[18:13] <ibrahim-kasem> abhijit, is it okay now ?

[18:15] <Knifas> now it doesnt even let me type
[18:15] <ibrahim-kasem> neyo, copied and pasted it
[18:15] <ChogyDan> Knifas: are you holding f2 as you turn the power on?

[18:18] <Gnea> lampuser: what is the URL?
[18:19] <rww> to actually answer the question, "mactime -b -" should sit there doing nothing, because -b takes a file as an option, and - means stdin, so it'd sit there waiting for input :\
[18:19] <Knifas_> i'm back
[18:19] <lampuser> http://computer-forensics.sans.org/community/papers/forensic-analysis-image_193
[18:19] <lampuser> rww:

[18:20] <lampuser> that is half command
[18:20] <lampuser> the full is

[18:20] <GothCC> anyone here install UNR 10.04 to a Lenovo IdeaPad S10e? Never had UNR not recognize the touchpad before... any suggestions
[18:21] <kisplit> rww: I'm sorry to bother you again, you just seem to know so much about this =P: When I whois myself it shows my actual hostname. Can everyone else see this?
[18:21] <ikonia> lampuser: mactime is part of sluethkit which is not part of ubuntu, so I'm not sure why you are asking in here
[18:21] <lampuser> fls f fat16 m / part1.img | mactime b  > timeline.mactime.out
[18:21] <sacarlson> Knifas_: I knew you could do it
[18:21] <ikonia> kisplit: hostname is the command
[18:21] <rww> kisplit: yes
[18:21] <rww> ubottu: cloak | kisplit
[18:21] <ikonia> lampuser: this isn't really anything to do with ubuntu
[18:21] <lampuser> ok
[18:21] <Knifas_> thx
[18:21] <lampuser> I was just asking
[18:21] <kisplit> Ah thanks :p
[18:21] <lampuser> as in linux
[18:22] <tyroPod> I've been told that using a variable voltage regulator controlled by a varipot to make a pc pwr supply a bench power supply is a bad idea because it's noisy. can't a descending collection of parallel capacitors correct this?
[18:22] <ikonia> lampuser: this channels for ubuntu only really.
[18:22] <rww> ubottu: ot | tyroPod
[18:22] <Knifas_> i had to press a little button inside a hole at the bottom of my computer

[18:23] <Dj_FlyBy> has anyone here used UNR 10.04 on a Lenovo ideapad S10e? This is the first time I have had UNR not recognize the touchpad.... any suggestions please?
[18:25] <paldives> what command is there to see how long it has been since any user input?
[18:25] <ikonia> paldives: there isn't one really, if you do a "last" you can see when you logged in and idle
[18:25] <dajhorn> paldives: `w` will show you console idle time.
[18:25] <ikonia> dajhorn: that's not shell idle is it ?
[18:26] <ikonia> I thought that was process idle
[18:26] <Dj_FlyBy> has anyone here used UNR 10.04 on a Lenovo ideapad S10e? This is the first time I have had UNR not recognize the touchpad.... any suggestions please?
[18:26] <paldives> :/ oh ok just curious but how does it know when to lock the screen after x amount of time?
[18:26] <lelle> i have wireless connection, thats atleast what the network manager tells me, but i can access the internet..
[18:26] <lelle> any fix?
[18:27] <Knifas> i'm here
[18:27] <sacarlson> paldives: there must be some lib that does that key thing or how would my skype know I was idle and indicate it?
[18:27] <dajhorn> ikonia: The IDLE column is time since the last user command.
[18:27] <paldives> ah ok thanks sacarlson
[18:27] <BluesKaj> lelle, so cannot access the internet wirelessly ?
[18:28] <ikonia> dajhorn: then why is my gnome-session process showing 9:37 idle when I'm using it ?
[18:28] <mnbv0987> i just installed ubuntu 10.04 and i want to make some modifications to the grub2 menu. if i edit/rename the files in /etc/grub.d, do i run the risk of breaking any automated update scripts or anything in the future?
[18:28] <mnbv0987> or can i just go to town on them?
[18:28] <lelle> blueskaj yep, cannot
[18:28] <Gansudo> hi, i tried "sudo <mynick>", and when it asks for my password on the terminal, i cant write anything

[18:28] <Guest83035> hi
[18:28] <dury> SAHOO
[18:28] <rww> Gansudo: sudo doesn't echo passwords to the screen by default
[18:28] <aeon-ltd> mnbv0987: yes but thats why you use copies of the files
[18:28] <lelle> blueskaj but i have set up a wireless connect with wpa password and such, gateway etc
[18:28] <abli> Hi! I upgraded a server from hardy to lucid, and now some pages that use php want to be downloaded instead of viewed in the browser. Any idea what might have gone wrong and what should I check?
[18:28] <erUSUL> Gansudo: you can type. but the terminal does not echo what you type
[18:28] <pierreghz> Gansudo: As all programs do
[18:28] <rww> Gansudo: "sudo mynick" isn't going to do anything, though. the argument to "sudo" is a command, not your nickname
[18:29] <Guest83035> India
[18:29] <dajhorn> ikonia: The utmp/wtmp is used to compute the idle time.  CPU idle times for users would be pointlessly large.
[18:29] <Knifas> i'm in my bios setup utility, what should i do now?
[18:29] <ikonia> dajhorn: interesting
[18:29] <Gansudo> thanks, i was typing my password wrong :$
[18:29] <mnbv0987> aeon-ltd: so you recommend backup -> edit as i see fit -> restore backups if i get some update errors some day?
[18:29] <sacarlson> mnbv0987: you can modify /etc/grub.d/40costom  it's safe it's way at the botom when you pick

[18:29] <dajhorn> ikonia: Notice how you'll get a new utmp entry if you run a login gnome-terminal.  The X pty won't increment.
[18:30] <aleron> can you please help me
[18:30] <aeon-ltd> mnbv0987: yes, but put back ups on usb, so you can boot into a live environment and move then back
[18:30] <andyn> aleron: yeah, but it's pretty much useless because you cannot inject.
[18:30] <ikonia> dajhorn: I see what you're saying
[18:30] <abhijit> aleron, ask in ##windows
[18:30] <Slart> aleron: this is ubuntu, for ubuntu support.. try in ##windows instead

[18:53] <iluminator101> slart it says no device found xsane

[18:54] <abhijit> I even ddint know what problem he solved!!!!!    ;)
[18:54] <lelle> asyncritus try rctrl or ctrl1 or something
[18:54] <swapnil> WHAT IS L10
[18:54] <lelle> lctr*
[18:55] <iluminator101> hmm.... this is pissing me. off i will be back
[18:55] <ikonia> !caps > swapnil
[18:55] <Slart> swapnil: a camera from panasonic? and you've been told about using CAPS
[18:55] <Aciid> Slart: I'm an moderately advanced sysadmin, but this got me from all sides. It doesn't output anything, it just reboots
[18:55] <sacarlson> Aciid: you probly need to boot a window 7 recovery disk to fix it
[18:55] <asyncritus> @lelle: ctrl:nocaps works to switch it with caps-lock, lctrl or ctrl1 doesn't work
[18:56] <ruser> In Linux, is there a way to make a macro that pushes the S key every half second, then after pushing S 12 times, holds down on the Down Arrow Key for a second, lets go, then repeats the 12 s pushes, then pushes and holds the Up key for a second, then pushes the s key 12 times and repeats?
[18:56] <Aciid> okey I'll just overwrite grub then, I can replace it later, and use super grub disk for now.
[18:56] <Slart> Aciid: when you select windows from grub it hands over control to the windows boot loader, afaik.. if something has messed with that there's no telling what will happen.. if I were you I would try fixing the boot thingy from the windows install cd's repair options
[18:56] <ruser> I found two programs called metacity and something else
[18:56] <ikonia> ruser: should be doable with scripting
[18:56] <Knifas> how do i unistall wubi?
[18:56] <neyo> disconnect
[18:56] <Aciid> Slart: yeah Ill try , thank you =)
[18:57] <Slart> Aciid: you're welcome
[18:57] <ruser> I'm using Gnome.  How can I use scripting?  Is it a macro program or is it like a Perl/PYthon/Shell script
[18:57] <BluesKaj> Knifas, install it in windows
[18:57] <Knifas> i did, now i want to unistall it
[18:57] <sacarlson> ruser: I'm not sure about the hold part but there is a program to push keys from a script, I used ruby to run it.  I forget the name
[18:58] <almoxarife> Knifas: wubi is a program in windows, remove it via the windows remove utility
[18:58] <BluesKaj> uninstall , oh,
[18:58] <lelle> asyncritus then it is probably tab which is the problem..
[18:58] <Knifas> i can´t get to windowns it has to be done via ubuntu
[18:58] <BluesKaj> uninstall in windows , Knifas
[18:58] <figure002> BluesKaj: you mean you want to write your own scripts?
[18:58] <lelle> ikonia blueskaj given up on me? :(
[18:58] <asyncritus> @lelle: right
[18:59] <ikonia> lelle: sorry no, I was just watching the others help
[18:59] <detrix42> How do I change the resolution for tty1 (ctrl+alt+F1) terminal?
[18:59] <lelle> but i was first ;_; ;_; ;_;
[18:59] <almoxarife> Knifas: wubi installed ubuntu and added it to the bootloader, you want to delete ubuntu from within ubuntu?
[18:59] <figure002> ruser: you mean you want to write your own scripts?
[18:59] <lelle> hehe kidding
[18:59] <Knifas> yes
[18:59] <trism> ruser: if you install xdotool, you should be able to easily write a bash script to do exactly what you want
[19:00] <BluesKaj> lelle, does iwconfig show the router IP and other networked devices, if any
[19:01] <lelle> blueskaj yes it does
[19:01] <lelle> eth2      IEEE 802.11  Access Point: Not-Associated              Link Quality:5  Signal level:0  Noise level:0           Rx invalid nwid:0  invalid crypt:0  invalid misc:0
[19:01] <almoxarife> Knifas: perhaps I don't understand the question, because what I am understanding is that you want to wipe out ubuntu while in ubuntu
[19:01] <Knifas> yes
[19:01] <glopp> Does anyone know what the heck is this mausgrapher application and how the heck it got installed on my system?
[19:01] <pietrubens> israfel, remember me, the boot-problem guy?
[19:01] <N0px> hey how would i connect to this server?  "irc.freenode.net"
[19:01] <Knifas> yes
[19:01] <ikonia> N0px: you're on it
[19:01] <N0px> k good
[19:01] <N0px> lol sorry m8
[19:02] <pil> Hello everyone - I know how to change a folder's icon to another one by using the properties section of that specific folder and click on the icon to change to another one. But I don't know if it is possible to change all the folder icons in my system into one specific folder.png instead of changing all of them one by one using properties... So when I create a folder after that, the folder icon will be the one that I have chosen - not the default one.
[19:02] <ikonia> N0px: join #freenode if you want to chat/help with the network
[19:02] <pietrubens> i installed ubuntu 10 on external HD, but now pc does not start up anymore: "error no such device" and then goes "grub rescue>" i can not enter bios, nor grub anymore
[19:03] <BluesKaj> lelle, so you configured NM to your encryption scheme wep, wpa or whatever and pw etc?
[19:03] <lelle> pil click start menu >system>preferences then choose a theme and press costumize
[19:03] <glopp> Never mind
[19:03] <radi> anyone can help me with bcm4311 driver for a dell laptop ?
[19:03] <lelle> blueskaj NM?, but yes, wpa and password
[19:03] <pil> lelle: let me try - thanks ;)
[19:03] <lelle> pil np hehe
[19:04] <almoxarife> Knifas: all of ubuntu is installed on a folder called ubuntu in the tree of the drive you told wubi to install it, you can see that folder and do with it as you please with nautilus, but I would not recommend wiping it off the drive, not sure what that would do to your windows side
[19:04] <BluesKaj> NM=network manager lelle
[19:04] <lelle> radi i have bcm 4312 and ive tried for hours so im afraid ur doomed
[19:04] <Traveler8> i have an issue with postfix, if i mail "new" users on my server, they get mail. If i mail excisting users, mail.log says .destination_email_address.
[19:04] <ServerTechPro> is this ubuntu discussion
[19:04] <Knifas> ok
[19:04] <radi> lelle: no way to make it to work ?
[19:04] <pietrubens> any suggestions as how i can restore my laptop again: i can not even turn it on anymore after trying to install ubuntu 10 onto external HD
[19:04] <Traveler8> if there a way to update the "refresh" database
[19:04] <lelle> server tech yes..
[19:04] <oCean_> ServerTechPro: ubuntu technical support
[19:04] <ServerTechPro> ok
[19:04] <ServerTechPro> Hmm, is 10.04 ubuntu unstable
[19:05] <rww> no
[19:05] <ServerTechPro> i guess, it hanged, almost crashed in the morning
[19:05] <lelle> radi there is but it can be complicated.. just dont hurry too much or u do so change so many settings so u have no option but reinstall hehe..
[19:05] <chemical-death> pietrubens: i guess you installed grub on external harddisk. it has overwritten your normal boot loader so you need to boot from external harddisk.
[19:05] <w4n> Hey guys, I've installed Evolution 2.30.2 and everything works fine except for the notifications. I can see the plugin in the plugin list, but it doesn't do anything!? Anyone an idea?
[19:05] <KingGuru> Anyone experienced that console dosen't work..  ?
[19:05] <pietrubens> it does not even detect the external HD anymore when starting up
[19:06] <saganbyte> Hi :)
[19:06] <radi> lelle: i havent tried with cable internet connection yet, maybe it will download the proper ones
[19:06] <ServerTechPro> is ubuntu 10.04 unstable?
[19:06] <radi> or youve tried that ?
[19:06] <oCean_> ServerTechPro: you already asked that, right?
[19:06] <Oer> ServerTechPro, no
[19:06] <BluesKaj> lelle,  run sudo dhclient wlan0, or whatever your Lan is named
[19:06] <pietrubens> and i tried a windows 7 restore disk, and even that fails
[19:06] <ben_m> vin: Hey
[19:06] <vin> hey
[19:06] <chemical-death> pietrubens: did you use a dual boot system?
[19:06] <Oer> ServerTechPro, why do you ask ?
[19:06] <saganbyte> What is the ideal folder to install applications in ?
[19:06] <lelle> radi maybe, for hardware and wireless drivers go start>system>administration>hardware  drivers..
[19:06] <vin> so, we do the chitchat or straight to the irc-sex?
[19:06] <ServerTechPro> hmm, but many people say its unstable, and it almost crashed today
[19:06] <carandraug> ServerTechPro, no. It's the latest stable release with long-term support
[19:06] <Traveler8> is there a way to "refresh" the users database of ubuntu?
[19:06] <radi> yes i know
[19:06] <radi> ok, ill go try that ;P
[19:06] <radi> then will google mroe
[19:06] <lelle> ;D
[19:07] <Oer> !details | ServerTechPro
[19:07] <Juniksz> hello. I can display a running TTY1 program in a terminal?
[19:07] <pietrubens> i wanted to, so it asked where to install the grub, and like you said, i installed it on the external hd, but now does not even recognize the external hd anymore
[19:07] <oCean_> ServerTechPro: this is support rather than discussion channel. If you have issues, be sure to describe details. Try to keep it all in one single line
[19:07] <lelle> blueskaj http://pastebin.com/Ng4ZcNRR
[19:07]  * ben_m unzips
[19:07] <sacarlson> ServerTechPro:  it's been stable for me for 2 weeks now 24/7,  I guess it's dependent on hardware compatiblilty
[19:07] <ServerTechPro> i have a problem that sometimes it hangs, i have 10.04 lts ubuntu desktop
[19:07] <sinurge> is it possible to do a dist upgrade from a terminaal
[19:07] <pietrubens> is there a way to restore the normal windows boot? i tried the original restore CD-rom, but did not work
[19:07] <lelle> sinurge yes it is just so u know heh
[19:07] <almoxarife> pietrubens: did you change the laptop bios to boot from the ext hd ??
[19:07] <Slart> sinurge: yes, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[19:08] <Slart> sinurge: it won't get you from 9.10 to 10.04 though.. it will just update your packages
[19:08] <pietrubens> i thought so, but now can not even enter bios anymore
[19:08] <sinurge> hmm
[19:08] <Pici> sinurge: Are you looking to upgrade to a new release?
[19:08] <ugur> Hi all. I installed Ubuntu Lucid over a windows XP but ubuntu grub did not recognize it and no dual boot
[19:08] <sinurge> am getting a peculiar error while doing it form 10.04 to 10.10
[19:08] <oCean_> sinurge: maverick discussion in #ubuntu+1
[19:09] <ServerTechPro> and does ubuntu have any kind of software or utility whill will allow it to control fan speed and thus temp.
[19:09] <sinurge> yeah i know oCean jsut not getting a solution to it
[19:09] <Slart> ugur: if you installed ubuntu *over* windows xp then windows xp is gone.. so no dual boot.. or you used wubi?
[19:09] <almoxarife> ugur: you did a wubi install?
[19:09] <Oer> pietrubens disconnect any usb device, remove battery and powercord, then hold power button 10 sec to reset, then hook up again ?
[19:09] <oCean_> sinurge: maverick is Alpha release, so not in this channel
[19:09] <KingGuru> I have a problem with using a promt instead of graphical. I use ubuntu 10.04. When I press ctrl+alt + either of the F keys It's not possible to read anything
[19:09] <ugur> I installed XP first then ubuntu via live cd
[19:10] <BluesKaj> lelle, that's a wired connection command for ethernet , I thought you were trying to connect by wifi
[19:10] <pietrubens> i will try that option, oer, after completing copying my HD: i am using a live cd now, and i can see that all my files are intact, so i am making a backup first
[19:10] <jshriver> hi again...
[19:10] <ServerTechPro> can someone answer mine
[19:10] <almoxarife> doesn't live cd install wipe the drive?
[19:10] <ugur> I remember that in the previous distros ubuntu identified XP and put a chainloader in grub.cfg
[19:10] <jshriver> is there anyway of giving scp a password from the command line?
[19:10] <Oer> pietrubens, good idea
[19:10] <lelle> blueskaj yes but the broadcom 4312s logical name is eth2, cable is eth1
[19:10] <pietrubens> that's the only thing that works: the live cd from ubuntu :s
[19:11] <ikonia> ServerTechPro: fan control depends on the bios and ubuntu's compatability with it's tools
[19:11] <ugur> live cd does not wipe the drive if you select manual partitioning
[19:11] <ServerTechPro> ok
[19:11] <ServerTechPro> thx
[19:11] <ikonia> ServerTechPro: normally the bios will auto manage the fans if they are varible
[19:11] <w4n> @ugur try running "sudo update-grub" in a terminal
[19:11] <pietrubens> oer: why hold the power button when there is no battery and energy? what will that do?
[19:11] <ugur> I did but no way
[19:12] <lelle> blueskaj i have checked my router for external connection but it doesnt seem to have my computer in it, only my sisters
[19:12] <w4n> ugur: can you see the xp partition in nautilus?
[19:13] <ugur> w4n: yes I do
[19:13]  * BluesKaj scratches his head ... lelle my broadcom responds to wlan0 not eth1 or 2 , your ethernet card uses a totally different designation and connection
[19:13] <BluesKaj> I'm sure it's not eth1
[19:14] <almoxarife> BluesKaj: it would be if it's a hard wire
[19:14] <lelle> blueskaj but internet forums etc tells me the broadcom in my hp 550 laptop is different and usual broadcom drivers doesnt work.. or else i dont think i would have this problem
[19:14] <aar> Hi, would it be at all possible to run an entire Ubuntu system through a cluster, or is it just specific individual tasks that can be sent through the cluster?
[19:14] <BluesKaj> almoxarife, exactly but we're talking wifi
[19:14] <ikonia> aar: thorugh a cluster ? what do you mean
[19:14] <aar> ikonia, a cluster of computers
[19:15] <BluesKaj> lelle, can you connect by ethernet ?
[19:15] <ikonia> aar: how can you do that
[19:15] <ugur> This is the result of sudo fdisk -l command : http://paste.ubuntu.com/475558/ but no dual boot
[19:15] <lelle> blueskaj yes im using it rought now, and ive tried unplugging the cable..
[19:15] <ikonia> aar: the cluster needs to be running an opeating system,
[19:15] <aar> ikonia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_cluster
[19:15] <BluesKaj> lelle, laptop ?
[19:16] <ikonia> aar: that is processing, not operating system running
[19:16] <aar> ikonia, yes, but only tasks piped through the cluster in a specific code use all the processing power.
[19:16] <lelle> blueskaj yes, hp 550
[19:16] <lelle> cheapest of them all
[19:16] <kpettit> My desktop keeps getting random periodic deskop slowdowns.  It's like the mouse/keyboard is sticking.  I have 4GB ram and cant' see anything in top slowing it down.  I have a drobo sata drive, seems like it slows when that is being accessed.  ANy ideas how I can keep desktop running smooth with no sticking?
[19:16] <ikonia> aar: so how would you run an OS on a processing cluster ?
[19:16] <aar> ikonia, i know. my question is: is it at all possible to run an entire system through a cluster rather than just a process?
[19:16] <pil> when I write code in gedit, my code stuff does not look in colors - how could I do that in gedit?
[19:16] <aar> ikonia, that is precisely what i am speculatively asking
[19:16] <kpettit> I'm using commercial nvidia driver but not using any accelrated desktop effects
[19:16] <ikonia> aar: how can you do that ? it's IO/CPU/RAM would have to be presented as a virtual device, which in that case you may as well just use a vmware cluster
[19:17] <almoxarife> ugur: what's on sda5?
[19:17] <BluesKaj> lelle, i have an acer elcheapo as well, but broadcom connects fine ...lemme check ,brb.
[19:17] <ikonia> aar: they are processing clusters, eg: they run clustered processes on machines that already have an OS
[19:17] <roby> ciao
[19:17] <aar> ikonia, i see. thx, i'll look into it.
[19:18] <ugur> almoxarife: windows xp installation
[19:18] <lelle> pil im not sure but theres plenty other editors that support it... linux is for coders :d
[19:18] <roby> qualcuno mi aiuterebbe con grub, ho il pc in dual boot con 7 e dopo uno stronzo di aggiornamento di mcafee non mi fa il boot mi torna sempre indietro
[19:18] <lelle> roby wtf
[19:18] <lelle> robu what language is it?
[19:18] <pil> lelle: could you give me an example please which one is the best or which one you use?
[19:18] <almoxarife> italian
[19:19] <rww> ubottu: it | roby
[19:19] <rww> ubottu: wtf | lelle
[19:19] <aar> ikonia, out of curiosity -- if onw can run an entire OS through a vmware cluster, what would be the incentive for anyone to build a process cluster?
[19:19] <aar> *one
[19:19] <lelle> pil i used google and it says gedit supports syntax colors etc, check the preferences in it..
[19:20] <pil> lelle: let me check - thanks
[19:20] <ikonia> aar: because there are limitations with running the OS thorugh the virtual machine strcuture, overheads and limitations, where as one machine access to 1000 processors, is better than 1 machine accessing 1 processor built out of 1000 processors
[19:20] <lelle> didnt know ftw backwards wasnt family friendly hehe
[19:21] <lelle> but im sure a family is sitting together infort of a computer watching what were saying in #ubuntu hehE ;D
[19:21] <flobee__> question:  i added CPU temp monitor to my panel but theres a red X over it. how do i fix?  (i have a core 2 duo proc)

[19:23] <epoxy_> so.. Ubuntu actively 'takes down' old repos? I am needed 5.10 repos for something and I can't find one
[19:23] <oCean_> !breezy | epoxy_
[19:23] <Guest90506> Hello I have installed wine software but I am not able to run IE explorer please help
[19:23] <Cheguerz> Is it secure? Cause my pptp service runs all the time: as nolaunchapp
[19:23] <w4n> ugur: maybe you can use super grub disk to fix this (see: http://www.supergrubdisk.org/wiki/Boot_Problems#Windows_Boot_Problems)
[19:23] <oCean_> Guest90506: #winehq is the wine help channel
[19:23] <micahg> anyone reporting out of date cache after update-manager SRU in Lucid?
[19:23] <epoxy_> oCean_, I am aware.
[19:24] <lelle> guest90506 wine comes with ei explorer so use it instead of windows explorer.exe if u havent
[19:24] <epoxy_> I need the repos.
[19:24] <epoxy_> not an upgrade notice ;)
[19:24] <Cheguerz> Is it normal for a service to not be killed when you quit it's function
[19:24] <rsr> is there heating issues with macbooks that have the built in battery?
[19:24] <oCean_> epoxy_: have you visited the links inside the message?
[19:25] <lelle> cheguerz yes a function is something a program is able to do, so logically it shouldbnt be killed..
[19:25] <SQLserver45> hey, I'd like to record/save sound coming from a live stream in ubuntu, how would I do this
[19:25] <epoxy_> oCean_, mm. what message?
[19:25] <epoxy_> !eol
[19:25] <Cheguerz> Thank you lelle
[19:25] <lelle> np
[19:26] <epoxy_> oCean_, ah thanks
[19:26] <nirvaana69> chemical death?

[19:26] <oCean_> nirvaana69: what are you talking about
[19:26] <chemical-death> nirvaana69: yeah i'm still here
[19:26] <oCean_> epoxy_: hope it helps
[19:26] <oCean_> ah
[19:26] <abhijit> i see you are asking about chemical death since logn time now. what you actually wanted nirvaana69
[19:26] <abhijit> :(

[19:27] <rsr> I feel the macbook 5,5 runs at a much higher temperature than when running macos x
[19:27] <abhijit> chemical-death, ok its ok you continue.
[19:27] <Guest90506>  lelle: I tried running iexplore.exe but I get only WINE HQ and I am not able to run any
[19:27] <lelle> guest90506 try writing the whole internet address example http://www.google.com/ instead of google.com.. otherwise theres not much else i know :(
[19:27] <nirvaana69> how do i find you the next time a log in just type your name ?
[19:27] <rsr> I wish I could help make the ubuntu macbook experience more fluid, like the 3 finger swipe
[19:27] <abhijit> nirvaana69, read msg by ubottu
[19:27] <chemical-death> nirvaana69: do you see the userlist on the right side?
[19:28] <ikonia> rsr: you just said all that in ##windows - it's offtopic here and no-one cares
[19:28] <rsr> yeah
[19:28] <rsr> I said it there by mistake
[19:28] <rsr> my bad
[19:28] <abhijit> nirvaana69, also you can use of memoserv
[19:28] <ikonia> rsr: it's not appropriate here either
[19:28] <rsr> Im actually running ubuntu
[19:29] <rsr> I was suppose to say all that here
[19:29] <ikonia> rsr: it's not appropiate here
[19:29] <ikonia> and you're using mac os - so don't lie
[19:29] <rsr> what do you mean?
[19:29] <gimmickless_> server 10.04 issue here.  wpa_supplicant is not working. Claiming "segmentation fault".
[19:29] <rsr> I'm using it at the moment
[19:29] <ikonia> you're currently running mac os
[19:29] <rsr> it is a laptop
[19:29] <rsr> dualbooting
[19:30] <rsr> with heat issues when running ubuntu
[19:30] <rsr> hence me running mac os at the moment
[19:30] <tiago> gimmickless_: did you try reinstall wpa_supplicant?
[19:31] <Guest90506> lelle: thank you ...
[19:31] <lwells> When I use "service gdm stop" , I still get the message that X Server is still running, why is that?
[19:31] <rsr> ikonia: actually all that works in dualboot windows
[19:31] <gimmickless_> tiago: no, this was off a fresh installation. will try anyway.
[19:31] <Guest90506> lelle: I will try to work on this thanks...
[19:31] <BluesKaj> lelle, do lspci and look for this : Wireless Network Adapter ...i'm curious
[19:31] <Guest90506> lelle: bye
[19:31] <lelle> guest90506 np..
[19:32] <tiago> "lwells: service gdm stop" stops the window manager
[19:32] <m41n1> guys i am trying to get a keyboard working on X, do you know if it requires a special config in xorg.conf?
[19:32] <rsr> maybe you don't care ikonia, but i'm pretty sure free software users that come upon apple hardware would care
[19:32] <lwells> tiago: So how do you stop the X Server?
[19:32] <m41n1> i have the driver xserver-xorg-input-evdev
[19:32] <nirvaana69> how do i download you tube vedios?
[19:32] <tiago> lwells: try restart
[19:32] <tiago> service gdm restart

[19:33] <abhijit> nirvaana69, i use video downloader add on on firefox
[19:33] <nirvaana69> how do i download youtube vedios?
[19:33] <rsr> ikonia: I feel it gets hotter than macosx, especially when doing some graphics
[19:33] <rsr> like online videos and games
[19:33] <nirvaana69> how do i get that is it the most easy way?
[19:33] <ikonia> I have no problem running it on either of my macs
[19:33] <chemical-death> nirvaana69: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=547848
[19:33] <abhijit> nirvaana69, another trick is run full video in brower. then you can just copy paste it from /tmp directory to your permanent location
[19:33] <tiago> nirvaana69: Plugins of firefox and chrome help you
[19:33] <aar> ikonia, if i run my OS via vmware in a 5-computer cluster, will I have the equivalent processing power of those 5 computers put together?
[19:34] <ikonia> aar: no
[19:34] <lelle> nirvaana69 search google install firefox plugins that allow you to download youtube and or flash videos
[19:34] <abhijit> !best | nirvaana69
[19:34] <tiago> nirvaana69: Try video downloader
[19:34] <Synthead> how do I restart processes in /etc/init?  init q doesn't seem to do anything
[19:34] <rsr> it also has a multitouch touchpad that I would like to configure 3 finger swife or maybe make up my own
[19:34] <aar> ikonia, so i would need a process cluster for that
[19:34] <tiago> Synthead: /etc/inittab?
[19:34] <ikonia> aar: yes
[19:34] <Synthead> tiago: what about it?
[19:34] <ikonia> rsr: I don't think that technology exists
[19:35] <aar> ikonia, is a process cluster the only way to achieve this scalable processing power through the adding of computer nodes?
[19:35] <rsr> ikonia: I exists on macosx
[19:35] <Pici> Synthead: service whatever restart
[19:35] <ikonia> rsr: I've certainly never found mappings for the swipe features on linux for either the touch pad or the new magic mouse
[19:35] <rsr> ikonia: 3 finger swipe, four finger swipe
[19:35] <ikonia> rsr: I meant on linux
[19:35] <ikonia> aar: pretty much
[19:35] <ikonia> rsr: not on linux
[19:35] <Synthead> Pici: it's not in /etc/init.d, it's in /etc/init and is a .conf file
[19:35] <rsr> ikonia: I know...That's what I was saying... I wish I could help that come to existence
[19:36] <ikonia> rsr: then do it
[19:36] <rsr> I'm afraid I don't know where to begin
[19:36] <ikonia> instead of talking about it
[19:36] <ikonia> ok, so not worth mentioning it then
[19:36] <Synthead> any thoughts?
[19:36] <tiago> Synthead: uhh init q read /etc/inittab
[19:36] <rsr> I don't think your that smart ikonia
[19:36] <ikonia> rsr: ?
[19:37] <rsr> you don't talk like a smart person
[19:37] <IdleOne> rsr: Do you have a support question related to Ubuntu?
[19:37] <rsr> yes
[19:37] <oCean_> Synthead: the configfiles in /etc/init are part of the start/stop scripts in /etc/init.d
[19:37] <ikonia> rsr: I've answered your questions on mac books batteries, and told you there is no point talking about writing software you don't have any idea where to start, seems quite smart to me
[19:37] <IdleOne> rsr: then ask it.
[19:38] <Pici> Synthead: Have you looked at initctl's manpage?
[19:38] <rsr> ikonia: talking about a problem is not answering questions
[19:38] <Synthead> oCean_: I created a .conf file previously that works without any reference from /etc/init.d, but I can't reboot because people are working on the system
[19:38] <ikonia> rsr: you asked if the batteries over heat, I've stated, I have 2 mac's and neiter overheat
[19:38] <rsr> you simply told me to shut up
[19:38] <rsr> not with those words but...
[19:38] <rsr> yeah
[19:38] <ikonia> rsr: you said you wish you could write software, but then you said no idea how to, so there is no point in talking about it futher then as you don't know how
[19:38] <ikonia> what's the issue ?
[19:38] <rsr> but its a reproducible fact that it does
[19:39] <rsr> on my macbook 5,5
[19:39] <ikonia> rsr: it's reproducible that it doesn't for me, so that makes no sense in a discussion
[19:39] <rsr> no
[19:39] <oCean_> Synthead: yes, I did not mean that there has to be a reference...
[19:39] <ikonia> rsr: have you looked at the bug list in launchpad.net to see if there is anything logged as a problem ?
[19:39] <rsr> I didnt say I wish I could write software
[19:39] <Synthead> reload-configuration
[19:39] <Synthead>               Requests that the init(8) daemon reloads its configuration.
[19:39] <Synthead>               This command is generally not necessary since init(8) watches its configuration directories with inotify(7) and automatically reloads in cases of changes.
[19:39] <FloodBot1> Synthead: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:39] <Synthead> this isn't happening on my system
[19:40] <rsr> I simply said I wish I could help make needed corrections come to exist
[19:40] <ikonia> rsr: so the needed corrections are "write software"
[19:40] <rsr> not necessarily hence you not being very smart
[19:40] <Pici> Synthead: Are you expecting it to restart jobs? reload-configuration says that it won't do that.
[19:40] <gimmickless_> tiago: before I uninstall apt_supplicant, how would I re-install it? I have no direct network connection.
[19:40] <ikonia> rsr: yes, you need to write software for xorg to support the touchpad multi swipe features
[19:41] <ikonia> rsr: so yes you do need to write software to enable the multitouch
[19:41] <Synthead> Pici: it also states that they should be started automatically based on inotify changes
[19:41] <gimmickless_> rather, wpa_supplicant
[19:41] <Synthead> Pici: I created a .conf that I would like to run now, but I can't reboot
[19:41] <jimisrvrox> hey guys im having a problem mounting my mp3 player and hoping that I do not have to format the drive...unfortunately gparted shows that there is currently no filesystem on there but there is music on there..and I tried to reset the permissions to allow any user to mount the drive but am still getting error that root can only mount the drive...
[19:42] <IdleOne> seems the bot didn't like my modes
[19:42] <powersurge> hey guys, anyone on here use Geany?
[19:42] <dlp211> hey guys...whenever I go to make one of my GNOME panels bigger as it expands I can see that there are 2 colors, the default and a lighter gray....can anyone help?
[19:42] <oCean_> Synthead: maybe here is what you need? http://upstart.ubuntu.com/getting-started.html
[19:42] <lelle> when i run iwconfig and check eth2 which is my wlan connection, that doesnt work, theres no inet addr which is supposed to be the wireless ip, but eth1 which is the cabled connection has it.. any tips to get a wireless iP?
[19:42] <Pici> Synthead: After issuing reload-configuration, can does initctl yourjob start   work?
[19:43] <Oer> lelle how about eth0 ?
[19:43] <lelle> oer only lo, eth1 and eth2
[19:43] <paulsen> list
[19:43] <BluesKaj> lelle, for wireless here are a couple of sites that might help (I know you mentioned that sta driver didn't help ), but this tutorial may help make it work, http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt
[19:44] <paulsen> sorry worng window
[19:44] <roky> Hey everyone I need some help. I installed my proprietary ati drivers. And I have 2 monitors. It works great except for the fact I can't get my taskbars to show up on my right screen instead of my left no matter how I configure them in the display manager. This is a big annoyance for me. Because my second is not right next to it.
[19:44] <chemical-death> jimisrvrox: yeah moun it in terminal with "sudo mount" maybe to /mnt or /media after that "chown" it for your normal user.
[19:44] <lelle> blueskaj sweet.. but it says dell laptops, would hp work?
[19:45] <BluesKaj> lelle, the driver if you need it http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt
[19:45] <mrOlsen> Hi. I've just installed ubuntu netbook. The problem is that when i open windows/programs they disapere behind the home screen and will only show for a second when I press their icon. I am new to ubuntu, so am I missing somting here?
[19:45] <D4CH> Would ubuntu be a perfect OS for a netbook? I have no clue how to use it, was told ubuntu is good
[19:45] <BluesKaj> lelle, it's the same chip\
[19:45] <lelle> ok thanks ill try it right away
[19:45] <jimisrvrox> chemical-death: sudo mount gives me mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1 and dmesg gives me VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdb1.
[19:46] <dlp211> hey guys...whenever I go to make one of my GNOME panels bigger as it expands I can see that there are 2 colors, the default and a lighter gray....can anyone help?
[19:46] <oCean_> D4CH: check it out: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR
[19:46] <earthmeLon> Is there a way to have all mail forward to a single address?  Can I do append<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>to /etc/alias?
[19:46] <Synthead> Pici, oCean_: after running initctrl reload-configuration, my .conf file doesn't show up as a job. Doing initctl start [job] reports it as an unknown job
[19:47] <abhijit> !manual | D4CH
[19:47] <chemical-death> jimisrvrox: yeah i guess your player has a FAT filesystem or NTFS. look to man page of mount there is a option to choose the fs type
[19:48] <BluesKaj> lelle, sorry here's the driver http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
[19:48] <chemical-death> jimisrvrox: "sudo mount -t" could help
[19:49] <jshriver> back again hehe so close to getting this done
[19:49] <jshriver> Anyone here use expect? specifically with scp
[19:49] <Synthead> jshriver: #tcl
[19:49] <jimisrvrox> chemical-death: im guessing its NTFS as well..gparted just says that its unallocated..
[19:49] <jshriver> ty
[19:49] <lelle> jimisrvrox the them youve chosen uses a png which doesnt expand with the panel, so it stats the same size thus oinly cover a small bit
[19:50] <erUSUL> jshriver: better use public key auth ( if you are using expect only for the password )
[19:50] <mrOlsen> I'll try a reinstall
[19:50] <jshriver> erUSUL: tried, but the end point is a jailbroken (?)/jailed account so looks like everything gets wiped after upload and cp'd elsewhere
[19:50] <Synthead> upstart is kind of a pita
[19:51] <jshriver> so can't use keys
[19:51] <erUSUL> jshriver: fair enough
[19:51] <root1> hi
[19:51] <chemical-death> jimisrvrox: ok try "sudo mount -t ntfs  /dev/sdb1 /mnt"
[19:51] <root1> cannot view my wifi card
[19:51] <Pici> Synthead: Perhaps #upstart could provide some help.
[19:51] <Synthead> Pici: ah, thank you
[19:52] <root1> bk
[19:52] <root1> lkno
[19:52] <hectorite> lshw
[19:52] <jimisrvrox> says device doesnt have valid NTFS...
[19:52] <abhijit> !who > hectorite
[19:53] <tucemiux> is ESXi slow locally?  I am logged using vSphere and the guest OS is really slow, even virtualbox inside ubuntu is  a lot faster than this
[19:53] <chemical-death> jimisrvrox: try "sudo fdisk -l" in terminal
[19:53] <chemical-death> jimisrvrox: there you will see which fs type
[19:53] <jimisrvrox> chemical-death: showing as fat32
[19:54] <chemical-death> jimisrvrox: so you have to mount with FAT
[19:54] <ag0ny> hi
[19:55] <ag0ny> is it possible to set the title# (1 - x) for multiple mp3s in one step?
[19:55] <almoxarife> jimisrvrox: I have a cheap mp3 player, ubuntu says the filesystem is gphoto2, while windows sees a fat32, never have figured out why, and the only way I have managed to do anything worthwhile with the mp3 player has been thru windows
[19:55] <adamramadhan> hello
[19:55] <chemical-death> jimisrvrox: try "sudo mount -t vfat"
[19:56] <adamramadhan> how can i chroot this folder? like adam@adam-laptop:~/Projects/red/storage$chroot 0777 -thisfolder or somrthing
[19:56] <jimisrvrox> almoxarife: at one time I was able to auto-mount this player...I think what I ended up doing is screwing with the permissions and thats what ended up messing things up
[19:57] <adamramadhan> anyone?
[19:57] <guampa> adamramadhan: the command is chmod, not chroot
[19:57] <adamramadhan> guampa: ok, but how can i chroot -thisfolder?
[19:57] <adamramadhan> i got error when chroot 0777 thepath/something
[19:58] <adamramadhan> there is no such thing is thepath/something
[19:58] <m41n1> could please someone check this? http://pastebin.com/TnGfzg18
[19:58] <m41n1> my keyboard does not work
[19:58] <m41n1> but the mouse does
[19:58] <almoxarife> jimisrvrox: I think the player has a reset, it should wipe anything you may have done and bring it back to factory spec, mine does
[19:58] <adamramadhan> then i open with terminal that folder adam@adam-laptop:~/Projects/red/storage$ but i dont know to chroot this
[19:58] <The_Thing> m41n1: It doesn't? Seems you're typing in the channel just fine. :P
[19:58] <adamramadhan> always a No such file or directory error
[19:59] <m41n1> haha
[19:59] <m41n1> this is my second pc
[19:59] <jimisrvrox> ok chemical-death I got it mounted...I think what it was was the -t vfat and then I ran mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
[19:59] <jimisrvrox> and it mounted
[19:59] <The_Thing> ah
[19:59] <tiago> adamramadhan: CHMOD?
[19:59] <w4n> ag0ny: do i understand this right? you want to set the title tag of multiple files?
[19:59] <tiago> chmod 0777 thepath/something
[19:59] <guampa> adamramadhan: what exactly do you want to do? give me more details than simply "i want to chroot"
[19:59] <chemical-death> jimisrvrox: ok that's fine
[19:59] <adamramadhan> ok
[20:00] <heros> hello
[20:00] <jimisrvrox> ok but im wondering if im gonna have to do that every time I want to mount it...
[20:00] <adamramadhan> let see that i wanto chroot a folder, but the path seems to say No such file or directory.
[20:00] <heros> | grep Leif
[20:00] <ag0ny> w4n: no. Ill give you an example: I have 20 files name track 1, track 2 and so on. And I want to set the title # (not the title itself) of the mp3 tags
[20:01] <duffydack> ag0ny, easytag
[20:01] <Leif> heros, sorry, come again?
[20:01] <guampa> adamramadhan: maybe the path simply doesn't exist, double check it
[20:01] <chemical-death> jimisrvrox: you can do this with an entry in your /etc/fstab  there is an option for auto or noauto mount.
[20:01] <jimisrvrox> chemical-death: cool thanks for the help I appreciate it..it was driving me nuts yesterday but like I said Im wondering if im gonna have to run the mount -t vfat and mount /dev/sdb1 every time
[20:01] <tiago> adamramadhan: ls thepath/something return something?
[20:01] <ag0ny> duffydack: Its not possible with rythmbox?
[20:02] <adamramadhan> how can i find the path ? ive open with terminal the folder ( adam@adam-laptop:~/Projects/red/storage$ )
[20:02] <adamramadhan> can i just adam@adam-laptop:~/Projects/red/storage$chmod this folder
[20:02] <jimisrvrox> ok so just edit my fstab and change the fs from ext3 to vfat?
[20:02] <jimisrvrox> I think thats why it wouldnt let me mount it
[20:02] <duffydack> ag0ny, I think you can edit tags but easytag is a powerful tool when you learn to use it.
[20:02] <mhb> how to upgrade ubuntu 10.4 to 10.10
[20:02] <maco> mhb: #ubuntu+1
[20:02] <tiago> adamramadhan: where's the folder with the root folder?
[20:02] <guampa> adamramadhan: then you can chroot like this "chroot /home/adam/Projects/red/storage"
[20:02] <chemical-death> jimisrvrox: yeah if there is an entry you just have to do this
[20:03] <adamramadhan> guampa: sudo chmod -r 0777 /home/adam/Projects/red/storage/ still error.
[20:03] <mhb> i just need a command'
[20:03] <adamramadhan> guampa: cant we just chmod this folder?
[20:03] <w4n> ag0ny: take a look at easytag, it should do the trick
[20:03] <ag0ny> w4n: ok, i will
[20:04] <w4n> oh nevermind, duffy just said that :)
[20:04] <guampa> adamramadhan: you say you have open the terminal in the folder you want?
[20:04] <tiago> adamramadhan: What the error?
[20:04] <tiago> paste
[20:04] <duffydack> ag0ny, no rythmbox cant set track # on multiple files at once.. only 1 at a time..its just got basic tag editing..
[20:04] <adamramadhan> guampa: adam@adam-laptop:~/Projects/red/storage$
[20:05] <guampa> adamramadhan: chmod -R 777 .
[20:05] <mhb> hi i need command to upgrade ubuntu
[20:05] <adamramadhan> chmod: missing operand after `777'
[20:05] <adamramadhan> :|
[20:05] <adamramadhan> i wish i can do that.

[20:06] <adamramadhan> guampa: that work!
[20:06] <duffydack> ag0ny, you can rename files also based on their tag.. its a nice tool.. saved me hours of cleaning tags
[20:07] <guampa> adamramadhan: glad it did :)
[20:07] <aleron> can anybody help me with aircrack im using ubuntu now
[20:07] <ag0ny> duffydack: Ill giving it a try right now, but it seems I need to give it some time :D
[20:07] <Annie> hey room.. I know this isn't an Ubuntu question, but this is the only room that seems to answer. If my router can't 'loopback' I can't test my network as if I were outside of it, right?
[20:08] <jguzikowski> Anyone have any idea why I'm getting permission error when I try to move a file from my ubuntu desktop to my android phone?
[20:08] <Slart> Annie: even if your router had a "loopback" it's not sure it acts as if that traffic came from the outside
[20:08] <adamramadhan> guampa: thanks
[20:08] <duffydack> ag0ny, if all you wanna do is add a track # to each files tag then select all files, and press the little widget next to track # on the right.. it`ll do it sequentially.
[20:08] <guampa> adamramadhan: you're welcome
[20:08] <Annie> Slart: kk... thanks
[20:08] <ag0ny> duffydack: just found that :D

[20:11] <bastones> Hi. I've installed Ubuntu on MacBook Pro 7,1 and I read the page on what to do to get things to work, everything works flawlessly except the sound. The sound had been noted to work before until some kernel header updates on the august 5th (according to this user: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9682392&postcount=156).

[20:22] <Somelauw> Stupid question, but how do you install something in ubuntu properly?
[20:23] <ikonia> kop: no I'm not, he'd been told before that it's not acceptable behaviour
[20:23] <erUSUL> !software | Somelauw
[20:23] <Somelauw> Not everything can be installed using apt-get/software centre whatever.
[20:23] <erUSUL> Somelauw: aplications>Software Center is the easiest way
[20:23] <Somelauw> But ArgoUML is not in the software centre.
[20:23] <cipher42> what is the new startup system called?
[20:23] <Pici> Somelauw: If you're forced to compile from source for whatever reason, then you should look into checkinstall.
[20:23] <erUSUL> Somelauw: then you shoud try to find an ubuntu deb ( even if it is third party like ppa )
[20:23] <Pici> !checkinstall > Somelauw
[20:24] <kop> ikonia,  didn't see as I just ? 10 min , got here np
[20:24] <Somelauw> I tried using java/webstart but it just doesn't work.
[20:24] <almoxarife> is it possible to install 64bit ubuntu on a 32bit machine?
[20:24] <erUSUL> Somelauw: comiling from source should be the last resort. and what Pici said applies
[20:24] <no_u0> hey does ubuntu have something like the windows event viewer or something to see All of the OS warnings and errors?
[20:24] <ikonia> almoxarife: no
[20:24] <abhijit> bye.
[20:24] <ikonia> no_u0: dmesg
[20:24] <dlp211> duffdack...thanks that worked and i like the little extra touch of the theme thanks again
[20:24] <dlp211> duffydack
[20:24] <cipher42> no_u0: dmesg
[20:25] <erUSUL> Somelauw: download the jar for the app. run with « java -jar file.jar » if it works make a nice launcher
[20:25] <ninado> can someone help?
[20:25] <kop> no_u0, log file viewer
[20:26] <cipher42> anyone know what the new method of linux startup that fedora and ubuntu uses is called?
[20:26] <ikonia> ninado: with what ?
[20:26] <almoxarife> ikonia: exactly what I thought, I have a 32bit laptop according to toshiba support, and bought it as a 32bit machine, how can I verify via terminal that it is infact a 64bit machine?
[20:26] <ikonia> cipher42: upstart
[20:26] <ikonia> almoxarife: if it's a 64bit machine, or a 64bit OS
[20:26] <erUSUL> almoxarife: grep --color ' lm ' /proc/cpuinfo
[20:26] <llutz> cipher42: does fedora still use it? thought they recently changed to something different
[20:27] <Pici> ninado: We do not support backtrack here. Please use their support channel as was suggested earlier. #backtrack-linux
[20:27] <erUSUL> llutz: systemd? not ready yet ....
[20:27] <cipher42> so my old scripts don't work anymore?
[20:27] <Somelauw> erUSUL, I'll try launching it from the commandline.
[20:27] <llutz> erUSUL: so is upstart :)
[20:27] <anotherdelbert> jane
[20:28] <erUSUL> llutz: touchè --> let me rephrase is even less ready... and is coded by the same guy of pulseaudio fame so ...
[20:28] <almoxarife> ikonia: it is possible to install 64bit ubuntu on a 32bit machine?
[20:28] <ikonia> almoxarife: no
[20:28] <dbreddy> nickserv
[20:28] <ikonia> almoxarife: you asked 60 seconds ago and I told you
[20:29] <kop> ikonia,  on that subject is or isn't gdm an upstart job and is there a reason that I get the upstart nag with "~/init.d/ "stop ,start and "service gdm restart doesn,t work ?
[20:29] <no_u0> im just curious to find errors since i cannot open the super user konsole from the gui. the normal konsole opens fine. but when i click the super user konsole, the icon just bounces but doesnt open
[20:29] <ikonia> kop: gdm is an upstart job I believe, not all scripts have  "restart" funciton
[20:29] <no_u0> idk what problem that could be
[20:30] <ikonia> no_u0: are you using ubuntu or kubuntu ?
[20:30] <no_u0> kubuntu
[20:30] <bastones> Hi. I've installed Ubuntu on MacBook Pro 7,1 and I read the page on what to do to get things to work, everything works flawlessly except the sound. The sound had been noted to work before until some kernel header updates on the august 5th (according to this user: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9682392&postcount=156). I've got the latest daily build of Ubuntu so I must have the latest kernel headers. I've edited the al
[20:30] <bastones> sa-base configuration file with options snd-hda-intel model=mbp55 and again, no sound occurring as explained. Any help appreciated.
[20:30] <kop> ikonia, so upstart is still a work in progress :D
[20:30] <ikonia> no_u0: jump in to the channel #kubuntu and we'll work it through
[20:30] <ikonia> kop: not really
[20:31] <biodegabriel> Noob question: Do i have to install 508MB of files on Ubuntu 10.4 LTS Lucid just to get Git running? Here's what the message says: "Need to get 508MB of archives. After this operation, 925MB of additional disk space will be used."
[20:31] <Somelauw> erUSUL, the installer ends on jnlp, instead of jar.
[20:31] <IdleOne> biodegabriel: if that is what it says
[20:31] <biodegabriel> IdleOne, my current disk usage is like 1/10th that. Kinda shocking...
[20:32] <biodegabriel> I guess my web host gave me a really barebones installation of Ubuntu?
[20:32] <kop> ikonia, I was just doing some scripting for cron and found inconsistencies
[20:32] <thune3> biodegabriel: more basic git is possible...checking
[20:32] <Guest98557> hello people i have a zotac ion board with an onboard ion graphic chip on it
[20:32] <erUSUL> Somelauw: download this http://argouml-downloads.tigris.org/nonav/argouml-0.30.2/ArgoUML-0.30.2.tar.gz <<<< link in http://argouml.tigris.org/ see the method 1 for installing ( not using webstart )
[20:32] <biodegabriel> thx thune3
[20:32] <ikonia> kop: in what way inconsistencies ?
[20:33] <phosphoricx> Trying to build 32-bit on amd64 sys, Found a repo with 32-bit libs I need, any way to add it and force arch to be i386, not amd64?
[20:33] <Guest98557> and wanted to know what nvidia-* package i have to install in order to get a resolution higher than 640x480
[20:33] <phosphoricx>  So I'm not in dependency hell?
[20:33] <ikonia> phosphoricx: you do that at the build time
[20:34] <p6209> heya
[20:34] <p6209> any custom repository gurus in here?
[20:34] <ikonia> p6209: just ask the question
[20:34] <p6209> I continuously get "gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
[20:34] <phosphoricx> ikonia, I meant force the repo to install the i386 lib pkgs, not amd64z
[20:34] <p6209> " when trying to add Release.gpg
[20:34] <p6209> ikonia: just trying to see if it's worth asking
[20:34] <cipher42> any idea why my oracle-xe start script stopped working with latest update?
[20:34] <p6209> I've been googling high and low on this
[20:35] <kop> some want service , some require /init.d/ ~ some not all require to ignore the nag and others ctrl+C .. not insurmountable but tedious when you want to automate 30+ start stop or restarts
[20:35] <p6209> but basically i'm trying to set up my own apt repo for my custom packages
[20:35] <mun__> does anyone know how to connect to a VPN via console?
[20:35] <thune3> biodegabriel: i'm not sure what it is trying to pull in, i have git-core and gitk packages installed for a minimal git installation, then you can load other parts as needed. What package are you trying to install that asks for 508MB?
[20:35] <ikonia> phosphoricx: you really don't want to do that, as the package will have the libraries laid out in the 32bit location which will cause issues on your 64bit system
[20:35] <p6209> Since I kept getting the unauthenticated package warning in apt-get, i went ahead and signed my Release file
[20:35] <ikonia> kop: I think that's down to application behaviour more than upstart issues
[20:35] <mun__> when I try sudo vpnc-connect it keeps asking me for the address even it's already setup.
[20:35] <biodegabriel> thune3 I'm doing "apt-get build-dep git-core"
[20:35] <p6209> Downloaded Release.gpg and it will not take it
[20:35] <biodegabriel> thune3 is that excessive?
[20:35] <phosphoricx> ikonia, using for embedded target which is 32-bit
[20:35] <phosphoricx> ikonia, not for my host
[20:35] <p6209> I tried reprepro as well
[20:36] <cipher42> anyone know what the new method of linux startup that fedora and ubuntu uses is called?
[20:36] <ikonia> phosphoricx: then install it from your target
[20:36] <thune3> biodegabriel: are you trying to compile git? if not then no
[20:36] <kop> ikonia, well one of the three (had to include issues with HID :) )
[20:36] <thune3> biodegabriel: you don't need that
[20:36] <magicianlord> where do you put in startup commands?
[20:36] <ikonia> kop: I'm sure you're right and there are few "less" developed upstart scripts
[20:36] <erUSUL> Somelauw: you just have to decompress the file somewhere in your home. inside there are two *.sh files to start the program
[20:36] <biodegabriel> thune3, i'm not sure whether i'm trying to compile or install git, i just want to use git on my ubuntu 10.4 installation
[20:36] <magicianlord> for example, for running hdparm at startup
[20:37] <Somelauw> Also, could it be possible that programs run slower if they are installed in the home folder instead of in the bin folder?
[20:37] <erUSUL> Somelauw: double clicking on it should work
[20:37] <guntbert> cipher42: upstart?
[20:37] <erUSUL> Somelauw: you can make a launcher icon in the desktop or menus
[20:37] <strog__> hi people,  i wanted to know what nvidia package i have to install for my nvidia ion card?
[20:37] <thune3> biodegabriel: sudo apt-get install git-core gitk
[20:37] <erUSUL> Somelauw: no speed does not get affected by that
[20:38] <Somelauw> erUsul, don't I have to "chmod +x" it first? (still downloading)
[20:38] <erUSUL> Somelauw: yes
[20:38] <strog__> hi people,  i wanted to know what nvidia package i have to install for my nvidia ion card?
[20:38] <biodegabriel> thune3, now it says i only need 70.1MB of additional space. THANK YOU!!
[20:38] <magicianlord> strog__: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[20:38] <kop> General One Sentence Rant - feel free to ignore ----- 301 UDATES TO A 9.04 BARE INSTALL ? --- EOR:   :0
[20:38] <pietrubens> i installed ubuntu 10 on external HD via Sony Vaio win7, but now i can not even startup laptop anymore: can not enter bios, grub, he dozs not detect external HD, nothing. tried to clear pci bus but without success
[20:39] <strog__> magicianlord:i installed that but i only get low resolutions
[20:39] <chemical-death> pietrubens: are you able to boot from CD/DVD
[20:39] <erUSUL> Somelauw: it works here without problems. using openjdk 64 bits
[20:39] <Somelauw> erUsul, my archive manager says: "gzip: stdin: not in gzip format"
[20:40] <duffydack> kop, get em while you still can.. its EOL on oct
[20:40] <pietrubens> yes, only works with live dvd from ubuntu, but rescue cd from win7 does not help
[20:40] <strog__> magicianlord:i installed that but i only get low resolutions
[20:40] <erUSUL> Somelauw: redownload... it got corrupted somehow...
[20:40] <thune3> biodegabriel: be aware that other packages may be needed to install for other git features (e.g. git-gui gitweb git-svn ...) And, you never need build-dep unless you are trying to compile stuff.
[20:40] <baumer> Hi, anyone able to use Netflix streaming from ubuntu (via virtualbox or some other method) without much choppiness?  I've uped the virtual ram, video memory... still quite choppy.
[20:40] <phosphoricx> ikonia, thanks for your help
[20:40] <mun__> does anyone know how to connect to a VPN via console? when I try sudo vpnc-connect it keeps asking me for the address even it's already setup.
[20:41] <ChogyDan> baumer: have you fiddled with the cpu powersaving
[20:41] <chemical-death> pietrubens: did you try the correct commands in prompt after booting the windows cd
[20:41] <biodegabriel> thune3, ok thanks. pretty sure i don't need svn or gui. i just didn't want to soil my new installation with 1GB of files. Thanks a bunch!
[20:41] <strog__> magicianlord:i installed that but i only get low resolutions
[20:41] <cipher42> mun__: install the cisco vpn from synaptic
[20:41] <cipher42> that's what i use
[20:41] <magicianlord> strog__: then you run, sudo nvidia-xconfig, and log out and log back in
[20:41] <kop> pietrubens, http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ may not be a cure all but is a good tool to have
[20:42] <pietrubens> i tried two: bootrec/rebuildbcd and /fixboot, none of them worked
[20:42] <strog__> magicianlord: i did that already
[20:42] <magicianlord> you will then be happy
[20:42] <magicianlord> wut
[20:42] <magicianlord> that's impossible
[20:42] <Lcawte> Does Ubuntu time sync to a time server or something?
[20:42] <magicianlord> Lcawte: yes
[20:42] <chemical-death> pietrubens: try "bootrec /fixmbr" and "bootrec /fixboot"
[20:42] <erUSUL> Lcawte: yes
[20:43] <Lcawte> where do I submit a report that the UK one is like like 20 minutes fast?
[20:43] <chemical-death> pietrubens: sorry i forgot to ask windows vista/7 ?
[20:43] <magicianlord> strog__: did you blacklist nouveau
[20:43] <strog__> magicianlord: ? what is that?
[20:43] <oCean_> erUSUL: would that not require running ntpd?
[20:44] <pietrubens> win7 64 bit, original
[20:44] <chemical-death> pietrubens: then try these commands
[20:44] <phosphoricx> baumer, my virtualbox was pretty choppy too. I do a bunch of searching and there doesn't seem to be a good way since moonlight doesn't support DRM.
[20:44] <kop> duffydack, 9.10 kills some of my "eclectic" (polite way of saying I'm too cheap to upgrade legacy HDware) 10.04 is an abortafact (personal opinion) and 9.04 is the last stable release that works on everything here
[20:45] <chrismeo> hi, how long does it take, usually to delete a usb storage with dd? 400 GB. I started 24 hours ago...
[20:45] <chrismeo> that can't be right?
[20:45] <duffydack> chrismeo, a long time
[20:45] <baumer> Guess I'll have to go the road of Dual Booting, didn't want to do that
[20:45] <pietrubens> kop, i opend site, but don't understand it: it seems not to open well in firefox
[20:46] <chrismeo> yeah long, but iI mean, a couple of hours or days?
[20:46] <ali_> hi
[20:46] <erUSUL> oCean_: is not a ntpdate command enough ?
[20:46] <kop> pietrubens,  google super grub boot disc
[20:46] <oCean_> erUSUL: yes, to sync once I think
[20:46] <Somelauw> erUsul, I managed to download it without corrupting it. I launched argouml.sh and it ran.
[20:46] <pietrubens> chemical-death, i will enter them in a sec
[20:46] <Somelauw> erUSUL, what is argouml2.sh for?
[20:47] <Synthead> so I have two machines doing some serial faxing with hylafax
[20:47] <erUSUL> oCean_: well i dunno how is implemented; the gui says it is in sync.
[20:47] <kop> chrismeo, why not partition manager and just format the bastich ?
[20:47] <Synthead> one works one doesn't
[20:47] <Lcawte> where do I submit a report that the UK Ubuntu timeserver is like 20 minutes fast?
[20:47] <Synthead> and I can't figure out what the differences are
[20:47] <erUSUL> Somelauw: may be an alternate shell script for other unix systems
[20:47] <jonnyro> join #buildbot
[20:47] <chemical-death> pietrubens: after the reboot maybe you have to use the repair option of windows 7 again. that could happen i don't know
[20:47] <chrismeo> i want to delete really good
[20:47] <Synthead> if I put a configuration for config.ttyS0 in /var/spool/hylafax/etc, nothing shows up on one machine, but it does on the other
[20:48] <Synthead> doesn't*
[20:48] <chrismeo> but 24 hours? should I stop it know? Did I probably do sth wrong?
[20:48] <joat1> chrismeo: "electromagnet"
[20:48] <Somelauw> erUsul, thanks
[20:48] <pietrubens> chelical, what will this do: just reset the boot or do things with the whole disk?
[20:49] <chemical-death> pietrubens: these command both repairs your mbr
[20:49] <pietrubens> ok, and is there a sequence? one be4 other, or is that of no matter?
[20:49] <kop> chrismeo, there is no such thing as data that can not be erased with the proper application of the correct amount of high explosives
[20:49] <duffydack> pietrubens, repair win7 mbr?   bootsect /nt60 c:\ should work
[20:50] <duffydack> pietrubens, or bootsect /nt60 c:\ /all  (instead of all could be mbr or sys also, depends on needs)
[20:50] <Stifte> Hey, can anyone help me patch Warcraft 3? i have the patch downloaded but i cant apply it :/ When i try to run the patch(.exe) with wine it says that it cant find the install directory.. Any help would be appreciated ^^
[20:51] <chrismeo> I just need to know, if ist possible that dd takes more than 24 hours???
[20:51] <hiku> chrismeo: all depends on the size of your drive
[20:51] <chrismeo> 400 GB
[20:51] <hiku> chrismeo: like 4-6 hours
[20:51] <chrismeo> but what did i do wromh=g then?
[20:51] <chemical-death> pietrubens: after that your windows bootloader is the first. if you want to boot your Ubuntu again you need to install Grub again or you have to use EasyBCD to write your Ubuntu in the Windows bootloader
[20:52] <chrismeo> i unmounted it
[20:52] <tiago> chrismeo: depends of the block size too
[20:52] <pietrubens> duffydack, what do you mean depends on needs my needs are to be able to boot my win 7 on my C drive again, so better to take c:\ or /all?
[20:52] <duffydack> chrismeo,  did you specify a bs= ?
[20:52] <hiku> chrismeo: 250g for me takes about 5 hours...so then maybe more like 10 hours
[20:52] <tiago> bs=?
[20:52] <chrismeo> i used the default blocksize
[20:52] <hiku> bs= "block size"
[20:52] <duffydack> pietrubens, basic bootsect /nt60 c:\ should work..  if not use mbr
[20:52] <tiago> ihhh
[20:52] <chrismeo> sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1  that's what i did
[20:52] <tiago> default block size is 1 byte
[20:53] <Dr_Willis> chrismeo:  using a bs= option can speed up dd a WHOLE lot. ive heard that some versions of dd are defaulting to 1024 or some other larger #  - but not tested. - When in doubt always specifiy a blocksize
[20:53] <hiku> chrismeo: yup, that will erase the drive. I typically use dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/sd* bs=1m
[20:53] <orflon> do you know any utility to backup sms's from Ericsson mobile phones?
[20:53] <duffydack> orflon, wammu/gammu
[20:54] <orflon> duffydack,  thank you.
[20:54] <hiku> Dr_Willis: for sure.
[20:54] <chrismeo> so would you just wait some more hours or would you start again with another blocksize?
[20:54] <duffydack> chrismeo, I`d start again..
[20:54] <duffydack> chrismeo, but im like that :)
[20:54] <tiago> chrismeo: chrismeo
[20:54] <hiku> chrismeo: it's really up to you. if you do start over, try bs=5m or more.
[20:55] <tiago> chrismeo: see the progress
[20:55] <tiago> chrismeo: http://linuxcommando.blogspot.com/2008/06/show-progress-during-dd-copy.html
[20:55] <hiku> chrismeo: if you really want to have some fun, try bs=1G or however much ram u have in your system =)
[20:55] <Dr_Willis> chrismeo:  why are you doing this zeroing anyway?
[20:55] <wmcinnis> dod format?
[20:56] <hiku> wmcinnis: could be. or he just didn't know.
[20:56] <hiku> wmcinnis: could be. or he just didn't know about /dev/null
[20:56] <bubbles|> hi
[20:56] <wmcinnis> hiku, probably some times though when we do stuff for the Mil we have to write zeros to every sector of the drive.
[20:57] <terrylm> hi
[20:57] <bubbles|> can someone put his ubuntu sudoers file on nopaste for me?
[20:57] <chrismeo> I am selling it...
[20:57] <biodegabriel> Hey everyone, N00B Question: Where's the trash folder in Ubuntu?
[20:57] <hiku> wmcinnis: yea I can understand that, the mil needs to be very private. =)
[20:57] <rhalff> hi installing mysql-server constantly hangs, even after I just removed /var/lib/mysql
[20:57] <biodegabriel> 10.4 LTS I should add
[20:57] <wmcinnis> chrismeo, you just want to erase it you could devnull to it
[20:57] <pietrubens> ok duffy and chemical, one of your commands worked (i used all three of them be4 rebooting) and now it is ok...
[20:57] <Oer> !trash
[20:57] <pietrubens> ...however, i can not enter bios anymore
[20:57] <wmcinnis> rhalff, did you try to install via apt.
[20:57] <biodegabriel> ubottu THX
[20:58] <rhalff> wmcinnis: yah I'm installing through apt, does that mean I should try aptitude ? :)
[20:58] <chrismeo> guys thanks for the help
[20:58] <hiku> chrismeo: anytime, good luck!
[20:58] <biodegabriel> ubottu I don't have that folder. I'm not using a GUI. I'm in the Terminal.
[20:58] <chemical-death> pietrubens: did you try all known keys like F2 or del
[20:58] <tiago> chrismeo: you're welcome
[20:58] <bubbles|> can someone put his ubuntu sudoers file on nopaste for me? i want to restore the original sudoers file on my system
[20:58] <wmcinnis> rhalff, no try command line sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[20:59] <biodegabriel> bubbles| I can do it. just a sec
[20:59] <wmcinnis> rhalff, i just did it and it worked fine for me
[20:59] <rhalff> wmcinnis: that's the command I'm running
[20:59] <bubbles|> thanks biodegabriel
[20:59] <wmcinnis> rhalff, what is the last line you see.
[20:59] <pietrubens> i tried some keys: but be4 it showed the options, which keys to press, now it shows nothing anymore
[21:00] <rhalff> wmcinnis: ah, my my.cnf is wrong.. shoudl have checked the syslog earlier :) unkown option --skip-bdb
[21:00] <terrylm> Flash player plug in for Firefox does not work after update were applied.  Already reinstalled it, still does not work. Ideas?
[21:00] <chemical-death> pietrubens: shutdown the computer wait 20 sec and start it again. maybe you will see the options again
[21:00] <pietrubens> ok
[21:00] <wmcinnis> rhalff, well there ya go that was my next thing to check was to move the my.conf to my.conf.old
[21:00] <uatec> hello there

[21:01] <uatec> i have a dual screen setup on my laptop/external screen. is there any way i can maximise a window just to one screen? rather than both of them?
[21:01] <wmcinnis> terrylm, from command line run sudo updatedb && locate libflash
[21:01] <uatec> i want to watch DVDs on just the big screen, not my main screen
[21:01] <wmcinnis> terrylm, pastebin that plz
[21:01] <pietrubens> while i wait the 20secs or so, how can i avoid this problem when installing ubuntu to external HD?
[21:01] <terrylm> I'll check, stand by...
[21:01] <thune3> terrylm: are you on karmic or lucid?
[21:02] <Dr_Willis> uatec:  what video chipset?  Using nvidia and the twinview feature it Does maxamize to one monitor here.
[21:02] <magicianlord> thune3: maverick
[21:02] <rhalff> can I just remove "/var/cache/debconf/config.dat" ? I killed apt-get before
[21:02] <uatec> nvidia
[21:02] <chemical-death> pietrubens: when you install ubuntu you see the last window with all options you have choose
[21:02] <wmcinnis> rhalff, i would not try killall -09 apt-get
[21:02] <terrylm> What's karmic? lucid?, Ubuntu 9.04
[21:02] <uatec> i'm using twinview, but pressing maximise puts vlc accross both screens
[21:02] <rhalff> wmcinnis: well I did :)
[21:02] <pietrubens> yes, to choose where to install the grub, correct?
[21:03] <chemical-death> pietrubens: yes
[21:03] <pietrubens> so, i chose the external hd
[21:03] <chemical-death> pietrubens: no
[21:03] <wmcinnis> rhalff, do psaux | grep apt
[21:03] <Dr_Willis> uatec:  install the proepr nvidia drivers. run nvidia-settings, enable twinview, save the xorg.conf, restart the X server. and it 'should' work that way.
[21:03] <dries_> Does anyone know how to check what gnutls version is installed?
[21:03] <pietrubens> why?
[21:03] <rhalff> wmcinnis: yeah I did lsof config.dat and killed frontend also, whatever that is
[21:03] <uatec> i have installedthe proper nvidia drivers
[21:03] <Dr_Willis> uatec:  just enabling twinview and using 'apply' may NOT work properly in this case. because some of the apps still see the  wront size of the desktop
[21:03] <chemical-death> pietrubens: choose a internal hdd
[21:03] <wmcinnis> rhalff, i would not remove it i would move it
[21:03] <uatec> ahh, okay
[21:04] <ChogyDan> dries_: with apt, apt-cache policy <package name>
[21:04] <pietrubens> and i restarted my other laptop: no signs of the bios options
[21:04] <rhalff> wmcinnis: ok it's installed now
[21:04] <uatec> hinhinjkyh12
[21:04] <uatec> gargh
[21:04] <chemical-death> pietrubens: did you get a logo screen?
[21:04] <terrylm> wmcinnis, running updatedb ...
[21:04] <sticky> uatec -> #ubuntu-gibberish
[21:05] <neeraj> Can uuid of a disk change.. especially an external hd?
[21:05] <pietrubens> yes, vaio, and then straight to windows: but without the keyoptions (F10 for driver, esc for...)
[21:05] <chemical-death> pietrubens: nevermind did you try these keys?
[21:05] <dries_> thanks ChogyDan!
[21:06] <pietrubens> yes
[21:06] <Dr_Willis> neeraj:  yes. it can change.. if you resize parittions or somthing.. or you can change it via the tune2fs command. but normally they dont just 'change' randomly
[21:06] <pietrubens> tried esc, F12, shift+F5
[21:06] <chemical-death> pietrubens: did you try DEL
[21:06] <terrylm> wmcinnis, should that take a long time to run? it still has not returned to a prompt.
[21:07] <pietrubens> don't remember, will do again now
[21:07] <wmcinnis> terrylm, it can take a little bit
[21:07] <wmcinnis> terrylm, its making a index of all the files on your pc
[21:07] <terrylm> OK, now I remember what updatedb does.
[21:08] <terrylm> thanks
[21:08] <wmcinnis> terrylm, np
[21:08] <terrylm> OK, it returned several files, what should I be looking for?
[21:09] <wmcinnis> pastebin the output for me
[21:09] <pietrubens> ok, del did this: entered a startup screen sayng that it detected os and to press F8 for more options, i tried to press, but nothing happened, only option possible is to start win7
[21:09] <terrylm> OK, one sec..
[21:09] <chemical-death> pietrubens: maybe your num function is on?
[21:10] <pietrubens> tried it with on and off
[21:10] <terrylm> OK, http://pastebin.ca/1914028
[21:10] <chemical-death> pietrubens: you sure no FN option is on?
[21:11] <mcrawfor> anyone remember the name of that unix tool that writes down cpu util% over a timeperiod and reports the average?
[21:11] <neeraj> Ok. What are the possible reasons for getting this error message on boot after a *fresh install*   ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid
[21:11] <mcrawfor> you can specify the timeperiod and so forth?
[21:11] <wmcinnis> terrylm, do you have 2 installs of ubuntu or are you installing from a livecd
[21:12] <pietrubens> ok, tried again same thing with esc now: same screen: only windowsoptions, but F8 works now, but no option to set bootorder, only different ways to start win7 (safe, 640*480 mode,...)
[21:12] <mcrawfor> sar!
[21:12] <wmcinnis> terrylm, the /mnt/Ubuntu10/user/ concerns me a little bit.
[21:12] <terrylm> I do have two, but they are on different partitions, 9.04 and 10.0?4
[21:13] <terrylm> OH, humm...
[21:13] <wmcinnis> terrylm, ok it looks like flash dident take close your web browser. and try to reinstall it
[21:14] <wir> hi i want to learn about csecurity for purely like theoretical academic purposes would anyone recommend any sites, channels
[21:14] <wir> curses
[21:14] <wir> sorry   here is my question...
[21:14] <wmcinnis> it would be in /usr/share/ubufox/plugins/npwrapper.libflashplayer.so
[21:14] <chemical-death> pietrubens: you know you have to push the keys while the logo screen is on? i guess you know. beats me
[21:14] <wir> i want to learn c++ and security (better) and am looking for projects
[21:14] <terrylm> reinstall dident? what's that?
[21:15] <wir> remedial, obviously
[21:15] <pietrubens> i know, i have to be pretty fast to press the right key, had to restart a dozen times to find out :s
[21:15] <wmcinnis> terrylm, try this from command line sudo apt-get install flashplug-nonfree
[21:15] <chemical-death> pietrubens: which model of notebook?
[21:15] <pietrubens> sony vaio
[21:16] <whyameye> !softvol
[21:16] <terrylm> OK
[21:16] <chemical-death> pietrubens: some more details please
[21:16] <whyameye> anybody set up alsa softvol in Lucid? Directions online such as http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/How_to_use_softvol_to_control_the_master_volume not working.
[21:17] <wmcinnis> i donno i have a eeepc 1201n and it worked fine out of the box.
[21:17] <pietrubens> sorry, 4 gig mem, 64bits win7, 320 HD (not divided), intel i3, ati vid card
[21:18] <pietrubens> anything specific you're after?
[21:18] <chemical-death> pietrubens: sorry i meant the model number
[21:18] <chrismeo> I go nuts!
[21:18] <chrismeo> And nobody can help me
[21:18] <wmcinnis> chrismeo, with?
[21:18] <bubbles|> ssh works on my ubuntu machine, but sftp does not, where/how can i change that?
[21:18] <terrylm> wmcinnis, it says it is already at the newest version.
[21:18] <coz_> chrismeo,  what is the issue you are having?
[21:19] <terrylm> I did reinstall it once already.
[21:19] <chrismeo> my computer says he has copied 105 GB
[21:19] <wmcinnis> terrylm, try to close your browser and reopen it
[21:19] <chemical-death> pietrubens: the key to enter the bios of sony vaio is F2 i guess. Did you try this?
[21:19] <chrismeo> in 24 hours!
[21:19] <chrismeo> so i have still 48 to go
[21:19] <chrismeo> good god
[21:19] <terrylm> This is a amd 64bit laptop if that makes a difference.
[21:19] <wmcinnis> terrylm, try youtube  when you restart it
[21:19] <coz_> chrismeo,  did you do an update or a dist upgrade?
[21:19] <pietrubens> vaio vpce-series (but don't have the exact number at hand)
[21:19] <fuentesjr> i'm thinking of virtualizing a server but i'm confused about this with regards to ubuntu. My understanding is that Xen should be installed first, then other VMs on top of that. However, i've seen some Ubuntu documentation recommending a sudo aptitude install ubuntu-xen-server which implies Ubuntu is installed first.
[21:19] <cixa> when i do dpigs 10 i get '104400 linux-image-2.6.35-6-generic' and '78288 linux-headers-2.6.35-6'. what are these and can i purge them safely?
[21:19] <pietrubens> i'll try F2 again
[21:19] <terrylm> OK
[21:20] <chemical-death> pietrubens: if it doesn't work try fn+f2 . i know there is a option "media keys first" on Dell be there is the same on sony vaio
[21:20] <bubbles|> ssh works on my ubuntu machine, but sftp does not, where/how can i change that?
[21:21] <terrylm> wmcinnis, there is just a black box were the video should be...
[21:21] <fuentesjr> sudo aptitude install ubuntu-xen-server seems to contradict having a Xen hypervisor
[21:21] <wmcinnis> bubbles|, check the sshd_conf in /etc/ssh
[21:21] <thune3> terrylm: some have fixed flash after upgrade to firefox 3.6.8 by disabling firefox addon "Ubuntu Firefox Modifications" or uninstalling ubufox.
[21:21] <fuentesjr> unless the package does some crazy magick
[21:21] <wmcinnis> terrylm, no error or anything
[21:21] <chemical-death> pietrubens: *maybe there is the same on Sony Vaio
[21:21] <pietrubens> chemical, it came all down to finding the right key, which i obviously missed... thanks a bunch for helping a really embarrased guy out ;)
[21:22] <bubbles|> wmcinnis what do i look for?
[21:22] <guntbert> chrismeo: increasing the block size will increase speed - so stopping dd and restarting it with bs=100m would be much quicker than waiting
[21:22] <chrismeo1> never mind
[21:22] <terrylm> no errors, just black.
[21:22] <chemical-death> pietrubens: :)
[21:23] <pietrubens> i'm in the bios, so i am thinking now changing the bootorder to usb first, will it be necessary to install grub still on internal HD?
[21:23] <guntbert> chrismeo1: do you have connection issues as well?
[21:23] <terrylm> Thank thune3.
[21:23] <bubbles|> Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server <-- that's the only sftp-related line i can find in there
[21:23] <thune3> terrylm: worked?
[21:23] <terrylm> not yet tried it...
[21:25] <chrismeo1> ups I am? I'm doing noithing
[21:25] <chrismeo1> really
[21:25] <meera> what have I to do to communicate with someone in a certain sever or chanel not extists?
[21:25] <bubbles|> ssh works on my ubuntu machine, but sftp does not, where/how can i change that?
[21:25] <chemical-death> pietrubens: it's easier to write grub to the first disk. (sda) or another internal hdd if you want to use the windows bootloader
[21:25] <bobbrown> Hrm... Plazma said that I could come here and purchase F-117 with Platinum Ounces, or possibly high poewr microwave bomb with crates of baby seal fur coats. Is this true? jayne also mentioned it but I can't prove that, as they're on a business trip to Enid, OK...
[21:26] <guampa> meera: in freenode servers are linked afaik
[21:26] <bobbrown> Sorry to interrupt, salaam my good friends... But do you know where I can purchase, using Camel cash, M6 arming wrench or pellet rifle? I am an FBI investigator, and I have records showing that marienz was in talks with kloeri to aquire these items... Thanks.
[21:26] <bobbrown> Wanted: GBU-31 JDAM or hot McDonalds coffee urgently needed! Willing to pay in Belgian Francs or koala bear fur hides.
[21:26] <whyameye> has alsa.conf .asoundrc been replaced by something else in Lucid?
[21:26] <jonnyBE> how do i figure out what my cd drive is called?
[21:27] <duffydack> terrylm,  have you tried to remove it and reinstall it.
[21:27] <pietrubens> but that's the thing: i only want to see ubuntu when i connect external hd, when not connected i would like to go to windows with a minimum of fuzz
[21:27] <terrylm> removing it now, one sec.
[21:27] <chemical-death> pietrubens: ok then should usb boot first work
[21:27] <chrismeo1> sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1  thats what I did. But when I do : pgrep -l '^dd$' then I get two lines, 605 dd and  3241 dd. But there should be just one line, right?
[21:27] <duffydack> jonnyBE,  ls -l /dev/{cd,dvd}*
[21:28] <pietrubens> i changed it, but no luck, ubuntu is not booting
[21:28] <duffydack> jonnyBE, do they all point to sr0
[21:28] <jonnyBE> yup
[21:28] <tolecnal> Can anyone in here come up with a good reason why some keys would stop working when starting up a chroot (specificially the s and d keys). This applies to both a local terminal window, as well as via a SSH session. I'm trying to use a chroot to reinstall GRUB2 on a disk that had some problems.
[21:28] <duffydack> jonnyBE, sudo hdparm -I /dev/sr0
[21:28] <omega71> ammen
[21:28] <duffydack> jonnyBE, is that the card you were thinking of.
[21:29] <chemical-death> pietrubens: then boot from liveCD and reinstall grub where you want
[21:29] <terrylm> That was it, thanks to everyone for your help!-)
[21:29] <jonnyBE> not sure; i'm trying to install SC2 and i'm having trouble getting the instructions to work
[21:30] <adi11> hi all. anyone familiar with display/resolution problems with sis graphics card?
[21:30] <jochy> join #ubuntu-es
[21:30] <pietrubens> well, it didn't work, i changed bios to orriginal settings
[21:30] <adi11> i cant get the right resolution
[21:30] <pietrubens> ubuntu did not start up, scren stayed black, actually
[21:30] <guntbert> chrismeo1: increasing the block size will increase speed - so stopping all dd processes and restarting it with bs=100m would be much quicker than waiting
[21:30] <Ubunturocks> How would I make pcmanfm draw the desktop instead of Nautilus?
[21:31] <jhattara> are there any ftp/sftp programs for *buntu that can synchronize local and remote folders with each other ?
[21:31] <thune3> terrylm: what was it? (i'd like to know, so I can assist others with the same problem)
[21:31] <jochy> i cant login!!,my login screen shows,but only the mouse is showing!!
[21:31] <jochy> anyone??please
[21:31] <chemical-death> pietrubens: try to deactivate the internal hdd. start the liveCD install grub and try to start from usb again
[21:32] <jochy> anyone???
[21:32] <pietrubens> one last question, chemical, if i may: in windows, the system recognizes that there's an external HD connected(the one with ubuntu10 installed), but it does not show in my computer, is that weird or not?
[21:32] <chemical-death> pietrubens: did you activate legency support for usb in bios?
[21:33] <jochy> which is the spanish ubuntu server??
[21:33] <coz_> pietrubens,  probably because it is ext4 and windows wont recognize that
[21:33] <pietrubens> thanks coz
[21:33] <terrylm> thune3, I just removed the package ubufox.
[21:33] <thune3> terrylm: ah ok, thx
[21:33] <chemical-death> pietrubens: windows can't show linux filesystem without a special programm
[21:33] <pietrubens> what's legency support? i just changed the bootorder 1 optical 2 external 3internal
[21:33] <guest593242> jochy: http://www.ubuntu-es.org/
[21:34] <coz_> pietrubens,  even if you open disk utilities in windows to format disks  it wont see it other thatn "Unknown" partition
[21:34] <terrylm> Thanks again everyone.  I've got to go, see you all another time.
[21:35] <chemical-death> pietrubens: i guess in bios there is a legency support for usb. after activating this option usb devices are readable before a OS starts
[21:35] <chrismeo1> alright guntbert
[21:35] <Ubunturocks> How would I make pcmanfm draw the desktop instead of Nautilus?
[21:35] <chrismeo1> thanks

[21:55] <chemical-death> NullProphecy: do you use the standard repository or a ppa?
[21:55] <racerd> does anyone know?
[21:55] <racerd> getting sound to work through my laptop speakers?
[21:55] <econdudeawesome> racerd
[21:55] <tanath> help: after some recent update my comp won't boot to a usable state anymore
[21:55] <NullProphecy> just the standard - the only additional one I've got is badgerports for my monodevelop stuff
[21:55] <racerd> yes?
[21:55] <econdudeawesome> racerd: wahts the problem?
[21:56] <guest593242> tanath, what exactly does it do
[21:56] <racerd> i want to get the sound working on my laptop speakers
[21:56] <NullProphecy> chemical-death: you want to see the output from apt-get dist-upgrade?
[21:56] <RealEyes> i want to install desktop drapes, but my ubuntu wont let me
[21:56] <racerd> if i plug speakers into the laptop they work
[21:56] <tanath> guest593242, boots to a black screen with a few rows of red blue and green dots. appears to be corrupt virtual terminal
[21:56] <chemical-death> NullProphecy: yeah please
[21:57] <econdudeawesome> racerd: is the sound muted in ubuntu? If not, try typing "alsamixer" in the command line to bring up the alsa mixer utility
[21:57] <coz_> racerd,  firts thing...if you havent tried...open a terminal  type    alsamixer..... make sure nothing is mutted with "mm"  or sliders are not turned down....if   "mm"  hit keyboard  "m"  to unmute
[21:57] <chemical-death> NullProphecy: try apt-get -f install
[21:57] <guest593242> tanath, did you try reinstalling?
[21:57] <tanath> guest593242, tried past 3 kernels. no luck
[21:57] <coz_> racerd,  sorry that is alsamixer
[21:57] <NullProphecy> chemical-death: http://pastebin.com/WTJ9S4XJ
[21:57] <chemical-death> NullProphecy: without any packages
[21:57] <Karen_m> Know how you can winkey+left or winkey+right in windows... is there ANY way to get that functionality inside of gnome.  I have tried KDE, gnome is where it's at.
[21:57] <tolecnal> okay, the dead keys in the chroot environment is *not* related to the keymap. booted the live CD with a US keymap instead of the Norwegian keymap, and the d and f keys are *still* dead! so freaking frustrating!
[21:57] <ximal> Is there a way to fix the centering of the terminal on a screen like when you auto adjust on a regular monitor ? i'm on cli ubuntu
[21:57] <NullProphecy> chemical-death: I'll give it a go
[21:57] <guest593242> tanath, is it possible that your hard-drive is now corrupt?
[21:57] <tanath> guest593242, reinstalling what? the whole OS? it's a pretty new reinstall as it is. dont wanna go through all that again
[21:58] <racerd> i'll be damned
[21:58] <racerd> thanks guys
[21:58] <Zol> How can I check what my locale is?
[21:58] <racerd> they were turned all of the way down lol
[21:58] <tanath> guest593242, drive seems ok
[21:58] <coz_> racerd,   cool   the easy approach worked :)
[21:58] <guest593242> tanath, what type of processor do you have?
[21:58] <racerd> yeah
[21:58] <NullProphecy> chemical-death: sudo apt-get -f install returns much the same as dist-upgrade
[21:58] <racerd> i thought i had checked that before
[21:59] <ximal> hello ?
[21:59] <tolecnal> does anyoen have a clue as of why my d and f keys stop working after I start up a chroot?
[21:59] <tanath> guest593242, pentium4..
[21:59] <racerd> i do have something else i would like to get working
[21:59] <coz_> racerd,  that would be the first step  when troubleshooting sound
[21:59] <guest593242> tanath, did you install i386 or amd64?
[21:59] <dcordes> tolecnal: this is scary
[21:59] <coz_> racerd,  just say what the issue is
[21:59] <dcordes> tolecnal: can you elaborate ?
[21:59] <pwnedulongtime> anyone know how to change the standard terminal colors...or all colors in Tilda?
[21:59] <tanath> guest593242, i386. was working fine until a recent update and reboot
[22:00] <Aliselyn> I was wondering if anyone can help me with a bit of a hard drive problem on my laptop
[22:00] <guest593242> tanath, what type of update was it?
[22:00] <racerd> i threw a vista drive into my laptop as a secondary drive.  I do not know how to configure grub to recognize it as a boot option
[22:00] <chemical-death> NullProphecy: look at /var/log/apt/ for errors maybe there we will see more things
[22:00] <tanath> guest593242, doing a file system check with gparted now
[22:00] <guest593242> okay
[22:00] <tanath> guest593242, don't remember. kernel and some other stuff. but i tried previous few kernels with same result
[22:01] <coz_> racerd,  best place to start  is to go to the #grub channel...and I believe they still have a link for installing or configuring grub2
[22:01] <tolecnal> dcordes: I start up a chroot using the live cd to fix my grub2 installation. after I mount the drive itself and /dev and /proc and enter the chroot, all keys *apart* from d and f work. and since it's /etc/default/* I want to access, that makes that sorta hard :)
[22:01] <coz_> racerd,  in their topic
[22:01] <guest593242> racerd
[22:01] <chemical-death> NullProphecy: apache2 is installed right?
[22:01] <racerd> sweet
[22:01] <tanath> guest593242, file system checks out
[22:01] <racerd> thanks i will check there
[22:01] <tolecnal> dcordes: and even doing a copy and paste from another window removes the d's and f's
[22:02] <NullProphecy> chemical-death: dosn't look like it - the LAMP package was supposed to do that
[22:02] <guest593242> racerd, i would recommend putting in a windows vista recovery disk, and going to recovery options, and then to the command prompt
[22:02] <tolecnal> dcordes: the same applies if I try to enable the ssh server and issue d's and f's from there
[22:02] <coz_> racerd,  at the very least you can ask in the #grub channel to see if they have suggestions for this
[22:02] <NullProphecy> if i purge the original pkg, clean out any traces of the configs in /etc and /etc/init.d and /var/www, will that allow me to start from scratch?
[22:03] <shane2peru> ok, I have a i386 deb, that is nothing more than an archive of /etc/files /usr/files, is there a way to convert this to a 64bit deb?  it should run on both, it is built on python
[22:03] <guest593242> tanath, what version is it?
[22:03] <shane2peru> *with python
[22:03] <tanath> guest593242, which?
[22:03] <magda_> :)
[22:03] <guest593242> your OS
[22:03] <tanath> guest593242,  10.04.1
[22:03] <tanath> guest593242, i tend to keep it up to date
[22:04] <thune3> pwnedulongtime: gnome-terminal has profiles and profile-preferences in the edit menu. See the colors tab.
[22:04] <fuentesjr> anyone know of an updated tutorial for having ubuntu 10.04 as dom0?
[22:04] <pwnedulongtime> thune3, yeah I need to change the colors for Tilda though...and I think the colros tilda uses are the standard terminal ones
[22:05] <tanath> gah, what the hell? suddenly every time i type a char it makes a noise like i'm trying to backspace too far or something. can't make it stop
[22:05] <chemical-death> NullProphecy: try "apt get remove --purge lamp-server" close the extra backports in repository then "apt-get clean" and try it again. there was the circumflex sign in your command..leave it...
[22:05] <NullProphecy> chemical-death: I'll try that
[22:05] <tanath> only doing it in xchat though
[22:05] <tolecnal> dcordes: even when I jump from X windows back to a normal console and try the d and f keys, they are *still* equally dead
[22:05] <jimcooncat> my wubi install is hosed, but I can boot windows and systemrescuecd. How do I find the /home directory so I can back it up?
[22:05] <NullProphecy> chemical-death: gah, package management is great till it all goes wrong :p
[22:06] <dcordes> tolecnal: I have no idea really. sorry
[22:06] <chemical-death> NullProphecy: maybe you try to install it with aptitude
[22:06] <tanath> got it. insert mode somehow
[22:06] <racerd> i just checked out #grub
[22:06] <slow-motion> n8
[22:06] <racerd> no one is there
[22:06] <NullProphecy> chemical-death: I'll do the purge, disable the additional repos and try it again via synaptic
[22:06] <guest593242> tanath, just reinstall 10.04, and don't update it
[22:07] <tanath> guest593242, don't want to risk losing stuff
[22:07] <tanath> guest593242, don't have room for backups anymore
[22:07] <guest593242> tanath, just upload it online
[22:07] <chemical-death> NullProphecy: i guess via terminal it work like in synaptic
[22:07] <etalyc> racerd: did you try 'sudo update-grub2' to rebuild the menu file
[22:07] <tanath> guest593242, and i prefer up-to-date software, for a number of reasons. including security
[22:07] <tanath> guest593242, not possible
[22:08] <tanath> guest593242, i don't have that much bandwidth :P
[22:08] <NullProphecy> chemical-death: I thought synaptic was pretty much a gnome-ified version of aptitude?
[22:08] <ximal> How do I install some sort of visual gui for the ubuntu server edition if i feel i might need to use gnome or the like ?
[22:08] <guest593242> tanath, keep a list of all the updates that are coming up, and then see what could corrupt your OS
[22:08] <guest593242> once you reinstall
[22:09] <sithun> Hi. Anyone here experience problems with 10.4 on a laptop, when the laptop returns from hibernation or such?
[22:09] <chemical-death> NullProphecy: that'S just a graphical way i guess
[22:09] <rww> ximal: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI
[22:09] <tanath> guest593242, i'm not sure it is corrupted. virtual terminals have not worked for a while actually, and if x isn't working for some reason (video driver maybe) then it'd go to a corrupt VT
[22:09] <guest593242> okay
[22:09] <tolecnal> argh! this is soo frustrating.. I can't get all the keys to work in the chroot to fix my grub installation, and I can't boot into safe mode as the grub menu never shows up, so the system boots a kernal that gets a kernel ooops, and there's *nothing* I can do to fix it... *sigh*
[22:10] <ximal> rww ... could you recommend a text browser to install so i can go to that page sir ?
[22:10] <rww> ximal: w3m, which should be installed by default
[22:10] <racerd> i am wanting to configure grub so i can boot my vista drive
[22:10] <tanath> guest593242, that's a lot of work. i just wish they'd test these updates better :P
[22:10] <chrismeo1> guntbert you are the best
[22:10] <NullProphecy> chemical-death: according to apt-get, the lamp-server package dosn't exist (when i do remove --purge lamp-server
[22:10] <chrismeo1> now it is very fast
[22:10] <chrismeo1> happy
[22:10] <ximal> awesome ... does firefox have a cli browser ?
[22:10] <ximal> just a curious thought
[22:10] <rww> tolecnal: hold down shift at boot to get the grub menu to show up
[22:10] <rww> ximal: don't think so
[22:11] <tolecnal> rww: tried that, nothing
[22:11] <ximal> ahh shucks.. and thank you for coming to my sortof aid
[22:11] <tanath> ximal, firefox is a gui app... no cli. if you want cli browser, use elinks
[22:11] <ximal> you rlly are a help .. thanks m8
[22:11] <guntbert> chrismeo1: to be honest - at least 3 people told you the same before I did --- nice that you are happay now :-)
[22:11] <sithun> Nobody running ubuntu 10.4 on a laptop?
[22:12] <racerd> i am
[22:12] <chemical-death> NullProphecy: try this http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_lamp_for_newbies
[22:12] <chrismeo1> then they are also cool
[22:12] <racerd> isn't it 10.04 though?
[22:12] <tanath> yes
[22:12] <Aliselyn> sithun: I am, but not the same problem
[22:12] <sithun> @racerd: are you having any problems with returning from hibernation?
[22:12] <duffydack> sithun, lots of people I guess
[22:12] <sithun> oh sorry. i missed a 0.
[22:12] <racerd> oh, not really
[22:13] <racerd> i have a few little quirks
[22:13] <cpowell> i have it also
[22:13] <racerd> like my bluetooth mouse and keyboard take a little messing to get working
[22:13] <duffydack> sithun, do you have swap size = your ram size?
[22:13] <NullProphecy> chemical-death: I would have done something similar to this in the first place, but the nice shiny metapackage caught my eye. The silly thing is I've set this up 1000 times before on windows, so I should have just stuck to configuring it myself :p
[22:13] <sithun> well, it seems that half of the time, my laptop locks up when returning from longer periods of rest and/or hibernation.
[22:13] <jimcooncat> my wubi install is hosed, but I can boot windows and systemrescuecd. How do I find the /home directory so I can back it up?
[22:13] <tolecnal> rww: right after POST is done, the screen goes black, two to three seconds pass and the caps lock and break leds on the keyboard starts flashing (which is an indication that the kernel fails miserably)
[22:14] <Aliselyn> I'm running 10.04 from the cd, and got this error "failed to run /usr/share/apport/apport-gtk as user root" I also cannot access my internal hard drive, and get this error "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1:"
[22:14] <rhalff> :q
[22:14] <tolecnal> rww: pressing the shift keys makes *no* difference
[22:14] <cpowell> sithun: i have the same problem. I have given up on hibernate and just shutit down
[22:14] <sithun> great to know im not alone with this problem. :)
[22:14] <tanath> anyone know what might cause virtual terminal to be corrupt and how to fix it?
[22:15] <racerd> so does anyone know how i can configure grub so i can load my secondary vista drive?
[22:15] <aeon-ltd> sithun: acpi support for laptops has always been a bit hit and miss
[22:15] <duffydack> sithun, how much ram have you got and how big is your swap partition.
[22:15] <chemical-death> NullProphecy:years before  my linux teacher told me windows is a bicycle and linux a truck. lol
[22:15] <tanath> if i could fix that i may be able to troubleshoot further
[22:15] <sithun> duffydack, im not sure how to check that.
[22:15] <aeon-ltd> racerd: couldn't you just use the bios to load it?
[22:15] <racerd> ?
[22:15] <sithun> oh, the ram is 4 gb.
[22:15] <lepra> anyone here could get the realtek 8187b wireless adapter working in ubuntu 10.4?
[22:15] <duffydack> sithun, free -m
[22:15] <racerd> you go into bios and swap drives to boot lol?
[22:16] <tanath> i suspect there's an unfixed bug, because virtual terminal stayed corrupt even after reinstall
[22:16] <sithun> i think i partitioned it to have a 4 gb swap...
[22:16] <duffydack> sithun, *think*
[22:16] <sithun> :)
[22:16] <sithun> checking it up.
[22:16] <NullProphecy> chemical-death: I'd say its more that linux is like a fighter jet. When it works, its awe-inspiring. When it goes wrong it crashes and burns.
[22:17] <sithun> i was right. 4 gb swap.
[22:17] <chemical-death> lepra: try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1466992
[22:17] <sithun> why is that a problem?
[22:17] <shane2peru> any python guru's in the house?  how can I tell what python modules are avialable?  is wx.richtext no installed on Ubuntu?
[22:17] <shane2peru> *not
[22:18] <aeon-ltd> racerd: oh soz context fail, i thought you meant external hdd, and yeah you can but i don't know how to do it in grub2 sorry
[22:18] <tolecnal> ah well, seems like I'm left with no other option than to boot into a live cd, transfer the data from the disk over to another disk and reinstall. argh! so much to set up from scratch
[22:18] <racerd> i can't find the right commands to configure the config file
[22:19] <duffydack> sithun, no just checking.  have you googled your make/model laptop + ubuntu to find solutions?  someone on ubuntuforums.org will have asked a similar question no doubt.
[22:19] <c3l> If I buy a macbook pro will I be able to install and run Ubuntu without any issues? and can I have both ubuntu and os x installed at thre same time?
[22:19] <chemical-death> racerd: with update-grub2 it should be found automatically i guess
[22:20] <sithun> duffydack, no, i thought i would check here first if it was a common issue and not brand/model-specific.
[22:20] <duffydack> sithun, I only have 1gb swap and I can hibernate :)
[22:20] <AndrewMC> c3l: I actually think you can use bootcamp
[22:21] <ximal> rww : that link tells me there is not a page there
[22:21] <chemical-death> NullProphecy: got u any luck?
[22:21] <duffydack> sithun, its a bit wacky but does it, but I dont want it it, which is why I never set more swap :)  I hit it by accident.
[22:21] <NullProphecy> apache2 installed and is up and running
[22:21] <NullProphecy> just setting up php
[22:22] <chemical-death> ok
[22:22] <lepra> chemical-death,  it didn't help man, thanks anyway
[22:22] <NullProphecy> WOOHOO!
[22:22] <NullProphecy> all seems to be working ok now
[22:22] <NullProphecy> just mysql to set up, but thats simple
[22:23] <chemical-death> lepra: maybe you need the correct firmware
[22:23] <NullProphecy> thanks for your help, chemical-death
[22:23] <duffydack> NullProphecy, sudo tasksel install lamp-server ; done
[22:23] <zezu> On maverick if i installed w/ multiple software raid partitions on 2 disks,  and i display w/ lvm2 It shows nothing,  does the installer use  lvm1 ??
[22:23] <chemical-death> NullProphecy: your welcome
[22:23] <rww> zezu: maverick support is in #ubuntu+1, not here
[22:23] <lepra> chemical-death, how could i get the right one?
[22:23] <Deca-Prime> Does anyone know if it's possible to hook up an iphone to itunes in a virtualbox?
[22:23] <NullProphecy> daffyduck: thats what got me into this mess in the first place :p
[22:23] <zezu> ah forgot sorry, in general though for 10.04 LTS  does it use lvm1 for installer ?
[22:23] <duffydack> I`ll never understand this need for a 'real' install.. its only a metapackage to save you some finger work ...
[22:24] <rww> ximal: dunno why, there is. The short summary of the page is that if you want a full GNOME desktop, install ubuntu-desktop, but lighter options like the `xorg` + `openbox` packages are also a good idea
[22:24] <chemical-death> lepra: try to look for at the factory page
[22:24] <duffydack> NullProphecy, really?  been using it for 3 releases at least..
[22:24] <rww> ximal: (ubuntu-desktop being a package)
[22:24] <racerd> chemical-death | thanks, that looks like it did! thank you for the help.  thought i  had to edit the file and then run update-grub2.  deleted my entry into the gub config file and then ran the updater, working fine now
[22:24] <chemical-death> racerd: your welcome
[22:25] <ximal> ok .. Now i feel embarrassed .. thanks m8
[22:25] <LadyTala> HEY GUYS!!! Hot and horny female here looking for some help!!!
