[03:43] <JGodbout> I'm not sure. I'm just using the System->Keyboard->Layout option atm
[03:43] <kn100> Irishmanluke: never tried
[03:43] <kn100> Irishmanluke: there is probably a way somewhere
[03:43] <drakonik> I dunno, is there a linux equivalent to "ipconfig /flushdns"?
[03:44] <foolish2984> 怎么都不说话
[03:44] <charles`_> drakonik, is there a way to see what all config files in etc differ from their defaults?
[03:44] <drakonik> charles`_: Beats the ever loving hell out of me. I"m in here for a problem of my own that's way above my head.
[03:45] <Irishmanluke> kn100: there are drivers for the wiimotes but I don't know 1 if they cover all the inputs of the wiimote or 2 if it will work with the emulator
[03:45] <Lostinspace_46> JGodbout: well you can switch layouts that way, but to mod the layout, it takes more.  Why dont you pm me.
[03:45] <Silver_Swords> allot of HP machines suck. there are some that work well with linux thou.
[03:45] <kn100> Irishmanluke: the emulator uses the mouse and im sure theres a way ro use a wiimote to control the mouse
[03:45] <kn100> so it might work
[03:45] <kn100> dont have a wiimote though :P
[03:45] <Irishmanluke> hah
[03:46] <refrer> hmmm.. I wanna do some music programing.. I wanna do keyboards.. does anyone know any good softwares for that?
[03:46] <Irishmanluke> yeah you can definately do that
[03:46] <DouglasK> refrer: rosegarden
[03:46] <kn100> Irishmanluke: the emulator ROCKS, its better than the original console
[03:46] <refrer> DouglasK : thank you
[03:46] <kn100> it can output 720p
[03:46] <DouglasK> no worries.... I've driven my kbd with it before, and you can do staff based editing
[03:47] <webb> anyone know why i cant hit control alt backspace to reboott system
[03:47] <gartral> kn100: wiicd is the app/driver, and it has highly limited mouse capabilities, and none at all without 2 ir sonsors ("or a modified wiibar)
[03:47] <kn100> webb: disabled in 9.04
[03:47] <bastidrazor> !dontzap | webb
[03:47] <kn100> webb: a similar shortcut is ctrl alt printscreen k
[03:47] <frozeneskimo> hey, does anyone know if it's possible to reset an overrun serial port?
[03:47] <craCkpot> can anyone recommend a good PHP ide? with syntax highlighting and the like?
[03:47] <webb> k thanks
[03:47] <frozeneskimo> i keep on having to reboot
[03:48] <kn100> jesus windows feels primitive
[03:48] <gartral> wooo netsplits!
[03:48] <webb> where do i get dontzap from
[03:49] <gartral> webb: sudo apt-get dontzap <- this has been mentioned a few times in the past few minutes
[03:49] <kn100> !dontzap | webb
[03:49] <nmvictor> Thank God everythings back to normal, now this looks like an ubuntu channel
[03:49] <IdleOne> webb: Sytem > Administration > Synaptic package manager is another way of installing packages
[03:50] <IdleOne> System*
[03:50] <gartral> kn100: that info lacks how to install dontzap
[03:50] <kn100> open a terminal, type sudo apt-get install dontzap
[03:50] <Alexia> ubottu, what is SysRq?
[03:50] <webb> i got it
[03:50] <kn100> gartral: sorry, another bot in another channel had the command
[03:50] <kn100> i assumed this one had it
[03:50] <drakonik> haha
[03:50] <Alexia> ubottu, LOL
[03:50] <Alexia> lol its actually a bot
[03:50] <Alexia> i thought ubottu was real
[03:51] <drakonik> haha
[03:51] <drakonik> I lol'd
[03:51] <kn100> ubottu is epic
[03:51] <IdleOne> Alexia: it's a bot yes
[03:51] <gartral> !bot | Alexia
[03:51] <sn0n> LoL
[03:51] <gartral> !botsnack
[03:51] <Alexia> that is so funny i cant believe I thought ubottu was a real person LOL!!
[03:51] <IdleOne> Alexia: lots of people do
[03:51] <kn100> ubnotu ftw
[03:51] <refrer> Douglas : does guitar chords even work in that software
[03:52] <ctmjr> Strife89: did you read this yet? http://amsn-project.net/wiki/Farsight
[03:52] <refrer> DouglasK : does guitar chords even work in that software
[03:52] <nmvictor> anyone willing to help me setup phpmyadmin and mysql?Its stressing me out
[03:52] <Cpudan80> !lamp | nmvictor
[03:53] <craCkpot> nmvictor: I would recommend using XAMPP http://apachefriends.org
[03:53] <Irishmanluke> nmvictor: I just learned the bare essentials to that, anything complex idk
[03:53] <craCkpot> decompress it and run: /opt/lampp/lampp start and your server starts
[03:53] <craCkpot> phpMyAdmin is preinstalled
[03:53] <IdleOne> How do I enable voice chat in Empathy? using jaunty
[03:54] <name> how can i make firefox start maximized?
[03:54] <DouglasK> refrer: I don't know off hand ... I know you can do chords, but I don't know if you can tell it, "Play an E major"
[03:54] <Strife89> ctmjr: I have now, thanks. However, I'm trying to compile Farsight because I read that it would enable audio support for Yahoo in Pidgin.
[03:55] <refrer> ohh
[03:55] <nmvictor> Irishmanluke: could the bare essentials include username and password setting in mysql?that'd help
[03:55] <nmvictor> Irishmanluke: could the bare essentials include username and password setting in phpmyadmin?that'd help
[03:55] <Irishmanluke> nmvictor: yes
[03:55] <IdleOne> nmvictor: please dont repeat so quickly
[03:56] <Irishmanluke> nmvictor: I have to see if I remember this though
[03:56] <nmvictor> Irishmanluke: how do i go around that?
[03:56] <Silver_Swords> those that want audio/video with yahoo chats, try gyachy
[03:56] <ctmjr> Strife89: oh ok do not know much about it there was something on there about audio in msn do not know if it will work with yahoo
[03:56] <nmvictor> IdleOne: sorry, i had mistyped something
[03:57] <Strife89> Silver_Swords: How stable is it?
[03:57] <Strife89> ctmjr: Thanks anyway. :)
[03:57] <IdleOne> nmvictor:  your right I just saw that
[03:57] <Irishmanluke> nmvictor: alright so you've logged into mysql as root?
[03:57] <frozeneskimo> hi, i'm trying to unload the usbserial kernel module temporarily, but it errors out: "ERROR: Removing 'usbserial': Resource temporarily unavailable", is there anyway I can remove it? (i tried force in rmmod with -f)
[03:58] <TheChuckster> can someone verify that http://thechuckster.homelinux.com/ works?
[03:58] <Silver_Swords> Strife89, i dont use it, but according to my little sis it works great.
[03:58] <Paraj> Found my problem with dpkg erroring with raid errors when trying to install linux-restricted-module s. /boot partition was too small, because it would have been so friggin hard to say that in a log file or terminal output or somethhing >:(
[03:58] <frozeneskimo> TheChuckster, works for me
[03:58] <TheChuckster> yay!
[03:58] <Mike_lifeguard> How can I make Transmission, the P2P client, use encryption?
[03:58] <TheChuckster> now my openbsd server is officially upgraded to 4.5
[03:58] <Strife89> Silver_Swords: I'm having little luck finding it; got a link?
[03:58] <TheChuckster> clean install and everything!
[03:58] <TheChuckster> :)
[03:59] <Silver_Swords> Strife89: http://gyachi.sourceforge.net/intro.shtml
[03:59] <TheChuckster> got any good suggestions on how to secure it?
[03:59] <TheChuckster> i dont want my site hacked
[03:59] <Strife89> Silver_Swords: Thanks; I'll give it a whirl. :)
[03:59] <Flannel> TheChuckster: This is #ubuntu, you should ask the openBSD people about your openBSD box.
[03:59] <Silver_Swords> Strife89: good luck.
[03:59] <nmvictor> Irishmanluke: #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)  thats what i get, and whats the username and password anyway?don't think i have that right either.
[03:59] <TheChuckster> woops i'm sorry
[03:59] <TheChuckster> Flannel, i wasn't sure
[04:00] <TheChuckster> i was in the wrong xchat tab
[04:00] <Silver_Swords> bye all
[04:00] <giiker> anybosy used zoneminder? here
[04:00] <giiker> anybody used zoneminder? here
[04:01] <Irishmanluke> nmvictor: when you first try to login to mysql you just need to type myswl then you get to configuring users and passwords, to login with a user and password mysql -u user -p then tupe password
[04:01] <automan070192> hey my su password and my user password arent the  same thing any thoughts?
[04:01] <Irishmanluke> nmvictor: based on your error though that is not the problem
[04:02] <Flannel> automan070192: su uses the root password.  The root account is disabled by default.  sudo uses your user password (by default)
[04:02] <automan070192> well its not working i type it in and says authentication failure
[04:03] <psycho_oreos> in other words you're meant to use sudo <command>
[04:03] <Hydrant> does anyone know how to install the latest gcc without breaking the whole system?
[04:04] <puff> Hm, okay, perhaps an odd question, but what's the performance impact of a software RAID?
[04:04] <drakonik> So I've managed to pare my problem down a bit.
[04:04] <puff> That is, if you're doing some CPU-intense calculations on a fairly buff CPU, is the CPU usage of a software RAID setup going to be noticable?
[04:05] <drakonik> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart yields the error "changes will take effect when all current X sessions have ended"
[04:05] <gartral> Hydrant: im not sure, but i think your limited to useing GCC version only supported by our libc...
[04:05] <automan070192> how do you install java?
[04:05] <Irishmanluke> nmvictor: I think I know what your problem is but I have to think for a sec there's something you have to run to configure mysql
[04:05] <giiker> 1java
[04:05] <giiker> !java
[04:05] <drakonik> So for whatever reason, gdm itself thinks X is running.
[04:06] <gartral> puff: that depends on what raid type your running, and accros how many drives
[04:06] <drakonik> Any ides on how to fix it?
[04:06] <puff> gartral: RAID 1.  Two drives.
[04:06] <puff> nmvictor: Mysql?
[04:06] <jason__> drakonik, there may be some clues in the script - in /etc/init.d/gdm
[04:06] <drakonik> hrm
[04:06] <drakonik> alright
[04:06] <puff> nmvictor: Gimme a sec to check the scrollback, but it sounds like you're having the usual setup issues.
[04:06] <drakonik> I'll look
[04:06] <nmvictor> Irishmanluke: yes and maybe this will also help, ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2).its what i get when i type mysql -u root
[04:06] <drakonik> as much as I don't wanna
[04:07] <gartral> puff: laughable at worst.. but it also depends on the software running the raid
[04:07] <puff> gartral: Ubuntu?
[04:07] <Alexia> puff, I have several benchmarks for you to look at would you like for me to message them to you
[04:07] <nmvictor> puff: yea, i'll really appreciate,any help?
[04:07] <Lostinspace_46> In xmodmap I want <Alt_R> + <L_Arrow> to = left mouse button...any suggestions?
[04:07] <puff> gartral: Basically, I have a friend whose small startup just built a linux box with 192 GB of ram for this radiation exposure software they're working on.  They've asked me to come by and set up RAID 1.
[04:07] <gartral> puff: Ubuntu is the OS, i dont know what Ubuntu uses to do software raids
[04:08] <puff> Alexia: I guess, I'm hoping for just a general sense of the answer :-).
[04:08] <puff> gartral: mdmadm, I think.
[04:08] <Mike_lifeguard> gartral: software raids... is that like kitchen raids?
[04:08] <puff> nmvictor: Okay, so you installed mysql?
[04:08] <Lostinspace_46> My main issue is defining the mouse button in xbindkey
[04:08] <uplink> Hi everyone
[04:09] <nmvictor> puff: yea
[04:09] <puff> nmvictor: Using the u buntu package manager?
[04:09] <Strife89> Can I get some help with the instructions on this page? https://launchpad.net/~loell/+archive/ppa
[04:09] <drakonik> Awesome.
[04:09] <Strife89> I'm having difficulties with the signing key.
[04:09] <Alexia> Well it may be different for you but the benchmarks I have found say that in certain scenarios performance can be equal to or better than a hardware raid
[04:09] <Mike_lifeguard> Strife89: what kind of help?
[04:09] <drakonik> I can sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[04:09] <Inc`> Did I miss a notice about packages.ubuntu.com being down for maintenance? Or is it not supposed to be down?
[04:09] <puff> nmvictor: Did you do anything else with mysql after you installed the package?
[04:09] <nmvictor> puff: aptitude
[04:09] <drakonik> And it says "GDM running"
[04:09] <drakonik> :|
[04:09] <nmvictor> puff: nop
[04:09] <Alexia> puff, http://advosys.ca/viewpoints/2007/04/setting-up-software-raid-in-ubuntu-server/
[04:09] <Strife89> Mike_lifeguard: I'm having trouble with the signing key.
[04:09] <Flannel> Inc`: It's not supposed to be down
[04:09] <Mike_lifeguard> drakonik: what did you expect?
[04:09] <puff> Alexia: Yeah, I got that point and that's cool, I'm just wondering if it will use up noticable amounts of CPU.
[04:09] <Mike_lifeguard> drakonik: try restart instead of start?
[04:09] <gartral> puff: if that's so, you should be able to throw it together with no measurable cpu usage unless they're trasnferring the entire RAM contents to HDD...
[04:09] <drakonik> Mike_lifeguard: I expected gnome to start.
[04:10] <gartral> Mike_lifeguard: don't make me lart you
[04:10] <puff> Alexia: That is, it just occurred to me, if it's using the CPU to do that, and they're running these CPU intense calculations... maybe they'd be better off with some sort of nightly backup.
[04:10] <drakonik> GNOME isn't running in any imaginable capacity
[04:10] <Strife89> Mike_lifeguard: I'm following the instructions to a T, but Ubuntu continues to tell me that the public key is unavailible.
[04:10] <nmvictor> puff: so....
[04:10] <Mike_lifeguard> Strife89: keyserver may well be down
[04:11] <drakonik> Nor is X. Which is why I"m so puzzled when 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' chokes and dies.
[04:11] <puff> nmvictor: Okay, cool, so did oyu do anything else after doing sudo aptitude install mysql ?
[04:11] <Mike_lifeguard> One wonders why we let these people write our os if they can't keep a keyserver up for a reasonable proportion of the time
[04:11] <drakonik> Dies saying "Changes will be applied once all current X sessions are stopped.
[04:11] <puff> nmvictor:  Also, you said you wanted to install phpadmin and al that?
[04:11] <Strife89> Mike_lifeguard: Could it have something to do with the R? The full key is 1024R/DB2035A6 .
[04:11] <Alexia> puff, I think it is just going to be so dependent on a huge variety of things, cpu-speed, diskwrite performance, size of file chunks, etc
[04:11] <puff> nmvictor: In which case you're going to need to install some related packages.
[04:11] <puff> Alexia: Well yeah, obviously.
[04:11] <gartral> drakonik: are you using x11 forwarding over ssh?
[04:12] <Alexia> puff, I dont think there is any one answer to your question
[04:12] <puff> nmvictor: But first things first, let's get mysql done.
[04:12] <drakonik> gartral: No.
[04:12] <gartral> drakonik: ok.. my ideas shot down then
[04:12] <drakonik> At the moment, I'm in a system shell
[04:12] <puff> Alexia: I'm just looking for a rough sense of it, an order of magnitude estimate.
[04:13] <puff> drakonik: One odd idea, use ps to check and see if you have a hung X process maybe.
[04:13] <horm> ANYONE ABUTS
[04:13] <Alexia> puff, look through the benchmarks, besides that Im not sure what to tell you
[04:13] <drakonik> I don't.
[04:13] <drakonik> I know I don't.
[04:13] <puff> drakonik:  Or possibly reboot - something hasn't let go of a lock file, maybe?
[04:13] <puff> Alexia: Alright, thanks though.
[04:13] <nmvictor> puff: yea, and hel phpmyadmin is already installed, its the username and password to access it that i havent configured too.so lets fix mysql right?
[04:13] <Mike_lifeguard> Strife89: http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/keyserver.ubuntu.com
[04:13]  * gartral wonders what horm s screaming about
[04:13] <drakonik> puff: That's my theory
[04:13] <drakonik> But I have no idea how ot find out what lock file it is
[04:13] <drakonik> And reboot doesn't help.
[04:13] <puff> nmvictor: Okay, so you still haven't answered my question :-)
[04:13] <drakonik> I've rebooted at least ten times tonight.
[04:13] <Strife89> Mike_lifeguard: Ah, okay. :)
[04:14] <puff> nmvictor: Did you do anything after running "sudo aptitude install mysql"?
[04:14] <Mike_lifeguard> Strife89: you'll get used to it, the keyserver has pretty bad uptime :\
[04:14] <ctmjr> Strife89: click on the link for the key then click it again copy and paste it (where it says begin key here not the big fonts) into a text editor then save it then add it to synaptic
[04:14] <Strife89> Mike_lifeguard: It appears I can still get the packages anyway, they just can't be authenticated.
[04:14] <Mike_lifeguard> Strife89: yes, the packages themselves are elsewhere
[04:14] <nmvictor> puff: i dint do anything to it except for the passwd or something, its been a while since that installation.
[04:14] <DouglasK> Ooohhh.... Lightning tonight!
[04:15] <Mike_lifeguard> it's probably safe, but you shouldn't technically install anything you haven't verified :\
[04:15] <drakonik> Rebooting doesn't help, and I"m not starting anything even remotely related to X
[04:15] <puff> nmvictor: canyo clarify "except for the password or something?"
[04:15] <DouglasK> Either that or a transformer blew at the power station across the river.
[04:15] <drakonik> So there's no reason for dpkg to hang up, unless there's some kind of lockfile that isn't being cleaned up the way it should
[04:15] <puff> nmvictor: Also, to be specific, are you installing all of this on the same box?
[04:15] <Irishmanluke> nmvictor: the mysql daemone is not running
[04:15] <nmvictor> puff: could be the password, i cant really remember but while installing it did ask for something related to that
[04:15] <Strife89> gyachi installed, logged in. Anyone willing to help me test it?
[04:16] <puff> Irishmanluke: We'll get to that...
[04:16] <coreyman> I'm editing /etc/network/interfaces and what is the broadcast and network switch? I'm not sure what to put here, I know what my gateway is, I know what my netmask is, and i know the static ip i want to assign it.
[04:16] <b3rz3rk3r> Strife89, test what?
[04:16] <puff> nmvictor: Okay, before we take the next step, is anybody else using this box, do we have to worry about interrupting service or losing user data?
[04:16] <nmvictor> puff: phpmyadmin and mysql, yea they are already installed in the same box
[04:17] <Strife89> b3rz3rk3r: I'd just like to test gyachi's video and/or audio features.
[04:17] <puff> nmvictor: next step then, "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql status"
[04:17] <puff> nmvictor: Wait, you didn't answer the user question.
[04:17] <Strife89> b3rz3rk3r: Basically, I need someone who uses Yahoo Messenger or a related client.
[04:17] <nmvictor> puff: using means something like, another user, no their is just me and root.that gave stopped
[04:18] <coreyman>  I'm editing /etc/network/interfaces and what is the broadcast and network switch? I'm not sure what to put here, I know what my gateway is, I know what my netmask is, and i know the static ip i want to assign it. I'm asking because i was ssh'ing into the box and now I can't access it via the ip I assigned it.
[04:18] <puff> nmvictor: Okay, so next step then, "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql status"
[04:18] <b3rz3rk3r> Strife89, sry irc only
[04:18] <b3rz3rk3r> Strife89, oh, having said that.. i do use google chat
[04:18] <nmvictor> puff: MYSQL is stopped.thats the output
[04:18] <b3rz3rk3r> Strife89, that work?
[04:18] <puff> nmvictor: Good 'nuff then, Irishmanluke  is right.  Next step:  "sudo /etc/init.d/mysql start"
[04:19] <gartral> coreyman: not sure about the broadcast part, but networkswitch should be left alone unless you specifically want all traffic routed through a switch
[04:19] <tonsofpcs> is there a gui tool for creating disk (or partition) images and the same or another tool to mount the image (from a gui.  Yes, I know you can do this with a command line)
[04:19] <Irishmanluke> puff: that's what you get from the error message when runningb mysql
[04:19] <Strife89> b3rz3rk3r: Unfortunately, no. Gyachi is Yahoo only, from what I can tell.
[04:19] <nmvictor> puff:  Irishmanluke  ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2)
[04:19] <coreyman> gartral no...... they are vaules in the file
[04:19] <coreyman> gartral they dont specifically say switch
[04:19] <coreyman> gartral i was reffering to them as a switch.
[04:19] <puff> Harrum.
[04:19] <sahadev1> hello, on my laptop, wireless auto-connects when I log on to gnome (i am a member of the 'admin' group), but when other users who aren't members of the admin group log in, wireless does NOT auto-connect.
[04:19] <coreyman> gartral i'll refer to value now
[04:20] <gartral> !enter | coreyman
[04:20] <Irishmanluke> puff: what needs to start is mysqld but it needs to be configured first
[04:20] <sahadev1> what should i change in my network config to make that happen?
[04:20] <coreyman> gartral thank you very much I couldn't think of everything i wanted to say in one paragraph
[04:20] <nmvictor> Irishmanluke: think you are right, still on this puff ?
[04:21] <nmvictor> puff: know how to confugure?
[04:22] <puff> nmvictor:  Hang on, I'm checking on this.
[04:22] <gartral> coreyman: well... sometimes it's better to hold your thought back and formulate a larg cohesive one, rather than many small, hard too follow ones, but im not sure what to do with those values either
[04:22] <nmvictor> puff: cool
[04:22] <puff> nmvictor: Btw, did you do any ubuntu updates since you installed mysql?
[04:23] <nmvictor> puff: yea, yesterday, through update manager
[04:23] <horm> Anyone willing to help: I've got a problem with nm-applet. In the process of adding applets to the panel in gnome (9.04, 64bit), nm-applet and the bluetooth applet somehow got removed. Network connections still work fine, and my wifi card would still autoconnect to my home network, but i have no control over it. When I try to run "nm-applet" in the terminal, I get this error: http://www.geeknook.org/p/paste/45/ ---- Any ideas?
[04:24] <Irishmanluke> nmvictor: alright I think the first time t
[04:24] <Seidos> anyone else not getting low battery notifications before they run out of juice?
[04:24] <Seidos> thought I solved the problem, but it seems to have creeped up again
[04:24] <puff> nmvictor: Is your disk full?   check "df"
[04:24] <nmvictor> puff: then i reinstalled apache2 and phpmyadmin, so i have a feeling it reconfigured everything with mysql
[04:24] <ironfoot_495> Hello I hope that someone can help me find out why on movie player I can no longer stream youtube video's I get the error  -> Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file.
[04:24] <tonsofpcs> horm: ps aux | grep -i n[m]-applet
[04:24] <coreyman> gartral i think im going to leave out those values and see if it works.
[04:25] <drakonik> oh dear
[04:25] <tonsofpcs> what's that say? [lists processes, pipes through grep to only select lines where nm-applet appears]
[04:25] <drakonik> I saw a kernel panic somewhere in the bootup sequence
[04:25] <Irishmanluke> nmvictor: the first time you start the mysql server you want to use mysqld_safe so try running that
[04:25] <drakonik> This does not bode well.
[04:25] <puff> nmvictor: I'm seeing other reports of similar problems after an upgrade.
[04:25] <nmvictor> nop, i have some giga left, like 4.its a dualboot with vista, and you know how selfish vista can get with HDD.
[04:25] <ironfoot_495> I really need some serious help with this one!!!
[04:26] <puff> nmvictor: Last resort would be to completely remove and purge mysql and reinstall it, but let me dig a little before we do t hat.
[04:26] <horm> tonsofpcs: horm     17601  0.0  0.4<PHONE_NUMBER>2 ?        S    23:11   0:00 nm-applet --sm-disable
[04:26] <tonsofpcs> horm: it seems that it is already running then.
[04:26] <drakonik> yep. kernel panic.
[04:26] <drakonik> On top of sixteen thousand errors related to the hard disk somehow
[04:26] <horm> tonsofpcs: yes, that's where im confused
[04:26] <tonsofpcs> horm: desktop/personal machine or server?  [can you safely reboot without it being a pita?]
[04:26] <nmvictor> puff: wasnt an upgrade though, just an update or are they one and the same thing?
[04:27] <ironfoot_495> Is there anyone familiar with this problem??
[04:27] <horm> tonsofpcs: yeah, personal
[04:27] <drakonik> Time to burn a livecd, fsck the hell out of it, and see what I can salvage.
[04:27] <tonsofpcs> drakonik: check that your PSU is providing enough power
[04:27] <tonsofpcs> horm: try rebooting?
[04:27] <drakonik> Well, for tonight, I'm done.
[04:27] <horm> tonsofpcs: been like this for a week, yesw
[04:27] <Irishmanluke> nmvictor: did you try running mysqld_safe
[04:27] <sahadev1> hello, on my laptop, wireless auto-connects when I log on to gnome (i am a member of the 'admin' group), but when other non-admin users log in, wireless does NOT auto-connect. what should i change in my network config to make that happen?
[04:27] <horm> tonsofpcs: i created a new user account and it shows when i log onto that one
[04:27] <nmvictor> Irishmanluke: command not found
[04:28] <ironfoot_495> I tried here earlier but they confused me about movie player and I went back to google and still I have not found a cure for  -> the ERROR Could not open location; you might not have permission to open the file.
[04:28] <tsrk_> sahadev1, right click on the network icon, click edit connections, choose the connection and click edit. in the box, at the bottom, there is a checkbox - "available to all users"
[04:29] <bumblebee> i screwed up my gstreamer installation and totem does not open any vide file i do rectify gstreamer
[04:29] <CoJaBo-Aztec> I thought XFCE wasnt supposed to use a lot of memory?
[04:29] <Irishmanluke> nmvictor: you'll want to run this as root so sudo /usr/bin/mysqld_safe
[04:29] <K4k> Attempting to install ubuntu 9.04 on a machine with a RAID 1 setup. Tried running install with boot options "/casper/vmlinuz noapic nolapic" and got an error message stating "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block" Can anyone help me out, I get this with multiple CD images and multiple Ubuntu versions
[04:29] <nmvictor> Irishmanluke: ok
[04:29] <puff> nmvictor: Shot in the dark, but use ifconfig to check if the loopback device is u p.
[04:30] <Irishmanluke> nmvictor: if it worked try mysql again
[04:30] <sahadev1> tsrk_: thanks very much.
[04:30] <horm> no more ideas, tonsofpcs?
[04:30] <horm> not trying to pester, just want to know if i should be waiting for a response
[04:30] <rsvp> just wondering why mawk is included in Ubuntu, whereas gawk is not (by default)...
[04:31] <lowki> how do I set how long before the screen goes black

[04:31] <gartral>     * If you are a developer, get all the tecnhicall information on development page;
[04:32] <puff> nmvictor: So does the mysql client work now?
[04:32] <biovore> bumblebee: if you still have the stuff you used to install it.. some packages have a make uninstall
[04:32] <nmvictor> puff: Irishmanluke: Got that?
[04:32] <gvsa123> help please... my usb isn't mounting at all.... it did just a couple of days ago.. i don't know what happened]
[04:33] <nmvictor> puff: Still stopped
[04:33] <Irishmanluke> nmvictor: yeah
[04:33] <mds58> can anyone help me to get gutenpy started I installed the .deb (sudo dpkg -i **.deb) but it wont run when selected in applications
[04:33] <nmvictor> puff: thats what /etc/init.d/mysql status reports. MYSQL is stopped
[04:34] <Lostinspace_46> In xmodmap I want <Alt_R> + <L_Arrow> to = left mouse button...any suggestions?
[04:34] <puff> nmvictor: Well since you didn't start it with /etc/init.d/mysql, that might not show up, try "ps -ef | fgrep -i mysql"
[04:34] <bumblebee> biovore:thanks it worked
[04:35] <lowki> thanks go ti
[04:35] <Loafers> I wanted to play quicktime videos in browser so I installed "ubuntu-restricted-extras" and it still doesn't play quicktime  and now it has my fonts all messed up.  So I uninstalled/purged it and the fonts are still screwy... How do I fix this?
[04:36] <puff> nmvictor: Just to check, the error you pasted, you got that when you tried:  "sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld start" ?
[04:36] <nmvictor> nmvictor-10090-8265-0 06:35-pts/2-00:00:00 fgrep -i mysql
[04:37] <puff> nmvictor: Just to check, the error you pasted, you got that when you tried:  "sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld start" ?
[04:37] <nmvictor> puff: your command gives that. ignore the hyphens, dint want to flood again.nmvictor-10090-8265-0 06:35-pts/2-00:00:00 fgrep -i mysql
[04:37] <taijirobot> hi, guys, a question: if I had an account, what command should I use to get my identified by server?
[04:37] <taijirobot> my->me, sorry:-)
[04:37] <puff> nmvictor: Okay, so there's no mysql process.
[04:38] <puff> nmvictor: But the reason I asked was because that error message is a mysql client error message, not a mysql serve rerror message. Hm.
[04:38] <gvsa123> i wonder if some could help...my usb isn't mounting
[04:38] <fazz> anyone got invitation for demonoid?
[04:39] <nmvictor> puff: so i just have to purge?i still have the .deb backed up somewhere, i just need you to tell me the exact files i should place in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[04:40] <puff> nmvictor:  Yeah, wait  a sec first.
[04:40] <taijirobot> oh~~no body answer my question??
[04:40] <Irishmanluke> puff: nmvictor so it seems like we need to figure out some way to start mysqld or mysqld_safe but nothings working?
[04:40] <puff> nmvictor: Join #mysql and let's talk about it there.
[04:40] <nmvictor> Irishmanluke: yea, we are considering a reinstall
[04:40] <IdleOne> taijirobot: on freenode you mean?

[04:42] <mds58> can anyone help me to get gutenpy started I installed the .deb (sudo dpkg -i **.deb) but it wont run when selected in applications
[04:43] <nmvictor> puff: need to register first b4 i can use #mysql.right?whats the command to register?
[04:44] <gvsa123> ok... so i can't see the usb using fdisk... any ideas
[04:44] <lstarnes> !register | nmvictor
[04:44] <coreyman> Would someone that knows something about raid 1 arrays please message me.
[04:45] <mds58> gvsal123 does the drive light up when plugged in?(I know dumb question but sometimes it is the most obvious thing we over look)
[04:45] <nmvictor> lstarnes: that works in #mysql too?
[04:45] <kohlrak> what's the command to display the contents of a file in the terminal so i can grep it?
[04:45] <lstarnes> nmvictor: that is for all channels on freenode
[04:46] <leaf-sheep> kohlrak: cat fileName.txt
[04:46] <lstarnes> nmvictor: this channel is on freenode too
[04:46] <nmvictor> lstarnes: thanks
[04:46] <kohlrak> ahh, can't believe i forgot it, thanks leaf-sheep
[04:46] <vaio> Could anyone help me find out why my Function key isnt working on my sony vaio laptop using Xubuntu
[04:47] <kohlrak> function key?
[04:47] <SnakDoc> anyone ever had battery no longer show up ?
[04:47] <gartral> vaio: does it work in windows?
[04:48] <gartral> kohlrak: the "fN" key on laptops
[04:48] <mds58> can anyone help me to get gutenpy started I installed the .deb (sudo dpkg -i **.deb) but it wont run when selected in applications, has anyone else here used gutenpy???
[04:48] <bastidrazor> SnakDoc, look in the power management settings. you have the option to display it or no.
[04:48] <kohlrak> what are you trying to do with it?
[04:48] <gartral> !who | kohlrak
[04:49] <SnakDoc> bastidrazor the icon there but shows that it is running on ac power. i am starting to believe it is a hardware issue
[04:49] <vaio> gartal yes
[04:49] <vaio> i cant control the brightness
[04:49] <vaio> and its stuck on full
[04:49] <vaio> and drains the fukin battery
[04:50] <psi-jack> Okay. So, if you're primary focus on making an ubuntu 9.04 server was to make it a router, would you use ufw, firestarter, or something else?
[04:50] <grouper> hello, i've installed ubuntu netbook remix on my eeepc with a 4gb ssd
[04:50] <grouper> i used ext4
[04:50] <psi-jack> What I'm looking for, is preferably easy maintenance, possibly web interface for it, and presently, not eBox.
[04:51] <gartral> vaio: sounds like the keymap is wrong (generic US 104 key, maybe?)
[04:51] <gartral> vaio: no need to swear, i understand the frustration, but you need too find a keymap that's for your specific system's keyboard
[04:51] <SnakDoc> vaio you can change brightness in the menus i have same pc or atleast a sony vaio
[04:51] <grouper> and i have disabled journaling via "sudo tune2fs /dev/sda1 -O ^has_journaling"
[04:51] <grouper> then reboot
[04:51] <psi-jack> grouper: THAT WAS VERY BAD!
[04:52] <vaio> sorry for swearing
[04:52] <vaio> :)
[04:52] <grouper> and it fails to boot giving me a "Gave up waiting for root device" error. then it drops me to busybox, from busybox if i try to mount /dev/sda1 / it says "couldn't mount because of unsupported optional features (240)."
[04:52] <grouper> what should i do?
[04:52] <vaio> yeh keymap maybe wrong
[04:52] <vaio> im from UK
[04:52] <grouper> psi-jack: any suggestions?
[04:52] <vaio> any ideas wot it may be
[04:52] <psi-jack> grouper: First of all, I suggest not using ext4, period.
[04:53] <fazz> action
[04:53] <psi-jack> grouper: It's still prone to failure. Secondly, if you want a good filesystem, try xfs, it works, period, simple. ;)
[04:53]  * fazz ?
[04:53] <fazz> set ?
[04:54] <FloodBot2> fazz: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:54] <grouper> i'm kinda upset that even in the netbook remix edition i don't have the option to format a partition as ext4 without jounaling from the GUI installer
[04:54] <Ben64> .......why would you want ext4 without journal
[04:54] <psi-jack> grouper: Dude.. Why in the world would you use ext3 or 4 WITHOUT journalling? That's pathetic.
[04:54] <vaio> snakedoc what menus?
[04:54] <jikuty> as an experiment, i'm planning on installing ubuntu9.04 using WUBI, and then going into the wubi install and rewriting ubuntu with another distro (like fedora, or opensuse, etc)... does anyone know if this is possible?
[04:54] <zackery> i wish itunes would work on ubuntu
[04:55] <gartral> grouper: well.. you have an apt name... i hope you have a backup somewhere.. you officially screwed your main partition sideways, for lack of a better term.. you need to reinstall
[04:56] <SnakDoc> vaio if you right click the battery icon it has preff its option in there
[04:56] <coreyman> Would someone that knows something about raid 1 arrays please message me.
[04:56] <mds58> can anyone help me to get gutenpy started I installed the .deb (sudo dpkg -i **.deb) but it wont run when selected in applications, this is very frustrating
[04:56] <stew> gartral: you can reverse the "sudo tune2fs /dev/sda1 -O ^has_journaling" with "sudo tune2fs -j /dev/sda1", you would not need to reinstall
[04:56] <vaio> snakedoc i dont have a battery icon?
[04:56] <grouper> psi-jack, because it's an SSD
[04:57] <psi-jack> grouper: So?
[04:57] <grouper> it was a clean install
[04:57] <grouper> no loss
[04:57] <pravin> how to use gtalk
[04:57] <pravin> ?
[04:57] <leaf-sheep> vaio: Google "ubuntu community, <your model>" -- You might find workarounds if there are any.
[04:57] <gartral> stew: why on EARTH are you telling me this?
[04:57] <stew> gartral: sorry it was menat for grouper
[04:57] <SnakDoc> vaio system > preferences > power management
[04:57] <pravin> anyone help
[04:57] <pravin> me to connect gtalk
[04:58] <stew> gartral: but in any case, there is no reason to tell him he has screwed his partition, since its reversable
[04:58] <gartral> stew: i did that too myself some time ago and everyone told me i had screwed up my system
[04:58] <grouper> thanks, i was actually looking for solutions where i can leave journaling turned off
[04:58] <stew> gartral: that's too bad
[04:58] <stew> grouper: just mount it as ext2
[04:59] <lstarnes> grouper: why does journaling need to be disabled?
[04:59] <grouper> look, i'm not really concerned with what you think i need to do
[04:59] <vaio_> snakedoc
[04:59] <grouper> i have an ssd
[04:59] <psi-jack> grouper: Well, you're plain stupid for trying, lemme say that much.
[04:59] <vaio_> i jus put a battery in now
[05:00] <vaio_> and dont get any settings to adjust brightness as such
[05:00] <stew> psi-jack: he's not, and there is really no need for that
[05:00] <grouper> and shutting journaling off in conjunction with noatime decreases the number of writes to my tiny slow-ass SSD
[05:00] <mds58> if someone is here that means that they have the intelect to at least try to make or break there system
[05:00] <psi-jack> You loose pretty much the entire value of ext3 AND ext4, by not using journalling.
[05:01] <SnakDoc> vaio_ its under display on mine
[05:01] <stew> yes, it turns it into ext2, which is exactly what he wants
[05:01] <psi-jack> Just because it's SSD, doesn't make it perfect. Journaling isn;t just for stability, but also is in for speed, somewhat, as well.
[05:01] <psi-jack> stew: NOT for ext4 it doesn't.
[05:01] <psi-jack> stew: ext4 is NOT backwards compatible.
[05:01] <stew> psi-jack: how does journaling increase speed?  i wasn't aware of that
[05:02] <grouper> psi-jack: apparently i'm stupid for coming in here and asking for help, i could have reversed what i did easily
[05:02] <psi-jack> stew: By journaling in front, it prevents fragmentation more readilly, for starters.
[05:02] <Ben64> journaling increases reliability
[05:02] <gartral> something's gone wonkey with my controlls.. my mouse is acting like the wheel is being constantly held down and spun, making my focus follow the mouse and scroll up on scrollable applications, and my keyboard thinks shift and plus are an F# combo...
[05:02] <mds58> puppy runs on ext2 and it is increadibly fast
[05:02] <psi-jack> stew: Did you know ext3, for example, is faster with FULL journalling enabled than it is with just metadata?
[05:02] <IdleOne> psi-jack and stew please argue this in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[05:02] <Ben64> grouper: you should just use ext2 and be done with it
[05:02] <psi-jack> IdleOne: It's not off topic, though.
[05:02] <johnf> is packages.ubuntu.com having issues? been down for the last few hours
[05:02] <IdleOne> psi-jack: I see it quickly becoming offtopic
[05:03] <gartral> psi-jack: arguments are allways OT, even if the topic of the argument isn on topic for the channel
[05:03] <psi-jack> Who's arguing?
[05:03] <psi-jack> I'm discussing Linux material, simple.
[05:04] <psi-jack> It's TURNED off topic, because IdleOne said to take it elsewhere, however. :p
[05:04] <gartral> psi-jack: i belive the disscussion has escalated into a debate
[05:04] <psi-jack> gartral: Noted. It's not. Thank you.
[05:04] <IdleOne> psi-jack: now your being a tool.
[05:04] <mds58> can anyone help me to get gutenpy started I installed the .deb (sudo dpkg -i **.deb) does this package need any dependancies the are not listed on there site
[05:05] <gartral> IdleOne: no street-speak, man
[05:05] <pianistbaby> guys, I'm trying to install ubuntu from USB stick. (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick). I tried this, but when I restarted, computer says non-system disk.
[05:05] <Ben64> pianistbaby: you make sure your bios is set to boot from usb?
[05:06] <mds58> pianistbaby do you have usb set as first boot device in bios
[05:06] <grouper> okay, can someone actually help me get ubuntu installed on an ext4 partition with journaling turned off... or shut journaling off after it's installed and have it still boot?
[05:06] <pianistbaby> Ben64: yes. it reads from USB, but i guess the files on usb are not set up properly by usb-creator
[05:06] <matthew_> can anyone tell me how to find out what sound card I am using
[05:06] <psi-jack> It's simple. ext3 and ext4 are similar, but ext4 added extents.. Cheap, method, but functional, and not nearly yet truely stable in actual world tests, so far. But journalling, helps prevent fragmentation when using full journalling, instead of just using ordered journalling, because then it all goes into one spot and then into the data in a stream.
[05:06] <pianistbaby> mds58: yes, usb is the boot device that computer reads from. I did change boot order
[05:06] <psi-jack> Just because you use SSD, doesn't make it not necessary.
[05:06] <psi-jack> That was my point.
[05:07] <br34l_> allright, i think thats it...my ubuntu froze 4 times in a row
[05:07] <pianistbaby> how do i format my usb drive?
[05:07] <mds58> pianistbaby: did you install grub onto the flash drive an togle it as bootable when in gparted
[05:08] <pianistbaby> mds58: i did not install anything on the usb aside from what usb-creator puts on it.
[05:08] <coreyman> Would someone that knows something about raid 1 arrays please message me.
[05:08] <mds58> can you check it with gparted an make sure that it is set a a boot partition that it greated
[05:09] <zruty> matthew_ > lspci tells you something
[05:09] <mds58> if the partition is not flagged as boot it may conflict with booting (experiance)
[05:09] <psi-jack> IdleOne: If it's being a tool to be very accurate, very thorough, and detailed, then that would be me, but since that's not the proper definition of being a tool, it's not the case. I will instruct someone the right information, not thinking of someone as a newbie, but as a tech wanting to learn more.
[05:09] <lilsnoop> anyone running jaunty on dell mini?
[05:10] <grouper> i take it that means that no one can help me
[05:10] <br34l__> and agian
[05:10] <IdleOne> psi-jack: You have demonstrated your superiority when it comes to Linux file systems. Congratulations!
[05:10] <psi-jack> grouper: Seriously.. I really want to know what you're logic is here.
[05:11] <mds58> grouper: sorry for the debate over your drive preferences if I knew more about ext4 I would gladly help you accomplish any goal the you seek
[05:11] <k3ks> hi, i've got a proplem
[05:11] <stew> grouper: what exactly do you need?
[05:11] <psi-jack> IdleOne: Nothing about superiority. Just facts.
[05:11] <talntid> Hi all
[05:11] <k3ks> i use ubuntu 9.04 and my touchpad doesn't work
[05:11] <IdleOne> psi-jack: ok cool.
[05:12] <IdleOne> !touchpad > k3ks
[05:13] <mds58> has anyone here tried to install gutenpy and has anyone succeeded?
[05:13] <grouper> i'm trying to turn journaling off on my ext4 filesystem
[05:14] <IdleOne> grouper: as much as I might hate to say this I think you need to talk to psi-jack because he does seem to know what he is talking about
[05:14] <grouper> i booted from USB and did "tune2fs /dev/sda1 -O ^has_journal" then rebooted but grub gives me an error "Gave up waitinf for root device"
[05:14] <unj> sudo dpkg--reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[05:14] <unj>
[05:14] <unj> is that not correct?
[05:14] <Ben64> grouper: please just use ext2
[05:15] <grouper> ben64: i'm getting ready to
[05:15] <IdleOne> unj: space after dpkg
[05:15] <[TOP]kangu> <--- newbie to ubuntu just downloaded it today.. had a few quick questions with gfx / audio / mouse configuration if anyone has the time could possibly msg me?
[05:15] <raylu> grouper: i've always made my filesystems manually and then told the installer what to put where
[05:15] <grouper> does noatime imply nodiratime?
[05:15] <raylu> grouper: i don't see why you have trouble setting specific filesystem options at install time
[05:16] <unj> IdleOne: nah...something else
[05:16] <psi-jack> grouper: Seriously. ext4 is /not/ backwards compatible to anything prior to ext4. extents makes that impossble with how the data structures are very very different.
[05:16] <IdleOne> unj: then I dont know
[05:16] <bastidrazor> unj,  just 1 - between dpkg-reconfigure
[05:16] <raylu> unj: dpkg-reconfigure
[05:17] <raylu> oh, he said it already =\
[05:17] <IdleOne> see I was right, I did not know
[05:17] <grouper> raylu: it's probably just because i don't know what i'm doing :P the GUI installer doesn't give an option to disable journaling... if i use mkfs.ext4 and disable it there it works just fine but then the installer forces it back on by formatting even when the format checkbox is empty
[05:17] <Ben64> grouper: what kernel version is it?
[05:17] <unj> thanks
[05:17] <SnakDoc> is there a fast way to make full system image ? that i could reinstall from ?
[05:17] <[TOP]kangu> anyone familiar with lunix / quake 3 / live configurations? =/
[05:17] <grouper> it's whatever comes with the 9.04 image
[05:18] <Ben64> hmmm
[05:18] <stew> grouper: if extents are enabled you can't disable them, if you have extents, you'll need to stick to ext4.  if you don't have extents enabled, you may be able to go back to ext2
[05:18] <IdleOne> grouper uname -a
[05:18] <Ben64> anyone using 9.04 can tell me what kernel you're running?
[05:18] <gartral> [TOP]kangu: quake3 playing client, or dedicated server?
[05:18] <mds58> grouper: I think that you might do well with trying to start with 8.04 then upgrade through to 9.04
[05:18] <erwin027> anyone able to make built in cardreader work/
[05:18] <[TOP]kangu> gartral playing client.
[05:19] <IdleOne> Ben64: <IP_ADDRESS>-generic
[05:19] <raylu> grouper: that was the behavior in 8.10 and previous. it didn't force me to do that for 9.10
[05:19] <mds58> I think I was able to stay with ext3 and ext2 file systems that way
[05:19] <Ben64> well thats the problem
[05:19] <Ben64> the ability to remove journal from ext4 doesn't make it into the kernel until 2.6.29
[05:19] <[TOP]kangu> i just installed ubuntu im completly new to this OS... but ive been doing some reading.. got some stuff.. dont know what i did last... but i believe i updated my vid card driver.. now when i try to load quake... its all choppy with no sound...
[05:20] <[TOP]kangu> now i have no audio... nor the game play is all choppy =/
[05:20] <laza_> Hi, i got a problem with port forward, I open a port in my router as it used to, but the port still closed, where
[05:20] <grouper> ben64: thank you, i believe that might be what the problem is
[05:20] <stew> grouper: do you have a livecd you can boot if your current install isn't bootable?  if so, the output of "tune2fs -l /dev/sda1" might help us asses exactly where you are at
[05:20] <grouper> yeah, i'm going to turn journaling back on with the live cd, update the kernel, then try to turn it back off
[05:20] <Ben64> grouper: so you can use ext2 until the 2.6.29 kernel comes out, upgrade to ext4
[05:20] <stew> grouper: if you have extents enabled, you can't go back
[05:20] <gartral> [TOP]kangu: what gfx card do you have?
[05:21] <SnakDoc> dd if=image.img of=/dev/sda would that work to make system image ?
[05:21] <raylu> stew: *assess, please =\
[05:21] <IdleOne> Ben64: or wait till karmic is released
[05:21] <laza_> where's the switches for ports, is there any program for it, i'm new with ubuntu pls help
[05:21] <maco> SnakDoc: that would overwrite your hard diskwith the .img
[05:21] <Ben64> SnakDoc: you should be very very very sure /dev/sda is where you want to write to
[05:22] <stew> grouper: http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions#Can_I_mount_existing_Ext3_as_Ext4.3F_And_vice_versa.3F_Similarly_from_Ext2_to_Ext4_and_its_reverse.3F
[05:22] <Irishmanluke> hai
[05:22] <SnakDoc> i did that in reverse then i am wanting to pull hd to image
[05:22] <Ben64> laza_: ubuntu doesn't filter any ports by default
[05:22] <stew> grouper: the important part being "Once you have enabled extents or created a journal on a former ext2 filesystem, it is an ext4 filesystem and cannot be reverted to ext2. "
[05:22] <laza_> Ben64, than why is it closed? :S
[05:22] <SnakDoc> dd if=/dev/sda of=image.img that look better
[05:22] <raylu> SnakDoc: if means input file... so i think your command is backwards
[05:22] <Ben64> closed just means not in use
[05:22] <Ben64> filtered = firewalled
[05:22] <raylu> SnakDoc: also, why are you doing this?
[05:23] <SnakDoc> raylu was wanting to make system image you know of better way this was just my idea
[05:23] <SnakDoc> raylu i had used dd command in past
[05:23] <raylu> SnakDoc: yes, but why do you want a system image? rsync is better for incremental backups, and you can choose to not back up certain sections
[05:24] <raylu> SnakDoc: there are also a ton of other backup tools for keeping smaller backup files by date
[05:24] <raylu> SnakDoc: dd should be a last resort for backing stuff up
[05:24] <madLyfe> is there like a way to recover ubuntu?
[05:24] <SnakDoc> raylu i am formatting cause i have to but would like to restore right back to as is
[05:24] <stew> SnakDoc: if it makes it easier to remember, you can skip dd and just use "cp /dev/sda /some/image.img" to make an image and "cp /some/image.img /dev/sda" to restore it
[05:24] <raylu> SnakDoc: then... why are you formatting?
[05:24] <madLyfe> i have done something with the graphics and now am unable to get a screen where i can login...
[05:24] <mds58> madLyfe: how broken is it
[05:25] <madLyfe> cant*
[05:25] <mds58> does it drop you off in a command prompt
[05:25] <Ben64> !pm | laza_
[05:25] <SnakDoc> raylu i am having hardware error if i can prove that error in windows laptop will be replaced
[05:25] <raylu> command prompt =\
[05:26] <madLyfe> i had installed mythbuntu on top of my ubuntu.. then installed the ati catalyst control center and when i rebooted the grapics are all messed up and i cant see anything..
[05:26] <raylu> SnakDoc: oh.
[05:26] <madLyfe> buncha lines across the screen..
[05:26] <raylu> SnakDoc: ok, go ahead.
[05:26] <Guest7633> http://paste.ubuntu.com/256683/
[05:26] <mds58> madLyfe: did you try ctrl+alt+bckspc
[05:26] <Guest7633> any idea
[05:26] <k3ks> Alexia: it works!
[05:26] <coreyman> Would someone that knows something about raid 1 arrays please message me.
[05:26] <mds58> I have gotten a few back that way
[05:27] <k3ks> Alexia: thank you very much!
[05:27] <SnakDoc> raylu laptop not showing battery or changing but just to keep it from being blamed on ubuntu when i take it back was going to install default image to it
[05:27] <maco> coreyman: if youre tyring to use RAID, you ahve to use the alternate cd, not the desktop/live cd, to install. the live cd has no RAID support
[05:27] <madLyfe> mds58: whats that do?
[05:27] <Guest7633> any idea
[05:27] <SnakDoc> raylu would it be bad for the partition to be mounted ?
[05:27] <madLyfe> and or when do i use those keys?
[05:27] <mds58> madLyfe: resstarts x-server
[05:28] <raylu> SnakDoc: partitions on the drive, you mean? yes
[05:28] <maco> madLyfe: on versions 8.10 or older. if using 9.04 youd have to explicitly enable that
[05:28] <SnakDoc> raylu nm found ans it would be bad need to use live image found this http://www.linuxweblog.com/blogs/sandip/20050211/image-your-hard-drive-using-dd
[05:28] <raylu> mds58, madLyfe: also, X isn't even running, so that's kinda pointless
[05:28] <coreyman> maco I'm not sure what i did wrong, I used the minimal install and went that way, I set up the raid 1 array, and my controller is telling me invalid raid... i am unable to boot into ubuntu, should i be using a different drive to boot and using the raid drives for storage only?
[05:29] <madLyfe> ya im on 9.04
[05:29] <madLyfe> i have my install disk but i didnt see any recovery options..
[05:29] <maco> coreyman: its possible that one's unsupported. ive never dealt with raid, i just know people trying to use the desktop cd are a common question
[05:29] <coreyman> maco thx
[05:30] <raylu> !raid
[05:30] <mds58> madLyfe: well you can get to a command prompt with ctrl+alt+f1 but I dont know the command to use to disable the video driver that is making the error
[05:30] <maco> coreyman: check google to see if your raid controller is known to work with ubuntu?
[05:30] <raylu> mds58: there is no such thing as a command prompt here =\
[05:30] <maco> madLyfe: if you want to restart X from cli in the f1 thing that mds58 said, type "sudo service gdm restart"
[05:31] <adrenaline> anybody know how to turn the annoying keyring off?
[05:31] <coreyman> maco operating systems have to support raid controllers? I figured that the controller did all the work
[05:31] <raylu> maco, madLyfe: since he just installed the radeon drivers, i'd recommend removing his xorg.conf
[05:31] <maco> coreyman: need the driver
[05:31] <mds58> raylu: sorry I still speak in dos occasionaly
[05:31] <laza_> http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/9454/ubuntuportproblem.png what am I doing wrong? please help
[05:31] <maco> coreyman: like i said, live cd cant talk to raid. it lacks raid drivers. the alternate usually can, but not necessarily all hardware works
[05:32] <madLyfe> well the ati drivers that installed worked fine.. it was when i was using the add programs thingy and i saw ati control center and that totally messed things up.. partly because i forgot ati doesnt even support this onboard card anymore..
[05:32] <Dragnslcr> coreyman- it depends on if you have a true hardware RAID controller or one of the fake controllers that actually do the work in software
[05:32] <madLyfe> really old mobility readon..
[05:32] <coreyman> dragnslcr I've been trying to figure it out.. I think it's one of the fake controllers.
[05:33] <Dragnslcr> coreyman- if you have a typical consumer motherboard that claims to have hardware RAID, it's probably not a true hardware controller
[05:34] <biovore> yeah.. if it wasn't $300 bucks +..  its probably a software controller..
[05:34] <coreyman> dragnslcr it's actually an old board that doesn't even have a controller, i plugged in a pci raid controller.
[05:34] <TheCheeze> speaking of raid... i have a spare 4-bay hotswap cage i am trying to sell if anyone is interested
[05:34] <sharperguy> Anyone know how I can produce a zero-width character?
[05:34] <mds58> madlyfe: you can use apt-get to remove it is you can remember the name of the ati package you installed
[05:35] <Guest7633> ERROR:  could not find gem activerecord-postgresql-adapter locally or in a repository
[05:35] <Dragnslcr> coreyman- that one might be a real hardware controller. What's the brand and model?
[05:35] <Guest7633> any idea
[05:35] <madLyfe> mds58: ya no idea what it was called.. i even tried to double tab to get anything ati.. and actually tried to remove all of the ati things but only got errors(packages not found or something, i cant remember)

[05:36] <Nitheesh> any ideas
[05:36] <HobbleAlong> coreyman: you're better off using software raid.  If your hardware controller fails you'll have to find an identical one or you won't be able to access you drives.

[05:44] <Zylstra555> Quick question: Best backup program for Ubuntu that supports FTP and encryption?
[05:44] <Psi-Jack__> Nitheesh: That's not for this channel to support Ruby on Rails. Try the proper channel.
[05:44] <raylu> grouper: http://lwn.net/Articles/245002/
[05:44] <ZzZ> any idea why it takes half 20 minutes to burn a dvd in jaunty?
[05:44] <raylu> Zylstra555: why ftp?
[05:45] <raylu> Zylstra555: ftp transmits passwords in cleartext, so...
[05:45] <Zylstra555> raylu: Because thats what I have available
[05:45] <leaf-sheep> !backup | Zylstra555
[05:45] <Zylstra555> raylu: Ah, but, if the data you are sending is encrypted in a different format, it won't make a difference
[05:45] <leaf-sheep> Zylstra555: Maybe rsync + external encrypted hard drive?
[05:45] <raylu> Zylstra555: what, does the account not have read access?
[05:46] <leaf-sheep> Zylstra555: Avoid FTP, use SFTP instead.
[05:46] <Zylstra555> FTP is fine
[05:46] <Zylstra555> the FTP server is on the local network
[05:46] <Zylstra555> and, SFTP is extremely slow
[05:46] <dragon_> bye
[05:46] <ZzZ> guys how long does it take you to burn a dvd in jaunty?
[05:46] <Ben64> ZzZ: depends on burner speed, hard drive speed, and other stuff
[05:46] <raylu> wrapster: why are you running dpkg-buildpackage on a .deb?
[05:47] <laza_> Error: I could not see your service on <IP_ADDRESS> on port (65500)
[05:47] <laza_> Reason: Connection refused do yo think my isp filter my ports?
[05:47] <raylu> Zylstra555: even if your data is encrypted, a user with the password can delete your files regardless
[05:47] <Zylstra555> raylu: unless I make it so they can't. But, its on the local network
[05:47] <Zylstra555> raylu: Its not an FTP system accessible by the outside
[05:47] <raylu> Zylstra555: and if security is not an issue because you're on a local network, why are you encrypting the data?
[05:47] <ZzZ> Ben64, my laptop is 1 year old, it came with vista, and used to burn dvds in under 3 minutes... just dont understand
[05:48] <Zylstra555> raylu: To prevent people from reading it
[05:48] <Irishmanluke> use scp
[05:48] <Ben64> ZzZ: increase burner speed in whatever program you're using to burn
[05:48] <HobbleAlong> ZzZ: depends on the speed and how much data.  Can be up to 40 minutes or so if your burner is slow (or speed set slow) to burn a full disk.
[05:48] <sharperguy> !ubuntu
[05:48] <Irishmanluke> HAHAHA
[05:49] <raylu> Zylstra555: ok. if the data is going to be backed up multiple times, consider running an rsync daemon. you're likely to get better speeds than sftp/scp
[05:49] <ZzZ> Ben64, I tried brasero, cd/dvd creator, now trying gnome baker... all the same duration somehow
[05:49] <Ben64> increase speed??????
[05:49] <Zylstra555> raylu: The backup goes to a Windows computer... I'm just not sure if I want to try getting Rsync to work with Windows
[05:49] <Ben64> also, i suggest k3b, very excellent burner
[05:49] <ZzZ> Ben64, yes, at 16
[05:49] <raylu> Zylstra555: oh, fun. i have no idea then, since i don't have any experience with backup tools. ubottu should have given you some links, though
[05:50] <ZzZ> k3b i havent tried yet.. probably should
[05:50] <Zylstra555> raylu: Looks like I found a solution, on the ubuntu backup page :)
[05:50] <soreau> ZzZ: gnome-backer, brasero and the other default gnome dvd burning software all ultimately end up using 'wodim'. Not sure what k3b does, but you could give it a try
[05:51] <ZzZ> soreau, wodim is what?
[05:51] <AvonGenesis> Can anyone help me with my gnome-panel? I can't solve this error: http://pastebin.com/m3968793a

[05:52] <leaf-sheep> AvonGenesis: Why are you starting gnome-panel in a terminal? o.o
[05:52] <ZzZ> soreau, :)
[05:52] <leaf-sheep> !info wodim | ZzZ
[05:52] <AvonGenesis> leaf-sheep: Well, it won't startup on boot, so I decided to start it through terminal.
[05:52] <soreau> ZzZ: Even more verbosity: man wodim
[05:53] <ZzZ> thanks guys
[05:53] <raylu> !resetpanel | AvonGenesis
[05:53] <leaf-sheep> AvonGenesis: Do "killall gnome-panel" in the terminal.  Ubuntu should restart gnome-panel automatically.  Otheruse, try ALT+F2 and type in that instead.

[06:10] <[TOP]kangu> anyone have any ideas why i have no audio?
[06:10] <soreau> Whitt: That's a mess. You're specifying to completely different drivers. Pastebin the X log
[06:11] <optimus> want an image of ubuntu 9.04 to burn
[06:11] <soreau> ! download

[06:14] <frpaul> whats so bad about ubuntu? why other linux users hate it?
[06:14] <goofykinky> hi guys I was wondering how expensive is if someone charge for the service of installing Mail Server / DNS on Ubuntu Server?
[06:15] <wrapster> raylu: Sorry for the late response
[06:15] <soreau> Whitt: The only thing I see is (--) fglrx(0): Virtual size is 2560x1024 You should make your total resolutions of your monitors higher than that
[06:15] <wrapster> raylu: what I did was actually specified on one of links i read...I mean may be I might have misread it
[06:15] <wrapster> as well
[06:15] <soreau> Whitt: Errr.... Shouldn't*
[06:16] <[TOP]kangu> i had a friend give me some commands to put in /etc/X11/xorg.congf but i believe it has messed up my GFX and as well as my sound .. im a new user to ubuntu
[06:16] <[TOP]kangu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/256693/
[06:16] <wrapster> raylu: can you tell me what needs to be done?
[06:16] <raylu> wrapster: generally, dpkg -i filename.deb
[06:17] <wrapster> raylu: that will install..
[06:17] <raylu> wrapster: wait, what are you trying to do?
[06:17] <phill> I'm having trouble getting my touchpad to be seen in linux. I'm also having trouble with my laptops screen only setting the brightness from 0 to 1. (Only two levels of brightness sucks) Dim and more dim.
[06:17] <wrapster> raylu<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:17] <wrapster> raylu: have a look at it... Thats what I want
[06:17] <Whitt> soreau: thats odd, I've got both screens set at 1024x768
[06:18] <raylu> wrapster: no idea, sorry
[06:19] <wrapster> raylu: thats ok.
[06:19] <soreau> Whitt: That may be the problem. You should add a Virtual line increasing it to at least 2560x2048. Are you having desktop effects starting as well or does this happen at the login screen?
[06:21] <Whitt> I've been trying to configure it with Aticonfig, and it happens once I press enter on sudo aticonfig --enable-monitor=crt1,tv
[06:22] <Whitt> if I restart the PC, it works fine at the login screen and then reverts to cloned screens at the desktop
[06:22] <soreau> Whitt: When does the corruption first happen?
[06:24] <gartral> [TOP]kangu:
[06:24] <beach> aaaa
[06:24] <gartral> [TOP]kangu: still around friend, that took longer than expected
[06:27] <lsdeviant> is this channel filled with bots
[06:27] <lsdeviant> i need someone to chat with i'm lonely
[06:27] <Whitt_> soreau: I just tried it, it corrupts when I try to run sudo aticonfig --enable-monitor
[06:27] <Whitt_> I can restart gdm and it recovers fine
[06:27] <Whitt_> when I get into the desktop I have two displays that are a clone
[06:27] <Whitt_> at hte login screen I have one big display that works
[06:29] <myf> Does anyone have the same problem? ever since i updated my kernel to 2.6.28-15, my flash videos would freeze after 10 second
[06:29] <soreau> Whitt_: You have a few different options. Easiest would be to test with both at 640x480 to see if it's a resolution problem. The reality is that fglrx no longer supports you card but the open ati driver does. Try turning off desktop effects
[06:29] <soreau> whitt: ^^
[06:30] <lsdeviant> stand by me
[06:30] <lsdeviant> please stand by me
[06:30] <soreau> whitt: If 'fglrxinfo' talks about ati and not mesa, the fglrx driver should already be working ok
[06:30] <soreau> whitt: Or rather, at least be installed ok
[06:31] <ikonia> lsdeviant: this is a support channel for ubuntu, please keep the singing out
[06:31] <lsdeviant> :D hey.  support needs all the love it can get.
[06:32] <ikonia> lsdeviant: ask a support question and wait for an answer then, this is not a chat channel
[06:32]  * lsdeviant hugs support
[06:32] <lsdeviant> shut up ikonia

[06:34] <dibblego> why do I occasionally have a dialog window pop up to tell me about available updates? how do I turn it off?
[06:34] <myf> Does anyone have the same problem? ever since i updated my kernel to 2.6.28-15, my flash videos would freeze after 10 second
[06:34] <jdb> dibblego: why do you want to turn it off? it's a good idea to update your computer
[06:34] <faith> clarinet: Hi
[06:35] <clarinet> faith: hi.
[06:35] <dibblego> jdb, because I don't want to have a window open ever hour or so to tell me
[06:35] <clarinet> faith: very well.
[06:35] <dibblego> s/ever/every
[06:35] <faith> this is my first time to use this software

[06:36] <optimus> i have already install ubuntu, and that cd is lost, i want an setup so i can install it on another pc, do i have to download, or i can somehow extract it from already installed version?
[06:36] <faith> this is my first time to use this software
[06:36] <soreau> ;)
[06:36] <xim_> can i run regualr ubuntu on my 64 bit pc if im too lazy to redownload the 64 bit version (atleast till karma comes out?)
[06:36] <eminor> oops, dibblego
[06:36] <soreau> faith: Did you have a question about ubuntu?
[06:36] <eminor> xim_, yes
[06:36] <faith> clarinet:
[06:36] <dibblego> ta
[06:36] <faith> clarinet: what is ubuntu?
[06:37] <di||itante> optimus: better off to just DL it again
[06:37] <Cbet> hello all, don't mean to interrupt but have quick question....maybe.
[06:37] <soreau> ! wiki | faith
[06:37] <HobbleAlong> xim_: no problem
[06:37] <Cbet> can i install ubuntu on a new system as my only OS
[06:37] <xim_> lol but i want to reinstall quick so i can watch a movie since alpha karma crapped out my sound
[06:37] <faith> any one call me?
[06:38] <xim_> cbet: of course
[06:38] <soreau> Cbet: Yes
[06:39] <Cbet> so i just download ubuntu, burn to cd, finish my build and bios my boot to the dvd drive and pop in my ubuntu cd?
[06:39] <HobbleAlong> xim_: I'd settle for that.  Wouldn't even install on the box I tried it on.
[06:40] <soreau> Cbet: You mean building your machine? Then yes, sounds right
[06:41] <xim_> HobbleAlong, karmic alpha you mean?  ive been using it since the 4th, (i know cause i got the daily build) and it has been slowly rotting and decaying into a filthy stinking mess
[06:41] <xim_> ;p
[06:41] <losher> Cbet: yep, that's pretty much it. Don't forget to burn the iso in image mode. If it's your first time with Ubuntu, I recommend 8.04 LTS, as it's the most stable.
[06:42] <[deXter]> Does the Ubuntu have laptop-friendly features like hotkeys for changing LCD brightness, battery care, CPU throttling, and good power management schemes?
[06:42] <ikonia> [deXter]: it sure does
[06:42] <ikonia> [deXter]: not supported on all laptops though,
[06:42] <[deXter]> ikonia, is there a list of supported laptops+features?
[06:42] <HobbleAlong> xim_: yes, Alpha 4.  In 11 tries never got through the fomat ext3 or ext4.
[06:42] <ikonia> [deXter]: not specifcally as that would change every day/week as laptops come out
[06:43] <[deXter]> Hmm, fair enough.
[06:43] <ikonia> [deXter]: most "main" brand laptops/hardware will have support
[06:43] <[deXter]> I'm on a Sony VAIO
[06:43] <[deXter]> near about an year old
[06:43] <xim_> HobbleAlong, lol im sure itll be good on release tho
[06:43] <ikonia> [deXter]: they do thinks different (typical sony) but I'd put a small bet on that you'd be fine
[06:44] <losher> [deXter]: just google sony vaio ubuntu & see what people say
[06:44] <ikonia> HobbleAlong: xim_ 9.10 support is in #ubuntu+1
[06:44] <[deXter]> I'm a bit skeptical, because I've tried Windows 7 on this laptop and it couldn't find the drivers for the power management features
[06:45] <Cbet> thank you, is there any other resources i could check out?
[06:45] <HobbleAlong> xim_: Always seems to make it.
[06:46] <ikonia> [deXter]: windows 7 has nothing to do with anything, don't use it as a bench mark
[06:46] <HobbleAlong> xim_: thanks for that
[06:47] <xim_> lol@ikonia
[06:47] <ikonia> ?
[06:48] <phishie> lol
[06:48] <ikonia> ?
[06:48] <xim_> funny and true
[06:48] <ikonia> what is ?
[06:49] <losher> Cbet: if you're used to windows, one approach is to run windows and then install ubuntu into vmware or virtualbox. That way you can get a feel for ubuntu without having to commit totally to it...
[06:49] <phishie> that win 7 thingy
[06:49] <Andorin> I downloaded gnash from the GNU site and I'm trying to install. I've not got much experience with compiling and installing from source, and when I run ./configure, part of the output is this: http://pastebin.com/m46cd25ae What I'm wondering is, do I have to install all of those in order to install gnash, and is there a way to do it all at once, or must I do them all at once?
[06:50] <Andorin> Er, must I do them one at a time?
[06:50] <losher> Andorin: I hear disappointing reports about gnash i.e. it's not ready for prime time. I wouldn't waste time on it yet..
[06:51] <Andorin> I see. I was hoping to have a free alternative to Adobe Flash. =x
[06:51] <Paraj> I'm getting a "Fatal: raid_setup: stat("/dev/sdh")" when I update a fresh install of 9.04, happens for linux-restricted-modules with LILO
[06:51] <xim_> cbet, just dive in, its not hard, id say ubuntu is as easy as macintosh, then when you have a malfunction, come here and ask about it and you will learn
[06:51] <Paraj> xim_: Assuming you get your problem solved that is
[06:51] <losher> Andorin: eventually you will. Just not yet...
[06:51] <freeflowcauvery> Andorin, but to answer your more general question of installing dependencies one at a time, yes....unless you opt to install from *verse repositories
[06:52] <soreau> Andorin: Yes, you would need development packages installed to provide the headers necessary for compilation. Or, you could just install gnash from ubuntu repos
[06:52] <Andorin> I can install it from repos? Note to self: Stop forgetting about the fact that you have a hugely convenient set of repositories that you can check...
[06:53] <xim_> Andorin, (i still think of flash being macromedia, adobe flash sounds strange) why are you not installing through a package manager?
[06:53] <Andorin> It was never this easy in Windows, which is what I used for years before switching.
[06:53] <[deXter]> Andorin, Ditch flash already. Switch to HTML5.
[06:53] <Andorin> xim_: Because I forget about the repos? ^^;
[06:54] <xim_> Andorin, yeah always goto synaptic first to install anything, for flash theres a free and nonfree version, ive had trouble with both tho honestly, flash is one o the things linux has yet to get its act together with IMO
[06:54] <d0wn> hi, i'm a little confused. to be able to have a partition bootable by the computer, does it have to have the boot flag on the partition?
[06:54] <Andorin> xim_: I've actually not had many problems with Flash in Linux. I haven't tried the free version, though.
[06:55] <soreau> d0wn: You should also have a working bootable kernel installed on it
[06:56] <xim_> Andorin, maybe that waas my problem, but npviewer.bin is a major memory hog and sometimes goes rogue or crashes or you will get a blank grey box instead of the intended flash 1/10 times i thought with both versions but maybe it was just the free one
[06:56] <d0wn> soreau: so if i have a seperate partition for /boot/, should that one be the only one with the boot flag?
[06:56] <Mike_lifeguard> How can I get dpkg to reconfigure a package? I don't see the option in the man page :\
[06:56] <Andorin> xim_: Perhaps I ought to wait around until gnash is more dependable?
[06:56] <HobbleAlong> d0wn: strangely no it doesn't need to be set.  In fact I have an Ubuntu server admin book that says not to set it???
[06:56] <soreau> d0wn: I would assume, but not entirely sure. Try it!
[06:57] <leaf-sheep> Mike_lifeguard: Look harder. I see it in the manpage. :)
[06:58] <xim_> Andorin, i had never heard of gnash but you gotta have a flash player or your internets will suxxcks, id just go with the nonfree mozilla plugin
[06:58] <xim_> Andorin, it still works 9/10 times
[06:58] <d0wn> oh goodness :[ i've done it now :[ i messed up my windows truecrypt
[06:58] <Andorin> xim_: I do have the nonfree. I was simply interested in converting to the free version, provided that it's good enough.
[06:58] <d0wn> rescue disk ftw
[06:58] <losher> Andorin: It could take years before gnash works properly. And flash caused a lot of problems for many people in 9.04. In 8.04 it just works...
[06:59] <Andorin> losher: Odd, because I run 9.04 and I can't think of any outstanding problems I've had with it.
[06:59] <Mike_lifeguard> leaf-sheep: if you use --configure will that work?
[06:59] <losher> Mike_lifeguard: dpkg-reconfigure
[06:59] <xim_> Andorin, ahic well try it and see worst case you go back to nonfree, my flash problems were with 8.10 which i just upgraded from
[06:59] <Andorin> xim_: If I install it will it conflict with the Adobe plugin? Should I remove it?
[06:59] <Mike_lifeguard> lovely, thanks
[07:00] <losher> Andorin: no need to take my word for it, check the #ubuntu archives since 9.04 came out...
[07:00] <leaf-sheep> Mike_lifeguard: Yes. "Reconfigure an unpacked package. If -a  o  --pending is given instead of package, all unpacked but unconfigured packages are configured."
[07:00] <d0wn> anyways, i forgot to thank both soreau and HobbleAlong for your help. thanks!
[07:01] <charles> hola
[07:02] <Paraj> I'm having dpkg problems
[07:03] <xim_> why is 8.04 maintanined until 2011 but 9.04 is only maintained until 2010?
[07:03] <Belding> because 8.04 is a long term release
[07:04] <xim_> Andorin, id only install one at a time, just so you know where any problems are coming from
[07:04] <Andorin> xim_: Alright, thanks.
[07:04] <vicmmuran> hello somebody can help me with the webcam 110 genius installation   in ubuntu 9.04
[07:04] <xim_> np
[07:04] <ActionParsnip> !lts | xim
[07:05] <qwm> so ubuntu has skeletons in the closet eh.
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> vicmmuran: can you please provide a pastebin of: lsusb
[07:05] <ActionParsnip> qwm: can you expand on that?
[07:06] <xim_> qwm: yeah....once.....it killed a guy
[07:06] <Paraj> I'm getting a "Fatal: raid_setup: stat("/dev/sdh")" when I update a fresh install of 9.04, happens for linux-restricted-modules with LILO
[07:06] <qwm> ActionParsnip: take a look in /etc/init.d
[07:06] <qwm> eery.
[07:06] <ActionParsnip> qwm: i can't all my *nix boxes are in boxes
[07:07] <qwm> that's ironic.
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> qwm: how?
[07:07] <qwm> boxes in boxes.
[07:07] <xim_> no thats a coincidence
[07:07] <ActionParsnip> qwm: yeah, that happens a lot. its not ironic at all
[07:07] <xim_> irony is when something normally would be one way and instead its another
[07:07] <caveman27> does anybody know where I can find libgmp.so.3, I need it for a game to work and cant find the file for download anywere, im using ubuntu 8.10 64bit but need libgmp.so.3 in 32bit for targetware.. where can i download this file?
[07:08] <qwm> ok, it's just a little funny
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> qwm: i bet you are an american
[07:08] <qwm> how much?
[07:08] <qwm> :p
[07:08] <soreau> What is ironic is he's provided support for that which he is not running :)
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> caveman27: sudo apt-get install apt-file; sudo apt-file update; sudo apt-file find libgmp.so.3
[07:08] <ActionParsnip> qwm: enough

[07:09] <qwm> i'm swedish
[07:09] <caliente> hey fellas, i have a wireless question if anyone can help
[07:09] <ActionParsnip> qwm: just like all that stuff in Ironic by Alannis Morisette isnt ironic either

[07:09] <KB1JWQ> qwm: Install da lee-nux, bork bork bork. :-D
[07:10]  * KB1JWQ knows next to nothing about Sweden besides the swedish chef on sesame street.
[07:10] <soreau> caveman27: You probably need to install libgmp3c2
[07:10]  * qwm eyes KB1JWQ suspiciously
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | caliente
[07:10] <qwm> KB1JWQ: i know next to nothing about that chef.
[07:10] <qwm> :p
[07:10] <LSD|Ninja> Scrapping the broadcom wireless card was probably the best thing I ever did to my sisters laptop
[07:10] <Paraj> Who here has been using (or attempting to use) Ubuntu since 5.10?
[07:10] <Dextorion> morning

[07:11] <KB1JWQ> Sorry. :)
[07:11] <qwm> Myrtti: where do you discuss skeletons?
[07:11] <soreau> ! ot | qwm
[07:11] <ActionParsnip> LSD|Ninja: i refuse to buy systems with them in or aapters based on them
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> qwm: try #skeletons
[07:12] <Paraj> Where is the channel which actually does support? :P
[07:12] <qwm> soreau: merci beaucoup chéri
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> !support
[07:12] <Paraj> Really, could have fooled me :P
[07:13] <qwm> shouldn't it say "this #ubuntu"
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> Paraj: thats because you are easily fooled
[07:13] <qwm> every #ubuntu can't be official
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> qwm: irc channels must be unique
[07:14] <Lolikon> Okay, hi. So I have a headset (with a mic that does not work), and a webcam that I use as a mic. When I do not have the webcam plugged in, my audio works fine, ie youtube videos load correctly. Now if I plug in the webcam, youtube videos no longer work. In alsamixer, all it says is Card: USB20 Camera ... I can not get back to the other device, which is named USB too. Here is a screenshot of the settings that work perfectly in Mumble; is ther
[07:14] <Lolikon> e a way I can make them operate like that globally? I would be pleased if that is possible. http://i25.tinypic.com/28i9rbn.png ..... thank you in advance!
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> qwm: you can have #ubuntu on another irc server but the one which is on freenode is the official one
[07:15] <d0wn> hi, I was trying to install flashplugin-installer, and I had to kill the dpkg process because I lost wifi, and it froze while downloading. so i had to kill the dpkg process, and now I cannot install it. it says it is already installed, which it isnt
[07:16] <kismet> hey there
[07:16] <kismet> is it possible to scroll horizontal with multitouch
[07:16] <kismet> in ubuntu 9.04
[07:16] <soreau> d0wn: Why not install flashplugin-nonfree?
[07:16] <d0wn> soreau: what is the difference?
[07:17] <leaf-sheep> kismet: Check Mouse Preferences.
[07:17] <luis_> hello
[07:17] <kismet> leaf-sheep: i will thanks
[07:17] <soreau> d0wn: That's a good question. Why are you trying to install flashplugin-installer?
[07:17] <luis_> hola
[07:17] <luis_> this channel is in spanish?
[07:18] <Lolikon> no
[07:18] <Lolikon> #ubuntu-es
[07:18] <soreau> ! es | luis_
[07:18] <luis_> hola
[07:18] <kismet> leaf-sheep: do i have to restart

[07:18] <Lolikon> luis_, ^
[07:18] <soreau> luis_ /j #ubuntu-es
[07:18] <d0wn> soreau: I did it directly from Firefox when it detected a needed plugin. it was the only adobe option. nevermind though, flashplugin-nonfree worked :]
[07:19] <majuk> Anyone care to take a swing at where I can find more information for this warning I'm seeing in syslog? "Aug 21 00:18:21 slicktop NetworkManager: <WARN>  check_one_route(): (eth1) error -34 returned from rtnl_route_del(): Sucess"
[07:19] <xim_> anyone know why brasero would not detect a blank disc in the drive even tho ubuntu does and puts a blank cd icon on the desktop?
[07:19] <leaf-sheep> kismet: I don't think so. I just know it is there when I edited my mouse preference once upon a time.
[07:19] <dfgas> how do i make file sort by name? like a usb drive that doesn't sort my abc
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> d0wn: sudo apt-get --reinstall install flashplugin-installer
[07:20] <Paraj> Is it just me of is http://www.ubuntu.com/support/paid down ?
[07:20] <Paraj> or is*
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> Paraj: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com
[07:21] <ActionParsnip> Paraj: you need never ask again
[07:21] <jerry1> my name is llf
[07:21] <jerry1> LLF
[07:21] <vitek_> ?can i set terminal as a log viewer? something like console on macs?
[07:22] <Lolikon> `nano /path/to/logs
[07:22] <Loafers> I wanted to play quicktime videos in browser so I installed "ubuntu-restricted-extras" and it still doesn't play quicktime  and now it has my fonts all messed up.  So I uninstalled/purged it and the fonts are still screwy... How do I fix this?
[07:22] <Paraj> So it is down, I'll use the Google cache
[07:22] <Myrtti> vitek_: watch /path/to/log
[07:22] <majuk> vitek_: You can monitor files, such as longs, with tail -f /path/to/file. It'll keep montioring that file and output any changes
[07:22] <vitek_> thanks guys
[07:22] <Mez> Myrtti: watch will try and run a command ...
[07:23] <Myrtti> Mez: hm, true
[07:23] <Mez> Myrtti: I think you mean tail -f /path/to/log?
[07:23] <majuk> Yea he does.
[07:23] <majuk> ;)
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> Paraj: whack it in your favourites and you are set for life
[07:23] <Myrtti> majuk: who?
[07:23] <Mez> majuk: Myrtti is a she. (well, either that, or has a really good plastic surgeon!)
[07:23] <vitek_> the thing is, i need to monitor realtime operations something like when you start a program from a terminal, but altogether and timestamped.
[07:24] <Paraj> Paraj: With the number of reinstall I do it won't last long
[07:24] <Myrtti> I blame on the fact of being without coffee for a week due to doctors orders... (and yesyes, I know it's better suited for #ubuntu-offtopic)
[07:24] <majuk> Mez, Myrtti: Sorry my psychic powers failed me.
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> Paraj: then put /home on a sperate partition
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> Paraj: or have a backup copy of ~/.mozilla before reinstall
[07:25] <Paraj> ActionParsnip: I knew you'd say that, means nothing I can't get the damn OS working
[07:25] <majuk> vitek_: Are you saying tail -f is not what you want?
[07:25] <Paraj> if*
[07:25] <kismet> hmm still not working my scrolling with multitouch
[07:25] <darlek> anyone bother with antivirus on Ubuntu?  I have AVG on my winXP partition but haven't thought about adding any on Ubuntu
[07:25]  * Mez hugs Myrtti. Allowed tea?
[07:26] <soreau> ! virus | darlek
[07:26] <leaf-sheep> darlek: Anti-Virus is optional in the world of *nix.
[07:26] <vitek_> havent tried yet, got here a nice desktop mess to deal with first :)
[07:26] <darlek> thought so, thanks both soreau leaf-sheep
[07:26] <kismet> dose anyone know how the horizontal scroll with multitouch works
[07:27] <Mez> darlek: I run nightly scans wth clamav. But thats just to make sure I dont get viruses downloaded. They'd probably not run if I tried them, but I could potentially send them to other people. Plus, I have to, for PCI compliance .:(
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> Paraj: well keep punching till you work it out, if you use advanced partitioning you canspecify partition sizes, you need a swap partition a / partition and a /home partition, make / about 10Gb and use the rest for /home, when you reinstall, simply tell the installer the format the / partition and tell it to mount the largest partition as /home
[07:27] <majuk> vitek_: Well try it, that's what you're looking for I'm pretty sure. You can even monitor multiple log files in the same terminal with &.
[07:27] <TheCheeze> if you are insanely paranoid, bitdefender has a free distro for linux
[07:27] <Um_cara_qualquer> how i remove a partition from this same HD?
[07:27] <vitek_> yeah it works, thanks :) very helpful.
[07:27] <Paraj> ActionParsnip: That's not the problem, my problems all relate after installation like the one I'm having now with updating the assorted linux-restricted-module
[07:27] <darlek> Mez, ah i see, so it's good to have to scan from linux at windows or at files I might send
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> Um_cara_qualquer: i'd do it in a livecd environment
[07:28] <Mez> darlek: yup. Espescially if you handle Credit Card info.
[07:28] <Um_cara_qualquer> how
[07:28] <darlek> Mez, good reason!
[07:28] <majuk> Um_cara_qualquer: gparted
[07:29] <darlek> TheCheeze, had not heard of that one, I don't think I need anything crazy huge
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> Um_cara_qualquer: boot to your install CD like you did when you installed, you can then use gparted to delete whatever partition you like (WARNING: The data will be destroyed when you do so tread VERY carefully)
[07:29] <Mez> darlek: not a good reason. A neccesary reason.  Bad media will make a bad install
[07:31] <GungaDin> is there a root password in Ubuntu?
[07:31] <GungaDin> is it possible to log in as root?
[07:31] <Paraj> ActionParsnip: Media is fine
[07:31] <darlek> GungaDin, no, check out sudo
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> Paraj: ok thats cool
[07:31] <Lolikon> Okay, hi. So I have a headset (with a mic that does not work), and a webcam that I use as a mic. When I do not have the webcam plugged in, my audio works fine, ie youtube videos load correctly. Now if I plug in the webcam, youtube videos no longer work. In alsamixer, all it says is Card: USB20 Camera ... I can not get back to the other device, which is named USB too. Here is a screenshot of the settings that work perfectly in Mumble; is ther
[07:31] <Lolikon> e a way I can make them operate like that globally? I would be pleased if that is possible. http://i25.tinypic.com/28i9rbn.png ..... thank you in advance!
[07:31] <GungaDin> darlek - what if I messed up sudoers?
[07:31] <Paraj> ActionParsnip: I get a "Fatal: raid_setup: stat("/dev/sdh")" error during update for linux-restricted-module s. I'm using LILO
[07:31] <Mez> darlek: *shrugs* I just know what I know because of work.
[07:31] <GungaDin> I can't sudo anything
[07:31] <leaf-sheep> darlek: Knowingly send out infected files to your Windows buddies and listen to the sound of them whining as they hose down their machines.  It's their fault for running Windows especially when they don't update and maintain their AntiVirus software. :)
[07:31] <darlek> !sudo | GungaDin
[07:32] <Paraj> And if one more person tells me to use Grub....
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> GungaDin: boot to root recovery console and fix it
[07:32] <jerry1> how to rename system subarea
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> Paraj: i find lilo more flexible
[07:32] <jerry1> for help
[07:32] <johnf> anyone know what's up with packages.ubuntu.com
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> Paraj: but i only single boot linux so a fancy bootloader is wasted on me
[07:32] <GungaDin> darlek - I actually installed andLinux, and I dont' knwo if it has this option :(
[07:33] <darlek> leaf-sheep, haha.. tempting
[07:33] <leaf-sheep> johnf: Try a different mirror.
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> GungaDin: if its not an official release its not supported here
[07:33] <Paraj> ActionParsnip: This is a single boot also, at first I thought it was because my /boot partition was too small (As shown in a few bugs in launchpad) but that's not the case
[07:33] <GungaDin> ok
[07:33] <GungaDin> thx
[07:33] <darlek> GungaDin, yep it's unnecessary as noted about in the ubottu post.  Follow the link there for more info if you need it
[07:33] <johnf> leaf-sheep: the web interfaces has mirrors?

[07:34] <Fire^fox> question: my mediacenter is blocked when firestarter is on how can i find the address  or port ?
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> wiggywo0t: sudo lshw -C network | grep -i driver
[07:34] <darlek> wiggywo0t, lsmod or lshw
[07:34] <leaf-sheep> johnf: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ is down. If you're trying to find something, use terminal or synpathetic instead.
[07:34] <wiggywo0t> ty guys let me try that now
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> wiggywo0t: if you want more info, omit the pipe and grep
[07:35] <johnf> leaf-sheep: trying to work out what versions of a particular package exist in intrepid. I probably have an intrepid box somewhere I guess I'll use that
[07:35] <leaf-sheep> johnf: What package?
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> johnf: ask ubottu
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> johnf: she knows all

[07:36] <darlek> johnf : info about all packages on the system or about a particular package?

[07:42] <m0r0n> timClicks:  No clue...
[07:43] <rackaraka> if anybody can help. it is greatly appreciated
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> wiggywo0t: install the backport modules may help, or you can compile the driver from ralink
[07:44] <wiggywo0t> im trying to install rt73 drivers.... its my understanding those are the best drivers?

[07:46] <Steevo> Problem with setting up partitions and software raid - it's giving me errors when I set it up, and when I restart there's a raid device that I can't remove or modify.
[07:47] <rackaraka> Steevo, i don't have any experience with raid.
[07:47] <Steevo> I had a fedora installation on there, which turned out to be a nightmare so decided to change to ubuntu server... problem was fedora supported raid 6 and ubuntu 8 doesn't, I think that's where my problems come in.
[07:47] <rackaraka> Steevo, do you need the raid though? if it is disabled, does the installation go through?
[07:48] <Steevo> Yes I do, to get it setup without it would not perform the function that is required.

[07:59] <Achmed> apt-get remove package-name
[07:59] <timClicks> Kartagis: sudo apt-get remove package
[07:59] <Achmed> afterwards, probably apt-get autoremove
[07:59] <rackaraka> madLyfe, as ActionParsnip was saying earlier. maybe use smbmount? does the file have the right permissions? maybe there needs to be a chmod?

[08:04] <ActionParsnip> madLyfe: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba
[08:04] <myf> it will load up to 10 seconds or so then stopped moving. it's not lagging but rather not loading
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> madLyfe: if you use that file you can add this line in /etc/fstab and it will mount at boot: //server/share   /mnt/data   smbfs   credentials=/etc/samba/user,rw,uid=bob   0   0
[08:05] <ActionParsnip> madLyfe: obv, change bob for your users name

[08:10] <boingboingbongg> doesnt come with a manual or a cd.. costs like 40 $
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> boingboingbongg: i suggest you reset the router to factory defaults after making a note of any settings you may need
[08:10] <Paraj> ubuntu site has been on and off for me for the last hour or so
[08:10] <madLyfe> what would i set the /mountdirectory to?

[08:10] <gogeta1> epic win for me
[08:10] <di||itante> boingboingbongg: why are you not using the one from your provider
[08:10] <ActionParsnip> madLyfe: wherever you want the sare to be accessible from, make a folder someplace and use that to mount to, do not use spaces i the name, makes life easier
[08:11] <boingboingbongg> its the one from my provider
[08:11] <boingboingbongg> can you suggest some good and cheap adsl router?

[08:11] <boingboingbongg> this is india .. nothing will happen if i complain . and the router is probably billed to my adddress by now
[08:11] <madLyfe> uhhh.. what would be a good place off the top of your head? why cant i just access it through places>network?
[08:11] <bazhang> boingboingbongg, better to ask in ##hardware
[08:11] <ActionParsnip> boingboingbongg: there will most likely be a tiny hole in the back that you can jam a pen into for 5 seconds to default it, i'd call them first
[08:12] <gogeta> boingboingbongg: if it not broke dont fix it
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> boingboingbongg: if there is an account in the router, you may want to access it via a wire to get your account details from it
[08:12] <ActionParsnip> madLyfe: there is no good place really, just not in /proc
[08:12] <boingboingbongg> thats the weird thing .. this router doesnt have the pin to reset it tod default.. it doesnt show the advanced settings until i go to <IP_ADDRESS>/main.html.. without main.html it shows just basic setings
[08:12] <boingboingbongg> i am connected via the wire to the router
[08:12] <di||itante> boingboingbongg: oh, ok. I dont really know of any good DSL routers. Never really used them much, but we have a Seimans at work and one of them ran for 9 years straight
[08:12] <gogeta> boingboingbongg: they all have reset pins
[08:13] <boingboingbongg> well this one doesnt
[08:13] <ActionParsnip> madLyfe: something like /media/smb is usual. You really can mount it anywhere you like, you can even make a folder in your home directory if you like
[08:13] <boingboingbongg> i am connected to it via a wired connection.. the router page says wireless is enabled.. the lighrs are all on

[08:14] <madLyfe> does the m have to be caps if it is in ubuntu?

[08:14] <boingboingbongg> wireless it turned on
[08:14] <Kartagis> timClicks, when I attempt to change the driver, should I select the option whole new PPD or transfer from the old PPD?

[08:16] <boingboingbongg> then it started to work after rebooting couple of times
[08:16] <fotoflo> di||itante: i need something that will just work with a firefox plugin: enter an ip address and l/p and it just works... thats why i need a socks proxy
[08:16] <boingboingbongg> now it doesnt work at all
[08:16] <smogattack> marines, should I uninstall it?
[08:17] <di||itante> fotoflo: Your prolly looking for squid. Its pretty much the defacto proxie server.
[08:17] <marines> smogattack: yeah, then install "esound" and change settings every application to use ALSA instead of Pulse Audio
[08:17] <marines> this works for me
[08:18] <Gnea> marines, smogattack: this is not a good idea
[08:18] <ActionParsnip> boingboingbongg: if you have usernames and passwords in the device for your account, copy them down. I'd call your provider as this falls on them to support you as they provided the router and the service
[08:18] <di||itante> fotoflo: I run Firefox through my ssh proxie every day, it is 5 cpmpliant
[08:18] <Gnea> !pulseaudio | smogattack
[08:18] <marines> Gnea: why?
[08:18] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: depends if he bought it or they lease it
[08:19] <fotoflo> di||itante: right, but if youre on windows you need to install OpenSSH, and then write a login script to use preshared keys, right?
[08:19] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: most just sell em
[08:19] <xiaobao> my computers is update,install wine,but it was broken and appear E:TYPE '--2009-08-20'is not knownon the line in sources list  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.d E:the list of sources could not be read  ,can you help me
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> boingboingbongg: personally i'd use the reset button on the back after writing any account details but this may sever your connection from the internet
[08:19] <di||itante> fotoflo: oh, didnt figure thay were win boxes
[08:19] <Gnea> marines: because pulseaudio actually works, and in rare cases, it doesn't. it has, in recent times, been able to be tweaked to the point of working when it was once a hinderance. we do not like to blindly remove something without making sure it needs to be removed first.
[08:19] <fotoflo> di||itante: yes, im probably looking for squid...
[08:19] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: true but then they should know the settings of the routers. i'd just reset it
[08:19] <di||itante> fotoflo: yeah you would have to do that
[08:19] <fotoflo> di||itante: hehe, where have you seen 100 linux users in 1 room (except at a LUG)
[08:19] <madLyfe> i did smbmount //MADLYFE-PC/mp3 /home/madlyfe/Music -o username=name,password=pass and i got this, smbmount is not installd... does that mean none of samba is installed?
[08:20] <theTrav> I shouldn't have to tell ubuntu to use the external bluetooth mouse should I?  It came up as a mouse icon when it detected it, so I assume it already knows how to use it
[08:20] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: oh yea his account info he can get most of the time its just his name and street adress for login and pass
[08:20] <boingboingbongg> if i would do that i will have to take another 30 mins setting up the security .. and theres still a chance it wont work tomarrow.. i will try to return the router
[08:20] <xiaobao> who can help me
[08:20] <boingboingbongg> i have a 2.5Gb per month download limit
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: wow that massively unsecure
[08:20] <di||itante> fotoflo: well... large installations are more common
[08:20] <Gnea> !helpme | xiaobao
[08:20] <lars_bauer> hello anybody now about a photo program who turn pictures automatically ?
[08:20] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: well its just to get on the line
[08:20] <ActionParsnip> lars_bauer: like a slideshow?
[08:21] <Gnea> !sources | xiaobao
[08:21] <boingboingbongg> 2.5 Gb per month download limit on a 2 mbps connection... what would you do if your service provider sucked this hard?
[08:21] <xiaobao> ok  i know
[08:21] <lars_bauer> ActionParsnip, yes but vith a script interface
[08:21] <marines> Gnea: i've always had problems with PA and i can't see anything against uninstalling it
[08:21] <boingboingbongg> and what if your service provider was best in the country?
[08:21] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: you would need a modem on his line to work
[08:21] <Gnea> marines: I used to as well. Then, I saw the light.
[08:21] <ActionParsnip> lars_bauer: not sure, i'd use the term slideshow rather than "turn" its a tonne clearer
[08:21] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: thats where the securty comes into play
[08:21] <Gnea> smogattack: sec, haven't tried exaile
[08:22] <marines> Gnea: so i'm waiting for the light ;]
[08:22] <Gnea> marines: what soundcard do you have?
[08:22] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: we use the mac address of the configuring device to clone accross, no silly passwords to remember. just gotta remember which pc is the key, or just write te mac down ;)
[08:22] <theTrav> ahh, it detected that I have a dell BT travel mouse, but it failed to pair with it, that is the problem, anyone know what that PIN business is all about?
[08:22] <marines> ICH9
[08:23] <Gnea> marines: did you setup your /etc/asound.conf?
[08:23] <lars_bauer> ActionParsnip, ohh no i mean when the foto is upside down , then the program fix that
[08:23] <marines> Gnea: nope
[08:23] <Gnea> marines: that's probably why....
[08:24] <Gnea> !pulseaudio | marines (check this site out, it explains what it should look like)
[08:24] <theTrav> xoh wow, it randomly started working
[08:24] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: i got +100 epic win points today
[08:24] <lars_bauer> ActionParsnip, how do you say that in english , my english is brooken.
[08:24] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: xp running nativv off usb
[08:24] <madLyfe> how long does it take to mount? cuz i hit enter and now the cursor is just blinking and not getting me back to :~$ in terminal
[08:25] <fotoflo> di||itante: do you know if there is a perl or other (easily installable on commodity $3.99/month webserver) proxy server out there?
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> lars_bauer: oh then imagemagick can do that
[08:25] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: from a unmodded cd
[08:25] <marines> Gnea: thanks, i'll check this out, but i don't think i will back to PA soon ;] perhaps in october ;]
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: you can use bartpe to create an ISO then tool to put ISO onto usb ;)
[08:25] <lars_bauer> ActionParsnip, ill check that, thx :O)
[08:25] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: wtg though. good times
[08:25] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: nope
[08:25] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: real full install
[08:26] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: nice
[08:26] <indus> hi
[08:26] <marines> Gnea: oh and skype doesn't like PA
[08:26] <Gnea> marines: ah, okay
[08:26] <Paraj> I've mounted an LVM partition under /mnt/nixboot (LVM is on /dev/sdb) but when I try to run "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/nixboot /dev/sdb" it fails saying it can't find the BIOS device for /mnt/nixboot. Why is it doing that?
[08:27] <Kartagis> it says "filter pstoufr2cpca not found" when I am trying to use my printer. I tried upgrading the driver too
[08:27] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: i used linux and vbox then usboot.org to add usb support to the real os being i installed to the real hdd via vbox
[08:27] <Kartagis> what can I do?
[08:28] <quantolf> help:  looking to mount a hard drive on boot with fstab.  looking to boot a raid 5 array managed by my 3ware card.  help?
[08:28] <ActionParsnip> !raid | quantolf
[08:28] <marines> Gnea: argh, now i remember, yup, i've played with asound.conf but without any positive result
[08:29] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: im shocked at how well my gma works in xp
[08:29] <GungaDin> Is the latest bzr version in the repo really 1.13?
[08:29] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: gma?
[08:29] <quantolf> ActionParsnip: i can run: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /raid
[08:29] <quantolf> that works fine, but i want to do that auto at boot
[08:29] <quantolf> any help?
[08:29] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: yra intel gma its aculy runing 3d games fast
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: yeah i dont really rate intel video cards
[08:30] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: it could barly get 2 fps in ubuntu
[08:30] <quantolf> ActionParsnip: my raid's managed by my 3ware hardware, i just want ubuntu to auto-mount on bootup
[08:30] <Paraj> Use a startup script
[08:30] <quantolf> link me so i can learn how to make one!
[08:30] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: well when its all you got insdie your netbook
[08:30] <quantolf> plz :B
[08:30] <ActionParsnip> quantolf: if you run: sudo fdisk -l      you will see the partitions, you can then add that to /etc/fstab
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> gogeta: yep, theres a reason they are in netbooks ;)
[08:31] <evilbug> would a linksys wmp54g wireless adapter be automatically functional within ubuntu?
[08:31] <Kartagis> it says "filter pstoufr2cpca not found" when I am trying to use my printer. I tried upgrading the driver too
[08:31] <gogeta> ActionParsnip: i had it running a very heavy 3d game well
[08:31] <Kartagis> what can I do?
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> evilbug: depends what wifi chip is inside it
[08:31] <quantolf> ActionParsnip: aye i've used that... i was tryign to automount using the UUID but i guess that'll be a nog o
[08:31] <ActionParsnip> quantolf: you can use uuid
[08:31] <quantolf> also with fdisk -l i get this warning only for the 3ware disk:
[08:31] <quantolf> WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdc'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted.
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> !1blkid | quantolf
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> !blkid
[08:32] <LiraNuna> ubuntu.com is down?
[08:32] <Paraj> Was last time I checked
[08:32] <ActionParsnip> quantolf: maybe you need some module loaded to get the card detected?
[08:32] <LiraNuna> "It's not just you! http://packages.ubuntu.com looks down from here."
[08:32] <quantolf> perhaps? i can mount after boot up
[08:32] <evilbug> ActionParsnip: hey, long time. here's the link for it > http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833124115
[08:32] <LiraNuna> what's up with it?
[08:32] <quantolf> but i'd prefer it being automated
[08:32] <evilbug> ActionParsnip: if you don't mind.
[08:33] <quantolf> ActionParsnip: i used the UUID for the drive from blkid...altho i'm using type ext3 but with blkid it says it has secondary type of ext2
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> quantolf: then add the module to /etc/modules
[08:33] <leaf-sheep> evilbug: eBay. :)
[08:33] <LiraNuna> how can I find what packages depends on a packge?
[08:33] <ActionParsnip> evilbug: that site tells you nothing
[08:33] <leaf-sheep> LiraNuna: "aptitude show firefox"
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> evilbug: its aimed at casual consumers, you need to dig around to find out what chip it uses
[08:34] <LiraNuna> leaf-sheep, reverse
[08:34] <LiraNuna> leaf-sheep, all packages that depends on package X
[08:34] <LiraNuna> sorry, phrased it wron
[08:34] <LiraNuna> +g
[08:34] <evilbug> ActionParsnip: gotcha. thanks.
[08:34] <quantolf> ActionParsnip: i don't know what module that is
[08:34] <ActionParsnip> evilbug: everyone seems to point to it using ndiswrapper
[08:34] <leaf-sheep> LiraNuna: Just do "aptitude show <xyz-package>" and it'll show as long as it's not metapackage.
[08:34] <quantolf> ActionParsnip: also id on't know if is hould use type ext2 or ext3 for fstab
[08:35] <quantolf> ActionParsnip: cuz in blkid it says type=ext3 and sec_type=ext2
[08:35] <ActionParsnip> quantolf: then if you run: lspci   you can find the chip on the raid controller and see what it needs to get going
[08:35] <leaf-sheep> evilbug: You are considering buying one or you have that?
[08:35] <LiraNuna> leaf-sheep, that shows that the package depends /on
[08:35] <LiraNuna> I want to know what packages depends on the package X
[08:35] <Paraj> ext3 is backwards compatible with ext2
[08:35] <evilbug> leaf-sheep: considering getting it for an older desktop that won't be near a router.
[08:35] <hyperutz> how can i connect to a samba share using gnome commander?
[08:36] <Flannel> LiraNuna: Just immediately? or all the way up? (packages that depend on packages that depend on X)
[08:36] <quantolf> Paraj: ty
[08:36] <ActionParsnip> quantolf: you would need to use some other command to find out the file system for that
[08:36] <leaf-sheep> evilbug: http://deals.ebay.com/deals
[08:36] <LiraNuna> Flannel, preferably the ones I have installed
[08:36] <quantolf> ActionParsnip: i like that command, lspci, it's neat :D.  found this: 06:00.0 RAID bus controller: 3ware Inc 9650SE SATA-II RAID PCIe (rev 01)
[08:36] <Flannel> LiraNuna: sudo apt-get --simulate remove X
[08:36] <LiraNuna> Flannel, I'm trying to remove libsasl2-2 and for some reason it tries to remove apache2
[08:36] <evilbug> leaf-sheep: thanks.
[08:36] <GungaDin> How come the packages I'm downloading are so old?
[08:36] <LiraNuna> I'm pretty sure apache2 doesn't depend on it
[08:36] <GungaDin> I already did apt-get update
[08:36] <GungaDin> any ideas?
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> quantolf: then get websearhing
[08:37] <Paraj> How can I install grub on a partition within a LVM?
[08:37] <Flannel> LiraNuna: What version of Ubuntu?
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | quantolf
[08:37] <LiraNuna> Flannel, "hardy" 8.04 LTS
[08:37] <Flannel> Paraj: You put /boot on a separate partition (outside of LVM)
[08:37] <leaf-sheep> evilbug: Keep it in mind.  It's refurbished.
[08:37] <GnUMeNaL> help me error 11 grub
[08:37] <GnUMeNaL> help me error 11 grub
[08:37] <ActionParsnip> !hcl | evilbug
[08:37] <quantolf> ActionParsnip: ok i'm gonna start my bingling.  also can you point me in a direction so i can learn start up scripts?
[08:37] <Paraj> Flannel: I couldn't do that, installer wouldn't let me add more than one partition within the physical volume. Should I try doing it manually (outside the installer)?
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> !boot | quantolf
[08:38] <Paraj> So there's no way to do it within an LVM?
[08:38] <quantolf> ActionParsnip: awesome, thank you :)
[08:38] <ActionParsnip> np bro
[08:38] <Rev_Slid3r> hey I am having an issue with a fresh instll of jaunty .. it wont auto detect and mount my other drive ... I have tried adding it to /etc/fstab .. but it is hit-and-miss on each boot
[08:38] <gogeta> Paraj: boot does not have to very big like 100mb
[08:38] <Flannel> Paraj: The installer will allow you to put a second partition on a drive with LVM, you just need to make a partition of LVM, instead of "use entire disk" or whatever.
[08:38] <Rev_Slid3r> sometimes I reboot and it's there, sometimes not
[08:38] <Flannel> Paraj: You don't want to go through the trouble of getting /boot on LVM
[08:39] <GnUMeNaL> help me error 11 grub
[08:39] <Paraj> Flannel: Haha yeah I'm experiencing the trouble now, but for some reason it wouldn't let me create multiple partitions on the physical volume hence why I used an LVM in the first place.
[08:39] <evilbug> leaf-sheep, ActionParsnip: thanks for the help.
[08:39] <Beardbar> does anyone know a good tutorial web server security. using ubuntu server edition on a home box.
[08:39] <Paraj> Also is there some way to specify installing Grub instead of LILO when using the alternate install disk?
[08:40] <ActionParsnip> evilbug: my atheros 5000X based card (netgear) works out of the box even in karmic
[08:40] <Flannel> LiraNuna: apt-cache showpkg libsasl2-2 (the big tall list is reverse depends)
[08:40] <LiraNuna> Flannel, thanks, let's see if apache2 is included
[08:40] <gogeta> Paraj: you can have a max of 4 partations without making a extended
[08:41] <gogeta> Paraj: you can have 8 with extendid
[08:41] <Flannel> Paraj: GRUB is default on alternate CD
[08:41] <LiraNuna> Flannel, any idea why when I try to remove libsasl2-2 it tries to remove apache2 as well
[08:42] <LiraNuna> Flannel, it's not in the reverse depends
[08:42] <Paraj> Flannel: Then why does it keep installing LILO? I'm using dm-crypt on my / and /home partitions. Is that why?
[08:43] <madLyfe> really cant be this hard to access windows files over the network from ubuntu...
[08:44] <leaf-sheep> madLyfe: network:// in Nautilus
[08:44] <Paraj> madLyfe: Unless you do what every one else does and not deviate, everything is hard :/
[08:44] <majuk> Any idea how to monitor my GigE NIC's up/down state with ethtool?
[08:44] <Flannel> LiraNuna: I'm looking
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> madLyfe: its hard as its new to you, once you become familiar its easy
[08:45] <evilbug> ActionParsnip: i'd expect the linksys one to work either way. i'm looking to try freebsd on the computer i'll get first and see how i deal with that. i hope it'll be compatible.
[08:45] <ActionParsnip> evilbug: the brand is irrelevant, its the chip that dictates how it will act
[08:46] <LiraNuna> Flannel, thanks, I'm too
[08:46] <Kartagis> ActionParsnip, when I try to print, I get NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME. I am running jaunty. any ideas?
[08:46] <evilbug> ActionParsnip: i understand but doesn't/shouldn't linksys utilize the same chip/brand in their cards?
[08:46] <Flannel> LiraNuna: libaprutil1 depends on libldap-2.4-2 which depends on it
[08:47] <LiraNuna> wow ...
