[15:57] <rabbi1> How can i download Facebook albums at one go in firefox?
[15:58] <BussDriver> Hey all!  I'm having problems booting into ubuntu 11.10.  About 1/3rd of the time, everything works fine.. however, about 2/3rds of the time, I get a black screen.  I can switch to a virtual term and login, at which point it says "failed to start X server".  X.org.0.log simply says "No screens found - aborting".  I can't figure out why this is completely random.  Help!
[15:58] <martian> rabbi1: that doesn't really have anything to do with ubuntu
[15:58] <ActionParsnip> BussDriver: is the ram healthy?
[15:58] <rabbi1> martian: i search for firefox channel, any suggestion ?
[15:59] <BussDriver> ActionParsnip: I can't find any reason to believe otherwise.  Windows works fine, and ubuntu works fine once it boots.
[15:59] <emyi146> ActionParsnip: thanks!!
[15:59] <martian> rabbi1: https://addons.mozilla.org/
[15:59] <ActionParsnip> BussDriver: Its worth a test, Windows may be able to manage bad ram differnt to Ubuntu

[16:00] <ActionParsnip> BussDriver: not sure tbh
[16:00] <RamtinA1> sdsddssd: dorood
[16:00] <kantlivelong> BussDriver: which video driver?
[16:00] <BussDriver> ActionParsnip: Assuming the ram is fine, what would you think to check next?
[16:00] <ActionParsnip> BussDriver: its worth a test, even the first few checks will be ok
[16:01] <BussDriver> kantlivelong: ATI open source
[16:01] <helioz> any ideas what I might do with an overlapping HDD?
[16:01] <kantlivelong> BussDriver: ugh @ ATI
[16:01] <BussDriver> kantlivelong: It's what's in the laptop :)
[16:01] <kantlivelong> BussDriver: more than likely ATI video.. did u try the closed drivers?
[16:01] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: that addon is removed
[16:01] <rabbi1> :)
[16:02] <BussDriver> kantlivelong: It appears the only available closed source driver for my video card is still in 'prerelease' format.. thus it displays a splash over the screen and doesn't support much.
[16:02] <BussDriver> kantlivelong: For instance, font rendering.
[16:03] <kantlivelong> hrm
[16:03] <MonkeyDust> BussDriver  is this link useful? http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/
[16:03] <kantlivelong> BussDriver: i would suggest installing ubuntu in a VM for the time being if u can
[16:03] <kantlivelong> that way u dont have to deal w/ driver nonsense
[16:04] <kantlivelong> BussDriver: u can always convert the VM to ur physical box when the stable driver is out
[16:04] <BussDriver> kantlivelong: I rely on the performance a bit too much for that I'm afraid
[16:05] <rabbi1> ActionParsnip: facepaste is the one for now :)
[16:05] <poli2> hello all! I just installed libsasl2-modules-sql and the libsql.so file is correctly in /usr/lib/sasl2, but when I try a saslpluginviewer, it will not list this sql plugin. Any ideas why?
[16:05] <ActionParsnip> rabbi1: if it works, cool
[16:05] <kantlivelong> BussDriver: theres not much of a loss when using vbox unless your looking for high end video
[16:05] <BussDriver> that's exactly what I'm looking for
[16:05] <kantlivelong> BussDriver: then again your likely not goingto get highend video w/ the opensource ati driver..
[16:05] <BussDriver> I can drive 2 external monitors with ubuntu right now
[16:06] <BussDriver> can't do that in windows unfortunately :\
[16:06] <kantlivelong> BussDriver: vbox supports multimon
[16:06] <BussDriver> right, if the underlying OS does too
[16:06] <kantlivelong> BussDriver: yeah
[16:06] <BussDriver> which it doesn't for me
[16:06] <kantlivelong> stupid ATI(AMD)
[16:06] <kantlivelong> they need to open their drivers
[16:06] <BussDriver> indeed
[16:06] <BussDriver> they did didn't they
[16:07] <BussDriver> i thought it was nvidia that hasn't opened anything
[16:07] <kantlivelong> BussDriver: oh? i musta missed something..
[16:07] <RamtinA1> any one know how can i use socks5 in ubuntu?
[16:07] <kantlivelong> BussDriver: i know nvidia is closed but i never had much of a problem w/ them minus the stupid powermizer bugs
[16:07] <kantlivelong> which may be fixed now..

[16:18] <savage2005> gedit doesnt have the text coloring for key words does it?
[16:18] <MonkeyDust> html editing is the only reason why i still use the redmond OS

[16:30] <connie> forum linux
[16:30] <auronandace> connie: what do you mean by that?
[16:30] <jhonnyboy> does sudo apt-get update search for software updates? or only kernel updates?
[16:30] <connie> so one told me /join## linux
[16:31] <MonkeyDust> jhonnyboy  it syncs your pc with the ubuntu sources
[16:31] <auronandace> connie: then type: /join ##linux
[16:31] <jhonnyboy> MonkeyDust, yeah but syncs and notifies of missing updates
[16:31] <connie> ok
[16:32] <theadmin> jhonnyboy: "update" just checks for updates, "upgrade" actually installs them
[16:32] <jhonnyboy> MonkeyDust, are the missing updates shown of all software installed on my pc?
[16:32] <jhonnyboy> yarp
[16:32] <MonkeyDust> jhonnyboy  yes
[16:33] <theadmin> jhonnyboy: As for syslog, no, not really.

[16:35] <jsschmid> Hi everybody!
[16:36] <jsschmid> Simple question (as I hope): mysql is not starting up, when my server reboots. Starting it manually works without problems... where to look? (Linux server1 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5.028stab079.2 #1 SMP Fri Dec 17 19:25:15 MSK 2010 i686 GNU/Linux)

[16:39] <pip__> hello, I would like to watch BBC iPlayer  without using flash.  I think I need to know how to use get-iplayer can anyone give me some easy to understand instruction?
[16:40] <auronandace> jsschmid: 2.6.18? what ubuntu are you using?
[16:40] <pip__> I do you tube & the like in VLC standalone

[16:43] <auronandace> jsschmid: what is the output of uname -a
[16:43] <AaronCampbell> Is spell check in Firefox and Thunderbird related to some external package or is it actually part of those programs?
[16:43] <jsschmid> auronandace: Linux server1 2.6.18-194.26.1.el5.028stab079.2 #1 SMP Fri Dec 17 19:25:15 MSK 2010 i686 GNU/Linux
[16:44] <auronandace> jsschmid: so you are not using lucid then
[16:44] <AaronCampbell> The reason I ask is that is seems that they're not spell checking properly for my locale (America).  Things like Customize and colors are marks as incorrect and I'm suggested customise and colours
[16:44] <AaronCampbell> I'm wondering what I might be able to do to fix it
[16:44] <jsschmid> auronandace: I really don't know ... sorry! Is it relevant for the startup of services?
[16:45] <pip__> thanks for the link, I've installed it, I'm just clueless as to what I'm supposed to do with it.
[16:45] <ActionParsnip> jsschmid: sure you aren't using centos?
[16:45] <auronandace> jsschmid: 2.6.18 is rather old, lucid uses 2.6.32, from your uname -a it appears you're not using ubuntu at all
[16:46] <jsschmid> ActionParsnip: well, the output of less /etc/issue is Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS
[16:47] <_sammy_> hoping someone can point me in the right direction here...  I'm trying to file a bug regarding oneiric hanging during boot (this is before X starts...  it's early enough that I can't boot to single user mode, but late enough I can boot to recovery mode).  To report a bug, I need to identify the package.    Any ideas?
[16:47] <jsschmid> It's a vserver, there is nothing I can change about that... I can't update the kernel....
[16:47] <ikonia> _sammy_: recovery mode is single user mode
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> jsschmid: what is the output of: lsb_release -a   use a pastebin to host
[16:47] <_sammy_> iknoia: it's *a* single user mode.  it's different that what you get from specifying "single" on the kernel command line.
[16:47] <ActionParsnip> jsschmid: https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=32598&forum=41
[16:48] <ikonia> _sammy_: it's the same thing
[16:48] <ikonia> _sammy_: there is just a wrapper
[16:48] <ikonia> _sammy_: disable bootsplash and see what process is hanging
[16:48] <Faralla> Hi. Can I switch to console-only mode in 11.10?
[16:48] <roadfish> MonkeyDust:thanks again ... adding gateway to eth0 got my two computer ping'ing each other. But now eth0 and ppp0 are in conflict.
[16:48] <jsschmid> http://tinypaste.com/813ee362
[16:48] <llutz> ActionParsnip: says nothing about the vps-system if thats the kernel of the openvz-node
[16:48] <roadfish> Good news, bad news. My two computers can ping each other after added a gateway line to eth0 /etc/network/interfaces.
[16:48] <roadfish> But, bad news: I use a dialup-modem (aka ppp0) to get online ... and my modem fails after adding eth0 gateway. For instance "ping gnu.org" gives "unknown host" ... until I remove the eth0 gateway line again.
[16:49] <Faralla> How can I shutdown X?
[16:49] <_sammy_> well, one works, the other doesn't.  fwiw, the last thing displayed is "fsck from util-linux 2.19.1".  I seriously doubt fsck is the problem, as the system boots if I set the bios to use the integrated intel graphics, and fails if I use the nvidia graphics.  I think the problem is near console-setup, but I can't actually nail it down.
[16:50] <pip__> cool, found some documentation.  Thanks again :)
[16:50] <Tony_> what is easier to install a tar.gz or tar.bz2
[16:50] <ikonia> _sammy_: there is a known problem with the intel/ati ones
[16:50] <ikonia> Tony_: they are the same file
[16:50] <ikonia> Tony_: just compressed differently
[16:50] <ikonia> _sammy_: sorry, intel/nvidia ones
[16:50] <_sammy_> nor, for that matter, can I find where console-setup (via setupcon?) is actually invoked.
[16:50] <MonkeyDust> roadfish  i'm not familiar with ppp0
[16:51] <jsschmid> ActionParsnip: Well, I can't update and I am about to change the hosting anyway ... so it's just that I would like to know what the problem could be, in case something like that happens some other time
[16:51] <ikonia> _sammy_: there are quite a few bugs logged against it, there is a kernel option you need to pass to get it to force intel (I think from memory)
[16:51] <jsschmid> ActionParsnip: http://tinypaste.com/813ee362
[16:51] <_sammy_> ikonia: interesting, that may be my bug, if it's a non-X-related crash.  also, I have an identical model laptop which does boot on the nvidia just fine.
[16:51] <ikonia> _sammy_: there is a ton of bugs against those cards
[16:51] <_sammy_> ikonia: erm, if I wanted to run with the intel graphics, I could force that in bios.
[16:51] <roadfish> MonkeyDust: bottom line is I want internet to go through ppp0 (dialup modem) but i want locat 192.168 to go through eth0 ... and they seem to be in conflict.
[16:52] <ikonia> _sammy_: many which have the same symptoms you suggest
[16:52] <ikonia> _sammy_: try it then, disable nvidia in the bios, see if it helps
[16:52] <wiggmpk> Alright, still having issues with my sound (finally got my speakers to work again) but my speakers wont mute when I plug in my headphones, any help would be awesome
[16:52] <_sammy_> iknoia: it does, it boots fine on the intel graphics
[16:52] <rootjedi> QUIT
[16:52] <ikonia> I have seen that bug before
[16:52] <_sammy_> as does natty on the nvidia
[16:52] <roadfish> I'm firing up some google queries but nothing is too obvious yet. So I'm poking around for search ideas and/or solutions (like using gateway).
[16:55] <_sammy_> ikonia: if you've got a pointer to an existing bug number, or even some helpful search terms, that would be great, I'm not seeing anything similar
[16:55] <ikonia> _sammy_: I've not got the bug numbers to hand, there should be quite a few though
[16:55] <ikonia> it's come up quite a few times
[16:55] <Tony_> anybody know of a good manual to turn tar.gz and tar.bz2 into .deb files
[16:55] <lokus> help? ive been using this machine via vnc for a while... and initially i gave it some command from terminal so that my initial vnc was a full blown ubuntu desktop. i need to use another server now and i'm trying to do the same thing... but it just keeps coming up in xterm and thats all

[17:01] <spaceneedle> Following Ubuntu 11.10 installation, I opened the dash and noticed a bunch of strange symbols. Same problem on the lts version with vlc player. Probably has to do with language packs.
[17:01] <roadfish> Who is this Nunt. Some weird spamming bot? But what does the "zxvna" etc mean ... anyting?
[17:01] <martian> Tony_: Well, to convert a tar.gz to a tar.bz2, simply gunzip the tar and the bzip2 it up, but a deb is more than just a file format; it's CONTENTS are what matters. I don't know how to create a deb personally, but there is lots of info on how to do so online.
[17:06] <theadmin> martian: A .deb is an ar archive, which contains stuff to be right into / in data.tar.gz (contained within it) and some instructions in other files. A rather difficult format.

[17:17] <ActionParsnip> msterbrewer: http://paste.ubuntu.com/801938/
[17:17] <ActionParsnip> msterbrewer: you need the driver deb, then the cupswraper deb
[17:17] <MonkeyDust> abhi_  should have mentioned that
[17:17] <EvilResistance> ^
[17:17] <msterbrewer> ok
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> msterbrewer: you need both for it to work. I recommend you install both files and delete any printers you tried to install, then reboot and it will detect and install it
[17:18] <abhi_> now i need something like this for ubuntu
[17:18] <msterbrewer> thanks
[17:18] <abhi_> as i'm using ubuntu 11.10
[17:18] <ActionParsnip> msif not then run throuh the add printer wizard as normal
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> msterbrewer: if you ask a question with no details, expect some questions back which you need to fill for us to help you and having to repeat ask is a little annoying ;)
[17:19] <msterbrewer> i know there was just a lag in the chat
[17:19] <ActionParsnip> msterbrewer: sweet
[17:19] <msterbrewer> so i didnt see your question till a while later
[17:20] <msterbrewer> its almost as annoying as a net split in irc
[17:21] <ActionParsnip> msterbrewer: could disconnect and reconnect
[17:21] <dssdsdds> yo
[17:21] <msterbrewer> the second part didnt work
[17:22] <msterbrewer> sec while i paste it
[17:22] <skypent> Is GnuPG available in either DASH or Ubuntu Software Center?;  I can't see to find it when using the search gpg, but it seems to have been a program built for every ubuntu version so far.
[17:23] <msterbrewer> http://paste.ubuntu.com/801944/
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> msterbrewer: you get the idea though, you need both files installing from the site
[17:23] <msterbrewer> ye
[17:23] <MonkeyDust> skypent  i think it's called seahorse
[17:23] <abv> ubuntu 11.10 i am on laptop my touch pad is stoping to work few after i book any help?
[17:23] <msterbrewer> why do you need both files
[17:23] <msterbrewer> just wondering
[17:23] <skypent> MonkeyDust; Thanks
[17:23] <ActionParsnip> msterbrewer: sudo mkdir -p /var/spool/lpd/MFC210C
[17:24] <ActionParsnip> msterbrewer: its how the drivers are, brother make them
[17:24] <msterbrewer> ok
[17:24] <MonkeyDust> abv  find gpoint something in the software center
[17:24] <ActionParsnip> msterbrewer: if the folder doesn't exist (if you read the output) then you would have known to make the folder yourself to humour it
[17:24] <SilfenX> how can I cd into a folder that says I dont have permission to?
[17:24] <msterbrewer> i cant read the otput
[17:24] <EvilResistance> SilfenX:  unless you're root, you cant really do that.
[17:24] <msterbrewer> i put it in like a monkey
[17:25] <EvilResistance> SilfenX:  if you dont have read rights on the folder, you cant.  if its your own folder you cant access you've got a problem
[17:25] <ActionParsnip> msterbrewer: the second file borked for some reason, but you know the site to go to, so you can grab it#
[17:25] <sfsf32> it should be illegal to be a nerd
[17:25] <msterbrewer> yep
[17:25] <msterbrewer> im going to it now
[17:26] <msterbrewer> installing printers is a pain on windows and on linux
[17:27] <pensfan> anyone have problems with ubuntu systems randomly shutting down?
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> sfsf32: nerds make your facebook work
[17:27] <msterbrewer> why cant they just be plug and play
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> msterbrewer: because the driver database needed would be collossol
[17:27] <sfsf32> ActionParsnip, i don't use facebook
[17:27] <ActionParsnip> sfsf32: and your email and code your OS
[17:27] <MonkeyDust> sfsf32  don't make fun of nerds, in a fe years from now, they could be your boss
[17:27] <MonkeyDust> few*
[17:28] <auronandace> !offtopic
[17:28] <ActionParsnip> people say the dumbest things
[17:28] <sfsf32> this is because my email and my os sucks
[17:28] <abhi_> hello?
[17:28] <Cyrus> ActionParsnip: As opposed to gerbils?
[17:28] <abhi_> isn't there any such tool for linux?
[17:28] <msterbrewer> heres a bright idea put a tiny solid state driver on the printer and it install from that
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> abhi_: to do what? I don't see the first half of the question
[17:29] <msterbrewer> but that would be smart
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> msterbrewer: 3G modems do that, causes all kinds of annoyance in Linux
[17:29] <abhi_> ActionParsnip: i just want to monitor online activities of the users of my home network
[17:29] <ActionParsnip> abhi_: like a list of sites?
[17:29] <msterbrewer> i guess
[17:29] <abhi_> ActionParsnip: yes, browsing history
[17:30] <msterbrewer> glad i dont have a 3g modem
[17:30] <theadmin> abhi_: Umm, that's kind of illegal. Privacy, anyone?...
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> abhi_: you could create a proxy and log the activities, then have all web traffic go via your proxy
[17:30] <Cyrus> Illegal? It's not illegal. That's silly.
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: not if it's your own home LAN with your own PCs
[17:30] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: not illegal in the slightest
[17:31] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: how is it illegal
[17:31] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Hm, well, he said "users of my home network", probably meaning other people... Looking at what others do, ESPECIALLY without their agreement to it... At the very least is not polite.
[17:31] <abhi_> theadmin: it's not illegal, sometimes we need to use such tools in office for our own safety
[17:31] <Cyrus> Sure, it's skeezy. But it's not illegal.
[17:32] <abv> MonkeyDust i installed the gpoint my touch pad stilldoesnt work
[17:32] <TheBuntu> alt+f2 is not working to restart gnome shell
[17:32] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: helps adults to watch what their kids are looking at too
[17:32] <abhi_> ActionParsnip: agreed
[17:34] <MonkeyDust> abv  scroll down: http://www.linuxlinks.com/Software/Monitoring/Network/
[17:34] <kantlivelong> yay! a fork of gnome2 has been made :)
[17:34] <MonkeyDust> abhi_   scroll down: http://www.linuxlinks.com/Software/Monitoring/Network/
[17:34] <MonkeyDust> kantlivelong  cinnamon?
[17:34] <kantlivelong> MonkeyDust: MATE? They should just fork gnome3 and fix its crappyness
[17:35] <auronandace> kantlivelong: that is what cinnamon is
[17:35] <abv> MonkeyDust : ?
[17:35] <budmang> trying to boot off the 11.10 cd and "try ubuntu" it just hangs after pressing try....
[17:35] <MonkeyDust> abv  wrong nick, i was addressing abhi_
[17:35] <abv> kkk
[17:35] <budmang> what could I be missing? or disable maybe/
[17:35]  * theadmin thinks everyone annoyed with gnome3 should switch to XFCE and sees no difference whatsoever between her current xfce setup and the old gnome2 one.
[17:35] <zagibu> budmang: how long have you given it time?
[17:35] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: +1
[17:36] <budmang> id say almost 10 minutes now...
[17:36]  * ActionParsnip thinks LXDE under GTK3 is sweeeet
[17:36] <zagibu> 's a bit long, yeah
[17:37] <abhi_> MonkeyDust: thanks, found many useful tools
[17:38] <mrtc> Hi there! I'm running ubuntu under VirtualBox and have mounted a shared folder with a sudo mount command. Is there somewhere I can put this command to auto run on boot?
[17:38] <sfsf32> why all of you talk nonsense? and why those strange acronyms used?
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> mrtc: in /etc/rc.local   above the exit 0 line will do it
[17:38] <ActionParsnip> sfsf32: which acronyms?
[17:38] <mrtc> ActionParsnip: perfect, thanks!
[17:38] <sfsf32> lxde, gtk, ecc...
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> sfsf32: lxde is a name, gtk is short for Gnome Tool Kit, it is very understood in the Linux world. It's like VAT and such
[17:39] <auronandace> sfsf32: every area of expertise has jargon
[17:39] <theadmin> sfsf32: Those are commonly known. Nobody wants to say "GIMP Toolkit" or "Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment"
[17:39] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: btw, GTK is "GIMP Toolkit", not "GNOME".
[17:39] <sfsf32> VAT?
[17:39] <ActionParsnip> dang
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> sfsf32: value added tax..
[17:40] <sfsf32> hmm
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> sfsf32: are you about 14 years old?
[17:40] <auronandace> sfsf32: how old are you?
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> auronandace: snap
[17:40] <sfsf32> i'm 30
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> wow
[17:40] <ActionParsnip> sfsf32: when you pay for goods and services you pay tax, when you get a wage, you pay tax. Have you never noticed this?
[17:40] <ssta> probably american.  read VAT as "sales tax"?
[17:41] <pangolin> How is this Ubuntu related?
[17:41] <sfsf32> ActionParsnip, here almost noone pay taxes, so i don't know
[17:41] <msterbrewer> i pay taxes...
[17:41] <theadmin> pangolin: In no way at all.
[17:41] <theadmin> Okay okay, guys and girls, please stop the offtopic talk
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> sfsf32: wel I'm sure you have acronynms in your life
[17:41] <ActionParsnip> sfsf32: here is a rundown of lxde (back on topic) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LXDE
[17:42] <pangolin> Please get back to Ubuntu support. #ubuntu-offtopic will gladly entertain other subjects.
[17:42] <sfsf32> ok, thank you
[17:42] <sfsf32> is "ok" an acronym?
[17:43] <theadmin> sfsf32: Yeah, used to stand for "Oll Korrekt", from broken English. But once again, this is offtopic, please do NOT talk about subjects not related to Ubuntu support issues here.
[17:43] <sfsf32> oh so you was right, i use acronyms too
[17:44] <msterbrewer> how do i install a .gz file on ubuntu
[17:44] <EvilResistance> msterbrewer:  is it a .tar.gz ?
[17:44] <budmang> any way to see a verbose mode in bootnig up from a cd? see wth is taking so long?
[17:44] <msterbrewer> yes
[17:45] <jutnux> msterbrewer: tar -xvzf filename.tar.gz
[17:45] <jutnux> msterbrewer: cd filename
[17:45] <msterbrewer> thanks
[17:45] <jutnux> msterbrewer: ./configure
[17:45] <EvilResistance> msterbrewer:  you extract the information in the .tar.gz first, you dont usually *install* directly from a tar.gz
[17:45] <jutnux> msterbrewer: make
[17:45] <theadmin> budmang: Add "nosplash noquiet" to the kernel line
[17:45] <jutnux> msterbrewer: sudo make install
[17:45] <EvilResistance> msterbrewer:  you do have to do the commands which jutnux stated, or read the installation guide for the program (there sould be one from the devs)
[17:45] <auronandace> !compile | msterbrewer
[17:45] <msterbrewer> ok
[17:45] <budmang> theadmin: I dont think I see grub when booting from it but let me check again.
[17:45] <msterbrewer> hopefully i can find a .deb file
[17:46] <Jimu> I'm asking here and #vbox, I'm trying to use 3D Acceleration in VirtualBox with Ubuntu 11.10, and I'm getting this result: http://static.inky.ws/image/1110/image.jpg
[17:46] <EvilResistance> msterbrewer:  what program if i might ask?
[17:46] <theadmin> budmang: You need to hold LeftShift while booting for GRUB to appear (after your BIOS POST is gone)
[17:46] <msterbrewer> Hamachi
[17:46] <EvilResistance> msterbrewer:  why do you want hamachi on Ubuntu?
[17:46] <msterbrewer> to be able to use logmein
[17:46] <olit> how do i install new kernel, without disturbing old configuration?
[17:47] <theadmin> msterbrewer: Why do you need that, exactly?
[17:47] <msterbrewer> the version for linux uses Hamachi
[17:47] <ActionParsnip> olit: that happens a ot with normal updates
[17:47] <theadmin> msterbrewer: I understand. Do you use logmein for... what? Remote control? If so I suggest you try teamviewer which has a more-or-less native Linux version
[17:48] <EvilResistance> msterbrewer:  https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/haguichi  <--
[17:48] <msterbrewer> thanks
[17:48] <EvilResistance> ther'es a PPA :P
[17:48] <ActionParsnip> Jimu: does 2D work ok?
[17:48] <anynickname> msterbrewer: or you can try the join.me website (it's made by the logmein team)
[17:48] <auronandace> theadmin: you realise teamviewer is essentially a wine applicating that ships with its own version of wine
[17:48] <EvilResistance> msterbrewer:  cant guarantee anything though
[17:48] <Jimu> ActionParsnip: sure does
[17:48] <auronandace> application
[17:49] <ActionParsnip> Jimu: I'd use that for now
[17:49] <theadmin> auronandace: I know
[17:49] <theadmin> auronandace: Still works well :P
[17:49] <auronandace> theadmin: works well yes, but hardly what i'd call more-or-less native
[17:50] <Jimu> ActionParsnip: if you saw the screenshot, does that look like Ubuntu issue or VBox/Host issue?
[17:50] <theadmin> auronandace: They did change the code in order for it to work with Wine though. Cut out some features which were broken, etc.
[17:50] <anynickname> msterbrewer: but if you really want hamachi on Linux, here, https://secure.logmein.com/labs/
[17:51] <ActionParsnip> Jimu: ubuntu will use the hardware given, so I'd check settings etc
[17:52] <ActionParsnip> Jimu: anything on the vbox forum?
[17:52] <mf|laptop> Hello, anyone got any tips for fixing graphics on an Intel inbuilt laptop graphics card. Anything too graphics based comes up with weird images and seems to go through transparent
[17:52] <mf|laptop> 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[17:53] <Jimu> ActionParsnip: not much in their forums. my guess is vbox. thanks for taking a look!
[17:53] <savage2005> how do i switch file systems in command line
[17:53] <ActionParsnip> savage2005: from what to what?
[17:53] <theadmin> savage2005: Huh? That doesn't even make sense.
[17:54] <savage2005> sorry, i want to get into another hard drive or my thumb drive
[17:54] <ActionParsnip> savage2005: then you'll need to mount it, should be listed in the left panel of nautilus
[17:54] <theadmin> savage2005: You need to use "mount" to attach them to a directory, then "cd" into that directory.
[17:55] <theadmin> savage2005: For instance - mount /dev/sda5 /mnt ; cd /mnt
[17:55] <jutnux> theadmin: Presumably he is using a GUI, don't confuse him ;-)
[17:55] <theadmin> jutnux: He said "command line"
[17:55] <savage2005> haha ya gui is easy im trying to get familiar with command line
[17:55]  * jutnux facepalms
[17:55] <jutnux> Sorry.
[17:56] <savage2005> jutnux: np ;-)
[17:57] <ActionParsnip> !mount
[18:01] <zeref> Hi guys, I'm having trouble setting up my ICS, i followed the instruction @ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing using the gateways method. I just want to ask what should my /etc/network/interfaces file look like. this is what i've tried so far:
[18:01] <zeref> http://pastebin.com/31QC2iaV
[18:02] <dabukalam> exit
[18:02] <savage2005> theadmin: can i view devices that are able to be mounted through command line?
[18:02] <MonkeyDust> zeref  same to you: there's no gateway
[18:03] <Factran> hello I want to launch VLC without it to have the focus, is there a way ?
[18:03] <theadmin> savage2005: Uh, pretty much, hm... "sudo fdisk -l"
[18:03] <zeref> MonkeyDust: ??
[18:03] <savage2005> theadmin: awesome this is exactly what i was looking for thanks!
[18:04] <MonkeyDust> zeref  address and netmak, ok, but you have to add the gateway address, too
[18:04] <MonkeyDust> netmask*
[18:04] <zeref> MonkeyDust: on the client PC and Host?
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> Factran: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/400/
[18:04] <mongy> Having trouble mounting the partitions in an lvm encrypted drive, says unmounable.  It unlocks the encrypted part but I cant see/mount any of the lvm partitions inside.  Any ideas?
[18:04] <ActionParsnip> Factran: http://askubuntu.com/questions/8494/prevent-windows-from-stealing-focus
[18:05] <MonkeyDust> zeref yes
[18:05] <LadyGorey> Hi.
[18:05] <Qualia> Hi  ! Is it possible to assign different chrome applications for different chrome user accs ?
[18:05] <LadyGorey> Could someone please help me? I'm having some issues using my external hard drive.
[18:06] <MonkeyDust> LadyGorey  shoot
[18:06] <Qualia> ill prolly have to explain it further
[18:06] <Qualia> =/
[18:06] <Qualia> oh btw, i ask it for UNITY
[18:06] <LadyGorey> Okay so I found some walkthroughs in the forums with the same problem that I have (which is that I have an external harddrive that's formatted for Mac, but I can't access a Mac right now so I'm using Ubuntu instead)
[18:07] <LadyGorey> and it says I don't have permission to move files around on the hard drive
[18:07] <LadyGorey> I tried to fiddle around with stuff in Terminal and it didn't work
[18:07] <theadmin> LadyGorey: Might need to be root... Try: gksu nautilus
[18:07] <theadmin> LadyGorey: Bad idea generally, don't abuse that too much
[18:07] <zeref> MonkeyDust: k, umm wlan0 is on 192.168.1.xxx and eth0 is on 192.168.0.xxx what should the gateway be?
[18:07] <LadyGorey> It keeps saying "Operation not permitted"
[18:08] <MonkeyDust> zeref  i guess your router, <IP_ADDRESS> or so
[18:08] <theadmin> LadyGorey: Wait, HFS+?... idk if Linux supports writing to that.
[18:08] <theadmin> Since it's a weird filesystem, might be not...
[18:08] <LadyGorey> I dunno I'm not super savvy when it comes to commands in termainl
[18:08] <LadyGorey> terminal**
[18:08] <MonkeyDust> zeref, in a terminal, type dig, check the server address
[18:09] <theadmin> LadyGorey: Well, type "gksu nautilus" in a terminal right now (without quotes) and see if it works for you
[18:09] <LadyGorey> I tried that, lemme show you what it said
[18:09] <MonkeyDust> nautilus as root :s
[18:09] <kantlivelong> heh cinnamon looks good so far.. gonan try it
[18:09] <LadyGorey> and now it won't let me send
[18:10] <LadyGorey> guest-tUIouN@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ gksu nautilus

[18:10] <LadyGorey> there
[18:10] <auronandace> !paste | LadyGorey
[18:10] <LadyGorey> Sorry
[18:10] <theadmin> LadyGorey: Okay, you have no admin rights, I take it.
[18:10] <LadyGorey> I haven't used IRC in a very, very long time.
[18:10] <LadyGorey> Yeah, you're right, admin.
[18:10] <LadyGorey> I can't even get into the admin portal on here, I don't think. I had to logon Ubuntu as a guest for now.
[18:10] <ssta> LadyGorey: (a) don't flood, use a pastebin; (b) you need to install gtk2-engines-pixbuf
[18:11] <theadmin> LadyGorey: Not much you can really do then... Actually nothing at all, mainly because you can't remount the drive properly without being an admin
[18:11] <zeref> MonkeyDust: k, just to confirm, that server addr should go into eth0 config for both client and host?
[18:11] <LadyGorey> If I can login as admin should it all work?
[18:11] <MonkeyDust> zeref  yes, there is only 1 (default) gateway
[18:12] <theadmin> LadyGorey: Basically, at least then we can diagnose the problem further...
[18:12] <LadyGorey> Okay I'll try that and I'll be back, thanks
[18:13] <gr33n7007h> how do u make a linux partition and swap partition
[18:13] <MonkeyDust> gr33n7007h  depends on how skilled you are
[18:13] <gr33n7007h> using gparted
[18:13] <auronandace> !partition | gr33n7007h
[18:14] <Factran> ActionParsnip, thanks, I'll get work around with your links
[18:14] <budmang> whats the live cd "su" password
[18:15] <MonkeyDust> budmang  there is none
[18:16] <budmang> Ive got 2 drives that were in an LVM... im trying to pull the data off them.. any easy way off the ubuntu live boot? ussually the drives are just mounted..
[18:16] <budmang> Im assuming the lvm makes it not mount?
[18:16] <iceroot> budmang: i dont think there is a root-account enabled on live-cd
[18:16] <iceroot> !sudo | budmang
[18:17] <theadmin> budmang: There's no "root" account on Ubuntu (well, there is but it's locked out by default), you must use "sudo -i" rather than "su"
[18:17] <egc> hi, i am trying to list the metadata of a .deb with "ar -x foo.deb", but it's not listing anything for a couple of sample .debs.  Any ideas why?
[18:18] <sudipta> recently i have installed kubuntu 11.10 and have ubuntu11.10.But when i logged into ubuntu my hard disk partition does not show up in the nautilus. How will I get it back?
[18:18] <esmirlin> hi everyone! does somebody use tomahawk or/and skype wrapper?
[18:19] <MonkeyDust> sudipta  does it show in mount?
[18:19] <theadmin> egc: Cause you don't need a - before "x"
[18:19] <krumme> hey i have instal ubuntu from af ubunto.exe on a vist and now i try to remove the win but i cant can some one tell me why
[18:19] <MonkeyDust> sudipta  I rephrase that: in a terminal, type mount, do you see the partition
[18:19] <theadmin> krumme: Because you installed Ubuntu from Windows, you can't remove Windows that way... :/
[18:20] <theadmin> krumme: You need to do a proper install.
[18:20] <iceroot> krumme: i dont think that is possible because ubuntu is installed on the windows-drive
[18:20] <kantlivelong> is MATE==Cinnamon?
[18:20] <krumme> oki thanx
[18:20] <egc> theadmin, thanks for the suggestion...tried it, and got the same result
[18:20] <theadmin> kantlivelong: No. Mate is gnome2.
[18:20] <auronandace> kantlivelong: no, mate is a gnome2 fork, cinnamon is a gnome3 fork
[18:21] <kantlivelong> ah ah i was just confused by LinuxMints page (since they made cinnamon)
[18:21] <kantlivelong> Cinnamon looks like the way to go w/ gnome3
[18:21] <theadmin> kantlivelong: Mate is a gnome2 fork started by the ArchLinux team. Basically identical to gnome2. Cinnamon is a GNOME3 fork by the LinuxMint team. Made to make gnome3 friendlier.
[18:22] <kantlivelong> hopefully ubuntu adopts it
[18:22] <kantlivelong> Cinnamon that is :P
[18:22] <kantlivelong> though i doubt it :(
[18:22] <gr33n7007h> when is 12.04 out?
[18:23] <lowkie> Could someone point me to a multi-site configuration of postfix?  site a, b, c all have local servers.  The send thought a public server d.
[18:23] <MonkeyDust> gr33n7007h  april
[18:23] <anynickname> is there an easy way to make a bash script an executable binary, so I can send it to friends without having to explain all the chmod +x thing?
[18:23] <auronandace> gr33n7007h: the clue is in the name, 2012 april
[18:23] <trism> egc: dpkg-deb -e package.deb; will extract the control information to a directory named DEBIAN in the current directory (-x to get the files installed, -c to list them, doesn't seem to be a switch to list the control data)
[18:24] <gr33n7007h> cheers  :)
[18:24] <MonkeyDust> anynickname  chmod +x and then send it
[18:24] <zeref> MonkeyDust: hmmmm, just restarted the network got and error SIOCADDRT: no such process, failesd to bring up eth0
[18:24] <zeref> MonkeyDust: the gateway ip is 208.xxx.xxx.xxx is that right
[18:25] <MonkeyDust> zeref  do you use a router at home?
[18:25] <zeref> MonkeyDust: shouldn't it be <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:25] <egc> trism, cool, that solves at least part of the problem... able to see the control file now
[18:25] <MonkeyDust> zeref  yes, that's what i said earlier
[18:25] <zeref> MonkeyDust: i'm at res, so i dont have access to it
[18:26] <MonkeyDust> at res?
[18:26] <zeref> MonkeyDust: Campus residence
[18:27] <Tony_> is there a program that will open a read a tar.bz2 file in winxp
[18:27] <MonkeyDust> Tony_  wrong channel
[18:27] <Johanler> winrar
[18:27] <auronandace> Tony_: 7zip
[18:27] <theadmin> Tony_: Many archivers do so... peazip for instance. Or 7-zip.
[18:27] <Tony_> thankyou
[18:28] <anynickname> MonkeyDust: taht does not work, if I chmod +x, and then put it online for them to download, it loses it's executable state
[18:29] <RamtinA> how can i use socks in ubuntu?
[18:29] <budmang>  mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'
[18:30] <MonkeyDust> anynickname  must be for security reasons
[18:30] <ssta> anynickname: that's because the web (or email) doesn't understand unix permissions.
[18:30] <Betara> hi. how can i give executable permissions to another user from root? lets say i need to authorize user 'Betara' to run 'Executable' which is now as -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root
[18:31] <sudipta> MonkeyDust:sry  4 the delay :)
[18:31] <MonkeyDust> anynickname  i mean, that way, files cannot be executed automatically on download, like in windows
[18:31] <longcat> anyone can execute that binary
[18:31] <longcat> that last r-x is "other" or global
[18:32] <anynickname> MonkeyDust and ssta: yes, but now I'm back to square one, I still need a way to do it, I've read about "shc", but it appears to not be in the repositories
[18:32] <ssta> never heard of "shc".  Is saying "you need to chmod +x it" that onerous?
[18:32] <theadmin> Betara: You might want to look up ACL. Also, UNIX usernames can't have capital letters.
[18:32] <ssta> if they type "sh foo.sh" that will run it whether it's executable or not
[18:33] <longcat> uh he doesnt need to +x it...
[18:33] <sudipta> MonkeyDust, :i have pasted the output on pastebin
[18:33] <theadmin> ssta: Not always. Only if "foo.sh" is an actual sh script.
[18:33] <Betara> theadmin, that's only as an example. what's ACL?
[18:33] <sudipta> MonkeyDust:http://pastebin.com/1jWEJMEu
[18:33] <MonkeyDust> sudipta  then paste the url here
[18:33] <sudipta> MonkeyDust: http://pastebin.com/1jWEJMEu
[18:34] <LadyGorey> Okay I'm back. Still needing help with accessing my external hard drive and changing permissions.
[18:34] <ssta> theadmin: I thought he said it was a script already?  Maybe I misunderstood
[18:34] <longcat> what am i missing here?  that has sufficient permissions for anyone to execute
[18:34] <anynickname> ssta: believe me, for someone who never used the terminal, it's pretty difficult to make them understand, I went as far as making a video, once
[18:34] <ssta> anynickname: hehe, fair enough
[18:34] <MonkeyDust> sudipta  what was your initial question again?
[18:34] <sdferfx> Anyone know a good alternative to Gnome's Cheese photobooth clone?
[18:34] <sudipta> recently i have installed kubuntu 11.10 and have ubuntu11.10.But when i logged into ubuntu my hard disk partition does not show up in the nautilus. How will I get it back?
[18:34] <theadmin> Betara: ACL is Access Control Lists, allowing you to set permission on a per-user/per-group basis, say "user1 may read, write and execute, user2 may read and write, and group1 may only read, everyone else may not access" will be recorded as "u:user1:rwx u:user2:rw g:group1:r o::" in ACL.
[18:34] <iceroot> how to find out why "dist-upgrade" wants to remove a package?
[18:35] <LadyGorey> What was I supposed to type into terminal again?
[18:35] <rymate1234> can anyone recommend a tool to convert mp3 files
[18:35] <rymate1234> for ubuntu
[18:35] <theadmin> rymate1234: Convert into what?
[18:35] <iceroot> rymate1234: to what?
[18:35] <sdferfx> iceroot, usually because the package has been renamed/replaced or the dependency are no longer in the distribution
[18:35] <ssta> rymate1234: ffmpeg?
[18:35] <dajhorn> iceroot: Which package?
[18:35] <MonkeyDust> sudipta  what's the output from df -h? pastebinit it again
[18:35] <sdferfx> try searching for the package name on ubuntu packages to find out specifically?
[18:35] <sudipta> MonkeyDust, :i have the partition earlier but now, after installing kubuntu 11.10 it's just gone
[18:35] <rymate1234> anything
[18:35] <iceroot> sdferfx: no, i am searching for the package which is causing it
[18:35] <rymate1234> an audio converter tool
[18:35] <iceroot> dajhorn: evolution-exchange
[18:35] <cwolf233> running gnome - can someone help me instructions to install a game through wine? none of what i found on the net makes sense or works for me
[18:35] <z0ned> where do i go to see my smtp config?
[18:36] <theadmin> rymate1234: Try winff (GUI) or ffmpeg (terminal)
[18:36] <dajhorn> iceroot: Are you doing a dist-upgrade into precise?   Which version?
[18:36] <iceroot> dajhorn: i am doing it on 12.04
[18:36] <sudipta> MonkeyDust: http://pastebin.com/UPUp4GDv
[18:36] <iceroot> dajhorn: but the ubuntu-version does not matter
[18:36] <Betara> theadmin, ok, thank you. i only need to give executable permission to me or to the group 'somegroup'.
[18:37] <sudipta> the partition label was 'DOCUMENT', ntfs format
[18:37] <ssta> iceroot: maybe apt-cache showpkg, which gives all the reverse-dependencies might shed some light?
[18:37] <LadyGorey> O.o
[18:37] <MonkeyDust> sudipta  idd, only one partition, that's odd, what's the output from sudo fdisk -l (don't forget sudo)
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> cwolf233: is the game on a CD? What is the game?
[18:37] <rymate1234> theadmin: I was looking for a gui tool
[18:38] <theadmin> rymate1234: winff then
[18:38] <dajhorn> iceroot: Yes, it does matter.  This glitch happens frequently on ubuntu+1 during library upgrades.  Just wait until the mirror that you are using is fully sync'd.
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> rymate1234: converting from MP3 to lossy formats will reduce quality
[18:39] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: There are lossless formats though. Flac for instance.
[18:39] <sudipta> MonkeyDust:  http://pastebin.com/EUatfywm
[18:39] <Betara> theadmin, is it possible by command line to add a group to that executable file, keeping root with normal permissions as they are now?
[18:39] <pip__> hello, my xterm has no scroll bars & I'm using a "nipple" (unfortunate term I know...) not a mouse with a wheel.  What do I have to do to get scrollbars?
[18:39] <iceroot> dajhorn: if the mirror is not fully synced i would get an hashsum-missmatch because packages.gz is not matching the deb-files
[18:39] <cwolf233> the game is saved to my laptop
[18:40] <ssta> Betara: chown :somegroup filename; chmod 750 filename
[18:40] <theadmin> Betara: Uh yes, see the manual of "setfacl"...
[18:40] <cwolf233> the .exe file that is
[18:40] <MonkeyDust> sudipta  great, we're getting somewhere, you see the partition, you just have to mount them, either manually or in /etc/fstab
[18:40] <iceroot> ssta: thank you i will have a look at it
[18:40] <LadyGorey> Is there anyone who can walk me through accessing my external hard drive again?
[18:40] <theadmin> Betara: You need to mount the filesystem with ACL support though. Or just change the owning group
[18:40] <Betara> ssta Thank You!
[18:41] <pdayton1> why does the ubuntu download site recommend the 32 bit release?
[18:41] <pip__> I'll try again
[18:41] <MonkeyDust> sudipta  in a terminal: mkdir blah and then sudo mount /dev/sda5 blah
[18:41] <ActionParsnip> cwolf233: if the file is held on your linux partition, you can mark it as executable with:  chmod +x Setup.exe   (change the filename as needed), then run:   wine ./Setup.exe     The commands are VERY case sensitive too
[18:41] <theadmin> pdayton1: Cause  the 32-bit architecture is more widely supported
[18:41] <sudipta> how to do it with fstab? can u please help
[18:41] <ssta> pdayton1: it does?  I thought they changed to recommend the 64bit now?
[18:41] <iceroot> pdayton1: it will changed for 12.04 to amd64
[18:41] <dajhorn> pdayton1: And because the proprietary things like Flash and Skype are more reliable on 32-bit.
[18:41] <pip__> My xterm has no scroll bars what do I have to do to get them?
[18:41] <MonkeyDust> !fstab| sudipta
[18:42] <pip__> I'm not using a mouse, just one of those funky buttons in the keyboard
[18:42] <pdayton1> thanks dajhorn
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: oh absolutely, just warning of bad ideas
[18:42] <dajhorn> pdayton1: Welcome.  This might change for the 12.04 release.   64-bit as the advertised default.
[18:42] <Guest31464> how i can change permission to editing my autorun file ? is sudo chmod 444 and sudo chmod 004 is god idea?
[18:42] <sudipta> does an entry in fstab ensure that the partition will be mounted automatically on start up?
[18:42] <Guest31464> *good
[18:42] <ActionParsnip> dajhorn: not had an issue in 64bit with either, there are 64bit versions of both
[18:42] <Tony_> anybody good with installing tar.bz2 files
[18:42] <iceroot> sudipta: yes
[18:43] <LadyGorey> I'm super afraid I'll hurt my computer/hard drive if I attempt this myself
[18:43] <Jasonn> Tony_: what do you mean installing?
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> Guest31464: do you own the file?
[18:43] <ssta> Tony_: tar.bz2 is just an archive
[18:43] <MonkeyDust> sudipta  first do it manually, so you see what happens: mkdir NTFS and then sudo mount /dev/sda5 NTFS
[18:43] <dajhorn> ActionParsnip: The packaging for 32-bit is better.  No nsplugin wrapper either.  Better PulseAudio support.
[18:43] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Sorry?
[18:43] <skypent> anyone had experience with verifying pgp signatures using seahorse?
[18:43] <ActionParsnip> dajhorn: there is native flash 64bit, it is released and in the partner repo
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: just warning users of converting lossy to lossy, that's all
[18:44] <Tony_> jasonn, getting the archive to work.
[18:44] <dajhorn> ActionParsnip: It wasn't there for a long time.  I was the guy running the 64-bit PPA for it.
[18:44] <iceroot> !anyone | skypent
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> dajhorn: nice!!!
[18:44] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Ah... Yeah that's a bad idea :D
[18:44] <ssta> Tony_: tar jxvf foo.tar.bz2
[18:44] <cwolf233> ActionParsnip: thanks!
[18:44] <Jasonn> Tony_: tar zjf (file name
[18:44] <ssta> or whatever the gui archive tool is called will do it
[18:44] <Guest31464> ActionParsnip: yes
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> dajhorn: yeah if you enable the partner repo and instal adobe-installer you will get 32bit or 64bit depending on the ubuntu arch
[18:44] <Jasonn> xjf *
[18:44] <ActionParsnip> Guest31464: then why sudo if you are the owner?
[18:45] <dajhorn> ActionParsnip: And Adobe was a bit unreliable in keeping their 64-bit build updated.   They would go weeks with known vulnerabilities.
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> dajhorn: your ppa was the bom dude
[18:45] <skypent> iceroot: that was the real question....
[18:45] <skypent> iceroot: that's as specific as the question would ever get...
[18:45] <maginot> howdy.
[18:45] <dajhorn> ActionParsnip: Thanks...  I think that the partner repo getting updated is probably why they're going 64-bit default.  Just a guess.
[18:45] <Guest31464> ActionParsnip: sory. may be i dont know good about permissions and cant correct answer to your question(
[18:46] <sudipta> MonkeyDust: it works fine......except one thing that i can not move anything to trash
[18:47] <ActionParsnip> dajhorn: its released now so is in the repos and that
[18:47] <iceroot> skypent: ok, the answer is yes. so the question is answered
[18:47] <iceroot> skypent: and now you will see you have a REAL question which it "how does it work"
[18:47] <MonkeyDust> sudipta  \o/ glad you're helped
[18:47] <sudipta> MonkeyDust: thanks a lot :)
[18:48] <Guest31464> ActionParsnip: i try to make some permission to autostart file im my usb-drive for usind in windows pc with spyware,virus and other..
[18:48] <skypent> iceroot: i just wondered if anyone had; that's great to hear other people had also done that thing.  thanks, bud.
[18:48] <theadmin> iceroot: Come on, don't... (s)he did ask the real question in the same line, anyway...
[18:48] <pip__> Xterm scrollbars...how do I get them please?
[18:48] <theadmin> pip__: It doesn't HAVE any. Use pageup/pagedown to scroll
[18:48] <iceroot> theadmin: yes??? [19:43]   skypent | anyone had experience with verifying pgp signatures using seahorse?
[18:48] <theadmin> pip__: Or use a normal terminal.
[18:49] <ActionParsnip> Guest31464: then make an autorun.inf file and windows will use it
[18:49] <theadmin> iceroot: Yeah... "how to verify pgp signatures using seahorse" is the real question, it's pretty obvious from here :D
[18:49] <pip__> lol, I've installed lxterminal, didn;t think of page up or down, thanks :)
[18:49] <iceroot> [19:47]   iceroot | skypent: and now you will see you have a REAL question which it "how does it work"
[18:49] <maginot> what a mess …
[18:50] <pip__> I tried +, - & many such combos to no avail, thanks again
[18:50] <iceroot> theadmin: maybe its just the ^anyone*
[18:50] <Guest31464> ActionParsnii want to make permission than  block editing of this file.
[18:50] <Mindkontrol> Hello everyone
[18:50] <theadmin> iceroot: Indeed, well.
[18:50] <Guest31464> ActionParsnip: i want to make permission than  block editing of this file.
[18:51] <theadmin> iceroot: It's not like those questions which are like "anyone has any experience with bash?", because that doesn't even have a hint of the real question.
[18:51] <iceroot> theadmin: i just see ^anyone* and i put !anyone by a reflex :)
[18:51] <iceroot> skypent: so sorry for that
[18:51] <theadmin> iceroot: lol oh, I see now
[18:51] <theadmin> iceroot: Also if you are using a regex it's gonna be "^anyone.*"
[18:52] <Mindkontrol> Hey, I am pretty new to linux, and i am unsure of how to deal with "source" code programs. on this page are 3 programs i need, but the direct link doesnt seem to download something i can use, and im not sure what to do with the guys source code in the text file http://blog.mx17.net/2011/08/howto-root-your-xperia-x10-mini-pro.html
[18:52] <iceroot> theadmin: much to late to think in correct regex :)
[18:52] <pip__> thanks & bye for now
[18:53] <Tony_> after the file has been decompressed using tar -jxvf foo   then what
[18:53] <Tony_> where does the bz2 file need to go...it is wcid
[18:53] <ssta> Tony_: dunno...it depends on what's in there
[18:54] <ssta> Tony_: think of .tar.bz2 as "the same kind of thing as .zip"
[18:54] <theadmin> Tony_: You want "sudo apt-get install wicd", not source-code of wicd :P
[18:54] <bitpimp> I'm trying to use an external monitor on 11.10 and unity; when I increase the resolution above 1024X768 I get:
[18:54] <bitpimp> requested position/size for CRTC 148 is outside the allowed limit: position=(1920, 0), size=(1280, 720), maximum=(3120, 1920)
[18:55] <Tony_> theadmin, internet not working on ubuntu 10.04 lts
[18:55] <bitpimp> I'm assuming I have to increase something, somewhere.
[18:55] <theadmin> Tony_: I see, well, go to packages.ubuntu.com and grab the deb then
[18:56] <Tony_> theadmin, perfect thx
[18:56] <bitpimp> *increase the res of the external monitor, that is
[18:57] <Mindkontrol> Hey, I am pretty new to linux, and i am unsure of how to deal with "source" code programs. on this page are 3 programs i need, but the direct link doesnt seem to download something i can use, and im not sure what to do with the guys source code in the text file http://blog.mx17.net/2011/08/howto-root-your-xperia-x10-mini-pro.html
[18:58] <theadmin> Mindkontrol: Normally the archives have a "README" file in them. Or a "INSTALL". Read those and they'll contain instructions for the specific programs.
[18:58] <mang0> !compile > Mindkontrol
[18:58] <mang0> I think
[18:59] <datruth> I've install virtualbox and windows 7-32bit and now in windows 7 I have no sound, no network how can I fix this?
[18:59] <theadmin> datruth: We don't support Windows.
[18:59] <nanobyte> datruth #vbox or ##windows maybe helpful
[19:00] <nanobyte> I'd imagine the former more so
[19:00] <bitpimp> any ideas on my monitor issue?
[19:00] <datruth> thx
[19:00] <ActionPa1snip> Mindkontrol: its a simple case of copying the files over, nothing to hard. Are there youtube videos on how to?
[19:01] <gentoofan> I am right now running an amd64 Ubuntu 11.10 LiveCD and I am trying to install the zfs-linux package from: https://launchpad.net/~rlaager/+archive/ppa/+packages - unfortunately, apt-get tells me that it cannot find it. Does anyone have any suggesetions?
[19:01] <ActionPa1snip> datruth: windows is supported in ##windows
[19:01] <ActionPa1snip> datruth: or is the windows system the guest?
[19:01] <hanasaki> should "dpkg-reconfigure locales" bring up a menu to select the locales?  it is just regenerating the current set
[19:03] <Tony_> theadmin, is this it, i dont see a .deb file   http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/wicd
[19:03] <mang0> How can I check in terminal if I have java JDK installed? And if it isn't, is it in the synaptic/software center?
[19:03] <datruth> ActionPa1snip: the winvm is the guest
[19:03] <theadmin> Tony_: Yes, it is the proper page. Click on either "amd64" or "i386" depending on your system's architecture and it will give you the deb
[19:04] <theadmin> Tony_: Ah, wait, it's universal. Click on "all".
[19:04] <ActionPa1snip> datruth: what settings for sound and LAN have you set. Have you installed the Guest additions?
[19:04] <theadmin> Tony_: Here: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/wicd/download
[19:05] <drew212> how do i modify the access control of a directory so I can write to it without sudo? I'm in the owning group
[19:05] <Odaym> if I do "dmesg | grep ipsec" and don't get any output, does that mean that I don't have it installed?
[19:06] <Odaym> I have a link that says it ships with full kernel integration
[19:06] <ActionPa1snip> drew212: chmod g+w folder
[19:06] <theadmin> Odaym: Might want to grep -i just in case it shows up as "IPSec" or something like that in dmesg
[19:06] <dajhorn> gentoofan: You can't install zfs-linux with apt-get because it is a source package.
[19:06] <theadmin> Odaym: -i = case-insensetive
[19:06] <Odaym> yea, but still
[19:06] <Tony_> theadmin, thx
[19:07] <drew212> ActionPa1snip: the folder is 775 right now
[19:07] <datruth> ActionPa1snip: no how do I get guest additions?
[19:07] <Odaym> I do have /etc/ipsec-tools.conf though
[19:07] <ActionPa1snip> datruth: http://lh4.ggpht.com/_RyhrdnlxJ-4/ShSD7NCL6FI/AAAAAAAAGBM/mHoQEQrZ_lw/sun_virtualbox_ubuntu_guest_additions%5B6%5D.jpg
[19:07] <dajhorn> gentoofan: And Brian accepted Richard's patch upstream.  It will be in the next regular PPA update.
[19:08] <ActionPa1snip> datruth: same in windows.
[19:09] <ActionPa1snip> datruth: basically you installed an OS with few drivers and wonder why noting works. Its like a native install. You need to instal drivers to make hardware work right (albeit virtual hardware in this case)
[19:09] <subman> I cannot get ustream.tv to work for me.  When I try to stream I get a flash window that asks permission to allow my camera but that window is unclickable.
[19:09] <Mindkontrol> theadmin: In this case, there are no files but the text, i am confused. the compile instructions ask me to ./configure, but there is nothing to configure
[19:10] <drew212> ActionPa1snip: Say i have a directory in /opt called hello, i want to be able to create directories under that without sudo... is there a way to do this?
[19:10] <theadmin> Mindkontrol: ./configure means you open the directory in the terminal and type "./configure".
[19:10] <Mindkontrol> theadmin: https://sites.google.com/site/root4android/rooting/psneuter-c
[19:10] <Mindkontrol> theadmin: please look at the link, and tell me if i am going about this all the wrong way
[19:11] <Mindkontrol> theadmin: LInux is great, but damn if there isnt a lot to learn
[19:11] <MonkeyDust> Mindkontrol  you had to learn windows, too
[19:11] <MonkeyDust> or mac
[19:11] <drew212> Mindkontrol: once you get used to it it's great, you have better control
[19:11] <Mindkontrol> MonkeyDust: Yeah, but i got into windows very young
[19:12] <drew212> Mindkontrol: +1 on what MonkeyDust said
[19:12] <Mindkontrol> drew212: I totally agree, i am loving it. GOing to switch my main machine over pretty soon
[19:12] <Mindkontrol> just dual boot into win7 for the couple of games i need to
[19:12] <drew212> Mindkontrol: that's what i do
[19:13] <drew212> plus, HPC is a joke on windows...
[19:13] <GranCenSail1> My usual backup script keeps failing with "Cannot stat: permission denied" on the folder ".gvfs".  I tried excluding that folder from the backup, but it's still failing.
[19:13] <drew212> hopefully i'll be able to fix some of that this summer working there =)
[19:13] <Mindkontrol> so, can someone follow this link, and tell me what to do with this? https://sites.google.com/site/root4android/rooting/psneuter-c
[19:13] <ActionPa1snip> drew212: sudo chmod -R g+w /opt/hello   assuming you are in the group ownership
[19:13] <diverdude> What is wrong with this line? crontab -e * * * * * cd /var/www/gitorious && /usr/bin/bundle exec rake ultrasphinx:index RAILS_ENV=production
[19:14] <ActionPa1snip> diverdude: Is it ok in quotes?
[19:14] <drew212> ActionPa1snip: that doesn't work =\
[19:14] <ActionPa1snip> diverdude: could put it in a script and cron the script
[19:14] <anynickname> Has anyone here ever used "dialog"?
[19:14] <drew212> ActionPa1snip: I'll double check i'm in the group and everything
[19:14] <anynickname> can someone explain why "EXAMPLE=$(dialog --inputbox "some text" 10 60)" does not work?
[19:14] <ActionPa1snip> drew212: you can check group membership by running:  groups
[19:15] <anynickname> "dialog --inputbox "some text" 10 60" alone works, just not if I try to make a variable out of it
[19:15] <amaroks> guys, what command tells the public ip of server?
[19:15] <diverdude> ActionPa1snip, yeah ok...good idea...should quotes also work?
[19:15] <diverdude> ActionPa1snip, like: crontab -e * * * * * "cd /var/www/gitorious && /usr/bin/bundle exec rake ultrasphinx:index RAILS_ENV=production"
[19:15] <gentoofan> dajhorn: Thanks.
[19:16] <dajhorn> GranCenSail1: Which backup script?  The .gvfs folder is used by the GNOME mount manager.
[19:16] <dajhorn> gentoofan: Welcome.
[19:16] <Mindkontrol> drew212: u busy?
[19:16] <drew212> Mindkontrol: i'm at work, but what's up?
[19:16] <Mindkontrol> drew212: I just need someone to check this link, and tell me where to go with it
[19:16] <GranCenSail1> dajhorn: It's one that my friend wrote for me that's supposed to make a .tar out of my home folder and save it to an external harddrive.
[19:16] <Mindkontrol> drew212: https://sites.google.com/site/root4android/rooting/psneuter-c
[19:17] <ActionPa1snip> diverdude: not sure, i'd go for the script, you can then easily update the script
[19:17] <drew212> ActionPa1snip: yeah, i'm definitely in the group, i don't think you can mkdir without sudo outside of your own folder =Z
[19:17] <itaycream> hello
[19:17] <drew212> Mindkontrol: what exactly are you trying to do with it? compile it?
[19:17] <diverdude> ActionPa1snip, good idea...where would be the appropriate place to put such a script?
[19:17] <ActionPa1snip> drew212: if you are in the group you should be ok
[19:17] <gentoofan> dajhorn: Actually, that isn't the patch that I wanted. The one I wanted involves bootfs on raidz.
[19:17] <dajhorn> GranCenSail1:  Find the tar command in the backup script and add the --one-file-system switch.
[19:18] <Mindkontrol> drew212: Yes, but the compile instructions dont seem to coorespond with that file
[19:18] <Tony_> theadmin, dependency is not satisfiable, wicd-daemon...??
[19:18] <itaycream> where am i
[19:18] <dajhorn> gentoofan: Install the zfsutils package from rlaager's PPA.
[19:18] <trism> iceroot: don't know if you already figured this out earlier but I was curious too, and: sudo apt-get -o=Debug::pkgProblemResolver=yes dist-upgrade; seems to give the right sort of info
[19:18] <theadmin> Tony_: Installing packages manually is a pain. You need to grab the wicd-daemon package first and install that...
[19:18] <ActionPa1snip> diverdude: anywhere you want, just referecnce it absolutely in cron, /usr/bin is a handy place, just give it a weird name so it doesn't clash with installed apps, anywhere in $PATH will be ok
[19:18] <Mindkontrol> drew212: not sure if i grabbed it right or what, i just did wget that link
[19:18] <voidmain_> cw=Z]ReL5QNLyQ%KIP~NEPzNy
[19:18] <dajhorn> gentoofan: He gave it a special version so that it wouldn't clobber the regular PPA.  You need to explicitly install it.
[19:18] <drew212> Mindkontrol: gcc <filename> should output the file to a.out then you can ./a.out
[19:18] <itaycream> help me
[19:19] <gentoofan> dajhorn: I don't see it listed on the webpage.
[19:19] <itaycream> my screen wont work
[19:19] <Mindkontrol> drew212: gcc no input files
[19:19] <drew212> ActionPa1snip: its not working, idk
[19:19] <gentoofan> dajhorn: Amazingly, that worked. :)
[19:19] <itaycream> do anyone know how to do?
[19:19] <amaroks> guys, what command tells the public ip of server?
[19:20] <Mindkontrol> drew212: says file unrecognized
[19:20] <iceroot> trism: perfect, thats exactly what i was looking for
[19:20] <iceroot> trism: thank you
[19:20] <drew212> cd to the location the file is in, then gcc psneuter.c
[19:20] <iceroot> amaroks: ifconfig
[19:20] <dajhorn> gentoofan: The direct link is: https://launchpad.net/~rlaager/+archive/ppa/+files/zfsutils_<IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu1~oneiric2~rlaager1_amd64.deb
[19:20] <drew212> you might have to rename the file
[19:20] <drew212> Mindkontrol: mv psneuter-c psneuter.c
[19:20] <gentoofan> dajhorn: Is there a separate one for the kernel modules?
[19:21] <almoxarife> is there a cheat sheet for using the official adobe flash 64bit in place of what ever ubuntu has as default?
[19:21] <dajhorn> gentoofan: Yes, but I don't think that you need it because the restriction is in the userland...  Let me double check.
[19:21] <iceroot> trism:  Considering libedataserver1.2-15:i386 7 as a solution to evolution-webcal:i386 6
[19:21] <Mindkontrol> drew212: did i download it the right way by doing wget
[19:21] <iceroot>   Removing evolution-webcal:i386 rather than change libedataserver1.2-15:i386
[19:21] <drew212> yeah
[19:21] <iceroot> trism: thats good debug-stuff for the bug-report
[19:21] <gentoofan> dajhorn: I need it to be able to use the LiveCD to do a chroot into my Gentoo install.
[19:22] <drew212> Mindkontrol: you should be ok, you might need to change the file extension so the compiler recognizes it as a c-code file
[19:22] <Mindkontrol> drew212: seems like something is wrong, kicked out a ton of errors
[19:22] <gentoofan> dajhorn: As for the restriction, it is in the kernel module itself. See vdev_is_bootable() in ./module/zfs/vdev.c
[19:22] <drew212> its probably one file in a large project
[19:23] <gentoofan> He told me last night that he forgot to publish that patch, but it was in the binaries he published in his PPA.
[19:23] <dajhorn> gentoofan: Okay, then only run `apt-add-repository ppa:rlaager/ppa` and then do `apt-get install spl-dkms; apt-get install zfs-dkms zfsutils`
[19:23] <GranCenSail1> dajhorn: Thanks for your help.  I added the command and am running the script now.
[19:23] <dajhorn> gentoofan: The modules/ code is shared.  Some of the utilities directly include it.
[19:23] <Mindkontrol> drew212: Yeah, it just kicks back a bunch of errors. sigh
[19:23] <dajhorn> gentoofan: Welcome.
[19:23] <drew212> Mindkontrol: yeah, you should download it directly from his repo: git clone https://github.com/tmzt/g2root-kmod.git
[19:24] <drew212> he has a makefile included in there =)
[19:24] <gentoofan> dajhorn: His spl-dkms package is missing. :/
[19:24] <Mindkontrol> drew212: Hmm. ok. So just add that to my repository list?
[19:24] <dajhorn> gentoofan: Bummer. That makes it much more difficult.
[19:24] <drew212> add it to your list?
[19:25] <theadmin> Mindkontrol: It's a git repo... not an apt repo
[19:25] <diverdude> in what is wrong with this command: crontab -e * * * * * rungito    ?
[19:25] <gentoofan> I don't need the bootfs patch for now. I will try your PPA instead.
[19:25] <drew212> Mindkontrol: what theadmin said
[19:25] <drew212> Mindkontrol: its a remote location for someone to store code
[19:26] <Mindkontrol> drew212: Ahhh. never accessed one before
[19:26] <Slart> diverdude: full path to "rungito" whatever that is
[19:26] <sudipta> MonkeyDust: hey thanks for helping me out,I have made changes to the fstab and everything works fine..except for one thing. Anything I want to delete has to be deleted permanently, i.e. I can not able to move it to 'trash' .No biggy but a little itch
[19:28] <drew212> Mindkontrol: yeah, if you're not writing code or compiling from source its not really necessary...
[19:28] <Mindkontrol> ok, downloading git core
[19:28] <diverdude> Slart, still gives: crontab: usage error: no arguments permitted after this option
[19:29] <AndIrc> Can someone tell me why I can't boot to ububtu?  I have reinstalled it like 8 times,  but all i get when it restarts is "Error no such partition: Grub rescue"
[19:29] <theadmin> diverdude: "crontab -e" will open an editor with a text file to which you would add the stuff you need.
[19:29] <Slart> diverdude: oh.. you can't just run "crontab -r bla bla bla"... just run "crontab -e" and you'll start an editor where you can edit the actual crontab file
[19:29] <haux> I'm having a problem with networking in 10.04. I just built a computer, and lspci is showing that there is an Ethernet controller, but with the network cable plugged in... nothing happens. None of the ethernet  lights are blinking either.
[19:29] <Mindkontrol> drew212: damn it, its giving me errors trying to install git
[19:29] <MonkeyDust> sudipta  it's in dconf-editor => org - gnome - nautilus - preferences
[19:29] <dariushall21> It doesn't matter what I do,  I can't start it up.
[19:29] <Slart> diverdude: that's where you put the * * * * * rungito
[19:29] <gentoofan> dajhorn: I don't suppose you would know why I keep getting "E: Type 'src' is not known on line 2 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dajhorn-ppa-oneiric.list". I got this with Richard's ppa too.
[19:30] <drew212> Mindkontrol: sudo apt-get install git?
[19:30] <Mindkontrol> drew212: 404 not found on the servers
[19:30] <drew212> ?
[19:30] <dajhorn> gentoofan: All lines in that list file must begin with "deb", "deb-src", or a comment.
[19:31] <theadmin> gentoofan: Supposed to be "deb-src" I suppose. Broken PPA I'd guess.
[19:31] <dajhorn> theadmin: Launchpad prevents the publishing of packages with broken sources.
[19:32] <drew212> Mindkontrol: i'm not sure what would cause that, maybe you don't have 3rd party sources?
[19:32] <AndIrc> What is grub rescue? and why is it even trying to boot to it
[19:32] <Mindkontrol> drew212: yeah, im gonna try it on my main linux box. this machine is running eeebuntu
[19:32] <arlo_> hello, im try to install proftpd and guideadmin , but there are come this error on my server - Fatal: TLSRSACertificateFile: '/etc/gadmin-proftpd/certs/cert.pem' someone can help me?
[19:32] <dajhorn> gentoofan: You don't need any of the "deb-src" lines for doing a recovery from a LiveCD.
[19:32] <gentoofan> One is deb-src and the other is src. :/
[19:33] <haux> Can anyone help with my Ethernet issue?
[19:33] <dajhorn> gentoofan: Did you cut and paste or use the apt-add-repository command?  Change "deb-src" to "deb" and delete the "src" lines.
[19:33] <drew212> Mindkontrol: i'm not sure what's wrong with it, it should be there
[19:33] <gentoofan> dajhorn: I used apt-add-repository.
[19:33] <sudipta> MonkeyDust: where exactly?
[19:34] <Mindkontrol> drew212: its fine, im getting it on main box
[19:34] <dajhorn> gentoofan: And are you using the Oneiric LiveCD or the Precise LiveCD?
[19:34] <drew212> ok =)
[19:34] <gentoofan> dajhorn: Oneiric amd64
[19:34] <dajhorn> gentoofan: Weird. You have me stumped.
[19:34] <drew212> then you should be able to CD into the repo, and type make...
[19:34] <MonkeyDust> sudipta  i guess you need to install dconf, when it's done, open it and go to org - gnome - nautilus - preferences
[19:35] <dariushall21> Can someone tell my why I can't boot? All I get is "Error no such partition: Grub Rescue"
[19:35] <dajhorn> gentoofan: This is the only line that you need to do the Gentoo recovery:  deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/zfs-native/daily/ubuntu oneiric main
[19:35]  * MonkeyDust afk
[19:36] <sudipta> MonkeyDust: i have dconf installed.....but could not find any option regarding this tiny problem,i want files to be moved to tha 'trash' where I use "move to trash" option
[19:37] <torarne[home]> Q: would it be preferable to install a vpn server on my openwrt based router, or on the file/stuff-linux server i have on my network? im thinking which one is easier (firewall rules, etc), and if there are any performance issues with running it on the router?
[19:37] <sdsds> impress
[19:37] <gentoofan> dajhorn: Thanks.
[19:37] <Mindkontrol> drew212: cool, so i cloned the git
[19:37] <haux> Can anyone help with an Ethernet issue?
[19:37] <dajhorn> gentoofan: Welcome.
[19:37] <aeon-ltd> haux: specify the problem to the channel
[19:38] <Bitvilag> hi there
[19:38] <wiggmpk> Using 11.10 with gnome3, where is the menu to change the default applications that automatically open when something like a usb drive with pictures is connected, it's not in the typical place nautilis > edit > preferences
[19:38] <Mindkontrol> drew212: so if it had a Makefile what then
[19:38] <Mindkontrol> drew212: btw, thanks a ton, this is one area i have been hazy on for awhile
[19:38] <aeon-ltd> haux: in the future just straight up ask the question instead of waiting for a prompt; saves channel space and time for you
[19:38] <dariushall21> It doesn't make any sense, there is NO answer to it anywhere on the internet
[19:39] <haux> I just built a new computer. Installed 10.04 LTS. Ubuntu is acting like it's not identifying the onboard Ethernet. Cable is plugged in... the activity lights do not blink. Nothing happens. lspci shows that there is an Ethernet controller.
[19:39] <aeon-ltd> haux: try a different cable first?
[19:40] <haux> I did.
[19:40] <haux> The network worked fine on my laptop. I put it away to setup the new desktop.
[19:40] <sdsds> http://tinyurl.com/1in
[19:41] <Mindkontrol> drew212: if i type make, it says error 2
[19:41] <Bitvilag> I have a question about ubuntu virtualization. I use libvirt and I managed to do 2 guest operating system with the same exact version as the host which is the newest server version and everything works fine except the fact that i do not have iptables on guest os. I need iptables because I have openvpn installed and I want to forward client traffic through the guest to host and through that to
[19:41] <Bitvilag> the open internet. my question is how can i have iptables on guest or how can i just make the effect of iptables (i mean the masq) on guest so it forwards the tap device to the host
[19:42] <wiggmpk> haux: when you were installing, were you able to get an ip address when detecting network devices?
[19:42] <Bitvilag> haux: how about bios settings?
[19:43] <drew212> Mindkontrol: error 2 is a compiler error, you need to give more information...
[19:43] <skel> Bitvilag: I have rhel as a guest os and iptables works just fine, are you using bridging or nat or what?
[19:43] <haux> The BIOS has thernet enabled. I even enabled something called Rom that was listed in that sectioin too. No change.
[19:43] <dariushall21> No one can help me?
[19:43] <drew212> Mindkontrol: i have to relog, i'll brb
[19:43] <haux> wiggmpk: When installing what? Ubuntu?
[19:43] <wiggmpk> haux: yes
[19:43] <haux> I walked away during the install.
[19:44] <wiggmpk> haux: Bitvilag has a good point too, do you have 2 ethernet devices? like an internal motherboard ethernet port and a PCI ethernet port
[19:44] <haux> No
[19:44] <haux> Onboard only.
[19:44] <haux> wiggmpk: is there something I can run to detect network devices?
[19:45] <wiggmpk> haux: lspci | grep Ethernet
[19:45] <haux> lspci shows Atheros as my network controller
[19:45] <haux> ok
[19:45] <wiggmpk> haux: Atheros what? copy / paste the entire line
[19:45] <Bitvilag> skel: well the host acts as a router (shorewall is installed and everything is nated from non-virtual to virtual) vpn is also routed
[19:45] <Mindkontrol> drew212: so by give more information, what u mean
[19:46] <Mindkontrol> drew212: I donwloaded the file, it has a make file in the directory, i typed make, and got error2
[19:46] <drew212> Mindkontrol: copy everything that outputted after you typed make to: www.pastebin.com
[19:47] <wiggmpk> Mindkontrol: you could start by listing the errors.. copy / paste and use pastebin.com
[19:47] <skel> Bitvilag: ok, so what about iptables isn't working on the guest os?
[19:47] <pranav> bitvilag: what do u mean by guest os ?
[19:47] <haux> wiggmpk: Atheros Communications Device 1083.  can't really copy/paste. Different computer in a different room.
[19:47] <Bitvilag> skel: it says no such command
[19:48] <skel> Bitvilag: sudo apt-get install iptables ?
[19:48] <Mindkontrol> drew212: http://pastebin.com/mm0FVpW7
[19:48] <Bitvilag> skel: haha not tried yet one sec:D
[19:48] <wiggmpk> haux: lol good point =P
[19:48] <haux> However... my friend's laptop isn't identifying the network either. Something else must be wrong. I'm going to investigate this further and will be back if it's still isolated to the new machine
[19:49] <dariushall21> Even running mbr fix won't fix this error
[19:49] <dariushall21> this is really pissing me off
[19:49] <mneptok> Mindkontrol: you're compiling Android stuff, right?
[19:50] <Mindkontrol> mneptok: yeah for rooting
[19:50] <iFailedUbuntu> huh
[19:50] <rymate1234> guys
[19:50] <rymate1234> how to play midi files with linux?
[19:51] <Bitvilag> skel: surprisingly was not installed thanks for the tip...i feel dumb now:P
[19:51] <mneptok> Mindkontrol: the required toolchain to get Android code compiling, and how to compile on Linux, is probably best answered by the Android community and their resources, rather than the Ubuntu community and their resources.
[19:51] <Seveas> rymate1234, try timidity
[19:51] <wiggmpk> haux: try < sudo lshw > to see what drivers are being used by what devices, you'll have to look for your ethernet device
[19:51] <skel> Bitvilag: np, glad it was something easy :)
[19:51] <demortes> Greetings, I am having issues that once the video card driver is installed (AT HD5700) that it boots to a purple screen. I tried removing the xorg.conf file to a backup, but I admit, I'm not the best in troubleshooting Ubuntu. Any ideas?
[19:51] <Bitvilag> skel: haha me too
[19:51] <Bitvilag> :d
[19:51] <iFailedUbuntu> why do i have to push my right mouse button to type????
[19:51] <Mindkontrol> mneptok: hah, reminds me of doing phone tech support, call microsoft
[19:52] <amigo> perfectly style http://paste.ubuntu.com/802131/ libreoffice-core broken for precise updates
[19:52] <Mindkontrol> mneptok: says i need ARM toolchain
[19:53] <almoxarife> demortes: what driver?
[19:53] <mneptok> Mindkontrol: no, in an Android forum you're pretty much guranteed that at least 20% of developers are doing their work on some kind of Linux. in the general Ubuntu support IRC channel, you can pretty much bet that the sheer volume of traffic means anyone that does do Android development is not listening.
[19:53] <demortes> The one that auto pops in the system. I assume it downloads from the repository
[19:53] <demortes> The additional driver software.
[19:53] <Mindkontrol> mneptok: right, thanks man.
[19:53] <Mindkontrol> mneptok: I wasnt being a jerk, just made me laugh
[19:54] <demortes> I'm doing this for a friend, he also told me downloaded straight from ATI. Reinstalled a number of times.
[19:54] <almoxarife> demortes: ati radeon?
[19:54] <demortes> Yes, sorry
[19:56] <rymate1234> Seveas: how to use timidity
[19:56] <almoxarife> demortes: the method i have seen work for my own self was the use of 'fqrlx' from the repos with a reboot
[19:56] <almoxarife> !info fgrlx
[19:57] <pangolin> almoxarife: fglrx
[19:57] <fredricks> hey guys, I am having some weird issues with firefox crashing whenever I try and load anything in java.
[19:57] <demortes> !info fglrx
[19:57] <almoxarife> pangolin: yes :)
[19:58] <demortes> OK, I'll try that... we're trying an install in Wubi to be able to chat and install at the same time.
[19:58] <demortes> Looks like we found some decent threads also.
[19:58] <YoHoMoJo> Hey, can anyone help me with running bitcoin?
[19:58] <almoxarife> demortes: its a wubi install?
[19:58] <rymate1234> guys
[19:58] <rymate1234> I got timidity
[19:58] <rymate1234> how to use it?
[19:58] <demortes> This one will be. He did a full install to a dedicated 1TB HDD
[19:58] <demortes> I just like Wubi myself
[19:59] <gr33n7007h> does Xchat work on mac osx lion
[19:59] <demortes> Does that change things?
[19:59] <almoxarife> demortes: i used wubi for along time too, worked for me just fine
[19:59] <pangolin> gr33n7007h: ask in #xchat
[19:59] <YoHoMoJo> I installed it and when I click on it, bitcoin logo pops up but disappears instantly
[19:59] <demortes> Good to know, thank you
[19:59] <gr33n7007h> what server
[19:59] <thornhillstaff> what is the "start button" called in Ubuntu?
[19:59] <pangolin> gr33n7007h: this one
[19:59] <fredricks> thornhillstaff: unity
[19:59] <gr33n7007h> ok cheers
[20:00] <almoxarife> demortes: no idea, my wubi install just took the generic drivers and was happy with them, nothing to lose
[20:00] <thornhillstaff> or LXDE?
[20:00] <webczat> Hello, can you set java7 on ubuntu-11.04, where it's not available as a package, as the default java?
[20:00] <thornhillstaff> It's not called "Unity"
[20:00] <fredricks> thornhillstaff: you don't know that ;)
[20:01] <WhiteOwl-m> hey my dudes
[20:01] <theadmin> thornhillstaff: It's called the "Dash" button
[20:01] <designbybeck> so VNC is just broke with 11.10
[20:01] <designbybeck> ?
[20:02] <WhiteOwl-m> question: on ubuntu server I managed to set up a wireless connection at sart through the /etc/rc.local file, but it does check for a network connection before and it takes over 2min... is there a better way to do it so it doesn't check for a network or that it does start the wireless connection before it checks?
[20:02] <Jordan_U> designbybeck: When asking for support it's usually best to start with what symptoms / problem you're having.
[20:02] <Danno7> test
[20:02] <Danno7> how much drive space should I allocate to my /home directory  assuming that I won't be storing pictures, movies, songs or anything  sizeable in home (that will be on a separate drive)? I tend to have a  lot of apps like wine, dropbox, vlc, vitual box so I need space for  those to be installed but storage will be elsewhere if you get what I  mean
[20:03] <Jordan_U> Danno7: Why do you want /home/ on a separate partition at all?
[20:03] <Danno7> because my Ubuntu and /home will be on the SSD which is small
[20:04] <diverdude> are all scripts in /etc/init.d run automatically at startup?
[20:04] <Seveas> diverdude, not necessarily
[20:04] <Danno7> so really the OS+ a minimal /home directory is all I want on that partition
[20:04] <Jordan_U> Danno7: If "Ubuntu" ( I assume your root partition ) is going on the SSD, and /home/ is going on the SSD, then why not keep them both on the same partition?
[20:05] <Danno7> Jordan_U: ok lets assume that. How much space are we talking?
[20:05] <diverdude> Seveas, so what if i do? update-rc.d git-poller defaults
[20:08] <haylo> hey i am in ubuntu classic fallback wih no effects. I made all these special icons for the desktop. is there a way to lock their position or at least make it so changes to the desktop arent saved?
[20:08] <Jordan_U> Danno7: The root directory is going to take a lot more space, and vary more greatly depending on what you have installed, than your /home/ directory. A base Ubuntu install is probably about 4 GiB, and that could easily go as large as 20 GiB with applications that require a lot of disk space.
[20:08] <flintwingel> Danno7: generally the default install calls for a bit over 4GB. If you're really not going to store much in your home directory you could allocate just a few 10s of megabytes
[20:09] <Hanmac> hay i am looking for "Steve Langasek"
[20:09] <flintwingel> Danno7: the risk is always that apps tend to store cache/temp/data files in a users home, so without knowing what apps you're going to run it's not easy to say
[20:09] <fredricks> I have a problem when I try to install ubuntu...I cant get it to start up. It hangs at the boot screen
[20:09] <haylo> i just need to lock the desktop. should i change permissions or does ubuntu have a feature for this tucked away somewhere?
[20:10] <urlin2u> fredricks, black screen what are the symptoms?
[20:10] <fredricks> urlin2u: the purple or orange screen (color blind)
[20:10] <urlin2u> fredricks, you know the graphic card?
[20:10] <fredricks> urlin2u: but when I try to install it even, like off of the live disk...it hangs and doesn't proceed forward
[20:10] <Danno7> Jordan_U , flintwingel : Ok so if I lets say, made the partition 30gigs, that would be more than enough for a single user?
[20:11] <fredricks> urlin2u: no, I am on BT5 if you can tell me how to find it
[20:11] <flintwingel> Danno7: probably ;)
[20:11] <fredricks> urlin2u: if i go to the desktop I can get it to install, but typically it wont even let me boot it live
[20:11] <haylo> i have every linux tools imaginable installed and ubuntu is at 15 gigabytes- that includes a copy of windows 7 in virtual machine
[20:12] <WhiteOwl-m> good alternative to webmin?
[20:12] <urlin2u> fredricks, you can try nomodeset added to the kernel line at the grub menu...hit e to edit and put nomodeset where you see splash in the kernel.
[20:12] <Danno7> flintwingel: wine installs in my home directory. Can you get it to store files in s separate directory? My Wow folder is like 25gigs
[20:12] <fredricks> urlin2u: thanks
[20:12] <urlin2u> !nomodeset | fredricks
[20:12] <Danno7> thanks haylo. good feedback
[20:13] <fredricks> urlin2u: thanks
[20:13] <diverdude> how can i see what runs at startup on a machine?
[20:13] <haylo> ubuntu with remastersys, outty, xchat, openssh, gftp, unetbootin, aptoncd, sauerbraten, vitual box windows 7 at 15 gigs
[20:13] <flintwingel> Danno7: not that familiar with wine but IIRC you can tell it where to allocate it's C: drive
[20:14] <haylo> oh and wine too :) thats alot of tools in 15gigs but... i like to leave at least 100gigs for each distro
[20:16] <haylo> so id say ubuntu with all of its tools could go onto a ten gig root partition but yeah like dud said it soulc easily end up being 20 or 50- especially as programs get more sophisticated and compe get stronger
[20:17] <haylo> my ubunut desktop looks beautiful... if only i could lock it... hmm
[20:17] <almoxarife> which of the /usr/ directories would would the majority of the 'man' files?
[20:18] <Danno7> I am real bad about storing stuff in /home folder and its just getting way out of hand. I really want to keep my stuff segregated on a separate drive for ease of backup and due to my  OCD'ness. plus my ssd is only 120 gig. I already have a good 30gigs allocated for a windows 7 partion
[20:19] <MonkeyDust> Danno7  during installation, you can select a partition for your /home
[20:19] <jutnux> Danno7: You should have root on your SSD /home on the normal drive
[20:20] <urlin2u> Danno7, nice thing about ubuntu and linux in general is being able to move or resize partitions easily, 30 gigs seems like a prudent stat.
[20:20] <haylo> yeah that ssd is for root so your programs run faster
[20:20] <urlin2u> start*
[20:20] <raq> hy all
[20:20] <flintwingel> not unrelated... I've just installed lubuntu on an Asus EEE 701 with on a 4GB drive
[20:20] <epod> flintwingel, I can't stand the puny display on those
[20:20] <Danno7> yeah, I will be putting it on the SSD. Just not the files that I normally keep in /home. Music, movies, pron will be stored on a 1TB
[20:20] <haylo> that home folder is just a directory- you can stick it anywhere really
[20:20] <amt0101> Hello, I have a box with ubuntu 11.10 32 bit...I updated..and now I want to put adobe flash on the machine. When I try to install it from Software center I get: There isn't a software package called "adobe-flashplugin" in your current software sources.
[20:20] <flintwingel> and there's 1.4GB still free
[20:21] <amt0101> What do I do in this case?
[20:21] <raq> can someone help me preventing the screen brightness going to 100% everyttime i restart my PC?
[20:21] <xangua> !partner
[20:21] <xangua> amt0101: enable parter repository
[20:21] <epod> amt0101, I believe it's called 'flashplugin-nonfree' and you need universe enabled?
[20:21] <michu_> siema
[20:21] <MonkeyDust> amt0101  search just 'adobe'
[20:21] <epod> Or, what xangua said
[20:21] <michu_> ee!
[20:21] <urlin2u> amt0101, if you install the resticted extras you get flash and other codes
[20:21] <urlin2u> codecs
[20:22] <haylo> type "adobe" in software center amt0101
[20:22] <yumbo> It's called "adobe-flashplugin"
[20:22] <yumbo> The other package is one you should *not* install
[20:22] <doommaster> I did a plain Ubuntu install on a system which contains a RAID, the OS is on a non RAID HDD now the system does not boot when any of the raid hdds are installed it marks the raid degraded and breaks the init nevertheless there is nothing needed on there and the system boots just fine when the RAID hdds are disconnected wtf is wrong? natty booted just fine
[20:22] <amt0101> I did type adobe in the software center, and tried to enable the repo:P but somehow it didn't want to:P
[20:23] <haylo> yeah i have accidently installed that adobe pdf reader lol
[20:23] <amt0101> yumbo,  Don't worry, I knew the other one is for 64 bit machines.
[20:23] <pp7> this problem is REALLY getting on my nerves now: http://imgur.com/v1AhK
[20:23] <haylo> man i was pissed
[20:23] <yumbo> amt0101, good :)
[20:23] <pp7> anyone have this?
[20:23] <yumbo> pp7 stop using chrome?
[20:23] <pp7> yumbo: have u seen this before?
[20:23] <haylo> yeah dont use chrome
[20:23] <yumbo> pp7 do you use chrome?
[20:24] <pp7> yes
[20:24] <yumbo> switch to firefox and it wont happen
[20:24] <Janhouse> Hi! Can I use networkmanager to route traffic through wlan1 when connecting to some speciffic ip?
[20:24] <pp7> but i like chrome
[20:24] <pp7> this didnt happen before
[20:24] <Janhouse> I see the routes button there but don't get it.
[20:24] <Janhouse> any hints?
[20:24] <haylo> well chromium is fine but dont use google chrome
[20:24] <pp7> just started over the last 2 weeks
[20:24] <pp7> ah ok
[20:24] <pp7> maybe i'll try chromium then
[20:24] <pp7> good idea
[20:25] <haylo> it is called chromium-browser in apt-get, you need to enable backports repo i think
[20:25] <pp7> yea installing now
[20:25] <haylo> maybe its in the software center though, im not sure
[20:25] <arlo_> hello how i  Let user access a specific folder via sftp?
[20:25] <haylo> yeah chromium is real fast
[20:25] <Danno7> last question: on natty which I am still running, there is a option at the bottom of the login screen where it lets me pic classic mode vs netbook mode. Is there an option on oneric 11.10 to do that or am I stuck with Unity?
[20:25] <growl> ok tried ubuntu 11.10 now im over it because it cant run what i need so now tell me there is an easy way to get back to wondowsvista
[20:25] <pp7> haylo: faster than google-chrome?
[20:26] <yumbo> arlo_, which ftp server do you use?
[20:26] <haylo> for linux i would say yes
[20:26] <aeon-ltd> Danno7: there is a non unity mode iirc
[20:26] <arlo_> OPENSSH
[20:26] <urlin2u> growl, inster disc and install.
[20:26] <urlin2u> insert
[20:26] <growl> no disc
[20:26] <growl> :(
[20:26] <growl> i really screwed up here and need some help
[20:26] <MonkeyDust> Danno7  if you don't like unity, you can use another GUI
[20:27] <haylo> Danno7 i use 11.04 for that reason
[20:27] <urlin2u> growl, you have a clone any vista anything?
[20:27] <yumbo> arlo_, you'll need to take a look in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
[20:27] <growl> no...
[20:27] <haylo> i think the next long term ubuntu release will be similiar to 11.04 not .10
[20:27] <growl> sobbing like a girl over here
[20:27] <yumbo> arlo_, "man sshd_config"
[20:27] <growl> If Ubuntu would just play WOW this would be fine
[20:27] <epod> growl, you're probably hosed if you deleted your recovery partition and have no restore cds.
[20:28] <epod> it'll run wow with wine 1.3
[20:28] <growl> ...i dont wanna be hosed
[20:28] <amt0101> got flash installed, thanks guys ;)
[20:28] <Danno7> monkeyDust and haylo: yeah, I am thinking of installing the XFCE gui. But if it just didn't have that unity interface, I think I could live with it
[20:28] <haylo> that is a fine way to go Danno7
[20:28] <growl> not for me on this awful slow compute
[20:28] <amt0101> epod,  thanks for helping me out! :)
[20:28] <growl> wine does not run wow
[20:28] <yumbo> growl, or you could delete the game and improve your life ;)
[20:28] <aeon-ltd> growl: do you have any way to restore/install vista?
[20:28] <kingisher64> does anybody know how to un-hide the desktop/navigation bar at the top. it's doing my head in having to hover over the menu to show the options on each app
[20:28] <growl> thats why im here aeon
[20:28] <epod> growl, oh yes it does.  works for me.
[20:28] <epod> lol
[20:28] <growl> epod u r lucky
[20:29] <amt0101> growl,  Wine does run WoW
[20:29] <growl> it would push more than 2 fps
[20:29] <growl> thats unplayable
[20:29] <growl> yer right it does but not well
[20:29] <aeon-ltd> growl: what fps were you getting in win?
[20:29] <growl> 30
[20:29] <growl> 40
[20:29] <growl> not the best but ok
[20:29] <haylo> Danno7 i noticed xfce isnt in the repos anymore you will have to search for a good repo that has it. open your software sources and add it
[20:29] <growl> something about my graphics card sucks
[20:29] <aeon-ltd> that's just above playable, why would you even try this (cpt hindsight here)
[20:30] <growl> ya obviuos fail is obviuos
[20:30] <Danno7> growl, it runs but frankly I think your experiece would be better on win. Mine was running ok but then I upgraded something and it borked it all.
[20:30] <epod> growl, make sure you're in opengl mode not dx9
[20:30] <growl> so now im screwed
[20:30] <aeon-ltd> growl: well er too bad, got money to buy win7 to do it right?
[20:30] <growl> wow. exe -opengl
[20:30] <growl> how much win 7
[20:30] <epod> growl, http://www.wowwiki.com/Wine_troubleshooting
[20:30] <haylo> yeah if you get 40 in windows there is no  hope for graphics in linux as that 40 is obtained by a special integrated driver
[20:30] <growl> ?
[20:31] <aeon-ltd> growl: what country?
[20:31] <amt0101> growl,  Ohh my, wow was listed as a gold application in winehq appdb...not it isn't...so no chance to play it in wine yet...
[20:31] <growl> thankx epod i pulled my hair out over it for days, seems i have a set up thats just to shitty for wine running wow
[20:31] <growl> ya its silver stat
[20:31] <growl> so now, tail between legs' i crawl back to windows for wow :(
[20:31] <growl> USA
[20:32] <amt0101> growl,  Make a dual boot:P
[20:32] <growl> ya dual boot :)
[20:32] <epod> growl, also, if opengl isnt working, try dx9
[20:32] <growl> its easy from windows but not from ubuntu
[20:32] <epod> dx11 won't work though
[20:32] <aeon-ltd> growl: $100 for the oem ver
[20:32] <epod> anyways, time to go shower.
[20:32] <haylo> growl just dual boot leave wins for your games. i wont run anything but linux- if it doesnt work than i just dont get to use it
[20:33] <growl> i would love to be that way haylo i would i love ubuntu but im too hooked on wow for that
[20:33] <haylo> you are a linux user growl, i can tell because you want it.
[20:33] <growl> o i do
[20:33] <haylo> you will get it eventually
[20:33] <haylo> you just need some different hardware
[20:33] <growl> it fixed every windows glitchy prob i had
[20:33] <Danno7> growl: I had WoW running with respectable settings under Ubuntu for close to year before something I did totally crashed it. Really the probs I had under linux were mostly to do with updating and downloading. Not actually running the game.
[20:33] <growl> thx haylo
[20:33] <haylo> :)
[20:34] <Danno7> Granted, I was running Nvidia based graphics and those are pretty well suppported under linux
[20:34] <growl> danno7 i wish i could hang out and have you show me...youd stay drunk/high...interested?
[20:34] <pp7> haylo: i get the same problem with chromium :(
[20:34] <haylo> my linux installs are all flawless everytime with no special setting and get 700 fps. its the hardware that makes installs difficult usually
[20:34] <growl> its my dell integrated awful ghraphics driver stuck in this lame laptop
[20:35] <growl> i dont have a choice im not Bawling uncontrably over here
[20:35] <Danno7> growl: everything I found was obtained with Google. but yeah, dell..you might be stuck
[20:35] <growl> oo i looked trust me
[20:35] <blast007> growl: is it a laptop?
[20:35] <growl> its very regretfully that i have to get windows.
[20:35] <growl> ya
[20:35] <growl> laptop
[20:35] <Danno7> I had a hell of a time years ago with a dell laptop until NDIS wrapper came about
[20:35] <haylo> you can try making your own integrated gpu driver from source at intel website
[20:36] <growl> NDIS?
[20:36] <haylo> if you do please let me have it :)
[20:36] <growl> haylo that sounds craziness
[20:36] <Danno7> no its not for your situation. its for wireless adaptors.
[20:36] <diverdude> How can i check if there is a process running called: searchd  and if so who owns it?
[20:36] <blast007> growl: You might be able to order a restore DVD from Dell.  I'd say call them and find out what that costs.
[20:36] <growl> prob my only hope
[20:37] <growl> just didnt want to drop anymoney
[20:37] <brave> help your country in this game http://e-sim.org/lan.4802/
[20:37] <growl> it was so easy to go from win to --> ubuntu, thought it be the same to get back
[20:37] <Danno7> also most modern dells have a partition with the recovery data stored there...if you haven't deleted it
[20:37] <blast007> it would be, if you had the disk ;)
[20:37] <aeon-ltd> brave: no spam please
[20:37] <growl> danny i am SOFA KING!
[20:37] <growl> deleted it!
[20:37] <brave> :P
[20:37] <Danno7> doh!
[20:38] <growl> arrrrrggggggggggggg
[20:38] <growl> thats usually how i learn tho
[20:38] <Danno7> me too
[20:38] <growl> so ill clearly learn how to partition things from now on
[20:38] <haylo> you can linux, but you can never go back mwahahaha
[20:38] <growl> lol
[20:38] <growl> ya you guys got me in yer linux trap
[20:38] <growl> trust me its rad
[20:38] <blast007> growl: or just get the restore DVDs and then you don't have to worry about hosing your copy of windows ;)
[20:38] <haylo> you  now need to format with NFTS mwahahaha
[20:38] <Danno7> now I am not advocating piracy but I KNOW you can find win7 on the internet and you should be able to use your existing key to activate it
[20:39] <blast007> you'd need restore DVDs anyway if, say, your hard drive crashes
[20:39] <growl> just wanna drive up to blizzard HQ in CAli and stand bawls naked in front with a big penguin picket sign
[20:39] <Danno7> then download all the drivers to get your lappy to work right
[20:39] <oCean> growl: please stay on topic
[20:40] <growl> lol k
[20:40] <j3d3> can i update 10.10 to the 11.10 kernal without upgrade the distro?
[20:40] <sham> hai
[20:40] <yumbo> j3d3, you can, but it's not a wise thing to do
[20:40] <haylo> growl this forum is very busy.  /join #crunchbang
[20:40] <urlin2u> j3d3, if you do it negates help here at times....depends on who you have helping.
[20:41] <growl> danno i might have found a vista iso on pirateboof.org can i burn the near 4 g iso on a dvd rom and start from that with my bought key?
[20:41] <j3d3> got it. ty
[20:41] <dajhorn> j3d3: Yes, the 3.2.0-8-generic kernel package from Precise is currently compatible with Oneiric.
[20:41] <blast007> growl: I'd not recommend that... no telling what you're getting
[20:41] <urlin2u> growl, bad idea, and e don't support that stuff don't mention it.
[20:41] <urlin2u> e
[20:41] <urlin2u> we
[20:41] <growl> ok sorry...again im learning
[20:41] <Danno7> growl: should be able to. But yeah, you don't know what you are getting. but then again this is not a windoze forum
[20:42] <Danno7> good luck
[20:42] <growl> :)
[20:42] <aeon-ltd> growl: also still kinda illegal
[20:42] <blast007> growl: you can probably get a set of restore DVDs for maybe $15 or $25 from Dell
[20:42] <aeon-ltd> growl: key or not
[20:42] <growl> i was thinkning to just call dell right now
[20:42] <yumbo> dajhorn, can you tell me the source of that?
[20:42] <blast007> growl: yeah, that's the best option
[20:42] <growl> thanks guys sorry i have to go i will try dual boot...i love linux :)
[20:42] <haylo> is it just me or is amercan internet already censored and ruined?
[20:42] <dajhorn> yumbo: Search for it at http://packages.ubuntu.com/
[20:43] <oCean> growl: it's offtopic anyway, this channel cannot provide windows support
[20:43] <haylo> all my searches turn up is ebay, wiki and porn
[20:43] <guntbert> haylo: how is that an ubuntu support question?
[20:43] <aeon-ltd> haylo: what more is there?
[20:43] <aeon-ltd> :)
[20:43] <oCean> haylo: please try to keep the channel family friendly and professional
[20:43] <haylo> sorry ithought you guys might know
[20:43] <growl> you guys are all rad and i thankyou...peace
[20:43] <haylo> well you ubuntu people are mad educated tell me if its true
[20:43] <oCean> haylo: this channel is for tech ubuntu issues only
[20:44] <aeon-ltd> haylo: no SOPA is not in yet
[20:44] <haylo> ok thanks :)
[20:44] <coreyf1513> hello, I'm playing with the ubuntu 11.10 livecd thinking about reinstalling my centos 6 laptop, is it possible/reasonable to use gnome unstead of unity?
[20:44] <aeon-ltd> haylo: after SOPA there is PIPA, even then dmca can take down a lot of stuff anyways
[20:44] <yumbo> coreyf1513, very possible
[20:44] <oCean> !nounity | coreyf1513
[20:45] <oCean> aeon-ltd: please don't continue that discussion here
[20:45] <yumbo> coreyf1513, in ubuntu all you need to do is install "gnome-shell"
[20:45] <haylo> no prob oCean but if you guys would have told me if the ubuntu desktop locks id already be gone
[20:45] <FuZi0N> anyone know how to setup vpn incomming connections in ubuntu?
[20:45] <feedelli> c
[20:46] <GRMrGecko> Hello, how can I get x11vnc to start at boot on Ubuntu 11.10? /etc/gdm/Init/Default doesn't exist.
[20:46] <aeon-ltd> oCean: sorry for derailing, but i'm not even american but people need to know - it could even escalate to protectionism and banning of linux/ubuntu for non-commerc
[20:46] <oCean> aeon-ltd: still offtopic for this channel
[20:46] <carl_> lu
[20:47] <arlo_> hello
[20:47] <arlo_> in ubuntu can i create user someon have acces to specific folder?
[20:47] <aeon-ltd> arlo_: yes by restricting permissions
[20:47] <coreyf1513> thanks guys that just cleared my only hesitation to switching :)
[20:47] <j3d3> is there a way to make the portion on a window where you click and drag to resize larger? its seems to be only 1 pixel
[20:48] <dr_willis> GRMrGecko:  11.10 dosent use gdm by default
[20:48] <aeon-ltd> j3d3: yes but that involves editing gtk themes by changing the padding/border/margin sizes iirc
[20:48] <arlo_> Where can i find restricting permissions
[20:48] <GRMrGecko> dr_willis: What can I do to start x11vnc at boot than?
[20:49] <guntbert> j3d3: if there isn't you can use the middle mouse button together with <alt> to resize a window
[20:49] <haylo> ls -l  gives a long list including file permissions for the directory you are in
[20:49] <aeon-ltd> arlo_: right clicking can do some, but most people will tell you to use 'chmod' a terminal tool
[20:49] <dr_willis> GRMrGecko:  11.10 uses lightdm. I tend to use other vnc clients/servers, rarely wanted to use x11vnc.

[20:49] <haylo> or you can change them in nautilus
[20:50] <GRMrGecko> dr_willis: What do you recommend I use for a VNC server?
[20:50] <arlo_> i will give acces to var/www
[20:50] <arlo_> and with ssh
[20:50] <GRMrGecko> This is for remote support.
[20:50] <dr_willis> GRMrGecko:  totally depedns on how you are going to use vnc.
[20:50] <guntbert> j3d3: by the way: with <alt> <left button> you can move a window
[20:50] <gompassos> how can i setup the "super" key to open ubuntu main menu
[20:50] <dr_willis> GRMrGecko:  i normally DONT want to share the 'current visiable' desktop. I want hidden seperate vnc sessions.
[20:50] <gompassos> using fallback mode
[20:51] <dr_willis> GRMrGecko:  gnome has the vino vnc server built in that shares the current visible gnome desktop i belive.
[20:51] <GRMrGecko> dr_willis: Yes, but I do need to see the display as the user sees for my purpose.
[20:51] <GRMrGecko> it does
[20:51] <GRMrGecko> but not at boot
[20:51] <arlo_> i have create use and will give this user acces to var/www
[20:51] <dr_willis> GRMrGecko:  first hit for x11vnc lightdm --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1906745
[20:51] <dr_willis> GRMrGecko:  why do you need to share the login screen?
[20:52] <GRMrGecko> dr_willis: Incase I need to get into my admin user.
[20:52] <iglow> oh wonderful ubuntu user help god grant me the power to solve this damn wireless card problem i am having :)
[20:53] <dr_willis> GRMrGecko: if you need to get remote admin access to a machine. You really should be using SSH, not relying on VNC
[20:53] <Dougwiser> iglow I usually ask that if it be your will, grant me relief from this wireless issue
[20:53] <GRMrGecko> dr_willis: I do use SSH
[20:53] <dr_willis> GRMrGecko:  or you can ssh in, run a vncserver as that user, then connect. No need for people to be able to see your current desktop and what you are doing as an admin. unless you are teaching a class or somthing.
[20:54] <iglow> i am having an issue with the wireless card i just installed. it wont show any scan results for me to access interwebs
[20:54] <GRMrGecko> that's vnc4server
[20:54] <dr_willis> GRMrGecko:  x11vnc is a specilized vnc server that shares the 'current visible' desktop. MOST vnc servers DONT do it that way. they spawn their own hidden desktop.
[20:54] <iglow> after running the trouble shooter it is recognizing the card and the driver but still wont find my network... though in windows 7 it has no probelm
[20:54] <dr_willis> GRMrGecko:  vnc4server is one of many vncservers out there.
[20:55] <GRMrGecko> dr_willis: I think I am able to figure it out from here on out, thanks for pointing me into the right direction.
[20:55] <gompassos> how can i setup what the super key will do
[20:55] <dr_willis> here i ssh in, run vncserver (which is vnc4server here) , then i run a vncclient on this box and connect to the remote box. it then spawns  the desktop i have vncserver configured to run. VNC does not run unity very well. I tend to use jwm, or icewm, or some other light window manager for vnc sessions

[21:06] <ubuntu_> I need your help
[21:06] <dr_willis> State the problem ubuntu_
[21:06] <jwash> can someone point me to a tutorial to make a program run as a system service as a different user? I have ps3mediaserver which runs by doing ./PMS.sh. I want to have it executed at startup as user PS3.
[21:06] <dr_willis> jwash:  one way, use /etc/rc.local and   the su command to run it as a specific user.
[21:07] <dr_willis> since its not really a true 'service' like the other services using upstart.
[21:07] <jwash> got it like this su PS3 | ./PMS.sh
[21:07] <dr_willis> thats a weird way to launch it..
[21:07] <dr_willis> su has the feature to take a user name, and run a command  no need for the |
[21:08] <jwash> ok like this: su PS3 ./PMS.sh
[21:08] <dr_willis>  su user -c /path/to/command  &           in rc.local
[21:08] <dr_willis> your use of ./foo   is most likely wrong..
[21:08] <jwash> will i have to input the user's password
[21:08] <dr_willis> Not in rc.local
[21:08] <diverdude> If i have crontab -e for 2 different users. Are they both executed at boot?
[21:08] <jwash> its a startup script in sh
[21:09] <chrionix> Hi all, I'm about to attempt using the wubi-move script, and was wondering if it's possible to also migrate /home to it's own partition?
[21:09] <dr_willis> rc.local is ran as root. so wont need the users password to su to that user i recall.
[21:09] <dr_willis> chrionix:  you can alwyas move home later.
[21:09] <jwash> yep, that's the logic
[21:09] <dr_willis> !movehome
[21:09] <yabai> hello
[21:10] <yabai> lives a bitch :)
[21:10] <chrionix> hah, thanks dr_willis
[21:10] <haylo> you can just click and drag your files out of windows into your new home folder if you are dual booting with wubi install
[21:11] <elijah> Corey and ekaleido - Isn't that for locally set DNS? My computer is set to get DNS automatically and appears to be <IP_ADDRESS>, that means that the server or router has it's own DNS settings configured, I need to find out what those settings are, or is that impossible?
[21:15] <diverdude> if i run update-rc.d git-poller as user A, will git-poller process run as user A at startup?

[21:18] <CharlieSu> Hi all.  I'm currently installing Ubuntu using a preseed file that I specify on the Alternate CD when booting by giving the 'url=' option.  Here is my preseed file.   https://gist.github.com/705fad09dd2853d49868    I'd like to use a network based or USB based approach.. any suggestions?
[21:18] <genii-around> diverdude: Sounds like some difference in the startup script which was used for the update-rc.d command
[21:18] <diverdude> genii-around, what difference could that be
[21:19] <Kingsy> can someone help me real quick.. with a grub issue
[21:19] <dr_willis> state the issue and see Kingsy
[21:20] <Echo> hi, is it possible to upgrade ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 or higher?

[21:20] <blargg> I've got a burned DVD that I haven't been able to mount on my Mac, so I'm trying Ubuntu 10.04 with a USB DVD drive. Nothing appears. What can I do to diagnose and see if the drive recognizes the disc at all?
[21:20] <Kingsy> dr_willis: sure, I basically have this entry from a forum that I need to enter into my menu.lst file --> http://pastie.org/3174611 <-- but my ubuntu operating system doesnt even have a menu.lst file.. what do I do?
[21:21] <dr_willis> blargg:  try mounting it by hand, also check 'dmesg' command for any sort of messages when trying to mount it.
[21:21] <tase> is ubuntu 11.10 64bit out-of-the-box more stable than ubuntu 11.04 64bit out-of-the-box ? I tried 11.04 when it came out and unity/ubuntu kept crashing
[21:21] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  menu.lst is used by the old LILO or was it grub1 bootloader - not grub2. I think....
[21:22] <Kingsy> dr_willis: so what should I do? basically I have stuck a img file in my /boot/ dir and I want to boot to it
[21:22] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  if you are using grub2 you need to convert it to grub2 type entry and put it in /etc/grub.d/40_custom   then rerun update-grub
[21:22] <urlin2u> tase, you will have to try ot out yourself to really know, both are releses.
[21:22] <Echo> dr_willis I have my ubuntu on a server and I have never logged in with a VNC like software. I have only SSH-ed to it
[21:22] <Echo> Can I use the Network Upgrade for Ubuntu Servers
[21:22] <Kingsy> dr_willis: how would I convert it to a grub2 entry?
[21:22] <dr_willis> Echo:  theres command line upgrade tools.. but i never used it.
[21:22] <tase> urlin2u, thanks for the wise advice, but perhaps some users can comment on their experiences?
[21:22] <Echo> ok
[21:23] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  with some reading and learning about grub2.    the syntax is similer.. but differnt. it an take some work to convert it properly
[21:23] <urlin2u> tase, sure but it means nothing to many variables, both run fine here.
[21:23] <Kingsy> dr_willis: damn, I was hoping to get this done real quick
[21:23] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  theres guides out on booting iso images and so forth via grub2
[21:24] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  that menu.lst looks wrong with its use of * anyway..
[21:24] <Um_cara_qualquer> hi... does anobody knows if there's a linux's program that automaticlly finds subtitles?
[21:24] <dr_willis> Um_cara_qualquer:  i recall seeing such apps mentioned at either webupd8, or the omgubuntu blog sites  last year..
[21:24] <tase> urlin2u, pretty sure 11.04 was considered a major flop with unity when it came out. If that is no longer the case with 11.10, then all is good
[21:25] <dr_willis> Um_cara_qualquer:  never used them. i dont recall their names.
[21:25] <Um_cara_qualquer> hummm
[21:25] <Um_cara_qualquer> thx... i'll check
[21:25] <Um_cara_qualquer> ok
[21:26] <Kingsy> dr_willis: thanks for the info
[21:26] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  a google  for 'xpud img grub2 entry' finds --> http://www.xpud.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=21

[21:27] <Kingsy> dr_willis: yeah looking at it now..
[21:27] <Kingsy> cheers
[21:27] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  you will need to use correct paths to the files
[21:27] <blargg> dr_willis, OK, tried again, and I'm getting some progress, mounted at least part of the DVD
[21:27] <iJacob> Hi!
[21:27] <Kingsy> dr_willis: but which file do I put that entry into?
[21:27] <rosstaylor> using movie player, this is the error message that i've received, "could not read dvd. this maybe because the dvd is encrypted and a dvd decryption library is not installed".
[21:27] <iJacob> If anyone can help me, please do! When i have installed Ubuntu 11.10 alongside with windows 7, when i boot up ubuntu and gets to the log in screen my keyboard stops working, but if i plug in an older keyboard and mouse it works
[21:28] <iJacob> my mouse also is not working
[21:28] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  i mentioned the /etc/grub.d/40_custom earlier if you want it auto-added to the end of the Normal grub2 menu in ubuntu.
[21:28] <CharlieSu> iJacob: i can help..  throw away Windows 7
[21:28] <dr_willis> iJacob:  both are usb?
[21:28] <Kingsy> dr_willis: thanks
[21:28] <xouns> argh, it's probably a usb-recognition problem
[21:28] <iJacob> yeah both are usb
[21:28] <guntbert> CharlieSu: no such comments please
[21:28] <dr_willis> iJacob:  what if you have them both plugged in at the same time?
[21:29] <blargg> What program allows listing a recordable DVD's sessions/partitions?
[21:29] <CharlieSu> guntbert: yes masta
[21:29] <iJacob> if i have all 4 devices pluged in at once its just the old that works
[21:29] <gnubie> rosstaylor, check out medibuntu.org
[21:30] <iJacob> but if i just have the old pluged in from start and log in with them , then unplug the old an plug in the new while logged in the new starts to work
[21:30] <DBordelo> I manually set eth0 to a static ip using the GUI.  However, since then I have gone headless.  I have switched motherboards so only eth1 is coming up (detected as a new card?).  What config file allows me to set static ips or "delete" eth0
[21:31] <Kingsy> dr_willis: is the root=(hd*,*) correct in that entry from that post?
[21:31] <Kingsy> also how can I be sure its hd0,0 ? I assume it is...
[21:31] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  totally depemnds on your hd layout.
[21:31] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  and its using * as a place holder you put in your #'s  for your system
[21:31] <blargg> Here we go, I found the proper tool for that: dvd+rw-mediainfo
[21:31] <Kingsy> dr_willis: so I need to replace the *'s with something?
[21:32] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  try it and see.. i guess..
[21:32] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  yes.. * is a placeholder
[21:32] <Kingsy> dr_willis: what would you advise? 0,0 ?
[21:32] <Kingsy> sorry, I know I am being vague here
[21:32] <iJacob> no idea why?
[21:33] <Kingsy> dr_willis: I am assuming the root needs to be the same as ubuntu? so how do I find that out?
[21:33] <filo1234> DBordelo: do you have only one NIC?
[21:33] <Kingsy> is there something I can type at a terminal I mean?
[21:34] <subterfuge> I'm over in #winehq right now asking the same but it is less populated and this channel so as a hail marry I am going to ask this here too.. "Either my googlefu is at an all time epic fail or what I want to do can't yet be done.  Supporting a person that will not or can not stop using MS Office (must use Excel, Word, Powerpoint.

[21:34] <FloodBot1> subterfuge: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:35] <idefix> how do you enable the Conversation - media - video call in PidgIn?
[21:35] <DBordelo> filo1234, yes, only 1 nic.  I am not sure why it is coming up as eth1
[21:36] <filo1234> DBordelo: ok you can edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and change device name eth1 in eth0...deleting entry for old eth0
[21:36] <Kingsy> dr_willis: well I saved it as hd0,0 did a update-grub  rebooted and grub didnt even appear .. nevermind work..
[21:37] <urlin2u> subterfuge, the ubuntu forums probably has a ton of threads on this you might at while waiting.
[21:37] <Kingsy> it just booted striaght into ubuntu
[21:37] <filo1234> DBordelo: and you can reuse eth0
[21:37] <Kingsy> dr_willis: did I miss something?
[21:37] <DBordelo> filo1234, that is fantastic.  Thank you very much
[21:37] <filo1234> np
[21:38] <filo1234> DBordelo: you need reboot after edit it
[21:38] <DBordelo> filo1234, yeah, that is great.  I was wondering where it was storing the persistent information
[21:38] <subterfuge> urlin2u: they do but either I am over looking somehting or all have lead to dead end errors.   thanks for the idea though, but I have been there and still am sifting through them in case I find me lucky charms
[21:39] <DBordelo>  filo1234 , i got eth0 back, I lost my static ip information though.  Is that stored in /etc/network/interfaces?
[21:40] <filo1234> DBordelo: nope
[21:40] <filo1234> DBordelo: if don't have changed settings in interfaces, nope
[21:41] <DBordelo> filo1234, I do not.  It is booting and using DHCP
[21:41] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  grub is hidden by default if Uubntu is the only os.
[21:41] <DBordelo> and interfaces only has the loopback device
[21:41] <dr_willis> Kingsy:  /etc/default/grub has settings to make it not hide
[21:41] <dariushall21> I can't fix the "Error: no such partition. grub rescue>" I have ran ALL of the commands I have seen on google
[21:41] <dr_willis> !grub2 | Kingsy
[21:41] <filo1234> DBordelo: but do you have set network on interfaces or by NM?
[21:41] <LeChacal> hello all question, when I run an "apt-get update" I get GPG error bad signatures for a couple 3rd party repositories like virtualbox and for the ubuntu/canonical archive repository. Is anyone else getting this or know why all of a sudden I would be getting this? Thank you.
[21:41] <TMKCodes> Hey. I restarted my ubuntu and after login page it's stuck on showing only the wallpaper.
[21:41] <DBordelo> filo1234, NM probably, it was a gui utility
[21:41] <urlin2u> LeChacal, you need to add the keys.
