[05:41] <bgilb> what is pulseaudio?
[05:41] <bazhang_> bgilb, no, "it" has high memory usage <----- what is IT
[05:41] <gaelfx> eoss: if this file is really important to you, then you might try installing Wine and the WMP inside that
[05:41] <bgilb> pulseaudio uses around 100mb of memory
[05:42] <bazhang_> bgilb, please describe what your exact problem is

[05:43] <amit> how to delete an extended partition s i want to make it as primary?
[05:43] <eoss> gaelfx, im redownloading the files from another source
[05:43] <eoss> gaelfx, still iso's tho
[05:44] <jaysern> does anyone have trouble with the system appearing to be hung while updating java ? (lucid lynx lts)
[05:44] <bazhang_> bgilb, is compiz enabled or disabled; what ff extensions do you have; how was flash installed, what are your system specs, version and arch of Ubuntu
[05:44] <amit> help me how to delete an extended partition as i tried to delete it using live cd from gparted but it is showing error
[05:44] <amit> it is not giving delete option actually
[05:45] <gaelfx> amit: is the drive that you are trying to change mounted?
[05:45] <amit> i unmounted it
[05:45] <joeoshawa> is it only mkv files that subtitles play by default
[05:45] <bazhang_> joeoshawa, if they are hardcoded
[05:45] <bgilb> compiz enabled, only noscript ff addon , flash was installed via software center (v 10.2), ubuntu version is 10.10 not sure what arch means, system specs: Phenom x4 9600, 2GB ram, Nvidia gtx 260
[05:45] <joeoshawa> separate file
[05:46] <gaelfx> amit: what does the error say?
[05:46] <amit> actually in extended partition there is a logical partition that i unmount
[05:46] <joeoshawa> i can turn them off but they are on every time i start a video
[05:46] <bazhang_> joeoshawa, make sure the .srt has the same name and is in the same folder
[05:46] <amh345> what would some of the reasons be for not being able to browse my network or webpages wirelessly, despite being able to connect to my router? im stumped and can't find ANY info.
[05:46] <gaelfx> amit: is there anything else in the extended partition?
[05:46] <joeoshawa> i don't want the subtitles to play
[05:47] <satya> i configured ldap and samba for user authentication. what are the steps to be taken to link up windows 7 machine to acces the ldap server
[05:47] <bazhang_> joeoshawa, which media player
[05:47] <joeoshawa> all of them
[05:47] <amit> gaelfix: yes a drive and swap
[05:47] <joeoshawa> but movie player is the one i am using
[05:47] <bazhang_> joeoshawa, are they hardcoded, or following an srt file
[05:47] <joeoshawa> srt file
[05:47] <gaelfx> amit: and what are you trying to do exactly? I mean besides delete the partition?
[05:47] <bazhang_> joeoshawa, then remove the file?
[05:48] <joeoshawa> damn
[05:48] <joeoshawa> ok
[05:48] <amit> gaelfx: error says when i even going to delete that logical partition it says that remove the logical greater than 5
[05:48] <joeoshawa> thought maybe there was a way i could make them off by default and turn them on if i want them
[05:49] <amit> gaelfx: i want to completely remove extended space and want tomake new primary partitions as the extended have the full space
[05:49] <gaelfx> joeoshawa: there isn't a preferences option in any of the menus?
[05:49] <joeoshawa> not for the default
[05:49] <gaelfx> amit: how many primary partitions do you have now?
[05:50] <joeoshawa> i have to turn them off every time i start a video
[05:50] <amit> gaelfx: 2 primary partitions and the second one am using s extended and under this i have a logical drive and a swap
[05:51] <bgilb> would it be better if i posted on the forums?
[05:51] <gaelfx> amit: did you try deleting the logical partition first?
[05:51] <amh345> i've asked my question 10 times over the last 2 days and have received zero response.
[05:51] <amh345> it's frustrating
[05:51] <bazhang_> bgilb, arch refers to 32bit or 64bit
[05:51] <bgilb> 32 bit
[05:51] <joeoshawa> it seems to be a universal thing
[05:51] <amit> gaelfx: yes i tried but it says delete the logical more than 5
[05:51] <bgilb> but my cpu is 64bit
[05:52] <gaelfx> joeoshawa: in preferences, see the checkbox that says "Load subtitles file when movie is loaded"?
[05:52] <joeoshawa> i have quite a few players and all of them play the subtitles on startup
[05:52] <amit> gaelfx: should i have to delete swap first before the logical drive as swap goes to sda6
[05:53] <gaelfx> amit: give it a try
[05:53] <amh345> ping
[05:54] <gaelfx> joeoshawa: well, I personally prefer smplayer, but that's me. vlc is pretty good too. I almost never touch movie player though
[05:54] <joeoshawa> now thats weird i see it and its unchecked
[05:54] <amit> gaelfx: ok m going with live cd i wlii come after the result ok
[05:54] <gaelfx> joeoshawa: indeed, that is pretty weird
[05:54] <gaelfx> joeoshawa: is this an mkv with built-in subs?
[05:54] <joeoshawa> yeah its just the default i tried changing that but i am having a problem with that setting too lol
[05:54] <gaelfx> amit: ok, good luck!
[05:54] <joeoshawa> no separate file
[05:55] <joeoshawa> but if i go to subtitles in the menu or when i right click while its playing it turns them off when i select none
[05:55] <gaelfx> joeoshawa: try smplayer, if you have it, the options are much more vast, confusing, but precise ;)
[05:55] <joeoshawa> actually i like smplayer
[05:56] <craig> anyone familiar with ubuntu netbbok edition?
[05:56] <eoss> same problem with new vids downloaded =/
[05:56] <eoss> brb gonna restart
[05:56] <gaelfx> joeoshawa: if you want to make it the default player, you just need to check the properties of any kind of movie file you want it to play and select smplayer under the opens with tab, then it will always open files of that type with smplayer
[05:56] <joeoshawa> i would say smplayer then vlc then xine
[05:57] <joeoshawa> hahaha i forgot that lol omg i feel like a noob now
[05:57] <craig> how do i get unity to install?
[05:57] <gaelfx> joeoshawa: hey, no big deal, I forget shtuff all the time
[05:58] <SeRVeR01> hey guys
[05:58] <gaelfx> craig unity should be the default if you're using 10.10, I think
[05:58] <amh345> testtest helli?
[05:58] <bgilb> thanks for the help guys i gotta go
[05:58] <gaelfx> amh345: hear ya
[05:58] <craig> i can only log into the desktop version
[05:58] <amh345> gaelfx: thanks
[05:58] <amh345> ive been typing for an hour.. but i dont know if it's shown up.
[05:58] <joeoshawa> one thing i gotta say i got all my media set to play off one sound card and all the other stuff of another so ubuntu knows what sound should come out where try doing that in windows lol
[05:59] <ylmfos> hello
[05:59] <gaelfx> joeoshawa: yeah, there are definitely some nice things about linux :D
[05:59] <gaelfx> ylmfos: howdy
[05:59] <SeRVeR01> hey guys , got a question all the time after i log on got to readjust screen resolution from 1024x768  to 1280x1024 why =D ?
[06:00] <ylmfos> you ren mei you
[06:00] <gaelfx> !unity | craig
[06:00] <harisund> When I installed from the server, I was shown a list of servers from which I could choose (as in DNS, LAMP etc) .. and when I installed from network boot, it showed me a bigger list with desktops. How do I get that screen of options?
[06:00] <gaelfx> ylmfos: 如果你要打中文请你去#ubuntu-cn
[06:01] <joeoshawa> funny thing is with vlc if i open it on the computer screen it comes out the computer speakers if i open it on the tv it comes out those speakers but how does it know i never set it
[06:01] <joeoshawa> not that i am complaining
[06:02] <amh345> hi guys, i cannto for the life of me get my wireless functioning properly. i can connect to my router.. but pages are served extremely slowly or not at all.
[06:02] <amh345> can anyone assist?
[06:02] <gaelfx> craig alternatively, you can use Synaptic Package Manager to install unity, if need be
[06:03] <gaelfx> amh345: check connection information from the network manager applet in your panel, tell us what driver it's using and what kind of connection it reports
[06:04] <SeRVeR01> yo guys any 1 can help with my problem ?
[06:04] <gaelfx> !ask
[06:04] <ylmfos_> #ubuntu-cn
[06:04] <amh345> gaelfx: the driver says iwlagn  im unsure where it says what kind of connect it reports?
[06:05] <SeRVeR01> all the time after i log on got to readjust screen resolution from 1024x768  to 1280x1024
[06:05] <gaelfx> ylmfos_: 你应该打/join #ubuntu-cn
[06:05] <gaelfx> amh345: do you know what kind of card it is? I mean, I realize it's probably an Intel card, but do you know the model number?
[06:06] <bazhang> amh345, 3945?
[06:06] <amh345> gaelfx: it's in a sony vaio laptop.  i shall find it
[06:06] <grendal_prime> god i hate facebook
[06:06] <grendal_prime> what a frigging timesponge that stupid thing is.
[06:06] <bazhang> grendal_prime, share in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[06:06] <Madpilot> grendal_prime, random chat over on #ubuntu-offtopic, thanks
[06:06] <gaelfx> amh345: you also might want to try install the backports compat wireless package, but if you can find a simpler way to fix it, that's probably best
[06:07] <grendal_prime> ya so anyway...
[06:07] <amh345> gaelfx: the card is PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kendron] Network Connection
[06:07] <adante> hi, is there an easy way to test permissions on a given file for a given account?
[06:07] <bazhang> amh345, try the linux backports modules as suggested
[06:08] <craig> thanks gunna try a few things out
[06:08] <gaelfx> amh345: check this out: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Ubuntu/2008-06/msg01632.html
[06:08] <amh345> bazhang: sudo apt-get install backports?
[06:08] <amh345> gaelfx: jeez. i searched so long and couldnt find my card.. nice link!! i shall read it.
[06:08] <bazhang> amh345, no, you'll need to enable the backports repos, update sources list then search for the ones related to wireless
[06:09] <gaelfx> amh345: it might be easier if you use synaptic package manager and search backports wireless
[06:09] <amh345> ok, i did install ubuntu-desktop just so i could poke around quicer.
[06:09] <gaelfx> amh345: it should be something like backports-compat-wireless-maverick-generic
[06:09] <amh345> im going to try this out. ill report back *finger crossed*
[06:11] <gaelfx> amh345: good luck
[06:11] <gaelfx> I'm off, like a prom dress
[06:11] <rww> :\
[06:12] <joeoshawa> btw thanks it worked i set subtitles off by default in smplayer  and there off that problem is a movie player problem
[06:12] <joeoshawa> i guess factory settings have subtitles on in most of the players
[06:14] <blahsphemer> Hi
[06:14] <blahsphemer> I'd like to discuss a gsoc project idea for this time
[06:14] <bazhang> blahsphemer, thats out of the scope of this channel
[06:15] <jgcampbell300> hello, I have been reading up on ubuntu firewalls and from what i have seen Iptables seems to be the best ... I was wondering if you guys think it is and if there is a gui for iptables that will work well with iptables ?
[06:15] <Gartral> HELP I blasted gnome and now i can't connect too wifi too recover, need terminal wifi commands.. I can get the card up but it won't associate with my ap..
[06:15] <joeoshawa> is there a ubuntu project channel?
[06:15] <joeoshawa> good idea
[06:15] <bazhang> !wifi | Gartral
[06:16] <bazhang> jgcampbell300, try gufw
[06:17] <wolter> I have a /user folder on my root but I don't know to which application does it belong, is there a way of knowing?
[06:17] <joeoshawa> jgcampbell300,  there are distros made for that actually all you gotta do is follow the prompts
[06:17] <joeoshawa> might be what your looking for
[06:18] <Rhysk> Hey, don't suppose anyone could help me with two quick (well, one quick and one kinda lengthy) questions?
[06:18] <eoss> so yea, if this codec is microsoft proprietary or whatever..theres no way for me to view it eh?
[06:18] <jgcampbell300> ok thanks for the information
[06:18] <bazhang> Rhysk, Ask and see
[06:18] <bazhang> eoss, which codec
[06:19] <joeoshawa> wolter, what is in the folder
[06:19] <eoss> MSS2
[06:19] <bazhang> eoss, whats the file
[06:19] <wolter> joeoshawa, two folders: 'extensions' and 'uno_packages'
[06:19] <eoss> i search the error on google and it says that in ubuntu forums. its some wmv file
[06:19] <eoss> i have dled all the codecs i hear audio
[06:19] <eoss> in mplayer
[06:19] <eoss> and get MSS2 error in vlc
[06:19] <bazhang> eoss, got win32codecs from medibuntu.org installed?
[06:20] <eoss> yep
[06:20] <eoss> and 64 for me
[06:20] <bazhang> eoss, well some wmv are unplayable

[06:20] <joeoshawa> wolter, open office by the looks of it
[06:20] <thrillERboy> If I accidentally deleted files using Shift+del, Is there a way to recover it?
[06:20] <Rhysk> Alright, well, I set up and ubuntu server on my other computer, booted it up with openssh, which works wonderfully while connecting over local IP's. However, i can't connect to it using my external IP (while still connected to the same lan). Do i have to be NOT on the same lan in order to use my external IP to ssh into the server, or did i mess something up in port forwarding?
[06:21] <wolter> joeoshawa, well i think they'd be better off as deleted files then
[06:21]  * eoss rages very hard
[06:21] <joeoshawa> not sure i just googled uno_packages and open office came up
[06:21] <blahsphemer> bazhang, where can I talk about it?
[06:21]  * wolter is scared
[06:21] <harisund> Rhysk: technically no .. do you have a router where you have setup port forwarding?
[06:21] <xingrong> ?????
[06:21] <joeoshawa> all the top results
[06:22] <bazhang> blahsphemer, ##linux ? #ubuntu-offtopic perhaps
[06:22] <wolter> joeoshawa, yeah i spied some of the files inside and it said something about ooo but i didn't think it was ooo because of the weird location of the files
[06:22] <wolter> joeoshawa, i have libreoffice now anyway :)
[06:22] <bazhang> !cn | xingrong
[06:22] <Rhysk> harisund: Yes, and I did (correctly....i think).
[06:22] <blahsphemer> bazhang, k
[06:22] <Rhysk> harisund: set it up to port 22, TCP, and pointed it at my server using local ip
[06:23] <harisund> Rhysk: The only thing I can probably imagine is port 22 is blocked by your ISP
[06:23] <harisund> Do you have access to a Linux machine outside your LAN? You could try SSHing into that, then SSHing back to your server to see if port forwarding and everything is setup properly
[06:23] <Madpilot> blahsphemer, if you've got an Ubuntu-specific GSoC idea, #ubuntu-devel to ask further, perhaps.
[06:23] <Rhysk> harisund: that would be massive shinanigans.......im on WoW
[06:23] <joeoshawa> :) cool glad i could help
[06:24] <harisund> Rhysk: WoW?
[06:24] <blahsphemer> Madpilot, k
[06:24] <harisund> Rhysk: That's just one thing I am able to think of though ...
[06:25] <ngk__> whai?
[06:25] <Rhysk> harisund: wide open west, my isp. And i can ssh as far as a password appears on a friends server, but can't use it to check cause dont know his pass
[06:25] <Rhysk> harisund: when i try connecting to mine using external ip, it just thinks forever
[06:25] <Blue1> Rhysk: easy way to tell is port 22 is open is:  telnet localhost 22
[06:25] <harisund> Blue1: he already has that working
[06:26] <harisund> Rhysk: That's what, I am guessing the connection comes to your router and then gets stuck. Is your router a DD-wrt? Can you SSH into the router itself?
[06:26] <Blue1> harisund: eggsalad!
[06:26]  * yeertai jumps
[06:26] <Rhysk> harisund: telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[06:26] <FutureK> Can not registry in skype. It gives "invalid password". What  to  do?
[06:27] <harisund> Rhysk: That is because I am guessing you don't have SSH server installed on your client and if you are on your client and say "localhost" you are referring to your client. Try "telnet LAN_server_IP 22" it will connect to port 22 on the computer you have setup the SSH server
[06:27] <Rhysk> harisund: I wont pretend to be a pro, not sure what DD-wrt is
[06:28] <Rhysk> harisund: if I connect locally to my server and run the last command again, will it give me a correct output?
[06:28] <harisund> Rhysk: Yes it should
[06:29] <Rhysk> harisund: Trying ::1...
[06:29] <Rhysk> Connected to localhost.

[06:30] <thrillERboy> If I accidentally deleted files using Shift+del, Is there a way to recover it? Is there any softwares for it?
[06:30] <harisund> Rhysk: yeah don't paste it here. Just know that it works
[06:30] <Rhysk> lol, alright
[06:30] <amh345> bazhang: i installed backports-compat-wireless-maverick-generic but im not having any different luck.  i still connect to the wireless.. but i get no pages
[06:30] <Rhysk> ok, so ill reserve trying to figure out what is going on until i can try from outside my lan
[06:30] <SpinachHead> I followed the DVD lib requiredments and added the command to play encrypted DVD's in the docs online, but my Netflix DVD still throws errors in the movie player
[06:31] <harisund> Rhysk: I am pretty convinced it has something to do with the port forwarding
[06:31] <ejv> Rhysk: all routers run a operating system of sorts, typically called "firmware", dd-wrt is an open-source firmware supporting several various hardware networking vendors, netgear, linksys, buffalo, etc.
[06:31] <Rhysk> harisund: Well,i have a Trendnet, which is total crap, so I might have done something wrong.
[06:31] <harisund> Rhysk: Do you know if your IP is a publicly accessible IP?
[06:32] <harisund> Rhysk: Trendnet is good enough for port forwarding, I can tell you that much!
[06:32] <g_0_0> Rhysk, you could try an open proxy
[06:32] <yeertai> whoami
[06:32] <Rhysk> ejv: ah, thanks, i have heard about that
[06:32] <Rhysk> harisund: i wouldn't know how to check if it is publically accessible
[06:32] <g_0_0> Rhysk, or change the port for ssh if you isp is blocking 22
[06:32] <harisund> Rhysk: Here's one way to check
[06:32] <jaysern> does anyone here have any trouble upgrading sun-java on lucid lynx ?
[06:33] <harisund> Rhysk: First, look on your TrendNet router to see what public IP it has acquired from your ISP
[06:33] <harisund> Rhysk: Then go to somewhere like http://whatismyip.com and see if they match.
[06:33] <Rhysk> harisund: How...do i do that first part (excuse my noobishness)
[06:34] <harisund> Rhysk: On your TrendNet router, there should be some kind of a "Information" page which basically just shows the details your router has acquired. I am guessing your router is connected directly to a cable modem right?
[06:34] <Rhysk> just as a note, I switched to linux and started a server so I could learn about this networking stuff, so go easy :/
[06:34] <harisund> Rhysk: that's ok :)
[06:34] <Rhysk> harisund:yep
[06:35] <Rhysk> harisund: when you say on, do you mean like physically on it, or on the configuation page?
[06:35] <harisund> Rhysk: You setup port forwarding right? For that you must have logged into the router, correct? Something like http://<IP_ADDRESS> or http://<IP_ADDRESS> or some such router IP address? (typically ending in 1) ?
[06:36] <lickalott> hey guys...dumb question but i have to ask....
[06:36] <Rhysk> harisund: yes, ok, you kept saying on, and i wasn't sure if you mean on the configuration page, on like ON it
[06:36] <joeoshawa> Rhysk, he means on the config page in your browser
[06:36] <lickalott> would running Desktop 10.10 vs Server 10.10 in any way prevent me from tunneling ipv6 properly
[06:37] <joeoshawa> not to step on any toes
[06:38] <SpinachHead> doesn't anyone play DVD's?
[06:38] <ejv> pardon SpinachHead ?
[06:38] <bazhang> SpinachHead, some do, what's the issue?
[06:38] <Rhysk> harisund: ok, device info, ip is the same as the one on whatismyip.com
[06:39] <bazhang> SpinachHead, get libdvdcss2 from medibuntu.org
[06:39] <SpinachHead> I followed all the library requirements and the encyprtion command but still doesn't work
[06:39] <harisund> Rhysk: That's good  :) So let's see
[06:39] <SpinachHead> okay
[06:39] <ejv> SpinachHead: you'll have to be FAR more specific, what commands, what software are you trying to use, what disc are you attempting to play, what version of OS and software, etc. be thorough.
[06:40] <Rhysk> harisund: lets see?
[06:40] <harisund> Rhysk: I am just thinking what you can do ..
[06:41] <Rhysk> harisund: oh, ok
[06:41] <ejv> and don't direct it at me, per se, im afk now ;)
[06:41] <ejv> (good luck)
[06:42] <pyro358379> anyone know how to remove join/leave channel messages in irssi?
[06:42] <bazhang> !quietirssi | pyro358379
[06:43] <pyro358379> thanks, i think it worked
[06:43] <ejv> pyro358379: or you can add it manually into your .config under ~/.irssi: http://dpaste.com/447170/
[06:44] <ejv> pardon me: s/.config/config/g
[06:44] <rww> ejv: adding stuff manually to irssi's config file is a good way to get #irssi to facepalm.
[06:45] <ejv> not if you're a pro, like moi
[06:46] <ejv> and I almost knew someone was going to say something about that
[06:46] <ejv> someone couldn't resist ;)
[06:47] <harisund> Rhysk: Don't paste here, but can you try running "tracepath <your external IP address>" on your server and see if you can interpret the results?
[06:47] <ejv> isn't it traceroute
[06:47] <[biabia]> with ubuntu server, can it also be used in graphical mode?
[06:47] <ejv> or am i getting old ...
[06:47] <ejv> [biabia]: yes, you'll have to fetch gnome desktop though
[06:48] <harisund> ejv: I typed "trace" followed by the tab key, and my Ubuntu shows me "tracepath, tracepath6, traceroute6 , traceroute6.iputils"
[06:48] <Rhysk> harisund: alright, ill give that a shot
[06:48] <ejv> [biabia]: or a desktop environment of your choosing, doesn't *have* to be gnome
[06:48] <[biabia]> ejv how complicated is that to do
[06:48] <harisund> ejv: I know on windows it is tracert
[06:48] <joeoshawa> bed time later thanks for the help
[06:48] <ejv> [biabia]: complicated? ehhh apt-get install <package>; wait... get some coffee.... profit
[06:48] <joeoshawa> night
[06:49] <[biabia]> ejv, so one package installs gnome desktop?  or perhaps kde
[06:49] <harisund> [biabia]: no, but one right command pulls in all the necessary packages :)
[06:49] <disappearedng> hey playing mp4 has no colors I want to reinstall the codec what package should I reinstall?
[06:49] <ejv> [biabia]: my understanding that gnome-desktop or err 'ubuntu-desktop' is a metapackage that will draw in everything required
[06:49] <ejv> s/that/is that/
[06:50] <ejv> just try it already ;)
[06:50] <harisund> ejv: Does that regex replace only the first 'that' or every 'that' in the sentence?
[06:50] <Rhysk> harisund: hmm, what does a whole bunch of asterisks mean?
[06:50] <yyx> ?
[06:50] <harisund> Rhysk: Can you paste the output in pastebin and type the link here?
[06:51] <ejv> [biabia]: i'll save you the security 'spiel' about running X/gdm on a server, and assume you know why i'm bringing that up
[06:51] <harisund> Rhysk: basically you go to http://pastebin.com/ and paste the output and submit it, it gives you a URL that you can paste here (in case you have not used pastebin before)
[06:51] <yyx> hello
[06:51] <yyx> ?
[06:51] <yyx> hello
[06:52] <ejv> HI
[06:52] <[biabia]> ejv the reason servers typically omit the desktop for the same reason
[06:52] <folklore> why would the terminal not always show printf stuff? code I compiled is clearly running fine short of that
[06:52] <ejv> [biabia]: just making sure ;)
[06:52] <folklore> as I can see in netstat
[06:52] <Rhysk> harisund: http://paste.ubuntu.com/572068/
[06:52] <yyx> hello
[06:52] <ejv> harisund: all of them, although i didn't realize there were two occurances heheh
[06:52] <harisund> ejv: ok ! In Vi I think that replaces only the frist occurence, I think you need a /g or something to replace all occurences, hence my curiosity
[06:53] <yyx> yyyyyyy
[06:53] <folklore> anyway to run an app short of ./blah
[06:53] <folklore> wat would effect printf
[06:53] <folklore> the output of it
[06:54] <harisund> Rhysk: First, before you paste like that, cover your IP address! And second, I am able to connect to the IP address and reach the password prompt, so I think you have everything setup correctly and are just unable to access it yourself from inside :)
[06:55] <[biabia]> harisund does the right command differ a lot, for installing kde(preferred) instead of gnome?
[06:55] <harisund> [biabia]: Yes it very much does !
[06:55] <ejv> harisund: i believe sed tokenizes occurances, so you can call them numerically, example `sed '1,/RE/s/that/is that/' <target>`
[06:55] <ejv> orr err counting may start at 0, damn comp sci nerds ;)
[06:55] <harisund> ejv: hm ok .. I am still learning regexes and I keep getting mixed up between RegExes used by Vi, find, sed etc etc
[06:56] <ejv> harisund: me too, it's a lifelong project heheh
[06:56] <Rhysk> harisund: yes, i suppose you are right, and ok, cool! Any idea why i got asterisks on the traceroute?
[06:56] <folklore> ugh I guess ill just make it write to a file then
[06:56] <harisund> Rhysk: That I am not sure. I am guessing some problem with the way (or maybe the router is designed that way) the router handles loopback
[06:57] <harisund> Rhysk: If you have a smart phone, you could try using your data plan on it to SSH into your server :) That will have a different IP !
[06:57] <ejv> harisund: if you can master the basics like awk, xargs, sed, etc, you can do almost anything ;)
[06:57] <harisund> ejv: Yeah definitely .. and by etc you mean "others" and not a command named etc right?
[06:57] <Rhysk> harisund: i have an iphone 3g, on the 4g OS, it can barely run the facebook app....
[06:57] <ejv> harisund: you are correct
[06:58] <Rhysk> harisund: anyway, that is unrelated
[06:58] <harisund> Rhysk: hmm ok, I have a Symbian phone and I have Putty (SSH client) installed, and I often SSH into my server from my phone, so I suggested that. And ejv : ok :D I thought etc was some cool shell command I was unaware of
[07:04] <Rhysk> Alright, second question involves a bit of a preamble. Basically, I set up my ubuntu server so i could directly learn more about bash, networking, ect., from use of it. But, of course, I need something to do on the server in order to learn anything. The friend that helped me set up the server suggested trying to make a script like he did in order learn something about bash scripting. Basically, the script (tbh, not sure if that is the corre
[07:04] <Rhysk> ct words, or from hear on out if they wil be the correct words) periodically checks a torrent site for new updates of a show he watches, then downloads  the new torrent if there is one, and streams that movie/episode/whatever to his xbox. Now, i'm not necessarily asking for help on how to do it, I am asking on how to start teaching myself how to do it. I haven't the foggiest idea where to start looking for tuturials or what to even look for
[07:04] <Rhysk>  tutorials on other than a super-generic 'bash scripting tuturial'. If you could point me in the right direction, that would be much apprceciated :D
[07:04] <FloodBot1> Rhysk: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:04] <Rhysk> oops, flood on accident
[07:05] <KB1JWQ> Rhysk: Take a project, break it down into small, easily managed tasks.
[07:06] <Rhysk> did the flood control cut off half of that, or did i just get warned about it?
[07:06] <Rhysk> kb1jwq: thats what i want to do, I just don't know how to break it down, or what the chunks would look like
[07:08] <Rhysk> an analogy i could think of would be to tell someone to play quarterback who has never experience football before. the person wouldn't know what to do, nor how to look for what they had to do, or even what they didn't know how to do
[07:09] <Madpilot> Rhysk, Ubuntu Forums might be a better match for really complex queries. Else break your problem down to one-liner chunks...
[07:10] <Rhysk> madpilot: alright, thanks for the advice, ill head over there
[07:10] <Rhysk> y'all rock, btw
[07:11] <Madpilot> Rhysk, but picking thru your wall-o-text, you're basically looking for bash scripting tutorials?
[07:11] <Madpilot> gah, missed him.
[07:13] <euthymos> hi guys I was wondering what's the actual 'part' of Microsoft Windows that's running when Wubi is executed
[07:13] <euthymos> Does the windows kernel ever gets loaded? Does any closed source software run before/during/after Wubi runs?
[07:15] <Zopiac> Does anyone here use the Feel of Japan icon pack? The download is down and I'm wondering if someone could upload theirs somewhere...
[07:21] <euthymos> what do Ubuntu and Windows actually share when Ubuntu is installed w/ Wubi?
[07:22] <sacarlson> euthymos: I'm not sure about the boot loader but I would think after it's booted it's only running ubuntu inside a loop like drive mount of the simulated partition within the partition of windows
[07:23] <rww> the bootloader is Windows's chainloading to GRUB4DOS, I believe. sacarlson is correct about the partition being loopback.
[07:23] <euthymos> so there's a small piece of code that just mounts the Windows main NTFS partition, and then opens the Ubuntu disk image making it available to a Linux kernel as a root filesystem=
[07:24] <euthymos> ?
[07:24] <rww> euthymos: pretty much.
[07:24] <MACscr> anyone recommend a nice rss reader that syncs with google reader?
[07:25] <euthymos> uhm... So no M$ kernel running.  :D
[07:25] <waho123125> u can make a simple RSS reader with PHP and AJAX
[07:26] <MACscr> waho123125: not as simple when your wanting it to update google reader that its been read, etc
[07:26] <euthymos> because I actually did not understand the details
[07:26] <MACscr> or am i looking for something web based
[07:26] <MACscr> er, nor
[07:26] <Docfxit> Does anyone know how to make a usb thumb drive boot ubuntu?
[07:27] <waho123125> im not exactly sure what u want. I just suggested something basic
[07:27] <sangbiru> hello
[07:27] <paulmillar> Hey All, I've been assigned the task of reducing the root lvm volume of ubuntu (on the server I have) from 1.75TB to 1TB... Am I correct in that to do this I need to restart the server and boot from the alternate install CD?
[07:27] <MACscr> Docfxit: bios has to support it, but you ubuntu has an app for creating a usb boot drive
[07:27] <paulmillar> And if so - does anyone know of any resources that could direct me further from there?
[07:28] <Docfxit> Macscr, I tried that app.  It gives me an error when I boot.
[07:28] <MACscr> Docfxit: and what error is that?
[07:29] <MACscr> Docfxit: i used the tool last week to create myself one
[07:29] <amh345> so i just had my wireless functioning.  i rebooted and now it isnt functioning again.  by functioning i mean viewing webpages. i can connect to the network.  what was the command again to bring wlan0 up agaib?
[07:29] <Docfxit> macscr, Give me a min and I'll bring it up again.
[07:30] <SpinachHead> after adding a repo what is the apt command to activate it?
[07:30] <Rusty149> spinachhead sudo apt-get update
[07:31] <SpinachHead> ah, yes, thanks
[07:31] <Docfxit> macscr, menu.c32: not a com32r image
[07:31] <Docfxit> macscr, The next line says Boot:
[07:32] <Docfxit> Macscr,  The two lines keep repeating.
[07:32] <twiztid> hey all, i am trying to point wine to a mapped network cdrom, so far i got drive to open in ubuntu but am unable to show wine where to look for it... any suggestions?
[07:32] <amh345> yeah, i have to run sudo ifconfig wlan0 down;sudo ifconfig wlan0 up; sudo dhclient   everytime i boot my machine
[07:33] <MACscr> wth, this chart doesnt even make sense. How can ubuntu be more popular than linux of ubuntu us just a linux distro? http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/08/ubuntu-probably-first-ever-linux-distro.html
[07:33] <Jordan_U> !ot | MACscr
[07:34] <rww> MACscr: because people search for "Ubuntu" more than they search for "Linux"?
[07:34] <rww> MACscr: it's just a search term chart, not a usage chart.
[07:34] <MACscr> rww: yeah, i guess i should have looked closer at the article
[07:34] <MACscr> was worded a bit weird
[07:35] <arch_nme> hi, I'm trying to get my motorola zn300 phone to detect so I can copy phtotos from it
[07:35] <arch_nme> any suggestions?
[07:36] <SpinachHead> hmmm, ubuntu 10.10 installed libdvdcss2 all the other libs in the docs and the encryption command and still can't play a netflix dvd
[07:36] <arch_nme> it's plugged in to my computer via USB
[07:36] <Jordan_U> SpinachHead: Are you getting IO errors in dmesg? What happens when you try to play the DVD?
[07:37] <SpinachHead> movie player pops a dialogue  An Error Occurred, could not read from resource
[07:37] <Rusty149> arch_nme: check in /media
[07:37] <SpinachHead> vlc didn't work either
[07:38] <twiztid> how do i go about pointing wine to a mounted network shared cdrom??? trying to install a game on a laptop with a busted cdrom :-!
[07:38] <Jordan_U> SpinachHead: Can you pastebin the output of "dmesg | tail" after getting such an error?
[07:38] <arch_nme> Rusty149, no just my CD drive is there
[07:38] <Rusty149> spinichhead Install libdbdread4
[07:39] <Rusty149> spinichhead sorry libdvdread4
[07:39] <SpinachHead> I have libdread4, the dmesg says something about regional code not matching.  I will paste it in a sec
[07:39] <arch_nme> twiztid, go into wine configuration and select the drives tab, you should be able to set it up from there
[07:40] <SpinachHead> http://paste.ubuntu.com/572077/
[07:40] <Rusty149> arch_nne: first check the  lsusb  output for the device
[07:41] <Jordan_U> SpinachHead: Have you ever assigned a region to this drive?
[07:41] <Rusty149> arch_nme: assuming you have unplugged and replugged
[07:41] <arch_nme> Rusty149, I see it in there as "Bus 001 Device 007: ID 22b8:41b6 Motorola PCS"
[07:42] <SpinachHead> I don't know how to do that
[07:42] <arch_nme> Rusty149, yeah tried that
[07:42] <twiztid> arch_nme: that exactly where i am, i dont show up on the desktop (even though its clearly there) nor does it show in /media or /home   so im stumped... i found it in the .gvfs folder where samba mounts such shares, but because .gvfs is hidden, wine ignors it.... ugh, thx for your reply tho
[07:42] <Jordan_U> SpinachHead: Have you ever played any commercial DVDs with this hard drive before (in any OS)?
[07:42] <Jordan_U> SpinachHead: *DVD drive
[07:43] <Rusty149> twiztid there is a show dot files option
[07:43] <SpinachHead> no, because it is a laptop and haven't used it for dvd's before
[07:43] <SpinachHead> I know the netflix dvd I last used was in windows and it worked, but I prefer to use my ubuntu laptop
[07:44] <Rusty149> arch_nme: reconnect drive then run dmesg should tell you which decice it has been assigned
[07:44] <twiztid> rusty149: i ticked it, do i need to start the whole playonlinux process over again?
[07:45] <SpinachHead> eh, maybe I will give up... on this one and go to my tv
[07:45] <Rusty149> twiztid you should then be able to select it from wine config
[07:45] <arch_nme> Rusty149, that lsusb command jsut told me it was device 7 or are you talking about something different?
[07:45] <twiztid> hurm... ima funk with it for a sec, ill get back to ya
[07:45] <trevor> is there a way to slow down mouse wheel scrolling in 10.10, the mouse preferences doesnt have the option for a scroll wheel
[07:45] <MACscr> anyone running the newest gnome shell on their 10.10 system? im thinking about trying it out
[07:47] <Fidde> Hi @Nijabo
[07:47] <[biabia]> whats the difference between ubuntu one and ec2 and uec
[07:47] <arch_nme> argh
[07:47] <Nijabo> Hi Fidde
[07:48] <arch_nme> I got this stuff from dmesg and I can see the ouput from me plugging it in and out but I don't know what to do with it
[07:48] <Rusty149> arch_nme: yeah look for /dev/sdb, sdc etc
[07:49] <arch_nme> can I paste 4lines of output in here?
[07:49] <twiztid> rusty149: even though 'show dot files' is ticked and i pressed apply, i still cant see them...
[07:49] <Rusty149> use paste.ubuntu.com
[07:50] <Rusty149> twiztid: so you browse to /home/you/.gvfs/share?
[07:50] <arch_nme> Rusty149, here is my dmesg output http://paste.ubuntu.com/572079/
[07:51] <twiztid> rusty149: correct, except... .gvfs and other .files dont show up
[07:52] <arch_nme> so now it's device 8, it seems to be increasing the device number every time I unplug and replug
[07:53] <malasorte> hello
[07:53] <arch_nme> hi
[07:53] <Rusty149> arch_nme: ok the device is /dev/sdb.so run sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/FolderNameHere ,  or look for it in sudo mount -l
[07:54] <Rusty149> twiztid: after selecting did you click apply and reopen config window?
[07:56] <twiztid> rusty149: yes i pressed apply, but to close the config window continues playonlinuxs steps to install... should i proceed and add the drive after it all? i thought id need it added before install...
[07:56] <ngk__> 哦
[07:58] <Rusty149> twiztid : didnt know you were in playonlinux. try the preferences before going through installing the game. or just mount the share in the prefix folser
[07:59] <Bekti> Oh<tahnks
[07:59] <Rusty149> Sorry about the typos guys im on my Nexus One :-)
[08:00] <Bekti> Sorry,I'm Live In Indonesia
[08:00] <arch_nme> Rusty149, Yeah, i have failed, not sure how to proceed  http://paste.ubuntu.com/572080/
[08:01] <twiztid> rusty149: ya sry... ok, well ill give these new options a go, thx for the help! ill report any successes and failures lol
[08:02] <ratomic> hi
[08:03] <StarZtorm> hi
[08:03] <ratomic> I'm newbie for ubuntu
[08:03] <StarZtorm> same here
[08:04] <twiztid> love ubuntu!!! lol
[08:04] <ratomic> yeah.. i like it
[08:04] <Rusty149> arch_nme: mkdir /media/phone && sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/phone
[08:04] <StarZtorm> Yes, Ubuntu has left me kinda starstruck.
[08:06] <twiztid> rusty149: well i went ahead and clicked show dot files, apply and closed the config... then the next step is playonlinux asking for the install file and i was able to navigate to .gvfs and start the installation... so now, as it seems, the installation completed without the drive being mapped in winecfg... going to check the winecfg again and see if i can see dot files
[08:06] <arch_nme> Rusty149, I got that "mount: /dev/sdb: unknown device" error again
[08:07] <arch_nme> successfully made the dir though
[08:08] <StarZtorm> Gnome is the GUI for Ubuntu desktop right? and Unity is the GUI for the netbook remix?

[08:15] <ashish> hi, how do I parse configuration files.
[08:15] <llutz_> jgcampbell300: gigabit needs special crossover-cables
[08:15] <dimmortal> does ps3 have gigbit?? I didn't know that they did
[08:15] <llutz_> jgcampbell300: all 4 pairs have to be crossed, 100mbit only uses 2 pairs
[08:16] <twiztid> starztorm: yes and no, unity is set to replace gnome by using mutter in natty narwhal (ubuntu11) but there is alot of discussion about gnome3's development as well as making unity compatible with compiz... so far theres a backport of unity/compiz for ubuntu 10.04LTS and 11Alpha, but they've decided to not support unity/compiz in 10.10 for various reasons....
[08:16] <llutz_> and off course, both sides have to be gigabit-capable (no idea about ps3 and those toys)
[08:16] <jgcampbell300> llutz, oh i see so the tipolagy is wrong for reaching giga ... that makes since thanks
[08:19] <jgcampbell300> yep sure enough .. wrong cable ... man i wish i had my tools with me ... thanks for solving this for me llutz

[08:40] <aleiex> and which software to do it'
[08:40] <ikonia> aleiex: ask the guys in ##suse
[08:40] <aleiex> im usin ubuntu 10.04
[08:41] <paulmillar> hi guys - im trying to reduce the size of an LVM, however when I try and fsck the resouce it says it's busy... So I tried unmounting the disk but it says invalid argument... Anyone able to help?
[08:41] <paulmillar> Imabout to cry :(
[08:41] <ikonia> aleiex: yes, but making a live CD out of their OS and if it's possible is a question they need to answer
[08:41] <ikonia> aleiex: sorry the channel is #opensuse
[08:42] <boombah> join #e17
[08:45] <ubuntu__> test
[08:45] <boombah> Anyone here know how to get wireless running under e17?
[08:45] <boombah> ubuntu__, I see your message
[08:46] <ubuntu__> bonjour les amis !! ;-)
[08:46] <ikonia> boombah: you'll have to do it through the network interfaces file as I'm not sure E17 has a network manager application that supports wireless
[08:46] <llutz_> boombah: using wpa_supplicant/iwconfig/ifconfig or try wicd
[08:46] <boombah> bonjour, ubuntu__. Or rather, bonsoir ici :)
[08:46] <Kentrel> How do I monitor crashes? I'm getting a random crash every few days, and need to figure out what might have caused it
[08:46] <boombah> Thanks ikonia and llutz_
[08:47] <boombah> I'm pretty familiar with iwconfig, but for some reason when I try to set encoding using it, it tells me it's an invalid argument
[08:47] <boombah> I try: iwconfig essid "myessid" key s:mykeystring
[08:47] <boombah> and it says that mykeystring is an invalid argument
[08:48] <boombah> I tried quoting it instead of s:, but that doesn't work either.
[08:48] <Vustom> Is there any Linux driver for my Microsoft LifeCam VX-3000 webcam?
[08:48] <ikonia> !webcam | Vustom
[08:48] <ikonia> Vustom: see if it's in that list, if it's not it doesn't mean it won't work, it's just a good place to start
[08:49] <boombah> llutz_, my network is WPA I'm pretty sure - is there something I need to do with wpa supplicant to make it work out?
[08:50] <Vustom> Im stuck on installing this.. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EasyCam
[08:50] <llutz_> boombah: boombah you'll have to setup a wpa_supplicant.conf with your network configured
[08:50] <Vustom> How to add a rep?
[08:50] <Vustom> repsoitorie*
[08:50] <llutz_> boombah: man 5 wpa_supplicant.conf
[08:50] <boombah> llutz_: thank you. I'll read up.
[08:51] <boombah> I'm going to drop out of the channel so I can test some stuff out.  Thanks again both ikonia and llutz_
[08:51] <llutz_> boombah: have a look into wicd, it also has a cli version and is called to make those things easier
[08:52] <boombah> llutz_, I'll do that. Thanks!
[08:52] <Gwar_Trolle> if I may ask, what's a good program to use to tag and organise images?
[08:53] <riscky> gimp! :)
[08:53]  * riscky laffs
[08:53] <llutz_> gimp is for sure the wrong tool for that
[08:53] <Gwar_Trolle> riscky: Not edit them, but to organise and tag them, so I can find (say) images of Melons quickly :P
[08:53] <alisalaah> Gwar_Trolle, spotwell?
[08:53] <riscky> gwar i knew i know
[08:54] <alisalaah> (i have nfi tbh)
[08:54] <llutz_> Gwar_Trolle: f-spot?
[08:54] <Gwar_Trolle> alisalaah: Thats the one. I couldn't remember the names :D
[08:54] <Gwar_Trolle> Thanks, I'll try them both
[08:54] <gnewb> Qwar_Trollie: What desktop?
[08:54] <alisalaah> llutz, g-spot?
[08:54] <Gwar_Trolle> Gnome
[08:54] <gnewb> g-spot is good
[08:54] <llutz_> Gwar_Trolle: google .... how was its name... picasa
[08:54] <Gwar_Trolle> WTB g-spot for gnome :P
[08:54] <Gwar_Trolle> google are too evil now
[08:55] <llutz_> s/now//
[08:55] <alisalaah> Google: Don't be evil.
[08:55] <gnewb> DMOZ
[08:55] <riscky> hrm
[08:56] <StarZtorm> Is there a command for executing files in the Terminal?
[08:56] <riscky> does anyone know of a way to disable that gawd awful unity desktop in 10.10?
[08:56] <riscky> StarZtorm, ./
[08:56] <llutz_> StarZtorm: /path/to/file <enter>
[08:56] <StarZtorm> oh
[08:57] <alisalaah> sudo /alisalaahs/file/he/gave/you/that/you/should/trust/for/no/reason.sh
[08:57] <alisalaah> usually a good choice :D
[08:57] <StarZtorm> hihihihi
[08:57] <llutz_> sudo without need never is a good choice
[08:57] <alisalaah> was sarcasm..
[08:58]  * riscky humps llutz
[08:58] <llutz_> alisalaah: wrong place here for that, too many guy blindly foloowing
[08:58] <alisalaah> sorry
[08:58] <riscky> ahh
[08:58] <riscky> dont be
[08:58] <twiztid> hey all, im still a little stumped as to how i could add a drive in wine that is a cdrom shared over the network... i have hidden files showing, and the show dot files option ticked but wine doesnt see the shared folder... any suggestions???
[08:58] <riscky> llutz is humorless
[08:58] <ikonia> riscky: stop it now
[08:59] <llutz_> riscky: i am (in some points)
[08:59] <riscky> ikonia, wha?
[08:59] <riscky>  /path/to/file
[09:00] <riscky> llutz, may i borrow you puter fer a minute?
[09:01] <StarZtorm> does it have to be the whole path, from / ?
[09:01] <llutz_> StarZtorm: no
[09:01] <riscky> StarZtorm, no
[09:01] <riscky> starcoder, ./filename
[09:01] <alisalaah> StarZtorm, if you are currently in your home folder and the file is there then you can just type the file name
[09:02] <barney> hello :)
[09:02] <StarZtorm> ok ok:)
[09:02] <llutz_> alisalaah: you can't, "." is hopefully not part of PATH
[09:02] <barney> someone whant a bnc -_-
[09:02] <barney> argh
[09:02] <ikonia> barney: pardon ?
[09:03] <barney> i asked i somone whant a bnc
[09:03] <barney> ^^
[09:03] <ikonia> barney: what'a a bnc ?
[09:03] <barney> bouncer
[09:03] <barney> o_O
[09:03] <llutz_> rj45 to be preferred
[09:03] <ikonia> barney: are you offering a bouncer, or do you want a bouncer?
[09:04] <alisalaah> barney, i'll eithe rconnect direct to freenode or run my own bnc.. wouldn't want all my irc traffic going through you as a middle man.. especially the part that begins with stuff like /msg Nickserv
[09:04] <riscky> haha
[09:04] <barney> o_O
[09:04] <riscky> alisalaah,  he'll steal yah nick and do what
[09:04] <riscky> idle like you do?
[09:04] <alisalaah> yes
[09:04] <barney> lol
[09:05] <barney> nothing is saved no logs ... lol
[09:05] <llutz_> !ot
[09:05] <ikonia> barney: are you offering a bouncer, or do you want a bouncer ?
[09:05] <lkhatiwada> wired network problem in Karmic
[09:05] <ikonia> barney: ok - you're offering a bouncer, please keep that sort of offer out of #ubuntu, this is for support only
[09:05] <barney> i offer
[09:05] <lkhatiwada> Can anyone suggest ?
[09:05] <barney> but soory i its worng
[09:05] <ikonia> barney: if you want a bouncer there is....ah never mind
[09:05] <ikonia> lkhatiwada: you've not said anything beyond a problem
[09:06] <riscky> i have a problem
[09:06] <llutz_> lkhatiwada: cable checked, plugs checked?
[09:06] <riscky> i want ikonia to answer it only tho
[09:06] <lkhatiwada> wired configuration does not accept
[09:06] <ikonia> riscky: are you going to add any value to support or just make pointless comments ?
[09:06] <ikonia> lkhatiwada: how did you configure it ?
[09:06] <lkhatiwada> cable checked
[09:06] <lkhatiwada> network tools
[09:07] <lkhatiwada> enter IP
[09:07] <ikonia> lkhatiwada: is this a home network or a connection to the internet ?
[09:07] <riscky> ikonia, take it easy its irc not one of your failed relationships
[09:07] <lkhatiwada> once static
[09:07] <lkhatiwada> once dhcp
[09:07] <ikonia> lkhatiwada: are they on the same network ?
[09:07] <Tommi11> Hey
[09:08] <lkhatiwada> internet via lan
[09:08] <lkhatiwada> yes there is lan group
[09:08] <twiztid> i simply would like to configure wines drives to include that of a network shared cdrom... show dot files is ticked however it doesnt show them!
[09:08] <Tommi11> Is their an irc for help with Backtrack? ^.^
[09:08] <llutz_> twiztid: can't you symlink that into the wine-drives-dir?
[09:09] <lkhatiwada> any best link for network troubleshoot ?
[09:09] <twiztid> llutz_: symlink, never heard of that... could you enlighten me please? :-)
[09:10] <lkhatiwada> please refer me a link for network troubleshoot
[09:10] <habermann24> does new_relic also provide error reports in case exceptions are thrown like hoptoad???
[09:10] <llutz_> twiztid: ln -s .point/you/mounted/the/share ~/.wine/dosdevices/p\:
[09:10] <ikonia> lkhatiwada: sorry I was distracted for a moment
[09:10] <habermann24> does anybody know?
[09:11] <ikonia> lkhatiwada: are the two network devices on the same netowrk ?
[09:11] <llutz_> twiztid: dunno if that works, i hardly use wine
[09:11] <lkhatiwada> yes
[09:11] <lkhatiwada> wired and wireless
[09:11] <twiztid> llutz_: wow ill try that and see if it works, damn i need to learn the language...
[09:11] <lkhatiwada> eth0, eth1
[09:11] <llutz_> twiztid: "man ln" to read about links
[09:12] <ikonia> lkhatiwada: ok, that is probably the problem, the routing is confused
[09:12] <StarZtorm> to which directory does the ubuntu software center install downloaded programs?
[09:12] <ikonia> lkhatiwada: having 2 devices on the same network is not a good idea (and to be honest a bit pointless)
[09:12] <twiztid> llutz_: ok will do thx a mil!
[09:12] <ikonia> StarZtorm: the binaries normally go in /usr/bin but the files are distributed around the file system
[09:12] <ikonia> StarZtorm: it's not one place
[09:13] <StarZtorm> ok ok :)
[09:13] <llutz_> StarZtorm: dpkg -L packagename     to find all the files installed by a package
[09:13] <llutz_> nearly all*
[09:14] <StarZtorm> ok thanks :)

[09:18] <magnetron> hi, i'm currently running ubuntu 10.04, home and root are different LVM volumes while /boot is a traditional partition. i was thinking about setting up a new install of 10.10 on a fresh /root as a new LVM volume. where should grub2 be installed?
[09:19] <ikonia> magnetron: still on the MBR
[09:19] <doodie> when I try to install lmms-vestige, it say that it will delete wine 1 and install wine 1.2.2. However, I need wine 1, and vestige too. how?
[09:20] <twiztid> llutz_: do i need to input the "." after the -s option? (ln -s ./) or is it    ln -s /   ?
[09:20] <ikonia> magnetron: there are problems with dual booting linux now thanks to the way grub2's config files are stored in ubuntu
[09:20] <magnetron> ikonia: won't that overwrite my current bootloader?
[09:20] <ikonia> magnetron: yes, it ubuntu's design of grub2 makes dual booting multiple Linux OS's a real pain
[09:20] <llutz_> twiztid: use the full or relative path to the mountpoint, it was just an example
[09:20] <magnetron> ikonia: i was thinking of chaining them
[09:20] <ikonia> magnetron: before you could use a shared /boot with menu.lst that both could access, now with the files in /etc only one can manage
[09:21] <ikonia> magnetron: ahh, if you want to chain tem, stick it on the new root lv you're creating
[09:21] <molocoize> no habla nadie español
[09:21] <twiztid> llutz_: right i just wasnt sure if i need the period or not?
[09:21] <llutz_> grub2-devs smokw strange stuff
[09:21] <llutz_> twiztid: no
[09:22] <magnetron> ikonia: if i chain them, would it be simple to later make this my only boot loader?
[09:22] <twiztid> llutz_: ok thx, sry, im learning... this way seems promising, ill let ya know how it turns out... thx! =)
[09:22] <ikonia> magnetron: in my view, no, you want to keep the one on your MBR as your only boot loader, then chain that one to the one on the LV
[09:22] <magnetron> ikonia: ah, ok
[09:22] <ikonia> magnetron: that's just my opinion though
[09:23] <doodie> when I try to install lmms-vestige, it say that it will delete wine 1 and install wine 1.2.2. However, I need wine 1, and vestige too. Is it possible?
[09:25] <brokenpeace> hello all..is anyone really familiar with grub and grub2 on 9.04 ?
[09:25] <ikonia> brokenpeace: just ask, lets see if anyone knows
[09:27] <twiztid> llutz_: ok after inputting  ln -s /home/kady/.gvfs/pcdrive on xptwiztid /home/kady/.playonlinux/wineprefix/aoe/dosdevices/d:\   and pressing enter, it outputs back a single   >   ...what to do from here or what did i do incorrectly?
[09:28] <llutz_> !esln -s /home/kady/.gvfs/pcdrive on xptwiztid  /home/kady/.playonlinux/wineprefix/aoe/dosdevices/d:\
[09:28] <llutz_> oops sry
[09:28] <brokenpeace> i had grub2 installed and working with burg. but I had some changes I made when I installed another kernel and now I'm stuck with 1.96 grub and I'm sure nothing is removed but rather a bad configuation or something.
[09:28] <llutz_> twiztid: put the first path in quotes
[09:28] <Gwar_Trolle> So, I tried Fspot and SHotwell, but I can't figure out how to tag images D:
[09:29] <Gwar_Trolle> Can you do it with them?
[09:29] <llutz_> twiztid: is this the standard wine-devices-dir? i doubt /home/kady/.playonlinux/wineprefix/aoe/dosdevices
[09:30] <twiztid> llutz_: no this is the prefix... shall i use the standard one? and use quotes?
[09:30] <amarin> hello
[09:30] <amarin> How Can I improve the security of ubuntu
[09:30] <ikonia> amarin: where do you feel it is weak ?
[09:30] <amarin> not much at the moment actually I just wish to improve it, maybe a new firewall
[09:31] <llutz_> twiztid: yes and put the 2nd path into quotes too. make it "~/.wine/dosdevices/p:" or whatever drivletter
[09:31] <ikonia> amarin: what's wrong with the current firewall ?
[09:31] <twiztid> llutz_: ok on it... uno momento
[09:31] <amarin> ikonia: There is no tripwire
[09:31] <amarin> or is there
[09:31] <ikonia> amarin: a firewall has nothing to do with tripwire
[09:31] <amarin> im not aware of one.
[09:31] <llutz_> sudo apt-get install tripwire
[09:31] <amarin> thanks
[09:31] <amarin> love you
[09:32] <habermann24> any idea why i might get:  SQLite3::CantOpenException: unable to open database file ... (passenger install) ... with ruby/script rails c production .. i can do queries...!???
[09:32] <ikonia> amarin: be very aware of what tripwire will do before you install it
[09:32] <amarin> what will it do
[09:32] <ikonia> amarin: I suggest you read up on what it is and what it does/how it works before you install it if you have to ask "what will it do"
[09:32] <llutz_> amarin: if you have to ask that, you won't need it
[09:33] <amarin> lol
[09:33] <amarin> ok
[09:33] <ikonia> amarin: is this machine your home PC ?
[09:33] <amarin> yeah
[09:33] <ikonia> amarin: the odds of you needing or wanting tripwire on your machine are very slim, more so if you don't know what it even does
[09:34] <twiztid> llutz_: ok so after inputting ln -s "/home/kady/.gvfs/pcdrive on xptwiztid" "/home/kady/.wine/dosdevices/d:\"  i get the same  >

[09:36] <znejk> Hi, I have one partition with 10.10 and one with natty. Today when i did an update in natty it updated grub but when i rebooted the only thing I can see from 10.10 is memtest. Is there a way to reprobe the kernels or something with grub or is all lost?
[09:37] <llutz_> znejk: boot from live-cd, chroot into your 10.10, reinstall grub
[09:37] <znejk> only way?
[09:38] <znejk> not reinstall it in natty?
[09:38] <llutz_> znejk: _one_ way, natty support in #ubuntu+1
[09:38] <znejk> :>
[09:38] <znejk> k
[09:39] <brokenpeace> znejk- did you try     sudo update-grub
[09:42] <brokenpeace> i had grub2 installed and working with burg. but I had some changes I made when I installed another kernel and now I'm stuck with 1.96 grub and I'm sure nothing is removed but rather a bad configuation or something.
[09:43] <brokenpeace> anyone got any idea's or should I just uninstall grub2 and reinstall it?
[09:44] <ikonia> brokenpeace: what's burg ?
[09:46] <llutz_> a castle in austria, "Burg Grub"? unlikely
[09:46] <dostokhan> starting bluetooth device on my laptop disables networkmanager. tried restarting networkmanager but didn't work. nm-applet shows "networking disables".
[09:46] <silvery> brokenpeace: 1.96 grub is not officially supported for now... ask someone in #grub.
[09:46] <silvery> *I think
[09:47] <concretevitamin> Is there a terminal emulator supports vim-like browsing style? Default gnome terminal doesn't support this feature.

[09:57] <shomon> also I just told it to open port 80 and I can't reach it even just via the IP from outside.
[09:58] <shomon> how can I check what is actually open on my box? maybe another firewall program is interfering...
[09:58] <iceroot> shomon: nmap hostname
[09:58] <shomon> cheers!

[10:01] <nawk> hi
[10:01] <twiztid> llutz_:  ok well wine can see the drives but the game still asks for a cd, ive tried it alot of ways... gettin stumped but firther than i would have been! thank you for all your help, one more question, how do i erase the symbolic links and start fresh per-say?
[10:02] <mr_daniel> I want to capture from a Webcam, which has a built-in microfon. Ubuntu and other tools recognize the combination of video and audio. I can fine the video in /dev/video0, but I don't know where to find the files for audio in /dev?
[10:02] <ft_mn> hi i cant see my usb devices into the virtualbox the vm is windows xp
[10:02] <shomon> how can I ensure I don't have 2 conflicting firewall programs?
[10:02] <llutz_> twiztid: rm "~/.wine/dosdevices/p:"
[10:02] <nawk> How are the temp internet files, cookies, browsing history, bookmarks stored by Firefox under Linux?
[10:02] <ikonia> nawk: same as windows, just flat files
[10:02] <mr_daniel> For example when I click on the spekaer-symbol in the gnome panel, and go to audio options, and to Input, I can see two microphon inputs:
[10:03] <Phoenix__> looking for some help with vga configuring or graphic driver
[10:03] <nawk> ikonia: where are they stored?
[10:03] <ikonia> nawk: home directory
[10:03] <mr_daniel> 'Internal Audio Analog Stereo' and 'Hercules Dualpix HD Microphon Analog Mono'
[10:03] <llutz_> shomon: sudo iptables -L             check rules and compare with your documentation
[10:03] <twiztid> llutz_: awesome thank you! gunna put a bookmark in this for now, thank you again! and have a good one! B-)
[10:04] <mr_daniel> But I don't know how to select 'Hercules Dualpix HD microphone Analog Mono' in ffmpeg, because I can't find a files in /dev for it
[10:04] <shomon> thanks llutz_ I ran that and it says ports are open, but I can't access from an outside box...
[10:04] <shomon> well port 80 anyway
[10:04] <jhoc2x2> since, I have no reply on my question at kubuntu channel, I guess i'll try my luck here.
[10:04] <shomon> ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp dpt:www
[10:04] <llutz_> shomon: using a router? have portforwarding configured?
[10:04] <jhoc2x2> im using Kubuntu 10.10, after the recent update (I set to autoupdate everything) ... I can't reach log in screen..  ..how so?
[10:04] <shomon> yep
[10:05] <shomon> unless it's reset itself somehow.. I'll check
[10:05] <llutz_> shomon: "traceroute your-site-by-ip" from outside your lan
[10:05] <inainu> any user from indonesia ?
[10:06] <nawk> ikonia, I don't think they're stored as flat files

[10:10] <Phoenix__> yeah it's a fresh install
[10:11] <mr_daniel> DJones: I know, I just made a typo :)
[10:12] <DJones> mr_daniel: No problem, I hadn't seen your earlier questions, apologies for that
[10:12] <davvs> Is there any sleep-like command that takes a timestamp as argument and sleeps until that time until it exits?
[10:13] <llutz_> davvs: at from atd-package
[10:13] <davvs> thanks
[10:13] <llutz_> davvs: but that won't sleep, it executes something at a given time
[10:14] <demalo> does the cpu load percentage scale with the clock speed? or is 10% at 1.20 Ghz same as 10% at 2,67 Ghz?
[10:15] <dimmortal> demalo: I've wondered about that as well
[10:19] <Phoenix__> if I can only boot into GUI 1/5 of the time what would or could that be. (not sure of chat particle and politeness  so I'll be blunt)
[10:19] <shomon> any idea why ufw unenables itself on startup?
[10:20] <llutz_> davvs: or " sleep $(($(date -d "2011-02-27 12:34" '+%s')-$(date '+%s')))  "      :)
[10:21] <armellagrace> I got twirssi working!
[10:23] <Rickardo1> Does a command still running e.g mysqldump if I lost my connection to ssh?
[10:23] <davvs> llutz_: that's just awesome :)
[10:23] <tim167> hello, where is the history of shell kept? (i mean, the text that is printed when typing "history" in bash)
[10:24] <llutz_> tim167: ~/.bash_hostory
[10:24] <llutz_> history *
[10:24] <tim167> llutz_: thanks, I'll look :)
[10:24] <davidcoe> Rickardo1, no.  You can use screen though to keep it running when you log out
[10:25] <zxh> ls
[10:25] <davidcoe> man screen
[10:26] <tim167> where is the chat history kept of 'pidgin' ?
[10:26] <r3dux> That ~/.bash_history thing is awesome - I'm so glad I tuned in 2 minutes ago :) Also, it's Ctrl+R to search your history for things, but I don't know how to step through multiples of the same match...
[10:26] <llutz_> tim167: ~/.purple/somewhere ?
[10:26] <llutz_> r3dux: crtl-r repeatetly
[10:27] <Phoenix__> wheres a good place to look for drivers if I don't have gui, and how can i download within term?
[10:27] <r3dux> Rly? =D Nice! Thanks.
[10:27] <tim167> llutz_: ah ok, seems like that's it, thanks again
[10:28] <r3dux> I'm here 3 minutes and already I'm grinning about new information...
[10:29] <zxh> hi everyone
[10:30] <Phoenix__> hello :)
[10:30] <armellag1ace> hello :)
[10:31] <oscar> hello everyone
[10:31] <oscar>  i have rhythmbox 12.8 and ubuntu Lucid Lynx, i want to update rhythmbox to the newest one, can you help me?
[10:32] <llutz_> !info rhythmbox lucid
[10:32] <llutz_> oscar: you'll need to find a ppa or backports-repo for a new version, or build it yourself
[10:33] <oscar> llutz: where can i search for a ppa?
[10:33] <ponig> ghbdtn
[10:33] <r3dux> The version in the ubuntu repos is 0.13.1 - is there a spectacularly new version (of RhythmBox)
[10:34] <llutz_> oscar: launchpad.net as a start
[10:34] <jon__> hello?
[10:34] <ikonia> hi
[10:34] <r3dux> Hi jon__
[10:35] <oscar> llutz: thanks
[10:37] <jhoc2x2> after upgrading my kernel to the latest update, I restarted, then I have blank screen.. zzzz
[10:39] <r3dux> jhoc2x2, that sounds pretty bad - whatcha gonna do about it? Boot another kernel from grub list, boot to command prompt with recent kernel and reinstall graphics driver?
[10:40] <jhoc2x2> r3dux: By the way, I have kubuntu 10.10 ... I am now booting at the default kernel 2.6.35-22generic ...
[10:40] <zxh728> hi
[10:41] <r3dux> jhoc2x2, I wasn't having a go or anything - I was really just wondering how you're going to fix it incase I end up in the same boat :)
[10:41] <karla> jhattara, also try booting without the quiet option, the output may be helpful
[10:41] <karla> jhoc2x2, ^
[10:41] <jhoc2x2> r3dux: I restarted my laptop, then choose the old kernel over the new one..
[10:42] <demalo> is there a program like top that could display what's to my disc all the time?
[10:42] <karla> demalo, iotop ?
[10:42] <Lion> hey guys
[10:42] <r3dux> I upgraded my wifes PC to Windows 7 SP1 the other day and it worked perfectly and took about 2 hours. I went to upgrade my dual-boot to SP1, and it didn't work, and I spent around 6 hours fighting it and getting error code after error code. After downloading 1.2GB of patches and spending > 7 hours I just gave up.
[10:43] <Lion> is there a way to autohide unity launcher?
[10:43] <r3dux> The only time I use Windows is through a VirtualBox so I can write my thesis in Word 2010
[10:43] <demalo> karla: thanks!
[10:43] <karla> demalo, y/w
[10:44] <amin_> help it is day 2 that I follow this tut and install Nginx with php5-fpm but I put info.php on /var/www put I just get blank bage noting at all   http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-nginx-with-php-5.3-and-php-fpm-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-10.04-without-compiling-anything
[10:44] <Lion> is there a way to autohide unity launcher?
[10:44] <SixtyFold> ive had no issue with either of my win 7 SP1 updates
[10:44] <r3dux> I've had a stack of probs, SixtyFold. It's not been fun.
[10:44] <llutz_> r3dux: why not using libreoffice (same crap as word, but free) or teX?
[10:44] <SixtyFold> that sucks r3dux
[10:44] <oCean> r3dux: ask in ##windows?
[10:45] <r3dux> I can't integrate the quote-management software in LIbre (which I have installed on my linux side)
[10:45] <jhoc2x2> r3dux: openoffice is same as MS office
[10:46] <Scriptorium> hi guys
[10:46] <risperdall> hi Scriptorium
[10:46] <SixtyFold> i use openoffice, office 2010 is coo, i used the beta, but im not paying that much for it haha
[10:46] <r3dux> Dude - you're preaching to the converted - I just can't run the "write-n'-cite" software in LibreOffice to manage the research paper quotations properly
[10:47] <jhoc2x2> lol, 260+ users in kubuntu channel, but no one seems to respond to my questions there.. sad
[10:48] <r3dux> I'm researching. I have a lot of papers to quote. It's a nightmare. Software that helps manages the quotations/DOIs is a good thing - so I run MS Word 2010 in VirtualBox and chomp on my pride ;)
[10:49] <redbox> lol, 1504+ users in ubuntu channel and only 1% here read that line.
[10:49] <jhoc2x2> redbox: amen ^_^
[10:49] <karla> r3dux, I keep a copy of office just for that as well and honestly, I don't find that terribly expensive especially just buying the activation code
[10:50] <jhoc2x2> r3dux: there's always piratebay ???? :D
[10:50] <oCean>  jhoc2x2 don't do that here
[10:50] <redbox> !piracy | jhoc2x2
[10:50] <redbox> jhoc2x2: Thank you. :)
[10:50] <jhoc2x2> redbox: zzzzzzzz..
[10:51] <r3dux> karla - nods. I'm currently teaching at the local university, so I can buy it through the "it's not cheating" thing - so a copy of Windows 7 PLUS Office 2010 Academic Edition is super cheap - I'm legit, yo ;)
[10:51] <oCean> r3dux: please stay on topic.
[10:51] <r3dux> oCean - please define the topic.
[10:52] <llutz_> !ot
[10:52] <oCean> r3dux: type /topic
[10:53] <r3dux> oCean,  Ubuntu is not an island, as such, slight discussion of other operating systems which contain software which perform similar functions are undoubtedly within bounds. So chill :)
[10:54] <oCean> r3dux: you are very welcome to do such in #ubuntu-offtopic. This is the technical support for ubuntu only
[10:54] <jhoc2x2> r3dux: sir, did you update your kernel already ?
[10:54] <karla> r3dux, well certain topics are more O/T than others, it's usually just good to move on ;)
[10:55] <r3dux> oCean - I stand corrected, and I don't want to clog your technical support room - I'll cease and desist.
[10:56] <jhoc2x2> oCean: sir, may I ask about why I can't reach log-in screen (GUI) after restarting from updates??? I only have a shell
[10:56] <oCean> r3dux: thanks! And again, you're very welcome to /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:56] <r3dux> karla - no probs, and I concur.
[10:56] <r3dux> I might do just that :)
[10:57] <oCean> !ask | jhoc2x2
[10:57] <jhoc2x2> uhmm.. I hate to interrupt, but did someone here updated to the latest kernel and have a problem booting on it?
[10:57] <dimmortal> is there anybody that I should direct my sound issue to?? or another chan that might be better able to assist me??
[10:58] <sxndave> dimmortal just ask it, if someone can help you they will :)
[10:58] <karla> jhoc2x2, it seems more likely that the problem is the display driver and not the kernel itself
[10:59] <jhoc2x2> karla: uhmm.. so should I uninstall my radeon drivers first before booting to the latest kernel?
[10:59] <Djishere> Hi all
[10:59] <folklore> hi friend
[10:59] <folklore> welcome
[10:59] <numberto> how do I check if my sound card is working on ubuntu 10.10
[11:00] <karla> jhoc2x2, are you using fglrx??
[11:00] <redbox> jhoc2x2: You can use your old kernel until you have found out why this is occurring.
[11:00] <Djishere> is there any way to catch all interrupt in shell?
[11:00] <jhoc2x2> karla: uhhm.. i think yes.. im using proprietary drivers
[11:01] <dimmortal> I have.. and got no reply.. the issue HAD a fix(a few years ago) which has since been broken and I find no solutions.. just others that complain about the same
[11:01] <dimmortal> the issue is with my lappys subwoffer not working (lenovo y530)
[11:01] <jhoc2x2> redbox: ok. I am now.
[11:01] <karla> jhoc2x2, well then if 'modprobe fglrx' fails then the driver wasn't properly put in place for your kernel to use, install the corresponding kernel headers and retry
[11:02] <sxndave> dimmortal, wish I could help you, but I wouldn't know where to start
[11:02] <jhoc2x2> karla: uhmm.. sorry but im not a pro here. will you enlighten me what you mean?
[11:02] <dimmortal> http://iheartlinux.wordpress.com/2008/12/31/dolby-surround-sound/ <<< this solution no longer works
[11:03] <dimmortal> and actually breaks the sound all together
[11:03] <MACscr> ok, so i have a game installed on my windows disk, which i have mounted right now. When i try to launch the exe using wine, it says the file needs to be executable. I have tried chmod +x on the file, but everytime i check it afterwards, its showing as not executable again. Any ideas?
[11:03] <karla> jhoc2x2, basically each time you install a new kernel, the proprietary radeon drivers are compiled from scratch, in order to do that the headers for that kernel version must be installed as well, make sure you have them
[11:03] <MACscr> does it make a difference that the storage is ntfs?
[11:03] <sxndave> MACscr, I think you may need to install it agin through WINE so it resides in WINES virtual file system
[11:04] <MACscr> sxndave: i was told that was prefered, but not needed
[11:04] <jhoc2x2> karla: if you'r asking if i did properly install my video drivers, I did. infact Im using a very nice cube effects here..
[11:05] <sxndave> MACscr hmm, Ill go try a few myself now, see what happens
[11:05] <MACscr> sxndave: seems to be happening with any exe within that drive
[11:06] <soidexe> hey there! which package is command add-apt-repository from?
[11:06] <profus2> hi everybody, need advice regarding program to convertr avi --> mp3 under ubuntu - any suggestions?
[11:06] <karla> jhoc2x2, I'm sorry I'm just plain confused now, I thought you were only able to obtain a shell like you said
[11:06] <Astyx> profus2, avidemux
[11:07] <sxndave> MACscr, Ive just tried running Steam, I just right clicked and chose open with Wine program loader and its running. +x is not set on the file it just ran. Its on an NTFS partition on the same drive as my 10.10 install.
[11:07] <profus2> @asty thx
[11:07] <MACscr> sxndave: odd. im running the same version. I also just found this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntfs-3g/+bug/598023
[11:07] <nandaran> hey so whats the recommended gui archiver
[11:08] <geirha> nandaran: the default one ..?
[11:08] <Astyx> nandaran, for gtk file-roller
[11:09] <jon__> hello?
[11:09] <nandaran> yeah i tryed guessing garchive but never heard of geda-utils so i figured i would ask
[11:10] <Astyx> was that a question jon__ ?
[11:10] <eloziomek> hello, how release a dhcp adress from command line in ubuntu 11.04, i dont see dhclient
[11:10] <nandaran> Astyx: i like file-roller is perfect thanks
[11:10] <redbox> nandaran: Don't forget additional support for file compression! 7z, rar, unzip, zip, etc!
[11:11] <nandaran> whats the best way to root ubuntu lol
[11:11] <karla> eloziomek, are you running through sudo??
[11:11] <sxndave> MACscr, I cant set +x either on them, but it still just runs the programs, or at least tries. Sme of them fail due to unmet system environment. but smaller stuff thats a bit more self contained is just running here
[11:11] <ikonia> eloziomek: -r and 11.04 discussion in #ubuntu+1
[11:11] <nandaran> yeah i use file-roller on other distros.. ive been using xarchiver i believe lately and p7zip is spotty at best in it
[11:11] <iceroot> nandaran: using sudo instead of a root-shell
[11:12] <nandaran> pretty sure file-roller is gnome..   so whats the best way if i wanted to make it a build platform... moving gcc-multilibs around buy hand it brutal with sudo
[11:12] <nandaran> ah sudo a shell probably
[11:13] <MagicJ> I need to disable ctrl-alt-f2 etc - I used to do this in the file /etc/X11/zorg.conf - but I can not find the file on the new systems.  How do I disable these switches?
[11:14] <karla> MagicJ, its xorg.conf, and if it's not there, make one :)
[11:14] <nandaran> meld is still the best gui diff tool or is there something already on here also
[11:14] <jitendra> i want to know if it is possible in orca to change the sound template... please someone help me
[11:15] <iceroot> nandaran: vimdiff
[11:15] <jatt> ediff
[11:15] <nandaran> i miss vi
[11:15] <MagicJ> karla - I meant x not z - ty - anyway, I will try making it, ty
[11:16] <MagicJ> will need to log off here to test I guess so b back soon
[11:16] <lemtzas> It would seem my main account is no longer part of the admin group. What commands might have caused this?
[11:17] <jon__> someone editing the /etc/groups (or respective /etc/gshadow/) file?
[11:17] <jon__> are you still part of the sudoers?
[11:17] <lemtzas> No.
[11:18] <lemtzas> But it doesn't seem to have removed me until after the restart I did a while ago.
[11:18] <jon__> are there any other logins?
[11:18] <lemtzas> Not with access to root.
[11:18] <lemtzas> And I don't have access to the box at the moment.
[11:18] <nandaran> can you boot ubuntu single user?
[11:19] <lemtzas> Not sure.
[11:19] <jon__> not without access to the box.
[11:19] <jon__> single user mode does not start ssh daemons,
[11:19] <nandaran> why are using a computer you dont have access too =/
[11:19] <lemtzas> I'm at a university that performs heavy traffic shaping.
[11:20] <lemtzas> It's rather annoying.
[11:20] <jon__> hehe, so the box that he had found an explit has closed the hole and he's trying to find a way around... no?
[11:21] <MagicJ> karla - ty - that was what I needed
[11:21] <jon__> *exploit
[11:21] <karla> MagicJ, yw
[11:21] <lemtzas> Hmm?
[11:21] <jitendra> i want to use orca for hindi but the problem is that even when i choose the language, the accent is British. SO, i was wondering if speech template can be replaced
[11:22] <nandaran> lemtzas: so you do or dont have access to the hardware?
[11:22] <jon__> lemtzas: it's ok.  I __LOVED__ college for just this reason...
[11:23] <lemtzas> I can get access to it in a few days.
[11:23] <lemtzas> Just not right now.
[11:23] <dimmortal> I am pretty sure I need to figure out how to enable 'lenovo-sky' in the current version of alsa
[11:23] <chatdude> helloooo
[11:23] <davidcoe> how can I get the current network bandwidth?
[11:24] <pozic> How can I tell shotwell not to display the image it imports?
[11:24] <jhoc2x2> karla: uhmm, going back to my problem, please tell me how to install headers of kernel 2.6.35-25 pls
[11:24] <dimmortal> it seems that the current alsa-base file contains nothing and adding anything to it just breaks the sound entirely
[11:25] <bazhang> jhoc2x2, check in synaptic
[11:25] <jon__> iftop
[11:25] <jon__> davidcoe: use iftop
[11:25] <jhoc2x2> bazhang: by the way, im using Kubuntu 10.10 kernel 2.6.35-22
[11:26] <xormor> how do I delete useless stuff from my hard drive?
[11:26] <bazhang> jhoc2x2, okay, apt-cache search header
[11:26] <xormor> now I only have about 200 meg free, I need at least 500 meg free.
[11:26] <karla> xormor, 'rm -rf <stuff'
[11:26] <sgillet> hey all, that may be a dumb question, but i'll fire anyway: How could I prevent Ubuntu 10.04 to automatically dim-log out after some time (1 precision: I previously set the Power Management settings to "Never" before)
[11:26] <gaelfx> xormor: what would you define as "useless" stuff?
[11:26] <xormor> karla: yes. and sudo apt-get autoremove && sudo apt-get autoclean, what other commands?
[11:26] <xormor> gaelfx: some useless videos, useless porn, useless temporary files.
[11:27] <jon__> sudo apt-get purge <package_name>
[11:27] <jhoc2x2> why not simply click and delete?
[11:27] <gaelfx> xormor: select useless files with mouse, press delete button, empty trash can
[11:27] <nandaran> it is probably easier to get to android via ubuntu? these both seem so user oriented linux's
[11:27] <gaelfx> lather, rinse, repeat
[11:28] <dimmortal> lol
[11:28] <gaelfx> unfortunately, linux is still without a "remove porn" command, so you sort of have to do it by hand
[11:28] <jhoc2x2> bazhang: after the cache search?
[11:28] <karla> If there were a 'remove porn' command, what language would it be written in???
[11:28] <nandaran> yeah but ubuntu atleast resets tmp on boot right
[11:29] <gaelfx> karla: python
[11:29] <jhoc2x2> lol on that gae
[11:29] <jhoc2x2> lol on that gae
[11:29] <nandaran> i should have installed squid on the host... since its bypassing all my malware blocking just cuz it went off defaults haha
[11:30]  * gaelfx takes his bow and tries to get back on topic
[11:30] <nandaran> i didnt know so many of my favorite forums had so many ads for drugs!
[11:30] <MagicJ> I have chanhed my screen saver to gltext, at least the system indicates that I have changed it, however, when it does activate I still get the old "feet".  I even re-booted and the changes have not taked.  I have seen this before and knw that they eventually take,  What do I need to do to make them take NOW!
[11:30] <drizt> hi can i fully remove package from ppa? i want to upload a new package with the same name and version.
[11:31] <gaelfx> does apt-p2p work automagically, or do I have to invoke it? also, does it need to be configured in any way?
[11:31] <gaelfx> drizt: sudo apt-get purge <package-name>
[11:31] <gaelfx> drizt: then you have to remove the ppa from the system
[11:32] <gaelfx> that's such a weird ping timeout
[11:32] <profus2> sorry for newbie question: where to extract *.tar.bz2 - file to
[11:33] <xormor> profus2: home dir
[11:33] <gaelfx> profus2: depends what you're trying to do. what are you trying to do?
[11:33] <nandaran> well thanks again! good luck with your userbase
[11:33] <drizt> gaelfx: i uploaded package on ppa and i want to delete it package on ppa.
[11:33] <sicopath> Is there anyway to login using a script, and run a command?
[11:33] <karla> profus2, any directory of your choosing, generally, use the -C <dir> option
[11:33] <profus2> would like to extract downloaded software and run it
[11:33] <gaelfx> drizt: oh, sorry, I misunderstood. I've never dealt with managing a ppa before, sorry
[11:34] <sicopath> use ppa-purge ?
[11:34] <karla> profus2, 'tar -C <dir> -jxf file.tar.bz2'
[11:34] <sicopath> sudo ppa-purge -d <Ubuntu version> ppa:<the PPA to purge>
[11:34] <profus2> i have no problem extracting it, what is not clear to me
[11:34] <jhoc2x2> should I purge radeon drivers before upgrading kernels???
[11:34] <drizt>  gaelfx np
[11:35] <karla> jhoc2x2, not really
[11:35] <drizt> is there somebody who can help me with ppa?
[11:35] <sicopath> drizt, you want to remove the ppa?
[11:35] <profus2> is there a program directory to extract it to and afterwoods run it
[11:35] <jhoc2x2> karla: I updated my headers now , should i restart and try the new kernel?
[11:35] <profus2> a standard directory, I mean
[11:35] <gaelfx> sicopath: no, he's managing a ppa, wants to change the files in it
[11:36] <sicopath> gaelfx, oh sorry, my bad
[11:36] <gaelfx> np
[11:36] <drizt> sicopath: no i want to remove package on ppa. then i want to upload package with the same name and version.
[11:36] <karla> jhoc2x2, if you've seen some output related to 'dkms' then chances are that might work, go ahead then :)
[11:36] <magnetron> hi, does the official ubuntu 10.10 ec2 server image support the binary nvidia driver and python-opencl?
[11:36] <sicopath> how can i issue commands on boot (ie, login without using a keyboard)  (console only)
[11:36] <sicopath> drizt, ppa-purge? no?
[11:36] <drizt> package has the same name and version but it has new orig.tar.gz
[11:37] <jhoc2x2> karla: ok thanks.. restarting in a few seconds..
[11:37] <sgillet> How could I prevent Ubuntu 10.04 to automatically dim-log out after some time?
[11:37] <gaelfx> here's something interesting: https://lwn.net/Articles/429812/
[11:37] <sxndave> sicopath, have you tried here -> #ubuntu-packaging
[11:37] <sgillet>  (1 precision: I previously set the Power Management settings to "Never" before)
[11:38] <magnetron> sgillet: check screensaver settings
[11:38] <drizt> sicopath:  is it console command ?
[11:38] <sicopath> sxndave, i'm trying to find out if it is possible to login to a system (that has never been logged into) without a keyboard.
[11:39] <sxndave> sicopath, yeh I mis directed that sorry.
[11:39] <sicopath> by modifying something on the filesystem.
[11:39] <sgillet> magnetron: does that require installing xscreensaver?
[11:39] <sxndave> drizt, have you tried here -> #ubuntu-packaging
[11:40] <sicopath> i only have a ps/2 keyboard.  one system needs a usb keyboard.  I'm trying to find out how to login and issue one command.  The command gets the box online.  Then I can ssh in from another computer.
[11:40] <karla> sicopath, well you can, err, pass init=/bin/sh to the boot command
[11:40] <drizt> sxndave: thank you
[11:41] <sicopath> karla, by modifying files?  i have no keyboard access to this computer.  But I can take the drive and transfer it to this computer. (it's a SD - debian system)
[11:42] <lillecarl> sicopath, you can buy a keyboard, thats also a alternative :)
[11:42] <tw4n> How to get my canon DSLR as a webcam device for live capture?
[11:43] <sicopath> lillecarl, :) i know.  it's a rollup rubber one :( broken.  I had a ps/2 to usb adapter, but can't find it.
[11:43] <sicopath> it's a wii system that is booting debain via SD card.
[11:44] <amit> i have 32bit ubuntu but i want to install to 64bit as i have core2 duo processor what should i do for upgrade from 32bit to 64 bit?
[11:44] <deww> tw4n: is that officially or unofficially supported by any OS?
[11:44] <bazhang> amit, full reinstall
[11:44] <gaelfx> sicopath:  I feel like there must be an on-screen keyboard that you can set up, hang on
[11:45] <amit> bazhang:is there not any other method/
[11:45] <bazhang> amit, no
[11:45] <amit> ok thnx
[11:45] <tw4n> deww: I am trying to get a live view of my camera in let's say Cheese. The thing is ubuntu makes the device behace like a usb stick. The camera is a Canon 7D
[11:46] <gaelfx> sicopath: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Accessibility check this out, I know it's somewhere, I'm just not sure where exactly
[11:47] <amit> gaelfx:is there not any way other than full instalation of 64bit ubuntu rather than to upgrade from 32bit?
[11:47] <sicopath> thanks for link gaelfx
[11:49] <jhoc2x2> karla: no luck after restarting..
[11:49] <deww> tw4n: i see people talk about it for other oses using canon's software or something.
[11:49] <karla> jhoc2x2, :/
[11:49] <jhoc2x2> karla: it seems im having error code -110 .. dunno what that means
[11:49] <deww> live view mode
[11:49] <gaelfx> sicopath: no prob
[11:49] <Oer> amit you cannot upgrade the Architecture, only reinstall 64, or side by side install
[11:50] <jhoc2x2> karla: im using 64bit by the way.. if that helps
[11:50] <gaelfx> amit: there might be, but it's a LOT more difficult than just reinstalling
[11:51] <tw4n> deww: yes it is possible on windows and osx. I do need it for my setup on ubuntu :(  the only thing close to it I found was "gPhoto2" http://photodoto.com/tethered-shooting-with-linux/
[11:51] <amit> gaelfx:0er:how much min ram is needed for 64 bit and can i use 64 bit as i have core 2duo processor e7500
[11:51] <BlaDe^> Hey i've just plugged my external hdd in via usb and it's not showing up
[11:51] <BlaDe^> how can I find it?
[11:51] <tw4n> deww: The best trick would be to convert the connected device to an video 4 linux device: v4l
[11:51] <jhoc2x2> anyone updated to kernel 2.6.35-25 ???
[11:51] <bazhang> amit, you can use 64bit, yes
[11:52] <gaelfx> amit: you should be fine with that processor, ram req's are same as for 32 bit
[11:52] <karla> jhoc2x2, honestly, an error that only outputs '-110' isn't one that's meant to be fixed - theoretically it should be working
[11:52] <amit> thanx all of u
[11:53] <gaelfx> sicopath: so funny story, I got the onscreen keyboard...by using a physical keyboard :/
[11:53] <amit> plz tell me what difference i  wil find related to s/w in 64bit compare to 32 bit?
[11:53] <g0rby> Hello, In ubuntu studio I have installed compat-wireless formy netgear wna1100, Iwlist wlan0 scan now finds all the AP's in my area but network manager doesnt show any essid in the drop down, anyone have any ideas?
[11:53] <chalet16> I'm trying to config Ubuntu to use Buffalo WLI-UC-G300HP  (0411:0148) for my wireless but I got very high ping time (more than 1 sec).
[11:54] <chalet16> I'm using Ubuntu 10.10
[11:54] <gaelfx> amit: not much, but you might notice a performance increase in more processor intensive apps
[11:54] <sicopath> gaelfx, :) doh.  I'm just trying to run /root/whiite-ez-wifi-config so the wii can get online
[11:54] <amit> gaelfx:ok thanx
[11:54] <gaelfx> sicopath: can you ssh into it?
[11:55] <gaelfx> sicopath: oh, haha sorry
[11:55] <g0rby> is there some where i can tell network man what interface to use for wlan or something?
[11:55] <sicopath> no, it's not online (until you login and run the whiite-ez-wifi-config
[11:56] <amit> gaelfx:is there a difference between ordering a cd and downloading it one from ubuntu web?
[11:56] <jrib> amit: the one you order looks prettier
[11:56] <gaelfx> amit: one of them should take longer than the other
[11:57] <gaelfx> amit: also, if you can burn a cd yourself, it's better than asking for a cd for free, since, while it may be free for you, someone has to pay for it
[11:57] <amit> gaelfx:thanx
[11:57] <amit> jrib:thanx
[11:57] <g0rby> like, the internet you mean? ;)
[11:57] <gaelfx> sicopath: well, if you can ssh in and do "onboard&" that should get you the onscreen keyboard
[11:58] <sicopath> if i could ssh in, i would be fine :)
[11:58] <gaelfx> sicopath: er, you might need a DISPLAY=:0 in front of that
[11:58] <meloris> hello i neeed help
[11:58] <gaelfx> sicopath: good point
[11:58] <gaelfx> !ask | meloris
[11:58] <bazhang> meloris, with what
[11:59] <g0rby> is there somewhere I can tell network man what interface to use for wireless?
[11:59] <bazhang> !wifi | g0rby
[12:00] <meloris> how compile soure code ?
[12:00] <gaelfx> sicopath: got it, it's in the Prefences menu under Assistice Technologies
[12:00] <gaelfx> *assistive
[12:00] <jrib> !compile | meloris
[12:00] <jrib> meloris: though you should always (really: always) use apt
[12:01] <gaelfx> sicopath: if you enable assistive technologies, then choose preferred apps and select onboard for mobility
[12:02] <ardchoille> meloris: have you checked to see if the app is in the repos already?
[12:02] <amit> as i can't run 64bit OS on virtual box if my main OS is 32 bit.and now m installing 64bit as my main OS can i use other 64bit OS on virtual machine?
[12:03] <meloris> no
[12:03] <meloris> no
[12:03] <ardchoille> meloris: there's a chance the app is already compiled and all you need to do is install it. What is the name of the app?
[12:04] <g0rby> ok so i had a look there, but all that documentation assumes that either a) your wifi driver is not working
[12:04] <meloris> i need compile EMC2 program
[12:05] <g0rby> or b) some software problem
[12:05] <g0rby> but, my card is working, as i can interrogate it with iwtools, but networka man just dont seem to reach it
[12:05] <RubenHaan> hi, Small question: how do i get info about what soundcard is in my computer? what command can i use in terminal for that?
[12:05] <adrian_berg> is there a log of this channel somewhere?
[12:05] <jrib> !logs | adrian_berg
[12:05] <ardchoille> meloris: that sounds like fun
[12:06] <adrian_berg> thanks jrib

[12:18] <amit> jrib: no i  an talking about my partitions

[12:20] <Guest5272> yep that right
[12:21] <l4ng1t> hello guys
[12:21] <Guest5272> its the computer im usyng now on this chat
[12:21] <amit> jrib: m new so i m not understanding plz elobrate ur question so i can understand more clearly
[12:21] <g0rby> I managed to connect now, but network man still doesnt show other Essid in the drop down, connection only occoured when i entered my settings manualy then ran dhcp myself
[12:21] <jrib> amit: is the partition on an internal drive?

[12:22] <amit> jrib:thanx m going to study it
[12:22] <sogeking99> hey guys, every time i start up ubuntu i need to enter my network pass. cant i make it sign in on its own?
[12:23] <Guest5272> i try to get a full screen on youtube and the flash player crashes aloong with mi desktop[i am currently usyng a GNOME session]
[12:23] <Diamondcite> sogeking99: If it's to unlock the wifi passwords, make that one connection available to all users, it will no longer ask for a password on login.
[12:23] <g0rby> I would still like to figure out why network-manager isnt behaveing as it should
[12:23] <g0rby> since every new wirless connection must be set up manualy this way
[12:24] <Diamondcite> Guest5272: From personal experience, the ZG5's N270 can only handle Youtube at up to 480p, anything higher will lag horribly if not out right fail.
[12:24] <zero_> mentor-dk-installer.bin: relocation error: /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libnss_compat.so.2: symbol strcmp, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference
[12:24] <zero_> can someone point me into the right direction to fix this please?
[12:25] <Guest5272> but it did work befor when i had sterted with linux last year, why is it turnyng out like this now?
[12:25] <zero_> I am running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
[12:25] <paulmillar> Hi Guys, I just reduced the size of my root lv through the alternate CD - everything seemed fine... Then I rebooted the system and get this: http://cl.ly/4pEH  - Is anyone able to take a look / help me get the system booted up?
[12:25] <sogeking99> it doesn't do it on my windows. surely theres a way?
[12:25] <zero_> 10.04.02 to be precise.
[12:25] <Guest5272> but it did work befor when i had sterted with linux last year, why is it turnyng out like this now?
[12:26] <Diamondcite> Guest5272: ... I see.. in that case I can't really help with the issue since I can't figure out how yours is different.. unless it thinks your graphic card is something else. (Should just be an intel GMA 950)
[12:27] <sogeking99> plus on my old pc ubuntu connected automatically
[12:27] <Curtis> Hello :)
[12:28] <Diamondcite> sogeking99: Is this PC connected via a wire or wireless?
[12:28] <sogeking99> wireless
[12:28] <amit> can i use 64bit OS on virtual machine  as i have 64bit processor and also have installed 64bit OS?
[12:28] <iceroot> amit: yes
[12:28] <jrib> amit: yeah
[12:28] <Diamondcite> sogeking99: I never got a reply earlier.. did you try editing that connection to you specific wifi network and make it "Available to All users"
[12:29] <Curtis_> curtis
[12:29] <Curtis_> woops
[12:29] <amit> jrib,iceroot:ok tell me can iuse 64bit on virtual machine if i have 32 bit installed on my 64bit machine?
[12:29] <Guest5272> thats the problem that poped up last time , the computer was thinking tht i had no driver so it was using an older driver that was stored in the memory,but still the computer gives trouble when only on youtube i can get a full screen but only on mi personal videos while usyng movie player
[12:29] <jrib> amit: yes, I believe so
[12:29] <iceroot> amit: depending what you are using (xen, vbox, kvm, vmware)
[12:29] <Guest5272> i apologise for mi bad english i havent bein home in florida for a long time
[12:29] <sogeking99> isn't that a security risk?
[12:30] <Diamondcite> sogeking99: Right click the network icon -> Edit Connections -> [Wireless] -> Choose the top item (Should be current connection) -> [edit] -> []Available to all users -> Apply
[12:30] <amit> jrib: but when i going to install 64bit on virtual box OSE as my main OS is 32 bit installed it says kernel is of 32 bit
[12:30] <amit> iceroot:
[12:30] <l4ng1t> i have both 32bit and 64bit in virtual machine and running well
[12:30] <Diamondcite> sogeking99: Well it depends, else it has to ask YOU everytime for your master password to decrypt your wifi
[12:31] <Diamondcite> sogeking99: So it's convience or security, not both.
[12:31] <iceroot> amit: you have to install vbox32 bit on a 32bit host
[12:31] <sogeking99> ok thanks
[12:31] <amit> iceroot:yes
[12:31] <iceroot> amit: and with vt-x you can run 64bit on it
[12:31] <amit> iceroot:thax i understood the point
[12:31] <iceroot> amit: but the vbox-package and the host must match the same architecture
[12:32] <l4ng1t> anyway.. how to detect my internal webcam? im so desperate, my cam gone :(
[12:32] <iceroot> amit: but you cant use more then 4gb ram with that setup for the host + vm
[12:32] <Diamondcite> sogeking99: Even if they are available to all users it's not stored in plaintext, there is still some encoding to make it harder to read.
[12:32] <Quantum_Ion> How can you tell if someone is remotely connected to your Ubuntu Linux system ?
[12:32] <iceroot> amit: the same for xen
[12:32] <iceroot> Quantum_Ion: w
[12:32] <Diamondcite> Quantum_Ion: Try the 'who' command in the terminal, it should show all active users
[12:32] <amit> iceroot:how i install virtual box OSE OF 64bit as ubuntu s/w center provide it of 32 bit on 32 bit host
[12:33] <iceroot> amit: please reread what i wrote
[12:33] <Quantum_Ion> Diamondcite, iceroot Thanks
[12:33] <sogeking99> yeah, i also thought i was connecting automatically the first day though
[12:33] <paulmillar> Is anyone able to help me with this please? http://cl.ly/4pEH I'd really appreciate it
[12:33] <iceroot> amit: hist and vbox must be the same architecutre
[12:33] <iceroot> amit: host
[12:33] <amit> iceroot:thanx
[12:34] <Curtis_> can someone help me? i did a fresh install of 10.10 on my acer laptop which was working fine .. i then rebooted and ever since, ive been getting an error message .. i don't know the exact wording but it was along the lines of 'failed to mount dev/loop0' and 'initram' .. so ive tried to reinstall from several different disks .. a 10.10 livecd and a 10.04 LTS aswell .. but every time i open the installer, the installer stalls
[12:34] <Curtis_> either at the 'select time zone' stage or the language select page .. ive tried several different installers including wubi which failed and installing from the livecd but no luck .. someone please help me :| if theres a pro out there somewhere, i can give you my email address or something? thanks :)
[12:34] <amit> iceroot: i understood these basics now thanx a ton
[12:35] <Quantum_Ion> Curtis_, What other operating systems do you have on the Acer laptop ?
[12:35] <Curtis_> i run windows 7
[12:36] <Quantum_Ion> Curtis_,Can you boot Windows 7 without any problems ?
[12:36] <amit> iceroot; how to open tty mode on virtual box as i have tried but alt+ctrl+[F1-f6] doesnot work ?
[12:36] <Curtis_> yes windows 7 has no problem booting
[12:36] <iceroot> amit: sorry dont know, have a look at #vbox
[12:36] <amit> ok
[12:38] <Quantum_Ion>  Curtis_ The problem is that you have you understand partition tables on your harddrives although Ubuntu Linux makes it easy with a self partitioner built into the install program it is always not flawless sometimes you have to manually partition your hardrive with a tool like partition magic
[12:38] <Quantum_Ion> or PartedMagic
[12:39] <iceroot> Quantum_Ion: gparted is the tool for linux
[12:39] <Curtis_> i can use GParted but the trouble is, i can't actually get past the first step of the installer
[12:39] <Curtis_> im capable of partitioning my hard-drive
[12:39] <Quantum_Ion> Curtis_, Read this and make an iso of this program
[12:39] <Curtis_> im a noob i realise but i am familiar with the terminal to a degree
[12:40] <Quantum_Ion> Curtis_, http://partedmagic.com/doku.php
[12:40] <Curtis_> thanks quantum-ion
[12:40] <sogeking99> what tends to be setup for games? i see setup.sh is that it? but i clicked it and it opened gedit
[12:40] <Curtis_> but i could just use gparted from the live-cd? it's not the partitioning that's the problem as i already have 50gb of dedicated space for my linux partition
[12:41] <Curtis_> the error message is similar to:
[12:41] <Curtis_>  http://partedmagic.com/doku.php
[12:41] <Curtis_> i mean
[12:41] <Curtis_> [mount: mounting /dev /root/dev failed: no such file or directory]
[12:41] <Curtis_> [mount: mounting /dev /root/sys failed: no such file or directory]
[12:41] <Curtis_> [mount: mounting /dev /root/proc failed: no such file or directory]
[12:41] <Curtis_> [Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init.]
[12:41] <Curtis_> [No init found. Try passing init= bootarg]
[12:41] <FloodBot2> Curtis_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:41] <Curtis_> [BusyBox v1.13.3 (Ubuntu 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu11) built-in shell (ash)]
[12:41] <Quantum_Ion> Curtis_, In some cases you might have to manually partition your hardrive with a tool like PartedMagic because sometimes the partition tables get screwed up
[12:41] <gaelfx> !pb | Curtis_
[12:41] <gaelfx> !virtualbox > sicopath
[12:42] <Quantum_Ion> Curtis_, You might even have have to reinstall Windows 7 in some cases
[12:42] <Curtis_> im sorry .. im not sure how to use this chat thing .. id be so greatful if someone could provide email or msn support?
[12:42] <amit> gaelfx: how to open tty mode in virtual box i mean alt+ctrl+F1-F6 ?
[12:43] <sogeking99> ?
[12:43] <Quantum_Ion> Curtis_, Sometimes your partition table can get screwed up with multiple installs of the Ubuntu Linux operating system
[12:44] <Random832> amit: if you can't figure out a way to send the keys, try sudo chvt 1
[12:44] <gaelfx> amit: ctl+alt+f2
[12:44] <amit> Dr_Willis:how to open tty mode in virtual box i mean alt+ctrl+F1-F6 ?
[12:44] <gaelfx> amit: oh, sorry, I don't know about doing it in virtual box
[12:45] <amit> gaelfx: i tried all but it doesnot work on virtual box
[12:45] <Random832> well, if you can figure out a way to send ctrl-alt-f1 to the guest it should work, but if you can't, then try chvt
[12:45] <Random832> wait, what's your host OS?
[12:45] <Random832> if you're on windows, your problem is probably just you're using the wrong ctrl key
[12:45] <Quantum_Ion> Curtis_, Sometimes when I really screw up my partition tables I will wipe the harddisk completely clean using this program and start from scratch http://www.dban.org/
[12:45] <Random832> you have to use left ctrl or it gets treated as the magic virtualbox key
[12:45] <amit> Random832: will u plz explain sir! shoud i write that command in ternial of virtual box os
[12:46] <Curtis_> thanks but theres no way im deleting my windows 7 partition
[12:46] <Curtis_> it's the only one that seems to be working
[12:46] <Random832> amit: can you answer my question? i'm trying to figure out why ctrl-alt-f1 isn't working
[12:46] <Random832> i thought you meant it was changing the host to the tty instead
[12:46] <Random832> not that it just wasn't working
[12:46] <Quantum_Ion> Curtis_, This program -> http://www.dban.org/ also wipes your harddisks completly clean so no government official such as the NSA, FBI, or DEA can access your harddrive for evidence against you
[12:46] <amit> Random832: my host OS is ubuntu and on virtuak box it is fedora
[12:47] <Random832> ok
[12:47] <Random832> yeah run the chvt command in a terminal
[12:47] <Random832> you have to sudo for it to work for X
[12:47] <unixrox> amit: Please correct spelling before hitting the enter key.
[12:47] <sogeking99> how do i run setup.sh?
[12:47] <Quantum_Ion> Curtis_, I hope you made backup reinstall disks for Windows 7, because harddrives sometimes fail
[12:47] <amit> Random832: on host OS terminal or virtual box
[12:48] <Random832> on virtalbox
[12:48] <Random832> on the host it would change the host to it
[12:48] <amit> unixrox: i will try my best
[12:48] <unixrox> sogeking99: Run it in a terminal. chmod +x setup.sh ; ./setup.sh
[12:48] <amit> Random832: ok i will try
[12:48] <example92> hello from greece!!
[12:49] <karla> example92, hello, i hate for your enthusiasm to be met by silence so Hi!!!
[12:50] <unixrox> Is it possible to install Ubuntu using a FreeBSD kernel the way it is with Debian GNU/Linux to run a FreeBSD kernel? Is this possible in Ubuntu?
[12:50] <example92> my webcam works, but its toodark... anybody kno how to change the settings?
[12:50] <example92> !karla, :P
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> unixrox:  i dont think it is at this time.
[12:50] <sogeking99> its on an iso so it said its a read only filesystem
[12:50] <unixrox> Dr_Willis: Okay.
[12:50] <Dr_Willis> sogeking99:  whats the thing supposed to be doing anyway?
[12:51] <sogeking99> installing the linux version of heroes of might and magic 3
[12:51] <sogeking99> i mounted the disk
[12:51] <sogeking99> in the disk is setup.sh
[12:51] <Dr_Willis> sogeking99:  perhaps youy need to some how tell uit where to uinstall to...
[12:52] <sogeking99> im very new to linux, no clue how to do much
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> sogeking99:  the setup program dosent ask where to install the game to?
[12:52] <crm_> sogeking try "sh ./setup.sh"
[12:53] <Dr_Willis> sogeking99:  its also possible the game would work better witn the windows version in wine. then the old linux version
[12:53] <sogeking99> setup.sh? i cant run it it open gedit
[12:53] <ardchoille> crm_: with "sh", you don't need the "./"
[12:54] <sogeking99> function not found
[12:54] <ardchoille> sounds like a code bug
[12:55] <qpwoei> can anybody tell me where kernel is installed
[12:55] <sogeking99> damn
[12:55] <AbhijiT> !kernel | qpwoei
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> try bash setup.sh perhaps
[12:57] <sogeking99> This installation doesn't support glibc-2.1 on x86_64
[12:58] <vega-> qpwoei: in /boot
[12:58] <crm_> sogeking99, : gonna have to install the 32bit compatibility libraries I think.
[12:59] <sogeking99> how do i do that?
[12:59] <crm_> working on it..
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> sogeking99:  as i said - it may be best to use the windows version of the game in wine.
[12:59] <sogeking99> i can try
[12:59] <ardchoille> Dr_Willis: looks like a lot less problems that way anyway
[12:59] <Dr_Willis> old linux native games - often have major issues on new disrtos.
[13:00] <sogeking99> isn't wine buggy for most games?
[13:00] <Dr_Willis> sogeking99:  not really. depneds on the game.
[13:00] <crm_> sudo apt-get install ia32-libs ia32-libs-gtk ia32-libs-sdl
[13:01] <Dr_Willis> try what crm_  is suggesting.. and see if it works.
[13:01] <crm_> I'm still pretty new but if it doesn't work you can always reverse by changing install to remove
[13:02] <sogeking99> thanks ill try
[13:03] <Rickardo1> I got "httpd (pid 150) already running" when trying to start apache.. but I can´t find httpd with ps aux | grep httpd
[13:03] <sogeking99> i want to learn linux better. so i dont have too always depend on you guys. greatly appreciated by the way. anyone recommend a boo to learn bash?
[13:03] <ardchoille> !bash

[13:04] <g0rby> sogeking99: just keep practiceing with things u like, dont force it in unless some one is paying you to :P
[13:04] <ardchoille> sogeking99: and hang out in this channel, I have learned so much from just sitting and watching
[13:05] <Dr_Willis> sogeking99:  watch the book stores/used book stores for stuff by O'reily (i think i spelt it right) :) bargin books are great.
[13:05] <sogeking99> ok thanks. i normally enjoy learning new things anyway
[13:05] <ardchoille> Dr_Willis: yep, O'Reiy books are great
[13:05] <sogeking99> whats best book by them?
[13:05] <sogeking99> might be on amazon
[13:06] <g0rby> sogeking99: I only mean to say stuff doesnt tend to stick in your mind when u make it tangible
[13:06] <Dr_Willis> sogeking99:  they got stuff covering everything
[13:07] <sogeking99> yeah i understand
[13:07] <sicopath> ok, so i used a ppc mingetty and i am now logged in.  what would i now edit to run the command /root/whiite-ez-wifi-config?
[13:07] <ardchoille> sogeking99: the bash book I have (o'reily) has a fish on the cover, good book
[13:07] <yuskhanzab> yuhu..

[13:10] <Dr_Willis> !infi lmms-vst
[13:10] <Pici> Dr_Willis: infi
[13:10] <Dr_Willis> Grr. i give up. :) whats lmms-vst?
[13:11] <doodie> Dr_Willis, my problem is I want to install a software and without replacing wine1 with wine 1.2.

[13:12] <sogeking99> my touchpad on laptop seems annoyingly over sensitive today. keep clicking everything when i just want to move cursor around, just me maybe?
[13:12] <amit> how to hide my ip while on XChat
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> sogeking99:  wet hands.
[13:12] <AbhijiT> amit, you may get cloak
[13:12] <ardchoille> !cloak | amit
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> amit:  ask for a Cloak in #freenode. Its not really that big a security issue
[13:12] <amit> ok thanx
[13:12] <Dr_Willis> I wonder why they just dont cloak everyone by default..  but they proberly got reasons
[13:13] <AbhijiT> amit, you need to have a registered nick first
[13:13] <sogeking99> oh right
[13:13] <amit> abhijit: how to register
[13:13] <AbhijiT> !register | amit
[13:15] <gaelfx> does apt-p2p work automagically or do I need to invoke it?
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> gaelfx:  you are the first person ive heard in here thats actually tried to use that. :)
[13:17] <Dr_Willis> gaelfx:  check its man page perhaps?
[13:18] <sogeking99> fount a free book 'the linux command line' by William E. Shotts, Jr.
[13:18] <misk> any good recommendation for basic bash scripting ?
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> misk:  clarify what you are looking for.
[13:18] <Dr_Willis> Theres dozens of sites/guides/books out about bash  and scripting bash.
[13:19] <Dr_Willis>  the #bash channel has  some referances also in their topic i recall
[13:19] <misk> hm
[13:19] <misk> I've had seen some online resources
[13:19] <BluesKaj> howdy folks
[13:19] <misk> but I've to look into the very basics
[13:19] <gaelfx> Dr_Willis: I'm googling it now ;)
[13:20] <Dr_Willis> the delicious.com web site also has good bash links under the bash tags.
[13:20] <Slartibart> When I run a certain wget command on my local ubuntu it works fine, but on another machine I get 404. I suppose it's because the url on the remote machine has %5C added in front of special chars in it, i.e. ? and &. Anyone who knows why this happens??
[13:20] <misk> okey
[13:20] <misk> thank you.
[13:21] <BluesKaj> Slartibart, does curl work in that situation ?
[13:21] <ktlou> hey im new to linux and im trying to install something on ubuntu but it isnt working would anyone be able to help me please?
[13:22] <AbhijiT> !details | ktlou
[13:22] <Slartibart> BluesKaj: Yes. But since the line actually works here locally I was hoping I wouldn't need that?
[13:23] <ktlou> ok im trying to install http://www.shaplov.ru/files/sim/ in terminal. i did the whole cd/... but its saying no such file or directory exists. the first time i did it it worked but i missed the - in apt-get and now its not finding it i dont know why
[13:23] <BluesKaj> Slartibart, dunno what the prob is , I just thought an alternative might work
[13:23] <Dr_Willis> ktlou:  check your spelling at the command line, use the tab key to complete file/paths.. case is imporntant.
[13:24] <Slartibart> BluesKaj: Yes, thanks for that one.
[13:24] <ktlou> its typed exactly the same as the time it worked thats why im a bit lost
[13:25] <Quantum_Ion> WINE is still so shitty
[13:25] <Quantum_Ion> been like that for at least 10 years
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> Quantum_Ion:  i rarely have issues with it with the progarsm i do need it for.
[13:25] <Dr_Willis> but thats not exactly OT. for this channel.
[13:26] <BluesKaj> Quantum_Ion, are you a gamer?
[13:26] <shomon> firestarter is using 90% cpu... am I being attacked? how can I reduce that?
[13:26] <gaelfx> ah, I found a guide about how to setup apt-p2p, it's pretty decent I'd have to say
[13:27] <gaelfx> for anyone interested: http://bredsaal.dk/installing-apt-p2p-on-ubuntu
[13:27] <dsdale24> I'm running kubuntu natty, been keeping up to date. After upgrading yesterday or the day before "aptitude full-upgrade" and restarting, I can no longer access the network. Wireless networking isnt working, and even rebooting with a wired connection isn't working. Its a dual-boot machine, windows 7 can connect to the network. Is there a way I can check my config?
[13:27] <bazhang> dsdale24, #ubuntu+1 for that
[13:27] <dsdale24> thanks
[13:27] <waperboy> apt-p2p for people who are getting slow apt downloads?
[13:28] <seblabel> what is apt-p2p ?
[13:28] <misk> Dr_Willis: got the book by Ken o Burtch, looks fine. What you sya
[13:28] <misk> say*
[13:28] <sgo11> hi, If I mount -t ecryptfs /secret /secret manually, should I umount it manually before shutdown? or is that safe to shutdown without manual umount? thanks.
[13:28] <waperboy> only reason I can think of, or server unavailability of course...
[13:29] <sxndave> or for firewalled machines on lan
[13:29] <gaelfx> waperboy: seblabel: yeah, basically, it's for getting apt repos via p2p
[13:30] <seblabel> this is very intersting
[13:30] <waperboy> someday I should go through all the running processes (300+) on my Lucid and get rid of unnecessary stuff... heh
[13:30] <gaelfx> my thoughts exactly, I don't know why they haven't made it an official package yet, it's been around for quite a while
[13:31] <gaelfx> waperboy: well, it also helps to take some of the stress off of the servers
[13:31] <waperboy> for example, why do I have 24 "ext4-dio-unwrit" processes?
[13:31] <crm_> brilliant idea imho... I wonder if by p2p proxy it means it'll start out using apt-get method and add p2p as it finds sources.
[13:31] <seblabel> maybe it can give a door to bad people with no good vibrations
[13:31] <Dr_Willis> misk:  i only get books from the bargin bins. :) and havent gotten any new linux books in ages.. once you got the basics covered.. most new books just reahash the fundamentals
[13:32] <Quantum_Ion> Dr_Willis, Right
[13:32] <waperboy> Dr willis - yea, much more to learn on the net :)
[13:32] <Dr_Willis> I found the Orealy 'Bash' book in a bargin table for like $5 once.. it was the older version. but still worked..
[13:32] <Quantum_Ion> Dr_Willis, Kind of a waste to keep buying new Linux books all the time because of the frequent updates things get outdated pretty quickly
[13:33] <Quantum_Ion> Dr_Willis, Usually new that book is $30.00 or more
[13:33] <gaelfx> bash is king, what more can I say?
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> 'core' books to look for would be one on Bash, Regular Expressions, and VIM perhaps.. depends on what you want to learn
[13:33] <waperboy> somtimes when I'm using StumbleUpon, I stumble upon some neat pages, like "10 onliners a unix admin can't live without" or some such
[13:33] <waperboy> goldmine ;)
[13:33] <Dr_Willis> I got a whole 'set' of the PERL books for like $10  from oreail
[13:33] <waperboy> *oneliners
[13:34] <misk> hmm
[13:34] <Quantum_Ion> Computer Books are usually the most expensive books in the store and they become outdated quickly
[13:34] <misk> highly appreciated.
[13:34] <misk> Thank you. Dr. :)
[13:35] <Scriptorium> hey
[13:35] <Scriptorium> hi all
[13:35] <itaylor57> I accept the use of bash as the main shell, but I have ksh on my system for when I want to use my preferred shell
[13:35] <g0rby> learning perl and  bash at same time is quite cool
[13:35] <wrx> bash
[13:35] <Scriptorium> perl is a nice programming language
[13:35] <waperboy> something I should learn
[13:36] <waperboy> never get around to it
[13:36] <misk> I've been into some automation in services, related to Core Networks.
[13:36] <misk> I know some basics about it, but need to grasp it once and for all :)
[13:36] <misk> I'm going for bash+.pl

[13:37] <sobersabre> hi.
[13:37] <Scriptorium> hi sober
[13:37] <sobersabre> I am on maverick (10.10)
[13:38] <sobersabre> the machine sometimes "gets stuck" in graphic mode.
[13:38] <twiky> Hi guys
[13:38] <sobersabre> I suspect it might have bad X configuration.
[13:38] <itaylor57> sobersabre: are you using compiz?
[13:38] <sobersabre> itaylor57: I'd love to disable it too.
[13:38] <g0rby> is there a package for a special OS/X ripoff pannel thing, or do i just need to set a pannel up in a fancy way?
[13:38] <StarZtorm> Whats the difference between Ubuntu 10.10 and 10.04 ? (other than that the .04 is supported for longer?)
[13:38] <sobersabre> it's nvidia card though. should work.
[13:38] <twiky> Howto extract a PDF document page per page (1.pdf, 2.pdf, ..., 10.pdf, ...) with pdftk ? Or another tool
[13:38] <wp4nuv> Hello all, is anyone having trouble connecting to MSN via Empathy recently?
[13:39] <cdavis> Where does the nm-applet store settings? I have somehow added a wireless network that I cannot delete
[13:39] <sobersabre> so the question is how do I cause the system to reconfigure X once again.
[13:39] <sipior> twiky: the pdftk man page is pretty thorough. is something not working as you expect?
[13:39] <twiky> sipior: I don't find the option to do it :-/
[13:39] <itaylor57> sobersabre: you can reset your gnome config
[13:40] <Octav> hi all
[13:40] <sobersabre> itaylor57: how do I do this ?
[13:40] <sobersabre> I want to also reset GDM settings.
[13:40] <crm_> cdavis : I think "/etc/NetworkManager"
[13:40] <twiky> sipior: It's ok to create a PDF from others but seperate a document page per page :/
[13:40] <sipior> twiky: have a look at "burst"
[13:40] <itaylor57> sobersabre: http://linuxfud.wordpress.com/2007/02/14/how-to-reset-ubuntugnome-settings-to-defaults-without-re-installing/
[13:40] <madurax86> i have an internal mic in my laptop and theres only one audio port in it in windows it asks what i plugged in when i plug something in(mic, headset, headphone) and i need to use a headset in linux how can i do it?
[13:40] <sobersabre> itaylor57: I have no X... would this link work in text ?
[13:41] <sipior> twiky: the burst entry in the pdftk man page gives a few examples.
[13:41] <itaylor57> sobersabre: hang on I will find the command
[13:41] <cdavis> crm_: thanks, but nothing is there. Is this where if I save a wireless network the actual config should be?
[13:41] <itaylor57> !reset
[13:42] <Gangrel> I installed ubuntu 10.10 alongside with windows 7 but when i boot there is no grub

[13:42] <Fjodor> Hi all. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/+bug/650539?comments=all is reported as fixed, but it isn't for me. Does anyone else see that?

[13:43] <StarZtorm> Is there a way to order a program to open a file in the Terminal? (like having Videolan opening a mp3 or avi file?
[13:43] <cdavis> crm_: I found it, it was a Bluetooth connection I had played with
[13:44] <itaylor57> bazhang: yea there is a command to the bot todisplay the gnome reset but I have forgottenit
[13:44] <jussi> StarZtorm: so you want to start the vlc gui with some file?
