[17:29] <Albert_> hi all can anyone help me with vpn for ubuntu 10.10
[17:29] <Quantum_Ion> airtonix, I use rsync to back up my files most Ubuntu Linux users don't
[17:30] <mcmlxxix> e.g. let the fools upgrade blindly (like myself) and expose the bugs
[17:30] <blackshirt> @Albert: using openvpn
[17:30] <kpoman> blackshirt: cool ! that one seems to work better
[17:30] <airtonix> Quantum_Ion, im using back-in-time (which i think uses rsync )
[17:30] <Quantum_Ion> mcmlxxix, expose the bugs if you have time for it
[17:30] <mcmlxxix> im going to see if i can use wubi in combination with ext2fsd to overwrite my current installation of 10.10 on the ext3 volume
[17:31] <mcmlxxix> i forsee epic failure
[17:31] <Thisistode> I have a winodws xp .iso and I want to make it into a bootable USB installer
[17:31] <Thisistode> Help
[17:31] <PeterNL> mcmlxxix: sure you want to screw your current setup? there's no way back...

[17:32] <Quantum_Ion> 1.always make sure you have a usb external harddrive it will save you a lot of time in case your primary drive fails and make regular backups
[17:32] <mcmlxxix> otherwise i'd just do it the right way from the machine itself
[17:32] <kpoman> blackshirt: big error again ! :( please help !
[17:33] <markben> Quantum_Ion: or you can trt Ubuntu One or Dropbox.  They work like simple offsite backups.

[17:37] <jiffe1> is there a way to find out what parameters are being used with configure to build a package?
[17:37] <ka1ser> whats the best tftp server (deamon) out there? I used to use one in the past but it worked through xinetd... is there anything more direct? perhaps with a front-end there as well?
[17:37] <slipp3d> I'm having an isues with bluetooth (not connecting or dropping the connections) any thoughts on where to start with fixing this?

[17:41] <IdleOne> livingdaylight: http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/instruction_prn1a.html
[17:41] <blackshirt1> kpoman : can you paste your sources.list contents ??
[17:41] <Guest96007> hello?
[17:42] <zth> im using ubuntu studio but my grub seems messed up, there's no way for me to enter a menu and choose what kernel to boot from? all that happens is that ticking _ and pressing various buttons (esc space and so on) don't help at all. what to do?
[17:42] <livingdaylight> IdleOne, yes, that's the one I installed back when I was using Lucid. It worked. However, as I said, since upgrade to Meerkat it now no longer sees the scanner. I've gone to that page and re-downloaded but gebi installer tells me they're already installed. So, what could be the problem?
[17:43] <wroby> can someone give me a config file for a tomcat server
[17:43] <noob-tux> been using ubuntu distro but i still don't know lots of things...hehehe....can anyone give me some things to do around ubuntu? hehehe
[17:43]  * mcmlxxix curiously awaits the result of this experiment
[17:44] <Maahes> I'm having a weird issue: I added the ubuntu-kernel ppa to my sources, and synaptic shows it in my sources under the repositories tab, but does not show it as a source under origion, and no new packages are available
[17:45] <Maahes> noob-tux: what kinds of things would you like to do?
[17:45] <noob-tux> i dunno
[17:45] <blackshirt1> kpoman: still here ?
[17:45] <noob-tux> :(
[17:45] <noob-tux> i'm done doing 3D desktop
[17:45] <ka1ser> whats the best tftp server (deamon) out there? I used to use one in the past but it worked through xinetd... is there anything more direct? perhaps with a front-end there as well?
[17:45] <noob-tux> all i wanna know is compiling but i dunno
[17:46] <fazzil> why my compiz didnt work?
[17:46] <poopuser> Hi all. How can I disable the "You can't do that" sound?
[17:46] <IdleOne> livingdaylight: don't know, something probably changed in Maverick. Maybe report a bug to Brother
[17:46] <sweetozkelli>
[17:46] <ubuntu> hi
[17:47] <kpoman> blackshirt1: yes, still here, just a minute
[17:47] <Maahes> noob-tux: compiling is a little different for each software package. Some require autoconf, others require different make utils, the best way to learn how to compile is to find a package you want to install from source, and follow the instructions in the README file for that package in its source directory
[17:48]  * mcmlxxix wonders why wubi is downloading ubuntu-10.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
[17:48] <mcmlxxix> since my system is 32 bit intel :|
[17:48] <livingdaylight> IdleOne, i note that the link you gave doesn't say anything about ubuntu 10.10
[17:48] <Maahes> mcmlxxix: what's your system specs?
[17:48] <Maahes> intel will run amd64 btw.
[17:48] <livingdaylight> IdleOne, do you think reinstalling would/could fix it?
[17:48] <mcmlxxix> maahes: p4 3.2 ghz
[17:49] <Maahes> it referrs to amd's 64bit extensions to x86
[17:49] <IdleOne> livingdaylight: worth a shot for sure
[17:49] <mcmlxxix> ah.. ok
[17:49] <noob-tux> Maahes: thanx i'll try to download ubuntu manual for dummies i might learn things from it :)
[17:49] <mcmlxxix> fair enough
[17:49] <livingdaylight> IdleOne, so when Gdebi installer tells me that it is already installed - click on 'reinstall' ?
[17:49] <Maahes> mcmlxxix: but you should be able to tell wubi to install 32bit
[17:50] <IdleOne> livingdaylight: yes and also check to see you have brscan installed
[17:50] <Maahes> I'm having a weird issue: I added the ubuntu-kernel ppa to my sources, and synaptic shows it in my sources under the repositories tab, but does not show it as a source under origion, and no new packages are available
[17:50] <kpoman> blackshirt1: where do I download a sources.list ? pelase
[17:51] <livingdaylight> IdleOne, gdebi told me both are installed - remember the printer works... its the scanner that is not 'seen'
[17:51] <Maahes> kpoman: why are you trying to download a sources.list?
[17:51] <mcmlxxix> maahes: didnt see that option, though I didnt try looking for any configuration beyond the UI
[17:51] <jiffe1> is there a way to find out what parameters are being used with configure to build a package?
[17:51] <Protocol84> ok I have 1 HDD with 2 partitions, first one has ubuntu secon has UE how do I get rid of the first one and expand my second one to fill the space, without messing everything up?
[17:51] <kpoman> Maahes: because everything if broken
[17:51] <IdleOne> livingdaylight: what does gksudo xsane report?
[17:52] <jg47hm> guys im trying to install windows 7 above ubundu. when i put the disc in the cdrom and says that my system has ext4  and i need ntfs. how to make linux ntfs and install windows????? (please help)
[17:53] <blackshirt1> kpoman: where are you come from ??
[17:53] <mcmlxxix> found a "10 things to do after installing ubuntu 10.10" list
[17:53] <spacebug-> jg47hm: you can't have them on the same partition
[17:53] <Poizhan> jg47hm:You need seperate partitions.
[17:53] <Protocol84> umm I thounk you are suppise to install windows first then ubuntu
[17:53] <livingdaylight> IdleOne, nothing happens. should printer be on?
[17:53] <mcmlxxix> number 11 should be "reinstall 10.04"
[17:53] <Maahes> jg47hm: make a new partition of unallocated space using gparted, install windows there, you may have to manually add windows to grub
[17:53] <IdleOne> livingdaylight: you might need to install xsane first
[17:53] <Buttons840> i'm frustrated with ssh/scp and rsync, they always stall, and when i kill the transfer and reissue the command it starts right up - it's as though one packet got lost and it give up completely and just sits there...?
[17:54] <Netronix_> yop !
[17:54] <IdleOne> livingdaylight: and yes the printer should be turned on
[17:54] <jg47hm> Maahes> how to make new partition with ntfs file system (in details please im amateur)
[17:55] <livingdaylight> IdleOne, simple-scan was installed and printer/scanner worked previously in 10.04. Could Ubuntu have removed xsane during upgrade?
[17:55] <goltoof> i'm still running 10.04... Is there a specific command to upgrade the system to 10.10?
[17:55] <blackshirt1> jg47hm:
[17:55] <okaycool> i had got this working few years ago, but i forgot. I have this laptop with synaptic touchpad whose keyboard/touchpad does not work on ubuntu, except sometimes.
[17:55] <okaycool> when i do acpi=off and something else like disabling the audio it works.
[17:56] <IdleOne> livingdaylight: it may have but I doubt it.
[17:56] <blackshirt1> goltool: you can using update-manager or apt-get upgrade
[17:56] <okaycool> what was that other parameter to provide while boot i forgot
[17:56] <jg47hm> blackshirt1: ???
[17:56] <livingdaylight> IdleOne, then I don't see how that will now make simple-scan recognize scanner
[17:56] <blackshirt1> you mean make ntfs partition from linux ??
[17:56] <IdleOne> livingdaylight: unfortunately I am having similar issues with my brother scanner. Not having much luck getting it to work here either
[17:56] <goltoof>  blackshirt1   sudo apt-get upgrade doesn not upgrade the system
[17:57] <goltoof>  blackshirt1   to  10.10
[17:57] <jehn> How can I get my " 00:0e.0 Ethernet Controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co.,Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+(rev10)" working??
[17:57] <blackshirt1> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[17:57] <Maahes> jg47hm: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/resize/resizing.htm and http://gparted.sourceforge.net/larry/generalities/gparted.htm the first one tells you how to resize an existing partition, and the second how to make a new partition
[17:57] <blackshirt1> or update-manager
[17:57] <Maahes> (as well as everything else about gparted, in general)
[17:57] <neiz> quick question: Ubuntu 10.10: I have two monitors.  Is there a way to get a taskbar on the second monitor? (panel along the bottom of 2nd screen)
[17:57] <goltoof>  blackshirt1, still nada
[17:58] <okaycool> was there something like ro splash quiet for boot parameter/
 thanks
[17:58] <okaycool> ?
[17:58] <livingdaylight> IdleOne, oh! you got one too.... they're lovely printers, but not greatly complatible with Linux unfortunately. All the more why I'm gutted as it was running smoothly printer and scanner in Lucid Lynx.
[17:58] <livingdaylight> IdleOne, hate when upgrading breaks stuff
[17:58] <Maahes> I'm having a weird issue: I added the ubuntu-kernel ppa to my sources, and synaptic shows it in my sources under the repositories tab, but does not show it as a source under origion, and no new packages are available
[17:58] <helpp> heys need help, how to increase the brightness?
[17:58] <goltoof> blackshirt1,  update manager gives me nada... none of these methods upgrade the system to 10.10
[17:58] <enjalot> hey guys, just want to show off the 10.10 release party we had :) http://enja.org/2010/10/27/10-10-ubuntu-release-party-tallahassee-fl/
[17:58] <IdleOne> livingdaylight: I think this is something that changed in maverick and brother needs to fix to be compatible with 10.10.
[17:59] <blackshirt1> you must using 10.10 repository, run update and then upgrade
[17:59] <goltoof> blackshirt1,  how do i use said 10.10 repository?
[17:59] <Naznaz> Hey, some time ago, my login screen window where I can select the user isn't skinned anymore and looks totally ugly :-) How can I fix that? And is there a possibility to skin the whole GDM? It seems there was some time ago but it's gone with the new versions :(
[18:00] <IdleOne> livingdaylight: all I can say is email Brother (I assume they have a bug report process) and let them know what is going on. Also yes brother makes nice machines.
[18:00] <Gorlist1> Hi, just wondered how can I tell what firmware a device of mine is running?
[18:00] <blackshirt1> edit your sources.list in /etc/apt/sources.list to use maverick
[18:00] <blackshirt1> aka 10.10
[18:01] <helpp> if i want to decrease the brightness on battery  how ?
[18:01] <noob-tux> i got a usb drive...i put it on my xp desktop and my av detected a virus on it...but cannot be deleted....i pulled it out and i put it on my ubuntu am i safe? or i just did the dumbiest thing?
[18:01] <IdleOne> goltoof: what you need to do is go to Software Sources and change from LTS only to Normal Releases and then 10.10 will be offered
[18:01] <she_dyed> helpp: i'd try the BIOS settings first
[18:01] <antonia> heyy
[18:02] <helpp> she_dyed, thx
[18:02] <Maahes> I'm having a weird issue: I added the ubuntu-kernel ppa to my sources, and synaptic shows it in my sources under the repositories tab, but does not show it as a source under origion, and no new packages are available
[18:02] <madmax_x> noob-tux, no in ubuntu you can run the avast linux client on the drive to remove the virus or you can just wipe it completely
[18:02] <she_dyed> helpp: you're welcome
[18:04] <mcmlxxix> experiment failed, as predicted
[18:04] <MAXXI> oi
[18:04] <neiz_> goltoof: got d/c, but did that help?
[18:04] <goltoof> blackshirt1,  so change each line in sources.list to maverick?
[18:04] <mcmlxxix> i thought wubi would create a new ext partition
[18:04] <Bodsda> Hi, how can I grep for the string    -1     It keeps giving me the generic error to look at the help file when I do    ls -lahR | grep -1
[18:04] <IdleOne> goltoof: that can break your install. I don't recommend it
[18:05] <tripelb> Opinion/Suggestion for UbuntuL (sorry but I may never figure out the "official" channel for suggestions) Re Audio Gain control on the Panel. viz: I'd like (an option of?) + and - buttons to click. Or once vol. is opened a way to go by stages. (I'd like it vertical to but that's not what this comment is about.) As it is not it is difficult to control. It goes HIGH too easily. I may want to keep it quiet for friends in the room. Right n
[18:05] <tripelb> ow I do not even have the option to mute it then adjust it. MUTE it, It might help to have numbers on it so I can set a level I have liked before. I'd like to mute it with one click. Altogether it's considerably less sophisticated/comfortable/useful than I would like,less friendly/harmonious too. THanks for listening. I'd like Ubuntu to be easier to use. THis is a surface property but another one that could be a deal-breaker.
[18:05] <noob-tux> madmax_x: do i need to install avast linux? i dont have it here now
[18:05] <MAXXI> não consigo entrar no  jogo?
[18:05] <IdleOne> !br | MAXXI
[18:05] <noob-tux> !avast
[18:05] <MAXXI> obrigado
[18:05] <tripelb> avast! for Linux/Unix Servers is an antivirus solution for Linux and BSD environments, primarily intended for Linux (or BSD) based servers.
[18:05] <she_dyed> Bodsda: you might mean  \-1 not just -1
[18:06] <goltoof> IdleOne,  i like to try this from terminal, but if you recommend using Software Sources...  do i just change each source to maverick?
[18:06] <goltoof> neiz_,   didn't get your last message, sorry
[18:06] <tripelb> Does Ubuntu get viruses????? !!
[18:06] <goltoof> tripelb,  no :)
[18:06] <she_dyed> tripelb: you miss them already?
[18:06] <IdleOne> goltoof: in Software Sources click the Updates tab, at the bottom you will see LTS release only, change that to Normal Releases
[18:06] <Bodsda> she_dyed: cheers, that got me to the right place, "\-1" worked... it did need to be quoted though :) cheers
[18:07] <tripelb> goltoof, then what's the point of avast.  she_dyed oh yes I do. With pleasure. And on toast.
[18:07] <she_dyed> ah thanks too Bodsda
[18:07] <Gorlist1> how can I list the firmware a device is using?
[18:07] <IdleOne> goltoof: there is a way to change it via terminal but I don't know it.
[18:07] <neiz_> goltoof: go to System->Administration->Update Manager. Click "Settings", enter your password and then under the Updates tabs, change the dropdown for Release upgrade from whatever it is to "Normal Releases" refresh Update Manager and then 10.10 update will show up.
[18:08] <tripelb> <-- has no Ubuntu problems. This is a wonderful thing. So I'm reading about shell scripts now.
[18:08] <sinisterstuf> if dpkg-scanpackes says "Package X is repeat" does that mean I can delete it?
[18:09] <goltoof> neiz_, thanks!   another question, should i upgrade or is a fresh reinstall better?  last time i upgraded (to Lucid)  a lot of stuff was broke and had to reformat
[18:09] <jack__> How do I change wallpaper?

[18:11] <Sky[x]> clean install is better than upgrade :)
[18:11] <seekerInSeattle> I have 3  partitions know what two of them are but not sure what is in the 3rd is there anything in Linux that will give a clue to what distro is in which partition?
[18:11] <IdleOne> jack__: right click on the desktop and click change desktop background

[18:11] <zth> im using ubuntu studio but my grub seems messed up, there's no way for me to enter a menu and choose what kernel to boot from? all that happens is that ticking _ and pressing various buttons (esc space and so on) don't help at all. what to do?
[18:11] <seekerInSeattle> Anyone that wants to help me please put answer in a color that will stand out...
[18:11] <neiz_> Naznaz: maybe sudo apt-get remove vlc | sudo apt-get install vlc        might work
[18:12] <Naznaz> neiz_, i already tried
[18:12] <noob-tux> madmax_x: i think i dont need a anti virus on my distro! :) all viruses are made to work on windows OS's......and in *nix   .exe is not recognized correct me if i'm wrong... :)
[18:12] <anirudhr> Naznaz, Why don't you "sudo apt-get purge vlc" and then reinstall it?
[18:12] <gos> hi, if limewire has been closed, what will be the next?

[18:13] <gos> ok
[18:13] <goltoof> noob-tux, i thin kthe last successful linux virus was in the late 90's.
[18:13] <Wilsonzaizai> seekerInSeattle : did u identify the 3rd partition format?
[18:13] <Kyle__> seekerInSeattle: Mount them.  Look in them.
[18:13] <anirudhr> The purge option should remove all config files. So, when you reinstall, they will all be installed again.
[18:13] <goltoof> seekerInSeattle, what's up?
[18:14] <seekerInSeattle> Its probably same for all of them my friend helping me says..
[18:14] <Wilsonzaizai> seakerInSeattle : How bout mounting it in look whats inside?
[18:14] <anirudhr> seekerInSeattle, "cat /etc/*-release" will tell you which Linux distro is in /. You can try "cat /media/partition/etc/*-release" after mounting it.
[18:15] <Naznaz> anirudhr, thanks, now I only need to find out how to remove the ugly theme that hasn't even buttons for configuring vlc x)
[18:15] <seekerInSeattle> Telling my freind helping me to do that..
[18:15] <noob-tux> goltoof: so u say...that on this era viruses can't penetrate on a *nix distros?
[18:15] <Naznaz> ah there it is

[18:16] <seekerInSeattle> I think we will try the cat command I didnt understand it myself..
[18:16] <Maahes> PaperBear: Before you do that, what dual monitor support are you using?

[18:24] <anirudhr> seekerInSeattle, I was helping you. Where are these partitions of yours mounted?
[18:24] <rypervenche> No no, I want to know what the current default Chinese font is on my system.

[18:28] <m_fulder> can I somehow make my terminal window a specified size when I open one program?
[18:29] <aeon-ltd> m_fulder: you can only set the geometry for the whole term not for one app, iirc
[18:29] <shane4ubuntu> IdleOne, thanks, I think I formated my /home to ext4, but I don't remember, any way to tell what it is? fdisk just says 83 linux
[18:29] <Maahes> okay, just had a look, looks like twinview is no longer a separate package, yes you can create an entry entry in xorg.conf.d/ I don't know what number of precedence you should give your file though, but I suggest trying 99
[18:29] <m_fulder> ah damn :(
[18:29] <Zol> I set up nginx with PHP and MySQL for a few months ago and it's been running fine for a long while. Just now I bought a new domain and added the virtual host for it after I'd set up the DNS for the domain where I bought it. My problem is that when I visit the site, I get redirected to another website that I host (the first one that I set up several months ago). What gives?
[18:30] <Maahes> I'm having a weird issue: I added the ubuntu-kernel ppa to my sources, and synaptic shows it in my sources under the repositories tab, but does not show it as a source under origion, and no new packages are available
[18:30] <she_dyed> m_fulder: for another app, a different size?

[18:34] <qkumbers> can anyone help me with kvm/qemu overlays? The documentation seems light
[18:34] <hal> there is a seminar that was held on gotomeeting today, and I was disappointed to discover that they didn't support linux.  Does anyone know of any alternative services offering similar functionality that support more platforms?
[18:35] <qkumbers> i used vmbuilder to create my machine, do I have to use virt-manager to enable overlays?
[18:35] <duncan_> mooglenorph: maybe you could do ps2pdf <filename> to convert the .ps ot .pdf, then use pdfinfo to find the pagesize? Otherwise, maybe look at GhostScript/GhostViz

[18:36] <jshriver> Greetings I recently bought a quad core Xeon system. Would you recommend 32bit or 64bit Ubuntu? I've had problems with 64bit in the past.
[18:37] <fep> if i want to uninstall something i installed with apt-get, can i do apt-get remove software ?
[18:37] <madmax_x> vearix, are you shutting down correctly?
[18:37] <IdleOne> fep: yes
[18:37] <mooglenorph> duncan_: thanks... I've been trying to figure out the ghostscript docs, they're fairly dense.
[18:37] <shane4ubuntu> IdleOne, thanks
[18:37] <fep> IdleOne: then it removes everything it installed combined with the software?
[18:37] <hal> looks good Maahes , thank you

[18:39] <jg47hm> IdleOne, how to unmount the partition
[18:39] <okaycool> i want to save acpi=off in the boot parameters, where do i find the boot file?
[18:39] <IdleOne> jg47hm: you need to boot into a Ubuntu live cd and run gparted
[18:39] <okaycool>  /boot/grub then?
[18:39] <madmax_x> jg47hm, boot live cd and use gparted there you can unmount from within gparted by right clicking
[18:40] <Zol> Maahes: They managed to help me instantly. :)
[18:40] <vearix> madmax_x: not a wubi install. 2 seperate partitions. this happened to me before and fresh isntall of ubuntu always fixes it. i noticed that it only starts when i boot into win7, then turn off, then boot into ubuntu
[18:40] <Zol> Maahes: Thanks again!
[18:40] <Maahes> Zol: np =)
[18:40] <madmax_x> vearix, are you rebooting or shutdown wait poweron?
[18:40] <vearix> madmax_x: rebooting
[18:40] <lieuwe> madmax_x: yes, but you need to set those up trough the gui, which isn't an option for me
[18:41] <Thisistode> Except Evolution Mail, is there some app I can use to sync up with Google Calendar?
[18:41] <Thisistode> I really wish to have a standalone program to handle my Google Caneldar and sync up with it etc.
[18:41] <vearix> madmax_x: problem only happens when two or more fingers touch the touchpad.

[18:46] <rypervenche> Maahes: Thanks, where did you find that? I would like to know where I can change it.
[18:46] <Quantum_Ion> I cannot find this -> xorg.conf.d in my Ubuntu 10.04 install at all
[18:46] <Sanky> Hello, for some reason, Ubuntu opens shell files in gedit by default.  Can I change this behavior?

[18:52] <Onyx> May somebody help me about the nVidia driver ?
[18:53] <Quantum_Ion> Maahes_, I ran this command ->  find / -name xorg.conf.d

[18:54] <Maahes_> Quantum_Ion:  no /
[18:54] <anirudhr> Onyx, What about the nvidia driver?
[18:54] <Quantum_Ion> Masshuu, The results were --- >/usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d
[18:54] <DragonKeeper> how do i uninstall libs ?
[18:55] <Onyx> hum... I had the 195 driver befor upgrading to 260
[18:55] <Onyx> with the 195, I had 300 fps in Nexuiz
[18:55] <Onyx> Now, I got 60
[18:55] <perlmonkey2> Ah, did I miss 10.10 coming out?  When did that happen?
[18:55] <aeon-ltd> DragonKeeper: same way you uninstall anything, but libs are usually dependencies for multiple apps
[18:55] <Quantum_Ion> when I change into this directory ---> /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d
[18:55] <Maahes_> rypervenche: back up the file, replace all instances of AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni with your font
[18:56] <Quantum_Ion> I get 4 files ---> 05-evdev.conf  10-synaptics.conf  10-vmmouse.conf  10-wacom.conf

[18:57] <Quantum_Ion> Maahes_, Do you remember back in the days when X had only one central file for configuration
[18:57] <Quantum_Ion> Now it has 4
[18:57] <goltoof> i'm going to reinstall to 10.10.. should i do server version since i need LAMP ?
[18:57] <Quantum_Ion> It used to be xconf.org now it is 05-evdev.conf  10-synaptics.conf  10-vmmouse.conf  10-wacom.conf
[18:57] <madmax_x> goltoof, will you ever be sitting in fron of the machine
[18:57] <Maahes_> Quantum_Ion: most of X is configured automagically, and dynamically, if you want to override it for some reason, you create a file in that directory
[18:58] <sta> hello guys!! when i right or left click on my wireless mouse it double click anyways.. how can i fix that? my regular mouse works fine :(
[18:58] <goltoof> what's the big difference between regular and server editions, is server edition okay if it's my main work pc?
[18:58] <ben_q> sta is that a logitech mouse?
[18:58] <goltoof> madmax_x,  yes, my main work machine
[18:58] <Quantum_Ion> Maahes_, How do I generate an xconf.conf file from this 05-evdev.conf  10-synaptics.conf  10-vmmouse.conf  10-wacom.conf
[18:58] <madmax_x> ben_q, as in ben_q drives in the 3360?
[18:58] <sta> ben_q it is a SIGMA mouse.. logitech solution may work as well
[18:59] <Maahes_> goltoof: server has a different kernel designed to use lots of ram, among other things. You can use it for a desktop, but really it's no general help unless you're running a server
[18:59] <madmax_x> goltoof, then you prob want a desktop enviornment
[18:59] <ben_q> sta, there is no solution, logitech mice have a bug with double clicking, that won't affect SIGMA mice
[18:59] <rypervenche> Maahes_: But really what I want to know is, why is AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni chosen and not one of the other fonts? Where is my system told which of the fonts is the one to be used?
[18:59] <ben_q> madmax_x, what?
[18:59] <madmax_x> goltoof, the server is cli and you would have to install X...desktop has X and you would have to install lamp
[18:59] <cansu> anyone knows how i make the keyring never locked again for my wireless connection
[18:59] <furi> i'd like to be able to get my G510 up to its fullest functionality. i'd like to use the applets that came with it for it, like the clock and the media thing. not panel applets, but applets that appear on its screen.
[18:59] <goltoof> thx,  i figured that, just thought i'd check
[19:00] <madmax_x> ben_q, you nick is it a referance to the xbox dvd drive
[19:00] <sta> ben_q any idea of what should I do?
[19:00] <Maahes_> rypervenche: in that file, that file defines what fonts are used for rendering the different chinese writing systems.
[19:00] <ben_q> madmax_x, is it now.. well, lucky me :D
[19:01] <ben_q> sta, nope, sorry, I bought a new mouse after my logitech started to double click all the time
[19:01] <Naznaz> I want to copy some files with the same file type located in different subdirectories to another folder without copying the directory, what's the command for that?
[19:01] <Maahes_> Quantum_Ion: you don't, You instead create a file with just the snippet of configuration, for whatever it is you want to replace the default behavior for.
[19:01] <sta> thank you thank you :)
[19:01] <sweetozkelli>
[19:01] <cansu> anyone knows how i make the keyring never locked again for my wireless connection
[19:01] <cansu> anyone knows how i make the keyring never locked again for my wireless connection
[19:01] <sta> hope i find a solution
[19:01] <furi> i'd like to be able to get my G510 up to its fullest functionality. i'd like to use the applets that came with it for it, like the clock and the media thing. not panel applets, but applets that appear on its screen.
[19:01] <cansu> it never stops asking for my internet password
[19:02] <cansu> each time i run my computer
[19:02] <madmax_x> cansu, dont spam
[19:02] <rypervenche> Maahes_: But why AR PL ShanHeiSun Uni? Where does it say that that one is chosen for my desktop?
[19:02] <Maahes_> rypervenche: because thats the default font for
[19:02] <Maahes_> Hei under the ttf-package for chinese
[19:02] <Maahes_> -tw that is
[19:03] <Maahes_> cansu: does it ask it just once, or continuously?
[19:03] <cansu> Maahes_ each time i open my computer
[19:03] <Quantum_Ion> Masshuu, looks like I am going to to have to do a cut and paste on all 4 files into one xorg.conf file
[19:03] <madmax_x> cansu, is it the wireless password or unlock the default keyring
[19:03] <okaycool> i am getting a command prompt after booting, its not showing the gui anymore. what did i do?
[19:04] <Maahes_> cansu: each time you shut your computer off, or each time you go into suspend or hibernate
[19:04] <okaycool> i just edited the grub file to append acpi=off
[19:04] <Quantum_Ion> Maahes_, basically I an trying to configure an X server for FreeBSD from my Ubuntu linux generated xconfig
[19:04] <cansu> madmax_x , it is the wireless password to unloack the default keyring :S
[19:04] <cansu> Maahes_ on / off
[19:04] <Thisistode> Oh I forgot to see if I got any answers
[19:04] <Maahes_> Quantum_Ion: those files by themselves will not make an xorg.conf file.
[19:05] <Maahes_> Quantum_Ion: I would be suspicious of doing that because FreeBSD may have very different identifiers and kernel drivers.

[19:06] <mbroeker> okaycool, reboot your pc and hold down the shift key during boot to get to the grub2 menu
[19:06] <Quantum_Ion> Maahes_, That is the way I used to configure X on FreeBSD back in the old days before Ubuntu using Redhat X generator I would just pull the x conf file from Linux and transfer it to FreeBSD and it worked
[19:06] <madmax_x> Sky[x], epiphany

[19:09] <andrew__> i have a quick question
[19:10] <andrew__> anyone know about the hardware compatibility of the eee PC with ubuntu?
[19:10] <drcode> ahi ll
[19:10] <drcode> hi all
[19:10] <drcode> is there console program for auto mount hdd , portable hdd and so?
[19:10] <drcode> automticly?
[19:10] <okaycool> mbroeker: thanks, i was only pressing & leaving the shift key
[19:10] <Naznaz> I want to copy some files with the same file type located in different subdirectories to another folder without copying the directory, what's the command for that?
[19:10] <madmax_x> drcode, /etc/fstab
[19:11] <madmax_x> Naznaz, do a recursive search for the file extention  then copy paste intop a new folder
[19:11] <Naznaz> oh gosh I'm silly
[19:11] <Naznaz> madmax_x, thanks :D
[19:12] <madmax_x> Naznaz, im sure some guru has a commandline string for that but thats how i do it
[19:12] <andrew__> my eee pc's earphone jack wont work with 10.10 how can i tell if this is a hardware or software issue?
[19:12] <Naznaz> madmax_x, yes for it's on my NAS I thought I needed a bash script but actually I can it access via NFS, so thanks a lot :-)
[19:12] <madmax_x> andrew__, look around in sound preferances
[19:13] <andrew__> thanks all
[19:14] <madmax_x> Naznaz, you neeed the files or just a list?...i think : locate -r *.jpg > list.txt
[19:14] <Sw33NY> 42007
[19:14] <goltoof> i don't want to upgrade to 10.10, i want to reinstall, what's the best way to back up all my current settings ?  I'd like a way to reinstall as many of the current programs/settings automatically, instead of redoing each one by one.
[19:14] <Naznaz> madmax_x, I need to copy the files so I can toy around with them
[19:16] <cansu> Quantum_Ion which option is it ??
[19:16] <PeterNL> Hi, what is a good a/v capturing program that can record video from v4l2 and audio from line-in, and at the same time display the video while it is recording?
[19:16] <CkhiKuzad> Is it possible to tunnel X11 apps into windows over SSH?
[19:17] <citytaur> Hi at all, can simeone give me a hint? How can I save the settings in NVIDIA X Server Settings? every restart my resolution is at 800x600 :( thx
[19:17] <madmax_x> citytaur, run nvidia x serversettings as root
[19:17] <snipe> can anyone tell me where the cpu temp is in the file system?
[19:18] <llutz> CkhiKuzad: sure, use putty, x-forwarding and a x-server on windows
[19:18] <__cool__> CkhiKuzad: you need an X server on windows then, like i.w. the one from cygwin.com ... then you even don't have to use putty
[19:18] <citytaur> thx @ maxmax_x I'm new to ubuntu, i try my luck :)
[19:19] <CkhiKuzad> llutz, __cool__, If I dont have an x server on windows, is it possible to tunnel a wine app? since it's an .EXE app?
[19:20] <snipe> i'm trying to set up cpu temp in conky and not sure where to find it
[19:20] <PeterNL> snipe: sensors
[19:20] <llutz> CkhiKuzad: if it uses X as output, you'll need an x-server
[19:21] <snipe> thanks peter .. noob here , can you direct me to that
[19:21] <__cool__> CkhiKuzad: or you use the remote desktop way, like using a vncserver instead of the standard x server. but that would not be x tunneling ofc
[19:21] <PeterNL> type sensors into the terminal
[19:21] <snipe> thank you
[19:21] <CkhiKuzad> __cool__, that would work with using OpenSSH?
[19:22] <PeterNL> !sensors
[19:22] <yaaar> howdy
[19:22] <PeterNL> Hmmm. Didn't know ubottu knew that
[19:23] <__cool__> Chieftain: sure you can tunnel vnc connections through ssh... but it's not the x protocol and you have to tell the wine application to use an 'secondary' server like the vncserver...
[19:23] <faizul> !hi
[19:23] <__cool__> Chieftain: oops
[19:23] <__cool__> CkhiKuzad: ^^
[19:24] <CkhiKuzad> Alright, thank you __cool__
[19:24] <CkhiKuzad> now, second question time.
[19:24] <she_dyed> and thats all the time we have thaankyou
[19:24] <she_dyed> =)
[19:24] <she_dyed> j/k
[19:25] <CkhiKuzad> For some reason my Virtual terminals, that could be accessed with CTRL+ALT+F[1-8] are disabled.
[19:25] <yaaar> i hate to ask a question this broad. but does anybody have pointers on setting up a webserver that's (relatively) safe running multiple sites which may not have completely trusted code? i keep having injection attacks and form manipulations come up (usually either send a ton of spam or launch some ssh dictionary attack) and drag the whole box down. since they're all running as www-data it's...
[19:25] <yaaar> ...hard to track down the offending site.
[19:25] <sagar> hi i m using ubuntu 10.04 and network icon is missing in my top panel and i m unable to select my network so what should i do for this.?
[19:25] <aeon-ltd> CkhiKuzad: laptop?, do you have a Fn (function key)
[19:25] <CkhiKuzad> aeon-ltd, no. it's a desktop.
[19:26] <PeterNL> yaaar: not really possible. Don't run untrusted code, or make sure you know where the dangerous code is.
[19:26] <orko69_> How can I increase the font-size of the text in the virtual terminals, CTRL+ALT+F[1-8]?
[19:26] <goltoof> sagar, restart gnome-panel
[19:26] <CkhiKuzad> aeon-ltd, I have the F keys at the top of the keyboard. F[1-8] is shortened for F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8
[19:26] <PeterNL> yaaar: anything in the apache error/access logs?
[19:26] <sagar> goltoof: how to restart
[19:26] <yaaar> PeterNL: then how do hosting companies run? they can't trust all their customers' code...
[19:26] <trism> CkhiKuzad: curious, what does: service tty2 status; return?
[19:27] <goltoof> sagar, forgot,  looking...
[19:27] <PeterNL> yaaar: php safe mode helps a bit, but they should check their customer's code every once in a while.
[19:27] <CkhiKuzad> trism: ckhikuzad@Skynet-Terminal:~$ service tty2 status;
[19:27] <CkhiKuzad> tty2 start/running, process 627
[19:27] <sagar> gotloof: ok
[19:28] <madmax_x> goltoof, terminal "sudo killall  gnome-panel"
[19:28] <PeterNL> Or they use VMs. That might be the safest solution besides using dedicated servers (which might be way too expensive anyway)
[19:28] <madmax_x> goltoof, gnome-panel &
[19:28] <albech_> what are the new features in 10.10?
[19:28] <goltoof> sagar, only problem with restarting gnome panel is it removes your quick icons
[19:29] <sagar> gotloof: ok
[19:29] <trism> CkhiKuzad: alright, so they are running, not sure why you can't access them, perhaps some driver issue
[19:29] <goltoof> madmax_x, is there a way to restart without it removing quick links?
[19:29] <Ryann> Hey, I need some help - I downloaded ubuntu 10.10 and used 3 different softwares  that put it onto usb that would then make it bootable. I used UltraISO Premium like I always would, I used universal USB installer from PendriveLinux.com and I also used unetbootin. I also tried it to a 4GB USB drive and also to a 4GB SDHC card. So, in total 6 different tries. They all failed in the same way - I would tap F9 to boot from USB at startup then
[19:29] <CkhiKuzad> trism, what is the shortcut to access one? maybe i've got it wrong
[19:29] <sagar> gotloof: then what should i do..?
[19:29] <yaaar> PeterNL: php.net says safe mode is deprecated. and i find it highly unlikely that hosting companies are auditing all their customers' sites for security vulnerabilities
[19:29] <Ryann> Then it would just hang there, and do nothing. No lights on USB flashing, no hard disk light flashing.
[19:30] <PeterNL> yaaar: indeed. safe mode is dead. But it was a way to make hosting companies lifes easier.
[19:30] <trism> CkhiKuzad: you had it correct
[19:30] <PeterNL> yaaar: there must be a way to have each user run apache as himseld, and not www-data. But I don't know
[19:30] <goltoof> sagar,  sudo killall  gnome-panel
[19:30] <CkhiKuzad> trism, where can i configure it, then?
[19:30] <orko69_> @Ryann, It will help you if you use a CD instead of the usb install.
[19:31] <orko69_> @Ryann, Even I had problems with the usb install.
[19:31] <goltoof> sagar, as i stated it removes quick links, not sure how to restart without losing them
[19:31] <nemchik> anyone by chance know how to hide join/leave notifications in xchat-gnome?
[19:31] <Ryann> orko69_: Yeah, i read that there were some problems with the USB install. I thought maybe someone might know a fix, in here.
[19:31] <goltoof> namchik, right click on the room, under settings
[19:31] <sagar> gotloof: ok n thanx
[19:32] <nits> is it possible to install the server edition and desktop edition on the same machine? if so is it similar to installing two flavours of ubuntu on the same machine?
[19:32] <Ryann> orko69_: Is it not possible to install it via USB for now, then?
[19:32] <goltoof> i don't want to upgrade to 10.10, i want to reinstall, what's the best way to back up all my current settings ?  I'd like a way to reinstall as many of the current programs/settings automatically, instead of redoing each one by one.
[19:33] <CkhiKuzad> Alright, its official. the shortcut to access my virtual terminals has been disabled. i need help re-enabling it.
[19:33] <goltoof> nits, not practical, you can install lamp server on desktop edition and make it a server
[19:33] <nits> goltoof: then what's the deal with the server edition?
[19:34] <orko69_> @Ryann, I would not say that.
[19:34] <Ryann> orko69_: Do you know of anything that would help me in booting it from USB?
[19:34] <zupb> Hi, guys. I saw webinar. And now it's in my adobe cash, because i can listen it. Where i can find this audio file?
[19:34] <goltoof> nits, it's cli only and comes with apache mysql php, you can install x and use it as desktop but it has different ram configs, etc to work as a server
[19:34] <BlaDe^> Hi guys I created a symbolic link for php to /usr/local/bin/php but the php command still doesn't work --- what else should I do?
[19:35] <nits> goltoof: oh......
[19:35] <nits> goltoof: Thanks for explaining :)
[19:35] <goltoof> nits,  sudo tasksel install lamp-server   ... turns your desktop into a server :)
[19:35] <orko69_> @Ryann Which version of Ubuntu are you using to prepare the startup-disk?
[19:35] <nits> goltoof: sweet Thanks :)
[19:35] <jsidhu> trying to install ubuntu 10.10 via WUBI. I already have the latest ISO downloaded, ubuntu-10.10-desktop-amd64.iso and placed in the same folder as the wubi installed (C:\wubi) When I launch the wubi installer, it still wants to download the 64bit iso via torrent.. how do i stop it and make it use the iso I lready downloaded??
[19:36] <jsidhu> (please note im not trying to force a 32bit vs a 64bit install, I know about the --32bit flag...)
[19:37] <banking30horas> [AutoGreetz] HellCome !!!
[19:38] <Roasted> If I'm running an Ubuntu desktop with DHCP, how can I see what addresses it hands out?
[19:38] <Roasted> I guess I'm looking for the "DHCP" that we find on Windows servers to view the leases, etc.
[19:38] <llutz> Roasted: ifconfig
[19:38] <Roasted> that gives me the addresses I've handed OUT?
[19:39] <Roasted> like I want to see the mac addresses and IPs of all clients that got an address from me.
[19:39] <llutz> Roasted: ups, you run dhcpd? doesn't it have a log /var/log/...
[19:39] <okaycool> what is this keyring popping up everytime i boot?
[19:39] <jschall_> is the 2.6.36 kernel going to be made available in meerkat?
[19:39] <okaycool> asking for password before it connects to wireless
[19:40] <llutz> Roasted: look at /var/lib/dhcpd/dhcpd.leases
[19:40] <CkhiKuzad> I really need help. My TTY Virtual Terminal sessions are disabled.
[19:40] <orko69_> @okaycool, You got to setup the wireless network as available to all users to prevent it from asking everytime.
[19:41] <Roasted> llutz, I see, but the mac address of the system that just pulled an IP from me doesnt appear to be listed... sigh
[19:41] <dasen> hi guys, do you have any idea where one can submit ideas and complaints about the new unity user interface to the ubuntu people?
[19:41] <okaycool> orko69_: thanks, did that
[19:41] <orko69_> @okaycool, right-click on the network-applet, Edit connections...
[19:43] <jsidhu> is there a wubi installer for 10.10? The one I downloaded from ubuntu keeps trying to install 10.04..
[19:43] <jymbo> HELLO
[19:43] <okaycool> yes :)
[19:44] <Neil_Bulley> hello
[19:44] <jymbo> HIE
[19:44] <ninjai> HIE
[19:44] <jsidhu> oh heyyyy
[19:46] <dynoman> I'm running 10.10 and would like to know how to use a static ip for that machine ?
[19:47] <llutz> dynoman: use /etc/network/interfaces or set static-ip in networkmanager
[19:47] <reggie_> is it possible to add 32 bit libs to a 64 bit install like windows 7?
[19:47] <reggie_> so that I can install 32 bit apps
[19:47] <dynoman> thanks, can i use two network cards and port them
[19:52] <CkhiKuzad> Is there a program that is used to modify grub2, like startup-manager for grub legacy?
[19:53] <reggie_> use burg instead much nicer than GRUB
[19:56] <MikeHoncho> Hey all, is there a photo editor that's a bit more like ACDSee?
[19:56] <CkhiKuzad> reggie_, I will not use a bootloader that i know nothing about
[19:56] <MikeHoncho> I don't need Gimp, but Shotwell is too simple.
[19:56] <CkhiKuzad> MikeHoncho, try F-Spot. it should be in your graphics menu
[19:57] <Rapp> hi everyone!
[19:57] <dynoman> hi rapp
[19:57] <CkhiKuzad> !hi | Rapp
[19:57] <CkhiKuzad> ... ubottu must be down
[19:57] <reggie_> ok np but it should be used as default in ubuntu just too freakin nice
[19:57] <lucid_guy> First Windows7 Workstation, Samba 3.4.9 backend.  I can join the domain, but when logging in receive "The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed" .. urg .. applied MS patch to join the domain, also tried a number of suggestions from google with no luck .. anyone?
[19:57] <CkhiKuzad> !hello | Rapp
[19:57] <MikeHoncho> Fspot has even less features than shotwell.
[19:57] <liberan> !gender
[19:57] <liberan> !girls
[19:58] <liberan> girls get even boot going
[19:58] <liberan> !hi
[19:58] <Rapp> my / partition gets mounted in fstab via some UUID. however, my swap gets mounted as /dev/sda1. can i change that? or alternatively: when adding 1 or 2 USB HDs, they become sda and sdb, and my swap cannot be activated, the sda USB disk cannot be mounted (because it is listed in fstab) and KDE goes crazy.
[19:58] <PeterNL> !humor
[19:58] <CkhiKuzad> yet !hi is down ._.
[19:58] <Pici> !msgthebot
[19:58] <vademecum> new install trying to get flashplayer http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/flash but can't get to past "use this source" page
[19:58] <Pici> CkhiKuzad: It doesn't exist.
[19:58] <jehn> Can someone help me get my networkcard working in Ubntu Desktop 10.10? ( 00:0e.0 Ethernet Controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co.,Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+(rev10))
[19:59] <CkhiKuzad> Pici, then what has everyone said to newbies when they come in and say just hello.
[19:59] <noob-tux> how can i change ubuntu logo on the panel? this small ubuntu logo on the upper left corner of the screen? i want to change it...is it possible?
[19:59] <Wormhole> ciao a tutti
[19:59] <Pici> CkhiKuzad: They say hi to them.
[19:59] <CkhiKuzad> Pici, there used to be a !hi command to make ubottu do a little introduction to them
[20:00] <Pici> CkhiKuzad: And it was removed because it was being used intead of having actual interaction with them.
[20:00] <CkhiKuzad> ah. now i know, Pici. thank you.
[20:00] <CkhiKuzad> noob-tux, apt-get install ubuntu-tweak
[20:01] <bluefox83> !pidgin
[20:02] <bluefox83> so anyone know how to replace empathy with pidgin? i really REALLY hate empathy and it's not-very-flexible config options
[20:02] <Rapp> ok, found my answer. i can generate a uuid for the swap with uuidgen, and add that to the swap partition using mkswap and then edit fstab
[20:02] <bmusson> is there a way to make mouse clicks count in the unlock screen password?
[20:02] <tiox> bluefox83: Yeah.
[20:03] <tiox> Go into synaptic and uncheck everythig Empathy, then install Pidgin.
[20:03] <tiox> Rather, uhm...
[20:03] <tiox> Mark everything Empathy for complete removal.
[20:03] <liberan> after todays update i was not able to boot into ubuntu. i had boot on ubuntu rescue stopped on "Begin: running ´/scripts/init-bottom... Done" and then just stayed there. Did several things, restored, updated system via live cd, updated grub several times, then i run testdisk, fixed partitions, rerun grub rescue, now disk is clean of all errors, grub is loaded, but i get this error now:...
[20:03] <bluefox83> tiox: so when i click on the chat button it will open pidgin automatically?
[20:03] <liberan> ...plymouth main process(329) terminated with status 1
[20:03] <tiox> What chat button?
[20:04] <THAC0> I restarted apache but it failed, now it won't start at all, says: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address <IP_ADDRESS>:80 :S
[20:04] <bluefox83> tiox: well, there's this neat little icon on my menubar that has an envelope, if i click it, there are options, one of which is "chat"
[20:04] <tiox> My general experience is, if you install everything for Pidgin (libnotify and all that jazz), it should work and be integrated with the indicator applet.
[20:04] <liberan> i am able to get into winxp via grub
[20:04] <tiox> Just remove everything Empathy (completely) then install everything for Pidgin.
[20:04] <bluefox83> k
[20:04] <tiox> Not terribly difficult.
[20:04] <tiox> I have t working like you want it.
[20:04] <tiox> it*
[20:05] <tiox> Mind you, bluefox83, pIDGIN WAS THE MESSENGER FOR uBUNTU 9.04
[20:05] <tiox> And caps fail.
[20:05] <reggie_> how come boxee is plagued with dependency issues
[20:05] <tiox> Point is, everything that came with 9.04 for Pidgin is still there in the Maverick repos.

[20:06] <Praxi> and now when I look at httpd.conf its blank

[20:11] <Roasted> Is there any way to view my DHCP leases within ebox on an Ubuntu server running DHCP?
[20:11] <madmax_x> laffer, im running it now
[20:11] <PeterNL> laffer: i'm running it every day
[20:11] <madmax_x> Roasted, arp -a?
[20:11] <Praxi> if I do a find / -name *httpd.conf will that find it?
[20:12] <she_dyed> Praxi: or ls -al in your home and where the original sits
[20:12] <PeterNL> try ls -lA /etc/apache2

[20:31] <PeterNL> Hi, what is a good a/v capturing program that can record video from v4l2 and audio from line-in, and at the same time display the video while it is recording?
[20:31] <noob-tux> i always get gpg error stating badsig everytime i'll update my distro.....and someone told me that it is due to my system time, cause i got dualboot on my system one is win7 and my ubuntu....is it possible that i got this error due to the system clock? that i didnt get the realtime?
[20:31] <madmax_x> laffer, h/o
[20:32] <laffer> madmax_x: ?
[20:32] <Sir_Leto> Nertil, did that work?
[20:32] <madmax_x> laffer, hold on
[20:32] <laffer> ok
[20:32] <Sir_Leto> Can someone answer my question?
[20:32] <seidos> what is the "d" in drwxr-xr-x?
[20:33] <reggie_> thank you guys that worked perfectly
[20:33] <llutz> seidos: directory
[20:33] <Marcus_Jah> seidos, is a directory
[20:33] <Praxi> when working with apache, I am trying to setup a vhost, how do I tell what the URL will be?
[20:33] <reggie_> one last thing is there a way of installing all of the 32 bit libs so that I can install certain 32 bit apps
[20:34] <she_dyed> Praxi: btw were you ablet to find the workfile intact?
[20:34] <wgwinn> when running the 'install to hard drive' utility on the ubuntu 10.04 install disks, does it lock the dpkg database for the 'live' os ?
[20:34] <reggie_> or is that not practical
[20:34] <Praxi> yes, it was me being stupid :(
[20:34] <jarle> Has anybody been able to have AdobeAIR apps (like twhirl, Tweetdeck or Spaz) to open links in browser in ubuntu 10.10? I'm starting to think that this is a problem with AdobeAIR on ubuntu 10.10, as I had this working fine in 10.04...
[20:34] <Praxi> I was looking for the default file, but ubuntu changes where it is
[20:34] <she_dyed> Praxi: no more questions your Honor
[20:34] <Praxi> I was looking for httpd.conf but it was actually apahce2.conf
[20:34] <nanovany> no DasEI, I am wainting because I am installing a program from the repositories...
[20:35] <nanovany> just a little moment jejejejej please
[20:35]  * spanda waves
[20:35] <Praxi> humility is a hard trait to remember :)
[20:35] <madmax_x> laffer, sudo apt-get install compiz
[20:35] <Sir_Leto> Wubi won't boot when I plug my other drive in.
[20:35] <Sir_Leto> I get dropped to the rescue promt.
[20:35] <DragonKeeper> i need webcam support for my messenger amsn and kopete and empathy are not working for cam :S    anyother messengers to use ?
[20:35] <Sir_Leto> When I do ls, it lists the root directory.
[20:35] <laffer> madmax_x: done
[20:35] <DasEi> nanovany: slow connection so
[20:35] <madmax_x> run ccsm
[20:35] <madmax_x> laffer sudo ccsm
[20:35] <Zwei> Hi, I'm installing Sun JDK on ubuntu, I've reached this screen and don't know how to get out: http://imgur.com/o6Yf4.png
[20:35] <she_dyed> Sir_Leto: whats on the other drive anyway
[20:35] <nanovany> yeah, 50 kb / seg xD
[20:36] <dail34> Set up openssh server at home behind a router to ssh into it, complete with a dyndns.org account. Now I want to use it as a vpn server so I can browse securely while out with ma netbook. Question: which set up and where are the instructions!!!!
[20:36] <DasEi> DragonKeeper: does the camera itself works with cheese ?
[20:36] <goltoof> "Could not install 'likewise-open'"   upgrading to 10.10,  is this a common error?
[20:36] <Zwei> I've tried highlighting the OK button.
[20:36] <Strumpa> Hello everyone! I am a new Ubuntu user! I was just wondering how I can make ubuntu stop asking me for a password when I do stuff?
[20:36] <Zwei> Nothing works
[20:36] <goltoof> happened last time i upgraded
[20:36] <Sir_Leto> Windows server 2008R2
[20:36] <dail34> @Strumpa that is a security feature, no?
[20:36] <DasEi> Strumpa: you won't, sudo keeps alive for ~15min in default
[20:36] <DragonKeeper> DasEi  ?   cheese ?
[20:36] <madmax_x> laffer, pm
[20:36] <nanovany> I am installing kdnlive to edit videos jejeje
[20:36] <Strumpa> @dail34 I guess so? :P
[20:36] <Sir_Leto> My brother borrowed my server, so I put my drive in my desktop
[20:37] <DasEi> !info cheese | DragonKeeper
[20:37] <Strumpa> DasEi: Huh?
[20:37] <spanda> dail34: http://charlieharvey.org.uk/page/ssh_socks_proxy re ssh proxy/vpn
[20:37] <DasEi> !sudo | Strumpa
[20:37] <she_dyed> Sir_Leto: but is it part of the wubi install?
[20:37] <chris_> help... I can't see videoes with vlc anymore...
[20:37] <Sir_Leto> no
[20:37] <goltoof> chris_ reinstall
[20:37] <DragonKeeper> DasEi  ill check
[20:37] <she_dyed> Sir_Leto: try hooking it up AFTER the boot process finishes
[20:37] <kl0x> hi people
[20:38] <Strumpa> DasEi: Sorry, that does'nt help me very much. I'm totally new at Linux. Sorry :S
[20:38] <Sir_Leto> It doesn't show up then, it's a SATA drive
[20:38] <DasEi> Strumpa: if you issue several commands, after once given your PW, sudo won't ask again within 15 minutes, longeing which each new sudo
[20:38] <DragonKeeper> DasEi  yes it works perfectly
[20:38] <laffer> madmax_x: compiz isn't working. I open ccsm but none of the effects work
[20:38] <lindsaymobil22> thank god i am not banned anymore
[20:38] <kl0x> I'm looking for the answer to the question: How can I exit shell after running 'nohup command' while this stills running
[20:38] <kl0x> automatically..
[20:38] <Sir_Leto> I loads grub from the vista drive, and then tries to load ubuntu from the windows sever drive.
[20:39] <kl0x> like nohup thunderbird  && exit
[20:39] <dail34> @spanda oh, that seems beautifully easy. off to try. thanks!
[20:39] <DasEi> DragonKeeper: then just for a test call kopete as root, to see if it's a permission Problem (don't let it become habit, if it works)
[20:39] <Strumpa> DasEi: Well, I dont know if I use this Sudo. But everytime I want to install a new program or anything install a driver or something. Ubuntu asks me for my password.
[20:39] <Sir_Leto> Could I just move the folder over?
[20:39] <DragonKeeper> ok
[20:39] <spanda> dail34: kk
[20:39] <lindsaymobil22> Has anyone tried to downgrade the GDM in ubuntu 10.10? To the themeable gdm that is, and if so, does that also downgrade gnome's version in general?
[20:39] <wgwinn> kl0x, whats nohup comand & exit get you ?
[20:39] <madmax_x> laffer, system>preferances>apperance>visual effects tab>
[20:39] <jarle> kl0x: using screen maybe?
[20:39] <she_dyed>  Sir_Leto which one, why not a copy
[20:40] <Strumpa> DasEi: Some sort of authentification.
[20:40] <DasEi> Strumpa: you speack of GUI's then, mostly commandline is used, but it's the same mechanism
[20:40] <madmax_x> laffer pm
[20:40] <kl0x> wgwinn: if I try to launch thunderbird it launches it and keeps running (the terminal screen)
[20:40] <reggie_> if I wanted to force a 32 bit install would I use this line exactly: sudo dpkg -i - -force-architecture
[20:40] <kl0x> jarle: trying to avoid that
[20:40] <Strumpa> DasEi: Okey, I think I understand. But this cannot be disabled?
[20:40] <seidos> llutz, Marcus_Jah thank you comrades
[20:40] <reggie_> or would I replace architecture with 32bit??
[20:40] <DasEi> Strumpa: it's a linux way of of protecting the sys from unauthorized use
[20:40] <furi> i'd like to be able to get my G510 up to its fullest functionality. i'd like to use the applets that came with it for it, like the clock and the media thing. not panel applets, but applets that appear on its screen.
[20:41] <Sir_Leto> It loads grub from the drive that wubi is on. Grub tries to boot from the second drive, which doesn't have wubi on it.
[20:41] <DasEi> Strumpa: you could, but that would underun the idea behind it
[20:41] <Sir_Leto> Could I just move the Ubuntu folder?
[20:41] <reggie_> does anyone know the answer to my question
[20:41] <Strumpa> DasEi: Yes, I understand. But It's rather annoying because noone else uses my computer. Ever!
[20:41] <kl0x> wgwinn: I launch it through script
[20:41] <Praxi> plug the sata drive into a drive buddy (makes it usb) then plug it in after boot Sir_Leto ?
[20:41] <DasEi> Strumpa: you're online, apparently ;-)
[20:42] <kl0x> wgwinn: [ "$mypassword" == "$PASS" ] && echo "." && nohup /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.9/thunderbird_exe $1 & exit 0 || exit 0
[20:42] <Sir_Leto> drive buddy?
[20:42] <Strumpa> DasEi: I thought Linux was pretty safe? :P
[20:42] <she_dyed> Sir_Leto: its wubi, which is essentally for test drving
[20:42] <SianaGearz> Strumpa, you have to protect your computer if you want to ever have any open ports or services running on it, even a home network, or by accident.
[20:42] <datacrusher> how do i change my keyring password? iv recently installed the netbook remix but the password is "ubuntu"
[20:42] <Sir_Leto> I don't have another drive to partition, so I just use Wubi
[20:42] <DragonKeeper> DasEi  ok well i ran kopete in root i can go into settings to change what camera to use but there is no button to ask the contact if they want to view =S
[20:42] <she_dyed> Sir_Leto: i would if i dont store critical data on the wubi side/ubuntu yet
[20:42] <DasEi> Strumpa: let say you want to issue several commands, use the terminal.. maybe it's safer because of it's concept ?!
[20:43] <Praxi> Sir_Leto: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812232002 <--something like that
[20:43] <SianaGearz> Strumpa: well THAT is exactly the reason linux is safe :) and vista/7 are safe-ish too.
[20:43] <andeeeuk> Hey everyone
[20:43] <Praxi> Sorry bare in mind I only got half the conversation, sounds like having the drive in on bootup is causing you a problem
[20:43] <Sir_Leto> Can't I just point grub to the right drive?
[20:43] <DasEi> Strumpa: open a terminal.. I'll show you
[20:43] <PeterNL> Hi, what is a good a/v capturing program that can record video from v4l2 and audio from line-in, and at the same time display the video while it is recording?
[20:43] <Strumpa> Okey, I guess I'll keep this password thingy then :P
[20:43] <Praxi> yes you can
[20:44] <Praxi> what version of grub you have makes it change the command to do it a lot :)
[20:44] <SianaGearz> Strumpa: you can of course undermine ever safety mechanism, by, say, allowing users to gain superuser rights without password entry. then every program with internet access becomes a potential rootkit.
[20:44] <Strumpa> DasEi: Terminal = Open
[20:44] <eaerth> can someone help me figure out why i get an input/output error with my external HDD?
[20:44] <andeeeuk> I have Guayadeque music player and it is not appearing in my sound indicator
[20:44] <Sir_Leto> I have ubuntu 10.10
[20:44] <andeeeuk> does anyone know why?
[20:44] <DasEi> Strumpa: sudo apt-get update
[20:44] <Praxi> !grub
[20:44] <DasEi> Strumpa: PW to be given once
[20:44] <nothingspecial> andeeeuk: What sound indicator?
[20:44] <SianaGearz> andeeeuk: probably because it doesn't know what pulseaudio is.
[20:44] <Praxi> !grub2 Sir_Leto
[20:44] <Sir_Leto> !grub2
[20:44] <andeeeuk> the indicator in ubuntu 10.10
[20:45] <Praxi> great minds think alike, and so do ours!
[20:45] <Strumpa> DasEi: Hmm, I can't enter any password??
[20:45] <kl0x> Some1 forgot me!
[20:45] <andeeeuk> i thought it would appear there like Rhythmbox?
[20:45] <DasEi> Strumpa: what is a pass-word then, you're kidding ?
[20:45] <andeeeuk> is that not right?
[20:45] <eaerth> i can't even transfer files over to my HDD... ;[
[20:45] <nothingspecial> andeeeuk: In the system tray thingy?
[20:45] <andeeeuk> yeah
[20:46] <kl0x> andeeeuk probably not the best player, maybe not famous enough
[20:46] <Strumpa> DasEi: It says  [sudo] password for henrik(ME):
[20:46] <Praxi> that help at all Sir_Leto ?
[20:46] <andeeeuk> yeah, i thought that
[20:46] <Strumpa> DasEi: But I cannot enter anything?
[20:46] <guntbert> Strumpa: you will not get any feedback while typing the PW
[20:46] <nothingspecial> andeeeuk: It`s in the settings somewhere
[20:46] <DragonKeeper> DasEi  ok well i ran kopete in root i can go into settings to change what camera to use but there is no button to ask the contact if they want to view =S
[20:46] <nanovany> hey DasEi
[20:46] <Sir_Leto> Yeah, I know where to look now.
[20:46] <nanovany> Ya hice eso
[20:46] <andeeeuk> but i have seen it in other peoples menu
[20:46] <PeterNL> Hi, what is a good a/v capturing program that can record video from v4l2 and audio from line-in, and at the same time display the video while it is recording?
[20:46] <guntbert> Strumpa: just type it
[20:46] <nanovany> aah, I did it
[20:46] <DasEi> Strumpa: so enter your user pass
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> Strumpa: just type your pass, it wont give feedback but keep typing
[20:46] <Praxi> how can I tell what my URL is for a virtual in ubuntu?
[20:46] <andeeeuk> i have checke the settings and dont know what it could be
[20:46] <DasEi> nanovany: url ?
[20:47] <Strumpa> Oh, lol didnt know that :P
[20:47] <nanovany> http://pastebin.com/KHy6WBSn
[20:47] <Praxi> err that came out wrong, how can I tell what my URL is for a virtual host in apache
[20:47] <guntbert> !who | andeeeuk
[20:47] <nanovany> but, what about this?
[20:47] <Strumpa> DasEi: Okey, DasEi. What did that show me? :P
[20:47] <nothingspecial> andeeeuk: andeeeuk I`m running in console mode remotely, I`m sure it`s in the first preferences section
[20:47] <eaerth> does anyone else has problems putting files on external hdd
[20:47] <DasEi> DragonKeeper: i can't understand that sentence; camera is found but .. ? please rephrase
[20:47] <Strumpa> DasEi: Some stuff came up.
[20:47] <nameless`> hi there
[20:47] <eaerth> halpp
[20:47] <kl0x> !tab
[20:47] <kl0x> lol
[20:47] <DasEi> Strumpa: let the update finish
[20:48] <Sir_Leto> restarting to see if it works.
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> eaerth: none at all, look at your mount options
[20:48] <kl0x> didn know that, thanks ubottu =P
[20:48] <andeeeuk> nothingspecial: ok thanks i will have a look
[20:48] <Strumpa> DasEi: I updated when I first got in so there are no more updates I think
[20:48] <DasEi> Strumpa: press enter if it asks you if.. Y/n
[20:48] <eaerth> ActionParsnip: my mount options seems fine...
[20:48] <nameless`> does anyone knows a gedit plugin that does indent C code ?
[20:48] <DasEi> Strumpa: done ?
[20:48] <nothingspecial> andeeeuk: If I remember, the settings are under the library thing in the menus
[20:48] <Strumpa> DasEi: Yes
[20:48] <eaerth> when it mounts the folder comes and then i can't add files
[20:48] <goltoof> scribes > gedit
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> eaerth: they can't be or you'd be able to write data.....
[20:49] <DasEi> Strumpa: sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:49] <DragonKeeper> DasEi  kopete running as root.  settings can find and use the cam  but in the contact window there is no way for me to send my cam out for someone else to view
[20:49] <Darxus> "require threads;" is causing perl to say "This Perl not built to support threads"  I verified the path is /usr/bin/perl, and that file matches the md5sum on another machine which is not giving me this error.  What broke?
[20:49] <eaerth> ActionParsnip: i get input/output error
[20:49] <Darxus> Both machines are running Lucid, 64 bit.
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> eaerth: then unmount the partition and fsck it
[20:49] <eaerth> ActionParsnip: fsck in terminal?
[20:50] <ActionParsnip> eaerth: yes, make sure its healthy
[20:50] <biggestchops> #join gluster
[20:50] <DasEi> DragonKeeper: your contacts arent there, this might be because root uses another folder then regular user does, so got a permission problem then, close root-kopete and check groups (user >> video, dialout, whatever)
[20:50] <BlaDe^> Hi guys I created a symbolic link for php to /usr/local/bin/php but the php command still doesn't work --- what else should I do?
[20:50] <zth> im using ubuntu studio but my grub seems messed up, there's no way for me to enter a menu and choose what kernel to boot from? all that happens is that ticking _ and pressing various buttons (esc space and so on) don't help at all. what to do?
[20:51] <DasEi> Strumpa: see it now won't ask again ?
 do you have this running like this yourself?
[20:51] <eaerth> ActionParsnip: fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2?
[20:51] <Strumpa> DasEi: Hmm, now it said something about. "Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/. Is another process using it?" And the same about some "administartioncatalog"
[20:51] <DasEi> Strumpa: it keeps up like this for 15 min, each sudo longers it again for this time
[20:51] <SianaGearz> andeeeuk: pm :)
[20:51] <DasEi> Strumpa: synaptics open ? softwarecenter ?
[20:51] <BriteLeaf> I am trying to install a game in ubuntu 10.10 using the CL and it tries to install into the .opt directory.  When I hit forward, it says the directory /opt is not writable by the user. I have tried it both in user mode and sudo mode. I am a Linux noob. Any ideas anyone?
[20:51] <nothingspecial> andeeeuk: On another machine, this one doesn`t have X but I know it appears in the tray and supports notifications and what have you
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> eaerth: if you just run fsck with suitable options on the unmounted partition, it should make sure itsok
[20:52] <she_dyed> DragonKeeper: no broadcast button, it might be some other menu
[20:52] <Strumpa> DasEi: Oh, yeah. Synaptics. Closed it now.
[20:52] <andeeeuk> <SianaGearz: ok thanks
[20:52] <ActionParsnip> !fixapt | Strumpa
[20:52] <DasEi> Strumpa: :)
[20:52] <jeb_> log?
[20:52] <Strumpa> ActionParsnip: What is that? :P
[20:52] <Strumpa> DasEi: I guess I have alot to learn about this :)
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> zth: boot to livecd and chroot to the installed OS then run: sudo update-grub
[20:53] <DragonKeeper> DasEi  she_dyed     there isnt any sort of broadcast or video button that i can see :S
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> Strumpa: why the sticky out tongue?
[20:53] <eaerth> ActionParsnip: it's totally unmounted and i still get the same fsck response...
[20:53] <DasEi> nanovany: kernel 2.6.24-27, which distro ?
[20:53] <Strumpa> ActionParsnip: I am sorry. That wont happen again.
[20:53] <eaerth> ActionParsnip: i really need this to work so i can fresh install ;[
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> Strumpa: if you get that output it is likely your packages are locked
[20:53] <she_dyed> DragonKeeper: any of your buddies there right now?
[20:54] <guntbert> Strumpa: did anybody give you already a hint for the ubuntu-manual? http://ubuntu-manual.org/
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> eaerth: if you data is unhealthy, yes
[20:54] <Strumpa> ActionParsnip: I just closed Synaptics and then it worked :)
[20:54] <Strumpa> guntbert: Nope. I'm totally new. I'll check it out ;)
[20:54] <nanovany> :S:S.. distro, I dont know what  it is, I am new in ubuntu jejeje..
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> Strumpa: same deal, only ONE app can access the packages at one time
[20:54] <Strumpa> guntbert: Thanks :)
[20:54] <eaerth> ActionParsnip: it should be fine i just had it up not two hours ago and was transferring files.
[20:54] <DragonKeeper> she_dyed   yes on my contact list   -- not physically in the room
[20:55] <DasEi> Strumpa: read the links one provides here, part by part you'll get it
[20:55] <Strumpa> ActionParsnip: Yes, I know. I just didn't realize I had Synaptics running.
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> nanovany: "Linux" is the kernel, the "distro" or distribution is what is built around, in this case it's Ubuntu
[20:55] <Chillance> ok, so, after I just now update my Ubuntu 10.04, the icons in Wine are blue! How do I change that?
[20:55] <eaerth> ActionParsnip: i tried to create a text document there and it wouldn't let me do that or add files... i think i can still take files from there and put it on my machine fine.
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> Strumpa: every day is a school day
[20:55] <Andre_Gondim> If I need to connect with dial up, and I only have a live cd in my hand, how may I do this
[20:55] <she_dyed> DragonKeeper: i'm only thinking that it's super fancy that it will show 'broadcast' when you're chatting with someone...
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> eaerth: i suggest you fsck -a /dev/partitionname    to ensure its health, then check mount options
[20:56] <Strumpa> DasEi, ActionParsnip: I guess so :)
[20:56] <Sean93> how do i install this? http://www.gamershell.com/download_63072.shtml it asks me to insert disk 0
[20:56] <Strumpa> I really like these jelly windows though :D
[20:56] <kl0x> lol
[20:56] <kl0x> compiz rulz
[20:56] <nanovany> aaah oookk, jeje
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: 13Gb!!!?
[20:56] <nanovany> UBUNTU 10.10 maverick
[20:57] <BlaDe^> can anyone help me with the symbolic link for php ?
[20:57] <BlaDe^> I created the link to /usr/local/bin/php but the php command still doesn't work --- what else should I do?
[20:57] <DragonKeeper> she_dyed  there is nothing that says video or broadcast   i checked all menus on every windows  i even looked at configure toolbars incase the button wasnt there by default
[20:57] <Sean93> y
[20:57] <Sean93> ActionParsnip: yes
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: did you download via the torrent?
[20:57] <LjL> BlaDe^: uuh, you compiled your own PHP?
[20:57] <Sean93> no wget
[20:57] <BlaDe^> yeah LjL
[20:57] <furi> i'd like to be able to get my G510 up to its fullest functionality. i'd like to use the applets that came with it for it, like the clock and the media thing. not panel applets, but applets that appear on its screen.
[20:58] <LjL> BlaDe^: ... why?
[20:58] <eaerth> ActionParsnip: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sbd1
[20:58] <eaerth> /dev/sbd1: The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
[20:58] <eaerth> filesystem. (it's not ext2 though, it's ext3/ext4)
[20:58] <Sean93> ActionParsnip: no wget
[20:58] <BlaDe^> I needed to make some changes to the core
[20:58] <she_dyed> DragonKeeper: what i'm trying to say is start a chat with someone
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> eaerth: if you run:  sudo fdisk -l    you can list the available partitions
[20:58] <she_dyed> DragonKeeper: just the regular chat and see if anything changes in the window
[20:59] <kl0x> how come nohup /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.9/thunderbird_exe $1 & exit doesn't work in script but does in shell?
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: did you md5 test the file you downloaded?
[20:59] <LjL> BlaDe^: uhm, you could always "apt-get source php", make the changes and then dpkg-build. anyway... so you created a symlink from what to /usr/local/bin/php?
[20:59] <DragonKeeper> she_dyed   yes im in a chat window   there is nothing :S     i thought kopete had webcam support
[20:59] <DasEi> nanovany: ?
[20:59] <Sean93> ActionParsnip: no, how do i do that?
[20:59] <eaerth> ActionParsnip: well wouldn't it not show up because you had me unmount it?
[20:59] <nanovany> I am using UBUNTU 10.10 maverick DasEi
[20:59] <Shway> Hey, I need some help with Ubuntu
[20:59] <fabrijz> QUESTION i have a lenovo t61 laptop but the screen doesnt work  so im working with another screen conected to the vga port but everytime i try to install ubuntu the external screen goes to sleep .. it happens when i use wubi or directly from the cd. Is there away to go around this?
[20:59] <she_dyed> DragonKeeper: who told you that
[20:59] <BlaDe^> LjL:  from /usr/local/php/bin/php-5.3.3
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: you need the MD5 sum that the file is supposed to have, then run: md5sum filename    to calculate the file's md5 you have
[21:00] <LjL> BlaDe^: what happens exactly when you run "php"?
[21:00] <BlaDe^> it says to get it from apt
[21:00] <DasEi> nanovany: the ati driver seems to have loaded fine, so what again was the issue then ?
[21:00] <Sean93> how do i use ubotto
[21:00] <LjL> BlaDe^: is /usr/local/bin in the PATH? type "echo $PATH"
[21:00] <LjL> !usage > Sean93    (Sean93, see the private message from ubottu)
[21:00] <Sean93> or is it ubottu?
[21:00] <DasEi> !brain > Sean93
[21:00] <spanda> eaerth: are you mounting /dev/sdb1 somehow, what cmd are u using?
[21:00] <kl0x> fabrijz, i guess install ubuntu in vm and learn steps and o it blind! xD
[21:00] <BlaDe^> LjL:  blade@spooshi:/usr/local/php/bin$ ./php-5.3.3 -v
[21:00] <BlaDe^> that works
[21:00] <DragonKeeper> she_dyed   google  +   kopete settings wuddnt have a webcam device section if doesnt support :S
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: it's ubottu, you can use her factoids by typing:   !factoid     replace factoid with what you need
[21:01] <LjL> BlaDe^: ok, that doesn't mean it's in the path though
[21:01] <Pindakaas> hi i am trying to learn the ubuntu server guide but what does the command "chown do ? can someone explain that to a noob?
[21:01] <BlaDe^> LjL: -bash: echo /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games: No such file or directory
[21:01] <eaerth> spanda: i'd like to mount it and use it but i can only get as far as mounting it and i can't transfer files to it, i'm getting an input/output error when i try... ;[
[21:01] <DasEi> Pindakaas: own a file or folder to a user
[21:01] <she_dyed> DragonKeeper: time to /j #kopete
[21:01] <fabrijz> kl0x thnks u think thats the only solution? :-/
[21:01] <DragonKeeper> ok
[21:01] <Pindakaas> so it adds the richts of a folder to a specific user
[21:01] <BlaDe^> LjL:  lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   29 2010-10-27 14:32 php -> /usr/local/php5/bin/php-5.3.3
[21:02] <spanda> eaerth: what are you typing something like sudo mount /dev/sdX /mnt/somewhere -o rw
[21:02] <spanda> ?
[21:02] <drgord> yo!
[21:02] <DasEi> Pindakaas: other way round, users rights to a target
[21:02] <kl0x> fabrijz, i guess
[21:02] <BriteLeaf> I am trying to install a game in ubuntu 10.10 using the CL and it tries to install into the /opt directory.  When I hit forward, it says the directory /opt is not writable by the user. I have tried it both in user mode and sudo mode. I am a Linux noob. Any ideas anyone?
[21:02] <xrage445> i have a problem with the latest version of ubuntu (10.10). Intel GMA 950 or something causes it to freeze and i can't read dmesg or system message, same thing happens to single-user mode.
[21:02] <Pindakaas> thank you dasei it clears things up
[21:02] <she_dyed> fabrijz: how do you know the first screen isnt working, no IBM logo when booted by itself?
[21:02] <guntbert> Pindakaas: for managing a server you will need several CLI tools -- learn how to use them with man (ie man chown     in this case)
[21:02] <nanovany> but I don know:s..
[21:02] <DasEi> Pindakaas: welcome, a reading one :)
[21:02] <LjL> BlaDe^: that's weird. but wait, the "ls" output you just gave says /usr/local/php5/bin/php-5.3.3, but earlier you were doing /usr/local/php/bin/php-5.3.3 (without the "5") - maybe it's that? is /usr/local/php5 actually there?
[21:03] <nanovany> cuando actualize el ubuntu a 10.10 ocurrio este problema
[21:03] <eaerth> spanda: i'm running "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /media/Oneiros"
[21:03] <eaerth> spanda: woops, not hda1 - it's sbd1
[21:03] <BlaDe^> ah crap!
[21:03] <BlaDe^> my bad
[21:03] <Pindakaas> "a reading one"? dont you get them here?
[21:03] <nanovany> When I upgrade ubuntu to 10.10 this problem occurred
[21:03] <k5673> !ubuntu-es > k5673
[21:04] <Pindakaas> @ dasei : what would be the essentials to use the "man" command on for a beginner?
[21:04] <spanda> eaerth: and its an ext3/4 partition?
[21:04] <nomadon_> carte son non reconnu:ubuntu maverick avec netbook aspire one 753. merci de m'aider ubuntero débutant
[21:04] <LjL> !fr | nomadon_
[21:04] <Nek> hey
[21:04] <spanda> or ntfs?
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> hi nek
[21:04] <DasEi> Pindakaas: chown ? hehe, see:
[21:04] <DasEi> !manual
[21:04] <Nek> do you know where I can have the spotify-fixed ?
[21:04] <fabrijz> she dyed: i got ibm logo(lenovo) and i also get the option to choose from (i guess grub) you know when u have 5 secs to choose other options i even got the screen to choose if i want to install ubuntu, try it or do mem test but after that nothing
[21:05] <eaerth> spanda: correct, it's ext3/4.
[21:05] <Pindakaas> i have already donwloaded that in PDF. I will try to use man as much as i can. Thank you for the good advice :D
[21:05] <DasEi> !bash > Pindakaas
[21:05] <ActionParsnip> Nek: what spotify-fixed?
[21:05] <k5673> !es > nanovany
[21:05] <eaerth> i'm about to throw my computer out the window.
[21:05] <she_dyed> fabrijz: does it have the Blue Fn key
[21:05] <spanda> eaerth: mount -text3 /dev.sdb1 /medeia/Yourdir ?
[21:05] <Pindakaas> thanks again DasEi
[21:06] <Sean93> ActionParsnip: how do i find out what the proper md5 should be?
[21:06] <xrage445> Will anyone help me?
[21:06] <she_dyed> fabrijz: and another blue icon showing twin screens?
[21:06] <DasEi> Pindakaas: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[21:06] <aeon-ltd> !ask | xrage445
[21:06] <Sir_Leto> grub-update didn't work, and now ubuntu isn't bootable at all, I should've edited the file instead of relying on that
[21:06] <spanda> eaerth: sry /dev/sdb1
[21:06] <zaxonspox> where are stored options for CD automount in Ub 10.10?
[21:06] <Nek> ActionParsnip, with the new ubuntu, spotify doesn't work. One guy told to me that it exist a package for fix spotify
[21:06] <kl0x> omg, howcome "nohup /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.9/thunderbird $1 & exit" doest'n work in a script
[21:06] <fabrijz> she_dyed: of course unless ur not talking about my keyboard :p
[21:07] <xrage445> I'm having issues with the latest installment of ubuntu. It freezes on startup[graphics: intel gma 950] and I can't even read dmesg because there is nothing in there.
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: i'd just search for the hash you generate., this is how you CHECK the file you have. You have failed to check the consistency of the file you downloaded so you have no idea if the file is good or not. Torrents add extra checks to the data
[21:07] <viewer> i'm trying to get IPBlock to start automatically at boot, it has an "Autostart" settings checkbox which is checked, but when x starts ipblock doesn't, yet it seems like the iplist backend might be running blocking stuff, but i dont know if it would run the automatic updates like the ipblock frontend..., how can I make the ipblock gui run on startup (being that it wants sudo privaleges to run)?
[21:07] <Pindakaas> yes that is stuf i am really hapy with. I am going back to study it. Thank you !
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> Nek: the native one?
[21:07] <she_dyed> fabrijz: ok good, this might prevent the external from sleeping
[21:07] <BriteLeaf> I am trying to install a game in ubuntu 10.10 using the CL and it tries to install into the /opt directory.  When I hit forward, it says the directory /opt is not writable by the user. I have tried it both in user mode and sudo mode. I am a Linux noob. Any ideas anyone?
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> viewer: add it in your user startup items
[21:07] <Nek> ActionParsnip, yep
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> BriteLeaf: run the installer with sudo
[21:07] <Sir_Leto> ls list (memdisk) (hd0) (hd0,msdos1), etc
[21:07] <DasEi> Pindakaas:np, let's keep each other running, have fun
[21:08] <kl0x> briteleaf give it permissions temporaly
[21:08] <Sir_Leto> I did something wrong
[21:08] <viewer> ActionParsnip, but would I have to do gksudo and type the pasword in every time i boot?
[21:08] <BriteLeaf> tried that, as I stated
[21:08] <sanduz2> How come if I have a bunch of torrents downloading, my cache fills up to the brim and everything becomes slower?
[21:08] <she_dyed> fabrijz: at boot you hold the Fn and press the twin screen thing, there are 3 settings you cycle through, 1 is solo screen laptop, 2 is clone, 3 is solo external
[21:08] <ActionParsnip> Nek: i see, i use the windows one via wine as I am on an unlimited free account
[21:08] <fogobogo> !pkgstats
[21:08] <fogobogo> oops
[21:08] <fabrijz> she_dyed: yeah i did that but nothing happens
[21:09] <she_dyed> fabrijz: remember to press FN at BIOS time, not during boot process
[21:09] <Sir_Leto> sanduz2, are you using Transmission? It sucks relly bad.
[21:09] <BriteLeaf> kl0x: how do I give it permissions?
[21:09] <ActionParsnip> BriteLeaf: sudo should give it full access. You could try making the folder it is destined for in /opt then use sudo chown to make the folder owned by your user
[21:09] <sanduz2> nope im using deluge but i think the same thing did happen in transmission
[21:09] <DasEi> sanduz2: I don't know what your bandwith is, but for my experiences more than a 4 at the same time are overkill in efficency
[21:09] <kl0x> briteleaf chown better yup
[21:09] <Sir_Leto> Maybe your drive is slow.
[21:10] <sanduz2> DasEi, i dont mean bandwidth. linux starts to cache everything and then the system itself becomes a little slow at times
[21:10] <BriteLeaf> thanks. I'll try that then
[21:10] <fabrijz> she_dyed: yeah havent done that thanks ill tryit right now!
[21:10] <sanduz2> right now my cache is maxed out
[21:10] <she_dyed> fabrijz: most people forget that last item
[21:10] <DasEi> sanduz2: what is a bunch of torrents, a dozen ? your ram ? cache settings of deluge ?
[21:10] <eaerth> spanda: yeah, now it's saying it doesn't exist... and i'm looking right at it...
[21:11] <ActionParsnip> Sir_Leto: transmission is fine
[21:11] <haarp> hey, this might sound like a stupid question. but when i use longer keys in ecryptfs, will this impact cpu load when reading the fs?
[21:11] <Sir_Leto> It uses a ton of cpu
[21:11] <Segfault198> This might be a silly question, but is anyone experiencing really really slow download speeds with apt-get?
[21:11] <DasEi> sanduz2: also regressed the maximum number of simultaneous connections ?
[21:11] <spanda> eaerth: lol. what msg exactly?
[21:11] <eaerth> spanda: mount: mount point media/Osperous does not exist
[21:11] <haarp> Sir_Leto: are you referring to my question?
[21:11] <guntbert> Segfault198: use another mirror
[21:11] <Sir_Leto> no
[21:11] <spanda> eaerth: you missed the leading / ?
[21:12] <sanduz2> DasEi, i have like 30 torrents, my ram is 4GB, cache size: 512, cache expiry: 60, max connections: 2000
[21:12] <guntbert> !who | Sir_Leto
[21:12] <eaerth> spanda: oh jees, what the heck is wrong with me.
[21:12] <spanda> eaerth: i.e. /media/Osperous ?
[21:12] <Segfault198> guntbert: Thanks, I have but I don't mind trying another!
[21:12] <sanduz2> DasEi, this happpens all the time on linux when i have a lot of torrents, it even happened on ubuntu 10.04 before i messed with any settings
[21:12] <DasEi> sanduz2: so set connection to a 128, maximum 4 torrents a time.. there you go for a 16MB/line downside
[21:13] <guntbert> Segfault198: sometimes some mirrors deliver very slowly
[21:13] <zaxonspox> where are stored options for CD automount in Ub 10.10?
[21:13] <Segfault198> gunbert: I've noticed. I just couldn't decide if it was on my end or not. Never hurts to get some feedback.
[21:13] <sanduz2> DasEi, but why does linux cache all my torrents? it doesnt seem to be useful
[21:13] <DasEi> sanduz2: and if you got less bandwith, even 2 or 3 torrents are right
[21:14] <kpoman> guys, is there a way to see which services are scheduled to be autostarted ?^I think one of them is freezing the machine. I want to start one by one on failsafe mode to check which one freezes
[21:14] <DasEi> sanduz2: it does it to not kill your disk
[21:14] <sanduz2> my bandwidth is fine, its the system itself that lags
[21:14] <kpoman> I suppose it is some powermanager or acpi related one
[21:14] <sanduz2> ah, that is a good point DasEi cant have my disk dying :)
[21:14] <sanduz2> ill keep the lag then lol
[21:14] <eaerth1> good grief... the entire reason i'm trying to back this up is because the screen keeps going black on me and it just did it again...
[21:14] <eaerth1> spanda: what was that command again?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> !startup | kpoman
[21:15] <spanda> eaerth1: mount -text4 /dev/sdb1 /media/yourmountpoint
[21:15] <viewer> i am trying to boot to a front end like a kiosk, and if i put ipblock in my user startup programs, i would have to type my password into gksudo at boot every time (right? not kiosky), is it possible to set it up so that it is launched differently or from somewhere else that automatically has access?
[21:15] <eaerth1> spanda: 3 or 4?
[21:15] <DasEi> sanduz2: you could make it write to disk directly, but first that's real disk-stress (also mind re-checking), second slow on high loads
[21:15] <kpoman> ubottu: it is more about main services like apache etc... that I want to disable... it is not session startup, it is system startup
[21:15] <spanda> eaerth1: or text3 to mount as ext3
[21:16] <spanda> eaerth1: sry -text3
[21:16] <DasEi> sanduz2: and also defrags stronger then
[21:16] <DasEi> !bum | kpoman
[21:16] <spanda> eaerth: 4 if its ext4 3 if its ext3
[21:16] <sanduz2> thank you DasEi , ill definitely take the lag over a dead disk and fragmentation
[21:17] <spanda> eaerth: they're backward compatible so mounting ext4 as 3 is cool.
[21:17] <DasEi> sanduz2: which bandwith do you have downside ?
[21:17] <viewer> !grub | viewer
[21:17] <PeterNL> Hi, what is a good a/v capturing program that can record video from v4l2 and audio from line-in, and at the same time display the video while it is recording?
[21:17] <sanduz2> i have like 25mbps
[21:17] <spanda> eaerth1: 4 if its ext4 3 if its ext3
[21:17] <spanda> eaerth1: they're backward compatible so mounting ext4 as 3 is cool.
[21:17] <DasEi> kpoman: bum is also an convienent app vor viewing/modifying startup
[21:17] <sanduz2> DasEi, currently its at 1.5mbs
[21:17] <Fletchs> Where is a group password stored if it lists x in the /etc/group file? Im using sles10 and there is no gshadow file
[21:18] <zaxonspox> where are stored options for CD automount in Ub 10.10?
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> zaxonspox: can you expand on that please
[21:18] <kl0x> how come i can't run 'nohup /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0.9/thunderbird_exe $1 & exit' from script
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> zaxonspox: if you add the CD in /etc/fstab    then it will automount just fine
[21:19] <xrage445> ubuntu (latest) freezes on startup, started doing this at around 9.10 - cant read dmesg or single-user because well, it all freezes, im able to do stuff for like 10 seconds.. can anyone help me with that?
[21:19] <kpoman> DasEi: I only have command line, the machine is 2500km far from here
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> kl0x: you can
[21:19] <zaxonspox> ActionParsnip, my CD is mounted with rights 0500, i need i.e. 0755 where is the config file for automounting CD options?
[21:19] <eaerth1> spanda: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail  or so ;[
[21:19] <ActionParsnip> zaxonspox: edit the entry in /etc/fstab
[21:19] <kpoman> DasEi: and it is freezing when booting. I managed to boot in failsafe mode and now am over ssh
[21:20] <DasEi> sanduz2: I'd set it not to more then 200 connections, cache blocks not smaller < 512k, 5 torrents same time
[21:20] <zaxonspox> ActionParsnip, in Ub 10.10 i have nothing about CD in /etc/fstab
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> kl0x: if you use:  killall thunderbird_exe    it will die
[21:20] <kpoman> DasEi: I want to get rid of everything that autostarts, because it seems something is causing freeze. I would love to disable acpi and to put only those services I need: ssh and mysql
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> !fstab | zaxonspox
[21:20] <spanda> eaerth1: sounds like you don't have a fs on that drive; what does dmesg | tail give?
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> zaxonspox: that link has an entry for CD you can add in /etc/fstab   for the optical drive
[21:20] <kpoman> DasEi: so how do I disable acpi from grub ? and how do I list the services currently auto-started, and get rid of some of them ?
[21:21] <DasEi> kpoman: but it wasn't headless before ? configure ssh for x, update the machine and before : analyse the logs to see what went wrong
[21:21] <kl0x> ActionParsnip, what i want is to call thunderbird through nohup and exit while it runs
[21:21] <istevenmon> does anyone knows if VRRP does still have the patent issues with CISCO?
[21:21] <zaxonspox> ActionParsnip, i do understand that, but WHY my CD is automounted WITHOUT ANY cd entries in fstab?
[21:21] <kl0x> ActionParsnip, and it doesn't work in script
[21:21] <sanduz2> DasEi, what does the "max connections" mean exactly? how many people can connect to your computer? why is it bad to put this high?
[21:21] <kpoman> DasEi: I cant analyse the logs. it is a remote machine and it freezes. i cant even see logs.
[21:21] <kpoman> DasEi: how do I list auto-start services ?
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> zaxonspox: it uses stuff in gnome, but if you want different options you can use fstab
[21:22] <DasEi> kpoman: you could give i manually from the grubmenue, but over ssh.. acpi=off works, got to put it in grub
[21:22] <kpoman> DasEi: and how to disable some of them ?
[21:22] <kpoman> DasEi: let me take it out from grub ... just a minute
[21:22] <zaxonspox> ActionParsnip, i can put stuff in fstab, but i would like to know how it works now "in the gnome stuff"
[21:22] <jghkhjkk> hi
[21:23] <DasEi> sanduz2: I dont about deluge, but for usual best connectons get sorted, else you will ned more host-ressources, obvious, nor ?
[21:23] <DasEi> know*

[21:23] <ActionParsnip> zaxonspox: that I am unsure of but I'm sure the many search engines online can tell you
[21:23] <DasEi> kpoman: try acpi=off
[21:23] <sanduz2> DasEi, hmm okay thank you
[21:23] <DasEi> !bootoptions
[21:23] <PeterNL> Hi, what is a good a/v capturing program that can record video from v4l2 and audio from line-in, and at the same time display the video while it is recording?
[21:24] <DasEi> kpoman: and..
[21:24] <jghkhjkk> How do I find out my hostname that my isp assigns to me?
[21:24] <kpoman> DasEi: I put both ... coacpi and acpi=off
[21:24] <kpoman> noacpi
[21:24] <DasEi> kpoman:in a state like this, maybe have a working default to boot case you mess (locking yourself out, otherwise)
[21:24] <DasEi> kpoman: I wouldN't try that, see above
[21:25] <spanda> eaerth1: how abt sudo fdisk /dev/hdc -l
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> jghkhjkk: cpc1-seac10-0-0-cust324.7-2.cable.virginmedia.com
[21:25] <kpoman> DasEi: i didnt understand what you said
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> jghkhjkk: http://www.hcidata.info/host2ip.htm
[21:25] <DasEi> kpoman: first watch the logs, and see whats up, then..
[21:25] <kl0x> ActionParsnip, you forgot about me..mmm i see
[21:25] <kl0x> ActionParsnip, =P
[21:25] <kpoman> DasEi: I edited menu.lst and have add noacpi and acpi=off at the end of the default entry
[21:25] <ActionParsnip> jghkhjkk: your IP can be seen with http://www.ipchicken.com
[21:25] <DasEi> kpoman: update/grade the box, alter ssh to allow x, then..
[21:26] <kpoman> DasEi: I cant watch the logs
[21:26] <jghkhjkk> ActionParsnip, is  cpc1-seac10-0-0-cust324.7-2.cable.virginmedia.com my hostname?
[21:26] <DasEi> kpoman: make sure a reboot won't kill shh access, too
[21:26] <kpoman> DasEi: what do you mean by alter ssh to allow x ? I dont want xorg !
[21:26] <DasEi> kpoman: why  no logs ?
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> kl0x: i have no reply so have nothing intelligent to add, so said nothing so others can add
[21:26] <eaerth1> spanda: yeah nothing happened when i ran that. ;\
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> jghkhjkk: you IP appears to be <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:26] <kpoman> DasEi: because the machine freezes !!! then when it reboots i dont have the last logs
[21:26] <Sean93> where can i host an image file temporarily, just so i can show it to you?
[21:26] <kl0x> ActionParsnip, i know i know i was just kidding
[21:26] <jghkhjkk> but I don't have a hostname?
[21:26] <kpoman> DasEi: of the last thing it did... i should boot over a livecd to see
[21:26] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: imageshack
[21:27] <spanda> eaerth1: sounds to me like you've got a broken hard drive ...
[21:27] <DasEi> kpoman: in the beginning you said it has had working x and now that won't work no more
[21:27] <kpoman> DasEi: and i am 2500km from there
[21:27] <Fletchs> Where are group passwords stored if "x" is listed as the password in /etc/group and there is no gshadow file? Its a bonus question for class, we are using SUSE 10.
[21:27] <eaerth1> spanda: dude don't sayyyyyyyyy thatttt it's not even mine. ;S
[21:27] <kl0x> alright ppl, c ya, have fun, peave & love lol
[21:27] <jghkhjkk> I guess I don't have a hostname :(
[21:27] <kpoman> DasEi: i dont need x, i want now to disable everything but ssh
[21:27] <spanda> eaerth1: anything in the dmesg?
[21:27] <ActionParsnip> Fletchs: in /etc/shadow
[21:27] <eaerth1> maybe i can try plugging it into my mom's windows laptop and see if it works? because i think the files on it are still okay...
[21:27] <DasEi> kpoman: ok then, no ssh x
[21:27] <kpoman> DasEi: no, i just want ssh and some basics
[21:28] <jghkhjkk> ActionParsnip, so I don't have a hostname?
[21:28] <kpoman> DasEi: how do i list the autostarted services ?
[21:28] <DasEi> kpoman: but you know can ssh in ?
[21:28] <eaerth1> spanda: says the same thing
[21:28] <LjL> jghkhjkk: if your IP had a reverse hostname, it'd show up when you do /whois jghkhjkk
[21:28] <Fletchs> ActionParsnip:  isnt that just for users and not groups?
[21:28] <kpoman> DasEi: no, i told someone there to manually configure eth0 and start ssh
[21:28] <spanda> eaerth1: you'd need windows support for ext3 or ext4 to read it.
[21:28] <kpoman> DasEi: and that person took 2 hours to configure eth0 and start ssh
[21:28] <dalton2345> Hi everyone, I'm just wondering, I'm still on karmic should I upgrade to 10.10
[21:28] <kpoman> DasEi: on failsafe mode btw
[21:29] <DasEi> kpoman: aah, oh je
[21:29] <spanda> eaerth1: it isn't a drive off a windows machine is it?
[21:29] <kpoman> yeo
[21:29] <eaerth1> spanda: well it was used mainly on a windows.
[21:29] <ActionParsnip> Fletchs: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Shadow-Password-HOWTO-2.html
[21:29] <jghkhjkk> LjL, I'm using mobile internet, perhaps that's why they don't have a hostname....
[21:29] <eaerth1> spanda: and i know it works because i've used it quite a bit in the past with no trouble...
[21:29] <Sean93> ok, i trying to install a game in wine. It starts installing fine but then tells me to mount disk0. I'm not sure how to do that. This is the contents of the installation folder http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/897/screenshotaion2002fulli.png
[21:29] <kpoman> DasEi: that is why i want a safe-booting box first. I mean, get rid of everything but ssh, then start adding services and see what happens
[21:29] <jghkhjkk> I didn't know you could have no hostname....
[21:29] <rww> dalton2345: I'd recommend upgrading to Lucid and then staying on it for two years. It's an LTS, so it's supported for a lot longer, and if you stay on LTSes you only need to upgrade every two years.
[21:29] <xrage445> 1.2 hours of waiting, i'll ask and wait another hour for assistance. why is ubuntu (latest) freezing on startup? even if i disable compiz. won't even let me read  dmesg or system logs.
[21:29] <spanda> eaerth1: oh OK, probably its either ntfs or fat, not ext 3 or 4
[21:29] <eaerth1> yeah it's ntfs
[21:29] <LjL> jghkhjkk: actually there's a few non-mobile ISPs that provide no hostnames
[21:29] <spanda> try mount -tvfat /dev/sdb1 ...
[21:29] <PeterNL> Hi, what is a good a/v capturing program that can record video from v4l2 and audio from line-in, and at the same time display the video while it is recording?
[21:30] <dalton2345> rww: isn't karmic a LTS
[21:30] <rww> dalton2345: no
[21:30] <spanda> eaerth1: try mount -tvfat /dev/sdb1
[21:30] <jghkhjkk> Is it normal for mobile ISPs to provide no hostname?
[21:30] <kpoman> DasEi: so the question is: how to see what is autostarted ? and how to get rid of as much as possible stuff there
[21:30] <dail34> Set up an ssh server, and am seemingly browsing the internet through a SOCKS connection through it. Also configured Dropbox to use it. However: is there an easy way to switch all my traffic to the socks server?
[21:30] <jghkhjkk> As in 3G internet
[21:30] <spanda> eaerth1: and then try mount -tntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/...
[21:30] <zaxonspox> ActionParsnip, the entry for cd in fstab looks like this: /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,nosuid,nodev,uhelper=udisks,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,mode=0700,dmode=0700 0 0 and msg: Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: only root can mount
[21:30] <DasEi> kpoman: so well.. but if can ssh in, you can now view the logs, too, and find waht goes rung, and also can configure grub to boot safemode, though then ssh isn't up.. this also needs to be altered
[21:30] <rww> dalton2345: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
[21:30] <dalton2345> rww: i will download the ISO, and do a clean install, do u like it?
[21:31] <dalton2345> rww: do you like 10.10
[21:31] <spanda> dail34: sweet. There's a gnome setting YMMV, I believe
[21:31] <eaerth1> spanda: ah, the first one i don't think worked as it isn't recognizing -tvfat as a command
[21:31] <ActionParsnip> zaxonspox: then run:   sudo mount /media/cdrom0
[21:31] <Sean93> How do i make top display only zombie processes
[21:32] <spanda> eaerth1: mount -t vfat /dev/sdb /media/... ?
[21:32] <jags> hey did they fix gnome-do docky interface yet in 10.10?
[21:32] <jags> I'm using the old version, Is it safe to upgrade yet?
[21:33] <PeterNL> Hi, what is a good a/v capturing program that can record video from v4l2 and audio from line-in, and at the same time display the video while it is recording?
[21:33] <rww> dalton2345: I haven't used 10.10 much. 10.04 (lucid) is good, though.
[21:33] <ezhangin> hey guys, why would my video playback be pausing all the time with 10.10?
[21:33] <spanda> dail34: system|preferences|network proxy
[21:33] <dail34> @spanda Yes, you're right, under System>Network Proxy
[21:33] <ezhangin> It's playing off a RAID-5 that's also torrenting but this wasn't happening with 10.04
[21:33] <DasEi> kpoman: which distro is that box running ?
[21:33] <fogobogo> PeterNL: mplayer?
[21:33] <dail34> ha, yes. Thanks so much! I was getting rather bogged down with SSH_VPN/openvpn servers/VPN whatnot.
[21:34] <PeterNL> fogobogo: how do I do that with mplayer?
[21:34] <spanda> dail34: np :-)
[21:34] <fogobogo> PeterNL: by reading the manual
[21:34] <DasEi> !info vdr | PeterNL:
[21:34] <dalton2345> rww: ah ok, i will do a clean install, i heard upgrading can erase the grub
[21:34] <eaerth1> spanda: that seemed to mount it but i still can't transfer files over to it...
[21:34] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/killing-zombie-process.html
[21:34] <PeterNL> I'll try vdr. Thanks DasEi!
[21:34] <ka1ser> that Network proxy is just for gnome applications.
[21:35] <eaerth1> is it possible this has to do with fstab?
[21:35] <DasEi>  PeterNL: several vdr do that, mythtv should, too
[21:35]  * PeterNL doesn't like mplayer
[21:35] <spanda> eaerth: can you /see/ files on it?
[21:35] <abehad701> i'm new to xubuntu. just installed on a toshiba portege r100. trying to change my display to 1024x768 but there is no option for anythign greater than 800x600. i've been searching the web for hours trying to find the answer and nothign seems to work. my biggest problem is that the most common solution involves editing xorg.conf, which i don't have (and i don't think is used anymore if i understand correctly). does anyone know how i can fix this? my graphics
[21:35] <abehad701>  card is a trident cyberblade xp4m32
[21:35] <eaerth1> spanda: yes i can see files fine.
[21:35] <spanda> eaerth1: and what's the file permissions if you look at them i.e. ls -al /media/O...
[21:36] <eaerth1> spanda: i can even retrieve files from it no problem. just can't put anything on it for some reason...
[21:36] <DasEi> PeterNL: the later is quite a huge packet with several extensions, be aware of some config coming to you ten
[21:36] <wolfganggold> !info vdr
[21:36] <ActionParsnip> abehad701: can you run:  lspci | grep -i vga    what is output?
[21:36] <PeterNL> I know mythtv, not what I'm looking for...
[21:36] <kpoman> DasEi: sorry on the phone
[21:36] <DasEi> kpoman: which distro is that box running ?
[21:36] <wolfganggold> !info mythtv
[21:36] <kpoman> DasEi: 10.10
[21:36] <eaerth1> spanda: owner is root
[21:36] <spanda> eaerth1: did you mount it as ntfs
[21:36] <eaerth1> ;\
[21:37] <furi> i'd like to be able to use the G buttons along with the M buttons, and the applets, for the logitech G510. how can i do this?
[21:37] <PeterNL> DasEi: my source is not a DVb card. Should I use vdr?
[21:37] <hyperstream> !xubuntu-channels > abehad701
[21:37] <spanda> eaerth1: are u trying to put files on /as/ root?
[21:37] <DasEi> kpoman: so startup is handled /etc/init then mainly, and some /etc/init.d/
[21:37] <Sean93> ok, i trying to install a game in wine. It starts installing fine but then tells me to mount disk0. I'm not sure how to do that. This is the contents of the installation folder http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/897/screenshotaion2002fulli.png
[21:37] <eaerth1> spanda: yes, i opened it in a nautilus with root privs
[21:37] <ActionParsnip> Sean93: did you check the appdb for compatibility?
[21:38] <Starn> Hello. mmm Irssi for windows ^.^ now than. i got my entire hd wiped. so now i got windows only. 283gb free hd.. suggested amount for ubuntu would be?? 140gb? about half?
[21:38] <Sean93> ActionParsnip: no, i will now
[21:38] <DasEi> PeterNL: IT's longer ago, I did this with.. tvtime and .. an vdr app I don't remeber, on an analog card, I think it was vdr
[21:38] <eaerth1> spanda: i don't know why it'd be root though, earlier i was transferring files over to it with no problem, as myself as the user, not root.
[21:38] <hyperstream> Sean93, #wine might be able to help also
[21:38] <mmestnik> Hello, I've reported this previously(perhaps just yesterday) and now I have a lot more information.  After booting up I'll login and get Compiz and gtk-window-decorator.  However none of the windows have boarders, but they can be moved and resized by selecting these options from there task-bar menu.
[21:38] <hyperstream> Sean93, opps
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> Starn: 10Gb for / is fine
[21:39] <spanda> eaerth1: have a fiddle with the mount options -- you probably need -o rw, user
[21:39] <hyperstream> Sean93, try #winehq *
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> Starn: the rest for /home with 2xRAM for swap unless you have more than 2Gb in which case make swap 1xRAM
[21:39] <mmestnik> How can I change the settings so that I get a generic window manager?  I don't care if it's compiz or not, anything is better then this.
[21:39] <Starn> actionparsnip alright sounds good enough for me. that is about how much i used with windows 7. before my hd got wiped now i'm on vista :(
[21:39] <eaerth1> spanda: how do i do that? and how do i achieve -o rw, user?
[21:39] <Starn> ActionParsnip: i have 1gb ram.
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> Starn: then 2Gb for swap
[21:40] <spanda> eaerth1: tute at http://my.opera.com/lounge/forums/topic.dml?id=83440
[21:40] <eaerth1> thanks
[21:40] <DasEi> kpoman:if you say frezing is a problem, I'd tip xserver or full disk, the later you can easily check.. and pull the logs else it's a walk in the dark
[21:40] <Starn> ActionParsnip: alright thanks man! so 12gb total for ubuntu 10 for OS and stuff 2 for swap. sound good?
[21:40] <hyperstream> ActionParsnip, do you know, if its any performance loss if you make the swap far greater than your physical ram?
[21:41] <eaerth1> spanda: if it means anything, i installed ntfs configuration tool and that doesn't help either when i enable read/write...
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> Starn: sure if 2Gb for your user data is enough. You can probably get away with 6Gb for /
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> hyperstream: in servers more swap is better
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> abehad701: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1329192&highlight=trident
[21:41] <hyperstream> ActionParsnip, thanks
[21:42] <spanda> eaerth1: did u mount the drive as ntfs? i.e. you typed mount -t ntfs ?
[21:42] <spanda> or did u type -tvfat ?
[21:42] <Chiz> Guys!
[21:42] <Starn> ActionParsnip: thanks. i'll setup ubuntu when windows is done updating.. know windows this will take a life time ;P
[21:42] <kpoman> DasEi: what do you mean by xserver or fulldisk ? i dont u nderstand
[21:42] <Chiz> Can anyone help me to start lxde? :-)
[21:43] <viewer> does anyone know if iplist does its own automatic updates or if the updates done in the IPBlock front end are special code in the front end?
[21:43] <eaerth1> spanda: yes, i typed the second command you sent me, -t ntfs or whatever.
[21:43] <Chiz> I installed Ubuntu 6.06.2
[21:43] <DasEi> spanda: since few distros ntfs is mostly registered without t-option in default
[21:43] <Chiz> But there is no GUI :-(
[21:43] <DasEi> kpoman: if that box freezes at bootup, there must be a reason..
[21:43] <lontra> hi i am trying to remove emacs23 and when i do apt-get installs emacs22 ... how can i make emacs23 get fully removed?
[21:43] <Chiz> How to start any gui there?
[21:43] <guntbert> Chiz: that is very old and not supported any more
[21:44] <spanda> eaerth1: oh, ok, ntfs writeability used not to be supported. think there's something you can do with ntfs-3g
