[00:00] <JJasonClark> Phosphate: done. buying it now.  Thanks a bunch. I really need something that I can read offline and mark up with notes.
[00:00] <jaeckel> hi
[00:01] <Phosphate> jjasonClark Cool I don't think you'll be disappointed.
[00:01] <CFHowlett> jaeckel   greetings
[00:01] <pfifo> hiya
[00:01] <roasted> hello! could use some serious help with triple screening on ubuntu and nvidia. Tons of issues...
[00:01] <jaeckel> I'm experiencing problems with irssi and scripts on natty
[00:02] <jaeckel> and google hasn't found any hint yet
[00:02] <Kimlaroux> pfifo, thanks, the grub install allowed me to install Grub to Ubuntu's partition. Now all I need is upgrade this kernel and see if I loose my Grub menu =)
[00:03] <jaeckel> can someone help me with this issue?
[00:03] <pfifo> I want an updated copy of Unix Network Programming by Richard W Stevens
[00:04] <JackDacks> Alis is not working alright is it? I never get a reply from it. Command I am trying to send: /msg alis LIST * -min 50
[00:04] <nubcake> is it normal to have constant outgoing traffic ~9-50kbit/s ? (running an apache [no users connected]) mysql and php on ubuntu server 11.10
[00:04] <pfifo> JackDacks, it might have come into a different window, alis is working fine for me
[00:05] <JackDacks> I'll try pfifo
[00:06] <JackDacks> Works indeed pfifo
[00:06] <PeoplesAdvocate> Quick question, I copied a iso file to USB by using the dd command to make it bootable. How do I restore the USB for normal use. I tried gparted but says no partition table on device and to create one but it wont.
[00:06] <pfifo> nubcake, no
[00:07] <Phosphate> nubcake unless you're getting updates? Is this sustained over a fairly long period of time?
[00:07] <pfifo> PeoplesAdvocate, use fdisk from the cli
[00:07] <pfifo> PeoplesAdvocate, or make gparted create a partition table
[00:08] <PeoplesAdvocate> pfifo: I tried it with gparted but it failed
[00:08] <[tla]> pfifo: text console font is now really small but still no X desktop. Xorg.0.log here: http://paste2.org/p/1929628
[00:08] <nubcake> Phosphate: i'm not getting updates, i've watched this for about 2 hours and it didnt drop, also netstat -n tells me there are 9 active connections to some chinese ip belonging to "Beijing HS-NET Technology CO.,Ltd"
[00:08] <pfifo> PeoplesAdvocate, yeah, fall back to fdisk
[00:08] <KI7MT> PeoplesAdvocate, is it being recognized when you plug it in, if so, there should be a USB icon on the desktop, just right-click and select format.
[00:09] <nubcake> woops.. seems my net dropped...
[00:09] <pfifo> [tla], can you `startx` manually as either user or root?
[00:09] <Phosphate> nubcake yeah thats pretty much bad news. Id think about a wipe & reinstall unless you have some good chineese brohams...
[00:09] <PeoplesAdvocate> no format option on right click, will try fdisk and see what happens.
[00:10] <KI7MT> PeoplesAdvocate, that's was my next suggestion :-)
[00:10] <Gaming4JC> Are there any third-party repos offering a new (and fixed) version of ia32libs? I need it ASAP... :)
[00:10] <Gaming4JC> already filed here https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/821100/
[00:10] <nubcake> Phosphate: is there any way to block this ip for now until i got my backups done ?
[00:12] <Phosphate> nubcake can you block it at your router? It sounds like you've been rooted so you really can't trust that machine.
[00:12] <nubcake> so the best to do would be to unplug the lan cable i guess ?
[00:13] <[tla]> pfifo: no, startx is not installed.  gdm-binary is running (from boot)
[00:13] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: You can install Mobloquer, blocks IP. Also FireStarter would do the trick assuming it doesn't have quick anti-block measures... :O
[00:13] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: Did you run Wireshark and see what's going on the network? Not many Ubuntu boxes get rooted (afaik?) :/
[00:13] <pfifo> [tla], startx is part of xinit and needs xauth, `sudo apt-get install xinit xauth`
[00:14] <nubcake> not yet, since i'm not really familiar with wireshark
[00:14] <T_H_X> ufw
[00:14] <Gaming4JC> ufw would work too
[00:14] <Gaming4JC> :)
[00:14] <ThreeOfEight> Hallo, I have a Digitus Wireless 150N USB adapter with a RT8188CUS chip on a fresh amd63 10.10. Driver is installed out of the box, I can scan. But connection to the network only works very rarely, and when it does, I mostly get "Destination host unreachable." Only very rarely do I actually get a package through. It works fine on my other laptop with x86 10.04.
[00:14] <ThreeOfEight> *amd64, of course
[00:15] <Phosphate> nubcake I'd grab what data you need then rebuild it. Fixing something where someone has gotten root is pretty tough. You could also try killing apache and see if your traffic drops, maybe its only apache thats been comprimised.
[00:16] <L3top> nubcake: iptables -A INPUT -s ipaddy -j DROP   where ipaddy is the ipaddress
[00:16] <Gaming4JC> Phosphate: Would be interesting to study how the attack took place as well. :P
[00:16] <urgodfather> hello all
[00:16] <Phosphate> But I'd still rebuild it when you can it's hard to know whats been done to your machine.
[00:16] <Gaming4JC> Phosphate: Might just happen again
[00:16] <urgodfather> i have two problems if someone can help
[00:16] <nubcake> L3top: thanks i'll try that (killed apache but traffic is still the same)
[00:16] <urgodfather> firstly, i cant get the SHIFT key to work
[00:16] <[tla]> pfifo: xinit starts and i get plain xterm.  no window manager etc.
[00:16] <Chipzzz> nubcake: if it were me, i'd go with the wireshark idea... i'd be curious what the network traffic looks like
[00:16] <Phosphate> Gaming4jc Honeypot?
[00:17] <urgodfather> secondly, i cannot detect my sata 0 drive
[00:17] <L3top> iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d ipaddy  -j DROP   to drop outgoing as well.
[00:17] <nubcake> Chipzzz: well i dont really know how to use wireshark from the shell..
[00:17] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: Is the IP actually malicious?  e.g. run it through TrustedSource.org (Mcaffe) or on google. might be in a blacklisyt
[00:17] <Chipzzz> nubcake: it's pretty intuitive & only takes a minute to set up
[00:17] <Gaming4JC> blacklist*
[00:18] <Gaming4JC> Phosphate: Not so much honeypot as just checking most recently modified files, although that's not a bad idea either. :)
[00:18] <L3top> iptables -L to view
[00:18] <pfifo> [tla], the your problem isnt X at all, its gdm/lightdm what version of ubuntu are you using again?
[00:18] <nubcake> oh wow.. i'm getting an iptables error when trying the 1st insert
[00:18] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: tcpdump works from shell
[00:18] <[tla]> pfifo: 11.10 but it has been upgraded over time from somewhere around Hardy
[00:18] <L3top> iptables -L
[00:18] <Chipzzz> nubcake: it also lets you log the traffic & save it to a file so you can inspect it later if you want
[00:18] <Gaming4JC> save it to a pcap, then download on another box to examine
[00:18] <PeoplesAdvocate> Okay, my USB is fixed. I used cfdisk though.
[00:18] <pfifo> [tla], what version were you coming from?
[00:19] <PeoplesAdvocate> Thanks guys, didnt even think of using these tools.
[00:19] <L3top> nubcake: you should listen to the others... I was just giving you the quick and dirty "stop this now"
[00:19] <[tla]> pfifo: been on 11.10 for a while with desktop OK.  recent dist-upgrade seemed to b0rk it
[00:19] <nubcake> iptables -L http://pastebin.com/bicZQpH7
[00:19] <pfifo> [tla], are you using gdm or lightdm?
[00:19] <[tla]> pfifo: originally server had no desktop installed as was headless
[00:20] <L3top> nubcake: however it is not seeming to follow the idea of quick...
[00:20] <spartan2276> Is there any other backup tool I can use besides deja-dup as it wont work on my system
[00:20] <lubi> my lubuntu wont log in after installation
[00:20] <pfifo> !backup | spartan2276
[00:21] <[tla]> pfifo: was using gdm but dont care really - will use whatever is current
[00:21] <L3top> spartan2276: I strongly recommend clonezilla
[00:21] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: http://www.openmaniak.com/tcpdump.php might help
[00:21] <Phosphate> nubcake, these guys are all giving you good advice. The core problem is if you got hit by some script kidde you might be able to fix it if you got hit by someone who knows what they're doing you probably can't fix it and anything you do on that machine you can't 100% trust.
[00:21] <spartan2276> pfifo: deja-dup makes my systems settings panel loop and then crash the system
[00:21]  * L3top agrees with Phosphate nubcake...
[00:21] <pfifo> spartan2276, im sorry to hear that
[00:22] <lubi> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1936681
[00:22] <pfifo> [tla], try 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop` see if it exists and works
[00:22] <spartan2276> pfifo: the thing is this was not happening before, I tried purging deja-dup and re-installing it but nothing
[00:22] <Gaming4JC> it is odd IPTables wouldn't be working
[00:23] <Phosphate> Gaming4jc unless the kernel was modded
[00:23] <[tla]> pfifo: yes it works (and suggests i use upstart - ie stop gdm)
[00:23] <nubcake> the address is <IP_ADDRESS> and my box seems to connect to the ports "45858,44463,40453,40676,44338,446699,40538,45624 and 40845 i dont know if that helps with anything but for now i think i'll back up my data..
[00:23] <spartan2276> nubcake: you got hacked on Ubuntu?
[00:23] <pfifo> [tla], try starting it now, see what happens
[00:24] <nubcake> spartan2276: i dont know.. but it kinda seems like
[00:24] <grid_bug> is there any reason that I get "Connection Refused" when I attempt to connect to by ubuntu box via bluetooth?
[00:24] <pfifo> nubcake, there are some rootkit detectors available
[00:24] <KI7MT> Is this a remote server or local box ?
[00:25] <L3top> connect what grid_bug
[00:25] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: Definately interested in this. http://www.mcafee.com/threat-intelligence/ip/default.aspx?ip=<IP_ADDRESS> :)
[00:25] <Phosphate> nubcake just curious, did you have ssh exposed to the internet?
[00:25] <n0sq> how do i set port address and irq for a usb to serial port cable (i.e. ttyUSB0) - setserial keeps giving me an error message with setserial /dev/ttyUSB0 port 0x###
[00:25] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: Chines haxor got your box, or at least one using a Chinese server for relaying (whatever?) is on the network
[00:25] <Gaming4JC> tcpdump would be nice
[00:26] <nubcake> can i dump into a file using >  ?
[00:26] <nubcake> or is there a better way to get the dump saved instead of going to stdout ?
[00:26] <[tla]> pfifo: screen flashes on start then returns to plain xterm / no wm.  dmesg says: [ 1232.911973] gdm-simple-slav[3277]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f668d01d1e5 sp 00007fffef1b1a70 error 4 in libnss_compat-2.13.so[7f668d019000+8000]
[00:26] <grid_bug> L3top: using RFCOMM, I've attempted to connect to the ubuntu box both from an android phone.
[00:27] <[tla]> pfifo: :s
[00:27] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: you can do tcpdump -w capture.log
[00:27] <pfifo> [tla], what wm are you using?
[00:27] <grid_bug> L3top: I'm running the same code that I've run on archlinux with no issues ( A slightly modified version of the pybluez sample code)
[00:27] <[tla]> pfifo: gdm afaik
[00:28] <nubcake> Gaming4JC: ok, so how long am i supposed to wait before killing the dump process ? ^^
[00:28] <Chipzzz> nubcake: your site pings but refuses an http request
[00:28] <pfifo> [tla], no the window manager gnome/xfce/lxdm
[00:28] <jake__> Hey, I have an absolute rookie question regarding IRC
[00:28] <nubcake> Chipzzz: i stopped apache
[00:29] <Chipzzz> did the traffic stop?
[00:29] <nubcake> nope
[00:29] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: 10 min at least, need to capture the transmision
[00:29] <[tla]> pfifo: not sure but i guess whatever the standard one is.  it has a panel that slides in/out on the left with pinned apps and app launcher etc
[00:29] <Gaming4JC> otherwise we have incomplete capture :p
[00:29] <nubcake> okay
[00:29] <Gaming4JC> won't make any sense with just 10 packets for example... if it's on those high-range ports it could be a spam zombie
[00:30] <Chipzzz> nubcake: you have 15 open ports
[00:30] <pfifo> [tla], can you pastebin the files ~/.xsession and ~/.xinitrc if they exist
[00:30] <Gaming4JC> but we won't know until the log
[00:30] <[tla]> pfifo: i guess gnome.  i know it is not xfce (have used that elsewhere).  not used lxdm afaik
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> pfifo: none of gnome, xfce or lxdm are window managers
[00:30] <Gaming4JC> !ask ||jake__
[00:31] <Gaming4JC> !ask |jake__
[00:31] <Gaming4JC> ubottu :(
[00:31] <pfifo> ActionParsnip, can you help with the issue?
[00:31] <Gaming4JC> ah just a bit of latency :)
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> [tla]: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[00:32] <nubcake> 8 minutes to go ^^
[00:32] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: sounds good :)
[00:32] <[tla]> pfifo: neither file exists
[00:32] <Phosphate> Gaming4JC/nubcake I'd love a copy of that
[00:32] <[tla]> ActionParsnip: oneiric
[00:32] <Chipzzz> nubcake: do you have iftop installed?
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> [tla]: have you tested your rAM health from the memtest in grub?
[00:33] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna: i made what you did but every time i install the grub it delete the BOOTMGR windows file
[00:33] <[tla]> ActionParsnip: no but the server seems to be running fine and the BIOS RAM test completes OK on boot
[00:34] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, not sure I understand you, the windows command had windows boot right?
[00:34] <ActionParsnip> [tla]: its not as thorough as the memtest app, even a 10 min test will show issues. If you see red then the RAM is bad somewhere
[00:35] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  i installed the windows boot from the windows command and installed the grub and when i re-enter the windows again it give me this error BOOTMGR is missing
[00:35] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: you can use http://www.qfpost.com/upload2/upload_form.html or some other place to upload your pcap btw
[00:35] <Gaming4JC> I think qfpost accepts any file format tho
[00:35] <Gaming4JC> :)
[00:35] <nubcake> seems ssh is causing the traffic, since if i disable the ssh port(incoming) in my router, traffic drops down to 2kbit/s ..
[00:35] <nubcake> Gaming4JC: will do
[00:35] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, did you see if windows booted before you reinstalled grub?
[00:35] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  i tried more than one time installing the windows boot manager and checking on windows it works fine but when i  install the grub it give me the same error
[00:36] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna: yes i did i repeated the same scenario more than one time
[00:36] <pfifo> [tla], try updating your system, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:36] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: if they have ssh the traffic will be encrypted... :|
[00:36] <nubcake> :(
[00:36] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, have you rub sudo update-grub in ubuntu
[00:36] <Phosphate> ^ bummer
[00:36] <Fyodorovna> run
[00:36] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  it didn;t want to do that on the live cd
[00:37] <Gaming4JC> I don't understand why a hacker would want ssh on the machine though, most hackers just use you to send spammy e-mails....
[00:37] <[tla]> pfifo: updated these: apt apt-utils libapt-inst1.3 libapt-pkg4.11
[00:37] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, you would never run it there only in the ubuntu install
[00:37] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  but when i came back to the installed version now and ran the command the command ran well
[00:37] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  it won't help me now because i have to repeat the same scenario again because the windows BOOTMGR is missing
[00:38] <Chipzzz> nubcake: is there much disk access (as if they're mining your drives for something interesting)?
[00:38] <pfifo> [tla], try 'dpkg-reconfigure gdm` then start gdm once again
[00:38] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, run the bootscript again do you need a link?
[00:38] <Phosphate> nubcake what is your network setup? You have ssh explicitly forwarded to that machine or is it directly on the the Internet?
[00:38] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  and after installing the windows boot i have to reinstall the grub and the grub miss the windows boot manager
[00:38] <Sifrazooy> no i have it
[00:38] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, right run the script
[00:38] <Gaming4JC> Chipzzz: I hadn't thought of checking that, but I was about to ask if there was anything confidential on the drive, lol
[00:38] <nubcake> Phosphate: stupidly it is directly on the internet
[00:38] <Chipzzz> lol
[00:39] <rhizmoe> is transmission/qtransmission annoying for anybody else?
[00:39] <rhizmoe> sorry, that question sucks, but it's burning in my brain.
[00:39] <[tla]> pfifo dmesg has: [ 2069.255222] gdm-simple-slav[4970]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f0cae0691e5 sp 00007fff0f921fb0 error 4 in libnss_compat-2.13.so[7f0cae065000+8000]
[00:39] <Phosphate> nubcake ah ok do you have a l/p that might concievable be guessable?
[00:39] <Gaming4JC> Phosphate: being directly connected to the internet with ssh isn't a problem with a strong password or private key
[00:40] <nubcake> Chipzzz: uhm.. i dont really know if theres a lot of disk access.. the led blinks every now and then.. but i didnt check software-wise
[00:40] <KI7MT> Ouch, you should always set allow from IP and only allow with keys.
[00:40] <Chipzzz> Gaming4JC: the only two reasons for them to be there is 1) to run a bot or 2) to look for data... there is only the one connection, so it isn
[00:40] <Chipzzz> isn't for a bot network
[00:40] <Phosphate> Gaming4jC exactly what I was wondering
[00:40] <nubcake> well my password is about 15chars upper_lower&numeric
[00:40] <Gaming4JC> chinese miners, scary stuff... o_o
[00:40] <[tla]> pfifo: looks like this? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ugr-seeds/+bug/805744
[00:40] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: so is mine. :P
[00:41] <Gaming4JC> hopefully they didn't use a new xploit.
[00:41] <Gaming4JC> otherwise we're all at risk, head for teh hills... !!  D:
[00:41] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, you had mucked around with grub 2 originally and put a custom windows entry in the wrong place we may just need to clean that up the bootscript will let us know what is up.
[00:41] <will> hey guys. i've got a lot of old defunct wine installed programs showing up when i search for things. where are they kept so i can clear them out?
[00:41] <Phosphate> nubcake so probably wasnt guessed, they must have come in through something else then rooted to get ssh access
[00:41] <Gaming4JC> yeah xploited a vunerable service most likely
[00:41] <Phosphate> Gaming4jC what do you tink?
[00:41] <Phosphate> k
[00:42] <CFHowlett> Fyodorovna   maybe I can help.  Ignore the OSX stuff but see the boot configuration ...
[00:42] <CFHowlett> http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=212837&st=0#entry1427797
[00:42] <Gaming4JC> Well, what version of apache was it?
[00:42] <Chipzzz> I nmapped the ip and there are 15 open ports on the machine
[00:42] <Gaming4JC> I really dunno how they'd get a shell on it with root access without some effort
[00:42] <Darck> any one know a  good RADIUS client test tool..??
[00:42] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna: http://pastebin.com/e6dPMDWS
[00:42] <Gaming4JC> even if they got a shell it'd be limited to user
[00:42] <Phosphate> Yeah thats why I'm thinking it wasnt just a bot attack
[00:43] <Phosphate> In any case he's almost certainly been rooted
[00:43] <nubcake> apache 2.2.20
[00:43] <pfifo> [tla], ok maybe switching to lightdm will work better with unity. `sudo apt-get purge gdm && sudo apt-get install ldm`
[00:43] <Darck> anyone ????
[00:43] <Guest215> How do I access a windows xp printer from linux using cups?  the computer is \\<IP_ADDRESS> with shared printer.
[00:43] <Chipzzz> Phosphate: I think it's a pretty good bet, too
[00:43] <Darck> some help here  ?
[00:43] <Phosphate> nubcake did you have root login enabled on sshd?
[00:43] <pfifo> [tla], after it completes reboot
[00:43] <[tla]> pfifo: interesting the bug mentions autologin - i was using that as system is a media server
[00:44] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  is there any way that i could remove this grub and re install it again
[00:44] <Gaming4JC> !patience Darck
[00:44] <CFHowlett> Guest215   see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu
[00:44] <nubcake> Phosphate: nope, just through sudo once logged in successfully
[00:44] <nubcake> but not directly
[00:44] <Gaming4JC> !patience | Darck
[00:44] <Gaming4JC> some one will know the answer for sure in time :)
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> Guest215: the printer dialogue has the option to add a windows printer. It's in the cog menu in the top right of the screen
[00:45] <nubcake> oh... i almost forgot about the dump :D
[00:45] <Darck> hoo thanks..
[00:45] <nubcake> gimme a second
[00:45] <pfifo> [tla], the bug report is about gdm, so using an alternate display manager should be a workaround
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> !info  yardradius
[00:45] <Phosphate> nubcake then Id have a hard time thinking of some scenario where you're not pretty humped.
[00:45] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: should be very interesting :D
[00:45] <Darck> any one know a  good RADIUS client test tool..??
[00:45] <nubcake> wow.. the content looks pretty weird through cat
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> Darck: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/gutsy/man1/radtest.1.html
[00:45] <Gaming4JC> Darck: yardradius
[00:46] <Gaming4JC> actionparsnip ^^
[00:46] <Gaming4JC> :)
[00:46] <Phosphate> I'd definitely like a copy of that dump :)
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> Darck: all I did was search....
[00:46] <[tla]> pfifo: crazy: stop gdm; rm /etc/gdm/custom.conf; start gdm - fixes it!
[00:46] <Guest215> ActionParsnip: cog menu?
[00:47] <pfifo> [tla], congrats your the only person I known to have sucessfully updated this much
[00:47] <Guest215> oh,I'm using linux mint 12,sorry
[00:47] <nubcake> how do i read the file? :D all i see is special characters and stuff...
[00:48] <KI7MT> its prob encrypted with ssh
[00:48] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, the script looks perfect except for this According to the info in the boot sector, sda5 starts   at sector 2048. Personally I would suggest going to the ubuntu forums, windows should be booting.
[00:48] <Phosphate> ^
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> Guest215: in the top right of the screen, or you can run: system-config-printer
[00:48] <dommer> I still can't get my USB mic to work in skype nor teamspeak 3
[00:48] <spitzi> Hi. So it's like this: my remote Ubuntu has my session running with open windows such as Chrome and Firefox. I can do "ssh -X" to my remote session. Can I someone "open" it on my local Ubuntu, as if that session ran a VNC server and I'm the VNC client ? thanks/
[00:48] <icarious> Hello all
[00:48] <dommer> what do
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> Guest215: mint isnt supported here
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> !mint | Guest215
[00:49] <[tla]> pfifo: thanks for all your help. awesome :D
[00:49] <KI7MT> all the mint guys come here, there's never anyone is the mint channel :-)
[00:49] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, with a windows extended I'm not sure although it worked before but the sda5 showing this may be the problem
[00:49] <Gaming4JC> ActionParsnip: you mean Darck should have just http://lmddgtfy.net/?q=RADIUS+ubuntu+client ;)
[00:49] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  it boot to windows but the problem is that windows BOOTMGR  get lost every time i install grub :S
[00:49] <nubcake> do i pm the link, or am i allowed to paste it in here ?
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> KI7MT: still not supported here, we do tell them :)
[00:50] <KI7MT> paste it here, others are probably wanting to help too
[00:50] <Phosphate> nubcake pastebin would work
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> nubcake: use a pastebin
[00:50] <nubcake> its about 3.89mb
[00:50] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: you can paste it here, but the channel is logged. So depends on who you want to see the pcap
[00:50] <Phosphate> definitely pastebin
[00:50] <KI7MT> ActionParsnip, I know, it's just funny how they dont support their product, yet everyone says its great.
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> nubcake: pastebin is limitless, or has a very large limit
[00:51] <Gaming4JC> Phosphate: you can pastebin a tcpdump? Messy...
[00:51] <Gaming4JC> rather have a .pcap
[00:51] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  i am thinking of giving it another try after running grub-update
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> KI7MT: exactly, i'd rather have a good community for the distro I use
[00:51] <pfifo> then `pastebinit /dev/urandom`
[00:51] <KI7MT> Same here.
[00:51] <nubcake> if i knew how to make it pcap, i would do that one too ^^
[00:51] <Phosphate> Gaming4jC I think so but if it's encrypted it probably worthless anyway
[00:51] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  after i ran grub-update **
[00:52] <Darck> I have ]found a radtest
[00:52] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, it says that but the files sre in the sda2 partition it may be the the pbr is damaged but the commands I gave you should have rebuilt that. Windows has a archaic boot set up that is temperamental and can just have problems. I would suspect this can be fixed, or just reload the windows bootloader in the mbr and use easybcd. The ubuntu forums though has the people I learned all this from.
[00:52] <Gaming4JC> Phosphate: he killed ssh though, might be something useful
[00:52] <Chipzzz> nubcake: I see no unpatched vulnerabilities other than a DoS that would not facilitate what we're seeing here in apache 2.2.20...
[00:52] <Fyodorovna> *are
[00:52] <Phosphate> Gaming4jC oh yeah I forgot about that, good point
[00:52] <nofx30> hello
[00:52] <XxxTilllYxxX> hi
[00:52] <Darck> a simple tool  for a radius test
[00:52] <CFHowlett> nofx30   greetings
[00:52] <Chipzzz> nubcake: were you running a CMS?
[00:52] <XxxTilllYxxX> how can i join a channel?
[00:52] <CFHowlett> XxxTilllYxxX   greetings
[00:52] <Gaming4JC> !welcome | nofx30
[00:53] <pfifo> hiya
[00:53] <nubcake> Chipzzz nope
[00:53] <CFHowlett> XxxTilllYxxX   /join #channel
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> XxxTilllYxxX: /join #name
[00:53] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  lol THNX :d i will try to ran the startup recovery and install the grub again
[00:53] <Darck> i want know if there is any tool of the type for windows
[00:53] <nubcake> i tried to copy the text to pastebin.. but if i select all, copy and paste, it outputs only 3 special characters...
[00:53] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, I recognize that this is frustrating bnut your way better then you were at this point. Windows would not have booted as it was even as it was with the MS bootloader in the mbr.
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> Darck: this is ubuntu support. Windows support is in ##windows
[00:53] <Fyodorovna> but*
[00:53] <dommer> Can someone help me?  I have a logitech C210 webcam that I use primarily for a mic.  It won't work in teamspeak 3 nor skype.  WTF
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> Darck: why did you ask here for Windows support, it makes no sense....
[00:53] <Chipzzz> nubcake: it probably gets to the first "\0" and stops
[00:54] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: might be best to upload the file some place :/
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> dommer: does the mic work in sound recorder?
[00:54] <dommer> no
[00:54] <Darck> soy my mistake
[00:54] <CFHowlett> dommer   spent hours on this last week.  No joy.  Suggest a newer camera.
[00:54] <Darck> sorry
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> dommer: is it muted in alsamixer?
[00:54] <dommer> The camera's fine
[00:54] <jb0nd38372> If I have 3 hard drives in my system, one of which is an SSD, and I have installed Kbuntu to that SSD; How can I put my home directory on another drive. The SSD is 128 gig and I'd rather have my apps (games and other stuff) on a platter drive.
[00:54] <nubcake> okay.. i think i'll just pm you guys the link if thats ok for you
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> dommer: is the mic marked as the input device in sound properties?
[00:54] <jb0nd38372> err Ubuntu \
[00:55] <Phosphate> nubcake thanks yeah that works
[00:55] <dommer> I.don't.know.
[00:55] <pfifo> jb0nd38372, normally one would do that during th install
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> dommer: well....go check
[00:55] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, you can always just reinstall windows as well, into a pre-formatted ntfs  and avoid the boot partition if your not running the windows encryption.
[00:55] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  i made a startup recovery once of the times i tried and it installed the windwos boot and i started windows smoothly after it
[00:55] <dommer> and how?
[00:55] <sianhulo> ppl, is there a way of restoring winecfg without erasing .wine?
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> dommer: in a terminal, run:  alsamixer
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> dommer: use M to un/mute  up and down to change levels and ESC to exit
[00:56] <Chipzzz> nubcake: i'm more interested in how they got in than what data looks like... were you running anything on apache that could have been vulnerable?
[00:56] <jb0nd38372> pfifo: If I reinstall, is there a way I can do a "soft raid" so the other 2 platter drives are seen as a single drive and then have my ssd as the wtwo drives?
[00:56] <dommer>  < Master >Master M Headphon Headphon   PCM      Line   Line Jac    CD
[00:56] <nofx30> i was wondering if someone could help me get a virtual copy of mac osx to run on my linux machine
[00:56] <dommer> no input
[00:57] <Real> sup mothas!!!!
[00:57] <pfifo> jb0nd38372, yes, but you have to use the alternate installer instead of the normal desktop iso
[00:57] <CFHowlett> nofx30   osx won't run virtually sfaik
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> dommer: Can you give the output of:    wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh
[00:57] <Roasted_> Has anybody set up triple monitors before? I'm using two graphics cards (Nvidia) and trying to get 2 monitors working.
[00:57] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, once you put grub in that sda1 you were screwed, it showed nnoe of the ms boot still there so if a recovery worked it had to be before grub-legacy was lut in the sda1
[00:58] <che687> roasted_: if you are running ati cards you have to be careful of driver selection
[00:58] <jb0nd38372> pfifo: Ok thanks... one last question, i'm not good with manually partitioning... will the ssd be defined as "/" with a swap partition and my platter drive9s) be partitioned as "/home"?
[00:58] <dommer> Odd though, I have a capture device....
[00:58] <Phosphate> nubcake so you have 8080 open still
[00:58] <Roasted_> che687, as I mentioned I'm on Nvidia.
[00:59] <Gaming4JC> Phosphate: at least you managed to get the file, mine is still downloading at 5/10kbps :P
[00:59] <Chipzzz> Phosphate: 8010 was open (and may still be) but I never saw 8080 open
[00:59] <pfifo> jb0nd38372, well youll need to use the platters as a LVM and then use the LVM as /home
[00:59] <Phosphate> Gaming4jC ow
[00:59] <che687> with nvida it isn't too bad...
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> dommer: can you run that command and upload to the server, it will make a URL, what is it please
[00:59] <Gaming4JC> 8080 is proxy
[00:59] <Roasted_> che687, which is why I went with Nvidia. But no dice :(
[00:59] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, in a situation like this where a lot of attempts are made you have to know what or what should not be where na in what order your fix went, I'm not sure you knew what was missing when we did the command fix on the W7 recovery cd, so you have to be careful with cause and effect.
[00:59] <Gaming4JC> might be using you for a relay
[00:59] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  now i understanded what u say ,  every time i run the grub it reinstall one on sda1 and this screw with the windows boot manager
[00:59] <nubcake> there's no portforwarding rule for those in my router
[00:59] <Chipzzz> Gaming4JC: yes, but i ran nmap & it did not show an open 8080
[01:00] <Gaming4JC> might be in IPTables though
[01:00] <jb0nd38372> pfifo: ok thank you, I have an alt machine i can use google if i get stuck, ty for the help
[01:00] <Gaming4JC> oh?
[01:00] <nubcake> neither 8080 nor 8010
[01:00] <Gaming4JC> odd...
[01:00]  * Gaming4JC is still waiting for the capture to download -.-
[01:00] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, I don't see any grub in sda1 now though.
[01:00] <Phosphate> ok do you have windows machines on the same local network?
[01:00] <nubcake> i dont know if my iptables works ^^ it gives me some error when trying stuff
[01:00] <waxstone> nubcake: was this public server or personal computer?
[01:01] <che687> you have to EXPORT DEVICE 1:2 to get the third.... but make sure you have them properly defined in xconfig
[01:01] <Guest215> thanks
[01:01] <nubcake> personal computer
[01:01] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: was it online often?
[01:01] <KI7MT> Oh, I thought this was a public server
[01:01] <Roasted_> che687, can this not be done through nvidia-settings?
[01:01] <che687> i know i have syntax wrong... but you can look it up
[01:01] <nubcake> Gaming4JC: almost 24/7
[01:01] <Gaming4JC> k
[01:01] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  but there is something listed in the grub configuration file that screw with sda1 and don;t install the boot
[01:01] <che687> no... nvida dose not have gui tools to do this
[01:01] <Phosphate> nubcake do you have Windows machines behind this box?
[01:01] <sianhulo> well i will ask aagain and add another question... is there a way of restoring the configuration of wine without erasing ".wine"?i want to know which model my videocard is, anybody knows what was it?(i barely remember a "grep" and a "vga"). thanks befirehand
[01:01] <nubcake> Phosphate: yes 3 different ones
[01:02] <Phosphate> ah ok that may be your problem
[01:02] <waxstone> nubcake: and you are behind a router? Do you do web development work? why local apache server?
[01:02] <KI7MT> sianhulo, probably best to ask in #winehq
[01:02] <Chipzzz> nubcake: pastebin of nmap: http://paste.ubuntu.com/872356/
[01:02] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, nothing in the sda1 on the script though, I think it is the sda5 partition it shows it on the script as starting where the sda1 partition is
[01:03] <sianhulo> KI7MT, thanks, i'm going there(though, the other question still remains)
[01:03] <nubcake> waxstone: yes i do some web-dev stuff, but just for fun/exercise
[01:03] <jack> which role is better for a phosphate
[01:03] <che687> Roasted_: I have 3 ati cards running for some gpu number crunching and the crossfire thing screws umbuntu all up
[01:03] <Phosphate> nubcake what's your internal class C 192.168.2?
[01:03] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  anyway what should i do now ?
[01:03] <jack> fertilizer or explosive?
[01:03] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  should i try again and see what happen
[01:03] <nubcake> 192.168.2. you mean ?
[01:03] <pfifo> jack, do you ahve an ubuntu support question?
[01:03] <Phosphate> yeah 192.168.2.x
[01:03] <CFHowlett> Phosphate   take it elsehwere
[01:04] <Roasted_> che687, sigh. I wish I hadn't gotten this card now.
[01:04] <nubcake> yea its 192.168.2.x
[01:04] <jack> pfifo: just referring to someone's nick
[01:04] <nubcake> i'll be right back in ~ 5 minutes.. phone call incoming, sorry
[01:04] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, I would go to the ubuntu forums several mods there on daily are tyhe real experts, post the bootscript as the system is and with any changes run it again and wait fro their help.
[01:04] <Phosphate> nubcake your problem is not your ubuntu box you've got a comprimised Windows box
[01:05] <waxstone> Anyone know of a good rootkit checker? >.<
[01:05] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, make a thread at the forums, that is where I used to roost and learned all this from.:)
[01:05] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  ok , thanks for your help and effort :D , and i will do what you say
[01:05] <wolfmitchell> When I open the Unity dash, go to applications and select games, the bottom half of the screen disappears. I am currently dual screening.
[01:05] <che687> Roasted_: its not that bad.... just look up some multi monitor set ups in google... you can export as many displays as you want... just have to set up xconfig and all
[01:06] <Phosphate> nubcake it may be <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:06] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, cool the only other person on here I see do this really well is Jordan_U  look for them for help.
[01:06] <Fyodorovna> if needed
[01:06] <Roasted_> che687, so you're actively running 3 monitors?
[01:06] <wolfmitchell> * resizes *when I open the unity dash, the bottom half of the screen disappears. Actually, it moves everything  but the unity dock.
[01:06] <Sifrazooy> Jordan_U can you help me :D
[01:06] <Chipzzz> Phosphate: but they got into his ubuntu box with ssh
[01:06] <Sifrazooy> Fyodorovna:  i will :D thnx :D
[01:06] <che687> Roasted_: I have in the past run 4... but i only use them now for # crunching
[01:07] <Gaming4JC> Phosphate: most of the juicy stuff is sadly ssh'ed :(
[01:07] <Roasted_> che687, do you just manually edit xorg?
[01:07] <KI7MT> Chipzzz, yeah, that's the interesting part.
[01:07] <Fyodorovna> Sifrazooy, cool. :)
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> wolfmitchell: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[01:07] <Phosphate> Chipzzz dont think so I think hes routing through the linux box
[01:07] <juicy> Gaming4JC: I am not sshd
[01:07] <wolfmitchell> oneiric
[01:07] <Gaming4JC> juicy: lol ..
[01:07] <wolfmitchell> ActionParsnip: oniric
[01:07] <pfifo> what is the maximum number of monitors that X supports?
[01:08] <Chipzzz> Phosphate: i hadn't thought of that... you're probably right
[01:08] <che687> Roasted_: yea... but same as ATI .. there are command line utilities for Nvida that u can use that do part of it for you ...
[01:08] <wolfmitchell> Aka 11.10
[01:08] <Roasted_> che687, I have yet to find any in my googling. :*(
[01:08] <azriel> I dont know if my problem is ubuntu or not, I'm trying to run a program i wrote but it's saying: bash: ./dist/GSAM.exe: cannot execute binary file, is this a known problem?
[01:08] <Pikkachu> is the ubuntu font supposed to work under windows too? because it doesn't say anything in http://font.ubuntu.com and as far as I know fonts are not OS-dependent. The crazy thing is that in that website the testing text box displays just fine some Unicode char, but other application does not when using Ubuntu font
[01:09] <che687> Roasted_: .... what card are you using
[01:09] <Phosphate> nubcake what's on .184? Im thinking its a windows machine?
[01:09] <nubcake> allright, back.. sorry for that
[01:09] <pfifo> azriel, hi
[01:09] <Chipzzz> Phosphate: didn't he close his port 22 and see the traffic stop, though?
[01:09] <Roasted_> che687, Nvidia GT440 and Nvidia 6200.
[01:09] <Phosphate> Chippzzz hmmm good point
[01:09] <azriel> oh hi pfifo
[01:09] <KI7MT> He shutdown apache he said, but didn't say about SSH
[01:10] <nubcake> i might have to re-check that, but i think .184 is my media receiver
[01:10] <che687> Roasted_: you have to be carfull about using different cards togeather in linux... x will do weird things
[01:10] <Phosphate> Lets try and cust off .184 and see what happens
[01:10] <Gaming4JC> Chipzzz: that's what I thought as well but definately pure ssh traffic :p
[01:10] <pfifo> azriel, linux doesnt support exe files
[01:10] <Phosphate> oops cut
[01:10] <nubcake> allright, 1 sec.
[01:10] <azriel> k
[01:10] <Roasted_> che687, I was told it would work. sigh...
[01:10] <azriel> nothing else i try works either
[01:10] <Roasted_> che687, this is definitely a bummer. So glad I bought this darn card.
[01:10] <Chipzzz> nubcake: have you shut down your ssh server to see what would happen?
[01:10] <azriel> i copy and pasted a hello world program to test my system
[01:11] <Phosphate> nubcake is your linux box routing for everything else on your network?
[01:11] <nubcake> Chipzzz: nope, i disabled the port-forwarding for it but didn't stop it
[01:11] <wolfmitchell> What other graphics managers are there, out of curiosity? (Eg, like X)
[01:11]  * Bsims found out how to read ext2 and ext3 drives from windows
[01:11] <KI7MT> I think he's on the Phone
[01:11] <azriel> then ran gcc -c main.c, then i used chmod +x ./main.o and ran it with ./main.o
[01:11] <Chipzzz> nubcake: ah... thank you
[01:11] <azriel> it gave me the same error
[01:11] <nubcake> Phosphate: nope, i got a little router box from my provider which i'm using
[01:12] <nubcake> to route/dns and stuff
[01:12] <pfifo> azriel, `gcc -o main main.c && ./main`
[01:12] <nubcake> now that i cut off .184 it seems there's no traffic in-/outgoing... throuhg my ubuntu box..
[01:12] <Roasted_> che687, it's a shame I can't run all 3 off my GT440. It had 3 ports, but it sounds like I can only use 2 at a time.
[01:12] <azriel> one sec
[01:12] <Gaming4JC> Phosphate: cutting off that .184 may be a good call, it has a lot of UDP traffic... and does have 8080
[01:12] <che687> Roasted_:  type   "nvidia_xconfig  --help" in a shell and see what you get
[01:12] <nubcake> i'll just re-plug it to doublecheck
[01:12] <azriel> oh wow
[01:13] <azriel> thanks :D
[01:13] <che687> sorry .... nvidia-xconfig
[01:13] <che687> not _
[01:13] <pfifo> azriel, dont say I never helped you
[01:13] <azriel> :3
[01:13] <azriel> im using that colision detection you showed me before
[01:14] <nubcake> could take a little to boot up
[01:14] <KI7MT> WinDoze always does :-)
[01:14] <Phosphate> nubcake k so .184 got comprimised somehow, Gaming4jC was right it wasn't your linux box.
[01:14] <Chipzzz> nubcake: are you serving anything to your windows machines from the linux box (mysql, etc.)?
[01:15] <Fyodorovna> !windoze | KI7MT
[01:15] <KI7MT> I'll kepp that in mind thanks.
[01:15] <Gaming4JC> Phosphate: still confused how the SSH is getting played into this though
[01:15] <Fyodorovna> KI7MT, lol we all want to say it. :)
[01:15] <Chipzzz> Gaming4JC: he removed the forwarding at the router & nothing changed
[01:16] <nubcake> Chipzzz: uhm.. what do you mean by serving? the box is running php, mysql and an apache so i can play around and code php a little.. but besides that, it's not really serving anything i use on my windows machines
[01:16] <Phosphate> Gaming4jC either he's routhing everything through his linux box or he's running routed with some settings that will act as a bounce/relay
[01:16] <hoshi411> is there any way to change the color scheme from white and orange?
[01:17] <TuxSY> Hi there! Ubuntu is Spyware!
[01:17] <hoshi411> this white scheme is blinding me
[01:17] <hoshi411> and orange is nice but....
[01:17] <hoshi411> im talking about unity here
[01:17] <hoshi411> i want to use it ... just let me change the color scheme
[01:18] <hoshi411> nautilus and xchat
[01:18] <nubcake> weird.. i rebooted the media receiver, now there's still no traffic in-/outgoing
[01:18] <hoshi411> can I change the color scheme?
[01:18] <eddie> Hello
[01:18] <hoshi411> im running ubuntu 12
[01:18] <hoshi411> untity
[01:18] <Phosphate> nubcake it may take a bit but it will most likely start again
[01:18] <eddie> I need some serious help
[01:18] <pfifo> !enter | hoshi411
[01:18] <Chipzzz> nubcake: it is common to run a server for the LAN on a linux box. Mysql is a popular one & allows a common database to be shared among all the networked machines.
[01:18] <Fyodorovna> !precise | hashi
[01:19] <Guest60120> I have both ubuntu and windows, but I need to boot into windows. How do I do this?
[01:19] <nubcake> Chipzzz: oh.. nope, not using any of that.. just using it for the web-dev stuff
[01:19] <Guest60120> Any help?
[01:19] <Phosphate> nubcake it may take time for .184 to reconnect to it's c&c server to get instructions, assuming it's the problem
[01:19] <nubcake> and i set all my boxes to use <IP_ADDRESS> (the router-box) as gateway, dns and dhcp
[01:20] <Guest60120> Hello
[01:20] <Phosphate> nubcake just to confirm traffic dropped when you pulled .184 down?
[01:20] <Gaming4JC> Phosphate: well,  the packets coming from that media server over UDP look like a VLan server, not seeing anything out of the obvious ordinary...
[01:20] <nubcake> the weird thing is.. that media receiver has been in standby mode like for at least 1 year or more..
[01:20] <nubcake> Phosphate: yes
[01:20] <Eddie345> Hello
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> Guest60120: did you use wubi to install Ubuntu or did you resize the NTFS to install to?
[01:21] <nubcake> before when i disabled the ssh port-forwarding, it dropped, when i enabled it again, traffic was back too
[01:21] <nubcake> when i cut off the .184 box it dropped again
[01:21] <Eddie345> Action, I put it on CD and resized,.
[01:21] <Phosphate> nubcake do you have routed running on your linux box?
[01:21] <ActionParsnip> Eddie345: if you run:  sudo update-grub   do you see Windows mentioned?
[01:22] <nubcake> Phosphate: not that i know
[01:22] <Eddie345> You know, I did that, and it booted into ubuntu like normal.
[01:22] <nubcake> how do i check that ?
[01:22] <wolfmitchell> Is there a way to make a desktop environment in Bash?
[01:22] <nubcake> route+ tab says "route, routef and routel"
[01:22] <nubcake> in terminal*
[01:23] <Phosphate> ps -eaf | grep routed
[01:23] <pfifo> wolfmitchell, your question doesnt make any sense, what are you trying todo?
[01:23] <ziglir> protato
[01:24] <nubcake> Phosphate: no result besides the grep itself
[01:24] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: Phosphate: for the paranoid, his media box may indeed have embedded malware - http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showthread.php?t=513231
[01:24] <Gaming4JC> same packet type :P
[01:24] <Chipzzz> nubcake: do you have traffic at the moment?
[01:24] <pfifo> 'embeded malware'
[01:25] <nubcake> Chipzzz: nope
[01:25] <Chipzzz> hmmmm
[01:25] <nubcake> box is booted up, but in standby, just like it was when i had traffic before
[01:25] <ummagumma> hi guys
[01:25] <ericluwolf> I'm back.... Did you guys miss me?
[01:25] <Eddie345> Action, I did that in terminal and it did find windows recovery environment and windows 7 loader
[01:26] <Phosphate> Bleh Chipzzz Gaming4jC & nubcake I'm really sorry I've got family aggro and have to bail. I think .184 is hosed & routing through the linux box but thats just a guess.
[01:26] <Chipzzz> nubcake: which 'box'... the one at .184?
[01:26] <nubcake> Chipzzz: yea the .184 box
[01:26] <Gaming4JC> Phosphate: yeah, good call, ttyl :)
[01:26] <Gaming4JC> I'm still looking over the packet capture but only other data we have is UDP from .184
[01:26] <Chipzzz> Phosphate: it's looking that way... thanks for helping & have a nice night
[01:26] <Eddie345> Can anyone help me boot into windows?
[01:26] <nubcake> Phosphate: thanks for your help :)
[01:26] <Phosphate> Sorry guys & good luck will hop back on if I can to help.
[01:26] <nubcake> good night
[01:27] <pfifo> Gaming4JC, its possible his media center box is performing udp hole punching
[01:28] <nubcake> so udp hole punching is like broadcasts ?
[01:28] <Chipzzz> nubcake: i'd install wireshark & wait for it to start up again...
[01:28]  * Bsims grins I can say that intel DH67BL and intel core i5 2nd gen sandybridge work perfectly on ubuntu/windows 7
[01:28] <nubcake> Chipzzz: it's up and running right now, but no traffic on my ubuntu box
[01:28] <Gaming4JC> pfifo: possible... but how the heck does one of those get infected with chinese malware
[01:28] <Gaming4JC> lol
[01:28] <nubcake> kinda weird...
[01:29] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: keep a packet capture running on it, would be nice to see if they do anything before SSH
[01:29] <Bsims> for windows will need to install drivers, but it works flawlessly with no tweaking on ubuntu
[01:29] <Eddie345> I need help booting into windows. Can anyone help?
[01:30] <nubcake> wouldn't that capture become really huge? ^^
[01:30] <wolfmitchell> pfifo: I am trying to make a desktop environment in Bash, not dependent on X.
[01:30] <Chipzzz> Gaming4JC: maybe the media box was the attack vector & they leveraged it to access another service on the linux box
[01:30] <Bsims> Eddie345:  I can try? what error is it throwing
[01:30] <pfifo> nubcake, filter out the packets that you dont want
[01:30] <nubcake> oh and should i completely disable ssh, or just keep the port closed ?
[01:30] <Gaming4JC> Eddie345: You need the keyboard command to force grub to show at boot, I "think" it's Alt+Tab or Alt+Enter at boot but it's been awhile :/
[01:30] <nubcake> pfifo: if i only knew how :D
[01:30] <Gaming4JC> Eddie345: Just keep asking people the command to show grub boot menu :)
[01:30] <pfifo> wolfmitchell, what do you mean by desktop enviroment? Bash runs on the console and theres really nothing more you need
[01:31] <Eddie345> Bsims, I have no idea what I am doing. I installed ubuntu via cd and have dual boot.
[01:31] <KI7MT> nubcake, I'd change the SSH port, add aloow from IP and use keys.
[01:31] <Gaming4JC> Bsims: pretty sure there's no error, he just doesn't get grub boot. Boots directly to Ubuntu
[01:31] <Bsims> Eddie345:  ok and did you install windows first or second
[01:31] <wolfmitchell> Basically, a way to organize all the files and commands you have.
[01:31] <nubcake> KI7MT: sounds like a plan, but i'll have to get further into ssh stuff i guess :D
[01:32] <Bsims> ok ya are gonna want to boot of a ubuntu cd and reisntall grub2
[01:32] <Roasted_> Has anybody set up triple monitors before? I'm using two graphics cards (Nvidia) and trying to get 2 monitors working.
[01:32] <Eddie345> Umm, windows was already installed. Ubuntu was just installed. I went into the terminal and typed sudo update-grub
[01:32] <Bsims> when you remove grub2 tell it to remove the config files
[01:32] <Eddie345> it does mention found windows recovery environment and windows 7
[01:33] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: you can sudo nano (or your favorite editor)  /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[01:33] <Gaming4JC> change port there
[01:33] <KI7MT> nubcake, this is based on Fedora, but it's the same, its pretty good explanation: http://fedorasolved.org/post-install-solutions/securing-ssh
[01:33] <Bsims> eddie it boots ubuntu by default right
[01:33] <pfifo> wolfmitchell, organizing file is done with mkdir and mv. all your useful commands are in /usr/bin
[01:33] <Eddie345> Yeah bsims
[01:33] <wolfmitchell> ...I mean menu-style. Reduces typing,
[01:33] <nubcake> ok, changed the port
[01:34] <Bsims> Eddie345:  sudo apt-get remove --purge grub2; sudo apt-get install grub2
[01:34] <nubcake> still no traffic so far
[01:34] <nubcake> this is driving me crazy :D
[01:34] <Bsims> Eddie345:  should wipe the config and reinstall from scratch
[01:35] <Bsims> Eddie345:  sudo apt-get remove --purge grub2; sudo apt-get install grub2
[01:35] <Eddie345> I don't understand what you mean though
[01:36] <Bsims> Eddie345:  this tells ubuntu to remove grub2 package, and the config files, and reisntall it from scratch
[01:36] <Bsims> Eddie345:  enter it into a terminal
[01:36] <jlb181> xdc
[01:36] <Eddie345> all of that?
[01:37] <Bsims> yup as typed
[01:37] <Bsims> all on one line
[01:37] <Eddie345> Ok, i'll try it now.
[01:37] <bsmith093> how do i undo the schange done by the powersave-pm tool
[01:37] <bsmith093> i already uninstalled it, but is that all
[01:38] <Eddie345> Ok, it did a  bunch a stuff
[01:38] <Roasted_> Has anybody set up triple monitors before? I'm using two graphics cards (Nvidia) and trying to get 2 monitors working.
[01:39] <Eddie345> What is supposed to happen now/
[01:40] <pfifo> !anyone | Roasted_
[01:40] <claire> What's the difference between ubuntu-12.04-beta1-alternate-i386 and ubuntu-12.04-beta1-desktop-i386?
[01:40] <Gaming4JC> heh connection lagged out.
[01:41] <pfifo> !alternate | claire
[01:41] <Eddie345> Hello
[01:41] <claire> pfifo, thanks
[01:42] <Fyodorovna> Eddie345, don't reboot while waiting if yiou ahvbe removed grub.
[01:42] <Fyodorovna> s/you/haver
[01:42] <KI7MT> claire, the type of installer basically.
[01:42] <Eddie345> Huh, fyodorovna?
[01:43] <Fyodorovna> Eddie345, you removed grub right?
[01:43] <Eddie345> I have no idea, bsims told me to write this  sudo apt-get remove --purge grub2; sudo apt-get install grub2
[01:43] <Eddie345> I am trying to boot into windows
[01:43] <Fyodorovna> Eddie345, ah did you put grub in the mbr?
[01:43] <Eddie345> in the mbr?
[01:44] <Eddie345> No, just in terminal
[01:44] <samsung> hi
[01:44] <Fyodorovna> Eddie345, you would have been asked where you want grub did you choose sda
[01:44] <Bsims> Fyodorovna:  this will nuke what he has in there, and rewrite in from scratch
[01:45] <Fyodorovna> Eddie345, the mbr is the disc letters no partition numbere for example sda or sdb..etc depending on the hd
[01:45] <Eddie345> I am sorry fyodorovna, I have no idea of what I am doing. I just want to reboot in windows. haha
[01:45] <Bsims> how many hds do you have
[01:45] <Fyodorovna> Bsims, just checking if they put grub in the mbr.
[01:46] <Fyodorovna> Bsims, your back though so carry on. :)
[01:46] <momscomputer> help.. I am trying to use my Immersion Talk Now cd with Ubuntu but it isn't working.  It is a windows cd.. I have checked in the permissions to see that allow to run as program is checked and it is but it still doesn't work...
[01:46] <Bsims> just one? and ya installed windows first
[01:46] <Eddie345> I thought switching from windows and ubuntu was a click away
[01:46] <Bsims> then install grub2 to sda1,
[01:47] <Eddie345> Bsims, what am I supposed to do now?
[01:47] <Bsims> it was for me... but sometimes it hard...
[01:47] <Bsims> did you do as I asked
[01:47] <Eddie345> Yeah, I tpyed in  sudo apt-get remove --purge grub2; sudo apt-get install grub2
[01:47] <Eddie345> in terminal
[01:48] <Chipzzz> momscomputer: have you installed wine?
[01:48] <Bsims> ok did you do a reboot
[01:48] <momscomputer> Yes
[01:48] <Eddie345> No, was that the next step?
[01:48] <Fyodorovna> Bsims, sda1 are you sure it is installled in the ubuntu already the only way you would put it in a partition is if it was aboot partition.
[01:48] <Bsims> Yup
[01:48] <momscomputer> Chipzzz yes and I restarted too
[01:48] <Bsims> reboot and let me know
[01:48] <Eddie345> Alright.

[01:52] <eddie_> bsims, I am back, nothing happened
[01:52] <Bsims> didn't work at akk
[01:52] <Bsims> er all
[01:53] <Bsims> how are ya booting
[01:53] <Bsims> got the live disk in?
[01:53] <pfifo> !info popularity-contest | TuxSY
[01:53] <eddie_> I mean, I booted it up and it went directly into ubuntu. Was I supposed to press a button before it boots
[01:53] <eddie_> I am booting from the computer, not the cd
[01:53] <Bsims> heh should have shown a list of installed os
[01:54] <eddie_> Was I supposed to boot from ubuntu cd?
[01:54] <Bsims> sorry eddie_ i am stumped ya did it rihght
[01:54] <Bsims> and it should have fixed it
[01:55] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: just for reference - http://drg.team-cymru.org/insight/sshpwauth.txt  That IP is listed there for brute force SSH attacks. I also see traffic from .100 to .2 then we see the actual ssh going continually to and from .100 (which is presumeably your ubuntu box?)
[01:55] <Gaming4JC> might be more than just the media box :P
[01:55] <eddie_> Thanks Bsims, i did a system recovery and it still booted into ubuntu
[01:55] <quebre> hello
[01:55] <eddie_> Is that supposed to happen?
[01:55] <Jon--> Ubuntu 11.04, Compiz + Gnome2. I want to hide the menu bar (title, close, maximize, minimize) when a window is maximized. I have a gnome-panel applet installed to save space and can remove this bar. How do I do this?
[01:56] <Bsims> but it still should have detected it
[01:56] <quebre> i want to install ubuntu from USB stick, so when i put my USB stick to the port and turn on my PC it will start installing the Ubuntu and if necessary, download other needed files from internet, is there such .iso image like this ?
[01:56] <nubcake> Gaming4JC: thanks, and yes .100 is my ubuntu, and .2 my (main) windows box
[01:56] <Bsims> try as a worst case installinmg ubuntu again
[01:56] <pfifo> !usb | quebre
[01:57] <eddie_> Whats my last resort bsims?
[01:57] <Jon--> My friend has a similar setup, I know it's possible. Can't find it in gconf-editor.
[01:57] <eddie_> Can I uninstall ubuntu entirely?
[01:57] <Bsims> as it will wipe your existing ubuntu install
[01:57] <eddie_> Will that bring me back to windows?
[01:58] <lcc> does encrypting the home folder make things slower?
[01:58] <mumixam> lcc: depends on your hardware
[01:58] <mumixam> in most cases yes
[01:58] <Jon--> Ubuntu 11.04, Compiz + Gnome2. I want to hide the menu bar (title, close, maximize, minimize) when a window is maximized. I have a gnome-panel applet installed to save space and can remove this bar. How do I do this? My friend has a similar setup, I know it's possible. Can't find it in gconf-editor.
[01:58] <XxxTilllYxxX> rn
[01:58] <Bsims> in windows terms will nuke it all and format/pariton it from scratch
[01:58] <XxxTilllYxxX> porn
[01:58] <lcc> mumixam: hd or cpu?
[01:58] <eddie_> How would I go about uninstalling ubuntu and only having windows?
[01:59] <Bsims> it will not touch yer windows install
[01:59] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: were you by any chance trying to SSH into the Windows box from the Linux PC?... Otherwise someone else was. :P
[01:59] <Gaming4JC> or vice versa..
[01:59] <Chipzzz> Gaming4JC: which ip?
[01:59] <mumixam> lcc: both mostly cpu
[01:59] <Bsims> how much ram do ya have?
[02:00] <nubcake> Gaming4JC: definitely not.. ^^
[02:00] <Gaming4JC> Chipzzz: hmm? <IP_ADDRESS> is the attacker. .2 is the windows box getting SSHed from the Unix box in the first 3 packets - we don't see the full capture of it though
[02:00] <mumixam> lcc: if you have a newer cpu with a AES instruction set theres pretty much no speed loss
[02:00] <nubcake> i tried to ssh into my linux box from my windows box, yes, but not vice versa
[02:00] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, is the ubuntu a dual boot with grub booting?
[02:00] <eddie_> 3.7 gib
[02:00] <lcc> I have a fine cpu
[02:01] <eddie_> Fydorovna, all I know its a dual boot.
[02:01] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: since we don't have the full capture it may be you SSHing into the linux box from the PC then :)
[02:01] <Gaming4JC> *Windows PC
[02:01] <Bsims> eddie_:  then install hte 64 bit version of the os
[02:01] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, do you get the grub menu when you boot?
[02:01] <eddie_> I don;t know what the grub menu is
[02:01] <Bsims> just in case you found a bug
[02:02] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, are you in ubuntu now?
[02:02] <eddie_> Install yeah
[02:02] <nubcake> Gaming4JC: hopefully ^^
[02:02] <eddie_> In ubuntu
[02:02] <eddie_> trying to get out, haha
[02:02] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, run sudo fdisk -l and pastebin the results
[02:02] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: since ssh goes both ways we probably don't have the full capture. and it was just him trying to SSH into his own machine whilist the attacker was doing the same :P
[02:02] <Bsims> grub menu is what oses you have
[02:02] <Fyodorovna> !pastebin | eddie_
[02:02] <Gaming4JC> Chipzz: see above, sorry. XP
[02:03] <eddie_> fyodorovna, run in terminal?
[02:03] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, yeah.
[02:03] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: have you checked var/logs ? Might be something out of the ordinary
[02:03] <tazthespaz> hey everyone i need help i installed ubuntu 11.10 64 bit on my friends computer and for some reason we are unable to open the default unity, only the 2d unity session
[02:04] <Gaming4JC> tazthespaz: What graphics card? Might need drivers or not supported :/
[02:04] <Fyodorovna> tazthespaz, have you updated and upgraded then checked the additional drivers app?
[02:04] <nubcake> Gaming4JC: not yet, the apache access.log shows some failed xss requests but besides that nothing extraordinary...
[02:04] <quebre> i cannot boot from USB because my MB doesn't support it, can i install Ubuntu from directly from Windows XP ? but i want the Ubuntu to be the only system on my PC.. is that possible?
[02:05] <Chipzzz> Gaming4JC: whoops, I thought that was nubcake's ip
[02:05] <wolfmitchell> Is there a way in Bash to check if there is a directory, if so cd into the dir, check if there is another (etc) until there are no more, and then run a command on the files found, CDing back to root, then repeat on another set of directories, over and over
[02:05] <Gaming4JC> Chipzzz: lol nope, teh chinese ;)

[02:05] <tazthespaz> well thats what i was thinking so i checked the additional drivers and nothing he has a nvidia gforce 420 i think and we tried installing drivers and it didn't work did i need to update first???
[02:05] <Fyodorovna> quebre, look on the web for plop it will get you booting a usb flash
[02:05] <KI7MT> nubcake, is fyou running apache on your dev-box, another firewall app that I've used on many VPS servers is CSF, has allot of good features: http://configserver.com/cp/csf.html
[02:05] <quebre> Fyodorovna: let me check
[02:06] <Gaming4JC> Chipzzz: which leads me to believe his box is still compromised ...
[02:06] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, post the sudo fdisk-l info in a pastebin.
[02:06] <Chipzzz> Gaming4JC: that ip has a lot of open ports... maybe it's a bot looking for companionship
[02:06] <Fyodorovna> !pastebin | eddie_  post it here and give us the url.
[02:07] <Gaming4JC> Chipzzz: ahhh so you actually scanned the chinese IP.  Fun. Lock ur ssh and hide ur IP they be haxin up in thar
[02:07] <Gaming4JC> lol
[02:07] <eddie_> I am sorry how do I use pastebin
[02:07] <Chipzzz> Gaming4JC: the ssh traffic could have been the brute-force ssh attempt
[02:07] <tazthespaz> well thats what i was thinking so i checked the additional drivers and nothing he has a nvidia gforce 420 i think and we tried installing drivers and it didn't work did i need to update first???
[02:07] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, look at the bot message above it is a copy and paste.
[02:07] <Gaming4JC> Chipzzz: yes and they are already blacklisted for that, just curious if they actually got in
[02:07] <Chipzzz> Gaming4JC: lol... no worries... I keep things pretty solidly locked down
[02:08] <Gaming4JC> Chipzzz: good :)
[02:08] <zabomber> ls
[02:08] <zabomber> lolcat
[02:09] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, put the stuff in the terminal here then post the url. http://paste.ubuntu.com
[02:09] <Gaming4JC> Chipzzz: Also now that you mention it, the SSH attempts we see are only authentication - notice there are multiple attempts stating "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_5.8p1" and they are short
[02:10] <Fyodorovna> tazthespaz, always update and upigrade first.
[02:10] <Fyodorovna> upgrade*
[02:10] <bastidrazor> Gaming4JC: Chipzzz fail2ban may be a solution.
[02:10] <Ho^Oh> Doing a Ubuntu chroot install,            Assuming I got Swap drive in: /dev/sda2     and  my Ubuntu install in: /dev/sda1,             What command in Grub version 2 should I use for installing grub so the server can properly boot up?
[02:10] <Gaming4JC> bastidrazor: I have heard of that but not tested it myself, auto-ban an IP after "x" amount of login attempts?
[02:10] <tazthespaz> Fyodorovna, thankyou ill try that
[02:11] <Chipzzz> bastidrazor: he could just null route the ip in /etc/hosts, for that matter
[02:11] <Gaming4JC> yeah
[02:11] <Gaming4JC> Chipzzz: did he ever run netstat?
[02:11] <eddie_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/872421/plain/
[02:11] <Fyodorovna> Ho^Oh, in the mbr sda]
[02:11] <pfifo> Ho^Oh, sudo apt-get install grub-pc
[02:11] <eddie_> Is that it?
[02:11] <Fyodorovna> sda*
[02:11] <Chipzzz> Gaming4JC: not as far as i know
[02:11] <Gaming4JC> just curious if he's seeing any other connections and if he actually has any ports open since we don't know his IP
[02:11] <Gaming4JC> we know the chinese ip
[02:11] <Gaming4JC> lol
[02:11] <nubcake> Gaming4JC: i did run netstat -n
[02:12] <Chipzzz> nubcake: what's your ip?
[02:12] <nubcake> there were only my lan box and the cinese ip listed on that
[02:12] <nubcake> the lan ip?
[02:12] <eddie_> Fydorovna, did you get it?
[02:12] <Ho^Oh> pfifo, Fyodorovna, Woah snaps. my bad, I forgot to mention my harddrive would be exactly 2TBs big.       :S
[02:12] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, do you have a recovery or install disc for windows?
[02:12] <Gaming4JC> eddie_: outside IP
[02:12] <bastidrazor> Gaming4JC: 3 attempts. its fairly popular in keeping ssh safe.
[02:12] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: * ^^
[02:12] <eddie_> I don't
[02:12] <Gaming4JC> eddie_: sorry typo :)
[02:12] <eddie_> No problem
[02:12] <Fyodorovna> Ho^Oh, if a mbr type the mbr
[02:12] <nubcake> Gaming4JC: its dynamic, changes every 24h
[02:12] <Chipzzz> nubcake: WAN ip or URL
[02:12] <bastidrazor> Chipzzz: or use fail2ban to ban it from even connecting.
[02:13] <nubcake> for now it's <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:13] <Fyodorovna> Ho^Oh, a mbr partitioning not a uefi gpt
[02:13] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: yeah Chipzzz just wanted to know so he can run nmap and see if you have any open ports on the ubuntu box
[02:13] <Gaming4JC> :P
[02:13] <Chipzzz> bastidrazor: or that...
[02:14] <Ho^Oh> Fyodorovna: But I'm not sure exactly how to do this, I tried uefi-gpt         Set up, and that failed me.
[02:14] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, make one if you remove ubuntu windows will not boot you need to reload the windows bootloader to the mbr.
[02:14] <Chipzzz> nubcake: no hosts showing up at your ip :)
[02:14] <Ho^Oh> Fyodorovna: I thought I would need GPT for a 2TB harddrive.
[02:14] <eddie_> So I need to get a windows 7 installer cd?
[02:14] <Fyodorovna> Ho^Oh, can you confirm it is a standard mbr partitioning?
[02:14] <Fyodorovna> Ho^Oh, more than 2 tb
[02:15] <Ho^Oh> Fyodorovna: I think it's 2TBs,           But Ubuntu would run even if you decided to use GPT on a really small harddrive?
[02:16] <Chipzzz> nubcake: is that a dialup connection?
[02:16] <Fyodorovna> Ho^Oh, yes but gpt is out of my pay range. :)
[02:16] <Ho^Oh> I am having very bad luck here.        I think I'm partitioning something wrong because grub-pc should've worked.
[02:16] <nubcake> Chipzzz: it's ADSL
[02:16] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, you can make a recovery in W7.
[02:16] <Gaming4JC> Chipzzz: I had a botnet on dial-up once, not fun - basically kills your connection XD
[02:16] <Ho^Oh> I've always successfully installed Ubuntu with a tutorial like this: http://forum.ovh.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3787                <---- But not with a new server I have now.
[02:17] <Chipzzz> nubcake: it resolved to "p5DCDF3D1.dip.t-dialin.net", so i was just curious
[02:17] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, very small 100 mb or so that will get you when booted to the windows terminal to reload its bootloader.
[02:17] <Gaming4JC> Chipzzz: /whois confirms that much :P
[02:17] <nubcake> Chipzzz: i think that's what my provider assigns automatically
[02:17] <eddie_> But I need to get into windows first don't I?
[02:17] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, in the backup section of windows is make recovery disc option.
[02:18] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: so what lead you to believe ubuntu was actually infected? SSH port open and connections to the chinese IP? Or anything else out of the ordinary
[02:18] <eddie_> I know, but I would need to get the cd from another computer, correct?
[02:18] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, yes you make a recovbery cd in the backup section of W7.
[02:18] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: you might not actually be rooted, just rooting attempts :D
[02:18] <Fyodorovna> recovery*
[02:18] <Chipzzz> nubcake: anyway, i wouldn't worry too much about it... it was probably a drive-by bot that saw a host and tried to infect it
[02:19] <eddie_> I know, but I can't get into windows from my computer...
[02:19] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, can you boot to windows?
[02:19] <nubcake> Gaming4JC: having constant traffic being shown in iptraf, even though i had nothing running/accessing my linux box
[02:19] <binger> hi, i was here earlier today with a network connectivity issue.  I had ubuntu 11.10 setup dualboot on my win7 64 bit laptop.  I had network connectivity just fine until late last night.  Since this morning I uninstalled ubuntu completely (using windows uninstall). I burned 11.10 to a cd and was able to boot with it and network/ internet was working again.  So I thought ok fine I'll reinstall
[02:19] <binger> it...the install seemed to go ok but no connectivity AGAIN!  During the reinstall I notice that it said something about reinstalling packages. What I want is a totally clean ubuntu install.  Am thinking that something was corrupted and I don't want it to restore any corrupted data.  So how do I accomplish this.  I've uninstalled it again.
[02:19] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, why?
[02:19] <eddie_> No, that's what I have been trying to do
[02:19] <eddie_> I don't know how
[02:19] <Gaming4JC> Chipzzz: right, but there was the IPTables issue  ... and then his random media server sending unusual UPD traffic :P
[02:19] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, what happened to the ubuntu/linux install?
[02:20] <nishttal2> Hi everyone.. if Adobe Air no longer works on Ubuntu how do I install Pandora?
[02:20] <nishttal2> are there any workarounds?
[02:20] <eddie_> I am in ubuntu, I am trying to get back into windows. How do I get back to windows
[02:20] <Chipzzz> Gaming4JC: i hadn't heard about the iptables issue, but the udp traffic could have been the discovery phase of the hack
[02:20] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, your in a ubuntu install, or a live cd?
[02:21] <eddie_> ubuntu install. I dl'ed ubunto into cd and installed it into computer
[02:21] <binger> please advise?
[02:21] <hspcd> Need some assistance please
[02:21] <Chipzzz> Gaming4JC: what's wrong with his iptables?
[02:21] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, okay whwen you booted to ubuntu did you see a diffrent menu or know menu?
[02:21] <Fyodorovna> no*
[02:22] <Gaming4JC> Chipzzz: possibly, but it was on .184 and only a media box. His IP Tables gave this - http://pastebin.com/bicZQpH7
[02:22] <Suitecake> Not sure what happened with this most recent update, but I can't watch certain videos anymore, and the ones I can watch are choppy as hell
[02:22] <eddie_> No, when I turn on my computer I go directly to Ubuntu.
[02:22] <binger> anyone? pretty please?
[02:22] <nubcake> Chipzzz: the pastebin expired, this one is working: http://pastebin.com/cDy0iGgE
[02:23] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, open the terminal and run sudo update-grub and see if you see a line for windows in the read out
[02:23] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, pastebin the info.
[02:23] <Chipzzz> nubcake: try it with 'sudo' in front
[02:24] <nishttal2> can someone comment on Adobe air question above
[02:24] <nubcake> Chipzzz: same error
[02:24] <Suitecake> Is anyone else unable to watch some videos through their internet?
[02:24] <Fyodorovna> nishttal2, if someone knows they will.
[02:24] <Suitecake> What happened with this update?
[02:24] <binger> how to do a reinstall of ubuntu side by side with win7 without it trying to use old, possibly corrupt data?
[02:25] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: just curious can you "sudo su" ?
[02:25] <Suitecake> I want my rachel maddow plz
[02:25] <nishttal2> Fyodorovna, well i cant be the only one who wants to listen to Pandora on Ubuntu
[02:25] <Chipzzz> nubcake: "sudo iptables -L"?
[02:25] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: gives you a root terminal, not allowed if your hacked I would presume :P
[02:25] <Fyodorovna> nishttal2, channel guidelines are ask and wait for help and repost after 10 min.
[02:26] <nishttal2> :O(
[02:26] <nubcake> well i can go sudo su or sudo anything else but iptables
[02:26] <eddie_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/872438/plain/
[02:26] <Gaming4JC> nishttal2: maybe it can run under wine? :/
[02:26] <Fyodorovna> binger, way to vague, what is your definition of corrupted data.
[02:26] <eddie_> There is is I think
[02:26] <sacarlson> nubcake: Gaming4JC: I had attempted ssh attacks before,  what I did to fix it was change the port used in ssh to a none standard port number
[02:27] <nishttal2> Gaming4JC, that would suck.. Pandora runs great on Ubunutu 10.10 at work
[02:27] <nubcake> i already changed it, but thanks for helping/sharing the idea
[02:27] <nishttal2> at home i installed 11.10 and air wont install
[02:27] <binger> @fyodorovna here is my post again from 5 minutes ago:  hi, i was here earlier today with a network connectivity issue.  I had ubuntu 11.10 setup dualboot on my win7 64 bit laptop.  I had network connectivity just fine until late last night.  Since this morning I uninstalled ubuntu completely (using windows uninstall). I burned 11.10 to a cd and was able to boot with it and network/ internet
[02:27] <binger> was working again.  So I thought ok fine I'll reinstall it...the install seemed to go ok but no connectivity AGAIN!  During the reinstall I notice that it said something about reinstalling packages. What I want is a totally clean ubuntu install.  Am thinking that something was corrupted and I don't want it to restore any corrupted data.  So how do I accomplish this.  I've uninstalled it again.
[02:27] <Gaming4JC> nishttal2: lol yes :/
[02:27] <eddie_> Did you get it Fyodorvna?
[02:27] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, looks like you should be able to reboot and see windows in a menu don't choose the recovery.
[02:27] <binger> my concern that there is something in the old install that is being restored when I try to reinstall ubuntu but don't know for sure.
[02:28] <eddie_> Whaht menu should I see windows in?
[02:28] <Chipzzz> nubcake: what about "sudo iptables --list"?
[02:28] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, it is called grub the ubuntu boot menu, should come up
[02:28] <nubcake> Chipzzz: still the same
[02:28] <eddie_> Do you have a screen show of what it looks like?
[02:29] <eddie_> shot
[02:29] <Dr_willis_> text, with entries like Ubuntu kernel 3.1.2  and so forth. :)
[02:29] <Dr_willis_> !grub2
[02:30] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: http://askubuntu.com/questions/28215/how-can-i-fix-the-iptables-error-message-unable-to-initialize-table-filter might help
[02:30] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: definately need access to IP Tables for safety :P
[02:30] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, yopu will only get one reboot.
[02:30] <Fyodorovna> you
[02:30] <eddie_> what do you mean
[02:30] <nubcake> i'll try and follow that article, thanks :)
[02:31] <sacarlson> nubcake  sudo ls; same thing?  I guess that user is no longer or never was a sudo user?
[02:31] <pfifo> Hi Dr_willis_
[02:31] <Dr_willis_> hello pfifo
[02:31] <nubcake> sacarlson: i can sudo anything but iptables
[02:31] <nubcake> and that user is a sudoer
[02:32] <Fyodorovna> !pm | binger
[02:32] <Dr_willis_> bbl. gotta head to work. :)
[02:32] <moes> eddie...when you install ubuntu did you tell the installer to use the entire disk or the free space
[02:32] <nubcake> Gaming4JC: about the article, they do: uname -r and ls that path with 2.6 something in it which they got from uname -r, i tried uname -r and i get 3.0.0-14-server, but i do only have a path for 3.0.0-16-server
[02:33] <Fyodorovna> binger, if you just make a new partition you will be set
[02:33] <eddie_> Moes, my understanding was that I am supposed to have both windows and ubuntu
[02:33] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: odd... perhaps a broken update you did recently?
[02:33] <Gaming4JC> or awhile ago
[02:33] <nubcake> hmm.. maybe..
[02:33] <eddie_> But I know how to get back into windows
[02:33] <moes> eddie_, that did not answer my question
[02:33] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, you will the menu will give you a choice to boot ubuntu or windows.
[02:33] <eddie_> don't know
[02:34] <eddie_> Moes, I don't know
[02:34] <sikilpaake> i made a copy of all of the files in /var/cache/apt i transferred them to a /var/cache/apt in a recently installed computer, how can i make the new computer install all the programs from these files? last time i did this, i remember synaptic asking me to run a command
[02:34] <sacarlson> nubcake  ls -l /sbin/iptables ;   see if date last modified is within a short windows of time?  also whereis iptables  ;  see what iptables you have setup to run;  try full path if not set to run /sbin/iptables
[02:34] <technel> I put my xrandr call in ~/.profile, but it doesn't load until after the login screen. I put it in /etc/init.d/rcS, but that didn't work. Where should I put this?
[02:34] <pfifo> !clone | sikilpaake
[02:34] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, reboot you are set to get the grub menu that will show ubuntu and windows.
[02:35] <eddie_> Ok, fyodorvna, all I have to is reboot, i don't have to press anything?
[02:35] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, nope
[02:35] <sikilpaake> pfifo: where can i read more about this?
[02:35] <eddie_> i'll try it.
[02:35] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, I mean yes reboot no keys to see the menu.
[02:36] <pfifo> sikilpaake, the maual pages for apt and aptitude of course
[02:36] <pfifo> manual*
[02:36] <sikilpaake> pfifo: aptitude is no longer available in oneiric
[02:36] <pfifo> !info aptitude oneric
[02:36] <pfifo> !info aptitude oneiric
[02:36] <liljabengal> hi
[02:36] <binger> fyodorovna - you'll have to excuse my ignorance but at what point will i be given the opportunity to create a new partition?  When I boot from the cd it doesn't ask.  Remember that I am on a win7 laptop.
[02:36] <pfifo> sikilpaake, suao apt-get install aptitude
[02:37] <sikilpaake> pfifo: lol
[02:37] <sTaTiCqu0> anyone good with aircrack-ng, i'm having a prob
[02:37] <pfifo> wow I cant type today
[02:37] <Fyodorovna> binger, are you installing from windows?
[02:37] <celthunder> binger: it should ask if not go to a terminal and use fdisk or cfdisk
[02:37] <sikilpaake> pfifo: aptitude is available in oneiric?
[02:37] <liljabengal> I have burned the iso to several dvdr'd now, even different brands and so on, and I can't boot from any of them. Any idea why?
[02:37] <nubcake> ah... reboot fixed it...
[02:37] <binger> I did see something online about using gparted to completely destroy the linux partition but it doesn't show a linux partition which I assume is ext4
[02:37] <sikilpaake> pfifo: aptitude is available in oneiric? nice!!!
[02:38] <pfifo> sikilpaake, according to the info ubottu provided, its available but not installed by default
[02:38] <Fyodorovna> binger, are you installing from windows?
[02:38] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: or installed fake iptables o_O .....
[02:38] <binger> I've tried installing from windows
[02:38] <technel> I have Ubuntu 11.10. I want to put xrandr in /etc/gdm/Init/Default, but /etc/gdm/ does not exist. Thoughts?
[02:38] <Chipzzz> nubcake: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[02:38] <celthunder> liljabengal: what happens when you try idid you change your boot order to cd before hdd
[02:38] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: at any rate you should change SSH port as sacarlson suggested :)
[02:38] <sikilpaake> pfifo: please tell me its not being phased out, that's what i read, or there was a rumor going around
[02:38] <Fyodorovna> binger, right and that install is still there and you want to do it again from windows right?
[02:38] <binger> that's what i've been doing primarily. I think I tried doing it from the cd too.  I've been at this all day
[02:38] <pfifo> sikilpaake, I have no Idea
[02:39] <nubcake> Gaming4JC i mean the 3.0.0-14 and 3.0.0-16 prob
[02:39] <sTaTiCqu0> anyone good with aircrack-ng, i'm having a prob
[02:39] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: ah k :)
[02:39] <nubcake> iptables still wont work, but i'm following that site you gave me right now :)
[02:39] <pfifo> !anyone | sTaTiCqu0
[02:39] <liljabengal> celthunder, it tries to boot in black screen for a few minutes, then goes back to the start up for linux mint
[02:39] <binger> well I've uninstalled it again so now I'm wondering what you folks suggest I do to get it working
[02:39] <binger> best chance using cd or wubi?
[02:39] <haylo> cd
[02:39] <liljabengal> yes I did
[02:40] <haylo> wubi is nice for trying
[02:40] <binger> the iso is in the same folder as wubi
[02:40] <Fyodorovna> binger, first follow directions second use the tab complete of nics.
[02:40] <celthunder> binger: wubi is a stupid idea
[02:40] <celthunder> liljabengal: hmm ok try usb?
[02:40] <KI7MT> agreed LiveCD is better than Wubi
[02:40] <binger> ah, ok..I'll give that another go then.
[02:40] <Gaming4JC> sTaTiCqu0: you could also try asking in #aircrack-ng
[02:41] <celthunder> liljabengal: are you sure it wrote the cd /dvd properly did you try md5ing it
[02:41] <binger> not sure what "tab complete of nics" is
[02:41] <haylo> yeah i really recomend cd over wubi. though wuni is  areally neat program, it doesnt seem like it is for long term use
[02:41] <nubcake> weird... i try to modprobe /lib/modules/3.0.0-16server/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter/iptable_filter.ko and it tells me "iptable_filter.ko not found" but it definitely exists there, i can see it when i ls that path ^^
[02:41] <Gaming4JC> sTaTiCqu0: and ofc only use for educational purpose :P
[02:41] <sTaTiCqu0> ubottu: thx i'm very new to irc. didn't know that was there
[02:41] <Fyodorovna> !tab | binger
[02:41] <sTaTiCqu0> lol
[02:41] <ricky-1> I'm currently booked into ubuntu-12.04-beta1-desktop-amd64 on my desktop but there's no visible mouse; I can still click things (like the top-right icons.) I experienced the same thing after I did an "ubuntu-12.04-beta1-alternative-amd64" install; there was no visible mouse while trying to log in or even while logged in: I had to rely on the "Click Ctrl to highlight cursor position." The system said it was up to date. Right now I'm at
[02:41] <ricky-1>  the very first screen with "Try Ubuntu" and "Install Ubuntu" tl;dr: no /visible/ mouse. What gives?
[02:41] <celthunder> binger: tab to complete the nick so to type my name type cel tab
[02:41] <ricky-1> logged* not booked
[02:42] <Fyodorovna> !precise | ricky-1
[02:42] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: that is a bit odd, can you use "file" (and the full path) to confirm it's there?
[02:42] <Gaming4JC> it should say something like linux module file
[02:42] <binger> oh...DUH celthunder :)
[02:42] <celthunder> ricky-1: hmm try not using hotplugging and setting it up yourself=
[02:42] <nubcake> Gaming4JC: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
[02:42] <nubcake> is what it tells me
[02:42] <ricky-1> celthunder, not sure how
[02:43] <Gaming4JC> celthunder: heh you know I used IRC for ages and didn't know the tab trick? XD
[02:43] <binger> I've just gotten back into irc the last few weeks.  Used to use it a quite a bit but am a bit rusty.
[02:43] <Gaming4JC> celthunder: I just click on names with my client :P
[02:43] <Fyodorovna> ricky-1, your running 12.04 nobody should be answering you and you should be on #ubuntu+1
[02:43] <celthunder> Gaming4JC: uhm that sounds aweful
[02:44] <eddie_> I am back
[02:44] <ricky-1> Fyodorovna, sorry
[02:44] <binger> i use mirc just because that's what i know from before.  I see a lot of people using chatzilla so maybe i'll try that.  What's a good one for linux?
[02:44] <celthunder> ricky-1: try booting to init 1 or 3 and making an xorg.conf
[02:44] <liljabengal> I don't have a usb memory
[02:44] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, cool did you get to windows?
[02:44] <liljabengal> how do I test it?
[02:44] <eddie_> Didn't work, I rebooted and it sent me to the eddie: password menu
[02:44] <celthunder> binger: weechat-curses chatzilla isnt even a proper client
[02:44] <JumboJellyfish> od fucking damnit
[02:45] <pfifo> !language | JumboJellyfish
[02:45] <eddie_> Took me right to ubuntu sign in menu
[02:45] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, password menu not sure what you mean.
[02:45] <sTaTiCqu0> i'm new to irc, what are node flags?
[02:45] <SVNDR> Can anyone direct me to a tutorial on howto uninstall Ubuntu. I have ubuntu dual booting with windows 7.
[02:45] <celthunder> binger: try weechat its irssi how it ends up anyway
[02:45] <binger> will make a note of it celthunder
[02:45] <eddie_> The menu where you log in to enter ubuntu
[02:45] <eddie_> It says my name, above guest, or other
[02:46] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, go to the ubuntu forums and make a thread.
[02:46] <celthunder> SVNDR: boot to windows and repartition the ubuntu drive reinstall windows bootloader
[02:46] <binger> not that i know what irssi is.  But I will find out
[02:46] <binger> off I go to try the livecd.  Later and thank you celthunder and Fyodorovna
[02:46] <SVNDR> celthunder: Am i going to need the windows installation disc for that?
[02:46] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, if you had a W7 recovery disc or install disc we would be done, your missing some tools.
[02:47] <pfifo> SVNDR, this looks pretty sane http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-safely-uninstall-ubuntu-in-windows-dual-boot-environment/
[02:47] <eddie_> SVNDR, are you able to get into windows?
[02:47] <celthunder> svnr maybe probobly not
[02:47] <eddie_> Yeah, I know. That w7 disc is vital.
[02:47] <moes> Fyodorovna, Sounds like he overwrote windows...as he does not now if he partitioned
[02:47] <SVNDR> eddie_: yes iam able to. pfifo: thanks ill check it out
[02:47] <celthunder> eddie_: comment out the other users in /etc/passwd or set the uid below 1000 i think depends on your dm
[02:47] <eddie_> Can I get that disc from another computer and use it on mine?
[02:48] <nubcake> i'm out for now, ttyl thanks for the help again :) cheers
[02:48] <Gregace> hi people
[02:48] <Fyodorovna> moes, a fdisk -l showed windows to be there and a updtae-grub did as well.
[02:48] <iyour> anyone using linux mint
[02:48] <sTaTiCqu0> what does it mean "you need to be identified for services"?
[02:48] <celthunder> sTaTiCqu0: /msg nickserv help
[02:48] <KI7MT> iyour, no
[02:48] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, yeah a same bit 32 or 64 and same windows version.
[02:49] <Chipzzz> nubcake: have a good nite :)
[02:49] <iyour> alright thanks KI7MT
[02:49] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, version as in xp, vista, or W7.
[02:49] <eddie_> w7
[02:49] <sikilpaake> i made a copy of all of the files in /var/cache/apt i transferred them to a /var/cache/apt in a recently installed computer, how can i make the new computer install all the programs from these files? last time i did this, i remember synaptic asking me to run a command
[02:49] <Fyodorovna> !mint | iyour
[02:49] <celthunder> iyour: an entire distro that has 0 users not even the devs doesnt sound useful
[02:50] <bazhang> sikilpaake, using aptoncd?
[02:50] <Gaming4JC> nubcake: see you, take care :)
[02:50] <sTaTiCqu0> celthunder: thx
[02:50] <bazhang> !aptoncd | sikilpaake
[02:50] <eddie_> Once I have that disc, what do I do?
[02:50] <sikilpaake> !offline
[02:51] <sikilpaake> bazhang: lemme try aptoncd
[02:51] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, go to the ##Wid\ndows chanel and ask for help reloading the windows bootloader would be your destination. :)
[02:51] <eddie_> If I do a factory reset on my computer will that bring me back to windows and eliminate ubuntu?
[02:51] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, ##windows
[02:51] <Gaming4JC> sikilpaake: or you can just use pckgs.org and find the ones your looking for then manually install them with dpkg :D
[02:51] <Gaming4JC> but yeah AptOnCD is much nicer
[02:51] <celthunder> eddie_: yes
[02:52] <celthunder> eddie_: if it repartitions which it may or may not
[02:52] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, you could do a factory reset but you need to be able to boot to that.
[02:52] <eddie_> Yeah, cuz I alreayd tried that and it still booted ubuntu
[02:52] <eddie_> already
[02:53] <lerop> may i speak to an op with knowledge of security enhancement
[02:53] <sikilpaake> Gaming4JC: alright, like a week ago i did this: i copied all of the contents of /var/cache/apt to a usb, and then i copied them to the newer computer... then i launched synaptic and it asked me to run a command where it sort of "updated" or something the repository database
[02:54] <sikilpaake> i didn't write the command down, as i thought it would be easy to replicate this prompt
[02:54] <bazhang> lerop, ubuntu security enhancement?
[02:54] <Fyodorovna> eddie_, to be honest since you can't boot to windows and get no grub menu after running a update-grub there are problems there. Go to the ubuntu forums and get help by making a thread.
[02:54] <bazhang> !clone | sikilpaake this?
[02:54] <celthunder> lerop: no but you can ask a relevant question about security
[02:54] <sacarlson> lerop: tripwire is a cool addition for security if your paranoid
[02:54] <lerop> bazhang, someone with knowledge of security enhancement
[02:54] <bazhang> lerop, try ##Security
[02:54] <sikilpaake> bazhang: ok, that works, i already have a script that exports my package selections
[02:55] <eddie_> Yeah, if I have the win7 cd, how would I use it?
[02:55] <celthunder> eddie_: boot to it follow directions
[02:55] <sikilpaake> bazhang: dpkg --get-selections > ~/foo.txt
[02:55] <wylde> eddie_, did anyone suggest holding shift while you boot, after the bios runs to make the grub menu come up?
[02:56] <sikilpaake> bazhang: that part i already have down, what i need is to tell ubuntu "hey, you have new packages, install everything from there"
[02:56] <eddie_> I'll try it.
[02:56] <celthunder> eddie_: why does he need to get to the grub menu he wants to boot to his windows cd
[02:56] <celthunder> er wylde
[02:56] <sacarlson> lerop: glance at your /var/log/auth.log  and /var/log/apache2/access.log  sometimes to see attepted attacks
[02:56] <Gaming4JC> lerop: or #ubuntu-dev if programing fixes :)
[02:56] <eddie_> I don't have windows cd yet
[02:56] <lerop> anyone willing to write me a fully selinux script for 11.10 it can be python if thats easier and be willing to do it for $25
[02:56] <bazhang> sikilpaake, aptoncd was always easiest for me, just making the cd part of the repos and installing from there.
[02:56] <celthunder> lerop: no
[02:57] <lerop> paypal
[02:57] <lerop> celthunder, criminal ?
[02:57] <seth_> where is the host file? i can't find it.
[02:57] <sikilpaake> bazhang: i'll check it out
[02:57] <Fyodorovna> wylde, with a dual boot grub should show.
[02:57] <lerop> celthunder, rob ?
[02:58] <jack> seth_: do you mean /etc/hosts ?
[02:58] <wylde> Fyodorovna, it should, yes. But stranger things can happen
[02:58] <seth_> yes, its not there
[02:58] <wylde> Fyodorovna, worst case he could use the grub editor to manually add his windows partition
[02:58] <seth_> nm
[02:59] <seth_> i'm a moron
[02:59] <Fyodorovna> wylde, it took like ten posts just to get them to rebbot, go for it.
[02:59] <wylde> Fyodorovna,
[02:59] <wylde> Fyodorovna,  err, :)
[02:59] <Fyodorovna> wylde, keep the Valium close. :)
[03:00] <KI7MT> Yeah, need a few for that one :-)
[03:00] <wylde> Fyodorovna, lol
[03:01] <Pondera> Question: how do i pull up a "device manager" like in windows? im using the latest version of ubuntu
[03:02] <pfifo> Pondera, there is no such thing
[03:02] <Fyodorovna> Pondera, top or htop is similar htop needs installing.
[03:03] <pfifo> Fyodorovna, top doesnt do what device manager does, lshw is closer
[03:03] <Pondera> pfifo thanks
[03:03] <wylde> Pondera, lspci will list your pci devices in terminal  too :)
[03:04] <scriptwarlock> Pondera, actualy i remember the days of 7.04 you can peek on system tools>device manager
[03:05] <diskinetic> I am running Ubuntu from a USB thumb drive (persistent), and it isn't terribly slow, but it is noticeably hesitant at times.  Should I just spring for the SSD, or is there a way to pep up the thumb drive?
[03:05] <benn> What is the equivalent of gksudo in kubuntu?
[03:06] <Fyodorovna> pfifo, similar was not enough to keep the narcissism in check. :)
[03:06] <ricz> wr
[03:06] <bazhang> !kdesu | benn
[03:06] <pfifo> diskinetic, append 'toram' to the kernel line
[03:06] <KI7MT> diskinetic, SSD or USB device, SSD wins hands down.
[03:06] <Pondera> Thanks everyone

[03:07] <lerop> if i can't secure ubuntu with selinux i won't be able to use it.
[03:07] <sacarlson> scriptwarlock: pondera: still on ubuntu 10.04 is System>admin>System Monitor ;  very much like windows device manager
[03:07] <bazhang> Pondera, /msg ubottu please
[03:07] <Gaming4JC> So I reallllllllllllyyy need ia32libs on natty. If someone can has the time to compile a deb +5 to you... :]
[03:07] <celthunder> lerop: why cant you use selinux
[03:07] <diskinetic> pfifo, assume I don't know what that meant and say it again.  :)
[03:07] <lerop> purse
[03:07] <Pondera> Bazhang seriously people do that all the time
[03:07] <benn> bazhang: Thanks. I was trying kdesu
[03:08] <bazhang> Pondera, people who know the factoids. please learn them in /msg
[03:08] <KI7MT> lerop, It's pretty secure as it stands, have a look: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features
[03:08] <Pondera> bazhang thanks bye
[03:08] <Pondera> lol
[03:08] <pfifo> diskinetic, tell the live cd to copy its contents to the memory during system startup
[03:08] <Pondera> Bazhang why so snoody in a damn help channel
[03:09] <bazhang> Pondera, lets move on. please stay on topic
[03:09] <Pondera> i wasnt evenn talking to you go away
[03:09] <Pondera> i was using the help channel thanks hush
[03:10] <KI7MT> nothing like telling a channel op to go away, no a wise move.
[03:10] <KI7MT> .. not ..
[03:10] <celthunder> Pondera: good luck getting help with attitudes and comments like that
[03:11] <Gaming4JC> indeed...
[03:11] <Pondera> cellthunder sorry im partial to people telling me not to use the help channel
[03:11] <Gaming4JC> !language Pondera
[03:11] <Gaming4JC> :/
[03:11] <Gaming4JC> !language | Pondera
[03:11] <Gaming4JC> plus the channel is quite nice given some time

[03:11] <Venne> hey guys i was wondering if i could have some help installing this driver for ubuntu
[03:11] <haylo> Pondera, what version did you have installed agian? my wifi is not working
[03:11] <Pondera> gaming my language was fine so what are u talking about did i cuss ?
[03:12] <Pondera> haylo 11.10
[03:12] <celthunder> Venne: what driver whats the issue etc
[03:12] <Venne> its a wireless driver
[03:12] <Gaming4JC> Pondera: you said darn in family friendly channel :P
[03:12] <haylo> Pondera, i have 2 hard drives do you think this will work with 11.10? ok
[03:12] <Venne> im not getting a wireless connection and its not picking up the driver it needs so thats why its not woring its an RT5390
[03:13] <Gaming4JC> !ndiswrapper | Venne
[03:13] <Gaming4JC> might help if you have a windows driver Venne :)
[03:13] <Pondera> oh damn is a cuss word ya ?
[03:13] <Pondera> lmao
[03:13] <celthunder> Venne: odd most realteks should work does ip addr show your wlan0
[03:13] <Pondera> you guys
[03:13] <haylo> Pondera, i wasnt cussing at you
[03:13] <elky> Problem solved.
[03:13] <Gaming4JC> \o
[03:13] <Venne> umm....
[03:14] <KI7MT> There's only a few RT drivers in the kernel, that's not one of them, so it's mondprobe time.
[03:14] <Venne> http://atinfinity.wordpress.com/2011/05/21/ralink-rt5390-wi-fi-driver-on-ubuntu-11-04/ see i tried following this guide here
[03:14] <pfifo> it used to be broadcom, now its realtek, linux wireless is awesome
[03:14] <Venne> and its not helping because it keeps saying no such file or directory and its pissing me off because i know its there
[03:15] <celthunder> Venne: ls do you see it in the pwd
[03:15] <Venne> i DLed it put it in my home directory extracted it downloaded the patches copied them into the extracted folder
[03:16] <Venne> ls  shows 2010_1216_RT5390_LinuxSTA_V<IP_ADDRESS>_WiFiBTCombo_DPO
[03:16] <Venne> so the FOLDER is there i know that
[03:16] <bastidrazor> Venne: that guide is for OpenSuse.. not ubuntu
[03:17] <Venne> -_-
[03:19] <sacarlson> Venne: did you try a Linux 3.x kernel?  it appears they may have incorporated that driver in versions above 3
[03:19] <Venne> where can i get that?
[03:19] <iToast> hey
[03:19] <iToast> Is ubuntu a good os to run minecraft servers on >:D
[03:19] <celthunder> Venne: kernel.org
[03:20] <iToast> I've never ran anything java powered on ubuntu. so im not sure :P
[03:20] <sacarlson> Venne: you might see newer kernels in synaptic or if not there you can check ppa
[03:21] <Venne> im seeing
[03:21] <KI7MT> Venne, Have a gander at this vid, maybe you can see what your doing wrong: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QY46JReJ1s
[03:21] <pfifo> iToast, it beats wondows servrs hands down, but for java apps, solaris can not be beaten
[03:21] <Venne> 3.3-rc6 is the newest
[03:21] <iToast> pfifo, i love my windows server and my ubuntu server
[03:21] <iToast> i've NEVER used solaris...
[03:22] <userman> hi is there an admin here?
[03:22] <pfifo> iToast, thats great
[03:22] <iToast> userman, #ubuntu-ops
[03:22] <pfifo> userman, you can join #ubuntu-ops if you need an operator
[03:22] <Gaming4JC> userman: or !ops :P
[03:22] <pfifo> no do not use !ops
[03:22] <Gaming4JC> more emergency needed for that tho
[03:22] <log> Don't do that, please.
[03:22] <userman> i dont :)
[03:23] <North> Hello
[03:23] <North> I wanna do the remote control from other desktop.
[03:23] <Venne> KI7MT im not running debain
[03:23] <North> could you tell me how to set?
[03:24] <KI7MT> it's for both UB an DEB but was just a thought that it may help you.
[03:24] <Gaming4JC> anyway I'm off for tonight, happy ubuntu to all \o
[03:24] <Gaming4JC> and if anyone has the kindness in their heart -
[03:24] <Gaming4JC> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ia32-libs/+bug/821100/
[03:24] <Gaming4JC> :D
[03:25] <Venne> i know i looked at it earlier the problem is im not sure where hes getting the driver
[03:25] <sacarlson> North: is the remote system still in view that you want to control?  if so then look at quicksyergy
[03:26] <North> sacarlson: do you mean I need to install the quicksyergy?
[03:27] <sacarlson> north yes quicksynergy is a package to install with synaptic or apt-get,  if you can't see the remote or want to see it from the client side then vnc is what you want http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/allow-remote-control-to-your-desktop-on-ubuntu/
[03:27] <binger> celthunder well, I booted from the cd and can't get connectivity either.  So now I am going to take a look at my router to see if there's anything there. It's frustrating because it WAS working.  I grabbed 25gb of an android repo yesterday.  It was all good and can't figure out what's wrong.  I got it working for a little bit today, but as soon as I tried to make the install perm it went away
[03:27] <binger> again.  This is why I'm wondering if there's a way to make SURE that the install is totally CLEAN.  I don't know enough to know if it is picking up something that was bad about the original install or something I did unknowingly.
[03:28] <Venne> :/
[03:28] <celthunder> iToast: binger did you take my suggestions from earlier
[03:28] <Venne> oh well
[03:28] <celthunder> er sorry iToast didnt mean to flag you there
[03:29] <binger> am not sure which ones those were?  I used the cd?
[03:29] <binger> sorry if I missed it, can you copy/paste?
[03:29] <MK`> Is it possible for me to get wireless internet on a laptop running Ubuntu, and then plug in a windows PC into the ethernet port to tether it and get internet via the laptop?
[03:29] <pfifo> MK`, yes
[03:30] <North> sacarlson: I have 12.04LTS beta. I cannot find the Preferences \ Remote Desktop on the Gnome top menu.
[03:30] <binger> celthunder am not sure which ones those were?  I used the cd?
[03:31] <scriptwarlock> sacarlson, yeah that was i refering to but never saw that again on the latest ubuntus unless i install hardinfo
[03:31] <sacarlson> North: sorry I've never run 12.04lts yet and it's not supported here #ubuntu+1  maybe?
[03:32] <celthunder> binger: i said try static addressing check ip addr and ip route and /etc/resolv.conf
[03:32] <iToast> celthunder, its on
[03:32] <iToast> :p
[03:32] <iToast> ok*
[03:33] <pfifo> MK`, I use this method http://tldp.org/HOWTO/html_single/Masquerading-Simple-HOWTO/
[03:35] <MK`> thanks pfifo
[03:36] <uofm49426> dum question maybe but my video card is opengl 4.1 but nvidia driver 280.13 tells me version  1.4  is opengl 4.1 just not empe
[03:36] <uofm49426> implemented
[03:38] <sacarlson> pfifo: MK`: from the look at that link I guess you have to manualy setup a static ip address on your client side.  I wonder if there is a verision someplace that adds dhcp?  I havn't seen one myself
[03:38] <pfifo> uofm49426, you may need the latest drivers from nvidia to get OpenGL4 to work
[03:40] <binger> celthunder oh right.  I did do that and I saved the results for you.  Will try to send to you, but give me a bit...my irc skills are rusty.  I did find the url that was very similar to what I am seeing here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1802235  see post #7 especially.  I tried walking through that thread and my results were very similar.  Maybe something with the dhcp but not sure
[03:40] <binger> why.  Don't see that this was ever really resolved but would have to look closer
[03:40] <pfifo> sacarlson, you dont want dchp, static internal network is much easier, but if you must have dhcp, look into dnsmasq
[03:40] <KI7MT> MK`, Here's a simple how-too using the network manager: https://jeremy.visser.name/2009/03/simple-internet-connection-sharing-with-networkmanager/
[03:40] <uofm49426> why cant ubuntu start getting newer drivers in there repository
[03:41] <MK`> I'll look into both, thanks guys
[03:41] <pfifo> uofm49426, ubuntu copies debian, you should be asking "why cant debian start getting newer drives in their repos"
[03:41] <KI7MT> That link says 8.xx but I do it on a 10.04 box and it just works.
[03:43] <uofm49426> can you paste me how to remove this driver and nurew what ever its called
[03:45] <pfifo> uofm49426, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaManual
[03:46] <celthunder> uofm49426: modprobe -r to unload a module
[03:48] <sacarlson> pfifo: yes I see an example with dnsmasq as you pointed out here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing  but a bit more complicated than your original method
[03:48] <binger> celthunder am trying to send you that file now.  Not sure if i did that right :)
[03:48] <KI7MT> All I had to do was share the IPV4 connection in network manager and UB done the rest.
[03:51] <upset> Hey guys. Tried to update to beta 1 and the installer froze at the end. The result was some kind of unusable mutant, so I started the live drive on creating a second partition. Very nervous. Do y'all have any advice, especially if the live drive freezes again?
[03:51] <Super_Random> can I have some help?
[03:51] <upset> I can try
[03:52] <upset> What is the problem?
[03:52] <KI7MT> Backup anything you dont want mutated and proceed with caution.
[03:52] <pfifo> sacarlson, thats why a static internal network is prefered
[03:52] <upset> KI7MT It's a little late for that
[03:52] <Super_Random> Is there any way i can see what hardware is installed on my computer, from within Ubuntu?
[03:52] <celthunder> binger: upload it somewhere
[03:52] <celthunder> binger: or use pastebin
[03:52] <upset> Ubuntu Tweak does that
[03:53] <binger> celthunder one thought, I do have my ethernet connection set to a static address in windows.  So is there something I have to do in ubuntu so it sees that address?  In other words how to set the static addr there?
[03:53] <Super_Random> I need to see if I can get SDHC firware for my SD card reader
[03:53] <rawfodog> How do I traaaaaaaaaansfer files between 2 computers running ubuntu on a network ?
[03:53] <Super_Random> Ubuntu Tweak?
[03:53] <upset> Super_Random Ubuntu tweak does that. The other option is terminal commands
[03:53] <Super_Random> what?
[03:53] <sacarlson> KI7MT:  cool glad to hear that's working now, I still see some responces about problems and conflicts using that but I'm sure it can work after configed
[03:53] <upset> Super_Random: I don't think I'm smart enough for your question
[03:53] <Super_Random> How do I access that
[03:54] <Super_Random> the Ubuntu Tweak thing
[03:54] <celthunder> binger: /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf
[03:54] <binger> celthunder i don't know how much influence what I do in windows has on what i do in ubuntu in a side by side install.  i don't know how independent/dependent they are in each other
[03:54] <scriptwarlock> Super_Random, lspci
[03:54] <celthunder> binger: you can use tho same static address in each of them
[03:55] <binger> celthunder so i need to edit those?
[03:55] <upset> Super_Random : Ubuntu Tweak is a program. Google it. It has a very basic hardware info thing, reminiscent of Windows "My Computer." But i don't think it will tell you what you want to know
[03:55] <celthunder> binger: yes
[03:55] <scriptwarlock> Super_Random, ir hardinfo
[03:55] <binger> celthunder aha, maybe we are getting somewhere :)
[03:55] <userman> rawfodog, forget it u need ftp or ssh and lots of luck cause ubuntu is an half-done-half-ready OS
[03:55] <KI7MT> sacarlson, I've not had any. All the PC's on the sub-net are 10.42.42.xx haven't seen any collisions or conflicts yet
[03:56] <upset> Is there any more specific advice on how to handle it if my live drive gets stuck? If I screw up the partition table, I don't know what I'lll do....
[03:56] <binger> celthunder of course the other test would be to disable the static ip in windows.  Then it should work no matter what in ubuntu?
[03:56] <upset> When I tried to upgrade it it stayed in the same frozen state for hours, though it looked like it was still accessing and processing information.
[03:56] <celthunder> binger: no
[03:57] <binger> poop
[03:57] <binger> :)
[03:57] <binger> well, maybe not no matter what..
[03:57] <Super_Random> so...
[03:57] <uofm49426> its old running 11.10
[03:57] <Super_Random> how do I know which one is which?
[03:57] <celthunder> binger: do you have anther comy ou can talk to me on while in ubuntu
[03:58] <celthunder> binger: it would make this a lot easier
[03:58] <upset> Nothing? Aw man... I'll probably be back.
[03:59] <upset> see you later, community.
[03:59] <uofm49426> it dont show removing nouveau
[03:59] <Super_Random> ok...
[03:59] <Super_Random> Now to figure out what thing it has
[03:59] <binger> celthunder I agree that it would and was actually thinking about that.  I have an old xp laptop but fear that that would be another issue as it is slow as a slug.  If I don't get this working today I will try and see what I can do about getting IRC working on that one and we can continue on..
[04:02] <sgo11> hi, just wondering if apt-get, update-manager, software center use the same package index files or not. since update-manager and software center will always show the latest softwares in repo. do I still need to run apt-get update everytime to refresh my index files? thanks.
[04:02] <binger> celthunder so what I am going to try to do tonight is 1) install ubuntu 11.10 from the cd side by side with win7 if no connectivity I will 2) look for those two files you mentioned and edit them and reboot and see what happens.  3) if I am not totally frustrated by then I will disable the static ethernet ip in windows and see if the livecd will get a connect in try me mode.  Sound good?
[04:02] <celthunder> binger: ok well here first write down your netmask ip and gateway from windows then boot to ubuntu edit /etc/network/interfaces like so http://www.ubuntugeek.com/change-ubuntu-system-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address.html then edit /etc/resolv.conf and add nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:03] <celthunder> binger: then stop netmanager and related services and do a /etc/init.d/networking restart
[04:03] <celthunder> binger: try that
[04:03] <binger> how do i stop netmanager?
[04:03] <Ho^Oh> Fyodorovna: I'm not going to need to add the GPT partition to fstabs, right?
[04:04] <Fyodorovna> Ho^Oh, I have no idea with gpt. :)
[04:04] <celthunder> binger: su up then /etc/init.d/networkmanager stop btw use root to edit the above files and restart networking as well
[04:04] <Ho^Oh> Okay.
[04:04] <Fyodorovna> Ho^Oh, I have never dealt with one.
[04:05] <binger> to use root, type su at the prompt as with my galaxy nexus android phone?
[04:06] <Chipzzz> binger: sudo
[04:06] <binger> thanks Chipzzz
[04:06] <celthunder> binger: sudo su -
[04:07] <binger> alright then let me see what I can hash out with that.  Fortunately hubby is not home so I won't get yelled at too much :):)
[04:08] <Chipzzz> celthunder: su - is not recommended for Ubuntu... the developers recommend sudo -i
[04:08] <binger> otherwise I will see what I can do about getting irc going on the old laptop.  It could be a day or two.
[04:08] <binger> thank you.  sudo -i it is
[04:08] <binger> note made
[04:08] <Ho^Oh> Does fstabs need to include the EFI partition?
[04:09] <binger> at this point I will try both ways :)
[04:09] <Chipzzz> binger: it's "sudo command" if you just want to type one line...
[04:09] <Chipzzz> binger: or "sudo -i" if you want a root shell
[04:09] <Ho^Oh> sgo11: It does.
[04:09] <Ho^Oh> sgo11: Uses the same stuff.
[04:09] <quazimodo> does ubuntu stop inbound http requests, because apache works fine on the intranet but i cant seem to get my port forward to work
[04:10] <Ho^Oh> sgo11: All those GUI tools are really just a front end to: apt-get or aptitude.
[04:10] <sgo11> Ho^Oh, thanks for this reply. that means I do not need to run apt-get update anymore. it will be updated automatically in background. right?
[04:12] <Chipzzz> quazimodo: your isp may be blocking access
[04:13] <ravn1> hi guys, I am about to buy an ultraportable, but I need to run Windows on it too, and was thinking to do it by virtualization, but I haven't got very much experience with that. Only tried it on ancient hardware (ans on Atom, which wasn't a very pleasant experience either), and then it has been completely useless. So what is required? If I buy a computer with core i5, am I fine? Is it VT-x that is the key component, or something else?
[04:14] <quazimodo> Chipzzz: im on port 23232 ffs
[04:14] <binger> Chipzzz copied & pasted too.  thanks.  Will see what I can get done tonight.  Else it may be a day or two before I can get back to it.  I do get OCD about this kind of thing so who knows?
[04:15] <Chipzzz> :)
[04:16] <_wald0> quazimodo: if your ubuntu box is behind a router, you may need to forward that port to it (the ubuntu box)
[04:17] <Ho^Oh> sgo11: Yes.
[04:17] <sgo11> Ho^Oh, thanks a lot. :)
[04:18] <root_> hey
[04:19] <akw_> how do i check which of the sites is enabled in apache2 , in ubuntu
[04:19] <akw_> how do i check which of the sites is enabled in apache2 , in ubuntu
[04:19] <Chipzzz> akw_: look in /etc/apache2/sites_enabled
[04:20] <celthunder> look in /etc/apache2/site enabled
[04:20] <akw_> Chipzzz, it shows 2 of them , workspace and 00p
[04:21] <celthunder> akw_: a2ensite to enable others
[04:21] <akw_> but when i run http://localhost/index.php , it is pointing to some other directory
[04:21] <celthunder> /var/www?
[04:21] <akw_> celthunder, to disable ?
[04:22] <wojox>  /quit
[04:22] <akw_> let me check the directory
[04:22] <Chipzzz> akw_: those are the sites you have enabled... to see the available sites look in /etc/apache2/sites_available
[04:23] <Chipzzz> akw_: use 'ls' to look in the directories mentioned for the sites available and enabled
[04:23] <dwade09> okay i am running windows 7 and i need to know how to turn my usb external hard drive into a bootable ubuntu live cd so i can install ubuntu off of it.
[04:24] <tottiq> dwade09, it would be better if you use a usb drive instead of a external hard drive

[04:42] <scientes> anyone have some expertise on grub?????
[04:42] <scientes> i'm not getting a response in #grub
[04:42] <scientes> root@ubuntu-SD:/# grub-install /dev/sdb
[04:42] <scientes> /usr/sbin/grub-setup: error: hd1 appears to contain a iso9660 filesystem which isn't known to reserve space for DOS-style boot.  Installing GRUB there could result in FILESYSTEM DESTRUCTION if valuable data is overwritten by grub-setup (--skip-fs-probe disables this check, use at your own risk).
[04:43] <scientes> i can't skip cause that option is taken by grub-setup, not grub-install
[04:43] <scientes> and i can't get the parameters to grub-setup right, particularly the -r parameter
[04:45] <Tohuw> Setting up BIND: If my local network is <IP_ADDRESS>/24, what is the proper syntax to express every 10.in-addr.arpa address except that subnet? I need to know so that I can list it in my modified rfc1918 zones file. Or is it top-down processing, such that a later reference to that subnet and another db will take precedence?
[04:45] <scientes> Tohuw, throw BIND out the windows, use dnsmasq
[04:46] <scientes> its way better and easier to setup
[04:46] <Tohuw> scientes: I understand your reason for that statement, but I specifically need BIND in this environment. dnsmasq does not have the featureset I require.
[04:46] <roasted> Question - has anybody ever had any success using triple monitors with Ubuntu? I'm using two Nvidia gfx cards - GT440 and 6200 - in hopes of triple screening. Is there a way to accomplish this?
[04:47] <scientes> roasted, yes it works
[04:47] <y0om4> hi
[04:47] <scientes> however with AMD/ATI/eyefinity you get more monitors per GPU
[04:47] <y0om4> how do i change the order of the icons in the dashboard launcher?
[04:47] <Ho^Oh> For setting up ubuntu to boot over efi, do I need to specify a boot partition in fstab?
[04:47] <scientes> up to 6 IIRC
[04:48] <scientes> Ho^Oh, not sure, but i don't believe DFI uses MSDOS partition lables of fstab
[04:48] <scientes> and that you need GNU parted
[04:48] <scientes> and to use GPT lables
[04:49] <scriptwarlock> y0om4, using unity?
[04:49] <Tohuw> y0om4: There is no way to edit that, short of modifying the source code and recompiling.
[04:49] <Ho^Oh> scientes: So far. I created GPT partition table. chroot installed ubuntu, apt-get installed grub-pc       installed kernel,           after that, when I want to reboot from harddrive, it doesn't boot.
[04:51] <scientes> Ho^Oh, well, fdisk doesn't do GPT, so its the wrong tool
[04:51] <Ho^Oh> scientes: I used parted.      I was following this guide to do a GPT set up: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-ia64.xml?style=printable&part=1&chap=4#doc_chap4
[04:52] <scientes> Ho^Oh, the problem you are probably running into is that with GPT partitioning you need a special partition for grub
[04:52] <scientes> a 2 MB partition
[04:52] <Ho^Oh> I made it.
[04:52] <Ho^Oh> Using that guide. It recommends 32MBs.
[04:54] <binger> celthunder:  good news + question.  I have a little script/batch file to run when travelling with the laptop and to disable the static ip.  Ran that to disable the static ip and I now get connectivity via ethernet  with the "try me" ubuntu live cd.  This is good.  My question now is that it wants to install on one of the little Western digital external drives that I use, in particular, an old
[04:54] <binger> 80 gb one.  I really want it to just be a partition on my c drive.  I don't want it to wipe any data off that old drive.  Advice please?
[04:55] <scientes> Ho^Oh, no, it only needs 2MB, with MSDOS partitioning it only has 512bytes IIRC
[04:55] <scientes> yeah Ho^Oh you are not using ia64
[04:55] <roasted> scientes, do you by chance know of a guide to accomplish this? So far all I've ran into was dead end after dead end.
[04:55] <scientes> you are using amd64
[04:56] <scientes> Ho^Oh, you definitely do not have ia64, that is something totally wrong
[04:56] <scientes> roasted, use the nvidia propritart driver
[04:56] <scientes> and then install nvidia-settings-manager
[04:56] <roasted> scientes, I am
[04:56] <scientes> and then run it
[04:56] <roasted> scientes, I did
[04:56] <roasted> scientes, I did
[04:56] <scientes> and use xinerama
[04:56] <roasted> scientes, I did
[04:56] <roasted> scientes, although, xinerama doesn't support 3d stuff, does it?
[04:57] <roasted> scientes, I was using gnome shell. perhaps that's why my monitors lit up but it was just... bad looking...
[04:57] <skinnux99> is there any other better way to be able to send/recieve ics calendar invites without lightning/thunderbird?
[04:57] <scientes> roasted, yes xinerama does support 3d
[04:57] <roasted> scientes, so it therefore should support gnome shell?
[04:57] <scientes> however, windows might maximixe to span multiple monitors, which can be annoying
[04:57] <skinnux99> i cant believe thunderbird does not handle calendar invites
[04:58] <roasted> scientes, yeahhhh
[04:58] <roasted> scientes, so, in all honesty from a usability standpoint, it may "work", but it hardly sounds like a logical solution
[04:58] <Ho^Oh> scientes: Yes, but I'm not sure anymore. So I make 3 partitions.  1. EFI (2MBs) 2. SWAP (4GBs). 3. OperatingSystem (remaining space).                    Then my fstabs should only list: 1. Swap. 2. OS.  3. proc.  and 4. sysfs.            Right?
[04:58] <scientes> no, i did fix that
[04:58] <scientes> but it is a problem you might run into while trying to get it to work
[04:59] <celthunder> binger: glad your network works hope my advice helped a bit.  anyway you can defrag and resize your c partition
[04:59] <roasted> scientes, did you use the tool, or did you manually edit xorg?
[04:59] <scientes> Ho^Oh, correct
[04:59] <scientes> roasted, i forget, it was a long time ago
[04:59] <roasted> sigh
[04:59] <scientes> but i remember fudging with xorg once
[04:59] <hmw> a friend has an instable computer and we are trying to revive it. SSH login still works, but the video card is dead. Is there something, we could kill or restart, that *might* help get the gdm back up?
[04:59] <scientes> along with using that tool
[04:59] <roasted> wel, I'll keep asking around then. thanks for the insight. at least I know it works.
[04:59] <scientes> now im on a ati box
[04:59] <roasted> sorry to hear that :P
[05:00] <Ho^Oh> scientes: I'm not sure what flags are necessary,        I read SOME tutorials that says I do not need efi flag on the 2mb partition.
[05:00] <scientes> hmw, /etc/init.d/*dm restart
[05:00] <scientes> Ho^Oh, gparted can do it
[05:00] <scientes> as well as the debian-installer (alternative installer)
[05:00] <hmw> scientes: We tried that already, but that won't help (this happened quite often in the last 3 years) - I was hoping to do something at a deeper level like unloading the module and thus forcing the GPU to "reboot"
[05:00] <scientes> it has a special partition type for it
[05:01] <Ho^Oh> scientes: Do what? Set flags?
[05:01] <scientes> hmw, well, ctrl-alt-backspace use to work
[05:01] <scientes> hmw, however they turned that off by default
[05:01] <binger> celthunder: yes it did.  It wants to install ubuntu on my g: external drive though.  Will I lose data if I allow it?  How do I get it to install on the c?  The c drive currently has 58gb out of 298gb free while the g is 26.2gb out of 74.5gb.  That doesn't sound good to me.  Need some wiggle room.
[05:01] <hmw> i'm not sure, if we tried that... it is now ALT+SysRq+K btw
[05:01] <damo22> Ho^Oh, i have experience with efi bootloaders do you need some help?
[05:02] <scientes> hmw, that is totally differn't, one goes to x11 one goes to kernel, the +k is the OOM killer
[05:02] <scientes> hmw, its not related to reboot however
[05:02] <scientes> its really a driver problem
[05:02] <celthunder> binger: you pick the drive you want and the installer should let you resize make sure you have a backup though
[05:02] <hmw> ah i thought you meant to kill X
[05:02] <scientes> hmw, i did
[05:02] <scientes> ctrl-alt-backspace restarts X
[05:02] <celthunder> binger: especially with that little free space
[05:02] <hmw> no longer, they changed that in 9.04 i think?
[05:03] <scientes> and alt-sysrq-k just triggers the OOM killer
[05:03] <binger> celthunder it's not letting me pick.  The drop down menu in the installer only shows the one and, of course, it's the one without the most free space.
[05:03] <hmw> oom killer... got to google that. thanks anyways!
[05:03] <scientes> which typically kills the process using the most ram (typ either firefox or X11)
[05:03] <hmw> aah interesting
[05:03] <scientes> but sometimes also kvm or vbox
[05:03] <Ho^Oh> damo22: Yes.         I'm now confused whether or not if  EFI partition needs a boot flag.        And if it also needs EFI flag.
[05:03] <hmw> heheh ... but now i understand, why it sometimes doesnt do anything
[05:03] <celthunder> binger: partition it outside the installer then or hope somene else can help i usually just wipe everything
[05:04] <celthunder> binger: so sorry not much use in resizing etc
[05:04] <binger> ok, let me give that some thought..just not sure why it's not letting me even choose c:
[05:05] <binger> at least we know we are on the right track.  I can worry about the static ip later :)
[05:05] <binger> i think i will just disconnect the external drives before i try the install again :)
[05:06] <damo22> Ho^Oh, are you running a mac?
[05:06] <dwade09> hey i am running windows os right now if i mount my iso image in a iso mount in windows can i install it even in the windows ?
[05:07] <scientes> dwade09, if you use the wubi.exe option, yes
[05:07] <scientes> however that will not be an optimum install
[05:07] <Ho^Oh> damo22: No. It's suppose to be a 64bit server, using an i5 processor.        (Harddrive size is 2TBs).
[05:07] <dwade09> scientes: ? what do you mean?
[05:07] <mumixam> quebre: do you not have a optical drive?
[05:07] <scientes> !wubi | dwade09
[05:08] <ImTheDude> i have a question
[05:08] <damo22> Ho^Oh, is it Mac intel hardware? why is it efi?
[05:08] <scientes> dwade09, Ubuntu/GNU/Linux is not a windows program, but with !wubi, you can install from windows
[05:09] <ImTheDude> in the new orical vbox version 4.1.8 can you still do all of the compizfusion
[05:09] <umashankar> how to use binary distribution in ubuntu . package i am using contain bin,doc,man folders
[05:09] <ImTheDude> for ubuntu
[05:09] <scientes> ImTheDude, i recommend installing it to your hardware
[05:10] <Ho^Oh> damo22: I thought uefi/efi is pretty much similar/same.
[05:10] <saaib> I installed the Battle of Wesnoth game on 3 Ubuntu laptops in home, however can't find the wesnoth server, I'm using 11.10
[05:10] <damo22> Ho^Oh, not really Mac implements it slightly differently on some hardware
[05:10] <scientes> saaib, just click "multiplayer"
[05:10] <scientes> saaib, or are you trying to do a local multiplayer game?
[05:11] <saaib> scientes, If I want to host a game is asking for the wesnothd binary
[05:11] <scientes> saaib, instead of using the master server
[05:11] <scientes> saaib, ahh for that you probably have to install something like wesnoth-server
[05:11] <Ho^Oh> damo22: I've always used this tutorial to chroot install Ubuntu: http://forum.ovh.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3787                 <---- But with this new server here, I can't for the life of me make it boot.
[05:11] <damo22> Ho^Oh, that said, i have created a livecd that boots mac natively on efi
[05:11] <scientes> saaib, sudo apt-get install wesnoth-server
[05:11] <saaib> scientes, but there is no search result for that, tried already
[05:12] <scientes> saaib, you have to click "show technical items"
[05:12] <scientes> on the bottom of the software center
[05:12] <saaib> ahh! haven't tried that, let me check
[05:12] <Ho^Oh> damo22: Now I decided to use this http://forum.ovh.co.uk/showthread.php?t=5616         to work on grub-pc install, and I'm still having issues.
[05:13] <damo22> Ho^Oh, if your hardware is UEFI you cant use grub/grub-pc you need grub-efi
[05:13] <saaib> scientes, Hah! That was it, thanks a lot!
[05:16] <Ho^Oh> damo22: So I'm better off just deleting boot partition and reinstall the grub?
[05:16] <Ho^Oh> Along with the kernel?
[05:17] <brian> Errors were encountered while processing:
[05:17] <brian>  nvidia-kernel-common
[05:18] <brianp1992> Errors were encountered while processing:
[05:18] <brianp1992>  nvidia-kernel-common
[05:19] <damo22> Ho^Oh, the important part is that the grub efi executable needs to be on a FAT partition (on mac anyway) under the path /efi/boot/bootx64.efi
[05:20] <Ho^Oh> damo22: I don't think my server is mac o_O
[05:20] <Ho^Oh> I'll try out grub-efi now.
[05:20] <damo22> ok, im not sure you might need to read the manual for your server
[05:22] <Ho^Oh> damo22: The host pretty much spoon feeds me, To prevent that, I have to chroot install Ubuntu.
[05:22] <Lirth> I just built my computer for the first time and when I try to turn it on and boot in Ubuntu I run into problems where it just stops. I can't figure out why.
[05:22] <donsd> Anyone know how to configure font in emelfm2?
[05:23] <nyRednek> quick question, how does ubuntu's encrypted directories work? iow, how does it decide to mount an encrypted dir and how does it decide to unmount it?
[05:24] <donsd> Anyone know how to make vim the crontab editor?
[05:24] <rypervenche> donsd: You can make vim your default editor
[05:24] <rypervenche> donsd: Or you can add EDITOR=vim before the command
[05:25] <tonesfrommars> donsd: I think you have to "export EDITOR=vim"
[05:26] <sacarlson> Lirth: can you get into grub and try boot recovery mode?
[05:26] <donsd> rypervenche, VIM is my default editor. echo $EDITOR = /usr/bin/gvim
[05:26] <Lirth> sacarlson: This is the first time I've ever turned the computer on. Would that still work?
[05:27] <rypervenche> donsd: That's gvim, not vim. Which do you want to use?
[05:27] <sacarlson> Lirth: well if you can't see the console mesages at boot you have no info of where it might have stoped, maybe you will see more in recovery
[05:27] <Lirth> sacarlson: I'm trying to boot from a USB drive. How do I tell which piece I'm looking for to find grub?
[05:27] <sacarlson> Lirth: oh if you just built it did you even install ubuntu yet?  try a live boot cd?
[05:28] <donsd> tonesfrommars, I did the export and then crontab -e. Now have blank gvim screen.  I think you are right. Will experiment. Thanks.
[05:28] <Lirth> sacarlson: I'm trying to install ubuntu now and that's where I'm having problems
[05:28] <sacarlson> Lirth: on a usb boot I guess it should come up into grub if you hold shift?
[05:29] <donsd> rypervenche, Either vim or gvim will be fine.
[05:29] <rypervenche> donsd: I suggest you try with vim first. try "EDITOR=vim crontab -e"
