[00:00] <nellmathew> hey guys, anyone know if there is a difference between debian minimal netinstall vs ubuntu minimal netinstall (only xorg, wm, ect)?.. since both are debian based (other than the sources)
[00:01] <StevenX> How do the command prompt to print something to a file (after the results are already on the screen)?
[00:02] <erUSUL> StevenX: rerun the command redirecting output to a file ?
[00:03] <StevenX> erUSUL: It's a very CPU intensive process, so is there a way not to have to re-run the command?
[00:04] <erUSUL> StevenX: use a mouse to copy and paste ? GNU screen has a copy mode but plain terminal emulators do not have it afaik
[00:04] <syn-ack> nellmathew: There's quite a bit of difference
[00:04] <t0rc> Is there a way to make the virtual consoles have a nice background, etc. as seen in SUSE or mandriva?
[00:05] <Real_Ubot> blakkheim: Ok, I have don this: scp -r /home/username1/cat/ username2@host1:/home/username2/cat/ and then in the other direction scp -r /home/username2/cat/ username1@host2:/home/username1/cat/

[00:05] <datz> can someone help me with this?
[00:06] <datz> the only way I've been able to resolve this is to login remotly, and manually stop gdm

[00:08] <jmcantrell> if i wanted to be able to access other machines on my network by hostname without adding them to /etc/hosts, is that something that would have to reside on the router?

[00:09] <kslen> when is the gnome-screensaver normally started? with regular application startup or is it during boot?
[00:09] <syn-ack> jmcantrell: Don't you think thats a little out of the scope of this channel and yes, erUSUL is correct
[00:09] <syn-ack> kslen: it's started as part of the list of processes to be started with X
[00:09] <erUSUL> noren: yes; but what folder are we talking about ?
[00:09] <noren> !permission
[00:09] <jmcantrell> erUSUL: yes. it appears that i can ping other machines on my network by hostname, but one is a fresh install ubuntu server that i'm unable to do this with.
[00:10] <kslen> syn-ack, /etc/init.d script?
[00:10] <syn-ack> No, the init scripts within x
[00:10] <kslen> .xinitrc or "Start-up applications" type of thing?
[00:10] <syn-ack> kslen: Xorg has its only list of "init scripts" so to speak
[00:10] <noren> erUSUL: i have got the ~/.lyric folder containing all my mp3 lyrics but sometime i am getting permission errors
[00:10] <syn-ack> kslen: yes
[00:10] <datz> can someone help me with my issue?
[00:11] <erUSUL> noren: ok; tha's fine
[00:11] <MarkusT> Is there a permanent way for me to enable NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS? I'm still running "echo NEW_FAIR_SLEEPERS > /sys/kernel/debug/sched_features" for months now after every reboot.
[00:11] <kslen> syn-ack, could you pastebin me your file? i removed the package a while ago but kinda miss the lock screen on suspend function
[00:12] <syn-ack> Um, no I will not pastebin that file to you
[00:12] <Real_Ubot> erUSUL: Yes, maybe. I just did this: scp -r /home/username1/cat/ username2@ip:/home/username2/cat/ where "username2" "ip" is the client user and client ip. The doesn't work but it does from client to server.
[00:12] <kslen> syn-ack, ok, the part which launches gnome-screensaver then.
[00:12] <noren> erUSUL: i want all the files and folder in that folder to have read write permission, how can i do that?? what permission my .lyric folder sud have so that all the folders and files within them have the same kind of permission
[00:12] <Real_Ubot> erUSUL: That doesn't work. But from client to server it doesn. Why?
[00:12] <datz> Hello, for some reason in the login menu, I decided to try the magnifier. Big mistake. gdm froze, now everytime I try to login it freezes at the login screen. I'm using 9.10
[00:12] <erUSUL> Real_Ubot: becouse the client does not have a server running
[00:12] <kslen> syn-ack, pardon. ment ?, not . :D
[00:13] <Real_Ubot> erUSUL: It worked before? Before I started to use keys?
[00:13] <erUSUL> noren: chmod -R 755 ~/lyrics
[00:13] <noren> thnks erUSUL
[00:14] <kslen> oh, the entry was still intact in the startup applications list, just disabled.. -.-
[00:14] <erUSUL> Real_Ubot: then maybe you have to copy the keys around ? the server key to the client? ask in #openssh
[00:14] <kslen> aparently karmic ignores .xinitrc
[00:15] <Dr_Willis> kslen:  it uses .xsession i recall. 'startx' uses .xinitrc if it exists
[00:15] <erUSUL> kslen: xinitrc is only used when you do startx.
[00:15] <kslen> righto, ty

[00:19] <Real_Ubot> erUSUL: Ok, thank you.
[00:20] <erUSUL> apipkin: maybe that bin file is not a shell script. try « chmod +x ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin && ./AdobeAIRInstaller.bin & »
[00:20] <erUSUL> Real_Ubot: no problem
[00:20] <noren> erUSUL: is that an addon for firefox

[00:27] <datz> CAPcap: I thought I noticed an option in the login screen under an icon at the bottom
[00:27] <datz> I know there is another way to access it too
[00:27] <CAPcap> i'll just check the manual and the help files online
[00:28] <CAPcap> basically i just wanted to know it was actually there

[00:30] <fission6> http://lubi.sourceforge.net/lvpm.html i am trying to follow these intstructions, i got all the way through running lvpm and it asked me to restart my machine. i did this and when i did the grub menu changed and didnt seem to have an Ubuntu options accept to boot from the Wubi install. I removed wubi from windows as the instructions described and now i am not left with any ability to but to ubuntu. I feel that i copied everything cor
[00:30] <linxeh> datz: you could try ctrl-alt-backspace (this will kill X11 and it should restart)
[00:30] <meganerd> datz: alt-f1, login, sudo service gdm restart
[00:32] <fission6> how would i edit grub to add a partition to boot from
[00:33] <Bookman> I get the following when trying to play a DVD using VLC:  Playback failure:
[00:33] <Bookman> DVDRead could not open the disc "/dev/sr0".
[00:33] <Bookman> Your input can't be opened:
[00:33] <Bookman> VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvdsimple:///dev/sr0'. Check the log for details.
[00:33] <FloodBot3> Bookman: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:34] <Bookman> Any ideas on how to solve this?
[00:34] <jeiworth> fission6: try booting from a live cd and verify what you actually have on your partitions, if everything seems correct try reinstalling grub
[00:36] <grkblood> how can i add multiple m2ts files to an AVCHD folder?
[00:36] <grkblood> can i just throw new ones in there?
[00:36] <fission6> well this is my issue, i dont have a live cd (no burner). i installed wubi got it working, then used gparted and created a new partition and swap space. then ran lvpm to move wubi to its own parition. i then rebooted went to windows and uninstalled wubi. then i rebooted and now i can no longer get into ubuntu. i feel grub is not picking up on the new partition i moved wubi/ubuntu to?
[00:38] <BlueSherpa> Is there a way to get the Ubuntu installer to see my Areca 1230 raid controller?  I found this page saying the card is supported, but it describes configuring it after the system is running http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/en/man4/arcmsr.4freebsd.html
[00:38] <daftykins> !grub | fission6
[00:39] <jeiworth> fission6: yes, it seems like that, you can, iirc, boot into grub and manually start your ubuntu from the new partition though
[00:39] <fission6> jeiworth: would you mind walking me through how id do that breifly
[00:39] <Bookman> Maybe ubuntu cannot play back modern DVD releases anymore?
[00:40] <syn-ack> sure it can
[00:40] <jeiworth> fission6: urm, yes and no, have to prepare dinner first then i can help you (wife's getting hungry) ;)
[00:40] <blakkheim> Bookman: why not rip them?
[00:40] <Bookman> blakkheim, how?
[00:40] <jeiworth> bbl
[00:40] <syn-ack> Bookman: Did you install libdvdcss2?
[00:40] <blakkheim> Bookman: handbrake is a good program for that
[00:40] <fission6> how do i get a linuix command prompt or enter the partition i transfered everything to using lvpm
[00:41] <{chmod}755> fission6, You get a shell prompt when you enter a linux environment. Unless you're looking for a GRUB shell prompt.
[00:41] <Bookman> syn-ack, how to check?  I see I have Ubuntu extras installed
[00:42] <atealtha> how can I set my laptop to type in another language? The google search resulted in instructions for 8.x and it didn't help
[00:42] <jeiworth> fission6: meanwhile, you can give this a read: http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_4.html#SEC17
[00:42] <fission6> again my issue is that i can not boot the partition after moving my wubi install over to its own partition using lvpm.
[00:42] <syn-ack> Bookman: That's not gonna do it. Go to www.mediubuntu.org and read there.
[00:43] <fission6> how do i get the grub command?
[00:43] <datz> linxeh: ctl alt backspace doesn't do anything
[00:43] <grkblood> how can i add multiple m2ts files to an AVCHD folder?
[00:43] <grkblood> help me
[00:43] <grkblood> please
[00:43] <grkblood> :(
[00:43] <nefast> atealtha, normally you should be able to change your keyboard language in System > Preferences > Keyboard?
[00:43] <syn-ack> Bookman: I'm sorry medibuntu.org
[00:43] <marc__> hi all, I have a problem and I can't find any solution in the forums:  Everytime I try to transfert files from one computer to another on my network, Nautilus crash after 4gb. doesn't matter if I transfer from NTFS to ext or even from ext to ext partition, it always crash at 4gb.
[00:43] <Bookman> syn-ack, yeah, tried that.  Could not figure out what I needed.
[00:44] <syn-ack> brb
[00:44] <atealtha> nefast: I added what I wanted there, but SCIM doesn't seem to change to the different layouts, it just shows USA
[00:44] <atealtha> nefast: I meant the keyboard layout panel applet, not SCIM
[00:45] <datz> meganerd: alt F1 doesn't do anythin either
[00:45] <nefast> Ah, that changes some things.
[00:45] <nefast> Namely, I don't know anything about that.
[00:46] <paissad> hi all, if i would like to just rsync files whose suffix is .foo from remote host to local machine, what must i do ?
[00:46] <atealtha> nefast: I just added the applet for convenience. I'd like to get this to work however
[00:46] <trism> atealtha: is this on 9.10?
[00:46] <datz> meganerd: also "sudo service gdm restart"   restart: Unknown instance:
[00:46] <atealtha> trism: yes

[00:47] <Axle> I'm trying to install an FTP on my Hardy server with permissions to access the root directory of one of my websites, so that the CMS (Joomla) can automatically install extensions for the site
[00:47] <Axle> How can I set up an FTP for this?
[00:48] <trism> atealtha: in 9.10 they are switching from SCIM to ibus, I couldn't actually get scim working correctly, but you can configure ibus by installing the input methods for your language in System/Administration/Language Support; selecting ibus as the input method and configuring ibus in System/Preferences/Ibus Preferences; then rebooting; you can start ibus with ctrl+space
[00:49] <fission6> {chmod}755: }: no, i am going to try this approach and ill be back to report my results

[00:49] <Bookman> syn-ack, I installed libdvdcss2 and still no playback.
[00:49] <fission6> what doyou think
[00:49] <FloodBot3> fission6: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:49] <atealtha> trism: thanks I'll take a look
[00:49] <{chmod}755> fission6, One moment and let me look
[00:49] <datz> meganerd: I was able to log in via ssh, but service gdm restart didn't work
[00:49] <{chmod}755> fission6, that looks good. If it doesn't work go to #linux and we'll help you there.
[00:49] <fission6> ok, cool
[00:50] <datz> can someone help me with my fozen login screen?
[00:50] <wwwbryan> Does anyone know why nexuiz glx has sound that hardly ever works and sdl always has sound and its very laggy for ubuntu? Other distros it works fine in.
[00:50] <{chmod}755> datz, What's up?
[00:50] <fission6> awesome! thanks so much {chmod}755, be back in a bit
[00:50] <{chmod}755> fission6, no worries
[00:50] <Axle> anyone have any ideas on how to set up FTP?
[00:50] <datz> {chmod}755: I tried the magnifier at the login screen and everything froze
[00:50] <NanoGuy> no
[00:50] <rascal999> I've just run screen -S tty1 and would like to be able to get back to tty0 whilst keeping irssi running, how?
[00:50] <{chmod}755> datz, Did you try a reboot?
[00:51] <datz> {chmod}755: yes
[00:51] <{chmod}755> datz, What happened?
[00:51] <datz> it tries to magnify and then freezes
[00:51] <{chmod}755> So the computer is shutting down, booting up, reaches the login screen and attempts to magnify, then freezes?
[00:51] <datz> yes
[00:52] <datz> I've logged in via ssh now
[00:52] <datz> xorg is using 100% cpu
[00:52] <Bookman> syn-ack, I'm afraid that new DVDs do not work with Ubuntu anymore.   I'm not real familiar with this issue so I'm trying to remember what all needs to be done.
[00:56] <blendmaster1024> anyone recommend a particular guide to using ndisgtk, or will any random one off of google work fine?
[00:56] <apipkin> oh no! i can't click or alt+tab to any windows...
[00:56] <datz> {chmod}755: ok, I've tried sudo service gdm stop
[00:56] <petsounds> Bookman, try this  sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[00:56] <{chmod}755> datz, You have compiz installed/running?
[00:57] <datz> {chmod}755: I would assume
[00:57] <apipkin> how do i refresh compiz ?
[00:57] <{chmod}755> datz, any success when you disable it?
[00:57] <datz> {chmod}755: not sure how would I do such?
[00:57] <kindofabuzz> how can i get add-apt-repository functionality in ubuntu server?
[00:57] <datz> {chmod}755: I guess what I'd need to do is kill gdm and restor xorg.conf
[00:58] <Bookman> petsounds, nope, still not go.
[00:58] <datz> but I can't seem to kill gdm
[00:58] <apipkin> got it :)
[00:58] <petsounds> Bookman, restart your movie player
[00:58] <unop> kindofabuzz, install the python-software-properties package
[00:58] <Bookman> petsounds, yup, did that
[00:58] <kindofabuzz> unop, thanks buddie
[00:59] <blendmaster1024> hmm .... i know this laptop has a broadcom 4306 card, but i can't see it in lspci. since i assume that's bad, what could be wrong?
[01:00] <woodyjlw> On a fresh install of ubuntu suspend and wake work great but on after a few days it will finally freeze keyboard and touchpad on a wake and I have to force restart and then every other time I try to boot I get a lid argument error and and have to reset 2 to 3 times to get back into ubuntu. is a file getting corupted ?  is it something I can fix? I dont want to keep reinstalling everytime it starts doing this really bad
[01:00] <majorjunk0> i can access the information on my HDD but cant format it and the previous OS on it wont start
[01:00] <Bookman> petsounds, I think the new encryptions are just too good.
[01:00] <remu> Hey folks, I have a Toshiba A15 which does not support booting from USB. I took out the harddrive from this laptop for other purposes, and was wondering if there is a way in which I can boot from a CD, and then use that to boot Ubuntu off of a flashdrive?
[01:01] <blendmaster1024> lol no Bookman
[01:01] <petsounds> Bookman, can you create .iso image from the dvd?
[01:01] <Bookman> blendmaster1024, Ok, any other explanation is welcomed.
[01:01] <remu> Is what I am looking for possible? ie. install grub on a cd, and use the flashdrive as the hard drive?
[01:02] <blendmaster1024> Bookman, broken libdvdcss.
[01:02] <blendmaster1024> of course.
[01:02] <ardchoille> !away > palanthas{afk}
[01:02] <woodyjlw> am I asking my question in the wrong channel? should I ask in a hardware channel.......not sure if my problem is hardware or software related
[01:02] <blendmaster1024> remu, oh yes
[01:02] <Bookman> blendmaster1024, but it was just freshly installed.
[01:03] <remu> blendmaster1024, is there a guide you would recommend?
[01:03] <blendmaster1024> Bookman, that doesn't mean *anything*.
[01:03] <Bookman> blendmaster1024, ok.
[01:03] <blendmaster1024> remu, nope. i just happen to know enough on my own that i wouldn't need a guide for that.
[01:03] <Bookman> petsounds, I have no idea how to create an iso
[01:03] <remu> blendmaster1024, hmm, alright
[01:04] <petsounds> Bookman, open Brasero > Disc Copy
[01:04] <blendmaster1024> that's badly illegal in the us, i sure hope you're nnot

[01:07] <klappi> <--- is nobody
[01:07] <petsounds> Bookman, Brasero can't read your disc? humm. i think there's a problem with your disc or rom.
[01:08] <Bookman> petsounds, yes, but older discs work just fine.
[01:08] <ultraparadigm> My bluetooth headphones have worked beautifully untill I just got my bluetooth mouse.  Now everytime I move my mouse my audio goes out.  Anyone else have this issue running two bluetooth devices at the same time?

[01:19] <rootlinuxusr> Which is more recommended - apt or aptitude?
[01:19] <rahduke> -apt
[01:19] <triple_xxx> apt-fast works about 4 times as fast as apt-get works ,but I am not a computer whizze so some one needs to figure out its actual speed
[01:20] <rahduke> someone figure out why streaming divx is so damn slow
[01:20] <CodeWar> still cant seem to be able to access my cdrom driver from 9.10
[01:20] <CodeWar> anybody?
[01:20] <triple_xxx> this link states 26 times faster then apt-get this seems to be all hype http://www.mattparnell.com/projects/apt-fast-and-axel-roughly-26x-faster-apt-get-installations-and-upgrades.html
[01:22] <triple_xxx> apt-fast uses axel which is a download acclerator I downloaded seamonkey the package for openoffice with apt-fast in about 11 to 12 seconds
[01:22] <triple_xxx> with apt-get I got seamonkeys downloaded in about 48 seconds
[01:22] <unop> rootlinuxusr,  apt is the library/platform.  aptitude is just one of many tools that uses apt as a backend.  maybe you were referring to apt-get there?
[01:22] <datzy> Hi, my login screen freezes whenever I get to it, I've managed to log in via ssh and stop gdm, now, how do I restor my xorg.conf.  It is the mangnifier that freezes the login screen, so I need to find a way for it to stop from trying to load when I start
[01:23] <triple_xxx> rww: give apt-fast a try it really is faster at downloads then apt-get
[01:24] <ultraparadigm> Well Datzy, it's obviousely a configuration you have to change, but in the mean time, you can change the name of the process so that Xorg can't find the magnifier program, that way you can log in for now
[01:24] <triple_xxx> Dr_Willis: give apt-fast a try you will like it it runs great
[01:24] <CodeWar> what is the right way to find out what device my cdrom drive is on in my system
[01:24] <phong_> ;)
[01:24] <phong_> hello guys
[01:24] <NanoGuy> hi
[01:25] <moore> can anyone lend a hand on gnome-do?
[01:26] <datzy> ultraparadigm: How would I go about doing this?
[01:26] <sabgenton> I have  a bad interfaces file which is casuing ubuntu not to start (even in recovery mode)
[01:26] <ultraparadigm> Datzy, When the OS starts up, if you can't log into to X, then press CTRL-ALT-F1 to swich to a regular TTY
[01:27] <ultraparadigm> ....
[01:27] <sabgenton> is there some key I can press on start up to tell it to ask me if it should load stuff?
[01:28] <ultraparadigm> Then find the magnifier program.  (do you know where it is)  After you find it rename it to something like gdm_old
[01:28] <petsounds> moore, what's your question?
[01:28] <ultraparadigm> rename gdm gdm_old    --- Then restart
[01:28] <moore> i'm just trying to figure-out where gnome-do hides its cache...
[01:29] <datzy> ultraparadigm: I see
[01:29] <moore> i changed a bunch of icons, but gnome-do doesn't recognize it.
[01:29] <ultraparadigm> or rather "sudo gdm gdm_old"  Provided that gdm is the name of the executable.   I don't know where it is though, you will have to find it
[01:29] <paulmer> can someone give me a 30 second crashcourse on ubuntu/debian?
[01:29] <paulmer> what's the command to install stuff
[01:29] <paulmer> apt_get?
[01:29] <paulmer> I keep doing pkg_add, I'm too used to freebsd lolz.
[01:29] <datzy> ultraparadigm: ok
[01:29] <NanoGuy> yes thats it
[01:30] <daftykins> sudo apt-cache search x; sudo apt-get install x;
[01:30] <paulmer> thanks :D
[01:30] <datzy> ultraparadigm: it will be in /usr/bin?
[01:30] <bmatthew> hello guys
[01:30] <Dr_Willis> !aapt
[01:30] <paulmer> I've had to boot to a livecd to rescue this brand new ubuntu install...
[01:30] <Dr_Willis> !apt
[01:30] <paulmer> After updating the system it won't reboot
[01:30] <paulmer> grub is messed up
[01:30] <paulmer> epic lame.
[01:30] <daftykins> :(
[01:30] <paulmer> <3 chroot
[01:30] <paulmer> Gonna blow grub away and install lilo :)
[01:31] <FloodBot3> !netsplit
[01:32] <paulmer> lawl.
[01:32] <luiX_> hi all
[01:32] <paulmer> Freenode splits so much
[01:32] <paulmer> and gets attacked so much
[01:32] <luiX_> can anyone help about preseeding?
[01:32] <paulmer> #ubuntu should b e on efnet ;D
[01:32] <luiX_> I'm getting an error related to PPPoE and I haven't preseeded anything about that, any idea?
[01:34] <sabgenton> doe's anyone know the way to make ubutun ask you about each service as it starts up?
[01:34] <sabgenton> used to be a shortcut
[01:35] <Dr_Willis> Hmm, i dont recall ever seeing that feature sabgenton  You mean like 'Do you want to start ssh? (y/n)'
[01:35] <sabgenton> yeah!
[01:36] <Dr_Willis> nerer seen that
[01:36] <sabgenton> you don't rember seeing it in ubuuntu?
[01:36] <NotTooSmart> wondering if http://pastebin.com/m3e73cdbc would be typical results for a udma5 hard-drive ?
[01:36] <sabgenton> I know I seen it in other distros
[01:36] <syn-ack> ssh server is not included as part of the default ubuntu install
[01:37] <syn-ack> which is why you don't see that question like you do in other distros.
[01:37] <sabgenton> Dr_Willis: ok well failling that what do I add  at the end of a boot line to enter single user mode
[01:37] <syn-ack> sing
[01:37] <syn-ack> single
[01:37] <sabgenton> chears
[01:37] <tpinto> hello guys. i've had an ubuntu installation on a pentium 4 server and now i want to move the disk (and the very same installation) to a pentium 3 server. so i'm changing all the hardware minus the disk itself. is this possible? what do i need to do in order to accomplish this? (i'm a pretty advanced user)
[01:37] <Dr_Willis> that would be 'single' :)
[01:37] <tpinto> thanks in advance :)
[01:37] <sabgenton> syn-ack: yeah but it wasn't just for ssh
[01:38] <sabgenton> it was for all services starting up
[01:38] <Dr_Willis> tpinto:  it should work.
[01:38] <NotTooSmart> tpinto, just swap the drive, it will keep working
[01:38] <sabgenton> ask for each step by step
[01:38] <NotTooSmart> wondering if http://pastebin.com/m3e73cdbc would be typical results for a udma5 hard-drive ?
[01:38] <Dr_Willis> sabgenton:  not a feature of ubuntu that ive ever seen
[01:38] <sabgenton> I think it was i
[01:38] <tpinto> ok, many thanks :)
[01:38] <sabgenton> for interactive
[01:38] <sabgenton> maybe that was gentoo
[01:38] <sabgenton> I thougtht redhat had something too
[01:38] <tpinto> so it seems the problem i'm getting is nothing related to the change
[01:39] <sabgenton> syn-ack: I'lll try single anyhoo
[01:39] <tpinto> i'm getting a "init: upstart-udev-bridge main process killed by SEGV signal" on boot
[01:39] <tpinto> any thoughts?
[01:39] <sabgenton> :)
[01:40] <paulmer> wtf, ubuntu is weird. Why are the UUID's in my fstab
[01:40] <paulmer> and not typical device entries
[01:40] <blakkheim> paulmer: you answered your own question
[01:40] <NotTooSmart> paulmer, change them for /dev/device ......
[01:41] <paulmer> blakkheim, device entries as in /dev/sdx
[01:41] <paulmer> or hdx
[01:41] <blakkheim> paulmer: i know what you meant
[01:41] <paulmer> I'ven ever seen UUID before
[01:41] <paulmer> in an fstab
[01:41] <NotTooSmart> uuid causes problems for me
[01:41] <deltaray_> I'm running 9.10 and am trying to recover my grub setup using this howto (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows), but I'm running into issues.
[01:41] <Dr_Willis> using UUID's is not weird. many disrtos are using them in fstab now
[01:41] <blakkheim> paulmer: what i was saying is that the reason was in your question, "ubuntu is weird"
[01:41] <alankila> paulmer: it's a fixed way to refer to a particular filesystem no matter what device node it gets mapped to
[01:41] <paulmer> oh
[01:41] <paulmer> :D
[01:41] <deltaray_> What do I need to do from a 9.10 CD to load grub2 back to the MBR?
[01:42] <paulmer> alankila, yeah. But device nodes rarely get swapped around
[01:42] <majorjunk0> why cant the partitioner in the ubuntu installer find the ex4 partition i created on my HD?
[01:42] <Dr_Willis> deltaray_:  you could chroot into the installed system. and use update-grub or use update-grub with the proper options to tell it where to install to.
[01:43] <deltaray_> Dr_Willis: Thanks. I tried running update-grub from a chroot and that didn't reinstall grub on the MBR.  It did seem to complete without error though
[01:43] <syn-ack> The reason for using a UUID is so that it doesnt matter where the disk is placed on the device tree, the system still knows where to boot and mount from
[01:43] <alankila> paulmer: I bet it's fallout from the hda/sda switch which happened couple of versions ago, actually.
[01:43] <deltaray_> Dr_Willis: or if it did install grub, I can't see it on boot.
[01:43] <deltaray_> grub2 is new to me.
[01:43] <syn-ack> that was to you, paulmer
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> http://gadgetmix.com/index/how-to-restrore-grub-bootloader-in-ubuntu-9-10-standard-and-netbook-remix/
[01:43] <Dr_Willis> seems rather clear on the command. :)
[01:44] <stealyourface> cd mrxvt
[01:44] <paulmer> syn-ack, a smart solution indeed..
[01:44] <stealyourface> !f
[01:44] <paulmer> especially for those of us who have finicky machines
[01:44] <paulmer> that like to swap them around
[01:44] <NotTooSmart> wondering if http://pastebin.com/m3e73cdbc would be typical results for a udma5 hard-drive ?
[01:44] <paulmer> Where do you lookup the UUID for a partition?
[01:44] <syn-ack> paulmer: is it's not that weird afterall.
[01:45] <syn-ack> http://serverfault.com/questions/3132/how-do-i-find-the-uuid-of-a-partition
[01:45] <deltaray_> Dr_Willis: yeah, I tried using that sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/root /dev/sda and that's what I'm saying completed without error, but that didn't work.
[01:45] <Dr_Willis> !uuid
[01:45] <deltaray_> I also tried grub-update
[01:45] <alankila> NotTooSmart: the data transfer rates are lowish. I have UDMA 6 and measure 77 MB/s... I don't know what the UDMA5 rate was, don't remember it any more
[01:45] <Dr_Willis> deltaray_:  cry chrooting into the installed system and using the update-grub command perhaps
[01:45] <alankila> the cached reads test is irrelevant, it's a memory-to-memory kind of test. That also indicates that you have a low-end system, though
[01:46] <NotTooSmart> alankila, udma5 is supposed to be 100mb/sec and im getting like 46, I know it wont be 100, but less than half?
[01:46] <deltaray_> Dr_Willis: When I try that, it says
[01:46] <Dr_Willis> deltaray_:   You only have the 1 hard drive?
[01:46] <deltaray_> "Cannot find list of partitions!"
[01:46] <sabgenton> ok I knowtcie recovery mode option  is just puting single at the end
[01:46] <Dr_Willis> deltaray_:  thers some extra commands you have to do befor you chroot
[01:46] <sabgenton> so fat lot of difference me entering it myself
[01:46] <Dr_Willis> http://delicious.com/dr_willis/grub2
[01:46] <deltaray_> Dr_Willis: I have 2 hard drives, /dev/sda1 has Linux on it, there is also a swap part ont hat drive, then /dev/sdb1 has Windows XP
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> deltaray_:   be sure the bios isent accidently booting the other hd.
[01:47] <gizmobay> Anyway to clear the last command in history without clearing the whole history? Going to rar a directory with pass via CLI
[01:47] <NotTooSmart> alankila, disregard
[01:47] <alankila> NotTooSmart: yes... overheads, perhaps a low speed of CPU harming it ... Not sure
[01:47] <deltaray_> Dr_Willis: Ok, I didn't do the bind /sys partition, forgot about that one.
[01:47] <Dr_Willis> http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide has some commands i always do befor i chroot..  see commands 1-6
[01:47] <NotTooSmart> alankila, my other drive is getting 66 or so, so atleast I know its working
[01:48] <OldParr> where does ubuntu saves the packages installed with aptitude ?
[01:48] <alankila> NotTooSmart: you can use -i flag to check which UDMA mode is actually being used
[01:48] <alankila> NotTooSmart: the active mode is marked by *
[01:48] <NotTooSmart> alankila, well, I think I have a kernel bug, so I had to force 80 wire detection, now udma5 is selected, before it was udma2
[01:49] <deltaray_> Dr_Willis: Thanks, that worked, but does that install grub to the MBR?  It doesn't really say.
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> deltaray_:  you did tell it to install to sda and not sda1 ?
[01:49] <NotTooSmart> alankila, now dmesg | grep ata says they are both configured for udma/100
[01:49] <Dr_Willis> sda = the mbr of the drive.. sda1 = the boot record of the partition
[01:49] <deltaray_> Ok, looks like it did after checking with dd if=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 | strings
[01:49] <alankila> NotTooSmart: ah. Okay. Or maybe you have cd-rom on the same ide channel, that commonly forces to udma2
[01:49] <deltaray_> Grub shows up in that output.
[01:50] <NotTooSmart> alankila, no sir, I have no cd-rom drives on this machine
[01:50] <deltaray_> Dr_Willis: Yes, I did say sda
[01:50] <deltaray_> I'm actually not new to Linux at all, just new to grub2.
[01:51] <deltaray_> Ok, well I'll try rebooting now and see what happens.
[01:51] <NotTooSmart> alankila, im guessing since im getting over 33mb/sec that the force 80 wire detection did work.
[01:52] <alankila> NotTooSmart: yes, I guess.
[01:54]  * Daugha|n chuckles.
[01:54] <Santisnight> jesus do you know how annoying that registering system is?!
[01:55]  * Dr_Willis hasent noticed..
[01:55] <Santisnight> dumb thing never sent a confirmation email so i had to change my name and use a spare email.
[01:55] <Santisnight> anyways.
[01:56] <ballsac> why ubuntu dosent work!?
[01:56] <sutabi> anyone here use Wubi?  Any ideas what could be causing this?
[01:56] <Santisnight> I have an issue whenever i move my mouse, i get a chirping, like a cricket chirp, from my speakers. any idea how to fix this?
[01:57] <OldParr> where does ubuntu saves the packages installed with aptitude ?
[01:57] <Dr_Willis> sutabi:  i think the wubi stuff is all stored in a single filesystem in a file. that you could mount from a live cd to  copy things from. but ive no idea what the file name is or where its at
[01:57] <Ferris-> how do i grow my wubi install? can i?
[01:57] <Ferris-> >:|
[01:58] <Dr_Willis> OldParr:  you mean the actual deb packages? /var/cache/apt I think
[01:58] <Daugha|n> Hey, Dr_Willis
[01:58] <sutabi> Dr_Willis, I figured ~_~ thanks
[01:59] <Axle> does anyone here know anything about joomla with ubuntu?
[01:59] <OldParr> Dr_Willis: does aptitude saves packages to disk by default or do you have to configure it to do it?
[01:59] <Dr_Willis> OldParr:  it works the same as apt-get does. saves them to the cache
[01:59] <Dr_Willis> wouldent make much sence for it to not work that way
[01:59] <OldParr> Dr_Willis: by default, it does it?
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> OldParr:  you mean the actual deb packages? /var/cache/apt I think
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> yes it should as far as i know.
[02:00] <Dr_Willis> its just another front end to the package manager system
[02:00] <sabgenton> oh dam i tryed to get in from another disto dual boot
[02:00] <fission6> why does ubuntu still show up under my windows parition boot after i uninstalle dit
[02:00] <sabgenton> but it's old and doesn't have ext4
[02:00] <sabgenton> lol
[02:00] <Santisnight> -_-
[02:00] <sabgenton> curse ext4!
[02:01] <sabgenton> whats it good for anyway
[02:01] <OldParr> Dr_Willis: yes there are the packages, thanks
[02:01] <Dr_Willis> sabgenton:  moar speed
[02:01] <sabgenton> oh ok well thats allways nice
[02:01] <sabgenton> execpt older os's cant read it :(
[02:02] <sabgenton> sabgenton gos to make boot usb
[02:02] <sabgenton> :(
[02:02] <keepsake> After some updates, the desktop won't show up and window decorator isn't there after a restart/log-out-log-in. Any ideas what could be causing this?
[02:02] <sabgenton> any other ideas anyone?
[02:03] <sabgenton> to recap I stuffed up /etc/network/interfaces and now ubutntu won't boot
[02:03] <daftykins> keepsake: do you get X at all, or nothing graphical? only TTYs?
[02:03] <sabgenton> how do I stop it loading the network and haulting the boot up
[02:03] <daftykins> sabgenton: can you pastebin your current 'interfaces' ?
[02:04] <sabgenton> no because I can't boot!
[02:04] <daftykins> mount from livecd?
[02:04] <sabgenton> If  i could I would wipe em so it would boot
[02:04] <daftykins> where are ou typing from now?
[02:04] <sabgenton> don't have a cd right now
[02:04] <sabgenton> cdrom
[02:04]  * sabgenton goes to get all the nessicarrys
[02:04] <fission6> FireCrotch: are you around
[02:04] <Dr_Willis> I would think  the single rescue mode would still boot..  Ive never seen a system not boot because of the network
[02:05] <keepsake> daftykins: I get panels and background image
[02:05] <sabgenton> daftykins: still I can't remmber stuffing networking on other distros and having then not even boot
[02:05] <keepsake> daftykins: In fact I can run a terminal using a panel and do compiz --replace and get my things back. Desktop stays invisible though.
[02:05] <daftykins> keepsake: have you tried creating a new user and logging in as that to test, to see if it's something in your home folder?
[02:05] <keepsake> daftykins: Will do.
[02:06] <Daugha|n> Dr_Willis: It will if the bios is set for lanboot.
[02:06] <sabgenton> oh yay I have netbook karmic on usb
[02:06] <sabgenton> saved
[02:07] <paulmer> Why doens
[02:07] <Daugha|n> lanboot exclusively, I shoujd say. Ran across that the other week.
[02:07] <paulmer> 't the ubuntu livecd come with sshd
[02:07] <paulmer> blarg
[02:08] <Dr_Willis> paulmer:  the live cd dosent come with a lot of things.. due to space limitions
[02:09] <ardchoille> Dr_Willis: I foresee them switching ti livedvd in the not so distant future
[02:09] <Santisnight> anyone?
[02:09] <Dr_Willis> ardchoille:  i will be suprised when they do that.
[02:10] <ardchoille> I think kubuntu is already doing that in the next release or so
[02:10] <N1XF0RC3> ho
[02:10] <N1XF0RC3> hi
[02:10] <Dr_Willis> I think they need to get rid of wubi also. :)
[02:10] <triple_xxx> So anyone look at apt-fast?????
[02:10] <ardchoille> :)
[02:10] <morphias> sup guys; im curious - how do i determine which log to find when the system goes unresponsive other than ability to switch workspaces?  everything else locked up.
[02:10] <morphias> using ubuntu 9.10, x64
[02:11] <triple_xxx> well have fun with apt-get slow I'm using apt-fast goodbye
[02:12] <paulmer> Fatal: Trying to map files from unnamed device 0x0011 (NFS/RAID mirror down ?)
[02:13] <paulmer> hmmmm, chrooted in to my ubuntu netbook, removed grub and installed lilo.
[02:13] <N1XF0RC3> i have probelm in apt-get build-dep ruby missing source .list
[02:13] <paulmer> lilconfig didn't want to play nice with the UUIDs in /etc/fstab so I replaced them with traditional addresses..still wouldn't work
[02:13] <morphias> can someone help me determine the cause of a system lockup? (ubuntu 9.10, x64)
[02:13] <paulmer> wrote up a config and now it's telling me this:
[02:13] <paulmer> Fatal: Trying to map files from unnamed device 0x0011 (NFS/RAID mirror down ?)
[02:13] <Daugha|n> morphias: Try /var/log
[02:14] <hajmola> i have a cox cable connection. My desktop auto-eth0 connects just fine but when I plug the ethernet cable into my laptop it does not. Why is that?
[02:14] <morphias> Daugha|n, any specific log file i should look into?
[02:14] <N1XF0RC3> "apt-get build-dep ruby" [missing sources .list]
[02:15] <Daugha|n> morphias: Can try syslog, but, I didnt have one in mind, just pointing you in a directio to start looking.
[02:15] <paulmer> Nevermind, I am daft - I didn't bind /dev to /mnt/ubuntu/dev
[02:15] <jeffreyf> hajmola, are you using a router or direct to the broadband modem?
[02:15] <morphias> okay thanks Daugha|n ..
[02:15] <Daugha|n> np
[02:15] <keepsake> daftykins: I tried, and it is something in my home folder (a test user account worked fine).
[02:16] <hajmola> jeffreyf, direct to the modem... i just moved and i don't have a router yet
[02:16] <N1XF0RC3> Daughln  could u help
[02:16] <OldParr> is normal that firestarter crashes in ubuntu 9.04 ?
[02:17] <OldParr> is normal that pidgin crashes when conecting to msn protocol in ubuntu 9.04 ?
[02:17] <zzt> hi
[02:17] <jeffreyf> hajmola...You may need to reset the router between connections (power it down and switch computers on the wire).  As the DHCP server has already registered the computer you HAD connected...OR if you wait a few minutes between disconnect and connecting the other system, that may work also....
[02:18] <hajmola> jeffreyf, that makes sense, thanks. It's a battery powered modem so should I pull the battery out too or press the reset button on back?
[02:19] <Axle> How do I find out what group is running apache?
[02:19] <jeffreyf> hajmola...a reset should do...
[02:20] <hajmola> jeffreyf, thanks a lot, I'll give that a try
[02:20] <syn-ack> Axle: it should be running in "apache" though man group
[02:20] <Axle> syn-ack, so if I wanted to add a user to the same group that's running apache, what command would I use?
[02:20] <JPSman> I am looking to backup my mothers window partition and am using a live CD of 9.04.  Disk Usage Analyzer (you know, the sexy pie chart tool) says there is only 18 gigs used, yet the system monitor says there are 88 gigs being use.  What creates this discrepancy and which should I trust?
[02:21] <Flannel> Axle: sudo adduser username www-data
[02:21] <Flannel> syn-ack: apache runs as www-data:www-data
[02:22] <syn-ack> Flannel: good to know... I havent run it in a while obviously
[02:22] <morphias> Daugha|n, hmm... syslog shows a ntupdate / time server exchange around the time when my laptop kinda froze up... but there isn't like an obvious "error" message.
[02:22] <Dracofodder> how do I backout my current version of flash plugin to something earlier... Synaptic shows <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS> but its been giving me some odd problems and I wanted to try an earlier version.
[02:22] <keepsake> Something in my home folder is preventing window decorators and the desktop to start properly; what could the culprit be?
[02:23] <Daugha|n> morphias: I dunno. I was just giving you a place to look for logs. I'm a newb.
[02:23] <morphias> ah. well you helped. im checking Xorg and Compiz logs (might be an intel thing?)
[02:26] <solexious> I have managed to remove the recycle bin icon from the lower right panel, how can i get it back?
[02:26] <Axle> hmm
[02:26] <Axle> how do I change what group owns a directory?
[02:26] <tawd> solexious, right click the panel, go to add to panel and search for trash
[02:26] <unop> Axle,  chgrp
[02:27] <Axle> ok
[02:27] <Axle> ty
[02:27] <unop> Axle, chmod too
[02:27] <solexious> tawd: its not listed :s
[02:27] <zonyl> Hi All.  I have a system with a ATI Radeon 2600 for a while that has all sorts of issues with video.  Basically I want to redo the drivers etc.  What is the recommended driver approach for a XBMC computer with a Radeon nowadays?
[02:27] <syn-ack> chown, not chmod
[02:27] <tawd> solexious :( uhh...
[02:27] <Axle> and if I do chgrp -R
[02:27] <Axle> it will change everything
[02:27] <Axle> right?

[02:28] <daftykins> keepsake: ah cool, if compiz is acting funny i might be tempted to move .compiz and the .gnome folders in /home to backups
[02:28] <keepsake> daftykins: Afterwards, would logout/login test to see if things were fixed?
[02:28] <morphias> gah.  is it just me or does intel drivers actually have a regression issue?

[02:28] <JPSman> I am looking to backup my mothers window partition and am using a live CD of 9.04.  Disk Usage Analyzer (you know, the sexy pie chart tool) says there is only 18 gigs used, yet the system monitor says there are 88 gigs being use.  What creates this discrepancy and which should I trust?
[02:28] <mithridates> hey guys
[02:29] <daftykins> keepsake: yeah should be that simple

[02:30] <raymond__> hello??? first time here.
[02:30] <keepsake> daftykins: Should I try moving .gconf too?
[02:31] <daftykins> keepsake: all .compiz .gconf and .gnome / .gnome2 related jazz ja?
[02:31] <daftykins> :)
[02:31] <keepsake> daftykins: I'll test that

[02:33] <keepsake> daftykins: Hmm, that reset my desktop/panels, but didn't fix the desktop or window-decorators
[02:33] <N1XF0RC3> how to add source for "build-dep ruby"

[02:35] <daftykins> keepsake: ah, hmm not sure then i'm afraid
[02:35] <brian__> hows it going?
[02:35] <ultraparadigm> Halp!  My bluetooth mouse is canceling out my bluetooth headphones!
[02:35] <keepsake> daftykins: Hmm, this is strange. There are no other folders that could be doing this?
[02:35] <brian__> does anyone know much about kubuntu and composting?
[02:36] <ultraparadigm> They are both detected and connecting but when I move my mouse the audio cuts out
[02:36] <{chmod}755> !ask | brian__
[02:36] <ardchoille> brian__: You need to askin #kubuntu
[02:36] <daftykins> keepsake: umm if you could pastebin a listing of "la -a ~/" i could have a glance over but i'm not sure
[02:36] <infid> in ubuntu/gvim everytime i mouse over a gvim window my mouse cursor disappears, which makes it impossible to highlight text accurately, etc. any idea how to fix this?
[02:36] <Viper1432> keepsake,  are you using CSSM to manage compiz?  If so, do you have the "window decorator' option checked or not?
[02:36] <olympus> how do you force a 32bit app to install on a 64 bit sys?
[02:36] <brian__> ok then, sorry to annoy. i've got composting working beautifully with compiz fusion in 9.10 but when i reboot it gets suspended. i would like to prevent that
[02:36] <nintendude794> how can I install Netbook Remix's overlay in the Desktop Edition?  You know, that thing that primarily organizes all the applications in Netbook Remixe
[02:36] <keepsake> Viper1432: It's enabled. I'm more worried about the desktop not showing up though
[02:37] <nintendude794> *remix
[02:37] <jeffreyf> ultraparadigm  How close are you to the computer
[02:37] <ultraparadigm> Jeffreyf,  Very close, it's a laptop
[02:37] <Viper1432> keepsake,  what exactly do you mean by "desktop not showing up"?
[02:37] <ardchoille> brian__: I'm sure the folks in #kubuntu can help as that is the official channel for kubuntu
[02:37] <brian__> thank you. sorry to bother
[02:37] <taofd> I'm using ssh to connect to a box, how do I attach it to one of the local terms? This way when i log off it will continue running?
[02:37] <brian__> have a nice day
[02:37] <jeffreyf> ultraparadigm, are there wireless phones or cell phones within close proximity of your computer
[02:38] <keepsake> Viper1432: I see my desktop image, but icons don't show up and right-click doesn't do anything.
[02:38] <ultraparadigm> Jeffreyf,  Yes, we have wifi, cell phones and cordless phones.
[02:38] <jeffreyf> ultraparadigm, how close?
[02:38] <petsounds> nintendude794,           sudo apt-get install ubuntu-netbook-remix          and then reboot.
[02:39] <Viper1432> have you checked gconf-editor > apps> nautilus >preferences> "show desktop"  ??
[02:39] <Viper1432> that was for keepsake
[02:39] <ultraparadigm> My router is about 4 feet away, celll phone about 4 ft, my wife cell is about 10 feet away
[02:39] <Tanthrix> I know this isn't stricly an ubuntu issue, but does anyone know how to speed up smb share traversal? I've got two linux systems here, one Arch linux, one Ubuntu 9.10. ln -R of the same file shre takes 1/4 second on the Arch system, and 6 seconds on Ubuntu.
[02:40] <keepsake> Viper1432: That's checked.

[02:40] <jonaskoelker> Hi all.  I just installed the ttf-incosolata package, then when I do "xterm -fn '-*-inconsolata-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*'" I get told "term: cannot load font -*-inconsolata-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*".  Why?  How can I have my xterm use the Inconsolata font?
[02:40] <keepsake> daftykins: Here's the command (I ls'd instead of la): http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d70f0c880
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> Tanthrix:  the ubuntu smb.conf file has some examples/notes in the comments as to some options to sue to speed it up
[02:40] <jeffreyf> ultraparadigm  Do the bluetooth devices behave out of the room?
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> Tanthrix:  for a linux to linux - nfs may be MUCH faster then samba
[02:41] <Tanthrix> Dr_Willis: I'll have a look, thanks. This is windows to linux though, so I'm stuck with smb
[02:41] <keepsake> Viper1432, daftykins: If it helps, here's some context: I updated to karmic a couple of days ago, and until yesterday, everything worked perfectly. After an update (it seems) things started to go broken.
[02:41] <Tanthrix> Dr_Willis: And when I set it up, I actually copied the smb.conf over from my old system, so maybe there are some new things I ought to enable since this is a newer version of smb.
[02:41] <ultraparadigm> My headphones usually work upto about 10 feet, if I go to the bathroom I can still hear music until I get behind the wall, I can't really tell if the mouse works outside the room though :-/
[02:41] <Viper1432> keepsake,  I had major issues with a karmic "upgrade" as well.  My solution?  do a clean install but keep the /home directory.
[02:41] <Viper1432> all my "issues" went away.
[02:42] <keepsake> Viper1432: Was it a distro update for you or just regular software updates?
[02:42] <jeffreyf> ultraparadigm, please prefix my handle on your reply so I can pick it out of the rest of the "noise"
[02:42] <ultraparadigm> jeffreyf,  sure
[02:42] <bigdavjoker> Where do I get more informaion on a package that fails install in synaptic Package manager because of dependcys?  I'm trying to install Openbve
[02:42] <ultraparadigm> jeffreyf,  My headphones usually work upto about 10 feet, if I go to the bathroom I can still hear music until I get behind the wall, I can't really tell if the mouse works outside the room though :-/
[02:42] <Viper1432> keepsake,  I started having problems after a distro update, and it got worse with updates.  The clean install (keeping /home) resolved everything.
[02:43] <jeffreyf> ultraparadigm, if you take the laptop, mouse and headphones out of the room, do they behave
[02:43] <jonaskoelker> bigdavjoker: try installing it with apt-get
[02:43] <keepsake> Viper1432: I'm guessing that involves downloading the disc now >>
[02:43] <jonaskoelker> bigdavjoker: open a terminal, sudo apt-get install <package name>
[02:43] <ultraparadigm> jeffreyf,   oh I see lol, let me try down the hall
[02:43] <daftykins> keepsake: you got many packages in /var/cache/apt/archives to indicate those most recent updates?
[02:44] <keepsake> daftykins: Tons
[02:44] <bigdavjoker> jonaskoelker, I get the same meesage  unresovlable dependicies  but when I look up the package it says it is in universe
[02:44] <Viper1432> keepsake,  do you remember what update apparently started to cause the issues?  points to daftykins  comment.
[02:44] <bigdavjoker> jonaskoelker,   libtaoframework is one of them
[02:44] <keepsake> Viper1432, daftykins: I have at least a ton of files in here, I'll pastebin what I have.
[02:44] <jonaskoelker> bigdavjoker: might it be only of the "wrong" versions?
[02:45] <daftykins> keepsake: ah tbh i think i'm too newb to deduce any further! distro updates scare me so i may be tempted to give in to reinstalling like Viper1432 says :S
[02:45] <melwtech35> where can i get some expert advice on a BootChart :>?
[02:45] <daftykins> keepsake: i might tar everything in ~/ myself and add back only the configs for apps you need if you test it as working
[02:45] <ultraparadigm> jeffreyf, I'm out in the hall way, and they don't seem to improve any.  I can still hear the headphones fine untill I move the mouse
[02:45] <keepsake> daftykins: Haha, thanks anyway, I'll see if I can figure something out. It's weird that a secondary account works though.
[02:45] <Tanthrix> Dr_Willis: I should clarify that when I said smb share, I meant a windows share I had cifs mounted. Would doing anything to my smb.conf actually affect this?
[02:46] <keepsake> daftykins: Would ubuntu boot with everything in ~ tar'd?
[02:46] <daftykins> keepsake: yeah makes it sound like it must be configs :S good luck :)
[02:46] <bigdavjoker> jonaskoelker,   I see what you mean now one is looking for an earlier version the other just says can not be installed
[02:46] <daftykins> keepsake: two ways to find out :) pretty sure booting'd be fine, maybe not logging in with X
[02:47] <jeffreyf> ultraparadigm I was attempting to see if you had interference from other electronics....
[02:47] <ultraparadigm> jeffreyf, do you think it's that they are forced to use the same channel?
[02:47] <jeffreyf> ultraparadigm...give me a moment
[02:47] <keepsake> daftykins: Hmm, is there a way to check what files are read/loaded on log-in?
[02:47] <ultraparadigm> ok
[02:47] <daftykins> keepsake: not sure i'm afraid
[02:47] <jonaskoelker> bigdavjoker: it seems like a bug to me---I'd want packages to have their dependencies met by only other packages from the same release
[02:47] <j_ack> morning
[02:47] <jonaskoelker> bigdavjoker: ... and I think it's in the ubuntu policy manual (if it has one)---if not, then the debian policy manual
[02:47] <meganerd> Tanthrix: the smb.conf is for smb/cifs shares that it is controlling, it has no effect on cifs shares that you are a client for
[02:48] <ultraparadigm> jeffreyf, I'm going to disconnect the mouse now that i'm outside and reconnect it
[02:48] <thasp> http://www.dpaste.com/146720 <---- what about this xorg.conf file could be stopping my keyboard and mouse from working when I start gnome?
[02:48] <sherl0ck> if you have a macbook, please contact me
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> Tanthrix:  i dont think anything in smb.conf would affect teh speeds of a windows -> linux samba transfer
[02:48] <RandomUsr_> hello
[02:48] <jeffreyf> ultraparadigm.  what model headphones?
[02:48] <Tanthrix> meganerd: That's what I figured. So that means, speeding up cifs mounts will need to be done elsewhere.
[02:48] <thasp> i miss my input devices
[02:49] <Tanthrix> It's just so strange - I've got the same share mounted on both this old arch system, and my new ubuntu system. Side by side, it takes a half second to list all the files on the old arch system, and 6 seconds for Ubuntu.
[02:49] <bigdavjoker> jonaskoelker, Yeah I was a bit confused I thought if it was in the list that was the point that it should be able to get whatever it depened on I found one other forum a couple people were having the same problem but not responses   thanks for the help
[02:49] <RandomUsr_> installed ubuntu 9.10 on an old setup with a Netgear 802.11g card. LSPCI lists the card as gammagraphx or missing ID or some junk, best way to install the driver and make it work?
[02:49] <jonaskoelker> bigdavjoker: yw
[02:49] <ultraparadigm> Jeffreyf, Motorola's, don't know model number or name, but they are  one solid piece that fits around the head, quite uncomfortable too

[02:50] <meganerd> Tanthrix: correct.  chances the problem is your network or disk IO
[02:50] <jeffreyf> ultraparadigm  ht series?
[02:50] <melwtech35> can someone have a look at this bootchart and let me know what i can do to speed up boot time? http://imagebin.org/80430
[02:50] <jeffreyf> ultraparadigm with hands free mic?
[02:51] <sabgenton> should my hostapd config be in /etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf
[02:51] <meganerd> melwtech35: what are you trying to do other than make booting faster?  I have never understood this desire.  I wouold wait 5 minutes for boot if it meant a more stable system
[02:51] <sabgenton> it doesn't seem to take there
[02:52] <RandomUsr_> anyone here have netgear w311?
[02:52] <{chmod}755> meganerd, I completely, whole-heartedly concur.
[02:52] <sabgenton> with /etc/init.d/hostapd start
[02:52] <Dr_Willis> 5 min boot time for a 5 week+ uptime.. :)
[02:52] <Tanthrix> meganerd: I don't know if that's the case, since I can copy to both of these systems at the exact same rate.
[02:52] <melwtech35> meganerd, not to make it unstable but perhaps trim some of the unnecessary stuff ubuntu has? its a laptop so fast shutdown and start up is necessary
[02:52] <meganerd> Tanthrix: so what is slow?  I just got back so I missed most of the background
[02:53] <error404notfound> where does google chromium (browser) store its prefs?
[02:53] <ultraparadigm> jeffreyf, it's a Motorokr S9 Bluetooth Stereo Headset
[02:53] <Tanthrix> meganerd: No problem. What is slow is the file traversal. It takes a half second to ls -R 3000 files on this samba share on my old system, and 6-7 seconds on my new system.
[02:53] <meganerd> melwtech35: my primary system is a laptop, 9.10 is faster than 9.04, I am not sure how fast I could get it to go
[02:53] <ahabman3> On Ubuntu using Dust theme, it seems like there is only 1px to grab onto at the window edge. Anyone else notice this? Any remidies out there?
[02:53] <ultraparadigm> jefferyf, yes it has a mic in it too
[02:54] <melwtech35> meganerd, current boot time says 1 minute, thats a lot, i guess i shoulda gone with gentoo
[02:54] <meganerd> Tanthrix: check /var/log/samba on the server, it keeps per host data there
[02:54] <ultraparadigm> jefferyf, but I can use the mic with a stereo profile
[02:54] <meganerd> melwtech35: the best thing you could do is install an Intel SSD
[02:54] <tawd> how do i use ATI drivers?
[02:54] <ultraparadigm> jeffreyf, but I can use the mic with a stereo profile
[02:55] <ultraparadigm> jeffreyf, opps, I mean I can't* use the mic with a stereo profile
[02:55] <melwtech35> meganerd, theres no "remove all junk" option for ubuntu desktop im guessing :(
[02:55] <tawd> lspci | grep VGA
[02:55] <tawd> 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M]
[02:55] <tawd> ATI driver for that
[02:55] <Tanthrix> meganerd: Nothing in there looks different or out of place. Would a cifs mounted share log to there anyway?
[02:55] <Tanthrix> meganerd: My issues are purely with traversing a windows share across the network, not traversing a samba share from my windows machine.
[02:56] <graphit3> hello all
[02:56] <melwtech35> meganerd, can i uninstall this pulseaudio ?
[02:56] <sherl0ck> //u
[02:56] <keepsake> daftykins, Viper1432: Thanks for your help, I've managed to stumble upon the solution: rename as many hidden folder as I can =D I've lost all of my settings but at least it works now.
[02:56] <meganerd> melwtech35: yes, but I doubt it has any effect on boot time
[02:57] <daftykins> keepsake: cool :)
[02:57] <melwtech35> meganerd, so ubuntu installs Alsa and PulseAudio ? is there a need for both? or is it safe to remove
[02:57] <keepsake> daftykins: Although, I have to say, this will be a bit tedious, restoring this many settings =P
[02:57] <Viper1432> keepsake,  sorry was afk there for r/l, but glad you figured it out! :)
[02:58] <keepsake> Viper1432: Thanks =D
[02:58] <meganerd> melwtech35: pulse runs on top of alsa, it makes it easier to connect various audio apps
[02:58] <Mmmbeer> what's the best wifi app to use with a netbook and linux? I use wpa2? thanks
[02:58] <Viper1432> melwtech35,  pulse DEPENDS upon alsa.  If it works...don't futz with it.  lol
[02:58] <{chmod}755> Coffee anyone?
[02:58] <melwtech35> this isn't a media PC though i dont use sound and that really
[02:58] <meganerd> melwtech35: this is actually a complex question, I would leave it alone unless you really know what you are doing
[02:59] <meganerd> gotta run again, beback later.
[02:59] <binMonkey> no one is active in #xubuntu.  if i can't edit menu.lst, how can i fix the xubuntu shutdown problem in 9.10?
[02:59] <melwtech35> well ill just blow it away and if it doesnt work ill fix it
[02:59] <dukz> hi guys, im trying to download a package, and im checking the arch. Is x86_64 = amd64?
[02:59] <ziroday> binMonkey: edit /etc/default/grub.cfg?
[02:59] <{chmod}755> dukz, yes
[02:59] <ziroday> dukz: yes
[02:59] <dukz> thanks :)
[02:59] <{chmod}755> dukz, no worries
[03:00] <binMonkey> ziroday: just add the force line somewhere at the bottom?
[03:00] <eltume> How do you evoke the firefox profilemanager ?? I tried this link: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Linux.
[03:00] <yxz97> why is the latest version of firefox 3.5 but ubuntu repo is 3.0 ?
[03:00] <ziroday> binMonkey: I'm confused as to what you are trying to do
[03:00] <ultraparadigm> jeffreyf, did you get my last reply?
[03:00] <keepsake> yxz97: The repo is 3.5, I'm pretty sure
[03:00] <yxz97> I want the 3.5 how can I get it with apt-get ?
[03:00] <ziroday> yxz97: which version of ubuntu?
[03:01] <keepsake> yxz97: sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade firefox
[03:01] <{chmod}755> yxz97, When each release of Ubuntu is developed it has feature and package freezes. If a package is old in the repo it's because of the freeze. It'll be corrected in the update(s).
[03:01] <keepsake> !info firefox | yxz97
[03:01] <yxz97> 9.04 I have
[03:01] <binMonkey> ziroday: xubuntu has a shutdown problem.  before you could add apm=force (that's not the correct line but i can't remember it now) to /boot/grub/menu.lst to fix it.
[03:01] <eltume> how do i evoke the firefox profilemanager???
[03:01] <deltaray_> Dr_Willis: Fixed my problem. It turns out, I had disabled the first drive in the bios and forgot about that. Doh!
[03:01] <phong_> i have question: in xchat, is there a way to make me automatic identify myself ?
[03:01] <{chmod}755> yxz97, Well then there you go. You're on 9.04
[03:01] <keepsake> yxz97: That's probably why. The 9.04 repos are older than the 9.10 repos.
[03:01] <phong_> i hate to keep on repeat typing identfy myself
[03:02] <ziroday> binMonkey: read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[03:02] <{chmod}755> phong_, Yes in Network manager.
[03:02] <{chmod}755> phong_, Xchat->Network List-> Freenode (hit edit and enter password)
[03:02] <ultraparadigm> I think I need another IRC client.  Xchat is too much chatter with all the quits showing up in the main window
[03:02] <blakkheim> ultraparadigm: irssi
[03:03] <yxz97> can I still install firefox 3.5 on this version ?
[03:03] <binMonkey> ziroday: i've read that.  it doesn't tell me what file to edit.
[03:03] <eltume> ultra, i think you can turn that off
[03:03] <yxz97> I mean its just from 9.04 to 9.10 is change isn't abismal..
[03:03] <keepsake> yxz97: Yes, but you'll have to download and install the .deb yourself.
[03:03] <ziroday> binMonkey: sorry, you want to add apm=force as a boot option correct?
[03:03] <phong_> ok what about auto join channel
[03:03] <deltaray_> ultraparadigm: I think you have xchat filter out lines like that.
[03:03] <keepsake> yxz97: Is there a specific reason you don't want to upgrade to karmic?
[03:04] <petsounds> yxz97, you can download firefox 3.5 from mozilla website and then extract it and add firefox shell script with alacarte.
[03:04] <{chmod}755> phong_, in the same screen you were just in just type in channels you want to autojoin. Like this -> #Ubuntu,#Linux, etc.
[03:04] <{chmod}755> No spaces between commas and the next channel.
[03:04] <binMonkey> ziroday: yes.  when i do edit grub.cfg it always get removed on subsequent boots by /etc/default/grub.
[03:04] <yxz97> is there a way to get the deb package ..
[03:04] <deltaray_> ultraparadigm: eh, sorry, I thought it did as a checkbox option or something, guess not.
[03:05] <yxz97> I don't want install because I have manyu things currently on these system, and I could lost something..
[03:05] <ahabman3> Is there any way to restart X server without logging out?
[03:05] <{chmod}755> yxz97, Can... can you clarify?
[03:05] <jeffreyf> ultraparadigm  sorry, had to take care of the kid.  Anyway....does that head phone have hands free mic?
[03:05] <askvictor> I have a dual-head setup working with my laptop which works fine, but the mouse resolution/sensitivity changes on one axis when I go into dual-head. Is there a way around this?
[03:05] <yxz97> about what ?
[03:05] <{chmod}755> yxz97, You don't want to update from 9.04 to 9.10?
[03:05] <askvictor> (actually its a trackpad)
[03:06] <keepsake> yxz97: You won't lose anything if you update from 9.04 to 9.10

[03:07] <ultraparadigm__> wierd
[03:07] <phong_> is there a way to make ubuntu run to windows in 2 seconds?
[03:07] <ultraparadigm__> when did I leave?
[03:07] <keepsake> yxz97: Nothing gets replaced, it's more of a software update.
[03:07] <phong_> ;)
[03:07] <{chmod}755> yxz97, You can keep do whatever you want to to it. It's Linux. ;)
[03:07] <ultraparadigm__> phong, I think you want virtualbox

[03:16] <_UsUrPeR_> hey all. I have a GRUB problem. I just installed ubuntu 9.10 on my Windows 7 machine, and it did not detect my Windows install. I am familiar with GRUB legacy, but grub 2.0 is an enigma to me.  That's a tough one. Windows 7, which hovers over you as you sleep and touches itself... Or Dragon Age which redeems almost anything
[03:18] <ardchoille> !ot
[03:18] <_UsUrPeR_> seriously though, is there an auto-detect method I missed or something? I have the old menu.lst from 9.04 still, but I know it's useless with GRUB 2.0
[03:18] <_UsUrPeR_> {chmod}755: If only Steam worked with ubuntu
[03:18] <razertek> can anyone tell me why i can't see myself in nautilus but i can other pcs in my network..? http://pastebin.com/m6072dc25
[03:19] <_UsUrPeR_> s/worked/worked properly
[03:19] <keepsake> _UsUrPeR_: Steam works perfectly fine with Ubuntu
[03:19] <ardchoille> _UsUrPeR_: did you upgrade to 9.10 from 9.04?
[03:19] <keepsake> _UsUrPeR_: Just the games...
[03:19] <{chmod}755> _UsUrPeR_, no, it sounds like you did everything right. I don't know much about how to correct it.
[03:19] <_UsUrPeR_> ardchoille: yeah :/
[03:19] <ardchoille> _UsUrPeR_: then you might still be using grub legacy
[03:19] <_UsUrPeR_> When it asked, I said "replace old with new" or whatever
[03:19] <ardchoille> _UsUrPeR_: Ah, ok
[03:20] <razertek> i have also included wins in the nsswitch.conf
[03:20] <_UsUrPeR_> :O wait
[03:20] <_UsUrPeR_> there's still a menu.lst in there
[03:20] <_UsUrPeR_> ....did not expect that
[03:20]  * _UsUrPeR_ puts his windows partition back in menu.lst
[03:21] <_UsUrPeR_> moment of truth!
[03:21] <_UsUrPeR_> I'll be back... or not

[03:23] <ae86-drifter> mobility HD (laptop)
[03:24] <keepsake> ae86-drifter: You might need to manually install drivers from ATI
[03:24] <keepsake> ae86-drifter: Are you running karmic?
[03:25] <ae86-drifter> keepsake, they do not seem to have it there, ATI's site says to refer to vendor's site which is Acer, yes im running karmic.
[03:25] <yxz97> petsounds, installed fine, but cannot get running this version just appear the older one ..
[03:26] <yxz97> already close firefox check with ps -e | grep firefox in order to see if there us an instance of firefox running, and nothing,
[03:26] <keepsake> ae86-drifter: Is your graphics card integrated or regular?
[03:26] <yxz97> please help.
[03:26] <razertek> you guys are a lil more active than #samba right now think one of you might can help please?
[03:26] <keepsake> ae86-drifter: Also, 32bit or 64bit?
[03:26] <petsounds> yxz97, it's called shiretoko not firefox.
[03:27] <yxz97> what ? how, they change firefox name to shiretoko ?
[03:27] <yxz97> really?
[03:27] <keepsake> ae86-drifter: Nevermind, I see what you mean. You'll probably need to wait until they release a version for Linux then =\
[03:28] <petsounds> yxz97, shiretoko is codename for ff 3.5
[03:28] <yxz97> where do you have it ?
[03:28] <yxz97> no after updatedb && locate shiretoko, get nothing..
[03:28] <yxz97> hell
[03:28] <petsounds> yxz97, can you see it on internet menu?
[03:29] <yxz97> yes
[03:29] <yxz97> but launched from there launchs the older version
[03:29] <yxz97> why ?
[03:29] <ae86-drifter> keepsake, its 32 bit, its a dedicated laptop graphics card
[03:29] <ultraparadigm> Darn it to heck! Everytime I close openarena it crashes and doesn't bring my back to X desktop.  I have to kill the process and then fix my desktop resolution
[03:30] <petsounds> yxz97, ok. ill pm you.. it's a busy channel.
[03:33] <keepsake> ae86-drifter: You'll probably have to wait for drivers to come out for it =\
[03:33] <cdoublejj> ae86 is a sweet car i might add
[03:38] <ae86-drifter> keepsake, hmm that sux, do u know if there may be a development version ? or how to check?
[03:47] <ShapeShifter499> hi,  does anyone know how I can get one of my ubuntu comps to, A. grab main ip address (not one from the router, the internet brodcasted one), and  B. update my no-ip dns, so I'm assured that I can always ssh to my comp?
[03:48] <jrib> ShapeShifter499: use ddclient or one of hundreds of other clients
[03:48] <ShapeShifter499> ddclient?
[03:48] <jrib> !info ddclient | ShapeShifter499
[03:48] <ShapeShifter499> it works for no-ip?
[03:49] <jrib> ShapeShifter499: or do « apt-cache search no-ip »
[03:49] <jrib> ShapeShifter499: I don't know, check.  inadyn and noip2 seem to turn up in the search
[03:49] <ShapeShifter499> well noip2(one thats made for it) don't seem to work
[03:49] <jrib> !doesn't work | ShapeShifter499
[03:50]  * Dr_Willis dosent work if he can help it.
[03:51] <ShapeShifter499> I tell it to update every 5 mins, but when the ip updates to a new one, and I don't know it, I check to find that noip2 hasn't updated yet
[03:52] <pfifo> Hello all, I could use some advice, I have purchased a external usb harddrive, right now it is formatted with fat32 one big partition, everything was working fine until I wanted to make a file larger than 2GB :( I want to format it so that I can use it to store large files but I also want (no need) to make it plug and play with windows
[03:52] <ShapeShifter499> I type slow btw, so I was typing the why I think it dosen't work when the warning message about "dosen't work"
[03:53] <ShapeShifter499> cane up

[03:53] <jrib> ShapeShifter499: try inadyn I guess
[03:53] <bovine> seeking some help with getting a droboshare to mount under ubuntu 9.10. i can map to it via Places/Connect to Server but figuring out the actual mounting process is giving me some trouble
[03:53] <blendmaster1024> pfifo, i would put a ntfs partition on it if i needed to use it with windows, or and ext3 if i didn't
[03:53] <ShapeShifter499> jrib: ok
[03:54] <pfifo> blendmaster1024, but is NTFS going to pose a problem with linux? and can i move from computer to computer in windows with NTFS without permission problems?
[03:54] <ShapeShifter499> jrib: I googled it, it looks promising
[03:54] <jrib> ShapeShifter499: it's in the repositories
[03:55] <blendmaster1024> it should work just fine with windows. as for linux, ubuntu will work fine, but most other linuxes won't
[03:55] <ShapeShifter499> jrib: not on my ubuntu comp atm so I had to google it
[03:56] <rahduke> so how can i create a bootable iso copy of my ubuntu installation? All packages drivers etc etc...
[03:56] <ShapeShifter499> jrib: thanks for the help btw
[03:57] <pfifo> hmm, thanks for the help, its worth a shot failing this im going to repartition with a small fat32 file system at the beginning that contains ext2 drivers for windows, which is kinda ugly but next best thing.
[03:57] <rahduke> i do want to exclude a few folders
[03:58] <ShapeShifter499> I
[03:58] <ShapeShifter499> I'm going to go
[03:58] <ShapeShifter499> bye
[03:59] <pfifo> Also btw, I remember linux had a great virus scanner that could be used to scan a windows partition from linux, what was that package again?
[03:59] <happy> pfifo: clamav?
[03:59] <pfifo> ty, thats it
[04:00] <CAPcap_> Blender wont run, if i run from the terminal it says Segmentation Fault. Who can help me?
[04:00] <isolat3dsh33p> guys, is there a command way to add a repository?
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> isolat3dsh33p:  yes there is.. but i forget teh command.
[04:02] <happy> isolat3dsh33p: what type of repo?
[04:02] <happy> ppa?
[04:02] <N1XF0RC3> hello i need help in that i get error while i install svn http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1869df54
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> I see it on the various ppa repo instructions all the time
[04:02] <ZykoticK9> isolat3dsh33p, if you're adding a PPA to Karmic check out the "add-apt-repository" command - very handy
[04:03] <isolat3dsh33p> happy, not sure really.
[04:03] <happy> isolat3dsh33p: I would just make a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d and add it there
[04:03] <N1XF0RC3> any idea?
[04:03] <CAPcap_> Blender wont run, if i run from the terminal it says Segmentation Fault. Who can help me?
[04:04] <isolat3dsh33p> happy, done that. But using single line command is more awesome. :) ZykoticK9 not sure if it's a PPA. :/
[04:04] <N1XF0RC3> hello i need help in that i get error while i install svn http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1869df54 any idea ?
[04:04] <happy> isolat3dsh33p: what is the repo you want to add?
[04:04] <AussieGuy> Can you plug a DVI-I cable into a DVI-D socket? (from my DVI-I graphics card to my DVI-D monitor)
[04:04] <isolat3dsh33p> happy, Ethereal's a debian repository :/
[04:05] <zenlunatic> its wireshark now
[04:05] <happy> isolat3dsh33p: I think you need to add it by hand :-\
[04:05] <N1XF0RC3> ?
[04:05] <Kentrel> I'm having major trouble with Ubuntu. My network is being hogged by some hidden program
[04:05] <zenlunatic> Kentrel: top
[04:06] <Kentrel> I booted into Ubuntu just now, and there was something uploading at 180kb/s. All of my processes except Xorg and System monitor were sleeping
[04:06] <Kentrel> Both cores of my AMD were running at about 50%!
[04:06] <N1XF0RC3> ubuntu Hardy > i need help in that i get error while i install svn http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/m1869df54 any idea ?
[04:06] <isolat3dsh33p> happy, sighs. Thanks anyway. :)
[04:06] <Kentrel> But I couldn't see what was doing it in the process viewer!
[04:06] <sgtmattbaker> This may not be the right place, but can someone direct me to where I could know whether to SSL the connection to an IRC server or SSL to a proxy and then connect through them.  Who can help me?
[04:08] <Kentrel> CAPcap_ try #blender
[04:08] <sgtmattbaker> zenlunatic: I dont have any secure hosts set up and I dont have any proxy services I pay for
[04:08] <zenlunatic> sgtmattbaker: you can also use screen but that might be complicated
[04:08] <Kentrel> Sounds like an issue with the open gl libraries
[04:09] <zenlunatic> sgtmattbaker: oh well thats my suggestion good luck
[04:09] <happy> sgtmattbaker: you can get a shell at ispeeds,net for $4/month
[04:09] <zenlunatic> sgtmattbaker: whoever is telling you about irc sounds dumb no offense
[04:10] <zenlunatic> sgtmattbaker: ie has far more holes they should ban it too
[04:10] <sgtmattbaker> zenlunatic: Well, it is banned on the student computers in the computer science lab at least, and the guy who works in the tech center says that the MUDs and IRC aren't allowed because of it
[04:10] <zenlunatic> sgtmattbaker: at least unpatched win boxes to be fair
[04:10] <happy> sgtmattbaker: I agree with zenlunatic
[04:11] <Kentrel> Can anyone help me? Something is taking over my system and uploading at 200kb/s! i can't find what process it could be
[04:11] <sgtmattbaker> Yeah, IE probably has more security holes. What about firefox?
[04:11] <Kentrel> I ran Wireshark and I got a whole bunch of packets signed as 16 unsigned audio data
[04:11] <zenlunatic> sgtmattbaker: kinda off topic at this point
[04:11] <happy> Kentrel: maybe netstat can give you that info. How do you know something is uploading?
[04:11] <Dr_Willis> sgtmattbaker:  the statement 'irc has security holes' is about as valid as saying 'web browsers  and servers have security holes'
[04:12] <Kentrel> Because I right click on the system monitor and it says Uploading at 200 kb/s
[04:12] <Dr_Willis> 'computers and operating systems have security holes'
[04:12] <Kentrel> And I can barely connect to any sites
[04:12] <Kentrel> I tried netstat, but netstat ran really slow, pausing for up to a minute between showing the next item
[04:12] <zenlunatic> sgtmattbaker: maybe talk to his supervisor *shrug*
[04:13] <happy> sgtmattbaker: what everyone is saying is right. But as a high school kid. My suggestion is to not listen to them and pipe your data through a shell at ispeeds.net. It costs less than$4/month
[04:13] <sgtmattbaker> Yeah, I really want to set up a secure connection to a secure proxy and secure anything I do network wise
[04:13] <sgtmattbaker> I just want to at least encrypt my connection for the web surfing and other network stuff I do at work
[04:13] <zenlunatic> there are some free shell accounts on there but next to all of them disallow irc
[04:13] <fission6> i just installed ubunu 9.10 using the minimal iso which i set to have the ubuntu desktop profile, i am getting a command line when i boot but i am curious how i get it to automatically boot into a window system (like it does when you do a typical install form live cd) do i need to configure/install something
[04:13] <Dr_Willis> ive noticed many 'free' internet places  at hospitals and so forth blocking more and more  every month.
[04:14] <happy> sgtmattbaker:you can get a vpn, shell, ect
[04:14] <arghh2d2> fission6: gdm
[04:14] <blakkheim> Dr_Willis: this is why you tunnel everything through ssh
[04:14] <zenlunatic> sgtmattbaker: setting up a home server is a great fun project to pursue
[04:14] <fission6> arghh2d2: fission6: gdm -> sudo apt-get gnome-desktop-manager?
[04:15] <arghh2d2> fission6: affirmitave
[04:15] <sgtmattbaker> I hate to keep this in #ubuntu, but I have a couple more questions if you are willin g
[04:16] <fission6> will that make it load automatically on reboot or do i need to add that to something so i go straight to GUI and not ocmmand line?
[04:16] <Kentrel> okay, so next time I have this strange problem, what can I do to block the IP address?
[04:16] <arghh2d2> sgtmattbaker: is that nick an homage to primus?
[04:17] <arghh2d2> fission6: gdm is your keyword, plug that into google
[04:17] <sgtmattbaker> arghh2d2: No, but I udnerstand what you are talking about. It is actually the name of the main character in the Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 and Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway video game
[04:17] <arghh2d2> fission6: i dont use gdm or even ubuntu
[04:18] <fission6> i am, and i am comfortable installing it i just dont want to have to type startx i want it to boot straight to the gui
[04:18] <fission6> oh ok
[04:18] <arghh2d2> sgtmattbaker: right on, maybe the video game was inspired by the song

[04:24] <Santisnight> fail on my part.
[04:25] <keepsake> N1XF0RC3: You need to update your libsvnl
[04:27] <Santisnight> Lets see, maybe if i describd my problem better? Whenever i move my mouse, a strange sound comes from the speakers, like crickets chirping at a rapid pace. Which is VERY bothersome. it seems to go away from time to time but it allways seems to stay for longer than it's gone. can anyone help?
[04:27] <arghh2d2> Santisnight: i have no idea
[04:28] <Santisnight> :T thanks for trying, anyone else?
[04:28] <bovine> having trouble getting a droboshare to mount under ubuntu 9.10. i can map to it via Places/Connect to Server but the actual mounting process is giving me some trouble.
[04:28] <bovine> i've tried sudo mount -t drobo/drobo /mnt/drobo but it keeps returning "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on drobo/drobo, missing codepage or helper program, or other error"
[04:29] <isolat3dsh33p> Anyone knows how to play with Wireshark? In the capture options, there's IP address is unknown, and I'm not sure what to put in the interface area. :(
[04:31] <Dr_Willis> bovine:   You mean to say you can manually mount it via the gui. but you want to do so via the command line?
[04:31] <Hilikus> is there a way to generate random passwords in ubuntu?
[04:33] <isolat3dsh33p> do I need to be root to run Wireshark? :/
[04:33] <blakkheim> isolat3dsh33p: if you have to ask that maybe you shouldn't be using something like wireshark
[04:34] <Dr_Willis> isolat3dsh33p:  very likely
[04:35] <isolat3dsh33p> blakkheim, it's an assignment =_= | Dr_Willis, like « gksudo wireshark » ?
[04:37] <isolat3dsh33p> I got this warning-> "Running as root could be dangerous", but I continued. I'm not sure which interface should be used. I'm using wireless. My lab manual is for Windows =_=
[04:38] <blakkheim> isolat3dsh33p: man wireshark
[04:38] <isolat3dsh33p> blakkheim, ok, thanks ;)
[04:39] <suprsonic> what packages are required to mount NFS exports from a NFS server?
[04:39] <DILS-VBOX> isolat3dsh33p, as root you will be able to capture on the psuedo interface all traffic as reg user you wont
[04:39] <blakkheim> suprsonic: nfs-common
[04:40] <suprsonic> blakkheim: anything else I need to do after that?
[04:40] <blakkheim> suprsonic: all you asked was the package name
[04:41] <suprsonic> http://pastebin.com/d3d5b261d
[04:41] <suprsonic> that's what Im getting when trying to mount a FreeBSD export
[04:41] <ymanton> which package installs 'system->preferences->power management'? i tried devicekit-power, but thats not it
[04:42] <isolat3dsh33p> DILS-VBOX, I've run it as root, and I think I catch some packets. And i feel l337 LOL. I'm not sure why I got the warning it could be dangerous to run as root though. :(
[04:42] <blakkheim> isolat3dsh33p: vulnerabilities in wireshark
[04:42] <Dr_Willis> isolat3dsh33p:  because its dangerous to run anything as root to some degree
[04:43] <ymanton> can someone at least check what that menu item calls? i can search for that
[04:44] <isolat3dsh33p> blakkheim, Dr_Willis, ouch. But I need to finish this assignment. :( Thanks. ^.~
[04:44] <IdleOne> ymanton: gnome-power-preferences
[04:45] <suprsonic> thanks blakkheim
[04:45] <ymanton> IdleOne: thanks
[04:46] <IdleOne> ymanton: that's not it sorry
[04:47] <IdleOne> ymanton: gnome-power-manager should be right
[04:48] <NotTooSmart> I am not able to delete directories on my samba share unless I chmod them to 777 which requires opening an ssh connection, the drive is encrypted but unlocked and I can read/write to it just not delete some dirs.....
[04:48] <ymanton> yeah, google found it, thanks
[04:48] <scunizi> NotTooSmart: even with rm -rf <path to directory>
[04:48] <scunizi> NotTooSmart: or the same with sudo in front?
[04:48] <NotTooSmart> scunizi, with right click on windows...
[04:49] <NotTooSmart> scunizi, the ubuntu machine is my server
[04:49] <scunizi> NotTooSmart: ah.. windows client and linux host.. most likely it's something in the samba config.. unfortunately I don't know samba that well
[04:50] <razertek> #samba is quiet right now can someone help me?
[04:50] <NotTooSmart> scunizi, heh, I'm pretty sure the samba config is correct since it worked before
[04:50] <NotTooSmart> razertek, whats your issue?
[04:51] <razertek> k
[04:51] <razertek> i cannot see my self in nautilus the network part
[04:51] <razertek> but i can my dads machine and borthers
[04:51] <scunizi> NotTooSmart: works with the exception of deleting directories.. so if that worked before but doesn't now then something changed.. you might look for an autobackup of the samba.conf or smb.conf file, check the date and compare it to what is currently being used. maybe an update changed something.
[04:52] <NotTooSmart> scunizi, my smb.conf is only like 10 lines
[04:52] <razertek> http://pastebin.com/m5da0851b
[04:52] <Dr_Willis> set up some shares and check yoru workgroup razertek ?
[04:53] <razertek> yea its all there...look at my pastebin
[04:54] <razertek> testparm reports back fine
[04:54] <NotTooSmart> razertek, try editing mine... backup yours first though
[04:54] <NotTooSmart> http://pastebin.com/m633ee322
[04:54] <razertek> k
[04:54] <razertek> i was wanting my security set to user
[04:54] <razertek> is this ok?
[04:54] <NotTooSmart> razertek, if it works for you yea
[04:55] <razertek> whats the file stanza for exactly
[04:55] <razertek> NotTooSmart: *
[04:55] <NotTooSmart> thats the name
[04:56] <razertek> NotTooSmart: was wondering how it could help making my pc appearant on the network
[04:57] <NotTooSmart> razertek, because that config works to my knowledge, so if you edited it to your needs it might work for you...
[04:57] <razertek> k
[04:57] <razertek> i'll try adding it
[04:58] <zetheroo> can someone help me figure out how to implement the fix mentioned towards the bottom of this page? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/istanbul/+bug/63996?comments=all
[04:58] <razertek> now i will have to reboot to see if it works becuae it might just by resetting the server but that is totaly different from having it work everytime the pc boots
[04:59] <keepsake> zetheroo: What post#?
[04:59] <NotTooSmart> razertek, sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[04:59] <zetheroo> um
[04:59] <N1XF0RC3> when i install subversion: Depends: libsvn1 error any idea ?
[04:59] <NotTooSmart> razertek, no need to restart
[05:00] <Dr_Willis> itz best to use 'sudo service whatever restart'  also
[05:00] <zetheroo> keepsake:  #54 I think ...?
[05:00] <razertek> yea that generally makes things work...but not on reboot
[05:00] <NotTooSmart> razertek, um, yea its going to work on reboot too..
[05:00] <NotTooSmart> I am not able to delete directories on my samba share unless I chmod them to 777 which requires opening an ssh connection, the drive is encrypted but unlocked and I can read/write to it just not delete some dirs.....
[05:01] <keepsake> zetheroo: You'll have to download the source and the diff file, and patch the original file with the diff; then compile.
[05:01] <Dr_Willis> thers some options in the smb.conf file for default directory/files permiossions
[05:01] <keepsake> N1XF0RC3: Have you tried updating the libsvn1?
[05:01] <NotTooSmart> Dr_Willis, i have them all set to 0777
[05:02] <razertek> NotTooSmart: k i was just wondering how sometimes when i edit the smb.conf and do a samba restart it gets thhings working but when i reboot the next time they are not
[05:02] <keepsake> N1XF0RC3: If you go into synaptic and type in "libsvn1", do you see a newer version you can update to?
[05:02] <Dr_Willis> NotTooSmart:  the samba permiisons are applied when someone puts/makes a file/dir in the share.  the current permissiins of the directory do not apply
[05:02] <NotTooSmart> razertek, weird, its the same config file, so as long as samba loads on boot it should be consistent
[05:02] <razertek> yea thats what i thought
[05:02] <razertek> i am still learning =)
[05:03] <NotTooSmart> Dr_Willis, well, the dirs are being made by a program run in 'sudo' on the ubuntu machine, is that the problem, and if so how do I fix?
[05:03] <zetheroo> keepsake: ok ... so should I remove the version i have currently installed?
[05:03] <NotTooSmart> Dr_Willis, not running in sudo is not an option either.
[05:03] <keepsake> zetheroo: Yes; you'll have to recompile a new version from source.
[05:03] <razertek> NotTooSmart: what does /crypt represent as a whole
[05:03] <zetheroo> keepsake: oh I see ...
[05:04] <NotTooSmart> razertek, on my system or to you? its the shared directory
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> NotTooSmart:  the samba service has  options as to what permissions are set  - on files/dirs on creation.  from the smb.conf file -->
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> # File creation mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> # create files with group=rw permissions, set next parameter to 0775.
[05:05] <razertek> NotTooSmart: yes...but is it like a config folder for having things work in the smb.conf as a whole or just some share you have and i dont?
[05:05] <Dr_Willis> thats setable on a per share basis i do belive.
[05:05] <NotTooSmart> Dr_Willis, the problem is, im not creating the dir's on windows, and I have directory mask = 0777 already
[05:05] <zetheroo> keepsake: I found the website for Istanbul ... there is a tar.bz2 download and the Ubuntu .deb downloads
[05:06] <Dishtroyer> Ubuntu refuses to let me log in. I type in my username and password and it acts like I'm logging in, but then immediately throws me back to the log in screen. HELP!
[05:06] <Miracle> hi all - i have figured out how to mount mt iphone and can upload music to it but I cannot get my iphone to see the new music. does anyone know how to do this?
[05:06] <NotTooSmart> Dishtroyer, if you hold ctrl+alt+f2 and try to log in from there what happens?
[05:06] <keepsake> zetheroo: You'll want the tar file.
[05:07] <andruk> hello?
[05:07] <NotTooSmart> Dr_Willis, if it helps http://pastebin.com/m633ee322 is my samba config atm.
[05:07] <razertek> rebooting...
[05:07] <Dishtroyer> Nottoosmart.. I don't know
[05:07] <zetheroo> keepsake: ok I got it .. and extracted it ... do I just find that screencast.py file and copy paste the info in the fix?
[05:08] <Out_Cold> so.. i've flushed my iptables trying to sort out some nfs connection problems.. so far this is what i have: http://pastebin.com/m189fa215 still can't mount.. maybe portmapper or iptables?
[05:08] <Dishtroyer> Do I cntrl+alt+F2 at the log in screen?
[05:09] <NotTooSmart> Dishtroyer, yea
[05:09] <Dishtroyer> OK... this may take a bit. Be back in a while
[05:09] <andruk> im trying to package my own shared library, and the packages i install from launchpad dont actually install the library (or its header files).  does anybody know whats going on?
[05:09] <keepsake> zetheroo: Actually, I'm sorry, download the deb instead.
[05:09] <Dishtroyer> TY
[05:09] <zetheroo> keepsake: oh really?
[05:09] <keepsake> Then patch the deb with the debdiff
[05:10] <rahduke> here's a tough one, say you had a folder with lots of subfolders, some are filled with rars some are not. How would u go about extracting all the files from each of the folders with rar files
[05:10] <rahduke> I don't want to do this one by 1
[05:10] <keepsake> zetheroo: Follow these instructions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuPackagingGuide/BuildFromDebdiff?highlight=%28debdiff%29
[05:10] <Dr_Willis> rahduke:  with some fancy scripting.
[05:10] <razertek> NotTooSmart: i can see myself now but i cannot mount myself
[05:10] <zetheroo> keepsake: ok
[05:10] <rahduke> Dr_Willis: care to point me in the right direction?
[05:10] <NotTooSmart> razertek, mount your self?
[05:10] <Dr_Willis> !abs | rahduke
[05:11] <razertek> NotTooSmart: when i double click on my name in network
[05:11] <Dr_Willis> rahduke:  and creative use of the find command.
[05:11] <razertek> through nautilus
[05:11] <Out_Cold> rahduke, not sure if this would work, but an ls /dir/* | grep .rar > unrar or something??
[05:11] <rahduke> Dr_Willis: prolly faster to do it 1 by one then learn how to write bash scripts
[05:11] <Dr_Willis> rahduke:  yep.  depends on your needs.. you go 10 to do.. or 10,0000
[05:11] <NotTooSmart> razertek, why do you need to view your own files over the network on your local machine?
[05:11] <rahduke> bout 120 or so
[05:11] <Out_Cold> rahduke, bash scripting is as easy as typing in the bash
[05:12] <Dr_Willis> I tend to avoide silly rar archives
[05:12] <Dr_Willis> !info unp | rahduke
[05:12] <rahduke> Out_Cold: I really don't know the 1st thing about bash
[05:12] <razertek> well it makes for good propagation of a network setup to be able to do so ande also tells me if others will be able to access my machine by testing it on mine
[05:12] <Out_Cold> rahduke, then maybe 1x1. i can script but for the things i know how to do.. i've never tried to script for un-raring before
[05:13] <razertek> since win users like to double click =)
[05:13] <NotTooSmart> razertek, i am not sure, my ubuntu server does not use a GUI, so I usually just test from windows
[05:13] <rahduke> Out_Cold: can you tell me how to sort my folders by how many files are contained within?
[05:13] <Out_Cold> anyone have any ideas on http://pastebin.com/m189fa215 i can't mount my nfs
[05:14] <uplinx> if i used the split command on a file, how do i unsplit it?
[05:14] <razertek> NotTooSmart: thankyou for helping me though
[05:14] <Out_Cold> rahduke, that would be an ls option if there is one
[05:14] <Out_Cold> uplinx, cat file1 file2 file3
[05:14] <uplinx> ah thanks Out_Cold
[05:14] <Out_Cold> ** cat f1 f2 f3 > newfile
[05:14] <rahduke> Out_Cold: Ill check it out
[05:16] <razertek> Out_Cold: did you mount from /dev?
[05:17] <Out_Cold> razertek, it's not a /dev
[05:17] <Out_Cold> i can try though i guess..
[05:18] <Out_Cold> no that won't work because the exportfs is what i should mount
[05:18] <zetheroo> anyone know what the command is to apply a patch to source code?
[05:18] <blakkheim> zetheroo: man patch
[05:19] <keepsake> zetheroo: Follow the instructions, it says to "cd PACKAGE-* && patch -pl < ../DEBDIFF"
[05:19] <Hilikus> what are the recommended folders to backup in a desktop appart from /home and /etc?
[05:19] <Hilikus>  /usr?
[05:19] <razertek> Out_Cold: so you are using udp?
[05:20] <keepsake> zetheroo: You need to change the PACKAGE with the name of the package and DEBDIFF with the .debdiff file
[05:20] <morphix> Out_Cold: how about you remove your INPUT iptables rules altogether?
[05:20] <Out_Cold> morphix, i will try that
[05:20] <razertek> out_cold
[05:20] <zetheroo> keepsake: what is the debdiff? It says to download the debdiff ...
[05:20] <morphix> they seem pointless as you have allowed all and then.. allowed a  few port indiviaul aswell
[05:21] <Out_Cold> razertek, tcp i'm pretty sure
[05:21] <razertek> Out_Cold: change: 2049/tcp open   nfs to 2049/udp open   nfs
[05:21] <keepsake> zetheroo: This file: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36229421/istanbul_0.2.2-5ubuntu1.debdiff
[05:21] <razertek> nfs is atop udp not tcp
[05:21] <razertek> learning as i read from my book
[05:21] <zetheroo> keepsake: ok thanks
[05:22] <Out_Cold> yea it must be that rule.. perhaps it is udp then
[05:22] <Out_Cold> it mounts now without the rules so i guess i should figure out the rules a bit more
[05:23] <zetheroo> keepsake: so I paste that text into gedit and save it as .debdiff
[05:23] <keepsake> zetheroo: Yup
[05:23] <razertek> Out_Cold: maybe you dont have to erase the rules just try changing it to udp
[05:24] <Out_Cold> it's a pain trying to figure out which apps access which files like /etc/hosts.allow and firestarter and iptables
[05:24] <Dishtroyer> NotttooSmart: I was ablt to log in but there is no graphics.
[05:24] <Out_Cold> razertek, i already erased them... best i do again and get the experience
[05:25] <Dishtroyer> The graphical log in doesn't work.
[05:26] <razertek> Out_Cold: true...but use whereis to find apps and their related files
[05:26] <keepsake> Dishtroyer: I don't know what the context is, but have you tried startx?
[05:27] <Out_Cold> how do i use redirect to iptables-restore? like iptables-restore < /iptables.bk
[05:27] <Dishtroyer> keepsake: what is startx?
[05:27] <razertek> >
[05:27] <Out_Cold> to restore though? won't that overwrite it?
[05:28] <razertek> well there is more use a redirect with append options and not overwrite
[05:28] <keepsake> Dishtroyer: It starts X, the graphic thing.
[05:28] <razertek> like >>
[05:29] <keepsake> Dishtroyer: I don't really know what your problem is though, sorry >__<
[05:29] <Dishtroyer> Here is the context. Ubuntu will not allow me to log in using the graphical interface. Nottoosmart told me to try a cntrl+alt+F2
[05:29] <keepsake> Dishtroyer: Are you in TTY?
[05:30] <Dishtroyer> keepsake it will allow me to log in in tty mode
[05:30] <Out_Cold> razertek, i wanted to pipe the contents of /iptable.bk to iptables-restore. I tried your way and overwrote it.. had to use the <
[05:30] <keepsake> Dishtroyer: In TTY type startx
[05:30] <Dishtroyer> I am currently using windows at the moment
[05:31] <Dishtroyer> keepsake: OK..  I have to reboot. Thank you.
[05:31] <razertek> example: ls >> test.txt
[05:31] <razertek> should work
[05:32] <razertek> Out_Cold: or did you try <<
[05:33] <Out_Cold> razertek, single < did the trick
[05:33] <Hilikus> why isn't root internal mails forwarded to the main admin user by default??
[05:33] <blah569> I restarted my Ubuntu server, which completely messed up MySQL.  I've tried to completely uninstall it, and install a new copy.  It always fails on the sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start.  How can I completely remove the package?
[05:33] <blah569> I must be doing something wrong.
[05:33] <scunizi> Hilikus: i ran into those once.. but I've forgotten were to look for them.. where did you find them?
[05:34] <Hilikus> blah569: start in safe mode and remove it
[05:34] <Hilikus> scunizi: /etc/aliases
[05:34] <razertek> Out_Cold: but gets overwritten?
[05:34] <blah569> Hilikus:  How can I remove it though?  What packages do I need to remove?
[05:34] <Hilikus> blah569: why do you want to remove it?
[05:34] <Out_Cold> no.. the > overwrote not <
[05:35] <Hilikus> why not try to fix the problems
[05:35] <obiwan_> please, could anybody talk to me about gpg validation? i read that if some trusted friend validates a key, and you add that key, then that key is automatically validated because your trusted friend has it already validated it. But what's up with validation? what's the diff between a validated key and a not valid one?
[05:35] <blah569> Hilikus:  It's broken.  I restarted my server, and then whenever I try to use: sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start [FAIL] is returned.  I didn't change anything.  It doesn't work anymore.
[05:35] <razertek> o
[05:35] <blah569> It's very annoying that it just completely stopped working without changing anything.
[05:35] <razertek> so the < appends as well?
[05:35] <Flannel> obiwan_: #gnupg can probably answer that a lot better than we can
[05:35] <Hilikus> blah569: thats no reason to remove mysql, just fix it. what errors do you get?
[05:35] <scunizi> blah569: try sudo service mysql start  .. might also be mysql5
[05:36] <razertek> Out_Cold: so the < will append aswell?
[05:37] <Out_Cold> razertek, the < pipes backwards... no appending
[05:37] <obiwan_> thanks Flannel it's funny, two days asking for that channel, and i found it a couple hours before (nobody has yet answered my question there btw ) and now not only i find the channel, but you know it too :P . thanks anyway Flannel i'm about to be officially ubunter and just wanted to know thaat before signing with my key :)
[05:37] <blah569> scunizi:   * Starting MySQL database server mysqld                                 [fail] - is what I get when using sudo service mysql start
[05:37] <Out_Cold> razertek, instead of > to file it's < from file
[05:37] <scunizi> blah569: when you installed did it ask for a password?
[05:38] <Hilikus> blah569: check the logs
[05:38] <blah569> scunizi:  it asked for a password
[05:38] <scunizi> blah569: not for the install itself but for the database access
[05:38] <Hilikus> syslog or whatever is in /var/log/mysql
[05:38] <Hilikus> blah569: why do you have mysql to begin with?
[05:38] <obiwan_> to append use double arrows instead
[05:38] <razertek> thats what i thought at first now i am back to knowing that =)
[05:39] <blah569> Hilikus:  It's the database engine that I use for my sever
[05:39] <obiwan_> sry actuall just right arrows append, left ones mean heredoc
[05:39] <Flannel> obiwan_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto  When you sign someone's key (different than signing a file), you're saying that they are who they claim to be, and their key is their own.  And then separately, you can set how 'paranoid' you are with your trust (if you trust someone your friend trusts, etc).  #gnupg can give you all sorts of nice details that I can't
[05:40] <obiwan_> there's a good guide about forwarding , they told me the link in #bash channel, maybe you can ask there for it
[05:41] <Hilikus> blah569: check the logs and take it from there
[05:41] <blah569> the log is empty
[05:41] <Hilikus> which one?
[05:41] <spridel> okay, somehow using the kill select did not completely kill firefox
[05:41] <spridel> nvm
[05:41] <blah569> the /var/log/mysql is empty Hilikus
[05:42] <Hilikus> check /var/log/mysql (dir) and /var/log/mysql.log and /var/log/mysql.err
[05:43] <obiwan_> ok Flannel i get it :)
[05:43] <snadge> my printer is setup.. and its working, but if i go to print a particular pdf file using "document viewer" .. i can see the job go into the queue, the activity light on the printer starts flashing.. then it just disappears from the queue and nothing is printed out :(
[05:43] <obiwan_> Flannel: and thanks again :)
[05:44] <Out_Cold> can't seem to get it right with the udp rules
[05:44] <snadge> what alternatives apart from document viewer.. can i use to print pdf files reliably?
[05:44] <blah569> sudo nano  /var/log/mysql.log returns empty
[05:44] <snadge> or should i just do it from windows in a virtual machine
[05:44] <obiwan_> snadge: did you check it's paper right?
[05:44] <scunizi> snadge: how many printers does your system have listed as installed?
[05:44] <snadge> yes.. paper is loaded.. i can print.. my guess is document viewer.. or the rendering process is crashing
[05:44] <snadge> just the one.. a hp laserjet 5M connected via lpt1
[05:44] <blah569> mysql.log exists too
[05:45] <Dr_Willis> thats almost as old as my laserjet 6L :)
[05:45] <Hilikus> blah569:  what abour .err
[05:45] <scunizi> snadge: sometimes it works better if you print the pdf to another pdf then print that one to the printer.
[05:45] <scunizi> snadge: some pdf's are quirky
[05:45] <snadge> interesting idea.. so how do i print to pdf?
[05:46] <Out_Cold> my new iptables: http://pastebin.com/m43759551  still can't nfs mount
[05:46] <blah569> ahh, mysql.err is empty too Hilikus
[05:46] <snadge> i wonder if i can install adobe's acroreader on linux
[05:46] <MenZa> snadge: Sure. Check out Medibuntu.
[05:46] <scunizi> snadge: you have to add/install another printer.. the easy way might be sudo apt-get install cupspdf .. perhaps cups-pdf
[05:46] <MenZa> !medibuntu > snadge
[05:47] <Out_Cold> snadge, do a search in synaptic.. there are tons of pdf readers.. one should do what you want it to
[05:47] <scunizi> snadge: adobe is slow and a resource hog
[05:47] <bullgard> Applications > Sound and Video > Pulse Audio Volume Control > (Volume Control [window]) shows the »Internal Audio Analog Stereo« loudspeaker symbol as muted. How can I unmute it?
[05:47] <Hilikus> blah569: ok so you need to turn on debugging and see what it says
[05:47] <snadge> ok lots of ideas to try now :)
[05:47] <keepsake> snadge: Also, for Windows program compatibility check appdb.
[05:47] <Out_Cold> bullgard, run alsamixer from the terminal and use the M key to mute/unmute
[05:47] <scunizi> snadge: a new viewer might not fix your printing problem though
[05:47] <keepsake> !appdb > snadge
[05:47] <Hilikus> blah569: are you sure you are opening existing files and not just creating empty files that don't exist?
[05:48] <Out_Cold> snadge, linux is the foundation of new and exciting ideas ;)
[05:48] <Out_Cold> 1 problem 236729 solutions :p
[05:51] <Hilikus> does ubuntu come with a frontend for crontab or i still need to use the text editor?
[05:51] <bullgard> Out_Cold: alsamixer shows only the controls »Master M«, »Mic Boos« and »External« as muted. Which control do you mean specifically?
[05:51] <scunizi> Hilikus: text editor
[05:51] <Hilikus> scunizi: thanks
[05:52] <Out_Cold> bullgard, which one were you having troubles with?? in my experience with linux... play with it till you either break it or fix it ;)
[05:53] <keepsake> Out_Cold: While that's a good idea, am I the only one that ends up breaking it 90% of the time =P
[05:53] <Out_Cold> keepsake, mine's always broken..
[05:53] <keepsake> Out_Cold: I think today was the first time I did something that didn't break it.
[05:53] <Out_Cold> hence why i spend so much time in here. i just end up helping noobs while i wait for the real gurus
[05:53] <keepsake> Out_Cold: Haha, that's true. I do that too =P
[05:54] <Dishtroyer> keepsake: I got in.. but I had to use recovery mode
[05:54] <keepsake> Dishtroyer: Interesting. You're in X now?
[05:55] <bullgard> Out_Cold: I told you what is bothering me: a muted loudspeker symbol. This inhibits GNOME event sounds. "Play with it" without saying what is 'it' is no precise recipe.
[05:55] <Dishtroyer> keepsake: I assume so. I have all my programs back
[05:56] <Out_Cold> bullgard, if there was a precise recipe for everything.... it's the master MM highlight that and then check again
[05:56] <Out_Cold> **use M to unmute
[05:56] <Dishtroyer> leepsake: but I have to figure out how to get the graphical login to work. I'd hate to have to go through this every time
[05:56] <bullgard> Out_Cold: Thank you for commenting.
[05:56] <zetheroo> keepsake: hey thanks ... I completed that and now the application is working 100%
[05:57] <keepsake> zetheroo: That's great =). Patching is a pretty useful skill, I'm glad you managed to learn it yourself =D
[05:57] <snadge> ok it appears acrobat reader can print out this pdf.. but not document viewer.. oh well :)
[05:58] <Tanthrix> Anyone know anyting about speeding up CIFS mounted windows shares?
[05:58] <Tanthrix> I've got a weird situation going on with two different systems, one taking 1/4 second to traverse a mount, and the other 6-7 seconds.
[05:58] <Out_Cold> bullgard, most of us helping are not too much better than you at the moment... but playing around with anything is a decent idea.. just know or ask in regards to what you are doing... usually someone in here just went through what you did
[05:58] <Tanthrix> (The latter being a Ubuntu 9.10 system)
[05:58] <zetheroo> is it just me or does Ubuntu One work kinda slowly ... especially though a browser ... !?
[05:59] <Out_Cold> i haven't actually used it.. i normally use my nfs server which is ummm broken :p
[05:59] <Dishtroyer> keepsake: Oh crud. Now ubuntu won't let me mount drives. It says I'm not authorized
[06:00] <Out_Cold> speaking of which... can anyone tell me what's wrong with my iptables for nfs?? http://pastebin.com/m43759551
[06:00] <Out_Cold> Dishtroyer, use sudo mount
[06:00] <keepsake> Dishtroyer: Have you tried reconfiguring xserver-xorg?
[06:01] <MHz128> How do I completely disable the touchpad, and then re-enable it when needed?
[06:01] <keepsake> Out_Cold: Better wait a bit longer for those gurus you were talking about =P
[06:01] <Dishtroyer> keepsake: I'm as noobie as they come when it comes to linux..
[06:01] <Out_Cold> bullgard, did the master fix your problem?
[06:01] <keepsake> Dishtroyer: I am too, don't worry. Try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[06:02] <Out_Cold> keepsake, or an angel sent from above ;)
[06:02] <bullgard> No, it did not. Same situation (no sound output) remains.
[06:02] <keepsake> Out_Cold: Damn, how could I have forgotten.
[06:02] <Miracle> !wireless
[06:02] <zetheroo> can i use Ubuntu One to share files with others?
[06:02] <Dishtroyer> keepsake: OK I did that.
[06:02] <keepsake> Dishtroyer: Did the reconfigure work?
[06:03] <Dishtroyer> I don't know.
[06:03] <Out_Cold> zetheroo, I thinks that's the objective of it
[06:03] <keepsake> Dishtroyer: Only one way to find out.
[06:03] <Dishtroyer> Oh crud....
[06:03] <keepsake> Dishtroyer: Get used to it =P It's part of using Linux
[06:03] <zetheroo> Out_Cold: yeah I thought so too ... just am trying to figure out how to do so ..
[06:04] <Out_Cold> zetheroo, are you at the website?
[06:04] <zetheroo> Out_Cold: yes
[06:04] <Dishtroyer> OK BBIAW
[06:04] <zetheroo> Out_Cold: and I have uploaded the file I want to share
[06:04] <Out_Cold> give me a minute to get settled with dinner and i'll look into it with you
[06:05] <zetheroo> Out_Cold: no worries ... cheers
[06:05] <Miracle> !one
[06:05] <Miracle> !one | zetheroo
[06:06] <zetheroo> Miracle: cheers
[06:06] <Miracle> np
[06:06] <zetheroo> Miracle: do you use Ubuntu One?
[06:07] <Miracle> doeI have my iphone 3g mounted but cannot get the iphone to play new songs, does anyone know how to get it to work?
[06:07] <Miracle> zetheroo - no not yet
[06:09] <Out_Cold> zetheroo, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOne/Tutorials/FileSharing#Share%20folders
[06:10] <poyntz> i'm trying to play a certain type of mp3 file and having no luck. please help someone! where can i get the latest libraries?
[06:10] <Out_Cold> solution!!
[06:10] <zetheroo> Out_Cold: hehe ... reading that :)
[06:10] <poyntz> tried amarok, mplayer and audacious
[06:10] <poyntz> nothing will play it
[06:10] <zetheroo> Out_Cold: seems like you can only share with one person at a time ...
[06:10] <Out_Cold> poyntz, try vlc or install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:10] <Dishtroyer> keepsake: this is freaky. It wouldn't let me in on the first try but it did on the second..
[06:10] <poyntz> i'll try the latter, thanks Out_Cold
[06:11] <zetheroo> Out_Cold: I was hoping I could share it and get a link to give to others ...
[06:12] <Dishtroyer> Well at least now I can mount my drives..
[06:12] <Out_Cold> zetheroo, maybe the syncing is an issues? i'd root around some more to be sure
[06:12] <poyntz> Out_Cold: well apparently ubuntu-restricted-extras is already at the latest version :/
[06:12] <Out_Cold> poyntz, try vlc?
[06:12] <Out_Cold> vlc plays almost anything
[06:12] <bullgard> My IBM Thinkpad T43 sound chip is AD1981B. What is the volume control 'Master M(ono)' for in contrast to 'Master'?
[06:13] <poyntz> no luck Out_Cold
[06:13] <geofft> Anyone recently seen a netboot install fail because of a conflict between rarian-compat and scrollkeeper?
[06:13] <geofft> (Not sure if this is a local issue, but I'm pretty sure it isn't)
[06:14] <Out_Cold> poyntz, look to see that you have gstreamer good/bad/ugly plugins installed
[06:14] <Out_Cold> bullgard, just try unmuting all channels that are MM and see if that fixes it
[06:15] <andrew_46> poyntz: I missed the beginning of your question, what are you trying to play?
[06:15] <poyntz> andrew_46: trying to play some mp3 files
[06:15] <poyntz> andrew_46: i'm guessing it's some kind of weird format or something
[06:15] <poyntz> andrew_46: because most mp3 files play
[06:16] <Out_Cold> zetheroo, it looks like you can do multi users but you have to add one by one
[06:16] <andrew_46> poyntz: Are these files available nline somewhere?
[06:16] <Out_Cold> poyntz, could be viral?
[06:16] <zetheroo> Out_Cold: correct ... oh well ... :)
[06:16] <bullgard> Out_Cold: I have done so. It does not fix it.
[06:17] <Out_Cold> bullgard, what about the sys tray icon?? looks like a speaker?
[06:17] <poyntz> andrew_46: downloaded a torrent
[06:18] <poyntz> Out_Cold: would they be the gstream0.10-plugins-ugly that i need?
[06:18] <Out_Cold> poyntz, yes and bad/good
[06:18] <poyntz> so the multiverse stuff
[06:18] <Out_Cold> yup.. it's restricted format
[06:18] <poyntz> k ty trying it now
[06:19] <poyntz> wait
[06:19] <poyntz> if its *-dbg
[06:19] <poyntz> it means it's debug symbols tho ya?
[06:19] <Out_Cold> you don't want the dbg
[06:19] <Out_Cold> just regular
[06:20] <poyntz> ya, i think i've got all the good bad and ugly then
[06:20] <poyntz> only the dbg and the docs aren't installed
[06:20] <Out_Cold> then maybe the file is corrupted
[06:20] <Dishtroyer> A big thank you to keepsake!
[06:20] <Out_Cold> test another file or the same file on another machine
[06:20] <keepsake> Dishtroyer: No problem =) I'm not even really sure what I did =P
[06:21] <poyntz> Out_Cold: i'll give it a crack
[06:21] <Out_Cold> keepsake, we rock like that lol
[06:21] <Out_Cold> how we roll
[06:21] <keepsake> Out_Cold: It's how Linux rolls, in general, haha
[06:21] <Out_Cold> yea... uphill in big turds
[06:22] <bullgard> Out_Cold: I have checked the systray icon looking as a speaker. Its setting is normal: It indicates: "Output 53%" which is normal.
[06:25] <Out_Cold> bullgard, not too sure man... and you said what was muted?
[06:26] <Out_Cold> i thought you said the tray icon was muted.. but what exactly is?
[06:28] <poyntz> Out_Cold: nah no luck
[06:28] <poyntz> Out_Cold: with any of them
[06:29] <GSF1200S> im looking to get a new video card. ATI has the best cards, but hows the driver support now? I know it used to suck..
[06:30] <poyntz> Out_Cold: tried on a mac
[06:30] <Tanthrix> GSF1200S: Nvidia rules all in linux. Much better driver, and incredible video acceleration.
[06:31] <Out_Cold> well that just tells me that my usefulness has expired for the day :(
[06:32] <GSF1200S> Tanthrix: Yeah, thats why I have a 9800GTX right now :) On the windows side, ATI seems to be the best. Oh well, **** them
[06:32] <meganerd> Tanthrix: sorry, nVidia is now the worst under Linux
[06:32] <GSF1200S> actually, I have 2 9800's, but I use seperate x screens, so I dont get sli benefit..
[06:32] <blakkheim> don't buy from ati - enemy of your freedom
[06:33] <meganerd> at least the ati driver is open
[06:33] <meganerd> that is more than nVidia can say
[06:33] <GSF1200S> meganard: how is nvidia the worst?
[06:33] <GSF1200S> I dont think I agree, at least from the droves of opposing advice
[06:34] <RocketLauncher> I can't play DVDs. I got ubuntu-restricted-extras, I also have libdvdcss2...... i also did: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh
[06:34] <RocketLauncher> Still cant play DVDs
[06:34] <meganerd> I have been suffering under all of them for 10 years, the new ATI devices are covered by the radeonhd driver
[06:34] <Out_Cold> nvidia has better options for linux where as ati doesn't... you can work on nvidia if you know how... can't say that for ati
[06:34] <meganerd> new ati has worked well for me
[06:35] <meganerd> personally I hate them both, but at least with their recent chips, they hired someone to write properly open drivers
[06:35] <andrew_46> Can somebody dcc a small text file so I can test my irssi setup?
[06:36] <RocketLauncher> andrew_46, alright
[06:36] <andrew_46> RocketLauncher: Thanks... whenever you are ready
[06:36] <RocketLauncher> andrew_46, i guess it's not working because i dont see anything on my side
[06:36] <RocketLauncher> DVD's playing, goodbye
[06:36] <xxploit> any1 familar with packing for ppa's? im having a rejecting problem caused by the section im using in the control file. Ive tried using network and networking but both sections cause a rejection
[06:37] <Out_Cold> i think that nvidia has better GPU processing for things like CUDa
[06:37] <Out_Cold> *A
[06:37] <Hilikus> how can i share a directory using samba through ssh??
[06:37] <andrew_46> Hmmm..... I was not clear as usual, can somebody send me a file by dcc?
[06:37] <meganerd> why bother with samba if you are using ssh?
[06:38] <Hilikus> meganerd: how else can i see files as a windows drive??
[06:38] <GSF1200S> Anyone know where I can add module names that I want to load at boot? I have to modprobe coretemp after every boot
[06:38] <meganerd> winscp
[06:38] <Out_Cold> andrew_46, i sent one
[06:38] <GSF1200S> on arch, id just add it it to rc.conf
[06:38] <Hilikus> meganerd: isn't that for copy on;y?
[06:38] <meganerd> you could also use webdav + netdrive
[06:38] <Hilikus> i need something that will look like a network drive in windows
[06:39] <andrew_46> Out_Cold: oic
[06:39] <meganerd> well, windows only supports smb or cifs for that out of the box
[06:39] <Hilikus> ok, thats why i bother with smb+ssh
[06:39] <meganerd> you can use netdrive to add webdav and ftp support, but really, assigning a drive letter is asking for trouble
[06:40] <Hilikus> meganerd: why?
[06:40] <Out_Cold> andrew_46, can you accept it?
[06:40] <meganerd> windows does not support ssh out of the box, so you are going to have to add someting either way
[06:40] <meganerd> why bother with ssh?
[06:40] <meganerd> I am guessing that there is some sort of remote access?
[06:40] <Hilikus> yes
[06:40] <Miracle> just use putty on win
[06:40] <andrew_46> Out_Cold: No, looks like my setup is still borken
[06:41] <Out_Cold> andrew_46, i've never sent a dcc on xchat so not sure if it's my end maybe
[06:41] <Hilikus> Miracle: how can i map a drive to a folder through putty and have the traffic be encrypted?
[06:41] <meganerd> for me personally I just ssh (sshfs under linux, winscp under that other OS)
[06:41] <meganerd> for my clients a VPN is usally how I solve that issue
[06:41] <Out_Cold> Hilikus, sounds like you want vpn but don't ask for my help
[06:42] <andrew_46> Out_Cold: No I have had trouble with irssi and dcc, but success with x-chat, so the problem is at my end
[06:42] <meganerd> OpenVPN has a GUI for windows that mere mortals can use
[06:42] <Hilikus> this is for backup restore, they need to be able to see whats in the backup and just drag-drop from it
[06:42] <Hilikus> so it needs to be integrated to windows
[06:42] <Out_Cold> meganerd, having a good vpn is a bit difficult imo
[06:42] <Hilikus> no shells or anything
[06:42] <geofft> anyone done a netboot install recently?
[06:42] <meganerd> what version of windows?
[06:42] <Hilikus> xp
[06:43] <meganerd> cygwin will get you the tools to do backup, but you may wish to rethink the drag and drop part
[06:43] <Hilikus> i already have all the backup set up
[06:43] <Hilikus> its the restore i am designing now
[06:43] <meganerd> and the backup is offsite?
[06:44] <Miracle> hilikus - i don't know but on linux you can tunnel with vlc and putty for remote access I'm not sure if you can mount a dir over a connection like that
[06:44] <Hilikus> yes, its all over the internet, thats why i need ssh
[06:44] <meganerd> your easiest solution would be share the backups woth apache (you would ssl and webdav modules), and then install netdrive on the windows computer
[06:45] <Hilikus> meganerd: isnt webdav for writing? the backups are read-only
[06:45] <Hilikus> i'm gonna look into netdrive. never heard of it
[06:45] <pvandewyngaerde> hi, i have a problem that my keyboard randomly switches to qwerty, how can i troubleshoot this ?
[06:46] <meganerd> actually yes, webdav s writing, so you would not need that part
[06:46] <Out_Cold> speaking of which... can anyone tell me what's wrong with my iptables for nfs?? http://pastebin.com/m43759551
