16:05] <minixvbox> robotti^: sorry, i'm slow typing
[16:05] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: what command?
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> (16:03:39) ActionParsnip: robotti^: can you give a pastebin of the output of:   uname -a; lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'
[16:05] <n2i> Hi! How to select cursors theme? I have remember there is some command such as 'command --config cursor blah blah' but I cannot remember exactly that command now :|
[16:05] <mneptok> robotti^: try this. log out and back in. first thing, find a Flash web video to watch? is there sound if no other app has yet used the audio subsystem?
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: itwas quite clear.
[16:06] <mneptok> robotti^: and before you log out, pastebin ActionParsnip's stuff for us to look at while you try allowing Flash first access to audio.
[16:06] <BoxyK> Sorry to bother you again, but I didn't receive any answer earlier: There's a warning in Ubuntu that the full-charge capacity of the battery has dropped. Does anyone know where to configure the threshold for this warning?
[16:06] <BoxyK> Can anyone help?
[16:07] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/BGK9CT5J
[16:07] <Trevor69420> haha all that time figuring this out and the onlything that i didnt try was adding eth1 to the interface line
[16:07] <hotfloppy> hey guys.. what is this mean ? "The username (hotfloppy) with which you tried to log in is already in use for a different account." got this when i try to login to loco.ubuntu.com using launchpad account.. is loco.ubuntu.com is for ubuntu members only ?
[16:07] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-installer     then enable the partner repo and install the adobe-installer package
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> BoxyK: what make and model system?
[16:08] <ActionParsnip> BoxyK: and what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[16:08] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: now it is done
[16:08] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: what now
[16:08] <BoxyK> ActionParsnip: It's an old Lenovo. I don't remember the exact model name now.
[16:08] <robotti^> how to enable partner repo?
[16:09] <zykotick9> !partner | robotti^
[16:09] <scribawf> I managed to mess up my WM with Enlightment, how do I recover my Gnome WM?
[16:09] <MonkeyDust> robotti^  open Synaptic and select Settings - Repos
[16:09] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: enable the partner repo and install the adobe-installer and you will get 64bit flash for your 64bit OS
[16:09] <Apteryx> Hello folks! Would anyone know how to enable auto-login remotely from ssh?
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> Apteryx: use SSH keys
[16:10] <davide> HELLO
[16:10] <BoxyK> ActionParsnip: Is it something model-specific?
[16:10] <ActionParsnip> BoxyK: and the output of:   lsb_release -sc
[16:10] <robotti^> ubottu: now sudo apt-get update?
[16:10] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: now sudo apt-get update?
[16:10] <davide> can someone help me with this broken sd-card ?   http://paste.ubuntu.com/871650/     i need to recover the files
[16:10] <Captain_America2> hey does any body know how to install ubuntu 11.10 on a Gateway G6-333c?
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: if the repo is enabled and you have all gui package apps closed, yes
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> Captain_America2: make an install USB or CD, boot to it and install
[16:11] <Trevor69420> Captain_America2,
[16:11] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: and now sudo apt-get install adobe-installer?
[16:11] <starsinmypockets> Is it possible to forbid a user to change permissions on a specific directory?
[16:11] <Trevor69420> errr Captain_America2 whats the issue?
[16:11] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: run:  apt-cache search adobe   to double check the package name
[16:11] <Captain_America2> its meant for running windows 98 but i have windows xp
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> Captain_America2: thats irrelevant
[16:12] <Captain_America2> its a little slow at booting up but it works
[16:12] <Trevor69420> Captain_America2, did u try installing ubuntu and ran into problems?
[16:12] <ActionParsnip> Captain_America2: again, doesn't mean anything
[16:13] <Captain_America2> know it doesnt recognize the cd i created
[16:13] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: adobe-flashplugin?
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: sounds good
[16:13] <zykotick9> Captain_America2: how much memory is in that system?  i wouldn't imagine very much.  Perhaps if ubuntu doesn't give the performance you want, you could try lubuntu for a lighter version
[16:13] <Trevor69420> Captain_America2, have ou burned an ISO before
[16:13] <Captain_America2> i tried everything even usb stick but it does appear on boot
[16:13] <VIPER-II> guys? Anyone here has experience about avoiding so-called "honeypots" in Torrent world? I'm looking for a client for my Ubuntu machine.
[16:13] <ActionParsnip> Captain_America2: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[16:13] <Captain_America2> 512 mb ram
[16:13] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: it is installed
[16:13] <zykotick9> Captain_America2: i doubt a win98 based system would support USB booting
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: ok then close all browsers and rerun, should be ok
[16:14] <Captain_America2> yes  it is verified ok
[16:14] <mintman> bios
[16:14] <ActionParsnip> Captain_America2: what video card do you use?
[16:14] <Apteryx> ActionParsnip: I meant local auto-login (instead of stopping at gdm screen and asking for credentials at login)
[16:14] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: no sound
[16:15] <Apteryx> ActionParsnip: but that machine currently has no monitor and keyboards and mouse to configure this graphically, so I'm trying to do it via SSH, modifying files.
[16:15] <Trevor69420> VIPER-11: what do you mean? are you looking to block honeypots?
[16:15] <Captain_America2> it doesnt have one jus ati 3-D agp
[16:15] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: video is playing, but no sound
[16:15] <Mech0z> How do you give write access to sabnzbd?
[16:15] <raido> starsinmypockets: sure, as long as they are not an owner of the dir and dont have write permissions on it
[16:15] <mintman> BIOS
[16:15] <VIPER-II> Trevor: uhuh. Not sure how to avoid that. I've always downloaded with Usenet.
[16:15] <MonkeyDust> robotti^  in a Terminal, type alsamixer, if you see MM, go there and press M
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> Apteryx: ssh doesn't use a GUI, its a text based login
[16:16] <Trevor69420> VIPER-II, i think u can use MoBlock to block torren honeypots, but i have not used it
[16:16] <Trevor69420> it works like peer guardian
[16:16] <starsinmypockets> raido - well, the problem is I'm trying to control a bug that's changing the permissions of the assets folder, so I thought I could cheat and forbid that, but it needs ownership & write permission
[16:16] <Captain_America2> i dont have a graphics card just Ati 3-D AGP manafactured in 1998
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: can you give the output of:   sudo updatedb; locate libflashplugin.so        Thanks
[16:16] <Trevor69420> Captain_America2, this is a graphiocs card
[16:16] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: i think Apteryx wants to enable DM autologin, not ssh
[16:17] <VIPER-II> Trevor: my friend... i have NO clue whatsoever what 'peer guardian' is either. All i know is that some companies send ur ISP an email telling them that you're being naughty.
[16:17] <mintman> VIPER-II: You mean trackers!
[16:17] <Trevor69420> Captain_America2, if you can plug a monitor in it it has a graphics card
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> Captain_America2: thats the graphics card, the fact its onboard is moot, its still attached to the same bus and will be seen the same in any OS
[16:17] <slackjaw> i'm using XChat-GNOME as my IRC client and i wish to know how to change the server
[16:17] <Trevor69420> alas not a very good one but it's still one
[16:17] <Captain_America2> oh ok
[16:17] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: flash is working, but it's sound it is not working
[16:17] <Captain_America2> but it runs through a agp chip
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> slackjaw: run:    /server servername
[16:17] <VIPER-II> mintmain: something like that.
[16:17] <Trevor69420> VIPER-II, i think you want moblock
[16:17] <Captain_America2> no card
[16:17] <Apteryx> ActionParsnip: I know :). I think I found the solution, I need to modify /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
[16:17] <slackjaw> thanks will do that
[16:17] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: can you pastebin the output of the command I gave please
[16:17] <VIPER-II> Trevor: that blocks the peer or it blocks the whole torrent itself?
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> Apteryx: sweet :D
[16:18] <VIPER-II> The thing is, I'm trying to figure out "HOW do they catch you"  ?
[16:18] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: I do not have installed updatedb
[16:18] <Trevor69420> it doesnt block all of torrents it bliocks a list of IPs that are known to be "honeypots" as you call them
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> Captain_America2: try the boot option: nomodeset
[16:18] <VIPER-II> ah
[16:18] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: its in a standard install
[16:18] <Apteryx> ActionParsnip: hmm but "autologin-user=myuser" is already in this file... so this stopped working from 11.10 to 12.04
[16:18] <Trevor69420> it uses a list of trackers to block
[16:18] <raido> starsinmypockets: well thats a sticky wicket
[16:18] <VIPER-II> hmm
[16:19] <sd7> VIPER-II: They can see everything.
[16:19] <Trevor69420> but you need to remember it's not 100% cuz some may not be in the list
[16:19] <Captain_America2> how do you tdo that?
[16:19] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: robotti@cybersoturi:~$ sudo updatedb
[16:19] <robotti^> sudo: updatedb: command not found
[16:19] <VIPER-II> sd7: they are supposed to see peers that connect to them, right?
[16:19] <VIPER-II> They dont particularly need to send/receive data with you... the only fact that u're listed in the "leecher' is enouhg... is't it?
[16:19] <Trevor69420> it's the fake trackers that are reporting you
[16:19] <Trevor69420> not the ISP
[16:19] <sd7> VIPER-II: Yeah.
[16:20] <starsinmypockets> raido well put... I'm having a hell of a time debugging this
[16:20] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: so you see.
[16:20] <VIPER-II> Trevor: indeed. so this program avoids you from even connecting to those trackers?
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: sudo apt-get install mlocate
[16:20] <Captain_America2> how do you find nomodeset?
[16:20] <Trevor69420> VIPER-II, yep
[16:20] <Trevor69420> VIPER-II, that's the idea anyways
[16:20] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: thank you, now it is installed!
[16:21] <zykotick9> !nomodeset | Captain_America2
[16:21] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: now running updatedb
[16:21] <VIPER-II> Trevor:  ehm... 'does it work?'
[16:21] <VIPER-II> the idea?
[16:21] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: I am using ubuntu server
[16:21] <Captain_America2> i have an intel PhoenixAward bios version 4O4CL0X0.15A.0009.P05
[16:22] <Trevor69420> VIPER-II, Yea, but i use peerguardian not MoBlock, but it;'s the same thing
[16:22] <Trevor69420> and i have never had issues with peer guardian
[16:22] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: You are using desktop. You cannot view flash in CLI interface
[16:22] <VIPER-II> Trevor: then why shouldn't i use peerguardian?
[16:22] <sd7> web block, Proxy! :okay:
[16:22] <Trevor69420> VIPER-II, peerguardian doesnt run on ubunut it's for windows
[16:22] <VIPER-II> oh
[16:23] <Trevor69420> ubuntu*
[16:23] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: yes. but this is ubuntu server edition, I just installed ubuntu-desktop on it
[16:23] <VIPER-II> MoBlock, heh?
[16:23] <Trevor69420> moblock does what peerguardian does just for ubuntu
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: why did you install the server if you wanted a desktop OS?
[16:23] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: I was just thinking if it does work because of that reason.
[16:23] <Trevor69420> VIPER-II, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MoBlock
[16:23] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: because this xbmc and media-server
[16:23] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: by installing the desktop, you now have the desktop OS, not server.
[16:23] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: and it is connected to hdtv
[16:24] <VIPER-II> ah... nice
[16:24] <VIPER-II> tx
[16:24] <mneptok> VIPER-II: what torrent client do you use?
[16:24] <freewayzify> hey pals
[16:24] <plouffe> Trevor69420, is it whitelist or blacklist?
[16:24] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: can you give the output of:    sudo find / | grep flash | grep so
[16:24] <Trevor69420> blacklist plouffe
[16:24] <freewayzify> mneptok wat version of linux are u using
[16:25] <Trevor69420> but i guess it could be configured for whatever...
[16:25] <Trevor69420> but i think in his case it makes sense to use blacklist
[16:25] <freewayzify> @Action pls help
[16:25] <mneptok> freewayzify: err ... why?
[16:25] <VIPER-II> i dont have any torrent clients yet
[16:25] <mneptok> VIPER-II: are you using Ubuntu?
[16:25] <VIPER-II> uhuh
[16:25] <mneptok> VIPER-II: if so, Transmission comes pre-installed.
[16:26] <VIPER-II> Transmission u say?
[16:26] <VIPER-II> ok
[16:26] <plouffe> blacklist sounds useless
[16:26] <Captain_America2> what is nomodeset again floodbot3
[16:26] <mneptok> VIPER-II: i highly suggest you run it before continuing.
[16:26] <minixvbox> Captain_America2: it disables kernel mode setting
[16:26] <zykotick9> !nomodeset > Captain_America2
[16:26] <Trevor69420> plouffe, why
[16:26] <mneptok> VIPER-II: i also highly suggest you take a long look at all the preference panes.
[16:27] <grendal-prime> I have this script i have to run to compile new network drivers for my phisical nic in my netbook.   Every time i get a kernel upgrade i have to run module assistance to get the source for the new kernel..i thought there was a generic package i could install that would also grab the kernel source for my new kernel..
[16:27] <grendal-prime> whats that package called?
[16:27] <Nine_9> hey guys, I don't understand how unicode strings work in python... how can i get the first letter in this case: http://paste.ubuntu.com/871676/
[16:27] <Trevor69420> it blacklists the IPs of the known honeypot trackers
[16:27] <Trevor69420> which is what he wants
[16:27] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/fnuNR0Hk
[16:27] <zykotick9> grendal-prime: check out dkms perhaps?
[16:28] <plouffe> Trevor69420, what about the unknown ones
[16:28] <freewayzify> help! help!
[16:28] <crf_> hi Synaptic is crashing terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range'
[16:28] <crf_>   what():  vector::_M_range_check
[16:28] <Trevor69420> plouffe well no it cant block those but nothing can
[16:28] <jrib> Nine_9: #python
[16:28] <Trevor69420> a whitelist wouldnt help him either
[16:28] <plouffe> or the ones just set up today, because their old one got blacklisted
[16:28] <Nine_9> jrib: i'm not allowed to chat there
[16:28] <Trevor69420> they update
[16:28] <Trevor69420> every hour or so
[16:28] <VIPER-II> funny though that the "Transmission" interface doesn't show any "config" button
[16:28] <Trevor69420> i mean it's not 100% fool proof
[16:28] <jrib> !register | Nine_9
[16:29] <Trevor69420> but better than whitelist
[16:29] <freewayzify> @jrib u know pyhton very well
[16:29] <minixvbox> !fixapt | crf_
[16:29] <jrib> Nine_9: you need to register and identify to enter #python
[16:29] <mneptok> VIPER-II: Edit > Preferences
[16:29] <Nine_9> jrib: ok, thank you.
[16:29] <Trevor69420> if he used a whitelist he wouldnt be able to =conncect to any trackers until he knew akll the ones he could trust
[16:29] <plouffe> whitelist is safer
[16:29] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: yes. what you think?
[16:29] <VIPER-II> weird.
[16:29] <plouffe> Yea, but if you want safety, how do you discover which ones are fake?
[16:30] <VIPER-II> i'll physically walk to the PC and switch to root
[16:30] <plouffe> wait till someone gets sued 6 months after the fact?
[16:30] <VIPER-II> cuz in the 'user' mode, i'm not getting any buttons except for downloading etc... nothing about prefs
[16:30] <Trevor69420> plouffe well there's a community that does that...like i said it's not 100% fool proof but it does a very good job
[16:30] <mneptok> VIPER-II: you do not need root
[16:30] <minixvbox> freewayzify: you need to state your problem to get help
[16:30] <mintman> Trevor69420: Nothing is just setup a new client and the fbi can wrap a few hundered times at the door for illegal downloads.
[16:30] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: can you give the output of:   file /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libflashplayer.so
[16:30] <Trevor69420> plouffe, they can usually tell who owns the IP
[16:30] <elijah> How can I access a file on another Xubuntu computer on the same wifi network? I went to Nautilus went to "Go" then "Location" and then entered network:///computer-name and got a funky error
[16:30] <crf_> Ta, minixvbox, but that didn't stop synaptic from crashing.
[16:30] <zykotick9> plouffe: Trevor69420 this whitelist/blacklist torrent discussion has gotten away from ubuntu support
[16:30] <plouffe> it doesn't souind very proof at all to me
[16:30] <elijah> I can ping the computer in CLI
[16:31] <Trevor69420> sorry zykotick9
[16:31] <Dr_willis_> elijah,  samba, sshfs, or other file shareing services.
[16:31] <VIPER-II> mneptok: can i have ur attention in private for awhile?
[16:31] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/LptVRMdt
[16:31] <minixvbox> crf_: do you have any ppas installed (or compiled programs yourself)
[16:32] <crf_> minixvbox, no self compiled ppas
[16:32] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: looks good, 64bit :)
[16:32] <mneptok> VIPER-II: run Tansmission. in the "Edit" menu is "Preferences." you open the preferences. you select the "Security" tab and enable the blacklist.
[16:32] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: I now, because I installed it :D
[16:32] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: but why no sound?
[16:32] <minixvbox> crf_: hmm, sounds odd, maybe file a bug
[16:32] <robotti^> i know
[16:33] <minixvbox> !bug | crf_
[16:33] <VIPER-II> mneptok: mate, do you see "File Edit View etc..." at the top? Cuz i dont!
[16:33] <VIPER-II> I have the top bar
[16:33] <VIPER-II> then it continues with a bar with big buttons on which there is just "OPEN-button" a "Traingle" a "PAUSE" a "Minus" and "Properties" which is greyed out
[16:33] <mneptok> VIPER-II: cannot explain. i get a menubar here. but i'm XFCE, not Unity.
[16:33] <elijah> Dr_willis_: Is the shares-admin command a good place to start?
[16:34] <ActionParsnip> robotti^: is it the same if you install chromium-browser ?
[16:34] <crf_> minixvbox, bug 879383
[16:34] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: I have installed chrmium-browser
[16:35] <VIPER-II> hmm.... realy weird.  The thing is, i've tweaked "uTorrent" on windows to run as i want. So i really know about the torrent setings portforwarding and connection-max-numbers etc...
[16:35] <VIPER-II> but i simply can't get into the "Settings"     :S
[16:36] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: no sound on html5 and flash videos when using chromium
[16:36] <Dr_willis_> elijah,  never heard of that command. I just set up and use sshfs or ssh these days for quick transfers btween linux box's
[16:36] <Captain_America2> hey where do you type !nomodeset in windowsxp?
[16:36] <sasori> hi, what type of character is this ? \xD0\xA3  ?
[16:36] <Dr_willis_> Captain_America2,  thats a bot trigger.. not a windows command
[16:36] <Captain_America2> sorry
[16:36] <Dr_willis_> !nomodeset
[16:36] <zykotick9> Captain_America2: nomodeset isn't something to edit in WinXP, you edit at the Grub menu
[16:36] <Dr_willis_> see :)
[16:37] <Captain_America2> how do you get to this grub menu?
[16:37] <Guest72257> ciao
[16:37] <Dr_willis_> read the url the bot gave Captain_America2
[16:37] <rymate1234> you know the menu that comesup when you boot Captain_America2
[16:37] <rymate1234> thats the grub menu
[16:38] <Guest72257> !list
[16:38] <elijah> Dr_willis_: gtk
[16:38] <Captain_America2> i don't think my computer can support that feature
[16:38] <robotti^> ActionParsnip: what you suggest next?
[16:38] <Captain_America2> its too old
[16:39] <blaxbb> I managed to break postfix's config while installing it (invalid character in the server name.)  Any way to force the configuration options again on install?
[16:39] <Captain_America2> it dates back when it depends on legtacy devices not usb
[16:39] <omnom> anyone that know why I cant use a socks(ssh) that i've setup?
[16:39] <Guest72257> list grz
[16:39] <Captain_America2> "legacy"
[16:39] <omnom> here is a log http://paste2.org/p/1929109
[16:39] <sipior> blaxbb: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix", if i follow you correctly.
[16:40] <blaxbb> can't just reconfigure it as it is not installed
[16:40] <Merwin> Hi! I'm looking for a gui tools like "UltraEdit". I've got a 1 line file and I would like to add \n every 160 chars. GEdit doesn't handle this
[16:40] <Dr_willis_> blaxbb,  that command reruns the same config setup.
[16:41] <elijah> If a folder is being shared on the network how do I access in Nautilus? On the left I selected browse network but all I see is windows network - 0 bytes
[16:41] <blaxbb> "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: postfix is not installed
[16:41] <Captain_America2> my bios version is reallly old i dont think it has grub
[16:41] <sipior> blaxbb: then install it.
[16:41] <Dr_willis_> Merwin,  vi and emacs have macro features. or use a tool like awk
[16:41] <elijah> I have a folder shared on a xubuntu machine and I want to access it from an Ubuntu machine
[16:41] <Merwin> dr_willis, nothing easy to use ? :D
[16:41] <Dr_willis_> Captain_America2,  grub is what boots linux..
[16:42] <Dr_willis_> Merwin,  i find vim very easy to use
[16:42] <blaxbb> that just fails with "Unmatched ( in regex; marked by <-- HERE in m/(^|[\.])ubuntu.( <-- HERE mail$/ at /tmp/postfix.config.135501 line 236, <STDIN> line 14.
[16:42] <Trevor69420> is there a way to set a size quota for FTP users
[16:42] <Captain_America2> but my comouter doesnt recognize the grub boot feature
[16:42] <Dr_willis_> 160li<space><escape>  (i think)
[16:42] <Trevor69420> so that each user can only get a certain amount of space for their FTP box
[16:42] <omnom> anyone that know why I cant use a socks(ssh) that i've setup? Here is a log: http://paste2.org/p/1929109
[16:42] <Dr_willis_> then . to repeate it over and over.. (i think)
[16:42] <Captain_America2> it just continues to boot to windows xp
[16:42] <mintman> Captain_America2: Ur losing me make a cd-rw bootable disc and call this a day using Ubuntu Iso..
[16:42] <sipior> blaxbb: that's an amusing error. can you remove/purge the package, and try again?
[16:42] <Merwin> dr_willis, this is easy? :D
[16:43] <Dr_willis_> Merwin,  yes.
[16:43] <zykotick9> Trevor69420: depends on your FTP server, i believe proftpd has quota support
[16:43] <Trevor69420> vsftpd
[16:43] <Trevor69420> for me :-(
[16:43] <Captain_America2> it just doesnt work like that why cant you understand?
[16:43] <blaxbb> Can't remove --purge it, returns as not installed
[16:43] <Trevor69420> oh simple google search found the answer zykotick9
[16:43] <Trevor69420> lol
[16:43] <Trevor69420> nvm
[16:43] <Dr_willis_> Captain_America2,  so what have you done.. and what is the pc doing exactly.
[16:44] <Captain_America2> i have set the boot priority like this:
[16:44] <Mayank1> Hi I have installed ubuntu-desktop on Ubuntu Server. When I am trying to remotely connect to the server via xrdp(on server) and Terminal Server Client - I am not able to view the launcher. ,  I just see the top bar with the network options. However, if I directly login in the server machine I can see the launcher. What am I missing?
[16:44]  * zykotick9 hopes FTP will die soon
[16:45] <Trevor69420> dont dis on FTP
[16:45] <Captain_America2> 1st boot device: cd-rom device
[16:45] <MonkeyDust> die, maggots, die!
[16:45] <Trevor69420> it's a convenient tool
[16:45] <Captain_America2> 2nd boot device: Hardrive
[16:45]  * Dr_willis_ dis's on ftp. :)
[16:45] <Dr_willis_> whatever that means.
[16:45] <Captain_America2> 3rd boot device:removable drives
[16:46] <Captain_America2> 4th boot device: network boot
[16:46] <Captain_America2> and i disable quick boot mode
[16:46] <crf_> I fixed synaptic crashing by turning orca screen reader on and off. I don't want to have to do that everytime I login!
[16:47] <Dr_willis_> you need to run synaptic every time you login? :)
[16:47] <Captain_America2> and rebooted but nothing happened it ignored the cd
[16:47] <omnom> anyone that know why I cant use a socks(ssh) that i've setup? Here is a log: http://paste2.org/p/1929109
[16:49] <Captain_America2> do ineed to use command prompt to mount iso or something?
[16:49] <Captain_America2> zzzzzz
[16:49] <Dr_willis_> Captain_America2,  so the issue is its not booting the cd?
[16:50] <mintman> Captain_America2: Bios. Great boot order! Is your Cd rom drive a CD-rw if not then you do you plan on booting a ISO image?
[16:50] <Captain_America2> right
[16:50] <Dr_willis_> Captain_America2,   You did check the md5sum of the cd? how did you burn it to cd?
[16:50] <Dr_willis_> and the md5sum of the iso.
[16:50] <Captain_America2> it is a compact cd drive
[16:50] <omnom> anyone that know why I cant use a socks(ssh) that i've setup? log: http://paste2.org/p/1929109
[16:51] <Dr_willis_> Captain_America2,  it would be an old/rare pc these days that cant boot from a cd. :)    'compact compact disk drive' ? :)
[16:51] <Captain_America2> i burned it to disk using nero along time ago
[16:51] <Dr_willis_> Captain_America2,  so what version of ubuntu is this anyway?
[16:51] <Captain_America2> 11.10
[16:51] <Dr_willis_> has it ever booted on any other machines?
[16:51] <Captain_America2> i don't think 512 mb ram is enough
[16:52] <Captain_America2> yes
[16:52] <Dr_willis_> on a low ram system - a lubuntu, or xubuntu setup may work faster.
[16:53] <Captain_America2> it has booted on other machines
[16:54] <Dr_willis_> Captain_America2,  that sort of narrows it down to some issue with the hardware/bios settings and reading that disk.   You could try putting the iso on a usb flash and booting that way
[16:54] <mintman> Captain_America2: How many scratches does this cd have on it?
[16:54] <Captain_America2> none
[16:54] <Captain_America2> no scratches
[16:54] <Captain_America2> and itried usb but it didnt recognize it either
[16:55] <Dr_willis_> tried any other linux disrto cds ?
[16:55] <Captain_America2> it just ignored it aat boot prompt
[16:55] <Doxin> trying to install python-profiler creates some insane dependency issues, it expects me to remove ~100 packages, including apt, xorg, cinnamon and compiz. what gives?
[16:55] <Captain_America2> hey also my bios doen't dsupport f4 device boot
[16:55] <Captain_America2> unless i can install it
[16:55] <Dr_willis_> Doxin,  what command are you using? sounds like you got extra repos enabled also. :)
[16:56] <Dr_willis_> 'F4 device boot' meaning?
[16:56] <Doxin> Dr_willis: using synaptic, lemme check extra repos.
[16:56] <mintman> Captain_America2: what is the make and model of ur old machine see how I have put bsd on 386.
[16:56] <Dr_willis_> minix :) is always fun for old old old machines
[16:57] <Captain_America2> you know o the newer machines they have in bios setup enable f4 boot menu
[16:57] <VIPER-II> motherf*cking Ubuntu... ffs!!! ARGH!!!  Forgot that Ubuntu automagicaly puts the Top bar (File, Edit, View etc) at the top of the screen!!!    argh!!!
[16:57] <Doxin> Dr_willis_: where can i find enabled repos?
[16:57] <Dr_willis_> Captain_America2,  the key to select a boot menu - differs depening on the maker/bios/mb
[16:57] <Captain_America2> can i get tha for phoenix award bios setup utility?
[16:57] <bazhang> VIPER-II, no cursing here
[16:57] <Dr_willis_> Doxin,  synaptic has a gui i belive for it.
[16:57] <VIPER-II> bazhang: id idn't curse.  Only intented it.
[16:57] <Captain_America2> mintman it is G6-333c
[16:57] <Dr_willis_> Doxin,  or look in /etc/apt/sources*
[16:57] <yt189> VIPER-II: If you don't like the retarded Unity interface, you can always change to XFCE/KDE/something sane
[16:58] <bazhang> VIPER-II, no obfuscated swearing either.
[16:58] <Mayank1> Hi, I am using xrdp to remotely connect to my Ubuntu Server. I cannot see the launcher. I just see the top bar and the empty desktop. What am I missing?
[16:59] <VIPER-II> bazhang: ok... just had to take it out man... sorry....  Went to Youtube to see what it looks like and saw the guy clicking at the top of the screen.
[16:59] <VIPER-II> <--- Feeling pretty stoopid right now.
[16:59] <mintman> Got a simple question. I installed Cairo Dock, then resently decided to install XFCE and know every time I open a session of XFCE it loads Cario Dock can I stop it from loading every time I log in?
[16:59] <Doxin> Dr_willis_: there don't seem to be any repos activated there.
[16:59] <Captain_America2> what f key would it be for a Gateway G6-333c
[17:00] <Dr_willis_> Doxin,  i just use the addppa command line tools, or alter the files directly i rarely use synaptoc to manage them
[17:00] <Doxin> hmmm'
[17:00] <Captain_America2> the bios is manafactured by intel
[17:00] <Captain_America2> in the year of 1998
[17:00] <VIPER-II> yt189: it's ok. I just need to get used to it. Im a bit too spoiled by Uncle Bill Gates.
[17:00] <exiliob> anybody know how to rename the title on the toolbar of a .pdf file - toolbar title is different from filename and I have no idea how to chg.
[17:01] <Soul_Sample> VIPER-II: if you like windows, you should perhaps try with linux mint, their interface is a lot more similar to windows
[17:01] <mintman> Captain_America2: Gateway had a couple good yrs of production and know a big pile of junk..
[17:02] <Soul_Sample> VIPER-II: you don't have to do a reinstall, you can install cinnamon interface right into ubuntu
[17:02] <Pici> !ot | mintman
[17:02] <Captain_America2> what do you mean by "know?
[17:04] <sw0rdfish> how do i get hardware info like cpu info especially?
[17:04] <VIPER-II> Soul_Sample: hhehe it's ok man. I was just being stoooopid!  I kinda found that Ubuntu puts the top bar-menu all the way to the top of the screen.  Been banging my head in the wall for the last 5 minutes.
[17:04] <Pici> sw0rdfish: lscpu or cat /proc/cpuinfo
[17:04] <pestilence> sw0rdfish: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[17:04] <VIPER-II> so mneptok: u there?
[17:05] <mintman> Pici: Not to be mean,but that Gateway machine has some poorest motherboards and graphics card support added to its design I ever seen in yrs. :) Sorry not trying to be rude just getting him to understand that has to be the worst machine I have seen in yrs.
[17:05] <Soul_Sample> VIPER-II: it's okay once you get used to it, although some applications such as gimp don't play nice with it
[17:05] <Pici> mintman: I don't care anything about Gateway, your comments are off-topic for this support channel though.
[17:05] <marekw2143> hi, what are packages named lib*-cil for?
[17:05] <mintman> Pici: srry ops!
[17:05] <Captain_America_> hey who disconnected me and took my username?
[17:05] <marekw2143> I mean what does "cil" mean in that context
[17:06] <sw0rdfish> Pici, pestilence: it will state there if it is dual core cpu right?
[17:06] <user1_> hi, diff b/w 32 bit and 64 bit hardware architecure??
[17:06] <newer> can anyone tell me, i'm going to make my computer dual boot with ubuntu and i'm wondering should i dl the 64bit version since my win7 is 64bit or dosen't it matter?
[17:06] <Dr_willis_> newer,  if you got a 64bit cpu. may as well use the 64bit os.
[17:06] <FireStorms> Hey, anyone know how I can find path to PHP bin... it's not in /usr/bin/php
[17:06] <Pici> sw0rdfish: it might, or just look for the number of CPUs reported.
[17:06] <sw0rdfish> oh ko
[17:06] <sw0rdfish> ok
[17:06] <sipior> user1_: approximately 32 bits.
[17:06] <newer> oki thanks, was just wondering since on ubuntu.com they recommend 32 bit
[17:06] <Captain_America_> HEYYYY I WANT A ANSWER
[17:06] <sw0rdfish> there's only one reported
[17:06] <sw0rdfish> so yeah
[17:07] <sw0rdfish> thanks picasso
[17:07] <sw0rdfish> Pici*
[17:07] <Captain_America_> WHO
[17:07] <FloodBot1> sw0rdfish: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:07] <VIPER-II> anyone has that site of blacklists to avoid honeypots in torrents?
[17:07] <Captain_America_> DISCONNECTED
[17:07] <Captain_America_> ME
[17:07] <bmoez> hi, is there any tutoriel to learn how tweaking unity by any type of script
[17:07] <Pici> Captain_America_: knock it off. No one disconnected you.
[17:07] <bazhang> Captain_America_, join #freenode for that
[17:07] <theadmin> Captain_America_: Nobody, your internet connection is bad.
[17:07] <minixvbox> Captain_America_: stop it, maybe consider registering your nick
[17:07] <Dr_willis_> VIPER-II,  i belive theres several of them.   but even blacklisting is not  foolproof.
[17:07] <Dr_willis_> !register | Captain_America_
[17:08] <elijah> Why does Ubuntu ship with default of 60 for swappiness when it recommends the value to be at 10 for desktops?
[17:08] <Pici> FireStorms: you'll need the php5-cli package if you want to run php scripts not via cgi
[17:08] <Captain_America_> im on  but i was disconnected and when re entered captain america 2 was still on and then it just quit
[17:08] <FireStorms> Pici Oh......... that makes sense, thank you :D
[17:09] <Dr_willis_> Captain_America_,  id suggest a more original nick name perhaps.
[17:09] <bazhang> Captain_America_, /join #freenode
[17:09] <Pici> Captain_America_: Questions about the technicalities of IRC can be asked in #freenode, not here.
[17:09] <theadmin> Captain_America_: That happens all the time when your internet is of no good. This is also offtopic here.
[17:09] <Captain_America_> sorry
[17:09] <Captain_America_> where was i about the boot  menu?
[17:09] <mneptok> VIPER-II: see PM
[17:10] <h0ly_gh0st_rec0n> looks like a good spot to get support i'll check you guys out more later after work bye
[17:10] <bmoez> hi, can i tweak unity by any script languge
[17:10] <skinnymg1> caio, fellas
[17:11] <Captain_America_> please tell me how to enable grub or an alternative mwthod i have only 25 minutes to do this
[17:11] <Oer> bmoez, there is my-unity, it will be standard in next release
[17:11] <theadmin> Captain_America_: What do you mean, "enable grub"? Grub is the default bootloader.
[17:11] <greenit> hi, i have a problem with grub2 ... when i start ubuntu on my server, it selects an entry, but it doesn't start automatically.... this is rly annoying for a server-computer -.- how can i say grub again that it shall start the selected entry automatically?
[17:12] <Oer> bmoez, >>> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/unity-tweak-tool-myunity-gets-new-look-coming-to-ubuntu-software-centre/
[17:12] <Captain_America_> how    do   i    get
[17:12] <mintman> Captain_America_: Give me that model of Gateway machine I will look around the internet. I have a funny feeling that model had issues and it has nothing to do with Ubuntu! My cousin owned a Gateway machine back around time frame and had to call tech support to reinstall the OS which was windows
[17:12] <bazhang> !helpme | Captain_America_
[17:12] <zykotick9> greenit: check the GRUB_TIMEOUT= value in /etc/default/grub ("sudo update-grub" if you make any changes)
[17:13] <bmoez> Oer: i'm using ubuntu 12.04 and i have my-unity, but , if there any script languge for more advanced themes
[17:13] <minixvbox> bmoez: 12.04 issues in #ubuntu+1 please
[17:13] <JeffJassky> Hey, guys. Would it be about right to have a 16gb swap file if I have 8gb ram?
[17:14] <bmoez> ok
[17:14] <Captain_America_> MINTMAN: here is the model: G6-33c
[17:14] <sipior> JeffJassky: should be plenty.
[17:14] <zykotick9> JeffJassky: i'd say that's overkill myself
[17:14] <mintman> Captain_America_: Thanks let me dig around for a min...
[17:14] <JeffJassky> Yeah i thought it was a little big. I'm running an apache web server so for performance I feel like I'd like to nearly disable swapping..
[17:15] <zykotick9> JeffJassky: some swap is a good thing
[17:15] <sipior> JeffJassky: disabling swapping will decrease performance, not the other way around.
[17:15] <greenit> zykotick9, thx, it was set to 2 secs, i just made the update-grub command and now it works again :)
[17:15] <luvswati> how to delete old kernal ?
[17:16] <JeffJassky> sipior: won't it only decrease performance if all of my real memory is used? theoretically if I always had a few gigs of headroom in my real ram wouldn't swappiness decrease performance?
[17:16] <sipior> JeffJassky: no.
[17:16] <minixvbox> luvswati: open synaptic and uninstall them
[17:16] <JeffJassky> sipior: k.. I must not fully understand what swap is for then.. :)
[17:16] <zykotick9> luvswati: for terminal option, use "dpkg -l | grep linux-image" to list and "sudo apt-get purge foo" to remove
[17:16] <MonkeyDust> luvswati  you can use ubuntu-tweak
[17:17] <minixvbox> !info ubuntu-tweak
[17:17] <LjL> JeffJassky: swap is for taking *currently unneeded* bits out of your RAM, to make space for the needed bits.
[17:18] <JeffJassky> LjL: aha okay.. and is that different from "cached" memory?
[17:18] <MonkeyDust> luvswati  minixvbox http://ubuntu-tweak.com/
[17:18] <pythonsnake> Which one cpufreqd   or  cpufrequtils?
[17:18] <minixvbox> MonkeyDust: so a ppa?
[17:18] <MonkeyDust> minixvbox  no PPA
 thanks i had done it !
[17:18] <MonkeyDust> minixvbox  it's a .deb
[17:19] <LjL> JeffJassky: it's related. if you have free RAM, then you can use some of it as a cache for files, to access them faster. if you have swap enabled, you can make more space for the cache by swapping out currently unused programs
[17:19] <minixvbox> MonkeyDust: doesn't that imply its 3rd party and thus unsupported here?
[17:19] <zykotick9> minixvbox: yes
[17:20] <LjL> JeffJassky: the tradeoff by which the system decides how much to swap out programs in favor of file cache is called "swappiness", and is configurable.
[17:20] <minixvbox> zykotick9: thanks, i never understand why people look to unsupported 3rd party packages when they are uneeded
[17:20] <pythonsnake> (for cpufreq)
[17:20] <zykotick9> minixvbox: nor do i
[17:21] <MonkeyDust> minixvbox  because they are easy to use, for on thing
[17:21] <MonkeyDust> one*
[17:21] <minixvbox> MonkeyDust: easy is relative and in my opinion not as important as supported
[17:21] <JeffJassky> LjL: Thanks I appreciate the info. I think I understand. So one more question - if my swap isn't being used at all (0 bytes) would that probably mean swap is disabled OR could it just not be used yet (I restarted the server about 15 minutes ago. 7gb free memory still)
[17:22] <MonkeyDust> minixvbox  guess you're right, people don't come here for help and support
[17:22]  * minixvbox thinks i should shut up before i get offtopic :)
[17:22] <Zteam> Hi guys!
[17:23] <Lasivian> How can I remove a block of text from all files in a dorectory and it's subs?
[17:23] <pythonsnake> Hi
[17:23] <pythonsnake> Lasivian: code something
[17:23] <bazhang> pythonsnake, not helpful
[17:23] <pythonsnake> :)
[17:24] <Zteam> I need some help to complete my setup of Ubuntu 11.04 with envrypted LVM
[17:24] <f4stra> anyone know if the page source of the a google results page gives you the URLs of the ten results it gives you? ctrl+f then typing their addresses doesnt work
[17:24] <pythonsnake> maybe open them all with some sort of editor then replace all in all file
[17:24] <pythonsnake> like notepad++
[17:25] <theadmin> f4stra: They don't -- they give some crazy redirection links via Google itself
[17:25] <sipior> JeffJassky: if you're curious, have a look at the vmstat utility.
[17:25] <Zteam> I can get my system to boot but it wont accept my password
[17:25] <theadmin> !password | Zteam
[17:26] <theadmin> f4stra: For example, http://www.google.ru/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cts=1331054748792&ved=0CCQQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.org%2F&ei=oEhWT56KGYLS4QTI1pCvCg&usg=AFQjCNFbkYxzDIXuUwBwoB2QRwTWALaVrQ -- not just http://example.org
[17:26] <VIPER-II> mneptok: thanks man. U've helped me allot. I'll let u be now.   :)
[17:26] <majd> Hey #ubuntu! i'm trying to understand how curl works, and i've got this command: curl -u 'username:password' -H 'Content-Type: application/xml'  -d 'some_xml'  https://example.com/
[17:26] <majd> i understand that the -d option is for data, but usually data comes in key-value pairs, what's the key in my example?
[17:27] <Zteam> theadmin: nope i know my password and it works fine from the cd but not then I try to boot up my system
[17:28] <Zteam> theadmin: I'm trying to get my lvm password to work again
[17:29] <theadmin> Zteam: Ah, lvm, sorry, I don't know how to work that
[17:29] <Zteam> theadmin: :-)
[17:31] <Zteam> anybody has any ideas?
[17:33] <f4stra> theadmin whats that? how did you get that? how do i decipher the addresses from the page source?
[17:33] <alfredfreddyfred> hey, i am new to irc, am i connected now? can you hear me?
[17:34] <zykotick9> alfredfreddyfred: well, we can read you ;)
[17:34] <alfredfreddyfred> well thats pretty cool i guess:)
[17:36] <bobobobobob> question:  I want to run ubuntu as my main os on a macbook pro.  Can I then make a mac os x vm?
[17:37] <satyanash> bobobobobob, Probably.
[17:37] <bobobobobob> I saw here that it is possible https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro
[17:38] <bobobobobob> but I know making osx vm is a little tricky, but in this case I will be running on macbook hardware so it should be ok?  EULA?
[17:38] <zykotick9> bobobobobob: you might want to ask in #vbox if you can make Mac into a VM.  I kinda doubt it myself.
[17:38] <bobobobobob> zykotick9: okay, that is what I was thinking too
[17:38] <minixvbox> bobobobobob: i think you are allowed to virtualise osx as long as you are on osx hardware (check the license to be sure though)
[17:38] <Jordan_U> bobobobobob: It is not legal to run OSX under a Virtual Machine. At least it wasn't the last time I checked.
[17:39] <Xeneth_studying> bobobobobob, Jordan_U It is not legal to do anything with OSX besides what apple tells you to do.  :P
[17:40] <Dr_willis_> I bet somewhere in the fine print they say its not even legal to run it.... ever... :)
[17:41] <bennyp> can i install netbook remix with the 11.10 wubi installer?
[17:41] <Dr_willis_> Bennit,  the netbook remix is a dead project.
[17:42] <Dr_willis_> oops that was for bennyp
[17:42] <Dr_willis_> :)
[17:42] <bennyp> dr_willis: is there an alternative, or a package, or just vanilla 11.10
[17:42] <Dr_willis_> 11.10 installs unity, whichis what the netbook interface basically grew into.
[17:42] <bennyp> Dr_willis_: thanks, perfect
[17:43] <bennyp> it's for a non techie client anyways, and since i put unity on their desktop, this will be better for her
[17:43] <battlehands> I'd like to be able to access the files on my desktop from anywhere.  Though, online storage solutions are very expensive for the amount of data I would need to store.  I've been looking at buying a cheap server.  http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=DL360-XEON30-PB-R&cat=SVR  Is that a good option?  Could I install ubuntu server edition os on it?  How would I back up that server in case it
[17:43] <battlehands> crashed?
[17:43] <FloodBot1> battlehands: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:43] <battlehands> @FloodBot1 I'm not flooding.  That was my question.
[17:43] <Dr_willis_> be cheaper to get an online storage i bet. :)
[17:43] <Dr_willis_> if you just need storage.
[17:44] <Dr_willis_> but just about any pc thes4e days can work as a server and serve up files via ssh/sshfs/ or other ways.
[17:44] <battlehands> dr_willis I need to store about 300GB of data
[17:44] <zykotick9> battlehands: why not just setup SSH, then you can have remote access to your desktop from anywhere
[17:44] <Dr_willis_> battlehands,  i saw a site giving away 50gb for free last week. :)
[17:44] <Dr_willis_> 300gb is not that huge these days. :)
[17:45] <battlehands> zykotick9 My desktop has been crashing, and I don't want to need to access it and it be off.
[17:45] <Dr_willis_> theres $30-60 NAS box's that can share a usb hd. and share it over the internet also.
[17:45] <Dr_willis_> slow.. but cheap. :)
[17:45] <sipior> battlehands: might be interesting: http://www.crashplan.com/
[17:45] <celthunder> Dr_willis_: you can do that for free
[17:45] <Dr_willis_> celthunder,  if you got the hardware allready.
[17:46] <Xeneth_studying> battlehands, I would just buy a used computer off of craigslist.  Not only will it more likely have built in drivers then a new PC, but cheaper.  for software, SSH is most secure option, which is easy with Ubuntu server.
[17:46] <Dr_willis_> but its handy to have a NAS the size of  deck of cards that can do all the work with no hassles.
[17:46] <Dr_willis_> bbl
[17:47] <the^user> http://imagebin.org/202228 i have a problem i vant delet map because of see image
[17:47] <battlehands> Any opinions on the server that I linked?
[17:47] <elijah> Dr_willis_: You said you just use ssh for file transfers?
[17:48] <celthunder> elijah: scp works great
[17:49] <elijah> celthunder: I just want to transfer files from one local computer to another, is that an easy way? I was hoping to do it through Nautilus but it seems harder than it is worth, no?
[17:49] <bobobobobob> #vbox says it is possible, but since there are no guest additions for mac osx guest, it is not ideal user experience
[17:49] <pros977> elijah scp localfile username@remotecomputer:/directory/
[17:50] <Church> elijah: add -r switch to above if you copy directory and want to copy it recursively
[17:50] <ArielMT> elijah: the computer you're typing commands at is the local computer, and the other is the remote computer.  it doesn't matter if they're sitting on the same desk or on opposite sides of the world
[17:50] <celthunder> elijah: how is scp hard
[17:51] <elijah> celthunder: I meant using Nautilus to share files, scp seems easier
[17:51] <flashissue> hello
[17:51] <flashissue> how to check which live version of CD running ubuntu i have? i am very very new to all this
[17:52] <Church> flashissue: on terminal type cat /etc/*elease*
[17:52] <zykotick9> flashissue: from terminal "lsb_release -a" might work (not 100% sure on livecd)
[17:52] <ArielMT> does nautilus still have "connect to server" in the file menu?  (it does in 10.04 LTS, but idk about current)
[17:52] <flashissue> thaks church, btw i cant seem to get youtube working, could u help me plz ?
[17:52] <battlehands> Does anyone know how to backup an internal hd with another internal hd?
[17:53] <monser> hello
[17:54] <Ghostly> i think i messed up, after an manual install of JRE (java) and uninstalling it the launcher icons does not disappear, any ideas what i can do?
[17:54] <rexor> battlehands, try dd
[17:54] <flashissue> nope both commands didnt work, but i just want to get youtube and flash videos started =]
[17:54] <monser> do you know where I can get this file http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mountall/mountall_2.11_amd64.deb
[17:55] <monser> I need it to avoid mountall bug when upgrading ubuntu - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/559582
[17:55] <flashissue> i tried downloading some stuff but it is not there on website .. install the ubuntu-restricted-extras .. this one i want .. i think ?
[17:56] <ArielMT> elijah: i don't know if nautilus after ubuntu 10.04 has it or not, but try nautilus -> file -> connect to server -> fill in ssh connection options.  nautilus should let you use the remote file system like any folder and use ssh/scp in the background to do what you want
[17:56] <slackjaw> Hi, I need some help in submitting patches to linux kernel-janitor group.

[17:59] <slackjaw> i might be able to help you in thatn Smeten
[17:59] <stix_> Hi guys. I have an old 7.04 - is there an old mirror available I can use as apt-source?
[17:59] <celthunder> Smeten: what are you comping whats it programmed in etc
[17:59] <Fyodorovna> monser, don't just change the sources list look at the end of life wiki.
[17:59] <maury> my keyboard goes crazy writing wierd characters and dmesg says "keyboard: can't emulate rawmode for keycode 240
[17:59] <slackjaw> why you not move to latest and greatest
[17:59] <maury> does anyone know how to solve this?
[18:00] <tajys> Why is my updater failing to download packages? O.o
[18:00] <celthunder> maury: remap  your key?
[18:00] <Fyodorovna> stix_, 7.04 is way past end of life, you will need to do a fresh install really.
[18:01] <maury> how?
[18:01] <phretor> I've set the hard/soft nofile limits for my user into /etc/security/limits.conf but ulimits -n keeps displaying the default value (1024): Any clue?
[18:01] <Smeten> celthunder: it was w3m and its saying then i compiling that c++ compiler is not working
[18:01] <celthunder> Smeten: do you have g++
[18:01] <Oer> stix_, check https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archivemirrors
[18:01] <Smeten> yes, i think so
[18:02] <phretor> it seems that no-one has an answer to my question: I've asked on several channels.
[18:02] <celthunder> phretor: what was the question sorrf
[18:02] <flashissue> Ok, what can i download right now which will allow me to SEE YOUTUBE ? i am booted through some live CD, and it cant show flash =[
[18:02] <phretor> celthunder: I've set the hard/soft nofile limits for my user into /etc/security/limits.conf but ulimits -n keeps displaying the default value (1024): Any clue?
[18:03] <flashissue> i want to see flash videos =[
[18:03] <Fyodorovna> phretor, you using ubuntu
[18:03] <celthunder> flashissue: flashplugin
[18:03] <phretor> Fyodorovna: it's actually debian
[18:04] <celthunder> flashissue: or whatever ubuntu calls it
[18:04] <flashissue> celcelthunder where to get it ? i am too new to all this .. i booted here because my windows gave up =(
[18:04] <stix_> Oer: feisty doesn't seem to be hosted on any of them
[18:04] <Fyodorovna> phretor, not supported here. :)
[18:04] <phretor> ok thanks
[18:04] <xibalba> hey folks, what's a good utility to test my disk i/o?  I used bonnie but it just spit out too much information for me
[18:05] <dlentz> flashissue, have you installed flash?
[18:05] <maury> celthunder, ow can i make it so that i does nothing
[18:05] <maury>  for key 240
[18:05] <Fyodorovna> stix_, well your in a dead end loop then.
[18:05] <flashissue> dlentz: i tried, but its not dumb friendly =[
[18:05] <zykotick9> xibalba: give it a try and see, i'd say yes myself
[18:05] <xibalba> thanks trying it now
[18:06] <flashissue> dle tell me step by step ? =] ?
[18:06] <monser> what they say is just chaning the sources
[18:06] <monser> that's all
[18:06] <Fyodorovna> stix_, eol is not even supported here other then to point you towards getting a release.
[18:06] <dlentz> there's a firefox add-on called flashaid. that's "dumb-proof"
[18:06] <stix_> can I at least find an openssh-server .deb for my 7.04?
[18:06] <xibalba> do you think dd is a good benchmark? something like the command :  sudo apt-get install iotop
[18:06] <monser> those guys from launchpad found workaround
[18:06] <xibalba>  dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/file.out bs=10k count=100k
[18:06] <monser> however taht mountall is no longer available to download from that location
[18:06] <celthunder> maury: xmodmap
[18:07] <flashissue> dlentz ok .. i am to search that under synaptic package manager ?
[18:07] <monser> http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/m/mountall/mountall_2.11_amd64.deb
[18:07] <Fyodorovna> monser, you have a running karmic right?
[18:07] <flashissue> dlentz: nope, no such thing in synaptic package manager
[18:07] <monser> yes
[18:07] <monser> 9.10
[18:07] <Fyodorovna> monser, then look at the eol link it is straight forward.
[18:07] <maury> yeah but can i make it so that it does nothing
[18:08] <xibalba> zykotick9 , is this for monitoring disk specs or for bench marking htem?
[18:08] <celthunder> maury: yes
[18:08] <zykotick9> xibalba: monitoring
[18:08] <maury> how
[18:08] <xibalba> ahh, i needed something to benchmark them
[18:08] <monser> that  link have no info about karmic
[18:08] <flashissue> i downloaded some stuff from adobe site, it doesnt work though
[18:08] <maury> they explain how to make it do stuff
[18:08] <xibalba> this looks slow as snot : bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 38.0232 s, 27.6 MB/s
[18:08] <maury> i just want it to do nothing
[18:08] <zykotick9> xibalba: sorry you did say "test" origionally
[18:08] <xibalba> n/p, miscommunications
[18:08] <okum> Anyone know how to fix this error?

[18:10] <webusnix> hi! how can i complete remove all java version from my ubuntu
[18:10] <webusnix> ?

[18:10] <okum> any know how to fix there error? http://paste.ubuntu.com/871836/
[18:11] <Fyodorovna> monser, read closer it does notice this line. The first part will cover upgrading from 8.10 to 9.04 and up (eventually to 10.04). We will do the following upgrades, 8.10 to 9.04 to 9.10 to 10.04 LTS.

[18:16] <celthunder> zykotick9: he put his full issue in here earlier somone flagged him for spamming i think that was his solution
[18:16] <okum> ActionParsnip: no.
[18:16] <maury> should i say keycode 240 = clear ?
[18:16] <celthunder> webusnix: so remove both

[18:17] <minixvbox> !attitude | okum
[18:17] <celthunder> webusnix: and what do you mean it auto installs is it a dependancy for somethiny you have installed.  also there is a force flag

[18:20] <celthunder> ActionParsnip: uhm what is that supposed to do?  mv a file that? doesnt do anything? to home? j/w
[18:21] <celthunder> webusnix: check if its a dependancy
[18:21] <minixvbox> Mech0z: what app is that? and do you trust it to write there?
[18:21] <monser> change the permissions of the folder
[18:21] <Guest36909> j
[18:21] <monser> chmod 777 folder
[18:21] <monser> and anyone anything can write in it
[18:21] <minixvbox> monser: that is never a good idea
[18:21] <zykotick9> minixvbox: +1
[18:21] <Mech0z> minixvbox yes its a download app
[18:21] <minixvbox> monser: don't offer that advice here please
[18:22] <Mech0z> minixvbox it gets its own folders
[18:22] <monser> do you know how to fix that error?
[18:22] <Guest36909> try

[18:22] <Mech0z> but minixvbox http://sabnzbd.org/ its very known, but I just dont know how to give it write access to that folder
[18:23] <monser> it says that it can not install all dependancies
[18:23] <Fyodorovna> Guest36909, running in root on the irc is not a smart move.
[18:23] <monser> but i do nto see what
[18:23] <monser> how to see the error
[18:23] <Broc93> I've got a big question: I've tried to install Xubuntu on a PC, but I got an error at the end of the installation, saying that there was a problem with the disc, or sort of. I've changed hard drive and CD drive. Now, after some minutes of installation, I get this screen: http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/8461/06032012261.jpg

[18:27] <celthunder> Fyodorovna: huh
[18:27] <monser> same error
[18:27] <Fyodorovna> maybe kernel panic usually is a hard restart celthunder
[18:27] <Mech0z> minixvbox isnt it part of official repo when I use apt-get to install it?
[18:27] <monser> it does not want to install it
[18:27] <celthunder> Broc93: it happens when your kernel crashes

[18:30] <celthunder> binger: whats it say whet you try to connect
[18:30] <monser> maybe it is time for the magical restart
[18:30] <monser> to see if it will boot at all
[18:30] <monser> wish me luck
[18:30] <Broc93> celthunder: a different kernel: what do you mean?
[18:30] <celthunder> binger: any results in ip addr
[18:30] <binger> it tries to connect but then fails and goes offline
[18:31] <celthunder> Broc93: i mean go to kertel. org and compile a different kernel or try changing your ram
[18:31] <celthunder> Broc93: kernel.org sorry
[18:31] <zykotick9> celthunder: for an install ISO that might be difficult ;)

[18:33] <celthunder> binger: ok
[18:34] <celthunder> binger: try static addressing and test if you can ping the gateway
[18:34] <Broc93> celthunder: so, the problem is with the RAM... sob
[18:34] <Broc93> thank you anyway :D
[18:34] <celthunder> Broc93: not necessarilly and i could be wrong
[18:34] <wylde> Broc93: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM
[18:35] <celthunder> Broc93: im just a noob dont take my guesses as final
[18:35] <binger> well i can't find the page I was accessing before but what happens is that it tries "connecting" for 30 secs or so and then fails and goes offline
[18:35] <wylde> Broc93: it could be a problem with your iso
[18:35] <marcos_amaris> Hello, I am having problems to install the WFDB lybrary in ubuntu 11.10, HELP
[18:35] <binger> it WAS working ok enough for me to download 25gb of a repository yesterday
[18:35] <BoxyK2> ActionParsnip: Sorry for being away so long. May I ask you again regarding my battery issue? The pc is a Lenovo ThinkPad T520.
[18:35] <binger> can i reinstall 11.10 on top of the existing install?
[18:35] <celthunder> binger: try to connect from terminal see what it fails with check ip route and ip addr etc
[18:36] <celthunder> binger: you can but its not much of a solution.
[18:37] <celthunder> marcos_amaris: whats the error
[18:37] <binger> ok will try that and get back to you.  Actually I'd uninstall/reinstall it except that i don't want to lose the 25gb that i downloaded yesterday.  How do i copy it to an external drive?  The built in file manager only gives me the option of "home" and "desktop" within the ubuntu partition
[18:38] <celthunder> binger: mount the external drive and then cp it
[18:38] <binger> within terminal is the command simply "check ip route" or is it something else?
[18:39] <rexor> binger, you mean routing table ?
[18:39] <binger> how to mount?  I double clicked on the drive (let's say drive f:) and it opens.  What means "cp it"? sorry
[18:40] <celthunder> binger:dhclient eth0; ip route;ip addr should work for wired or it will show you what went wrong hopefully
[18:40] <binger> I will copy and print :)
[18:41] <celthunder> binger: mount /dev/drivepartition mountpoint then cp -r source destinaition
[18:41] <mintman> Dr_willis ran down Captian America setup... he Gateway G6-333 came with a 333 Mhz Intel Pentium II or Celeron processor (with a Mendocino core). It came with 64 MB of PC133 SD-RAM. and supports a maximum of 512 MB So anyone runs into Captain America the system will only run with Lubuntu or Xbuntu at best
[18:41] <dragonkeeper> how do i retrieve a file from a repository,   not like when you add the repo and sudo apt-get install program .    i want to just retrieve the deb file  .....
[18:41] <LucidGuy> Anyone familiar with the "stress" command/tool?
[18:41] <celthunder> dragonkeeper: man apt
[18:41] <celthunder> LucidGuy: no nobody on the planet has a clue
[18:41] <Gage_> Apt-get still doesn't work
[18:42] <celthunder> Gage_: whats it fail with
[18:42] <Gage_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/871896/
[18:43] <mintman> No way Captian America can run a full ubuntu setup. also the compact drive is not orginal drive and system at one point ran a price range of 1400 to 2093 dallors.
[18:43] <celthunder> Gage_: are you online wehn you did that apt-get update
[18:43] <Gage_> Yes
[18:43] <Gage_> just a few seconds ago
[18:44] <celthunder> Gage_: try a different repo server
[18:44] <binger> thanks cellthunder.  will give it a go.
[18:44] <ribhoo> Gage_: ping google.com see if theres a network
[18:44] <Gage_> yep
[18:45] <ribhoo> Gage_: try sudo apt-get update
[18:45] <Gage_> wait, how do I stop ping?
[18:45] <ribhoo> ctrl_c
[18:45] <LucidGuy> celthunder, yes..  Best to go with Puppy Linux or a smaller distro. Ubuntu may not be ideal for the hardware is at best minimal and may very sluggish on Lubuntu at best.. Puppy Linux, Salx, Salitz, Finnix, Damm Small linux, CD linux will be a better choice for the limited resources
[18:47] <DynamicFail> I currently have a bash script that uses net-snmp along with standard linux calls (sed/awk to simple things like ls) and now someone wants a version to run natively on windows... what is the best process to get it to work on windows from linux?
[18:47] <pythonsnake> or both?
[18:47] <Gage_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/871905/
[18:47] <celthunder> mintman: what who cares
[18:48] <pythonsnake> thanks
[18:48] <mintman> celthunder: that was to much.
[18:49] <vkandy> guys i am trying to install trietool. i got libdatrie1-bin but i can;'t seem to run trietool.
[18:49] <LjL> mintman: do you have an actual Ubuntu support question?
[18:49] <vkandy> anyone used tritool?
[18:49] <celthunder> DynamicFail: perl/python/c
[18:49] <Gage_> So yeah, what happen?
[18:49] <minixvbox> LjL: i think he was helping a use who has long since left
[18:49] <mintman> LjL: Already ran my past u and got no help.  So I will read and figure it out for my self
[18:50] <celthunder> DynamicFail: whatever you are good at the most direct would be qemu
[18:50] <celthunder> minixvbox: ah that makes sense i thought he was talking to himself lol
[18:51] <Gage_> So does anyone have any ideas as to why apt-get isn't working?
[18:51] <mintman> celthunder: don't worry I can move along
[18:51] <celthunder> Gage_: id check your repo is working or try the fix missing it mentioned
[18:51] <celthunder> Gage_: check your repo list and connection to it
[18:51] <BoxyK2> I see a warning message that the capacity of my battery (not the current charge level) is getting low. Does anybody know how to configure the threshold for this warning?
[18:52] <BoxyK2> Does anyone know?
[18:52] <Gage_> same thing as my previous pastebin with --fix-missing
[18:52] <Gage_> how does I check repo list?
[18:52] <celthunder> BoxyK2: what app is giving the warning
[18:52] <celthunder> Gage_: /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:52] <BoxyK2> celthunder: Unity
[18:52] <BoxyK2> I mean, there's a notification shown when booting
[18:53] <waxstone>  Gage_: /etc/apt/sources.list.d for PPA's
[18:53] <celthunder> BoxyK2: try acpitool?
[18:53] <Gage_> so what should be in sources.list?
[18:53] <Gage_> PPA's?
[18:53] <BoxyK2> acpitool shows the current max capacity warning, I think.
[18:53] <celthunder> Gage_: the servers you connect to for apps.  make sure you can connect to them
[18:53] <waxstone> Personal Package Archives
[18:54] <BoxyK2> But I don't think that there's the threshold from when on the warning is shown in Unity.
[18:54] <celthunder> BoxyK2: sorry not sure then
[18:54] <BoxyK2> thank you!
[18:54] <parapan> I have a problem with dd command opening dev/sdb1 permission denied ....how can I overcome this ?
[18:54] <celthunder> parapan: sudo
[18:54] <sta7ic> parapan: sudo
[18:54] <Gage_> How?
[18:54] <Gage_> ._.
[18:55] <parapan> celthunder: sta7ic : sudo what ?
[18:55] <celthunder> Gage_: ping them grab a file you know is on the server do a traceroute anything that tests it

[18:55] <xibalba> hey folks, is it possible to use tshark to capture data over an interval of time and rotate files? say i want to capture 60 minutes of data with a ring buffer of 5 files. i can see how to do this in tcpdump, but was wondering if its possible in tshark
[18:56] <parapan> celthunder: I used the command with sudo ..doesn't work ....I've made sudo chmod 777 /dev/sdb1 ...doesn't work
[18:56] <xibalba> sometihng similiar to the -G fflag in tcpdump
[18:56] <Gage_> gage@derptop:~$ ping http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ping: unknown host http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gage@derptop:~$ ping archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu ping: unknown host archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gage@derptop:~$
[18:56] <Gage_> So no.
[18:56] <minixvbox> parapan: 777 is never a good idea
[18:56] <celthunder> Gage_: does your dns work
[18:57] <celthunder> yabai: and you cant ping that whole thing what the.......
[18:57] <Gage_> Well, I can browse the web just fine
[18:57] <Gage_> so I'm assuming yes
[18:57] <parapan> minixvbox: I try to install freenas OS on a USB stick ...but I cannot write the OS to the stick ...permission denied
[18:57] <celthunder> Gage_: ping the server not the whole url
[18:57] <Gage_> gage@derptop:~$ ping archive.ubuntu.com PING archive.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from zaurac.canonical.com (<IP_ADDRESS>): icmp_req=1 ttl=39 time=127 ms

[18:57] <Gage_> Yes?
[18:57] <minixvbox> parapan: how is this related to ubuntu?
[18:58] <celthunder> Gage_: yeah ok does the server have the files you were trying to grab on it
[18:58] <Gage_> don't know
[18:58] <Gage_> I was trying to get xchat
[18:58] <parapan> minixvbox: lol man .....ubuntu is the OS under I try to write an USB stick and it does not work ? am I entitled now to ask for help in this channel ?
[18:58] <Gage_> but I can't get anything else.
[18:59] <celthunder> parapan: unmunt sdb1 then try
[18:59] <Praxi> hmm can't get visio 2010 to install into wine.  Looking at the appdb on winehq.com they all said they had to do things, but not really what :)
[18:59] <hobbelt> Is it possible to instantly ban an attacker if he uses a bad username on SSH? Like if user = ROOT -> instant ban?
[18:59] <celthunder> hobbelt: yes fail2ban

[19:00] <gustavoferreira> ackats arrive and my program isn't able to "detect" them, I already tried some sort of thread, but it still miss a few, anyone here can help? Any implementation type you may know?
[19:00] <parapan> celthunder: doesn't work also
[19:00] <minixvbox> parapan: if you are dd'ing the iso shouldn't that be to sdb (the stick) not sdb1 (the first partition on the stick)?
[19:01] <parapan> minixvbox: tried with sdb and sdb1 ...not working .....
[19:01] <celthunder> hobbelt: hmm always sort of assumed there was one
[19:01] <Praxi> trying playonlinux too, but it just seems to hang also
[19:01] <minixvbox> parapan: you sure the stick is sdb?
[19:01] <celthunder> parapan: cfdisk /dev/sdb
[19:01] <celthunder> parapan: does it fail
[19:01] <hobbelt> celthunder there is a REGEX feature which does that, but dont think you can set it separately, just dont want to ban sb who mistypes password once
[19:02] <parapan> celthunder: unable to get permission ...permission denied
[19:02] <Promethes> application menu is displayed with 1 second delay in gnome fallback session. Anyone knows how to fix this super annoying issue?
[19:03] <celthunder> parapan: uhm selinux issue?
[19:03] <minixvbox> parapan: what does uname -a say?
[19:03] <Gage_> soo
[19:03] <Promethes> for example nautilus menu, terminal menu and many many others, this is really annoying
[19:03] <mintman> parapan: try yumi, unetbootin or do a manual iso to usb stick
[19:03] <celthunder> Gage_: were you able to grab the files off the server without apt
[19:03] <Broc93> wylde: I've used that ISO on 4 computers before that one, and the other systems works perfectly. Maybe the CD got damaged, but I think it's quite difficult
[19:03] <Gage_> What do you mean?
[19:04] <celthunder> Gage_: not using apt try to download the files
[19:04] <celthunder> Gage_: use axel or wget or uzbl or something
[19:05] <celthunder> Broc93: any luck with a different kernel
[19:05] <Fyodorovna> Broc93, have you run a memeory test?
[19:05] <Fyodorovna> memory*
[19:06] <parapan> minixvbox: uname gives me the user on my machine, linux version and so on ....
[19:06] <minixvbox> parapan: can i see it please?
[19:06] <Broc93> Fyodorovna: no, didn't have enough time today. will surely try tomorrow
[19:06] <dommer> Why is it that my webcam won't work in Ubuntu?
[19:06] <dommer> Is there a package I need?
[19:07] <parapan> minixvbox: Linux xxxxx-laptop 2.6.32-38-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jan 4 11:13:04 UTC 2012 i686 GNU/Linux
[19:07] <Fyodorovna> dommer, looked on the web with the model and ubuntu?
[19:08] <Gage_> I don't know how to get the files without using apt. Just tell me what to do, I'm a n00b.
[19:08] <dommer> I thought logitech should work in it.  :|
[19:08] <mrgreenfur> Hi Ya'll. I'm running a VPS that's still on 8.04 LTS. Should I upgrade the distro or is it not really worth it?
[19:08] <SinnerNyx> I have a ubuntu VM i'm using as an ssh server, which I'm also tunneling my dev http server through for development and testing. I'd like to make it so that I can forward certain requests to another machine on the same network (the VM's host machine in fact). My understanding is I need to make my ubuntu box into a proxy server. is this correct?
[19:09] <minixvbox> parapan: while unrelated to your dd problem, there is an update to the kernel in lucid
[19:09] <Broc93> Fyodorovna: if there's no prolem with the RAM, what should I do?
[19:09] <parapan> minixvbox: and you're suggesting first upgrade and then try again ???
[19:09] <Fyodorovna> Broc93, not sure really, I just saw a suggestion to check the ram.
[19:10] <minixvbox> parapan: i find its always best to run the latest updates
[19:10] <celthunder> Fyodorovna: it was mine i think
[19:10] <celthunder> Fyodorovna: not sure what else would cause page errors
[19:10] <jenders> What is the difference between the lines, ... lucid and ... lucid-updates in /etc/apt/sources.list
[19:10] <Broc93> Fyodorovna: OK. So I'll make another CD with the ISO (just to be sure) and run a memory test, tomorrow. Thank you a lot
[19:10] <minixvbox> parapan: i can't see how the dd isue is related but worth updating anyway
[19:11] <parapan> minixvbox: still dd doesn't supposed to be affected by this .....it's a permission issue nothing more .....
[19:11] <jrib> !repos | jenders
[19:11] <Raymond__> from the terminal how do i turn on the wireless card, BCM4306
[19:11] <jrib> jenders: one is for the "lucid" repository and the other is for "lucid-updates"
[19:11] <minixvbox> parapan: yes, thats what i was saying, but just informing you that your current kernel has an update
[19:12] <parapan> minixvbox: k man , thanks for the effort ...
[19:12] <celthunder> Raymond__: modprobe b43 or whatever ip addr wlan0 up or something like that
[19:12] <bennyp> Hey there. I'm trying to install on a toshiba network, and at partitioning, I get an input/outpur error on dev/sda
[19:12] <bennyp> what could the problem be? corrupt flash?
[19:12] <daswort> hi. Where can i change ctrl+alt+Fx ? Thats X.org related or isn't?
[19:12] <celthunder> bennyp: sda is usually your hard drive
[19:13] <celthunder> daswort: to what
[19:13] <minixvbox> !tty | daswort
[19:13] <bennyp> celthunder: right. I want to install to the hard drive
[19:13] <theadmin> daswort: It's not. Normally it's configured in /etc/inittab, but I have no idea how it's done with Upstart
[19:13] <Gage_> I feel dumb. Could someone (in simple words) help me get apt working?
[19:13] <bennyp> sorry for not pecifying, but i'm installing from USB
[19:13] <celthunder> Gage_: did the test work
[19:14] <Gage_> See, I didn't know how to do what you were telling me to do.
[19:14] <celthunder> bennyp: does your hdd work properly
[19:14] <Fyodorovna> bennyp, can you open gparted, take a screenshot and imagebin it.
[19:15] <bennyp> celthunder, Fyodorovna i'm concerned the flash is corrupted. gparted doesn't list /dev/sda, and the filebrowser doesn't notice the old windows partition (sda)
[19:15] <bennyp> i can't mount /dev/sda either
[19:15] <celthunder> bennyp: you dont mount sda you mount the partitions
[19:16] <celthunder> bennyp: do you have a weird hdd setup or raid some odd scsi setup etc
[19:16] <bennyp> celthunder: sorry it's been awhile. I have /dev/sda, sda1, sda2 and sda3
[19:16] <bennyp> celthunder: it's a toshiba netbook that hadwindows 7 installed on it. could have been that the win 7 setup mucked around with things
[19:16] <celthunder> bennyp: then cfdisk /dev/sda what does it say or try fdisk
[19:17] <jenders> jrib: so if I remove lucid-updates I will never move past the release I've installed from?
[19:17] <bennyp> cfdisk /dev/sda: FATAL ERROR  cannot open disk drive
[19:17] <celthunder> bennyp: hmm
[19:18] <jrib> jenders: whether or not you remove it, you will never end up on a different release unless you tell ubuntu you want to upgrade your release.  lucid-updates provides updates to fix software issues
[19:18] <bennyp> celthunder: fdisk -l /dev/sda: cannot open /dev/sda
[19:18] <celthunder> bennyp: sec
[19:18] <daswort> okay. But i want to change the keystroke combo.
[19:19] <minixvbox> daswort: i don't think you can
[19:19] <celthunder> bennyp: are you root when running those
[19:20] <celthunder> minixvbox: could he remap his keys?
[19:20] <minixvbox> celthunder: ctrl alt and F* keys?
[19:20] <bennyp> celthunder: i'm running them off the iso
[19:20] <bennyp> i'll try sudo
[19:21] <celthunder> minixvbox: just the f* ones the ctrl alt are kind of needed as is
[19:21] <magpii> hi. I am having a major issue while trying to install ubuntu 11.10 off a usb drive. It keeps telling me part way through that my usb drive may be faulty....its brand new bought today to replace another that was having the same issue while installing
[19:21] <bennyp> celthunder sudo cfdisk /dev/sda returns fatal error, sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda returns nothing
[19:21] <celthunder> magpii: md5 the iso used?
[19:22] <magpii> the iso was downloaded from the ubuntu webpage, gimme a sec to post link
[19:23] <santoshfamily> how to copy folder to /usr/share/themes ?
[19:23] <celthunder> santoshfamily: cp
[19:23] <calico> I am confused, could some please explain what a Rolling distribution is an is it any different from Ubuntu?
[19:23] <jack> santoshfamily: sudo cp -R
[19:23] <celthunder> magpii: md5 it to make sure it matches
[19:23] <magpii> the iso was downloaded from here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[19:23] <Fyodorovna> !md5sum | magpii
[19:24] <magpii> how do i md5 it?
[19:24] <Fyodorovna> magpii, ^^^
[19:24] <santoshfamily> what is -R ?
[19:24] <celthunder> calico: you never reinstall they update as it comes out im in arch which in an example
[19:24] <celthunder> santoshfamily: recursive
[19:24] <gareth_> hey guys if I wanted some help with permissions/group settings for qjackctl on 12.04 where should I go?
[19:25] <minixvbox> calico: rolling is when you install and you never need to install again, it is continually updated (like gentoo or arch), ubuntu has 6 months releases so isn't rolling
[19:25] <magpii> I have downloaded the 11.10 64/32 bit as well as the 10.04 32/64 bit and still having the same issue
[19:25] <celthunder> calico: basically the release rolls along you never have a version number etc your always current
[19:25] <santoshfamily> pls explain by giving a example ?
[19:25] <calico> celthunder: so what do you mean, if I install Ubuntu that mean''s that I'll have to REinstall in 6 months??
[19:25] <celthunder> calico: something like that or install over your previous one
[19:25] <minixvbox> calico: yes, or upgrade to the next release
[19:26] <gareth_> ah no worries, I should read the channel title in future :D
[19:26] <calico> minixvbox: upgrade just from the os, with the updates?
[19:26] <minixvbox> calico: with a rolling distro there is no upgrading to the next release, you are effectively running the latest by simply being up-to-date
[19:27] <celthunder> santoshfamily: cp -r /source $HOME copies the directory /source to my home dir
[19:27] <SinnerNyx> is there a way to forward traffic to another machine based on port and the hostname used in the request?
[19:27] <celthunder> santoshfamily: and everything in it
[19:27] <celthunder> SinnerNyx: probably
[19:27] <calico> k tnx
[19:27] <celthunder> calico: yes basically
[19:27] <santoshfamily> thanks i am going to try it ?
[19:27] <bennyp> celthunder: check this out pastebin.com/2zYPSKjE
[19:28] <SinnerNyx> celthunder: where would I start? can it be done with IPtables?
[19:29] <celthunder> bennyp: cant help you from there sorry
[19:29] <bennyp> celthunder: thanks a mint! have a great day
[19:30] <celthunder> you too hopefully someone else has an idea
[19:32] <daswort> thanks for helping, i try it another way…
[19:33] <Fyodorovna> bennyp, how about a imagebin of gparted.
[19:33] <ericluwolf> Hello.
[19:34] <celthunder> Fyodorovna: i think he said sda didnt show up
[19:34] <bennyp> Fyodorovna: well, i can tell you that sda didn't even show up
[19:34] <celthunder> ericluwolf: hi
[19:34] <ericluwolf> I'm making an Ubuntu derivitive
[19:34] <ericluwolf> Sharing the love.
[19:34] <Fyodorovna> bennyp, ah did you look in the disk utility?
[19:35] <celthunder> ericluwolf: thats nice
[19:35] <Fyodorovna> bennyp, I recognize the fdisk did not see it a swell
[19:35] <ericluwolf> How can I get started working with the derivative team?
[19:36] <bennyp> Fyodorovna: correct
[19:36] <ericluwolf> Bennyp can you repeat your problem?
[19:36] <pythonsnake> I installed cpufreqd but I don't have acpi-cpufreq is that normal?
[19:36] <minixvbox> ericluwolf: what? if you are making a derivative that is your responsibility
[19:36] <bennyp> and when i try to boot into the old windows install (safe mode or normal) it hangs
[19:36] <jpmnr7> como se usa isto?
[19:36] <celthunder> bennyp: he cant access sda without fatal errers even as root
[19:36] <bennyp> ericluwolf: trying to install on a toshiba netbook (nb205)
[19:36] <theadmin> ericluwolf: There is no such thing. The official Ubuntu derivatives are Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Edubuntu and Ubuntu Studio. Any other derivatives are not supported and will never be
[19:36] <martian> Does unity have a 'run' prompt like the alt-f2 in gnome2?
[19:37] <theadmin> martian: Yes, it's the same way (alt-f2) :P
[19:37] <martian> theadmin: then the keyboard must be messed up on this laptop ;)
[19:37] <ericluwolf> I know. But there is a way on the ubuntu wiki to work with them for hardware and security support. Development is all o n me tho
[19:37] <bennyp> can you advise on ssd diagnostic tools?

[19:37] <bennyp> preferably in software manager
[19:38] <ericluwolf> Sata I presume
[19:38] <theadmin> martian: Possible, hm.
[19:38] <martian> theadmin: oh, silly dell; had to hit clt-fn-f2 otherwise it was turning on and off the wifi :p
[19:38] <ribhoo> anyone knows how to change language in lynx?
[19:38] <sparcm> I have problem with swedish characters, can anyone help me?
[19:38] <theadmin> martian: ...weird
[19:39] <martian> theadmin: what's weirder is having to remove the keyboard and front panel to get at the hard drive :x
[19:39] <ziglir> ahh it's a wonderful day
[19:40] <bennyp> ericluwolf, Fyodorovna might have something to do with a BIOS setting called "AHCI" needing to be disabled
[19:40] <celthunder> ribhoo: should take the default
[19:41] <Fyodorovna> bennyp, does windows still boot?
[19:41] <lwizardl> I have a file inside of the trash that refuses to let me remove it. I am getting Input/Output error. Is there a way to force remove it ?
[19:41] <parapan> minixvbox: what to hear the solution ???
[19:41] <ericluwolf> Switch to combination or ide/pata in your BIOS. Windows setup doesn't like AHCI.
[19:41] <bennyp> Fyodorovna: no. I disabled AHCI, but haven't tried win yet
[19:41] <theadmin> !trash | lwizardl
[19:41] <ribhoo> celthunder: no, got translit, had to change the use locale-based
[19:41] <zykotick9> ribhoo: not related to your issue, but if you want a text browser I'd recommend links2 or elinks over lynx
[19:42] <celthunder> lwizardl: rm rf
[19:42] <bennyp> Fyodorovna: that might have done it. installer now recogs the windows part
[19:42] <lwizardl> cellthunder, tried that even as sudo
[19:42] <zykotick9> lwizardl: an I/O error may indicate a hardware issue...
[19:43] <KaiSforza> Excuse me, how do you turn off the screensaver using the terminal? aka, where's the conf file?
[19:43] <bennyp> Fyodorovna: oops! creating ext part failed
[19:43] <zykotick9> lwizardl: you may want to have a look at your "dmesg" output
[19:43] <lwizardl> zykotick9, I was making a clonezilla image of a laptop and the battery died and it refuses to let me remove it
[19:43] <Fyodorovna> bennyp, how many partitions do you see?
[19:43] <celthunder> KaiSforza: xset s 0 0 xset -dpms xset s off it .xinitrc
[19:43] <bennyp> Fyodorovna: 3, all ntfs
[19:43] <celthunder> KaiSforza: er in not it
[19:44] <lwizardl> rm: cannot remove `.Trash-1000/expunged/EXAMPLE': Input/output error
[19:44] <Fyodorovna> bennyp, post a screenshot of bgparted now, in imagebin.
[19:44] <Fyodorovna> gparted*
[19:45] <Fyodorovna> !imagebin | bennyp
[19:45] <bennyp> Fyodorovna: since disabling ahci in bios i have sda1 (about 1500m label System), 2 (223gb (label Tl103127W0E) and 3 (7gb - recovery)
[19:46] <Fyodorovna> bennyp, if you want help then consider following requests.
[19:47] <bennyp> Fyodorovna: i'm operating off of two machine now, it's a bit cumbersome, please understand
[19:47] <Fyodorovna> bennyp, I'm not to into 20 questions.
[19:48] <bennyp> Fyodorovna: /dev/sda2 (main windows partition) has at least 923 bad sectors
[19:48] <ericluwolf> hey guys I'm back
[19:48] <ericluwolf> still having problems, bennyp
[19:48] <celthunder> bennyp: thats pretty bad but new drives can ship with like 2 percent failure
[19:49] <bennyp> ericluwolf, celthunder yeah, after disabling "ahci" in bios I got the liveimage to spot the windows partitions.
[19:49] <bennyp> but the major win part has 923 bad sectors <- there's yer problem
[19:49] <KaiSforza> celthunder: my friend's computer is booting up and logging in, but then going right to the screensaver. will that fix it?
[19:50] <celthunder> KaiSforza: uh maybe. try it
[19:50] <KaiSforza> alright
[19:50] <ericluwolf> fsck in the terminal will help with tose nbad sectors
[19:50] <ericluwolf> i trust you can unmount and mount via the cli?
[19:51] <zykotick9> KaiSforza: FYI celthunder's suggestion is actually powersaving screen blanking, NOT related to screensaver
[19:51] <bennyp> celthunder, Fyodorovna, ericluwolf: results of gparted "check and fix" on the main windows partition: pastebin.org/CLbSmZE0
[19:51] <Fyodorovna> !tab | ericluwolf
[19:51] <bennyp> ericluwolf: yessir
[19:51] <KaiSforza> oh
[19:51] <Fyodorovna> ericluwolf, please don't just talk.
[19:51] <ericluwolf> okay sorry. new to irc Fyodorovna
[19:51] <KaiSforza> zykotick9: do you know how to turn off the screensaver? where's the screensaver config file?
[19:52] <celthunder> zykotick9: sorry lol my screensaver is just tho power off or my monitor
[19:52] <zykotick9> KaiSforza: you might be able to kill to screensaver process?  Not sure on it's config from cli sorry
[19:52] <KaiSforza> zykotick9: what's the screensaver processes name?
[19:53] <zykotick9> KaiSforza: depends.  you could try "ps aux | grep screen" perhaps (no screensaver running here to check with)
[19:53] <spliced> hey, I'm having problems changing the directory of an ftp in ubuntu
[19:53] <spliced> would someone mind helping?
[19:53] <zykotick9> KaiSforza: i know there is an xscreensaver and a gnomescreensaver
[19:53] <KaiSforza> zykotick9: (same) and thanks
[19:53] <Fyodorovna> !ask | spliced
[19:53] <celthunder> spliced: whats the error and did you check permissions
[19:53] <bennyp> ericluwolf, Fyodorovna have to move my location i'll be back in 10 minutes. thanks for the help this far
[19:53] <spliced> Fyodorovna: I did ask the question :p
[19:54] <ericluwolf> spliced: what's the remote filesystem
[19:54] <spliced> one sec
[19:54] <Fyodorovna> !help | spliced
[19:54] <spliced> is Fyodorovna a bot?
[19:54] <Fyodorovna> spliced, no
[19:54] <JJasonClark> noob question: how do I tell if my server is using iptables or ufw? Or does the question not make since because I not yet understand the programs well enough?
[19:54] <celthunder> spliced: no and you did ask to ask a question
[19:54] <seth_> how do i change the order of the sidebar?
[19:55] <spliced> I asked the question above it, anyway
[19:55] <spliced> one moment
[19:55] <Fyodorovna> spliced, asking for help is not really a good idea.
[19:55] <celthunder> JJasonClark: iptable -L if you hove entries you are using it no idea what ufw is
[19:55] <spliced> i got that the first two times you said it
[19:55] <spliced> jesus fucking christ
[19:55] <JJasonClark> celthunder: thank you
[19:55] <spliced> just wait a moment~
[19:56] <pangolin> !language | spliced
[19:56] <spliced> ok
[19:56] <seth_> how do I change order or bar on left?
[19:56] <celthunder> seth_: drag n drop? what ui
[19:56] <spliced> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588
[19:56] <spliced> ok I followed that
[19:57] <Fyodorovna> seth_, drag up or down some do not move.
[19:57] <seth_> in unity
[19:57] <spliced> and it's taking me to the entire drive of the VM
[19:57] <ericluwolf> sidebar? or in nautilus?
[19:57] <spliced> I just want it to be in /var/www
[19:57] <celthunder> seth_: drag n drop
[19:57] <seth_> thanks but the whole bar moves
[19:57] <SeySayux> Hey, does ubuntu come with a builtin firewall these days?
[19:57] <Captain_Proton> spliced, what fpt server you running
[19:58] <spliced> the one from the link I provided: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79588
[19:58] <theadmin> SeySayux: Yes, iptables and a frontend to it, ufw
[19:58] <SeySayux> *builtin and enabled by default to block all ports
[19:58] <celthunder> spliced: set the root dir
[19:58] <ericluwolf> SeySayux: I don't think so, but I know you can get one from the Software Center
[19:58] <Fyodorovna> seth_, drag out side the panel to the right with left mouse key held down and drop
[19:58] <theadmin> SeySayux: No, nobody would want to block all ports, that's just silly, Windows behaviour
[19:58] <spliced> celthunder: I did, it's not working
[19:58] <spliced> and I restarted it
[19:58] <impi> hello, with pureftpd i can connect from localhost, but not from outside the box? no firewall..
[19:58] <celthunder> SeySayux: no idea but iptables has always worked well
[19:58] <impi> feeling so dumb.
[19:58] <JJasonClark> SeySayux: iptables and ufw are both installed by default on 10.04 server
[19:58] <mintman> If you want to reload Ubuntu ,but keep the programs you installed can you save the .deb files in /var/cache/apt/archives and reinstall system to the same state?
[19:58] <ericluwolf> SeySayux: But please don't take my word as law...
[19:59] <celthunder> impi: what ip is it listening on
[19:59] <SeySayux> theadmin: Well, IMHO, ubuntu is moving towards more "Windows behavior" in attempt to woo Windows users into using it.
[19:59] <celthunder> spliced: any log files that might help
[19:59] <seth_> GOT IT! THANKS!! First time i've seen that UI function. Out and in. thanks!!
[19:59] <Fyodorovna> !0t | SeySayux
[19:59] <Captain_Proton> spliced, are you using the "userftp" then ?
[19:59] <Fyodorovna> !ot | SeySayux
[19:59] <KaiSforza> zykotick9: ok, go into the terminal and type $ps aux | grep screen   $kill -s pid-for-screen
[19:59] <spliced> yea
[19:59] <pythonsnake> I installed cpufreqd but I don't have acpi-cpufreq is that normal?
[20:00] <SeySayux> Fyodorovna: ?
[20:00] <celthunder> pythonsnake: yes ?
[20:00] <JJasonClark> where is the iptables config file? I can only find the ufw one
[20:00] <theadmin> JJasonClark: iptables is configured with the "iptables" command.
[20:00] <impi> celthunder, <IP_ADDRESS>:21
[20:00] <zykotick9> KaiSforza: you don't need the -s part, or you could use "killall NAMEOFPROGRAM"
[20:00] <celthunder> JJasonClark: wherever you save it to i put mine in etc
[20:00] <impi> <IP_ADDRESS>:*               LISTEN
[20:00] <KaiSforza> zykotick9: ah, thanks.
[20:00] <pythonsnake> how do i get then please?
[20:00] <ericluwolf> SeySayux: I think that KDE is more for the Windows types. Not my cup of tea, but I've always been a GNOME fan... I think Ubuntu will be its own thing for years to come :)
[20:00] <JJasonClark> ahh, have to do your own and ad the startup commands?
[20:01] <Captain_Proton> ok you have two options one: add right (user) to dir you want to ftp to. or change the right on the folder to 777 < not recommanded
[20:01] <pythonsnake> get it*
[20:01] <celthunder> impi: that would listen on all ports on all ip im sure you dont want that
[20:01] <impi> i nmpa the box and i only get: 22/tcp open  ssh: 80/tcp open  http but no 21..
[20:01] <bennyp> ericluwolf: Fyodorovna: celthunder: ok i need an NTFS partition fixer-upper that runs from the iso (i.e. i can't boot into windows to use MS's tools)
[20:01] <impi> strange
[20:01] <celthunder> icmp are you suer its running
[20:01] <Captain_Proton> spliced, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-linux-add-user-to-group/ add the user to www-data group
[20:02] <SeySayux> My problem currently is not whether Ubuntu is Windows like or where to get a firewall, but that *something* is blocking access to my box and when I was running Windows, it wasn't.
[20:02] <celthunder> bennyp: fsck
[20:02] <ericluwolf> bennyp: do you have your Windows install disk?
[20:02] <Captain_Proton> then you should have rw access
[20:02] <impi> celthunder, yep its running since i can connect locally
 do you like the new gnome?
[20:02] <ericluwolf> bennyp: sudo ntfsfix /dev/<device name>
[20:03] <ericluwolf> use fdisk -l bennyp to get your device name
[20:03] <rcmaehl> I just installed Windows 7 on my computer but now I can't boot into linux. I'm on a live USB right now so can someone walk me through the grub install. Note: My /boot is a seperate partition from my /. Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit
[20:03] <ericluwolf> starsunflower_: I love the new GNOME!
[20:03] <celthunder> impi: hmm did it log an error on listening to the external ips
[20:03] <Captain_Proton> spliced, you may want to make the www the ftp root
[20:03] <ericluwolf> starsunflower_: As in GNOME 3.  I have run it, but it's a bit too bouncy imho. I do run it on my laptop from time to time. I've never done a straight KDE install and stuck with it, always went gnome and then installed KDE
[20:07] <impi> added a port range. 21:<IP_ADDRESS> working.
[20:07] <impi> punk a$$ biaatch
[20:07] <rcmaehl> Fyodorovna: mbr as windows 7 doesn't want to do gpt -_-
[20:07] <celthunder> starsunflower_: try xmonad
[20:07] <celthunder> impi: lol
[20:07] <impi> celthunder, thanks for the help
[20:07] <celthunder> impi: glad you gt it sorted
[20:08] <impi> Security Groups >.<
[20:08] <Fyodorovna> rcmaehl, okay is the HD gpt?
[20:08] <rcmaehl> msdos
[20:08] <rcmaehl> as much as I hate having it like that
[20:08] <celthunder> rcmaehl: grub then setup (hdAUTAO,OEUHTA) what happened when you did that
[20:08] <Fyodorovna> rcmaehl, do yo have a boot partition for ubuntu?
[20:08] <Fyodorovna> you
[20:09] <ericluwolf> bennyp: any luck on your end with that nasty NTFS error?
[20:09] <rcmaehl> Fyodorovna: yes /dev/sdb1 uuid=eea91651-dc63-40d8-a4fe-2acc3cd32c83
[20:09] <Fyodorovna> rcmaehl, on a mbr setup you do not need a boot partition, if that alone is what it is.
 I was thinking of trying out LXDE - is Xmonad like openbox or something?
[20:10] <Fyodorovna> rcmaehl, this is not a lvm I assume but a rxt type partitioning.
[20:10] <celthunder> starsunflower_: its a tiling manager thats simple easy to use takes like 10mb of ram and has everythiny you need.  also it organizes your windows for you
[20:10] <spliced> if I pastebin the config file
[20:11] <spliced> perhaps someone can look to see if there's an error in that
[20:11] <bennyp> ericluwolf: just ran ntfsfix. failed: ntfs sig missing. volume corrupt, run dhfdisk
[20:11] <bennyp> *chkdsk
[20:11] <ericluwolf> starsunflower_: I don't really have wxperience with that.... sorry :).. But I'm sure you'll like it if it's recommended.
[20:11] <ericluwolf> bennyp: try ntfsfix -f as root
[20:11] <Fyodorovna> ext type partition sorry rcmaehl
[20:12] <spliced> nvm done it
[20:12] <rcmaehl> never mind
[20:12] <spliced> DefaultRoot /var/www
[20:12] <celthunder> starsunflower_: you can add /change pretty much anything you want in it in about 10 seconds as well
[20:12] <bennyp> ericluwolf: invalid option. i only have b h n and V
[20:13] <mstenta> Hey all, I'm trying to identify how an intruder got into my Ubuntu server. I found a file called /etc/cron.d/update.db that adds the following "12 * * * * root chown root.root /tmp/sh; chmod u+s /tmp/sh" … seems suspicious to me… right?
[20:13] <ericluwolf> bennyp: sorry. do you have a windows install disk laying around somewhere?
[20:13] <jrib> mstenta: yes...
[20:13] <celthunder> bennyp: did fsck worx
[20:14] <aaron_c> hi, i accidentally executed this command: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily".  how do i undo the changes it made?
[20:14] <celthunder> work
[20:14] <celthunder> mstenta: yeah i would delete that...
[20:14] <CoolCoder>  http://www.diigo.com/item/t/2480215_110729697_6364607 please check this image. I have recently created a git repo from terminal of ubuntu. Now all my files in desktop, home folder have a svn symbol. let me know why is it?
[20:14] <theadmin> !ppa-purge | aaron_c
[20:14] <mstenta> jrib: thanks. thought so. just wanted confirmation. :-)
[20:14] <bennyp> ericluwolf: i have a windows install on the sdd. maybe after disabling ahci it'll boot into safe mode
[20:14] <mstenta> jrib: still trying to figure out how that got there… :-/
[20:14] <bennyp> celthunder: haven't tried since disabling ahci.. stand by
[20:15] <ericluwolf> bennyp: standing by....
[20:15] <bennyp> ericluwolf celthunder : which flags for fsck? it's ntfs
[20:15] <aaron_c> theadmin: thanks, but when i try that i get Warning:  Could not find package list for PPA: ubuntu-audio-dev alsa-daily.  and, when i run apt-get update it's givign me errors so i think the ppa is still there
[20:16] <theadmin> aaron_c: are you sure you're typing it right? sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily
 idk that may be to much for me. I don't write haskell ;) Looks interesting though, esp for those with gargantuan monitors
[20:16] <ericluwolf> bennyp: sudo apt-get install N
[20:17] <ericluwolf> bennyp: sudo apt-get install ntfsprogs
[20:17] <aaron_c> theadmin: ya, i just pasted that exactly
[20:17] <jrib> mstenta: what kernel are you running on the machine?
[20:17] <bennyp> ericluwolf: already newest ver
[20:17] <ericluwolf> bennyp: fsck -t ntfs
[20:17] <mstenta> jrib: ubuntu 10.04
[20:17] <theadmin> aaron_c: Huh, with the /, right?
[20:17] <aaron_c> theadmin: it seems like it's ignoring the forward slash for some reason, even when i surround it with quotations
[20:17] <jrib> mstenta: kernel
[20:17] <aaron_c> theadmin: ya
[20:18] <RyanD> Is there an easy way I can log all actions/commands of a certain user/users?
[20:18] <ericluwolf> bennyp: OR fsck.ntfs
[20:18] <mstenta> jrib: sorry… newb… one sec i'll figure it out
[20:18] <hydrox24_> ericluwolf: wouldnt you want to add the option to make fsck automatically fix errors too?
[20:18] <mintman> celthunder: what exactly is xmonad? reading this website understand it runs in x11 enviroment?? what does it do?
[20:18] <jrib> mstenta: uname -r
[20:18] <theadmin> aaron_c: Odd... Okay, cd to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ and find the .list file there
[20:18] <mstenta> jrib: thanks
[20:18] <theadmin> aaron_c: Then just rm it
[20:18] <zykotick9> mintman: it's a tiling windows manager
[20:18] <celthunder> mintman: a window manager
[20:18] <bennyp> ericluwolf celthunder error 2 while executing fsck.ntfs
[20:18] <hydrox24_> RyanD: just monitor their bash history
[20:18] <ericluwolf> hydrox24_: yeah... that too
[20:18] <RyanD> hydrox24_: where to view?
[20:18] <ericluwolf> bennyp: What version of windows is it?
[20:18] <mintman> celthunder: downloading now give it a try! :)
[20:19] <bennyp> ericluwolf: 7
[20:19]  * RyanD has never bothered to do this shit before.
[20:19] <RyanD> But I've got a very, very lazy outsourced team on a project of mine.
[20:19] <celthunder> mintman: its a tiling window manager give it a try it just makes sense yeah lol thats cool let me know if you have issues
[20:19] <RyanD> well, that I'm managing.
[20:19] <bennyp> ericluwolf: the client said "after we installed 7 it broke"
[20:19] <aaron_c> theadmin: excellent, thanks!
[20:19] <mstenta> jrib: hmm… well it's a Rackspace VPS, and I currently have it in "rescue mode" so i can diagnose it… running uname -r in rescue mode gives me <IP_ADDRESS>-rscloud, but that might not be the kernel the machine is… is there a way to find that out, my machine is currently mounted in /mnt/...
[20:19] <bennyp> not sure if she meant right after or later on
[20:19] <Fyodorovna> !language > RyanD
[20:19] <RyanD> .....
[20:19] <RyanD> wow.
[20:20] <celthunder> Fyodorovna: ?
[20:20] <jrib> mstenta: you can check /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[20:20] <mintman> celthunder: hope not used fluxbox and most of the WM and DE so I hope this goes smooth. I see people add code so I can download enviroment I like. :)
[20:20] <RyanD> portland user is bitter because portland.
[20:21] <Fyodorovna> !attitude > RyanD
[20:21] <RyanD> .....
[20:21] <jrib> mstenta: but I am more interested in what kernel was booted when this was done; so it depends on whether you installed kernels and didn't reboot
[20:21] <mintman> celthunder: Does this use a script I can edit?
[20:21] <RyanD> Rather than being ridiculously passive-aggressive, I'd love for you to explain your issue.
[20:22] <RyanD> I come on here to get a question answered and you're hassling me for no reason at all.
[20:22] <mstenta> jrib: hm… no /boot/grub - maybe because it's a virtual server?
[20:22] <bennyp> ericluwolf: fsck.ntfs not found
[20:22]  * RyanD waits for next bot command!
[20:22] <celthunder> mintman: .xmonad/xmonad.hs
[20:22] <Fyodorovna> RyanD, no issue your on a family channel use appropritte language and read te code of conduct.
[20:22] <Praxi> portland taunts me with sun, got a hour of it yesterday before it started dumping buckets on me again.
[20:22] <prezeus> can anyone help me uninstalling unity?
[20:22] <jrib> mstenta: I'm not familiar with rackspace.  What's the latest version in /boot?
[20:22] <mintman> celthunder: thanks understand, hope this as easy to play with as conky
[20:23] <mstenta> jrib: /boot is empty :-/
[20:23] <zykotick9> !notunity | prezeus
[20:23] <RyanD> i tried googling appropritte but I just got a link to a Lexus forum, can you please explain what you mean?
[20:23] <iceroot> prezeus: and replace it with what?
[20:23] <fairuz_> Hi, what telephone does canonical use to show the Ubuntu on Android demo?
[20:23] <jrib> mstenta: maybe it gets mounted elsewhere
[20:23] <RyanD> Sorry for taking up space with this, anyways, hydrox24_ donde esta el bash logs?
[20:23] <celthunder> mintman: yeah try using mrelendigs config as a starting point
[20:23] <mintman> celthunder: give it a try
[20:24] <prezeus> iceroot: gnome2
[20:24] <iceroot> prezeus: not possible
[20:24] <celthunder> mintman: may want to install dmenu or gmrun as well
[20:24] <iceroot> prezeus: there is no gnome2 anymore
[20:24] <zykotick9> fairuz_: you might want to try #ubuntu-phone if you don't get an answer here
[20:24] <prezeus> iceroot: I mean no google shell no unity....
[20:24] <iceroot> fairuz_: picture looks like samsumg prime
[20:24] <prezeus> icerrot: gnome-panels...
[20:24] <iceroot> prezeus: you mean gnome-shell?
 that's useful info. I have not delved yet. still running lucid. my son likes it on his netbook though
[20:25] <iceroot> prezeus: there is no gnome2 anymore, so you have to choose, unity, gnome3, kde4, lxde, xfce4
[20:25] <fairuz_> thanks. By t he way, just to make it clear. What canonical shows is not the same as some tutorials I found on the net on how to get Ubuntu on Android right? something using vnc and stuff.
[20:25] <prezeus> iceroot: I don't want gnome-shell either, just gnome panels...
[20:25] <theadmin> prezeus: sudo apt-get install gnome-fallback
[20:25] <iceroot> fairuz_: yes its something totally different canocial is showinh
[20:25] <theadmin> prezeus: That's as close as it gets to gnome2, HOWEVER it's NOT gnome2.
[20:26] <fairuz_> iceroot: it looks very nice
[20:26] <mintman> celthunder: looking over darcs
[20:26] <mstenta> jrib: ok… it's 2.6.32
[20:26] <prezeus> theadmin: but I heard that there is problems with the panels ?
[20:26] <iceroot> fairuz_: http://www.ubuntu.com/devices/android
[20:26] <theadmin> prezeus: Well... "problems"? I don't know what kind of problems do you mean, they act and look a bit differently
[20:26] <iceroot> fairuz_: yes, its a really killer-feature (imo) and i am very happy about what canocial is doing there
[20:26] <Fyodorovna> prezeus, the gnome-shel will give you gone 3 and the fall back gnome a pseudo gnome 2
[20:27] <Fyodorovna> s/shell//gnome
[20:27] <beatboxhero> Hey what do I do if my version of Ubuntu wont update properly? I get a 404 not found error when trying to update
[20:27] <jrib> mstenta: which one :)
[20:27] <theadmin> prezeus: Try XFCE, it's almost exactly same as Gnome2, you'll feel right at home with it
[20:27] <celthunder> mintman: pretty cool right
[20:27] <prezeus> theadmin: thank you!!
[20:27] <Fyodorovna> beatboxhero, what release?
[20:27] <iceroot> beatboxhero: which ubuntu version?
[20:27] <fairuz_> iceroot: Well we share the same opinion then :).
[20:27] <prezeus> theadmin: I'll try it
[20:27] <celthunder> beatboxhero: try a different repo server
[20:27] <iceroot> beatboxhero: cat /etc/issue to find out
[20:27] <jrib> mstenta: anyway, this is probably something you should also be contacting rackspace about if they're the ones managing your kernel
[20:28] <beatboxhero> hmm not sure what version it is. i will have to check
[20:28] <beatboxhero> How do I change the repo server with a GUI?
[20:28] <iceroot> beatboxhero: dont change the repo server
[20:28] <mstenta> jrib: no worries, i'm already starting a new server and moving stuff over… i'm just poking around in the old one now to figure out what happened.
[20:28] <beatboxhero> lol
[20:28] <iceroot> beatboxhero: please provide the output of "cat /etc/issue"
[20:29] <mstenta> jrib: … just trying to figure out how they got in so i can prevent it on the new server
[20:29] <JJasonClark> where would log messages be placed for a failed mount call for mounting a NFS directory?  /var/log/messages doesn't show anything
[20:29] <beatboxhero> okay will do
[20:29] <jrib> mstenta: what services were you running on the old server?
[20:29] <zykotick9> beatboxhero: ""lsb_release -sc" would be a bit faster
[20:29] <Praxi> does 11.10 desktop not have any screensavers?
[20:29] <iceroot> JJasonClark: stderr on your shell and not in any logs
[20:29] <beatboxhero> what does that do?
[20:29] <zykotick9> beatboxhero: shows your version
[20:29] <mstenta> jrib: all kinds of good stuff ;-) ssh, apache, mysql, solr, webmin
[20:29] <beatboxhero> aww! awesome
[20:30] <JJasonClark> iceroot: shoot. oh well. program not registered isn't very useful. I need to research more I guess
[20:30] <mstenta> jrib: i appreciate your help! what do you mean when you say "which one"? what should i look for exactly?
[20:30] <zykotick9> !webmin | mstenta
[20:30] <mintman> celthunder: got alot of flexiblity to windows manager. This will take me some time to learn seeing how I'm not a programmer. But I can say the Windows manager should rock
[20:31] <beatboxhero> Okay there we go im on karmic
[20:31] <jrib> mstenta: well at least in the ubuntu repositories, there are various versions available of kernel 3.0.0... they are of the form 3.0.0-13, 3.0.0-14, and so on
[20:31] <Shojo> hi mintman
[20:31] <mstenta> ubottu: thanks, yea i heard that recently… i don't think i'll be putting it on the new server. do you think that caused the intrusion somehow? any way to know?
[20:31] <iceroot> !eol | beatboxhero
[20:31] <iceroot> beatboxhero: last link ubottu told you
[20:31] <Fyodorovna> !eol | beatboxhero
[20:31] <mintman> celthunder: be back go to logout into xmonad
[20:32] <celthunder> mintman: ok
[20:32] <mintman> Shojo: found your problem
[20:32] <trism> JJasonClark: not directly related to your question, but /var/log/messages is not used in ubuntu natty+, you should check /var/log/syslog and /var/log/kern.log for items you used to find there
[20:32] <beatboxhero> iceroot? what do you mean?
[20:32] <iceroot> beatboxhero: read the links from ubottu
[20:32] <zykotick9> mstenta: webmin being the source of your problem would not surprise me at all
[20:32] <Shojo> i have a problem?
[20:32] <mintman> Shojo: sorry wrong person
[20:32] <iceroot> beatboxhero: your version is no longer supported and the repos moved
[20:32] <mstenta> jrib: ah ok… i googled for how to find out the version number, found /usr/include/linux/version.h with a LINUX_VERSION_CODE 132640
[20:32] <Shojo> oh lol
[20:32] <iceroot> beatboxhero: because of that you get 404
[20:32] <jmazzi> I'm on 12.04; what do I need to do to have lightdm source ~/.xsession?
[20:32] <iceroot> JJasonClark: #ubuntu+1
[20:32] <oCean> jmazzi: Precise/12.04 is not yet released (now beta). Please /join #ubuntu+1 for further support and discussion
[20:33] <beatboxhero> Makes perfect sense. thanks!
[20:33] <iceroot> JJasonClark: sorry wrong nick
[20:33] <iceroot> jmazzi: #ubuntu+1
[20:33] <jmazzi> the same applies to 11.04
[20:33] <mintman> Shojo: be back playing with xmonad something new
[20:33] <jmazzi> this isn't specific to 12.04
[20:33] <mintman> Shojo: :)
[20:33] <Shojo> have fun
[20:33] <iceroot> jmazzi: using 12.04 is not supported here, please use #ubuntu+1
[20:33] <oCean> jmazzi: no, you're currently on 12.04, that's not supported here
[20:33] <JJasonClark> trism: thanks, I'll have a look
[20:33] <mstenta> zykotick9: thanks… i'll see f i can find a way to confirm whether or not it is…
[20:34] <jmazzi> oCean: k, but my 11.04 box exhibits the same bavior
[20:34] <jmazzi> i'd like a fix for either
[20:34] <celthunder> mintman: how do you like it
[20:34] <mintman> Shojo: 18+ yrs of linux I dont know if this will be fun :)
[20:34] <mintman> celthunder: hold on not that fast
[20:35] <pythonsnake> How do I check cpu's freq?
[20:35] <theadmin> pythonsnake: Most cpu information can be found by: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[20:35] <Lee3> i know this is a random question, does anyone know anything about car batteries?
[20:35] <iceroot> Lee3: offtopic here
[20:35] <pythonsnake> How can I change it? llower
[20:35] <hydrox24_> Hi guys, I want to remove a ppa that is slowing my updates down but I have installed a package for it. Is it safe to remove the ppa with a package from it still installed?
[20:36] <K-Rich> Lee3: they are 12c and usually around 200ahr
[20:36] <iceroot> hydrox24_: yes
[20:36] <K-Rich> 12v
[20:36] <celthunder> hydrox24_: yeah
[20:36] <Fyodorovna> hydrox24_, you familiar with apt-fast as well?
[20:36] <xangua> !ppa-purge | hydrox24_
[20:37] <hydrox24_> Fyodorovna: No, tell me more!
[20:37] <theadmin> hydrox24_: Yes, but you'll stop receiving updates from that ppa
[20:37] <johnny77_> I am trying to create a Ubuntu install USB. The check sum is coming out right; I'm using unetbootin to make usb; I've tried it on two computer; both see the flash drive after booting, but neither will boot the flash drive; gives a operating system missing error.
[20:37] <hydrox24_> xangua: yeh, I was looking at using apt-purge
[20:38] <zykotick9> johnny77_: are you creating this USB from a gnu/linux or microsoft host?
[20:38] <bicepjai> is there anyone who have used sg_utils tool sg_logs here ?
[20:38] <johnny77_> zykotick9: I
[20:39] <johnny77_> zykotick9: I'm using Windows
[20:39] <ironfoot495> I lost locslhost how do I get back can anyone help me with that?
[20:39] <zykotick9> johnny77_: ok, i can't help then
[20:39] <sarig_> hi all, having a slight nightmare with rsyslog on ubunto 10, using if fromhost-ip == '<IP_ADDRESS>' then /var/log/%fromhost%_syslog.log <newline> & ~ does not record the inbound syslog feed to the new file, all messages just continue going into /var/log/messages, any thoughts ?
[20:39] <celthunder> ironfoot495: you lost the pc you are using
[20:39] <mstenta> jrib: i found this article (http://my.opera.com/devloop/blog/2006/07/12/faille-de-securite-dans-le-kernel-2-6) - (in french, but google translate works pretty well) - it seems to describe something similar to what i've seen… do you think that's evidence enough to assume that the intruder exploited the kernel vulnerability?
[20:39] <celthunder> thans hard to do i really is
[20:40] <Batshua> Hey guys, my install is hanging at the "choose timezone" page.
[20:40] <Fyodorovna> hydrox24_, sorry I have virtual running the computer is crawling. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=818619
[20:40] <ironfoot495> celthunder: no I lost the ability to get localhost
[20:40] <bicepjai> how do we send data for log select using sg_logs ?
[20:40] <Companion> <3 oCean
[20:41] <celthunder> ironfoot495: readd it to your /etc/hosts and lo to your interfaces
[20:41] <mintman> celthunder: run me past what do I need to do intially all I get is wallpaper that it no tools
[20:42] <ironfoot495> ok
[20:42] <mintman> celthunder: installed just xnomad nothing else
[20:42] <celthunder> mintman: yep didy ou load elendigs config or just going without one
[20:42] <bennyp> how do i install fsck.ntfs when ntfs-3g is installed
[20:42] <celthunder> mintman: alt shift enter
[20:42] <hydrox24_> bennyp: install ntfs-progs
[20:42] <mintman> celthunder: I got to edit the profile first
[20:43] <bennyp> hydrox24_: selecting ntfs-3g instead of ntfsprogs, ntfs-3g is up to date
[20:43] <mintman> celthunder: didn't load elendigs yet
[20:43] <Praxi> oh ya, for the person who pointed out the CTRL ALT L thing to lock the computer, only works on gnome screen saver, not on xscreensaver if it ever comes up again :)
[20:44] <celthunder> mintman: alt shift enter gives you a terminal use alt jkl space etc to move around resize things etc ., also.  you can switch desktops alt 1-9
[20:44] <celthunder> mintman: try the xmonad tour
[20:44] <mintman> celthunder: roger that
[20:45] <santoshfamily> how to upgrade 11.10 to 11.10 by cd ?
[20:45] <zykotick9> santoshfamily: do nothing ;)
[20:45] <Fyodorovna> santoshfamily,  11.10 to 11.10?
[20:46] <Fyodorovna> zykotick9, lol
[20:48] <zykotick9> santoshfamily: FYI in order to upgrade via CD you need the alternative ISO
[20:48] <hydrox24_> bennyp: sorry, can't explain that one.
[20:48] <santoshfamily> can i create iso of my cd  ?
[20:48] <celthunder> zykotick9: or a lot of time
[20:48] <bennyp> hydrox24_: thanks anyways
[20:48] <hydrox24_> bennyp: after installing ntfsprogs, try running the ntfsfix program
[20:49] <zykotick9> santoshfamily: i don't mean you need the ISO physically, you need an alternateCD
[20:49] <zykotick9> santoshfamily: ie. the regular LiveCD won't work
[20:49] <zykotick9> !alternative
[20:49] <bennyp> how can i fix mbr?
[20:49] <qmr> bennyp: i was thinking I'd write an article on that for my blog actually.  it's easy
[20:50] <Zteam> Anybody can help me to fix my LVM-encrypted system
[20:50] <bennyp> qmr: http://www.arsgeek.com/2008/01/15/how-to-fix-your-windows-mbr-with-an-ubuntu-livecd/
[20:50] <bennyp> qmr: recommends using ms-sys, which i can't find installed on in apt
[20:51] <qmr> bennyp: that's stupid.
[20:51] <zykotick9> !grub
[20:51] <hydrox24_> bennyp: use this command, replacing the partition/disk as is appropriate: sudo ms-sys -m /dev/sda
[20:51] <liam__> anyone know where i can get the v4l2ucp source code
[20:51] <hydrox24_> bennyp: lol, just went there OK checking now :)
[20:51] <Zteam> it refuses to unlock thrr harddrive but I know my password is right
[20:52] <bennyp> hydrox24_: i don't have ms-sys, and apt doesn't know about it
[20:52] <santoshfamily> what does i386 and amd64 mean ?
[20:52] <ha1dfo> hi all.
[20:52] <zykotick9> santoshfamily: architecture, i386 = 32 bit, amd64 = 64 bit
[20:52] <qmr> bennyp: look, boot up, sudo su so you're root.  next, you need to mount your stuffs.  mkdir mnt.  cd mnt.  now, mount / in mnt, and /boot if it is separate .. then, chroot mnt /bin/bash , grub-install --boot-directory=/boot
[20:52] <minixvbox> 32bit and 64bit
[20:52] <bennyp> hydrox24_: qmr: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/fix-corrupted-windows-ntfs-filesystem-ubuntu/ suggests using lilo
[20:52] <qmr> bennyp: make sense?
[20:52] <qmr> bennyp: yea, it's not 1998
[20:52] <ha1dfo> Is there any program in ubuntu that is intended to keep some of my processes running? (like a cluster application controller)
[20:52] <qmr> bennyp: also update-grub afterwards
[20:52] <santoshfamily> does it also tell the processor ?
[20:52] <ha1dfo> or maybe keep them running and report SNMP if something is stopped
[20:53] <zykotick9> santoshfamily: you choose which version based on your processor, not the other way around
[20:54] <hydrox24_> bennyp: I wouldn't jump on that boat quite yet
[20:54] <zykotick9> santoshfamily: well, that's no 100% true
[20:54] <bennyp> qmr: i'm using the livecd to fix a busted win7 install, and hopefully clear the corrupted ntfs partitions away for ubuntu
[20:54] <santoshfamily> i have amd processor which will be the correct ?
[20:55] <zykotick9> santoshfamily: depends, is it 64bit - & do you want 64bit
[20:55] <hydrox24_> bennyp: OK, I'm giving the go ahead for using lilo now
[20:55] <qmr> bennyp:   ?  what is your goal
[20:55] <hydrox24_> bennyp: tell us the command before you run it though.
[20:55] <santoshfamily> how to know that ?
[20:55] <zykotick9> santoshfamily: i386 will work no matter what
[20:55] <hydrox24_> qmr: fix broken windows mbr
[20:55] <bennyp> qmr: ubuntu on a toshiba netbook with a wonky ssd
[20:55] <K-Rich> hmph, I have to based on mu gfx card... not suppoerted in newer ubuntus (last for me is 10.10)
[20:55] <bennyp> hydrox24_: lilo -M /dev/sda (the ntfs drive) mbr
[20:55] <chrisg91> Hi I have a really quick question as to installing ubuntu 12.04, I want to install alongside Windows 7 so I'm trying to use the "install alongside option" but the slider that lets you allocate disk space does not tell you which side is for ubuntu and which is for windows can someone tell me which is which?
[20:56] <bennyp> hydrox24_: qmr: problem is, fdisk only SOMETIMES recogs /dev/sda
[20:56] <zykotick9> bennyp: i don't think installing lilo is goint to help you, but i haven't been following - seems like an MS issue to me...
[20:56] <Fyodorovna> !precise | chris
[20:56] <minixvbox> chrisg91: 12.04 support in #ubuntu+1 until it is released
[20:57] <bennyp> zykotick9: except i don't have windows boot media that works :/
[20:57] <hydrox24_> bennyp: I would suggest a lowecase M, let me check.
[20:57] <bennyp> zykotick9: and i can't seem to be able to just wipe the drive
[20:57] <chrisg91> minixvbox: okay thank you
[20:57] <zykotick9> bennyp: another observation, using gnu/linux to try and fix NTFS isn't the greatest solution...
[20:57] <LjL> bennyp: ms-sys isn't there anymore, but there is still the package "mbr" that might work
[20:57] <hydrox24_> bennyp: alright, your all good, go for it!
[20:57] <qmr> bennyp: I thought you wanted to fix mbr to boot into ubuntu and windows.  I'm confused.  if you want to install just install ..
[20:57] <qmr> ben	use better hardware I guess..
[20:57] <bennyp> LjL: unabel to locate pkg
[20:58] <LjL> !info mbr
[20:58] <bennyp> hydrox24_: fatal read in/out error
[20:58] <bennyp> qmr: would love to, it's the client's
[20:58] <LjL> bennyp: it's there in Oneiric. what version of Ubuntu are you using? keep in mind it's in Universe, you might need to enable that.
[20:58] <hydrox24_> bennyp: do you know which partition the mbr is on? or which partition the mbr is?
[20:58] <lukafulmine> hi
[20:58] <minixvbox> bennyp: if your harddisk is failing then you need a new one (chkdsk and fsck can't repair hardware faults)
[20:59] <hydrox24_> lukafulmine: g'day!
[20:59] <LjL> hydrox24_: uh, the MBR on a partition?
[20:59] <zykotick9> hydrox24_: MBR are never on partitions, they have a different name then
[20:59] <bennyp> LjL: qmr hydrox24_ summing up: I'm running off the liveiso (usb) on a toshiba netbook. the client has three ntfs partitions with at least 932 bad sectors
[20:59] <bennyp> i can't use chkdsk because i dont have working windows boot media
[20:59] <minixvbox> bennyp: if your harddisk is failing then you need a new one (chkdsk and fsck can't repair hardware faults)
[21:00] <lukafulmine> hydrox24_ are you from australia???
[21:00] <bennyp> minixvbox: i'd like to avoid that conclusion if i can
[21:00] <bennyp> minixvbox: but at this hour of the night i might have to
[21:00] <LjL> bennyp: and your goal is restoring the client? i think your first goal should be salvaging the data, the hard disk is probably broken
[21:00] <Zteam> anybody have a clue on how get lvm-encryption to work in ubuntu
[21:00] <bennyp> LjL: they dont have data, IIRC
[21:00] <minixvbox> bennyp: how do you propose to work around 900+ bad sectors?
[21:01] <bennyp> minixvbox: i have no proposal >:D
[21:01] <minixvbox> bennyp: you need a new harddrive, that is the fix
[21:01] <LjL> bennyp: well as others are saying, you're probably just wasting your time with an HDD that's broken anyway. but even if you want to try anyway, it's seriously not a good idea to try to fix NTFS from within Ubuntu, so i really think you should procure a Windows CD to do that
[21:02] <bennyp> LjL: no cd rom drive. its a netbook
[21:03] <Zteam> bennyp: have u tried to run SeaTools or some similair tool
[21:03] <Andi_M> hey folks.  I just did a fresh install of 10.04 on a brand new machine and it doesn't seem to be detecting my ethernet adaptor :/
[21:03] <LjL> bennyp: well a USB key then, it's possible if i recall correctly to make one from a Windows CD using some software that Microsoft provides (although you probably need another Windows computer to do that one)
[21:03] <jhutchins_wk> bennyp: If the bad clusters are stable, you may be ok - for a while.  If they're changing, the drive is actively failing.  The rules for an SSD are a little different, but usually it's only a short matter of time before it fails completely.
[21:04] <jhutchins_wk> bennyp: Most rescue CD's will have an image that will work from a USB drive (and there are USB CDs).
[21:04] <bennyp> 2team: jhutchins_wk : thanks
[21:04] <LjL> bennyp: have you run smartmontools on the drive, by the way? that might tell you whether the drive is irremediably gone, or whether those bad sectors are just a one-off event (which i find unlikely, but).
[21:04] <bennyp> LjL: says smart not supported
[21:04] <zykotick9> Andi_M: (not uncommon for 10.04LTS) your ethernet is probably not supported OOTB - i have that issue with 10.04 on one of my EEEs, but a newer ubuntu worked fine
[21:04] <LjL> bennyp: uhm, are you use it's an HDD? some netbooks have flash memory instead
[21:05] <bennyp> LjL: it's /dev/sda
[21:05] <bennyp> does that imply flash?
[21:05] <Batshua> Asking agan with more detail: My 10.04 install keeps hanging at the "choose timezone" page.  It doesn't matter if I'm online or not.
[21:05] <LjL> bennyp: no, that doesn't imply much. which model is it?
[21:05] <minixvbox> LjL: i think he has an ssd
[21:05] <bennyp> toshiba nb205
