[14:24] <alaing> deej1976: I tried connection to my server <IP_ADDRESS> on port 3306 and it wouldn't connect
[14:25] <alaing> deej1976: surely it shouldn't matter as phpmyadmin is installed on the same machine and so it should be workign using localhost
[14:25] <alaing> same machien as mysql
[14:25] <evil_hog> alaing: did you check that mysql is running?
[14:25] <deej1976> alaing: Yep, if it's all on one machine should matter
[14:26] <alaing> evil_hog: it is runing as I can use it from putty
[14:26] <alaing> deej1976: why should it matter?
[14:26] <deej1976> alaing: On server : sudo service mysql status
[14:26] <deej1976> alaing: ~ shouldn't
[14:27] <alaing> deej1976: it says its started and running
[14:27] <evil_hog> alaing: netstat -an |grep 3306

[14:28] <alaing> i did comment out some text which deej1976 asked me too
[14:28] <evil_hog> alaing: does 'telnet localhost 3306' without quotes connects to the server?
[14:29] <alaing> evil_hog: from cmd on my windows 7 machine?
[14:29] <evil_hog> alaing: from your server's putty console. where mysql is
[14:31] <evil_hog> alaing: oh sorry, i've read above that you could access your mysql from localhost

[14:45] <hroi> hi, Im trying to setup procmail as my mail handler for all users,
[14:46] <hroi> according to the procmail tutorial, I should edit /etc/postfix/main.cf
[14:46] <hroi> however there is now such folder or file on my ubuntu
[14:46] <hroi> no such file!

[14:48] <hroi> gildedgod: however there is mail going to /var/mail/...
[14:48] <hroi> gildedgod: I wonder what agent is taking care of my mail?
[14:48] <gildedgod> hroi: because ubuntu shipped with exim
[14:49] <hroi> gildedgod: i should prob. uninstall the current agent, and then set postfix
[14:49] <hroi> exim
[14:49] <hroi> ok
[14:49] <hroi> yeah exim4 is installed
[14:49] <gildedgod> exim vs postfix - is endless holywar :3

[15:03] <MonkeyDust> zac12  i wasnt talking about that OS, what do you mean

[15:06] <Dougy> hi guys! i have a debian 6 dom0 and a ubuntu 11.10 domU. I want to install the Xen based kernel in the domU so I can use pygrub
[15:06] <Dougy> I don't see a linux-image-*xen package I'm used to seeing.. what am i missing? A repo?
[15:06] <MonkeyDust> Dougy  wrong channel
[15:06] <gildedgod> warfaren:  | head -n 10 ?
[15:06] <Dougy> MonkeyDust: what is right one
[15:07] <MonkeyDust> Dougy  try a Debian channel
[15:07] <Dougy> why?
[15:07] <Dougy> it's an ubuntu guest
[15:07] <jason00> How can I re-generate a new network udev persistent file if mine was erased?
[15:07] <Dougy> debian has nothing to do with this
[15:07] <Dougy> other hten its virtualizing the ubuntu VM i'm wokring on
[15:07] <warfaren> gildedgod: thanks, but it still scrolls to the bottm, could might aswell use cat
[15:07] <MonkeyDust> Dougy  misunderstood, then
[15:07] <Dougy> it's an ubuntu 'machine' i'm woring on and i need the xen kernel package
[15:07] <Dougy> for it
[15:07] <pppurple> is there a new user intro to 11.10 built into ubuntu? i thought i was looking at one earlier
[15:07] <warfaren> less is very nice because it starts at the top of the printed text
[15:08] <Disqualified> hey
[15:08] <Disqualified> how do i edit the tty terminal messages that appear when i console login ?
[15:08] <Disqualified> how do i edit the tty terminal messages that appear when i console login ?
[15:08] <Dougy> MonkeyDust: linux-image-2.6.26-2-xen-686_2.6.26-15_i386 for example was an old one
[15:08] <Dougy> but i need the one in ubuntu 11.10..
[15:08] <gildedgod> Disqualified: /etc/motd
[15:09] <ojno> Disqualified: depending on what version of ubuntu you have. /etc/motd is where the message is stored but it might be autogenerated by update-motd
[15:09] <Disqualified> ojno, ok can i delete that file? and not have it generated again?
[15:10] <ojno> Disqualified: in which case /etc/update-motd.d - check "man update-motd"
[15:10] <deej1976> !info xen-hypervisor-4.1-i386
[15:10] <Dougy> that does't look like a kernel
[15:11] <nailora> Disqualified: http://deadmemes.net/2010/10/19/fear-and-loathing-in-debianubuntu-or-who-needs-etcmotd/
[15:11] <deej1976> Dougy: I was just after a description
[15:11] <Dougy> ahh okies
[15:11] <Dougy> sorry
[15:12] <Dougy> Seems to me I may be SOL
[15:12] <Dougy> no amount of googling or repo searching is helping me
[15:12] <Disqualified> ojno, edited the appropriate file. do i now run update-motd?
[15:12] <Dougy> !info xen-utils-common
[15:12] <Dougy> !info xen-utils-4.1
[15:12] <ojno> Disqualified: you should find it picks up the changes immediately, if you log out and log in it should be changed
[15:13] <Disqualified> ojno, k ty
[15:13] <deej1976> Dougy | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xen
[15:13] <ojno> np
[15:13] <Dougy> unless the kernel is built in maybe
[15:14] <deej1976> Dougy: might be ubuntu is more geared to KVM
[15:15] <Dougy> deej1976: even still, it should be bootable to xen
[15:15] <Dougy> my issue is
[15:15] <Dougy> if i boot with pygrub and the stock linux-image kernel it cant find root device
[15:15] <pppurple> is there a hot key to bring up the work space so you can select which one you want?
[15:19] <pppurple> i cant quite get anything to work right today /sigh
[15:20] <Kneferilis> Hello, I need some help please.
[15:20] <Frogging101> Kneferilis: Don't ask to ask, just ask
[15:20] <Kneferilis> what they do to offer on linux unlimited free space/unlimited bandwidth? Cloud computing? https://www.unlimitedgb.com/linux-hosting.html
[15:20] <deej1976> pppurple: crtl+alt up/down arrow ?
[15:21] <Frogging101> How do I start multiple login sessions? Like, a new X session but with a window manager and everything working.
[15:21] <Frogging101> What commands does ubuntu run on startup to initialize the GUI?
[15:21] <Frogging101> I'm using 11.10
[15:21] <Pici> Kneferilis: That doesn't appear to be withing the scope of this channel.  Perhaps #web or #ubuntu-offtopic may be a better place to ask
[15:23] <pppurple> deej1976, Thank you!
[15:25] <Disqualified> how  can i check the remaining free space of my root partition? (its also encrypted, but now its open that i use it)
[15:25] <MonkeyDust> Disqualified  df -h
[15:25] <deej1976> Disqualified: df -lh
[15:26] <Disqualified> deej1976, /dev/mapper/vg-root   7.0G  6.7G     0 100% /
[15:26] <Disqualified> why is it 100% ?
[15:27] <johnjohn101> how is the support for ssd's in the current ubuntu 11.10?
[15:27] <Arm0ur> Disqualified: Because you are almost out of space
[15:27] <deej1976> Disqualified: Filesystems have a reserved space
[15:27] <Disqualified> deej1976, for what?
[15:27] <MonkeyDust> Disqualified  you using intel?
[15:27] <Frogging101> Does anyone here know how to start multiple X sessions in Ubuntu 11.10? So I can have a session on display :0 and a session on display :1
[15:27] <MonkeyDust> Disqualified  you using an intel videocard?
[15:28] <deej1976> Disqualified: When using the ext2 or ext3 filesystem by default 5% of the available blocks is reserved for use by the root user. This allows the system to continue running if non-root users fill up the file system and also assists in preventing file fragmentation because the filesystem does not fill up completely.
[15:28] <Disqualified> MonkeyDust, no nvidia
[15:28] <MonkeyDust> ok
[15:29] <nailora> Disqualified: deej1976 is probably right. "tune2fs -l" might show it to you
[15:29] <Disqualified> deej1976, is there any way to move 400 free mb from my /boot partition to / ? (root is encrypted though)
[15:29] <grosendorf> So for some reason, the /etc/apache2 folder is missing from my Ubuntu 10.10 installation.  I've removed the package and resinstalled it numerous times, I've tried running dpkg-reconfigure, I think i'm out of ideas.  Everytime I reinstall apache2, it simply fails to create it's configuration folder.  Permissions on /etc are fine.  Any ideas?
[15:30] <deej1976> grosendorf : sudo apt-get install --reinstall apache2 ?
[15:30] <pppurple> why does the touch pad mouse stop working in 11.10?
[15:30] <SUPPORT_> h
[15:30] <Disqualified> normally i would do it with gparted. shrink boot 400mb and enlarge extended/logical root partition by 400. Wont that ruin my encryption of root?
[15:30] <deej1976> Disqualified: Maybe boot from liveCD gparted and adjust partitions, do you have a lot of old kernels around?
[15:30] <Disqualified> deej1976,
[15:31] <grosendorf> deej1976: no dice
[15:31] <Disqualified> no
[15:31] <deej1976> grosendorf: Any errors ?
[15:31] <diatomaceous> Hey everyone!  Is there a way to make open office (libre office?) ignore my gtk theme?
[15:31] <slartibartfast> pal.de
[15:31] <deej1976> Disqualified: I'm not sure, it's risky
[15:32] <grosendorf> deej1976: nope, completes totally normally
[15:33] <grosendorf> except for the missing /etc/apache2 folder :/
[15:33] <deej1976> grosendorf: sudo apt-get purge apache2 , then reinstall?
[15:34] <MonkeyDust> and delete some config files, maybe
[15:34] <grosendorf> tried that too
[15:34] <Frogging101> What commands does Ubuntu run at startup to initialize the GUI?
[15:34] <grosendorf> no luck
[15:34] <Frogging101> Like the X server
[15:34] <deej1976> Frogging101: The login screen is ldm
[15:34] <SUPPORT_> d
[15:35] <evil_hog> deej1976: isn't it gdm?
[15:35] <deej1976> evil_hog: Changed in 11.10
[15:35] <evil_hog> oh
[15:35] <evil_hog> but it's still kdm in kubuntu 11.10 right?
[15:35] <deej1976> evil_hog: image so

[15:36] <k013> hi guys, is the look changer being included in 12.04 LTS?
[15:36] <Frogging101> deej1976: Well what I'm trying to do is run multiple X sessions. I don't know how
[15:36] <Frogging101> In 11.10
[15:36] <deej1976> Frogging101: Switch user?
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> Frogging101  do you have examples of it working?
[15:36] <WanderingEnder> Hey, how do I mount smb:// shares in 11.10 from GUI?
[15:37] <WanderingEnder> I mean for good, not "click, mount, wait, auto-unmount..."
[15:37] <_SHO_> I am in the market for a new router and it needs to play well with windows 7 and linux, any suggestions?
[15:37] <MonkeyDust> WanderingEnder  add it to fstab, no?
[15:37] <deej1976> WanderingEnder: Might need to enter a line in /etc/fstab
[15:39] <k013> hi guys, is the look changer being included in 12.04 LTS? just like the one in ZORIN OS!
[15:39] <MonkeyDust> k013  better ask in #ubuntu+1
[15:39] <WanderingEnder> Yeah, that's what I thought I'd need to do. Is there something GUI-like, or should I just open terminal?
[15:39] <compdoc> never heard of Zorin OS
[15:39] <compdoc> is that the OS Zorro uses?
[15:40] <k013> ok, thank you @monkeydust
[15:40] <Frogging101> Just... how do I start another X display from the command line?

[15:43] <peyam> in my min ipc
[15:43] <peyam> it almost kills me like a human
[15:44] <evil_hog> Frogging101: or if you want to start unity with current user, you should read about .xsessionrc or .xinitrc
[15:44] <evil_hog> Frogging101: so startx would know what to do after starting X
[15:45] <evil_hog> usually, LDM does it itself
[15:45] <botsman> How update old unsupported system? E.g. Hoary Hedgehog.

[15:53] <deej1976> !ask | Shodowjedi01
[15:54] <Shodowjedi01> Can someone help me getting my audio in jack working?
[15:54] <vonHerman> recently - after installing awstats - i encountered a lot of problems with access rights to shared libraries
[15:54] <deej1976> !anyone | Shodowjedi01
[15:54] <vonHerman> i'm working on Ubuntu 10.04.3 with 2.6.32-34-server kernel
[15:54] <t2hu> !gq
[15:54] <alaing> evil_hog: no not yet
[15:54] <t2hu> sorry
[15:54] <MahaVishnu> Shodowjedi01, using ubuntu 11.10 ?
[15:54] <Shodowjedi01> 10.10
[15:54] <MahaVishnu> Shodowjedi01, and your line in jack does not function, have you checked the settings in alsamixer ? or pavucontrol for a gui.
[15:55] <Shodowjedi01> I downloades Alasa and pavucontrol to no avail
[15:55] <k013> @monkeydust - hi, the guys at ubuntu+1 said they are not including it! too bad! anyway - check out this video if you have time, enjoy! thank you. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHCDU-CUoaQ
[15:55] <pppurple> MahaVishnu,  i guess im just not understanding all that i can do with partitions. the only partitions i need is SDA1 and SDA2 to dual boot windows, how would i be able to give that extra space to be usable in linux?
[15:55] <bolo56> hail !!!
[15:55] <alaing> evil_log I was just thinking what has changed since I last used the server and the only thing I can think of is that I changed the WORKGROUP name on the router
[15:56] <vonHerman> shortly after instalation of awstats i recieved a lot of errors like Starting ClamAV daemon clamd /usr/sbin/clamd: error while loading shared libraries: libclamav.so.6: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied
[15:56] <vonHerman> or imapd: /usr/bin/imapd: error while loading shared libraries: libfam.so.0: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied
[15:56] <bolo56> .
[15:57] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, it looks like you have 2 linux installs on 1 drive.. and windows apparently. and an OEM windows recovery partition.
[15:57] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, your end goal is to dual boot windows + ubuntu ?
[15:57] <alaing> evil_hog: my putty connection keeps timing out
[15:57] <kernelpanic> After booting the oneiric 32bit image from a usb stick, the desktop comes up. After about 5 seconds, almost all widgets freeze, just the mouse is still working. Is that a known problem?
[15:57] <Shodowjedi01> so no one is going to help me with my sound issue?
[15:58] <dr_willis> !patience
[15:58] <szal> Shodowjedi01: as of yet you haven't explained your problem
[15:58] <Shodowjedi01> I just want to know if someone can help me get my audio in jack working

[16:03] <evil_hog> !efi
[16:03] <pppurple> MahaVishnu, mounted means its mounted to the ubuntu OS? so i need to keep SDA8 intact cause its running the OS now?
[16:03] <MahaVishnu> Shodowjedi01, please talk to me in this channel. and the command to open pavucontrol is pavucontrol.

[16:03] <dr_willis> i thought  libstdc++.so.6 is a rather critical lib. wonder if you had some filesystem error that currupted it butti. or removed it.
[16:03] <demosfar> having problem while installing newest ati drivers. Here is jockey.log: http://pastebin.com/5abe4S7u
[16:04] <Shodowjedi01> ok I opend Pavucontrol Maha
[16:04] <pppurple> is it better to use Gparted or just the disk utility
[16:04] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, in a terminal type sudo mound and paste me the results.
[16:04] <Shodowjedi01> what did you ask me to look at?
[16:04] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, mount *
[16:04] <MahaVishnu> Shodowjedi01, your config tab and your input tab.
[16:05] <MahaVishnu> Shodowjedi01, config should be set to analog stereo duplex and input should be line in.
[16:05] <Shodowjedi01> my input is set to internal audio analog
[16:05] <Shodowjedi01> and under config it is set to analog sterio duplex
[16:05] <Frogging101> How do I make it so that a user can run selected commands as sudo, but not be able to use sudo for anything else?
[16:05] <MahaVishnu> Shodowjedi01, set your input to line in.
[16:05] <dr_willis> Frogging101:  add the proper entries to the /etc/sudoers file.
[16:05] <MonkeyDust> Shodowjedi01  please add the name of the person you are addressing
[16:05] <deej1976> vonHerman: Does dmesg show anything
[16:06] <pppurple> MahaVishnu,  sent you a personal window with results
[16:06] <Shodowjedi01> I think that worked Maha!
[16:06] <Shodowjedi01> Thank you! :-)
[16:07] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, pastebin means. paste.ubuntu.com or something ;-) not a pm but thats ok. anyway unmount /dev/sda*
[16:07] <evil_hog> why the installed ubuntu doesn't boot if i install it on manually partitioned drive? GPT table, first partition is 20mb bootable fat16 efi
[16:07] <evil_hog> fully auto installation works
[16:08] <MahaVishnu> evil_hog, ubuntu doesn't auto make gpt partitions does it?
[16:08] <evil_hog> MahaVishnu: 11.10 x64 does, on my laptop at least (with EFI)
[16:09] <raven> ffmpeg/winff preset: how to limit mpeg4 super high quality preset to maximum 4mbit?
[16:09] <MahaVishnu> evil_hog, oh. im not familiar with what efi is sorry. I was unsure because I upgraded and my / is not on a GPT thats why I asked. but I guess it's since I upgraded.
[16:09] <pppurple> MahaVishnu, paste bin like the link to the photos? not sure what that is. sorry about the PM. and which SDA* to unmount?
[16:09] <vonHerman> deej1976: well I just run dmesg |egrep 'unable|error'
[16:10] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, all of them.
[16:10] <Frogging101> I've noticed that in 11.10 the system settings are dumbed down to being nearly useless...
[16:10] <mneptok> evil_hog: you're using UEFI?
[16:10] <vonHerman> [    0.179175] rtc_cmos: probe of rtc_cmos failed with error -16
[16:10] <vonHerman> [    0.180415] /build/buildd/linux-2.6.32/drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0)
[16:10] <evil_hog> MahaVishnu: its probably because my system using EFI and i installed x64 version
[16:10] <raven> ffmpeg/winff preset: how to limit mpeg4 super high quality preset to maximum 4mbit?
[16:10] <MahaVishnu> evil_hog, what is EFI please ?
[16:10] <evil_hog> mneptok: i dunno its efi or uefi. laptop z570 lenovo
[16:10] <dr_willis> raven:  make a preset that has the proper ffmpeg options?
[16:10] <evil_hog> MahaVishnu: some kind of bios replacement :)
[16:10] <deej1976> vonHerman, please so output into pastebin
[16:11] <MahaVishnu> evil_hog, oh interesting never heard of it till now ill have to do some reading.
[16:11] <raven> dr_willis, which of theese options have to be changed
[16:11] <dr_willis> raven:  no idea. Id have to look at the ffmpeg docs/faq/guides
[16:11] <mneptok> evil_hog: UEFI partitions need to be ~120MB and formatted FAT32. they need to be mounted to /boot/efi and the EFI bits of GRUB2 need to be installed.
[16:12] <mneptok> evil_hog: the Ubuntu installer should detect all this and set it up. if you choose to do it manually, then you need to be very aware of the rules.
[16:12] <evil_hog> mneptok: with default partitioning it was fat16 20mb (or 200mb, can't remember) and it worked. i've seen ubuntu in uefi boot menu and was able to boot it. well, i still can see it but it doesn't boot
[16:13] <demosfar> how to install drivers from file .run?
[16:13] <mneptok> !info grub-efi
[16:13] <Hexch> anyone good to pure-ftpd here ?
[16:13] <mneptok> evil_hog: ^^^^
[16:13] <evil_hog> mneptok: alright, if i'll make 120mb fat32 partition. what should i chose in installer GUI? to install grub to /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 (efi partition)
[16:13] <dr_willis> demosfar:  you run the .run file.. chmod +x foo.run   then ./foo.run
[16:13] <dr_willis> demosfar:  and normally its best to use the drivers from teh repos.
[16:13] <vonHerman> deej1976: http://pastebin.com/fau1Q3G9
[16:14] <mneptok> evil_hog: if you want to define all this stuff manually, i would suggest you use the alternate installer.
[16:14] <demosfar> dr_willis, i have problem  while installing newest ati drivers. Here is jockey.log: http://pastebin.com/5abe4S7u
[16:14] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, you get those unmounted ?
[16:14] <sebx> How do I generate a xorg.conf file? I've tried booting into recovery and running Xorg -configure but got an file lock error.
[16:14] <dr_willis> demosfar:  will mean very little to me.. I dont use ati. and its not reccomended to use the .run installer.
[16:14] <tim167> hi, can anyone help me get Wacom Bamboo ctl-470/K working on ubuntu?
[16:14] <MahaVishnu> sebx, what kind of card ?
[16:14] <dr_willis> demosfar:  the forums or askubuntu.com may have some info on the problem,
[16:14] <sebx> intel onboard from i3 530
[16:14] <demosfar> i don't have choice...cause my gnome shell wont work good without newest drivers
[16:15] <sebx> MahaVishnu, intel onboard from i3 530
[16:15] <pppurple> MahaVishnu, not just yet. trying to understand what im doing so i can re-do an install and not mess it up again.
[16:15] <evil_hog> mneptok: well, the main reason why i'm doing so is that i want separate /home and  i want 4k aligned partitions.  the default GUI installer can see EFI partition. but i'm not sure what should i choose as target for grub. the drive itself or that efi partition
[16:15] <deej1976> vonHerman: Nothing in there
[16:16] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, unmounting doesn't destroy anything
[16:16] <MahaVishnu> sebx, what exact error?
[16:16] <mneptok> evil_hog: sudo grub-install /dev/sd(whatever)
[16:16] <sebx> MahaVishnu, it couldn't get a file lock on some temp file, don't remember exact message. Is that otherwise the best way?
[16:16] <mneptok> evil_hog: that's AFTER you install the grub-efi package and remove grub-pc
[16:16] <vonHerman> deej1976: but problem with multiple programs pesists :/
[16:16] <MahaVishnu> sebx, you might need to kill x before you do -configure
[16:17] <MahaVishnu> sebx, try sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop
[16:17] <sebx> MahaVishnu, I'm in recovery mode, I don't think it was running. I'll try that, ty
[16:17] <MahaVishnu> sebx, are you on a gui now or no?
[16:17] <pppurple> MahaVishnu, it wont let me Unmount says "the daemon is being inhibitied"
[16:17] <sebx> MahaVishnu, yes, I'm in gui now
[16:18] <evil_hog> mneptok: and then i should add ubuntu to efi menu?
[16:18] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, close any open windows of any files. close gparted etc.
[16:18] <deej1976> vonHerman: sudo cat kern.log | pastebinit
[16:18] <sebx> MahaVishnu, I'll try to go to a virtual console and kill x
[16:18] <MahaVishnu> sebx, yea.
[16:18] <gnaddel> Does anyone here by chance have any experience with a Skystar USB HD2 dvb-s2 tuner under ubuntu?
[16:18] <MahaVishnu> gnaddel, the ubuntu websites have some kind of h/w compatibility DB I believe...
[16:18] <diatomaceous> Hey everyone!  Is there a way to make open office (libre office?) ignore my gtk theme?  -  Just in case anyone else cared, I found a fix - sudo apt-get remove libreoffice-gtk did the trick.
[16:18] <kish> im having trouble reinstalling grub2, it tells me "/usr/sbin/grub-prove error cannot find a device for /boot/grub is /dev mounted?
[16:18] <kish> i don't know what ot do
[16:19] <dr_willis> kish:  so you are on a live cd? or what exactly?
[16:19] <kish> yes,
[16:19] <kish> im on a live cd.
[16:20] <butti> hello, need help for solving this: synaptic: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[16:20] <gnaddel> MahaVishnu: It appears that some people have it working but googling how to do it turns out to be.... not so much fun indeed ;)
[16:20] <mneptok> evil_hog: then "sudo update-grub"
[16:20] <evil_hog> mneptok: thank a lot for the info. i'm going to give it last try today
[16:20] <pppurple> MahaVishnu, i was only ableto unmount 1 of the mounted SDA7
[16:20] <mneptok> evil_hog: there's no manual tweaking of the GRUB menu necessary
[16:20] <pppurple> MahaVishnu, the other revieved this error Error unmounting: umount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:

[16:20] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, sudo ;-P
[16:21] <evil_hog> mneptok: and what about efibootmgr?
[16:21] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, prefix the unmount with sudo

[16:21] <deej1976> butti: find /usr -name libstdc++.so.6
[16:21] <uissanc> Hi guys
[16:21] <mneptok> evil_hog: should be brought in as a dependency of grub-efi
[16:22] <varnie> hi
[16:22] <varnie> my vpn-server has multiple IP addresses so when I write 'peer vpn.foo.com' in mpd.conf it doesn't work
[16:22] <evil_hog> mneptok: but grub-efi should handle this itself or i'll have to run efibootmgr and configure that menu?
[16:22] <pppurple> MahaVishnu, sorry im not sure that means. im not unmounting threw a terminal. i am using the Disk utility
[16:22] <varnie> i am trying to setup vpn client
[16:22] <kish> varnie, you have to put the ip in the conf file
[16:22] <uissanc> How to know the list of versions available for a given packet ? I want to know the list of nmap version available
[16:23] <varnie> kish, in which file, mpd.conf?
[16:23] <kish> yes
[16:23] <kish> ip instead of the hostname
[16:23] <vonHerman> deej1976: http://pastebin.com/7c1xUNKU
[16:23] <varnie> yes but that vpn server has multiple ip addresses
[16:23] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, well use a terminal and type sudo umount /dev/sdaX
[16:23] <kish> varnie, you can find out what thye are
[16:23] <pppurple> ok
[16:23] <butti> deej1976: i have no output
[16:23] <vonHerman> deej1976: sorry for delay
[16:23] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, close the disk utility first.
[16:23] <varnie> kish, so, specifying just one of them should be okay?
[16:23] <kish>  A
[16:24] <kish> varnie, yeah
[16:24] <varnie> well, it connects but only from time to tiem
[16:24] <deej1976> butti: sudo apt-get install libstdc++6
[16:24] <MahaVishnu> varnie, you said vpn client, but your talking about mpd.conf ?
[16:24] <deej1976> butti: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libstdc++6
[16:24] <butti> a
[16:24] <mneptok> evil_hog: update-grub will take care of all of it
[16:25] <evil_hog> mneptok: thanks again
[16:25] <varnie> kish, yes I use mpd5 as a pptp_client
[16:26] <butti> deej1976: apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[16:26] <skinnux99> anyone know how i can try and get better screen resolution? im on a dell e6400 getting 1280x800 max according to xrandr
[16:26] <skinnux99> and the latest ubuntu
[16:26] <MahaVishnu> skinnux99, does xrandr -q show any higher resolution ?\
[16:26] <conntrack> doh
[16:27] <pppurple> MahaVishnu, device is busy. i believe SDA8 has linux on it and i am running linux from it currently
[16:27] <skinnux99> MahaVishnu: sadly no
[16:27] <Jorky> Hello Guys. I want to install ubuntu on a second hard drive beside windows. Can Anone help me (with link or something...) explain how to properly do that?
[16:27] <deej1976> vonHerman: Sorry, not saw where to go next, could spot anything.
[16:27] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, are you not on a live-cd ?
[16:27] <vonHerman> deej1976: so no luck ?
[16:27] <deej1976> vonHerman: Sorry
[16:28] <skinnux99> MahaVishnu: actually is says "maximum 8192 x 8192"
[16:28] <jrogers> I plugged in my external apple time machine harddrive to oneirda, and it mounts fine, and I can see folders/files in it, but there doesn't appear to be any of my backups in it.
[16:28] <skinnux99> but its not one of the choices listed
[16:28] <RaTTuS|BIG> Jorky - just boot the cd and point it at the spare disk for the install
[16:28] <jrogers> Possibly a permissions issue?  Do I need to mount it differently or add credentials from the MAC somewhere?
[16:28] <MahaVishnu> skinnux99, yea thats frame buffer or something
[16:28] <butti> deej1976: apt-get: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[16:28] <MahaVishnu> skinnux99, what mode do you want? and ur sure the device can support it?
 Yes, but I want ti use windows also (duak booth)?
[16:29] <pppurple> MahaVishnu, no i am running an installed Ubuntu OS
[16:29] <skinnux99> MahaVishnu: anything a little higher, i am checking now :)
[16:29] <vonHerman> deej1976: thanks anyway. any idea where should i ask next ?
[16:29] <skinnux99> i just assumed that a generic video driver had been loaded
[16:29] <jrogers> anyone mounted a time machine HD to ubuntu before?
[16:30] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, well to do anything you need to really be on a live-cd ....
[16:30] <compdoc> time machine HD? who makes that?
[16:30] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, cant work on f/s that ur using.
[16:30] <Barbariandude> Jorky, It should do that if you select "Install alongside Windows" during installation
[16:30] <pppurple> MahaVishnu, ok i can do that. just need to save xchat to a thumb drive and reboot
 Thx I hpe it works
[16:31] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, huh!? you need a whole ubuntu .iso not just xchat
[16:31] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, the ubuntu live .iso comes with xchat pretty sure.
[16:31] <dr_willis> or xchat-gnome at least.
[16:32] <MahaVishnu> yea thats what I meant. I think...
[16:32] <MahaVishnu> dont use gnome so.
[16:32] <pppurple>  MahaVishnu yes yes i have a bootable USB with ubuntu ISO. i am saving xchat so i dont have to download it and can run it from the live cd
[16:32] <MahaVishnu> pppurple, it has it alrdy
[16:32] <deej1976> butti: When did this error start to appear
[16:32] <DaBaus> hey
[16:32] <MahaVishnu> panera sandwhich = good. sorry back on topic ;-P
[16:33] <DaBaus> how can i run a bash command at boot always?
[16:33] <dr_willis> DaBaus:  to do what exactly? theres /etc/rc.local
[16:33] <MahaVishnu> DaBaus, ~/.xsession I think?
[16:33] <pppurple> MahaVishnu, hmmm it made me download it on 11.10 not just install
[16:33] <dr_willis> 'at boot' is differnt then 'at user login'  :)
[16:33] <butti> deej1976: just after i tryed to make a symlink ..i did something wrong
[16:33] <butti> deej1976: maybe i have removed this file or something
[16:34] <deej1976> butti: If you type history, does it show the command ?
[16:34] <MahaVishnu> dr_willis, yea most people who say 'at boot' really mean 'at login'
[16:34] <butti> deej1976: i made so many trys with that
[16:34] <butti> deej1976: for example: sudo ls -l /usr/lib/libstdc++*
[16:35] <deej1976> butti: can you history | pastebinit
[16:35] <fission6> my linode instance rebooted and /sbin/initi kicked off uwsgi process, i cant seem to kill it, it just respawns
[16:35] <fission6> how can i do so
[16:35] <butti> deej1976: tell command for the histrory
[16:36] <dr_willis> Linode ?
[16:36] <butti> deej1976: i cant open anybrowser right now becouse of that failour
[16:36] <MahaVishnu> fission6, kill -9 ?
[16:36] <evil_hog> mneptok: and now the main question:) should I bother now with uefi and gpt, if i have just 750GB drive and probably installation to mbr partition should be easy?
[16:37] <MahaVishnu> fission6, or use pstree and figure out whats respawning it?
[16:37] <dr_willis> butti:  you were making a link to  libstdc++.so.6 ? or did i miss read.
[16:37] <jrogers> compdoc: umm... I guess I 'made' it.
[16:37] <deej1976> butti: "history" is the command enter in a terminal
[16:37] <compdoc> huh?
[16:37] <butti> dr_willis:that was one of my wrong commands...i made somany of them
[16:38] <fission6> MahaVishnu: http://dpaste.org/OAPWn/
[16:38] <butti> deej1976: okay..i can only put some commands here becouse no pastebin
[16:38] <butti> deej1976: ln -s /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6

[16:39] <deej1976> butti: find /usr -name libstdc++.so.6.orig ?
[16:39] <MahaVishnu> fission6, idk maybe upstart-udev-br is respawning it,? what is uswgi

[16:42] <MahaVishnu> butti, I think your computer is turning german!
[16:42] <fission6> MahaVishnu: how can i kill it then
[16:42] <nagpaiper> also .. if i reduce the brightness, it again shoots up when the machine recovers after a screenserver
[16:42] <butti> MahaVishnu: :))
[16:42] <MahaVishnu> fission6, it comes back with kill -9 ?
[16:42] <nagpaiper> can someone help me with the issue
[16:42] <butti> deej1976: its meant dont write through symlink...
[16:42] <rasusto> nagpaiper, wear sunglasses
[16:43] <nagpaiper> @rasusto hehehe.. good one
[16:43] <MahaVishnu> lmao.

[16:43] <deej1976> butti: cd /usr/lib32/ ; mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.link ; cp libstdc++.so.6.orig libstdc++.so.6
[16:43] <nagpaiper> Hmm.. its very annoying
[16:44] <MahaVishnu> I understand it's annoying, but cant you just reduce the brightness again ?
[16:44] <fission6> MahaVishnu: yes
[16:44] <nagpaiper> Mahavishnu.. you need to do it every two minutes
[16:44] <MahaVishnu> nagpaiper, ahh..
[16:44] <nagpaiper> whenever i leave my machine and the screen dims... when i return.. its FLASH!!!!
[16:45] <nagpaiper> :)
[16:45] <butti> deej1976: the problem persist
[16:45] <butti> deej1976: synaptic: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[16:45] <nagpaiper> i am sure there may be other users facing the issue and hopefully someone having a solution too
[16:46] <MahaVishnu> fission6, according to the manual you should be able to send it signal SIGINT/SIGQUIT and it will die...
[16:46] <deej1976> butti: 32 or 64 version?
[16:46] <nemo> So, I'm reluctantly considering updating from 11.04 to 11.10...
[16:46] <butti> 64
[16:46] <butti> deej1976: 64
[16:46] <nemo> And I was wondering.  Are the Mint Gnome 3 extensions available to Ubuntu users?
[16:47] <MahaVishnu> nemo, use dd or clonezilla to clone ur drive first incase you don't like 11.10 you can go right back to 11.04
[16:49] <nagpaiper> @Mahavishnu.. i wish i did that :((   (with my bright screen)
[16:49] <nemo> MahaVishnu: oh. I've done that quite a few times.  This ubuntu install has been on 5 machines w/ nc + dd
[16:49] <nemo> (is a work box)
[16:49] <deej1976> butti: ldd /usr/sbin/synaptic | grep libstdc++.so.6
[16:49] <nemo> MahaVishnu: I do have another machine on 11.10 where I resorted to XFCE4.
[16:49] <nemo> But I'd heard the Mint gnome 3 extensions made gnome 3 actually usable.
[16:49] <butti> deej1976: ldd /usr/sbin/synaptic | grep libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6 => not found libstdc++.so.6 => not found libstdc++.so.6 => not found libstdc++.so.6 => not found libstdc++.so.6 => not found
[16:49] <MahaVishnu> nemo, i was using xfce4 then I started using fluxbox, and ill never use anything else it's perfect in every way.
[16:50] <nemo> MahaVishnu: so I was considering just upgrading to Mint 12 - but I'm also lazy.
[16:50] <rasusto> nemo gnome 3 its a disaster
[16:50] <dp> I've got a mint box (please let me know if I should be somewhere else for this) that tells me that a binary I'm trying to run in a local directory, doesn't actually exist. any ideas?
[16:50] <nemo> MahaVishnu: eh.  I wouldn't recommend XFCE4 for everyone.  Take my mom for example. She counts on, say, being able to browse an ISO on her desktop - even play the contents - all handled by gnome vfs
[16:50] <MahaVishnu> unity is hideous imho but someone is gonna tell us to get back on topic now.
[16:50] <rasusto> join the debian master race
[16:50] <nemo> MahaVishnu: or change her timezone when travelling - XFCE4 still doesn't have a UI for that
[16:51] <MahaVishnu> nemo, yea usually nothing is ever perfect on a machine.
[16:51] <deej1976> butti: libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
[16:51] <MahaVishnu> or life for that matter.
[16:51] <nemo> rasusto: of my friends and family who are on 11.10 more of them seem to use gnome 3 than unity - right now a tally of 3 to 0
[16:51] <nemo> MahaVishnu: just noting why I wouldn't want to move her from gnome 2 to XFCE4
[16:51] <nemo> MahaVishnu: so actually, I'm doubly interested in the mint gnome 3 extensions - both for myself and for her
[16:52] <MahaVishnu> nemo, nothing wrong with gnome 2.
[16:52] <nemo> MahaVishnu: well. apart from it not being supported anymore :-p
[16:52] <nagpaiper> I am using Gnome 3.
[16:52] <MahaVishnu> nemo, at all, or just by ubuntu ?
[16:52] <nagpaiper> got tired of Unity..
[16:52] <nemo> MahaVishnu: at all.
[16:52] <nemo> MahaVishnu: ubuntu ditching it was forced by gnome
[16:52] <Pici> Can we please try to stay on-topic here? This channel is for support only.  If you'd like to discuss the relative merits of each desktop environment, you may use #ubuntu-offtopic.  Thanks.
[16:52] <MahaVishnu> nemo, ah. I did not know that but makes sense.
[16:53] <deej1976> *anyone* does the live cd have libstdc++.so.6 ?
[16:53] <MahaVishnu> sure Pici ;-P
[16:53] <butti> deej1976: no permission
[16:53] <nemo> Pici: this is a specific support question.  Is it possible to install the Mint Gnome 3 extensions in Ubuntu, say by adding some PPA
[16:53] <nagpaiper> PICI can you help me
[16:53] <nemo> Pici: or do I need to upgrade our machines to Mint 12
[16:53] <butti> deej1976: sudo libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
[16:53] <butti> bash: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: Keine Berechtigung
[16:53] <nemo> Pici: since I'm kinda lazy, I'd prefer the PPa
[16:53] <MahaVishnu> nemo, mint isn't supported here just so you know.
[16:53] <MahaVishnu> not trying to be a d!ck
[16:54] <nemo> MahaVishnu: my question as you might notice, is ubuntu tailored
[16:54] <Pici> nemo: Have you tried looking for a PPA yourself?  The search page is here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[16:54] <nemo> is there an *ubuntu* *PPA* for the extensions
[16:54] <MahaVishnu> nemo, I figured i'd say it before someone said it rudely ;-)
[16:54] <Pici> nemo: We don't and can't know what every PPA on launchpad is.
[16:54] <nemo> Pici: well, I'd actually tried googling for "installing mint gnome 3 extensions in ubuntu" :)
[16:54] <nemo> which wasn't too successful
[16:55] <nemo> Pici: not having much luck w/ that search either though :-/
[16:55] <MahaVishnu> nemo, it sounds like an activity that could cause problems for the OS some how.
[16:55] <Pici> nemo: Then perhaps there is no such PPA.
[16:55] <nemo> MahaVishnu: why? gnome 3 is supposed to be extendable
[16:55] <nemo> Pici: quite likely. I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.  Perhaps someone else had tried it
[16:55] <deej1976> butti: Can you boot from a livecd and copy the libstdc++.so.6 file back to /usr on your system ?
[16:55] <nemo> Pici: that's the purpose of support channels after all!
[16:55] <MahaVishnu> nemo, idk much about mint, but if you are installing something tailored for it in ubuntu it might break something. just a possibility.
[16:56] <butti> deej1976: look, ti made this: sudo rm /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6
[16:56] <deej1976> butti: That is the problem
[16:56] <deej1976> butti: What ubuntu version ?
[16:56] <butti> deej1976: thank you very much..that was the problem
[16:56] <butti> deej1976: 10.04
[16:57] <deej1976> butti: Try booting a livecd and copying the file back
[16:57] <nagpaiper> Mahavishnu: am i posting my query in the right channel.. sorry to ask a bummer question.. but i am new to the IRC
[16:57] <butti> deej1976: i had dipendency prob. one of my proghrams couldnt find the libstdc..so i found some cookingrecipes on the wenb without looking at that ..i mady copy/paste
[16:58] <MahaVishnu> nagpaiper, whats ur question again ?
[16:58] <nemo> Yay. I think I got where I want to be by finding the package name in mint, then searching for it on launchpad :D
[16:58] <nagpaiper> I use 11.1 .. and ever since i upgraded the screen starts at its brightest
[16:58] <nemo> mgse-bottompanel for example...
[16:58] <evil_hog> take care and thanks for the help. cya )
[16:58] <butti> deej1976: i will do that, thank you very much...may i ask you for the help leter on to solve that other thing?
[16:59] <nagpaiper> even if i reduce the brightness .. it comes back at its brightest after it recovers from a dormant state, or a screensaver
[16:59] <MahaVishnu> nagpaiper, samsung laptop ?
[17:00] <nagpaiper> Mahavishnu: Dell Vostro
[17:00] <deej1976> I'm off home now.
[17:00] <butti> thank you bye
[17:01] <nagpaiper> Mahavishnu: even tried reducing the brightness from the display settings within system settings
[17:01] <chiggins> Hey! What packages do I need to remove to completly remove Ruby/Rails/Gemsets from my Ubuntu install?
[17:01] <myrmidette> Hello people, I'm trying to do something that involves perl, but I'm too lazy to learn it. I have a bunch of files in subdirectories that I want to rename, i.e. remove some leading "the"s which make it difficult to browse. Can anyone cook up a command that does that?
[17:01] <nagpaiper> it still goes back to its brightest on restart or recovery
[17:02] <MahaVishnu> nagpaiper, yea im cruising looking for info, found something that looked good but it was for samsung hold on please.
[17:03] <nagpaiper> Thanks Mahavishnu
[17:06] <MahaVishnu> nagesh, what do you have in /sys/class/backlight ?
[17:07] <nagpaiper> Sorry Mahavishnu got disconnected
[17:08] <danileigh79> I'm returning to the Dark Side (rebooting to WinXP) I shall see you all later
[17:08] <MahaVishnu> nagpaiper, what you got in /sys/class/backlight ?
[17:08] <nagpaiper> I see two things
[17:08] <nagpaiper> one sec.. will tell you those
[17:09] <nagpaiper> acpi_video0 and intel_backlight
[17:09] <MahaVishnu> nagpaiper, if you cat them, does it provide any info ?
[17:09] <nagpaiper> Sorry i am a newbie.. how do you do that
[17:10] <nagpaiper> I just opened the folder through nautilus :-P
[17:10] <pppurple> how do you force quite a hung linux program with manually?
[17:10] <nagpaiper> i mean how do you "cat"
[17:10] <chiggins> pppurple: Find it's process id, then "kill <pid>"
[17:11] <MahaVishnu> nagpaiper, open a terminal cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight or whatever
[17:11] <tensorpudding> pppurple, you can find its process in the system monitor and kill it there too
[17:11] <nagpaiper> will try that
[17:11] <nagpaiper> one moment
[17:12] <tensorpudding> nagpaiper, the terminal has a prompt on the left side, and a blinking cursor, you enter the text of the command you want to run, then hit enter
[17:12] <XiaolinDraconis> does anyone know of a script that would help two users share the same desktop, im looking for something that would stop some services and start others. for instance i dont use gwibber but my girl does.
[17:13] <nagpaiper> @tensorpudding did that thanks :)
[17:13] <XiaolinDraconis> and no i dont want multiple profiles
[17:13] <nagpaiper> @Mahavishnu it says.. <the path> is a directory
[17:13] <LargePrime> http://www.regretsy.com/2011/12/05/cats-1-kids-0/
[17:13] <c_nick> nick
[17:13] <MahaVishnu> nagpaiper, oh. cd in further then.
[17:13] <tensorpudding> "cat" is a common terminal command that justs spits out what the contents of a file is as text
[17:14] <Myrtti> LargePrime: wrong channel, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:14] <diverdud`> Would linux ubuntu server ed. be a good distribution for running a high load webpage?
[17:14] <LargePrime> sorry
[17:14] <phillyj> anyone know how to get ALSA to record in stereo?
[17:14] <nagpaiper> Mahavishnu.. i did CD followed by the path.
[17:14] <Myrtti> diverdud`: sure, a lot depends on how you configure it
[17:14] <nagpaiper> i think i am into the folder
[17:15] <MahaVishnu> nagpaiper, like cd /sys/class/backlight/intel_whatever
[17:15] <MahaVishnu> nagpaiper, then do an ls to see what files are in there and cat filename to read contents
[17:16] <tensorpudding> if you want to know your current directory, type "pwd" in
[17:17] <nagpaiper> yes did that
[17:17] <nagpaiper> There are about 6- 7 files there
[17:17] <nagpaiper> including... brightness... max_brightness... subsystem
[17:17] <nagpaiper> these files contain a number in it
[17:17] <FloodBot1> nagpaiper: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[17:17] <MahaVishnu> tensorpudding, yea but it tells you your working dir on the left.
[17:18] <tensorpudding> depends on your prompt
[17:18] <tensorpudding> it might not have a full path either
[17:18] <MahaVishnu> true.
[17:18] <nagpaiper> There are numbers in the files actual_brightness ; brightness etc
[17:18] <rcmaehl> -_- What's with people restarting their pc after compiz crashes?
[17:18] <rcmaehl> You don't have to
[17:18] <rcmaehl> it's an easy fix
[17:19] <Gentoo64> most people dont care about rebooting
[17:20]  * rcmaehl cares about rebooting even though it only takes 15 seconds
[17:20] <Gentoo64> exactly
[17:20] <nagpaiper> Mahavishnu.. can i change the contents of the files
[17:21] <MahaVishnu> nagpaiper, yea I have done it before
[17:21] <rcmaehl> also people shut their pc down incorrectly when compiz crashes
[17:22] <Gentoo64> might as well just not use compiz then eh
[17:22] <Gentoo64> :)
[17:22] <Caberu> c.epiknet.org
[17:25] <rcmaehl> and use metacity?
[17:25] <rcmaehl> bleh.
[17:26] <SmokeyD> hey everyone. Where did the moonlight packages for oneiric go? All references on the internet say it should be in the repositories, but on packages.ubuntu.com it is only present up-to natty, and on ubuntuupdates it is marked as "removed"
[17:26] <SmokeyD> what's up
[17:26] <SmokeyD> I can't find any reference as to why it's gone
[17:27] <nemo> MahaVishnu: FWIW - http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/try-new-mint-gnome-shell-extensions.html  - includes copy and paste ppa setup
[17:30] <Guest64035> hello
[17:30] <abhijain> hello friends
[17:30] <abhijain> I am trying  to install ubuntu on vmware
[17:31] <lnxslck> good for you
[17:31] <abhijain> should I have to create swap or not
[17:31] <compdoc> always
[17:31] <lnxslck> abhijain, ubuntu does that for you
[17:33] <bluegoon> Hey guys
[17:33] <bluegoon> does XFCE have a software center?
[17:34] <Arm0ur> bluegoon: Software Center is for the Ubuntu Operating System; not for Desktop Environments such as GNOME/XFCE/KDE etc.
[17:35] <Guest64035> any one can help me to install empathy 3.3.1 in ubuntu 10.04?
[17:35] <ikonia> Guest64035: it's not available on 10.04
[17:35] <ikonia> Guest64035: it's not been backported yet
[17:35] <Guest64035> ikonia, need to complite it and use it from http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/sources/empathy/3.3/
[17:36] <ikonia> Guest64035: you shouldn't do that
[17:36] <Guest64035> ikonia, why?
[17:36] <ikonia> Guest64035: because empathy is linked into the desktop in ubuntu, so you trying to conflict with it is not going to help
[17:37] <Guest64035> ikonia, thanks for info
[17:38] <lgp171188> Hi, in my oneiric installation when I copy files, the copy dialog gets lost when I do a show desktop
[17:38] <helo> mounting a particular nfs share seems to cause my kernel to throw a GPF
[17:38] <lgp171188> there seems to be no window or notification area icon to get it back
[17:38] <lgp171188> are there any workarounds for this?
[17:38] <helo> my only idea is that it has some kind of attempt at an exploit in it, and is causing my kernel to crash instead of working
[17:39] <helo> other shares on the same server don't cause the problem
[17:40] <Arm0ur> lgp171188: What do you mean "gets lost" ? You can't <Alt>+Tab or <Super> + w to it ?
[17:41] <lgp171188> Arm0ur: I couldn't Alt+tab to it. I wasn't aware of Super+w. Will try that the next time. The only way I was knowing that the file copy/move was happening was that I was doing a move and the files in the source were getting deleted one by one.
[17:51] <puppen> howdy.. I have an intel core i5.. was wondering whether to install the amd64 bit or the regular 32 bit version of ubuntu..
[17:51] <compdoc> amd64
[17:51] <jrib> puppen: 64
[17:52] <mdm-irc> hi guys, i have gnome3 environment on Oneiric, and i experience some strange screen flashes (usually 2-3 flashes in one second time) when i click Activities or when empathy find some feed updates (why i disabled it) and when going with mouse down right of the screen where i find notifications that i don't need (removable devices - mounted during boot; gsd-keyboard-xkb)
[17:52] <compdoc> it doesnt mean its only for AMD
[17:52] <puppen> Cheers guys.. The amd bit kinda threw me..
[17:52] <mdm-irc> does anyone else has these flashes on gnome3 or there is smth wrong with my video driver or smth else
[17:53] <Arm0ur> compdoc: Why is it called amd64 anyway ? Is it because AMD was the first to market 64-bit processor ?
[17:53] <compdoc> cuz amd invented 64bit cpus that normal ppl could afford. Intel had the titanium, I think it was called
[17:54] <mdm-irc> and how to disable these notifications?
[17:56] <nailora> Arm0ur: the instruction set these processors (amds as well as intels) comes from amd, thus the name.
[17:56] <nailora> + use
[17:57] <compdoc> I just hope AMD can hang in there
[17:57] <Arm0ur> nailora: I can't believe Intel agreed to that naming scheme. Thanks !

[18:07] <Quintasan> rojj: I have this "Typing Assistant" turned on, but how do I use that?
[18:08] <michaeljwjr> good morning everyone, my update manager says I have updates to install but it won't update them. I keep getting error: Requires installation of untrusted packages - The action would require the installtion of packages from unathenticated sources.
[18:08] <michaeljwjr> details = win1.3 wine1.3-gecko
[18:09] <helo> usb-creator-gtk segfaulting for anyone else?
[18:09] <rojj> quintasan: keyboard appears (all the time) and you click on it to type
[18:09] <riffautae> michaeljwjr: have you added additional repos to your system?
[18:09] <Quintasan> rojj: Somehow nothing appears here
[18:11] <tash> hi, trying install Ubuntu server 10.04 on a system that already had a version of Red Hat installed with LVM. During install, it cannot partition the drive b/c an LVM exists. It says I have to remove that first.  I don't know how, can someone help?
[18:12] <rojj> quintasan: here it appears after about 5 secs and is resizeable
[18:12] <Quintasan> meh, whatever, I got some text to copy and used that as username and password

[18:19] <Guest79203> can anyone give me directions to che.indymedia network please?
[18:19] <michaeljwjr> riff yeah. I think.
[18:20] <michaeljwjr> this is one of those huge barriers to ubuntu not sucking.
[18:20] <michaeljwjr> updating should not be so difficult.
[18:22] <Rufus> Hello, i have got a problem, i inserted a hard disk from another oc and tried to boot it, now the onlz thing i get is a message from mz screen - screen mode not supported after the bios screens, i guess its got something to do with grub
[18:23] <dr_willis> Rufus:  if you get to the actual os. you can edit the /etc/default/grub and ether set a res. or set it to use a text mode menu.
[18:23] <Rufus> booting  a livedisk is possible btw
[18:23] <dr_willis> Rufus:  if you wait long enough grub should  boot the first entry. whatver that one is.
[18:23] <michaeljwjr> How do I update my ubuntu if my updated won't let me update wine?
[18:23] <Rufus> @dr_willis, i tried already, but i couldnt find an entry for the resolution
[18:25] <Rufus> @i already waited pretty long nothing happened though
[18:29] <cannonball> I have an old laptop with a busted display that I used to make a wireless gateway for a few machines that had no ehternet available to connect them to the lan.
[18:29] <cannonball> One of the items attached was a network printer.
[18:30] <cannonball> It sends network traffic using some kind of multicast so that it's discoverable.  I thought I used a tool named "mcast" or something like that to see the discoverable devices on the lan, but I'm on this Ubuntu 11.04 box and that package/program isn't available.
[18:30] <vbw> hello guys
[18:30] <cannonball> emcast doesn't seem to do what I'm looking for either.  What app/program will let me see what devices are discoverable on a LAN?  (I thought it was "mcast", but that doesn't appear to be it)
[18:30] <vbw> i was curious if someone can help me
[18:31] <vbw> where should i start in learning security in information security? what operating system and main principles should i learn?
[18:31] <dr_willis> cannonball:  if they are doing a samba server. ive used findsmb, or smbtree in the past.
[18:32] <nemo> cannonball: you mean, like, what is displayed if you access network:/// in nautilus? Places->Network
[18:32] <nemo> cannonball: printers, windows file shares.
[18:33] <cannonball> In this case, it was a network printer.  It showed something like _tcp.canon-blahblahblah.local or something liek that.
[18:33] <cannonball> Damn, I wish I was home so I could see what program I was using.
[18:33] <TBotNik> all: anyone good at getting an integer value from PHP date_diff function?
[18:33] <nemo> cannonball: I think system-config-printer also does printer discovery
[18:34] <wad> Whenever I get an email, Ubuntu thows a notification box on my screen. I need to tell it to not do that. In older versions, there was a way to manage how the system notified me. Where do I find that in 11.10?
[18:34] <cannonball> I'm on an 11.04 box now, but the one I was running it on is an 11.11 box, in case that makes a difference.
[18:34] <wad> (I get a lot of email, so the little box is almost always there, preventing me from using that part of my screen.)
[18:34] <cannonball> nemo: Note that I'm not trying to discover a printer, I want the command line app that shows discoverable devices on the network.  I'm stuck on the phrase "mcast" but it's highly likely that it's something else entirely.
[18:35] <XiaolinDraconis> would someone help me with my repo sources and the update manager?

[18:39] <dr_willis> ant0neo:   xchat or xchat-gnome?  the xchat homepage had decent docs on basic ussage of the client.
[18:39] <smile4ever> Marlin also for Lubuntu 10.10? :)
[18:39] <dr_willis> ant0neo:  either /server servername   or /connect servername   if you dont want to bother with the server listing int he menus
[18:39] <Tomatix> on previous ubuntu  version I had stickynotes, but I cannot figure how to get them back to this 11.10 version, at least the content. I really (REALLY), need them... How to bring it back (or where is the datafiles located at?)
[18:40] <ant0neo> xchat0otr

[18:40] <PMello> masters! anyone needs to install the CA SCM Harvest at linux?? I having trouble to install the ETPKI packages..
[18:40] <wad> Whenever I get an email, Ubuntu thows a notification box on my screen. I need to tell it to not do that. In older versions, there was a way to manage how the system notified me. Where do I find that in 11.10?
[18:40] <dr_willis> Tomatix:  you sure the notetaking app was called 'sticky notes' ?
[18:41] <Tomatix> yes
[18:41] <dr_willis> Tomatix:  what version of ubuntu had it?
[18:41] <XiaolinDraconis> dr_willis: how do i fix this?  my update manager has errors because of this
[18:41] <dr_willis> XiaolinDraconis:  remove the bad ppa from your source listings.
[18:41] <Tomatix> I used it previously on 11.0...4?
[18:42] <dr_willis> !find natty stickynotes
[18:42] <dr_willis> !find  stickynotes natty
[18:42] <Tomatix> although, stickynotes were a gnome2 applet
[18:42] <dr_willis> Tomatix:  i always used tomboynotes
[18:42] <dr_willis> !find  stickynotes
[18:42] <dr_willis> seesm to be in the gnome-applets package. :)
[18:43] <Tomatix> I'll try
[18:43] <cannonball> MahaVishnu: There is a commandline app that I can't remember the name of, that shows discoverable devices on the lan (using a local multicast discovery I think).  I used it on a 11.10 box that I built as a wireless gateway (and I could see a lan printer with it). I _thought_ it was called simply "mcast", but that seems to be wrong name.
[18:43] <ant0neo> thanks to the good doctor I 'hope' I dont return soon
[18:43] <cannonball> I'm trying to figure out what that app name is.
[18:43] <tobbes> greetings trying to get my cgi scripts to run on apache 2.0
[18:43] <dr_willis> night all.
[18:43] <nemo> cannonball: there's an automounter for fuse that creates shares, and looks like someone made one the "hard way" (using nmap and smbclient -L) to autocreate a directory tree
[18:43] <tobbes> on ubuntu 11
[18:44] <cannonball> hmmm, avahi-utils maybe...
[18:44] <tobbes> I've added a directory directive with Option +ExecCgi
[18:44] <tobbes> and also perl is installed
[18:44] <tobbes> what am I doing wrong?
[18:45] <MahaVishnu> cannonball, yea all I can think of is smbclient -L to show network printers...
[18:45] <MahaVishnu> cannonball, or smbtree like someone said along time ago
[18:45] <tobbes> 'cause when i try to load it  ubuntu tries to download it instead
[18:45] <nemo> cannonball: the package smbnetfs also makes a browsable tree
[18:46] <malachair> hello there
[18:46] <malachair> can some1 help me
[18:47] <malachair> i have problem with installing ubuntu 11.10 from usb
[18:48] <malachair> when i boot from usb it's frozing at syslinux 4.04 black screen
[18:48] <malachair> any solution?
[18:48] <nemo> malachair: my guess is a bios bug.
[18:48] <nemo> USB boot can be hit or miss, esp on older machines
[18:49] <cannonball> MahaVishnu: nemo: I think I found it.  avahi-discover seems to be the one.
[18:49] <malachair> how can i fix it?
[18:49] <nemo> malachair: you might have to use a CD, although posssibly it could be you need to make a smaller partition
[18:49] <nemo> malachair: like. some don't like partitions bigger than 1GiB
[18:49] <malachair> got it but we dont have cd-rom
[18:49] <malachair> its acer extensa 6600
[18:49] <nemo> malachair: no external USB cdrom you can borrow?
[18:50] <malachair> no :(
[18:50] <malachair> is there any boot for usb?
[18:50] <malachair> i mean program
[18:50] <nemo> malachair: try smaller USB partition when in the wizard then
[18:50] <malachair> ok
[18:50] <malachair> i'll try
[18:50] <nemo> malachair: you might also want to try a USB HD - I've found that worked when flash drive didn't - not sure why
[18:51] <MahaVishnu> cannonball, you were right! and that is a cool little program. it found my printer (although locally shared on this computer) through samba.
[18:51] <cannonball> I still am not convinced it's the same program I was usingn (don't recall a gui popping up), but it's definitely nice :-)
[18:52] <malachair> is this possible to make partition for usb?
[18:52] <Exxon> !fat
[18:52] <balrog-k1n> hey, does someone know of a place with all the popular python packages compiled against python3, as downloadable debian packages?
[18:53] <nemo> malachair: if you are using the USB boot disc wizard, just specify the size there
[18:53] <balrog-k1n> i'm particularly interested in a psycopg2 python3 package to point someone at
[18:53] <nemo> malachair: system->administration->startup disc creator that is
[18:54] <balrog-k1n> i sent them a python3 program which uses psycopg but they're running ubuntu and say it's not in their packages (at it looks like it's not)
[18:54] <balrog-k1n> s/at/and/
[18:54] <nemo> malachair: how did you create the usb boot device?
[18:54] <cannonball> MahaVishnu: mzclient also looks roughly the same, but without the gui output that avahi-discover provides.
[18:55] <malachair> i'm on my desktop atm, and its win 7. i did format from win7
[18:55] <malachair> and i'm using universal usb installer
[18:55] <malachair> from ubuntu's web site
[18:55] <nemo> malachair: m'k... never used it
[18:55] <malachair> now i format my usb stick to 1 gb
[18:55] <nemo> malachair: last time I made one from a windows machine, I just booted to ubuntu off a CD and used the wizard :)
[18:55] <malachair> :)
[18:56] <Exxon> malachair, nemo is right its usless blog..langing around
[18:57] <malachair> :)
[18:57] <malachair> i'll try my all chance
[18:59] <nemo> malachair: this is a prob w/ old bios
[18:59] <malachair> yes it is :)
[18:59] <malachair> its one of my friends laptop
[18:59] <nemo> malachair: similar to my car's media player I guess, which refuses to read any usb thumb drive w/ more than 1GiB partition size
[18:59] <nemo> (assuming you have same prob I had w/ older laptops)
[19:00] <Exxon> malachair, try it with the real provider  http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
[19:00] <s70rm> i got when i am starting gnome 3.2, 'Oo no, something is wrong, and system cannot recover', and i have options to disable some functions and Log Out button, but after doing that, i can't again login into Gnome ?
[19:01] <hermdwana> exit
[19:01] <hermdwana> exit
[19:01] <jasonmsp> where can I save iptables rules so they reload on start?
[19:01] <nemo> s70rm: I don't think I had your precise problem, but once when screwing around w/ gnome 3 advanced settings (I think I was trying to theme it) I managed to totally blow it up
[19:01] <nemo> s70rm: I "fixed" it by blowing away all my gnome config dirs :)
[19:01] <nemo> .gnome*, .gconf* etc
[19:02] <s70rm> nemo: what means that
[19:02] <s70rm> nemo: my error i mean
[19:02] <nemo> s70rm: no idea. I'm just suggesting you could possibly "fix" it the same way I did
[19:03] <s70rm> olk
[19:03] <nemo> s70rm: I just basically made sure I wasn't logged into gnome, switched to a terminal then rm -rf 'd  .gnome .gnome2 .gnome2_private .gconf .gconfd
[19:03] <nemo> s70rm: if that doesn't work, you could try blowing away .local too, but that screws up more more of your personal settings than just gnome :-/
[19:03] <malachair> is that possible to run linux setup from ms-dos?
[19:04] <nemo> malachair: lol.
[19:04] <malachair> ahahah :D
[19:04] <malachair> i'm thinking about everything :D
[19:04] <nemo> malachair: well. in a way, I guess...
[19:04] <nemo> malachair: you could dumpb a raw disc image to the machine
[19:04] <nemo> but. that's kind of... advanced
[19:04] <malachair> ya
[19:04] <nemo> I'd say stick w/ USB boot. safer.
[19:05] <ssfdre38> if i want to block web sites from a network, would squid proxy work just as fine?
[19:05] <nemo> try to find a CDROM drive for USB if you can :)
[19:05] <extio> ok, so i have been using lubuntu for like a week, i took it today to the coffee shop where i am nolw, and realized i needed to know the name of the network to use the wireless connection
[19:05] <extio> i had to ask some for the name of the network to type into the ssid in the network manager
[19:05] <extio> any suggestions on a tool to scan for networks without security?  such as to find the coffee shop network? and without screwing up my working connections preferably...
[19:05] <nemo> malachair: also, there might be some settings in your bios WRT USB - can't hurt to check.
[19:06] <helo> i can't get the grub boot menu to pop up, and don't get any display with these two ati cards plugged in
[19:06] <nemo> extio: this was a hidden network?
[19:06] <meway> my screen says "grub rescue>" o.O wuts this? I had some hardware failure recently
[19:06] <Rushing> hey all, i'm on windows 7 and having a helluva time mounting a virtualbox share
[19:06] <nemo> extio: one that was not broadcasting its name?
[19:06] <marabi2> Hi rushing
[19:06] <extio> no its just... lubuntu doesnt have a scanner i know of
[19:06] <Rushing> hi marabi2
[19:06] <helo> seems like a server install wouldn't mess with the effing framebuffer in the first place
[19:06] <meway> extio: there is a #lubuntu channel
[19:06] <malachair> is this live or netinstall we download from ubuntu web sitE?
[19:06] <marabi2> how are you doing?
[19:07] <extio> i know but theres no one paying attention... ok then...
[19:07] <Rushing> frustrated :P i've made sure my user is part of the vboxsf group, i have guest additions installed, and i've been going in circles for a couple hours
[19:07] <nemo> helo: if you're not seeing the grub boot menu that seems a bit far from blaming linux :)
[19:07] <marabi2> hope you fine
[19:07] <nemo> helo: does any display work before that? like, the usual boot/post stuff?
[19:07] <helo> of course heh
[19:07] <helo> i just ran the ubuntu install from usb
[19:08] <XiaolinDraconis> dr_willis, thanks that fixes my error
[19:08] <nemo> helo: ah. cool. ok. well. I know grub has a simple low res mode...
[19:08] <nemo> not that I know how to set it up or anything ;)
[19:08] <Exxon> extio, sorry we don't work that way
[19:08]  * nemo checks the ubuntu community documentation on grub
[19:08] <extio> its k. was just hoping.
[19:09] <nemo> helo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Resolution_Settings perhaps?
[19:09] <nemo> helo: but I thought there was one that didn't use fb at all...
[19:09] <helo> nemo: there is no interface that i am presented with at all to change anything
[19:09] <helo> i would be able to set vga=normal nomodeset if i could get _anything_
[19:09] <marabi2> hi nemo, how"re you doing?
[19:09] <nemo> helo: well. that's for once you actually boot
[19:09] <helo> as it is, looks like i'm going to do a blind login from console and use netcat to get a remote login
[19:10] <XiaolinDraconis> im trying to use gnome shell(i guess) want to use this site to install extensions https://extensions.gnome.org but it says gnome 3 is not up to date
[19:10] <helo> nemo: it's booting, but it isn't giving me any output at all
[19:10] <oCean> marabi2: this is the ubuntu support channel. Use #ubuntu-offtopic for social chat
[19:10] <XiaolinDraconis> are gnome 3 and gnome shell so totally different?
[19:10] <nemo> helo: yeah. but I mean, the fact you see nothing at the grub boot screen makes me think it has more to do w/ the new graphical grub boot
[19:10] <nemo> helo: which I'm guessing uses fb?  I mean, how else to render pretty images instead of text
[19:10] <marabi2> HI helo can we chat?
[19:10] <Exxon> helo, ubuntu has a good support for ati (vesa) drives, atleast you should know amd has stoped the support for ati ..
[19:11] <oCean> marabi2: this is support channel, not chat
[19:11] <helo> it's ok, i have my remote netcat bash going now :)
[19:11] <nemo> helo: heh. looks like there's a config option for console grub
[19:11] <nemo> helo: of course you'll have to get in first
[19:11] <nemo> # Uncomment to disable graphical terminal (grub-pc only)
[19:11] <nemo> #GRUB_TERMINAL=console
[19:11] <nemo> helo: then you'd have to do update-grub I guess
[19:12] <nemo> helo: and. yeah. why that isn't default on a server...
[19:16] <malachair> hell yeah
[19:16] <malachair> original one is working
[19:16] <malachair> :D
[19:17] <malachair> nemo: thanx
[19:17] <nemo> malachair: w/ 1GiB partition?
[19:17] <malachair> nope 4 gb :D
[19:17] <nemo> oh. interesting
[19:17] <pim> Hello is there any way I can forward my fn keys to wine?
[19:17] <nemo> malachair: just needed to recreate it?
[19:17] <malachair> yes but with original
[19:17] <marabi2> hello nemo how"re you doing?
[19:17] <nemo> ah. bad boot image then
[19:18] <theadmin> pim: Such as? Wine will likely have no reaction to them because it doesn't really support emulating most of em... Some might of work, and if they would they will right out of the box
[19:18] <malachair> yes
[19:18] <pim> theadmin, i am running foobar2000 in wine, I want to be able to use pause/play and next/previous from my keyboard
[19:19] <pim> with banshee I can, since gnome accepts it as a mediaplayer
[19:19] <nascentmind> Hi. How do I get better colors with a black on white background for my terminal? Most of the colors are very light.
[19:20] <aeon-ltd> nascentmind: by editing .Xdefaults
[19:21] <nascentmind> aeon-ltd, I changed  black on white there. What about changing all the light green to dark green? Can it be written there?
[19:21] <aeon-ltd> nascentmind: yes
[19:21] <aeon-ltd> nascentmind: here for more examples and copy/pastable configs https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=51818
[19:22] <pim> alternatively I could use a native linux mediaplayer
[19:22] <pim> however, i haven found one like foobar2000
[19:22] <pim> very very configurable
[19:22] <pim> and able to sort files according to folder structure, rather than album/artist etc
[19:26] <DaZ> clementine can do that too, iirc

[19:45] <StepNjump> Hi, I have a problem. I am running ubuntu on a usb pendrive and I'm trying to copy some files from one mounted partition to another.  It only copied a few and then told me the device is full. When I df, it really says it's full but when I use nautilus, select all the folders, it says it's only full at 50% of the capacity... Why is that? Is it because the trashbin is full. I don't get it! thanks

[19:45] <XiaolinDraconis> heck even for experienced
[19:45] <neersighted> XiaolinDraconis: So is Compiz, but thounds use it every day
[19:45] <neersighted> *thousands
[19:45]  * neersighted tries to re-config his x-org
[19:46] <neersighted> hmmm
[19:46] <neersighted> Exxon: That seems a little extreme
[19:46] <theadmin> neersighted: rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[19:46] <tjiggi_fo> LemonAid, http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/
[19:47] <XiaolinDraconis> compiz "usually" doesnt make you re-install an OS
[19:47] <XiaolinDraconis> lmao
[19:47] <neersighted> Exxon: I don't think its a Xorg problem
[19:47] <XiaolinDraconis> course synaptic can do that
[19:47] <neersighted> XiaolinDraconis: I had a friend who completely killed lightdm from compiz
[19:47] <neersighted> XiaolinDraconis: Never got a gui again
[19:47] <XiaolinDraconis> lol sounds kinda hard to do
[19:47] <JokesOnYou77> XiaolinDraconis: No, I have sudo permissions, the drive is partially corrupted and I
[19:47] <neersighted> if you tweak to many settings before reboot...
[19:48] <neersighted> it crashes unity
[19:48] <neersighted> can I just delete xorg.conf?
[19:48] <JokesOnYou77> I'm repartitioning around bad sectors
[19:48] <Melki> Thankx, guys. U were the best. One more thing though, i am dual booting with windows, could that be a problem? Long answers are also welcomed.
[19:48] <Exxon> !lightdm
[19:48] <Exxon> ! lightdm
[19:49] <JokesOnYou77> neersighted: Hai! I don't suppose you know the command?  I don't think I have the tweak too installed
[19:49] <XiaolinDraconis> yeah i keep re-installing myself, im now learning to rely on cli to install things
[19:49] <LemonAid> tjiggi_fo, ehm.. thanx, i did search before i asked here, ran across that site, and it does not contain any helpful information.
[19:49] <neersighted> JokesOnYou77: Nope, sorry
[19:49] <neersighted> JokesOnYou77: I would just add the ppa
[19:49] <neersighted> Exxon: Can I just delete it?

[19:57] <mdfk> MahaVishnu i ask :)
[19:58] <Exxon> neersighted, restart there is nothing to show there
[19:59] <Shizuo16> won't work  i think it's undetectable
[19:59] <neersighted> rebooting!
[19:59] <BluesKaj> neersighted, to create a xorg.conf file run sudo Xorg -configure
[20:00] <MahaVishnu> Shizuo16, are you saying your dvd drive isn't working. isn't playing movies or...??
[20:00] <Exxon> BluesKaj, i don't think he appropriately know the hardware that he
[20:00] <Shizuo16> can't find it
[20:01] <grendal-prime> hey after editing the sudoers file do you need to do anything for the changes to be huped?
[20:01] <MahaVishnu> Shizuo16, you can't find your dvd drive? it's probably in /media
[20:01] <butti> hello, could anybody send me a file from one 10.04: libstdc++.so.6
[20:01] <Shizuo16> can't find it there

[20:02] <IanWizard-Cloud> Anybody know what will replace banshee in 12.04?
[20:02] <nep1x_> hi buddies! I am planning to install ubuntu in my notebook, a Intel Atom CPU N270 1.60Ghz, 1GB RAM. what version of ubuntu do you think suit better?
[20:02] <MahaVishnu> Shizuo16, what kind of disc is in your dvd drive ?
[20:02] <Shizuo16> data
[20:02] <neersighted> back
[20:03] <sskalnik> nep1x_, You may try a lightweight desktop such as the one provided in Lubuntu
[20:03] <sskalnik> nep1x_, As far as the version, I recommend the latest one that works well with your system.
[20:03]  * neersighted kisses Exxon's ass
[20:03] <neersighted> THANKS!
[20:04]  * IanWizard-Cloud kisses Exxon's ass
[20:04] <neersighted> That was driving me crazy
[20:04]  * IanWizard-Cloud feels closeto neersighted
[20:04] <neersighted> lol ass-kissing parteh!
[20:04] <neersighted> Oh yeah
[20:04] <Exxon> yeh! that wonderful thanks
[20:04] <neersighted> Can anyone help me setup incron?
[20:04] <MahaVishnu> Shizuo16, sudo lshw -C disk
[20:04] <neersighted> I ALWAYS have bad luck with cron
[20:04] <neersighted> it hates me T_T
[20:05] <stowoda> hi.. cant shut down my usb-hdd-drive properly: http://nopaste.info/5d572a7dfd.html
[20:05] <nep1x_> I downloaded the newest one, install it in a USB as the website instructions said, but it doesn't work
[20:05] <nep1x_> i don't know why
[20:05] <nep1x_> what is lubuntu?
[20:05] <MahaVishnu> Shizuo16, put that in pastie.org
[20:05] <neersighted> The one time cron worked, i had put rm -rf / as a joke to a friend, to prove that cron was bork
[20:05] <neersighted> it was terrible
[20:05] <MahaVishnu> wow -_-
[20:05] <oCean> neersighted: DON'T post that command here
[20:05] <neersighted> Cron sucks T_T or i just suck
[20:05] <oCean> !danger
[20:05] <neersighted> lol
[20:06] <MahaVishnu> lol
[20:06] <neersighted> sorry
[20:06] <neersighted> touch rainbowsandhappiness
[20:06] <neersighted> better?
[20:06] <Shizuo16> he find only My 2 hard disks
[20:06] <MahaVishnu> Shizuo16, is this sata dvd drive ?
[20:06] <neersighted> So, can anyone help me here?
[20:06] <Exxon> nep1x_, light weight distro really good one..simple and easy
[20:06] <neersighted> I have a incron script that i want to rsync to my webserver
[20:07] <Shizuo16> nop
[20:07] <neersighted> I don't have FTP, but  i do have SFTP
[20:07] <neersighted> And Shutter only supports FTP
[20:07] <nep1x_> sskalnik> are you sure that the newest version works well with my system?
[20:07] <nep1x_> I have tried and I could't install it
[20:07] <MahaVishnu> Shizuo16, is it possible it has died, or the cable has come loose, cause if it does not show up in lshw -C disk then ubuntu is not seeing it at all.
[20:07] <neersighted> so i have it listening for changes to my Pictures/screenshots folder, to rsync itr
[20:07] <neersighted> *it
[20:08] <Exxon> nep1x_, burn a cd instead.
[20:08] <JGAN> hi guys
[20:08] <Shizuo16> i just tried to boot from live cd and he work greatly
[20:08] <JGAN> if i use sbackup
[20:08] <nep1x_> ok, Exxon I gonna try it
[20:08] <nep1x_> thanks for the advices
[20:08] <JGAN> will it backup my file permissions?
[20:08] <nep1x_> I don't have a USB CD ROM :(
[20:09] <MahaVishnu> Shizuo16, dmesg | grep DVD and dmesg | grep CD anything ?
[20:09] <StepNjump> .
[20:09] <sskalnik> nep1x_, I would try 11.10 Oneiric.
[20:10] <sskalnik> nep1x_, The 11.10 version of Lubuntu would probably be a good choice.
[20:10] <neersighted> Oh, is it a bad practice to mount my other partition at /windoze?
[20:10] <neersighted> should i put it in /media/windoze?
[20:11] <neersighted> y u all so vhost?
[20:11] <MahaVishnu> neersighted, no but you will have to make the folder with sudo since its at root and chown it to the user:group you want to mount it under.
[20:11] <Shizuo16> i wrot dmsg but nothing about dvd or cd
[20:11] <neersighted> MahaVishnu: Already did :P Even got the fs tab working with nothing but nano and a few guesses
[20:11] <neersighted> intuition FTW!
[20:11] <MahaVishnu> neersighted, thats what im talkin about pimpin.
[20:11] <Devvvv> Is there a way to upgrade apache2 quicker on Ubuntu 10.04?
[20:11] <neersighted> :p
[20:11] <neersighted> sudo apt-get upgrade?
[20:12] <Devvvv> packets don't always seem up to date with the latest
[20:12] <neersighted> hmmm
[20:12] <nep1x_> I mount the system in a USB using the instructions provided in ubuntu website, using a program called Universal-USB running in window. this is the good way, isn't it?
[20:12]  * neersighted updated his server just for the latest nano
[20:12] <neersighted> KEYBINDS!
[20:12] <nep1x_> Can I use it for mounting lubuntu?
[20:12] <neersighted> nep1x_: What do you want to mount?
[20:13] <Shizuo16> nothing at all
[20:13] <zoik> hi I've just installed a VPN server on a machine for some basic testing, I'm finding that I can connect fine but cannot access the rest of the network, I'm assuming IPTables has something to do with this, could anyone help?
[20:13] <Exxon> nep1x_, there is wubi.exe in lubuntu is it
[20:13] <neersighted> MahaVishnu: Oh yeah, can I continue to mount ubuntu.iso to media/cdrom, or should i burn a copy
[20:13] <neersighted> Has anyone here sucusuffly migrated from wubi to a full-dual-boot?
[20:13] <MahaVishnu>  Shizuo16 thats not a good sign. like I said ubuntu is not seeing that drive. idk why but you said  you just used it to boot a live-cd sorry idk whats wrong with it exactly.
[20:14] <neersighted> Shizuo16: Does gparted see it?
[20:14] <neersighted> Anyone?
[20:14] <MahaVishnu> neersighted, its a cd-rom and lshw isnt seeing it so gparted wont.
[20:14] <MahaVishnu> dvd-rom * or rw.
[20:14] <nep1x_> yeah i can, i have checked it, ok I am gonna install lubuntu 11.10 with Universal USB
[20:14] <nep1x_> mount no sorry, install the image .iso in a USB stick to install the OS in my notebook without CD-ROM
[20:14] <Exxon> neersighted, make some sense man
[20:14] <neersighted> lol
[20:14] <ubuntu1> how can I list the size of each top level folder only? Like when I ls -a, I would like to know the size of each directory in a listing without having to list all sub dirs? du ?
[20:15] <JGAN> hey guys, is there a way to repair file permissions for the whole system?
[20:15] <neersighted> Exxon: Has anyone sucussfuly migrated from Wubi with windows on the MBR, to linux/windoze on seperate partitons with grub on the MB
[20:15] <neersighted> *MBR
[20:15]  * neersighted wants to see if there is anything he needs to look out for
[20:15] <JGAN> been googling for a bit but havent come up with anything just yet
[20:15] <neersighted> Bugs, glitches, horror stories, ect
[20:16] <ubuntu1> JGAN when it happened, I had to recreate a new profile
[20:16] <Shizuo16> No
[20:16] <Shizuo16> can't see it also with gparted :/
[20:16] <Exxon> neersighted, wubi is designed to boot on the mbr there is no doubt ..its only to test can the user get along..along enough then can switch ..simple
[20:16]  * neersighted goes to tweak his screenshot upload script
[20:16] <ubuntu1> JGAN however, I manually corrected my permissions for Thunderbird and that took me a while...  I don't think there is.. sorry
[20:17] <neersighted> Exxon: Yeah, except wubi has no migrate-to-dedi-install button
[20:17] <ubuntu1> how can I list the size of each top level folder only? Like when I ls -a, I would like to know the size of each directory in a listing without having to list all sub dirs? du ?
[20:17] <JGAN> ubuntu1: ok, yea i did it under root to my whole drive
[20:17] <neersighted> I had to manually transefer files/edit fstab/etc
[20:17] <stowoda> is something wrong with my usb-hdd? plz have a look at this: http://nopaste.info/794a4cc447.html
[20:17] <oCean> ubuntu1: du -sk  show size in kilobytes
[20:17] <ubuntu1> Oh no, forget it JGAN! I had just done it to my home folder and I was toast so you are REALLY toast
[20:17] <JGAN> yea haha
[20:17] <stowoda> why the same hdd is sdb and sdb1 ?
[20:17] <oCean> ubuntu1: so..  du -sk *
[20:17] <ubuntu1> Thanjs oCean
[20:17] <Exxon> neersighted, there is no migration stuff on wubi..it only the new user
[20:18] <JGAN> is there an option such as repair install?
[20:18] <MahaVishnu> ubuntu1, du -S
[20:18] <ubuntu1> Not that I'm aware of JGAN. Just create a new profile and move your data in the new profile
[20:18] <neersighted> Exxon: Exactly
[20:18] <JGAN> alright thanks ubuntu1
[20:18] <neersighted> I had to "hack" my way to a dedi install
[20:18] <Shizuo16> Nothing att all
[20:19] <neersighted> Now I have burg, dualbooting Ubuntu/Windoze for me
[20:19] <neersighted> <3
[20:19]  * neersighted is in love with his computer right now
[20:19] <oCean> JGAN: I don't believe there is such possibility in Ubuntu. rpm based distro's actually provide an option to restore to default permissions - but that's no good to you now :(
[20:19] <MahaVishnu> neersighted, use dd or clonezilla to clone your drive incase  you mess up.
[20:19] <ubuntu1> JGAN if I were you, I would disconnect from the internet because depending what permissions you granted your system, you might get some exploits that mught destroy your data. Sign off internet and recreate a new profile
[20:19] <neersighted> i already did
[20:19] <neersighted> With no backup
[20:19] <ubuntu1> JGAN do you understand what I mean?
[20:19] <neersighted> Liek a baws (tm)
[20:20] <MahaVishnu> lol
[20:20] <JGAN> ubuntu1:  yea
[20:20] <neersighted> Wanted to se if anyone had done the same and had pointers/warning
[20:20] <neersighted> looks like im the only one lol
[20:20] <JGAN> everything is set as root:root :/
[20:20] <ubuntu1> JGAN you are probably open like an open door right now.. No security if you chmod 777 ooops!
[20:20] <MahaVishnu> neersighted, i've messed up my shiza plenty of times. thats why i keep a clonezilla backup of my entire ssd.
[20:20] <ubuntu1> oh JGAN, so you just chown?
[20:21] <arcsky> if i want to encrypt a file lets say ~/test.txt how can i do that in an easy way ?
[20:21] <JGAN> well i chmod 700 too
[20:21] <MahaVishnu> chmod 755 not 777
[20:21] <neersighted> It was SO close tho, my sister saw partition magic in windows stuck at 27% of resizing my hdd. She almost did a hard shutdown it the midle of a disk resize
[20:21] <neersighted> >_>
[20:21] <JGAN> dont ask why i did this
[20:21] <oCean> JGAN: getting back to a normal situation is going to be a real pain
[20:22]  * neersighted keeps most of his important shiz on a server
[20:22] <neersighted> yay for filezilla's double click to edit mode!
[20:22] <JGAN> youre telling me... i didnt keep good backups either :/
[20:22] <neersighted> and yay for rsync!
[20:22] <MahaVishnu> JGAN, i think you have learned a valuable lesson here. and it's time for you to reinstall.
[20:22] <oCean> neersighted: please stop the random comments
[20:22] <MahaVishnu> JGAN, do a dd / clonezilla backup
[20:22] <neersighted> kk
[20:22] <JGAN> but would that backup the file permissions?
[20:23] <MahaVishnu> JGAN, its byte by byte so yea 1's and 0's
[20:23] <JGAN> damnit
[20:23] <MahaVishnu> JGAN, and dd you can do it in 1 ez cmd
[20:23] <JGAN> yea thats the same with sbackup
[20:23] <JGAN> im probably just gonna do a whole clean reinstall
[20:23] <neersighted> Is it at all pratical to use git to back up your ~?
[20:24] <ubuntu1> JGAN listen, I'm sort of new to linux but I know that permissions are there to avoid viruses namely to execute or other exploits... You are 'probably' at risk.  Whatever software is important to you, I mean it's data, move the data to your new profile and manually change the permissions (I did that with my thunderbird data located in ~/.thunderbird).. A
[20:24] <MahaVishnu> neersighted, i dont think so...
[20:24] <ubuntu1> lot of data is located in your home folder, hidden so you need to ctrl H in your nautilus to see them or ls -al
[20:24]  * neersighted was thinking that with it would work well, if yor ~ was reasonably sized
[20:24] <JGAN> i dont have anything of value on that system
[20:24] <oCean> ubuntu1: that's not going to help, because he did a recursive chown/chmod from root
[20:24] <JGAN> just the regular files
[20:24] <JGAN> and some docs/pics
[20:25] <neersighted> multpul file version, fast transfer speeds, and the ablity to check out a different branch to hide secret files
[20:25] <neersighted> hmmmm
[20:25] <rootux> I got a the "ASURO" it's an robot for beginner from the DLR and Robotkit. I connected the USB IR-Transceiver with my PC and typed in the command: sudo cat /proc/tty/driver/usbserial  --> printed the following lines: usbserinfo:1.0 driver:2.0  0: module:ftdi_sio name:"FTDI USB Serial Device" vendor: 0403 product:6001 num_ports:1 port:1 path:usb-0000:00:1d.3-1 -->after that I install and start CuteCom and set the suitable values like: (Device, Ba
[20:25] <rootux> udrate...) --> but than appears the problem --> when I click "Open device" a window appears "Error: Could not open /dev/ttyUSB0"  What can I do?
[20:25] <buntstift> hi
[20:25] <JGAN> yea i did chmod and chown recursively... real bad idea
[20:25] <oCean> neersighted: once more: stop the random offtopic remarks. If you have a question, ask it detailed in single line
[20:25] <neersighted> okay.
[20:25] <buntstift> can somebody paste my the /usr/share/xsessions/ubuntu.desktop file? I've overwritten it by accident
[20:25] <ubuntu1> I know oCean. Me I did this just recursive from my home folder and it was a mess
[20:25] <buntstift> me
[20:26] <oCean> ubuntu1: then you would know it has nothing to do with profiles
[20:26] <ubuntu1> It's ok to do JGAN but ensure you are in a data folder with nothing underneath it.. like /Documents/datacrap
[20:26] <neersighted> buntstift: http://pastie.org/2987739
[20:26] <Exxon> buntstift, paste is not valid
[20:27] <neersighted> ?
[20:27] <neersighted> My paste is invalid?
[20:27] <ubuntu1> oCean oh yes! Gosh Ocean is right JGAN! nevermind.... Sorry.. I guesss he needs to reinstall everything eh? I mean a new install of ubuntu! oh!!!!
[20:27] <neersighted> O_o
[20:27] <JGAN> haha alright
[20:27] <oCean> http://pastie.org/2987749
[20:27] <JGAN> i will get to it later
[20:27] <oCean> Hmm
[20:27] <ubuntu1> oCean.. I guess I know just enough to get myself in trouble as usual grrrr
[20:27] <Exxon> neersighted, yes..but ..x..??
[20:28] <neersighted> Exxon: x?
[20:28] <neersighted> thats mine
[20:28] <neersighted> i just cat'd it, is it wrong?
[20:28] <ubuntu1> that's how we learn JGAN. Learning isn't free!
[20:28] <buntstift> neersighted: thank you very much!
[20:28] <JGAN> payapl?
[20:28] <ubuntu1> .
[20:28] <JGAN> paypal? :)
[20:28] <neersighted> buntstift: np

[20:29] <Nattgew> I'm getting a package error...  After I recreated my new profile, I had remembered that I had mv all my data and docs from old_profile to my new_profile. My partition was small (35 GB) so the system kept warning me that I was down to 1.5 MB in my system. I then deleted old_profile to find out it had cleared 15 GB of space which got me to panick when I had realized I hadn't moved everything indeed! I even
[20:32] <ubuntu1>  told the system to delete everything (double oooops). So I guess there is no other way to try to recover this mess bit by bit, sector per sector right?
[20:33] <ubuntu1> am I still connected?
[20:33] <Devvvv> no
[20:34] <oCean> ubuntu1: "recovering" from ext3/ext4 filesystems is not easy and not always possible. There are several tools such as foremost
[20:35] <ubuntu1> right oCean... Would it have been easier with ext2?
[20:35] <oCean> ubuntu1: nope. The tip is: always backup
[20:36] <giorgio> allora uso ubuntu  solo che nn mi si vedono più icone sul desktop mi si vedono solo le 2 barre  superiore e inferiore e sul ubuntu software center quando  seleziono un programma mi spunta scarica e quando clicco nn sucede nulla
[20:36] <ubuntu1> Yeah I know oCean.. I had just started so that's why I didn't back up yet

[20:45] <CarlFK> er, not natty.  oneiric.

[20:52] <Natesky9> Hello?
[20:52] <Natesky9> Hello?
[20:52] <Pici> Rushing: Is /etc/fstab not working out for somer eason?
[20:52] <MahaVishnu> Rushing, /etc/fstab to automount
[20:53] <Natesky9> Could someone give me some help?
[20:53] <Pici> !ask | Natesky9
[20:53] <genii-around> Rushing: Is it a local drive or a network drive?
[20:53] <alaing> trying to use putty on a windows 7 machine to connect to ubuntu server 11.10 but it keeps timing out
[20:53] <onnotonno> how do I login on xchat? :S
[20:53] <Pici> alaing: Is ssh running?
[20:53] <ubuntu1> oCean, how can I view what's in a .arc file?
[20:53] <alaing> the server is running a website and it online
[20:54] <ubuntu1> what do you mean how do you log in onnotonno
[20:54] <Natesky9> I'm trying to figure out File sharing, and I've tried everything, but it's not working. Could someone help me out?
[20:54] <alaing> Pici it should be. it was working before
[20:54] <onnotonno> yes
[20:54] <onnotonno> ubuntu1, yes
[20:54] <ubuntu1> you just run it onnotonno
[20:55] <onnotonno> run it? ubuntu1?
[20:55] <oCean> ubuntu1: .arc file? I only know those from Oracle
[20:55] <Pici> alaing: I'd make sure that you can still access port 22 on that server from your location.
[20:55] <ubuntu1> Is it installed on your computer already onnotonno
[20:55] <Pici> onnotonno: Have you already registered here? If not, see /msg nickserv help register, if you have, /msg nickserv help identify... if you need more help then ask in #freenode
[20:56] <alaing> Pici I changed it to use port 2120
[20:56] <ubuntu1> Yes it's weird oCean, I have a 28 GB .arc file I have no idea what it is in an old kubuntu installation. Before deleting it, I wanted to know what it is
[20:56] <Pici> alaing: Then make sure that you can access that port from your current location.
[20:56] <ubuntu1> onnotonno: go to terminal and type xchat <Enter>
[20:56] <Rushing> Pici, i'm seeing tutorials for fstab and /etc/rc.local
[20:56] <alaing> Pici: the only change is that the servers beeing unplugged and offline for about a month and I changed the workgroup name on the router.
[20:57] <anerion> i have a huawei e220 umts modem that doesn't work with network-manager, but it works fine if i use wvdial. can anyone help me find the problem?
[20:57] <Pici> alaing: That shouldn't make any difference.
[20:57] <Rushing> the names are kinda cryptic to me, so i just want to understand it better and make sure i'm doing it right
[20:57] <silence_> c
[20:57] <oCean> ubuntu1: I really have no idea what kind of file that is. You can try running  file filename.arc  could help dermine the filetype
[20:57] <sskalnik> How does one uninstall a package that was installed from source? Do I need to manually clean it all out of the system?
[20:57] <oCean> *determine
[20:57] <ubuntu1> oCean I wish I had known about du -skh * before! I wouldn't have deleted important data in my ~/ with that one... Like I said, learning isn't free!!!! grrrrr
[20:57] <Pici> Rushing: /etc/fstab is the proper place to mount drives.
[20:57] <Natesky9> Can someone help me with personal File sharing? I've tried Samba and the default file sharing, but I'm having no luck with sharing from one computer to another
[20:57] <MahaVishnu> ubuntu1, file whatever.arc
[20:57] <alaing> Pici:  I know just really strange that I cant connect
[20:57] <jrib> sskalnik: well did you actually install a package? (.deb)
[20:57] <Rushing> and what's rc.local exactly?
[20:57] <alaing> Pici:  apart from trying with putty how would i try and connect from my location
[20:57] <ManDay> I just came here to congratulate whoever did the Ubuntu-Tour Browser application. That is purely amazing work...
[20:58] <ubuntu1> Natesky9, what happens?
[20:58] <sskalnik> jrib:  No, just "make \ make install"
[20:58] <onnotonno> understood :) thanks ubuntu1 but what I wanted to find is the command identify to login and with my nickname and password, thanks pici for help out! :)
[20:58] <ManDay> The most impressive demonstration of JS (html5?) ive ever seen
[20:58] <alaing> Manday do you have a link?
[20:58] <ubuntu1> MahaVishnu: what do you mean file whatever.arc?
[20:58] <ManDay> alaing: http://www.ubuntu.com/tour
[20:58] <MahaVishnu> ubuntu1, to determine what kind of file it is.
[20:58] <jrib> sskalnik: then all you can do is read the software's documentation.  Sometimes there is a "make uninstall" rule, so you can try that if the documentation does not prove fruitful.  Otherwise, just delete files manually
[20:58] <ManDay> There you go, enjoy :)
[20:58] <Natesky9> Ubuntul, I can look at the shares that I can create on a computer, but it never is able to mount. I have both computers set up on the same workgroup and everything
[20:59] <ubuntu1> onnotonno no password the server is irc.ubuntu.com and the port 8001
[20:59] <MahaVishnu> ManDay, did you create ubuntu.com/tour? it would be funny if you did ;-P
[20:59] <alaing> ManDay:  WOW all of that in a browser...
[20:59] <ubuntu1> oh I see MahaVishnu thanks. I'll check it out
[20:59] <ManDay> MahaVishnu: haha
[20:59] <ManDay> no I didn't ;)
[21:00] <MahaVishnu> yea its nice work.
[21:00] <ManDay> But it would be funny, indeed :D
[21:01] <alaing> Pici:  apart from trying with putty how would i try and connect from my location
[21:01] <ubuntu1> MahaVishnu: just 'file whateverfile.arc'?
[21:01] <MahaVishnu> ubuntu1, yea
[21:01] <ubuntu1> doesn't seem to work for me.. Do I need to install file through apt-get 1st MahaVishnu
[21:02] <MahaVishnu> i wouldnt think so. but try it
[21:02] <ecfu> i've got a bunch of noob questions, somebody mind pming me? regarding setting up a dual boot on an old thinkpad
[21:02] <oCean> !info file
[21:02] <oCean> ^ ubuntu1 it's installed by default  (/usr/bin/file)
[21:03] <alaing> ecfu: why not just ask here?
[21:03] <ecfu> it's pretty basic stuff
[21:03] <ubuntu1> MahaVishnu: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/764243/
[21:03] <ecfu> but i will
[21:03] <ubuntu1> yes but I get errors oCean
[21:03] <alaing> ecfu: everyone has to learn sometime
[21:03] <Rushing> so, looks like i'm stuck in a shell after executing an app
[21:04] <Rushing> how do i get out?
[21:04] <Rushing> (sry unix 001 stuff, i know)
[21:04] <ecfu> so i've got an old ibm t42, which i love, but i just upgraded to windows 7 and now video's choppy, probably too much for the archaic raedon 7500.  so i was thinking about setting up a dual boot
[21:04] <ubuntu1> Rushing command &
[21:04] <MahaVishnu> ubuntu1, that is all cut off on my screen can you paste to pastie.org
[21:05] <oCean> ubuntu1: you have to 'escape' the dollarsigns:  file \$media\$04dbc2e9-903e-49ae-b210-1fbd1668d678.arc
[21:05] <ubuntu1> k MahaVishnu
[21:05] <MahaVishnu> ubuntu1, just do what Ocean said
[21:05] <MahaVishnu> yea why do you have $
[21:05] <ecfu> several questions.  1) is it possible to create a ubuntu partition on my already partitioned hard drive
[21:05] <ubuntu1> MahaVishnu: http://pastie.org/2987929
[21:05] <DJAnonimo> hi
[21:05] <Rushing> ubuntu1, that doesn't seem to do anything
[21:05] <alaing> ecfu: yes
[21:06] <DJAnonimo> under "locale -a" i dont see my language charset... how can I install it....
[21:06] <Exxon> ecfu, engtrino tech..win 7 use xp instead dual boot with lubuntu thinks will work fine with 512 ram on it
[21:06] <MahaVishnu> ubuntu1, why are you using $ ?
[21:06] <alaing> ecfu: have you see/heard of wubi? http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer
[21:06] <Exxon> ecfu, centrino tech..win 7 use xp instead dual boot with lubuntu thinks will work fine with 512 ram on it
[21:06] <MahaVishnu> ubuntu1, file /media/04dbc2e9-903e-49ae-b210-1fbd1668d678.arc
[21:07] <ecfu> exxon, if i revert to xp my problems are already solved
[21:07] <Natesky9> Wubi may not run properly with an old system with little ram on it
[21:07] <ecfu> alain i have not
[21:07] <ubuntu1> Oh I see oCean: here is the output $media$04dbc2e9-903e-49ae-b210-1fbd1668d678.arc: data
[21:07] <ecfu> cool, ram's not a problem, i have 1.25..
[21:07] <ubuntu1> Mahav $media$04dbc2e9-903e-49ae-b210-1fbd1668d678.arc: data
[21:07] <oCean> ubuntu1: "data" well, that doesn't narrow it down :(
[21:07] <MahaVishnu> ubuntu1, well, idk you said this file is from an old install, if you don't know what it is. what are the odds you need it ?
[21:08] <ubuntu1> Rushing, I'm not very good at linux. This may not be your answer.. Just tried to help
[21:08] <Exxon> ecfu, 7 spec are too high instead use L-ubuntu (as its light weight) forget win 7 require more that 2 gb that don't support.
[21:08] <alaing> ecfu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide
[21:09] <ubuntu1> MahaVishnu: I don't know. It was like that in there. I didn't do it... Maybe the kubuntu created it, I don't know... Might have been made with dejadup I don't know
[21:09] <ecfu> sweet
[21:09] <ubuntu1> lol oCean
[21:09] <Natesky9> Could someone help me with a file sharing Issue? I'm trying access files on another computer, and I've had no luck with samba or the default File sharing. Plz Help
[21:09] <MahaVishnu> ubuntu1, ubuntu requires no 28gb files to run....
[21:09] <JokesOnYou77> Rushing: you still there?
[21:09] <Rushing> yes
[21:10] <JokesOnYou77> Rushing: Are you still stuck in a shell now?
[21:10] <ubuntu1> I'm so disorganized it's unbelievable MahaVishnu ... I understand your point but whatever I keep, I don't need and whatever I delete, I figure out later that it was not a backup but an archive grrrr
[21:10] <Rushing> JokesOnYou77, yes i am
[21:10] <ubuntu1> I need an organization within 101 course MahaVishnu
[21:10] <MahaVishnu> ubuntu1, can you open that file in archive manager? it make take forever since its 28gb and compressed
[21:10] <JokesOnYou77> Rushing: Ctrl+c will kill the command running now so you can restart it in the background
[21:11] <ubuntu1> that's it.. that's why I would like to know what it is before I delete it
[21:11] <ubuntu1> that's it.. that's why I would like to know what it is before I delete it MahaVishnu
[21:11] <Rushing> doesn't seem like ANY commands are doing anything :/
[21:11] <Natesky9> What file is 28 Gig in an archive??(O.o)
[21:11] <Rushing> ctrl+C, ctrl+\, etc
[21:11] <JokesOnYou77> Rushing: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[21:11] <Exxon> JokesOnYou77, he's already done that ; perhaps he knows it
[21:11] <ubuntu1> could it be one.ubuntu MahaVishnu
[21:11] <Rushing> whatever the latest stable server is
[21:12] <JokesOnYou77> k.  Can you get to a virtual terminal?
[21:12] <Rushing> i don't know the IP lol :/
[21:12] <ubuntu1> I have terabytes of files that I don't know if they are archives or backup.. The stress is high! MahaVishnu ocean
[21:12] <ubuntu1> and more I mess up, more they mount up
[21:12] <MahaVishnu> ubuntu1, sudo apt-get install arc
[21:12] <Rushing> the problem is that this script is in rc.local, so it runs everytime i boot and then i can't type anything
[21:13] <MahaVishnu> ubuntu1, arc -x /media/whatever/file.arc
[21:13] <ubuntu1> and my short term memory is really bad MahaVishnu so... well that explains it
[21:13] <ubuntu1> from a concussion
[21:14] <Exxon> Rushing, did you configure scipt in rc.local
[21:14] <ubuntu1> Ok let me try that MahaVishnu
[21:14] <MahaVishnu> mine is really bad too, from something I cant mention here
[21:14] <JokesOnYou77> If it's frozen, really frozen, you might need to push the button manually.  In the server, can you hit Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to a virtual term?
[21:14] <Rushing> Exxon, yes i did :x noob
[21:14] <ubuntu1> MahaVishnu: where does it install all this on my hdd when I run on a live usb pendrive?
[21:15] <MahaVishnu> ubuntu1, to some temp folder I think prolly /tmp
[21:15] <Exxon> Rushing, then simply remove it ; replace it when fully tested
[21:15] <Natesky9> Can someone help me with a File sharing Issue?
[21:15] <MahaVishnu> ubuntu1, that cmd is supposed to extract .arc archives into the current folder. so make sure there is room for 28gb of data. maybe more if its compressed.
[21:15] <ubuntu1> Yes but on which partition MahaVishnu ? I will paste you my fdisk -l if you want
[21:15] <Rushing> Exxon, how, i can't get to a terminal?
[21:15] <MonkeyDust> !ask| Natesky9
[21:15] <Rushing> the app im running takes of the terminal
[21:16] <MahaVishnu> ubuntu1, I don't really need your fdisk
[21:16] <JokesOnYou77> Rushing: reboot off a live disk?
[21:16] <Rushing> what do you mean?
[21:16] <Rushing> i'm just f'ing stuck in a terminal after calling an app, and i can't get out of it
[21:16] <ubuntu1> MahaVishnu: please don't laugh: http://pastie.org/2987968
[21:16] <ecfu> i'm back.  let me take a step back.  would you recommend doing this just for the sake of video or would it be smarter to just revert to xp
[21:17] <Rushing> there must be a way...i'm gonna blow a gasket here
[21:17] <ecfu> and/or is ubuntu the most appropriate distro for this purpose
[21:17] <MonkeyDust> ecfu  please add the name of the person you are addressing
[21:17] <JokesOnYou77> Rushing: does the server version let you press Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to a virtual terminal?
[21:17] <Rushing> i need to get out of the current process i'm in, then go back and fix /etc/rc.local
[21:17] <ecfu> @alaing
[21:17] <ubuntu1> Cuz I'm trying to salvage stuff on my fda6, so if it writes it's /tmp to sda6, I'm toast! MahaVishnu
[21:17] <sskalnik> Rushing:  as in, you ran the app from the terminal and now you can't do anything with that terminal?
[21:18] <ubuntu1> btw pastie is really good
[21:18] <action09> hi, anyone can recommend me a good tuto on installing Ubuntu alternate 11.10, why alternate because i need all disk cipphered, i choosed lvm + ciph, but at installation lilo or grub2 fail to install.. i specified all the partition i think and not ok..
[21:18] <Rushing> JokesOnYou77, yes :D woo! tyty lol
[21:18] <Exxon> Rushing, typing few command will really improve you typing skills then using a script that is really unwanted in rc.local
[21:18] <Natesky9> I have been trying to share Files from one computer to another, and I have not been able to view the Files on one Computer. I need help with setting a shared folder. I've tried twice already and searched all over the web, but I can't seem to get thi files
[21:18] <JokesOnYou77> Rushing: you're welcome :) They're called virtual terminals, and in combo with screen and byobu, they are your best friends :)
[21:19] <Rushing> so the way to do this is to just put "sh <app start>"?
[21:19] <alaing> ecfu: seems a bit over kill just for video
[21:19] <Rushing> in my rc.local
[21:19] <MonkeyDust> Natesky9  which OS'es?
[21:19] <ecfu> that's what i think too
[21:19] <Natesky9> Ubuntu 11.04, Both, except one is 64-Bit
[21:19] <JokesOnYou77> Rushing: That one, I don't know, Exxon?
[21:19] <neersighted> Can anyone help my with plymoth/x?
[21:19] <MonkeyDust> Natesky9  do you get any error messages?
[21:20] <ecfu> maybe there's a way to get thing to run better with the setup i have
[21:20] <alaing> ecfu:  have you tried using virtualbox and emulating a system? Althought with your spec i dont think this is good idea
[21:20] <MahaVishnu> Rushing, is it an app in /usr/bin ?
[21:20] <Guest90624> For some reason, ubuntu boots with a low-res text screen, not a plymoth boot screen
[21:20] <alaing> ecfu: have you tried asking ##windows
[21:20] <ecfu> that would be running a virtual system on top of win7 right
[21:20] <ecfu> no, i was thinking of heading there
[21:20] <Rushing> it's in /home/<user>/<apptarfolder>/bin
[21:20] <MahaVishnu> eww windows yucky
[21:20] <ecfu> :)
[21:20] <alaing> ecfu: correct.
[21:21] <alaing> MahaVishnu: i know :P
[21:21] <Natesky9> Yes, I do. If I try to access the shared folder, it tells me that I cannot mount it. I also have a problem when i try to send a file to the same computer using Empathy, It tell me that the other user cancelled the transfer(on both of the computers at the same time)
[21:21] <ecfu> that would just increase resource demands i think...i'll see what #win says
[21:21] <alaing> ecfu i would try get the video issue fixed
[21:21] <ecfu> word
[21:21] <ecfu> thanks for your help
[21:21] <neersighted> anyone?
[21:22] <MahaVishnu> neersighted, pastebin /etc/default/grub
[21:22] <alaing> ecfu yes it does increase resource demands.
