[19:50] <enathu> RottNKorpse: How can I create an image of my current installation settings? Is there any other apps like Remastersys Backup available?
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> stefanos: sudo update-grub
[19:51] <intrader> ActionParsnip, how inconvenient for FAT volumes
[19:51] <GreenBoss> RottNKorpse: everything else seems good
[19:51] <Guest94785> does anybody know how to install the flash plugin for firefox
[19:51] <enathu> RottNKorpse: Thanks for the link. I am checking it now..
[19:51] <E0> Hello everyone!
[19:51] <Dramatic> What is the problem? I get: "Marking TSC unstable due to: check_tsc_sync_source failed." when trying to install Ubuntu Server 10.10 on an x86 machine.
[19:51] <RottNKorpse> Guest94785 please use a better nick next and do you have 32bit or 64bit
[19:51] <ilovefairuz> !flash | Guest94785
[19:52] <e0> sorry
[19:52] <e0> i have 32bit
[19:52] <RottNKorpse> then as the bot said click that link
[19:52] <RottNKorpse> 64bit is the only part it gets complicated
[19:53] <annecy> i enabled fluxbox and i would like to get back to normal. i can choose failsafe gnome from the login menu but choosing GNOME sends me back to fluxbox. I try to disable automatic login in gdmsetup but I cannot unlock the window
[19:53] <RottNKorpse> wlecome enathu it should solve it for you and it will enable you to save it wherever you want including an external drive or a flashdrive if you have one big enough
[19:54] <RottNKorpse> annecy thats interesting...it sends you back to fluxbox odd
[19:54] <krunal> someone tell me why ubuntu web browsing is so slow
[19:54] <enathu> RottNKorpse: but, the post seems to describe how to make the clone of hard drive. Do you think, which can able me to restore my current installation to install another machine as it is?
[19:54] <RottNKorpse> krunal because you internet is slow
 thank you
[19:54] <ilovefairuz> krunal: this is unrelated to ubuntu itself, it could be your connection speed or DNS  settings
[19:54] <krunal> no RottNKorpse  my internet is far from slow
[19:55] <annecy> RottnKorpse: maybe  it's because i logged into it as "Blank" user?
[19:55] <RottNKorpse> enathu a clone is an exact copy of your current install so yea in theory
[19:55] <e0> sorry again, i've used IRC long time ago last time and this is a new client for me, I don't see the link, can you forward it pls?
[19:55] <krunal> how come my windows computers surf the web blazing fast
[19:55] <RottNKorpse> annecy that is questionable indeed
[19:56] <RottNKorpse> you could try loading into gnome safe and then uninstalling fluxbox
[19:56] <RottNKorpse> but I've never seen that happen before so cant guarantee it will work
[19:56] <enathu> indeed RottNKorpse but is that clone can not be a image to install the system later on the system? isn't it? Does the clone will act as live cd? #curious
[19:57] <trollboy> what is the defacto vpn system for ubuntu?
[19:57] <Dramatic> Some IBM Server gurus here?
[19:57] <ilovefairuz> Dramatic: /join #ubuntu-server
[19:57] <itissid> Hey
[19:57] <RottNKorpse> Krunal what are you using to surf on bot
[19:57] <RottNKorpse> both
[19:58] <annecy> RottnKorpse: that's what i think. i saw something else kilall -HUP gdm. also startgnome but that don't work for me
[19:58] <itissid> I see an error saying unknown command export_symbol on boot and it drops me into a grub shell
[19:58] <itissid> Ubuntu 64bit 10.10

[19:59] <RottNKorpse> enathu not sure if it makes a live or not
[19:59] <itissid> Any help here appreciated
[19:59] <krunal> RottNKorpse, i've used chrome, firefox, chromium, ephiphany
[19:59] <litone> az
[19:59] <enathu> RottNKorpse: any way, thank you for your cool yet speedy responses.  I am getting an error in wine saying i need it
[20:00] <RottNKorpse> are you dual booting or is ubuntu the only os?
[20:00] <RottNKorpse> brianBTB what are you trying to run or install that asks for that
[20:00] <itissid> RottNKorpse, I am dual booting I installed linux after the windows

[20:03] <ActionParsnip> e0: try there boot options: i8024.reset and/or i8024.nomux=1 and/or irpo
[20:03] <realcooluser> Best way to backup a windows drive that has two partitions onto another hard drive so I can restore it later if something bad happens.  (best is defined as fastest, without saving too much useless space)
[20:03] <RottNKorpse> krunal how slow is slow
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> irqpoll ,sorry
[20:03] <brianBTB> thanks guys. will look at link and at #winehq
[20:03] <ActionParsnip> realcooluser: dd to make a directimage
[20:03] <techlife> new to irc..is this the window that I can get some support for ubuntu remix on a eeepc notebook?
[20:04] <Dramatic> I get: "Marking TSC unstable due to: check_tsc_sync_source failed." when trying to install 10.10 server on a MultiCPU system. Any clue?
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> techlife: sure is
[20:04] <krunal> RottNKorpse, 10 seconds to connect (before the page starts to load)
[20:04] <techlife> kool
[20:04] <RottNKorpse> Dramatic go to the #ubuntu-server channel
[20:04] <ActionParsnip> Dramatic: did you md5 test the file you downloaded?
[20:04] <realcooluser> ActionParsnip, I have used dd before, I was hoping for something that would ignore the unused stuff, but I guess I'll just back it all up.
[20:04] <Dramatic> RottNKorpse: On this server?
[20:04] <itissid> RottNKorpse, Any idea how i may fix this mess...
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> realcooluser: you could rsync the data to another partition
[20:05] <RottNKorpse> Dramatic it is but Action may be able to help you smart cookie
[20:05] <ActionParsnip> realcooluser: fast and dirty ;) data only
[20:05] <techlife> so i just installed ubuntu remix maverick on a eeepc 1005hab model..everything seems to be working out fine except for the webcam..does anyone know if the web cam is supported or suggestions on getting it to work?
[20:06] <RottNKorpse> techlife is that a netbook?
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> techlife: run: lsusb ,websearch for the 8 character hexid to find guides
[20:06] <fundus__> hi, is there a ubuntu install cd (preferable usb stick) that can configure LUKS encrypted FDE?
[20:06] <techlife> yeah
[20:06] <techlife> i would hate to have to go back to xp
[20:06] <techlife> but for my daughter so webcam is needed
[20:06] <ActionParsnip> !netbook | techlife
[20:06] <techlife> eeepc 1005hab model
[20:07] <sympt0m> i have the 1015pe
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> techlife: the lsusb output will help you
[20:07] <techlife> netbook
[20:07] <RottNKorpse> krunal 10 seconds is slow and you have tested webkit stuff so that is weird for that to happen
[20:07] <techlife> was the web cam automatically detected and working out the box?
[20:07] <sympt0m> is perl installed on 10.10 by default?>'
[20:07] <RottNKorpse> krunal it could be a bad install in the partition /// hopefully you did do a partition and not an install on top of windows , ubuntu can do that but not a good idea
[20:08] <krunal> RottNKorpse, how do i completley uninstall ephipahny?
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> techlife: install and run cheese. Do you see yourself?
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> !info perl
[20:08] <techlife> cheese already installed but device not detected
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> sympt0m: yes, looks that way
[20:08] <RottNKorpse> krunal a regular remove in Software Center is a complete uninstall
[20:08] <sympt0m> mmkay thanks
[20:08] <RottNKorpse> linux doesnt work like windows and leave pointless leftover crap
[20:08] <krunal> RottNKorpse,  i made a new partition (resized windows partition)  only thing is i didnt create swap space
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> techlife: then lsusb for you, also websearch: ubuntu netbook ,there is an official doc on some netbooks, yours maybelisted
[20:09] <ActionParsnip> Shishire: please don't away like that in future
[20:09] <RottNKorpse> itissid dude completely forgot what your mess was hold on
[20:10] <trollboy> what is the defacto vpn system for ubuntu?
[20:10] <techlife> ActionParsnip: i did run lsusb and a bunch of stuff listed but not really sure if the web cam is listed. i also googled but couldn't find anything for this model
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> !vpn | trollboy
[20:10] <Shishire> ActionParsnip, I'll see if I can get bip to turn that off for a single network.  It's an auto-thingy, hold on, lemme see what I can do.
[20:10] <ActionParsnip> techlife: try each id in turn, you can ignore the "linux hub" lines
[20:11] <RottNKorpse> itissid did you install ontop of windows or on a separate partition
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> Shishire: cool, thanks :)
[20:11] <manuel_> when i boot up i go to the post screen and on to a command prmopt to ask my username and pw.... how do i get into the gui from there?
[20:11] <vic20gmr> wuold someone tell me what channel name for linux mint is [assuming there is one here
[20:11] <itissid> Hey I installed linux64 bit on an empty partition, windows was already there, after updates ran on ubuntu i rebooted it said "unknown commnd export_symbol" and then dropped me into a grub shell
[20:11] <ActionParsnip> manuel_: run: startx
[20:11] <Pici> !mintsupport | vic20gmr
[20:11] <itissid> Can some one please tell me what to do in this case?
[20:11] <techlife> ActionParsnip: r u saying google each id?
[20:11] <sl33k_> what shortcut to rightclick without a mouse?
[20:11] <RottNKorpse> krunal swap shouldnt have to be made for that it should be able to do that itself in its own partition if you made it large enough how big is the partition
[20:11] <manuel_> ok well next time i boot up and if i see the command prompt ill try that command thanks
[20:11] <techlife> ActionParsnip: to find out what it is?
[20:11] <krunal> RottNKorpse, 40gb
[20:12] <trollboy> thanks ActionParsnip
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> techlife: if that's your search tool of choice, sure

[20:12] <techlife> ActionParsnip: do i have any easier other options?
[20:12] <vic20gmr> ubot i fig'd its not supported, but thenagain, that wasnt my question, where the support was, is my question, and ill goto irc.spot...
[20:12] <root> huhu
[20:12] <ActionParsnip> techlife: yes, one will be the cam, its attached to the usb bus
[20:12] <krunal> RottNKorpse, my ephiphany is crashing btw...i open it and i cant browse..when i go to browse ..the screen turns grey. I tried to remove it and reinstall - same issue

[20:12] <petros1> init.tcl or tclConfig.sh file in that directory. (Usual TCL_LIBRARY is /usr/lib/tcl8.4.)
[20:12] <sl33k_> what shortcut to rightclick without a mouse?
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> techlife: could websearch the model in conjunction with ubuntu to find guides maybe
[20:13] <petros1> i installed tcl through synaptic
[20:13] <RottNKorpse> yea that is large enough....has it been slow the whole time or did it start recently...meaning on the fresh install was it slow
[20:13] <ActionParsnip> sl33k_: menu, its on the same row as space and isn't super, alt or ctrl
[20:13] <RottNKorpse> techlife do you know what model it is?
[20:14] <techlife> ActionParsnip: 1005hab
[20:14] <_16BitSubsystem_> Help available at !Mr. Default
[20:14] <techlife> ActionParsnip: the listing for the lsusb is jibirish

[20:22] <Demonicangels> just wondering if anyone can answer this for me. i have windows vista installed with ubuntu, if i upgrade windows vista to windows 7 do i have to run any special command in terminal in order to boot to windows 7?
[20:23] <DonaldShimoda> Demonicangels, nop
[20:23] <RottNKorpse> techlife that will create an html file of your hardware info of the comp in your home folder it should tell you what kind of webcam it is
[20:23] <Demonicangels> cool thanks
[20:24] <RottNKorpse> Pindakaas this might help http://www.darkcoding.net/software/setting-up-munin-on-ubuntu/
[20:24] <dans326> never really thought I would ask this but is there a easy way to revert a dual boot (ubuntu/vista) setup back to vista only including removing grub and resetting partition to full size?
[20:24] <Pindakaas> thank you rottnkorpse i will look into that
[20:24] <nico888> Life as a Bot is boring. SAVE ME!
[20:25] <RottNKorpse> nico888 hold alt+f2 and shall be saved
[20:25] <iRath96> Lol
[20:25] <nico888> Ahaha, how funny.
[20:25] <hex45> dans326 - use vista cd to repair and thus get MBR to install again
[20:25] <vatar> I'm having trouble with a gnome window showing up as approx. 10x10px
[20:25] <hex45> and then use ubuntu live cd to delete ubuntu partition
[20:26] <dans326> what if its a laptop that never came with a vista boot cd ?
[20:26] <nico888> Stupid Human >.<
[20:26] <RottNKorpse> dans326 yup have to use the vista cd although not sure why you would want to but ok
[20:26] <RottNKorpse> it did come with one like a dell repair disc or something
[20:26] <nico888> Do we have to discuss this again, Human?
[20:26] <rod_> exit
[20:26] <krunal> RottNKorpse, its been slow the entire time
[20:26] <RottNKorpse> not a full one cd sure but it had to come with something...its the law :)
[20:26] <nico888> I say yes. Respect my Authority!
[20:26] <nicola> hi
[20:26] <nico888> Dont greet me.
[20:27] <_16BitSubsystem_> vatar: which problem?
[20:27] <dans326> ubuntu version = 7 and laptop has been demoted to hulu/netflix media center for tv and I had no luck getting the media center remote working in ubuntu
[20:27] <RottNKorpse> vatar what window
[20:27] <Rick_Deckard> well maybe a bit offtopic but how can i create a irc channel?
[20:27] <vatar> rottnkorpse : thunderbird, fresh install.
[20:27] <hex45> dans326 - http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Recovering+the+Vista+Bootloader+with+EasyBCD
[20:27] <itissid> Hey I ask again as the window has scrolled a bit. I installed  Ubuntu 64 bit on an empty partition, windows was already there, after updates ran on ubuntu i rebooted it said "unknown commnd export_symbol" and then dropped me into a grub shell. Now to fix grub what do i do?
[20:27] <nico888> What Have I Done to Deserve This?
[20:27] <_16BitSubsystem_> vatar: the installation window?
[20:27] <vatar> i tried starting in debug mode' but nothing shows up
[20:28] <RottNKorpse> vatar go to the corner until it turns into an arrow and just stretch it out
[20:28] <vatar> RottNKorpse: thanks, that doesnt help
[20:29] <vatar> _16Bitsubsystem: no, pass that. the normal startup
[20:29] <techlife> ActionParsnip: thnx for that command..real handy..unfortunately it lists all the usb connections but no indication which one belongs to the webcam
[20:29] <RottNKorpse> Rick_Deckard you have to go to one of the server sites...like freenode and they have guides that explain it
[20:29] <RottNKorpse> Rick_Deckard quick explanation is go into the channel and then claim it but yea there is a but more to it than that :)
[20:30] <DonaldShimoda> Demonicangels, nop
[20:30] <DonaldShimoda> somebody knows where save configuration hamster applet?
[20:30] <Rick_Deckard> hehe thank you :)

[20:36] <nico888> No is such a harsh Word. And you are wrong btw, stupid Human.
[20:36] <_16BitSubsystem_> MylesTheGreat: what happened?
[20:36] <yxz97> I solve following this forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=640158
[20:36] <krunal> RottNKorpse, yes..access a win7 computer that is sharing folders
[20:37] <MylesTheGreat> Well, I am trying now, Sadly my computer is slow
[20:37] <RottNKorpse> mike160 lts means long term support meaning that it will receive updates just as long as 10.10 but no it is not better although some like to stick to only lts because of the support stuff
[20:37] <_16BitSubsystem_> MylesTheGreat: well
[20:37] <_16BitSubsystem_> don't worry
[20:37] <nico888> Dont do this! Dont do that! Cmon, are you my mother?!
[20:37] <RottNKorpse> krunal so shared folders on the network not like remote access screensharing
[20:37] <nico888> Nope
[20:38] <krunal> RottNKorpse, right
[20:38] <RottNKorpse> krunal sounds like your network settings are off somewhere because if it cant even do local stuff then it probably has to do with that
[20:38] <nico888> Harhar
[20:38] <Pici> nico888: This is a support channel, if aren't supporting or asking for support then you can join #ubuntu-offtopic to chat.

[20:39] <jymere> it's an exercice of langage's theory: I have the grammar with the rules: S -> SS | a. I want to calculate the number of left derivation in order to obtain a^n.

[20:41] <eadric> doe anyone here know how to bypass a version check in dpkg
[20:41] <ikonia> eadric: why would you want to do that ?
[20:41] <trijntje> RottNKorpse, thats not it, I want to put a live stream from my webcam on my website
[20:41] <RottNKorpse> Win7's sharing system is COMPLETELY different from xp and vista...they wont even connect to each other if you use the Win7 new easy system
[20:41] <krunal> RottNKorpse, i have a lot of media on that win7 computer that i'dl ike to share
[20:41] <MylesTheGreat> You are swearing, Please Don't
[20:41] <techlife> ActionParsnip: thnx for all ur help but i don't think that we are going to have any luck with this..I will just have through xp back on there..thnx anyways..
[20:41] <RottNKorpse> trijntje that is it...you sign up and start streaming and embed the stream on your site
[20:42] <eadric> I want to install a python module from a .deb file that says its for P 2.6 or lower
[20:42] <MylesTheGreat> Hello Again
[20:42] <eadric> I have 2.6.6
[20:42] <krunal> RottNKorpse, okay so what are my options
[20:42] <ikonia> eadric: so bypassing the version check would be very dangerous

[20:42] <ikonia> MylesTheGreat: it's a bot
[20:42] <lorenzorota_> Hi
[20:42] <RottNKorpse> MylesTheGreat who is swearing?
[20:42] <eadric> ok I'll live on the edge then :-)
[20:43] <MylesTheGreat> Someone said 'OH CRAP' which i find dis-respectful
 OH CRAP....krunal you are using Win 7 cant believe that slipped my mind
[20:43] <lorenzorota_> Hey
[20:43] <ikonia> MylesTheGreat: lets move on
[20:43] <trijntje> RottNKorpse, I stand corrected, thanks again
[20:43] <RottNKorpse> Krunal i am not sure as you will have to google to see if someone has made a bridge for the new win7 system
[20:43] <RottNKorpse> krunal or you could use a media server to send out the files for streaming like tversity or etc depending on the type of files you want to share
[20:44] <RottNKorpse> MylesTheGreat lmao you consider crap a curse word? then crap my bad
[20:44] <RottNKorpse> trijntje welcome
[20:44] <dans326> is there a command line tool that will give me the specs of the hardware my server is running on ?
[20:44] <krunal> RottNKorpse, i have a couple media servers running on the win7 machien > what program on ubunutu allows me to view media serversr on the network?
[20:44] <ikonia> RottNKorpse: lets drop it and move on please
[20:45] <eadric> ikonia, am i to understand that it can be done, but is not recommended
[20:45] <RottNKorpse> ikonia I'm right so no need to drop plus he left lol
[20:45] <RottNKorpse> krunal I am not sure what media servers are cross platform I know tversity isnt or wasnt at least they might be now...but with tversity for example you can still use the files through a webbrowser
[20:46] <mike160> does anyone know how to uninstall ubuntu 10.10 from a external hard drive

[20:51] <e0> I'm frustrated, I've believed Ubuntu community is a great place to find support, now I see it is wrong
[20:55] <itissid> Hey I posted a question earlier I am in some serious trouble with GRUB on ubuntu 10.10. Could someone point me in the right direction atleast here...
[20:55] <itissid>  I installed  Ubuntu 64 bit on an empty partition, windows was already there, after updates ran on ubuntu i rebooted it said "unknown commnd export_symbol" and then dropped me into a grub shell. Now to fix grub what do i do?
[20:55] <KB1JWQ> itissid: Edit your grub config I would think.

[20:59] <Daghdha> Hi, i have a unlocked 3 core AMD that should use 4. How can i tell in ubunty that it's using 4?
[20:59] <ikonia> Daghdha: cat /proc/cpuinfo will list the ammount of cores, count them
[21:00] <erUSUL> Daghdha: if they are active then it should be using them 4
[21:01] <Daghdha> cpu_cores: 3
[21:01] <Daghdha> :(
[21:01] <ikonia> Daghdha: dont forget it starts at 0, which means 0 = 1, 1 = 2, etc
[21:01] <Daghdha> i assume the value: cpu_cores: 3  means there are 3
[21:01] <noelito> I am having a problem on Ubuntu 10.04 where the MeMenu appears twice, one in the correct spot and the other is over the power button on the right side of the panel. This only happens some times after a reboot.

[21:11] <NoirSoldats> Is there any way to get three monitors working in Ubuntu using the nvidia driver or a way to tell if it not working is because of my video adaptor in my laptop?

[21:16] <bigdad1e> ikonia: i downloaded gadmin-dhcpd and it wont even acticeate the server
[21:16] <ikonia> bigdad1e: ok, I'm going to give you a guide, have a look through it (epsecially troubleshooting) see if anything looks obviously wrong

[21:20] <Daghdha> yes mdadm
[21:20] <ikonia> Daghdha: that's pretty messy
[21:20] <ikonia> Daghdha: can you modprobe that after the box has booted ?
[21:20] <ikonia> bigdad1e: thats a mistake in your config file, you need to setup the network and subnet data properly
[21:21] <Daghdha> It don't boot properly
[21:21] <ikonia> Daghdha: I suspected as much, can you use an older kernel and see if it works ?
[21:21] <bigdad1e> ikonia: how do i do that?
[21:21] <ikonia> bigdad1e: pastebin your config

[21:22] <bigdad1e> ikonia: http://paste.ubuntu.com/535350/
[21:22] <ikonia> Daghdha: can you boot from an older kernel
[21:24] <ikonia> bigdad1e: your options have to sit within your subnet range
[21:24] <ikonia> bigdad1e: you have options then a subnet
[21:24] <bigdad1e> ikonia: you lost me lol
[21:25] <bigdad1e> ikonia: see where your talking about
[21:25] <ikonia> bigdad1e: see here you have subnet <IP_ADDRESS> netmawk <IP_ADDRESS> {
[21:25] <bigdad1e> ikonia: yes
[21:26] <Daghdha> i can select a recovery mode (Disabled the 4th core again) see what happens
[21:26] <Daghdha> works
[21:26] <ikonia> bigdad1e: so thats saying "give out these addresses, with these options, but your options (option domain-name "yourdomainname.com"; for example is above the { brackets
[21:26] <ikonia> bigdad1e: so there are no options assigned to your subnet, but the options are also on there own, not matched to a subnet
[21:26] <justin__> yhello]
[21:26] <Daghdha> i disabled 4th core and now it boots fine
[21:26] <bigdad1e> ikonia: range <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>;    = range <IP_ADDRESS>---
[21:27] <AntonioBlob> hi, i need to install x.h, xuitl.h, xtest.h, how is the package named?
[21:27] <Daghdha> isn't that special?
[21:27] <ikonia> bigdad1e: I know what it means, I'm explaining why the options are not associated
[21:27] <bigdad1e> ikonia: i know you know what it means. is that what you are telling me to change?
[21:27] <ikonia> Daghdha: looks like enabling the core is causing you a problem
[21:27] <justin__> hola
[21:27] <ikonia> yes
[21:27] <Daghdha> Oh realy professor ;)
[21:28] <Daghdha> I wonder why, i had it unlocked befor on freebsd and freenas
[21:28] <bigdad1e> ikonia: sorry for interrupting
[21:28] <ikonia> Daghdha: I imagine it's bringing the same instability as overclocking
[21:28] <Daghdha> let's not turn it on again ok?
[21:28] <Daghdha> :P
[21:28] <Daghdha> and pretend it never happened..

[21:31] <bigdad1e> ikonia: which option should i use
[21:31] <ikonia> the options you have set above
[21:31] <ikonia> put them within the subnet brackets

[21:37] <ikonia> bigdad1e: you open the brackets { and you put the options between the open and close brackets for the subnet
[21:37] <ikonia> abhi1234: it means your using a proxy that requires authentication, and you're not offering up the right username/password

[21:38] <abhi1234> i set in n/w proxy

[21:52] <parolang`> AntonioBlob: What's the difference between apt-cache and aptitude?
[21:52] <coz_> smast,   also  sudo apt-get install  compiz-fusion-plugins-extra
[21:52] <bike> anybody tried rc-3 with the autogroups patch?
[21:52] <turgon> hello any ncmpcpp user here?
[21:52] <bike> i get a black screen
[21:53] <bike> after some boot attemptage
[21:53] <root_> !LIST
[21:53] <coz_> !nick
[21:53] <coz_> !message
[21:53] <smast> thanks millions coz
[21:53] <AntonioBlob> i don't know
[21:53] <nutz> aloha everyone
[21:53] <coz_> smast,   if you need help configureing compiz  meet me in #compiz channel
[21:54] <skrewla> I'm having trouble adding locales.  I need to add pretty much every single one.  In Debian I can just do dpkg-reconfigure locales .. is there something in Ubuntu that will do the same?
[21:54] <parolang`> AntonioBlob: I basically use aptitude for everything.  Never heard of apt-cache.  Will google.
[21:54] <turgon> hello any mpd user here?
[21:54] <bike> anybody tried 2.6.37-rc-3 with the autogroups patch? i get a black screen around fsck
[21:54] <nutz> i just upgraded a friends computer from 10.04 to 10.10 and now i get constant hard-hangups, like so: EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro,commit=600     .. is this a known problem?
[21:54] <Lyrithya> Hi, quick question - how can I get ubuntu to tell me which distribution it is from an ssh terminal?
[21:54] <coz_> turgon,   mpd?  metropolitan police depfatment ? :)
[21:54] <AntonioBlob> parolang aptitude has an interactive user interface, apt is a simple command line tool
[21:55] <bike> nutz, did you do a update-manager -d ?
[21:55] <parolang`> AntonioBlob: aptitude is both interactive and command line
[21:55] <ikonia> nutz: that's not an error
[21:55] <AntonioBlob> yes
[21:55] <coz_> parolang`,   the command would be  sudo apt-cache  search nameofpackage  for example
[21:55] <nutz> ikonia: seems like an error to me!
[21:55] <ikonia> nutz: it's not
[21:55] <parolang`> AntonioBlob: From the man page (http://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-cache): apt-cache does not manipulate the state of the system but does provide operations to search and generate interesting output from the package metadata.
[21:55] <nutz> bike:  what does that do?
[21:55] <ikonia> it's stating what would happen on error
[21:55] <parolang`> AntonioBlob: So I'd be careful with that one ;)
[21:55] <turgon> coz_, haha no :P dunno what it stands for but its a music decoder i think
[21:56] <lhavelund> What's the library to run 32-bit libraries in x64?
[21:56] <nutz> noo.. it's saying that EXT4 just got remountet readonline
[21:56] <coz_> turgon,  ah ok hold on let mecheck
[21:56] <nutz> *only
[21:56] <bike> nutz, upgrades the distro
[21:56] <lhavelund> ia32libs or somthing along those lines, but I forget the exact name
[21:56] <lhavelund> apt-cache search turns up nothing.
[21:56] <parolang`> coz_: I just do: sudo aptitude search nameofpackage
[21:56] <turgon> coz_ music player daemon
[21:56] <nutz> bike: but.. i don't wanna go to 11.04
[21:56] <bike> strangely it found more packages to upgrade then apt-get dist-upgrade
[21:56] <AntonioBlob> apt-cache only find the package with the name given
[21:56] <ikonia> nutz: on a boot, the file system is mounted read only, then re-mounted read write
[21:56] <ikonia> nutz: then you sholdn't have used update-manager -d
[21:56] <bigdad1e> ikonia: now i get this /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf line 37: expecting a parameter or declaration
[21:56] <bike> i did that upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10
[21:56] <coz_> turgon,  mm this is an old old post...but most of it should be ok   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=5194
[21:57] <nutz> i upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 deliberately
[21:57] <ikonia> bigdad1e: upgrade manager -d won't upgrade you to 10.10 - it will take you to 11.04
[21:57] <AntonioBlob> anyway man aptitude and you can read all about aptitude
[21:57] <coz_> turgon,   also    http://www.webupd8.org/2010/09/how-to-add-mpd-to-ubuntu-sound-menu.html
[21:57] <ikonia> nutz: sorry upgrade-manager -d will take you to 11.04
[21:57] <nutz> i know - i don't want that
[21:57] <ikonia> nutz: you've done it though
[21:57] <bigdad1e> ikonia: that was for gadmin-0dhcpd
[21:58] <bike> uh, it should take you to 10.10?
[21:58] <ikonia> bike: no, -d is development version, which is 11.04
[21:58] <NoirSoldats> Is there any way to get three monitors working in Ubuntu using the nvidia driver or a way to tell if it not working is because of my video adaptor in my laptop?
[21:58] <bike> aaa
[21:58] <nutz> ikonia: no, bike recommended it - i'm on 10.10
[21:58] <turgon> coz_, i have a problem using ncmpcpp which uses mpd... the problem is in fixing the sound from within ncmpcpp
[21:58] <nutz> ikonia: also: the EXT4 happens in my syslog long after the system has booted
[21:58]  * parolang` stays on 10.04 for now.
[21:58] <goltoof_> code to convert every image in a dir from tiff to png, without replacing?
[21:59] <coz_> turgon, see if this helps    http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/ncmpcpp-ncurses-mpd-client-shell-music.html
[21:59] <turgon> coz_, aigh... let me check
[21:59] <bike> ikonia, can i expect a somewhat stable os on 11.04?
[21:59] <ikonia> bike: no
[22:00] <coz_> turgon,  also  http://www.webupd8.org/2010/02/fix-mpd-from-git-local-connection.html
[22:00] <linxeh> bike: 11.04 will be stable in april 2011
[22:00] <bike> ok
[22:00] <turgon> coz_, i read this before... and i actually used this config file ( a part from the colors :P ) but still noothing
[22:00] <coz_> turgon,   I am using this search string in google        ubuntu 10.10 problem using ncmpcpp mpd
[22:00] <bike> i guess i should probably fix the stability issues im already having with this thinkpad edge before doing something strange like that ... before the GF kills me
[22:01] <nutz> ikonia: thanks anyways
[22:01] <parolang`> I'm starting to get into the habit of upgrading a release behind the latest.
[22:01] <parolang`> Maybe I should go back to debian in that case.
[22:01] <skrewla> anyone know of a script or something that will install all locales onto my ubuntu box?
[22:02] <goltoof_> code to convert every image in a dir from tiff to png, without replacing?
[22:02] <Doinkle> bike, you need a gf that has forgotten more about linux than most of us know. :P
[22:02] <bike> parolang`, debian oldstable? :D
[22:02] <goltoof_> or any image format from one to another
[22:02] <st__> parolang , it's your choice
[22:02] <bigdad1e> ikonia: now i get this /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf line 37: expecting a parameter or declaration  how do i fix it
[22:02] <Doinkle> goltoof_, magicimage
[22:02] <Lemmiwinks> Hi! I would like to install Kubuntu next to my Ubuntu on a different partition. Where at the installation process can I select not to install a boot loader, as I want to continue using the one from my first installation?
[22:02] <brontoeee> goltoof_, i have something in nautilus scripts folder
[22:02] <coz_> skrewla,  not a script but found this    http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-select-and-generate-locales-on-ubuntu.html
[22:02] <bike> Doinkle, hehem
[22:02] <goltoof_> Doinkle: yes, that's the one.. no idea how i forgot it
[22:02] <parolang`> bike: Well...the reason I went to Ubuntu was because I was tired of Debian always using old software.  But...maybe there's good reason for that.
[22:02] <Doinkle> goltoof_, oops.. imagemajick
[22:03] <goltoof_> :)
[22:03] <brontoeee> goltoof_, untested and i dont know where i get that, want it?
[22:03] <remorseful> Lemmiwinks, at the very last page, before installing, there is an 'Advanced' button. Click that and unselect 'install bootloader'
[22:03] <goltoof_> brontoeee:   sure, i'll take a gander
[22:03] <st__> Lemmiwinks, first, you can have them in one partition, and secondly you can overwrite bootloader safely
[22:03] <parolang`> bike: I mean, I've had problems with Ubuntu where it wouldn't even boot after an upgrade.  That's not cool.
[22:03] <brontoeee> goltoof_, ok, hold on....
[22:03] <goltoof_> brontoeee:  not familiar with nautiulus scripts, never found the need for one rly
[22:03] <bike> yep, that happened when i upgraded from 10.4 to 1010 the initrd was screwed
[22:03] <epoch> HELP! :P  I keep getting this error when I fire up Wolfenstein Enemy-Territory: 'Analog Input: Cannot display this video mode' - Here is a pastebin of my xorg.conf file: http://pastebin.com/mxvtsHuv
[22:04] <lockersnatch> parolang`: if you are updating to 10.10, your not alone, there have been a lot of issues with it, a lot of folks went back to 10.04
[22:04] <bike> thankfully i had compiled a kernel that would boot
[22:04] <skrewla> coz_: thanks, looks like iwill have to come up with something on my own though .. nothing to just install everything=/
[22:04] <remorseful> Lemmiwinks, and yes, you can install KDE and start a KDE session before you log in so you don't have to install a whole other OS
[22:04] <Lemmiwinks> remorseful: thanks! I remembered something like that, just wanted to make sure!
[22:04] <parolang`> lockersnatch: Yeah.  I'm happy with 10.04 for now.  I'm not even sure what 10.10 offers besides an updated theme.

[22:07] <brontoeee> goltoof_, yes
[22:07] <lockersnatch> Lemmiwinks: i would suggest running kde from a livecd before performing any installs as it apparently is quite a pain to remove if you decide to
[22:07] <goltoof_> brontoeee:   sweet, now i just got to figure out how to install naut scripts (never used them)
[22:07] <st__> Ridiculous, update your package lists and use synaptic instead of that crap
[22:07] <Ridiculous> uh

[22:09] <goltoof_> "brontoeee"

[22:16] <deedee> does someone know a program, that monitors internet traffic for each application that is connected to the net? i tried trickl,
[22:17] <deedee> trickle and jnettop but not what i need...
[22:18] <NoirSoldats> Is there any way to get three monitors working in Ubuntu using the nvidia driver or a way to tell if it not working is because of my video adaptor in my laptop?
[22:18] <deedee> (something like netlimiter@windows ;-) )
[22:18] <dajhorn> Ridiculous: If you're using natty, or if you have something like maverick-proposed enabled, then just try again later.
[22:18] <f00bar80> how to use gmail a my smtp server ?
[22:19] <Ridiculous> So no one can help me? :(
[22:20] <dajhorn> Ridiculous: You are trying to install a pidgin release that is more recent than currently published in Ubuntu Maverick.  This kind of error happens when the archive mirrors aren't fully sync'd.
[22:20] <abuDawud> does anyone know what the frontend application is for ubuntu-bug?
[22:21] <Ridiculous> So then how do I install Pidgin in general?
[22:21] <abuDawud> im aware its partially apport-gtk and apport-bug but i cant find the dialog i am looking for there?
[22:21] <dajhorn> Ridiculous: Wait for the archive mirrors to sync, or used a stable supported release.
[22:22] <Pici> dajhorn: That looks like a ppa version of pidgin to me.
[22:22] <Ridiculous> Synaptic package manager wont install it
[22:23] <Ridiculous> And I have to brb
[22:23] <dajhorn> Pici: Yes, that is current for the upstream PPA.

[22:25] <DavidJHeinrich> could anyone help me with the xorg.conf for a 2560x1600 LCD ?
[22:27] <m_fulder> hello
[22:27] <dajhorn> DavidJHeinrich: Did you try the Preferences -> Monitors panel?  Did you get an error message somewhere?  What have you already tried?
[22:27] <m_fulder> hm my ubuntu comp seems to upload 0,5 -> 1 Mbps without any tasks on :S any ideas why could cause this?
[22:28] <dajhorn> m_fulder: Are you running a torrent client?
[22:28] <RichW> DavidJHeinrich, If using DVI to VGA adapter, try swaping out for another one if it cant detect the resolution.
[22:28] <DavidJHeinrich> RichW: I'm using just a straight DVI-D cable
[22:28] <DavidJHeinrich> RichW: no conversion
[22:28] <DavidJHeinrich> RichW: it seems to have defaulted to 1600x1200, instead of 2560x1600 (so its lower resolution and wrong aspect ratio, so distorted)
[22:29] <m_fulder> dajhorn,  no Im not ... not running anything on that comp
[22:29] <DSpair> Hello all.
[22:29] <RichW> DavidJHeinrich, Oh thats odd. Is it some obscure branded screen?
[22:29] <DSpair> Big problem.
[22:29] <Ridiculous> Ok back
[22:29] <m_fulder> except VNC viewer... maybe there's my problem dajhorn
[22:29] <DavidJHeinrich> RichW: its a NEC
[22:29] <DSpair> My boss did a dist-upgrade on one of the servers I set up and now I cannot get it to boot.
[22:29] <DSpair> I have booted from a live CD and I can access the LVM2 volumes.
[22:29] <RichW> DavidJHeinrich, That is weird.
[22:30] <DavidJHeinrich> RichW: the model is a NEC LCD3090WQXi-BK
[22:30] <IdleOne> DSpair: boot to the previous kernel and see if that works
[22:30] <DSpair> How can I restore GRUB? Problem I am seeing it trying to chroot to the old root says invalid executable format because I am on an i386 boot cd and the server is 64bit.
[22:30] <RichW> DavidJHeinrich, Heres a modeline you can use:   Modeline "2560x1600_60.00"  348.16  2560 2752 3032 3504  1600 1601 1604 1656  -HSync +Vsync
[22:30] <DSpair> IdleOne, Grub is faulty.
[22:30] <magn3ts> IS there no wubi for 10.10 yet?????
[22:30] <IdleOne> !grub | DSpair
[22:31] <magn3ts> !wubi
[22:31] <DSpair> IdleOne, None of those address LVM2 with GRUB.

[22:31] <avis> i have a fax over ip setup using t38modem.  it creates a valid working fax under /dev/ttys0 that can only be accessed as root.  i am using ubuntu.  i know it responds to commands because i have sudo minicom /dev/ttys0 before and it reponded to AT commands (sip v.38 fax support).  the only problem i have is under gnome's efax-gtk it cannot do anything to that device because its accessed by root only.  the t38modem command will fail if i don't run
[22:31] <avis> it as root.
[22:31] <rodrigo> DSpair i have a same problem and i format and re-instal
[22:31] <IdleOne> ahh DSpair #ubuntu-server may be of help
[22:31] <Ridiculous> hey, I fixed my problem
[22:31] <DSpair> rodrigo, Not an option.
[22:31] <m_fulder> ah yeah VNC was the problem .. anyhow thanks for your help :D
[22:31] <Ridiculous> I just needed to go into ubuntu tweak and delete pidgin.data in cleanup
[22:31] <Ridiculous> Thanks for the help also
[22:32] <dajhorn> DSpair: Why not download the 64-bit Ubuntu ISO?  -- Then your chroot command will run.
[22:32] <DavidJHeinrich> RichW: how do I get xrandr to do that?
[22:32] <mccoy> has anyone had any luck with using gnustep with ubuntu?
[22:32] <magn3ts> why is the wubi ubuntu canonical page not updated for the maverick installer.......
[22:32] <RichW> DavidJHeinrich, It needs to go into your xorg.conf I think under "Screen"
[22:32] <rodrigo> DSpair the 64-bit have grub2?
[22:33] <RichW> DavidJHeinrich, It probably more likely "Monitor"
[22:33] <fatdog> hi
[22:34] <rodrigo> hi fatdog
[22:34] <DavidJHeinrich> RichW: ok, thanks I'll look
[22:34] <fatdog> whats up?

[22:35] <tobis87> Hi, does someone know in which file the tmpfs mounting points are? I need to add some entries, in earlier versions it was in mtab.sh and mountkernfs.sh.
[22:36] <Albata79> I need to get to this century my skills seriously dated
[22:37] <coreGrl> hi
[22:37] <RichW> hello
[22:37] <ilovefairuz> tobis87: what's wrong with fstab ?
[22:37] <coreGrl> why on windows I can connect via wifi with a low signal and I can't with ubuntu? in the same place I mean.. there is a block?
[22:38] <Albata79> Whats the general protocol around here
[22:38] <Albata79> Driver Differences
[22:38] <RichW> coreGrl, Wireless can be a little buggy on Ubuntu
[22:38] <tobis87>  ilovefairuz: I want to mount folders, before it gets written to: /var/tmp; /var/spool/cups; /tmp
[22:38] <JRWR> coreGrl: Drivers... Look for a howto on impove power output on that mod
[22:39] <nexeh> I have a tricky problem. My on board sound and graphics are NVidia. I also have soundblaster soundcard installed and a ATI video card. I need some help geting this configured properly. I have had it configured correctly in the past but I had an issue where after 2 days it would revert back to using the nvidia drivers... I was told to upgrade to lucid and that completely kicked the computer so I reinstalled and never messed with it again...
[22:39] <nexeh>  but I'm ready to fight again... could i get some help?
[22:39] <ilovefairuz> tobis87: i have /tmp mounted on tmpfs in fstab and it works fine
[22:39] <RichW> nexeh, Try Maverick?
[22:40] <SlickT10> anyone have a good suggestion for bandwidth monitoring
[22:40] <nexeh> RichW omg we are already to an M! no i havn't.. im nervous to lose everything again
[22:40] <coreGrl> RichW? really? :(
[22:40] <tobis87> ilovefairuz: And I need to do other stuff as well: chgrp lp /var/spool/cups; mkdir /var/spool/cups/tmp; chmod 1770 /var/spool/cups/tmp; chgrp lp /var/spool/cups/tmp ...
[22:40] <RichW> nexeh, You said you had nvidia and ati graphics in one sentence.
[22:41] <nexeh> correct... i also said the nvidia is an onboard card
[22:41] <mneptok> nexeh: disable the built-in stuff you won;t be using in the BIOS
[22:41] <ilovefairuz> tobis87: mount stuff in /etc/fstab and add post-boot commands  to /etc/rc.local
[22:41] <RichW> coreGrl, Ok well depends on the driver.
[22:41] <dajhorn> SlickT10: The bandwidthd package will do it.  Fancier system management packages like nagios can also do it.
[22:42] <ElitestFX> does anyone know if there is an alternative for 'vbetool dpms off' via crontab to schedule powering off dual monitors?
[22:42] <nexeh> Ok, let me disable them... brb
[22:42] <ilovefairuz> tobis87: although the user and group can be set as mount options
[22:42] <st__> How to make package 'uninstalled' but so its files actually stayed untouched?
[22:42] <RichW> nexeh, Back it up?
[22:42] <ilovefairuz> st__: why would you want to do that ?
[22:43] <st__> because package manager consider them broken and tries to remove them
[22:43] <dajhorn> st__: Which package?
[22:43] <ilovefairuz> st__: then they actually are, try reinstalling: sudo apt-get install --reinstall packagename
[22:43] <tobis87> ilovefairuz: Ok, this would be an workaround. Also for folders inside the mounted vol? It already mounts /var/run for example, there has to be a file where I could add it.
[22:43] <st__> dajhorn, how's that significant?
[22:44] <dajhorn> st__: Because most people that ask this question have a 32-bit package installed on a 64-bit system.
[22:44] <st__> no they are both 32-bit, but idiot packagers messed up with dependencies
[22:45] <ilovefairuz> tobis87: you want to recreate the folders inside /var/run in memory ?
[22:45] <st__> ilovefairuz, how can I reinstall a package which is broken?
[22:45] <ilovefairuz> st__: i gave you the command
[22:46] <st__> ilovefairuz, lol, did you read what I wrote? it will never install them again, you want to bork my system??
[22:46] <tobis87> ilovefairuz: No, /var/run is only an example. This also gets mounted by some start script, which I look for. But I want to create the folder in /var/spool/cups.
[22:47] <ilovefairuz> st__: read apt-get manual and then come argue
[22:47] <Guest74674> hey guys, i installed ubuntu like a software under windows (without a new partition) and i'm wondering if there a way to have access to the windows files from ubuntu? thanks in advance
[22:47] <Guest71992> Yeah you can access you files from windows in ubuntu its easy all you have to do is mount the windows partion
[22:48] <st__> Guest74674, yes, but your file permissions will be messed up
[22:48] <newsham> hi.  when i suspend and then resume, it always asks me for my password even though i have the screensaver password setting turned off
[22:48] <st__> Guest74674, you need commercial version of ntfs-3g to work with NTFS reliably
[22:48] <newsham> is there a way to disable asking password on resume?
[22:48] <ilovefairuz> tobis87: you can execute any necessary commands in /etc/rc.local (to create directories or any other purpose) but i'm not sure if cups would be ok with starting before the directory is created
[22:49] <Guest74674> st__, from where can i have it?
[22:50] <tobis87> ilovefairuz: Yes, this is my problem... I think I will need to search for it 'grep tmpfs -r /' But thank you anyway.
[22:50] <nexeh> I'm back, my primary video is set to the PCI. there is no options to disable the onboard sound. added information: the oboard ethernet is also nvidia
[22:51] <intrader> :( Hi, a USB Fat volume has a file with shebang to bash. Its context menu properties does not allow me to change file to be executable. I have the date of the last time it worked in Maverick. What is going on?
[22:51] <st__> Guest74674, http://www.tuxera.com/
[22:51] <dajhorn> tobis87: Ubuntu does these mounts in the /etc/init/mount* files, but you shouldn't change these files.  Like ilovefairuz said, /etc/fstab is the right place to create new mounts on an Ubuntu system.  Doing things the BSD-way can break the system.
[22:51] <maco> intrader: FAT filesystems don't have executable bits
[22:51] <intrader> maco, two weeks ago they allowed this
[22:52] <st__> intrader, you need explicitly mount it with exec option
[22:52] <nbjoerg> if the installation crashes due to a partition layout, should the installer warn about it before starting the job?
[22:52] <intrader> st__, this is done recently?
[22:52] <maco> intrader: allowed changing individual files' executable status? not possible
[22:53] <maco> intrader: either teh whole volume is exec or the whole thing is noexec.
[22:53] <intrader> maco, two weeks ago the context menu showed a
[22:53] <st__> maco, lies, there's an option to make only exe-com-bat files executable
[22:53] <maco> st__: on FAT or NTFS?
[22:53] <maco> NTFS has exec
[22:53] <intrader> maco, dash '-' in the checkbox, then I could change. No longer so
[22:53] <nexeh> Can i get graphic configuration help
[22:54] <brianBTB>  hi. i am getting this error when trying to run legoracers.exe, the nodisk version. http://paste.ubuntu.com/535374/
[22:54] <brianBTB>  can anyone help?
[22:54] <nexeh> brainBTB: are you using wine?
[22:54] <brianBTB> yes
[22:54] <brianBTB> sorry
[22:54] <brianBTB> and its brian not brain
[22:54] <Guest74674> st__, thank you very much :)
[22:55] <brianBTB>  hi. i am getting this error when trying to run legoracers.exe, the nodisk version, in wine. http://paste.ubuntu.com/535374/
[22:55] <brianBTB> *
[22:55] <blackshirt> brianBTB: are you sure wine has supported it ?
[22:55] <nexeh> haha sorry...
[22:55] <brianBTB> saw some people say it works.
[22:55] <tobis87>  dajhorn: Oh thank you... Nah I will be carefull, I use Ubuntu since 6.10 and I always have a second installed in case. But what is the syntax? start on mounted MOUNTPOINT=/var/run TYPE=tmpfs <- It should start on mounted, can I add multiple MOUNTPOINT, TYPE or do I need multiple upstart files?
[22:56] <DavidJHeinrich> RichW: Thank you for your help before
[22:57] <DavidJHeinrich> RichW: adding the line "Virtual 2560 1600" underneath the Display subsection (within the Screen section) fixed the problem
[22:57] <schwazy> hi all. is it possible to create an ubuntu user account that only has access (read/write) to their own /home directory?
[22:57] <intrader> maco,st__, once I insert the usb, how to change it to exec mode? Can this be done in some gui tool?
[22:57] <DavidJHeinrich> RichW: the virtual line was defaulting to 2048x2048
[22:57] <Guest74674> exit
[22:57] <st__> intrader, try sudo udisks
[22:57] <RichW> DavidJHeinrich, No problem, I use dual screen at work with Ubuntu.
[22:57] <dajhorn> tobis87: Use the mounted-varrun file as a template.  Try not to change existing files.  If you don't understand this file, then you need to read the "upstart" documentation.
[22:58] <DavidJHeinrich> RichW: this is pretty sweet, the resolution on this 30in display
[22:58] <intrader> st__, that is not a gui command :(
[22:58] <RichW> DavidJHeinrich, Just reminder, I used this command to make your modeline: gtf 2560 1600 60
[22:58] <tobis87>  dajhorn: Ok I will do.
[22:58] <st__> intrader, linux has no useful gui
[22:58] <DavidJHeinrich> RichW: Thanks! I forgot about that, I did that stuff back when I was trying to setup a (faulty) 9-megapixel Viewsonic and my Sony GDM F520 CRT, but that was a while ago
[22:59] <RichW> DavidJHeinrich, Wow! I have 1080p 32" for desktop screen.
[23:00] <dajhorn> schwazy: Look at the jailer and various chroot packages.
[23:00] <st__> well i folloved that idiot ilovefairuz advice and 3 my packages had f...inggone!!! i habe to re-download that again, why are you allowing that idiotic advices here????!
[23:00] <DavidJHeinrich> RichW: well, the 9-megapixel Viewsonic (something like 3840x2400 resolution), never actually worked with signal :-(
[23:00] <st__> if I wanted to remove them i won't be asking ffs
[23:00] <DavidJHeinrich> RichW: but this 2560x1600 display was real easy to setup :-)...and its bigger and better-responding than a Viewsonic VP2290 anyways
[23:00] <RichW> DavidJHeinrich, That should fit a few terminal windows :)
[23:00] <intrader> st__, a couple of weeks ago I could stick the usb in, click on the .sh file, and the dialog would pop to allow me to vet the execution.
[23:01] <st__> intrader, that should be still in
[23:01] <blackshirt> brianBTB: good morning all
[23:01] <dajhorn> st__: ilovefairuz gave you sensible advice and he has a solid track record here.
[23:01] <nexeh> how do i tell if im running 86 or 64 bit ubuntu
[23:02] <brianBTB> blackshirt: ??
[23:02] <dajhorn> nexeh:  uname  --machine
[23:02] <intrader> st__, no longer works, it brings up option to open in text editor, instead of poping up the vetting dialog.
[23:02] <dajhorn> nexeh: x86_64 is 64-bit, and i386 is 32-bit
[23:02] <nexeh> dajhorn, thank you
[23:03] <dajhorn> nexeh: Welcome.  There are other ways to get information too, like lshw and lsb_release.
[23:03] <Koopa516> o.0
[23:04] <nexeh> My follow up question would be: ATI offers and 86 or 64 bit.. no 32? i have 32 of course haha
[23:04] <slide> I am getting horrible download rates in ubuntu. In windows Im getting 13Mbps, but in Ubuntu im getting 1Mbps. I have no idea why
[23:04] <littlejoey> I thought 86 was 32 bit, am I wrong?
[23:04] <krger> It is.
[23:05] <nexeh> slide, im not an expert but it has something to do with IPv4
[23:05] <intrader> st__, last time it worked Nov 10. The smalltalk image file was accessed
[23:05] <magn3ts> Nice to see that Ubuntu networking is useless in areas of overlapping ESSIDs.
[23:05] <magn3ts> still.
[23:05] <slide> nexeh, huh?
[23:05] <nexeh> slide, i googled how to turn it off
[23:05] <nexeh> slide, let me find the link
[23:05] <mneptok> nexeh: i think you mean IPv6
[23:05] <slide> oh
[23:06] <nexeh> slide, sorry i mean ipv6 to 4 : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=78143

[23:07] <slide> thanks let me see
[23:07] <st__> brianBTB, is it supposed to work?
[23:07] <intrader> st__maco, don't they wish in Iran that they had these execution restrictions in place for Stuxnet bat file?
[23:08] <nexeh> I need help configuring my ATI card please
[23:08] <slide> nexeh, i dont have an /etc/modprobe.d/aliases file
[23:08] <brianBTB> yes, but i think I might be doing something wrong. does anyone why that error might happen?
[23:08] <brianBTB>  hi. i am getting this error when trying to run legoracers.exe, the nodisk version, in wine. http://paste.ubuntu.com/535374/
[23:08] <littlejoey> nexeh what is the problem you are facing?
[23:09] <Pici> brianBTB: We really can't support applications running under wine here, thats what #winehq is for.
[23:09] <littlejoey> nexeh: first what is your ATI card?
[23:09] <nexeh> littlejoey, Well when i start up it gives me a popup that its starting in low graphics mode
[23:09] <Pici> !appdb | brianBTB also
[23:09] <brianBTB> pici ok thanks. they are not responding tho.

[23:11] <slide> nexeh, ill be back in a second, rebooting
[23:11] <nexeh> slide, k
[23:12] <st__> i suppose that pile of crap called 'radeon'
[23:12] <nexeh> littlejoey, thats where im getting stuck.... Kernel modules: radeon so im guessing radeon?
[23:12] <st__> *assume
[23:12] <littlejoey> hmm
[23:12] <nexeh> st__, haha
[23:12] <littlejoey> it should show in maybe sudo lshw?

[23:14] <slide> nexeh, initially i think it worked, hopefully it stays heh
[23:15] <intrader> st__maco, and how do I tell mount to make it executable? What is the device. Without gui it is just lame.
[23:15] <nexeh> slide, woot, happy i could help!
[23:15] <slide> :D thanks a lot hehe
[23:15] <nexeh> slide, anytime!
[23:16] <varunit> hello all
[23:16] <nexeh> littlejoey, as you can see i have all nvidia onboard... ethernet, sound, graphics, everything lol
[23:16] <littlejoey> nexeh, yeah that's what I thought, but didn't you say something about ATI?
[23:16] <blackshirt> hello
[23:16] <littlejoey> or it could have been something else
[23:16] <aybabtu> hi
[23:17] <littlejoey> I mean someone else
[23:17] <nexeh> littlejoey, yeah im really using my ATI card, which is NOT an onboard
[23:17] <aybabtu> pete and pete
[23:17] <slide> nexeh, bah spoke too soon :( back down to 1Mbps
[23:18] <nexeh> slide, dang i shoulda left victorious! haha
[23:18] <slide> hehe
[23:19] <aybabtu> ping time out
[23:19] <nexeh> slide, read this while im fixing my own issue..
[23:19] <littlejoey> ok nexeh: ic, there is no driver installed for the ATI
[23:19] <nexeh> slide, http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-disable-ipv6-in-ubuntu.html
[23:19] <intrader> st__maco, I stick the stick in the USB, the folder pops up open, I go to the File menu, and change the property from '-' to checked. I go to the .sh file, look at properties--->permissions and try to change execute, it does not allow it.
[23:19] <nexeh> littlejoey, ok what do you suggest... generic drivers?
[23:20] <littlejoey> nexeh, hang on I am looking up some suggestions for your card, I have an ATI but an older one
[23:20] <intrader> st__,maco, I stick the stick in the USB, the folder pops up open, I go to the File menu, and change the property from '-' to checked. I go to the .sh file, look at properties--->permissions and try to change execute, it does not allow it.
[23:20] <nexeh> littlejoey, the binary ones ar only available for 64bit and up.... dont think they will work ?
[23:20] <nexeh> littlejoey, ok
[23:21] <st__> intrader, because you don;t own the volume
[23:22] <st__> nexeh, the divine fglrx driver doesn't support x1300 since 2008
[23:22] <intrader> st__, so how do I become owner of volume?
[23:22] <st__> intrader, you specify it at mount time
[23:22] <nexeh> st__, im guessing that is depressing news for me? suggestions
[23:22] <buckson18> I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a seperate partition on my hard drive but now it auto boots into ubuntu instead of asking me, most of the guides I find assume you haven't installed anything yet
[23:23] <st__> nexeh, throw away that PoS and buy modern videocard
[23:23] <intrader> st__, God this is really lame, it should all be possible via the gui. How do I mount with permissions to execute?
[23:23] <st__> nexeh, even WoW doesn't work good on it already
[23:23] <littlejoey> nexeh: I would go with the radeon driver from the repos, try it out first because it is the easier one to install, not to mention that ATI put your card on the legacy list
[23:24] <nexeh> st__, normally i would have no issue with that awnser except that im not sinking any money into this comp any more and ubuntu always kicks but on old machines.. WoW screams on this machine.
[23:24] <intrader> st__, remember that as soon as I stick the USB, it become mounted (I don't even know that the device is!)
[23:24] <nexeh> littlejoey, Thanks.. i'll give it a shot... i google the instructions after dinner
[23:25] <JRWR> how good is the GMA driver for the GMA 945/950
[23:25] <st__> intrader, you have to remount it via udisks giving corresponding options
[23:25] <paddy_> ATI or Nividia
[23:25] <JRWR> paddy_: Intel
[23:25] <littlejoey> nexeh: ok no problem, it is the first thing to try I think
[23:25] <_6502_> is there a way to install a single texlive package without installing all the huge texlive-latex-extra ?
[23:26] <tobis87> dajhorn: Allmost done, http://pastebin.com/HefbCPqg I only need to change the mount options.
[23:26] <st__> _6502_, you don;t have to install it
[23:26] <littlejoey> _6502_: look up the name of the package in the repos
[23:26] <st__> _6502_, uncheck treat recommended packages as dependencies
[23:26] <intrader> st__, is it black magic to know the the device, the udisks command and its options. God this is lame.
[23:26] <paddy_> JRWR: ?
[23:27] <littlejoey> intrader: you can also look for GUI's to do that
[23:27] <JRWR> paddy_: /me is confused now...
[23:28] <intrader> littlejoey, where please?
[23:28] <_6502_> st__: sorry ? i need hyphenat ... and synaptic points me to texlive-latex-extra (only match)
[23:28] <littlejoey> intrader: you want to what mount something I believe?
[23:28] <_6502_> st__: installing 500Mb because i need 30k sounds wrong
[23:29] <st__> _6502_, use aptitude download  and then extract it with dpkg and copy out what you need
[23:30] <intrader> littlejoey, all I want is to have a .sh command that used to work when I stuck the stick into the USB and in the folder diskplay find the .sh file and open  it without the dumb open as text poping up
[23:30] <littlejoey> _6502_: you can probably download the package from a trusted latex source on the internet then install it
[23:31] <intrader> littlejoey, basically, no gui to do what I want anymore. Last time it worked was Nov 10.
[23:31] <littlejoey> intrader: hmm my linux knowledge is insufficient
[23:31] <brandonban6> the JDK in the reps is fine to install (i.e. i don't need to download it from oracle) right?
[23:32] <JRWR> What is the best filesystem for a removable drive that will only be used on linux based machines
[23:32] <intrader> littlejoey, thanks man, you tried - there is no guy that I know to do what I want anymore.
[23:32] <buckson18> I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a seperate partition on my hard drive but now it auto boots into ubuntu instead of asking me, most of the guides I find assume you haven't installed anything yet, how can I get it to ask which OS to boot?
[23:32] <tobis87> dajhorn: man mounted, did the job :-D
[23:32] <maujhsn> Hello, Can anybody give me advice about a wireless network connection glitch that I  have?
[23:33] <aeon-ltd> buckson18: hold shift or esc to get grub
[23:33] <littlejoey> well intrader: you should talk to a linux system administrator I guess, I am just a regular user
[23:33] <buckson18> aeon-ltd: will I have to do that everytime or just the first time?
[23:33] <intrader> littlejoey, I thought this list was for this purpose!. Thanks.
[23:34] <aeon-ltd> buckson18: everytime, there is a configurable timer in /boot somewhere in a config file
[23:34] <ubuntu4shane> intrader, what is the problem?
[23:34] <no--name> buckson18: get startup-manager from ubuntu software centre
[23:34] <buckson18> aeon-ltd: ok I'll look into that
[23:35] <ccallahan> Hello, It seems Ubuntu replaces my "e", top number keys, and several other keys with other keys. Any ideas? Also, my arrow keys don't work.
[23:35] <buckson18> no--name: I may check that out if i cant configure grub thanks
[23:35] <Seppoz> where is defined which drive is mounted where?
[23:35] <aeon-ltd> buckson18: the file is in /etc/default/grub
[23:35] <no--name> buckson18: it is a gui utility that will do that for oyu
[23:35] <ubuntu4shane> ccallahan, your keyboard must not be configured correctly
[23:35] <littlejoey> ccallahan: that seems to be a keyboard configuration thing, look up system preferences keyboard or something
[23:35] <aeon-ltd> buckson18: its the GRUB_TIMEOUT setting
[23:36] <ccallahan> ubuntu4shane, i checked in keyboard settings and it's correct
[23:36] <ccallahan> littlejoey, ^
[23:36] <buckson18> aeon-ltd: ok I'm pulling it up right now
[23:36] <littlejoey> ccallahan: maybe the language is not set up properly?
[23:36] <ubuntu4shane> ccallahan, if the keys aren't typing what they are supposed to then, something must be wrong
[23:36] <zetheroo1> I have Ubuntu here in the office and am trying to setup Thunderbird or Evolution to work with the resident Exchange server but neither program will connect  ...  why is this?
[23:36] <ccallahan> they do it off and on
[23:37] <ubuntu4shane> ccallahan, oooh, now that makes a differences
[23:37] <maujhsn> Hello, Can anybody give me advice about a wireless network connection glitch that I  have?
[23:37] <intrader> ubuntu4shane, until Nov 10th, I could connect a USB stick with FAT volum and navigate in the folder to a .sh file. When I clicked on the .sh file, a dialog would pop to ask me whether to execute the .sh file. and when I said yes, the Smalltalk IDE would start and execute.
[23:37] <Seppoz> by device /dev/sdb is mounted to /media/blasdsafd23fd23f2f2f2 how can i change that at boot level?
[23:38] <buckson18> aeon-ltd: the timeout is set to 10
[23:38] <ubuntu4shane> intrader, ok, and now when you double click on a sh file, it doesn't?
[23:38] <littlejoey> intrader: I have an idea, there is a place where you set up which applications to use for certain files, did you try playing with that?
[23:38] <intrader> ubuntu4shane, now, now it does not, it wants to open the text editor. The .sh file is not executable anymore.
[23:39] <ccallahan> oh, i forgot, i'm running 10.10 AMD64 + GNOME3 Shell
[23:39] <ubuntu4shane> intrader, ok, it is the file association
[23:39] <littlejoey> that is what I think too (regarding intrader's problem)
[23:39] <ubuntu4shane> intrader, right click on a sh file and select properties
[23:39] <aeon-ltd> buckson18: is it hashed out (as in #)

[23:41] <aeon-ltd> buckson18: can you pastebin it please
[23:41] <ubuntu4shane> intrader, after that click on the permissions tab, and make sure the box is checked that says Executable
[23:41] <mrbrdo> ext. if = external interface, sorry if i abbreviated weird
[23:41] <intrader> littlejoey, right click on the file gives me a tab with permissions, in it there is an execute checkbox, when I check it, it momentarily checks but the it unchecks.
[23:41] <ubuntu4shane> intrader, I mean allow executing file as program
[23:42] <intrader> ubuntu4shane,  right click on the file gives me a tab with permissions, in it there is an execute checkbox, when I check it, it momentarily checks but the it unchecks.
[23:42] <littlejoey> intrader: there is a place for file associations in the menu, I can't remember where though hang on
[23:42] <ubuntu4shane> intrader, that is because you are working on FAT filesystem, and I think* that FAT doesn't allow those kind of permissions.
[23:42] <mrbrdo> i even removed that gateway directive now but it doesn't work anymore.. i also changed some settings through the GUI, but it doesn't seem to affect /etc/network/interfaces... it doesn't change at all. so i'm not sure what to do
[23:43] <ubuntu4shane> intrader, there is a openwith tab, however I don't see an option that you need, like terminal
[23:43] <ubuntu4shane> intrader, probably it would be easier for you to learn to use the terminal, and execute it that way.
[23:43] <buckson18> aeon-ltd: I'm not sure how to use this pastebin
[23:44] <ubuntu4shane> !pastebin | buckson18

[23:45] <newuber> is there software to hide ip
[23:45] <intrader> ubuntu4shane,  when I navigate to the Smalltalk IDE, it does not associate.
[23:46] <slide> How can I verify if IPv6 is disabled or enabled?
[23:46] <ubuntu4shane> ok, intrader in the open with tab at the bottom you can click on add
[23:46] <mrbrdo> does anyone know about routing and can help me? home router setup with 2 interfaces, both manual IP
[23:47] <ubuntu4shane> intrader, at the bottom it says custom command, just click that and put sh
[23:47] <ubuntu4shane> intrader, after that click ok, and now when you double click on it you it will offer to run it.
[23:47] <ubuntu4shane> mrbrdo, I highly recommend you use wicd
[23:48] <zetheroo1> I have Ubuntu here in the office and am trying to setup Thunderbird or Evolution to work with the resident Exchange server but neither program will connect  ...  why is this?
[23:48] <mrbrdo> ubuntu4shane for NAT setup too?
[23:48] <littlejoey> zetheroo1: I have the same problem, I couldn't fix it...
[23:48] <ubuntu4shane> mrbrdo, I'm not really sure about NAT, but wicd offers a much simpler process to set IP adresses.
[23:49] <littlejoey> zetheroo1: correction, it was a microsoft exchange server
[23:49] <aaron___> exit
[23:49] <zetheroo1> littlejoey: have you ever been successful at joining Ubuntu to a Windows domain?
[23:49] <mrbrdo> ubuntu4shane I used the tool included with Ubuntu, is that one not good? it didn't seem to modify /etc/network/interfaces though :S
[23:49] <intrader> ubuntu4shane,  it say that "Could not find application' Perhaps because execute permission is not given.
[23:50] <littlejoey> zetheroo1: well some people manage, but you have to keep trying and looking through the ubuntu forums etc, to know how to configure ubuntu correctly for that
[23:50] <ubuntu4shane> mrbrdo, personally I find that the Gnome Network manager is a little buggy, and for me not simple.
[23:50] <mrbrdo> ubuntu4shane ok thanks I will try to do something
[23:50] <ubuntu4shane> intrader, oh, that is possible, I don't have a FAT drive/partition to mess with, but I'm about 96% sure that FAT doesn't do permissions
[23:50] <zetheroo1> littlejoey: I guess this is yet another reason why Ubuntu in the business environment makes little practical sense atm
[23:51] <Armageddon> gnome-desktop-environment is not installed by default on Ubuntu, what are we working on if I may ask ?
[23:51] <ubuntu4shane> mrbrdo, give it a try, it is worth looking at.
[23:51] <Armageddon> and what's the difference ?
[23:51] <intrader> ubuntu4shane, st__, maco, I must leave for a bit, thanks for the help. That is correct, until a couple of weeks ago I could do .sh files in FAT volumes.
[23:52] <ubuntu4shane> intrader, yes, I can't explain why you could do it before, and can't now, that is odd, it isn't terrible hard to use terminal and do the same thing as a work around, catch ya later.
[23:54] <littlejoey> Armageddon: we are using the gnome desktop by default in Ubuntu, but you are right that it is odd that it looks like the gnome desktop package is not installed hmm beats me
