[00:00] <MonkeyDust> Chucky1  if you're familiar with the command line, type: apt-cache search mail server|less, maybe you find something
[00:00] <washuu_de> I used firestarter for more than one year. Now I upgraded to maverick and firestarter does not work right anymore. It looks to me like there is a firewall over which I have no control now
[00:00] <murfie> dude.. there is no mail server with a web interface
[00:00] <washuu_de> not maverick! I meant natty
[00:01] <Hilarie> murfie squirrel mail
[00:01] <genn> L3d: it should be sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:01] <murfie> either you're looking for a html mail client like squirrelmail, or you're looking for a mta and you should just use postfix
[00:01] <Chucky1> i forget other people do use root
[00:02] <Chucky1> postfix with squirrelmail
[00:02] <Chucky1> ?
[00:02] <L3d> with the install it says e: unable to loacte packages
[00:02] <L3d> locate
[00:02] <Chucky1> sudo apt-get install updates
[00:02] <L3d> lol
[00:03] <brightspark> L3d: sudo apt-get update, not sudo apt-get install updates
[00:03] <Chucky1> oh im rusty damn
[00:03] <L3d> E: Unable to locate package updates
[00:03] <brightspark> same for upgrade
[00:03] <genn> L3d: because you're trying to install the package called 'updates' with that command and there is no package by that name
[00:03] <L3d> so it gets and installs at the same time ?
[00:04] <amine> pour aler sur ubuntu fr
[00:04] <murfie> I vote we should bundle ubuntu with a package called 'updates'.. who's with me?
[00:04] <murfie> it should do something like the 'sl' command :)
[00:05] <washuu_de> I have a question. Say when you have time...
[00:07] <L3d> so whats the cmd to instaal the updates and stuf ??
[00:07] <L3d> dam i confused
[00:07] <murfie> just click the update button
[00:07] <L3d> and this keyboard isnt helping
[00:07] <brightspark> L3d, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:07] <mongy> L3d,  forget ssl, just use ssh locally.  sudo apt-get install ssh,  ssh youruser@localhost -D 1234  then in browser set proxy to SOCKS5  localhost 1234 (replace 1234 with whatever you like)
[00:08] <murfie> first of all, forget the sudo thing
[00:08] <brightspark> L3d, update has apt check if new upgrades are available; upgrade installs the latest version of the package
[00:08] <murfie> do sudo -s once and do passwd to set a root password
[00:08] <L3d> this si fun
[00:08] <brightspark> murfie, we do not encourage setting a root password here.
[00:08] <amine_> salut
[00:09] <mhsy> salut
[00:09] <L3d> now i get id
[00:09] <murfie> where's "here"?
[00:09] <genn> washuu_de: just ask
[00:09] <washuu_de> Hi
[00:09] <fructose> Anyone know a graphical mail client that works with local mail?
[00:10] <murfie> kmail?
[00:10] <mhsy> hi
[00:10] <washuu_de> @Genn: I used firestarter for more than one year. Now I upgraded to maverick and firestarter does not work right anymore. It looks to me like there is a firewall over which I have no control now
[00:11] <L3d> so i need ghostry and ssh ,wich i need to copy the text from here ,so no ssl :D
[00:11] <brightspark> murfie, this channel in particular, and most ubuntu support you will find is the same.  The accepted practice is to use sudo and gksudo as appropriate.
[00:11] <fri3za> https_everywere
[00:11] <fri3za> :)
[00:11] <murfie> brightspark: it's like asking your parents if you're allowed to go to the movies, while you're 20 years old
[00:12] <MonkeyDust> !root| murfie
[00:13] <murfie> yawn:)
[00:13] <amine> je veu re rejoint ubuntu fr
[00:13] <Yukiii> hi
[00:13] <yeats> !fr | amine
[00:13] <L3d> will do ,thnx pps will return in a short while gl&hf and gtfo wit youtube imo
[00:13] <murfie> if you don't separate root and a user in sudoers, you're asking for troubles
[00:13] <washuu_de> genn: Are you here anymore? Do you need more info? Say so please instead of just disappearing
[00:14] <L3d> know all dutch +belgium certificates were hacked weeeeeeeeeeeeee
[00:14] <L3d> burp
[00:15] <murfie> in fact, a root password must be strong, and a user password, oh well, tends to be less strong. and when that user is in the sudoers file, you have an immediate security breach, hence, don't be a fool and just use a root password and use it wisely
[00:15] <amine> merci yeats
[00:15] <amine>  /join #ubuntu-fr
[00:15] <mes0r> i think my lucid distro (vendor provided) is running an older kernel.  How can I find the default kernel version?
[00:15] <_cb> Am using 9.10 the Karmic Koala and planning to upgrade to 11.10. When I installed 9.10 I created several partitiions (recommended by a book). Want to do a fresh re-install but want to leave /dev/sda10 intact. Will I be able to do that pretty easily?
[00:15] <genn> washuu_de: still her but not really familiar with firestarter or firewalls. sorry, hope someone else can help.
[00:16] <amine>  /join #ubuntu-fr
[00:16] <washuu_de> Genn:ok. I ask at another time. people here are busy. Time for bed for me anyway.
[00:16] <brightspark> amine, ne tapez pas un espace avant le "/".
[00:17] <washuu_de> Gen: tnx anyway
[00:17] <genn> washuu_de: no worries. good luck.
[00:17] <yeats> !info linux lucid | mes0r
[00:17] <Yukiii> hi
[00:17] <murfie> cb: yes but be sure to do manual partitioning
[00:18] <amine> re salut
[00:18] <mes0r> ubottu: thanks so i should be on 2.6.32 at least.   how would my vendor have gotten the 2.6.18 kernel installed
[00:18] <mes0r> haha
[00:18] <amine> re salut
[00:19] <Yukiii> salut amine
[00:19] <Yukiii> tu es d'ou?
[00:20] <yeats> mes0r: could be an older installation that just still has the older kernel installed?
[00:21] <mes0r> so they are just installing from an old version, gotcha.  i will ask them to update
[00:21] <yeats> mes0r: mind you, it would have to be *really* old ;-)
[00:21] <mes0r> ok thanks

[00:23] <frotzed> Anyone involved in the papercuts stuff?
[00:24] <excelsior> how does one edit the gui Applications menu without using the gui editor? The gui editor doesn't work.
[00:24] <washuu_de> Can anyone help me with DCC problems? It started after I upgraded from maverickt to natty

[00:25] <zteam> Hi
[00:26] <zteam> Is there any way to disable the executeflag permisson
[00:26] <excelsior> how does one edit the gui Applications menu without using the gui editor? The gui editor doesn't work.
[00:27] <zteam> I need to install a wine application from a cd and the executable flag prevents me from doing it
[00:28] <Hatori> Zteam. Change it
[00:28] <murfie> copy it to another medium first
[00:28] <brightspark> zteam: right-click>Properties>Permissions.  select the ones you want.
[00:29] <washuu_de> I want to use xdcc. I changed from maverick to natty. It worked in natty. now it is not working. Is that a correctly formed question ? Oh yes.. xdcc doesn't work since I upgraded.
[00:29] <zteam> Hatori, that won't work on a CD...
[00:30] <excelsior> how does one edit the gui Applications menu without using the gui editor? The gui editor doesn't work.
[00:31] <zteam> brightspark you can't change the permisson on a CD
[00:31] <frotzed> excelsior, what version?
[00:31] <Hatori> Excelsior. You can use a lot of basic editor. Almost of configuration was on plain files
[00:32] <indicator> Hi, I have a thinkpad T520 and for some reason, I cannot connect to wireless n access points
[00:33] <murfie> use a cable?
[00:33] <indicator> that's not a fix...
[00:33] <Hatori> Excelsior. You can copy it to disk
[00:33] <zteam> and if I try to run it from a commandline I get this
[00:33] <zteam> wine /media/cdrom/ installer.exe
[00:33] <frotzed> excelsior, maybe gedit ~/.local/share/applications/name.desktop
[00:34] <zteam> wine: cannot find L"C:\\windows\\system32\\plugplay.exe"
[00:34] <bigterd> anyone know of a good torrent client that will run in the background, and scan a folder for new *.torrent files, and automacically fire them up if detected?
[00:35] <frotzed> bigterd, pretty sure Deluge can be configured that way
[00:35] <qmanjr5> Is it possible to set an SFTP location to the sidebar?
[00:35] <murfie> rtorrent
[00:36] <bigterd> frotzed, thx  i'll check int oit.
[00:36] <murfie> no
[00:36] <murfie> use rtorrent
[00:37] <bigterd> garh! which is the simplist?
[00:37] <bigterd> prefer it to work on open or freebsd, but linux is fine.
[00:37] <genn> indicator: do you see the network?
[00:37] <murfie> as I said
[00:37] <murfie> rtorrent
[00:39] <frotzed> Depends on what you want.  Deluge has a gui, rtorrent is command line
[00:39] <frotzed> One is wildly popular, one is obscure.
[00:40] <bigterd> strictly ssh
[00:40] <bigterd> :/
[00:40] <bigterd> and it's a 486/66 with 8mb ram
[00:41] <frotzed> sounds like you need a console-driven client
[00:41] <excelsior> frotzed: thanks, but no cigar. I'm using 10.10, any other thoughts about where to find a way to edit the Applications menu? Someone has managed to mess it up, and I can't get the Office menu back where it belongs.

[00:43] <abstrakt> wtf, i can only see one line of text in irssi
[00:43] <abstrakt> weird, the user list is blocking the rest

[00:43] <bigterd> abstrakt, i tried to upgrade a 8x distro to the latest, but first i had to go to 9x, then 10x, then 11x, only to discover i had to use a gui to do it!

[00:48] <gotgnu> is there any way installing gnome 3.2 in ubuntu 11.10?
[00:48] <webnet> ok excelsior, right click the menu and select edit menus.
[00:49] <gnu_lorien> I can't seem to get ctrl alt backspace to work in Ubuntu 11.10. I use xfce so I tried the setxbmap setting from https://wiki.edubuntu.org/X/Config/DontZap and it doesn't seem to work
[00:50] <xangua> gotgnu: oneiric already uses gnome 3.2
[00:50] <glebihan> gotgnu, you're already running gnome3.2, if you mean gnome-shell, it's in the repos
[00:50] <webnet> that will allow you to edit the menu back to the way it was excelsior. pm if you need additional help
[00:50] <gotgnu> glebihan: so just sudo apt-get install gnome-shell?
[00:50] <frotzed> gotgnu, there are many many tuts online for using gnome-shell in ubuntu 11.10
[00:50] <glebihan> gotgnu, yes
[00:51] <gotgnu> glebihan: see I thought ubuntu 11.10 was gnome 3.0
[00:52] <glebihan> gotgnu, it's 3.2
[00:52] <gotgnu> glebihan: thanks man
[00:52] <glebihan> gotgnu, you're welcome

[00:54] <sbts-tv> hi all, are there any raid experts around?
[00:54] <sbts-tv> jikay: hi there

[00:54] <jikay> hi too
[00:54] <frotzed> jikay, I can try
[00:56] <polardude1983> When converting a video in command line how do i keep the original title? espcially when batch converting?
[00:57] <loglady> what do i type to switch to a different server
[00:58] <RxDx> i bought a notebook with nvidia optimus.. how can i enable the nvidia graphic card on ubuntu?
[00:58] <sbts-tv> polardude1983: i haven't seen anything you have said previously but, first would need to know what commandline you are using to do the conversion.
[00:59] <polardude1983> sbts-tv, here is the command line for what im using http://paste.ubuntu.com/765497/
[00:59] <sbts-tv> RxDx: there should be a menu item (normally in Applications>Settings or Applications>system) called "Additional Drivers"
[00:59] <loglady> irssi
[01:00] <loglady> join #logladyland
[01:00] <sbts-tv> loglady: check out "/help server" and "/help channel"
[01:00] <sbts-tv> loglady: that is for servers, if you want to join another channel look at "/help join"
[01:01] <sbts-tv> polardude1983: give me a moment to look
[01:01] <RxDx> sbts-tv: there are no officialy driver that supports optimus technology
[01:01] <``PeeR> someone is on weechat here?
[01:04] <Arcademan> Is there any directions on how to do a net install of Ubuntu I might find?
[01:04] <sbts-tv> RxDx: Oh, sorry I am so used to ubuntu being very wuick to have new nvidia drivers available.
[01:04] <LABcrab> Hello!  i have many files that end with ".temp" extension.  How can i bulk remove them please?
[01:04] <sbts-tv> RxDx: hve you found anything on the web regarding drivers for optimus?
[01:05] <webnet> LABcrab, why do you need to remove them?
[01:05] <Gskellig> can someone help me with a 403 forbidden apache error on my ubuntu server?
[01:05] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: with EXTREEM caution in each directory that contains the files try "rm *.temp" if it blows up your system don't blame me. please do read "man rm" first
[01:05] <LABcrab> webnet: Let me make a correction, sorry.
[01:06] <LABcrab> What i mean is to remove the ".temp" extension.  For example, rename "file1.png.temp" and "file2.mp3.temp" to "file1.png" and "file2.mp3".
[01:07] <velociostrich> Since dbus has replaced gconf, are all applications no longer using gconf? How can I remove the unnecessary keys in gconf that are now in gsettings/dconf?
[01:07] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: well that changes things quite a lot!!!!!
[01:08] <burnt1> hi, just moved from windows 7 to ubuntu, loving it
[01:08] <burnt1> got a q :)
[01:08] <burnt1> I dont see system menu on my tool bar
[01:08] <burnt1> just applications and places
[01:08] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: check out the man page for find. it has an option "exec" that will allow you to do what you want
[01:08] <xangua> velociostrich: don'y you mean Dconf ¿¿
[01:08] <LABcrab> sbts-tv: isn't there a blk page?
[01:08] <velociostrich> xangua: Yes, whoops
[01:08] <burnt1> am i doing anything wrong
[01:08] <xangua> dconf != dbus velociostrich
[01:09] <velociostrich> xangua: I know
[01:09] <velociostrich> xangua: Typo
[01:09] <velociostrich> or rather, a brainfart
[01:09] <sbts-tv> polardude1983: I am just having a look to see what I can find.
[01:09] <frotzed> burnt1: what functions are you looking for in particular?
[01:09] <burnt1> how do I system > prefs
[01:09] <polardude1983> sbts-tv, ok thank you
[01:09] <burnt1> sorry just system > preferences
[01:10] <abstrakt> so I just did sudo apt-get install nvidia-96
[01:10] <burnt1> so can set stuff, just dont seem to see it
[01:10] <abstrakt> and I totally screwed up my system
[01:10] <webnet> Ohhh LABcrab . ok
[01:10] <abstrakt> how can I undo this? is it possible?
[01:10] <frotzed> burnt1: the vast majority of those preferences are going to be managed via the "apps" in the dash
[01:10] <tmus> How do I install oneiric (desktop) on a preformatted / part? the installer seems to insist on mkfs'ing it?
[01:10] <chromaticwt> I have kernel 3.1.4 installed and I just compiled 3.1.5, how can I use ksplice to install the new kernel without rebooting?
[01:11] <burnt1> frotzed,  thanks, but going through guides trying to learn, and lots say goto system > preferences etc
[01:11] <velociostrich> chromaticwt: Deep wizardy.
[01:11] <burnt1> so struggling a bit
[01:11] <velociostrich> chromaticwt: I don't know if this is the right place for that kind of question, there might be a kernel related irc channel that's better
[01:11] <frotzed> burnt1: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[01:11] <chromaticwt> ok
[01:12] <robin0800> velociostrich: you use dconf editor
[01:12] <_cb> Am moving from Ubuntu 9 to Ubuntu 11. Will a backup from Evolution on 9 restore on 11 (Assume 11 comes with Evolution)
[01:12] <velociostrich> robin0800: You mean to say that in using dconf editor that will remove superflous gconf keys? That sounds unlikely
[01:13] <burnt1> latest
[01:13] <frotzed> burnt1: so on the dock on the left, on top is the link for the dash.  I'd start by exploring what the apps do in that dash.
[01:13] <root____1> Hiiiii guys
[01:13] <burnt1> but I installed old style gnome
[01:13] <burnt1> got rid of tool bar
[01:13] <burnt1> just want those options
[01:13] <frotzed> burnt1: ooohhhhh
[01:14] <burnt1> so can go system > preferences etc
[01:14] <RyanP> I'm running Oneiric. gnome-settings-daemon keeps crashing on me. Logging out, removing ~/.gconf and logging in works for that login. Is this something other people have seen?
[01:14] <sbts-tv> polardude1983: unfortunately handbrake doesn't give you an option to do that as far as I can see. so I think you should read "man find" and especially look at the "exec" option.
[01:14] <burnt1> im an it manager for a finance house so trying to get down with linux, so can migrate everything over
[01:14] <root____1> hii Guys i have problem when i do : Can't Find /dev/sr0 ; i don't have a SATA .. HELP HELP HELP HELP !!!!!!
[01:14] <polardude1983> sbts-tv, ok will do
[01:15] <sbts-tv> polardude1983: you basically need to use find to "find" each file and run handbrake on it using find's exec function
[01:15] <polardude1983> sbts-tv, k
[01:15] <robin0800> velociostrich: if they are common I guess it will but you can also install gconf editor
[01:15] <Mattheas> Does anyone know how to assign a specific driver to an ethernet port?
[01:16] <``PeeR> RyanP: what does it do when it crashs ?
[01:16] <burnt1> this is upsetting me a little... want system menu!
[01:16] <velociostrich> robin0800: That's not the problem. Since I've upgraded to 11.10, it left gconf keys that are no longer needed since there are dconf keys that do the same and those gconf keys are ignored. I was just curious if there was a way to remove them
[01:16] <webnet> LABcrab, i would say go to the desired directory in terminal.
[01:16] <mophead> Hi everyone! Where do I find my divx cache?
[01:16] <frotzed> burnt1: I understand your frustration
[01:17] <burnt1> why is it not there?
[01:17] <burnt1> they remove it or somthing
[01:17] <webnet> LABcrab, then type rm *.temp
[01:17] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: what do you mean by a "blk page" ?
[01:17] <webnet> Anyone want to second me on that
[01:18] <webnet> ???
[01:18] <chibas> Hey Guuyyys
[01:18] <frotzed> burnt1: unfortunately I can't help you much with your specific situation.  I'm very familiar with the old gnome 2 and the new Unity but not gnome 2 on 11.10
[01:18] <webnet> oh dont do that.
[01:18] <chibas> I Have Problem Can't Find /dev/sr0 ???????
[01:18] <webnet> LABcrab, dont follow my direction
[01:18] <RyanP> ``PeeR: My trackpad stops working and the file browser doesn't look or act right.
[01:18] <frotzed> * but not the gnome 2-style menus on 11.10
[01:18] <sbts-tv> webnet: if you read the rest of what LABcrab said, he made a mistake, he wants to rename, not remove
[01:19] <LABcrab> sbts-tv: Precisely.
[01:19] <Mattheas> Does anyone know how to assign a specific driver to an ethernet port? 3 of the ports on my multiport NIC have gone to eth*_rename
[01:19] <Ogredude> good lord, ejabberd is horrible
[01:19] <webnet> sbts-tv, yeah i just saw that thats why i said dont do what i said
[01:19] <LABcrab> i wish it was easier.  Sometimes there are bulk programs that rename picture files from "IMG2432.JPG" to "03 - Photo.jpg"
[01:19] <Mattheas> Ogredude: What was your first clue :D
[01:20] <mophead> Hi everyone! Where do I find my divx cache?
[01:20] <Ogredude> Mattheas: when I saw the config file was incomprehensible and the documentation was completely unhelpful
[01:20] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: it can be done with a script (bash, perl, etc) or outright using find.
[01:20] <webnet> sbts-tv, LABcrab  isnt a temp not actually the file but a temp file used when downloading?
[01:20] <LABcrab> sbts-tv: Is there a guide somewhere?
[01:20] <Ogredude> moving to jabberd2.  I read that its config is in XML.  I understand XML.
[01:21] <Mattheas> Ogredude: that's nothing. Openfire just released a software update that makes it impossible to use spark. SMH x4
[01:21] <LABcrab> webnet: That was simply an example.  :)
[01:21] <webnet> LABcrab, what do you mean
[01:21] <webnet> ??
[01:21] <burnt1> ah thanks frotzed
[01:21] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: a quick google search for these terms "linux use find to rename bulk files" shows up quite a few options
[01:21] <``PeeR> RyanP: did you just upgrade for 11.04 or 11.10 ?
[01:21] <Mattheas> Does anyone know how to assign a specific driver to an ethernet port? 3 of the ports on my multiport NIC have gone to eth*_rename
[01:22] <LABcrab> But they must keep their original name!
[01:22] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: yep

[01:23] <RyanP> ``PeeR: It's a new install.
[01:23] <robin0800> velociostrich: your best bet is a good backup and a clean install but gconv is still migrating to dconv and a certain amount of duplication still exists though very few gconf keys appear to work now
[01:23] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: goes to show, even a knowledgeable person can learn, I had not used rename before, one of the links I mentioned is about the same as yours
[01:23] <``PeeR> RyanP: new install, did you read this : http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/04/10-things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-11-04/ ???
[01:23] <webnet> OK LABcrab, here go to dir command: mv *.jpg.temp *.jpg
[01:24] <webnet> Second me sbts-tv ?
[01:24] <``PeeR> it's not most up to date RyanP but it could help
[01:24] <velociostrich> robin0800: In that case I'll just leave it alone. Hopefully by the next release dconf will have fully replaced gconf and perhaps the installation scripts will take care of the unnecessary keys, or it will be possible to simply remove gconf altogether.
[01:24] <LABcrab> :D
[01:24] <mophead> Hi everyone! Where do I find my divx cache? Trying to play a streaming file in vlc
[01:24] <sbts-tv> webnet: not so sure that will work, I think the shell globbing and expansion may cause a major stuff up there.
[01:25] <sbts-tv> webnet: the rename command is actually designed to do the job
[01:25] <Ogredude> Mattheas: really?  That sucks.
[01:25] <Ogredude> I'm only guessing at this point that jabberd2 is going to be okay
[01:25] <LABcrab> webnet: Doesn't accept anything but directories.  :(
[01:25] <``PeeR> RyanP:  it's not most up to date RyanP but it could help
[01:25] <webnet> sbts-tv, ok. makes sense
[01:25] <Mattheas> Ogredude: XMPP as a community has lost their minds
[01:26] <RyanP> ``PeeR: Yes, I've got the updates installed, and the additional drivers installed and such. I won't swear to it, but I'm thinking this might have started happening after the most recent updates.
[01:26] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: I have been doing embedded linux system design and server support etc for nearly 20 years and never had occasion to use rename so thankyou for helping me learn a little more
[01:26] <Ogredude> it looks like there's about fifteen zillion different XMPP servers available, and absolutely no indications of which ones are decent and which ones are crap.
[01:26] <Ogredude> I only installed ejabberd because it's what was listed on Ubuntu's wiki page
[01:26] <LABcrab> sbts-tv: you're welcome.  :)  But webnet's command only seems to work with directories.
[01:26] <Ogredude> all I want is an internal IM server, dangit :)
[01:27] <``PeeR> RyanP: well yeah I think developpers have a lot of job, this is a big change... Can't believe they already releas 12.xx ...
[01:27] <webnet> un try adding -R to the end of mv LABcrab
[01:27] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: not true, mv will take directories, or file, or for that matter even devices. but used like webnet mentioned it will make a mess of everything.
[01:27] <LABcrab> Doesn't accept it.
[01:27] <RyanP> ``PeeR: Oh sure. I was just wondering if this was a known problem or anything.
[01:28] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: I recommend making a copy of a few files into a temp directory and testing BEFORE running on live data. you could even just use "touch" to create a few empty files and try it out
[01:28] <webnet> ok sbts-tv is right LABcrab
[01:28] <``PeeR> RyanP: not by me sadly... sorry
[01:29] <RyanP> ``PeeR: Ok, thanks
[01:29] <``PeeR> RyanP: you're welcome
[01:30] <sbts-tv> webnet: mv has no -R option :)
[01:30] <vitaldoc> -R
[01:30] <diverdud`> -r
[01:31] <webnet> sbts-tv, you are correct. lol idk i must have been thinking of the rm command. recursive is already implied on a move command
[01:31] <sbts-tv> diverdud`: mv doesn't have a recurse (-R or -r) option, sorry :)
[01:31] <LABcrab> sbts-tv: Doesn't work for me at all. Does nothing.
[01:32] <mattgyver> My Wireless card suddenly became disabled but was working earlier, any suggestions? (10.10)
[01:32] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: please paste your exact command
[01:32] <webnet> ^^ yes
[01:33] <|Long|> hi guys, is there a cmd can tell me which hard drive is not mounted?
[01:33] <mattgyver> disregard, I had a moment.
[01:34] <LABcrab> "mv -r *.*.temp *.*"
[01:34] <webnet> sbts-tv, what if he used the -v parameter in mv
[01:35] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: no you can't use mv, if you want a ready to go command you MUST use rename
[01:35] <webnet> ok. lol. i know from experience bulk rename is semi complicated with the rename comman
[01:35] <webnet> *command
[01:35] <sbts-tv> webnet: mv is designed to handle one file or the top of a dir branch only. it actually does no processing on multiple files.
[01:36] <LABcrab> sbts-tv: Can you help me please?
[01:36] <webnet> sbts-tv, OHHH ok gotcha
[01:36] <pierre_desktop> Hi, I installed a new theme with icons and all. It was a .deb file but when I try to look for it in package manager, it's nowhere to be found. Another user tried to desinstall it from the terminal but then it wrecked his ubuntu installation. Would there be a way to reinstall the gnome default theme at all? I'm running Ubuntu 11.04
[01:36] <milamber> |Long|: are you looking for: sudo fdisk -l    ?
[01:36] <michaeljwjr> Why is it that no matter what when I update my drivers on my video card, my System Info still always says "VESA:CYPRESS" under Graphics ?
[01:36] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: if you could pasebin the output of ls for a sample of the files you want to rename please
[01:37] <|Long|> milamber, that doesn't tell me which drive is not mouted
[01:37] <usr13> |Long|: mount
[01:37] <n0sq> i'm having trouble converting 2 mandriva machines to ubuntu 11.10 - i formatted all partitions except for /home but i can't login except as guest - i won't lose much data if i formatted /home but i'd rather not do that
[01:38] <LABcrab> Substitution replacement not terminated at (eval 1) line 1.
[01:38] <LABcrab> 1 : commande introuvable
[01:38] <|Long|> usr13, yes that work thanks alot
[01:38] <sbts-tv> |Long|: there are two commands you should try, "mount" which will tell you what is mounted, and "sudo blkid" which will tell you what drives are on the system. also "cat /proc/partitions"
[01:39] <|Long|> sbts-tv, thanks
[01:39] <usr13> n0sq: Just use same user name and do not format /home/user
[01:39] <LABcrab> i almost want to give up and rename them manually!  :O  :(  :'(
[01:39] <webnet> LABcrab, try this:
[01:39] <milamber> |Long|: also the command: df
[01:40] <webnet> LABcrab, find /folder/the/files/are/in/ -name *.jpg.temp -exec rename -n 's/jpg.temp$/jpg/'
[01:41] <BarkingFish> ah, webnet - did you manage to sort out kripton and his graphics issues earlier?
[01:41] <michaeljwjr> Why is it that no matter what when I update my drivers on my video card, my System Info still always says "VESA:CYPRESS" under Graphics ?
[01:41] <n0sq> usr13: i did that but i can't log in - it seems that it accepts the password but i keep getting dumped back to the login screen
[01:42] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: I think you will have some luck with something like "rename s/.temp// *.temp"
[01:43] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: have you read the man page for rename? also check this link for some examples http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2009/06/how-to-rename-files-in-group/
[01:43] <usr13> n0sq: Sounds like the system either did not use the existing /home/ partition, or it is full.  ( /home/ is on a seperate partition, right?)
[01:43] <usr13> n0sq: df
[01:43] <n0sq> usr13: yes - /, /usr, /var,/home are different partions
[01:43] <meni> hi
[01:44] <LABcrab> All i get is an evil blinking cursor!
[01:44] <usr13> n0sq: I don't know then.
[01:44] <n0sq> i tried going back to mandriva and had the same problem
[01:44] <``PeeR>  my mouse...
[01:44] <meni> i want to make usb that can boot ubuntu,also that ill be able to save changes on this usb, Universal-USB-Installer can do that right?
[01:44] <usr13> n0sq: Could it be that the /home/ partition is full?
[01:44]  * n0sq hates these live cd's because you can't customize the install
[01:45] <``PeeR> when I scrollup the wheel... it makes like I was doing BACK... in firefox but also in everything where I can do BACK...
[01:45] <n0sq> usr13: nope, not full
[01:45] <LABcrab> sbts-tv: Typing that just gives me an empty cursor that keeps blinking.
[01:45] <usr13> n0sq: I don't know.  I've done it myself and so I know it works, not sure where you may have gone wrong. Sorry...
[01:46] <FuzzyNuts> Hi, do you want the boinc ball case?
[01:46] <FuzzyNuts> I need help, I just repackaked Fuduntu with AmigaOS Kernel instead of Stable 3.0.1 Kernel of Linux while driving my blue mustang to Red Blue Hat Offices!
[01:46] <sbts-tv> n0sq: can you login as any user? if so start a terminal and use "ls -la /home" to find out what user and group own the directories there. then "grep username /etc/passwd" and "grep groupname /etc/group" and make sure things look right
[01:46] <webnet> BarkingFish, nope
[01:46] <sidney_> can someone [lease tell me how to tell which repository is old or outdated and how to remove them http://paste.ubuntu.com/765080/
[01:47] <sbts-tv> LABcrab: as I asked before can you please pastebin output of "ls" for the directory you need to rename files in
[01:47] <n0sq> sbts-tv: only as guest
[01:47] <sw> And actually it was Fwet who had Blue Car as his Mustang is very very very blue. My car isn''t classified as blue as it's colour code is Navy Blue so it's not really blue.
[01:47] <usr13> n0sq: I suppose you could boot into failsafe mode and create another user, give new user admin privileges, (and all other necessary privileges), and then log in as the new user and try to fix it from there.
[01:47] <sbts-tv> n0sq: that should be fine
[01:47] <FuzzyNuts> Guys, HELP! I just repackaked Fuduntu with AmigaOS Kernel instead of Stable 3.0.1 Kernel of Linux while driving my blue mustang to Red Blue Hat Offices!
[01:47] <FuzzyNuts> What do I do?
[01:47] <n0sq> usr13: i don't know what the problem is either because i've put ubuntu on 2 other laptops with no problems
[01:48] <n0sq> usr13: there is no failsafe option given at boot
[01:48] <milamber> sidney_: that looks like a stock set for lucid . . . are you experiencing any issues specifically? you may just need to comment out the line for the cd . . .
[01:48] <n0sq> no grub menu at all
[01:48] <usr13> n0sq: Don't remember, but you should see it at the grub boot menu
[01:48] <FuzzyNuts> disregard this i'm a dumbass
[01:48] <``PeeR> not sure if I've been clear...
[01:49] <``PeeR>  my mouse...
[01:49] <``PeeR> when I scrollup the wheel... it makes like I was doing BACK... in firefox but also in everything where I can do BACK...
[01:49] <FuzzyNuts> Can anyone help me? Fuduntu still wasn't 2 years ago.
[01:49] <n0sq> usr13: there is no grub menu at all
[01:49] <sw> and I have thermodynamics netbook with truck power instead of passenger car performance engine
[01:49] <``PeeR> FuzzyNuts: ask

[01:50] <hendaus> help please
[01:50] <milamber> sidney_: can you pastebin the output of: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:50] <usr13> n0sq: What do you mean there is no grub menu?  Sure there is.  Hit Esc as it is starting to boot.  (Keep hitting it because the time window is narrow.)
[01:50] <milamber> usr13: isn't it right shift for grub?
[01:50] <hendaus> what is the code to convert wav to mp3 on ffmpeg_
[01:51] <FuzzyNuts> WILL SOMEBODY ME BLOODY HELP?!
[01:51] <usr13> n0sq: milamber says it's shift  Yea, hold down the shift key.
[01:51] <sw> Learn the space science or GTFO
[01:51] <sbts-tv> hendaus: not to be rude, have you read the manpage for ffmepg? "man ffmpeg"
[01:51] <usr13> milamber: I think most any key will do it but shift is more-than-likely best to use.
[01:52] <FuzzyNuts> FUCKING HELL, I NEED HELP!
[01:52] <usr13> n0sq: So hold down the shift key.
[01:52] <milamber> !language | FuzzyNuts
[01:52] <usr13> someone boot FuzzyNuts
[01:52] <hendaus> sbts-tv,  hi friend, i am newbie and i dont know much on ubuntu
[01:52] <FuzzyNuts> Just because you don't know the space science
[01:52] <n0sq> usr13: isn't the grub menu suppose to come up by default? why should i have to press any key to see the grub menu?
[01:53] <nick000> in unity why can't i hold down my arrow keys ?? this is driving crazy when trying to code
[01:53] <``PeeR> google is your friend if you don't find here what you're looking for...

[01:53] <LinoSP> hi   Is ext4 fs  a good choice for a 10 yo system?

[01:53] <usr13> !ops
[01:53] <nick000> this is happening every couple of days ;/
[01:53] <milamber> LinoSP: it is fine for general use, any particular reason you ask?
[01:54] <stepnjump> I installed a .deb package but the package is not listed in the Ubuntu Software Center. Should I be able to remove it by apt-get install package-name.deb?
[01:54] <FuzzyNuts> LinoSP: I'd say ReiserFS, then use it to kill your wife
[01:54] <hendaus> sbts-tv,  can u help me please
[01:54] <stepnjump> sorry apt-get remove ...
[01:54] <``PeeR> exit
[01:54] <nick000> I have spoken to other people and they have had the same issue.. is there any workaround to allow the arrow keys to work correctly ??
[01:54] <``PeeR> lol
[01:54] <``PeeR> sorry, wrong window
[01:54] <n0sq> usr13: i couldn't get it to come up - it shouldn't go by that fast anyway
[01:54] <sbts-tv> hendaus: for questions like that there are a large number of examples on the web, a google search for "ffmpeg wav to mp3" should be informative
[01:54] <milamber> stepnjump: unless you installed it as a package probably not. you have to use dpkg
[01:54] <Soath> dpkg -r
[01:55] <LinoSP> milamber: because im installing   lubuntu in an old  Laptop with 160MB of RAM
[01:55] <FuzzyNuts> do rm -rf
[01:55] <sidney_> milamber, http://paste.ubuntu.com/765528/
[01:55] <milamber> LinoSP: then ext4 is fine
[01:55] <usr13> n0sq: Did you hold down the Shift key the whole time?
[01:55] <stepnjump> milamber ok and how should I find the packages name?
[01:55] <hendaus> sbts-tv,  ok i read from websites but i come to here to get a help if someone help
[01:55] <sbts-tv> hendaus: also most linux utilities will have a "manpage" for ffmpeg if you run "man ffmpeg" at the command line (terminal) you will be able to read all about it, including get some examples
[01:55] <milamber> stepnjump: are you not sure what the package is called?
[01:55] <Syco54645> hm
[01:55] <FuzzyNuts> Who said dixie dancer?
[01:56] <usr13> n0sq: What version of Ubuntu did you install?
[01:56] <LinoSP> milamber: thx ;)
[01:56] <milamber> sidney_: that usually means you are trying to run it from the command line with software center open
[01:56] <stepnjump> yes of course... ok.. I thought they were called something else hum.... ok milamber  thanks let me try it
[01:56] <sw> I think A500 is my only real hope argumenting here
[01:56] <stepnjump> dpkg -r or -P milamber ?
[01:56] <Bibo> Are you trying to convert music or video or something??
[01:56] <milamber> sidney_: only one program can access the directory at a time

[01:57] <nick000> has anyone else had the same issues with 11.10 unity where they can't hold down their arrow keys ???
[01:57] <milamber> stepnjump: -r will leave the config files -P removes everything
[01:57] <FuzzyNuts> nick000: Use a decent OS, programmed by those with intelligence in UI design?
[01:57] <stepnjump> milamber it was a theme package, with new icon set, etc... After uninstalling, will Gnome default icons automatically revert back?

[02:03] <elky> FuzzyNuts, please behave
[02:03] <Ibis> FuzzyNuts: Or use Peazip inside windows.  Should I do an update or anything or just log out and log back in?
[02:04] <Ibis> Peazip/7zip are wonderful free alternatives. No need for silly "winRAR".

[02:19] <usr13> Ricklee: What version of Ubuntu did you install?
[02:19] <sbts-tv> ``PeeR: yep, the root password when set, opens up potential security holes. on a system that uses sudo it should never be set

[02:24] <Ricklee> Someone help me....
[02:24] <usr13> Ricklee: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[02:25] <sbts-tv> colloquialismic: it would appear that you don't have a network cable correctly connected
[02:26] <nick000> webnet: do i change the input method ?
[02:26] <webnet> select keyboard nick000
[02:27] <colloquialismic> sbts-tv, no... it is fully connected :(
[02:27] <usr13> Ricklee: You can fix it.  See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[02:28] <sbts-tv> colloquialismic: hmmmmm, let me look again....
[02:28] <webnet> nick000,  put a check in the repeat keys checkbox
[02:28] <meni> hi
[02:28] <usr13> Ricklee: But maybe you need to first check cmos settings to see if it is set to boot to HD
[02:28] <sidney_> You know i configured this firewall two weeks ago and haven't heard from it at all. Wonder if it really works
[02:28] <Ricklee> It's set to boot from my only Hdd
[02:29] <meni> ive installed ubuntu on usb, i missing wireless driver, how i can download the driver for ubuntu and install it from the usb plesae?:)
[02:29] <sbts-tv> colloquialismic: do you have a network cable connected, or are you trying to use wireless?
[02:29] <colloquialismic> sbts-tv, it is wireless, and my router is connected... i can use it on windows..
[02:29] <nick000> thanks webnet !
[02:29] <webnet> no prob. was it unchecked nick000?
[02:29] <webnet> was that the problem?
[02:29] <sbts-tv> colloquialismic: ahhhhhh, wireless. what version of ubuntu are you using?
[02:30] <meni> anyone please?^_^
[02:30] <usr13> sidney_: CanYouSeeMe.org
[02:31] <Ricklee> Seventh install and it boots fine lol.
[02:31] <usr13> meni: see what it is first.  lspci
[02:31] <Ricklee> How would I add windows 7 and windows xp to my Hdd and have it show up on the boot menu?
[02:31] <meni> im switch to windows atm
[02:32] <meni> because i cant use wireless on ubuntu :S
[02:32] <sidney_> usr13, great thanks
[02:32] <sbts-tv> meni: what wireless card?
[02:32] <postgres> test
[02:33] <usr13> Ricklee: If you left free-space on the first part of the primary drive, install there.  Otherwize start over.  But better still, install vbox
[02:33] <colloquialismic> sbts-tv, I am using 10.04 LTS
[02:33] <usr13> !vbox | Ricklee
[02:33] <meni> may be dell wireless 1397 WLAN mini-lan?
[02:33] <Gskellig> this cafe i'm in actually blocks ssh traffic
[02:33] <Gskellig> why the hell would you do that
[02:34] <sbts-tv> Ricklee: as far as I know, you need to install xp first, then win7 then ubuntu, as xp trashes everthing else and win7 trashes the bootloader, while ubuntu gets it right. there are of course "difficult" methods that can be used to do it other ways, but not any I would recommend
[02:34] <usr13> !dual-boot | Ricklee
[02:34] <Ricklee> You guys think its better to use virtual box rather then use install the OS on my Hdd?
[02:34] <Gskellig> Ricklee, honestly it depends on what you want to do with it
[02:34] <usr13> Gskellig: Ask the sysadmin, (not us).
[02:34] <Ibis> Ricklee: Depends on your intentions.
[02:34] <Gskellig> just bitching
[02:34] <Gskellig> i dont think this cafe has a sysadmin
[02:34] <Gskellig> lol
[02:34] <meni> ?
[02:34] <sbts-tv> colloquialismic: ok, click on the network icon, and tell me if your wireless network is listed there
[02:35] <webnet> JOIN #ubuntu
[02:35] <usr13> Gskellig: I doubt seriously that any hotspot would allow ssh
[02:35] <Ricklee> I can't get league of legends to run on ubuntu so I guess I would use it fir that
[02:35] <Gskellig> =\ all the other cafes in this area have
[02:35] <colloquialismic> sbts-tv, Yup
[02:35] <usr13> Gskellig: Every network has a sysadmin
[02:35] <sbts-tv> meni: that isn't really any help. please wait a few minutes and I will try and help you
[02:35] <Gskellig> well then their sysadmin was the guy from qwest who came and setup their network like 3 years ago
[02:36] <sbts-tv> Ricklee: absolutely
[02:36] <meni> sure tyvm
[02:36] <Guest23855> hi, does anyone know how to disable the visualizations in the Totem browser plugin in firefox? running Ubuntu 11.10, and I'm a bit of a noob
[02:36] <sbts-tv> colloquialismic: is it showing as connected, or just available?
[02:37] <colloquialismic> sbts-tv, available
[02:37] <Ricklee> So virtual box would be the best choice to run league of legends? Or if you guys know a way to run it on ubuntu?
[02:37] <sbts-tv> colloquialismic: is your wireless net configured for some level of wep or wpa encription?
[02:38] <brightspark> meni: is it possible to get a wired connection to the internet on the machine missing the wireless driver?  That would be the simplest way to get it working.
[02:38] <Gskellig> Ricklee, have you tried wine/playonlinux
[02:38] <Ricklee> Yea it didn't work
[02:38] <happygolucky> Guest23855: Edit>Preferences>Display untick the show visualizations when audio file is played radio button
[02:38] <Ibis> usr13: That's kinda stupid... Windows don't use SSH as far as I know.     And generally, linux SSH is secured well.  You would have to be stupid to have your system hacked up, unless theres a security hole I'm missing.
[02:38] <intensdown_> hi. anyone here knows about message queues and threads in C?
[02:39] <meni> not directly,i can connect this computer to another computer that has internet (with LAN) ?
[02:39] <colloquialismic> sbts-tv, uh.... maybe thats the issue
[02:39] <sbts-tv> intensdown_: try #C
[02:39] <intensdown_> but i need an invite
[02:39] <meni> or i can download from windows and copy to usb?
[02:39] <Guest23855> happygolucky: is that for the broser plugin or the app itself? I don't see any prefs for the plugin
[02:39] <sbts-tv> colloquialismic: I would start off by removing all encription on the network if you can. then test to make sure you can connect.
[02:40] <Ibis> usr13: In fact, desktop versions of ubuntu probably doesn't ship out with ssh connectablity (That's ubuntu server, I'm sure this is true, I was mad I couldn't connect to my desktop until I installed something to do with SSH).
[02:40] <webnet> REGISTER
[02:40] <sbts-tv> colloquialismic: once you can connect readd WPA2 encription.
[02:40] <happygolucky> Guest23855: the app, i'm sorry.
[02:40] <sbts-tv> colloquialismic: be warned earlier versions of the wireless stack did have issues with WPA.
[02:40] <Guest23855> np
[02:40] <brightspark> meni: you will need to determine the package you need.  Do you know the name of the package  containing the drivers you are missing?
[02:41] <sbts-tv> colloquialismic: also make sure you use WPA and not WEP. WEP is very easy to crack
[02:41] <Guest23855> maybe I'll try uninstalling the plugin and see if there are settings available at install
[02:41] <meni> :S
[02:41] <webnet> register athlonx2<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[02:42] <meni> i guess not ,how i can check that?
[02:42] <arooni-mobile> how do i check the mail for that user
[02:43] <sbts-tv> colloquialismic: iirc there were also issues with some devices that could operate in "WPA/WPA2" mode. you should always use either "WPA" or "WPA2" with wpa2 being the preference
[02:43] <meni> brightspark- how i can check which package i need?
[02:44] <sbts-tv> meni: please run "lspci" and look for entries showing something like "wireless" or "802.11" and finally "network"
[02:44] <Elw3> where do i permanently disable swap use ?
[02:44] <sbts-tv> Elw3: why would you want to disable swap?
[02:44] <brightspark> meni: See if there is a menu option under System- something like Additional Drivers or Hardware Drivers.  That ought to have information on which you can install.
[02:45] <Elw3> sbts-tv: to spin down the hd
[02:46] <meni2> which command you said to run again please:)
[02:46] <brightspark> See if there is a menu option under System- something like Additional Drivers or Hardware Drivers.  That ought to have information on which you can install.
[02:46] <webnet> anyone here have perminent nick? need a little help really quick. PM me :D
[02:47] <sbts-tv> Elw3: if swap is keeping the hdd spun up the disabling it will crash your system, due to lack of memory
[02:47] <meni2> ive got hardware drivers
[02:48] <meni2> that isnt good?:S
[02:48] <sbts-tv> meni: so you are all sorted?
[02:48] <meni2> no:S
[02:49] <brightspark> meni2: your original post stated you were missing drivers- please clarify
[02:49] <meni2> im assuming, because ive just install ubuntu on usb and try to connect from wireless
[02:49] <meni2> and its disable
[02:50] <Ricklee> Any comparability issues with 11.10 64 bit?
[02:50] <meni2> maybe that? broadcom b43 wireless driver and broadcom STA wireless driver?
[02:50] <Elw3> sbts-tv: is this a "why" or a "how" channel, i know what im doing, i alredy have swapoff and hdparm in rc.local , i just wonder if there is a more professional way to keep the hd sillent as the rc.local solution
[02:51] <meni2> or that ? : broadcom corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g ?
[02:51] <meni2> (rev 01) *
[02:52] <sbts-tv> Elw3: well the obvious solution to me if you *really* don't want swap, would be to either delete the swap partition or change its partition type to something else
[02:52] <brightspark> meni2: I am confused now as to your problem.  Can you please describe exactly what you are finding that is unexpected?  Are you missing the network icon?  Is the wireless option greyed out?
[02:53] <meni2> greyed
[02:53] <meni2> with red "!"
[02:53] <sbts-tv> Elw3: but having said that, swap should only wake up the drive when swap is needed, and never at any other time. linux is very good at managing memory, so if you have enough ram, swap won't touch the drive
[02:53] <wspardaw> hi people
[02:53] <wspardaw> how you all doing
[02:54] <sidney_> Will someone please take a look @ my repository source and tell me if anything is wrong  http://paste.ubuntu.com/765563/   http://paste.ubuntu.com/765565/
[02:54] <brightspark> meni2: does it give you a description of why there is an exclamation point there?  Maybe you must hover the mouse over it or something?
[02:54] <meni2> disconnected?
[02:54] <meni2> both btw
[02:55] <indystorm> hey any hot bitchez in here?
[02:55] <Tech-1> shaddap!
[02:55] <Elw3> sbts-tv: then i play a bit with hpparm to adjust the times i guess... i had just juse the -y option
[02:55] <brightspark> meni2: That explains the grey option but not the exclamation point.
[02:56] <wspardaw> hi people
[02:56] <brightspark> indystorm: go to #defocus for that
[02:56] <meni2> i dont have alot knowledge in ubuntu:S please ask whatever needed
[02:56] <Elw3> later then
[02:56] <sbts-tv> Elw3: there are a number of things that can keep the drive awake. especially a number of daemons that run and access the disk.
[02:57] <wspardaw> I found a "bug" that i believe should be set to whislist because is a feature request
[02:57] <wspardaw> any body?
[02:57] <szal> wspardaw: bugs go in Launchpad, not much use coming to IRC w/ that
[02:57] <Scorpio> hi there! I'm looking for a lightweight alternative to ubuntu with access to the ubuntu repos. I've tried lubuntu and its great and all but the file manager is too limiting imho. Any solutions? maybe a better file manager or a different flavor all together ?
[02:58] <FerchoLP> I use xubuntu and I think it's great
[02:58] <brightspark> meni2, I am using an older version, so I can't walk you through the menus.  My best guess is that you are missing a proprietary driver.  I would suggest you determine which driver you need, use Synaptic to get the package on another machine and copy it over via usb.  Someone with the new version will be better positioned to help you.
[02:58] <wspardaw> i cant change it to whishlist
[02:59] <meni2> that maybe those : ?
[02:59] <meni2> maybe that? broadcom b43 wireless driver and broadcom STA wireless driver OR  broadcom corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g
[02:59] <Scorpio> FerchoLP: heard it has lost its lightness so to speak. That true ?
[02:59] <wspardaw> big number #902235
[03:00] <FerchoLP> Scorpio I really coudn't say because I'm using it since a few months ago. BUT it is really lighter than Ubuntu/Kubuntu, specially if you don't install kde-libs
[03:00] <brightspark> meni2, I do not know enough about the new version of ubuntu to properly help you determine the cause of the problem.  You may find someone more up-to-date if you hang around in the channel for a while.
[03:01] <meni2> k ty for help:)
[03:01] <brightspark> meni2, good luck.
[03:01] <FerchoLP> I've used Xubuntu with KDE stuff like Yakuake, Kate etc. Now I made a freshh install without those nor any packge dependant on kde, and I think it run smoother

[03:33] <threezero> almost pull my hair out trying to figure it out
[03:33] <SwedeMike> ubuntu_n00b: look into "ntpd"
[03:33] <meni2> GNOME as i see
[03:34] <jmc93739653> ntpdate and a cron script can correct time drif, if run regularly.
[03:34] <ubuntu_n00b> http://www.starling-software.com/en/blog/sysadmin/2010/04/04.making-ntp-work-on-hardware-with-large-clock-drift.html
[03:34] <pfifo> http://imagebin.org/187882
[03:34] <SwedeMike> jmc93739653: ntpd is better, it continously makes sure it's correct, ntpdate will make the clock jump meaning you might miss (or run twice) cron events etc
[03:34] <Elw3> meni2,  when right klick on network thingie does it show a enable wireless box ?
[03:35] <meni2> that enabled
[03:35] <mrdeb> hi
[03:35] <jmc93739653> SwedeMike, thanks for the knowledge drop /me doffs cap.
[03:35] <SwedeMike> jmc93739653: well, that article probably knows better than anyone in here.
[03:35] <mrdeb> what article
[03:36] <threezero> also having problem with java plugin
[03:36] <SwedeMike> jmc93739653: oh, sorry.
[03:36] <Elw3> meni2, just wantet to know if the applet have found your card by that ^^
[03:36] <SwedeMike> ubuntu_n00b: that article is probably right.
[03:36] <ubuntu_n00b> http://packages.ubuntu.com/en/lucid/admin/adjtimex check out that package
[03:36] <threezero> i need to access a stocks website and usually on windows it will pop up a window telling u to install a signed plugin
[03:36] <threezero> that window won't come in up ubuntu
[03:36] <ubuntu_n00b> since i have an amd processor, should i download the amd64 package?
[03:36] <meni2> i realy dont know anything from the problem just try follow up from here ^_^
[03:37] <mrdeb> ubuntu_n00b: yes u cna but you dont have to. but it will be faster
[03:37] <xangua> threezero: because is a windows plugin¿
[03:37] <poyntz> almoxarife: just some sound. i've tried setting the primary driver to both my speakers and my internal audio. i get nothing
[03:37] <threezero> its java based
[03:37] <xangua> ubuntu_n00b: is it 64bit¿
[03:37] <threezero> i have got it working on mac before
[03:37] <ubuntu_n00b> no 32
[03:37] <ubuntu_n00b> that's why i'm confused..
[03:38] <Arm0ur> ubuntu_n00b amd64 packages are for 64-bit installations
[03:38] <mrdeb> what cpu is it
[03:38] <xangua> ubuntu_n00b: then go for 32bit
[03:38] <jmc93739653> I use 2.north-america.pool.ntp.org (i hope i have that right)
[03:38] <ubuntu_n00b> i don't see the option on that page..
[03:38] <mrdeb> what amd is it
[03:38] <xangua> threezero: there is a post on webupd8 that tells you how to install both java6 and java7, since oracle java is no longer on ubuntu repository
[03:38] <xangua> http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/things-to-tweak-after-installing-ubuntu.html
[03:39] <threezero> thank you
[03:39] <threezero> oh no i'm running 11.04 =\
[03:39] <threezero> i can't update
[03:39] <Elw3> meni2, im lacking myself a wireless device to guide you trough this ...
[03:39] <almoxarife> poyntz: you tried doing this thru the gui or did you go all script-warrior on it?
[03:39] <Arm0ur> ubuntu_n00b: the i386 package will be fine if you are using a 32 bit OS
[03:39] <poyntz> almoxarife: just tried alsamixer
[03:39] <meni2> k ty :/
[03:40] <ubuntu_n00b> AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3500+
[03:40] <meni2>  !patience | meni2
[03:40] <mrdeb> ubuntu_n00b: that will work with 64 bit so get that one, its faster
[03:40] <almoxarife> poyntz: what version of ubuntu? btw, alsamixer is not the default setup for sound in ubuntu
[03:41] <M41nFr4m3> hi im on 10.04 and when i try to connec to my wifi i see the two green dots and the blue thing goin and the wep key keyring keeps showing up i was connected to my router just fine yesterday i am currently on the SAME router, only on windows. which connects just fine
[03:41] <M41nFr4m3> http://paste.ubuntu.com/765585/
[03:41] <ubuntu_n00b> how can i use a package manager to install?
[03:42] <mrdeb> you go to software center or u can use terminal which is easy
[03:42] <ubuntu_n00b> is there any way to install that package through the app center? (or whatever it's called in ubuntu)
[03:42] <mrdeb> yes soft center
[03:42] <Arm0ur> ubuntu_n00b: Open a terminal. sudo dpkg -i package_name.deb
[03:42] <mrdeb> no
[03:42] <mrdeb> you do sudo apt-get install
[03:43] <poyntz> almoxarife: i'm using kubuntu oneriic
[03:43] <poyntz> oneiric
[03:43] <Arm0ur> mrdeb: I guess ubuntu_n00b downloaded the package ?
[03:43] <ubuntu_n00b> not yet, i haven't
[03:43] <mrdeb> no he needs 64bit
[03:43] <mrdeb> he is just asking how to do it later
[03:44] <ubuntu_n00b> why do i need 64 bit?
[03:44] <mrdeb> bec it is faster
[03:44] <mrdeb> u dont need it, but everything works with it now
[03:45] <ubuntu_n00b> so if i download the package and then run the apt-get install command, will the package automatically install?
[03:45] <mrdeb> no u dont need to dl packages
[03:45] <mrdeb> u go into software center and find programs then install it. but u could dl the deb and install it also
[03:46] <ubuntu_n00b> i'd rather install this through the terminal
[03:46] <ubuntu_n00b> the software center runs slowly
[03:46] <mrdeb> ok so terminal u do sudo apt-get install firefox
[03:46] <mrdeb> same thing
[03:46] <poyntz> my internal audio keeps getting set to mute
[03:46] <poyntz> and i can't unmute it
[03:46] <poyntz> please help
[03:47] <ubuntu_n00b> i'm sorry, i don't understand. i already have firefox installed
[03:47] <mrdeb> y not
[03:47] <poyntz> - when i try to click unmute nothing happens
[03:47] <mrdeb> it can be anything, firefox is only example
[03:47] <mrdeb> ok
[03:47] <M41nFr4m3> hi im on 10.04 and when i try to connec to my wifi i see the two green dots and the blue thing goin and the wep key keyring keeps showing up i was connected to my router just fine yesterday i am currently on the SAME router, only on windows. which connects just fine
[03:47] <M41nFr4m3> http://paste.ubuntu.com/765585/
[03:47] <ubuntu_n00b> oh, how can i find the name of the package?
[03:47] <mrdeb> is the sound card installed
[03:47] <mrdeb> online
[03:47] <mrdeb> or seach apt
[03:47] <mrdeb> idk how though
[03:48] <ubuntu_n00b> do i have to include the version?
[03:48] <almoxarife> poyntz: I am not sure what the gui looks like for sound config on kubuntu, this much should hold true, seems like you got two pieces of sound 'hardware' one analog the other digital-hdmi, the analog should be simple, the hdmi has multiple options (profiles), one of those will provide you with sound via hdmi cable
[03:48] <ubuntu_n00b> or just adjtimex
[03:48] <mrdeb> ubuntu_n00b: no it will install newest
[03:49] <ubuntu_n00b> thanks!
[03:49] <ubuntu_n00b> it's installing
[03:49] <M41nFr4m3> now can I get some support?
[03:50] <poyntz> almoxarife: correct. i just discovered that pulseaudio jacked the soundsystem. it wasn't alsa
[03:50] <mrdeb> ok good luck
[03:50] <poyntz> almoxarife: or mabye i just set it as thus by accident
[03:50] <poyntz> poyntz: either way, now if i 'test' sound i get the kubuntu sound
[03:50] <poyntz> however, still no sound for any applications
[03:50] <almoxarife> poyntz: pulse jacked the sound on ubuntu since the cows left the barn, good luck getting all alsa pure with it
[03:51] <poyntz> almoxarife: haha
[03:51] <M41nFr4m3> hi im on 10.04 and when i try to connec to my wifi i see the two green dots and the blue thing goin and the wep key keyring keeps showing up i was connected to my router just fine yesterday i am currently on the SAME router, on windows. which connects just fine
[03:51] <M41nFr4m3> http://paste.ubuntu.com/765585/
[03:52] <N1Nja_> If anyone would im making a channel for amd products support room #Advanced|Micro|Devices
[03:52] <poyntz> almoxarife: so how do i make it work for applications?
[03:52] <almoxarife> poyntz: I have both hdmi and analog sound being catered by pulse on my home entertainment system, it works just fine, the old days of pulse sucking or breaking are over
[03:52] <poyntz> pulseaudio
[03:52] <M41nFr4m3> pssh
[03:52] <poyntz> almoxarife: ah cool :)
[03:52] <M41nFr4m3> so much for a support channel
[03:53] <poyntz> how did you get applications to defaul to it. do i just log out and log back in?
[03:53] <almoxarife> poyntz: it would be there as your default sound if you indeed are running kubuntu virgin
[03:54] <iluminator105> what command in terminal brings up desktop sharing preferences
[03:55] <poyntz> almoxarife: at the moment it's not
[03:56] <poyntz> i'll try logging out and logging back in
[03:56] <garage> first time on irc. I'm running ubuntu 10.04. why does livecd not start when i put it in cdrom?
[03:57] <garage> it starts when in windows?
[03:57] <pfifo> garage, check you bios, you may need to change the boot order
[03:57]  * rhun Hi :)
[03:57] <garage> I have made boot order CDROM first, but it never does it.
[03:57] <pfifo> garage, the CD may be bad then
[03:58] <garage> abit bp6 (old)
[03:58] <webnet> garage, hmm how did you burn the cdrom?
[03:58] <garage> download iso, but as image to cdrom
[03:58] <garage> have burnt image twice.
[03:58] <webnet> garage,  what software did you burn with?
[03:59] <garage> I have done this for xubuntu, lubuntu, elive. Its gotta be bios issue
[03:59] <garage> webnet: imgburn
[03:59] <FerchoLP> how can I read the "battery health" value?
[03:59] <pfifo> garage, does your system use UEFI?
[03:59] <FerchoLP> or where
[04:00] <FerchoLP> using xfce, not kde
[04:00] <garage> sorry, not sure about uefi. don't know what it is.
[04:00] <pfifo> garage, well ask google and find out if your using it
[04:00] <webnet> garage, ok good. i was gonna say. the first thought i had was that you were burning and it wasnt an iso burner so it wasnt burning the disc as bootable
[04:00] <toasty95> what room is 12.10
[04:01] <ubuntu_n00b> hi, me again
[04:01] <Jordan_U> garage: Has any CD booted on this machine?
[04:01] <ubuntu_n00b> for some reason the edit command isn't working
[04:01] <szal> toasty95: #ubuntu+1
[04:01] <webnet> toasty95 i dont think there is one since the newest alpha release is only 12.04 precise
[04:01] <ubuntu_n00b> for instance, i need to change the default os that grub2 boots into
[04:01] <OerHeks> garage some bios needs boot-order on usb + hdd priority on usb
[04:02] <garage> Jordan_u: no
[04:02] <ubuntu_n00b> so i want to edit one of the cfg files
[04:02] <toasty95> thanks
[04:02] <webnet> toasty95, is there one?
[04:02] <garage> Jordan_U: was going to try microsoft, but didn't yet.
[04:02] <ubuntu_n00b> i'm using the command sudo edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[04:02] <ubuntu_n00b> but the terminal returns Warning: unknown mime-type for "/boot/grub/grub.cfg" -- using "application/octet-stream"
[04:02] <ubuntu_n00b> Error: no "edit" mailcap rules found for type "application/octet-stream"
[04:02] <ubuntu_n00b> matt@n1:~$
[04:02] <szal> toasty95: and it's 12.04, 12.10 doesn't exist yet
[04:03] <Arm0ur> ubuntu_n00b try "nano" instead of edit
[04:03] <garage> perhaps a bios upgrade?
[04:03] <ubuntu_n00b> what's the difference?
[04:03] <webnet> toasty95, yeah it is #ubuntu+1 but its only precise there is no 12.10 yet
[04:03] <toasty95> typo
[04:03] <ubuntu_n00b> this is the second time that i've tried the edit command today and it didn't work
[04:03] <webnet> ubuntu_n00b, or use vi [filename]
[04:03] <Arm0ur> ubuntu_n00b: There is no program called edit in GNU/Linux. Atleast none that I know of
[04:03] <webnet> i prefer vim-nox personally
[04:04] <Arm0ur> Yes. vim anyday !
[04:04] <webnet> ubuntu_n00b, thats because ubuntu doesnt have an edit command
[04:04] <webnet> ubuntu_n00b, you have to use an editor like vim or nano
[04:04] <OerHeks> gedit is installed standard.
[04:04] <ubuntu_n00b> i see. thanks. so the command would be sudo vi /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
[04:04] <webnet> Arm0ur, :D love vim
[04:04] <webnet> ubuntu_n00b, yes
[04:05] <ubuntu_n00b> is teh vim already installed?
[04:05] <webnet> to change things you have to press i to begin inserrt
[04:05] <Jordan_U> ubuntu_n00b: gksudo gedit /etc/default/grub
[04:05] <garage> OerHeks: I did not see usb as an option to boot from in bios.
[04:05] <robin0800> webnet: you are no supposed to edit that file
[04:05] <webnet> oh ubuntu_n00b it may not be
[04:05] <webnet> robin0800, ?
[04:05] <ubuntu_n00b> if i use the sudo apt-get install vim will it work?
[04:06] <OerHeks> garage, sorry, cd ofcourse
[04:06] <ubuntu_n00b> is that what the package is called?
[04:06] <webnet> ubuntu_n00b, its sudo apt-get install vim-nox
[04:06] <ubuntu_n00b> ty
[04:06] <webnet> np
[04:06] <ubuntu_n00b> hmmm
[04:06] <robin0800> webnet: the file to edit is etc/default/grub
[04:06] <ubuntu_n00b> that is a large editor
[04:06] <Arm0ur> ubuntu_n00b: Since you haven't used vi/vim before, it might not be suited for the quick editing that you want to do
[04:06] <ubuntu_n00b> 36mb?
[04:07] <almoxarife> webnet: grub changes done via editing /etc/default/grub.conf and then with an update via sudo update-grub
[04:07] <ubuntu_n00b> ok, i'll stick to gedit
[04:07] <garage> OerHeks: I have made boot order cdrom first, but it just goes right passed it into grub (existing ubuntu). It will try and read from floppy if i set 'A' as the first device to boot from.
[04:07] <webnet> robin0800, oh i didnt even know what he was editing i was just letting him know to use vi or nano instead of 'edit' since edit isnt a command in ubuntu
[04:08] <webnet> almoxarife, im not the one editing anything. i just told him to use an editor.
[04:08] <garage> OerHeks: I thought maybe there was something about the CD's, like they weren't meant to be booted from, just started while running windows because that is the only way they have started so far.
[04:08] <milamber> is anyone managing a large ubuntu installation? ie anyone using landscape or gotten spacewalk to play nice?
[04:09] <robin0800> webnet: if you edit the config file any update to grub system will wipe it out and the editor is gedit
[04:09] <w30> ubuntu_n00b, try nano; you probably have that editor
[04:09] <mrdeb>  huh
[04:09] <webnet> robin0800, almoxarife i was just telling him ti use an editor like vim-nox or nano  for ANY command line file editing. i have no clue what hes even editing.
[04:09] <szal> !anyone | milamber
[04:09] <mrdeb> ubuntu has nano and gedit
[04:09] <almoxarife> webnet: grub changes done via editing /etc/default/grub and then with an update via sudo update-grub <---clue
[04:10] <w30> ubuntu_n00b, nano uses the backspace key for delete like the real world does.
[04:10] <webnet> almoxarife, did you not get my last msg. i didnt even know he was editing grub?! i just got on and didnt see what they were talking about. i didnt tell him to use anything
[04:11] <webnet> other than a command line text editor
[04:12] <w30> ubuntu_n00b, vi and ed and vim are very fast editors after you spend two memorizing commands and shortcuts
[04:12] <w30> two years
[04:12] <webnet> almoxarife, robin0800 tell ubuntu_n00b what you told me instead so he doesnt screw his system up
[04:13] <milamber> is there any software available for managing large ubuntu installations?
[04:13] <webnet> almoxarife, robin0800 im not actually editing anything
[04:13] <webnet> w30 yeah it took me about 6 months to figure out my way around it at first :D
[04:13] <almoxarife> ubuntu_n00b: don't edit grub anywhere but in /etc/default/grub
[04:15] <Snowie> howdy all. Been getting into using ubuntu 11.10 as a home DAW. i see that there is a studio version of ubuntu. if i have the default installed, is there a simple method of installing/replacing packages for the studio version for better real time and memory locks etc? or am i replacing a kernel?
[04:15] <Snowie> cheers
[04:15] <almoxarife> webnet: you were right, I was wrong, sorry
[04:16] <ubuntu_n00b> almoxarife: thanks, i figured that out
[04:16] <ubuntu_n00b> but the file is set as read only
[04:16] <ubuntu_n00b> and i can't change the permissions?
[04:16] <webnet> almoxarife, huh? sorry i was pm ing what happened?
[04:16] <ubuntu_n00b> oh wait
[04:16] <mrdeb> yes u can
[04:16] <ubuntu_n00b> i gotta us sudo probably ;)
[04:16] <Snowie> ubuntu_n00b: sudo chmod +w 'filename'
[04:17] <mrdeb> yes
[04:17] <fizyplankton> why are my SSH connections dying with more than a few hundred bytes of data if im on anything other than lan? if i know a command im doing has more than a hundred or so chars of output, i have to pipe it into a python program i wrote to output one line every 1/4 seconds, or make the display size so small that only ~~100 characters will display. otherwise, the connections just dies. the exception is if im on lan, or if it
[04:17] <brucepaycheck> is there very many lubuntu users in here??
[04:17] <almoxarife> ubuntu_n00b: why are you changing grub? btw, it is read only unless you have admin permission, and I am not sure you are ready for that
[04:17] <Snowie> brucepaycheck: I have used it before
[04:17] <sam22> hail people of this channel !!
[04:17] <sam22> o/
[04:18] <Snowie> ubuntu_n00b: oh, sorry, scratch that, i will stay away from help with GRUB
[04:18] <brucepaycheck> i was just wondering if there were very many people who use lubuntu that frequent the ubuntu chans and whatnot
[04:18] <almoxarife> Snowie: great, now he's got way too much info
[04:18] <ubuntu_n00b> oh shhhh
[04:18] <ubuntu_n00b> i've messed around with grub before
[04:19] <Snowie> brucepaycheck: i used it as a media server on an ancient laptop for a while (as in still had old floppy drives and IR ports) and it worked great. wouldnt use it as everyday desktop unless forced though
[04:19] <ubuntu_n00b> it's default loading to memtest
[04:19] <Snowie> brucepaycheck: which gui do you have
[04:19] <ubuntu_n00b> i'm running dual boot XP and ubuntu
[04:19] <webnet> ubuntu_n00b, vim lets you write in sudo mode. you add a !w command and it overwrites
[04:19] <ubuntu_n00b> i wasn't using sudo, and that was the problem.
[04:20] <ubuntu_n00b> the file is read only for anyone but the main admin, or something
[04:20] <webnet> ubuntu_n00b, oh gotcha
[04:20] <almoxarife> ubuntu_n00b: do you know why it defaults to memtest?
[04:20] <ubuntu_n00b> well, it started doing that after i upgraded
[04:20] <Snowie> so anyone help me with my ubuntu studio question, kernel rebuild or just different packages?
[04:20] <ubuntu_n00b> it added another boot option, 'previous linux versions;
[04:20] <brucepaycheck> Snowie lxde, it's the 10.10 version.  Just bought one of those 2007ish Everex computers and installed this to it to play around with while i up'd some of the hardware..  thinking about staying with it, i kinda like it..
[04:20] <brucepaycheck> have used it in a while.. didn't realize it had become this nice
[04:20] <FerchoLP> why why, why would someone who is using ubuntu would prefer vi instead of, say, nano
[04:21] <ubuntu_n00b> so then it bumped the memtest to pos 4
[04:21] <FerchoLP> :P
[04:21] <ubuntu_n00b> where XP was previously
[04:21] <ubuntu_n00b> all better now
[04:21] <webnet> brucepaycheck, everex? i worked on an everex machine the other day and i was like everex? are they any good/
[04:21] <Snowie> brucepaycheck: i was impressed by lx desktop. im a unity whore now though. really feel like it fits the way i like to work better than any other
[04:22] <fizyplankton> why are my SSH connections dying with more than a few hundred bytes of data if im on anything other than lan? if i know a command im doing has more than a hundred or so chars of output, i have to pipe it into a python program i wrote to output one line every 1/4 seconds, or make the display size so small that only ~~100 characters will display. otherwise, the connections just dies. the exception is if im on lan, or if it
[04:22] <webnet> Snowie, im glad you like it :D thats what i love about linux vs windows/mac SO MANY CHOISES! :D im a gnome man only
[04:23] <brucepaycheck> webnet, it's very minimal, actually had pcLInuxOS oem on it, from factory, no joke..  i've up'd ram and might throw a spare video card in it, but not bad for 20$
[04:23] <webnet> brucepaycheck, $20 from factory? where. id love to get another machine that cheap for my custom test builds
[04:23] <sam22> webnet i like gnome 2.3x
[04:23] <sam22> i hate the unity
[04:24] <brucepaycheck> Snowie, I've yet to give any of the newer gui's an honest shot.  they look real pretty though
[04:24] <Snowie> webnet: yeah, gnome was good. my friends are weirded out by the fact that i have become a 'freetard'. i have a mate who goes through hours of pain to steal cubase every time a new version comes out, and then tells me that i waste too much time configuring free software. he had to learn just as much as i did, just mine is legit
[04:24] <fizyplankton> i hardly ever use any display manager. i stick in one terminal with almighty screen running
[04:24] <brucepaycheck> webnet, nope i scored this on craigslist..  they originally wanted like 75$
[04:24]  * almoxarife has a hybrid , a gno-ku, part gnome-shell part kde, works swell
[04:25] <webnet> sam22, i cant STAND unity. i hate it hate it hate it, and somehow gnome 3's devs managed to mess up a bunch of stuff. i like gnome 2.X
[04:25] <Snowie> brucepaycheck: i run unity in 2d mode, all the usage features, none of the resource hog. works a treat, would recommend it. but work of advice, learn all the shortcuts. im a kb man, so that's great for me
[04:25] <brucepaycheck> webnet, i had only heard of this model running enlightenment OS from factory, was a strange surprise to boot it up and see an older pcLInuxOS..
[04:26] <szal> sam22, webnet: well, Gnome 2 is dead, deal with it or stick w/ 10.04 until it gets dropped
[04:26] <Snowie> brucepaycheck: system key, then type first few letters of application name, hit enter, bam!
[04:26] <fizyplankton> 10.04 FTW!!!
[04:26] <webnet> brucepaycheck, no kidding. wow. lol
[04:26] <pfifo> 8.04 > 10.04
[04:26] <brucepaycheck> Snowie, I think I might try that sometime, I had tried out the Unity operating system on a few machines a year or so ago, hadn't realized 2d was an option, i'll be messing with that a bit, i think
[04:26] <usr13> webnet: What about xfce?
[04:27] <sidney_> how do i uncomment these http://paste.ubuntu.com/765597/
[04:27] <fizyplankton> does natty use gnome 3? if so, you can get me off of 2 when you can pry it from my cold dead hands
[04:28] <usr13> sidney_: Why?  What do you need?
[04:28] <pfifo> sidney_, delet the # and space at the beginning of the lines
[04:28] <sidney_> usr13, system 10.04 will not update
[04:29] <ubuntu_n00b> my download speeds are really slow (1MBit). how can i test to see whether the problem lies in the wireless connection or something else?
[04:29] <usr13> sidney_: Are you sure you need backports?
[04:29] <webnet> szal, yeah im on 10.10 with gnome 2.32 and i love it. i actually cant go past 10.10 on my laptop
[04:29] <usr13> sidney_: The bottom two, yes, but not the top two, backports
[04:29] <sidney_> usr13, I have no idea
[04:29] <n0sq> usr13: looks like it was a video card issue - i'll have to research this some more tomorrow to see how i can set the video card to vesa - for now, i'm up and running with mandriva 2010.2 with the vesa driver
[04:29] <usr13> sidney_: I don't think that's why it won't  update.  Where is the rest of the file?
[04:30] <webnet> usr13 i like xfce as well. gtk themes enables so easily themeable and i almost feel like its the best of gnome kde and fluxbox smashed into one
[04:30] <sam22> webnet how did you install gnome 2 on 11.10 ?
[04:30] <szal> webnet: you better go looking for something that works w/ that thing, 10.10 will be dead in 4 months and a bit
[04:30] <fizyplankton> lucid still has a few years left on it
[04:30] <usr13> webnet: Yes, I believe xfce is every bit as good as gnome2, maybe better.
[04:30] <webnet> szal i know, its the kernel thats the problem. i cant use a kernel past 2.6.35
[04:31] <szal> fizyplankton: 'a few years' is an overstatement..  April 2013 on the desktop, 2 more years on the server (and who uses a GUI on a server ;))
[04:31] <sidney_> usr13, give me the command again and I will get the list
[04:31] <webnet> usr13, agreed. :D i prefer the gnome menu tho thats where i get stuck
[04:31] <webnet> :D
[04:31] <Snowie> have to learn to google. fyi, how to get the ubuntu studio goodness https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Upgrade%20from%20Ubuntu
[04:31] <usr13> sidney_: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:32] <webnet> usr13, i cant lose my apps | places | System layout
[04:32] <fizyplankton> szal: i use the GUI on my desktop edition once, maybe twice a month. all i need is my one all powerfull screen session
[04:32] <webnet> :D
[04:32] <usr13> sidney_: And sent resulting URL
[04:32] <webnet> sam22, ? im on 10.10
[04:32] <usr13> webnet: /join #xfce
[04:33] <usr13> webnet: You can get xfce to do all the cool stuff gnome2 did
[04:33] <fizyplankton> why are my SSH connections dying with more than a few hundred bytes of data if im on anything other than lan? if i know a command im doing has more than a hundred or so chars of output, i have to pipe it into a python program i wrote to output one line every 1/4 seconds, or make the display size so small that only ~~100 characters will display. otherwise, the connections just dies. the exception is if im on lan, or if it
[04:34] <pfifo> fizyplankton, how are you running ssh?
[04:34] <fizyplankton> pfifo: what do you mean? like what client am i using remotley?
[04:34] <webnet> sam22, its not quite hard on 11.10 its just risky.
[04:35] <pfifo> fizyplankton, whats the command your running?
[04:35] <sam22> webnet i won't use 11.10 because i hate the new interface
[04:35] <szal> fizyplankton: and 255 characters display per line in IRC..  if you have more text, either keep that in mind or use a client that auto-wraps lines
[04:35] <sam22> if you install classic you add more trash to your ubuntu
[04:35] <webnet> sam22, you want to do it on a fresh install with no custom apps installed for least risk
[04:35] <webnet> oh 11.10 i mean
[04:35] <sam22> i did a server installation of ubuntu 11.04
[04:35] <sam22> now it takes 76MB when i start it
[04:35] <sam22> 0 swap file
[04:36] <webnet> sam22, server is ok, cause it dont have an interface to be all skrewy :D
[04:36] <sidney_> usr13, it's not giving me the list now bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied
[04:36] <ubuntu_n00b> my download speeds are really slow (1MBit). how can i test to see whether the problem lies in the wireless connection or something else?
[04:36] <sam22> yeah and it takes alot of work and time to build
[04:36] <sam22> torture
[04:36] <usr13> sidney_: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list  #Send resulting URL
[04:37] <ubuntu_n00b> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1707441
[04:37] <usr13> sidney_: sudo apt-get update
[04:38] <fizyplankton> pfifo: i hardly ever use a command for a client. i either use padersync on my droid (which has the aforementioned problems on mobile data and wifi that isnt mine, but it works perfectly on my wifi) or PuTTY (which has the same problems unless its on my network) and i used to "ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-p `non standard port i use`" untill my laptop broke
[04:38] <urlin2u> ubuntu_n00b, you have done a speed test?
[04:38] <webnet> sam22, you can remove gnome 3 and put 2 on without too much trouble. i did it on a vm to see if i could
[04:39] <sidney_> usr13, http://pastebin.com/cYeCQuMU
[04:39] <ubuntu_n00b> urlin2u: yes, it's 1MB on ubuntu vs. 11MB on XP
[04:40] <sam22> webnet it's possible if you have the time
[04:40] <usr13> sidney_: sudo apt-get update
[04:40] <sam22> it took me 2 days of work to get ubuntu server to work
[04:40] <threezero> is a 8gb partition for 11.10 too small?
[04:40] <usr13> Tell us what that does:    sudo apt-get update
[04:41] <sidney_> usr13, http://paste.ubuntu.com/765604/
[04:41] <pfifo> fizyplankton, does the problem happen when you connect with ssh from openssh package.
[04:41] <sam22> what is a good light weight browser with good support?
[04:41] <mrdeb> firefox
[04:41] <sam22> light
[04:41] <sam22> less than 20MB in size
[04:41] <mrdeb> it is only good one
[04:41] <threezero> so is 8gb partition too small?
[04:41] <mrdeb> no
[04:41] <urlin2u> threezero, not for the basic system....unpacks to just less than 3 gigs.
[04:41] <threezero> thinking aboiut dual booting with mc
[04:41] <usr13> sidney_: sudo apt-get upgrade
[04:41] <threezero> mac
[04:42] <webnet> sam22, aye thats the rub :D
[04:42] <webnet> time
[04:42] <usr13> threezero: Too small for what?
[04:42] <fizyplankton> pfifo: i believe that the ssh server is openssh, but no matter what client i use, what platform i connect from, what command i do or dont use, if i am not connected to my local area network, i get those issues
[04:42] <threezero> still thinking if i should vm ubuntu and dual boot windows
[04:42] <threezero> for all the stuff i would put into it
[04:43] <threezero> cuz i'm not sure if you can access the mac side if dual booting
[04:43] <sam22> you will lose alot of perfromance on VM
[04:43] <sidney_> usr13, http://paste.ubuntu.com/765605/
[04:43] <threezero> well its going perform better than windows?
[04:43] <threezero> windows xp i have on vm
[04:43] <threezero> is like watching snail race
[04:43] <threezero> but i have to use it once in a while
[04:43] <pfifo> fizyplankton, is it only happening with one server or any server you try to connect to (assuming you have another remote machine you can connect to)
[04:43] <threezero> and i have limited space on my mac
[04:44] <usr13> sidney_:  apt-get --fix-missing update
[04:44] <sam22> if windows XP runs slow on VM then ubuntu will be the sme
[04:44] <sam22> same
[04:44] <usr13> sidney_:  sudo apt-get --fix-missing update
[04:44] <threezero> damn
[04:44] <threezero> seriously
[04:44] <threezero> i though ubuntu will be light
[04:44] <threezero> =\
[04:44] <FloodBot1> threezero: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:44] <sam22> yeah XP is the lightest microsoft OS
[04:44] <sam22> they use it on netbook
[04:44] <sam22> because it's light and fast
[04:45] <sam22> windows XP takes about 120MB at start up
[04:45] <sidney_> usr13, E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
[04:45] <sidney_> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[04:45] <threezero> how about ubuntu?
[04:45] <sam22> while vista or 7 they take at least 1GB
[04:45] <usr13> sidney_:  sudo apt-get --fix-missing update
[04:45] <usr13> sidney_: sudo
[04:45] <sam22> threezero mine right now 76MB at start up
[04:45] <sam22> but i customized it from the beginning
[04:45] <fizyplankton> pfifo: my machine and my broken laptop are the only machines in my house running linux, so i wouldnt know. however, i have run game servers on simmilar ports handeling much larger quantities of data, without any issues. so i dont thing its a networking issue
[04:46] <threezero> how about stock?
[04:46] <sam22> less than 150MB
[04:46] <sam22> depend on what is installed
[04:46] <threezero> damn.. maybe i should just buy a new macbook and triple boot that shit with 750gb
[04:46] <sam22> XP by the way use swap files also but ubuntu will take 0 swap file at start up
[04:46] <threezero> i have 180gb right now on my its so embrassing......
[04:46] <sam22> haha
[04:47] <sam22> alot of space
[04:47] <pfifo> fizyplankton, do you have access to a machine with openssh's client on it?
[04:47] <fizyplankton> threezero: my laptop has a 30 GIG harddrive thirty gigabytes
[04:47] <threezero> !!!!!!!
[04:47] <threezero> thanks flzyplanton: i feel so much better
[04:47] <threezero> lol
[04:48] <fizyplankton> threezero: and it has one twenty eight MEGS of ram
[04:48] <sidney_> usr13, same results
[04:48] <Tech-1> ?
[04:48] <threezero> are you running just linux on it?? how do you live with 30 gig? just my music library took up 24gig
[04:48] <pfifo> i have 2 1gb flashdrives, and thats it :)
[04:48] <Tech-1> 28 megs ?, how does it boot, lol
[04:48] <fizyplankton> pfifo: i can, but it will only be able to connect to wlan
[04:48] <StepNjump2> Did anyone find a way to backup  the compiz settings
[04:48] <AK_> FREE BSD FOREVER... Nah, just kidding
[04:48] <pfifo> fizyplankton, why cant you connect to a remote server?
[04:49] <Tech-1> StepNjump:  in compiz settings there is a check box to do that, cant remember where, but its there
[04:49] <threezero> if i boot into ubuntu with 8gb usb key will that be faster?
[04:49] <Tech-1> the moor eram, the better
[04:49] <Tech-1> ram
[04:49] <fizyplankton> pfifo: i dont know any remote ssh servers. and the clients arent the issue. i have tried 5 different clients on 3 different platforms one 5 or so different networks. the only correllation is lan / no lan
[04:50] <aeon-ltd> not always
[04:50] <aeon-ltd> there will be a point where more ram would be useless (4gb for most people)
[04:51] <aeon-ltd> unused ram is wasted ram (other than 100mb spare to give room and time to write to disk)
[04:51] <pfifo> fizyplankton, wait? your saying first you have an ssh server, and now your saying you dont... which one is it?
[04:51] <ubuntu_n00b> how can i make sure that ubuntu isn't choking my comp with it's power mangagement
[04:52] <ubuntu_n00b> considering the issues i've had with the clock and my oddly slow download speeds
[04:52] <ubuntu_n00b> i'm thinking it's a powermanagement issue
[04:52] <fizyplankton> pfifo: the only server i know of is right in front of me at <IP_ADDRESS> on port 25560.
[04:52] <nofilicity> how could i install an earlier version of an apt package?
[04:52] <nofilicity> I have /usr/lib/libMagickWand.so.5 but I need /usr/liblibMagickWand.so.4
[04:54] <pfifo> fizyplankton, ok heres what i need you todo with whatever you have available. I need you to connect to a openssh-server using the openssh-client, send enough data to cause a disconnection and then tell me what the return value was of the openssh-client
[04:54] <StepNjump3> how can I activate eth0 from TTY?
[04:56] <fizyplankton> pfifo: check your private messages
[04:57] <excelsior> Question: is there a program for Ubuntu like WinAmp is for Windows?
[04:57] <Tech-1> zmms2
[04:57] <Tech-1> xmms2
[04:57] <share> excelsior: audacious
[04:57] <Tech-1> ya, audacious would be better
[04:58] <MahaVishnu> StepNjump, sudo ifup eth0
[04:58] <Tech-1> make sure you also install audacious xtra plugins
[04:58] <excelsior> I need to amp up my speakers, and the built in amp only goes to 150%, So audacious does that?
[04:58] <BernSamson> whats the difference between Banshee and Audacious?
[04:58] <Tech-1> vlc would do that
[04:59] <MahaVishnu> excelsior, the more you amp it the worse its gonna sound.
[04:59] <skilz> wtf this s bullsh*t
[04:59] <excelsior> Well I just want to be able to watch a movie without earbuds from across the room.
[05:00] <skilz> I done a apt-get upgrade yesterday and now my system runs like dogs ballz, 52% cpu constantly
[05:00] <webnet> !language |skilz
[05:00] <Tech-1> excelsior:  get better amped spkrs
[05:00] <Tech-1> logitech ftw
[05:00] <excelsior> impossible, I have a Dell Laptop
[05:00] <skilz> How can I revert/undo the upgrade?
[05:00] <webnet> excelsior, why does that make it impossible
[05:00] <webnet> ???
[05:00] <skilz> Please don't tell me I have to do each package manually...
[05:01] <Tech-1> and you are using those tiny spkrs to amp up ?, lol, dont do that
[05:01] <skilz> Canonical may have a legal case on it's hands.
[05:01] <almostroot> Hahahahahaha!
[05:01] <Tech-1> hopefully not
[05:01] <Tech-1> they are the good guys
[05:01] <MahaVishnu> skilz, not a chance since you agreed to no warranty or merchantability of fitness when you d/led it. / installed it.
[05:01] <mrdeb> skilz: why
[05:01] <almostroot> skilz: Every read the license?
[05:01] <almostroot> Ever*
[05:02] <excelsior> look, here's the thing, I just want to watch a movie from across the room, and be able to hear the low dynamic sound.
[05:02] <Tech-1> exactly MahaVishnu
[05:02] <skilz> Let's see how well it holds up.
[05:02] <MahaVishnu> pretty good. since they have lawyers probably and your some derp
[05:02] <webnet> skilz, dont do that youll lose and waste a bunch on money
[05:02] <excelsior> lol
[05:02] <Tech-1> lol
[05:02] <skilz> It has put some bad code to affect the performance o our computers.
[05:02] <Tech-1> get a real comp
[05:02] <webnet> skilz, i doubt it has bad code
[05:03] <MahaVishnu> anyone got a real support question lol.
[05:03] <skilz> Why is it only after the upgrade?
[05:03] <skilz> How can I revert?
[05:03] <webnet> new stuff is installed
[05:03] <webnet> you cant really.
[05:03] <MahaVishnu> you can't revert. you gotta do a new install of 10.04 if thats what you wanna do.
[05:03] <Tech-1> virtually every customer ive put ubuntu on, have been flawless, hands up to ubuntu.
[05:03] <skilz> some new version of some software has bugs
[05:03] <MahaVishnu> skilz, but why would you continue to use a product from a company your planning to sue ?
[05:03] <webnet> Tech-1, amen
[05:03] <excelsior> Tech-1: you install lts?
[05:04] <Tech-1> yep
[05:04] <Tech-1> all the time
[05:04] <skilz> my cpu is idling at 40% wtf?
[05:04] <mrdeb> yes
[05:04] <webnet> find out what process is doing iot
[05:04] <webnet> skilz, ^^^
[05:04] <excelsior> I use the rolling releases, and they're buggy. I'm wondering if I should go back to LTS.
[05:04] <mrdeb> that is normal for ubuntu
[05:04] <skilz> this is unacceptable, goes to 100% if I load firefox
[05:04] <excelsior> or lubuntu
[05:04] <Tech-1> youhave something running, check TOP
[05:04] <Tech-1> ntop
[05:04] <skilz> Doesn't look like just 1 process in particular
[05:05] <webnet> skilz, ffx is resource heavy anyways because of all the virus engines and the addons
[05:05] <webnet> use opera if you are looking for lighter good browser
[05:05] <Tech-1> ^
[05:05] <excelsior> chromium is light and good, as far as I can tell
[05:05] <aeon-ltd> wut
[05:05] <Tech-1> that 2
[05:05] <skilz> xchat and xorg both usng around 30% cpu each why???
[05:06] <webnet> what are the main ones using huge cpu besides fffx
[05:06] <MahaVishnu> low end hardware ?
[05:06] <Tech-1> its prolly in your compiz or graphics setup
[05:06] <skilz> Firefox was fine before this upgrade
[05:06] <webnet> wel xorg is gnome's server
[05:06] <mrdeb> r u on unity
[05:06] <skilz> G40 Thinkpad
[05:06] <aeon-ltd> skilz: what cpu?
[05:06] <mrdeb> is that it
[05:06] <skilz> P4 cpu
[05:06] <mrdeb> p4 is slow
[05:06] <MahaVishnu> skilz, p4 is slow...
[05:06] <BernSamson> I use Chromium
[05:06] <aeon-ltd> nope
[05:06] <skilz> fluxbox
[05:06] <Tech-1> lol, p4
[05:06] <Tech-1> dino
[05:06] <BernSamson> how do you uninstall things?
[05:06] <aeon-ltd> p4 not slow
[05:06] <webnet> skilz xchat is this which uses constant network access
[05:06] <mrdeb> atom is faster than p4
[05:06] <aeon-ltd> skilz: clock speed?
[05:07] <MahaVishnu> p4 is pretty slow compared to anything from this era.
[05:07] <webnet> BernSamson, apt-get remove [package]
[05:07] <Tech-1> mt asus eee atom kicks but w/ubuntu
[05:07] <skilz> 2.39ghz
[05:07] <skilz> dude
[05:07] <skilz> My system was 14% cpu idle
[05:07] <BernSamson> so 'sudo apt-get remove firefox'?
[05:07] <Tech-1> how much ram U got
[05:07] <skilz> now it's 49%
[05:07] <MahaVishnu> 2.39ghz is not even a high end p4.
[05:07] <mrdeb> atom is good for ubuntu
[05:07] <skilz> NO
[05:07] <aeon-ltd> skilz: ok fluctuations are normal
[05:07] <skilz> t's not firefox
[05:07] <skilz> man
[05:07] <Tech-1> pkill firefox
[05:07] <aeon-ltd> skilz: what is eating it up right now?
[05:08] <skilz> FU%$*@ firefox
[05:08] <skilz> it's nothng to do with t
[05:08] <Tech-1> skilz:  terminal = ntop
[05:08] <skilz> it's some system process
[05:08] <webnet> skilz. i have 10.10 and my cpus are running at 6% and 4%
[05:08] <MahaVishnu> skilz, can you stop using the enter button for punctuation ?
[05:08] <skilz> Okay
[05:08] <skilz> listen guys!!!
[05:08] <skilz> Please
[05:08] <FloodBot1> skilz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:08] <Tech-1> lol
[05:08] <skilz> I startx, then load firefox
[05:08] <webnet> skilz. pm me
[05:08] <skilz> sorry
[05:08] <skilz> I srartx then load fluxbox
[05:08] <skilz> then conky
[05:08] <Josh_> hey people
[05:08] <ubuntu_n00b> hey again, how do i get to system?
[05:08] <Josh_> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVQG1MswY-k
[05:09] <ubuntu_n00b> In Ubuntu 10.10, this is found under System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers.
[05:09] <Tech-1> stop panicking
[05:09] <MahaVishnu> 11.10 here with firefox, xachat, transmission, terminator + whatever system crap on... 4% cpu use.
[05:09] <Josh_> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hU6iZyEVX8
[05:09] <Tech-1> same here
[05:09] <MahaVishnu> but im not on a p4 heh.
[05:09] <share> Josh_: don't spam
[05:09] <aeon-ltd> skilz: depending on your conky set up and refresh/reload rates you've set conky will probably take 1-5% of cpu at almost all times
[05:09] <Tech-1> atom ?
[05:09] <bullgard4> »~$ ps faux | grep gvfsd-cdda; /usr/lib/gvfs-cdda --spawner :1.1 /org/gtk/gvfs/exec_spaw/3«. What does "spawner" here mean?
[05:09] <ubuntu_n00b> hey again, how do i get to system? In Ubuntu 10.10, this is found under System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers.
[05:09] <skilz> I startx then load fluxbox
[05:09] <skilz> then load conky
[05:09] <MahaVishnu> Tech-1, i3 550 oc from 3.2 to 4.2ghz. nothing special just my baby.
[05:10] <ubuntu_n00b> how do i get to that 'system'
[05:10] <aeon-ltd> skilz: yes we heard.
[05:10] <Tech-1> cool
[05:10] <skilz> nothing else is running and already 40% cpu
[05:10] <share> ubuntu_n00b: use the panel?
[05:10] <aeon-ltd> skilz: wait a few seconds
[05:10] <skilz> 2 days ago, same scenario, but 14% cpu
[05:10] <Tech-1> skilz:  terminal = ntop..that will show whats running
[05:10] <ubuntu_n00b> i'm running 11.10
[05:10] <share> ubuntu_n00b: oh.
[05:10] <aeon-ltd> HEY!
[05:10] <excelsior> oh, while I'm here, the only thing I've found that fixes my wifi without having to reboot my laptop is sudo modprobe -r iwlagn, and then sudo modprobe iwlagn, where iwlagn is the name of the driver.
[05:10] <aeon-ltd> its 'htop'
[05:10] <bullgard4> ubuntu_n00b: Please add your operating system version and desktop environment to your question.
[05:11] <MahaVishnu> skilz, in htop your processor is always @ 40% idle ?
[05:11] <almostroot> Josh_: Are... are they fighting with spinning tops?
[05:11] <aeon-ltd> not ntop, ntop will show network processes
[05:11] <Tech-1> ya, sry htop
[05:11] <ubuntu_n00b> i'm using ubuntu 11.10 and i think the desktop is unity but i could be wrong
[05:11] <skilz> It's 87% now
[05:11] <MahaVishnu> skilz, there is nothing we can do about your cpu use honestly.
[05:11] <Tech-1> did you htop yet ?
[05:12] <aeon-ltd> MahaVishnu: bull.
[05:12] <aeon-ltd> yeah we can
[05:12] <excelsior> I had a friend who used to run the latest bleeding edge Ubuntu, but he also carried around a couple of laptop harddrives...
[05:12] <MahaVishnu> aeon-ltd, like what?
[05:12] <sidney> should I be able to visit this address and see the file http://hacktolive.org/repo/archive/pool/main/w/winetricks/winetricks_0.
[05:12] <skilz> But it's not my cpu, it's ubuntu
[05:12] <aeon-ltd> MahaVishnu: simple, reduce the amount needed to process
[05:12] <excelsior> and a screwdriver kit...
[05:12] <Canadian1296> Can anyone give me a little assistance on a Ubuntu LiveCD I'm making?
[05:12] <polardude1983> Hello, I am having trouble with a folder that has spaces in it in a shell script. I did the \ but it doesn't work. here is my shell script that im using http://paste.ubuntu.com/765616/ it just says no polly directory and doesn't find polly dogg dir
[05:12] <MahaVishnu> aeon-ltd, huh?
[05:12] <kion> Canadian1296: yes
[05:12] <pfifo> sidney, no its a shell script, you need to download it to view it
[05:13] <flysnowchiu> hi guys!  any ways to control the mem in conky when I use "lua"?
[05:13] <kion> Canadian1296: first download the .iso image
[05:13] <MahaVishnu> polardude1983, put  " around the file path " I think...
[05:13] <aeon-ltd> MahaVishnu: there will be a limit to what skilz's pc can do but really single core 2.4ghz can run most things easily - i'd say the only thing that would cripple it would be moderate flash use
[05:13] <kion> Canadian1296: after that i am pretty shure that rightclick will give you the option burn to disk
[05:14] <sidney> pfifo if i reinstall 10.04 you think it will update
[05:14] <MahaVishnu> aeon-ltd, uhm single core p4 can barely transcode 720p on the fly.
[05:14] <aeon-ltd> yeah it can
[05:14] <pfifo> sidney, im sorry i have no idea what you mean
[05:14] <sidney> system nolonger updates
[05:14] <polardude1983> mahavishnu, I tried putting " " around the whole "/home/user/polly doggy" but didnt' work. just said no polly dir found
[05:15] <MahaVishnu> not to stream it, it can do a file like eventually. trust me I had a p4 for many years a good one with h/t they are not that fast compared to anything. but this is all offtopic so who cares.
[05:15] <aeon-ltd> 1080 it would struggle, maybe get around 10-12 fps, but 720 with a preloaded buffer would be fine
[05:15] <pfifo> sidney, do a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade'
[05:15] <MahaVishnu> aeon-ltd, nah tried it on ps3 media server to do 720p and it barely would stream it right ever.
[05:15] <sidney> pfifo,  dosent work
[05:16] <aeon-ltd> MahaVishnu: that's more likely a combo of processing and network bandwidth
[05:16] <pfifo> sidney, can you pastebin the output of those commands
[05:16] <MahaVishnu> aeon-ltd, nah dude. gigabit ethernet even 100mb ethernet has way more bandwith than 720p requires dude...
[05:16] <bullgard4> !unity | ubuntu_n00b
[05:17] <MahaVishnu> aeon-ltd, it was all processor, how do I know? cause now on the same network with an i3 I can stream 1080p no problem to the same xbox. ( yea ps3 media server works for xbox's )
[05:17] <polardude1983> mahavishnu, I have tried " ", and \ but none work for the shell script to recognize that the folder has space.
[05:17] <MahaVishnu> polardude1983, I think take the \ out and just use "
[05:18] <aeon-ltd> heh, point taken.
[05:18] <MahaVishnu> aeon-ltd, honestly. I banged my head against the wall forever with that p4 I wouldnt lie about it.
[05:18] <polardude1983> mahavishnu, no still says no Polly directory instead of polly doggy
[05:18] <Canadian1296> kion: I'm talking about doing some customizations on casper before building the iso on a custom (minimal, no gui) lived I've been working on
[05:19] <ubuntu_n00b> i'm trying to install proprietary drivers for my onboard graphics card
[05:19] <aeon-ltd> i still stand by thay P4 = still fast and good for today's applications, just needs a lil compromising
[05:19] <ubuntu_n00b> it's a radeon xpress
[05:19] <kion> Canadian: oops.. sorry for that.. .cant help :(
[05:19] <MahaVishnu> aeon-ltd, also p4 is 32 bit....
[05:19] <GhostWolf> hi all, have an issue, webnet has been trying to help me but he suggested i ask on the main, i woke up earlier today and seemed my mouse and kb stopped working, cause i couldn't get my power saver back to my normal screen, manually turned off the pc, turned it back on, it took a long time for ubuntu to load, so i rebooted agian manually, and this time selected the ubuntu recovery console, it seems im having a problem loadin
[05:19] <GhostWolf> g ubuntu, i have an image of what it says after the last part of the recovery mode
[05:19] <sidney> pfifo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/765617/     http://paste.ubuntu.com/765619/
[05:19] <Canadian1296> kion: Okay, thanks anyways  :)
[05:19] <aeon-ltd> MahaVishnu: nope some were 64bit capable
[05:20] <MahaVishnu> aeon-ltd, ah didnt know.
[05:20] <Canadian1296> Can anyone help with some casper customizations on a Ubuntu LiveCD I'm making?
[05:20] <aeon-ltd> heh at the time though no one even had close to 4gb 64bit would have been useless for home use
[05:20] <webnet> Canadian1296, i pmd you. talk to me there. too much clutter and other stuff out here
[05:21] <pfifo> sidney, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and remove any refrences to 'http://hacktolive.org' then retry the above commands
[05:21] <GhostWolf> btw here is the link for the pic that has some info at the end of the recovery mode, http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/844/20111209210336.jpg/
[05:22] <Butters> Hey I was wondering if someone could talk to me about the possibility of starting a project for building a new linux distro that acts purely as a virtual machine host.
[05:22] <MahaVishnu> polardude1983, you tried this ? for file in "/home/christoph/Videos/test/polly\ doggy*.*"
[05:23] <Canadian1296> webnet: okay, thanks
[05:23] <EvilResistance> is there a way in console to search through the contents of files for a specific word or phrase recursively?
[05:23] <EvilResistance> (i.e. in all directories within a given path)
[05:24] <aeon-ltd> Butters: #ubuntu-offtopic ; but why? wouldn't that just really be server + a few applications?
[05:24] <polardude1983> mahavishnu, yes and still doesn't recognize it
[05:24] <w30> EvilResistance, grep does that; see man grep
[05:24] <sidney> pfifo, do i do this in terminal if so I get command not found
[05:24] <crazytrane> spaces in filenames=the devil
[05:25] <Butters> aeon-ltd: yes it would.
[05:25] <crazytrane> polardude1983, looks like you escaped the space right, though
[05:25] <pfifo> sidney, try `sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list` remove the lines with that URL
[05:25] <EvilResistance> w30:  any way to tell if it fails?
[05:26] <aeon-ltd> Butters: then why? it would just be shorter to just write a guide and a script that would pull in those packages.
[05:26] <polardude1983> crazytrane, but for some reason it doesn't register it like normally
[05:26] <GhostWolf> also if anyone can help me with my issue, you can pm me if it be easier.
[05:26] <mrdeb> what issue
[05:26] <Butters> aeon-ltd: because some programs for different OS' can not be pulled in so easily.
[05:26] <skilz> How can I disable graphical boot and logn
[05:26] <skilz> I want verbose bootup
[05:27] <GhostWolf> mrdeb, i just posted it few minutes ago, its long so i don't feel like reposting, you can scroll up to see it
[05:28] <mrdeb> ok ghost idk, that is not specific
[05:28] <crazytrane> polardude1983,can you do it straight from a shell? ie. (for file in polly\ doggy\*.*; do echo $file;done)
[05:28] <skilz> Is I try to remove plymoth, it wants to remove all of gnome
[05:28] <skilz> 500mb
[05:28] <w30> EvilResistance, test your command-flag combinations on something you know the answer to.
[05:28] <crazytrane> just to see if that works
[05:28] <aeon-ltd> skilz: get rid of 'quiet' as the boot option at grub
[05:28] <skilz> aeon-ltd, wheres that?>
[05:28] <skilz> what file?
[05:28] <GhostWolf> mrdeb, what is not specific, i posted my issue again im not reposting it cause its a long post..
[05:28] <aeon-ltd> skilz: can't remember if you need to change 'splash' to 'nosplash'
[05:29] <aeon-ltd> skilz: at boot, when at grub press 'e' at the kernel of your choice
[05:29] <pfifo> aeon-ltd, skilz you only need to remove 'splash' nosplash wont do anything
[05:29] <mrdeb> i mena i dont know what is happening with screen saver in your case
[05:29] <excelsior> When watching a longish movie, it sometimes becomes jumpy. Any easy fixes? Or just restart the movie player?
[05:29] <skilz> pfifo, where I do remove that?
[05:29] <skilz> hat file do I edit?
[05:30] <EvilResistance> w30:  oop nevermind i found the source of the break
[05:30] <polardude1983> crazytrane, if i change it to /polly\ doggy\ it still comes up with polly  or if i do /polly/ doggy/ it comes up with just doggy
[05:30] <GhostWolf> mrdeb, its not my screensaver thats the issue. you didn't read the full post..
[05:30] <urlin2u> !grub 2
[05:30] <EvilResistance> w30:  i should just read build logs.. :P
[05:30] <mrdeb> i read it
[05:30] <urlin2u> !grub
[05:30] <pfifo> skilz, /etc/grub.d
[05:31] <crazytrane> polardude1983, if you type the filepath in a shell, does it tab complete?
[05:31] <GhostWolf> obviously you didn't cause i didn't mentioin the scrreensaver was my issue. i did mention the power/screen saver but didn't say that was the issue..
[05:32] <polardude1983> crazytrane, not exactly sure what you mean by that. sorry.
[05:32] <crazytrane> pressing tab in a shell will auto complete the filename
[05:32] <crazytrane> so you don't have to type the whole thing
[05:32] <mrdeb> well i can help you but that is not clear
[05:33] <GhostWolf> don't then, again its not about my screen saver, its about unbutu not loading period..
[05:33] <crazytrane> so "cd pol[TAB]" will/should auto complete
[05:33] <webnet> mrdeb the issue is drive failure. figured that out in pm
[05:34] <mrdeb> what
[05:34] <GhostWolf> for anyone else who might be able to help, i also have link from imageshack i took of my monitor from the end of a recovery mode for ubuntu, if its too hard for you to help on main you can also pm me, here is the post, hi all, have an issue, webnet has been trying to help me but he suggested i ask on the main, i woke up earlier today and seemed my mouse and kb stopped working, cause i couldn't get my power saver back to my
[05:34] <GhostWolf> normal screen, manually turned off the pc, turned it back on, it took a long time for ubuntu to load, so i rebooted agian manually, and this time selected the ubuntu recovery console, it seems im having a problem loading ubuntu, i have an image of what it says after the last part of the recovery mode
[05:35] <Canadian1296> Can anyone help me with disabling casper autologin on a livecd im making?
[05:35] <polardude1983> I have no idea why its being such a butt about this lol
[05:36] <pfifo> Canadian1296, set a password for the ubuntu user
[05:36] <crazytrane> it's obviously something with the path, but your script is handling the space right
[05:37] <polardude1983> crazytrane, though when I take out the space in the actual folder and just do pollydoggy it works
[05:37] <polardude1983> crazytrane, but this is just a test directory, really want it to get working with spaces.
[05:38] <Canadian1296> pfifo: Tried that already. Even if i boot, set a password, then type "logout", i get logged back in automatically. I also tried changing the password in the config files before building, with no success
[05:38] <pfifo> polardude1983, you need to escape spaces with a backslash \ or enclose the filename inside of quotes ""
[05:39] <polardude1983> pfifo, tried that. still for some reason not working
[05:39] <crazytrane> he's escaping the space right, i recreated the directory here, and tested your script. works here. lol
[05:39] <crazytrane> i know that doesn't help
[05:40] <pfifo> Canadian1296, hmm, im not sure then... It worked for me last time I needed to do it
[05:41] <Canadian1296> pfifo: Which one worked for you? passwd after booting from the livecd, or setting one before building the cd
[05:42] <pfifo> Canadian1296, setting one while building
[05:42] <polardude1983> i tried changing it to for file in ~/Videos/test/polly\ doggy/*.* but didnt work. hmm weird
[05:43] <Canadian1296> pfifo: Okay, ill try again just to see. Did you use mkpasswd and place the encrypted pass in the config file, or just use "passwd" while in the chroot? (I use debootstrap and the chroot into it.)
[05:43] <D347H> hola
[05:44] <pfifo> Canadian1296, i use debootstrap and chroot in, create a user named ubuntu with the id of 999 and set a password using passwd ubuntu
[05:45] <Canadian1296> okay thanks, ill try that
[05:46] <sidney> pfifo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/765628/
[05:47] <pfifo> sidney, looks good
[05:48] <polardude1983> i even tried doing in="polly doggy" then /home/user/"$in"/*.* and still didnt work. just did polly
[05:48] <polardude1983> maybe a restart will make it work lol :P
[05:48] <sidney> pfifo,  the thing is I don't know how it got that way
[05:48] <mrdeb> is everhyone enjoying ubuntu in this holiday season
[05:48] <mrdeb> ?
[05:49] <pfifo> sidney, is your machine upgrading correctly now?
[05:49] <bluegoon> My desktop to emitting a steady pulsating drone.. not enjoying this
[05:49] <sidney> trying now
[05:50] <sidney> pfifo, Unable to lock the list directory
[05:51] <pfifo> sidney did you run it with sudo?
[05:52] <share> ^
[05:52] <sidney> pfifo, it still failed
[05:53] <bullgard4> mrdeb: Me.
[05:53] <exoterico> ciao
[05:53] <exoterico> list!
[05:53] <sidney> pfifo,  it still looking for http//hacktolive
[05:53] <pfifo> sidney, im not sure then, but yes, a reinstall will fix your system at any rate
[05:54] <sidney> pfifo, thank for your time good night
[05:54] <bullgard4> »~$ ps faux | grep gvfsd-cdda; /usr/lib/gvfs-cdda --spawner :1.1 /org/gtk/gvfs/exec_spaw/3«. What does "spawner" here mean?
[05:55] <polardude1983> I am gonna try without the directory and just run it within whatever directory i am gonna run it in
[05:55] <gunfire007> so ubuntu has support for optimus technology ?
[05:56] <gunfire007> i have heared that optimus technology enabled more battery is drained is that true ?

[05:57] <borari> hey is anybody alive on here>
[05:57] <Canadian1296> Yeah
[05:58] <borari> so... i got a question about this ubuntu thing...
[05:58] <pfifo> this is the zombie channel, were all dead
[05:58] <Canadian1296> borari: what's your question?
[05:58] <share> end of the world
[05:58] <webnet> borari, whats going on
[05:58] <borari> So i just upgraded to the newest version
[05:58] <webnet> ok.
[05:59] <black_ru> hello al, pls does it work ? i am testing apache
[05:59] <borari> and now I cannot log in to my account
[05:59] <usr13> borari: put it all on one line.
[05:59] <black_ru> http://runix.sytes.net/
[05:59] <usr13> borari: Wrong password?
[05:59] <borari> alright. I just upgraded Ubuntu and can only log in as a guest. when logging in to my regular account, scfreen flashes black to quickly for me to see the text and back to login
[06:00] <usr13> borari: Upgraded from ________ to ___________ ?
[06:00] <pfifo> black_ru, seems to be working
[06:00] <black_ru> pfifo, thx
[06:01] <borari> version 11.04 to 11.10
[06:01] <w30> borari, check ownership of your home directory files and folders, especially .Xdefaults and .Xauthority
[06:03] <w30> borari, if it turns out to be root that owns these files it can be caused by using sudo for a GUI app. Use gksu for GUI apps instead.
[06:04] <borari> ownership of my home folder says it is root. is that what I want or do I want it to be my username?
[06:04] <elky> you want it to be your username, borari
[06:05] <w30> borari, for example if your login user is borari, then borari should be owner and group
[06:05] <Canadian1296> What packages would you recommend for a LiveCD ("password hacking" tools like chntpw, recovery tools, etc.)? No gui on the livecd so command line tools only please...
[06:05] <borari> ah ok. can i change the ownership though the emergency ctrl+alt+f1 terminal? I am pretty new to linux here sorry...
[06:05] <sasank> how can i learn programs
[06:06] <w30> borari, yes
[06:06] <webnet> go here for a list of tools Canadian1296 http://www.gnacktrack.co.uk/faqs.php
[06:07] <w30> chown -R borari.borari  *
[06:07] <elky> borari, you'll need to do: sudo chown borari:borari /home/borari
[06:07] <pfifo> Canadian1296, parted and emacs, aircrack
[06:07] <webnet> that is pentest tools btw'
[06:07] <sasank> n programs
[06:08] <Canadian1296> pfifo: thanks
[06:08] <Canadian1296> webnet: okay ill take a look
[06:08] <w30> borari, yeah, stick a -
[06:08] <pfifo> Canadian1296, i would say wireshark but since you dont have a gui youll have to use tcpdump
[06:08] <w30> -R flag on chown for recursive
[06:08] <bluegoon> sasnak, there are many books available for many languages.
[06:09] <sasank> is there any logic applied in programs
[06:09] <webnet> kk. not all are good Canadian1296  but alot of good cracking tools
[06:09] <Stanley00> sasank: yes, and, or not and so on ... :)
[06:09] <share> !null
[06:10] <Canadian1296> webnet: thanks
[06:10] <sasank> any book for c language
[06:10] <sbts> borari: you may need to also use the -R flag for chown to recursivly change the content of your home dir. but only if things inside your home dir are incorrectly owned
[06:11] <webnet> sasank, google it?
[06:11] <Canadian1296> Any other recommended packages, more disk utilities now?
[06:11] <borari> w30 thanks for the help, off to try and figure it out... I'll be back!
[06:11] <bluegoon> sasank, google for MIT open courseware, there are some Engineering development concept programs.
[06:11] <webnet> hmm Canadian1296 well there is testdisk and photorec
[06:11] <sasank> easiest way for learning any programming language
[06:12] <webnet> Canadian1296, those are in my opinion are invaluable. you can add ophcrack as well to help get into windows system
[06:13] <Stanley00> sasank: there is no easiest way, the easier way is from basic to advanced
[06:13] <Canadian1296> webnet: alright
[06:14] <sasank> which programming language should i take first
[06:14] <Blue1> basic?
[06:14] <pfifo> sasank, python
[06:14] <Stanley00> sasank: I prefer pascal
[06:15] <Blue1> my first language, was fortran ii, fwiw
[06:15] <enot> НЯ! ^_^
[06:15] <bluegoon> sasank, google Microsoft Small Basic, its very well built for beginners.
[06:16] <sbts> bluegoon: shame on you, suggesting a M$ language in a linux channel!!!!!
[06:16] <pfifo> sasank, learn m68k assembly for your first language
[06:16] <bluegoon> sbts, hehe
[06:16] <Canadian1296> sasank: i started by messing around on microsoft with vbs and bat scripting. Then went for it and taught myself C++...
[06:16] <sasank> earlier i hd some grasp upon c and c++ but it becomes difficult to write programs
[06:16] <Blue1> bluegoon: actuallyh that  isn't a bad place to sart
[06:16] <enot> пыщ пыщ пыщ пыщ пыщ пыщ пыщ пыыыыыыыыыщ
[06:17] <Stanley00> my first language is pascal, from where I learn algorithm, and then step to C, and OOP in C++, never try python, what a pity!
[06:17] <sbts> sasank: it depends on what you want to do in the end. any pascal based language would be good as a first as it will teach you good structure from the beginning
[06:17] <OerHeks> !ru | enot
[06:17] <bluegoon> Bluel, I actually read up on Small Basic, its a very honest and interesting project, meant specifically for people new to programming.
[06:17] <sbts> sasank: check out freepascal and lazuraus (I think that is spelled right)
[06:17] <Blue1> bluegoon: it is a good first choice
[06:17] <sasank> future in c++
