[19:16] <BlueEagle> freze: First off, please mind your language. Secondly; If you press CTRL+ALT+F1 during the graphical install you should come to a text console. There you type the command "top" (without quotes). See if which processes are hoging processor power.

[19:17] <BlueEagle> freze: You may also use CTRL+ALT with the other function keys to watch the log. If your CD-Drive is misbehaving that will cause a lot of waiting and the appearance of a hang.

[19:39] <sascha_> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=ajPba7P7 any suggestions?
[19:39] <Trek> sascha_ you need to make the /home/sascha/lampp folder first
[19:39] <acicula> nocturnus, in reference to what?
[19:39] <Trek> sascha_ it won't make it automatically for you
[19:39] <sascha_> allright :)

[19:39] <nocturnus> acicula: in reference to the guides you are reading about the files you are trying to recover
[19:39] <acicula> nocturnus, maybe your confused, i do not need to recover data or pointers in techniques recovering data from disks
[19:39] <Trek> sascha_ go to /home/sascha/ and then run the command: mkdir lampp
[19:39] <ChogyDan> kunji: I meant red, and I also meant that that message doesn't mean anything
[19:40] <Trek> conb123: then i'm not sure what the issue is, perhaps the game requires you to have an nvidia card?
[19:40] <kunji> nocturnus: yeah, found some other main process numbers, but not 376
[19:40] <nocturnus> acicula: oh i meant to tell emp
[19:40] <ChogyDan> kunji: did you install a new kernel?  what exactly happens when you try to boot?
[19:40] <Losha> ChogyDan: actually, I thought 'read herring' was a great pun on ureadahead...
[19:40] <kunji> ChogyDan: yeah there was a new kernel in the update.
[19:41] <ChogyDan> Losha: ahahaha, so true!
[19:41] <acicula> kunji, if you cant boot the system use a recovery cd to get onto and into your system and try to finish the update, more then likely either the kernel or some other files/configuration are missing to boot properly, what does google say about the err message?

[19:43] <kunji> ChogyDan: when I try to boot it loads grub, I select the os, then it loads the usplash and part way to that it cuts to a black screen with that message and some more jargon.  I think there isn't a complete kernel since it froze partway through the update (I only have one kernel option in grub and it is the old one), I try finishing the update with the livecd, thanks I didn't know you could do updates to the main system that way.

[19:50] <Debijan> what do i have todo now, after the terminal said, that teamspeak 3 client has been uncompressed
[19:50] <Trek> thevishy: what version of ubuntu you using
[19:51] <acicula> thevishy, making a usb boot stick?
[19:51] <eirann> thevishy: all i know is you use netbootin to do it i think it's quit easy
[19:51] <thevishy> 9.10 karmic
[19:51] <Losha> _empemp_: what kind of filesystem>?
[19:51] <_empemp_> ext3
[19:51] <_empemp_> debian 5 lenny
[19:51] <thevishy> eirann, this is a standalone system
[19:51] <thevishy> acicula, yeah to install from USB instaed of a CD ROM as I dont have a blank cd now
[19:52] <acicula> nenico, what does it show up as?
[19:52] <shaullx1> who was helping me with my wireless kde issue?
[19:52] <acicula> thevishy, unetbootin is probably the easiest way to do that yeah, check the installfromusb linked here for you earlier
[19:53] <eirann> thevishy:  thats how much i know, you've lost me, do you mean only one o.s?
[19:53] <Stargaze> eirann, you can use netbootin for any OS
[19:53] <nenico> acicula: nenico@nenico-laptop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/aaa/ | mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist | nenico@nenico-laptop:~$
[19:54] <eirann> what does he mean by standalone?
[19:54] <Losha> _empemp_: you might try e2retrieve. I had good luck undeleting files with the commercial product EASUS but it costs money and runs only on windows...
[19:54] <fwaokda> I had install wubi ubuntu 9.10 but now I cant get into it... when i try for a split second I see this msg "Try(0,0) NTFS5:wubildr" and then it goes to a command prompt type thing.  Can someone help me fix it?
[19:54] <Stargaze> eirann, beside unetbootin, there's also FUSBI
[19:54] <acicula> nenico, means it doesnt exist
[19:54] <acicula> nenico, does sdc exist? is it partitioned?

[19:55] <Sir_Konrad> How do you get 3D Acceleration on an Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics card on Ubuntu 9.10?
[19:55] <nenico> acicula: but fdisk and cat /proc/partitions says other
[19:55] <acicula> nenico, output of file /dev/sdc1 in a console says?
[19:55] <hal> I imagine this has been asked a million times, so please forgive me, but why is the hoests file in ubuntu configured with <IP_ADDRESS>  servername  ?
[19:55] <hal> rather than the usual  <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:56] <acicula> hal, it points to localhost or?
[19:56] <nenico> acicula:  nenico@nenico-laptop:~$ /dev/sdc1 | bash: /dev/sdc1: No such file or directory | nenico@nenico-laptop:~$
[19:56] <acicula> nenico, prefix with file, so "file /dev/sdc1"
[19:56] <hal> acicula: no, the servername
[19:56] <acicula> hal servername of what?
[19:56] <christopherrodge> hello everyone
[19:57] <Nielsen> <IP_ADDRESS> is localhost, <IP_ADDRESS> is the hostname
[19:57] <Freze> Will trying the Alternate disk help on not showing the screen when i boot up from CD? It goes to a Linux Desktop instead of Install Window.
[19:57] <nenico> acicula:  nenico@nenico-laptop:~$ file /dev/sdc1 | /dev/sdc1: ERROR: cannot open `/dev/sdc1' (No such file or directory) | nenico@nenico-laptop:~$
[19:57] <Sir_Konrad> How do you get 3D Acceleration on an Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics card on Ubuntu 9.10?
[19:57] <Myrtti> Freze: that doesn't sound like alternate disk
[19:57] <dje__> close
[19:57] <acicula> nenico, then its not there, your assumption of it existing is incorrect
[19:57] <hal> Nielsen: but why not <IP_ADDRESS> for both.  This is a relatvely new thing - what is the advantage of doing this?
[19:58] <christopherrodge> i am trying to use these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick (for OS X) to create a live bootable USB flash drive. but after following the instructions the drive is not considered bootable. anyone else come across this problem? or have a solution? or an idea for a solution?
[19:58] <beddo_> t
[19:58] <nenico> acicula: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/kwc2GqRD
[19:58] <Nielsen> hal, i have no idea. I just like the fact that <IP_ADDRESS> is localhost, and not my box' name
[19:58] <Freze> Myrtti: I have tried the regluar download and booting it, But When i click "Install Ubuntu" It goes to load somethings and then it goes to a desktop? Like.. "Install Without CD"
[19:58] <xangua> christopherrodge: for osX¿¿ it only works with linux distros
[19:58] <sipior> hal: it's just a convention. the whole of <IP_ADDRESS>/8 is set aside for use as loopback addresses.
[19:58] <Sir_Konrad> christopherrodge: I'm having the exact same problem.
[19:58] <acicula> hal, http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+<IP_ADDRESS>
[19:59] <eirann> Stargaze: help me get the b43 driver sorted
[19:59] <Nielsen> hal, i changed it, so my box' name points to it's lan ip
[19:59] <acicula> first hit, read reply to question, has extensive explanation
[19:59] <Sir_Konrad> christopherrodge: so I'm trying the Fedora USB tool to see if that works.
[19:59] <christopherrodge> xangua: ? what does that mean? i can't use the netbook remix?
[19:59] <Stargaze> christopherrodge, try using FUSBI, that's Free USB Installer
[19:59] <Myrtti> Freze: well that's definitely not the alternate install disc
[19:59] <hal> acicula: there is no explanation there, just talk
[19:59] <Freze> Myrtti: Do you know what's causing it?
[19:59] <acicula> hal https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-August/120744.html
[19:59] <Myrtti> Freze: no.
[19:59] <duffydack><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[20:00] <christopherrodge> Sir_Konrad: there is a Fedors tool for OS X?
[20:00] <duffydack> that was for hal
[20:00] <Freze> Myrtti: Hmm.. Weird really..
[20:00] <darmster> what's with all the Fedora talk??
[20:00] <Sir_Konrad> christopherrodge: no, I have to do it on a Windows Machine.
[20:00] <christopherrodge> Stargaze: does that work in OS X? everyone i've seen has been for windows or linux

[20:01] <spokekiller> Hi, can someone tell me where to find the progress logs of a forced fsck, meaning when e.g. the mountcount has been reached. My Gnome's up, and I cannot see any output even on the other consoles...
[20:01] <ntsasng> acicula: i'm not spam
[20:01] <nenico> acicula: that disk works, on this computer, on wii, on windows... but after i disconet it, from ubuntu, and connect it back... then it stop working, on ubuntu
[20:01] <ChogyDan> Blackice115: I think it is called docky or awn
[20:01] <Stargaze> christopherrodge, i know it works on that Redmond OS, not certain about Mac
[20:01] <acicula> nenico, well its odd that it shows in fdisk but doesnt show up under /dev
[20:02] <ntsasng> can you help me this problem Unable to create ~/.gnome2 directory: No such file or directory Could not create per-user gnome configuration directory `/root/.gnome2/': No such file or directory
[20:02] <christopherrodge> any idea why the original instructions on the site don't work?

I want to have only the devices that belog in that subnet to get adresses from there....
[20:02] <aafuentes> ubuntuone doesnt load on startup, anybody knows how can i launch it?
[20:02] <Sir_Konrad> Blackice115: Avant Window Manager
[20:02] <christopherrodge> is there some flag i need to use during the copying to make the drive bootable?
[20:02] <Myrtti> ntsasng: you've enabled root account and now you're trying to login to the graphical environment with it?
[20:02] <sascha_> does LAMPP only run on /opt/lampp ?
[20:02] <acicula> nenico, does it show in fdisk -l now?
[20:02] <nenico> acicula: i know, restart HAL or UDEV not helping.. but restart ubuntu works
[20:02] <nocturnus> christopherrodge: using fdisk , press 'a' to set BOOTFLAG
[20:03] <Losha> hal: it's a great question. I see lots of discussion about it, but no actual explanation....
[20:03] <nenico> acicula: yes
[20:03] <Myrtti> !xampp | sascha_
[20:03] <Freze> My Install button on Graphic Installer will not work, Anyone know why? It goes to the Desktop without install like "Try Without Install" selection.
[20:03] <nocturnus> aafuentes: launch what?
[20:03] <Blackice115> Sir_Konrad: Thanks so much!
[20:03] <christopherrodge> nocturnus: thanks, i'll give it a try
[20:03] <acicula> nenico, idunno, usb based disks can be finicky sometimes, you could try running lsusb, that sometimes wakes up usb devices
[20:03] <aafuentes> ubuntu one applet nocturnus
[20:03] <Sir_Konrad> Blackice115: no prob, I used to use that app all the time. ;)
[20:03] <xorl> So I changed the user/group of apache2 problem being
[20:03] <xorl> when i start it, it doesn't respect it and one of the processes still starts with www-data
[20:03] <Freze> My Install button on Graphic Installer will not work, Anyone know why? It goes to the Desktop without install like "Try Without Install" selection.
[20:03] <spokekiller> ubuntu one seems broken in 9.04 when doing a fresh install
[20:04] <xorl> it's not defined ANYWHERE in the /etc/apache2 directory anymore either
[20:04] <nocturnus> aafuentes: Need more information about your problem
[20:04] <nenico> acicula: that disk is "awake" if i run fdisk, it spins up
[20:04] <plasmablast> xorl: did u try acls??
[20:04] <hal> thank you Losha - if I find the actual answer, I will tell you :)
[20:04] <Freze> My Install button on Graphic Installer will not work, Anyone know why? It goes to the Desktop without install like "Try Without Install" selection.
[20:04] <aafuentes> spokekiller, what do you mean by broken?
[20:04] <Myrtti> Freze: please have patience
[20:04] <acicula> nenico, just try it
[20:04] <sascha_> just this? "sudo tasksel install lamp-server" lol
[20:04] <sascha_> joking?
[20:04] <nenico> acicula: no change :(
[20:05] <Myrtti> sascha_: no, not really
[20:05] <Freze> Myrtti: I was told if i didn't get an answer quickly, I'd write it again.. :b
[20:05] <acicula> nenico, if you unplug it and plug it back in what does dmesg say
[20:05] <xorl> plasmablast: heh, of course
[20:05] <xorl> apache2 is owened by root/root
[20:05] <aafuentes> nocturnus, i have ubuntuone installed... its supposed to show an applet when installed, but it doesnt even show... i dont know the name to look for the process, but no process name even remotely like ubuntu one
[20:05] <spokekiller> well, recently I installed it from the website but had some problems so I removed it completely, then there was an update, and now the package does not contain the applet anymore. I checked the path and it's just gone
[20:05] <Myrtti> !repeat | Freze, surely not twice aminute!
[20:05] <janisozaur> bc outputs .64, how can I make it output 0.64?
[20:06] <nocturnus> aafuentes: maybe you can use the pkg manager to list all the files that were installed when ubuntu-one go tinstalled
[20:06] <Freze> Myrtti and ubottu: Sorry, I have searched, but no answer there..
[20:06] <nenico> acicula: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/3T70FZGC
[20:06] <mgj> When trying to mount a share in ubuntu on a win7 host, i get this: mount.vboxsf: mounting failed with the error: Protocol error. Any ideas? I have the guest addons installed
[20:07] <seana> Anyone have any issues with Ubuntu installer? I can't install 9.10 on a Toshiba Satellite Pro S500. I get debootstrap errors. I've tried burning multiple iso's from different machines, using the desktop and alternate installers, if they don't hang then I get a debootstrap error... The laptop is brand new.
[20:07] <acicula> nenico, hmm odd, it should create the sdc1 and sdc2 files if it detects them like that
[20:08] <spokekiller> can someone tell me where to find the progress logs of a forced fsck, meaning when e.g. the mountcount has been reached. My Gnome's up, and I cannot see any output even on the other consoles..
[20:08] <acicula> nenico, dunno :/
[20:08] <acicula> nenico, never had devices show up in dmesg but not in /dev before
[20:08] <nenico> acicula: i know, ut it behaves like windows
[20:08] <sascha_> seriously. i really like ubuntu. its not hard with the gnome gui. but setting up LAMP is too hard for a beginner to understand.
[20:08] <nenico> --but
[20:08] <sascha_> why is it not included in the standard apps?
[20:09] <aafuentes> ill look it up thanks nocturnus
[20:09] <acicula> sascha_, because lamp is not a desktop app nor meant for beginners
[20:09] <Slade-> hey my hosting provider only offers ubuntu 8.04 LTS, is it possible to do a post install upgrade to ubuntu 9.10?
[20:09] <acicula> !lamp | sascha_ look here for a guide on Lamp
[20:10] <Trek> Slade-: yes.  upgrade to 9.04, then upgrade to 9.10, there should be "Distribution Upgrade" button in synaptic
[20:10] <callaghan> mgj: look here http://vmetc.com/2008/08/06/virtualbox-shared-folders-protocol-error-in-ubuntu-guest/
[20:10] <annritawre> ciao
[20:10] <annritawre> !list
[20:10] <seana> Slade: You should be able to do a dist upgrade via command line.
[20:10] <Trek> Slade-, I don't recommend upgrading though, just do a clean install and back up the data you need first
[20:10] <OerHeks> Slade-, no, you have to update to 8.10 + 9.04 first
[20:10] <Slade-> Trek: i can't clean install they wont install anything except 8.04
[20:10] <Freze> My Install button on Graphic Installer will not work, Anyone know why? It goes to the Desktop without install like "Try Without Install" selection.
[20:11] <Trek> Slade-, what do you mean?
[20:11] <Trek> Slade-, you can't do it yourself?
[20:11] <Slade-> Trek: my dedicated server provider
[20:11] <acicula> Slade-, make a /boot partition, slam on that a netboot kernel+initrd and grub of whatever os you want to install
[20:11] <PyroPhelia> when I run -u on an archive will it delete fiels inside the archive that have been deleted from the original direcotry, or will it just add files to the archive?
[20:11] <Signal360> is there a command line editing program (i'm using ssh, so i need it)
[20:11] <Trek> Slade-, if they provide the server, you have to listen to them, you can't upgrade if they wont let you
[20:12] <acicula> Slade-, requires a remote terminal though to finish the install
[20:12] <Sioux-33> hi question. ubuntu 9.10 i want to update something let say compiz and its just example after update compiz doesn't work properly how can i go back with my update? is there any chance if for example application ver2.14 was updated to 2.15 and the 2.15 doesnt work how to go back to 2.14? ?
[20:12] <Slade-> Trek: eh after its installed i can do whatever i want.. its just they dont have 9.1 loaded into their system
[20:13] <seana> Slade: I would first make sure that you have all your data backed up and your not running any critical production items on the server. Then just ssh to the server and start the upgrade process.
[20:14] <mintux> I have a hard that when connect it  when ubuntu wants to boot splash screen disappeared and a lot of lines include ata3.00: status: {drdy err} with many numbers come up and continue . I went to windows and delete all partitions of that hard but my problem exists yet and I can't go to ubuntu
[20:14] <Trek> Slade-, do you have remote access?  or do you ssh in?  or is it just FTP space?
[20:14] <seana> Slade: sudo apt-get update then apt-get upgrade then apt-get -d dist-upgrade
[20:14] <Slade-> Trek: ssh in
[20:14] <Trek> Slade-, do you have sudo access on this server?
[20:14] <Slade-> root access. i think sudos installed
[20:15] <Slade-> its centos 5.4 right now.. which is pissing me off which is why i want ubuntu
[20:15] <Trek> Slade-, then you should be able to upgrade, but i don't know how that will work for you, especially if they say "We won't put 9.10 or anything other than what you've got onto the server"
[20:15] <c3l_> does anyone know if there is a way to send text messages through my computer, through my iphone?
[20:16] <c3l_> ...in ubuntu
[20:16] <acicula> Trek, ussually means this is the standard linux cd in the emulated cd drive , but yeah check your eula before switching the os
[20:16] <Trek> c3l_, what do you mean?  remote into your iPhone to send a text?  no it cant do that
[20:16] <Sir_Konrad> How do you get 3D Acceleration on an Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics card on Ubuntu 9.10?
[20:16] <Losha> Slade-: nothing wrong with 8.04. Why do you need to upgrade it?
[20:16] <c3l_> Trek, yeah something like that. I should probably go talk to the jailbreak community
[20:17] <acicula> Sir_Konrad, is it not working now? can you type glxinfo | grep DRI in a console?
[20:17] <jaycount> c3l_, why would you wanna do that? sounds like a big security risk...
[20:17] <Slade-> Losha: i've never used 8.04 first started on 9.1.. i'd be happier if my machines were the same :)
[20:17] <Trek> c3l_ there's no way to do that anyways, even with jailbreak
[20:17] <Slade-> they've got debian 5, which i guess is somewhat similar. but.. meh
[20:18] <Sioux-33> hi question. ubuntu 9.10 i want to update something let say compiz and its just example after update compiz doesn't work properly how can i go back with my update? is there any chance if for example application ver2.14 was updated to 2.15 and the 2.15 doesn't work how to go back to 2.14? ?
[20:18] <Losha> Slade-: fair enough, I should have said no compelling *technical* reason
[20:18] <c3l_> jaycount, security risk? just going through the usb cable, well im mostly at my computer, and im sending text messages for free to my friends. basically im just lazy and write faster on the pc =)
[20:18] <Sir_Konrad> acicula: did you tell me how to do it?
[20:18] <cike> Slade:you have to upgrade to 8.10 first than 9.04 and 9.10
[20:18] <jaycount> i thought you meant remotely via the network, etc
[20:18] <Sir_Konrad> acicula: can you tell me again, but I don't think my nick alert went off.
[20:19] <acicula> Sir_Konrad, is it not working now? can you type glxinfo | grep DRI in a console?
[20:19] <c3l_> Trek - Features of iPhone PC Suite 2.8 : [...]- Chat via SMS! - You can chat with your friends and family via the SMS online on your PC easily.[...]
[20:19] <Slade-> ah they use 8.04 cause they have LTS on it
[20:19] <jaycount> c3l_, sounds like you found your solution
[20:19] <Losha> Slade-: 3 upgrades, what could possible go wrong...?
[20:20] <fwaokda> is there a place i can go to get support for a wubi install?
[20:20] <c3l_> jaycount, yap, hopefully it runs on ubuntu, or at least through wine
[20:20] <Sir_Konrad> acicula: I'm rebooting into 9.10.
[20:21] <Sir_Konrad> just a sec.
[20:21] <NinoScript> do you know how to change the keyboard shortcuts of the terminal? like setting ^C to <super>C for example?

[20:28] <peque> hi all :). Is Ubuntu 10.04 beta-1 available? where can I download it? Thanks in advance
[20:29] <kacper> #ubuntu-pl
[20:29] <acicula> heu the fix for a not starting X server is not getting people to manually install nvidia drivers ensuring further hosing of their systems. just reconfigure xorg so that it uses the opensource defualt driver?

[20:32] <d4rkn3ss> i have a question: is there any alternate to tze adobe cs4 in ubuntu?
[20:32] <xorl> this is so frustrating
[20:32] <xorl> I can't get this thing to obey me at all
[20:32] <acicula> d4rkn3ss, the gimp maybe
[20:32] <acicula> (its a program)
[20:33] <acicula> !ask | xorl , try presenting your problem
[20:33] <bscape> what is the Mod key designated to the Fn key?
[20:33] <xorl> acicula: i did earlier
[20:33] <tieri> hello all
[20:33] <nocturnus> bscape: ?
[20:33] <mintux> Flare183:it's my output http://codepad.org/oOMsy8iY
[20:33] <xorl> I am not a goober.
[20:33] <mintux> I think its sdc
[20:33] <xorl> Or do I need a bot doc presented to me
[20:33] <d4rkn3ss> acicula, i know gimp and its a fantastic photoshop-alternate :) but i am searching for a alternate for more than only photoshop, e.g. for adobe flash maker
[20:33] <bscape> nocturnus: like, in lua the Window key is Mod4?  I don't know if I'm asking the right question..
[20:33] <xorl> Fricken apache2 keeps starting with www-data and I have TOLD it to start and run as a different user
[20:34] <acicula> d4rkn3ss, ow flash maker, dunno about that, if at all, since flash is proprieatary
[20:34] <nocturnus> bscape: you can use xev to find out
[20:34] <xorl> it starts off the root process, forks, first process is always www-data the rest of the processes are the ones I want them to be.
[20:34] <Flare183> mintux: Your third HD is failing
[20:34] <d4rkn3ss> acicula, k, thx 4 help :)
[20:34] <tommis> d4rkn3ss, you can greate simple flashs on oo.o impers
[20:34] <Flare183> mintux: It needs to be replaced or something.
[20:34] <mintux> Flare183: when I connected this hard while boot I've got a lot of ata3.00: status: { DRDY ERR } [ 1245.737332] ata3.00: error: { UNC }
[20:34] <acicula> d4rkn3ss, i very much doubt you will find an open source equivalent, but you could try running it via wine
[20:34] <bscape> nocturnus: oh cool, thanks!
[20:34] <tommis> *impress
[20:34] <tieri> does anyone know if there is some known issue whit auto login? I can't get it to work either in ubuntu or in xubuntu.
[20:34] <mintux> Flare183: means I can't use it ? and it damaged ?
[20:34] <d4rkn3ss> tommis, thx, i will try it
[20:34] <Flare183> mintux: That's the kernel telling you that the HD is dying/die.
[20:34] <acicula> d4rkn3ss, though id reccomend just ditching flash and vesting your efforrts in better technology
[20:34] <Flare183> mintux: Yes, exactly.

[20:35] <acicula> sascha_, you have no permissions to write into /opt
[20:35] <Flare183> mintux: I don't know how to do that in Linux either.
[20:35] <d4rkn3ss> acicula thats right, but i can make easy gif-animations with flash.. do u know an os-programm which can do this?
[20:35] <nocturnus> mintux: define low level format

[20:39] <airtonix> dibs_, use apt-cache to search for packages if you're not familiar with the proper package name. apt-cache search firefox

[20:40] <mintux> nocturnus: User instigated low-level formatting (LLF) of hard disks was common in the 1980s. Typically this involved setting up the MFM pattern on the disk, so that sectors of bytes could be successfully written to it. With the advent of RLL encoding, low-level formatting grew increasingly uncommon, and most modern hard disks are embedded systems, which are low-level formatted at the factory with the physical geometry dimensions and thus not subject to use

[20:41] <tieri> So no one have had any problems whit auto login after updating?   I'm sitting on my dad's lap right now.
[20:44] <tieri> nocturnus: I am trying to set up a home NAS server. And can't get auto login to work. It works fine after install, but when I updated my distro it gives me the login screen again. Even the auto login is enablet
[20:44] <jaraco> In the past, I've sourced the /etc/init.d/tomcat6 script to determine the locations used by TOMCAT. In the Ubuntu package, this script ends with "exit 0" so I can't source it. Is there any reason to think I couldn't just remove that line?
[20:45] <nocturnus> tieri: Hmm ...
[20:45] <s4aluck> dibs_: I think this is better because it alway updates to the newest version of firefox or thunderbird
[20:45] <airtonix> tieri, why does a NAS need a gui ?
[20:45] <socket_77> dibs_: try sudo aptitude upgrade
[20:45] <tieri> nocturnus: Tryed whit ubuntu 9.10 and xubuntu 9.10
[20:45] <zcat[1]> tieri:  you realise you do not need to login, or even have a GUI, on a NAS server?
[20:45] <dibs_> s4aluck: ok will try install, but I bet I still get the same bs errors
[20:45] <s4aluck> dibs_: i mean is better to use ubuntuzilla
[20:45] <dibs_> k cheers
[20:45] <airtonix> s4aluck, explain the logic behind that
[20:45] <nocturnus> tieri: How did you set up autologin in the first place?
[20:46] <tieri> airtonix: because I am new to linux and i find some things easyer to config whit gui
[20:46] <s4aluck> dibs_: no way, no reason to have problems
[20:46] <airtonix> s4aluck, explain the logic behind that
[20:46] <tieri> nocturnus: from applications->system->login screen
[20:47] <s4aluck> airtonix: http://www.techdrivein.com/2010/02/ubuntuzilla-repository-makes-firefox-36.html read the coments
[20:47] <Freze> Hahahahahahha
[20:47] <ePax> Is it possible to link some commands outside of root?
[20:47] <nocturnus> tieri: try unsetting it and then re-setting it
[20:47] <Freze> Woops.. Wrong copypaste.
[20:47] <nocturnus> ePax: ?
[20:47] <airtonix> s4aluck, yes i saw the page and i dont see any reason to use it over the ppa.
[20:47] <ePax> i mean outside of chroot
[20:47] <ePax> meen*
[20:47] <tieri> nocturnus: all ready tryed it.
[20:47] <airtonix> s4aluck, its also not for karmic.
[20:48] <nocturnus> ePax: link how?
[20:48] <nocturnus> guntbert: are you obese, by any chance?
[20:48] <ePax> nocturnus: with soft link
[20:48] <nocturnus> ePax: sure just mount the location
[20:48] <s4aluck> airtonix: cause when new version comes you have again to look for ppa but ubuntuzulla aotomaticaly upgrade it
[20:48] <nocturnus> tieri: how does the .xinitrc look like in ~
[20:49] <airtonix> s4aluck, dibs_ https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-daily/+archive/ppa
[20:49] <nocturnus> ~ is the home directory of the user you are logging in from
[20:49] <tieri> nocturnus: I will check. What should I be looking for? I am quite noob whit linux
[20:49] <airtonix> s4aluck, looks like that one ppa holds many versions
[20:50] <nocturnus> tieri: Perhaps if you xdm is missing there ...
[20:50] <CyberSix> nelieee12 is spamming
[20:50] <tieri> nocturnus: Ill check.
[20:51] <s4aluck> airtonix: yeah, it depends on your test which to take
[20:51] <LinuxGuy2009> Are there any Ubuntu apps that can embed cover art picture into an MP4 video file? I need this for my new WD TV.
[20:52] <lxsysweb_pc3> Metacity is nomming my cpus, and it won't die. What should I do???
[20:52] <airtonix> s4aluck, to be honest that script looks complicated too
[20:52] <airtonix> lxsysweb_pc3, sudo killall metacity -9
[20:52] <dibs_> ahhhh WTF 99% [Connecting to packages.freecontrib.org (<IP_ADDRESS>)]
[20:52] <ikonia> dibs_: control your language please.
[20:52] <nocturnus> LinuxGuy2009: you can check with lsof
[20:53] <nocturnus> ikonia: you filled in the blanks
[20:53] <ikonia> what ?
[20:53] <nocturnus> Pardon me?
[20:53] <lxsysweb_pc3> airtonix, thanks!
[20:53] <dibs_> ikonia: sorry, I just want to get rid of all these errors, driving me crazt
[20:53] <dibs_> *crazy
[20:53] <LinuxGuy2009> nocturnus: What is lsof?
[20:53] <ikonia> dibs_: understandable, no problem
[20:53] <airtonix> lxsysweb_pc3, it worked?
[20:54] <nocturnus> LinuxGuy2009: Its like a soft sofa, made of sponge
[20:54] <dibs_> install wtf and then try wtf is lsof
[20:54] <ikonia> nocturnus: stop with the stupid comments,
[20:54] <ikonia> dibs_: I've told you about your language - last warning
[20:54] <dibs_> it's a legitimate app
[20:54] <nocturnus> LinuxGuy2009: try running lsof |grep binary_name , where binary_name is the name of the program you're looking for
[20:54] <ikonia> dibs_: I know
[20:54] <s4aluck> airtonix: http://paste.ubuntu.com/397454/ read it
[20:54] <dibs_> then why are you giving me petty greif about it
[20:54] <LinuxGuy2009> nocturnus: I dont know the name of the app im looking for.
[20:55] <nocturnus> LinuxGuy2009: oh ..
[20:55] <dibs_> are we only allowed to speak of ikonia sanctioned apps?
[20:55] <nocturnus> LinuxGuy2009: well then how do you know what you're looking for?
[20:55] <ikonia> dibs_: a.) it's it really the tool to use (man is fine) b.) after I've just asked you to control your langauge, is it wise to push that applicaiton over others
[20:55] <nmvictor> is their a way to customize mocp in ubuntu?
[20:55] <datadigger> LinuxGuy2009: lsof = list open files
[20:55] <LinuxGuy2009> nocturnus: I need something that can embed cover art into an MP4 video. Its not hard.
[20:55] <nocturnus> datadigger: not only open files
[20:56] <nocturnus> LinuxGuy2009: i don't know of an app
[20:56] <nocturnus> LinuxGuy2009: google for a tutorial
[20:56] <LinuxGuy2009> datadigger: How would listing open files help with cover art in an MP4?
[20:56] <datadigger> nocturnus: I know. Just trying to make LinuxGuy2009 curious enough to read the man page ;)
[20:56] <airtonix> s4aluck, note the "daily" on that ppa. and if i have to start using more than one program to update my software ill go back to using windows.
 nocturnus: What is lsof?
[20:56] <nocturnus> datadigger: He doesn't seem to be interested in foam sofas.
[20:57] <ikonia> nocturnus: last warning about the offtopic comments
[20:57] <LinuxGuy2009> datadigger: Your about worthless too. Please stop trying.
[20:57] <nocturnus> ikonia: excuse me?
[20:57] <ikonia> nocturnus: lsof is nothing to do with sofas - so please stop referncing it to people,
[20:57] <airtonix> LinuxGuy2009, did you mean mp4 video or just audio file ?
[20:57] <nocturnus> ikonia: I was trying to entice him to look it up himself, kind of like datadigger  did
[20:57] <TTilus> no humor allowed
[20:58] <ikonia> nocturnus: just help him, referncing sofa's isn't helpful
[20:58] <s4aluck> airtonix: no, you will recieve a notice and if you like to upgrade it  you have to open the terminal as usual
[20:58] <nocturnus> That's proposterous I see humour all the time here, its just not as creative as my puns
[20:58] <LinuxGuy2009> airtonix: Yes MP4 video. I already use EasyTag-AAC for aac audio.
[20:58] <nocturnus> ikonia: I don't think anyone was referencing sofas here ...
[20:58] <ikonia> nocturnus: you did - please stop
[20:59] <airtonix> s4aluck, and to be honest why should i start having seperate update managers for just one program? counter productive.
[20:59] <airtonix> LinuxGuy2009, ok.
[20:59] <nocturnus> ikonia: I honestly don't know anything about soft spongy sofas
[20:59] <janjok> Hi is this appropriate channel fro questions regarding lucid?

[20:59] <janjok> ty
[21:00] <airtonix> LinuxGuy2009, and you want the cover image to be a part of the mp4 binary ?
[21:00]  * TTilus likes sofas
[21:00] <ikonia> TTilus: stop please
[21:00] <LinuxGuy2009> airtonix: Yeah that would be great.
[21:00] <dibs_> ikonia http://pastie.org/876150 you want me to control language, then please make this work for me
[21:00] <ikonia> dibs_: control your language if it works or not, but let's check the problem
[21:01] <s4aluck> airtonix: it's up to you. if you think tha ppa install to you is better than ubuntuzulla do your way
[21:01] <dibs_> ikonia deal
[21:01] <ikonia> dibs_: it looks like you're 3rd party repo is dead
[21:01] <dibs_> Appreciated eh, i have been trying to get help for this for months
[21:01] <ikonia> dibs_: I'm assuming packages.freecontrib.org  is a 3rd party repo
[21:02] <dibs_> ok so how can I remove it? also the NZ repos seem to fail but i caan't see them in my sources dialogue
[21:02] <airtonix> LinuxGuy2009, just a long shot here : but have you tried handbrake?
[21:02] <s4aluck> airtonix: I prefer the ubuntuzilla way that's all
[21:02] <ikonia> dibs_: you can use the software sources tool, or just remove them from /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:02] <dibs_> I turned it off in sources but it doesn't seem to have worked
[21:02] <inertial> how do I add the debian unstable repository if I'm using ubuntu?
[21:02] <ikonia> dibs_: ahh hang on, look in /etc/apt/sources.d (check that path) for individual repo files
[21:03] <phrix> hi all... I cant share folder, it said you might not have pernission to use the network resource. The specified network name is no longer available... I'm running karmic... this is my samba.conf, http://pastebin.com/XRJJrPhS... any clue...??
[21:03] <LinuxGuy2009> airtonix: Yes I love handbrake its awesome. Ripping all my DVDs with it for the WD TV. Just wish I could embed the cover with it. HandBrake 0.9.4 font do it as far as I have ever seen.
[21:03] <airtonix> s4aluck, thats nice but when you are offering help to novices, its generally best to provide methods that conform the standard system of installing and updating software.
[21:03] <Stargaze> MiShary, please do not spam

[21:04] <psion> so, I'm using ubuntu netbook remix and I added a program to the internet panel (facebook in chromium's app mode). I updated the icon, but when I favorite the app, the icon reverts back to the regular app launcher icon
[21:04] <airtonix> LinuxGuy2009, i use moovidia and i just assume it keeps the coverart for my movies as a seperate image after grabbing it from some where like imdb...

[21:05] <infestor>  if i remove it will grub know that there is a  win 7 installation?
[21:06]  * infestor ?
[21:06] <LinuxGuy2009> airtonix: Yeah. The WD TV can work that way too, seperate jpg (i hate lossy images) same name as MP4 in the same folder. Would have been a lot cleaner with it embeded though. I scanned all my covers already.
[21:06] <airtonix> LinuxGuy2009, maybe ffmpeg can do this ?
[21:06] <LinuxGuy2009> airtonix: hmm I can check. That would be on the command line right?
[21:07] <callaghan> glaksmono: which version of virtualbox are you using? it works fine for me with 3.1.4 without editing xorg.conf
[21:07] <ikonia> dibs_: check in /etc/apt/sources.d
[21:07] <charles_b> I want to install a snapshot of JDK 7 (under ubuntu, obviously) for a program I am writing. Should
[21:07] <charles_b> I download a JDK file or a JRE jar file?
[21:08] <charles_b> This may be more of a Java question than an Ubuntu question....but if anybody could tell me the difference, that would be great.
[21:08] <charles_b> The JDK file is a binary and
[21:08] <charles_b> the JRE file is a .jar
[21:08] <dibs_> ikonia nothing in sources.d
[21:08] <callaghan> charles_b: jdk = java development kit, jre = java runtime environment
[21:08] <inertial> if I want to install some package which is only on debian unstable how do i do that?
[21:08] <ikonia> dibs_: can you pastebin ls -la /etc/apt for me please I've not got an ubuntu box to hand at the moment
[21:09] <charles_b> Ah
[21:09] <airtonix> LinuxGuy2009, found this : http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=62723
[21:09] <charles_b> I ought to go with the JDK then.
[21:09] <guntbert> charles_b: I don't know - but jdk=jave development kit  and jre=jave runtime environment (maybe that helps to decide)
[21:09] <jaraco> charles_b: Since you're developing, you probably want the JDK.
[21:09] <guntbert> *java
[21:09] <airtonix> LinuxGuy2009, check out #8
[21:10] <glaksmono> callaghan
[21:10] <glaksmono> callaghan: i'm using the latest version.. how do you do that?
[21:10] <callaghan> charles_b: the jdk helps when you are developing the application, so i suggest you use that one
[21:10] <jaraco> charles_b: Why it appears to be a different format than the JRE is somewhat strange - if you've only got a .JAR file, that's not enough to run JAVA, as it requires JAVA.
[21:10] <agike> agike
[21:10] <airtonix> LinuxGuy2009, so it seems that even if you do get the cover image embedded, that only certain players will acknowledge it
[21:10] <charles_b> Well, I can download
[21:11] <biborn> salam semua...
[21:11] <dibs_> ikonia http://pastie.org/876171
[21:11] <ikonia> thanks
[21:11] <charles_b> I can download a "self extracting JDK file" (which is a .bin) or a "self extracting JRE Jar file" (which is a .jar)
[21:11] <Ashfire908> In Kate, when I open the terminal widget, the bottom stretches out to fit the terminal, but no terminal appears.
[21:11] <glaksmono> callaghan: it's still couldn't be as high resolution as the host OS :(
[21:11] <tharkun> Is there a program in ubuntu that works with polar watches?
[21:11] <LinuxGuy2009> airtonix: Right exactly. The WD TV comes with a sample media CD with MP4 videos that show covers on the WD TV. So I know it supports it. But yeah good point.
[21:12] <charles_b> I intuitively thought to go with the JDK .bin file, since I'm using the JDK, but I wanted to double check.
[21:12] <charles_b> Thanks again.
[21:12] <callaghan> glaksmono: i just boot up the vm, give me a sec
[21:12] <glaksmono> callaghan: alright :)
[21:12] <Ashfire908> Never mind, just needed to install Konsole.
[21:12] <BrixSat> i dont have sound on my ubuntu, and my windowz system is not detected
[21:13] <ikonia> dibs_: not quite what I was expecting, can you pastebin your current sources.list please
[21:13] <airtonix> LinuxGuy2009, ok i think the keyword you're looking for to narrow this down is "udta atom"
[21:13] <airtonix> LinuxGuy2009, http://www.sharewareguide.net/article/Tip/mpeg-4(mp4)--how-tos.html#mp4howto4
[21:13] <s4aluck> airtonix: i think that you are trying to teach the novices the laziest way or the "windows" way to deal with the software for linux, uh?
[21:14] <LinuxGuy2009> airtonix: Trying out AtomicParsley since its already in the repos. Might be what i need.
[21:14] <dibs_> ikonia sure gimme a sec
[21:14] <LinuxGuy2009> s4aluck: Please stop.
[21:15] <callaghan> glaksmono: when you enter fullscreen mode, does the resolution change? (fullscreen mode: host+f)
[21:15] <glaksmono> yes
[21:15] <glaksmono> i have it a bit higher now
[21:15] <dibs_> ikonia http://pastie.org/876178
[21:15] <glaksmono> 1360 x 768
[21:15] <Jon-> I am trying to get Pidgin to alert me VIA the built in message system or with the system tray icon (flashing). Any ideas? It seems to only like to use its system tray icon and when you tell it to never display, it doesn't give you any notification on new messages.
[21:15] <airtonix> LinuxGuy2009, http://atomicparsley.sourceforge.net/
[21:16] <airtonix> LinuxGuy2009, haha i jus found that
[21:16] <glaksmono> but the host resolution is 1600 x 1200
[21:16] <conb123> Anyone here use mupen64plus?
[21:16] <LinuxGuy2009> airtonix: Thank you so much for your help. AtomicParsley is made exactly for what I neeeded. You da man!!!
[21:16] <callaghan> glaksmono: you still have a black border in fullscreen mode?
[21:16] <glaksmono> callaghan: yep
[21:17] <Jon-> I am trying to get Pidgin to alert me VIA the built in message system or with the system tray icon (flashing). Any ideas? It seems to only like to use its system tray icon and when you tell it to never display, it doesn't give you any notification on new messages.
[21:18] <dibs_> switch to empathy
[21:18] <callaghan> glaksmono: make sure you have dkms installed so a kernel update doesn't kill your guest additions and reinstall them using sudo sh VBLinuxAdditions-x86.run (or AMD64)
[21:18] <LinuxGuy2009> airtonix: You dont happen to know off hand if jpg compression set at 100% quality is that still technically lossy or is it then lossless?
[21:18] <msandbu> hi guys, I have a fileserver running ubuntu thats connected to my TV, but I dont have a keyboard attached to it, so I have to SSH into the box, is there a command that I can run from ssh to start VLC or any media player on the TV?
[21:19] <airtonix> LinuxGuy2009, not sure but i dont think so
[21:19] <callaghan> glaksmono: if I turn off the additions, i have the exact same behaviour as you describe
[21:19] <digitalfiz> Jon-, there is a plugin for the build in ubuntu notification system in synaptic andi  wouldnt use empathy it sucks :P
[21:19] <LinuxGuy2009> airtonix: Ok thats what I figured. Thanks for your great help!
[21:19] <jrib> msandbu: set your DISPLAY variable appropriately and then run vlc
[21:20] <airtonix> digitalfiz, why is that ?
[21:20] <hiexpo> hello all my question is i have a ath 5007 wireless card built in my laptop and i bought a netgear wnda3100 usb wireless dongle after a little work i managed to find a river but now how do i enable it
[21:21] <agike> Hi, I am using ubuntu 9.10 with a 20" screen. I have edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf but keep getting 800x600 max resolution. It is capable of 1600x1200 .. I have pasted xorg.conf to http://pastebin.com/T89mccfZ and would appreciate any constructive comments.
[21:21] <glaksmono> callaghan: so what am i suppose to do to have the dkms installed? i'm new to linux
[21:21] <xorl> so anoying, I don't know WHERE apache is getting www-data for I have changed it in every file in /etc I could find envvars, you name it
[21:21] <xorl> one of the processes is STILL called www-data
[21:21] <digitalfiz> airstrike, just seems like a reattempt at pidgin only not as far along
[21:22] <callaghan> glaksmono: open up a terminal and type dkms and press enter, if it is installed no error message will appear :)
[21:22] <airtonix> hiexpo, have you read through the wifi docs on the ubuntu wiki? (shortcut enabling drivers in linux involves kernel modules, which are enabled with modprobe module-name)
[21:22] <airtonix> xorl, why are you trying to change the username for apache ?
[21:22] <xorl> airtonix: Security reasons.
[21:22] <glaksmono> callaghan: not installed, i do the sudo apt-get
[21:22] <hiexpo> airtonix, no i haven't
[21:23] <xorl> It's weird though
[21:23] <airtonix> !wifi | hiexpo
[21:23] <xorl> the core process runs as root, second proces comes up as www-data, third and forth, yeah, they're the user I defined
[21:23] <xorl> but WHY is www-data still being called
[21:23] <FloodBot4> xorl: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:23] <xorl> uhhh, I guess I type too fast for the bot haha
[21:24] <jrib> xorl: just don't press enter to break up a thought
[21:24] <ikonia> dibs_: you still there ?
[21:24] <airtonix> hiexpo, im not familiar with your particular wifi device, but i can tell you that the easiest way to get it working just to get simple network access would be to use the ndiswrapper method
[21:24] <guntbert> xorl: no, you press <enter> too often
[21:24] <xorl> guntbert: well that would be the same for most everyone in here :p all my statements were longer than anyone I seen except the bots
[21:24] <guntbert> xorl: sorry for the doublette :)
[21:25] <airtonix> xorl, see : !enter
[21:25] <xorl> airtonix: ...
[21:25] <xorl> You didn't just see the bot tell me that?
[21:25] <jrib> xorl: anyway, apache shouldn't be running as root...
[21:25] <xorl> jrib: It always starts a core process as root :P then forks off the rest of the processes as the proper user
[21:25] <jrib> xorl: yes, as it should
[21:26] <xorl> problem is, it's forking off as two users... Which is completely not what I am telling it to do and NOT defined anywhere.
[21:26] <jrib> xorl: oh, I thought you were trying to get it to run as root always
[21:26] <xorl> I have checked EVERY config file in /etc/apache2/ for www-data (it doesn't exist anymore)
[21:26] <xorl> I made sure of that.
[21:26] <xorl> yet, somehow one of the first forked processes is run as www-data, that is either a bug or just wrong somehow
[21:27] <Ramy>  i've a problem in ubuntu
[21:27] <Ramy> when i try to open it says
[21:27] <Ramy> mount /dev on /root/dev :failed
[21:27] <Ramy> mount /proc on /root/proc :failed
[21:27] <Ramy> ......
[21:27] <Ramy> and displays a command line
[21:27] <FloodBot4> Ramy: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:27] <jrib> xorl: what are you trying to accomplish?
[21:27] <xorl> jrib: Just as I said, just changing the user and the group of apache for security reasons.
[21:27] <xorl> So people can't guess user/group and try to do nasty stuff or attempt nasty stuff at least.
[21:28] <xorl> I changed User/Group to the specified user I wanted, changed it in envvars to the users I wanted, still, nothing.
[21:28] <digitalfiz> xomas, /etc/apache2/envvars is where that should be set
[21:28] <glaksmono> callaghan: it's even smaller now, i only have 800x600 max. I installed dkms using sudo apt-get, and reinstalled the VBoxLinuxAddition-86.run
[21:28] <xorl> digitalfiz: already did that.
[21:28] <jrib> xorl: what does "I changed User/Group" mean?
[21:28] <xorl> And I said that,.

[21:32] <PyroPhelia> what is the easist way to jail a user?
[21:32] <callaghan> glaksmono: try pressing host+a, does that make a difference?
[21:32] <jrib> xorl: well?
[21:32] <Trek> pytophelia: jail a user???
[21:32] <Trek> pyrophelia: jail a user???
[21:32] <terry_> Ramy: What are you trying to do?  Explain your situation, (ask questions and we answer as best we can).
[21:32] <glaksmono> no
[21:32] <PyroPhelia> Trek, chroot.  so they can't leave their home directory
[21:32] <glaksmono> callaghan: no
[21:32] <sascha_> anybody has expirience in php 5.3.1 and ubuntu?
[21:32] <Ramy> i'm sry
[21:33] <xorl> jrib: Means I forcefully went into the config bypassing envvars and changed it.
[21:33] <jrib> sascha_: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[21:33] <dibs_> ikonia help me ikonia, your my only hope
[21:33] <PyroPhelia> I don't care what they do in the home directory, I just don't want them to leave it
[21:33] <Trek> pytophelia: ah, thanks for the clarification, but sorry I cant help you ther
[21:33] <jrib> xorl: and then?
[21:33] <xorl> started apache, like a human
[21:33] <xorl> same issue.
[21:33] <callaghan> glaksmono: i take it that you have changed the xorg.conf yourself after installing the guest additions first?
[21:33] <jrib> xorl: did you stop apache first?  How are you starting it?
[21:34] <jrib> !who | xorl
[21:34] <terry_> Ramy: What is your native language?  (We can direct you to a different channel if you need us to.)
[21:34] <xorl> from the init script
[21:34] <jrib> xorl: and my first question?
[21:34] <guntbert> PyroPhelia: no regular user can write anything outside his home directory (except to /tmp)
[21:34] <Slade-> hmm apt-get dist-upgrade isnt working for me to upgrade for 8.04 LTS  do i need to do something fancy to make it work?
[21:34] <Ramy> *i can't open ubuntu *this mesage appears *mount /dev on /root/dev :failed
[21:34] <jrib> !upgrade | Slade-
[21:34] <xorl> Just trying to change the user/group apache runs as. That's it.
[21:34] <Slade-> jrib: thanks
[21:35] <jrib> xorl: did you stop apache first?
[21:35] <terry_> Ramy: Are you trying to read a Ubuntu CD?
[21:35] <xorl> jrib: I've made the changes, it doesn't exactly ignore them, it just does it wrong.
[21:35] <PyroPhelia> guntbert, I know.  but I don't want them to leave that directory.  Period.
[21:35] <xorl> jrib: of course i did, i'm not 2
[21:35] <glaksmono> callaghan: i haven't edited the xorg.conf, since I couldn't find it.. what i did was that i installed xdms (or whatever it was) that you said, then reinstalled the VBoxAdditions
[21:35] <xorl> jrib: I've been using apache for almost a decade, i've never ONCE encountered this issue.
[21:35] <terry_> Ramy: Are you wanting to install Ubuntu on your PC?
[21:35] <jrib> xorl: being sarcastic doesn't make people helping you enthusiastic about help you...
[21:35] <Ramy> no i've installed it
[21:35] <glaksmono> callaghan: am i suppose to install the VBOx first, then the xdms ?
[21:35] <xorl> jrib: That wasn't sarcasm.
[21:35] <Ramy> and i want to restore my data on it
[21:36] <airtonix> glaksmono, other way round, dkms then vbox
[21:36] <jrib> xorl: good luck with your issue
[21:36] <callaghan> glaksmono: no, dkms first, thats ok, let me check someting
[21:36] <guntbert> PyroPhelia: you *can* chroot them - but you would have to provide all binaries, libs,... within the chroot
[21:36] <xorl> Welp, time to hit up the mailing list and wait for the same exact answers.
[21:37] <glaksmono> airtonix, callaghan: that's exactly what I did
[21:38] <airtonix> glaksmono, am i right in assuming you had vbox installed previously before encountering the concept of dkms ?
[21:38] <glaksmono> airtonix: yes..
[21:39] <airtonix> glaksmono, ok so can i also assume you then uninstalled vbox then immediatly installed dkms without first restarting the system ?
[21:39] <lullabud> is there a distribution based on ubuntu that includes the non-free things like proprietary codecs?
[21:39] <glaksmono> airtonix: i didn't uninstall the vbox first :(
[21:39] <lullabud> ...out of the box, that is...
[21:39] <defn> try to keep it on topic please
[21:39] <airtonix> glaksmono, ah ok, because vbox installs kernel modules that dkms will want to handle, i suggest uninstalling vbox and restarting, then after login install dkms then virtualbox
[21:39] <PyroPhelia> guntbert, yea I know, that's what I want to do
[21:40] <lullabud> also, is there an ubuntu livecd that includes vim?  .oO( why on earth did they not include that.......? )
[21:40] <glaksmono> airtonix: ok let me try that, how do you uninstall? i forgot lol
[21:40] <NinoScript> I messed up something with xmodmap, is there anyway to reset my keyboard? :(
[21:40] <callaghan> airtonix: are you talking about virtualbox or the guest additions?
[21:40] <Ramy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/397477/
[21:40] <airtonix> glaksmono, sudo apt-get remove virtualbox (i think its virtualbox)
[21:41] <airtonix> callaghan, just virtualbox and the way dkms will handle it
[21:41] <glaksmono> it says virtualbox is not installed
[21:41] <callaghan> airtonix: glaksmono has ubuntu as a guest system
[21:41] <Ganymede> hey, i was wondering, i'm trying to set up a home router on a 1 GB compact flash card using one of those CF card to IDE converters from eBay, but the size in fdisk -l keeps coming out to 32 MB. i'm pretty sure the CF card is 1 GB (i've had 1 GB of pictures on it before)...what should i be looking at to fix tihs?
[21:41] <majorastro> ok
[21:41] <airtonix> callaghan, ok, guest additions should be stored as a deb file somewhere in the system waiting for you to mount.
[21:42] <airtonix> callaghan, you / glaksmono
[21:42] <Trek> Ganymede: how did you format the flash card?
[21:42] <frikinz> PyroPhelia, how are your user logging into the machine?
[21:43] <lullabud> Ganymede: did you try writing zeros over the disk first?  sometimes partition tables get messed up and the only way to really fix them is to write zeros.
[21:43] <Ganymede> Trek, according to fdisk -l, it is a FAT16 volume that is greater than 32 MB.
[21:43] <airtonix> glaksmono, dpkg -l | grep virtualbox
[21:43] <Trek> Ganymede: you using a CLI interface or a GUI
[21:43] <Ganymede> Trek, CLI
[21:43] <callaghan> glaksmono: one last try: just try to change the size of the virtualbox window, that works for me, the guest additions automatically change the size of the guest...
[21:43] <Trek> Ganymede: and you're unable to reformat the device to take up the full gig?
[21:43] <Ganymede> lullabud, well i was hoping the dd the entire flash card before writing zeros to it...to see what pictures i can pull out using photorec, before installing linux onto it
[21:44] <airtonix> glaksmono, callaghan so you already have the guest additions for ubuntu mounted then ?
[21:44] <Ganymede> Trek, see above ^^
[21:44] <glaksmono> airtonix: it doesn't return anything
[21:44] <datadigger> glaksmono: /join #vbox  (although it is rather quiet at the moment)
[21:44] <majorastro> ok
[21:44] <glaksmono> datadigger: done
[21:45] <lullabud> Ganymede: what's preventing you from running dd to dump the whole card?  also, have you tried putting it in a camera or something else to see what size is reported?
[21:45] <glaksmono> callaghan: so what are you suggesting? :-?
[21:45] <callaghan> airtonix: he installed dkms, and then the guest additions again (using sudo sh ./VBoxLinuxAdditions-x86.run from the mounted cd)
[21:45] <Ganymede> lullabud, dd stops after copying 32 MB because it thinks it's at the end of the card...
[21:45] <lullabud> Ganymede: try using dcfldd, it's got additional features that help when disks are messed up.
[21:46] <Ganymede> lullabud, thanks, i'll look into it
[21:46] <PyroPhelia> frinkinz, sftp
[21:46] <callaghan> glaksmono: if the guest additions are correctly installed (mouse pointer integration works) then just unmaximize the window and maximize it again, that does the trick for me
[21:47] <airtonix> callaghan, ok ( i do remember that guest additions with ubuntu as the guest was not so simple, i do however have virtualboz 3.1 and a 9.10 iso here so i should test it out)
[21:47] <blaine00> Hello everyone!
[21:48] <callaghan> glaksmono: and make sure that machine/auto resize guest display is checked
[21:50] <callaghan> airtonix: yeah me too, vbox 3.1.4, ubuntu 9.10 as a guest, installed dkms, then the additions, works fine for me...
[21:50] <Trek> how can I turn off IPv6 on my ubuntu system?
[21:50] <airtonix> Trek, why would you want to ?
[21:50] <Trek> airtonix: my ISPs dont like ipv6, it causes conflicts
[21:51] <airtonix> Trek, first guess is that it would involve lots of recompiling
[21:51] <syrius> google.com is the domain name is that what it is called and then its digits are called ip addresses I know that
[21:51] <syrius> but what is the technical name for the address?
[21:52] <airtonix> syrius, hostname or fully qualified domain name
[21:52] <frikinz> PyroPhelia, a few years ago, you needed to change the home user to /home/user/./ in /etc/password to tell openssh to chroot the user. that's the first step. then ldd is your friend. I used this for full ssh. for sftp _only_ you can look here http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/94
[21:52] <syrius> like what about addresses like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>that might not be the ip in there when you do a lookup
[21:52] <nightsjammies> quick question...how do I share folders/ files between my system and virtualbox?
[21:52] <airtonix> syrius, sorry your talking about the ip address ?
[21:52] <Ganymede> lullabud, i should point out that the OS only sees 32 MB of the CF Card: http://pastebin.com/1mKJ7gj5 should i just ask dcfldd to keep copying past the end of /dev/sda by using a bs and count that have a product greater than 32 MB?
[21:52] <airtonix> syrius, that example is just a URI
[21:52] <syrius> no I am talking about the address that when you do a lookup he becomes an ip airtonix
[21:53] <z0man> How do I view my ipod videos on an Ubuntu 9.10?
[21:53] <airtonix> z0man, i think totem or banshee have a plugin to let you do this
[21:53] <syrius> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras z0man
[21:53] <nightsjammies> vbox z0man..
[21:53] <nightsjammies> Or that..
[21:53] <z0man> is vbox virtualbox?
[21:54] <syrius> z0man, it might not work though if they are DRM encrypted
[21:54] <z0man> aw ok thanks soo much
[21:54] <airtonix> nightsjammies, 1) power down the guest 2) edit the settings 3) shared folders 4) add a folder
[21:54] <nightsjammies> ahh...okay.
[21:54] <z0man> I give them a try
[21:54] <Ganymede> nightsjammies, 1. you may use the built in shared folders feature, 2. you may put it in bridged networking mode and use NFS, SSHFS, CIFS, or something like that
[21:54] <airtonix> nightsjammies, 2) edit as in edit the guest settings
[21:54] <lullabud> Ganymede: that is interesting... You can try the dclfdd idea, worst that can happen is that it fails again.
[21:54] <syrius> if you don't care about proprietary software you can use the win32 codes on mplayer and put them in /usr/lib/win32 z0man
[21:54] <syrius> I think those codecs only work with mplayer
[21:54] <syrius> but I am not sure
[21:55] <syrius> I have tried them out
[21:55] <Ganymede> lullabud, disk identifier is of zeros is a bit weird too, usually, the disk identifier is some random string of hex
[21:55] <syrius> it allowed me to play drm protected films
[21:55] <nightsjammies> um, nfs, sshfs, cifs?
[21:55] <z0man> aw ok
[21:55] <z0man> thanks syruis
[21:55] <syrius> decompress them
[21:55] <blaine00> I have an issue with one of those terrible bcm43xx drivers... during a live boot of 9.10 on a HP laptop, the restricted hardware manager actually automatically detects it and gives me the option to use it. After installing 9.10, it no longer auto-detects it. I'm guessing the CD has drivers that aren't installed... any ideas on how to use the CD to install the driver?
[21:56] <airtonix> blaine00, give output of : lspci | grep broadcom
[21:56] <airtonix> blaine00, i mean give output of : lspci -nn | grep broadcom
[21:56] <frikinz> PyroPhelia, I just checked on ubuntu karmic, it does not work. it has changed..
[21:56] <blaine00> okay... one moment while I pull it up
[21:57] <airtonix> blaine00, also what hp laptop ?
[21:57] <Ganymede> lullabud, yep, dfcldd without any special options still gives me a 32 MB image dump...maybe i have no choice but to zero out the drive and then hope the OS picks up more than 32 MB? will i be able to "rescan" the drive after zeroing it out? rebooting would be a bit inconvenient now
[21:57] <lullabud> Ganymede: i have a usb key here that has the same identifier
[21:57] <LateralForce> is there any way to make ubuntu not go into suspend when certain apps are running?
[21:57] <blaine00> it is a ze2000
[21:58] <wladek> welcome
[21:58] <wladek> :)
[21:58] <wladek> GKS KATOWICE HOOLIGANS
[21:58] <lullabud> Ganymede: what you could do is zero out the first few mb, then try again...
[21:58] <FloodBot4> wladek: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:58] <lullabud> Ganymede: or zero out the first 32gb, and then just use that.  if it can't see past that it can't write to it, so that data is theoretically safe... though, i can't be sure that's how CF would treat it.
[21:58] <Ganymede> lullabud, first few megabytes tells the OS how big the sum of the partitions is or something, which is what Linux uses to GUESS the total disk size?
[21:59] <lullabud> Ganymede: there is space at the beginning of a disk that describes the partitions and stuff, so yeah, writing zeros to the beginning of the disk can clear up partition problems.
[21:59] <frikinz> PyroPhelia, ah yes I forgot it actually needs a patch.. http://chrootssh.sourceforge.net/ . As said it worked for me some years ago. Not sure if this is the simplest as you asked. As of today, maybe new methods.
[21:59] <emilia> hej
[21:59] <airtonix> LateralForce, yes and no. 1) best way is to create a python script that utilises dbus 2) but... it requires that the program in question already talks to dbus.
[22:00] <emilia> :)
[22:00] <airtonix> LateralForce, im not sure it will work but you could try using the gnome-appelt : caffine
[22:00] <lullabud> Ganymede: i actually don't think this is a problem that can be solved by writing zeros to the beginning of the disk... but hey, i surely don't know everything, and it's worth a shot.  you were going to do it anyway.
[22:00] <LateralForce> airtonix, ok, thanks ill check it out
[22:00] <emilia> Witam wszystkich
[22:00] <blaine00> the lspci command did nothing... was it "sudo lspci -nn | grep broadcom"?
[22:00] <outer_space> how did "workspace switcher" take everything I had in the right column, move it to left column, left column to center, and center to right?  It somehow switched them all over!
[22:00] <lullabud> Ganymede: actually, you could just go ahead and dump zeros over the first 32gb since you already have an image of that disk.

[22:02] <LateralForce> airtonix, i remember reading something about a script thats run before suspend. maybe i could use it to check for running apps and inhibit suspend
[22:03] <blaine00> I actually tried the b43-fwcutter as well...
[22:03] <BrixSat> i dont have sound on my ubuntu, and my windowz system is not detected
[22:03] <Ganymede> lullabud, nope...wrote zeroes all over the /dev/sda then did partprobe /dev/sda and it still thinks it's 32 MB... =(
[22:03] <blaine00> it is frustrating because the live boot detected it
[22:03] <lullabud> Ganymede: what does your digital camera tell you about it?
[22:03] <faron> anybody tell me how to find out about my graphics card ?
[22:04] <airtonix> LateralForce, could do but its messy and requires you to edit stuff  as root (so its not really going to be a scalable solution for userland) which is why i suggest you use dbus since you can inhibit suspend, screensaver and all kinds of things without being root or having to continuously poll a program to check for stuff.
[22:04] <lullabud> Ganymede: moreover, what does the card say on it?
[22:04] <airtonix> blaine00, yes sudo lspic (apologies)
[22:04] <z0man> I've installed  all this software and I still cannot see the ipod videos :(
[22:04] <blaine00> that is okay
[22:04] <Ganymede> lullabud, digital camera says it's about 936 MB (back when i used it in my digital camera) and the camera says, "Canon 1 GB" or something on it...i can't look at it now since it's inside the case
[22:04] <faron> hey there lullabud ! how ya dion today ?
[22:04] <arn0> open irc.labri.u-bordeaux.fr
[22:04] <z0man> I have tried using vbox with xp
[22:05] <z0man> do i need to use itunes?
[22:05] <Ganymede> lullabud, you think maybe i have to run some hdparm stuff on it and change it's ATA mode or something like that to see the remaining 1 GB?
[22:05] <Ganymede> it's actually a sandisk
[22:05] <airtonix> z0man, are they drm encrypted videos ?
[22:05] <z0man> I'm not sure
[22:05] <lullabud> what's up faron
[22:05] <airtonix> z0man, you might like to check out floola
[22:05] <z0man> they mp4
[22:05] <blaine00> "lspic" is not found...
[22:05] <airtonix> blaine00, lspci
[22:06] <Ganymede> lullabud, interestingly, it gets detected in dmseg as "SanDisk SDCFB-32", which is indeed a 32 MB compact flash card...but i'm sure this is the same card i've taken 1GB of pictures onto
[22:06] <blaine00> "sudo lspci -nn | grep broadcom" does nothing
[22:07] <faron> lullabud do you know anything about how I can find out info about the graphics card/driver on this system ?
[22:07] <nightsjammies> okay, quick question, where do I find that shared folder in vbox under xp?
[22:07] <LateralForce> airtonix, is caffeine equivalent to Power Manager Inhibit Applet?
[22:07] <lullabud> Ganymede: perhaps you had two cards and they got swapped?  perhaps a friend of yours swapped your cf card at a party when they had your camera?
[22:07] <airtonix> blaine00, ah ok it wants case sensitive words : sudo lspci -nn | grep Broadcom
[22:08] <Ganymede> lullabud, i do not own any 32 MB flash cards...and it did say 1 GB on the cover sticker when i put it in...but i suppose i have no choice now but to take a second look...
[22:08] <lullabud> faron: sudo lspci lists your devices, your video card would show up in there...
[22:08] <blaine00> aww, that was it!
[22:08] <Ganymede> lullabud, thanks, i'm gonna go try out this CF in my camera now
[22:08] <lullabud> faron: honestly i don't use ubuntu in GUI that much, so i'm not the best resource for video drivers.

[22:09] <Halabund> Hi!  Download speeds are noticeably slower in Ubuntu than in Windows XP here.  Any idea why that might be, and how I could fix it?  E.g. Dropbox downloads 2x-3x slower, dowloads using the browser are slower, etc.   (If it's relevant, I connect through a pptp vpn all the time.)
[22:09] <faron> well thanks anyway
[22:09] <lullabud> Ganymede: one time i bought a sdhc card and it said class 5, but when i put it in it was a class 3 =/
[22:09] <lullabud> Ganymede: but that was in vietnam...
[22:09] <Ganymede> lullabud, yep, this CF card came with a canon camera from B&H photo video, i'd be surprised if it was mis-represented in any way
[22:10] <blaine00> everyone seems to hate that BCM4318
[22:10] <airtonix> blaine00, ok but the pci id is what we were after : mine looks like : 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g [14e4:4315] (rev 01)   <<< see the [14e4:4315]
[22:10] <Halabund> I don't remember having this problem with Jaunty.  It only appeared in Karmic.
[22:11] <njbair> I am a long-time Desktop user, but new to Server. Why is sshd started and then restarted every time I boot?
[22:11] <blaine00> [14e4:4318] sorry, chatting from another computer
[22:11] <airtonix> blaine00, next thing you should try is the ndiswrapper method : 1) goto the HP website and click on support drivers etc 2) find the page for your exact latptop 3) download the windows xp drivers for the wifi card
[22:11] <lullabud> njbair: that would be a good question for #ubuntu-server
[22:11] <njbair> lullabud, thanks. sorry
[22:12] <raggiskula> Hi,
[22:13] <blaine00> I can try that... but is there any reason you could think of as to why it would auto-detect it from the live boot but will no longer detect it now that I have installed it?

[22:19] <CaneToad> I'm running Jaunty and just installed openldap (slapd package)....but in doing that, the entire /var/run directory was chowned to user openldap....that seems to be a bug... but easy to chown back to root.  Anyone got lucid running who could test? If you can reproduce, I'll raise a bug.
[22:19] <CalmvsKhaos> airtonix, thats a good idea, but i do have one partition thats on a external hdd that i could safely mount, it has nothing on it could i do that?
[22:20] <javi> ha vale que yo no lo sabia
[22:20] <airtonix> CalmvsKhaos, sure just add it to the shared folder list for that virtual machine.
[22:21] <zanberdo> Slart, reading  man pages, yes, but not exactly sure what it would be called...
[22:22] <CalmvsKhaos> ok airtonix

[22:26] <danopia> RaverWild, do acers have known wifi instability?
[22:26] <Typos_King> jhonnyboy:    what chipset is it?   broadcomm?
[22:27] <danopia> because mine is terrible on some networks
[22:27] <KB1JWQ> So how can I get my system to a state (CLI is fine) where I can install this driver?
[22:27] <javi> no entiendo ni papa
[22:27] <RaverWild> danopia looks so
[22:27] <danopia> RaverWild, any tips on making it more stable?
[22:27] <zanberdo> Typos_King, this is  a new request for me, so no, I'm not sure how I'd do this. I've used aptitude changelog mapserver-bin (mapserver-bin is the package in question) and I can see in the change log the version I need, but I have no clue if it's in the repo
[22:27] <danopia> at school i normally end up under win7 or with a patch cable
[22:27] <javi> quien sabe español que diga que si
[22:27] <Dan_E> Trek, where do i get that?
[22:28] <RaverWild> danopia if i has any idea i would make my connect now. my wifi works, but it dont want to connect to my wifi network. seems it does not accept my key
[22:28] <hmw> javi:  type     /join #ubuntu-es
[22:28] <danopia> RaverWild, for me it works but half the time it stops communicating and builds up a packet buffer
[22:28] <danopia> then after liek half a minute everything is transfered again and it works for 30 seconds
[22:28] <zanberdo> and when I attempt to install it using $ apt-get install mapserver-bin =5.0.3-2 I get "E: Couln't find package" so I'm guessing it's either not there or I'm doing it wrong
[22:29] <danopia> RaverWild, it gets extremely annoying so i use ethernet when possible, it happens under WEP at home but also on an unprotected network at school
[22:29] <danopia> and it's only sometimes
[22:29] <javi> me largo
[22:29] <RaverWild> danopia same here. yesterday i left it to download and went out. when i came back it disconnected from the home wifi network and since then it wont accept my password :(((((((((
[22:30] <danopia> RaverWild, sometimes it takes it an huor to fetch 5 new packages
[22:30] <RaverWild> danopia i have win xp on the same machine but what is the point of ubuntu then. this must be fixed
[22:30] <danopia> because it drops so often
[22:30] <obbo> switching between 2 lcd displays. booting with one connected is ok. booting with other connected messes up display settings. any way to not change display settings when booting?
[22:30] <Ramy> http://paste.ubuntu.com/397477/
[22:30] <zanberdo> using the -t options as specified in man for apt-get doesn't seem to do anything.
[22:30] <danopia> i have win7 with ubuntu installed via wubi
[22:30] <zanberdo> grr
[22:30] <callaghan> Javi: por favor, cambie a #ubuntu-es con el comando /join # ubuntu-es. i hope that is spanish :)
[22:30] <nibbler> RaverWild: did you try restarting the home-wifi?
[22:30] <hipitihop> I can't add users, I get "useradd: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later" caan someone help
[22:31] <Slart> zanberdo: -t option? not the apt-get install <somepackagename>=<version-number> ?
[22:31] <RaverWild> danopia Acer Aspire One laptop here. yes i did. i restarted the whole router and the laptop, tried win xp = no problem. back on ubuntu - problem
[22:31] <Debijan> Hi guys, i got a problem, when i boot my system i get graphic shit after the EEEBuntu logo, its a black screen with with shit ony it ( also some other colors ) but i cant detect anything on it >:(
[22:31] <zanberdo> Slart, as stated, when I use that syntax I get the error stating that the package could not be found... I'm trying -t to target the release I want
[22:32] <Typos_King> zanberdo:   the -t option requires you know the full filename of the .deb
[22:32] <danopia> my problem is only sporatic connection freezing and it's been occuring ever since i set up ubuntu on my acer aspire 5517
[22:32] <RaverWild> nibbler yes i did. both the laptop and the router. under win xp = no probs. back on ubuntu and still the same = have wifi but it does not accept my password
[22:32] <zanberdo> Slart, what I'm not able to figure out is how to determine which versions are available
[22:32] <Slart> zanberdo: they might remove packages from the repos when updated ones come in..
[22:32] <FloodBot2> !netsplit
[22:32] <danopia> other than that everything works nicely OOTB, even the webcam (but only gnome-sound-recorder can record audio reliably, which gets annoying at times)
[22:32] <nibbler> RaverWild: well, it wont help too much, but monitor /var/log/syslog while trying to connect....
[22:33] <obbo> what triggers display hardware and/or xorg config check during boot?
[22:34] <Slart> zanberdo: tried "apt-cache madison <packagename>" ?
[22:34] <Typos_King> obbo?
[22:35] <zanberdo> Slart, thank you, that returns the version I've been installing, so I guess that confirms what I have in the package.
[22:35] <Slart> zanberdo: I think that will return all available versions of a package.. if you only get one hit it might be the only version available
[22:36] <zanberdo> Slart, that being said it appears as though I'm sol and will have to build from source
[22:36] <ard1an> how can i add apache to home dir so i can have http://www.mysite.net/~user/
[22:37] <Slart> zanberdo: or try using the main repository.. perhaps it has more versions of the packages available than your local mirror
[22:37] <Typos_King> zanberdo:   you're on 9.1?   what ... version of mapserver-bin are you after?
[22:38] <zanberdo> Typos_King, the server is running 9.10. I'm looking for mapserver-bin 5.0.3-*
[22:40] <mdg2> hello
[22:40] <zanberdo> Typos_King, which is available to 9.04
[22:40] <zanberdo> Slart, I'm using the us.archive.ubuntu.com repo source
[22:40] <zanberdo> Slart, are you suggesting there is another source I should consider using?
[22:40] <hellz_bellz> HI
[22:41] <hmw> how can I move all files including hidden with 'mv' - neither man nor info mv won't tell me
[22:41] <Typos_King> zanberdo:    http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty-updates/mapserver-bin
[22:41] <Typos_King> right
[22:41] <Slart> zanberdo: I'm not sure where the main ubuntu repository is located..
[22:42] <Typos_King> zanberdo:    I'd try to check what depedencies the package needs and install manually
[22:42] <zanberdo> Typos_King, I'm thinking using the Jaunty repo on a Karmic install might be bad...
[22:43] <zanberdo> I think I can solve the problem by merely installing 9.04 (this wasn't my install, but a co-worker, so he get's to do the work)
[22:43] <zanberdo> thanks for the help
[22:43] <Typos_King> zanberdo:    ... depends  on the version, usually it'd say upon installation of the .deb
[22:44] <mdg2> hmw: are you moving a whole directory/
[22:44] <Typos_King> zanberdo:    something like that happened to me in karmic, with Quanta, but I usually keep the .deb downloaded, so, when I tried the install my version, it was already updated,   so I used my .deb files
[22:44] <Cynix01> an alle chans bin wieder da :Þ ^^
[22:45] <hmw> mdg2: i was trying to move the contents of a directory without removing the directory itself
[22:45] <LateralForce> i get this from apt-get "WARNING: The following packages cannot be authenticated!  mangler" safe to install?

[22:53] <parabola> can anyone help me? I'm brand new to this and have installed 9.10 on a new computer and want to install xp too but the cd won't boot
[22:54] <kaolbrec> parabola, when installing linux and windows side by side, it's best to install windows first, so as not to overwrite grub
[22:54] <Gnea> LateralForce: did you get that?
[22:54] <RaverWild> parabola if the cd wont boot, then you might look at your bios settings
[22:54] <parabola> i realised that afterwards! =/
[22:54] <tobier> quick question: I did an ubuntu minimal installation. I have gnome-power-manager but it doesn't react to my settings.. that is when I press the power button or close the laptop lid the computer doesnt suspend.. What packages do I need to get this working?
[22:55] <LateralForce> Gnea, nope. im in mangler asking about it now..

[22:57] <LateralForce> Gnea, thanks. its strang that it didnt give a warning when i installed before though..
[23:03] <svenbuntu> Hi - I have what I think is a basic question. I currently have two ubuntu versions installed on two separate partitions. I want to delete the ubuntu version on the primary partition (which is referred to as bootable) and install a version of windows. Not the question is: if I delete the primary partition, will grub2 still work?
[23:03] <jastor> svenbuntu: if you install windwos .. it will overwrite grub2
[23:03] <ikonia> svenbuntu: depends where your stage files are held
[23:03] <jastor> svenbuntu: but its basically just reinstalling grub
[23:03] <darolu> svenbuntu, you'll have to recover grub2 after you install windows anyways
[23:03] <svenbuntu> Ok, so windows will overwrite mbr. How do I re-install grub2?
[23:03] <svenbuntu> if I'm not in linux
[23:03] <tete> hi
[23:03] <svenbuntu> thanks for the quick answers by the way!
[23:03] <darolu> svenbuntu, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD
[23:03] <hmw> svenbuntu: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover%20Grub%202%20via%20LiveCD
[23:03] <jastor> on a server with nothing but root as login ... creating a user ... installing sudo ... disabling direct root access in teh sshd and restarting sshd .. is there something needed to be done before restarting sshd to allow the created user to su to root?
[23:03] <svenbuntu> darolu, hmw: thanks - that's brilliant!
[23:03] <Slart> jastor: running ubuntu?
[23:04] <jastor> Slart: well . no matter what dist ;) shouldnt it work on either or the majority of them? :)
[23:04] <Slart> jastor: I think you might be better off asking in ##linux
[23:05] <Slart> jastor: ubuntu comes with the root password disabled and we don't support setting one
[23:05] <jastor> Slart: i suppose :)
[23:05] <Slart> jastor: but the procedure should be the same on most distros... I suppose
[23:06] <jastor> Slart: besides .. ubuntu comes with the root password disabled? ;) not always
[23:07] <Slart> jastor: oh? the official versions do.. afaik at least
[23:07] <jastor> Slart: installing ubuntu server :) it asks if you want a "root user" .. or only allow antoher user to su to root
[23:07] <Slart> jastor: I suppose I shouldn't ask if you're sure about that.. I must have missed that when I installed it
[23:07] <jastor> Slart: the wording may be wrong .. but the first option anyway lets you login directly as root
[23:08] <heitor> hi everione
[23:08] <heitor> \#campos
[23:08] <jastor> Slart: were the second option disables direct root login and sets so that oyu can only su to root in able to access root
[23:08] <heitor> \ # campos
[23:08] <heitor> #campos
[23:08] <darolu> heitor /join
[23:09] <hmw> hey, I like Ubunut's Apache/PHP - It just executed my script in LESS than ZERO SECONDS. :)
[23:09] <psion> is there any way I can make it so that ubuntu doesn't ask for a password all the time? for example: I'm on a netbook, if I change the frequency scaling option, it asks me for my password
[23:09] <measme> !mark
[23:11] <RaverWild> please help: wifi problem "Failed to initiate AP scan". im trying to google for solution as well but if anyone could help...
[23:11] <Slart> jastor: trying the server install now in virtualbox =)
[23:11] <NoMS_> has anyone been able to get gnome-shell working?
[23:12] <tobier> quick question: I did an ubuntu minimal installation. I have gnome-power-manager but it doesn't react to my settings.. that is when I press the power button or close the laptop lid the computer doesnt suspend.. What packages do I need to get this working?
[23:12] <jastor> Slart: might have to enable "exprt mode" at boot (f6 or where it is)
[23:13] <Slart> jastor: yup.. did that
[23:13] <jastor> Slart: :)
[23:13] <mlee> hey all - is there a command line way to launch an app remotely in Ubuntu?
[23:14] <jastor> Slart: and the textbased installer (no idea if ubuntu server has a X/gui installer ;)
[23:14] <darolu> mlee, you can use ssh
[23:14] <Slart> jastor: if it has one I haven't seen it so far.. "install ubuntu" takes you to the text based install
[23:14] <PeterT> Netsplit split is net.
[23:14] <darolu> !ssh > mlee
[23:15] <invisibleman> Hey, I need a final say. Can I use my laptop as a wireless connection with ubuntu?
[23:16] <mlee> darolu: i'm logged in via ssh, just not sure how to launch the program
[23:16] <KushVapors> whats the recommended size for the / & /home partitions oujt of a 222gb hd?
[23:16] <Typos_King> mlee:   usuall you'd just type in the name of it :)
[23:16] <nishanth> nspluginwrapper bug left mouse button does not work is there  a way to fix it?
[23:16] <KushVapors> anyone?
[23:16] <Typos_King> mlee:   its executable that is
[23:18] <KushVapors> whats the recommended size for the / & /home partitions oujt of a 222gb hd?
[23:18] <seyacat> hola ubuntues
[23:18] <darolu> mlee, include -X to X11 forwarding
[23:18] <Blackice115> Is there a way to find out the exact location of an application on your harddisk?
[23:19] <emman> hi, need  help some with installing zoneminder on ubuntu
[23:19] <Slart> KushVapors: that would depend on what you're going to use the system for.. more than 20GB for / would probably be a waste.. even 20GB might be too much
[23:20] <seyacat> please a question
[23:20] <KushVapors> Slart: so what would u recommend?
[23:20] <seyacat> in console ctrl+z, bg, disown, i separate job from terminal, how can i make inverse on this
[23:21] <Slart> jastor: you were correct.. it asks if root will be allowed to login or not.. perhaps that's why we have #ubuntu-server ;)
[23:21] <mgolisch> seyacat: you cant
[23:21] <seyacat> :(
[23:21] <Slart> KushVapors: unless you know you'll be tight on space I would go with 20GB for / and the rest for home
[23:21] <emman> anybody know how to install zoneminder on ubuntu, for my webcam
[23:22] <KushVapors> Slart: isnt / where programs are installed
[23:22] <Slart> KushVapors: I use 15 GB and I only have one partition.. / and /home on the same disk
[23:22] <KushVapors> Slart: im also gonna use the comp for regular daily use
[23:22] <Blackice115> When you download applications with the Ubuntu Software Manager, where do they end up? I see them in applications but are they in a folder somewhere?
[23:22] <Typos_King> seyacat:   do a quick ->   ps -a;  and then a -> fg PROCESSNAME
[23:22] <seyacat> ty Typos_King il try noe
[23:23] <Slart> KushVapors: yes.. programs are install to /  or to /usr and subfolders like it
[23:23] <Slart> *installed
[23:23] <KushVapors> Slart: the disk never got filled? i do do some app exploring soo...
[23:23] <seyacat> emman: zoneminder support limited number of webcams
[23:23] <Typos_King> Blackice115:  why? :)
[23:24] <seyacat> emman: but you can put your webcam on mjpeg stream and call it whith ffmpeg
[23:24] <Slart> KushVapors: well.. I have 5 other drives where I put all my crap.. but I don't keep a very slim system.. I install all kinds of stuff
[23:24] <kryl> win 1
[23:24] <Typos_King> ?
[23:24] <seyacat> emman: i make it, use ffserver to make stream
[23:24] <Slart> KushVapors: but if it makes you feel better.. go with 30GB for / =)
[23:24] <hiexpo> ? how do i find out what chipset is in a wireless dongle
[23:24] <Blackice115> Typos_King: Well, I may be going about this the wrong way, but I downloaded an app through the center, and installed it. When I was done it didn't show up in my panel, so I went to go add it with the "edit Panel" and it needs me to point to it, but I don't know where it is.
[23:24] <emman> seyacat, have logitech 9000 pro which works with xatv
[23:24] <cellofellow> hiexpo: plug it in, run lsusb.
[23:25] <jastor> Slart: ;)
[23:25] <seyacat> emman: a lot of webcams works with xawt tv , but zoneminder works with speaciasl drivers
[23:26] <KushVapors> Slart: alright cool as long as my programs wont take up all the space in /
[23:26] <Typos_King> KushVapors:    I make a small amount, about 10gbs for /, though it uses   around 4gb right now.... have an extra partition(s)  where I dump videos/mp3s/docs/projects and such, when something may inadvertently happen, and I have to reinstall the OS, I just do it over a 10gbs system, rather than migrating all my stuff over before reinstalling, and then puttin them back
[23:26] <Typos_King> Blackice115:  which EXECUTABLENAME;   or whereis either
[23:27] <darolu> KushVapors, depends on your needs, but in my experience 8GiB for / is enough, 10GiB if you want to be safe, give all you want/can to your /home partition
[23:27] <darolu> Hey seyacat
[23:27] <jastor> gha :P
[23:27] <seyacat> hi darolu
[23:27] <emman> seyacat, i a newbie ,how do do stream you talked about
[23:27] <KushVapors> Typos_King: yea i kno i did that b4 on a diff comp and stoped makin /, /home partitions...then i learned my lesson
[23:28] <Blackice115> Typos_King: Ok, here is the thing, there are a few applications that I have downloaded and installed through the Free Software GUI and when I go to terminal and type executable name it says it's not found.
[23:28] <Typos_King> Blackice115:  what's the name of the app?
[23:28] <mgolisch>  /home on a seperate partition is great, not only can it be shared among different distros installed but you can just reinstall without loosing any of your files
[23:29] <mgolisch> Blackice115: probably its executable name is different from what you think
[23:29] <darolu_dan> mgolisch, + you keep your configs. intact
[23:29] <emman>  seyacat, sorry about typos ,you mentioned mjpeg etc how do i do this
[23:29] <mgolisch> dpkg -L packagename helps here
[23:29] <mgolisch> it dumps the complete filelist of the package
[23:29] <Blackice115> Typos_King: Well it has happened with a few. As far as games, Freedoom and FreeDM and then also I tried to use Global menu
[23:29] <cellofellow> Blackice115: what's the package name? If you know it, you can find out the package name by doing "dpkg -L | grep bin"
[23:29] <Slart> mgolisch: is sharing your /home between distros really a wise thing to do? won't differing versions of software mess up when they share configs?
[23:29] <seyacat> emman: im explain in private
[23:29] <cellofellow> Blackice115: dpkg -L packagename that is
[23:29] <ruge> Hey whats the app for RAR file access in Ubuntu?
[23:29] <Slart> !rar
[23:30] <ruge> ty
[23:30] <Typos_King> Blackice115:     try in the terminal using the autocomplete -> free<tab>
[23:30] <bobby__> Anyone know when the Beta 1 is being released?
[23:30] <darolu_dan> bobby__, today
[23:30] <cellofellow> Who uses rars when there's zip or 7zip available? :(
[23:30] <happyface> how big can a file be in linux/unix?
[23:31] <ruge> the files i download are in RAR
[23:31] <ruge> :/
[23:31] <bobby__> ... Specifically today?
[23:31] <Slart> happyface: depends on the file system
[23:31] <Blackice115> Typos_King: I'm wayyy out of my league here. I don't know what you mean by autocomplete and also when I try to open the games they open now but close the program when i try to play
[23:31] <cellofellow> happyface: depends on the file system. Terabytes on some.
[23:31] <darolu_dan> cellofellow, who uses 7zzip or zip when there is bzip and gzip? :p is a matter of taste
[23:31] <darolu_dan> happyface, depends on your filesystem
[23:31] <cellofellow> happyface: while on fat32, max is 4GB.
[23:31] <Typos_King> cellofellow:    .rar have a slightly better compression quite often as I've seen
[23:31] <mgolisch> Slart: yeah right, i dont use any desktop environment, only awesome as wm and mostly terminal based apps, never had much problems with that sort of stuff
[23:31] <Slart> happyface: if you look at ext3 on wikipedia.. or even the article about file systems it has a list of limits when it comes to filenames, file size and so on
[23:31] <seyacat> ruge, rar work perfect on ubuntu, waht is the problem?
[23:31] <mgolisch> :)
[23:31] <happyface> Slart: cellofellow: cellofellow: let's say a unix filesystem with 15 inode pointers-12 direct
[23:32] <mgolisch> seyacat: its not free software?
[23:32] <mgolisch> :)
[23:32] <seyacat> mgolisch: and?
[23:32] <Slart> mgolisch: ok.. good to know.. I haven't tried it myself as I've never run two linuxes on the same box.. thanks
[23:33] <Typos_King> Blackice115:     the most likely spot will be that the executable is at /usr/bin
[23:33] <Slart> happyface: I have no idea what that is supposed to mean..I barely know what an inode is..
[23:33] <Typos_King> Blackice115:     what's the name specifically of the app you're after anyway? freedom?
[23:33] <happyface> Slart: alright, i'm just talking about deep internals here
[23:34] <ruge> strange
[23:34] <Blackice115> Typos_King: Yes, that is one that will not work. I feel as though I'm completely confused as to what the problem is though. At first I could not find it, and now I can find it and start it but it won't play
[23:34] <Slart> happyface: here are the limits for ext3 though http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext3#Size_limits
[23:34] <ruge> its not extracting but saying it has
[23:34] <happyface> thanks
[23:34] <Slart> happyface: and here's the big table I was mentioning. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems
[23:34] <ruge> unrar-free is lying lmao
[23:34] <Typos_King> lol
[23:35] <happyface> thanks again Slart
[23:35] <Slart> happyface: you're welcome
[23:35] <Typos_King> ruge:    try installing Ark maybe or peazip
[23:35] <ruge> thx
