[08:43] <dr_willis> a lot of us just refuse to use wubi also. or have given up on it.
[08:43] <aaron32> Hnngg
[08:43] <gh0st1e> i run linux on a virtual machine in windows :D
[08:43] <aaron32> Well then
[08:43] <aaron32> No linux for me :c
[08:43] <dr_willis> i thought wubi had to install to c:
[08:43] <tensorpudding> aaron32, you never answered my question though
[08:43] <aaron32> Wait
[08:43] <gh0st1e> best of both worlds, play my games & be secure on the internets.
[08:43] <dr_willis> aaron32: use virtualbix
[08:43] <aaron32> Oh
[08:44] <aaron32> No, I do not have a drive named Q:
[08:44] <aaron32> And it seems to need it
[08:44] <tensorpudding> it must be confused somehow
[08:44] <aaron32> Wait a minute
[08:44] <aaron32> I -USED- To have a old HDD
[08:44] <aaron32> It was external
[08:44] <tensorpudding> hmm
[08:44] <aaron32> Not sure if it used Q: or not
[08:45] <tensorpudding> ah
[08:45] <tensorpudding> do you have a dell perchance
[08:45] <aaron32> Yes
[08:45] <dr_willis> q would be.. odd..
[08:45] <aaron32> Inspiron
[08:45] <tensorpudding> https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/862003
[08:45] <tensorpudding> this might be the problem
[08:45] <aaron32> I -do- Have microsoft office
[08:45] <tensorpudding> you do have a Q: but it's virtual, installed by dell
[08:46] <aaron32> Well shit.
[08:46] <tensorpudding> well
[08:46] <tensorpudding> the bug report makes it sound like installing from wubi.exe with the iso in the directory does not have this issue
[08:46] <RaTTuS> don't use wubi .... thats my advice
[08:47] <Nipqr> good morning/evening everyone, I come seeking help with resizing/moving partitions
[08:47] <aaron32> So, Use the ISO?
[08:47]  * RaTTuS shudders Nipqr
[08:47] <tensorpudding> i don't particularly understand how wubi is installed
[08:47] <aaron32> ubuntu folder in :c
[08:47] <aaron32> *:C\
[08:47] <RaTTuS> Nipqr - back everything up 1st as it's more than like going to trash somethign - unless it is the installer which is pretty good
[08:48] <tensorpudding> i assumed there was an .exe that downloaded files that were needed, and modified your bootloader using bcdedit
[08:48] <aaron32> bcd edit?
[08:48] <tensorpudding> never heard of this .tar.xz image thing
[08:48] <Qubika> Hello, i plug in a new android phone via USB and it is mounted as a PTP device (not storage drive) . It shows up under Nautilus . I would like to know which directory is it actuall mounted on the filesystem ? Putting my cursor over my device on the Nautilus tree view shows " gphoto2://[usb:002,013] "  . It's not mounted in my /media or /mnt directory.
[08:48] <dr_willis> m eithee
[08:48] <tensorpudding> bcdedit is a windows tool for changing your boot
[08:48] <aaron32> I think I saw a "bcdedit" thing
[08:48] <Nipqr> RaTTuS: I am attempting to back everything up over the network, but keep getting permission denied errors (I am currently booted from a live disk)
[08:49] <tensorpudding> aaron32, which instructions are you following
[08:49] <aaron32> Well
[08:49] <aaron32> I'll get the thing I am using
[08:49] <somsip> Qubika: sudo mount ?
[08:49] <dr_willis> Qubika: look in .gvfs and the webupd8 blog site had an artical on mountinng new android phones
[08:49] <RaTTuS> Nipqr - are teh permission errors on source or destination and how are you backup up ?
[08:49] <aaron32> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer
[08:50] <Qubika> it is already mounted and i can access all files in Nautilus. I just like to access it in the terminal but don't know which folder
[08:50] <aaron32> So, It -SHOULD- Work
[08:50] <Nipqr> RaTTuS: I am using live boot on the same machine I want to mess with partitions, trying to send everything over to a local server. so permissions on source
[08:50] <aaron32> But its not, Anyway, I'll try the ISO fix
[08:51] <tensorpudding> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_can_I_use_a_manually_downloaded_ISO.3F
[08:51] <faLUCE> briefly: how can I run a service in a chroot jail?
[08:51] <tensorpudding> i think that is what they mean
[08:51] <aaron32> Wait, 64 bit or 32?
[08:51] <aaron32> I have a 64 bit computer.
[08:51] <tensorpudding> you probably want the same as the windows you use
[08:51] <aaron32> Okay
[08:51] <aaron32> 64 bit it is
[08:51] <RaTTuS> Nipqr - what file system is the source and are you usin somehting like sudo rsync -va  /mount/source server:/destination
[08:52] <RaTTuS> back in 10 mins need coffee
[08:53] <icedtea> can anyone think of some good places to upload my program (.tar.gz or .deb)?
[08:54] <Fendro> Dropbox?
[08:54] <anonymous_> que isto?
[08:54] <ferni> anyone knows how to tell compiz to prevent windows from spilling to adjacent workspaces?
[08:54] <Qubika> any suggestions ?
[08:55] <ferni> this new application switcher and the fact that part of a program window can be on a another workspaces makes unity 3d unusable
[08:55] <bach1g1_> bueenoss dias :3
[08:55] <dr_willis> Qubika:  your .gvfs  dir
[08:56] <peydude> hello
[08:56] <Qubika> thank you dr_willis
[08:56] <Qubika> it's there
[08:56] <peydude> anyone else have issues with 11.10 not responding to pings from certain IP addresses ?
[08:57] <peydude> is there a firewall or something similar that kicks in after a certain period??
[08:57] <somsip> peydude: where is the server?
[08:57] <peydude> it's sitting next to me
[08:57] <dr_willis> http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/12/how-to-connect-your-android-ice-cream-sandwich-phone-to-ubuntu-for-file-access/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+d0od+%28OMG%21+Ubuntu%21%29
[08:58] <peydude> somsip: I am connected to it for a while and over time I lose connectivity even though i can access it from other hosts
[08:58] <somsip> peydude: ok - wondered if it was virtual, but clearly not
[08:58] <AdvoWork> if ive plugged a USB HD into my ubuntu client pc, but it says that its the wrong FS type, can i format it/fix it so it is?
[08:58] <Qubika> tq willis
[08:59] <peydude> somsip: no but i have a virt server also that has this issue and a restart of the virt instance fixes it until it's inaccessible again
[08:59] <peydude> it's odd because the box is fine and it has network access. i ran wireshark to troubleshoot and it receives the ping requests, just doesn't respond
[09:00] <somsip> peydude: nothing that I know of
[09:00] <pybit> firewall off?
[09:00] <somsip> peydude: does the ip change?
[09:00] <peydude> yeah no firewall on
[09:00] <peydude> somsip: no it's static
[09:01] <peydude> somesip: i can still access it from other servers
[09:01] <pybit> try different network setup
[09:01] <pybit> maybe nat the ip
[09:01] <somsip> peydude: pinging from other inux, or from win32?
[09:01] <peydude> somesip: it just blocks my access over time and i am the only one ssh'd into it
[09:01] <jagarra> a
[09:02] <icedtea> peydude: check the netmask
[09:02] <peydude> somsip: pinging from other linux or linux based routers or cisco switches, etc
[09:02] <peydude> icedtea: looks fine. the host can ping other hosts but just not me :(
[09:03] <rethus> i have kubuntu with pulseaudio... how can i mute single channels of my 7.1 soundcard by script?
[09:03] <peydude> could it be bad net drivers ?
[09:03] <Nipqr> sudo rsync -va /dev/sdb4/* server:/destination, fails with sending incremental file list rsync: change_dir "/dev/sdb4" failed: Not a directory (20)
[09:04] <aaron32> SO MANY JOINS AND QUITS
[09:05] <peydude> i am thinking of just installing the LTS version (10.04). is it easy to setup a cloud on that release ?
[09:05] <icedtea> peydude: whats does 'iptables --list' say
[09:06] <peydude> icedtea: all chains are empty. default policy is ACCEPT
[09:08] <arium> Where to find manual on installing ATI drivers? My system crashes every time i try to install from Proprietary Drivers menu or from binaries downloaded from AMD site

[09:10] <litropy> Hi, peeps. I have a trackball. I'm attempted to use xinput to make it so that when I press both left-click (button 1) and right-click (button 3), my window scrolls with the mouse.  I'd also like to release both buttons and still retain this functionality until I click again. However, surprisingly, xinput is limited to one event per button. So, I'm looking for alternatives.
[09:12] <gunfire007> how to know whether my acpi is working or not..
[09:12] <dr_willis> litropy:  perhaps those disability-type acess helper tools can help

[09:18] <AdvoWork> peydude, its 10.04.3 lts
[09:18] <somsip> rams_pandu: go to #css or #html
[09:18] <deej1976> rams_pandu: How is this related to Ubuntu ?
[09:19] <rams_pandu> somsip, thank you.
[09:20]  * deej1976 wonders if I'm in the right channel
[09:26] <AdvoWork> if ive got a brand new HD I need to format for use with ubuntu, whats the best format to go with, ive got ; ext2,3,4, fat16, fat32, ntfs, linux-swap, xfs and reisers(sp)
[09:27] <Amirh> hi, can anybody tell me that what's the name of the notifier box on the top-right-corner of the desktop? the one for example alerts that a friend just got online in pidgin. I need the name to google about it.
[09:27] <somsip> AdvoWork: commonly, ext4. But xfs and reifers get used too.
[09:27] <auronandace> AdvoWork: you want to format the whole drive with one fs?
[09:28] <auronandace> AdvoWork: it may help to tell us what the drive is going to be used for
[09:28] <deej1976> AdvoWork, Depends on the use, but common ones are ext4,xfs and reifers. fat## are windows formats, linux-swap is just that used for the Linux Swap partition
[09:30] <Amirh> thanks for your help people. it's name is notify-osd
[09:30] <Amirh> you've been very helpful
[09:30] <somsip> AdvoWork: also notify-send

[09:37] <progre55> hey guys. Any ubuntu 11.10 repositories with mysql 5.5 or 5.6?
[09:39] <somsip> progre55: maybe this will help http://askubuntu.com/questions/75977/mysql-5-5-ppa-trustworthy
[09:39] <progre55> somsip: thanks, let me have a look at it
[09:39] <somsip> progre55: I will
[09:40] <deej1976> progre55: there seems to be a few, but nothing official from Oracle
[09:40] <auronandace> AdvoWork: backups of what?
[09:40] <progre55> man I'm starting to hate oracle..
[09:40] <auronandace> AdvoWork: what systems do you want to have access to the backups?
[09:40] <zamba> i need to get h264 encoding in vlc on ubuntu 11.10.. how?
[09:42] <Geoffrey2> the clock on my computer is consistantly an hour behind, even though the appropriate time zone is selected, and the option to update from the internet is selected....
[09:43] <auronandace> AdvoWork: if you need both windows and linux to access the backups then ntfs is your best choice (unless you know for certain that none of the backups will exceed 4gb then you can use fat32)
[09:48] <KyoMan> geoff sounds like a winter/ summertime settings prob
[09:53] <AdvoWork> ive just formatted a drive as ext4, it completed the format, ive got it mounted, am in the drive(folder) but cant make any new folders or anything. Any idea please?
[09:54] <theadmin> AdvoWork: No access to the mountpoint for your user?
[09:54] <deej1976> AdvoWork, You probably want to create a directory with sudo mkdir /mountpoint/directoryname, then give you user ownership sudo chown userid:group /mountpoint/directoryname
[09:56] <TrentonAdams> I'm having a problem removing a keyboard shortcut.  I've got the keyboard shortcuts window open, but there doesn't appear to be a way of actually deleting a shortcut.
[09:57] <AdvoWork> theadmin, deej1976 got it thankyou
[09:57] <deej1976> TrentonAdams, Click on the keyboard shortcut on the Right and press delete ?
[09:57] <TrentonAdams> deej1976: That makes the shortcut set to the delete key
[09:59] <deej1976> TrentonAdams, Should delete the shortcut. I've just tried and it comes up "Disabled"
[09:59] <TrentonAdams> deej1976: Nope, but I clicked help.  it says to hit backspace.
[10:00] <TrentonAdams> deej1976: Always gotta joke about how nobody reads documentation.
[10:00]  * skypent gets ready to ask a supremely dumb question.
[10:00] <theadmin> skypent: Ask away
[10:00] <TrentonAdams> deej1976: As a programmer, I never stop jokin about that, and now I'm the guy doing it.   No just kidding
[10:01] <skypent> ><
[10:01] <theadmin> skypent: Um, that's a bit high, of course, but it's nothing serious, just a bit of video card load.
[10:01] <ikonia> TrentonAdams: stop giving silly advice to people - he's asking for help, not a comedy routine
[10:01] <TrentonAdams> skypent: No, it shouldn't be a problem, as long as your monitor can handle that resolution.
[10:02] <skypent> im using a hd tv
[10:02] <skypent> im more worried about my comp
[10:02] <theadmin> skypent: Don't worry about it, it'll be fine
[10:02] <ikonia> skypent: most modern video cards should be fine,
[10:02] <skypent> alright, thanks guys :D
[10:02] <theadmin> skypent: Unless your video card isn't getting enough cooling for whatever reason, that is, I'd check that
[10:02] <skypent> hm, do modern comps come with an internal monitor for temp?
[10:03] <skypent> if so, is there a ubuntu program that taps into that?
[10:03] <theadmin> skypent: lmsensors probably

[10:21] <Ganeshiva> where is the ns2 install by default from ubuntu Software center
[10:21] <Ganeshiva> i have installed ns2 from ubuntu softwarecenter

[10:22] <remoteCTRL> theadmin: well i am windows certified, and i use linux practically exclusively. but not for reasons of simplicity :D
[10:22] <deej1976> Ganeshiva: I think ns2 is console program try typing ns in a terminal
[10:22] <Ganeshiva> Can anyone help me out
[10:22] <theadmin> remoteCTRL: I define simple as "Without unnecessary additions or complications"
[10:23] <RaTTuS|BIG> zabomber - it's not zombied but :- D is   uninterruptible sleep (usually IO) so unless it has a parent I think a reboot may be the only way
[10:23] <Ganeshiva> i would like to find its lib and headers so that i can modify ti
[10:24] <deej1976> Ganeshiva: You will want to download the source files then from the repository, over to someone else for the apt-get command
[10:24] <Ganeshiva> i have found only ns2's binary file but i need the lib and header files installed in my system
[10:26] <Ganeshiva> where will the files installed from software center

[10:44] <remoteCTRL> theadmin: sry for the late response, boss... : well complications i had plenty, i could not complain about that, just to give a few hints: open-xchange greoupware server, freeradius with missing enries in sites-enabled because the debian packager forgot them, SSL that all of a sudden produces well known sets instead of random keys, etc... ;)
[10:45] <ali3n0> hi folks. I've got an half configured package (postgres-8.4) and I'd like to fix that, but I must not restart the service. Any suggestion?
[10:45] <remoteCTRL> theadmin: erm... my boss was here i meant...
[10:46] <theadmin> remoteCTRL: lol well... Sorry about that
[10:47] <remoteCTRL> theadmin: well... thats just the way things are and it doesnt make too much of a difference to me whether ms messed it up or the linux community... what shall I say, millions of code lines, it is complicated... *g*
[10:48] <somsip> ali3n0: doesn;t postgreSQL support a soft 'reload' using sudo service ?
[10:49] <ali3n0> somsip: maybe, but I'm quite sure aptitude does a stop and than a start
[10:49] <theadmin> remoteCTRL: Because Ubuntu and many other distros add unnecessary additions. Those GUIs make stuff heavy and confusing
[10:49] <somsip> ali3n0: you need to restall not just reconfigure? Hmmm....
[10:49] <cousin_luigi> Hello.
[10:50] <cousin_luigi> Is there an easy way to remove the purple from everywhere?
[10:50] <iceroot> cousin_luigi: just change the theme
[10:50] <cousin_luigi> (boot screen, lightdm background, desktop theme)?
[10:50] <cousin_luigi> iceroot: how?
[10:50] <remoteCTRL> theadmin: gui is another completely different page... i was really only talking about the cli stuff, dude :) but lets continue this in #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[10:51] <iceroot> cousin_luigi: if think for these 3 you need 3 steps because the theme shoudl only affect the logged in session
[10:51] <cousin_luigi> iceroot: suspected as much:/
[10:51] <theadmin> remoteCTRL: I hate that channel, I'd rather use a PM session if you don't mind. Also, "dude" is not a valid way to address girls.
[10:51] <cousin_luigi> iceroot: where can I find a list of the available themes to use on unity?
[10:52] <iceroot> cousin_luigi: i dont know
[10:52] <remoteCTRL> theadmin: first of all PM is ok for me, and secondly sorry, gal in that case :D
[10:52] <ali3n0> somsip: well everything is running smoothly I just want to make aptitude stop to… try to stop postgres when I install a package
[10:53] <somsip> ali3n0: Are you wanting to reinstall postgres, or are you talking about a different package?
[10:54] <cousin_luigi> also is there a way to change the font size?
[10:54] <ali3n0> somsip: I don't want to reinstall, just to fix the package status
[10:55] <ali3n0> it didn't stop+start correctly, and so it is "half configured" now
[10:55] <somsip> ali3n0: I have no idea what you're meaning
[10:55] <somsip> ali3n0: but it's working smoothly? I don't follow you
[10:55] <pfifo> what was that SDK that ubuntu was pushing recently, I remember it had something todo with python
[10:56] <ali3n0> somsip: service is working ok
[10:56] <ali3n0> but dpkg is not happy:
[10:56] <ali3n0> iF  postgresql-8.4
[10:56] <ali3n0> this is the output of dpkg -l postgresql-8.4
[10:56] <BillyJoe> How can I resize the main partition? Using Ubuntu Live CD? Some kind of "rescue CD"? Something else?
[10:56] <ali3n0> point is, if I run a configure, dpkg will run post-inst scripts, and stop postgresql
[10:56] <ali3n0> I don't want those post-install scripts to be run
[10:57] <iceroot> BillyJoe: gparted on a live-cd
[10:57] <BillyJoe> iceroot, okay! Is it safe? Will I need to backup all files?
[10:57] <iceroot> BillyJoe: its always a good idea to have a backup
[10:57] <iceroot> BillyJoe: not only in this case
[10:58] <BillyJoe> iceroot, ok thanks!
[10:58] <sarthor> what can i get help about openerp on IRC?
[10:59] <iceroot> !alis | sarthor
[11:01] <BillyJoe> On the ubuntu download page I can't find "live cd". Is it the same as the ordinary version?
[11:01] <llutz> BillyJoe: the desktop-iso is live-cd
[11:01] <BillyJoe> llutz, ok thanks!
[11:04] <bobalazs> hi ya guys, is this a channel for getting help to ubuntu?
[11:05] <schnuffle> Yes
[11:05] <sarthor> bobalazs: shoot.
[11:05] <pfifo> schnuffle, it is?  Is it possible to set up auto mount DVD on ubuntu 10.10 server edition?
[11:06] <pfifo> !fstab | Milan1992
[11:06] <gast2root> how can i repair xvidcap for ocelot?
[11:07] <bobalazs> i dont specifically know a way to use a different not supported resolution - im using gnome and xfce - could i use an x11 or whatever it is called instead? (im a noob)
[11:07] <pfifo> gast2root, first check for ppa's on launchpad.net and if you cant find anything suitable you can apt-get source and compile your own
[11:07] <pfifo> bobalazs, gnome and xfce use X11
[11:08] <inc0> hi, I have problem, I've messed up my packages
[11:08] <inc0> and now even X wont start
[11:08] <Milan1992> these line: /dev/cdrom /home/szerver/film/DVD udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0  was added to fstab, but nothing happend:S I would like to aoutomount discks in real time not only at start up
[11:08] <gast2root> pfifo: my xvidcap crashed for some reason after recording and can't find config file nowhere to delete
[11:08] <inc0> I wanted to turn mint into ubuntu oneiric with gnome shell
[11:08] <pfifo> !details | inc0
[11:08] <ikonia> inc0: not going to happen
[11:08] <inc0> ikonia, well, I managed to run it
[11:08] <inc0> however
[11:08] <inc0> I installed gnome-pannel
[11:09] <inc0> and that broke everything including gnome itself
[11:09] <deej1976> !enter | inc0
[11:09] <ikonia> inc0: we are not going to support your mint platform
[11:09] <ikonia> inc0: ask the guys in the mint support channels
[11:09] <ikonia> !mint > inc0
[11:09] <pfifo> gast2root, you can run dpkg -L <package name> to get a list of all the files that the package installs, your config should be listed
[11:10] <inc0> well, its not much of a mint now tbh, thats why I'm here. what I really wanted to ask is whats about this is32-libs-multiarch?
[11:10] <inc0> ia*
[11:10] <pfifo> Milan1992, des the directory /home/szerver/film/DVD exist?
[11:10] <ikonia> inc0: it is - it is a mint install that you have broken
[11:10] <ikonia> inc0: the guys in the mint support channel will help
[11:10] <inc0> well, ok...
[11:10] <inc0> ty anyway
[11:11] <Milan1992> yes, i created it. Is it possible that the root has no write privileg?
[11:11] <Milan1992> i can mount by hand.... (if it is important)
[11:11] <pfifo> Milan1992, ahh I see the problem, you have 'noauto' hence its not automounting
[11:12] <Milan1992> just change to auto and try out?
[11:12] <pfifo> just remove noauto
[11:12] <gast2root> pfifo: list worked, but not sure what the config file would be
[11:12] <pfifo> gast2root, usually config files are in /etc and have the extension .conf
[11:13] <Milan1992> pfifo: /dev/cdrom /home/szerver/film/DVD udf,iso9660 user,exec,utf8 0 0 ? or  /dev/cdrom /home/szerver/film/DVD udf,iso9660 user,auto,exec,utf8 0 0
[11:13] <bobalazs> so if a driver doesn't recognize the connected external monitor and i can't set the desired resolution for it, what can i do? can i set up x to maybe set an unsupported resolution? I heard x11 doesnt can bypass the bios for resolutions? Its an old s3g unichrome igp integrated graphics card and the default maximum supported is 1920x1440 - and i would like 1920x1080 -how can i go about it? Also, the extended monitor is cloned by default,
[11:13] <bobalazs>  though not recognized in display settings- i can not see the mouse- can i get help with that also?
[11:13] <pfifo> Milan1992, the former
[11:14] <gast2root> pfifo: no .conf extension listed on dpkg and i searched /etc and /home on hidden files too...
[11:16] <BillyJoe> I have an ubuntu partition and a winxp partition and grub shows both. Now I will make the ubuntu partition smaller and remove the xp partition (using gparted in livecd) and then install windows 7 instead of XP. Will grub automatically work after this? Or is there something I should remember to do to make it work?
[11:16] <gast2root> pfifo: this is the bug for xvidcap..any clue? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xvidcap/+bug/312563
[11:18] <Milan1992> well, it mount, but how can i unmount automaticly when i get it off the machine?:S
[11:18] <pfifo> bobalazs, i usually write my own xorg.conf, its rather difficult todo
[11:19] <pfifo> Milan1992, what do you mean by "get it off the machine"
[11:20] <ubuntu> pari
[11:20] <ubuntu> pari
[11:20] <Milan1992> i put it into the drive <-mean take into the machine, and remove from drive mean get it off
[11:20] <pfifo> gast2root, im not sure what todo about that, it seems though, xvidcap uses an xml file for configuration, you might not have one at all. check 'man xvidcap' to see if it gives any details about configuration files
[11:21] <pfifo> Milan1992, it wont eject until its unmounted so its not possible to do what your trying todo
[11:21] <Milan1992> im setting up a HTPC, ar something like that... And i would like to add the function to it which allow to wach films from dvd...
[11:22] <llutz> Milan1992: you don't mount a dvd to watch it
[11:23] <Milan1992> pfifo: You say i cant get the DVD out without unmount? The DVD is in my hand and the files are in the dir
[11:23] <pfifo> Milan1992, you might want to make a udev rule that autostarts VLC or whatever when you insert a DVD, and then autoejects when the player closes
[11:24] <Milan1992> I use a DLNA server program and its collect the files from the folder which u set.
[11:25] <Milan1992> now i can warch the films on the TV trough the LAN
[11:25] <pfifo> Milan1992, im sort of confused here, is the DVD a video disk or did you just burn some video's to it in data mode?
[11:26] <Milan1992> mainly in data mode.... just a few in DVD format, but those are not important, i can play them with desktop dvd player... The data disc are important
[11:27] <zamba> can someone please tell me how to get h264 encoder in ubuntu 11.10?
[11:27] <Milan1992> so i need a "copy" of the files into the /home/szerver/film/DVD dir to be visible for the DLNA server program
[11:27] <box> is it possible to get google voice working with empathy
[11:27] <dwarder> how do i use chm2pdf utility?
[11:28] <pfifo> Milan1992, well in that case I would look into udev, make it automount the DVD and then autostart a program, when that program ends the dvd unmounts and ejects
[11:28] <dwarder> i trued chm2pdf mychm.chm
[11:28] <dwarder> tried*
[11:28] <BlauskaerM> dwarder: You read the manual
[11:28] <dwarder> BlauskaerM: good answer, have you tried?
[11:28] <dwarder> BlauskaerM: i did
[11:28] <BlauskaerM> dwarder: And you still didnt get it?
[11:29] <pfifo> Milan1992, i have no idea about DLNA. Im saying you should make a script that mounts/plays/unmounts/ejects
[11:29] <Milan1992> pfifo: but when i start the PC the DLNA server start same az a web server and be visible on the TV-s, i can see the dirs in the main folder called "film" and the program list all of the films in the dirs. i cant close the program, just turn of the pc
[11:30] <BlauskaerM> dwarder: Not really sure what you want to do but read this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-convert-chm-files-into-pdf-files-in-ubuntu.html
[11:30] <dwarder> BlauskaerM: got it
[11:30] <deej1976> dwarder: chm2pdf [options] input_filename [output_filename]
[11:30] <dwarder> deej1976: () options
[11:31] <dwarder> that was the key
[11:31] <Milan1992> pfifo: you said i cant eject dvd without unmount, but when i eject it, i can see the files in the folder where i mounted them:S
[11:31] <dwarder> deej1976: in my manual it stated like you said
[11:31] <deej1976> dwarder: chm2pdf --help
[11:31] <pfifo> Milan1992, look into udev, there might be a way to unmount if and when you eject the dvd, although, normally you cant eject a mounted drive
[11:31] <dwarder> deej1976: but in fact you have to chose either from --book or -webpage
[11:31] <pfifo> !udev | Milan1992
[11:32] <dwarder> BlauskaerM: default manual is foobared

[11:53] <Rickyfox> srsly sometimes I just don't get ubuntu: Half an hour ago I tried to boot my notebook with ubuntu 10.10 on it, but didn't even get to the bootloader because the screen just showed "_" blinking. Then, after 5 minutes or so, it says something is wrong and that I should select a bootable partition or insert a bootable stick/disk.  Someone with a sandy bridge chipset here? :)
[11:56] <ikonia> BetaArk: what's the issue ?
[11:56] <zen__> any body can speak chinease?
[11:56] <ikonia> zen__: #ubuntu-cn
[11:56] <llutz> !cn | zen__
[11:58] <BetaArk> ikonia: I have a sandy bridge board (h67).. I can't suspend, and my graphical is poor.. I read some forums, but I want to know if there are other users with the same issue.. (thinking about another mobo)
[11:58] <ikonia> BetaArk: what video card are you using ?
[11:58] <zen__> hello everybody
[11:59] <BetaArk> ikonia: the onboard one. Intel HD
[11:59] <ikonia> BetaArk: ok - so in what way are the graphics "poor"
[11:59] <Rickyfox> okay, calm this time. What could cause a temporary error with the bootloader?
[11:59] <BetaArk> ikonia: sorry for the description.. I mean, when switching windows I sometimes have slow navigation
[12:00] <deej1976> Rickyfox: Failing hard drive ?
[12:00] <ikonia> Rickyfox: explain the issue
[12:00] <ikonia> BetaArk: interesting,
[12:01] <ikonia> BetaArk: could you please pastebin the output of "lspci" please.
[12:01] <MonkeyDust> Rickyfox  did the error occur just once or repeatedly?
[12:01] <BetaArk> ikonia: I use gnome-shell btw.
[12:01] <ikonia> BetaArk: ok
[12:01] <BetaArk> ikonia: Oke, I will do this tonight, and post the pastebin.. I don't have the PC at the moment.
[12:02] <BetaArk> ikonia: Thanks :)
[12:02] <ikonia> ok
[12:02] <BetaArk> ikonia: do you have an idea what the problem could be? Do I need to add something to the xorg file for Intel HD to work?
[12:03] <ikonia> BetaArk: possibly,
[12:03] <Rickyfox> okay it just occured once up until now, as I described I did nothing exceptional the last time I was logged in. But on the next boot the bootloader seems to have problems finding bootable partitions, so he asks me to reboot and select a partition or boot from another source.
[12:03] <ikonia> Rickyfox: was that error from the motherboard booting eg: "can't find bootable device" or something like that
[12:04] <BetaArk> ikonia: oke, thanks.. will paste the lspci
[12:04] <MonkeyDust> Rickyfox  are you using that same pc to chat, or can you reboot and say what happens
[12:04] <Rickyfox> I used my 10.10 live stick (my main partition is also 10.10) and tried to check for errors, but got an error stating that ubi-language crashed with error 100. Some minutes later I restart and boot from harddrive and everything is fine
[12:04] <Rickyfox> eh don't know ikonia, could be
[12:04] <ikonia> Rickyfox: a possible option is that the motherboard is trying to boot the disk before it's spun up
[12:05] <ikonia> Rickyfox: some bios's have a "delay boot for X seconds" option to counter this, especially in machines with lots of disks
[12:06] <e75> hello
[12:06] <e75> so my microphone doesn't work half the time i load up ubuntu. sometimes i can reboot and it'll work just fine though.
[12:06] <Rickyfox> but if that'd be the case it would've happened to me before, wouldn't it?
[12:06] <ikonia> Rickyfox: not really
[12:06] <ikonia> a disk can be delayed sometimes
[12:07] <zen__> 看英文真费劲阿
[12:07] <ikonia> zen__: this channel is English only
[12:07] <tar_> I just upgraded from 7.04 to 10.4 and for some reason it's not trusting anybody's SSL certificates. Am I missing a package that installs the major root certificates?
[12:07] <ikonia> zen__: you have been told where you can speak chineese
[12:08] <ikonia> tar_: personally I would not trust that upgrade process
[12:08] <zen__> that room just me
[12:08] <Rickyfox> okay so I can toggle delayed boot in the bios or what? What is that exactly called?
[12:08] <ikonia> zen__: no it's not
[12:08] <ikonia> zen__: there are 89 people in it
[12:08] <ikonia> zen__: #ubuntu-cn
[12:08] <schnuffle> tar_: check if ca-certificates is installed
[12:09] <ikonia> Rickyfox: it's different in every bios
[12:09] <ikonia> Rickyfox: is this happening a lot ?
[12:09] <Rickyfox> nope, happed to me for the first time
[12:09] <Rickyfox> *happened
[12:09] <tar_> nope!
[12:09] <zen__> how can i join that room
[12:09] <tar_> schnuffle: nope!
[12:09] <ikonia> Rickyfox: ok, so I wouldn't worry about it
[12:09] <e75> so my microphone doesn't work half the time i load up ubuntu. sometimes i can reboot and it'll work just fine though.
[12:09] <ikonia> zen__: how did you join it before ?
[12:09] <schnuffle> tar_: then install it

[12:11] <schnuffle> detrix42: keep in mind you need to adjust the file rights
[12:12] <Rickyfox> okay guys thanks for the help, much appreciated
[12:12] <detrix42> schnuffle:  so I dont need sudo ln ...?
[12:13] <schnuffle> detrix42: It depends on the rights. If you have world readable home dirs you shouldn't need it
[12:13] <prashant> how to resolve all dependencies of package through command line?
[12:14] <schnuffle> prashant: use apt-get or aptitude which resloves the deps
[12:14] <ikonia> prashant: the package manager will resolve for you
[12:15] <prashant> but i want it do manually i.e i'm installing the software by compiling the source code
[12:15] <ikonia> prashant: then you have to manually solve deps
[12:16] <RaTTuS|BIG> prashant - then install it all via apt-get then remove the package you really want then complie and install - then go back to apt-get
[12:16] <pfifo> prashant, apt-get build-dep <package name> will install all the build dependacies for a package
[12:17] <pfifo> prashant, but not the package itself
[12:18] <prashant> ok thanks for that guys!
[12:21] <prashant> if i want list out all the dependencies for a package for an offline installation then how can i get it?
[12:22] <zgr> hello I have oneiric distribution and can't update using update manager, it says "requires installation of untrusted packages" ttf-wqy-zenhei which is korean fonts package (I'm using en_US locale, dunno why i need them). Unchecking it with "distribution updates" makes no difference
[12:23] <JTWU> Any humans here?
[12:23] <schnuffle> prashant: try dpkg -I <package>
[12:24] <JTWU> Hello??
[12:24] <Gentoo64> hi
[12:24] <schnuffle> !ask | JTWU
[12:24] <RaTTuS|BIG> !help
[12:24] <JTWU> patience?
[12:24] <JTWU> cheeky git
[12:24] <samsung> ？？
[12:25] <Gentoo64> JTWU: whats the problem then
[12:25] <JTWU> Having an issue with Skype and JoliOS
[12:25] <JTWU> Pulse Audio??
[12:25] <MonkeyDust> JTWU  wrong channel
[12:25] <iceroot> JTWU: and what does jolios has to do with ubuntu?
[12:25] <pfifo> prashant, you need to download the package with apt-get -d install <package name> and then dpkg-query -W /var/cache/apt/archive/<package .deb>
[12:26] <box> how do i create a tunnel
[12:26] <box> ssh tunnel
[12:26] <iceroot> box: ssh user@host -L localhost:9999:remote-host:8888
[12:26] <iceroot> box: replace the ip/port with your needs
[12:26] <MonkeyDust> box  basically: ssh user@remote_ip
[12:26] <box> iceroot thank youu
[12:27] <schnuffle> box: http://www.debianadmin.com/howto-use-ssh-local-and-remote-port-forwarding.html
[12:31] <aaron32> Erm
[12:31] <aaron32> I have a problem.
[12:31] <iceroot> !details | aaron32
[12:32] <aaron32> Okay, I tryed to install linux using Wubi, It failed, Access denied yadda yadda, I already got it handled
[12:32] <aaron32> But
[12:32] <aaron32> When I restarted my computer, It comes up with a error about ubuntu
[12:32] <aaron32> I press enter
[12:33] <aaron32> It has the duel boot thing
[12:33] <iceroot> !enter | aaron32
[12:33] <aaron32> And I went into windows 7
[12:33] <aaron32> Oh god damn it.
[12:33] <gunfire007> commands of ubuntu and debian are exactly same ?
[12:33] <iceroot> gunfire007: no
[12:33] <pfifo> gunfire007, most are, depends on what you doing
[12:34] <MonkeyDust> aaron32  the trick is to not use wubi
[12:35] <prashant> how to install a package on ubuntu in offline mode?
[12:35] <gunfire007> iceroot and pfifo i am learning more about web servers and stuff, so for that which one should i go for ?
[12:35] <aaron32> MonkeyDust, Its not Wubi, Its my computer itself.
[12:35] <pfifo> prashant, check out dpkg
[12:35] <Gentoo64> gunfire007: up to you
[12:36] <pfifo> gunfire007, ubuntu desktop can do anything a server can do and youll have the gui to make it a bit easier
[12:36] <gunfire007> Gentoo64: for latest hardwares which one woule be the best ?
[12:36] <Gentoo64> gunfire007: for hardware theyre both pretty much the same i think
[12:36] <prashant> but dpkg install the package whose .deb package is there.
[12:36] <Gentoo64> but debian supports more cpus
[12:36] <pfifo> gunfire007, I recommend debain for a real server
[12:37] <Pengu1n_Phr0zen> Gentoo64, Are U the same as Gentoo_0wnz?
[12:37] <Gentoo64> no
[12:37] <Ycarene> Have updates for 11.04 stopped?
[12:37] <pfifo> prashant, you can use apt-get -d install to download packages to /var/cache/apt/archive
[12:37] <Gentoo64> never heard of him lol
[12:37] <Pengu1n_Phr0zen> Gentoo64, It's a she.
[12:37] <Gentoo64> ok
[12:37] <Pengu1n_Phr0zen> Gentoo64, A dyke to be precise.
[12:38] <Pengu1n_Phr0zen> Gentoo64, Probably a shim.
[12:38] <Gentoo64> ok, well no anyway
[12:38] <deej1976> !11.04 | Ycarene
[12:38] <kl> q: how to unlock screen in ubuntu ?
[12:38] <Gentoo64> kl: type the password
[12:38] <gunfire007> ok pfifo :)
[12:38] <pfifo> kl, for xscreensaver you just move the mouse and type in your password
[12:39] <kl> does not work ... it unlocks only when i change user (nb am the only user in system)
[12:39] <pfifo> kl what dosent work exactly?
[12:39] <pfifo> !work
[12:40] <Loshki>
[12:41] <zulunite>  /quit
[12:41] <BluesKaj> hiyas all
[12:41] <kl> yes that is a strong statement maybe i have something not configured... but when i type my password  the screen is not unlocked it asks me for the password again..
[12:43] <pfifo> kl, are you sure you giving it the right password?
[12:43] <Gentoo64> -5
[12:44] <happygolucky> if i have quad core how come my CPU percentage hits 800 percent and shows 8 cores
[12:44] <Gentoo64> happygolucky: probably HT
[12:44] <iceroot> gunfire007: use debian on a webserver
[12:44] <bobalazs> pfifo : command line mode is broken up :/
[12:45] <pfifo> bobalazs, what do you mean?
[12:45] <kltsa> yes it is the same as the one am giving when i press the change user button ..
[12:45] <pfifo> my run `reset`?
[12:45] <bobalazs> its at some weird resolution and screen is half visible with broken up in two
[12:46] <iceroot> gunfire007: ubuntu is better if you want newer software and a better usability on the gui, debian is better if you want a stable system for servers (imo)
[12:46] <bobalazs> startxd
[12:46] <pfifo> bobalazs, im not sure, you should try rebooting and at grub menu edit the kernel line and add noX
[12:46] <bobalazs> meh xD
[12:47] <compdoc> happygolucky, you have an Intel cpu with hyperthreading
[12:47] <Yanch0> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo <- anyone can link me to some article similar to this please? i am trying to get my desktop to login to wifi before prompting for screen
[12:47] <Yanch0> s/screen/login
[12:47] <gunfire007> iceroot: thanks :)
[12:48] <compdoc> happygolucky, but as far as the 800% - what process is eating the cpu time?
[12:50] <pfifo> compdoc, bitcoind
[12:50] <pfifo> and gcc
[12:50] <box> hello
[12:50] <box> i'm having a problem with the screen on my netbook. nothing seems to fit my resolution and i can't increase it any more
[12:51] <davorlozic01> Hi box. Have you installed drivers?
[12:51] <no_gravity> Hello from Germany! In ubuntu 11, it seems when i quit firefox, it somehow still occupies the top menu bar. when i go there with the mouse, i still see "file bookmarks" etc. any ideas? is there no more taskbar, where you can see wich applications are running?
[12:52] <no_gravity> Oh, and when I try to click on the menu bar, nothing happens.
[12:52] <davorlozic01> Go to System Monitor.
[12:52] <box> davorlozic01 it's the correct drivers and maximum supported resolution 1024x600
[12:52] <no_gravity> davorlozic01: me?
[12:52] <davorlozic01> There you have list of opened application.
[12:52] <davorlozic01> Yes.
[12:52] <no_gravity> davorlozic01: where is the system monitor?
[12:52] <schnuffle> box: check your graphic card: lspci | grep VGA and then check if the correct drivers are installed
[12:53] <box> some applications don't have scrollbars like thunderbirds preferences so i'm wondering how anyone else in similar situations gets by?
[12:53] <no_gravity> davorlozic01:  i only have a couple of application icons on the left (firefox, openoffice...) and thats it.
[12:53] <no_gravity> in older ubuntus, i used to hit ALT+F1 to get to the main menu. Is that not possible anymore in Ubuntu 11?
[12:53] <davorlozic01> Go to the first icon (like start).
[12:53] <davorlozic01> Then, write System Monitor.
[12:54] <davorlozic01> Then in System Monitor, go to processes.
[12:54] <davorlozic01> THere is the list of running processes.
[12:54] <no_gravity> davorlozic01: the one with the ubuntu sign? it reads "dash home" when i hover it. nothing happens when i click it.
[12:54] <box> never mind; this is a sufficient solution http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1839692
[12:55] <davorlozic01> Hmm...
[12:56] <davorlozic01> Well... You have to find it somehow... Use search somewhere... The app is System Monitor. How will you find it? I don't know. :)
[12:56] <no_gravity> i have been using ubuntu 11 for a few days now and for me its a complete mess. is there a way to get back to the old behaviour?
[12:56] <davorlozic01> You mean the old look?
[12:57] <iceroot> no_gravity: only with a reinstall, downgrade is not possible
[12:57] <davorlozic01> sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
[12:57] <davorlozic01> Then you will get on startup to choose.
[12:57] <pfifo> no_gravity, you might want to try xubuntu instead apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[12:57] <iceroot> !who | davorlozic01
[12:57] <kandros> no_gravity, there are some workaround but is not the same... just reinstall 11.04 or 10.04 till they are supported
[12:57] <no_gravity> pfifo: let me google that...
[12:58] <davorlozic01> ubottu: I'm sorry. :D
[12:58] <pfifo> no_gravity, it looks and feels like ubuntu 10.04
[12:58] <davorlozic01> XD
[12:59] <atruno-> hi bazhang
[12:59] <kandros> why go to xubuntu 10.04 stay updated for 1 year +
[13:00] <no_gravity> kandros: why reinstall 11.04?
[13:00] <auronandace> !lts | kandros
[13:00] <pfifo> cant wait for 12.04
[13:01] <no_gravity> or maybe i will give debian a try. havent used it for years.
[13:02] <kandros> i know i just wrote very bad what i had in mind, i was meaning if no_gravity likes 10.04 is smarter to stay there till 2013 instead of use xubuntu 11.10
[13:02] <tarvid_> How do I fix this BADSIG problem - http://paste.ubuntu.com/771089/
[13:03] <dddbmt> Hi guys. Is there a way to record the screen of an ipad in ubuntu?
[13:03] <dyd> what tool can i use to convert m4a to mp3?
[13:04] <schnuffle> dyd: lame
[13:04] <no_gravity> dyd: ffmpeg -i some.m4a -f mp3 thing.mp3
[13:04] <no_gravity> dyd: ^ that would be my first try
[13:05] <Tech-1> make sure ffmpeg is installed
[13:05] <no_gravity> How can I get rid of the main menu in Ubuntu 11?
[13:05] <signal0> did anyone knows about that problem: we've bought a new lenovo laptop. the touchpad has no "special" buttons for right and left click. so it's not possible to "click and drag" something
[13:06] <pfifo> signal0, tap and taphold
[13:07] <pfifo> signal0, you might be out of luck with a rightmouse drag tho
[13:08] <signal0> pfifo: hm... so thats an known issue?
[13:08] <pfifo> signal0, no it isnt, i haven't ever heard of a touchpad without buttons before
[13:09] <no_gravity> signal0: a lenovo without mouse buttons?
[13:10] <no_gravity> signal0: which lenovo is it?
[13:10] <signal0> it has mouse buttons... the whole touchpad is a button ;)
[13:10] <signal0> but when i "click" it and drag, it's not working
[13:11] <signal0> lenovo e420s
[13:11] <BarkingFish> signal0: just a thought, how many fingers is the touchpad designed to recognise at one time?
[13:11] <signal0> BarkingFish: two finger scrolling works
[13:11] <dyd> no_gravity: thanks
[13:11] <no_gravity> signal0: the photos of the e420s i see all have mouse buttons.
[13:12] <BarkingFish> Some can have up to 3 recognised
[13:12] <benoliver999> I have shortcuts to Pictures, Videos, Ubuntu One, Documents etc... on my desktop. When I delete the shortcuts, it deletes the files for real! How can I get rid of these?
[13:12] <signal0> no_gravity: yeah, but they're for the trackpoint
[13:12] <signal0> :)
[13:12] <Strav> Hi! Ah, speaking about lenovo. I'm on a lenovo x200, and since a few weeks, I'm experiencing random loss of my network interfaces. What happens is: on a sudden (more especially after a resume from suspend, but not always), the wireless indicator just switch off. Then ifconfig says: nada, not even the ethernet interface is showing up. /etc/init.d/networking restart doesn't help either. Besides, I still cannot find any related bug on
[13:12] <Strav> launchpad. Any suggestions?
[13:12] <signal0> the touchpad self is a mousbutton too
[13:13] <no_gravity> signal0: now i understand.
[13:13]  * no_gravity is on lenovo x301 and loves it!
[13:13] <raven_> how to install routes to openbve?
[13:14] <signal0> hmm.
[13:15] <pfifo> benoliver999, use `unlink`
[13:15] <Strav> no_gravity: please don't make me jealous. ;) But still the x301 is too big for my taste.
[13:16] <benoliver999> pfifo: How?
[13:16] <no_gravity> Strav: the x200 is smaller?
[13:17] <Strav> 12" of screen diagonal. Not thinner though.
[13:17] <pfifo> benoliver999, unlink /home/ben/Pictures
[13:17] <no_gravity> there was some new samsung 13" notebook that is really thin. but i forgot the name.
[13:18] <deej1976> New laptops this year are UltraBooks
[13:18] <BillyJoe> Is there a way to shorten all long filenames in a folder and its subfolders so I can copy the files to a windows system?
[13:18] <Strav> no_gravity: it's just sad that lenovo is going to follow the chicklets keyboard trend.
[13:19] <benoliver999> pfifo: Thanks man
[13:19] <Kurdistan> hi will the stable kernel 3.1 find its way to 11.10?
[13:19] <no_gravity> Strav: whats chicklets?
[13:20] <rumpel> Kurdistan, no
[13:20] <rumpel> Kurdistan, it's not a rolling release
[13:21] <Applesouce> Hey I have a question, is it possible to go into a Terminal-Stage with Ubuntu without the GUI
[13:21] <pfifo> BillyJoe, I remember seeing a bulk rename tool in synaptic in 8.04
[13:21] <Applesouce> like in Backtrack?
[13:21] <Kurdistan> rumpel, I know it is not rolling release but it is still in mainline kernel
[13:21] <Strav> no_gravity: check out the keyboard on the x120e
[13:21] <aperture> Applesouce: cntrl+alt+f1-f6 will put you in a terminal without invoking the gui
[13:22] <Strav> So anyone experiencing loss of network interface, recently, on ubuntu 11.10?
[13:22] <Gentoo64> Strav: wired?
[13:22] <BarkingFish> Applesouce: just remember to use CTRL ALT F7 or F8 to get back to a GUI :)
[13:22] <magikid> Is is possible to reinstall ubuntu without deleting a given directory?
[13:23] <MonkeyDust> magikid  if your /home is on its own partition
[13:23] <aaron32> Woah
[13:23] <aaron32> What the fucl
[13:23] <aaron32> *what the fuck
[13:23] <FloodBot1> aaron32: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[13:23] <iceroot> aaron32: no need that here
[13:23] <pangolin> !language | aaron32
[13:23] <magikid> MonkeyDust: It's not but what if I were to boot a live cd and just delete all the directories except the one I want to keep?
[13:24] <magikid> And then of course, reinstall
[13:24] <Black> how can i enforce grub to load up in a certain 640x480 or 800x600 resolution? Ubuntu 10.4.3 - Im getting the screen unreadable full of vertical lines
[13:24] <aaron32> Sorry, God, I can't read every rule.
[13:24] <Gentoo64> magikid: just copy the dir somewhere else
[13:24] <Gentoo64> the  move it back
[13:24] <Tech-1> common sense
[13:24] <iceroot> magikid: depending if the directory is an extra partiton/mountpoint
[13:24] <Kurdistan> Black, by modify grub
[13:24] <pangolin> !guidelines | aaron32 Please read all the guidelines
[13:24] <Busybyeski> hi guys, i've got a question.  it's my first time ever trying to use ssh, and maybe i oughtn't be using ssh but someone convinced me it was the best option.  i just want to share files from one machine to another.  the machine that has the files is running ubuntu liveusb and the files are mounted, but on a different disk.  i can ssh in (woo!) but i can't get to the external drives. any suggestions or am i going about this wrong?
[13:24] <Black> Kurdistan can you give specific details?
[13:24] <iceroot> aaron32: but you can enable your brain, with an enabled brain you dont have to read every rule
[13:25] <Strav> Gentoo64: hmmm. I would have thought that wired too since it was not listed up when trying ifconfig but I just realized it's down by default if I'm not connected.
[13:25] <aaron32> iceroot, Don't insult me.
[13:25] <no_gravity> Busybyeski: define "i cant get to the external drives"
[13:25] <aaron32> Infact, I'm goooooooooone.
[13:25] <magikid> Gentoo64: It's huge, it's the local backups for several computers
[13:25] <aaron32> Feel free to backsass me.
[13:25] <aaron32> You guys.
[13:25] <Strav> Gentoo64: so I must say that until I check it out more closely, it's only the wlan.
[13:25] <iceroot> aaron32: stop it now please
[13:25] <aaron32> You know, Because thats totally cool
[13:25] <Busybyeski> no_gravity: i don't know where they can be located in the file system, i don't think i can find them anywhere
[13:25] <Gentoo64> Strav: not sure
[13:25] <Kurdistan> Black, install StartUp-Manager
[13:26] <Kurdistan> easiets GUI way
[13:26] <Kurdistan> change resolution
[13:26] <Kurdistan> color depth to 24 bits
[13:26] <Applesouce> so whats up
[13:27] <Applesouce> can I stop the xserver on Ubuntu
[13:27] <no_gravity> Busybyeski: try "ls /mnt" and "ls /media"
[13:27] <Black> Kurdistan and would that would work if i want to modify grub to -noX ?
[13:27] <tron_> not much, watching doctor who
[13:27] <Kurdistan> Black, no clue.
[13:27] <Busybyeski> no_gravity:  haha perfect timing i just found them in /media. Thanks!
[13:28] <Black> i get an unreadable screen at control-alft f1

[13:30] <pfifo> Applesouce, `sudo service gdm stop` use `update-rc.d` to make it permanent
[13:31] <VanessaE> good morning all.  Can someone please tell me how to disable the password/lock when resuming from suspend (in 11.10)?
[13:31] <pfifo> Applesouce, or light-dm insted of gdm if you on a newer ubuntu
[13:31] <MonkeyDust> VanessaE  system settings > screen
[13:31] <VanessaE> Monkey: already tried that.
[13:31] <Applesouce> am on the newest Ubuntu
[13:32] <Applesouce> so
[13:32] <pfifo> Applesouce, does `sudo service light-dm stop` do what you expect?
[13:32] <Applesouce> I don't know yet, at the moment I can't really give it a try^^
[13:32] <Applesouce> but I'll write all the solutions down
[13:33] <pfifo> Applesouce, it should

[13:38] <Black> right o i think that answers that problem
[13:38] <iceroot> foormea: it will start sshd after a reboot

[13:41] <Pici> Sid0035: Please keep in mind that -devel is not a support channel though.
[13:41] <Sid0035> thanks monkey :)
[13:41] <Sid0035> oh oh
[13:42] <Sid0035> i dont know if a normal dev channel can tell me what i need though XD
[13:42] <Sid0035> i mean support XD
[13:42] <pfifo> !ask | Sid0035
[13:42] <Pici> Sid0035: Why don't you try asking your question first.
[13:42] <deej1976> Sid0035: How about just ask your question
[13:43] <foormea> ah ok so basically with upstart, everything goes into /etc/conf/, and there's 1 single file per service. mh. ok. what was wrong with sysv-rc?
[13:44] <pfifo> foormea, sysv is slow
[13:44] <Sid0035> ok um well im i have some programs im useing that i need a back up of before i swich to debain "Sid"
[13:44] <DannyButterman> Hi there
[13:45] <deej1976> details | Sid0035:
[13:45] <deej1976> !details | Sid0035:
[13:45] <BarkingFish> timposey: When you get past the BIOS Self test or your manufacturer screen, press Escape, and you should get your kernel menu
[13:45] <DannyButterman> Does someone know how to force NetworkManager to execute some script when a network connection is closing ?
[13:45] <foormea> pfifo: ok
[13:46] <Sid0035> ok sorry lol ive been up all night XD
[13:46] <deej1976> DannyButterman: Possible place a script in here: /etc/network/if-down.d
[13:47] <DannyButterman> deej1976: would it work for a wifi connection ?
[13:47] <foormea> pfifo: any nice and easy and convenient CLI to configure services that fall into upstart? like sysv-rc-conf?
[13:47] <Yanch0> guys i am trying to get wifi to connect to a wep network automatically. i removed network-manager - should i be using wpa_supplicant ? any tutorial you recommend? im seeing that 11.10 removed wpa_supplicant.conf :S
[13:47] <pfifo> foormea, i think your looking for `update-rc.d`
[13:47] <eduardos> Hi guys. I am using apt-pinning because I want my own repository be priority. It works fine when I put my repo and Ubuntu oficial repo (lucid) in source.list. But it doesn't work when I put my repo and ubuntu-security repo! How can I change this?
[13:47] <iceroot> Yanch0: why you removed network-manager?
[13:48] <DannyButterman> deej1976: we were trying to use the /etc/NetworkManager/Dispatcher.d/01ifupdown feature but to no avail
[13:48] <deej1976> DannyButterman:  It should
[13:48] <Yanch0> iceroot, was told to start by removing that. i want it to connect before gnome login - basically similar to cable connect
[13:48] <ubuntu-partial-u> hi, i'm using ubuntu 10.04 x64, and the update service is bringing up a message which is suggesting a partial upgrade. will this upgrade update the system to ubuntu 11 or keep the current version (10.04)?
[13:49] <timposey> BarkingFish, I will try that, but I thought I had done that, but I have no trouble doing it again to see if it will work
[13:49] <iceroot> ubuntu-partial-u: depending on the exact message you are getting
[13:50] <pfifo> ubuntu-partial-u, it will update individual packages to the newest 10.04 packages, you wont be upgrading to ubuntu 11.10
[13:50] <iceroot> ubuntu-partial-u: if it tells " a new ubuntu release is availbe" it will go to 10.10
[13:50] <iceroot> ubuntu-partial-u: but normal updates never update the ubuntu-version they just bring secuerity-updates
[13:51] <ubuntu-partial-u> @iceroot: i've used versions 11.04 and 11.10, and prefer to stick to 10.04. so as long as it doesn't change the version, i don't mind updating. the software settings are set to LTS updates only. the message is about general updates, which i'll paste a screenshot.
[13:52] <iceroot> ubuntu-partial-u: if it is set to "lts only" you dont have to be afraif
[13:52] <iceroot> ubuntu-partial-u: because there is no newer lts (stable) at the moment
[13:54] <Yanch0> iceroot, should i get network-manager again ?
[13:54] <Sid0035> ok i have to swich to the new version of debain code named "Sid", im using ubuntu 11.10 and i need to transfer all of my programs and files i need that i have gotten in the past 5 days or so, also some files that i have created and will need on the new debain Code named "Sid"
[13:54] <ubuntu-partial-u> @iceroot: heres the message: http://img849.imageshack.us/img849/9653/ubuntumsg.png
[13:54] <Sid0035> but i have no cd's or any thing to externaly back my the data i need up :(
[13:55] <pfifo> Sid0035, use scp or nfs to transfer them to a different box
[13:55] <jita> Which mail server should i use which is easier to configure
[13:56] <pfifo> jita, exim4
[13:56] <pfifo> exim4-light
[13:56] <Sid0035> so can i use my ubuntu one account on the new Debain system that?
[13:56] <iceroot> Yanch0: i am not sure if network-manager can do it
[13:56] <DannyButterman> deej1976: as a matter of fact, it doesn't work either ( /etc/network/if-down.d/)
[13:56] <Gentoo64> Sid0035: just backup the configs and reinstall the progs
[13:56] <Gentoo64> Sid0035: although the versions might be different
[13:56] <Gentoo64> and might have idfferent config options
[13:56] <iceroot> ubuntu-partial-u: what is the output of "dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii | grep -v ^rc"
[13:59] <pfifo> ubuntu-partial-u, I can see in the background that its holding back linux-generic, this is because kernel version 3.0 just came out, you can safely ignore that message, you dont need to upgrade to 3.0
[14:01] <timposey> BarkingFish, the screen would not appear using the Esc key
[14:01] <pfifo> ubuntu-partial-u, more specifically you can run partial upgrade, it will install all the updates except the new kernel, you would still have 10.04lts afterwards
[14:01] <BarkingFish> try holding it down until you see "GRUB Loading" appear, timposey
[14:02] <ubuntu-partial-u> @pfifo: ok, i'll run the upgrade. thanks
[14:03] <sam22> hello
[14:03] <Sid0035> so um will i have access ubuntu one on the new system if thats a yes i can store my saves non programs there also right?
[14:04] <sam22> i have xorg-server 2:1.10.1-1ubuntu1.3 installed.. how to install xorg-server 2:1.10.1-1ubuntu1.2
[14:04] <DannyButterman> Can someone help me using the /etc/network/if-down.d feature ? so far I can't make it run a script of mine. It can't even log what happens though it does when ran in command line
[14:05] <timposey> BarkingFish, nothing it just goes straight through to the login screen and it has never done this before
[14:05] <Yanch0> anyone can guide me through my wifi problem please?
[14:05] <BarkingFish> hm...
[14:05] <BarkingFish> I can't think what's up then, timposey - I never have that problem.  I hit escape, get my kernel menu, hit enter and I'm off....
[14:06] <Sid0035> man i suck in chat rooms XD
[14:06] <pfifo> timposey, BarkingFish, you need to boot and then hold down SHIFT to get to the grub menu
[14:07] <GaRRu> How can I compile EXE files into Language Codes that can be read? using Kubuntu 11.04. Any Compiler?
[14:07] <GaRRu> Yanch0, What is your problem with WiFi?
[14:07] <BarkingFish> pfifo: I was originally told to use Escape, and that works here.
[14:07] <Yanch0> GaRRu, can't find some good documentation on wpa_supplicant on ubuntu oneirc
[14:08] <BarkingFish> If it's the wrong information, I have this channel to thank for it.  I came here first when I joined Kubuntu, cause I didn't know it had a channel.
[14:08] <GaRRu> Yanch0, Answer me in Pm
[14:09] <pfifo> GaRRu, what are you trying todo with exe files?
[14:09] <Yanch0> GaRRu, u sure its better not talking in channel?
[14:09] <sam22> guys how to configure Xorg
[14:09] <GaRRu> Yanch0, I need this channel for my question too.
[14:10] <pfifo> GaRRu, maybe your looking for something like this http://www.symantec.com/connect/articles/alien-autopsy-reverse-engineering-win32-trojans-linux
[14:10] <iceroot> sam22: normally with /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[14:10] <GaRRu> pfifo, I got an Exe File that I want to read what is inside that file, do you know any way to compile it to a readable language?
[14:10] <iceroot> GaRRu: not possible
[14:10] <iceroot> GaRRu: only reverse-engineering
[14:10] <GaRRu> iceroot, why not?
[14:10] <Sid0035> dont know about u guys but i do way better when i have been up all night just talking in TS3 XD
[14:11] <GaRRu> iceroot, so it is possible
[14:11] <iceroot> GaRRu: because you cant get source-code from binarys
[14:11] <iceroot> GaRRu: its not
[14:11] <pfifo> GaRRu, you can decompile it to assembly, and you can 'read' assembly so to speak
[14:11] <Sid0035> but i cant rember any of my old server to join form when i had windows :(
[14:11] <iceroot> GaRRu: you can get asm-code but no c code or something like that
[14:12] <usr13> iceroot: GaRRu I'm a latecomer to this conversation but, why not use wine?
[14:12] <iceroot> usr13: what?
[14:12] <GaRRu> iceroot, pfifo, I said a language that is read to man kind, that includes ASM,C,C++,Java,C# etc etc..
[14:12] <iceroot> usr13: reread the discussion
[14:12] <iceroot> GaRRu: have fun to read big programs in asm
[14:12] <GaRRu> usr13, I am not trying to make the exe file work.. I am trying to read what there is in it
[14:13] <pfifo> GaRRu, well check out that link i gave you, you can decompile following their method
[14:13] <GaRRu> iceroot, anyway to compile it to asm?
[14:13] <usr13> GaRRu: Oh.  Not sure where to go with that....
[14:13] <iceroot> GaRRu: as i said, reverse-engineering
[14:13] <GaRRu> pfifo, I will, Thanks for now. iceroot, how?
[14:13] <iceroot> GaRRu: Disassembling with a Disassembler
[14:14] <pfifo> GaRRu, what do you want to get out of the file?
[14:14] <rs0832> GaRRu,  you can have a look at http://boomerang.sourceforge.net and see if it suits you
[14:14] <Gentoo64> is this not offtopic
[14:14] <Sid0035> i think he wants teddy bears :D
[14:15] <pfifo> GaRRu, you might be able to use a program similiar to PEExplorer to extract a resource in it
[14:15] <GaRRu> pfifo, What is that? a software?
[14:16] <pfifo> GaRRu, ask google, its kinda hard to explan, and this is off topic
[14:16] <Sid0035> i forgot the topic of this chat long 5 mins ago
[14:17] <Sid0035> that's what happens when ya cant sleep XD
[14:17] <GaRRu> pfifo, I'm trying to get out from it a reasonable way to bypass an administrator password on Windows XP/7 OS, or bypass the useage of clicking on "Run as Administrator" at all.. just running another Exe File
[14:17] <Gentoo64> GaRRu: ask in windows lol
[14:17] <Gentoo64> and to bypass uac for exes, use task scheduler
[14:18] <Gentoo64> but this isnt exactly ubuntu related :)
[14:18] <GaRRu> Gentoo64 explaine please?
[14:18] <Gentoo64> google windows 7 bypass uac task scheduler
[14:19] <Gentoo64> thats all
[14:19] <Sid0035> brb i think people are hiding the cookies i saw a few days ago XD
[14:20] <GaRRu> Gentoo64, I will check it out now. just need a backgroud how it is done (That's why I wanted a Exe compiler)
[14:20] <iceroot> GaRRu: you dont want a compiler
[14:20] <iceroot> GaRRu: you want a decompiler
[14:21] <iceroot> GaRRu: but trust me, you dont want that!!!
[14:21] <Gentoo64> GaRRu: seriously ill get kicked, but basically task scheduler allows to run any program as superuser, without the uac prompt popping up, by making a shortcut
[14:21] <iceroot> GaRRu: just buy your windows, dont put offtopic in this channel and so on
[14:21] <pfifo> Gentoo64, that sounds secure
[14:21] <GaRRu> iceroot, I know what your talking about xD I tried reading files of ASM codes, some took me ages. and yeah a decompiler :P
[14:22] <Gentoo64> well, you do need admin access to access task scheduler...
[14:22] <iceroot> !ot
[14:22] <iceroot> ##windows
[14:22] <GaRRu> iceroot, its not exactly for me :) Its for an entire community :D
[14:23] <mxracer450> Hello all, was wondering if anyone could take the time to help an ubuntu n00b get his sound working again?
[14:24] <usr13> mxracer450: aslamixer
[14:24] <GaRRu> Iceroot, pfifo, Gentoo64, Thank you for your kind help. Ill be checking all the stuff you brought me right now.
[14:24] <usr13> !sound | mxracer450
[14:24] <mxracer450> thank you. My settings in sound preferences are correct
[14:24] <mxracer450> Nothing has changed...just recently stopped working. I will check these links though.
[14:26] <usr13> mxracer450: What does alsamixer say?
[14:27] <mxracer450> usr13: im not sure what your referring to
[14:27] <Sid0035> so any one have a ts server that has used the debain "sid" version and saw if they had actcess to ubuntu one working in that program? i need to use it to hold stuff but i wont bother with that code version if i cant take all my files with me that i need to have XD
[14:29] <usr13> mxracer450: Open a terminal and type    alsamixer    hit enter.  First look in upper left corner to see that your sound card is identified properly.
[14:29] <mxracer450> gotchya....one sec
[14:29] <Milan1992-ubuntu> Hi again. A made a mistake and i cant edit the /etc/fstab, read/only and cant use chmod on it... How can i repair the files, with live cd?
[14:29] <mxracer450> yes, sound card is identified usr13
[14:29] <BluesKaj> mxracer450, alsa recently updated , and if you check alsmixer the automute may need disabling
[14:30] <usr13> mxracer450: Next look at the various channel collums, see that they are not muted, (there will be MM at bottom of the collum if it is muted).
[14:30] <mxracer450> the only column that is muted is the "beep"column
[14:30] <jclbrt> i feel good... i think i've prob hit the best results on speedtest.net than anyone i know
[14:30] <jclbrt> :-)
[14:31] <jclbrt> with a 5ms response time too
[14:31] <sam22> nice
[14:31] <mxracer450> │although, speaker is set to zero for some reason. even though all of my volume tabs in the gui are set high
[14:31] <sam22> what type of internet connection give you 5ms ?
[14:31] <jclbrt> http://www.speedtest.net/result/1650194555.png
[14:31] <sam22> UK ?
[14:31] <jclbrt> no US
[14:31] <Yanch0> guys anyone can help me set up wpa_supplicant with  wep authentication please?
[14:31] <sam22> how far is the server from you ?
[14:32] <sam22> how many miles ?
[14:32] <jclbrt> just a dedicated fiber hand off
[14:32] <jclbrt> like 100 miles
[14:32] <usr13> mxracer450: move right to left with right and left arrows.  Raise volume level with up arrow.
[14:32] <sam22> 50 miles
[14:32] <sam22> so 1 ms for each mile
[14:32] <sam22> amazing
[14:32] <usr13> mxracer450: move right to left with right and left arrows, so select various channels.  Raise volume level with up arrow.
[14:32] <sam22> 1ms for 10 miles
[14:32] <jclbrt> but i'm at a data center where all the ISPs sell backbone out of
[14:32] <Sid0035> oh wow that's nice deticated fiber is the good stuff XD
[14:32] <sam22> how much the line cost?
[14:33] <trkemist> I cannot start Google Chrome with Ubuntu Oneirc. Is that a bug? I can use Chromium
[14:33] <jclbrt> technically it's unlimited bandwidth but allocates based on need
[14:33] <theadmin> trkemist: Sounds like one
[14:33] <theadmin> trkemist: Use Chromium, it's EXACTLY the same except crash reporting
[14:33] <iceroot> theadmin: what is the error-message when starting ti from the shell?
[14:33] <jclbrt> cuz i transfered a 5GB file in under 4 minutes to one of our servers off site
[14:33] <theadmin> iceroot: Uh?
[14:33] <iceroot> theadmin: wrong nick...
[14:33] <mxracer450> done. checking if anything has changed, one moment
[14:33] <theadmin> iceroot: Oh
[14:33] <iceroot> trkemist: what is the error-message when starting ti from the shell?
[14:34] <iceroot> theadmin: i am to lazy at the tab-completion...:)
[14:34] <jclbrt> sam22: i am not exactly sure i think it's like 20k per month or something
[14:34] <pfifo> jclbrt, you should install a dedicated fiber to my house so you can do offsite backups, ill keep your data safe
[14:34] <Milan1992-ubuntu> How can i repair my system without reinstall or data lost? can i set it back in time like windows? i cant check the files with fsck, may i dont know how
[14:34] <jclbrt> it's a company network
[14:34] <jclbrt> pfifo... thats what i do lol
[14:34] <_Nano> Can someone tell me how to switch kernels on a remote server? I'm not really sure how to do it.
[14:34] <sam22> to home it's always shared
[14:34] <mxracer450> negative, nothing has changed as of yet usr13
[14:34] <jclbrt> i'm disaster recovery tech
[14:34] <iceroot> Milan1992-ubuntu: with your backup you can restore the system to a specific time
[14:35] <sam22> each line from 30 to 128 homes
[14:35] <gor00_> hello all
[14:35] <imbezol> 1ms per 10 miles is extremely high though
[14:35] <usr13> !grub | _Nano
[14:35] <jclbrt> i get 105mbps down at home and i think like 50mbps up
[14:35] <jclbrt> but never at 5ms
[14:35] <imbezol> there's something wrong with fiber that has that much latency
[14:35] <sam22> i think it's 5 microseconds to each mile ?
[14:35] <sam22> one wy ?
[14:35] <Milan1992-ubuntu> iceroot: can i do it from livecd or i should do it from the original systam, and how?
[14:35] <_Nano> thanks. I'd figured I would still use grub.
[14:35] <jclbrt> imbezol, its not fiber that has the latency but rather the switching and routing
[14:36] <Anahi> hi, im kind of new to this system... im having some problems connecting to mi hotmail account, i can access the log in page but as soon as i try to log in i get the error 101... i have google chrome and firefox... neither of them works... i have just installed ubuntu 11.10 and haven changed any setting... dont know if someone could help me...
[14:36] <imbezol> sam22: it's 5 microseconds per kilometer.
[14:36] <jclbrt> the medium is fine but the equipment on the end can bring that up
[14:36] <imbezol> sam22: microsecond != millisecond
[14:36] <jclbrt> i mean it has a number of hops before getting to me
[14:36] <pfifo> _Nano, you should get your ISP todo it
[14:36] <usr13> Anahi: Try refresh
[14:36] <Anahi> already tried
[14:37] <jclbrt> comcast sells up to 105mbps in my town
[14:37] <theadmin> _Nano: Basically, make new kernel grub's default and reboot the machine
[14:37] <avernos> my /var partition is full, how can i give it some space from other partition?
[14:37] <jclbrt> but verizon sells like up to 250mbps one town over :-(
[14:37] <Guest40344> trolololol
[14:37] <VictorCL> with netbeans I get  "netbeans cannot lock read-only file ubuntu"
[14:37] <theadmin> avernos: gparted is capable of resizing partitions, however, make sure to use it from a livecd (it can't operate on mounted partitions, and unmounting /var during work time is a bad idea...)
[14:37] <gor00_> does anyone has experience in making a live usb flash disk with Ubuntu and Grub2? Actually I am stucked at the stage 2 of GRUB and only get the "grub rescue>" shell.
[14:38] <pfifo> _Nano, hopefully you have remote KVM incase it dosent boot correctly
[14:38] <Sid0035> dose any one know if i can use the ubuntu one with the debain code name "sid" ver i relay need it lol
[14:38] <_Nano> pfifo, I can netboot if I screw it up
[14:38] <jclbrt> gor00_, i have before
[14:38] <iceroot> Milan1992-ubuntu: depending on your backup
[14:38] <theadmin> Sid0035: Is "sid" the "unstable" branch?
[14:38] <Sid0035> yes
[14:38] <theadmin> Sid0035: That might work, iirc Ubuntu is based on Debian Unstable
[14:38] <avernos> theadmin, cant i link a folder pointing to another partition with more space? im not next to the computer, so i cant do that approach
[14:38] <Sid0035> ok then i can take my work with me :D
[14:39] <theadmin> Sid0035: Grab the deb from one.ubuntu.com
[14:39] <gor00_> hi jclbrt
[14:39] <theadmin> ISid0035:  suggest you dropbox tho :P
[14:39] <jclbrt> heyllo
[14:39] <Milan1992-ubuntu> iceroot: the main question is there anz automatic backup file or no automatic save?
[14:39] <pfifo> Sid0035, i think ubuntu one is just a front end for rsync
[14:39] <theadmin> avernos: Sure you can, ln -s /other/partition\'s/mountpoint /var
[14:39] <theadmin> avernos: Make sure to copy stuff over first tho...
[14:40] <Sid0035> ok thanks for awncering my question
[14:40] <theadmin> pfifo: It provides you free space on Canonical's servers, even if it is a rsync frontend
[14:40] <Sid0035> im gonna back up my files i need to work on that version then
[14:40] <iceroot> Milan1992-ubuntu: no automated backup
[14:40] <avernos> theadmin, copy everything in it? cant i just keep using that /var and link another folder in another partition? thanks tho
[14:40] <iceroot> !backup | Milan1992-ubuntu
[14:41] <theadmin> avernos: No, I don't think that would work
[14:41] <pfifo> theadmin, I mean if it is an rscny front end then it will workd with sid or any other distro
[14:42] <theadmin> pfifo: Ah. It also does weird stuff to Nautilus though.
[14:42] <sam22> imbezol microseconds not miliseconds
[14:42] <sam22> light can go around the earth 7 times in a second but in vacum space
[14:43] <sam22> inside a fiber optic is a little bit different but still fast
[14:43] <imbezol> sam22: indeed. but you said ms, which is milliseconds
[14:43] <Sid0035> thanks for awncering me :D have to go afk for awhile brb
[14:43] <sam22> no he said 5ms to a 50 miles server. so that's 1ms per 10 miles
[14:43] <sam22> which is extremely good
[14:44] <imbezol> ms is milliseconds, not microseconds
[14:44] <imbezol> if it too 5ms it's extremely slow
[14:44] <imbezol> *took
[14:44] <imbezol> anyways.. it's offtopic
[14:45] <sam22> ok
[14:45] <sam22> 1000 microsecond is 1 milisecond
[14:45] <pfifo> imbezol, 5ms ping is FAST!
[14:45] <sam22> 1000 ms is 1 second
[14:45] <sam22> pfifo yeah it is very fast
[14:45] <sam22> and it's call round trip
[14:45] <sam22> so that's 2.5ms going and 2.5ms coming back
[14:45] <imbezol> it should be under 1ms for 10 miles away
[14:45] <sam22> so that's super fast
[14:46] <imbezol> it should be under 5 ms even hundreds of miles away
[14:46] <imbezol> otherwise our internet wouldn't work
[14:46] <imbezol> if you tried to visit a site across the country you'd have to wait a minute for a response
[14:46] <imbezol> nm the other side of the world
[14:46] <sam22> i think he said datacenter
[14:47] <sam22> you can run NAS on a 5ms line from city to city and you won't notice any lag
[14:49] <Yanch0> anyone can please help me set up wpa_supplicant to login to my WEP network automatically on boot please? all configs pasted here: http://pastebin.com/FLsTVWe5
[14:49] <pfifo> sam22, I would still blam lag every time i die
[14:49] <prof> wpa_supplicant is not for WEP
[14:51] <jclbrt> imbezol thats not true at all...
[14:52] <asif> hi..how to configure PPOE ..?
[14:52] <jclbrt> the number of hops is responsible for latency, it's usually the job of ISPs and gateways to find you the shortest route
[14:52] <GodManMonkey> anyone know how to get usb wireless working 10.04 lts?
[14:52] <BluesKaj> Yanch0, what's your reason for not using network manager and wifi startup before the login page ?
[14:52] <usr13> GodManMonkey: What does the network manager say?
[14:53] <Yanch0> how can I achieve that BluesKaj - i basically want wifi to be connected before the login screen - whatever works for me im happy to do it (ps network-manager I removed it)
[14:53] <usr13> GodManMonkey: Does the network manager show any wireless networks available?
[14:53] <GodManMonkey> wusr13..will not even let me instal driver...manager says nothing....does not see access points or anything..
[14:54] <usr13> GodManMonkey: What driver are you trying to install?
[14:54] <GodManMonkey> i tried using ndiswrapper and ndisgtk....
[14:54] <prof> does your machine have a wifi switch that needs to be turned on?
[14:54] <jclbrt> imbezol do a ping to <IP_ADDRESS> and tell me what u get?
[14:54] <usr13> GodManMonkey: lspci |grep ireless   #Show us what that says.
[14:55] <GodManMonkey> i used a tut that said to use those proggies to install drivers, however....the cds containing the drivers were inside exe. files so could not open...
[14:55] <phong_> hi guys, how can i start sftp server on ubuntu?
[14:55] <GodManMonkey> no wifi switch..it is a desktop..
[14:55] <theadmin> asif: Run "pppoe-setup", it should help out
[14:55] <AaronCampbell> Is there a way to get a list of the packages installed on one computer (preferably only the ones installed through the repositories) so that I can just pipe that list into `apt-get install` on a new system to get the same packages?
[14:55] <phong_> i want to have sftp no ubuntu
[14:55] <GodManMonkey> usb wireless plugged in..
[14:55] <BluesKaj> Yanch0, understood but why ? Is it absolutely necessary ? It's an unusual request .
[14:56] <imbezol> jclbrt: i get an icmp type 0 packet
[14:56] <theadmin> !clone | AaronCampbell
[14:56] <imbezol> jclbrt: i know how it works.
[14:56] <asif> theadmin: I am trying
[14:56] <aguitel> GodManMonkey, what chipset?
[14:56] <GodManMonkey> usr13 i will have to log out and in on ubuntu to igrep
[14:56] <MonkeyDust> AaronCampbell  aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages
[14:56] <usr13> GodManMonkey: What is the make and model of the wireless device?
[14:56] <Yanch0> BluesKaj, i need this to act as a server - so no need to log in but need its services receable from the internet
[14:57] <phong_> does any know know how to setup sftp on ubuntu?
[14:57] <usr13> GodManMonkey: Can you temporarily plug into wired network?
[14:57] <usr13> GodManMonkey:    ethernet?
[14:57] <GodManMonkey> it is a cheap 150N wireless LAN USB adapter...
[14:57] <GodManMonkey> erm
[14:57] <GodManMonkey> make n model...
[14:57] <GodManMonkey> cheap? lol..
[14:58] <GodManMonkey> see if i can find the box...
[14:58] <aguitel> GodManMonkey, lsusb
[14:58] <GodManMonkey> lsusb?
[14:58] <usr13> GodManMonkey: As aguitel says,  lsusb will identify it.
[14:58] <GodManMonkey> no i have no wired network..thats what i usually would do...
[14:58] <usr13> GodManMonkey: .... tell us what chipset it is.
[14:59] <aguitel> GodManMonkey, in terminal type: lsusb
[14:59] <GodManMonkey> ok
[14:59] <Milan1992-ubuntu> is it possible to delete a file with livecd if it is protected and read only?
[14:59] <GodManMonkey> trying to figure out chipset
[14:59] <phong_> is there possible to change the sftp port number on ubuntu instead of port 22 ?
[15:00] <usr13> GodManMonkey: lsusb will show all of the usb ports, you will need to find the one that shows  your wireless NIC.
[15:00] <theadmin> Milan1992-ubuntu: Yeah, sure
[15:00] <phong_> help me guys
[15:00] <SunTsu> phong_: change your sshd's port
[15:00] <phong_> SunTsu, how?
[15:00] <BluesKaj> Yanch0, servers are much more reliable, as hardwired to the internet, devices , especially if you have considerable traffic.
[15:00] <SunTsu> phong_: man sshd
[15:00] <Milan1992-ubuntu> well, and how? simple forced rm?
[15:00] <SunTsu> and man sshd_config
[15:00] <usr13> GodManMonkey: It would be helpful if you could temporarily connect to wired network. (Or get a wireless device that is fully supported.)
[15:00] <phong_> SunTsu, comeon man,
[15:01] <Yanch0> BluesKaj, not much traffic no - just presence for ssh if need be
[15:01] <GodManMonkey> does chipset mean this? AMD athlon 64 X2 dual core processor 4200+ 2.20 Ghz..
[15:01] <GodManMonkey> yes usr13..however i unfortunately cannot..
[15:01] <SunTsu> phong_: I don't feel the urge to copy stuff out of the man page so you don't need to open it, no thanks
[15:02] <szal> GodManMonkey: no, that's the CPU
[15:02] <GodManMonkey> erm srry..
[15:02] <usr13> GodManMonkey: No, we are wanting you to identify the wireless network adapter and tell us what it is.
[15:02] <GodManMonkey> k
[15:02] <AaronCampbell> thanks theadmin and MonkeyDust

[15:02] <cbf> i need to get mysql 5.1 onto an 8.04 box. what's the best/most legit repo to achieve that? or am i better off just installing from source?
[15:03] <eduardos> Hi guys. I am using apt-pinning because I want my own repository be priority. It works fine when I put my repo and Ubuntu oficial repo (lucid) in source.list. But it doesn't work when I put my repo and ubuntu-security repo! ubuntu-security has priority ever. How can I change this?

[15:05] <andygraybeal> how do i get 'indicator-weather' in my toolbar ? i'm on 11.10 - i have done 'apt-get install indicator-weather' and it is on my system, but i don't know how to add things to the top bar.  i know i'm dumb.
[15:06] <_Nano> okay, /etc/default/grub GRUB_DEFAULT has nothing to do with which kernel will be selected on  a server, right because there's no display?
[15:07] <StudentRik> Hello everyone, Im installing joomla extensions and having to chmod lots of different directories. Is there a way of doing this in one go? the folders are local in my /www folder
[15:07] <_Nano> I just need to switch to the kernel that came with xen-hypervisor-4.1 package, and it seemed to add all the correct grub configs but uname -a says it's still booting with the old kernel
[15:07] <geirha> StudentRik: You want to give all directories under /www the same mode?
[15:08] <joesuffceren> I have used rescue remix to recover some data from an NTFS partition on a machine that would no longer boot. I'm going to do an OS reload, but I want to determine if my problem was just logical corruption, or if I need to replace the drive. How do I diagnose the health of the drive itself using rescue remix?
[15:08] <andygraybeal> StudentRik, the recursive switch -r
[15:08] <StudentRik> would that be the correct way to install the extensions? and would i have to change back the permissions?
[15:09] <mxracer450> Hello everyone, I was in here earlier,  trying to resolve a sound issue on my dell mini. I am using 10.04 lte netbook edition....I followed the links generated to troubleshoot, as well as the alsamixer command. everything has checked out. Nothing is muted, it recognizes my sound card. I did the command on the support page to restore the generic sound stack. Rebooted. I still have no sound. Can anyone help?
[15:09] <andygraybeal> StudentRik, there is a joomla channel #joomla :)
[15:09] <StudentRik> could i use -rv and decide which ones to do ?or would that be painful??
[15:10] <cbf> why doesn't ubuntu update it's repositories anyway?
[15:10] <cbf> i can't even apply the latest update for 5.0 via apt-get let alone 5.1
[15:10] <sparr> how can I add widgets to my top panel in 11.10?
[15:10] <theadmin> sparr: You can't
[15:11] <deej1976> ¬lts
[15:11] <geirha> StudentRik: I'd say, give yourself write access to the top dir (non-recursive), and install as your user. That is, assuming the joomla install is just to untar a file in the htdocs dir.
[15:11] <deej1976> !lts
[15:11] <theadmin> sparr: I suggest you swithch to XFCE if you miss that functionality, because GNOME no longer provides widgets. XFCE, though, is compatible with GNOME applets
[15:11] <sparr> theadmin: is there any other place/way to get back all the widgets i kept there in older versions?
[15:11] <auronandace> !latest | cbf
[15:11] <sparr> theadmin: I'm switching to KDE soon
[15:11] <theadmin> sparr: KDE's fine too, but is not compatible with GNOME, and also it's a lot of the RAM/CPU load
[15:12] <usr13> _Nano:  /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[15:12] <sparr> I'm really unhappy with the changes to Gnome in 11.10
[15:12] <endzYme> me too
[15:12] <sparr> I used to be a big KDE fan, but all the problems with 4.0 when all the major distros switched drove me to Gnome
[15:12] <usr13> _Nano: Oh you installed a new kernel?
[15:12] <sparr> now Gnome has the same problem
[15:12] <sparr> throwing away years of great features
[15:12] <sparr> so, back to KDE, now that 4.x is stable
[15:12] <theadmin> sparr: 11.10 no longer has GNOME by default, we use Unity now, but yeah, GNOME 3 is even worse
[15:13] <_Nano> usr13 I mean it's part of the package xen-hyervisor-4.1amd64
[15:13] <usr13> _Nano: Do you see it listed in  /boot/grub/grub.cfg  ?
[15:13] <Myrtti> theadmin: Unity is Gnome 3...
[15:13] <theadmin> Myrtti: Well, I don't want to confuse users saying gnome 3 supports multiple shells and Unity is one of them...
[15:13] <_Nano> ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ### followed by ### END /etc/grub.d/20_linux_xen ###
[15:13] <theadmin> Myrtti: But yeah, true :D
[15:13] <usr13> _Nano: Has the system been rebooted since installing that new package?
[15:13] <_Nano> yeah, multiple reboots
[15:14] <_Nano> xm info says hypervisor information is not in sysfs, so it can't be the right kernel
[15:14] <usr13> _Nano: Is this just a kernel patch?  May be already in the existing kernel?
[15:15] <_Nano> usr13, the strange thing is that it installed a gzip to /boot "xen-4.1-amd64" and it's 728kb
[15:15] <stupidmonkey> i have a problem, ive install compiz on my laptop, but it doesnt work
[15:16] <_Nano> I don't know if that's a gzipped kernel, or a patch
[15:16] <Tech-1> stupidmonkey:  install the fusion-icon
[15:16] <_Nano> apt should have set it all up correctly, so I thought, this package is included with 11.10
[15:16] <Tech-1> then right click it for switching
[15:16] <usr13> _Nano: Did you install xen-utils-4.1 and xen-docs-4.1  ?
[15:17] <_Nano> yeah, apt says they're on here.
[15:18] <usr13> _Nano: You may need to do grub-install
[15:18] <_Nano> I will read more about grub2
[15:18] <_Nano> thanks, though.

[15:23] <GodManMonkey> whew
[15:23] <arunkumar413> theadmin: what's atp?
[15:23] <arunkumar413> sorry apt
[15:24] <theadmin> arunkumar413: APT is the Advanced Package Tool... Well, okay, open a terminal and type in: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install synaptic
[15:24] <theadmin> arunkumar413: Then, launch Synaptic from the menus. It's an alternative to the software center.
[15:24] <theadmin> arunkumar413: Works better too (faster)
[15:26] <arunkumar413> theadmin: actually what's the problem with USC
[15:26] <dusf_> on restarting my computer i get the output "error: file not found. grub rescue > " and gparted tells me no file systems are allocated but when i boot in a ubuntu live cd i can see my partitions, ( /, /home, win xp, win 7, and dump (media)) - how can i repair grub please?

[15:31] <usr13> omid__: What is the problem?

[15:31] <usr13> omid__: Oh flash.  Sorry
[15:31] <bullgard4> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVFS: "References: # ^ gvfs-mount, man page". Why does Ubuntu 11.10 not provide a gfvs-mount manpage?
[15:31] <|Anthony|> omid__, open ubuntu software center
[15:32] <|Anthony|> and find ubuntu restricted extras
[15:32] <usr13> omid__: Look for it in the package manager.  Do a search for adobe and you should see it.  It will show in the Software Center or Synaptic, either one.
[15:32] <omid__> i cannot see flash in ubuntu software center
[15:32] <omid__> i have installed ubuntu restricted extras . how can i make sure if i have installed flash too
[15:32] <omid__> ?
[15:32] <|Anthony|> omid__, find ubuntu restricted extras
[15:33] <usr13> omid__: That should have done it.

[15:33] <usr13> omid__: Try it and see.  Go to youtube.com and try and play a video
[15:33] <|Anthony|> omid__, open firefox
[15:33] <|Anthony|> click Tools > Manage Content Plugins
[15:34] <usr13> !grub | dusf_
[15:34] <|Anthony|> that will give you a list of what's being used for various content types
[15:34] <stupidmonkey> ok, ive managed to enable compiz, now when i enable it, the window boarders disapear
[15:35] <dusf_> usr13: which link are you directing me to? i am lost
[15:35] <omid__> there is shockwave flash and flash video plugin and iced tea
[15:35] <usr13> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[15:35] <omid__> but why cant i install flash using software center like in 32bit?
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> omid__  look for flash-plugin
[15:36] <Guest59895> you can install it from adobe website
[15:37] <usr13> dusf_: In Software Centre search for Adobe
[15:38] <Yanch0> anyone can please help me set up wpa_supplicant? i am trying to connect to a wep connection. this is the log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/771229/
[15:39] <karmicthreat> Is there any way to manually force a USB device to do a BH reset?  I have a usb touch panel that only works correctly on warm reboot.
[15:39] <usr13> dusf_: Sorry that was for omid
[15:39] <omid__> i found nothing in software center related to adobe or flash
[15:39] <usr13> omid__: In Software Centre search for Adobe.  You should see a package named "
[15:40] <usr13> Adobe Flash Plugin"
[15:40] <omid__> i have downloaded ATI propritary drivers from AMD's official website but it is a .run file . i need help installing it
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> omid__  maybe you need to active a 3rd party repo
[15:40] <omid__> usr13,  i understand what you mean but i dont see such thing
[15:40] <usr13> omid__: Use the package manager for your Video driver as well.
[15:40] <karmicthreat> [p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-
[15:41] <BluesKaj> Yanch0, wep can't be used with wpa_supplicant , wpa is a different encryption system than wep , you'll have to setup your wifi router use wpa first
[15:41] <omid__> MonkeyDust,  i thought its preconfigured. cause i had it in my default repos when on 32bit
[15:41] <usr13> omid__: Try Synaptic
[15:41] <BluesKaj> to use wpa
[15:41] <Guest59895> omid: go to software sources, check multiuniverse , in other software tab, check independent, close, and try again
[15:41] <usr13> omid__: I know it is there....
[15:42] <omid__> usr13,  when i try to install ATI drivers using ubuntu's Additional drivers tool it fails . now i want to install it using AMD's official driver which i have downloaded and previously worked on opensuse.
[15:42] <Yanch0> BluesKaj, are u sure? the sample config on wpa_supplicant project shows it does support wep : http://hostap.epitest.fi/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=hostap.git;a=blob_plain;f=wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
[15:42] <usr13> omid__: Try:  sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin
[15:42] <usr13> from terminal
[15:43] <omid__> can i have both synaptics and ubuntu software center? wont they cause any issue with eachother?
[15:43] <usr13> omid__: Go on and do it then, suit yourself.  (But my advise to you is to let the package manager do it for you.)
[15:44] <usr13> omid__: synaptic and software centre are booth there for you to use
[15:44] <omid__> usr13,  http://paste.kde.org/159482/
[15:44] <Guest59895> omid i suggest you try Linux Mint, the same thing but for absolute beginners and people who doesn't hate propriety  softwares, all media plugins and driver are preinstalled
[15:44] <BluesKaj> Yanch0, well. I've never heard of them working togaether before , I suppose it's possible but I;m sure it's pretty clunky
[15:45] <omid__> Guest59895,  i have downloaded and updated my ubuntu and installed lots of apps all with a connection speed of 10kb/s . its such a pain to remove everything and install a whole new distro
[15:45] <usr13> Guest59895: He has already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras
[15:46] <MonkeyDust> omid__  did you activate the 3rd party source(s)?
[15:46] <Yanch0> any other idea how i can connect to it then BluesKaj - the only connection thiscard accepts is wep
[15:47] <usr13> Guest59895: And it's not helpful to instruct someone to use another distro.  If they have come to #ubuntu, they are asking for help with Ubuntu, (not wanting to install another distro).
[15:47] <prof> Yanch0: did u try connecting without any security first?
[15:47] <omid__> MonkeyDust,  in software sources i have 2 options enabled. the first one is "Independent : provided by third-party developers" and the second one is its source code
[15:47] <Yanch0> prof this used to work when connecting from network manager
[15:48] <Guest59895> yes usr13, but I always concern people have bad impression with their first experience with Linux, it was the reason I suggest Mint, it has GUI for all settings as well
[15:48] <omid__> i have some experience with OpenSUSE and its lovely yast but because of some wireless problems in its latest releasE(12.1) i moved to ubuntu. right now ubuntu is the only OS i have installed
[15:48] <MonkeyDust> omid__  sudo apt-get update to load the sources
[15:48] <Palace_Chan> how come i dont see this process under jobs command after this bash script kicks it off? (the process does exist if i check with top)
[15:48] <prof> while using WEP?

[15:49] <omid__> MonkeyDust,when i installed ubuntu the preconfigured download server was the server of Iran. i changed that to the server of the United states.

[15:49] <agentgasmask> Hi all. I'm having trouble loging into gnome. I get my pannels loaded, and background set, but it just sits there with the "hour-glass" thing spinning. I didn't change anything from when it was working yesterday. Are there some logs to check? Or can I make gnome rebuild a config file or something?
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> omid__  nice, but did you do sudo apt-get upate
[15:49] <omid__> usr13,  i dont have it
[15:50] <omid__> MonkeyDust,  i did a full system update after that
[15:50] <agentgasmask> Also, gnome-terminal doesn't run from within Fluxbox (which is what I

[15:51] <omid__> thankyou guys . i updated and now have those options
[15:51] <MonkeyDust> \o/
[15:51] <dusf_> please help me
[15:51] <omid__> please help me in installing ATI propritary Drivers using .run installer from AMD website. (i had problems with installing my drivers using ubuntu's additional drivers tool)
[15:52] <usr13> omid__: I thought those would have been enabled when you installed restricted-extras and not sure why not....
[15:52] <dusf_> on restarting my computer i get the output "error: file not found. grub rescue > " and gparted tells me no file systems are allocated but when i boot in a ubuntu live cd i can see my partitions, ( /, /home, win xp, win 7, and dump (media)) - how can i repair grub please?
[15:52] <usr13> omid__: Now that you have restricted enabled, you can do it through the package manager.
[15:52] <omid__> usr13,  maybe because i changed the download server manually
[15:53] <omid__> usr13,  when i tried installing additional drivers on 32 bit it faild and showed errors . then i moved to 64 bit and now i want to install the drivers
[15:53] <omid__> i have downloaded the official drivers from AMD's website.
[15:53] <omid__> arent they safe? isnt AMD website safe?
[15:53] <usr13> omid__: System -> Aditional Drivers
[15:54] <jutnux> \o everybody
[15:54] <usr13> omid__: Go on and do it then, suit yourself.  (But my advise to you is to let the package manager do it for you.)
[15:55] <usr13> omid__: You are always better off to use the package manager and there are several reasons why.
[15:55] <omid__> there is 2 options. one is ATI/AMD propritary FGLRX graphics driver(post-release updates) and the other one is ATI/AMD propritary FGLRX graphics driver.
[15:55] <omid__> which one should i install?
[15:55] <MonkeyDust> lol
[15:55] <omid__> i hope i dont get that error this time
[15:56] <usr13> omid__: hope you dont either.
[15:56] <soreau> omid__: You dont need to install the proprietary driver at all since the default is the open radeon driver
[15:56] <omid__> which one should i install?
[15:56] <usr13> omid__: I dono
[15:56] <omid__> soreau,  i'm sorry to say that but opensource drivers for ATI cards SUCK BIG TIME. too much system heat and power usage for me
[15:56] <usr13> Just pick one
[15:57] <meganerd> omid__: you should not need to install either if you have recent enough hardware
[15:57] <omid__> ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500
[15:57] <soreau> omid__: You can choose deferent power profiles for the driver
[15:57] <meganerd> omid__: the radeon driver works great on my 5770 and 4890
[15:57] <Peachez> Hi. I was messing with startup applications and broke something. I can only boot with terminal. How do I navigate to the file where startup data is contained. Thanks in advance :)
[15:57] <omid__> can you guys please help me which one of the drivers should i install
[15:58] <meganerd> omid__: better than the fglrx driver
[15:58] <omid__> there is 2 options. one is ATI/AMD propritary FGLRX graphics driver(post-release updates) and the other one is ATI/AMD propritary FGLRX graphics driver.
[15:58] <MonkeyDust> omid__  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[15:58] <omid__> meganerd,  for me they sucked
[15:58] <omid__> thankyou guys . i'll try
[15:58] <meganerd> I could not get three monitors working with the fglrx driver, with the radeon one it worked out of the box
[15:59] <meganerd> omid__: what did not work?
[16:00] <usr13> Peachez: Not sure what you've done so would be hard to say.
[16:00] <omid__> meganerd,  too much system heat , fan noise and power usage when using opensource drivers. also some games like Glest and Quack arena were slower compared to when using FGLRX drivers
[16:00] <usr13> omid__: So install "ATI/AMD propritary FGLRX graphics driver"  See how it works.
[16:01] <omid__> thnx i'm installing it . i hope it dosnt fail
[16:01] <meganerd> omid__: how did you test the heat and noise?  I noticed no difference on either of my cards (the 4890 is a jet engine at the best of times)
[16:01] <omid__> thankyou guys for your help
[16:01] <Peachez> In that case, have you any idea where the file will be that contains the startup application data so i can have a look to remove it?
[16:01] <usr13> omid__: As I said before, I hope it doesn't either.
[16:01] <omid__> meganerd,  its something that i could feel.maybe it was just my experience and they worked well on your machine.
[16:01] <orated> How to find HDD details in terms of manufacturer, size, sectors etc? I see partition manager giving details of HDD but it doesn't mention manufacturer. Is there any command like dmidecode for HDD?

[16:03] <undefined0> iceroot, thanks :)
[16:03] <usr13> Peachez: If we knew what services you dissabled, we might be able to give you more specific advise, but otherwise... ???
[16:05] <Peachez> I didnt disable one, i am new to linux/ubuntu and i wanted to start an application/service on startup (not a default application). I guess I added it wrong and now can only use terminal (cant even reach login screen)
[16:05] <sparr> I am seeing multiple Wx-based apps die at the same time with the following assertion: Gtk:ERROR:/build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.24.6/gtk/gtkfilesystemmodel.c:746:gtk_file_system_model_sort: assertion failed: (r == n_visible_rows)
[16:06] <yoyoyo_> Hi-ya.. I'm brand new to this space, how do I get a list of groups I can chat with
[16:06] <BluesKaj> Yanch0, i suggest you use an ethernet connection , much better and it connects before the login without needing any configuration
[16:06] <usr13> Peachez: If we knew what you did, we might be able to give you some specific advise.
[16:06] <usr13> Peachez: But you could try:  sudo service gdm start
[16:08] <Yanch0> not an option im afraid .. has to be wifi
[16:08] <usr13> Peachez: If you could give us some specific details about what you've done, we might be able to give you specific advise on how to undue it.
[16:08] <BluesKaj> Yanch0, whynot?
[16:09] <usr13> Peachez: Did you follow instructions from some website?  Or...?
[16:10] <Peachez> gdm service is already running. I wanted Sabnzbd to run at startup, so i went to startup applications and pasteted in the path to what i thought would run it, i cant remember off the top of my head what the exact line was, as i now cant get in, i will restart my linux machine and give the exact message on screen, one moment
[16:10] <Yanch0> BluesKaj, no network cable and not much bothered to do ethernet over power when it is next room to the wifi router. when it works it has a 80% signal quality
[16:11] <BluesKaj> Yanch0, is the server headless ?
[16:11] <eduardos> \q
[16:12] <Peachez> *checking battery state..... OK. Stopping system V runlevel compatibility OK... Starting netBIOS name server
[16:12] <Peachez> its stuck on that at the moment
[16:13] <usr13> Peachez: You should find  sabnzbdplus  in the package manager.  (If you use the package manager to install, you have far fewer problems.)
[16:14] <usr13> Peachez: Or DID you install sabnzbd from the package manager?
[16:14] <Peachez> i installed sabnzbdplus following the guide on their wiki a few days ago, but as im using this machine as a server i wanted to it run automatically, hence playing around.
[16:14] <omid__> how can i find which graphic drivers i'm using ? a command or something
[16:14] <pneftali> hi guys, question - i'm trying to set sublime-text-2 as my default text-editor when i open files in filezilla. i can't seem to find the bin file for it in the /usr/bin folder... i tried locate too but no luck. anyone knows the way to set it ?
[16:14] <Peachez> It's been running fine for days, its just since i attempted to add it to startup apps
[16:14] <theadmin> omid__: lsmod will list loaded drivers... Might be helpful
[16:15] <usr13> Peachez: Is this it?:    http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/install-ubuntu-repo
[16:15] <erictest> hallo ik heb een probleem met flash iemand die me kan helpen ben nuwbie
[16:15] <theadmin> pneftali: which BINARYNAME will tell you where BINARYNAME is located, if it starts when you type it in as a command
[16:15] <theadmin> erictest: English, please
[16:15] <Peachez> correct usr13
[16:15] <theadmin> erictest: Also, "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer"
[16:15] <deej1976> !nl | erictest
[16:15] <omid__> theadmin,  that'll load lots of options which i dont know what's the graphic one
[16:16] <Yanch0> BluesKaj, no .. it will be connected to a TV later on
[16:16] <erictest> tnx
[16:16] <usr13> Peachez: If you look at the top of that page, you'll see the date is  "2008"  (3 years ago....)
[16:16] <soreau> omid__: lsmod|egrep "radeon|fglrx"
[16:16] <omid__> how can i install adobe acrobat reader
[16:17] <soreau> omid__: You dont need adobe products to view pdf documents
[16:17] <pneftali> theadmin, yeah - i did sublime-text-2 in the command line and the editor opened.. but when i type locate sublime-text-2 nothing returns
[16:17] <Peachez> maybe, but as stated, its worked flawlessly for 4 days, only now when i messed soemthing up i nthe application startup has it broke
[16:17] <theadmin> pneftali: I tell you, "which sublime-text-2"
[16:17] <usr13> Peachez:  Some of what that page tells you to do may be un-necessary for today's Ubuntu systems.
[16:17] <theadmin> pneftali: This is a command, run it
[16:17] <caotic_> omid__: adobe acrobat is a brand of pdf readers, which does not provide a linux version reader AFAIK
[16:18] <omid__> soreau,  i need them . evince sucks and okular is good but they dont show complicated PDF files like 3d pdfs and pdf's containing audio which i use in my job
[16:18] <omid__> caotic_,  in opensuse i had adobe reader
[16:18] <Peachez> well i added repo, updated, installed, and then ran
[16:18] <magnold> if I connect a TV to the HDMI out at the graphics card as a second monitor, I assume it will use 60Hz and 1920×1080? will it still be possible to have the screens Cloned (same image on both screen) ? will it just cut off some pixels at the bottom, and have some more to the right? I use 1600x1200 @75Hz on my computer monitor (crt).
[16:18] <soreau> omid__: If you think everything sucks, go use some other os
[16:18] <usr13> Peachez: Well, if you could tell us specifically what you did to try and add it to startups, we might be able to give you specific advise as to how to undue what you've done.
[16:18] <deej1976> omid__: try sudo apt-get install acroread
[16:19] <Peachez> im trying to find the page where i got the info from
[16:19] <caotic_> omid__: or google acrobar linux  that may trow some ligth in the matter
[16:19] <erictest> !nl
[16:19] <omid__> soreau,  nonsense. just because an app is not good dosnt mean that the Whole OS is bad.
[16:19] <pneftali> theadmin, it points to /usr/bin/sublime-text-2 ... and that's exactly what i inputed in the file zilla file type association option.. but somehow it doesnt work..
[16:19] <omid__> i removed my geniune windows 7 and installed linux
[16:20] <deej1976> omid__: try sudo apt-get install acroread
[16:20] <caotic_> omid__: please ignore soreu's comment
[16:20] <usr13> Peachez: But looking at that page now, I see that mostly it is ok or good advise.  Nothing there that would break your system.
[16:20] <soreau> omid__: get lost
[16:20] <deej1976> !attitude | soreau:
[16:20] <omid__> and i'm a free software believer but i also need to do my job. some of my university books and work documents only work well in adobe reader. when ubuntu provides adobe reader for me why not using it
[16:20] <usr13> Peachez: Yea, if you could find where you got instructions for adding it to startup we might be able to see what has been done.
[16:20] <Peachez> yeah, it's probably mindlessly pasting stuff into startup apps that has broke it, i just got very impatient after trying various methods and rebooting several times.
[16:20] <soreau> deej1976: To hell with you too
[16:21] <BluesKaj> Yanch0, is the pc in the next room a "windows" machine , I assume since the router is located there due to another pc being connected to it
[16:21] <Peachez> "Now just add the following line to your Ubuntu startup programs and you’ll have this start up everytime you log into Ubuntu: /home/adam/bin/SABnzbd-0.5.0/SABnzbd.py -d -f /home/adam/.sabnzbd.sabnzbd.ini"
[16:21] <omid__> soreau,  i'm sorry if i made you angry. i didnt wanted to do that. please be polite. there is no need to fight
[16:22] <usr13> Peachez: You might just try this:  sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade
[16:22] <Peachez> but changed the username and version
[16:22] <Yanch0> yes BluesKaj
[16:22] <pneftali> theadmin, i got it. thanks :)
[16:22] <deej1976> soreau: Sorry, I quite like helping people in here, I'm not going anywhere
[16:22] <omid__> E: Unable to locate package acroread
[16:22] <soreau> deej1976: omid__: Quit talking to me now
[16:22] <soreau> you guys dont know what the hell youre talking about
[16:22] <deej1976> ???
[16:23] <omid__> soreau, anyway i didnt wanted to fight with you. i'm sorry
[16:23] <soreau> omid__: I SAID QUIT TALKING TO ME
[16:23] <Travis-42> In Ubuntu 11.10, I can't get custom key bindings to launch applications. Any one experience this?
[16:23] <deej1976> omid__: You will need to enable the partner repo
[16:23] <usr13> Peachez: Where did you get that quoted sentence from?
[16:23] <auronandace> omid__: have you tried evince?
[16:24] <Peachez> some shiftly looking website admittedly
[16:24] <omid__> auronandace,  yes but i find a better pdf reader named Okular which is Way better in my opinion. but i still need adobe reader to view 3d pdf's (my job requires some of them) and pdf's containing audio
[16:24] <magnold> Travis-42: you mean like those extra rubber keys on the keyboard?
[16:25] <Peachez> googling 'ubuntu sabnzbd startup' and it's adam smith - not sure if can link
[16:25] <Travis-42> magnold, no, I mean when I go to settings -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts, and enter custom shortcuts. They seem to be ignored.
[16:25] <auronandace> omid__: i see, okular is a kde app (i'm not a big pdf user)
[16:25] <BluesKaj> Yanch0, then why not move the router to the same room as the server and connect it by ethernet , then set up the windows machine in the next room using the wifi card. assuming you have a dsl or cable connection the server room .
[16:25] <usr13> omid__: You should be able to install Adobe Acrobat's acroread   I'm pretty sure it's available for Ubuntu 64bit.
[16:26] <agentgasmask> Hi all. I can't log into gnome. Running in a different window manager (fluxbox) I can't launch any gnome configuration programs. They launch, but they just grey out. Namely gconf-editor, and gnome-session-properties.
[16:26] <omid__> deej1976,  you mean Canonical partners: software packaged by canonical for their partners ?
[16:26] <usr13> omid__: sudo apt-get install acroread
[16:26] <agentgasmask> there is also a few of theses line in syslog: gnome-session[2381]: WARNING: Could not launch application 'Screenlets%20Daemon.desktop': Unable to start application: Failed to execute child process
[16:26] <agentgasmask> "/usr/share/screenlets-manager/screenlets-daemon.py" (No such file or directory)
[16:26] <dusf_> if fdisk lists a partition you want to install grub to as sda6
[16:26] <dusf_> would you change the grub command root (hd0,0) to root (sda,6)?
[16:26] <deej1976> omid__: Can you see what Software Source you have available ?
[16:26] <omid__> usr13,  E: Unable to locate package acroread
[16:26] <auronandace> !partner | omid__
[16:26] <omid__> deej1976,  yeah . i'm enabling them

[16:27] <omid__> software sources/other software/ canonical partners & canonical partners (source code)

[16:27] <Scrivnr> How can I customize the Unity launcher such that an icon appearing in it, when clicked, will run a custom command? Currently I have something running just as unpackaged source, and the launcher actually doesn't seem to launch it when I do "keep in launcher" and try to start it later. I figure if I can just give it a custom command to run the executable, it'll work.
[16:27] <theadmin> dusf_: No... that'd be (hd0,6)
[16:28] <Peachez> Starting CUPS printing spooler/server OK, stopping system v runlevel compativility OK --- and now it's just doing nothing
[16:29] <soreau> Yanch0: Are you trying to connect manually via CLI instead of using network manager?
[16:29] <Unguided> Hello all. Does anyone know of a graphical interface for dhcp?
[16:29] <Scrivnr> I'm fairly iffy over the lack of easily accessible configuration in Unity...
[16:29] <Unguided> Hello all. Does anyone know of a graphical interface for dhcp server?
[16:29] <soreau> ! repeat | Unguided
[16:29] <dusf_> theadmin: it's telling me file not found
[16:29] <MonkeyDust> Scrivnr  120.04 comes with myUnity, a config tool
[16:29] <omid__> thankyou guys. i enabled partner repo and am installing adobe reader. you guys are awesome
[16:29] <dusf_> theadmin: Checking if "/boot/grub/stage1" exists... no
[16:29] <BluesKaj> Yanch0, well sorry I have no idea how to set that up ..difficult to find any documentation either maybe some one will come along who has some knowledge about your wifi project , good luck !
[16:30] <dusf_> theadmin:  Checking if "/grub/stage1" exists... no
[16:30] <Scrivnr> MonkeyDust: 120.04?
[16:30] <soreau> Unguided: I dont even think a dhcp gui would make sense
[16:30] <auronandace> Scrivnr: you don't have to use unity
[16:30] <theadmin> dusf_: You don't have to paste everything to me, I see... Just a sec
[16:30] <dusf_> theadmin: Error 15: File not found
[16:30] <dusf_> kk
[16:30] <Scrivnr> auronandace: I would still like to for now. My problem isn't unity itself. I just want to be able to stick custom commands to the icons in the launcher.
[16:31] <Scrivnr> With Gnome 3 sucking everywhere else (except maybe with Mint 12's MGSE), Unity may end up being the only way forward, anyways. And KDE, ofc.
[16:31] <Unguided> soreau: im looking for an interface like you would see on a hardware router. im a newb with linux and not very good at the command line
[16:31] <Scrivnr> I'm giving it a spin. So is there no easy way for me to add my own launcher commands?
[16:31] <auronandace> Scrivnr: as long as you know that there are alternatives :) (i'm a happy xfce user)
[16:32] <deej1976> Scrivnr: can you give an example of the command your would like to add
[16:32] <Scrivnr> Yup! I'm well aware =) I encouraged friends to use classic mode when 11.04 came out. I was *far from impressed* with Unity at that time.
[16:32] <soreau> Unguided: Im not sure something like that exists though it wouldnt surprise me. Maybe try ##linux or ##networking
[16:32] <Scrivnr> Some headaches have been fixed for 11.10, though.
[16:32] <Unguided> Ok. Thanks
[16:32] <Scrivnr> deej1976: I would like to add something like /folder/folder/executable
[16:32] <Scrivnr> Simply running an executable file.
[16:33] <Scrivnr> Or maybe a script/python file/other in some cases.
[16:34] <Scrivnr> deej1976: I have Forticlient SSL VPN for linux, which just comes as an executable you extract. Currently I navigate to a folder to start it, as I can't start it from the launcher (even if it's running and I select "keep in launcher" it will not launch by clicking the icon).
[16:34] <usr13> Peachez: Edit the file that you placed the command in and delete the line you added.
[16:34] <ikonia> Scrivnr: I suspect that may be a bug within unity
[16:34] <Scrivnr> Btw: If any of ya get frustrated with trying to get IPsec ssh connections to work easily in Ubuntu, forticlient is very good and simple.
[16:35] <Scrivnr> ikonia: But whether it's a bug or not, if I can simply add my own command to an icon in the launcher it would be good.
[16:35] <Peachez> well this is the issue, i added it to the startup applications via the gui, now i cant even get to the login screen, so i need to know where the startup information is located so i can edit via terminal
[16:35] <usr13> Scrivnr: forticlient?
[16:35] <ikonia> Scrivnr: right click on the launcher, find the target see if it is a file that is editible
[16:35] <Scrivnr> I don't know if it launches anything that wasn't fully installed from source/with a package manager. This is the first thing I've used so far like this.
