[15:42] <stevecoh1> Is my secure email issue with Thunderbird 2.11 on Ubuntu 8.04 a known issue? (http://pastebin.com/fukwr7J6)
[15:42] <yeats> !resetpanels | kcorcoran
[15:42] <yeats> red2kic: thanks!
[15:42] <ikonia> stevecoh1: look on launchpad.net for a confirmed bug
[15:43] <yeats> red2kic: that was the ubottu command I was looking for ;-)
[15:44] <rigved> stevecoh1: it just might be security mechanism, where the password is to be entered per session.
[15:45] <a_> hi
[15:45] <a_> i installed Tilda
[15:45] <kcorcoran> yeats: i ran gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-pane and it worked for the most part...however the wireless isn't showing up
[15:46] <nyu> so i have a dual monitor set up with twinveiw.  and the toolbars keep switching sides, is there anyway to lock the toolbars to one monitor or stretch them across both?
[15:46] <a_> but when i write something it shows when i hide and show tilda again, something like it doesn't refresh...
[15:46] <durando> hey guys i've lost my install of ubuntu 10.10 i think its hopeless to get it working again, i want to format and start over but oviously dont want to loose data, i am on a live cd right now and can see my home directory but it said i didn't own the folder so i had to do chown now when i go in it tells me that its been unmounted for my protection how can i get that home directory back
[15:47] <a_> durando: try to run your install in recovery mode
[15:48] <durando> a i did a reinstall but it still had same error
[15:48] <rigved> durando: was it encrypted?
[15:48] <durando> yes rigved its encrypted
[15:48] <a_> use recovery mode
[15:48] <rigved> durando: have you decrypted it first?
[15:48] <durando> a_: not to sound dumb how do i get into recovery mode
[15:48] <durando> rigved: how?
[15:48] <yeats> kcorcoran: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1480745
[15:52] <kcorcoran> yeats:  okay, things appear to be as they should...why did you determine it wasn't a video issue?  the display was fine until i went to dual monitors.  trying to follow the logic?  and, should install the vendor supplied (newer) driver?  or is that not a best practice?
[15:52] <rigved> durando: ecryptfs-mount-private
[15:52] <rigved> durando: use that ^^
[15:53] <man> wats d cmmd for downlading kplayer?????????
[15:54] <durando> tried that rigved, got this ubuntu@ubuntu:/media/316bda87-1201-4abe-a448-c867df1e71b1/home/durando$ ecryptfs-mount-private
[15:54] <durando> ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly
[15:54] <KM0201> man: sudo apt-get install kplayer ?
[15:54] <KM0201> man: or just use the gui, and use synaptic... if your new, you might find that easier than trying to use terminal commands
[15:55] <jchase520> u can download it from the software gui too
[15:55] <sivakumar> phanindraramesh, hai
[15:56] <randy_> there is problem,I use a HD soud card ,but the front audio output only support ac97(but plus in mainboard support both them),in windows ,driver can't set the front aduio output in AC97,but how to do it inLinux,now I'm using back audio output
[15:57] <yeats> kcorcoran: if you have video working, then it's not the video card that's the problem
[15:57] <man> thnkss km0201
[15:57] <man> got it
[15:57] <yeats> kcorcoran: video card problems are usually things like flickering, resolution issues, screen goes black, etc.
[15:57] <KM0201> man: no prob, but you're making it harder on yourself if your'e new, and you strictly rely on terminal.. learn the OS first.
[15:58] <man> my blutooth is nt workig??????
[15:58] <rigved> durando: try this - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Recovering%20Your%20Data%20Manually
[15:58] <man> hav insttaled it
[15:59] <ben__> Can you see my ip on this thing?
[15:59] <man> :km0201: which os???

[16:00] <UbuntuLily> I have XP running in a VirtualBox session.  Is there a way to mount a partition of EXT4 install as a DRIVE (Not a network drive) in VirtualBox
[16:00] <owlman> hello
[16:00] <rigved> durando: actually this is more appropriate - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Live%20CD%20method%20of%20opening%20a%20encrypted%20home%20directory
[16:00] <ZykoticK9> ben__, the whois show<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[16:00] <ben__> thats not safe lol
[16:00] <ikonia> UbuntuLily: pardon ?
[16:00] <KM0201> UbuntuLily: i don't think so... but there might be
[16:00] <man> ya ubuntu
[16:01] <KM0201> man: either go to Applications/Ubuntu Software Center   or go to System/Admin/Synaptic Package manager, and use the GUI to search for packages you want... it'll be a lot easier while you're learning...
[16:02] <yeats> kcorcoran: it's also better in general to stick with Ubuntu-supplied software, at least until you learn enough to start customizing your system yourself - installing kernel modules (drivers) is not really a newbie's task ;-)
[16:03] <man> i know dat
[16:03] <KM0201> man: then why were you stressing over the terminal command?
[16:04] <kcorcoran> yeats:  that makes sense, and i am not knowledgeable enough yet....so this will work for now.  really liingthis ability to tweak the panel
[16:04] <KM0201> kcorcoran: beauty of it is, it's not limited to the panel.. you can tweak anything, the only limit is really your abilities.
[16:05] <kcorcoran> pretty limited right now...lol
[16:05] <KM0201> kcorcoran: lol.. well, nobody learns to swim by joining the coast guard
[16:07] <man> i wasnt

[16:09] <agentgasmask> Hi guys. I'm looking for a way to check my gmail account in the background while not having to hard code my password in to a script. Any sugestions? I'm using this link so far: http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/3380/check-your-unread-gmail-from-the-command-line
[16:10] <KM0201> i know they are easy enough to add... but does anyone know why Ubuntu removed the icons from the Places/System menu?... it looks kinda ridiculous.
[16:10] <erUSUL> !info gnubiff
[16:10] <agentgasmask> That is, check ho many messages there are new.
[16:10] <zamba> how do i mirror a site with wget?
[16:11] <zamba> it's basically just a set of directory listings
[16:11] <hugh_> How can I run a file from a read only location that isn't marked as executable?
[16:11] <zamba> wget --mirror only gets me the html files
[16:11] <man> join #qt
[16:11] <KM0201> hugh_: is it on a windows partition?
[16:11] <hugh_> It's a mounted .iso
[16:11] <agentgasmask> hugh_: I don't think you can. else, what is the point of the executable bit?
[16:11] <hugh_> I'm trying to run a .exe with wine
[16:12] <kcorcoran> current, every time i want to go to a session window i have to click thru a few screens on the gui.  is there a way to add the session window to my panel?
[16:12] <KM0201> hugh_: pretty sure its    sudo chmod +x /path/to/iso
[16:12] <bezao> can i share the hole ubuntu folders on network, using a login/user on my ubuntu?
[16:12] <hugh_> KM0201: Its read only
[16:13] <KM0201> hugh_: you shouldn't need to write to it, you just need it to be executable, that should do it.
[16:13] <pksadiq> hugh_: if it's just an linux executable, you can try sh /path/to/file
[16:13] <hugh_> KM0201: chmod: changing permissions of `Installer.exe': Read-only file system
[16:14] <intick> hi all could you tel how can i make a shortcut to lunch a command (which i usually start by typing it in the gnome-terminal) ?
[16:14] <intick> tried : gnome-terminal /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l puredb:/etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb -C 4 -O stats:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -A -s -I 3 -p 51000:51367 -Z -U 132:002 -u 100 -m 4 -8 UTF-8 -t 64 -W -c 50 -k 98 -w -H -Y 0 -B
[16:14] <intick> does not work :(
[16:15] <kcorcoran> got it
[16:15] <hugh_> how could I disable the executable bit thing then?
[16:15] <Bondv6> intick, what happens?
[16:15] <Bondv6> hugh_, chmod -x <file>
[16:16] <sacarlson> intick: did you try right click on the wallpaper of your gnome screen?
[16:16] <bezao> can i share the hole ubuntu folders on network, using a login/user on my ubuntu?
[16:16] <erUSUL> intick: gnome-terminal -e ' .......... everything here ... '
[16:16] <eman2> how can i run a script at startup regardless of the runlevel besides symlinking to each /etc/rc?.d folder?
[16:16] <psycho> hey
[16:16] <hugh_> I get "chmod: changing permissions of `Installer.exe': Read-only file system"
[16:16] <familia> que pasa
[16:16] <erUSUL> eman2: /etc/rc.local
[16:16] <familia> asdf
[16:16] <erUSUL> !es | familia
[16:17] <psycho> im trying to launch steam from another user account and I'm having problems
[16:17] <familia> jaijsijisj
[16:17] <eman2> erUSUL: is that similar to the /etc/rc.d/ that used to be in previous versions of ubuntu?
[16:17] <Bondv6> eman2, create a upstarte-service for it in /etc/init/
[16:17] <pksadiq> hugh_: what does wine something.exe        gives you?
[16:17] <Bondv6> eman2, if you just want to add the symlinks, you can use the update-rc.d program
[16:17] <erUSUL> eman2: no, it's been allway there and it is run in every runlevel
[16:17] <Bondv6> eman2, ie: update-rc.d service defaults
[16:18] <hugh_> pksadiq: a warning about not being marked as executable
[16:18] <eman2> there use to be an /etc/rc.d/ that accomplished the same thing. just wondered why it isn't there. thanks for the help guys
[16:18] <erUSUL> hugh_: wine /path/to/instaler.exe
[16:18] <psycho> can someone help me get steam to launch in another user account?
[16:19] <psycho> i can launch it just fine from the admin account
[16:19] <barfster> When I do fast user switching, the internet connection drops.
[16:19] <KM0201> hugh_: it's probably pointless, but have you tried right clicking the iso properties/permissions and on the permission tab, changing it to whatever you want, and click "Mark as executable"
[16:19] <hugh_> KM0201: yup
[16:19] <barfster> Where is the box to check to allow more users to use the same internett connection?
[16:19] <_dreamy> KM0201: hi r u there ?
[16:19] <KM0201> _dreamy: as "here" as i can be
[16:19] <hugh_> erUSUL: its just hanging

[16:20] <KM0201> no
[16:20] <erUSUL> hugh_: you are sure the program is compatible with wine?
[16:20] <hugh_> oooooh! Yes!
[16:20] <erUSUL> !appdb | hugh_
[16:20] <hugh_> it just launched
[16:20] <Bondv6> barfster, I switched to wicd, which basicly brings the network up properly when booting, rather than upon login
[16:20] <KM0201> _dreamy: well, i guess it depends on how you set it up.
[16:20] <sacarlson> psycho: I think if you sudo su user; application
[16:20] <KM0201> erUSUL: are you looking for mail-notification?

[16:22] <intick> erUSUL: does not work ..
[16:22] <coolpro> Hello, is there any software for ubuntu to create websites?
[16:22] <erUSUL> intick: better put that long command line in a shell script and launch that
[16:22] <erUSUL> !html | coolpro
[16:22] <intick> erUSUL: gnome-terminal -e '/usr/sbin/pure-ftpd -l puredb:/etc/pure-ftpd/pureftpd.pdb -C 4 -O stats:/var/log/pure-ftpd/transfer.log -A -s -I 3 -p 51000:51367 -Z -U 132:002 -u 100 -m 4 -8 UTF-8 -t 64 -W -c 50 -k 98 -w -H -Y 0 -B'
[16:22] <linos> not sure if this is the correct channel to ask, but I'll ask.  I have firefox v3.5.3 on ubuntu Karmic Koala.  everytime I try to run video using Adobe Flash player, it will play for a few seconds, then pause and won't continue....
[16:22] <AbhiJit> coolpro, quanta plus
[16:22] <intick> erUSUL: ok i'll try
[16:22] <barfster> Bondv6: How can I switch to wicd?
[16:22] <psycho> sacarlson i don't know the users password
[16:23] <vipul> AbhiJit,  hellow
[16:23] <vipul> i got a problem
[16:23] <vipul> hy whats wrong with my password i have change my ubuntu  user account password when i try with new one it's not working when i try with old password it's work ?
[16:23] <KM0201> linos: what version of flash are you using?
[16:23] <hugh_> so, opening it from nautilus gave a warning about it not being marked as executable and changing the permission gave a warning about it being read only, so if wine can bypass the executable bit if you open it via the command line then what is the point of the executable bit?
[16:23] <sacarlson> psycho: you don't need the users password you need the sudo password
[16:23] <AbhiJit> vipul, hi
[16:23] <abhiSri> pandu , check the default application associated with directory
[16:23] <coolpro> which is the best WYSIWYG editor?
[16:23] <Bondv6> barfster, you can install it from the software-center. You can switch back to the gnome network manager again by installing it again later
[16:23] <linos> KM0201, 10.1R102
[16:23] <barfster> Bondv6: apt-get install wicd?
[16:23] <psycho> sacarlson its asking for the users password
[16:23] <paandu> abhiSri: how to check it ?
[16:24] <psycho> what is the sudo password
[16:24] <Bondv6> barfster, yeah - that is how I did it
[16:24] <sacarlson> psycho: no it's asking for the sudo password,  are you the sudo admin?
[16:24] <vipul> AbhiJit,  i have change my user password in root user but now when i am trying to access root with that new password it's not working  it's working with the old password
[16:24] <erUSUL> hugh_: when you do " wine /path/to/file " what you are executiong is wine not /path/to/file and wine has +x « ls -l $(type -P wine) »
[16:24] <barfster> Bondv6: Is that it? Will I not have to do anything to turn off the existing one? Or to configure wicd?
[16:24] <abhiSri> paandu,   check this file /usr/share/gnome/applications/defaults.list for "directory".I think there are two line having this
[16:24] <psycho> sacarlson yeah,i installed ubuntu. i put in my password and it said try again
[16:24]  * erUSUL ¬.¬
[16:24] <KM0201> linos: running adblock? i know it wreaks havoc w/ some YT videos
[16:25] <psycho> sacarlson  its saying sudo password for psycho
[16:25] <Bondv6> barfster, it has a tray-icon like network manager does. I don't rember if I had to uninstall network-manager or not
[16:25] <sacarlson> psycho: try sudo -i: sudo su user
[16:25] <linos> KM0201, how can I check if I am running adblock?  I don't believe I am
[16:25] <vipul> Can any one help me PLz
[16:25] <psycho> sacarlson  what does that do?
[16:26] <barfster> For Safari on Mac there is YouTube5 plug-in to force HTML5 w/x264, is there a similar plug-in for FF on Linux?
[16:26] <sacarlson> psycho:  try just sudo -i,  that should prove you have sudo for your account
[16:26] <KM0201> linos: you'd know if you were.. there'd be a little "stop sign"... in the upper right
[16:26] <KM0201> linos: its an extension
[16:26] <linos> KM0201, then I am not running adblock
[16:26] <sacarlson> psycho: sudo -i will put you at the # root
[16:26] <linos> KM0201, where and how can I install it.  Do I need it?
[16:26] <bryan0685> Is it fair for me to ask if anyone knows how to get my microphone to work on skype and direct uploads on youtube?
[16:27] <Bondv6> barfster, there is a plugin that does it for Chrome
[16:27] <sacarlson> psycho: so if you can sudo -i; su user
[16:27] <KM0201> linos: adblock is fine if you want it... but i was more curious if it was causing your problem(it likely isn't)...
[16:27] <erUSUL> vipul: if you can still use the old password to login then something went wrong and the password has not changed
[16:27] <psycho> its asking for this users password,which i dont know and this user account is not an admin
[16:27] <psycho> i am the admin
[16:28] <sacarlson> psycho:  sudo -i,  asks for the users password?
[16:28] <paandu> abhiSri: I got that list what to check in there ?
[16:28] <vipul> yes erUSUL  but i have changed my password and it's you password has been successfuly changed
[16:28] <psycho> yeah it says [sudo] password for psycho:
[16:28] <vipul> yes erUSUL  but i have changed my password and it's says " you password has been successfuly changed
[16:28] <sacarlson> psycho  so you don't know the password for sudo?
[16:28] <erUSUL> vipul: how did you canged your password
[16:29] <vipul> erUSUL,  I have changed my password with two ways
[16:29] <psycho> sacarlson wouldnt be the password for my user account? the admin account?
[16:29] <psycho> or do i have to set it
[16:29] <shane4ubuntu> where do I put something I want started at boot?  it is a script that needs to be run as root.
[16:29] <vipul> 1.st i used to login in root by sudo -s and the old password
[16:29] <vipul> after root i used this command passwd
[16:29] <paandu> Hi all i am currently using Ubuntu 10.10 , and i am facing this problem since today , whenever i go to places->home folder and try to open it , its opening with media player by default ! this is same with documents , downloads , and other folders under places tab ! Please help me i am newbie  and its not in any forum and google too !!
[16:29] <sacarlson> psycho: you must be an admin user to use sudo,  I asume you don't have sudo priv
[16:30] <vipul> then type a new password
[16:30] <Bondv6> shane4ubuntu, the best way is using upstart, by creating a config for it in /etc/init/
[16:30] <psycho> sacarlson I am the admin,i installed ubuntu!
[16:30] <sacarlson> psycho: so why can't you enter root mode with sudo -i ?
[16:30] <vipul> but when i try sign off and again try to root user the old password was working not new
[16:30] <erUSUL> vipul: that soes not change *your* password it sets root's password ....
[16:30] <vipul> then i used sudo passwd
[16:30] <rpenn> anyone mind answering a quick question about creating a ubuntu livecd on a usb stick?
[16:30] <shane4ubuntu> Bondv6: it is just to start up dund on boot, can I dump a script there in /etc/init/  ?
[16:30] <erUSUL> does*
[16:31] <vipul> and again i changed a new password
[16:31] <erUSUL> vipul: you just use « passwd » in a terminal with no sudo
[16:31] <vipul> and again i changed a old password*
[16:31] <erUSUL> vipul: you did it wrong
[16:31] <erUSUL> !rootpass
[16:31] <psycho> sacarlson  i dont understand it man,im the one who installed ubuntu
[16:31] <KM0201> sudo passwd strikes again..lol
[16:31] <erUSUL> !rootpassword
[16:31] <sacarlson> psycho: can't you get the # prompt?
[16:32] <psycho> sacarlson  ?
[16:32] <herghost> !cli
[16:32] <Bondv6> shane4ubuntu, no, you have to make a service configuration for it there. you'll need just a few lines of text in it
[16:32] <vipul> ok
[16:32] <vipul> let me check again
[16:32] <paandu> is it a problem with totem ?
[16:32] <sacarlson> psycho: just because you installed it doesn't mean that you are loged into a sudo account
[16:32] <psycho> sacarlson  i am the admin
[16:32] <DangerCode> fuck you
[16:32] <psycho> sacarlson  do i have to set the sudo pass or something?
[16:33] <shane4ubuntu> Bondv6: ok, that looks a little complex, I was looking at a few of the conf files to get an idea, here is the one liner I want run upon boot:  sudo /usr/bin/dund --listen --persist --msdun call dun --nodetach
[16:33] <DangerCode> 我打错了
[16:33] <maco> DangerCode: watch your language and be nice
[16:33] <shane4ubuntu> Bondv6: without the sudo of course.
[16:33] <maco> DangerCode: and use english, not chinese
[16:33] <vipul> yes got it now thank erUSUL
[16:33] <shane4ubuntu> !cn | DangerCode
[16:33] <KM0201> paandu: thats extremely unusual....
[16:33] <sacarlson> psycho: no I think the password is the same as the user that uses it but that user must be in the /etc/sudoers list
[16:33] <Bondv6> shane4ubuntu, it is actually very easy. You pass the command to the line that starts with "exec", and besides that, you tell it when you want it to start and stop
[16:34] <elijah> Is it normal to have audio play through my lineout on my laptop and my internal laptop speakers after I bring my laptop out of sleep, I really like it for listening to music and would like to be able to enable this without having to go into sleep and out of sleep.
[16:34] <vipul> !in
[16:34] <paandu> KM0201: I know , is that a bug ?
[16:34] <Bondv6> shane4ubuntu, like "stop on shutdown"
[16:34] <KM0201> paandu: no
[16:34] <sacarlson> psycho: do you have it setup to auto login or something and forgot the password?
[16:34] <vipul> !in |DangerCode
[16:34] <intick> erUSUL: sry it does not seem working .. i've put my command  in a file.sh chmod 0755 then chmod +x  but cant see any FTP process runing (ps | grep ftp)
[16:34] <KM0201> paandu: do this... go to places, select your home folder, and drag/drop it to your desktop
[16:35] <KM0201> paandu: when it creates the link on your desktop... right click the link, properties, and on the "basic"tab, what does it say for "Link Target"
[16:35] <intick> erUSUL: if i start my command in a terminal it works perfectly
[16:35] <psycho> sacarlson no,i am trying to get steam to run on this account
[16:35] <sacarlson> psycho: haven't you ever had to install software with like synaptic?
[16:35] <erUSUL> intick: should work the same either way ...
[16:35] <shane4ubuntu> Bondv6: ahh, ok, I see, start on filesystem stop on runlevel [!2345] is the ssh conf file  ending with exec /usr/sbin/sshd  I see, the rest is special filler and checks.
[16:35] <Bondv6> shane4ubuntu, make sure you look in /etc/init not /etc/init.d
[16:35] <psycho> sacarlson synaptic?
[16:35] <shane4ubuntu> Bondv6: right, I'm with you there.
[16:35] <sacarlson> psycho: how do you install software?
[16:35] <paandu> KM0201:  I have problem with totem: it opened Places menu (Documents, Music, Videos ...)... i just cant click or else it will open in media player
[16:35] <intick> erUSUL: i dont have to add anything befor my command line in the sh file ?
[16:35] <psycho> with my account password
[16:36] <Bondv6> shane4ubuntu, yeah, that looks good. and then just stick your "exec yourcommand" line in there, and it will start on boot, and you can administrate it with "service" command
[16:36] <sacarlson> psycho: are you loged into that account?
[16:36] <psycho> but my account password,which is the admin account isnt working with sudo
[16:36] <erUSUL> intick: no the file shoulb be two lines 1) #!/bin/sh 2) your command here .-....
[16:36] <psycho> no
[16:36] <Bondv6> shane4ubuntu, "service yourservie status" etc
[16:36] <rpenn> If I create a bootable ubuntu livecd on an 8GB USB stick, can I still use the leftover ~6GB for storing data? Or would it be wiser to go with a 2GB stick if the remaining 6GB would always be unusable?
[16:36] <psycho> i told you i am trying to get steam running on this users account
[16:36] <kcorcoran> trying to unzip b2z file and direct output to another location - bunzip2 fliename.b2z -C ~/fgfs - fail.   how do i redirect?
[16:36] <B45h_V|> hm... Am I still logged in?
[16:36] <abhiSri> paandu, Is your problem got resolved?
[16:36] <AbhiJit> rpenn, yes
[16:36] <shane4ubuntu> Bondv6:thanks!  Ubuntu has changed since I first dove in!
[16:37] <pksadiq> paandu: do you mean that when you try to open any folder , totem is opened?
[16:37] <B45h_V|> I fell asleep hours ago lol
[16:37] <paandu> abhiSri: No
[16:37] <psycho> it will run on the admin account, but not the other users account
[16:37] <sacarlson> psycho:  well theres your problem you must login to your sudo account before you perform sudo functions
[16:37] <Montreal1> hi, running VLC  on Ubuntu...how can i setup via terminal commands for ffmpeg?
[16:37] <shane4ubuntu> Bondv6: specially these last few years, and I haven't kept up with the new way of doing things.
[16:37] <rpenn> AbhiJit: yes to the still being able to store data, or yes to the getting a 2GB stick instead? :)
[16:37] <abhiSri> paandu, had you checked that file ?
[16:37] <psycho> well when i do that how do i allow this user to run steam?
[16:37] <pfein> #python
[16:37] <AbhiJit> :s
[16:37] <Bondv6> shane4ubuntu, yeah, that upstart-stuff I've been waiting a long time for. Only thing I'm missing is the ability to start programs as different users
[16:37] <KM0201> paandu: can you click on the system and applications menu?
[16:37] <paandu> abhiSri: yes  i dont know what to change in there
[16:37] <rpenn> lol
[16:38] <erUSUL> kcorcoran: -c is a tar option. bzip2 does not have such option
[16:38] <erUSUL> kcorcoran: check bzip2 man page again
[16:38] <paandu> KM0201:  yes i can click it
[16:38] <shane4ubuntu> Bondv6: they are good changes, I just haven't kept up, hmm, Networking.conf is a very simple example to follow.
[16:38] <erUSUL> kcorcoran: -C with capital C i meant
[16:38] <sacarlson> prycho correct, as I tried to tell you before only a sudo user can do sudo , that mean you must be loged in as a sudo user not this new none sudo user
[16:38] <KM0201> paandu: ok, i thought you said when you clcik the places menu, it opens totem
[16:38] <Bondv6> shane4ubuntu, yeah :) it's improving all the time, hard to follow some times :)
[16:38] <pksadiq> AbhiJit: hi, I didn't know that there had been a word/world war between Emacs and VI, and still continueing
[16:38] <rpenn> i'll just take that as a yes, I can still store data on the other 6GB :)
[16:38] <psycho> ok i will be back
[16:38] <sivakumar> how can i access my windows desktop  files in ubuntu
[16:39] <erUSUL> kcorcoran: but just using shell rediect is enough « bunzip2 file.bz2 > /path/to/nameuncompressedfile »
[16:39] <paandu> KM0201: yes Places menu (Documents, Music, Videos ...). is opening with media player
[16:40] <pksadiq> paandu: do you have any folder in Desktop?
[16:40] <AbhiJit> what?
[16:40] <AbhiJit> pksadiq, ammm? xcusme?
[16:40] <abhiSri> paandu, do one thing , paste 2 lines from that file , having " inode/directory" and "x-directory/normal" as start
[16:40] <paandu> pksadiq: no i did a fresh install yesterday
[16:40] <chaospsychex> sacarlson its psycho
[16:40] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: ok
[16:41] <chaospsychex> sacarlson  i did sudo -i and i am at root
[16:41] <pksadiq> paandu: create a folder in desktop, right click it , select "Open with other application"> and select "open folder", check the box remember
[16:41] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: maybe I don't understand what you want,  you wanted to run a program as a different user  so no just su user
[16:41] <garri> i hope there is someone here that can help me... i dont know why but my laptop cant locate my wirelss internet
[16:42] <pikachu> hello all
[16:42] <garri> ...or any wireless internet at all and i will not get online even thou i put the cable from the router
[16:42] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: that will put you in the user account to run the program in the user account the exit to go back to you root accout or exit again to go back to your sudo user account
[16:42] <shane4ubuntu> Bondv6: I assume if I run sudo service myservice start and get no errors that it is made correctly?
[16:43] <paandu> abhiSri: inode/directory:nautilus-folder-handler.desktop and x-directory/normal:nautilus-folder-handler.desktop
[16:43] <pksadiq> paandu: and after that try Opening Home or other folders, I hope this works
[16:43] <KM0201> garri: so it's not recognizing when you plug your ethernet cable in from the router either?
[16:43] <garri> no,
[16:44] <KM0201> ugh.. ethernet is usually recognized out of the box.
[16:44] <pikachu> anyone here a ppp expert? Got this strange issue with my wcdma connection when masquerading with iptables I get an lcp ConfRreq frame from the provider that causes the ppp-down script to be called. If i go through squid or the machine with the ppp connections there is no problem
[16:44] <KM0201> garri: what kind of wireless device is in that machine?
[16:44] <dh003i> hi all, I have a problem...I tried installing windows xp on /dev/sda1 and it seems like I lost my Linux partitions (/dev/sda2 = /boot, /dev/sda3 = /, /dev/sda5 = /tmp, /dev/sda6 = /var, /dev/sda7 = /home) ... how can I get them back? Gparted says that my entire HD is now one "unallocated" partition/file system and gives me a warning about "overlapping partitions"
[16:44] <garri> wicd network manager
[16:44] <pksadiq> AbhiJit: search for Emacs vs vi        in google
[16:44] <pikachu> the ppp connection can be up for hours without incident until a forwarded packet is sent through it
[16:45] <paandu> pksadiq: Thanks a lot bro it  worked :)
[16:45] <KM0201> garri: thats not a wireless device, thats a network manager... why did you uninstall the default network manager?
[16:45] <AbhiJit> pksadiq, why?
[16:45] <garri> i dont know then
[16:45] <garri> where can i see that
[16:45] <KM0201> garri: are you sitting beside the machine?.. or do you need to boot it.
[16:45] <intick> erUSUL: well the cmmand i want to start need to be root, may this be a problem ?
[16:46] <abhiSri> pksadiq, i need to ask , why it was so?That paandu 's problem?
[16:46] <garri> yes i am
[16:46] <pikachu> i tried setting the mtu and mru setting lower but no joy
[16:46] <garri> its on my lap
[16:46] <AbhiJit> pksadiq, i m not getting you
[16:46] <KM0201> garri: open a terminal and type "lspci" no quotes (lowercase L) hit enter... and look through the output and find your wireless device
[16:46] <erUSUL> intick: do « sudo script.sh »
[16:47] <txdv> lspci | grep ireless
[16:47] <KM0201> txdv: it really doesn't matter, they show the same thing
[16:47] <pksadiq> abhiSri: paandu's problem was just because the folder was actually configured to be opend with totem,
[16:47] <paandu> abhiSri: Actuall i made movie player my default by mistake as the remember check mark comes in default , and i forgot it after clicking so everything was opening with media player
[16:47] <KM0201> pksadiq: yeah...
[16:47] <dh003i> anyone have any suggestions on my partition problems?
[16:48] <KM0201> dh003i: why on earth did you create that many partitions was my first thought... but i didn't figure that was useful.
[16:48] <abhiSri> pksadiq, paandu ok but in that default file its was for nautilus.For what that file is?
[16:48] <paandu> abhiSri:  Sorry i switched to ubuntu from windows where folders didnt open with media players anyway :D
[16:48] <bezao> how do i add permisson do read/write to all users on a folder?
[16:48] <garri> PCI Intel Corparation 8201I (ICH Family)   ??
[16:48] <pksadiq> dh003i: does sudo cfdisk shows your partitions?
[16:48] <KM0201> garri: thats sound.

[16:48] <erUSUL> bezao: which folder?
[16:49] <dh003i> pksadiq: yea, sudo cfdisk does show the partitions
[16:49] <KM0201> garri: it will specifically identify itself as a wireless device
[16:49] <erUSUL> elijah: "flush" ?
[16:49] <intick> erUSUL: same :( ..
[16:49] <sivakumar> AbhiJit, are u there

[16:49] <txdv> dh003i: you just need to install grub
[16:49] <paandu> abhiSri: Actually everything was fine there only thing got changed by mistake was totem became the default on the place of file browser
[16:49] <sacarlson> dh003i: sounds like you installed windows xp in the wrong order and it erased you linux partitions
[16:49] <intick> erUSUL: http://pastebin.com/bsV9QdUw
[16:49] <AbhiJit> yess sivakumar
[16:49] <erUSUL> intick: :/ haz the sudo in the script.... you do not get any error when you run the script?

[16:50] <elijah> erUSUL: I want to clear some disk space, when I use apt-get it saves the files, installs them and then the original package file just sits there, taking up space
[16:50] <bezao> erUSUL /mnt/shared
[16:50]  * KM0201 thinks Totem is a pretty good media player, but not a good file browser
[16:50] <txdv> there is no wrong order
[16:50] <sacarlson> dh003i: you should install windows first then install linux or ubuntu in this case
[16:50] <txdv> if the partiions are there, you just need to reinstall grub2
[16:50] <erUSUL> elijah: sudo apt-get clean
[16:50] <elijah> erUSUL: thx
[16:50] <erUSUL> intick: drop the gnome-terminal part ( including the -e ' ' )

[16:51] <delcaos> join #wowpedia
[16:51] <erUSUL> intick: then when the script works you can do « gnome-terminal -e 'script.sh' » in the launcher icon

[16:54] <sam16> how to clean junks in ubuntu 10.10? plz help
[16:54] <dnivra> sam16, "junks"?
[16:54] <dh003i> oh jesus, for some reason, cfdisk is saying the partitions are ext3 ?? they were all ext4
[16:54] <sam16> dnivra: yes unwanted files
[16:54] <sacarlson> dh003i: oh there not gone there still there,  why did you say there were set to unused?   so you just need to reinstall grub2 then
[16:55] <pksadiq> dh003i: try sudo fsck     , unmount all drives before proceeding
[16:55] <sacarlson> dh003i: install the mbr
[16:55] <dh003i> pksadiq: sudo fsck on /dev/sda ?
[16:56] <pksadiq> dh003i: hope so
[16:56] <bezao> erUSUL it's a vbox shared folder how do i give permission ?
[16:56] <dnivra> sam16, apt-get clean removes packages cached. you could also try "computer-janitor-gtk" for more.
[16:56] <sacarlson> pksadiq: I asume he's now running live cd boot dh003i?
[16:56] <dh003i> pksadiq:  err, sudo fsck /dev/sda says "fsck.ext2: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda     Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?"
[16:56] <Juzzy> Anyone know of a program/script that can automatically/programmatically rip dvd/br to divx/xvid/mkv?
[16:57] <dh003i> yea, I'm on LiveCD
[16:57] <dh003i> 10.10 LiveCD
[16:57] <dh003i> (and the screen is all green and staticky for some reason...2560x1600 NEC, for some reason a lot ofthe time, he LiveCD boots to a bad display)
[16:58] <sacarlson> dh003i: so I think you can try sudo grub-install /dev/sda
[16:58] <dh003i> what's the command to show mounted partitions?
[16:58] <Diverdude> How do i enable more screensavers in ubuntu 10.10 than the default ones?
[16:58] <pksadiq> dh003i: you cannot see your drive in gparted because there is a problem with the partition table
[16:58] <pksadiq> dh003i: df
[16:59] <whateverDever> hi
[16:59] <dh003i> ok, so none of the /dev/sda#'s are mounted, why does fsck /dev/sda say there's a mounted partition?
[16:59] <whateverDever> can anyone recommend a good bandwidth speed cli tool
[16:59] <sacarlson> pksadiq: but is shows in fdisk -l,  so I don't know what the problem is with gparted dh003i
[16:59] <Guest31059> Hi there
[16:59] <whateverDever> wanna test speed of my vps
[16:59] <Guest31059> Could pls anybody tell me, how to move files to /var/www in Ubuntu Desktop, when logged in as normal user?!
[16:59] <sacarlson> pksadiq: maybe that just means there not mounted?
[17:00] <FishFace> whateverDever: I keep Netspeed on my toolbar.
[17:00] <pksadiq> dh003i: try sudo umount /media/*
[17:00] <dh003i> another strange thing is that the partition I was trying to intall winxp on seems to have disappeared?
[17:01] <chaospsychex> sacarlson it wont let me create a shortcut on the users desktop from the admin account
[17:01] <Guest31059> I added my desktop user to group root and configured it to a administration account, why can't I still move files to /var/www ???
[17:01] <dh003i> pksadiq: it says /media/* not found
[17:01] <Juzzy> Anyone know of a program/script that can automatically/programmatically rip dvd/br to divx/xvid/mkv?
[17:01] <abhiSri> Diverdude, http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/faq.html , check this out.
[17:01] <sacarlson> dh003i: oh I think for fsck you need to give it the partition to test like fsck /dev/sda1
[17:01] <chaospsychex> how do i put a shortcut to an .exe onto a users desktop from the admin account
[17:02] <pksadiq> dh003i: windows has an MBR style that kills the partition table that is created with linux
[17:02] <dh003i> ahhh
[17:02] <Gajzha> hello everyone! I have a problem and I hope you can help me here.  So I decided to reinstall from scratch. Then I formatted my Ubuntu partition by using the Window XP...
[17:02] <Gajzha> ...partition tool (ouch). Everything seemed alright until I restarted my system... Grub had disappeared and I couldnt start XP anymore! the message on the screen is "error: no such partition" then "gub rescue>" on a 2nd line. I can still access my XP partiton thru the live CD. How can I repair the boot menu, by using the XP CD?
[17:02] <arpit> i installed ubuntu 10.10 32bit on vaio e series and my touchapd is not working i also tried synaptics dkms with mt support but it doesnt work even
[17:02] <MopperWhite> /weather Xiamen,Fujian,China
[17:02]  * Weather Xiamen: Sunny and Cold,Temperature:5-8C [By NOAA]
[17:02] <chaospsychex> when i try to do it, it says permission denied
[17:02] <jeffreyf> Guest31059: is that UserID still logged in?
[17:02] <arpit> what should i do?
[17:02] <dh003i> oh wait, it still shows the Windows partition in cfdisk...it shows at the beginning as "Unusable                         16384.76"
[17:02] <dnivra> Guest31059, i think you need to become root for that. prefix "sudo" maybe.
[17:03] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: I'm not sure seems it requires to steps to run another a program in another users account from a suders account,  so a shortcut just won't work I guess
[17:03] <Guest31059> wanna perform the move via the GUI, so 'sudo' is useless
[17:03] <pksadiq> dh003i: try sudo e2fsck -yf /dev/sdax
[17:03] <Guest31059> already rebooted
[17:03] <chaospsychex> omfg
[17:03] <coz_> Gajzha,  you installed ubuntu first or windows first
[17:03] <dh003i> pksadiq: the partitions were ext4, is that gonna screw them up?
[17:03] <dnivra> Guest31059, run nautilus as root "gksudo nautilus" and then do it maybe :).
[17:03] <abhiSri> Guest19189, open nautilus with sudo
[17:03] <arpit> hey i have a problem here ,i installed ubuntu 10.10 32bit on vaio e series and my touchapd is not working i also tried synaptics dkms with mt support but it doesnt work even
[17:04] <chaospsychex> do i have to give the user admin priv just to run steam?
 I installed windows first
[17:04] <sacarlson> dh003i: oh and you may not be able to fsck a windows disk I'm not sure so fsck /dev/sda2  might work
[17:04] <sacarlson> dh003i: but all you need to do is install the mbr as I stated before
[17:04] <chaospsychex> why did wine install it into the home folder of the installing user any way
[17:04] <jeffreyf> Guest31059: from ALT-F2 or command...gksudo nautilus...you will be in the file manager as a sudoer....use extreme caution as you can do ANYTHING including accidentally delete stuff
[17:04] <dh003i> sacarlson: ok, i'll give that a try
[17:04] <abhiSri> Guest19189, yes dnivra is right .Just after moving all files you have to change the owner of them to your normal user.
[17:04] <chaospsychex> it should of installed it so all users could run it
[17:04] <chaospsychex> god damn
[17:05] <LunaVorax_> Hello ! What are the different parameters I can put in the grub about the acpi (like acpi=off) to see how they work on my system.
[17:05] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: ya maybe you can setup wine so many user can use it?  I don't use wine
[17:05] <elijah> I just installed wine with package manager, it is version 1.2.1, is this the most current?
[17:05] <yeats> chaospsychex: that's the way wine works - it is per-user
[17:05] <dnivra> LunaVorax_, here's grub2 documentation. check it out; might be what you're looking for. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2.
[17:06] <chaospsychex> yeats i installed steam via playonlinux
, I installed windows first
[17:06] <chaospsychex> yeats in the admin account
[17:06] <chaospsychex> yeats when i went into the users account and opened playonlinux,steam didnt appear on the install list..????
[17:06] <sacarlson> yeats: so what does he need to do just copy the exe file to each users home account so they can run it?
[17:06] <dnivra> LunaVorax_, well you can't really call it documentation. it's got a lot on grub2 anyway :).
[17:07] <chaospsychex> sacarlson it won't let me copy the exe
[17:07] <elijah> It says wine 1.2 is out but how do I get that through package manager?
[17:07] <LunaVorax_> thanks dnivra but it seems to be what I'm looking for :(
[17:07] <coz_> Gajzha,  mm  and then you installed ubuntu again?
[17:07] <chaospsychex> i did sudo -i and it still wont let me
[17:07] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: well you can sudo cp thefile
[17:07] <chaospsychex> sudo cp the file?
[17:07] <neohunter111> HI
[17:08] <arpit> hey i have a problem here ,i installed ubuntu 10.10 32bit on vaio e series and my touchapd is not working i also tried synaptics dkms with mt support but it doesnt work even,what should i do ??any help will be appreciated :)
[17:08] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: sudo user can copy a file to any place and change the owner and group of any file
[17:08] <neohunter111> I have a problem with my mouse, is a microsoft wireless mouse, when i press button6 or buttton 7 ubuntu recives a lot of press and realease events!!
[17:08] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: I'm clueless how wine works with each user
, I installed windows first, installed Ubuntu 10.04 after that.
[17:08] <sprung> Hi. I need Exchange appointment reminders and meeting invitations.
[17:08] <elijah> There are too many packages in the repo, which Wine do I download?
[17:09] <sprung> Most importantly meeting invitations.
[17:09] <chaospsychex> sacarlson i use the "sudo -i" command to go su right?
[17:09] <sprung> Any ideas?
[17:09] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: that's one way of doing it
[17:09] <Whitie_> lol wow
[17:09] <chaospsychex> sacarlson i  did that,still couldn't copy the file
[17:10] <chaospsychex> i tell you what guys,linux is like goddamn fort knox
[17:10] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: what error do you see now with the # prompt?
[17:10] <sprung> I am using Evolution mail client, got the global address book working via LDAP and am using IMAP as my connector, but i need the Exchange appointment reminders and meeting invitations working. this is business critical please help me out
[17:10] <chaospsychex> spend all day trying to let a user run a program from their account
,then formatted the Ubuntu partition with XP partition tool (and I think a smaller one, is it the swap?) and now im stuck with the error message
[17:10] <chaospsychex> sacarlson i have to copy the file in the terminal?
[17:10] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: ya that's why it has no virus
[17:11] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: if the terminal is where you are sudo
[17:11] <chaospsychex> sacarlson do i have to copy the file using terminal commands?
[17:11] <sprung> If i don't get the Exchange meeting invitations I quite literally can't leave Windows
[17:11] <sprung> i need the meeting invitations. everything else is all figured out
[17:11] <yeats> chaospsychex: why didn't you install the program as the user who will be running it?  just curious
[17:11] <coz_> Gajzha,  welll not necessary to format the drive ,,,when in insert and boot from the live cd or minmal install cd  it will walk you through the partiioning and actuallly  default partitioning works well enough
[17:11] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: I don't even know if you need to copy the file at all,  I don't know how wine works
[17:11] <neohunter111> i have a problem with my mouse, when i press the button6 and button7 one time, ubuntu receives a lot of press event, any ideas?
[17:12] <lukus> hi - i have a situation where I'd like to be able to create a lot of symbolic links to commonly used directories, and the be able to use them by cd <symboliclinkname> ... I thought i'd be able to add the directory with the links into my path, but this doesn't seem to work .. does anyone know how this might be possible?
[17:12] <chaospsychex> yeats because the program doesn't even show up as an available install in the users account
[17:12] <chaospsychex> yeats are you familiar with playonlinux?
[17:12] <elijah> There is wine-1.2-dbg, 1.2-dev and 1.2-gecko (web browser) what does the web browser mean ?  The initial package I downloaded was the wine microsoft compatibility layer, which downloaded 1.2-gecko also (I think) and that is version 1.2.1 and not the current 1.2.2, the reason I am asking all this is because I just installed Picase 3.8 and none of the folder names show. I went to file a compatibility report and it doesn't have my version
[17:12] <yeats> chaospsychex: nope ;-)
[17:13] <DavidJHeinrich1> hi all, I'm dh003i
[17:13] <chaospsychex> yeats  well ****
[17:13] <yeats> chaospsychex: reading about it now...
[17:13] <DavidJHeinrich1> I recovered my MBR, as suggested...now I'm in my Linux OS from my HD
[17:13] <chaospsychex> Joe Blow can't do **** in linux,lololol
, thing is when I use the install menu from Live CD my XP partition doesn't show at all, it's like the installer thinks my whole drive is empty
[17:14] <yeats> chaospsychex: so it's basically a GUI program that acts as a front-end to wine
[17:14] <coz_> Gajzha,  mmm that's odd
[17:14] <chaospsychex> yeats yeah and there is a list of available programs you can install
[17:14] <coz_> Gajzha,   I may not be able to help I have to break here ...I know there are many here with better skills :)
[17:15] <chaospsychex> yeats: when i log into the user account below admin, the list is different and steam isn't even on that list
[17:15] <DavidJHeinrich1> arg, gparted is still saying my entire HD is unallocated
[17:15] <DavidJHeinrich1> and cfdisk says the first 16GB are "unusable"
[17:16] <DavidJHeinrich1> bbs, gotta eat
[17:16] <pksadiq> DavidJHeinrich1: are you dh003i?
[17:16] <ccd> How do I find the terminal on Ubuntu Netbook?
[17:17] <nirazio> How do I reset nautilus to the default configuration?
[17:17] <bencahill> DavidJHeinrich1: /nick dh003i
[17:17] <sacarlson> DavidJHeinrich1: cool so just the grub-install /dev/sda worked?
[17:17] <yeats> chaospsychex: two thoughts... 1) this might be more of an issue for #winehq rather than #ubuntu  2) have you tried just installing directly from steam's site rather than going through playonlinux?
[17:17] <pksadiq> ccd: press ALT + CTRL + T
[17:18] <bencahill> pksadiq: thx for that :)
[17:18] <chaospsychex> yeats: #winehq is idle , let me check on installing from the steam site
[17:18] <ccd> pksadiq: thanks!!
[17:18] <kcorcoran_> i am running "make -j 3" no a flightgear v2.0...its working, however its taking some time...i assume this has to do with my CPU speeds...but would think it would compile faster.  shouldn't a dual core system blow throw this?
[17:18] <pksadiq> bencahill: for what?
[17:18] <bencahill> pksadiq: always good to know new keyboard shortcuts :)
[17:18] <pksadiq> DavidJHeinrich1: http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/repair-a-broken-ext4-superblock-in-ubuntu/            what about this?
[17:19] <chaospsychex> yeats: it's only available for mac & pc
[17:19] <yeats> kcorcoran_: compiling can take a *lot* of processor time - esp. if you're doing other things
[17:19] <yeats> chaospsychex: right - that's what wine is for - try installing the PC version
[17:19] <sacarlson> pksadiq: I'm not getting it if DavidJHeinrich1 is now booted what is his problem?
[17:19] <kcorcoran_> yeats: that makes sense, but even with a dual core system?
[17:20] <yeats> kcorcoran_: depends on what it is ;-)
[17:20] <bencahill> kcorcoran: what processor?
[17:20] <chaospsychex> yeats: how do i go about doing that?
[17:20] <sacarlson> pksadiq: maybe he has two problems?
[17:20] <wrd> kcorcoran_: yes compiling takes time ;) it also depends on the build system how much paralellism it allows
[17:20] <anadon> sorry to interrupt, but what channel is for beginner's development?
[17:20] <pksadiq> bencahill: Preferences > KeyBoard Shortcuts might help you much
[17:20] <pksadiq> sacarlson: two?
[17:20] <bencahill> pksadiq: thanks :)
, no worries, thanks for your time!
[17:20] <kcorcoran_> bencahill: intel Core 2 duo 3.0GHz
[17:21] <bencahill> kcorcoran: no, the model#
[17:21] <sacarlson> pksadiq: seems after the mbr install he can not boot from his hard disk
[17:21] <yeats> chaospsychex: more or less the same way you would on Windows - download the file and install it
[17:21] <anadon> any one know?
[17:21] <kcorcoran_> bencahill:  sorry, not sure how i would be able to to determine that?  can you tell me?
[17:21] <bencahill> kcorcoran: e8400
[17:21] <bencahill> kcorcoran: possibly?
[17:21] <chaospsychex> yeat: ok now what directory do i choose,so others can run it?
[17:21] <wabash> What number do user ids start at?
[17:22] <kcorcoran_> yes!!
[17:22] <sacarlson> pksadiq: if it works at all almost everything would have to work
[17:22] <kcorcoran_> i just saw that on the screen
[17:22] <pksadiq> sacarlson: MBR is meant for windows only, if he has partitioned from windows, else ie's a burden
[17:22] <pksadiq> it's*
[17:22] <kcorcoran_> bencahill: yes!!
[17:23] <bencahill> kcorcoran: pretty fast :)
[17:23] <wabash> anyone?
[17:23] <neohunter111> Hello I have a problem with my mouse, is a microsoft wireless mouse 7000, when i press button6 or buttton 7 ubuntu recives a lot of press and realease events!! any ideas of how to solve this or how to search in google??
[17:23] <sacarlson> pksadiq: I had him grub-install /dev/sda  and that seem to have fixed his ubuntu I guess,  oh you think that only fixed windows hd boot?
[17:23] <ccd> what's the analog for "service sshd start" in ubuntu?
[17:23] <wrd> ccd: start ssh-server i think ...
[17:24] <ccd> wrd: I am giving instructions over the phone... so it would be "sudo start ssh-server" ?
[17:24] <kcorcoran_> bencahill;  took about 5 minutes..is that an acceptable speed for the code that i was compiling?
[17:24] <dnivra> ccd, nope it's "sudo service sshd start". that's right.
[17:24] <bencahill> kcorcoran: dunno anything about compiling, just cpu speeds :)
[17:24] <kshawkeye1> Hey does anyone know where I can find a good guide of how to set up and maintain a LAMP server on Ubuntu Server 10.10?
[17:24] <dnivra> ccd, that command starts the ssh server daemon. i'm pretty sure.
[17:24] <ccd> dnivra: hm... is sshd not installed by default on the netbook edition?
[17:24] <pksadiq> neohunter111: does system > preferences > mouse has any option?
[17:25] <yeats> ccd: no - you have to install openssh-server
[17:25] <ccd> cool
[17:25] <itaylor57> bencahill: how do you list the cpu?
[17:25] <sacarlson> ccd: sshd isn't installed by default on any edition only the client is installed as default
[17:25] <dnivra> ccd, sshd is part of openssh-server; that's is not there by default on any ubuntu edition
[17:26] <neohunter111> pksadiq yes the mouse works, the problem is that i set the boutton 6 and 7 (muse wheel to left o right) to change the desktop screen. and when i press it the desktop cube turns like crazy a lot of times, but before was working ok.
[17:26] <bencahill> itaylor57: System > Administration > System Monitor > System , next to Processor:
[17:26] <bencahill> hey guys, would it be possible to install ubuntu on a usb drive where the computer cannot boot to usb?
[17:26] <neohunter111> pksadiq: yes the mouse works, the problem is that i set the boutton 6 and 7 (muse wheel to left o right) to change the desktop screen. and when i press it the desktop cube turns like crazy a lot of times, but before was working ok.
[17:26] <chaospsychex> where is a location that I can create a folder in other than my home folder?
[17:26] <arpit> i installed ubuntu 10.10 32 bit version everything is fine but my touchpad is not working at all what should i do??
[17:26] <bencahill> ...using hdd for boot, and usb for /
[17:26] <Weedo> is there a keyboard shortcut to change desktop?
[17:26] <wrd> ccd: sudo start ssh
[17:27] <kshawkeye1> Hey does anyone know where I can find a good guide of how to set up and maintain a LAMP server on Ubuntu Server 10.10?
[17:27] <pksadiq> neohunter111: go to compiz settings in system > preferences,a dn select 3D desktop plugin and change settings
[17:27] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: I see these guys have the same problem but I'm not sure they have it working http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=209323
[17:27] <Gajzha> hello everyone! I have a problem and I hope you can help me here.  So I decided to reinstall from scratch. Then I formatted my Ubuntu partition by using the Window XP...
[17:27] <Gajzha> ...partition tool (ouch). Everything seemed alright until I restarted my system... Grub had disappeared and I couldnt start XP anymore! the message on the screen is "error: no such partition" then "gub rescue>" on a 2nd line. I can still access my XP partiton thru the live CD. How can I repair the boot menu, by using the XP CD?
[17:27] <pksadiq> !touchpad
[17:27] <itaylor57> bencahill: thanks
[17:28] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: you can create a folder anyplace you want that is writable but I guess normaly for users you might want to keep it someplace in /home
[17:29] <pksadiq> Gajzha: from xp cd select the repair mode , and you boot into dos, then type FIXBOOT
[17:29] <itaylor57> bencahill: i have a Core i3-330UM Processor ( 32nm, 3MB L3 Cache, 1.20GHz, 18 Watt )
[17:29] <chaospsychex> sacarlson why cant i create a folder in home
[17:29] <bencahill> itaylor57: ok :s
[17:29] <dnivra> chaospsychex, /home is owned by root. you can as root.
[17:29] <DavidJHeinrich1> sacarlson: yea, grub-isntall /dev/sda worked
[17:30] <AbhiJit> whats the factoid for min mx buttn shift issue
[17:30] <arpit> hi guys ,i have a problem here,i installed ubuntu 10.10 32 bit version everything is fine but my touchpad is not working at all what should i do??
[17:30] <neohunter111> pksadiq: where is 3d desktop plugin?
[17:30] <izinucs> !controls | AbhiJit
[17:30] <DavidJHeinrich1> sacarlson: I'm booted, but my partitions are still whacky, and I still want to get Winblows installed at the beginning
[17:30] <sacarlson> chaospsychex: again if you want to create a folder in anyplace other than your /home/user space you need to user sudo  then you can change the owner and group to the accounts you wish to be able to read and write it
[17:30] <pksadiq> !touchpad | arpit

[17:32] <dh003i> also, now for some reason, my USB stick isn't being auto-mounted by 10.10 when I stick it in
[17:32] <neohunter111> pksadiq: ok im there, but i dont see any 3d desktop plugin
[17:32] <Gajzha> pksadiq, thanks, seems easy enough for me to do :-) I want to get my XP to work before I can install Ubuntu again and it seems that's what your solution will do
[17:33] <izinucs> Is there a gui (wysiwym) for Docbook? perhaps LyX?
[17:33] <pksadiq> neohunter111: doesktop cube?
[17:33] <UnholyTerror> neohunter111, System->Preferences->Appearance to make sure 3D (compiz) is turned on.
[17:33] <dh003i> I think I'm gonna stick in my backup hard drive and back up everything on /, /boot, /home, /var, and /tmp ... if I do that, I should be able to install windows, repartition, then put everything back on the appropriate partitions, reinstall grub, hen boot again, right?
[17:33] <ccd> Why is "Files and Folders" and "applications" greyed out on the right side of ubuntu netbook 10.10?
[17:33] <sacarlson> dh003i: I'm not sure I understand wacky,  how can it boot at all if it's mest up?
[17:33] <ccd> err left side
[17:34] <neohunter111> pksadiq: ok im on desktop cube, the desktop cube is working ok if i use the keyboard to move trought it,
[17:34] <pksadiq> dh003i: just did you try http://linuxexpresso.wordpress.com/2010/03/31/repair-a-broken-ext4-superblock-in-ubuntu/
[17:34] <izinucs> dh003i: yep.. although partimage/clonezilla might make it easier
[17:34] <dh003i> sacarlson: I'll pastebin the cfdisk results
[17:34] <chaospsychex> sacarlson: how do i go back a folder in terminal?
[17:34] <arpit> pksadiq:yes touchpad is not working its alps
[17:34] <sacarlson> dh003i: would like to see mount
[17:34] <dh003i> pksadiq: i'm looking at that now...I need to boot with a LiveCD to do that, right?
[17:34] <UnholyTerror> neohunter111, Rotate->Bindings
[17:34] <pksadiq> neohunter111: just desable it and enable it
[17:34] <pksadiq> dh003i: yes

[17:36] <dnivra> nirazio, ssh gives you a shell. it's just another shell-you can run the program from the server or copy it to the client and run it.
[17:36] <Weedo> how do you format a cdrw in ubuntu?
[17:37] <lihui> hi
[17:37] <arpit> ubottu:i already tried xinput list it does not showing any touch pad
[17:37] <ccd> I just install ubuntu netbook, and the menu on the left side of the screen has a icon for "files and folders" but it's grayed out... how do I enable it?
[17:37] <lihui> hello
[17:37] <dnivra> arpit, uBOTtu is a bot :).
[17:37] <lihui> hi
[17:37] <neohunter111> pksadiq: y use xev | grep -i button to see what events is fired, and when i press button 6 or 7 appears a lot of time like if i pressed it 100 times.
[17:37] <bencahill> lihui: hi :), you have a question?
[17:37] <sacarlson> dh003i: it's all perfect nothing wrong
[17:37] <arpit> :pksadiq what do u mean by saying touchpad>arpit????
[17:37] <dh003i> izinucs: ok, but partitionimage/clonezilla would be duplicating my current partition layout, right? and my current partition layout (while it still works), ahs weird stuff happening...see http://pastebin.com/PJ81Mz9Z
[17:37] <lihui> who is chinese?
[17:37] <pksadiq> neohunter111: then chang the mouse shortcuts, it's just might be because more than one function is assigned to a single shortcut

[17:40] <arpit> pksadiq: yes i tried that link
[17:40] <pksadiq> arpit: arpit did you install DKMS ?
[17:40] <sacarlson> dh003i: Application>accesories>Disk usage analizer   I think it's preinstalled
[17:41] <arpit> yes i installed it then reboot my system but it doesnt work
[17:41] <ccd> I am new to using ubuntu netbook, and the menu on the right has 3 items grayed out, "applications" "files and folders" and "trash" how to I un-gray these?
[17:41] <ccd> oops... menu on the left that is
[17:42] <dh003i> sacarlson: disk analyzer doesn't seem like it is looking at partitions...but at folder layout
[17:42] <ccd> I googled around for awhile now...
[17:42] <Dr_Willis> dh003i:  a filesystem gets mounted to a directory, so that makes sence.
[17:43] <sacarlson> dh003i: I still don't see were this 16gb you say is missing is coming from
[17:43] <dh003i> sacarlson: did you see my pastebin?
[17:43] <arpit> pksadiq: yes i did as it is mentioned on that site i installed that and then i rebooted my system and its still not showing touchpad in my system>preference>mouse
[17:43] <sacarlson> dh003i: yes but I never us cfdisk
[17:43] <bencahill> so does anyone know if I could install ubuntu to usb on a computer that does not boot to usb?
[17:43] <sacarlson> dh003i: fdisk -l looks fine to me
[17:44] <nirazio> I have no longer access to the "preferences" menu and the default toolbar. How to  reset Nautilus?
[17:44] <dh003i> sacarlson: fdisk -l seems to only e reporting all mounted partitions
[17:44] <dh003i> sacarlson: cfdisk is reporting on the entireity of /dev/sda
[17:44] <bencahill> dh003i: shouldn't be, at least not sudo fidsk -l
[17:44] <dh003i> sacarlson: the first line in cfdisk says "Unusable 16384.76"
[17:44] <sacarlson> dh003i: how big is the disk suposed to be?
[17:44] <dh003i> 1TB disk
[17:45] <sacarlson> dh003i: and that's what it shows is there
[17:45] <dh003i> sudo fdisk -l doesn't seem to show that 16 GB of "unusable" stuff that cfdisk is showing
[17:45] <dh003i> sacarlson: yes, it does...but the results disagree with cfdisk
[17:45] <sacarlson> dh003i: ya and if disk analizer shows 1tb then it's all good
[17:45] <arpit> dr_willis i need some help here i installed ubuntu 10.10 32 bit version but its not detecting any touchpad in system >preference>mouse and neither its working at all i tried dkms also but its not working
[17:46] <dh003i> sacarlson: cfdisk says it isn't all good...gparted and Disk Utility aren't working anymore
[17:46] <sacarlson> dh003i: well if disk analizer says it has 1tb and fdisk says it has 1tb I think it has 1tb
[17:46] <sacarlson> dh003i:  maybe the 16gb loss is from the way it's formated I don't know
[17:47] <arpit> i need some help here i installed ubuntu 10.10 32 bit version but its not detecting any touchpad in system >preference>mouse and neither its working at all i tried dkms also but its not working
[17:47] <ccd> I installed x11vnc, and I can click stuff... but if I try to click any of the buttons on the left side of the ubuntu netbook screen, nothing happens...
[17:48] <sacarlson> dh003i: oh that unusable space is the mbr
[17:49] <sacarlson> dh003i: it's not 16gb it's just 16000bytes
[17:49] <dh003i> sacarlson: ahhh, lol
[17:49] <dh003i> sacarlson: no, I think its 16GB
[17:50] <sacarlson> dh003i: they just don't bother to show that in fdisk
[17:50] <dh003i>  Size (MB) : 16384.76... 16,000 MB = 16 GB
[17:50] <Winston_Wolf> Hello. My problem is, that my Touchpad & Mouse aren't working as they should. Means, that sometimes I'm not able to click buttons ect. The right touchpad button doesn't work at all. The touchpad problem was already there when I had windows. the problems with the mouse occured since I installed Ubuntu 10.04
[17:50] <dh003i> the size is specified in MB, so it isn't just 16 MB...it's ~16,000 MB
[17:50] <sacarlson> dh003i: see how they say you have<PHONE_NUMBER>016 bytes
[17:51] <dh003i> sacarlson: yea
[17:51] <sacarlson> dh003i:  it's only MB if they put MB at the end
[17:51] <r00t4rd3d> arpit, have you installed any touchpad control apps ?
[17:51] <dh003i> sacarlson: look at cfdisk's output: http://pastebin.com/PJ81Mz9Z
[17:52] <nope> seems Dell Optiplex 980 (and 960) has some strange issues with ubuntu (or maybe linux in general).
[17:52] <grpace> Anyone here familiar with GYachE ?  I'm having trouble with the Auto-Away...  It keeps resetting itself.
[17:52] <arpit> like?
[17:52] <nope> random reboots
[17:52] <r00t4rd3d> tpconfig
[17:52] <sivakumar_> how can i read my windows desktop fi;es
[17:52] <dh003i> sacarlson: the  column header says "Size (MB)" and underneath it says "Unusable 16384.76"...so it is MB...which makes sense, as hat was he size of the partition I tried installing winXP to
[17:52] <arpit> which apps can u name some of them??
[17:52] <sivakumar_> sorry files
[17:52] <istvan> hey, i just created a VM with ubuntu server in it, but after i changed the network connection to bridged the vm isn't connecting to the internet anymore.
[17:53] <nope> istvan: you must "refresh" the network in the vm too
[17:53] <arpit> root: can u name some of that apps
[17:53] <istvan> nope: how do I do that?
[17:53] <nope> sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[17:53] <nope> for instancer
[17:53] <nope> -r
[17:53] <iDope> istvan, is your network set up with DHCP?
[17:53] <istvan> yes
[17:53] <r00t4rd3d> arpit, type in touchpad in Synaptic Package Manager and start installing and testing
[17:53] <r00t4rd3d> tpconfig is one
[17:54] <verywiseman> is this tool work like strace but show std lib or user-defined functions instead of system calls?
[17:54] <arpit> oh thnxs let me try
[17:54] <iDope> istvan: then nopes method is the commandline method. Or you could just click on auto eth0 from the popup on the network manager icon
[17:54] <iDope> that will disconnect it
[17:54] <iDope> and clicking it again will reconnect
[17:54] <sacarlson> dh003i: well if that's the case you would be getting an extra 16gb of space for free,
[17:54] <iDope> assuming you are using gnome
[17:55] <nope> iDope: he said ubuntu server. a server usually dont have gui :)
[17:55] <istvan> iDope: its server
[17:55] <iDope> oh
[17:55] <nope> (atleast it should not)
[17:55] <iDope> missed the server part
[17:55] <istvan> eh, that failed, so i guess its not an ubuntu issue
[17:55] <iDope> then its a simple case of /etc/init.d/networking restart
[17:55] <istvan> thanks guys
[17:55] <Winston_Wolf> Nobody ever heard of that touchpad problem?
[17:55] <Lushy> Hey guys, I'm having some problems getting WoW working - i can load the game and log in normally and smoothly. i pick my char, it loads the bar about 1/4 of the way then the graphics seem to go REALLY bad, but the game doesn't crash. anyone got any ideas?
[17:55] <iDope> its probably something wrong with the bridging setup
[17:55] <nope> istvan: does it get an ip from dhcp?
[17:56] <istvan> nope: nope ;) no dhcp offer
[17:56] <nope> ah
[17:56] <dh003i> I need to be on a LiveCD to accurately backup my / directory, right ?
[17:56] <iDope> if you can set an IP manually and ping your gateway or another IP on your subnet, then its just that DHCP isn't reaching your VM
[17:56] <c4ctus> n
[17:56] <iDope> if you can't then the bridging isn't working at all
[17:56] <Weedo> has anyone ever used lubuntu?
[17:56] <sacarlson> dh003i: when I run cfdisk I see something completely different with (util-linux-ng 2.17.2
[17:56] <nope> dh003i: not necessarily, create a backup user, add it to sudo, and use rdiff-backup for instance
[17:57] <r00t4rd3d> Lushy, video drivers installed ?
[17:57] <llutz_> dh003i: sudo rsync -arux / /mnt/backup
[17:57] <arpit> root:yes tpconfig is already installed i reinstalled it and its still not working
[17:57] <r00t4rd3d> can you play other 3d hardware accelerated games ?
[17:57] <Lushy> r00t4rd3d: Yup - ATi propriety graphics, that unbuntu told me to activate.
[17:57] <istvan> i might have used the wrong network adapter on the host.. checking
[17:57] <Lushy> And yeah, I can.
[17:57] <Weedo> has anyone ever used lubuntu?
[17:58] <dh003i> that's he other thing, I just plugged my 2TB drive into the case's internal hotpluggable SATA cage...I don't see it pop up on the desktop or in he sidebar of the file manger...nor do I see my USB stick show up when I plug it in
[17:58] <arpit> root:yes tpconfig is already installed i reinstalled it and its still not working
[17:58] <Lushy> r00t4rd3d: The game actually loads fine, all smooth and normal. it's only when i log my char into the world, it all goes wierd/bad.
[17:58] <r00t4rd3d> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WorldofWarcraft
[17:59] <Winston_Wolf> r00t4rd3d, could you help me with my mouse/touchpad problem?

[17:59] <kylejjjjj> hey i need some help making a shell script that will shut down the computer when opened?
[17:59] <Weedo> out of interest, are there any linux passwd recovery tools?
[17:59] <Weedo> or 'hacking' tools
[17:59] <dh003i> how can I get a list of all available devices to mount, and why wouldn't a USB or hot-pluggable SATA show up when plugged in?
[18:00] <ccd> What is the button bar on the left side of ubuntu netbook called?
[18:00] <r00t4rd3d> arpit, what kind of laptop brand/model ?
[18:00] <Weedo> the panel?
[18:00] <Lushy> Weedo: take a look at Backtrack.
[18:00] <Weedo> thanks
[18:00] <pksadiq> Weedo:  for what?
[18:00] <ccd> Weedo, thanks. google will like that better than "button bar"
[18:00] <arpit> vaio e series vpcebfg
[18:00] <Weedo> im interested in that sort of thing
[18:01] <Weedo> i dont know how secure linux is
[18:01] <Weedo> windows is lame..
[18:01] <arpit> vaio e series vpcebfg 4gb ram 500 gb hard disk alps touch pad
[18:01] <BluesKaj> kyle , sudo halt in the terminal. no need for a script
[18:02] <kylejjjjj> can someone help with simple shell scripting
[18:02] <arpit> vaio e series vpcebfg 4gb ram 500 gb hard disk alps touch pad
[18:02] <arpit> root: vaio e series vpcebfg 4gb ram 500 gb hard disk alps touch pad
[18:02] <pksadiq> kylejjjjj: why?
[18:02] <r00t4rd3d> tpcconfig -i
[18:02] <Winston_Wolf> I need help with my touchpad & mouse please...
[18:02] <r00t4rd3d> err tpconfig -i
[18:02] <kylejjjjj> well i need a shell script to shutdown my computer when opened
[18:02] <arpit> this is new one?
[18:02] <arpit> okay let me try with this
[18:03] <sacarlson> dh003i: I didn't know sata was hot plugable but I know my usb flashes are
[18:03] <arpit> its the same
[18:04] <sacarlson> dh003i: after the sata is pluged in you should try fdisk -l again  if not seen there try reboot and see if it apears
[18:04] <kylejjjjj> pksadiq : i need it to shut down my computer
[18:04] <dh003i> sacarlson: I figured part of that out...SATA HD didn't show up when I plugged it into SATA-hotplug backplane b/c I put it in wrong one! I have 6 SATA ports to plug it into, but hte one I plugged it into wasn't connected to the motherboard...only 2 ports are connected to mobo by the sata-cables
[18:04] <r00t4rd3d> arpit, what do you get when you type in tpconfig -i in a term
[18:05] <arpit> i founf the same thing when i typed tpconfig
[18:05] <sacarlson> dh003i: ok
[18:05] <arpit> found*
[18:05] <error_203>  red hat or ubuntu? which is best for desktop?
[18:05] <arpit> oh u want me to type in terminal
[18:05] <arpit> okay let me c
[18:06] <josvuk> kylejjj: Basically a shell script is a text with commands to shut down the computer and made executable, write it with an editor and change the mode with chmod
[18:06] <dh003i> sacarlson: but I still don't know why the USB stick and HD aren't showing up by default in Ubuntu and being auto-mounted when I plug them in....now I have to manually mount
[18:06] <sacarlson> dh003i: and what about the usb flash drive?  did you try the frunt and read plugs?  my frunt don't work but I don't know wy
[18:06] <arpit> it says could not open ps/2 port [/dev/psaux]
[18:06] <sacarlson> dh003i: oh if they aren't formated they won't auto mount
[18:06] <dh003i> sacarlson: well, I tried both plugs, front one that is part of an installed CF-reader, and the ones on top of my case...they worked before
[18:06] <FishFace> Updates keep saying to insert CD Ubuntu 10.04. But I am running 10.04. How can I get this to stop?
[18:06] <dh003i> sacarlson: nope, all formatted...I just mounted manually
[18:06] <FishFace> Whoops...I am running 10.10
[18:06] <dh003i> sacarlson: I stuck in my 2TB backup drive
[18:07] <kylejjjjj> well i dont know what to put in the script  i use the vim editor but what do i wright
[18:07] <arpit> root :it says could not open ps/2 port [/dev/psaux] when i type tpconfig -i in terminal
[18:07] <pksadiq> kylejjjjj: just sudo halt does , you can also do sleep time   to run the command after a time lag
[18:07] <Winston_Wolf> I need help with my touchpad & mouse please...
[18:07] <kylejjjjj> ok thanks
[18:07] <arpit> r00t4rd3d :it says could not open ps/2 port [/dev/psaux] when i type tpconfig -i in terminal
[18:07] <sacarlson> dh003i: but maybe the usb flash isn't formated?
[18:08] <dh003i> llutz: I had backed up everything in / to my 2TB backup drive before...if I do sudo rsync -arux / /mnt/backup, is it just going to look for differences and change those?
[18:08] <suprengr> error_203: as this is a ubuntu support channel i'm guessing you'll be told Ubuntu or 'don;t know about red Hat!.  truth is... download cd's of each...  try each... make a choice.  I did.  I chose Ubuntu.
[18:08] <sacarlson> dh003i: oh and see if it is at least seen at all with lsusb
[18:08] <dh003i> sacarlson: the USB is mountable...it is the very same USB that was auto-mounting before I tried installing windows on the 1st 16GB
[18:08] <arpit> r00t4rd3d :it says could not open ps/2 port [/dev/psaux] when i type tpconfig -i in terminal
[18:09] <sacarlson> dh003i:  but is it still seen now?
[18:09] <r00t4rd3d> i see that
[18:09] <error_203> suprenger: ya  i have used both but i think u cannot say which one is better.ya both  have different speciallity
[18:09] <r00t4rd3d> reading
[18:09] <suprengr> error_203:  tru bro
[18:10] <andrewvc> anyone know what would create a situation where 'ps' can't find a process (given an ID), but 'kill' can
[18:10] <andrewvc> ps aux specifically
[18:10] <dh003i> sacarlson: ls /dev/disk/by-label -lah picks it up
[18:11] <dh003i> ls /dev/disk/by-label -lah shows my USB on one of the lines: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  10 2010-12-18 12:58 DIESEL -> ../../sdb1
[18:12] <sacarlson> dh003i: so it is working?
[18:12] <Winston_Wolf> I need help with my touchpad & mouse please...
[18:12] <arpit> root: tell me what to do
[18:12] <arpit> i cant help it
[18:12] <dh003i> sacarlson: yes, the 2TB SATA and my USB stick are now mounted...but I had to do it manually
[18:13] <sacarlson> dh003i:  must be a new feature
[18:13] <Ubuntuguy> Ubuntu says I'm using 11.04, but I don't remember installing it... Everything is the way it was when I first installed 10.10, is this a normal thing?
[18:13] <r00t4rd3d> arpit, pm
[18:13] <Winston_Wolf> Come on guys, please... :/
[18:13] <r00t4rd3d> Winston_Wolf, you said your mouse wasnt working in windows ?
[18:13] <KM0201> lol
[18:14] <Ubuntuguy> Are other people
[18:14] <Ubuntuguy> s ubuntu saying they'
[18:14] <Ubuntuguy> re
[18:14] <Windowed> evening to all :) I'm having a hard time with something as simple as sharing files with my windows machines...
[18:14] <dh003i> sacarlson: huh? what do u mean? Ubuntu has been auto-mounting USB's and SATA's for a while, I hink. what's new, for me, is it not doing this
[18:14] <Ubuntuguy> using 11.04?
[18:14] <FloodBot3> Ubuntuguy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:14] <FloodBot2> Ubuntuguy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:14] <Winston_Wolf> Touchpad wasnt working on Windows either. Mouse was okaz
[18:14] <Ubuntuguy> Or is it just me?
[18:14] <KM0201> !enter | Ubuntuguy
[18:14] <Winston_Wolf> So no idea what the hell is going on
[18:14] <Ubuntuguy> Sorry about that
[18:14] <KM0201> Ubuntuguy: for 11.04 support, go to ubuntu+1
[18:14] <Ubuntuguy> But I'm not using 11.04...
[18:14] <Ubuntuguy> It says I am though.
[18:15] <bonjoyee> Ubuntuguy: where does it say 11.04..about ubuntu page?
[18:15] <pksadiq> !samba | Windowed
[18:15] <Ubuntuguy> And I want to know why, because I didn't install it.
[18:15] <Ubuntuguy> No, under about ubuntu
[18:15] <mlody> siema
[18:15] <KM0201> Ubuntuguy: thats just the "About ubuntu"... type lsb_release -a and it will say you're using maverick
[18:15] <nomicos> How to set cyrillic support in Linux terminal on Ubuntu Maverick?
[18:15] <sacarlson> dh003i: that's what I mean it did it for a while but now it has the new feature of not doing it?  since they do work I'm sure there is a way to fix them
[18:15] <bencahill_> Ubuntuguy, the floodbots really got you :)
[18:15] <bonjoyee> that right..seems its a bug or rather a misprint....nothing serious..
[18:15] <Ubuntuguy> Right, alright got a scare there :O
[18:15] <Ubuntuguy> Thanks
[18:16] <r00t4rd3d> is there any touchpad settings in bios that are disabled or something ?
[18:16] <Windowed> Samba is what i'm using, it seemed to work ok but all of a sudden.. it stopped working
[18:16] <bonjoyee> what does "sudo lsb_release -a" say?
[18:16] <r00t4rd3d> have your tried a different mouse ?
[18:16] <Winston_Wolf> I didnt find anything. Sometimes its working, sometimes not
[18:16] <Winston_Wolf> Yeah, I have tried 2
[18:16] <bencahill_> Hey, I'm installing ubuntu cli using the alternate cd, could someone help me with partitions?
[18:17] <r00t4rd3d> and niether mouse works ?
[18:17] <Winston_Wolf> Sometimes they work, sometimes nit
[18:17] <Winston_Wolf> *not
[18:17] <bonjoyee> !ask | bencahill_
[18:17] <r00t4rd3d> usb mouse ?
[18:17] <Winston_Wolf> Yeah
[18:17] <Winston_Wolf> Same with touchpad
[18:17] <Winston_Wolf> At least the left button...
[18:18] <dh003i> sacarlson: well, I wouldn't call it a "new feature"...it is something that got broken for me within 10.10 after trying to install windows, then recovering the MBR
[18:18] <Windowed> pksadiq | I'm trying to administer my connection with gadmin-samba
[18:18] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, I'm trying to install so that boot is on the hdd, and / is on the usb, got any ideas?
[18:18] <r00t4rd3d> is the laptop a POS ?
[18:18] <arpit> pm what?
[18:18] <arpit> pm what?
[18:18] <arpit> root: pm what?
[18:18] <r00t4rd3d> pm = private message
[18:18] <bencahill_> r00t4rd3d, who was that question for?
[18:18] <Winston_Wolf> POS?
[18:18] <r00t4rd3d> piece of shit :D
[18:18] <bencahill_> Winston_Wolf, piece of shit
[18:19] <IdleOne> !language
[18:19] <Winston_Wolf> I bought it two fucking months ago and tried two OS, so yeah. biggest POS ever
[18:19] <bonjoyee> bencahill_: if the installer lists them in the partitioning menu should be straight enough..
[18:19] <r00t4rd3d> If your touchpad dont work in windows either.....
[18:19] <number_number> how can i get apt-cache to return only the names of the packages i'm searching? i know the -n flag restricts the search to the names only.. but i want to get a list of the packages without resorting to awk
[18:19] <sacarlson> dh003i: I see other posts about unused space seen with cfdisk but not in fdisk but I don't see them getting an answer as to why
[18:19] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, I chose "Manual" at the first screen, and it lists it after that
[18:20] <Winston_Wolf> Well it worked after I installed the drivers, at least for some days. Then I had the same problem again
[18:20] <neohunter111> when i press one time the button 6 o my mouse the event is fired  about 100 times, how i can check or solve this?
[18:20] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, sdb, 2.1GB USB Flash Memory :)

[18:20] <Winston_Wolf> So it has to be something no connected to the OS
[18:21] <dh003i> sacarlson: why is prolly b/c windows fsked everything
[18:21] <bonjoyee> bencahill_:  so /boot need to be on a hdd partition and / on usb (sdb1) right?
[18:21] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, correct, because computer cannot boot to usb
[18:21] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, i assume that would work?
[18:21] <bonjoyee> where would grub go?
[18:22] <dh003i> sacarlson: it's really awful, it didn't even install the OS...just deleted a partition and *tried* to format it as WinFS (but didn't succeed)...wtf, why is it even touching the MBR for that?
[18:22] <nirazio> Does anyone know of any good documentation on different error messages?

[18:23] <bonjoyee>  bencahill_: do you grub installed already?
[18:23] <dh003i> nit-wit: even on the 1st partition of the HD, WinXP wouldn't install
[18:23] <dh003i> nit-wit: it would delete the partition and fsk up the MBR for some reason, but hen would say it couldn't format the partitionas Windows' FS and couldn't install
[18:24] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, well, ubuntu (cli) is currently installed on hdd (regular), but I want to re-install on usb for quietness (this is for a digital picture frame out of an old laptop)
[18:24] <Halexander> I would very much apreciate it if I were to receive some help here.
[18:24] <nit-wit> dh003i, lets do the bootscipt again http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ paste bin it
[18:24] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, ...so grub is installed, but obviously would have to be changed :)
[18:24] <bencahill_> !patience | Halexander
[18:24] <Weedo> does anyone have any ideas, i need to download a 2gb iso on a 40kbps connection
[18:25] <bencahill_> Weedo, do you have a time limit?
[18:25] <Weedo> i dont think so
[18:25] <Winston_Wolf> Could resetting BIOS help_
[18:25] <bonjoyee> bencahill_: grub should be able to detect the new os...as its already installed once..
[18:25] <sacarlson> dh003i: this guy might have the answer he says you can't have too many primary partitons https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103096
[18:25] <Weedo> theres a 10gb limit
[18:25] <bencahill_> Weedo, then just wait :)
[18:25] <Weedo> great...
[18:25] <j3roen> Be patient :-)
[18:25] <deddly> I've started installing Open Sound System according to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSound but I have aproblem early on in the guide. It says I should type "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop" but it returns the error: sudo: /etc/init.d/alsa-utils: command not found. Can anyone help me please?
[18:25] <Weedo> i want it before next year
[18:26] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, ok :) , so what should my partitions be?
[18:26] <bonjoyee> bencahill_: also why not have the entire / on usb?
[18:26] <FishFace> Weedo: You should find someone to DL it and mail it to you
[18:26] <Weedo> maybe...
[18:26] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, computer cannot boot to usb :)
[18:26] <nit-wit> dh003i, XP needs sta divers to be installed on a sata disc is the 1treebyte drive set for sta or ide in the bios
[18:26] <Weedo> if i had any friends...
[18:26] <Weedo> !!
[18:26] <bencahill_> Weedo, go to library and take a flash drive?
[18:26] <FishFace> LOL!
[18:26] <sacarlson> dh003i: and I note that I only have 1 primary and all others are logicals
[18:26] <nit-wit> dh003i, sata drivers
[18:26] <bonjoyee> bencahill_: please explain..what do u mean...
[18:27] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, the computer's BIOS does not have the capability of booting to a USB device
[18:27] <Gintulis> hi, can i delete folder's from /usr/src ->  "linux-2.6.36", "linux-headers-2.6.35-23", "linux-headers-2.6.35-23-generic", "linux-headers-<IP_ADDRESS>-candela", it used about 5.9GB
[18:27] <dh003i> nit-wit: sata drivers?
[18:27] <dh003i> nit-wit: but I didn't change 'em, nor the USB drivers
[18:27] <dh003i> nit-wit: I'll do the boot script again in a min
[18:28] <bonjoyee> bencahill_:  grub should take care of that...if  your bios detects the usb device...grub can take control later..
[18:28] <nit-wit> dh003i, your big HD is probably a sata drive, you may be able to change the bios and installXP without the drivers is the XP a OEM disc
[18:28] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, BIOS does not know anything about USB, computer was built in 00-02ish :s
[18:29] <nit-wit> dh003i, have you had this XP running on this HD ever
[18:29] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, i guess grub on hdd would be able to boot to usb?
[18:29] <pupuserc1803c> what's the problem?
[18:29] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, what do you mean by bios "detecting" the usb device?
[18:29] <dh003i> nit-wit: nope, I just d/l-ed WinXP from the most popular XP torrent on kickasstorrents...haven't ever had XP on this comp, just want it now to use Spectraview II to calibrate my monitor
[18:30] <bonjoyee> bencahill_: but u say grub is installed to hdd  and the installer detects the usb ...so i dont see any advantage/reason to have ../boot on hdd
[18:30] <bonjoyee> anyways..ask some else as well here...
[18:30] <nit-wit> dh003i, so when you try and install XP it doesn't see the hd what happens
[18:30] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, I'm not familiar with how /boot works, so I suppose that would work fine :)
[18:31] <bonjoyee> bencahill_: ill tell how i expect it to work..
[18:31] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, yes I see what you mean now :)
[18:31] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, ok...
[18:31] <sacarlson> dh003i: would this spectraview work in virtualbox?  probly not but
[18:31] <LSeactuary> hello?
[18:31] <LSeactuary> oh okay in in i guess
[18:31] <LSeactuary> can someone help me?
[18:31] <bonjoyee> bonjoyee: you boot into the already installed os..run update-grub...it detects your os on the usb...
[18:31] <bencahill_> LSeactuary, hello there :), do you have a question regarding ubuntu?
[18:31] <LSeactuary> ive basically just fully installed ubuntu
[18:31] <bencahill_> !ask | LSeactuary
[18:32] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, talking to yourself? :)
[18:32] <mawst> Ok someone give me a hint here... I updated my /etc/default/grub and my 00_header with the grub_gfxmode stuff... I'm using the nvidie drivers (proprietary)... I get a black screen on boot (shows the splash fine though). Is there something I need to do to the command like, thequiet splash or something?
[18:32] <dh003i> nit-wit: it sees the HD, seesthe partitions Linux made...I tried to install to the 1st 16GB partition, which I'd had Linux "delete" to make free space...XP said it couldn't make a filesystem there...something about "Disk 0 ld 0 on ATAPI (MBR)...no XP-compatible partition"
[18:32] <bonjoyee> next time u restart..it lists there in the menu..grub handles the control to usb...
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: ususb  was designed in 96. so a 2000 system wl have usb although it may not be able to boot it
[18:32] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, i understand, makes perfect sense :)
[18:33] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, now how should I partition the USB drive for ubuntu?
[18:33] <dh003i> sacarlson: well, Graeme, the creator of the free linux profiling software, Argyll, and others on the Argyll mailing list didn't think Spectraview would work in a virtualbox as it has to use DDC (data display channel) to access the monitor
[18:33] <bonjoyee> is its blank..nothing to lose..give it a shot..
[18:33] <bonjoyee> if*
[18:33] <LSeactuary> i installed ubutnu fully the screen said 'restart now' and everything and the disk came out but now its a black screen with white writing saying '2720.889883 end requiest: I_0 error dev sr0 sector 535236 and the same line with different numbers for about 50 lines. what od i do?
[18:33] <sacarlson> dh003i: figures
[18:34] <dh003i> sacarlson: I think what it comes down to is that one way or another, to calibrate the monitor from software, u need to access it by DDC (data display channel) via the DVI-D cable...and Linux has no standard protocol for that...hence no monitor is detected in Wine when I try installing the prog from Wine, and virtualbox'd prolly be same
[18:34] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, it's got some files on it, the don't matter
[18:34] <nit-wit> dh003i, simce it is a download it is hard to say, but a standard XP install to a sata type HD needs stat drivers unless the bios is set th ahce/ide reboot to the bios and check the HD and this
[18:34] <ActionParsnip> lseactuary: take the cd out of the drive
[18:34] <bonjoyee> bencahill_: no more partitions..just format sdb1 to a filesystem of your choice ext3/4 and use entire as /
[18:34] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, I don't need swap?
[18:34] <bonjoyee> how much ram?
[18:35] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, 128mb :P
[18:35] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, but all I'm doing is fbi
[18:35] <bonjoyee> hmmm..then u need a bit...say 512MB..
[18:35] <dh003i> nit-wit: here's the boot info script output file: http://pastebin.com/D4V1Tk0Y
[18:36] <LSeactuary> anyone?
[18:36] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, right, so a 1.5GB primary ext4, and a 512MB swap
[18:36] <ActionParsnip> bencahill: use ext2 if the storage is flash based. makes it last longer
[18:36] <bonjoyee> but not sure if that will leave enough space for the os..
[18:36] <bencahill_> ActionParsnip, ok, I'll do that
[18:36] <LSeactuary> ActionParnship, the CD came out already so i took it out already. the screen hasnt changed
[18:36] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, current os (which I'm basically cloning) is 1.1gb
[18:36] <bonjoyee> bencahill_:  do u have swap on the hdd?
[18:36] <bencahill_> s/gb/GB/
[18:37] <dh003i> nit-wit: so b4 I do anything else stupid, llutz had suggested I use rsync from a newly created user with admin privs like this: rsync -arux / /mnt/backup
[18:37] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, yes, but if I used that, the hdd would probably spin up once in a while, right?
[18:37] <Dr_Willis> ActionParsnip:  have you ever seen any actual benchmarks on that? Ive never seen any 'proof' :) then again ive never had a flash drive go bad either no matter what fs i use
[18:37] <LSeactuary> now its just turned off bu the harddrive lights still on???
[18:37] <bonjoyee> bencahill_:yes..as you have so less ram in there..
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> bonjoyee: rule of thuumb is 2xRA foress than 2gb ram
[18:38] <Halexander> Still here...
[18:38] <LSeactuary> anyone?
[18:38] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, current swap (determined by installer) is 359.7MB
[18:38] <nit-wit> dh003i, I'm not familiar with resnc as a backup,  notice you now have a 2 terrebyte drive with  grub legacy again and a gpt setup, you need to make a thread at the Ubuntu forums
[18:39] <dh003i> nit-wit: hmm, I wonder why the 2TB HD is grub legacy...I formatted it from Ubuntu...I think while I was in10.04
[18:39] <bonjoyee> bencahill_: if ur ok with it use it..else create new ..
[18:39] <nit-wit> dh003i, this is more then the IRC is set up to get set up correctly to be honest
[18:39] <LSeactuary> okay its come up to the home screen but it looks wrong. can someone please help me. i have alot of work to do..... :(
[18:39] <dh003i> nit-wit: the 2TB HD is a backup
[18:39] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, as I said before, wouldn't using the hdd swap make the hdd spin up once in a while?
[18:39] <LSeactuary> mod probe: FATAL: could not load /lib/modules something
[18:39] <nit-wit> dh003i, okay
[18:39] <LSeactuary> then it loads to the home screen
[18:40] <dh003i> k, i'll post it on Ubuntu forums
[18:40] <ActionParsnip> dwillis: flash nhas limited writes and ext2 has no journal. makes sense but i havent seen benchmarks just playing safe
[18:40] <bonjoyee> bencahill_: yes it would...
[18:40] <bencahill_> LSeactuary, you may want to try the ubuntu forums
[18:40] <kylejjjjj> i need a shell script that will halt the computer but not require  a password
[18:40] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, then I'd rather use the usb for swap
[18:40] <LSeactuary> i have - no ones replied!
[18:40] <bencahill_> LSeactuary, oh :)
[18:40] <Dr_Willis> kylejjjjj:  set the suid bit on the shutdown command. :) is a dirty way to do that
[18:41] <agentgasmask> kylejjjjj: "shutdown -h now" run as root
[18:41] <bonjoyee> thats fine...also consider what ActionParsnip: said...256MB?
[18:41] <deddly> I'm trying to follow this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/545349/ but I'm a bit lost from the begining...
[18:41] <bonjoyee> since its cli...shud be fine..
[18:41] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, yes, I think I'll go with that, as I am only running one program (fbi)
[18:41] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, ok, I'm trying it now...
[18:41]  * bencahill_ tries...
[18:42] <kylejjjjj> im very sorry im verry new to linux i genral  what did you mean suid bit?
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> kylejjjjj: you camn add shutdown to visudo and it wont. there are guides
[18:43] <deddly> Please could someone help me to do this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/545349/
[18:43] <bonjoyee> bencahill_:also ...if the installer asks where to install the grub...let it do on the usb device..u can use it later on a newer system..that support usb booting...
[18:43] <nit-wit> dh003i, pm me when you post the bootscrpt on the forums
[18:43] <Dr_Willis> kylejjjjj:  the 'suid bit' is a special mode that if set on a binary - that binary runs as the owner. its a way to let things run as 'root'  all the time. Its considerd a security risk.
[18:43] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, ok
[18:44] <Dr_Willis> kylejjjjj:  you can set up sudo, where 'sudo shutdown' would NOT require a password. also. thats 'safer'
[18:44] <sacarlson> dh003i: I'm not sure I'm reading you last grub thing correct but is grub 16gb?  16.3GB: grub/stage2
[18:44] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, I'm setting up the partitions...doing the ext3 1.8GB right now, do I want the bootable flag "on"?
[18:44] <bonjoyee> bencahill_:check twice..the usb device:)
[18:44] <dh003i> sacarlson: the 1st unused area from cfdisk is 16 GB, yes
[18:44] <bonjoyee> yes...its not needed in ur setup..but do it
[18:44] <sivakumar> i have a problem on drapes that it is not restrating itself when i logged in
[18:44] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, ok, got it
[18:44] <sacarlson> dh003i: I guess it was needed for grub?
[18:45] <Dr_Willis> kylejjjjj:  read up on 'sudo' configuration if you want to go the sudo route.
[18:45] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, will do, do you think removing and re-inserting the usb drive will mess up the install?
[18:45] <dh003i> sacarlson: no, it was originally a 16GB swap partition
[18:45] <Dr_Willis> !sudo
[18:45] <kylejjjjj> ok thanks
[18:45] <bonjoyee> bencahill_:  not after starting the installer...
[18:45] <dh003i> sacarlson: then I thought I'd use it for Windows XP, because windows needs the 1st partition
[18:45] <dh003i> sacarlson: but windows failed to install
[18:45] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, ok, off to check the usb contents :)
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> bonjoyee: with the space and power limitation i suggest you ise lubuntu
[18:46] <pupuserc1803c> you burned xp?
[18:46] <sacarlson> dh003i:  ok that clears that up I guess
[18:46] <bonjoyee>  ActionParsnip: its just the cli..minimal install
[18:46] <sivakumar> is here anyone know about drapes
[18:46] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, yeah, there wasn't anything on there I needed, always good to check, though :)
[18:46] <sacarlson> dh003i: so was this guy right then https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=103096
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> makes sense.  tbats  ool too
[18:47] <bonjoyee> hmm..
[18:47] <sacarlson> dh003i:  I think you still only have 3 primary so I guess it could still have 1 more
[18:47] <dh003i> sacarlson: I don't even know what he's trying to say
[18:47] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, I don't need any special mount options?
[18:47] <dh003i> sacarlson: oh yea, I do remember xp saying something about max # of partitions already on disk, lol...but the first 16GB was deleted and unused, which was where I wanted it to make the partition
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> sivakumar:  my wife made some lovely ones with lace the other day for the bedroom.
[18:48] <bonjoyee> dont think so..
[18:48] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, ok
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> ha!
[18:48] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, I can't set the bootable flag as on, I suppose I will leave it off :s
[18:49] <sivakumar> Dr_Willis, i asking about drapes in ubuntu
[18:49] <sacarlson> dh003i: so the fix would be to not put so many primary partitions?
[18:49] <karthick87> My system hangs when i type "compiz --replace in terminal" Can anyone help??
[18:49] <bonjoyee> bencahill_:as i said..watch every step...dont mess up with the hdd!!
[18:49] <xtremox> how to install slim on ubuntu?
[18:49] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, I'm setting up partitions on the usb :s
[18:50] <sivakumar> xtremox, what is slim
[18:50] <Halexander> Help?!
[18:50] <tha_chriz> hello, new here, anyone can help me with Interent disconecting on Ubuntu 10.10 and intel wifi on HP 530?
[18:51] <deddly> Please someone help me, this is basic stuff for Linux users. I see that the libasounds2-plugins package is already installed in xubuntu, but the next step in http://paste.ubuntu.com/545349/ I am having trouble with. Where should I find the .asoundrc file?
[18:51] <dh003i> sacarlson: yea, maybe...I think  Ionly had 3, though.../sda1 as swap (b4 I deleted it for winxp), sda2 for boot, sda 3 for /...ahh, no it was 4, sda 4 for extended, where /var, /tmp, and /home went
[18:51] <sivakumar> xtremox, are u there
[18:52] <bb> Anyone know the clutter library for python?
[18:52] <xtremox> yes slim is gdm alternative
[18:52] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, ok, so this is my partition table for sdb (usb)
[18:52] <sivakumar> Halexander, for what:
[18:52] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, #1 primary 1.8GB f ext2 /
[18:53] <Leon_Wallch_Deve> hi... when i go and click about ubuntu it says: You are using Ubuntu 11.04- the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011 and supported until October 2012. And the problem is that now i cannot install a deb file because of an error.. How can i fix this? i really do not know why it says 11.04
[18:53] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, #5 logical 260.0 MB f swap swap
[18:53] <sivakumar> xtremox, what is gdm
[18:53] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, look good?
[18:53] <bonjoyee> bencahill_: why ext2?
[18:53] <matthiaskrgr> I have  a laptop here (1400:1050) but also an external screen (1600x1500)  Is there an ways way to connect them in a way the screen doesn't flicker? I use gnom-display-properties
[18:53] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, above someone said that it would prolong usb life, do you think I should use ext4?
[18:53] <deddly> Leon_Wallch_Deve: 11.04 is the Alpha development version isn't it?
[18:54] <OerH> Leon_Wallch_Deve, support natty 11.04 in #Ubuntu+1
[18:54] <bonjoyee> yes..thats right..ext2 does not have a journal...
[18:54] <Leon_Wallch_Deve> yes but i basically have 10.10
[18:54] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, ok, one sec
[18:54] <Daekdroom> bencahill, not using a swap partition in USB is also a way to prolong USB life
[18:54] <Leon_Wallch_Deve> i do not know why it says 11.04... maybe from an update or somthing
[18:55] <Halexander> USB Modem MF626 that my internet provitder from Romania, Zapp gave me is not currently functioning in a non-Microsoft environment. Tried wvdial. This is what it said:http://pastebin.com/LLFvWvz9
[18:55] <bonjoyee> but its prone to data loss...in case of abnormal shutdowns etc...
[18:55] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, ok, so now it's the same, except #1 is ext4 (obviously) :)
[18:55] <Halexander> sivakumar: USB Modem MF626 that my internet provitder from Romania, Zapp gave me is not currently functioning in a non-Microsoft environment. Tried wvdial. This is what it said:http://pastebin.com/LLFvWvz9
[18:55] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, doesn't really matter, as it will be a digital picture frame, just showing pics :)
[18:56] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, it almost seems ext2 would be better, since it doesn't journal?
[18:56] <deddly> Where can I find this file? I'm reading a guide and it says: "Make sure an ~/.asoundrc file exists."
[18:56] <bonjoyee> ok...you know it better..just helpingu make choices..
[18:57] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, ok, I'm going to go ahead and use ext2, here we go!
[18:57] <Lantchips> I have a bit noobish question I guess.. If I want to make a program to start from the terminal with just typing chrome& how do I do this ? Or any suggestion what to search for to read about it ?
[18:57] <Weedo> type "chrome"
[18:58] <Lantchips> but I just did a program :P
[18:58] <Weedo> ?
[18:58] <Lantchips> I just said a program
[18:58] <Lantchips> soz
[18:58] <LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd> hi, i happen to have no wi-fi available at all just out of the blue, with no reason since 2 days, from this computer, with another pc with ubuntu on i can actually find many wi-fis around and get connected as well, what happened? thanks
[18:58] <deddly> lantchips är sååååå goda
[18:58] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, it says "The following partitions are going to be formatted:", and one in the list is the sda swap, is that fine?
[18:58] <Weedo> what program?
[18:58] <Lantchips> This program is called matlab
[18:58] <Weedo> try "matlab"
[18:59] <bencahill_> !matlab
[18:59] <bonjoyee> fine if its the swap being formatted as swap..
[18:59] <tha_chriz> why wifi is dosconnecting? someone have same problems?
[18:59] <Lantchips> But i need to go into the folder and bla bla bla but I wanna make like a shortcut in the terminal
[18:59] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, yes :-/
[18:59] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, ok
[18:59] <Weedo> oh, a script
[18:59] <Lantchips> so instead of going into that folder to type matlab I wanna be able to do it from anywhere
[19:00] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, ok, it's doing its thing :)
[19:00] <Lantchips> mayb ^
[19:00] <Lantchips> What should I google for to read about it ? :)
[19:00] <Weedo> look up bash scripts
[19:00] <Lantchips> ty
[19:00] <deddly> OK people, I'm reading a guide and it says: "Make sure an ~/.asoundrc file exists." Where should it exist?
[19:00] <bencahill_> deddly, ~ = /home/currentuser
[19:00] <Lantchips> And yes Deddly lantchips is very nice ;)
[19:00] <bencahill_> deddly, files starting with . are hidden, fyi
[19:00] <histo> deddly: ~ = /home/username
[19:01] <infinitus> you can type $cd ~
[19:01] <bencahill_> histo, beat you to it :)
[19:01] <infinitus> then ls -al

[19:01] <[thor]> what does it mean when a group of packages is "kept back" during 'sudo apt-get upgrade' ?

[19:04] <[thor]> bencahill: these are upgrades to xbmc, which i have installed.. reading the prompt after 'apt-get --purge autoremove xbmc' and then 'apt-get install xbmc', it says that the package i want to install requires dependencies that are still in "Incoming", and not available..
[19:04] <bencahill_> [thor], oh, I don't know
[19:05] <bonjoyee> [thor]: did u pin/lock  any packages?
[19:05] <bencahill_> hey bonjoyee, this was the corrupt cd (gah!), once I reboot with the correct cd, how do I tell it to install on the usb?
[19:05] <[thor]> http://pastebin.com/RLBkVrzN
[19:05] <[thor]> that is the error
[19:05] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, or do I need to create the partitions again?
[19:06] <settimio> salve
[19:06] <deddly> OK This guide says: "Make sure an ~/.asoundrc file exists." It doesn't exist, can I just make a document in AbiWord and save it there? What format should I save in?
[19:06] <LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd> anyone? i cant access any wifi network any more and i have no idea why, can anyone help?
[19:06] <bonjoyee>  bencahill_:no..the partitions will be there..just format them once again

[19:06] <agentgasmask> Hi guys. I think I remember reading somewhere that you can set a directory so that any files created in that directory have the directory's group set as the files group. Is this poseble, or am I remembering this wrong?
[19:07] <[thor]> if i am reading http://pastebin.com/RLBkVrzN correctly, i think i have to wait a little while for the dependant packages to be available, so that i can install the main package.
[19:07] <bencahill_> bonjoyee, ok, let me find the right cd :)
[19:07] <Guest44560> hey! need some help with my dualboot. I've installed Ubuntu 10.10 and Win7 on separate hard drives, the only way to change bootdrive when I start is to change it in BIOS. Anyone know if I can get like a menu when I boot, where I can pick which OS I want to boot?
[19:07] <nit-wit> dh003i, sent you a pm at the forums
[19:08] <histo> Guest44560: install grub on one of the drives and leave it as bootable.
[19:08] <xnox> I have run this:'cd /var && sudo find . name "something" -delete' this has nuked most of the stuff in /var/* before I cancelled the command. I no longer have /var/lib/dpkg. Do I have any hope at recovering?
[19:08] <histo> !grub2 > Guest44560
[19:08] <infinitus> deddly, you can try $touch .asoundrc
[19:08] <charas> Is terminator miles better than GNOME terminal?
[19:09] <IdleOne> what is the command to remove obsolete packages?
[19:09] <histo> !best > charas
[19:09] <nit-wit> Guest44560, run this scirpt and post it in a pastebin.   http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[19:09] <histo> IdleOne: apt-get autoremove?
[19:10] <histo> IdleOne: or you mean orphaned packages?
[19:10] <IdleOne> histo: no, that removes downloaded cached debs
[19:10] <histo> IdleOne: no it removes packages that are no longer needed
[19:10] <kylejjjjj> who know shell scripting ?
[19:10] <histo> IdleOne: autoclean removes cached debs
[19:10] <deddly> infinitus: Typing $touch .asoundrc returns "command not found"
[19:10] <IdleOne> histo: ah, ok :)
[19:11] <[thor]> histo/idleone: isn't --purge there to scrape out the last remnants of an install?
[19:11] <Guest44560> *bumping my dualbootQuestion*
[19:11] <kylejjjjj> anyone?
[19:11] <samlife> hola como entro a un canal en español
[19:11] <IdleOne> [thor]: I am talking about packages which are no longer needed/used
[19:11] <Dr_Willis> Guest44560:  thats the main point of grub. when ubuntu installs.. it puts grub on the mbr of the HD you want to boot
[19:11] <histo> IdleOne: synaptic has a bunch of options for removing obsolete and residual configs
[19:11] <[thor]> !es | samlife
[19:11] <Dr_Willis> Guest44560:  that handles the menu to select the OS
[19:11] <nit-wit> Guest44560, read my post
[19:11] <IdleOne> samlife: escribe /join #uubntu-es in esta bentana
[19:11] <agentgasmask> nm I figured it out. it is the sgid bit
[19:11] <LoRd_UnDeRwOrLd> id like to click on "enable wireless" but it does not let me, what happened?
[19:11] <IdleOne> #ubuntu-es*

[19:12] <decherdt> How can I get the UUID for /dev/sdc8 when blkid result is blank? http://pastebin.com/fQ2PTmfA
[19:12] <histo> IdleOne: click the status button in the bottom left and you will see a list in the left frame
[19:12] <bonjoyee> [thor]: purge removes the packages along with config files..does not remove all of its dependencies
[19:12] <nit-wit> Guest44560, I have a dialogue widow open
[19:12] <samlife> ok tks
[19:12] <IdleOne> histo: yeah i know, I just wanted the faster CLI route and wasn't sure which command it was

[19:20] <nit-wit> Guest44560, are you still with us did you see the bootscript link?
[19:20] <jchase520> http://www.playonlinux.com/en/
[19:20] <Dr_Willis> Lantchips:  if you set it in a shell. its untill the shell ends.
[19:21] <Dr_Willis> Lantchips:  if you set it in your .bashrc or similer. it gets readded every time the shell starts
[19:21] <Dr_Willis> !alias
[19:21] <bonjoyee> simon34: for a start..u need a link like this ... http://distrowatch.com/news/oggcast.xml
[19:21] <Lantchips> !alias
[19:21] <Dr_Willis> Lantchips:  see the various BASH docs for info
[19:21] <deddly> infinitus: oh right... Yes I see it in the "ls -al" list, but I can't see the file when I look at the folder, even showing hidden files
[19:21] <adac><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:21] <xnox> shcherbak: hmmm do you mean to dd from patition e.g. /dev/sda3?
[19:21] <sori> Is there an optimised version of ubuntu to be used as a guest OS in a VMWare virtual machine?
[19:21] <Lantchips> so If i want to make a shortcut in the terminal I have to type stuff in the bashrc ? :)
[19:22] <Dr_Willis> kylejjjjj:  untill you learn a little bit of linux basics. i wouldent be just 'trying' stuff like that.
[19:22] <sprung> sori: no there is not.
[19:22] <Dr_Willis> Lantchips:  if you want a perment ALIAS in your bash shell. you add the alias to the proper bash config file.
[19:22] <LSeactuary> helloooooo can someone help me?
[19:22] <deddly> infinitus: So how can I go in and edit the file if I can't see it to click on?
[19:23] <sori> sprung: if I want a lightwave version , what do you recommand? Xubuntu?
[19:23] <infinitus> deddly: if ls -al shows it's there, it's there
[19:23] <sprung> sori, if there is one, it's not approved by canonical, but enthusiasts might have something
[19:23] <kylejjjjj> Dr_Willis: ya your right but i really want to be able to shutdown my computer with an email
[19:23] <infinitus> deddly: in the terminal, 'nano .asoundrc'
[19:23] <infinitus> deddly: or use whichever text editor you like
[19:23] <sacarlson> sori: I see some linux kernel that is labled as virtual that I guess is setup to be optimized for vm or virtualbox,  I'm not sure what differences it has
[19:23] <intick> Hi all, i have a problem starting a command from sh file ..the command works fine from a terminal but does not work from an SH script . (chmod +x and chmod 755)
[19:23] <intick> any idea ?
[19:23] <Dr_Willis> kylejjjjj:  sounds rather.. odd..
[19:23] <sprung> sori of course you could always try running the OS natively
[19:23] <Dr_Willis> kylejjjjj:  you could just ssh in and shut it down. theres proberly dozens of ways you could do it also.
[19:23] <Lantchips> ahh I c :) Gonna read up on that now :) Thank you Dr_willis
[19:24] <sori> thanks sacarlson sprung
[19:24] <kylejjjjj> ya but sometimes i froget to turn it off so being able to do it foem anywere would be good
[19:24] <Dr_Willis> kylejjjjj:  suid is worth learning about ---> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid
[19:24] <whateverDever> hi
[19:24] <Dr_Willis> kylejjjjj:  if you can ssh to it. You could make a 'shutdown' user with  the shutdown command as their shell. :)  you login as that user.. system shutdowns heh.
[19:24] <sori> sprung: I have an Ubuntu natively but I have sth to do with linux on vmware
[19:24] <kylejjjjj> ok well i guess i will read up :)
[19:24] <Dr_Willis> kylejjjjj:  of course if you can ssh in, you can send the shutdown command voer ssh also.
[19:25] <Dr_Willis> kylejjjjj:  ssh is also VERY worth learning all about
[19:25] <sprung> sori, what is sth? i never heard of it and google isnt throwing up anything obvious
[19:25] <whateverDever> if i change my root user password to 'root' for ssh how long until some1 hacks and gains access?
[19:25] <whateverDever> this is a server with no firewall
[19:26] <infinitus> whateverDever: very quickly
[19:26] <LSeactuary> helooooooooooooooo
[19:26] <bonjoyee> whateverDever: give me ur ip  and i tell u;)
[19:26] <xnox> I have /var/backups/apt.extended_states.0 where is *original* location for that file? /var/lib/apt/extended_states ?
[19:26] <jchase520> LOL
[19:26] <whateverDever> im just bored thought i might try it
[19:26] <sprung> sori, and i have loads of experience running linux on vmware in the vCenter environment so i think you might not be making yourself clear enough
[19:26] <whateverDever> i can reinstall the server if some1 gets in and changes the root pass
[19:26] <whateverDever> honepot
[19:26] <whateverDever> honeypot*\

[19:27] <deddly> infinitus: I think it's in the wrong place - I need the file in /home/currentuser
[19:27] <sprung> sori: before we continue i need to know what is: "sti"
[19:27] <sprung> oops
[19:27] <sprung> sori: before we continue i need to know what is: "sth"
[19:27] <ruif13> hi, i've toshiba a660 17j with last ubuntu and kernel version and the problem is in the  hotkeys, doesn't light on .. anyone have the same problem?
[19:27] <bonjoyee>  whateverDever: ok then do it and keep watching /var/log/auth;
[19:27] <whateverDever> yep
[19:27] <bonjoyee>  whateverDever: ;)
[19:28] <whateverDever> what would that chinese or russian hacker do after getting in?
[19:28] <whateverDever> have a victory tug?
[19:28] <Weedo> insert a furry hat
[19:28] <Dr_Willis> whateverDever:  install a mail server to send spam
[19:28] <infinitus> deddly: hmm, try 'touch ~/.asoundrc' . i guess you created the file in the wrong folder
[19:28] <sprung> sori: sori> sprung: I have an Ubuntu natively but I have sth to do with linux on vmware
[19:28] <sprung> sori: what is sth?
[19:29] <sori> sprung: in this case I dont insist ubuntu, sth means here runnig cvs. apache, make. and apertium
[19:29] <sori> sprung: sth = something
[19:29] <sori> sprung: I wonder if gentoo would be a good option
[19:29] <Weedo> puppy?
[19:29] <Lantchips> whats the difference between a symbolic link and a hard link ?
[19:29] <whateverDever> when i see their ip addy in logs, its not really theirs right? surely the use another compromised machine for their dictionairy attacks
[19:29] <sprung> sori, i am having problems understanding your question. can you repeat it, focusing on clarity?
[19:30] <Cha0s> how do i delete the keyrings on 10.10? i have already set it to not ask for password on log in but it still does. i would like to set it up where the only time password is needed is for installing packages or for sudo
[19:30] <Dr_Willis> Lantchips:  a hard link IS identical to the file/original name..  a soft link is a pointer to the original file/data
[19:30] <ClaireClay> 1,2,3, testing
[19:31] <Cha0s> anyone?
[19:31] <ClaireClay> hi
[19:31] <Dr_Willis> Cha0s:  thats not exactly the same thing.  the keyring can store passwords for other apps.. you can set where the keyring unlocks automatically. but if a program wants a password (that can be saved in the keyring) it will still ask.  The packae manager system does not use the keyring at all that ive seen.
[19:31] <elias79> can i get hadware sound in virtualbox
[19:31] <LEX> HELLO
[19:31] <bonjoyee> Dr_Willis:  so a hard link occupies same amount of space on disk?
[19:32] <deddly> infinitus: It's so wierd, I can't see .asoundrc
[19:32] <KM0201> elias79: you should
[19:32] <Dr_Willis> bonjoyee:  a hard link IS the original data.
[19:32] <Dr_Willis> bonjoyee:  same data/part of the HD. just 2 names  for the same stuff
[19:32] <sori> sprung: I need a lightweight dist. of linux to be installed on vmware! that's all! less disc space! less memory usage! and It would be very nice to include Gnome but if Gnome would want much disk space I can tollerate a lighter environment
[19:32] <LSeactuary> helooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
[19:32] <Lantchips> so can u tell me what this command does ? Someone did for me a couple of months ago : ln -s /usr/local/MATLAB/bin/matlab /usr/bin
[19:33] <suv> hello
[19:33] <bonjoyee> Dr_Willis:so no duplicate copies right?
[19:33] <Dr_Willis> bonjoyee:  a hard link IS the original data.
[19:33] <ClaireClay> i need to use signs such as ?,^ on ubuntu but i can't does anyone know how to solve this?
[19:33] <erUSUL> Lantchips: it links the matlab binary to somewhere that is in your pPATH so you can call it from everywhere
[19:33] <bonjoyee> ok thanks..
[19:33] <thomc> How can I get ubuntu to warn me when the battery on my laptop has dropped to a certain level of charge, say 40%?
[19:33] <Cha0s> Dr_Willis ok i think i understand what you are saying. see i just had to do a reinstall to setup dual boot and lost all my settings and all but before the only time i had to enter a password was for update manager, synaptecs and such or if i used sudo in terminal. but i cannot remember or find how to get my settings back to that. can you maybe help?
[19:33]  * sori is checking distrowatch.com
[19:33] <Lantchips> yay \o/ finally what I have been looking for
[19:34] <Windowed> can't browse my windows network since I installed Samba, does anyone know why?
[19:34] <bonjoyee> sori: got the podcast links u wanted?
[19:34] <shcherbak> thomc: acpi and zenity and any player in bash script
[19:34] <Dr_Willis> Cha0s:   what you described is not the default for how ubuntu worked.. Unless you did some serious tweaking.
[19:34] <slgma> anyone got a link to a guide to remove unnecesary processes to speed up ubuntu
[19:34] <infinitus> deddly: weird, if ls -al shows that it's there means it's created
[19:34] <deddly> infinitus: ok this is embarrasing...I found it, sorry - was looking at folders not files (blush)
[19:34] <LSeactuary> can someone help me pleasE?
[19:34] <infinitus> deddly: lol! okay.
[19:34] <Lantchips> whats the opposite of ln then ?
[19:34] <Dr_Willis> slgma:  theres really not a lot to delete. but if you wanted a lighter desktop you could try lubuntu.
[19:34] <TrickyJ> Ronnie
[19:35] <slgma> well im happy with my desktop Dr_Willis
[19:35] <slgma> but in the taskmanager
[19:35] <slgma> seems like theres alot of crap i dont need
[19:35] <Dr_Willis> LSeactuary:  state the problem to the channel.
[19:35] <slgma> but i dont know whats safe to remove
[19:35] <suv> LSeactuary: hey ya of course
