[00:00] <chairmao> but they just say update flash
[00:00] <chairmao> and on chromium
[00:00] <ehw> Right so echo '$hostname' literally prints $hostname
[00:00] <juken> ehw: '' makes it literal
[00:00] <ehw> juken: Correct
[00:01] <juken> ehw: wasn't sure if you were asking a question or telling someone else, sorry :P
[00:01] <SlickT10> my touchpad freezes after resuming from sleep and never comes back till I restart. What can I do?
[00:01] <ehw> juken: Hehe
[00:01] <chairmao> really annoying because sometimes it works
[00:02] <cayne> ehw: and that is where my problem started... I question if I should even be playing around with scripting an entire server installation if I have a hard time getting something so simple to work...
[00:02] <ehw> juken: Need to remember to include usernames, it's a busy channel ;)
[00:02] <juken> ehw: indeed, lots of traffic, hehe
[00:02] <Suit_Of_Sables> does anyone know what repo LAME is in? apt-get install lame  can't find it with the default repos
[00:02] <ehw> cayne: gotta start somewhere!
[00:03] <juken> cayne: what language?
[00:03] <cayne> ehw: bash
[00:03] <juken> ah
[00:03] <cayne> juken: bash
[00:03] <juken> cayne: I find O'Reilly books to be great resources :)
[00:04] <cayne> ehw: yeah but if I make a mistake while setting up certificates, installing services and applications en masse, and the like I could imagine I would have a nightmare tracking down the bugs that will inevitably pop up
[00:04] <Reallycool> sfill seems to have frozen up, how can I get it to work?
[00:04] <cayne> juken: I have actually seen a couple of those before... I might need to look into getting my paws on the BASH one
[00:05] <high-rez> Back again.  I cannot figure out for the life of my what the 'correct' way is to obtain the /exact/ kernel source for the version i'm running including the version magic - so that I can build a kernel module against the specific version of the kernel i'm currently running (which is likely to be an older version than what is current in ubuntu).  Any of you know how this would be achieved ?
[00:05] <ehw> cayne: True enough; otoh doing it all by hand each time can introduce other unexpectedness
[00:06] <jongbergs> !topic
[00:07] <cayne> ehw: yeah... I've done it by hand like 5 times in the past week and I keep wiping it and redoing it trying to get it to play nicely with what I want it to do
[00:07] <gerrin> anybody know any Gba and/or N64 emulators that will work in 10.10 without and compiling or configuring
[00:08] <jongbergs> hi, i'm considering to setup network monitoring software which do you recommend among the tw? Nagios vs OpenNMS..thanks for you opinion.
[00:08] <xangua> gerrin: look at software centre
[00:08]  * ehw heading out, night all
[00:09] <gerrin> i have looked, and all of them have very choppy audio
[00:09] <cayne> anyone willing to take a look at my horrible mess of a script before I call it working and throw it into action? I'd love a few extra sets of eyes that are not bash rookies like me to check it out and tell me what I screwed up on? http://pastebin.com/FVm8K4R8

[00:13] <rhin0> silly one -- ubuntu 10.04 "click to show appointments or tasks" irritatingly covers the clock display even when the mouse isn't on it -- is there any other clock with seconds -- or a way to disable this?
[00:13] <skutr3> hey im installing ubuntu using 64gb how big should swap be???
[00:13] <xangua> Unigy compile a newer version or upgrade your distro
[00:13] <rhin0> just covers the clock -- look at the clock "click to show appointnmetns or tasks" covering it
[00:13] <Unirgy> xangua it is 10.04.1 LTS - shouldn't be fine?

[00:21] <Tohuw> Has anyone successfully installed redmine using postfix for the email backend? If so, can I take a gander at your email.yml?
[00:21] <Polah> Would I be right in understanding that the minimal install has the kernel, a command line and nothing else?
[00:21] <Polah> or thereabouts
[00:24] <Reallycool> sfill seems to have frozen up, how can I get it to work?
[00:24] <Tohuw> Polah: The minimal install contains significantly more than that. Its primary purpose is to not include packages in the image. Rather, it downloads them all using a text-based installer. See http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal to get an idea.

[01:07] <DOOX> it was ok when i first use it , but after awhile it feels like something wrong
[01:07] <RobotCow> DOOX -> otherwise, how did you install flash?
[01:07] <mickster04> StepNjump: this is ubuntu support, you don't have a problem with ubuntu
[01:07] <xangua> DOOX: try the 64bit plugin of flash, repositories install 32bit

[01:08] <Alfastar> hi
[01:08] <DOOX> yeah i did
[01:08] <mickster04> Logan_: not really, he is asking about something ubuntu doesn't really do, and he hasn't got a problem, he wants to know what else is an option. this channel isn't about that?
[01:09] <Logan_> mickster04: there is nothing wrong with that
[01:09] <Krycek> free help
[01:09] <RobotCow> DOOX -> I suspect you had installed it through ubuntu graphical user interface
[01:09] <mickster04> Logan_: except this is a support channe;
[01:09] <mickster04> Logan_: for when things break
[01:09] <darkstar> my wireless is always disable ,how to deal with
[01:09] <RobotCow> DOOX -> which gives you flash through certain packages
[01:09] <Logan_> omid: /join #opensuse
[01:10] <RobotCow> DOOX -> there is a better way to do it and it's been working good with me for a long time
[01:10] <mickster04> darkstar: can you turn it on ever? or do you just mean on boot up? have you checked the BIOS
[01:10] <Jordan_U> omid: If you can boot Ubuntu then just run "sudo update-grub" in Ubuntu.
[01:10] <DOOX> yeah i think something like that , you know i am new to linux so you have to be patient for me :)
[01:10] <Jordan_U> omid: If you can't boot Ubuntu follow this guide from a LiveCD: http://grub.enbug.org/Grub2LiveCdInstallGuide
[01:10] <RobotCow> DOOX -> so i suggest you remove all packages like flashplugin-installer flashplugin-nonfree
[01:11] <DOOX> ok
now both my ubuntu and windows7 works fine like before but i couldnt see a suse option in the grub.
[01:11] <RobotCow> DOOX -> once all flash packages are removed
[01:11] <recursion> Im having an issue in 10.10 where regular users dont have priveledges for removable media (memory sticks/usb drives..etc.) --> what do i need to do to let regular users have the same access to removable media as the adminstrative user accounts have?
[01:11] <oneliner> having the /tmp directory owned by root, apache running as www-data user group, should i add root to www-data group or else how would i mix match users groups so both can write to /tmp?
[01:11] <RobotCow> DOOX -> you need one file flashplugin.so and I will find the link for you
[01:11] <Jordan_U> omid: Then run "sudo update-grub" in Ubuntu.
[01:11] <mickster04> recursion: settings>admin>users and groups?
[01:11] <DOOX> ok
 right now i'm using ubuntu. this screen shot shows the partition which i installed suse in . do you think i can fix it ? http://www.up.pnu-club.com/images/2vuzl8sp4ax2cy3mktm.png
[01:12] <fizy[laptop]> is there any way to set options for the login screen in lucid? specifically disabling clicking with the touchpad and enabling the ctrl alt backspace shortcut?
[01:12] <Jordan_U> omid: Again, just run "sudo update-grub" and come back if that doesn't add a SuSe entry to the grub menu.
[01:13] <omid> jordan_u thank you.

[01:36] <azizLIGHTS> is it safe to change my username? i want to change my /home/userdir name basically
[01:37] <jtrucks> azizLIGHTS: sure... change the directory, the uername in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, and fix the permissions on the directory
[01:37] <azizLIGHTS> what about programs and stuff
[01:37] <jtrucks> OR, if you just want to move your homedir, ust change it and copy/mv every there.
[01:38] <azizLIGHTS> what about ssh keys and stuff
[01:38] <azizLIGHTS> will i have to remake those
[01:38] <jtrucks> no.
[01:38] <azizLIGHTS> but they say ubuntu@myip
[01:38] <jtrucks> as long as the UID stays the same, IIRC
[01:38] <jtrucks> that doesn't matter. that's just a comment.
[01:39] <jtrucks> you still present the data from the same key and the same key is used on the other side.
[01:39] <azizLIGHTS> thats nice
[01:39] <azizLIGHTS> i do have root on the machine, maybe i should just make a new user?
[01:40] <promdog> test
[01:40] <azizLIGHTS> and move stuff there
[01:40] <promdog> If I am creating a class A  network with 8 Subnets, what shou my subnet mask be?
[01:41] <jtrucks> if you don't have root, you likely must make a new user or ask the admin.
[01:41] <jtrucks> you can't change your homedir
[01:41] <jtrucks> or username
[01:41] <jtrucks> without root
[01:41] <Pici> Or create a new user.
[01:41] <jtrucks> if you have sudo access, it's root enough :)
[01:42] <jtrucks> creating a new user is usually easier... just open perms on old user such that new user can read everything and copy to newuser's homedir tree as newuser (so perms are right)
[01:42] <azizLIGHTS> ok

[01:47] <fabio333> shift jey, tmandry
[01:47] <mickster04> Thedemon007: is that when it auto mounts the drives?

[01:48] <tmandry> fabio333: I tried that, didn't work. Look like I'm not using grub1, not 2 btw
[01:48] <giiker> how do I find out if I have Ubuntu x64 installed?
[01:49] <Thedemon007> yes mickster04
[01:49] <naryfa> is it possible to suppress those messages: user entered the room, user left the room, in here????
[01:49] <mickster04> Thedemon007: uhm then something is severly broken
[01:49] <tmandry> giiker: "uname -a" at the prompt, it should say x86_64 in there if you do
[01:49] <mickster04> naryfa: /ignore #ubuntu ignore join leave
[01:49] <Chelsea> isn't that uname -a?
[01:49] <tmandry> fabio333: am using 1, not 2*
[01:49] <Thedemon007> aff no mickster04 is this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/581883/ the other is manual mount
[01:50] <randomuser> is there some reason (outside of a hardware flub) i can't get a console on the 10.04x32 installer?
[01:50] <mickster04> Thedemon007: can you see it in windows?
[01:50] <naryfa> mickster04: it says there's no such command
[01:50] <fabio333> tmandry, so there is a grub.cfg in the /boot folder
[01:50] <mickster04> naryfa: oh what client are you using?
[01:50] <naryfa> uhm, finch
[01:50] <mickster04> Thedemon007: how did you try an mount it?
[01:50] <fabio333> /boot/menu something like that i can't remember
[01:50] <mickster04> naryfa: no idea, i use irssi
[01:51] <naryfa> mickster04: oh, but thanks for trying :)
[01:51] <Thedemon007> yes i can use flash drive in other machine with ubuntu
[01:51] <tmandry> fabio333: mmk thanks
[01:51] <Thedemon007> sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdd /mnt
[01:51] <ivanBliminse> Does anyone know how to disable autofill forms in firefox 3.6.15 for ubuntu 10.04??
[01:51] <randomuser> you know, "Ctrl+Alt+F(x)" ??
[01:52] <mickster04> ivanBliminse: edit>preferences

[01:52] <giiker> tmandry: let me try it...
[01:52] <ivanBliminse> mickster04: where at, i've looked all through it and cant find it
[01:52] <fabio333> i got a brand-new hp g62... got rid of win 7 after a couple of days.... after a a month... something went wrong
[01:52] <mickster04> ivanBliminse: no idea,l i don't use ff, but it should be about there really
[01:52] <Thedemon007> yes i can use flash drive in other machine with ubuntu mickster04
[01:52] <fabio333> my laptop shuts down by itself
[01:52] <mickster04> ivanBliminse: also try about:config
[01:53] <giiker> tmandry: thanks that worked...!!!
[01:53] <Thedemon007> sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdd /mnt mickster04
[01:53] <ruan> fabio333: do you think it could be overheating?
[01:53] <fabio333> no... i'm using sensor and the temp is under 40°
[01:53] <Stevethepirate> fabio333: Don't always trust sensors.
[01:53] <fabio333> by now: temp1:       +38.0°C  (crit = +90.0°C)
[01:53] <naryfa> syrinx_: same thing, no such command, maybe I'm typing something wrong, not a big deal I guess
[01:54] <tankant> I would like to ask.... How many Chinese people are  in this place ?
[01:54] <fabio333> i thinnk this budget laptop is crap
[01:54] <jtrucks> anyone know the approx upgrade time needed for 8.04LTS to 10.04LTS? (it's a really fat pipe on the server, so download time is fairly minimal)
[01:54] <mickster04> Thedemon007: uhm, so are you sure it's vfat and have you tried not mounting it there? is it definitely /dev/ssd?
[01:54] <naryfa> fabio333: I learned that most budget things are crap, but that doesn't mean I'm rich lol
[01:56] <Thedemon007> I'm not sure to be vfat but if it is /dev/sdd mickster04
[01:56] <fabio333> what about ubuntu and the warranty?
[01:56] <mkquist> jtrucks: im of the opinion that its faster and easier just to reinstall new version...
[01:56] <EClaesson> Are there any installers/distros that can install on a pc with windows installed without a need of reinstalling windows? I read about some some time ago, but of what i heard they weren fully stable/safe
[01:56] <jtrucks> mkquist: I don't have that option. it's a remote server and it's production.
[01:57] <syrinx_> EClaesson: WUBI
[01:57] <jtrucks> every in place upgrade I've done has worked without issues so far.
[01:57] <naryfa> fabio333: what's wrong with it?
[01:57] <mickster04> Thedemon007: well basically the mount command is wrong is what it is saying...but the problem is that you are missing some major part of ubuntu that deals with usb, what did you do recently
[01:57] <Shkodrani> Samsung I9000 =-> android IRC =-> wireless connection =-> freenode =-> good result ;-)
[01:57] <Thedemon007> I've compiled my own kernel may be that this is my config file http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/581876/
[01:58] <jrmcm> EClaesson: I installed ubuntu next to win 7 no reinstall needed, just popped in the install cd and then partioned my drive
[01:58] <fabio333> naryfa, maybe ubuntu caused the damage to the system
[01:58] <mickster04> Thedemon007: well then i don't know how to fix it. but that'll probably be why it's broken, the kernel has usb drivers
[01:58] <researcher1> i want to creat space in my hard drive.How can I do that without harming the installed prgrams?
[01:58] <Thedemon007> http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-814657.html <mickster04>
[01:59] <syrinx_> fabio333: doubt that
[01:59] <naryfa> fabio333: I'm sorry I wasn't reading before that, do you mind repeating what is the problem?
[01:59] <jrmcm> Is there a vm channel?
[01:59] <jtrucks> researcher1: delete old logs or unused tmp files
[01:59] <fabio333> nayfa the problem is that my hp g62 shts down by itself
[01:59] <xangua> researcher1: there is always a risk, make a coppy of your important data
[01:59] <mickster04> Thedemon007: what am i looking at?
[01:59] <fabio333> seems to be an hardware issue
[02:00] <xangua> ooh didn't read well :S
[02:00] <EClaesson> Thanks syrinx_
[02:00] <syrinx_> fabio333: maybe the fan is stuck
[02:00] <fabio333> i can hear it
[02:00] <jtrucks> researcher1: find the offending directories with the most space and see what isn't needed by doing cd /; du -sm * | sort -n
[02:00] <aroman> hey, does nautilus ever automatically create any folders?
[02:01] <naryfa> fabio333: can you still return it?
[02:01] <syrinx_> aroman: not that I know of
[02:01] <fabio333> i suppose so
[02:01] <syrinx_> fabio333: HP is usually cool about that kind of stuff
[02:01] <naryfa> fabio333: then don't wait
[02:01] <aroman> syrinx_: I suspect it's creating a folder called `Desktop` in $HOME
[02:01] <ruan> lol
[02:02] <ruan> desktop is created on install
[02:02] <aroman> yes naturally
[02:02] <aroman> i'm aware of that, lol
[02:02] <syrinx_> lol
[02:02] <ruan> and it is placed in home
[02:02] <aroman> i was asking the question because it's interfering with my remaster of ubuntu
[02:03] <aroman> i've set XDG to sepcifically NOT create a desktop folder, yet it pops up on the livecd anyhow
[02:03] <aroman> yet when you `adduser`, or install the system, the folder is gone as it should be
[02:03] <aroman> my suspicion is that nautilus caches something before xdg can get to it.
[02:03] <naryfa> fabio333: what's the exact model of your laptop
[02:03] <fabio333> by now i'm using it with the battery plugged
[02:04] <jrmcm> Is there a vm channel?
[02:04] <fabio333> and uptime says "02:59:42 up  1:56,  2 users,  load average: 0.08, 0.09, 0.06" .. so far so good
[02:04] <jrmcm> or a virtual box channel?
[02:04] <fabio333> naryfa, hp g2 b02sl
[02:05] <ruan> jrmcm: #virtualbox    im not sure if its active though
[02:05] <ruan> jrmcm: 230 users

[02:09] <fisix> hey! does anybody know how to switch the icons between and within the system tray (notification area / indicator applet)?
[02:10] <Da|Mummy> what are people using to check sfv files?
[02:11] <ruan> Da|Mummy: cksfv
[02:11] <Da|Mummy> using terminal?
[02:12] <ruan> yes
[02:12] <Da|Mummy> anything with a nice gui?
[02:12] <Da|Mummy> im still stuck on QuickSFV with wine
[02:12] <fabio333> good nite... see you soon
[02:14] <ruan> Da|Mummy: closest thing i could find to a gui was a ftp client that supports sfv checking
[02:15] <Da|Mummy> ok i guess im sticking to quicksfv with wine...thx
[02:15] <jrmcm> fisix: right click on applet, uncheck lock to panel, then move or remove to hearts content
[02:16] <TechniCore> Is it possible/safe to install both 10.10 and 11.04 at once?
[02:16] <TechniCore> on one system i mean
[02:16] <edbian> TechniCore, sure
[02:16] <edbian> TechniCore, If you have enough hdd space you could install 200 different linux distros
[02:16] <fisix> jrmcm, i'm trying to move the icons themselves. like the internet icon right beside the volume icon
[02:17] <TechniCore> Because I remember a friend telling me that the two installations can't detect eachother
[02:17] <dustin> anyone of you folks know much about compileing programs like Tor ?
[02:17] <fisix> jrmcm, unlocking to move only allows switching the notification area and indicator applet back and forth as groups
[02:18] <edbian> TechniCore, They can 'detect' each other but you can't be running more than one Operating System at a time so they only 'detect' each others files which is harmless.
[02:18] <ruan> !compiling | dustin
[02:19] <jrmcm> fisix: there are different "themes" that move the indicators around within each group.
[02:20] <dustin> thanks ruan brb gonna view the site i still gotta find the folder its in :(
[02:21] <matt___> I don't know where to ask so I figured I'd ask this nice group of smart people. I want to utilize some sort of plugin/web software/etc to automatically sell something via paypal, after payment, automatically reach into a mysql database and email a unique PIN to the purchaser...
[02:23] <fisix> matt___, make a php page to do that?
[02:23] <matt___> fisix: Well....I was hoping for something already done, but I have been leaning towards just getting started on that. I'm not sure how it'd work verifying with paypal, but I guess that's the fun part;)
[02:25] <fisix> matt___, me neither. maybe there's some open source code out there that does the job or similar. good luck!
[02:25] <matt___> fisix: Well..I've found a thing or two...but really I'm wanting to get it to work within TomatoCart...this seems to be an awesome piece of stuff right there...
[02:27] <fisix> matt___, tomatocart looks neat!
[02:28] <matt___> fisix: It is based, I believe, on one of those OS's that runs in an internet browser...and it does everything. IF I can just get this to work, I can use it for my entire webstore. See...the problem with me and custom coding PHP is it will be different than the rest of my webstore....I want to use something like TomatoCart, OScommerce, ecwid, etc.
[02:30] <matt___> fisix: Maybe the simplest thing to do would be to setup a "download" of instructions on what to do with the PIN, and then write a bash, etc on my desktop that all I have to do is enter email after email and it will grab the stuff from a mysql and email it from my desktop
[02:31] <amusselm_> Hello. I'm having issues with BCM4306 wireless. I enabled the propitary drivers through the GUI, but network-manager still says the device is missing it's firmware

[02:32] <matt___> fisix: OR if I could have a system that just allows me to upload 500 images, each with a unique pin, and let 1 customer download 1 image after purchase, and then never download that image again....but I like the record keeping ability of mysql
[02:32] <fisix> matt___, an OS can't run in an internet browser... but maybe a shell script with some php could do the job!

[02:51] <eristikophiles> mickster04- i used phonon to prefer the device
[02:52] <eristikophiles> and turned the volume up in kmix
[02:52] <fisix> matt___, ohhh like a cloud / networked os1

[02:55] <futr_vision> Yes. Not sure if i should use Ext4 etc. or Fat32 which i am more accustomed too.

[02:57] <futr_vision> Ok. Just wasn't sure.
[02:57] <mickster04> futr_vision: definitely ext4 over fat32, but if you need it to work with windows make a partition with ntfs,
[02:57] <Thedemon007> ericy http://pastebin.com/9u5mSAvh
[02:57] <joshmclvl1> soul, that is pretty overwhelming. Of course I'm running xmonad and xmobar so It's next to nothing in comparison ;)
[02:58] <futr_vision> Got one more Q too. I've already got WinXP and Server 2003 installed on their own drives. I'm install Ubuntu now on its own drive(hopefully). Is there anything special I need to do?
[02:58] <soul> Lol, Joshmclvl1... I have compiz and emerald going too... I love helping people set up nice desktops.... Belial, urs looks SUPER nice and clean
[02:58] <ericy> Thedemon007: What is that from?
[02:59] <mickster04> futr_vision: not really, follow the on screen instructions :p
[02:59] <jrtayloriv> When I try to put a Windows recovery disk into my CD-ROM drive (on either of my Ubuntu laptops), it makes a bunch of whirring and clicking noises but generally won't mount the disk. By insert-eject-repeating I have gotten it to mount once, but it generally won't. I get the following from dmesg when I pop it in: http://pastebin.com/6pmVJXFG
[02:59] <futr_vision> leave mount point blank?
[02:59] <jrtayloriv> Really I'm just interested in mounting the disk image so that I can run it in qemu
[02:59] <joshmclvl1> futr_vision: you'll probably be ok, but I'd let someone else more knowledgeable answer first.
[03:00] <mickster04> futr_vision: nope
[03:00] <jrtayloriv> Is there any way that I could use dd to pull the contents of the disk, even if I can't mount it properly?
[03:00] <mickster04> futr_vision: if it's just one big partition for the whole thing use /
[03:00] <Aginor> futr_vision, be very sure you select the right disk if you repartition/wipe things
[03:00] <Thedemon007> blkid | pastebinit ericy
[03:00] <ericy> Thedemon007: OK, the last pastebin was output of blkid command.  Show me sfdisk -l  with your 4GB usb stick plugged in.
[03:01] <ericy> Thedemon007: OK, the last pastebin was output of blkid command.  Show me sfdisk -l  with your 4GB usb stick plugged in.
[03:01] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, yes, there's many alternatives for you
[03:01] <jrtayloriv> Aginor, What would be the easiest way for me to just make an ISO image?
[03:01] <futr_vision> I think I am only going to use one partition unless there is a better option. I do plan on copying web pages from the Server 2003 install over to Ubuntu and vice versa.
[03:01] <Thedemon007> sfdisk -l no show nothing
[03:01] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, but you will most likely end up dumping the entire disk/filesystem to a file
[03:01] <Thedemon007> sfdisk -l no show nothing ericy
[03:02] <jrtayloriv> Aginor, That's fine with me, as long as I can create a mountable ISO image from it.
[03:02] <ericy> Thedemon007: sudo sfdisk -l
[03:02] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, proper ISO file system or a general disk image?
[03:02] <ruan> i want to install usplash. i cant do it from terminal, and synaptic suggests that i remove ALL of my packages first
[03:02] <ericy> Thedemon007: Run the command: sudo sfdisk -l
[03:02] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, are you getting read errors from the disk?
[03:02] <futr_vision> Aginor, that is something i fear doing but I think I have it. I am planning on installing on the only drive not showing NTFS.
[03:02] <Thedemon007> http://pastebin.com/v4gCjZGF ericy
[03:03] <giiker> exit
[03:03] <Aginor> futr_vision, if you want to be certain, unplug the other drives :D
[03:03] <jrtayloriv> Aginor, Yes, if "Buffer I/O error" is what you mean: --> http://pastebin.com/6pmVJXFG
[03:03] <futr_vision> aginor, I guess that is a pretty full proof way of doing it
[03:04] <ericy> Thedemon007: See the /dev/sdd1 , that is what you should mount...
[03:04] <ruan> how can i install usplash without removing all of my packages
[03:04] <Aginor> futr_vision, that's what I do on the rare occasions I need to install windows. windows have eaten too many of my partitions for me to even let it touch my real OS
[03:04] <ericy> Thedemon007: .. but tell me what you have installed on it ?
[03:04] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, that looks like an unhappy disk :D
[03:04] <xlord> i have a question, is any one can help. i use tcpdump to get
[03:05] <futr_vision> Am I going to be able to share files between Server 2003 and Ubuntu?
[03:06] <noob> why can't i sudo aptitude install lekhonee-gnome in ubuntu 10.10
[03:06] <xlord> i have a question , is any one can help. i use tcpdump to get dns packet, but i only can get response packet, no query packet
[03:06] <jrtayloriv> Aginor, Do you have any idea why I would have been able to get it to mount once though?
[03:06] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, I would recommend that you try to use ddrescue http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html on the relevant partition of your device
[03:06] <soul> noob sudo
[03:06] <xlord> is anyone knows why
[03:06] <knightrage> i'm running 2.6.32-28-generic... how can i find out if my SATA hard drives are hot-swappable?
[03:06] <android2> I have a quick question.  If I have two volumes on my hard disk and have windows 7 on one and ubuntu on the other, what is the best way to remove ubuntu?
[03:06] <jrtayloriv> Aginor, OK -- I'll look into that. Thanks for your help.
[03:06] <soul> noob: sudo aptitude install <package>
[03:06] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, if it's a cd, you might have a dirty laser in the device, the cd or dvd might be dirty/scratched
[03:07] <noob> soul, sudo aptitude install lekhonee-gnome umet deps
[03:07] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, you could try to carefully wipe it off with a microfiber cloth, from the centre and out, not in circles
[03:07] <Thedemon007> ericy i believe what is a problem of kernel i compiled my kernel
[03:07] <jrtayloriv> Aginor, The CD is brand new, no scratches. I just got it in the mail. I'll try to take out the CD drive and clean it out.
[03:07] <soul> noob: you must configure ur depostories
[03:08] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, have you tried it in a different cd?
[03:08] <ericy> Thedemon007: Oh, yes I remember you discuss it with another person..
[03:08] <ruan> how can i install a usplash theme without usplash installed?
[03:08] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, try a different drive first, is my recommendation
[03:09] <ericy> Thedemon007: ...but can you (or do you want to) try another  usb stick ?
[03:09] <jrtayloriv> Aginor -- Actually, I just had a brain fart. It's happening on two different laptops, so it's unlikely to be the disk drive.
[03:09] <jrtayloriv> It's probably a corrupt CD. Which would make sense that Gateway would send me one, considering how crappy their hardware is.
[03:09] <jrtayloriv> It's only fitting that their software is the same quality as my laptop.
[03:09] <Thedemon007> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/581876/ my cofig file ericy
[03:10] <Thedemon007> yes i can
[03:10] <Thedemon007> yes i can ericy
[03:10] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, it might have some nasty copy protection on it that confuses the operating systems as well
[03:10] <nsh_> what's the difference between *-desktop-* and *-alternative-* releases?
[03:10] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, but dodgy cd sounds like a good theory :)
[03:11] <jrtayloriv> Aginor, I'll try ddrescue and come back and whine some more if that doesn't work :) thanks again.
[03:11] <soul> nsh: alternive is not as packed as Desktop veriosns
[03:11] <nsh_> *alternate
[03:11] <Thedemon007> i believe is this i have # CONFIG_NLS_CODEPAGE_437 is not set
[03:11] <nsh_> hmm
[03:11] <soul> nsh: its more "light"
[03:11] <ericy> Thedemon007: Your last pastebin (581876), I saw already, but its too complicated for me.
[03:11] <nsh_> oh, ok
[03:11] <xangua> text install nsh_
[03:11] <Aginor> jrtayloriv, it'll take long and you probably have to run it several times, so you have been warned
[03:11] <xangua> is not more light, installs the same soul
[03:12] <nsh_> (they're the same approx size)
[03:12] <soul> xangua... so what is the difference tehn?
[03:12] <xangua> soul: text install....said it twice
[03:12] <robdig> alternative is text install, desktop is gui
[03:12] <soul> xangua: gotcha... learned something new
[03:12] <soul> thanks
[03:12] <nsh_> oh ok
[03:12] <ericy> Thedemon007: Do you have Ubuntu installed on the 4 GB usb stick? (PS: Right now I am running Lubuntu 'Live-CD' on a 4GB usb stick.)
[03:12] <nsh_> so it doesn't matter really
[03:13] <Thedemon007> ericy i need reboot i install kernel 2.6.35-27
[03:13] <ericy> OK. See you later.
[03:13] <nsh_> and will wubi blow up if i rename *alternate* to *desktop* because it doesn't seem to care that i have the former locally
[03:13] <nsh_> assume not
[03:13] <ericy> Thedemon007: OK. See you later.
[03:14] <TechniCore> bye
[03:14] <aroman> what in Ubuntu's livecd causes a "Desktop" folder to be created in the livecd desktop user's home folder?
[03:14] <xangua> nsh_: i preffer a real install
[03:15] <nsh_> me too, but i cba to go find a stick/dvd
[03:15] <nsh_> will redo it when i get back home :)
[03:15] <ericy> aroman: An act of God, I suppose.
[03:15] <aroman> ..
[03:15] <nsh_> 13 hour coach journey tomorrow, would rather be messing around in linux than windows :)
[03:16] <Thedemon007> Hello
[03:16] <joshmclvl1> aroman: do you prefer to use the user's home folder for desktop? there is a setting in gconf-editor for that, methinks.
[03:16] <ericy> nsh_: If your coach is a B-747, you can be in Tokyo by tommorrow!
[03:16] <memorygap0> hello everyone. how can i add this manually on repo
[03:17] <aroman> joshmclvl1: I have already set the two gconf keys for nautilus that I'm aware of to do that. I also set XDG's user directory defaults to not include the desktop
[03:17] <memorygap0> ppa:ubuntu-on-rails/ppa
[03:17] <nsh_> ericy, inspiring... ;)
[03:17] <aroman> and in fact, when `adduser`ing, the new user has no Desktop folder.
[03:17] <xangua> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-on-rails/ppa
[03:17] <joshmclvl1> aroman: interesting.
[03:17] <xangua> memorygap0:
[03:17] <aroman> it would seem that SOMETHING is causing the Desktop folder to be created
[03:17] <memorygap0> xangua: i get command not found
[03:18] <xangua> memorygap0: what version of ubuntu are you using¿
[03:18] <Zelozelos> when using 2 monitors is there a way to switch monitor 1's workspace with out switching #2's?
[03:18] <jimmy_birer> yes
[03:18] <memorygap0> xangua:how can i check the version
[03:18] <jimmy_birer> Zelozelos
[03:18] <aroman> joshmclvl1: yeah, it's very strange. I'd be happy removing it by hand when the live environment runs, but I don't know how I can reliably do that
[03:18] <futr_vision> Hmm. Quit my install of Ubuntu, pulled the USB  to disconnect Server 2003 and WinXP drives. Pulled the USB drive I am installing from as well. Get and error. Plug in the Server 2003 and WindXP drives and it won't boot into those systems.  Did i screw something up?

[03:18] <Thedemon007> ericy kernel kernel 6.2.1935-27 work well the pendrive is very possible that I have compiled the kernel wrong

[03:19] <ruan> which formats of images will grub bootloader accept?
[03:19] <needlez> hi, i wrote this script (  http://pastie.org/1685010  ) however it passes both those commands to the correct area, my only thing is I would like it to pass those first two commands to that log file 10 times, but after the tenth time remove the first time it logged and replace it with the eleventh log, second replaced with 12th log, and so forth. any way to do this?
[03:19] <ruan> only tga or does it support more?
[03:20] <needlez> ruan: tga, png
[03:20] <memorygap0> xangua: ubuntu 9.04
[03:20] <jimmy_birer> needlez,facepalm
[03:20] <xangua> memorygap0: upgrade to a stable and supported version
[03:20] <needlez> jimmy_birer: why?
[03:20] <xangua> 9.04 is no longer supported
[03:20] <jimmy_birer> why not | instead of >>?
[03:20] <memorygap0> xangua: im using andlinux on xp
[03:20] <ruan> needlez: anything else?
[03:21] <aroman> jimmy_birer: he doesn't want |.
[03:21] <wjw> I am running Ubuntu server.  It sees the Internet fine (can ping www.whitehouse.gov).  Sources.list looks quite like the one on my desktop Ubuntu system.  But when I run aptitude, it shows only "obsolete and locally created packages" and "virtual packages".  Is this normal?
[03:21] <Zelozelos> jimmy_birer, theres no option 2 do that am i missing something?
[03:21] <aroman> it's redirecting stdout
[03:21] <memorygap0> xangua: just to play with linux envi
[03:22] <memorygap0> xangua:  can i add that manuality on source list?
[03:22] <needlez> jimmy_birer: um do realize that my command is to add both those to the same log file, how could I do that with pipe last time it just pipped one command to the log file not both
[03:22] <jimmy_birer> wjw,ahahahahah
[03:22] <Thedemon007> the config file of  2.6.35-27 http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/581908/
[03:22] <jimmy_birer> give us the sources.list
[03:22] <jimmy_birer> and tell us the system version

[03:23] <speedrunnerG55> yaaaayyy chrome works with youtube videos!!
[03:24] <Belial`> speedrunnerG55, were you getting a black screen before?
[03:24] <jimmy_birer> speedrunnerG55,is that a surprise for you?
[03:24] <speedrunnerG55> a white screen
[03:24] <ericy> ubottu: In alphabetical order, are you android, bot, clone, robot or human?
[03:24] <Belial`> speedrunnerG55, what did you do to fix it?
[03:24] <speedrunnerG55> i was able to hear the videos and tnot see them for 2 weeks now
[03:24] <hiexpo> hola all
[03:25] <speedrunnerG55> i put in a grafics card
[03:25] <speedrunnerG55> and enabled visual effects
[03:25] <futr_vision> on a triple boot sytem what device do you use for the boot loader?
[03:25] <speedrunnerG55> i dont know if it just updated
[03:25] <abstrakt> futr_vision, same as you would use for a dual boot
[03:25] <ruan> i hope this bootimage works
[03:25] <speedrunnerG55> because i aLSO INSTALLED UPDATES
[03:25] <jimmy_birer> im thinking about porting ubuntu to same440p
[03:25] <speedrunnerG55> ops caps
[03:25] <jimmy_birer> by acube
[03:26] <jimmy_birer> sam440ep*
[03:26] <futr_vision> abstrakt, which one is that? I've got XP and Server 2003 installed.
[03:26] <NikkiGrrl> glad there's a big group in here tonight....anyone good with bizarre problems? heheh
[03:27] <abstrakt> futr_vision, well I'm not sure how that is managed, you'll have to read the manual
[03:27] <wjw> jimmy_birer sources.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/581909/
[03:27] <wjw> jimmy_birer How do I get the sys version?
[03:27] <abstrakt> futr_vision, specifically you should read the manual regarding making a dual boot with two systems that are not both microsoft based, i.e. one MS and one Linux based
[03:27] <abstrakt> futr_vision, because you will most likely need to use a different boot loader, but it's still gonna go in basically the same place which is the MBR (master boot record)
[03:27] <abstrakt> futr_vision, http://gog.is/windows/ubuntu/dual/boot
[03:28] <jimmy_birer> wjw
[03:28] <jimmy_birer> tell us which
[03:28] <jimmy_birer> 9.04
[03:28] <jimmy_birer> 10.10
[03:28] <FloodBot1> jimmy_birer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:28] <jimmy_birer> or what
[03:28] <ericy> NikkiGrrl: I certainly think so (but its not me).
[03:28] <xiyazhao> 中国
[03:28] <NikkiGrrl> ahhh, thank you ericy
[03:28] <futr_vision> abstrakt, thanks. i was hoping i wouldn't have to do any reading beyind this chat :0
[03:28] <jimmy_birer> wjw,are you using lucid?
[03:28] <wjw> jimmy_birer Ubuntu 10.04.1 server
[03:28] <ericy> NikkiGrrl: What are you running  and running into?
[03:29] <abstrakt> futr_vision, here I'll make it easy for you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
[03:29] <jimmy_birer> wjw....upgrade to 10.10
[03:29] <wjw> By downloading the CD image?
[03:29] <jimmy_birer> no
[03:29] <NikkiGrrl> ericy : attempting to install onto an older thin client motherboard....it's definitely x86 based, but so far, any Ubuntu OS installed hangs at the login screen.....hard system halt, nothing in logs at all
[03:30] <jimmy_birer> wjw,enter in terminal=> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[03:30] <futr_vision> abstrakt, thanks. Already found that.
[03:30] <ericy> NikkiGrrl: Mmm..
[03:30] <NikkiGrrl> I have tried Ubuntu 10.04, Xubuntu 10.04, and even Ubuntu server 10.04 ....10.10 LiveCD insists the machine is not i386 compatible, but I know better, heh
[03:30] <rww> wjw: Ignore what jimmy_birer's saying, they're being odd.
[03:30] <ruan> ok i set the bootsplash image but it doesn't show the image when i boot
[03:30] <rww> wjw: Try "sudo apt-get update", it sounds like the package list isn't up to date and that will fix it.
[03:31] <jimmy_birer> rww,which better?
[03:31] <ruan> does the image have to be the same resolution as the screen?
[03:31] <jimmy_birer> no
[03:31] <wjw> Neither command did anything.  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[03:31] <ericy> NikkiGrrl: Maybe you should do a hardware diagnostic, like the memtest.
[03:32] <Abhijit> hi
[03:32] <rww> wjw: aptitude still says all packages are locally-installed?
[03:32] <hiexpo> !seen pure_hate
[03:32] <NikkiGrrl> Wonderful idea, ericy, which I already tried. All 512MB of onboard RAM are ok....and during the couple seconds I could get the machine running in command-line-only, top even said I have RAM free
[03:32] <wjw> rww, yes.
[03:32] <NikkiGrrl> we're on the right track, though
[03:32] <Abhijit> i downloaded eternal ladns. and marked it as executable. from terminal if i run ./file.bin it runs but i added same address to applicatioon menu manualy and it dont rum. how to add that menu?
[03:32] <Abhijit> help
[03:32] <jont2383> is there a ubuntu channel on here for ubuntu on mac computers ?
[03:32] <soul> NikkiFrrl: do you have it booting in IDE or ACHI?
[03:33] <ruan> ahh it can read jpg/jpeg as well.
[03:33] <ericy> NikkiGrrl: Wow..
[03:33] <Abhijit> !mac | jont2383
[03:33] <rww> wjw: Can you pastebin the output of "apt-cache policy ubuntu-minimal", please?
[03:33] <Abhijit> jont2383, ask here only
[03:33] <NikkiGrrl> Only IDE, soul ....the device is 10+ yrs old
[03:33] <jimmy_birer> rww,you are digging too deep son.
[03:33] <jimmy_birer> k-i-s-s.
[03:33] <jimmy_birer> remember the principle?
[03:33] <ericy> NikkiGrrl:
[03:33] <hiexpo> hola rww
[03:33] <jont2383> ahhh so this is the open general topic channel ?
[03:33] <soul> NikkiGrrl: maybe bios update lol?
[03:33] <rww> hi hiexpo
[03:34] <ericy> NikkiGrrl: What did you install last, Xubuntu?
[03:34] <NikkiGrrl> no such thing, sadly, soul ....we're discussing a thin client
[03:34] <jimmy_birer> xubuntu is just ubuntu with xfce
[03:34] <futr_vision> Hmmm. Dual boot doc not terribly helpful. Boot loader should go on the drive where I installed the first OS?
[03:34] <jimmy_birer> ...
[03:34] <Abhijit> i downloaded eternal ladns. and marked it as executable. from terminal if i run ./file.bin it runs but i added same address to applicatioon menu manualy and it dont rum. how to add that menu?
[03:34] <NikkiGrrl> tried Xubuntu....had read on forums some people had better luck with it, but again, hangs shortly after GDM comes up
[03:34] <NikkiGrrl> GDM comes up....can move mouse around, almost type in username and pass, suddenly....halt
[03:34] <hiexpo> jont2383, yup
[03:35] <soul> NikkiGrrl: What about trying Puppy, thats nice and small?
[03:35] <NikkiGrrl> that's the kicker....Puppy works A+.....so it's apparently a kernel issue
[03:35] <wjw> rww, http://paste.ubuntu.com/581911/
[03:35] <NikkiGrrl> Puppy won't exactly do what I need with the system, however....thus my attempt to migrate it to Ubuntu
[03:35] <soul> NikkiGrrl: ooooh gotcha
[03:35] <NikkiGrrl> Ubuntu loves all my other machines, and I love it right back, heh
[03:36] <rww> wjw: Thanks. Can I get the output from "sudo apt-get update" too?
[03:37] <NikkiGrrl> I guess a good question is this....is there a ....stripped down kernel for Ubuntu....for older machines? I can remove the hard drive and force it on there if there is one
[03:37] <jimmy_birer> NikkiGrrl,you just can run ubuntu server
[03:37] <jimmy_birer> 64 mb ram it requires
[03:37] <wjw> rww, Hmm, now it's doing things.
[03:37] <jimmy_birer> then install some X with fluxbox
[03:37] <NikkiGrrl> no, I can't jimmy_birer ....it does the SAME THING
[03:37] <Scunizi> How do I keep cairo doc from loading on boot.. I'm getting one instance on the non-opengl and the opengl version at the same time
[03:37] <NikkiGrrl> hangs some seconds after console log in prompt, instead of GDM, of course
[03:37] <jimmy_birer> well then throw that computer away
[03:37] <hiexpo> NikkiGrrl, which ubuntu you trying
[03:37] <jimmy_birer> get over it
[03:38] <jimmy_birer> no no no wait
[03:38] <NikkiGrrl> jimmy_birer, I came here because that and this are the only computers I can AFFORD, thus my usage of Ubuntu
[03:38] <jimmy_birer> NikkiGrrl,what computer you have?
[03:38] <jimmy_birer> ok ok
[03:38] <jimmy_birer> what computer
[03:38] <jimmy_birer> ?
[03:38] <FloodBot1> jimmy_birer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:38] <jont2383> i am looking for someone who has installed ubuntu on a powermac g5 ppc
[03:38] <NikkiGrrl> as I said before, it's a thin client, 10+ yrs old.... 800MHz, 512MB RAM ....VIA processor and chipset
[03:39] <wjw> rww, btw my intent is to get the Xubuntu desktop.  I thought I'd save bandwitdth by starting with a server CD I already had.
[03:39] <hiexpo> NikkiGrrl, lubuntu
[03:39] <jimmy_birer> NikkiGrrl,get crunchbang
[03:39] <NikkiGrrl> lubuntu, hiexpo ? I will look into it, thank you
[03:39] <hiexpo> NikkiGrrl, np
[03:39] <Belial`> lubuntu might give you the same problem
[03:39] <Belial`> try an LTS release.
[03:39] <Belial`> 10.04, see if that hangs.
[03:39] <NikkiGrrl> jimmy....I have tried crunch and Puppy, both work, but neither even let you run outside Root, so they're basically useless
[03:39] <Belial`> if it doesn't, you know it might definitely be kernel related.
[03:40] <NikkiGrrl> Belial`, the various 10.04 flavors, (standard, Xubuntu, and server) are what I HAVE been trying, and yes, all three hang, leading me, as I have already stated, to suspect the kernel
[03:40] <Guest69991> cls_1231
[03:40] <Belial`> ah, well then give 10.10 a shot
[03:40] <jimmy_birer> nikkigirl,did you know that there`s this invention called ADDUSER!!!
[03:40] <hiexpo> Belial`, nah less ram no gdm like ubuntu gnome orkde   thats why it was made minimal with lxde
[03:40] <NikkiGrrl> I'm afraid 10.10 is worse....it insists the machine is not i386
[03:40] <Belial`> hmm
[03:40] <jimmy_birer> NikkiGrrl,yeah it is
[03:41] <jimmy_birer> every release has more kernel modules than previous
[03:41] <jimmy_birer> what you expect
[03:41] <NikkiGrrl> jimmy, how do you add user to something like Puppy, which runs from a read only CD?
[03:41] <jimmy_birer> the adduser command?
[03:41] <wjw> rww, I think you have solved my problem, although I don't understand what the cause was and how you addressed it.
[03:41] <deepu> hi i want to set path to an executable other than at bashrc file..i dont want fill my bashrc with so many lines.. is there any other process to specify path
[03:41] <rww> NikkiGrrl: Ubuntu 10.10 and higher require fully-i686 compatible processors. Several older VIA x86 processors aren't, which is why that's happening.
[03:41] <NikkiGrrl> and then when  you power off, jimmy, you're back where you started
[03:41] <NikkiGrrl> thank you rww!! now we're getting somewhere!!
[03:41] <jimmy_birer> adduser again
[03:41] <NikkiGrrl> same to hiexpo as well
[03:41] <jimmy_birer> isnt that hard
[03:42] <hiexpo> puupy runs of ram once booted you can remove the cd > or usb
[03:42] <landingonwater_> one thing i dont understand is that Peppermint gets my broadcom wireless working via additional drivers, but after countless triess I still have no wireless when running Ubuntu.
[03:42] <NikkiGrrl> does 10.04 require 586+ or 686+ as well?
[03:42] <jimmy_birer> yeah
[03:42] <juk> !lubuntu | NikkiGrrl
[03:42] <jimmy_birer> lubuntu is useless too
[03:42] <landingonwater_> how can Peppermint have fixed this issue, and not Cannonical ??
[03:42] <jimmy_birer> NikkiGrrl,maybe try debian live cd
[03:43] <ruan> !broadcom
[03:43] <rww> wjw: Alrighty. Your problem was that your computer didn't have a list of packages available from the repository servers. The usual reason for that happening is 1) the computer is new and hasn't contacted the server at all yet, 2) you made major changes to sources.list. "sudo apt-get update" connects to the servers and downloads a packages list.
[03:43] <jimmy_birer> wjw,ping us.ubuntu.com
[03:43] <jimmy_birer> and tell us if it works
[03:43] <rww> jimmy_birer: Their problem's fixed.
[03:43] <jimmy_birer> ok ok
[03:43] <NikkiGrrl> @jimmy : the reason I am still not using Puppy or crunchbang is due to being unwilling to install all my packages at every reboot....that said, you say ALL Ubuntu derivatives will require 686+?
[03:44] <wjw> rww, and jimmy_birer, thanks!
[03:44] <Scunizi> How do I keep cairo doc from loading on boot.. I'm getting one instance on the non-opengl and the opengl version at the same time
[03:44] <NikkiGrrl> if so, can I not perhaps use a 386 kernel from Debian or elsewhere?
[03:44] <rww> wjw: aptitude assumes that any package it can't match to a package list was installed from a .deb or obsolete (removed from the repositories), but in this case it was just that it didn't have any package lists to match against.
[03:44] <jimmy_birer> no problem wjw
[03:44] <jimmy_birer> NikkiGrrl,debian 5.0 has 386 support
[03:44] <wjw> rww, so the update is kind of key with a newly installed old system.
[03:44] <jimmy_birer> also debian supports many many more arhitectures
[03:44] <ericy> deepu: Try using alias command OR make a scritpt file.
[03:44] <futr_vision> Where do you install the boot loader on a triple boot system (3 hard drives)
[03:44] <NikkiGrrl> ok....looks like I might have to go straight-Deb.....thanks gang. I'll let you know how it goes!!
[03:44] <NikkiGrrl> cheers!
[03:45] <jimmy_birer> cheers son
[03:45] <rww> wjw: yep. On desktop systems, it tends to get done by Update Manager before the user tries to install packages. Server runs across this problem more often.
[03:45] <ruan> bootscreen image still wont work :/
[03:45] <soul> for Lucid users such as myself, I highly recomend this site for upgrading the repos... http://theindexer.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/to-do-list-after-installing-ubuntu-10-04-aka-lucid-lynx/   good stuff!
[03:45] <wjw> I'm installing Xubuntu.
[03:45] <jont2383> looking for someone who has installed ubuntu on a powermac g5 PPC
[03:46] <ericy> NikkiGrrl: jimmy_birer: hiexpo: As we speak right now, I'm running on Lubuntu live-cd in a 4GB usb memory stick.
[03:46] <xangua> !ppc | jont2383
[03:46] <wjw> What's cool is I'm doing it over ssh from my machine running Ubuntu, so I don't have to keep leaping out of my chair and into the one in front of the other computer.
[03:46] <rww> jont2383: You may want to just ask your question and see if anyone comes out of the woodwork.
[03:46] <hiexpo> soul, not a good idea to recomend people changing there repos
[03:47] <jont2383> rww lol i just want to know if someone has successfully installed ubuntu on a powermac g5 ppc lol
[03:47] <soul> hiexpo: why not? too easy to get messed up I guess?
[03:48] <hiexpo> yep  soul and this is ubuntu support not off channel support to change there repos
[03:48] <soul> hiexpo: gotcha, that makes perfect sense to me
[03:48] <rww> jont2383: I've seen Ubuntu on someone else's iMac G5, so yes.
[03:48] <jont2383> thats it, i'm trying to decide if i should try it out on my main hd which i cant restore if the ubuntu dosent work... or go buy a new hd and try that
[03:49] <rww> jont2383: Unless the compatibility's gotten better since about hardy, though, it's kind of a pain (I tried it and gave up after a couple of hours because I didn't care that much and was just curious)
[03:49] <jont2383> rww : do you know how well it worked compatability wise with software etc
[03:49] <jimmy_birer> jont2383,powermac g5 is good
[03:49] <jimmy_birer> i had a g5 emulator
[03:49] <soul> hiexpo: but I will say this, that site can help them peice back their repo's, only reason why I mentioned it... my repos were messed up and that got me going back smoothe, so really it could be ubuntu support too :)
[03:49] <jimmy_birer> and it worked fine
[03:49] <hiexpo> jont2383, have you tryed the live cd if it works ok live it will work installed
[03:50] <rww> jont2383: In general, PPC compatibility is reasonable. You don't get non-free software (Flash being the one people care about) unless it comes in a PPC version, but almost all of the free software stuff in the repositories is there.
[03:50] <jont2383> yeah i have this amazing 16gb ram dual quad core PPC dual 1gb nvidia cards but it wont run any new mac osx software so i want to turn it into a nasty fast linux desktop server
[03:50] <wjw> Yay, here comes abiword.
[03:51] <jimmy_birer> 16 gb ram?
[03:51] <jimmy_birer> i wold write a new os
[03:51] <jimmy_birer> to have that machine
[03:51] <hiexpo> !yay | wjw
[03:51] <jimmy_birer> !yay WomanTheSandwich
[03:51] <wjw> I have a 16 MiB machine that runs some old linux.
[03:51] <jimmy_birer> damn small linux?
[03:52] <jimmy_birer> !yay | WomanTheSandwich
[03:52] <jimmy_birer> she made it
[03:52] <wjw> Can't remember what the distro was called.    The compiler consisted of three very long decks of cards.
[03:53] <ericy> Mee too.
[03:53] <landingonwater_> well.. i tried sta, b43, and ndiswrapper. ubuntu 10.10 refuses to see the broadcom wireless hardware.
[03:53] <jimmy_birer> i uploaded linux on a humax satellite receiver
[03:53] <jimmy_birer> it works fine
[03:53] <jimmy_birer> i can use ls,cd,touch
[03:54] <jont2383> jimmy_birer : lol thats awesome
[03:54] <jimmy_birer> and assembler
[03:54] <landingonwater_> ubuntu 10.04 DID see It, but i ditched 10.04 because I was using wubi back then, and It was a bad setup
[03:54] <jimmy_birer> thnx
[03:54] <jimmy_birer> i had so many frustrations with wubi
[03:54] <landingonwater_> Peppermint has no problem seing the hardware.
[03:54] <jimmy_birer> i would download the iso
[03:54] <jimmy_birer> mount it virtually
[03:54] <wjw> Hoping abiword works well; openoffice.org crashes.
[03:54] <jimmy_birer> and the sucker would download the iso again
[03:55] <landingonwater_> but ubuntu 10.10 additional drivers recognises nothing
[03:55] <jont2383> i use Freebsd for my satellite tracking dish
[03:55] <jimmy_birer> my hammer has unix 07 inside
[03:55] <rww> Witty comments to #ubuntu-offtopic, please :(
[03:55] <jimmy_birer> ok
[03:56] <jont2383> i installed ubuntu in my battery operated drill.... the drill never crashed now
[03:56] <rww> jont2383: you too ;P
[03:56] <landingonwater_> for additional drivers i only see software modem and nvidia driver. no b43, sta or else.
[03:56] <jont2383> rww : sorry i just hit send when you typed that
[03:56] <Da|Mummy> so in other words, the only reason car crashes happen all the time, is because they have windows?
[03:57] <wjw> Da|Mummy, heh
[03:57] <joseph__1> [03:57] <jimmy_birer> Da|Mummy,Linux is like having a car with steel windows
[03:57] <jont2383> (keeping mouth shut) tons of witty responses to the windows remark hahah
[03:58] <jont2383> going to throw them out in #offtopic
[03:58] <jont2383> rofl
[03:58] <landingonwater_> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx is useless as long as ubuntu 10.10 cant see the hardware at all.
[03:58] <jimmy_birer> landingonwate,are you using dell inspiron 1525?
[03:59] <landingonwater_> jimmy_birer: even worse.. the HP lx1000
[04:00]  * jimmy_birer hides himself in the bushes and laughs while farting
[04:00] <landingonwater_> jimmy_birer: vista sees the wireless, and ubuntu 10.04 and peppermint. ubuntu 10.10 sess no card, and nothing turns up in additional drivers
[04:00]  * rww redirects jimmy_birer to #ubuntu-offtopic again
[04:00] <jimmy_birer> ok sorry
[04:01] <battlehands> my laptop isnt recognizing any cds... I changed the boot order in the bios to boot from cd first, and it still completely skips the install cd that I have in there when I boot... how can I reformat my laptop without a cd?
[04:02] <landingonwater_> battlehands: why not install using USB
[04:03] <soreau> battlehands: Did you double check to make sure its still set to boot cd first?
[04:03] <jimmy_birer> battlehands,i used an old modem cable
[04:03] <jimmy_birer> wrote a socket in python
[04:03] <jimmy_birer> and transffered the files
[04:03] <jimmy_birer> to a ext3 filesystem
[04:04] <battlehands> landingonwater_, I need to reformat quickly.  Can I DL the iso and set it up on a flashdrive quickly?
[04:04] <landingonwater_> jimmy_birer: If the card is not seen by ubuntu 10.10, the what good is software ? there must be some hickup in 10.10 resulting in this problem. can i copy some stuff directly from peppermint to fix It ?
[04:04] <battlehands> soreau, yes, and its not even recognizing any CDs that are inserted.
[04:05] <landingonwater_> battlehands: use pendrive to put ubuntu on the stick. install from there. pretty fast procedure.
[04:05] <soreau> battlehands: Sounds like a problem with the cdrom drive then
[04:05] <landingonwater_> battlehands: you can setup the usb stick on linux as well. but i forgot the procedure.
[04:06] <battlehands> landingonwater_, how do I put ubuntu on pendrive?
[04:06] <landingonwater_> battlehands: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/
[04:07] <landingonwater_> battlehands: download ubuntu. whatever flavor. install pendrives usb installer.
[04:08] <battlehands> landingonwater_, can I reformat my computer with this pendrive?
[04:08] <landingonwater_> battlehands: yes you can. use http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ to install ubuntu on the stick. the install from the stick
[04:09] <fxhp> How do I set the disk path in vmbuilder
[04:09] <landingonwater_> battlehands: installing from the stick let you create dualboot, or start from scratch.
[04:10] <battlehands> landingonwater_, I just want to start from scratch
[04:10] <landingonwater_> battlehands: casper partition does take som time, so if you dont wanna use the stick for anything else dont go for 4 gb casper.
[04:11] <landingonwater_> battlehands: well.. always useful to have a ubuntu on USB. but go for It. I did It twice. no problems.
[04:11] <battlehands> landingonwater_, thanks
[04:11] <landingonwater_> hmm. damn.. I wish my broadcom would work.
[04:12] <_Platypus_> The last laptop I had had a Broadcom, and it was the most nightmarish device I've ever configured.
[04:13] <landingonwater_> _Platypus_: how did you solve It ? same problem with card not being recognized ????
[04:13] <austinium_> i am having trouble logging in via ssh, keep getting the error:"Read from socket failed:Connection reset by peer", ssh -vvv output ->  http://pastebin.com/A30bcSe7
[04:13] <geekyogi> I'm looking for a port forwarding or PAT solution on Linux, any suggestions?
[04:13] <austinium_> U10.04, OpenSSH 5.3p1
[04:14] <stefanhol> Good evening probably in America. I ave a question concerning qt4-archiver and this is my first use of irc so please be friendly.  In Germany it is 5 am.
[04:14] <soreau> geekyogi: iptables
[04:14] <JdGordon|> how do i make gnome *not* open the file browser when a usb drive is connected?
[04:14] <landingonwater_> _Platypus_: well.. thanks for discouraging me further :D
[04:14] <_Platypus_> landingonwater: I think I had to do the whole ndiswrapper (?) thing, but it's been so long...haven't had that laptop in over 2 years.
[04:14] <marie> can someone help me with firefox? - im having issues going to pogo.com - it keeps telling me i have to install java, but- i have already installed java.. what am i missing?
[04:15] <soreau> ! java | marie
[04:15] <landingonwater_> _Platypus_: aah.. okay. I see. well.. I tried ndiswrapper as well. but its not seing the card at all.
[04:15] <soreau> landingonwater_: what card is it?
[04:16] <stefanhol> I want to use qt4-archiver on a live CD, but it asks for a sudo password for "ubuntuuser", but I do not know the password.
[04:16] <marie> soreau, maverick-multiverse ?
[04:16] <landingonwater_> soreau: driver is bcmwl5.inf
[04:16] <_Platypus_> landingonwater: I apologize I can't be of more assistance to you man. It's also why I won't ever buy anything with a Broadcom.
[04:17] <soreau> ! broadcom | landingonwater_
[04:17] <landingonwater_> soreau: ubuntu doesnt see the card at all. so im not sure what model it is. i will to boot peppermint ot find out
[04:17] <soreau> landingonwater_: Eventually there will be an open driver for broadcom but not yet
[04:17] <soreau> landingonwater_: If lspci doesnt show it, you likely need to enable it in the bios
[04:17] <_Platypus_> Yes! That link that ubottu suggested is how I remember fixing my Broadcom!
[04:17] <soreau> or otherwise turn it on
[04:18] <marie> soreau, nvm- followed the link
[04:18] <alteregod> how should i turn off my harddisk using hdparm, after 2 hours?
[04:18] <landingonwater_> soreau: thing is that Peppermint shows additional driver for the card, and It works just fine there. Ubuntu sess nothing. and i fint that strange since Peppermint is based on Ubuntu.
[04:19] <landingonwater_> soreau: can you explain that ? enable in bios ? but peppermint, vista and ubuntu 10.04 could see the broadcom card ??
[04:19] <GeneralK> Hi. I just installed Ubuntu on my desktop PC, but Grub won't boot and drops me to a rescue prompt. I have a feeling it's because I installed on an nvidia raid array. Right now I've booted with a live cd and run this boot info script, but I'm not sure what to do next. If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.
[04:20] <ruan> GeneralK: what does grub report as an error?
[04:20] <GeneralK> ruan: file not found
[04:20] <stefanhol> I have never choosen a password for qt4-fsarchiver and still it asks me for one. What could be the reason or what should I do to solve the problem with qt4-fsarchiver on Live-CD?
[04:20] <ruan> GeneralK: do you remember which file?
[04:21] <soreau> landingonwater_: You are saying it does not show in lspci? Perhaps some irq conflict?
[04:21] <jont2383> Generalk : nvidia HD raid array or graphics server ?
[04:21] <GeneralK> jont2383: HD raid array
[04:21] <GeneralK> ruan: I don't think it said anything besides error file not found grub rescue
[04:21] <landingonwater_> soreau: it does not show in lspci. hmm.. irq ?? so.. you are saying It can be fix if its a conflict ?
[04:21] <soreau> landingonwater_: Is it a pci/internal card, not usb/external?
[04:22] <ruan> GeneralK: can you try to reinstall grub?
[04:22] <landingonwater_> soreau: its an internal card. the laptop is a HP Pavilion lx1000 with amd64 turion
[04:22] <GeneralK> ruan: Maybe. How would I go about it, though? Do I need to mount the drive in the live cd or something?
[04:22] <ruan> !grub2
[04:22] <soreau> landingonwater_: Did you check dmesg for any interesting messages?
[04:23] <landingonwater_> soreau: dmesg ?
[04:23] <soreau> ! dmesg
[04:24] <jimmy_birer> ! man
[04:24] <jimmy_birer> i asked for men
[04:24] <jimmy_birer> not for manual idiot
[04:24] <syrinx_> lol
[04:24] <soreau> jimmy_birer: What happened to the ot channel?
[04:24] <jimmy_birer> it raffed
[04:25] <w1n5ton> Say I wanted to connect to two wifi networks
[04:25] <w1n5ton> Using one for downloading torrents
[04:25] <w1n5ton> And one for web browsing
[04:25] <GeneralK> ruan: So, sudo fdisk -l gives me: Unable to seek on /dev/sda
[04:25] <w1n5ton> How would I go about doing this?
[04:25] <landingonwater_> soreau: okay.. got the long list from dmesg. what do i look for ?
[04:26] <soreau> w1n5ton: You would need two wifi cards
[04:26] <w1n5ton> I know that
[04:26] <soreau> The rest is easy
[04:26] <w1n5ton> But how would I direct the bittorrent client
[04:26] <w1n5ton> and the web browser to only use one
[04:26] <hiexpo> soreau, hola
[04:26] <soreau> landingonwater_: Any interesting messages
[04:27] <soreau> hiexpo: hi?
[04:27] <ruan> GeneralK: hmm. it cant read the hard disk
[04:27] <w1n5ton> How is it easy?
[04:28] <hiexpo> soreau, hey how do i look up log from last night from irc
[04:28] <BlueBomber7> How do you register a nick on an irc server in xchat?
[04:28] <Flannel> BlueBomber7: /msg nickserv help register
[04:28] <rww> !register
[04:29] <ruan> GeneralK: otherwise i'd suggest a super grub disk
[04:29] <soreau> hiexpo: What log? (why are you asking me?)
[04:29] <hiexpo> soreau, sorry didn'tmean to direct that to you
[04:30] <BlueBomber7> Thanks, guys
[04:30] <Paul6253> hi I am at my wits end...I'm running 8.10 ( ibex) and for some crazy reason I cannot get any updates...well I tweaked my apt source list but now it complains about a java zip file that is no longer available
[04:30] <hiexpo> !8.10
[04:31] <landingonwater_> soreau: im not sure what to look for. some like this ??: ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNK1] (IRQs 5 7 10 11 14 15) *0, disabled.
[04:31] <rww> Paul6253: Ubuntu 8.10 reached end of life status in April 2010 and is no longer supported in #ubuntu. See the information ubottu's about to give you for help with upgrading to a supported version.
[04:31] <rww> !eol | Paul6253
[04:31] <hiexpo> Paul6253, no more support for 8.10
[04:31] <Paul6253> I see that...
[04:32] <stefanhol> Can anyone help me with problems with a LIve-CD?
[04:32] <soreau> ! ask | stefanhol
[04:32] <rww> soreau: They already did ask.
[04:32] <ericy> stefanhol: What?
[04:32] <GeneralK> ruan: Does it mean anything to you that the boot info script says Grub 2 is installed on /dev/sda and /dev/mapper/nvidia_ebbedadj?
[04:32] <Paul6253> so my current prob is I want to install xvidcap but I can't find any decent version for intrepid anywhere...I DO NOT want to upgrade
[04:33] <rww> stefanhol: The default username for Ubuntu live CDs is "ubuntu". The default password is the empty string / blank. I don't know if this helps.
[04:33] <stefanhol> qt4-fsarchiver wants to have a password for ubuntuuser, but I do not know it. What should I do. I have never given it a password.
[04:33] <battlehands> Im having error 5 input/ouput when I try to create a boot disk on my pendrive.  help?
[04:33] <soreau> stefanhol: What do you need qt4-fsarchiver for?
[04:33] <Paul6253> if anything I'd go back to heron,lol
[04:33] <EClaesson> I'm using a laptop where my right arrow key is broken. On window i used PowerKey (i think it was called so) to map a special key above the right arrow to it. Is this possible on ubuntu with some tool?
[04:34] <rww> Paul6253: If you're not going to upgrade, then you don't get support here. Sorry :\
[04:34] <ruan> GeneralK: slightly. it might not be able to boot from either of the drives
[04:34] <rww> Paul6253: Intrepid hasn't gotten security updates since it went EOL. It's really not a good idea to be using it.
[04:34] <landingonwater_> EClaesson: i had a broken key on my old laptop and remapped it. easy as pie in Ubuntu
[04:34] <stefanhol> hanks for the answers. empty string as password does not work and I must do a total backup of my system.
[04:34] <battlehands> An uncaught exception was raised:
[04:34] <battlehands> [Errno 5] Input/output error
[04:35] <Paul6253> well that's fine but xvidcap was a fine working app for 8.10 and I never got it but now I want it and I see no reason why it can't be done
[04:35] <Paddy_NI> battlehands: sounds like a dodgy pen drive
[04:35] <EClaesson> landingonwater_: How?
[04:35] <battlehands> Paddy_NI, Ive tried two different drives...
[04:35] <Paddy_NI> battlehands: try using unetbootin... there is a problem with syslinux and usb-creator on maverick
[04:36] <landingonwater_> EClaesson: system / preferences / keyboard / layout / options
[04:37] <ruan> is it possible to play audio from a console?
[04:37] <battlehands> Paddy_NI, what is unetbootin?
[04:37] <battlehands> !unetbootin
[04:37] <landingonwater_> ruan: yes.. there is an audioplayer for console. and alpine for mail and so forth. most things can be done in console
[04:37] <Paul6253> well thanks....sad but I guess I have little choice
[04:37] <ericy> ruan: Yes, there are some console audio players in the repos.
[04:38] <ruan> sounds like all things can be done in console
[04:38] <hiexpo> !google
[04:38] <Paul6253> gotta keep up with the  Jones
[04:38] <ruan> browsing, irc, audio, video....

[04:38] <needlez> hi anyone know how to get wimba pronto to work with linux, or if theres a way to set up pidgin's xmpp account to be configured with pronto?
[04:38] <landingonwater_> ruan: i edit my photos in console :)
[04:38] <EClaesson> landingonwater_: I can't find any possibility to do a remapping in the layout option
[04:38] <EClaesson> s
[04:39] <rww> Paul6253: More like... Ubuntu releases every six months. If we had to keep track of and support every version that comes out for, say, three years, things would get impossibly confusing rather quickly.
[04:39] <raido> EClaesson: System >Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts
[04:40] <Paul6253> just curious , how much of a footprint on Maverick? is it vastly better than 8.10 and does it still run well on lower end?
[04:41] <mgeary> hey, i'm running 9.10 and apt-get is giving me an older version of ffmpeg than i need. Is there a way to have apt-get retrieve a more recent version?
[04:41] <rww> !requirements | Paul6253
[04:41] <EClaesson> raido: It doens't seem to react on that key
[04:41] <rww> Paul6253: In my experience, there isn't much of a change in requirements between the two.
[04:42] <rww> mgeary: Not through Ubuntu's repositories, no. They aren't updated with new major versions of software after release, for stability reasons.
[04:42] <rww> !latest
[04:42] <needlez> hi anyone know how to get wimba pronto to work with linux, or if theres a way to set up pidgin's xmpp account to be configured with pronto?
[04:42] <hiexpo> needlez, i thought you were a linux guy anyway thats what you said and told everyone in aircrack-ng said you was a pro and was using it for at least 6 years  aircrack-ng anyways and thats when aircrack-ng came out
[04:42] <mgeary> rww: so it it better to compile my own, or can i point apt-get to a reliable different repository?
[04:42] <Paul6253> !lobotomy | self
[04:43] <Paul6253> hmm...did not work
[04:43] <chris_osx> Paul6253, it didn't work for me the first time either
[04:44] <landingonwater_> EClaesson: maybe this is of use: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/assign-custom-shortcut-keys-on-ubuntu-linux/
[04:44] <ruan> terminal is super powerful
[04:44] <needlez> hiexpo: i have been using linux and aircrack-ng for years yes, but im not a guru or anything like that, just a student who has been using linux for a while... why do you ask??
[04:45] <Paul6253> that was  self mocking for the benefit of the audience since I asked so many redundant questions
[04:45] <Paul6253> the bot is cool though
[04:45] <rww> mgeary: There are rather a lot of PPAs (which I note aren't supported officially or by #ubuntu in general) that have it. What are your version requirements?
[04:45] <greg> I downloaded "Gadmin Samba" and it changed my computers hostname. How can I change it back?
[04:45] <rww> !hostname | greg
[04:45] <stefanhol> Can anyone tell me a downloadlink for a qt4-fsarchiver image probably without password problems? I got mine from sourceforge.net or should i use Remastersys to produce a customized Live CD with qt4-fsarchiver. In the Live CD I use now, the system asks the ubuntuuser for sudo password but does not accept "" or anything I tried.
[04:46] <dannyLopez68> what is the best version of java?
[04:46] <roberto> oi
[04:46] <mgeary> rww: i only really need the -vf option supported, on my local machine i have SVN-r24472
[04:46] <landingonwater_> soreau: hmm.. can i run peppermint inside ubuntu 10.10 ? because that would make my broadcom work !

[04:48] <battlehands> Can someone help me create a boot usb with ubuntu on it?
[04:48] <brandon420> i seriously just lold
[04:48] <Paul6253> get DOS ...it's great
[04:48] <brandon420> battlehands, i had that same thought when i started using ubuntu
[04:48] <Paul6253> always works!
[04:49] <Paddy_NI> battlehands: use unetbootin
[04:49] <ruan> lol dos
[04:49] <battlehands> Paddy_NI, I tried, and it didnt work
[04:49] <landingonwater_> battlehands: im not sure why you get an error. because i did it twice usint universal-usb-installer, and had no problems. did it on 2 different laptops.
[04:49] <deepu> is there any other way to specify executable other than in bashrc or profile files
[04:49] <deepu> is there any other way to specify executable path other than in bashrc or profile files
[04:49] <battlehands> landingonwater_, any idea of how to fix the error?
[04:50] <slipkid08> Yo everyone
[04:50] <battlehands> Paddy_NI, can you help me make sure im doing it right?
[04:50] <landingonwater_> battlehands: format your pendrive. start over. make sure your ubuntu download is healthy.
[04:50] <Paul6253> With Microsoft and a qualified MSCE specialist you are rest assured of a safe , functional, and hassle-free computing experia...*choke* strangle*
[04:50] <Paddy_NI> battlehands: do what landingonwater_ says
[04:50] <Paddy_NI> battlehands: is basically what I'd do
[04:51] <battlehands> landingonwater_, ok, I formatted my pendrive
[04:51] <raido> deepu: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/prepostpath.htm
[04:51] <slipkid08> Is there any cool scripts for gdesklets that anyone knows of?
[04:51] <landingonwater_> battlehands: windows is like paying for a prostitute. Ubuntu is more like being married !
[04:51] <brandon420> battlehands, the best thing i can tell you, is google. you will find alot of things that people in here cant help with. google is your most useful tool.
[04:51] <ai9371> i wonder why AGP video cards are so hard to find now
[04:51] <ai9371> im looking for like a 8200 geforce
[04:51] <ericy> battlehands: I am right now running Lubuntu 10.10 'Live-CD' installed on a 4GB usb thumb drive, made with unetbootin.  (I've done uNetBootin  from Linux and Windows
[04:51] <brandon420> i know that isnt useful, but remember it, and you wont have any problems with ubuntu

[04:51] <intok> anyone else currently unable to view youtube from Movie Player/Totem? I know it worked before an I can play .flv files, but totem now just tosses up a non helpful gstreamer error
[04:52] <battlehands> landingonwater_,  am I supposed to use the boot usb creator in ubuntu?
[04:52] <rww> mgeary: hrm, I'm not finding much of anything for Karmic on the PPA list :\
[04:52] <mgeary> grump
[04:52] <deepu> radia thanks
[04:52] <ruan> intok: works for me. though you can try reinstalling gstreamer flv plugin or using an alternative video player eg. vlc
[04:52] <ericy> battlehands: If you are putting the Live-CD on it, you must format it to Fat-32.
[04:52] <landingonwater_> battlehands: is your ubuntu download complete ? is the iso file complete ?
[04:52] <battlehands> ericy, can you help me get through unetbootin
[04:52] <battlehands> landingonwater_, yes. yes.
[04:53] <battlehands> ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso
[04:53] <landingonwater_> battlehands: you have the universal installer launched. you choose you usb drive, and browse to your Ubuntu iso ??
[04:53] <ericy> battlehands: It's very simple to use. If you want to run it in linux, just install it: apt-get install unetbootin...
[04:54] <landingonwater_> battlehands: you are set to go then. just run it again. might have been a glitch of some sort.
[04:54] <battlehands> landingonwater_, universal installed = startup disk creator?
[04:54] <ericy> battlehands: ....else download the Windows version from their website.
[04:54] <hiexpo> !unetbootin
[04:54] <ruan> if i access my pc with ssh, will sound work?
[04:55] <syrinx_> ruan: on the host or the server?
[04:55] <syrinx_> client*
[04:55] <ruan> syrinx_: the client. the one that is connecting
[04:55] <ericy> battlehands: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net
[04:55] <raido> ruan: no
[04:55] <syrinx_> i don't think so, I think it would play out of the server
[04:56] <rww> it would
[04:56] <hiexpo> unetbootin is in the repos
[04:56] <battlehands> landingonwater_, does my pendrive need to be in a specific format?
[04:56] <gary_inNYC> my update manager tells me "Not all updates can be installed" and suggests to run a "partial upgrade", but online resources say don't do that.  What should I do to fix this?
[04:56] <ericy> battlehands: If you are putting the Live-CD on it, you must format it to Fat-32. Else if you installing to format to ext2 or ext3.
[04:56] <landingonwater_> battlehands: just fat32
[04:57] <hiexpo> battlehands, probally have missing dependencies is why you get that error
[04:57] <landingonwater_> funny enough im fat38 :(
[04:57] <Paul6253> hi all...I can't even upgrade this is BS...this is what I get Fetched 7029kB in 10s (693kB/s)

[04:59] <Paul6253> if any one has ideas ...when I tried to upgrade via exact instructions I get this http://paste.ubuntu.com/581926/
[04:59] <landingonwater_> battlehands: then i cant see why its not working. try a different pendrive then. rule out errors
[04:59] <battlehands> is there a terminal command that will reformat?
[05:00] <landingonwater_> battlehands: did you check the md5 sum on that distro ?
[05:00] <hiexpo> battlehands, are you using linux to format that drive
[05:00] <battlehands> landingonwater_, I dont know what md5 sum is.  I am using ubuntu to create the drive
[05:00] <Paul6253> those are just warnings I can ignore or is that critical?
[05:01] <landingonwater_> battlehands: hiexpo is sharp. i didnt notise you were on ubuntu right now.
[05:01] <ericy> battlehands: If you want to do it in GUI, run in Admin menu: gparted    Else console use fdisk.
[05:01] <raido> Paul6253: That akirad repo is a 3rd party repo and it looks like something has changed with that repo since the last time you updated. I would comment that out of your sources list and rerun update
[05:02] <landingonwater_> battlehands: you can do it using ubuntu, some of the guys pasted links here earlier fyi
[05:02] <landingonwater_> battlehands: if in doubt.. just boot a windows and use the universal-usb-installer
[05:03] <battlehands> landingonwater_, this is driving me crazy.  Ive been working on this stuff since 3pm... 9 hours ago.
[05:04] <landingonwater_> battlehands: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[05:04] <landingonwater_> battlehands: just install it on windows and folloow that guide.
[05:04] <battlehands> landingonwater_, ok
[05:05] <battlehands> landingonwater_, booting into windows, brb
[05:06] <richardcavell> What's the channel for getting help with the GNU toolchain including make?
[05:06] <ericy> landingonwater: What kind of error is battlehands getting?
[05:08] <EClaesson> If i do apt-get install grub i get the x86_64 version even though i'm on a 32-bit pc. Can i force it to download the 32-bit version or do i need to download it directly from the ftp/website?
[05:09] <hiexpo> battlehands, if in ubuntu just right click it and format to be used with all systems    than   after that i would open a terminal   and cd to the dir the ubuntu iso is in     >     say it is in the downloads folder     >    so cd Dwnloads   >  than open that folder and right click on the iso and click properties and copy iso name t> han in same terminal type md5sum and paste iso name fileyou copied
[05:09] <hiexpo> ^ than compare it
[05:10] <raido> EClaesson: Paste the output of "uname -a"
[05:10] <mgeary> rww: i followed these instructions and compiled my own ffmpeg. Seems to be working great: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9114176&postcount=967
[05:11] <EClaesson> raido: Linux ubuntu 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:32:27 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[05:11] <EClaesson> But i am on a 32-bit pc
[05:11] <EClaesson> Can i "change" it without a reinstall?
[05:11] <raido> EClaesson: You have a 64 bit install runnint there. You are 64bit
[05:12] <landingonwater_> ericy: I cant find battlehands error message.
[05:12] <EClaesson> raido: But i am pretty sure this is a 32-bit pc
[05:13] <EClaesson> I used the windows installer
[05:13] <landingonwater_> can i have peppermint installed next to Vista and Ubuntu 10.10 ????
[05:13] <hiexpo> mgeary, http://pasindudps.blogspot.com/2010/09/compiling-ffmpeg-in-ubuntu-1004-lucid.html
[05:13] <raido> EClaesson: Nope, your 64. What kind of proc is it
[05:13] <EClaesson> Intel Core 2 Duo
[05:13] <raido> EClaesson: Yep, 64 for sure
[05:13] <syrinx_> mhmm
[05:13] <EClaesson> Oh
[05:14] <syrinx_> EClaesson: does GRUB work?
[05:14] <EClaesson> I just took for granted (for some reason) that this was a 32 bit. For like.. two years
[05:14] <raido> EClaesson: lol, learn sumptin new every day
[05:14] <EClaesson> syrinx_: I'm going to use grub for my os project.
[05:14] <EClaesson> So i don't know yet
[05:14] <syrinx_> ah
[05:14] <EClaesson> raido: Seriously. Can i somehow test that this really really is a 64 bit machine?
[05:14] <raido> EClaesson: P.S. you already have grub installed
[05:15] <raido> EClaesson: Dude, youre running a 64 bit kernel. All Intel procs since Core 2 Duo are 64bit
[05:15] <EClaesson> raido: Ol thanks. Sorry for my.. confusion
[05:15] <syrinx_> EClaesson: cat /pro/cpuinfo
[05:15] <ruan> proc
[05:16] <syrinx_> ^
[05:16] <raido> EClaesson: See that part of uname -a that says x86_64
[05:16] <raido> alamo
[05:16] <EClaesson> Sure, i know what that means :P
[05:16] <EClaesson> I've just been sure this is a 32-bit for two-three years
[05:16] <syrinx_> it means 64 bit
[05:16] <EClaesson> This is, embarrasing..
[05:16] <raido> That kernel only runs on a 64bit proc
[05:17] <landingonwater_> .. but with dual processors you get a 128 bit machine :P
[05:17] <raido> No need to be embarassed, You can run a 32bit version if you want, but you are not at the moment
[05:18] <syrinx_> i run 32-bit on a 64-bit processor :-)
[05:18] <syrinx_> 64bit tech is still a bit buggy
[05:18] <EClaesson> raido: I know i can. The problem is that i just been so sure it's a 32-bit. And i know my way around computers..
[05:18] <landingonwater_> hmm...if I install Peppermint next to ubuntu 10.10 and vista, will peppermint then overwrite the Grub ??
[05:19] <raido> EClaesson: LOL, so, for all the naysayers that poopoo 64bit Linux as not ready, you just proved them all FOS

[05:28] <raido> jont2383: Youre gettin your $$$ worth
[05:28] <EClaesson> dustin: I have no experience at all with tor :( But generally if it's C there should be a makefile you can run via make in the terminal
[05:28] <jont2383> yeah... mac's i'm afraid are not cost wise for getting a newer version lol paid like 3400 for this when i first bought
[05:28] <raido> jont2383: I run Xubuntu on a Pentium M

[05:31] <dustin> its cool then eclaesson
[05:31] <dustin> :)
[05:31] <raido> jont2383: Yep, for laptops, hence the M
[05:31] <raido> jpds: was actually pretty snappy
[05:32] <jont2383> raido lol i went to the apple store to configure another powermac identical to my power pc one it was going to be 7k for the box... i said freak that and went out and just built my own box
[05:32] <jont2383> for like 1800
[05:32] <jont2383> runs like a champ but man i do love me my macs since they went *nix
[05:32] <raido> jont2383: Yeah, thats the way to go.
[05:33] <raido> jont2383: I far prefer Linux over BSD
[05:33] <jont2383> raido : i run BSD on all my servers
[05:33] <jont2383> on my rack servers that is
[05:33] <raido> jont2383: jont2383 I run NetBSD too and just like Linux better
[05:34] <familiar> hello
[05:34] <jont2383> yes i do like the Linux betters
[05:34] <syrinx_> BSD isn't linux?
[05:34] <jont2383> BSd is linux just a differnt flavor
[05:35] <rww> BSD is not Linux.
[05:35] <jont2383> !BSD
[05:35] <familiar> I think it is
[05:35] <rww> Perhaps you mean UNIX.
[05:35] <syrinx_> rww: UNIX variant
[05:35] <syrinx_> ?
[05:35] <raido> syrinx_: no, not really even that close, closer than windows but still quite different
[05:35] <jont2383> yes yes UNIX
[05:36] <syrinx_> so it's its own seperate entity
[05:36] <jont2383> i would say its in the *nix family
[05:36] <rww> anyways, #ubuntu technical support, #ubuntu-offtopic, general discussion, etc.
[05:36] <jont2383> but different
[05:36] <jont2383> ?
[05:36] <raido> syrinx_: there are many "BSD"s
[05:36] <vivid> its posix compliant
[05:36] <vivid> so its a *nix and it has linux compatibility
[05:37] <hiexpo> dustin, i know ther eis stuff out there and debian actually has a tor distro and i have it installed on my ubuntu 10.04 and i found out how by googling it but ubuntu has a policy not to google  so i can not tell you to google it    >   but i used used install tor in ubuntu 10.04 in a goole search and it poped right up    >
[05:37] <jont2383> Vivid : wiki it...
[05:37] <raido> vivid: not really Linux compatible in the way your thinking
[05:37] <vivid> it has linux compatibility via kernel module and rpm libraries
[05:37] <syrinx_> I've been looking into running something "lighter" than ubuntu on a few servers, should I give BSD a shot?
[05:38] <jont2383> look up FreeBSD for servers
[05:38] <raido> syrinx_: most BSDs are not "light"
[05:38] <rww> Okay, fine, I will use comprehensible sentences. #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other discussions.
[05:38] <vivid> syrinx_, if youre running a server....yes, if you want any type of desktop or workstation, no
[05:38] <syrinx_> vivid: command line is well enough for me
[05:38] <jont2383> vivid move this over to offtopic plese
[05:38] <xpn57> freebsd?
[05:38] <jont2383> anyone in this bsd discussion move over to offtopic
[05:38] <jont2383> and we can continue
[05:38] <syrinx_> yea, lets go to offtopic
[05:39] <xpn57> okay
[05:39] <litropy> Where do I find tutorials for Nux?
[05:40] <hiexpo> litropy, what is nux?
[05:40] <litropy> hiexpo, Nux is replacing mutter.
[05:41] <DarkSector> hello, I have tried to create a new partition, but unfortunately there were already 4 primary partitions, So, I deleted swap and now I have 2 sets of unallocated memory, Here's what I want to Know: 1) how to club those two together 2) how to create an extended partition and have partitions within it 3) if not possible (for the first and second) how to club these two back into my original drive.

[05:44] <ader10> How do I preview an image instead of opening it in another program with the keyboard in konqueror?
[05:44] <tonnez> can i convert this?
[05:45] <ericy> DarkSector: You can use the GUI tool in ubuntu; Admin menu find: gparted
[05:47] <ericy> DarkSector: Tell me: Is your hdd full of data -OR- can you start out with an empty hdd.
[05:47] <tuxbox> can anyone help me install a custom version of LIRC with a phillips srm7500 remote

[05:48] <mmm4m5m> Hi. This is the clamd.conf file I got after update clamav (ubuntu hardy): http://pastebin.com/KDdgRedy  . I had custom config file, I selected "do not keep, override with config from package". Looks like, there are errors at lines: 51, 52, 53, 54
[05:48] <ericy> _DarkSector: You can use the GUI tool in ubuntu; Admin menu find: gparted

[05:49] <_DarkSector> ericy, I _am_ using gparted and my hdd is full
[05:49] <DarkSector> ericy,
[05:50] <hiexpo> mmm4m5m, try channel #clamav maybe
[05:50] <ericy> _DarkSector: I ask that because it is more work when you already have existing data..
[05:50] <DarkSector> ericy, I got nothing but time and data :D
[05:50] <mmm4m5m> hiexpo; it is mostly bug, but I am not sure... but in config or clamav package
[05:51] <ericy> _DarkSector: Can you send to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com  a printout of..
[05:52] <ericy> _DarkSector: of your partition map.   Can you use a terminal to run a command?
[05:52] <ericy> _DarkSector: Do:  sfdisk -l
[05:53] <DarkSector> ericy, sure, and you might want to lose the underscore, its DarkSector now :D
[05:53] <ericy> DarkSector: Do:  sfdisk -l  and copy the output and post it on http://pastebin.ubuntu.com
[05:54] <DarkSector> ericy,  http://paste.ubuntu.com/581938/
[05:55] <ericy> DarkSector: Looking..

[05:55] <DarkSector> *sure
[05:55] <rzx237> what makes ejabberd failed to run after echoing many dots?
[05:56] <ericy> DarkSector: I see you have a 250GB hdd...
[05:57] <DarkSector> ericy, ja
[05:57] <ericy> DarkSector: ... and are you trying to make a dual boot with windows
[05:59] <DarkSector> ericy, its already a dual boot system, I am trying to install a third kernel, for LFS
[06:00] <ericy> DarkSector: It would help if you could tell me the sizes (GB) of your 4 existing partition areas?
[06:00] <ralnaemi> Are there any steps I have to take after installing kubuntu-desktop in order to use KDE?
[06:01] <ericy> DarkSector: And I don't understand: Are wanting to make tripple boot of 2 linuxes and 1 Windows XP?
[06:02] <ericy> DarkSector: It would help if you could tell me the sizes (GB) of your 4 existing partition areas?
[06:02] <ericy> DarkSector: And I don't understand: Are wanting to make tripple boot of 2 linuxes and 1 Windows XP?
[06:03] <DarkSector> ericy, /dev/sda1 74gb   /dev/sda2 73gb   /dev/sda3 78 gb         I am trying to make a new journaling file system partition, the installation comes later
[06:04] <DarkSector> ericy,  right now my objective is to club the unallocated space and make a new partition, with swap
[06:04] <raido> tonnez: still there?
[06:04] <DarkSector> ericy, lemme give you a screenshot for my gparted, that'll be clear 'nuff
[06:05] <ericy> DarkSector: Yes that's exactly as I wanted, but was afraid to ask.
[06:05] <DarkSector> lol @ afraid to ask
[06:06] <DarkSector> ericy, http://img97.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1ht.png/

[06:07] <kaushal> hi
[06:07] <kaushal> Any good apps for task/event available in Ubuntu ?
[06:07] <ericy> DarkSector: Looking..
[06:07] <kaushal> I mean task reminder
[06:07] <DarkSector> ericy, yeah imma use an independent website like imageshack
[06:08] <ericy> DarkSector: OK, looking..
[06:08] <DarkSector> kaushal, http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/category/app/ I think the first app should do the trick
[06:09] <raido> DarkSector: I know your working on a solution, however, just quick piece of advice. If you are going to be doing the whole LFS thing, I highly suggest you do it on a seperate HD or in a VM. You will be going through some annoying grub gyrations till you get the LFS install running properly. Just a heads up.
[06:10] <Da|Mummy> how do i enable ssl connections to usenet on ubuntu?
[06:10] <DarkSector> raido, good advice, I should just concentrate on making a partition though, I have unallocated spaces in my hdd, I was thinking of clubbing them together atleast, I'll do this on an external partition
[06:10] <ericy> DarkSector: Oh, I see you have a total of about 8GB unalloted (from 3 areas).
[06:10] <DarkSector> ericy, correct, the highlighted one was my swap until recently :D
[06:13] <raido> DarkSector: You free space in non contiguous, you cant combine them into one partition, you have to use it separately or you can use LVM in linux to use it like its all one space.
[06:14] <ericy> DarkSector: So, I have used gparted many times, I have up to 10 partitions on my hdd.  But I don't know what the LKS (or whatever) is.  You can move partitions using gparted OR ...
[06:14] <ericy> DarkSector: (But it takes many many hours to move such big partitions!)
[06:16] <ericy> DarkSector: OR  you could copy them (faster) from present hdd to a new 250GB HDD (faster and you have a backup! at the same time!

[06:17] <DarkSector> ericy, sorry about that, some guy's messing with the college network, stupid DOS attacks
[06:17] <DarkSector> ericy, it took me 20 minutes
[06:17] <DarkSector> last night
[06:17] <ericy> DarkSector: What took 20min?
[06:18] <DarkSector> ericy, to shift data and to create a 4 Gig partition from a 78 gig partition resizing etc.
[06:18] <AndroUser> yo guys
[06:18] <AndroUser> one weird question, anyone using irc on android?
[06:19] <AndroUser> anybody?!
[06:19] <ericy> DarkSector: You mean you resized a 78G partition, shrinking it by 4GB?
[06:19] <DarkSector> ericy, yes
[06:19] <DarkSector> now I want to undo it
[06:19] <DarkSector> and create my swap back
[06:20] <ericy> OK. But I'm talking about gparted MOVING a 70GB partition ... that's REALLY slow.
[06:20] <DarkSector> okay, but is that required here ?
[06:22] <ericy> DarkSector: We are having a communication problem, because I don't know what you have in your existing partitions...
[06:22] <DarkSector> ericy, okay can we please do it on a private message ? I don't like cluttering the main channel
[06:33] <pooky> Can anyone recommend a calendar application, preferabbly gtk, that can subscribe to ics type calendar?
[06:33] <pooky> preferably even.
[06:38] <DarkSector> hello, here's the problem I am facing http://img97.imageshack.us/i/screenshot1ht.png/ I need to revert the 5 gig unallocated memory to /dev/sda2 and use the 1.8 gig allocated memory as swap
[06:38] <DarkSector> how do I go about doing that ?
[06:38] <Aquaguy> Hello folks
[06:38] <Aquaguy> anyone knows what's the name of the mysql developer package?
[06:38] <Aquaguy> I need to download it from apt-get
[06:38] <researcher1> I want 2 make available all installed programs of Maverick 10.10 to Lynx 10.04. Is it possible without separate  downloading?
[06:39] <ejv> DarkSector: if you used LVM when setting up your filesystems, you can allocate that spare 5G, if you didn't... it can't really be done
[06:39] <ejv> (not elegantly)
[06:39] <DarkSector> ejv, LVM ?
[06:39] <raido> researcher1: they will be different versions
[06:39] <ejv> logical volume management
[06:40] <DarkSector> ejv, I just used ubuntu's default partition manager, I don't remember if I used LVM
[06:40] <ejv> you would know if you did because it's a more advanced configuration, so you probably didn't
[06:41] <researcher1> raido: but will the same programs be accessible to Lynx 10.04 if I dontwant to download . Downloading will take too long a time
[06:41] <rww> plus the desktop/live CD doesn't support partitioning as LVM
[06:41] <DarkSector> ejv, probably, its wierd though, I can allocated this in Windows
[06:41] <DarkSector> rww, gotcha
[06:41] <amh345> is there a way to prevent gnomes desktop going to a locked screen while rhythmBox is playing?
[06:41] <raido> researcher1: You wouldnt what to do that, the packages will break things because many of them will be different versions.
[06:42] <amh345> it's maddening leaving it for a few minutes and having to enter my p/w to sip a song.
[06:42] <pythoned> Hi, I'm running ubuntu 10.10 and need to keep unfortunately windows in virtual machine. My question is, it is possible to get my ubuntu compromised while running windows in virtual box?(but not having wine installed).
[06:42] <ejv> rww, didn't know what, only used ubuntu server, darksector, what you could try doing is rsyncing or dding 'large' portions of your OS to the spare space, stuff like /var, /tmp, /opt tends to be heavier, and then adjust your mounting scheme in /etc/fstab accordingly, YMMV.
[06:42] <ericy> DarkSector: You have to gparted "resize"--shift that big 73GB partition which will take MANY hours (it will have to move or shift 73 GB of data 'up').
[06:42] <DarkSector> ejv, good option
[06:42] <researcher1> raido: ok.Lomg downloads seems unavoidable for 10.04 saperately
[06:42] <DarkSector> ericy, hmm, not an option
[06:42] <DarkSector> I should try doing this from windows
[06:42] <ericy> .
[06:43] <ejv> pythoned: possible, of course. likely? not so much.
[06:43] <raido> researcher1: If you upgrade to 10.04 to 10.10, then you can do it, because you will have 2 10.10 installs. Then in the future you can save by only downloading once
[06:44] <researcher1> raido: presently Im on 10.10 can I downgrade to 10.04?
[06:44] <bazhang> researcher1, no
[06:44] <ejv> no, and even if you could, it wouldn't be recommended at all.
[06:45] <bazhang> !downgrade > researcher1
[06:45] <researcher1> then to have all earlier applications of 10.10 available on 10.04 will require doing what?
[06:45] <ejv> what?
[06:45] <bazhang> researcher1, such as what apps
[06:46] <pythoned> ejv,  And another thing, is it possible to get my router infected if let's say I have an infected machine that connects to the router? I'm talking about it's firmware..
[06:46] <researcher1> GIS,GRASS,Scilab, octave, Qcad almost all my engineering application which need long time to download
[06:47] <researcher1> also kile,latex,gcompiz, etc
[06:47] <ejv> doesn't ubuntu store the binaries in a local cache somewhere
[06:47] <ejv> why not copy them to a usb stick or something...
[06:48] <raido> ejv: Because he has packages for one version that he wants to use on another. Not reccomended
[06:48] <kaushal> is there a reminder in tasque ?
[06:48] <tonnez> why is my Core i7 ubuntu server have a i686 kernel?
[06:48] <tonnez> can i convert this?
[06:49] <dejan_> I have probems watching videos in  the browser
[06:49] <kaushal> like a pop up or some sort of alert
[06:49] <raido> tonnez: no. you need to reinstall the entire OS
[06:49] <dejan_> i did some command guy here told me and  since then i have problems
[06:49] <ejv> raido: ah, im late to the conversation apparently.
[06:49] <Leakin> yes hello does the latest ubuntu have support for MSI installers
[06:49] <ejv> tonnez: if it's working you could just enable PAE and not break something that's fixed :p
[06:50] <rww> tonnez: because you installed Ubuntu 32-bit. You can't go from 32-bit to 64-bit without a reinstall.
[06:50] <raido> ejv: np, technically its possible but all the stuff he has there is bound to have newer packages
[06:50] <ejv> it's prolly hit or miss with unknown scientific/academic software *shrug*
[06:50] <dejan_> i had problems when I watched videos in fullscreen they had white flshes so one guy here on #ubuntu told me to execute terminal command and fter that sometimes I can watch videos in browser but sometimes no
[06:50] <pythoned> Leakin,  It will never have such things, google for "WINEHQ"
[06:50] <tonnez> ejv, rrw: 2.6.35-25-generic (SMP) i686
[06:50] <tonnez> i'm assuming that is not good for i7
[06:50] <tonnez> how do i enable PAE?
[06:51] <tonnez> apache will not benefit from PAE will it?
[06:51] <bazhang> tonnez, install linux-generic-pae
[06:51] <raido> tonnez: do you want PAE to access more ram?
[06:51] <ejv> would require compiling a new kernel if your memory isn't already fully addressed, or using a precompiled image
[06:51] <Leakin> pythoned what if we petition the developers to include MSI support
[06:51] <Leakin> for easier microsoft integration
[06:51] <pythoned> Leakin,  MSI is proprietary...
[06:51] <tonnez> raido: my server only has 4gb
[06:51] <ejv> i think tonnez doesn't know what PAE is.. lol
[06:51] <bazhang> !brainstorm > Leakin
[06:52] <rww> Leakin: #ubuntu is for Ubuntu technical support, not your personal amusement. Find somewhere else to troll.
[06:52] <raido> tonnez: why do you think yo need it
[06:52] <dejan_> any help?
[06:52] <tonnez> raido: im just trying to figure out if apache will benefit
[06:52] <tonnez> pae = physical address extension
[06:52] <tonnez> i.e. 64bit
[06:52] <raido> tonnez: no, it wont.
[06:52] <tonnez> okay, then i guess i don't need it ;)
[06:52] <ejv> pae != 64bit
[06:52] <tonnez> thanks :)
[06:52] <raido> tonnez: you dont need it.
[06:53] <raido> ejv: there are PAE 32bit kernels
[06:53] <ejv> i know
[06:53] <tonnez> oh pae is only for 4gb>
[06:53] <tonnez> i see
[06:53] <ejv> im just saying that calling a memory allocation extension feature '64bit' is awfully negligent
[06:54] <raido> ejv: gotcha
[06:54] <dejan_> I have probems watching videos in  the browser
[06:54] <dejan_> i did some command guy here told me and  since then i have problems
[06:54] <dejan_> i had problems when I watched videos in fullscreen they had white flshes so one guy here on #ubuntu told me to execute terminal command and fter that sometimes I can watch videos in browser but sometimes no
[06:54] <FloodBot1> dejan_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:54] <Aquaguy> how can I create an alias of a folder and place it inside of /var/www/ ?
[06:54] <tonnez> ejv: no need to flame the ignorant
[06:55] <airtonix> Aquaguy: man ln
[06:55] <ejv> not flaming, educating.
[06:55] <airtonix> ejv: some people take offense at being educated
[06:55] <airtonix> or 'edecated'
[06:56] <tonnez> ejv: wikipedia educated me, you said the following: "i think tonnez doesn't know what PAE is.. lol" and "pae != 64bit" and "...calling a memory allocation extension feature '64bit' is awfully negligent"
[06:56] <dejan_> why you dont help me?
[06:56] <tonnez> airtonix: ^
[06:56]  * tonnez sighs
[06:56] <ejv> i doubt you'll see any noticeable performance gain moving to x86_64 from i686, it's likely more hassle than it's worth
[06:57] <raido> dejan_: relax friend, I suggest you make sure you have the flashplugin installed rather that the gnash plugin
[06:57] <Aquaguy> airtonix, thank you, worked like a charm
[06:57] <dejan_> browser evenn cant load pges with videos
[06:58] <ejv> now if you had 32gb of available addresable space, I wouldn't recommend PAE because of the overhead, that's when a 64bit change would be a worthwhile ordeal.
[06:58] <dejan_> it loads them veeeery slow
[06:58] <dejan_> Rains: how to check
[06:59] <airtonix> Aquaguy: the other way you can do it is to use the --bind function of mount ( which overcomes limitations imposed by soft symlinks)
[07:00] <airtonix> Aquaguy: or you could rebase the /var/www (and it's associated /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default to have a document root of /var/www/default/public_html/, then put your new content at /var/www/VIRTUALHOSTNAME/public_html/ and create a name based vhost def file in /etc/apache2/sites-available/VIRTUALHOSTNAME
[07:01] <airtonix> Aquaguy: depends on what you want to achieve really
[07:02] <dejan_> Rains: how to check
[07:05] <litropy> I have downloaded all the files at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/nux/trunk/files/head:/examples/ and am now trying to compile. Any ideas?
[07:05] <rww> !crossposting | litropy
[07:05] <dejan_> teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel me
[07:05] <bazhang> dejan_, patience
[07:05] <litropy> sorry, rww. I'll be sure so ship you some high quality oil :D
[07:05] <dejan_> i have wait 20 min how much more?
[07:06] <rww> !patience
[07:06] <bazhang> dejan_, check in your package manager
[07:06] <dejan_> ok
[07:07] <litropy> it's weird. the directory doesn't confain the files seemingly necessary for autoconf
[07:10] <litropy> I got it - the configure.ac was in the parent directory
[07:13] <_antant> um, where do I find my smb.conf? I thought it was /etc/ but when I gedit it it's blank
[07:14] <sidh> Greetings
[07:14] <alkisg> Hi. Am I correct in that newer Ubuntu versions don't support floppy disks out of the box, and to get support for them, one would need to manually install the fdutils package?
[07:14] <_antant> hi
[07:14] <yurimxpxman> How can I find out what wireless adapter model I'm using?
[07:15] <sidh> I have installed a theme for ubuntu , and I would like to copy that theme for others users , which directory do I have to copy ?
[07:15] <Cork> yurimxpxman: should be listed in lshw
[07:16] <_antant> Hey Cork. Should my smb.conf not be in /etc/ ?
[07:17] <raido> alkisg: Im pretty sure you will have floppy support on a default install
