[00:00] <Euphus> yey the new kernel uppdate was a great one!! yeeey
[00:00] <dugger5688> wizard_: How did you install it?
[00:00] <cameron242> I have a question: If I download the 32 bit version of this (http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php), how would I install it?
[00:00] <civixier> mo__ I think we have lost eachother on the way. I have an xbox, connected to my computer via a crossover cable. I want to be able to fall asleep while watching something. Both the xbox and the TV turn theirself off when inactive, i want the computer to do the same thing.
[00:00] <wizard_> dugger5688, from a website added the repo and it installed
[00:00] <dugger5688> wizard_: are you on 10.04, and did you use the ppa method?
[00:00] <timemachine3030> I'm looking for a command line javascript interpreter but i can't find any in the repos. anyone know of something I can use?
[00:01] <pteague> any ideas on debugging what might be wrong with my audio? it worked fine yesterday & today it wasn't working at all except for line-in... i ran `aptitude safe-upgrade` before rebooting & now i'm not getting any audio
[00:01] <wizard_> dugger5688, yes ppa mate
[00:01] <Euphus> slidinghorn, ; why do not my tuxracer work ?
[00:01] <slidinghorn> !details | Euphus
[00:02] <eycel> doope
[00:02] <eycel> do
[00:02] <Euphus> innstaled it two times, never works
[00:02] <mo__> civixier: ah yes ;) so .. hmmm... let sleepd watch the network device you use to connect to the xbox and set the --tx-min to something useful ... like more than 100kbit or so ...
[00:02] <dugger5688> wizard_: What graphics card?
[00:02] <mo__> civixier: why don't you manually tell the computer to shutdown / fall asleep after a certain time? that's what I usually do ;)
[00:02] <jvai> hey, i just upgraded to 10.04, installed on an ibm thinkpad z60m, with radeon x600 graphics card... x keeps stalling!  can i down grade back to 8.04?
[00:03] <wizard_> dugger5688, ATI catalyst
[00:03] <civixier> mo__ That was my original question, if the computer counts itself as inactive if the network is "running" :)
[00:03] <Euphus> slidinghorn, ; i have a lucid 10.04, downloaded and installed tux2 and racer twice.. when i click on it nothing happens.
[00:03] <civixier> mo__ but it doesnt?
[00:03] <mo__> civixier: I wasn't here back then :p but yes, that's possible :)
[00:03] <cameron242> I have a question: If I download the 32 bit version of this (http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php), how would I install it?
[00:03] <slidinghorn> Euphus, run it from the terminal and post the error(s) to http://paste.ubuntu.com
[00:03] <mo__> civixier: you told sleepd to behave this way and it didn't work?
[00:04] <dugger5688> wizard_: closed source drivers or open source?
[00:04] <civixier> mo__ ahh, thank you ^^ so... how do I set the computer to hibernate after a certain time of inactivity? :D
[00:04] <civixier> mo__ I havent done anything so far
[00:04] <mo__> civixier: sec
[00:04] <wizard_> dugger5688, I've installed opengl, mfegg codecs and everything nothing wont play video nor did boxee how can I find that out mate, I installed ubunut and everything worked
[00:05] <cameron242> I have a question: If I download the 32 bit version of this (http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php), how would I install it?
[00:05] <Loshki> jvai: unless you made a full backup before you upgraded, you can't downgrade. Your closest alternative would be to reinstall 8.04 from scratch, or fix your x11 problem (easier said than done). Sorry...
[00:05] <Euphus> cameron242,  : google it
[00:05] <slidinghorn> !google | euph0ria
[00:05] <slidinghorn> oops
[00:05] <slidinghorn> Euphus, see what ubottu said
[00:06] <mo__> civixier: man 8 pm-suspend  - you can use it like this ... sleep 3600; pm-suspend; that would let it wait for an hour, then execute suspend
[00:06] <cameron242> Euphus: I have tried everything. I am literally like 2 hours new to this stuff.
[00:06] <cameron242> I thought this was support chat
[00:06] <wizard_> dugger5688, it says opengl in graphics card info
[00:06] <mo__> civixier: ugly thingy is, that if you ctrl-c the sleep, it'll go immediatly to suspend ... hmmm sleep 3600 && pm-suspend should do the trick ... sry about the mixup before
[00:07] <wizard_> dugger5688, version 8.723.1
[00:07] <slidinghorn> cameron242, it is...ignore Euphus -- he's been trolling the room for the past hour or so
[00:07] <civixier> thanks mo__, thats awesome, i will never again need to disturb my beauty sleep ^^ im gonna look into that
[00:07] <Euphus> cameron242, ; broadcom is not linux friendly :(
[00:07] <BoBsoN> how to lock updates of kernel?
[00:07] <matyd> i just installed ubuntu 10.04 desktop edition to my dell dimension 2400 (yes, old) and it works great for a while.... after a while the screen goes black and the top half of the screen flashes white intermittently, i am not understranding it... To get arond this (for a very short time, since it keeps doing this) i just reboot and that works for a litte bit.
[00:07] <cameron242> So basically
[00:07] <slidinghorn> Euphus, that's not true either.
[00:07] <cameron242> I can't even connect at all?
[00:07] <cameron242> o
[00:07] <mo__> civixier: np :)
[00:07] <cameron242> I found a download: http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
[00:07] <dugger5688> wizard_: Did you install the closed source drivers? Also have you tried many videos?
[00:08] <purvesh> can some one tell me how to say one thing togather two person at here like matyd, bla bla
[00:08] <slidinghorn> cameron242, take a look here, it will tell you how to use the driver there with ndiswrapper (which uses windows wireless drivers on linux systems): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=885847
[00:08] <BoBsoN> some .... not so clever person from canonical allows update still with stupid bug disallowing Gobi2000 G3 modem. 10.04 is so loooking like still pre alpha..
[00:09] <Loshki> purvesh: just put both names at the beginning, separated by a comma...
[00:09] <wizard_> dugger5688, don't no what I installed but it will play all video in mplay or micro tv but not in xbmc
[00:09] <matyd> anybody?
[00:09] <slidinghorn> cameron242, it's a little technical, but it should work
[00:09] <Euphus> slidinghorn, ; why use ndiswrapper?? oohh, because ikt is not linux friendly??
[00:09] <slidinghorn> !patience | matyd
[00:09] <slidinghorn> Euphus, do you have anything positive to contribute??   If not, then leave.
[00:10] <cameron242> slidinghorn: Do I run that from Accessories>>Terminal? (Sorry this is the first time I've ever used linux)
[00:10] <thune3> matyd: what video card are you running? "lspci | grep VGA"
[00:10] <cameron242> Sorry
[00:10] <slidinghorn> cameron242, the commands in that thread?  yes.
[00:10] <cameron242> ok, thanks
[00:10] <slidinghorn> np
[00:10] <matyd> thune3 one sec
[00:10] <Euphus> slidinghorn, ; why use apps to get something to work ? why dont get something THAT works, can`t i say my meaning?
[00:10] <bobbytek> Any have issues with thunderbird and 10.04?
[00:11] <check3r> when i click abort when the tool "systemtest" asks me for my password it freezes, is this normal?
[00:11] <mo__> bobbytek: no, but I don't use extensions.
[00:11] <cameron242> slidinghorn: it ways ndiswrapper currently is not installed
[00:11] <Euphus> i needed to use ndiswrapper for my Jensen-airlan .. made everything a mess.,,
[00:11] <matyd> thune3: Interl Coproation 82845G/GL
[00:11] <matyd> intel*
[00:11] <bobbytek> mo__: thanks
[00:11] <bobbytek> mine crashes a lot
[00:12] <Euphus> cameron242, : sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper
[00:12] <slidinghorn> cameron242, it doesn't come installed as a default program..you have to open a terminal and type sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common
[00:12] <cameron242> i am doing that now
[00:12] <mo__> bobbytek: 1.) do you use extensions 2.) how does it crash? does it freeze, crash on it's own - do you get an errormessage?
[00:12] <dugger5688> Euphus: Instead of trolling here, why not write letters to the companies that provide shoddy linux support? Requesting better support in the future.
[00:12] <Euphus> slidinghorn,  I helped :)
[00:13] <bobbytek> mo__: I had lightning installed, and it just disappears randomly
[00:13] <cameron242> at the end it says- E: couldn't find package ndiswrapper-common
[00:13] <thune3> matyd: i believe you are affected by https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Bugs/Lucidi8xxFreezes . the instructions under the section "Potential Solution: PPA packages" probably have your solution.
[00:13] <Euphus> cameron242,  trye without -common
[00:13] <blain> how do i check which graphics driver im using
[00:13] <cameron242> o
[00:14] <cameron242> k
[00:14] <thune3> matyd: sorry that fix is only for 855gm chip
[00:14] <matyd> ahh
[00:14] <slidinghorn> cameron242, are you connected to the internet at all?  (wired connection)
[00:14] <matyd> i got happy for a second lol
[00:14] <cameron242> couldn't find packafe ndiswrapper
[00:14] <iflema> blain in a terminal       lspci | grep VGA
[00:14] <cameron242> slidinghorn: Nope
[00:14] <cameron242> I have no ethernet
[00:14] <Jordan_U> cameron242: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#b43/STA%20-%20No%20Internet%20access follow this before trying ndiswrapper.
[00:15] <slidinghorn> cameron242, oh...you'll need an internet connection to install anything :-\
[00:15] <rt1> hi, my system shows my sound card is chip/codec "VIA ID 441".  i have no idea what driver/module to use to get that to work.... im pretty sure its an hda intel card
[00:15] <blain> iflema does that output the driver im using or just the graphics card?
[00:15] <thune3> matyd: workaround A might do the trick for you.
[00:15] <cameron242> So
[00:15] <cameron242> i can't fo it =\
[00:15] <cameron242> *do
[00:15] <adac> I have a wintv aero stick and I wanted to setup lirc. Unfortunately the stick or better the infrared sensor of the stick does not appear in cat /proc/bus/input/devices any ideas?
[00:15] <matyd> okay thank you thune3
[00:15] <mo__> bobbytek: oh, am not sure about lightning, sorry, can't help here if you don't get an errormessage. did you check syslog?
[00:16] <matyd> reading up on it now
[00:16] <iflema> blain    sudo lshw -C video
[00:16] <cameron242> Jordan_U: I don't have a CD rom either, I used wubi to install
[00:16] <dugger5688> cameron242: You have NO ethernet port on the computer?
[00:16] <Euphus> hahaha
[00:16] <cameron242> i have a port but no cable
[00:17] <blain> driver=nouveau :(
[00:17] <cameron242> My system is wireless
[00:17] <Euphus> cameron242,  do u have an iq-port?
[00:17] <bobbytek> mo__: no, not yet, will do
[00:17] <cameron242> a what?
[00:17] <bobbytek> thanks again
[00:17] <IdleOne> !guidelines | Euphus
[00:17] <iflema> blain  have a look under the desktop menu System / Administrtion / Hardware Drivers
[00:18] <dugger5688> cameron242: You're going to need one... what type of computer is this?
[00:18] <mo__> bobbytek: I'm not sure where it logs problems to ... grep -R thunderbird /var/log if you can't find anything in syslog
[00:18] <cameron242> a laptop, mini dell laptop
[00:18] <cameron242> no cd drive either
[00:18] <cameron242> =\
[00:19] <blain> usb pen drive?
[00:19] <Loshki> cameron242: can you read/write to the windows filesystem(s) from ubuntu?
[00:19] <Jordan_U> cameron242: Ok, let me give you setp by step directions to get open source drivers working.
[00:19] <dugger5688> cameron242: You have absolutely no cable or ability to get cable.
[00:19] <cameron242> no
[00:19] <cameron242> sorry
[00:19] <matyd> thune3: these workarounds are if your can't boot into GUI correct?
[00:19] <cameron242> everything is wifi
[00:19] <matyd> so would i fall under the same bug?
[00:19] <mo__> cameron242: do you have bluetooth on another computer that is connected to the net? ;)
[00:19] <Jordan_U> cameron242: First, boot into windows and download these files: http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz and http://jordanu.dyndns.org/b43legacy-firmware-lucid.tar.gz
[00:20] <clayg> I'm using a netbook and trying to install a few games through wine/playonlinux.       I'm having some problems that I think might be because wine/pol is looking for an actual cd-rom drive instead of the images im mounting with gmount.  Is there anyway to "fool" ubuntu into thinking a directory is the cdrom drive?
[00:20] <IdleOne> cameron242: follow Jordan_U
[00:20] <clayg> Like on diablo it's telling me it doesn't have the play cd in drive, while the play cd is mounted - installation works, playing does not, same with WOW
[00:20] <LinuxUser123> hi i seem to be having an issue where the resolution on my insignia 22 inch monitor will not change to anything larger than 1024 X 768.  How can I fix this?  The nvidia settings will allow me to select something higher but then the monitor goes black.
[00:20] <clayg> well playcd image is mounted
[00:21] <lwilliams> Hi.  I did a system update yesterday night and when I turned the computer on today, my home directory vanished.  I think ecryptfs screwed something up
[00:21] <Karth> Judgen: ok, swapped cards, this one appears in the device manager, but not in sound options
[00:21] <Euphus> LinuxUser123,  sure you have the right driver
[00:21] <mo__> clayg: copyprotection & linux emulation is always a pain ... do you really want to bother?
[00:21] <Euphus> ?
[00:22] <dugger5688> clayg: go to winecfg and set one of the drives to the directory that the CD is mounted to.
[00:22] <thune3> matyd: the screen going irreversibly black qualifies as a lockup. You can hit shift on boot and add "i915.modeset=1" after "quiet splash" to the grub line. If this fixes your problem then you can make this permanent using the commands in the yellow box of 'Workaround A'
[00:22] <lwilliams> I was wondering if I could get help recovering my home folder from .Private
[00:22] <mo__> clayg: afaik, with the latest diablo2 patch you don't need the play cd any more if you copy the MQPs over ;)
[00:22] <LinuxUser123> Euphus: no, but it does the same thing on the proprietary nvidia driver as the non-proprietary driver
[00:23] <Euphus> LinuxUser123,  and your card is a nvidia?
[00:23] <Jordan_U> cameron242: Once you have them downloaded put them somewhere where they will be easy to find within Ubuntu, like C:\. Tell me when you're done with that.
[00:23] <LinuxUser123> Euphus: yes
[00:23] <jairamc> Am using Ubuntu 10.04. I recently installed the Bisigi themes. But as the screenshots suggest, my login screen does not change. Any help? Am a little new to Ubuntu..
[00:23] <judgen> Karth, that is usual due to the identifier only using 4bit space
[00:23] <LinuxUser123> Euphus: when i use a different monitor all is fine
[00:23] <mo__> lwilliams: did you write down the loooong password that ubuntu gave you after you first set up your encrypted homedir?
[00:23] <LinuxUser123> Euphus: its only this 22" thing
[00:23] <lwilliams> yeah
[00:23] <Euphus> LinuxUser123, ; then the monitor can`t handle it
[00:24] <LinuxUser123> Euphus: any way around it?
[00:24] <mo__> lwilliams: eh, k, I didn't expect that. let me check.
[00:24] <cameron242> Jordan_U: Ok. I installed Ubuntu on C:\
[00:24] <lwilliams> I tried following some instructions to remount it elsewhere, but the mount came up empty
[00:24] <Euphus> LinuxUser123, ; get a new one ;)
[00:24] <dugger5688> LinuxUser123: Does the monitory support higher resolutions?
[00:24] <LinuxUser123> Euphus: yes.
[00:25] <LinuxUser123> Euphus: insignia ns-LCD22
[00:25] <jairamc> Am using Ubuntu 10.04. I recently installed the Bisigi themes. But as the screenshots suggest, my login screen does not change. Any help? Am a little new to Ubuntu..
[00:25] <mo__> lwilliams: did you try the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory#Recovering Your Data Manually     ?
[00:26] <Euphus> LinuxUser123, ; it can`t handle it
[00:26] <dugger5688> LinuxUser123: That looks like a TV... It can't go higher than 720p I'm guessing (~1024x768)
[00:26] <Jordan_U> cameron242: Ok, now boot into Ubuntu and run "ls /host" in a terminal and tell me if those two files are listed.
[00:27] <LinuxUser123> Euphus: says it supports 1680x1050
[00:27] <Euphus> dugger5688, ; accel-innstaled?
[00:27] <tertl3> i use 1680x1050
[00:27] <judgen> Karth, it helps if you priv msg me, as i do multiple things at once as usual
[00:27] <cameron242> Joradn_U: Still downloading :P
[00:28] <LinuxUser123> dugger5688; it is 720p but im not sure what that means, specs show 1680X1050
[00:28] <lwilliams> the ones I followed were http://www.kaijanmaki.net/2009/10/26/recovering-files-from-ecryptfs-encrypted-home/
[00:28] <lwilliams> which look very similar
[00:28] <lwilliams> after I mounted it, the mounted home was still empty
[00:28] <lwilliams> but the .Private def has stuff in it
[00:29] <cameron242> Moving files
[00:29] <jairamc> Am using Ubuntu 10.04. I recently installed the Bisigi themes. But as the screenshots suggest, my login screen does not change. Any help? Am a little new to Ubuntu..
[00:29] <LinuxUser123> Euphus: is there a way to configure xorg with something to try and force a higher res?
[00:30] <Euphus> brb man xorg
[00:30] <ownlife> I'm at the end of the rope! I'm getting Gave up waiting for root device. This is after the ubuntu logo and before login screen.
[00:30] <mo__> lwilliams:
[00:30] <prince_jammys> !resolution | LinuxUser123
[00:31] <cameron242> Jordan_U: Where do I add the files? Ubuntu is installed in C:\ubuntu
[00:31] <Euphus> LinuxUser123,  msg me
[00:31] <prince_jammys> LinuxUser123: try the suggestions involving gtf/cvt and xrandr.
[00:31] <Agu10> hi
[00:31] <mo__> lwilliams: looks pretty similar. darn ... can anyone else take alook here? I thought my loopaes experience might help ... but this looks quite different
[00:32] <Euphus> slidinghorn, : winehq was a quiet channel ... lol
[00:32] <cameron242> Jordan_U: Where do I add the files? Ubuntu is installed in C:\ubuntu
[00:32] <ownlife> Bah, nm, I'm going to consult the forums!
[00:32] <Jordan_U> cameron242: Install them in C:\ubuntu then. (it doesn't really matter where they go, as long as they can be found easily)
[00:33] <cameron242> ok
[00:33] <lwilliams> what happened was I originally had encryption installed.  Then I disabled it somehow (I believe by editing some settings file, but I forget what).  I then copied my files over to a clean home folder (with no .Private) , and all was good for a few weeks.  Then last night, ubuntu did an update and I think overwrote a settings file and this morning, when I turned the machien on, no home folder but a .private folder
[00:33] <cameron242> Okay, rebooting to load ubuntu
[00:34] <lee__> Question, I deleted my linux partition in windows and when I reboot with the windows installation CD and select repair to fix the mbr it can't find the harddrive?
[00:35] <cameron242> ok
[00:35] <cameron242> rebooted
[00:35] <cameron242> gonna write that code you said
[00:35] <mo__> lwilliams: I'd try using a livecd to check the home partition directly, without ubuntu trying to mount the encrypted stuff. perhaps something got mixed up there. just a shot in the dark though ..
[00:36] <lwilliams> like use the same instructions, but boot with a livecd first?
[00:36] <cameron242> Jordan_U: I ran that line and they didn't show
[00:36] <lwilliams> is it possible to see if the key I wrote down is correct?
[00:36] <mo__> lwilliams: you think your data was decrypted - so check if it is there, unencrypted. if it isn't, try to decrypt it and then copy it over to a unencrypted filesys.
[00:37] <cameron242> Jordan_U: I ran that line and they didn't show
[00:37] <lwilliams> I think the update from last night  somehow went and re-encrypted it
[00:38] <thebishop> hello
[00:38] <cameron242> Jordan_U: These are all files from C:\ no C:\ubuntu
[00:38] <cameron242> *not
[00:38] <mo__> lwilliams: I don't think it would re-encrypt it, but perhaps think it is encrypted and cannot decrypt it - althought it isnt at all. and therefore get mixed up..... dunno. livecd was just an idea.
[00:38] <thebishop> is anyone else having miserable performance with Rhythmbox and Evince?  I suspect it's a gvfs or fuse issue
[00:38] <Jordan_U> cameron242: Since you put them in C:\ubuntu\ the proper command to check for the files would be "ls /host/ubuntu"
[00:39] <lwilliams> ah, yeah that makes sense
[00:39] <cameron242> ok
[00:39] <cameron242> ok they showed
[00:39] <acaire> Hi, i'm having an issue with starting a KVM guest on a clean install of Lucid 64bit server - The entire machine locks up with no evidence as to why - The same setup works on a Desktop Livecd, what's the best way to troubleshoot the problem?
[00:40] <Jordan_U> cameron242: Good, now run "sudo tar -xf /host/ubuntu/b43-firmware-lucid.tar.gz -C /lib/firmware/" and "sudo tar -xf /host/ubuntu/b43legacy-firmware-lucid.tar.gz -C /lib/firmware/"
[00:41] <Jordan_U> cameron242: Be sure to type it exactly, and note that it's a capital 'C'.
[00:42] <vuln> Has anyone ever installed the last version of Ubuntu in a notebook ASUS Eee PC 701?
[00:42] <cameron242> Jordan_U: Seperate or same lines?
[00:42] <Jordan_U> cameron242: Seperate.
[00:42] <cameron242> So I wait for the first
[00:42] <cameron242> then run the second?
[00:43] <Jordan_U> cameron242: Yes, though they both should finish almost instantly (with no output if everything went properly)
[00:43] <cameron242> ok
[00:43] <Out`Of`Control> Hi, any one know how do i get transparant themes. Ubuntu 10.4 (64bit)

[00:45] <cameron242> *tar
[00:45] <chadi> the ir receiver does not work out of the box
[00:46] <Jordan_U> cameron242: Did you type a capital 'C'?

[00:48] <failsafe5000> Quick question, is it possible to virtualize a preinstalled windows os on ubuntu?
[00:48] <Jordan_U> cameron242: After this command you will be done :)
[00:50] <acaire> failsafe5000: yes - search for physical to virtual on wikipedia.
[00:52] <burr__> google isn't helping me
[00:53] <burr__> how do i make the panel spacers invisible in kde?

[00:56] <loopidity> if a hardware has no firmware, can it be reinstalled?
[00:57] <Euphus> slidinghorn, : can you give linuxuser123 a link for me when he comes back?

[01:00] <lee__> Question, I deleted my linux partition in windows and when I reboot with the windows installation CD and select repair to fix the mbr it can't find the harddrive? But if I boot a live cd and look at Gparted I see the drive and the files right there. Anyone know what the problem can be?
[01:02] <Euphus> slidinghorn, can you help him with next step, config xorg ?
[01:02] <slidinghorn> Euphus, probably going to be gone once I give him the link
[01:03] <Euphus> slidinghorn,  ok np, its all at the link anyway
[01:03] <wizard_> #xbmc
[01:04] <failsafe5000> i found a program made by vmware that does the conversion from physical to virtual, question though, on my windows install i have my programs installed to a separate drive, will the virtualized os still see that hard drive?
[01:04] <Euphus> bie folkz
[01:05] <acaire> failsafe5000: you can convert that drive also, and add it to the virtual machine - depending on which software you use, it might do it for you.
[01:06] <wizard_> anyone any gd with xbmc
[01:06] <wizard_> tried everything for it to play video but it will just crash it
[01:06] <slidinghorn> !ot | wizard_ you can talk about xbmc in #xbmc
[01:07] <failsafe5000> acaire, ok, because that is the biggest thing that would keep me from doing it, if i can keep all my programs working that i would just run windows in a virtualized environment on ubuntu
[01:07] <wizard_> slidinghorn, no one talks in it or I would lol
[01:07] <qr> How do I set up ssh-agent so that it runs when the machine starts and is available for every bash instance.  I'm using ubuntu server through ssh (it does what I want by default in ubuntu desktop)
[01:07] <acaire> failsafe5000: It should be fine, but you'd want to test it on a seperate machien first, before you make any drastic changes
[01:09] <cameron242> Im back
[01:09] <DeadmanIncJS> do i need a program to turn on/off my internal webcam?
[01:09] <cameron242> You here Jordan_U?
[01:09] <zenom> What would I use to keep a ruby script running (make sure its running, restart it, if not etc.)
[01:09] <wizard_> anyone help with video issues in xbmc
[01:10] <wizard_> playing sound but not video ?
[01:10] <qr> Someone here must have set up ssh-agent on ubuntu server; how did you make it so you don't need to run eval `ssh-agent` in each new terminal?
[01:10] <wizard_> xbmc channel is no help think they are all dead lol
[01:10] <lee__> Has anyone fixed there ubuntu 10.04 with the  Intel 82845G/GL/GE Chipset ?

[01:13] <Sam_Fisher> slidinghorn, flashing cursor
[01:14] <NHebiL> ok
[01:14] <qr> acaire: that starts a new ssh-agent process each time I ssh into the machine.  I want one agent shared between all my ssh sessions.
[01:14] <lee__> Question, I deleted my linux partition in windows and when I reboot with the windows installation CD and select repair to fix the mbr it can't find the harddrive? But if I boot a live cd and look at Gparted I see the drive and the files right there. Anyone know what the problem can be?

[01:14] <slidinghorn> cameron242, no idea
[01:15] <cameron242> ok
[01:15] <acaire> lee__: were you able to see the hdd using the windows cd before now?
[01:15] <wizard_> anyone no xbmc :(
[01:15] <cameron242> I had to go eat dinner
[01:15] <erdew> slm
[01:15] <lee__> acaire: Didn't try
[01:15] <qr> acaire: more importantly, it also leaves them running when I exit the ssh session.
[01:15] <Plasmastar> I am not too happy.
[01:15] <Plasmastar> While installing Kubuntu, the installer crashed when I pulled it out of a sleep like mode.
[01:16] <Plasmastar> Why is the installer going into sleep mode in the first place?
[01:16] <acaire> lee__: if you're using a SATA hdd it's possible the windows cd doesn't have drivers for it - is it xp?
[01:16] <lee__> acaire:  Yes
[01:17] <lee__> acaire:  So i'm probably going to have to hook up maybe a usb floppy disk with drivers and press F6 right at the beginning of the windows cd startup
[01:17] <acaire> lee__: you'll need to use something like nLite to slipstream the SATA drivers into a new cd - I haven't had too much success in the past
[01:17] <acaire> yes if you have a floppy disk drive that's the best bet.
[01:17] <wizard_> anyone know xbmc before I start to cry lol
[01:18] <lee__> acaire:  Oh that just sucks
[01:18] <realubot> corespeedxxx: I know you.
[01:18] <nikolaos> Hello Linuxers! I just introduced myself to Ubuntu via Wubi... A little reading showed me that a normal install of Ubuntu is more efficient - is there a way to cleanly and (fairly) painlessly convert my Wubi install into a full install?
[01:18] <Plasmastar> Just ranting into the wind.
[01:18] <acaire> qr: not sure to be honest - have you considered using screen?
[01:18] <cameron242> Jordan_U ARE YOU THERE LOL.
[01:19] <Frankie1> Has anyone here used Ubuntu 10.10?  My mouse pointer disappears after about 3 seconds of inactivity.   Bear with me :P
[01:20] <lee__> acaire:  So probably, when I first got my laptop if I had put in a windows XP cd, it would of told me it couldn't find the harddrive?
[01:21] <lee__> acaire: or did this happen because I delete the linux partition?
[01:21] <realubot> nikolaos: I don't think that there is a way to turn a Wubi installation into a "real" Ubuntu installation. the installation process is straight forward and if you haven't installed a lot of software and done a lot of customization then it would be very easy ton install Ubuntu once again from Live CD.
[01:21] <hiexpo> nikolaos,  yes fresh install start from scratch if you want tt right i would suggest
[01:21] <Mqueue> can anyone help me mount usb drive for Panasonic (Matsushita) Lumix DMC-FZ10 Camera
[01:21] <nikolaos> Alright, sounds fine. I have only installed a few trivial, useless applications and I have a Live CD sitting right by me.
[01:22] <nikolaos> Thanks for the quick responses!
[01:22] <realubot> nikolaos: Then  would suggest to install it from scratch booting the Live CD.
[01:22] <realubot> *Then I would
[01:22] <nikolaos> Alright, will do. I'd best get started now - thanks, and bye!
[01:23] <hiexpo> nikolaos,  kool live cd will walk u through it /// by the way use 9.10 if u want a smooth install and operating system 10.04 still has many bugs
[01:23] <realubot> hiexpo: What kind of bugs, I haven't had any problems with bugs in 10.04?
[01:24] <Sam_Fisher> slidinghorn, any idea how to get this triple booter working without leaving Supergrub disk in the drive?
[01:24] <nikolaos> Thanks, but I'm a Windows-user - I'd be freaked out if there weren't any bugs :P
[01:24] <qr> acaire: yes I have, unfortunately it has similar problems. the separate bash instances in screen do not share an agent unless screen is a child process of the agent already.  The only option that leaves is to run all my connections into a shared screen session which is not very appealing.
[01:24] <slidinghorn> Sam_Fisher, no idea...never tried more than 2 os's
[01:24] <realubot> nikolaos: I use 10.04 and haven't got any problem with bugs but maybe hiexpo is right.
[01:24] <qr> I think I'm just going to give up and use a paswordless key
[01:24] <hiexpo> realubot,  drivers etc
[01:25] <realubot> nikolaos: 10.04 is LTS and therefore has got support for more years.
[01:25] <nikolaos> I'll keep a few gigabytes in reserve in case I ever decide to roll back to 9.10
[01:25] <Sam_Fisher> slidinghorn, any tips on dual booting when Windows breaks?
[01:25] <realubot> hiexpo: Ok, I haven't had any problems yet using 10.04.
[01:26] <DeadmanIncJS> could somebody refresh my memory on how to burn an album i downloaded from Ubuntu Music Store

[01:26] <hiexpo> nikolaos,  there is no roll back
[01:26] <sled> I've just installed trickle to throttle the upload speed of firefox by 'trickle -s -u 20 -d 120 firefox'
[01:26] <sled> but somehow firefox won't open :/
[01:26] <hiexpo> realubot,  your fortunate
[01:26] <realubot> DeadmanIncJS: Maybe using brasero?
[01:26] <DeadmanIncJS> trying, but i can't locate the files
[01:26] <realubot> hiexpo: Maybe. :)

[01:27] <bobbytek> is evolution better than thunderbird in general?
[01:27] <Mqueue> can anyone help me mount usb drive removable drive
[01:27] <bobbytek> i may switch if I can't get my thunderbird to work
[01:27] <slidinghorn> bobbytek, depends what you're looking for
[01:27] <hiexpo> !better
[01:27] <DeadmanIncJS> i have that program already
[01:27] <DeadmanIncJS> but i can't seem to find the files
[01:27] <amokpaule> Hello, can i set it that when i grap a window to move it around that it will be transparent while i move it?
[01:27] <bobbytek> slidinghorn: faster and generally more stable, at least for 10.04
[01:27] <bobbytek> Ideally more featured
[01:28] <realubot> DeadmanIncJS: http://gadgethubs.com/burn-your-newly-purchased-ubuntu-one-music-store-music/
[01:28] <Agu10> amokpaule, yes, you can. I believe with compiz
[01:28] <slidinghorn> bobbytek, evolution's a full suite including tasks, calendars, etc.  thunderbird (without extensions) is strictly email  -- if you're looking for speed and don't need all the extras, I'd probably recommend thunderbird, as it doesn't have all the extras evolution has
[01:28] <acaire> lee__: no it wouldnt've been due to you removing the linux part, it would've always happened
[01:28] <realubot> DeadmanIncJS: maybe you will find the solution in that link.
[01:28] <bobbytek> slidinghorn: thanks for tip
[01:28] <DeadmanIncJS> thanks
[01:28] <realubot> DeadmanIncJS: "One of the first issues you will come across is locating your music. You might assume the music to be in either ~/Music or ~/Downloads. It’s not. It’s carefully “hidden” in ~/.ubuntuone/Purchased from Ubuntu One."
[01:29] <amokpaule> Agu10, ty
[01:29] <hiexpo> realubot,  many things that were available before are becoming obsolete as the distros grows
[01:29] <realubot> hiexpo: Give me an example of that please?
[01:30] <DeadmanIncJS> ahh there we go
[01:30] <DeadmanIncJS> ok, thanks fellas!
[01:30]  * DeadmanIncJS thank's everybody
[01:30] <realubot> DeadmanIncJS: No problem.
[01:31] <DeadmanIncJS> that is kind of lame they have it hidden like that
[01:31] <lee__> acaire: Yea i'm reading about it now, this is crazy. This is the first time i'm trying this. the computer came with windows 7 but was downgraded to XP. I dual boot it with linux just messing around wanted to put windows back on it and now this problem.
[01:32] <hiexpo> realubot,   like compiling many apps can't say that in here or i will get in trouble walking on thin ice  in here got in trouble a week ago for using lol  so minding my p's and q's but you talk to me in pentoo or backtrack
[01:33] <acaire> lee__: now you see why we use linux ;)
[01:33] <realubot> hiexpo: ok, nevermind. I was only a little bit of curious.
[01:33] <Puffcio> what kinf of software can i install to upgrade my desktop? :D
[01:33] <lee__> acaire: Yep, this was a work computer. I just use linux at home.
[01:34] <realubot> lee__: i has to do with the bootloader I think?
[01:34] <realubot> *It has
[01:34] <avi_> hey, can anyone help me compile this app? It's hosted on git, and I've never used hit before.
[01:34]  * hiexpo realubot  no prob
[01:34] <acaire> realubot: maybe if the fixmbr didn't work, but if the hdd isn't visible at all, it's drivers.
[01:35] <lee__> realubot: yea I know what I needed to do to fix the bootloader, but I just can't get the winXP CD to recognize my harddrive.
[01:35] <realubot> lee__: Ok, weird.
[01:35] <lee__> yea
[01:36] <wizard_> can someone tell me how to kill a program that crash ?
[01:36] <realubot> wizard_: killall firefox
[01:36] <acaire> lee__: yeh try nLite - you may get lucky and the standard driver pack will support your hdd
[01:36] <slidinghorn> wizard_, find the process id by using top    then kill it with kill [pid]
[01:36] <RickyWh> how can i check how much freespace on my ubuntu server?
[01:36] <acaire> RickyWh: df -h
[01:37] <wizard_> slidinghorn, how can I do that lol
[01:37] <RickyWh> /dev/sda2             147G  188M  140G   1% /mnt
[01:37] <RickyWh> does that mean 140gigs?
[01:37] <acaire> RickyWh: correct
[01:37] <RickyWh> wow, sweet
[01:37] <hiexpo> yep
[01:37] <lee__> acaire: I'll try it tomorrow, Thanks. This is another problem with the Intel 82845G/GL/GE Chipset it doesn't work correctly with 10.04. All type of problems.
[01:38] <slidinghorn> open a terminal (menu>accessories>terminal) type: top                then look for the program and hit q to quit the monitor....remember the process id and type  kill    followed by the process id
[01:38] <geowany> how can I download ALL packages installed on this PC to /var/cache/apt/archives? I want to create a "perfect" cache disk.
[01:38] <slidinghorn> wizard_, ^
[01:38] <realubot> wizard_: http://www.ehow.com/how_4505779_kill-process-ubuntu-terminal.html
[01:38] <realubot> wizard_: There you have info about finding the PID etc.
[01:38] <acaire> lee__: does it flicker the screen when booting the livecd?
[01:38] <hiexpo> geowany,  you mean a backup cd iso ?
[01:38] <wizard_> realubot, thanks
[01:38] <geowany> hiexpo, yes!
[01:39] <realubot> geowany: you're looking for a way to get a list of installed packages?
[01:40] <hiexpo> geowany,  if you have not cleaned your system get apton cd    / sudo apt-get install aptoncd
[01:40] <geowany> hiexpo, yes! I'm using aptoncd
[01:40] <lee__> acaire: thats whats interesting, the live cd works flawlessly, its once its installed. It never gets to the login screen, it show the cursor and then the cursors disappears and it just loops.
[01:40] <acaire> wizard_: alternatively you can press ALT+F2 and run "xkill" and just click on the app you want to kill, be careful using this.
[01:40] <ennui>  I seem to be unable to chown my external HDD from linux (I need to get write permission). GParted shows it's filesystem as hfs+. I don't want to reformat it as I have data on there. Is there a way to set permission at mount so I can write to this partition on my external?
[01:40] <RickyWh> how can i see the whole output of top if it's too large?
[01:40] <realubot> geowany: Maybe this is something that would be of interest: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/install-mintbackup-linux-mint-backup.html
[01:41] <hiexpo> geowany,  well it will show all this available before you save if you cleaned your system there gone
[01:41] <acaire> lee__: you could try and boot with "nosplash nomodeset" and see if it gets you to a text login at least.
[01:42] <shazbotmcnasty> hey, how do I rip a dvd with dd?
[01:42] <shazbotmcnasty> is it just 'dd if=/dev/(device) of=~/name.iso' ?
[01:43] <lee__> acaire: I believed I tried that but that didn't work. I deleted the intel_drv.so driver then I was able to log on, problem was I couldn't change resolution. The highest was 1024x768.
[01:43] <hiexpo> !media | shaz
[01:43] <shazbotmcnasty> sweet
[01:43] <shazbotmcnasty> ugh

[01:43] <shazbotmcnasty> yeah realubot I did that
[01:43] <shazbotmcnasty> and it doesn't work
[01:43] <realubot> shazbotmcnasty: Ok. :S
[01:43] <shazbotmcnasty> so, I was wondeirng if that was wrong, or if I could add something to make it work
[01:43] <acaire> lee__: yeh it's painful, i'm trying to learn more about Xorg but it just doesn't seem to play nice with Ubuntu like it should
[01:44] <acaire> lee__: might just have to keep asking the oracle (i.e. google ;))
[01:44] <hiexpo> shazbotmcnasty, - dd?
[01:44] <wizard_> never worked
[01:44] <shazbotmcnasty> hiexpo: what
[01:44] <wizard_> got 2306 then did kill 2306
[01:44] <wizard_> still running
[01:45] <hiexpo> shazbotmcnasty, - what is dd?
[01:45] <realubot> shazbotmcnasty: Maybe you shall try this: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2008-November/166489.html
[01:45] <shazbotmcnasty> it's a basic linux/unix util
[01:45] <shazbotmcnasty> !dd
[01:45] <shazbotmcnasty> D:
[01:45] <lee__> acaire: so the way i'm talking to you now, I downgraded and keep watch for a fix, but its just not the later version of ubuntu, it also happens in the latest version of fedora. Yep I checked here and there.
[01:45] <shazbotmcnasty> oh poo
[01:45] <shazbotmcnasty> ha
[01:45] <Daekdroom> ubottu doesn't know something Oo
[01:46] <realubot> wizard_: There is kill -9 PID and killall name. You may have to look into that options.
[01:46] <shazbotmcnasty> Daekdroom: he doesn't know a lot of stuff
[01:46] <wizard_> found easy way right click and kill lol

[01:59] <hiexpo> IdleOne,  ok
[01:59] <freezway> how do system76's screens compare to apples?
[02:00] <bazhang> !ot | freezway
[02:00] <shazbotmcnasty> realubot: input/output error...
[02:00] <stercor> I just did the Lucid update.  Baobab isn't there (perhaps it never was; I'm using a netbook)  I tried sudo apt-get install baobab.  It said that it (or something like it) is a part of gnome-utils.  What would be its replacement?
[02:00]  * hiexpo IdleOne  - what you doing hanging out in bt
[02:00] <realubot> shazbotmcnasty: Ah, I have seen that errors before reading about people having problem using dd.
[02:01] <IdleOne> hiexpo: I hang out in many channels,
[02:01] <shazbotmcnasty> yeah
[02:01] <shazbotmcnasty> I remember having that problem before
[02:01] <shazbotmcnasty> but I did something that fixed it
[02:01] <hiexpo> IdleOne,  oh ok never seen u there before is all / as why i ask
[02:02] <MaRk-I> krey: you get a black screen after splash?
[02:02] <Savory_Snax_> Can I disable hibernation while sharing a file/streaming to another computer?
[02:02] <bastidrazor> shazbotmcnasty: would you mind not using the 'enter' key as punctuation? it creates excess scroll when it can be avoided
[02:02] <MaRk-I> Savory_Snax_: power management
[02:03] <realubot> shazbotmcnasty: I found this explanation at ubuntuforums: "The dvd has structure protection which in most cases includes unreadable sectors - the dd command has no means to skip these sectors"
[02:03] <realubot> shazbotmcnasty: Maybe there is a copy protection anyway.
[02:04] <krey> MaRk-I: yes, black screen with strange white pixels at the top
[02:05] <Savory_Snax_> MaRk-I, I don't see that option specfically in Power Managment
[02:05] <MaRk-I> krey: try this http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2010/05/06/ubuntu-10-04-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup-workaround/
[02:05] <MaRk-I> Savory_Snax_: system/preferences/power management?
[02:06] <realubot> shazbotmcnasty: This command will not stop on errors but not all digits of the disc will be copied: dd if=/dev/hdc of=file.txt conv=noerror,sync
[02:06] <krey> MaRk-I: tried xforcevesa and nomodeset already
[02:06] <realubot> shazbotmcnasty: "conv=noerror,sync - do not fail on errors and write zeros to
[02:06] <realubot> destination sectors with cannot be read
[02:06] <krey> MaRk-I: no success
[02:06] <shazbotmcnasty> realubot: why as a text
[02:07] <MaRk-I> nomodeset is for nvidia
[02:07] <krey> that is what I have
[02:07] <realubot> shazbotmcnasty: That solution wouldn't be a good solution though if data will be missing.
[02:07] <Savory_Snax_> MaRk-I, the option to disable hibernation while streaming isn't in the Power Management gui. I was wondering if there was a command line for it
[02:07] <MaRk-I> Savory_Snax_: ah no idea
[02:07] <realubot> shazbotmcnasty: What do you mean by "why as a text"?
[02:07] <Milk> i can anyone help me with a boot up problem. my girlfriend accidentally removed power from the computer and everytime i boot up i get ubuntu is running in low grapics mode and i cant continue
[02:08] <shazbotmcnasty> realubot: nvm, but I meant of=file.txt
[02:08] <shazbotmcnasty> dvd as a text? lol
[02:08] <Chaorain> I:m trying to install Mythbuntu on another pc via usb. I am trying to use the program in Ubuntubut I can:t select the iso file
[02:08] <shazbotmcnasty> I changed it
[02:08] <shazbotmcnasty> but I was confused for a moment
[02:08] <Chaorain> it just gets cleared
[02:08] <realubot> shazbotmcnasty: Well, I don't know.
[02:09] <krey> MaRk-I: I am trying to get the proprietary drivers working
[02:09] <realubot> shazbotmcnasty: I think you will loose data doing like that so you may not be happy trying to use the iso.
[02:09] <shazbotmcnasty> oh poo
[02:09] <shazbotmcnasty> I'll rip it as an avi first
[02:09] <shazbotmcnasty> then see if it plays
[02:09] <shazbotmcnasty> if it does, then I'll rip it as an iso
[02:09] <beeftube> !ubottu offtopic address
[02:09] <IdleOne> shazbotmcnasty: you see the ENTER key on your keyboard? use it less
[02:10] <IdleOne> !ot > beeftube
[02:10] <seidos> how can I reinitialize my wifi "driver" or "module" (not sure of the correct language here)
[02:10] <Niglop> anybody recognize this icon pack?: http://img94.imageshack.us/img94/894/1277853924822.png
[02:10] <realubot> Chaorain: Isn't Mythbuntu a operating system like Ubuntu+MythTV? Is it possible to install Mythbuntu on Ubuntu? :S
[02:10] <beeftube> IdleOne, thanks :)
[02:10] <IdleOne> beeftube: sure thing
[02:11] <Chaorain> realubot: yeah
[02:11] <hiexpo> Niglop,  where's ya get it from ?
[02:11] <Chaorain> realubot: more like MythTV + Xubuntu
[02:11] <realubot> shazbotmcnasty: Sorry I can't help you more than this on this topic.
[02:11] <shazbotmcnasty> it's aight
[02:11] <shazbotmcnasty> thank you for your help so far :)
[02:12] <Niglop> hiexpo:  an image board
[02:12] <realubot> Chaorain: Yes. What are you trying to do then? Install it on a computer using USB flash drive?
[02:12] <Loshki> shazbotmcnasty: what exactly are you trying to do?
[02:12] <Jordan_U> Camaro_09: I'm back (for about 5 minutes only though).
[02:12] <Jordan_U> cameron242: ^^
[02:12] <shazbotmcnasty> Loshki: rip a dvd as an iso
[02:13] <shazbotmcnasty> dd if=device of=name isn't working
[02:13] <bazhang> !handbrake | shazbotmcnasty
[02:13] <shazbotmcnasty> I am going to try that if this doesn't work
[02:13] <shazbotmcnasty> the noerror thing, because I've tried a whole bunch of different things, all with errors
[02:13] <shazbotmcnasty> they stop quickly after starting :/
[02:13] <syntaxman> I'm trying to help someone with a brand new installation connect to his router at home (WPA-PSK).
[02:14] <syntaxman> I can't find wpa_supplicant.conf
[02:14] <hiexpo> don't look good to me
[02:14] <syntaxman> There are shell scripts where the conf should be and no docs explaining it.
[02:15] <syntaxman> Where can I find it so I can see what settings it is using?
[02:15] <Milk> i can anyone help me with a boot up problem. my girlfriend accidentally removed power from the computer and now everytime i boot up i get ubuntu is running in low grapics mode and i cant continue
[02:15] <syntaxman> I'm using funtoo, so the ubuntu setup is a little foreign to me
[02:15] <Jordan_U> shazbotmcnasty: If you're getting IO errors use gnu_ddrescue instead (note that there is a non-gnu program of the same name, that is not what you want)
[02:16] <cameron242_> Jordan_U: I'm back
[02:16] <Jordan_U> cameron242_: Did you run those commands?
[02:16] <cameron242_> Yeah
[02:16] <cameron242_> I have some questions:
[02:16] <cameron242_> The first one
[02:16] <cameron242_> is that the first code asked for a pass which I put in
[02:16] <cameron242_> the second didn't
[02:16] <Othor> syntaxman, /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wpa_supplicant.conf
[02:17] <cameron242_> did I do something wrong?
[02:17] <wreckcreations> Quick question: What would prevent me from changing the other's permissions on a folder that I own?
[02:17] <Loshki> shazbotmcnasty: dd should work but I find you need to specify block size, count and conv=notrunc to get a faithful copy. Also, converting to avi is time consuming, and you will lose quality by going to/from avi format. If you're getting read errors from the disk, it's because it's damaged or needs cleaning. Try using windex on it.
[02:17] <Jordan_U> cameron242_: No, sudo remembers your authorization for a few minutes.
[02:17] <cameron242_> ok
[02:17] <cameron242_> good
[02:17] <cameron242_> so what now?
[02:17] <IdleOne> cameron242: when you run sudo it asks for your password, the system also remembers it for 15 minutes so any command ran afterwards with sudo won't ask for your pass. you didn't do anything wrong
[02:17] <cameron242_> Was anything supposed to happen?
[02:17] <syntaxman> Othor: I looked in there... that's not even /close/ to being a real wpa_supplicant.conf
[02:17] <Loshki> cameron242: stop pressing enter so much. Been taking lessons from shazbotmcnasty?
[02:18] <cameron242_> like more text appear?
[02:18] <cameron242_> sorry lol
[02:18] <cameron242_> I am used to that way
[02:18] <IdleOne> cameron242: the bot is gonna end up kicking you
[02:18] <syntaxman> Othor: it's an XML file rather than what the manpage for wpa_supplicant.conf describes
[02:18] <Loshki> cameron242: I know, but it makes it harder for everyone to read because of the extra scrolling...
[02:18] <Jordan_U> cameron242_: If the commands worked then you'll now have directories named "b43" and "b43-legacy" in /lib/firmware/. You can check that with "ls /lib/firmware/"
[02:18] <cameron242_> Okay
[02:19] <cameron242_> Can I get a full list of instructions?
[02:19] <Jordan_U> cameron242_: If those directories exist then just reboot and hopefully you'll have wireless.
[02:19] <Othor> syntaxman, yeah mine looks like XML too
[02:19] <shazbotmcnasty> Loshki: what would you suggest for block size, count, etc
[02:19] <shazbotmcnasty> what do I put? :3
[02:19] <cameron242_> Ok, lemme reboot then
[02:19] <wreckcreations> BTW that problem occured when running PCManFM as root as well. The folder is shared by samba if it means anything
[02:19] <cameron242_> I am on my laptop now, it could be 10-15 mins
[02:19] <trism> syntaxman: ubuntu uses network-manager by default, so there won't be a wpa_supplicant.conf, unless you disable network-manager and use /etc/network/interfaces, then you can create one with wpa_passphrase
[02:19] <cameron242_> brb then
[02:20] <Loshki> shazbotmcnasty: please stop typing enter so much. Let me look at my script and see how it does it...
[02:21] <syntaxman> trism: OK.. I don't see where nm keeps net specific settings either.
[02:21] <syntaxman> trism: I'll hunt some more
[02:21] <trism> syntaxman: run nm-connection-editor
[02:21] <Loshki> shazbotmcnasty: first, I type: isoinfo -d -i /dev/sr0
[02:22] <trism> syntaxman: system connections are kept in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
[02:22] <trism> syntaxman: but you don't generally need to edit those
[02:23] <syntaxman> Nice to know it exists, though.
[02:23] <trism> syntaxman: without nm-connection-editor I mean
[02:24] <Loshki> shazbotmcnasty: see the logical block size (almost always 2048) and the volume size (for my dvd, it's 3287649). Then do dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 count=3287649 conv=notrunc > /disk/dvd.iso
[02:24] <syntaxman> trism: It's empty.  That's weird.
[02:24] <shazbotmcnasty> oh okay
[02:24] <cameron242_> W00T!
[02:24] <cameron242_> it worked!
[02:25] <shazbotmcnasty> does the number 3287649 come from anything Loshki ?
[02:25] <cameron242_> Jordan_U: Thank you SO much! Can I get a wesbite name to tell my friends?
[02:25] <jdolan> anyone else get black areas on your screen when using Thunderbird in the LTS?
[02:25] <jdolan> ATI fglx driver.
[02:26] <jdolan> i *think* the black areas go away if i turn on compiz, but that breaks OpenGL across the whole system so...
[02:26] <trism> syntaxman: it only creates system connections if you run nm-connection-editor with gksudo or check the "Available to all users" box in the config, I don't know where the per-user connections are kept
[02:26] <Loshki> shazbotmcnasty: yes, it comes from the  isoinfo -d -i /dev/sr0 command. It's the size of your dvd in blocks. It's different for every dvd
[02:27] <cameron242_> Okay
[02:27] <cameron242_> now one more questiong
[02:27] <shazbotmcnasty> oh okay
[02:27] <shazbotmcnasty> Loshki: I got another IO error, and I already cleaned it off
[02:27] <shazbotmcnasty> I
[02:27] <cameron242_> I tried to install gimp using 'apt-get install gimp' but I got an error
[02:28] <shazbotmcnasty> srry, I'll use that thing that Jordan_U suggested
[02:28] <IdleOne> cameron242: sudo apt-get install gimp
[02:28] <cameron242_> error-Couldn't find package GIMP
[02:28] <Milk> i can anyone help me with a boot up problem. my girlfriend accidentally removed power from the computer and now everytime i boot up i get ubuntu is running in low grapics mode and i cant continue
[02:29] <Loshki> shazbotmcnasty: it may be damaged, or scratched, or something. Some readers do better than others when performing error correction. Do you have a different drive you can try it with?
[02:29] <shazbotmcnasty> yeah, got the same error too:/
[02:29] <IdleOne> cameron242_: show me the exact command you are running please
[02:29] <shazbotmcnasty> complete different computer in fact...
[02:29] <maelwryth> Problem Firefox + Facebook hanging on the static.ak.fbcdn.net server
[02:30] <cameron242_> is it GIMP?
[02:30] <IdleOne> cameron242: sudo apt-get install gimp
[02:30] <cameron242_> IdleOne: sudo apt-get install gimp
[02:30] <Dmstrdj> i have a tower that i run all the time and i have been wanting to install linux on it, and i have been trying ubuntu, and several other os, it will not boot anything, from usb or disc, what could be holding it up from booting
[02:30] <Loshki> shazbotmcnasty: sounds like the disk itself is damaged. See if you can copy it using vobcopy, or dvdbackup.
[02:30] <hiexpo> cameron242,  yeo
[02:30] <Docteh_> maelwryth: sounds like a facebook problem
[02:30] <hiexpo> yep
[02:30] <cameron242_> IdleOne: That's what I am using
[02:30] <Dmstrdj> tried compatibility modes in bios everything i can think of
[02:31] <IdleOne> cameron242: can you pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:31] <IdleOne> cameron242_: can you pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:31] <realubot> cameron242_: Linux is case sensitive. Be sure to use small letters.
[02:31] <cameron242_> okay
[02:31] <cameron242_> everything is lowercase
[02:31] <Loshki> Dmstrdj: does it boot windows disks?
[02:32] <realubot> cameron242_: 03:29 < cameron242_> error-Couldn't find package GIMP
[02:32] <hiexpo> i thought gimp came preinstalled
[02:32] <Dmstrdj> oh yes just fine lol
[02:32] <IdleOne> hiexpo: not in 10.04
[02:32] <vmer> anybody have any comments on VirtualBox vs KVM for desktop virtualization on Lucid?
[02:32] <hiexpo> oh
[02:32] <realubot> hiexpo: Not since 10.04.
[02:32] <cameron242_> IdleOne: I installed Ubuntu on Windows XP, will I have to boot windows?
[02:32] <maco> vmer: vbox is easier to use
[02:32] <IdleOne> cameron242_: boot windows for?
[02:32] <ddilinger> anyone know a better extension for syncing bookmarks between multiple computers/browsers(firefox && chrome) than xMarks?  i want to drop this because i was looking at wireshark for something else, and saw that even though i turned off all the 'search assistance' it still reports to xMarks every google search i make
[02:32]  * Maletor can't wait for gnome-shell
[02:32] <Dmstrdj> it has windows installed and i have been trying to dual boot it
[02:33] <Loshki> Dmstrdj: have you checked the dvd to see if the image is uncorrupted?
[02:33] <cameron242_> to get ect\apt\sources.list
[02:33] <IdleOne> cameron242_: in a terminal type  gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:33] <maco> cameron242_: forward slashes
[02:33] <Dmstrdj> but it wont finish loading, and i have tried several operating systems
[02:33] <realubot> ddilinger: Dropbox?
[02:33] <Dmstrdj> and the discs boot fine on anything else
[02:33] <ddilinger> realubot: will that sync between firefox and chrome though?  i thought dropbox was just raw file storage
[02:33] <IdleOne> cameron242_: then open paste.ubuntu.com and copy paste the contents of the file to the pastebin and give us the URL
[02:34] <vmer> maco: how so?
[02:34] <Dmstrdj> the bt4 i just installed on usb, is running great on my netbook right now live
[02:34] <Dmstrdj> arrg
[02:34] <maco> vmer: there's a gui to get everything setup just like with vmware. kvm you have to use qemu on the command line and  i find it a bit confusing
[02:34] <hiexpo> !backtack
[02:34] <Dmstrdj> got to the loading screen in bt4 on the tower and it froze
[02:35] <hiexpo> !backtrack
[02:35] <orangey> hello all.
[02:35] <realubot> ddilinger: I meant sometinng like this: http://myubuntublog.wordpress.com/2010/05/19/sync-firefox-bookmarks-to-dropbox/
[02:35] <vmer> maco: i believe there is a UI for KVM too.  virt-manager, or something like that
[02:35] <Loshki> Dmstrdj: when you say 'several operating systems', do you mean different versions of linux, 'cos they all use the same kernel, more or less...
[02:35] <orangey> is it possible to make a device that captures all my outputted stuff?
[02:35] <orangey> I want to record all output
[02:35] <orangey> but from command line
[02:35] <maco> vmer: its not that easy to use, and i think its for configuring existing vm's...but its been a year since i last used it
[02:36] <vmer> orangey: tee?
[02:36] <ddilinger> realubot: ahh, yea unfortunatly wont work for me:(  need to sync between linux, windows, chrome, and firefox
[02:36] <DarkX> hi
[02:36] <orangey> vmer: eh?
[02:36] <Dmstrdj> well im not sure but i have been a disc jockey for a lil bit, and bt4 is based on ubuntu 8.10
[02:36] <cameron242_> IdleOne:  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/85BFUp2k
[02:37] <vmer> orangey: maybe i misunderstood.  tee lets you run something that goes to stdout and a file
[02:37] <orangey> vmer: Indeed we may not be on the same page.
[02:37] <IdleOne> cameron242_: ok your sources.list looks fine.
[02:37] <DarkX> would anyone mind helping me with a wireless networking problem i'm having?
[02:37] <Loshki> Dmstrdj: well, if you're not fed up with trying, I would try 8.04, as it's very stable & mature and runs most anywhere...
[02:37] <Dmstrdj> the tower was running bt for the longest time and i just dont understand whats holding it up now
[02:37] <Dmstrdj> i have tried every thing i can find
[02:37] <orangey> vmer: so, I have my happy pulseaudio life. I want to capture the aggregate output and send it to an alsa or pulse or whatever device
[02:37] <orangey> so that a command line program can access it
[02:38] <orangey> just like now I can access my microphone and line-in
[02:38] <bastidrazor> Dmstrdj: maybe you should be asking about backtrack in #backtrack-linux
[02:38] <vmer> anybody play with eucalyptus?
[02:38] <IdleOne> cameron242_: it is important to remember that Linux is case sensitive. Anyway open Synaptic Package manager from System > Administration menu
[02:38] <Dmstrdj> wanted to use the new ubuntu, but i tried 9.10, and 10.4 now and nothing works
[02:38] <Dmstrdj> will never boot
[02:38] <realubot> ddilinger: Yes, I saw that. You probably will find another solution to sync between Chromium and Firefox.
[02:38] <realubot> *will have to find
[02:39] <hiexpo> Dmstrdj,  yes backtrack is based on ubuntu  but ubuntu does not supply support for it / backtrack has it'sown support channel #backtrack-linux
[02:39] <IdleOne> cameron242_: in the search box type gimp and see what it says
[02:39] <Dmstrdj> yes i know im there too
[02:39] <ugliefrog> Ocaasionaly through out the day with out warning the cursor starts flashing very fast as if a key is stuck...sometimes I can wait it out but most of the time I have to unplug the keyboard for it to work...Only happens in ubuntu...w7 no problems
[02:39] <IdleOne> Dmstrdj: ok, good now be patient in there and wait for an answer
[02:40] <cameron242_> IdleOne: What file am I looking for?
[02:40] <Dmstrdj> But everything i asked did not have to do with backtrack
[02:40] <IdleOne> cameron242_: in Synaptic? search for gimp
[02:40] <cameron242_> IdleOne: Opened
[02:41] <Dmstrdj> i was looking for answers not smart alecs
[02:41] <cameron242_> I did, there's a bunch of wierd file names
[02:41] <IdleOne> Dmstrdj: sounds like hardware issue
[02:41] <Dmstrdj> i have changed evetything but the mobo
[02:41] <hiexpo> Dmstrdj,  i am in there and i do not see your  ?
[02:41] <IdleOne> cameron242_: such as?
[02:41] <IdleOne> cameron242_: look for the one named GIMP
[02:41] <Dmstrdj> well look again
[02:42] <cameron242_> There is none
[02:42] <Dmstrdj> i c u
[02:42] <Docteh_> Dmstrdj: does this computer boot anything?
[02:42] <Dmstrdj> boots windows only
[02:42] <shazbotmcnasty> Jordan_U: how do I use this gnu ddrescue?
[02:42] <Docteh_> cameron242_: try gimp vs GIMP if you're apt-get install-ing stuffs
[02:42] <shazbotmcnasty> I installed it
[02:42] <shazbotmcnasty> read the man
[02:42] <shazbotmcnasty> but still don't get
[02:42] <FloodBot2> shazbotmcnasty: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:42] <Dmstrdj> been trying to boot ubuntu on it for couple months
[02:42] <DarkX> anyone here use ubuntu wirelessly?
[02:42] <shazbotmcnasty> oh yeah, use enter less
[02:42] <cameron242_> I did
[02:42] <DarkX> did you have network problems?
[02:43] <IdleOne> Docteh_: problem is that cameron242_ is getting package not found. this is his sources.list http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/85BFUp2k
[02:44] <realubot> cameron242_: What happends when you execute this: sudo apt-get install gimp
[02:45] <Milk> i can anyone help me with a boot up problem. my girlfriend accidentally removed power from the computer and now everytime i boot up i get ubuntu is running in low grapics mode and i cant continue
[02:45] <cameron242_> Okay guys....I'm freaked out now
[02:45] <tre> Need help - why is it so hard to share file with windows?
[02:46] <cameron242_> O.o
[02:46] <realubot> cameron242_: Stay cool. :)
[02:46] <IdleOne> cameron242_: why are you freaked out?
[02:46] <cameron242_> It just worked
[02:46] <IdleOne> hehe ok good
[02:46] <realubot> tre: You have to use Samba I think.
[02:46] <cameron242_> Because it just worked
[02:46] <Fishscene1> tre: What's the problem?
[02:46] <tre> how do I access a windows sharea
[02:46] <IdleOne> cameron242_: glad to hear it
[02:46] <cameron242_> I did it again
[02:46] <cameron242_> sudo apt-get install gimp
[02:46] <cameron242_> Thanks
[02:46] <tre> i loaded samba and its not doing much
[02:47] <cameron242_> for all the help
[02:47] <IdleOne> cameron242_: welcome
[02:47] <cameron242_> I might have more questions later
[02:47] <cameron242_> :D
[02:47] <Fishscene1> You should be able to access it in the connect to server box. Put the name or IP address of the Windows box, then put in the name of the fileshare. You can leave the "folder" field blank
[02:47] <Dmstrdj> upgraded my tower and trying to use the mobo i had in another, but it will not boot any linux, ubuntu i have tried for a long time, so i tried other things and different versions of ubuntu, and it will never finish loading
[02:47] <shazbotmcnasty> Jordan_U: oh no, it's not working
[02:48] <shazbotmcnasty> time since last successful read - 1.5m
[02:48] <hiexpo>  cameron242  everyone here is more than happy to help u here
[02:48] <Dmstrdj> always hangs at boot up, if i used an older version of ubuntu would that help
[02:48] <realubot> cameron242_: If you fel that Gimp is to complicated then you want to try Pinta. It's like a Paint.NET clone in Ubuntu.
[02:49] <Dmstrdj> instead of the new versions
[02:49] <tre> I can see my windows shares - but cant open them
[02:49] <cameron242_> I have used GIMP on Windows before
[02:50] <realubot> tre: Do you see the files from Windows?
[02:50] <realubot> tre: Then it may be due to permission settings maybe.
[02:50] <tre> for now I am just trying to see windows from linux
[02:50] <cameron242_> I need to go
[02:50] <cameron242_> Thanks for all the help everyone! :D
[02:50] <tre> I figure thats easier
[02:50] <realubot> cameron242_: No problem.
[02:50] <tre> I can see the machines but cannot browse the files
[02:50] <thinkling> hi. I have a disk partitioned by a NAS device and am trying to access it under Ubuntu 10.04. The fs is ext3+extents, and when I try mount -t ext3 -o extents, Ubuntu says "unrecognized mount option extents". any tips on what to try next?
[02:52] <realubot> tre: Are you having file on both Ubuntu and Windows that you try to share in each direction?
[02:53] <Fishscene1> Tre, do you have permission to open the files under the username you're using to log into the windows machine?
[02:54] <tre> well - yes both machines have the same username
[02:54] <Fishscene1> If I recall correctly, you can't browse shares. You can only connect directly to a share.
[02:54] <tre> ok how do I do that
[02:54] <Fishscene1> You must first know the name of the share you're trying to connect to
[02:54] <realubot> tre: I don't really understand the problem. The only advice I can give you is to checkthis video and be sure yiou have done all this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89hjWOb8qmY
[02:55] <Fishscene1> When you connect to the Windows box, you put the IP address or name of the windows box. You should also see a field called "Share" put in the name of the Windows share. Case-sensitive.
[02:56] <tre> when I connect where - file manager?
[02:57] <bebo_> dos any one know how show am/pm in panel clock
[02:57] <Maletor> test
[02:57] <seidos> how can I reinitialize my wireless kernel module?  I'm having a problem coming out of hibernate/suspend sometimes with it, and ifconfig up/down doesn't work.
[02:57] <Fishscene1> tre: http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h269/Fishscene/ConnecttoWindowsviaubuntu.png
[02:58] <MaRk-I> bebo_: right-click the clock select preferences/12 hour format
[02:58] <koshari> bebo under preferences, accessable form right mouse click
[02:58] <Compiling> bebo_: its in pereferences if you right click
[02:58] <bebo_> not appear
[02:58] <Compiling> lies
[02:58] <bebo_> u mean 12 h and 24 h
[02:58] <koshari> seidos rmmod > then modprobe?
[02:59]  * MaRk-I do'h
[03:00] <DarkX> i got a problem where i can't connect to my wireless, its WPA-PSK, i read some threads about it, but i didn't really get what the fix's were, anyone mind helping me?
[03:01] <BiggFREE> It is asking for the password ... DarkX
[03:01] <MaRk-I> seidos: what if you just restart networking with:  sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart       ?
[03:01] <DarkX> ya i put the password in
[03:01] <cilly> question:  Can I install firefox 3.0 or higher on ubuntu 6.10?
[03:01] <BiggFREE> It is wrong though
[03:02] <DarkX> and then it sorta just does its thing in the background and then says you can't access it
[03:02] <seidos> MaRk-I, doesn't work.  I also tried force-reload
[03:02] <DarkX> no i know its right cause i typed it multiple times
[03:02] <seidos> MaRk-I, and I also tried dhclient, something is happening with my wireless, and only my wireless after hibernating and/or suspending
[03:02] <DarkX> and i'm connected to it right now using my other partition
[03:02] <Compiling> how close are you to the AP
[03:02] <MaRk-I> seidos: then do what koshari suggested
[03:02] <DarkX> i'll try the restarting thing
[03:02] <xev> hi, it's safe to remove "commun unix printing system"? because I dont use any printing device on my netbook
[03:02] <BiggFREE> No more hint :( Sorry :(
[03:02] <Compiling> xev, yes
[03:03]  * DarkStar1 is now back and offering help/advice
[03:03] <seidos> MaRk-I, all right.  And koshari, thanks, I'll try that next time
[03:04] <astropirate> Is there a keep alive option for the gnome ftp browser?
[03:04] <BiggFREE> DarkX: It is the password for your Wireless only
[03:04] <xev> Compiling, I can use synaptic package manager?
[03:04] <bebo_> cilly try this in to  software  sources     http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mozilla-security/ppa/ubuntu
[03:04] <BiggFREE> After save it.
[03:04] <MaRk-I> seidos: rmmod "module",  insmod "module"
[03:04] <DarkStar1> xev: ofc it's safe. Though if I were you I wouldn't. Just disable the service from starting. you never know one day you might need it.
[03:04] <avi_> Hey. Im going to set up my Ubuntu Lucid box as an SSH tunnel. However, I'm not sure how to get my computer visible away from home; that is, connect via an external IP address. How can I do this? Thanks!
[03:04] <DarkX411> my bad was about to restart
[03:05] <DarkX411> what'd you say?
[03:05] <Compiling> avi_ port forward or dmz
[03:05] <Compiling> look for those router features
[03:05] <tre> lubuntu is based on ubuntu but there is not folder sharing on the right click??? what do I need
[03:05] <seidos> MaRk-I, insmod, got it, thanks
[03:05] <BiggFREE> DarkX: It is the password for your Wireless only. It will ask only once time.
[03:05] <avi_> Compiling: Log into my router config and look for port forwarding configs?
[03:05] <MaRk-I> seidos: yw
[03:05] <xev> DarkStar1, I want to gain freespace. I got 3gb only
[03:05] <DarkStar1> avi_: It depends on how long you'll be away from home for. I mean if you know your IP before you leave, whilst you're away the lease could expire and the IP change
[03:05] <Compiling> yes
[03:06] <Compiling> avi_ id recommend setting up dyndns
[03:06] <DarkX411> ya it asks me for the wireless passwod
[03:06] <DarkStar1> xev: I don't think cup takes any significant amount of space to be worth it
[03:06] <DarkX411> password*
[03:06] <DarkX411> and then it doesn't work
[03:06] <MaRk-I> avi_: just adjust your router to port forward the selected ssh port to your pc
[03:06] <DarkX411> here lemme try again then
[03:06] <X32> 10.04 server ( just upgraded and NFS4 with extremely slow network connection, followed guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto#Installation but only getting 3mbit on 100mbit connection and I used to get near the max of 11.0mbit on 9.10 server nfs3. Any ideas?
[03:06] <avi_> Compiling: I'm in it -- I've actually got it config's for DynDNS. Perhaps it does actually work!
[03:06] <BiggFREE> Give it and ask it to save it for good.
[03:06] <bebo_> dos any one know how show am/pm in panel clock

[03:08] <bebo_> but first
[03:08] <avi_> Compiling: I'm in dyndyns.com, checking over my IPs. I've made an ip like myip.dyndyns.org, but should I set it to reflect my router's IP, my computer's local IP, or my computer's external IP?
[03:08] <Compiling> bebo_ we told you already

[03:11] <avi_> Compiling: WAN, that's external, right?
[03:12] <Compiling> avi_ whatever address you see here: http://whatsmyip.org
[03:12] <avi_> Compiling: Stupid question, it is.
[03:12] <Compiling> avi_ WAN = wide area network

[03:14] <Compiling> power is money
[03:14] <porjo> How do I configure services to start/stop at boot time. I've had a look at the 'bootup-manager' (bum) tool, but it seems to report inaccurate results e.g. it says smbd is *not* set to run at boot time, yet the smbd process is running on my system!
[03:14] <Compiling> we'll see what your times worth
[03:14] <tre> and linux desktop aint happening
[03:14] <xev> How to disable or enable services ubuntu..any GUI?
[03:14] <Compiling> linux has made me a fair bit so far :)
[03:14] <Compiling> no linux certs, all self taught
[03:14] <avi_> Compiling: Okay, I inputted it into my custom web address. Should it be an instant update? As in, will I be instantly able to SSH to my computer from that address?
[03:14] <Compiling> currently an admin for a large scale company
[03:15] <webPragmatist> hould i use the snakeoil.key for anything
[03:15] <tre> compil - whats on their desktops
[03:15] <Compiling> avi_ no you will also need to forward ports
[03:15] <porjo> xev: hey, I'm just looking at that myself...try 'bum' (bootup-manager)
[03:15] <Compiling> tre: all our servers are linux
[03:15] <tre> and your desktops are....drum roll - windows
[03:15] <Compiling> no duh
[03:15] <Compiling> we arent going to pay to teach over 500 people linux
[03:15] <xev> porjo, not installed. do i need to install?
[03:16] <Compiling> but knowing how to configure it comes in handy
[03:16] <Compiling> we have about 10% of our employees using linux
[03:16] <porjo> xev: yep, sudo apt-get install bum
[03:16] <tre> compil what about active directory all the goes away them your just using persmissions from linux?

[03:16] <Compiling> tre: google openldap
[03:16] <avi_> Compiling: I'm using a Linksys router. I'm assuming that I can do that under the Applications and Gaming tab, which presents a list ports I can forward to my computer's router address. Which ports need I forward?
[03:17] <Compiling> we also use kerberos
[03:17] <xev> porjo, ok, I going to try.

[03:19] <Compiling> avi: unless you are running linux in a vm
[03:19] <avi_> Compiling: It's also functional under Ubuntu, I've used it before actually.
[03:19] <Compiling> avi_: pm me your connection info
[03:19] <avi_> Compiling: Nope.
[03:19] <Compiling> ?
[03:20] <avi_> Compiling: No, I'm not running it in a vm.
[03:20] <Compiling> oh ok
[03:20] <avi_> Compiling: Actually, I have to download it. Give me a minute or two. Thanks man.

[03:20] <MaRk-I> but workable
[03:20] <avi_> Compiling: Offical download from teamviewer.com. Yes, it does use Wine.

[03:24] <Compiling> avi_: ill be a min grabbing some water
[03:24] <hypo> Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone is using multiple monitors (ATI)?  I'm having some problems setting mine up the way I want
[03:25] <unclemantis> i have spent 2 days trying to get a FTPSD running with no luck. I am then told to connect via SSH using SFTP so I did that and it worked! Now 5 hours later I try again and it won't connect. I then try to SSH into the account and I get the welcome to Ubuntu and the document url and stuff and then this "Connection to gigdates.com closed." WTF happened!?
[03:25] <idk> Compiling: i've seen homepages with structured source viewing, it was somehow easy to upload, maintain and publish =)
[03:25] <Compiling> idk: git?
[03:26] <unclemantis> i am a programer, not an admin so this really pisses me off :(
[03:27] <idk> Compiling: thanks! =) got any more tip on useful apps for my vps?
[03:27] <unclemantis> I AM able to log in using root
[03:27] <orangey> hello all!
[03:27] <unclemantis> i do not have any other users, just one other
[03:27] <avi_> Compiling: You get my PMs?
[03:27] <orangey> anybody know how to assign a pulseaudio "stream" to an alsa device?
[03:27] <orangey> i.e., alsa_output.pci-0000_00_14.2.analog-stereo.monitor
[03:28] <orangey> that records if I do: parec -d alsa_output.pci-0000_00_14.2.analog-stereo.monitor
[03:28] <Compiling> idk: shell access for me? :)
[03:28] <idk> Compiling: hihihi :D
[03:29] <idk> Compiling: could you recommend a ftp server, maybe optimized for vps?
[03:29] <unclemantis> ok. so no instant answer :(
[03:30] <unclemantis> i am reading to check hosts.deny and that is empty
[03:31] <unclemantis> and NOTHING has changed since the last time i tried this and it worked until now
[03:32] <racerd> anyone know of an android irc?
[03:32] <johngilbrough> I've recently installed Lucid from scratch.  In the last couple of days, my system time is way off.  I've set things up via the Time and Date tool to synchronize with a time server.  But things are still off (by 7 hours) even after a restart.  Any suggestions?

[03:33] <DarkStar1> unclemantis: sorry I just got back. What seems to be the problem?
[03:33] <unclemantis> could you scroll up? I do not wish to repost. Thanks for acknoledging :)
[03:34] <judgen> Well
[03:34] <Compiling> idk: I like pure-ftpd
[03:34] <Compiling> idk: I built an entire CGI frontend for it on the job actually
[03:34] <Compiling> idk: its all command based
[03:35] <idk> Compiling: could i get a url or something? =)
[03:35] <Compiling> i think its http://pureftpd.org
[03:35] <Compiling> should be in repo though, no?
[03:35] <subone> How do I specify more than one path to search for files using the find command?
[03:35] <judgen> M>>N
[03:35] <Compiling> the best part is it supports quotas with virtual users
[03:35] <Compiling> very secure
[03:35] <Compiling> much better than the common vsftpd in my opinion
[03:36] <airtonix> subone, loop it using the "for" statement
[03:36] <subone> thats the only way huh
[03:36] <DarkStar1> unclemantis: tbh I'm not 10% SSH identified let alone 100% but I can try to diagnose the problem for you.
[03:36] <judgen> i want to talk to you, is is use key words like epson and printre---
[03:37] <unclemantis> do you wish access to the box? I could really care less. I have no data and I can simply just rebuild
[03:37] <DarkStar1> unclemantis: You say nothing has changed and you can only log in as root?
[03:37] <unclemantis> Correct DarkStar1 and please do not repermand me about not logging in as another su :) i will get to that
[03:38] <DarkStar1> unclemantis: Also as a foreward you might actually get better help from the #networking channel
[03:38] <unclemantis> Well I figured I was using Ubuntu and this channel usualy helps with ANYTHING in Ubuntu, I thought I would give it a shot
[03:38] <DarkStar1> unclemantis: the best security you practice is up to you. We can't all act the same way :)
[03:38] <Compiling> subone: find /path1 /path2 -name filename ???
[03:39] <Compiling> no for loop necessary
[03:39] <unclemantis> DarkStar1 /msg me if you wish access and if you think you can actualy help out =)
[03:39] <DarkStar1> unclemantis: do you have physical access to the server?
[03:39] <unclemantis> Server is virtual and is hosted at RackSpaceCloud

[03:42] <Compiling> uRock try vim instead of vi?
[03:42] <braxton> iflema: Is there a command that will tell me if I have bluetooth capability?
[03:42] <polleri> Compiling, its not there!
[03:43] <uRock> Compiling, does it show any clue as to it doing anything? Using VIM
[03:43] <Alien_FX_Fiend> will i get banned for using a auto-greet script in here?
[03:43] <Compiling> polleri: do you have it on the desktop?
[03:43] <Alien_FX_Fiend> okay i'm disabling it, not taking any chances
[03:43] <braxton> Alien_FX_Fiend: Probably.
[03:43] <braxton> Alien_FX_Fiend: Ubottu is the alpha-automaton in here.
[03:43] <braxton> :C
[03:44] <braxton> Didn't mean to scare him away.
[03:44] <Compiling> uRock: try :marks
[03:44] <uRock> k
[03:44] <Compiling> uRock: it should show all the current marks
[03:44] <uRock> k, I am just hitting "mb" to mark it with b

[03:44] <Chaorain> Is there a way to tell drive size by command line?
[03:45] <polleri> Compiling, yes i do. I know this is not the right place to ask but maybe you can help me. I am trying to copy some files in the /var folder. The problem is that Ubuntu only lets me see the Library folder i think
[03:45] <Puffcio> ive installed a software on my ubuntu but cannot find it anywhere, where it could install?
[03:45] <braxton> thj: #ubuntu-jp
[03:45] <bastidrazor> Chaorain: df -h
[03:45] <iflema> braxton do you see the bluetooth icon in the panel?
[03:45] <uRock> Compiling, thanks for your help. After hitting :marks, it show all of the marks
[03:46] <Compiling> no problem
[03:46] <thj> ？？？
[03:46] <braxton> iflema: No. I'm guessing that means I don't have it.
[03:46] <braxton> thj: /join #ubuntu-jjp
[03:46] <bastidrazor> Chaorain: also sudo fdisk -l   ..will show drives not mounted
[03:46] <polleri> Compiling, yes it is
[03:46] <braxton> Can I get a translator up in here?
[03:46] <Chaorain> bastidrazor: thanks
[03:47] <Compiling> polleri try getting ssh working on it then you can scp in

[03:47] <braxton> Oh.
[03:47] <DarkStar1> Is there a command to check which users are created on the system as well as anyusers logged on?
[03:47] <johngilbrough> How does one get their clock synchronized?
[03:47] <Compiling> DarkStar1:
[03:47] <polleri> Compiling, what does scp mean?
[03:47] <Compiling> try who
[03:48] <Compiling> scp is secure copy
[03:48] <Loshki> !cn | thj
[03:48] <Compiling> DarkStar1 if you want to see created users check out /etc/passwd
[03:48] <Compiling> some are system users
[03:48] <DarkStar1> Compiling: thanks very much
[03:48] <Compiling> np
[03:49] <bastidrazor> Chaorain: you're welcome.
[03:50] <Nighthwk> Can anyone tell me how to bind a usb harddrive to a directory?
[03:50] <Compiling> mount /dev/sd* /directory?
[03:51] <Compiling> depends on the device name its given
[03:51] <programmeboy> mount
[03:51] <Nighthwk> Compiling: it shows up in my /media directory
[03:51] <Compiling> it should
[03:51] <Compiling> thats what i said
[03:51] <Compiling> oh whoops, wp
[03:51] <Compiling> if its in media you can run umount
[03:52] <Compiling> or right click it and hit unmount
[03:52] <Compiling> then remount it to a different mountpoint
[03:52] <Mogga> i'm playing around with kvm for a few vms on my server... i've got the first one going, an ldap server, next i was going to do the file server... should i export the file system from the host or create a block level vm and export within?
[03:52] <Mogga> using karmic
[03:52] <Thalone> Hello everyone! I just installed ubuntu for the first time and have a small problem -- none of my NTFS partitions are showing up and when i launch disk utility it gives me the loading cursor and then eventually it just closes
[03:53] <Nighthwk> Compiling: I can't bind it to anther location
[03:53] <Compiling> Nighthwk what did you try
[03:53] <programmeboy> Nighthwk: sudo
[03:54] <Mogga> can anyone offer some advice?
[03:54] <DarkStar1> Compiling: The last field in the /etc/passwd file specifies the user shall right?
[03:54] <Compiling> yep
[03:54] <Compiling> shell
[03:54] <Thalone> Any help would be much appreciated... I used "fdisk -l" and you can see the NTFS partitions, but when I try mount - it doesnt see it
[03:55] <Compiling> DarkStar1: if you want to see the layout of the file, use man 5 passwd
[03:55] <mobodo> since I installed 10.04, vlc runs at a low framerate (~20fps) even though it's only using 2-3% of the CPU, anybody has an idea what I could be looking at?
[03:55] <Compiling> video drivers
[03:55] <Thalone> drivers would be my guess
[03:55] <mobodo> I think it has to do with the detected refresh rate of my monitor
[03:56] <mobodo> ok I'll see if I can install other drivers, thanks
[03:56] <Nighthwk> Compiling: I'm trying to bind one directory from my usb drive to a directory, not the whole hd
[03:56] <Thalone> so anyone have any ideas for my problem? or anything they can refer me to -- google hasnt worked up to this point
[03:57] <Nighthwk> Compiling: On my other computer i could put the bind command in the /etc/rc.local file
[03:57] <Compiling> Nighthwk: mount --bind
[03:58] <thune3> Thalone: i'm not an expert. are you mounting automatically using gnome, using fstab, or manual mount command?
[03:59] <Compiling> Nighthwk: you may also be interested in a symbolic link
[03:59] <mdel_> im having some ssh troubles at the moment
[03:59] <Compiling> see man ln
[03:59] <Compiling> look at the -s switch
[03:59] <Thalone> if you mean the linux partition im assuming its being done automatically as i go from booting the computer to grub to login
[03:59] <mdel_> trying to connect from my mac to my ubuntu box at work, i get stuck at "expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP"
[04:00] <Compiling> mdel_ run ssh -v
[04:00] <Compiling> that enables verbose mode
[04:00] <Thalone> the NTFS partitions arent being mounted - mount doesnt see them
[04:00] <mdel_> Compiling: thats how i saw the error...
[04:00] <mdel_> well, not the error
[04:00] <DarkStar1> compiling thanks for your help
[04:00] <Compiling> mdel_ what version of openssh
[04:00] <mdel_> but where its getting stuck
[04:00] <dsnyders> Hi all!  Is there a util that detects duplicate files?
[04:00] <Compiling> any time
[04:00] <thune3> Thalone: i'm still confused, are you mounting using command or using Places-> menu?
[04:01] <mdel_> on the mac, 5.2p1
[04:01] <Thalone> i tried using mount from commandline
[04:01] <mdel_> Compiling: whatever the latest is in 10.04 at work
[04:01] <mdel_> (server)
[04:01] <Nighthwk> Compiling: Ok, that works now how do I get it to stay on reboot?
[04:01] <Maletor> In ~/.mailrc I have 'set sendmail='/usr/bin/msmtp'. However, when I try to use mailx to send mail I get an error from msmtp that there are no recepients from this command 'mailx<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[04:01] <Compiling> Nighthwk youll need to make an fstab entry
[04:01] <minderaser> I'd like to connect my 2 linux laptops with a crossover ethernet cablle I have. What's the most simple, direct way to do this? All I want to do is move files between the two.
[04:02] <Thalone> Places-> menu doesnt show the partitions, only the one linux partition and cd drive
[04:02] <mdel_> Compiling: any other ideas
[04:02] <Nighthwk> Compiling: Ok,  thanks for all the help
[04:02] <Compiling> mdel_ ubuntu uses 5.4.x or 5.5 i believe
[04:02] <Compiling> try updating
[04:02] <dsnyders> minderaser, assign each an ip address, eg <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> with subnet mask of <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:02] <thune3> Thalone: so after mounting, "mount" shows the mount but you cant access?
[04:02] <Compiling> also check /etc/hosts.deny and /etc/hosts.allow
[04:02] <mdel_> Compiling: here's the thing - it worked yesterday
[04:03] <mdel_> Compiling: ive connected to the box a million times from this machine
[04:03] <mdel_> just all of a sudden, im hanging at expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP
[04:03] <Compiling> well what changed between today and yesterday?
[04:03] <Compiling> did you run updates on either machine?
[04:04] <Thalone> thune3: no i cant mount the 2 NTFS partitions at all... they are in /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 (i know because i see them using "fdisk -l" but I cannot mount them using mount
[04:05] <mdel_> Compiling: i updated ubuntu, but there weren't any updates to anything ssh/net related
[04:05] <Loshki> Maletor: I thought msmtp was a drop-in replacement for sendmail i.e. you should pretend you're still using sendmail. What does ls -l /usr/bin/sendmail point to?
[04:05] <mdel_> also, i only get this sporadically
[04:05] <Thalone> thune3: i got them to show up! apparently in lucid it doesnt automatically install ntfs-3g after setup
[04:05] <mdel_> i can connect, use it for 5 minutes, then it lags out
[04:05] <mdel_> i try to reconnect, i get that message'
[04:05] <Compiling> mdel_ can you pastebin the output of ifconfig | grep -i mtu
[04:06] <mdel_> this is over VPN, the VPN mtu is 1444
[04:06] <Loshki> mdel_: 'lags out'? What exactly does that mean?
[04:06] <Compiling> mdel_ try setting both MTUs to 576
[04:06] <mdel_> Loshki: gets slow to respond, keystrokes are behind
[04:06] <elgiad007> Does anyone get a periodic flashing of the screen, forcing a reboot, in the latest version of Ubuntu?
[04:07] <mdel_> Compiling: i saw that thread
[04:07] <Compiling> sounds like u have hardware issues
[04:07] <Loshki> mdel_: can't hurt to try Compiling's suggestion...
[04:07] <Mogga> anyone help with a kvm question?
[04:07] <Compiling> if you saw it or not is irrelevant if you didnt act upon it
[04:07] <Compiling> its not really a thread
[04:07] <Compiling> http://www.snailbook.com/faq/mtu-mismatch.auto.html
[04:07] <mdel_> Compiling: well how can i set the mtu on the office machine...
[04:08] <Compiling> you said its more or less sporadic
[04:08] <Compiling> wait till it works again
[04:08] <Compiling> do you have an IP KVM?
[04:08] <thune3> Thalone: that's weird, ntfs-3g is part of package ubuntu-standard which i thought you would have had installed. Glad you got it.
[04:08] <Maletor> Loshki: /usr/sbin/sendmail points to exim4
[04:08] <Loshki> mdel_: could be network constipation I suppose, but you'd expect that not to fail consistently at SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP...
[04:08] <sneakers> What is the best option for a live distro that already includes all the non-free stuff to play music, videos, commerical DVDs, flash player, etc?
[04:09] <Loshki> Maletor: so you're running exim4 as well as msmtp?
[04:09] <mdel_> Loshki: i agree
[04:09] <Mogga> Compiling: sorry IP? i'm using kvm to host multiple vms on a server... have a question about file server setup concepts
[04:09] <Maletor> Loshki: I'm following this guide. http://klenwell.com/is/UbuntuCommandLineGmail
[04:09] <Maletor> Loshki: And it's not working
[04:09] <Thalone> thune3: i thought so too, curiously it wasnt though... thanks for the help though =)
[04:09] <Mogga> Compiling: you're thinking about display/keyboard kvms my guess
[04:10] <Mogga> not libvirt et al
[04:10] <Compiling> i was directing that at mdel, sorry mogga
[04:10] <Mogga> np
[04:10] <mdel_> Compiling: IP KVM???
[04:10] <Compiling> sneakers: try superOS
[04:10] <mdel_> though you were talking to Mogga
[04:10] <Compiling> its more or less ubuntu with all the goodies
[04:11] <Compiling> mdel_ they are more or less standard when you manage servers in the corporate world
[04:11] <Compiling> its like a kvm
[04:11] <Compiling> but u can use it over the internet
[04:11] <sneakers> Compiling, Linkie?
[04:11] <mdel_> are you talking like VNC?
[04:11] <Compiling> http://hacktolive.org/wiki/Super_OS
[04:11] <mdel_> nomachine?
[04:11] <mdel_> ncclient/server
[04:11] <Compiling> not really
[04:11] <mdel_> nx*
[04:12] <mdel_> ah ok
[04:12] <Loshki> Maletor: I use ssmtp with gmail instead, and it does work. http://www.nixtutor.com/linux/send-mail-with-gmail-and-ssmtp/
[04:12] <Compiling> sneakers: see also http://www.browserlinux.com/ and http://www.linuxmint.com/index.php
[04:12] <Compiling> i think mint comes with all that
[04:13] <Compiling> Linux Mint Live DVD: Contains additional software such as Java, VLC, F-Spot, OpenOffice.org-base, Samba, additional wallpapers and ttf-dejaVu fonts
[04:13] <Compiling> flash as well i believe
[04:13] <Loshki> mdel_: if the load on the office machine is unreasonably high, I would expect lag, and delay around the SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP since that's where all the heavy math starts to execute...
[04:14] <sneakers> Compiling, Yea but can it play .wmv does it have browser flash, etc?
[04:14] <Maletor> Loshki: well I can send an email with msmtp
[04:14] <mdel_> Loshki: it's just my workstation, there is no load
[04:14]  * DarkStar1 bids everyone a goodnight/morning
[04:14] <Compiling> sneakers, mint should have all that
[04:14] <Maletor> Loshki: but this is about getting it to work with mailx
[04:14] <Compiling> VLC will handle most of whats thrown at it
[04:14] <Compiling> if not apt-get install mplayer
[04:15] <foo> Uh, my refurbished 1TB hard drive that seagate just sent out went into read only mode and I see this in the syslog: kernel: [177056.427393] EXT3-fs error (device sdb1): ext3_find_entry: reading directory #41042621 offset 0 - any thoughts?
[04:15] <Compiling> foo run a fsck
[04:16] <Loshki> Maletor: mailx is just a front end, it should work with any sendmail compatible backend, including exim4 and/or msmtp/ssmtp or even sendmail. Is there anything interesting in the mail logs /var/log/mail.*
[04:17] <foo> Compiling: any idea what that means? I can do that, this is just a brand new refurb I got... and I wiped the old drive.
[04:17] <Loshki> mdel_: I can't explain it. Can you ssh into your workstation while it's bogged down and see what's going on that way?
[04:17] <mdel_> i cant get in at all now
[04:17] <Compiling> sounds like a simple offset error
[04:17] <Maletor> Loshki: I looked there. Just a bunch of spamd stuff. Also, I set the log for smstp to /tmp/msmtp.log and nothing shows up there
[04:17] <Compiling> http://groups.google.com/group/alt.sysadmin.recovery/msg/ac0377d78f8f3fe9?hl=en&pli=1
[04:18] <Loshki> mdel_: When you're at work, can you e.g. ssh from work to home, then vpn back in, so you can see what the workstation is doing?
[04:18] <mdel_> i guess i could
[04:19] <mdel_> but i had some important shit to do tonight that I didn't commit to the repo
[04:19] <mdel_> so i kinda need to figure something out now
[04:19] <Loshki> mdel_: for all you know, someone is running a huge torrent at work, after hours, and clogging the net...
[04:19] <mdel_> nah thats not it
[04:19] <mdel_> there's 3 of us
[04:19] <Compiling> ssh uses little to nothing
[04:19] <Compiling> torrents shouldnt cause that
[04:20] <Loshki> Compiling: I'm kinda clutching at straws trying to explain the lag phenomenon...
[04:20] <ennui> Bah! I am trying to get write permission on a hfs+ partition. I disabled journaling but I still get read only.....
[04:20] <mdel_> Loshki: the lag isn't the bad part, its the fact that I can't connect
[04:20] <Compiling> mdel_ how long does the error take to pop up
[04:20] <Compiling> if its instant it probably isnt la
[04:20] <Compiling> lag
[04:20] <mdel_> there isn't an error, it just gets stuck
[04:20] <Compiling> the machine is actively refusing it
[04:20] <Compiling> when you try to connect back in?
[04:21] <Loshki> mdel_: do you know if it's just your workstation? Can you reach anyone else's desktop?
[04:21] <mdel_> the lag occurred when i COULD conect
[04:21] <Compiling> you dont get an error...
[04:21] <mdel_> Compiling: nope
[04:21] <mdel_> expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP
[04:21] <mdel_> that the last line in the outout
[04:21] <clusty> Compiling: how many connections?
[04:21] <mdel_> output
[04:21] <clusty> you could clog the NAT table
[04:21] <mdel_> Loshki: no same problem
[04:21] <cilly> QUESTION:  WHERE ARE THE DRIVER FILES LOCATED IN UBUNTU 6.10?
[04:22] <mdel_> its only ssh also, i can get into mysql just fine
[04:22] <clusty> cilly: STOP FOKIN SCREAMING
 QUESTION
[04:22] <mdel_> hahah that's funny
[04:22] <profxavier> cilly, can you be more specific ?
[04:22] <mdel_> cilly.... like silly
[04:22] <mdel_> har har har
[04:22] <profxavier> mdel_, thats why they are c[s]illy :D
[04:22] <profxavier> hehe
[04:23]  * Loshki thinks attention spans are shorter than usual tonight...
[04:23] <cilly> What is the path to the driver files in ubuntu 6.10?
[04:24] <timemachine3030> trying to make an errorformat that will match the errors produced by rhino, here is what I have and it is not working: http://pastebin.com/4HRgnd7q
[04:24] <cilly> For example what file are the video drivers located in?
[04:24] <timemachine3030> sorry ... wrong window.
[04:25] <tertl3> cilly
[04:25] <MaRk-I> cilly: /etc/X11
[04:25] <tertl3> cilly, it's in there, i promise
[04:26] <Maletor> Loshki: so nothing you can think of?
[04:26] <Maletor> Loshki: it's as if msmtp is being run without the parameters that mailx is setting
[04:26] <iflema> ubottu: tell cilly about edgy
[04:27] <Loshki> Maletor: doesn't mailx have a -v (verbose) switch. Try it and see if there's anything obvious. Maybe pastebin the output?
[04:28] <Maletor> Loshki: yes it does but it doesn't log anything
[04:28] <Maletor> Loshki: this person solved it
[04:29] <Maletor> Loshki: but i can't figure what he means http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=780509&page=2
[04:30] <cilly> I realize that.  But I found an old powermac G3 on the side of the road.  It has a rage128 video card.  The new releases of ubuntu dont have the driver for this card
[04:30] <cilly> that is why I am using 6.10
[04:30] <bobthemilkman> cilly: Uh, you could always download the sources from nvidia.
[04:31] <cilly> it is an ATI card.
[04:31] <Maletor> Loshki: ok ya that solved it. i just needed a different package of mailx. god that was confusing
[04:31] <cilly> and 10.04 does not have and xorg.conf to change the settings
[04:31] <Loshki> Maletor: it's pretty appalling that there are two versions of mailx in different packages, and one works and the other doesn't...
[04:31] <MaRk-I> cilly: you can use the "ati" drivers, no desktop effects tho
[04:32] <Loshki> Maletor: that explains why I've never had a problem with ssmtp....
[04:32] <Vin73> hi, is there a way to install adobe acrobat reader by means of apt-get on lucid?
[04:32] <Zelozelos> im lookin for a GUI for lm-sensors, i found ksensors but when i run it i only get a blank square im guessing kde is kubuntu desktop environment? anyhow what do i need i have ubuntu 10.04 runnin default everything w compiz and metacity
[04:33] <MaRk-I> gnome-sensors??
[04:33] <digitalslave> anyone here running ubuntu with a newer docsis 3 motorola surfboard? im experiencing bad network lag but other computers on the modem fly (win7)
[04:33] <ennui> does anyone know how to get write permission on a hfs+ partition in linux? I went into OSX and disabled journaling on the partition in question as I had read in forum posts that this would allow me to write but upon booting into linux and mounting the drive I found this to be untrue. I have also tried chown which won't work. and using mount with -t hfsplus -o rw didn't work either... :*(
[04:33] <Vin73> hello?
[04:33] <bobthemilkman> Vin73: I'd suggest against using Adobe Acrobat Reader unless you *really* need it.
[04:33] <Zelozelos> ty MaRk-I . i searched lm-sensors, but gnome sensors didnt show, lemme search that one
[04:33] <ryanprior> Hey there. I can't get DAAP sharing to work between my Rhythmbox and my roommate's, who is on the same LAN and also using Ubuntu. How do I make this work?
[04:33] <bobthemilkman> evince is superior, and should work fine for most applications.
[04:34] <bobthemilkman> However, if you are *SURE* that you want to use Acrobat, here are the directions: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2008/06/23/install-adobe-acrobat-reader-812-on-ubuntu-804/
[04:34] <MaRk-I> !sensors | Zelozelos
[04:34] <Vin73> bonthemilkman: thanks...
[04:34] <trism> Vin73: if you want it, it is in the partner repo, acroread package
[04:34] <trism> !partner | Vin73
[04:35] <fodder70> Zelozelos: gnome sensor applet
[04:35] <cilly> So if I can find the file with the old ati rage128 driver from 6.10  could I copy it into a newer version?
[04:35] <Zelozelos> jeez MaRk-I i already said i had lm-sensors, does it have a graphical interface?
[04:35] <Vin73> trism, ubottu: thanks...
[04:35] <MaRk-I> Zelozelos: if you read the page ... you can see "sensors-applet"
[04:35] <digitalslave> Zelozelos, use conky or another gui frontend to query the info
[04:35] <rww> Zelozelos: there are several of them described on the page MaRk-I linked to.
[04:35] <john38> If an intruction file tells you to type --buildpkg [<distro>/<package>]
[04:35] <john38> how would i type the distro and package
[04:36] <rww> hrm, well, two. I thought there were more :\
[04:36] <Zelozelos> ahhh ok, ty guys
[04:36] <cilly> I dont see any drivers in X11
[04:36] <ryanprior> I can't get DAAP sharing to work between my Rhythmbox and my roommate's, who is on the same LAN and also using Ubuntu. How do I make this work?
[04:37] <Maletor> Loshki: how can I set it up so that I can read my gmail via command line?
[04:38] <frage1209> I need to redirect the TCP traffic directed to <IP_ADDRESS>:5432 to <IP_ADDRESS>:5432. Any one knows how to do that?
[04:39] <john38> anybody???
[04:41] <realubot> Vin73: I use Evince and have never had any problems viewing pdf files.
[04:41] <Loshki> Maletor: Not many people want to do that, but I found this on google: http://lifehacker.com/275404/access-gmail-from-the-command-line
[04:41] <john38> can someone help me
[04:42] <cilly> oh well.  I give up for tonite.  I'm going to bed
[04:42] <Vin73> ubottu: I tried the command that you mentioned....but I don't see the repository getting added...and subsequently sudo apt-get acroread fails with invalid operation...
[04:43] <MaRk-I> cilly: try 8.10 it will detect it
[04:43] <frage1209> Any iptables guru on redirecting?
[04:43] <Vin73> realubot: I prefer using acrorread since I am more familiar with the same...
[04:44] <MaRk-I> Vin73: you have to install acroread from the website, unless you have ubuntu tweak
[04:44] <cilly> alright, thanks.  I will do more work tomorrow.  good night
[04:45] <MaRk-I> Vin73: and it's "sudo apt-get install acroread"   you missed install
[04:45] <Vin73> MaRk-I: what is ubuntu tweak?
[04:45] <Vin73> MaRk-I: ok, let me try again...
[04:45] <trism> Vin73: you don't need ubuntu tweak, you just need to sudo apt-get update; after adding the repo
[04:45] <trism> Vin73: then you can sudo apt-get install acroread;
[04:46] <Zelozelos> the sensor applet is perfect ty again guys
[04:47] <MaRk-I> Zelozelos: yw
[04:47] <charlie> hi,guys
[04:49] <ennui> Question: I have a lot of media files spread over several hard drives. These files are being seeded to different trackers. Would it be practical to set the HDDs as a raid array so that I can point my torrent client to a single directory for all these files? and would you advise using a software raid as opposed to real raid?
[04:50] <Zelozelos> ok a q about the CPU freq Scaling Monitor applet, it it actually changing the mhz my processor is runnin at? or limiting it what is it doing exactly?
[04:50] <john38> Can somebody help me??
[04:50] <Vin73> MaRk-I: I tried sudo apt-get install acroread....but the result is "couldn't find package acroread"
[04:51] <trism> Vin73: you need to update the package list after adding a repo: sudo apt-get update;
[04:51] <Zelozelos> john38 u should simple restate the issue every once in a while, if no body answered they dont know or havent read the issue yet
[04:51] <dude007> sudo apt-cache search "stringhere"
[04:51] <Zelozelos> john38, btw, what IS the issue again?
[04:51] <john38> If an intruction file tells you to type --buildpkg [<distro>/<package>]
[04:52] <Vin73> trism: which repostiory should I be adding inorder to have acroread?
[04:52] <john38> how do i type distro and package
[04:52] <trism> Vin73: partner
[04:52] <Zelozelos> joihn38 ill give it a shot, what instructions exactly?
[04:52] <fodder70> Zelozelos: the cpu freq scaler does not do FSB, and be careful of your pc fan doesnt turn off while doing some of your lm-sensor stuff
[04:52] <trism> dude007: you don't need to sudo to use apt-cache
[04:52] <Vin73> trism: can you please help me with the command to add this repository?
[04:52] <john38> no im just trying to install Ati driver\
[04:53] <trism> Vin73: you're on 10.04 right?
[04:53] <john38> and i need to add --buildpkg [<distro>/<package>]
[04:53] <john38> how do i type distro and package
[04:53] <Vin73> trism: yes...that is correct
[04:53] <trism> Vin73: sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner"
[04:53] <Zelozelos> fodder70, i hope it dosent disable it, i only got the sensors because sometimes i forget to turn on my coolpad so i set a warning at 180degrees
[04:53] <Vin73> trism: thanks...
[04:54] <xangua> Vin73: justo go to system>preferences>software origins then in the 'ohter software' tab search and mark thr partner repository, you will be asked to update
[04:54] <xangua> after that you open the software center and install adobe reader
[04:54] <Zelozelos> fodder70, my lappie always overheats w/o the coolpad :(
[04:54] <invitado> hello??
[04:54] <invitado> hello??

[04:54] <fodder70> Zelozelos, add the fan sensor to gnome sensors applet for a few reboots in case
[04:54] <john38> im using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS lucid
[04:55] <Zelozelos> good idea ty fodder70
[04:55] <Vin73> xangua: I do not see software origins under system->preferences
[04:55] <trism> Vin73: software sources
[04:55] <trism> Vin73: and it is under System/Administration
[04:56] <Vin73> trism: ok
[04:56] <Mogga> can anyone help with an ubuntu kvm question... #virtualization is empty
[04:56] <Flomaster> im pulling my hair out trying to flash my bios using unetbootin and freedos anyone have any experience with it?
[04:56] <frage1209> iptables gurus, please put your hands up!
[04:56] <Thalone> does anyone know if there is a clock widget or something i could put on my desktop? (im running gnome)
[04:56] <Zelozelos> fodder70, is that another applet i need to install or just add to the panel?
[04:57] <fodder70> its a preference in the applet
[04:57] <john38> any ideas Zelozelos
[04:57] <MaRk-I> Thalone: not sure but I think you have to install "desklets"
[04:57] <fodder70> if you are suffereing heat issues, "fancontrol" is a fan configurator
[04:58] <Zelozelos> i need to pull my heat-sink or whatever its called n clean it
[04:59] <Thalone> MaRk-I: Nothing came up for "desklets" when i used apt-get
[04:59] <Zelozelos> sorry john38 i didnt see what instructions you r trying to follow lemme scroll up
[04:59] <Zelozelos> ahh the ati driver, can u link to me the page you're reading?
[04:59] <xangua> Thalone: try gdesklets
[05:00] <john38> actully its the readme file
[05:00] <Thalone> xangua: found it thanks
[05:01] <upgrdman> anyone here experienced with ups (battery backup)?
[05:01] <Vin73> trism: when I go to software sources and select the updates, there is no way to start downloading them (no start download button or similar)...when I click on close after selection, nothing happens
[05:01] <Uberpwn> Does this room also support Linux Mint
[05:02] <Zelozelos> john38 ul's never work for me pm me and paste it or goto pastall.org n paste it ure choice
[05:02] <MaRk-I> !mintsupport | Uberpwn
[05:02] <trism> Vin73: so you checked the partner repository line on the other software tab, then closed the software sources but it didn't prompt you to update?
[05:03] <Vin73> trism: no, it didn't
[05:03] <upgrdman> i have an 1100VA Belkin UPS that has served me well for almost five years now. I recently had a need for a second UPS and I bought a 1000VA APC UPS. If I perform the self test with my new APC UPS (or simply cut power) my computer shuts off immediately. The UPS only shows a load of about 20%, 269 Watts to be specific. The UPS is rated for 600W / 1000VA. Any ideas why my box shuts off?
[05:03] <trism> Vin73: you can always manually: sudo apt-get update; although perhaps you already have it now, try: sudo apt-get install acroread;
[05:03] <xev> any way to resize "root.disk"?
[05:04] <Vin73> trism: I tried sudo apt-get install acroread...it did not succeed
[05:04] <Flomaster> im pulling my hair out trying to flash my bios using unetbootin and freedos anyone have any experience with it?
[05:04] <MaRk-I> Vin73: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install acroread
[05:04] <MaRk-I> try that
[05:04] <trism> Vin73: then try: sudo apt-get update; then try installing again, if that doesn't work, you'll need to pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:05] <Vin73> trism: ok, let me try..
[05:05] <MaRk-I> Flomaster: no exp. with that
[05:05] <hellrabbit> upgrdman - Have you played with the S2 S3 power settings in the bios on the box that shuts down?
[05:05] <MaRk-I> Flomaster: it's not a dell pc is it?
[05:06] <upgrdman> hellrabbit, no i will look into that. thanks. what s2 s3 mean?
[05:06] <avi_> Hey guys, I'm irritated by the default Ubuntu extraction utility. I have to go through like 5 clicks after I download a file to unzip it. Is there some way to make Ubuntu "auto-extract" all downloaded files in /Downloads, or perhaps an alternate manager with a more simple UI? I don't like/need the clutter/extra clicks. Thanks!
[05:06] <Flomaster> MaRk-I: no its an zotac Ionitx-G-E motherboard
[05:07] <trism> avi_: you should be able to right click a group of files and click "Extract here..."
[05:07] <MaRk-I> Flomaster: oic I flashed one dell, there's some how-to's with flashrom but.... quite dangerous heh
[05:08] <Zelozelos> john38, stop pasting
[05:08] <avi_> trism: Right you are, but I'm talking about downloads from, say, Firefox. If I have it open after download, I have like 5 clicks to go through before I get it extracted, plus, I have to specify the directory to output to each time.
[05:09] <xev> any way to resize "root.disk"?
[05:09] <hellrabbit> Honestly I am not sure as to the spesifics on S2 and S3, I'm not around any production class machines right now... typically on Dell servers and HP those options tend to be the second to last tab in bios. I think it has to do with the type of backup power supply your using.
[05:09] <Zelozelos> john38, try ati-packager.sh --buildpkg im thinking
[05:09] <MaRk-I> avi_: you can set FF to d/l all your stuff to a specific folder
[05:09] <xangua> or just certain files avi_
[05:10] <xangua> mmm i think that is only with an addon
[05:10] <Thalone> Any idea why gDesklets wont launch? I go to Applications -> Accessories -> gDesklets and the loading cursor comes up and then goes away after awhile and nothing is there :X
[05:10] <Vin73> trism: I think apt-get update did it...thanks for help
[05:10] <trism> avi_: "Extract Here" (near the bottom) extracts to the current directory and doesn't ask you anything
[05:10] <trism> Vin73: excellent, so it's installed now?
[05:10] <john38> Zelozelos the section starting from 4 is where im at
[05:10] <Vin73> trism: installing :)
[05:10] <john38> yeah just --buildpkg wont work
[05:10] <avi_> Mark_I: Yes, it does. Into /Downloads/. But why can't it auto-extract after downloading, without my permission? I know its possible on OS X.
[05:10] <john38> i need to add distro and package
[05:11] <MaRk-I> avi_: security reasons??
[05:11] <Vin73> MaRk-I: thanks
[05:11] <palam> i have a .pem file and a .p12 file from my payment gateway. anyone know which one i should install and where i can find instructions? i'm on 8.04
[05:11] <avi_> Trism: Yes. I love that functionality. I suppose what I'm looking for is it to auto-extract without my permission.
[05:11] <MaRk-I> Vin73: yw
[05:12] <avi_> Mark-I: Why yes, of course. But I'm not worried about that. So is there any way to do it, anyhow?
[05:12] <lolzor> hi guys, how do I install google chrome? I tried with apt-get install chromium but it seems to be a game -.-
[05:12] <lolzor> Should I use the deb packages?
[05:12] <xangua> lolzor: sudo apt-get install chromium
[05:12] <MaRk-I> avi_: there might be, I dont know it tho
[05:13] <lolzor> xangua that seems to be a game, why? I can't open it either
[05:13] <xangua> lolzor: if you use other language install chromium-browser-l10n
[05:13] <avi_> Mark-I: Ah, well thanks for the help anyhow.
[05:13] <vag> can someone help me install ubuntu form windows?
[05:13] <xangua> lolzor: ooh sorry, the package name is chromium-browser
[05:13] <its-me-again> !ask
[05:13] <lolzor> xangua I'm doing apt-get update, but it doesn-t find the package either.
[05:14] <xangua> lolzor: and if you use other language besides english install chromium-browser-l10n
[05:14] <jjast73> try "apt-cache search chroium"
[05:14] <lolzor> xangua I think I need to add a new repository link, do you know which is the one that maintains the browser package?
[05:14] <vag> its-me-again do you need help installing ubuntu?
[05:14] <xangua> lolzor: mmmm what version of ubuntu do you use¿¿
[05:14] <lolzor> pretty old one
[05:14] <hellrabbit> Scripting question :) Looking for a keyword I can google for; when you write a script for a program that pipes information to a new file and you have your script automatically name that file based on time, date, or numerically?
[05:14] <KnifeySpooney> How do i set a default theme for the GDM screen?
[05:14] <xangua> lolzor: chromium browser is in lucid's defaul repository
[05:14] <KnifeySpooney> default cursor theme*
[05:14] <vag> KnifeySpooney i like your name
[05:14] <ITSa341> good evening
[05:15] <KnifeySpooney> vag: have you played KnifeySpooney before? :)
[05:15] <lolzor> xangua thannks, I'll try to find the repositories
[05:15] <vag> THIS ... is a knife
[05:15] <vag> [shows spoon]
[05:15] <KnifeySpooney> that's not a knife, that's a spoon
[05:15] <zkriesse> ITSa341: hello
[05:15] <vag> I see you've played knifey spooney before ...
[05:15] <xangua> lolzor: lucid is the latest version of ubuntu :S what version are you using¿¿
[05:15] <KnifeySpooney> haha
[05:15] <vag> brb rebooting
[05:15] <Loshki> hellrabbit: it's done using the date +format command to generate a file name...
[05:16] <hellrabbit> Thank you Loshki
[05:16] <lolzor> xangua I'm using jaunty
[05:17] <lolzor> xangua do you have the repos links? in order to add them in the source.list?
[05:17] <MaRk-I> KnifeySpooney: cursor theme or GDM theme?
[05:17] <xangua> lolzor: i do not, it's in lucid's default repository
[05:17] <ITSa341> Any advice on using a Marvell Topdog a,b,g,n on Lucid 64 bit
[05:17] <KnifeySpooney> MaRk-I, cursor theme of GDM, but I think i found it now
[05:18] <lolzor> xangua yes but what's the lucid new repositorie in order to add it to my source.list
[05:18] <stewart_> ubunutu newb here. I have an old version of me tv installed but cannot figure out how to upgrade to the newest
[05:18] <MaRk-I> KnifeySpooney: ok
[05:18] <KnifeySpooney> MaRk-I, nevermind that wasn't it, do you have any tips? the information in /usr/share/icons/default/index.theme is correct but not being used
[05:18] <racerd> is there anyway to manipulate files that have root permissions?
[05:18] <xangua> lolzor: you can not use repositories of one version into another
[05:19] <MaRk-I> KnifeySpooney: no idea, gdm theme is one thing , cursors are another
[05:19] <KnifeySpooney> MaRk-I, well I have the custom theme installed as default for all users, but when logging out it gets reset to DMZ-White
[05:20] <BranC> Quick question: Can I use aptitude on a cli ubuntu install to install packages from a cd? The box has no internet connection.
[05:20] <MaRk-I> gdm theme is in System/administration/login window, and cursor are in system/preferences/appearance/customize button/ cursors
[05:20] <xangua> stewart_: have you looked for a me tv PPA in launchpad¿¿
[05:21] <stewart_> I am relatively new to linux and have no clue how to add a PPA
[05:22] <foo> http://pastebin.com/MeWC0ip8 - hm, guess that looks already. /me researches output
[05:22] <jjast73> sudo add-apt-repository ppa:chromium-daily
[05:22] <BranC> Quick question: Can I use aptitude on a cli ubuntu install to install packages from a cd? The box has no internet connection.
[05:22] <racerd> chromium?
[05:22] <racerd> what is that?
[05:22] <nocturnus> okay i'm back
[05:22] <thune3> upgrdman: are you using apcupds, and can you look at /var/log/apcupsd.events to see what event triggered the shutdown?
[05:22] <nocturnus> after a long day's work
[05:22] <jjast73> its a web browser
[05:24] <stewart_> sorry not sure if the command given was for me?
[05:24] <jjast73> yeah, sorry
[05:25] <jjast73> I'm being lazy, I just google'd " how to add a PPA ubuntu"
[05:25] <xangua> jjast73: not really good idea use the daily build
[05:26] <xangua> jjast73: this looks better https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/stable ppa:chromium-daily/stable
[05:28] <stewart_> xangua: I found https://launchpad.net/~me-tv-development/+archive/ppa but have no clue. I think I need to buy a book lol
[05:28] <xangua> stewart_: like jjast73 said: sudo add-apt-repository "ppa's name"
[05:28] <upgrdman> thune3, it wasnt a shutdown. the pc turns off, as if it lost power. i could turn it back on, and it would work off of the battery power from the ups
[05:29] <upgrdman> thune3, and i do not have any ups software installed except for gnome's monitor
[05:29] <lolzor> There should be a way to use a lucid repositorie in order to install crhome in jaunty
[05:29] <YTG> hey how can i use a linksys wireless usb card to connect to the internet on ubuntu i found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=972060  but im not mutch of a computer person could someone explain it to me? :P
[05:30] <xangua> stewart_: in this case seeing the ppa you found it would be: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:me-tv-development/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[05:30] <lolzor> In order to use chrome I'll have to download the chrome package in the lucid repos?, then use apt-get install locally? The orig.tar.tz
[05:31] <xangua> lolzor: or just add the stable ppa https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/stable
[05:31] <stewart_> xangua: THANKS!
[05:33] <thune3> upgrdman: oh. i assumed you had some hookup to tell the os to shutdown when the ups battery got low. If the only connection from the UPS is the power to the computer, then is sound like there is enough of a power interruption (or low enough voltage) that your computer turns off.
[05:34] <YTG> hey how can i use a linksys wireless usb card to connect to the internet on ubuntu i found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=972060  but im not mutch of a computer person could someone explain it to me? :P
[05:35] <sircaptain> i was hoping someone could help.  i'm actually using mint, but i'm having problems with my wireless network card.  i have a broadcom 4312.  i have been through many tutorials on how to fix it, and am still not there.  if you have the time, i'd truly appreciate a step by step
[05:35] <thune3> lolzor: have you simply tried installing from www.google.com/chrome ?
[05:35] <Zelozelos> is there any that when i copy text to keep it on the clip board even if i closed the program i copied it from, as in, if i copied a few words out of a web page and then closed the browser to still be able to paste them somewhere?
[05:36] <Fraxtil> I need to be able to view / edit ALL id3 tags in an mp3 file, including nonstandard tags used by iTunes like "Album Artist". What program should I use?
[05:36] <racerd> what is the command for creating files?
[05:36] <jjast73> racerd: touch
[05:36] <maco> Fraxtil: audio tagtool can do it
[05:36] <Fraxtil> racerd: can you be more specific? do you just need a blank file?
[05:36] <maco> racerd: touch
[05:36] <MaRk-I> Zelozelos: you can install either "klipper" (although is a kde app still works) or glipper for gnome
[05:37] <racerd> yes a blank file i can edit
[05:37] <Zelozelos> ahh ok i tried to search for one, but didnt know what strings to pull on ;)
[05:37] <xangua> Zelozelos: use a clip board manager like parcellite or if you preffer the indicators use pastie (need to add a PPA)
[05:37] <racerd> from command line
[05:37] <jjast73> racerd: from a command shell type: touch
[05:37] <xangua> MaRk-I Zelozelosglipper sucks :S
[05:37] <Zelozelos> xangua, why?
[05:38] <jjast73> racerd: %> touch "filename"
[05:38] <racerd> sweet
[05:38] <jjast73> racerd: if using the guild file manager, just right click and choose create document
[05:39] <jjast73> racerd: if using the*
[05:39] <racerd> doesn't work for root
[05:39] <xangua> Zelozelos: because it's last version was released almost 3 years ago
[05:39] <jjast73> racerd: show me the command u ran
[05:39] <racerd> sudo touch 99-android.rules
[05:39] <MaRk-I> sebsebseb: ??
[05:39] <Zelozelos> xangua, well age does not = suckiness to me, any specific reasons?
[05:39] <jjast73> racerd: ok what dir are u in?
[05:39] <MaRk-I> dont PM me without asking me first thanks
[05:39] <Fraxtil> maco: unless I'm not seeing something, audio tag tool doesn't show nonstandard tags- just the usual ones, same as easytag for the most part.
[05:40] <racerd> /etc/udev/rules.d/
[05:40] <maco> Fraxtil: there should be a button to view all tags...
[05:40] <MaRk-I> sebsebseb: again DONT PM me without asking first, thanks
