[19:16] <BluesKaj> SMR_, yes grub will see your W7 partition and list it in the grub menu
[19:16] <Nobody__> abhijit, you're really awesome ^^
[19:16] <p1und3r> has anyone had an intermittent "NVIDIA kernel module initialisation" problem on bootup?
[19:17] <BluesKaj> SMR_, make sure enable grub during the last part of the install, ubuntu will ask you
[19:17] <abhijit> SMR_, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=47873
[19:17] <SMR_> okay
[19:18] <molenick> i upgraded from 8.10->10.04 awhile back, and it's great except everytime i ssh i'm forced to "Enter passphrase for key".  any ideas of what's wrong and how i can fix?
[19:18] <ruliezz> hi everyone
[19:18] <Guest18760> Nobody, you can try Adminidstration->Login Screen and uncheck the "play a sound" box for suscessfull login
[19:18] <SMR_> thanks abhijit and blues
[19:18] <p1und3r> hi ruliezz!!!!!!!!!
[19:19] <snxs> ok thanks erUSUL
[19:19] <BluesKaj> SMR_, you shouldn't have any problems
[19:19] <ruliezz> knows anyboy more about the bug for the scanner CanoScan N640P
[19:19] <erUSUL> molenick: what is wrong with it? you have a key with a passphrase. it is normal to be asked for the passphrasse
[19:20] <molenick> erUSUL there's no passphrase for the key, it's prompting for my pw to unlock the key i believe.
[19:20] <molenick> previously, i believe seahorse or something stored the key and auto-unlocked it after login.. but something is different now, i don't know enough to trace the issue
[19:21] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[19:21] <SMR_> thanks for the help guys, bye now :)
[19:21] <ruliezz> hi Wildc4rd
[19:21] <ruliezz> anybody?

[19:22] <antaranian> but I don't have internet connection
[19:22] <BluesKaj> molenick, just answer yes and a new paasphrase will be generated , then next time you'll just be asked for a pw
[19:23] <antaranian> in Ubuntu
[19:23] <antaranian> I've downloaded and tried to install required software
[19:23] <molenick> ersUSUL: thanks :)  BluesKaj: there's no "yes" or "no" prompty, just "enter passphrase for key".  in 8.10 the key was always unlocked after login, and i never had to enter a pw for it
[19:24] <antaranian> but it has his own dependencies
[19:24] <antaranian> but I can't install it,. because I don't have connection
[19:25] <antaranian> can anyone help me ?
[19:25] <BluesKaj> molenick, look for a passphrase in kdesudo kate /home/username/.ssh/known_hosts
[19:25] <Clappy> asdf.

[19:25] <DDAZZA> Hello I just ran this command: gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/panel_main_menu --type string "Super_L" how can I undo this?
[19:27] <princefarhaan> Hi Guys, I have a problem with the drawing of my panel in Lucid
[19:27] <princefarhaan> Looks like its trying to draw the icons over each other
[19:27] <princefarhaan> I have to relogin and hope that it ges resolved or see the properties of the panel and check and uncheck the hide buttons thing
[19:27] <princefarhaan> and then it redraws properly
[19:28] <princefarhaan> the problem is only with my laptop and not with my desktop
[19:28]  * BluesKaj has to remember this gnome territory
[19:28] <princefarhaan> any ideas how I can resolve it
[19:28] <iceroot> DDAZZA: --unset
[19:30] <oddy> hey there, my sound drivers have died, what sorta diagnostic commands can i run to see what is going on?
[19:30] <DDAZZA> iceroot,  thanks your a life saver.
[19:30] <erUSUL> oddy: run « alsamixer » in a terminal
[19:31] <iceroot> DDAZZA: --help is the real life saver .)
[19:31] <oddy> erUSUL: the mixer comes up like normal.
[19:31] <BluesKaj> oddy, what do you mean died , try to give more detail pls
[19:32] <oddy> so i boot my system, nothing is playing any sound although volume is set maximum and mixers all seem to be working. i haven't got any error messages or complaints.
[19:32] <mgolisch> make sure none of the needed channels is muted(M under it)
[19:32] <mgolisch> in alsamixer
[19:32] <oddy> mgolisch: nope
[19:32] <erUSUL> oddy: maybe its just pa who died ? run « start-pulseaudio-x11 »
[19:33] <mgolisch> it shouldnt the client.conf tells client to autospawn pa if its not running
[19:33] <mgolisch> so unless pa fails to start this should not be a problem
[19:34] <oddy> erUSUL: thanks, i'll give that a shot hold on
[19:34] <oddy> aha
[19:34] <oddy> Failure: Module initialisation failed.
[19:34] <adac> hi! Wondering: I would need a newer cryptsetup package since in the current one there seems to be a bug with luks on lvm devices. Wondering what is the best way to add this package the apt way?
[19:35] <oddy> lol i accidentally pinged failure, sorry XD
[19:35] <oddy> erUSUL: I get an error of "Failure: Module initialisation failed."

[19:38] <zylogz80> I can't add a twitter account in Gwibber. Brand new install of Ubuntu 10.04, fully updated, nothing additional installed (except xchat.) I can add other accounts no problem.  If I go to Edit > Accounts > Add > Twitter > Add > then there's no account sign in details, just a red Authorize button. I hit that and nothing happens. I get the following traceback at the command line when I try it: http://jason.pastebin.com/MhX4VpbN
[19:39] <dlublink> I installed "linux-crashdump", do I have to do anything before I cause the kernel panic ? Where will the dump be ?
[19:40] <zylogz80> ugh disconnected by mistake. if anyone responded I didn't see it.
[19:40] <erUSUL> oddy: no more errors? it does not say what module fails ?
[19:42] <DrGrov> Good evening
[19:42] <DrGrov> Everyone knows about the shutdown problems I have had with Ubuntu 10.04 due to Update Manager messing around with my libraries.
[19:43] <monokrome> DrGrov: Shutdown problems? I've had some too... Ubuntu freezes up during shutdown
[19:44] <DrGrov> I would need to know how to see which updates Update Manager last put in since it again caused the same problem I had earlier. Now it is the same as before. Interestingly though the problem disappeared due to the 2nd last Update Manager updates but with the last one it is back that I can not choose the Shutdown option from the login screen.
[19:44] <DrGrov> I am 100% sure it is a update to some lib/app that makes this problem
[19:44] <Emanon> back all
[19:44] <Emanon> so on a swap note i have 3g ram what should i set my swap/swappiness to?
[19:45] <DrGrov> monokrome: You got the problem due to Update Manager updating some libs/apps you have installed?
[19:45] <Emanon> im at 1.5g/60 respectively now
[19:45] <monokrome> DrGrov: I have no idea. I just know it freezes up.
[19:45] <DrGrov> I am seriously getting angry about this problem jumping up again.
[19:45] <hardwired> what does "uncomment" mean, does it mean "add a comment char so the line is inactive" or does it mean "remove the comment sign and make the line active"?
[19:46] <Emanon> make active hardwired
[19:46] <Pici> hardwired: un = remove
[19:46] <DrGrov> monokrome: That it has done for me as well. The problem now though is not the same since I can not even do a shutdown. Just perhaps every 4th or 5th time it gives me the shutdown option....
[19:46] <hardwired> Emanon, Pici: thanks
[19:46] <Emanon> comment out= add # uncomment= remove #
[19:46] <DrGrov> So, how can I check what updates Update Manager last did for me?
[19:46] <pfifo> hi
[19:46] <Emanon> !hi | pfifo
[19:47] <Pici> DrGrov: Look in /var/log/dpkg.log or /var/log/apt/history.log
[19:47] <DrGrov> Pici: thanks, will check now.
[19:49] <DrGrov> Pici: i found the latest updates Update Manager does in /var/log/apt/history.log
[19:49] <lestat> hi
[19:49] <DrGrov> Pici: Now the problem is that I am not 100% sure what causes the error... Everything was working back to normal when I upgrade the 10th this month. Perhaps I should do a pastebin about this?
[19:49] <Pici> DrGrov: That could help.
[19:50] <lestat> any idea where stored the svn credentials ?
[19:50] <lestat> +are
[19:50] <DrGrov> Pici: here is the pastebin... http://pastebin.ca/1942306
[19:51] <DouglasK> In Ubuntu Server, how do I rerun the tool to add roles to the server (eg, LAMP server, Email server, etc)?
[19:51] <Pici> DouglasK: sudo tasksel
[19:51] <DouglasK> pici, thanks!  couldn't remember the command.  :-)
[19:52] <Pici> DrGrov: When did it stop working properly?
[19:52] <Out_Cold_> wtf is up with the flood bots in #ubuntu-unregged?
[19:52] <DrGrov> Pici: It stopped working properly earlier than that but when I updated 10th which is the first in the pastebin everything started working out well.
[19:52] <jimmy51_> looking for some advice.  i have two 500 GB drives.  one is mounted as /, one is mounted as /home.  /home is full and i've barely used the other drive.
[19:53] <jimmy51_> what should i do?
[19:53] <DrGrov> Pici: It has happened earlier as well but now when it happened I immidiately thought it was a lib issue. Not a kernel issue as I first thought...
[19:53] <DrGrov> Pici: I lose the sound as well and shutdown options in login screen and shutdown option when I log in. I lose also the suspend option when I get to the login screen at first boot.
[19:54] <pat|nG> is there any way to let my usb pendrive to be detected on my ubuntu 10.04?
[19:54] <Pici> DrGrov: Theres nothing in the updates for the 10th that look like they would affect that.
[19:55] <karmic-koala> i have a usb drive on PC1 , when I ssh to PC1 from PC2 I can't see that drive because I am not logged into PC1, this is not the case when I am logged into PC1 and PC1 is just 'locked'
[19:55] <DrGrov> Pici: No that is really weird. But I did about 25 reboots then and I always got the Suspend at login screen and working Shutdown...
[19:55] <karmic-koala> any ideas?
[19:55] <jimmy51_> is there a common place to store documents that should be accessible by all users?
[19:56] <DouglasK> karmic-koala: : use scp to copy the files to / from the remote machne
[19:56] <Pici> DrGrov: Was it doing a fsck?
[19:57] <SBRi> I installed 10.04.1 using Wubi and it worked fine. When I switched to the highest desktop effects setting, ubuntu asked that i download a graphics card driver. After installing driver and restarting, ubuntu froze at the loading screen. Before this, though, the graphics card seemed to be working fine (nVidia GeForce 9500M) because the 1080 resolution was detected out-of-the-box. May anyone...
[19:57] <SBRi> ...please help me?
[19:57] <DrGrov> Pici: Ah... Perhaps a check up yes... Is it that check up that might mess it up? can I PM you, easier to follow the discussion.
[19:57] <Out_Cold_> jimmy51_, you could always make one.. just set permissions and users/groups accordingly
[19:57] <DrGrov> Pici: It does a check up every now and then and usually very often. Every 30 boots or so.
[19:57] <jimmy51_> Out_Cold_: ok.  so there's no "best practice" location for that?
[19:58] <Emanon> thanks to whoever clued my into how to customize the panel clock its nice having it correct
[19:58] <Out_Cold_> jimmy51_, depends.. I use /srv but others have used /var or /home/share or something along those lines
[19:58] <sid> Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit [Errno 5] Input/output error during installation. CD burnt at 8x [md5sum checked]. I didn't find any solution in ubuntu forums :( Installation stops at 28%
[19:59] <karmic-koala> DouglasK, I get a permission denied prompt, (although I am the sole user of PC1  and I have admin rights)
[19:59] <pat|nG> ?
[20:00] <Katsumi32> sid use lili to make ubuntu iso bootable
[20:01] <DouglasK> karmic-koala: you can set a password for root on PC1, then use scp with root on that PC.. some will see that as a security risk though.  you may also need to enable "allow root login" in the sshd config file on PC1.
[20:01] <sid> Katsumi32: What is lili ? [I'm a newbie.]
[20:01] <vvvv> Hello
[20:01] <vvvv> I use gnome
[20:01] <karmic-koala> DouglasK, but surely that shouldn't be necessary as when working locally i am able to manipulate files fine using that same login without using sudo
[20:01] <Emanon> congratulations vvvv
[20:02] <mast`> is it possible to merge an empty partition with my main partition non-destructively ?
[20:02] <Emanon> !hi | vvvv
[20:02] <Katsumi32> sid,  http://www.linuxliveusb.com/en/using-lili.html  download ubuntu use lili to put it on flash usb or cd dvd etc
[20:02] <vvvv> but recently i lost the botton panel, and when i put a new panel, it are empty
[20:02] <vvvv> i cant see what folder or program I open
[20:02] <DouglasK> karmic-koala: ah, that I did not know.  when you scp, the normal format is scp user@host:/path/to/file /path/to/targetFile
[20:02] <Emanon> it would be you have to add the applets to the bottom panel
[20:03] <pat|nG> is there any way to let my usb pendrive to be detected on my ubuntu 10.04?
[20:03] <Emanon> vvvv right click on the empty bottom panel and select add applet
[20:03] <nouitfvf[afk]> sorry
[20:03] <karmic-koala> Dougal, that's exactly what i am using
[20:03] <Emanon> vvvv sorry add to panel
[20:03] <DouglasK> karmic-koala: that format can be reversed when copying to the remote machine: scp /path/to/sourcefile user@host:/path/to/target
[20:03] <vvvv> yes, but i try all applets in other panel and I dont know what applet it is
[20:03] <DouglasK> karmic-koala: are you using a full path starting with / as root?
[20:04] <Emanon> vvvv the applets from left to right are show desktop
[20:04] <sid> Thank you Katsumi-san! :)
[20:04] <Emanon> vvvv: then window list
[20:04] <Emanon> vvvv: desktop switcher
[20:04] <Emanon> vvvv: and finally trash can
[20:04] <karmic-koala> Dougal, I am using full path but without sudo, just my username
[20:04] <karmic-koala> DouglasK, sorry full path but without the sudo option, just my username
[20:04] <Emanon> you can search/filter in the applet list with the text box at the top
[20:05] <vvvv> i need put window list in my panel
[20:05] <zoopp> hello..can someone tell me if the proprietary ATI linux driver for Radeon 9250 SE PRO gives any boost over the default one?
[20:05] <Emanon> right then select window list and hit add vvvv
[20:05] <Emanon> and by the way what is your native language vvvv i can direct you to the proper channel for it, it may be easier for you
[20:05] <DouglasK> are you copying from the local to the remote pc or vice versa?
[20:06] <vvvv> I found it
[20:06] <vvvv> thank you
[20:06] <Samplezt> wich one, is a good software to make web-development?'
[20:06] <Emanon> no problem vvvv good luck in the furture
[20:06] <DouglasK> karmic-koala: are you copying from the local to the remote pc or vice versa?
[20:06] <Emanon> future*
[20:06] <foul_owl> anyone know what "deauthenticating from [mac address] by local choice (reason=3)" is and why i can't use my linksys wusb54g anymore?
[20:06] <vvvv> too much comfortable now
[20:06] <karmic-koala> DouglasK, from local to remote so scp file.name user@ip:/path
[20:07] <venky10> Hi. Does anyone know how to use the /sbin/installkernel script? I have a newer kernel built and ready. I don't know how to install using the script.
[20:07] <sebsebseb> Hi
[20:07] <karmic-koala> DouglasK, further when I ssh into remote i am unable to navigate to the USB drive
[20:07] <Emanon> did one floodbot just de-op 2 others?
[20:07] <Dougal> I've deleted files from my hard drive, but it hasn't opened up any new space. Can anyone help me free up the space? I'm not using nautilous, i'm using pcmanfm, it's not supposed to keep deleted files, and there's no 'deleted files folder' to access.
[20:08] <Emanon> err 2 others de-op one i mean
[20:08] <karmic-koala> DouglasK, after ssh - > ls /media/my_external_drive gives me 'permission denied'
[20:08] <zoopp> here's another question..under gnome if ia put a bigger image than my native resolution as centered..will i lose performance?
[20:08] <edbian> Dougal, Use the disk usage analyzer
[20:08] <DouglasK> karmic-koala: then you have either a path error or a permissions issue.  at the prompt on the remote machine, type mount and see where the usb drive is mounted.
[20:08] <trojan_spike> Dougal, files are still on hard drive,, > .trash
[20:08] <vvvv> I did use archlinux, but ubuntu show me the way, without mention software libre
[20:08] <edbian> DouglasK, trojan_spike is probably right.
[20:09] <warflyr> karmic-koala, assign a uid/gid in the mount options; most likely a ntfs will be root only; im not sure about fat
[20:09] <sebsebseb> !freedom | vvvv
[20:09] <karmic-koala> warflyr, my external drive is ext4 :)
[20:09] <Emanon> nice command sebsebseb
[20:09] <DouglasK> edbian, trojan_spike, if you two want to take over, be my guest.
[20:09] <Dougal> trojan_spike: where's the .trash directory?
[20:10] <warflyr> karmic-koala hmmmm, have you made sure the all permissions have at least 4 or 5? (755, 644 or something)
[20:10] <DouglasK> edbian: , trojan_spike .. a similar nick confusion.  sorry bout that.
[20:10] <trojan_spike> Dougal, menu / View . view hidden >>a .(dot)file are hidden
[20:10] <karmic-koala> DouglasK, warflyr my permissions are okay, the drive is mounted as /dev/sdb1
[20:10] <sebsebseb> Emanon: indeed and http://www.gnu.org philosphey section is great, since will explain to people that,  this kind of software isn't about being free as in price, its about being free as in freedom :)
[20:11] <warflyr> karmic-koala you can browse as root?
[20:11] <DouglasK> karmic-koala: what's the mount point?
[20:11] <Emanon> and no one has the right NOT to be free hehe
[20:11] <karmic-koala> warflyr, nope
[20:11] <sebsebseb> Emanon: free as in price is just something that happens as a result of software freedom, as well
[20:11] <warflyr> ahh
[20:11] <DouglasK> it should read like "/dev/sdb1 on /path"
[20:11] <Emanon> yes warflyr sudo nautilus
[20:11] <DouglasK> karmic-koala: it should read like "/dev/sdb1 on /path"
[20:11] <karmic-koala> DouglasK, yes, its /dev/sdb1
[20:12] <karmic-koala> DouglasK, did a fdisk -l as root
[20:12] <DouglasK> karmic-koala: please type "mount" at the prompt, not fsck.  we need to find the mount point.
[20:12] <karmic-koala> warflyr, this is very strange, i am not able to change directory to /media/external_drive even as root (sudo -i)
[20:13] <karmic-koala> DouglasK, mounted at /
[20:13] <warflyr> karmic-koala, so: $ sudo umount /dev/sdb1 && sudo mkdir /media/test && sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/test
[20:13] <Dougal> trojan_spike: *nods* yes, i can view hidden files. But what folder am i supposed to look in?
[20:13] <warflyr> check dmesg and ls /media/test
[20:13] <Pricey> Howdy. I would like to install mysql on a Karmic box with a small amount of RAM (around 128Mb) Does anyone have any experience of this?
[20:13] <dlublink> There does not seem to be a "linux-image-debug-server" for architecture "amd64" architecture. How do I get a decent dump ?
[20:13] <trojan_spike> it is kept in the .trash folder
[20:14] <DouglasK> karmic-koala: , ok then.  the usb drive is your root drive, yes?  you can use linux, so it is r/w.  either that, or you've reported the mount point for your hard disc.
[20:14] <warflyr> Pricey in low memory cases ive used sqlite for relational databases
[20:14] <sebsebseb> Pricey: that suprises me, that your asking for help in here :)
[20:15] <Pricey> warflyr: Sure, but I would like mysql :-)
[20:15] <Pricey> sebsebseb: I'm as clueless as everyone else.
[20:15] <warflyr> Pricey on a 256mb embedded system (arm); mysql uses 128mb of that memory... frankly too much; sqlite works fine for more than 250k records (for me at least)
[20:15] <Dougal> trojan_spike: thanks for trying, but i found it on my own. I was looking under root, and then under 'home'. Finally found it in my home directory. That's what I was asking
[20:15] <dlublink> I have mysql running on 256mb managing a 10 gigabyte db. I guess it has to do with the performance you want
[20:15] <Dougal> oh, and it's empty

[20:15] <Mr_Giraffe> hey, does anybody here use Gwibber on a laptop?
[20:16] <Pricey> warflyr: Sure, but I would like mysql :-)
[20:16] <warflyr> Pricey well, install and use mysql then :)
[20:16] <ddilinger> so i know hdparm can time buffered disk reads and give me an idea of disk speed, but is there anything that will do timing of randomized reads, to show me how the disks perform under the kind of load where many processes request varied file sets and the disk seeks alot
[20:16] <warflyr> itll work
[20:16] <pascal__> hi there
[20:16] <Pricey> warflyr: That's my problem, it doesn't. It won't start up and so apt fails.
[20:16] <Pricey> warflyr: i've tried to tinker with my.cnf to lower memory usage but to no avail.
[20:16] <mpgutta> i have updated my mysql datadir to /var/lib/mysql1 and updated apparmor conf, http://pastebin.com/cQQ8zrLx is it correct?
[20:16] <DouglasK> karmic-koala: your usb drive is not mounted.  try unplugging, replugging, wait a minute, then redo mount
[20:16] <warflyr> look at your log files, whats prevently startup?
[20:17] <Pricey> warflyr: That's the best bit, they're empty.
[20:17] <karmic-koala> DouglasK, can't unplug, PC1 is remote, I can reboot PC1 thou
[20:17] <ddilinger> karmic-koala: or instead of 'wait a minute' look at dmesg to see if it actualy got recognized
[20:17] <pascal__> guys i need help setting up my sound on latest ubuntu release
[20:17] <DouglasK> karmic-koala: that should do the trick.
[20:17] <warflyr> Pricey mysql logs are empty or your system/daemon logs are empty?
[20:17] <pascal__> its not working
[20:17] <foul_owl> anyone know what "deauthenticating from [mac address] by local choice (reason=3)" is and why i can't use my linksys wusb54g anymore?
[20:18] <anothergit> I have an extra partition on my harddrive that is ext4 and I want it to be visible to my windows install. can I just change my /etc/fstab to ntfs for that partition and boot into gparted to reformat as ntfs?
[20:18] <DagoRed> I'm looking at two laptops, one with ATI graphics and one with Intel graphics. Everything else is pretty much the same. I haven't messed with ATI on linux and I didn't know if it's still a pain. Does anyone have advice which way I should go?
[20:18] <ddilinger> anothergit: what is the downside of trying that out?
[20:18] <venky10> Hi all. Is there any good tutorial on how to build and install custom kernel on ubuntu lucid?
[20:18] <Pricey> warflyr: I tell a lie.... syslog has something. Should've looked further than the empty mysql.log/err
[20:18] <ddilinger> anothergit: or i mean, why ask and not just try ?
[20:18] <mpgutta> hi, i have updated my mysql datadir to /var/lib/mysql1 and updated apparmor conf, http://pastebin.com/cQQ8zrLx could anyone please let me know is it correct?
[20:19] <anothergit> ddilinger, don't want to mess up my partition scheme
[20:19] <warflyr> Pricey ive had problems with mysql logging correctly as well o.0
[20:19] <ddilinger> anothergit: mess it up how?  unless you format the wrong partition
[20:19] <blackxored> does the adobe air app installer through firefox works on 3.6.9? in the past I had to download the apps, now it says is installilng, should i wait and go for the download as I was used to?
[20:19] <ddilinger> anothergit: if you change the filesystem type and linux doesn't like it, worst case it doesn't get mounted
[20:20] <anothergit> alright
[20:20] <anothergit> thanks
[20:20] <FredFlinstone> hi, i need to get a video card, (onboard right now) what is ideal for ubuntu ? nvidia chipset, but how good a card for say home theatre , would i need?
[20:20] <Pricey> warflyr: Bah... had added 'skip-innodb' and 'skip-bdb' to my conf to try and lower memory usage.... turns out the second was making it crash, the former gives me enough memory to start up!
[20:20] <xangua> blackxored: since latest update doesn¿t work to me either, better download the air installer to de  desktop and double clic it; that should work
[20:20] <warflyr> mpgutta looks like an issue with apparmor; look at their wiki/irc channel or something...
[20:20] <erUSUL> DagoRed: i would go intel if anything it should suck less power and longer battery lifr
[20:20] <foul_owl> Anyone know what "deauthenticating from [mac address] by local choice (reason=3)" is (dmesg) and why my WUSB54G cannot connect to an access point? Drivers seem to work fine, it can detect my access point. Connecting though just doesn't seem to work. I used to have Ubuntu I believe it was Karmic. I did a fresh install of Lubuntu Lucid. Could it be some problem with Lubuntu specifically?
[20:20] <blackxored> xangua, thanks for the info
[20:20] <warflyr> Pricey ahhh, nice. glad you figured it out
[20:20] <DagoRed> erUSUL: Both have i5's in them.
[20:20] <Pricey> warflyr: Knew I was so close.
[20:20] <intrader> All, how do I create a new user? I am on ubuntu 10.04 running Gnome WM
[20:21] <Pricey> warflyr: Silly me reading about mysql4
[20:21] <karmic-koala> DouglasK, rebooting didn't do the trick , now trying to find drive in dmesg
[20:21] <DagoRed> erUSUL: Both are dedicated graphics cards
[20:21] <trojan_spike> FredFlinstone, > check the ubuntu forums for the best advice on which graphics card to get..
[20:21] <blackxored> xangua, which version of Air do you have?
[20:21] <erUSUL> DagoRed: intel does not do dedicated cards. only the ati/amd is "discrete"
[20:22] <DouglasK> karmic-koala: bbiam
[20:22] <geoffmcc> intrader: you can create a new user from shell using adduser

[20:24] <warflyr> jits, not clear what youre asking
[20:24] <warflyr> jits, you need the default gateway ip in a bash script or what?

[20:43] <edbian> Is there an Ubuntu net install¿
[20:43] <LjL> edbian: i think so, but i'm not familiar with it. i am, however, more familiar with the Minimal CD, which is about 10 megs and gets pretty much everything from the net.
[20:45] <dzeremis> s
[20:45] <edbian> LjL, Yeah here's the thing.  I have a netbook.    I just tried unetbootin but the harddrive was mounted (cause that's how it works.  And I couldn't install Ubuntu.
[20:45] <foul_owl> what is the apt command to check to see if a package is installed?
[20:45] <dzer> Hello all!
[20:46] <VikasSingh01> which 1 is best for superuser priviledge sudo or su
[20:46] <VikasSingh01> sudo or su which is best
[20:46] <tim__> Im trying to setup a headless, wireless, ubuntu server.  ATM the wired connection starts automatically at startup and i can ssh in fine.  I have gnome running and i can connect to the wireless from here.  How do I stup the wireless to automatically connect to a network on boot?
[20:46] <foul_owl> sudo if you are doing one command, su if you have to do a bunch of things as root
[20:46] <guntbert> NielsMkn: there are two applications for touchpad configuration in the repos, one is gsynaptics and the other is gpointing-device-settings, do you have one of them installed?
[20:47] <LjL> edbian: wait, what do you mean the harddrive was mounted? i assume you copied the CD to a USB stick using unetbootin, and then booted from it?
[20:47] <foul_owl> but the danger with su is you forget to change back to a normal user
[20:47] <foul_owl> so i just use sudo all the time
[20:47] <guntbert> !sudo | VikasSingh01
[20:47] <magnificats> I would like to turn off the OSD in gnome that's connected to certain things like pidgin incoming messages and network connectivity, but it's not immediately apparent where to do that.
[20:48] <edbian> LjL, No man.  You can use unetbootin to boot an ISO on the harddrive of the machine.
[20:48] <trism> magnificats: in pidgin, you can turn it off or configure the messages in Tools/Plugins/libnotify
[20:48] <erUSUL> tim__: see how to do it via /etc/network/interfaces http://wiki.debian.org/WiFi/HowToUse#wpasupplicant
[20:48] <edbian> LjL, If I could put Ubuntu on a live USB I'd do that.  I don't have a stick big enough.
[20:49] <guntbert> foul_owl: VikasSingh01:  su doesn't "work" on a standard ubuntu - use/recommend sudo -i instead if absolutely necessary
[20:49] <LjL> edbian: uhm, again though, you only really need a ~10mb stick for minimal.
[20:49] <magnificats> trism: ahh, thanks
[20:49] <edbian> LjL, Anyway, what happens is Ubuntu thinks the HDD is the cd (since it is a live CD iso) and it thinks it's mounted so it won't repartition the drive.
[20:49] <edbian> LjL, Oh! Duh!  Brilliant
[20:49] <edbian> LjL, Thanks for that.  forward palm
[20:50] <Emanon> and su will work if you sudo passwd root and make a root password first
[20:50] <LjL> edbian: of course you don't have all the fancy graphics of the live installer... but it always worked just fine for me. although if you don't have wired ethernet, i guess that might be problematic.
[20:50] <jrib> Emanon: su is a command, it works fine by default :/
[20:51] <Emanon> yea you just cant su by default on ubuntu cause the root user has no password and it doesnt permit an empty password for su
[20:51] <Emanon> so adding a root pass through sudo allows you to su
[20:51] <guntbert> Emanon: don't recommend setting a root password - its not supported here
[20:51] <Parabola|work> hey, i'm getting "segmentation fault" when i try to SSH from one user account, its not an account that i can delete
[20:51] <jrib> Emanon: yeah, but su works fine, you can su someuser
[20:51] <dajhorn> tim__: If you're not using the Network Manager, then you need to read about the /etc/network/interfaces file and how it can call the wpa_supplicant.
[20:51] <Emanon> right you can su sideways just not up
[20:52] <lukus> Emo 'su -s'
[20:52] <lukus> Emanon, ^
[20:52] <lukus> sorry .. 'sudo -s'
[20:52] <jrib> Emanon: most people that want to use "su" for some reason just don't know about "sudo -i"
[20:52] <edbian> LjL, Mmmm, yeah...
[20:52] <guntbert> Emanon: use sudo -i instead (if you *must*)
[20:52] <edbian> LjL, Thanks for the help! Sometimes it just takes another pair of eyes
[20:52] <lukus> guntbert, what's the difference between -i and -s?
[20:53] <erUSUL> lukus: envoirment  set up
[20:53] <guntbert> lukus: they set the environment differently, -i is preferred because it creates a complete root environment
[20:54] <lukus> ah okay
[20:54] <Parabola|work> any ideas?
[20:54] <lukus> thx
[20:54] <Emanon> this is just like mandriva if you ask how to enable root login or something you get 50 responses saying dont and btw welcome to the operating system of "freedom" yes using root in any way any more than needed is a bad idea but i tired of the "don't you'll break" sentiment in anything even remotely user friendly

[20:59] <Emanon> i know that I dont know hehe
[21:00] <Parabola|work> Emanon: :-\
[21:00] <hcook> Parabola|work: segfault sounds really rough. i guess i'd try reinstalling ssh and/or nuking that user's ~/.ssh directory
[21:00] <zex> I did something experimental that failed.  Now I am trying to recesitate my os. I issued this command 'sudo apt-get install python-software-properties && sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'.
[21:00] <zex> Now my system will not log in.
[21:00] <Parabola|work> hcook: i already wiped the directory
[21:00] <unperson> When you choose failsafe X after selecting recovery mode from the boot menu, am I correct in thinking it uses VESA for the video in that case?
[21:00] <zex> How do /i get into safemode?
[21:01] <Parabola|work> hcook: the user is the zenoss user account that i cannot remove :(
[21:01] <erUSUL> zex: you should use ppa-purge xorg-edgers/ppa
[21:01] <Emanon> zex with a pickaxe
[21:01] <erUSUL> zex: boot into recovery mode. root shell
[21:01] <fedora_newb> can anyone recommend a good editor? I work with php, xhtml, css, that sort of stuff and would like to get one with syntax highlighting
[21:01] <hcook> Parabola|work: but you can delete their ~/.ssh dir easily enough, no?
[21:01] <erUSUL> !html | fedora_newb
[21:01] <jrib> fedora_newb: the default one, gedit, does that
[21:02] <Parabola|work> hcook: i tried that
[21:02] <hcook> Parabola|work: (I'd probably tar it up first for future inspection)
[21:02] <guntbert> Emanon: please stop those "witty" comments
[21:02] <hcook> k
[21:02] <Parabola|work> :(
[21:02] <fedora_newb> thanks jrib
[21:02] <zex> erUSUL; I do not know how to do that.  There are no grub options.
[21:03] <erUSUL> zex: press "shift" during boot so the menu show up
[21:03] <DrGrov> I am having a problem like this bugreport is telling. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/consolekit/+bug/544139?comments=all
[21:03] <panfist> is there a command that lists the available man pages so i can grep the list of their titles?
[21:03] <grumbly> i'm having some interesting problems on my system-  Mouse issues, problems with mplayer, and some other weird problems that seem kernel dependant
[21:03] <DrGrov> Does anyone got any clues on a workaround for that problem?
[21:04] <zex> erUSUL; I am on the machine right now booted fom a thumb drive.  How can I edit the grub from here?
[21:04] <erUSUL> panfist: use « apropos » or « man -k » to search man pages
[21:04] <guntbert> !here | DrGrov

[21:04] <DrGrov> The problem is "Active VT tracking can fail at startup", https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/consolekit/+bug/544139?comments=all
[21:04] <erUSUL> zex: that's harder to do; you could chroot to the install from the livecd to issue the command
[21:04] <erUSUL> !grub2 | zex this page
[21:05] <erUSUL> zex: explains how to chrrot to an ubuntu install to repair grub. you can use the steps there but instead of repairing grub run the ppa-purge

[21:05] <Talon_> I have ubuntu 10 and two monitors, i configured them to be seperate X sessions, rather than shared display stretching across both of them. now how can I have a browser running in each monitor? firefox won't let me launch another session if its already running in one or the other
[21:05] <panfist> is there a reason this isn't in the current version?
[21:06] <Vicfred> Hi, How do I send a message over the wlan? both computers are using linux
[21:06] <EvilPhoenix> question about drivers.  Are there Ubuntu drivers for the WACOM Bamboo Pen / Touch tablets?
[21:06] <jrib> panfist: it is by default I beileve.  It's part of python-software-properties
[21:06] <EvilPhoenix> Vicfred, define send a message over wlan
[21:07] <grumbly> My computer is an Asus K50J, with 2.6.32, the trackpad is recognized wrongly as a logitech PS/2 mouse...  I have 2 finger vertical scroll but no horizontal scroll.  With 2.6.34+ it works vertically and horizontally... but sometimes in the opposite direction i move it, sometimes it scrolls when I use one finger,
[21:07] <zex> How do I get ubuntu to boot in verbose mode starting with grub?
[21:07] <panfist> jrib i'm trying to do it and it says command not found
[21:07] <Emanon> think Vicfred means like net send in windows
[21:07] <ProNihilist> is there an easy way to get ubuntu to switch from speakers to usb headset to speakers as a headset is plugged in / out ?
[21:07] <jrib> panfist: well what did you install?
[21:07] <wuschelhase> My friend has got an issue with his [ INTEL wlan] after suspending his Laptop to Ram.
[21:07] <wuschelhase> He gets intresting Kernel-Errors like [kernel: [16095.805324] iwlagn 0000:04:00.0: MAC is in deep sleep!.] ...
[21:07] <Emanon> ProNihilist: earcandy
[21:08] <EvilPhoenix> Emanon, that's one command i'm unfamiliar wtih from Windows... what the heck is "netsend"?
[21:08] <ProNihilist> Emanon: thanks, I'll take a peak, do you know off hand if it's cool with OSS4?
[21:08] <EvilPhoenix> now my queston: question about drivers.  Are there Ubuntu drivers for the WACOM Bamboo Pen / Touch tablets?
[21:08] <erUSUL> !wacom
[21:08] <Emanon> ProNihilist: it just manages audio events through pulse
[21:08] <Emanon> so if pulse plays nice with oss then yes
[21:09] <ProNihilist> Emanon: curses, I have uninstalled pulse at the moment, but I think it can play nice if I put it back, I'll give that a shot, thanks!
[21:09] <Emanon> might wanna tweak the defaults though it sometimes fades my audio out if i dont change things
[21:09] <pfifo> hey
[21:09] <DrGrov> Guys, can not be serious that no one else has that same issue as I do?
[21:10] <Emanon> EvilPhoenix: they took it out in vista i think
[21:10] <sjefen6> How can I find out what actions that are assignable in "/etc/bluetooth/input.conf"?
[21:10] <grumbly> Any ideas on how to fix my mouse issues with 2.6.34/35?
[21:10] <EvilPhoenix> Emanon, still dont know what its supposed to do.  My issue is about a WACOM drivers thing though, so.... x]
[21:10] <Emanon> net send <ip/hostname> "Message" and it pops up like a system notification (error or whatever)
[21:10] <EvilPhoenix> grumbly, define mouse issues
[21:10] <grumbly> My computer is an Asus K50J, with 2.6.32, the trackpad is recognized wrongly as a logitech PS/2 mouse...  I have 2 finger vertical scroll but no horizontal scroll.  With 2.6.34+ it works vertically and horizontally... but sometimes in the opposite direction i move it, sometimes it scrolls when I use one finger,
[21:10] <pfifo> how can i find the kernel's config? I used to see it in /proc somewhere
[21:11] <Vicfred> EvilPhoenix, Emanon, yes, like net send in windows
[21:11] <EvilPhoenix> grumbly, check mouse settings
[21:11] <kruhft> pfifo: /proc/config.gz
[21:11] <erUSUL> pfifo: /proc/config.gz or in /boot/config-$(uname -r)
[21:11] <PeterDrop> hello pple, iam in looking for docs about, how to start the computer and allow the user just use that program, nothing else
[21:11] <PeterDrop> somebody can apointme in some direction, please
[21:12] <grumbly> EvilPhoenix: I have... I dont know what it could be
[21:12] <pfifo> ahh there it is in /boot thanks
[21:12] <Emanon> used to use it for hilarious results at the alternative school i went to (net send <ip of stoner 3 computers over> "This program has commited an illegal operation, the police are on the way")
[21:12] <fedora_newb> does anyone know of a tutorial that keeps thunderbird running as a notification icon to receive emails instead of having it open all the time?
[21:12] <wuschelhase> My friend has got an issue with his [ INTEL wlan] after suspending his Laptop to Ram.
[21:12] <wuschelhase>  He gets intresting Kernel-Errors like [kernel: [16095.805324] iwlagn 0000:04:00.0: MAC is in deep sleep!.] ...
[21:12] <kruhft> pfifo: oops, forgot this was #ubuntu...
[21:12] <wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww> How can I have it so when I put a file in a shared folder in samba in windows that I can have permissions for it in ubuntu?
[21:13] <grumbly> EvilPhoenix: It is an Elantech trackpad (or touchpad) and I know there are problems with the 2.6.32 kernel module... are there some other configs that I should look into?
[21:13] <erUSUL> wuschelhase: looks like the driver could not wake up the chip ... maybe reloading the driver helps
[21:13] <pfifo> !ubuntu | kruhft
[21:13] <EvilPhoenix> grumbly, i'm uncertain at the moment, you might wait to ask others
[21:13] <Slart> fedora_newb: I use "mail-notification" instead.. but I think there are some tools that makes thunderbird minimize to the tray.. that should work
[21:13] <Emanon> and Vicfred sorry i dont know of an analogue on linux
[21:13] <EvilPhoenix> Emanon, i dont think there is one...
[21:14] <grumbly> EvilPhoenix: Ok.  Thanks for your honesty
[21:14] <fedora_newb> Slart...mail-notification will notify me when I receive new email in thunderbird without it being opened?
[21:14] <jimcooncat> DrGrov: looking over your recent messages and the bug report you put up, my guess is that the people here don't have a clue what the issue is. I sure don't.
[21:14] <Emanon> sorry Vicfred guess you get to shout to the other room
[21:14] <kruhft> pfifo: i know i develop on it now...i just forget that they don't include things like /proc/config.gz like every other distro and kernel i've compiled
[21:14] <DHCPACK> Hey, a friend of mine was saving a text document onto his desktop (Ubuntu 8.04) and the system crashed, he rebooted and now everything on the desktop has gone. I don't have a clue about how I would go about recovering the files, does anyone have any suggestions?
[21:14] <geekphreak> howdy
[21:14] <Slart> fedora_newb: oh.. no, it will check different mail-boxes for you and display a notification when you get new mail, clicking the icon then starts thunderbird
[21:14] <DrGrov> jimcooncat: Ok, no worries then. It just seems like many using 10.04 has this problem.
[21:15] <pfifo> How do the developers of ubuntu decide which kernel to use? Do they just drop paper slips in a hat and draw a version number at random?
[21:15] <Emanon> DHCPACK: you check the home folder? maybe desktop icons just turned off
[21:15] <geekphreak> guys anyone else faced issue with ubuntu, during chkrootkit scam /var/run/utmp shell open warning?
[21:15] <guntbert> !ot | pfifo
[21:15] <grumbly> Ok... So Mplayer wont load.  Where are the relevant logs?
[21:15] <DHCPACK> Emanon: The icons haven't been turned off, we checked :/
[21:15] <fedora_newb> Slart, but i have to have thunderbird opened for it to check?
[21:15] <DrGrov> jimcooncat: Otherwise it is not such a big problem but it kind of annoys the living hell out me since I can not work at all with this issue hanging around.
[21:15] <pat|nG> what's the command to uninstall avant window navigator thru the terminal?
[21:15] <jimcooncat> DrGrov: just for my own enlightenment, can you give me a couple words describing the problem? Is this graphics? gdm?
[21:15] <Slart> pfifo: I think they have a "freeze date" and then they take whatever is working best at that moment and start testing
[21:15] <geekphreak> pat|nG: apt-get remove --purge app_name
[21:15] <pfifo> guntbert, How is that off topic?
[21:16] <erUSUL> DHCPACK: maybe everything is there still if he runs « nautilus ~/Desktop » does it see his fies ?
[21:16] <Slart> fedora_newb: nope.. mail-notification checks the mailboxes itself
[21:16] <erUSUL> files*
[21:16] <tim__> how do i change default runlevel?
[21:16] <wuschelhase> erUSUL: He already got it off and tried to enable it again ... sudo modprobe -style
[21:16] <geekphreak> anyone else got chkroot kit warning off open shell and should i worry/
[21:16] <DHCPACK> erUSUL: We're just trying that now :)
[21:16] <DrGrov> jimcooncat: It is a GDM problem. I do not get a shutdown/suspend option in GDM nor does the reboot work in GDM. When I log in I can not restart even though I have the option there. No shutdown when I logged in. The only way is to log out, drop down to terminal 1, log in and sudo reboot.
[21:16] <guntbert> pfifo: how was that a support question? this channel is not meant for discussing merely ubuntu related things
[21:17] <Emanon> seriously gunt youve been throwing that stuff around all day like a hall monitor
[21:17] <guntbert> !runlevel | tim__
[21:17] <Exxon> hi
[21:17] <pfifo> Slart, working best how? do they run more then one testing or best as in what kernel.org recommends?
[21:17] <DHCPACK> erUSUL: That comes back empty :(
[21:17] <jimcooncat> DrGrov: now I see. What about trying an alternate DM, like Slim?
[21:17] <Emanon> you sure you used the right fricative to spell your name?
[21:17] <fedora_newb> Ok sounds like what I am wanting, thanks for the help Slart, do appreciate it
[21:17] <geekphreak> can anyone help please/
[21:17] <erUSUL> wuschelhase: maybe putting the driver name in the MODULES variable in /etc/default/acpi-support ?
[21:17] <Slart> pfifo: I don't know the specifics.. try #ubuntu-offtopic
[21:17] <erUSUL> DHCPACK: does he remember the  name of any of the files ?
[21:17] <Slart> fedora_newb: you're welcome
[21:17] <DrGrov> jimcooncat: The strange thing is that it does work from time to time. But not so often. A week ago it worked flawlessly everything for about 150 boots until last night when the thing reappeared.
[21:17] <grumbly> Ok... So Mplayer wont load.  What and Where are the relevant logs?
[21:18] <erUSUL> DHCPACK: « find ~/ -name '*partofname*' -print »
[21:18] <darrend> anyone able to tell me why my removable media provokes no response at all when plugged in??
[21:18] <DHCPACK> erUSUL: okay, we'll have a go ^_^
[21:18] <geekphreak> none helps
[21:18] <jimcooncat> DrGrov: you can bet with a bug like that it will take many manhours to resolve
[21:18] <Emanon> u check for it in partition manager darrend?
[21:18] <erUSUL> darrend: see the conf in nautilus preferences
[21:18] <Emanon> maybe it has a bad FS for no apparent reason
[21:18] <guntbert> !patience | geekphreak
[21:18] <DrGrov> jimcooncat: Yeah and the biggest problem is that I can not work at all when I have this problem....
[21:18] <Slart> darrend: nothing in the syslog when you connect it?
[21:19] <geekphreak> guntbert: :)
[21:19] <Slart> darrend: try opening a terminal and running "tail -f /var/log/syslog" then connect/disconnect your external things
[21:19] <darrend> Slart: nope.  After a reboot it works once (perfectly) then after unplugging and re-plugging, nothing.
[21:19] <geekphreak> guntbert: ever encountered chkrootkit warning of open shell?
[21:19] <NoTownKasper> System: Ubuntu 10.04, right out of the box with the exception of a few updates and firefox plugins...but the whole system is incredibly flaky on resolving hostnames. So far the only workaround I've found has been to completely re-configure my network settings, watch the new config fail even harder and then reset to original settings. Any ideas what's causing this and how to fix it?
[21:19] <jimcooncat> DrGrov: if you have a single-user system, and only use the same type of session (like Gnome), how about bypassing GDM completely?
[21:19] <darrend> never see anything in the logs second time
[21:19] <darrend> Slart: ^^
[21:19] <guntbert> geekphreak: no, sorry
[21:19] <kbot6789> hi guys im looking for some help installing a game
[21:20] <erUSUL> !ipv6 | NoTownKasper
[21:20] <Emanon> !details \ kbot6789
[21:20] <erUSUL> NoTownKasper: try disabling ipv6
[21:20] <Emanon> !details | kbot6789
[21:20] <NoTownKasper> Thank you, but IPV6 is disabled.
[21:20] <NoTownKasper> :P
[21:20] <Slart> darrend: hmm.. might be something wrong with the external thing.. you usually get some kind of error message or something in the logs when you plug something in
[21:20] <fedora_newb> Slart, how do I add Thunderbird to the mailboxes?
[21:20] <DrGrov> jimcooncat: Yes, that could be a solution. Though I am really feeling bad about this that the problem is a major problem which has to do with GDM but indirectly.
[21:20] <kbot6789> i need some help installing a game called freecraft but i dont even know how to install anything in linux
[21:20] <darrend> Slart: I've tried restarting hald, acpid, udev and several kernel modules.  No luck (and no syslog messages!)
[21:21] <Slart> fedora_newb: you don't add thunderbird.. you add the mail-accounts you want to check.. imap/pop or whatever it is
[21:21] <warflyr> kbot6789 look for the manual or faq for freecraft
[21:21] <erUSUL> darrend: should be "udisks" not hald in recent ubuntu
[21:21] <Emanon> kbot6789: in terminal Applications>Accessories>Terminal type sudo apt-get install freecraft
[21:21] <Slart> fedora_newb: basically the same information you enter in the "Add account" wizard in thunderbird
[21:21] <kbot6789>  thare is not one sadly
[21:21] <darrend> erUSUL: ah.. is that a daemon?
[21:21]  * darrend checks..
[21:21] <kbot6789> i'll try to figure it out
[21:21] <erUSUL> darrend: yes and a command
[21:21] <fedora_newb> Oh ok, thanks again Slart...lol... <--newb ...
[21:21] <NoTownKasper> erUSUL: I should point out, IPV6 is disabled and at the moment and my ability to connect to IRC is a lucky fluke, nothing else will resolve. I can't even open google.
[21:22] <erUSUL> darrend: pgrep -l udisk
[21:22] <kbot6789> its a bin file i have no idea on how to install it
[21:22] <geekphreak> anyone else encountered chkrootkit warning?
[21:22] <erUSUL> NoTownKasper: tried using google or opendns DNS servers ? ( instead of what you are using now)
[21:22] <darrend> erUSUL: got it.. what's the command to restart it?  There's no init.d for it..
[21:22] <warflyr> NoTownKasper may want to start trying some tracert, digs, nmaps, telnets, etc ;)
[21:22] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: what are you trying to install ?
[21:22] <erUSUL> darrend: no just to check that they are running
[21:23] <darrend> erUSUL: yes, they are
[21:23] <kbot6789> a game called freecraft its a linux version i guese of starcraft
[21:23] <VikasSingh01> we can use antivirus in ubuntu ?
[21:23] <DrGrov> jimcooncat: My main scare is that I keep losing some information like work email on the Webmail or something else since I need to reboot over and over again.
[21:23] <panfist> jrib re add-apt-repository, i don't think i installed anything that would modify apt... just apache, django, postgres, postfix, git, some other little crap
[21:23] <guntbert> !av | VikasSingh01
[21:23] <jimcooncat> DrGrov: you shouldn't feel bad. Report it, work around it, forget it until next release. The world will keep spinning.
[21:23] <erUSUL> darrend: checked the nautilus preferences ?
[21:23] <kbot6789> but its a bin file so i have no idea on how to install it
[21:24] <darrend> erUSUL: don't get that far.. the device never appears in /dev
[21:24] <DrGrov> jimcooncat: Yeah but it is really really painful since I work on this machine. Everything I do I do on this machine.
[21:24] <kbot6789> if i could i would throw the link up so you could see what im talking about
[21:24] <Emanon> kbot6789 freecraft was discontinued for copyright concerns the new version is called Stratagus
[21:24] <guntbert> kbot6789: where did you get it? ask them
[21:24] <VikasSingh01> u mean its also a antivirus
[21:24] <NoTownKasper> erUSUL: yeah, I'm playing with firefox right now while talking to you guys, trying to see if I can get it to the ubuntu forums to make sure I really do have ipv6 disabled, and I tried switching to a couple DNS servers I keep reserved for just such situations...still nothing. Still incredibly flakey. Was working perfect yesterday...and today...it's like dialup on an early 90's cell phone. :P
[21:24] <DrGrov> jimcooncat: I just hate to see some webmails lost or some important work stuff lost due to a constant rebooting.
[21:24] <DHCPACK> erUSUL: We keep getting aborted messages :/
[21:24] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: in a terminal, chmod +x filename.bin; ./filename.bin
[21:24] <kbot6789> its just on a website
[21:24] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: but you should look for a .deb package
[21:24] <darrend> erUSUL: I'm running the udisks-daemon in foreground to see what happens (after killing existing process)
[21:24] <erUSUL> DHCPACK: did you run a fsck ( filesystem check ) on the partition ?
[21:24] <wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww> anyone have an idea on how i might open up a stream with vlc with autohotkey?
[21:25] <Emanon> kbot6789: http://stratagus.sourceforge.net/
[21:25] <panfist> from this page, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/CommandLine, Ubuntu 9.10, Karmic Koala, introduces a convenient new command for adding Launchpad PPA repositories via the command line: add-apt-repository.
[21:25] <panfist> is there a reason this isn't in the current version?
[21:25] <kbot6789> ok ilove i'll try that real quick thank you
[21:25] <geekphreak> oh :(
[21:25] <panfist> or at least, why wouldn't it be in my version...i dont think i've done anything to modify the way apt behaves
[21:25] <wwwwwwwwwwwwwwww> i mean i know how to do it in linux its just vlc rtp://myip:port
[21:25] <DHCPACK> erUSUL: No, not yet, I'm going to guess we'll have to run that from a live disk or something?
[21:25] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: try this package first http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/freecraft/freecraft_1.18-2.2_i386.deb
[21:26] <jimcooncat> DrGrov: I wouldn't put up with it. I'd rather type "startx" after logging in. But I'm sure it would be very simple to get that to work automatically too.
[21:26] <Emanon> oh there you go good one ilovefairuz
[21:26] <erUSUL> DHCPACK: you can do « sudo touch /forcefsck » and reboot
[21:26] <DrGrov> jimcooncat: Yeah, I kind of hope it would work automatically. The problem seems to be related to consolekit somehow.
[21:26] <DHCPACK> erUSUL: alright, thankyou :)
[21:27] <jimcooncat> DrGrov: I think that's what threw me. I don't know what "consolekit" is at all.
[21:27] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: download it and this one too http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fcmp/fcmp_1.18.20030311-2_all.deb .. and do the following in a terminal: sudo gdebi freecraft_1.18-2.2_i386.deb fcmp_1.18.20030311-2_all.deb
[21:27] <geekphreak> can anyone please help?
[21:27] <DrGrov> jimcooncat: Me neither, trying to learn about it now. It is just gibberish for me LOL
[21:27] <warflyr> gdebi = dpkg install?
[21:27] <kbot6789> ok i'll try it thanks
[21:27] <erUSUL> warflyr: yes
[21:28] <geekphreak> erUSUL: can you help?
[21:28] <ilovefairuz> warflyr: yes with resolved dependencies

[21:29] <erUSUL> geekphreak: what is the problem/question ?
[21:29] <geekphreak> NoTownKasper: asked 3 times
[21:29] <warflyr> geekphreak often if you dont get a reply, your question was not good enough
[21:29] <darrend> erUSUL: nothing doing with udisks.  Restarting the udisks-daemon makes no difference either :/
[21:30] <jimcooncat> DrGrov: it is part of the fast user switching setup. not very relevant to your situation, if you're the only user!
[21:30] <erUSUL> darrend: :/ sorry
[21:30] <sjefen6> How can I find out what actions that are assignable in "/etc/bluetooth/input.conf"?
[21:30] <geekphreak> erUSUL: i am getting warning errors with chkrootkit that shell is open, not rootkit was detected though, have you seen it before
[21:30] <darrend> erUSUL: np, thanks for the pointers
[21:30] <DrGrov> jimcooncat: Yeah but it seems to strike at everytime. Now I do have my fiancee as a second user on the box too but she seldomly logs in.
[21:30] <erUSUL> geekphreak: sorry never used that software
[21:30] <Mrokii> Hello. Can somebody tell me how I can change the language used for apps started in the terminal? I have started "vimtutor" for example, but it shows up in the "wrong" language (not the one I want).
[21:30] <geekphreak> ok thanks
[21:31] <kbot6789> how do you copy on xchat ? lol
[21:31] <geekphreak> kbot6789: cli?
[21:31] <willeb> Hi, how do I transfer and convert *.avi and *.img to my ipod nano g5 easiest?
[21:31] <kbot6789> tried it hate me
[21:31] <pat|nG> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ2W1uH7NzM <---can anyone tell me how to get something like this kind of a desktop? :( been using awn but it seems i dont get something like this help pls
[21:31] <erUSUL> !info arista | willeb
[21:32] <geekphreak> kbot6789: are you running cli mode?
[21:32] <warflyr> geekphreak, try: sudo chrootkit &
[21:32] <Emanon> !info rhythmbox | willeb
[21:32] <shane2peru> virtual machine or vbox?  What is easier and more useful?
[21:32] <DrGrov> jimcooncat: What is the PPA then? I see that there is a fix for this but I do not know how to install this fix.
[21:32] <VikasSingh01> how people use linux ?
[21:32] <geekphreak> warflyr: i did try that, still got it
[21:32] <brime> I am having trouble installing ubuntu server; It gets to 75% and asks me to change media
[21:32] <warflyr> geekphreak, may also want to try: sudo nohup chrootkit
[21:32] <kbot6789> no just xchatr i downloaded from ubuntu
[21:32] <NoTownKasper> erUSUL: Ok, after much poking and prodding at firefox I got it to the link you gave me, and checked. Yes, IPV6 is disabled. Further testing with spare DNS servers (two different ones.) is showing the same problem...though admittedly the DNS servers I'm using aren't supposed to be for public use. :P
[21:32] <iceroot> shane2peru: use vbox, its in the repos and very powerfull
[21:32] <VikasSingh01> its urgent......
[21:32] <VikasSingh01> tell me
[21:32] <jimcooncat> DrGrov: I don't know what PPA you're referring to. Personally, I distrust them.
[21:33] <iceroot> VikasSingh01: you have a support question?
[21:33] <jrib> panfist: install the package I told you if you want that command.  If you're using server instead of desktop, it's likely not installed by default
[21:33] <shane2peru> iceroot, I used it before, are there still tricks to setting up USB with vbox?
[21:33] <BluesKaj> !linux | VikasSingh01
[21:33] <DHCPACK> erUSUL: that command (sudo touch /forcefsck) didn't work :/
[21:33] <DrGrov> jimcooncat: Ok, It seems like there is some kind of fix for this but I just need to find the PPA to install and it should work.
[21:33] <geoffmcc> when people say you shouldnt install packages of certain things is that cause it may be outdated?
[21:33] <Emanon> VikasSingh01: repeat that in coherent english please?
[21:33] <erUSUL> DHCPACK: then use gparted from a livecd
[21:34] <DHCPACK> erUSUL: okay, though it would have to go like that..
[21:34] <Emanon> (sudo touch /forcefsck)= raep?
[21:34] <NoTownKasper> BTW, that how-to should be updated...it's like 5 releases old. lol
[21:35] <ilovefairuz> geoffmcc: you generally should refrain from installing packages from unofficial repositories
[21:35] <warflyr> VikasSingh01 if youre seriously looking for an answer to "how people use linux?'; really your best answer is: 'same way they use any OS'
[21:35] <iceroot> shane2peru: yes, use the non-free version, the free version doesnt have usb-support
[21:35] <ilovefairuz> !manual | VikasSingh01
[21:35] <DrGrov> How do I install PPA?
[21:35] <geoffmcc> ilovefairuz: one example would be i heard people say not to install ssh package- should be compiled from source
[21:35] <geekphreak> warflyr: thanks for help
[21:35] <NoTownKasper> geoffmcc: there's lots of reasons. It might be out-dated, it not be from a trustworthy developer, it could be poorly written to require non newbiefriendly interaction...lots of reasons.
[21:35] <warflyr> geekphreak did that work?
[21:35] <kbot6789> hmm i did sudo said file not found
[21:36] <pat|nG> anyone?
[21:36] <geekphreak> warflyr: still getting it, no rootkit found though, rkhunter comes clean
[21:36] <pat|nG> i need to customize my desktop
[21:36] <geoffmcc> NoTownKasper: i just worried cause i could not get libssh2 to compile so i settled using libssh2-1-dev and libssh2-php
[21:36] <erUSUL> zex: as i said in bash; you have to use an interactive shell for repairing your system. there is no point of doing a script for it
[21:36] <Emanon> pat|nG: you and half the obviously blind desktop users
[21:36] <warflyr> geekphreak hmmm, well im not sure what else... good luck though
[21:36] <brime> hello, I am having a problem installing ubuntu server 9.10 and 10.4
[21:36] <lucenut> Hi guys. I just installed medibuntu.
[21:36] <ilovefairuz> geoffmcc: you shouldn't compile from source unless you need to change build flags to add or remove specific features or when there are no packages available
[21:36] <geekphreak> warflyr: you think its a sign of getting hacked?
[21:36] <lucenut> I am trying to burn an avi to a dvd.
[21:36] <Emanon> what you need help with pat|nG
[21:37] <warflyr> geekphreak no
[21:37] <lucenut> Can someone tell me how. :-)
[21:37] <Emanon> lucenut: brasero
[21:37] <zex> erUSUL; Why not?
[21:37] <geekphreak> warflyr: ok thanks
[21:37] <DrGrov> jimcooncat: Should I try to get myself logged in automatically without using GDM?
[21:37] <Emanon> it has an option to make dvd and its preinstalled on ubuntu
[21:37] <NoTownKasper> pat|nG: Since you didn't really ask a question...let me point you in the direction of gnome-look.org. A great place to start customizing your Ubuntu desktop with wallpapers, themes and whatnot.
[21:38] <erUSUL> zex: not worth the hassle. do you plan to be rescuing your system from this same breakage everyday ?? or even once a month?
[21:38] <geoffmcc> ilovefairuz, NoTownKasper thank you
[21:38] <jimcooncat> DrGrov: I wouldn't go that far, especially with another user on the machine. I'd want a text-based login, and have it start my graphical session after login.
[21:39] <warflyr> jimcooncat $ sudo update-rc.d gdm none
[21:39] <lucenut> Wow, it looks like it's going to be simple with Brasero! Thanks.
[21:39] <jimcooncat> DrGrov: Or just replace GDM with something else
[21:40] <zex> erUSUL; I am building a catalog of scripts consisting of things I have done and learned.  Partitally for reference.  So many things that I have done, I have forgotten, but if I had a script for them I would be able to look them up if I ever had the problem again.
[21:40] <jimcooncat> warflyr: thanks for that, but it looks like DrGrov left the building.
[21:40] <NoTownKasper> Ok, to rehash: I'm running Ubuntu Desktop 10.04. IPv6 is disabled but I'm still having horrible troubles resolving hostnames, even with various DNS servers. It's at the point now that the internet is about 90% un-useable...I'm lucky I can get here. Any suggestions?
[21:40] <Emanon> you're welcome lucenut
[21:41] <zex> erUSUL; I realized that Is why it has been so difficult for me to fully understand and learn Linux; because I don't keep track of what I learn.
[21:41] <erUSUL> zex: just writte the steps you do with explanation in a text file
[21:41] <zex> ls
[21:41] <warflyr> NoTownKasper make sure you dont have 2 default gateways
[21:41] <Emanon> zex: sudo apt-get install brain ?
[21:41] <NoTownKasper> warflyr: Excuse me? 'splain please?
[21:42] <iceroot> Emanon: we dont need that here. thank you
[21:42] <warflyr> NoTownKasper, $ route -n; are there two gateways at the bottom with dest <IP_ADDRESS>?
[21:42] <Emanon> oh i was being facetious and you know it
[21:42] <lucenut> Ah crap. When trying to burn an avi to DVD with Brasero it errors saying "All required applications and libraries are not installed. Please install the following manually and try again: mplex (GStreamer plugin)"
[21:42] <warflyr> lucenut: $sudo apt-get install mplex
[21:42] <NoTownKasper> warflyr: Nope, just the one.
[21:42] <Emanon> i told a guy a a pickaxe was the fastest way to safe mode a minute ago you think im serious?
[21:42] <trojan_spike> lucenut, dive DeveDe ago.. i think its one of the best
[21:43] <Emanon> he could install brainvisa i suppose
[21:43] <warflyr> NoTownKasper; what happens if you tracepath <IP_ADDRESS>?
[21:43] <trojan_spike> give (dive)
[21:43] <zex> Emanon; I have come to realize that it must be my fault that I am only who I am.  That's ok I have gotten used to being myself.
[21:43] <Emanon> see iceroot valuble life lessons self empowerment and so forth
[21:43] <Emanon> your welcome
[21:43] <NoTownKasper> warflyr: Want the whole output?
[21:43] <digitalfiz> so whats a good business card making program for ubuntu?
[21:43] <Emanon> ;-) zex
[21:43] <geoffmcc> warflyr: sidenote - have u noticed google dns got way slower
[21:44] <warflyr> genewitch yeah ive noticed at times its slow or from certain locations
[21:44] <Emanon> digitalfiz: http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/1000428 ?
[21:44] <warflyr> s/genewitch/geoffb
[21:45] <geoffmcc> warflyr: i thik more people use now or something, used to be blazing fast
[21:45] <Emanon> digitalfiz: or http://thedailyubuntu.blogspot.com/2008/01/glabels-business-card-and-label-creator.html perhaps
[21:45] <digitalfiz> thanks Emanon ill check them out
[21:45] <warflyr> geoffmcc im sure its activity is probably somewhat exponential
[21:45] <Emanon> no prob digitalfiz have fun
[21:46] <warflyr> NoTownKasper, does it actually get to <IP_ADDRESS>?
[21:46] <lucenut> I tried "$sudo apt-get install mplex" and it says "E: Could not open locl file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: permission denied)
[21:46] <NoTownKasper> warflyr:  don't know, it gets about 5 hops down then starts getting a butt-load of "no reply"s.
[21:46] <Emanon> did you include that $?
[21:47] <warflyr> NoTownKasper; try to tracepath yahoo.com; does it stop at the same place?
[21:47] <lucenut> Yes, I included the $.
[21:47] <lucenut> Was I supposed to?
[21:47] <Emanon> try without the $
[21:47] <warflyr> i guess tracepath <IP_ADDRESS> since your dns doesnt work o.0
[21:48] <NoTownKasper> warflyr:  first 3 hops, fine, 4 and 5, no reply 6-12 fine, then nothing but no-replys...
[21:48] <Emanon> $ is not something you type in but if someone puts it in front of a command they are telling you to run the command as a regular user
[21:48] <lucenut> Now it read the package lists built dependency tree and read state info. But says "E: Couldn't find package mplex"
[21:48] <Emanon> # would denote running the command as root lucenut
[21:49] <lucenut> Ah, thanks.
[21:49] <Emanon> that means you did it right but it didnt have that package available for install
[21:49] <NoTownKasper> warflyr: oddly enough though, I tracepath'd yahoo.com and it sprung into action. :\ but my browser won't resolve much of anything.
[21:49] <wieshka> hey there - quick question ... i am now making my hdds for RAID 1 array from ubuntu live cd
[21:49] <wieshka> with gparted & mdadm
[21:49] <wieshka> i have to pslit /boot partition out of array
[21:49] <wieshka> or ubuntu & grub 2 will recognize it ?
[21:49] <warflyr> NoTownKasper, oh, if its your browser causing the problem; im not sure, youll have to look at its logs and maybe check out its wiki or irc chan
[21:50] <Emanon> and if it makes you feel better lucenut i have a ton of repos and i dont have mplex either
[21:50] <Emanon> what did you need it for?
[21:50] <NoTownKasper> warflyr: Well, earlier it was everything. Pidgin, audacious, Evolution, nothing would resolve...I'm starting to think it's an external issue with my ISP...
[21:50] <Emanon> wieshka: /boot must be separate
[21:51] <NoTownKasper> warflyr: Except the other machines on the network never have troubles. :\
[21:51] <wieshka> Emanon: so i need to create /boot on sda only or on sdb also ?
[21:51] <lucenut> OK, what's another way to burn a avi to a dvd besides Brasero?
[21:51] <wieshka> and what about swap ?
[21:51] <trojan_spike> wieshka, that can only be done with onboard or PCI raid card
[21:51] <Emanon> and wieshkayou know the ubuntu alt cd can make raids during the install you dont have to create it from a live disk like that
[21:51] <Ganesh_R> Hi Are there any ubuntu applications to access Exchange 2007?
[21:51] <wieshka> Ganesh_R:  maybe thunderbird has exchange support ?
[21:52] <Emanon> oh thats why lucenut? just install ubuntu-restricted-extras that should take care of your format issues
[21:52] <wieshka> Emanon: really switch to alt install just for RAID1?
[21:52] <lucenut> How do I do that?
[21:52] <warflyr> Ganesh_R is firefox connecting to outlook web access an acceptable answer? :)
[21:52] <wieshka> i have mdadm
[21:52] <Emanon> wieshka: thats how i do it
[21:52] <wieshka> after that only i have to chroot and install grub 2 on booth disks
[21:52] <Emanon> wieshka: on a lil 500g R1 myself
[21:52] <Ganesh_R> @wieshka, it has 2003 support but doesnt work for me in 2007. Do you know if there are any seperate plugins for it
[21:52] <wieshka> Emanon: i am worng ?
[21:52] <ilovefairuz> lucenut: mplex is in 'mjpegtools'
[21:53] <Emanon> about what sorry i missed something wieshka
[21:53] <wieshka> Ganesh_R: sorry - i prefer zimbra - no problems with zimbra :)
[21:53] <warflyr> Ganesh_R, im pretty sure any application other than outlook or win mobile active sync uses OWA to connect to exchange;
[21:53] <wieshka> Emanon: lets make summary ....
[21:53] <Emanon> oh no making raids in alt disk requires no manual commands
[21:53] <Ganesh_R> @warflyr: Unfortunately not :( I use too much email to rely on OWA
[21:53] <wieshka> i should split both disks in two partitions
[21:53] <Emanon> no wieshka
[21:54] <wieshka> one for raid 1 array one for boot
[21:54] <lucenut> It shows I have mjpegtools installed.
[21:54] <Emanon> you just start the alt disk pick the raid option and tell it what 2 disks to use
[21:54] <Emanon> it will handle the rest
[21:54] <Emanon> just make sure you have a separate /boot partition defined
[21:54] <Ganesh_R> Evolution used to work fine till 2003. But MSFT rewrote their OWA client to make it difficult for applications to write web clients
[21:54] <wieshka> alt install has install as ubuntu-server ?
[21:54] <Ganesh_R> causing lot of heartache to new Ubuntu users like me :(
[21:54] <wieshka> type of install methodic
[21:55] <Emanon> alt install is a desktop install sorry wieshka
[21:55] <edbian> Can I fit Ubuntu Netbook Edition on a 1Gb usb drive?
[21:55] <wieshka> so ok - lets download alt install ... :)
[21:55] <Emanon> yes edbian
[21:55] <edbian> Emanon, Well excellent :)
[21:56] <ilovefairuz> lucenut: is that for brasero? then it's gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse
[21:56] <Ganesh_R> @edbian, yes 1GB is enough
[21:56] <Emanon> wieshka: its fairly simple if you're used to cli installs it should be a breeze
[21:56] <ilovefairuz> !who | lucenut
[21:56] <darrend> erUSUL: I think my problem is a USB hub issue.. the card reader is in the side of the monitor.. unplugging and re-plugging the USB lead from the monitor to the USB controller in the PC makes everything visible again
[21:56] <NoTownKasper> warflyr: ...Ok...deus ex machina, I swear. Everything is working fine now...but I'll probably be back here if the issue crops up again. Before I go though, ever hear about P2P programs causing troubles like this? Perhaps even to other machines on a network?
[21:56] <wieshka> Emanon: i prefer debian for servers - and debian has very nice graphical install for server version, but cli basicly is the same
[21:56] <Emanon> as one who has set up encrypted lvm raids on slackware the alt disk for ubu is a breeze wieshka
[21:56] <wieshka> so ok - i will switch to alt install
[21:57] <wieshka> but main question was - about splitting HDDs
[21:57] <kbot6789> ilove you tossed me a link on a stratigy game creater do you still have the link ?
[21:57] <warflyr> NoTownKasper, p2p using excessive upload bandwidth can cause tons of problem up to the bottleneck
[21:57] <ilovefairuz> !tab | kbot6789
[21:57] <wieshka> so i have to pslit it identically in two partitions
[21:57] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: i gave you links for the actual game
[21:57] <Ganesh_R> is there a sepreate support channel for newbies to linux? I can see this channel is quite large
[21:57] <wieshka> one as /boot outside of array
[21:57] <wieshka> and one for array
[21:57] <lucenut> @ilovefairuz The only gstreamer I see in the software center says it's already installed.
[21:57] <wieshka> i am correct ?
[21:57] <Emanon> oh yes sorry you're right there
[21:58] <lucenut> GStreamer ffmpeg video plugin
[21:58] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/freecraft/freecraft_1.18-2.2_i386.deb and http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fcmp/fcmp_1.18.20030311-2_all.deb
[21:58] <kbot6789> ahh for some reason they would not work hmm
[21:58] <wieshka> after that i can make LVM 2 on raid array
[21:58] <Exxon> Ganesh_R, relax you will get used to it. :)
[21:58] <Emanon> id say give /boot no less than 64m (i give mine 256 just in case)
[21:58] <edbian> Ganesh_R, #ubuntu-beginners
[21:58] <NoTownKasper> warflyr: Thought so...whenever someone around here boots up eMule or one of it's clones...the whole network goes down for the rest of us...I thought it was connected to my issue for a while, until a couple days ago. Alright, thanks for the info and the assistance. As always, the Ubuntu support can't be beat. :P
[21:58] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: what error are you getting when you try to install them?
[21:58] <pat|nG> what is lucid lynx? how to i know if im using lucid lynx?
[21:58] <wieshka> 256 mb should be more then inaf
[21:58] <Emanon> and lvm will let you define your swap on a single raid instead of making a separate raid for swap wieshka
[21:59] <wieshka> Emanon: aha :)
[21:59] <ilovefairuz> lucenut: sudo apt-get install  gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse
[21:59] <Ganesh_R> @pat|ng - Lucid Lynx is Ubuntu 10.04
[21:59] <kbot6789> wrong architecture im running 64 bit
[21:59] <Emanon> wieshka: or you can do what i did dont make swap partition just make swap file
[21:59] <wieshka> Emanon: also the solution
[21:59]  * NoTownKasper has paid hundreds of dollars to "the other guys" for support that was never this helpfull...you guys rock. Adios.
[21:59] <Emanon> since with swap file you can easily change swap size on the fly
[21:59] <kbot6789> i donot know if thares a 64 bit version
[21:59] <Emanon> just swapoff dd to new size swapon
[21:59] <wieshka> Emanon: isnt swap as file  performance hit ?
[22:00] <chadwin> hi guys!!!!!
[22:00] <Emanon> not very much if any anymore
[22:00] <Emanon> least what i heard
[22:00] <Emanon> !hi | chadwin
[22:00] <kbot6789> i told you ilove i got no idea what im doing ju7st trying to find a decent game
[22:00] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: for 64bit: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/freecraft/freecraft_1.18-2.2_amd64.deb and http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fcmp/fcmp_1.18.20030311-2_all.deb
[22:00] <Charbel> hi
[22:00] <wieshka> and one more question - how stable is ext4 ? or better choose ext3 for production ?
[22:00] <edbian> wieshka, ext4 is stable now.
[22:00] <Ganesh_R> Is there any way to decode AVI files to MP4 format in Linux. I use Handbrake on windows but they dont supply binaries for Linux
[22:01] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: when addressing someone, type the first few letters and press tab
[22:01] <Charbel> how can i install paltalk on ubuntu 10
[22:01] <ilovefairuz> Ganesh_R: ffmpeg
[22:01] <kbot6789> hmm
[22:01] <kbot6789> /tmp/freecraft_1.18-2.2_amd64.deb could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred.
[22:01] <edbian> kbot6789, Do you have 64 bit arch?
[22:01] <Ganesh_R> ok i will try to install this using apt-get
[22:02] <edbian> kbot6789, How are you opening it?
[22:02] <Ganesh_R> hope its easy...
[22:02] <wieshka> hmmmmm i have one more problem. ..... i have feeling that alt disk will not recognize my network interface
[22:02] <edbian> Ganesh_R, apt-get is easy
[22:02] <Exxon> Ganesh_R, devede will be better option :)
[22:02] <wieshka> or the driver support is the same as live cd ?
[22:02] <Emanon> Ganesh_R: WARNING PPA deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/handbrake-ubuntu/ppa/ubuntu lucid main #PPA for HandBrake Ubuntu Packagers
[22:02] <kbot6789> gdebi ? ilove
[22:02] <Ganesh_R> Exxon: : lol i meant the fffmpeg
[22:02] <kbot6789> yeah i have 64 bit
[22:03] <edbian> kbot6789, Did the download complete?
[22:03] <wieshka> Ganesh_R: about ffmpeg: installing from apt-get you will not get H264 & VP8 support
[22:03] <kbot6789> no
[22:03] <wieshka> so to gain better video quality you have to compile it
[22:03] <kbot6789> yeah the download is on my desktop
[22:03] <Ganesh_R> Thanks Emanon, I am not sure of how to install from this location
[22:03] <edbian> kbot6789, Can the archive manager open it?
[22:03] <jocrawfo> hey guys is there a setting i have to change in Ubuntu to allow bluetooth devices to wake my system from sleeping?
[22:04] <ilovefairuz> Ganesh_R: ffmpeg is a command line tool, use http://www.miksoft.net/products/mmc_1.6.1_i386.deb if you want a graphical interface
[22:04] <jocrawfo> i ask because i installed ubuntu 10.04 on a macbook pro and want to use my external display
[22:04] <Emanon> oh sorry that was the full sources list entry
[22:04] <Charbel> hi, how can i install paltalk on ubuntu 10 ?
[22:04] <jocrawfo>  but closing the lid puts the system to sleep >)
[22:04] <Emanon> just add everything from deb onward to sources.list
[22:04] <Ganesh_R> thanks ilovefairuz, i am installing this now
[22:04] <Emanon> that is with all warnings about ppas and whatnot
[22:04] <Emanon> !ppa
[22:04] <kbot6789> no ed i tried it just extracts it
[22:05] <kbot6789> i tried ark no luck
[22:05] <edbian> kbot6789, sudo dpkg -i <packageName>.deb
[22:05] <edbian> kbot6789, Should give more output about why it isn't working.  If it works the package will be installed.
[22:05] <kbot6789> ok
[22:05] <edbian> kbot6789, The fact that ark can open it means the file is fine.  That's all ark is supposed to do.
[22:05] <edbian> kbot6789, yeah
[22:05] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: you should NOT extract deb packages, i gave you the command to install it, put them in your home directory and do: sudo gdebi freecraft_1.18-2.2_amd64.deb  fcmp_1.18.20030311-2_all.deb
[22:06] <edbian> kbot6789, try what he said
[22:06] <FalsAlarm> which file do I edit to enable login and password authentication type?
[22:06] <kbot6789> ok brb then
[22:06] <Ganesh_R> Charbel: I am not sure, but can you try this http://www.locohacker.net/Paltalk_Programs/Paltalk_Download/Gaim-pt_1.5.0_Paltalk_Linux_L197.html
[22:06] <Ganesh_R> its a Gaim plugin
[22:06] <jakegub> mgolisch: I'm back and gptsync is saying no GPT partition table present and the MBR partition table is invalid
[22:07] <edbian> Ganesh_R, gaim?  Does that exist anymore?  It's pidgin now
[22:07] <jocrawfo> anyone know?
[22:07] <sebsebseb>
[22:07] <Charbel> Ganesh_R, thx i will check it
[22:07] <wieshka> Emanon: hmmm - then ubuntu-10.04.1-alternate-amd64.iso is that what i have to install ?
[22:08] <Emanon> thats the one i use wieshka
[22:08] <wieshka> ok - looks good - becouse net install will not work on my motherboard
[22:08] <ilovefairuz> Charbel: did you try installing it using wine?
[22:08] <ilovefairuz> !wine | Charbel
[22:08] <wieshka> iso size says, it has driver packages :)
[22:09] <geekphreak> warflyr: are you there still?
[22:09] <Charbel> ilovefairuz, i love her too hahaha no man i didn't try to install it using wine
[22:09] <Ganesh_R> Charbel: Some people say that paltalk on wine hangs a lot
[22:09] <wieshka> what is hat paltalk ?
[22:09] <wieshka> that
[22:10] <wieshka> what it stands for ?
[22:10] <Charbel> yes i read that while i was googling
[22:10] <Ganesh_R> wieshka: Its a kind of IM i think
[22:10] <kbot6789> hmm says file not found
[22:10] <Emanon> yup the alt is the full install not networked
[22:10] <jakegub> So My ubuntu installation is not recognize my working Windows 7 partition.
[22:11] <uLinux> hello!
[22:11] <Emanon> !hi | uLinux
[22:11] <jakegub> I'm on a notebook with a single hard drive and space already partitioned out for my ubuntu installation
[22:11] <wieshka> Ganesh_R: looks like a software chatroullete.com :D
[22:11] <ilovefairuz> Charbel: haha, you should give it a try, the gnu/linux plugin is from 2005 and  doesn't seem to be maintained any longer
[22:11] <geekphreak> good luck jake
[22:11] <Exxon> jakegub, did you use wubi for installation ?
[22:11] <uLinux> I'm gonna delete Windows XP partitio then how can I use that space on Ubuntu?
[22:11] <uLinux> partition
[22:11] <jakegub> No, using the ubuntu iso on a bootable USB
[22:12] <Charbel> hmmmm ok
[22:12] <Charbel> i will try both
[22:12] <kbot6789> ilovefairuz,  says file not found  and i put it in home like you said
[22:12] <geekphreak> uLinux: dual boot, dont delete partitions :)
[22:12] <Emanon> uLinux: you have ubuntu are going to delete windows and want to expand ubuntu to fill the space?
[22:12] <FalsAlarm> how do I set a password for the default ubuntu user?
[22:12] <Charbel> ilovefairuz, ur lebanese right ?
[22:12] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: type 'ls' ... do you see the files?
[22:12] <asdfgh> hi
[22:12] <uLinux> Emanon: exactly
[22:12] <wieshka> uLinux:  so you want to delete windows partition and use it in ubuntu ?
[22:12] <uLinux> yes
[22:12] <geekphreak> FalsAlarm: is home encrypted?
[22:12] <wieshka> !passwd | FalsAlarm
[22:12] <uLinux> I wont use Windows anymore
[22:13] <kbot6789> ilovefairuz,  yeah i see it
[22:13] <Emanon> uLinux: id say install ubuntu from scratch its safer but if you must expand the existing drive try it from a live disk
[22:13] <Ganesh_R> uLinux: I wouldnt either after using Ubuntu, except that all my development happens on it :(
[22:13] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: pastebin the command you're using and the output of 'ls'
[22:13] <Emanon> just expand the ubuntu partition from the live disk's partition manager (gparted/wahtever)
[22:13] <ilovefairuz> !paste | kbot6789
[22:13] <uLinux> Ganesh_R: I just used it for gaming
[22:13] <Emanon> but i still say do a fresh install
[22:13] <jakegub> Exxon: Gparted doesn't recognize the partitions, but Disk Utility does
[22:13] <FalsAlarm> FalsAlarm, i do not know if home is encrypted
[22:14] <uLinux> Emanon: i'd have to make backup of everything too much work
[22:14] <Ganesh_R> ya gaming support on Linux could be better i guess
[22:14] <kbot6789> ilove    sudo gdebi freecraft 1.18-2.2 amd64.deb fcmp 1.18.20030311-2 alldeb
[22:14] <VCoolio> uLinux: reformat the partition with gparted to eg. ext4, change the fstab line if you have it so it will be mounted right and done; you'll still have a separate partition but won't need a fresh install
[22:14] <geekphreak> FalsAlarm: do a df -h , see anything which says .Private ?
[22:14] <Emanon> ok then try your luck expanding it but just know you may lose everything anyways
[22:14] <Emanon> or use it as a separate partition i suppose
[22:14] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: why the missing dashes? '-'
[22:14] <Exxon> jakegub, Gparted should detect fat32 file system.
[22:14] <wieshka> Emanon: why extend if you can just mount it
[22:14] <FalsAlarm> geekphreak, no
[22:15] <wieshka> and forget about it
[22:15] <kbot6789> ok let me try this again this computer hates me
[22:15] <Emanon> wieshka: cause i like continuous filesystems not multiple
[22:15] <jakegub> Exxon: Win7 is on NTFS though.  I had this same setup before I upgraded my hard drive
[22:15] <Exxon> jakegub, Gparted should detect fat32 /NTFS
[22:15] <Emanon> (even if i separate / /usr and /home for obvious reasons)
[22:15] <geekphreak> FalsAlarm: then its not, just open your ubutnu deskop, click prefrences,then about me, change from there
[22:15] <wieshka> Emanon: isnt extending only for LVM enabled partitions ?
[22:15] <uLinux> I just want to delete Win Xp and then expand Ubuntu size
[22:16] <Ganesh_R> Is there a way to make applications start from the terminal?
[22:16] <wieshka> or single ext3/4 also support extend ?
[22:16] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: type the first few letters of the file name (like 'free') and press tab for auto-completion
[22:16] <Ganesh_R> Chrome doesnt start from the terminal. It says command not found
[22:16] <geekphreak> Ganesh_R: as in?
[22:16] <Emanon> no wieshka you can expand other fs's its just not as sure to not screw everything up
[22:16] <FalsAlarm> geekphreak, i dont use a gui, just the CLI hehe
[22:16] <Emanon> lvm its a feature other fs's its a possibility
[22:16] <geekphreak> failure: passwd username , for command
[22:16] <jakegub> Exxon: Yeah, that's what I thought, but it doesn't.  If I open Disk Utility it finds the drive and all three partitions on it.  (100mb windows "swap", 200Gb Win7, and 50Gb unallocated)
[22:16] <jocrawfo> someone here must know this answer..... Is there a way to connect an external display to my macbook pro, close the lid and have the external display become the primary display?  This is the result you get when running Windows/Mac so I am sure there is a way to do this in Ubuntu I am just not sure how.  The closest I got was my laptop screen being on while the lid was closed but that will just burnout the lcd when the extern
[22:16] <jocrawfo> al is being used.  I also have to mirror displays to use that method.
[22:16] <Ganesh_R> Firefox , pidgin can be started by typing the name in the terminal. But Chrome doesnt start like that.
[22:17] <VCoolio> Ganesh_R: try chrome-browser or something, type 'chrom' then hit tab to let it autocomplete, or 'apropos chrome'
[22:17] <jocrawfo> !external
[22:17] <Emanon> uLinux: then use a live disk's partition manager to do so
[22:17] <FalsAlarm> ok i got it, thanks geekphreak
[22:17] <geekphreak> Ganesh_R: its chromium-browser on linux, use that
[22:17] <kbot6789> on
[22:17] <axisys> how do I burn a iso inot a usb drive ? it is not ubuntu iso
[22:17] <wieshka> Ganesh_R: why you need to start chrome fro mterminal ?
[22:17] <Exxon> jakegub, use the unallocated as NTFS from windows and install ubuntu on that drive.
[22:17] <Emanon> axisys: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[22:17] <Ganesh_R> I like using the terminal more
[22:17] <geekphreak> Ganesh_R: sudo apt-get install chromium-browser
[22:17] <warflyr> Emanon i was just pasting that lawl
[22:18] <warflyr> well actually
[22:18] <warflyr> http://www.pendrivelinux.com/boot-multiple-iso-from-usb-multiboot-usb/
[22:18] <axisys> Emanon: thanks.. let me check it out
[22:18] <jakegub> Exxon: You're saying boot back into windows (I'm on linux liveCD right now) and format the unallocated space as NTFS and re-run the installer?
[22:18] <kbot6789> ilovefairuz,  i think it locked up my bash
[22:18] <uLinux> Emanon: Ubuntu 10.04 cd=
[22:18] <uLinux> ?
[22:18] <wieshka> uLinux:  how big is your ubuntu and windows aprtitions ?
[22:18] <geekphreak> hey warflyr  :d
[22:18] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: meaning?
[22:18] <warflyr> hey
[22:18] <Emanon> i use the multiboot to make multi-iso toolkit thumbdrive for my computer repair work warflyr
[22:18] <Ganesh_R> geekphreak: It doesnt recognize my existing chrome install. Is that because i didnt install from ubuntu package repositoy?
[22:18] <Emanon> uLinux: that should work
[22:18] <kbot6789> nevermind i see what you were doing
[22:18] <geekphreak> warflyr: i think i found the issue, not sure
[22:18] <Emanon> long as it's the live version
[22:18] <jocrawfo> anyone???
[22:18] <warflyr> Emanon same here, ive got like 10 isos on it including ubuntu and win7 ;)
[22:18] <geekphreak> Ganesh_R: got from google site?
[22:18] <uLinux> wieshka: windows partition is like 30 gb.. small and ubuntu is huge

[22:19] <geekphreak> oh please
[22:19] <ilovefairuz> !paste > kbot6789
[22:19] <Ganesh_R> geekphreak: yes. Is there a way to create a shortcut for it?
[22:19] <Exxon> jakegub, so u are trying to dual boot, that what it is. :)
[22:19] <geekphreak> Ganesh_R: dont use that, use chromium-brwser instead , it is same minus loopholes from google
[22:19] <axisys> Emanon: that one looks like a exe file
[22:19] <axisys> Emanon: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/downloads/Universal-USB-Installer/Universal-USB-Installer-<IP_ADDRESS>.exe
[22:19] <axisys> i need one for ubuntu
[22:19] <geekphreak> warflyr: can i pm?
[22:19] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: and why are you pasting this?
[22:19] <jakegub> Exxon: Yeah, I forgot to mention that.  This has worked for me in the past.  The fact that Ubuntu doesn't see the partitions any more is the mystery
[22:20] <kbot6789> because i thought you wanted me to
[22:20] <geekphreak> warflyr:  i think i found the issue
[22:20] <uLinux> Emanon: but how do I use live cd if I have Ubuntu already installed
[22:20] <Ganesh_R> geekphreak: Leaving chrome apart, is there a way to move our applications to run directly from the terminal?
[22:20] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: i said type 'free' and press TAB (without pressing Enter) to autocomplete the file name
[22:20] <Emanon> axisys: yea it runs on windows (sorry)
[22:20] <geekphreak> after updating samba, error has gone, so i am guessing it was loophole
[22:20] <axisys> Emanon: yep.. need one for ubuntu
[22:20] <wieshka> Ganesh_R: just call them from terminal
[22:21] <kbot6789> does not do anything
[22:21] <Emanon> uLinux: you dont have to install from the live disk just run it and resize the partition then go back to your system
[22:21] <geekphreak> Ganesh_R: create an alias for full path
[22:21] <wieshka> in case of ssh you need to export DISPLAY="" with correct variable
[22:21] <ilovefairuz> kbot6789: pastebin the output of 'ls'
[22:21] <Ganesh_R> geekphreak: oh is there a command to do it?
[22:21] <Emanon> axisys: might try unetbootin
[22:21] <uLinux> Emanon: using gparted'
[22:21] <uLinux> ?
[22:21] <axisys> Emanon: k
[22:21] <Emanon> yes uLinux
[22:22] <uLinux> Emanon:  but i cant install gparted and do it
[22:22] <uLinux> *can
[22:22] <Emanon> unetbootin should be in your repos axisys
[22:22] <uLinux> why do i need live cd
[22:22] <geekphreak> Ganesh_R: add alias chrome=/path  in you $home/.bashrc
[22:22] <wieshka> uLinux: its becouse booting from live cd, your HDD stays unmounted, so you can use live cd gparted fully
[22:22] <Emanon> because you cant resize the disk you're on
[22:22] <Emanon> cause you're on it
[22:22] <uLinux> oh
[22:22] <Ganesh_R> ok i will try it. Thanks a lot guys!! 3AM here got to get some sleep
[22:22] <Emanon> it has to be unmounted to alter its size like that
[22:23] <geekphreak> i think warflyr  left
[22:23] <uLinux> so I delete XP partition, boot from Live Cd and use gparted to fill the space
[22:23] <wieshka> you can just boot live cd
[22:23] <Emanon> you can delete the xp on the live disk too
[22:23] <Emanon> either way
[22:23] <wieshka> and delete xp from live disk
[22:24] <Emanon> but yes basically that uLinux
[22:24] <ilovefairuz> !who | wieshka
[22:24] <Somelauw> Should I install Silverlight on ubuntu?
[22:24] <Emanon> Somelauw: moonlight is the linux port
[22:25] <l337ingDisorder> Hi, can anyone give me a hand with vnc4server on ubuntu 10.04 ? I have it working, but when I connect it seems to create a new gnome-session instead of just connecting me to the already active session (ie, all the windows I have open don't show up, it looks like a fresh login)
[22:25] <uLinux> wieshka Emanon usually I use XP cd to delete XP partition I never did it using gparted where can I find a guide
[22:25] <wieshka> fuck, why unetbootin isnt ported to MAC OS X - now i have to find where to use it on
[22:25] <Somelauw> Emanon, does it work for all websites?
[22:25] <tim__> Im trying to setup wpa_supplicant over ssh so I'm connected via eth0 but I want to get wlan0 working can some one help? http://pastebin.com/WWnTj3rg
[22:25] <jocrawfo> well i guess it's not possible to do outside of the Nvidia utility, just have to turn the internal display resolution to Off while i am connected to an external
[22:26] <Emanon> Somelauw: i dont know its in dev but i hear some good things
[22:26] <wieshka> uLinux: you will have to just delete partition, where win xp is installed
[22:26] <Somelauw> Does it work for?: http://collegerama.tudelft.nl/mediasite/SilverlightPlayer/Default.aspx?
[22:26] <jocrawfo> what a pain in the rear though, would be nice to have the internal display turn off when the lid closed bleh
[22:26] <Emanon> uLinux: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/
[22:26] <uLinux> wieshka: and then grub is fixed automatically too?
[22:26] <wieshka> uLinux:  and you can save time - do it from gparted, not booting win xp disk also
[22:26] <uLinux> ye
[22:26] <thebotdied[ubunt> hey i need help... when i boot the ubuntu live cd it goes to a black screen
[22:27] <thebotdied[ubunt> and ive tryed wubi also
[22:27] <ilovefairuz> tim__: pgrep wpa_supplicant
[22:27] <antIP> Does anyone here use Rythmbox with Rockbox?
[22:27] <warflyr> thebotdied[ubunt when that hapens to me; i try a different ubuntu version o.0
[22:27] <Roasted> any clues on how to get rid of video tearing? Nvidia 9600GT...
[22:27] <thebotdied[ubunt> well i dont want to be stuck on 9.04
[22:27] <thebotdied[ubunt> that was the last i could run
[22:27] <l337ingDisorder> thebotdied[ubunt: you could try 10.10 beta
[22:28] <tim__> ilovefairuz: theres two processes running
[22:28] <thebotdied[ubunt> is there a torrent for it?
[22:28] <l337ingDisorder> thebotdied[ubunt: the official 10.10 release will be out in a month
[22:28] <ilovefairuz> tim__: killall wpa_supplicant
[22:28] <thebotdied[ubunt> so thats a no
[22:28] <tim__> ilovefairuz: yup
[22:29] <edbian> I installed ubuntu netbook edition to a USB drive but when I boot it one of the partitions on the HDD is mounted at /cdrom (I don't know why) and I try to unmount it with umount which won't work so I throw it the lazy flag and it finally lets me but when the installer starts in crashes every time!
[22:29] <thebotdied[ubunt> i like torrents cuz i can get a 1.6mb/s download easily
[22:29] <l337ingDisorder> thebotdied[ubunt: yeah there should be a torrent for it
[22:29] <thebotdied[ubunt> for 10.10beta?
[22:29] <l337ingDisorder> thebotdied[ubunt: another nice thing about torrents is built-in checksums so no possibility of data corruption during xfer
[22:29] <uLinux> wieshka: gparted will fill the space or just reformat the old xp partition?
[22:30] <thebotdied[ubunt> yep
[22:30] <sebsebseb> thebotdied[ubunt: nice name
[22:30] <thebotdied[ubunt> okay im off to dl it on my macheine. right now im running ubuntu under virtual box
[22:30] <ilovefairuz> tim__: 'killall' is a command
[22:30] <l337ingDisorder> thebotdied[ubunt: got links.. hang on
[22:30] <thebotdied[ubunt> wait let me connect on my pc
[22:30] <thebotdied[ubunt> okay?
[22:31] <l337ingDisorder> thebotdied[ubunt: sure
[22:31] <wieshka> uLinux:  with gparted you can delete xp partition to make it unallocated and then you can try at your own risk to expand your existing ubuntu partition with unallocated space
[22:31] <l337ingDisorder> thebotdied[ubunt: /msg me
[22:31] <ilovefairuz> thebotdied[ubunt: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/
[22:31] <sebsebseb> thebotdied[ubunt: stay in the channel
[22:31] <sebsebseb> ilovefairuz: thats not out yet
[22:31] <uLinux> wieshka: at my own risk? shouldn't gparted be safe
[22:31] <ilovefairuz> sebsebseb: he was looking for a link

[22:32] <l337ingDisorder> errr.. 64 bit
[22:32] <tim__> ilovefairuz: yeah Ive killed wpa and tried to start with sudo wpa_supplicant -Dwext -iwlan0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf but I just get a flashing cursor.
[22:32] <l337ingDisorder> (the extra bit was hiding under the covers)
[22:32] <sebsebseb> thebotdied[ubunt: 9.04 is one of the best releases, it will run out of support at the end of next month,  10.10 final will come out on Sunday the 10th next month, and well if that won't work on your computer,  I expect some other distro would,  and probably not really a good idea for you to get 10.10 just yet
[22:32] <Emanon> not really uLinux thats why i suggested fresh install
[22:32] <ilovefairuz> tim__: that means it's running
[22:32] <Emanon> it usually works fine but occasionally resizing a partition can corrupt data on the partition
[22:32] <pspfreak> ok im thebotdied

[22:33] <gpmidi_wrk> I'm having trouble getting DNATing to work in iptables. Outbound connections are fine. However any inbound to the DNATs I've setup are sliently dropped. I have interfaces up for each IP so it should be ARPing for the IPs. Tcpdumps show the SYN coming in but not leaving. Dmesg only shows rp_filter noise from a misconfigured device on a diff subnet. Other than that there are no relivent logs. Nat policy: http://pastebin.com/yAE8cE24

[22:33] <pspfreak> 32bit?
[22:33] <pspfreak> k
[22:33] <sebsebseb> pspfreak:  9.04 is one of the best releases, it will run out of support at the end of next month,  10.10 final will come out on Sunday the 10th next month, and well if that won't work on your computer,  I expect some other distro would,  and probably not really a good idea for you to get 10.10 just yet
[22:33] <tim__> ilovefairuz: ok now i try to restart see if it comes up on boot
[22:33] <l337ingDisorder> pspfreak: also check out the other options in http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ in case you're installing to a netbook or whatever
[22:33] <onoko> l337ingDisorder: ilovefairuz linked that 2 minutes ago.
[22:33] <humbolt> My RAID disks seem to spin down all the time or doing something else stupid. how can I prevent that from happening?
[22:33] <sebsebseb> !10.10 | l337ingDisorder pspfreak
[22:34] <l337ingDisorder> nods
[22:34] <Emanon> l337ingDisorder: awesome handle dude
[22:34] <l337ingDisorder> (though this close to release time you can be pretty confident in its stability)
[22:34] <l337ingDisorder> Emanon: heheh thanks :)
[22:34] <sebsebseb> l337ingDisorder: not quite
[22:34] <sebsebseb> l337ingDisorder: also there was a Unity update recently that caused a white screen for example
[22:35] <sebsebseb> pspfreak: if you want to get it a bit early, I would suggest the release candidate thats 30th September
[22:35] <Kaspi> greetings
[22:35] <l337ingDisorder> sebsebseb: fair enough.. in my experience the last month or two before releases, the betas have been quite stable (actually I have fairly run-of-the-mill hardware and generally even alpha releases are pretty stable on my gear)
[22:35] <Megazutten> hey
[22:36] <sebsebseb> l337ingDisorder: sounds about right really, but even so, not meant to recommend them to users that aren't that expereinced yet, and I get the impression that pspfreak is one of those
[22:36] <Emanon> afk a bit bbl
[22:37] <l337ingDisorder> sebsebseb: fair enuf, just noticed him saying he didn't want to be stuck with a <10 version
[22:37] <l337ingDisorder> ultimately though, there should be a reason the 10.04 disc boots black
[22:37] <warflyr> i used 8.0x beta up until a month ago o.0
[22:37] <Galeo> Hi everyone. I'm kinda noob with IRC, so sorry for erveything if I don't get it fast enough. I'm looking for someone who could help me use Unetbootin on a IBM, so basically go from Windows to Linux with a USB stick. Can anyone tell me if I'm at the right place, and if yes, can anyone help me ?
[22:37] <sebsebseb> pspfreak: 9.04 is awesome (except for a tiny little feature that I didn't like)
[22:37] <l337ingDisorder> I suspect it's due to the fact that the 10.04 release was the first to abandon the ANSI boot menu and just boot straight to gnome for the installer...
[22:37] <sebsebseb> warflyr: 8.10 is a awesoem unsupported release,  8.04 is still good
[22:37] <edbian> I cannot unmount a partition on my hdd
[22:38] <aeon-ltd> Galeo: if you want ubuntu, yes its the right place
[22:38] <edbian> I tried to umount /dev/sda2 on my system.  Can't unmount it.  I tried fuser mount and killed the process.  No luck.
[22:38] <pspfreak> hey you gave me the 64 bit version twise
[22:38] <Galeo> Yes, I do. ^^
[22:38] <gpmidi_wrk> I'm having trouble getting DNATing to work in iptables. Outbound connections are fine (using SNAT). However any inbound to the DNATs I've setup are sliently dropped. I have interfaces up for each IP so it should be ARPing for the IPs. Tcpdumps show the SYN coming in but not leaving. Dmesg only shows rp_filter noise from a misconfigured device on a diff subnet.

[22:38] <l337ingDisorder> Galeo: you can just install Ubuntu to the USB stick.. then you can put the stick in any windows pc and it should boot to linux
[22:38] <wieshka> sebsebseb: agree - i use 8.10 for vital production cases
[22:38] <l337ingDisorder> pspfreak: rofl sorry, just a sec
[22:38] <ilovefairuz> Galeo: what problems are you having when trying to use unetbootin ?
[22:39] <sebsebseb> l337ingDisorder: there you are recommending a development version, to someone who can't seem to find the correct version for their computer hmm
[22:39] <l337ingDisorder> pspfreak: http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.10/ubuntu-10.10-beta-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
[22:39] <pspfreak> thx
[22:39] <sebsebseb> pspfreak: Why don;'t you want to be on 9.04?
[22:39] <l337ingDisorder> that's a good point - 9.04 is pretty solid
[22:39] <sebsebseb> pspfreak: 9.04 is one of the best versions of Ubuntu
[22:39] <aeon-ltd> Galeo: unetbootin is pretty straight forward, plug in usb(make sure its empty or formatted), start unetbootin select ubuntu (32 or 64 bit) or you can download the iso you want and use it, select what letter the usb stick is and just start the process
[22:40] <rolandpish> How can I "safe" extract a wifi usb dongle?
[22:40] <l337ingDisorder> 9.10 was a bit of a let-down for me, i went back to 9.04 until 10.04 hit beta
[22:40] <sebsebseb> l337ingDisorder: yeah 9.10 was a let down for many
[22:40] <Galeo> ilovefairuz: well, it just doesn't recognize the program
[22:40] <edbian> Any help unmounting a device?
[22:40] <wieshka> edbian: what device ?
[22:40] <ilovefairuz> rolandpish: try: poff
[22:40] <sebsebseb> edbian: try ##linux  ?
[22:40] <l337ingDisorder> sebsebseb: actually 8.10 was a bit of a let-down too... I guess the ubu devs just do better work in the summer heheh
[22:41] <l337ingDisorder> werrr
[22:41] <l337ingDisorder> better work in the winter, that is
[22:41] <ilovefairuz> Galeo: what's the exact error you get?
[22:41] <sebsebseb> l337ingDisorder: no 8.10 is really the last properly good version of Ubuntu,  but explaining why, would be off topic for in here
[22:41] <l337ingDisorder> (I guess the ubu devs just do better drugs in the summer heheheh)
[22:41] <dlublink> how do I determine the driver used for eth0 ?
[22:41] <pspfreak> 1.7mb/s download on this torrent
[22:41] <rolandpish> ilovefairuz, thanks. As root or as a normal user?
[22:41] <pspfreak> :p
[22:41] <edbian> sebsebseb, I will
[22:41] <ilovefairuz> !details | edbian
[22:41] <h00k> Try to keep the conversation on topic of support, please :)
[22:41] <jocrawfo> someone here must know this answer..... Is there a way to connect an external display to my macbook pro, close the lid and have the external display become the primary display?  This is the result you get when running Windows/Mac so I am sure there is a way to do this in Ubuntu I am just not sure how.  The closest I got was my laptop screen being on while the lid was closed but that will just burnout the lcd when the extern
[22:41] <jocrawfo> al is being used.  I also have to mirror displays to use that method.
[22:41] <wieshka> sebsebseb: l337ingDisorder heh i still have server with 6.04 running - and it works like a charm :)
[22:41] <Kaspi> rolandpish: view your devices at Places > Computer, click on the device you want to disconnect with the right mouse button and select "Disconnect" or something
[22:42] <wieshka> on of the servers, correction :)
[22:42] <sebsebseb> l337ingDisorder: 8.10 really was one of the best versions, shame about the no longer supported, as a result
[22:42] <jocrawfo> I turned the internal display off manually in the Nvidia configuration tool but that's a pain to do all the time
[22:42] <ilovefairuz> sebsebseb: Ubuntu IS GNU/Linux.. why are you directing people there?
[22:42] <gpmidi_wrk> I'm having trouble getting DNATing to work in iptables. Outbound connections are fine (using SNAT). However any inbound to the DNATs I've setup are sliently dropped.

[22:42] <ilovefairuz> rolandpish: probably as root
[22:42] <edbian> ilovefairuz, wieshka I have a netbook.  I'm installing ubuntu netbook edition on it.  When I boot up (from the usb drive) /dev/sda2 (my windows xp partition) is mounted at /cdrom.  I can't unmount it.  I tried using fusermount and killing the process.  No such luck.  The installer crashes everytime I think because of this issue.  I am not new to linux.
[22:42] <Galeo> actually, what I have is the following : I tried putting off all starting devices except removable medias, cause it wouldn't let the USB start on its own. The prob is now that I just get a 1962: No operating system found. Press F1 to repeat boot sequence. I noticed there were a few problems with IBM's in general, but it's probably me
[22:42] <sebsebseb> ilovefairuz: since  he wasn't being answered here,  plus I know him on here, so hes fine getting help in ##linux when this channel won't do it for him
[22:42] <l337ingDisorder> wieshka: lol right on... I moved to CentOS for all my server deployments quite some time ago..
[22:43] <rolandpish> Kaspi, I'm under xubuntu and I cannot find the "Computer" place.
[22:43] <wieshka> l337ingDisorder: i have software running what depends on ubuntu 6.04 :)
[22:43] <wieshka> only reason
[22:43] <sebsebseb> ilovefairuz: also Ubuntu is actsaully, becoming well  quite unlike other distros at the moment that use Gnome, but thats completly off topic for this channel
[22:43] <wieshka> l337ingDisorder: for server i prefer debian
[22:43] <aeon-ltd> Galeo: if you've got any other media it will boot from look up http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager.html
[22:43] <ilovefairuz> edbian: what error message does umount report?
[22:44] <wieshka> edbian: sorry, no ideas
[22:44] <l337ingDisorder> wieshka: well if yer gonna run ubu server 6.04 is a good distro, a lot closer to straight deb than any of the more recent distros
[22:44] <ilovefairuz> sebsebseb: you did not even ask for the details of the question
[22:44] <l337ingDisorder> wieshka: and super-small memory footprint compared even to 8.04
[22:44] <edbian> ilovefairuz, /cdrom device is busy
[22:44] <Galeo> I'll read that, I try and I'm back aeon-ltd. Thx. ;)
[22:44] <edbian> ilovefairuz, then it suggests lsof and fuser.
[22:44] <wieshka> l337ingDisorder: as XEN domU it works perfectly :)
[22:45] <Kaspi> rolandpish: i don't know the xubuntu's interface, try looking for something similar
[22:45] <ilovefairuz> edbian: pastebin the output of: sudo fdisk -l; mount
[22:45] <maedox> edbian, lsof /cdrom
[22:45] <l337ingDisorder> wieshka: yeah I have a couple colleagues who are 100% in the debian server camp.. All the servers I maintain are web application servers so CentOS seems to be the best option as it's pretty much centered around web hosting (gets package updates super fast, etc)
[22:45] <fedora_newb> I have hooked up  another monitor to my laptop here and the screen for the laptop is all dark now...like realllyyy dim...anyone know how I can fix this?
[22:46] <l337ingDisorder> wieshka: but for general-purpose servers deb seems to be a good standard for sure
[22:46] <jocrawfo> fedora_newb, try a fedora channel?
[22:46] <edbian> ilovefairuz, I can't.  This is on a different machine
[22:46] <wieshka> l337ingDisorder: what i like in debian - the package will not be launched on repos if they will not be sure for 99% that it is stable
[22:46] <fedora_newb> Its ubuntu....
[22:46] <jocrawfo> ;)
[22:46] <fedora_newb> I should change my nick...but too lazy lol
[22:47] <Jordan_U> edbian: It's odd that your windows partition is mounted to /cdrom in the first place. Can you pastebin the output of "mount" and "sudo blkid"?
[22:47] <l337ingDisorder> wieshka: that tends to be the case with most distros.. CentOS is based on Red Hat so it has the benefit of commercial enterprises demanding faster updates through RHEL (which trickle down almost immediately to the CentOS world and the Fedora world)
[22:47] <edbian> maedox, lsof: two warning about tmpfs /cow and /home/ubuntu/.gvfs
[22:47] <sebsebseb> fedora_newb: oh you started with Fedora?  not really the best distro to start with,  Ubuntu is good to start with, as well as a few others :)
[22:47] <rolandpish> Kaspi, ok, thanks a lot. I'll try first what ilovefairuz suggested, then look for that option.
[22:47] <wieshka> l337ingDisorder: i am basicly running very very complicated web pages and  somesoftware & scripts, so i even do not update, while i havent tested it on develope server
[22:47] <maedox> edbian, /home/ubuntu? are you on a live-cd?
[22:47] <wieshka> so fast updates isnt priority for me
[22:47] <edbian> Jordan_U, I can't pastebin anything.  What do you want to know from mount?  /dev/sda2 on /cdrom type fuseblk (standard options)
[22:47] <l337ingDisorder> wieshka: that said, deb and centos are pretty equally-qualified as server environments :)
[22:48] <fedora_newb> sebsebseb...i started with ubuntu...but I played around with fedora  a bit as well and thats when I started using irc
[22:48] <edbian> maedox, live usb.  I said that
[22:48] <sebsebseb> fedora_newb: oh ok
[22:48] <RockerBoy402> Having problems with Ubuntu 9.10 and an Asus motherboard.  Won't go to sleep after 30 minutes (as is set in power management) and when I do click the sleep button myself it sleeps and wakes right back up.  Also, when computer is idle (or if I hit the sleep button) i have to rmmod b43 and modprobe b43 my wifi drivers...any advice?
[22:48] <maedox> edbian, ok, sorry. didn't notice.
[22:48] <ilovefairuz> edbian: does it have internet access? sudo apt-get install pastebinit, and then: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit - .. and mount | pastebinit -
[22:48] <edbian> ilovefairuz, Hang on a second
[22:48] <fedora_newb> anyone know how i can get the brightness back on my laptop screen though? The brightness level is all the way up on the laptop...so its an ubuntu thing
[22:49] <l337ingDisorder> wieshka: yeah that's the awesome thing about cloud-based servers... for $11/mo you get a dedicated cloud server through rackspace.. then it's like 3 clicks to clone your server if you want to test any new dev project or updates... anything goes wrong, your main server is still untouched (don't even have to roll back snapshots)
[22:49] <wieshka> l337ingDisorder: aha :)
[22:49] <edbian> ilovefairuz, I'll get the target machine online and be right back.
[22:49] <sikilpaake> anybody know how to unzip something from a samba share?
[22:49] <l337ingDisorder> wieshka: and rackspace has pre-built server images (equivalent to Amazon's AMI's) for Debian, Centos, RHEL, Ubuntu (a few versions), etc etc.. also windows servers (lord knows why)
[22:50] <l337ingDisorder> wieshka: (heh that's my rackspace plug.. cause they're awesome)
[22:50] <Jordan_U> edbian: I'm trying to figure out what device is being used to host your root fs. Normally with a unetbootin install that would be the flash drive (mounted to /cdrom) containing the squashfs image which would be mounted with unionfs for your actual root.
[22:50] <wieshka> l337ingDisorder: all my virtual hosts are ~20-50 Gb size (external data storage) - so i just copy LVM partition and small edit in conf file - done - exact copy of develop server ready for tests
[22:50] <wieshka> ]
[22:50] <Jordan_U> edbian: Why can't you use pastebin?
[22:50] <ilovefairuz> sikilpaake: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently
[22:50] <edbian> Jordan_U, I can now.
[22:50] <bfsd> I am trying to install the OTR plugin for pidgin, but i just don't get how to do it. I have downloaded pidgin-otr-3.2.0.tar.gz to download folder.  Then i try "tar zxf pidgin-otr-3.2.0.tar.gz, but only get error message: "tar: pidgin-otr-3.2.0.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory". What to do?
[22:51] <sikilpaake> ilovefairuz: thanks
[22:51] <b0tz> bfsd: i believe theres a .deb?
[22:51] <edbian> Jordan_U, ilovefairuz maedox What command do we want to see in a pasetbin?
[22:51] <pspfreak> im burning the iso now
[22:51] <sebsebseb> b0tz: no you don't need a  tar.gz its in the repo
[22:51] <l337ingDisorder> wieshka: yea more or less the same process heheh.. LVM is the best thing since sliced bread... ;)
[22:51] <sebsebseb> b0tz: then you enable the plugin in pidgin
[22:51] <b0tz> sebsebseb, i know, i alreaydh ave it installed
[22:51] <b0tz> bfsd is the one needin help
[22:51] <_Tristan> I've got lucid on a server and it won't connect to the network over ethernet. It doesn't even show an ethernet interface in /dev or ifconfig. What should I do?
[22:52] <edbian> command(s)
[22:52] <Jordan_U> edbian: "mount" and "sudo blkid".
[22:52] <b0tz> bfsd: i think apt-get install pidgin-otr
[22:52] <wieshka> l337ingDisorder: ofcorse seconf option is to use .img based vhosts, but it is a performace hit for I/O
[22:52] <rww> bfsd: install the "pidgin-otr" package from your preferred package manager (e.g.: sudo apt-get install pidgin-otr), then enable it from the plugins window.
[22:52] <ilovefairuz> edbian: sudo fdisk -l; mount; sudo blkid; sudo lsof /cdrom
[22:52] <l337ingDisorder> _Tristan: it doesn't even show the 'lo' interface??
