[17:42] <mrnobody> why can i  change my nick??
[17:42] <urlin2u> gulzar, okay just checking, there are cross compatibility problems at time, so make sure it runs okay.
[17:42] <mrnobody> cant**
[17:43] <mrnobody> how do you change nick?
[17:43] <gulzar> urlin2u: hope so. I have a portable version of Ooo for backup and also Linux is on external HDD and I can simply boot with it.....but it will take some time.. So first option is better
[17:43] <mrnobody>  /nick?
[17:43] <edbian> mrnobody: yes
[17:43] <mrnobody> not working?
[17:43] <escott> mrnobody, /help should explain your clients commands
[17:43] <maahes> anyone willing to take a look at these two error logs and tell me why I can't get cairocompmgr to build? I've already checked and I have the development headers installed for everything that ./configure asks for: Autogen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660608/ configure: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660609/
[17:43] <matrixa1> you can't change nick while you're on a moderated channel
[17:44] <mrnobody> i cant talk in anyother chans
[17:44] <oCean> mrnobody: #freenode for that
[17:44] <matrixa1> but you can close the chan and rejoin it
[17:44] <urlin2u> gulzar, cool, I had some regular docs that in word 2007, looked good but in libre, rendered horribly.
[17:46] <gulzar> urlin2u: :) 100% is not possible but still we have the power to choose and to use.
[17:46] <krazykrivda> disconnected again.. sry
[17:46] <ihsw> hi, i installed postfix (sudo apt-get install postfix) but how do i make sure it's working properly
[17:46] <krazykrivda> escott: /dev/sda5 	/mnt/FILES 	vfat defaults,user,exec,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=002 0 0 (from my fstab)
[17:46] <krazykrivda> escott: what should it say instead?
[17:46] <AcidRain> i need a media player that will handle my huge archive of music. i need one that wont take more than 30sec to load. i need one that will monitor the music dir for changes
[17:46] <fosburg> When first installing 'Ubuntu' the desktop came up 'Unity'. after a couple days the desktop came up differently.  Over the next few days--Unity would reappear.  Now it is gone.  How can I get it back?
[17:46] <AcidRain> any suggestions?
[17:47] <edbian> fosburg: strange that it's switching on it's own.  Log out, click your name, change the session at the bottom, log in.
[17:47] <maujhsn> krazykrivda Can UUID help solve your mounting issue?
[17:47] <escott> krazykrivda, i dont get it at all. it looks perfectly fine
[17:48] <jstarcher> I'm settings up webdav on ubuntu and keep getting this error: Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
[17:48] <krazykrivda> escott: that's what most have been telling me.  and it WAS working.. and one day it stopped.. i had not made any changes to fstab in that time either.. i'm baffled
[17:48] <jstarcher> which user should own the report directory?
[17:48] <krazykrivda> maujhsn: I did try using the UUID instead.. i get the same results
[17:48] <ihsw> AcidRain: WINE + foobar2000?
[17:49] <fosburg> I'll try that
[17:49] <ihsw> AcidRain: Quod Libet might be good
[17:49] <gulzar> urgent....I downloaded a video from youtube and want to use it in ppt for my college presentation but libreoffice  is not saving the video even after adding it from insert menu. I think the problem is in the format. If so then which format should I use? Pitivi is installed. If not then how to do it?
[17:49] <ihsw> AcidRain: Quod Libet easily scales to libraries of thousands of songs. It also supports most of the features you expect from a modern media player, like Unicode support, multimedia keys, and tag editing. http://code.google.com/p/quodlibet/
[17:49] <kernelpanicker> I want install ubuntu on my laptop, then create a virtual win7 (for work reasons)... what's the best route for this?  Should I create the image off the restore partition on the laptop, or is there a way to use the ubuntu installer, then create an kvm image off the shrunk windows 7 partition, then delete that partition?
[17:49] <maujhsn> Krazykrivda Sorry!
[17:49] <meekwarrior> If i install a libary for C   could i just call it  with #include  <lib.c?
[17:50] <jrib> meekwarrior: ##c
[17:50] <swan> I think i have multiple modules associated with my wireless card... can someone explain the lsmod output to me
[17:50] <krazykrivda> maujhsn: any suggestiosn help because I am complete at a loss, and this renders my ubuntu setup useless if I cannot edit and create new files on this shared partition
[17:50] <escott> swan, !paste it
[17:50] <swan> here or in a private chat?
[17:51] <wols> swan: in a pastebin
[17:51] <AcidRain> ihsw, ill check this out thx
[17:51] <wols> kernelpanicker: neither is possible
[17:51] <kernelpanicker> yikes
[17:51] <kernelpanicker> really?
[17:51] <krazykrivda> hah wols do you ever leave?! ;-) and i still have yet to solve my mounting issue.. :-\
[17:52] <AcidRain> krazykrivda, whats your issue?
[17:52] <AcidRain> what drive you trying to mount?
[17:52] <kernelpanicker> wols: I do have a legit win7 license... am I going to have to go some heinous route with it all?
[17:52] <wols> kernelpanicker: restore from restore partition will overwrite your ubuntu and using the shrinked win7 partition in a VM won't work since the hardware will have changed too much (and kvm is the wrong thing to run virtualized windows anyways)
[17:52] <swan> ok heres the pastebin link
[17:52] <swan> http://pastebin.com/TtTQienH
[17:52] <swan> whats confusing me is
[17:53] <krazykrivda> AcidRain: i have partition fat on my hardrive that I've used for docuemnts/pictures etc.. it won't mount in a way that I can edit or add files
[17:53] <escott> kernelpanicker, windows checks the hardware and will notice that it changes going from real to virtual hardware.
[17:53] <kernelpanicker> wols: hmmm... well, they use kvm at the place I work, so I'll have to make it work...
[17:53] <kernelpanicker> escott: ok
[17:53] <AcidRain> krazykrivda, oooooo i know exactlly what you mean.
[17:53] <kernelpanicker> well... in order to run ubuntu, I'll have to figure something out... got to get windows in a box, though
[17:53] <wols> kernelpanicker: look at virtualbox instead
[17:53] <swan> the atl1c module is being used by 0 things but when i try removing the module i lose my wired connection
[17:53] <AcidRain> you can mount certain partitions under a single drive? lol
[17:54] <matrixa1> kernelpanicker, you install ubuntu alongside of win7, ubuntu can "move" the partition to make space for ext4
[17:54] <kernelpanicker> wols: what will virtualbox do over kvm (I'll have to convince my boss on why I don't want to use kvm?
[17:54] <matrixa1> kernelpanicker, i'd advise you to not virtualize win7 inside of ubuntu
[17:54] <maahes> anyone willing to take a look at these two error logs and tell me why I can't get cairocompmgr to build? I've already checked and I have the development headers installed for everything that ./configure asks for: Autogen: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660608/ configure: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660609/
[17:54] <wols> matrixa1: and why not?
[17:54] <gulzar> urlin2u: the prob is with lb
[17:55] <matrixa1> wols, because it lacks things like hardware 2D acceleration, and is quite buggy
[17:55] <wols> kernelpanicker: virtualbox integrates a lot lot better into your ubuntu. remember: you virtualize a desktop OS
[17:55] <gulzar> urlin2u: the recognised formats also cannot be saved....
[17:55] <escott> swan, that is th count of other modules that depend on that module, not devices that require it
[17:56] <wols> matrixa1: wrong on both. I run it just fine as a VM and it has full 2d Accel support
[17:56] <kernelpanicker> wols: ok.  I'm assuming one can only really virtualize a dektop OS, unless I were running some sort of hypervisor
[17:56] <matrixa1> wols, benchmarks will differ, and you know what I mean
[17:56] <maahes> hyperverisor is a vm
[17:56] <wols> matrixa1: of course it's slower but it will still run fine
[17:57] <maujhsn> krazykrivda I think that you will be able to solve your problem eventually! Why not consider booting from a liveCD  & using  persistence image temporarily?
[17:57] <wols> kernelpanicker: yes and no
[17:57] <wols> kernelpanicker: what do you need to run on windows?
[17:57] <swan> escott, thanks , now my next question, after running lshw and checking out my the driver associated with my network card, I think it's the wrong one
[17:58] <kernelpanicker> wols: It's to test stuff on windows, since that's partly what the company does... and I have to make sure it works,
[17:58] <wols> swan: which one? both look very much alright to me
[17:58] <escott> swan, you may need to blacklist a module in order to get the correct one to load
[17:58] <kernelpanicker> wols: we develop software
[17:58] <wols> kernelpanicker: test what?
[17:58] <kernelpanicker> wols: dll mods etc
[17:58] <wols> e.g if you need 3D support, you don't want to use a VM. if it's office productivity software it usually is no big problem
[17:59] <kernelpanicker> wols: I definitely, tragically, need a win7 vm if I want to work in ubuntu
[17:59] <urlin2u> gulzar, just to play the devils advocate, and I'm a 99% open source user. since your a college student you can get get W7 and the latest word if not word 2007 for less than 100$ US, thats what I did, since I had to turn papers in via the net and could not have their system see my computer to load them.
[17:59] <ubuntu> so anybody knows how to isntall bios  grub?
[17:59] <kernelpanicker> wols: I totally wouldn't even mess with win7 if I didn't have to
[17:59] <ubuntu> as i cant boot with it
[17:59] <krazykrivda> AcidRain: do u have a suggestion?
[17:59] <kernelpanicker> wols: and they're all into kvm, so I'm going to have to make it work, alas
[17:59] <AcidRain> my suggestion to you is to format the drive to an ext3
[18:00] <wols> ubuntu: you make no sese "install bios grub"
[18:00] <AcidRain> thats what i do with all of my new drives i get. first step i do
[18:00] <urlin2u> ubuntu, you can't put grub in the bios, it goes to the mbr
[18:00] <kernelpanicker> wols: sad to find out it'll be tough, but oh well
[18:00] <escott> ubuntu, assume you are the same ubuntu_ from earlier i think you will need to solve that problem and the fakeraid to get anything to work. do you know if grub will play nice with your fakeraid
[18:00] <AcidRain> i forget why, but there is something about linux that cant modify a fat file system. it can, but there are other special tools you need
[18:00] <ubuntu> yeah i am
[18:00] <AcidRain> and if you are like me, then they arent supported for your distro
[18:00] <krazykrivda> AcidRain: well I have over 150 gb of data on it w/an no way of backing it up atm
[18:00] <ubuntu> i dont know :/
[18:00] <AcidRain> krazykrivda, yes there is :)
[18:00] <ubuntu> i magicallyhave a uknown file system with the bios_grub flag
[18:01] <krazykrivda> AcidRain: this was working a week ago
[18:01] <wols> AcidRain: any linux for ~10 years by now can modify fat filesystems
[18:01] <AcidRain> lucky for you i have a public ftp server with<PHONE_NUMBER>0 GB
[18:01] <gulzar> urlin2u: not a paisa (cent) for WIDOW.... I have to do something else.... ummm lets see. I will one more day and google will surely rescue me. Its already 11:30pm here...pffff
[18:01] <escott> ubuntu, there isn't much point in working on one without a solution for the other. ask here or in #grub if grub2 will support fakeraid stripping with your chipset
[18:01] <ubuntu> okay
[18:02] <urlin2u> gulzar, just put the http address in libre
[18:02] <krazykrivda> AcidRain: Im tethered via my phone, w private personal/work files... that option is not really in
[18:02] <ubuntu> Does grub2 support fakerai stripping with x58 chipset?
[18:02] <gulzar> urlin2u: http for what\?
[18:02] <urlin2u> gulzar, youtube
[18:02] <swan> wols: atl1c is being used for my wireless card, but thats atheros and I think want to be using the realtek drivers for it
[18:02] <AcidRain> wols, then how would you mount a fat system for editing?
[18:02] <gulzar> urlin2u: the video is downloaded...its saved in /home
[18:03] <AcidRain> krazykrivda, hang on man. let me search a little
[18:03] <urlin2u> gulzar, I have sen my professor who is a geek do this in word even.
[18:03] <AcidRain> perhaps my knowledge is slightly off
[18:03] <gulzar> urlin2u: ummm OK then need some WINE for it
[18:03] <wols> AcidRain: mount -t vfat /dev/sdaX /mnt  done
[18:03] <urlin2u> gulzar, I think your making it harder than it needs to be, libre will open the youtube page with the http.
[18:04] <AcidRain> these are lies
[18:04] <wols> swan: lspci -nn
[18:04] <wols> swan: atheros makes wired chips too and realtek makes wireless cards as well. so you have the right drivers
[18:05] <gulzar> urlin2u: but the college PC is without net. I want the downloaded video to get saved with the ppt but it is not. I can add it play it save it but after saving the size of ppt is still same and when I open it the slide with video is blank without video....
[18:05] <swan> wols: 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8191SEvB Wireless LAN Controller [10ec:8172] (rev 10)
[18:06] <gulzar> urlin2u: is it possible to save the video with the ppt.... so to convert the enitre setup in flash. Pdf is OK but no video in it :(
[18:06] <urlin2u> gulzar, thats a bummer no net I see your predicament, I will open libre and see what I can do.
[18:06] <gulzar> urlin2u: please try. Play with different formats...
[18:07] <krazyk> escott: may I pm?
[18:07] <urlin2u> gulzar, is it presentation your using?
[18:07] <escott> krazyk, feel free, but i don't have any good ideas
[18:07] <diomidis> @escott I installed openssh on my live system, what should I do now
[18:07] <gulzar> urlin2u: sorry!!
[18:08] <krazyk> escott: ha ok then I wont b a bother
[18:08] <gulzar> urlin2u: means.....???
[18:08] <escott> diomidis, you should be able to ssh username@yourcomputersip and get access to the terminal
[18:08] <wols> swan: as you can plainly see. _wireless_ realtek chip
[18:08] <gulzar> urlin2u: its in .ppt format
[18:08] <wols> swan: and atl1 and atl2 are wired chips from atheros
[18:09] <diomidis> @escott it asks me for a password
[18:09] <swan> wols: right i went back and checked and the realtek drivers are indeed being used by the wireless
[18:09] <escott> diomidis, and that would be your normal password
[18:09] <swan> wols: the wireless still isn't working though, apparently this chip is not supported well
[18:09] <gulzar> urlin2u: there?
[18:09] <Guest10267> whenever i try to use ssb-sprom on a copy of my ssb-sprom file it gives me a corrupt input error, what is going on?
[18:10] <diomidis> @escott Permission denied. please try again
[18:10] <wols> swan: it isn't. it's supported from linux 3.0 onwards
[18:10] <joethetree> hi, i have removed many files with rm. somehow this hat no effect on the free disk space. how come?
[18:10] <urlin2u> gulzar, libre presentation I believe is the ppt maker, if your just saving a writer in ppt that may be oart of the problem.
[18:10] <joethetree> had*
[18:10] <Quagmire> Hello Guys, I have admitted defeat on fixing my corrupted 10.04 installation. Now I just want to install the 11.04, but I can't decipher my partitions. I saw 9.04, 10.04 and know that there is a version of Win XP on a partition also. I have no issues killing off 9.04 & the Win XP, but I figure out what is what. I have /dev/sda ---- /dev/sda1 (Type) ext4 ---- /dev/sda3/ (type) ext3 ---- /dev/sda5 (type) ext3 ---- /dev/sda6/ (Type) swap liste
[18:10] <escott> diomidis, are the username and ip correct?
[18:10] <gulzar> urlin2u: I am using presentation - Impress
[18:11] <diomidis> @escott ubuntu@localhost
[18:11] <escott> Quagmire, mount them in the livecd and verify what you think they are
[18:11] <Quagmire> But I CAN'T figure out what is what
[18:11] <gulzar> urlin2u: so what to do?
[18:11] <urlin2u> gulzar, are you seeing the icon on the pages for insert movies?
[18:11] <escott> diomidis, localhost is the computer you are on
[18:11] <Guest10267> how can i get ssb-sprom to properly read my ssb sprom chip?
[18:11] <moijkLin> is there any way to configure some ehrm. eyecandy on the 11.04 standard gui? resizing windows etc is a bit old fashion
[18:11] <swan> wols: is the 3.0 kernel released
[18:11] <swan> ?
[18:11] <escott> swan, yes
[18:12] <gulzar> urlin2u: yes its a big question mark ( the recognised format show a thumnail)....When in slide show the video is played but when saved , it is not. Not in any format.
[18:12] <escott> moijkLin, you could try and enable compiz
[18:12] <diomidis> @escott permision denied. is there a default password
[18:12] <diomidis> ?
[18:13] <moijkLin> escott: how? :)
[18:13] <intrader> mordof, KNUBBIG , I lost the thread and did no understand lol, but tickled both of you? my problem,my questions? what?
[18:13] <skutr34> can anyone please tell me if I edited my /etc/profile file properly for the Oracle JDK?  http://paste.ubuntu.com/660636/
[18:13] <escott> diomidis, i think you are confused about things. you have two computers right? im suggesting that you reboot the one with the bad monitor, and then ssh from the computer that works to the one with the bad monitor
[18:14] <escott> moijkLin, install ccsm and then try compiz --replace
[18:14] <gulzar> urlin2u: tried inserting from insert menu and with the slide layout
[18:14] <gulzar> urlin2u: ummmmm any thing?
[18:14] <escott> gulzar, are you sure that the video is supposed to be saved in the file.=
[18:15] <gulzar> urlin2u: I don't have much time...
[18:15] <StevenR> Aug  7 13:33:57 ford sshd[11851]: Invalid user oper from <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:15] <StevenR> Aug  7 13:33:57 ford sshd[11854]: input_userauth_request: invalid user oper
[18:15] <StevenR> damn. stupid touchpad. sorry
[18:15] <gulzar> escott: I want to do so. Is it possible?
[18:16] <escott> skutr34, you can put the export on the same line as the PATH definition. you also export JAVA_BIN but you dont define it
[18:16] <gulzar> urlin2u: anything?
[18:16] <diomidis> @escott right now I can connect from my netbook to the bad pc with ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>but I dont have access. You suggest me to rebbot to normal mode(not live, but the installed system)? I only installed open-ssh in live usb mode. I don't know what to do with chroot
[18:16] <urlin2u> gulzar, it looks like the flv format I'm getting from youtube doesn't work, but there are convertors, like handbrake and others but they take a while to do this.
[18:16] <escott> gulzar, i dont know, but i wouldn't be surprised if the normal behavior of the application is for the video to not be embedded but instead to be referenced by a relative path
[18:16] <skutr34> escott: I copied and pasted from a guide that isn't written very well at all
[18:17] <gulzar> urlin2u: yes. but even the recognised formats are not being saved
[18:17] <gulzar> escott: ummmm big prob..
[18:17] <gulzar> escott: urlin2u: need some WINE for this..
[18:18] <escott> diomidis, when someone tells you to do something like "install openssh inside the chroot" you need to do all those bits. you can't just ignore the parts you don't understand and hope it works. if you don't understand a part of the instructions ask
[18:18] <skutr34> escott: so I can put the all the exports on the same line as the PATH definition?
[18:18] <gulzar>  escott:  even link is not being formed
[18:18] <urlin2u> escott, I think your correct there the path to a video that can play.
[18:18] <Quagmire> Can someone help me? I did figure out which partition I want to format and then install 11.04 on, but what type of "Use as:" should I pick?
[18:18] <escott> skutr34, its just a style thing. you can say export VARIABLE=blahblahblah instead of two lines VARIABLE=blahblahblah; export VARIABLE
[18:18] <gulzar>  escott: urlin2u: I have to go. Thank You! meet tomorrow :)
[18:19] <liekkronoa> HEy guys, i was messing with my Compiz and I can't drag my windows, this includes it's position on screen and changing it's size. Any ideas on what to do?
[18:19] <diomidis> @escott i'm sorry if I upset you. I'm just 14 and I try to learn Linux. So, how do I do with chroot
[18:19] <escott> !chroot | diomidis
[18:20] <escott> diomidis, its also a way to install software on your real system when booting with the livecd (or to fix broken stuff in the real system by booting the livecd)
[18:20] <Guest10267> whenever i try to use ssb-sprom on a copy of my ssb-sprom file it gives me a corrupt input error, what is going on?
[18:20] <Spikestuff> Does Ubuntu log things entered in Terminal to a file on your system?
[18:20] <skutr34> escott: like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660640/
[18:20] <skutr34> ?
[18:21] <escott> diomidis, if you install openssh in your real system using a chroot it will be more convenient for you to access your system from the working computer, and you can experiment with the xorg.conf without rebooting
[18:21] <rumpe1> Spikestuff, usually only in ~/.bash_history
[18:21] <Spikestuff> rumpe1: Thanks.
[18:22] <escott> skutr34, sure. that seems reasonable. i dont know what JAVA_BIN is supposed to do, or if it is required
[18:22] <ack_syn> hi a friend of mine has updated his VB guest from 4.0.8 to 4.1.0 now the CLI's resolution is 480x320x8 and he can't change it. so now he can't use it. what can he do?
[18:22] <diomidis> @escott "Install the dchroot and debootstrap packages." I cant find the in the synaptic package manager
[18:22] <skutr34> escott: in the guide, it didn't have a definitionm
[18:23] <swan> is it safe to use the 3.0 kernel in ubuntu 11.04?
[18:23] <skutr34> escott: definition*
[18:23] <escott> liekkronoa, sounds like compiz crashed and you don't have a window manager working. if you can run metacity --replace
[18:23] <rumpe1> swan, no
[18:23] <ack_syn> I mean VB Guest Additions
[18:23] <skutr34> escott: I'm trying to install Java 7, and for some reason java -version comes out as 7, but javac -version comes out as 1.6.0_26
[18:23] <ack_syn> anyone?
[18:24] <urlin2u> ack_syn, does your friend have dkms installed
[18:24] <escott> diomidis, you don't want debbootstrap thats a rather unhelpful page beyond the basic definitions
[18:24] <ack_syn> urlin2u: I will ask
[18:25] <skutr34> escott: the people in ##java won't help, so I thought I would come here
[18:25] <ack_syn> urlin2u: yes he does, why?
[18:25] <Guest10267> why cant i modify my ssb-sprom chio with ssb-sprom
[18:25] <Guest10267> every time i try
[18:25] <Guest10267> it gives me a corrupt input error
[18:25] <diomidis> @escott I can't find dchroot to install it
[18:25] <urlin2u> ack_syn, the cli the terminal is the wrong size in the guest?
[18:25] <escott> skutr34, which javac will tell you what one is what
[18:25] <ack_syn> urlin2u: yes
[18:26] <escott> diomidis, im looking for some better docs. somebody has rewritten the help pages and removed all the useful stuff
[18:26] <urlin2u> ack_syn, whats the distri in open source you can change the cli sixe from the menu in it.
[18:27] <skutr34> escott: what do you mean? I just type: javac -version in the terminal and the output is: javac 1.6.0_26 but the output of 'java -version' is: 1.7.0
[18:28] <urlin2u> ack_syn, sorry for the misspelling, but the terminal if its ubuntu or another has a menu in the terminal to resize it
[18:28] <ack_syn> urlin2u: was it a question?
[18:28] <escott> skutr34, "which javac"
[18:28] <ack_syn> ok urlin2u
[18:29] <ack_syn> ty
[18:29] <M1_> Hello. I'm looking to install openjdk-7 on Ubuntu 10.04. Is there a way to get it from a repository?
[18:29] <urlin2u> ack_syn, hope that makes sense.
[18:29] <skutr34> escott: output: /usr/bin/javac
[18:29] <skegeek> Package management is the only total incompatibility for WebMin right?
[18:30] <skutr34> escott: my jdk seven is installed to usr/localjava
[18:30] <Guest10267> does ssb-sprom even work with broadcom STA drivers?
[18:30] <ack_syn> urlin2u: actually he is asking for cli size, not a terminal like xterm, etc
[18:31] <ack_syn> the problem is on the tty urlin2u
[18:31] <urlin2u> ack_syn, cli=terminal, do they mean the size of the VB altogether?
[18:31] <ack_syn> not the tty emulator
[18:31] <ack_syn> the size of the tty
[18:32] <escott> skutr34, the ls -l /usr/bin/javac and see if it is a symlink. you may need to play around with alternates
[18:32] <urlin2u> ack_syn, I guess I don't understand sorry.
[18:32] <Quagmire> guys I'm still trying to find someone who can help me get 110.04 installed on my laptop. I follow directions well, I just need some help.
[18:32] <no_face> Quagmire, what is the issue
[18:33] <urlin2u> Quagmire, wow thats from the future s it 11.04 or 10.04
[18:33] <intrader> mordof, KNUBBIG , I have tried http://www.webupd8.org/2010/12/get-ios4-mountsync-working-in-ubuntu.html. Rythmbox wanted to initialize my ipod, and I lost one tune I had on the ipod. The ipod does not show up in the left panel of Rythmbox. I am rebooting.
[18:33] <urlin2u> giggety giggety, ;)
[18:33] <Quagmire> no_face I want to format the partition that 10.04 was installd in
[18:33] <skutr34> escott: output: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 2011-07-23 11:25 /usr/bin/javac -> /etc/alternatives/javac  the usr/bin/javac is a cyan color which i think is a sym link
[18:34] <no_face> Format it during the next installation
[18:34] <urlin2u> no_face, you on this one
[18:34] <escott> diomidis, not sure why they removed the docs. if you want to pm me i can walk you through the chroot
[18:34] <no_face> i currently use 10.4
[18:34] <Quagmire> no_face it told me, No root file system is defined
[18:35] <urlin2u> Quagmire, make sure the mount is /
[18:35] <chenthu> how to find the mac address of my device?
[18:35] <escott> skutr34, you need to play around with update-alternatives then
[18:35] <escott> chenthu, ifconfig
[18:35] <no_face> Quagmire... if you want to clean the drive, remove all partitions and start over
[18:35] <chenthu> escott: thank you
[18:36] <Quagmire> I was going to leave information behind
[18:36] <urlin2u> Quagmire, are you trying to go from 10.04 to natty?
[18:36] <no_face> the information in your /home
[18:36] <Quagmire> and just format a section of the harddrive
[18:36] <azrad> i noob here, ubuntu 11.04; i'm having an issue where options on the frames of windows do not appear until they are maximized
[18:36] <no_face> when you installed 10.04 did you create seperate partitions?
[18:36] <urlin2u> azrad, have you modified compiz
[18:36] <krazyk> escott: would an ex3 partition work fine on windows?
[18:37] <wrongturn> no manual entry for part?
[18:37] <rumpe1> krazyk, not really
[18:37] <azrad> no urlin2u this is a pretty fresh install
[18:37] <no_face> ubuntu installs all into 1 partition
[18:37] <Quagmire> no_face it shows 9.04 and 10.04 installed. I was just going to reformat the section 10.04 was in and install to that partition
[18:38] <krazyk> What is the best partition type that will work fine w what both windows n ubuntu
[18:38] <urlin2u> azrad, so if I understand you the windows are not showing the top panel with the buttons unless you maximize tem?
[18:38] <escott> krazyk, there are drivers for ext3 in windows. not sure how well they work there are many more people using ntfs in ubuntu than ext3 in windows
[18:38] <urlin2u> *them
[18:38] <promithius> Hi! Does anyone know about the configuration file for init process in Ubuntu or Debian systems? Is it inittab like all the systems? Cause I don't see it in the /etc directory. Any idea?
[18:38] <azrad> urlin2u, yeah, like thinks l ike "view" "options" stuff like that
[18:38] <escott> !upstart | promithius
[18:38] <skutr34> escott: it typed: sudo update-alternatives --config javac and got: There is only one alternative in link group javac: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin/javac
[18:39] <skutr34> I typed *
[18:39] <swan> weird, i disabled WEP on the router and left it open,  now the wireless is working fine
[18:39] <escott> skutr34, you'll have to read the man page and see if you can force it to use your version
[18:39] <swan> hopefully WPA will work
[18:39] <urlin2u> azrad, have you installed the compiz config settings manager and changed anything?
[18:41] <azrad> urlin2u, i don't think so, i'm kind of a noob, i download this image, installed it, then did the software update, and installed a video driver, that is it
[18:41] <promithius> ubottu : Thanks for the help!
[18:41] <azrad> urlin2u, oh and i installed xchat :)
[18:41] <promithius> :)
[18:41] <urlin2u> azrad, try in the terminal compiz --replace and see if that fixes it.
[18:41] <krazyk> I just realized I may be able to repartition since I can do w /o some of the 115 gb of video I have
[18:42] <intrader> mordof,KNUBBIG, rebooting the ipod got the tune back showing. However Rythmbox does not show the ipod. An ipod touch icon appears on the desktop. It is a browsable view of the Ipod touch. Can I transfer music to it?
[18:43] <Rapa_> alguem ai usa OSX?
[18:44] <marw> hello. by laptop goes to hibernation, but after the start -- the system is restarted. any tips on how to solve this?
[18:44] <escott> !pr | Rapa_
[18:44] <escott> !br | Rapa_
[18:45] <urlin2u> marw, hibernate looks like a restart you might try suspend, hibernate takes as long as a restart.
[18:46] <marw> urlin2u: hibernate like restart? since when?
[18:47] <marw> i'm not suing battery, so i can't use suspend.
[18:47] <urlin2u> marw, I don't use it but as I remeber which could be faulty it looked like a restart, not sure really, I wouldn't use it for the time it takes.
[18:47] <urlin2u> marw, is it a desktop?
[18:48] <marw> well, it very important to me. i might have to give up ubuntu.
[18:48] <marw> urlin2u: no, laptop
[18:48] <urlin2u> marw, use what works for you  hope you can resolve it. ;)
[18:48] <chewy> night guys! Do you use your android phone as a mouse trackpad/keyboard? If so, what app would you recommend?
[18:49] <urlin2u> marw, is the swap partition the same size or bigger than your ram?
[18:52] <marw> urlin2u: i think i have exactly as ram. i should increase that (reading right now...)
[18:53] <needhelp1> could anyone tell me if an application that is not included in the USC is intentional because its not recommended or safe, im interested in handbrake
[18:53] <acicula> needhelp1: no not really
[18:55] <rww> needhelp1: handbrake isn't packaged because some of its dependencies have legal issues
[18:55] <acicula> needhelp1: its not packaged because there is either no maintainer or because of licensing issue
[18:55] <urlin2u> marw, you want at the least a equal swap to ram.
[18:55] <FreezingCold> holy crap
[18:55] <acicula> for handbrake id guess its licensing issues
[18:55] <FreezingCold> So many people have their routers WIDE OPEN
[18:55] <FreezingCold> I just port scanned my area
[18:55] <FreezingCold> I found tons of totally open telnet routers
[18:55] <rww> FreezingCold: perhaps you're looking for #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:55] <FreezingCold> oops
[18:55] <FreezingCold> my bad
[18:55] <FreezingCold> wrong chan
[18:55] <azrad> lol
[18:56] <edbian> ha
[18:56] <acicula> needhelp1: i think there is a special repo for handbrake though, did you look on the handbrake site?
[18:56] <W4RH4WK> hello, got a problem with the public key auth. concerning ssh (with user1 it's working, with user2, it's not, permissions are correct)
[18:56] <azrad> urlin2u, i ran the command "compiz --replace" you suggested in the terminal, its been running for about 5 mins... its that normal?
[18:56] <marw> urlin2u: thanks, i look how to increase it
[18:56] <acicula> azrad: it does not terminate
[18:57] <tripelb> re gedit, I really mind that I cant do bold in gedit. I want something simple, like mac textedit does much more than I'm asking for.  What is there??
[18:57] <acicula> azrad: you can run it in the background though
[18:57] <urlin2u> azard no did your screen do any changes.
[18:57] <needhelp1> acicula: yeah, im attempting to use arista, but its not working, so im considering handbrke

[19:01] <tiox> What file dictates whether or not a program can use sudo, and how can I edit it?
[19:01] <tripelb> needhelp1, for coding bold would be meaningless. Heh I did that 40 years ago. (really)
[19:01] <needhelp1> tripelb: if you search the USC for 'text editer' alot comes up, im only familure with vi and gedit though sorry
[19:02] <tripelb> needhelp1, thanks.
[19:02] <needhelp1> tripelb: no problem
[19:02] <tiox> For some reason, electricsheep requires sudo, even though it'[s just a screensaver, and I want to remove those permissions.
[19:02] <tripelb> needhelp1, what's the USC?
[19:02] <meekwarrior> can anyone tell me how to open a OVF file in vbox        ive read file>select filie but my vbox dose not have the option

[19:03] <needhelp1> anyone have any success with arista ?
[19:03] <przemo_rex> does anybody know how to change rewind time in Totem?
[19:03] <tripelb> needhelp1, oh. I dont do unity. I do 10.04... it works. I havent heard a reason to change but I havent asked for one either.
[19:03] <RetroMetro> no no..
[19:03] <RetroMetro> not 7 on ubuntu..
[19:03] <skutr3> ok
[19:03] <RetroMetro> : )
[19:03] <Polah> yeats: Can I just enter that as a single command?
[19:03] <yeats> Polah: do you understand what it's doing?
[19:04] <gadmin> no
[19:04] <needhelp1> tripelb: give it a test run, i love it
[19:04] <skutr3> RetroMetro: are you running 7 on any distro of linux?
[19:04] <yeshualooks> i have a question about ssh.
[19:04] <Polah> yeats: For each file that ends in .bsp, runs the bzip2 command for it
[19:04] <rogst> meekwarrior: Go to File ->Import appliance
[19:04] <edbian> yeshualooks: what is that question?
[19:04] <tripelb> what do you call a program that rings off in x minutes?  A timer? I want one.
[19:04] <meekwarrior> rogst i dont have FILE for somerason
[19:04] <yeats> Polah: yep - so yes - you can cd into the directory where the files are and give it a go

[19:04] <intrader> Anyone, upon installing software suggested by http://www.webupd8.org/2010/12/get-ios4-mountsync-working-in-ubuntu.html, rebooting the laptop and the  ipod Rythmbox wants to initialize the iPod.

[19:04] <intrader> sic. I think that something is still misconfigured.
[19:04] <RetroMetro> skutr3: )) , you got me, no.. : )) , pure win, I installed wubi
[19:05] <rogst> meekwarrior: do you have any menus ?
[19:05] <RetroMetro> installed wubi few days ago, weeks..
[19:05] <Polah> yeats: Thanks, I'll give it try once I've finished grabbing them
[19:05] <skutr3> RetroMetro: ok
[19:05] <meekwarrior> no rogst
[19:05] <yeats> Polah: sure ;-)
[19:05] <Ansuman> what is default path to django installation on ubuntu 11.04?
[19:05] <edbian> tripelb: Look at the 'at' command.
[19:05] <urlin2u> RetroMetro, watch out for grub updates don't do them in wubi
[19:05] <rogst> meekwarrior: try Ctrl + I
[19:05] <edbian> yeshualooks: Please keep it in the channel
[19:05] <tripelb> RetroMetro, warning. If you dont boot on the wubi none of the stuff you've stored is accessible.
[19:05] <yeshualooks> sorry
[19:05] <edbian> yeshualooks: Can you re-phrase your question?  I don't understand.
[19:05] <tripelb> edbian what's the at command??
[19:06] <yeshualooks> i was wondering how to echo the commands made by a remote terminal
[19:06] <tyoc213> how I can set system wide timeout connections because Im having problems with some connections that the data start coming after some minutes
[19:06] <skutr3> is anyone here running Java 7? preferably the JDK on natty?
[19:06] <yeshualooks> oh
[19:06] <tyoc213> more than 2
[19:06] <meekwarrior>  aweomse that worked, ty rogst, know why i dont have menus?
[19:06] <edbian> tripelb: It lets you say 'at 3:45 run this command'
[19:06] <RetroMetro> grubi updates, ok..
[19:06] <urlin2u> RetroMetro, they will overwrite the mbr, not a big deal if you know how to reload the MS bootloader to the mbr.
[19:07] <rogst> meekwarrior: have you tried to restart virtualbox ? anre you running Unity ?
[19:07] <LogicallyDashing> How do I get a 32-bit pixbuf loader installed in 64-bit Ubuntu? Apparently I need one to run certain 32-bit applications, but the instructions for installing one in Debian don't seem to apply.
[19:07] <arp> 6/
[19:07] <RetroMetro> urlin2u, uf : ))), what, will rewrite mbr...MS bootloader to mbr... I hope that will not happen to me. : ))
[19:07] <meekwarrior> rogst no i havent restated booted from fresh install and i dont think i have unity. fresh install of ubuntu aswell
[19:07] <yeshualooks> i have openssh server running on my host machine, and im logged into it via my mac. i also have a friend connected to it from his pc. i was wondering how i can see all the commands entered by the remote machines on the host machines terminal/console.
[19:08] <tripelb> edbian that's not an interval. I want to do 10 then 5 then 3. I dont care about the time. Only the interval. Calculating time differences from now to what I want is NOT what I want.  I will want to do interval after interval. And I care about half-minutes.
[19:08] <arp> logicallydashing, you probably need to install ia32-libs to start with

[19:08] <urlin2u> RetroMetro, you might want to get acquainted with this link.... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1639198
[19:08] <edbian> tripelb: 10 then 5 then 3?  Like 10:00 a.m. then 5:00 p.m. then 3:00 p.m. ?
[19:09] <rogst> meekwarrior: then I dont really know :( does menus in other apps work ?
[19:09] <yeshualooks> the commands + output
[19:09] <meekwarrior> is there anyway to make ubuntu feel like 10.4   i kinda hate this macesqe gui
[19:09] <RetroMetro> Maybe I want to be acquainted with that link, indeed, : )))
[19:09] <meekwarrior> yes rogst, not sure either ill toy around with it
[19:09] <urlin2u> RetroMetro, the grub updates in the wubi will overwrite the mbr, thats a glitch that should have been fixed long ago.
[19:09] <astraljava> meekwarrior: At gdm greeter, choose Ubuntu Classic session.
[19:10] <mASOUD_42> meekwarrior: log out, choose ubuntu classic at login from the drop down box
[19:10] <RetroMetro> I have copied it, thanks, will see it.
[19:10] <astraljava> Unless I missed something specific while I was away, that is...
[19:10] <tripelb> edbian I've asked before and only gotten a ring off at a clocktime answer. But for the record. how do I access the at command?  ----- no -language is a femaledog -  I mean 10 minutes 2 mins 2 mins 2 imns 3 mins 2 mins 5 mins.  like for an exercise forinstance
[19:10] <meekwarrior> cool, i thought it rolled it back, so its the same just diffrent interface? all my settings should stick?
[19:10] <urlin2u> RetroMetro, the only other thing is that wubi supprt is not very good so if you have problems you may have to have long waits.
[19:11] <needhelp1> anyone willing to help me with arista transcoder errors
[19:11] <edbian> tripelb: man at     I'm still not clear what you want.  A program that runs a command at 10minutes, then 2, then 2, then 2, then 3, then 3 ??
[19:12] <azrad> urlin2u, http://imagebin.org/166836
[19:12] <azrad> http://imagebin.org/166837   those are a pic of a "unmaximized" gedit window, and a maximized one... the menu appears in the maximized one, but not in the other
[19:12] <escott> tripelb, is atd installed and running?
[19:13] <astraljava> meekwarrior: What settings are you talking about?
[19:13] <RetroMetro> urlin2u: I don't think about support for now, Gradually I will go to change operating system that I am using... so I will see.. : )
[19:14] <urlin2u> RetroMetro, cool you can also move that wubu to a partition if you want to later on quite easily.
[19:15] <urlin2u> azrad, I see what you mean I have the same problem at times, but I have tweaked compiz to have the cube, there is also metacity --replace to use that desktop renderer.
[19:15] <yeshualooks> edbian: is what im looking for possible? a friend of mine said something about a log and print (as comments) based on who is getting/doing what... how can i get the commands sent from the remote ssh console to print to the host console?
[19:15] <RetroMetro> urlin2u: hm... why, it will be easier to change or do something later .... Hey, can I change wubi HD size once when I have installed it, I have 15GB I think, maybe I would need more, I don't know...
[19:16] <edbian> yeshualooks: you cannot watch what another user is doing (not that I know off).  Regardless of how they're logged, ssh local, or otherwise.
[19:16] <RetroMetro> : )
[19:17] <urlin2u> RetroMetro, I think the size is what it is. What hyou may not know is that wubi was designed for a try to see if you like ubuntu, with the inten to dual boot in the end.
[19:17] <edbian> yeshualooks: You could (possibly) watch all network traffic using tcpdump or wireshark and then pull out that user's packets (pertaining to ssh) and look at the data in the packets.
[19:17] <edbian> yeshualooks: This assumes you have root on either the clients machine or the ssh server
[19:17] <escott> edbian, that would be impressive given the encryption of ssh
[19:17] <thelala> alternatives to unity ?
[19:17] <urlin2u> RetroMetro, to be honest it takes a geek to maintasin it to keep working.
[19:17] <RetroMetro> urlin2u: I think I know that, but it seems to me that I could use wubi comfortably if I want...
[19:18] <urlin2u> RetroMetro, I'm not trying to talk you out of it, but just warning you of it's perils.
[19:18] <edbian> yeshualooks: also ssh is encrypted so you've have to get their key somehow and decrypt it.
[19:18] <edbian> escott: good point :)
[19:18] <RetroMetro> No, no.. I didn't even thought so..
[19:19] <thelala> alternatives to unity ?
[19:19] <edbian> yeshualooks: Also, editing the source code of the ssh server / client you could probably get it to dump everything they said
[19:19] <RetroMetro> I just told what's on my mind.
[19:19] <RetroMetro> I think I am quite satisfied
[19:19] <urlin2u> thelala, the classic desktop?
[19:19] <yeshualooks> edbian: ooo... i like that
[19:19] <przemo_rex> I want to configure totem rewind times but can't find anywhere the way how to do that. somebody help
[19:19] <escott> yeshualooks, logging the commands would be limited they could easily (and often would) spawn new shells that would hide their activity
[19:19] <RetroMetro> But it is good for me to know what is behind my next curve perhaps...  : )
[19:20] <RetroMetro> Thank You
[19:20] <edbian> yeshualooks: sure :)
[19:20] <azrad> urlin2u,  ok now i'm really in trouble, my gui seems to be jack up... is there a keyboard short cut to spawn a terminal?
[19:20] <urlin2u> RetroMetro, no problem it is a good setup but harder to run than a regular install, being that it is just a file ion windows.
[19:20] <yeshualooks> edbian: thanks :)
[19:21] <edbian> yeshualooks: sure
[19:21] <RetroMetro> urlin2u : Yes, I thought so. Like, when I become more selfcomfortable, I will make a step
[19:21] <escott> yeshualooks, the way to do this is to setup some kind of ld_preload around execve try http://sourceforge.net/projects/snoopylogger/
[19:21] <thelala> classic is not a
[19:21] <thelala> alternative
[19:21] <thelala> e
[19:21] <thelala> xD
[19:21] <edbian> yeshualooks: editing the source code to dump all the commands wouldn't be hard.  What will be hard is learning all the source code in the first place :)  I'm sure ssh is big
[19:21] <Polah> yeats: would that command you gave me compress each file linearly or all at once?
[19:21] <urlin2u> azrad, crtl-alt-f2will take you to a tty, just rebooting or logging out would, get you back the desktop.
[19:22] <osmosis> installing. Do I need an EFI partition??
[19:22] <azrad> urlin2u, ok doing that thanks
[19:22] <urlin2u> osmosis, for what?
[19:23] <yeshualooks> edbian: lol, i was just looking into the source for server. its all done in c/c++ right?
[19:23] <osmosis> urlin2u, im installing ubuntu. There is this new "EFI Partition" option that ive never seen before.
[19:23] <edbian> yeshualooks: I don't know.  Probably.
[19:23] <jschall> anyone have experience with how long it takes system76 to ship a laptop (gazelle professional)?
[19:23] <tiox> Nevermind, figured my problem out.
[19:23] <urlin2u> osmosis, is your computer a standard partitioned setup, thext type, or a apple computer.
[19:23] <escott> osmosis, the efi partition is for gpt/efi systems. it would be where the bootloaders for true efi systems would be placed
[19:23] <urlin2u> the ext
[19:24] <osmosis> I have a Samsung Series 9
[19:25] <tiox> sudo chown $USERNAME: /usr/bin/electricsheep && sudo chown $USERNAME: /home/$USERNAME/.electricsheep/*
[19:27] <urlin2u> osmosis, I think that computer has gpt partitioning see post 10 here ths poster is the expert on the forums in this area.  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1737086
[19:27] <Troy^> how does one get ubuntu to automount a windows drive on boot? and run a certain program?
[19:28] <osmosis> urlin2u, thx
[19:28] <edbian> Troy^: auto-mounting is /etc/fstab   running a program is System -> Preferences -> Startup
[19:28] <Troy^> ty
[19:28] <edbian> Troy^: sure
[19:28] <urlin2u> osmosis, I would seek that persons help.

[19:28] <LogicallyDashing> I'm on a 64 bit machine, and I need to run an application that expects the 32 bit gdk-pixbuf libraries. What should I do?
[19:29] <astraljava> tiox: Can't seem to find your problem nearby in the backscroll. What was it, that you had to chown a binary under /usr/bin ?
[19:30] <tiox> My problem was of low priority.
[19:30] <tiox> Basically, sudo was telling me I needed to use it to run electricsheep, I modified permissions, problem solved.

[19:34] <Troy^> edbian, does this look correct? /dev/sdb1   /media/Downloads   vfat   user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000   0   0
[19:34] <edbian> Troy^: not sure about fmask and dmask but yeah that looks good to me
[19:34] <astraljava> moes: No prob.

[19:34] <nakedsnakekid> hey im having some trouble getting backtrack to connect to the internet wirelessly. I can connect to a network and receive an IP address, but i dont have internet connectivity. I'm using wicd as my network manager.
[19:35] <edbian> not vfat :P
[19:35] <PauloRFP> algum brasileiro ?
[19:35] <cck4> good afternoon everyone. and sorry for broken English. (via google translate).
[19:35] <acicula> nakedsnakekid: try the backtrack channel?
[19:35] <cck4> Using Ubuntu 11.04 in Virtualbox: With the Guest Additions 4.0.8 the resolution 1920x1010x24 worked properly in tty. After I upgrade to the Guest Additions 4.1.0 the tty were with black screen or with a resolution of 480x320x8 (as shown in http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=43549)
[19:35] <cck4> Using vbetool vbemode September 865 (linked mode 1920x1010x24 resolution) resolves the issue. but switched to tty7 and then back to the tty [1 ... 6] back to black screen or the resolution of 480x320x8 (depending on the previous state of the tty)
[19:35] <FloodBot1> cck4: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:35] <Troy^> why the -3g edbian

[19:36] <skutr34> Hey, can someone help me install Java jdk 7 on ubuntu 11.04 please????
[19:36] <edbian> nakedsnakekid: It is.  But we don't provide support for it. :)
[19:36] <rww> nakedsnakekid: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu and official derivatives. Backtrack isn't an official derivative.
[19:36] <Troy^> its taking forever for mediatomb to add 13,000 songs lol

[19:49] <nezeroth> Let me pose a general computer question, I am trying to decide what to do. My computer has two PCIx16 slots and I have two Nvidia cards that are SLI.  The only factor is time, I am capable of all the above.
[19:50] <edbian> nezeroth: get a new power supply that can power your whole machine.
[19:50] <edbian> nezeroth: Do NOT jury-rig a split connection.  You will undervolt both cards
[19:50] <edbian> nezeroth: I don't know anything about electrical engineering.  I know you should not do that :P   Maybe take a fun out :)
[19:51] <nezeroth> that would have been option 4, edbian, I guess I should have mentioned money is an object too.
[19:51] <nezeroth> lol
[19:51] <edbian> nezeroth: :)  Take something out of your case you don't want to free up a power supply connector thingy
[19:51] <stevecoh1> I am trying to open a bug report for Ubuntu and the @#$%^& ubuntu-bug won't let me.  I am following the directions and after typing "ubuntu-bug 2158" (the pid of the process) I get "could not determine the package or source package name".
[19:51] <stevecoh1> How to make progress.
[19:52] <nezeroth> edbian, thats just the thing, I have a 640watt and it will do the split connection just fine since it is pure throughput, splitting a connection does not create as bad a loss of V and A as you would think
[19:53] <stevecoh1> This bug involves bad printing in Google Chrome (and no other apps) on ubuntu (and not windows) using a specific printer model.  Another user has reported the same thing.  I would like this to be investigated but the Ubuntu system seems determined to make me go away.
[19:53] <FreezingCold> Hey guys, how do I set Ubuntu to use my Tor proxy in the Terminal?
[19:53] <FreezingCold> I want to ssh to one of my boxes through Tor
[19:53] <nezeroth> edbian, just saying...but you still have a point, not to discount your thought.
[19:54] <edbian> nezeroth: Sounds like you know more about it than I do! :P
[19:54] <stevecoh1> Is the Ubuntu bug system designed to prevent bug reports from being written?
[19:54] <edbian> stevecoh1: No of course not.
[19:54] <FreezingCold> Hey guys, how do I set Ubuntu to use my Tor proxy in the Terminal?
[19:54] <PauloRFP> i don't play a counter strike 1.6 on ubuntu
[19:54] <edbian> stevecoh1: Why would anybody wanna prevent bug reports?
[19:54] <stevecoh1> OK, then, please tell me how to submit a bug report.
[19:54] <PauloRFP> help me
[19:55] <mongy> FreezingCold, set it as global proxy?

[19:55] <mongy> FreezingCold, not sure about terminal, only know about the gui method
[19:55] <alberto> ciao
[19:55] <stevecoh1> I can't get it to work.  I'm not stupid, this has been going on for months, and finally today, I get evidence that there is something going on somewhere (maybe google chrome, maybe footmatic driver, maybe something else and the system won't accept my input.
[19:55] <mongy> sorry
[19:56] <FreezingCold> mongy: I'm running ubuntu-server though
[19:56] <stevecoh1> I am trying to follow the instructions on the Reporting Bugs page and it isnt' working for me.
[19:56] <JZApples> Where does Evolution save all it's data and can this location be changed.
[19:56] <mongy> FreezingCold, there must be some paramter to set in interfaces file maybe.
[19:56] <PauloRFP> i don't play a counter strike 1.6 on ubuntu help me !!!

[19:56] <IdleOne> !it
[19:57] <FreezingCold> mongy: But how?
[19:57] <stevecoh1> Can you report a bug WITHOUT going through ubuntu-bug (aka Apport)?
[19:57] <aeon-ltd> PauloRFP: to play cs1.6 in ubuntu you need wine, ask in #winehq
[19:57] <IdleOne> stevecoh1: go directly to launchpad.net
[19:57] <stevecoh1> ok
[19:58] <IdleOne> Apport is buggy sometimes, ironic huh

[20:01] <astraljava> FreezingCold: No, for that you need corkscrew.

[20:02] <intrader> Anyone, iPod touch browsable view when I hover over an mp3 or m4a file the music plays - but once I move the cursor off the icon, music stops.
[20:02] <astraljava> FreezingCold: I don't think ssh knows how to use proxies, but if it does nowadays, then I just don't know about it.
[20:02] <astraljava> intrader: This has _what_ to do with ubuntu?
[20:03] <OmegaForte> intrader, That's how the preview function works. You preview it with a hover, and move on when you're done.
[20:04] <FreezingCold> astraljava: but it works on Windows...
[20:05] <jxajroad> Alo...boa tarde a todos! Alguém sabe me dizer porque o Ubuntu 10.04 costuma dar umas travas sem mais nem menos? Se tem alguma razão especial?

[20:07] <OmegaForte> intrader, Okay, then you need to install the mcereny ppa's. Hang on, I'll get them for you.
[20:08] <beanluc> Hi, what is a firewire disk drive in /dev ?
[20:08] <beanluc> what device name?
[20:08] <OmegaForte> beanluc, It'd be under Special Device (sd_)
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> beanluc: sudo fdisk -l      will show you
[20:09] <beanluc> OmegaForte thanks, if it's not detected do you have any advice?
[20:09] <StevenR> How do I reset my usb devices? I have lots of these in dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660693/  (rebooting is not an option)

[20:09] <astraljava> freeminds: Sorry, I'm thinking of an http proxy here.
[20:09] <OmegaForte> intrader, Install this PPA.

[20:09] <needhelp1> StevenR: mount and unmount them ?
[20:09] <StevenR> needhelp1: they're not harddisks

[20:10] <torllo> thx
[20:10] <intrader> OmegaForte, how do I install the PPA?
[20:10] <StevenR> ActionParsnip: they're DVB usb sticks and keyboard/mouse

[20:11] <freeminds> astraljava, no problem ;)
[20:11] <needhelp1> nezeroth: vbox
[20:11] <OmegaForte> intrader, Two ways. Easiest through ubuntu software center, open it, edit, software sources. Add it to the sources page.
[20:11] <nezeroth> needhelp1, dankechoein
[20:11] <johnnywlan> hi, is there a router software for ubuntu with or without webgui, that doesnt need you to edit iptables manually?

[20:11] <OmegaForte> !gr | nezeroth
[20:11] <StevenR> ActionParsnip: yes
[20:12] <OmegaForte> Wait, that wasn't right.
[20:12] <daxroc> Is there a tool where I can get a list of all packages installed and install them on a new box. Is it possible to create a deb file with a list of these dependancys or like ?
[20:12] <StevenR> ActionParsnip: what do you mean by "it" ? (there's 4 usb devices)
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> StevenR: ok and did you use the safetly remove option in the OS?
[20:12] <daxroc> dpkg --get-selections will give me the list of installed packages
[20:13] <beanluc> ActionParsnip, OmegaForte: thanks for your answers... so /dev/sda* is the only device apparent... I have 2 external firewire drives connected, powered on... any suggestions why I can't see 'em?
[20:13] <StevenR> ActionParsnip: where is this "safely remove option" ?
[20:13] <needhelp1> nezeroth: Bitteschön
[20:13] <StevenR> ActionParsnip: these are not storage devices
[20:13] <OmegaForte> beanluc, Uh, depends on the chip. I don't mess with hardware vulnerabilities myself, don't like firewire.
[20:14] <beanluc> generally? the only helpfiles I can find talk about mouting the fs once the device is recognized... so googling hasn't helped me
[20:15] <beanluc> as soon as I retrieve some data from these drives, I'll never use firewire again
[20:15] <StevenR> ActionParsnip: it's two tv tuners ("DVB usb sticks"), a keyboard and a mouse
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> StevenR: has it been in a windows system?
[20:15] <ActionParsnip> oh, not a storage device
[20:18] <intrader> OmegaForte, I have added to the source page, then what else do I need to do?

[20:19] <Matt-Kaludi> I searched on all over web
[20:19] <Matt-Kaludi> but i can't find
[20:19] <OmegaForte> intrader, Install ipeth libplist usbmuxd
[20:20] <Matt-Kaludi> I just migrated to ubuntu from Win7 yesterday,
[20:20] <Matt-Kaludi> Can someone please help me? There are no articles for this on web!
[20:20] <astraljava> Matt-Kaludi: Sorry, I wouldn't know. Unless someone else on the channel does, there's also the #libreoffice channel, that might give you an answer straight away.
[20:20] <Matt-Kaludi> Anyone?
[20:20] <OmegaForte> Matt-Kaludi, I bet there are, but ask your question.
[20:21] <r0z4> Hi  somebody can tell me is this normal of I need a driver ? http://imagebin.org/166838
[20:21] <StevenR> whee. restarting mythtv releases the DVB devices. *sigh*
[20:21] <OmegaForte> Matt-Kaludi, For unity?
[20:21] <intrader> OmegaForte, how please, I am confused.
[20:21] <Matt-Kaludi> Its not about libre office, I want to know how can i make a launcher of Libre Office writer
[20:22] <WarDekar> hey I'm having difficulties getting RSA/DSA keys to work to allow login without a password
[20:22] <Matt-Kaludi> OmegaForte - Yes for Unity, thanks for replying :)
[20:22] <OmegaForte> Matt-Kaludi, Wow, you need to make a launcher. Rightclick your desktop, and create launcher. Then...I don't mess with unity, sorry.
[20:22]  * StevenR did not expect mythtv to lock the usb subsystem quite like that
[20:22] <WarDekar> not really sure what the problem is, I've done keygen, I've put them in .ssh/authorized_keys and authorized_keys2, I've chmod-ed ~/.ssh and the authorized_keys
[20:22] <OmegaForte> Matt-Kaludi, I only work with real user interfaces, not ones for netbooks or cellphones.
[20:22] <OmegaForte> intrader, You don't know how to install packages in linux?
[20:23] <daxroc> WarDekar: and how are you trying to conect?
[20:23] <Matt-Kaludi> OmegaForte - But unity is available in 11.04 desktop, so.....
[20:23] <OmegaForte> Matt-Kaludi, But this page should work for you http://ubuntulife.wordpress.com/2011/04/14/mejorando-libreoffice-con-quicklist/
[20:23] <mattalexx> What's the difference between "adobe-flashplugin" and "flashplugin-installer" packages?
[20:23] <WarDekar> ssh user@host
[20:23] <OmegaForte> Matt-Kaludi, And is easily disabled.
[20:24]  * YankDownUnder thinks there should be a completely different channel JUST for Unity based questions...
[20:24] <intrader> OmegaForte, no idea - I have used apt-get.
[20:24] <JJiilles> Hey, I got ubuntu, there is just one thing that makes me wanna go back to windows: Photoshop
[20:24] <daxroc> WarDekar: ssh -i /path/to/private.key user@host
[20:24] <OmegaForte> intrader, That's how you do it.
[20:24] <Matt-Kaludi> OmegaForte thanks,
[20:24] <YankDownUnder> JJiilles, You can run Photoshop through WINE mate. If that's what you're missing...
[20:24] <Matt-Kaludi> JJiilles - I used to use WIn7 for photoshop but i dont do it anymore
[20:24] <WarDekar> daxroc: i know I've set it up in the past to where i can just do ssh user@host, how do i do that?
[20:24] <OmegaForte> Matt-Kaludi, And like I said; there probably was an article about it, and there was. No offense, but I'mma teach you something awesome. It's called man. Man unity opens the manual page for unity, and you'll be able to read about how alla this stuff works.
[20:24] <Matt-Kaludi> JJiilles - use the Wine
[20:25] <daxroc> WarDekar: your looking for a keychain
[20:25] <ActionParsnip> !appdb | JJiilles
[20:25] <intrader> OmegaForte,  sudo apt-get install package?
[20:26] <OmegaForte> intrader, Ding.
[20:26] <Matt-Kaludi> OmegaForte , But where can i get this man?
[20:26] <JJiilles> I know about wine
[20:26] <Polah_> If I'm using the command: wget -A vvd,vtf,vtx,mdl,phy <site>/fastdl/ttt/models, would that only download .vvd, .vtf, .vtx, .mdl and .phy files from /fastdl/ttt/models and lower?
[20:26] <JJiilles> but my photoshop doesn't work underr wine
[20:26] <JJiilles> when I open setup.exe
[20:27] <JJiilles> it initialises and the ndoes nothing
[20:27] <OmegaForte> Matt-Kaludi, Dude, just open terminal and type man package
[20:27] <OmegaForte> Matt-Kaludi, You want unity, so type man unity
[20:27] <daxroc> JJiilles: if your box is powerful enough and depending on you ps version try a virtualbox with windows. or settle for the gimp / inkscape
[20:27] <Matt-Kaludi> OmegaForte - I already have article you gave me, its for the LibreOffice, I want it for "Libre office writer" For one of the app from that bundle
[20:28] <Matt-Kaludi> OmegaForte - thanks, i will try that
[20:28] <OmegaForte> Matt-Kaludi, And you can't figure it out with what I gave you.
[20:28] <intrader> OmegaForte, it tell me unable to locate ipeth, and libplist
[20:28] <ActionParsnip> JJiilles: i'd ask in #winehq
[20:28] <OmegaForte> intrader, Type apt-get update
[20:29] <WarDekar> daxroc: ? I've tried this: http://www.ece.uci.edu/~chou/ssh-key.html and other sites have similar instructions, but it's not working
[20:29] <WarDekar> daxroc: i also tried the ssh -i thing and it still asked for pw
[20:29] <intrader> OmegaForte, still cant locate the two of them
[20:30] <stevecoh1> Thanks for the help about writing a bug - however - the good news is, that with the latest release of Google Chrome, which I just installed, the problem has finally been solved (after months of new versions making no impact).
[20:30] <daxroc> WarDekar: if its asking you for the password then your public key is not installed
[20:30] <yeats> WarDekar: you can do "ssh -v" or "ssh -vv" for debugging info
[20:31] <stevecoh1> I was in the middle of writing the bug report when I thought I'd give it one more try, and that seems to have taken care of the problem.  Whether the fix was in Google Chrome, or Ubuntu's distro of same, I'm not sure, but things are good.
[20:31] <ActionParsnip> WarDekar: don't forget the -C  option too (compression) ;)
[20:31] <daxroc> WarDekar: it needs to be in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file with permission 600
[20:31] <WarDekar> daxroc: isn't it installed when I do keygen?
[20:31] <Matt-Kaludi> omegaforte - See this article is for Gedit - http://askubuntu.com/questions/35488/list-of-custom-launchers-quicklists-for-unity/40299#40299
[20:31] <needhelp1> rsync -inu --stats --include '*/' --exclude '/.*'  /home/user/Downloads/ /media/seagate\ 2tb\ ext4/ |less
[20:31] <WarDekar> oh you mean installed on the other machine, i definitely did that
[20:31] <Polah> yeats: Are you still here?
[20:32]  * yeats always uses ssh-copy-id for that
[20:32] <yeats> Polah: yep - well, I'm back anyway
[20:32] <Matt-Kaludi> OmegaForte - I want same thing for Libre office writer,  I'm sure it can be done by changing few names, Can you just take a look at it? :)
[20:32] <Polah> yeats: For the command you gave me earlier, could I make it recurse into subdirectories?
[20:32] <daxroc> WarDekar: How did you get the public key over, and how did you create the authorized_keys file ?
[20:32] <intrader> OmegaForte, what should the sudo add-apt-repository repository be?
[20:32] <needhelp1> can anyone help me with this command
[20:32] <needhelp1> rsync -inu --stats --include '*/' --exclude '/.*'  /home/user/Downloads/ /media/seagate\ 2tb\ ext4/ |less
[20:33] <WarDekar> "cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub  | ssh user@host 'cat >> .ssh/authorized_keys'"
[20:33] <WarDekar> and i logged in with my password and chmod-ed it to make sure
[20:34] <WarDekar> and tried dsa, and authorized_keys2
[20:35] <daxroc> WarDekar: what does ssh -v -i tell you when you try connect
[20:36] <WarDekar> daxroc: these are the last few lines: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660710/
[20:36] <daxroc> WarDekar: all output please
[20:37] <daxroc> WarDekar: did you set a password on the key ?
[20:37] <yeats> Polah: you might want to investigate the 'find' command for that kind of thing - with that command, for each file that matches the parameters you give it, excecute a command
[20:37] <WarDekar> daxroc: http://paste.ubuntu.com/660712/
[20:37] <WarDekar> daxroc: no i left passphrase blank
[20:38] <Polah> yeats: Ah, thanks for the tip
[20:38] <yeats> Polah: do a web search for "find exec"
[20:38] <Matt-Kaludi> See this article is for Gedit -  http://bit.ly/pX1Z3a  I want same thing for Libre office writer,  I'm sure it can be done by changing few names, Can you just take a look at it? :)
[20:38] <Matt-Kaludi> Please help m
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> Matt-Kaludi: you need to edit the files in /usr/share/applications   in the same way
[20:39] <daxroc> WarDekar: are you sure that the public and private key match?
[20:40] <r0z4> Hi  somebody could tell me is this normal of I need a driver ? http://imagebin.org/166838
[20:40] <ActionParsnip> Matt-Kaludi: those commands will need to be prefixed with sudo (and gksudo for the gedit command)
[20:40] <Matt-Kaludi> Actionparsnip - Thanks for replying, i'm new to this whole thing,  Can you guide me a little?
[20:41] <WarDekar> daxroc: yeah? all I did was do ssh-keygen and copied it over
[20:41] <WarDekar> how would they not match
[20:41] <ActionParsnip> Matt-Kaludi: the guides shows you all you need to know, just read it
[20:41] <Matt-Kaludi> ok, hold on..
[20:41] <daxroc> WarDekar: where did you save the private key?
[20:41] <induz> hello
[20:41] <StevenR> ActionParsnip: mythtv was holding onto one of the DVB devices and locking the usb subsystem
[20:41] <mattalexx> I seem to have two clipboards. When I Ctrl+C something from Firefox, then go to the Terminal, I can either right-click > Paste to Shift+Ins and get two different copied string. What's going on there?
[20:42] <induz> How can i update my VirtualBox from 3 to 4 version on Ubuntu 10.4
[20:42] <WarDekar> daxroc: on local it was saved to the default, then i copied it to remote's ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> StevenR: nice find :)
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> induz: use the virtualbox ppa
[20:42] <magn3ts> Why does maven2 depend on gcj and jdk6? Why, oh why, oh why?
[20:42] <induz> how
[20:42] <Matt-Kaludi> ActionParsnip - you said ""prefixed with sudo (and gksudo for the gedit command)"" What does that means? I thought i have to replace gedit with libre Office viewer
[20:42] <ActionParsnip> induz: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[20:43] <StevenR> ActionParsnip: which means if I want to remove them or they break again, I'll need to stop mythtv first (which is a little rubbish, but it appears to be due to a bug in the kernel)
[20:43] <daxroc> WarDekar: there are two file created a public and a private key. you only copy one key ( the public ) to the target host.
[20:43] <magn3ts> induz, VB maintains different package names for VirtualBox major versions.
[20:43] <induz> I have alreaduy dowmloade .db version
[20:43] <magn3ts> induz, try `sudo apt-get install virtualbox-4.0`
[20:43] <italoxp> Is it possible to use Unity's globalmenu in Classic GNOME?
[20:43] <induz> .deb version ActionParsnip
[20:43] <magn3ts> actually, induz, make that virtualbox-4.1
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> induz: try reading down a few more lines, like the whole page
[20:43] <magn3ts> italoxp, yes, it's an applet you can add.
[20:43] <WarDekar> daxroc: okay well the private key is in the same place, just without the .pub
[20:43] <ActionParsnip> Matt-Kaludi: you just edit the desktop file in /usr/share/applications   and you can add any submenu items as you desire
[20:44] <WarDekar> i tried again from the start with using ssh-copy-id this time and still doing same thing
[20:44] <daxroc> WarDekar: and that place is ?
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> Matt-Kaludi: the files are owned by root so you will need gksudo gedit    to open the files you edit
[20:44] <induz> magn3ts, Couldn't find package virtualbox-4.1
[20:44] <yeats> induz: https://launchpad.net/~debfx/+archive/virtualbox
[20:44] <WarDekar> the default, ~/.ssh/id_rsa
[20:44] <magn3ts> induz, then you'll need to add the ppa or repo as listed on the page ActionParsnip sent you.
[20:44] <daxroc> why are you using rsa isn't that ssh v1 ?
[20:45] <WarDekar> well i've tried dsa as well
[20:45] <ActionParsnip> induz: if you add the virtualbox ppa, you can install using software centre as normal, the app will also update when the PPA gets updated
[20:45] <daxroc> WarDekar: Default ssh in ubuntu has v1 disabled iirc ?
[20:45] <WarDekar> daxroc: as I said I've tried DSA as well
[20:45] <magn3ts> ActionParsnip, they maintain different packages though, virtualbox-3.0, virtualbox-4.0, virtualbox-4.1, etc. They do not auto upgrade between major versions.
[20:46] <italoxp> magn3ts, yes, but it doesn't work like Unity's
[20:46] <italoxp> magn3ts, my experiences with it weren't good.
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: sure but if you have 4.1 and the version of 4.1 gets updated, the app will automatically be updated in regular updates
[20:46] <magn3ts> ActionParsnip, surely.
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: that's what I meant
[20:46] <magn3ts> italoxp, I don't know what you mean, they're almost identical except that it doesn't display the application name. I've never noticed any difference.
[20:46] <Matt-Kaludi> ActionParsnip - But the gedit software's name is gedit, what should i replace it when i use Libre Office writer?
[20:47] <magn3ts> ActionParsnip, I was just explaining since it sounds like he's on vb3 and rather confused.
[20:47] <daxroc> WarDekar: I suggest you remove all keys and including the authorized_keys rsa and 2 file and do ony the fist half of that guide you sent ( for version 2 )
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> Matt-Kaludi: edit the file in /usr/share/applications which you want to add the submenu to
[20:47] <WarDekar> daxroc: i've done that and it still doesn't work
[20:47] <daxroc> WarDekar: The private key needs 600 permissions too.
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> magn3ts: gotcha
[20:48] <daxroc> WarDekar: rsa is never going to work as that protocol is disabled by default .
[20:48] <Blade20> can someone please explain how "cut" works in a conky setting
[20:48] <induz> ActionParsnip, i am trying to add ppa
[20:48] <WarDekar> daxroc: alright well i've done what you suggest... gotten rid of the rsa keys, started with fresh authorized_keys, only used dsa, and it still does same thing
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> Matt-Kaludi: so you will need:  gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/libreoffice-writer.desktop
[20:48] <italoxp> magn3ts, Globalmenu is incompatible with some apps. And window doesn't merge with the bar when maximized.
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> induz: see what happens when you read more than 10 lines from a given link ;)
[20:49] <daxroc> WarDekar: logs , ssh -i -v ? any messages ?
[20:49] <italoxp> Btw, Unity's App Menu isn't compatible with Synaptic. Is it a known issue?
[20:49] <daxroc> WarDekar: try scp the public key
[20:50] <magn3ts> italoxp, that's not related to the global menu widget... that's a property of the unity top panel. So no, that will not work in Gnome2.
[20:50] <daxroc> WarDekar: do an md5 to check somethings not being lost in translation.
[20:50] <magn3ts> Also, the global menu is incompatible with the same apps that don't place their menus in the unity panel (eclipse, monodev, etc)
[20:50] <italoxp> magn3ts, that's sad. I'm dropping gnome-panel, so.
[20:50] <magn3ts> gnome-panel is very sad, yes.
[20:51] <WarDekar> daxroc: the debug output is the exact same as I gave you before
[20:51] <italoxp> magn3ts, it used to work well. But Unity concept and GNOME 3 concept are so intersting that GNOME-panel became boring.
[20:51] <induz> Couldn't find package virtualbox-4.0.1
[20:52] <`Kryten`> anyone have any experience with /var and /usr being moved to a USB drive?
[20:52] <magn3ts> induz, read the steps one by one and follow them to a T.
[20:52] <daxroc> WarDekar: Shouldn't be as it now should be an id_dsa ?
[20:52] <magn3ts> induz, or tell us what you've done, and what commands you're using.
[20:52] <WarDekar> well the only difference is id_rsa is now id_dsa
[20:52] <WarDekar> everything else is the same
[20:52] <induz> is it Debian based?/
[20:53] <WarDekar> and it checks blacklist.DSA instead of RSA of course
[20:53] <daxroc> WarDekar: and you have set the permissions on it to 600 ( the private key )
[20:53] <magn3ts> induz, is what debian based?
[20:53] <wyuka> is there a developer channel for wubi?
[20:53] <wyuka> where i can learn about how it works in detail?
[20:53] <WarDekar> daxroc: yes
[20:53] <wyuka> the docs were not clear enough to me..
[20:53] <induz> Ubuntu magn
[20:53] <WarDekar> all 3 files i have chmod 600
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> induz: did you run:  sudo apt-get update
[20:54] <magn3ts> induz, Ubuntu is debian based, yes.
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> induz: run:   apt-cache search virtualbox         after: sudo apt-get update
[20:56] <induz> ActionParsnip, it still 3.2 version.. its not updating
[20:56] <`Kryten`> I have some weirdness happening now that I've moved /home and /usr to a USB drive (as temporary measure of course).... the machine is booting and running perfectly, but suffers random hangs, and is not accessible by SSH (it's a headless machine) - almost seems as though the USB is timing out or somthing, and the machine is unable to remount, as the remount command is on the USB drive that is...
[20:56] <`Kryten`> ...not available - the only problem is that absolutely nothing shows up in the logs..... any ideas?
[20:56] <daxroc> WarDekar: Sorry can't help
[20:56] <induz> how can i add ppa?
[20:56] <magn3ts> induz, we can't help you if we don't know what steps you've followed.
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> induz: it won't. You need to remove that version and install the later version. Its a different app
[20:57] <daxroc> induz: google it
[20:57] <induz> ppa for virtual box on Ubuntu 10.4
[20:57] <magn3ts> induz, the instructions on that page are step-for-step, just follow them.
[20:57] <induz> ActionParsnip, if i remove my guest OS will be erased??
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> induz: no, the config isn't touched. It's stored in $HOME
[20:58] <magn3ts> Installing virtualbox-4.1 will automatically remove the old version. Either way, your machines won't be touched.
[20:58] <magn3ts> You need to get hte PPA added and then just install virtualbox-4.1 and all of this will sort itself out.
[20:58] <mattalexx> When I add a .xmodmap file and restart Gnome, it asks, "Would you like to load the modmap files?" It includes a "Do not show again" checkbox. When I check that box, where is that "do not show" flag being stored and can I set it manually from a bash script?
[20:59] <induz> ActionParsnip, How can i remove the old version
[20:59] <`Kryten`> I'm running 10.04.3 LTS...
[20:59] <intrader> OmegaForte, I hope that you can continue helping?
[20:59]  * magn3ts is wasting his time and effort if induz isn't going to listen
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> induz: same as any other package
[20:59] <OmegaForte> intrader, What? I forgot what was going on.
[21:00] <magn3ts> That's a rare sight.
[21:01] <intrader> OmegaForte, you suggested a ppa for loading 'ipeth libplist usbmuxd' - the first two I can't locate
[21:01] <klj613> how do i create a .tar.gz ? (from a folder)
[21:01] <ikonia> klj613: tar cvf $path/to/tarfile $directory/you/want/to/tar
[21:01] <magn3ts> klj613, you can use nautilus and right click -> Compress.
[21:02] <OmegaForte> intrader, What build are you running?
[21:02] <klj613> ty
[21:02] <intrader> OmegaForte, 10.10
[21:02] <OmegaForte> intrader, Time to update then.
[21:03] <OmegaForte> intrader, Those are built against CURRENT, no legacy
[21:03] <intrader> OmegaForte, do you mean, I need to upgrade to 11.04?
[21:05] <mk> how can I search for files on a mounted drive?
[21:05] <OmegaForte> intrader, Yeah. it'd be a good idea.
[21:06] <intrader> OmegaForte,  I have saved using 'Simple Backup'; how to I upgrade retaining my stuff?
[21:06] <mk> actually, how do I even search for a file in nautilus?
[21:07] <OmegaForte> intrader, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NattyUpgrades
[21:07] <mk> ctrl-f doesn't seem to search the current directory
[21:08] <magn3ts> Knowing nautilus, your expectations are too high.
[21:09] <mk> what should I use instead
[21:11] <astraljava> mk: Go menu, Search for files...
[21:11]  * MK`` shakes fist at mk
[21:12] <intrader> OmegaForte,  thanks I will read it.
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> mk: try beagle etc, I personally use find in lxterminal
[21:12] <mk> hey double-prime MK, I remember you
[21:13] <mk> astraljava: that seems equivalent to ctrl-f. I have a folder open with a subfolder called "foo". Searching for foo returns random files.
[21:13] <MK``> Heya; Question, is there a way I can reset plymouth to its original settings?
[21:13] <astraljava> mk: I'm sorry, I must have misunderstood your intentions.
[21:14] <mk> astraljava: what does go>find files do?
[21:14] <astraljava> mk: When you say "search the current directory", what is it that you're wanting to find?
[21:14] <MK``> (I'll wait until mk is done to avoid confusion heh)
[21:15] <astraljava> mk: It opens a search bar, into which you can type the search terms, and also specify where it looks into.
[21:15] <mk> astraljava: any file/dir, including subdirs, that are named "foo", or contain "foo", or where the contents of eg text files contain "foo"
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> MK``: try:  sudo update-alternatives –config default.plymouth
[21:16] <astraljava> mk: I think it does the first part (equivalent of `find' in terminal), but I don't think it does the latter (equivalent of `grep' in terminal).
[21:16] <sanya> heyho, if I try to change my resolution via xrandr it tells me it cannot get the size of gamma - anyone got any idea how to fix that?
[21:16] <astraljava> mk: I could be wrong about the latter, though.
[21:17] <mk> astraljava: alright, thanks. I'll probably download a tool or just use command line
[21:17] <MK``> Ever since I upgraded to 11.04, when the system is booting, it shows the Ubuntu splash screen at the wrong resolution, then the monitor sort of bugs out and stops rendering it. It works fine once the system has booted and X starts. If I press a button during the splash, it goes to the screen showing the commands (like starting GDM) normally, and if I press it again it goes back to a corrupted splash. How can I reset this? It operates (mostly) correctl
[21:17] <MK``> y as the system is shutting down.
[21:17] <yeats> MK``: nvidia card?
[21:18] <Arengorn> can anyone help me how to i isntal an tar.gz app?
[21:18] <MK``> no, intel graphics
[21:18] <yeats> ok ;-)
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> MK``: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/     may help
[21:18] <OmegaForte> Arengorn, unzip the tar.gz to a folder, cd to the folder, type ./configure
[21:19] <OmegaForte> Arengorn, then when that's done *Expect a wait* then type make, and expect a longer wait.
[21:19] <Arengorn> where ui do ./configure
[21:19] <OmegaForte> Arengorn, Read my instructions. All of them.
[21:19] <Arengorn> wtf is that cd im reading everywhere
[21:19] <Arengorn> im new at linux
[21:19] <OmegaForte> Arengorn, Okay so you don't know how to use terminal.
[21:20] <yeats> !compile | Arengorn
[21:20] <Arengorn> i tryed to star the bash but i cant find it
[21:20] <Arengorn> thx
[21:20] <MK``> I will check that out ActionParsnip since it describes all of my symptoms, thanks
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> Arengorn: what are you trying to achieve?
[21:21] <HB> how easy is to create a software raid 1 array in ubuntu 11.04 ?
[21:21] <Arengorn> flash playr and antvirus
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> Arengorn: I recommend you steer from compiling, there is AV in software centre (not that you need it) and there is flash in there too
[21:22]  * yeats agrees with ActionParsnip
[21:22] <OmegaForte> Arengorn, Parsnip is right.
[21:22] <Arengorn> where can i get the  build-essential package
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> Arengorn: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree clamav clamtk
[21:22] <ActionParsnip> Arengorn: software centre as well
[21:23] <yeats> Arengorn: better to get to know your system, then do some experiments with compiling from source
[21:23] <ActionParsnip> Arengorn: or in terminal:  sudo apt-get install build-essential
[21:23] <JZApples> Should this row be in my fstab file?  /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 none swap sw 0 0   I changed it to use the UUID but now it hangs on boot.
[21:24] <Arengorn> how do i star the terminal?
[21:25] <sanya> arengorn applications -> accessoires -> terminal
[21:28] <Fghtd> Does anyone know how to delete "rating" tag in QuodLibet player? They are displayed with lock, I cannot remove them.
[21:28] <Arengorn> when i start terminal and put the comand sudo apt-get install build-essential

[21:29] <Fghtd> accel_: you have no video acceleration with xinerama. Try noveau, maybe its better.
[21:29] <accel_> config 1 = 2 monitors; twinview. config 2 = 2 monitors, to separate X instances, xinerama, one screen rotated 90 degrees. Same hardware.

[21:30] <yeats> JZApples: if you undo the change you made, do it work again?
[21:30] <accel_> Fghtd: what? xinerama kills acceleration?
[21:30] <OmegaForte> accel_, On certain GPU configurations, yeah.
[21:30] <yeats> JZApples: (may need to boot with a live CD to do so)
[21:30] <JZApples> yeats, haven't tried that yet, but I would assume so.  What does /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 mean?
[21:30] <Arengorn> when i start terminal and put the comand sudo apt-get install build-essential it asks for my passwor but i cant type

[21:30] <sanya> i still can't get xrandr to force a resolution because of some problem with getting some gammavalue (TNT2, Samsung Sync Master 750p) - anyone got a solution?
[21:30] <Arengorn> it asks for my passwor but i cant type
[21:30] <gack> I've installed Ubuntu and it said it was successful. When I tried to restart it with the USB out nothing happened. I've reinstalled it and it's the same. Then I tried to run it in rescue mode by entering 'rescue' at the boot prompt screen. It didn't do anything. Rescue mode doesn't come up in my start up list when I try to start the computer with the USB in. Any ideas?
[21:30] <Arengorn>  when i start terminal and put the comand sudo apt-get install build-essential it asks for my passwor but i cant type
[21:30] <accel_> OmegaForte: do you have one of the two monitors rotated 90 degrees?
[21:31] <yeats> JZApples: sounds like an LVM partition, but I don't know ;-)
[21:31] <accel_> OmegaForte: the performance from twinview vs separte X (to rotate just one screen) is ahuge
[21:31] <JZApples> Arengorn, Just type the password and hit enter.  It won't display what you're typing but is accepting it.
[21:31] <astraljava> Arengorn: Are you sure? Cause it's just not showing you anything.
[21:31] <sanya> arengorn, type that password and press enter, u just don't get any feedback ...
[21:31] <Fghtd> Arengorn: You have been answered already. Type password and hit enter. You will not get feedback, it is normal.
[21:31] <Arengorn> worked :)
[21:32] <Fghtd> accel_: without video acceration, whole screen is HUGE framebuffer. It is not wonder if it is slow. Opensource drivers do have 2d and 3d acceleration.  Im not sure if nvidia proprietary driver provides any for xinerama configuration.
[21:33] <Fghtd> Does anyone know how to delete "rating" tag in QuodLibet player? They are displayed with lock, I cannot remove them.
[21:34] <stauff> i am afraid upgrading to ubuntu
[21:34] <stauff> because i use gnome and i dont want unity
[21:34] <italoxp> Guys, I'm trying to update my screenshots to Ubuntu One with Shutter. But it says that something must be installed.
[21:34] <Fghtd> stauff, you should be using backup hard drive anyway, what are you afraid of?
[21:34] <stauff> i am not masochistic and upgrade to 11.04
[21:34] <italoxp> stauff, you can use GNOME in 11.04
[21:35] <Fghtd> stauff: you can not remove unity afterwards?
[21:35] <italoxp> I'm doing it now
[21:35] <gack> I've installed Ubuntu and it said it was successful. When I tried to restart it with the USB out nothing happened. I've reinstalled it and it's the same. Then I tried to run it in rescue mode by entering 'rescue' at the boot prompt screen. It didn't do anything. Rescue mode doesn't come up in my start up list when I try to start the computer with the USB in. Any ideas?
[21:35] <stauff> if i do a dist upgrade i hope my ubuntu remains the same
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> stauff: unity isn't a desktop environment. It doesn't replace gnome
[21:35] <italoxp> Unity is just a shell
[21:35] <italoxp> Better, a compiz plugin.
[21:35] <yeats> stauff: why upgrade if you like your system the way it is?  just asking ;-)
[21:35] <stauff> i dont need all of those graphic gossip
[21:36]  * ActionParsnip is using Oneiric
[21:36] <italoxp> stauff, you're in Maverick?
[21:36] <accel_> so is it 1) separate X windows or 2) Xinerama that kills nvidia HW acceleration?
[21:36]  * italoxp is happy with his Natty + GNOME + AWN setup
[21:36] <stauff> yeah on maverick merdkat
[21:36]  * Fghtd is using Gentoo linux :P Freedom ftw.
[21:36] <Fghtd> anyone using QuodLibet? :/
[21:37]  * StevenR is on natty, lucid, oneiric and centos5, depending where you look
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> Oneiric + LXDE + Openbox    and when unity 2d gets fixed, unity 2d :)
[21:37] <stauff> is there a way to upgrade ubuntu with a savety copy?
[21:37] <italoxp> Upgrading with apt-get dist-upgrade will install the new programs that changed in Natty ?
[21:37] <italoxp> ActionParsnip, well, LXDE by default uses Openbox.
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> stauff: how do you mean savety
[21:38] <stauff> i need a rollback that works 100%
[21:38] <Fghtd> stauff: Buy backup drive and do 1:1 dd or rsync. This save you from troubles, any troubles. Not only on ubuntu.
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> italoxp: true but it can be compiz if I desire :)
[21:38] <italoxp> ActionParsnip, yes, but saying LXDE + Openbox is redundant. Just saying.
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> stauff: partimage can create a snapshot of the system partition
[21:39] <stauff> fascinating
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> italoxp: its not fully redundant.The WM is changable. I like to be clear
[21:39] <stauff> can i start partimage from a cd?
[21:39] <italoxp> ActionParsnip, it's the same is saying GNOME + Metacity. =D
[21:39] <Fghtd> stauff: any live distro can create snapshot. Provided it has dd installed.
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> italoxp: default is compiz ;)
[21:39] <italoxp> Fghtd, can dd make a compressed copy?
[21:40] <italoxp> ActionParsnip, where? On Ubuntu?
[21:40] <sanya> i can't use xrandr to force a resolution because of some problem with getting size of gamma (TNT2, Samsung Sync Master 750p) - anyone got a solution?
[21:40] <Fghtd> italoxp, not directly.
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> italoxp: yes, if 3D accelleration is available then compiz will run
[21:40] <stauff> no need compression
[21:40] <stauff> btrfs on the drive
[21:40] <stauff> so its already compressed
[21:40] <italoxp> ActionParsnip, well, that's right. Just checked and I'm running Compiz ._.
[21:41] <italoxp> God dammit, I thought that Classic Ubuntu used Metacity Composite
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> italoxp: see what I mean
[21:41] <italoxp> ActionParsnip, whatever, vanilla GNOME uses Metacity. Vanilla LXDE uses Openbox.
[21:41] <stauff> Partimage does not support ext4 or btrfs filesystems.
[21:41] <astraljava> italoxp: Aren't there two "Classics", one without effects, and one without?
[21:41] <italoxp> stauff, just use dd
[21:41] <stauff> so partimage sucks!
[21:41] <italoxp> astra05, yes, but I though the classic used metacity awith composite enabled
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> stauff: it doesn't suck, its just not suitable for your needs
[21:42] <Fghtd> italoxp, dd if=/dev/<your drive or partition here> bs=4K| gzip > /mnt/compressed_image.img.gz
[21:42] <stauff> so i better make a 1.:1 mirror
[21:42] <sublim211> hey all.  im a new guy to ubuntu.  what do people suggest to connect to irc?  im using pidgin just because it consolidates all my other chat programs into one. but any suggestions are greatly appreciated
[21:42] <Fghtd> stauff: why do you need partimage to support these systems?
[21:42] <italoxp> stauff, or compress it with the command
[21:42] <stauff>  dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc
[21:42] <italoxp> sublim21, I don't like Pidgin IRC myself. I'm using XCHat
[21:42] <Fghtd> stauff, partimage is just linux distro for specific goal.
[21:43] <sanya> sublim211 XChat, u can configure anything u like
[21:43] <italoxp> sublim21, you can find it on Ubuntu Software Center
[21:43] <sublim211> ok.  i'll check it out
[21:43] <Fghtd> sublim211, you can use pidgin too.
[21:43] <tiox> You're fine.
[21:43] <sublim211> sanya: (_|_) ?
[21:43] <italoxp> sublim21, or, if you are a command line guy, you can use irssi or weechat. But if you are a new guy, you won't want that.
[21:43] <tiox> Though, I do have issues with Pidgin that are a little more than skin-deep.
[21:43] <italoxp> Fghtd, actualy, he is using.
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> sublim211: I use pidgin here too :)
[21:44] <sanya> sublim211 ??
[21:44] <sublim211> sanya: sorry.  a good friend of mine is named sanya.  i thought you were her.  If you were, you'd understand what that meant :mp
[21:44] <Fghtd> italoxp, yeah, I know, hence suggesting there may be no need for extra application just for sporadic irc chat.
[21:45] <italoxp> Fghtd, I just can't stand Pidgin (or Empathy) for IRC
[21:45] <nullisnil> anyone here who grepped a longer line than 80 characters from w?
[21:45] <Fghtd> italoxp, see - you IRC a lot :P Thats not the case I suggested :D
[21:45] <coraxx> Here is a question I hope someone will help me with ... I'm running VirtualBox on a Ubuntu Server installation, with a vm started in headless mode ... how do I access the vm console ?
[21:46] <italoxp> Fghtd, yep... 20 channels is not a big number but it's impossible to manage with pidgin
[21:46] <italoxp> One thing I miss from Unity = Shortcuts
[21:46] <Fghtd> Damn, 1,5k people and no use uses QuodLibet
[21:46] <italoxp> Those Super + Number stuff to switch apps
[21:46] <Fghtd> no one*
[21:46] <wols> coraxx: you need a virtualbox version which allows rdp access. IIRC this means you need to get it from virtualbox.org and can't use the GPLed version
[21:46] <Tru3fate> can anyone help me im trying to setup my USB thumdrive for boot. im using multiboot but it wont see my thumbdrive. i format it to fat. the program cant see it but i can still access it. any ideas?
[21:47] <Fghtd> I guess I´ll have to manually delete all tags :(
[21:47] <stauff> Totals	  Usage 60.40%	 Free 8.16 Tib Used 12.66 TiB Size 20.95 TiB
[21:47] <sanya> and no one can help me with my problem of xrandr not being able to force a resolution :|
[21:47] <italoxp> Fghtd, I use Banshee. Just works.
[21:47] <italoxp> And I also use Empathy, and I know people who can't stand it.
[21:47] <italoxp> I don't see any difference between Empathy and Pidgin except the libs.
[21:47] <italoxp> And that Pidgin is less stable.
[21:47] <italoxp> Fghtd, just use MPD and enjoy
[21:48] <Fghtd> italoxp: Yeah, Quodlibet also, just works. And its not based on NO-NO. Its pretty awesome. But it writes <rating> tags that it refuses to delete. I just want to disallow him that. :)
[21:48] <Fghtd> italoxp: MPD cannot do things QL can.
[21:48] <stauff> so i got now 20TiB Space, i hope thats enough for a year
[21:48] <coraxx> wols: thanx for replying :-) ... yes I'm using the non-free version from VirtualBox.org's website ...and I'm having trouble with the RDP-part ...it doesn't seem to work.  Besides I'm running VirtualBox on a server, so I will have multiple vm's running ...and even tho I can't set up multiple port (besides the standard 3389), it doesn't matter as most system wont like it.
[21:48] <silvering> hi gius, i need GUI software for mounting filesystems (reiserFS) for gnome, i dont wont to mess manually with fstab, can someone help here?
[21:49] <coraxx> wols: *can't=can
[21:49] <italoxp> Fghtd, I don't understand the NO-NO point. Banshee never gave me problems.
[21:49] <Fghtd> italoxp: I dont like microsoft.
[21:49] <italoxp> Fghtd, MPD is just a server. Sonata is more powerful than you thing.
[21:49] <Fghtd> Using regular expressions to grep a playlist. Can sonata do that? :)
[21:50] <wols> coraxx: the other choice is to install a sshd in the client VM and connect through that
[21:50] <mattalexx> What's the best way to set Preferred Applications from the command line? Not just the very short list that you find in the Gnome menu, but all of them.
[21:50] <Fghtd> italoxp: Although, if I´d spend lot of time in terminal and on single machine, I´d use MPD no question.
[21:51] <newbuntguy> virtualbox4.1 giving me head ache
[21:51] <italoxp> Fghtd, never tested.
[21:51] <italoxp> silvering, fstab doesn't bite.
[21:51] <italoxp> silvering, if you add an incorrect line, it won't break. The partition won't be mounted. Just it.
[21:51] <italoxp> stauff, you have a lot of space.
[21:51] <gack> hey ppls, anyone have any advice for me? I tried installing ubuntu 11.04. Installation worked, but now it won't load when I restart. It says kernel not found when I try entering boot mode too.
[21:51] <italoxp> stauff, I wonder why
[21:51] <gack> rescue i mean
[21:51] <wols> mattalexx: what are "Preferred Applications"? you have a prompt where you can enter any binary name you want
[21:51] <italoxp> Fghtd, what does banshee have to do with Microsoft?
[21:51] <edbian> gack: Can you boot a liveCD ?
[21:51] <Fghtd> italoxp: I think his btrfs is too optimistic about how much it can compress :D
[21:52] <Fghtd> italoxp: MONO
[21:52] <coraxx> wols: that part I have already set up ...so the internal workings of the vm is accesible :-) ...however I would still like to have console access.  I have tried to do the 'ssh -X -C<EMAIL_ADDRESS>VirtualBox' which starts the VirtualBox client on a remote PC ...and it shows which machines a running, which is good...just can't access the console :-(
[21:52] <escott> mattalexx, you would have to use gconftool-2. use gconf-editor to determine what the keys are
[21:52] <italoxp> Mono and Microsoft? Really?
[21:52] <gack> edbian: i haven't tried, I just did it off a usb
[21:52] <italoxp> One good thing that Canonical could do is make Exaile the default. I like it.
[21:53] <edbian> gack: Boot the USB back up then (and choose try ubuntu).  Do you have raid or more than 1 hdd or anything quarky?)
[21:53] <italoxp> But installing it would waste disk space.
[21:53] <italoxp> And uninstalling Banshee would break the Sound menu.
[21:53] <gack> no. old computer. it just has a single hard drive.
[21:53] <sanya> is there any possibility to force a resolution that ubuntu does not recognize as possible apart from xrandr?
[21:53] <Fghtd> italoxp: yes.
[21:53] <italoxp> Fghtd, didn't know that .-
[21:53] <italoxp> -.-
[21:54] <escott> sanya, you can force a modeline with xrandr
[21:54] <italoxp> Guys on #fedora-social have been talking about movies since 3 PM. That was 3 hours ago.
[21:54] <escott> sanya, or you can directly modify the xorg.conf
[21:54] <newbuntguy> where do i need to go to find help with virtualbox,..
[21:54] <edbian> gack: ok.  Please use my name when talking to me
[21:54] <intrader> Oops, upgrade to 11.04 hanging on file 398 - what should I do?
[21:54] <urlin2u> so I have installed oneiric next to natty in a extended both have encrypted homes, it seems that once I booted to natty that the oneiric partition is now unknown, I switched the boot control to natty in the mbr, not a big deal but I'm a little confused I have not used encryption before.
[21:54] <sanya> escott tried xrandr ... it tells me that it failed to get size of gamma
[21:55] <gack> edbian: sorry, forgot to type it! I've tied installing it twice. same thing happened the second time.
[21:55] <coraxx> newbuntguy: do you have a specific question (I might be able to answer :) ) ?
[21:55] <Fghtd> italoxp, mono is reimplemetation of .net, based on open specs. The whole .net technology however is in hands of microsoft, including patents, design and implementation of extensions. Many .net applications usually break on mono. I see mono just as WINE. It is environiment to (try to) run something that won´t run natively.
[21:55] <stauff> intrader: restore your files and upgrade again
[21:55] <sanya> escott when i modify xorg.conf ubuntu won't start anymore - guess i made some mistake or something ...
[21:56] <Fghtd> italoxp: Using MONO-based music player for listening music is just same as using Win32-based music player in WINE. I dont need that :) But if you cannot resist, like say you cant live without winamp, its understandable.
[21:56] <newbuntguy> CORAX its something to do with Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)
[21:56] <sanya> escott i mean, i first have to create an xorg.conf as there is none and if i do and try to set it up ubuntu just won't start
[21:56] <intrader> stauff, can 'Simple Backup Restoration' do it?
[21:56] <edbian> gack: boot the liveUSB please :)
[21:56] <qin> Fghtd: Audaciuous (winamp like)
[21:56] <stauff> fghtd: i use foobar2000 with it, because winamp sucks
[21:57] <italoxp> Fghtd, it's just the default one. And it plays music. That's enough.
[21:57] <escott> sanya, forcing modelines is not something you should normally have to do, unless you are connected by an analog cable. you should use X -config to generate your initial xorg.conf
[21:57] <Fghtd> qin: heh, that was just an example.
[21:57] <italoxp> Fghtd, I just need something that can make a random playlsit with 100gb of music. Banshee does that. Period.
[21:57] <gack> edbian: does that mean select the 'run ubuntu from this usb'? I'm not very tech-savvy :)
[21:57] <italoxp> In Arch I use Audacious. It's small and does what I need.
[21:57] <stauff> random playlists, easy
[21:57] <escott> gack, yes
[21:57] <Fghtd> otaloxp: I have no problem with your own personal choices :) Mine are different though, I think its fine :)
[21:57] <italoxp> In Windows I use Aimp, that's like Audacious. Enough.
[21:57] <Fghtd> italoxp: I have no problem with your own personal choices :) Mine are different though, I think its fine :)
[21:57] <sanya> escott it's an old CRT without DVI ... but X -config in terminal?
[21:57] <gack> escott, thanks!
[21:57] <edbian> gack: yes
[21:58] <qin> Fghtd: but I also belive in non-mono solution...
[21:58] <osmosis> I am trying to install ubuntu, but the ubuntu installer doesnt see my windows7 volume. things the hd is all free space. I dont want to overwrite win7. How can I get the ubuntu installer to recognize it?
[21:58] <newbuntguy> coraxx: I can get it to work but i have to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup from terminal
[21:58] <edbian> gack: wanna PM (if it's easier to follow for you) ?
[21:58] <italoxp> Fghtd, dont need to double post when mispelling my nick ;)
[21:58] <Fghtd> qin: I dump mono altogether :)
[21:58] <italoxp> Fghtd, just use tab completition
[21:58] <Fghtd> italoxp: Sorry about that:)
[21:58] <stauff> just do a ls -r *.mp3 >>blah.pls and then randomize it
[21:58] <coraxx> newbuntguy: ok ...that usually means that there has been a kernel update....and you need to run the 'vboxdrv'
[21:58] <gack> edbian: sure. how do you do that?
[21:58] <coraxx> newbuntguy: (sorry you were a faster typer than me :) )
[21:58] <urlin2u> osmosis, since you have gpt i would get the help on the forum as I suggested, you can mess that computer up.
[21:59] <osmosis> urlin2u, whats GPT ?
[21:59] <newbuntguy> way faster
[21:59] <coraxx> newbuntguy: is there a problem in running it from the terminal ?
[21:59] <escott> sanya, Xorg -configure apparently it will put the file in the cwd and you need to copy to /etc
[21:59] <Fghtd> stauff: Hm, how about picking music from specific year, which is tagged as "5 stars" and which genre is electronic.
[21:59] <sanya> escott where's cwd?
[21:59] <newbuntguy> coraxx: im way faster than yo
[21:59] <italoxp> stauff, what -r argument stands for?
[21:59] <italoxp> My AWN bar is 22 pixels high because of space issues. I need my glasses.
[21:59] <italoxp> And they're dirty
[22:00] <Fghtd> stauff: But if you dont have huge music Db or you use filesystem to group music, then any player is pretty efficient.
[22:00] <escott> sanya, whatever your terminals working directory is (current working directory)
[22:00] <coraxx> newbuntguy: did you read my previous question ?
[22:00] <gack> edbian: ok, it's loaded up. what should I do now?
[22:00] <urlin2u> osmosis, it is a little different than a regular ext type and needs special treatment.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table
[22:00] <italoxp> Fghtd, using filesystem to group music. What?
[22:00] <qosis> Hi everyone. I recently swapped to Ubuntu on my laptop (HP Envy 14). It has both a discrete and an integrated card. The discrete card (Radeon) has a bunch of issues, so the only way to boot into Ubuntu is to set radeon.modeset=0 in my boot options. Once I disable the radeon in the boot options, vga_switcheroo disappears, so I have no way of powering down the discrete video card. Does anyone know any alternate way to prevent the discrete c
[22:00] <qosis> ard from consuming power?
[22:01] <edbian> gack: you need to mount you ubuntu / partition.
[22:01] <sanya> escott it tells me there is a fatal error because server is already active for display 0 :|
[22:01] <edbian> gack: Do you know how to do that?
[22:01] <Fghtd> italoxp: Yes, I mean keeping music within directories and stuff
[22:01] <escott> sanya, you could service gdm stop or you could try and run it on :1 but you need to run it from outside X
[22:01] <newbuntguy> /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup in terminal makes it work until for this session but not after reboot
[22:01] <escott> sanya, ctrl-alt-f1 over to a console
[22:01] <italoxp> Fghtd, oh right. Like Music/Artist/Album/.mp3 ?
[22:01] <gack> edbian: no. what do i do
[22:01] <urlin2u> osmosis, if I knew anything about it  would help. But I know enough to say follow that link I gave and that specific member at the UF, they are a expert with gpt.
[22:02] <coraxx> newbuntguy: strange ...which kernel are you currently running ?
[22:02] <italoxp> Fghtd, I do that. And 100gb is not a big collection.
[22:02] <Fghtd> italoxp: pretty much yeah. Again depends on your choice.
[22:02] <sanya> escott can i get the service to start again after i'm done without reboot?
[22:02] <italoxp> Fghtd, Banshee is having trouble scanning my library. God dammit.
[22:02] <Fghtd> italoxp: I use both. The music is stored within folders describing its origin and has itself tags which describe pretty much everything else.
[22:02] <edbian> gack: PM me :)
[22:02] <italoxp> Fghtd, how much mb's this Quodlibet
[22:02] <newbuntguy> 2.6.35-30
[22:03] <Fghtd> italoxp: dunno, few I guess.
[22:03] <stauff> fght i still wondr why you dont use foobar2000
[22:03] <Fghtd> stauff: why should I use foobar2k?
[22:03] <escott> sanya, service gdm start
[22:03] <stauff> because it runs very well with wine
[22:03] <Fghtd> stauff: I dont need wine to run music players :)
[22:03] <urlin2u> osmosis, good luck make sure you back up everything before you do any more.
[22:03] <sanya> escott thx, i'll try it :D
[22:04] <stauff> wine is not an emulator
[22:04] <qosis> Is there a way to power off a discrete video card? Disabling the module hasn't worked for me.
[22:04] <edbian> gack: You there?
[22:04] <Fghtd> stauff: QL does everything I need and that - fast
[22:04] <coraxx> newbuntguy: (maverick meerkat I presume) ...alright ...how many times have you tried running the 'vboxdrv setup' and the rebooted subsequently after ?
[22:04] <Fghtd> stauff: what?
[22:04] <stauff> well i didnt find anything faster then fb2k
[22:04] <newbuntguy> yesir
[22:04] <gack> edbian: yes. I don't know how to PM you. this is the first time I've done anything like this (ubuntu and chat rooms)
[22:04] <italoxp> I'd like to use Audacious in Windows ._.
[22:05] <edbian> gack: sure, no worries.  I sent you a message.  Look on the left (under the #ubuntu channel)
[22:05] <coraxx> newbuntguy: (remember to write who you are talking to :-) )
[22:05] <italoxp> AIMP2 is pretty good but... It's not like Audacious.
[22:05] <escott> qosis, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=66577 perhaps
[22:05] <Fghtd> stauff: I use wine to run fallout 2 and similar stuff that I need, but which has no equivalents or does not run with normal methods.
[22:05] <stauff> and i got 6TB of flacs
[22:05] <coraxx> wols: have you ever seen the VRDP server feature work in VirtualBox yourself ?
[22:06] <newbuntguy> a couple of few. but i have also uninstalled  the pae version
[22:06] <qosis> Is there a way to power off a discrete video card? Disabling the module hasn't worked for me.
[22:06] <escott> qosis, you may even be able to echo some text to /sys/devices/pci..../power/something
[22:07] <krazykrivda> wols: escott: just wanted to say somehow I managed to get my partition mounted properly.. I changed the fat32 partition to fat32 (lba 0x0c), and I used this in fstab: /dev/sda5	/mnt/FILES/ vfat 	iocharset=utf8,umask=000	0	0
[22:07] <edbian> qosis: plug the monitor into the othe video device
[22:07] <krazykrivda> escott: wols and than you for your time and help
[22:07] <diamonds> my english localization is messed up
[22:07] <diamonds> "Some of our favourites"
[22:07] <coraxx> newbuntguy: have you installed VirtualBox from a single downloaded .deb-file (from VirtualBox.org) or have you installed it from the repositories (either the virtualbox.org-reps or Ubuntu's own for the OSE-version) ?
[22:07] <astraljava> diamonds: en_GB, perhaps?
[22:07] <escott> krazykrivda, odd i wonder if it was the partition type flag or the iocharset that was the issue
[22:07] <qosis> edbian, it's a laptop, so there's no monitor to plug into a video device. Let me see if I can find the video card under devices
[22:07] <newbuntguy> .org
[22:07] <diamonds> is there really only one English localization? I bet Spanish has at least two...
[22:08] <edbian> qosis: Well then you likely can't turn the video card off :)
[22:08] <astraljava> diamonds: There are loads.
[22:08] <diamonds> astraljava: this is just the install screen... but I did pick english and note that i'm in boston, USA
[22:08] <wols> edbian: en_US, en_GB
[22:08] <coraxx> newbuntguy: (remember to write who you are talking to :-) )
[22:08] <edbian> wols: pardon me?
[22:08] <qosis> edbian: Ahh, darn :(
[22:08] <diamonds> edbian: he meant me :P
[22:08] <tiox> eNGLISH LOCALIZATION OF WHAT?
[22:08] <tiox> uBUNTU?
[22:08] <edbian> qosis: If it's a laptop it's probably hardwired into the motherboard
[22:08] <coraxx> newbuntguy: ok...but .deb or repos. ?
[22:08] <edbian> diamonds: :)
[22:08] <tiox> And caps. Fail.
[22:08] <krazykrivda> escott: I still have no idea how or what broke it.. but it is working for the time being.. of course after I shuffled the copied 150 gb onto my other partitions to prepare to format
[22:08] <wols> edbian: was for diamonds I guess
[22:08] <h4mz1d> Having some video issues, where dragging windows seems "jerky", kinda like drags, similar issue when scrolling up/down in chat & browsing internet... Any ideas?
[22:09] <diamonds> I think perhaps the install screens just aren't fully localized (?)
[22:09] <diamonds> (to en_GB vs en_US)
[22:09] <qosis> edbian: Using vga_Switcheroo, I can prevent it from getting power. I'm just trying to figure out a way to do it without vga_switcheroo
[22:09] <edbian> wols: hahaa
[22:09] <edbian> qosis: Oh really!  I think you know more than I do.
[22:09] <Fghtd> h4mz1d: your video card model, driver and distribution would be very viable information :)
[22:09] <newbuntguy> corax: from virtual.org  the right version for my ps
[22:10] <astraljava> diamonds: It's probably just that, it won't switch the strings according to which timezone you just selected.
[22:10] <sanya> escott thanks, now at least i do have an xorg.conf-file :D now the only trouble is ... what's the command for opening a file in terminal (cause i can only access it read-only without sudo)?
[22:10] <newbuntguy> corax: like i said it works fine i just have to do  the terminal vdrv thing
[22:10] <diamonds> must I change my localization later then?
[22:11] <diamonds> meh, I'll just wait and see
[22:11] <diamonds> see if it spellchecks civilisation
[22:11] <h4mz1d> the video card is Intel HD Graphics 3000 which i believe is integrated, its a thinkpad t420, and this is my first time on ubuntu so I am unsure what drivers im using
[22:11] <astraljava> diamonds: It's very easy, just go to the Language support manager.
[22:11] <newbuntguy> corax: but in gui hit start and thats when i get message
[22:12] <escott> sanya, thats an appropriate permission for it, you don't want just anyone messing with it. use gksudo $EDITOR xorg.conf to edit it
[22:12] <coraxx> newbuntguy: There are two option when you install from virtualbox.org ...you can either visit the download-section and download a certain version that matches your ubuntu ...OR ....you can add the virtualbox.org's repositories to your Ubuntu and thereby installing and maintaining it through there ...so for me to give you a solution, I will need to know which you have chosen ?
[22:12] <italoxp> Guys, which command should I use for ls also list subdirectories?
[22:12] <escott> h4mz1d, that will have built in drivers. is this a sandybridge or a bloomfield?
[22:13] <newbuntguy> corax: i take that back its only after i terminal and hit start in gui that it works
[22:13] <italoxp> stauff, do you know?
[22:13] <newbuntguy> ahh
[22:13] <h4mz1d> sandybridge
[22:13] <newbuntguy> corax: ahha
[22:13] <h4mz1d> all process on the computer run quickly, its only the video that is draggy
[22:14] <escott> h4mz1d, it will be better in 11.10. processor is too new to be well supported
[22:14] <tiox> Just for everyone's information, not sure how relevant this is, Ubuntu does have multiple English locales. Sometimes a Ubuntu installation goes wrong and misconfigures the locale of your machine.
[22:14] <coraxx> newbuntguy: I felt you had an AHA-Moment :-)  (I'm spelled with 2 X's)
[22:14] <diamonds> why is Evolution mail standard rather than Thunderbird?
[22:14] <h4mz1d> so a upgrade to 11.04 -> 11.10 would be helpful?
[22:14] <escott> diamonds, 11.10
[22:14] <diamonds> who thinks one is better? :p
[22:14] <newbuntguy> corax: I need the repository solution
[22:14] <diamonds> escott: oh that's a new change?
[22:14] <coraxx> newbuntguy: exactly :) (I'm still spelled with 2 X's)
[22:15] <escott> h4mz1d, 11.10 is still alpha and pretty rough around the edges, but it should be better, although everything else will be rocky
[22:15] <diamonds> I stopped using thunderbird on windows a while back cuz it was unstable but I assume it's improved (and runs better on linux...?)
[22:15] <h4mz1d> escott, i might hold off for a bit as it doesnt effect me too much -- thanks tho as I will certainly upgrade in the future
[22:15] <escott> diamonds, i believe its on the list of planned changes. you can always modify the preferred applications though
[22:15] <diamonds> escott: oh ok so tbird in, evolution out?
[22:16] <escott> diamonds, iirc
[22:16] <diamonds> escott: I know I can switch, I'm just taking the lay of the land... hopefully I'll just pick one and be happy :)
[22:16] <sanya> escott thx a lot already, hope i'll somehow manage from here on
[22:16] <newbuntguy> coraxx: we have voip so i have to go ill google it thanks for the help ill be back in an houre hopfully youl be here if not ok but thanks
[22:16] <coraxx> newbuntguy: you're welcome...good luck to u :-)
[22:17] <italoxp> I'm yet to mess with remastersys. It'd be nice to have I livecd in my way.
[22:17] <italoxp> Guys, uninstalling Banshee, Tomboy, Ubuntu One, Evolution Empathy and their respective leaves would mess something in the system?
[22:17] <italoxp> Oh, include Gwibber.
[22:18] <coraxx> wols: have you ever seen the VRDP server feature work in VirtualBox, yourself ?
[22:18] <samthewildone> how do I backup my bookmarks on firefo 5
[22:18] <Redb3ard> italoxp, what are you replacing banshee with?
[22:18] <italoxp> For example, Evolution, Empathy and Gwibber together make the messaging menu, right? Would remove them break it?
[22:18] <Redb3ard> italoxp, just out of curiosity
[22:18] <italoxp> Redb3ard, QuodLibet or Exaile. Haven't decided yet.
[22:18] <mlt-> is cpufreqd currently broken?  This is an emergency !
[22:19] <italoxp> Guake is lovely
[22:19] <samthewildone> I'm running 11.04
[22:19] <escott> samthewildone, bookmarks -> show all bookmarks -> export and import
[22:19] <mlt-> samthewildone: use builtin sync thing
[22:19] <OmegaForte> samitheberber, I highly doubt this is an emergency. And it's not a ubuntu issue. It's a firefox issue.
[22:19] <samthewildone> I did but that option is not highlighed
[22:20] <yeats> samthewildone: what's the larger issue that's making this an "emergency"?
[22:20] <mlt-> any1 is using cpufreqd?
[22:20] <escott> mlt-, a bunch of those things moved around. you may just want to echo your desired scheduler value into the appropriate /sys/devices/cpu/.../power/ file
[22:20] <OmegaForte> yeats, You know how it is; he may be late for his tanning session.  Otherwise I'm find with ondemand scheduler
[22:22] <accel> is there a command line tool that will take any pdf file and "embed" it in a 8.5x11 pdf file?
[22:22] <OmegaForte> coraxx, It's funny innit. Bet you twenty dollars it's true.
[22:22] <Redb3ard> italoxp, i've been using banshee for a while now and it's just too buggy for me.
[22:22] <italoxp> Redb3ard, well, it's crashing when trying to scan my library
[22:22] <diamonds> samthewildone: you tried this? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Exporting%20bookmarks%20to%20an%20HTML%20file
[22:22] <wols>  coraxx just did. worked fine
[22:22] <italoxp> Oh, wait. Not anymore.
[22:22] <italoxp> But cleaning the system would be nice.
[22:22] <mlt-> accel:  there are a bunch of stuff related to LaTeX that can do a lot of fancy stuff with pdfs from command line
[22:22] <coraxx> wols: damn :-) what's your secret buddy ?
[22:22] <italoxp> Good times when Rhythmbox was the default
[22:23] <samthewildone> Do you not understand ?
[22:23] <samthewildone> Here's a link of my problem
[22:23] <coraxx> wols: I have 'clicked it. ...I have 'typed it' ...and it got me nowhere :-(
[22:23] <samthewildone> http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/838526
[22:23] <OmegaForte> samitheberber, I don't think you HAVE a problem. And it's damn sure not a ubuntu Issue.
[22:23] <samthewildone> OmegaForte: :-|
[22:23] <samthewildone> OmegaForte: we already calling names eh ?
[22:23] <OmegaForte> samitheberber, OH crap sorry homes.
[22:24] <YankDownUnder> samthewildone, Um...and the reason you're not asking this in the #mozilla channel is....???
[22:24] <wols> coraxx: just enabled it in the vbox control panel and started the VM. then connected to the specified rdp port on the host computer
[22:24] <samthewildone> YankDownUnder: no because its more of a ubuntu problem than mozilla
[22:24] <OmegaForte> samthewildone, Dude, you don't have a problem. And I ain't called you names yet. So check yourself.
[22:24] <coraxx> wols: on the 'remote computer' I assumed you meant ;-)
[22:24] <samthewildone> OmegaForte: sorry
[22:24] <wols> coraxx: no, the host computer I mean
[22:24] <YankDownUnder> samthewildone, Um...yeah. Right. "BOOKMARKS => ORGANISE => EXPORT"
[22:25]  * samthewildone lowers his fake plastic gun
[22:25] <samthewildone> YankDownUnder:
[22:25] <wols> coraxx: the host on which vbox runs and which executes the client VM
[22:25] <samthewildone> YankDownUnder: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/838526
[22:25] <coraxx> wols: the host computer doesn't have XServer or any graphics libraries installed...its a server...an Ubuntu server....can't run Terminal Client on that
[22:25] <wols> coraxx: it doesn't matter. it has a network connection
[22:26] <wols> coraxx: you don't run the rdp client there, you point your rdp client to it.
[22:26] <CoJaBo> Why would I be getting a "permission denied" error on a local mounted NTFS disk, as root?
[22:26] <CoJaBo> Is there a way to show more info?
[22:26] <coraxx> wols: sorry I misread...you wrote 'on to the host' ...I read it as 'on the host connect to it'
[22:27] <YankDownUnder> samthewildone, I'm using FF5...."Show all bookmarks => Import and Backup => Export HTML
[22:27] <samthewildone> YankDownUnder: let me check my friend !
[22:27] <samthewildone> :-D
[22:27] <coraxx> wols: I know ... (don't worry, I'm an IT guy ..trust the server/client relationship is a prerequitsite for this job ;-)
[22:27] <coraxx> wols: *trust me
[22:28] <samthewildone> There is no other options @ the top
[22:28] <samthewildone> Just two arrows ... left / right
[22:28] <OmegaForte> samthewildone, There should be a manual backup function in the bookmarks manager.
[22:28] <samthewildone> Nope
[22:28] <samthewildone> OmegaForte: that's what I'm trying to stress
[22:29] <samthewildone> There is no other options
[22:29] <OmegaForte> samthewildone, Then you broke it; and I attest that this is not a UBUNTU issue; and doesn't belong here.
[22:29] <samthewildone> OmegaForte: Don't tell what I did
[22:29] <samthewildone> I just installed Ubuntu
[22:29] <AcidRain> lol he broke it
[22:29] <YankDownUnder> samthewildone, Then it's either a FONT issue or you're using Unity. Either which, the font issue is usually fixable quickly. Unity?  Good boy.
[22:31] <samthewildone> lol
[22:31] <samthewildone> im the programmer he's the hardware / network guy
[22:31] <samthewildone> But this really troubled us
[22:32] <YankDownUnder> samthewildone, Then buy him a case of beer.
[22:32] <samthewildone> especially me... I was like what the !
[22:32] <samthewildone> lol
[22:33] <YankDownUnder> samthewildone, Look mate, in all reality, Unity is still in it's infant stages, and it was meant for netbooks, not for desktops. Bad decision to push it to the public the way it was pushed. If I was y'all, I'd think about removing it all together - in order to keep a consistent usability environment, mate.
[22:33] <samthewildone> YankDownUnder: Interesting...
[22:33] <YankDownUnder> samthewildone, Just the facts, Jack.
[22:34] <Bananasdoom> can somone tell me how to use a .tar file. I want to install an old version of flash on a ppc computer and the only fomat that i can find is a .tar no deb :(
[22:34] <samthewildone> yup
[22:35] <diamonds> lol ubuntu makes a noise on startup
[22:36] <diamonds> lion king up in this b.
[22:36] <Bananasdoom> i have a power book g4 and it makes the mac noise then the ubuntu one
[22:36] <YankDownUnder> diamonds, I make noises when I start up every morning....AND?
[22:36] <mranima> Lol
[22:37] <szal> lol
[22:37] <Bananasdoom> so can anone point me in right direction for installing a .tar
[22:37] <ys0> hi
[22:37] <YankDownUnder> Bananasdoom, tar -xvzf filename.tar
[22:38] <szal> Bananasdoom: unpack & follow included instructions
[22:38] <ys0> how i can disable the hotkey "shift+numpad"?
[22:38] <AcidRain> what can ubuntu do about bad teeth?
[22:38] <Bananasdoom> is that the same for a tar.gz
[22:38] <YankDownUnder> AcidRain, man toothbrush
[22:38] <ys0> i need to select lines with shift + end and it is very annoying when i code
[22:38] <AcidRain> and i am offended that ubuntu is considered a mispelled word in xchat
[22:38] <diamonds> sorry for the newb question but what's cut and paste?
[22:38] <coraxx> Bananasdoom: tar -xvf  (don't use the Z...its only for tar.gz files)
[22:39] <AcidRain> diamonds, wow
[22:39] <AcidRain> lol
[22:39] <diamonds> AcidRain: well...
[22:39] <diamonds> ^a is select all but ^c and ^v don't seem to work...
[22:39] <AcidRain> nah im not making fun of you im just saying, if u made it to #ubuntu, then cut and paste is crazyt
[22:39] <AcidRain> oh. i dont think there is a shortkey for cut
[22:40] <diamonds> stfu
[22:40] <diamonds> you're kidding, right?
[22:40] <diamonds> how about copy?
[22:40] <ys0> can i disable shift + numpad in some ways?
[22:40] <IdleOne> !language | diamonds
[22:40] <AcidRain> Ctrl + X
[22:41] <AcidRain> ^x = cut
[22:41] <diamonds> I must have a keybord issue...
[22:41] <diamonds> I get 00:18 (hex) for ^x
[22:41] <diamonds> and 00:16 for ^v
[22:42] <AcidRain> what about ^c?
[22:42] <AcidRain> may have to do something witht he keyboard layout. honestly have no clue
[22:42] <AcidRain> just a slight possibility
[22:42] <diamonds> 00:03
[22:43] <AcidRain> that is odd
[22:43] <diamonds> ^a works fine
[22:43] <samthewildone> Thanks guys it worked
[22:43] <ys0> can i disable the hotkey shift+numpad
[22:43] <samthewildone> Everything was backup
