[21:18] <nothingspecial> ahaney3: sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Add. Sense: Unrecovered read error - auto reallocate failed ........ that doen`t look good, but like I said, I`m no expert
[21:18] <UserX7> furi: any ideas what you may have changed?
[21:18] <petan> uUser42342352: no it is maverick but shotwell is maybe just not installed
[21:18] <zazuge> smerz:tail -f /var/log/syslog
[21:18] <smerz> but not real time :(
[21:18] <smerz> or is it?
[21:18] <guntbert> smerz: try tailf
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> !info shotwell maverick > ActionParsnip
[21:19] <jpds> smerz: Yes.
[21:19] <furi> UserX7, was trying to install a desktop terminal, so i got devilspie and such, i created a new terminal pref in gnome-terminal called DesktopTerminal i think. i purged devilspie though.
[21:19] <smerz> thanks guys! :)
[21:19] <uUser42342352> petan: lsb_release -a tells me that maverick's installed
[21:19] <zazuge> smerz:watch  "dmesg|tail"
[21:19] <ahaney3> hope? http://paste.ubuntu.com/531394/
[21:19] <jpds> zazuge: Or just tail -f /var/log/messages ?
[21:19] <zazuge> smerz:tail -f is real time
[21:19] <smerz> yeah
[21:20] <zazuge> smerz:watch just refresh every 2sec
[21:20] <smerz> thanks  thats exactly what i wanted :)
[21:20] <gbear14275> anyone able to help with cdrecord?
[21:20] <gnusosa> kish_: I've added and rebooted ssh activated installation boots, but when I ssh root@ip it asks me for the password I enter the password and says it's incorrect.
[21:20] <zazuge> smerz:tail -f /var/log/message yes it's correct
[21:20] <nothingspecial> ahaney3: That looks better, remind me, ext3?
[21:20] <zazuge> smerz:tail -f /var/log/message is better than dmesg
[21:20] <petan> uUser42342352: pm me one line form sources.list please
[21:20] <SpringWan_> ?
[21:21] <ahaney3> yes
[21:21] <petan> uUser42342352: I will try something desperate
[21:21] <Keba1> How do I mount a usb-hdd in read-only mode? I need to recover files from a damaged usb-harddrive
[21:21] <shine1> all, I mounted a remote folder onto my ubuntu, and the folder looks shaded when doing "ls", how could I make it to show just as my local folders?,
[21:21] <Quintin> Keba1: man mount;  try mount -o ro
[21:21] <SpringWan_> ?
[21:22] <UserX7> furi: so config files would have been removed then. well your TTYs shouldn't be affected, that's not even using X. when you boot up where abouts does the issue happen? post-splash, pre, post-grub?
[21:23] <nothingspecial> ahaney3: you need to research e2fsck. I`m not sure so I`m not going to post. It helped me in the .....distant.....past
[21:23] <furi> UserX7, idk... i think it's post-grub, but before splash. it's when it's starting all the vitals up.
[21:24] <SpringWan> ?
[21:24] <SpringWan> leave
[21:24] <zazuge> gbear14275: cdrecord yes!
[21:24] <gbear14275> zazuge: lol, if you can help me I'll forever be indebted
[21:25] <UserX7> furi: did you change the resolution in grub?
[21:25] <furi> UserX7, i don't think so
[21:25] <zazuge> gbear14275:I used to burn with cdrecord sometime a year ago maybe i still remember, i'll try
[21:25] <furi> UserX7, but what about the ^[[12;2R thing? it looks kinda like simulated keypresses
[21:25] <gbear14275> http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=326
[21:26] <gbear14275> zazuge: thats my issue :(
[21:26] <zazuge> gbear14275: so whats the problem
[21:26] <shine1> anyone has suggestions about removing the "selection sort of shade" on folders mounted onto my system?
[21:26] <gbear14275> zazuge: am thinking I could probably use some of the flags to help identify it but I'd like someone with some more experience to give me a 2nd look
[21:26] <oracle> gnusosa, still there?
[21:27] <oracle> gnusosa, you must add passwd=foo where you added dosshd
[21:27] <zazuge> gbear14275: pls explain to me from the start maybe i missed some dialog
[21:27] <ahaney3> nothingspecial, fsck is still running, it's a 1tb drive so I assume it's going to take a while
[21:27] <gnusosa> oracle: I did
[21:27] <oracle> gnusosa, try -vvv to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and pastebin it
[21:27] <zazuge> gbear14275: do you want to do i simple image burn?
[21:27] <nothingspecial> ahaney3: sudo e2fsck -nv /dev/sdb6 - nv will not make changes except fixing bad blocks. I have to go...... crying child
[21:28] <gbear14275> zazuge: the ubuntu forum post does the best job.  Basically I'm having problems burning cd-r disks... and don't know how to narrow it down from there
[21:28] <ahaney3> thanks for your help
[21:28] <zazuge> gbear14275: it's still not heplful for me to understand your question/problem
[21:29] <zazuge> gbear14275: can you tell me the story from the start?
[21:29] <shine1> Sorry to be annoying... Is there any way to remove the selection sort of shading of mounted folders? Anyone knows?
[21:30] <ElNota> Just a quick question: Anybody knows why Canonical doesn't support Xchat? I think there is enough amount of people using it
[21:30] <guntbert> shine1: how did you mount it?
[21:30] <goku_> too many apps named Xchat
[21:30] <shine1> guntbert, i just did  "sudo mount  folder_1  folder_2"
[21:31] <zazuge> gbear14275: hello? are you alive ?
[21:31] <gnusosa> oracle: hold on...
[21:31] <gbear14275> zazuge: from the start?  lol... ok with this particular leg.  Went to the store picked up 50 pk of CD-r's came back and started trying to burn them.  Kept on running into errors whether it was with brasero or cdrecord... now am trying to troubleshoot why
[21:31] <ElNota> goku_: I mean irc client
[21:31] <guntbert> shine1: didn't you say something about remote?
[21:31] <gbear14275> zazuge:  I fear it may be a firmware or driver issue though
[21:31] <LjL> ElNota: probably because they support xchat-gnome instead
[21:31] <zazuge> gbear14275: can you post the error
[21:31] <red2kic> gbear14275: Ignore the errors. Sometimes I get them but the discs worked fine.
[21:31] <ElNota> LjL: But nobody uses it :P
[21:31] <LjL> ElNota: not really sure though
[21:31] <LjL> ElNota: *shrug*
[21:32] <gbear14275> zazuge: SCSI error on write(0,16): [3 0C 00] Write error
[21:32] <gbear14275> thats the short version
[21:32] <goku_> Elnota, isnt there 2 or 3 irc clients with that name for windows?
[21:32] <gbear14275> zazuge: here's the long version
[21:32] <zazuge> gbear14275: what's the syntax you used (for cdrecord)?
[21:32] <gbear14275> zazuge: http://pastebin.com/Tqbnxc13
[21:32] <ElNota> goku_: xchat is a multiplataform irc-client
[21:32] <gbear14275> zazuge: command at top
[21:32] <zazuge> gbear14275: ok that's more helful
[21:32] <LjL> ElNota: also they support Empathy, which has IRC capabilities. i do realize most people who're actually familiar with IRC prefer an actual IRC client, but i can also sort of see Canonical's stance
[21:33] <shine1> guntbert, I did more experiments and found that it actually happens when one makes softlinks of folders as well
[21:33] <Monotoko> heyy guys...whats the highest IP in the IPv4 range?
[21:33] <LjL> goku_: not that i'm aware of. there are a few *builds* of X-Chat for Windows
[21:33] <goku_> ElNota: once i tried to install it for windows and i got a nasty virus and someone asking me to register it for a fee
[21:33] <guntbert> shine1: looking
[21:33] <ActionParsnip> Monotoko: depends on the netmask
[21:34] <Monotoko> ActionParsnip, the internet
[21:34] <Monotoko> as a whole
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> Monotoko: the internet doesnt use class c addresses
[21:34] <shadow_springs> yeah they charge for xchat on windows :(
[21:34] <shadow_springs> it sucks
[21:34] <rafal_> :)
[21:34] <OY1R> how can i stop Ubuntu 10.10 for using a usb soundcard as default when it's connected
[21:34] <Monotoko> ActionParsnip, class c?
[21:35] <gbear14275> I hate linux snobs ....
[21:35] <Monotoko> ActionParsnip, the reason I ask is that I have just had (in my auth.log) 4 failed SSH connections from: 2<IP_ADDRESS>
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> Monotoko: class C has 3 octets for network and at most 8 for nodes
[21:35] <zazuge> gbear14275: well that's hard to tell maybe you had to limit the burn speed using speed=4
[21:35] <Monotoko> now last I checked, thats impossible
[21:35] <MeanEYE> shadow_springs, there's a free version if I remember correctly
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> Monotoko: thats a network address
[21:35] <ActionParsnip> Monotoko: so thats obviously going to happen
[21:36] <gnusosa> oracle: http://pastebin.com/TW3FQy7p
[21:36] <zazuge> gbear14275: but nothing from the messages tell that i did have a unrecoverable error
[21:36] <shadow_springs> yeah but kinda hard to find. I found it once and archived it since
[21:36] <MeanEYE> want me to try?
[21:36] <zazuge> gbear14275: in what state the cdrom where ?
[21:36] <loris> ciao a tutti
[21:36] <loris> sto cercando delle guide x ubuntu 10.04
[21:36] <Monotoko> ActionParsnip, a network address? the server is connected directly to the internet
[21:36] <LjL> !it | loris
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> Monotoko: its still a network addres, the first address on the network will be 2<IP_ADDRESS>
[21:36] <gbear14275> zazuge: hmm... I've been reading through the cdrecord manpage.  Think a -force would be worthy of a try
[21:37] <MeanEYE> shadow_springs, http://www.silverex.org/download/ ^^
[21:37] <gbear14275> zazuge: and it seems to be having issues on the finalization stage
[21:37] <guntbert> shine1: http://imagebin.org/123109    one is a soft link to the other  -- no "shading" here
[21:37] <abstrakt> how do I set up a mail server? I've set up apache countless times, but I've got a VPS and I want to switch over to that instead of this shared host for my website, but I don't want to loose my emails
[21:37] <zazuge> gbear14275: i remmember that K3B (witch is replaced by another software i don't know) had an option to verify CD integrity
[21:37] <abstrakt> I put Ubuntu 10.10 on the server
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> Monotoko: if it's class C the highest address will be 2<IP_ADDRESS>   2<IP_ADDRESS> is the broadcast address
[21:37] <abstrakt> there's gotta be a fairly easy/quick/fast way to set up a mail server...
[21:37] <magicianlord> when is gnome going to fix the very touchy window resize thing?
[21:37] <LjL> ActionParsnip: 296? O.o
[21:38] <zazuge> gbear14275: was the resulting CD readable?
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> LjL: hahah
[21:38] <guntbert> abstrakt: try your question in #ubuntu-server :-)
[21:38] <Monotoko> ActionParsnip, I thought the max address was <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:38] <gbear14275> zazuge: I found a program called qpxtool which looked at the cd quality and said they were good
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> Monotoko: ipv4 uses 8 bits so the higest adress is 255,
[21:38] <gbear14275> zazuge: no
[21:38] <shadow_springs> oh thats kool. thanks for the link
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> Monotoko: thats an experimental mask
[21:38] <Monotoko> ActionParsnip, so its impossible to get 2<IP_ADDRESS>?
[21:38] <gbear14275> zazuge: when ejected and re-insterted they wouldn't even list
[21:39] <zazuge> gbear14275: well maybe you need to ask someone better than me at this stuff
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> Monotoko: yes, the highest value from 8 bits is 255
[21:39] <shadow_springs> MeanEYE, thanks
[21:39] <zazuge> gbear14275: post it in the forum
[21:39] <gbear14275> zazuge: you're time is appreciated
[21:39] <Monotoko> ActionParsnip, .... so how have I got logs from 2<IP_ADDRESS>?
[21:39] <gbear14275> want to help me craft a better burn command?
[21:39] <zazuge> gbear14275: sorry if i didn't help you
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> Monotoko: i have no idea
[21:39] <gbear14275> zazuge: would sudo cdrecord -vvVV bootcd.iso give more detail?
[21:40] <gbear14275> zazuge: or what would be the best way to try again?
[21:40] <zazuge> abstrakt: limit the speed and give it the drive
[21:40] <zazuge> abstrakt: spisify the drive explicitly
[21:40] <zazuge> abstrakt: man cdrecord
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> Monotoko: i suggest you read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classful_network
[21:41] <jymere> hi I have noticed that applications using Java are really slow if we use OpenJDK. Could you explain this lack of optimisation ?
[21:41] <zazuge> abstrakt: there's a way to know the drive id from some command that is written in the man cdrecord
[21:41] <zazuge> abstrakt: it's a long read
[21:41] <zazuge> gbear14275: sorry i replied to abstrakt by error
[21:42] <gbear14275> zazuge: it's ok... wasn't sure about that
[21:42] <Pelo> anyone know a vnc channel ?
[21:42] <Monotoko> ActionParsnip, I know the last address is <IP_ADDRESS>, thats why it confused me when I looked
[21:42] <furi> UserX7, are you there?
[21:42] <gbear14275> zazuge: believe it or not the man page for cdrecord isn't in ubuntu... but I looked it up online
[21:42] <zazuge> gbear14275: k3b was a good cd burner maybe you'll have to install a use it
[21:42] <gbear14275> zazuge: did you take a look at my previous command?
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> Monotoko: definately, thats a broadcast address too
[21:43] <UserX7> furi: yeah don't really have any more ideas..
[21:43] <jldesign> where can found drivers for Network card for Power Edge T610 'Ubuntu server'
[21:43] <zazuge> gbear14275: yes
[21:43] <MdNtSnow> i hope i've found myself in the right place
[21:43] <MdNtSnow> i want to update from 10.04 to 10.10
[21:43] <MdNtSnow> having issues
[21:43] <ahaney3> I was reading the manpage for fsck and I noticed that the -l option was available to fsck on multiple disks concurently, is there an option fsck in parallel on a single disk?
[21:43] <gbear14275> zazuge: is that the right format to give more information?
[21:43] <Monotoko> ActionParsnip, Looking back, over the last few days...I have had connections from IP's into there 500's
[21:43] <hiexpo> hola all
[21:43] <Monotoko> ActionParsnip, as far as I know...they are all failed attempts at cracking
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> Monotoko: they arent IPs, possibly IPv6, iv not looked into ipv
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> 6
[21:44] <zazuge> gbear14275: an ordinary command would look like this cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrw speed=2 --eject image.iso
[21:44] <shine1> guntbert,  see http://imagebin.org/123110 , I have the shading ...
[21:44] <jymere> hi I have noticed that applications using Java are really slow if we use OpenJDK. Could you explain this lack of optimisation ?
[21:44] <Monotoko> ActionParsnip, I thought Ipv6, but it is not enabled on the server
[21:44] <MdNtSnow> could someone take a look at this for me? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1620920
[21:44] <zazuge> gbear14275: but i remmember that when it comes to SCSI you had to give it another argument
[21:44] <maco> zazuge: er..i think the reason there's no cdrecord manpage is that ubuntu doesnt have cdrecord. it has wodim.
[21:45] <cakez> hello.
[21:45] <gbear14275> maco: well cdrecord as a command executes...
[21:45] <MeanEYE> jymere, I tried eclipse with OpenJDK and SunJDK and nothing really changed... but you can try
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> Monotoko: it can be
[21:45] <gbear14275> maco: but perhaps that is my problem...
[21:45] <zazuge> gbear14275: try installing k3b
[21:45] <cakez> im in a live installation, and i cant choose any keyboard now
[21:45] <gbear14275> zazuge: ok
[21:45] <zazuge> gbear14275: it's an good interface to cdrecord
[21:45] <piecia> hi
[21:45] <maco> gbear14275: ah, wodim does provide a cdrecord command. nevermind
[21:46] <cakez> it has installed, but waits for me to choose the keyboard, which i cant...
[21:46] <cakez> help
[21:46] <maco> no idea whether it works same as cdrtools though
[21:46] <zazuge> gbear14275: it will help you get all argument for SCSI to use it
[21:46] <gbear14275> zazuge: wait it requires kde? :(
[21:46] <jymere> ok I said somme apllications : for instance Maple or Jdownloader
[21:46] <guntbert> shine1: ah, you are in a terminal?
[21:47] <zazuge> gbear14275: no only some
[21:47] <gbear14275> 293mb is alot of k3b
[21:47] <zazuge> gbear14275: no only some kde libraries just 70m not much ;-)
[21:47] <gbear14275> After this operation, 239MB of additional disk space will be used.
[21:47] <shine1> guntbert,  yes, I am in a terminal
[21:47] <MeanEYE> jymere, maybe it is due to optimizations... but I don't have that much experience
[21:47] <zazuge> gbear14275: what 293mb 0_0 ??
[21:48] <gbear14275> zazuge: After this operation, 239MB of additional disk space will be used.
[21:48] <mackedo> Does anyone have a few moments to answer some questions for a linux noob?
[21:48] <zazuge> gbear14275: for me it only needs 70m to install
[21:48] <guntbert> shine1: by default ls uses colors to distinguish file types
[21:48] <gbear14275> zazuge: thats just the dl size
[21:48] <zazuge> gbear14275: ah didn't see it X_X
[21:48] <theannihilator> any ever try to use logmein to log into a linux box?

[21:49] <furi> how can i reset my console prefs to default via a livecd?
[21:49] <guntbert> shine1: man ls will tell you how to change that
[21:49] <zazuge> gbear14275: and you won't regret using K3B because it's interface is like NERO
[21:50] <oracle> gnusosa, hey, try ##linux
[21:50] <zazuge> gbear14275: and in the future you can install other KDE apps too ^_^
[21:50] <oracle> the guys there are more knowledgable
[21:50] <shine1> guntbert,  I agree that it makes sense to distinguish folder types this way, I was hoping there is a way to turn this off, looks really annoying to me when I have lots of sub-folders under a folder
[21:50] <mackedo> I just set up Ubuntu 10.10 on 2 computers.  Both use a netgear USB wireless card.  Both connect to the network perfectly.  My issue is filesharing between them, and a third computer, an XP box which is hardwired to the router.   The XP machine can share files to us, and see our share files just fine, but the two Unbuntu machines cannot share files with each other, or the XP machine

[21:53] <shine1> guntbert , thanks, i was hoping to only turn off the shading, not all the coloring .. but thanks for your help any way
[21:53] <gnusosa> oracle: thank you.
[21:53] <guntbert> gbear14275: you can change the size of the scroll-back (I cannto remember in what file just now :-))
[21:53] <oracle> yw
[21:54] <Svendbenno> gbear: you can save it in a file with "command > file.txt" or redirect the output to the less command "command | less"
[21:54] <cakez> i mean, i have problems with installation. not usage. ive installed it once and it worked. now it wont proceeed

[21:54] <jymere> i've tried 10.10 and and met many problems : kernel ... 10.04 is a LTS so I think it's better to use it
[21:54] <tecnico> shine1: if you want something different you can change it there
[21:54] <gbear14275> Svendbenno: it doesn't appear that all the info was logged...  would there be a reason why not?
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> cakez: do you just get a black screen?
[21:55] <guntbert> shine1: I'm certain that you can with dircolors
[21:55] <cakez> nono
[21:55] <furi> how can i reset all of my console prefs to default via a livecd?
[21:55] <jymere> but i agree that i don't help him, i just tell him
[21:55] <guntbert> shine1: I'm certain that you can change it with dircolors
[21:55] <tecnico> shine1: via the LS_COLORS env variable
[21:56] <cakez> ive selected try ubuntu, to get a live session and backup my files before killing a partition. after i was done i set up installation and chatted with friend on ebuddy for some minutes
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> shine1: if you want a cyan prompt, add this to .bashrc:   export PS1="\e[0;36m[\u@\h \W]\$ \e[m "
[21:56] <furi> how can i reset all of my console prefs to my system's default via a livecd?
[21:56] <cakez> im on the live session which is being installed right now. empathy irc is NOT good btw...
[21:56] <guntbert> !repeat | furi
[21:56] <Svendbenno> gbear: I'm sorry, but i'm not sure on that one :S
[21:57] <sporkboy> Okay, I now get some data from my gps, but then I get errors saying it can't access the serial port. http://pastebin.com/TXun7egv
[21:57] <ActionParsnip> furi: copy the .bashrc from /root to /home/username   then chown the file to username:username
[21:57] <shine1> tecnico, could you give me a bit more details? how can I look for the thing contributing to the shading effect of a folder? and how can I change it?
[21:57] <infid> how can i convert .m4a to .mp3?
[21:57] <furi> ActionParsnip, thank you for the answer. by username:username, it'd be, for example, furi:furi, right?
[21:57] <infid> trying to burn a cd with k3b but it's just taking forever and not letting me know if it's even converting
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> furi: if thats your username in ubuntu, then yes

[21:58] <gbear14275> what does that mean?
[21:58] <FloodBot2> gbear14275: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:58] <furi> ActionParsnip, by the way, i need to reset these to default because i believe it's what is halting my boot from continuation. it tries to set the prefs and it just stops there.
[21:58] <cakez> oh damn, this channel is too full. why wont there be #ubuntu-1, -2, -3, etc...
[21:58] <datta> why am i getting this error: W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/akirad/akirad/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404  Not Found
[21:58] <datta> , W:Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/akirad/ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz  404  Not Found
[21:58] <shine1> ActionParsnip, thanks for reminding, I have this on
[21:59] <LjL> cakez: 'cause this is IRC, not Yahoo. just address what you're saying to the person you're talking to (using the Tab key) and they'll see it highlighted.
[21:59] <xangua> datta: because it doesn't exists anymore
[21:59] <cakez> i wont address every 500 persons...
[21:59] <LjL> cakez: and i saw your question, by the way, i just don't have an answer. if it actually finished installing, you could try forcing a reboot, but you could end up with a system that doesn't boot.
[22:00] <datta> okay then thanks for letting me know
[22:00] <jymere> Is it really worth compilling his kernel itself ? I want to how much time do we win at the start for instance.
[22:00] <jymere> Is it really worth compilling its kernel itself ? I want to how much time do we win at the start for instance.

[22:02] <datta> i do not see the software sources any more, what do i install?
[22:02] <vlad> can someone help me here with a problem?
[22:02] <Svendbenno> vlad, sure
[22:03] <jymere> Is it really worth compilling its kernel itself ? How much time do we win at the start ?
[22:03] <Svendbenno> datta: the softsources-menu is in the software center. They were moved in 10.10
[22:03] <vlad> has someone tryed wireshark?
[22:03] <MeanEYE> Have you heard about Linux virus... apparently to get infected you need to be stupid :D
[22:03] <datta> okay thanks Svendbenno
[22:03] <LjL> MeanEYE: that's not appropriate here
[22:03] <MeanEYE> LjL, I know, just saying :P
[22:04] <Svendbenno> datta, no problem :-)
[22:04] <vlad> right now i`m using kubuntu linux and whan i`m loading the program the nasty old interface apears
[22:04] <jim101> anyone?
[22:04] <guntbert> !kernel | jymere

[22:05] <MeanEYE> ActionParsnip, I know, I was joking :D
[22:05] <guntbert> !please | jim101
[22:05] <MeanEYE> thank you
[22:05] <gbear14275> what does >> do vs >
[22:05] <ActionParsnip> jim101: you can use: netstat -a | less

[22:05] <bttf> is there a way i can rehash my ubuntu machine's MOTD so i don't have to restart to see the changes..?
[22:05] <Pelo> !vnc
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> gbear14275: > will make the text the ONLY text in a file >> will append
[22:06] <jep1985> holy cow.. Ubuntu is moving to Unity as it's default desktop??? >.>
[22:06] <guntbert> bttf: cat /etc/motd
[22:06] <ActionParsnip> jep1985: thats offtopic here
[22:06] <bttf> the motd on connect
[22:06] <bttf> id like to see the changes when i connect through ssh
[22:07] <gbear14275> ActionParsnip: > doesn't seem to be capturing all of the output... is there anyway to capture the whole output?
[22:07] <Svendbenno> jep1985, offtopic. but yes it is true
[22:08] <Twey> gbear14275: You probably want to capture the error stream as well
[22:08] <Twey> gbear14275: Use &>
[22:08] <guntbert> bttf: the same
[22:08] <gbear14275> Twey: thanks
[22:08] <gbear14275> Twey: yeah basically trying to capture everything sent to the console window
[22:10] <drizzt_> how to make 01.10 installer to skip free space check???
[22:10] <magicianlord> what?
[22:11] <MdNtSnow> hes probably having issues with the upgrade like i am
[22:11] <guntbert> drizzt_: I cannot understand your question
[22:11] <magicianlord> when is 10.04.2 coming?
[22:11] <magicianlord> is 10.04.1 more stable than 10.10?
[22:12] <abstrakt> how can I get my windows partition to automatically mount on boot?
[22:12] <jim101> ActionParsnip: thanks , take care.
[22:12] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: its supported longer, and has more care take to be stable afaik
[22:13] <magicianlord> ActionParsnip: will 10.04's kernel ever be updated beyond 2.6.32?
[22:13] <drizzt_> the new 10.10 installer stops if cannpt fing 3.2. gb of space on hd, how to skip taht check?
[22:13] <MdNtSnow> while trying to upgrade to 10.10 from 10.04 i get an error saying "Could not determine the upgrade" - "E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packaged"
[22:13] <Chunjee> Do wireless b/g adaptors work with wirelessN routers? someone decided to bring home a wireless N router but I'm not sure if it will work with my existing hardware/laptops.
[22:13] <MdNtSnow> anyone got any advise?
[22:14] <MdNtSnow> advice*
[22:14] <magicianlord> MdNtSnow: do a clean install
[22:14] <xangua> magicianlord: don't think so, you can use some !ppa under your own risk, compile it yoyrself, or intall debs
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: no, 2.6.32 is a lucid kernel
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: you can use the kernels from the kernel ppa
[22:14] <Pelo> need help with vcn
[22:14] <MdNtSnow> afaik, i'm on 2.6.36
[22:14] <guntbert> abstrakt: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 for configuring
[22:14] <petan> magicianlord: or you can download .deb package of newer kernel
[22:14] <Pelo> need help setting up vnc on a command line machine running a minimal HTPC display
[22:15] <magicianlord> ActionParsnip: that's good then. because then i can install the nvidia gpu driver from safe mode, and not worry about it being screwed up by an upgrade from apt, correct?
[22:15] <MdNtSnow> a clean install -_-
[22:15] <MdNtSnow> gotta be shitting me xD
[22:15] <bastidrazor> MdNtSnow: uname -r will tell you which kernel you're using
[22:15] <abstrakt> guntbert, so it's not /etc/fstab that I need to modify?
[22:15] <guntbert> abstrakt: and for your earlier question: did you see http://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/ ?
[22:15] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: they are VERY experimental and not supported here but if you feel you need a newer kernel you can use them at your own risk: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-ppa/+archive/ppa
[22:15] <MdNtSnow> ahhh 2.6.32-26
[22:15] <magicianlord> i have an offline 10.4.1 system, with all apps installed that are needed and nvidia drivers installed, from safe mode. everythign is working properly.
[22:15] <MdNtSnow> bastidrazor: thanks
[22:16] <Dr4g> what's the path to my httpd binary under debian/ubuntu ?
[22:16] <guntbert> abstrakt: sorry, I misread, yes /etc/fstab is the place
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> Dr4g: try:  which httpd
[22:16] <magicianlord> ActionParsnip: i dont need a newer kernel on that pc. i'm just owrried about handing hte pc over to someone else, having them do an upgrade to a newer kernel, and then the nvidia drivers stoppign working. but, if they will not be upgraded past kernel 2.6.32,then no worries
[22:16] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: then why do you need a new kernel?
[22:16] <Dr4g> ActionParsnip, apache2
[22:17] <MdNtSnow> i really dont want to do a clean install...
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> Dr4g: either way, the 'which' command tells you what is ran when you execute a command as well as path
[22:17] <bastidrazor> Dr4g: he is saying use the command 'which' to find out where the binary is located.. which apache2    would give a result
[22:17] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: i wouldnt worry :)
[22:17] <abstrakt> Dr4g, /usr/sbin/apache2
[22:17] <Dr4g> ty rob
[22:17] <magicianlord> what does the ubuntu installer does differently when installing nvidia from its repo than the nvidia isntaller?
[22:18] <jep1985> the nvidia installer installs packages they have compiled
[22:18] <petan> magicianlord: rep are better preconfigured I would say
[22:18] <MdNtSnow> well i assume everything in the repo has been checked to make sure it works
[22:18] <jep1985> generally they don't have a kernel module package, and you have to build it, and it could fail
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> magicianlord: its a nice packaged way of settings stuff up, the driver is proprietar so the installed things will be the same
[22:18] <jep1985> whereas the ubuntu repository has drivers that WORK
[22:19] <MdNtSnow> ok fine
[22:19] <petan> magicianlord: I have tried to install proprietary on my debian installation and I had to use one from rep cuz otherwise it was pain to get it working
[22:19] <MdNtSnow> i have a 64 bit processor, should i get the 32 bit or 64 bit 10.10 ubuntu install?
[22:19] <Dr4g> abstrakt, do you have experiencing generating gdb backtraces from PHP segfaults ?
[22:19] <jep1985> how much ram do you have
[22:19] <magicianlord> petan: the nvidia installer says the distro-specific script fails, but hte subsequent steps works fine and the drivesr are working very well
[22:19] <petan> magicianlord: so rep are usually easier
[22:19] <maiku__> can someone help me figure out how to get virtual box to recognize my usb (ipod to be specific)
[22:19] <Durped> Hi. My sound is working.. But my microphone isnt.. How do you set up a microphone in Ubuntu?
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> MdNtSnow: how much ram?
[22:19] <magicianlord> i install from init 3, safe mode
[22:19] <MdNtSnow> ActionParsnip, 2gb
[22:19] <guntbert> abstrakt: but as I don't have a dual boot system I don't really know what to change -- normally it should do it automatically
[22:19] <Dr4g> this document has some ambiguities that i'm not sure about: http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php
[22:19] <abstrakt> Dr4g, really? full on segfaults?
[22:19] <jep1985> MdNTSnow: Unles you have 4G+ or are using it as a server, go 32 bit
[22:20] <abstrakt> Dr4g, what are you doing that's segfaulting php?
[22:20] <MdNtSnow> gotcha
[22:20] <abstrakt> Dr4g, have you tried using xdebug to find the offending line?
[22:20] <maiku__> virtual box...anyone
[22:20] <abstrakt> maiku__, what about it
[22:20] <ActionParsnip> MdNtSnow: if you are going to do a lot of video / audio encoding, use 64bit or if you antiipate installing more ram then 64 bit, otherwise 32bit is fine
[22:20] <Dr4g> abstrakt, can we  go to PRIVMSG or somewhere less spammy ?
[22:20] <Svendbenno> Durped: Click the sound icon up at the top, then click sound preferences. A window should then pop up, choose the input tab, and then choose the device.
[22:20] <jep1985> maiku_, they have their own channel... #vbox =)
[22:20] <maiku__> i need it to recognize my usb (ipod)
[22:21] <ActionParsnip> !ipod | maiku__
[22:21] <abstrakt> maiku__, ahh, dunno then, sorry
[22:21] <Celso_> hello people
[22:21] <maiku__> sheeeeeeet
[22:21] <Celso_> i need your help
[22:21] <abstrakt> maiku__, the virual machine has a "settings" dialog where you can add things like extra drives and USB ports and Firewire ports and stuff
[22:21] <abstrakt> maiku__, look in the settings for your vm
[22:21] <maiku__> thanks anyways
[22:21] <MdNtSnow> ActionParsnip: I assume its okay to do video / audio encoding in 32bit as well
[22:21] <Dr4g> abstrakt, i'm doing extension development in APC. I'm getting segfault and trying to identify what part is errornous. gdb can give me a backtrace but i need a little linux questions
[22:21] <maiku__> aight lemme give it a go. i think i already did though
[22:22] <roca999> i need hel whit my sound card
[22:22] <Celso_> can sommeone tell me how do i set a code on  shutdown?
[22:22] <Durped> Svendbenno: There is no devices in Input..
[22:22] <Dr4g> abstrakt, the php page says "Ensure that the directory in which you're running PHP, or the PHP-enabled httpd, has write permissions for the user who's running PHP.
[22:22] <Dr4g> " however i'm running this via apache so not sure which DIR this will be
[22:22] <Celso_> imagine i want to close a program on shutdown. how do i do it?
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> MdNtSnow: sure, but 64bit makes it a bit faster
[22:22] <MdNtSnow> okay
[22:22] <MdNtSnow> thanks
[22:23] <Durped> Oh. I was looking at the wrong area. There is one. But it doesn't work? Maybe it's not using correct sound drivers?
[22:23] <Celso_> noone can help me on this?
[22:23] <Dr_Willis> Celso_:  i dident really see a full question.. if you shut down.. the apps will close.. whats the issue?
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> Celso_: you can add a command in ~/.bash_logout
[22:24] <guntbert> Celso_: all programs are closed on shutdown anyway
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> Celso_: you do realize you waited, less than a minute before you got whiney?
[22:24]  * Monotoko has just had more attempts from invalid IP's....
[22:24] <Celso_> i know but this can solve the hybrid graphics problem
[22:24] <magicianlord> you know what's interesting. nouveau flickers upon starts and when totem starts with ongoing nvidia enabled, but does NOT do so with a dedicated video card plugged in
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> so now we are getting to the actual problem
[22:25] <magicianlord> upon startup
[22:25] <Anom01y> anyone here know of a good FPS online game for Linux ???
[22:25] <Anom01y> or through wine ?
[22:25] <Celso_> imagin that i want to write a command on a file that has the commands to shut down the programs
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> Anom01y: urban terror
[22:25] <Dr_Willis> Anom01y:  theres lots of good FPS games native to linux, and many work in wine..
[22:25] <Celso_> how i do it?
[22:25] <Monotoko> Anom01y, Wolftenstien ET
[22:25] <trojan_spike> Anom01y, alien arena
[22:25] <abstrakt> Dr4g, yeah sorry that's a little more in depth than I've gotten
[22:26] <Monotoko> *wolfenstein
[22:26] <abstrakt> Dr4g, I've done system programming on linux in C, and I do a lot of PHP, and I even read about how to write PHP extensions, but I haven't *actually* done any PHP extension work, not for real, not like contributing to APC or anything
[22:26] <Twey> Anom01y: Tremulous
[22:26] <Dr4g> abstrakt, no worries rob - i'll try and get a core dumped homehow.
[22:27] <guntbert> Celso_: please try to tell us your *real* problem - maybe we can help
[22:27] <Dr_Willis> Celso_:  thats still not real clear..  and not very good english.. If you want to make a 'script' that has commands to do somthing. the script is just a text file. use any text editor you like.
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> Celso_: make a script to run, to kill the app then logoff, then run that instead of the usual channels
[22:27] <abstrakt> Dr4g, who's rob?
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> Anom01y: world of padman
[22:27] <Dr4g> you ?
[22:27] <root> no
[22:28] <Dr_Willis> Anom01y:  check -> http://www.penguspy.com/#/All/free_and_commercial/sort=1/view=1/limit=0  a game collection database
[22:28] <Anom01y> ahh thanks guys !
[22:28] <Monotoko> Guest33659, you didn't just run your IRC client as root did you..?
[22:28] <Dr4g> abstrakt, am i wrong ?
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> Monotoko: that'd be funny
[22:28] <abstrakt> Dr4g, why are you calling me rob?
[22:28] <guntbert> Guest33659: don't do irc as root
[22:29] <Celso_> when i turn on my computer it has a file that send comands to initiate ubuntu (/etc/rc.local.conf)
[22:29] <Dr_Willis> [Guest33659] (~root@93-96-226-41.zone4.bethere.co.uk): root
[22:29] <abstrakt> Dr4g, i think you could be thinking of someone else
[22:29] <Dr4g> abstrakt, shit i thought you were akrabat, not abstrackt - sorry
[22:29] <guntbert> !ot | Dr4g
[22:29] <Celso_> is some file that do the same on shutdown?
[22:29] <guntbert> nad Dr4g mind your language please
[22:29] <Dr4g> didn't mean it
[22:30] <Dr_Willis> Celso_:  i think the  .bash_logout file was mentioned.. but thats for when you are exiting a bash shell i belive.  ive not noticved any 'logout' type files for Gnome,
[22:30] <Dr_Willis> Celso_:  you could have GDM start somthign when it starts UP.. that would get ran after a user logs out and gdm restarts...
[22:31] <Celso_> i need to find a file that do the same  as /rc.local.conf to shutdown my graphics
[22:31] <Polatouche> Hi there! Somebody using lessc ?
[22:31] <Celso_> if i do that, hybrid graphics (part of the problem) is fixed
[22:32] <Celso_> and sorry for my bad english -_-
[22:32] <guntbert> Celso_: all files in /etc/rc0.d are executed on shutdown
[22:33] <nellino> ciao
[22:33] <Dr_Willis> Celso_:  when the users log out and gdm starts up. You could make GDM run some command that 'fixs' your graphics..   Ive not seen gnome or KDE have any sort of log-OUT script.. what if Gnome just crashes back to GDM.. then your logout thing would proberly get skipped.
[22:33] <Habstinat> So I've looked everywhere and I don't have any CDs or a flash drive, but I do have a USB to USB cable. Any chance I can install Ubuntu by connecting two computers with it?
[22:33] <guntbert> !someone | Polatouche
[22:33] <Dr_Willis> Celso_:  You want somtign to run when the System shuts down? or the user logs out and goes back to GDM or what exactly are you running.. whats the 'core' problem?
[22:34] <Celso_> i edited my /etc/rc.local.conf and added the two comands to shutdown ati and switch to intel
[22:34] <Dr_Willis> Habstinat:  most usb to usb cables are serial type connections.. not bootable from.
[22:34] <jfv34> Habstinat: There's a chance you could do a network install with your other computer as the host.
[22:34] <Celso_> on login
[22:34] <Dr_Willis> Celso_:  ive never seen a /etc/rc.local.conf  just a /etc/rc.local that gets ran at the end of the system boot process.
[22:34] <shine1> I googled how to deal with dircolors, and now has the problems solved. Thanks much,   guntbert,
[22:34] <Habstinat> jfv34: Any documentation on this? Thanks.
[22:35] <Polatouche> I can't launch lessc : command not found. Where can I find it (less is correctly installed via sudo gem install less)
[22:35] <Dr_Willis> Celso_:  rc.local does NOT get ran at login. it gets ran during the boot process.  befor a user even logs in normally
[22:35] <Celso_> and i need the add a comand before shutdown to turn on my ati or else my computer dont shutdown
[22:35] <Dr_Willis> !find lessc
[22:35] <guntbert> shine1: glad you worked it out :-)  congrats
[22:35] <jfv34> Habstinate: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/10/08/how-to-install-ubuntu-locally-over-the-network/
[22:35] <shine1> and thenico
[22:35] <blag> where should i report feature addition patches for xserver-xorg-input-wacom in ubuntu?
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> !bug | blag log a bug
[22:35] <Dr_Willis> Celso_:  you could make some upstart service that gets ran  at boot. and then at shutdown to run the commands.
[22:35] <sporkboy> Seriously, one of the few things I use this laptop for is updating my gps, and I can't get it to do this because since installing 10.10 my serial port (usb) doesn't work. can somebody please gimme some leads on this?
[22:35] <kaitano> :part

[22:36] <Polatouche> find: "lessc": Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
[22:36] <jfv34> Habstinat: It's a bit tricky, I think hooking both computers to a local network will work better than attempting to use a usb cable.
[22:36] <Celso_> but
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> Polatouche: try: find . -name "lessc"
[22:37] <Celso_> i need that with sudo privileges or else don't work
[22:37] <Celso_> god, my english is so rusty
[22:38] <Dr_Willis> Celso_:  services get ran as the root user..  i just googled and found this thread -> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=256783
[22:38] <guntbert> Polatouche: "sudo gem install less" ??
[22:38] <gbear14275> is there a way to get information about RAM when dmidecode doesn't work?
[22:38] <Dr_Willis> Celso_:  its using  the sysv service method that will still work in 10.10 i belive
[22:38] <Habstinat> jfv34: So is there any documentation on the hooking two computers to a local network option?
[22:39] <Polatouche> guntbert as described here: http://lesscss.org/docs.html
[22:39] <jfv34> Habstinat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet
[22:39] <Dr_Willis> Celso_:  or if wanting to use the Upstart way the example service -> cat hwclock-save.conf
, well, i think that will work
[22:39] <Neillithan> I'm trying to install ubuntu in a virtual box.  I have created 3 different storage drives.  I want to assign one of them to be the swap, but apparently it has been so long that I can't remember how.  I tried manually typing /swap as the mount point but the installation still complains that I haven't configured a swap drive.  What should I do?
[22:39] <gimpy2944> On Ubuntu 10.10 x64 I tried to have it remeber my currently open apps (under the statup apps dialog) and now when I log in I get my background and nothing else.  I already cleared out ~?.config/gnome-session/saved-session to no avail.  Ideas?
[22:40] <Dr_Willis> Celso_:  /etc/init/hwclock-save.conf  may work as a basis for you to change.
[22:40] <Dr_Willis> Neillithan:  swap partitions dont have a mount point. the filesystem on them is swap.
[22:40] <guntbert> Polatouche: I cannot see why you don't use the ubuntu software tools
[22:40] <Neillithan> Dr_Willis: o.
[22:40] <Celso_> but can i edit hwclock-save.conf to add a comand to shutdown ati?
[22:40] <Polatouche> guntbert: which one ?
[22:40] <Dr_Willis> Celso_:  COPY the script.. rename it.. edit it...
[22:41] <guntbert> Polatouche: apt-get or aptitude or synaptic
[22:41] <Polatouche> This is a ruby gem
[22:42] <Neillithan> Dr_Willis: thank you I was able to figure it out :)
[22:42] <guntbert> Polatouche: and it seems that the program LESS is something different from less on your ubuntu
[22:42] <Polatouche> I know less for converting less to css is different from less/more
[22:43] <Polatouche> So the command line is lessc
[22:43] <SorayaUbuntu> hi guys,how can i stop a pendrive to open windows automatic,i just want to automount wich it does but not autorun
[22:43] <od3n_> anyone know why system monitor would say 10.04 but when I go to upgrade it says there are no upgrades avilable
[22:43] <Polatouche> But I can't launch lessc and I don't know why!!!
[22:44] <Polatouche> I never used ruby  nor gem
[22:44] <xangua> SorayaUbuntu: nautilus' preferences
[22:44] <guntbert> Polatouche: ok, I obviously have no idea about your problem - sorry :-)
[22:44] <gbear14275> no SMBIOS nor DMI entry point found, sorry
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> od3n_: you need to edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades to have Promt=normal rather than Prompt=lts
[22:44] <Celso__> sorry, lost my connection
[22:44] <newboon2age_> od3n_: i'm guessing that you need to switch the upgrade config to where it accepts nonLTS upgrades
[22:44] <Celso__> argh
[22:44] <gbear14275> anyone ever seen that before and by chance have an alternative?
[22:44] <Polatouche> guntbert: Thank you anyway!
[22:45] <SorayaUbuntu> xangua, i se never prompt to star or start program on media insertion ?
[22:45] <SorayaUbuntu> is that the one ?
[22:45] <Celso__> see this links
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> od3n_: you can then run: sudo apt-get install update-manager-core; sudo do-release-upgrade     and you will get maverick
[22:45] <Celso__> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics
[22:46] <gbear14275> no one, dmidecode error?
[22:46] <od3n_> ok I will try that
[22:46] <gbear14275> or an alternative?
[22:46] <Craig> hi
[22:47] <guntbert> !nickspam > Monotoko
[22:47] <gimpy2944> On Ubuntu 10.10 x64 I tried to have it remeber my currently open apps (under the statup apps dialog) and now when I log in I get my background and nothing else.  I already cleared out ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session to no avail.  Ideas?
[22:48] <SorayaUbuntu> how can i stop mount deveices from show on desktop,i have a panel app for that ?
[22:48] <Monotoko> guntbert, I know...I forgot I was in this channel
[22:48] <SorayaUbuntu> i dont want short cuts from automaunt devices on desktop
[22:48] <Celso__> cause if i get that comand working there is no need to use scripts to shutdown and login
[22:49] <Celso__> i'm trying to make it more "clean"
[22:50] <newboon2age_> od3n_: ActionParsnip and i are saying the same thing.  so if you don't want to do command line stuff, you can do the same thing in GUI by System->Synaptic->Settings->Repositories->Updates->Release Upgrade->Show new distribution releases: Normal Releases
[22:50]  * { now owns a single char nickname
[22:51] <od3n_> yeah I was trying to do it via cmd line but I dont have rights to the file so I have to change that first
[22:51] <gimpy2944> od3n: Use the sudo command for that.
[22:51] <{> od3n_, you want to use sudo before the command for admin commands
[22:51] <newboon2age_> od3n_: addendum to above "System->Aministration->Synaptic->..."
[22:52] <od3n_> yeah I got that thanks
[22:52] <Dr_Willis> SorayaUbuntu:  theres some gnome/gconf setting for that. the Ubuntu Tweak utility has a gui/check box to toggle the feature i recall.
[22:54] <oliver_> hello

[22:56] <OerHeks> drizzt_, skipping that check is odd, why do you need to skip this ?
[22:56] <preller> what's the easiest way to get exfat support on 10.1ß0
[22:56] <preller> 10.10
[22:57] <guntbert> SorayaUbuntu: /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible in gconf-editor
[22:57] <drizzt_> OerHeks, because it's 3.2 GB which is too much
[22:57] <BluesKaj> what bug crerates this  permission error  " no write access to /home/user/.ICEauthority "  ?
[22:57] <goer> Im still trying to get url/links to stay on my Panel (after reboot). Any ideas?
[22:58] <Dr_Willis> oliver_:  can you access the cd from the icon on the desktop? or from the places menu? or the computer:/// path?/location
[22:58] <SorayaUbuntu> gunbert, i see but i did that and now i cant have the option to make images
[22:58] <Dwade09> hey guys my sound just all a sudden stopped working, what do i do?
[22:58] <Dr_Willis> !sound
[22:58] <guntbert> BluesKaj: usually a user who ran a GUI app with sudo instead of gksudo :-)
[22:58] <Dwade09> Dr_Willis,  already done that.
[22:58] <OerHeks> olivier, found old post, there is a patch since 2008 http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5040031&postcount=2
[22:58] <SorayaUbuntu> Dwade09, do you have equalizer ?
[22:59] <guntbert> SorayaUbuntu: what images?
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> oliver_: mount the install CD then run: wine /path/to/install.exe
[22:59] <Dwade09> SorayaUbuntu,  i was watching something on hulu sound worked great, when i closed it went to you tube no sound nor does movies nor does music.
[22:59] <SorayaUbuntu> guntbert, to make a image of the mounted cd
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> oliver_: i suggest you read the appdb for wine as it has a VERY detailed install method
[23:00] <OerHeks> drizzt_, i do not understand, 3,2 gb is too much ?
[23:00] <guntbert> SorayaUbuntu: try it from nautilus?
[23:00] <Dwade09> SorayaUbuntu,  it just stopped working out of the blue for no reason.
[23:00] <SorayaUbuntu> guntbert, nop i did try
[23:00] <guntbert> SorayaUbuntu: then why don't you want to have the icon?
[23:01] <SorayaUbuntu> guntbert, because i have icon on panel

[23:01] <SorayaUbuntu> i have automount pannel app
[23:01] <Habstinat> jfv34: So am I supposed to install bootp and edit /epc/bootptab on the client machine? I'm already running Ubuntu 10.04 via Wubi on the client by the way.
[23:02] <SorayaUbuntu> Dwade09, there u go
[23:02] <drizzt_> yes it's nearly twice more then necessary, and installer doesn't allow ro continue
[23:02] <OerHeks> drizzt_, are you using the alternate installer ?
[23:02] <guntbert> SorayaUbuntu: to create an image of a CD use brasero : disc copy
[23:03] <drizzt_> no just ubiquity frok livecd
[23:04] <SorayaUbuntu> guntbert,ok thanks
[23:04] <lrf0808_> Good morning everyone
[23:04] <guntbert> SorayaUbuntu: you're welcome :-)

[23:13] <drizzt_> how to make 10.10 installer to skip free space check??? that lame one with ticks
[23:15] <gnubie> gimpy2944;  you have a desktop with background only, have you tried killall gnome-panel
[23:15] <goer> Dr_Willis: hi. Im still trying to get url/links to stay on my Panel (after reboot) Tried launcher with firefox url but after eboot icon is gone from Panel or Drawer. Hmm
[23:16] <DuckMaestro> where on the hd is the binary for the onscreen keyboard?   my keyboard is not working atm
[23:16] <jep1985> /usr/bin/binary /bin/binary /usr/local/bin/binary
[23:16] <jep1985> do you know the name of the program for the OSK?
[23:16] <DuckMaestro> no
[23:17] <gimpy2944> gnubie: That says no process was found.
[23:17] <jep1985> binary is onboard
[23:17] <jep1985> try /usr/bin/onboard
[23:18] <jep1985> this is the default "stock" OSK in 10.10
[23:18] <gnubie> gimpy2944;  are you in console mode now?
[23:18] <leagris> Hello, Is there a way of accessing a remote ipp print server requiering authenticated user using cups. Each time I try adding a user name to uri like ipp:user@server/printer the user get stripped. What is the solution?
[23:18] <DuckMaestro> jep1985: ty got it
[23:18] <jep1985> np
[23:18] <gimpy2944> gnubie: I'm SSH'd in.
[23:21] <scorchgeek> hmm, my F2 through F4 keys don't work in one terminal program, byobu...they work just fine in midnight commander
[23:21] <scorchgeek> and they also work through putty ssh localhost
[23:21] <scorchgeek> what could be set up wrong?
[23:21] <gnubie> gimpy2944;  never have used ssh, but when I log straight in and have only a background I can right click and start a terminal from which the command will resore my taskbars, etc.
[23:22] <gimpy2944> gnubie: Right click does nothing at all.
[23:23] <Habstinat> So I found an old CD that I burned Ubuntu 9.10 to a while back. When I try to edit the contents, I get a message saying that the disk is read only. S'pose I'll have to find a new disk...?
[23:23] <jep1985> you can't edit the contents of a burnt disc
[23:23] <jep1985> 99% of the time it's a closed session
[23:23] <jep1985> the ROM in CD ROM stands for Read Only Memory
[23:23] <veleno> hello. is there something strange in this mounting table for an ubuntu server http://pastie.org/1295947 ?
[23:24] <jep1985> you'll have to copy the contents of the disk to a folder on your hard drive to edit the files
[23:24] <Habstinat> jep1985, so I guess I can't clear it either?
[23:24] <yeats> Habstinat: you can install from 9.10 and upgrade, but you'll have to download a new ISO to install a newer version
[23:24] <jep1985> Read Only
[23:24] <jep1985> if it's RW that's rewritable
[23:24] <jep1985> so no, you can't clear a CD ROM disk
[23:24] <jep1985> once it's burnt, it's final
[23:24] <Habstinat> yeats: How would I go about doing that?
[23:25] <jep1985> i suggest using USB media to install OS files
[23:25] <jep1985> cheaper than buying CDs over and over
[23:25] <yeats> !download | Habstinat
[23:25] <Habstinat> jep1985: Don't have any flash drives.
[23:25] <gnubie> gimpy2944;  I don't know what ssh allows you to do
[23:25] <jep1985> you can purchase them fairly cheap, if you're in the USA walmart has 4GB models for ~12$
[23:26] <Habstinat> yeats: I know how to download it, I meant how I could upgrade once I have the newer .iso on 9.10.
[23:26] <drizzt_> how to use natty repos?
[23:26] <ronandi> In anonymous ftp, I guess typically servers ask users to use their email as their password. Where is this email written though? I can't find the file
[23:26] <jep1985> ubuntu 9.10 is a downgrade from ubuntu 10.04
[23:26] <jep1985> in the Ubuntu release name, the first number is the year, second is the month
[23:26] <jep1985> i.e. 9.10 is 2009, October, 10.04 is 2009, April
[23:27] <Habstinat> jep1985, I know that, I was wondering how to upgrade from 9.10 to 10.10...? I have a 9.10 disk burned already.
[23:27] <jep1985> you should be alble to upgrade ubuntu with the update-manager program
[23:27] <jep1985> oh
[23:27] <yeats> Habstinat: after you install, you should automatically be prompted to upgrade
[23:27] <jep1985> ^
[23:27] <Habstinat> yeats: Ok. Thanks.
[23:27] <Habstinat> I'll try this now.
[23:27] <scorchgeek> Habstinat: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade should work as well iirc
[23:27] <jep1985> says something like "A new distribution upgrade" is available
[23:27] <yeats> Habstinat: good luck
[23:27] <jep1985> will say 10.04, 10.10, etc
[23:28] <zifnab> okay, so i'm having problems getting sudo to preserve a users path
[23:28] <jep1985> dist-upgrade seems to only upgrade the kernel for me, not the base files =/
[23:28] <zifnab> i have env_reset and env_keep+="PATH" in sudoers
[23:28] <yeats> Habstinat: and there's no direct upgrade path to 10.10, but 10.04 is a solid release :-)
[23:28] <jep1985> i.e. "cat /etc/issue" still returns ubuntu 10.04
[23:28] <zifnab> and sudo sudo -V shows path should be kept
[23:28] <zifnab> anyone have any ideas?
[23:29] <leagris> Please Someone know of a workaround forcing authentification on remote ipp printer. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/160978?comments=all reopened.
[23:29] <enigm4> does anyone know of a comprehensive list of nvidia cards most compatible with Ubuntu 10.04?
[23:29] <mtro> Excuse me. I'm new to using linux, and I'm definately starting to like it more than Win7. However I'm having a lot of problems with my video driver. It seems like I need to install envyng-core, but apt-get doesn't find it. I've downloaded it otherwise, but I'm not sure what to do with it to get it installed. Could someone help me?
[23:29] <jep1985> enigm4 Ubuntu has a Hardware Compatibility List
[23:29] <zifnab> mtro: is the file a .deb?
[23:30] <zifnab> dpkg -i packagename.deb will do it
[23:30] <jep1985> enigm4: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport/
[23:30] <enigm4> awesome thanks jep1985
[23:30] <goer> I'm still trying to get url/links to stay on my Panel (after reboot) Tried launcher with firefox url but after eboot icon is gone from Panel or Drawer.  Anyone?

[23:33] <methods> yep
[23:33] <methods> been following the guide
[23:33] <goku_> is there an easy way to configure dhcp3 and  bind9?

[23:36] <jep1985> what mirror are you using?
[23:36] <jep1985> try us.archive.ubuntu.com rather than archive.ubuntu.com
[23:36] <jep1985> if you're in the US that is..
[23:36] <methods> http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/
[23:37] <scorchgeek> hmm, my F2 through F4 keys don't work in one terminal program, byobu (like screen)\--they work just fine in midnight commander...if I go to /bin/sh and type it I get ^[OQ, whether inside screen or outside.

[23:38] <zifnab> so anyone with that sudo problem (sudo not keeping a users path, even though env_keep is set to PATH?)
[23:39] <yeats> methods: I think you'll probably want to do a fresh install of whatever release you're trying to upgrade to....
[23:39] <methods> I'd rather now
[23:39] <methods> not
[23:40] <jep1985> methods: can you give me your sources.list?

[23:43] <xenos> so everything seems to work just straight out of the box
[23:43] <xenos> sweet
[23:43] <jep1985> just remove the old-releases.ubuntu.com and put ubuntu.osuosl.org instead
[23:43] <yeats> !ask | fgj
[23:43] <methods> jep1985:  i can't even run upate with that one
[23:43] <yeats> fgj: sorry - didn't see that you had already asked ;-)
[23:44] <jep1985> with the osuosl mirror?
[23:44] <fgj> Thanks yeats :)
[23:44] <methods> yes
[23:44] <jep1985> pastebin me your sources.list
[23:44] <jep1985> installing 9.10 in a VM right now
[23:44] <xenos> fgj: you're looking for native linux or wine (aka windows based games ported to linux, eg starcraft) ?
[23:44] <methods> http://pastie.org/1295985
[23:44] <fgj> xenos, native Linux.. Ubuntu 9.10
[23:45] <jep1985> methods, i'm going to PM you
[23:45] <xenos> fgj: have you tried updating to 10.10 ?
[23:45] <xenos> I seem to have no problem with video, and TYPICALLY i do.
[23:45] <methods> fgj: i ported a game to linux
[23:45] <methods> http://fly.thruhere.net
[23:46] <fgj> xenos, i'm sorry i have 10.10 the newest. and the thing is that im a total noob in linux. But ive tried Nexuiz and the graphics is messed up. Tryed Tux racer also. and it also gives poor result. By graphics card is Radeon X1200
[23:47] <tr3nton> !mp3lib
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> fgj: are there switches you can run on tuxracer?
[23:48] <dfnv> Hi all, is there any documentation out there that might help me figure out how to use packages for Lucid in Maverick?
[23:48] <tr3nton> is mplayer the only player that uses mp3lib (as opposed the proprietery mp3 libraries)
[23:48] <tr3nton> !mp3
[23:48] <dev001> planet ubuntu's rss feed is, apparently, broken.  is there an IRC chan that that can be reported in/to?
[23:48] <fgj> ActionParsnip, I don't know what you mean. I'm just trying to get my graphics to work for the games one way or the other..
[23:48] <tr3nton> i.e. mplayer can play them, but others can't i.e. rhythmbox
[23:48] <ActionParsnip> fgj: try: man tuxracer    or whatever the command is to start the app
[23:49] <sapiens__> hi
[23:49] <sapiens__> i have ubuntu 10.10
[23:49] <sagaci> sapiens__: cool
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> tr3nton: install ubuntu-restricted-extras and all plays should be ok, also install vlc and w32codecs (I assume 32bit OS)
[23:50] <sapiens__> and i have an atheros AR9285
[23:50] <aeMaeth> people yelled at me and called me a fool when i mentioned w32codecs
[23:50] <tr3nton> ActionParsnip: ok thanks.. I just thought if mplayer can play them, you think the other players would be able to
[23:50] <sapiens__> and a Zydas usb wifi
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> tr3nton: usually there is a central use of codecs, so I'm suprised its not flying
[23:51] <fgj> ActionParsnip,  Is there no easy way with menus to install or something? i don't know how to program. Can't stuff like that not be fixed with drivers, addons or menus??? I'm no
[23:51] <leagris> Please Someone know of a workaround forcing authentification on remote ipp printer. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/system-config-printer/+bug/160978?comments=all reopened.
[23:52] <sapiens__> ath doesn't work, i can connect to <IP_ADDRESS> but i can't visit any other web.
[23:52] <alex88> hi guys..i'm booted on livecd to a pc with marvell sata6 controller with 2 hdd in raid0..
[23:52] <alex88> and it says it can't find drives..any help?
[23:52] <sapiens__> Zydas works with the same configuration as Atheros
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> fgj: you'll need to use terminal
[23:53] <gogeta1> ActionParsnip: you knoe anything abought netbooks
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> fgj: once you work out the switches you can add it to the menu item
[23:53] <ActionParsnip> gogeta1: in what sense?
[23:53] <gogeta1> ActionParsnip: eepc had a feature in its defult os it would auto lvm a sd card to expand stoage
[23:53] <Teh_Chaos> hello, I'm installing Ubuntu for the first time, planning on using it as a secondary OS to Windows, and planning to use Wine with it, how much space should I allot for it?
[23:53] <soufiane> salut
[23:53] <gogeta1> ActionParsnip: just orderd a teanssend 8gb class 6 for my 4gb eee
[23:53] <yeats> Teh_Chaos: how much space do you have?
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> gogeta1: never used lvm personally
[23:54] <fgj> ActionParsnip, i have no interest or no time to get into heavy programing. I have games i want to play. Such as nexuiz. I run Ubuntu 10.10 with Radeon x1200 grapics card.. i hate programing and it takes alot of time... Dont want to get into it... just want to see if there is any obvious thing to look for such as addons. drivers or some other stuff that i should insall in order to get my graphics to work in games.!!!
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> fgj: its not programming at all
[23:54] <sagaci> Teh_Chaos: 10 gigabytes
[23:54] <sagaci> Teh_Chaos: but allocate more if you can
[23:54] <Teh_Chaos> yeats: A little over 100GB, but I'd like to not use it all. Basically space isn't an issue, but I'd like not to use too much.
[23:54] <aeMaeth> for games RTFM, they normally have a list of bugs and fixes
[23:55] <sagaci> Teh_Chaos: go 50gb
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> fgj: you just may need an extra switch or two to make things work so you need to experiment then apply findings to the gui item
[23:55] <bazhang> aeMaeth, dont use that language here. its not acceptable.
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> fgj: adding switches to an executable is HARDLY programming
[23:55] <goer> I hv dragged some urls from firefox bookmarks on to my Panel and Drawer there. But after reboot they are all gone except one. Why? How to fix pls?
[23:55] <yeats> Teh_Chaos: I agree with sagaci
[23:55] <aeMaeth> bazhang, read the fine manual?
[23:55] <Teh_Chaos> so about 50GB?
[23:55] <Teh_Chaos> alright, thanks
[23:55] <bazhang> aeMaeth, just dont.
[23:55] <yeats> Teh_Chaos: it depends largely on what you're hoping to do
[23:56] <Teh_Chaos> well, mainly because a lot of the programming we're doing requires Ubuntu is why I'm installing it, but I'd like to have Wine w/ it too.
[23:56] <yeats> Teh_Chaos: 50GB would be a good start
[23:57] <sl33k_> how to change the directory to the disk drive?
[23:57] <sl33k_> i am in root
[23:57] <fgj> i have no interest or no time to get into heavy programing. I have games i want to play. Such as nexuiz. I run Ubuntu 10.10 with Radeon x1200 grapics card.. i hate programing and it takes alot of time... Dont want to get into it... just want to see if there is any obvious thing to look for such as addons. drivers or some other stuff that i should insall in order to get my graphics to work in games.!!!
[23:57] <scorchgeek> sl33k_: to what disk drive?
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> sl33k_: you need to mount the partition
[23:57] <bcurtiswx_> when I plug in my HDMI to my TV with ubuntu...  i get like 1920X10something and i want 1380X730 or whatever.. and I want to know how to add that to my options..
[23:58] <scorchgeek> if it's mounted, cd /media, ls, and then cd name_of_drive
[23:58] <sl33k_> scorchgeek: 79 GB Filesystem?
[23:58] <scorchgeek> sl33k_: it'll probably have some weird long name in that case, in my experience
[23:58] <sagaci> sl33k_: should be under the /media directory
[23:58] <sagaci> sl33k_: so cd /media ; ls
[23:58] <sapiens__> help! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug
[23:59] <sapiens__> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/535222
[23:59] <sl33k_> and how to mount the other drives?
[23:59] <scorchgeek> mount [drive] [partition] but you have to know the /dev name of the drive you want to mount
[23:59] <bcurtiswx_> when I plug in my HDMI to my TV with ubuntu...  i get like 1920X10something and i want 1380X730 or whatever but it's not available.. and I want to know how to add that to my options..
[23:59] <sagaci> sl33k_: either through places or using the mount command


[15:51] <AlanBell> ping Pici
[17:32] <dutchie> I believe wolter has asked about getting an ubottu (clone) in #ubuntu-manual
[17:33] <wolter> ah, yes.. I asked tsimpson
[17:33] <wolter> !botclone
[17:33] <dutchie> would it be possible for one of ubot4 or ubot2` to join it if ubottu itself is overworked?
[17:33] <dutchie> otherwise, I don't mind hosting it myself, just want to make sure of the etiquette of running a bot
[17:34] <tsimpson> we could assign one of ubot2`, ubot4, or ukbot if you just want simple factoid lookup and bug tracking
[17:34] <tsimpson> ok, so not ukbot ;)
[17:34] <dutchie> ;)
[17:34] <dutchie> yeah, I don't think we need anything more than that to be honest
[17:35] <wolter> yeah
[17:35] <wolter> just a simple bot that would help out with factoids
[17:35] <wolter> and stuff
[17:35] <wolter> maybe flood control? I don't know... it is not a need right now
[17:35] <dutchie> the bug lookup thing is handy too
[17:35] <wolter> but these last weeks a lot of flooding has been going on at several channels
[17:36] <dutchie> flood control could be done by modes on the channel iirc
[17:36] <wolter> yeah, very handy.. in general, we want the most interaction possible between the bot and our launchpad team page
[17:36] <wolter> oh ok, I am a little ignorant as you can see ;)
[17:36] <dutchie> I don't mind maintaining a slight fork if we need custom wiki stuff
[17:38] <dutchie> do I need to do anything special to run a bot?
[17:39] <tsimpson> you'll need supybot first, and python-sqlite for Encyclopedia (factoids)
[17:39] <dutchie> do I need clearance from freenode or anything like that?
[17:39] <tsimpson> no
[17:40] <dutchie> right, I'll take a look thanks
[17:40] <tsimpson> you'll also need to install python-soappy for Bugtracker
[17:41] <tsimpson> you just setup supybot (using supybot-wizard), make sure to say yes when it asks about adding another plugins directory. and choose something like '@' for the character the bot will respond to
[17:41] <tsimpson> then checkout the plugins to your custom plugin directory and have fun trying to make it work :)
[17:42] <dutchie> :)
[17:47] <DJones> dutchie: Have a look at http://ubottu.com/guide/ I used that getting a clone working, it covered most things that were needed
[17:47] <wolter> haha that "trying" didn't sound very nice
[17:47] <dutchie> it'll give me something interesting to do this evening :)
[17:49] <tsimpson> it's a old and incomplete guide, I know, I wrote it :)
[17:49] <tsimpson> but it should get you started
[17:49] <tsimpson> (a new, more complete guide is planned)
[17:50] <DJones> tsimpson: I think I only found two things that weren't mention and that was installing a couple of extra packages for the plugins, apart from that it was good and very helpful
[17:52] <DJones> and I think those packages could well be default installs in a server edition and it was just a home machine that hadn't previously needed them
[17:57] <tsimpson> it was written in 2008 I think, so there's bound to be stuff missing
[18:02] <Ddorda> Hey all, I have an important thing to talk with someone who's related to the LoCos
[18:07] <tsimpson> Ddorda: #ubuntu-locoteams may be helpful
[18:08] <Ddorda> tsimpson: no one answer in there
[18:10] <tsimpson> Ddorda: you can always emial the LoCo Council if required<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[18:10] <Ddorda> tsimpson: very serious, thanks a lot
[18:11] <Ddorda> tsimpson: where can I join this list?
[18:13] <tsimpson> you don't need to join it, you can just post to it
[18:14] <Ddorda> tsimpson: but I want to see the answers.. will I get answers?
[18:14] <tsimpson> they'll add you to the To or Cc
[18:54] <m4v> JigabuMemin was trolling in #u-es, /whois shows he's in #ubuntu and #u-ot
[18:57] <jpds> m4v: He's gone.
[22:07] <dutchie> hey, just checking out some supybot plugins. Do you know where I might get http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins#Svn?
[22:09] <tsimpson> not sure I've published it
[22:10] <dutchie> doesn't seem to be in the lp:ubuntu-bots branch
[22:10] <tsimpson> it's in my experimental branch https://code.launchpad.net/~tsimpson/ubuntu-bots/experimental
[22:10] <dutchie> great, thanks
[22:11] <dutchie> also, where do the factoids that are in the moderation queue end up?
[22:12] <tsimpson> there is no actual queue, they just get forwarded to supybot.plugins.Encyclopedia.relaychannel
[22:13] <dutchie> will sticking a nick to pm in there work? (ie mine)
[22:13] <tsimpson> sure
[22:13] <dutchie> excellent
[22:58] <humphreybc> hey, so I created the #ubuntu-manual channel which was sweet and I was an OP for a while till i logged out for the first time. How do I make myself an OP in the channel automagically so I can change the topic?
[23:13] <humphreybc> nevermind


[19:48] <MK`> Is this channel only for Japanese speakers?
[19:55] <MK`> Well I will just ask my question
[19:57] <MK`> There are some Japanese characters in unicode that seem to be switched in ubuntu, no matter what application or font I use. Where I can I search through reported bugs maybe? It's the combining dakuten and handakuten. a) あ゙     b) あ゛     | a) is the combining character, and acts as such on my friends' assorted windows installations, but it shows opposite for me, with b) combining
[19:57] <MK`> I checked in many fonts and it's all the same, even the same fonts they used on windows
[20:57] <MK`> i'll check back later


[01:18] <mitchell> I forgot my launchpad account password, and my email provider is out of service.  would an admin please help me fix my account?
[02:10] <wgrant> mitchell: You'll see a support link at the bottom of the login page.
[02:10] <wgrant> They can assist you.
[03:21] <sergio-br2> hello
[03:23] <sergio-br2> i'm wanting to know, how can I identify armhf build in debian/rules ?
[03:23] <sergio-br2> servers in launchpad do a cross compiler to arm, right?
[03:27] <wgrant> dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH
[03:27] <wgrant> But DEB_BUILD_ARCH and DEB_HOST_ARCH will always match on Launchpad today. We use qemu-user; we do not cross-compile.
[03:31] <sergio-br2> uname -m is other possibility?
[03:31] <sergio-br2> a friend got armv7l with it
[03:31] <wgrant> Why would you use that?
[03:32] <wgrant> The DEB_HOST_* variables provided by dpkg-architecture are the only things you can rely on.
[03:32] <wgrant> uname -m will usually happen to do the right thing on Launchpad, but nothing new should be relying on that.
[03:33] <wgrant> dpkg-architecture is for exactly this purpose.
[03:33] <sergio-br2> nah, the first you told is better, right?
[03:34] <sergio-br2> so, in the rules, i use DEB_HOST_ARCH ?
[03:35] <sergio-br2> or
[03:35] <sergio-br2> ifeq ($(shell dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH),armhf)
[03:39] <wgrant> That sort of thing, yes.
[03:49] <sergio-br2> ok
[03:49] <sergio-br2> could you see this? https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/256077
[03:49] <sergio-br2> i'm wanting to build packages for armhf
[03:57] <wgrant> sergio-br2: Done.
[03:58] <sergio-br2> :)
[03:59] <sergio-br2> so i can build arm packages now?
[04:00] <wgrant> Yes.
[04:03] <sergio-br2> thanks
[04:47] <sergio-br2> wgrant, so using Architecture: any, it'll compile for the 3 architectures ?
[05:04] <sergio-br2> i have a package here, that depends in nvidia-cg-dev and nvidia-cg-toolkit, but it depends only in PC architecture
[05:04] <sergio-br2> without the nvidia-cg-dev, i get a problem to build
[05:04] <sergio-br2> but not in arm.
[05:05] <sergio-br2> Are there any way in debian/control to use nvidia-cg-dev | dummy or no-package ?
[05:06] <sergio-br2> i don't know if it's possible to have a build-depend exclusive for one architecture
[05:07] <StevenK> sergio-br2: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html
[05:08] <sergio-br2> ah, I have to use a !
[05:08] <sergio-br2> ok
[05:09] <sergio-br2> thanks!
[05:09] <StevenK> sergio-br2: You're welcome
[05:10] <sergio-br2> so for armhf
[05:10] <sergio-br2> nvidia-cg-dev [!armhf]
[05:11] <sergio-br2> since this package is not in armhf repo
[05:11] <StevenK> You can do the converse, nvidia-cg-dev [i386 amd64]
[05:11] <StevenK> Instead
[05:12] <sergio-br2> hum, yeah
[14:21] <PLoctaux> Hello!
[14:22] <PLoctaux> I have a question : I have a .c file, and I want to publish it to my ppa (It's my first time) Anyone knows how to do that?
[14:26] <teward> PLoctaux: package your C file as an actual built executable binary.  http://packaging.ubuntu.com/html/ is relevant.
[14:27] <teward> and by 'package' i mean as a Debian package, not as just the executable
[14:27] <PLoctaux> teward, Thanks! I appreciate that!
[14:59] <teward> totally honest yet stupid question - when will PPAs be able to build for Vivid?
[15:01] <cjwatson> teward: before end of week
[15:06] <wgrant> Once vivid exists :)
[15:07] <cjwatson> I think my previous answer stands too :)
[15:07] <cjwatson> unless you know of a reason we can't break our record
[15:07] <wgrant> I don't see why we can't have it done this evening if we try :)
[15:27] <sergio-br2> hello
[15:30] <sergio-br2> I want to know if there are problems building packages for arm with neon enabled
[17:50] <ki7mt> Hello All, quick quesiton. I'm packaging a project that requires downloading the SRC packages from Sourceforge, and one HTML from a WEB URL. This all works as expected using pbuilder on my devel machine. I've nto set it to Launchpad to build as I was told, server builds cannot download anything in order to build a package, is this true?
[17:50] <ki7mt> .. not sent it to LP . ..
[17:52] <cjwatson> That's right, you can't fetch external network objects in Launchpad builds; you have to put copies in your source package (for example, automatically fetch them when you build your source package) or put them in other packages that you build-depend on.
[17:53] <cjwatson> The build servers are firewalled such that they can only fetch anything from a very limited number of hosts.
[17:53] <ki7mt> cjwatson, Ok, thanks. I thought that was the case, but needed official confirmation so i could pass that to the upstream dev's
[17:56] <lazyPower> is there any particular reason that launchpad is being finicky on letting me file a bug against a juju charm bundle? http://i.imgur.com/RORkawI.png
[17:56] <lazyPower> i followed the link from this resource to file the bug: https://code.launchpad.net/~bigdata-charmers/charms/bundles/high-peformance-batch-processing/bundle
[17:56] <lazyPower> when i choose "I dont know" it just 500 errors and refuses to do anything helpful wrt to letting me file a bug
[18:47] <teward> cjwatson: wgrant: heh.  Just wonderin, because I'd like to publish an nginx update for vivid to the nginx ppas, but i'm pretty patient.  :)
