[15:49] <dgoeri2s> JanC, Sorry that wasn't directed at you -.-
[15:50] <sphiryx> anubis is there some kind of netinstall version which doesnt rely on removable media like cdroms?
[15:50] <llutz> sphiryx: look at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-978888.html  the part with "cdrom-detect...:"
[15:51] <sacarlson> sphiryx: I've used pxeboot to install

[15:52] <lepra> hello everyone, is it really recommended to udate ubuntu? does it gives any dependency problems, it becomes slow?
[15:52] <anubis> sphiryx: all i did was follow these steps: http://www.ubuntu.com/server/get-ubuntu/download
[15:52] <riyaz> i downloaded all of them though synaptic pkg manager so where will my files??
[15:53] <SauLus> riyaz: i told you
[15:53] <sphiryx> llutz so it|s all about cdrom-detect/try-usb=true? ill try that...
[15:53] <riyaz> salus: can i do any group install?
[15:54] <llutz> sphiryx: i had that problem with alternate installer, maybe the server has the same issue. just a guess
[15:54] <SauLus> riyaz: what do you mean with group install?
[15:54] <Roasted> I was having some issues ever since I installed a new kernel about a month ago. Every single time I'd install something, I'd get crash messages and it mentioned the kernel. So I decided to boot to an older kernel, remove other kernels, and upgrade to the latest. Well in the installation process for new updates, it's been hanging for about 30 minutes now. What should I do?
[15:54] <frikinz> conclusion: upstart is not deterministic. my webserver sometimes starts, sometimes does not.. bad bad bad..
[15:55] <SauLus> roasted: how did you install/remove the kernels?
[15:55] <sphiryx> llutz I had this using the alternate installer AND the server x86 iso. anyway ill try it.. thx for passsing me that link... searched google for hours and didnt find that page
[15:55] <Roasted> SauLus, I went in synaptic and hit complete removal.

[15:55] <MaximumPower> ciao
[15:55] <Roasted> SauLus, I did this from the earliest kernel 10.04 came with.
[15:55] <MaximumPower> hi
[15:55] <MaximumPower> hola
[15:55] <MaximumPower> halo
[15:55] <riyaz> saulus instead of installing each file separately, can i install it all at one stroke??
[15:55] <FloodBot2> MaximumPower: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[15:55] <feifei>  hi
[15:55] <llutz> sphiryx: i cannot find the page, but there was another solution where you have to mount/ln the usb-stick manually before isntallation starts
[15:56] <dgoeri2s> anyone tried using Community Core Vision (used to be called tbeta) with 10.04 ?
[15:56] <frikinz> SauLus: I am now doing the test for 30mn. It now did not start while the previous time it did start. I only did #reboot inbetween.
[15:56] <frikinz> SauLus: And I see other people having same issue when googling
[15:56] <SauLus> riyaz: yes: go to the directory and type 'sudo dpkg -i *.deb'
[15:57] <MaximumPower> why i banned from #ubuntu-it?
[15:57] <anubis> which file system should i use on a media-server? (should be able to stream content to a windows lap-top)
[15:57] <frikinz> so I'll add it in rc.local
[15:58] <SauLus> frikinz: i dont say you lie or something but i expect trouble somewhere else on your machine. upstart HAS TO be deterministic!
[15:58] <dimitri_> how set nautilus to use preserve flag in default mode (copy , cut and paste)
[15:58] <riyaz> saulus:directory mean the directory in which i have installed in old mac na??
[15:58] <SauLus> frikinz: just observe the liogs, when the problem arises
[15:59] <licensed> hiwi, the message is kstartupconfig4 does not exists of fails. the error code is 3. check

[15:59] <anubis> which file system should i use on a media-server? (should be able to stream content to a windows lap-top) any idea?
[15:59] <Roasted> I was having some issues ever since I installed a new kernel about a month ago. Every single time I'd install something, I'd get crash messages and it mentioned the kernel. So I decided to boot to an older kernel, remove other kernels, and upgrade to the latest. Well in the installation process for new updates, it's been hanging for about 30 minutes now. What should I do?
[15:59] <licensed> so i change my password back and all works fine
[15:59] <riyaz> saulus:must i place the .dep files only in loc u specified ah??
[16:00] <SauLus> riyaz: would be good but is not necessary. go to the dir where you put the .deb files and call dpkg from there

[16:06] <riyaz> saulus:sorry,i misspelt qn is:i am using windows also , i allocated only 10Gb for ubuntu so may i put the .deb files in some windows drive,so that i mount the dive in ubuntu and can i install?is it possible to do like this??
[16:06] <TiK> how to I create shortcuts IE somethin like ln -s /java /var/www/java  ? would that work
[16:06] <Israfel> You'll need to change the password on the encryption for that directory
[16:06] <sacarlson> san_:  maybe it's on the google server side maybe it will work tomaro.
[16:06] <topyli_> Dick: yes, always keep your system up to date

[16:15] <Roasted> First I installed a new kenrel like a month ago, then it backfired somehow. Every time I installed something, it errored out. So today I finally got sick of the problems and rebooted to the oldest kernel with 10.04 and removed the newer one. Then I went to update manager and tried to install the latest kernel. It froze for about 40 minutes. I rebooted and booted up to the older kernel again. Im in software center now trying to inst
[16:15] <Roasted> all a bogus program and its freezing at 50%
[16:15] <SauLus> riyaz: you could try to emulate windows on linux using wine. Using wine you can start windows programs in linux. But it is a bit slower and not everything is working.
[16:15] <Roasted> In short, I'm sick of these problems.  Thank you for understanding.
[16:17] <SauLus> Roasted: next thing - as you dont want to use windows - is using the console.  Just ban.
[16:18] <Slart> just leave it.. let the ops handle it
[16:18] <shiftingcontrol> i am using ubuntu 9.10 ,core2duo,my system monitor shows my cpu usage morethan 90% ,ram space of 800 mb is used,top resulted in 220 process

[16:19] <xangua> shiftingcontrol: and what's the procces using more ram¿¿

[16:19] <kuttan_> swap space, total ram , cpu of you machine
[16:19] <Roasted> kuttan - 4gb ram, quad core, 2gb swap I believe
[16:20] <Roasted> SauLus - I don't see anything that appears to be problematic. To the best that I can tell anyway.
[16:20] <anubis> what should mount point for a windows drive be? /windows?
[16:20] <Slart> anubis: it doesn't really matter. I would use something in /media or /mnt

[16:20] <joakimk_> What's a practical way of placing an image (either EPS or PDF format) on the bottom-right part of every odd page in a PDF document? Is there some tool to do this, preferrably via some small script?
[16:20] <Slart> anubis: /media/windows or something should work nicely
[16:20] <anubis> thanks
[16:20] <SauLus> Roasted: you must be a fast reader if you have finished looking through /var/log/syslog in this small time
[16:21] <Roasted> SauLus - there's time stamps - I just looked for the time frame in which the problem occured.
[16:21] <san_> where can i find the grub config file in the latest ubuntu?

[16:21] <SauLus> Roasted: which kernel did you install?
[16:21] <riyaz> saulus:no no it contains one folder named "partial"(empty folder) and all other files are .deb file which i installed..
[16:21] <Roasted> SauLus - none. I TRIED to install the latest one in update manager, but it froze for about 40-45 minutes so I just rebooted.
[16:21] <shiftingcontrol> xangua:EVINCE 264MB
[16:22] <Roasted> SauLus - Im on .22 kernel now. I uninstalled .23 which is where the problems started.
[16:22] <Slart> joakimk_: there are a lot of nice command line tools to do all kinds of weird things to pdf, ps or similar files.. have a look at pdftk for one
[16:22] <Slart> !info pdftk | joakimk_

[16:23] <erUSUL> licensed: really dunno; i do not have ecripted partitions...
[16:23] <anubis> ok :)
[16:23] <Roasted> SauLus - it errors out with a locked process - I think its cause software center is frozen @ 50% installing something. Let me xkill it.
[16:23] <Roasted> SauLus - nevermind. xkilling doesnt end it. I might have to reboot?
[16:23] <SauLus> yes, kill every other software-processing instance
[16:23] <licensed> erUSUL, fine man =D thanks i'll to try
[16:23] <SauLus> Roasted: which is the name of the process?
[16:23] <Roasted> SauLus - I xkilled it, but when I reopen software center it is still pending.
[16:24] <SauLus> Roasted: terminal: ps aux | grep -i soft
[16:24] <Roasted> SauLus - no idea, terminal readout just says its temporarily unavailable - is another process using it:?
[16:24] <Roasted> k, sec
[16:24] <Roasted> I got 5 entries back, 4 root, 1 jason (me)
[16:24] <IdleOne> ubottu: tell rezolute about the CoC
[16:24] <SauLus> Roasted: what are the names of the processes?
[16:25] <IdleOne> !CoC > rezolute
[16:25] <SauLus> !CoC > SauLus
[16:25] <riyaz> saulus:any thing wrong?
[16:25] <mechbangirc> I have two network cards installed on lenny. [eth0 => <IP_ADDRESS>] and [eth1 => <IP_ADDRESS>]. I want to have eth1 as my primary interface to internet. However in my routing table both interfaces have a gateway route entry set, what should I do? here is the result of ifconfig and route -n http://pastebin.ca/1913283
[16:25] <Roasted> besides numbers, the only thing I see is ksoftirqd/0, ksoftirqd/1, then /2, /3
[16:25] <Slart> mechbangirc: lenny? running debian?
[16:26] <SauLus> riyaz: what do you mean?
[16:26] <erUSUL> mechbangirc: go to #debian ?
[16:26] <Kaspi> any tips on an SSH access manager?
[16:26] <Roasted> SauLus - let me just reboot...
[16:26] <SauLus> Roasted: fine
[16:26] <erUSUL> Kaspi: access manager ?
[16:26] <riyaz> saulus:no no it contains one folder named "partial"(empty folder) and all other files are .deb file which i installed..
[16:26] <mechbangirc> Slart: i copy pasted this stuff in #debian no body replied to my question.
[16:26] <Jigal> I have some trouble with installing my monitor as second screen of laptop. where is the logfile of X stored so i can post it on pastebin?
[16:26] <mechbangirc> cosider lenny as jaunty :)
[16:27] <Slart> mechbangirc: that doesn't make it ok to ask in here.. I'm sure debian has forums and other support options
[16:27] <Kaspi> erUSUL: yeah, some GUI aplication which would virtualize remote terminal and would also provide some "profiles" for storing access information
[16:27] <quazer> #exit
[16:27] <Slart> mechbangirc: we don't even support mint or other derivates in here.. and they are much more similar to ubuntu compared to debian
[16:27] <SauLus> riyaz: and you copied those files, right?
[16:27] <techie123> help with nautilus
[16:27] <mechbangirc> ah let me rephrase my qustion
[16:27] <mechbangirc> I have two network cards installed. [eth0 => <IP_ADDRESS>] and [eth1 => <IP_ADDRESS>]. I want to have eth1 as my primary interface to internet. However in my routing table both interfaces have a gateway route entry set, what should I do? here is the result of ifconfig and route -n http://pastebin.ca/1913283
[16:28] <erUSUL> !info putty | Kaspi
[16:28] <riyaz> saulus:yes,did i need to copy the .bin files which r out side of archieve??
[16:28] <mechbangirc> oh come on i dont want to change my id debian guys not listening to me
[16:29] <mechbangirc> this is a general sort of issue not distribution specific
[16:29] <erUSUL> Kaspi: but plain ssh should be enough ... http://www.mokisystems.com/blog/ssh-host-aliases/
[16:29] <Roasted> SauLus - I had to run configure -a, but it seems as if its working now.
[16:29] <SauLus> riyaz: you only need the .deb files
[16:29] <erUSUL> mechbangirc: what is configuring this interfaces ?
[16:29] <SauLus> Roasted: open a shell. Type "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade -y". What does happen?
[16:29] <Roasted> SauLus - however, I cant help but to notice, where its at right now in the terminal is the same place within update manager it was at when it froze when I dropped down the details list.
[16:30] <Slart> mechbangirc: what happens if you set the metric for the secondary interface to something higher.. it won't use the primary one after that?
[16:30] <mechbangirc> erUSUL i put entries in interfaces file
[16:30] <techie123> !info aptitude | Prateeksri123
[16:30] <SauLus> Roasted: Dont understand
[16:30] <Traveler287> hi, I wanna try out Alpha 3, but VirtualBox keeps messing up. I installed the OS, had to reboot, and it got stuck during the reboot, I tried the "live experience" but that gets stuck too at some point.
[16:30] <erUSUL> mechbangirc: do not put a gateaway entry in eth1
[16:30] <Dynetrekk> when using rtorrent with nohup, I get this error, why? rtorrent: PollEPoll::modify(...) epoll_ctl(3, 1 -> 1, 0, [0x8e82138:1]) = 1: Operation not permitted
[16:30] <Roasted> SauLus - Im running that now. It failed, said to run configure -a, so I did. NOW that command is running, but its stuck @ preparing to replace mysql server etc etc etc, which is where it froze when I updated the kernel last time.
[16:30] <erUSUL> mechbangirc: problem solved
[16:30] <riyaz> saulus:oh ok now i am clear; now after installation, the .deb files are necessary ah?
[16:31] <SauLus> Dynetrekk: why using nohup. Dont u know "screen"?
[16:31] <Dynetrekk> SauLus: never used "screen"
[16:31] <Roasted> SauLus - yeah it's just sitting here...
[16:31] <Roasted> sigh
[16:31] <Kaspi> erUSUL: does putty know to store passwords?
[16:31] <techie123> root not able to connect to x-server in 9.10
[16:31] <techie123> root not able to connect to x-server in 9.10 ..anybody ???
[16:32] <Spyzer> hi all, i have a file with no "\n" and numbers in it separated by a blank. How do i sort all those numbers(using sort command??? but how ???)
[16:32] <Slart> mechbangirc: nevermind the metric value.. it seems you need some kind of routing daemon to make use of it..
[16:32] <SauLus> riyaz: you want to install THOSE .deb files on your other clients as well. Copy them to every computer and do 'dpkg -i *' where you copied these files.
[16:32] <Spyzer> its a file consisting of only numbers separated by blanks
[16:32] <xxx_ooo_xxx> with dual monitors, anyone know how to get twinview/grandr to see the middle of my primary monitor as "center" not the center of the extended desktop
[16:33] <andyn> Kaspi: IIRC it nowadays forces you to do it the proper way, i.e. with a private key
[16:33] <SauLus> Dynetrekk: you can put processes in screen and detach screen into the background. Running processes are kept running. You can spawn several shells in one screen session.
[16:33] <sacarlson> mechbangirc: I've done 2 ports like this before not sure I remember it all I can take it offline with you
[16:33] <Spyzer> kindly tell anyone
[16:33] <SauLus> Roasted: do you need mysql
[16:33] <SauLus> ?
[16:34] <riyaz> saulus:ok ok thats right..i am asking that those files are necessary only to install or they are needed to run the application too ah??
[16:34] <Roasted> SauLus - Well I tinker with wordpress from time to time, so mysql is sorta needed...
[16:34] <abc4> When using "su - user" and then xclock as user I get "Cant open display". With "sux - user" this works fine. What does sux more?
[16:34] <SauLus> Spyzer: you could do that using vim
[16:35] <SauLus> riyaz: these are the installation packages. You need them only for the installation and you can remove them later on,
[16:35] <SauLus> .
[16:35] <Dynetrekk> SauLus: I'll try using screen then. I just type screen, run rtorrent, exit screen?
[16:36] <SauLus> Roasted: do you need mysql now? Do you have anything useful in there? Then make a backup and remove mysql with "sudo aptitude purge yourMySqlServer"
[16:36] <riyaz> saulus:oh i understood,may i know one thing, r u a developer of linux??
[16:36] <SauLus> Dynetrekk: right
[16:36] <Dynetrekk> SauLus: how do I exit screen without exiting rtorrent?
[16:36] <SauLus> riyaz: Im a user
[16:36] <Roasted> I dont understand why mysql backfired in the first place, causing an issue like this.
[16:36] <Roasted> all I did was get my updates from update manager... djfklajsdflk;jasdl;kfjas;d
[16:36] <erUSUL> Kaspi: use ssh agent. you can use Aplications>Accesories>password and keys to generate ssh keys
[16:37] <riyaz> saulus:oh ok ok,is there any gtalk for ubuntu??
[16:37] <yudi1> razz
[16:37] <SauLus> Dynetrekk: If you did not modify .screenrc press control and a and d. Written as ^ad
[16:37] <Roasted> SauLus - yet again, this thing is locked - I cant even remove it via terminal. GAHHH
[16:37] <SauLus> riyaz: dunno
[16:38] <SauLus> Dynetrekk: to get your screen session back write 'screen -r'
[16:38] <riyaz> saulus:ok thank for ur help,bye..
[16:38] <Dynetrekk> SauLus: -r(esume) I suppose. thanks!
[16:38] <SauLus> yipp Dynetrekk. Your welcome
[16:39] <SauLus> your too, riyaz
[16:39] <Kaspi> erUSUL: I see.. and can I use the key ID with the command line SSH client instead of typing the password?
[16:40] <erUSUL> Kaspi: http://pthree.org/2007/02/10/ssh-key-authentication/
[16:40] <Roasted> SauLus - when removing mysql, its freezing at the exact same place.
[16:40] <Kaspi> erUSUL: eh? is that a corrupted page?
[16:41] <Peter-C|Laptop> how can i monitor core temps?
[16:41] <erUSUL> Kaspi: nope. is nice description on how to manage ssh in ubuntu
[16:41] <erUSUL> !sensors | Peter-C|Laptop
[16:41] <Peter-C|Laptop> thanks :)
[16:42] <Dynetrekk> is it possible to "detatch" a gui program started over ssh -X ? similar to "screen"?
[16:42] <Nefzen> I want to run Unreal Tournament on a LiveCD Linux, do it as simply as possibly, and run on as generic a computer as possible (hopefully with OpenGL support). Any ideas?
[16:42] <erUSUL> Dynetrekk: nope
[16:43] <SauLus> Roasted: try 'rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/ && sudo dpkg-reconfigure --all'
[16:43] <SauLus> Roasted: try 'sudo rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/ && sudo dpkg-reconfigure --all'
[16:43] <dshbusiness> Hello all
[16:43] <lappy> I compiled a custom 2.6.35 linux kernel, but I need to make initrd.img, how can I do this? I see references to mkinitrd, but I can't find this in a package
[16:43] <SauLus> Roasted: STOP!
[16:43] <Roasted> what
[16:43] <Kaspi> erUSUL: http://i36.tinypic.com/ap7li1.png
[16:43] <Roasted> I didn't do anything
[16:43] <SauLus> Roasted: try 'sudo rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb && sudo dpkg-reconfigure --all' Sorry. Thats it.
[16:43] <dshbusiness> lappy: show me your ls /dev/module
[16:43] <erUSUL> lappy: mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35whatevermore 2.6.35whatevermore
[16:44] <llutz> Roasted: "sudo apt-get clean"   does a clean "'sudo rm -f /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb"
[16:44] <lappy> erUSUL: thanks
[16:44] <Kaspi> erUSUL: but thanks, I'll check it out
[16:44] <SauLus> fine llutz
[16:44] <Roasted> processes locked. again.
[16:44] <erUSUL> Kaspi: do not use opera ;P. looks ok in ff and chromium here
[16:45] <Kaspi> erUSUL: I prefer opera to FF..
[16:46] <erUSUL> Kaspi: well i would contact opera to tell them about this bug
[16:46] <dshbusiness> My computer's right hand pad is so hot. How to make it cool?
[16:46] <TomOwens> I'm having trouble with my Ubuntu install - all of the repositories have very out of date versions of software. What can I do to fix this? For example, I can only obtain version 3.0.6 of Mozilla Thunderbird - the current version is 3.1.2...
[16:46] <Kaspi> erUSUL: why do you think it's an opera's bug and not the website?
[16:46] <SauLus> TomOwens: do a dist-upgrade.
[16:47] <TomOwens> Is that through apt?
[16:47] <TomOwens> apt dist-upgrade?
[16:47] <SauLus> TomOwens: you probably have an old ubuntu version.
[16:47] <TomOwens> SauLus: Nope.
[16:47] <VulcanX> good day all :)
[16:47] <erUSUL> Kaspi: becouse i tried with two different widely used and standar compliant browsers and it looks ok.
[16:47] <edbian> TomOwens, What version is it?
[16:47] <TomOwens> Running the latest. Just downloaded and installed it two days ago.
[16:47] <Jigal> i am trying to get my external acer screen to run as a second screen on my laptop but by reboot i get the error Ubuntu is running in low-graphics mode (failed to set tilting on frontbuffer )
[16:47] <Kaspi> erUSUL: is it your site?
[16:47] <TomOwens> 10.04 LTS
[16:47] <erUSUL> Kaspi: no
[16:47] <SauLus> TomOwens: no, its some other command ... TomOwens then you are running ubuntu 10.04?
[16:47] <edbian> TomOwens, Check this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion
[16:48] <VulcanX> i got a quick question guys, what happens to my BT if I am upgrading it "apt-get upgrade" and then my machine resets?
[16:48] <Kaspi> erUSUL: then you don't know if it contains any anti-opera code :)
[16:48] <llutz> TomOwens: for thunderbird theres a ppa with at least -3.1.1 available
[16:48] <Roasted> SauLus - running that command now. says intializing cache.
[16:48] <dshbusiness> Please help me, my computer's right hand panel is very hot. How to make it cool. It's thinkpad r61. Thanks
[16:48] <SauLus> Roasted: you should make yourself a coffee and watch, I think
[16:48] <erUSUL> Kaspi: i doubt it but hey i'm not going to press this further. is up to you
[16:49] <Roasted> SauLus - is this often a fix for problems like this? Or were you just banking on the fact that if the archive cache was removed, it would stop the mysql stalling?
[16:49] <TomOwens> That's for FireFox. I want Thunderbird. But is out-of-date repositories going to be a recurring problem with Ubuntu?
[16:49] <TomOwens> I want to always be running the latest stable versions of all of my software.
[16:50] <TomOwens> And if that's not in the primary Ubuntu repositories, that's going to be a major problem.
[16:50] <erUSUL> TomOwens: then you should look at using a rolling distribution like arch
[16:50] <llutz> TomOwens: then you'll need a distribution with rolling releases and no fixed release cycles
[16:51] <TomOwens> I think I will, then. I went with Ubuntu since I know a lot of people who use it, but if I can't be running latest stables, then it's not for me. I guess I'll look at Arch. Are there any other distribitions I should be looking at that meet my needs?
[16:51] <llutz> TomOwens: debian sid
[16:51] <Roasted> SauLus - its done. should I do the dist upgrade command from earlier?
[16:51] <SauLus> Roasted: yes please
[16:51] <SauLus> Roasted: The important part was dpkg-reconfigure. Maybe it found some problems.
[16:52] <erUSUL> TomOwens: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_release
[16:52] <edbian> TomOwens, Arch is great for bleeding edge software.  Be aware though "stable" and "new" are not the same.  I use Debian for that reason exactly.
[16:52] <Roasted> SauLus - froze again at the same place.
[16:52] <Roasted> I like how me installing updates via update manager results in these problems. :(
[16:53] <TomOwens> edbian: That's my problem. I want stable, up-to-date software. When someone releases a new stable version, I want it available to me quickly through my repositories.
[16:53] <edbian> TomOwens, You and I have different definitions of stable my friend.  I think what you're asking for though is arch.
[16:53] <llutz> TomOwens: or look at slackware
[16:53] <TomOwens> Stable is anything that's not a nightly/weekly build.
[16:53] <erUSUL> TomOwens: if it is for a handfull of major apps a good solution may be use ubuntu + ppa's
[16:53] <SauLus> Roasted: open another terminal and have an eye on the command 'tail -f /var/log/apt*/*' during the aptitude thing
[16:54] <sacarlson> Roasted:  i'm sure you tried to reinstall before remove.  I've had some success with that in similar cases
[16:54] <TomOwens> For example, Mozilla Thunderbird 3.1.2 is Stable. As would 3.1.3 be. But the nightly builds of Firefox and Thunderbird...not stable.
[16:54] <Roasted> sacarlson - reinstall before remove what? the kernel?
[16:54] <erUSUL> TomOwens: mozilla  wine openoffice and a few others may be all you really need
[16:54] <Roasted> SauLus - that command comes up with text in a different language, it appears.
[16:54] <edbian> TomOwens, For me stable means "it does not crash and has 0 or very few bugs"
[16:54] <sacarlson> Roasted: oh no didn't know it was that bad
[16:54] <Roasted> sacarlson - I have no idea anymore :P
[16:55] <edbian> TomOwens, I understand what you're asking for though.  Arch linux is your best bet.  In fact it might even have un-stable software by your definition.
[16:55] <Roasted> I got some updates, it backfired, then it caused system wide issues ( couldnt install anything) so I hopped on an old kernel, removed the newer problematic one, and then tried to bypass that all together and get the latest one that was pending in update manager.
[16:55] <Roasted> But somehow Ubuntu didn't like that.
[16:55] <kuttan_>
[16:55] <TomOwens> See, Stable for me is "latest official release", with the assumption that such a release has been tested and has minimal bugs. But I'll be looking at Arch. Thanks for your help.
[16:55] <dshbusiness> Please Help. My hard drive temperature is too high. About 60C.
[16:56] <Roasted> SauLus - any other ideas? the tail command comes back in a different language and its still freezing at the same spot.
[16:57] <simion314> hi, how can i force a reinstallation of a package.meta package?
[16:57] <SauLus> Roasted: what do you mean with the tail command? The tail command prints out what happenes to your log files
[16:57] <simion314> package or metapackage i mean
[16:58] <SauLus> Roasted: open another terminal and have an eye on the command 'tail -f /var/log/apt*/* /var/log/syslog' during the aptitude thing
[16:58] <Roasted> SauLus - it comes up on terminal as symbols, like a wingdings font.
[16:58] <thune3> dshbusiness: sounds like you have an airflow problem. (assuming the temp is correct). How are you getting temp?
[16:58] <SauLus> Roasted: ok
[16:58] <SauLus> Roasted: pastebin ls -laoR /var/log/apt*
[16:59] <dshbusiness> thune3: I installed a sensors-utils. while hddtemp program tell me it is 60 degrees
[17:00] <Xase> overscan hdtv... best way to cure it usintel 4500mhd
[17:00] <Roasted> SauLus - http://pastebin.org/457612
[17:01] <dshbusiness> /dev/sda: WDC WD1600BEVS-08RST2: 60°C
[17:01] <looonger> is this new ubuntu font available? it's 8 August today?
[17:01] <sacarlson> dshbusiness: if you turn off your computer for say 2-3 hours and turn it back on what temp does it read?  if it still reads lick 50C I'm not sure I would beleave it.
[17:01] <thune3> dshbusiness: if you have smartmontools installed you could double check with sudo "smartctl -A /dev/sda | grep Temperature"
[17:02] <dshbusiness> thune3: Let me try
[17:02] <kenalex> hello
[17:02] <brontosaurusrex> looonger: this maybe http://design.canonical.com/2010/07/the-ubuntu-font/
[17:02] <Israfel> Is there a good 3d graphing calc for ubuntu? nothing showing up on google.
[17:02] <SauLus> Roasted: open another terminal and have an eye on the command 'tail -f /var/log/aptitude /var/log/apt/history.log /var/log/apt/term.log /var/log/syslog' during the aptitude thing
[17:03] <grekkos> how can I put the program icon in the titlebar with metacity
[17:03] <Xase> intel 4500mhd overscan on 1080p overscan
[17:04] <SauLus> Israfel: what do you mean with 3d graphing calc
[17:04] <Roasted> SauLus - and yet again, locked unkillable process....
[17:04] <anubis> what is the command to install openssh if i didnt do it during install?
[17:04] <erUSUL> !sshd | anubis
[17:04] <SauLus> Roasted: what do you mean?
[17:05] <erUSUL> Israfel: genious? use octave as ubercalculator ?
[17:05] <Israfel> SauLus: Something that I can input 3 variables and have it show a 3d object.
[17:05] <anubis> ty
[17:05] <Roasted> SauLus - it only seems I can run the command one time before it locks the process. Once that happens, I cant seem to kill it via terminal, system monitor, etc, I can only do it by rebooting.
[17:05] <Israfel> erUSUL: the name is genious? Or ubercalculator?
[17:05] <erUSUL> !info genious
[17:05] <SauLus> Israfel: how shall it be calculated? Implicitly? Explicitly? Parametric?
[17:06] <erUSUL> !info genius
[17:06] <Israfel> Any of the above...
[17:06] <erUSUL> !info gnome-genius
[17:06] <SauLus> Roasted: what does Ctrl+c do to the process. It shall kill it.
[17:06] <looonger> brontosaurusrex: yes, is it out?
[17:06] <Roasted> SauLus - I'm back int erminal at the regular prompt, but like I said when I rerun the command it says its locked. Its not what Im used to seeing...
[17:06] <brontosaurusrex> the regular version seems to be (entire family missing, bold, italic and such)
[17:07] <SauLus> Roasted you have two terminals open, right?
[17:07] <gondek> hi ppl
[17:07] <dshbusiness> thune3: well, it seems that there is some problem with my software source. I just can't connect to it
[17:07] <riyaz> any body tell me what is the application equi for run in windows
[17:07] <Roasted> SauLus - sure do.
[17:08] <SauLus> Roasted: Work on the first. Watch the logs with 'tail ...' on the second. Create a new one and write 'sudo pkill aptitude'
[17:08] <Israfel> Apparently every google link takes me to a forum where they talk about how there's no good calculators for Ubuntu. That's sad.
[17:09] <Roasted> SauLus - it still says its locked even after pskill aptitude.
[17:09] <Roasted> pkill
[17:09] <SauLus> Israfel: how shall it be calculated? Implicitly? Explicitly? Parametric? Do you want a numerical result or a visual output?
[17:09] <transom324> i need help with my network connections
[17:09] <Roasted> SauLus - see why Im so confused now?
[17:09] <Israfel> SauLus: Any of the above would be nice.
[17:09] <edbian> transom324, What's the problem?
[17:10] <SauLus> Roasted: pkill -f aptitude
[17:10] <Israfel> SauLus: Graphing would be a nice bonus.
[17:10] <riyaz> saulus:what is equi application as Run in ubuntu?
[17:10] <erUSUL> Israfel: install wxmaxima is like mathematica.
[17:10] <transom324> after an update last night my wireless and ethernet connections stopped working
[17:10] <Roasted> still locked
[17:10] <Israfel> AH, thanks. I know mathmatica.
[17:10] <erUSUL> Israfel: or the one already mentioned.
[17:11] <edbian> transom324, Do you have a wired connection.  (e.g. the wire is plugged in and should be working by all accounts?)
[17:11] <SauLus> Israfel: there is one very nice parametric. Sadly I cant reach my box at the moment to have a look for the name.
[17:11] <erUSUL> Israfel: in the sense that it has simlar capabilities. symbolic math etc ...
[17:11] <edbian> transom324, Please being your posts with my name like I'm doing for you.  It makes it easier for me to catch when you say things.
[17:11] <saby> hello
[17:11] <SauLus> riyaz: what does 'run' on windows do?
[17:11] <kuttan_>  Roasted: just do sudo su -
[17:11] <sacarlson> transom324:  what do you see at a terminal with ifconfig
[17:11] <transom324> yes but that's not working either
[17:12] <edbian> transom324, What if you run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart"
[17:12] <edbian> ??
[17:12] <riyaz> saulus:it will run an application if path is given..
[17:12] <transom324> im currently using a live boot for this session
[17:12] <kuttan_> Roasted: then execute strace -o /tmp/strace.log apt-get dist*
[17:12] <SauLus> Roasted: whats the status?
[17:12] <edbian> transom324, If you ran off a live CD it's not going to affect your real install.
[17:13] <kuttan_> Roasted: later on upload /tmp/strace.log to pastebin
[17:13] <Roasted> SauLus - its still locked even after pkill -f
[17:13] <Israfel> Thanks, installing both of them now.
[17:13] <SauLus> riyaz: you dont need 'run' on linux. you can type a command and it is being executed. Press ctrl+alt+t for a terminal or alt+f2 for just one command entry box
[17:13] <transom324> it is the only way that i could connect to the internet to ask for help
[17:13] <saby> how do i set a drive to auto mount on startup ?
[17:14] <SauLus> Roasted: did you uses sudo pskill -f aptitude?
[17:14] <SauLus> -s
[17:14] <erUSUL> !fstab | saby
[17:14] <Roasted> SauLus - yep
[17:14] <edbian> saby, By creating an entry in the file /etc/fstab
[17:14] <SauLus> Roasted: then I think I cant help you. Sorry.
[17:14] <blet> how to monitor every applications' netflow ?
[17:14] <shockmount> i have a laptop and i having problems using my external monitor. Every time i close the laptop lid it goes into suspend mode how do i go about changing that?
[17:14] <SauLus> blet: iftop
[17:14] <edbian> Roasted, Maybe I can.  You killed all apt / dpkg related processes?
[17:15] <riyaz> saulus:where our installed components executable file will lie?
[17:15] <saby> edbian, but wouldnt that mount it as a folder ?
[17:15] <blet> SauLus, thx
[17:15] <SauLus> shockmount: change the energy settings in gnome
[17:15] <saby> or will it mount as a separate partition ?
[17:15] <Roasted> SauLus - I appreciate the help bro.
[17:15] <edbian> saby, Mounting anything means "putting it inside a folder"
[17:15] <edbian> saby, You mount a partition inside a folder.
[17:15] <Roasted> edbian - killed all as in, what? It seems to lock up by running 1 command, and nothing releases the lock except a reboot.
[17:15] <saby> oh ok so i can set it to mount in /mnt
[17:16] <edbian> Roasted, To be perfectly clear.  What command are you running that isn't working?
[17:16] <SauLus> riyaz: depends on the file. usually it has a name which is in the $PATH. Then you execute a program as /bin/ls by typing "ls".
[17:16] <transom324> edbian: i'll try your suggestion. thanks for your help
[17:16] <shockmount> SauLus: I dont get that option to change it to "off". Only thing I see is hibernate, suspend, shutdown, blank screen
[17:16] <saby> edbian, /dev/sda3 /mnt/ auto rw,auto,user,uid=your username 0 0
[17:16] <saby> is this fine ?
[17:16] <edbian> Roasted, And in answer to your question.  Look at ps -e (ps -e lists all the processes running on the system) If you see any processes in there that are related to apt they are the reason the file is locked.
[17:16] <edbian> saby, That looks good.
[17:16] <saby> :)
[17:16] <SauLus> edbian: please use the word directory instead of folder when you leave the desktop-metapher
[17:16] <edbian> saby, You have to specify the file system.  auto won't do it.
[17:17] <Roasted> edbian sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade iy
[17:17] <Roasted> -y
[17:17] <saby> ok
[17:17] <edbian> SauLus, sure
[17:17] <makulkar_> I'm in bit trouble as I have presentation tomorrow, and for some reason Im unable to project anything to projector! please help!
[17:17] <edbian> Roasted, Yeah.  Look at ps -e  make sure there aren't any processes running that have to do with the package manager.
[17:17] <saby> edbian, could you explain me "rw,auto,user,uid=your username 0 0"
[17:17] <edbian> If you'd like to use the gui then look at the system monitor, process tab
[17:18] <edbian> saby, rw = read/write, auto = mount at aboot time, user = user's can mount it, uid = I don't know, 0 and 0 means don't check the file system for problems ever.
[17:18] <SauLus> shockmount: it is "system > preferences > energy" and there have a look for the "lid" related things.
[17:18] <edbian> makulkar_, Boot the computer with the projector connected.
[17:18] <saby> edbian, thank you :)
[17:18] <edbian> saby, Yep.
[17:18] <Roasted> edbian - nothing sticks out as being related to package meneger that I see. theres aptitude, dpkg, frontend, and update-notifier, thats the closest I see.
[17:19] <sacarlson> makulkar_:  I asume you have a laptop and you want an external monitor/projector conected?
[17:19] <edbian> Roasted, You see aptitude in the output of ps -e ??
[17:19] <edbian> makulkar_, And with the projector turned on.
[17:19] <Roasted> edbian - I do. kill it?
[17:19] <tuberkulos> Does having Vista installed effect anything when using Ubuntu, except using memory on the harddrive?
[17:19] <makulkar_> edbian, ok let me try. Btw Systeim->Preferences->System resolution detects the LCD but fails to project
[17:19] <edbian> Roasted, Yes, that process is the reason for the lock file.
[17:19] <SauLus> aptitude and dpkg both block the system Roasted
[17:19] <Roasted> tuberkulos - it uses hard drive space, not memory. Two different things. :P
[17:20] <Roasted> edbian - pkill?
[17:20] <makulkar_> sacarlson, yes right. I was able to till yesterday but not today
[17:20] <edbian> makulkar_, All I know is that when I want any external display to work that I have to have it plugged in during the boot process.
[17:20] <shockmount> SauLus: What version of ubuntu are you running because i dont have "energy" i have "power management".
[17:20] <edbian> Roasted, kill <pid of aptitude>
[17:20] <edbian> Roasted, Then check ps -e again.  If it didn't kill it you might have to "kill -9 <pid of aptitude>"
[17:20] <SauLus> Roasted: hard drive space is also memory ;)
[17:21] <pooper> i have just installed 10.04 32-bit and I cant get the sound card to work. I need some help in figuring this out :S
[17:21] <SauLus> shockmount: youre right. I was just translating it.
[17:21] <makulkar_> edbian, ok it used to work without it before. Anyways will try rebooting. I suspect it may be due to gnome login error I get after login screen.
[17:21] <Roasted> edbian - it needed the -9 to kill it.
[17:21] <Roasted> SauLus - TECHNICALLY memory and storage are two different things. :P
[17:21] <edbian> makulkar_, Maybe.  Errors are generally not good.
[17:21] <edbian> Roasted, now try your command again.
[17:21] <SauLus> Roasted: Ok, we hang on definitions. Its time to stop ^
[17:21] <makulkar_> "An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for Encryption Key Agent (Seahorse). Some of your configuration settings may not work properly."
[17:21] <SauLus> ^^
[17:22] <Roasted> SauLus - just going by what I was taught bro :P
[17:22] <shockmount> SauLus: Yes but if my options are: suspen, hibernate, blank, shutdown. I have no option other option to keep connection to HDMI
[17:22] <tuberkulos> Roasted, as you can see I am far from being a tech savvy
[17:22] <makulkar_> edbian, ^^ what does that error mean?
[17:22] <tuberkulos> Thank you for the prompt reply
[17:23] <SauLus> shockmount: where exactly are you looking for the setting?
[17:23] <edbian> makulkar_, I can't tell you very well.  I'd have to research it myself.
[17:23] <edbian> makulkar_, Doesn't appear to be anything to do with your monitor / external display though.
[17:23] <edbian> Roasted, Did it work?
[17:23] <shockmount> SauLus: I am looking in power management
[17:23] <makulkar_> edbian, ok will try to reboot now. Thanks!
[17:23] <edbian> makulkar_, Good luck.
[17:24] <pooper> what do you guys recommend alsa or pulseaudio??
[17:24] <Roasted> edbian - Im able to run the command, but when I run it again, it requires me to run configure -a first. I do that, then run the command again, and it freezes @ something about mysql server. After I run configure -a, I see errors were encountered while processing linux kernel 23, linux kernel 24, mysql-server-5.1, and linux-headers-generic.
[17:25] <sacarlson> pooper: no sound comes out.  if you play like mp3 does it seem to play but no sound or not seeing any sound device and can't play?
[17:25] <saby> edbian, that isnt working
[17:25] <saby> edbian, i used this "/dev/sda3 	/media/OS/ 	ntfs 	rw,auto,user,uid=saby 0 0"
[17:25] <SauLus> shockmount: where exactly? There are three tabs
[17:25] <pooper> sacarlson, the device is recognized when i do an lspci, however there is no audio comming out
[17:26] <The_Dude> I've got a brand new HDD wich I'm going to manualy partition. I know that grub2 needs at least 63 sectors of free space in front on the first partition to embed the core.img. How large is 63 sectors in bytes?
[17:26] <sacarlson> pooper: I'm sure you checked that the sound is not muted
[17:26] <pooper> sacarlson, i checked
[17:26] <pooper> sacarlson, its not muted
[17:27] <pooper> sacarlson, sshould i give alsa a try?
[17:27] <SauLus> The_Dude: I think you can not touch the first part of the disc drive using usual partition managers. So dont worry. Just partition and everything will be alright
[17:27] <shockmount> SauLus: I read on ubuntu that its a bug, so I may have to manual set it
[17:27] <saby> hi could anyone tell me how to mount a partition at startup, i am trying this in fstab "/dev/sda3 	/media/OS 	ntfs 	rw,auto,user,uid=saby 0 0"
[17:27] <sacarlson> pooper: so lspci what card is it.  I use pulseaudio  the now default.   I'm not sure alsa would be better or worse
[17:27] <SauLus> shockmount: ok
[17:28] <The_Dude> Well, the last time (on Debian) I got the message that the embedding area was unusually small
[17:28] <SauLus> saby: do you have created the directory /media/OS? Does /dev/sda3 exist? Is it a ntfs partition? What happens with your command?
[17:28] <makulkar_> edbian, it worked and started showing login screen. Once  it started logging in, couple of errors and "No Single" on external display
[17:29] <pooper> sacarlson, lspci outputs: "Audio device: VIA technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA high Definition Audio Controller) (rev 10)
[17:29] <BluesKaj> pooper, alsa is the default kernel source driver , pulseaudio uses it to run on top as a optional audio processor.So it's not an either or situation
[17:29] <SauLus> The_Dude: which program do you want to use for the partitioning?

[17:29] <The_Dude> SauLus : The Gparted live cd
[17:29] <SauLus> The_Dude: do you want to install ubuntu?
[17:30] <saby> SauLus, i get "Unable to mount OS fuse: failed to access mountpoint /media/OS/: no such file or directory"
[17:30] <The_Dude> SauLus, Yes
[17:30] <kuttan>
[17:30] <saby> ok i got it , i think cos i forgot to create the folder :P
[17:30] <SauLus> saby: do "sudo mkdir -f /media/OS"
[17:30] <saby> :)
[17:30] <sacarlson> pooper: well I've use via sound card in one system not that exact number so it should probly work.
[17:30] <The_Dude> SauLus, I want to lay out the drive my own  way
[17:30] <Roasted> edbian - in regard to the 4 errors I found (kernel 23, 24, linux headers generic, mysql server) do you think thats a red flag?
[17:30] <SauLus> The_Dude: then do the partitioning with the ubuntu installer. It knows how to handle grub_2
[17:30] <kuttan> hi
[17:31] <SauLus> The_Dude: you can do that using the installer. just use your own scheme. The installer creates it for you.
[17:31] <pooper> sacarlson, what if I reinstall pulse-audio??
[17:31] <The_Dude> SauLus, OK, gonna use the Ubuntu installer.
[17:31] <edbian> Roasted, Sorry, I'm here now.  Lemme read a bit.
[17:31] <sacarlson> pooper: seems they have a bug in that device https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/476890
[17:31] <SauLus> The_Dude: makes life easier ;)
[17:32] <saby> SauLus & edbian thank you :)
[17:32] <edbian> saby, "saby" is not a uid.  I suggest just getting rid of uid.  UID is a number.  A user ID number.
[17:32] <saby> edbian, so i should use 1000 instead of saby
[17:32] <edbian> Roasted, Uhh, sudo aptitude install -f
[17:33] <edbian> saby, If that's your uid.  (probably is)
[17:33] <thune3> saby: not a huge thing, but ubuntu convention puts fixed mountpoints under /mnt/, /media is for dynamic (auto) mounts. Not a big deal. (fstab *will* understand uid=saby)
[17:33] <saby> ya shows that in passwd file :)
[17:33] <edbian> Roasted, That fixes broken packages.  Aptitude does a better job and resolving problems than apt-get does.
[17:33] <edbian> saby, Then yes.
[17:33] <saby> thune3, ok :)
[17:33] <pooper> sacarlson, any suggestions? Or should I look for another sound card :p
[17:34] <sacarlson> pooper:  well did it work in a previose version?
[17:34] <ozan> Can you give me as where komfigurasi postfi mail server...
[17:34] <edbian> Roasted, The package manager is running again which means we fixed the original problem.  Now you just have broken / misconfigured packages.  That's another beast :)
[17:34] <Roasted> edbian - while the command completed and came back to the regular prompt, I did get some errors, including for kernel 23, 24, linux headers generic, and mysql server (again)
[17:34] <edbian> Roasted, Mmm, I'm not sure?
[17:34] <pooper> sacarlson, This machine had 8.04 on it... I did a fresh install of 10.04 and the sound is dead
[17:34] <pooper> sacarlson, on 8.04 it worked
[17:35] <edbian> Roasted, I guess you'll have to be more specific.  Do you consider the problem to be fixed or should we continue working?
[17:35] <Professor_G> i hate my wirles it workes fine here intermitant at home and at the jym its like connect for 5 secconds then dissconect. stc
[17:35] <ibrahim-kasem> is there anyone using tor ? with firefox
[17:35] <Roasted> edbian - well, the command complete,d but it looks the same as before. let me pastebin it.
[17:35] <sacarlson> pooper: well the driver is probly in the kernel so eather try to go back to your old kernel or try to go forward and get a newer kernel
[17:35] <edbian> Roasted, ok.
[17:35] <Professor_G> any solutions
[17:36] <Roasted> edbian - http://pastebin.org/457758
[17:36] <edbian> Roasted, Oh! You're on kde! :)
[17:37] <Roasted> edbian - I sure aint :P
[17:37] <Roasted> edbian - and the confusion continues!
[17:37] <edbian> Roasted, some file is still locked!  See line 55 ??
[17:37] <sacarlson> pooper: it looks like they have a fix linux-backports-modules-alsa-karmic-generic  not sure what they have for 10.04
[17:37] <ibrahim-kasem> #tor
[17:38] <ozan> ok
[17:38] <Roasted> edbian - I see that nowl..
[17:38] <Roasted> edbian - any idea about the kde thing? Im definitely not on kde...
[17:38] <pooper> mmm
[17:38] <Professor_G> i need help
[17:39] <Professor_G> i hate my wirles it workes fine here intermitant at home and at the jym its like connect for 5 secconds then dissconect. stc
[17:39] <Professor_G> wireless
[17:39] <pooper> sacarlson, so just to be sure, you're saying that installing alsa will not make a difference?
[17:39] <zelrikriando> hello
[17:39] <Roasted> edbian - what kind of time frame am I looking to get this working? Should I just reinstall?
[17:39] <edbian> Roasted, The packages that are broken are kde packages.  A lot of these packages are kde packages!  plasma widgets workspace kpackagekit  kubuntu-debug-installer
[17:40] <edbian> Roasted, Oh no no, we're close.
[17:40] <sacarlson> pooper:  it won't kill you to try but it looks like alsa has a history of a bug in that model sound card
[17:40] <Roasted> edbian - I have no idea about the kde packages - the only kde application I have installed (to my knowledge) is ktorrent.
[17:40] <edbian> Roasted, Did you say you had some front-end running in ps -e?
[17:40] <zelrikriando> Is there somebody experienced at installing Wow on ubuntu here?
[17:40] <Roasted> edbian - let me recheck
[17:40] <edbian> Roasted, ktorrent will depend on a lot of kde stuff.
[17:40] <edbian> Roasted, on second though, just pastebin your ps -e
[17:40] <Roasted> edbian - I have a process simply called frontend
[17:40] <pooper> sacarlson, and pulseaudio is the default controller in 10.04 correct?
[17:40] <edbian> Roasted, I'll give back of a list of all the things we need to kill.
[17:40] <edbian> Roasted, It'll be easier that way.
[17:41] <AlphaWaves> hey ul banned$
[17:41] <Roasted> edbian http://pastebin.org/457777
[17:41] <edbian> Roasted, What happened last time was the package manager crashed and left a bunch of it's little sub processes running.  Now we have to stop them all before any instance of the package manager can work again.
[17:41] <sacarlson> pooper: yes , I think I would try see about installing that latist kernel for 10.04 first,  if that fails go for the backport fix
[17:41] <BluesKaj> pooper have you tried alsa without pulseaudio ?
[17:41] <edbian> Roasted, kill frontend
[17:41] <edbian> Roasted, You know you're running a web server?
[17:42] <saby> how do i remove the mounted partition icons from the desktop ?
[17:42] <pooper> BluesKaj, no I have not
[17:42] <BluesKaj> what soundcard , pooper ?
[17:42] <edbian> Roasted, That appears to be it.  Just frontend.  Then try that command again.  sudo aptitude install -f
[17:42] <edbian> saby, Reboot.
[17:43] <pooper> BluesKaj, lspci outputs: "Audio device: VIA technologies, Inc. VT1708/A [Azalia HDAC] (VIA high Definition Audio Controller) (rev 10)
[17:43] <saby> edbian, not that, i mean permanently remove so that it doesnt show the mounted drives on the desktop :)
[17:43] <edbian> saby, Mount them in a different place than /media
[17:44] <Roasted> edbian - yeah I have apache running if I want to host a file real quick to a buddy. Other than that it doesnt serve any other purpose.
[17:44] <edbian> Roasted, cool.
[17:44] <saby> edbian, isnt there anyway other than mounting them in a place other than /media as when pen drives or external drives auto mount, it will still show that
[17:44] <bonhoffer> is there a way to get the last 5 files from ls -lt
[17:45] <edbian> saby, Not that a I know of. Them showing on the desktop is a feature :)
[17:45] <AlphaWaves> n omatter
[17:45] <llutz> bonhoffer: |tail -5
[17:45] <Roasted> edbian - k I ran install -f again.
[17:45] <Roasted> where to now?
[17:45] <edbian> saby, There might be a way.  I just don't know of it.
[17:45] <edbian> Roasted, Well what happened?
[17:45] <pooper> BluesKaj, any suggestions?
[17:45] <Roasted> gave me the same output as before, command completed, but said errors with kernel 23, 24, generic headers, and mysql 5.1
[17:45] <Roasted> server
[17:45] <edbian> Roasted, We are trying to get to the point where running aptitude install -f does nothing.
[17:45] <saby> edbian, ya i think there is cos i had done it in 9.04 and i cant remember it now how i did it :P
[17:46] <Roasted> edbian - ehh... hmm.
[17:46] <edbian> Roasted, Can you pastebin the output again?
[17:46] <Roasted> edbian - sure
[17:46] <bonhoffer> llutz: thanks
[17:47] <BluesKaj> !intelhda | pooper
[17:47] <transom324> edbian: I tried sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart.  it didn't fix the problem.  I'm back on the live cd
[17:47] <Roasted> edbian - http://pastebin.org/457796
[17:47] <edbian> transom324, I don't know then!  Sorry.  I have to go soon and I don't have time to help you.
[17:47] <bonhoffer> llutz: is there a way to see more of the file in tail
[17:47] <llutz> bonhoffer: sure, "man tail" tells you
[17:47] <BluesKaj> pooper,your VIA soundcard usues an intel chip , hence the tutorial above
[17:48] <transom324> edbian: thanks again
[17:48] <bonhoffer> llutz: thought of that as soon as i hit enter
[17:48] <pooper> BluesKaj, I will give that a shot
[17:48] <pooper> thnx!
[17:48] <BluesKaj> pooper, let's hope it works
[17:48] <edbian> Roasted, I'm not sure.  That same file is still locked.    (It might be ending but it's not doing what it set out to do.  You should get nothing like lines 24 - 36.
[17:49] <edbian> Roasted, If it still doesn't finish without errors ask around here some more.  Additionally re-installing the OS will fix the problem but it will be overkill on a massive scale.
[17:49] <Roasted> edbian - rebooting. youre saying run the install -f command when I boot up again?
[17:49] <SauLus> edbian: what is the status with Roasted ?
[17:49] <transom324> Anyone: Is there a way to undo a update manager change?
[17:49] <Roasted> edbian - well I have my partitions split fortunately.
[17:49] <edbian> Roasted, Yeah, run aptitude install -f after you've rebooted.
[17:49] <Roasted> edbian - besides, I have a listing of all of the programs I have installed, so a single apt-get install blah blah blah blah blah command I could have my stuff back pretty soon.
[17:50] <edbian> SauLus, aptitude install -f cannot finish because it is stuck on a locked file /var/cache/debconf/config.dat
[17:50] <Roasted> edbian - I've used Ubuntu long enough to find out the easy ways of getting things running again when a problem comes about - Im just stubborn and like to try and figure out the problem before I reinstall. :P
[17:50] <SauLus> edbian: did you try lsof?
[17:51] <edbian> Roasted, It's better to fix the problem this way than to re-install.  It's akin to "The light at the top of the stairs is out"  I'll buy a new house with a light bulb that isn't burned out and burn down my old house.  Also I have a storage locker I put all my stuff in so this will be easy.
[17:51] <edbian> SauLus, Nope
[17:51] <SauLus> Roasted: what does lsof /var/cache/debconf/config.dat results to?
[17:51] <edbian> SauLus, Have fun!
[17:51] <noob7> how can I get a sorted(by size) table of all the files/directories from the terminal (I tried du -s * |sort -n but I'd like to see it  human-readable)
[17:51] <edbian> Roasted, Good luck!
[17:51] <SauLus> hrhr edbian ;)
[17:51] <edbian> Off to work with me! :)

[17:52] <Roasted> edbian - thanks for your help, but I think we're toast.
[17:52] <noob7> yep
[17:52] <Roasted> I probably shouldnt have removed the newer kensl in synaptic

[17:52] <Roasted> kernels*
[17:52] <nhandler> Does anyone have a link handy pointing to the wiki page (or ubuntu.com page) that actually defines "Ubuntu"? I know it exists, I just can't remember where it is

[17:57] <suprengr> nhandler: Ubuntu philosophy of Desmond Tutu is the interpretation used by Canonical http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-142291.html would be a starting oint perhaps...

[17:58] <transom324> help! i can't connect from my wireless or ethernet
[17:59] <nhandler> suprengr: That talks a bit more about the philosophy behind it. The page I'm thinking of says something like "Ubuntu comes from the African word for _____" or something similar

[18:22] <SimonP86> I apologise if I'm missing something obvious but why can't I just do sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre instead of trying to install the Medibuntu package?

[18:25] <Hilikus> guys i'm deciding which edition of virtualbox to install. USB and RDP sound tempting, are those really not available in the opensource version?
[18:25] <jjmartin_> thune3, not being about to use the OS is a crash
[18:25] <BluesKaj> tux11, we don't discriminate here , so finding a gay person to help is immaterial :)
[18:25] <tux11> lol
[18:25] <llutz> Hilikus: usb isn't, but there's nothing wrong with the PUEL Version, its just not free

[18:37] <abhijit> tux11, ysh. iknow about it. its really cool!
[18:37] <tux11> pretty good?
[18:37] <abhijit> tux11, yes.

[18:39] <aayush> i am using Lucid, i am unable to share my folder through nautilus, it shows this error message 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied... how to fix it

[18:40] <Zzubuntoo> ...
[18:40] <nisstyre65> saganbyte: you don't need networkmanager to get your network up
[18:40] <SimonP86> and which one do I need if I just want to run java programs
[18:40] <zenix> Hello, Ubuntu can read files from external hard drives with NTFS file format? (When this well is Microsoft's format?)
[18:40] <vishalrana> I am on ubuntu 10.04, somehow I deleted all the files in /usr/lib/apache2/modules, is there a way I can get them back or set it to default installation?
[18:40] <saganbyte> nisstyre65, i m asking this coz i intend to install fluxbox window manager... once i do that, i will have to get the wireless network up again
[18:41] <Wade> Sacarlson: I'm sure I could do it too... but is it safe to allow samba to share var/www/ folder?
[18:41] <Zzubuntoo> =_=
[18:41] <saganbyte> nisstyre65, the last time i tried this, i couldnt get the wireless working
[18:41] <mejjad> zenix: yes
[18:41] <sacarlson> Wade: I've sent you off line mesage
[18:41] <nisstyre65> saganbyte: you can't run the network manager applet on fluxbox
[18:41] <nisstyre65> it requires gnome
[18:41] <zenix> mejjad: thanks.
[18:41] <nisstyre65> use wicd instead
[18:42] <aayush> i am using Lucid, i am unable to share my folder through nautilus, it shows this error message 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error Permission denied... how to fix it
[18:42] <saganbyte> nisstyre65, then how can i enable wireless with another window manager.... will it come with its own network manager?
[18:42] <nisstyre65> saganbyte: you can install wicd or do it manually http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless#Manual_setup
[18:42] <saganbyte> nisstyre65, wats wicd?
[18:42] <nisstyre65> wicd is another program like network manager
[18:43] <saganbyte> nisstyre65, i see... thanks for this link :)
[18:43] <gsp2009> can anyone tell me if installing many fonts on 10.04 can slow down system performance?
[18:44] <saganbyte> nisstyre65, should i install wicd before installing fluxbox?
[18:44] <nisstyre65> saganbyte: it doesn't really matter
[18:44] <darkzay> gsp2009 i doubt it would slow down it probably would only slow down if your in a text document
[18:44] <nisstyre65> I guess if you don't want to have to get the wifi up manually
[18:44] <xangua> gsp2009: it could just slow down openoffice
[18:44] <saganbyte> nisstyre65, coz i wont have the wireless internet up and running immediately when i log in thru fluxbox right?
[18:44] <xangua> or other office suite
[18:44] <nisstyre65> saganbyte: yeah, that's correct
[18:44] <abhijit> hey i was disconnected.
[18:45] <abhijit> Zzubuntoo, then contribute by translating it.
[18:45] <saganbyte> nisstyre65, then how will i be able to install wicd at that time
[18:45] <saganbyte> wired?
[18:45] <nisstyre65> saganbyte: well, you can get the wifi up with some command line tools
[18:45] <gsp2009> darkzay: xangua. thanks. I didn't think so, but I had heard that it would so I didn't want to install a couple of hundred fonts at once, just in case.
[18:45] <thefatloverboy> how can i update skype ?
[18:45] <darkzay> gsp2009 have a look at this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=743158
[18:45] <saganbyte> nisstyre65, actually that s what i intended to find out how to
[18:45] <abhijit> thefatloverboy, download latest versin from there site.
[18:46] <slidinghorn> thefatloverboy:  what version do you have; what version do you want to upgrade to; and why?
[18:46] <gsp2009> darkzay: thanks.
[18:46] <kx> I have compiled a kernel obtaining the source with git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git MyDirectory. Now I want to update the files to the latest 2.6.32-24.39 additions. Is there a git command to do that?
[18:46] <nisstyre65> saganbyte: the link I gave you shows you all of the steps needed
[18:46] <thefatloverboy> i got 2.1 is this one the last ?
[18:47] <nisstyre65> you can definitely get wireless in fluxbox without the need to install anything else
[18:47] <saganbyte> nisstyre65, oh i m so sorry, i ll look through that, thanks for your patience tho :)
[18:47] <darkzay> thefatloverboy: if you downloaded it via software centre it should be
[18:47] <slidinghorn> thefatloverboy:  well...what version do you want to upgrade to?   why do you want to upgrade?
[18:47] <X-Sleepy-X> So, I'm comparing my two installations of Ubuntu 10.04 and I'm searching synaptic for "samba" on one of the computers i see that libpam-smbpass is installed and it's not on the other computer. The one that has it installed can see the computers of the network and vice versa, i've done the same setup on both of the computers so how come one of them has that package and one doesn't? I've not installed anything through synaptic when
[18:47] <X-Sleepy-X>  it comes to file sharing, I've only done it by clicking in nautilus... Any help / guidance in this matter is most welcome! :)
[18:47] <magicianlord> you can connect wirelessly with 3 commands in cli
[18:47] <nisstyre65> saganbyte: however it's more convenient to use a tool like network-manager or wicd
[18:47] <xerox1> flipboard seems to be a great hype in the last few weeks; is there something like that for linux?
[18:47] <nisstyre65> that's why they exist
[18:47] <saganbyte> nisstyre65, okay...
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppas/34
[18:48] <thefatloverboy> cuz that one i got is not so good for me
[18:48] <thefatloverboy> thanks
[18:48] <slidinghorn> thefatloverboy:  why?
[18:48] <saganbyte> nisstyre65, if i use fluxbox, will i have to reinstall xchat again or will i be able to use this existing one
[18:48] <thefatloverboy> cuz is so old
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> saganbyte: you can use xchat in any DE
[18:49] <thefatloverboy> and i got not optiones
[18:49] <slidinghorn> thefatloverboy:  what functionality are you looking for in a newer version?  what problem do you have (specifically) with the current version
[18:49] <saganbyte> ActionParsnip, okay thanks
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> thefatloverboy: if its the latest for linux then thats it, the fact its old is moot. If skype dont want to update their crap more oftn then thats their issue as the protocol is proprietary
[18:49] <nisstyre65> saganbyte: you can use xchat for sure
[18:49] <saganbyte> ActionParsnip, actually i m only worried about getting the wireless running once fluxbox is installed
[18:49] <MaT-dg> How do I install the AAC encoder?
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> saganbyte: you can use your usual network app in fluxbox if it is currently installed. I think you are confused what fluxbox is
[18:50] <nisstyre65> ActionParsnip: doesn't network-manager require gnome dependencies?
[18:50] <thefatloverboy> ok, i think i cant have a video call in this version
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> nisstyre65: sure but if they are installed then it will run in any DE
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> nisstyre65: just like you can run KDE apps in gnome
[18:51] <thefatloverboy> that ś what i think
[18:51] <nisstyre65> yeah, I thought he was getting rid of gnome all together
[18:51] <saganbyte> ActionParsnip, yes i feel the same.. a little confusion about it.. i m under the impression i ll have to setup wireless network (incl enable drivers etc) all over again
[18:51] <darkzay> Mat-dg: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/AAC
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> saganbyte: no, you are just changing the desktop, the stuff under the hood is the same
[18:51] <saganbyte> ActionParsnip, okay...
[18:52] <brontosaurusrex> MaT-dg: nero has one for linux
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> nisstyre65: a cross-DE manager is wicd and won't pull in tonnes of deps if you use ANY DE, its sweet but doesn't currently support 3G
[18:52] <brontosaurusrex> MaT-dg: free
[18:52] <mattyb> HI
[18:52] <nisstyre65> ActionParsnip: yeah, that's what I told him to use : D
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> nisstyre65: wicd is awesome
[18:52] <aayush> faayush
[18:52] <saganbyte> SO I m going to install fluxbox now.. thanks for all the help, ActionParsnip , nisstyre65 :)

[19:09] <nb72> Problem:  I have an ubuntu server setup with a shared NX400 Expson printer.  Ubuntu laptop and Windows 7 laptop both have the printer installed and working.  Except on the Windows 7 laptop it doesn't actually print from some programs
[19:09] <Oer> Joaz there are many howto's like this one > http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-mounting-your-encrypted-home-from-livecd/
[19:10] <nb72> Firefox works, Adobe PDF and notepad do not.
[19:10] <nb72> any ideas as to what might cause that?
[19:10] <nisstyre65> nb72: is this a windows problem? try ##windows
[19:10] <adalal> i know this isn't the amsn channel, but no one seems to be responding there for ages, I jus wanted to ask if anyone else had trouble logging on to msn servers with pidgin or amsn
[19:11] <nisstyre65> adalal: no problems here
[19:11] <nb72> I'm not sure if it's a windows problem or not.  I don't get any errors, just thought I'd check to see if maybe this is a cups problem that somebody has heard of before.
[19:11] <Joaz> Oer, wrong link? I don't have encrypted home dirs
[19:12] <Oer> nb72 not logical, if the error is on a windows pc
[19:12] <adalal> nisstyre65: any idea why i wouldn't be able to connect? it says it's unable to contact the server :S but all other services on the network are working fine
[19:12] <slidinghorn> Joaz:  it was meant for opossum_oisif
[19:12] <saby> i have a weird problem, when i try to login into windows, it corrupts the bootloader and i need to reinstall grub using the live cd
[19:12] <Joaz> kk
[19:12] <nb72> Thanks guys.  I'll try the windows channel.
[19:12] <Oer> Joaz, sorry, i meant opossum_oisif
[19:13] <nisstyre65> adalal: you could try doing 'netstat -a | grep amsn'
[19:13] <papa> thak you...good bye my friends  :)
[19:13] <adalal> nisstyre65: thanks
[19:13] <opossum_oisif> Oer, ok I haven't read :) thx
[19:13] <nisstyre65> adalal: that won't *fix* it but it might give you a clue

[19:15] <kenalex> thanks guys
[19:15] <jaycount> some1, maybe with WINE but why
[19:15] <Oer> some1 i don really want to know, try wine ?
[19:15] <slidinghorn> some1:  there have been some success stories via wine...give it a shot
[19:15] <deca-prime> some1 i think if you install play on linux it's a supported package
[19:15] <some1> i need to install it
[19:15] <nisstyre65> nb72: there might be something under /var/log
[19:15] <kbmaniac> anybody got google gears working on 10.04 ?
[19:16] <nb72> nisstyre65, thanks I'll take a look
[19:16] <some1> because i need to go to a site that doesn't support anything but IE
[19:16] <slidinghorn> some1:  deca-prime POL is like a front end for wine :)
[19:16] <nisstyre65> /var/log/cups/error_log for me
[19:16] <slidinghorn> some1:  then you need to go to a different site ;)  if it's netflix -- there is no linux support at this time -- send a letter to them :)

[19:17] <saby> hi, i mounted a partition in /mnt, is there a way to view that partition in "Computer"
[19:17] <pil> hello everyone - I am studying the ubuntu pocket guide and I have a question - it says that "To allow GUI login as root, click System - Administration - Login - Window. Select the Security tab and put a check in the box marked - Allow Local System Administrator Login. Then logout and back in." But when I open the Login screen in system - administration there is no Allow Local System Administrator login.:( What gives?...!!!
[19:17] <nisstyre65> pil: what version of ubuntu is it based on?
[19:17] <slidinghorn> pil:  why do you want to login to a GUI as root...this is very dangerous
[19:18] <pil> slidinghorn: the latest which is downloadable from the ubuntu URL...
[19:18] <iceroot> pil: dont run the gui as root
[19:18] <bootstrap> Hello, are there any issues with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 and Ubuntu? I have always used Nvidia, I'm not sure about ATI.
[19:19] <Hilikus> i can't find any guides on installing virtualbox on LVM, is this not recommended or something?
[19:19] <llvllonk> Anyone know the command line to see my sound driver? and or how to update the driver for it?  Sound works when i reboot...but after a few hours it doesn't work....btw how do i adjust volume >.<
[19:19] <slidinghorn> pil:  that was nisstyre65 that asked the version.....my question (which is more important) is *why* you want to login to a GUI as root?
[19:19] <pil> iceroot, nissytyre65: I am not gonna do it of course but I just wanna finish the book without left any questions in my mind... thats why... :)
[19:20] <iceroot> pil: look at the gdm cofig, the rest is not supported here
[19:20] <nisstyre65> if you REALLY wanted to log in as root you could do it from the command line by running 'sudo startx' probably
[19:21] <pil> ok - thanks everyone...
[19:21] <pil> :)
[19:21] <slidinghorn> nisstyre65:  that won't work, and please don't try to tell people how to login to a GUI as root...it's not supported here as far as I'm aware
[19:21] <patholio> is there a way of choosing what OS you want to boot back into after you reboot, but you choose before you shutdown?
[19:21] <Nylos> Hello, when i run ubuntu without "save graphics mode" i get this -> "http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/9558/screenelf.png" screen - what can i do?

[19:22] <nisstyre65> llutz: yeah probably, which is why nobody does it
[19:22] <pil> slidinghorn: my point is to read the book and understand it without any questions - thats why I asked  :)

[19:34] <almoxarife> I have what is suppose to be a 32bit laptop, yesterday I did a full re-install of ubuntu via wubi, seems I installed x86_64 version, and everything works fine, how could that happen???
[19:34] <coz_> denverdave,  i suggest redownloading the live cd or better yet.... download the minimal install cd
[19:35] <denverdave> yea.. the little dots under the word Ubuntu that go from white to red
[19:35] <coz_> denverdave,   oh those dots
[19:35] <coz_> denverdave,  I dont you booted into the live cd then
[19:35] <denverdave> ok this time... got an error about the installer having problems.. going to reinstall
[19:35] <DYPAK_YPOD> so how do I save a .2fs session to hdd if I'm on a livecd?
[19:35] <Cheguerz> Is it normal for a service to be running all the time with it's parameters e.g: path to bin "login details" after I quit said service. It runs as "nolaunchapp"
[19:35] <coz_> denverdave,  the live cd will ask for language first then the menu appears   that is where you choose to check the cd for errors
[19:36] <bccar> i can't get my transmission port open, i did the sudo ufw allow
[19:36] <denverdave> coz_ cool
[19:36] <Cheguerz> It's a potpourri VPN
[19:36] <DYPAK_YPOD> someone knowledgeable @ ubuntu livecd, please pm me
[19:36] <Cheguerz> Pptp
[19:36] <almoxarife> bccar: you behind a hardware firewall? a router?
[19:36] <denverdave> coz_ ok language set.. now timezone

[19:38] <boboysdadda> can someone please help me? my computer won't boot. running 10.4 gnome.  had to boot off of thumbdrive. somthing about not being able to mount sdb1
[19:38] <coz_> DYPAK_YPOD,  that doesnt mean others dont know...stick around and ask again  in a bit
[19:39] <llutz> DYPAK_YPOD: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD/Persistence
[19:39] <denverdave> coz_ so far no way to check disk
[19:39] <denverdave> now at the install window
[19:39] <abhijit> DYPAK_YPOD, i once remember while using pupply linux. it asked whether to save setting on pen drive or not. i.e. live puppy.
[19:39] <LinuxGuy2009> During the alternate CD base install the DHCP configuration failed and skipped, how do I bring it back up? My cable was unplugged.
[19:39] <almoxarife> bccar: do you have a router between you and the modem/connection?
[19:39] <Grujah> I've got a problem. I recently reinstalled Windows (I dual boot), and now I cannot access a separate, OS-less NTFS partition. It doesn't show in Nautilus at all, and in gparted it says its mounted on / (same as partition that I boot Ubuntu from).
[19:39] <coz_> denverdave,  are you sure this is a Live cd disc?
[19:39] <newbiez> irc.plasa.com
[19:39] <bccar> no
[19:40] <Monkey_Dust> DYPAK_YPOD: try finger -l (yourname)
[19:40] <llutz> Grujah: pastebin output of "sudo fdisk -l" and "df -h" please
[19:40] <denverdave> coz_ got it from ubuntu.com from their desktop link
[19:40] <almoxarife> bccar: how are you connected to the internet?
[19:40] <bccar> dsl box
[19:40] <coz_> denverdave,   well when the live cd boots...first thing is language select  then a menu appears.. not timezone
[19:41] <thune3> Grujah: i suspect your /etc/fstab is problematic. allso pastebin that too please
[19:41] <almoxarife> bccar: the dsl box has built in firewall, maybe?
[19:41] <bccar> maybe
[19:41] <coz_> denverdave,  it is the menu after language select that you want
[19:42] <denverdave> coz_ after that it is the timezone set up.. did I get the wrong cd iso to burn?
[19:42] <almoxarife> bccar: can you access the web interface and insure the port you want opened is routed to your machine?
[19:42] <saby> i have a weird problem, when i try to login into windows, it corrupts the bootloader and i need to reinstall grub using the live cd
[19:42] <coz_> denverdave,  mm  let me check hold on
[19:42] <Grujah> thune3, http://pastebin.com/bWYkivnS
[19:42] <Dr_Willis> saby:  Could be a virus, or anti virus software 'restoreing' the bootloader it thinks is correct.
[19:42] <luw> hi friends!
[19:43] <luw> i have a question about runlevels
[19:43] <saby> Dr_Willis, nopes no virus, tried with a fresh install too
[19:43] <Dr_Willis> saby:  after it does that - does it  basically set it where it boots up the normal windows bootloader?
[19:43] <LinuxGuy2009> How do I autoconfigure DHCP on the command line so I can use my internet to install packages?
[19:43] <coz_> denverdave,   can I assume you are in the US?
[19:43] <Dr_Willis> saby:  there are also BIOS settings to restore  MBR's ive seen.
[19:43] <saby> Dr_Willis, nopes it just displays No Operating System
[19:43] <saby> Dr_Willis, i dont think so there are any in my laptop
[19:44] <llutz> Grujah: pastebin "/etc/fstab" and "sudo blkid" please too
[19:44] <luw> LinuxGuy2009: dhclient eth#
[19:44] <luw> where # is your interface
[19:44] <almoxarife> bccar: one of the easiest ways to see if you have the port open to at least thru the modem/router is to use one of the web firewall checkers, it will tell you what ports are open looking from the outside
[19:44] <denverdave> coz_ you are correct
[19:44] <Dr_Willis> saby:  that is weird.  sounds like the MBR is getting trashed.   You may want to double check teh bios. but i cant think of any other reason for it to be doing that. You may want to ask in #windows they may have some suggestions.
[19:44] <luw> try that
[19:44] <coz_> denverdave,  go here  http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ and download the correct  "Desktop CD"  x86 or 64 bit
[19:44] <coz_> denverdave,  you got the menu?
[19:45] <almoxarife> I have what is suppose to be a 32bit laptop, yesterday I did a full re-install of ubuntu via wubi, seems I installed x86_64 version, and everything works fine, how could that happen???
[19:45] <saby> Dr_Willis, alright will do that :)
[19:45] <rww> almoxarife: because you have a 64-bit laptop
[19:45] <Dr_Willis> almoxarife:  and your CPU is what exactly?
[19:45] <almoxarife> dual core toshiba l555
[19:46] <denverdave> coz_ I am d/ling the is for 64 bit desktop now
[19:46] <LinuxGuy2009> luw: worked thank you.
[19:46] <coz_> denverdave,   if  you redown load  here are the hashes   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes   just open terminal cd to location of iso image  run    md5sum  nameof.iso and compare to the hashes for the correct iso image
[19:46] <denverdave> coz_ and I am still on the current menu being asked for a normal user
[19:46] <hotdog> they call me hothog
[19:47] <Grujah> llutz, http://pastebin.com/ME2d063u sda3 is the problematic one
[19:47] <luw> hi hotdog
[19:47] <hotdog> how you doin
[19:47] <luw> good dawgggg
[19:47] <coz_> denverdave,  mmm .. well after you download and check the md5sum   put the disc into the player...reboot  choose language  and then choose  "check cd"  in the menu options
[19:47] <luw> so
[19:47] <uRock> !hardware > uRock
[19:47] <llutz> Grujah: sda2 should be your /, so correct your /etc/fstab
[19:47] <coz_> denverdave,  just burn the new iso at 1x if possible...fewer errors occure at slower speeds for burning
[19:47] <luw> does anybody know the command to edit where a demon starts?
[19:48] <luw> which runlevel?
[19:48] <luw> i cant rembmer
[19:48] <m_tadeu> how do I change the locale?
[19:48] <llutz> !runlevel
[19:48] <llutz> luw^ see ^
[19:48] <chrismeo1> can anybody help me with the command dd ?
[19:48] <denverdave> coz_ ok then let me try lower speeds
[19:48] <chrismeo1> i want to delete my usb storage
[19:49] <denverdave> coz_ will take a while to d/l on this system.. no worries tho.. thanks.. i will check what happens with the cd and let you know
[19:49] <coz_> denverdave,  no just lower speeds ."lowest"  speed :)  which should be 1x depending on which application you use
[19:49] <Dr_Willis> chrismeo1:  why not just reformat it..
[19:49] <luw> ubottu: i agree, i remember using a command that you can edit weather or not a demon turns on/off at a specific runlevel
[19:49] <Dr_Willis> chrismeo1:  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdXXX  and let it go.. that will zero the hole drive.. USE WITH CAUTION.
[19:49] <Grujah> llutz, I just change /etc/fstab manually and .. restart?
[19:49] <Dr_Willis> chrismeo1:  you will then need to repartition/reformat it
[19:50] <luw> lol my badd
[19:50] <llutz> Grujah: yes
[19:50] <chrismeo1> lly good
[19:50] <denverdave> coz_ roger 1x burn speek
[19:50] <denverdave> speed
[19:50] <coz_> denverdave,  cool   remember  md5sum check with hashes...burn at 1x   then choose  "check cd" from live cd menu to be sure
[19:50] <SimonP86> how do I access the CD drive from terminal? cd <???> ?
[19:51] <kisplit> Does anyone know if the screen flickering will be fixed in Ubuntu 10.14? Anyone know a temporary fix?
[19:51] <abhijit> SimonP86, cd to /media
[19:51] <denverdave> coz_ got it.. and I will use the burner specified on that ubuntu.com page ok?
[19:51] <chrismeo1> i did dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/New\ Volume/zero bs=4096; is that good?
[19:51] <Dr_Willis> SimonP86:  if its mounted cd /media/SOMTHING
[19:51] <luw> bah just found it!
[19:51] <luw> chkconfig
[19:51] <Dr_Willis> chrismeo1:  No... note i used /dev/XXXXX
[19:51] <luw> found it right after i posted
[19:51] <coz_> denverdave,   cool
[19:51] <Dr_Willis> chrismeo1:  you dd a device.. not a mountpoint
[19:51] <luw> thank you llutz
[19:52] <coz_> denverdave,  I generally use  gnomebaker  but brasero should work  although I prefger gnomebaker

[19:56] <mrman208> hello everyone
[19:56] <IceD^> ububtu is "nice" - wife managed to create connection via pppoeconfig and networkmanager dropped eth0 (wasn't possible to connect to eth with it after this - no matter what) - was forced to explain how to do this via ifconfig and route
[19:56] <IceD^> question is - why pppoe is enabled in NM if it doesn't work?
[19:56] <IceD^> anybody test this stuff?
[19:58] <kotek> ubuntu - almost like a windows - is designed for idiots and lazy geeks
[19:58] <mrman208> kotek: Why do you say that?
[19:58] <abhijit> kotek, yah and thats why you are in this channel.
[19:58] <kotek> yes, i'm a lazy geek ;)
[19:59] <fearful> is there a way to view ext4 on windows xp if on seperate partiton?
[19:59] <abhijit> kotek, you forget to add the word before '...and lazy geeks'
[19:59] <m_tadeu> kotek: nice it suits someone, then :)
[19:59] <IceD^> fearful, good answer - no
[19:59] <Oer> fearful no, ext is possible
[19:59] <mrman208> fearful: Nope
[19:59] <Oer> * ext3
[19:59] <IceD^> ext2 is possible (with specific block size) via ifs driver
[20:00] <fearful> IceD^, ok, Oer mrman208 thanks just wanted to make sure
[20:00] <kotek> mhmm
[20:00] <mrman208> fearful: You're welcome
[20:00] <IceD^> ext2/ext3 is possible via some weird software (not ifs driver)
[20:00] <kotek> in my days there was something like a partition magic
[20:00] <IceD^> ext4 is possible if it's without extends (which is unlikely)
[20:00] <IceD^> so - proper solution - get rid of windows xp
[20:01] <mrman208> IceD^: Yup, basically.
[20:01] <fearful> IceD^, I actually don't have windows xp, wanted to see installing it but not anymore.
[20:01] <IceD^> :)
[20:01] <kotek> ext4 is also possible, but it can cause death
[20:02] <mrman208> is there anything for mac os x to install applications via command line (like apt-get in ubuntu. But not macports)
[20:02] <mrman208> or fink
[20:02] <IceD^> if you need some specific windows-only software - check wine and if it doesn't work - install windows in virtualbox
[20:02] <TrudeErMeg> Hi, guys!
[20:02] <mrman208> !hello | TrudeErMeg
[20:02] <Oer> kotek keep this channel family-friendly, thank you.
[20:02] <IceD^> mrman208, don't use apt-get in ubuntu
[20:02] <mrman208> IceD^: Why not?
[20:02] <IceD^> there is aptidude
[20:03] <guntbert> mrman208: how is that an ubuntu support question?
[20:03] <mrman208> IceD^: What is the difference
[20:03] <abhijit> !apt-get
[20:03] <augustRush> Hey there
[20:03] <IceD^> because of debian devs stupideness (no offense)
[20:03] <abhijit> !aptitude
[20:03] <mrman208> guntbert: Good point, sorry
[20:03] <augustRush> hey abhijit
[20:03] <augustRush> Kaise ho
[20:03] <mrman208> but what is the difference between them?
[20:03] <abhijit> hello augustRush . m fine
[20:03] <augustRush> hey i need help
[20:03] <m_tadeu> can someone pleaaaaaase tell me how to support special characters in my ext4 partitions? tey're all messed up
[20:03] <Stormsys> hello, i have a live usb disk for ubuntu which ive loaded, how can i now mount the computers harddrive becuase its not listed under fdisk -l?
[20:04] <abhijit> augustRush, hey ask then!
[20:04] <IceD^> they keep separate db of installed software - and if you'll install package + deps via apt-get - you'll have no way (well, deborphan or smth) to auto remove deps when pacakage is removed
[20:04] <augustRush> I have some movie with .avi extension  and it runs only in x3 player
[20:04] <augustRush> how can i get that
[20:04] <IceD^> x3 player?
[20:04] <abhijit> augustRush, what is x3 player?
[20:04] <mrman208> Would this be an Ubuntu question: Is there any way to install Ubuntu on a flash drive, have that bootable flash drive be made on the mac (Or Ubuntu LiveCD), and boot to the flash drive on the mac
[20:04] <Oer> Aptitude will be Removed From Ubuntu 10.10
[20:04] <augustRush> idk
[20:05] <IceD^> Oer, in favor of what?
[20:05] <mrman208> Oer: Exactly why I use apt-get ;)
[20:05] <abhijit> augustRush, and what is idk?
[20:05] <augustRush> i dont know
[20:05] <mrman208> IcdD^: apt-get :)
[20:05] <IceD^> mrman208, so you can
[20:05] <abhijit> !vlc | augustRush
[20:05] <IceD^> so you can't clean your orphaned packages
[20:05] <IceD^> niiiice way to go
[20:05] <abhijit> augustRush, use vlc
[20:05] <mrman208> IceD^: Isn't there something like apt-get autoremove?
[20:05] <IceD^> mplayer + win32codecs plays all video
[20:05] <augustRush> thanks ubottu
[20:06] <abhijit> augustRush, ubottu is bot.
[20:06] <Oer> mrman208, autoclean
[20:06] <IceD^> mrman208, don't know - there wasn't such feature in debian last time I checked (2 years ago)
[20:06] <mrman208> augustRush: ubottu is a bot, not a human.
[20:06] <[thor]> apt-get autoclean
[20:06] <mrman208> Would this be an Ubuntu question: Is there any way to install Ubuntu on a flash drive, have that bootable flash drive be made on the mac (Or Ubuntu LiveCD), and boot to the flash drive on the mac?
[20:06] <IceD^> and for ubuntu - that's my first and last experiment with it
[20:06] <[thor]> ahh,... too slow
[20:06] <IceD^> I was too lazy to install proper distro onto wife's laptop
[20:06] <augustRush> abhijit what is bot??
[20:06] <IceD^> and decided to go with ununtu
[20:07] <Ascavasaion> how do I check how much RAM my graphics card has without rebooting?
[20:07] <abhijit> augustRush, short for Robot!
[20:07] <Oer> [thor] not slow, your answer is a confirm ;-)
[20:07] <abhijit> !bot | augustRush
[20:07] <mrman208> !ubottu | augustRush
[20:07] <augustRush> Ok
[20:07] <IceD^> well - it installed without a problem and works fast
[20:07] <mrman208> !bot | augustRush
[20:07] <nb72> Hi all.  Update on my printing problem.  Apparently the problem was with samba.  The printer was shared (was trying to make it a public printer), but the Windows 7 machine didn't have write access to the temp directory for the printer.
[20:07] <mrman208> Would this be an Ubuntu question: Is there any way to install Ubuntu on a flash drive, have that bootable flash drive be made on the mac (Or Ubuntu LiveCD), and boot to the flash drive on the mac?
[20:07] <IceD^> but connecting to pppoe was pain in the ass
[20:07] <augustRush> x3 player
[20:07] <augustRush> ubottu x3 player
[20:07] <abhijit> !factoid | augustRush
[20:08] <nb72> So things like 'print a test page' worked fine, but printing any real document tried to spool to the file system and failed with no error message in windows.
[20:08] <IceD^> augustRush, install mplayer + win32codecs
[20:08] <abhijit> :(
[20:08] <augustRush> Hey Ice
[20:08] <abhijit> !tab > augustRush
[20:09] <oCean_> abhijit: you factoid lover :)
[20:09] <augustRush> you sure
[20:09] <abhijit> oCean_, :)
[20:09] <augustRush> Its highly encrypted .avi requires only x3 player
