[20:37] <DeviceZer0> Acid190, i did...but i did not fully do it. it prompted me to update both packages which i did not do.
[20:37] <matteppii> DemoOn: try sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
[20:37] <matteppii> DemoOn: to stop it
[20:37] <Acid190> DeviceZero: yup, well, I have three that will not install. So, awesome:)
[20:38] <ThinkT510> Shawn_: maverick meerkat
[20:38] <Acid190> Kinda tough to complain about open source though
[20:38] <matteppii> DemoOn: to turn off autostart do --> run update-rc.d -f apache2 remove
[20:38] <Shawn_> ThinkT510, And then what
[20:38] <ThinkT510> !11.04
[20:38] <DeviceZer0> yea.
[20:39] <aeon-ltd> mar: it wouldn't be a dead pixel if you could catch it, i'd just kill the panel and restart or move a mouse over it - anything to refresh that area
[20:39] <ubunwho> it seems google only shows results from 2008 and earlier any more, so i am here asking whats up with language-selector & language-selector-common on fresh install ?
[20:40] <matteppii> will a deamon autorestart in crash?
[20:41] <astrostl> i'm getting different results from a dpkg-query of ${Maintainer} than i am with an aptitude search for %m.  both of these are supposed to be the same thing, but the return differs on a given package.  any ideas?
[20:41] <rizzuh_laptop> I have a Lucid VM that is configured only with root, sudo is installed but apparently there's go group to it. How do I configure it and allow a user to use sudo, so I can disable root?
[20:41] <Hans_Henrik> i need a script/program that constantly checks connection to the internet, and logs whenever its lost. any1 know a script/program to recommend?
[20:42] <rizzuh_laptop> Hans_Henrik, nagions - standard monitoring software.
[20:42] <rizzuh_laptop> Hans_Henrik, *nagios
[20:42] <__Alex_> rizzuh_laptop: as root, type 'visudo'
[20:43] <rizzuh_laptop> __Alex_, right, what do I change there?
[20:43] <Hans_Henrik> rizzuh_laptop: can it be used from a shell?
[20:43] <ubunwho> http://dpaste.org/70T7/  language-selector broke, i only installed this machine 10 minutes ago
[20:43] <jqke> rizzuh_laptop: sudo adduser <name> admin
[20:43] <rizzuh_laptop> Hans_Henrik, yeah
[20:44] <rizzuh_laptop> jqke, admin group doesn'r even exist :| this is a weirdly configured VM
[20:44] <__Alex_> rizzuh_laptop: do you see the line starting with 'root'? One line lover, type the exact same, and replace 'root' with your username
[20:44] <__Alex_> rizzuh_laptop: Then it should work
[20:45] <LAcan> can someone help me with the error: aclocal: macro `AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' required but not defined
[20:46] <Hans_Henrik> rizzuh_laptop: is the VM supposed to be some "hardened" distro?
[20:46] <wollex> huhu
[20:46] <ubunwho> great job ubuntu - language selector fails, because language-selector-common fails... which causes ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-standard to fail.. outstanding job.. well done
[20:46] <rizzuh_laptop> Hans_Henrik, nope. Standard Lucid setup, but I suppose they use root cause it's autogenerated, and the system generates a default root password.
[20:46] <matteppii> There is a script to auto rerun a prgram on crash?
[20:46] <bastidrazor> rizzuh_laptop: you're not using an Ubuntu Lucid.. it does not have root account enabled and sudo would be in the admin group
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> ubunwho: do you tinks thats constructive?
[20:47] <bastidrazor> rizzuh_laptop: then that is not a standard lucid install. where did you get the ISO to install it to the VM?
[20:47] <ubunwho> ActionParsnip:  certainly, if there is a wider issue, then it should be known
[20:47] <LAcan> can anyone help me with autoconf/libtool/automake? I keep getting this error: aclocal: macro `AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' required but not defined
[20:47] <pradeep> how can u use linux as a server to control virus and optimum usage on a windows network
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> ubunwho: then you should log a bug, not rant pointlessly in an irc channel
[20:47] <ubunwho> ActionParsnip: you can pack your emotions back into your lunch pale
[20:47] <__Alex_> matteppii: You need to write one yourself!
[20:47] <lwizardl> hello
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> ubunwho: logging bugs does something, making noise here doesn't
[20:48] <ThinkT510> !attitude | ubunwho
[20:48] <ubunwho> ActionParsnip: it got you aroused.  off to work.  bye
[20:48] <matteppii> __Alex_ i don't know how! can you give me some help?
[20:48] <rizzuh_laptop> bastidrazor, you don't get an ISO, you select an image. They're made by the host - VPS.net.
[20:48] <Hans_Henrik> ubunwho: while 1 call program   --something? :p
[20:48] <matteppii> __Alex_: i don't know how! can you give me some help?
[20:48] <lwizardl> has anyone installed CineFX aka Jahshaka under ubuntu 10/11?
[20:48] <LAcan> hey I can diss ubuntu to get attention too!
[20:48] <LAcan> man ubuntu is so wack, i keep getting aclocal: macro `AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' required but not defined
[20:48] <ActionParsnip> lwizardl: natty is offtopic here so if you are asking about natty I suggest you ask in #ubuntu+1
[20:48] <LAcan> what a turd!
[20:48] <rizzuh_laptop> bastidrazor, they do have some customizations for the kernel (so they can support resizing VMs without rebooting and so on), but this is unexpected and weird.
[20:49] <LAcan> lol
[20:49] <bastidrazor> rizzuh_laptop: then you should contact them for support. the lucid install you're using is not standard.
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> LAcan: have you searched the forums and such?
[20:49] <LAcan> ActionParsnip, ya, quite a bit
[20:49] <__Alex_> matteppii: Hey! I'm not an Encyklopedia! learn schripting and write you'r schript!
[20:49] <rizzuh_laptop> bastidrazor, ChmEarl in #ubuntu-server gave me a script to get this sorted.
[20:49] <bastidrazor> rizzuh_laptop: good deal. best of luck.
[20:50] <rizzuh_laptop> bastidrazor, thanks
[20:50] <matteppii> __Alex_: sorry i just wanted some help
[20:50] <lwizardl> ActionParsnip, well if you read the post it said 10/11 so that would be the same as directly asking "in 10 or 11) aka 10.04,10.10, or 11.04 (which 11.04 is not officially released so 10(04 or 10) would be the common versions
[20:51] <guntbert> LAcan: acting up won't get you support
[20:51] <LAcan> lol, was a joke
[20:51] <Kevb> Hello, I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 and now my sound will not work at all
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> lwizardl: so why ask about natty if it is offtopic?
[20:52] <Hans_Henrik> Kevb: sudo apt-get install jockey-gtk;sudo jockey-gtk;  do any good?
[20:52] <LAcan> kev; i have the same problem but you can google it. i bet your headphones work
[20:52] <__Alex_> matteppii: What's helpable on making scripts? Just let you'r imagination and create the script
[20:52] <Aftermath> hey guys, im noticing ubuntu 10.10 keeps crashing, it will freeze, and i can either move the mouse and nothing work, or the mouse wont even move
[20:52] <silver1882> I rebuilt my kernel, and I was wondering is there a way to have ubuntu use those setting whenever I get a new kernel update or do I need it rebuild it every time?
[20:52] <lwizardl> ActionParsnip, maybe because this is a channel for Ubuntu and since lots of people download and try out the beta's also, and since 11.04 is a build upon 10.10 it would be something people have done
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> lwizardl: I suggest you leave the natty bits out, keeps the channel ontopic
[20:53] <__Alex_> Aftermath: Have you tryed to 'CRTL+ALT+F1-6'?
[20:53] <Aftermath> __Alex_, what does that do
[20:53] <__Alex_> Multitasking
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> lwizardl: if you want support on the beta, it's not here is all I'm saying :)
[20:53] <lwizardl> ActionParsnip, if your not knowledgeable on the application then don't try to sound smart and be a mini-mod
[20:53] <ThinkT510> lwizardl: theres a reason the topic mentions where you can get 11.04 support
[20:53] <pradeep> please i need help
[20:53] <ActionParsnip> lwizardl: everyone should keep everyone on topic
[20:53] <LAcan> whatsup pradeep
[20:54] <matteppii> pradeep: don't think you can run a win antivirus, on ubuntu
[20:54] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | lwizardl: there may be a ppa
[20:54] <Kevb> Still does not work, I notice if I turn them up really loud i can hear faint noises
[20:54] <lwizardl> ThinkT510, did I ask if anyone in here was using the 11.04 no! I asked about an application. I asked if anyone has tried the program.
[20:54] <Galvatron> Kevb: On a right side of upper pane you have a sound icon. Click it first with the left button and make sure it is not set to 0%, then with the right and check if it's not muted.
[20:54] <LAcan> Kevb, console alsa-mixer
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> LAcan: when do you get the error?
[20:55] <LAcan> ActionParsnip, trying to build Barry
[20:55] <lwizardl> ThinkT510, if you do a google search for the application I was talking about nothing seems to be found since 9.04 so asking for questions on a application in here is ontop
[20:55] <Galvatron> Aftermath: Are those crashes completely random, or do they occure in certain situations?
[20:55] <ActionParsnip> LAcan<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[20:55] <LAcan> ActionParsnip, which is called in a build script by the author
[20:56] <ActionParsnip> LAcan: seems they are using an older autoconf (or something)
[20:56] <ozan> hello
[20:56] <stefano> hi men, one question, it's wrong create a deb with dpkg-deb --build?
[20:56] <torchie> how do you change ownership of a folder and everything inside of it in nautilus?
[20:56] <Afteraffekt> hey guys, im noticing ubuntu 10.10 keeps crashing, it will freeze, and i can either move the mouse and nothing work, or the mouse wont even move
[20:56] <lwizardl> ActionParsnip, again if you took the time to read that question you will see I asked about 10 first and then 11 second. so that was more a possible tack on since that will be the current version in 9 days or so
[20:56] <LAcan> ActionParsnip, ya I read that already and it doesnt include a fix
[20:56] <LAcan> torchie, u have to enable adnaced file permissions
[20:56] <Galvatron> Afteraffekt: Are those crashes completely random, or do they occure in certain situations?
[20:56] <mehmetali> hi. ksoftirqd/7 cpu time is 517 hours. Is high cpu temp cause that problem?
[20:56] <LAcan> torchie; i suggest Tweak Ubuntu
[20:57] <torchie> is that in the nautilus preferences?
[20:57] <Galvatron> Afteraffekt: Sorry, I adressed someone else accidentally ;)
[20:57] <ActionParsnip> lwizardl: it's still offtopic, even 1 day before release
[20:57] <Kevb> I wonder if this sound card is even support, fairly old computer
[20:57] <LAcan> torchie, im sure you can do it manualy, but Ubuntu Tweak will do it easily
[20:57] <Afteraffekt> Galvatron, it is hard to tell, Im using macbuntu transformation - and compiz, and cairo dock, its happened once going over the dock, and once trying to open a tab in chrome, and once clicking xchat
[20:57] <torchie> what and where is ubuntu tweak
[20:57] <LAcan> u can get it from the Software Centre
[20:57] <torchie> alright
[20:57] <lwizardl> i'm just going to add you ActionParsnip to my ignore list.
[20:57] <torchie> why isn't something like this enabled by default :o
[20:58] <Galvatron> Afteraffekt: What video card do you have?
[20:58] <cyclist_2> Hello, there! why this happens and how can I solve it? I have several SD cards but one ocuppies the SD card slot most of the time [there is only one on my PC]; whenever I remove this SD card and insert another, Ubuntu will not acknowledge its existence; I am acostumed to reboot in such occasions, but I want to fix this once and for all; furthermore, if I reinsert the first SD card, Ubuntu does not 'see it' either! I tried mounting it but ge
[20:58] <LAcan> torchie, so newbs dont rubuics cube their installs
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> torchie: if the files are all owned by you then running it then assigning ownership should work, if not then yo may be able to use: gksudo nautilus    but I'm unsure if the ownership can be given to others. You could just use chown, much easier
[20:58] <lwizardl> people either answer the question if they know the answer or the don't comment which seems to be too smart for some people here
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> lwizardl: be my guest
[20:58] <Afteraffekt> cyclist_2, try unmounting the card in ubuntu before removing the first card
[20:58] <ohsix> torchie: and best case scenario it's never needed by the average user
[20:58] <ActionParsnip> lwizardl: I gave you a helpful link via ubottu, you obviously have checked that, right
[20:58] <Galvatron> Kevb: I told you already what to check first. You might also type "alsamixer" in terminal.
[20:58] <Soothsayer_> anyone using office 2007 under wine ?
[20:59] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer_: checked the appdb?
[20:59] <torchie> I've got a folder that I transferred from my osx drive, and it was marked for root ownership and everything inside of it too
[20:59] <Afteraffekt> Galvatron, so i am using the restricted ati drivers for my 3200 HD
[20:59] <LAcan> can anyone help me with "aclocal: macro `AM_PROG_MKDIR_P' required but not defined"
[20:59] <torchie> which is leading to permissions issues with git
[21:00] <pradeep> i want to knw whether i can make the linux a server
[21:00] <ActionParsnip> torchie: then run:  sudo chown -R $USER:USER folder    and it will assign to the user running the command (assuming it can use sudo)
[21:00] <ohsix> LAcan: your aclocal macros are out of date or missing
[21:00] <OldPete> torchie: Is there a specific reason you don't just use chown?
[21:00] <pradeep> so as to check any packet person tru
[21:00] <torchie> I didn't think I'd have to if there were controls to change permissions in the graphical interface
[21:00] <cyclist_2> Afteraffekt: I believe it is not mounted anymore; the mounting point exists but there is nothing there; I did unmount it when I removed the SD card the first time, though
[21:01] <Kevb> sucks, alsa doesnt even list this sound card, no wonder
[21:01] <LAcan> ohsix, But I just installed them all!
[21:01] <bastidrazor> pradeep: 'tasksel' will aid you in this.
[21:01] <ActionParsnip> torchie: it's far easier to use and advise in cli ;)
[21:01] <Galvatron> Afteraffekt: Radeons are not famous for getting along well with Linux. After a crash, are you able to kill X, or switch to terminal with Alt + Ctrl + F1?
[21:01] <Afteraffekt> cyclist_2, so you middle clicked, or right clicked the mounted sd card and clicked unmount? if the mount point is still there it wasnt unmounted
[21:01] <LAcan> torchie; take my word for it. tweak ubuntu is a gui that will let u fix nautilus
[21:01] <ohsix> LAcan: whatever you're building needs new ones, they're also cached in the package
[21:01] <Afteraffekt> Galvatron, i havent tried that, i will next time it happens
[21:02] <Afteraffekt> if it allows me to, its probably x crashing correct?
[21:02] <torchie> if that was the case we would be better off just dumping all graphical interfaces eh
[21:02] <LAcan> ohsix, so how can I get these new ones?
[21:02] <ohsix> LAcan: learn to use autotools :O
[21:02] <torchie> software center isn't opening all of a sudden, it's chown time
[21:02] <BKTech86> hi, is there anyway to jailbreak ios 4.3 in ubuntu yet?
[21:02] <Galvatron> Afteraffekt:Probably.  Switching to terminal might be especially usefull, as there might be some error-related output.
[21:03] <ThinkT510> BKTech86: not supported here
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> torchie: the cli is where a LOT of linux's power lies, it can automate and do things the gui stuff can only dream about
[21:03] <gregL> torchie: Run sudo nautilus,then browse to the folder,then right click,then permissions,then choose include all files contained in folder..
[21:03] <cyclist_2> Afteraffekt: no; I used the 'safely remove drive' feature; that did remove the mounting point; later, I had to recreate it to mount the other SD card
[21:03] <ohsix> BKTech86: if there was, you'd hear of it from the people making the tools to do it
[21:03] <bastidrazor> gregL: gksudo for graphical applications.
[21:03] <ActionParsnip> gregL: gksudo nautilus    DON'T advise users use sudo with nautilus please
[21:03] <LAcan> ohsix, thats not gonna happen quickly enough, lol
[21:03] <Afteraffekt> Galvatron, i hadnt tried, def try again
[21:03] <torchie> i tried sudo nautilus earlier to no avail
[21:03] <Afteraffekt> cyclist_2, have you been able to mount the other cards successfully?
[21:03] <torchie> huh there's a different sudo for graphical applications eh
[21:04] <torchie> gonna have to remember that
[21:04] <bastidrazor> torchie: change it in terminal.. much easier.
[21:04] <torchie> I've been sudo nautilusing
[21:04] <gregL> bastidrazor, ActionParsnip sure no problem..
[21:04] <BKTech86> ThinkT510, ohsix: thanks
[21:04] <ohsix> ActionParsnip: to be more correct, don't tell people to run (gk)sudo ssh -X to log in to a remote machine as root w/x forwarding
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> torchie: you can use gksudo for both if you want, sudo doesn't setup the environment correctly and will cause issues
[21:04] <ohsix> :[
[21:04] <Kevb> any othr suggestions on what to do about this sound issue?
[21:04] <ActionParsnip> ohsix: it can also bork ownership of ~/.ICEAuthority
[21:05] <ohsix> if you run something that maninpulates your credentials, like ssh -X
[21:05] <Galvatron> Kevb: Have you already chceck sound optiond and alsamixer I'd mentiones?
[21:05] <Kevb> Yes I have
[21:05] <torchie> so would I sudo chown -R root:username /dir ?
[21:05] <Galvatron> *mentioned
[21:05] <cyclist_2> Afteraffekt: well, only the USB variety; right now I have a pen drive that is automatically recognised whenever I reinsert it; the SD card reader [built-in] is the one giving me grief
[21:05] <OldPete> torchie: sudo chown -R username:group
[21:06] <torchie> group?
[21:06] <ohsix> it's nothing about setting up the environment either; sayingg use gksudo for gui apps suffices, no need to disseminate bad information
[21:06] <bastidrazor> torchie: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /path/to/dir
[21:06] <Afteraffekt> cyclist_2, its possible the drives need to be checked for errors?
[21:06] <bastidrazor> torchie: that command will set the ownership to you and all files in that directory
[21:06] <OldPete> torchie: If you're using a standard Ubuntu setup, your username is a group.
[21:07] <cyclist_2> Afteraffekt: how is that?
[21:07] <LAcan> ohsix, do you know where I can find the aclocal macros?
[21:07] <ActionParsnip> torchie: if you want it mainly owned by root, sure (bit silly for user data)
[21:07] <Afteraffekt> cyclist_2, they may have been improperly removed in the past, or in windows, can cause mounting problems in linux
[21:07] <torchie> changing it to just me
[21:07] <LAcan> torchie, why are you still arguing about this? UBUNTU TWEAK
[21:08] <Afteraffekt> ubuntu tweek is amazing
[21:08] <torchie> is the user:user "from user to user?"
[21:08]  * LAcan thank you Afteraffekt
[21:08] <gus> do we updated today language-selector ?
[21:08] <bastidrazor> LAcan: that is a bit extreme to just change ownership of one folder.
[21:08] <zeina> my nextech webcam doesn't work. what shoul I do? thanks
[21:08] <cyclist_2> Afteraffekt: I am pretty sure that Ubuntu would mount it IF I rebooted again, but I do not want to do it anymore that way
[21:08] <LAcan> bastidrazor, like its gonna be the only time
[21:08] <bastidrazor> torchie: no, that means user:group
[21:08] <exalt> heh while installing the updates i got this error: http://pastebin.com/1NDCBECd any ideas on what i should do now ?
[21:09] <__Alex_> zeina: Did it come with source kernel modules?
[21:09] <bastidrazor> torchie: the command i gave you will fix your issues. the $USER is important. type it exact
[21:09] <Afteraffekt> cyclist_2, thats my only thoughts, if your unmounting the first properly, have you tried puling ht card out and reinserting it a few times?
[21:09] <zeina> __Alex_, I don't know. How can I check?
[21:09] <torchie> sudo chown -R $user:torchie /dir
[21:09] <bastidrazor> torchie: that is not the command i gave you.
[21:09] <LAcan> can anyone help me with an aclocal macro im missing?
[21:10]  * LAcan bangs his head against a wall
[21:10] <Afteraffekt>  sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /path/to/dir
[21:10] <torchie> oh, exact exact
[21:10] <Afteraffekt> capitals count too
[21:11] <ula> :D
[21:11] <ula> hi
[21:11] <ula> everyone;]
[21:11] <torchie> one thing, empathy's changing what's between $USER and USER to a smiley and pasting it just makes it USERUSER
[21:11] <AHTOH> hello can i change my skin audacious 2.4.4 ? and how ?
[21:12] <bastidrazor> torchie: then type it by hand.
[21:12] <cyclist_2> Afteraffekt: I tried a few times just now and I got nothing
[21:12] <torchie> I would but I don't know what characters make up that smiley face
[21:12] <OldPete> torchie: Is your username on your system torchie?
[21:12] <ActionParsnip> torchie: sudo chown -R $ USER: $ USER /path/to/dir             without the spaces between the $ and U and the : and U
[21:12] <Afteraffekt> cyclist_2, then my thought was incorrect, sorryman, i tried
[21:12] <torchie> i was using torchie as an example
[21:13] <Afteraffekt> then dont use empathy?
[21:13] <cyclist_2> Afteraffekt: well, thank you, anyway
[21:13] <torchie> i rather like empathy :(
[21:13] <torchie> though I've got to disable the smilies
[21:13] <ActionParsnip> torchie: e.g.    sudo chown -R andy:andy /path/to/folder
[21:13] <torchie> alright, did it
[21:14] <Afteraffekt> cyclist_2, youve atleast got some troubleshooting out of the way
[21:14] <OldPete> torchie: the "$USER" is an environment variable for your username.  You can replace that with your actual username.
[21:14] <torchie> $user inserts the username string doesn't it
[21:14] <torchie> ah ok
[21:14] <torchie> alright, all's well
[21:14] <torchie> thanks for putting up with my crap lol
[21:14] <ActionParsnip> torchie: yes, its a variable for the user running the command, linux is a true multiuser OS so you can switch as you like, using $USER means you don't have to remember who you are
[21:15] <exalt> whats the problem with language-selector ?
[21:15] <ActionParsnip> exalt: seems there is a bug
[21:15] <jil> hi

[21:27] <jil> ActionParsnip, Ok I'll try this but is there a channel specialised in harddisk problems because I have another disk I cannot even use dd to back it up any more and I would like to see the content of the MBR and possibly edit it by hand.
[21:28] <IdleOne> nerdshell: /etc/apt/sources.list and sources.list.d
[21:28] <ActionParsnip> nerdshell: or use software centre

[21:34] <rhizmoe_> solars: try the top link here: http://www.google.com/#q=artwiz+ubuntu
[21:34] <rhizmoe_> Tommzs: root? you sure? typically it's a sudo situation and you type your own pw
[21:35] <ThinkT510> !root | Tommzs
[21:35] <rhin0> yep -- the user password can be root
[21:35] <rhizmoe_> um

[21:38] <prodigel> hi all. I'm having problems with a server, I would to reboot without the services running. renaming the initd files didn't work it seems. What should be the way to do this?
[21:38] <ActionParsnip> Tommzs: then you need to add yourself to the admin group
[21:38] <Tommzs> and how? :)
[21:38] <solars> rhizmoe_, hm any idea why dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config does not show the dialog but just exits?
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> Tommzs: by a user whom is in the admin group, or boot to root recovery mode
[21:39] <Tommzs> When I look into users settings it says that I am admin
[21:39] <ActionParsnip> Tommzs: if you run:  groups   are you in the admin group?
[21:40] <guntbert> WormDrink: edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:40] <Soothsayer> What is the right place to put apps I download as a tar.gz ?
[21:40] <zeina> my nexxtech webcam doesn't work. any idea?
[21:40] <Soothsayer> Not source codes.. but rather these java apps
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: are you installing firefox 4?
[21:40] <Soothsayer> ActionParsnip: no, stuff like PhpStorm, Webstorm, etc
[21:40] <ActionParsnip> SoothsayerI see, I usually put them in /opt  but anywhere not in /proc is fine
[21:41] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: and not in /dev
[21:41] <Soothsayer> ActionParsnip: I see.
[21:41] <Tommzs> Action Parsnip: I have it in czech language, but when I look to the "user settings" It says "Type of account: admin"...do you have link to some kind of NOOB friendly tutorial? :)
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> Tommzs: I don't care what that says, what does the command: groups    say?
[21:42] <Soothsayer> ActionParsnip: why is the create new folder option disabled within my opt directory?
[21:42] <Soothsayer> I've to be root ?
[21:42] <ThinkT510> !webcam | zeina
[21:42] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: run: gksudo nautilus    an you won't have an issue
[21:42] <Tommzs> it says: tommzs
[21:42] <solars> does anyone konw why dpkg-reconfigure fontconfig-config does not show the dialog?
[21:43] <ActionParsnip> Tommzs: if that's all then that's why
[21:43] <fadax> hi
[21:43] <Supm4n> Hi  all, I am interesting in push an .deb into official repositories. Does anyone has a link ? thanks
[21:43] <guntbert> prodigel: boot to recovery-mode?
[21:43] <__Alex_> hi fadax, what's the problem
[21:44] <prodigel> can't
[21:44] <prodigel> guntbert, it's a vps
[21:44] <prodigel> I have no access to the console that way
[21:44] <ActionParsnip> Tommzs: you aren't in the admin group, you are incredibly limited in what you can do. The defaults are: $USER adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare       You need to add your user to those groups or you will have issues. Sounds like you have been messing with your group memberships
[21:44] <fadax> i installed ubuntu as a virtual machine using vmware on windows 7. i want to enable the "extra" visual effects, but when i try it says it cannot enable them.. how can i make it work? i have enabled "3d graphics acceleration"
[21:45] <ActionParsnip> fadax: you need the guest additions installing
[21:45] <anonissimus> fadax: the driver might not be installed
[21:45] <__Alex_> Maybe you need a WMVare kernel module
[21:45] <guntbert> prodigel: then I don't know - sorry
[21:45] <Vardan> hi all
[21:45] <Soothsayer> ActionParsnip: that permission goes after a reboot ?
[21:45] <__Alex_> fadax: yOU NEED THE KERNEL MODULES
[21:46] <Tommzs> ActionParsnip: hmm... i clicked on "guest mode" - i think it is like thin in english... after that it freezed so I restarted my computer and now its like this...
[21:46] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: it will timeout on it's own or you can run:  sudo -k   to kill it straight away
[21:46] <guntbert> fadax: without vmware tools installed - no chance
[21:46] <Soothsayer_> ok
[21:46] <Soothsayer_> How do I say 'ok' in this installation? - http://i.imgur.com/eKao9.png
[21:47] <Vardan> press tab
[21:47] <Vardan> and enter
[21:47] <Soothsayer> Vardan: phew!

[21:48] <darkfile> hello
[21:48] <Gurke_> hi
[21:48] <fadax> guntbert i think it already downloaded and installed the vmware tools for me  when i set up the VM.. how can i check? is kernel modules / vmware tools the same thing?
[21:48] <Gurke_> darkfile: high five ⁵
[21:48] <__Alex_> Tommzs: But you need the Kernel Headers to compile the modules!
[21:48] <minion35> hi, wondering if anyone can help me. I had a problem today with ubuntu 10.10 ... massive slow down, cpu running at 100% ... used the top command to see that it was update-apt-xapi that was causing this. Any ideas why it was taking up so much processor?
[21:49] <darkfile> how do i make a useful bug report when a computer runs fine, but freezes on shutdown?
[21:49] <Tommzs> ActionParsnip: Im not using virtualbox.. my Ubuntu is installed on real HDD... im using web IRC from ubuntu
[21:49] <__Alex_> minion35: Have you yet tryed XFce?
[21:49] <guntbert> fadax: sorry, no access to a vmware VM right now
[21:49] <Gurke_> __Alex_ he uses gnome !!!!
[21:49] <darkfile> (its natty beta on a Dell Latitude E6320 with SSD)
[21:49] <constl> Is it possible to try out unity on 10.10?
[21:50] <Gurke_> yes
[21:50] <ThinkT510> !11.04 | darkfile
[21:50] <ActionParsnip> constl: sure http://www.webupd8.org/2010/06/unity-finally-lands-in-ubuntu-1010.html
[21:50] <Vardan> people how to fix this problem:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/596262/ ? thanks
[21:50] <__Alex_> Gurke_: I know, and i was asking, if he yet tried XFce
[21:50] <Gurke_> constrl: sudo apt-get install  unity-netbook
[21:50] <minion35> Gurke_: yeah currently using gnome.

[21:50] <ayrton>  *** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries.
[21:50] <ayrton>  ***

[21:50] <Adis34> When I run a game in windowed mode with WINE, it wont let me use my keyboard controls
[21:50] <Adis34> i can only move my mouse around
[21:51] <ActionParsnip> ayrton: there is a ppa if you want but using it will mean you will have drastically reduced support here as you are using an unofficial kernel
[21:51] <Auriga> Adis34, Depending on the game, it might not be fully compatible.
[21:51] <Auriga> Adis34, Have you looked at the WINE site?
[21:51] <constl> Gurke_: Thanks, ill give it a try
[21:51] <ayrton> k actionparsnip but the ppa is for 10.04 i have 10.10
[21:52] <Gurke_> ok
[21:52] <powpc123> i have got errror (process:401): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)... when installing ubuntu 10.10 need help
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> !ppa | ayrton
[21:52] <Adis34> Yeah it has some issues, but I can use my keyboard controls in full screen
[21:52] <fadax> how does ubuntu use my graphics card when it is being run as a guest through VMware? does it not need linux drivers installed for the gfx card or it uses host driver?
[21:52] <Adis34> I just wanna run it windowed
[21:52] <ActionParsnip> Adis34: I'd ask in #winehq
[21:52] <Adis34> oh never knew about that
[21:52] <Adis34> thanks
[21:53] <minion35> fadax: It may have the drives built in or use a standard video driver from ubuntu
[21:53] <fadax> oh ok i see thanks
[21:53] <__Alex_> fadax: Just install the 'wmvare tools' thing, it contains all needed kernel modules!
[21:54] <Soothsayer> ActionParsnip: once I put it under /opt how do you launch it there after?
[21:54] <powpc123> i have got errror (process:401): GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)... when installing ubuntu 10.10
[21:54] <Soothsayer> right now there is a /bin/PhpStorm.sh file to run it
[21:54] <Soothsayer> but that's inconvenient to come back to each time
[21:54] <MyRadLife> how do I log in to ssh if it's not at the default port 22? I've set it to another value
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: I'd symlink the binary to /usr/bin   or if you feel like it, just make a launcher which calls it in the appropriate way
[21:55] <jmayfield> is the issue of nvidia drivers segfaulting when loading (natty beta) a known issue?
[21:55] <fadax> __Alex_ well ok but i think they are already installed.. i'm just not sure. how can i tell?
[21:55] <minion35> powpc123: is this when you initially put in the ubuntu cd?
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> MyRadLife: ssh user@ip -p portnum
[21:55] <ActionParsnip> MyRadLife: see: man ssh    for stuff like that
[21:55] <Soothsayer> ActionParsnip: if you put in /usr/bin, you will still have to use the terminal to launch it, wont u ?
[21:56] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: if it's there you can press ALT+F2 and launch it
[21:56] <minion35> anyone have any thoughts on the 11.04 beta before i install it?
[21:57] <ThinkT510> !11.04 | minion35
[21:57] <jmayfield> minion35, works nicely, aside from nvidia drivers
[21:57] <Soothsayer> ActionParsnip: oh right
[21:58] <minion35> cheers guys ... thinking about installing it on a test server in college. Hopefully when its released it will have some fixes for the errors with my laptop, battery etc.
[21:58] <gridaphobe> minion35: i'm using natty as my main os, it's pretty nice. i don't have any problems with drivers either
[21:58] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: it can reside anywhere and have a launcher made for it though
[21:59] <Soothsayer> ActionParsnip: ye, making a launcher from the desktop
[22:00] <gridaphobe> in xchat, can i hide all the join/left channel messages?
[22:01] <ActionParsnip> Soothsayer: then the /usr/bin stuff isn't needed really
[22:01] <minion35> gridaphode: This might help http://forum.xchat.org/viewtopic.php?p=12588
[22:02] <Soothsayer> ActionParsnip: got it!
[22:02] <botcity> powpc
[22:02] <guntbert> gridaphobe: right click on the channel tab, settings...
[22:02] <MyRadLife> ActionParsnip: thanks for that!      how do I copy rsa keys from client to host w/o ssh-copy-id ? I have a thumb drive to manually copy them. I'm asking which files need to be copied and where
[22:02] <gridaphobe> guntbert, minion35: thanks
[22:03] <minion35> no problem
[22:03] <ActionParsnip> MyRadLife: not sure, try asking the channel like normal
[22:03] <ThinkT510> Soothsayer: you're doing very good for your first ubuntu install, you getting the hang of everything ok?
[22:04] <MyRadLife> How do I copy an RSA Key to my server? I cannot use "ssh-copy-id"?
[22:04] <minion35> MyRadLife: ssh copy-id would be a lot faster and easier ....
[22:04] <MyRadLife> minion35: I'm on OSX and doesn't have ssh-copy-id
[22:05] <maco> MyRadLife: scp
[22:05] <maco> MyRadLife: well, assuming you have a password-way of logging in right now
[22:05] <maco> MyRadLife: or copy and paste into an open vim window
[22:06] <Soothsayer> ThinkT510: Thanks!  yes, absolutely. thanks to you for speeding it up :)
[22:06] <minion35> MyRadLife: try this sudo curl "http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~cjwatson/cvsweb/openssh/contrib/ssh-copy-id?rev=1.8;content-type=text%2Fplain" -o /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id
[22:06] <fadax> i tried to install vmware tools but near the end it said "skipping x configuration because x drivers are not included" .. is this the reason i can't enable extra visual effects?
[22:06] <Soothsayer> Though, somethings are strange. for example : gksudo nautilus  <-- how am i ever suppose to remember this!
[22:06] <gyu> i am using ubuntu 10.10 meverick meekat and i m facing a great deal of problems
[22:06] <ThinkT510> !yay | Soothsayer
[22:06] <MyRadLife> maco: that's what i want to do. I can do this via USB, so I'm just wondering which files need ot be copied and where to copy them
[22:06] <minion35> MyRadLife: sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/ssh-copy-id
[22:06] <gyu> my mouse freezes many times
[22:06] <gyu> while working
[22:06] <gyu> ?
[22:07] <maco> minion35: MyRadLife doesnt have that command available to get the key from OSX to the ubuntu serverf
[22:07] <minion35> MyRadLife: that should install ssh-copy-id in OSX
[22:07] <maco> MyRadLife: it's ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub or ~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub
[22:07] <maco> MyRadLife: and its contents need to be added to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server
[22:07] <maco> minion35: that wasnt an installation command at all
[22:07] <maco> minion35: that would just make the thing executable, if it existed
[22:08] <gyu> my mouse freezes many times while working, what shud i do?
[22:08] <MyRadLife> maco: do I add the portion of id_rsa.pub to the "authorized_keys" ifle?
[22:08] <Logan_> gyu: Does it happen while typing?
[22:08] <MyRadLife> * file
[22:08] <minion35> maco: it installes it from the repo i listed above .....
[22:08] <maco> MyRadLife: yes
[22:08] <gyu> not specific
[22:08] <Logan_> !who | gyu
[22:08] <gyu> it happen nytime while moving

[22:09] <gyu> ok ubboto
[22:09] <minion35> weird that open ssh didnt include it for OSX
[22:10] <ThinkT510> Soothsayer: wow, they are biggies, those two stop many people
[22:10] <gyu> is there a fix for it
[22:10] <ActionParsnip> Tommzs: usermod -a -G admin foo      change foo for your username
[22:10] <botcity> !enter |  gyu
[22:10] <gyu> ?
[22:10] <gyu> logon and ubboto
[22:10] <Tommzs> thanks
[22:10] <gyu> ok
[22:10] <ThinkT510> Soothsayer: they are high priorities on wine, which is good
[22:11] <minion35> Soothsayer: I wouldn't think of a full ubuntu transfer if you require CS5 ... dual boot would be the best
[22:11] <constl> Is there a way to scale the appearance of the desktop on 10.10? I would like to see smaller fonts overall
[22:11] <ThinkT510> Soothsayer: an alternative would be to have a windows vm just for those two apps
[22:11] <Soothsayer> minion35: ye but dualboot doesn't appeal to me.. its not practical for me at least.
[22:11] <Soothsayer> ThinkT510: that's what I was thinking.
[22:12] <Soothsayer> I've got a 4 gb ram with a Quadcore.
[22:12] <fadax> i tried to install vmware tools but near the end it said "skipping x configuration because x drivers are not included" .. is this the reason i can't enable extra visual effects?
[22:12] <Soothsayer> If I run linux in under 2, im good :)
[22:12] <minion35> constl: system > preferences > appearences > fonts
[22:12] <minion35> Soothsayer: What about a virtual machine?
[22:12] <ThinkT510> Soothsayer: sweet, i have a quad core and 4gb ram too
[22:12] <Tommzs> ActionParsnip: I created a pass for root, can I cancel it somehow?
[22:13] <gyu> nyone....??/
[22:13] <minion35> gyu: whats your question?
[22:13] <ActionParsnip> Tommzs: sudo passwd -l root
[22:14] <gyu> minion35 : my mouse freezes while working
[22:14] <ActionParsnip> Tommzs: don't enable the root account, you will have significantly fewer issues
[22:14] <minion35> gyu: Does it happen just in linux?
[22:14] <Tommzs> ok, thanks... i hope it will all work..
[22:14] <axscode> why when i ssh to my server, its very very slow to appear the password: ?
[22:15] <gyu> @minion35 yes

[22:17] <minion35> gyu: you could try this http://xpapad.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/dealing-with-mouse-and-touchpad-freezes-in-linux/
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> gyu: is the system a branded pc?
[22:18] <gyu> @botcity i  installed it twice with fresh install bt still had the same problem
[22:18] <ActionParsnip> gyu: or a lpatop?
[22:18] <gyu> @minion35 ok
[22:18] <minion35> linusoleander: lynk extracts them to a text file ....
[22:18] <gyu> @actionparnship yes its an acer aspire 4736z notebook
[22:19] <linusoleander> minion35:  Is it possible to write a all cookies to a file?
[22:19] <gyu> @actionparsnip it came installed with linpus linux
[22:19] <ActionParsnip> gyu: you don't need the @ character and it actually defeats highlighting, please don't add it
[22:19] <gyu> k
[22:19] <minion35> linusoleander: thats what lynx does with cookies, writes them to a text file.
[22:20] <minion35> gyu: Does your acer have a battery indicator under Ubuntu?
[22:20] <linusoleander> minion35: Do you by any chance know what file?
[22:20] <gyu> minion35 yes
[22:21] <K4k> Is there a way to grep two different lines at once?
[22:21] <solars> did anyone manage to install artwiz fonts in 10.10?
[22:21] <minion35> linusoleander: this might help http://caunter.ca/README.cookies
[22:22] <ActionParsnip> gyu: try: synclient TouchpadOff=0

[22:22] <MyRadLife> ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
[22:23] <gyu> actionparnsip i dint get u
[22:23] <minion35> Pyhlock: you basically want to delay the command between each transmission?
[22:23] <Soothsayer> besides emacs, which is the other popular code editor in linux ?
[22:23] <KINGOFSWORDS> hi
[22:23] <gyu> minion35 :) samepinch
[22:23] <ActionParsnip> gyu: or: gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true
[22:24] <chewy> guys, what is the password of liveDVD?
[22:24] <minion35> Sootsayer: If graphical id recommend Geany, otherwise nano for CLI based editing. Please don't start a vi vs emacs war *shudder*
[22:24] <gyu> actionparsnip m confused where to get those options which u r stating
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> chewy: there isn'tone
[22:24] <chewy> i tried root, gentoo, user, ...
[22:24] <chewy> ActionParsnip, oh ok
[22:24] <gyu> where is confogtool
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> gyu: press ALT+F2 and run them
[22:24] <minion35> chewy: leave it blank
[22:25] <gyu> ?
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> gyu: its a terminal command or you can use alt+f2
[22:25] <chewy> minion35, ActionParsnip: it asks for something
[22:25] <chewy> i m trying to ssh it
[22:25] <minion35> ssh to a liveDVD?
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> chewy: press ALT+F2    and run:  passwd ubuntu       then press CTRL+ALT+F7
[22:25] <Phylock> minion35: i try to do a simulation, the date.txt contains commands, one in each line the java client connects to the server an retrieve commands from the server
[22:25] <ActionParsnip> minion35: sure, install openssh-server in the live environment, it will run
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> chewy: you can now connect via ssh
[22:26] <solars> can anyon tell me how to enable bitmap fonts on 10.10?
[22:26] <minion35> Pyhlock: You could use some form of for loop and a thread at the end of each loop to wait a period of time before the next iteration
[22:26] <gyu> i ran gconftool in terminal command
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> minion35: you can do anything in livecd which you can do in an installed OS, except reboot to a new kernel
[22:27] <gyu> bt it dissapeared
[22:27] <chewy> ActionParsnip, i m a bit stupid: i thought i was on the gentoo channel... i m booting the gentoo livedvd ... sorry guys, and thank you
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> gyu: run the whole command, I gave the full command you need
[22:27] <minion35> ActionParsnip: Didn't think it would work but good to know.
[22:27] <ActionParsnip> minion35: the livecd is a swissarmyknife of awesome :)
[22:27] <itilious> if i choos forward ports thru a putty ssh connection, do i still need to forward the ports on the router as well?
[22:28] <bastidrazor> itilious: yes
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> itilious: yes
[22:28] <itilious> dang
[22:28] <minion35> ActionParsnip: yeah its brilliant, saved my ass a bunch of times.
[22:28] <gyu>  gconftool-2 --set --type boolean /desktop/gnome/peripherals/touchpad/touchpad_enabled true
[22:28] <gyu> i ran the above
[22:28] <gyu> it it correct
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> gyu: ok, is the touchpad enabled?
[22:28] <gyu> it disappeared
[22:28] <itilious> so the traffic doesnt exactly all "go thru port 22" then for the other ports?
[22:28] <ActionParsnip> gyu: yes thats correct, nothing will appear
[22:29] <minion35> itilious: yes you should have too, I wouldnt forward all ports though ... just needed ones, 22, 80 etc.
[22:29] <gyu> ok
[22:29] <gyu> my touchpadenabled was alredy
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> itilious: ssh will go through port 22 TCP
[22:29] <gyu> my touchpad was already enabled
[22:29] <itilious> so what are my options to make my system more secure from bots scanning my system to bruteforce my passwords for admin accoutns?
[22:29] <gyu> it was jst that my mouse was freezing
[22:29] <gyu> so is it corrected
[22:30] <gyu> how do i manually check it whether its enabled or  not
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> gyu: i see, hmm if you plug it out then in, does it work. You should then run:  dmesg | tail    it may give clues
[22:30] <minion35> itilious: use a strong passwording system, and only use port 22 for ssh traffic
[22:30] <itilious> so the router needs to forward port 5901 to do VNC over SSH?
[22:31] <itilious> router forward port 22 as well as 5901?
[22:31] <gyu> ok
[22:31] <minion35> itilious: yes you will also need to forward port 5900
[22:31] <gyu> thanks nyways :)
[22:31] <neurochrome> ok folks, so anyone else receiving this message --> dpkg: error processing language-selector-common (--configure):
[22:31] <ayecee> itilious: no, the router would forward just port 22 for VNC over SSH.
[22:31] <neurochrome> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[22:32] <Phylock> minion35: thats an idea, i give it a try, thanks
[22:32] <fixu> hi, what I must use to kernel hardering ?
[22:32] <neurochrome> just done an upgrade and this came out of nowhere... googled it and a few others are talking about it too, all posted TODAY
[22:32] <itilious> ayecee, now i'm confused, you saydont forward 5900 and minion35 says i need to forward it to server
[22:32] <neurochrome> is there a fix or reason for the error?
[22:33] <minion35> Pyhlock: it might be easier in python or perl than java ... hate threading in java ....
[22:33] <ayecee> itilious: VNC is being forwarded over SSH, so the router doesn't even see it as VNC traffic.
[22:33] <neurochrome> can anyone see this?  I haven't had replies in this chan for ages...
[22:33] <ayecee> neurochrome: yes
[22:33] <neurochrome> well, that's a start
[22:33] <neurochrome> cheers
[22:34] <minion35> itilious: yeah sorry ayecee is right ...
[22:34] <itilious> ayecee, so if i'm in my remote terminal via ssh, and confirmed the vnc server is running I should be able to connect via "<IP_ADDRESS>:1" right? without 5901 forwardded too?
[22:34] <mickster04> neurochrome: seriously cut down on the enter abuse
[22:34] <neurochrome> mickster04, not exactly a flood, but whatever
[22:35] <ayecee> itilious: you would instruct ssh to forward the port rather than the router.
[22:35] <einseenai> guys, anyone experienced th problem with latest update? some strange problem language-selector package. i pasted from terminal http://pastebin.com/g40hK86Y
[22:35] <ayecee> itilious: but yes, that's about how you'd connect.
[22:35] <neurochrome> einseenai, yes me too
[22:35] <itilious> i was at home and connected via my public IP just fine via SSH/VNC, now i'm on an outside networking trying to do the same thing and VNC viewer doesnt want to connect anymore
[22:35] <botcity> gyu: does it behave like it moves for a second then stops and then starts again, like its not updating its movement enough?
[22:35] <mickster04> neurochrome: it's helps us all if you keep it to one line?
[22:35] <einseenai> neurochrome, did u solve it?
[22:35] <neurochrome> mickster04, yeah, no sweat, no need to get your knickers in a twist :)
[22:36] <itilious> it says connected, but the actual viewer never comes up,, vnc4viewer to be exact
[22:36] <neurochrome> einseenai, no just hit up irc now to see what the crack is... no others so far, but plenty on google... all today. so looks like an upgrade gone wrong
[22:37] <fixu> I maked the test and is to many things in kernel hardering to do, what can I use to sec ?
[22:37] <KimK> How do you edit file associations in Ubuntu? I installed a new program, and it made one too many file association changes for me.
[22:37] <ayecee> itilious: maybe choose a different encoding method in vncviewer. I think by default it uses a very bandwidth-intensive one if it thinks it's connecting to local host
[22:37] <neurochrome> einseenai, I guess there are some on here who have yet to upgrade today maybe?  It's late, and given that there isn't a flurry of people with answers I'm gonna sleep on it, good luck getting some help! ;)
[22:37] <fixu> apparmor ? selinux ? grsecurity ?
[22:38] <einseenai> neurochrome, i see... i tried sudo dpkg --configure -a, but it didn't help
[22:38] <einseenai> neurochrome, ok. good night ))
[22:38] <neurochrome> einseenai, peace, I'll be back 2moro if there is no further fixes/updates rolled out
[22:38] <minion35> einsennai neurochrom: try remove the language-selector package from synaptic
[22:39] <gnewb> fixu: That is a tough question, Have you looked at the Hardened package?
[22:39] <einseenai> miniom35, thx a lot. i'll give a try now ))
[22:39] <itilious> ayecee, k gotta read up on a few things on how to do that and ill try and let ya know, i think that may be it
[22:39] <einseenai> minion35, thx a lot. )
[22:40] <minion35> einsennai: no problem :)
[22:40] <MyRadLife> how do I make a link (not sure symbolic or not) of all the files in one directory in home to /var/www/ ?
[22:40] <zeina> can someone recommend me a webcam brand that just works with skype in ubuntu?
[22:41] <KINGOFSWORDS> can i format my windwos patition from ubuntu?
[22:41] <flaritycat> yupp
[22:41] <minion35> zeina: logitech worked fine for me.
[22:41] <ayecee> zeina: I picked a random cheap one off the shelf at walmart and it worked fine. Go for the cheaper ones, they're more likely to be supported.
[22:41] <constl> What's the proper way of adding a fresh installed application on the patch so you can e.g. start it from Alt+F2, etc. ?
[22:41] <constl> path*
[22:41] <gnewb> !hardware | zeina
[22:42] <zeina> !webcam
[22:42] <minion35> zeina: most use standard drivers especially the budget ones.
[22:42] <arand> KINGOFSWORDS: However if you intend to install windows again it sis often preferable to let windows do the formatting I'd say..
[22:42] <einseenai> minion35, no way to do this. it's offering to remove ubuntu-desktop, too =)
[22:42] <vivekimsit2287> hiii
[22:42] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh my disc wont go into installer

[22:47] <arand> constl: I'm not quite sure if the run dialogue uses the same path as bash, if so, adding it in .bashrc should work.. Also, unless you _need_ otherwise, using eclipse from the repositories are likely preferable..

[22:56] <KimK> Now that pretz is done with, how do you edit file associations in ubuntu?
[22:57] <dlirit> is it possible with sudo to give a user read/write access to a specific file without requiring password authentication?
[22:57] <toad> maybe
[22:58] <arand> ThorinOak: I think you might be missing an "insmod lvm" there...
[22:59] <minion35> kimk: Right-click on a file of the type you wish to set a default application to open it with, Select Properties,Select the Open With tab ,Select the application you want associated with that file-type, click OK.

[23:19] <bluenemo> i have a ati 9550 graphics adapter and cant get it to run urbanterror (urt based) to run on it without lags
[23:20] <deadea> ok
[23:20] <bluenemo> so far i'm running the radeon driver, it can open the game but it has lags..
[23:20] <minion35> Yoshimi: try using gcc instead of g++
[23:20] <Corey> Yoshimi: ##c++
[23:20] <bluenemo> i read fglrx is not supported anymore?
[23:21] <Yoshimi> Corey: I tried that channel, but it seems to be +m or something, and it won't let me send messages to the channel
[23:21] <botcity> Yoshimi:  maybe there is a font error!
[23:21] <Corey> Yoshimi: You need to identify to services to speak there.
[23:21] <deadea> asdfjk;l
[23:21] <Yoshimi> And minion35, how do I procure gcc?
[23:21] <cozgedal> hi it's been a while since i've used linux. i'm transfering 40gigs from a raid1 volume to another raid1 volume through nautilus and am getting 19MB/sec. is that normal or on the slow side?
[23:21] <minion35> Yoshimi: its installed already gcc "inputfile" outputfile.o
[23:22] <minion35> Yoshimi: then ./outputfile
[23:22] <minion35> cozgedal: thats about right for that size volume of data. what speed is the drives?
[23:23] <cozgedal> oh ya, they're wd caviar green 2tb 64mb sata drives
[23:23] <deadea> õÝŮ ÂäÅöИИКК
[23:23] <Yoshimi> Still coming up with an error :/
[23:23] <Yoshimi> "expected ';' before string constant
[23:23] <deadea> ЪиёЁųųйэÖÖìîŔŻŻŹŽŽššŠŞŞĽ×¹¹€¥
[23:23] <Yoshimi> "
[23:23] <botcity> Yoshimi: what error?
[23:24] <minion35> Yoshimi: thats a compiler error .... solve it ... thats programming.
[23:24] <deadea> deadea> ЪиёЁųųйэÖÖìîŔŻŻŹŽŽššŠŞŞĽ×¹¹€¥
[23:24] <Yoshimi> lol, it's exercise #2, I barely have a clue what I'm doing
[23:24] <cozgedal> minion35: cool. i had nothing to benchmark it to so had no idea. would it get much of a speed up to copy straight from a shell or about the same as using nautilus?
[23:25] <minion35> cozgedal: its much the same speeds
[23:25] <cozgedal> minion35: madness. thanks
[23:26] <sly> Who here has control of the bot that gives help?
[23:26] <KINGOFSWORDS> i have dual boot..im am trying to install xp over windows 7 but it wont go into instller menu
[23:27] <vilrockerdefer> hello
[23:27] <vilrockerdefer> need help for booting ubuntu 10.10
[23:27] <KM0201> KINGOFSWORDS: not really a linux question.. i figure XP will just want the entire drive...
[23:27] <minion35> Kingofswords: you need to reinstall grub
[23:27] <vilrockerdefer> anyone  please ?
[23:27] <KM0201> vilrockerdefer: ask your question
[23:27] <rhizmoe_> what is /usr/share/app-install? looks like a generic distfile repo, but i wonder if it's just for convenience
[23:27] <arand> !anyone | vilrockerdefer
[23:27] <minion35> KM0201: it is
[23:27] <KINGOFSWORDS> KM0201 sorry i have ubuntu installed 1st
[23:28] <sly> arand: Do you know who can add something into the bot you just used?
[23:28] <sly> I found a solution for a problem that I had the other night, and figured that it should be added since it's a simple workaround.
[23:28] <KM0201> KINGOFSWORDS: but you said you couldn't get xp, to install over 7.. that has nothing to do w/ linux.. i don't care.. just saying
[23:28] <botcity> !ubottu | sly
[23:29] <bj0> is there a package with the savage driver debugging symbols?
[23:29] <KINGOFSWORDS> yeh i meant on a dual boot system..i think cuz i installed ubuntu 1st i have problems
[23:29] <vilrockerdefer> I installed ubunti under xp through wubi and boot hangs... Before that I successfully booted using the live cd... it's on a dell latitude x300... voila
[23:29] <minion35> KINGOFSWORDS: read this it should help http://apcmag.com/how_to_dual_boot_linux_and_windows_xp_linux_installed_first.htm
[23:29] <vilrockerdefer> it hangs in recovery mode too
[23:29] <arand> sly: in private message "!foo is <reply> foo is bar etc." which will forward the suggestion to the operators.
[23:29] <sly> Yeah. I'm reading what botcity sent right now.
[23:29] <sly> Thanks.
[23:30] <KINGOFSWORDS> thx minion
[23:30] <vilrockerdefer> no error message only init: ureadahead...terminated with status 4
[23:30] <KM0201> vilrockerdefer: nuke wubi, and install ubuntu right
[23:31] <vilrockerdefer> km0201 then I need to nuke my xp partition ? because when I try to install after booting live cd it can't partition
[23:31] <freaky[t]> what ubuntu version should i get for an intel i7 procesor 64 bit?
[23:31] <freaky[t]> the amd64 image?
[23:32] <ZykoticK9> freaky[t], AMD64 if you want 64bit - i386 if you want 32 bit
[23:32] <KM0201> vilrockerdefer: welcome to wubi.. when something goes wrong... its often spectacular.. you can't even boot windows?
[23:32] <Jeruvy> vilrockerdefer: you only have one hard drive?  And it's just a single partition?
[23:32] <vilrockerdefer> yes I can
[23:32] <vilrockerdefer> yes one hard drive one partition
[23:32] <freaky[t]> ZykoticK9 ok i want 64 bit but why does it say AMD i have an intel i7 oO
[23:32] <KM0201> vilrockerdefer: boot windows, uninstall wubi (from control panel).. then partition your drive and install ubuntu right.
[23:32] <ZykoticK9> freaky[t], Intel's 64bit is actually using AMD64 (it's technical name)
[23:33] <freaky[t]> ok
[23:33] <freaky[t]> thank you
[23:33] <Jeruvy> vilrockerdefer: I would uninstall wubi, defrag your disk from 'safe mode' twice for good measure, then boot normal and try wubi again.  If that fails you should consider resizing or replacing your disk to do a proper install.
[23:33] <vilrockerdefer> ok thanks... any idea what software to repartition under xp ?
[23:33] <Jeruvy> vilrockerdefer you can use gparted or disk management (in windows)
[23:34] <vilrockerdefer> of thanks
[23:34] <LetsGo67> Why does Ubuntu setup say "ready when you are"?
[23:35] <ZykoticK9> LetsGo67, it's waiting for the user to finish inputting information (clicking a button usually)
[23:35] <LetsGo67> ZykoticK9: Does it have anything to do with caps in the username?
[23:36] <ZykoticK9> LetsGo67, i think usernames must be lowercase only
[23:36] <LetsGo67> ZykoticK9: In all Unix systems»?
[23:36] <UbuntuN00b> does ubuntu check drives formatted in ext2 on login by default?
[23:36] <ZykoticK9> LetsGo67, probably...
[23:36] <LetsGo67> ext2?  Ol' skool!
[23:37] <aar> What is a good substitute of katapult for kubuntu 10.10?
[23:37] <UbuntuN00b> its ab sd card. i was told it was best to put t in ext2
[23:37] <LetsGo67> Isn't Ubuntu a professional product?
[23:37] <ZykoticK9> UbuntuN00b, ext2 is good for SD cards, what do you mean by "check drives... by default"
[23:38] <r4ykid> hi everyone. How can i reconfigure/recalibrate my Game Controllers buttons?
[23:38] <UbuntuN00b> on boot up just before login ubuntu checks my disks every boot up
[23:38] <devino21> I think he means mount
[23:38] <ZykoticK9> r4ykid, jscal from the joystick packages is a cli configuration
[23:38] <FreezingCold> Do you have the drivers installed r4ykid?
[23:38] <UbuntuN00b> was wondering if its because of the sd card
[23:38] <r4ykid> FreezingCold, yes. But not all buttons work.
[23:38] <ZykoticK9> r4ykid, sorry i don't think jscal will do anything for buttons, only calibrates axies
[23:39] <LetsGo67> Why does Ubuntu show only text on the usplash screen?
[23:39] <cryptopsy> how can i get progress meter on curlftpfs?
[23:39] <r4ykid> ZykoticK9, i tried to use that btw. I had no luck finding out how the device is called.
[23:39] <ZykoticK9> r4ykid, "should" be /dev/input/js0
[23:40] <r4ykid> ZykoticK9, thank you, maybe that will be of some use
[23:40] <ZykoticK9> r4ykid, you can "cat /dev/input/js0" and use the joystick to test
[23:41] <r4ykid> ZykoticK9, shows wierd signs, turns out it IS the device the js is on. thanks
[23:41] <ZykoticK9> r4ykid, glad to help
[23:41] <r4ykid> but i still cant use every button, nor axis
[23:41] <FreezingCold> Hey
[23:41] <FreezingCold> Anyone want to talk to me on skype? =P
[23:41] <LetsGo67> Thank you good night.
[23:41] <ZykoticK9> r4ykid, ? i've never had a joystick that didn't work OOTB.  Good luck man.
[23:42] <r4ykid> ZykoticK9, yeah :/ its the dualshock 3, i think its because the buttons are pressure sensitive
[23:42] <ZykoticK9> r4ykid, i had a ds3 work for me?  using usb.
[23:43] <minion35> FreezingCold is getting frisky ....
[23:43] <ayrton> hey so i downloaded kernel "linux-<IP_ADDRESS>" and i want to updrade the kernel to it. any idea how?
[23:43] <r4ykid> ZykoticK9, im using usb too. Could it be the game? whats the best way to test?
[23:43] <ayrton> upgrade*
[23:43] <FreezingCold> minion35: Naaaaaaa
[23:43] <sl33k_> i get this error /usr/bin/python2.5: bad interpreter: No such file or directory. even though i installed python 2.5
[23:44] <ZykoticK9> r4ykid, use the cat command and see if all buttons / axis give output to the screen
[23:44] <minion35> FreezingCold: Sorry thats what it sounded like :P
[23:44] <luciano> has anyone known a simple chronometer app with play and stop GUI ??
[23:44] <FreezingCold> I actually got a new mic and I want to test it out
[23:44] <r4ykid> ZykoticK9, thanks again^^
[23:44] <Myrtle_T_Turtle1> how do you use applications in the terminal? sorry, new to command-line interface
[23:45] <ZykoticK9> r4ykid, glad to help :)
[23:45] <KM0201> Myrtle_T_Turtle1: just depends on the app.. some apps, you can start them by typing their name in the terminal... others, run completely in terminal
[23:45] <ayrton> i downloaded the newest kernel to ubuntu how do i install it
[23:45] <ZykoticK9> !kernel | ayrton
[23:46] <sl33k_> i get this error /usr/bin/python2.5: bad interpreter: No such file or directory. even though i installed python 2.5. what gives?
[23:46] <minion35> ewwwww manual compilation *has bad nightmare from a few years ago*
[23:47] <Myrtle_T_Turtle1> KM0201, so if I type in the app's file name into the terminal, it will then run in the terminal?
[23:47] <r4ykid> ZykoticK9, they all seem to work so its definitely a game problem. Maybe the google can help here^^
[23:47] <powpow> Anybody know of any bash scripts for mplayer for riping dvds to .avi?
[23:47] <sl33k_> i get this error /usr/bin/python2.5: bad interpreter: No such file or directory. even though i installed python 2.5
[23:47] <ZykoticK9> r4ykid, it isn't dosbox is it?
[23:47] <powpow> or any other software that is Command-ine driven for ripping dvd's to avi
[23:48] <KM0201> Myrtle_T_Turtle1: "most of the time".. sometimes an app has a different command to start it, than the actual name of the program
[23:48] <bj0> sl33k_: maybe it's not at that location
[23:48] <wutzis> hi everyone, i need some help here, i was wondering if it was possible to recover files from a formatted hard drive (disk has been formatted and OS reinstalled) is it? what if it was formatted (and reinstalled) twice? there is any tool available to do so?
[23:48] <ZykoticK9> powpow, be sure to search for mencoder and not mplayer
[23:49] <minion35> wutzis: it might not be possible after two formats.
[23:49] <Myrtle_T_Turtle1> KM0201, alright, thanks for the info ;-)
[23:49] <KM0201> Myrtle_T_Turtle1: just as an example, if you still have empathy instant messenger installed (and its not running) open a terminal and type "empathy" no quotes, and hit enter... and empathy will start
[23:49] <wutzis> minion35: do you have any experience with windows?
[23:50] <Snappleseed> Hey guys, I just installed Ubuntu onto a hard drive of a couple year old laptop of mine, Inspiron 1300, and up in the Wireless Networks bar thing, and it says Device not ready (firmware missing)
[23:50] <minion35> wutzis: yes have to use it every day on customers computers :@
[23:50] <wutzis> minion35: you think it wouldnt be possible there either?
[23:50] <Snappleseed> all the online resources i've read to correct this problem yields the instructions telling me to imput code
[23:50] <Snappleseed> but I don't know how to really do that
[23:50] <Myrtle_T_Turtle1> KM0201: could you also use Alt+F2 and check the "run in terminal" box?
[23:50] <minion35> wutzis: I highly doubt it. The information wouldnt be readable after two wipes and reinstalls
[23:51] <freaky[t]> if im going to install ubuntu, can i also use the 2nd partition for ubuntu because my first partition, win7 is a bit small and i would like to use the 2nd partition?
[23:51] <Snappleseed> is there any simpler steps I could take?
[23:51] <KM0201> Myrtle_T_Turtle1: of course
[23:51] <KM0201> freaky[t]: what do you mean?.. you can pu tubuntu on any partition you like.
[23:51] <mrdeb> is a dedicated video card better for ubutnu and why
[23:51] <Myrtle_T_Turtle1> KM0201: alright, I'll try it out. thanks a bunch
[23:51] <freaky[t]> KM0201 ok thanks :D
[23:51] <ZykoticK9> freaky[t], of course, installation will give options for partitioning and waht partition(s) to create/use
[23:51] <r4ykid> ZykoticK9, no it is not Dosbox. Its aquaria ^^
[23:52] <freaky[t]> ZykoticK9 ok does it also have resize options?
[23:52] <minion35> Snappleseed: using the terminal Applications > Accessories> Terminal input the firmware installation code. Also try keep problems on one line.
[23:52] <wutzis> minion35: basically im going to sell an used pc of mines, but there i stored some very personal/sensitive/important/omgdontleak  informations, is there any hint that you could give me to make them harder to recover? (i ve no idea of the buyer's skills so lets assume he is "good")
[23:52] <ayrton> intel integraded chipset drivers are built into the kernel right?
[23:52] <ZykoticK9> r4ykid, k - just asking.  Dosbox was very limited re-joystick buttons for me
[23:52] <ZykoticK9> freaky[t], yup
[23:52] <freaky[t]> ZykoticK9 ok great :D
[23:52] <genii-around> !infdo shred | wutzis
[23:52] <genii-around> !info shred | wutzis
[23:52] <minion35> wutzis: mash up the harddrive?
[23:52] <wutzis> lol
[23:52]  * genii-around grumbles
[23:53] <wutzis> minion35: sorry my english is awful, what would mash up be?
[23:53] <minion35> wutzis: I'm serious replace the drive with a new one, and keep your old one ... alot safer then giving out sensitive information.
[23:53] <mrdeb> wutzis: man shred
[23:54] <r4ykid> ZykoticK9, final question. Do you know by any chance if it is possible with Joy2Key or some other tool to remap a stick to the mouse?
[23:54] <genii-around> wutzis: "wipe" was the thing i was looking for
[23:54] <wutzis> minion35: i know you're serious i just wasnt able to translate mash up, mmmm may consider that, if it wasnt possible would there be any other way? (its still under warranty)
[23:54] <powpow> < looking for somekind of terminal script to rip dvd's to avi doesnt matter on what cl driven app
[23:54] <wutzis> genii-around: i may wipe actual files, but ones i had prior to last format wouldnt  be wiped i was looking for a solution for those
[23:54] <genii-around> !info wipe
[23:54] <ZykoticK9> r4ykid, i've only played with joy2key for a few minutes, didn't help in my case so i dropped it.  So i really don't know.  I've never had to remap buttons sorry (at least not outside of a game).  Good luck man.
[23:55] <minion35> genii-around: some information could still be recovered. Id recommend replacing the drive. Or use the wipe package.
[23:55] <genii-around> wutzis: Boot to livecd and do something like dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/sda        about 8 times
[23:56] <mrdeb> genii-around: what is the difference from shed to wipe
[23:56] <mrdeb> shred
[23:56] <genii-around> mrdeb: Not sure.\
[23:56] <r4ykid> ZykoticK9, hm ok, thank you for the help. Maybe i can find something on the internet that helps me. Else i have to play aquaria with mouse i guess. Was just testing stuff anyways :D
[23:57] <minion35> mrdeb: shred scatters and deletes. wipe permanently deletes, i think
[23:57] <mrdeb> what do you mean permanently
[23:57] <ayrton> synaptic does not have the kernel i want to upgrade to so how do i install it manually
[23:57] <plut0> i have a new 3tb disk that i'm trying to partition but ubuntu 10.04 only sees 2199gb, how do i fix this?
[23:58] <minion35> plut0: thats normal
[23:58] <minion35> mrdeb: as in wipes from the disk space
[23:58] <mrdeb> minion35: which is more effective
[23:58] <plut0> minion35: ok so how do i see the whole disk?
[23:59] <minion35> pluto: that is the whole disk
[23:59] <plut0> minion35: eh?
[23:59] <KXTwo> anyone in here good with programming logic, specifically basic pseudo code, arrays and for loops?
[23:59] <minion35> mrdeb: id wipe if i were doing it myself. or just replace the drive and keep the old one save


[22:18] <yasser> hi
[22:19] <yasser> i have lubuntu on a usb stick and am wondering how can i locate space for lubuntu from my hard drive?my main os is windows
[22:53] <niki89> evreytime i try to connect to wift it says cant connect to network
[23:39] <niki22> i have connected a Bluetooth headset to my laptop and disconnect it to use it on my phone,now it says failed to connect and won't connect back to my laptop?
 niki22, have you tried to "forget device" on your laptop and pair them again?
 niki89, does it happen with one particular network or with any wifi network?
 yasser, you can do it in the installer

[23:08] <SmokeEater85911> i like the cube effect, and the "rubber" windows and stuff
[23:08] <sally_> if I installed kubuntu but want to switch to regular ubuntu (by using gnome), what package(s) do I need to install?
[23:08] <Alex135> erm
[23:08] <Alex135> SmokeEater85911: that is mostly in gnome
[23:09] <SmokeEater85911> ah
[23:09] <Alex135> SmokeEater85911: so it would be in ubuntu, and not Kubuntu
[23:09] <Alex135> SmokeEater85911: but you can have both on the same install
[23:09] <SmokeEater85911> *shrug* oh well haha.. Ive read that ubuntu and kubuntu are one of the best linux builds
[23:09] <Alex135> SmokeEater85911: you have read correctly
[23:10] <SmokeEater85911> a friend of mine swears by Mandriva but I wouldnt know
[23:10] <Alex135> SmokeEater85911: its all really a matter of preference
[23:10] <Alex135> SmokeEater85911: Ubuntu is an easy one to start with though
[23:11] <SmokeEater85911> it looks similar to windows
[23:11] <mefisto__> SunStorm: there is a package called startupmanager you could install. I've never tried it though. for a description, type: apt-cache show startupmanager
[23:11] <SmokeEater85911> a start menu, system tray...
[23:11] <Alex135> did you have it install kde4.1 or what...
[23:12] <SmokeEater85911> yeah whatever the new one is on the site
[23:12] <Alex135> SmokeEater85911: oh
[23:12] <SmokeEater85911> I just downloaded that and Ill try this out.. if I dont like it, Ill try ubuntu or something else
[23:12] <SmokeEater85911> im just trying to get away from windows as much as possible
[23:12] <Alex135> SmokeEater85911: good for you, but i should warn you
[23:12] <SmokeEater85911> (67%)
[23:12] <Alex135> SmokeEater85911: that desktop environment (kde4) is not fully developed and has bugs
[23:13] <SmokeEater85911> well being that it is new, there will still be support for it and bug fixes yes?
[23:13] <Alex135> SmokeEater85911: yes
[23:13] <Alex135> SmokeEater85911: but its a real hastle to work with
[23:13] <SmokeEater85911> so then I will try to give it the benefit of the doubt ;)
[23:13] <Alex135> SmokeEater85911: but im sure you will do fine :)
[23:14] <SmokeEater85911> so the only major difference between ubuntu and kubuntu is the KDE ?
[23:14] <tomer_> hi if i run cmake
[23:14] <Alex135> yes
[23:14] <SmokeEater85911> hence the K in Kubuntu lol
[23:14] <Alex135> ubuntu runs gnome
[23:14] <Alex135> kubuntu runs kde
[23:14] <tomer_> and i get could not find kde4-config
[23:14] <SmokeEater85911> are they just different GUIs?
[23:14] <tomer_> what should i do?
[23:14] <Alex135> yes
[23:14] <mefisto__> sally_: to install ubuntu: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[23:15] <Alex135> but the programs are not cross compatable unless you have libraries for the other installed, which isn't hard
[23:15] <tomer_> im trying to build yakuake
[23:15] <SmokeEater85911> and arent there programs that will simulate a windows machine and allow you to run windows applications?
[23:15] <sally_> SmokeEater85911: vmware, virtualbox
[23:16] <SmokeEater85911> awesome
[23:16] <Alex135> however, they're capabilities are limited
[23:16] <SmokeEater85911> will it allow me to access applications on my other partition?
[23:16] <Alex135> erm... no
[23:16] <Alex135> well
[23:16] <SmokeEater85911> or would I have to re-download them on this one?
[23:16] <sally_> you can use vmware to run the windows installation on another partition
[23:17] <sally_> it's not dead simple to set up like usual vmware but it's very do-able
[23:17] <SmokeEater85911> for example I use photoshop cs3 a lot, and a few other graphics applications
[23:17] <Alex135> you will probably need to re-install them
[23:17] <Alex135> however you dont have the diskspace to do it
[23:17] <SmokeEater85911> agreed
[23:17] <sally_> uhh
[23:17] <SmokeEater85911> not until i can figure out how to make windows give me more lol
[23:17] <SmokeEater85911> k finally installed
[23:17] <sally_> did you see what I just wrote?
[23:17] <sally_> ah fuck it
[23:17] <Alex135> yes we saw it
[23:18] <mefisto__> tomer_: yakuake is in repos
[23:18] <Alex135> Sally_: he saw
[23:18] <tomer_> repos? what does that mean?
[23:18] <SmokeEater85911> so now do I need to get on windows and run EasyBCD?
[23:18] <SmokeEater85911> to set up a new boot to enable the dual boot?
[23:18] <Alex135> its already setup
[23:18] <mefisto__> tomer_: it means you don't have to build it. you can just type in konsole: sudo apt-get install yakuake
[23:18] <Alex135> restart your computer and you will see
[23:19] <Alex135> atliest, it should be
[23:19] <SmokeEater85911> and I dont need the cd anymore correct?
[23:19] <Alex135> nope
[23:19] <tomer_> but i want to build it so i can modify it
[23:19] <tomer_> so i want to build it from source
[23:19] <Alex135> but i would keep it around
[23:19] <SmokeEater85911> i will JIC, its a DVD-RW anyway..
[23:19] <mefisto__> tomer_: repos = repositories, which is where installable packages are stored and downloaded from
[23:19] <Alex135> !repositories
[23:20] <SmokeEater85911> ah, yup set up a nice boot menu for me
[23:20] <Alex135> :)
[23:20] <Alex135> welcome to grub boot loader
[23:20] <SmokeEater85911> brb one sec
[23:20] <Alex135> k
[23:21] <SmokeEater85911> yay installation works
[23:21] <SmokeEater85911> now to figure this all out
[23:21] <Alex135> you should run the updates now
[23:22] <Alex135> and configuring the video card can sometimes be a pain....
[23:22] <SmokeEater85911> i need to get the wifi connected first
[23:22] <Alex135> yes, it does help
[23:23] <SmokeEater85911> hardware driver manager?
[23:23] <Alex135> i am not sure how to get the wifi working, it worked for me from the start
[23:23] <Alex135> it changes on what hardware you have
[23:23] <SmokeEater85911> it says "no proprietary drivers are in use on this system
[23:23] <SmokeEater85911> and it lists my graphics driver
[23:25] <Alex135> can someone help SmokeEater get his wifi working, im not good with that....
[23:25] <SmokeEater85911> so ill need to find the driver for my NVIDIA card
[23:25] <SmokeEater85911> hold on i think i got my wifi
[23:25] <Alex135> video card is easy, there are methods to do it already on your system
[23:26] <SmokeEater85911> i clicked on it and it lists all the WLANs in my area and listed mine, I put my passphrase in and now im waiting
[23:26] <Alex135> it should work....
[23:26] <mefisto__> SmokeEater85911: if your nvidia card is listed in hardware drivers manager, you can tick the box and it should download and install the proprietary driver for your card
[23:27] <SmokeEater85911> hmm its sitting 57%
[23:27] <Alex135> SmokeEater85911: its probably gonna have probs authenticating.... not sure what to do there... mine has alwase worked
[23:28] <Alex135> ofcourse i have a open network without a wep key
[23:28] <SmokeEater85911> yeah I have a wep key it says its at 28% configuring device
[23:29] <SmokeEater85911> connection failure
[23:30] <Alex135> not sure...
[23:31] <SmokeEater85911> crap
[23:31] <SmokeEater85911> anybody else here might know what to do with this wifi problem?
[23:33] <SmokeEater85911> well at least I got it installed hah
[23:33] <SmokeEater85911> but it doesnt do me much good w/o internet
[23:34] <Alex135> you have lan?
[23:34] <Alex135> and its able to be setup, just might take some work
[23:34] <Alex135> im no good at it.... sorry
[23:34] <SmokeEater85911> if I take it all the way into the other room
[23:35] <Alex135> oh my word i dont think its reasonable to need to get off your but to move the laptop, you should stay there and be lazy :P
[23:35] <SmokeEater85911> maybe if I hook it up via LAN it can download an update or something to help this?
[23:35] <SmokeEater85911> haha
[23:35] <Alex135> ya, that would be the first option
[23:35] <Alex135> try that
[23:36] <mefisto__> SmokeEater85911: but you need to enter your WEP key somewhere, right?
[23:36] <SmokeEater85911> I already entered it
[23:36] <SmokeEater85911> and then it failed, and I entered it again
[23:37] <SmokeEater85911> k well im going to eat and Ill be back to try some more
[23:37] <SmokeEater85911> thanks alex for the help, will you be around in maybe an hour?
[23:37] <acke> hey what does "quiet" and "splash" mean after the "initrd.img"?
[23:38] <SmokeEater85911> afk
[23:38] <acke> and can buth be safeley removed from the string "append="quiet splash""
[23:39] <acke> can the expression append="quiet splash" be removed without complications?
[23:39] <acke> :)
[23:39] <mefisto__> acke: removed from what? grub?
[23:40] <acke> yaboot.conf
[23:40] <acke> ;)
[23:40] <Alex135> erm ya
[23:40] <Alex135> SmokeEater85911: i will
[23:41] <mefisto__> yaboot.conf ?? which is where?
[23:41] <Alex135> SmokeEater85911: ill be around
[23:41] <acke> mefisto__: depends on your system. are you running a ppc system?
[23:42] <acke> its in /etc/
[23:42] <mefisto__> acke: no
[23:42] <acke> mefisto__: /etc/yaboot.conf
[23:42] <acke> mefisto__: it kindof looks similar to grub.list
[23:43] <acke> so i thouht it might not matter if it was mentioned in a grub or yaboot conf file. ;)
[23:43] <mefisto__> acke: ok, well in grub, quiet and splash can safely be removed
[23:43] <sourcemaker> I can see an encrypted dvd but I regionset and libdvdcss2 has been installed?
[23:43] <sourcemaker> sorry... can not see
[23:43] <acke> mefisto__: kk. i hope the append thing in yaboot.conf is okay to remove aswell.
[23:43] <mefisto__> acke: quiet supresses some boot messages and just shows important ones
[23:44] <acke> and splash lets me se the splash and not the messages.
[23:44] <mefisto__> acke: and splash is the graphical boot splash, so removing that will give you a text-only bootup
[23:44] <acke> grrrrr. dont get it. mobilephones and windows uses splash. its so crappy. hate it.
[23:44] <acke> :P
[23:45] <acke> mefisto__: thanks :)
[23:46] <mefisto__> acke: you could replace quiet with verbose if you want more detailed boot messages. I think the default is quiet anyway (ie if you take quiet out, it will still be quiet)
[23:47] <SmokeEater85911> ugh gonna be a couple more mins before I eat, so Ill attempt to plug this directly into my router
[23:47] <acke> mefisto__: aah thats nice to know. is the boot up info logged somewhere?
[23:49] <mefisto__> acke: you'll find logs in /var/log or you can use ksystemlog if you want a gui app to see the various logs
[23:52] <TheMaxzilla> Okay, I want this script (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38063/) to run at startup, Does the script look like it will work?
[23:53] <SmokeEater85911> can anybody help me with my WLAN/LAN issue?
[23:54] <TheMaxzilla> Shoot.
[23:54] <SmokeEater85911> I cant get my wireless or lan to work
[23:55] <SmokeEater85911> it detects my wireless is there, but wont connect, even after I enter my WEP key
[23:55] <mefisto__> TheMaxzilla: is kde-window-manager a valid command?
[23:56] <acke> mefisto__: okay, yaboot doesnt seems to be logging boot (to standard /var/log/boot.log). maybe a feature request...
[23:56] <TheMaxzilla> mefisto__: Yes
[23:56] <TheMaxzilla> It's supposed to be something else
[23:57] <SmokeEater85911> hmmmm
[23:57] <mefisto__> acke: maybe kern.log is what you're looking for?
[23:57] <B_Raven> Is there an equivalent key combination for ubuntu as the ctrl-shift-a of debian? (Generates a next line character in apps such as xchat)
[23:58] <TheMaxzilla> mefisto__: This would be the correct version. (http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/38065/)
[23:59] <SmokeEater85911> anybody know how to get the wlan/lan working?

[06:18] <cadfix> hello to everybody
[06:23] <cadfix> does anybody know which is the properly value for the JAVA_HOME enviroment variable in ubuntu?


[17:41] <slangasek> jsalisbury: is this bug something that you're seeing crop up in Ubuntu 17.10? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1724911
[17:42] <apw> slangasek, have you tried booting without vt.handoff set ?
[17:43] <slangasek> apw: I have tried nothing beyond what I've reported in the bug so far :)
[17:43] <slangasek> apw: I mentioned vt.handoff because that was one of the things I suspect and I will try to debug :)
[17:43] <apw> slangasek, i will note i just switched to vt3 and have a getty on there on my intel based latop
[17:44] <apw> x250
[17:44] <slangasek> apw: docked? vt.handoff y/n?
[17:44] <apw> and it is interactible
[17:44] <apw> not docked right now, though i have been, and with vt.handoff set
[17:44] <slangasek> k
[17:44] <apw> i will check next time i am docked to see if it differs then
[17:44] <apw> would you have booted docked ?
[17:45] <slangasek> apw: yes
[17:46] <apw> likely i booted undocked, and docked later, anyhow, will look to see what happens to the vts when i dock next
[17:46] <apw> which i will try to do after food
[17:47] <apw> slangasek, though if gdm is on vt1 it is not entirely obvious we should be handing off to vt7
[17:47] <slangasek> apw: yes, and I'm trying to decide whether that is reasonable and safe to change in SRU
[17:47] <slangasek> if vt.handoff is the culprit for my current problem, that certainly tilts the needle
[18:01] <slangasek> apw: problem reproducible with vt.handoff disabled.
[18:23] <apw> slangasek, if it is not an urgent fix for anything we should change it in bertie basset
[18:23] <apw> and evaluate it there, will add it to my BB board to remind self
[18:34] <slangasek> yep
[18:38] <apw> slangasek, i've just slammed this into mu dock and i have VTs on both screens
