[00:02] <gmaiarodrigo> Hello, everybody I've tried several ways to do this http://www.isnull.com.ar/2011/05/share-internet-with-ubuntu-1104.html on Ubuntu 4.11 server, but can not make my subnet have Internet access. The DHCP server works normally assigns the IP client machines just right. The only difference is that this tutorial rather than a wireless card I have two network cards eth0 and eth1. The eth0...
[00:02] <gmaiarodrigo> ...receives the external IP and eth1 is the DHCP ... can anyone help me?
[00:02] <gmaiarodrigo> *11.04
[00:06] <vfw> gmaiarodrigo: Did you do   sudo sh -c "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward"
[00:06] <vfw> ?
[00:06] <pooltable> Action parsnip what do i do next>?
[00:07] <gmaiarodrigo> vfw: yes
[00:07] <gmaiarodrigo> vfw: is there any other more detailed tutorial?
[00:09] <vfw> gmaiarodrigo: Did you ,edit /etc/sysctl.conf ?
[00:09] <rhizmoe> wtf is it that keeps screwing with my mouse speed?
[00:10] <pooltable> hi help installed jdownloader?
[00:10] <pooltable>  what do i need to do
[00:10] <rhizmoe> just browser, text editor, etc...doing my normal coding business, and without warning the mouse pointer will become very accellerated
[00:10] <love4linux> hello, can anyone help me partition my laptop? I have ubuntu 11.04 and I want to make space for a Win7 OS. I tried gparted but i can do anything on my disk because it is mounted.
[00:11] <rhizmoe> love4linux: use a livecd
[00:11] <Polah> love4linux: You'll need to boot from a LiveCD or USB to modify your system partition.
[00:12] <love4linux> Polah hmmm...is it ok to use the installation cd that I used to install ubuntu?
[00:12] <pooltable> hi help installed jdownloader?
[00:12] <pooltable>  what do i need to do \
[00:12] <gmaiarodrigo> vfw: I did not understand was this command line: sudo iptables-A FORWARD-o eth0-s <IP_ADDRESS>/24-i eth1-m conntrack - ctstate NEW-j ACCEPT
[00:12] <gmaiarodrigo> do not know why is eth0 and eth1, if the devices are eth0 and wlan0
[00:12] <Polah> love4linux, yes, that is a live session.
[00:12] <vfw> gmaiarodrigo: What subnet did you use for inside LAN?
[00:12] <devilman__> hello, i have a laptop with xubuntu maverick, this laptop it's panasonic toughbook cf 73, my problem is not recognize touchscreen
[00:12] <gmaiarodrigo> I did not understand was this command line: sudo iptables-A FORWARD-o eth0-s <IP_ADDRESS>/24-i eth1-m conntrack - ctstate NEW-j ACCEPT do not know why is eth0 and eth1, if the devices are eth0 and wlan0
[00:12] <vfw> gmaiarodrigo: That is an example
[00:12] <gmaiarodrigo> vfw: <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:12] <vfw> ok
[00:13] <vfw> see my pm gmaiarodrigo
[00:13] <rhizmoe> is there a way to restart just the mouse driver, or do i need to restart gdm/X/etc.?
[00:13] <love4linux> Polah and what about the partitioning procedure? is it easy to be done or there are many things involved?
[00:13] <Polah> love4linux: Boot up the liveCD, select "Try Ubuntu" and then you can use gparted, it's already installed.
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> pooltable: add the ppa and install the app
[00:14] <love4linux> Polah nice one.. thanks a lot
[00:14] <Polah> love4linux, back up important data before resizing your partition though.
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> pooltable: the ppa will enable you to install the app just like any other
[00:16] <pooltable> Enter the complete APT line of the repository that you want to add as source what do i need to put there ?
[00:16] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[00:16] <neer2005> anyone know why ubuntu isnt letting me rw an hfsplus partition without SU ?
 and after i access it as SU, it wont let me change permissions
[00:16] <rhizmoe> ubuntuforums.com is being naughty in the google department
[00:16] <rhizmoe> er, .org
[00:16] <flodine> lol
[00:16] <Cortex> hos so?
[00:16] <pooltable> this ppa:jd-team/jdownloader?
[00:16] <Cortex> how so*
[00:16] <Polah> pooltable: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:<author>/<name>
[00:16] <Polah> yes, probably that
[00:17] <neer2005> can anyone help?
[00:17] <rhizmoe> by displaying different information to the crawler than the user arriving through SERPs
[00:17] <rhizmoe> neer2005: mount always requires root, or a suid agent like automount, iirc
[00:17] <Polah> neer2005: You should use sudo, not su. Are you mounting it with appropriate permissions?
[00:18] <neer2005> Polah, im not sure
[00:18] <neer2005> wait
[00:18] <neer2005> yes
[00:19] <neer2005> from terminal i ran sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/MacOS
[00:19] <pooltable> polah look here http://paste.ubuntu.com/678414/
[00:20] <Polah> neer2005: Try this: sudo mount -t hfsplus -o defaults /dev/sda1 /media/MacOS
[00:20] <freebird> you guys, when I try to compile wine, I get : checking whether gcc -m32 works... noconfigure: error: Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries.
[00:20] <freebird> which package should I install please ? google can't help me, please ?
[00:20] <freebird> gcc, libc6, glib, all there
[00:20] <Polah> freebird: Which version of wine are you trying to compile?
[00:20] <freebird> anyone ploease
[00:20] <freebird> 1 sec
[00:21] <freebird> Polah, 1.2.3
[00:21] <pooltable> help with http://paste.ubuntu.com/678414/???
[00:21] <freebird> stable
[00:21] <Jordan_U> freebird: Why are you trying to compile wine from source?
[00:21] <xangua> or simply install wine from repository freebird
[00:21] <happygolucky> freebird: do you have build-essential
[00:21] <Polah> freebird: You can install 1.2 through the repos, or add a ppa for 1.3
[00:22] <happygolucky> freebird: and did you try apt-get build-dep wine
[00:22] <Polah> pooltable: Then just do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install jdownloader
[00:22] <freebird> happygolucky, when I do that, it  asks me to download 700 mg
[00:22] <freebird> happygolucky, it's too much
[00:22] <neer2005> Polah, i get sudo mount -t hfsplus -o defaults /dev/sda1 /media/MacOS
[00:22] <Jordan_U> freebird: Why are you trying to compile wine from source?
[00:22] <freebird> which are the essentials ?
[00:22] <neer2005> Polah, i meant mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
[00:22] <neer2005>        missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[00:22] <neer2005>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[00:22] <neer2005>        dmesg | tail  or so
[00:23] <Jordan_U> !pastebin | neer2005
[00:23] <ionite> what is the difference between LTS 10.4 and 11.04?
[00:23] <xangua> !lts | ionite
[00:23] <Polah> neer2005: are you sure it's hfs+ then? You could try forcing it
[00:24] <pooltable> thanks polah
[00:24] <flodine> LTS or 11.04
[00:24] <freebird> Polah, ? which packages are the essentials ?
[00:24] <freebird> how do I find out about it ?
[00:25] <devilman__> alguno sabe como configurar el tactil de un panasonic toughbook cf 73 con xubuntu maverick??
[00:25] <Jordan_U> freebird: Please answer my question. Why are you trying to compile wine?
[00:26] <th0r> devilman__: solamente ingles
[00:26] <Jordan_U> !es | devilman__
[00:28] <pooltable> ok where is jdownloader found at ?
[00:28] <xangua> pooltable: apps-internet
[00:28] <Polah> pooltable: Was it not in the ppa you enabled?
[00:28] <pooltable> got it
[00:30] <Jordan_U>  /whois freebird
[00:30] <freebird> Jordan_U, man
[00:30] <rhizmoe> BUSTED
[00:30] <freebird> beccause I want to run nusphere
[00:31] <Polah> freebird: Install it from the repos...
[00:31] <freebird> and the wine that comes by default sucks,
[00:31] <Cortex> WAHEY! the classic [spacebar]/whois mistake, brilliant
[00:31] <xangua> freebird: add the wine ppa
[00:31] <freebird> well, ok, I know, I could
[00:31] <xangua> ....
[00:31] <rhizmoe> turns out that unplugging and replugging my mouse fixes the accelleration problem.
[00:31] <Polah> freebird: The wine that comes by default is 1.2 as well.
[00:31]  * Cortex has the urge to /whois freebird now
[00:31] <Polah> Or enable the wine development PPA for 1.3
[00:31] <freebird> I see, but doesn't work
[00:31] <freebird> Polah, unfortunately
[00:32] <freebird> any way, which is the pack withe the essentials ?
[00:32] <Jordan_U> freebird: What makes you think that compiling wine from source will fix anything?
[00:32] <freebird> anyone knows it ?
[00:32] <Polah> freebird: What essentials?
[00:32] <freebird> Jordan_U, because it did in my office
[00:32] <ActionParsnip> freebird: tried the wine ppa?
[00:32] <Gr8lady> hello
[00:32] <Jordan_U> freebird: To compile wine you need pretty much everything that "sudo apt-get build-dep wine" will try to install.
[00:32] <freebird> Polah, checking whether gcc -m32 works... noconfigure: error: Cannot build a 32-bit program, you need to install 32-bit development libraries.
[00:32] <Polah> freebird: and the 1.3 ppa doesn't?
[00:33] <freebird> ActionParsnip, will try soon, upgrading the system
[00:33] <Polah> freebird: Are you sure the source you have is for your architecture>
[00:33] <happygolucky> freebird: sudo echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu natty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:34] <freebird> Polah, haven't tryed ppa so far,
[00:34] <freebird> upgrading the system
[00:34] <freebird> Polah, I'm sure, just needs some packages,
[00:34] <henson> Can anyone recommend a good font for xterm?
[00:34] <Jordan_U> happygolucky: Running echo as root won't change the fact that the shell, which is what is writing to the file when you use '>>', is running as a normal user.
[00:35] <freebird> happygolucky, sudo echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-wine/ppa/ubuntu natty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[00:35] <ActionParsnip> henson: system is very readable
[00:35] <Polah> happygolucky, freebird: Use sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa instead
[00:35] <freebird> permission denied
[00:35] <happygolucky> Jordan_U: it's not a separate command such as && or | so i respectfully disagree
[00:35] <Jordan_U> happygolucky: echo foo | sudo tee -a /path/to/file
[00:35] <Jordan_U> happygolucky: Try it.
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> freebird: happygolucky: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[00:36] <freebird> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa instead
[00:36] <ActionParsnip> why mess with sources.list
[00:36] <Polah> add-apt-repository verifies it as well, manually adding the line to sources.list doesn't I believe
[00:37] <ActionParsnip> it also imports the gpg key
[00:37] <ntr0py> Is it possible to output pulse audio to both analog and hdmi simultaneously?
[00:38] <zerosum> hi all! Where are the x libs and headers at on natty?
[00:38] <zerosum> i assume /usr/bix/xorg and /usr/include/xorg?
[00:38] <zerosum> opps not bix lib
[00:39] <Braber001> question is there a package I can download that acts as a RPN calc?
[00:39] <freebird> 2 min
[00:39] <freebird> still downloading
[00:40] <jessa> im having a problem spoofing my mac address in ubuntu 11.04
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> !info orpie
[00:41] <ActionParsnip> jessa: you can set it in /etc/network/interfaces  not sure of another way
[00:41] <ionite> xangua: for a netbook user like me. should i use LTS or 11.04?
[00:41] <xangua> ionite: use what you want
[00:41] <ionite> xangua: haha. that's so generic
[00:41] <Polah> ionite: You could look up your netbook on Ubuntu's certified hardware list
[00:41] <jessa> the problem is when i try to bring down the network interface using ifconfig it brings it back up automatically
[00:42] <happygolucky> ActionParsnip: that gave me the repo for oneiric--which i am on except i use a scarce architecture so pretty much 30-40 percent of the time i have to compile from source
[00:42] <ActionParsnip> happygolucky: oneiric isn't supported here
[00:43] <happygolucky> ActionParsnip: i.e. there's nothing in apt-get as far as wine goes for me to install in binary form or otherwise
[00:43] <freebird> anyway, so you guys don't know which are the: 32-bit development libraries ???
[00:43] <freebird> any clues ?
[00:43] <happygolucky> ActionParsnip: well the snippet of code you gave pushed the wine repo from natty to oneiric
[00:43] <ActionParsnip> happygolucky: the command will match your release, so that's normal
[00:43] <jessa> 32 bits? isnt that a little outdated? even my netbook is like 1.6gigabits
[00:44] <tfitts> does anyone here use vlc to stream the audio output of their computer to another computer on their network (or does anyone know how and can help me?)
[00:44] <ionite> Polah: interface wise, any difference from 11.04?
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> tfitts: I use samba to share files, which I then access remotely
[00:44] <Polah> jessa: 32-bit is the address space size of the processor's register. 32-bit allows it 2^32 memory address which is 4 billion and so which is 3.2GB or so of useable RAM.
[00:44] <ntr0py> tfitts: i thought thats possible with pulse audio, but i dont know how
[00:44] <ActionParsnip> jessa: 32bit is the architecture of the cpu, not the speed
[00:44] <Polah> ionite: What do oyu mean?
[00:44] <Jordan_U> ionite: A lot of work has gone into Unity recently and I expect hardware support to be better in 11.04. At the same time, if you don't like upgrading often then an LTS release may suite you better.
[00:45] <freebird> after upgrading the system, to build wine I'll have to download only 300mb, not 700 anymore
[00:45] <tfitts> ActionParsnip: I'm talking about streaming the actual audio output of a program, not a media file
[00:45] <jessa> samba is complete shit. us nfs
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> jessa: language please, keep it family friendly
[00:45] <Polah> jessa: Mind your language please.
[00:45] <ionite> Jordan_U: i understand but 11.04 ubuntu is too heavy for my netbook? there's no lighter versions?
[00:45] <tfitts> jessa: and tell me you were kidding about 32bit and 1.6gigabits
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> jessa: I use samba, works just fine
[00:46] <jessa> samba is slow compared to nfs
[00:46] <tfitts> jessa: cuz if you weren't, nobody cares about your opinion
[00:46] <Luckrider> Does anyone know how to add a custom binding for a superkey in 11.04. my IBM Thinkpad T42p doesn't have a superkey, and I want to set fn+control to be that. I have the Configuration Editor open now, but I am not sure how I would set that.
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> jessa: never had an issue with speed
[00:46] <jessa> i have issues with microsoft is all
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> Luckrider: look in keyboard settings
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> jessa: then thats not slow is it..
[00:47] <Luckrider> Thanks ActionParsnip
[00:47] <jessa> i think its slow
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> jessa: that's fine
[00:47] <jessa> plus nfs is alot easier to do
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> jessa: I have some decent socket options and it blazes
[00:47] <jessa> and my network doesnt have to be windows compatible so nfs ftw
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> jessa: i install samba, restore my smb.conf from backup and restart the service, I doubt anything is easier than that
[00:48] <jessa> but im not here for a flame war about samba vs nfs
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> jessa: cool
[00:48] <jessa> i want to know my ubuntu brings my network devices back up automatically
[00:48] <jessa> sudo ifconfig eth1 down
[00:48] <cinematic> Good evening all
[00:49] <jessa> and a few seconds later it reconnects to my network
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> jessa: what network manager app do you use (if any)
[00:49] <jessa> ive just been using ifconfig
[00:49] <jessa> i tried macchangers as well
[00:49] <ActionParsnip> jessa: sure but is network manager or wicd etc running?
[00:50] <jessa> whats the process name do you know?
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> jessa: is it a desktop OS?
[00:50] <jessa> its 11.04 im using unity because its a netbook
[00:50] <jessa> as much as i dislike unity it give me more screen space
[00:51] <Polah> jessa: sudo service networking stop will stop the networking service until it's brought back up manually or through a reboot
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> jessa: i use lxde on my laptops, lots of space and fewer resources used.
[00:51] <overview> How to fix this problem: rm: cannot remove `/var/run/xapi_init_complete.cookie': Read-only file system
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> jessa: you will be using network manager, which may be bringing the network back up
[00:51] <jessa> stop: unknown instance
[00:52] <ntr0py> jessa: ps -A | grep NetworkManager
[00:52] <Pici> !xlibs | zerosum this may help
[00:52] <jessa> i did sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop
[00:52] <zwrench> Does ubuntu work on inspiron mini 10n?
[00:52] <zwrench> because meego sucks
[00:52] <jessa> it says ignoring unknows interface eth1=eth1
[00:53] <jessa> this smells like a driver issue to me
[00:53] <zwrench> is there any way I can check for sure other than installing it?
[00:53] <zwrench> because I don't want too much of a hassle with drivers
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> zwrench: should do, yes
[00:54] <ntr0py> jessa: driver issues: look with dmesg
[00:54] <ActionParsnip> zwrench: try a liveCD to test
[00:54] <iluminator101> how do i remove a log in process or k out a startup process
[00:54] <overview> hey guys, i have problem with      read-only file system
[00:55] <overview> i try to clear log directory, but all commands say read only
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> !boot | iluminator101
[00:57] <zwrench> is there any way to install apt-get using zypper?
[00:57] <ActionParsnip> !info zypper
[00:57] <Zburatorul> i was running an intensive IO task, my graphical interface hang, i switched to virtual terminal, and now I can't go back
[00:57] <Pici> zwrench: er... apt-get should already be installed.
[00:58] <Zburatorul> why does my monitor keep claiming "No Signal" even after a reboot?
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> zwrench: zypper seems to be a suse thing
[00:58] <Pici> ActionParsnip: hes running meego o.O
[00:58] <Randall> I'm no longer able to connect to my server via FTP. I can connect via ssh. I'm using ubuntu server 10.10 and filezilla/ notepad++ to ftp (vsftp).

[01:06] <Randall> I also read that firewalls often cause issues with FTP access, but if I'm having the same issue whether through my ISP or through my broadband connection it couldn't be that right?
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> leinadninor: you do know emerald hasn't been developed for in over 3 years?
[01:06] <Randall> *mobile broadband connection
[01:06] <leinadninor> not to mention the themes themselves don't load, like at all...and this is after the git-fix/recompile
[01:06] <goer> ntr0py: Ive been using the network connection app in panel and using SSH
[01:06] <ActionParsnip> leinadninor: its very dead
[01:06] <bt> i'm sorry but i'm new in ubuntu and xchat irc
[01:07] <bt> i cant understand you!!
[01:07] <Polah> Randall: Outgoing traffic shouldn't be restricted by default. Are you sure the FTP server is properly configured?
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> bt: ask in #freenode   they wil sort you out
[01:07] <leinadninor> this i do, but it was working wonderfully a cpl days ago before recursive rm made me have to reinstall
[01:07] <bt> ok actionparsnip thank you
[01:07] <Randall> Polah, it has been for almost a year now, cant think of any changes that would have affected it tonight.
[01:07] <ActionParsnip> bt: np :)
[01:07] <leinadninor> so ActionParsnip does that = a no?
[01:07] <ntr0py> goer: but be warned, ssh encrypts file transfers via sftp, so its slow
[01:07] <overview> Polah: yes, this /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw) now read-only because system protect.. and now all files i try delet dont have sucess
[01:08] <ActionParsnip> leinadninor: not sure, I don't use it
[01:08] <goer> To be honest, I hv this nice fancy Netgear wirelss/cable router but hv no idea how to set it up, despite many attempts
[01:08] <leinadninor> do you use compiz?
[01:08] <goer> ntr0py: yes, thnx. I noticed that :(
[01:09] <Polah> overview: Your system drive is read-only? You could use sudo to remove unecessary files, but you'd have to be careful not to remove anything necessary.
[01:09] <happygolucky> overview: does it say initramfs?
[01:09] <leinadninor> ActionParsnip do you use compiz?
[01:09] <overview> Polah:  look this rm: cannot remove `DSET_Report_for_[PE1950].zip': Read-only file system
[01:09] <Polah> Is it possible to remount the system drive?
[01:09] <ActionParsnip> leinadninor: no
[01:09] <Polah> overview: sudo rm DSET_Report_for_[PE1950].zip    also consider clearing your trash, that might take up a lot of space
[01:09] <goer> ntr0py: Ideally I would really like to use my wireless netgear WPN824 V2 router for all of this
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> leinadninor: not worth it at all
[01:10] <leinadninor> god damn, I had the perfect setup before doing a rm -rf as sudo and reversing the dir and file in the command...
[01:10] <goer> (as I have updstairs and downstairs house
[01:10] <goer> )
[01:10] <leinadninor> ActionParsnip, so you're not the eye-candy type then, may I assume?
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> leinadninor: thats why its one of the worst commands
[01:10] <Polah> leinadninor, that's why you don't run recurvise commands from high directories
[01:10] <iluminator101> how do i manually add a k in front of startup services?
[01:10] <ntr0py> goer: i dont quite understand what you want to do
[01:10] <leinadninor> it wasnt
[01:10] <ActionParsnip> leinadninor: on my lappy, no. I use KDE on my media system and it looks ok
[01:10] <overview> Polah: I try with sudo, but dont have sucess, read-only file system
[01:11] <leinadninor> from a high dir, I was just trying to purge my sys of a bugged up script
[01:11] <leinadninor> wound up wiping /etc and /~
[01:11] <Polah> overview: sudo should be able to do it... that's very strange
[01:11] <Polah> hang on a moment, I'll try something
[01:11] <leinadninor> ya I know.....that was like the dumbest n00b move ever.
[01:11] <anthonyzambrano> can i install ubuntu on a GUID partition table…just installing grub to / or the ubuntu partition?
[01:11] <goer> ntr0py: have a network arrangement that I can use throughout my house. Laptop upstairs and my other 2 puters downstairs, so they can all acces each other
[01:12] <goer> all wireless of course
[01:12] <leinadninor> this is why su and extreme sleep depro should never mix
[01:12] <ActionParsnip> leinadninor: its also why backups should exist too
[01:13] <anthonyzambrano> PSA:  Install /home to a separate partition…..re-install whenever
[01:13] <goer> leinadninor: I use Luckybackup all the time. Set&forget. Gr8
[01:13] <Randall> If the ftp services has been working before and something caused it to stop but I didn't edit the /ect/vsftpd.conf file then I'm guessing I should start troubleshooting somewhere else, just not sure where...
[01:13] <ntr0py> ok, so the wlan netto data rate is your hard limit for file transfers
[01:14] <leinadninor> yeah I know, I neglcted that too. I R t3h bad usr :(
[01:14] <leinadninor> is deja-dupe any good?
[01:14] <goer> ntr0py: was that for me?
[01:14] <leinadninor> just installed that with the fresh install
[01:15] <Polah> overview, try this: sudo mount -t ext3 -o remount,rw /dev/sda1 /
[01:15] <anthonyzambrano> Soooooo….Ubuntu + GUID partition table?  anyone?
[01:15] <goer> leinadninor: tried that and got rid of it...too slow. Luckybackup is IT for me.
[01:16] <overview> Polah: yes, i try this another time, look reply mount: block device /dev/sda1 is write-protected, mounting read-only
[01:16] <goer> brb.....in 30 minutes. hv an appointment with the doc
[01:16] <leinadninor> Luckybackup eh? Thank you for the advice. I'll be purging deja, and installing that as we speak goer
[01:16] <Polah> overview: Hmm, do you have a LiveCD/USB, or can you make one?
[01:17] <Jordan_U> andygraybeal: Ubuntu works fine with GPT. Do *not* install grub's boot sector to a partition, install it to the mbr.
[01:17] <andygraybeal> yes, not me, i understand
[01:17] <andygraybeal> thank you :)
[01:17] <overview> Polah: no, this server at data center and, tomorrow i go to idc
[01:17] <Jordan_U> andygraybeal: Also make sure you have a BIOS Boot Partition (which Ubuntu's automatic partitioning creates by default).
[01:17] <Jordan_U> anthonyzambrano: ^^
[01:18] <Randall> I'm sure it has to be server side, but what else other that the vsftpd config file would affect my ability to ftp into the server?
[01:18] <anthonyzambrano> Jordan_U:  gotcha…But i could SWEAR I've done this before…installing grub to a partition, with success.  Is this new?
[01:18] <Polah> Randall: IP compatibility? I recall vsftpd having a config to enable IPv6 and disable IPv4
[01:19] <Jordan_U> anthonyzambrano: Installing without an embedded area is unreliable. It will work initially but is prone to breakage (this is true of any bootloader).
[01:20] <Polah> overview: It seems very strange that the filesystem refuses to be mounted as writeable. Someone else might be able to help but I think the best way would be to contact the datacenter and organise a technician to start a live session and provide you with KVM over IP access. It may cost a fiar bit though
[01:21] <anthonyzambrano> Jordan_U: using chimera on my hackintosh, and I'm not too much of a newb to boot live and reinstall grub if it breaks.  <-------In THIS scenario, it will work, at least initially?
[01:21] <overview> Polah: look this http://pastebin.com/mH2Ajh1d
[01:21] <todd_> stupid chown question: I get rwx in chown, but in man chown there seems to be extra stuff (sticky, setuid, etc...) is there a good explanation of why one might want to use these, and what they do somewhere???
[01:21] <Randall> Polah, perhaps add "listen=NO" and "listen_ipv6=YES" to the /etc/vsftpd.conf file? I'll give it a shot and see what it does.
[01:22] <Polah> anthonyzambrano, you can install grub configuration files (i.e. the stuff that normally goes in /boot) to another partition as /boot, but grub itself goes in the bootloader section of the MBR
[01:22] <Polah> Randall: listen=YES and listen_ipv6=NO, assuming you're using an IPv4 address?
[01:24] <Polah> overview: That line looks fine to me. I've no idea why it won't mount with write permission anywhere
[01:24] <Jordan_U> anthonyzambrano: Yes, it will work.
[01:25] <pooltable> help update java?
[01:25] <anthonyzambrano> thank you sirs
[01:25] <todd_> stupid chown question: I get rwx in chown, but in man chown there seems to be extra stuff (sticky, setuid, etc...) is there a good explanation of why one might want to use these????
[01:26] <ActionParsnip> !chown | todd_
[01:26] <overview> Polah: thanks your help. Tomorrow i try with live cd to repair this problem. []s
[01:26] <Randall> Tried the ipv4 only, no luck. You know what I just realized, at one point i was in the middle of restarting the server (probably in the beginning of the shutdown phase) when filezilla randomly got a ftp connection. Course the server was shutting down so I didn't get very far. Once the server was back up it started giving the same "ETIMEDOUT" error...
[01:27] <qin> todd_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sticky_bit
[01:27] <todd_> !chown does not explain anything other then read write and execute... man I hate bots
[01:28] <leinadninor> goer, do you know anything about compiz/metacity quirks by chance?
[01:28] <leinadninor> or does anybody here, for that matter?
[01:30] <Randall> Maybe if I remove then reinstall vsftp
[01:30] <leinadninor> is there a #compiz/metacity compositing problems in general channel that anyone knows of?
[01:31] <leinadninor> or a better way to make /list a little more managable and filtered w/irssi?
[01:31] <todd_> qin: ok, what about sticky bit on files?
[01:32] <ignarps> todd_, https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Sticky_bit
[01:32] <xangua> !alis | leinadninor
[01:33] <leinadninor> thank you much ubottu -cheers to ya
[01:33] <Randall> Would removing and reinstalling vsftpd wipe out any faulty configuration? Or would I have to do something else to purge anything related with vsftpd before reinstalling?
[01:33] <minhthong> how to install 32 bit deb on linux 64 bit? and how to run it?
[01:34] <Randall> Or I wonder if there is a better way to test if vsftpd is the issue at all...
[01:37] <Randall> Vsftpd uninstall/reinstall didn't seem to work either
[01:38] <Randall> Apache, PHP, SSH, everything else seems to be working fine...
[01:39] <Randall> Earlier today I (unsuccessfuly) tried to install phpbb3, but I can't imagine that would have affected it.
[01:44] <Randall> running "netstat -a | grep ftp" shows that its running a-ok but still no response from the server...
[01:44] <unclemantis> i just installed a new server instince of ubuntu. I have normaly used root in the past for everything but this time i need to do this right. So do I do to create a new user that has the permissions of root?
[01:45] <Randall> unclemantis, all the user really needs is the ability to sudo
[01:45] <Randall> I think they just have to be in a "sudoers" file
[01:45] <Randall> other than that they really shouldnt have the same access as root
[01:45] <Randall> so on my server i have "admin" that is a sudoer
[01:46] <bambanx> how can i know my username on ubuntu guys?
[01:46] <Randall> but I never really need to log into root
[01:46] <utusan> bambanx, whoami
[01:46] <bambanx> thanks utusan
[01:47] <Squarism> isnt there a command to "show me all hosts on this network" ?
[01:47] <TBotNik> All: Can not get DNS to work on inet connect (wlan0) and have errors in PB at: http://pastebin.com/N02P9Qgn.  Notice it says check syslog for errors after fail, but syslog is blank.
[01:47] <leinadninor> anyone here with any compositing l33t prob-solving ability?
[01:48] <leinadninor> anyone?
[01:48] <utusan> bambanx, np.  that's a standard 'nix command
[01:49] <Loshki> Randall: got a different ftp client you can try? Preferably on a different host?
[01:49] <bambanx> how can i create a domain in my ubuntu?
[01:49] <bambanx> or what is it?
[01:49] <cnz> what's the name of kde's dvd burner
[01:49] <zykotick9> unclemantis, add whatever user(s) you want to have sudo to the "admin" group
[01:49] <cnz> kd3 something like that right
[01:50] <Loshki> cnz: k3b
[01:50] <cnz> aahh ty Loshki
[01:50] <bambanx> i am installing ngnix in ubuntu and the tutorial say me put my domain , how can i know?
[01:50] <Randall> Loshki, I usually ftp in with a notepad++ addon that doesnt seem to be working either. But what do you mean by different host?
[01:51] <Bob_Dickerson> Hello?
[01:51] <Randall> Loshki, perhaps just try to log in to any other ftp servier?
[01:51] <zykotick9> unclemantis, FYI it's also possible (but not supported in this channel) to activate the root account
[01:51] <Bob_Dickerson> Good, I can be seen.
[01:51] <Randall> And heard. xD
[01:52] <Bob_Dickerson> Now, I have a pressing problem. I installed a modifed Ubuntu distro about a few weeks ago, and I cannot access my Windows partition. My windows partition has not been erased, it just I see a blank screen with a blinking cursor on it. What do I do to fix this without having to resort to backup, because I have no Windows 7 disk.
[01:53] <Bob_Dickerson> I am using Grub 1.99
[01:53] <Bob_Dickerson> I am using Linux Mint.
[01:53] <leinadninor> anyone here with any compositing l33t prob-solving ability?
[01:53] <leinadninor> anyone --besides a bot?
[01:53] <leinadninor> or can someone recommmend a channel (cos $compiz is d-e-a-d) where I might be able to find some assistance?
[01:54] <aeon-ltd> leinadninor: dude just ask your question
[01:54] <Bob_Dickerson>
[01:54] <Bob_Dickerson> So, how do I get windows back up?
[01:54] <Loshki> Randall: yes, try another server, and/or another client...
[01:54] <leinadninor> ok I've done tho whoe git-emerald manual recompile to avoid the segfault, but when I load it my buttons disappear, and theme doen't really load either
[01:54] <zykotick9> Bob_Dickerson, mint isn't supported here see "/msg ubottu mintsupport"
[01:54] <Bob_Dickerson> Do I just destroy the Linux partition or do something else?
[01:55] <Bob_Dickerson> I know, but its the same thing as Mint 11.
[01:55] <leinadninor> what gets me it that it was running just fine a cpl days ago, before I had to wipe/rein w/out a good backup
[01:55] <ActionParsnip> Bob_Dickerson: mint isn't supported here
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> !mint | Bob_Dickerson
[01:56] <leinadninor> my cmpiz effects are working, but the emerald theme itself isn't loading properly
[01:56] <Bob_Dickerson> Oh, alright.
[01:56] <zykotick9> !emerald | leinadninor
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> leinadninor: press ALT+F2 and run:  emerald --replace
[01:56] <ActionParsnip> leinadninor: I suggest you DON'T use emerald
[01:56] <roothorick> Could I use a stock Live USB to make a custom Live USB?
[01:57] <ActionParsnip> !remaster | roothorick
[01:57] <commodore> Hey, I need to install grub on another disk because the current boot disk is being decommissioned, the OS runs off of another SCSI drive so all I need to do is move grub to another drive. Ubuntu 10.10
[01:58] <ActionParsnip> commodore: look into grub-install . There are guides around
[01:58] <Loshki> leinadninor: back to #compiz for you, I think. I see 58 logins there...
[01:58] <Randall> Loshki, filezilla is able to connect to a test ftp host, and I found a website that would test a given ftp host and had it test my ubuntu 10.10 server and the test website wasn't able to connect due to timeout just like on my client.
[01:59] <roothorick> ActionParsnip: Okay... can I just add packages to a running instance of a LiveCD/LiveUSB on the fly?
[01:59] <Randall> See, I really wouldn't mind nuking the whole server but I have 4 websites on there and I don't have a way to back them up without getting ftp access first.
[01:59] <leinadninor> ActionParsnip, I've done that...it's what the compiz "extras" kick in, but cost me my (custom)borders and (all my)buttons
[01:59] <ActionParsnip> roothorick: you can but they will not stick, you need to modify the squashfs. If you install a persistent install then updates and such will be retained
[01:59] <roothorick> ActionParsnip: I guess I wasn't completely clear. I mean to ask if I could make a custom ISO while booted into a LiveUSB
[02:00] <kolix> hey Guys, I'm currently runnugn ubuntu server and looking to change the VGA resolution in the /boot/grub file
[02:00] <TBotNik> Repeating: All: Can not get DNS to work on inet connect (wlan0) and have errors in PB at: http://pastebin.com/N02P9Qgn.  Notice it says check syslog for errors after fail, but syslog is blank.
[02:00] <kolix> problem is, i can't find /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:00] <commodore> ActionParsnip: thanks, I'll do that.
[02:00] <Loshki> Randall: I don't think I know enough to debug your ftp issue. Can you use sftp instead for backup?
[02:00] <ActionParsnip> roothorick: sure, if you have enough space in your ram drive / usb storage etc to work in
[02:00] <leinadninor> before it got this far, i had to Alt-F2 and run metacity --replace just to get my buttons, be able to move windows, etc etc, and if I ran it attached to a terminal, when it quit, I also lost all keyboard functionality
[02:01] <Randall> Loshki, I should just be able to ignore vsftp an install sftp and they won't conflict right?
[02:01] <leinadninor> before it got this far, i had to Alt-F2 and run metacity --replace just to get my buttons, be able to move windows, etc etc, and if I ran it attached to a terminal, when it quit, I also lost all keyboard functionalitybut Loshki, all 58 of 'em *aren't there*
[02:01] <zykotick9> kolix, see /etc/default/grub and you're looking for GRUB_GFXMODE=####x###
[02:01] <TBotNik> kolix: I found out that by default the /boot/grub/menu.lst is non-existant and you have to create it.
[02:01] <leinadninor> but Loshki, all 58 of 'em *aren't there*
[02:01] <zykotick9> kolix, after any changes you need to run "sudo update-grub2"
[02:01] <leinadninor> i igot a bot, that was it
[02:02] <Loshki> Randall: they won't conflict. If you already have ssh installed, sftp comes with it I think....
[02:02] <leinadninor> I still have it open actually...
[02:02] <roothorick> another idea I had, it may not be 100% ontopic here, but... is it possible to make a "multiboot" USB stick? e.g. have two versions of Ubuntu (x86 / x64) plus Win7 installers and maybe some UBCD
[02:02]  * zykotick9 thinks FTP really must die
[02:02] <kolix> zykotick9, thank you
[02:03] <zykotick9> kolix, glad to help
[02:04] <Loshki> leinadninor: small groups don't/won't/can't provide instant turnaround. Leave it open for 24 hours to give people in other time zones time to login and respond...
[02:04] <kolix> zykotick9, so GRUB_GFXMODE is the same as VGA?
[02:04] <kolix> it uses the same mode?
[02:04] <zykotick9> kolix, no, youse GRUB_GFXMODE=1600x1200 for example
[02:04] <kolix> ok
[02:04] <zykotick9> s/youse/use/
[02:05] <leinadninor> Loshki, fair enough. I'm used to very active channels. That was a bad assumption on my part....
[02:05] <kolix> so after i edit and save that file, i sudo update-grub2
[02:05] <zykotick9> kolix, only think i'm worried about there is some KEEP option i'm not giving you
[02:05] <leinadninor> I just thought there woulda been a livelier chan, like here, but with ppl that deal with compositing sw issues...
[02:06] <kolix> =\
[02:06] <zykotick9> kolix, try it without first, but if it doesn't work check out the gfxpayload=keep option
[02:07] <zykotick9> leinadninor, you really can't expect much support for a dead piece of software (emerald), good luck.
[02:09] <minhthong> how to install software 32 bit on 64 bit?
[02:09] <Loshki> leinadninor: well, 58/1447 means about 4% of ubuntu irc users are passionate enough about compiz to hang out on its irc channel. The really obscure things don't even have a channel....
[02:10] <TBotNik> Repeating: All: Can not get DNS to work on inet connect (wlan0) and have errors in PB at: http://pastebin.com/N02P9Qgn.  Notice it says check syslog for errors after fail, but syslog is blank.
[02:11] <unclemantis> what is the most popular shell that is used?
[02:11] <zykotick9> unclemantis, for GNU/Linux that would be bash for sure
[02:11] <unclemantis> i just created a new user and when I log in I see $
[02:11] <zykotick9> unclemantis, type "bash" does it change?
[02:12] <unclemantis> yup
[02:12] <unclemantis> so how do i get this to stick?
[02:12] <zykotick9> unclemantis, customize the user account, off the top of my head - don't remember how.  Did you use "sudo adduser foo" to create the user?
[02:13] <kolix> zykotick9, do i need to reboot the system then?
[02:13] <zykotick9> kolix, yes
[02:13] <unclemantis> ya
[02:13] <unclemantis> they have sudo rights and everything now
[02:14] <zykotick9> unclemantis, "chsh" is the command you need
[02:14] <zykotick9> unclemantis, run as the user
[02:14] <kolix> zykotick9, lol
[02:14] <kolix> i think it went smaller
[02:15] <zykotick9> kolix, what where you expecting?
[02:15] <unclemantis> and then type /bin/bash?
[02:15] <kolix> ok
[02:15] <kolix> i wanted a higher reolution
[02:15] <kolix> 640x480
[02:15] <dttys> Hi, i'm using aptitude and i'd like to know if it's safe to upgrade manually packages that are being held at a certain version
[02:15] <nandemonai> chsh will change a user shell. You can change it manually from /etc/passwd too but chsh is preferred for obvious reasons ;)
[02:15] <zykotick9> kolix, so try that value in grub then?  higher resolution = smaller print
[02:15] <kolix> zykotick9, do i put a lowercase x or uppercase x
[02:16] <dude> x01b to the legion
[02:16] <zykotick9> kolix, just guess but lowercase??
[02:16] <kolix> 640x480
[02:16] <unclemantis> horray that worked
[02:16] <unclemantis> thank you
[02:16] <kolix> or 640X480
[02:16] <knightrage> hey all. so i switched from karma to natty, and i really do not like how the scrollbars look in gnome. (where you have to hover over it in order to get the scrollbar put underneath your cursor). i thought i could change that in appearance somewhere, but i can't find it. any ideas?
[02:16] <zykotick9> kolix, try the 640x480 first
[02:17] <xangua> knightrage: i am sure i saw how to change them either on omg!ubuntu! blog or webupd8 blog
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> knightrage: http://www.tuxgarage.com/2011/04/disable-overlay-scrollbars-in-ubuntu.html
[02:18] <battlehands> I need to install matlab from the CD using terminal as sudo
[02:18] <ActionParsnip> !matlab
[02:18] <polygon-pusher> where is the settings to keep all my session windows for the next time I login?
[02:19] <dttys>  using aptitude and i'd like to know if it's safe to upgrade manually packages that are being held at a certain version, thanks!
[02:19] <xangua> polygon-pusher: on Startup preferences i believe
[02:19] <kolix> ugh
[02:19] <kolix> i can't sudo anymore
[02:19] <knightrage> ActionParsnip: got it. thanks
[02:19] <zykotick9> kolix, did you change your hostname?
[02:20] <kolix> no
[02:20] <kolix> i had an ssh server running
[02:20] <zykotick9> kolix, type "groups" are you in the admin group?
[02:20] <kolix> does it start automatically on startup
[02:20] <kolix> www-data
[02:20] <zykotick9> kolix, you've got a problem!
[02:20] <kolix> how do i change it?
[02:20] <zykotick9> kolix, you incorrectly added one group, and removed all the others
[02:21] <kolix> is tht bad?
[02:21] <battlehands> ActionParsnip, when I enter the commands "sudo /media/MATHWORKS_R2011A/install" it says command not found
[02:21] <zykotick9> kolix, it can be fixed!
[02:21] <zykotick9> kolix, i hope ;)
[02:21] <kolix> haha
[02:21] <kolix> any advice?
[02:21] <zykotick9> kolix, what ubuntu are you using?
[02:21] <kolix> server edition
[02:22] <zykotick9> kolix, sorry version #
[02:22] <kolix> 11.04
[02:22] <polygon-pusher> not seeing a start up pref in control center
[02:22] <zykotick9> kolix, actually doesn't matter, i doubt anyone here is running server.  I can't really help, you need to find out what groups a regular user is a member of, then try adding yourself to those groups - and PRAY that you don't need sudo
[02:22] <polygon-pusher> theres a start up programs but thats all

[02:23] <zykotick9> polygon-pusher, that's what you need
[02:23] <kolix> how do i do that?
[02:23] <kolix> please twell me i dont have to uninstall
[02:23] <polygon-pusher> looking to keep my session for when I log back in to keep all open windows
[02:23] <zykotick9> polygon-pusher, option tab
[02:23] <kolix> err reinstall
[02:24] <zykotick9> polygon-pusher, for furture reference to add a user to a group use "sudo usermod -aG GROUPFOO USERFOO" the -a means append
[02:24] <zykotick9> kolix, see above.  polygon-pusher sorry
[02:24] <polygon-pusher> ?
[02:24] <polygon-pusher> oh lol
[02:25] <polygon-pusher> :P
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: match case exactly, use tab to complete folder and file names
[02:26] <battlehands> ActionParsnip, I am installing 2010 version.  I needed to click on 2010 instructions and follow them.  Its working now.
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> kolix: you can boot to root recovery mode and add yourself to the admin group. Its rare to need a reinstall
[02:26] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: nice :)
[02:27] <battlehands> ActionParsnip, thank you.
[02:27] <ActionParsnip> battlehands: anytime dude
[02:31] <commodore> ActionParsnip: The grub-install program won't install to MBR
[02:34] <commodore> I am trying to move grub from one hd to another and grub-install, what I was told I should use isn't installing to the MBR, I don't know how to fix this, could someone please help me out?
[02:46] <kolix> doi need the x windowing system for dvtm?
[02:48] <Fudge> whats default wm in gnome ubuntu natty
[02:48] <zykotick9> kolix, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of a "dynamic virtual terminal manager"?
[02:48] <zykotick9> Fudge, Unity+Compiz i believe
[02:49] <myname_> compile kernel and wireless NOT working for ATHEROS AR9285
[02:50] <myname_> iwconfig outputs "no extenstion for wireless"...thanks for any help
[02:50] <battlehands> I just installed matlab, but when I try to open it nothing happens.  Ideas?
[02:51] <kolix> >.<
[02:51] <kolix> !
[02:51] <Fudge> zykotick9  oh sorry i mean for gnome classic
[02:51] <kolix> i guess so
[02:51] <zykotick9> Fudge, metacity
[02:51] <kolix> so just install dvtm heh
[02:51] <Fudge> thank you zykotick9
[02:51] <sedulous> battlehands: start it from a shell and see if there's any output (general advice, not familiar with matlab at all)
[02:52] <myname_> compiled linux and wireless not working. any idea?
[02:52] <myname_> wireless card is atheros...
[02:53] <myname_> I just compiled the latst kernel. Wireless is NOT working. Atheros AR9285. iwconfig outputs "no extension for wireless". any ideas?
[02:53] <RussW> on setup, I had a panel with controls (like speaker volume) which has subsequently disappeared.  How can I get that back?
[02:54] <myname_> I just compiled the latst kernel. Wireless is NOT working. Atheros AR9285. iwconfig outputs "no extension for wireless". any ideas?
[02:54] <zykotick9> myname_, stop repeating, we see your question
[02:54] <ActionParsnip> myname_: we can't support self compiled kernels here
[02:54] <battlehands> sedulous, i have the install file in green in the directory that I installed matlab to.  why is there no other green file?
[02:55] <myname_> should i ask somewhere else? where? thanks.
[02:55] <zykotick9> battlehands, green just mean 777 or everyone/all permission
[02:56] <battlehands> zykotick9, well, should the matlab file be one of those permissions?
[02:56] <zykotick9> battlehands, ya, probably
[02:56] <ActionParsnip> myname_: possibly #linux
[02:56] <myname_> actionparsnip..thnaks
[02:57] <kolix> hey zykotick9
[02:57] <kolix> what does a virtual machine host do?
[02:57] <zykotick9> kolix, hey
[02:57] <zykotick9> kolix, VM is a OS inside another OS
[02:57] <battlehands> I installed matlab but I cannot open the program
[02:58] <RussW> I am running Natty if it matters...
[02:58] <kolix> ok
[02:58] <kolix> so i dont really need it
[02:58] <speedrunnerG55> can someone help me?
[02:58] <battlehands> I installed matlab but I cannot open the program
[02:58] <zykotick9> battlehands, open a terminal, cd into the directory, then run ./MATHLABFOO (or whatever it's called) and see if there is any output/error
[02:59] <myname_> join #linux
[02:59] <speedrunnerG55> can someone help me install chrome os on virtual box?
[02:59] <zykotick9> myname_, "/join ##linux"
[02:59] <myname_> I just compiled the latst kernel. Wireless is NOT working. Atheros AR9285. iwconfig outputs "no extension for wireless". any ideas?
[02:59] <zykotick9> myname_, still in #ubuntu
[02:59] <speedrunnerG55> please
[02:59] <myname_> oops...
[02:59] <myname_> sorry about that
[02:59] <battlehands> zykotick9, is says no such file or directory
[03:00] <zykotick9> battlehands, are you running 64bit ubuntu - "uname -m" if you aren't sure
[03:01] <battlehands> zykotick9, i686
[03:01] <zykotick9> battlehands, that's 32 bit - do you get any other output at all before "no such..."
[03:01] <battlehands> zykotick9, thats it
[03:02] <zykotick9> battlehands, i have no idea then, good luck.
[03:02] <battlehands> zykotick9, oh... 'bash: ./matlabR2010a: ..."
[03:02] <zykotick9> battlehands, ? sorry that doesn't help (me) at all, I still got no suggestions.
[03:03] <chandan> hello ubuntu IRC :)
[03:03] <speedrunnerG55> hello?
[03:03] <zykotick9> speedrunnerG55, try #vbox
[03:04] <chandan> I have some weird problem. I can't login to phpmyadmin from my ff in ubuntu. even login info is correct
[03:05] <chandan> it reflects back to phpmyadmin/index.php :( help
[03:06] <battlehands> zykotick9, Ok.  I found the executable.  Now I have to run it in terminal to open the program.  I want to be able to 'windows key
[03:06] <battlehands> and select matlab from there
[03:06] <kikupotter> Device is mounted and no online capability in fsck tool for file system
[03:06] <kikupotter> 这是扫什么问题Device is mounted and no online capability in fsck tool for file system
[03:06] <battlehands> !matlab
[03:07] <goer> Buhao....do not repeat
[03:07] <RenatoSilva> what's the default home permission? mine is go=rx, I think this is weird
[03:08] <xulli> hello
[03:08] <RenatoSilva> does ubuntu store the wrong passwords in failed logins?
[03:08] <Polah> RenatoSilva; 755 I believe
[03:08] <zykotick9> battlehands, you're asking the wrong person, I've don't use Unity
[03:09] <battlehands> zykotick9, ok
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: http://paste.ubuntu.com/678505/
[03:09] <RenatoSilva> Polah: like mine
[03:09] <DBO> battlehands, what is your unity question?
[03:09] <Polah> RenatoSilva, hmm, that is 755. group/others=read,execute
[03:09] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: 755 as zykotick9 says
[03:09] <RenatoSilva> Polah: he didn't
[03:09] <zykotick9> :)
[03:10] <RenatoSilva> ?
[03:10] <battlehands> DBO, I just finished installing matlab.  To run matlab I have to do it as the super user through terminal.  I want to be able to run it using the windows key and selecting its icon from the app list.
[03:10] <Polah> RenatoSilva, didn't what?
[03:10] <jrib> battlehands: why would you run matlab as superuser and not a regular user?
[03:10] <zykotick9> Polah, 7 means user has read/write/execute, 5 mean group has read/write, and 5 mean other has read/write
[03:10] <RenatoSilva> ActionParsnip: home, not home's content
[03:10] <battlehands> jrib, because when I run it as a regular user It wont open.
[03:11] <jrib> battlehands: so fix that
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: oh, the actual folder /home ?
[03:11] <battlehands> jrib, ok, thanks for the help.
[03:11] <RenatoSilva> Polah: what what? last thing you said
[03:11] <Polah> zykotick9, read/write would be 6, read = 4, write = 2, execute = 1
[03:11] <th0r> jrib: oops?
[03:11] <RenatoSilva> ActionParsnip: NO
[03:11] <DBO> battlehands, what does it do when you run it from a terminal as a regular user?
[03:11] <RenatoSilva> ActionParsnip: /home/YOU
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: specify the folder and I can find out
[03:11] <jrib> battlehands: I'm serious.  You do not want to get in the habit of running programs as superuser when it's not necessary to do so
[03:11] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: ok, gimme a sec
[03:11] <myname_> just an offtopic question...i tried to join ##linux and i keep getting errors "linux cannot send to channel". ideas?
[03:11] <jrib> !matlab > battlehands
[03:11] <jrib> battlehands: maybe that helps you
[03:11] <RenatoSilva> ActionParsnip: you'll find the default as asked?
[03:12] <Polah> RenatoSilva, like I said, 755 is default
[03:12] <zykotick9> Polah, you got it
[03:12] <RenatoSilva> does ubuntu store the wrong passwords in failed logins?
[03:12] <Lenny_nobody> hello everyone
[03:12] <RenatoSilva> Polah: like I said, like mine
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: http://paste.ubuntu.com/678507/
[03:12] <myname_> just an offtopic question...i tried to join ##linux and i keep getting errors "linux cannot send to channel". ideas?
[03:12] <zykotick9> !register > myname_
[03:12] <propman> myname_ you need to register a user name
[03:12] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: indeed
[03:13] <RenatoSilva> ActionParsnip: I wanna know default permissions, not yours
[03:13] <Polah> RenatoSilva, I've told you the default twice now...
[03:13] <myname_> ubottu? how do i read private messages...my first time..using irssi
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: those are default, i haven't touched them
[03:13] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: in my case they are one and the same thing
[03:13] <zykotick9> !register | myname_
[03:14] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: that's why I am giving you it
[03:14] <dskdaskads> in Power Managemente Preferences, what does it mean "Put computer to sleep when inactive for X minutes"
[03:14] <dskdaskads> what does it do
[03:14] <myname_> !register >myname_
[03:14] <myname_> oops...
[03:14] <RenatoSilva> Polah: one who understood go=rx unlikely would answer the way you did, so I assume you behave like a dumb
[03:15] <RenatoSilva> ActionParsnip: I haven't touched mine too, dumb
[03:15] <Lenny_nobody> hello
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: weird
[03:15] <RenatoSilva> ActionParsnip: why would I ask at all?
[03:15] <Lenny_nobody> can you hear me?
[03:15] <dskdaskads> no Lenny_nobody
[03:15] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: you may have been chowning and chmodding you folderz and wanted the default access.
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: lots of reasons exists why you would ask
[03:16] <RenatoSilva> ActionParsnip: sorry?
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: not at all
[03:16] <kolix> hey guys
[03:16] <Lenny_nobody> is there a need to enter irc commands in chatzilla?
[03:16] <Polah> RenatoSilva, that's quite insulting. You asked what the default was and said you had go=rx. I said 755 is default and like I said go=rx is group and others having read and exccute, which is 755.
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: confused really
[03:16] <dskdaskads> ActionParsnip: what this option for "Put computer to sleep when inactive for X minutes"?
[03:16]  * RenatoSilva ignores some people
[03:16] <dskdaskads> what is putting computer to sleep
[03:16] <ActionParsnip> dskdaskads: its in power options or screensaver options
[03:16] <dskdaskads> power option
[03:16] <Lenny_nobody> I wanna tether my Iphone on Ubuntu
[03:16] <RenatoSilva> thanks all
[03:17] <ActionParsnip> dskdaskads: screen blanks and you will be asked for credentials when you move the mouse etc
[03:17] <tonussi> oii
[03:17] <Lenny_nobody> can anybody help me?
[03:17] <kolix> how can i make the terminal font larger in ubuntu server 11.04
[03:17] <Polah> ActionParsnip, dskdaskads, I thought putting to sleep would've been suspend or hibernate?
[03:17] <dskdaskads> thanks ActionParsnip
[03:18] <Lenny_nobody> can anybody help me tether my Iphone on ubuntu?
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> Lenny_nobody: for what service?
[03:19] <Lenny_nobody> AT&T
[03:19] <ActionParsnip> Lenny_nobody: so 3G then
[03:19] <Lenny_nobody> yes
[03:20] <Lenny_nobody> my wif has been disbaled on my Ubuntu system!
[03:20] <Polah> kolix: A terminal as in GNOME terminal or command line like on tty1-6?
[03:20] <Lenny_nobody> I do ifconfig and nothing shows up!
[03:21] <Lenny_nobody> even ifconfig -a
[03:21] <zykotick9> Polah, vt (tty1-6), kolix i take it grub resolution didn't help?
[03:21] <ActionParsnip> Lenny_nobody: what is the output of: lsb_release -c
[03:22] <Lenny_nobody> oh shit! I'm not at my Linux system presently
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> ok
[03:22] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip, FYI "lsb_release -sc" gets rid of the CodeName: part
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: oooh, nice
[03:22] <Lenny_nobody> I'm on windows
[03:22] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: ahhh, (s)imple :D
[03:23] <kolix> ok
[03:23] <kolix> how do i set a password for root?
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> kolix: you don't
[03:24] <zykotick9> kolix, not supported in this channel
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> kolix: nor is it required
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> kolix: you can get a root prompt with:  sudo -i
[03:24] <zykotick9> kolix, i agree with ActionParsnip's comment above
[03:24] <kolix> ActionParsnip, i was never given the option to provide a root password during installtion
[03:24] <ActionParsnip> kolix: yes, the account is disabled
[03:24] <zykotick9> !root | kolix
[03:25] <Polah> Is sudo apt-get install lxde the proper way to install LXDE or do I need to use another package name like for GNOME?
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> kolix: you use your user account and prefix commands with sudo when you need extra access
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> Polah: yeah it's fine
[03:25] <Polah> ActionParsnip, alright thanks
[03:25] <ActionParsnip> lxde rocks hard
[03:25] <zykotick9> or lxde "hardly rocks" :p
[03:26] <Polah> Well, we'll see. It's supposed to be lightweight so I guess I'll find out.
[03:26] <zykotick9> Polah, it is that (lightweight)
[03:27] <jetscreamer> lxde is nice
[03:27] <jetscreamer> and lightweight
[03:27] <kolix> how do i change resolution in ubuntu server 11.04
[03:27] <kolix> ?
[03:27] <dgroos> Once configured, how do you start a VPN connection on a desktop installation?
[03:27] <Polah> Could I have multiple panels like with gnome?
[03:28] <ActionParsnip> kolix: http://idyllictux.wordpress.com/2010/04/26/lucidubuntu-10-04-high-resolution-plymouth-virtual-terminal-for-atinvidia-cards-with-proprietaryrestricted-driver/
[03:28] <vfw> I have lxde and Alt-F2 does not bring up the run command.
[03:28] <vfw> It's supposed to.  Right?
[03:29] <zykotick9> vfw, alt+f2 is a Gnome shortcut, might not exist in lxde
[03:29] <vfw> kolix: xrandr
[03:29] <Lenny_nobody> so to send a private message I use the msg/ command?
[03:29] <zykotick9> vfw, xrandr does nothing for VTs
[03:29] <vfw> zykotick9: It's in the config
[03:29] <dgroos> I've been trying to get VPN to work for close to 3 hours.  I'm using Natty.
[03:29] <dskdaskads> dgroos: hi, whats the problem exactly
[03:30] <dskdaskads> is it pptp or openvpn
[03:30] <zykotick9> vfw, "might" not exist in lxde - i'm not an lxde person...
[03:30] <Polah> Keyboard Shortcuts from System > preferences is gnome-keybinding, so you'd have to have GNOME installed for those to be set
[03:30] <Nach0z> vfw: you might just have to go to apps -> accessories -> LXTerminal
[03:31] <Nach0z> I dont know that LXDE does shortcut keys at all actually
[03:31] <Nach0z> seeing as it's what i use, i should probably look into that...
[03:31] <dgroos> dskdaskads: Thanks for asking!  It's pptp.  I've configured it as per instructions on the 'net but then I don't see how to start it besides going to the panel icon, and putting a check next to the connection name I made.
[03:31] <ActionParsnip> vfw: look in ~/.config/lxde  possibly. I'm at work SSHd to my fileserver now, so cannot access LXDE configs
[03:32] <dskdaskads> dgroos: are you using network manager?
[03:32] <ActionParsnip> vfw: could ask in #lubuntu
[03:32] <vfw> ActionParsnip: Ok tnx.
[03:32] <Nach0z> ActionParsnip: you considered using NeatX?
[03:32] <Polah> Alright, time to go and see how good lxde is
[03:32] <dgroos> dskdaskads: I've tried initiating an ssh session but nothing happens.  Yes, using Network Manager.
[03:33] <ActionParsnip> vfw: possibly ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml
[03:33] <dskdaskads> dgroos: I've never had any problems with pptp in network manager, its much easier than openvpn. check the logs System > Admin > Log File Viewer
[03:33] <dskdaskads> open it and try to use pptp
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> vfw: actually it's lxde-rc.xml
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> vfw: may help http://pclosmag.com/html/Issues/201011/page09.html
[03:34] <ActionParsnip> vfw: ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml
[03:34] <dgroos> dskdaskads: I went to look at the logs but couldn't find the correct one.  Which one should I check?
[03:34] <rocky> Hello i just install xampp and im wondering how to start xampp automaticly when i reboot my computer. i checked there site but i think ubuntu works abit diffrently
[03:35] <dskdaskads> dgroos: it should set new log entries with bold
[03:35] <dskdaskads> dgroos: or type "dmesg" in terminal
[03:35] <dgroos> dskdaskads: Right!  I'll check, thanks!
[03:35] <Polah> What does panel alignment in LXDE do?
[03:35] <zykotick9> !xampp | rocky
[03:36] <dgroos> dskdaskads: but first, just for the record, how DO you initiate a vpn session???
[03:37] <dskdaskads> dgroos: in network manager i connect to ethernet/wifi setup pptp vpn then sometimes I reload nm-applet and then go VPN connections menu and hit the on I created
[03:37] <chandan> localhost/phpmyadmin/index.php redirects to same login page.. cannot go further .. help
[03:37] <dskdaskads> one*
[03:37] <RussW> What is the quickest way to open a shell window in Natty?
[03:37] <rocky> zyotick9 its not a matter of supporting the program, i just need to lear how to add a start up service that needs to be ran under SUSO
[03:37] <rocky> sudo*
[03:37] <vfw> ActionParsnip: Thanks
[03:38] <vfw> RussW: I set F12 as hot-key
[03:38] <zykotick9> rocky, just think - if you'd have installed ubuntu's lamp, it automatically adds it to startup...
[03:38] <RussW> how did you do that?
[03:38] <keithzg_> arghhh, just got a new Acer (Timeline X 1830T-6661), and every report I can find through google says its fine, but the wireless card just isn't being detected.
[03:38] <rocky> good point zykotick9
[03:39] <ActionParsnip> keithzg_: hoook up to a wired connection and get fully updated
[03:39] <zykotick9> rocky, check out rc.local perhaps
[03:40] <RussW> vfw?  How do you set a hot key?
[03:41] <RenatoSilva> how to manage swap guilly?
[03:42] <zykotick9> RussW, Preferences / Keyboard Shortcuts - look for "Open a terminal window" in the list
[03:42] <RussW> thanks
[03:42] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: can you expand the question please
[03:44] <dskdaskads> what is the 'app indicator' ?
[03:44] <keithzg_> ActionParsnip: Well, in approximately 17 minutes we will see if that works, heh.
[03:45] <ActionParsnip> keithzg_: updates do a lot, after updating try the driver application after a reboot
[03:45] <dskdaskads> oh it's applet :)
[03:46] <RenatoSilva> is there any ui way to manage swap?
[03:46]  * RenatoSilva ignores some
[03:46] <RenatoSilva> people
[03:46] <dskdaskads> RenatoSilva: no one is ignoring, usually users help when they know
[03:46] <dttus> @ActionParsnip: think i may be having a similar prob :P
[03:46] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: you can set a lower or higher swappiness value
[03:46] <bambanx> how can i know what version of postgres i have inmy ubuntu?
[03:47] <ActionParsnip> bambanx: dpkg -l | grep postgres
[03:47] <RenatoSilva> HUH?
[03:47] <keithzg_> ActionParsnip: Yeah, it's just that the ar9287 should've worked anyways, from what I could figure out, so it puzzles me.
[03:48] <ActionParsnip> keithzg_: updates may make it ok
[03:48]  * RenatoSilva ignores more people
[03:48] <dttus> trying to get working a SMCWUSBS-N2 EZ Connect N Wireless Adapter (Ralink RT2870), but not even the usb stick is bein detected
[03:48] <bambanx> thanks ActionParsnip
[03:48] <dgroos> dskdaskads: not getting anything with dmesg in terminal...  I think I need to restart my 'puter.  I'll be back :)
[03:49] <dskdaskads> lol
[03:49] <Lenny_nobody> whew am I drunk
[03:49] <ActionParsnip> RenatoSilva: the swapiness value tells the kernel how often to use swap, high swapiness will make the swap space be used more, lower will try and keep apps in ram and use swap less
[03:51] <bambanx>  how can set my postgres in ubuntu for start it using /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start
[03:52] <GTRsdk> Is it possible to get codecs from Windows into UBuntu?
[03:52] <theadmin> GTRsdk: no
[03:52] <ActionParsnip> GTRsdk: there is w32codecs or w64codecs on the medibuntu repo
[03:52] <GTRsdk> act
[03:52] <GTRsdk> ActionParsnip: will that work with .acm files?
[03:53] <bonks> What's the best way to setup a gui on natty server?
[03:53] <ActionParsnip> GTRsdk: if you install ubuntu-restricted-extras gnome-mplayer vlc and w32codecs   there's not much you won't be able to play, the file extension doesn't tell us much
[03:54] <kolix> lol this is gonna sound stupid
[03:54] <kolix> but how do i get into phpmyadmin
[03:54] <GTRsdk> ActionParsnip: oh. I thought it was a codec installer which could use .acm files.
[03:54] <kolix> when i installed it using apt-get i was never presented with an option to provide a username and password
[03:54] <kolix> i have a mysql root password
[03:54] <ActionParsnip> GTRsdk: again, saying the extension of the file means nothing
[03:55] <dskdaskads> after Kernel upgrade my Wireless patch stopped working. Is this normal?
[03:55] <GTRsdk> ActionParsnip: the codec I want to use is the atrac3 codec
[03:57] <Polah> kolix: username and password are the mysql username and password.
[03:57] <Polah> kolix: for phpmyadmin, that is
[03:58] <zykotick9> GTRsdk, doesn't help much "RealAudio codecs are a mess" from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MediaCenter/CodecSupport
[03:58] <bonks> how do I install vino or any other remote desktop on natty server?
[03:58] <theadmin> bonks: You can't really have a RDC system without a GUI
[03:58] <Polah> Does LXDE have an option for a "Places" menu like on GNOME?
[03:58] <theadmin> bonks: Look into ssh
[03:59] <Polah> Also, lxterminal seems to make a huge black box about the size of the terminal window at the top left of my screen when I open it
[04:00] <bambanx> guys how i can add a service to /etc/init.d ?
[04:00] <bonks> theadmin: I use ssh but I have a remote natty server that I want to install a desktop on and access from windows
[04:00] <theadmin> bambanx: That is outdated, use /etc/init
[04:00] <theadmin> !upstart | bambanx
[04:00] <theadmin> bonks: Well, what's the big deal then... apt-get install whatever
[04:01] <bonks> theadmin: I wanted to know how to install a vnc server
[04:01] <theadmin> bonks: Ah, hm...
[04:02] <goer> How to copy ppa list from #1 computer to #2 computer (per usb stick)?
[04:03] <chandan> how to uninstall amp in maverick ?
[04:03] <theadmin> bonks: Well, apt-get install vnc4server
[04:03] <alexis_> Hi, I'm having trouble with video on an Intel netbook, can anybody help me?
[04:03] <theadmin> goer: cp /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list /media/your-usb/
[04:04] <visitor1> hi, i just installed a LSI Logic MegaRaid 150-6X, i connected a full hdd but now gparted is only saying unallocetd for the whole drive?
[04:04] <din> *yawn*
[04:05] <dskdaskads> I have a weird problem with sensors: it only shows temp of core0 and core2 but I think it detected all 4 cores when I installed sensors for the first time. is there a solution for this?
[04:06] <Langly> Install a dual core processor
[04:06] <dskdaskads> ...
[04:06] <dskdaskads> it's a quad cpu..
[04:07] <Langly> Yeah, remove the quad and replace it with a dual
[04:07] <Langly> problem solved :)
[04:07] <dskdaskads> Langly: please stop trolling
[04:07] <dskdaskads> lol
[04:07] <dskdaskads> SYstem Monitor detects all 4cores
[04:07] <Polah> dskdaskads, could be that those two monitors are malfunctioning and not reporting.
[04:08] <dskdaskads> or a module not loaded?
[04:08] <Polah> dskdaskads, if it's showing two of them but not the other two then I'd go for the two not showing being broken. There shouldn't be different modules for each monitor
[04:08] <visitor1> does anyone know if i can install a full hdd on a new raid controller? or do i have to format and install it new on the new raid controller?
[04:08] <keithzg_> Updated everything, and tried running Jockey; still no sign of the AR9287 wireless card :(
[04:09] <neil_> is there a way to get gedit to have a custom configuration depending on the directory it was started in?  In most cases I want tabs in my files, but in a couple of directory I would like spaces instead.
[04:09] <dskdaskads> Polah: when you say "broken".. you mean the hardware or configuration?
[04:09] <Langly> dskdaskads, you could always just install windows ME and AOL :)
[04:09] <Polah> dskdaskads, could be configuration selected to not report those two actually, you could take a look at that. I'd go for hardware though
[04:09] <theadmin> Langly, please stop.
[04:10] <Langly> OK, that was intended as a joke though
[04:10] <dskdaskads> Polah: like I said before.. I remember it detected all cores
[04:10] <theadmin> Langly: Understood, but still, too many of them in such a short amount of time... Also, AOL? I didn't know you can "install" an ISP...
[04:10] <Polah> dskdaskads, hardware failure then. You could try from a live session to see if it picks them up, or another operating system
[04:11] <dskdaskads> :(
[04:11] <battlehands> I am trying to open matlab after having installed it.  When I click on my file system I find the executable matlab file in the path /usr/local/matlabR2010a/bin , but when I try to locate the file in terminal I am unable to
[04:11] <Langly> theadmin, AOL has its own entire client/software heh
[04:11] <Polah> theadmin: AOL explorer
[04:11] <dskdaskads> !ot
[04:11] <theadmin> Langly, Polah: Oh... lol
[04:11] <Langly> And its utter shite
[04:11] <keithzg_> ActionParsnip: Yeah, didn't work, alas.
[04:13] <dskdaskads> coretemp-isa-0000 coretemp-isa-0002
[04:13] <dskdaskads> where is 0001 and 0003
[04:13] <Polah> visitor1: If you have all the drives from the array and replace the controller, it may work providing the controller supports the type of RAID in use.
[04:14] <Polah> dskdaskads, on the moon is my guess
[04:14] <ActionParsnip> keithzg_: good times :)
[04:14] <dskdaskads> ...
[04:14] <sublim21> alright.  can someone help me install a program that requires mono?
[04:14] <sublim21> im running on naty
[04:14] <Polah> dskdaskads, do you have another operating system at hand you could check on to see if the monitors are functioning?
[04:14] <sublim21> i installed mono
[04:15] <dskdaskads> Polah: backtrack
[04:15] <keithzg_> pshhh yeah, it's like the old days when wireless cards never worked on Linux . . . arghh. I wish I knew what to do.
[04:15] <theadmin> sublim21: You might also want a few additional packages
[04:15] <dskdaskads> and window$7
[04:15] <sublim21> ugh
[04:15] <Polah> dskdaskads, you could try on backtrack. I'd go for Windows anyway since that's a whole different kernel and suchlike
[04:15] <sublim21> can it be done on a natty installation?
[04:15] <battlehands> I am trying to open matlab after having installed it.  When I click on my file system I find the executable matlab file in the path /usr/local/matlabR2010a/bin , but when I try to locate the file in terminal I am unable to
[04:15] <dskdaskads> Polah: if u know a free app for win7 pm me
[04:16] <keithzg_> aha, perhaps https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/778168 's suggestion of blacklisting acer_wmi
[04:16] <Polah> dskdaskads, speccy or CPU-Z should be able to tell you core temperatures
[04:17] <sublim21> battlehands: im trying to run a similiar program - smath
[04:18] <jules> hello how can i verify myself as admin/root, i want to delete some files, but "access denied"
[04:19] <pRoV7x>  hi is there any anti-virus that i can use on ubuntu
[04:19] <Polah> jules: sudo
[04:19] <dskdaskads> clamav with clamtk
[04:19] <dskdaskads> pRoV7x: clamav + clamtk GUI
[04:20] <pRoV7x>  dskdaskads: thank u
[04:20] <jules> i want to delete with mouseclick , not with the terminal < very difficult..
[04:20] <theadmin> jules: If it's so difficult you shouldn't dig in system files
[04:21] <jules> they are not harmful, just some "icons"
[04:21] <Polah> jules: sudo rm <file1> <file2> <file3> and so on. If it's write-protected then chances are you shouldn't be deleting it
[04:21] <towerhii> pRoV7x  : http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/us/frt/0?prd=afl
[04:21] <Polah> jules: And the day will come when you install something that requires those icons and you're left with a blank symbol or an error symbol instead
[04:21] <jules> sudo rm

[04:22] <jules> can i use <directory> instead for file if i want to delete one directory?
[04:22] <theadmin> jules: Then use sudo rm -r /path/to/folder
[04:22] <bonks> Is there such services as hosted desktops?
[04:23] <jules> folder = name of folder?
[04:24] <theadmin> jules: Ugh, just type this in: gksu nautilus
[04:24] <theadmin> jules: This will start the filemanager in admin mode
[04:24] <theadmin> jules: Be damn careful though
[04:24] <jules> okie i will try
[04:25] <ActionParsnip> bonks: how do you mean?
[04:26] <rocky> zykoti
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> bonks: companies do provide hosting and they can be systems you can view the desktop on if you wish
[04:26] <rocky> Im running
[04:26] <jules> theadmin, that is the best command hehehe cool
[04:26] <ActionParsnip> bonks: the one I work for does, for one :)
[04:27] <jules> for ending gksu, just close terminal or?
[04:27] <rocky> Hello guys im running my ubuntu pc as a "server" and i would like to know how  to set it to have a higher resoltion when i start the computer with out a monitor plugged in
[04:27] <bonks> ActionParsnip: could you PM me that info?
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> bonks: it's uk based
[04:27] <ActionParsnip> bonks: and for busineeses mainly
[04:27] <Polah> bonks: You can just get a server, SSH in and then install a GUI through apt-get.
[04:28] <pRoV7x>  can i use any firewall with ubuntu?
[04:28] <ActionParsnip> !firewall | pRoV7x
[04:28] <Polah> pRoV7x, if it's compatible yes, but ufw is built in
[04:28] <bonks> Polah, i'm getting frustrated that I can't find any guides for natty where comments doesn't say it doesn't work
[04:29] <jules> there ist a firewall packet called gufw
[04:29] <sabrion> Okay, here's the timebomb: I'm installing ubuntu on a dell inspirion 1501... and the networking isn't working. <_< Wireless won't even show up, and wired won't connect. Tried "make"ing the driver for it... no avail. Make isn't working. Help!
[04:30] <bonks> I was able to install vnc4server and connect to it, but all I see in vnc viewer is a gray screen and a terminal.
[04:30] <Polah> bonks: That's because there's no GUI for VNC to display to you otherwise. You'd need to install and configure X and a desktop environment like lxcd or xfce
[04:31] <ActionParsnip> bonks: you need to load the desktop in the settings so that it loads when you get connected and such
[04:32] <bonks> I did install ubuntu-desktop before vnc4server, will this work?
[04:32] <dskdaskads> ok
[04:32] <theadmin> Polah: "lxcd" is no desktop environment, I don't even know what that is
[04:33] <dskdaskads> my panels just disappeared and now?
[04:33] <pRoV7x>  ActionParsnip , Polah: thank you both, i just installed the GUI for ufw.
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> !panels | dskdaskads
[04:33] <dskdaskads> ActionParsnip: temporarily, I dont want to reset them
[04:33] <dskdaskads> lol
[04:33] <dskdaskads> I want to reload pls
[04:33] <mordof> my computer lately has been just randomly shutting off - but it looks more like my video card is turning off.. the computer keeps running
[04:33] <ActionParsnip> dskdaskads: try:  killall gnome-panel   and it will reload
[04:33] <mordof> can anyone tell me where the main system logs are kept?
[04:34] <theadmin> mordof: /var/log/
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> mordof: /var/log
[04:34] <Polah> theadmin: I meant lxde. I was thinking lxde, xkfe and then thought of xkcd and kind of mashed them together by accident
[04:34] <happygolucky> lxdm and lxde are i belive display sessions and managers
[04:34] <kolten> Hello?
[04:34] <dskdaskads> ActionParsnip: it worked :)
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> mordof: I'd test RAM using the option in grub
[04:34] <theadmin> Polah: Thought so :D
[04:34] <ActionParsnip> dskdaskads: magic
[04:34] <dskdaskads> lol
[04:34] <Polah> theadmin: I got it wrong again then as well, xkfe instead of xfce. All these four letter combinations D:
[04:34] <mordof> ActionParsnip: :\ that's a disturbing thought... i will soon, which log should i check for the time being?
[04:35] <dskdaskads> oh just another thing. I have 4gb ram and system monitor shows 3.7gb
[04:35] <theadmin> Polah: Heh
[04:35] <dskdaskads> why?
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> dskdaskads: do you use onboard video?
[04:35] <dskdaskads> ActionParsnip: it's a laptop and im not using proprietary drivers
[04:35] <ActionParsnip> mordof: n ot sure personally
[04:35] <dskdaskads> i dont know
[04:36] <ELuis> Hi.
[04:36] <kolten> I have a problem. I installed ubuntu 11.04 and my grub 1.99 bootloader has my Windows 7 partition on it as an option to select it, but when I select it, it just brings up a blank screen with a blinking cursor. Any solutions?
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> dskdaskads: probably using 32bit Ubuntu, it cannot see the full RAM amount, you may want to install the PAE kernel to see the whole lot
[04:36] <dskdaskads> ActionParsnip: im using 64bit
[04:36] <ActionParsnip> dskdaskads: then your video chip is probably using some ram
[04:36] <Polah> dskdaskads, then that's probably onboard. GPUs that don't have dedicated video memory (i.e. onboard GPUs) borrow from the system memory. 256MB would seem pretty normal and would give you 3.7GB instead of the full 4GB
[04:37] <dskdaskads> oh ok
[04:37] <ELuis> Why is it generally frowned upon when a 30-year-old man lives in part of his mom's home?
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> ELuis: wrong channel dude
[04:37] <sabrion> Dell Inspiron 1501, Wireless broadcom 4311 wlan, how do I make it work?
[04:37] <theadmin> ELuis: Because this is the wrong channel
[04:37] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | sabrion
[04:37] <kolten> Hello? Can anyone hear me?
[04:37] <ELuis> Which channel to do you recommend?
[04:37] <rww> !ot | ELuis
[04:37] <dskdaskads> ELuis: because ppl have different lives
[04:37] <Polah> kolten: No we can't hear you, but we can read you.
[04:38] <kolten> Same thing.
[04:38] <kolten> I have a problem. I installed ubuntu 11.04 and my grub 1.99 bootloader has my Windows 7 partition on it as an option to select it, but when I select it, it just brings up a blank screen with a blinking cursor. Any solutions?
[04:38] <Polah> kolten: Whole different sensory input system :/
[04:38] <mordof> ActionParsnip: can i do the ram test in linux? lol
[04:38] <boxbeatsy> hi, i'm trying to setup vsftpd.  everything works, except for some reason, i can't replace any files.  i can delete the file first and then upload it anew.  does anyone know what might be causing this?
[04:39] <ActionParsnip> mordof: sure, reboot and hold shift at boot, select memtest from grub
[04:39] <Polah> boxbeatsy: Could you pastebin /etc/vsftpd or /etc/vsftpd.conf for me please?
[04:39] <mordof> ActionParsnip: well, meant from within a logged in session, but i suppose that wouldn't be very effective anyway
[04:39] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, already attempted, failed.
[04:39] <kolten> Did anyone catch my post?
[04:40] <Polah> kolten: May be better asked in #grub or #windows
[04:40] <kolten> ok...
[04:40] <ActionParsnip> sabrion: that's how you set them up. Can you expand on "failed" it tells us near nothing
[04:41] <ActionParsnip> mordof: not very as the OS would change the contents and create false positives
[04:41] <boxbeatsy> Polah: ok, here it is: https://gist.github.com/1c730cd7b1029f52fc69
[04:41] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, I followed the directions, and the device hasn't activated, it hasn't shown up in the connection manager.... nada, zip, zilch, nathan... failed.
[04:41] <mordof> ActionParsnip: *nods*. skimmed the logs, found nothing that stuck out :\ i'll have to do a mem test. is there a video card test in existance?
[04:42] <dskdaskads> /etc/sensors3.conf
[04:42] <dskdaskads> ?
[04:42] <mordof> man i really hope i'm not going to have to format..
[04:42] <ActionParsnip> mordof: not that I know of
[04:42] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, Ubuntu realizes that the device is there... The previous drivers are installed... but the wireless connections do not show up at all... even after install and restart.
[04:43] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, and somehow the wired connection is gone as well.
[04:43] <ActionParsnip> sabrion: can you give a pastebin of:  sudo lshw -C network; lsb_release -a; sudo rfkill list; dmesg | grep -i firm      Thanks
[04:43] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, on it.
[04:44] <phenrique> how to down a site? :)
[04:44] <Omen_20> hi you guys. I'm having a problem with my new asus laptop. The volume up and down buttons arent working. Theyre combos of fn and F11/F12. When I try entering that key combo it doesnt recognize it.
[04:44] <Omen_20> All the other functions that uses fn works though like brightness, wifi, and turning off the screen.
 what is the ip
[04:45] <mordof> ActionParsnip: do you know of a way to log all activity into a seperate file - only for the current session?
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> phenrique: stop the httpd
[04:45] <mordof> ActionParsnip: thinking that would show what was currently happening when a crash occurs..
[04:45] <happygolucky> Omen_20: but there is some sound?
[04:45] <ActionParsnip> mordof: not sure, maybe others can advise on it though
[04:46] <Omen_20> yeah my sound works. I can obviously use the sound menu but I would like to be able to use the keyboard like im used to.
[04:46] <phenrique> powner, <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:46] <mordof> Does anyone know how I would keep a log for everything running only for the current session? I'm having crashing issues and I have no idea where
[04:46] <boxbeatsy> Polah: o ok, so i made some headway.  it seems that hte files that i cannot replace are owned by www-data:www-data when the ftp user is twmaftpa:www-data
[04:46] <Polah> boxbeatsy: 022 would set files to 755 which would make them non-writeable which may allow you to delete them but not to change/write them
[04:47] <boxbeatsy> Polah: do you by any chance know how i could grant twmaftpa user the ability to replace files that have a chown setting of www-data:www-data? (twmaftpa is already part of the www-data group)
[04:47] <Polah> boxbeatsy: set umask to 002 which will give group write access
[04:47] <Polah> boxbeatsy: You'll need to change the permissions of existing files to 775 as well
[04:49] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/dvZL0Qjn
[04:49] <Polah> [;pl]'#
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> sabrion: you missed:   dmesg | grep firm     or does that output nothing?
[04:50] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, I ran it as a one liner.
[04:50] <ActionParsnip> sabrion: cool
[04:50] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, Apparently reports nothing.
[04:51] <ActionParsnip> sabrion: sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source; gksudo jockey-gtk
[04:52] <ActionParsnip> sabrion: you can either use liveCD and install from that, or boot to liveCD and chroot to the installed OS and use the wired network there
[04:52] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, I was using a usb loader. Any difference?
[04:52] <q0_0p> out of curiosity /usr/src/linux are the configs already set and made?
[04:53] <q0_0p> or would i have to reconfigure .config
[04:53] <happygolucky> q0_0p: far as i know that's a staging area to build kernel
[04:54] <happygolucky> Omen_20: have you looked into using pavucontrol?
[04:55] <happygolucky> am i lagged or something
[04:55] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, "This driver is activated, but not currently in use"
[04:56] <test> does anyone know the damn command to stop this message from happening? thesheff17 :Nickname is already in use.
[04:56] <happygolucky> sabrion: did you try modprobing it and then ifconfig eth0 up
[04:56] <Polah> test: Yeah, don't pick a nick that's already in use
[04:56] <test> its my nick...just got disconnected
[04:56] <test> and can't fix
[04:57] <happygolucky> test: so ghost it
[04:57] <sabrion> happygolucky, Can I get specific command on the mod probe... seen it listed too many times without understanding it.
[04:57] <hylian> is there something like dwm, but would run along with gnome or xfce?
[04:57] <test> k...let me check the ghost command thx
[04:57] <happygolucky> sabrion: if i had that information i'd tell u
[04:58] <sabrion> happygolucky, any way I can help you to help me with that?
[04:58] <happygolucky> sabrion: what are these devices?
[04:59] <happygolucky> which brands
[04:59] <sabrion> happygolucky, Broadcom wireless lan, 4311
[04:59] <happygolucky> is this a new machine or is it something that worked then stopped
[04:59] <thesheff17> happygolucky, thx that fixed it
[05:00] <thesheff17> it was driving me crazy
[05:00] <sabrion> happygolucky, old machine, fresh install.
[05:00] <RenatoSilva> how to turn off hibernation in 10.04?
[05:00] <sabrion> happygolucky, dell inspiron 1501 laptop.
[05:03] <sabrion> happygolucky, found it... still nada... but now jockey-gtk reports that the driver is in use.
[05:03] <sabrion> so... progress?

[05:07] <kolix> Hi, anyone around
[05:07] <kolix> ?
[05:07] <puffin> me!
[05:07] <puffin> What does ibm stand for?
[05:07] <kolix> ok i have a quick question
[05:08] <kolix> me and my buddy set up an apache web server on ubuntu server 11.04
[05:08] <theadmin> puffin: International Buisness Machines, and that wasn't an Ubuntu question
[05:08] <puffin> Okay thanks.
[05:08] <kolix> we were able to access the web server from our computers by typing in the machines ip adress in the url toolbar in our browsers. HOWEVER, now I'm at home and my connection times out
[05:09] <kolix> do i need to set up some type of DNS server or something we can access our web server outside of the ?LAN?
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> kolix: are you using the network's WAN IP
[05:09] <Nach0z> kolix: you need to set up port forwarding on the server's router
[05:09] <ActionParsnip> kolix: you will alos need to setup port forwarding on the router to allow the traffic  through
[05:09] <kolix> <IP_ADDRESS> was the machines IP
[05:09] <Nach0z> also you need to know the difference between the network's internal IP address, and the external IP
[05:10] <Nach0z> <IP_ADDRESS> is the internal IP address
[05:10] <Nach0z> k/w 38
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> kolix: something like dydns or noip will allow you to access the system via a name
[05:10] <Nach0z> ,...whoops.
[05:10] <kolix> the machines hostname was webserver2
[05:10] <kolix> ok slow down a bit guys >.>
[05:10] <ActionParsnip> kolix: that won't work if you are not on the same network
[05:10] <kolix> lol
[05:10] <datruth> I have a dual boot and need more space on my ubuntu how can I take the space I need from the windows partition?
[05:10] <kolix> the machine is still up now
[05:10] <kolix> i'm trying to access it through ssh
[05:11] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, happygolucky: restarted, driver is still activated, but not in use.
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> kolix: you need the WAN IP on the router to connect to, you then make a rule in the router's config to tel it to push connections on port 80 to the server's IP on pot 80
[05:11] <kolix> so i need to first find the routers external ip adress, configure the router for port forwarding and then set a static ip to the apache server?
[05:11] <happygolucky> sabrion: did you need to do modprobe b43?
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> kolix: then port 22
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> kolix: same method
[05:11] <sabrion> happygolucky, *shrug* I did it either way...
[05:11] <kolix> how can i find the routers external ip?
[05:11] <ActionParsnip> kolix: got it in one :)
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> kolix: from the internal network you can visit www.ipchicken.com
[05:12] <happygolucky> sabrion: do you have wireless-tools insttalled
[05:12] <sabrion> happygolucky: modprobe -r b43 ssb wl then modprobe wl
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> kolix: or you can look at the status of the router in the config pages
[05:12] <kolix> ActionParsnip, ok. and that will give me the routers ip?
[05:12] <ActionParsnip> kolix: yes, you can then access that from ANYWHERE in the world and access your services
[05:13] <kolix> if the machine on the LAN is <IP_ADDRESS>, then i edit the router to port forward port 80 to it's ip adress?
[05:13] <sabrion> happygolucky, yes.
[05:13] <ActionParsnip> kolix: but the router will drop the link due to the nature of NAT, so you tell it that certain connections are ok to let in, and how they are to be managed
[05:13] <Hot2Trot> is there some way I can give a command that uses ffmpeg or something that will stitch videos together? ie "ffmpeg vid1.avi vid2.avi vid3.avi final.avi"
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> Hot2Trot: you can use:  cat vid1 vid2 > result
[05:14] <kolix> awesome thanks guy.
[05:14] <happygolucky> sabrion: so then can you plug it in and then ifconfig <device> up and then dhclient <device>
[05:14] <kolix> btw, another quck question
[05:14] <ActionParsnip> Hot2Trot: the audio will be out of sync and there is a command to make it straight again
[05:14] <kolix> we were thinking about building some type of beowulf cluster for our server using some old comps.
[05:14] <Hot2Trot> ActionParsnip: The CAT command will put videos together and make one new big one? That seems nuts
[05:14] <kolix> our web site is going to be doing a lot of live stream video and playing pre-recordered video
[05:14] <Hot2Trot> ActionParsnip: bout to test it
[05:15] <kolix> would a beowulf have any effect on the speed of the stream or is that just purely connection speed/bandwidth?
[05:15] <sabrion> happygolucky,  it's a wireless device... nothing to plug up. and ifconfig reports that wl doesn't exist.
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> Hot2Trot: or more gracefully: cat *avi | mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o myvideo.avi -cat *avi | mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o myvideo.avi -
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> oops
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> Hot2Trot: cat *avi | mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o myvideo.avi -
[05:15] <ubun1> if a PCI card (device) is listed with "lspci" does that mean its installed?
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> Hot2Trot: will do it in one move :)
[05:15] <happygolucky> sabrion: is there a wlan0 device in iwconfig
[05:15] <ActionParsnip> ubun1: no, just detected
[05:15] <puffin> hello
[05:16] <sabrion> happygolucky, no.
[05:16] <sabrion> happygolucky, it reports no wireless devices.
[05:16] <ubun1> ActionParsnip: thank you... i guess i have to go find out how to install it
[05:16] <happygolucky> sabrion: is this a laptop? did you switch the switch on
[05:16] <hylian> can anyone point me in the right direction for dwm? I install it, and then log into it, but all I get is the log in background, and no keys seem to do anything, including the ones that are supposed to log you out...
[05:16] <sabrion> happygolucky, yes, and yes.
[05:17] <Hot2Trot> ActionParsnip: will that take care of any video formats I have the codecs for, not just avi's? (obiously change the .avi in your command)
[05:17] <sabrion> happygolucky, it's a soft switch... so I've been attempting either way... the light is active at least.
[05:17] <happygolucky> sabrion: your wireless card .. the odds of it being the same vendor as your ethernet are slim to none
[05:17] <ActionParsnip> Hot2Trot: I believe so, Have a search around to verify
[05:17] <sabrion> happygolucky, They are both broadcom, the wireless is 4311, the wired is 4415 or something like that.
[05:18] <MeirD> Hello
[05:18] <puffin> So who's excited for 11.10?
[05:18] <sabrion> happygolucky,  both ubuntu and the dell website report this to be the case.
[05:18] <theadmin> puffin: #ubuntu+1
[05:19] <MeirD> If I use Ubuntu installer downloaded from the website (using an  ISO image) and I choose to install Ubuntu instead of the exisiting OS and not alongside it, will it format my computer as well?
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> puffin: already running it here
[05:19] <puffin> :O
[05:19] <sabrion> MeirD: yes.
[05:19] <Hot2Trot> ActionParsnip: You are amazing, thank you for the help, and thank you for the help you've given me before and the help I'm sure you are likely to give me in the future
[05:19] <ActionParsnip> merlot: it can if you want, or it can resize the NTFS partition to make a dual boot
[05:19] <MeirD> great, thanks!
[05:20] <ActionParsnip> Hot2Trot: maybe the opposite will happen too, makes the world go around
[05:20] <Hot2Trot> ActionParsnip: Well, if you ever need help wasting several hours on google looking for complicated solutions to simple problems, I'm your man! :)
[05:21] <sabrion> Hot2Trot, I know what you mean.
[05:22] <ubun1> i found an install but my pc says "gedit" is not a command
[05:25] <happygolucky> sabrion: did you sudo service networking restart and also did you edit your interfaces to use your wireless device with a dhcp and or put nameservers in resolv.conf

[05:26] <xgt001> hi...while compiling 3.0.3 I forgot to include SMP... how to add it after I installed the deb files??
[05:26] <sabrion> happygolucky,  I cannot answer any of those questions, based on the fact that I do not know.
[05:27] <happygolucky> ubun1: gedit is a graphical text editor
[05:27] <happygolucky> ubun1: use whichever editor you're comfortable in
[05:27] <Hot2Trot> ActionParsnip: hmm... I rejoiced a little too soon, I tried the straight 'cat vida.avi vidb.avi > newvid.avi' and 'cat vida.avi vidb.avi | mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -o newvid.avi -' and each makes a new file called newvid.avi, but that file is just the first input file not stiched with the second one
[05:27] <ubun1> happygolucky: i guess that LUbuntu doesnt come with this?
[05:28] <happygolucky> ubun1: but you should know vi and vim are the defaults usually and it's better to learn those incase you're on a foreign sys
[05:28] <puffin> nano!
[05:29] <xgt001> my custom kernel doesn't work with DKMS.... I tried sudo dkms build -m fglrx -v 8.881 -k `uname -r`  no avail :(
[05:29] <DasEi> ubun1: nano and gedit are in lubuntu as in all other 'buntus, it's just the surface that differs, not the packages
[05:30] <revoltesociale> org
[05:30] <sabrion> happygolucky, so either way, that's probably a negatory on both counts.
[05:30] <Hot2Trot> well I will be back

[05:59] <sabrion> *Danke
[05:59] <Morrise> Hi guys.
[05:59] <DasEi> razer_: sure, no hardwarespindown, light
[06:00] <sbarcteam> I can grep flags /proc/cpuinfo. what flag shall I search for to ensure the CPU is 64-bit capable ?
[06:00] <amin`> i  wants to know what is the name of the icon that PARCELLITE uses in system-tray
[06:01] <sbarcteam> amin`, I think it is action "copy" icon.
[06:01] <razer> DasEi: Ok so I ticked off spin down hard disk.. Anything else I can do.. Like CPU usage?
[06:01] <DasEi> sbarcteam: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /proc/cpuinfo | pastebinit
[06:02] <sbarcteam> but if you change it, you will change it for everything.
[06:02] <sbarcteam> DasEi, I don't want to paste it.
[06:02] <sbarcteam> I want to know what flags to look for.
[06:02] <sbarcteam> DasEi, am I not specific enough in my question ?
[06:02] <DasEi> razer: as said, I don't use unity, so have to look yourself
[06:03] <razer> DasEi: Thanks man... Ill look into it
[06:04] <ActionParsnip> razer: could switch to a lighter DE like LXDE. Uses less CPU power and saves battery

[06:06] <sbarcteam> thank you.
[06:06] <sbarcteam> amin`, do you understand what will happen if you change the "right" file ?
[06:07] <sabrion> happygolucky, keeps failing. Where do I need the tarball? I have to do the installs manually (copy from my comp over to the 1501)
[06:07] <sbarcteam> DasEi, I meant thank YOU.
[06:10] <aaas> is there any benefit of a nas over just a plain home server?
[06:11] <aaas> i dont really see much
[06:13] <DasEi> aaas: depends on purpose
[06:14] <aaas> DasEi I guess if you need somthing simple maybe a bit more reliable thats all i can really see
[06:14] <aaas> DasEi other than that it seems like the home server wins in almost all other cases
[06:14] <jaybutts> in order to enter the mind of a haxor I have borrowed some weed from my neighbor and fire up some exploit scanners, I will now proceed to play quake for 3 hours, in order to defeat your enemy you must think like them *sips his mr pibb*
[06:14] <DasEi> aaas: nas can be deployed via fstab, if it's always up and might be safer if not reachable through net, and nas might be faster, too
[06:15] <DasEi> aaas: a secured samba is another option
[06:15] <aaas> DasEi i do wonder if it's faster... compared to samba
[06:17] <DasEi> aaas: in my experience the defaults make nas faster, though samba can be tweaked
[06:17] <aaas> DasEi  yeah im not sure.. probably marginal gains though that don't override the 20 other possible uses/services you can run on a home server
[06:18] <DasEi> aaas: as said, depends on purpose, for just a file here and then scp (ssh) does fine
[06:18] <sabrion> happygolucky, it requires a tarball to be downloaded from a site.... don't suppose there's a manual way to install that?
[06:19] <aaas> DasEi yes there's almost always a reason someone would want something...but in this case there seems to be sooo few reasons
[06:20] <DasEi> aaas: then go ssh or nas, smallest hassle

[06:35] <Snowie> Dasei, will look at that file now.
[06:35] <sabrion> Okay guys, sit rep. Laptop has no means of communication with the net. I have to ferry files from my laptop to it, by means of a pendrive... all my other options have failed at this point. While attempting to install a program that would work with this install, it consistently fails because it can't download a file from a webserver.... so I have to manually make and install the driver. Copy?
[06:35] <Lasers> ssargennto: Sure. It's the same thing for KDE. Although it's not exactly messy -- but I assume you just want XFCE-only packages on XFCE menu and vice versa for Gnome or KDE.
[06:35] <Antrax> hi, does anyone know how i can make ssh server accessible anywhere? thanks
[06:36] <hammma> hello  all
[06:36] <Lasers> Antrax: "sudo apt-get install ssh" -- That's it. Now, you have to forward the port on your router.
[06:36] <DasEi> sabrion: yes and no, the steps and files you can do remotely aka add up to a script and d/l needed files in same dir; no way of wired ethernet ?
[06:36] <ssargennto> Lasers, gotcha... thinking of installing xfce.. unsure about it
[06:37] <Antrax> i've already tried forwarding the port in my router but still nothing...
[06:37] <sabrion> DasEi, Nope... that driver is somehow irreparably disabled.
[06:37] <sabrion> DasEi, I have come into one of those *interesting* situations apparently.
[06:38] <DasEi> sabrion: another way could be use a usb to rj45 adapter, if else things are too hard
[06:38] <Lasers> ssargennto: Experiment? Use VirtualBox for that.
[06:38] <Antrax> Lasers: im thinking maybe because i only have 300kbps upload speed at home
[06:38] <sabrion> DasEi, I don't have one... Like I said... *interesting situation*
[06:39] <Antrax> Lasers: that's why my friends cant access my ssh, dont you think?
[06:39] <Lasers> Antrax: Nothing as in...?
[06:39] <hammma> I'm running unity, how can a launch icon on the side bar open a new program other than bringing the current program window to the foreground
[06:39] <Lasers> Antrax: Connection closed? -- No responsive -- What?
[06:40] <sabrion> Tarball contains no  make file. Options?
[06:40] <Antrax> Lasers: yes, everytime i try access from somewhere it says something like login timeout
[06:40] <DasEi> sabrion: don't push too hard all in one time, the bcm 4311 isn't such a beast, either do it on your working box and get all the needed prerequs  as the listet steps into the script , hook the hd of bcm to current box, try alive cd and copy things or..
[06:40] <Snowie> Dasei, ifdown eth0 shows not configured. But is definately in /interfaces as line- auto eth0. Does that tell you anything?
[06:41] <Lasers> Antrax: Ah. You could change the configuration file. Longer ping response, longer interval, longer grace login, etc etc.
[06:41] <ActionParsnip> sabrion: is the tarball a source tarball or binary? What are you trying to achieve?
[06:41] <DasEi> Snowie: yes, interfaces lacks some info, how do you connect, dhcp or static ?
[06:41] <Lasers> Antrax: In /etc/ssh*
[06:41] <Snowie> Dhcp
[06:41] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, apparently it is a source tarball of the drivers for the bcm4311
[06:42] <DasEi> ActionParsnip: bcm4311 on a boxwith no inet
[06:42] <Snowie> Thats listed in the line below
[06:42] <Snowie> Iface eth0 inet dhcp
[06:42] <DasEi> Snowie: ah, so eth0 is configured
[06:42] <Antrax> Lasers: OK, thank you very much, ill be at home in a minute...i will try your suggestions...
[06:42] <ActionParsnip> sabrion: there is a guide on how to install the packages from livecd
[06:43] <DasEi> Snowie: what tells a sudo dhclient ?
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> Dasei: cheers dude
[06:43] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, no cd.. I used a usb loader... which for some reason isn't doing the same.
[06:43] <ActionParsnip> sabrion: same difference
[06:44] <Snowie> Too much to type on my android. Anything specific your after.
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | sabrion
[06:44] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, Tried that.
[06:44] <DasEi> sabrion: can you hook bcm' s hd to your running box ?
[06:44] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, Repeat: USB loader, not working the same.
[06:44] <sabrion> DasEi, No.
[06:44] <DasEi> heh
[06:44] <sabrion> Linux is a fun girl, shows me fun times. :|
[06:44] <Snowie> Looks like it tells me I have a valid .4 address from my subnet
[06:45] <DasEi> sabrion: well, live usb should work, too, did you use a server cd to install ?
[06:45] <DasEi> Snowie: so you can connect
[06:45] <sabrion> DasEi: Booted from and installed from USB.
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> sabrion: if you add the usb as a repo, you can install what is needed from the install device. The process is outlined in the linm
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> Link*
[06:45] <DasEi> sabrion: yes, but which image ?
[06:46] <sabrion> DasEi: 11.04, Desktop I believe.
[06:46] <hammma> windows decoration keeps on crashing, is there some sort of a log file to trace the error
[06:46] <hammma> ?
[06:46] <DasEi> sabrion: tried connectivity there ?
[06:46] <sabrion> DasEi: Beg pardon?
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> hammma: what is the output of: lsb_release -sc
[06:47] <DasEi> hammma: /var/log/syslog,  /etc/X11/Xorg.0.log
[06:47] <Snowie> Dasei, now working. Wth. So perhaps I just need to run that dhcp command if I get stuck again. Flaky old laptop... :S
[06:47] <DasEi> sabrion: when on live-usb, do you get inet there ?
[06:47] <sabrion> DasEi, Had it, lost it.
[06:48] <DasEi> Snowie: can have various reasons, sometimes the nic simply isn't up fast enough
[06:48] <hammma> lsb_release -sc : natty
[06:48] <sabrion> DasEi, no wait... that was enet... but doing enet here kills everything...
[06:49] <Snowie> Ok. Thanks. Now on to auto mount usb in xfce, bit at least now I have internet
[06:49] <DasEi> sabrion: so do another write of live disk with unetbootin and try again, maybe not today (lol, once you hit the wall with it, I can't help either ;) )
[06:49] <sabrion> DasEi any way to do full reinstall, this time with updates and drivers?
[06:49] <e75> are there any command line programs for managing the ppp connection that the gnome network applet manages?
[06:50] <iamfennec> hello
[06:50] <e75> i'd like to bring up my ppp connection from command line rather than the network applet
[06:50] <DasEi> sabrion: can try netinstall> expert mode and enable partners repo, though I can't tell if it fetches all then.. I'd rather pull the hd or get a few bucks for an adapter
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> sabrion: the broadcom firmware is proprietary and cannot be legally included on the ISO. There is an app on the ISO to extract yours and make the wifi work
[06:51] <e75> the configuration for pon isn't even correct. so i'm guessing the network applet brings up the ppp connection a different way
[06:51] <DasEi> e75: try sudo pppoeconfig
[06:52] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, Is there a gray hat I can talk to about this?
[06:52] <e75> DasEi: last time i done that, it broke my dsl connection from the gnome network applet. :S
[06:52] <nnull> sabrion, find a rainbow hat
[06:52] <taddis> Hi, anyone who knows when the Apache2 DoS bug (http://www.linuxsecurity.com/content/view/155723?rdf) will get fixed in Maverick (Ubuntu 10.10)? Can someone point me to information about this issue for ubuntu?
[06:53] <DasEi> e75: wrong userdta ? and you can decide after testing wether to write new config or not;; interfaces always overides nm-applet
[06:53] <hammma> neither /var/log/syslog nor /etc/X11/Xorg.0.log exist
[06:53] <DasEi> taddis: is already in latest update
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> sabrion: that means nothing to me
[06:53] <taddis> DasEi, it is? hmm strange
[06:54] <e75> hmm. alright. thanks DasEi
[06:54] <ActionParsnip> taddis: is there a bug reported, marked as a security risk?
[06:54] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, White hat: Totally legit, Black Hat: Totally illegal, Gray Hat: Middle of the road.
[06:54] <DasEi> taddis: second, I try to grab it
[06:55] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, Spy vs. spy, old media culture reference to techies.
[06:56] <DasEi> taddis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/678624/
[06:56] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, I was trying to be funny, and now have made a total a** of myself.
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> sabrion: yes i know that bit but how does it relate to installing wireless drivers
[06:56] <taddis> DasEi, Thanks, that was the link I provided in my question :)
[06:57] <pteague> any idea why ubuntuforums.org now seems to require logging in to just view the forums?
[06:57] <taddis> DasEi, or at least the same content
[06:57] <DasEi> taddis: don't get dos'ed
[06:57] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, You mentioned I couldn't legally put it on the iso... I was suggesting that there may be someone else who could suggest  that I do it regardless.
[06:57] <sabrion> *How I could do it, regardless.
[06:57] <billybigrigger> google is your friend
[06:58] <DasEi> sabrion: action already told you, and leave your missunderstanding part, legal reason have nothing to do with illegal practices
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> sabrion: you could remaster your own ubuntu with your own firmware in by default. Not sure of legality there but sounds ok to me.
[07:00] <ActionParsnip> sabrion: as i said earlier, everything you need is on the install media but a wired connection makes life waaay easier
[07:00] <DasEi> sabrion: do a working live usb, bokkmark given link, sleep over it, chroot in the hd, get it done
[07:00] <gaston_> Hi all
[07:00] <sabrion> ActionParsnip, Yeah, probably would.
[07:01] <sabrion> DasEi, I can tell it's getting late, because that made 0 sense to me.
[07:01] <sabrion> DasEi: My bad jokes aside.... ActionParsnip: I guess I'll have to find some other way to go about this... Tomorrow/Later today. Thanks for your help folks... But It's a bit late for me. Night all.
[07:01] <gaston_> I'm just introducing my colleague (Gaston) to xchat. This is his first time here. He's running Ubuntu 11.04 and having problems getting his webcam to work.
[07:01] <gaston_> So, I'm out and I'll leave you with Gaston.
[07:01] <ferret_> rrrrrrr
[07:02] <ActionParsnip> gaston_: does it show ok in cheese?
[07:02] <DasEi> sabrion: http://tinyurl.com/4x35fm2
[07:02] <gaston_> no
[07:02] <DasEi> ah, gone
[07:02] <ouyes> uptime
[07:02] <ouyes>  15:02:03 up  4:24,  6 users,  load average: 0.58, 0.48, 0.51
[07:02] <gaston_> everything looks matelic
[07:02] <ouyes> why 6 users
[07:02] <gaston_> matalic
[07:02] <ouyes> I have just one user?
[07:02] <MrL0ngbowman> hello
[07:03] <gaston_> im a noob
[07:03] <DasEi> ouyes: enter who and see
[07:03] <ActionParsnip> gaston: ok then run:  lsusb    one line will identify the device, use the 8 character hex id to find guides
[07:03] <gaston_> OK, thank you
[07:03] <e75> hmm
[07:03] <ouyes> DasEi, what is pts/0 ?
[07:04] <gaston_> also please tell me what is a good chat software to use that is compatible with yahoo, msn and qq messengers
[07:04] <q0_0p> gaston_: i like empathy
[07:04] <lyn> Hi all, I added a subdomain and then run "sudo a2ensite subdomain.domain.com" but this subdomain does't run?
[07:04] <nicofs> How Can I restart my sound?
[07:05] <DasEi> ouyes: some sleeping process
[07:05] <BlackDex> Hello there..
[07:05] <e75> gaston_: i had problems with a bit of software connecting to qq. qq does have an older beta client they made for linux. it works. not the greatest, but it works.
[07:05] <ouyes> DasEi, all are ouyes
[07:05] <ouyes> all the user are ouyes
[07:05] <BlackDex> ubuntu versions before 11.04 had the posibility of viewing man-pages via yelp
[07:05] <gaston_> Ok thank you
[07:05] <BlackDex> This isn't possible anymore
[07:06] <gaston_> for the information.
[07:06] <stillParsnip> ouyes: do you ssh to the system?
[07:06] <BlackDex> Is there an alternative?
[07:06] <DasEi> ouyes: yes, but you apparently run diffrent tty's, apps, browsers...
[07:06] <iceroot> BlackDex: less
[07:06] <BlackDex> except for the cli
[07:06] <gaston_> ttfn
[07:06] <stillParsnip> BlackDex: why
[07:07] <ouyes> stillParsnip, what ssh?
[07:07] <iceroot> BlackDex: xman
[07:07] <stillParsnip> Why not cli?
[07:07] <stillParsnip> ouyes: yes
[07:07] <ouyes> DasEi, yes I have 3 ttys one browsers
[07:07] <iceroot> BlackDex: also gman
[07:07] <ouyes> stillParsnip, what is ssh?
[07:07] <DasEi> !ssh
[07:07] <iceroot> BlackDex: or http://www.linuxmanpages.com/
[07:08] <stillParsnip> !ssh
[07:08] <stillParsnip> Too slow on my phone kboard
[07:08] <BlackDex> There is no GUI anymore available :S..
[07:08] <BlackDex> Why did ubuntu removed this feature :S
[07:08] <nikitoss> Здравствуйте, подскажите пожалуйста как перейти на русский канал убунту
[07:09] <DasEi> !ru | nikitoss
[07:09] <stillParsnip> !info gman
[07:09] <nikitoss> Спасибо!
[07:09] <iceroot> BlackDex: i told you 2 programs with a gui
[07:09] <iceroot> BlackDex: xman and gman
[07:09] <BlackDex> ow
[07:09] <BlackDex> sorry
[07:09] <stillParsnip> BlackDex: install gman as iceroot suggested...
[07:09] <BlackDex> overlooked that
[07:10] <BlackDex> :$
[07:10] <iceroot> BlackDex: but i think its a good idea to learn "less" with is the default man-viewer on the shell
[07:10] <iceroot> BlackDex: gman less :)
[07:10] <iceroot> or gman man :)
[07:11] <BlackDex> i know less..
[07:11] <BlackDex> But sometimes it is easer to have a GUI version
[07:11] <stillParsnip> BlackDex: using terminal means your abilities will be more portable to other distros
[07:11] <BlackDex> most of the time i use cli, but sometimes gui is a bit nicer
[07:12] <stillParsnip> Given
[07:12] <rclay> Hey, does anyone know how to solve this problem? GPG error: http://backports.debian.org squeeze-backports InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY AED4B06F473041FA
[07:12] <iceroot> rclay: wrong channel
[07:12] <rclay> I'm running ubuntu
[07:12] <iceroot> rclay: #debian  and dont!!! mix debian repos with ubuntu repos
[07:12] <stillParsnip> Rclay: debian isn't supported here
[07:12] <iceroot> rclay: dont mix them!!!
[07:13] <rclay> I'm just getting the puppet 2.7.1 packages.
[07:13] <bladerunner> where is all the jobs at!
[07:13] <stillParsnip> Rclay: mixing debian and ubuntu is also not supported here, nor is it advised or smart
[07:14] <stillParsnip> Rclay: use an ubuntu ppa
[07:14] <iceroot> !backports | rclay
[07:14] <stillParsnip> Bladerunner: probably in bed at this time
[07:15] <stillParsnip> !ppa | rclay
[07:15] <being> well true
[07:15] <being> how hard is it to learn to be a linux admin?
[07:15] <natalie> howdy all. have an ooooolllllllddddd lappy with lubuntu and i have 3 questions. 1. how can i turn off the battery info in tray. battery is removed and this will always be connected AC. 2. i have the original laptop screen at 1080X720 and an additional monitor connected 1920X1080. i can mirror them but im looking for a gui to manage side by side screens.
[07:15] <linuxuz3r> i want to know too
[07:15] <rclay> Yeah, I know about all of those...
[07:15] <linuxuz3r> being, i want to know too
[07:15] <natalie> *2 questions
[07:15] <stillParsnip> Being: i'd ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:15] <rclay> I just want to get rid of the error and add the key.
[07:15] <being> ic ic
[07:16] <rclay> The debian puppet backports work with ubuntu.
[07:16] <stillParsnip> Rclay: what you are doing isn't supported
[07:16] <stillParsnip> natalie: ask away
[07:17] <natalie> stillParsnip, did. just have 2 now instead of 3. look above. worked out usb mounts
[07:17] <natalie> :))
[07:17] <nikitoss> any russian speeking?
[07:18] <e75> nikitoss: i live 50 miles away from siberia. i can't speak russian though. :(
[07:18] <natalie> nikitos, "in soviet russia, english anys you" lol. sorry, couldn't resist, but no, i dont speak russian
[07:18] <huseyin> hi
[07:18] <huseyin> since this morning i have a problem with xubuntu
[07:18] <stillParsnip> natalie: you can look in power options and tell it to never display an icon. The display bit will depend on the video chip used
[07:19] <huseyin> all the application borders are gone
[07:19] <huseyin> i cannot resize, move, close applications by the buttons on the borders
[07:19] <huseyin> i cannot switch workspaces
[07:19] <FryderykChopin> test
[07:19] <FryderykChopin> hey
[07:19] <FryderykChopin> can one install ubuntu on a netbook that doesn't have a cd reader ?
[07:19] <huseyin> the number of workspaces were two but goes back to 4
[07:20] <natalie> stillParsnip, i know i can get side by side pretty well with ramdr(???) i think. but i dont want permanent conf in case i do unplug it. is there a tool to manage it better automatically
[07:20] <huseyin> i cannot see open windows on the panel
[07:20] <stillParsnip> natalie: if its lubuntu, rightclick lxpanel and edit the panel, you can add and remove stuff as you wish
[07:20] <huseyin> anyone can give me a hint?
[07:20] <eden6000> FryderykChopin: use usbcreator
[07:20] <nicofs> huseyin, might be a stupid thing to say, but did you try to restart?
[07:20] <huseyin> a lot of times
[07:21] <eden6000> if you have another pc with ubuntu you can make an usb stick with that utility
[07:21] <huseyin> i have also stopped some of the processes that starts with the session
[07:21] <eden6000> then you boot with it and you can install from usb
[07:21] <natalie> stillParsnip
[07:21] <natalie> lol
[07:22] <nicofs> huseyin, from what you say, i'd guess that some of your config is quite screwed up... try #xubuntu, they might help you there...
[07:22] <huseyin> thanks
[07:22] <taddis> DasEi, I have the latest apache2* () packages for Maverick and I can still bring down our servers with killapache.pl (the test script for the bug). Look at this pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/678642/. So is the bug fixed in debian only, I don't get it?
[07:23] <KTM640A> question - i just installed java package etc.. and my terminal screen came into a ToS pretty much when i scroll down it says <Ok> how do i select that.. lol?
[07:23] <nicofs> KTM640A, Tab doesn't work?
[07:24] <KTM640A> nicofs: that worked, thanks.
[07:26] <KTM640A> could anyone recommend some things a new user to linux should know? websites/tips tricks/ apps etc
[07:28] <aeplus> ktm640a, read... lots of reading
[07:28] <nicofs> KTM640A, depends on what you want to do...
[07:29] <KTM640A> i don't wanna be a n00b that's all lol
[07:29] <nicofs> My sound suddenly sounds weird - how can I restart my sound to work again?
[07:29] <iceroot> KTM640A: a good start for not beeing a noob is not to use "n00b" or "lol"
[07:29] <iceroot> KTM640A: or other strange things :)
[07:29] <KTM640A> iceroot: fair enough :p
[07:30] <lazyBonez> can I have gnome-3 on my ubuntu 11.04?
[07:30] <iceroot> KTM640A: practise is the best way to do the first steps in linux. try to install packages from the gui, them use the shell. try to understand what all the things in "top" ans "ps aux" mean
[07:31] <iceroot> !fsh
