[00:00] <minion35> plut0: thats the full size
[00:00] <minion35> KXTwo: whats the logic problem?
[00:00] <plut0> minion35: i haven't even partitioned it yet
[00:00] <cybrhuman> KXTwo: if it isn't too advanced I can give it a shot
[00:00] <KXTwo> its FAIRLY simple cybrhuman I should knwo how to do it but im drawing a blank
[00:01] <cybrhuman> KXTwo: then I will try :)
[00:01] <ephedrandrox> So who's put ubuntu on their HTC? Direction?
[00:01] <KXTwo> I have an 9 element array that keeps the score of 9 holes of golf
[00:01] <minion35> plut0: I know but its the same with every drive.
[00:01] <KXTwo> I just need to know how to add the scores together
[00:01] <KXTwo> for loop is my instinct
[00:01] <cybrhuman> KXTwo: yup
[00:01] <KXTwo> for x 0 to 8
[00:02] <stanman246> ephedrandrox, xda fora?
[00:02] <plut0> minion35: http://pastebin.com/M627WD5x
[00:02] <cybrhuman> from i =0 to i < 9 I would say
[00:02] <ephedrandrox> Well I got it rooted off thief
[00:02] <KXTwo> thats about as far as I got lol
[00:02] <ephedrandrox> Their
[00:02] <cybrhuman> KXTwo: which language?
[00:03] <KXTwo> next line maybe: totalScore = scoreArray[x] + scoreArray[x+1}
[00:03] <KXTwo> then x = 2  maybe
[00:03] <KXTwo> its just logic
[00:03] <KXTwo> no lagunage
[00:04] <KXTwo> no that wont work
[00:04] <KXTwo> because total score will continue to be overwritten
[00:04] <KXTwo> oh I got it
[00:04] <cybrhuman> +=
[00:04] <KXTwo> totalScore = scoreArrray[x]
[00:04] <brightspark> KXTwo: totalscore = totalscore + scorearray[x]
[00:05] <KXTwo> yep thats where I was thinking
[00:05] <cybrhuman> total+=golf[x]
[00:05] <KXTwo> before the foreloop
[00:05] <cybrhuman> total = 0
[00:05] <KXTwo> or in declaratons declare totalscore = 0
[00:05] <KXTwo> then for x 0 to 9
[00:05] <KXTwo> totalscore = totalscore = scorearray[x]
[00:06] <KXTwo> brightspark, thank you
[00:06] <sirgad> Hi. I'm trying to set up a VPN server on Ubuntu. What's it called when you have a gateway that you connect to from public wifi to secure your data before sending to the general web?  Is that a VPN Gateway?
[00:06] <KXTwo> too bad there wasnt a programming logic channel lol
[00:06] <cybrhuman> declare it and initialize it to zero and add it up like that, assuming the second = should be + :)
[00:06] <brightspark> KXTwo: no prob
[00:06] <cybrhuman> KXTwo: np :)
[00:07] <KXTwo> thanks to everyone sorry
[00:07] <KXTwo> hey when im finished would anyone mind reading my finished product and tell me what you think?
[00:08] <multipass> hey, anyone have recomendation on music players other than rythembox?
[00:08] <cybrhuman> KXTwo: if I am awake :) (I won't answer if I am not)
[00:08] <aeon-ltd> multipass: mpd if you don't mind configuring, then with sonata as a gui frontend or ncmpcpp if you like cli
[00:08] <Nisstyre> yeah, ncmpcpp is the best
[00:09] <Nisstyre> mpc is good too for quick access to mpd
[00:09] <KXTwo> cybrhuman, im almost done
[00:09] <KXTwo> its just an edit I wanted to try myself for an old project
[00:09] <cybrhuman> multipass: Amarok is usable again :) if you don't mind the qt loading
[00:09] <multipass> does it require a crazy ammount of dependencies if im using ubuntu?
[00:10] <aeon-ltd> multipass: nope, iirc
[00:10] <cybrhuman> multipass: amarok, kde-stuff at least
[00:10] <psychoticdad> why doesn't tcpdump run as nobody ;( it just runs as root!
[00:10] <psychoticdad> you have to specify it with the -Z on 10.10
[00:11] <multipass> my rythembox is using 350mb of ram which seems alot for a music player
[00:11] <psychoticdad> red hat was clever here and made a tcpdump user just for the purpose
[00:12] <cybrhuman> multipass: amarok requires a huge load of deps... about 255 MB to get it in on my system ...
[00:13] <multipass> cybrhuman, 17.5MB to download, 59.1MB when installed
[00:13] <multipass> maybe i have some of the kde stuff actually
[00:13] <cybrhuman> multipass: you got KDE already?
[00:13] <multipass> well i did try out Kate editor
[00:13] <multipass> which is KDE
[00:13] <cybrhuman> oh, yes
[00:13] <sje46> hey, how do you downlload just the package with apt-get, without installing it  I tried the -d option, but it said that was an invalid option
[00:14] <plut0> is there a way to see a 3tb drive on ubuntu 10.04? looks like i'm missing a kernel option, i can only see 2199gb
[00:14] <multipass> I also tried foobnix and deadbeef, they were decent..
[00:14] <Nisstyre> multipass, mpd has ~16 dependencies
[00:14] <cybrhuman> plut0: try calculating between KiB and KB and you'll see that that might be all the disk you have
[00:15] <Nisstyre> including sqlite and avahi
[00:15] <plut0> cybrhuman: disk size should say 3000gb not 2199gb
[00:15] <plut0> cybrhuman: i haven't partitioned it yet
[00:15] <Nisstyre> ANY program using 350 mbs of memory is ridiculous
[00:15] <Nisstyre> unless it's some kind of science program
[00:16] <Nisstyre> or media editing
[00:16] <minion35> Nisstyre: well thats media players in linux :(
[00:16] <Nisstyre> minion35, nope
[00:16] <Nisstyre> use mpd + ncmpcpp
[00:16] <itilious> if i'm using tightvncserver how can i know which port its running thru?
[00:16] <itilious> so that i can tunnel the port in putty
[00:16] <multipass> im trying ncmcpp atm
[00:16] <multipass> whats mpd?
[00:16] <Nisstyre> multipass, ncmpcpp is useless without mpd
[00:17] <Nisstyre> ncmpcpp is just a client to mpd (Music Player Daemon)
[00:17] <multipass> o ok
[00:17] <Nisstyre> it works like a server/client architecture. Similar to Xorg.
[00:17] <Nisstyre> so you can control your music remotely, and from multiple clients
[00:17] <multipass> no ubuntu package for MPD?
[00:18] <Nisstyre> there should be one
[00:18] <demonspork> background music for everyone's tech support: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtPk5IUbdH0
[00:18] <plut0> is there a way to see a 3tb drive on ubuntu 10.04? looks like i'm missing a kernel option, i can only see 2199gb
[00:21] <cybrhuman> plut0: how much do you expect to see? you do know that HDD manufacturers use KB=1000 bytes and most others count KB = 1024 bytes?
[00:22] <ZykoticK9> cybrhuman, you still wouldn't expect close to 1/3 of the drive to be missing...
[00:22] <plut0> cybrhuman: i think you're thinking of formatted size, the disk size should still state 3000tb
[00:22] <plut0> er 3000gb
[00:22] <CannotTakeOwners> Hello
[00:23] <bonny> #lubuntu
[00:23] <CannotTakeOwners> Hello?  I can't see any chat
[00:23] <Torne> i'm booting ubuntu with a non-ubuntu kernel and i get a SEGV for plymouth on every boot. Boot seems to have succeeded though. ANy idea what's happening?
[00:23] <CannotTakeOwners> Nvm.
[00:24] <ohsix> Torne: drm/kms support in that kernel?
[00:24] <multipass> ncmpc++ have a high learning curve?
[00:24] <Torne> ohsix: not sure
[00:24] <CannotTakeOwners> I can't take ownership of a root owned file; even though chown -v tells me I have
[00:24] <Torne> ohsix: it should only be the text plymouth though i think.. i have a base install only
[00:24] <Torne> ohsix: only ubuntu-standard
[00:25] <CannotTakeOwners> Can anyone help me with taking ownership of a directory?
[00:25] <Torne> ohsix: it does have drm, going by dmesg
[00:26] <ohsix> Torne: dunno brah, that was my short checklist of kernel things with plymouth
[00:26] <Torne> ohsix: it doesn't have initrd/initramfs, though, which may be relevant to plymouth
[00:26] <minion35> CannotTakeOwners: whats the problem?
[00:26] <Torne> I am booting directly to the ubuntu rootfs
[00:26] <ohsix> Torne: relevant to a lot of things agh
[00:26] <ohsix> create one
[00:26] <Torne> ohsix: kernel doesn't support it
[00:26] <ohsix> update-initramfs -k <your kernel> -c
[00:26] <ohsix> well fix that
[00:27] <Torne> this is a cr48 with the stock EFI bios
[00:27] <Torne> there's no way to load an initrd/initramfs image
[00:27] <Torne> because, yaknow, no real bootloader.
[00:27] <delkin> I have sony vaio vpcf1. I installed ubuntu 10.10. My micro is not working when i speak in skype. Can someone help, please ?
[00:27] <Torne> i could build a kernel with initramfs embedded but that's a lot of effort given that it seems to work as it is, despite the weird crash
[00:27] <plut0> is there a way to see a 3tb drive on ubuntu 10.04? looks like i'm missing a kernel option, i can only see 2199gb
[00:27] <minion35> delkin: what microphone is it?
[00:27] <ohsix> if you can load a linux image you can load a grub image
[00:28] <Torne> ohsix: Not true
[00:28] <delkin> minion35, i dont know
[00:28] <CannotTakeOwners> There seems to be more questiosn than answers on here... Can anyone help me take ownership of a directory, I have a very odd bug
[00:28] <ohsix> CannotTakeOwners: what bug?
[00:28] <Torne> ohsix: the boot stub only has a partial implementation of EFI, it doesn't pass the required hardware descriptoins to make egrub work
[00:28] <delkin> minion35, how can i know?
[00:28] <Torne> ohsix: or to boot an unpatched linux kernel.
[00:28] <CannotTakeOwners> ohsix, I go chown excels -v /media/filename
[00:28] <Torne> ohsix: it can only boot chromeos's patched kernel ;)
[00:29] <trihope> Noob question: I'm downloading the Ubuntu-restricted-extras, it popped up a End-User License Agreement, and there is an "<Ok>" at the bottom but I can't figure out how to continue with the installation. Help?
[00:29] <CannotTakeOwners> then I go ls -ld
[00:29] <CannotTakeOwners> And it says its owned by root
[00:29] <ohsix> CannotTakeOwners: is /filename ntfs?
[00:29] <CannotTakeOwners> ohsix, its on virtualbox
[00:29] <ohsix> trihope: hit tab
[00:29] <minion35> delkin: 10.10 apparently works with the mic
[00:29] <trihope> ohsix: thanks
[00:29] <ohsix> CannotTakeOwners: nonnative filesystems don't often support posix permissions
[00:29] <CannotTakeOwners> So... I don't know if its NTFS
[00:30] <ohsix> trihope: depemding on your terminal emulator you can also click with the mouse :]
[00:30] <CannotTakeOwners> um... so what am I supposed to do, ohsix
[00:30] <codex84> how u change your nick
[00:30] <codex84> ?
[00:31] <rcconf> hi
[00:31] <CannotTakeOwners> codex, use /nick newnick
[00:31] <brightspark> delkin: check whether input devices are muted
[00:31] <codex84> oh register a new nick
[00:31] <rcconf> I sshed into the server added my user to sudoer then did a reboot... but it didnt restart
[00:31] <rcconf> maybe that user doesnt have permission to reboot?
[00:31] <rcconf> or should i add nopasswd option?
[00:31] <rcconf> 1m left of connection :P
[00:32] <delkin> brightspark, in Soud Prefferences the check box for mute is not checked. But when I speak to the micro i cant see the bars moving.
[00:32] <rcconf> almost diconnected
[00:32] <rcconf> :(
[00:33] <delkin> brightspark, "bars" i mean 'Input Level'
[00:33] <plut0> is there a way to see a 3tb drive on ubuntu 10.04? looks like i'm missing a kernel option, i can only see 2199gb
[00:33] <brightspark> delkin: check if another mic in the dropdown works
[00:33] <ohsix> plut0: you need to use another partitioning scheme than mbr
[00:34] <ohsix> plut0: thats the limit with mbr
[00:34] <brightspark> it did for me
[00:34] <brightspark> delkin: ^
[00:34] <plut0> ohsix: none of the partition tools recognize the disk as 3000gb, they state 2199gb instead
[00:34] <plut0> ohsix: before anything is even partitioned
[00:34] <CannotTakeOwners> ohsix:  So my virtualbox shared folder is permanently under root control?
[00:37] <plut0> is there a way to see a 3tb drive on ubuntu 10.04? looks like i'm missing a kernel option, i can only see 2199gb. http://pastebin.com/M627WD5x
[00:37] <delkin> brightspark, from "Choose a device for sound input:"  i have only : "internal audio analog stereo"
[00:38] <delkin> brightspark, i also checked alsamixer, and every single bar is at max level
[00:38] <Guest4718> hello can anyone help me i need to get nvidia working on my laptop
[00:38] <brightspark> delkin: try in alsamixer then (run from terminal)
[00:38] <themoebius> what can I do if a process just won't die even with kill -9?
[00:39] <ohsix> themoebius: leave it, it's dead already, but you might want to figure out why
[00:40] <minion35> right im off. bye all.
[00:40] <ohsix> themoebius: that usually happens when somethiing is stuck in a syscall; which is bad news
[00:40] <delkin> brightspark, nothing seems to be working
[00:40] <delkin> :(
[00:40] <CannotTakeOwners> ohsix:  I think something is broken with my OS, it just told me I'm very rich
[00:40] <CannotTakeOwners> Because my hd is 128 tb
[00:40] <themoebius> ohsix: I'm trying to unmount a file system because I suspect it has problems. But I can't unmount it because some phantom processes have open files for the past week
[00:41] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[00:41] <CannotTakeOwners> Perhaps its because  of virtualbox's dynamically expanding storage thingy
[00:41] <themoebius> ohsix: you're probably right about it being stuck in syscall. What can I do without restarting?
[00:41] <ShapeShifter499> CannotTakeOwners, can I have one tb or that? lolz
[00:41] <ShapeShifter499> *of that
[00:42] <ohsix> themoebius: umount with -f, or remount ro
[00:42] <ohsix> hope for the best
[00:42] <plut0> is there a way to see a 3tb drive on ubuntu 10.04? looks like i'm missing a kernel option, i can only see 2199gb. http://pastebin.com/M627WD5x
[00:42] <brightspark> delkin: sorry, out of ideas and need to go.  back later; if you're on i'll see you then
[00:42] <CannotTakeOwners> oh wonderful.  I dragged my window into the taskbar.  How do I get it out?
[00:43] <themoebius> ohsix: umount -f still says Device is busy :(
[00:43] <CannotTakeOwners> nvm, fixed it
[00:44] <steiner> what is the reason for my usb keyboard and mouse to randomly stop working, and then work when i plug them in again?
[00:44] <CannotTakeOwners> Ohsix, are you the only person helping here?  Sure seems like it :s
[00:44] <sirgad> Can someone tell me what would be required to set up a server that receives data over a secure tunnel (VPN) from devices attached through Public Wifi, and channels internet data on their behalf?
[00:45] <ohsix> i'm currently  not busy, that's about it
[00:45] <ohsix> sirgad: just installing the vpn server
[00:45] <cryptopsy> how can i sync an ftp server with a local directory?
[00:46] <BajK> hm, how can I make recordmydesktop record the sound, for example when playing a game and such? and also capture sound from my usb headset?
[00:46] <sirgad> @ohsix: no offence, but are you sure? I set up a vpn server on my Mac for this purpose, and it only allowed access to the remote network, not the www.
[00:46] <sirgad> There must be something else.
[00:47] <delkin> 2nd question: I have sony vaio vpcf1. I installed ubuntu 10.10. How do I change the brightness? How do i bind it to keys?
[00:48] <Maro__> Could anyone tell me where the Network Manager config files are? I'd like to copy some settings from one PC to another rather than have to re-enter them manually, but can't find anywhere referencing the network connection file location(s)...
[00:49]  * izinucs thinks irssi has got to have one of the worst man pages in existance..
[00:50] <onoez_omg> how it comes out that blacklisted nouveau module loads after reboot anyway?
[00:50]  * rww has deja-vu
[00:51] <histo> izinucs: why?
[00:51] <dasbootcapitan> Hi
[00:51] <histo> izinucs: there is /help in irssi
[00:52] <dasbootcapitan> How can i get the install itunes to ubuntu
[00:52] <ctmjr> !itunes | dasbootcapitan
[00:53] <izinucs> histo: /help has lots of commands.. I was just trying to figure out how to save a configuration with nick/password and open channels so the next time I start it up I don't have to manually enter anything.
[01:00] <histo> izinucs: you add channels so they autojoin. Try /help channel
[01:00] <histo> izinucs: i've got mine set to identify with nickserv and join the channels I frequent.
[01:01] <tripelb> izinucs, i'll help but I just came in and if I can help with your client. -- I'm like histo
[01:02] <histo> izinucs: trying to remember where I added nick password in irssi
[01:02] <tripelb> izinucs, What program are you using to connect to irc???
[01:02] <tripelb> what is your client means the same thing izinucs
[01:02] <histo> tripelb: he's using irssi
[01:02]  * tripelb bows out, grinning.
[01:03] <jiool> I notice that on all linux distros the caps lock response is too slow. I dont have this problem on windows.... is there anything that can be done about this?
[01:04] <izinucs> tripelb: irssi
[01:04] <sirgad> Hey. Can someone tell me what would be required to set up a server that receives data over a secure tunnel (VPN) from devices attached through Public Wifi, and channels internet data on their behalf?
[01:04] <nmaxchat> Question after switching from Windows to Linux. I understand Linux is safer. Do I or do I not need an anti virus ? A firewall ? Does one scan for viruses ever ?
[01:04] <nerdy_kid> any way to disable the underlined letters in Skypes menu?  (when you right click the tray icon)
[01:05] <arand> nmaxchat: In practice, linux is as safe, or safer, without a AV; than windows is with one. You may want to use one if you share files with unprotected windows machines though.
[01:05] <izinucs> nmaxchat: nope.. not really unless you need to make changes.. yes to help keep our friendly window users safe.. but I don't :)
[01:07] <arand> *desktop linux, rather, I guess
[01:07] <nmaxchat> arand, izinucs So when a bank says all their thing about having a firewall and an AV, what do I answer ?
[01:07] <dj> hello
[01:08] <nmaxchat> dj, hi
[01:08] <sirgad> mmaxchat: many banks will NOT cover you for internet fraud if you use internet banking but don't meet their security requirements, eg. supported browser and platform. Confirm with each bank before considering yourself covered.
[01:08] <Guest86512> i have install ubunto via virtualbox and i wont to use my wirless card as a wirless card onm ubunto
[01:08] <Guest86512> it is possible?
[01:09] <sirgad> mmaxchat: many do not cover linux users AT ALL, so dont be surprised.
[01:09] <Polah> Guest86512: Possibly. Knowing what card it is would help.
[01:09] <nmaxchat> sirgad, good advice thanks
[01:09] <Guest86512> intell 5100
[01:09] <arand> nmaxchat: Whereas again, some banks advice you to run a linux distro liveCD to make sure your banking safely.
[01:09] <Guest86512> on lap top
[01:09] <d_ed> Guest86512: if ubuntu is in virtualbox it doesn't need to know about the network card at all. Virtualbox will bridge it for you to a fake network card
[01:10] <d_ed> so ubuntu will think it's connected via a wired connection to the host computer
[01:10] <sirgad> @arand: not the ones I banked with, unfortunately. :/
[01:10] <Polah> Guest86512, http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=17045&lang=eng perhaps
[01:10] <nmaxchat> arand, " run a linux distro liveCD to make sure your banking safely" meaning ?
[01:10] <KM0201> now which version of xchat are you using?
[01:10] <zeroedout> I'm adding an hp printer and it gives me two options under model- hpijs and hpcups. Does anyone know the difference between hpijs and hpcups?
[01:10] <Polah> nmaxchat: Boot temporarily from a clean LiveCD/USB to do your banking.
[01:11] <nmaxchat> Polah, I guess I''l just ask my bank ehat they want so I am covered
[01:11] <arand> nmaxchat: Doing banking from a liveCD ensures that you always have a clean environment to start out with, regardless of what may be on your harddisk.
[01:11] <Guest86512> ok i will try to download the fw
[01:11] <nmaxchat> arand, Thanks
[01:11] <constl> I've been receiving "dpkg: error processing language-selector-comm" with every install from Ubuntu Software Center. Any hints?
[01:12] <sirgad> @nmaxchat: trying looking at UCK to modify your LiveCD and tailor it more to your needs.
[01:12] <nmaxchat> sirgad, will do Merci beaucoup
[01:13] <sirgad> lol de rien
[01:13] <gartral> hmm
[01:14] <sirgad> anyone recommend a Windows Server IRC channel?
[01:14] <sirgad> finding nothing in Google
[01:14] <chipmenk> i want to change the directory the pan newsreader uses for files it creates     how?
[01:14] <izinucs> sirgad: they've all migrated to linux
[01:14] <sirgad> lol
[01:14] <sirgad> but seriously
[01:14] <gartral_> sirgad: I say: when in Rome...
[01:15] <izinucs> sirgad: you could ask in ##windows
[01:15] <sirgad> will do, ta :)
[01:16] <Diamondcite> That will probably point you to ##windows-server
[01:16] <ndugan> I want to put in a simple keyboard macro... I notice that xbindkeys seems to do this (but isn't installed) is there a standard way to do this (i.e. some else that is installed)
[01:16] <sirgad> i asked in windows-sever, bit elitist and didn't like me using 2000/2003. gave me short shrift :/
[01:16] <Diamondcite> It's.. 7 years old..
[01:16] <sirgad> yeah but i can geta free license legit
[01:17] <izinucs> but still being used a lot
[01:17] <Diamondcite> That's like asking for help with Ubuntu.. before it had names...
[01:17] <izinucs> sirgad: are you learning it or using it for work or...?
[01:18] <Snappleseed> Hello everyone, here on my win 7 computer while I try to get my wireless adapter to work on my newly installed ubuntu. Apparently I'm using a broadcom chip, BCM4318 with a PCI-ID 14e4:4319, and I've got the b43-fwcutter tool for use on extraction of driver codes from windows XP drivers. But I don't know where to go from here, how to use it on the drivers, or where to find them for my chip.
[01:18] <sirgad> i'm just trying to set up a home server to as a secure proxy.
[01:18] <cryptopsy> why does ubuntu suck ?
[01:18] <Diamondcite> sirgad: It's off topic to your decision.. but this channel would probably gladly teach you how to do that in Linux ^_^
[01:18] <izinucs> sirgad: use linux
[01:18] <godzirra> Khisanth: So I was wrong... SSH didn't suddenly start working yesterday..  I can now ssh into my router when I connect to my domain name. :/
[01:19] <izinucs> !proxy | sirgad
[01:19] <Snappleseed> I have tried to follow the instructions on this page, and even read the FAQ, but it is too advanced for me mostly.

[01:19] <Snappleseed> http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#FAQ_-_Frequently_asked_questions
[01:19] <godzirra> When I turned off SSH management on the router, it suddenly stopped letting me connect.
[01:19] <sirgad> @ Snappleseed: it's actually to act as a sevrer to secure connections to the web from public wifi
[01:19] <Diamondcite> cryptopsy: To answer your question.. they suck because.. ... ... They are straying too far ahead of certain standards which makes them a little harder to work with for certain older apps?
[01:20] <ohsix> mmhmh
[01:20] <Snappleseed> sirgad: so how would i get my wireless adapter that's built into the laptop to work on ubuntu
[01:20] <Diamondcite> sirgad: I think I do that quite often.. I just use an SSH tunnel ^_^
[01:21] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: Please be more specific like what is your built in wifi?
[01:21] <austin> hey guys, i've been using ubuntu for about a week now after reinstalling, and I just can't get the game Global Agenda to run... would anyone be able to help me out?
[01:21] <Snappleseed> it's called a  Dell WLAN 1370 Mini-PCI, for a Dell Inspiron 1300.
[01:21] <godzirra> Khisanth: huh.  Nevermind.
[01:21] <alpha> I can connect to a remote computer using ssh. I would like to enable a remote desktop environment, how do I do that? Currently, when connecting using "remote desktop viewer", I only see a shell, no GUI
[01:21] <sirgad> sorry snapple, i replied to the wrong person :)
[01:22] <izinucs> Snappleseed: in terminal type .. sudo lspci .. and the output will typically have info on your wireless card.. it won't say dell however
[01:22] <sirgad> @Diamondcite: SSH tunnels can't be used in this fashio from an iPhone, though.
[01:23] <Diamondcite> sirgad: I see that can be an issue.. I have a netbook + 3G usb stick, no iphone =P
[01:24] <Snappleseed> izinucs: I it says for Nework Controller: Broadcom Corp. BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)
[01:24] <KM0201> trihope: test
[01:24] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: Do you see anywhere on the top that says additional drivers? It should be offering to 'Activate' a broadcom-sta driver...
[01:25] <GeO`> hey guys
[01:25] <sirgad> All I'm trying to do is: iPhone > Public WiFi > VPN > Home server > Interwebz.  How do I do that?
[01:25] <GeO`> Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[01:25] <GeO`> none                  7.9G  7.4G  473M  95% /dev
[01:25] <Snappleseed> No Diamondcite, I don't see anything like that.
[01:25] <GeO`> tho I can't find anything big in /dev, what's the matter ?
[01:25] <izinucs> Snappleseed: follow Diamondcite advice.. he's more conversant in wireless then me
[01:25] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: Have a look at System -> Administration -> Additional Drivers ??
[01:26] <MaRk-I> Snappleseed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Installing b43 drivers
[01:26] <Diamondcite> izinucs: Unfortunately I don't have a dell, this is just leftover knowledge =P
[01:27] <Snappleseed> Download package indexes failed, please check your network status. Most drivers will not be available. then the window says No Proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[01:27] <izinucs> Diamondcite: he listed the card to me in a line above.. it's not made by dell.  BCM4318
[01:27] <GeO`> someone can help me please ?
[01:27] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: Can you temporarily hook up to a wired connection?
[01:28] <Snappleseed> I can't, actually. I only have wireless taken from the library next door.
[01:28] <Diamondcite> izinucs: I only have Ath5k and Ath9k chips..
[01:28] <Snappleseed> I've been out of money for a fair bit now.
[01:28] <plut0> i fixed my 3tb drive issue, i needed a firmware update
[01:28] <ohsix> plut0: for the controller?
[01:28] <Diamondcite> Hrm...
[01:28] <izinucs> Diamondcite: and I'm brain dead when it comes to wireless that "just doesn't work"..
[01:28] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: So how are you ONLINE right now?
[01:29] <plut0> ohsix: actually it was a usb enclosure
[01:29] <ohsix> ah, nice
[01:29] <j_dulaney> Alright, I've got 10.10, using Fluxbox, and I keep having to unlock the keyring
[01:29] <Snappleseed> So how, other than hooking up to the internet, can I obtain the relevant firmware? Diamondcite: I'm online on my Windows 7 HP, on a seperate computer.
[01:29] <plut0> lucky me :)
[01:29] <ohsix> Snappleseed: get the debs you think you'll need then venture over to the dark side
[01:29] <Snappleseed> debs?
[01:30] <Diamondcite> Is the laptop in question and the connected one too different systems? Consider using a crossover network cable to share the connection?
[01:30] <Snappleseed> what dark side?
[01:30] <j_dulaney> It is most annoying when I click on the auto-remember on login option and it is ignored
[01:30] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: Okay I need more info.. 64 or 32bit for the ubuntu? Also which version?
[01:30] <Snappleseed> I'm not sure exactly how that would work, i've never done it before. An ethernet cable will do?
[01:30] <izinucs> Snappleseed: packages.ubuntu.com have all the programs in the repos.. you just need to know what package(s) you need, download to a usb stick and move it to the ubuntu computer
[01:30] <Snappleseed> 32bit ubuntu, 10.10 i think?
[01:31] <Snappleseed> I'm not sure how to figure out what package I would need.
[01:31] <MaRk-I> Snappleseed: the broadcom help page tells you how to install with no internet access
[01:31] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: Download this package? http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/broadcom-sta-common
[01:32] <j_dulaney> I guess no one is going to help me
[01:32] <j_dulaney> Fail
[01:32] <kuromaru> cok
[01:32] <kuromaru> blender.org :/
[01:33] <Diamondcite> j_dulaney: Annoying is a less important problem at the moment.. and the type of login isn't specified.
[01:33] <maco> j_dulaney: do your keyring password and login password match? and are you logging in by *actually typing your password* or autologin?
[01:33] <Guest18105> hi evry1!
[01:33] <Guest18105> i have question about 10.04 server. What kind of web GUI do you prefer? (now i use ispconfig for web server ) but i think it's too simple.
[01:33] <kuromaru> test
[01:33] <j_dulaney> maco:  Yes, and type in my password
[01:34] <kuromaru> hello world :O
[01:34] <maco> kuromaru: could you please skip to the part where you ask a tech support question?
[01:34] <izinucs> Guest18105: "web gui" and server ... hummm.. most linux servers don't have a gui.. and which type of server? web, print, ftp etc??
[01:34] <MaRk-I> Guest18105: might try #ubuntu-server
[01:35] <Guest18105> MaRK-i: thx i'll try
[01:35] <MaRk-I> Guest18105: yw
[01:35] <j_dulaney> maco:  What is the name of the keyring software, and where does it keep its options file?
[01:36] <maco> j_dulaney: seahorse
[01:36] <StuckMojo> hi. i've got a problem updating/installing language-selector-common: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
[01:36] <StuckMojo> where can i see the output of that script?
[01:36] <Snappleseed> Diamondcite: that website doesn't follow what I usually do to download files. How exactly would I download that using windows?
[01:36] <maco> j_dulaney: i dont know where its config is. i'd guess gconf
[01:36] <StuckMojo> i.e. how can i debug the issue?
[01:36] <j_dulaney> maco:  Righteo, thanks
[01:36] <izinucs> Snappleseed: right mouse click save as.. probably
[01:36] <Guest18105> iziuncs WEB gui. for faster work. U don't nead ssh or anything else just a browser
[01:37] <izinucs> Guest18105: to control what kind of server? apache?
[01:37] <Jonii2> So, one day, without me changing anything, grubs Timer to auto boot linux disappeared. Now i can't boot linux, it sends me straight to busybox after giving me this error: "mount: mounting /proc on /root/pro failed: No such file or directory."  Some other errors follow, but they look like they are based on this first one.
[01:37] <Jonii2> any ideas?
[01:37] <Snappleseed> also, using the ethernet as a common connection between computers doesn't seem to be working, Auto eth0 is the network that comes up, but it keeps failing to connect.
[01:37] <Guest18105> iziuncs: yes for apache
[01:37] <brightspark> StuckMojo: a bug was filed and a fix has been committed IIRC
[01:37] <gartral_> Snappleseed: you may need too make a crossover cable
[01:38] <microm> I need to install juniper network "ncsvc" program from a package called ncui, but I don't know where to find it
[01:38] <StuckMojo> brightspark: yeah i expected that, but I'm curious how to see the output
[01:38] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: Here are links and 2 dependencies, I  REALLY hope you have the rest. http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/all/broadcom-sta-common/download     http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/all/module-assistant/download     http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/all/quilt/download
[01:38] <StuckMojo> brightspark: besides digging around and running it by hand...isn't it logged somewhere?
[01:38] <StuckMojo> brightspark: this is more of a general question now about how dpkg works
[01:38] <izinucs> Guest18105: http://www.webmaster-forums.net/server-management/apache-gui-ubuntu
[01:38] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: Did you add/remove any physical drives?
[01:39] <Guest18105> thx i whatc theme
[01:39] <brightspark> StuckMojo: then your guess is as good as mine
[01:39] <StuckMojo> brightspark: ;)
[01:39] <j_dulaney> maco:  I'm getting all sorts of 'Error creating directory, permission denied' errors, so I'm going to try to find where it's trying to create a directory
[01:39] <nsd> Does anyone know how to change the behavior of empathy so that it doesn't snap the cursor to the window when I receive a message?
[01:39] <Jonii2> Diamondcite: No, that was my first reaction, but we haven't changed anything hardware wise, except i plugged in and xbox controller. Problem occurs with the controller in our out
[01:39] <Snappleseed> !ping FloodBot1
[01:39] <StuckMojo> brightspark: i remember i figured it out once way back when on debian sid, but i've long since forgotton
[01:40] <ohsix> gartral_: just about anything made in the last 10 years is auto switching
[01:40] <gartral_> ohsix: you'ed be surprised.
[01:41] <ohsix> i probably would
[01:41] <gartral_> i have 3 gigabyte boards, each has 2 nic ports, all of them are non-auto switching.
[01:41] <Chubcorp> Is there substitute for poulsbo? It doesn't seem to let me play video off of the HDD.
[01:41] <gartral_> they were bought last year
[01:41] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: Maybe you can boot a livecd/usb and see if any new /dev/sd* devices showed up?
[01:42] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: Another thing the liveCD offers the the ability to boot from the first drive.. assuming that can get past grub on the HD..
[01:42] <Jonii2> Diamondcite: how would i know if they are new? I have windows on here, but I don't remember what /dev/sd was on there before
[01:42] <Jonii2> Diamondcite: i can get past grub, its just ubuntu that won't work
[01:42] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: How many physical drives do you have?
[01:43] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: If it's busy box, then it's not past grub yet..
[01:43] <gartral_> Jonii2: and have you resized any partitions recently?
[01:43] <Jonii2> Diamondcite: 1 hard drive  1(maybe 2?) CD drives, 1 floppy
[01:43] <Jonii2> but i don't know if the floppy is in
[01:43] <ohsix> Diamondcite: if it's busybox it's still running the initramfs, but grub is done already
[01:43] <Jonii2> i haven't resized any partitions
[01:43] <witeshark>  so i have a question about elevated privileges from update manager: if the icon does not turn off in panel, the elevation is still present right?
[01:43] <Jonii2> yeah i get (initramfs)
[01:43] <Jonii2> and i can type stuff it
[01:43] <Jonii2> and grub boots to windows just fine
[01:44] <gartral_> Jonii2: sounds likr your drive that has Ubuntu on it is hosed.
[01:44] <Jonii2> gartral_: its the same drive that windows is on, just a different partition
[01:44] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: Did you do a kernel update recently?
[01:44] <ohsix> witeshark: you mean the key? it just means while its there additional prompts will automatically succeed
[01:44] <Snappleseed> Diamondcite: okay, downloaded and installed the driver, thanks a lot. now to just see if it works, should I re-boot or something?
[01:45] <ohsix> witeshark: which is usually desirable, but the icon is in the tray so you can click it and lock it up tight again immediately
[01:45] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: it's recommended to reboot yes.
[01:45] <Jonii2> Diamondcite: not that i know of, but maybe, i tried booting the old kernel with the grub menu though, it did the same thing
[01:45] <witeshark> ohsix, okay thanks
[01:46] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: If you can ever get it to boot fully. I might suggest re-installing one of the kernels? It feels like grub was interrupted..
[01:46] <Jonii2> Diamondcite: I can get it to boot fully only into windows
[01:46] <ohsix> or the initramfs id damaged
[01:46] <Jonii2> does that count?
[01:46] <ohsix> Jonii2: how big is your /boot partition? or is it part of/
[01:47] <Jonii2> all of ubuntu is on one partition, home, boot, and /
[01:47] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: Not really.. but I don't have enough time to go into great detail at the moment..
[01:47] <Jonii2> Diamondcite:  ok
[01:47] <j_dulaney> Ok, I'm thinking that part of the problem is that the coffee shop I'm at is constantly changing the wireless security code.
[01:49] <Jonii2> Diamondcite: so in other words my computer is dead and i get to reinstall everything again?
[01:50] <charlie> i am new to xubuntu
[01:50] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: Assuming you didn't get hurt by extremely room shortage.. a liveCD/USB can rescue any ubuntu system with the use of a 'chroot'. But I don't have time for this.
[01:50] <Jonii2> Diamondcite:
[01:50] <Jonii2> Diamondcite: ok i'll try that
[01:50] <bonny> how do i enable partner repository
[01:51] <Diamondcite> Jonii2: The basic idea is to chroot into the HDD and re-install a kernel to trigger grub again to see what happens
[01:51] <Snappleseed> Diamondcite: everything is working now. Thank you very much!
[01:51] <Diamondcite> Snappleseed: Great to hear it ^_^
[01:51] <Snappleseed> I've got to head off to bed now, thanks again. See you.
[01:52] <cryptopsy> how to sync two ftp severs?
[01:53] <bonny> how do i add sun-java to the repositories
[01:53] <izinucs> bonny: it's in the partner repo.. just enable that
[01:53] <Jordan_U> Jonii2: You should be able to get to the grub menu by holding shift during boot.
[01:53] <ohzie> cryptopsy: You could rsync
[01:54] <Jonii2> Jordan_U: I can get the grub menu, thats not an issue
[01:54] <ndugan> I am looking for a way to get a key (e.g. shift F1) to type out a sequence of characters (e.g. "This is some text") can this be done?
[01:55] <cryptopsy> ohzie: no you can't
[01:55] <Jordan_U> Jonii2: Ahh, I misunderstood your initial comment in the channel. Just so you know, the automatic timeout was disabled *because* it was detected that Ubuntu wasn't booting successfully.
[01:55] <cryptopsy> rsync is its own protocol
[01:55] <cryptopsy> ohzie: you don't know what you're talking about
[01:55] <Jordan_U> Jonii2: Have you tried booting an older kernel?
[01:55] <Jonii2> Jordan_U: ahh ok that makes more sense, but i'm still stuck :P
[01:56] <Jonii2> Jordan_U: yep, same thing
[01:56] <Jonii2> fail at (initramfs)
[01:56] <ohzie> cryptopsy: I use rsync to sync my ftp servers. :|
[01:56] <ohzie> cryptopsy: I don't use the FTP protocol to do it
[01:56] <ohzie> cryptopsy: you can install rsync on an ftp server and it still works
[01:56] <cryptopsy> that's because rsync is running on both servers
[01:57] <ohzie> cryptopsy: Right
[01:57] <cryptopsy> exactly, now put 2 and 2 together
[01:57] <ohzie> cryptopsy: I don't understand why you can't sync your servers with rsync
[01:58] <Jordan_U> Jonii2: What is the output of "cat /proc/partitions" from the initramfs shell?
[01:58] <ohzie> cryptopsy: I feel like you possibly misunderstood my suggestion.
[01:58] <cryptopsy> because not all ftp servers are running rsync daemon, ssh daemon
[01:58] <cryptopsy> no i didn't misunderstand, you're the one who's jumping to the nearest possible assumption because you don't know how to do it any other way
[01:58] <Jonii2> Jordan_U: I'll be back in 5 minutes with an answer :)
[01:59] <ohzie> cryptopsy: I was offering assistance. If my suggestion doesn't work for you, I'm sorry. Don't try to invalidate my help just because it doesn't apply to you. O_o
[02:00] <orugaman> hola a todos
[02:00] <orugaman> hi all
[02:00] <kurochan> hi
[02:00] <kurochan> ubunchuw :$
[02:01] <orugaman> i have a problem with my via thechnologies vga onboard drivers
[02:01] <orugaman> i download a driver from the web
[02:01] <izinucs> orugaman: you aint the only one.. most do
[02:01] <orugaman> but i dont know how install
[02:01] <aaron_wayne> ok, i have a network, is there a way to increase the speed of a download, or to dedicate a certain amount of bandwidth to a download?
[02:02] <aaron_wayne> network question*
[02:02] <cryptopsy> your help doesn't apply to anyone asking the question i asked
[02:02] <orugaman> izinucs, but i had the solution but i dont remember how install this driver
[02:02] <orugaman> cose i reinstall ubuntu
[02:02] <izinucs> aaron_wayne: priority for that type of thing is sometimes done in your router.. for large legal downloads sometimes torrents help alot
[02:03] <izinucs> orugaman: sorry I don't know
[02:03] <frybye> what to do when setting up new mail account in evoloution and need to give it the password right there on settin up - (otherwise it freezes on trying to access the new account before I get the window asking for the pw.?)
[02:03] <Jonii2> Hey i'm back Jordan_U
[02:03] <bonny> does ubuntu server support lubuntu because i asked a question in lubuntu and its been 6 hours an d no one has answer :|
[02:03] <orugaman> if i show u the file
[02:03] <orugaman> can u explain me how install it?
[02:03] <orugaman> im new in linux
[02:03] <kurochan> hmm... usb_modeswitch didn't work well
[02:03] <Jonii2> Jordan_U: it gave me a table, no errors, do you want me to type out the table?
[02:03] <orugaman> the other time i found a tutorial but now
[02:04] <orugaman> i cant find
[02:04] <aaron_wayne> izinucs, well, i am trying to download frostwire, and normally my rate is up around 700-800kb or so, i am pulling excellent speed on the downside right now, 6m, but trying to download that my rate is like under 10k, i dont know whats up, its taking for ever to download a 6.3mb file
[02:04] <orugaman> this is the file
[02:04] <orugaman> http://linux.via.com.tw/support/beginDownload.action?eleid=501&fid=801
[02:04] <IKSSE> is there anyone experienced with ubuntu 10.10 on the thinkpad T43? if so can you query me for a few questions
[02:04] <orugaman> for a cn896+vt8251 plataform
[02:05] <Jordan_U> Jonii2: Just the last column, and a picture works as well. Basically I'm wondering if your root filesystem's partition is being detected at all. The next step would be to try to mount it from the initramfs shell.
[02:05] <izinucs> aaron_wayne: has to do with the servers you're connected to.. why frostwire? you have a torrent app built in that's pretty good
[02:05] <Jonii2> sda
[02:05] <Jonii2> oops
[02:05] <orugaman> anybody can helpme?
[02:05] <orugaman> please?
[02:05] <Jonii2> sda, sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4, sda5
[02:06] <Jordan_U> !helpme | orugaman
[02:06] <aaron_wayne> izinucs, not very familiar with it, do u recommend what comes installed or is there a better one out there?
[02:06] <Jonii2> thats the last column
[02:06] <izinucs> aaron_wayne: you on unity?
[02:06] <Jordan_U> Jonii2: Do you know off hand which of those would be your root filesystem?
[02:06] <orugaman> im doing that
[02:06] <aaron_wayne> izinucs, nope maverick, but still running gnome
[02:06] <orugaman> how install via technologies vga drivers?
[02:07] <orugaman> i have the file downloaded alrready
[02:07] <izinucs> aaron_wayne: transmission is the default torrent program that's installed.. I've never really had an issue with it.
[02:07] <Jonii2> er, uh, no.  I believe windows and windows recovery are the first to though
[02:08] <aaron_wayne> izinucs, k, i will check that out, any other idea with the download issue, while that is my current problem, i have run into it before and never really understood why i have a 6m downstream but cant actually download at that, you say it should be setting in router?
[02:08] <ubboneb> Hi all! Just installed Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Remix on my PackardBell DOTS2 netbook: everything work fine! :D Just wanted to know 2 things: A) why Unity DE is slow and default GNOME runs more smoothly?; B) I'd like to have a launcher on Unity dock from where I can click on it and mount my windows partition (*not auotomount at boot*, but I want to click on it, insert my pwd and then get the partition mounted on my choosen path: /home/MY_U
[02:09] <MaRk-I> orugaman: unpack the file then in terminal go to the "utilities" folder and type ./install  it will ask you if you're using ubuntu 10.10 select it
[02:09] <izinucs> aaron_wayne: you could be choked by your isp.. lots of them don't like torrents
[02:09] <orugaman> i want to learn how install a drivers downloaded for  a via thechnologies vga onboard
[02:10] <aaron_wayne> izinucs, well, this isnt a torrent, just a regular old download through a browser
[02:10] <orugaman> thanks mark

[02:10] <izinucs> aaron_wayne: then it's server related.. maybe someone else on your LAN is playing xbox, streaming video,music etc ??
[02:11] <orugaman> i try and come to tell if this work
[02:11] <aaron_wayne> izinucs, nah, cant be that, no one else on here but me, and i ran speedtest, shouldnt be any traffic issues, stats look real good, low ping times and pullin about 6m down

[02:38] <Kimmag> Is it normal that "Running after-installation menu" (95%) takes long time during install ?
[02:38] <ohsix> ubboneb: you can change the volume name if you want to change the mount point
[02:39] <ohsix> ubboneb: oh, nevermind; you said out of /media

[02:39] <L4nce0> hey all, so I'm trying to run a make file, and just parse out the errors. I'm trying make all | grep 'error' and it's just printing all
[02:40] <ohsix> ubboneb: you can do what you want but nothing is going to make it as nice as the stuff that labels and puts it in /media
[02:40] <van7hu> hello, is there a case when I do dhclient, I receive a DHPACK from an IP that I could not ping to it?
[02:40] <Kimmag> HOw long does " running post-installation trigger menu " last?
[02:41] <ubboneb> ohsix: no problems; what I want is a launcher in Unity tha can me mount the partition with pwd request
[02:41] <ohsix> if you can find out how to add a launcher; gksudo mount ... should suffice
[02:42] <ohsix> the password doesn't really serve any purpose, you can make the mount point mountable by users
[02:42] <ubboneb> ohsix: can't find the way to add a launcher to unity! :p
[02:43] <ubboneb> and I *need* pwd request to mount 'cause i want a *safe* mounting
[02:43] <ohsix> i don't know what an unsafe mounting is and why the password gets you a safe mounting

[02:55] <ksbalaji> I've a text file with extn .pmd to view. OO cannot open it. Guide please
[02:55] <rumpe1> ksbalaji, sure it's a text file? whats the error message?
[02:56] <ksbalaji> rumpe1, unable to open
[02:57] <ksbalaji> I also used document viewer. same result
[02:57] <rumpe1> ksbalaji, well... there could be a number of reasons for "unable to open"... e.g. permissions
[02:57] <izinucs> ksbalaji: what was the doc made with?
[02:58] <ksbalaji> rumpe1, This file, I think is made with page maker?
[02:59] <rumpe1> ksbalaji, don't know pagemaker, but again: sure, it's a textfile?
[02:59] <ksbalaji> izinucs, The sender told it should be pagemaker.
[02:59] <izinucs> ksbalaji: if it's made with page maker then it's not a text file.. perhaps scribus or inkscape can import it.
[02:59] <ksbalaji> rumpe1, The sender told it contains document.
[03:00] <rumpe1> ksbalaji, a textfile is a file, which only contains text
[03:00] <ksbalaji> izinucs, I tried scribus. It could not open. It is not corrupted. I shall try with inskscape.
[03:00] <GeekMan> im building a program and i get this message when i run cmake ........................       CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:894 (message): Unable to find the requested Boost libraries. any ideas
[03:01] <ksbalaji> rumpe1, Sorry. I mean - a document file.
[03:01] <freezway> GeekMan, u need the boost libs
[03:01] <GeekMan> :(
[03:01] <izinucs> ksbalaji: the other option is to have your friend xport it from page maker in postscript or .eps .. that is if he created it... those file types will import into scribus
[03:01] <freezway> look in synaptic for boost libraries
[03:02] <irule> how many gigabytes are transfered by dd from hard drive to hard drive? both are 5400 something
[03:02] <GeekMan> how do i get them? freezway
[03:02] <Jordan_U> irule: It depends on what options you passed to dd.
[03:02] <GeekMan> oh ...
[03:02] <freezway> GeekMan, uh, im on arch, i dont have pat on this comp, but open synaptic and look for lib-boost or something like that
[03:02] <freezway> systems > administration > synaptic i think
[03:02] <GeekMan> k
[03:02] <GeekMan> yeah yeah
[03:02] <GeekMan> :)
[03:03] <irule> Jordan_U no options, just if and of
[03:03] <Auriga> freezway, Are you proficient in Arch?
[03:04] <Jordan_U> irule: if and of are options :)
[03:04] <freezway> Auriga, meh, proficient enough to use it
[03:04] <irule> dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdb
[03:04] <ksbalaji> izinucs, unfortunately, my friend did not create this .pmd file and cannot convert it.
[03:04] <Auriga> freezway, Lol, I know that feeling, which WM are you using?
[03:04] <Jordan_U> irule: That will copy as many GiB as the smaller of the two drives. dd is a bit for bit copy.
[03:04] <freezway> Auriga, xfce
[03:05] <gartral_> irule: dd is short for "Data Dump" btw
[03:05] <ksbalaji> izinucs, rumpe1 is there an application to view .pmd files?
[03:05] <irule> Jordan_U yes I know that, but I am copying a 15 GB partition and did not specify the partition number so now I have to guess the time it takes for the whole partition to go through3
[03:05] <kassius> irssi is really fun 8)
[03:06] <irule> and not wait for the 80 gigs to be over haha
[03:06] <GeekMan> i think it might work now thanks
[03:06] <Auriga> freezway, That was a simple install? Any time I try to install anything other Gnome, on it's own. I run into problems.
[03:06] <kassius> Anyone know if it is possible to use widescreen at real console?
[03:06] <kassius> knows*
[03:06] <Auriga> know**
[03:06] <Auriga> lol
[03:07] <freezway> Auriga, yeah. pretty simple, just follow the wiki for it
[03:07] <ksbalaji> izinucs, rumpe1 inkskape also cannot view this file.
[03:07] <ayrton> hey guys whats the newest intel driver version?
[03:07] <freezway> kassien, you have nvidia/ati right?
[03:07] <Auriga> freezway, Yeah the documentation is awesome, though I still run into issues. lol.
[03:07] <freezway> ayrton, whatevers in 2.6.38
[03:07] <kassius> nvidia
[03:07] <freezway> thats what #archlinux is for Auriga
[03:08] <Jordan_U> irule: Please explain in detail your situation and your end goal. The command you gave will read bits from /dev/sda and write then to /dev/sdb untill it runs out of bits to read from or write to.
[03:08] <GeekMan> nope
[03:08] <freezway> kassien, there is, but its extremely complex and annoying, i'd avoid it.
[03:08] <Corren> if I was running 5-10 simultaneous vms for virtualizing my production environment, what kind of hardware would you think is reasonable?
[03:08] <ayrton> freezway i successfully installed kernel <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:08] <qisr> hi
[03:08] <Corren> for functional, not perf testing
[03:08] <ayrton> so im using a different driver?
[03:08] <freezway> ayrton, congrats, you have the lastest driver
[03:08] <ksbalaji> Is there a reader for pagemaker pmd extn files in ubuntu please?
[03:09] <kassius> freezway, do you know any site that explains how to it?
[03:09] <ayrton> freezway i tried glxgears before update and after but there the same
[03:09] <kassius> do*

[03:09] <freezway> kassien, uh, the archwiki has an article on it, you'd have to do things differently on ubuntu, but you could give it a shot. lemme grab the link
[03:09] <irule> Jordan_U ok, 2 drives, a 80 sda w 15gb part, and a new 160 drive w 15gb part, both 1, then I did "dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdab" with no part numbers! so now I am trying to guess when 15 gb are done hehe
[03:10] <kassius> oh ok
[03:11] <ayrton> freezway, so updating to the newest driver didnt help. im trying to get a game native to linux to play
[03:12] <ayrton> i think i should check if the driver supports opengl, i gotta google the terminal command for it i think
[03:12] <trism> GeekMan: you could try libboost-all-dev if you don't want to track them all down one by one, what are you building? if it is something that has a version in the repo you can: sudo apt-get build-dep package_name; to get most of what you are likely to need
[03:12] <IKSSE> im running 10.10 on a thinkpad T43 with integrated Intel gfx and cant seem to get more than 5FPS playing games with java. Any info on enabling 3D acceleration or anything else that would help?
[03:13] <GeekMan> im building light spark lightspark
[03:13] <Jordan_U> irule: pkill -SIGUSR1 dd
[03:14] <izinucs> IKSSE: pull the intel card out and put in an nvidia .. ebay is a great source
[03:14] <Jordan_U> irule: That should print how much dd has copied so far. Though this is an odd way to go about copying a partition.
[03:14] <linuskevin> irc://irc.freenode.net/php
[03:14] <irule> Jordan_U that is not the problem, I just want to know how many gigabytes are transfered in a minute or any other factor to measure trnasfer status
[03:14] <freezway> kassien, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Uvesafb
[03:15] <irule> this pkill command will not kill the process? Ive used that  to logout gnome users haha
[03:15] <Jordan_U> irule: That information will be printed as well.
[03:15] <ksbalaji> izinucs, rumpe1 thanks for trying - I've to quit. bye!
[03:15] <Saeth> I have a quick question, is there a limit on how many files you can ¨cat¨ at one time?
[03:15] <freezway> ayrton, give me lspci
[03:15] <kassius> freezway thank you very much
[03:15] <freezway> kassien, be warned
[03:15] <freezway> it could FUBAR ur system if ur not careful
[03:16] <zooka> Hey a quick question for anyone who's familiar with rsync. I'm writing a script for backups, but due to the roundabout way my drive is connected, I have to use "sudo rsync -av ....etc". Now I know that '-a' retains permissions, but what I'm concerned about is using sudo with it. Will using sudo change the permissions of the files I'm backing up to being owned by root? Or will they still be owned by my non-root user? Thank you in advance.
[03:16] <katsrc> hey, is ubuntu-minimal a dependency for Kubuntu desktop?
[03:16] <IKSSE> Izinucs: so its basically just a hardware issue moreso than a software or config issue?
[03:16] <Saeth> freezway, depending on how much ram you have ?
[03:16] <freezway> Saeth, what?
[03:17] <Jordan_U> irule: No. Kill and pkill both send signals to processes, the most common being SIGTERM and SIGKILL, but SIGUSR1 does not terminate a process.
[03:17] <Saeth> freezway, sorry thought you were answering the question I asked.
[03:17] <ayrton> freezway here : http://pastebin.com/qMPGYFsD
[03:17] <freezway> Saeth, no
[03:17] <freezway> ayrton, looks fine... hmmm
[03:18] <freezway> Saeth, what be ur issue
[03:18] <ayrton> yeah and iv seen vids of the game running great on my chipset
[03:18] <Saeth> freezway, just wondeing if there is a limit on how files you can ¨cat¨ at one time? all the examples if have seen are cat file 1 file 2 but ive never seen anything longer then that.
[03:18] <freezway> ayrton, its not sandy bridge is it?
[03:19] <ayrton> no amnesia the dark descent
[03:19] <freezway> Saeth, i think 2, but idk. try #bash or something
[03:19] <freezway> ayrton, i was refering to ur cpu
[03:19] <Saeth> freezway, alright thanks for the help and advice.
[03:19] <ayrton> oh
[03:20] <ayrton> what does sandy bridges mean then?
[03:20] <ayrton> my intel card is a gma 4500m
[03:20] <freezway> ayrton, the newest intel cpus (i7, i5, i3)
[03:20] <freezway> oh ok
[03:20] <freezway> thats fine
[03:20] <ayrton> yeah
[03:20] <freezway> should work better
[03:20] <izinucs> IKSSE: i'd say so.. I've got a t42.. depending on the game it's pretty slow
[03:21] <ayrton> freezway game installs fine and runs fine but when its time for gameplay it crashes.. so i think it was driver related
[03:21] <Jordan_U> Saeth: The only limit is the limit imposed by the kernel on the number of arguments that can be passed to a process.
[03:22] <IKSSE> izinucs: apparently minecraft takes its toll on the integrated card. cant seem to find an nvidia card for the T43 on ebay either  =/
[03:22] <freezway> ayrton, oh it crashes? is it under wine
[03:22] <ayrton> no native to linux
[03:23] <freezway> nice! um... idk. sorry
[03:23] <Saeth> Jordan_U, alright, so I should be fine with 3 files. Thank you.
[03:23] <linuxmonkey> Sup everyone
[03:23] <Jordan_U> Saeth: Yes. You're welcome.

[03:27] <freezway> uhhh
[03:27] <freezway> look for somehting else 1 sec
[03:28] <wcchandler> Not even a 3.166 Ghz processor with 2 nVidia Quadro FX 570s can play 1080p without hesitation :(
[03:28] <IKSSE> izinucs: found this while googling; It is not possible to add a new video card to the ThinkPad T43 because of the fact that it ships with onboard video, meaning that the video card is on the motherboard.
[03:29] <trism> GeekMan: the natty package lists the following build deps: nasm llvm-2.7-dev llvm-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev zlib1g-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libpcre3-dev libavutil-dev libftgl-dev libx11-dev libglu1-mesa-dev fontconfig libglew-dev libpulse-dev libavcodec-dev libgtk2.0-dev libnspr4-dev xulrunner-dev libsdl-dev libxml++2.6-dev gnash-common
[03:29] <raido> wcchandler: ??? there are no HDTV that even com close to tht power
[03:29] <trism> GeekMan: try installing those (that's besides cmake and the boost deps)
[03:29] <freezway> ayrton, idk
[03:30] <raido> wcchandler: I have a AMD Zacate that does it fine
[03:30] <ayrton> i downloaded that driver now i need to install it
[03:30] <ayrton> its a .tar.gz file
[03:30] <shang> anyone knows what is the default Ubuntu remote desktop server?
[03:30] <wcchandler> Do you get lines in the middle from it refreshing half the screen at a time?
[03:30] <wcchandler> raido: ^
[03:30] <raido> wcchandler: no
[03:30] <wcchandler> I hate you :(  /*sarcasm/*
[03:31] <wcchandler> What's your refresh rate?  I can only get mine to operate at 59hz
[03:32] <raido> wcchandler: maybe you have a driver issue.
[03:32] <trism> shang: vino
[03:32] <wcchandler> I was using the default restricted that Ubuntu suggested.
[03:32] <wcchandler> Using the beta of whatever's coming out
[03:33] <raido> Im at 60 hz
[03:34] <raido> wcchandler: I dont know what is causing you issue but its not lack of processing power
[03:34] <wcchandler> Hmm... are you using multi-cores/multi-threaded?
[03:35] <ayrton> freezway u wouldnt know how to install this intel deriver i just downloaded would u
[03:35] <wcchandler> I tried in VLC and Mplayer/SMplayer
[03:35] <ayrton> driver
[03:35] <raido> wcchandler: are you watching it at 1080 or are you pushing it up?
[03:35] <wcchandler> You mean the video resolution?
[03:35] <raido> yes
[03:35] <wcchandler> Good question
[03:36] <raido> wcchandler: i.e. areyou watching a 1080 source at 1900
[03:36] <wcchandler> Oh man..  It's only 720p...  so ermm..  And TV is set for 1080p
[03:37] <wcchandler> Then in theory, it playing in a window, no upscaling, no "tearing"
[03:37] <freaky[t]> anyone can help me with the alternate installer? i want to resize a partition. i did that but now there is a new unused partition but when i try to use it it only tells me that i can view where it starts and where it stops ... y is that i want to use it for ubuntu?
[03:38] <wcchandler> raido: Thanks :)
[03:38] <raido> wcchandler: :-)
[03:39] <ayrton> can any 1 tell me how to install this driver i downloaded a xf86-video-intel-s.13.0.tar.gz file and i need to install it
[03:40] <linuxmonkey> I have a hardware raid (NTFS) yeah i know..anyways i need access to it and i'm not seing it anywere. any ideas
[03:40] <wcchandler> ayrton: tar -xvzf xf86-video-intel-s.13.0.tar.gz
[03:40] <ayrton> terminal command?
[03:40] <wcchandler> That will extract the package contents and give you a readme file.
[03:40] <wcchandler> Yes, in the same directory as the package
[03:40] <wcchandler> Or right click > Extract Here...
[03:41] <ayrton> yeah i got that -_- what do i do with the file now
[03:42] <wcchandler> Could be a bunch of different things.  Should say in the readme.  :(  Sorry it really depends on the packager
[03:42] <Hack3r0932> Hello(:
[03:42] <Hack3r0932> could anyone tell me how to use voIP?
[03:42] <folivora> o0
[03:43] <wcchandler> Main commands you're looking for are ./configure, make, make install
[03:43] <folivora> I assume that you mean Voice over IP?
[03:43] <tiox> Popping in real fast to share a recent discovery of mine.
[03:43] <Hack3r0932> Yea
[03:43] <ayrton> wcchandler read the readme all it says is that its a 2d driver and doesnt say how to install
[03:43] <tiox> For some odd reason, keeping secondary right click (hold left) on messes with KDE oxygen cursors in Ubuntu.
[03:43] <Hack3r0932> FUCK THE WORLD
[03:43] <tiox> Least on mymachine anyway/
[03:44] <tiox> Puh-leeze.
[03:44] <wcchandler> what's the list of directories and files?
[03:44] <tiox> What now?
[03:44] <tiox> What exactly are you trying to access?
[03:45] <tiox> If you're just looking to access available drives on your machine, then go to Places > Computer
[03:45] <tiox> From there, go to File System.
[03:45] <tiox> Or, up-up-up your way to the directory where /bin, /usr, /etc are, etc.
[03:45] <tiox> (Rather, use the breadcrumbs, lol

[03:50] <Jygen> what are some fun things to play around with
[03:50] <danial> Jygen,  ubuntu is new to you
[03:51] <Xylch> I am trying to get some data off of a nearly dead windows hard drive. I have it connected to my ubuntu machine as a slave, but with it connected ubuntu won't load, it goes to a shell prompt called 'ash', any suggestions?
[03:51] <Jordan_U> Jygen: Open Applications > Ubuntu Software Center and look around.
[03:51] <danial> Jygen,  you can play around with a bouncy ball... have you got one?
[03:51] <Jygen> i dont have one
[03:51] <Jygen> =/
[03:51] <Jygen> ive been throught the software center
[03:51] <danial> Jygen,  ok so log out, why are you sitting by a computer, just go outside and by yourself a bouncy ball!
[03:52] <Jygen> im trying to familiarize myself with the terminal
[03:52] <Jygen> my goal is to be able to use gentoo by the end of this year
[03:52] <danial> Jygen, sounds like a good plan!
[03:52] <Jygen> but im starting off with ubuntu because its noob friendly
[03:53] <microm> how do I get a 32-bit java?
[03:54] <Tyrone> need help please any one knows what package of ubuntu that can cache video?
[03:54] <danial> Jygen, you should try Fedora in a month or so
[03:54] <danial> Jygen, then try openSUSE
[03:55] <Tyrone> like youtube cache
[03:55] <ctmjr> !java | microm
[03:56] <microm> Jygen: go for linux mint, it is by far the easiest; or jump right into gentoo and follow the handbook
[03:56] <sarthor> Hi, i am setting vpn server on ubuntu machine, i am not able to connect the  client xp and ubuntu both to the server, logs are here, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/596358/ ,I followed this  http://www.ewdisonthen.com/how-to-setup-pptp-vpn-server-on-linux-tutorial-07577.php how to
[03:57] <Jygen> microm: i was going to jump right into gentoo, but im waiting until i get a new labtop. I plan on running it on there.
[03:57] <tamara__> should install the new version 11.04 on ubuntu 10.10?
[03:58] <devino21> had to run the upgrade in order to get 11.04 beta on a Lenovo T61
[03:58] <devino21> it worked!
[03:58] <connor_> Hi, could someone help me install the "XMatrix" Screensaver in xubuntu 10.10? Thank you :)
[04:00] <pfifo> anyone else having trouble with SD cards/readers?
[04:01] <microm> Jygen: I heard pardus linux is also quite easy
[04:01] <tripelb> FYI a no I havent pfifo what's your version of ubuntu? what else do you have plugged in. -- You can check and see what UBUNTU thinks you have plugged in with lsusb
[04:01] <Jordan_U> connor_: install xscreensaver-data-extra
[04:01] <tripelb> that's LSUSB in lowercase
[04:01] <Jygen> i like the feel of ubuntu though
[04:01] <Jygen> thats kind of why i started with it
[04:01] <connor_> Jardan_U: Thank you, I'll try that
[04:01] <microm> Jygen: oh, I though you had nothing installed. okay then. you're doing fine.
[04:01] <Jordan_U> connor_: You're welcome.
[04:02] <Jygen> i have ubuntu 11.04 installed
[04:02] <Jygen> i tried 10.04 back when it was first released but it wouldnt detect my graphics driver
[04:02] <Jygen> so i went back to windows
[04:03] <Jygen> and i decided to give it another shot so i installed 11.04 yesterday
[04:03] <connor_> Jordan_U: Thank you, it worked :)
[04:03] <Jygen> thats why i asked if there was anything i could try playing around with in ubuntu for fun
[04:04] <pfifo> tripelb, Both on 8.04 and 10.10 with a bag full of card about %10 work on my computer while all of them are fine with any of 3 cameras/1 wii/2 mp3 players
[04:04] <Jordan_U> connor_: You're welcome :)
[04:05] <shawnguo> Hello everyone
[04:05] <shawnguo> I need a support here
[04:05] <oliveira_> boa noite a todos
[04:05] <tripelb> pfifo, I am listening. what is a bag gul of card? etc. lets get simple. so some cards work on your computer and some dont, right
[04:06] <shawnguo> when I upgrade my maverick server to natty beta, I found dante-client is missing
[04:06] <tripelb> shawnguo-- you cant hook someone in for you. You must just blurt it out and see who can answer. make sure you tell your setup, program etc..
[04:06] <pfifo> tripelb, I have 6 cards at my disposal and 1 of them actually works.
[04:07] <tripelb> shawnguo, now I see I know nothing about your proglem.
[04:07] <shawnguo> and I got dante-client : Depends: libdsocksd0 (= 1.1.19.dfsg-3ubuntu4) but it is not going to be installed
[04:08] <tripelb> ok pfifo, it seems like your computer works. maybe the cards done. when you put a card in and then go lsusb it will tell you what it sees in the USB slots. -- Do the cards work in other different devices?
[04:08] <ctmjr> shawnguo, you should ask in #ubuntu+1
[04:08] <tripelb> pfifo, correction.  done should be don't
[04:08] <shawnguo> ctmjr: ok, thanks
[04:09] <pfifo> tripelb, card is working, works fine with the camera/wii/mp3
[04:09] <tripelb> pfifo, oh.
[04:10] <tripelb> and when you put it in pfifo the lsusb shows nothing?   Is it plugged in? Might try cleaning the contacts. Could be your card reader is fussy.
[04:10] <Dracofodder> looks like I'm getting the same issue as in Bug #766534... where would I get the update described?  there is a note about it being in the "security repository" but I don't know where that is
[04:11] <pfifo> tripelb, it shows my card reader in lsusb, no actual change
[04:11] <tripelb> could also try reformatting it pfifo
[04:11] <van7hu> hello, what is the name of ipfwadm in lucid?
[04:11] <tripelb> pfifo it shows in the card reader but not on the desktop. Is that right?
[04:11] <tamara__> should install the new version 11.04 on ubuntu 10.10?
[04:11] <pfifo> tripelb, reformatted with working camera to fat16
[04:11] <pfifo> tripelb, no
[04:12] <pfifo> tripelb, on lsusb, it has my reader listed, there is not an addidtional entry for the card however
[04:12] <tripelb> oh
[04:13] <tripelb> pfifo, I'm thinking. are any of the cards that get recognized FAT16?
[04:13] <tamara__> should install the new version 11.04 on ubuntu 10.10?
[04:13] <Logan_> !natty | tamara__
[04:14] <spark666> better wait till the official release
[04:14] <zinadork> Does anyone know if Natty will support Synaptics Clickpads?
[04:14] <Logan_> !natty | zinadork
[04:15] <tamara__> ohh ok
[04:15] <tamara__> thanks
[04:15] <spark666> yw
[04:15] <spark666> u like the new unity interface
[04:15] <spark666> ?
[04:15] <spark666> :)
[04:15] <zinadork> I'm aware of that, but Maverick didn't support Clickpads and it was  major problem
[04:15] <tamara__> but u can upgrade the version
[04:15] <pfifo> tripelb, yes, i  have 1 card that works in both machines that is formatted fat16 with my digital camera.
[04:15] <Jygen> tamara_: If you upgrade it now it shouldnt cause u any problems.
[04:16] <spark666> yes but there are some bugs
[04:16] <Jygen> tamara_: Im using 11.04 and i dont have any issues with it
[04:16] <spark666> no crushes
[04:16] <spark666> ?
[04:17] <Jygen> none
[04:17] <spark666> hmmm
[04:17] <Jygen> runs smooth for me
[04:17] <Jygen> i did a fresh install with it though
[04:17] <Jygen> i didnt upgrade it
[04:17] <spark666> yes
[04:17] <spark666> ive did it to
[04:17] <greensimian> Hey so what is the command to report how much physical memory is installed in my puter?
[04:17] <Jygen> you had crashes?
[04:17] <spark666> but now i returned to 10.10
[04:18] <spark666> yes i had
[04:18] <spark666> specialy compiz
[04:18] <spark666> ;)
[04:18] <Jygen> well then
[04:18] <Jygen> hmm
[04:18] <Jygen> idk
[04:18] <Jygen> i dont seem to have a problem with ti
[04:18] <spark666> i wait till the final release
[04:18] <spark666> but by the way
[04:19] <spark666> whats ur opinion about unity
[04:19] <spark666> ?
[04:19] <Jygen> i like it
[04:19] <Logan_> !poll | spark666
[04:19] <ultrixx> unity is great
[04:20] <spark666> sorry didnt know it
[04:20] <pfifo> tripelb, I was just able to get a 2nd card to work
[04:20] <devino21> I like that you can snap 1/2 windows in the middle of dual monitor systems!
[04:21] <van7hu> hello, is there ipfwadm package in lucid lynx?
[04:21] <ctmjr> Jygen you should not give that advice unless you are prepared to fix any issues they might have6
[04:22] <pfifo> tripelb, I was charging my phone via USB, it was taking too much power and hence the cards were not working
[04:22] <LAcan> ctmjr, youre asking a lot for free tech support, buddy
[04:26] <codex84> i have virtual machine with windows 7 on it and vnc server install on it
[04:26] <codex84> cant connect to it by useing remote desktop viewer on ubuntu
[04:27] <codex84> i went to the router to port foward but is only 192.x.x.x.x
[04:28] <codex84> and the ip address on the virtual machine and the vnc server is 10.x.x.x
[04:28] <Dcite> codex84: How is it setup? bridged or NAT?
[04:29] <codex84> it gave a error sayin u behind a nat
[04:29] <codex84> or a router
[04:29] <Dcite> By default virtualbox shares the network in NAT mode
[04:29] <I-are-> does anyone know how to fix this error?  http://pastebin.com/bFAgyJf4
[04:30] <Dcite> codex84: I suggest trying to put your VM into bridged mode in order to make connections easier
[04:30] <codex84> alright i try
[04:30] <codex84> that
[04:30] <I-are-> codex84, to get through nat you will either need bridge mode or a vpn
[04:31] <I-are-> bridge mode is easiest.
[04:31] <pfifo> I-are-, what made that message?
[04:31] <I-are-> pfifo, trying to run QQ international from command line.
[04:32] <codex84> whats the difference
[04:32] <I-are-> pfifo, ./qq: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by ./qq)
[04:32] <codex84> between nat and briged?
[04:32] <pfifo> I-are-, they are using a different version of glibc++
[04:32] <pfifo> I-are-, compiled aginst rather
[04:33] <itilious> why would an ssh portforward be working for port 80, and others, but not VNC ports?
[04:33] <I-are-> codex84, bridged uses a tap adapter, at least in windows, which is a virtual nic that is routed through your os rather than a nat
[04:33] <Dcite> codex84: NAT, it uses a VirtualBox network adapter to share you connection, no additional config outside the system is needed to use the same line..  Bridged mode, treats it like it has its very own network card, even though in reality it is sharing your only card.
[04:33] <pfifo> I-are-, compile it from scratch
[04:33] <I-are-> pfifo, not opensource
[04:33] <itilious> i get "chanel 3 open failed" and more this ring a bell for anyone?
[04:34] <pfifo> I-are-, ask them to release a 8.04+ deb package
[04:34] <Dcite> itilious: That message comes up frequently for me, doesn't seem important
[04:34] <codex84> i see
[04:34] <codex84> i got it now thanks alot man
[04:35] <codex84> appreicate it
[04:35] <revilodraw> sorry, i know this is offtopic, but i need a genius nerd to tell me, how different are these processors? http://ark.intel.com/Compare.aspx?ids=36697,42779, which is best, and by how much?
[04:35] <itilious> Dcite, are you still able to connect your vnc viewer thru the ssh forwarded port? which port?
[04:35] <quuxman> Having trouble starting X
[04:35] <I-are-> codex84 you get it.  Virtual nic on host system is bridged, virtual nic nated through a virtual router in vBox is NAT
[04:35] <quuxman> not sure what I did that broke it, but I can't boot unless in rescue mode, and if I try to start X from rescue mode I get a blank screen, but not crashed because power button still works
[04:36] <codex84> right the ip change on the server
[04:36] <quuxman> I have the gma500 poulsbo chipset :-/
[04:36] <codex84> i was on the nat
[04:36] <codex84> lol
[04:36] <Dcite> itilious: Don't you usually need a socks proxy setup in order to pass things through it?
[04:36] <I-are-> codex84, yep, you are grabbing the DHCP from the same source as you host machine with Bridged.
[04:37] <quuxman> it doesn't even work with the failsafe xorg.conf that uses vesa
[04:37] <sarthor> Hi, i am setting vpn server on ubuntu machine, i am not able to connect the  client xp and ubuntu both to the server, logs are here, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/596358/ ,I followed this  http://www.ewdisonthen.com/how-to-setup-pptp-vpn-server-on-linux-tutorial-07577.php how to
[04:37] <codex84> intel core duo
[04:37] <codex84> is better
[04:37] <codex84> revildraw
[04:37] <codex84> i-are: i see
[04:38] <revilodraw> codex84: yes, but how much better?
[04:38] <quuxman> There are no errors in the X11 log
[04:39] <codex84> well 1.40 still
[04:39] <codex84> slow but better than 1.20 lmao
[04:39] <quuxman> don't know where to even start trouble shooting this
[04:39] <codex84> ghz
[04:39] <codex84> need upgrade lol
[04:39] <revilodraw> codex84: lol yeah i know, but would you say the difference between the two is very slight?
[04:40] <revilodraw> codex84: http://www.kogan.com.au/shop/agora-pro-12-ultra-portable-laptop-computer/ i'm looking at this
[04:40] <Chad___> I'm getting the "frequency out of range" error. Can anyone help. I'm using a LiveCD as of now.
[04:41] <ohsix> Chad___: from your monitor? are you using an intel or nvidia card?
[04:41] <Chad___> However, I have Ubuntu installed already.
[04:41] <Chad___> ohsix: nvidia
[04:42] <Chad___> ohsix: And yes, from my monitor. I need to go and change the Xorg settings, don't I?
[04:43] <ohsix> dunno
[04:44] <ohsix> depends on what happened, if an updated driver broke; or the edid is wrong on your monitor and it finally started caring
[04:45] <Chad___> ohsix: I removed the Nvidia drivere right before this occured. I had the same problem before this, but I was at least able to log in.
[04:46] <hilarie> So..., I gksudo'd a virtualbox guest to get something done... and now... root owns that guest os... how can I take things back from root, he stole my windows xp install
[04:46] <hilarie> Any idea's on how to take it back?
[04:47] <Chad___> ohsix: Any way I can reinstall the nvidia driver from a live cd?
[04:48] <drinxtir> #xbins
[04:48] <ctmjr> Chad___, do this in rescue mode sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.config and change the driver to vesa then reboot hopefully it will fix X not starting
[04:48] <ohsix> you can chroot into the other system
[04:48] <ohsix> ctmjr: there usually isn't an xorg.conf
[04:49] <ctmjr> ohsix there is if he installed the nvidia driver iirc
[04:50] <ohsix> poop
[04:50] <hilarie> startx has fixed xorg not starting for me in the past
[04:50] <aajjbb> hi
[04:50] <Chad___> ctmjr: Thanks, I'll give it a try
[04:51] <aajjbb> hi.. i'm new here;
[04:51] <aajjbb> where are you guys from ?
[04:51] <ohsix> hilarie: it fixed it?
[04:52] <taglass> hilarie: chown is the command to change permissions back to your user
[04:52] <hilarie> oh so cd to the directory where the things are
[04:52] <hilarie> then chown <filename>?
[04:52] <taglass> and do chown hilarie:hilarie <filename>
[04:53] <taglass> well sudo chown
[04:53] <itilious> has anyone here been able to create a vnc over SSH connection sucessefully?
[04:53] <sheena1> hi all. I'm hoping to get some help. I'd like to make a window transparent and put it over a program running in wine.. but compiz doesn't work very well on my laptop. is there any other way to do this? i'm running Gnome..
[04:53] <hilarie> ty taglass :)
[04:53] <hilarie> is there a GUI way to do it?
[04:53] <hilarie> root has almost 50 files of mine
[04:55] <trism> itilious: yes, with x11vnc and the -localhost switch, and then ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 host
[04:55] <LAcan> can anyone recommend an internet search bar for panels?
[04:55] <itilious> trism, i'm using tightvncserver tho
[04:55] <ctmjr> hilarie, gksu nautilus then click the properties tab and then the permission tab on the dir you want to change
[04:56] <taglass> hilarie: you could gksu nautilus and do ith trough gui
[04:56] <hilarie> !
[04:56] <hilarie> Thank you both, that sounds better
[04:56] <itilious> trism, is x11vnc better/newer or just a different "flavor" of a vnc server versus tightvncserver?
[04:56] <taglass> or you could just use wildcards.  if all of the files are in one directory sudo chown hil:hil *.*
[04:56] <taglass> or add the -R flag if you want to do it recursively
[04:57] <trism> itilious: I can't really say, I've barely used tightvnc
[04:58] <itilious> trism, is it possible to get x11vnc to have "session" logins like tightvnc does? basicaly another desktop instead of the one logged on locally?
[05:01] <Guest98823> Who better to recommend a Chinese input method
[05:01] <Jygen> does anyone have the commands to get doom3 through the terminal
[05:02] <codex84> not bad
[05:02] <codex84> i:are
[05:02] <sheena1> hi all. I'm hoping to get some help. I'd like to make a window transparent and put it over a program running in wine.. but compiz doesn't work very well on my laptop. is there any other way to do this? i'm running Gnome..
[05:02] <ctmjr> !ch | Guest98823
[05:03] <Guest98823> Who better to recommend a Chinese input method
[05:03] <Guest98823> 谁推荐一个好一点的中文输入法
[05:03] <trism> itilious: I don't know, I don't see any reason why tightvnc wouldn't work over ssh too though
[05:03] <FloodBot3> !netsplit

[05:04] <itilious> trism, its the port, i can't seem to pin down the port that tightvncserver is using
[05:04] <rohan233> is there something faster than aria2c?
[05:04] <ctmjr> thank you Diamondcite
[05:04] <trism> itilious: usually it increases with the display, so :1 would be 5901, etc
[05:04] <itilious> every time i seem to get the port right, the vnc viewer locks up
[05:05] <archmagos> hi all ...  could anyone direct me to a good place to discuss configuring directory colours in gnome-terminal using the solarized pallette?
[05:07] <itilious> is vnc "old school" anyway is it much more efficient to forward x?
[05:07] <Anom01y> !broadcom
[05:09] <archmagos> ?
[05:10] <itilious> ugh, it just hangs on "connected to localhost 5901" anyone with any ideas why ssh wont forward VNC traffic?
[05:11] <codex84> tryying to connect to the vnc server
[05:11] <codex84> keep saying connection closed
[05:11] <Jygen> updating takes forever
[05:11] <itilious> i can connect to the vnc server thru local network AND public ip, but neither thru ssl
[05:12] <itilious> *ssh
[05:12] <itilious> i've tried every guide i can find on the topic and nothing seems to work
[05:24] <mickster04> izinucs: well then your ssh server isn't running
[05:24] <mickster04> izinucs: oops
[05:29] <Jygen> does anyone on here play tremulous
[05:32] <jdavis> I am trying to get a scanner to work, but it's attached to my network. Where do I configure SANE to find my scanner?
[05:36] <pentester5746> anyone use zentyal
[05:40] <danial> anyone has mastered gnome3 yet?
[05:40] <test000> danial, mastered?
[05:41] <danial> test000, I'm trying to change the theme, I can't figure out the window manager
[05:41] <test000> mdadm: no recogniseable superblock on /dev/sda5    yet it mounts fine as mount /dev/sda5  directory      before the reinstall it was one of 2 disks in mirrored raid.
[05:41] <plum> Ben64: are you there?
[05:42] <test000> how does it mount w/o a superblock?
[05:42] <test000> danial,  lol I am considering kde
[05:42] <Ben64> plum: yep
[05:42] <danial> test000, hmmmm me too
[05:42] <psaikrishna> Hello
[05:42] <plum> Ben64: i don't mean to bother you again, but i wanted to let you know i successfully recovered my partition table last night, using testdisk
[05:42] <Jordan_U> test000: Presumeably because it has an extn superblock and not an mdadm superblock.
[05:43] <psaikrishna> I've an issue with Policykitd
[05:43] <Ben64> plum: cool
[05:43] <plum> :)
[05:43] <psaikrishna> it is eating up the memory
[05:43] <psaikrishna> in 10.10 Ubuntu
[05:43] <psaikrishna> I tried lot of Google search, it ended up in a bug at Ubuntu forums
[05:43] <test000> Jordan_U,  it was a mdadm superblock before.. how can I make it one again?
[05:43] <psaikrishna> Can anybody provide a escape from it
[05:44] <plum> Ben64: i was wondering, do you know how to restore the contents of my /boot though? that partition was restored as a linux partition, but doesn't seem to boot anymore
[05:44] <Jordan_U> test000: I don't know, sorry.
[05:44] <test000> :(
[05:44] <Ben64> plum: would have to reinstall grub and kernel(s)
[05:44] <pentester5746> anyone use zentyal?
[05:45] <Jordan_U> plum: By default Ubuntu does not use a separate /boot partition. Are you sure you had one?
[05:45] <mickster04> !anyone | pentester5746
[05:45] <hilarie> !poll
[05:46] <plum> Jordan_U: when i installed ubuntu, i made another ext partition besides my regular ubuntu partition, and i assigned my /boot to that
[05:46] <plum> Ben64: is it possible to reinstall the kernels from a live cd? i've heard it's sort of a paradox because you need /boot to install kernels or something
[05:47] <Jordan_U> plum: Can you run boot info script (from a liveCD) as explained here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1291280 and pastebin the RESULTS.txt?
[05:47] <danial> what is the latest KDE and how u install it/.
[05:47] <danial> ?
[05:47] <mickster04> !kde
[05:47] <mickster04> danial: good enough?
[05:47] <Jordan_U> plum: That's where the magic of chroot comes in :)
[05:47] <plum> Jordan_U: i don't have my live cd here at the moment, i will save that and try later on :)
[05:48] <danial> mickster04, thanx
[05:48] <Ziber> I'm trying to get Samba to work as a public share on my network, but it still prompts me for a password. What am I doing wrong?
[05:48] <Ziber> Pasting my config right now
[05:49] <mickster04> Ziber: you will want to set guest ok = yes
[05:49] <plum> Jordan_U: chroot will let me re-download my kernels?
[05:49] <mickster04> Ziber: and the folder permissions will have to be correct?
[05:49] <jdavis> I'm trying to get a scanner to work that's on the network. It looks like 6566 is the normal "scanner" port number, but that's closed on the scanning device that I'm using. Any ideas?
[05:49] <jdavis> It's a Brother multi-function device
[05:49] <Ziber> Samba config: http://paste.ziber.org/57285
[05:49] <Ziber> I have guest ok = yes
[05:50] <young> 한글
[05:50] <young> 테스트
[05:50] <young> sorry
[05:50] <Jordan_U> plum: It will let you run commands as if you were booted into your installed system, when you're actually booted from a liveCD.
[05:50] <mickster04> Ziber: as far as i have experienced, samba doesn't like sharing mounted drives as the folders have high permissions
[05:50] <plum> sweeeeet
[05:51] <plum> Jordan_U: thanks for the information :)
[05:51] <Jordan_U> plum: You're welcome :)
[05:51] <Ziber> mickster04: any other network share programs you can recommend which will allow me to do that?
[05:51] <plum> Ben64 and Jordan_U , you guys have been really helpful. probably have each saved my setup at least three times hahaha
[05:52] <Jordan_U> plum: :)
[05:52] <test000> when using mdadm how does it know which drive is the one out of sync and which is the master?
[05:53] <IKSSE> hi what is the terminal command to make sure my graphics drivers are up to date?
[05:54] <IKSSE> or to see what version they are rather
[05:55] <psaikrishna> policykitd eats up memory
[05:55] <psaikrishna> in 10:10
[05:56] <mickster04> Ziber: try using the gui to do it. it might work. but basically i haven't worked out a way of sharing mounted folders :(
[05:56] <mickster04> Ziber: but i haven't tried very hard
[05:56] <mickster04> IKSSE: system>admin>hardware drivers
[05:56] <mickster04> IKSSE: and if you run the update manager before hand you should be fine
[05:56] <izinucs> jdavis: you have to get the drivers and instructions from brother.  It's a pain to install but it works.. I have an MFC 7440n .. scanner works well including the printer function.. faxing can only be done from cli and is cumbersome
[05:57] <izinucs> jdavis: use xsane not simple scanner..
[05:57] <Yerushalmi> Hey folks, question: how can I password-protect access to a folder and/or a program?
[05:57] <Zelozelos> Yerushalmi, use a compression tool would be an easy way
[05:57] <mickster04> Yerushalmi: folders in your home folder are inaccessable except to root users?
[05:57] <Jordan_U> plum: Be sure whatever LiveCD you grab is 64 bit (if your installed system is 64 bit). A 64 bit live system can chroot into either a 32 or 64 bit system. A 32 bit liveCD can only chroot into a 32 bit system.
[05:58] <plum> uh oh
[05:58] <brady> What is portable mp3 player which works with Ubuntu?
[05:58] <plum> i think i installed 32 bit ubuntu on my 64 bit machine though
[05:58] <mickster04> brady: any of them will do
[05:58] <Yerushalmi> Zelozelos: Without having to uncompress it every time I want to use it would be preferable. Just something that prompts you for a password if you try to open the program or the folder.
[05:58] <mickster04> plum: not a major issue
[05:59] <IKSSE> mickster:  i dont have a hardware drivers option in admin and there is nothing in update manager or proprietary drivers.
[05:59] <plum> ah k
[05:59] <mickster04> Yerushalmi: try http://newtoubuntu.wordpress.com/2008/12/18/password-protected-folders/
[05:59] <brady> mickster04, I don't think your claim is true.
[05:59] <Zelozelos> Yerushalmi, why would you want a folder to lock from yourself?
[05:59] <mickster04> IKSSE: well then all is up to date
[05:59] <jdavis> izinucs: I think I have the right driver installed, but it doesn't work over the network.
[05:59] <plum> okay guys i gotta go though
[05:59] <plum> i'll find that log text and put it on later
[05:59] <Yerushalmi> Zelozelos: To lock from others who use the computer, obviously :p
[06:00] <izinucs> jdavis: did you get the driver from brother?
[06:00] <mickster04> brady: oh? anything less than 3 years old should be good at least
[06:00] <Zelozelos> Yerushalmi, user accounts?
[06:00] <jdavis> izinucs, yes, I just did   546  dpkg --install /home/jdavis/Downloads/brscan4-0.3.0-2.amd64.deb
[06:00] <IKSSE> mickster04: im trying to see because using java for games is keeping me at ~15fps and 85-90% cpu usage
[06:00] <jdavis> izinucs, and then I do "scanimage -L" and nothing shows up.
[06:01] <mickster04> IKSSE: java isn't hardware accelerated is it?
[06:01] <izinucs> jdavis: you might want to re-read the instructions.. there's typically another file you have to install
[06:01] <Yerushalmi> mickster04: Thanks, that looks like it'll help
[06:01] <jdavis> I put "<IP_ADDRESS>" (the printer address) in /etc/sane.d/net.conf
[06:01] <mickster04> Yerushalmi: don't mean to be a douche, but second google result for password protect folder ubuntu
[06:01] <IKSSE> mickster04: not 100% on that. i think it may be a 3D acceleration problem but im not certain
[06:02] <mickster04> IKSSE: i don't think java IS accelarated, meaning it doesn't use graphics cards especially
[06:02] <Yerushalmi> mickster04: Heh. I guess I've become too jaded with actually getting results  through google, the sheer number of times I've had Unique Problems with this computer that needed human insight to solve.
[06:02] <mickster04> IKSSE: flash has only just implemented that in the last couple of releases
[06:03] <jdavis> izinucs, thank you, I am installing the scan key tool now. I ran it, and still no luck, but I'm still poking around.
[06:03] <IKSSE> mickster04: so java will just keep pouding away with straight cpu usage more or less?
[06:03] <bhavesh> This is my boot sequence pic : http://i.imgur.com/A42ln.jpg , I cannot boot from my windows 7 CD it directly loads ubuntu
[06:04] <mickster04> IKSSE: yes
[06:04] <bhavesh> Lights on the DVD drive blink for some time
[06:04] <bhavesh> and it loads ubunut directly
[06:04] <bhavesh> I installed windows from the same drive earlier...
[06:04] <bhavesh> ub ubuntu*
[06:05] <mickster04> right guys, i'm off home see y'all later
[06:06] <Yerushalmi> quit
[06:06] <Yerushalmi> gah
[06:06] <bhavesh> I even tried boot menu...
[06:06] <cl0se> is your cdrom installed properly?
[06:07] <bhavesh> yes.. actually I have a DVD..
[06:07] <cl0se> this question is not an ubuntu related question, just FYI...
[06:07] <bhavesh> I can open its contents from my ubuntu
[06:07] <cl0se> DVD using IDE or SATA?
[06:07] <bhavesh> huh?
[06:07] <cl0se> what CD are you trying to boot?
[06:07] <bhavesh> windows 7 DVD

[06:34] <Syria> Hello, I bought a usb wireless adapter and it is supported by linux and i have its driver but I don't know how to install it please help me, I have the read me file.
[06:34] <roberto> that maybe its a problem with the MBR
[06:35] <bhavesh> roberto: any way to fix it?
[06:35] <bullgard4> !wireless | Syria
[06:35] <roberto> u got the w7 installation dvd?
[06:36] <Syria> bullgard4 it doesn't include information about installing drivers.
[06:36] <hiexpo> Syria, what wireless card is it
[06:36] <Syria> hiexpo:  Edimax. usb wireless adapter
[06:36] <bhavesh> roberto: yes
[06:37] <bhavesh> robertoL its a UDF-DVD
[06:37] <Syria> hiexpo:  EW-7612 APN Edimax.
[06:37] <hiexpo> Syria, just plug it in and open a terminal and type iwconfig
[06:38] <roberto> whatever basically u should try this
[06:38] <bhavesh> roberto: this?
[06:38] <roberto> boot from the dvd and choose the option of repair
[06:38] <dn4> What happens when the plasmon resonance of the carbon  nanotube antenna matches the surface plasmonic resonance of the  carbon nanotube antenna
[06:38] <roberto> and them
[06:38] <bhavesh> roberto: I cannot boot from dvd
[06:39] <bhavesh> roberto : It directly loads into ubuntu
[06:39] <roberto> and the bios ?
[06:39] <roberto> its ok?
[06:39] <hiexpo> robertf, yes
[06:39] <hiexpo> oops
[06:40] <bhavesh> roberto: my bios : <img src="http://i.imgur.com/A42ln.jpg" title="Hosted by imgur.com" />
[06:40] <bhavesh> roberto: http://i.imgur.com/A42ln.jpg
[06:41] <Syria> hiexpo:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/596397/   please note that I am connected to the internet using wifi on my laptop.
[06:41] <roberto> u just got one dvd or cd unit on ur pc?
[06:42] <bhavesh> roberto: its only one .. it can play both DVD and CD
[06:43] <roberto> u bios can boot from a usb flash drive?
[06:43] <hiexpo> Syria, you got 2 wireless cards connected to dlink on there wlan0 and wlan1
[06:43] <bhavesh> roberto: what?
[06:43] <rob_p> dn4: you get perfect cancelation and theoretically zero radiated emission from the antenna, duh! :)
[06:44] <bhavesh> roberto: O.. but can I use the same file to boot from a USB?
[06:44] <Syria> hiexpo: I will use this usb adapter with my desktop later, so i am trying to install its driver now so I can make an access point of it.
[06:44] <dn4> rob_p: is the antenna a wave and could we even classify such a thing as an antenna ?
[06:44] <rob_p> dn4: Only if it's counterpoise exists
[06:45] <roberto> well there is a way to do it with the dvd of w7 in the usb and the u can boot
[06:45] <hiexpo> Syria, that cd driver you got is for windows   > toss it
[06:45] <dn4> rob_p: How do you conclude theoretically zero radiative emissions exist while the wave resonances match each other even with the interfacing?
[06:45] <roberto> if ur bios can do it of course
[06:45] <bhavesh> roberto: ok ill try that
[06:45] <hiexpo> Syria, use it for a frisbee
[06:45] <Syria> hiexpo:  I have downloaded its linux drivers from their website.
[06:45] <rob_p> dn4: but even then, the rules only apply (loosly) to conventional physics.
[06:45] <roberto> but wat u need its the ms-dos command prompt
[06:46] <roberto> well check this out w8
[06:46] <hiexpo> Syria, what wireless cards you have plugged in now ?
[06:46] <Zeu51> hi
[06:46] <rob_p> dn4: How do I conclude... it's just a, "feeling!"
[06:46] <Syria> hiexpo:  I have the wirelesss which is built in my laptop and the new edimax usb adapter.
[06:46] <rob_p> dn4: Sorry... just talking out my... umm.. ya know! :)
[06:47] <hiexpo> Syria, they are both working
[06:47] <roberto> well
[06:47] <dn4> rob_p: ahh well on that note; I believe you are wrong
[06:47] <rob_p> dn4: Let's save this for another channel and keep it on Ubuntu support though. :)
[06:47] <Syria> hiexpo:  How can I make an access point of that edimax wireless usb adapter? it needs a driver right?
[06:47] <roberto> when u are in the cmd write this two commands
[06:47] <roberto> bootrec /fixmbr
[06:48] <roberto> bootrec /fixboot
[06:48] <rob_p> dn4: Yeah, probably.  But you can't prove it!
[06:48] <roberto> tha is with any kind of windows
[06:48] <bullgard4> Why does not exist the process ssh-agent although the file /usr/bin/ssh-agent exists?
[06:48] <hiexpo> Syria, no it already had the driver for it in ubuntu it is fine get over that it is connected to your dlink now it works
[06:48] <Zeu51> cl0se: hi there
[06:49] <Zeu51> i think i have lotus notes installed
[06:49] <roberto> but as u told me u  go directly with ubuntu and theres should be a way to do it in linux
[06:49] <Zeu51> but when i click on the launcher nothing happens.. i have alreadyrestarted
[06:49] <roberto> as well
[06:49] <Syria> hiexpo: But when i connect the same usb adapter to my desktop nothing happens. :( i can't add or connect to wireless.
[06:49] <hiexpo> Syria, you mean differant computer?
[06:50] <Syria> hiexpo:  Yes but both are working under Ubuntu 10.10 Meerkat.
[06:50] <Syria> hiexpo: And when I turn the wireless off on the laptop that i am using now I get the same result.
[06:51] <hiexpo> Syria, the wireless must be turned on to work
[06:52] <Syria> hiexpo: But when I connect that usb adapter to my desktop which is also running under Ubuntu 10.10 nothing happens.
[06:52] <thumb1040> Zeu51 is lotus notes installed with wine. It doesn't come in the repositories does it?
[06:52] <dn4> rob_p: do not doubt that I can or cannot prove anything for I merely asked a question that very few have even asked or know anything about. For you to answer though is noble and my feelings are different that yos
[06:53] <hiexpo> Syria, ok do the same thing i told you before plug it in and do iwconfig and see the output
[06:54] <Zeu51> thumb1040: nope i donwloaded the trial version and just installed it with the help from cl0se
[06:54] <thumb1040> oh. i see. so you manually installed it then?
[06:55] <Syria> hiexpo:  I am at work now and the desktop is at home I will do that later.
[06:55] <Syria> hiexpo:  Thank you for helping me. :)
[06:55] <rob_p> dn4: Well, if you can prove it, you're far ahead of me or anyone else I know involved in quantum physics.  Anyway, interesting stuff for sure! :)
[06:55] <hiexpo> Syria, no problem and i am usually on here so good luck
[06:56] <dn4> interesting indeed; now I just wish I had the money and people nessary to answer that question
[06:56] <Syria> :)
[06:56] <rob_p> dn4: Don't we all, hehe!
[06:56] <dn4> assuming we all do is a logical fallacy
[06:57]  * dn4 laughs
[06:57] <rob_p> dn4: What...too much credit to human kind?
[06:58] <kesor> i have Urban Terror folder installed in my home map, how can i add an shortcut to the games folder of the run file??????????+?
[06:58] <rob_p> dn4: Yeah, you're right.  I should have said, "We all should."
[06:58] <drzaius12> Does anyone know if it is possible to install a 2.6.35 version kernel in Natty/11.04?
[06:59] <rww> drzaius12 : #ubuntu is for supported versions of Ubuntu only. Please use #ubuntu+1 for natty until it's released (probably on the 28th). Thanks!
[06:59] <dn4> rob_p: that is a bit more idealistic and my fingers smell like tuna fish; FML
[06:59] <drzaius12> Sorry. Thank you.
[06:59] <rww> dn4, rob_p: try #ubuntu-offtopic ;P
[06:59] <kesor> i have Urban Terror folder installed in my home map, how can i add an shortcut to the games folder of the run file??????????+?
[06:59] <cl0se> Zeu51, how'd it go?
[07:00] <dn4> rww: we are already there; oh wait this is #ubuntu I will helpz the masses
[07:00] <dn4> kesor: right click said icon for game and create shortcut
[07:00] <kesor> dn4: and how do i add it to the Games folder?
[07:01] <dn4> hmm this is tricky but you can go to the menu right click it
[07:01] <dn4> then you get options right
[07:01] <dn4> hmm isn't there a command for ubuntu to where youc an update your entire applications menu in the top left
[07:01] <dn4> like updatedb
[07:03] <thumb1040> Hey guys, I've been trying to figure out an elegant way to move some directories around in bash. For instance here are the file/directory names that I'm working with right now: http://pastebin.com/P0T5bu9V Anybody have an Idea how I could move everything except "alt" into the directory by the name of "directory"?
[07:03] <kesor> dn4: nope
[07:03] <kesor> where is the Games folder located ?
[07:04] <cl0se> mv * directory | mv directory/alt .
[07:04] <Zeu51> cl0se:  didnt work
[07:04] <cl0se> :P
[07:04] <Zeu51> after installing lotus notes, i cannot get it to run
[07:04] <Zeu51> weird
[07:04] <cl0se> what's the error?
[07:04] <Zeu51> cl0se: no error. simply nothing happened
[07:04] <cl0se> go into a command prompt
[07:05] <cl0se> type the lotus notes command
[07:05] <Zeu51> i see a launcher for lotus notes tho
[07:05] <cl0se> tell me if there is an error then.
[07:05] <Zeu51> cl0se: gimme some time.. i am checking for the command
[07:05] <codex84> wanna tranfer a video from my virtual machine useing windows 7
[07:05] <codex84> to my ubuntu
[07:05] <codex84> ?
[07:06] <thumb1040> cl0se what are you piping to the second mv command?
[07:06] <bahamas> hello. i'm upgrading to ubuntu 9.10 and there's a prompt saying that if i don't have universe enabled certain packages are going to be removed
[07:06] <Iimitk> which is more reliable, add users one wants to be able to run as root to the 'sudo' or the 'admin' group?
[07:06] <pfifo> thumb1040, i would use a combination of ls, sed and grep to make a shell script
[07:07] <_genuser_> hello people
[07:07] <bahamas> however, looking at /etc/apt/sources.list i see that the line referring to universe is commented because of the upgrade. how do i need to proceed so i can keep my packages?
[07:07] <roberto> hi
[07:07] <_genuser_> anybody here using using luks on netbuntu?
[07:07] <_genuser_> *LUKS
[07:08] <thumb1040> pfifo: isn't grep for searching the contents of files? don't i need to do an operation on the file names themselves?
[07:10] <taglass> thumb1040: grep is for searching any stream
[07:10] <taglass> thumb1040: like say input from a pipe
[07:10] <pfifo> thumb1040, ls|grep -v directory| grep -v alt| sed 's/.*/mv & directory/' >> outfile && chmod 0777 outfile
[07:11] <pfifo> thumb1040, but dont blame me if it dosent work right, better test it first
[07:11] <bahamas> anyone?
[07:11] <axscode> http://images.maplin.co.uk/300/A58JQ.jpg  <-- i have this cable, but i dont have an soundcard, so i want to output sound from usb going to my stereo-in.
[07:12] <thumb1040> pfifo: ok. leme work on that
[07:12] <rob_p> thumb1040: ...another approach:  for i in `ls ./ | egrep -v 'directory|alt'`; do mv $i ./directory; done
[07:12] <bazhang> bahamas, edit it by removing the # in front of it and apt-get update again
[07:12] <pfifo> thumb1040, sometime strings and xargs help too
[07:13] <bahamas> bazhang: ok, i'll need to cancel my upgrade for now, because i'm passed that point. i thought that it was going to offer me a choice whether to remove them or not
[07:17] <thumb1040> pfifo: hey what's the proper syntax to see what I get from ls|grep -v directory         ? Would that be something like ls|grep -v directory|echo      ?
[07:19] <pfifo> thumb1040, just dont pipe the last command to a file, this part ">> outfile"
[07:22] <fennng> set theme clean
[07:25] <ben42> hi, my screenset doesn't turn off automaticaly, i set up the screensaver @ 10min and "put display on sleep" @15, what did i missed?
[07:25] <ooxi> hi i have extreme io problems with my ubuntu desktop. whenever i do an svn *something* it takes like ages and while one cpu is complete idle the other has 100% iowait
[07:25] <ooxi> can somebody give me hints how to debug that?
[07:27] <cache_surplus> ooxi: doesnt sound good
[07:27] <cache_surplus> ooxi: pastebin some errors/logs
[07:28] <ooxi> cache_surplus: where to get the errors?
[07:28] <ooxi> svn does not throw any
[07:28] <ooxi> and it works
[07:28] <ooxi> but is very slow
[07:28] <FloodBot3> ooxi: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:29] <cache_surplus> less /var/log/messages, dmesg for starters
[07:29] <cache_surplus> iostat
[07:29] <ooxi> cache_surplus http://paste.ubuntu.com/596411/ <-- iostat
[07:30] <cache_surplus> ooxi: are you on linux?
[07:30] <ooxi> cache_surplus, yes ubuntu linux 8.04
[07:30] <ooxi> nothing special in dmesg (only bootup messages)
[07:30] <cache_surplus> ooxi: did you load iostat or was that default installed
[07:30] <cache_surplus> pastebin your top
[07:30] <cache_surplus> u = root
[07:31] <ooxi> cache_surplus i installed the sysstat package in order to get iostat
[07:31] <cache_surplus> u = yourusername
[07:31] <cache_surplus> ic
[07:31] <cache_surplus> k
[07:31] <ooxi> yes iostat was run as root
[07:31] <cache_surplus> yah, thats a freebsd cluster of progs

[07:32] <cache_surplus> sheshh
[07:32] <ooxi> cache_surplus, how to copy from top ^^
[07:32] <ooxi> whenever i want to copy it the screen refreshes
[07:32] <orngjce223> Quick, does someone know a command line program that plays stdin to a JACK sink? Nothing fancy
[07:32] <WhiteD> cache_surplus: go to http://paste.ubuntu.com
[07:33] <WhiteD> I have a problem with my window manager in GNOME
[07:33] <orngjce223> *as a JACK source, sorry
[07:33] <rob_p> ooxi: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[07:33] <ooxi> rob_p, 8.04
[07:34] <Sonicadvance1> so, xdg-screensaver makes the screen flicker in my dual monitor setup with Nvidia drivers, anyone know why? Ubuntu 10.10 :D
[07:34] <ooxi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/596412/ <-- rob_p, cache_surplus top of my user
[07:34] <Sonicadvance1> arguments xdg-screensaver suspend <id>
[07:35] <cache_surplus> is sadc enabled? in sysstat conf?
[07:35] <ooxi> cache_surplus, don't know i'll have to look it up, will take a sec
[07:35] <cache_surplus> ooxi: your load is 7.X!!!
[07:35] <cache_surplus> my gawd
[07:35] <rob_p> ooxi: There's a known issue with high iowait time with *some* of those older kernels around the time of 8.04 and 9.1.
[07:35] <ooxi> cache_surplus only svn update running
[07:35] <cache_surplus> what are you doing, whats your top and ps -aux like?
[07:35] <cache_surplus> updating what?
[07:36] <ooxi> cache_surplus, only running svn update on one branch (max 50mib in size)
[07:36] <ooxi> cache_surplus, ps -aux only shows my processes :-(
[07:36] <cache_surplus> ooxi:  ps -aux
[07:37] <cache_surplus> and free
[07:37] <cache_surplus> pastebin all that im asking in one nice neat file ok...
[07:37] <ooxi> cache_surplus http://paste.ubuntu.com/596414/ <-- apache is the svn backend
[07:38] <cache_surplus> your top was not in length
[07:38] <mehmetali> Hi. ksoftirqd/7 always is working. (proccess time is same as uptime)
[07:38] <ooxi> http://paste.ubuntu.com/596415/ cache_surplus <-- free
[07:38] <rob_p> ooxi: Anyhow, you're not the only one to experience that issue.  Have a look here:  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1322161.html
[07:39] <ooxi> rob_p, hmm but i cannot upgrade :-(
[07:39] <rob_p> ooxi: Maybe a kernel update will fix it.  What kernel are you running?
[07:39] <cache_surplus> what cmd did you use for svn
[07:39] <ooxi> rob_p how to tell?
[07:40] <ooxi> cache_surplus ,,svn update''
[07:40] <rob_p> ooxi: uname -r
[07:40] <ooxi> rob_p 2.6.24-29-generic
[07:41] <rob_p> ooxi: Ok. That is as recent a kernel as you're going to get for 8.04, I believe.
[07:41] <ooxi> rob_p, damn ^^
[07:42] <rob_p> ooxi: I'm afraid you'll either need to compile your own, or upgrade to a later Ubuntu to get later kernels...
[07:42] <ooxi> rob_p do you definitly think it's a kernel issue?
[07:42] <rob_p> ooxi: Still, I'd have thought the issue would have been worked out in 2.6.24-29 kernel. Hmm...
[07:43] <itilious> does having 4 different instances of vino-server running and using up 100% of my cpu between them mean i pretty much have been hacked?
[07:43] <rob_p> ooxi: Not 100%, no.
[07:43] <ooxi> rob_p, it's a dedicated server running on sas drives. i think the io performance should be ok :/
[07:43] <simax2> Hello simax
[07:43] <simax2> hello
[07:44] <aboSamoor> can someone help me with this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/766417 ?
[07:44] <itilious> because i'm not using it and i'm the only one that administers this system
[07:44] <ooxi> itilious, i don't think a hacker would use vino-server ^^
[07:44] <ooxi> but kill the offending processes
[07:46] <galigio_> Hi
[07:46] <itilious> ooxi, i use tightvncserver and xvnc4viewer to view, do i even need vino-server?
[07:46] <rob_p> ooxi: Yeah, you'd think so anyway.  Wish I could be of more help.  Did you read over that URL I gave.  Perhaps there's something in there you can try (mtime options, etc.) to put a bandaid fix in place until you figure out what's causing the problem.
[07:46] <itilious> is it seperate or still needed?
[07:47] <ooxi> rob_p, yes thanks for the link. i've already told the admin to enable noatime mount option
[07:47] <ooxi> itilious, no, probably not
[07:49] <rob_p> ooxi: Good luck with it.  I'm glad my 8.04 system hasn't seen that issue!  Mine is using 4 SATA drives in raid1 so its not the same configuration as yours.
[07:50] <rob_p> ooxi: ...and mine is running the server kernel...
[07:52] <ooxi> rob_p, am i not running the server kernel?
[07:52] <kippi> hey
[07:52] <rob_p> ooxi: You're running generic.
[07:53] <ooxi> rob_p ah ok. can i swap the kernel without pain?
[07:53] <raven_> 10.10 and trust drawing board: left mouse click freezes when i touch anything on the board. known problem/any solution?
[07:54] <kippi> I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 it was working great, upgrade went really well. I did the normal updates yesterday and now it's getting stuck on the ubuntu loading screen. If I load into recovery i am unable to select any of the options, could someone help.
[07:55] <rob_p> ooxi: You're on a desktop system, right?  Anyway, you *should* be able to run the server kernel on it but I've not tried migrating to a server kernel after the fact, at least on a desktop system.
[07:55] <ooxi> rob_p, no it's a headless server my company uses for development
[07:56] <raven_> 10.10 and trust drawing board: left mouse click freezes when i touch anything on the board. known problem/any solution?
[07:56] <rob_p> ooxi: Well, first get the blessing of those who matter, and then give it a try.  Just don't uninstall your current kernel so that you can go back to it if you need.
[07:56] <ooxi> rob_p, ok thanks :-)
[07:57] <rob_p> ooxi: welcome, good luck! :)
[07:59] <gamla_kossan> hi people, what wm will 11.04 run?
[07:59] <gamla_kossan> (by default)
[08:00] <rww> gamla_kossan: Compiz
[08:00] <gamla_kossan> rww: that's.. not really a wm :)
[08:00] <rww> gamla_kossan: Yes it is.
[08:00] <rww> gamla_kossan: The answer to the question you meant to ask is Unity.
[08:01] <gamla_kossan> rww: oh? could you elaborate?
[08:02] <raven_> 10.10 and trust drawing board: left mouse click freezes when i touch anything on the board. known problem/any solution?
[08:03] <rww> gamla_kossan: By default, Ubuntu 11.04 will run Unity as a shell, which requires Compiz as a window manager, and GNOME 2 as a desktop environment.
[08:03] <gamla_kossan> rww: wow, that's.. confusing :)
[08:04] <mulp> hey Ben64
[08:04] <rww> gamla_kossan: by comparison, Ubuntu 10.10 uses gnome-panel as a shell, Compiz as a window manager, and GNOME 2 as a desktop environment. Upstream GNOME 3 uses gnome-shell as a shell, mutter as a window manager, and GNOME 3 as desktop environment.
[08:04] <mulp> it's plum
[08:04] <Ben64> hi
[08:05] <mulp> i'm in a live cd right now, would you be able to help me to get my /boot partition back?
[08:05] <Ben64> kinda busy : /
[08:05] <yuskhanzab> hello all, gd evening :)
[08:05] <gamla_kossan> rww: interesting, I obviously need to read up on this. thanks!
[08:06] <mulp> ah okay
[08:08] <MarGarina> I have an ancient Interpid Ubuntu which I'd like to upgrade, but I cannot even do apt-get update, because all interpid mirrors seems to be removed
[08:08] <mulp> Jordan_U: i got that boot info script's results if you would like to see them
[08:08] <MarGarina> do-release-upgrade fails because it doesn't know about new releases
[08:08] <MarGarina> any idea how can I upgrade either way?
[08:08] <Jordan_U> mulp: Sure.
[08:09] <Ben64> MarGarina: try a cd
[08:09] <MarGarina> What about just replacing the sources.list lines to jaunty and doing apt-get upgrade, would it be stupid?
[08:09] <Ben64> yes
[08:10] <Jordan_U> mulp: I'll be away for a few minutes though.
[08:10] <mulp> ah okay
[08:10] <mulp> Jordan_U: here is the info though: http://pastebin.com/q5AUpTGk
[08:10] <Ben64> MarGarina: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[08:11] <llutz_> MarGarina: jaunty is outdated too, makes no sense to upgrade to
[08:11] <MarGarina> ben64: awesome, looks like what I need! thanks
[08:11] <Ben64> google is your friend
[08:13] <gaelfx> In the SMART status portion of Disk Utility, what do all the different values mean? I see Normalized, Worst, Threshold and Value, but I don't understand what they're trying to really tell me
[08:13] <zetsu> hello?
[08:14] <gamla_kossan> zetsu: myes?
[08:14] <zetsu> is it being calm here today?
[08:14] <gaelfx> to borrow from BC, that depends what the meaning of 'calm' is
[08:14] <mulp> brb
[08:15] <zetsu> oh, well, this is not really ubuntu-related that much but maybe point me out to a better channel if you can think of something
[08:16] <Gurke__> hi
[08:16] <Gurke__> i need help
[08:16] <llutz_> gaelfx: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.M.A.R.T.
[08:16] <van7hu> Gurke__: I need help
[08:17] <LLStarks> hi, i can't get tty anymore. not through recovery boot or ctrl+alt+fn.
[08:17] <zetsu> but I was trying to figure out what would be a lightweight-ish distro for older computers, and also easy to use
[08:17] <zetsu> and relatively easy to install and set up, as I'd be installing it 1-3 times a day
[08:18] <zetsu> would there be any better place to ask for that?*
[08:19] <gamla_kossan> zetsu: maybe you could look into fluxbuntu and kickstart installing
[08:19] <High_Priest> zetsu, what do you want to do with it? what are the requirements ?
[08:19] <zetsu> umm, to put it on older used computers
[08:19] <zetsu> 1,5ish ghz and up
[08:19] <zetsu> 256mb ram
[08:19] <zetsu> not like, dead ancient but old
[08:20] <gamla_kossan> well, I should do some work, so long suckers :)
[08:20] <zetsu> quick-ish to set up, easy to use, pretty light
[08:20] <zetsu> for random people
[08:20] <zetsu> internetz, basic everyday use
[08:20] <zetsu> word process maybe, etc. etc.
[08:21] <[deXter]> zetsu: Puppy linux or puppy based distros ould be a good choice
[08:21] <[deXter]> zetsu: I would recommend TurboPup.. it uses like 10MB of RAM and runs a modern X.Org server.. you can run all your usual apps and stuff
[08:22] <zetsu> puppies are nice but are they that fitting for people who have never touched linux
[08:22] <[deXter]> Yeah I've loaded puppy on quite a few old machines for people who never heard of linux
[08:22] <kardiel> Ive just added a modeline 1280x1024 through xrandr. How can i save it so when i reboot its 1280x1024 resolution?
[08:22] <[deXter]> zetsu: In my experience the problem I've had is not with the newbies but with the techies
[08:23] <zetsu> deXter: how so?
[08:23] <[deXter]> zetsu: because the techies have some obscure windows program/scripts that they're used to and want it to use in Linux.. all the newbies basically use the internet and word
[08:23] <zetsu> hmm.
[08:23] <zetsu> true
[08:24] <[deXter]> zetsu: for the newbies all I do is put aptly named shortcuts "Internet", "Word", "Chat" and they're good to go.
[08:24] <[deXter]> If there are  further issues and I don't mind helping them out
[08:24] <llutz_> zetsu: the distro isn't the problem with 256MB, the apps are. Using bloated stuff like openoffice, firefox etc. makes working no fun
