[05:52] <miststlkr> having a problem with Empathy, if anyone has a suggestion.  I am trying to get the icon back in the box.  The green speech bubble icon has started showing up rather than staying in the messaging indicator/applet as normal.  I figured out to make a new empathy.desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ which adds "Chat" back to the indicator, but as soon as Emapthy opens, the icon pops back out onto the panel instead of staying in the
[05:52] <miststlkr>  box.
[05:52] <YankDownUnder> miststlkr, I have empathy for no one (pun intended)
[05:53] <Fobax> gogeta, heh, awesome
[05:53] <gogeta> Fobax: and when the shredder jams heh
[05:54] <nafiux> Hi! Can you help me? I'm trying to write data in a swap partition in C
[05:54] <rosander> When you say write data, do you mean mount the swap for the os to use?
[05:54] <rosander> because you can't use swap as a place to store files
[05:55] <greezmunkey> YankDownUnder: Yikes, man. I wish I had an answer for you on that.
[05:55] <nafiux> Nop, I'm trying to put data in the swap partition...
[05:55] <nafiux> Data without files
[05:55] <rosander> swap has one purpose.
[05:55] <nafiux> I know that I can't use swap to store files...
[05:55] <rosander> swapon /dev/[partitionpoint]
[05:55] <YankDownUnder> greezmunkey, hehehehehe...yeah - so do I - however, it's now a puzzle that requires solving. Either the community will resolve the issue, or I'll have to think of a quicksmart way of resolving it myself (more than just a few computers/servers to deal with - like way more)
[05:56] <YankDownUnder> Wife swapping, or memory swapping?
[05:56] <nafiux> Is for a class propose
[05:56] <nafiux> I need to use a partition (swap for example) for put data... only data, bytes...
[05:56] <miststlkr> YankDownUnder:  slim chance, but perhaps I can help.  I came in after you asked though, mind repeating?
[05:56] <nafiux> I'm not interested in write files, only brute data
[05:57] <justin_> l8r
[05:57] <bobthemilkman> nafiux: Um, dd if=inputfile of=/dev/devicename?
[05:57] <bobthemilkman> You'll overwrite any sort of partition on the device, though.
[05:57] <foenix> #pocoo
[05:57] <chrisa> Has anything changed regarding apt's handling of build-dep in 10.04+? On 9.10 I can pull down nearly everything I need between installing build-essential and then build-deping gcc, but on 10.04 I can't seem to get gcc's build dependencies installed. It just never installs anything and I haven't installed them myself
[05:57] <bcao_laptop> hi ,all Is there a spice client for ubuntu 10.10 64 bit ?
[05:57] <bobthemilkman> Also, you shouldn't do that to your swap partition unless you want to crash your server.
[05:58] <nafiux> Ok.. i need other swap partition
[05:58] <bobthemilkman> Actually, you shouldn't do it to any mounted partition unless you want to crash your server and/or delete your file structure.
[05:58] <bobthemilkman> No, you need another blank partition.
[05:58] <YankDownUnder> miststlkr, There is an issue with Nautilus/Gnome browsing SMB shares on a network. There is a Dbus error that spits forth precious little information. It turns out to be a gvfs issue, and one must upgrade to gvfs-1.6.4 in order to resolve the issue. However, if you try to just force the install, you break everything that uses gvfs. Ergo, updates are out of the question, and a different resolution has to be found. :)
[05:58] <nafiux> and the S.O. do not use this second partition
[05:58] <bobthemilkman> You don't want another swap partition, you want another partition.
[05:59] <bobthemilkman> But unless you're doing advanced file structures, you could just write to a file instead of a device. It works equally well.
[05:59] <nafiux> ok, other partition... but, can I write data without filenames?
[05:59] <gogeta> bobthemilkman: i think he can use dd to dump to a image file
[05:59] <nafiux> I can't use files...
[05:59] <bobthemilkman> Well, you can write data to /dev/[nameofdevice], which is a pseudo-file that points to a device.
[05:59] <nafiux> I need to write bytes in a partition (new)
[05:59] <nUboon2Age> Question: I understand there is a way for us to put Unity on Ubuntu.  Anyone know how to do that?
[05:59] <nafiux> ok
[05:59] <histo> !unity | nUboon2Age
[05:59] <bobthemilkman> nafiux: A file is just a sequence of bytes. A device is just a sequence of bytes.
[06:00] <bobthemilkman> You can put a file in a partition in a device. It's the exact same.
[06:00] <bobthemilkman> Well, almost the exact same.
[06:00] <histo> histo
[06:00] <nafiux> But I need that the system don't know the filename
[06:00] <gogeta> nafiux: need to write data to swap???
[06:00] <bobthemilkman> Well, run gparted, create a new partition, and then use dd of=/dev/[newpartitionname]
[06:01] <bobthemilkman> You'll be writing bits to the new partition without any use of files on the storage medium.
[06:01] <nafiux> :o
[06:01] <bobthemilkman> Keep in mind, though, that /dev/[partitionname] is itself a pseudo-file used by the operating system to point to the device.
[06:01] <nafiux> what type of partition? ext3? ext4? or without type
[06:01] <bobthemilkman> Doesn't matter. When you start writing data to it, it will override the partition type.
[06:01] <nafiux> Yes, I know that all in linux are pointers...
[06:01] <miststlkr> YankDownUnder:  Sorry... as I said, chances were slim, but it was worth offering
[06:02] <gogeta> nafiux: if you want raw data dump to a image file grab the hex brake down to assembly
[06:02] <YankDownUnder> miststlkr, Your "empathy" towards my conflict is well noted, my friend! Beers on me tonight! :)
[06:03] <gogeta> nafiux: whont be mutch use other then you did it
[06:03] <bobthemilkman> But it still seems much easier to just of to any file within a partition, than to a partition itself.
[06:03] <nafiux> But I need write data every moment, I can't dump to a imagen and next grab the hex...
[06:03] <bobthemilkman> I'm not sure I understand the purpose of your homework.
[06:03] <rosander> So after an update none of my tool bars will start. No xorg logs entries nor message. Any thoughts on where I can find info on the problem?
[06:03] <nafiux> ok! :P the purpose Is:
[06:04] <gogeta> nafiux: i dont see a point in this but whatever
[06:04] <greezmunkey> YankDownUnder: I was just looking into what it takes to "remove" Nautilus, and still keep the system operating properly...I understand now why you don't want to do it.
[06:04] <nafiux> I need to make a server that save data from a user, but the server can't know the filename... the server need to write raw data, in a partition and return the start position of the data to the user
[06:05] <nafiux> and next the user need get the file from the server sending the start position and lenght of file
[06:05] <YankDownUnder> greezmunkey, Hehehehehe...yeah - lovely that, eh! As I said, now it's a "puzzle" to be solved...not merely a problem...hehehehehe...yet another reason to make sure there is beer on hand for this... :)
[06:05] <gogeta> nafiux: so you need to do it to a file not the entire partation
[06:05] <bobthemilkman> nafiux: You can use a file as a partition.
[06:06] <gogeta> bobthemilkman: whont the system still see the file after dd clone it
[06:06] <ubuXubu> good morning.
[06:06] <bobthemilkman> Well, here's what you can do.
[06:06] <nafiux> But I need to use a partition (for example a pointer to /dev/hd3)
[06:07] <bobthemilkman> dd if=rawdatafile of=/dev/[partitionname]
[06:07] <nafiux> Can I write data with: fopen("/dev/partitionname")?
[06:07] <bobthemilkman> Then you'll have the contents of rawdatafile at the beginning of that partition
[06:07] <nafiux> ok!!
[06:07] <bobthemilkman> Yes
[06:07] <miststlkr> alright all, guess tonight isn't my night to get help.   :-D
[06:07] <bobthemilkman> But you might as well just write the contents of rawdatafile to another file, not another partition.
[06:07] <nafiux> Wow! I want to read about "dd" command now... :)
[06:07] <gogeta> bobthemilkman: well he said they cant see the file but still be able to remake it
[06:08] <bobthemilkman> I mean, you can do dd if=/dev/sda1 of=$HOME/partitionimage
[06:08] <bobthemilkman> And then you can edit partitionimage instead of /dev/sda1
[06:08] <bobthemilkman> gogeta: I mean place a file in a file.
[06:08] <gogeta> bobthemilkman: of he can brake it down to base64 hehe
[06:08] <greezmunkey> YankDownUnder: About the only common thread I can find to side step the issue is to use midnight commander, mc or the like to move files to and from shares.
[06:09] <gogeta> bobthemilkman: then its just raw code in a test fine
[06:09] <gogeta> text
[06:09] <bobthemilkman> Create a file that contains, for example, 0000FFFF0000FFFF
[06:09] <nafiux> yes...
[06:09] <bobthemilkman> Or rather, 0000FFFF0000EEEE
[06:09] <bobthemilkman> Where FFFF and EEEE are the contents of different files
[06:09] <rosander> ubuntu 10.10 update, desktop lost all toolbars. Anyone help debug it?
[06:09] <gogeta> nafiux: well if you can use a file base564 is easy
[06:09] <gogeta> base64
[06:10] <bobthemilkman> And then your user needs to remember the positions 0x5 and 0xC.
[06:10] <bobthemilkman> But you can do that with an actual file, not with a partition.
[06:10] <bobthemilkman> The data works the exact same way.
[06:10] <nafiux> ok bobthemilkman!
[06:10] <bobthemilkman> You only need to use an actual partition to do this if you're worried about access times or are developing a new filesystem, which I don't think you are.
[06:10] <gogeta> bobthemilkman: guess i like to cheat
[06:11] <nafiux> gogeta, what about base64?
[06:11] <gogeta> nafiux: base64 takes files and turns them into raw code text files
[06:11] <gogeta> nafiux: used to be a old trick before email attacments
[06:11] <nafiux> Yeah, I remember...
[06:12] <gogeta> nafiux: then you can reassemble it back to whatever useing a base decoder
[06:12] <nafiux> Yes! I'ts good idea, because if the server administrator open the file, he can't read the content easy
[06:13] <gogeta> nafiux: just garbeled
[06:13] <gogeta> nafiux: code heh
[06:13] <gogeta> nafiux: and unless hes relly old school he whont knoe its base
[06:13] <gogeta> nafiux: probly assume its some sort of crypto
[06:14] <nafiux> yeah

[06:17] <bobthemilkman> Sterist: So you want me to use google for you?
[06:17] <bobthemilkman> You could have had your answer by now if you just googled it.
[06:17] <rooks> Sterist, lol.... it almost fits into notalwaysright.com
[06:18] <chowtamah> hello please, some one help me to configure webcam in 10.10
[06:18] <Sterist> bobthemilkman believe it or not, there are actually people who have gone through the mic fixing process before and know exactly where to find the link
[06:18] <Sterist> never asked a specific person
[06:18] <bobthemilkman> Sterist: And if you google for that, I bet one of them has written a guide on how to do it!
[06:19] <Sterist> !troll | bobthemilkman

[06:19] <enkrypted> Hello, when I installed Ubuntu I chose to put my home folder from a previous install in a encrypted partition mounted at /home. I did this through the installer.

[06:19] <bobthemilkman> If you don't want to solve your problems, then I can't help you.

[06:22] <YankDownUnder> greezmunkey, Currently, my "simple" resolution is to create a script for users workstations that runs on login to mount the smb shares on the network; that's the "bandage" (or Microsoft solution); I'll make a permanent resolution after the application of large quantities of alcoholic substances (i.e., beer)

[06:29] <histo> sorry vboxvideo not xboxvideo.  What am I missing to get X to start?
[06:33] <gogeta> histo: you may have to add your ccount to the video group so x cant start
[06:33] <gogeta> account
[06:33] <gogeta> can
[06:34] <gogeta> histo: you also will need xorg
[06:34] <gogeta> histo: so you have the drivers
[06:34] <ubuntu> ok so display is broken in ubuntu 10.04
[06:35] <ubuntu> how the hell can i fix it without reinstalling
[06:35] <histo> gogeta: I have xorg let me check if i'm in video group
[06:35] <histo> gogeta: I'm not in video group but I don't think ubuntu uses that group
[06:35] <gogeta> histo: i beleve it does
[06:35] <gogeta> histo: at least on my install i have it
[06:35] <ubuntu> anyone know how to fix a current install from live cd?
[06:36] <histo> gogeta: well with sudo X doesn't start either
[06:36] <realeyes> thats what im trying to do
[06:36] <gogeta> histo: humm
[06:36] <realeyes> but im trying to fix grub
[06:36] <gogeta> histo: did you slect the wrong video driver
[06:36] <histo> gogeta: that would eliminate the video group possiblity
[06:36] <histo> gogeta: I didn't select one. X does now
[06:37] <gogeta> histo: you still can using reconfigure i beleve
[06:37] <gogeta> histo: being its a server to gui it may not have those auto features
[06:37] <ubuntu> how can i find out the exact error gnome is having with trying to start x??
[06:38] <ubuntu> its somehting about the display
[06:38] <histo> gogeta: it's nto a server. and Xorg defaults to detecting equipment now
[06:39] <gogeta> histo: being its complaning abought a driver it seems it configued wrong or your lacking the nedded driver
[06:39] <gogeta> histo: the driver package should be like xorg-ati or whatever card
[06:40] <ubuntu> is there a way to reset xorg back to defaults so that it loads my desktop??
[06:42] <gogeta> ubuntu: you should be able to uninstall whatever driver messed up your system from the term
[06:43] <ubuntu> gogeta, my install just hangs at the loading screen
[06:43] <ubuntu> gogeta, then says something about not being able to start the display manager
[06:43] <ubuntu> gogeta, and i didnt install any new vid driver

[06:44] <mbergamo> hey everyone, sorry to bother you but i have a quick question. i set up a partition for lubuntu but my wireless (and wired) internet wont work. I have a broadcom BCM4321 and it works on Ubuntu, but without any internet connection I'm struggling with getting it on my Lubuntu 10.04. I downloaded the appropriate .deb file but whenever I try to move it from Ubuntu to my Lubuntu partition it says 'error opening file, permission deni
[06:44] <mbergamo> ed'. I tried sudo cp <.deb_file> /dev/sda5/home/<user>/ but its saying "no such file or directory", does anyone have any idea on how to set this up?
[06:44] <ActionParsnip> !broadcom | mbergamo
[06:44] <gogeta> ubuntu: umm
[06:44] <realeyes> the problem i'm having is when i choose to boot linux from grub2 it gives a list of errors before booting into 10.10
[06:44] <shebang_wafflesa> Does anyone know if you can specify CFLAGS with a switch in GNU make?
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> mbergamo: you can use the livecd to get those broadcom things going
[06:45] <SamVib> anybody wanna help me?
[06:45] <ubuntu> gogeta, ps-in on a live cd right now
[06:45] <realeyes> modprob: FATAL: could not load (etc...)
[06:45] <gogeta> ubuntu and even after a reboot same result hua
[06:45] <ubuntu> gogeta, yep, several reboots
[06:45] <ActionParsnip> SamVib: ask your question and find out
[06:45] <Jordan_U> realeyes: What errors? Do you have any problems after booting?
[06:46] <ActionParsnip> realeyes: if you pastebin your dmesg output, it will help
[06:46] <gogeta> ubuntu sounds like something whent wrong after it woke up probly something got crupted
[06:46] <ubuntu> gogeta, anyway to fix it without reinstalling?
[06:46] <SamVib> So here's the problem: when I try to boot into the live CD it boots back into windows.
[06:46] <gogeta> ubuntu you should be able to invoke fsck from the live cd and check the disk for any errors
[06:46] <ubuntu> gogeta, i really hate loosing everything
[06:46] <realeyes> i will post a pic of the screen
[06:46] <SamVib> and when I try to install it alongside of windows I get errors.
[06:46] <ubuntu> gogeta, how exactly would i do that?
[06:46] <gogeta> ubuntu and hopwefully recover
[06:47] <gogeta> ubuntu like sudo fsck /dev/sda1
[06:47] <ubuntu> gogeta, can i do that from live cd?
[06:47] <ActionParsnip> SamVib: did you md5 test the iso you burned? Did you burn slowly? Did you check the CD for defects just after booting the CD
[06:47] <SamVib> I burned at the standard. how do I check the md5?
[06:47] <gogeta> ubuntu or whatever partation ubuntu is on
[06:47] <SamVib> thanks for the help.
[06:47] <ubuntu> gogeta, i think my hd is /dev/sda or something like that, how can i find out the exact wording for it?
[06:47] <gogeta> fdisk -l
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> SamVib: if you didn't md5 test, how do you know you iso was complete or consistant??
[06:48] <SamVib> I just burned it using Imgburn
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | SamVib
[06:48] <ActionParsnip> SamVib: you don't, so you need to test it, bad iso will make a bad install cd and need redownloading
[06:49] <SamVib> Alright.
[06:49] <ubuntu> gogeta, how do i unmount it?
[06:49] <gogeta> ubuntu shouldent have even got mounted
[06:49] <ActionParsnip> SamVib: also when the cd starts to boot, press spacebar and you can test the cd for defects
[06:50] <gogeta> ubuntu but might click it unmount
[06:50] <SamVib> it doesnt boot at all
[06:50] <gogeta> right
[06:50] <gogeta> ubuntu should be in your desktop or natuls
[06:50] <ActionParsnip> SamVib: ok, did you set your bios to boot cd first?
[06:50] <SamVib> yes
[06:50] <ubuntu> says its clean?
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> SamVib: how did you put the iso on the cd? What steps did you take?
[06:51] <SamVib> I burned it using Imgburn
[06:51] <gogeta> ubuntu it should have threw a scan
[06:51] <realeyes> http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9544/imag0003s.jpg
[06:51] <hasek79> if i put an upgraded vid card into my ibm's pci slot with unbuntu 10.04 see it or do i have to install drivers first?
[06:51] <ubuntu> gogeta, it was like immediate that the msg came back
[06:51] <ActionParsnip> SamVib: so you never extracted the files from the iso?
[06:51] <realeyes> that is what i see after i hit enter on my grub2 screen
[06:51] <SamVib> it just was a .iso
[06:52] <ubuntu> gogeta, i think it did a scan, but it was only one line
[06:52] <ubuntu> gogeta, says this, /dev/sda6: clean, 227809/6807552 files, 12426786/27225600 blocks
[06:52] <SamVib> I also had it installed on a partition, and it rebooted then I hit Ubuntu, and took me to a black screen that said something Grub2
[06:52] <ActionParsnip> hasek79: if you use a proprietary driver currently, remove it. Udev will more than likely pick it up or you can load proprietary drivers for it once you boot with the new card in
[06:53] <SamVib> GNU Grub that was it
[06:53] <realeyes> Jordan_U, ActionParsnip: http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9544/imag0003s.jpg
[06:53] <ActionParsnip> SamVib: do you have more than 1 optical.  I will be back if It doesn't work.
[06:55] <ActionParsnip> realeyes: the flash has hidden the important data
[06:55] <mbergamo> ActionParsnip: i've been on that page once before, but i keep having trouble getting into the restricted folder, which is why i downloaded the package to send over to the other partition. can i change the folder with chmod? and if so what parameters must i put in. thank you in advance!
[06:55] <SamVib> wait ActionParsnip boot into the Live cd then f12?
[06:55] <realeyes> ActionParsnip: I will reboot and get another pic
[06:55] <gogeta> ubuntu kinda odd coming back clean yet something whent bad
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> SamVib: no, f12 will make the cd boot
[06:56] <SamVib> ok
[06:56] <ubuntu> gogeta, i know, hope this next scan fixes this
[06:56] <ActionParsnip> mbergamo: just mount the other partition as writable, or use a usb storage
[06:56] <ubuntu> gogeta, otherwise ill be back shortly
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> mbergamo: or run: gksudo nautilus ,and copy it over
[06:57] <ubuntu> gogeta, thank you, and here go nothin..
[06:57] <gogeta> ubuntu might have to boot recovery and run sudo touch /forcefsck
[06:57] <hasek79> how do you see what your computers spec are? like i want to see how big my vid card is? how would i go about doing that?
[06:57] <ActionParsnip> mbergamo: or kdesu doplhin ,for kde (you get the idea)
[06:58] <ActionParsnip> hasek79: lshw-gtk for gui, or run: lshw | less ,for terminal based goodness
[06:58] <Keshi> It there anyway I can see which programme started a process.
[06:58] <SamVib_> it just asked me if I wanted to boot it to safe mode and all that stuff..
[06:58] <SamVib_> didnt work
[06:58] <Keshi> When I login something starts using Python and running my computer's CPU to 100%.
[06:58] <ubuntu> gogeta, brb
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> SamVib: could try using usb. Sounds like a bad disk to me
[06:59] <ActionParsnip> Keshi: I think if you run: ps -ef | grep -i python ,one of the colomns should identify the parent
[07:00] <SamVib_> I don't really have a USB to work with ActionParsnip
[07:01] <ActionParsnip> SamVib_: try the cd in another system if you can, or try a usb optical drive if you have one
[07:01] <tim> hello I am having driver issues any one can help?
[07:01] <gogeta> tim: na
[07:01] <gogeta> lol
[07:01] <hasek79>  ActionParsnip: under display is the "bits" how many megs the vid card is?
[07:01] <SamVib_> I found a USB drive actionparsnip. how would I go about booting from there
[07:01] <Keshi> ty.
[07:02] <gogeta> hasek79: hes gone again
[07:02] <hasek79> oh
[07:02] <gogeta> lol poor guy took me sersly
[07:02] <hasek79> dang it
[07:02] <hasek79> im still learning
[07:03] <guntbert> gogeta: please don't make such "jokes" in a support channel
[07:04] <realeyes> ActionParsnip: http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/417/imag0008o.jpg
[07:05] <gogeta> realeyes: not her man
[07:05] <realeyes> what?
[07:05] <gogeta> realeyes: he left
[07:05] <JoeMaverickSett> realeyes: are you familiar with commandline? if so give this a try http://goo.gl/502Sp
[07:05] <gogeta> realeyes: or its another darn netsplit
[07:06] <realeyes> JoeMaverickSett: Are you understanding the problem my computer is having?
[07:06] <JoeMaverickSett> realeyes: according to the bug report it's very similar..
[07:06] <realeyes> that link you gave me is all in french :/
[07:06] <KB1JWQ> realeyes: Roll back to the previous kernel?
[07:07] <realeyes> uh no. Make my current kernel work?
[07:07] <JoeMaverickSett> realeyes: but you can follow the commands. with google translate. :)
[07:07] <gogeta> KB1JWQ: i wouldent being it had a expolite
[07:07] <hasek79> can you create a launcher to open the terminal then run a cmd?
[07:07] <gogeta> hasek79: yep there called scripts
[07:08] <hasek79> how?
[07:08] <glitchd> gogeta, hey i figured it out, this ubuntu that u were just talking to
[07:08] <gogeta> glitchd: was it crupption
[07:08] <JoeMaverickSett> realeyes: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/642421/comments/37 tells you in english. :)
[07:08] <glitchd> gogeta, not exactly
[07:08] <realeyes> thanks man
[07:09] <glitchd> gogeta, i was trying to get my machine to turn off the touchpad while im typing so i had to put some lines into xorg.conf
[07:09] <gogeta> hasek79: open your favret text edtior then put your comand in then save it as a sometime.sh then make it excutable
[07:09] <gogeta> glitchd: haha
[07:09] <hxcjonnysniper> i need help opening ports for transmission
[07:09] <glitchd> gogeta, evidentially what i put was messing with the display manager
[07:09] <JoeMaverickSett> realeyes: but i recommand a backup of initramfs.conf before you do. to be safe. :)
[07:09] <gogeta> glitchd: at least you found it
[07:10] <glitchd> gogeta, i noticed it said there was a problem at line 14, so i read down to line 14 and jus deleted it until end section, saved and rebooted and bam my desktop came up on next boot
[07:10] <hxcjonnysniper> i need help opening ports for transmission
[07:10] <gogeta> hasek79: well save it with whatever name you like you can do multi comands etc
[07:10] <glitchd> gogeta, thank you for your help, i thought i was goin to have to reinstall, thats a pain in the gonads
[07:10] <ActionParsnip> hxcjonnysniper: are you behind a router?
[07:10] <guntbert> hxcjonnysniper: ports - where do you want to open them?
[07:11] <glitchd> gogeta, and im kind of a noob at this, so small problems are huge for me to fix
[07:11] <gogeta> glitchd: heh
[07:11] <realeyes> Then use Synaptic to reinstall initramfs-tools.
[07:11] <realeyes> How do I do that?
[07:11] <realeyes> apt-get ???
[07:11] <hxcjonnysniper> guntbert: yeah im on the routers ip address site too. i dont know what to put under trigger port and trigger start.
[07:12] <JoeMaverickSett> realeyes: sudo apt-get install --reinstall initramfs-tools
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> hxcjonnysniper: then port forward on the router, set the pc you are running transmission on to a static ip so that dhcp lease expires don't break the connection
[07:12] <gogeta> hxcjonnysniper: it may be ufw blocking said port and notroughter most are upnp these days
[07:12] <ActionParsnip> realeyes: sounds good to me
[07:12] <ubuntunoob> I was wondering if there are any programs for ubuntu that i can see all ips that connect to me and disconnect from them if needed, I want to use to kick people from my game whenever some1 hacked joins it.   TY!
[07:12] <glitchd> gogeta, yea nd ive got a super fucked up memory, so even when i learn something, its not long before its gone from my brain..
[07:12] <realeyes> Thanks guys.
[07:12] <realeyes> Seems to be working.
[07:12] <JoeMaverickSett> let's say i have a .backup file and i want to roll back my changes by using it, how should i do it?
[07:12] <gogeta> glitchd: lol
[07:12] <JoeMaverickSett> realeyes: it works? :)
[07:12] <realeyes> One more reboot will let me know.
[07:12] <guntbert> hxcjonnysniper: that depends greatly on your router - please look into the router's documentation or ask their support
[07:13] <JoeMaverickSett> realeyes: hehe! i'm crossing my fingers. :P
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> hxcjonnysniper: the port is defined in transmission prefs, set that manually too so you know what's what
[07:13] <glitchd> gogeta, lol 94 lincoln grand marquis are no good for the brain
[07:13] <glitchd> gogeta, especially at 60 mph
[07:13] <glitchd> gogeta, lol
[07:13] <ActionParsnip> ubuntunoob: do you mean connect to the pc itself?
[07:14] <hxcjonnysniper> actionparsnip:how do i set it on atatic ip?
[07:14] <guntbert> glitchd: please watch your language and keep to the topic
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> JoeMaverickSett: the file extension doesn't tell you much in linux
[07:14] <glitchd> guntbert, ok
[07:14] <JoeMaverickSett> ActionParsnip: or .bak ?
[07:14] <ActionParsnip> JoeMaverickSett: how did you make the file,
[07:14] <ubuntunoob> yes....so I can disconnect them from my room/game
[07:14] <glitchd> gogeta, thx again
[07:15] <JoeMaverickSett> ActionParsnip: no i'm was just wondering if i made a backup file. such as this; sudo cp /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf.backup
[07:15] <guntbert> JoeMaverickSett: don't worry about static right now, that can come later as well (if needed at all)
[07:15] <realeyes> it worked
[07:15] <realeyes> now all i see is 'too many connections'
[07:15] <realeyes> before it boots
[07:15] <ActionParsnip> hxcjonnysniper: use network manager. Right click it -> edit connections. Wired networks. Click auto eth0 and click edit, ipv4 tap change to static ip. You may need to set dns manually so use <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:15] <JoeMaverickSett> guntbert: i don't get you. O_O
[07:15] <guntbert> JoeMaverickSett: sorry, wrong nick
[07:15] <JoeMaverickSett> guntbert: ah, okie. :D
[07:16] <tangodown40> Does anyone know how to force the ACCESS KEYS to stay on, instead of only appearing when ALT is pressed?
[07:16] <guntbert> hxcjonnysniper:  don't worry about static right now, that can come later as well (if needed at all)
[07:16] <ActionParsnip> JoeMaverickSett: you can rename a file to anything you want, the extension doesn't change the data so throwing file extensions out does nothing
[07:16] <JoeMaverickSett> ActionParsnip: okie, thanks. :)
[07:17] <ActionParsnip> JoeMaverickSett: then delete the current one and copy the backedup file in then match the name
[07:17] <JoeMaverickSett> ActionParsnip: alrighty. btw, is there a standard extension for a backup file? no?
[07:18] <ActionParsnip> JoeMaverickSett: if you cp back (in your example) by reversing the 2 filenames, it will restore (good backing up by the way, rollback paths are very professional)
[07:18] <JoeMaverickSett> ActionParsnip: ah, okie. that clears it. thanks again. :)
[07:18] <hxcjonnysniper> actionparsnip:there is no static ip option.
[07:19] <ActionParsnip> JoeMaverickSett: there's no standard extension for much in linux, windows uses the extension to identify the file. Linux is more advanced and doesn't care
[07:19] <JoeMaverickSett> ActionParsnip: heh, okie.
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> hxcjonnysniper: drop down the dhcp bar and one other option will be dhcp (address only). You may find it worded as 'manual'. I don't know the precise wording and I am not at my pc so I cannot give you EXACTLY what it will say
[07:20] <ActionParsnip> JoeMaverickSett: you can rename .png to .jpg and the OS will still see a png file
[07:21] <JoeMaverickSett> ActionParsnip: ah, that i've seen. :)
[07:21] <guntbert> ActionParsnip: don't you think that configuring a static ip address isn't exactly urgent for hxcjonnysniper ?
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> JoeMaverickSett: similarly, bash scripts don't need unsightly .sh extensions but they do let you know its a shell script, bit its not necessary
[07:22] <hxcjonnysniper> guntbert:my connection is messing up. kind of important. maybe not to you but to me it is.
[07:22] <JoeMaverickSett> ActionParsnip: hhmm, very well explained. :D
[07:22] <ActionParsnip> guntbert: just avoiding in future saying the link doesn't work when dhcp does a number on him
[07:23] <guntbert> hxcjonnysniper: ActionParsnip: sorry, I was obviously misreading (thinking about transmission ports ....)
[07:23] <Paul__12> Im trying to install netbook remix on a netbook that i just got, and it seems to be stuck at "preparing to install" does anyone know how long it should take
[07:23] <ActionParsnip> guntbert: its early :)
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> Paul__12: did you md5 test the iso you transferred,
[07:24] <Paul__12> no, im not sure how to do that
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> Paul__12: then the iso may have been damaged as you haven't checked its health
[07:24] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | Paul__12
[07:25] <ubuntunoob> I play Diablo2 and I play their open servers where people can join my game via my pc, but I want to be able to remove/disconnect people i want out of my game,  any idea on  any programs for ubuntu?
[07:25] <ActionParsnip> Paul__12: bad iso will cause bad install experience and will need redownloading
[07:26] <ActionParsnip> ubuntunoob: if you are the server you can kick whom you wish, its built into the game
[07:26] <Paul__12> yeah thats what i thought too, so i redownloaded it and followed the directions on the ubuntu site
[07:27] <Eryn_1983_FL> hey peeps  has anybody worked with awesome on  ubuntu karmic? iam  trying to get it to read my config file..  and it won't..
[07:27] <Eryn_1983_FL> i  asked there too... they all asleep or ignoring me
[07:27] <Eryn_1983_FL> in awesome channel..
[07:27] <Agent001> Is there a program that shows to-do list on a ubuntu desktop?
[07:27] <ActionParsnip> Paul__12: test the iso, if its ok, we can try different stuff. Torrents add extra checking in the torrent protocol so can help get a good image
[07:27] <ubuntunoob> not built into the game, I need the ability to kick there ip addresses from being connected with me...
[07:27] <Eryn_1983_FL> i am  trying to get it to put my  apps in  cetain  tags and my background to be  set..
[07:28] <Paul__12> oh so try torrenting it?
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> Paul__12: sure, it strains the canonical servers less too
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> !find awesome
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> !info awesome
[07:28] <Paul__12> alright, could a shitty thumb drive be the problem too?
[07:28] <ActionParsnip> Funky
[07:29] <Paul__12> and just to make sure, i let it run like an hour or so, and it was on the preparing screen still
[07:29] <ActionParsnip> Paul__12: sure, if you get a boot, there's an option to check the usb consistancy, just like a cd
[07:29] <Paul__12> thats not normal right?
[07:29] <Eryn_1983_FL> yeah..
[07:30] <Eryn_1983_FL>  ActionParsnip  i know what  awesome is..
[07:30] <codeblade> anyone used new fedora?
[07:30] <guntbert> !ot | codeblade
[07:31] <ActionParsnip> Eryn_1983_FL: it was for my own education, that cool with you?
[07:32] <bullun88> who can give me link for the router hacking
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> Paul__12: flash drives have limited writes and do degrade with time
[07:32] <guntbert> bullun88: this channel is for ubuntu support only, please don't ask here
[07:32] <ActionParsnip> !ot | bullun88
[07:32] <bullun88> owh thanks
[07:32] <Paul__12> yeah, its fairly new though
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> bullun88: try ##networking
[07:33] <ActionParsnip> Paul__12: still worth checking, you have an issue so you need to find out what works so you can zero in on what's bad. Also test ram
[07:34] <Paul__12> how long should it take to install though, not over an hour?
[07:35] <ActionParsnip> Paul__12: on a 300mhz cpu with 128mb ram it could possibly take longer
[07:35] <Paul__12> its got a gig and i think its 1.6ghz

[07:47] <nuckable> hi everyone, i know this isn't really strictly ubuntu-related but i have a little bit of a problem with my putty showing garbled characters when i try to input utf-8 characters
[07:47] <petan> nuckable: what os
[07:48] <nuckable> petan: i'm on windows 7
[07:48] <nuckable> it used to work fine until not long ago, and i have no clue what changed in the meantime
[07:48] <nuckable> i already tried plugging a keyboard into the linux box itself and the characters show up fine there
[07:48] <petan> nuckable: you connect to english bash? or you use some localization on target os
[07:49] <nuckable> so it has to be because of putty, but i really don't have any clue what else i could try, btw i did set the character encoding to utf-8 in the settings
[07:49] <elleryss> hi
[07:49] <pog> good morning, is there somebody who installed usb_modswitch under Ubuntu 8.04?  I'm wondering whether it's quicker and less risky than a release update to 10.04?  (never touch a running system:-)
[07:49] <nuckable> petan: the locale prints out everything as de_AT which is fine, cause i'm from austria
[07:49] <nuckable> all the LC_Variables
[07:49] <sureshot> Hello all it has been a long time since i used ubuntu. i want to customize the kernal for amd multicore. can someone point me in the right direction
[07:50] <elleryss> hello
[07:50] <mo--> nuckable: are all characters garbled or are some showing up fine?
[07:50] <petan> elleryss: hi, just ask
[07:51] <crashanddie_> nuckable, sorry to ask this, but you did change the Window > Translation  > Received data assumed to be in which charset: to UTF8 ?
[07:51] <petan> try unicode
[07:52] <elleryss> how do i connect to my printer via wifi from my windows
[07:52] <crashanddie_> sureshot, --> that way
[07:52] <elleryss> i used samba
[07:52] <petan> elleryss: what relation with ubuntu it has
[07:52] <petan> elleryss: did you configure it in cups
[07:52] <elleryss> it detect but but cant fine the printer
[07:52] <elleryss> im new in ubuntu
[07:52] <elleryss> noobie i should say
[07:53] <sureshot> did not understand crashanddie
[07:53] <mo--> elleryss: can I assume you opened the printer settings and tried adding a network printer -- if so, how far did you get?
[07:53] <crashanddie_> sureshot, you asked us to point you in the right direction
[07:53] <petan> elleryss do you see printer but can't connect? is it accessible in /etc/samba/smb.conf?
[07:54] <elleryss> i cant see the printer
[07:54] <crashanddie_> sureshot, it was a joke. Sorry. To be fair, the kernel already has all the requirements to leverage multicore AMD CPUs, there should be any need for recompilation
[07:54] <elleryss> but i can see my windows
[07:54] <mo--> elleryss: sorry, I assumed you wanted to use a printer that you made accessible in windows with ubuntu - forget my question please.
[07:54] <petan> elleryss: but machine? did you set sharing
[07:54] <elleryss> yea mo
[07:54] <sureshot> ok it is 254 am in the morning hehehe so how do i get the kernel source for amd multi core
[07:54] <petan> elleryss: aha
[07:55] <crashanddie_> sureshot, kernel source for amd multicore?
[07:55] <mo--> sureshot: kernel source is for all target systems ;)
[07:55] <mo--> sureshot: are you looking for an image?
[07:55] <nuckable> now on the box itself it looks like this öäüß€
[07:55] <nuckable> crashanddie_: yes i did
[07:56] <sureshot> ok i miss read your post crashanddie sorry .. have not been in bed yet .. i would like to custimize it for learning purpouses
[07:56] <nuckable> mo--: the first 3 show up fine
[07:56] <elleryss> i can see my windows on *share
[07:56] <crashanddie_> sureshot, then just learn how to compile the kernel, and how to use menuconfig
[07:56] <elleryss> but cant see any printer
[07:56] <sureshot> ok is that in the documentation some ware
[07:57] <mo--> newbie--: can you access any share on the ubuntu machine from windows?
[07:57] <nuckable> these characters show up fine on your side: öäüß€ right?
[07:57] <newbie--> nope
[07:57] <nuckable> should be oau with 2 dots on top
[07:57] <newbie--> i cant sir
[07:58] <mo--> nuckable: its oe ae ue ss and euro
[07:58] <nuckable> then a german sharp s (that looks like a b) and a euro sign
[07:58] <nuckable> mo--: exactly
[07:58] <nuckable> now look at how it looks from putty
[07:58]  * newbie-- needs to get use to asking
[07:58] <nuckable> sec
[07:58] <newbie--> ubuntu is just pretty
[07:58] <newbie--> loveing it
[07:58] <newbie--> :)
[07:58] <airtonix> !enter
[07:58] <nuckable> mo--: Ã¶Ã¤Ã¼Ãâ¬
[07:59] <mo--> nuckable: looks like it was written in utf8, and now displayed in the wrong charset
[07:59] <newbie--> mo
[07:59] <nuckable> and i have no clue why, it used to work fine... =/
[07:59] <allan8904> hey, is it possible to get rig of the top bar in firefox?
[07:59] <airtonix> allan8904, have you tried ?
[07:59] <rooks> nuckable, it looks like garbage here too
[08:00] <nuckable> i doubt it's the server, cause it works fine on the box itself, so it's gotta be something about putty
[08:00] <mo--> newbie--: I'm trying to remember how I set up samba access... ;) what happens when you access the ubuntu box via its ipaddress? do you get asked to enter a username and password, or does it timeout?
[08:00] <nuckable> rooks: the stuff from putty or from the linux box?
[08:00] <allan8904>  airtonix: not the one with file, edit, view and all that, the one with the icon, minimise maximise and close
[08:00] <airtonix> allan8904, again.... have you tried ?
[08:00] <rooks> nuckable, on box it was ok, the last test was garbage
[08:01] <rahsputin> good morning
[08:01] <newbie--> it doesnt say anything it just stop
[08:01] <allan8904>  airtonix: nope, because i have no idea where to start....
[08:01] <nuckable> rooks: that's my problem =(
[08:01] <rooks> nuckable, *hug*
[08:01] <airtonix> allan8904, right click it ?
[08:01] <rooks> :)
[08:01] <nuckable> locale shows all variables set properly as de_AT.utf-8
[08:01] <nuckable> except LC_ALL
[08:01] <allan8904>  airtonix: so what your'e saying is get rid of the window decorations?
[08:01] <nuckable> that one is empty
[08:01] <airtonix> ...
[08:02] <rahsputin> when a library package recommends for instance: libdbus  must i necessarily also install dbus etc... ?
[08:02] <rahsputin> libdbus recommends dbus
[08:03] <nuckable> hmm... when i press Ã¶ it shows as 2 characters
[08:04] <nuckable> btw, i've also tried re-downloading putty and erasing the old configuration in the registry
[08:05] <nuckable> oh wait, now i remember, i messed with the ssh, server, could that be related?
[08:05] <crashanddie_> nuckable, what do you think?
[08:05] <nuckable> crashanddie_: well i remember that i wanted to try to set up the system to use key authentication instead of password
[08:05] <gogeta> nuckable: probly
[08:06] <nuckable> that would make sense o_o
[08:06] <crashanddie_> rahsputin, when you buy a dvd from the thrift shop, and the salesman recommends a dvd in the same section, must you necessarily also buy it?
[08:06] <airtonix> allan8904, http://imagebin.org/122620
[08:06] <gogeta> nuckable: i think ubuntu does both by defult
[08:06] <nuckable> is there someplace on ubuntu where i can find a copy of the original ssh configuration?
[08:06] <airtonix> allan8904, is this your first time using firefox ?
[08:06] <gogeta> nuckable: at least i knoe it sends keys
[08:06]  * nuckable failed at making a backup =(
[08:06] <airtonix> nuckable, not if you didn't back it up before modifying it
[08:06] <nuckable> ugh
[08:06] <rahsputin> crashanddie_: ;-)
[08:07] <airtonix> !enter
[08:07] <allan8904> airtonix: thats not what i'm trying to do...
[08:07] <airtonix> allan8904, yes it is....
[08:07] <gogeta> nuckable: you can always do a rmeove purging the config and resinstall it will be defult again
[08:07] <gogeta> nuckable: remove and remove config
[08:07] <allan8904> airtonix: so you're telling me that i can make the whole top bar dissapear?
[08:07] <nuckable> i guess that's my best bet
[08:08] <airtonix> allan8904, you can make the navigation bar the address bar and the menu bar dissapear
[08:08] <nuckable> i really need to backup config files =/
[08:08]  * airtonix steals nuckables enter key
[08:08] <nuckable> airtonix: sorry =(
[08:08] <cong06> I want a  "launcher" on my flash drive that will run a script relatively. It seems ".desktop" files won't work for this. Any ideas?
[08:09] <airtonix> cong06, you can give scripts icons
[08:10] <allan8904> airtonix: thats not what i'm after, i want to make the bar at the very top dissapear. Like the one with the down icon (on your screenshot), the page name, "mozilla firefox", minimise maximise and close
[08:10] <nuckable> alright, i'll give that a try thanks for your help guys <3
[08:10] <allan8904> airtonix: i think it might be part of the window decoration
[08:10] <airtonix> allan8904, thats not the top bar... it s called the window manager frame
[08:10] <allan8904> airtonix: ok then....window manager frame :)
[08:11] <airtonix> allan8904, nothing to do with firefox. and if you're not running compiz or openbox then you can't remove window frames per application
[08:11] <cong06> airtonix: can you point me to where? Also can you advise on how to code into the script that it shouldnt prompt to "display"?
[08:12] <airtonix> cong06, script (or really just a file ) should be marked executable... and to make it look "pretty" you right click it and select properties then click the large icon button on the top left to change the icon
[08:12] <slide> I made a launcher with the following command, "java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp ~/bin/Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame" but it just doesnt launch even though the same command works in a terminal
[08:12] <cong06> except that changes settings in Nautilus. I'm interested in saving all the related files in a flash drive, so the script can be put in any computer with the settings showing up there.
[08:13] <airtonix> cong06, then start using a liveusb ?
[08:13] <SamVib> is there a taskiller for ubuntu?
[08:13] <airtonix> SamVib, yes : either xkill (then click on window) or gnome-system-monitor
[08:15] <cong06> slide: what I did is I wrote a script with the line: "/usr/bin/java -jar /home/user/.minecraft/bin/start_minecraft.jar". Then I linked it in /usr/bin/minecraft
[08:15] <cong06> slide: now all I do is: alt+f2, minecraft. Unless I missed the initial issue?
[08:16] <slide> thanks let me try that
[08:18] <slide> awesome that worked thanks
[08:18] <slide> now to get the docky icon to be this better higher resolution version heh
[08:21] <nuckable> that fixed it =3 öäüß€

[08:35] <vries> crashanddie_: thanks :)
[08:35] <cong06> bukem: replace your keyboard. maybe plug in a USB keyboard and see if it works better

[08:45] <tessarakt> How do I change partitions after installation?
[08:45] <bukem> just rumig' through the ubuntu forums like you are dumpster diving
[08:46] <tessarakt> partman is not really working
[08:46] <Cyber_Akuma> tessarakt: gparted
[08:46] <tessarakt> it says it cannot find udpkg
[08:46] <tessarakt> Cyber_Akuma, that is not really as intuitive as partman ...
[08:47] <tessarakt> especially, it does not show LVM stuff properly
[08:47] <Cyber_Akuma> Then you should have asked how to use partman under ubuntu, not how to manage partitions :P
[08:47] <Cyber_Akuma> I have never used partman though so I cant help you there
[08:51] <normmand> Initially, can't get video working in skype and google chat. after adding in a script, can get video in skype. anyone have worked on google chat video here?
[08:53] <tessarakt> gnaa ...
[08:53] <tessarakt> why can't those things just work?
[08:53] <linux_inferno> hey
[08:55] <S-CM> hello, i have a problem with my modem
[08:55] <guest1> thetabyte is here&
[08:55] <linux_inferno> Im trying to install 10.10 server 64. It hangs when I get to 73% (Updating list of available packages) Does anyone know how to fix this? My google-ing has been unfruitfull
[08:55] <guest1> thetabyte is here?
[08:56] <crashanddie_> linux_inferno, sounds like your internet connection isn't working very well.
[08:57] <SC-M> hello i have problem with my modem (OLIVE V-ME 110)
[08:58] <linux_inferno> crashanddie_: That sounds logical. However, I am sharing the same connection with this machine, plugged into the same machine. I tried using DHCP during the install and using manual configuration. No difference. Also no difference when trying to use onboard lan and pci-e lan cards
[08:59] <linux_inferno> crashanddie_:  plugged into the same switch****
[08:59] <crashanddie_> linux_inferno, so you're getting a correct IP address?
[08:59] <wechat> is there any sense in RoundCube Webmail on DCHP-Internet box?
[08:59] <linux_inferno> crashanddie_: Yes. I have the correct IP
[08:59] <linux_inferno> SC-M: What is your problem
[08:59] <crashanddie_> linux_inferno, what repository is it trying to connect to?
[09:00] <linux_inferno> crashanddie_: How would I check
[09:00] <linux_inferno> Do I have to run the install with expert mode or with quiet off?
[09:01] <llutz_> wechat: static ip would be preferred but if you hold your dns uptodate, dhcp shouldn't matter
[09:02] <rocket16> Previously, IBus supported Bengali, Hindi and a group of several languages. But now, only Chinese is being supported by it by default. How can I set it to type in Bengali and Hindi? (Indo-Aryan languages of India)
[09:02] <robman> evening all
[09:03] <wechat> llutz_ thanks , I have to install bind9? What to try for training dovecot+postfix+courier : Ubuntu Server or ubuntu Desktop with X?
[09:04] <linux_inferno> wechat: why not run a VM
[09:04] <llutz_> wechat: a dns-proxy like dnsmasq should be sufficient and is much easier to setup than bind9. server/desktop... its your choice, i only run debian-servers :)
[09:07] <tgywa> Hi
[09:07] <chipmink> does anyone have a favorite linux irc client?
[09:07] <wechat> linux_inferno: I was asked to try webmail and I saw some ubuntu server 8 with postfix. I really like it and I gonna try coz it's cool But I have simple comp in my firm where I began to work -- and even admins don't know how to up webmail. I'm gonna show'em that linux is cool. That's all/ Thanks. oh, I used gNewSense , I really liked that debian-lenny-like-distro, but very-very old packages. I respect Debian, but in small town in ^russia^ it's better began with U
[09:08] <tgywa> How can I test if a machine will crash?
[09:08] <tgywa> How can I test if an Ubuntu machine will crash?
[09:08] <tgywa> can it be by putting too much load?
[09:09] <wechat> chipmink: wechat - it has nice wordcompelition but you have to add some perl scripts for sound. For quick speech I use pidgin.
[09:09] <robman> tgywa - that's a very broad question 8)
[09:09] <chipmink> i was tryin to install purple pack on pidgin
[09:09] <chipmink> but it refuses to install
[09:09] <wechat> tgywa: ddos, icmp flood, to much loggin to fit the disk
[09:10] <chipmink> i am almost tempted to go to mirc under wine
[09:10] <wechat> chipmink: what is purple pack anyway?
[09:10] <wechat> chipmink: OMG
[09:11] <tgywa> wechat, thank u ! ... but do you think that ... an Ubuntu machine should stand all those pressures ... to call it stable ...?
[09:12] <wechat> tgywa: experienced admins use some apps to attack their boxes -- they must know'em
[09:12] <robman> chipmink: xchat is ok-ish if you like gui's (but not my fav)
[09:12] <pan> ls
[09:12] <chipmink> purple pack is plugins for pidgin
[09:13] <pan> i don't think so
[09:13] <tgywa> wechat, The thing is that I am running Ubuntu 10.04  on Hyper-V ... with the new Linux integration component incorparated. the question now is ... is that can I relay on that kind of server setup  ? Or is it kind of unstable

[09:50] <tapas> i'm trying to compile an app that depends on gtk 1.2
[09:50] <tapas> it seems the libgtk1.2-dev packages aren't in ubuntu anymore?
[09:51] <wechat> what app? why so old?
[09:51] <tapas> it's called soundtracker :D
[09:51] <daniele> i have to copy all files from a folder that has whitespaces in its name from terminal, any help? if i do "for file in `ls /my/folder`; do cp /my/folder/$file /folder/copy/$file; done;" doesnt work.
[09:51] <tapas> wechat: actually it doesn't find gtk-config either
[09:51] <qzt1827> tapas: isn't soundtracker avaiable as a ubuntu package?
[09:51] <llutz_> daniele: cp /folder\ with\ space/* /target/
[09:52] <tapas> tapas@olive:~/src/bld/soundtracker-0.6.8> apt-cache search soundtracker
[09:52] <tapas> tapas@olive:~/src/bld/soundtracker-0.6.8>
[09:52] <qzt1827> tapas: oh..
[09:52] <qzt1827> tapas: in 8.04 it was still present
[09:52] <mynameistux> hey, what text file do I have to modify to claim ownership of a partition, and set it to mount to a folder within my own home directory
[09:52] <qzt1827> tapas: also in debian lenny
[09:52] <daniele> llutz: i cant do that! i have many files and folder with whitespaces inside the 'master' folder, i must do it in the for loop..
[09:53] <mynameistux> I want /dev/sdc3 to be owned by mynameistux, and to mount to /home/mynameistux/old_home_dir at boot
[09:53] <wechat> mynameistux: ЫныеуьКуысгуСВ,

[09:54] <crashanddie_> mynameistux, /etc/fstab
[09:54] <mynameistux> I just don't know what to put into fstab
[09:54] <bukem> why does adobe not make products for linux!?!
[09:54] <tapas> ok it seems no more gtk-1.2 support in ubuntu?
[09:55] <wechat> mynameistux: look what is in /etc/mtab when partition is mounted and copy it and modify the text
[09:55] <mynameistux> it's trying to mount in the right place, but I don't own it
[09:55] <wechat> bukem: adobe > /dev/null
[09:55] <qzt1827> tapas: yeah. so you have to build gtk-1.2 from source as well
[09:55] <mynameistux> so it screws up the startup and I have to press S to skip mount
[09:55] <wechat> bukem: there is abobe air for linux and pdf reader
[09:55] <llutz_> mynameistux: mount it, then "sudo chown -R mynameistux:mynameistux /home/.../folder"
[09:56] <bukem> wechat .. oh yeah .. but it main products dreamweaver...photoshop etc
[09:56] <tapas> how inconvenient
[09:56] <wechat> photoshop > Pixel -- I like it but it for money
[09:57] <tapas> and compiling gtk is such a hassle
[09:57] <DigiSAS> morning
[09:57] <mynameistux> llutz_ should that take a little while?
[09:57] <crashanddie_> mynameistux, /dev/sdc3 /home/mynameistux/old_home_dir ext3 errors=remount-ro 1 0
[09:57] <llutz_> mynameistux: depends on sdc3 size

[09:58] <DigiSAS> could anybody be so kind as to help me add an App i added with Ubuntu Software Centre onto the program menu?
[09:58] <rage_>  there is a problem in skype, after 2 min video conf its crash. ubuntu 10.10.
[09:58] <mynameistux> I guess it has to change the owner for every single file
[09:58] <freeburn_> and for a painful reason most of the development libreries are missing from ubuntu so its not a good building environment
[09:58] <rage_> can anybody help me?
[09:58] <llutz_> mynameistux: thats what it does
[09:58] <freeburn_> i usually build stuffz in fedora...
[09:58] <bukem> rage_ skype is working on my 10.10
[09:58] <ubuntu> i just want to upgrade current ubuntu with ubuntu10.10file.iso.................
[09:58] <bukem> ubuntu : you got a usb?
[09:58] <ubuntu> yes
[09:58] <rigved> DigiSAS: can you see the app inside the Applications menu?
[09:59] <wechat> bukem: wait I got some links for
[09:59] <rage_> its work fine for me too. but its crash after 2 minutes of video call :)
[09:59] <bukem> ubuntu: can you load it on there and boot from usb?
[09:59] <freeburn_> you need to download the alternate cd if you wanna upgrade offline
[09:59] <freeburn_> live cd cant be used for upgrading
[09:59] <DigiSAS> rigved: no, the app in question is cutecom and minicom, i can launch from command line
[09:59] <mynameistux> ok, that looks done
[09:59] <mynameistux> all my old files are in a folder in my current home folder
[10:00] <bukem> rage_ : havn't worked video call .. you sure it wasn't the other dudes problem
[10:00] <ubuntu> im on liveusb now running ubuntu 10.04
[10:00] <mynameistux> and when I right click them, I am listed as the owner
[10:00] <mynameistux> you guys are LEGENDS

[10:01] <bukem> wechat: awe .. thanks
[10:01] <tarzeau> ~/KDE/Share/Apps/Clipper what's that good for?
[10:01] <tapas> DigiSAS: isn't minicom a console application?
[10:01] <bukem> ubuntu: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1616821
[10:01] <DigiSAS> tapas: yes it is, but cutecom isnt
[10:01] <rigved> DigiSAS: i think that cutecom will be available under Applications > Accessories. please check and tell.
[10:01] <wechat> tarzeau: clipboard manager?
[10:01] <bukem> ubunut: forget that last one
[10:02] <bukem> ubuntu ^
[10:02] <ubuntu> :)
[10:02] <tapas> DigiSAS: yeah the menu should have them already if you installed them via apt
[10:02] <Jordan_U> randomparticle: Are you booting a 64 bit kernel, and does your hardware use 64 bit EFI?
[10:02]  * tapas is shocked.. no more gtk1.2 support..
[10:03] <ubuntu> :(
[10:03] <qzt1827> tapas: really a pity. soundtracker is a very good program for making modfiles.
[10:03] <randomparticle> Jordan_U: yes to both, thanks
[10:03] <rigved> DigiSAS: if yes, just right click on cutecom and then select "Add this launcher to panel". same goes for minicom.
[10:03] <tapas> https://launchpad.net/~adamkoczur/+archive/gtk1.2
[10:03] <tapas> there's a ppa it seems
[10:03] <qzt1827> tapas: but we must admit is uses outdated technology like gtk1.2 and only OSS (no ALSA) for sound output
[10:04] <Jordan_U> randomparticle: Try booting without the noefi parameter.
[10:04] <ubuntu> how do i upgrade using a local .iso file?????????
[10:04] <qzt1827> tapas: it does work with OSS emulation of ALSA, but it blocks the soundcard for other sound apps
[10:04] <tapas> qzt1827: that's ok
[10:05] <tapas> qzt1827: my soundcard allows multiple opens :D
[10:05] <rigved> DigiSAS: if no, then right click on Applications, and select "edit menus".
[10:05] <Jordan_U> !upgrade | ubuntu
[10:05] <randomparticle> Jordan_U: could do. i have tried video=efifb irqpoll acpi=force before and the screen went blank
[10:05] <qzt1827> tapas: wow
[10:05] <randomparticle> but perhaps that's not caused by the missing noefi
[10:05] <Jordan_U> randomparticle: I assume you've tried booting with no extra kernel parameters?
[10:06] <randomparticle> there's no video without video=efifb
[10:06] <tapas> qzt1827: and it's a pity that the OSS emulation doesn't do software mixing for all apps..
[10:06] <randomparticle> unfortunately, there are millions of different kernel argument permutations :)
[10:06] <tapas> i tried to talk the alsa devs once into letting me try to implement it
[10:06] <tapas> they would not have it
[10:06] <songlixu> 你好
[10:07] <ubuntu> cool thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!

[10:09] <user81_> Hello, hope anybody can help. I'm having a weird dpkg problem:  E: Fout tijdens verwerken van bups-driver-gutenprint (NewVersion1)
[10:09] <user81_> , E: Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/nl.archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_lucid_main_binary-i386_Packages
[10:09] <user81_> . The problem seems to be that dpkg is referring to bups-driver-gutenprint instead of cups-driver-gutenprint. I've checked /var/lib/dpkg/status but no mention of bups-driver-gutenprint, just the proper cups line. Should I change it to bups, eventhough I know it is the wrong package name?
[10:09] <randomparticle> might it be a problem that the keyboard is not directly attached to the machine?

[10:09] <xuekan> how to update to a newer version of ubuntu?

[10:10] <xuekan> for example from 10.04 to 10.10.
[10:10] <Jordan_U> randomparticle: How is it attatched?
[10:11] <user81_> xuekan: modify apt to accept non-LTS upgrades
[10:11] <user81_> then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:11] <randomparticle> USB cable to Apple Cinema Display USB port, ACD to computer
[10:11] <randomparticle> i think it's just a normal USB hub in the display
[10:11] <randomparticle> i would attach directly to the machine, but the cable won't stretch that far
[10:12] <songlixu> 找一个翻译bei

[10:15] <Jordan_U> randomparticle: Can you try with a kernel with Ubuntu's kernel config, either the stock kernel or a 2.6 kernel from the mainline kernel "ppa": http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ ?
[10:16] <user81_> It's not a root is full problem, it refers to a package 'bups-driver-gutenprint' which should be 'cups-driver-gutenprint' the latter of which is referred to by /var/lib/dpkg/status
[10:16] <user81_> must have happened during an update
[10:16] <randomparticle> Jordan_U: ok, i will do that
[10:17] <Benkinooby> hi, how can i disable the system beep everythime i delete something in nautilus?
[10:17] <cong06> Benkinooby: System > Preferences > Sound ?
[10:19] <Benkinooby> cong06, i already set sound theme to "no sound" and muted "alert volume"
[10:19] <wechat> user81_: you can't upgrade at all?
[10:19] <randomparticle> i'm confused by this "noefi" option. it's widely recommended in various forums for efi booting, and yet supposedly disables efi runtime service access. i'm not sure why that would be a good idea or not
[10:19] <user81_> nothing, everything results in an error
[10:19] <ao> hi,can someone introduce some book about latex,i want to study,thanks
[10:19] <user81_> apt-get -f install, yadayada doesn't work either
[10:19] <obengdako> help rhythmbox banshee and totem won't play through pulseaudio unless i'm using jack-pulse and gstreamer settings are fine to use pulseaudio but only these apps don't work they work if i kill pulseaudio then they probably use alsa
[10:20] <user81_> tried dpkg-reconfigure cups-driver-gutenprint also to no avail
[10:20] <cong06> Benkinooby: just wondering. Can you disable the system beep in bios?
[10:20] <Jordan_U> randomparticle: There are times when it's better to try to access things directly than try to use the EFI runtime services. The largest example is that you simply can't use the runtime services from 64 bit EFI with a 32 bit kernel.
[10:21] <randomparticle> ok
[10:21] <wechat> user81_: delete some files .lock
[10:22] <Benkinooby> cong06, hm, not sure. would have to check. but i think it is not advisable to disable it, because the beep is useful in case of real errors. i don't believe that i have to disable the system beep fully just to disable it on nautlilus
[10:22] <randomparticle> what happens to BIOS calls when EFI booting? i notice quite a few bios irq warnings in amongst the kernel messages, mostly relating to the SATA controller. thanks
[10:22] <cong06> Benkinooby: true. I'm just not sure how to approach that since I've never heard of nautilus system beeping on deletes.
[10:22] <obengdako> help rhythmbox banshee and totem won't play through pulseaudio unless i'm using jack-pulse and gstreamer settings are fine to use pulseaudio but only these apps don't work they work if i kill pulseaudio then they probably use alsa

[10:25] <tukadafoonday> Hey guys, can you use windows drivers for the printer? Or do they have to be linux specific?
[10:25] <user81_> i'll give that a try
[10:27] <cong06> Benkinooby: did you see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=595620 ?
[10:28] <cong06> Benkinooby: actually, that link seems useless. idk? google's not turning up anything?
[10:29] <Benkinooby> cong06, i always google before i ask here... ofc i keep on googling
[10:29] <cong06> ;)
[10:29] <Benkinooby> cong06, atm i am purging nautilus and reinsalling ti with fresh configs... maybe it helps

[10:30] <rigved> i have ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. it can only be run in low-level graphics mode. should i convert to xubuntu or lubuntu? which one "looks" better and is low on resource-consumption?

[10:31] <Scarra3> Ok I still can not figure out why my alps touchpad does not work on Ubuntu 10.10
[10:31] <MikeH> I've set some files to g+w (-rw-rw-r--) chgrp them to 'mygroup', but owner is mike. I've added another user 'bob' added him to ehd group, but he still does not have permission to write to these files?
[10:31] <Benkinooby> cong06, i even followed http://www.arsgeek.com/2006/08/23/how-to-turn-off-the-annoying-system-beep-in-linux-debianubuntu/ without luck....
[10:32] <wechat> MikeH: chgrp, chmod
[10:32] <lestat> Benkinooby: tried modprobe -r pcspkr ?
[10:32] <julie3> does anyone know how i can access files on an unrecognized hard disk with a live cd?
[10:32] <MikeH> wechat, yes, I've chgrp -R ehd . and then chmod -R g+w .
[10:32] <Scarra3> Any ideas?

[10:35] <MikeH> already done :/
[10:35] <lestat> MikeH: when you add a user to a group, you need to relogin for the change to take effect, or use newgrp
[10:35] <wechat> maybe SetUserID or SetGroupID but unsecure
[10:35] <MikeH> lestat, thanks for that, but still no luck :/
[10:36] <MikeH> does it matter that there are two softlinks "en route"?
[10:36] <MikeH> ie. /home/bob/sites -> /sites/
[10:36] <MikeH> then /sites/somesite/ -> /home/mike/sites/somesite/
[10:36] <lestat> Benkinooby: it's the system beep from your terminal that is annoying you ?
[10:36] <wechat> MikeH : gconf-editor > apps > nautilus > set advanced permission > you will see everything in rwx-style
[10:37] <MikeH> bob just goes to /home/bob/sites/somesite/
[10:37] <MikeH> wechat, I do not have X installed.
[10:37] <MikeH> g+w should be sufficient, shouldn't it?
[10:37] <Benkinooby> lestat, i set the beep to visual there so it just blinks what is ok for me. it is nautilus that drives me crazy!
[10:38] <wechat> MikeH: true-lish
[10:38] <lestat> Benkinooby: a ok :\
[10:38] <MikeH> wechat, '-rw-rw-r--' suggests that group permissions are working ok, anyway?
[10:38] <Benkinooby> lestat, i am really deparate right now. i really tried everything.
[10:38] <Benkinooby> desperate
[10:39] <wechat> MikeH : files or folders? without x you can't open folders then try rwX
[10:39] <MikeH> wechat, files
[10:39] <MikeH> I can read them
[10:39] <MikeH> I just cannot write them
[10:40] <wechat> give us ls -la
[10:40] <MikeH> I just did
[10:40] <MikeH> all the files are -rw-rw-r--
[10:40] <wechat> and group of them?
[10:40] <MikeH> -rw-rw-r--  1 mike ehd
[10:40] <wechat> and the directory where are the files permission
[10:41] <MikeH> ehd being the group I've been referring to as 'mygroup'

[10:41] <obengdako> julie3, so  if the filesystem is unknown it is likely to be destroyed
[10:42] <julie3> can fsck do that?

[10:43] <ph0n7r1c> but i have a problem
[10:43] <wechat> julie3: e2fsck
[10:43] <ph0n7r1c> the problem is i have the tftp server setup with the files need but it not booting
[10:43] <bazz> if i have a drive that i'm currently not booting (i.e. i have a couple of partitions that i'm keeping data on but nothing else), is it definitely safe to install grub on it?  (that is, i don't risk messing up my existing partitions by installing grub to the mbr right?)
[10:44] <wechat> MikeH : links doesn't follow the rights probably

[10:44] <wechat> julie3: the command to check disk
[10:45] <Licuadora> Before I disconet my internet connection, are there any Ubuntu essential packages to run the sys good?
[10:45] <julie3> wechat: but i did fsck while the disk was mounted and that's what caused it to break, i think
[10:45] <obengdako> julie3, fsck is delicate and depending on how you use it you could corrupt your disk i had my disk corrupted by that once
[10:46] <julie3> obengdako: so it could erase the whole disk?
[10:46] <wechat> julie3: something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/529261/
[10:47] <obengdako> julie3, do you really have important stuff on your harddrive
[10:47] <MikeH> wechat, lestat : lol `newgrp` didn't do it.
[10:47] <MikeH> Logging out and in did :D
[10:47] <wechat> MikeH: there are differnet groups -- try everything from the beginning
[10:48] <julie3> obendako: school files that are quite important
[10:48] <MikeH> right
[10:48] <MikeH> last thing
[10:48] <lestat> MikeH: have you restarted X ?
[10:48] <MikeH> lestat, no X, but logging out of ssh and back in again solved it
[10:48] <lestat> MikeH: well that's what i told you first .. :p
[10:48] <wechat> user81_: dpkg --configure -a
[10:49] <MikeH> lestat, I thought you said newgrp would do the same :P
[10:49] <obengdako> julie3,  hmmm the disk should be still be recoverable
[10:49] <MikeH> next thing
[10:49] <MikeH> How do I stop files the new user creates from being inaccessible to me?
[10:49] <MikeH> setuid?
[10:49] <lestat> MikeH: yeah it should have, have you run newgrp <theNewGroup> ?
[10:49] <julie3> obengdako: i might try a systemrescuecd when i have a cdrom at hand
[10:49] <user81_> tried all of those, the same error keeps coming up; dpkg, aptitude and apt won't allow any commands except dpkg-reconfigure - which doesn't work either
[10:49] <wechat> setuid is unsecure
[10:49] <lestat> MikeH: but it will apply the new group only to the shell in which you run newgrp, not globally, for that you need to relogin
[10:49] <MikeH> lestat, embarassed - no just newgrp :(
[10:50] <MikeH> wechat, is there another way?
[10:50] <MikeH> wechat, I don't want files another user creates being inaccessible?
[10:50] <wechat> user81_: failsafe mode to try
[10:50] <lestat> MikeH: change your umask to prevent access to new files from other users
[10:50] <julie3> wechat: what do i do after i have done e2fsck?
[10:51] <MikeH> lestat, my point is, say 4 users have access. 1 creates a new file, and I have to manually chgrp and chmod g+w it so everyone can see it
[10:51] <MikeH> lestat, surely there is a way for this to be done automatically?
[10:51] <wechat> MikeH: chmod 700 file
[10:51] <MikeH> I thought this is what setuid was for
[10:51] <lestat> MikeH: aaah i see
[10:51] <liunxe> Hi ... How are you? .. I have a problem after the installation of GNOME Shell - Hundreds of windows opened up automatically - I can not do something .. Do you have a solution .. .. ?
[10:52] <Jordan_U> julie3: Just run "sudo fsck -y /dev/sdXY" and make sure it's not mounted this time.
[10:52] <MikeH> wechat, I think you misunderstand. I'm worried about not being able to access new files
[10:52] <MikeH> not restricting it
[10:52] <obengdako> julie3, please if there is an exact error message that could help please paste it here so we can see the exact problem so everyone  can know how to start
[10:53] <lestat> MikeH: you need sgid bit on parent folder + correct umask
[10:53] <_Geri_> hi, i heard there is a new windowing system in ubuntu. its compatible with X? (like.. a program who are using some xlib, will still run)?
[10:53] <MikeH> lestat, there are several levels of directories, so I need to sgid just the top one?
[10:54] <mattwj2002> hi guys
[10:54] <mattwj2002> I have a question
[10:54] <mattwj2002> is there any way to burn a blu-ray in Ubuntu?
[10:54] <user81_> wechat: It seems to be solved by deleting /var/lib/apt/lists/nl.archive*
[10:54] <wechat> julie: first read man e2fsck ; read man http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl8_tune2fs.htm
[10:55] <lestat> MikeH: like umask 770 and make the parent folder owned by you:group and 2770 on the parent folder,  then your file should create with proper perms
[10:55] <c0nv1ct> mattwj2002, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CdDvd/Burning
[10:55] <wechat> user81_: there can be Uncomplited downloaded files -- I deleted them all last problem with dpkg
[10:55] <itguru> I need to generate some RPM files to run under centos,  are there tools available to build them on my ubuntu box?
[10:56] <lestat> MikeH: every directory you want to create files in with proper permissions need the sgid bit, newly create folder will inherit the sgid bit iirc, but you need to set the sgid bit on existing folders
[10:57] <mattwj2002> thanks c0nv1ct
[10:57] <mattwj2002> :D
[10:57] <mammut> can I install mongo db on ubuntu dapper 6.06?

[11:17] <mk0> ?
[11:18] <Error404NotFound> whats the best note taking plus todo style tool for ubuntu? tomboy/gnote/sticky notes are very limited, i can't define tasks/priorities/projects
[11:18] <crashanddie_> mk0, you may want to tell us what the alt+selection does
[11:18] <jrib> Licuadora: you can use ~/.mozilla/plugins/ .  However, java is in the repositories, so you can just install it through APT and save yourself headaches
[11:18] <crashanddie_> !best Error404NotFound
[11:18] <jrib> !java > Licuadora
[11:18] <wechat> mk0 : what text to select
[11:18] <wechat> Licuadora: wait
[11:18] <crashanddie_> !best > Error404NotFound
[11:18] <Licuadora> jrib: I am using the 64bit .so file of Flash player
[11:18] <jrib> Licuadora: ok, use ~/.mozilla/plugins/ then
[11:19] <wechat> Licuadora: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml
[11:19] <Licuadora> But I can't find the plugins folder, is not there, not even with ctrl-h
[11:19] <madst3in> flash player just released a new update was crashing alot manualy install it
[11:19] <mk0> it's can be called like "free selection". select the  arbitrary part of text
[11:19] <jrib> Licuadora: create ~/.mozilla/plugins/ and use it
[11:19] <mattwj2002> according to a mac os formun it works under ubuntu
[11:19] <mattwj2002> :)
[11:19] <Licuadora> madst3in: What do you suggest?

[11:26] <redvil> hello there..anyone knows an iTunes equivalent app in Ubuntu?
[11:27] <ectospasm> redvil: I don't know of one that will interface with iTunes
[11:27] <ectospasm> redvil: there probably won't be one until Apple releases iTunes for Linux (heh. heh. heh.)
[11:27] <wolf23> hello firends
[11:27] <redvil> ectospasm: i already use rhythmbox for the mp3s but i need one that supports file transfer
[11:28] <ectospasm> redvil: from what to what?
[11:28] <redvil> ectospasm: thanks anyways..it's just that i've been 'googling' like crazy and couldn't find one
[11:29] <ectospasm> redvil: "support file transfer" is too vague, transferring from what device to what device?
[11:29] <redvil> ectospasm: i can transfer mp3 files from Ubunt to iPhone..but not other files..like pdf and lit files
[11:29] <wolf23> i have a file .avi 500 mb on the penrive , is there a way to decrease the size of this video to give more space on my pendrive?
[11:29] <ectospasm> redvil: gtkpod might be able to do that
[11:29] <redvil> ectospasm: ok then, i'll give that one a try..thanks
[11:29] <wolf23> sorry ...i have a file .mpg 500 mb on the penrive , is there a way to decrease the size of this video to give more space on my pendrive?
[11:29] <ectospasm> wolf23: convert it to a compressed format
[11:29] <rudi> wolf23, you could use a video editor to reduce the size
[11:29] <sresu> Hibernate(Suspend to disk) is not working. How to fix it?
[11:29] <wechat> redvil: always when googling crazy, nothing can be founded -- try to read attentionasly one site by another
[11:29] <ectospasm> wolf23: or *more* compressed format (-;
[11:30] <redvil> wechat: did that too..it seems that there really is no iTunes equivalent app for ubuntu
[11:30] <wolf23> ectospasm,  sorry the format is mpg.. how could i solve this plz
[11:30] <redvil> wechat: might try gtkpod for file transfers other than mp3s
[11:30] <ubuntu_every_ONE> Hey guys. Did anyone have issues with conky having Winsow Decoration apllied to it? And adding an exception for conky doesn't work?
[11:31] <ubuntu_every_ONE> Window**
[11:31] <ectospasm> wolf23: find a format that has a better average compression ratio.  Or move the .mpg from your thumbdrive
[11:31] <wechat> redvil: aTunes BUT it is not the newest iTunes style
[11:31] <rudi> ubuntu_every_ONE: what does your conkyrc look like?
[11:31] <ubuntu_every_ONE> Ubuntu should have multiple channels.
[11:31] <mk0> and one more question: years ago i had a gui music player with button "go to now playing song". very useful feature, i can't remember what player it was. does anyone know?
[11:32] <redvil> wechat: aTunes? is that in synaptic?
[11:32] <wechat> no no no
[11:32] <dariocravero> Hi guys, I'd like to know if there's -or will be- a 64-bit version of UNE. I'm getting an Asus 1215n which comes with the Atom D525 which is a 64-bit processor :)
[11:32] <rudi> mk0, not that i can think of sorry man :(
[11:32] <wechat> redvil : I don't know anythin 'bout gtkpod sorry
[11:32] <rudi> dariocravero: does it have >4GB of RAM?
[11:33] <dariocravero> rudi, 4GB
[11:33] <wolf23> rudi,  if the file  is 500mb how could i decrease it to be less size
[11:33] <dariocravero> rudi, actually it comes with 2 but I can upgrade to 4 (which I'll do as soon as I get it since I've already bought the modules)
[11:34] <wechat> mk0: http://www.atunes.org/?page_id=6 deb will be good for г
[11:34] <rudi> dariocravero: hmm, not sure if there will be 64bit version, but you could install a vanilla copy of 64bit Ubuntu onto it install the UNE extras over that?
[11:35] <rudi> wolf23, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[11:35] <rudi> wolf23, afaik 10.10 comes with a video editor preinstalled
[11:35] <dariocravero> rudi, well, I actually did something like that on my desktop :P I only installed the unity package though, is there anything else to it? Like some power management stuff or anything?
[11:35] <rudi> use that to try reduct the size
[11:36] <rudi> dariocravero: tbh, I don't think so. I'm running vanilla ubuntu on my netbook (I couldn't stand the UNE interface) and I haven't noticed any difference in battery life at all
[11:37] <dariocravero> rudi, great then :)
[11:37] <dariocravero> rudi, I'll go with that and let you know what happens :P
[11:37] <rudi> dariocravero: cool stuff :) hope it goes well!
[11:38] <dariocravero> rudi, it will! ;) btw, didn't you find that unity made the whole thing really slow?
[11:38] <rigved> how i make apt-get remove command ignore "couldn't find package name" errors. i want "if the package doesn't exist, then don't remove it amd continue with the remaining commands"
[11:39] <dariocravero> rudi, because it can be hugely improved by upgrading to kernel 2.6.36 in ppa
[11:39] <wolf23> rudi, 10.10
[11:39] <sagaci> rigved: does it have a -f force command?
[11:39] <wechat> rigved: apt-get remove file || apt-get <comman>
[11:39] <awanti> how to install OpenEMM .tar.gz package
[11:39] <wechat> rigved: || - means continue when error
[11:40] <wolf23> rudi, afaik is a video program?
[11:40] <rigved> sagaci: no
[11:40] <wechat> awanti: first `tar -xvzf OpenEMM.tar.gz` and  read all the INSTALL files there
[11:41] <rigved> wechat: so - sudo apt-get remove || <list>
[11:41] <wechat> rigved: wait I gonna use the `for` command

[11:42] <randomparticle> hard to know what to do at this point
[11:42] <wechat> rigved: ` for i in $(cat packages-to-delete-list.txt) ; { apt-get -why remove $I ; }
[11:42] <randomparticle> could i insert an initramfs script that would help diagnose this?
[11:43] <randomparticle> i can't type any diagnostic commands due to the mentioned lack of a working keyboard

[11:46] <maedox> meatbun: is it not in /var/log/syslog?
[11:46] <wechat> rigved: http://paste.ubuntu.com/529289/
[11:46] <meatbun> maedox, let me check
[11:47] <meatbun> maedox, ops.... where is syslog on fedora?
[11:49] <maedox> meatbun: not sure. don't think it's a file as on ubuntu
[11:49] <wechat> rigved: I used to make so : for  a in `dpkg -l | grep kde` ; { sudo aptitude -y purge $a ; }
[11:49] <acuster> hey all, how does one get one of the /etc/init.d/ scripts to start at boot time?
[11:50] <acuster> it seems there is a command update-rc.d but it is confusing with legacy info versus current approach
[11:50] <maedox> « update-rc.d script-name defaults » or supply start stop levels with priority like this: « update-rc.d script-name start 80 2 3 4 5 . stop 20 0 1 6 . »
[11:50] <jrib> !upstart | acuster
[11:51] <acuster> well, that's  a whole different game, no?
[11:51] <jrib> acuster: in any case, what exactly do you want to start at boot time?
[11:51] <wechat> maedox: sorry , maybe sudo apt-get -y remove $i
[11:51] <studentz> Hi there
[11:51] <acuster> /etc/init.d/slapd
[11:51] <rigved> wechat: thanx a lot :)
[11:51] <jrib> acuster: if you installed it with the repositories it probably starts already
[11:52] <acuster> I can manually add the symbolic links in the /etc/rc*.d/ files
[11:52] <wechat> rigved: man anyway I can't remember all for now
[11:52] <acuster> but that seems not how it is done anymore
[11:52] <wechat> rigved: thanks
[11:52] <acuster> jrib, but it does not
[11:53] <studentz> best front end for C++ app   GTK +    wxForm Qt ?
[11:53] <meatbun> maedox, i think it's call /var/log/messages but can't confirm. no read access to it
[11:54] <jrib> acuster: if there is no corresponding file in /etc/init/ then you can just do it how you used to (with update-rc.d.  Actually you were never supposed to use that as a user.  Instead use something like sysv-rc-conf).  But you should read the documentation.  Maybe it's just configured not to start with something like /etc/default/slapd
[11:54] <maedox> meatbun: I don't think messages contains what syslog will on ubuntu, but I'm not sure. there is a /var/log/secure on fedora which shows login sessions created.
[11:55] <meatbun> maedox, can you test it for me?
[11:55] <meatbun> ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>cat .bashrc
[11:55] <maedox> yes, one moment
[11:56]  * meatbun is going to upgrade his distro via local alternate cd method
[11:56] <maedox> yupp, /var/log/secure shows session opened from IP, and then closes it.

[12:01] <rigved> i have heard metacity is lighter than compiz
[12:01] <maedox> meatbun: yeah :D
[12:01] <theadmin> rigved: Go to preferences -> Appearance and disable desktop effects.
[12:01] <mary> wechat: i know but when i try to add HOME it tells me it cant
[12:01] <wechat> meatbun: yes - I have the problems with compiz and dpkg and kernel - so I used to say Alpha is not for work - but I DO like fresh packages anyway

[12:02] <maedox> meatbun: if you execute some commands you don't want saved you can add a blank/whitespace at the starte of the line ;)

[12:03] <wechat> mary : not that way
[12:03] <rigved> theadmin: ok. one moment
[12:04] <theadmin> rigved: Huh. Integrated things should just work, I dunno.
[12:04] <meatbun> maedox, oh... i didn't know blank spaces....part... now it all make sense. cause i copy and paste a lot. and wonder how  come it did not save
[12:04] <rigved> theadmin: it's very old laptop, like six years i think
[12:04] <wechat> mary : *launcher* is_not_ a link which is  home
[12:04] <theadmin> rigved: Okay, try this: "metacity --replace &" (it should give a number after this...) and then, after Metacity appears, type "disown NUMBER"
[12:04] <theadmin> rigved: From there, disable the effects %)
[12:05] <mary> wechat: ok so how do i do that?
[12:05] <wechat> mary: why not to choose add launcher with a comman like that probably `nautilus ~`
[12:05] <wechat> mary: nautilus /home/mary
[12:05] <rigved> theadmin: it's a Intel Graphics 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device
[12:06] <mary> wechat: tried that as well it doesnt work, but i just found out: open nautilus in home and drag the icon onto the panel
[12:06] <mary> that works

[12:12] <phoenix_firebrd> crashanddie_: thank you
[12:12] <wechat> quacked: install grub on another place and edit grub config file
[12:12] <theadmin> quacked: Huh. Well, um, you'd have to use GRUB either way, I think, the OS needs a bootloader
[12:12] <x0rs_w> I am having a weird problem within version 10.04. After being booted up for a few hours my internet starts doing weird things like whenever I try to load a base webpage (www.google.com, www.foxnews.com) it wants to download a save the index.htm or index.php file. I reboot and this fixed the problem for a few hours, but it eventually comes back

[12:13] <quacked> im trying that easybcd
[12:13] <theadmin> x0rs_w: Sounds like a browser issue to me

[12:13] <quacked> wechat, how?
[12:13] <theadmin> x0rs_w: Huh. How do you connect, do you use NetworkManager?
[12:14] <x0rs_w> theadmin: yes, network manager default wired connection
[12:14] <crashanddie_> x0rs_w, it really sounds like a server issue. Are you using some sort of proxy?

[12:19] <kmiksi> someone can help me with bash?
[12:19] <ahri^> kmiksi: what sort of help do you need?
[12:20] <theadmin> kmiksi: What exactly do you need help with? I could, probably :D
[12:20] <crashanddie_> theadmin, don't brag
[12:20] <kmiksi> ahri: I need to know, via bash, the size of one archive
[12:20] <crashanddie_> kmiksi, du -sh filename
[12:20] <kmiksi> thenks! ^^
[12:20] <kmiksi> thanks
[12:20] <theadmin> crashanddie_: ...I don't, I'm just saying that I know some of it and could help
[12:21] <ahri^> kmiksi: if you only want it to output the size, do: du -sh FILENAME | cut -f1

[12:24] <MikeH> is it possible to establish when a user was created
[12:24] <MikeH> and who by?
[12:24] <kmiksi> ahri: du -sb $file | awk '{print $1}'
[12:24] <MikeH> would it be in syslog or similar?
[12:24] <kmiksi> very thanks
[12:24] <ahri^> theadmin: thanks, worked a treat :)
[12:25] <ahri^> kmiksi: yeah awk works too, cut is probably very slightly more efficient, but then again you could chop the var up inside bash for more efficiency
[12:26] <ahri^> kmiksi: tbh, you should check out #bash -- they're very helpful
[12:27] <kmiksi> ahri: thanks, really
[12:27] <theadmin> ahri^: Well, to be precise "du" is not a bash built-in.
[12:27] <airwater> on school i can choose a own subject (for example asp.net) and make my own syllabus on it and work it out. Can somebody give me some advice which programming language atm is very hot and which is very much needed at jobs
[12:28] <theadmin> airwater: C and C++ is _always_ needed, Python is my favorite. Java is popular too.
[12:28] <airwater> i already got the subjects C++ and java theadmin
[12:28] <nothingspecial> sosaited: Install pulse audio volume controll
[12:29] <ahri^> theadmin: i was meaning chopping it up after var=$(du -sh), really
[12:29] <airwater> Sharepoint ??
[12:30] <nothingspecial> sosaited: pavucontrol rather
[12:30] <paolo88> hi
[12:31] <paolo88> Does gcc compile fortran code, or i must install gfortran too?
[12:31] <theadmin> paolo88: gcc is for C.
[12:31] <ahri^> airwater: i'd pick python, definitely. ruby's neat but not so widespread. php's useful to know (but not very pretty) (but then neither is C++ :p)
[12:32] <airwater> ahri^ is python usefully in the future, also with jobs you think ?
[12:32] <paolo88> theadmin: so nothing compilator for fortran code is include into gcc
[12:32] <jpds> airwater: Yes.
[12:33] <airwater> and what about Hibernate
[12:33] <charlie> hi
[12:33] <jpds> airwater: That's something bears do.
[12:33] <ahri^> airwater: i'm currently using python in my day job, so yeah
[12:33] <ahri^> airwater: and google uses python
[12:34] <airwater> so python and perl
[12:35] <airwater> i just learned Java in blue-J and in little bit eclipse is that the same as J2EE
[12:35] <ahri^> airwater: i wouldn't bother with perl unless you want to do lots of sysadmin stuff
[12:36] <ahri^> airwater: you do know that hibernate is a java framework for saving objects to a database?
[12:36] <airwater> no
[12:36] <ahri^> airwater: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibernate_(Java)
[12:37] <ahri^> it's an ORM
[12:37] <ahri^> (which is explained on an article linked from the above article)
[12:37] <airwater> i dont get the crap about orm :p

[12:39] <ahri^> i have a question about pulse audio; what's the accepted way to choose a networked PA device these days? it used to be padevchooser but that seems to be "the old way" ?
[12:41] <airwater> Are there any cool stuff you can build with java lol ?
[12:42] <psycho_oreos> define: cool
[12:43] <aeMaeth> it always seemed like java was frowned upon
[12:43] <ahri^> aeMaeth: by whom?
[12:44] <kencausey> Yesterday I came by because I was trying to install 10.10 AMD64 Desktop but as soon as I selected Install (or Try) from the installation menu I lost video support (the monitor would go into standby).  I could hear the CD churning away but I couldn't see to do anything.  rigved suggested I use the alternate CD to install and I did so.  But once I reached the restart point to boot up into my 'nearly'
[12:44] <kencausey> complete installation the same problem occurred.  This is a Dell desktop with onboard nvidia graphics.  Help?
[12:44] <airwater> i learned just java in blue-j is that the same as J2EE ?
[12:46] <rigved> kencausey: now when your boot starts, press shift. that will bring up the grub2 menu. select recovery mode. then select "low-level graphics mode"
[12:47] <dude> how can i save my running settings into an xorg.conf?
[12:50] <rigved> !offtopic | airwater
[12:51] <rigved> airwater: btw, blue-j is not completely same as java
[12:52] <kencausey> rigved: OK, where do I go after that to get properly working video?
[12:52] <pig> #A4eXiaStrasbourg
[12:52] <kencausey> rigved: oh, and thanks again ;)
[12:53] <rigved> kencausey: i have a laptop with the same problem. i am still trying to figure it out myself...:)
[12:53] <tsaknorris_> ineed xml help!?!?!?!? private chat someone?
[12:53] <kencausey> rigved: OK, I see.  Well, I guess I'm going back to Debian then, thanks.
[12:53] <rigved> kencausey: one option is to shift to a lighter version, like lubuntu.

[12:54] <tsaknorris_> is that correct
[12:54] <rigved> kencausey: or you can always load int failsafe graphics mode. only you will not have special desktop effects. everything else will work the same as in ubuntu.
[12:55] <wechat> tsaknorris_: http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/?chat=xml
[12:55] <rigved> kencausey: i don't mind loading onto failsafe graphics mode always. atleast i still have ubuntu running on my laptop. it's compromise between ease of use and looks

[13:21] <ronnie_vd_c> when i set lid_ac to "nothing" (do nothing when laptop screen closes on ac power), the screen blanks. Is this a bug?
[13:22] <dude> I thought there was some way to make xrandr dump the current settings into one xorg.conf - cause right now i don't have one
[13:22] <rigved> ronnie_vd_c: when you type anything after that, are you able to get your normal screen back?
[13:23] <ronnie_vd_c> rigved: my normal screen gets back when i open my laptop screen
[13:24] <ronnie_vd_c> also my secondairy screen is blanked, and showed when closing/opening
[13:24] <ronnie_vd_c> my goal is to use my secondairy screen, and keep my laptop screen closed
[13:24] <rigved> ronnie_vd_c: i think it is a power-saver feature.

[13:26] <rigved> !xrandr | dude
[13:26] <ronnie_vd_c> rigved: yes, its powersaving. but the settings lid_ac is in gconf apps>gnome-power-manager>buttons and when set to "nothig" it should do nothing. otehr possible values are blank, suspend,poweroff
