[00:00] <ejay_> do you have suggestions on how to defrag fast
[00:00] <Tech_> No you just have to wait
[00:00] <DasEi> Tech_: both, maverick n lucid are off beta
[00:00] <{qp}> ejay_: i think defrag is not necesary due to filesystem
[00:00] <soreau> miles: network attached? Does it have an IP?
[00:01] <DasEi> ejay_: you can make e2fsck optimizing, defrag is not much a concern on ext-fs
[00:01] <ejay_> are you sure?
[00:01] <mythomaniac> DasEi: sup?
[00:01] <Tech_> It is not necessary but recomended
[00:01] <ejay_> what is ext-fs
[00:01] <brightspark> ejay_: have you already partitioned your HD?
[00:01] <ejay_> no
[00:02] <brightspark> ejay_: then carry on.  just making sure we weren't beating a dead horse
[00:02] <DasEi> ejay_: the journaling fs (filesystem) of *nix, or better a
[00:02] <MarcoPau> hello, I just installed xampp but I can't get to the page on my browser. it loads the splash screen but whatever language I choose it won't go any further
[00:03] <ejay_> then what is e2fsck
[00:03] <^Phantom^> Is there a DVD creator for ubuntu?
[00:03] <DasEi> !info e2fsck
[00:03] <^Phantom^> One that can make DVDs with menus
[00:03] <ejay_> im sorry but im a beginner
[00:03] <^Phantom^> I don't need holywood quality stuff
[00:04] <Tech_> do you have onallocaded space on your HD go to computer manegement then disk mangement
[00:04] <^Phantom^> Enough to put a video onto a dvd that will play in a DVD player with a simple menu
[00:04] <soreau> ejay_: ext fs is the ext file system. e2fsck is a file system checker for ext file system
[00:04] <{qp}> ejay_: its the program to set up ext-fs partitions
[00:04] <soreau> ! fsck | ejay_
[00:04] <{qp}> and to check them
[00:04] <DasEi> ejay_: man e2fsck, I'm on lucid
[00:04] <kev009|work> how can I make ubuntu pause/wait for eth0 to coalesce?  it seems to try starting services before the interface is fully ready and i.e. apache doesn't start
[00:04] <^Phantom^> I have some home videos I dubbed from VHS and need to burn to a DVD that is playable in a standard DVD player
[00:04] <ejay_> i thought chkdsk did that
[00:05] <Tech_> did what
[00:05] <ejay_> im on windows xp
[00:05] <DasEi> !burn | ^Phantom^
[00:05] <Tech_> ejay you there
[00:05] <{qp}> ejay_: then linux programs wont run in windows
[00:05] <soreau> ejay_: This is #ubuntu. For windows operating systems, you want #windows
[00:05] <ejay_> yea, im here
[00:05] <^Phantom^> DasEi, this will be helpful, thank you
[00:05] <Pici> ^Phantom^: devede can do that. Brasero *might* be able to do that.
[00:05] <apow> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DVDAuthoring
[00:05] <ejay_> sorry
[00:05] <^Phantom^> I looked around Brasero, and I can burn the videos to a filesystem format...
[00:06] <^Phantom^> I'll look into devede, thankies!
[00:06] <DasEi>  ^Phantom^: I like k3b, though it installs lot's of libs (KDE), braero is the gnome-one
[00:06] <^Phantom^> Thank you from my family too, since they're the ones I'm doing this for
[00:06] <DasEi> s*
[00:07] <^Phantom^> Some of them just want the videos on a computer filesystem readable disc too, heh
[00:07] <^Phantom^> that's easy
[00:07] <^Phantom^> but the others want a DVD that can be played, like a movie dvd XD
[00:07] <DasEi> mythomaniac: did I get it right you couldN#t get an ubuntu-iso ?
[00:07] <^Phantom^> thank you again
[00:08] <brightspark> ^Phantom^: tovid
[00:08] <mythomaniac> DasEi: no, what happened was i was d/l an iso from torrent... and while i was doing that trying to figure if it was a good idea to install ubuntu 11.04 (what i was d/l from torrent) for a client...
[00:09] <dylanjuran> hello?
[00:09] <soreau> dylanjuran: hi
[00:09] <dylanjuran> im having trouble installing java on xubuntu 10.10
[00:09] <soreau> ! java | dylanjuran
[00:09] <dylanjuran> anyone able to help?
[00:09] <DasEi> mythomaniac: well approx 20MB updates daily, questions ? use a vm, reinstall (vdi-clone) in less then 3 min :)
[00:09] <^Phantom^> Oh, since I'm making multiple copies, would it be better to create an .iso and then burn them to the dvds with an image burning program?
[00:10] <DasEi> ^Phantom^: faster, yes
[00:10] <mythomaniac> DasEi: have i told you that i love you, because it's true ;)
[00:10] <^Phantom^> DasEi, sweet, thankies
[00:10] <DasEi> purrr
[00:10] <mythomaniac> ;)
[00:10] <pedrobuntu> hi
[00:11] <pedrobuntu> hello...
[00:11] <dylanjuran> well. that seems to be working. thanks!
[00:11] <^Phantom^> um, why must codec libraries be removed in order to install devede?
[00:11] <pedrobuntu> I'm having problems trying to write characters from the 3rd level
[00:12] <pedrobuntu> When I press AltGr it loses focus of the box where I have the cursor
[00:12] <pedrobuntu> has anyone ever experienced something like this?
[00:13] <EpicCyndaquil> anyone know of an alternative for OneNote?
[00:13] <^Phantom^> I can reinstall them after installing devede, right?
[00:14] <ZykoticK9> ^Phantom^, i like devede - but didn't like some of it's "funny" dependencies.  If you reinstall them after, it will probably remove devede.
[00:14] <^Phantom^> ZykoticK9, hmm...
[00:14] <^Phantom^> i'll see how it goes
[00:15] <^Phantom^> thank you for the heads up
[00:18] <dylanjuran> how about sun jvm?
[00:19] <[thor]> is 11.04 rolling out? i got a strange message about a Partial Upgrade being available.
[00:19] <ZykoticK9> dylanjuran, add the Partner repo for Sun's java.
[00:19] <dylanjuran> how?
[00:20] <ZykoticK9> [thor], don't do Partial upgrades.  if you get this message, you can use "aptitude safe-upgrade" to upgrade what is possible.  But Partial upgrade translates to "system will break"
[00:20] <[thor]> k k
[00:22] <[thor]> ZykoticK9: hrmph, looks like it is winetricks that is being held back
[00:22] <tbruff13> I am having an two issue 1) is their any easy way to record sound that is coming from my earphones 2) Why does pithos say end of playlist detected and how do i fix this bug
[00:22] <[thor]> ZykoticK9: i think i can just purge/reinstall to deal with this, no?
[00:22] <kidko> Anybody have experience with an "Unhandled sense code" error when trying to mount a drive? I've got an EXT3 partition on my external harddrive that's giving me difficulty
[00:23] <ZykoticK9> [thor], sure (i guess).  winetricks is hardly system essential.
[00:23] <[thor]> ZykoticK9: that's my thinking.. it is even a non-essential for the wine package.
[00:23] <ZykoticK9> tbruff13, pulse is capable of recording it's own output.
[00:23] <Bluebill-Wolf> say can somone help me with a walk though on how to install something via a arcive file
[00:23] <tbruff13> ZykoticK9, how
[00:24] <tbruff13> Bluebill-Wolf, what file exactly
[00:24] <brightspark> Bluebill-Wolf: Have you checked whether it is available through repositories?  That is the preferred method.
[00:24] <Bluebill-Wolf> well one moment
[00:24] <Bluebill-Wolf> not avliable via that means
[00:24] <ZykoticK9> tbruff13, sorry... don't have a link handy - you need to install a pulse dev chooser or something similar.  good luck.
[00:25] <tbruff13> ZykoticK9, can you at least point me in the right direction
[00:25] <Bluebill-Wolf> well for example heres the file in question
[00:25] <Bluebill-Wolf> firefox-4.0.tar.bz2
[00:25] <mickster04> Bluebill-Wolf: whats the file?
[00:25] <mickster04> !ff4
[00:25] <ZykoticK9> tbruff13, this might help ( i didn't look at it carefully ) http://blog.stebalien.com/2009/03/howto-ones-linux-computer-with.html
[00:26] <Bluebill-Wolf> more of ones in that file extension
[00:26] <kbrosnan> Bluebill-Wolf: extract wherever you want and then run the firefox file
[00:26] <Bluebill-Wolf> with the .tar.bz2
[00:26] <Bluebill-Wolf> but with what?
[00:26] <brightspark> Bluebill-Wolf: yes, with tar -xjvf
[00:26] <kbrosnan> double clicking on it should open the archive
[00:27] <Pici> Bluebill-Wolf: There is a ppa for firefox4, is there a reason you want to install from an archive?
[00:27] <starZ> hi - still getting this err. msg from mysql --- ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) --- can you help me?
[00:27] <[thor]> Pici: i think it is more wanting to install anything from archive
[00:27] <Bluebill-Wolf> IGNOTE THE FACT THAT ITS FIREFOX >.>
[00:27] <mickster04> Bluebill-Wolf: like pici said, there is no need for the archive file? you can follow the instructions above
[00:27] <Bluebill-Wolf> yes there is one moment
[00:28] <mickster04> Bluebill-Wolf: o i c sorry
[00:28]  * starZ help!! please!! :)
[00:28] <Pici> Bluebill-Wolf: Well there are different ways of installing things that are compressed in archives, it really depends from one case to the next.
[00:28] <kidko> Bluebill-Wolf: Well, there's no real installation process for most of them. If it's there's source code, then the build steps would be about it.
[00:28]  * starZ hi - still getting this err. msg from mysql --- ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) --- can you help me?
[00:28] <Pici> !patience | starZ
[00:28] <kidko> But the gist of it would be to put the contents of the archive somewhere, and then add a link to (or move) the binary into your PATH.
[00:28] <mickster04> starZ: are all the setting scorrect?
[00:29] <[thor]> Bluebill-Wolf: use brightspark's advice to unpack the tar.bz2 file, and then pastebin us a 'ls' of the folder.
[00:29] <Bluebill-Wolf> the program i'm looking to install is VSXU (NOT) firefox >.>
[00:30] <kbrosnan> Bluebill-Wolf: then you may need to compile the file, firefox is unusual that it ships a compiled program in tar.gs
[00:30] <kbrosnan> gz
[00:30] <kbrosnan> read the INSTALL file if present in the extracted files
[00:30] <dewey423> !ping
[00:30] <MC8> !del
[00:30] <Bluebill-Wolf> for the last time its not firefox *twitch twich*
[00:30] <MC8> o.o
[00:30] <ZykoticK9> Bluebill-Wolf, did you see http://vsxu.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=24&Itemid=19
[00:30] <[thor]> Bluebill-Wolf: tar and bunzip2 are layers of compression.. there are many different methods of installing what may be contained there.
[00:31] <Bluebill-Wolf> looking again now
[00:31] <Bluebill-Wolf> myh thank you
[00:34] <akin> how do i troubleshoot my wireless driver it just stopped working?
[00:34] <rclay> Hello all, I've got a question. A while back, I remember reading about something that will create a custom install disk based upon the system you currently have installed. Does anyone know what that is?
[00:34] <kidko> Okay, what is going on? It looks like testdisk can get to my partitionjust fine, but mount still refuses to mount it.

[00:37] <brightspark> rclay: sorry, that's the one I was aware of.  did it make livecds or install-only?
[00:38] <rclay> brightspark: That's alright, I suppose this will work for what I need. I think it was install-only.

[01:08] <ZykoticK9> flubber, never
[01:08] <FlexGuy> anybody can help or give me a channel for drbd help ? another than brdb..
[01:08] <YankDownUnder> snake_, Check to see if your device is being blacklisted (look through the config files in /etc/modprobe.d/)
[01:09] <flubber> zykoticK9 so if I want to use firefox 4 then I need to install it myself?
[01:09] <ZykoticK9> flubber, using the PPA is probably easier
[01:09] <flubber> zykoticK9,
[01:09] <flubber> Thanks
[01:09] <geoaxis> can some one tell me what OOM adjustment for ssh is ( quick google search is no luck)
[01:09] <ZykoticK9> !tab > flubber
[01:10] <snake_> YankDownUnder, which blacklist is it? blacklist.conf? or could it be any of these files?
[01:10] <YankDownUnder> snake_, Look through any/all of them. If your device has been blacklisted, you can either run "jockey-gtk" or uncomment it.
[01:11] <ItsMeMario> brightspark: guy, i did what you said. I could find commands like grep but not the command tee, what should I do?

[01:24] <ZykoticK9> Pici, i created the site that !controls used to link to for moving them, i took the site down a few days ago (and let the irc people know, so they could remove the link)
[01:24] <pushpop> thanks guys
[01:24] <brightspark> and fiddle with the order as you prefer.  the  colon is  the center of the titlebar
[01:25] <YankDownUnder> Hmmm....I rather like everything on the left top...ah well...s'all good. Time for more coffee....
[01:25] <Pici> ZykoticK9: ah. I'll make a correction, that bug report isn't really helpful.
[01:25] <rcmaehl> Help! Chromium keeps segmentation faulting
[01:25] <egarff> YankDownUnder: I understand, but others have personal preference for the right.
[01:26] <The_Rufus> question: I'm creating GPT tables on my 2Tb HDD's and every time I reboot, parted says one of them is corrupted. Seems to be random drives. Any reason for this?
[01:26] <navatwo> rcmaehl: have you tried using Fx4 instead? :)
[01:26] <byder> who's next?
[01:26] <rcmaehl> navatwo: yes but I want chromium
[01:26] <egarff> craigbass1976: I would verify that the user exists that bind9 is trying to start as, in your named.conf
[01:27] <navatwo> rcmaehl: hmm, try running it from a terminal and see what the error is
[01:27] <navatwo> rcmaehl: open a terminal and run: `chromium`
[01:27] <rcmaehl> rcmaehl@RMCPC-1REV0:~$ sudo chromium-browser
[01:27] <rcmaehl> Segmentation fault
[01:27] <navatwo> woah
[01:27] <navatwo> do not use sudo for anything you don't need
[01:27] <Jordan_U> The_Rufus: Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l"?
[01:27] <navatwo> to
[01:27] <navatwo> !sudo | rcmaehl
[01:27] <egarff> craigbass1976: the issue with bind is that there are sooo many pitfalls, that it really could be any number of things…. start with user verification, then verify that the chroot environment is owned by said user.
[01:27] <DasEi> rcmaehl: why browser as root ? can be dangerous
[01:27] <Jordan_U> rcmaehl: Never run any web browser as root.
[01:28] <navatwo> rcmaehl: never ever ever
[01:28] <The_Rufus> how do you pastebin from cmd line in ubuntu 10.10?
[01:28] <navatwo> rcmaehl: have you tried removing it and reinstalling it?
[01:28] <egarff> rcmaehl: sudo is only for administrative tasks

[01:29] <DasEi> The_Rufus: pipe output to a file, pastebinit then
[01:29] <egarff> rcmaehl: it appears to be something with the theme, I would remove your settings folder (.chromium in your home dir probably?), just note that this will wipe out cookies, settings, etc.

[01:30] <craigbass1976> egarff, I don't see a username anywhere, in any of the named. files.  Looking in the /etc/init.d/bind9 file, but i don't see it there yet either
[01:30] <egarff> rcmaehl: saved passwords will be wiped out too… just fair warning.
[01:30] <rcmaehl> no .chromium folder
[01:30] <egarff> craigbass1976: what is in your /etc/defaults/bind9 file?
[01:31] <egarff> craigbass1976: the options line anyway.
[01:31] <miketomdool> rcmaehl: the folder might be hidden
[01:31] <aron> hi
[01:31] <rcmaehl> i checked
[01:31] <miketomdool> oh
[01:31] <rcmaehl> shall I pastebin a ls?
[01:31] <craigbass1976> egarff, ahh, I see -u bind
[01:32] <egarff> rcmaehl: . folders are hidden… ls -la ~

[01:32] <Guest48654> how do i find the version I am running?
[01:33] <DasEi> !version | Guest48654
[01:33] <egarff> rcmaehl: http://www.chromium.org/user-experience/user-data-directory
[01:33] <craigbass1976> egarff, bind owns /var/lib/named/etc and var (and all subdirectories), but not dev
[01:33] <The_Rufus> http://pastebin.com/1trmHSXT
[01:34] <ZykoticK9> rcmaehl, check in .local
[01:34] <The_Rufus> i've only been trying to get this working since november last year
[01:35] <egarff> rcmaehl: Chromium: ~/.config/chromium/Default
[01:35] <ZykoticK9> rcmaehl, sorry - egarff has the correct one.
[01:36] <egarff> craigbass1976: in order to chroot, you need enough environment to run it, generally it needs a shell of some sort, like /bin/bash inside the chroot environment.  Without knowing where your root chroot folder is, I'm not much help.
[01:36] <Guest48654> I am getting this error message. How do I use pastebin?
[01:36] <ZykoticK9> !paste | Guest48654
[01:37] <egarff> rcmaehl: 'mv ~/.config/chromium ~/.config/chromium_bak
[01:37] <craigbass1976> egarff, hmmm.  I think I'll stay on the cent box for a bit.  Our ip is changing tomorrow and I was hoping to throw up a new server at the same time.  I think I'll go in stages...
[01:37] <egarff> craigbass1976: sorry I couldn't help more.
[01:38] <egarff> craigbass1976: bind can be a sticky wicket.
[01:38] <craigbass1976> egarff, no you did.  I hadn't thought of who owns the process
[01:38] <leveldoc> can someone from the LoCo community council please contact me re: Hawaii LoCo? We're planning an installfest/natty release party.
[01:38] <craigbass1976> egarff, I remember chrooting in cent took me a bit too.
[01:38] <egarff> craigbass1976: good luck.
[01:38] <craigbass1976> hehe
[01:39] <ZykoticK9> leveldoc, posting to the mailing list might be better then asking in this support channel.
[01:39] <leveldoc> ZykoticK9: worked last time. :)
[01:39] <leveldoc> but you're right
[01:39] <The_Rufus> anyone?
[01:41] <DasEi> The_Rufus: on what ?
[01:41] <The_Rufus> question: I'm creating GPT tables on my 2Tb HDD's and every time I reboot, parted says one of them is corrupted. Seems to be random drives. Any reason for this?
[01:41] <The_Rufus> http://pastebin.com/1trmHSXT
[01:42] <DasEi> The_Rufus: can't help there, sry
[01:43] <The_Rufus> $h!7....... i'm never going to finish this server
[01:43] <egarff> The_Rufus: Only done standard partitioning with MBR, sorry.
[01:43] <DasEi> The_Rufus: 2TB, why no mbr-table ?
[01:43] <The_Rufus> problem is it's going to be a 10Tb RAID5 array, I'm not sure that will work
[01:44] <egarff> The_Rufus: Why not just use standard partitioning?
[01:44] <rcmaehl> okay
[01:44] <rcmaehl> the problem is the preferences file
[01:45] <rcmaehl> http://pastebin.com/wPivrYYn
[01:45] <egarff> The_Rufus: have you tried?
[01:45] <egarff> rcmaehl: what am I looking for in here?
[01:46] <The_Rufus> I tried and it just dropped a drive on startup
[01:46] <The_Rufus> every time
[01:46] <egarff> rcmaehl: why not just wipe out the preference file and start over?
[01:46] <egarff> The_Rufus: with standard partitioning?
[01:46] <The_Rufus> not a faulty drive though, the drive it drops changes randomly
[01:46] <The_Rufus> not power supply, more than enough wattage for the drives
[01:47] <ariel_> Anyone know how to upgrade Evolution that comes with 10.10 2.3 to the new one 3.0?
[01:48] <aeon-ltd> ariel_: ppa, deb or compile. those are the options,  and just plain waiting
[01:49] <gimpy1382> So how do I get Ubuntu 10.04 to use Sun/Oracle Java instead of OpenJDK? I installed sun-java6-bi, sun-java6-plugin, ia32-sun-java6-bin then did "update-alternatives" to point java to the 32 bit one and also exported a new JDK_HOME variable but Firefox still uses OpenJDK.
[01:49] <Zelozelos> how tough would it be to make a screensaver for ubuntu. the screen saver would be just a bout 200 frames of animation no special settings but transparent in part
[01:50] <Auv5> gimpy1382, Maybe it's a option in Firefox somewhere.
[01:51] <kbrosnan> gimpy1382: Auv5: no
[01:52] <kbrosnan> gimpy1382: you need the sun java plugin and the default java in the path needs to be sun java
[01:52] <gimpy1382> kbrosnan: I have the plugin, can you explain the second part further?
[01:53] <egarff> gimpy1382: Check the other alternatives for java - java, java_vm, javaws, jcontrol, jexec
[01:53] <egarff> gimpy1382: mozilla-javaplugin.so
[01:53] <egarff> gimpy1382: one of those will probably do it.
[01:53] <kbrosnan> gimpy1382: what does java -verison return
[01:54] <egarff> gimpy1382: sudo apt-get install galternatives (or kalternatives if using kde)
[01:54] <gimpy1382> kbrosnan: pastebin.com/bXKSGSjk
[01:54] <egarff> gimpy1382: nice graphical way to see all the alternatives options
[01:55] <queso> How do I create an image of a CD?
[01:55] <DasEi> queso: by dd or a burning app like k3b
[01:55] <egarff> gimpy1382: I'd bet update-alternatives —config mozilla-javaplugin.so would be your fix.
[01:56] <DasEi> queso: dd if /dev/sr0 of=myIso
[01:56] <egarff> queso: dd if=/dev/sr0 of=imagefile.iso
[01:56] <queso> DasEi: Is it really as simple as dd if=/dev/disc of=/home/queso/disc.img ?
[01:56] <DasEi> y
[01:56] <DasEi> missed a "=" up there, queso
[01:56] <queso> Is it necessary to specify bytes?
[01:56] <egarff> queso: if there is copy protection on the CD it will fault though, it's not a way to copy protected media.
[01:56] <egarff> queso: no
[01:56] <ZykoticK9> queso, if you want an ISO you can even use cat, like "cat /dev/blah > name.iso"
[01:57] <DasEi> queso: no, just device
[01:57] <gimpy1382> egarff: That did it, thanks.
[01:57] <queso> So if I have an audio CD that I want to preserve a copy of (as a backup), this is the best method?
[01:57] <egarff> gimpy1382: happy to help
[01:58] <ZykoticK9> queso, cat won't work for audio, only data :(  the dd options should work.
[01:58] <gimpy1382> egarff: Yet the Juniper VPN still won't start, but gets further.  Craps.
[01:58] <queso> Okay, still, this is all rather easier than I thought it would be.
[01:59] <egarff> queso: dd won't copy audio… no data blocks.
[01:59] <DasEi> queso: as said, burning apps allow that, too
[01:59] <queso> egarff: So it is necessary to rip with something like ripperX?
[01:59] <egarff> queso: yes… k3b, ripperx, etc.
[02:00] <queso> Audio can't be preserved then as an .iso?
[02:00] <egarff> queso: cdparanoia
[02:00] <gimpy1382> queso: If you rip, use a free codec and not MP3.
[02:00] <DasEi> queso: sound-juicer
[02:00] <egarff> queso: might I suggest flac
[02:00] <ZykoticK9> queso, Audio-CDs are NOT file systems, like ISOs use.
[02:00] <DasEi> :)
[02:00] <egarff> queso:  as your format…. lossless, free.
[02:01] <queso> ZykoticK9: that's what I thought, but I wanted to make sure :)
[02:01] <egarff> queso: and smaller than wav's. ;)
[02:01] <ZykoticK9> queso, you could make bin/cues from audio cds.
[02:01] <queso> egarff: are wav's lossless?
[02:02] <egarff> queso: yes… raw audio tracks
[02:02] <ZykoticK9> queso, not only are wavs lossless, they aren't compressed either.
[02:02] <arghh2d2> VBR MP3's are excellent, flac is a waste of HD
[02:02] <egarff> queso: flac is lossless with compression...
[02:02] <ZykoticK9> arghh2d2, lol OGG is better then MP3
[02:02] <hermanlf> after rebooting my NIC doesn't acquire an ip using dhcp. The card is detected properly and I have the proper settings in /etc/network/interfaces. Any ideas?
[02:02] <gimpy1382> arghh2d2: Nope, MP3 is not free, stick with a free codec.
[02:02] <hermanlf> Using 10.04 LTS btw.
[02:02] <aeon-ltd> arghh2d2: yeah, but with the right speakers and sound card though....... it would be awesome]
[02:03] <egarff> arghh2d2: I find that with space being the commodity that it is, it's nice to have lossless and it's really no skin off my back.
[02:03] <gimpy1382> hermanlf: Can you get a DHCP address manually using dhclient?
[02:03] <The_Rufus> I think it's working
[02:03] <The_Rufus> thanks guys
[02:03] <arghh2d2> ZykoticK9: maybe but the problem with ogg is compatibility with devices.. sadly, pound for pound i cast my lot with vbr mp3's
[02:03] <hermanlf> gimpy: let me try
[02:04] <ZykoticK9> arghh2d2, that's why i purchased a music player that supports OGGs ;)
[02:04] <queso> okay, thanks for your help, all
[02:04] <egarff> queso: good luck.
[02:05] <arghh2d2> ZykoticK9: that's awesome, but that's only one device.. everybody else in the world is using stuff that only plays mp3 and it's hard to hook em up with cool music if they can't play ogg
[02:05] <gimpy1382> ahem... #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:05] <egarff> arghh2d2: hence why I like flac.  Space is a commodity, no longer really an issue, so I keep flac, and then convert to whichever format I need.
[02:06] <egarff> gimpy1382: heh.. good call.
[02:06] <tempfile> woop?
[02:07] <arghh2d2> egarff: that's nice... i get my computers out of the good will dumpsters and piece em back together, my 160gb is my idea of luxury ;)
[02:07] <queso> egarff: What's a good front end for CD --> flac?
[02:08] <ZykoticK9> queso, if you don't mind cli, abcde is very powerful
[02:08] <hermanlf> gimpy1382, no go
[02:09] <hermanlf> when I do 'sudo dhclient -r' and then 'sudo dhclient' the DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 message keeps searching.
[02:09] <queso> ZykoticK9: ha, great name for a package
[02:09] <wassabi> hello all...
[02:09] <queso> ZykoticK9: I'll try it, thanks
[02:09] <ZykoticK9> queso, A Better Cd Encoder
[02:09] <egarff> queso: Asunder
[02:09] <gimpy1382> arghh2d2: I have ~18TB total in my one bedroom apartment.  I don't have a problem.  I could stop at any time.  I swear.
[02:09] <wassabi> I am interested in installing Maverick into QEMU. is there a special way of doing it, or do i just do a normal install?
[02:10] <egarff> queso: rubyripper
[02:10] <gimpy1382> hermanlf: Can other boxes on your network get a DHCP address?  Does a static address work?
[02:10] <egarff> !CDRipping | queso
[02:10] <arghh2d2> good for you gimpy1382, good for you ;0
[02:10] <egarff> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping
[02:10] <hermanlf> gimpy1382: Yes I have many other pcs and devices which get a DHCP address just fine.
[02:10] <arghh2d2> queso: man flac
[02:10] <hermanlf> let me see if a static ip will work
[02:11] <lantizia> Hey what package is the "Monitors" program from (as shown in gnome preferences)
[02:11] <tempfile> o dear god 18TB I was living off 80GB until just recently
[02:11] <tempfile> I wouldnt even know what to do with that
[02:12] <egarff> queso: good luck, I'm off for a while.
[02:13] <gimpy1382> tempfile: In truth, much is lost due to RAID and my newest box is 8TB of backups.
[02:13] <queso> egarff: k, thx again
[02:13] <mrdeb> what do you have of 8tb
[02:14] <hermanlf> gimpy1382, Setting a static IP works.
[02:14] <lexvegas> does anyone know where the config file for apache is to set the servername?
[02:14] <arghh2d2> tempfile: i hear that... i actaully like being limited because it forces my to really evaluate and weed out alot of the garbage i download... even 80 gbs will hold $10,000 worth of music, i grew up with a case of 30 cd's that kept my satisfied... Less is more
[02:14] <hermanlf> gimpy1382, and I am also able to ping my other boxes from it.
[02:14] <gimpy1382> hermanlf: That's good, but I have no idea why DHCP wouldn't work.  Any else have any input?
[02:15] <hermanlf> was working fine and I didn't change anything. I think apt-get update and upgrade must have messed up something.
[02:15] <lahwran> anyone know of an image viewer that can handle very very large images? the image is 65088 by 32800
[02:15] <wassabi> I am interested in installing Maverick into QEMU. is there a special way of doing it, or do i just do a normal install?
[02:16] <gimpy1382> lexvegas: Installed from the package? Depends on your version of httpd and Ubuntu, but /etc/apache2/httpd.conf would be a good guess.
[02:16] <will> hey guys. here's an interesting problem. i'm listening to a radioshow with some of my favourite people on it, and it sounds like they've raised the pitch of the voices by 10% or so. maybe i'm going insane, but is there any way to change the pitch of the speaker output in ubuntu to bring their voices back to normalcy? note: i want to do this in real time (i'm watching it in flash player), not change the pitch of an existing sound file
[02:16] <Logan_> !qemu | wassabi
[02:17] <Daughain> Could anyone point me in the direction of a good distro for a media server hub?
[02:17] <gimpy1382> Daughain: Mediabuntu?
[02:17] <lexvegas> gimpy1382: i have tried that, which is totally empty, and apache2.conf no luck
[02:18] <Daughain> Is it lightweight? I'm running on older hardware and dont need anywhere near a full *buntu install.
[02:18] <gimpy1382> lexvegas: Ah, it does seem to be apache2.conf.  That should work, are you sure you put the correct stuff in there and restarted apache?
[02:19] <DasEi> Daughain: specs of that box ?
[02:19] <gimpy1382> Daughain: No idea, and it wouldn't be supported here I don't think.  Check their Website, there's dozens of media center distros, I use Ubuntu Server with XBMC installed.
[02:19] <Daughain> P4
[02:19] <DasEi> ram ?
[02:20] <felon> I have a question. If i d/l a .deb package (cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb) to my downloads folder, and then I opened a terminal and typed ( sudo dpkg -i cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb ) why does it say ( dpkg: error processing cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb (--install):
[02:20] <felon>  cannot access archive: No such file or directory
[02:20] <felon> Errors were encountered while processing:
[02:20] <felon>  cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb
[02:20] <felon> ) ???
[02:20] <FloodBot1> felon: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:20] <Verzor> Will: could be a mismatch of sampling rates, like a 44K sampled file played back at 48K.
[02:20] <Daughain> 2G, as I recall....
[02:20] <lexvegas> gimpy1382: i found a tip to grep -nr 'ServerName' /etc/apache2 which returned no results. My server is currently working, however i never specifies a FQDN when i set it up originally.
[02:20] <Amtrask> Hello, my update manager looks like this now: http://imgur.com/iQbXI . The packages are grayed out and I cannot select them, why is it like this? It used to be empty when it was "Up To Date"
[02:20] <Daughain> gimpy1382, I dont expect it to be supported here, I'm just trying to pick a few brains on distros I may not have heard of yet.
[02:21] <gimpy1382> lexvegas: Did you just try adding the ServerName directive in the file and see  if it does whatever you want it to do.
[02:21] <DasEi> Daughain: that's not worth, use graphics ~fx 5200, and then install from headless up only what you need, I'sd take icewm or xubuntu for window-manager
[02:21] <lexvegas> gimpy1382: ill try that. worth a shot anyway
[02:21] <gimpy1382> Daughain: Fair enough, XBMC Live is worth looking at too.
[02:21] <DasEi> Daughain: that's not worse*
[02:22] <Daughain> Thanks guys, I'll start diggin into those.
[02:22] <hermanlf> gimpy1382, Very strange. It's working all of a sudden.
[02:22] <will> Verzor: i have no idea. the rest of the episodes from the same series sound absolutely fine. i've got pretty good hearing and i know radio shows often increase the speed of songs, and this is a radioshow turned into a TV programme (the ricky gervais show), so either it's an conversion error on their end, or deliberately trying to pack in more
[02:22] <will> people who aren't familiar with it probably wouldn't notice, but it's just enough to drive someone anal like me a bit crazy
[02:22] <LorgonJortle> G'day mates.
[02:22] <felon> can someone please help me
[02:23] <will> Verzor: that or i'm finally having a tea and jam toast fuelled breakdown
[02:23] <LorgonJortle> I setup my laptop for dual monitor display yesterday, and I've found that after I unplug it I'm unable to set my resolution back up to 1920x1080 on my laptop. It's stuck at whatever the other monitor's resolution was. Ideas?
[02:23] <DasEi> felon: your apt is hanging ?
[02:23] <lahwran> anyone know of a tool to split an image into multiple parts?
[02:24] <DasEi> felon: try dpkg from init 1
[02:24] <felon> i dont understand
[02:24] <DasEi> felon: (first read, then issue) sudo init 1 brings you to small window > chosse dpkg..repair.., when done :
[02:25] <DasEi> felon: choose root next, service gdm start logs you back in desktop
[02:26] <Daughain> gimpy1382, XBMC looks very promising, thanks again.
[02:26] <ItsMeMario> brightspark: ok! thank you a lot man
[02:26] <Verzor> Will: I'm guessing that if it is only one file, that they made a mistake with the rate conversion.  If you can set your rate to 44.1 khz sampling and still have the problem, then I'm sure of it.
[02:26] <brightspark> ItsMeMario: no problem
[02:27] <will> Verzor: i'd have absolutely no idea how to do that?
[02:29] <hackathon> hi
[02:29] <Verzor> Will: I don't know how either, unfortunately.  The problem often occurrs because some cheap soundcards will *only* play 48 khz.

[02:31] <iamStupid> Logan_: what is the last version ?
[02:31] <dollarbang1> I'm trying to install Pidgin 2.7.11 on my Ubuntu PC. The Doc says to use "GDebi Package Installer". When I select to download, the default installer is Ubuntu Installer. I checked to see that the Gdebi installer "is" installed on my PC, but I don't know how to tell Mozilla to use it to open the PPA. Can anyone tell me how to get this to work.
[02:31] <Logan_> iamStupid: as in the version before the current one?

[02:38] <felon> im trying to install a deb pkg thats in my d/l folder from terminal
[02:38] <felon> keeps telling me it aint there
[02:38] <Tetracomm> Hello.
[02:39] <mickster04> EmuAlert: can't you do nautilus ./?
[02:39] <Tetracomm> Can I find the Mandriva La Ora theme and use it in Ubuntu?
[02:39] <DasEi> !who | felon
[02:39] <DasEi> felon: what do you try to install ?
[02:40] <nsur> LorgonJortle, thanks. so i cant install burg?
[02:40] <EmuAlert> mickster04: Nautilus only opens folders from the command line
[02:40] <lexvegas> So, I need to be able to put files on my server remotely. This isnt a problem in the general world, however my school block all but port 80ttp traffic. does anyone have any ideas on how I can get new files onto my server? (I can only access it through the apache web server and the hosting sights console
[02:40] <gimpy1382> ** Signoff: Chosi (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[02:40] <LorgonJortle> nsur, I've no idea what burg is.
[02:41] <mickster04> EmuAlert: yeah, so then you can see the file and double click it?
[02:41] <mickster04>  EmuAlert i don't know if it is possible from terminal
[02:41] <DasEi> lexvegas: ssh over 80, or does protocol also get blocked ?
[02:41] <EmuAlert> mickster04: Ah alright. I can always open them with their applications by typing something like "firefox myFile.html" or "eog myPicture.jpg"
[02:41] <nsur> LorgonJortle, it is such of theme to modify the grub
[02:42] <mickster04> EmuAlert: oh well if you know what the app is called then you are sorted
[02:42] <LorgonJortle> nsur, I don't know, man. I'm here for help; I'm rather new to Linux myself.
[02:42] <mickster04> nsur: whats you're problem? you can't see grub? installing burg will install something different therefore change the settings. burg does not touch grub
[02:42] <lexvegas> DasEi: I believe that it gets blocked. I tried changing the ssh port to 80 and it wouldnt connect. we have the baracuda blocking system, which is a proxy server, so i think that is where the probelms come in.
[02:43] <will> lexvegas: can't you run ftp over port 80?
[02:44] <DasEi> lexvegas: ic, did you try to access ubuntuone ?
[02:44] <nsur> LorgonJortle. Thank you, man. I have just been using ubuntu for about 3 weeks. i am blind on it :(
[02:44] <lexvegas> will: i tried doing that, although i may have had it configured improperly
[02:44] <DasEi> felon: ?
[02:44] <lexvegas> DasEi: it is just a plain ubuntu server edition
[02:44] <LorgonJortle> nsur, Cheers, mate.
[02:45] <felon> DasEi : I d/l a .deb pkg. Its sitting in my downloads folder. I then opened a terminal and typed sudo dpkg -i file.deb . But it says its not there
[02:45] <felon> and it is
[02:45] <DasEi> felon: what do you try to install ?
[02:45] <felon> cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb
[02:46] <DasEi> felon:and apart from it, need the path or cd there before, filenames are case-sensitive
[02:46] <mrdeb> how more responsive is ubuntu with dedicated graphic card
[02:46] <mickster04> felon: fistly, what are you installing, it should be done through the package manager if you can, and secondly you haecv to tell it where on your pc it is, so /home<usernamehere>/Downloads/file.deb
[02:46] <DasEi> !info cnijfilter-common
[02:46] <felon> oh
[02:46] <felon> i didnt type the full path
[02:46] <mickster04> mrdeb: not particularly more responsive, just it can do more graphical stuff, like the cube, but that doesn't need a dedicated one, my asus900 can run with the cube
[02:46] <felon> i thought it just searched for it
[02:47] <mickster04> felon: nope
[02:47] <themusicgod1> is there a clipboard manager for unity??
[02:47] <mrdeb> mickster04: it mus be more respons
[02:47] <DasEi> felon: cd ~/Desktop/
[02:47] <DasEi> felon: ls
[02:47] <felon> wow that was a major noob mistake sorry
[02:47] <will> mrdeb: it's kind of complicated. you can't get a lot more responsive than just plain mesa without any bells or whistles, but remember that depending on the card and depending on the drivers, you'll also get hardware accelerated video and flash, which is important for responsiveness in casual use
[02:47] <deathcat> guys can u help me customize the ubuntu start interface
[02:47] <DasEi> felon: sudo dpkg -i WhatEver.deb
[02:47] <Tim1> dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/dev/sdb2 bs=4096
[02:48] <Tim1> bs is it important
[02:48] <DasEi> felon: in terminal, you can type few characters, TAB autocompletes
[02:48] <|ntegra|> hi, does anyone have skype - can I call you to test my video please?
[02:48] <mickster04> felon: you can double click on .deb files btw
[02:48] <DasEi> for filename, saves typos
[02:48] <felon> i know but i think i might have to force it
[02:48] <mickster04> |ntegra|: you can test the webcam in the settings window for webcam
[02:48] <felon> thx guys
[02:49] <felon> i dont know why i was thinking i didnt need a full path for, it was freaking me out
[02:49] <felon> and i wasent in the dir so ... sorry i fucked up

[02:52] <rcmaehl_fallback> DasEi: yeah earlier the chromium devs failed
[02:53] <tempfile> I have made an oopsy, I installed ubuntu, then windows, now i cant access ubuntu, is there a way to correct this?
[02:53] <rcmaehl_fallback> and screwed up on the extensions, having ANY enabled seg faulted chromium

[02:56] <nsur> Ubottu, i get ubuntu 10.10, can i install windows afterwards?
[02:57] <fisix> i've uninstalled conky via synaptic, run sudo apt-get remove --purge conky. why is it that i can still run conky from terminal?
[02:57] <DaZ> nsur: sure you can, but you'll have to setup grub again
[02:57] <mickster04> nsur: yes but you will have to fix grub afterwards
[02:57] <mickster04> !grub
[02:57] <mrdeb> fisix: apt-get purge conky
[02:57] <mrdeb> and reboot
[02:58] <tempfile> hey hey!
[02:58] <mickster04> tempfile: your problem fixed too no?
[02:58] <deathcat> for wat is apt-get purge conky
[02:58] <fisix> mrdeb, done. conky is still there
[02:58] <tempfile> this should do it
[02:58] <DasEi> fisix: sudo apt-get remove --purge conky, no reboot
[02:59] <nsur> can i install windows after ubuntu 10.10?
[02:59] <deathcat> wat is this apt-get purge conky code
[02:59] <fisix> i've done that and rebooted
[02:59] <mickster04> nsur: yes see above, and pay attention please
[02:59] <DasEi> nsur: dualboot, yes
[02:59] <robotman09> would anyone be able to point me towards what is wrong  when i get this when trying to get elementary OS in Virtual Box http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1014180/eOSvb.png
[02:59] <DasEi> !dualboot | nsur
[03:00] <DasEi> nsur: ask , if more advice needed
[03:01] <quidnunc> How do I delete old kernel images
[03:01] <quidnunc> ?
[03:02] <quidnunc> I tried to delete linux-image-foo-generic but the images are still in /boot
[03:02] <DasEi> quidnunc: synaptic, apt-get autoremove, or via terminal
[03:02] <quidnunc> DasEi: see previous
[03:02] <AnubArack> how can set time via terminal ?
[03:02] <eric__> yeah, i'd just use synaptic
[03:02] <DasEi> quidnunc: you can tell grub how many images it should hold, autoreve does it then
[03:02] <xangua> i would just ignore them quidnunc
[03:02] <nsur> mickster, deasie, thank you. but i have no empty partition left. can i fix this with gparted?
[03:03] <quidnunc> xangua: I'm low on disk space on that partitoin
[03:03] <quidnunc> partition*
[03:03] <reefman> hello everyone how can I use chmod recursively ? I want to chmod 777 /directory/*all contents*
[03:03] <quidnunc> reefman: chmod -R
[03:03] <DasEi> autoremove* , quidnunc
[03:03] <quidnunc> reefman: try the man page
[03:03] <quidnunc> next time
[03:03] <Logan_> !time | AnubArack
[03:04] <fisix> i've uninstalled conky via synaptic, run sudo apt-get remove --purge conky. why is it that i can still run conky from terminal?
[03:04] <quidnunc> DasEi: autoremove doesn't do anything. The packages  have been removed, the images are still there
[03:04] <quidnunc> fisix: Run which conky
[03:04] <quidnunc> fisix: Then dpkg -S conky
[03:04] <DasEi> quidnunc: remove manually
[03:05] <felon> DasEi : it cant install cause dependency problems prevent configuration of the deb file
[03:05] <quidnunc> DasEi: That doesn't seem like normal behavior
[03:05] <fisix> quidnunc,  1.8.1
[03:05] <DasEi> quidnunc: not really, you're sure you pressed apply in synaptic after choosing of what to remove ?
[03:05] <fisix> quidnunc, dpkg -S conky ---> dpkg: *conky* not found.
[03:06] <reefman> .
[03:06] <fisix> DasEi, yes lol
[03:06] <felon> DasEi : depends on libcupsys2 (>= 1.2.1)
[03:06] <fisix> DasEi, it's a version of conky i compiled and installed myself
[03:06] <DasEi> felon: what in the end you want to install ? foreign debs can break your sys
[03:06] <Logan_> !away > tabris|away
[03:06] <felon> i have to get this printer working
[03:07] <felon> school
[03:08] <felon> ubuntu has no drivers for it
[03:08] <DasEi> felon: aharr, brand/model ?
[03:08] <felon> seriously
[03:08] <felon> they have none that WORK
[03:08] <felon> but
[03:08] <felon> it is a Canon Pixma ip2600
[03:09] <felon> very difficult to get working ive heard
[03:09] <Bite> Oh, why hello there!
[03:10] <Bite> I'm having problems with administrative authentication!
[03:13] <felon> Logan : that is very vague
[03:13] <felon> but yes same files
[03:13] <felon> i have them
[03:13] <mickster04> Bite: `are you a administrator?
[03:13] <felon> thats what im trying to install
[03:13] <DasEi> felon: use googletranlate: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Canon-Drucker
[03:13] <felon> no dependancies
[03:13] <Logan_> felon: install this: http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0100118902.html
[03:13] <Logan_> felon: then install this: http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/0100119102.html
[03:13] <Logan_> felon: and then add the printer normally
[03:14] <DasEi> felon: system-config-printer and cups are installed ?
[03:14] <Bite> is there a specific reason as to why i can't do any administrator taskes?
[03:14] <felon> logan_ trust me its not that easy
[03:14] <Logan_> !sudo | Bite
[03:15] <Bite> or why my login screen is glitched?
[03:15] <askhader> How can I generate a fresh sources.lst?
[03:15] <Bite> not even sudo, just some error that's not letting me do any auth for GUI admin tasks, Logan_.
[03:15] <felon> brb
[03:16] <DasEi> askhader: checkout repogen.ch
[03:17] <DasEi> http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ , askhader
[03:17] <Bite> Why is my administrative password wrong?
[03:17] <askhader> DasEi: Solid
[03:17] <Bite> Though I can login with it, i can't authorize tasks.
[03:18] <Bite> Could there be an issue with linux itself?
[03:18] <felon> cnijfilter-common depends on libcupsys2 (>= 1.2.1); however: Package libcupsys2 is not installed.
[03:18] <askhader> Bite: Unlikely
[03:18] <themusicgod1> okay
[03:18] <askhader> Bite: How many users are there on your machine?
[03:18] <themusicgod1> it turns out you can run gnome-panel within unity...
[03:18] <Bite> One.
[03:18] <themusicgod1> and parcellite within gnome-panel
[03:18] <felon> cnijfilter-common_2.90-1_i386.deb
[03:18] <askhader> Bite: sudo su
[03:18] <DasEi> askhader: it might be synaptic can find faster mirrors, still, in the later
[03:18] <themusicgod1> so you can in fact have a working clipboard manager in unity
[03:18] <themusicgod1> til
[03:19] <Bite> askhader: What does it do and why? I don't think it'd change a think.
[03:19] <Bite> thing*
[03:19] <yagoo> Bite, so you forgot your root password and blame linux on it?
[03:19] <yagoo> lol
[03:19] <Bite> root password?
[03:19] <Bite> is there a difference?
[03:19] <askhader> yagoo: Ubuntu has no root accounts
[03:20] <askhader> Bite: The password for super user access would be the same as the password you use to authenticate
[03:20] <danel09> taggerbear: que onda
[03:20] <askhader> yagoo: Well not stock anyway
[03:20] <yagoo> i think he's talking about gksudo related
[03:20] <danel09> taggerbear: que onda
[03:20] <Bite> Guys, it was working before, and it's broken now.
[03:20] <askhader> yagoo: And you think there's a difference?
[03:20] <askhader> Bite: Define broken.
[03:20] <Bite> Additionally, my login screen appears to be messed up.
[03:20] <askhader> Messed up doesn't mean much
[03:20] <felon> DasEi : how i know what version of cups i have
[03:21] <Bite> The image behind has disappeared, there's some pixel pattern along the edge.
[03:21] <DasEi> !version, felon
[03:21] <DasEi> !version | felon
[03:21] <askhader> Bite: That matters little. What we want to do is get to the bottom of your issues.
[03:21] <askhader> Hwo are you trying to authenticate for super user?
[03:21] <Bite> I can login with my password, running programs from sudo su works, but i can't use the gui for running it to work.
[03:21] <DasEi> felon: or apt-cache show PacketName
[03:21] <Bite> I need to run a startup manager which is a gui.
[03:22] <askhader> Bite: invoke it from an authenticated terminal?
[03:22] <Bite> Everything was fine until i installed java and this startup managedr.
[03:22] <askhader> Bite: sudo su && name-of-manager
[03:22] <felon> DasEi : cnijfilter-common depends on libcupsys2 (>= 1.2.1)  <---- that was part of my error msg 1.2.1 is what i have then ?
[03:22] <danel09> taggerbear: que onda
[03:22] <Bite> askhader: that worked.
[03:22] <askhader> Bite: No kidding
[03:22] <askhader> Imagine entering the correct command, how far that ca go.
[03:22] <DasEi> felon: check with the tools showed
[03:22] <Bite> What i'm concerned is that the typical GUI access methods dont.
[03:22] <askhader> Bite: I don't care much for GUI's anyway
[03:22] <askhader> Bite: Consider yourself lucky.
[03:23] <wviana> hi, some one, knows how to include the math.h in monodevelop ?
[03:24] <slaeya> What would be the best solution if I wanted to run a fileserver a webserver and also virtualbox for windows7 ? desktop 10.10 or server 10.10 ?
[03:24] <felon> DasEi : i tried  lsb_release -a, it said No LSB modules are available.
[03:24] <reefman> quidnunc: thanks it was a case problem
[03:24] <askhader> slaeya: Well, neither really.
[03:24] <askhader> slaeya: But server
[03:25] <DasEi> felon: you want the version of the cups-lib
[03:25] <askhader> slaeya: Your primary concern is filesystem
[03:25] <DasEi> felon: apt-cache show libcupsys2
[03:26] <slaeya> @askharder  - I'm not an expert in CLI so installing a gui on ubuntu server would still be ok ?
[03:26] <felon> DasEi : It didnt do anything
[03:26] <slaeya> @askharder - this fileserver and webserver I speak of would be 100% local, none of the machines will be accessing the net.
[03:27] <ray24> Dictionaries aren't working on ubuntu, someone please help
[03:27] <DasEi> felon : read and rephrase your terminal more precise ;
[03:27] <DasEi> felon: apt-cache show libcups2
[03:27] <DasEi> felon: apt-cache show libcups2-dev
[03:28] <DasEi> if the later is missing, install it
[03:29] <slaeya> I only have 3gb of ram showing as installed on my current distro where in fact I have 16GB in my laptop.  Any easy way to figure out what I have done wrong?
[03:30] <felon> DasEi : It showed me both of those
[03:30] <felon> libcups2 and libcups-dev
[03:30] <DasEi> felon: so you see the version then
[03:31] <xangua> !pae | slaeya
[03:31] <slaeya> I believe I installed the 64bit system.
[03:32] <Unirgy> hi, really need help... my ubuntu 10.04 LTS is stuck on php 5.2... i don't know where to look so it will switch to 5.3
[03:32] <felon> DasEi : it shows two different spots for version
[03:32] <felon> but there the same
[03:32] <danel09> taggerbear: soup
[03:33] <mickster04> slaeya: what does 'uname -a' in terminal show?
[03:33] <|Long|> need some help? my box keep froze ever few hours, any advise on this?
[03:33] <slaeya> mickster04: Linux slaeya-i7 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:34:50 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[03:34] <mickster04> slaeya: i am pretty sure the i686 means you are using 32bit?
[03:34] <felon> DasEi : Package libcupsys2 is not installed.
[03:34] <ok_wait> hey all, i have an ati remote wonder  (ubuntu 10.10 kernel 2.6.35 with pinguy (gnome)) and the keys have already been configured for me. it's kinda nice cause it's never fully worked like this since i've owned it but how do i configure it?  SuSE just recognized it as another keyboard and i just configured shortcuts with those keycodes... any ideas?
[03:34] <felon> right ?
[03:34] <slaeya> mickster04: I used the 64bit download from the ubuntu website, I used to run a 64bit win7 OS on here.
[03:35] <felon> DasEi : and i know that because i did apt-cache show libcupsys2
[03:35] <felon> didnt show anything
[03:35] <xangua> slaeya: you did not download ubuntu 64bit
[03:35] <xangua> or at least you did not installed that
[03:35] <rwg> I just put Ubuntu on my desktop
[03:35] <rwg> and I need to get drivers installed for the onboard LAN and Audio
[03:35] <rwg> for an Asus P5Q Pro Turbo motherboard
[03:35] <rwg> how do I do this?
[03:36] <slaeya> xangua: maybe I used the wrong disk, I have a few floating around.
[03:37] <zee313> how can i upgrade from  ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04
[03:37] <DasEi> zee313: by waiting least some weeks, until want a risky change
[03:37] <DasEi> !natty
[03:38] <DasEi> zee313: for now, consider using a vm
[03:38] <fisk> Hey, I was installing ubuntu and the installer froze. after a couple seconds my pc restarted and now it will not load the OS from the HDD or USB drive.
[03:38] <fisk> Anyone have any ideas on what I can do?
[03:38] <zee313> vm?
[03:39] <slaeya> should hardware specs define whether you run a server version or desktop version?
[03:39] <dustin> I am having some trouble getting a 32 bit .deb package to work on my amd64 install anny tips?
[03:39] <Jimmy_Kajuna> Hi
[03:39] <dustin> installed it via dpkg with force all
[03:39] <mickster04> slaeya: no
[03:39] <DasEi> slaeya: no, the intended use of the box
[03:39] <mickster04> \slpurpose for the pc should
[03:40] <zee313> DasEi: what do you mean by vm?
[03:40] <DasEi> !virtual
[03:41] <fisk> Will someone help me please?
[03:41] <DasEi> zee313: I like virtualbox
[03:41] <DasEi> fisk: sounds like you have to install again
[03:41] <zee313> ok
[03:41] <slaeya> mickster04: I have a local network (nothing will be on the net) - I'm going to run a samba share, and webserver, with windows7 as a virtualbox.
[03:42] <fisk> But it wont run the installer off my usb drive again for some reason.
[03:42] <DasEi> fisk: installe cd verified, md5sum/selftest ?
[03:42] <zee313> DasEi:can i use vm for using windows based program on ubuntu?
[03:42] <DasEi> !wine
[03:42] <DasEi> zee313: you can run win on ubuntu
[03:42] <DasEi> in a vm
[03:42] <ray24> RWW = admin abuse
[03:43] <slaeya> mickster04: I need to take into account I'm no pro when it comes to commandline.
[03:43] <mickster04> slaeya: then using normal ubuntu will probably be easiest, you can still install apache etc thru terminal and run it thr the temrinal if you want to...
[03:43] <akin> still i cannot get online with my wireless connection it worked fine for awhile after installed but now it just shows a signal icon with a red exclamation mark
[03:43] <mickster04> slaeya: yeah you can use the GUI for lots of things too
[03:43] <DasEi> that will drop some performance, but then can use all win progs in there (vm) zee313
[03:43] <akin> wired works fine though
[03:43] <slaeya> mickster04: thanks for the advice, I'll go format this thing and be back IF I break something.
[03:44] <akin> i was told to go to https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/internet/C/troubleshooting-wireless.html
[03:44] <akin> but i'm lost
[03:44] <zee313> would you like to tell how? what to do as I am missing many program which I was using in windows ? DasEi:
[03:45] <mickster04> zee313: what programs, you can probably find linux usuable equivalents
[03:46] <zee313> 1. ultra iso.     2. Adobe reader           3. Maktaba Shamila.   4. turbo C++       etc....
[03:47] <zee313> DasEi: plz see my above given softwares.
[03:47] <MK`> Is there a general computer chat you guys know of? I need some hardware help
[03:47] <juanga> !hardware | MK'
[03:48] <gantrixx> is anyone working on adding rakudo-perl6 to the repository?
[03:48] <rww> MK`: You might try ##hardware.
[03:48] <MK`> General, non-ubuntu related hardware
[03:48] <MK`> ok
[03:48] <juanga> mmm /join #hardware MK
[03:48] <sacarlson> zee313: adobe reader we have turbo c++ would be replaced with gcc and other builder and libs
[03:48] <MK`> thanks
[03:48] <MK`> it's invite only
[03:48] <rww> !register | MK`
[03:48] <rww> (channel is set +r, only Nickserv-identified users can join it)
[03:49] <sacarlson> zee313: altra iso?  I'm not sure what that is but we can create edit mount and boot iso files
[03:49] <MK`> Ahh. Ok.
[03:49] <MK`> It didn't tell me that :P
[03:49] <MK`> should be more specific..
[03:50] <dustin> I installed a 32 bit .deb onto my 64 bit ubuntu but it fails to launch, all dependencies are met and I have 32 bit libraries installed, any thoughts on what my next step should be would be helpful
[03:51] <mickster04> zee313: you don't need ultra iso, cd burning software is included, as is a default pdf reader, define maktaba shamila? you can install dev tools of languages other than c++?
[03:51] <mickster04> !dev | zee313
[03:53] <zee313> I was to do something for ubuntu.  I am well in Urdu,English. But don't have programming experience.
[03:55] <mickster04> zee313: what other programs, and what was that one i didn't recognise
[03:55] <ZykoticK9> dustin, start the program in question from a terminal, what output do you get?
[03:55] <zee313> ubottu: i don't know from last 4 days occasionally my system hangs. then I restart by pressing the power button
[03:56] <sacarlson> zee313: Maktaba Shamila looks to be a simple dictionary with fonts that should be readable from linux ubuntu
[03:57] <zee313> Maktaba Shamila is an Islamic program.  that is in Arabic. and its books use extent ion  .bok
[03:57] <zee313> extension  .bok
[03:59] <felon> DasEi : if i have libcupsys2 pkg but its not installed. how do i find it to install it
[03:59] <mickster04> maku: you may be able to run that through wine
[03:59] <dustin> ZykoticK9, it claimes to be looking for a library that doesn't exist
[03:59] <mickster04> maku: wrong nick -_-
[03:59] <ZykoticK9> dustin, which one?
[03:59] <mickster04> zee313: you may be able to run that through wine
[03:59] <dustin> ZykoticK9, libzip.so.1
[04:00] <zee313> but those programs don't run on wine that is the tragedy for me
[04:00] <dustin> ZykoticK9, its an E-reader interface if that makes this a little more clear
[04:00] <samd> hi, where can i find a official ubuntu 11.04 countdown banner?
[04:00] <ZykoticK9> dustin, kobo?
[04:01] <dustin> ZykoticK9, check
[04:01] <zee313> plz explain vm and how can I us it for running windows programs on my ubuntu?
[04:01] <mickster04> samd: try omgubuntu.com they might have an article on it
[04:01] <rww> samd: They haven't sorted one out yet, I think.
[04:01] <ZykoticK9> dustin, see if this link helps http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10285029  good luck.
[04:01] <rww> still choosing
[04:01] <juanga> zee313: you run windows...on a virtual machine
[04:01] <dustin> ZykoticK9, I am guessing that you have tried this too
[04:01] <ZykoticK9> dustin, no, just saw it in google result
[04:01] <nastjuid> hmm, is there a way to change the run application dialog so that it will open a web browser with www. and/or instead of http:// ?
[04:02] <mickster04> zee313: the only program you need iwndows for is that one arabic one. and have you tried that in wine?
[04:02] <samd> mickster04: rww alright, i found one but its not official, i guess ill use that one, thanks
[04:02] <dustin> ZykoticK9, that looks like the golden ticket TY
[04:02] <ZykoticK9> dustin, glad to help
[04:03] <zee313> mickster04: how can i get iwndows ?
[04:04] <zee313> juanga: how to get virtual machine?
[04:05] <mickster04> zee313: you mightn't need to , just use WINE if you can
[04:05] <kaushal> hi
[04:05] <kaushal> Can someone please guide me about https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2011-April/241948.html ?
[04:06] <kaushal> Are there any irssi plugins which will notify on screen if someone higlights me ?
[04:07] <Jordan_U> kaushal: http://www.codealpha.net/215/script-irssi-ubuntu-notify-osd-notification-system/
[04:08] <mickster04> kaushal: it kinda does, at the bottom with the numbers, if you are mentioned it highlights the number? but i guess you mean like ubuntu notify things top right?
[04:09] <slaeya> mickster04: could accidentally using the Alternate amd64 version have cause me the problems of installing an x86 version?
[04:10] <sacarlson> zee313: seems the format for your library of books is in mdb format that can be uncompressed and viewed in open office on linux
[04:10] <mickster04> slaeya: i don't understand what you mean. if you installed a 64 bit OS and then a 32bit OS they wouldn
[04:10] <mickster04> 't affect easch other
[04:10] <mickster04> effect*
[04:12] <slaeya> mickster04: sorry must have been someone else who was helping me with the version I had installed, I just remembered your name from earlier.
[04:13] <mickster04> slaeya: yeah no...i spoke to you about trying to install 32bit OS and pnly hving 3.2 ram
[04:14] <slaeya> mickster04: 13GB of ram wasted after installing a 32bit install. I'd rather not use PAE if my computer can handle an x64.
[04:14] <dustin> ZykoticK9, hey that fix is confirmed works great now
[04:14] <ZykoticK9> dustin, nice!
[04:15] <dustin> ZykoticK9, this has been one of those projects I have been nibbling at for a few weeks just tonight I got serious with it (wife was nagging)
[04:17] <mickster04> slaeya: well install a 64bit then
[04:18] <slaeya> mickster04: i thought I had, 76% downloaded going to install once its done.  Slow 1mbps internet connection :( Wish I was in a country with fibre

[04:22] <egarff> DARKGuy: you could test with something like "route add default gw X.X.X.X"
[04:22] <cl3tUs> It's a shared drive for the whole fam.  How do I do that?
[04:22] <Mathuin> "xrandr -o left" thanks!

[04:23] <oscargot> Hello, i just installed the ubuntu netbook remix on my netbook, however, my wireless device does not function and nor do i have a GUI
[04:23] <DARKGuy> egarff, I've tried with that command, but it didn't seem to help much :/ - sacarlson: I did so, but then I can't see the LAN :/ - slaeya: that seems to work, I'll try all that stuff at work when I'm back. Thanks! :)
[04:23] <egarff> DARKGuy: oh, sudo if you're not root.  if that works, then you can probably put it into the settings in network-manager.
[04:24] <FlexGuy> anybody can help or give me a channel for drbd help ? another than brdb..
[04:24] <slaeya> DARKGuy, that ones on my bookmmarks, it always gives me grief and I never remember ;)
[04:24] <egarff> DARKGuy: is your default gateway in the network that wlan0 is connected to?
[04:24] <parapara> hi all: is there a way to get a Gnome launcher to open a program in the terminal?
[04:24] <ubd> how do i lealrn my IP???
[04:25] <egarff> ubd: ifconfig
[04:25] <slaeya> ubd: in terminal ifconfig
[04:25] <sacarlson> DARKGuy: I guess you will need to sudo route | pastebinit for us to see what might be the problem then
[04:25] <ubd> THANK YOU
[04:25] <DARKGuy> egarff, well I did sudo route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS> (or so it says when I just plug wlan0 and disconnect eth0). eth0 is on the 10.x.x.x subnet
[04:25] <egarff> ubd: multiple ?'s make it look like you're demanding btw.
[04:25] <DARKGuy> slaeya, haha I can see why, thanks :)
[04:25] <slaeya> DARKGuy: NO
[04:25] <BestKeptSecret> is there any man page for listing the man page (#) number categories
[04:25] <slaeya> NP***
[04:25] <egarff> DARKGuy: can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>?
[04:26] <slaeya> time to reformat my PC ... watch this space.  I should use a stopwatch ;)
[04:26] <slaeya> ciao
[04:26] <DARKGuy> sacarlson, egarff : hmm I didn't try that - I will tomorrow when I'm back at work, it seems I was on the right way :)
[04:26] <ZykoticK9> parapara, "gnome-terminal -e foo"
[04:26] <egarff> DARKGuy: I suspect you have bigger issues... verify you can ping your gw before you try to get out. ;)
[04:26] <oscargot> Hello, i just installed the ubuntu netbook remix on my netbook, however, my wireless device does not function and nor do i have a GUI
[04:26] <BestKeptSecret> nvm found it
[04:26] <BestKeptSecret> man man
[04:26] <BestKeptSecret> :)
[04:26] <DARKGuy> egarff, I guess o.O... haha, okay xD
[04:27] <DARKGuy> thanks all! ^^ most likely I'll be back >_>;
[04:27] <sacarlson> DARKGuy: I have ended up with two default gateways so don't let that happen as I did,  delete the uneeded or unwanted gateways
[04:27] <egarff> oscargot: inside a terminal 'lspci' and see which wireless device you have.
[04:27] <oscargot> ergarff:I have the BCM 4313 by broadcom
[04:27] <oscargot> err
[04:28] <parapara> ZykoticK9 - thank you!
[04:28] <egarff> oscargot: that will require the restricted drivers.
[04:28] <Shineson> Does anyone know how to set a home directory to a value returned by a program in PAM?
[04:28] <egarff> System->Administration->Additional Drivers
[04:28] <ZykoticK9> parapara, glad to help
[04:28] <oscargot> egarff: I tried to install the driversusing the live USB but in the end I could not connect to a network even though I can scan them
[04:28] <oscargot> egarff: I wish I could do that but I have no GUI
[04:29] <egarff> oscargot: can you plug in a wired network?
[04:30] <oscargot> egarff: There is no ethernet hub that is accessible to me :(
[04:30] <cl3tUs> I have a second hard drive installed on our computer and I need to add all the other users to have full rights to it.
[04:30] <cl3tUs> It's a shared drive for the whole fam.  How do I do that?
[04:30] <fisix> just installed eclipse, eclipse-platform, and eclipse-cdt. why isn't syntax highlighted on my .cpp file and how do i enable it?
[04:30] <egarff> oscargot: you need the bcmwl-kernel-source and bcmwl-modaliases packages
[04:30] <ZykoticK9> cl3tUs, is it a linux (ext3/4) formatted driver or windows (FAT/NTFS)?
[04:30] <ejv> cl3tUs: make a group called family, and put all your users in it, then chown it to family
[04:30] <egarff> oscargot: I'm not sure how for you to get those without network.    I'm about to start reading the newbie stuff.  I will be learning chown soon...  I suck now :(
[04:31] <cl3tUs> ZykoticK9, If it weren't FAT, could I do it through right click > properties > Permissions?
[04:32] <ZykoticK9> cl3tUs, you can't apply linux permission to windows drivers - the permission are set in fstab or something.?!?
[04:32] <oscargot> egarff: If I do happen to gain access to the internet, what steps can I take to retrieve my gui and wireless drivers?
[04:32] <ZykoticK9> cl3tUs, drives not drivers
[04:32] <egarff> cl3tUs: you can also add 'file_mode=777,dir_mode=777' or the like to fstab, although, creating a group and chowning it is a better answer.
[04:32] <BestKeptSecret> oscargot, don't drivers pop up automatically
[04:32] <cl3tUs> ZykoticK9, sorry...I didn't mean to have a typo...
[04:32] <ZykoticK9> cl3tUs, i was the one with the typo ;)
[04:33] <BestKeptSecret> oscargot, also you can go system -> administrator -> hardware drivers
[04:33] <oscargot> BestKeptSecret: If I had internet you mean?? And also I have no GUI T_T
[04:33] <egarff> oscargot: if you have network, 'sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source bcmwl-modaliases'
[04:33] <cl3tUs> egarff, I can create a group.  How do I chown like a champ?
[04:33] <egarff> BestKeptSecret: he doesn't have guid
[04:33] <BestKeptSecret> oscargot, oic I only am a noob that does the noob "gui" thing
[04:33] <egarff> BestKeptSecret: er gui
[04:33] <BestKeptSecret> egarff, group user id?
[04:33] <oscargot> egarff: Thank you for your help, I will try to find some access to the internet >: )
[04:34] <egarff> cl3tUs: at terminal chmod -R .groupname /<location>
[04:34] <oscargot> BestKeptSecret: Thanks for trying :)
[04:34] <egarff> cl3tUs: beware though, if you mistype the location, you'll change ownership on many things.
[04:34] <cl3tUs> would it be /media/drivename?
[04:34] <egarff> cl3tUs: oh, and you need to run that as sudo or root.
[04:34] <BestKeptSecret> oscargot, np that's what this channel is here for
[04:34] <BestKeptSecret> helping...
[04:34] <cl3tUs> egarff, hmmmm...scary
[04:34] <cl3tUs> what kind of stuff?
[04:34] <egarff> oscargot: no worries, good luck.
[04:34] <egarff> cl3tUs: well, say you did / and mishit enter...
[04:35] <egarff> cl3tUs: everything.
[04:35] <cl3tUs> LOL!!!
[04:35] <egarff> cl3tUs: what I do to be safe is I stay in the parent directory and do './location'
[04:35] <cl3tUs> That's awesome!
[04:35] <egarff> note the '.' at the beginning.
[04:35] <rjbs> While trying to move my system from an older hard drive to a newer one, I've ended up with a non-bootable system.
[04:35] <egarff> cl3tUs: '.' signifies 'current dir'
[04:36] <cl3tUs> Okay, I'm in the main drive right now.
[04:36] <egarff> cl3tUs: where are you mounting the secondary?
[04:36] <rjbs> The drive seems to have all the files I expect, and I get a grub prompt, but I can't sort out how to get it to boot.  I've re-run grub-install from a 10.04 SD card I had lying around, but it wasn't much help.
[04:36] <cl3tUs> well...I'm navigated into the second drive.
[04:36] <egarff> cl3tUs: type pwd
[04:36] <egarff> cl3tUs: report the output to me.
[04:36] <slaeya> wohoo
[04:37] <slaeya> 6 Minutes 48 seconds
[04:37] <slaeya> Fully installed
[04:37] <slaeya> Linux sLaeYa-i7 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:32:27 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[04:37] <cl3tUs> egarff,  /media/Pegasus
[04:37] <egarff> cl3tUs: ok, so the second drive is mounted as Pegasus
[04:37] <cl3tUs> Yep :D
[04:37] <mickster04> slaeya: that's more like it
[04:37] <ubuntu10_10> can i import my contacts and settings from a different ubuntu (on another partition)  ???
[04:38] <slaeya> mickster04: yeah, its about time
[04:38] <cl3tUs> egarff,  I want to have my fam to be able to access it.  We share music, videos, pictures, and such.
[04:38] <slaeya> with a 7 second boot
[04:38] <egarff> cl3tUs: ok, here we go... 'cd ..;sudo chown -R .<groupname> ./Pegasus'
[04:38] <egarff> cl3tUs: be sure to note all the .'s
[04:39] <egarff> cl3tUs: including before the groupname.  And be sure and replace <groupname> with whatever you made it, say family.
[04:39] <onecrazycat> Seems like everyone is hating on unity, but I don't see it impacting the distro that much at this point.
[04:39] <egarff> cl3tUs: That will recursively change group ownership on EVERYTHING on Pegasus.
[04:39] <cl3tUs> egarff, bash: cd ..;sudo chown -R .family ./Pegasus: No such file or directory
[04:39] <slaeya> !pastebin
[04:39] <egarff> onecrazycat: I'm not a hater, I don't really think it changes that much.
[04:40] <egarff> cl3tUs: now that's entertaining.... type pwd again.
[04:40] <cl3tUs> egarff, well, I'm full of entertainment :D
[04:40] <cl3tUs> egarff, /media/Pegasus
[04:41] <egarff> cl3tUs: ok, type cd ..
[04:41] <egarff> cl3tUs: next line type 'sudo chown -R .family ./Pegasus'
[04:41] <slaeya> mickster04: does this look better ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/590036/
[04:41] <raonid> Hi all! Is there an easy way to run Xubuntu from a USB drive?
[04:42] <ubuntu10_10> can i import my contacts and settings from a different ubuntu (on another partition)  ???
[04:42] <onecrazycat> Agreed, I think a lot of these blog sites want to talk about the new release because it's the cool thing to do, and they want to seem current, but they don't have anything valuable to say besides saying that Unity is controversial (and it really isn't).  It's a shame, because it's detracting from what is probably going to be a nice solid release.
[04:42] <cl3tUs> egarff, same thing.
[04:42] <rumpel_> raonid, yes... install it to a usb-drive
[04:42] <egarff> cl3tUs: you typed 'cd ..'?
[04:42] <ZykoticK9> egarff, you can't apply linux permission/ownership onto a FAT partition... cl3tUs
[04:42] <raonid> rumpel_, isn't there something similar to that of ubuntu?
[04:42] <cl3tUs> I should change from FAT32?
[04:43] <rumpel_> ubuntu10_10, one method would be to just copy the specific user-folder from /home to the other ubuntu
[04:43] <egarff> cl3tUs: oh, crap.. missed that it was FAT31
[04:43] <egarff> 32 even
[04:43] <cl3tUs> I can reformat...
[04:43] <ZykoticK9> cl3tUs, you don't have too, but you can't treat it the same as linux partitions.
[04:43] <rumpel_> raonid, i don't understand your question  o.O
[04:43] <egarff> cl3tUs: if you don't want to reformat you can do the 'file_mode=777,dir_mode=777' in the fstab
[04:43] <mickster04> slaeya: yes indeed
[04:44] <cl3tUs> egarff, I don't mind reformatting, but, we are watching a movie atm and they're really into it.
[04:44] <raonid> rumpel_, oh, sorry. I mean, can't I use the Startup Disk Creator to install Xubuntu on a usb, just like I can with Ubuntu?
[04:44] <egarff> cl3tUs: yeah, format extX (3 or 4 preferred)
[04:44] <slaeya> mickster04: I was starting to get depressed i7 (admittedly only a 720m laptop obviously with 16gb ram) it really didn't make me happy
[04:44] <akin> wireless not working but my wired connection is. Can someone help me out...?
[04:44] <cl3tUs> egarff, what's better?
[04:45] <egarff> cl3tUs: uhm.... yes. :)
[04:45] <cl3tUs> egarff, Gotcha!  :D
[04:45] <ZykoticK9> cl3tUs, if you do any torrenting use ext4
[04:45] <egarff> cl3tUs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4
[04:45] <rumpel_> raonid, i guess... you can start a live-medium with that
[04:45] <slaeya> mickster04: thanks for all the help!!!
[04:45] <mickster04> slaeya: heh, i hardly did anything, you fixed it yourself :p
[04:46] <egarff> cl3tUs: I tend to go ext4 anymore by default...
[04:46] <slaeya> yeah but I was blaming ubuntu when it was really my fault
[04:46] <cl3tUs> ZykoticK9, What is this "torrenting"?  Is that like when waves of water rush in a direction?
[04:46] <raonid> rumpel_, that's exactly what I want to do
[04:46] <Unirgy> hi, how do i know if my kernel is bigmem?
[04:46] <raonid> rumpel_, but it's not working
[04:46] <ZykoticK9> cl3tUs, the p2p application.. torrents.  i turned it into a verb there ;)
[04:46] <egarff> cl3tUs: ZykoticK9 is right.... if you do anything that is going to risk 'fragmentation', ext4 is better.
[04:47] <porthose> has anyone tried to use conky with unity?
[04:47] <egarff> cl3tUs: Delayed allocation FTW
[04:47] <cl3tUs> ZykoticK9, I was playing :D
[04:47] <rumpel_> raonid, you could also try to create a boot-stick with unetbootin (which is a better tool for this task in my opinion)
[04:48] <raonid> rumpel_, thanks, I'll try with unetbootin
[04:48] <cl3tUs> egarff, is that delayed allocation info in that wikipedia entry?
[04:48] <raonid> rumpel_, =)
[04:48] <egarff> cl3tUs: yeah.
[04:49] <egarff> cl3tUs: handles fragmentation better with delayed allocation.
[04:49] <cl3tUs> wow.  Who makes this stuff up?
[04:49] <egarff> cl3tUs: at the ever so slight risk of data loss with things like power loss, but well, in practice, I've never really dealt with that, and I administer over 300 linux servers. ;)
[04:50] <cl3tUs> egarff, have you heard of "LPI" or the Linux Professionals Institute?
[04:50] <lwizardl> when does the .4 releases happen ? the 28th ?
[04:50] <egarff> cl3tUs: men smarter than I am. ;)
[04:50] <egarff> cl3tUs: yeah
[04:50] <BestKeptSecret>  I love wordnet
[04:50] <BestKeptSecret> i think it's dope
[04:50] <egarff> cl3tUs: I have a couple admins in my team that are LPIC cert'd.
[04:51] <BestKeptSecret> egarff, is that cert hard to get?
[04:51] <cl3tUs> egarff, Can you shoot me something to study to start a linux server environment?  I want to learn so bad, but there's nobody to learn from in this tiny town.  I want to study the LPI cert book (I have it now).
[04:51] <cl3tUs> I want to get CCNA, LPI Cert, SCCM, then next Cisco cert.
[04:51] <egarff> BestKeptSecret: That's kind of a loaded question.  Depends on your experience.  There are also 3 levels.
[04:51] <slaeya> cl3tUs: CCNA and CCNP are easy enough to find on google
[04:52] <slaeya> cl3tUs: if you can handle CCNP then don't stop there go for CCIE
[04:52] <egarff> cl3tUs: My recommendation is to take on tasks... start with something like setting up an FTP server, then move on to web server, then mail server, etc.
[04:52] <cl3tUs> slaeya, That's what I want to do.  Security route.
[04:52] <egarff> cl3tUs: that's how I learned... I came up with ideas, and made them happen.
[04:53] <egarff> cl3tUs: that and honestly, reading the linux in a nutshell book from o'reilly and just knowing the linux commands helped tons.
[04:53] <cl3tUs> egarff, do you have a forum or area you talk to people about that so I can read how to do it?  Or maybe some Youtube vids on how to?  I have hexacore 3.2 GHz AMD and 8 GB ram.  I am g2g on speed :D
[04:53] <egarff> cl3tUs: oh, iptables is good foo, learn and learn iptables.
[04:53] <slaeya> cl3tUs: I find most people stutter when it comes to IPV6 for me that was the hardest obstacle in any of the Cisco Qualifications.
[04:54] <cl3tUs> egarff, I am learning some linux commands, but the guy I like to learn from is usually pretty busy and a ways away from me.  When he can teach me, I'm nowhere near a linux computer :(
[04:54] <egarff> cl3tUs: Hmm.... you're in a small town?
[04:54] <egarff> cl3tUs: seriously, order up the linux in a nutshell (or unix in a nutshell) books from o'reilly
[04:54] <cl3tUs> slaeya, I like IPv6 :D  I don't know anything abput TCP/IP protocols.  I am on CH 2.  Nobody have ever shown me any of this...ever.  I'm learning on my own :D
[04:54] <hermanlf> cl3tUs: all you need is google and a vm
[04:55] <Success1> ubuntu+pidgin+freenode==fun!!
[04:55] <danileigh79> cl3tUs: believe it or not i read linux for dummies
[04:55] <cl3tUs> egarff, I ...acquired the 3rd linux in a nutshell book :D
[04:55] <rjbs> wth.  now I'm getting Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS
[04:55] <cl3tUs> danileigh79, I imagine it's good.  I = dummie!
[04:55] <slaeya> cl3tUs: Sign up for correspondence from cisco.. They give you the emulators, tutorials etc with the ease of learning from your own home
[04:55] <danileigh79> cl3tUs: lollo64it  no worries, brb smoke break
[04:55] <egarff> cl3tUs: I seriously read it front to back, even though it's mainly just commands... it's probably the best way I learned all the obscure crap.
[04:55] <cl3tUs> knowledge is too beautiful of a gift to keep to oneself or charge for.  It should be given and shared among brothers and friends.
[04:56] <BestKeptSecret> egarff, what did you read front to back?
[04:56] <cl3tUs> slaeya, Where do you do that?
[04:56] <egarff> cl3tUs: tldp.org is good too
[04:56] <egarff> cl3tUs: although, often outdated.
[04:56] <BestKeptSecret> egarff, it is outdated
[04:56] <egarff> BestKeptSecret: Linux in a nutshell.
[04:56] <cl3tUs> daniel3, what's lollo64it?
[04:56] <BestKeptSecret> man pages is best
[04:56] <egarff> BestKeptSecret: but it has enough that you can glean much info from it.
[04:56] <egarff> BestKeptSecret: that's what the Linux in a nutshell is, basically just a long list of the man pages.
[04:57] <cl3tUs> BestKeptSecret, i like man stuff, but when I want to see someone do it, I look to stuff like youtube or a really well written way that someone is trying to do what I'm looking to do.
[04:57] <slaeya> cl3tUs: this one is localised to my country however you can still use the demo http://www.ecertit.com.au/CCNA.aspx?gclid=CICGsNT_hqgCFQTabgodK2shqQ .... google is your best friend.
[04:57] <cl3tUs> BestKeptSecret, sometimes, I don't know how to search what I'm doing.
[04:57] <BestKeptSecret> cl3tus, i think man pages, as i have just found out this exact minute, are the best way to learn
[04:57] <egarff> cl3tUs: another thing to do is to go take the 'qualifying' tests for the redhat certs (they're free on redhats site) and take notes on things so you can google and learn them later.
[04:57] <BestKeptSecret> cl3tus, i think actually reading the full man page will give you what's needed to use what you're doing
[04:58] <BestKeptSecret> cl3tus, like i'm reading about the cron right now
[04:58] <ayecee> what's more, bits of it will stick in your mind.
[04:58] <cl3tUs> BestKeptSecret, cron?  What kind of Greek God is that?
[04:58] <egarff> cl3tUs: time
[04:58] <BestKeptSecret> cl3tus, it's lead me from cron 8 to crontab 1 to crontab 5
[04:58] <slaeya> cl3tUs: there is an abundance of FREE information out there you just have to want to find it!
[04:58] <cl3tUs> slaeya, what's this page?  Is it...the tests?
[04:58] <egarff> cl3tUs: chronos.
[04:58] <wjlafrance-desk> Is there a way to suck all packets on a wired network into wireshark on a Linux box without a special router, or the box being the router? (expecting a no :( )
[04:59] <BestKeptSecret> cl3tus, and now i'm in ed editing a crontab for my account
[04:59] <cl3tUs> chronos...you mean the father of Zeus?
[04:59] <slaeya> cl3tUs: no its free virtual emulators etc, for people who can't afford the equipment yet want to do the tests etc.
[04:59] <jrtayloriv> I'm trying to set up dual boot with Windows 7, and I'm not sure how to tell which partition is the recovery partition. There is the main Windows partition (several hundred GB) but then there are 2 others - one is ~100MB and the other is 15GB. The 15GB partition is the only one marked bootable
[04:59] <jrtayloriv> I'm guessing it would be the 15GB partition, right?
[04:59] <slaeya> jrtayloriv, the 15gb partition would be your Recovery partition
[04:59] <oscargotCLI> Hello, I've just installed the ubuntu netbook remix version but I am unable to start the GUI
[04:59] <ayecee> wjlafrance-desk: there are techniques to make some switches fall back to broadcast mode, but generally, no.
[05:00] <slaeya> jrtayloriv, however the 100mb partition may be a bootsector for recovery or a dependant of the recovery drive
[05:00] <jrtayloriv> slaeya, Thanks. Can I just wipe it out, and use it for my /boot and / parition?
[05:00] <BestKeptSecret> slaeya, what's a recovery partition?
[05:00] <ayecee> wjlafrance-desk: probably out of scope here too.
[05:00] <slaeya> BestKeptSecret, your speaking windows I take it ?
[05:00] <egarff> cl3tUs: https://www.redhat.com/certification/rhce/objectives/
[05:00] <BestKeptSecret> slaeya, no not at all
[05:00] <BestKeptSecret> no recov partition in ubuntu?
[05:00] <BestKeptSecret> or *nix?
[05:01] <egarff> cl3tUs: there's a list of things to learn to do in linux. ;)
[05:01] <wjlafrance-desk> ayecee, thanks. Can you recommend a channel? Working on a twitter client and I want to sniff my network data on a separate box just so it's out of the way. Probably too much work to be worth it.
[05:01] <slaeya> *nix questions are not my forte, I'm still learning.  Windows environment is where I believe I thrive
[05:01] <Jordan_U> jrtayloriv: Is there a reason you need to know?
[05:01] <cl3tUs> egarff, I know :D  I don't even know where to start.  I think I'll get the Linux for dummies and read this LPI thing.
[05:01] <BestKeptSecret> slaeya, windows smindows
[05:01] <cl3tUs> I'll start with dummies.
[05:01] <ayecee> wjlafrance-desk: sorry, none come to mind.
[05:01] <jrtayloriv> Jordan_U, Yes. I'd like to wipe out the recovery partition, but not break my Windows system
[05:01] <slaeya> BestKeptSecret, yes I do understand hence the slow transition!
[05:01] <egarff> cl3tUs: I hope for much knowledge for you!
[05:02] <BestKeptSecret> slaeya, *nix just has a certain beauty to it...
[05:02] <jrtayloriv> And I was wondering why it was marked bootable, but neither of the other two were.
[05:02] <BestKeptSecret> it's actually fun
[05:02] <Rigadoog> Hi, i need help getting my linksys usb adapter to work in ubuntu
[05:02] <cl3tUs> BestKeptSecret, We got some new windows :D  Windows  USA talk about good windows...pushy salesmen.  The lady calls me like every other day to see if I got potential customers...
[05:02] <jrtayloriv> That's what made me worried about wiping it
[05:02] <FlexGuy> anybody can help or give me a channel for drbd help ? another than brdb..
[05:02] <oscargotCLI> Hello, can anyone help me recover my GUi on ubuntu?
[05:02] <wjlafrance-desk> ayecee, thanks anyhow :)
[05:02] <cl3tUs> egarff, I pray the same for you.  Many thanks.  I love coming into a room and meeting nice people.
[05:02] <Jordan_U> jrtayloriv: "sudo os-propber" should give you a good idea what partitions contain what, but it's not perfect.
[05:02] <slaeya> jrtayloriv: you will notice there is probably a switch in BIOS where you can turn D2D or recovery partitions on etc which will be triggered by a function or F key.
[05:02] <mickster04> oscargotCLI: details please
[05:02] <egarff> cl3tUs: I tire of the 'nerd', RTFM mentality.
[05:03] <Rigadoog> Hi, i need help getting my linksys usb adapter to work in ubuntu
[05:03] <ayecee> wjlafrance-desk: I don't suppose you have a managed switch, eh? those can often be configured for port mirroring.
[05:03] <cl3tUs> RTFM?
[05:03] <BestKeptSecret> egarff, lol... same
[05:03] <BestKeptSecret> cl3tus, read the flucking manual
[05:03] <egarff> cl3tUs: read the f'ing manual
[05:03] <slaeya> LOLOLOLOL
[05:03] <Rigadoog> Hi, i need help getting my linksys usb adapter to work in ubuntu
[05:03] <egarff> cl3tUs: those that get upset when people ask questions...
[05:03] <mickster04> !rtfm
[05:03] <wjlafrance-desk> ayecee, just a cheapo SMC.
[05:03] <oscargotCLI> mickster04: I just installed the Ubuntu netbook remix edition on my netbook and there was no GUI or Wireless, ive recoveredt he Wireless now I believe but there is still no gui
[05:04] <jrtayloriv> slaeya, Actually, I just found what the 100MB partition was: http://itcookbook.net/blog/removing-windows-7-recovery-partition
[05:04] <cl3tUs> You know...I get asked questions all the time at my work.
[05:04] <BestKeptSecret> egarff, freebsd is full of those
[05:04] <Rigadoog> Hi, i need help getting my linksys usb adapter to work in ubuntu
[05:04] <wjlafrance-desk> BestKeptSecret, I'm thinking of a word that starts with f and ends with uck. Five year old answers, "Firetruck!"
[05:04] <cl3tUs> One tech calls me for help between 0 and 30 times a day.
[05:04] <egarff> cl3tUs, BestKeptSecret, Linux will never win if people act like jerks.
[05:04] <slaeya> Rigadoog: a model numberalways helps.   lsusb in terminal
[05:04] <mickster04> oscargotCLI: how did you install it, sounds like the cd image was not complete
[05:04] <ayecee> Rigadoog: you would get more help if you described the problem.
[05:04] <cl3tUs> recently, he asked me, "Where is device manager?"
[05:04] <BestKeptSecret> egarff, you should relay that to all the other linux distros
[05:04] <wjlafrance-desk> !chrome > wjlafrance-desk
[05:04] <mickster04> !ot
[05:04] <cl3tUs> I politely walked him through it.    Accept it.  I am in the same boat.  There's no reason for hostility when in the pursuit of knowledge.
[05:05] <Rigadoog> and it works fine in windows 7 right now
[05:05] <egarff> mickster04: you're right, sorry....
[05:05] <cl3tUs> egarff, You should go in a windows server room...omg.  Some real characters there...
[05:05] <mickster04> oscargotCLI: did you md5 the image first?
[05:05] <BestKeptSecret> cl3tus, what do you mean? accept what?
[05:05] <BestKeptSecret> and nothing compared to many people? what do you mean by that?
[05:05] <egarff> cl3tUs, BestKeptSecret - mickster04 is right, we're off-topic.
[05:06] <BestKeptSecret> I think I'm something compared to a greater amount
[05:06] <cl3tUs> BestKeptSecret, no matter how good you are at something, there is always someone better.  RTFM is not a nice thing to tell someone.
[05:06] <ayecee> Rigadoog: by "complete shit", do you mean it connects, but easily loses connectivity?
[05:06] <oscargotCLI> mickster04: no I did not :(
[05:06] <mickster04> oscargotCLI: try that, you may find it was not complete
[05:06] <Rigadoog> it says it connects, but it cant open a webpage
[05:06] <BestKeptSecret> cl3tus, RTFM!
[05:06] <egarff> I'm stepping away anyway... take care all.
[05:06] <Rigadoog> or it will open like one webpage in 5 mins
[05:06] <rypervenche> mickster04: How does one md5 an image? I have yet to learn that.
[05:06] <mickster04> oscargotCLI: did you do the "try it without making changes" option?
[05:06] <BestKeptSecret> egarff, cya
[05:06] <mickster04> !md5
[05:06] <rypervenche> mickster04: Thankies.
[05:06] <cl3tUs> BestKeptSecret, I will, someeday.  Until then, I'll stick with the pros.  They wrote the FM.
[05:07] <oscargotCLI> mickster04: doesn't that option just run it off the Live CD? The Gui worked fine in the Live CD
[05:07] <slaeya> Rigadoog, TBH I was going to point you in the direction of ndiswrapper
[05:07] <oscargotCLI> mickster04: err liveUSB*
[05:07] <Rigadoog> what do i do with that
[05:07] <ayecee> Rigadoog: takes a long time, or literally 5 minutes?
[05:07] <Rigadoog> literally 5 mins
[05:07] <Rigadoog> it fails to load pages a lot
[05:07] <Rigadoog> its unusuable
[05:08] <mickster04> oscargotCLI: yeah, if you tried that then i am unsure as to why it wouldn't install properly
[05:08] <ayecee> Rigadoog: was it working better previously, or is the first time trying it in linux?
[05:08] <Rigadoog> first time
[05:08] <oscargotCLI> mickster04: Is there a command where I can update or active the video drivers? I am using intel integrated graphics
[05:08] <Rigadoog> i think its possible that i was doing ndiswrapper wrong/ using the wrong drivers
[05:08] <slaeya> Rigadoog, I take it you've had a look at this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=279447&page=2  ?
[05:09] <Rigadoog> i have not
[05:09] <mickster04> oscargotCLI: uhm not that i know of
[05:09] <ayecee> Rigadoog: I guess it's not available for testing right now, eh?
[05:09] <mickster04> oscargotCLI: try runnig" sudo service gdm restart"
[05:09] <Rigadoog> ayecee:what?
[05:10] <ayecee> Rigadoog: that is, you're in windows right now, not in linux, so if I suggest some troubleshooting, you couldn't do it without rebooting.
[05:10] <AegNuddel> Is there any 3d landscape software for Ubuntu?
[05:10] <Rigadoog> yea
[05:10] <oscargotCLI> mickster04: it says unknown instance, if I try to use startx it will start the GUI and then will give me a blank screen for a bit
[05:10] <Rigadoog> seems like these guys in the forum have it installed, ill give it a try and come back if it doesnt work
[05:10] <Rigadoog> have it figured out*
[05:10] <ayecee> ok
[05:11] <oscargotCLI> mickster04: I'd have to REISUB out of it, and also, sometimes I end up with a GUI panel actually, but that just tells me that im in Low graphics mode, and it won't let me reconfigure or anything
[05:11] <dylanjuran> hello
[05:11] <slaeya> mickster04:  I'm about to install windows 7 on virtualbox.  What would you recommend assigning to windows 7 (ram and CPU wise)
[05:11] <egarff> oscargotCLI: you could move your /etc/X11/xorg.conf to a backup and try it without the xorg.conf and see if it works.
[05:11] <egarff> oscargotCLI: just a thought, I'm off again.
[05:11] <dylanjuran> im trying to open my files for viewing to a mac on the same network. anyone know how i would go about this?
[05:12] <oscargotCLI> egarff: I'll try that, brb
[05:12] <dylanjuran> im in xubuntu 10.10
[05:12] <mickster04> slaeya: i wouldn't :p
[05:13] <slaeya> hahaha yes but at the moment I can't find a decent solution for the application I have written in MS Access.
[05:13] <slaeya> 8gb 2 cores (4 threads) ?
[05:13] <slaeya> which will leave the same for ubuntu
[05:13] <slaeya> or leave more for ubuntu ?
[05:13] <rob_p> dylanjuran: Mac can view smb shares so that's probably the easiest way.
[05:14] <torchie> hello!
[05:14] <dylanjuran> how would i do that?
[05:14] <dylanjuran> thanks rob-p. how would i make them shown to finder?
[05:15] <slaeya> Dylan-sama: I would use an NFS share.
[05:15] <mickster04> slaeya: it usually will give you guidance on the doco for whatever virtual program you are using
[05:15] <kandinski> I am looking for a graphical intefrace to fontconfig I once used
[05:15] <kandinski> I am sure it was in ubuntu some years ago
[05:15] <slaeya> mickster04: it just tells me not to assign more than 50% ... because it could cause issues on the host machine (in this case ubuntu)
[05:15] <torchie> I'm on a windows 7 machine with a 230GB windows NTFS partition and an HP recovery partition, and the installer only gives me the 11 GB otherwise.
[05:15] <torchie> How do you resize an NTFS partition in the installer?
[05:15] <dylanjuran> slaeya : how would i set up my xubuntu to do that?
[05:15] <torchie> or would I have to go out of the installer?
[05:16] <oscargotCLI> egarff: It did not work T_T_T_T
[05:16] <rypervenche> torchie: You can use GParted in from the liveCD
[05:16] <torchie> do I open that from terminal?
[05:16] <rob_p> dylanjuran: If you install samba and configure it properly, they will be available via that protocol.  If you want more seamless integration with Mac, you could install netatalk and bonjour.  After that and some careful configuration, your Windows shares will show up in the Finder sidebar.
[05:17] <samsamsupersam> you can resize the NTFS partition from windows, then format the unpartitioned space in the installer
[05:17] <torchie> but then I have to go back into windows and I was enjoying myself so much :(
[05:17] <slaeya> torchie: you should have a partition manager under advanced settings once you click install UBUNTU on the liveCD / liveUSB
[05:17] <rypervenche> torchie: No, it's under "System" "Administration" I think.
[05:17] <torchie> ah i see it
[05:18] <torchie> wow a lot has changed since I last tried on... 9.04 I believe?
[05:18] <rypervenche> torchie: I believe you can drag it to the appropriate size, as well as type in the size you want.
[05:18] <dylanjuran> thanks rob_p
[05:18] <mickster04> slaeya: well then assign no more than 50%
[05:18] <torchie> and I was pleasantly surprised to find that the volume control works with this dv6700's silly capacitive media controls
[05:19] <slaeya> mickster04: I don't think they were referring to people that had ample ram ?
[05:19] <rob_p> dylanjuran: Actually, if I remember correctly, avahi when properly configured, gives you what bonjour does, at least in that regard. Anyway, good luck.  :)
[05:19] <mickster04> slaeya: well ubuntu will want a couple of Gb if you have 8 :p
[05:19] <dylanjuran> thanks rob_p: any possible links you might have to help?
[05:20] <slaeya> i have 16gb
[05:20] <mickster04> slaeya: try at 50% and see what happens to ubunutu
[05:20] <oscargotCLI> mickster04: Is there a way to check the error logs when I try to start up the gui?
[05:20] <mickster04> 's usage
[05:20] <mickster04> oscargotCLI: not sure...i can't remember where they are, /var/logs?
[05:20] <slaeya> mickster04: ill let you know soon then
[05:20] <j2cool> someone please tell me why compiz will not activate
[05:21] <rob_p> dylanjuran: I think if you put, "afp linux bonjour" into a Google search, it should yield you some useful results.
[05:21] <ayecee> j2cool: maybe it encountered an error
[05:21] <mickster04> j2cool: you don't have a white-listed graphics card probably
[05:21] <torchie> Resize/Move button is grayed out in the resize dialog?
[05:21] <offsens10> what is your choice for web editor in ubuntu? i need some suggestion*
[05:22] <Jordan_U> !html | offsens10
[05:22] <rypervenche> torchie: You may need to mount or unmount the partition.
[05:22] <j2cool> it's an Nvidia gEforce 9500 GT, and they worked before
[05:22] <j2cool> now i don't know how to activate them in 11.04
[05:22] <j2cool> please help me; ubuntu is too sexy for this
[05:23] <rob_p> dylanjuran: It's been a couple of years since I configured a Linux box to advertise file shares to my Macs, so the details are a bit fuzzy!  :)
[05:23] <rypervenche> j2cool: Wait until release?
[05:23] <Jordan_U> j2cool: #ubuntu+1 for 11.04
[05:23] <ayecee> j2cool: 11.04 is not supported here, but rather in #ubuntu+1. However, maybe it's because 11.04 uses the nouveau driver instead of nvidia's driver by default.
[05:23] <abiss27> how do I use Empathy IM it keeps saying that my nickname is not registered
[05:24] <Jordan_U> !register | abiss27
[05:24] <abiss27> how to do it??
[05:24] <abiss27> ok thanks
[05:24] <Jordan_U> abiss27: I'd recommend using a dedicated IRC client for IRC though. Most generic chat clients are pretty poor at IRC.
[05:24] <dylanjuran> thanks a lot rob_p!
[05:24] <abiss27> thanks very much guys
[05:24] <rob_p> dylanjuran: Welcome!
[05:25] <Jordan_U> abiss27: You're welcome.
[05:25] <oscargotCLI> mickster04: I found something, it says something about not being able to find a kernel modesetting driver,  and the fatal error is "no screens found", would you happen to know anything about this? I can try putting this on the forum if it is too much a hassle for you to help T_T
[05:25] <slaeya> resizing partition ... how many times have i heard that
[05:26] <mickster04> oscargotCLI: i dunno about that.
[05:26] <torchie> wait so do I mount it or unmount it before resizing?
[05:26] <torchie> I'd imagine unmount but I think it's unmounted already...
[05:26] <oscargotCLI> mickster04: That's okay, thank you so much for your help anyway :D
[05:26] <oscargotCLI> :q
[05:26] <oscargotCLI> :q
[05:26] <ayecee> torchie: i'm pretty sure that gparted would complain loudly if it was mounted
[05:26] <noisewaterphd> abiss27: I highly recommend Konversation, even if you are running gnome its a really good client
[05:26] <torchie> alright so it's unmounted
[05:26] <torchie> there's an exclamation by it
[05:27] <torchie> list of warnings is so large I can't read the whole thing
[05:27] <torchie> yeah it's definitely not mounted
[05:27] <torchie> lots of failed cluster accounting
[05:27] <abiss27> thanks will have a look at it
[05:28] <noisewaterphd> does anyone here have a recommend for a good video editor that does AVCHD? I'm trying out open shot, and its not really that great IMO. Is their anything as polished as iMovie for Linux? I don't need anything super fancy.
[05:28] <torchie> ah curses/
[05:28] <torchie> curses.
[05:28] <torchie> I have to get back into win7 and do a chkdsk
[05:28] <torchie> ;-;
[05:28] <FloodBot2> torchie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:28] <FloodBot1> torchie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:29] <noisewaterphd> Anyone else noticed the floodbot has a hair trigger lately?
[05:29] <torchie> I've been struggling all day to get the ethernet to work on windows 7 and I boot up the 11.04 liveCD and get it up and running in 5 minutes
[05:29] <torchie> figures
[05:29] <ray24> I'm being hacked by one of the admins of ubuntu
[05:30] <noisewaterphd> ray24: what makes you think that
[05:30] <rww> noisewaterphd: I've noticed that freenode and/or one of the FloodBots has been laggy. That's probably causing the issue you think you're seeing.
[05:30] <samsamsupersam> torchie: I know what you mean. setting up wireless internet on my campus takes 20 minutes in windows and 20 seconds in ubuntu
[05:30] <an0maly-> register temp<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[05:30] <noisewaterphd> rww: it just hit torchie, and he didnt do anything to warrant it
[05:30] <rww> an0maly-: you forgot /msg nickserv
[05:31] <slaeya> well an0maly I suggest you use a different password now
[05:31] <rww> noisewaterphd: If I had to guess, I'd say they lagged and got those four lines in a row at the same time.
[05:31] <ray24> rww = suspected hacker
[05:31] <an0maly-> slaeya, rww, :D
[05:31] <slaeya> ;)
[05:31] <noisewaterphd> rww: oh, gotcha
[05:32] <noisewaterphd> ray24: evidence?
[05:32] <ruan> if i upgrade to natty, will i lose my home dir if it's not on a different partition?
[05:32] <AegNuddel> ruan, NO...
[05:32] <rww> ruan: Theoretically not. You should make backups and use #ubuntu+1 for natty support ;)
[05:32] <ray24> I know it's rww
[05:33] <noisewaterphd> ray24: I'm not meaning to doubt you, I've just dealt with many people who are dead certain they are being hacked, when really there is a valid explanation for what they are seeing
[05:33] <rww> ruan: also, standard disclaimer about natty being unreleased and not stable.
[05:33] <ruan> yeah ik
[05:33] <ruan> not upgrading now.
[05:33] <ruan> just when it's released.
[05:33] <ruan> or some time after it's released
[05:33] <noisewaterphd> rww: ya, I'd love to play with it, but I can't even get it to install, upgrade or clean inst
[05:34]  * slaeya waits for the virtualbox to make the new drive allocation.
[05:34] <noisewaterphd> id really like to check out unity, im not too sold on the idea, but I'd like to give it a test drive before i make the decision to go with shell
[05:35] <rypervenche> noisewaterphd: I'm afraid of both Unity and Gnome 3 :(
[05:35] <slaeya> anyone know a good stress test for a linux system ?
[05:35] <ruan> slaeya: there is one
[05:35] <ruan> let me check repos
[05:36] <noisewaterphd> rypervenche: ya, and I'm not a KDE fan. I might have to try a different window system soon
[05:36] <rypervenche> noisewaterphd: ditto :( Let me know if you find any good ones :/
[05:36] <ruan> !info stressapptest
[05:37] <slaeya> ruan: apt-get install stressapptest ?
[05:37] <ruan> slaeya: yeah with sudo
[05:37] <linux-noob> hey what do you think of this code could it be done better? http://paste.ubuntu.com/590044/
[05:37] <slaeya> ruan: thanks sudo su is my first command ..... ALWAYS  LOL
[05:37] <noisewaterphd> slaeya: what in particular are you trying to test? Is it a server? CPU? Video performance?
[05:37] <slaeya> I'm good at breaking things
[05:38] <ruan> slaeya: just don't sudo for _everything_. only when it appears to 'need permission'
[05:38] <slaeya> well im just running ubuntu 10.10 desktop ... I just want to test my whole pc.
[05:38] <slaeya> like a benchmark moreso than stresstest
[05:38] <ruan> ok.
[05:38] <AegNuddel> night
[05:39] <slaeya> noisewaterphd: benchmark would have been a better choice of words
[05:39] <noisewaterphd> slaeya: well, ther is the 'System Test' app already bundled with ubuntu that will just show you some all around general numbers
[05:39] <ruan> there are benchmarks for OpenGL if you're seeking to test graphics
[05:40] <slaeya> noisewaterphd: will that show under load etc ?
[05:40] <ruan> !info glmark2
[05:41] <Rigadoog> hi again i was here before asking about linksys wusb54gc
[05:41] <noisewaterphd> slaeya: don't really remember, but i know it benchmarks your drives, video, cpu etc..., it should already be installed in your 'System' menu, fire it up and see if you like it
[05:42] <slaeya> noisewaterphd: I'm guessing your talking about system testing
[05:42] <Rigadoog> can anybody help me with linksys wusb54gc
[05:42] <noisewaterphd> slaeya: ya
[05:42] <slaeya> Rigadoog: how'd you go with that tutorial
[05:42] <Rigadoog> it didnt work for me, i got confused
[05:42] <Rigadoog> im really really new to linksys
[05:43] <Rigadoog> im following this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3127959
[05:43] <slaeya> Rigadoog, at what point did you get confused ?
[05:43] <Rigadoog> and i dont know what he means by cd'ing something
[05:43] <Rigadoog> i dont know what he means by cd'ing something
[05:43] <slaeya> ok I have to restart to finish installing updates ... I'll be back soon
[05:43] <Rigadoog> =/
[05:44] <slaeya> Rigadoog, CD = change dir
[05:44] <Rigadoog> how do i do that
[05:44] <ruan> type cd [dir]
[05:44] <TheLifelessOne> Anyone how how to configure proftpd to allow me to modify file within /var/www?
[05:44] <Rigadoog> and then what
[05:44] <slaeya> Rigadoog, you need to use terminal
[05:44] <Rigadoog> i know
[05:44] <rypervenche> Rigadoog: type "cd" by itself to go to your home directory. Type "cd Desktop" to go to your desktop folder, etc.
[05:44] <slaeya> so whatever the file you downloaded extracted to ... you have to cd (change directory) to there
[05:45] <Rigadoog> i typed that in and it gave me some kind of error
[05:45] <ruan> Rigadoog: just type what is in the Code boxes
[05:45] <Rigadoog> o
[05:45] <Rigadoog> wait should i put the file in my root?
[05:45] <slaeya> Rigadoog, for example you've downloaded wusb54gc.tar.gz, you need to extract this (it could be anywhere on your pc)
[05:45] <ruan> Rigadoog: anywhere, just cd to it
[05:45] <ruan> Rigadoog: where did you extract it to?
[05:45] <slaeya> Rigadoog, then change dir (in terminal) to that location then follow the rest of the commands they provide
[05:45] <Rigadoog> alright
[05:45] <Rigadoog> got it
[05:45] <Rigadoog> ill try again
[05:46] <slaeya> ok
[05:46] <noisewaterphd> slaeya: oh ya, hardinfo is probably more what you are after. sudo apt-get install hardinfo
[05:46] <ruan> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/LinksysWUSB54GC
[05:47] <ruan> yeah.
[05:47] <slaeya> installing now noise ... thanks
[05:47] <slaeya> ok ... back in 5 going to benchmark
[05:47] <c00lryguy> Anyone know how i could install libasound on natty?
[05:48] <ruan> c00lryguy: ask in #ubuntu+1
[05:48] <ruan> !info natty libasound
[05:48] <c00lryguy> thanks
[05:48] <mykal> Evening all. anyone ever had need to edit an AVI tag under ubuntu, know of a tool to do so
[05:48] <ruan> !info libasound natty
[05:48] <ruan> right.
[05:49] <c00lryguy> yeah a ruby library I want to use depends on it
[05:49] <Magnusson> can someone help me with modding my desktop? i'm using kubuntu and kde, but would like to use GDM as my login manager, and some gtk themes
[05:50] <mykal> Magnusson, i would recommend picking one or the other
[05:50] <slaeya> noisewaterphd: a benchmark in 20 seconds seems a little lame ?
[05:51] <Magnusson> mykal> it should be possible, i had it set up on my box a few years ago, but just came back to linux so i'm not sure about the changes
[05:53] <noisewaterphd> slaeya: oh, sorry. I don't have it actually, nor have i used it in a long time. that might not be the one im thinking of. I'll break out google and find the one I'm remembering
[05:54] <Guest27064> Hi, can anyone help me with this error " Can't contact LDAP server (-1) for user"
[05:54] <noisewaterphd> Guest27064: it will help a lot if you tell us exactly what you are doing when you get the error
[05:56] <noisewaterphd> slaeya: check out lbs, linux benchmarking suite. that is the one I was thinking of i believe
[05:57] <slaeya> noisewaterphd: thankyou
[05:57] <slaeya> I'm about to install windows in Virtualbox .... I'll see how long it takes from now
[05:58] <slaeya> haha that failed miserabley
[06:00] <noisewaterphd> slaeya: I'm going to get lynched for saying this, but I think the free vmware player is better than virtualbox. I like my vm's to be fullscreened with dual monitors, and then I keep them in a seperate workspace. that way ctrl-1 gets me linux, ctrl-2 gets me win7 and so on. and try as i might, I can not get virtualbox to fullscreen on multiple monitors porperly, whereas on vmware it 'just works'
[06:00] <noisewaterphd> so check out vmware player
[06:01] <icedtea> what exact kernel version is natty running?
[06:01] <noisewaterphd> .38?
[06:01] <noisewaterphd> icedtea: ya its 2.6.38, i just double checked
[06:03] <Rigadoog> alright i did all that shit and it said command not found
[06:03] <Rigadoog> this is getting really annoying
[06:03] <icedtea> computers are annoying sometimes ;)
[06:03] <Rigadoog> you bet
[06:03] <ruan> Rigadoog: which command?
[06:03] <Rigadoog> sudo ./wireless
[06:04] <ruan> Rigadoog: what happens if you do sudo -i  then ./wireless ?
[06:04] <Rigadoog> i have no idea
[06:04] <Rigadoog> i have to reboot to try it
[06:04] <rypervenche> Rigadoog: What guide are you following?
[06:04] <Rigadoog> sec
[06:04] <Rigadoog> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3127959
[06:06] <et_> My GDM config file is nowhere to be found. Any ideas how it works? I need to configure GDM via the terminal
[06:06] <Rigadoog> anyone have an answer?
[06:06] <ruan> Rigadoog: reboot and do that command
[06:07] <Rigadoog> =(
[06:07] <ruan> Rigadoog: why do you have to reboot anyway
[06:07] <Rigadoog> well
[06:07] <Rigadoog> im trying to install my usb adapter
[06:07] <Rigadoog> which is how i connect wirelessly
[06:07] <Rigadoog> and i cant connect w/o it
[06:07] <Rigadoog> thats why
[06:08] <Rigadoog> i can run it on win7 but not linux
[06:10] <dongdong> speak english??
[06:12] <ruan> yes
[06:13] <flopex> hi, has anyone tried kazam under 11.04?
[06:15] <Rigadoog> hello, was someone helping me?
[06:15] <Rigadoog> it said no such file or directory
[06:15] <rypervenche> Rigadoog: Hey, I'm looking at it now.
[06:16] <rypervenche> Rigadoog: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[06:16] <Rigadoog> 4.10 i think
[06:16] <ruan> !version
[06:16] <Rigadoog> i dont think that works in win7
[06:16] <ruan> Rigadoog: in ubuntu..
[06:16] <slaeya> so .... apparently you have to say your params for virtualbox !!!! if you are running x64
[06:16] <Rigadoog> i cant go on the internet while on ubuntu as i have stated previously
[06:17] <ruan> oh ok
[06:17] <slaeya> Rigadoog: do you have a lan cable ?
[06:17] <Rigadoog> no idea
[06:17] <slaeya> network cable that you can plug into your machine instead of wireless ?
[06:17] <Rigadoog> i dont think so and my router is a floor below me
[06:17] <Rigadoog> so i cant do it without wireless
[06:18] <slaeya> where did you get upto with the walkthrough on fixing your wireless adapter ?
[06:18] <Rigadoog> its v 10.10
[06:18] <rypervenche> Rigadoog: Ummmm, I would hope you mean 10.04
[06:18] <rypervenche> Rigadoog: Ok
[06:18] <Rigadoog> i got to sudo ./wireless
[06:18] <slaeya> paste the tut again pls
[06:18] <Rigadoog> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3127959
[06:18] <rypervenche> Rigadoog: This guide is written for an older version of Ubuntu, so we may need to make some changes.
[06:18] <Rigadoog> ok
[06:18] <rypervenche> Rigadoog: What happens when you type "sudo ./wireless" ?
[06:19] <Rigadoog> it says no such file or directory
[06:19] <Rigadoog> wait
[06:19] <Rigadoog> it says invalid command or something
[06:19] <Rigadoog> sudo -i made it say no such file or directory
[06:19] <rypervenche> OH
[06:19] <rypervenche> You aren't extracting it I bet.
[06:19] <Rigadoog> yea
[06:19] <Rigadoog> i thought it didnt want it to
[06:19] <Rigadoog> cuz i looked at the wireless file
[06:19] <slaeya> tar -zxvf filename
[06:20] <Rigadoog> and it said the tar.something file
[06:20] <rypervenche> Rigadoog: Ok, let's make this simple then :)
[06:20] <Rigadoog> so i thought it was using the unextracted
[06:20] <Rigadoog> also im not an idiot i know to usually extract things
[06:20] <Rigadoog> lol
[06:20] <rypervenche> Rigadoog: So you extracted the tar.bz file then?
[06:20] <slaeya> tar -zxvf wusb54gc.tar.gz
[06:20] <Rigadoog> slaeya- no idea what your saying
[06:20] <Rigadoog> ryper- yes i did before and when i tried to do it it didnt work
[06:20] <Rigadoog> i could try again
[06:21] <rypervenche> slaeya: Let's keep it weasy for riga :P
[06:21] <slaeya> rypervenche, yeah you got it
[06:21] <nit-wit> lol
[06:21] <Rigadoog> =/
[06:21] <rypervenche> Rigadoog: Ok, so let's make this simple.  Shall we continue this in a private chat maybe? So we don't spam people here.
[06:22] <Rigadoog> sounds good
[06:23] <leapy0yo> hi
[06:24] <leapy0yo> for disk partitions is it common for a small one that has the master boot information to be labelled a "system" partition? otherwise what does that mean for a partition to be marked that
[06:24] <leapy0yo> for disk partitions is it common for a small one that has the master boot information to be labelled a "system" partition? otherwise what does that mean for a partition to be marked that
[06:25] <mykal> anyone here know why it ubuntu would have to create the properties window for a file everytime i open it, when others do it quickly? so far it is the only discernable difference between videos that play via twonky server, and those that are not detected
[06:26] <raido> leapy0yo: by default the MBR is installed in the forst 512 bytes of the disk, not in a partition.
[06:27] <TheLifelessOne> How can I give two users ownership over a folder, and all of it's existing (and future) sub-folders/files?
[06:27] <littlebobby> well, ok, ack-grep works just fine... it just needs a good .ackrc :-)
[06:27] <devo> TheLifelessOne, how depressing.
[06:27] <mykal> leapy0yo, MBR - master boot record http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record
[06:27] <TheLifelessOne> devo: how so?
[06:28] <devo> (not in any relation to your question, but rather the name)
[06:28] <userdel> is there any command to check who are connected to wireless network
[06:28] <TheLifelessOne> Oh. Right.
[06:28] <TheLifelessOne> Anyways.
[06:28] <TheLifelessOne> Does anyone know how I can do this?
[06:29] <mykal> userdel, that will be in your wireless routers interface
[06:29] <s3r3n1t7> TheLifelessOne, set a group with proper permissions and make both users part of this group
[06:29] <raido> TheLifelessOne: Maks a new group that only they belong to
[06:29] <devo> TheLifelessOne, in short, you can't, you can only let multiple users be in the group that owns it (and then set the appropriate group perms)
[06:29] <TheLifelessOne> Okay. How can I add a user to the group then?
[06:29] <raido> TheLifelessOne: then set the GID bit on that dir and make it owned by that group
[06:29] <s3r3n1t7> TheLifelessOne, sudo adduser username groupname
[06:30] <devo> TheLifelessOne, adduser <username> <groupname>
[06:30] <raido> addsuer groupname username
[06:30] <TheLifelessOne> Alright, thanks
[06:30] <Jordan_U> leapy0yo: The system partition is a partition required for Windows Vista/7 to boot.
[06:31] <mykal> userdel, other than that, if you want to get tricky, google 'nmap'
[06:31] <TheLifelessOne> How can I figure out the group that currently has ownership over the folder?
[06:31] <noisewaterphd> ls -a
[06:31] <TheLifelessOne> thanks
[06:31] <noisewaterphd> wait
[06:31] <noisewaterphd> ll
[06:31] <TheLifelessOne> Heh. Thanks again. :D
[06:32] <devo> TheLifelessOne, noisewaterphd: it's ls -l, which is what ll is short for, but ll is only an alias, and it isn't setup by default on all (most?) distros
[06:33] <TheLifelessOne> Alright.
[06:33] <TheLifelessOne> Well it seems adding the user to the group didn't work anyways.
[06:33] <noisewaterphd> ll is good to go on any major distro
[06:33] <devo> TheLifelessOne, what are the full perms?
[06:33] <TheLifelessOne> devo: Not sure what you mean.
[06:33] <devo> noisewaterphd, debian doesn't have it.
[06:34] <devo> TheLifelessOne, ls -l  (paste the part that looks somewhat like  drwxr-x---)
[06:34] <TheLifelessOne> Alright, just a moment.
[06:34] <noisewaterphd> works on my deb box, and i certainly didnt do it
[06:34] <TheLifelessOne> drwxr-xr-x
[06:35] <devo> TheLifelessOne, chmod g+w <dir_name>
[06:35] <VE2EBP> XMARKS.COM: Anyone know why we get the 'an error occured' when attempting to synchronize the bookmarks?
[06:35] <noisewaterphd> so debian, redhat, fedora, centos, ubuntu, and suse all have it ready to go
[06:35] <devo> noisewaterphd, I boot strap deb, so you may have a nicer /etc/skell than I do.
[06:35] <TheLifelessOne> devo: Didn't work.
[06:35] <devo> noisewaterphd, ok, so you win.
[06:35] <noisewaterphd> very possible
[06:36] <eamon> ls -l
[06:36] <devo> TheLifelessOne, why?  did it give an error?
[06:36] <eamon> works on gentoo
[06:36] <userdel> thanks mykal
[06:36] <TheLifelessOne> No, I'm trying to give an FTP user access to read/write files to a sub-folder of /var/www
[06:36] <devo> TheLifelessOne: eamon's right, just paste a full ls -l
[06:36] <TheLifelessOne> Alright, just a moment.
[06:37] <eamon> alias ll='ls -l' in ~/.bashconf.rc also works in gentoo
[06:37] <eamon> I'm sure it works in ubuntu too

[06:39] <JustinM> I knew it was something stupid like that. Now I feel like a tool. :P
[06:39] <eamon> dom___: try unmounting it then remounting it. "unmount /dev/sdx" "mount /dev/sdx /mnt/mountpoint"
[06:39] <dom___> eamon: it is automatically mounted, but i cant unmount it. even umount using root cant do it
[06:39] <raido> JustinM: Nah, its not obvious
[06:39] <eamon> dom___: why can't you unmount it?
[06:39] <JustinM> raido: it definitely is when you say it. :P It's not obscure or anything. IN fact, I now recall setting it to do that. At the time I thought it was a good plan. I was wrong.
[06:39] <devo> TheLifelessOne, change the owners from root to you're ftp user.
[06:40] <eamon> dom___: there's something accessing it. kill the process accessing it
[06:40] <noisewaterphd> dom___: if you right click the drive icon and select safely remove media does it unmount?
[06:40] <JustinM> About that, that doesn't stop anything that's working does it? Such as instant message programs? It seems as if it's been doing that to me.
[06:40] <raido> JustinM: lol
[06:40] <devo> TheLifelessOne, I gotta go, the others can help you though, or try ##linux
[06:40] <TheLifelessOne> Alright
[06:40] <TheLifelessOne> Thanks for the help. :D
[06:40] <VE2EBP> How can I find where my xmarks folder is located?
[06:40] <eamon> dom___: iotop | grep sdx to see what's accessing it
[06:40] <noisewaterphd> dom___: ive had ubuntu not unmount drives with umount or the little eject button before, and the right click worked for some reason
[06:40] <dom___> i cant
[06:41] <dom___> it give me DbusError or some sort
[06:41] <eamon> dom___: then kill PID to kill it
[06:41] <dom___> okay
[06:41] <raido> JustinM: I can help u
[06:41] <eamon> dom___: replace sdx with you drive name
[06:41] <noisewaterphd> dom___: can you copy a large file off of the removable to your internal?
[06:41] <raido> JustinM: doh, wrong person
[06:41] <raido> TheLifelessOne: I can help u
[06:41] <JustinM> raido: I don't have too much time, bed is calling, I was just wondering if that is something that happens? I've turned the screen saver off now, so I think it'll fix the issue.
[06:41] <TheLifelessOne> raido: Okay
[06:42] <eamon> dom___: fdisk -ls to see your drive name
[06:42] <noisewaterphd> dom___: it sounds kind of like a stuck process, possibly from corruption
[06:42] <JustinM> Well, thanks for the prompt response Raido, I gotta be gettin'.
[06:42] <TheLifelessOne> raido: I'm trying to give a user I created access to /var/www through FTP (vsftpd), while still retaining the current owner so that PHP can properly execute the files.
