[00:00] <urlin2u> robot-army, I think there is no icon, you might look for one or try deluge it has a icon .
[00:00] <robot-army> qin: ah, daemon makes sense.  I'll give that a shot.  Do you happen to know offhand if the web interface will be enabled with just the daemon running?
[00:01] <qin> robot-army: No clue, using rtorrent :P
[00:01] <robot-army> qin: gotcha.  I'll start by changing the command to start the daemon and fiddle with it from there, thanks for the reply  =)
[00:01] <qin> robot-army: np
[00:03] <mnemonic76> Anyone help me with a cp script?
[00:04] <mnemonic76> I am stuck, and can't figure out what the heck I'm missing... the script finds and copies the files I want, but it does not re create the directory structure.
[00:05] <pythonsnake> !pibf
[00:08] <qin> mnemonic76: Try this: mkdir ~/test && find . -type d -exec cp -r {} ~/test \; (if find will include test in results there will be a trouble)
[00:09] <qin> mnemonic76: I think it is easier to use rsync anyway.
[00:10] <qin> mnemonic76: And I can bet for 10 bucks that -r was missing ;)
[00:13] <ubun> so then the developers for ubuntu/linux distros. work for free?
[00:13] <bazhang> ubun, did you have an ubuntu support question?
[00:13] <ubun> bazhang: sorry i did but someone sent me on a goose chase
[00:14] <bazhang> ubun, please keep support here , and chit chat to #ubuntu-offtopic , thanks
[00:16] <ubun> actually bazhang: i was trying to find out if you can change the layout of the ubuntu11 layout. (the help i found only shows you how to switch to classic gnome. i just want to change the position of things
[00:17] <bazhang> ubun, the unity dash? that is on the left bar and immovable as far as I know
[00:17] <ubun> bazhang: yeah. thats what i wanted to know...
[00:17] <qin> ubun: There is no Ubuntu 11, either 11.04 or 11.10, and Unity do not provide much options, atm.
[00:17] <ubun> qin: ubuntu 11.04
[00:18] <qin> Nice.
[00:18] <Matt_799> my ubuntu user icon is a flower, how can I change it, I see no option in user and groups
[00:18] <pythonsnake> Hello bazhang !
[00:19] <ubun> ok. so the question i asked  earlier about UNIX- was a typo i meant to ask about unity. ok so the gui for ubuntu11.04 is unity??
[00:19] <xangua> Matt_799: try in the user indicator
[00:19] <pythonsnake> ubun: y
[00:19] <pythonsnake> ubun: positive
[00:19] <Jordan_U> ubun: By default, when 3D accelleration is available, yes.
[00:19] <ubun> pythonsnake: ok.
[00:19] <ubun> jordan: i see
[00:20] <ubun> Jorda_U
[00:20] <mingdao_> How much trouble is it to switch to Fluxbox in Ubuntu? Or is it even possible?
[00:20] <Jordan_U> !tab | ubun
[00:20] <bazhang> mingdao_, install it, then choose from login window
[00:20] <mingdao_> bazhang: Thanks. I'm not the type that needs the features of a desktop environment.
[00:20] <ubun> Jordan_U: that is the best advice ive gotten(regarding the chat) thanks
[00:21] <Matt_799> xangua, i searched system setting for user indicator with no resutls, do i have to download it?
[00:21] <Kirior> HI, how can i check and repair my filesystem using fsck from commandline within livecd? every time i try i got this ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ fsck fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
[00:21] <Jordan_U> ubun: By the way, using a nickname of "ubun" makes it rather difficult to follow conversations with you using "/lastlog ubun" as that would give all lines from any message mentioning "ubuntu".
[00:21] <xangua> Matt_799: User Indicator, one of the indicators in the tho right corner
[00:21] <xangua> top*
[00:21] <Jordan_U> ubun: You're welcome.
[00:21] <ubun> Jordan_U: hmmm... never thought of that. ill think of something better
[00:22] <Matt_799> xangua, got it, thx
[00:22] <Kirior> Jordan_U: HI, how can i check and repair my filesystem using fsck from commandline within livecd? every time i try i got this ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ fsck fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2
[00:24] <Kirior> http://paste.ubuntu.com/696414/
[00:24] <mnemonic76> qin: thanks... i am testing now..
[00:24] <Chotaz> Has anyone ever used mp3check?
[00:25] <bazhang> Chotaz, have some questions about it?
[00:25] <Arath> I'm trying to install wireless usb driver.  But the instructions are very hard to understand, it tells me to first "set the "MODE = STA" in Makefile and choose the TARGET to Linux by set "TARGET = LINUX". Define the linux kernel source include file path LINUX_SRC.
[00:25] <qin> mnemonic76: It is one lever, it fails if deeper
[00:26] <tobe> Jordan_U: there i changed my name...
[00:26] <ahmad_daoud> Kirior: specify file system to be checked ;)
[00:26] <Jordan_U> Kirior: To see the manual for a given command use "man some_command", like "man fsck". In this case you need to run "sudo fsck /dev/sdXY" replacing "X" with a letter and "Y" with a partition number. "sudo blkid" will list all partitions, you want the one with a filesystem type of "ext4".
[00:27] <Kirior> ahmad_daoud: i would like to check my linux partition (ext2) when i tried using fsck while running ubuntu it spit warning that it will cause damage so i went to live cd and tried here but this http://paste.ubuntu.com/696414/ is all i get
[00:28] <ahmad_daoud> Jordan_U: Perfect reply :thumbs up:
[00:28] <Kirior> Jordan_U: cheers man, as always helpfull :)
[00:28] <Chotaz> bazhang: in deed.
[00:28] <ahmad_daoud> so , your original / may be mounted ... check it
[00:29] <Chotaz> bazhang: I recently had to use PhotoREc to try and recover some music files from a recently formatted HDD, i ended up getting 20k+ files restored and I want to spot and delete all the corrupted ones, i heard mp3check can do it, i just dunno how.
[00:30] <ahmad_daoud> then fsck (as Jordan said) , specify /dev/XXX
[00:31] <Kirior> Jordan_U: what is a vfat partition? and just to confirm this means that there are no problems what so ever? http://paste.ubuntu.com/696419/
[00:32] <bazhang> http://pwet.fr/man/linux/commandes/mp3check   Chotaz here you are
[00:33] <Chotaz> bazhang: ty
[00:35] <Kirior> ahmad_daoud: and if i would like to check an ntfs drive? and fix or attempt to fix errors? is windows chkdsk better for that?
[00:36] <mnemonic76> qin: How would I use rsync to do this? I am not really wanting to copy... I want to move all the .wav files out of the FLAC dir and recreate all the subdirs in the WAV dir... make sense?
[00:36] <autojack> I just started a text-mode install of Ubuntu 11, but I realized that I want to change some of the packages I selected. can I cancel the install and back up, or do I have to wait 1+ hrs for this to finish?
[00:36] <urlin2u> Kirior, you want to use windows or a windows disc to run chkdsk on a ntfs yes.
[00:36] <ahmad_daoud> Kirior: yes , use chkdsk for windows ntfs .. it's perfect  ... chkdsk /f E:
[00:37] <_Python> Hi, Could any one please let me know a good video editor for ubuntu??
[00:37] <Kirior> ahmad_daoud: /f not /r?
[00:37] <tobe> so is there a program to make a "restore point" before i do anything. this is a fresh install and i would rather not screw it up "again"
[00:37] <ahmad_daoud> Kirior:  /f : fix , i think
[00:38] <qin> mnemonic76: That is more correct: find . -type d ! -name . -exec mkdir ~/test/{} \;  or this very nice way: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/copy-directory-structure-only-208796/#post1066075
[00:38] <urlin2u> Kirior, I would run r it implies f
[00:38] <ahmad_daoud> i didn't use windows for 3 years
[00:38] <ahmad_daoud> :)
[00:38] <Stanley00> !backup | tobe
[00:38] <qxt> ahhh this Unity really is weird on my 24" 1920x1200 screen. fvwm or Awesome would be a hell of a lot better.
[00:38] <Kirior> urlin2u: thanks, :)
[00:39] <tobe> Stanley00:  thank you
[00:39] <Chotaz> bazhang: i don't see a parameter that allows me to automatically remove the faulty files?
[00:39] <coz_> qxt,  have you tried gnome3 instead?
[00:39] <Arath> I'm trying to install wireless usb driver.  But the instructions are very hard to understand, it tells me to first "set the "MODE = STA" in Makefile and choose the TARGET to Linux by set "TARGET = LINUX". Define the linux kernel source include file path LINUX_SRC.
[00:39] <coz_> qxt,  rather classic interface
[00:39] <autojack> anyone? canceling an install?
[00:40] <urlin2u> autojack, if you cancel you will have to start over.
[00:40] <ahmad_daoud> Kirior: and this is ubuntu  ;)
[00:40] <qxt> coz_ yeah and its almost as gay. I have Eclipse on one side of my screen. emacs on the other and about 5 shells open
[00:40] <autojack> urlin2u: that's OK, it hasn't gotten very far.
[00:40] <tobe> is there a difference as far as memory usage between unity and gnome?
[00:40] <autojack> urlin2u: I just wanted to get back to the package selection step I guess
[00:40] <urlin2u> autojack, if this us a install, not a upgrade.
[00:40] <urlin2u> is*
[00:40] <autojack> yeah it is
[00:40] <autojack> a new install
[00:40] <qxt> coz_, gnome3 just does not feel like gnome
[00:41] <urlin2u> autojack, you can shut it down a,d start over no biggie
[00:41] <diode> xfce
[00:41] <coz_> qxt,  ah I see ,, gnome3 isnt that bad but I understand the difficulty in the changes
[00:41] <autojack> ah
[00:41] <qxt> xfce is ok
[00:41] <autojack> I was hoping for a cancel option
[00:41] <Kirior> ahmad_daoud: oh yes i know sorry but today i dug up my old broken down 1TB drive and managed to restore its capacity (before  both wind and Ubuntu sow only about 15GB) and now just want to check if all the disk integrity is fine and here are loads of ppl that are dual-booted :P
[00:41] <qxt> coz_, been using GNU/Linux since 92
[00:41] <Kirior> and know more than me :)
[00:41] <qin> mnemonic76: Apparently rsync have -d option. mna rsync
[00:42] <urlin2u> autojack, you can do a soft reboot or shutdown crtl-alt-prtsc REISUB is rebot REISUO is shutdown type slowly.
[00:42] <urlin2u> reboot*
[00:42] <mnemonic76> qin: I really want the files AND the directory structure... i
[00:43] <autojack> I just went with ctrl-alt-delete :)
[00:43] <autojack> thanks!
[00:43] <qxt> coz_, all I want to do is use pydev in Eclipse and emacs for C . All the blinky gay "facebook" stuff is lame
[00:43] <tomvolek> hi:  I have few servers behind a home wireless router,  How can I set these as static IP behind my dhcp router ?
[00:43] <coz_> qxt,  so you want to stop compiz,,, maybe unit2d would be better for you/
[00:44] <g0rs> tomvolek: it is configure your router . did you want a static ip in the router or with your WAN.if you want your computer to be visible on the internet, you have to set up a DMZ host
[00:44] <qin> mnemonic76: What would be wrong with "cp -r", but rsync gives you more option (and ssh support).
[00:44] <qxt> tomvolek, easy you can use http://dyn.com
[00:44] <Kirior> thx guys again time to go for me bb, Jordan_U ahmad_daoud urlin2u
[00:45] <g0rs> tomvolek: and then use a dynamic dns service
[00:45] <urlin2u> qxt, please don't use gay a a perjorative.
[00:45] <urlin2u> as*
[00:45] <Ubulindy> ok, I nstalled Ubuntu 10.10 off NetBoot and all I am getting is terminal like with no desktop environment even tho gnome is installed
[00:45] <ahmad_daoud> Kirior: bad sectors ? or broken me
[00:45] <mingdao_> urlin2u: don't think you need Ctrl ... just Alt+PrtSc+{R,S,E,I,S,O,B} ... or whatever options
[00:45] <tomvolek> g0rs,  no I need to setup mysql replciation inside my home network .. I am using OCMcast dhcp right now on my wireless router, etc.
[00:46] <g0rs> tomvolek: why do you need a static ip address?
[00:46] <urlin2u> mingdao_, thats' the rumor ethier works.
[00:46] <qxt> coz_, I don't use compiz at all. A long time ago I helped dev on Beryl.
[00:46] <tomvolek> settgin up mysql replication between two hosts behind my wirless router
[00:46] <Guest41512> How do I find my computer address?
[00:47] <g0rs> tomvolek: are these hosts in your lan connected to your router ?
[00:47] <ex0> ifconfig
[00:47] <coz_> qxt,  oh!! by what you were saying about the "Facebook" effects i assumed compiz was running which it should be by default with Unity
[00:47] <tomvolek> yes sir
[00:47] <qxt> coz_, for me it is all work station programming. We are 10 developers and just need to get work done.
[00:47] <coz_> qxt,  i completely understand :)
[00:48] <tomvolek> One of the serves which will be the salve for mysql will be visible outside later on, via a pokeing a hole in the router firewall
[00:48] <coz_> qxt,  and I assume that if you are running Unity you already know compiz is running ...yes?
[00:48] <tomvolek> g0rs, does that make sense ?
[00:48] <g0rs> tomvolek: youd have to use a dmz host and open a computer to be visible outside. use a dynamic dns service
[00:49] <tomvolek> ok
[00:49] <g0rs> tomvolek: i did that sometime ago when i wanted to connect to my computer from an external host using vnc
[00:49] <urlin2u> mingdao_, I think the soft reboot is sometimes different per keyboards, the wikipedis says the key combo you suggest, but reisub.
[00:49] <mingdao_> Guest41512: "wget -q -O - http://whatismyip.org"
[00:49] <tomvolek> exactly that is what I am doing...
[00:49] <mingdao_> Guest41512: in a terminal
[00:50] <g0rs> tomvolek: there are lot of tutorials on the web to do th same. setting up DMZ host and use a dynamic dns service
[00:50] <tomvolek> g0rs, so first thing i need to setup my two hosts(mysql master, slave) as static IP .. then move to the other iisues
[00:51] <mingdao_> urlin2u: I'm an old timer remembering RSEIUB ... raising skinny elephants is utterly boring ... but the kernel source (where is it in Ubuntu) has a file sysrq.txt which explains it well
[00:51] <tomvolek> i have been gooling, and a lot of pointes, but figured ask here form gurues in a live irc
[00:51] <qxt> coz_, no since I use noscript, betterprivacy, ABP, Ghostery , HTTPS-Everywhere, Calomel SSL Val, changed headers, etc.
[00:51] <urlin2u> mingdao_, cool thanks. :D
[00:51] <g0rs> tomvolek: i dont know how mysql works. but if you want to conneect to a computer which doesnt have static ip and is behind a router, you configure the internal ip of that computer inside the router as a DMZ host and use dynamic dns service
[00:51] <mingdao_> urlin2u: reisub ... different for different situations rather than kbds
[00:52] <mingdao_> urlin2u: where *is* the kernel source? I feel naked!
[00:52] <edbian> how can I set my audio to mono using alsamixer
[00:52] <tomvolek> ok, will read on that subject  g0rs.. thanks
[00:52] <g0rs> tomvolek: you might want to google that , it is simple and not too complex
[00:52] <qxt> and its not called Firefox it is Iceweasle.  A lot of ppl helped dev Mozilla and then it gets branded. Not nice for the FOSS ppl out there.
[00:54] <mingdao_> urlin2u: that's right ... good ... thanks, I'd forgotten that acronym
[00:55] <bazhang> qxt, thats neither appropriate not called for, please desist at once
[00:55] <qxt> bazhang kick me and cry lol
[00:55] <g0rs> tomvolek: lets say if your computer has an ip address like <IP_ADDRESS> then you setup a dmz on that ip address.
[00:56] <tomvolek> ok
[00:56] <g0rs> tomvolek: that is within your lan
[00:56] <g0rs> tomvolek: you want to map your computer in internal lan to WAN which might have an ip like <IP_ADDRESS>3
[00:57] <g0rs> tomvolek: you want to map your computer in internal lan to WAN which might have an ip like <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:58] <tomvolek> i am looking on my wireelss router firewall setting, and DMZ is not set,  so I think I can take it from here , thanks
[00:58] <iLogic> I'm starting to become a little anxious for the release of ubuntu 11.10
[00:58] <qxt> tomvolek, try this VPN=$(/sbin/ifconfig tun0 | awk '/inet addr/ {print substr($2, 6)}')
[00:58] <iLogic> what should I do? smoke grass or something?
[00:59] <xaviergmail> Hey in linux mint there was a way to check if the installation CD was valid, how do I do it on this? (11.04)
[00:59] <qxt> tomaw, ahh wait that is my tunnel just change it to your eth0 or wlan0 whatever
[01:00] <qxt> bazhang, stop pm'n me you lurker!
[01:00] <spleen> hi
[01:01] <spleen> need help concerning SED. Somebody can help me please
[01:02] <complexity> anyone know a good way to have ubuntu save desktops
[01:02] <complexity> like firefox always open on desktop 2
[01:02] <mingdao_> xaviergmail: did you get an answer?
[01:03] <mingdao_> xaviergmail: did you burn a CD from an ISO image you downloaded?
[01:03] <Alpine> Typical win7 bullshit
[01:03] <xaviergmail> yes I did
[01:03] <Alpine> No sound driver functionality.
[01:03] <mingdao_> spleen: you need to ask a question, but I think this channel is for Ubuntu help ... see if there is a #sed channel
[01:04] <xaviergmail> I mean I burned from an ISO , didn't get answered though
[01:04] <Alpine> When will Bill Gates stop being such a turd.
[01:04] <qxt_> sorry spleen did not hear ya
[01:04] <mingdao_> xaviergmail: there is an md5sum for that ISO image ... you need to compare it to your ISO
[01:04] <qxt_> that homo bazgay face baned me
[01:04] <Bizzeh> Alpine: how is that typical behaviour? and how is it anything to do with a guy who hasnt worked at microsoft for 5 years now?
[01:04] <qin> lol
[01:04] <Alpine> LOL
[01:04] <Bizzeh> and hasnt written a line of code for over 20 years
[01:04] <mingdao_> xaviergmail: md5sum image.iso (replace image with the name of the ISO image) will give you the md5sum of the ISO image
[01:04] <Alpine> You mean bill steal gui gates?
[01:05] <Alpine> Mr.  I don't invent things I pay 50,000 for a copy of the disk operation system.. then steal the gui interface from of all people xerox?
[01:05] <mingdao_> xaviergmail: then if your ISO image was good, put your CD in the CD-ROM drive and in a terminal cd to the directory with the ISO image
[01:05] <iLogic> Alpine: have a little more respect, he is my uncle
[01:05] <mingdao_> xaviergmail: in that directory with the CD in the drive issue "cmp /dev/sr0 image.iso"
[01:05] <mingdao_> xaviergmail: if your CD-ROM drive is ISO
[01:06] <Bizzeh> Alpine: bill gates never claimed to be a good programmer, he claims to be a good business man, which he is, as a business man, he is impecable
[01:06] <mingdao_> xaviergmail: start by getting the md5sum of the ISO from wherever you downloaded it
[01:06] <Alpine> Oh I can't take that away from him.
[01:06] <xaviergmail> I checked the md5 on my laptop, it's ok
[01:06] <mingdao_> this isn't #billgates fellas
[01:06] <Alpine> Anyone that can get away with that murder has gotta be a good buisness man.
[01:06] <xaviergmail> if I have 3 gb RAM how much swap should I give it?
[01:07] <Jordan_U> !ot | Alpine Bizzeh iLogic
[01:07] <Alpine> I appriciate Mr. Linus for helping create the linux kernel :)
[01:07] <akem> 3 prolly
[01:07] <urlin2u> xaviergmail, 3 gigs
[01:08] <ahmad_daoud> xaviergmail:  SWAP = 2X RAM  ;)
[01:08] <qin> xaviergmail: If you suspend, balance ram, 3bg +/-
[01:08] <shawn_> hey can someone help me
[01:08] <iLogic> Jordan_U: come one, the guy was dissing my uncle.. how could I not respond?
[01:08] <urlin2u> ahmad_daoud, not any more.
[01:08] <shawn_> Im pretty new to xubuntu
[01:08] <Alpine> You can just create the swap automatically.
[01:08] <shawn_> u talkin to me?
[01:08] <ahmad_daoud> urlin2u: sorry ? O_o
[01:08] <Alpine> Linux kernel should auto create the proper swap size.
[01:09] <qin> Alpine: hm?
[01:09] <Alpine> There is not a need to manual that on a dual boot system.
[01:09] <Alpine> If this is what your attempting.
[01:09] <Jordan_U> iLogic: That wasn't your first offtopic comment. Please don't make any more.
[01:09] <shawn_> alpine who are u talkin to
[01:09] <urlin2u> Alpine, in yout=r opinion
[01:09] <mingdao_> xaviergmail: sorry, had to help my daughter
[01:09] <mingdao_> xaviergmail: the md5sum of your ISO image is good?
[01:09] <iLogic> Jordan_U: dude, dont be such a hitler.. live a little
[01:10] <Alpine> No no it's stolin ilogic
[01:10] <Alpine> :D
[01:10] <xaviergmail> mingdao_: yes
[01:10] <Alpine> unt dia admin?
[01:10] <qin> Alpine: s/a/o
[01:11] <Jordan_U> iLogic: Comparisons to nazis are not acceptable here. Please join #ubuntu-ops if you wish to discuss your ban.
[01:11] <mingdao_> xaviergmail: issue "ls -l /dev/cdrom" in a terminal and see what it is a link to
[01:11] <mingdao_> xaviergmail: something like /dev/cdrom -> sr0
[01:11] <Alpine> Back to topic now.
[01:12] <Alpine> Are you trying to set up swap for dual boot?
[01:12] <Alpine> ?
[01:12] <qin> !who | Alpine
[01:12] <xaviergmail> mingdao_: yep
[01:12] <mingdao_> xaviergmail: now issue "cmp /dev/sr0 image.iso"
[01:12] <mingdao_> xaviergmail: it will take a few minutes, maybe, but should return to a prompt with no output
[01:13] <mingdao_> xaviergmail: if so your CD is the same as your ISO image
[01:13] <mingdao_> xaviergmail: there are other ways to do it, but IMO this is the easiest/quickest and is reliable
[01:13] <Guest38369> hi
[01:14] <xaviergmail> oh, I'm on the  live DVD atm
[01:14] <xaviergmail> the ISO is on the other computer
[01:14] <xaviergmail> I thought there would be one built in like there was in mint
[01:14] <Guest38369> what
[01:15] <Jordan_U> xaviergmail: There is an option in the boot menu for Ubuntu liveCDs for checking the disk integrity.
[01:15] <GameBoy> Hi.. I am a superuser.. is there a way to see the passwords stored in the /etc/shadow?
[01:16] <GameBoy> i need them decrypted...
[01:16] <GameBoy> Anyone??
[01:16] <qin> Guest38369: It looks strange, any trouble?
[01:16] <maujhsn> How can I fix this: E:linux-image-2.6.32-33-generic:subprocess install
[01:16] <maujhsn> post installation script returned error exit status 1
[01:16] <Jordan_U> GameBoy: No.  I installed.. Xbuntu last night.. and im duel booting Windows 7 /xbuntu... so i didnt create a partition.. but i wanna add more gigs to this OS.. i installed gparted.. and its saying ive already have 5 partitions
[01:16] <qin> Guest38369: Find what?
[01:16] <Awesomeo2000> say what?
[01:17] <Guest38369> find the passwd

[01:17] <qxt> bazhang, would you stop banning me ... I am staring to run out of server. Down to 1892 now!
[01:17] <Stanley00> shawn_: you need an extended partition...
[01:17] <shawn_> cant make one
[01:17] <shawn_> wont let me
[01:18] <qin> Guest38369: What password? Do you use live cd?
[01:18] <Guest38369> how to set  a vitual IP adress
[01:19] <qxt> qin a troll always comes back. I learned a lot from Weev and gang. Miss ED.
[01:19] <GameBoy> Jordan_U.. so there is no way in finding out the passwords?
[01:19] <Stanley00> shawn_: hard disk only has most 4 primary partition, if you want more, you have to make 3 pri part, and one extended part, and then create logical part in that ext part
[01:19] <Awesomeo2000> the passwords are encrypted.
[01:19] <qxt> GameBoy, you need a pw? From what?

[01:19] <Jordan_U> GameBoy: Correct.
[01:19] <GameBoy> Okie..
[01:19] <qin> !details | Guest38369
[01:20] <Jordan_U> Awesomeo2000: They are not encrypted, they are hashed. It is an important distinction.
[01:21] <Awesomeo2000> it's stored in /etc/shadow
[01:21] <xtq> No really you soooooooo suuuuck balls as an admin
[01:21] <xtq> Game get DVWA and Metasploit Framwork with BackTrack and you will be rolling. I like XSS with RFI and some of the newer LFI. Might be able to dork an sql injection an
[01:21] <xtq> get root
[01:21] <sweetandy> When I connect my encrypted 1TB external usb drive, a dialog box automatically pops up; what program is that? cryptsetup? ccrypt? something else?
[01:21] <xtq> darn you stop banning me
[01:22] <Awesomeo2000> I thought they're encrypted.
[01:22] <qin> xtq: shellmix have admins too.
[01:22] <xtq> CUDA is your frind for brute force.
[01:22] <mingdao_> kline is for lusers
[01:22] <RodneyJarvis> Hello, I've acquired an ipod touch recently, I'm hating it thus far in windows with the restrictions itunes imposes, what are the Linux alternatives like if any are worth doing?
[01:22] <xtq> qin you think we care
[01:23] <Awesomeo2000> gtkpod
[01:23] <Awesomeo2000> RodneyJarvis: gtkpod
[01:23] <GameBoy> Jordan.. one doubt.. why it is hashed and stored? Coz hashed stuffs has no key to retrieve.. is it for some kinda integrity check.. if so ... any idea?
[01:23] <austin_> what's a good IDLE for C++?
[01:24] <GameBoy> hey Rodney.. even i had the same issues... did you try wine?
[01:24] <maujhsn> Ubbottu I have a problem installing recommended updates from update manager: Ubuntu 10.04 returns with error codes. E:linux-image-2.6.32-33-generic:subprocess install
[01:24] <maujhsn> post installation script returned error exit status 1.
[01:24] <GameBoy> heard a specific version of itunes works on wine without any hassles..
[01:24] <RodneyJarvis> Awesomeo2000: Thanks, are you using that yourself?
[01:24] <Awesomeo2000> RodneyJarvis: yeah.
[01:25] <austin_> itunes is fail.
[01:25] <GameBoy> Totally agree austin
[01:25] <GameBoy> itunes sucks big time...
[01:26] <GameBoy> I have an iPad.. and regretting... any one tried running ubuntu on an iPad.. just curious?
[01:26] <RodneyJarvis> GameBoy: I'm not an iphad user until recently due to this ipod touch... I now can agree with your statement.
[01:26] <maujhsn> ubottu I have a problem installing recommended updates from update manager: Ubuntu 10.04 returns with error codes. E:linux-image-2.6.32-33-generic:subprocess install

[01:26] <RodneyJarvis> GameBoy: I almost bought one, I got a netbook instead lol.
[01:26] <GameBoy> Rodney.. haha... LOL
[01:27] <RodneyJarvis> GameBoy: Thus far I'm very happy with the netbook, over what I have seen with the ipad2.
[01:27] <austin_> I've used an ipad- but I don't know about ubuntu/ipad functionality.
[01:27] <maujhsn> ubottu answer my question!
[01:27] <GameBoy> Rodney.. i just watch movies and read books... should have bought something cheaper!!
[01:27] <austin_> I think Amarok has ipad/ipod usage though... could be wrong
[01:27] <RodneyJarvis> GameBoy: Kindle...?
[01:28] <RodneyJarvis> GameBoy: Oooh Cheaper....
[01:28] <GameBoy> not kindle.. heard we could run android on nook
[01:28] <RodneyJarvis> GameBoy: Uhmmm netbook would have worked... Netbooks also have Ubuntu functionality built in ^_^
[01:28] <qxt> was that you qin not nice.... sniff
[01:28] <austin_> =O Bourne Identity is on encore
[01:28] <austin_> say whoot?
[01:29] <Awesomeo2000> WHOOT!!
[01:29] <mingdao_> GameBoy: you can run Android on Nook ... quite nice
[01:29] <mingdao_> sorry ot
[01:30] <GameBoy> mingdao.. yep.. we could.. it just have issues with the camera during video conf
[01:30] <austin_> Is there a way to not view the join/quit info in the irc read out... new to IRC.
[01:30] <mingdao_> austin_: yes
[01:31] <austin_> do tell
[01:31] <BWMerlin> I the news about UEFI and Windows 8 logo programme really that bad and will lock out the installation of linux on Windows 8 logo computers or is it just a bit over hyped?
[01:31] <qin> austin_: What client? xchat?
[01:31] <mingdao_> austin_: /help ignore
[01:31] <mingdao_> austin_: mingdao assumes everyone uses irssi ... but that should work for you
[01:31] <austin_> i'm using irssi
[01:32] <Boom_Farmer> GameBoy: The nook has no camera, and already runs Android. You can install different versions of Android, certainly, and Ubuntu, somewhat.
[01:32] <mingdao_> austin_: if you can't understand the help ask again ... if it's OT and channel is busy PM me or ask in #irssi or #freenode
[01:32] <qin> austin_: On irssi website you will find tips and proper command to quite channel a bit, also /j #irssi
[01:33] <austin_> thanks guys.
[01:33] <qin> *quiet
[01:33] <GameBoy> Boom_Farmer: How do I install ubuntu on a nook? Do you have any links?? googling is eventually leading to some bogus sites
[01:33] <mingdao_> austin_: yw
[01:33] <moes> qin, What about in xchat
[01:34] <qin> moes: Same, /help ignore
[01:34] <moes> qin, thanks

[01:34] <jwrigley> baah, no fun.
[01:36] <austin_> Ok, back. I think I fixed my problem...
[01:36] <hikenboot> /proc/version has information on installed versions but what place shows what the system was built off of for compatable compiling

[01:38] <ahmad_daoud> i have a corrupted iso (not cd) , i tried acetone, isomaster, testdisk, poweriso , fuseiso , but failed to recover anything .... actually they were 2 dvds but one was (udf) , and photorec helped me too much.. any program suggested ??
[01:40] <Boom_Farmer> ahmad_daoud: Find the original source of the iso, reacquire via rip or redownload.
[01:40] <ahmad_daoud> actually they were home-made , photo dvds
[01:41] <ahmad_daoud> Boom_Farmer, just want to recover whatever possible , if available :(
[01:41] <Boom_Farmer> Yo the corrupted isos are the originals?
[01:42] <ahmad_daoud> Boom_Farmer, sorry ??
[01:42] <Boom_Farmer> Are the corrupted isos the only version of those files that you have?
[01:43] <Boom_Farmer> For example, do the files on those isos exist elsewhere?
[01:43] <urlin2u> ahmad_daoud, you can mount them and extract them.
[01:44] <ahmad_daoud> Boom_Farmer,  yes , only the isos .. the dvds : one is very scratched , the other is lost
[01:44] <ahmad_daoud> urlin2u, by file utility , both are (data) ... not defined
[01:44] <urlin2u> ahmad_daoud, ah not sure then.
[01:44] <Jordan_U> ahmad_daoud: ddrescue may be able to recover more data from the scratched DVD.
[01:45] <Boom_Farmer> ahmad_daoud: have you tried physical recovery methods for the scratched DVD? a DVD polish?
[01:46] <ahmad_daoud> Jordan_U,  well , i have collected much data with that dvd , the problem is the (lost) one !
[01:46] <deridens> could anyone recommend an IDE to use for programming in C++?
[01:46] <shawn_> has anyone had any problems with realtek alc888 sound card on xubuntu?
[01:46] <Awesomeo2000> deridens: emacs
[01:46] <shawn_> the sound doesnt come from my speakers comes from the sub
[01:46] <nilzie> would it be a bad idea to have 0 primary partitions and just logical partitions ?
[01:46] <Awesomeo2000> :-d
[01:46] <Awesomeo2000> :-D
[01:47] <tobe> how do you enable the additional drivers found. I have a nvidia video card. i says the drivers are not in use. do i need to do anything or is it fine like this?
[01:47] <Jordan_U> nilzie: No, though if you're never going to have Windows installed on the drive you might want to consider GPT.
[01:47] <isabel> hola
[01:47] <escott> nilzie, some OSes and bioses dont like to boot from logical partitions (and you still have a primary it just only contains logicals)
[01:47] <ahmad_daoud> to specify : by file utility it is (data) , when mounting with  : -o loop -t auto (unable to determine FS) in dmesg | tail , any thing else ?
[01:48] <Awesomeo2000> isabel: welcome.
[01:48] <nilzie> Jordan_U: GPT?
[01:48] <Stanley00> tobe: you have to active it
[01:48] <escott> nilzie, the newer paritition format for disks >2TB allows for unlimited partitions
[01:48] <mingdao_> tobe: it is probably using nouveau, the open source driver
[01:48] <shawn_> Has anyone had an any probs with Realtek ALC888 sound driver?... the sound doesnt come from speakers comes from sub
[01:49] <mingdao_> tobe: lsmod will tell you
[01:49] <tobe> mingdao_:  let me check
[01:49] <Jordan_U> nilzie: GUID Partition Table. It is a newer partition table format that is more flexible than the old msdos partition table format which can handle drives larger than 2 TiB and an unlimited number of partitions (without the complexity of primary vs logical partitions).
[01:49] <nilzie> escott: i have a 80 gig harddrive, and i want to make a /home thats about 15-16 gigs (not sure) then have one for / and another for swap. not sure how big the swap should be and what should be primary and what should be logical. it's a laptop with 2gb ram
[01:50] <mingdao_> tobe: if nouveau works for you there is no need to install nVidia proprietary driver, but it's your choice
[01:50] <nilzie> Jordan_U: i see. but im not sure if the installer has that
[01:50] <escott> nilzie, ubuntu shouldn't care about primary vs logical. windows does
[01:50] <fdsa> i have a ?
[01:51] <fdsa> my user name is clone
[01:51] <fdsa> so when i try to connect to a network
[01:51] <fdsa> with irssi
[01:51] <aeon-ltd> fdsa: one line please
[01:51] <Jordan_U> nilzie: Ubuntu's installer uses GPT on any drive larger than 2 TiB. I don't know if you can specify it manually for drives smaller than that or not.
[01:51] <fdsa> alright
[01:51] <escott> !enter | fdsa
[01:51] <tobe> mingdao_:  does nouveau use the video card to its best potential. (for high graphics games)
[01:51] <whiteh> anyone know if it's possible to save gedit's currently open files via the terminal? my gui (in debian), sadly, froze up
[01:52] <nilzie> how big should my swap be if i have a 2gb laptop? some told me 2x the ram, but others told me that rule is useless for big amounts of ram. but others told me i need a large swap for sleep and hibernate...
[01:52] <escott> whiteh, look for a backup file should look like filename~ or #filename# in the same directory
[01:52] <fdsa> my user name is clone, and when i try to connect to a certain network with irssi it wont let me because 'clone is erroneus' and i cant change my nick before i connect
[01:52] <mingdao_> tobe: I have never played a game on the computer, but I hear it won't be as good as nvidia for some games.
[01:53] <mingdao_> fdsa: maybe it says clone is registered?
[01:53] <fdsa> nah it wont because clone is a common irc term
[01:53] <mingdao_> fdsa: registered != erroneus
[01:53] <escott> nilzie, to hibernate the ram must be written out to swap. so if you are using 1GB of swap and 2GB of ram you need 3GB of swap to hibernate. you can see how much swap you are using with "free -h"
[01:53] <shawn_> has anyone had problems with realtek alc888 that can help me when i try to play something (music) it comes from the base not the main speakers
[01:54] <mingdao_> fdsa: issue this: /nick clone
[01:54] <fdsa> fdsa
[01:54] <fdsa> is there a way i can just change my user name?
[01:54] <nilzie> escott: i havent installed ubuntu yet so i dont know. how much would u make the swap?
[01:54] <Awesomeo2000> escott: free -t
[01:54] <fdsa> its the one that shows in the top right of the screen
[01:54] <Awesomeo2000> nilzie: usually the rule is double the ram.
[01:54] <mingdao_> fdsa: /nick <username> changes your username
[01:55] <fdsa> it wont let me when im not connected to the server
[01:55] <Awesomeo2000> nilzie: so 2gb ram, you would set 4gb swap.
[01:55] <escott> Awesomeo2000, thanks i get that confused with du
[01:55] <mingdao_> fdsa: if you can't change fdsa to clone ask in #freenode
[01:55] <qin> fdsa: check ~/.irssi/config and try /join #irssi
[01:56] <whiteh> anyone know if it's possible to save gedit's currently open files via the terminal? my gui (in debian), sadly, froze up. Either that, or is it possible to restart the gui? I tried 'metacity --replace' & 'gdm restart' but neither worked
[01:56] <mingdao_> fdsa: clone [~clone@unaffiliated/clone]
[01:56] <nilzie> Awesomeo2000: thanks
[01:56] <escott> nilzie, it really depends on the applications you run. and how many you plan to run at one time. so its not easily answered. your system is not considered to have "lots of ram" so I would go with 2x
[01:56] <mingdao_> fdsa: as I told you, someone else has registered the nick clone ... pick another one
[01:56] <shawn_> can someone help me with realtek alc888 sound card ???
[01:56] <nilzie> escott: and which partition would you make active?
[01:56] <mingdao_> qin: clone is registered
[01:57] <fdsa> no im trying to connect to a different network not this one
[01:57] <escott> nilzie, afaik ubuntu doesnt care about it being marked active, but it would be /boot (and if you dont have a /boot then /)
[01:57] <fdsa> and it disconnects me before i can change my nick
[01:57] <mingdao_> fdsa: then go ask on that network :-)
[01:57] <nilzie> escott: thanks again. would you recommend to have a /boot?
[01:57] <Stanley00> whiteh: if it frozen, try waiting, if then you have to look at the autosave file, if luck ;)
[01:57] <Zgomot> i need a root scan :)
[01:58] <Zgomot> please help me
[01:58] <qin> fdsa: Once more, you can set handle (or nick) in irssi config file
[01:58] <escott> nilzie, for a single OS system i dont see a benefit
[01:58] <celltech> VBox. How do I force drivers to stay connected?
[01:58] <fdsa> whats that /dir again?
[01:58] <Stanley00> Zgomot: what is "a root scan"?
[01:58] <qin> fdsa: ~/.irssi/config
[01:58] <Zgomot> root linux
[01:58] <Zgomot> for scanning
[01:59] <Stanley00> Zgomot: you mean scan root fs?
[01:59] <Zgomot> for creating eggdrop bnc :)
[01:59] <nilzie> escott: thanks a lot. do you happen to know if theres an ubuntu version with gnome 3? like theres kubuntu for kde.
[01:59] <fdsa> i have no idea where that is, im new to linux and i dont really understand the file system
[01:59] <escott> !gnome3 | nilzie
[01:59] <_harry_> I'm having issues with sound. The sound worked before I did an update, but now nothing. I also installed flash for firefox. And I checked, it's not muted.
[01:59] <escott> nilzie, or wait for oneiric
[01:59] <qin> fdsa: less ~/.irssi/config
[01:59] <nilzie> escott: but that has unity. i want "gnome 3 - shell"
[02:00] <Zgomot> i need a shell
[02:00] <Zgomot> please help me
[02:00] <Awesomeo2000> nilzie: you can always install gnome 3 later
[02:00] <escott> !sudo | Zgomot
[02:00] <fdsa> is that the terminal command to run that dir?
[02:00] <qin> fdsa: ~ means /home/clone, less is pager, let you read files.
[02:00] <escott> fdsa, no thats the file you need to edit
[02:00] <Zgomot> !sudo
[02:01] <Zgomot> !sudo root
[02:01] <Awesomeo2000> zgomot: you meant "su"?
[02:01] <qin> fdsa: cd (change directory), man cd
[02:01] <Zgomot> what?
[02:01] <Zgomot> !sudo
[02:01] <Zgomot> !sudo Zgomot
[02:02] <qin> Zgomot: Please, make sense, it is early and most of people here have kaffeine poisoning.
[02:02] <_harry_> haha
[02:02] <escott> Zgomot, if you need to ask the bot questions please /query ubottu first
[02:02] <Boom_Farmer> qin: Please, make sense, it is late and most of people here have sleepdep issues.
[02:03] <_harry_> Any suggestions for my issue?
[02:03] <_harry_> Not sure if anyone saw that I posted.
[02:03] <Boom_Farmer> Where did you check that sound was not muted?
[02:04] <_harry_> Pref > Sound
[02:04] <Boom_Farmer> Which program, which desktop environment?
[02:04] <escott> _harry_, have you rebooted since the upgrade that broke things/can you check the apt log to see what was upgraded
[02:05] <fdsa> how do i open this config file i cant figure out how to open it with a text editor
[02:05] <_harry_> Boom_Farmer, not exactly sure what you mean, but no programs have sound and I'm using Natty 11.04
[02:05] <_harry_> escott, yes I have rebooted and how do I check the log?
[02:05] <escott> fdsa, gedit ~/.irssi/config or vim ~/.irssi/config or $EDITOR ~/...
[02:06] <qin> fdsa: cd ~/.irssi && cp config config_old && gedit config
[02:06] <escott> _harry_, tail -n 100 /var/log/apt/history.log
[02:07] <Boom_Farmer> _harry_: Okay, so it's an OS-level issue. Open a terminal and run 'alsamixer', and tell me what you see.
[02:08] <_harry_> Boom_Farmer, I see AlsaMixer v<IP_ADDRESS>
[02:08] <Boom_Farmer> There should be a number of vertical colored bars. Do any of them have 'MM' at the bottom?
[02:08] <_harry_> all of them do
[02:09] <mingdao_> :-
[02:09] <Boom_Farmer> Well, that's your issue. Everything's muted.
[02:09] <MeGustavo> hola
[02:09] <_harry_> oh.
[02:09] <Boom_Farmer> Use left and right arrow keys to select a channel, and up and down arrows to set the volume.
[02:09] <_harry_> Boy do I feel dumb.
[02:09] <MeGustavo> if someone available to help me out lemme know :)
[02:10] <mingdao_> another *dude* looking for a +b
[02:10] <MeGustavo> 2 packages ive installed dont show up in dpkg --get-selections
[02:10] <Boom_Farmer> Don't feel dumb; rather, be happy that you have learned a new troubleshooting tool.
[02:10] <_harry_> still new to this, thanks a lot for the help guys
[02:10] <_harry_> You're right ;)
[02:11] <Awesomeo2000> _harry_:not learn to keybind it to control the volume so you don't have to run alsamixer everytime.
[02:11] <Awesomeo2000> *now
[02:12] <_harry_> Okay, good idea, thanks.
[02:12] <mingdao_> _harry_: after you close alsamixer run "alsactl store" to save your settings across reboots
[02:12] <_harry_> Okay, thanks mingdao_
[02:13] <mingdao_> _harry_: np
[02:14] <_harry_> If, I can ask one more question. I installed LMMS using Synaptic, but it doesn't show up in my "audio production" menu.
[02:14] <_harry_> I can get it to run, but I would like it to be with all of the other files in the menu.
[02:15] <escott> !alacarte | _harry_
[02:15] <escott> !info alacarte | _harry_
[02:15] <_harry_> Great, thanks a million.
[02:16] <t0ken> anyone using kexec in ubuntu for super fast reboots?
[02:16] <_harry_> Take care all.
[02:18] <fbc_mx> Is there a network utility that give you a graphical display of Access Point Channels? So you know which channel is clear?
[02:19] <t0ken> fbc_mx: kismet mebbe
[02:19] <fbc_mx> t0ken, awesome thanks
[02:20] <t0ken> http://www.kismetwireless.net/screenshot/kis-new-channelpower.jpg
[02:21] <MeGustavo> if someone available to help me out lemme know :)
[02:21] <MeGustavo> 2 packages ive installed dont show up in dpkg --get-selections
[02:21] <MeGustavo> compliling from source
[02:21] <fbc_mx> t0ken,  is there anyway that it can display the BSSID so you know which ones are yours and need to be moved?
[02:21] <MeGustavo> pianobar and php
[02:22] <escott> MeGustavo, if you compiled from source what makes you even think they would be in dpkg
[02:22] <t0ken> fbc_mx: probably, it's basically a wireless sniffer.  I haven't used it in many years tho
[02:23] <Fudge> wondering if anyone is using a new amd laptop, mine seems to have seconds of lag for no apparent reason. could jsut be swapping from intel perhaps
[02:24] <Atamisk> anyone up here good at running git?
[02:25] <itaylor57> Atamisk, try #git
[02:25] <Atamisk> good idea:P
[02:25] <Atamisk> thanks
[02:27] <escott> Fudge, "lag" can be a lot of things. ive had painful lag with firefox because of filesystem issues and firefox's frequent use of sync calls
[02:28] <Fudge> escott  its more when i switch from consoles to gnome or other way round
[02:28] <Fudge> there is a few seconds of lag, but i have not experienced it on my netbook or other machines with same setup
[02:29] <qin> fbc_mx: Not sure if this is graphical enough: "sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning | grep Channel:"
[02:29] <escott> Fudge, that is common. a lot of graphics card state has to be saved and torn down for the console. switching to console is not something you should do when running the proprietary drivers
[02:29] <Fudge> MeGustavo  if you compile from source the software is not registered with debian packager
[02:30] <alazyworkaholic> Has anyone tried running LGP's game Cold War on ubuntu recently? I can't get sound. I got a message that suggests /dev/sound/dsp doesn't exist & it should.
[02:30] <Fudge> escott  ah that makes sense
[02:30] <MeGustavo> so
[02:30] <fbc_mx> qin, thanks, but the kismet option give alot more info.
[02:30] <MeGustavo> hm
[02:30] <escott> MeGustavo, when compiling from source you are completely responsible for those packages. you have to update them, and you have to be able to remove them
[02:31] <Nighthwk> My `puter keeps crashing on ubuntu 10.04 when the montior goes to sleep. Any ideas how to fix?
[02:31] <MeGustavo> gotcha
[02:31] <MeGustavo> i'll read up on that then
[02:31] <escott> MeGustavo, you should try to use a --prefix argument for ./configure and put them in /opt
[02:31] <MeGustavo> i thought it was a glitch
[02:31] <MeGustavo> opt as in optional?
[02:32] <Awesomeo2000> MeGustavo: opt is a directory under root /
[02:32] <alazyworkaholic> If a program is looking for /dev/dsp & can't find it because sound systems have evolved, is there a way to reroute the program?
[02:32] <escott> MeGustavo, or use /usr/local if you prefer that over /opt

[02:33] <StepNjump> Hi guys, something happened with my grub. It boots up with GRUB Rescue> Any idea what I could do to fix that?
[02:33] <Nighthwk> My computer keeps crashing on ubuntu 10.04 when the monitor goes to sleep. Anyone have any ideas how to fix?
[02:33] <t0ken> MeGustavo: nothing really to add, but this may be useful for future endeavors
[02:33] <t0ken> http://tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html/
[02:33] <escott> StepNjump, could be a corrupted fs, boot the live cd and fsck the partitions
[02:33] <alazyworkaholic> escott: I suspected as much, but the message is this: /usr/lib32/libtdb.so.1.2.9open /dev/[sound/]dsp: No such file or directory

[02:34] <Julien_> 	Hi, what's the best OS for an old PC (core2duo E6300, 2GB ram, Geforce 8600GTS) ? W7 or the last ubunu?
[02:35] <StepNjump> escott, I installed Acronis for windows and when it rebooted, I found out it would no longer boot up. Must be due to Acronis that made a change to the boot sector
[02:35] <aeon-ltd> Julien_: lol old pc :)
[02:35] <xangua> Julien_: if you joined the ubuntu channel, what do you think is the answer you are gonna get¿
[02:35] <aeon-ltd> Julien_: dude that's modern as hell
[02:36] <aeon-ltd> Julien_: anything would be good, though i'd choose ubuntu just to save cash
[02:36] <t0ken> heh, old pc = 486 DX2
[02:36] <Julien_> aeon-ltd: lol not in japan ¨!
[02:37] <aeon-ltd> dude everywhere c2d is only one generation old
[02:37] <Julien_> xagua: i hope you are loyal,. windows channel tell me ubuntu, so ...
[02:37] <Awesomeo2000> Julien_ : so download the livecd and try it out.
[02:38] <urlin2u> StepNjump, I have seen this happen with acronis the #windows channel may help but the forums are a great resource as well. http://www.sevenforums.com/
[02:38] <MeGustavo> thanks escott Awesomeo2000 and t0ken
[02:39] <StepNjump> Thanks a lot urlin2u
[02:40] <StepNjump> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair
[02:40] <urlin2u> StepNjump, no problem, I only use windows for writing college papers and helping those that need it, and am anti brand loyalty, it is childish. :D
[02:40] <StepNjump> ooops sorry... duh this is not a terminal window
[02:40] <Nighthwk> My computer keeps crashing on ubuntu 10.04 when the monitor goes to sleep. Anyone have any ideas how to fix?
[02:40] <Xeneth> Is there a way in Ubuntu to check if my laptop has a graphics GPU capable of Cuda or Stream?
[02:42] <Awesomeo2000> xeneth: nope, if you know what nvidia card you have, you can go to nvidia website to check.
[02:42] <StepNjump> urlin2u.. I fully agree with you. I am more anti windoze now than ever... What a waste that they forced people to upgrade all the peripherals that no longer work under Vista or Win7... We should have a new moto  for Linux: Linux is GREEN
[02:42] <neil_m> Xeneth lspci | grep VGA
[02:42] <neil_m> then goodle
[02:43] <neil_m> ehh google
[02:44] <StepNjump> urlin2u, I just keep it because it came with this notebook. I only use one software on it because my peripheral will not work under Ubuntu. I love Linux. As a matter of fact, I just had it installed at my old aunt of 70 years old just today. She loves it! I think it will be easier for her to learn Linux. She was getting very nervous with all those Windoze errors she kept getting lol
[02:44] <urlin2u> StepNjump, I'm not so anti any OS to be honest I started on open source, they all have a good, bad and ugly side.  It is a kernel
[02:46] <StepNjump> Can you imagine all the landfills with all those scanners, monitors, printers and I don't know what that no longer work under Win7 that just a few months ago would sell big price... ridiculous
[02:46] <bazhang> !ot | StepNjump Evollana
[02:46] <StepNjump> ok bazhang
[02:47] <StepNjump> We got carried away. Np... sorry
[02:47] <Evollana> StepNjump: bazhang read my name backward. You know who I am, be nice and we will be nice.
[02:47] <StepNjump> lol ok!
[02:48] <neil_m> !seen sense
[02:48] <neil_m> damn
[02:48] <Awesomeo2000> !dance
[02:48] <StepNjump> guys what would be a good term I could download?
[02:48] <Xeneth> neil_m, Thanks.   I'll give it a try
[02:49] <aeon-ltd> StepNjump: rxvt-unicode
[02:49] <neil_m> :)
[02:49] <mingdao_> StepNjump: rxvt-unicode
[02:49] <Xeneth> neil_m, It's a hand me down computer, so it may have been before development of stream.  it's a 9050 radeon
[02:49] <Evollana> StepNjump: good stuff imho
[02:50] <neil_m> Xeneth ahh
[02:51] <raldu> anyone here also hates glossy laptop screens too?
[02:51] <Xeneth> raldu, I like them, makes it seem like new... Though I use it in a cave so no glare...
[02:51] <Evollana> raldu oh gosh yeah! I am half blind now because I had a Sony!
[02:52] <raldu> dude, it's really disturbing
[02:52] <raldu> I don't know where to put my laptop to get the "perfect" view
[02:53] <mingdao_> although rxvt-unicode in Ubuntu seems to be built without the perl extensions ... how does one fix that?
[02:53] <raldu> there is always something wrong with brightness
[02:53] <mingdao_> and without tabs ... it's neutered
[02:53] <Evollana> raldu Get some sand paper and rub that gloss out. I did. Use a fine grit though.
[02:53] <raldu> lol serious?
[02:53] <bazhang> raldu, Evollana this is far outside the scope of this channel, #ubuntu-offtopic for chat
[02:53] <mingdao_> no
[02:54] <raldu> sorry
[02:54] <mingdao_> raldu: don't rub your monitor's screen with sandpaper
[02:54] <mingdao_> rub Evollana's with it, but not yours
[02:54] <zilly> What's the easiest way to automatically login a user with Xubuntu?
[02:54] <escott> raldu, think seriously about any advice someone with a nick like that gives you
[02:55] <raldu> yea I see now
[02:55] <tensorpudding> mingdao_: you could change the build options in the source package and build your own customized version
[02:55] <Guest38369> xubuntu is naive
[02:55] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: sorry, new to Ubuntu ... but not to buildling from source
[02:55] <Xeneth> mingdao_, raldu:  Why use sandpaper when a sledgehammer does much better ...  and more satisfying.
[02:55] <Guest38369> do you think so
[02:56] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> mingdao_: Lawlz, as if anyone here does... *doesn't point a few who do*
[02:56] <tensorpudding> mingdao_: well i don't know if there's another way
[02:57] <adam_> hi all
[02:57] <tensorpudding> short of finding a PPA hosting customized versions, but that's not likely
[02:57] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Hello adam_.
[02:57] <adam_> i'd like to say i love the new ubuntu beta 2 release
[02:57] <Xeneth> mingdao_, What are you trying to get/do?
[02:57] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> adam_: 11.10?
[02:57] <adam_> yup
[02:57] <adam_> unity is improved quite a lot
[02:57] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> OMG, I should hop onto that now.
[02:58] <adam_> the trick to adapting to unity: learn the kb shortcuts
[02:58] <mingdao_> Xeneth: urxvt has features such as tabs; launching URLs with a click, etc
[02:58] <Guest38369> what about the ubuntu 11.10
[02:58] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> adam_: I'm using 11.10 right now. (Unity 2D baby!!).
[02:58] <adam_> I got the 3d drivers for my ati card
[02:58] <adam_> works beautifully
[02:58] <Guest38369> it much like the apple
[02:59] <tensorpudding> mingdao_: i don't believe you can get that functionality without it being built in
[02:59] <tensorpudding> mingdao_: which means compiling
[02:59] <mingdao_> Those are simple configure options that whoever built it didn't include.
[02:59] <tensorpudding> are you sure?
[02:59] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: ./configure -help on the source ...
[02:59] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: yes
[02:59] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: I run Gentoo and Slackware
[03:00] <Xeneth> mingdao_, May want to look around on launchpad.  There are some PPA's that may have what you are looking for.
[03:00] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> mingdao_: Actually, wouldn't it be:  ./configure --help
[03:00] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: my wife's PC has Ubuntu, and I installed it on this new ThinkPad last night to have something running other than Windows
[03:00] <tensorpudding> mingdao_: i meant, are you sure that it isn't configured in the package?
[03:01] <tensorpudding> which parts aren't available, you say?
[03:02] <Evollana> in vi and just punched in a Python program. Need to set IPT in RT. How do you open a subprocess. I just hit something like this p = Popen('/usr/bin/sudo /usr/bin/touch /tmp/foo.txt'.split(),
[03:02] <Evollana> stdin=PIPE, stdout=PIPE)
[03:02] <tensorpudding> mingdao_: i'm looking at the source package now
[03:02] <tensorpudding> mingdao_: there aren't any configure options for tabs
[03:03] <Evollana> ahh Ill go back to C. Python is not my thing
[03:03] <jrib> Evollana: #python
[03:03] <Evollana> jrib program is done
[03:03] <tensorpudding> mingdao_: what do you mean by "perl extensions"? it's built with --enable-perl
[03:04] <jrib> Evollana: you're not asking a question?
[03:04] <Evollana> mingdao_ use cpan
[03:04] <tensorpudding> and there aren't any options involving the mouse that aren't already included
[03:05] <mingdao_> Ubuntusawr[xD]: -help or --help ... if you want to use an extra keystroke
[03:05] <tensorpudding> are you sure you have the right package?
[03:05] <tensorpudding> there's a -lite package that has perl disabled
[03:06] <tensorpudding> are you sure that the packages you've used before are the same upstream?
[03:06] <tensorpudding> and not a newer version than in ubuntu (9.12)?
[03:07] <Evollana> jrib I was asking a question. I was coding in Python and needed to sudo. To do that I was not 100% sure how to punch in popen there. I did it with pexpect.
[03:07] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: 9.09-3 (rxvt-unicode)
[03:07] <tensorpudding> sorry
[03:07] <tensorpudding> i'm on 11.10b2
[03:07] <tensorpudding> the version in natty might be older
[03:07] <jrib> Evollana: yes, please ask python questions in #python
[03:07] <brian99> join #ubuntu-es
[03:07] <brian99> como voy a ubuntu español?
[03:07] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: it's been in there for ages
[03:07] <xangua> !oneiric | tensorpudding
[03:07] <ex0> do it..
[03:07] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: maybe I just need some ~/.Xdefaults to trigger it
[03:08] <xangua> brian99: /join
[03:08] <brian99> ah gracias ;)
[03:08] <brian99> thanks
[03:08] <tensorpudding> xangua: not asking for help, i just realized i was quoting a beta version at him and not being very helpful
[03:08] <xangua> ok
[03:08] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: how does one get a newer version of an app?
[03:09] <tensorpudding> mingdao_: well, you use a beta version of ubuntu, or you track the upstream, or you build the latest development version of the ubuntu packages
[03:09] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: how stable is it? (11.10b2)
[03:09] <tensorpudding> mingdao_: it's not really appropriate for this channel
[03:09] <tensorpudding> the beta is discussed in #ubuntu+1
[03:09] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: I shudder to ask ... but what is the appropriate way to build from source in Ubuntu?
[03:09] <tensorpudding> i don't know if this is a version issue
[03:09] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: you said you run it ... just asked if it was stable
[03:09] <tensorpudding> one moment
[03:10] <tensorpudding> it's mostly stable
[03:10] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: no, it's a lack of ~/.Xdefaults on my part ... late night and I'm busy with other things ... wasn't thinking good
[03:10] <tensorpudding> oh
[03:10] <tensorpudding> oh, that makes sense
[03:10] <tensorpudding> right
[03:10] <tensorpudding> it's configured with Xdefaults
[03:10] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: it's PEBKAC
[03:10] <mingdao_> tarredness
[03:10] <tensorpudding> it's been a few years since i used urxvt
[03:11] <tensorpudding> i like gnome-terminal now
[03:11] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: that's where you get the tabs and clickable links, etc setup
[03:11] <Evollana> jrib now I am using Trolltech's (I lol'd) QT designer 4. I thought with all the Linux ppl here I could get a quick "like this"
[03:11] <tensorpudding> yes
[03:11] <tensorpudding> and translucent backgrounds and color schemes as i recall
[03:11] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: been using Fluxbox and minimum apps for ~8 years
[03:11] <tensorpudding> i spent a lot of time getting the color scheme just like Tango
[03:11] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: yes, all the bells and whistles
[03:11] <tensorpudding> i still have my old .Xdefaults
[03:12] <tensorpudding> dang
[03:12] <tensorpudding> i even had the urlLaunch and perl-ext-common settings
[03:12] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: I've hated all DEs for years ... but used Gnome 3 on someones machine for a few hours and liked it
[03:12] <tensorpudding> if i had taken the time to look at mine i could've told ou what was wrong a while ago
[03:12] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: if I wasn't so tired ...
[03:12] <avoider> HI
[03:13] <mingdao_> tensorpudding: now when I setup a box most of that just gets rsync'ed from another ~/
[03:13] <mingdao_> on a server
[03:13] <avoider> Is there anyway to change the theme or layout of the sidebar on the left?
[03:13] <tensorpudding> avoider: depends what you mean by theme
[03:14] <tensorpudding> avoider: you need to install the Compiz Config Settings Manager, and look at the Unity plugin
[03:14] <avoider> change settings...like mobe to bottow or something.
[03:14] <tensorpudding> avoider: it's available in the software center
[03:14] <avoider> auto hide?
[03:14] <tensorpudding> avoider: you can change how it hides
[03:14] <xangua> avoider: hide yes, move no
[03:14] <urlin2u> avoider, compiz configuration settings manager does some no moving it though.
[03:14] <tensorpudding> avoider: can't change where it spawns from though
[03:14] <tensorpudding> avoider: and as far as theme goes, you can change the way it tints
[03:14] <avoider> hmm
[03:15] <histo> ?
[03:15] <stepnjump> !grub
[03:15] <avoider> So no matter what the bar will always be at left?
[03:15] <urlin2u> avoider, apparently so for now.
[03:16] <avoider> Intresting... well thats not an issue.
[03:16] <GameBoy> what is the default bootlevel of ubuntu?
[03:16] <Evollana> Does Ubuntu use gdm still?
[03:16] <xangua> Evollana: natty yes
[03:17] <rww> Evollana: in 11.04, yes. in oneiric, we switched to LightDM.
[03:17] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> mingdao_: Does your wife like Ubuntu?
[03:17] <mingdao_> Ubuntusawr[xD]: she doesn't know the difference
[03:18] <Evollana> xangua kk was wondering. A few years ago I spent like a week patching Gnome to multiseat. gdm was kind of bloated at the time. 50k lines of code.
[03:18] <mingdao_> Ubuntusawr[xD]: the machine boots and her 2 apps start and she's happy ... but no, the interface is too confusing for her (Unity)
[03:18] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> I see. ^^
[03:18] <avoider> I dont see that program in the software center
[03:19] <avoider> Compiz Config Settings Manager
[03:19] <mingdao_> Ubuntusawr[xD]: she's been running a machine with Fluxbox for years, so it's a bit different ;)
[03:19] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Awesome.
[03:20] <GameBoy> what is the etc/rc0.d directory.. anyone?
[03:21] <avoider> Is there another way to install Compiz via online?
[03:21] <GameBoy> any one.... etc/rc0.d directory?? wats its purpose?
[03:21] <Evollana> avoider: git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/compiz
[03:21] <avoider> thanks
[03:22] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> GameBoy: There should be a config file, I remember using that as a way to tell my Ubuntu, that when it boots, it will load my list of programs for me.
[03:22] <Evollana> you need git first
[03:22] <Xeneth> Gameboy just made me remember a question I have been meaning to ask.  /home = home, /dev = devices, /boot = boot.  What is var and etc?
[03:22] <ex0>  /etc etcetera
[03:23] <xangua> avoider: compizconfig-settings-manager if you mean to configure compiz
[03:23] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Xeneth: etc would be where most system configuration files are stored at.
[03:23] <Evollana> avoider: http://wiki.compiz.org/Install/Git
[03:23] <avoider> yes thanks xangua
[03:23] <GameBoy> Xeneth: /var -> Variable data such as logs
[03:24] <Xeneth> Ubuntusawr[xD],  Looking for what it stands for.  ex0 say's etcetera.  Will be looking that up because I do not know that word.
[03:24] <xangua> Evollana: i don't think that is what he was refering
[03:24] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Xeneth: And var... I really think it's for custom softwares... At least, thats where  often times, the www folder appears at. Theres also a log folder in there too.
[03:24] <GameBoy> Xeneth: /etc -> system configuration files
[03:24] <ex0> its true though /etc stands for etcetera almost 100% sure
[03:24] <GameBoy> Xeneth: in the /etc directory there is info about boot
[03:24] <GameBoy> *booting process
[03:25] <Ubuntusawr[xD]> Xeneth: It means anything else. Mainly configuration files sits in there.
[03:25] <Evollana> xangua has ccsm too.
[03:25] <ex0> correct :)
[03:25] <sbaker48> Hello. I am trying to set up a laptop with windows xp and ubuntu. I partitioned the drive and installed xp in one partition fine. Then I installed ubuntu 11.04. Now when I boot I get "error: out of disk. grub rescue>"
[03:25] <ex0> hense ETC (etcetera)
[03:25] <Loshki> Xeneth: 'et cetera' == latin for "and the rest..."
[03:26] <Evollana> sbaker48: try df -h
[03:26] <GameBoy> Ubuntusawr: THanks buddy... but by any chance rc1.d directory means that the current run level = 1?
[03:26] <sbaker48> Evollana: I am at a "grub rescue>" prompt. It gives "Unknown command 'df'"
[03:27] <Xeneth> GameBoy, Loshki:  Thanks.  I alway's think of it when I cannot ask.  Trying to learn linux, and I learn by knowing why.  Helps alot.
[03:27] <stepnjump> !grub
[03:27] <Evollana> sbaker48: ext3-4 both have reserved space for the system. you should be able to boot from grub.
[03:27] <GameBoy> Xeneth: No probz...
[03:27] <GameBoy> Ubuntusawr: there???
[03:28] <foul_owl> Hello, I am having trouble copying and pasting with a java text box. (I am running the falstad circuits applet) ctrl-c doesn't work.
[03:28] <JoeyA> Is it possible to blacklist a package so I don't accidentally install it?
[03:28] <GameBoy> foul_owl: What do you mean by a java text box?
[03:29] <urlin2u> sbaker48, run this script from the ubuntu cd and pastebin the RESULTS.txt.  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[03:29] <GameBoy> foul_owl: i believe it is a web app...
[03:29] <iqbalkhan> excuse me guys
[03:29] <sbaker48> urlin2u: ok will try it
[03:29] <Evollana> sbaker48: Did you install Windows after GNU/Linux ? If so Windows might have messed your mbr chain up.
[03:29] <iqbalkhan> i have a problem in my ubuntu
[03:30] <iqbalkhan> the grub not show in boot menu
[03:30] <GameBoy> foul_own: there is a javascript function onpaste*(name quite not sure) enabled to false... do i make sense.. or am i lost here :)
[03:30] <ex0> no windows first

[03:30] <iqbalkhan> anyone can help me
[03:30] <iqbalkhan> ?
[03:31] <escott> !grub | iqbalkhan
[03:31] <urlin2u> ignarps, was it a wubi install?
[03:31] <escott> JoeyA, you might google for pinning. perhaps there is a way to accomplish things there
[03:31] <urlin2u> iqbalkhan, was it a wubi install?
[03:31] <JoeyA> thanks
[03:31] <alazyworkaholic> Has anyone tried running LGP's game Cold War on ubuntu recently? I can't get sound. I got a message that suggests /dev/sound/dsp doesn't exist & it should.
[03:31] <iqbalkhan> i use ubuntu 11.04
[03:32] <iqbalkhan> urlin2u: i installed ubuntu in separate partition
[03:32] <urlin2u> iqbalkhan, did you install it from insiide of windows?
[03:32] <iqbalkhan> urlin2u: no
[03:33] <JoeyA> alazyworkaholic: There's a way to emulate the dsp interface when running an application.  I don't remember it off the top of my head.
[03:33] <iqbalkhan> urlin2u: i use separate partition to installed ubuntu 11.04
[03:33] <urlin2u> iqbalkhan, are you runnng W7 and did you download the service pack 1?
[03:33] <iqbalkhan> urlin2u: i use microsoft windows xp sp2
[03:33] <urlin2u> before this happened?
[03:34] <JoeyA> alazyworkaholic: padsp: http://linux.die.net/man/1/padsp
[03:34] <alazyworkaholic> JoeyA: The terminal message is this: /usr/lib32/libtdb.so.1.2.9open /dev/[sound/]dsp: No such file or directory: warning: Can't open default OpenAL device, using no-sound mode.
[03:34] <foul_owl> basically, i have a java applet window
[03:34] <Evollana> iqbalkhan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[03:34] <foul_owl> this applet here: http://www.falstad.com/circuit/
[03:34] <foul_owl> i made a circuit
[03:34] <ramon> how do i get bash to play a sound every time i enter a command?
[03:34] <foul_owl> and you can save it as a text file
[03:35] <urlin2u> iqbalkhan, theeasiest way to do this is confirm what is where, run this script and pastebin the RESULTS.txt use the ubuntu cd.  http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[03:35] <foul_owl> by going to export....but you have to select the text and copy and paste it into a text editor. ctrl-C doesn't seem to work for copying
[03:35] <Evollana> iqbalkhan: Windows is evil. If you need to play games I would get an xbox
[03:35] <JoeyA> alazyworkaholic: You could try running the game (or wine) with padsp.  There might be other problems, though.
[03:36] <JoeyA> (at least that would probably solve the audio issue)
[03:36] <iqbalkhan> Evollana: hahaha, i'm not just to play games, but for work
[03:36] <shawn_> Can someone help me?.. I dl'd the live cd... burned the iso onto a cd.. restarted windows... installed ubuntu on a partition.. and installtion complete an says please restart.. restarted an i dont get no option to boot into ubuntu
[03:36] <Evollana> JoeyA True the Pulse Audio Dig. Sig. Processor works but you need a fast cpu.
[03:37] <Blue1> shawn_: you have a dual boot?  windows/ubutnu?
[03:37] <urlin2u> shawn_, installed from windows=wubi
[03:37] <t0ken> ramon: no idea how to do what you're trying but you might want to look at setting the "bell" for the term
[03:37] <shawn_> well this is what i did
[03:37] <shawn_> I installed the live cd
[03:37] <alazyworkaholic> JoeyA: The game runs perfectly. Just no sound. I tried running padsb coldwar . The game ran, but still no sound & the same error message.
[03:37] <shawn_> burned the iso
[03:37] <JoeyA> oh
[03:37] <shawn_> copyed to a cd... restarted computer an then installed it onto a partion
[03:38] <shawn_> an then told me to restart again which i did... well it did by its self
[03:38] <Blue1> shawn_: you said restarted windows so......
[03:38] <iqbalkhan> urlin2u: okay i'll try and i'll be right back to show you resuls.txt
[03:38] <JoeyA> padsp was all the advice I had.
[03:38] <escott> ramon, if you want a bell when the terminal completes a command you add it to the PROMPT command somehow. google for bash prompt customization
[03:38] <shawn_> yeh thats what it did after intalltion it restarted windows
[03:38] <shawn_> er
[03:38] <Blue1> shawn_: do you have both windows and ubuntu on the same machines?
[03:38] <Evollana> JoeyA: alazyworkaholic tell wine to use ALSA and start the game in cmd with padsp
[03:38] <JoeyA> alazyworkaholic: maybe winecfg will let you configure sound?
[03:38] <shawn_> Yeh.. i made a partion for it
[03:39] <JoeyA> yeah, what Evollana said.
[03:39] <urlin2u> shawn_, did you install it from a running windows?
[03:39] <Blue1> shawn_: sorry if I appear dumb -- yes or no?  windows and ubuntu?
[03:39] <tomeo> hi
[03:39] <alazyworkaholic> Evollana: It's not a wine game. It's a native Linux port from Linux Game Publishing.
[03:39] <shawn_> i installed it from a live cd..
[03:39] <Evollana> alazyworkaholic: hmmm what game?
[03:39] <shawn_> I still have windows yes thats what i was trying to do dual boot
[03:39] <shawn_> but something went wrong.. i guess
[03:39] <Blue1> shawn_: okay this may/may not help:  http://pkill-9.com/recovering-ubuntudebian-linux-after-a-windows-installhiccup/
[03:40] <tomeo> When Im adding a call to a script from /etc/rc.local, do I have to write ./path/to/script or do I just write /path/to/script ?
[03:40] <escott> ramon, i think you just add an ascii bell \a to your $PS1
[03:40] <alazyworkaholic> Evollana: Cold War
[03:40] <Stanley00> tomeo: /path/to/script is better
[03:40] <Stanley00> tomeo: but two of them will work ;)
[03:41] <tomeo> Stanley00: Would you please tell me the difference?
[03:41] <Evollana> alazyworkaholic: alazyworkaholic hmmm weird. A linux game that does not work? Did you use the get deb repo for it? Pulse Audio is not default on Wheezy
[03:42] <Stanley00> tomeo: ./ is starting form where you are, and / is alway starting from root dir
[03:42] <sbaker48> urlin2u: here is the output from the boot info script: http://pastebin.com/QWECEY5X
[03:42] <escott> tomeo, ./path/to/script is wrong it means `pwd`/path/to/script and it assumes pwd=/
[03:42] <urlin2u> sbaker48, hold on
[03:43] <maslen> How can I disable the autologout on idle for a locally logged on user?
[03:43] <tomeo> thanks a lot Stanley00 escott
[03:43] <Stanley00> tomeo: you are welcome :)
[03:43] <Evollana> maslen: under your screen saver if you are using gnome
[03:43] <Blue1> maslen: sounds like a power management issue.  System/Preferences/Power Management
[03:44] <s0126h> does ubuntu have different ISO for mac than pc?  or same ISO will work for both?
[03:44] <alazyworkaholic> Evollana: No, I bought the DVD from LGP's website a couple years ago & it worked fine with 8.04. I'm now using 11.04 & having this problem.
[03:44] <Evollana> maslen: I dont even use Ubuntu so I can only guess what they did to the UI
[03:44] <Blue1> maslen: or screensaver
[03:44] <CptJohnCampbell> hi
[03:44] <arooni-mobile> hi folks;  i'm riding my motorcycle from seattle => argentina;  currently in baja mexico.  right now i suspend my laptop which i think is fine cuz it doesnt come on ;b ut i do have a regular magnetic platter hard drive... is this OK?  or should i be shutting down the laptop each time?
[03:44] <maslen> Blue1: I don't mind the screen turning off, but I'd like to remove the need to enter the password again
[03:44] <escott> s0126h, if it is an intel mac you should be able to use the same cd just install it under bootcamp as if it were windows
[03:45] <Evollana> alazyworkaholic: Pulse should work with OSS ALSA and even JACK. Weird that you dont have sound.
[03:45] <Blue1> arooni-mobile: if you are travelling always best to shutdown
[03:45] <Evollana> alazyworkaholic: well not JACK but you are not using that anyway
[03:45] <zykotick9> maslen, screensaver remove the lock screen option
[03:45] <s0126h> escott  what if my harddrive is competely empty on my mac
[03:45] <ramon> i want bash to play an mp3 whenever i enter a command.
[03:45] <t0ken> arooni-mobile: and also, I'm way jealous.  That sounds like agreat ride
[03:45] <maslen> Ah, in the screensaver options, the option  'lock the computer when idle' was checked. Thanks.
[03:45] <maslen> ty too zykotick9
[03:46] <Blue1> maslen: look at the screensaver settings - there is a lock screen after -- that should be unchecked.
[03:46] <arooni-mobile> t0ken, its been *great* thus far ;)
[03:46] <urlin2u> sbaker48, script looks good it should be booting, use the install disc to reload grub from this link to the mbr, just read carefully.  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Copy_LiveCD_Files
[03:46] <escott> s0126h, that makes things harder because macs don't have anything close to a standard boot sequence. you probably need to install os x to get a bootable anything
[03:46] <maslen> thanks for your help Blue1, Evollana
[03:46] <alazyworkaholic> Evollana: the error is: /usr/lib32/libtdb.so.1.2.9open /dev/[sound/]dsp: No such file or directory                             I wonder if maybe /dev/sound/dsp existed years ago & now I'd have to put in a symlink to reroute the audio, but I don't have any idea where to.
[03:47]  * maslen attempts to get some work done
[03:47] <Blue1> maslen: I always lock mine, because my cat can send email by just licking the mouse - wouldn't believe it, if I hadn't seen it.
[03:47] <sbaker48> urlin2u: ok I'll take a look, thanks
[03:47] <CptJohnCampbell> How good is virtual machining in a gnu/linux distro, using a internal hdd for windows files?
[03:47] <Blue1> CptJohnCampbell: it works fairly well, as long as your machine supports virtualization
[03:48] <c-beams> how can i check the current speed of d while it is running
[03:48] <c-beams> ??
[03:48] <c-beams> dd*
[03:48] <CptJohnCampbell> thanks blue1!
[03:48] <Blue1> d?
[03:49] <Blue1> CptJohnCampbell: welcome
[03:50] <s0126h> does ubuntu use  APT or zypper
[03:51] <bazhang> s0126h, apt
[03:51] <Evollana> Blue1: you mean dd like in this ? dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=1M
[03:52] <escott> s0126h, see http://www.rodsbooks.com/ubuntu-efi/index.html
[03:52] <ska> usb-creator-gtk is very picky.. I can't get it to work for many .iso's
[03:52] <bazhang> ska iso's of what
[03:52] <ex0> use..Unetbootin for usb image handling
[03:52] <zykotick9> ska, it only works for ubuntu ISOs (usb-creator)
[03:52] <Evollana> bazhang you still hate me?
[03:53] <bazhang> Evollana, lets stay on topic please
[03:53] <Evollana> bazhang: =)
[03:53] <s0126h> does ubutu's apt  only work with  x86?  or does it work with others like  ppc/ia64/amd64/
[03:53] <bazhang> s0126h, it works with all
[03:54] <s0126h> bazhang even ia64?
[03:54] <JoeyA> Though saying Ubuntu "works with ppc" is somewhat deceptive.
[03:54] <zykotick9> bazhang, really?  Ubuntu supports PPC and IA64?  I didn't think so?
[03:54] <escott> s0126h, apt will install packages for your architecture whatever that is. its probably amd64
[03:54] <Evollana> s0126h: its a tool like anyother.
[03:54] <iqbalkhan> urlin2u: this is link for my results.txt
[03:54] <iqbalkhan> http://pastebin.com/Lp1F1ErA
[03:54] <bazhang> zykotick9, seems there was a community build of ppc, not sure of ia, but sure apt, not zypper per s0126h 's question
[03:55] <iqbalkhan> this is my results.txt content http://pastebin.com/Lp1F1ErA
[03:55] <iqbalkhan> anyone can help?
[03:55] <Ibis> Is there by any chance a PPA where I can get an updated version of unity, although it's not stable?
[03:55] <Evollana> what will be crazy cool is Debian is now going mulitarch. Ubuntu will follow.
[03:56] <sbaker48> urlin2u: I followed those directions, and I still have the same results, "error: out of disk." and then the grub rescue prompt
[03:56] <c-beams> how can i check the current speed of dd while it is running??
[03:57] <Evollana> sbaker48: ext3 and ext4 will by default save 5% of your hdd for the system so you dont get locked like you say.
[03:57] <ex0> verbose switch possibly: c-beams
[03:57] <raido> ska: Try unetbootin
[03:57] <urlin2u> iqbalkhan, you have some grub files in sda6 did you have a install there or have youtried some fixes?
[03:57] <Evollana> sbaker48: I am guessing that the chain from the mbr on boot is borked by Windows
[03:58] <cryptodira> hi folks,  ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200 Series, amd64, ubuntu 10.10....... if the machine goes to sleep more than 2 times between reboots.... i lose the video while keeping audio in both vlc and movie player...... how can i recover these functions WITHOUT rebooting?
[03:58] <escott> c-beams, iotop? or stop the dd process and ask it to give you status updates
[03:58] <ramon> oooh nvm i got it. edit ~./.bashrc where it says "# enable programmable completion features" and put in whatever command
[03:58] <Evollana> sbaker48: If you can get shell try df -h
[03:58] <sbaker48> Evollana: I have not booted windows since I installed ubuntu (I can't. I can't boot at all except for the live CD)
[03:58] <iqbalkhan> i did not install the grub in sda 6, it strange for me
[03:59] <iqbalkhan> so how do i fix that?
[03:59] <Evollana> sbaker48: with the live CD try to mount your HDD and run the cmd df -h
[03:59] <urlin2u> sbaker48, you may need to chroot in can you post that script again I had to ren=boot and lost the link.
[03:59] <Evollana> sbaker48: that will tell you how much space you have.
[03:59] <zykotick9> cryptodira, does restart Xorg fix the issue?  "sudo service gdm restart" type thing?  Also, can you change the VO of VLC/Movie Player to test?
[04:00] <iqbalkhan> urlin2u:i did not install the grub in sda 6, it strange for me,
[04:00] <sbaker48> urlin2u: http://pastebin.com/QWECEY5X
[04:00] <iqbalkhan> so how do i fix that?
[04:00] <cryptodira> zykotick9,  i do not know.... i will try those options and report back.... thanks.
[04:01] <escott> iqbalkhan, you likely mistakenly did grub-install /dev/sda3 instead of /dev/sda and then blew through the warnings. As for removing that, you could use dd but im not sure how to do that savely
[04:01] <escott> iqbalkhan, safely
[04:02] <iqbalkhan> escott:what is dd?
[04:02] <Evollana> cryptodira: a guess would be to flush the video buffer. Try Ctrl F1 Then back to Ctrl F8 or whatever your windows manager is using for gnome
[04:02] <escott> iqbalkhan, a low level disk modification tool
[04:03] <iqbalkhan> escott: i use boot-repair
[04:03] <zykotick9> iqbalkhan, as a translation of escott's "a low level disk modification tool" it's more a bit-for-bit copy tool.
[04:04] <cowlicks> I was getting an error message that asked me to report a problem, and it required me to enter an administrative password, why?
[04:04] <iqbalkhan> escott: and i installed the grub in separate sda, and i select sda6
[04:04] <urlin2u> sbaker48, I would try a chroot, I'm assuming you understand these commands. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot
[04:04] <iqbalkhan> escott:is that cause the grub not show in boot menu?
[04:05] <escott> iqbalkhan, you mean you want to have sda6 be a /boot partition? the reason you aren't booting is that your mbr is looking to sda3 and its /boot directory
[04:05] <iqbalkhan> zykotick: um,, i never use that
[04:05] <escott> iqbalkhan, whatever is in sda6 is not being used right now
[04:05] <escott> cowlicks, to collect information needed to debug the problem
[04:06] <iqbalkhan> escott: so escott how to fix that?
[04:06] <iqbalkhan> escott:use the boot-repair again?
[04:06] <escott> iqbalkhan, how do you want your boot to work. do you want to use what is in sda6 or what is in sda3
[04:07] <iqbalkhan> escott:i want to use in sda3
[04:08] <JusticeZero> I downloaded an old package in the form of a .tar.bz2 file. I want to install the package. (the new veresion appears to have broken things, and I want to test that). What do I need to type/do to install it?
[04:08] <bonez2046> what controls 'lo', the loopback adapter? I open irssi today and couldn't get a login until I ran 'ifconfig lo up', and then everything connected correctly
[04:08] <urlin2u> iqbalkhan, so sda3 is whch /home or /boot and sda6 is what grub is competeing, it looks like a seperate home setup?
[04:09] <ex0> justice: tar -zxvf filename.tar.bz2
[04:09] <escott> iqbalkhan, in that case you need to 1) boot the live cd 2) mount the sda3 partition but not the sda6 partition 3) remove the files in /mount/sda3/boot 4) mount sda6 onto /mount/sda3/boot 5) chroot into /mount/sda3 6) run grub-install /dev/sda
[04:09] <escott> !compile | JusticeZero
[04:10] <JusticeZero> I don't know about compiling. I just want to revert to an earlier version.
[04:10] <urlin2u> iqbalkhan, you fstab shows sda3 as the boot partition.
[04:10] <ex0> df --help
[04:10] <escott> JusticeZero, if you can get the old deb file you can dpkg install it directly and then pin
[04:10] <urlin2u> iqbalkhan, well not exactly boot but /
[04:10] <iqbalkhan> escott: now i'm in live cd i'll try now
[04:10] <escott> !pinning | JusticeZero
[04:10] <ChrisH> Hello, first time on Ubuntu IRC. Trying to start unity-2d from an Ubuntu Chroot 11.04 install; unity-2d and gdm are installed, xserver and xterm are running. I am unsure of the exact command line sequence to launch the desktop.
[04:11] <sbaker48> urlin2u: gah. still the same
[04:11] <escott> JusticeZero, check your /var/cache/apt for the old deb
[04:11] <iqbalkhan> urlin2u: what do you mean fstab?
[04:12] <todd_> anyone know of an easy way to run cheese maximized?
[04:12] <Nautilus> just curious, in /etc/php5/apache2 there is a php.ini.ucf-dist file .... whats the "ucf" stand for?
[04:13] <bonez2046> ChrisH: Welcome.. if you have xserver and gdm installed correctly the gui desktop should load after you reboot..
[04:13] <symptom> anyone know where to set the syndaemon defaults in ubuntu 1010
[04:13] <JusticeZero> escott, I only see the new (broken) version, not the older.
[04:13] <urlin2u> iqbalkhan, if you look art the boot script towards the bottom you will see this  sda3/etc/fstab, if your not familiar it ereally doesn't matter the question is which of the two partitions sda3 and sda6, did you make / and home or did you .
[04:14] <iqbalkhan> escott: what the command to mount sda3?
[04:14] <urlin2u> iqbalkhan, I would follow escott that is where I was headed.
[04:14] <Stanley00> todd_: try cheese -f ? it will be full screen
[04:15] <Krenair> When I upgraded to natty, I noticed a few of my applications broke slightly.
[04:15] <todd_> Stanley00: No :-(
[04:15] <Glitchy_> #anonnet.org
[04:15] <Krenair> They're still usable but behave oddly.
[04:15] <LindaLoveLace> is there a way i can change my windows startup services from ubuntu? im having an issue with Windows booting.
[04:16] <Krenair> For example, dropbox's icon in the top right (I'm using classic desktop) has no colours
[04:16] <Glitchy_> anyone here know the anonymous irc channel?
[04:16] <escott> iqbalkhan, sudo mkdir /media/sda3; sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/sda3
[04:16] <LindaLoveLace> Glitchy_: it wouldn't be anonymous if everyone knew.
[04:16] <Krenair> jd-gui has lost it's toolbar, and the open file dialog is screwed
[04:16] <ex0> #anonymous
[04:16] <ex0> rofl
[04:16] <Glitchy_> lol yeah I guess your right
[04:16] <ariesam> f
[04:16] <ex0> google.com has the answer
[04:17] <LindaLoveLace> Glitchy_: if i were you i would use a SSL before you go in there lol
[04:17] <Glitchy_> tried that, but I'm somewhat new to IRC...and when I say somewhat, I mean first time ever logging in lol
[04:17] <urlin2u> sbaker48, not sure here if it was me I would in the chroot purge and reinstall grub, or use a supergrub disc to get in. here is the chroot purge. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Purge_.26_Reinstall  here is supergrub. http://www.supergrubdisk.org/super-grub2-disk/
[04:17] <bonez2046> anonymous irc?
[04:17] <ariesam> iio9
[04:17] <todd_> I think I need to make the window fullscreen after the fact, any way to maximize a window by pid, or something???
[04:18] <ChrisH> bonez2046: xserver came installed with Ubuntu chroot, gdm was installed afterward with 'sudo apt-get install gmd'. Is there a way to verify these were installed correctly? They are both using official Ubuntu repos
[04:18] <ariesam> nk
[04:18] <escott> JusticeZero, check the mirrors?
[04:18] <seik> i'm sure groups like that just love strangers wandering in
[04:18] <Glitchy_> #LindaLoveLace Yeah, wondering if I should use Tor...but I don't know how to run an SSL, and I'm still very unfamiliar with this stuff...Hell, I'm still getting used to Ubuntu lol
[04:18] <Stanley00> todd_: I remember compiz has some setting to maximize some spec app, you should search for that if you want
[04:18] <LindaLoveLace> is there a way i can change my windows startup services from ubuntu? im having an issue with Windows booting.
[04:19] <sbaker48> urlin2u: ok thanks I'll take a look at those. This is very odd because I'm really not doing anything out of the ordinary at all. No idea why this wouldn't just work from the beginning
[04:19] <iqbalkhan> escott: how to remove file /sda3/boot?
[04:19] <JusticeZero> As noted, I found one, in .tar.bz2 form. tar does not like it because it is not gzip format.
[04:19] <bonez2046> ChrisH: they are working if your system loads a gui interface, not character mode as in here, but graphical instead
[04:19] <silv3r_m00n> I have a firefox icon on my desktop , where can I get the icon image?
[04:19] <iqbalkhan> escott:can you give me the command in each step you said, if you don't mind,,
[04:20] <LindaLoveLace> Glitchy_: tbh if you dont really understand ubuntu and what not i wouldn't suggest going in anonymous channel, their gunan think your a skiddie, but if your just looking for there movement and information then sure. -we also like to tell you that it's illegal :D
[04:20] <bonez2046> ChrisH: you may have to tweak your xserv.conf or appropriate configuration file for your video hardware to get it to generate the graphical interface
[04:20] <todd_> Stanley00: What I am not sure what you mean???
[04:21] <cowlicks> I was getting an error message that asked me to report a problem, and it required me to enter an administrative password, why?
[04:21] <Krenair> Anyone know why JD-GUI looks strange on Ubuntu 11.04 classic desktop?
[04:21] <Stanley00> todd_: nvm what I said
[04:21] <Glitchy_> Don't really care  about legal/illegal, just want to be a part of it...It's driving me nuts trying to converse with them via their blogspot comments...not one response...just would feel way better if I could be a part of the convo
[04:21] <JusticeZero> I have it in a file on my desktop and also open in Archive manager, but it is unclear how I get it from there to a running package.
[04:21] <symptom> anyone know where to set the syndaemon defaults in ubuntu 1010
[04:22] <symptom> ?
[04:22] <urlin2u> sbaker48, sometimes a install just doesn't go right, not very often though, so i suggest the purge or the suprgrub, or since it is fresh i hate to say reinstall, but that may be it.
[04:22] <sereal> what does the permission 's' mean? drwxrwsr-x
[04:23] <LindaLoveLace> Glitchy_: fully understandable i myself support them, but i would suggest making sure you're secure before you enter because that is their turf, not saying their all destructive but you also never know who is in there.
[04:23] <sereal> i'm trying to setup my permissions for /var/www so I can make files and edit stuff with my normal user, I have added myself to the www-data group.
[04:23] <todd_> Stanley00: Hey! I came across wmctrl in my compiz search, ever use that???
[04:23] <escott> iqbalkhan, i need to get to sleep. but its basically the following: sudo -i; mkdir /media/sda3; mount /dev/sda3/ /media/sda3; mount (and make sure sda6 is not mounted); rm -rf /media/sda3/boot/*; mount /dev/sda6 /media/sda3/boot; mount -t bind /dev /media/sda3/dev; there are a few others like the last check the chroot instructions; chroot /media/sda3; grub-install /dev/sda
[04:23] <LindaLoveLace> Glitchy_: anyways i need to reboot win7 is having issues /sigh typical lol
[04:24] <Glitchy_> True, I really need to learn more about this OS and learn how to secure my stuff prior to hopping in there anyway, that way I don't put them at risk...
[04:24] <Stanley00> todd_: nope, I just use oneiric, and there a setting in unity, dont know much about natty and before...
[04:24] <Glitchy_> K, hit me up if you can, maybe you can help me a little
[04:25] <LindaLoveLace> Glitchy_: well i would suggest sitting in this channel and playing around with ubuntu as much as you can, exploring is considering hacking aswell ;)
[04:25] <todd_> Stanley00: a setting in unity???
[04:25] <LindaLoveLace> Glitchy_: sorry - it IS a part of hacking** basics are key point to learning
[04:26] <ChrisH> bonez2046: Is there a manual command sequence to launch GDM or Ubuntu 2D from the command line? Perhaps that will display error feedback that I can use to troubleshoot xorg. When executing just 'ubuntu-2d' from terminal, it returns 'command not found'. Was hoping I was misstyping the command or should include somehting like 'exec ubuntu-2d' or something
[04:28] <Stanley00> todd_: in oneiric, it has a key /apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/automaximize_value that auto maximize a win, but I didnt see it in natty, maybe it  hides somewhere
[04:28] <ariesam> q opinan d Google+ ?¿
[04:29] <Stanley00> todd_: but I dont see much diff between maximize and fullscreen, just use what you have then ;)

[04:29] <CoffeeIV> I am using tar to do regularly scheduled backups of some files that change (log files), and I would like to suppress the "file changed as we read it" message tar gives, because it makes the script appear to fail. GNU tar documentation online refers to --warning=no-file-changed , but this doesn't appear to be in Ubuntu.  Any suggestions besides capturing stderr and etc from tar in the backup script ?
[04:30] <todd_> Stanley00: I got it... wmctrl -r Cheese -b add,fullscreen
[04:30] <todd_> Stanley00: Thanks
[04:31] <Stanley00> todd_: glad you found it
[04:33] <sereal> can someone give me a hand with user permissions?
[04:33] <todd_> Stanley00: Well next time someone wants to manipulate a window... wmctrl :-)
[04:33] <todd_> chaio, and thanks!
[04:33] <sereal> I'm trying to add myself to the www-data group so I can edit and make files in /var/www
[04:33] <sereal> I have added myself to the group, but I can't seem to figure out why I can't edit and add files :p
[04:33] <Ibis> sereal: adduser <username> <groupname>
[04:35] <Ibis> sereal: It could because the group only has view permission. (ANd so far, the owner has full read-write permission).
[04:37] <Ibis> sereal: If you're doing this on your own personal computer. I would simply just make a  virtualhost and then set it up so that document root is in  my home folder.     /home/<myself>/mywebsite/public_html         Visit the #httpd channel for more info on setting up virtualhost
[04:38] <Ibis> I usually ignore my /var/www folder
[04:45] <JusticeZero> OK, I just unpacked this troublesome archive into a directory on my computer. I want to install it as a package, though. (I have it in a .tar.bz2 as well, but I tried a tar command as suggested early on and got an error that it was not an acceptable format.) What do I do?
[04:46] <Pavlz> hello
[04:46] <mingdao_> JusticeZero: file blah.tar.bz2
[04:46] <JusticeZero> I don't want to tinker with it or anything, I just want to install it as package.
[04:46] <Pavlz> at the moment i  am using the shell and irssi to write in chat
[04:46] <mingdao_> JusticeZero: you don't just install a tarball as a pkg
[04:47] <JusticeZero> Well I can't find any other formats. :p
[04:47] <mingdao_> http://paste.pocoo.org/show/482012
[04:47] <Pavlz> i got a problem with Ubuntu: it is possible to open only a little part of firefox
[04:47] <mingdao_> mouse error
[04:48] <Pavlz> i try in any way to open totally, but i don't find a solution
[04:48] <Pavlz> anyone can help me ?
[04:48] <JusticeZero> The latest wine update broke the program I was using, and they seem to no longer keep archived older versions on the site.
[04:48] <mingdao_> JusticeZero: type "file blah.tar.bz2" in a terminal and post the output just to see what type of file you have
[04:48] <Glitchy_> Hello everyone
[04:48] <sivakumar_> hi good morning to every one
[04:49] <mingdao_> Pavlz: open a little way?
[04:49] <JusticeZero> >wine-1.3.27.tar.bz2: bzip2 compressed data, block size = 900k
[04:49] <Pavlz> yes only a little part of firefox :-(
[04:49] <mingdao_> JusticeZero: tar xf wine-1.3.27.tar.bz2    will unpack the tarball
[04:49] <mingdao_> Pavlz: you mean not in full screen?
[04:50] <Pavlz> there is not way to see which windows are opened
[04:50] <sivakumar_> i am facing a problem...that  i loss my window control buttons now i cant able to close any window......how to solve it please help me
[04:50] <varunvyas> hi all i m on 11.04 now, is it safe to move on 11.10 ?
[04:50] <KM0201> varunvyas: what do you think?
[04:50] <mingdao_> Pavlz: or do you mean firefox is on top of other windows and won't minimize or anything/
[04:51] <varunvyas> i yhink to move but not sure
[04:51] <urlin2u> varunvyas, if you have to ask no is the general respone. :D
[04:51] <KM0201> varunvyas: i think you need to reevaluate, it is a beta, which breaks.. frequently.
[04:51] <JusticeZero> OK, and then what?
[04:51] <varunvyas> ok, thanks for suggestion :)
[04:52] <Pavlz> when you open firefox, you have the possibility to open to full screen the main window, using the mouse, or don't use all the screen
[04:52] <xaviergmail> hey, any way to re-install / update grub to it recognises windows?
[04:52] <kneaux> does anybody use rygel? I can't even get started.
[04:52] <mingdao_> Pavlz: yes ... you click on the square box to make Firefox minimize
[04:53] <Pavlz> i don't know why, but now is  not possible to open to full screen or to track with the mouse
[04:53] <urlin2u> xaviergmail, are you in ubuntu?
[04:53] <josephseraos> hi everybody, I'd like to make my screen to sleep. How could I do it via command line?
[04:53] <kneaux> or, alternatively, can someone suggest a DLNA server, or tell me a better way I can make beautiful music come out of my computer speakers from my phone?
[04:54] <kneaux> *different/better DLNA server than Rygel
[04:54] <xaviergmail> urlin2u: yep
[04:54] <mingdao_> Pavlz: right-click on the Firefox menu and click on maximize, or minimize, or whatever you want
[04:54] <urlin2u> xaviergmail, if ubuntu was the last linux install run sudo udatye-grub
[04:54] <urlin2u> sudo update-grub xaviergmail
[04:55] <josephseraos> I know this command "xset dpms force off" but it doesn't work very well. It seems to be working but for some reason after 5 seconds of suspend it goes back to the screensaver mode.
[04:55] <Pavlz> on the firefox logo ?
[04:55] <t0ken> kneaux: might check out subsonic if you're just streaming to your phone.  It's a pretty swank music/jukebox app too
[04:55] <xaviergmail> I had to install ubuntu before windows since my windows disc didn't work
[04:55] <Pavlz> i can tell you that on the top of the menu i can access till a part of view
[04:56] <urlin2u> xaviergmail, how did you get inst ubuntu?
[04:56] <urlin2u> into*
[04:56] <xaviergmail> had 2 cds
[04:56] <xaviergmail> oh
[04:56] <xaviergmail> ubuntu's partition was set to system
[04:56] <xaviergmail> windows' was set to something else
[04:56] <mingdao_> Pavlz: sorry, I don't understand or know how to help
[04:56] <Pavlz> the screen works  fine, for the simple fact that is new and i read all to full screen
[04:56] <urlin2u> xaviergmail, 2 HD;s
[04:57] <xaviergmail> only 1
[04:57] <xaviergmail> but I think that command worked
[04:57] <xaviergmail> "Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1"
[04:57] <t0ken> Pavlz: I don't suppose you have a way to take a screen shot and post to imgur.com or something?
[04:57] <urlin2u> xaviergmail, cool windows should have overwritten the MBR.
[04:57] <urlin2u> on a install
[04:58] <xaviergmail> it didn't because the other partition was set to system  and the one i was instelling windows on was something like storage
[04:58] <xaviergmail> let me reboot brb
[04:58] <Pavlz> mingdao_ i told you that is posssible to view only a part of the browser firefox, it is possible to watch the top of menu, where is writeen view

[05:02] <t0ken> Pavlz: so, has the firefox window just moved so you can no longer see the File Edit stuff at the top of the window and you need to just move it down?
[05:02] <t0ken> like you cann't grab the top of the window?
[05:03] <Pavlz> i need to resize the window to the right size
[05:03] <Pavlz> i can asee only a little part from the top to the bottom  in the left size of the screen

[05:05] <Pavlz> thanks again
[05:06] <Na`vi> i need help
[05:07] <JusticeZero> *beats head on wall*
[05:07] <knandan> I am trying to install php5-curl on my machine..but I get the follwoing error....can anyone tell me what could be the reason?
[05:08] <knandan> http://pastebin.com/Wib8aPqJ
[05:08] <JusticeZero> Someone is having a similar problem on the forums and was advised to install PlayOnLinux to manage versions.... but the software center refuses to install PlayOnLinux because it doesn't trust one of the components.
[05:09] <knandan> I am trying to install php5-curl on my machine..but I get the follwoing error....can anyone tell me what could be the reason?

[05:09] <urlin2u> JusticeZero, pastebin the install tried in a terminal the error.
[05:09] <urlin2u> !repaet | knandan
[05:09] <urlin2u> !repeat
[05:09] <josephseraos> anybody?
[05:09] <Na`vi> i installed debian in a drive and i formatted the drive.Now i want to install ubuntu inside windows will there be any residues of the debian if i do like that/?
[05:10] <knandan> urlin2u: sorry..i thought my question would have skipped other's eyes..thats why i repeated..
[05:10] <sivakumar_> DarkForest, how ???
[05:11] <knandan> but i will take care in future
[05:11] <urlin2u> knandan, its cool just making sure you knew the drill. :D
[05:12] <Na`vi> I have windows 7 in my computer.i installed debian in a drive and i formatted the drive.Now i want to install ubuntu inside windows will there be any residues of the debian grub if i do like that/?
[05:12] <urlin2u> Na`vi, before you install a wub you may want to read what the designer says. http://howsoftwareisbuilt.com/2009/03/12/interview-with-agostino-russo-wubi-ubuntu/
[05:12] <urlin2u> wubi*
[05:13] <knandan> BTW.. i am using Ubuntu 9.04/jaunty
[05:14] <urlin2u> knandan, you know jaunty is end of life I assume.
[05:14] <knandan> so..does that mean, i wont be able to install software on this?
[05:15] <knandan> is that the reason why i am getting this error?
[05:15] <kneaux> t0ken, thanks, i'll check it out, although i am weak and will try as hard as possible to make things work through repositories
[05:16] <urlin2u> knandan, I think so, it is not in the regular repos, but there are ways not sure of them though without searching the web.
[05:16] <KM0201> knandan: yes, that is why you are getting those errors.  When a distro hits end of life, the repos "close".
[05:17] <KM0201> !eolupgrade | knandan
[05:17] <Na`vi> Why cant i give more than 30 for WUBI installation/?
[05:17] <KM0201> woops
[05:17] <KM0201> !eol | knandan
[05:17] <KM0201> knandan: read the 'EOL U pgrade" part of that link
[05:17] <Na`vi> Why cant i give more than 30GB for my wubi installation
[05:18] <JusticeZero> garrr. my network is a steaming pile of garbage.
[05:18] <KM0201> na
[05:18] <knandan> urlin2u: KM0201 isnt it bizarre..lets say I am having a version of linux..and after the eol I am not able to install ...?
[05:18] <sivakumar_> DarkForest, it is not working
[05:18] <billet75> I started a new install of 11.04 using the alternative  image. I get a error: cryptsetup: evms_activate is not available
[05:18] <urlin2u> Na`vi, that is the way it is designed did you get a chance to read the link.
[05:18] <KM0201> knandan: no its not bizarre at all... do you break out your windows 3.x software, and try to install it on Win 7
 am reading
[05:19] <billet75> it's a fresh install like twice
[05:19] <billet75> any ideas
[05:19] <KM0201> billet75: yes, don't encrypt your home drive
[05:19] <billet75> ok thx will that resolve it?
[05:19] <sivakumar_> i have installed vm ware player last night...till then after rebooting the my pc i lost my window controls ..please help me its disgusting
[05:19] <KM0201> billet75: look at the error.
[05:20] <kneaux> how do I make my computer available as a DLNA service on my (android) phone?
[05:20] <urlin2u> billet75, take a look here. http://askubuntu.com/questions/49946/switch-from-encrypted-partition-to-unencrypted-error-cryptsetup-evms-activate
[05:20] <knandan> KM0201: but Ubuntu releases are quite too often...and also in case of windows the support doesnt stop so abruptly..
[05:21] <KM0201> knandan: it's supported for 18months... if you want longer support, use an LTS release (3yrs)
[05:21] <knandan> KM0201: so..what is the way out for me..i need to have the latest ubuntu installed..?
[05:22] <KM0201> knandan: at this point though, the next LTS is in about 10mo, so... if you have really new hardware, installing 10.04 (the last LTS release) you might have some hardware recognition issues
[05:22] <KM0201> knandan: did you read the link i gave you?
[05:22] <knandan> i have just started reading it..
[05:23] <KM0201> knandan: pay particular attention to the "looking to upgrade an EOL release" link.
[05:23] <knandan> KM0201: alright..
[05:24] <billet75> it's a clean install, brand new machine, I want full disk encryption due to the kind of work i do. It asked me if I wanted my home directory encypted after choosing full disk so I should not choose yes for my home dir correct?
[05:25] <KM0201> billet75: what on earth do you need full disk encryption for?.. that's a recipe for fail... install ubuntu (w/o encryption)... then after its installed, use some of the free tools to create some encrypted folders, and keep your porn in those folders.
[05:26] <KM0201> some of you guys amaze me how you'll go out of your way, to just "try" and create a problem
[05:26] <KM0201> lol
[05:26] <billet75> I am using it on my 10.10 64 bit love will not boot until you give it the password it's the most secure
[05:27] <billet75> search google the FBI and Price Waterhouse can't break it
[05:27]  * KM0201 sighs
[05:27] <mfranz> KM0201: FDE is a requirement for most large organizations. Folder based encryption doesn't cut it.
[05:28] <KM0201> mfranz: well, then.. there's other distros that will do this natively
[05:28] <billet75> I don't want to be the idiot that gets his laptop stolen and everyone reads about
[05:28] <mfranz> the alternative install works fine you install ubuntu-desktop later
[05:29] <KM0201> ken
[05:29] <billet75> mfranz, I think I choose the wrong option, after it ask in lvm for the encryption then it asked if I want to encrypt my home dir, I believe this is the root cause of the error not sure has anyone else  got it
[05:31] <mfranz> yeah, I don't use the $HOME encryption the LUKS (LVM) encryption works fine, although as of 10.04 it didn't actually zero out/randomize your disk like Debian does
[05:31] <htlm> Hi
[05:31] <billet75> 11.04 I have installed like three time same error so I am trying 10.10
[05:31] <billet75> it's new hardware so no data
[05:32] <mfranz> billet: I even managed to recover from a livecd once when I forgot my password (but not my key)
[05:33] <billet75> yep,  this is the error I got Switch from encrypted partition to unencrypted (E)
[05:33] <billet75> sorry
[05:33] <billet75> error: cryptsetup: evms_activate is not available
[05:34] <billet75> it's my understanding that you can not encrypt the drive after install correct
[05:34] <sivakumar_> DarkForest, it worked
[05:35] <mfranz> billet, not LUKS because you are encrypting it prior to creating the filesystem
[05:35] <billet75> so why do think it's having an issue with evms after the first boot
[05:36] <billet75> could it be because I told it to encrypt the home dir after it had already set the key on the entire disk?
[05:36] <sivakumar_> how to fix vm ware
[05:37] <kneaux> i've tried rygel and supersonic and still can't figure out how i'm supposed to make my computer available as a DLNA server, any help?
[05:37] <knightrage> heya guys. i am trying to VNC into one of my machines, but the computer isn't logged in.... [basically, it had a power outage but the BIOS settings turned it back on, and is not waiting at the 'select a user and enter a password' screen]
[05:38] <Xeneth> Any advanced programmers or system analyst on?  I have a quick question, and while it's nut Ubuntu, it does not fit to any channel that I know of.
[05:38] <kneaux> (software that assumes you already know how to use software like it is the biggest fail in software. no contest. no argument. hands down. dlnafail.)
[05:38] <knightrage> i can ssh into it fine. is there any way I can access it via VNC or XDMP or something?
[05:38] <mfranz> knight, you can start vnc session while logged in via ssh
[05:39] <mfranz> knight. apt-get install tightvncserver
[05:40] <knightrage> mfranz: is there a way I can start the :0 screen? so, when the human turns on the physical monitor, it will be already logged in
[05:40] <mfranz> knight: that I don't know
[05:40] <kneaux> for instance, when I run rygel, what network interface should i be telling it to listen on? Shouldn't it be broadcasting on a network interface as well?
[05:41] <knightrage> hmm ok
[05:41] <mfranz> knight, if you find out where it stores the settings to do autologin and edit those, I'm assume it would work
[05:42] <knightrage> aaah ok i'll google. thanks
[05:42] <htlm> billet75 what's wrong
[05:45] <htlm> Xeneth give a shot ... maybe I direct u
[05:49] <Xeneth> htlm I came acro a condition in a CMTS at work in which I got in when I shouldn't have.  It's a IOS like cisco, but it's not.  What happened was that I I was letting my fingers move out of habit putting in a user/pass for another machine.  3 times I got access denied as I was expecting.  The forth time I got in.  I had less permissions then even the non-privileged mode becuase I was not even able to do a show command.  What I'm trying to und
[05:49] <Xeneth> erstand is how.  Did I get with a missing uid?  Basiclly I am going to bring this up to our NOC, but I want more info to tell them.
[05:50] <Xeneth> htlm, I wand to be able to explain it because I do not think I could duplicate it.
[05:52] <sivakumar_> hii
[05:52] <htlm> wooow mmm .... slow down a bit what's with all the lingo or abbreviations
[05:52] <htlm> hi
[05:54] <htlm> Xeneth ...  what...
[05:54] <Xeneth> htlm, CMTS I am not sure it's full meaning.  I think "Cable Modem" is the CM.  It's an RF routed for my ISP.
[05:54] <Xeneth> htlm, err router
[05:55] <Xeneth> htlm, RF = Radio Frequency
[05:56] <Xeneth> htlm, IOS = Internal Operating System (Unix Based I think)
[05:56] <Xeneth> htlm, may be wrong on that one.
[05:56] <htlm> what's acro ...     and cmts and  ios  noc?
[05:57] <Xeneth> htlm, Now you see why I was asking for an advanced programer or system analyst.
[05:58] <Xeneth> htlm, NOC = Network Operations Center.  The group that directly deals with the routers/switches/equipment of the network.
[05:59] <htlm> well my my policy is is trying to take a problem head on and no matter what you doin I can always improve on the spot for what just you, and if I get lucky  I can help more people ....lol which I seem to do... its a win win
[05:59] <htlm> no no matter what my skill level is *
[06:00] <htlm> so you work on  cisco system?
[06:01] <htlm> what os is it ....
[06:01] <htlm> specs
[06:01] <Xeneth> htlm, It's close to a cisco, but it's not.  I was thinking of asking that channel too.
[06:02] <htlm> OK ... what's the exact model
[06:02] <Xeneth> htlm, Can't give details for security reasons, I wanted to ask a specific question, but need someone who knows in depth of the authentication process of unix OS's.
[06:04] <Xeneth> htlm, just because you asked, I googled it.  CMTS = Cable modem termination system
[06:06] <htlm> well ... for what I know of bash... just  push up of the lady command ..can you do that.. the take a sceenshot  for every command
[06:06] <htlm> so what's that do..
[06:06] <Amdpc> Hi...I want to add the toolbar (which has file,edit etc options) to the panel..any ideas ?
[06:07] <Awesomeo2000> amdpc: like a mac?
[06:07] <Amdpc> Awesomeo2000 : Exactly :)
[06:07] <Xeneth> htlm, It's a sophisticated router foe providing Internet connections to cable modems/
[06:07] <Mokilok> What language are core Linux apps written in? is it C++?
[06:08] <blahsphemer_> I am attempting to understand why my race condition exploit (homework) wouldn't work on ubuntu 11.04 but works fine on 9.04. The symlink creation happens fine, but open returns EACCESS error
[06:08] <Awesomeo2000> Mokilok: more like c
[06:08] <blahsphemer_> How do I diagnose this
[06:08] <Mokilok> thanks
[06:08] <Awesomeo2000> Amdpc: i did it once. give me a second to recall.
[06:08] <Amdpc> Awesomeo2000 : Do you know how to do it ?
 : ok
[06:09] <Awesomeo2000> amdpc: it's called global-menu
[06:09] <Awesomeo2000> amdpc: not sure if it's still supported. but check it ou.
 : I am using 10.10 mavrick....and where can I get the global-menu ?
[06:11] <Awesomeo2000> http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/
[06:11] <htlm> blahsphemer_ good luck 11.04 has a lot of problems  try 10.04 or 10.10
[06:12] <blahsphemer_> htlm: it wouldn't work even in 10.10 either. I just found that it;s because of kernel.yama.protected_stick_symlinks.
[06:12] <Awesomeo2000> amdpc: http://code.google.com/p/gnome2-globalmenu/
 Let me check it...pl wait
[06:12] <blahsphemer_> htlm: I want to know how this this works
[06:13] <htlm> Xeneth  IM learning about the very ones your asking about ... just a sec

[06:35] <theadmin> gulzar: You can't safely downgrade, well, basically anything. Sorry.
 downgrade worked only rythmbox is creating this prob.....
[06:36] <theadmin> gulzar: You just said gnome-panel is
[06:37] <theadmin> gulzar: Which is the main part of Gnome, anyway.
 ya the panel can be replaced ny awn but this dpkg error not
[06:38] <theadmin> gulzar: Try the usual routine maintenace stuff
[06:38] <theadmin> gulzar: sudo dpkg --configure -a ; sudo apt-get -f install and such
 tried both the command -- NO
 will uninstalling rythmbox solves it?
[06:39] <theadmin> gulzar: Think so.
[06:39] <KM0201> if rythmbox is causing the prob, i don't see why it wouldn
[06:39] <KM0201> t
 so removing it is OK?
[06:40] <KM0201> gulzar: why wouldn't it be?  it's just a music program.
 lets try then

[06:46] <KM0201> p1und3r: is it final release?
[06:46] <theadmin> p1und3r: If it were stable, it'd be released
[06:46] <KM0201> henningvis: boot recovery mode, and change the password on that user.

[06:47] <henningvis> I am very new
[06:47] <henningvis> can you guide me on how to do that please

[06:50] <KM0201> henningvis: you know what your username is right?.. you just don't have the password
[06:51] <henningvis> well i hope so
[06:51] <theadmin> henningvis: Boot recovery mode, choose root shell, do "passwd USERNAME" (where USERNAME is your, well, username), reset the password this way... Then do "reboot". We're done there!

[07:21] <Chris-Admin> Looking for help with changing Advanced Power Settings in Ubuntu. Critically low battery is set at 30% and need to change it
[07:22] <Diamondcite> Chris-Admin: Which ubuntu version?
[07:23] <Chris-Admin> Diamondcite - 11.04, i have Ubuntu Tweak installed, does that have settings for it ?
[07:24] <Chris-Admin> Diamondcite - Ubuntu tweak doesnt have anything about it. I am looking to change the Battery % for Critical Battery etc. I have a long life battery, but when it hits 30% my laptop suspends and i cannot use it
[07:24] <Killeur57> hello
[07:24] <Diamondcite> Chris-Admin: Unfortunately I still use 10.10.. I wonder if gconf-editor still exists for you
[07:25] <Killeur57> I have a problem its someone could help me
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> Killeur57: ask and see
[07:25] <Chris-Admin> oh yes, i have that. but i havent got much experience in it
[07:25] <Killeur57> 2 days ago when I installed my ram (2GB) 4GB already has it that by identifying 3 qand go and I go to ubuntu studio and I had no more material for his (then I looked Tomorrow's since I've tried lots of stuff but nothing works. I do video editing with no sound then do not it sad  oligist @ ubuntu: ~ $ lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.. P4M890 Host Bridge 00:00.1 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.. P4M890 Host Bridg
[07:26] <Diamondcite> Chris-Admin: Starts gconf-editor
[07:26] <Chris-Admin> Diamondcite, Already have :), where should i look for that setting?
[07:26] <Diamondcite> Chris-Admin: / -> apps -> gnome-power-manager -> thresholds -> percentage_critical
[07:26] <Diamondcite> Chris-Admin: My value for that is set to 3
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> Killeur57: so you installed some RAM and the system doesn't boot?
[07:27] <Chris-Admin> Diamondcite- My Critical it set to 3 as well, does that maen 30% or 3% ? i notice that the problem only happened when i disconnected power.
[07:28] <Killeur57> It starts normally
[07:28] <young0011> hello every body,i wonder how to keep my ssh connection always alive?
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> Killeur57: so what is the issue, your question is very disjointed. What app or hardware is not working?
[07:28] <Diamondcite> Chris-Admin: Odd... I REALLY don't notice that.. I usually run my netbook down to 10%, and I never had the critical battery warning any earlier..
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> young0011: change the timeout in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[07:29] <Killeur57> audio equipment
[07:29] <Chris-Admin> DiamondCite - I will see how it goes, but i saw that when i changed the settings for the Ciritcal, it said "Only Applies if use_profile_time is false" should i disable that and see if its using the profile from my old battery?
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> Killeur57: so you have no sound?
[07:29] <young0011> ActionParsnip: if i want to keep it always on,so i can change it to a very big number?
[07:30] <ActionParsnip> young0011: you can disable it to be indefinite
[07:30] <Killeur57> ubuntu does not notice my sound card
[07:30] <young0011> ActionParsnip: ok ,thx
[07:30] <Chris-Admin> killeur57. I have had the same issue with ALSA
[07:30] <Diamondcite> Chris-Admin: There is a chance that it's judging by time left.
[07:30] <Killeur57> mais avant que je rajoute des ram le son marchait bien
[07:31] <abhinavmehta> in mac, I'm having VMWare Fusion...what similar VM is available for ubutnu..?

[07:31] <Pupeno> How do I configure Ubuntu to auto-mount a tablet, a Asus Transformer (running Android 3)?
[07:31] <Chris-Admin> Killeur57. Go to your terminal and type uname -r. Then go into Synaptics Package Manger, and find the linux-headers that correspond to your kernel. Select to Re-install all of them, and then choose to re-install Alsa-Base.
[07:31] <abhinavmehta> Pupeno: thank you. :)
[07:32] <Chris-Admin> DiamondCite - I have disabled that setting and i will see how well it works. Thank you for your help :)
[07:32] <Killeur57> ok
[07:32] <dr_willis> Pupeno:  with my android stuff when i enable the usb-storage - the file manager pops up automatically without me doing anything
[07:32] <Diamondcite> Chris-Admin: Hope it works out for you.
[07:32] <Pupeno> dr_willis: android 3 doesn't implement usb storage anymore.
[07:32] <Chris-Admin> Diamondcite - Thank you :)
[07:32] <Pupeno> dr_willis: it uses mtf or something like that.
[07:32] <Diamondcite> Chris-Admin: Also, just incase, try to change the setting to something else and change it back. It might have been overwritten
[07:32] <Killeur57> I did not understand
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> !sound | Killeur57
[07:33] <dr_willis> Pupeno:  saving up for a tablet for xmas. :)
[07:33] <Chris-Admin> Diamondcite - You mean, change the critical from 3 to 4, then back ?
[07:33] <Diamondcite> Chris-Admin: Yes.
[07:33] <Killeur57> thank you
[07:34] <ActionParsnip> Killeur57: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh; chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh; ./alsa-info.sh

[07:34] <elemental1> i działa
[07:35] <young0011> ActionParsnip: you mean to disable the connection time in server?
[07:36] <ActionParsnip> young0011: you can disable the timeout functionality in SSH so it NEVER expires. I thought I outlined this already...
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> young0011: http://rackerhacker.com/2007/04/12/disable-ssh-timeouts/
[07:37] <ActionParsnip> young0011: simple websearch would have found you that...
[07:38] <young0011> ActionParsnip: thx,i will google first next time
[07:38] <ActionParsnip> young0011: makes life easier, plus makes you more autonymous :)
[07:40] <Pupeno> Can autos mount mtp devices?
[07:40] <Pupeno> autofs
[07:40] <gulzar> cannot remove residual config from synaptic. After selecting for complete removal the apply button is still grey. How to do it?
[07:41] <Pupeno> or is there another way to make an MTP device, like an Android 3 device, easy mountable.
[07:41] <Pupeno> ?
[07:41] <dr_willis> http://alldroid.org/tabid/40/g/posts/t/1125/Mount-Internal-Storage-of-Xoom-in-Ubuntu.aspx
[07:41] <ActionParsnip> gulzar: can you pastebin the output of:  sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade    be sure to close synaptic first
[07:41] <dr_willis> and a dozen other hits for 'mtp ubuntu mount' when i looked. :)
[07:42] <dr_willis> sudo apt-get install mtpfs
[07:42] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: seems we are the chosen 2 that google/duckduckgo allow access to their sites
[07:42] <dr_willis> seems to be  step 1 :)
[07:42] <dr_willis> !info mtpfs
[07:42] <Pupeno> dr_willis: I already have mtpfs and I can mount by hand, but my wife can't.
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> Pupeno: make a script with your command :)
[07:43] <dr_willis> make fstab entry,   with the users option enabled then Pupeno
[07:43] <ActionParsnip> Pupeno: just use gksudo instead of sudo
[07:43] <dr_willis> that site has some other stuff that may be out of date. its hard to tell with each new release more stuff gets enabled by default
[07:43] <llutz> Pupeno: you added your wife to "fuser" group?
[07:43] <Pupeno> that still requires openiung the console.
[07:44] <llutz> Pupeno: use an udev-rule
[07:44] <dr_willis> or make a script/icon...
[07:44] <ActionParsnip> Pupeno: not if you make a script, it can be double clicked on the desktop
[07:44] <dr_willis> ive also seen many a mount gizmos gui;s in the past. :) with buttons.,
[07:44] <Pupeno> llutz: do you mean fuse? no, I haven't. She's an admin though.
[07:45] <cjs> So, my remuco-mplayer package under 11.04 doesn't seem to work; it doesn't play anything with "remuco-mplayer a.mp3 b.mp3 c.mp3" even though mplayer is in my path, and just using mplayer with that command line works fine. Where do I go for help on this?
[07:45] <IamTrying> Ubuntu 11.04 - has serious BUG when you ues capture card in 64-bit. Where Ubuntu 10.04 does not had that.
[07:45] <llutz> Pupeno: sry fuse i meant, yes. since mtpfs is a FUSE-fs, she needs to be member to use it (iirc)
[07:45] <Pupeno> llutz: I'll try that, thanks.
[07:46] <dr_willis> http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1077572.html  has info on the eepad :)  been looking at getting one of those.

[07:48] <tp43> if you connect your monitor to your laptop, is it possible to have dual screen?  Cause right now, my laptop display and my monitor connected via vga show the same thing
[07:48] <dr_willis> I just access my android devices over the network - :) with WiFi File Explorer on my android stuff.
[07:48] <cjs> Oh, seems remuco does not use standard BT remote controls. Never mind.
 upgrade: 0 to install 0 to remov 0 to updgrade... means nothing in it
[07:49] <llutz> dr_willis: andftp, totalcommander do well
[07:49] <tp43> dr_willis, how is android for programs, can you run same programs on your desktop on android?  what is kernel version?
[07:49] <ghabit> Hello. How to change ubuntu's popup window position? it is too far from top of screen.
[07:49] <dr_willis> tp43:  You have to have android apps. :)
[07:49] <ActionParsnip> gulzar: ok then run: sudo apt-get --purge autoremove
[07:50] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: I just use dropbox :)
[07:50] <Pupeno> dr_willis: I got my wife one, I like it. I'll get one for me when I can.
[07:50] <tp43> dr_willis, no freedom eh, better off with windows ce then cause there are tons of gpl programs for it
[07:50] <cjs> Is there anything that will allow me to use the play/pause and track forward/back controls on my Bluetooth headphones with any Ubuntu player?
[07:50] <dr_willis> tp43:  i never said there was no 'gpl' programs for android.. theres more then likely more for android then windws cd.
[07:51] <auronandace> tp43: do you have a nvidia card?
[07:51] <dr_willis> tp43:  You asked if the same app runs on your linux desktop.. answer is it needs tobe compiled for your desktop os, or for android.. since the 2 are both using linux as the core.. but are not identical
[07:51] <tp43> dr_willis, glad to hear it, I will buy one asap.  I heard ms is taking a cut for every android device
[07:51] <tp43> auronandace, I think so
[07:52] <Pupeno> llutz: adding her to the fuse group didn't fix it.
[07:52] <tp43> auronandace,  obility Radeon X300
[07:52] <dr_willis> Pupeno:  you wold need to log her out/back in for the group change to take effect.
[07:52] <auronandace> tp43: ah, then no
[07:52] <Pupeno> dr_willis: did it
[07:53] <tp43> dr_willis, yeah, but is there a decent package management system and ready to go packages available, cause who is gonna waiste time compiling for a handheld toy
[07:53] <auronandace> tp43: i don't know how to do dual screen with ati cards
[07:53] <dr_willis> tp43:  thats the whole point of the android markets and the .apk files..
[07:53] <tp43> auronandace, what about the AMD radeons, cause I thinking of buying an hp laptop
 no help.... list is still full in synaptic and apply button is grey
[07:54] <auronandace> tp43: i've only ever done dual screen with nvidia cards
[07:54] <tablemaster> if I don't get a login screen when my computer boots, and I have to switch to a different tty and startx to get a desktop, what can I reinstall to fix the problem?
[07:54] <tp43> auronandace, but as far as hardware goes, you can use the vga port separately then the direct connection to you laptop display to dual screen with a desktop monitor?
[07:55] <auronandace> tp43: yes, it is possible but i wouldn't know how
[07:55] <tp43> auronandace, well, my question was specific to the laptop case, using the vga plug
[07:55] <Pupeno> you have to be logged in in ubuntuforums to read pages?
[07:55] <dr_willis> Pupeno:  yes.
[07:55] <Pupeno> WTF? why?
[07:55] <dr_willis> ask in #ubuntuforums  i guess
[07:56] <Pupeno> ok,.
[07:56] <tp43> auronandace, so you did it before, you had a laptop, and you plugged in a desktop display and had dual screen?
[07:56] <dr_willis> spam/abuse would be my guess.
[07:56] <auronandace> tp43: i'm using dual screen myself with a t61 and an external monitor via vga so i know its possible
[07:56] <htlm> llutz I was wondering about that app... I need it for college or one like it..  we I hope I can help and be helped
[07:56] <auronandace> tp43: i configured it via nvidia settings
[07:57] <tp43> auronandace, think pad t61, and the two screens are different?
