[14:57] <mehedi> i can not run Evolution mail. it does not work
[14:57] <catdog> ActionParsnip: i re-installed
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> catdog: are you running 64bit uuntu?
[14:57] <cutout> sipior:thx
[14:57] <catdog> ActionParsnip: i dont know
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> catdog: what is the output of: uname -a
[14:58] <mehedi> i can not run Evolution mail. it does not work.how i can run it?
[14:58] <sh33p> mehedi: You cannot run as in you can't open it?
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> mehedi: run it from a terminal, yuo will get intelligent output
[14:58] <catdog> ActionParsnip: Linux VOX 2.6.28-15-generic #49-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 18 18:40:08 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> catdog: ok you are using32bit Ubuntu
[14:59] <Curly_Q> Cutout check this out:   http://wareseeker.com/free-chm-to-html-ubuntu/
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> catdog: i686 = 32bit
[14:59] <mehedi> how i can command?
[14:59] <IdleOne> mehedi: in terminal type evolution
[14:59] <ActionParsnip> mehedi: in a terminal  type    evolution   and press enter
[15:00] <catdog> ActionParsnip: so how do i solve this no youtube sound thing
[15:00] <Curly_Q> Cutout check this:    http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-convert-chm-files-to-html-or-pdf-files.html
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> catdog: i suggest you run: dpkg -l | grep flash   and remove the flash packages you see like flashplugin-nonfree flashplugin-installer etc
[15:00] <ActionParsnip> catdog: then restart  firefox and go to http://www.rathergood.com/blode2
[15:00] <sipior> Curly_Q: unfortunately, i think cutout has left already
[15:00] <Curly_Q> Oh.
[15:00] <Curly_Q> OK.
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> catdog: you will then be offered flash, install the adobe one, job done
[15:01] <sipior> Curly_Q: sounded like he needed to make chm files, not just extract and convert them.
[15:01] <llutz> Curly_Q: further he wanted to create chm, not convert existing chm into something
[15:01] <Curly_Q> CHM files is a monumental task doing it by hand.
[15:02] <mehedi> In Evolution all my sent mails are stored in outbox and can not receive any mail........what can ido?
[15:02] <Curly_Q> Basically it falls under the heading of: "Help Authoring."

[15:03] <Sidewinder1> Hi BF
[15:03] <siddharth1>  I will have to learn C and C++ language in the uni , I think they will most probably teach us to write programs on a Windows system . So , If I write C /C++ in a GNU system ,will the source be compatible with Windows ?? , Thanks for your help
[15:03] <kwtm> Hello.  Does k/Ubuntu have software that can fill in PDF forms (not just view)?
[15:03] <bizarrefish> i'm trying to make a simple addition to the filesystem.squashfs image, but am unable to mount it
[15:03] <jgoo> http://adventuresinswitching.blogspot.com/2008/05/setup-multiple-ip-addresses-on-ubuntu.html << this looks like the proper way to do it (I've seen other runtime setups) QUESTION: Why isn't gateway defined? I need to define it for each alias?
[15:03] <bizarrefish> dmesg gives: SQUASHFS error: Major/Minor mismatch, older Squashfs 3.1 filesystems are unsupported
[15:03] <mickster04> mehedi, i dont use it but you may want to check proxy settings
[15:03] <jgoo> WHy isn't gateway defined here: do I need to add it more than once? >> http://adventuresinswitching.blogspot.com/2008/05/setup-multiple-ip-addresses-on-ubuntu.html
[15:04] <Michalxo> kwtm, pdfedit? dunno If I understand the question
[15:04] <Michalxo> kwtm, aha, understand it now.. No idea at all.. sorry
[15:05] <kwtm> Michalxo: Will look at PDF edit.  My understanding is that PDF viewers like KPDF and Evince only read PDF but can't change info in forms.  Will try pdfeidt
[15:05] <Michalxo> kwtm, you can still use gimp to edit it.. somehow :)
[15:06] <kwtm> Michalxo: Hmm, looked at it.  Looks like it's for creating PDF's, not for filling in PDF forms.  Okay, will look elsewhere.  Thanks anyway.
[15:06] <tvw> short question: why does firefox-3.5 reinstall firefox 3.0?
[15:06] <catdog> ActionParsnip: now it's using swfdec insted of flash
[15:07] <Paavi2_0> kwtm: you can always use the non-free adobe acrobat reader
[15:07] <catdog> ActionParsnip: and not offering me flash
[15:08] <catdog> ActionParsnip: now it's using swfdec insted of flash
[15:08] <catdog> ActionParsnip: and not offering me flash
[15:08] <sipior> kwtm: have a look at pdftk, it may do what you want
[15:08] <mickster04> catfog u need to uninstall that from synaptic
[15:08] <kwtm> sipior: Will look at pdftk.  Thx for the suggestion.

[15:10] <fogedi> Hi. Before i start i'd like to note that i'm not a linux/unix veteran but anyways. I'm having a problem that i can't resolve by googling my way around. I have ATI Radeon 4870, i just upgraded to the latest version of Kubuntu, when i try to boot the graphics become similar to when the graphics card is fried and i get stuck.
[15:10] <Gustavo> anyone that has a good experience with qmail can help? - i know its not the qmail channel.
[15:10] <Nimo> any one use evolution??????????
[15:10] <kwtm> Paavi2_0, sipior: yes, it does look like it does that, from the web site.  Am trying to see if it is user-friendly enough for my wife to use for banking forms.

[15:10] <kwtm> Paavi2_0, sipior: Looks like it's command-line, which is not good news.  I'd have to write a wrapper script, but I have no time --have to get to work.
[15:10] <mickster04> remoteCTRL1, applications>internet>shiretoko
[15:10] <AnxiousNut> anyone knows a good svn gui?
[15:11] <Trijntje> Nimo: ofcourse people use evolution, what is your problem?
[15:11] <fogedi> when installing i decided to keep some config files, i have tried to remove xorg-driver it doesn't find the package and i i've also tried to temporarily initialize the open source drivers so basically i'm stuck, now i would like to ask if someone has an idea how to fix this or if i can reinstall the package from scratch in console
[15:11] <abhilashm86> why is error while login into mysql abhilash@abhilash:~$ mysql -u abhilash

[15:12] <loonie> Hi !
[15:12] <mickster04> remoteCTRL1, it does a fair bit of updating dont worry
[15:13] <Nimo> Ya.think here is my problem. how can i do my proxy seeting?
[15:13] <rsv> it does, when i do mount i see /dev/sdb1 on /media/FreeAgent Drive type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
[15:13] <mickster04> !fr | loonie if that helps
[15:13] <remoteCTRL1> mickster04: not really update functionality said no updates for adblock plus, torbutton and ubuntu ff mods
[15:13] <rsv> but when i go inside /media/FreeAgent Driver all i get is the directories are not visible properly
[15:13] <loonie> I know but I can speak english no pb
[15:13] <mickster04> remoteCTRL1, i think u can get compatible ones from the addons site

[15:15] <mickster04> rsv, ok
[15:15] <kwtm> Paavi2_0: Acroread package not found under adept.  Probably direct download from Adobe, not from Ubuntu, correct?  Am checking out their web site --I have the download link but want more info.
[15:15] <rsv> mickster: what should i do ?
[15:15] <rsv> should i install some software

[15:27] <kwtm> Paavi2_0: holy cow, 4 minutes to install Acroread.  I could upgrade to Jaunty in that time!  Either, Adobe's servers are overloaded, or it's a HUGE file.
[15:27] <djanatyn> :D I figured out what my problem was!
[15:28] <mickster04> catdog, open volume controls
[15:28] <Paavi2_0> kwtm: it's huge and the server is giving very limited bandwidth
[15:28] <Trijntje> !ask|catdog
[15:28] <tvw> I really do not know, whether I should love or hate ubuntu - there seems nothing in between.
[15:28] <catdog> mickster04: right
[15:28] <djanatyn> I installed xubuntu on my external hard drive, and it was booting faster than it took to mount it. When it went to check for GRUB, it wasn't there yet. I fixed it by slowing down my computer's boot process.
[15:29] <mickster04> catdog, then check everything, so it shoiws all
[15:29] <Letterbomb05> Is there anyway I can alter the transparency of my upper and lower taskbars?
[15:29] <Paavi2_0> kwtm: have to go now. i hope i was some sort of help. bye!
[15:29] <catdog> mickster04: yep
[15:29] <kwtm> Paavi2_0: lots of help.  Thx!
[15:29] <mickster04> now go to switches
[15:29] <Slart> I just got a message box saying something about a "partial upgrade"...  I just figured upgrades are good and let it do its thing.. now I'm kind of wondering.. what is a partial upgrade?
[15:29] <catdog> mickster04: right
[15:30] <__theIdiotBox> tvw, then you should love ubuntu...
[15:30] <mickster04> catdog, do u have a dropdown for input source
[15:30] <catdog> mickster04: no
[15:30] <mickster04> catdog, sorry try the next one, o-tions
[15:30] <mickster04> options*
[15:30] <catdog> mickster04: right
[15:30] <Letterbomb05> Can anyone please tell me if I can change the transparency of my taskbars/
[15:30] <mickster04> Letterbomb05, yes
[15:31] <catdog> mickster04: options
[15:31] <Letterbomb05> mickster04, how?
[15:31] <tvw> __theIdiotBox: I am trying very hard since days ;-)
[15:31] <mickster04> catdog, yeah then see if u have the input dropdown
[15:31] <catdog> mickster04: i do
[15:31] <mickster04> Letterbomb05, right click on an empty space on the bar>preferences
[15:31] <cached> is there a good reason ubuntu doesn't abandon evolution in favor of thunderbird?
[15:31] <mickster04> catdog, maybe change it to front mic
[15:31] <__theIdiotBox> tvw, trying what? be more specific
[15:31] <tvw> cached: no.
[15:31] <mickster04> catdog, then go back to playback and check no mics are muted
[15:32] <catdog> mickster04: jack green or jack red
[15:32] <mickster04> catdog, i think its red?
[15:32] <catdog> mickster04: jack green or jack pink
[15:32] <catdog> mickster04: pink is set to input
[15:32] <mickster04> catdog, and make sure nothing is muted
[15:32] <DJNomad> can anyone help me install listen music player from a tar.gz

[15:33] <delicowa> extract the archive anywhere
[15:33] <catdog> mickster04: nothing is muted
[15:33] <alberti> hey guys how can i log out root fom ssh please?
[15:33] <delicowa> then teleport into it from a command line then await further intructions
[15:33] <DJNomad> I can open it just have done the make install wrong or something
[15:34] <suman> after upgrading to 8.10 fro 8.04, i cant connect to yahoo with kopete,
[15:34] <mickster04> catdog, well try various combinations of what option u use and where the mic is plugged in
[15:34] <suman> anyone has a solution to this?
[15:34] <alberti> I would like to log out the root from pc
[15:34] <Letterbomb05> mickster04, is there anyway I can alter the transparency while keeping the bar in with my current theme?
[15:34] <srv> i am unable to hear sound in ubuntu - it works in windows but not in ubuntu - how do i debug
[15:34] <grawity> alberti: 1) you mean "login as root"?
[15:34] <delicowa> then paste the error here and ltes see
[15:34] <tvw> __theIdiotBox: OK, using Ubuntu, setting up the network is very nice, and I really love it. But installing software (why so many package managers) and those non-standard-packages drive me totally nuts.
[15:34] <grawity> alberti: 2) login as a normal user, use "sudo -i"
[15:34] <catdog> mickster04: try agan and then it says aodeo capture settions invalid
[15:34] <mickster04> Letterbomb05, the transparency is itst own slider? i dont undertand
[15:34] <arand> alberti: "exit" "logout" ?
[15:35] <alberti> i shall try one minute plz
[15:35] <Letterbomb05> mickster04, I have the option to use a solid colour or use the system theme. I can also only change the settings for the middle section of the bar and not the sections with controls.
[15:35] <mickster04> Letterbomb05, oh then thats all u can do im afraid
[15:35] <Trijntje> suman: you could try asking in #kubuntu
[15:35] <Avantasia> zdravim
[15:36] <__theIdiotBox> tvw, then i guess you dont know the philosophy of ubuntu....once you learn that u'll start loving it...
[15:36] <mickster04> catdog, wel try different settings, alternatively check the program has rthe right device listed
[15:36] <Avantasia> pokeca naka holka?
[15:37] <srv> i am not hearing sound in ubuntu - it works in windows
[15:37] <mickster04> !en| Avantasia,
[15:37] <srv> please help me
[15:37] <catdog> mickster04: i got the right settins but it i cant play back what i've recorded
[15:37] <srv> i use ubuntu 8.0.4
[15:37] <fogedi> Hi (again) i was updating kubuntu. i have ATI Radeon 4870 512MB i didn't update the driver before updating the kernel. i'm basically stuck in the recovery mode as the screen is so horribly garbled like the graphics card is fried. the old kernel also doesn't work
[15:37] <tvw> __theIdiotBox: It seems as if it it a quite difficult philosophy.
[15:37] <mickster04> catdog, that is something different :/ there might be lots of things to do that. again check the program settings
[15:37] <fogedi> i want to know if i can revert to some sort of default setting or revert to the non proprietary graphics somehow from the console
[15:38] <thiebaude> tvw, nothing difficult about it
[15:38] <suman> Trijntje: i did.... but #kubuntu seems dead as of now
[15:38] <__theIdiotBox> tvw, no i dont agree on that....but i guess we're going off-topic...
[15:38] <Ubunto9o> hi anyone who is adept in using netcat here?
[15:38] <grawity> Ubunto9o: *raises hand*

[15:39] <tvw> thiebaude: Oh, what about apt-get install firefox-3.5 leads to klick onto the Shiretoku-icon instead, as I would expect, the firefox icon.

[15:41] <srv> Sir, how do i debug sound issues in ubuntu?
[15:41] <srv> i dont hear anything
[15:41] <greatfeet> greetings all, i need help adding a user to disk. according to one piece of advice i should do this: sudo adduser <username> disk   (i can't seem to get it working though)
[15:41] <Ubunto9o> =( uninterested netcat adept
[15:42] <Sidewinder1> !sound
[15:42] <thiebaude> srv, is sound muted?
[15:42] <xjkx> [off] i accidentaly formated a FAT32 partition, can i restore it ? you know, windows has those "undelete" kind of sofware, i was hoping for something like that, but for linux
[15:42] <tvw> thiebaude: or what about crippling the ruby package-manager gem?
[15:42] <srv> theiebaude: no its not
[15:42] <Trijntje> greatfeet: you can also use the graphical interface, would you prefer that?
[15:43] <bernardlychan> ikonia: did u recieve message?
[15:43] <wzssyqa> realplayer have sound ,but totem not
[15:43] <bernardlychan> i tried ur trick... but everytime i plug in my monitor it just freezes
[15:43] <tvw> That's what I found out so far, and I did not install more than about 5 packages yet.
[15:43] <srv> thiebaude: whats the next test
[15:43] <thiebaude> tvw, what was your question, i came in here late?
[15:43] <thiebaude> srv, test?
[15:43] <srv> my question is i am unable to hear anything on ubuntu (sound)
[15:44] <srv> yeah how do i debug it?
[15:44] <Sidewinder1> srv I guess you've already gone to System--->Preferrences--->Sound and tried all of the various settings there?
[15:44] <mickster04> bernardlychan, did u reboot?
[15:44] <tvw> thiebaude: Oh, I responded to your "tvw, nothing difficult about it"
[15:44] <bernardlychan> yea
[15:44] <thiebaude> !offtopic | tvw
[15:45] <Linaxys> hey, my server becomes very slow in ssh... I think it's due to a lag or someone annoying me, how can I resolve this please ? I have no DL/bittorrent opened yet...
[15:45] <credobyte> does anybody know what "Auth" means in Firestarter events ?
[15:45] <Ubunto9o> hi anyone else who is adept in using netcat here?
[15:45] <srv> Yes but nothing works
[15:45] <Jonii3> how do I mount a shared folder with ubuntu as guest and windows as host? I know it's not the write channel, but could someone try to help me anyways?
[15:45] <greatfeet> Trijntje: hmmm maybe, but i'm trying to do this http://paste.ubuntu.com/263834/ to set up my firewire, soundcard, et cetera. i got it from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=561160
[15:45] <grawity> Ubunto9o: What is your problem?
[15:46] <grawity> Jonii3: 1) "mount.cifs", 2) it's "right", not "write"
[15:46] <Sidewinder1> trv This'll sound crazy but I solved my sound problem by plugging inti a different port on the rear of my sound card. Your milage may vary.
[15:46] <greatfeet> Trijntje: d'you think i can do that with a gui?
[15:47] <Trijntje> greatfeet: i'm sorry, i thought you were trying to add a new user.. my bad
[15:47] <bernardlychan> ty anyway mickster04 and ikonia
[15:47] <Jonii3> grawity, sorry, i'm tired
[15:47] <mickster04> bernardlychan, u didnt fix it then:(
[15:47] <greatfeet> Trijntje: no probs
[15:47] <Sidewinder1> I know, my typing stinks  :-(
[15:47] <Ubunto9o> grawity, just want to experiment nc with an winXP computer who is online now (if you have, let me know if you can share ip and port)
[15:48] <bernardlychan> ill just have to live without my monitor... hopefully it doesnt start freezing even wehn indont use it
[15:48] <cc4> trash is emty but the free disk space indicates its not. what's wrong?
[15:48] <cc4> empty
[15:48] <Besogon> I had made xfce4-panel --help and it got me this "--display=       using display X" What does it mean? What is X display exactly?
[15:48] <cc4> on main partition
[15:48] <cc4> not media hds
[15:48] <Jonii3> bash: mount.cifs: command not found and it tells me how to install it. do I install it?
[15:48] <cc4> and no .trash folder
[15:48] <cc4> to delete whats inside
[15:48] <Sidewinder1> cc4 I believe that there are several "trashes" home, root, etc.
[15:49] <cc4> Sidewinder1: what can I do?
[15:49] <sipior> cc4: have a look in .local/share/Trash
[15:49] <sipior> cc4: (in your home directory)
[15:49] <Jonii3> grawity: bash: mount.cifs: command not found and it tells me how to install it. do I install it?
[15:49] <cc4> sipior: I have no .local folder
[15:49] <grawity> Jonii3: Yes, install it.
[15:49] <grawity> Jonii3: Or, wait. Do you use GNOME?
[15:49] <sipior> cc4: and you're running gnome?
[15:49] <Jonii3> grawity yes
[15:50] <cc4> sipior: yes. and show all folders is on
[15:50] <grawity> Jonii3: Then it would probably be better to use GNOME's SMB support... go to Places -> Network
[15:50] <sipior> cc4: can you try from the command line? "ls -al ~/.local"
[15:50] <ksool> Does GDM under intrepid support BackgroundProgram? It's not in gdmsetup and adding it manually in gdm.conf doesn't seem to work.
[15:50] <Jonii3> it shows windows network, but it can't see anything else, even if I double click it
[15:50] <cc4> sipior: yes ., sec
[15:51] <Sidewinder1> Strange, I have a .local in my home dir (8.04)
[15:51] <matt132> I'm looking for a debian release close as close to 1999 as possible? Anyone know where I can find one, and what it's called.
[15:51] <Jonii3> grawity it shows windows network, but it can't see anything else, even if I double click it
[15:51] <xjkx>  i aciddentaly formated a fat32 partition, can i recover it ?
[15:51] <mickster04> cc4, try ctrl + h  ?
[15:51] <sipior> xjkx: not really, no.
[15:51] <grawity> Jonii3: Hmm
[15:52] <grawity> Jonii3: What is the hostname of the Windows box?
[15:52] <cc4> mickster04, I havw already done it.
[15:52] <mickster04> cc4, just ceheckoin:/
[15:52] <Jonii3> I don't know, let me check
[15:52] <mickster04> cc4, just checkin:/
[15:52] <grawity> Jonii3: You might try entering smb://thathost/ to the file explorer's address bar.
[15:52] <ksool> matt132, hamm and slink came out in 98 and 99, respectively.
[15:52] <xjkx> sipior: what if i install windows there and get one of those undelete files thing
[15:53] <cc4> sipior: no such folder reply
[15:53] <Jonii3> Error: Failed to retrieve share list from server
[15:53] <Jonii3> Please select another viewer and try again
[15:53] <sipior> xjkx: but you didn't delete files, you overwrote the filesystem. you might get lucky with a data recovery service.
[15:53] <grawity> Jonii3: Now that's a little unusual. Try connecting with 'smbclient' or 'mount.cifs' then.
[15:54] <matt132> ksool, are they still available for download (to make a bootable cd etc.)
[15:54] <Jonii3> grawity, we tried mount.cifs already,  I just type in smbclient in the console?
[15:54] <ksool> matt132, http://www.debian.org/distrib/archive
[15:55] <mbeierl> speaking of cifs.... does Ubuntu support showing the real owner and group of files over cifs?  or can it only show (root,root) or the uid/gid specified in the mount option?
[15:55] <grawity> Jonii3: First, smbclient -L thathostname
[15:55] <blade> Good Afternoon every one
[15:55] <grawity> mbeierl: I think that would need to be supported by both sides.
[15:55] <xjkx> sipior: is it expensive, and where do i usually find services like that ?
[15:56] <grawity> mbeierl: See, CIFS was orignally SMB, the Windows file sharing protocol, so it supports only Windows NT ACLs. (Samba does attempt to map those to POSIX ACLs)
[15:56] <sipior> xjkx: fairly expensive, yes. you'll want to google for a data recovery service for rates, &cet.
[15:56] <mbeierl> grawity: that's what I thought, but I cannot get it to show anything but owner,owner
[15:56] <xjkx> ok thanks
[15:56] <Jonii3> Connection to *hostname* failed (Error NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME)
[15:57] <sipior> xjkx: but i suspect most of your data is gone, so consider carefully whether the expense is worth it.
[15:57] <grawity> Jonii3: Hmm. How about using the IP address instead?
[15:57] <Jonii3> ok, just the internal network ip that I have?
[15:58] <matt132> ksool thanks
[15:58] <grawity> Jonii3: Yes
[15:58] <Sidewinder1> xjkx Do a search on ubuntuforums.org for data recovery; I saw a thread about someone who formated his ntfs/fat32 and lost all the family pics. The posters then walked him through a recovery
[15:58] <mbeierl> grawity: when I mount a windows share, I cannot get it to show the NT owners.  If I show you the mount options I'm using and then the output, do you think you might be able to help?
[15:58] <sipior> Sidewinder1: i'm curious myself :-)
[15:59] <grawity> mbeierl: Probably not :\ Samba _client_ cannot yet do that, I think. (not an expert)
[15:59] <Sidewinder1> He got all of his pics restored! Not sure how it would work with programs.
[15:59] <srv> how can i increase the volume on ubuntu
[15:59] <Jonii3> session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
[15:59] <srv> i mean system wide volume
[15:59] <xover> !networks
[15:59] <grawity> Jonii3: You know, I just remembered
[15:59] <Sidewinder1> Stabd by...
[15:59] <mbeierl> grawity: that appears to be the conclusion that I am coming to :(  (you are coming to a sad realization: allow or deny?)
[15:59] <grawity> Jonii3: The 'samba' package - the File Sharing server - includes support for Windows hostnames
[16:00] <Jonii3> ok,  so now what
[16:00] <grawity> Jonii3: So try installing that, then going through Nautilus
[16:00] <marcos6> Enter text here...OLA
[16:00] <Jonii3> I've never heard of nautilus
[16:00] <xjkx> Sidewinder1: will do the search thanks
[16:00] <grawity> Jonii3: Nautilus is what's the GNOME's file manager called.
[16:00] <grawity> mbeierl: If it's a Windows box, the Services for Unix package (from Microsoft) might be useful.
[16:00] <Jonii3> oh, ok
[16:01] <quentusrex> Is there any way to find out of a ubuntu install is the JeOS install?
[16:01] <xjkx> i also found this http://www.partition-recovery.com/ sipior Sidewinder1 :P
[16:01] <ganymede> does anyone know a program that will let me do perl style substitution (e.g. s///g) on every file in a directory recursively but prompt me to OK each substitution before it is made?
[16:01] <Padhu> xjkx: test disk is better tool
[16:02] <xjkx> Padhu: thanks
[16:02] <Jonii3> ok, samba is on here
[16:02] <sipior> xjkx: yes, testdisk is nice. give it a try, cross your fingers and keep backups next time.
[16:02] <mbeierl> grawity: unfortunately it's a corporate server and I can't add things to it :(
[16:03] <Jonii3> grawity, now what?
[16:03] <Michalxo> ganymede, sed?
[16:03] <grawity> Jonii3: Installed 'samba'? Try going to Places -> Network
[16:03] <Jonii3> yes, I just installed 'samba' through synaptic
[16:04] <Jonii3> Failed to retrieve share list from server
[16:04] <Padhu> jonii3: are you checked about work group name?
[16:04] <Jonii3> how do i do that?
[16:04] <Jonii3> I can't get past double clicking on windows network
[16:04] <mbeierl> Jonii3: check for smbfs package
[16:04] <Jonii3> how?
[16:05] <i00nsu> hello guys, i need help in some strange thing: I have no CD or DVD in my DVD drive, and Ubuntu detects one named Bluebirds... do you know whats going wrong?
[16:05] <grawity> mbeierl: mount.cifs is a little newer, I think.
[16:05] <Padhu> jonii3: what is the version?
[16:05] <grawity> mbeierl: Anyway, making it work through Nautilus would be good too.
[16:05] <alberti> hello I was trying to log out root from the pc, i did sudo -i and i am in /root folder , how can i log out now please
[16:05] <Jonii3> i'm using ubuntu 9.04, windows vista as host, and virtual box 3.0.4
[16:05] <ganymede> Michalxo: sed doesn't support prompt-before-replace so i'd have to wrap it in a script that fires sed (which isn't hard) but i'd feel safer if i used an already tested solution
[16:05] <genii> alberti: "exit"
[16:05] <alberti> i would like to log root out
[16:05] <mbeierl> grawity: that's what I'm using and the docs all indicate that it should work, but it does not
[16:06] <Sidewinder1> xjkx This isn't the exact one to which I was referring but it might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=919685&highlight=lost+family+pictures
[16:06] <genii> alberti: "exit"
[16:06] <mbeierl> grawity: mount.ccifs that is
[16:06] <alberti> genii: when i do exit it exits me i am connected via ssh
[16:06] <genii> alberti: If you are ssh in and then sudo -i the FIRST exit leaves the sudo shell
[16:07] <genii> alberti: The SECOND exit leaves the ssh
[16:07] <alberti> but the pc is still running as root
[16:07] <Padhu> vertual box having problem in sharing NIC between linux. check it up by google it.
[16:07] <i00nsu> ok, was sr0... don't know exacly what it is, but ok .. i umounted
[16:07] <i00nsu> thz
[16:08] <alberti> because i have vnc on it, and vnc is still runing as normal
[16:08] <Jonii3> I gotta go now guys, i'll be back probably 11:30 or so central time. thanks for your help, i'll get it figured out somehow
[16:08] <g[r]eek> Hi guys flash swf animations are not working in my Firefox. I just get a white space where the flash animation is meant to be. If I right-click on it it picks up that it's a flash animation and "Playing" is checked but I just see blank white. I
[16:09]  * alberti bbl boss i shere
[16:09] <g[r]eek> When I right-click Help->About I get the Swfdec 0.8.2 info
[16:09] <mickster04> g[r]eek, remove the swfdec with synaptics
[16:09]  * Jonii3 hits the X button on the window
[16:09] <Jonii3> bye
[16:10] <mickster04> g[r]eek, if u go to systemdetails.com it tells u what flash player you are using
[16:10] <g[r]eek> mickster04: thanks that solved it it now works.
[16:10] <ardor> in /etc/init.d I have a file named asterisk, but yet asterisk is not starting on reboot, I checked the daemon log and I dont even see it trying to start asterisk. This is a clean install.
[16:10] <mickster04> g[r]eek, cool
[16:11] <g[r]eek> mickster04: yeah I had shockwave installed as well but it always defaulted to swf regardless
[16:11] <mickster04> g[r]eek, yeah it did that for me
[16:11] <g[r]eek> mickster04: thanks again. Cheers mate
[16:11] <ardor> my thinking is that just becuase I have a file in /etc/init.d/ does mean it gets executed on reboot, where is the file that holds what gets executed in /etc/init.d/ at start up
[16:12] <genii> ardor: I'd suggest to read up on update-rc.d
[16:12] <bastidraZor> !boot | ardor
[16:13] <tvw> what should I install: "flashplugin-installer" or "flashplugin-nonfree", and what are transitional packages for?
[16:13] <ardor> Thanks, bastidraZor
[16:14] <kamagatos> TVW: there's no transitional-apackage but you hav a free solution for using flash
[16:14] <gicop> hey i have a question I'm running the Ubuntu live cd but I'm   trying to cp or mv a directory to my /mnt but I'm geting this error mv: cannot create directory `/mnt/Laptop': Input/output error
[16:14] <ardor> Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:  at /usr/lib/perl5/Gtk2.pm line 87.
[16:14] <ardor> I will have to do it the other way.
[16:14] <kamagatos> gicop: u did in root?
[16:15] <tvw> kamagatos: the description for "flashplugin-nonfree" says: "
[16:15] <tvw> This package is a transitional package that can safely be removed after you installed
[16:15] <tvw> flashplugin-installer.
[16:15] <genii> ardor: There is a fairly comprehensive explanation of update-rc.d here http://www.debuntu.org/how-to-manage-services-with-update-rc.d
[16:15] <gicop> kamagatos: yes
[16:16] <tvw> Do I need install it before installing "flashplugin-installer" or can I safely ignore it?
[16:17] <kamagatos> tvw: ahh ok!! just install flash-plugin-nonfree, u can remove the installer later necessary only for intallation
[16:17] <ardor> update-rc.d asterisk 3 start
[16:17] <ardor> its not looking good
[16:17] <Kheops> hi !
[16:17] <jrivera> good day!
[16:17] <llutz> ardor: "update-rc.d asterisk defaults"
[16:18] <genii> ardor: The default runlevel of debian and *buntu systems is 2 and not 3. Also 2,3,4 and 5 are identical
[16:18] <Kheops> I want to know how to auto load a ethx ?
[16:18] <gicop> any ideas?
[16:18] <paperclip> home server to LTS or not to LTS?
[16:18] <ardor>  System startup links for /etc/init.d/asterisk already exist.
[16:18] <jrivera> how can i clone an existing ubuntu server hard drive to be used on a different system for testing
[16:18] <ardor> so I guess it is trying to load asterisk on reboot.
[16:18] <paperclip> jrivera: dd
[16:18] <Kheops> hmm hmmm When i reboot the ethx it's inactive
[16:19] <Kheops> I must up manualy
[16:19] <orudie> is there a way for me to somehow be connected to irc from screen , but use windows client like xchat to connect to my screen then irc?
[16:19] <Lint> are there PartitionMagic-like apps for Ubuntu?
[16:19] <ohir> jrivera: man dd
[16:19] <Kheops> how I wake up It auto ?
[16:19] <kamagatos> gicop: type sudo mkdir /mnt/test
[16:19] <matt132> I'm trying to help someone out until they can afford a new computer. would a 4.10 work on a computer with only 64 ram and a 10g hd (just need the basics, word processing/internet acces)
[16:19] <genii> Lint: "gparted"
[16:19] <Kheops> !help
[16:19] <paperclip> orudie: there are proxies for that..
[16:19] <gicop> mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/test': Input/output error
[16:19] <Kheops> hmm hmmm
[16:19] <Lint> genii: can it resize partitions safely?
[16:19] <ardor> llutz:: what is the correct log file to look at,
[16:19] <Kheops> somebody can help me ?
[16:20] <genii> Lint: So long as you have the drivers installed for whatever filesystem you are trying to resize, yes
[16:20] <ardor> oh it came up this time
[16:20] <Kheops> !help
[16:20] <llutz> ardor: try "sudo /etc/init.d/asterisk start" in terminal and look for errors
[16:21] <paperclip> so.. nobody has opinion on my home server.. LTS or Jaunty?
[16:21] <llutz> ardor: don't know where it logs, try daemon.log, messages, syslog if no asterisk.log exists
[16:21] <Sidewinder1> I prefer the LTS versions for stability reasons.
[16:21] <genii> Kheops: man interfaces        has some useful information on the syntax of the file /etc/network/interfaces  ... where you would set such things
[16:21] <jrivera> paperclip: does that copy the bootloader as well so that i can just connect the HDD on the other system
[16:21] <paperclip> jrivera: did you read 'man dd' ?
[16:22] <Kheops> genii : how do I set up to auto load ethx ?
[16:22] <Kheops> It's dosen't auto load.
[16:22] <crash1hd> Does anyone know is it faster to transfer large amounts of data via command line or GUI in Ubuntu?
[16:23] <Sidewinder1> Don't think it matters
[16:23] <paperclip> transfer?
[16:23] <paperclip> like typing.. OCR.. wha?!?
[16:23] <matt132> Does anyone think I could get 4.10 to run on an emachine circa 1999
[16:23] <navatwo> I cannot seem to open .rar files. Archive manager says that the file type is unsupported as well, unrar-free fails when trying to extract. Anyone have any ideas?
[16:24] <genii> Kheops: It depends on your setup. If standard type dhcp then usually stanzas in that file something like: auto eth0 then: iface eth0 inet dhcp
[16:24] <paperclip> matt132: why not try xubuntu 9.04 ?
[16:24] <Kheops> nop
[16:24] <Kheops> genii : It's a static one
[16:24] <kamagatos> crash1hd: GUI used command line in background
[16:24] <Kheops> and I configured in interfaces but no auto starting
[16:24] <genii> Kheops: Then read the manpage as I already have hinted towards :)
[16:24] <kamagatos> *use
[16:24] <Sidewinder1> navatwo go to Synaptic and look for rar and install it.
[16:24] <crash1hd> kamagatos, ahh ok thanks :)
[16:24] <navatwo> Sidewinder1: I have it
[16:24] <navatwo> still fails
[16:24] <Kheops> genii : I must make some script to put the rules at autorun ?
[16:25] <navatwo> on three different .rar files.
[16:25] <llutz> Kheops: read "man interfaces"
[16:25] <genii> Kheops: No
[16:25] <Kheops> ok
[16:25] <Padhu> crash1hd: CLI
[16:25] <Myrtti> DJAshnar: what are you up to?
[16:26] <Padhu> crash1hd: before transfer compress it
[16:26] <matt132> paperclip, would that work better than an old version of ubuntu...I'm think i have a maximum of 128mb of ram to work with, but it may even be along the lines of 64mb. It's an emachine running windows me
[16:26] <Padhu> crash1hd: better thing is FTP server and wget combination
[16:27] <paperclip> matt132: i've installed recent xubuntu on laptops with pII 266mhz and 96mb ram
[16:27] <Sidewinder1> Lunch,...Bye All...
[16:27] <kioska> antonius
[16:27] <paperclip> matt132: it's slow but works.. 4.10 is going to be slow by modern standards too
[16:27] <kioska> antonius
[16:28] <revygttam> Is there a way to list users accessing my server?  I currently have a user pushing files to my server via sftp, who does not show him, however top does, and he has processes under ps -U uname, is there a better command?
[16:28] <matt132> paperclip, that is encouraging thank you. the computer is not working properly (no doubt due to being a 10 year old comp running windows) and I'm looking to get it running until a new computer can be purchased
[16:29] <paperclip> matt132: if it will boot from usb.. try using the usb startup disk creator to put xubuntu on a thumb drive.. you'll get a pretty good idea if it will work or not..
[16:30] <llutz> matt132: it's no good idea to install history software today due to security issues. there are no fixes anymore
[16:30] <ChristianAdamski> Hi, I do have a strange problem: I own a Sony Vaio with Ubuntu 9.04 installed. When I shutdown the system, the last message is "system will be halted", but ONLY if the wlan is switched off manually with a switch in the front, the system will power off. If wlan is switched on while shutting down. The systems halts, but doesn't turn off power. Is this a known bug?
[16:31] <ChristianAdamski> I found some bugs using google concerning not powering off, but those are from 2007 and older
[16:31] <matt132> llutz, this is only a temporary fix...I just want to give her something to use that will work on an ancient setup
[16:32] <yaaar> howdy
[16:32] <paperclip> has xubuntu gotten that much fatter in that time?
[16:32] <b3rz3rk3r> matt132, you should have a look at vector linux 6 light, iv running it on old-ass PII + III
[16:33] <navatwo> I cannot seem to open .rar files. Archive manager "Extracts" it, but the directory is empty. unrar-free also fails when trying to extract. Anyone have any ideas?
[16:33] <yaaar> is this SEXYBloger bot hitting everyone as they come into the room?
[16:33] <b3rz3rk3r> matt132, chan is here: #vectorlinux
[16:33]  * grawity tests
[16:33] <grawity> yaaar: Confirmed
[16:33] <jrivera> how do i block all VPN ports passing through my firewall using iptables?
[16:33] <thowland> revygttam: look in /var/log/secure
[16:35] <matt132> b3rz3rk3r, thank you for your input, though I'd rather work with something with which I'm familiar, since it's not my computer being "fixed"
[16:36] <b3rz3rk3r> matt132, its based on Slackware, if you ahve any experience with that, you will feel right at home.
[16:36] <jgoo> matt132, Lubuntu?
[16:36] <vatts> way2go Pici^^
[16:37] <matt132> jgoo...not familiar with lubuntu...was taking a look at xubuntu though
[16:38] <roygbiv> on my 9.04 box i have made changed to /etc/sysctl.conf but they seem to be ignored. any suggestions for me here?
[16:38] <grawity> roygbiv: Did you reboot?
[16:38] <jgoo> matt132, go lubuntu, it is 300 something mb
[16:38] <roygbiv> grawity several times
[16:38]  * paperclip googles lubuntu
[16:39] <jgoo> if you all knew how to reddit, you'd have downloaded lubuntu by now!
[16:39] <matt132> jgoo...the computer I'm trying to fix is an ancient emachine...so probably working with 64mb....maaayyybeee 128
[16:39] <yaaar> hey guys, i'm having trouble installing 8.04 LTS on a Dell PowerEdge T105 (quad-core opteron). it boots the cd and asks me for language/keyboard, but then it says the installation cd couldn't be mounted. i've dropped to a shell and attempted to mount it manually but i get 'invalid argument'
[16:39] <Jimmey> !ubotu hi
[16:39] <deviant-route> hello all
[16:39] <jgoo> matt132, why trying to fix it? to get data?
[16:39] <paperclip> jgoo: is that icewm?
[16:39] <ChristianAdamski> may I point out my system-doesn't-power-off-with-wlan-on problem above again?
[16:39] <jgoo> paperclip, LXDE
[16:40] <yaaar> anybody know how i can work around that? i tried some of the kernel options mentioned in the help screen, but without effect. i'm not 100% that I was putting them in right
[16:40] <paperclip> jgoo: and what's it using for the wm?
[16:40] <jgoo> openbox
[16:40] <roygbiv> yaaar maybe a bad cd? burn a new one and see what happens
[16:40] <jgoo> paperclip, I think openbox flavor
[16:40] <paperclip> jgoo: ahh.. hmm
[16:41] <kioska> antonius daniel
[16:41] <paperclip> jgoo: that looks promising.. thanks for mentioning it :D
[16:41] <yaaar> roygbiv: i've tried it with two different discs burned from two different computers. also, when i was at the shell i put in a random data cd and it wouldn't mount that either
[16:41] <roygbiv> aah ok
[16:41] <matt132> jgoo...no, it's for a person in my church, trying to get it running for her daughter (homework basics: word processing, spreadsheets and maybe a little internet)
[16:41] <jgoo> paperclip, reddit.com
[16:41] <paperclip> matt132: that looks perfect for you..
[16:41] <paperclip> jgoo: yeah... looks like it just got released.
[16:41] <jgoo> matt132, if you spend 2 hours on it, you might as well go out and buy a $100 machine
[16:42] <paperclip> heh.. true
[16:42] <jgoo> not worth your time, considering the problems you'll have with it
[16:42] <paperclip> where do you get a $100 machine tho?
[16:42] <matt132> or 100$ for that matter
[16:42] <jgoo> Walmart sell $100 don't they? matt132 you don't have $100??!?!!?!!!!!!
[16:43] <paperclip> i've not seen a $100 machine.. but could be..
[16:43] <matt132> times are tough, so we make due...jgoo, this machine is not for me.
[16:44] <jgoo> matt132, but, if you spend 2 - 3 hours... you've lost that time
[16:44] <jgoo> so you might as well spend money, and spend 30 minutes buying a good one :-)
[16:44] <caonimagebi> hi problem with ubuntu 9.04 and ew-7318usg, ew-7318usg work like a charm with 8.10 but not with 9.04 ? any good tips ?
[16:44] <jgoo> matt132, but if it works, that is ok
[16:45] <paperclip> downloading lubuntu
[16:46] <jez> for some reason I can't get my SMB share to work on Ubuntu
[16:46] <jez> i have right-clicked my folder, and done 'sharing options', clicked to share the folder and given it a name
[16:47] <jez> from my windows box which is connected to the Ubuntu box though, i can't access the share, i just get no response
[16:47] <jez> any idea what could be wrong?
[16:47] <jez> i can ping the box
[16:47] <mweichert> anyone use mdadm?
[16:47] <lianimator> how can I find how which device is for which mounted external drive? for example, when I put in an usb drive, /media/DATA/ is the folder, but which /dev/sd? is it?
[16:47] <ikonia> mweichert: what's up ?
[16:47] <genii> jez: Have you specifically installed Samba? Default install does not include the samba server, only the client so your Ubuntu box can surf windows' shares out of the box
[16:48] <jez> i did samba
[16:48] <w2_> we
[16:48] <jez> although it's not on the graphical add/remove apps
[16:48] <unop> lianimator,   use the 'mount' command
[16:48] <paperclip> lianimator: mount
[16:48] <mweichert> ikonia, when creating an array, disks are referenced by partitions rather than the disks themselves in all examples I see. For example, a disk would be referenced using /dev/sdc1 rather than /dev/sdc. Why? Do I have to create some partition on the disks before I create the array?
[16:48] <jez> I ran sudo apt-get install samba
[16:48] <genii> jez: So the result of: apt-cache policy samba                 shows 100% it is installed?
[16:49] <padi999> Hey all
[16:49] <mickster04> hey
[16:49] <tuxologie> hi
[16:49] <ikonia> mweichert: it's better to use partitions, there is a long explination for it (which I can't remember without research) but creating a partition that spans the disk is the way to do it
[16:49] <jez> it comes up with some stuff, how do i know whether it's 100% installed? :-)
[16:49] <jrivera> mweichart: i think you have to create the partitions first
[16:49] <padi999> How can I use the VGA display port to display something that comes from ANOTHER graphics card to display at the screen of my laptop? Meaning: The laptop just acts as a simple screen
[16:49] <lianimator> paperclip: with what flags please?
[16:50] <mweichert> ikonia, ok thanks I cannot find any reference to that. is there a specific type of partition?
[16:50] <jez> samba: installed: 2:3.3.2-1ubuntu3.1
[16:50] <ikonia> padi999: you can't
[16:50] <unop> lianimator, no flags needed
[16:50] <paperclip> lianimator: you don't need no stinking flags
[16:50] <genii> jez: A line like: *** 2:3.4.0-3ubuntu1 0     with the asterisks means it is installed
[16:50] <ikonia> mweichert: no, just partition type "fd" linux auto raid
[16:50] <jez> yeah it seems to be
[16:50] <jez> 2:3.3.2-1
[16:50] <padi999> ikonia: damn, really? I always have to get a screen to debug my server *g
[16:50] <jrivera> sfdisk -d /dev/sda | /dev/sdc?
[16:51] <ikonia> mweichert: does that partition type make sense to you ?
[16:51] <mweichert> ikonia, yeap.
[16:51] <ikonia> mweichert: cool
[16:51] <lianimator> unop: paperclip: so I'll need to parse the output again? I do mount /media/DATA/ it saids /dev/sdb1 is already mounted.. mount failed
[16:51] <jpb0104> in apt - how do i list packages that need upgraded?
[16:51] <unop> padi999, you can use X forwarding over a network and use your laptop screen that way.
[16:51] <genii> jez: Is the server running? eg:  ps aux | grep smb        shows something
[16:52] <paperclip> lianimator: just type mount..
[16:52] <unop> lianimator,  just type  mount   and it should show you what's mounted
[16:52] <jez> yes
[16:52] <mweichert> ikonia, thanks. I thought maybe I did something wrong because I tried removing a disk from my array, and re-adding it - but I'm having problems when I try to re-add: mdadm: cannot find valid superblock in this array - HELP
[16:52] <paperclip> unop: jinks!
[16:52] <unop> lianimator, no arguments or flags needed
[16:52] <sphenxes> What programs work with Virtualbox? I have tried to install several programs but haven't worked (eg. skype, games: empire earth, Fritz 8). Is there a link to find what programs works in Virtualbox.
[16:53] <paperclip> lubuntu torrent is pretty healthy folks..  On CLI is usually something like:  sudo smbpasswd -a username && sudo smbpasswd -e username         (add then enable). a restart of samba after this is also required with something like sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[16:54] <crash1hd>  OK I am confused when I do mount /dev/sdb1 /home/username/folder <-- which exists I get only root has permission to mount yet in user privileges I have set mount user space file system
[16:54] <xover> i need to add a connected route in ubuntu, how do i do this?
[16:54] <paperclip> it doesn't show the status already?
[16:54]  * paperclip heard KDE was pimp n stuff
[16:54] <mweichert> ikonia, not sure what you mean by "alternative superblocks" - but yeah the array is running
[16:54] <jez> genii: is there a gui way to add samba users?
[16:54] <pierref1> Hi
[16:54] <grawity> jez: system-config-samba
[16:54] <ikonia> mweichert: a file system has many super blocks on it
[16:54] <unop> lianimator, you might like to use the df command then.   df -Th | grep "/media/DATA"
[16:54] <Guest2426> hola
[16:54] <genii> jez: There is, but offhand I don't know because I'm primary CLI
[16:55] <Guest2426> any use freej+icecast?
[16:55] <ikonia> mweichert: to add a disk to an array the superblock shouldn't matter, what mdadm command are you using to add ?
[16:55] <paperclip> unop: that works for the /media/DATA drive
[16:55] <lianimator> oh thanks unop, that looks good
[16:55] <mweichert> mdadm --add /dev/md0 //dev/sdd1
[16:56] <pierref1> Hello, can anybody help me for installing Ubuntu?
[16:56] <unop> paperclip, indeed.
[16:56] <mskut> How come my computer doesn't detect my iPod when I connect it? Do I need to install some drivers?
[16:56] <pierref1> There are 1483 persons in this room!!! How do I get something asked?
[16:56] <paperclip> unop: i thought he was working on making any drive's status display
[16:56] <jez> woohoo finally got it working after configuring a user
[16:56] <jez> thanks :-)
[16:56] <Pici> !ask | pierref1
[16:57] <pierref1> Thx
[16:57] <unop> paperclip, he was working on a single volume's stats.
[16:57] <ikonia> mweichert: try mdadm --manage /dev/$md --add /dev/sdd1
[16:57] <crash1hd> OK I am confused when I do mount /dev/sdb1 /home/username/folder <-- which exists I get only root has permission to mount yet in user privileges I have set mount user space file system
[16:57] <cyclinder> hi all
[16:57] <cyclinder> I have no .local folder
[16:57] <ikonia> crash1hd: only root has permissions to use the mount command
[16:57] <cyclinder> on /home/user
[16:57] <crash1hd> sudo mount works fine but I dont have access to the folder after
[16:57] <cyclinder> what's going on?
[16:57] <pierref1> After a fresh install on an AMD64, I get "hashsum mismatch" all the time
[16:58] <paperclip> unop: <lianimator> unop: sort of. figuring out a way for conky to show the stats of mounted external drives
[16:58] <ikonia> crash1hd: ou need to use sudo mount  to mount the disk, then set the permissions for user access on the file system
[16:58] <paperclip> unop: note the plural drives :P
[16:58] <crash1hd> ikonia, ahh ok is that was fstab does basically?
[16:58] <ikonia> !pm  > Guest2426
[16:58] <unop> paperclip, <lianimator> unop: oh yikes, a bunch of output.. need to grep.
[16:58] <ikonia> crash1hd: no - fstab is used for auto mounting
[16:59] <crash1hd> ikonia, just asking cause I can access the files in those drives fine
[16:59] <paperclip> unop: i'm still shocked that koqueror doesn't do this already..
[16:59] <ikonia> crash1hd: so there is no problem
[16:59] <crash1hd> ikonia, guess not :) thanks for the info
[16:59] <yaaar> anybody know why the 8.04LTS server installer says it can't mount the cdrom? it's the amd64 version on a quad-core opteron dell server. i've tried two discs...
[16:59] <pierref1> After a fresh install on an AMD64, I get "hashsum mismatch" all the time when trying to install/upgrade packages
[17:00] <Guest2426> I have a problem (ubuntu+icecast2+freej) configuration, any have a config freej to it?
[17:00] <mweichert> ikonia, hmm, I'd try that if I could. I thought I'd try stopping my array and adding the drive. However, after stopping my drive and then trying to run it again with mdadm --run /dev/md0 I get the error: "failed to run array /dev/md0: Invalid argument"
[17:00] <ikonia> mweichert: /dev/md0 probably non longer exists after you stopped it
[17:00] <unop> paperclip, conky is not konqueror (or vice-versa)
[17:00] <ikonia> mweichert: try "mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --run
[17:00] <mweichert> ikonia, no it exists
[17:01] <mweichert> ikonia, same error
[17:01] <paperclip> unop: oh.. what is conky.. i thought it was a term of endearment for the filemanager/browser?
[17:01] <ikonia> rats
[17:01] <cyclinder> I have no .local folder on home/user what's wrong? I see the hiden files
[17:01] <thiebaude> !conky
[17:01] <unop> paperclip, it's a desktop widgets application
[17:01] <unop> !info conky
[17:01] <Pici> cyclinder: Why do you think that directory should exist?
[17:01] <pierref1> After a fresh install on an AMD64, I get "hashsum mismatch" all the time when trying to install/upgrade packages

[17:03] <unop> proq, smbclient or smbget
[17:03] <llutz> olvap: at ~/.rails/generators/extjsgrid

"Monitor Resolution Settings has detected that the virtual resolution must be set in your configuration file in order to apply your settings" although it will do it automatically for me.. it messes it up. how can i edit the config file myself?
[17:07] <proq> Padhu: scp? what is the syntax to grab a file from a samba server with scp?
[17:08] <epaphus> What is the GUI utility that i can install to unrar??
[17:08] <llutz> proq: scp is ssh, not smb/samba
[17:08] <sebsebseb>
[17:08] <grawity> epaphus: Are you sure it _is_ a valid .rar file?
[17:08] <Beefcakes> pagix: awesome, hehe.. how do I start? :S
[17:08] <grawity> epaphus: Does the 'file' command recognize it as such?
[17:08] <untermensch> proq: you can only push files with scp.
[17:09] <proq> llutz: I know scp is ssh
[17:09] <llutz> untermensch: wrong
[17:09] <grawity> untermensch: scp works in both directions.
[17:09] <untermensch> llutz: what?? you can grab??
[17:09] <untermensch> holy wow..
[17:09] <llutz> untermensch: read manpage

[17:10] <untermensch> anyway, how can i edit the settings in my config file that controls my monitor resolution settings?

[17:10] <Paschu> Ok, ubuntu netbook remix is running on my netbook. But suddenly i dont have connection to my internetz - what should i do?
[17:10] <zopiac> but why would it be there in the first place >.<
[17:10] <cyclinder> I have a problem with the trashcan
[17:10] <cyclinder> what can I do?
[17:11] <Crash1hd> For some reason my 1TB Drive is not showing up in Places my 320GB and 251GB drives do just not the 1TB? I can mount the 1TB and then it shows but the 320 and the 250 showup even without being mounted? any idea why?
[17:11] <untermensch> cyclinder: ... what's your problem?
[17:11] <grawity> cyclinder: Step 1: Tell us what exactly is the problem.
[17:11] <cyclinder> files don't exist but diskspace now is all taken
[17:11] <ikonia> mweichert: yes that should contain your array data/detail
[17:11] <cyclinder> files deleted from the ubuntu main hd and from my others
[17:11] <Pici> zopiac: I don't know. You either downloaded it accidentally or someone else did and stuck it there.  Is that file owned by your user?
[17:11] <padi999> I take my stupid question back :)
[17:11] <untermensch> cyclinder: please rephrase that.
[17:12] <zopiac> Pici: im the only one who ever uses my computer
[17:12] <cyclinder> I delete files from my main ubuntu hd file files I have downloaded from FTP
[17:12] <Pici> cyclinder: Can you verify that the space is actually still being taken up by using the Disk Usage Analyzer in Applications>Accessories?
[17:12] <Axan> Is someone using Japanese input in Non-X evironement ? I mean, how to input Japanese in terminal (not using X) ?
[17:12] <cyclinder> and I don't get the diskspace back
[17:12] <Paschu> cmon, help me!

[17:13] <Paschu> it just happens
[17:13] <cyclinder> nothing is on trash:///
[17:13] <jopojop> where is the place to post questions about software upgrades?
[17:13] <cyclinder> but I still don't have any diskspace
[17:14] <kn100> jopojop, try here
[17:14] <cyclinder> how can I select an hd on disk analizer?
[17:14] <mweichert> ikonia, I think maybe that's where I went wrong. I didn't add anything to that file.
[17:14] <cyclinder> I have 3
[17:14] <sebsebseb> Paschu: nope can't exactly help, since I don't use the netbook remix
[17:14] <xover> how do i forward traffic in ubuntu?
[17:14] <xover> i have enabled ip_forward
[17:14] <cyclinder> oh its the total
[17:14] <Paschu> its like ubuntu
[17:14] <ikonia> mweichert: aaahhhh
[17:14] <Paschu> can someone help?
[17:14] <kn100> Paschu, your issue?
[17:15] <Paschu> i repeat it
[17:15] <ikonia> mweichert: you're meant to do an mdadm --detail > mdadm.conf
[17:15] <cyclinder> files from trash are beeing kept somewhere on the filesystem
[17:15] <cyclinder> and I have no .local folder
[17:15] <mweichert> ikonia, yes I just read that :(
[17:15] <yaaar> anybody know why the 8.04LTS server installer says it can't mount the cdrom? it's the amd64 version on a quad-core opteron dell server. i've tried two discs...
[17:15] <cyclinder> what can I do?
[17:15] <untermensch> cyclinder: right click on the trash bin icon, and select empty trash
[17:15] <ikonia> mweichert: ahhh, there is a way to get the information, let me see if I can find it, it's pretty obscure
[17:15] <cyclinder> its in gray
[17:15] <Paschu> kn100, im in the internetz with my ubuntu but suddenly the connection brakes
[17:15] <untermensch> cyclinder: do you still not have disk space?
[17:15] <cyclinder> can't do it
[17:15] <sebsebseb> cyclinder: ah yes this can happen
[17:15] <jopojop> how do I install a newer version of software which is not in the repository
[17:15] <cyclinder> on my other hds yes
[17:16] <jussi01> ubottu: test
[17:16] <cyclinder> on my main no
[17:16] <Halitech> cyclinder, did you delete something as root?
[17:16] <cyclinder> on the others I delete trash-0
[17:16] <kn100> jopojop, enable backports or find a .deb of the newer version
[17:16] <cyclinder> and its done
[17:16] <kn100> what program are you looking to upgrade?
[17:16] <cyclinder> is there trash-o somewhere on the ubuntu main hd?
[17:16] <sebsebseb> CyberSix: yeah trash-0  you mean in a hidden .folder in home or something?
[17:16] <kn100> if its firefox, look for ubuntuzilla
[17:16] <Padhu> I want to upload mobile numbers nearly 200 from openoffice spread sheet to sim using SLVR L9. wammu shows phone and sim list. but i can't create an new sim contact
[17:16] <jopojop> what is backports and how do I do that
[17:16] <kn100> jopojop, unofficial updates to packages
[17:17] <kn100> administration > software sources
[17:17] <kn100> then tick back ports
[17:17] <coldboot> Is there a log of packages updated with the package update manager?
[17:17] <jopojop> aha, thank you I'll try that
[17:17] <cyclinder> can anyone help?
[17:17] <kn100> what are you trying to upgrade btw?
[17:17] <Paschu> hm
[17:17] <kn100> if you are trying to do firefox 3.5 the easiest way is ubuntuzilla
[17:17] <mweichert> ikonia, II'm not sure I understand the true definition of raid disks vs spare disks either. To start, I want to have three disks mirrored. After the initial mirror, I want to remove one of the disk and take it offsite. Then after a week passes, I'll bring it back in - disconnect another drive to take home, and reattach the previous drive - so again I'll have two raid devices
[17:17] <Paschu> its so important
[17:17] <FoolishOwl> I tried to compile using "gcc -o hello hello.cpp" and got errors. "g++ -o hello hello.cpp" worked fine. Shouldn't gcc recognize that it was C++ from the file name?
[17:18] <Halitech> cyclinder, there will be a trash folder in the /root folder if you deleted something as root
[17:18] <kn100> Paschu, ask in the forums
[17:18] <sebsebseb> cyclinder: hmm see above I messaged  CyberSix  by mistake
[17:18] <Paschu> i dont have the time to do that
[17:18] <jopojop> kn100: what is ubuntuzilla
[17:18] <Padhu> I want to upload mobile numbers nearly 200 from openoffice spread sheet to sim using SLVR L9. wammu shows phone and sim list. but i can't create an new sim contact
[17:18] <Padhu> proq: scp is useful if you have an linux OS in both side. but source machine must have ssh server
[17:18] <Inf_lappy_> FoolishOwl, in a word: no.
[17:18] <Inf_lappy_> g++ is for C++. gcc is for C.
[17:19] <cyclinder> cant't find it sebse
[17:19] <cyclinder> say again
[17:19] <FoolishOwl> Inf_lappy, so that was normal, expected behavior?
[17:19] <kn100> jopojop, ubuntuzilla is a python script that will update your firefox install to the newest one from the site without the silly shiretoko branding
[17:19] <proq> Padhu: I know... I use scp several times a day
[17:19] <kn100> jopojop, just google for ubuntuzilla, and follow the instructions
[17:19] <Inf_lappy_> FoolishOwl, yes. that is normal
[17:19] <cyclinder> yes
[17:19] <FoolishOwl> Thanks.
[17:19] <cyclinder> hideen on my other hds
[17:19] <proq> Padhu: it's useful whether you're on windows, os x or linux.  but I have windows-heads here at my day job
[17:19] <sebsebseb> cyclinder: yeah trash-0  you mean in a hidden .folder in home or something?
[17:19] <cyclinder> if it where one on my main ubuntu hd
[17:19] <cyclinder> I would just delete it
[17:19] <cyclinder> and get the disk space back
[17:19] <sebsebseb> cyclinder: delete from the hidden folder?
[17:20] <cyclinder> is there any?
[17:20] <cyclinder> delete the folder yes
[17:20] <jopojop> thank you kn100
[17:20] <cyclinder> my final solution I am stuck
[17:20] <kn100> jopojop, :D
[17:20] <cyclinder> yes
[17:20] <Halitech> cyclinder, there will be a trash folder in the /root folder if you deleted something as root
[17:20] <proq> Padhu: anyhow, smbget -a smb://debp/PUBLIC/foo.tar  gets the job done
[17:20] <cyclinder> on home yes
[17:20] <sebsebseb> cyclinder: this  kind of thing has happended to me before if  I remember correctly, when for example I deleted something in Ubuntu from the VIsta partition
[17:21] <cyclinder> where is /root?
[17:21] <coldboot> Is there a log for packages that are updated with the update manager?
[17:21] <cyclinder> you ment /user?
[17:21] <Halitech> cyclinder, /root
[17:21] <jopojop> enabling backports mean all software installs will use latest backports? What if I only would like to have lates for some software?
[17:21] <cyclinder> I do /root on nautilus and I get nothing
[17:22] <s1lverl0rd> @cyclinder: You have to be root to see it.
[17:22] <sebsebseb> cyclinder: /  is the file system and that's known as root
[17:22] <cyclinder> oh
[17:22] <cyclinder> whats the pass?
[17:22] <cyclinder> for root
[17:22] <s1lverl0rd> @cyclinder: Try Alt > F2, then gksu nautilus
[17:22] <IdleOne> !root | cyclinder
[17:22] <Halitech> cyclinder, press ALT + F2 enter gksudo nautilus and then browse to /root
[17:22] <jopojop> will whole system upgrade to backports when I do software updates?
[17:22] <sebsebseb> cyclinder: you don't need to go into   /root  to   delete  stuff,   did I even know about /root hmm
[17:22] <jopojop> (I'm new on this)
[17:23] <cyclinder> doesn't work with xchat
[17:23] <sebsebseb> jopojop: you don't normalely neeed backports enabled, in fact it tends not to do much good,  what are you trying to install?
[17:23] <cyclinder> I need to reboot brb
[17:23] <Halitech> sebsebseb, if he used sudo to delete anything thats where it would go
[17:23] <cyclinder> its /root
[17:23] <cyclinder> right?
[17:23] <FloodBot2> cyclinder: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:23] <jopojop> latest bzr and maybe Firefox
[17:23] <Halitech> cyclinder, correct
[17:23] <cyclinder> brb
[17:23] <sebsebseb> Halitech: ah ok
[17:24] <Crash1hd> where do automounts mount too?
[17:24] <Paschu> need help! The wireless lan connection brakes suddenly - what 2 do?
[17:24] <unop> Crash1hd, under /media usually
[17:24] <Halitech> Crash1hd, usually /media
[17:24] <sebsebseb> !wireless |  Paschu
[17:24] <sebsebseb> Paschu: maybe useless also
[17:24] <jopojop> in Windows you just download and install the version you want
[17:25] <frede> How can I add windows 7 to grub?
[17:25] <proq> my sound is always turned down to 5% and muted when I reboot.  how do I get it to stay at 50% unmuted?
[17:25] <sebsebseb> frede: Why?   and there's an example entry for adding Windows in the  menu.lst    gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[17:26] <Crash1hd> unop: Halitech: thankyou both (Either of you know why a hdd that shows up as /dev/sdb1 doesnt show up in nautilus under computer?
[17:26] <Beefcaked> hi guys, on the upper right of the screen i see the name i typed in during the ubuntu installation and also an icon which represents my current status
[17:26] <frede> sebsebseb, i keep getting some device error :(
[17:26] <Halitech> Crash1hd, its not mounted?
[17:26] <Crash1hd> Halitech: no its not
[17:26] <Beefcaked> what is the status thing for? am i part of some social network because i have choices like away, invisible, etc?
[17:26] <Paschu> ill ask later again
[17:26] <unop> Crash1hd, usually only removable media are automounted -- is this device removable?
[17:26] <Crash1hd> Halitech: thing is neither is the 320 or the 250 gb drives but they show up as a mountable drive but the 1tb doesnt
[17:26] <mweichert> how do I stop usb drives from being automounted?
[17:27] <Crash1hd> unop: ahhh
[17:27] <sebsebseb> !grub |  frede
[17:27] <grouse> beefcaked, problem pidgin auto logging you in to msn/gtalk or whatever
[17:27] <frede> sebsebseb, I better look into that, ty
[17:27] <Crash1hd> unop: Halitech: thats why the 2 drives the 320 and the 250 are on removable sata ports and the 1tb isnt :) ok thankyou (thought I was going crazy there for a min)
[17:27] <grouse> *probably
[17:28] <sebsebseb> frede: ok  no probs
[17:28] <Beefcaked> oh okay, so it has something to do with pidgin, i get it, thanks
[17:29] <scoates> hello.
[17:29] <scoates> any idea where I can get the create database schema for postfix-policyd? I don't seem to have the proper database, and my searching was fruitless.
[17:29] <grouse> beefcaked, yep, pidgin is integrated with the user switcher in 8.10 upwards
[17:29] <jopojop> guess I should go find some text about software installs in Ubuntu, the alternatives I know of so far are package repositories and source code compilation, I don't understand any of them very well :) :)
[17:29] <kielanmatt> hi all
[17:29] <padi999> Hey guys. I have an encrypted hdd which does not mount at boot (not in fstab), now I want to use mount --bind with some folders after a manual mount. Do I have to script that?
[17:30] <kielanmatt> is It possible that the nvidia official drivers are fucked?
[17:30] <s1lverl0rd> @kielanmatt: possible? probable.
[17:30] <kielanmatt> y?
[17:30] <kielanmatt> probable?
[17:31] <kielanmatt> i tried both 173 and 180
[17:31] <jopojop> what's a PPA?
[17:31] <kielanmatt> and my app seems to fail only on my PC
[17:31] <stercor> What application (except Nautilus, it changes my session too much) shows icons of files and displays them correctly according to file type.
[17:31] <xover> guys, does internet connection sharing use NAT?
[17:31] <grawity> It does
[17:31] <kannan01> can we integrate thunderbird in panel clock..
[17:31] <xover> why isnt IP_masquerading enabled then?
[17:32] <grouse> jobojop, its an acronym for personal package archive
[17:32] <sayanriju> stercor, there are loads of alternative file managers
[17:32] <panfist> i'm trying to ssh into an ubuntu server running ssh and i see the error message "permission denied (a list of authentication methods)"
[17:32] <sebsebseb> !ppa >  jopojop
[17:32] <frede> how do I find the correct address to the partition windows is installed on? you know (hdd, partition)
[17:32] <mostafa_> hello there I have a problem when I want to play a music on the headphone it plays the music on both headphone and speakers what should I do?
[17:32] <panfist> what does this list mean? were those methods available, unavailabale? attempted?
[17:32] <sayanriju> stercor, pcmanfm, thunar, xfe,....ad infinitum
[17:32] <mostafa_> plz
[17:32] <Crash1hd> how do you see the owner I know chown changes the owner but if I just want to view it?
[17:32] <grawity> frede: the /dev one? sudo blkid, or maybe sudo fdisk -l
[17:32] <grawity> Crash1hd: ls -l
[17:32] <sczgilae> anybody knows how to configure kubuntu 9.04 to re-measure automatically the K panel according to the screen?
[17:33] <Crash1hd> grawity: ahh yes thanks :)
[17:33] <grawity> Crash1hd: Or stat -c %U somefile
[17:33] <stercor> sayanriju: I need a (few) names...
[17:33] <sebsebseb> jopojop: basically for  later packages you can  use a ppa,   but  ppa's can also sometimes cause problems,   so  you shoudn't install  to many
[17:33] <kielanmatt> would changing my drivers help?
[17:33] <frede> grawity, well, the one i need to add to grub
[17:33] <kielanmatt> or changing ubuntu version
[17:33] <grawity> frede: Hmm
[17:33] <grawity> frede: Use 'sudo blkid', and add the UUID instead
[17:33] <sebsebseb> jopojop: or you wait for a later Ubuntu  for a later version of the program, or install in another way
[17:34] <kannan01> can we integrate thunderbird in panel clock...
[17:34] <mostafa_> hello there I have a problem when I want to play a music on the headphone it plays the music on both headphone and speakers what should I do?
[17:34] <sayanriju> stercor, Try pcmanfm and thunar to start with
[17:34] <sebsebseb> jopojop: ,but they are basically  little repos that can be added
[17:34] <frede> grawity, ok, i have the UUID how to add that?
[17:35] <kielanmatt> dudes seriously answear my question
[17:35] <paperclip> dues
[17:35] <panfist> >> is append and > is overwrite, right?
[17:35] <paperclip> er.. dudes
[17:35] <grouse> mostafa, you could manually mute the speaker channel with alsamixer
[17:35] <outbri> I've got a question I'm not sure which channel to ask in. How can I change my root password (if I have another account with root privileges) from grub?
[17:35] <sebsebseb> !patience |  kielanmatt
[17:35] <frede> grawity: root(UUID) ??
[17:35] <sebsebseb> !root |  outbri
[17:35] <kielanmatt> mkayy
[17:35] <sebsebseb> !noroot |  outbri
[17:36] <grawity> frede: I think the line should look like 'uuid blahblah-blah-blah', instead of 'root (hdblahblah)
[17:36] <outbri> sebsebseb: can you direct me to a channel where someone might know how? I am fully away ubuntu disables root by default. thanks.
[17:36] <kannan01> ubottu:can we set root password by using passwd..
[17:37] <Halitech> outbri, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=716201
[17:37] <Myrtti> !noroot | kannan01
[17:37] <guest_007> kannan01: sudo passwd
[17:37] <Myrtti> guest_007: please do not suggest that
[17:37] <mostafa_> hello there I have a problem when I want to play a music on the headphone it plays the music on both headphone and speakers what should I do?
[17:37] <grawity> kannan01: You can. Nobody stops you from doing that. But Ubuntu will not help you with possible problems.
[17:37] <xover> I have enabled internet connection sharing, but when doing 'netstat -M' it says no IP_masquerading on this system
[17:37] <guest_007> Myrtti: why not?
[17:37] <grouse> mostafa, see previous answer
[17:37] <Myrtti> guest_007: it's not supported by the community or canonical
[17:37] <xover> mostafa_: my macboopro does that, not ideal is it
[17:37] <erUSUL> !rootpass | guest_007
[17:38] <xover> mostafa_: if you remove them and readd them it stops.
[17:38] <Myrtti> guest_007: if you enable root password, all problems that you have after that with root accounts and being root, you're on your own
[17:38] <Halitech> !sudo guest_007

[17:38] <Myrtti> !wfm | guest_007
[17:38] <sebsebseb> outbri: have a look at what Myrtti just said
[17:38] <outbri> Halitech: thanks for the link, but what I'm really looking for is another channel. I'm actually running pld, but at grub both ubuntu and pld act the same way.
[17:38] <mostafa_> xover: remove what?
[17:38] <xover> headphones
[17:39] <guest_007> i use another root password and modified sudoers because it is secure
[17:39] <sebsebseb> !grub |  outbri
[17:39] <outbri> sebsebseb: I know I'm on my own with ubuntu support. I'm just looking for channel suggestions.
[17:39] <xover> it happens when they are already plugged in
[17:39] <Myrtti> guest_007: good luck. Do not suggest it to others.
[17:39] <guest_007> Canonical is abusing sudo
[17:39] <Myrtti> guest_007: you're entitled to your opinion, but you're politely asked to keep it from this channel.
[17:39] <Myrtti> guest_007: and from the advice you give
[17:39] <sebsebseb> outbri: ##linux ?
[17:39] <grouse> mostafa_, modify your audio channels via alsamixer, and store settings with command "alsactl store"
[17:40] <outbri> sebsebseb: I'll try and go from there. thanks.
[17:40] <amee2k> i'm trying to install an umts usb stick... but something in unusual_devs.h seems to interfere. i'm on latest non-lts (iirc 9.4 or so). how do i download and recompile the kernel sources?
[17:40] <xmnt> anyone having issues or know how to fix  pulseaudio + skype + mic input ... all i get is static
[17:41] <grouse> xmnt, I get that also, tis a pain
[17:41] <lenswipe> can someone help me get samba to manage printer drivers?
[17:41] <lenswipe> theres nobody home in #samba
[17:41] <xmnt> grouse, yeah .. everything else works great I just realized my mic wasn't working when someone tried to call
[17:41] <guest_007> lenswipe: printers are PITA
[17:41] <grouse> lol
[17:41] <lenswipe> guest_007, huh?
[17:42] <amee2k> any hints?
[17:42] <lenswipe> guest_007, what do you mean?
[17:42] <mostafa_> grouse: I check them via alsamixer these are disabled "1: headphone 2: inout So"
[17:42] <guest_007> lenswipe: CUPS is pain in the ass...
[17:42] <Myrtti> lenswipe: when helping, be helpful. If you have nothing to say apart from smart comments, then stay quiet so you don't confuse people asking for help
[17:42] <Myrtti> lenswipe: sorry
[17:42] <amee2k> cups > samba :P
[17:42] <Myrtti> guest_007: that was for you
[17:43] <lenswipe> guest_007, i wasnt gonna use CUPS nyway - i was gonna use the print$ share
[17:44] <guest_007> lenswipe: you can't do it without cups. because cups is what does printing )
[17:44] <amee2k> how do i recompile my kernel ubuntu-style?
[17:44] <guest_007> amee2k: look at ubuntu forum. there is large info source
[17:44] <lenswipe> guest_007, im not trying to print from it - just provide a location to download print drivers from - i understand thats what the print$ share is for but i dont know how to get it to work
[17:44] <Beefcaked> are there best practices for linux? im trying to install http://linuxtv.org/hg/~pinchartl/uvcvideo/ and im not sure where to
[17:45] <guntbert> !ohmy | guest_007
[17:45] <amee2k> all i found was a badly outdated howto for 8.4 or so
[17:45] <guest_007> lenswipe: ahhh, that... i think, the fastest and easiest way is to create this share on pure windows pc then replicate it.
[17:46] <amee2k> i was wondering if there is any official documentation about this
[17:46] <padi999> What could be the reason, that my firewall accepts ftp connections from clients using the program "ftp" and those who use firefox or konqueror are denied?
[17:46] <amee2k> i'd kinda expect it from something like ubuntu
[17:46] <genii> !kernel | amee2k
[17:46] <lenswipe> guest_007, not sure what you mean
[17:46] <grawity> padi999: 'ftp' probably defaults to active mode
[17:46] <guest_007> Beefcaked: the best practice - to install everything by default. it's pretty good and you definitely won't break anything
[17:46] <grawity> padi999: FTP has two modes: active (server connects to client for data transfers) and passive (client connects to server)
[17:47] <genii> amee2k: Also be warned that if you run your own custom kernel, support may be hard to come by
[17:47] <TTNK> hi, can somebody help me pleae? i dont have network manager nor wicd, i have the cd, trying to install network manager from there with no success, tried to connect with eth0 ifup, it pings ip in the lan, but not outside the lan, can somebody help me please?
[17:48] <Beefcaked> guest_007: sorry i dont really follow. im about to install something off a website that couldnt possibly have come with the installer of ubutu
[17:48] <guest_007> lenswipe: Find a windows PC, install printer drivers (remove excess drivers), share printer. Go to it's print$ and copy all share to your own
[17:48] <treble54> I'm trying to update libnotify to 0.4.5 or greater and for some reason, I'm unable to
[17:48] <lenswipe> guest_007, right what im saying is how?
[17:48] <treble54> (through synaptic, on intrepid)
[17:48] <treble54> anyone have any ideas?
[17:48] <lenswipe> guest_007, i got printer drivers installed on my laptop
[17:48] <lenswipe> guest_007, now what?
[17:49] <guest_007> lenswipe: hmm. i am confused :) i understood that you want just to make a fake printer share to allow someone to install drivers. It's possible.
[17:50] <jopojop> sebsebseb: thanks for the help, I'm too slow to follow this chat in realtime :)
[17:50] <lenswipe> guest_007, yeah thats it, just not sure how...

[17:54] <guntbert> Beefcaked: ah you want your webcam to work - please look at the link from ubottu about webcams
[17:54] <guntbert> !webcam | Beefcaked
[17:54] <guest_007> lenswipe: yes, that's it. they could install drivers from that share. but they won't go further. because there is no actual printer.
[17:54] <Beefcaked> Myrtti: no I havent :|
[17:54] <genii> amee2k: So then you're NOT here for support ? <laughs>
[17:54] <Myrtti> Beefcaked: oh, nevermind me

[17:54] <og01> anybody know how to disable usb_core autosuspend on ubuntu 9.04
[17:55] <Beefcaked> Myrtti: i tried looking for uvcvideo in add/remove and it lists nothing
[17:55] <Myrtti> Beefcaked: just checked and there is nothing to install from the repos... but do check the links ubottu gave you
[17:55] <amee2k> genii: community support. i need to behave like a noob to get a reaction from this chan too, but it is still far superior to the message board n sutff
[17:56] <amee2k> also, something in my unusual_devs.h may be fucking with my usb modem, which was my original question

[17:57] <sebsebseb> !english | amee2k
[17:57] <amee2k> are you a bot?
[17:57] <gajop> how would i go on removing files installed with cmake? some programs i installed don't seem to have a make uninstall in their makefiles, i still have the source, but i don't know how to remove all the files installed, and there's too many files to remove to do it manually
[17:57] <sebsebseb> !bot |  amee2k
[17:58] <amee2k> can you talk?
[17:58] <Myrtti> amee2k: and we have people from all cultures, ages and religions, and to show respect to everyone, we request you to not swear.
[17:58] <og01> anybody know how to disable usb autosuspend in latest ubuntu?
[17:58] <amee2k> jay. someone is actually talking to me in person
[17:58] <grawity> amee2k: and yes, ubottu is a bot.
[17:59] <amee2k> Myrtti: since you ask nicely, i'll try to do my best :)
[18:00] <sipior> treble54: not with synaptic. at least not on ibex (which shipped with 0.4.4)
[18:00] <Padhu> I want to upload phone contacts nearly 200 numbers in the form of openoffice spread sheet to Motorola SLVR L9 phone. How can i do this?
[18:00] <treble54> yeah
[18:00] <sipior> treble54: you can build it yourself, of course, or just upgrade the overall installation.
[18:01] <treble54> I just figured there would be a way to get it through aptitude by maybe adjusting a package or source or something
[18:01] <treble54> sipior: thx

[18:04] <nkvorn> hey guys. i have firefox 3.5 installed using the update manager however i keeps telling me that i need to install firefox 3.5 update. i installed it four times but it still suggests it. anyone has aclue?
[18:05] <kjs> what does the alias cmd do
[18:05] <xim_> what is the syntax to append text to the end of a file? what if its several lines of text?
[18:05] <grawity> xim_: >>
[18:05] <ziker> is firefox-3.5 new name shiritoko for Ubuntu?
[18:05] <grawity> kjs: What does the 'help' command do? :)
[18:05] <llutz> kjs: help alias
[18:06] <erUSUL> kjs: define shell aliases
[18:06] <xim_> grawity: what if its just a string of text and not a programs output i want to put in there?  maybe echo xyz >> text.txt?
[18:06] <grawity> xim_: It is exactly the same
[18:06] <erUSUL> xim_: that works
[18:06] <grawity> xim_: The 'echo' command is just like any other program.
[18:06] <Halitech> ziker, yes
[18:07] <Inf_lappy_> ziker, firefox-3.0 will remain "firefox" on ubuntu until karmic (at least). i _believe_ it's policy not to have two different versions with the firefox branding. hence 3.5 goes by the codename "shiretoko"
[18:07] <grawity> xim_: It outputs text like any other program, and can be redirected that way.
[18:07] <xim_> k thx
[18:07] <ziker> it's the same thing as debian iceweasel??
[18:08] <ziker> ok.thanks
[18:08] <Halitech> ziker, iceweasel is firefox minus the branding due to issues between the firefox people and the debian devs
[18:08] <nkvorn> anyone?
[18:09] <__theIdiotBox> nkvorn, what?
[18:09] <nkvorn>  i have firefox 3.5 installed using the update manager however i keeps telling me that i need to install firefox 3.5 update. i installed it four times but it still suggests it. anyone has aclue?
[18:09] <cmp> Gnea, ?
[18:10] <__theIdiotBox> nkvorn, that means update manager is not able to find that it
[18:10] <ziker> can i add somehow lm-sensors to my panel?
[18:10] <Halitech> nkvorn, run firefox as sudo ( gksudo firefox ) then go to Edit - Preferences - Advanced tab and uncheck automatically check for updates
[18:10] <__theIdiotBox> nkvorn, * it has already been updated...right?
[18:11] <Hagus> I want to download the latest STABLE version of cakephp.  How would I include the correct repository?  The default ubuntu9.04 synaptic fetch is UNSTABLE 3.

[18:11] <Beefcaked> hi guys the webcam stuff ubottu provided isnt designed for 9.04]
[18:11] <Hagus> Is it possible to fetch a self-installing version?
[18:11] <__theIdiotBox> nkvorn, try the suggestion from Halitech ....
[18:11] <Halitech> ziker, lm-sensors is just what grabs the info, you would use something like conky, gkrellem or xsensors to get a gui readout
[18:11] <cmp> Gnea, are you free to help me ?
[18:11] <lenswipe> can someone help me setup automatic printer driver download?
[18:11] <Hagus> If I use apt-get install - it is the development rather than the stable version that is available.
[18:12] <Halitech> Hagus, it will be whatever has been tested and put in the repo for the version you are using
[18:12] <__theIdiotBox> Hagus, how do you know that the version you are looking for is in the repo?...may be you have to manually get the deb and install it if you want the bleeding edge...
[18:13] <guntbert> !dualboot | devkhadka have you seen
[18:13] <R3> how can i connect to a localhost site in a browser as www.mysite.com ?
[18:13] <Hagus> the development version is the one available using apt-get;  I was looking for the stable version and hoping to be able to install that using apt-get.

[18:13] <heroid> how do i install midnight commander on ubuntu
[18:13] <__theIdiotBox> R3, put a local dns mapping for that site ....
[18:14] <erUSUL> !software | heroid
[18:14] <Hagus> I would have thought it ought to have been the stable version that was available via apt-get :)
[18:14] <__theIdiotBox> R3, and let that ip point to your machine...done!
[18:14] <R3> __theIdiotBox: how?
[18:14] <Beefcaked> can someone help me get my webcam to work under ubuntu?:)
[18:14] <R3> a local dns that is?
[18:14] <heroid> thanks
[18:15] <Halitech> R3, add <IP_ADDRESS>  www.mysite.com to your hosts file
[18:15] <__theIdiotBox> R3, i guess you have to put some entry in host file
[18:15] <Hagus> Sorry - my mistake.
[18:15] <__theIdiotBox> R3, yes just do what Halitech said...
[18:15] <Hagus> Please forgive me.
[18:15] <__theIdiotBox> Hagus, for what?
[18:15] <Yeti_69> !fr
[18:15] <Hagus> Turns out I misread what was in my Synaptic Manager :0
[18:15] <Halitech> R3, it's /etc/hosts  to edit it, gksudo gedit /etc/hosts
[18:16] <Hagus> I thought it was the development version but it turned out to be a release candidate instead.
[18:16] <__theIdiotBox> Hagus, ohhh...cooool
[18:16] <devkhadka> ubottu: couldnot get into the problem  by googling
[18:16] <R3> Halitech: ahh i see thanks
[18:16] <__theIdiotBox> devkhadka, ubottu is just a bot....
[18:16] <R3> need to get php working with nginx first :(
[18:16] <__theIdiotBox> R3, so now its working , right?
[18:17] <R3> __theIdiotBox: yes thanks
[18:17] <cmp> ubottu, would you please guide me where can i have my mobile modem driver and how can i get it work ?
[18:18] <R3> apart from php that is!
[18:18] <kevin123> hey could i get help from someone?
[18:18] <__theIdiotBox> R3, you're welcome
[18:18] <bizarrefish> hi alll
[18:18] <bizarrefish> i have a problem
[18:18] <__theIdiotBox> cmp, ubottu is just a bot.....what exactly is the problem with your modem? can you provide your modem details....
[18:18] <kevin123> i just created a new partition 'ext2' the problem is, i cant do anything with it, because it says i dont have root permission to use it
[18:19] <bizarrefish> i wanted to tinker with the filesystem.squashfs of a jaunty liveUSB, but now that i have unsquashed, messed with, and resquashed, some stuff isn't working right.
[18:19] <nkvorn> Halitech, did it but i dont think i should use sudo cause i had to chown -r profile. yet it did not fix aptitute needs to update firefox again :(
[18:19] <llutz> kevin123: use chown/chmod to change permissions
[18:19] <__theIdiotBox> kevin123, so you dont have write permission on it...add that permission first...
[18:19] <bizarrefish> i think the problem lies with file ownership
[18:19] <bizarrefish> one problem was sudo, which was complaining that it had to be setuid root
[18:19] <nkvorn> maybe i try upgrading once more to see...
[18:19] <bizarrefish> or something
[18:19] <kevin123> k, going to try that right now..
[18:19] <nkvorn> y
[18:20] <__theIdiotBox> kevin123, k ...coool
[18:20] <bizarrefish> when you unsquash, all the file ownership is to the unsquash-er
[18:21] <guntbert> devkhadka: I didn't ask you to "google it", I only asked if you saw the prepared instructions, so please tell us: what is your problem
[18:21] <Guest91287> Hello, is there a easy way to identify the driver my Sata HD is using? Having some minor trouble with compiling a new kernel.

[18:21] <cmp> theidiotbox, my modem is Vodafone k3520 and it was working fine when i installed my ubuntu for the first time - but when i upgraded my ubuntu - the modem is pluged and recognized but always asking for a password that i dont have any password on my ubuntu - it gives me this error all the time - and i really need to work with it as i have to restart with XP to connect it in case if i want to be online
[18:21] <llutz> Guest91287: lspci -v

[18:22] <lenswipe> does anyone know why different parts of linux go in different folders?
[18:22] <lenswipe> like why www goes in /var
[18:22] <lenswipe> and why samba goes in /etc
[18:22] <__theIdiotBox> cmp, use tab for nick completion...coming back to the point....have you provided all those config details including passwords etc after doing the upgrade?
[18:22] <alien> Unix tradition
[18:23] <lenswipe> alien, i know but there must be a good reason...
[18:23] <erUSUL> !fhs  | lenswipe
[18:23] <Beefcaked> !install
[18:23] <lenswipe> alien, im interested to know what the good reason is
[18:23] <lenswipe> erUSUL, thanks
[18:23] <__theIdiotBox> kevin123, chmod: changre rwx permissions .....
[18:23] <Guest91287> kevin123: if you are running Ubuntu: hit alt+f2, write in "gksu nautilus" enter your password on the popup, and change the permissions of whatever from the file manager you just opened.
[18:23] <Seidos> tradition could be a good enough reason
[18:23] <Beefcaked> does ubottu have a link on how to install from a tar gz?]
[18:23] <garchotron> tradition is not a good reason
[18:23] <erUSUL> !compile | Beefcaked
[18:23] <garchotron> it is a practical reason
[18:24] <guntbert> cmp: have you seen http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1244135 ?
[18:24] <erUSUL> Beefcaked: the important part is --> But remember to search for pre-built !packages first

[18:28] <Beefcaked> why is compiling called an awkward way of installing things?]
[18:29] <MichelFX23> understand
[18:29]  * ph33r waits patiently for an answer
[18:29] <alien> Beefcaked: it depends on what you're accustomed with

[18:29] <kannan01> is there any way to remind birthdays during startup?
[18:29] <del_diablo> Beefcaked: you can forget that you even installed it and then remove the installere which in irony most of the time also is the uninstaller. Besides, it is not as flexible as a repos(so long its updated quick enough).
[18:30] <Beefcaked> alien: well i just started using linux and ubuntu the other day
[18:30] <Pici> ph33r: It includes at least all the packages for the main and universe repositories, let me check if any of the other repositories are in there too
[18:31] <RockNRolla> someone know how to enable front jacks with alsa SigmaTel 92HD206X Ati-HDA ?
[18:31] <__theIdiotBox> kannan01, have some  scripts and put whatever you want in that script....and add them in say ~/.bash_login
[18:31] <alien> Beefcaked: most linux distros rely on their own packaging, so that updates(and not only) are handled in an uniform manner
[18:31] <sebsebseb> Beefcaked:  compiling  installing something from source can be a little awkward yes,   because of dependancies and such,  basically other packages/programs that also have to be installed
[18:31] <ph33r> Pici: yeah the repos are present, but not the packages ? it didn't let me choose the packages
[18:31] <ph33r> Pici: so does ubuntu a full dvd version too ?
[18:31] <amee2k> LOL!
[18:31] <sebsebseb> Beefcaked: if you use a Deb  though,  things  tend to just take care of them selves, when you download from the repo,  your  downloading and installing a Deb
[18:31] <Beefcaked> I understand
[18:32] <guntbert> cmp: have you seen http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1244135 ? Did it not help?
[18:32] <alien> Beefcaked: some distros rely on compilation for everything (like gentoo)
[18:32] <deitarion> What browser with a full-featured rendering-engine would you recommend for a system where Firefox is the heaviest app by at least one order of magnitude? (Possibly something WebKit-based?)
[18:32] <amee2k> "Reasons for NOT compiling a custom kernel: You got to this page by mistake, and checked it out because it looked interesting" << i think that was the best laugh i had all day
[18:32] <Pici> ph33r: It won't let you choose the packages, thats not how our installer works.  You can use it as a CD based repo if you do not want or have an internet connection to download packages from.
[18:32] <garchotron> opera or chromium
[18:32] <Berzerker-> firefox.l
[18:32] <b3rz3rk3r> Firefox garchotron  :p
[18:32] <Berzerker-> firefox*
[18:32] <Pici> !best
[18:32] <b3rz3rk3r> hahah
[18:32] <erUSUL> deitarion: webkit based --> midori / arora / epyphany-webkit
[18:32] <b3rz3rk3r> hi Berzerker
[18:33] <ph33r> Pici: hmm, to make it more user friendly ?
[18:33] <sebsebseb> !deb |  Beefcaked
[18:33] <sebsebseb> Beefcaked: and you don't use Debian Debs in Ubuntu
[18:33] <Pici> ph33r: I suppose
[18:33] <deitarion> erUSUL: Yeah, I'll probably use midori or arora. I just wanted to see if anyone else had any recommendations.
[18:33] <RockNRolla> someone know how to enable front jacks with alsa SigmaTel 92HD206X Ati-HDA ?
[18:33] <sebsebseb> Beefcaked: and you only get them from the repo, or a trusted source
[18:33] <deitarion> garchotron: Is there a version of Chromium in the repos not compiled by Google? (I don't trust them not to sneak Chrome's "snoop on the users" code back in)
[18:34] <amee2k> what version name does up to date non-lts ubuntu have?
[18:34] <ph33r> Pici: hmm, may I suggest 2 options? one for people like me hehe
[18:34] <Beefcaked> sebsebseb: i dont understand "and you dont use debian debs in ubuntu"
[18:34] <sebsebseb> Beefcaked: or something bad might happen
[18:34] <__theIdiotBox> deitarion, i guess not....
[18:34] <alankila> amee2k: karmic
[18:34] <amee2k> okay
[18:34] <sebsebseb> !debian |  Beefcaked
[18:34] <ph33r> amee2k: karmic koala
[18:34] <Halitech> sebsebseb, but Ubuntu is built on debian so why not use debian debs? ;)
[18:34] <Beefcaked> you mean debs made for debian?
[18:34] <Pici> amee2k, alankila: Karmic is not released yet.
[18:34] <cmp> guntbert, iam checking it now
[18:34] <sebsebseb> Halitech: see what the bot put
[18:34] <ph33r> 9.04
[18:34] <del_diablo> deitarion: Opera and thus presto
[18:34] <ph33r> jaunty then
[18:34] <alankila> amee2k: hmm yeah you didn't meant the up-coming version? Sorry.
[18:35] <deitarion> del_diablo: Closed-source. No thanks.
[18:35] <arand> RockNRolla: if you look into preferences in the mixer, are there any switches/options/controls which seem likely (test 'em!)
[18:35] <r4z0r> !debian
[18:35] <alankila> the current version is called jaunty, anyway.
[18:35] <Halitech> sebsebseb, I know, figured the question was coming so asked with the ;) on the end
[18:35] <Pici> Halitech: Because we do not have the same package names so you *will* have problems with dependencies.
[18:35] <garchotron> deitarion, dunno what version i'm using, but is equiv to the last chrome
[18:35] <del_diablo> deitarion: but it is a really decent browser! Also, just looking for a browser? What about seamonkey or its name?
[18:35] <alien> still, some packages that don't have many dependencies _may_ work
[18:35] <garchotron> it is the one that's in a repo listed in the ubuntutweak app
[18:35] <Halitech> Pici, see my previous post
[18:36] <Beefcaked> im still wanting to get my webcam to work. i just installed vlc an when i tried the capture stream thing.. it reports that i have Video for Linux and Video for Linux 2.. why do i have two? neither of the two get my cam to work
[18:36] <sebsebseb> Beefcaked:  thouands of programs available at your finger tips to install via  synaptic  or using commands,  so normalley you only need to install stuff from the repos
[18:36] <deitarion> del_diablo: Still Gecko-based. I don't feel like waiting for Firefox 4. (They explicitly said that speeding up the GUI is waiting 'til Firefox 4 on the roadmap)
[18:36] <tk_> hellom i have no sound with the totem videoplayer, with kaffeine i have any1 have an idea?
[18:36] <amee2k> alankila: well, i've been running non-lts ubuntu and keeping up with all the updates. what name would that have?
[18:36] <RockNRolla> arand, are ok
[18:36] <del_diablo> deitarion: very well, i give up <3
[18:36] <alankila> amee2k: cat /etc/apt/sources.list, it could be any of the non-lts ones I guess then. ;-)
[18:36] <guntbert> amee2k: type lsb_release -a
[18:37] <sebsebseb> Beefcaked: there's a program called cheese which configures web cams,   I haven't used it personalley though, since don't have a web cam
[18:37] <tk_> hellom i have no sound with the totem videoplayer, with kaffeine i have any1 have an idea?
[18:37] <deitarion> del_diablo: As for "really decent browser", if I were willing to let user experience trump freedom, I'd be using a Mac. Linux drives me up the wall sometimes, but I'm probably second only to RMS in how seriously I take open-source. (I'm willing to make exceptions, but only grudgingly)
[18:37] <Beefcaked> sebsebseb: I have cheese and it doesnt detect my webcam
[18:37] <alien> some webcamd are not supported in the ubuntu kernel (the microdia ones)
[18:37] <amee2k> jaunty-security
[18:37] <tk_> u activated the webcam in the BIOS?
[18:37] <deitarion> del_diablo: I comfortably use Gentoo on my main machine. Ubuntu is for family members and old boxes which can't compile quickly enough.
[18:37] <sebsebseb> Beefcaked: that's the other thing,   because  Linux  does  not  have enough market share yet on the desktop,  not all hardware manufactures suppourt it properly yet
[18:37] <Halitech> Beefcaked, does it show up in lsusb?

[18:38] <sebsebseb> Beefcaked: and so web cams, wireless, etc,   can be issues,  depending on what hardware people have
[18:38] <Beefcaked> Halitech: yes. it does as 05ca:1839 Ricoh Co., Ltd
[18:38] <alien> Beefcaked: what ID does it have in lsusb?
[18:38] <skyjumper> is there a channel for NetworkManager issues?
[18:38] <deitarion> guntbert: Just because I don't use Ubuntu exclusively doesn't mean I'm off-topic. I'm asking about a browser for my old 2Ghz Celeron with an IceWM-modified Xubuntu.
[18:38] <sebsebseb> Beefcaked: and  it  can be pretty annoying to configure hardware,   so that it wil hopefuly work,  espesially if your new
[18:39] <amee2k> if i get the sources for the linux-image-* packages, does it come with the same config that was used to build the stock kernel?

[18:40] <sebsebseb> Beefcaked: Maybe you also got some Windows programs you want to run?
[18:40] <Beefcaked> sebsebseb: thats true, howd you guess hehe
[18:40] <deitarion> mickster04: 50% of my problem is not knowing what is and isn't readily available in debs with Ubuntu dependency names.
[18:40] <lenswipe> how do i make a folder writable by the group "admin"

[18:41] <sebsebseb> Beefcaked:  a lot of stuff just works,   and works well in Wine these days, but not everything will,  and like configuring hardware in Linux,  configuring programs in Wine  can be rather annoying as well,   and that's where the Windows virtual machine comes in

[18:44] <a3> i just installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix on my mini laptop, asus eee pc 1000 ha.. and it doesn't
[18:44] <Thingymebob> needhelp: try ##php
[18:44] <grawity> needhelp: Probably. (##php may be a better place though.)
[18:44] <sipior> lenswipe: change the group owner with chown, or install the "acl" package, and try "setfacl -m g:admin:rw"
[18:44] <dcosta> the issue is whit the touchpad but when i double  click whit finger dont works any way for fix it ?
[18:45] <Beefcaked> Halitech: yes i have, but the problem is i have little understanding of the stuff in it. just started using ubuntu and linux formally yesterday
[18:45] <Pici> dcosta: You need to ask in #ubuntu+1 if you are running Karmic
[18:45] <sipior> lenswipe: chgrp, rather
[18:45] <lenswipe> sipior, right so i just do chgrp admin <<file here>>
[18:45] <tabassccoo> #ubuntu-pl
[18:45] <sebsebseb> Beefcaked: i'll have a look
[18:45] <needhelp> Thingymebob, grawity: I cant access #php, get redirected to ##overflow
[18:45] <guntbert> !synaptics | dcosta
[18:45] <Halitech> Beefcaked, don't worry about understanding it, just read through it and where it has stuff in a code box, you probably run that in a terminal
[18:46] <Thingymebob> needhelp: its ##php (two #)
[18:46] <sipior> lenswipe: yes. you can use ACLs to add extra groups, however, which is a more flexible solution. depends upon your needs, of course.
[18:46] <Pici> !register | needhelp you need to register to join that channel
[18:46] <lenswipe> sipior, i just need root to own this folder and admin to be able to write to it :)
[18:46] <r4z0r> !register
[18:47] <Pici> r4z0r: Just look at ubottu's response above, theres no need to request the factoid again
[18:47] <lenswipe> sipior, if i run ls -ld printers/ (which is the folder name...) i get the following:
[18:47] <lenswipe> sipior, drwxr-xr-x 2 root admin 4096 2009-09-02 18:39 printers/

[18:47] <lenswipe> sipior, what does the 2 mean after the permissions?
[18:47] <dcosta> the issu when i double  click in touchpad whit finger dont works any way for fix it ?
[18:47] <cmp> guntbert, iam sorry i lost my connection
[18:47] <sipior> lenswipe: the number of links to the directory.
[18:47] <Pici> dcosta: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[18:47] <lenswipe> dcosta, under mouse settings you can change that i think
[18:47] <lenswipe> sipior, whats the number of links to the directory?
[18:47] <dcosta> karmic kuala last kernel
[18:48] <lenswipe> sipior, the tutorial im following has a 3 there rather than a 2 should it matter?
[18:48] <Pici> dcosta: Then you need to asking in #ubuntu+1 not #ubuntu

[18:58] <stranger_in> SultansElephant, have u ever tried the terminal way.....
