[18:10] <BluesKaj> PowerTux, what kind of output does traceroute give you now ?
[18:10] <ChesterX> hey, I just installed ubuntu-netbook 10.10 . I would like to switch the clock from am/pm to 24h, but I can t seem to find the option for this. Can anyone tell me where it is hiding?
[18:11] <biopyte> jrib, ok thanks
[18:11] <jrib> ChesterX: that's determined by our locale
[18:11] <sipior> PowerTux: you might have a go with the "-M tcp" option to traceroute.
[18:11] <PowerTux> BluesKaj, Destination not reached
[18:11] <ChesterX> jrib, what do you mean by "our locale"?
[18:11] <jrib> ChesterX: that's determined by *your* locale
[18:12] <sipior> PowerTux: specify a port as needed with "-p". depends a bit on how your network access is set up, but you might have some luck there.
[18:12] <PowerTux> BluesKaj, my proxy is autenticated so, should i need to put user and password to run traceroute ?
[18:12] <evolone> whats up people
[18:14] <PowerTux> sipior  my proxy is autenticated so, should i need to pass user and password parameters to run traceroute ?
[18:14] <ChesterX> jrib, do you mean the time zone I chose? The thing is, in the option it is 19:14 but in the header there is written 7:14pm
[18:15] <jrib> ChesterX: no, I mean the locale :/
[18:15] <antihero> How do I edit dpkgs
[18:15] <sipior> PowerTux: good question. how do you normally authenticate?
[18:15] <jrib> antihero: see my last message to you...
[18:15] <jrib> ChesterX: for example, run: locale -k LC_TIME
[18:16] <PowerTux> sipior, in Firefox for example
[18:16] <hetii> Hello :)
[18:16] <sipior> PowerTux: best bet is to talk to the proxy admin, and see if you can work something out.
[18:16] <antihero> cheers
[18:16] <antihero> this could be useful to learn
[18:17] <PowerTux> sipior thanks
[18:17] <jrib> ChesterX: although google tells me: http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1374734 so maybe you can try that instead of messing with your locale
[18:17] <ChesterX> jrib, I ll take a look at it
[18:18] <antihero> jrib: Does this cover editing packages made by checkinstall?
[18:18] <antivirtel> llutz no other suggestions?
[18:18] <jrib> antihero: checkinstall sucks, don't use it for anything you care about at all
[18:18] <hetii> Is it possible somehow synchronized by ubuntu one ikons that i add to my panel ? if not how to add them my script ? i found that some off the activator are in file:///home/I/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers
[18:18] <llutz> antivirtel: sry no
[18:19] <antihero> jrib: Even if stuff is *only* available in source
[18:19] <hetii> but i`m not sure when system read them
[18:19] <antivirtel> ok, but thanks llutz
[18:19] <jrib> antihero: yes, checkinstall always sucks
[18:19] <antihero> jrib: so what do I do if something is only available as a source tarball? make a deb from scratch?
[18:19] <jrib> antihero: yes
[18:19] <antihero> jrib: And then repeat this every time the code is uploaded?
[18:20] <antihero> *updated
[18:20] <jrib> antihero: repeat what?  I told you to do 3 things earlier, if you took a few minutes to do them, you would not have this question :/
[18:20] <sipior> antihero: if you're looking for a nice way to keep track of software you're installing from source, in /usr/local/ say, have a look at GNU Stow.
[18:20] <antihero> jrib: Okay.
[18:20] <Dr_Willis> I was thinking i saw some other deb-helper type tools a few weekd ago but i rarely mess with them.
[18:21] <Linden940> i am trying to send files onto a ubs drive and its going very very slow....anyone have a clue as to why or how to fix it?
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> Linden940:  ive noticed that also at times. check 'dmesg' for any possible errors.
[18:21] <Linden940> it is all so taking up alot of the system cpu power
[18:21] <Dr_Willis> Linden940:  never noticed an actual fix. . some times its fast.. some times slow.
[18:22] <Linden940> where would i go 2 check that Dr_Willis ?
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> Hopeing it gets fixed in 11.04 (not tried it in there yet)
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> Linden940:   'dmesg' command May give some error/info messages
[18:22] <Linden940> Dr_Willis, its been slow for a few weeks now lol
[18:22] <Linden940> Dr_Willis, thats what i thought an alot of things came up....i will dig in that later lol

[18:23] <danileigh79> dl'd virtualbox to access winxp from inside ubuntu, how do I associate with existing winXP partition?
[18:23] <Dr_Willis> danileigh79:  tahts NOT reccomended..
[18:23] <Dr_Willis> danileigh79:  the virtualbox docs mention how to do it.. they also give strong warnings that using it with a 'real' hard drive can cause data loss.
[18:24] <danileigh79> what's recommended to be able to access my WinXP data while in Ubuntu?
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> danileigh79:  you can easially mount the windows drive and access th actual 'data' on the drive
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> !ntfs-3g | danileigh79
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> danileigh79:  thats not the same as booting the HD in virtualbox
[18:25] <Dr_Willis> 2 radically differnt 'things'
[18:25] <GeorgeA> is there a way to turn off gnome-session warnings? like the: gnome-session lasted only 10 seconds, etc.
[18:25] <danileigh79> I'm trying to access itunes to sync iphone... best recommendation without switching back to WinXP partition?
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: you can read and write to NTFS from Ubuntu. Just mount the partition and you can manipulate and read the data

[18:26] <brandon420> i just upgraded to 10.04 and my computer is being super slow..... ideas?

[18:27] <YankDownUnder> danileigh79, I've tried everything to get iTunes to run with wine/Crossover/PlayOnLinux - you name it - it just don't work, but you can run it in a VM - easiest and least of headaches.

[18:29] <gpc> hope you figure it out
[18:29] <Linden940> danileigh79, buy a off brand one

[18:31] <bigbang12> monk, after i did ctrl+alt+f7 it is hanged at checking battery state ....
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: you can use the closed source virtualbox and your windows cd to run itunes you will be running BOTH OSes at the same time so your PC may struggle if its a low to medium spec
[18:32] <Linden940> bigbang12, wait
[18:32] <bigbang12> monk, and not able to boot further
[18:32] <tumii66> that site is no use for me i don't understand since my xorg.conf doesn't have any strings like that page has
[18:32] <g_0_0> onebitxajax, try typing - sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - in the terminal
[18:32] <danileigh79> thx actionparsnip
[18:33] <Linden940> bigbang12, can you reinstall 10.10 with out loseing any data? if so just try another install
[18:33] <monk> bigbang12, X sounds borked

[18:34] <ActionParsnip> danileigh79: this slowness will only happen while the vbox is running. If you dualboot i'd use the windows side to manipulate the device but you will need to reboot.
[18:34] <brandon420> guys, how do i update to 10.10 from 10.04?
[18:34] <onebitxajax> g_0_0: now I am reinstalling nvidia drivers

[18:35] <monk> bigbang12, what do you have?
[18:35] <jrib> v0lksman, brandon420: « update-manager -d » is not correct.  As ActionParsnip points out, that's for devel releases
[18:35] <monk> bigbang12, gfx wise
[18:35] <danileigh79> Action, rockbox on iphone?

[18:37] <Linden940> danileigh79, if u type out part of someones name hit the tab key so it spells the rest of it out so it will show up red on there screen so they know you are talking to them

[18:38] <danileigh79> Linden940, Thx, I see that now, haven't used irc in over 10 yrs
[18:38] <jrib> brandon420: the page ubottu gave you, tells you that you need to change preferences so that update-manager does not look only for LTS releases.  Did you do that?
[18:38] <Linden940> aerofly5, go to the ubuntu software center...firefox is in there and is one click download and install
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> brandon420: i advise you use the server method personally. Edit the text file stated or your OS will only upgrade if a

[18:39] <romistrub> is there any way to run ubuntu inside win7? easily? for an idiot?
[18:39] <aerofly5> Linden940: It's not firefox I need, it's fox
[18:39] <monk> bigbang12, and it started its crap when you installed nVidia?
[18:39] <jrib> romistrub: virtual box?
[18:39] <ActionParsnip> brandon420: LTS is available. Then run the commands given

When I boot from CD everything is fine where it shows the purple loading screen, until the point where I guess it would move to the CD's menu. Rather than showing the menu it shows a heavily distorted view of whatever I last on my screen (desktop, media player etc). Any idea what might be wrong and how I can fix it?

[18:42] <aerofly5> ubottu: No, it is a source pack that you have to download and compile yourself

[18:50] <doingtherytthing> Im removing my license windows now replacing it with ubuntu 10.04 somebody stop me? using dv6t i7 series....
[18:50] <aeon-ltd> brandon420: hmm, use a terminal, do 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade' then try again
[18:50] <aerofly5> doingtherytthing: DO IT! Thats what I did and I don't regret it
[18:51] <gnewb> Yugnoswam: Here it is:> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1628270
[18:51] <_jorde> Asstyx that seems to have done it, thanks =]
[18:51] <gnewb> Yugnoswam: It is a matter of replacing or fixing the boot.
[18:51] <brandon420> aeon-ltd, it didnt do anything.
[18:51] <Yugnoswam> gnewb: check private
[18:52] <aerofly5> when I try to compile fox, I get lgl and lglu missing error. Can't find any fixes through google, though heaps of people have this problem. Does anyone know what lgl and lglu are?
[18:52] <aeon-ltd> brandon420: are you sure? there were no packages to update nor did it update your sources?
[18:52] <brandon420> aeon-ltd, just said 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove, and 0 not upgraded
[18:52] <g_0_0> onebitxajax, go to system appearance - choose visual effects - then extra - see if it can find the drivers for you
[18:52] <aeon-ltd> brandon420: what about the update?
[18:53] <ubun> is it possible to uninstall ubuntu 10.10.. (will that mess up windows>?)

[18:53] <aerofly5> when I try to compile fox, I get lgl and lglu missing error. Can't find any fixes through google, though heaps of people have this problem. Does anyone know what lgl and lglu are?
[18:53] <aeon-ltd> ubun: you don't uninstall, you just repartition and reinstall mbr to get the windows boot loader again
[18:53] <brandon420> aeon-ltd, "done"
[18:53] <YankDownUnder> aerofly5, libGLut
[18:53] <aeon-ltd> brandon420: then running update manager?
[18:54] <aerofly5> YankDownUnder: thankyou very much. Been looking for that bit of info for weeks
[18:54] <brandon420> aeon-ltd, trying now.
[18:54] <ConvolutedMusing> Okay, so after doing a checksum on my ubuntu ISO, it doesn't match anything on the UbuntuHashes page. I'm guessing this means it is borked. Apart from re-downloading the ISO, is there anything I can do to fix it?
[18:54] <nabukadnezar43> hi how do i update java? (previously installed with apt-get)
[18:55] <brandon420> aeon-ltd, same problem
[18:55] <nabukadnezar43> i downloaded latest jdk from sun, but it just extract the bin to a folder
[18:55] <nabukadnezar43> how do i get ubuntu to see that?
[18:55] <aeon-ltd> brandon420: no idea then, sorry
[18:55] <zookalicious> ConvolutedMusing - No unfortunately. Check again to make sure it doesn't match any, if it doesn't you'll have to redownload (or order a CD)
[18:55] <brandon420> mmffferrrr
[18:55] <brandon420> grrrrr upgradesss
[18:56] <brandon420> i should have stayed at 9.04
[18:56] <_jorde> @nabukadnezar43, you can just apt-get update and then use apt-get upgrade to upgrade your packages
[18:56] <_jorde> should be in there
[18:56] <ConvolutedMusing> zookalicious: Okay. That kinda sucks, but thanks for the info.
[18:56] <nabukadnezar43> well it doesnt if newer version is not in the repositories
[18:56] <ubun> can you uninstall ubuntu.?
[18:56] <antihero> Sweet, all working nicely with stow
[18:56] <_jorde> in that case it won't no
[18:56] <jA_cOp> How can I change the grub background image with 10.10 netbook edition?
[18:57] <_jorde> what kind of file did you download?
[18:57] <jA_cOp> ?
[18:57] <zookalicious> ConvolutedMusing: Yeah I know, that happened to me once. But think about it this way, it's much better that you checked instead of having to deal with a bad installation due to the corrupted image.
[18:57] <theLE> hey. I'm having some problems getting ubuntu to install correctly. I'm trying to get it to run off of an external drive. the install goes fine but GRUB never shows when I boot the PC even though I have it set to boot from an external drive. any ideas?
[18:58] <ConvolutedMusing> zookalicious: In fact, I hate Firefox's search. Just realised the ISO does match the checksum. So, I guess I need to check the CD now.
[18:58] <n2nrv> I have a wireless mouse that wont move the cursor under 10.10 but my wired one and touch pad still work. The wireless also works under winXP  any suggestions?
[18:58] <zookalicious> theLE: first make sure your motherboard supports booting from USB, and during the installation where did you specify the bootloader be installed.
[18:58] <hdtdi> hi guys i had a microphone but i called a friend on skype and he cant hear me.. now i check sound preferences and the input level dont move when i talk. i need to restart my computer and it will be ok for a while and then again it stops.. how can i fix that?
[18:58] <JuJuBee> I installed 10.10 to a separate partition and I did not mount all devices during install.  Can I copy the lines in fstab to the new install to mount on startup now?
[18:58] <aerofly5> theLE: I have always had problems booting from external drives. If you find an answer, please let me know what it is
[18:58] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: it'a bin file
[18:59] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: when i do "sh filename" it just extracts a jdk folder
[18:59] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, did you set the executable bit on your .bin file?
[18:59] <zookalicious> ConvolutedMusing: Hmm, if you burn it with Brasero there should be an option to verify the image after it's burnt. Only takes an extra minute or two ussually
[18:59] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: you mean "chmod +x filename"?
[19:00] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43: you need to execute the binary file
[19:00] <Asstyx> nabukadnezar43, i would go with chmod a+x ./filename.bin
[19:01] <jake__> I am trying to find a program to create techno music  does any one know where i could get it? and i want one like fruity loops
[19:01] <jake__> just better
[19:01] <jake__> and a full edition
[19:01] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: it gives me command not found error
[19:01] <zookalicious> jake__ Audacity is worth a look. There's a lot more but I don't use them much
[19:01] <aerofly5> jake__: lmms, it's what I use. available from the software centre
[19:01] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: when i do sh .bin it extracts the content of the jdk
[19:02] <YankDownUnder> SooperLooper
[19:02] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, you did set the bit or not?
[19:02] <aerofly5> jake__: lmms is similar to fl
[19:02] <nabukadnezar43> yes i did with "sudo chmod a+x ...."
[19:02] <aerofly5> jake__: vut audacity is also worth a look
[19:02] <_jorde> (properties -> permissions -> Allow executing file as program)
[19:02] <_jorde> oh ok
[19:02] <nabukadnezar43> did that too
[19:02] <george_> hello friends! how can I share internet connection on kubuntu 10.10?
[19:02] <area51pilot> is there a good frontend for rsync?
[19:03] <theLE> zookalicious: I believe it does support booting from USB and I told it to install the bootloader on the external drive
[19:03] <theLE> aerofly5: will do
[19:03] <ubun> how can you uninstall ubuntu
[19:03] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43 checking what it does on mine
[19:03] <aeon-ltd> ubun: you don't uninstall, you just repartition and reinstall mbr to get the windows boot loader again
[19:03] <zookalicious> area51pilot: try Deja Dup or time drive or back in time
[19:03] <_jorde> ubun: depends on how you installed ubuntu
[19:03] <alx_> #blobstore
[19:04] <ubun> aeon-ltd: do i need the windows install disk?
[19:04] <jake__> where would i get Vut Audacity
[19:04] <aeon-ltd> ubun: wubi has a uninstaller/remove tool if you use that
[19:04] <aeon-ltd> ubun: how did you dual boot?
[19:04] <jake__> where would i get Audacity
[19:04] <aeon-ltd> !audacity | jake__
[19:04] <aeon-ltd> jake__: is it not in the repos?
[19:04] <aerofly5> jake__: sorry, I made a typo. But, instead of vut. audacity is also available from the software centre
[19:05] <zookalicious> theLE: someone else earlier stated that they have trouble with booting from external drives. I think if you a linux installation on the pc your booting off of you can run update grub with the external drive plugged in, boot up normally, and select the external drive from grub, but thats just a theory, I've never actually tried it and the theory only comes from the fact that I once ran update-grub with a drive in and it added the entries to it
[19:05] <george_> jake_: try ubuntu software center
[19:05] <jake__> its not in the ubuntu software center
[19:05] <Guest95557> goodevening
[19:05] <ubun> aeon-ltd: i did dual boot idk how ever it said to in the disk... (works fine, but seems like wireless on a labtop is almost impossible.) found alot of threads and different ways to fix it but nothing worked,,,
[19:06] <aerofly5> jake__: thats where I got it from
[19:06] <Guest95557> !list
[19:06] <YankDownUnder> If you want to CREATE music, not edit stuff, you should check out: SooperLooper, Rosegarden, Jokosher. Audacity is merely an editor.
[19:06] <Guest95557> !list
[19:06] <zookalicious> its "/list"
[19:06] <jake__> Is it a packaged thing?
[19:06] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, just ./jdk-6u23-linux-x64.bin
[19:07] <_jorde> if you're using the 64 bit one
[19:07] <Staticwave_ace> Hello all, I just installed ubuntu-server 10.10 on a gateway laptop with a Marvel 88E8038 ethernet card and there is something seriously wrong with the networking, can anyone assist?
[19:07] <aeon-ltd> ubun: no, how did you dual boot? the livecd or wubi?
[19:07] <jake__> Is it a package?
[19:07] <ubun> aeon-ltd: live cd
[19:08] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: it extract files, it does not update java jdk and jre
[19:08] <zookalicious> Staticwave_ace: sorry I would help but I'm in a lecture. Stick around though and ask again in a bit, someone might be able to help you then
[19:08] <Staticwave_ace> zookalicious: kk
[19:08] <nabukadnezar43> i have old files in usr/lib/jvm, tried to put it there, didnt take effect
[19:08] <nits_hunter> ~~ documentation
[19:09] <zookalicious> Staticwave_ace: also try giving a few more details. It will make it easier for us to help :)
[19:09] <nits_hunter> how do we get ubottu to find us stuff from its db...???
[19:09] <zookalicious> (like what is wrong specifically, what doesn't work, what does, what you're trying to do)
[19:09] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, when I do it it works fine for me
[19:10] <Staticwave_ace> zookalicious: well, networking "works" but there's serious packet loss and hangups
[19:10] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: ok try this one http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
[19:10] <jake__> Is Audacity a package?
[19:10] <aerofly5> does anyone know where I can download sqlite with headers
[19:10] <YankDownUnder> jake__, Are you trying to edit audio, or create audio?
[19:10] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: click verify your version there, lets see if it's the latest
[19:11] <aerofly5> does anyone know where I can download sqlite with headers
[19:11] <zookalicious> (ehhhhh.... I'm sort of still paying attention...but now I'm curious) Staticwave-ace: Are you using Samba or just accessing it via ssh?
[19:11] <jake__> Create techno songs/beats like deadmau5 and basehunter does
[19:11] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, what does it say when you do $ java -version
[19:11] <Staticwave_ace> zookalicious: this happens for all connections, ping, ssh, apt-get
[19:11] <_jorde> in the terminal?
[19:12] <YankDownUnder> jake__, Then, as I've said, Jokosher, Rosegarden, SooperLooper.
[19:12] <nabukadnezar43> 1.6.0_20 where it should be 1.6.0_23
[19:12] <zookalicious> Staticwave-ace: If it "works" with packet loss, it could be your hardware. Have you tested your cable / Gateway with other systems? Or are you certain it is exclusive to your ubuntu server?
[19:12] <jake__> where could i find them at?
[19:13] <YankDownUnder> jake__, They're in the repos.
[19:13] <jake__> Ok
[19:13] <zookalicious> jake__ Software Center
[19:13] <Staticwave_ace> zookalicious: the cable/configuration of the network is known good at that drop, and the laptop worked in windows
[19:14] <zookalicious> Staticwave_ace: hmm
[19:14] <aerofly5> does anyone know where I can download sqlite with headers?
[19:14] <jake__> Is the Rosegarden a package?
[19:14] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: what does yours say?
[19:14] <jrib> aerofly5: why are you not using the repositories?  What are you trying to accomplish?
[19:15] <nanu> #join
[19:15] <jake__> Is the Rosegarden a package?
[19:15] <thehumanerror> #join?
[19:15] <xangua>  !info rosegarden | jake__
[19:15] <YankDownUnder> jake__, I think that before you ask the question, you might google.
[19:15] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, mine's fine
[19:16] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: yeah mine is fine too except that it's an old version
[19:16] <zookalicious> Staticwave_ace: does "dmesg | grep eth1" turn anything up? (or eth0 or whatever your ethernet card is called)
[19:16] <SuperPaco69> I need tp make a NAT any good tutorial.. the ones I found in google are not that good
[19:16] <_jorde> so your java -version returns _20?
[19:16] <damasceno> Someone here knows how can i make a RAID 0+1?
[19:16] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: yeah
[19:16] <jake__> Yeah thats the correct one
[19:16] <area51pilot> how owuld I get a backup utility to sync with a directory mounted from a Windows share?
[19:17] <area51pilot> I dont get any options but local
[19:17] <Staticwave_ace> zookalicious: http://paste.ubuntu.com/562160/
[19:17] <_jorde> mm gimme a sec
[19:17] <thehumanerror> Hey there, I need to enable Adobe Air and Adobe Flash Plugin 10 in "Ubuntu Software Centre"
[19:17] <thehumanerror> I think it tries to add the repos
[19:17] <thehumanerror> but it doesn't work
[19:17] <Popelux> ciao
[19:17] <Popelux> !list
[19:17] <thehumanerror> maverick-partner is already there, I think
[19:18] <marioooosthegoos> where does ubuntu control of set the window manager>?
[19:18] <thehumanerror> when I click "Use  This Source" it flicks around but the "Install" option doesn't come up
[19:18] <jake__> Thank you!
[19:18] <xangua> thehumanerror: if you already enabled the partner repository: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer adobeair
[19:18] <thehumanerror> marioooosthegoos: I think that's manual
[19:19] <thehumanerror> xangua: Okay, thanks, so it's a bug in Software Center?
[19:19] <marioooosthegoos> actuall trying to put openbox on mint and it became unbootable
[19:19] <marioooosthegoos> wont go past the login
[19:20] <marioooosthegoos> well it boots jsut wont log in
[19:20] <zookalicious> Staticwave_ace: hmmm sorry, I would suggest "ifconfig eth0 up" but the networking does work to an extent... Unfortunately I don't see anything that jumps out to me. Also I have to leave to switch classes, but like I said, try asking in here again later, hopefully you'll find someone more knowledgeable than I. Good luck!
[19:20] <crickj> why has running 'sudo tasksel remove lamp-server' removed vlc media player?
[19:20] <thehumanerror> itsays unable to locate package flashplugin-installer
[19:21] <thehumanerror> crickj: Fun fact - you can do package tasks with Synaptic
[19:21] <thehumanerror> I found that out today
[19:21] <thehumanerror> crickj: No idea on your problem though
[19:22] <crickj> thehumanerror: I try to avoid Synaptic (worst searching function ever)
[19:22] <SuperPaco69> I need tp make a NAT any good tutorial.. the ones I found in google are not that good
[19:22] <Staticwave_ace> [5~[5~[6~[6~[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[A[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[B[5~OH[6~
[19:22] <Pici> Staticwave_ace: Are you done?
[19:22] <thehumanerror> crickj: it is sometimes lame, but when you get the hang of the fact that it's got three different ways of searching, as far as I can tell, it's not so bad
[19:22] <redsnorf> Hi all.  Does anybody have any idea how to get multimedia keys to affect all sound devices/cards?  Specifically I want the mute button on my keyboard to mute my speakers as well as my headset.  I'm on ubuntu 10.04 LTS 64bit.  Thanks in advance for any pointers.
[19:23] <crickj> thehumanerror: three different ways?
[19:23] <thehumanerror> crickj: Quick search, Search, and typing in the window
[19:23] <thehumanerror> yeah
[19:23] <crickj> oh
[19:23] <rtdos> dumb question: where are the standard *nix utility directories for running commands that are not build in, such as sh, bash, ping, etc. ?
[19:23] <crickj> anyway... I still don't know why removing the lamp-server removes vlc and libpulseaudio
[19:23] <rtdos> ...the execution directories?
[19:24] <thehumanerror> crickj: Different ones obey the scope of searches you've already done or how you've narrowed it down using the bar on the left, but I think Ctrl-F doesn't
[19:24] <Pici> rtdos: /bin/ usually.  Check your $PATH and `which ping` , for example.
[19:24] <Pici> rtdos: You also may want to take a look at the hier manpage: man hier
[19:25] <crickj> thehumanerror: thanks - I've only ever noticed the search box on the toolbar
[19:27] <thehumanerror> well try the other two
[19:27] <thehumanerror> when you click in the box and type
[19:27] <thehumanerror> that only searches the beginning of package names
[19:27] <thehumanerror> but if you know the name of the package, like vlc, or want to see all the different packages that start with vlc-
[19:27] <thehumanerror> then it's quite good to just click in the box and type
[19:27] <crickj> can you use 'grep'-like syntax? -i.e *vlc
[19:27] <blag> what is the default location where xulrunner install apps like standalone chatzilla?
[19:27] <thehumanerror> holeh shit
[19:27] <thehumanerror> I don't know
[19:27] <blag> thehumanerror: no swearing in this channel, please
[19:27] <thehumanerror> I don't use that kind of stuff, bit advanced
[19:27] <thehumanerror> sorry
[19:27] <thehumanerror> you a bot?
[19:27] <thehumanerror> if so, you're slow ;)
[19:27] <blag> thehumanerror: nope, not a bot
[19:27] <FloodBot1> thehumanerror: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:27] <blag> thehumanerror: thats a bot ;-)
[19:27] <thehumanerror> ooh, now I type too fast as well
[19:27] <thehumanerror> frackers
[19:27] <aerofly5> jrib: I'm a linux newbie, and I have no idea what you're talking about
[19:27] <thehumanerror> crickj: What I just told you about the tasksel like functionality in Synaptic
[19:27] <thehumanerror> I think you have to have tasksel installed, because I can't find it any more
[19:28] <thehumanerror> as I removed it after I found that feature!
[19:30] <Pici> thehumanerror: tasksel itself should be installed by default.
[19:30] <thehumanerror> It's not in Desktop
[19:30] <crickj> thehumanerror: tasksel was very useful for installing lamp-sever - not so good, it seems, for removing it
[19:30] <thehumanerror> at least, my fresh 10.10 amd64 box doesn't have it
[19:30] <thehumanerror> yeah
[19:30] <thehumanerror> you know
[19:30] <thehumanerror> you can look in /etc
[19:30] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, are you using openjdk or the sun-jdk?
[19:30] <thehumanerror> to see what the "tasks" do
[19:30] <FloodBot1> thehumanerror: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:30] <thehumanerror> that might help
[19:30] <_jorde> you can check it by running $ sudo update-alternatives --config java
[19:30] <Pici> thehumanerror: Hrm, you may be right about that.  Odd.
[19:30] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: openjdk
[19:30] <aerofly5> does anyone know where I can download sqlite with headers?
[19:30] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: Quick question for you... Do you have a nVidia graphics card? If so, did you have any problems installing the 64-bit 10.10?
[19:30] <linxeh> is it possible to sudo to another user and run X applications successfully? how do I do it if so ?
[19:30] <_jorde> set it to the sun one if you want to use the latest one
[19:30] <thehumanerror> well I thought it was because Synaptic has that feature so it wasn't necessary - but now I think I've found that that feature's only available in Syn if you have installed the tasksel package
[19:30] <linxeh> eg, to sudo to bash as another user then run xterm, gedit or whatever from the command line ?
[19:30] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: how do i do that? if i knew i'd do that instead of asking here :)
[19:30] <_jorde> ok
[19:30] <thehumanerror> no, I just installed, and it worked fine, then I used Additional Drivers to install the nvidia package
[19:30] <thehumanerror> and it worked fine
[19:30] <_jorde> use the command I just said
[19:30] <aerofly5> does anyone know where I can download sqlite with headers?
[19:30] <OttifantSir> Is there a way to change where notifications pop up? I run 10.10 with AWN-trunk and Notification Daemon applet.
[19:31] <_jorde> and type in the number that's in front of the sun one
[19:31] <thehumanerror> although I do get flashes of colour sometimes, which is quite worrying
[19:31] <_jorde> so
[19:31] <_jorde> sudo update-alternatives --config java
[19:31] <_jorde> and in my case it's selection 2
[19:31] <_jorde> so I then type in 2
[19:31] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: well jorde the problem is the sun one is not showing there
[19:31] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: Ah, okay. Just that I'm having problems even installing with my new computer.
[19:31] <thehumanerror> might be my card or the power requirements, I think my PSU might not have the maximum required current the card manf says it needs
[19:31] <_jorde> so it's not installed in the right place
[19:31] <thehumanerror> describe your problems
[19:31] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: where do i put it so that ubuntu can see it?
[19:31] <yitz_> How do I disable apparmor? I think it's preventing mysqld from binding it's listen port
[19:32] <_jorde> /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin
[19:32] <Photocopy> okay
[19:32] <Photocopy> this is pretty simple
[19:32] <A_J> i had installed linux (ubuntu), and it was working fine.. then suddenl a failed install of opera.deb, caused the system to get all unstable.. Anyway, now whenever it boots.. after a bit of usage the screen freezes and mouse and kobo become unresponsive.. also a recent problem i'm getting is when i boot i don't get the bios, kinda odd.. although it comes back up after a few minutes of power
[19:32] <A_J> down.. very odd.. any clue what i broke, or what needs fixing
[19:32] <_jorde> but youc an just use
[19:32] <_jorde> apt-get install sun-java6-jdk sun-java6-jre
[19:32] <Photocopy> I made this image to ask this question; is there any way I can possibly ever achieve this; http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/5926/chromes.png
[19:32] <_jorde> and then update it with the files you downloaded
[19:33] <aerofly5> does anyone know where I can download sqlite with headers?
[19:34] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: When I try to install from boot CD, I get the purple loading page fine, no problems. Then, when it should show the CD's menu, I instead get some jumbled up image of whatever I last was doing before reboot (such as desktop mixed in with media player). It also becomes unresponsive, as in I tried pressing enter to see if anything happens, and it doesn't.
[19:34] <YankDownUnder> aerofly5, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=302790
[19:34] <ftn> Hey there. Do you know of any front-end for festival?, please.
[19:34] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: I'm checked the md5sum of the ISO, which was fine, I'm now checking the CD to see if that is the problem.
[19:34] <thehumanerror> hm, well this mount sound silly, but you could check you... yeah
[19:35] <thehumanerror> you know how to mount the CD and do md5sum -c md5sums.txt
[19:35] <thehumanerror> it's slow :(
[19:35] <rtdos> thanks pici
[19:36] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: Yeah, it just finished checking - checksum matches. So I'm not sure what the problem could be.
[19:36] <thehumanerror> crickj: Have a look at /usr/share/tasksel/ubuntu-tasks.desc
[19:37] <yitz_> mysqld refuses to start up. It tells me "Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Cannot assign requested address". No, there's nothing else listening on the port. I checked with netstat and tried with various random ports
[19:37] <Photocopy> okay
[19:37] <Photocopy> fine
[19:37] <Photocopy> here's a seperate but also annoying issue
[19:37] <aerofly5> YankDownUnder: I tried the 'apt-get install sqlite' but it says that I already have the latest version. But the configure script for the source I'm trying to build says that it can't find a compatible installation
[19:37] <Photocopy> when i resize windows this semi-transparent box appears to display what the size will look like when i let go of the mouse
[19:37] <thehumanerror> crickj: So it installs apache2 and mysql-server
[19:37] <A_J> did any1 see my question
[19:37] <YankDownUnder> aerofly5, Have you tried reading the documentation from the installation? (/usr/share/doc/)
[19:37] <Photocopy> when i let go, a white border ends up "stuck" to my wallpaper and doesnt go away unless i cover it up with something
[19:37] <thehumanerror> ConvolutedMusing: So, have you used this hardware with Linux before?
[19:37] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: i tried both, apt-get command doesnt work as there's not any sun-java6-jdk package in the repos
[19:37] <Photocopy> by moving around the window a bit
[19:38] <thehumanerror> ConvolutedMusic: got any loose connections? What happens if you boot, say a Windows install CD or something else bootable you have lying around
[19:38] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: extracting folders to the bin didnt work as well but i am trying
[19:38] <nabukadnezar43> :)
[19:38] <OttifantSir> Is there a way to change where notifications pop up? I run 10.10 with AWN-trunk and Notification Daemon applet.
[19:38] <thehumanerror> ConvolutedMusic: you might have to use the alternate explorer
[19:38] <_jorde> ok
[19:38] <aerofly5> YankDownUnder: It comes with documentation? I'll have a look and get back to you
[19:38] <_jorde> can you move your jdk.bin file to the /usr/lib/jvm/
[19:39] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: Well, I have ubuntu 10.04 installed at the moment (I'm on the hardware now), but it's on an addition - internal - HDD and was installed on my previous computer.
[19:39] <_jorde> and then ./jdk.bin
[19:39] <_jorde> it
[19:39] <cristian> /list
[19:39] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: Shouldn't be any loose connections, also have no Windows boot disc.

[19:39] <jesusvaldez> hello i am running the "try it" ubuntu from a usb but i want to install now and it just lags for about a hr at a time help please thanks
[19:40] <Photocopy> okay
[19:40] <crickj> thehumanerror: have just looked at the list of packages using tasksel --task-packages.  no mention of vlc or pulseaudio
[19:40] <Photocopy> whatever
[19:40] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: I have, however, tried two different ISOs - I originally was going to stay 10.04 - and both do the exact same thing.
[19:40] <Photocopy> i'll figure it out myself. bye guys.
[19:40] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: i did that
[19:40] <ubun> does anyone know of a easy program to make your own website? (not one online)
[19:40] <_jorde> ok
[19:40] <_jorde> rename the directory to java-6-sun-<IP_ADDRESS>
[19:41] <thehumanerror> crickj: You'll have to follow the link
[19:41] <sveinse> I have this in my Makefile: What could be wrong?
[19:41] <sveinse> REVISION   := $(shell svnversion $(SOURCE_ROOT) | sed -e 's#:#_#' )
[19:41] <A_J> thehumanerror see my question please
[19:41] <sveinse> Makefile:30: *** unterminated call to function `shell': missing `)'.  Stop.
[19:41] <thehumanerror> although I can't imagine installing apache2 would  require VLC
[19:41] <thehumanerror> or mysql-server
[19:41] <thehumanerror> but check anyway
[19:41] <thehumanerror> A_J: let me just see, am talking to two others right now
[19:41] <A_J> kk
[19:42] <thehumanerror> ubun: There used to be this thing called Nvu that is for beginners
[19:42] <thehumanerror> ubun: And there's something called Bluefish or something, btu that might be more advanced
[19:42] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: i did that
[19:42] <aerofly5> YankDownUnder: no help... The configure script specifies that headers are required with your installation
[19:42] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: but still it doesnt show up in the alternatives
[19:42] <ConvolutedMusing> ubun: What sort of website?
[19:42] <ubun> thehumanerror: let me find it...
[19:43] <crickj> thehumanerror: it's not only vlc that's been unintalled - pulseaudio, mixx - and now I can't launch new applications in gnome, so I've no idea what important gnome service it's just stopped
[19:43] <ubun> convolutedMusing: for my store..
[19:43] <thehumanerror> ConvolutedMusing: Sorry chap, can't think of anything. You help ubun, I'll scroll up to A_J
[19:43] <yitz_> I'm tempted to just do a fullblown reinstall :S
[19:43] <A_J> ty
[19:43] <thehumanerror> crickj: Damn, sounds bad
[19:43] <Photocopy> k
[19:43] <Photocopy> fine
[19:44] <Photocopy> a third question; why does chrome clear my clipboard when i close it?
[19:44] <ConvolutedMusing> ubun: Do you have any web development experience? Also, are you wanting like an online shop element as well?
[19:44] <crickj> yes - I have checked - apache2 does _not_ depend on vlc media player!
[19:44] <thehumanerror> A_J: Basically I think your computer is broken
[19:44] <OttifantSir> ubun: I tried a few web-authoring programs a while back, and Bluefish was the best in my opinion
[19:44] <_jorde> mmm
[19:44] <thehumanerror> A_J: It's unlikely opera could cause your BIOS to not boot
[19:44] <A_J> what do u think is wrong ?
[19:44] <thehumanerror> I would try booting up with your installation CD as a Live CD and see if you can get on okay with that
[19:45] <OttifantSir> Is there a way to change where notifications pop up? I run 10.10 with AWN-trunk and Notification Daemon applet
[19:45] <Photocopy> why does chrome clear my clipboard when i close it?
[19:45] <blag> what is the default location where xulrunner install apps like standalone chatzilla?
[19:45] <thehumanerror> A_J: Well if it's an old computer, I would say maybe that it's a dry joint, heat stress, or dust, or all of the above
[19:45] <ubun> convolutedmusing: no experience, but am looking for a good beginer program then work up to something more advanced. im searching for bluefish and nvu
[19:45] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: The only thing I can think of for my problem is that it has something to do with the graphics card - first time I've had a dedicated graphics card as I'm not a gamer really.
[19:45] <thehumanerror> Photocopy: The question is, why is the clipboard so crap in Ubuntu
[19:45] <ConvolutedMusing> thehumanerror: Thanks for helping though :)
[19:45] <A_J> it's a kinda old mobo, but barely used
[19:46] <Photocopy> thehumanerror; are you suggesting I ask that? I'm looking for answers, not more questions.
[19:46] <thehumanerror> ConvolutedMusic: Well, me too really, I've just recently installed a graphics card too
[19:46] <xangua> Photocopy: install a clipboard manager, parcellite is one
[19:46] <thehumanerror> Photocopy: No :)
[19:46] <peteypan> can i run windows media player on ubuntu?
[19:46] <thehumanerror> xangua: That's a stupid thing to have to do
[19:46] <ConvolutedMusing> ubun: Honestly, I would suggest you take a look at http://w3schools.com to get the basics down. If you use `sudo apt-get install bluefish` that will install bluefish from which you can try out the stuff it shows you on there.
[19:47] <ConvolutedMusing> ubun: Without the backticks, obviously :)
[19:47] <pylix> peteypan: why would you want to?
[19:47] <clubpenguinfan> peteypan: no it only supports windows (me thinks)
[19:47] <aerofly5> could someone help me? I have sqlite, but the configure script for the Goggles Music Manager source says: " Unable to find a compatible sqlite installation. Please make sure the correct version is installed including the header files.". WTF?!?! Please help
[19:47] <thehumanerror> Photocopy: I would test it out with a different browser, to make sure it works, then file a bug with Chrome, or reinstall or update Chrome, or try Chrome and Ubuntu on a fresh machine or VirtualMachine just to make sure it's not something weird in your comptuer
[19:47] <ubun> convolutedMusing: ill look at that now
[19:47] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, i'm not sure anymore can you try adding the repository for java and installing it through apt-get?
[19:48] <clubpenguinfan> quick question: i know its a rubbish question, but can i run club penguin on ubuntu?
[19:48] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: it is in the partners repos
[19:48] <thehumanerror> A_J: Well try some of that, and see how you get on
[19:48] <Photocopy> thehumanerror; this has been a long term problem for me. it didn't work back when i had mint and in previous installations of ubuntu, i'm only just adressing it now. it has never worked properly on any linux distro on any computer i have ever had.
[19:48] <_jorde> you don't want to use those?
[19:48] <nabukadnezar43> i will try to figure it out, thanks for your help anyways
[19:48] <_jorde> np, good luck
[19:48] <aerofly5> clubpenguinfan: If its a browser game, than yes, most definitely
[19:48] <Marchitos> how can i start unity2d in ubuntu natty alpha 2?
[19:48] <_jorde> I installed it through the repository so I didn't have any issues
[19:48] <madprof> I know that this is the wrong channel to ask but I have seen an os called 'BSD' just wondering whether this was any different to ubuntu?
[19:49] <clubpenguinfan> thx
[19:49] <A_J> kk thehumanerror checking for bad capacitiors
[19:49] <thehumanerror> madprof, are you trolling ;)
[19:49] <thehumanerror> A_J: Yeah, that could be it
[19:49] <aerofly5> could someone help me? I have sqlite, but the configure script for the Goggles Music Manager source says: " Unable to find a compatible sqlite installation. Please make sure the correct version is installed including the header files.". WTF?!?! Please help
[19:50] <gabeodess> Hi, can anyone help me setting my crontab permissions?  When I do "crontab -e" and then try to ":w" I get ""crontab.jaVjrX/crontab" E212: Can't open file for writing".  I can't figure how to fix the permissions...
[19:50] <Photocopy> okay
[19:50] <Photocopy> here's another issue
[19:50] <gabeodess> oh, I'm using vim btw
[19:50] <_jorde> nabukadnezar43, if you can get it installed through the repo I can help you update it from .22 to .23
[19:51] <aerofly5> could someone help me? I have sqlite, but the configure script for the Goggles Music Manager source says: " Unable to find a compatible sqlite installation. Please make sure the correct version is installed including the header files.". WTF?!?! Please help
[19:51] <Photocopy> when i resize a window, a white square follows my cursor to indicate what the new size will be. when i let go, a 1px wide remnant of white encloses the window, until something passes over it, such as moving the window or doing a drag on the desktop. is there any way I can fix this?
[19:51] <jrib> gabeodess: well investigate why vim can't write to that file in /tmp/
[19:52] <madprof> humanerror: you expect me to answer that?
[19:52] <aerofly5> could someone help me? I have sqlite, but the configure script for the Goggles Music Manager source says: " Unable to find a compatible sqlite installation. Please make sure the correct version is installed including the header files.". WTF?!?! Please help
[19:52] <nabukadnezar43> _jorde: so i will just copy the contents to sun-java6-jdk.16.0.22?

[19:55] <aerofly5> convoltedmusing: I'm not sure how to do that from a repository

[19:56] <thehumanerror> the way is using the alternate CD and running "cdromupgrade" off the CD
[19:56] <thehumanerror> you can upgrade to the same version, I *think*
[19:56] <thehumanerror> well that's the idea, but I couldn't get it to work

[19:59] <jrib> gabeodess: 1) what command did you execute exactly to edit your crontab? 2) as what user? 3) what ubuntu is this? 4) what was the output you got from ls -l /tmp/crontab.whatever?
[19:59] <jrib> chaos2358: why are you doing this?

[20:01] <Firartix> Hello!

[20:01] <spow> Hi, I'm trying to follow a step by step example to format a SD card but I think I failed, how can I erase everything I did to start all over again ?
[20:02] <jrib> gabeodess: that file should be owned by appone.  Are you sure you aren't in a root prompt?  Maybe with sudo somethingorother?
[20:02] <Firartix> What is the WiFi connection manager launching command? Will it work with other window managers? Can i add said command to .xinitrc to have it launched auto on session opening?
[20:02] <Sorinan> I just installed ubuntu, but I'm getting this error: modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.35-22-server/modules.dep
[20:02] <chaos2358> jrib i've used it before frequentlly but like i said i have a migrain so bad to day im wearing sunglasses at the computer. for anything more then adding icons i'd wait till i was functioning properly
[20:02] <Sorinan> any idea on why? I already tried running depmod and regenerating initrd
[20:02] <marky_> firartix wicd start
[20:03] <Firartix> okay thanks lot ! :D
[20:03] <gabeodess> jrib: pretty sure... appone@App1:~$ crontab -e      that's what I'm using.
[20:03] <Firartix> marky_: if I add that to the .xinitrc, it'll be launched auto, 'right ? would it get launched twice on the regular ubuntu window manager thingy :| ?
[20:03] <Sterist> i've been told for eons that  file fragmentation doesnt happen with ubuntu. but does free space fragmentation occur?
[20:04] <marky_> firartix i'm thinking of something else, excuse me, my mistake
[20:04] <jrib> gabeodess: does it happen with a different editor?
[20:04] <Firartix> oh, kk.
[20:04] <Firartix> ty anyway ^_^
[20:04] <marky_> firartix forgot i wasn't in backtrack..

[20:06] <gabeodess> jrib:http://pastie.org/1526053
[20:07] <aerofly5> convoltedmusing: just ran Synaptic Package Manager from bash and found that sqlite is way outdated... but apt-get won't update it because it says it has the latest version
[20:07] <jrib> gabeodess: use nano; or do you know emacs is installed?
[20:07] <marky_> found it
[20:08] <jrib> gabeodess: after you do that (I think issue will persist with nano), can you paste: ls -l $(which crontab)
[20:08] <hernan> hello
[20:08] <hernan> hola

[20:09] <marky_> Goodbye helpers :) keep up the good work, us noobs need you :)
[20:09] <jrib> gabeodess: are you saying the issue persisted with nano?  Can you paste: ls -l $(which crontab)
[20:10] <gabeodess> jrib: yeah, that was with nano
[20:10] <jrib> gabeodess: k (note I'm asking for a different ls -l)
[20:10] <gabeodess> jrib: -rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 29912 Aug  4  2006 /usr/bin/crontab
[20:11] <jrib> gabeodess: right, so those aren't right.  Do you know why that might be?
[20:11] <gabeodess> jrib: no idea, I was just dropped on this project.
[20:11] <Da|Mummy> how do i mount iso files in ubuntu, like i do with deamon tools in windows?
[20:11] <gabeodess> jrib: what should I change it to?
[20:12] <jrib> gabeodess: well you should find out why those permissions are wrong as it could mean someone did something dumb and there are more permission issues on the box.  Anyway, remove setuid and add setgid (-rwxr-sr-x is what my crontab has)
[20:12] <erUSUL> !iso | Da|Mummy
[20:12] <blackxored> Da|Mummy, right click open with archive mounter, or mount -t iso9660 -o loop <iso> <mountpoint>
[20:13] <gabeodess> jrib: :( I don't know what that means or how to do that...
[20:14] <BluesKaj> Da|Mummy,or : mount -t iso9660 myimage.iso /mnt/cdrom -o loop
[20:15] <Da|Mummy> whats a good archive manager to use with a nice gui, apparently the ubunutu archive manager doesnt support those rar files that come in .001, .002, etc format
[20:15] <erUSUL> !rar | Da|Mummy

[20:17] <magnus_> hi. how can i manage which services should autostart with my ubuntu system? preferably a gui tool
[20:17]  * Da|Mummy loads winrar over wine
[20:17] <gabeodess> jrib: worked like a charm.  Thank you so much for your help :)
[20:18] <jrib> gabeodess: no problem, but that's most likely caused by user-error, so you should be careful about what else has been broken
[20:18] <gabeodess> jrib: will do.  Thanks for the advice.
[20:19] <pylix> how do you install xfce if you just have ubuntu10.10 with like the default gnome?

[20:24] <makulkar> hi any one knows in 10.04 ubuntu, how to enable editable address bar in explorer?
[20:25] <shockedbyvampire> I'm trying to write upstart script for custom application and when I do "service xxx start"  it just stops without any msg
[20:26] <Othi`> hey - so i recently upgraded from lucid to maverick and when i login via ssh i still get "a new release is available, do-release-upgrade blah blah"...
[20:26] <KB1JWQ> trond-: I suggest you don't break it.
[20:27] <jaxop> hello, I have a question about domain propagation... can somebody point me to a proper channel or assist me... is a simple question
[20:27] <trond-> KB1JWQ, thanks :) except that... is there a rollback function when upgrading?
[20:27] <g_0_0> tobiasz, type - netstat | less - in the terminal
[20:27] <KB1JWQ> trond-: Nope.
[20:27] <KB1JWQ> Other than "restore from backups."
[20:27] <fdsaseemslegit> !ask | jaxop
[20:27] <jaxop> ok
[20:28] <fdsaseemslegit> :)
[20:28] <rsd> A package messed all permissions.  If I reinstall every package will it rebuild the right permission?
[20:29] <trond-> KB1JWQ, so better to do a clean install?
[20:29] <th_> hello all
[20:29] <magnus_> g_0_0, doesn't seem to list services, only apps that run on login ? i need to control weather or not mysql starts etc
[20:30] <th_> i just installed openssh server and its working fine. but can i stop it starting at the bootup? so i could launch it only when needed
[20:30] <Bop> anyone here uses fail2ban ?
[20:30] <gedas> Hello. Is here any programmers???
[20:30] <Codemonkey1991> I'm a programmer :)
[20:30] <Bop> im having trouble removing one ip from 1 jail
[20:30] <g_0_0> magnus - you can edit rc.local in that case to stop or start services on startup
[20:30] <jA_cOp> In the 10.10 netbook edition I can't get the splash screen to appear when booting. The "quiet" option works as expected, but there's never a splash screen, with or without the "splash" option. How can I get the splash screen in the netbook edition?
[20:30] <jaxop> I recently setup a site at a new host with co.cc domain. I set it up this morning by registering the new domain at co.cc and it works already, two hours later, but it stops working for a while and then it starts working again... so it is basically inaccessible for period of time. Do I have to wait for it to propagate 48 hours, before it is reliable?
[20:31] <gedas> Comedymonkey1991: Hello. I want to ask how to make user interface on ubuntu
[20:31] <Codemonkey1991> Codemonkey1991 :3
[20:31] <Jibadeeha> you can edit /etc/init/mysql.conf
[20:31] <Codemonkey1991> gedas: I'm a web developer, sorry. I delve in PHP and Javascript :)
[20:31] <gedas> Comedymonkey1991: Okey, no problem :_)
[20:31] <gedas> Comedymonkey1991: Okey, no problem :)
[20:32] <trond-> gedas, you can use mono-develop and then you can code in c#... (and .net)
[20:32] <gedas> Is here any c++ programmers???
[20:33] <Jibadeeha> g_0_0, are you wanting to stop mysql from starting at boot time so you have control of when it starts up?
[20:33] <trond-> gedas, this is the one you use for developing GUI in Linux/Ubuntu: http://glade.gnome.org/

[20:33] <g_0_0> Jibadeeha, I think it's magnus who wants to start and stop services on startup
[20:33] <gedas> trond-: thx
[20:33] <Jibadeeha> ah sorry g_0_0
[20:34] <th_> i just installed openssh server and its working fine. but can i stop it starting at the bootup? so i could launch it only when needed
[20:34] <Pars> can you recommend a php editor? how is gPHPEdit? thanks..

[20:38] <adok> thx :)
[20:38] <Pars> ok minimec.. thks.
[20:38] <fdsaseemslegit> adok:  You are welcome.  You might want to look into downloading some scripts to enhance your IRC sessions.
[20:39] <fdsaseemslegit> Let me see if I can find a good link for you,  adok.
[20:39] <adok> thx..i'm just a n00b ...:))
[20:40] <shockedbyvampire> i'd rather change my nick to shockedbyupstart

[20:53] <OttifantSir> After a visit to WebUpd8 looking for a way to change notify-osd, I found that AWN doesn't really use it, instead the position of the notification bubbles are controlled by notification-daemon-applet and can be changed in Gconf. Now, is x,y of upper-left of screen 0,0? And lower-left (for me) 1440,900?
[20:54] <azidhaka> galamar: i think you should start with MOTU's wiki here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted and also hang in #ubuntu-motu
[20:54] <Pici> galamar: Also #ubuntu-packaging
[20:55] <galamar> thank you!!
[20:58] <OttifantSir> After a visit to WebUpd8 looking for a way to change notify-osd, I found that AWN doesn't really use it, instead the position of the notification bubbles are controlled by notification-daemon-applet and can be changed in Gconf. Now, is x,y of upper-left of screen 0,0? And lower-left (for me) 1440,900?
[20:58] <ubuntu_> ;o\
[20:59] <azidhaka> OttifantSir: well, you have a very well structured question. why don't you try both settings and see in which corner the notification appears? :)
[20:59] <azidhaka> it's usually the top left corner
[21:02] <OttifantSir> azidhaka: ATM the values for x,y are -1, meaning the notifications show up relative to the position of the applet on the AWN-bar. I thought about setting an arbitrary value to see, but it seemed like a decent next step to ask. I'll try your suggestion and come back and tell what I found out.
[21:03] <OttifantSir> azidhaka: Actually, I asked the wrong question. Which is x, and which is y? Is height or width x?
[21:04] <guntbert> OttifantSir: x is alway horizontal
[21:04] <guntbert> *always
[21:04] <azidhaka> well in math x is horzontal
[21:04] <DPx> can anyone recommend a good usenet/nzb client?
[21:04] <azidhaka> y|__x :)
[21:05] <OttifantSir> guntbert, DPx: Thank you. Now to fiddle with numbers....
[21:05] <azertyu> hello there
[21:05] <azertyu> someone enter on my ubuntu server
[21:05] <azertyu> vps server, can't able to ssh what to do ?
[21:05] <minimec> azertyu: shall we hack you ;)
[21:05] <LYoung> holy crap am I glad to be here...
[21:06] <guntbert> DPx: try pan
[21:06] <LYoung> I can't get build-essential installed properly
[21:06] <azidhaka> azertyu: someone broke in your server/
[21:06] <randy__> I'm trying to make an image of the OSX Snow Leopard install disk in Ubuntu but all Ubuntu can see is the Windows support files etc, how can I access the actual install files on this disk?
[21:06] <DPx> Thanks guntbert :)
[21:06] <azertyu> yes correct
[21:06] <azertyu> someone decode my password
[21:06] <LYoung> sudo apt-get install build-essential works, but it says it can't fetch certain items...
[21:07] <Pici> azertyu: Would a french support channel be more helpful for you?
[21:07] <azertyu> and take my root password
[21:07] <azidhaka> azertyu: well, the best course of action for me is to re-image the vps
[21:07] <guntbert> LYoung: can you !pastebin the error message?
[21:07] <azertyu> hi Pici  am i speak french ?
[21:08] <randy__> !pastebin
[21:08] <Pici> azertyu: No, you aren't.  And neither do I.  I just wanted  to let you know that #ubuntu-fr exists.
[21:08] <azertyu> absulatly not i can 't re-image my vps  i got lots of data
[21:08] <k89> hi... can anyone suggest a text editor as good as notepad++ but not as complex as emacs
[21:08] <azertyu> no i prefer here seriously don't force me plz
[21:08] <Bionova> Hello all
[21:09] <azidhaka> azertyu: no worries. data is valuable of course
[21:09] <pooky> k89 gnome-text-edit?
[21:09] <k89> hehe.. pooky , have you used notepad++
[21:09] <azertyu> why i got this : ssh: connect to host 88.X.X.X.X port 22: Connection refused
[21:09] <azidhaka> azertyu: does your hosting support password reset on the vps?
[21:09] <kelvinella> hi, does format and reinstall fix bad sector?
[21:10] <pooky> k89: no, I use vim :/
[21:10] <azertyu> good question but i don't know
[21:10] <Bionova> I just installed and updated latest backtrack, i have a problem here im trying to solve the maximun resolution right now is 1024x768 when my native resolution is 1680x1050 How to fix this?
[21:10] <pooky> k89: actually I did in the late 90's, but that was so long ago
[21:10] <azidhaka> azertyu: can you please check your control panel provided by the hosting company?
[21:11] <k89> i want something with equally good color scheme , tried geany, almost does it , but some stuff like javascript doesn't look too good
[21:11] <pooky> k89: but maybe if you said the features you need, a reasonable suggestion could be made. There are other options like netbeans and such.
[21:11] <LYoung> Bionova, I have a similar issue too... my res is locked to 640x480... but I'm using 100% pure command line
[21:11] <LYoung> <<< ubernoob too
[21:11] <pooky> k89: so it's not the editor that's bad, it's the syntax hilighting?
[21:11] <Bionova> Damn =)
[21:11] <jamescarr> how can I found out what process is running on port 8080?
[21:12] <k89> pooky ?  isn't syntax highlighting editors job
[21:12] <guntbert> !backtrack | Bionova
[21:12] <k89> i don't like ides, too heavy
[21:12] <azidhaka> k89: how about scintilla? http://www.scintilla.org/SciTEImage.html
[21:12] <Bionova> Thanks for help! Im not too familiar with mIRC either though.
[21:12] <LYoung> Right now I'm trying to figure out why my system is telling me "Failed to fetch cdrom"
[21:12] <k89> will try ... thnx
[21:12] <guntbert> jamescarr: lsof -i | grep 8080
[21:13] <pooky> k89: I suppose what I'm suggesting is to see if there's an updated syntax file or something. Give me a minute I'll google it up for you.
[21:13] <k89> k
[21:13] <k89> pooky : thnx
[21:13] <azidhaka> k89: scintilla is the editing component, scite is the editor
[21:14] <LYoung> guys can anyone help me here?
[21:14] <azidhaka> jamescarr: or 'netstat -nap | grep 8080"
[21:14] <k89> LYoung : ask
[21:15] <guntbert> LYoung: we did not see the error message, did you sen it to a pastebin?
[21:15] <guntbert> *send
[21:15] <LYoung> guntbert I can't copy paste :(
[21:15] <guntbert> !info pastebinit | LYoung
[21:15] <azidhaka> LYoung: maybe the CD-ROM source is present in /etc/apt/sources.list and uncommented?
[21:15] <azertyu> no i don't have such as option azidhaka
[21:16] <pooky> k89: seems a lot of people recommend using scite instead. I might add that you could run notepad++ under wine if it is truly the only thing you're comfortable with at this time.
[21:16] <azertyu> but  i can reboot on rescue mode, can i do something ?
[21:16] <newbieOne> help!
[21:16] <azidhaka> azertyu: not sure what this rescue mode does
[21:16] <azertyu> recovery mode
[21:17] <azidhaka> azertyu: if you can reboot back to normal mode without doing anything, i suggest you try it
[21:17] <jdimatteo> I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 (as shown by /etc/issue), but the Gnome System -> About Ubuntu menu opens a window that says "You are using Ubuntu 11.04 - the Natty Narwhal - released in April 2011
[21:17] <jdimatteo> ^ what gives?
[21:17] <LYoung> long story short, I can't get build-essential installed,
[21:17] <k89> pooky : was checking out scite .. looks good, gonna try it
[21:17] <k89> thnx
[21:17] <azertyu> yes i can
[21:17] <LYoung> azidhaka : it's in there, but no commented
[21:17] <guntbert> jdimatteo: thats a known bug
[21:18] <pooky> k89: there's always cream :P
[21:18] <azidhaka> LYoung: comment the lines and do a aptitude update
[21:18] <azertyu> but i don't know how to change root password, once i boot from recovery mode  azidhaka
[21:18] <jdimatteo> gunbert: it is sort of hilarious that nobody has fixed this
[21:18] <pooky> k89: that oddly useful for some people cousin of vim
[21:18] <jdimatteo> gunbert: oh well, thanks for confirming it is a known bug
[21:18] <LYoung> azidhaka: did you see me mention I'm an ubernoob?
[21:18] <azidhaka> azertyu: i am sure that there will be some help in the recovery console, just make sure you do not re-image or delete anything from the recovery console
[21:18] <guntbert> jdimatteo: if I remember correctly it is fixed but not released
[21:19] <azidhaka> LYoung: not really :)
[21:19] <newbieOne> I had ubuntu 10.04...for some unexplained reason, when I tried to open it today, it didnt...I made a bootable flash with ubuntu 10.10....I started it ( I m talking through it now)...but I cant view the files on the hard drive
[21:19] <newbieOne> help
[21:19] <guntbert> LYoung: why do need them anyway?
[21:19] <paq7512> what is a recommended program to record your screen?
[21:19] <BlaDe^> can I list the directories in a tar without extracting it?
[21:20] <maco> newbieOne: by "i cant view the files on the hard drive" you mean the disk wont mount?
[21:20] <azidhaka> LYoung: click on System -> Administration -> Software sources
[21:20] <newbieOne> yes
[21:20] <azertyu> ok
[21:20] <itaylor57> BlaDe^: tar -tvf filename
[21:20] <LYoung> gunbert, I wanna play around with an irc daemon a friend made, but he only wrote it for unix... I can't ./Config because I have no C compiler installed
[21:20] <maco> newbieOne: dead drive
[21:20] <spow> Hi, is there a way to manually fix the DVD drive rotating speed ?
[21:20] <newbieOne> it says DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending
[21:20] <jsec> paq7512, recordmydesktop
[21:20] <LYoung> dunno why it doesn't come installed by default
[21:21] <ubun_> when i run lshw -C network
[21:21] <LYoung> also wouldn't be having half as much hassles if I had a gui to work with...
[21:21] <ubun_> it says wireless unclaimed
[21:21] <guntbert> !tab | LYoung :-)
[21:21] <azidhaka> LYoung: i will guide you
[21:21] <LYoung> thanks :)
[21:21] <newbieOne> maco man? dead drive, for sure?
[21:21] <spow> because it's rotating at full speed during movies and it generates a lot of noise
[21:22] <azidhaka> LYoung: do you know how to use a console editor? like vi, nano, pico, etc...
[21:22] <LYoung> not at the moment, but I learn pretty quick
[21:22] <maco> newbieOne: hmm ok given the dbus thing then not so sure. try mounting it manually, nto double clicking
[21:22] <maco> newbieOne: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt      or something similar
[21:22] <newbieOne> same result
[21:22] <ubun_> my wireless adapter says its unclaimed... what do i do?
[21:22] <newbieOne> a, ok, let me try it
[21:23] <maco> newbieOne: you can try install smartmontools to get smartctl and run a diagnostic
[21:23] <azidhaka> LYoung: in the terminal type: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[21:23] <azidhaka> LYoung: type your password and the editor will open the file

Now, the bubbles show up in the upper right portion of my screen. Not QUITE where I want them, all the way to the right, but better than it was, aka lower-left.
[21:25] <k89> SoftarPaul : Paste here what you see

[21:28] <minimec> lee__: Well the flash-plugin is 'sucking' --> pulseaudio still plays the flash-plugin sound, even if firefox is shiut down.
[21:28] <istok> HakanBondesson, you have to do: sudo passwd root
[21:28] <istok> enter sudo pass, then new root pass
[21:28] <azidhaka> HakanBondesson: probably there is no root password. try user: ubuntu, password: ubuntu
[21:28] <k89> SoftarPaul : type cd /var , then ls -al | grep www  and press enter, if you did an apt get install of apache, thats where your document root is
[21:29] <VCoolio> tomatto_: tomboy?
[21:29] <newbieOne> how can I see the files on a computer, when booting it from a flash?
[21:29] <LYoung> is manually mounting things like thumb drives a regular necessity?
[21:29] <HakanBondesson> ok, I will try that
[21:29] <azidhaka> LYoung: not for a long time
[21:29] <tomatto_> VCoolio: i will check it
[21:29] <k89> SoftarPaul : "ls -al | grep www" will show you the file permissions of www
[21:29] <vurst> tomatto_: xpostit
[21:30] <SoftarPaul> k89: I didn't get any answer
[21:30] <SoftarPaul> result
[21:30] <newbieOne> ?
[21:30] <rtdos> is there a pdf printer available for ubuntu?
[21:30] <dug1> if I do rmmod on the ethernet adaptor and the do a modprobe with the adaptor go down or does this only effect the startup
[21:30] <k89> SoftarPaul : you did an apt-get install of apache, right?
[21:30] <newbieOne> thanks dudes
[21:30] <SoftarPaul> yes
[21:30] <lestat> rtdos: just print to a file
[21:30] <LYoung> For convenience, I'm running ubuntu on Oracle VM VirtualBox... not the best idea I'm told, but it works
[21:30] <lestat> should do it
[21:31] <k89> open a new terminal window, in it, type "cd /var"
[21:31] <rtdos> lestat: i want to print a page from using firefox but i want to convert it to pdf.
[21:31] <SoftarPaul> in what?
[21:31] <k89> SoftarPaul : open a new terminal window from accessories, in it, type "cd /var"
[21:31] <llutz> !info cups-pdf | rtdos
[21:32] <SoftarPaul> now I typed cd /var...
[21:32] <k89> press enter
[21:32] <SoftarPaul> yes done
[21:32] <rtdos> thx llutz
[21:32] <azidhaka> rtdos: Open the file in a text editor or word processor. Print. Choose Print to file. Choose .pdf. Enter filename. Print.
[21:32] <HakanBondesson> thanks!
[21:32] <k89> type ls -al | grep www
[21:32] <k89> and press enter

[21:33] <SoftarPaul> and the "www" is red
[21:33] <k89> SoftarPaul : i'll send u a link, read that after doing this ... "sudo chown -R 'your username minus the quotes' www
[21:34] <k89> and press  enter
[21:34] <semitones> how do you find the inode size of a file system? (i need to find out if it's 128 or 256
[21:34] <semitones> )
[21:34] <LYoung> is this supposed to be taking so long?
[21:34] <azidhaka> LYoung: aptitude update?
[21:34] <LYoung> yeah
[21:34] <tensorpudding> if you have a slow connection, it might
[21:34] <azidhaka> LYoung: well, no, if your connection is fast. do you have some progress
[21:35] <k89> SoftarPaul : http://www.corantodemo.net/doc/chmod-doc.shtml
[21:35] <azidhaka> ...bar ?
[21:35] <LYoung> 91%
[21:35] <k89> SoftarPaul : I hope that did it for you
[21:35] <vurst> semitones: tune2fs -l /dev/...
[21:35] <rww> semitones: sudo tune2fs -l /dev/sda1
[21:35] <LYoung> running on 3g... and signal's bad
[21:35] <rww> semitones: there should be an "Inode size:" line.
[21:35] <SoftarPaul> k89: I get chown: operand saknas efter "simon". that's like "operand's missing for "simon"
[21:36] <semitones> ty vurst, rww :)
[21:36] <k89> SoftarPaul : its just  "sudo chown -R simon www
[21:36] <k89> SoftarPaul : its just  "sudo chown -R simon www"
[21:36] <azidhaka> k89:  maybe chown -R simon:users www
[21:36] <dug1> if I do the following module update will my internet connection drop or does this only effect the ethernet adaptor at boot (rmmod e1000 && sudo modprobe e1000 TxDescriptors=128 RxDescriptors=128)
[21:36] <SoftarPaul> k89: That's what I wrote?
[21:36] <rtdos> thx azidhaka / lestat
[21:37] <k89> SoftarPaul : If you are like i was 3 weeks ago, then, don't add any quotes
[21:37] <SoftarPaul> k89: I didn't use quotes.
[21:37] <k89> azidhaka: that users think isn't reqd i think, i never needed it
[21:37] <k89> what are u getting
[21:37] <k89> SoftarPaul
[21:38] <azidhaka> k89: i do it just in case...
[21:38] <SoftarPaul> azidhaka: when I do that, it's trying to change owner of www...
[21:38] <LYoung> oooooh libc6-i686 is broken
[21:38] <k89> SoftarPaul: thats what you need, so that you have read-write -execute permission on www
[21:38] <azm> HI, how do I remove package which is not in repos in synaptic please?
[21:39] <SoftarPaul> but it says "Operation not allowed"...
[21:39] <azm> in kdebi there is just reinstall option
[21:39] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: sudo chown -R simon www
[21:39] <SoftarPaul> azidhaka: No result with that
[21:39] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: this will execute the command as root
[21:40] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: what do you need to do really?
[21:40] <k89> SoftarPaul : what do you get when you type ls -al | grep www
[21:40] <SoftarPaul> azidhaka: I want to write in my www-directory
[21:40] <SoftarPaul> right now, I can't
[21:40] <GeekMan> how do you apt get install adobe flash
[21:40] <k89> sudo chown simon www
[21:41] <seanp2k> does anyone know if bug #259145 ever got fixed?  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mdadm/+bug/259145
[21:41] <k89> try without the _R
[21:41] <YankDownUnder> apt-get install flash-plugin-nonfree
[21:41] <seanp2k> it has to do with a system being able to boot with only one functional drive in a software RAID 1 array using 'md'
[21:41] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: hold on a minute
[21:41] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: have you "cd /var/www' by now?
[21:41] <k89> SoftarPaul : try without the -R
[21:42] <LYoung> azidhaka: got an error with lucid-updates/main libc6-i686 2.11.1-0ubuntu7.8 ... connection failed, is this going to be a problem? it said earlier libc6-i686 was broken
[21:42] <k89> SoftarPaul : sudo chown simon www
[21:42] <SoftarPaul> k89: No result
[21:42] <azidhaka> k89: he is in the directory already. in /var/www there is no another www, so the correct command must be: sudo chown -R simon .
[21:42] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: notice the dot at the end
[21:42] <saymoo> hi
[21:42] <RedXIII> How do I mount /dev/sda4 to a folder?
[21:43] <RedXIII> I have a partition on my drive I want to open, and I'm currently running off livecd
[21:43] <azidhaka> RedXIII: what filesystem is there/
[21:43] <YankDownUnder> mount /dev/sda4 /nameoffolder
[21:43] <SoftarPaul> azidhaka cd /var now
[21:43] <RedXIII> azidhaka: I have no clue
[21:43] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: oh
[21:44] <RedXIII> Its got the diag flag
[21:44] <RedXIII> Is that the diagnostics tool folder?
[21:44] <RedXIII> It shows ntfs
[21:44] <OttifantSir> RedXIII: sudo mount /dev/sda4 -t (filesystem, eg ext2/3/4 or nfs) /path/to/folder
[21:44] <k89> SoftarPaul: can you post again what do you get on "ls -al | grep www"
[21:45] <RedXIII> OttifantSir: thanks
[21:45] <OttifantSir> RedXIII: Directories made running a LiveCD aren't persistent, so I suggest: sudo mkdir /media/sda4 or another, more descriptive name.
[21:45] <SoftarPaul> k89: drwxr-xr-x  2 simon root  4096 2011-01-27 14:39 www
[21:45] <jeffwheeler> I'm a bit confused about what of GNOME 3 natty is adopting. Are we getting the new control center, etc. (e.g. the stuff in the gnome3-team/gnome3 PPA), or are we sticking with the current versions for now?
[21:45] <RedXIII> Its alright. I just got this new laptop so I wanted to know whats on each partition and if its safe to delete
[21:46] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: please run this: sudo chown -R simon:users /var/www
[21:46] <k89> SoftarPaul: you must be able to write in the directory now
[21:46] <azidhaka> SoftarPaul: and show us the output
[21:46] <RedXIII> This partition has a "diag" flag and takes up 30gigs disk space. Is it necessary for the diagnostics tools?
[21:46] <k89> azidhaka : he is the owner already
[21:46] <jeffwheeler> This is the PPA I'm talking about: https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3
[21:46] <jeffwheeler> Is that stuff going to be adopted in natty?
[21:46] <SoftarPaul> azidhaka: sudo: /var/lib/sudo owned by uid 1000, should be uid 0
[21:47] <rww> jeffwheeler: #ubuntu+1 for natty discussion and support. #ubuntu is for already-released versions of Ubuntu.
[21:47] <RedXIII> I haven't gotten a new laptop in around 7 years so I don't know what they like to stick on the disks nowadays
[21:47] <jeffwheeler> rww: going now, thanks
[21:47] <k89> SoftarPaul : You are the owner of that directory, try creating a file in it
[21:47] <Jibadeeha> i was looking at gnome 3 shell the other day and it is looking really good .. think this will give unity a run for it's money ... love competition
[21:47] <azidhaka> LYoung: connection was reset when package was downloading. Run "sudo aptitude install build-essential" again until it finishes successfully
[21:47] <k89> azidhaka : drwxr-xr-x  2 simon root  4096 2011-01-27 14:39 www
[21:48] <k89> it must be because chown doesn't give any notification,
[21:48] <k89> he didn't notice
[21:48] <brunner> Can someone explain what this means? Jan 31 02:16:01 dev01 su[3360]: Successful su for nobody by root
[21:48] <brunner> from auth.log
[21:48] <SoftarPaul> k89: should I create a file in etc/www?

[21:48] <k89> SoftarPaul : Yes

[21:48] <k89> no
[21:49] <azidhaka> brunner: some program is dropping privileges probably
[21:49] <k89> SoftarPaul : your document root is /var/www
[21:49] <k89> SoftarPaul : Try creating a file in it, you are its owner
[21:49] <brunner> azertyu, can you explain?
[21:49] <finken> I will install InDesign CS 4 on this Ubuntu-computer. How you recommend? Virtualbox?
[21:49] <BluesKaj> what's the gdm app responsible for "desktop effects" ?
[21:49] <azertyu> yes
[21:49] <brunner> azertyu, does that mean that nobody became root, or that root became nobody?
[21:49] <LYoung> VirtualBox is working ok here
[21:50] <azidhaka> azertyu: that was probably for me
[21:50] <SoftarPaul> k89: I can write in the index.html! Thanks a lot!
[21:50] <k89> SoftarPaul : can you do it
[21:50] <azidhaka> brunner: root became nobody
[21:50] <SoftarPaul> k89: Yes!
[21:50] <k89> SoftarPaul : your welcome , read this http://www.corantodemo.net/doc/chmod-doc.shtml
[21:50] <rtdos> how do i clean out or reset my printer cache? i have a file that is just sitting there and when i right click on the file and select cancel it won't let me cancel.

[21:50] <BluesKaj> !desktop-effects
[21:50] <SoftarPaul> Now to my next question, hehe. How to show the localhost to others. Like http://myip:80
[21:51] <azidhaka> LYoung: have you succeeded installing the compiler collection?
[21:51] <LYoung> still busy azidhaka

[21:52] <azertyu> np
[21:52] <LYoung> oh lol, thought you meant running ubuntu
[21:53] <littlepenguin> hi what is causing in ubuntu ssdp requests?
[21:54] <Yugnoswam> Hello, how do I change the firmware on my hard drive from 3.AAE to NTFS. Or even just wipe it completely for a fresh install?
[21:54] <azidhaka> littlepenguin: originating from the machine running ubuntu?
[21:54] <GeekMan>  apt-get install flash-plugin-nonfree didnt work
[21:54] <littlepenguin> yes azidhaka
[21:54] <azidhaka> littlepenguin: do you have Skype running?
[21:55] <SoftarPaul> how to make my apache-server public?
[21:55] <littlepenguin> azidhaka: no nothing..i have checked ff it is not the cause..i have not started any applicatrion
[21:55] <KirkMcDonald> SoftarPaul: Are you behind NAT or something?
[21:55] <littlepenguin> i havealso removed libssdp but they still occur
[21:55] <tacotron> hi all.. i have a question about the Bamboo Pen tablet. Im using ubuntu 10.10.. just installed the dkms package so it would work on my system. problem is, the tablet is taking in input without the pen touching the tablet! like.. ill be above the tablet maybe about an inch or so and its processing input.. can i adjust that?
[21:56] <SoftarPaul> KirkMcDonald: What's NAT?
[21:56] <littlepenguin> network adress translation
[21:56] <littlepenguin> no
[21:56] <azidhaka> littlepenguin: ssdp is usually associated with upnp
[21:56] <SoftarPaul> KirkMcDonald: I'm on a router, so I guess so
[21:57] <GeekMan> also how do you update iced tea plugin
[21:57] <littlepenguin> how to check if upnp is causing this? netstat does not show any open thing
[21:57] <KirkMcDonald> SoftarPaul: Set up a port forward.
[21:57] <Yugnoswam> Hello, how do I change the firmware on my hard drive from 3.AAE to NTFS. Or even just wipe it completely for a fresh install?
[21:57] <SoftarPaul> KirkMcDonald: Is that all?
[21:58] <KirkMcDonald> SoftarPaul: Possibly!
[21:58] <SuperPaco69> how can I add a user to an existing group??
[21:58] <Jordan_U> Yugnoswam: The firmware?
[21:58] <lee__> useradd
[21:58] <SoftarPaul> KirkMcDonald: I haven't set any port in apache. Is 80 default-settings or where can I change it?
[21:58] <civixier> Say I want to write a shell script that makes me cd into a directory and then list the files in there directly after. Then the first row in the shell script should contain cd and the second row should contain ls. But what do I write after cd to make it go to the folder i type after the name of the shell script? If the shell scripts name is cdls, and I type cdls /home/bleh, what do I write after cd to make it go to /home/bleh?
[21:58] <Yugnoswam> Jordan_U: Yeah, like NTFS
[21:58] <KirkMcDonald> SoftarPaul: 80 should be the default, yes.
[21:58] <azidhaka> littlepenguin: do you have some kind of media server or streamer running?
[21:59] <Jordan_U> Yugnoswam: The word you want is "filesystem".
[21:59] <geirha> SuperPaco69: If you mean from the terminal,  sudo adduser username groupname
[21:59] <LYoung> azidhaka: what happens if my connection dies before the install is complete?
[21:59] <littlepenguin> no azidhaka ..an apache server is running..also postgresql
[21:59] <Yugnoswam> Jordan_U: ahh ok, it says firmware on the disk utility here. How can I change it from 3.AAE to NTFS?
[21:59] <malloc_> hi, i have an problem with a erased cd-rw. When i try to mount it with "-t iso9660" it says "wrong fs type". How is it possible to mount it so that i can erase/format it again?
[21:59] <geirha> civixier: cd "$@" && ls
[22:00] <littlepenguin> wait maybe avahi daemon
[22:00] <Jordan_U> Yugnoswam: You can use GParted. But if you're going to just do a fresh install then let the installer format the drive.
[22:00] <Jordan_U> Yugnoswam: Screenshot?
[22:00] <civixier> geirha: ah, thanks :)
[22:00] <azidhaka> LYoung: when downloading, nothing. you need to restart the download. when installing also absolutely nothing :)

[22:00] <miguel> hey
[22:00] <lee__> import is nicer, imho
[22:00] <lee__> import foo.png
[22:00] <rednammoc> hi. i modified a file by accident. It was 2 MB and now it's something 2.8 KB. Is there any chance in getting this data back ?
[22:00] <LYoung> ah the problem would be restarting the download... I'm on a limited data cap at the moment
[22:01] <Yugnoswam> Jordan_U: I tried a fresh install (Windows 7) but it just came up that the system has to be on NTFS and it wouldnt let me format it from there. GParted won't let me create a partition either
[22:01] <Guest46224> do I have a simple way to save all my iptables config so as for having it loaded on the next reboots ?
[22:01] <civixier> geirha: ah awesome. I tried to google first, but I didnt get to that page :)
[22:01] <Yugnoswam> Jordan_U: check private
[22:01] <azidhaka> Guest15028: that would be iptables-save and iptables-restore
[22:02] <SoftarPaul> what's the command for ip-check?
[22:02] <littlepenguin> avahi demon is it not..still ssdp requests
[22:02] <rednammoc> shouldn't be the requested data right behind the current file ?
[22:02] <SoftarPaul> want to check my ip. what's the command?
[22:02] <azidhaka> littlepenguin: can you please send me in private query the output of "ps ax"
[22:02] <littlepenguin> aux?
[22:02] <littlepenguin> or ax?
[22:03] <azidhaka> littlepenguin: ax will do it
[22:03] <rednammoc> please :) this file is really important for me
[22:03] <littlepenguin> 1 mom azidhaka
[22:04] <azidhaka> littlepenguin: maybe you should use pastebin, i don't know what the limits for flood are
[22:04] <LYoung> azidhaka: I'm running ubuntu on VirtualBox, do you know if setting up file sharing between ubuntu and my host OS needs to be done in VirtualBox, or in ubuntu?
[22:04] <jhl> Why does the irc user have a login shell other than /bin/false?
[22:04] <Dazzled> Hi, what's the alternative to editing the bash.bashrc to edit the $PATH?
[22:05] <rednammoc> hi guys. is there any way to get the data behind a file ?
[22:05] <Dazzled> now I can only load certain apps from my terminal, other applications can't see them (and it seems to be related to the path)
[22:05] <Mindkontrol> Hello everyone
[22:05] <Mindkontrol> Is anyone familiar with using socat?
[22:06] <azidhaka> LYoung: i would use a simple Samba sharing
[22:06] <SoftarPaul> KirkMcDonald: TCP/UDP?
[22:06] <KirkMcDonald> SoftarPaul: HTTP uses TCP.
[22:06] <magicianlord> is 11.04 ready for installation basically?
[22:06] <Mindkontrol> Is anyone familiar with using socat?
[22:07] <splashote> hi, "/" is full. how do i free space?
[22:07] <zookalicious> magicianlord - its in Alpha 2 as of today
[22:07] <zookalicious> magicianlord - I would not advise installing it unless you want to do testing
[22:07] <magicianlord> should i dl it and put it on a netbook, zookalicious ?
[22:07] <rww> magicianlord: Natty discussion and support is in #ubuntu+1. #ubuntu is for already-released versions of Ubuntu.
[22:07] <magicianlord> oh right
[22:07] <zookalicious> magicianlord - go with 10.10
[22:07] <magicianlord> i am on 10.10. tired of it atm
[22:08] <azidhaka> Dazzled: you can globally set a path in /etc/profile
[22:08] <Mindkontrol> lol
[22:08] <zookalicious> you could dual boot
[22:08] <Crell> Is there a list of which codenames correspond to which release numbers? I have a netbook and I'm trying to figure out what version it's on and how feasible it is to upgrade. :-)
[22:08] <magicianlord> maybe i'll put 10.4.1 on again
[22:08] <magicianlord> jsut for the heck of it
[22:08] <Jibadeeha> magicianlord, what tires u?
[22:08] <Mindkontrol> I need some help running socat tunnel anyone?
[22:08] <Dazzled> azidhaka: thanks, I'll take a look
[22:08] <zookalicious> magicianlord - or try a different desktop environment
[22:08] <LYoung> azidhaka: all done, with 1 error... my connection failed at that point
[22:08] <magicianlord> i have already tried them. maybe i'll try flux linux mint
[22:08] <azidhaka> Dazzled: here is a full description: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/prepostpath.htm
[22:09] <zookalicious> magicianlord -  sounds good
[22:09] <Dazzled> azidhaka: great, I was a bit unsure, but this'll clear it up :)
[22:09] <azidhaka> Dazzled: :)
[22:09] <zookalicious> magicianlord -  I found Mint to be very similar to Ubuntu though
[22:09] <Gwar_Trolle> hey guys, I have a thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10424669 but I'll ask here too. Is it possible to make an ad hoc connection between two wlan cards? In short, I need to do  Nintendo DS [22:09] <magicianlord> zookalicious: i know. ive installed it a few times
[22:10] <zookalicious> magicianlord -  lol alright, well have fun either wy
[22:10] <rww> I found Mint to be very redundant to Ubuntu.
[22:10] <zookalicious> way*
[22:10] <magicianlord> zookalicious: got a fast connection today
[22:10] <magicianlord> maybe i'll do debian net install
[22:11] <LYoung> oh wow... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[22:11] <Mrokii> hello. How can I get espeak to work if I have OSS installed instead of ALSA?
[22:11] <rww> LYoung: install the build-essential package
[22:11] <VCoolio> Crell: lsb_release -a
[22:12] <zookalicious> magicianlord - or Arch if you're looking for something different
[22:12] <LYoung> rww: sudo apt-get install build-essential?
[22:12] <azidhaka> LYoung: looks like  libc did not install
[22:12] <rww> LYoung: yes

[22:12] <bhanu> where should I look for them
[22:12] <zookalicious> rww - alright alright
[22:12] <kermit> on a recent dell laptop, is it possible to use touchpad scrollwheel emulation?
[22:12] <LYoung> azidhaka... it did say that was broken and it said my connection failed when it tried to download
[22:13] <Crell> Ah, I'm on 10.04.  Thanks, VCoolio.
[22:13] <Crell> Now to upgrade to 10.10 without a GUI, since plasma is borked. -)
[22:13] <Crell> What's the 10.10 codename for Apt?
[22:13] <rww> Crell: follow the Ubuntu server section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MaverickUpgrades
[22:14] <Crell> Ahso.
[22:14] <rww> Crell: maverick. I'm guessing here, but if you're planning to change sources.list and dist-upgrade, you should be aware that that isn't a supported upgrade method.
[22:14] <Crell> Hm.
[22:14] <LYoung> azidhaka: is there a way I can install just libc?
[22:14] <Crell> Well, the problem is that I did a safe-upgrade earlier, and plasma-netbook now dies on startup.
[22:14] <Crell> So CLI is all I got, because I happened to have a Konsole window open.
[22:15] <Crell> The server approach might work, though...
[22:15] <GeekMan> Support for PowerPC-based computers will be discontinued in a release following Flash Player 10.1. (this is an out raGE i use linux on my apple g4) sry for the off topic post im just up set)
[22:15] <azidhaka> LYoung: yes, sudo aptitude install  libc-dev
[22:16] <Crell> GeekMan: You say that like they support Flash on any version of Linux.
[22:16] <azidhaka> LYoung: it might be  libc6-dev, i am not sure
[22:16] <GeekMan> but they dont :(
[22:17] <Crell> rww: Hm.  OK, accoridng to do-release-upgrade there are no new releases.
[22:17] <GeekMan> beside the fact carry on
[22:17] <rww> Crell: did you follow all of the instructions in that section?
[22:17] <LYoung> well libc-dev worked
[22:17] <LYoung> and its unpacking libc6-dev
[22:17] <Crell> I'm following the server ones, because I don't have a functional GUI.
[22:17] <rww> Crell: like, say, step 2?
[22:18] <Crell> If I had a System > Administration menu I would.
[22:18] <LYoung> alright, it's working
[22:18] <rww> Crell: ... step 2 of the Ubuntu Server section.
[22:18] <azidhaka> LYoung: well done
[22:18] <rww> Crell: "edit /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades and set Prompt=normal"
[22:18] <LYoung> now, one more issue... how can I make my console bigger? it's locked into 640x480
[22:18] <Crell> ... Bah.  No, because it got lost between the bolder code samples.
[22:19] <Crell> Ah, now it's doing something.  Thanks.
[22:23] <LYoung> azidhaka: you are officially my hero :) I been trying to figure this out for 2 days
[22:23] <16SAA1GDR> hey all, i'm doing a net install based mostly off https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet - however i would like it so that the the installer gets the install image off a the local server, not ubuntu.com
[22:23] <16SAA1GDR> how would I go about this
[22:23] <azidhaka> LYoung: that's compiling 101, the fun has just begun :)
[22:24] <sideone> .
[22:24] <LYoung> azidhaka: I'm a windows guy 100%... though I can see the appeal of using linux, it's a little too much thinking for me lol
[22:25] <Crell> Hm.
[22:25] <azidhaka> LYoung: me too, just remembering here the good ol' times
[22:25] <LYoung> make
[22:25] <LYoung> ummm... wrong window
[22:25] <Crell> rww: OK, that tries to update but fails.  It suggests use of pre-release or unofficial software packages, but I'm fairly sure I'm not doing any of that.
[22:26] <Crell> I don't think I have any pinned packages either.
[22:26] <Bop> ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host , any help loggin into server ?
[22:30] <flowbee> cycles
[22:30] <LYoung> can anyone tell me if there's an irc client I can use without a gui?
[22:31] <rww> LYoung: irssi or weechat
[22:31] <KB1JWQ> http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi changed my life, it may change yours. :-) LYoung
[22:31] <LYoung> got a link rww?
[22:31] <GeekMan> hey guys i found out why flash 10 wont install
[22:31] <rww> LYoung: append .org to the program names. don't need one, though, they're both in the repositories.
[22:33] <fisch246> anyone know of a fast and easy firewall setup?
[22:33] <fisch246> basically a stand in setup?
[22:33] <aeon-ltd> !firewall | fisch246
[22:33] <aeon-ltd> fisch246: ufw can be set up easily, pretty much block all, open port 80 for web 443 for messaging
[22:34] <LYoung> rww: do i download sources or binaries?
[22:34] <q0z> learning iptables is quite usefull though, if you plan to work in the ocmputer industry..
[22:34] <Gwar_Trolle> hey guys, I have a thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10424669 but I'll ask here too. Is it possible to make an ad hoc connection between two wlan cards? In short, I need to do  Nintendo DS [22:34] <rww> LYoung: ... you do sudo apt-get install irssi
[22:34] <GeekMan> for one i have no idea why it wouldnt let me download it from adobes site but when you use this command: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin  you cant download it because you (i) need the repository <IP_ADDRESS>-2lucid1 (adobe-flashplugin)
[22:34] <KB1JWQ> q0z: That's a bit inaccurate. :-)  It's useful if you intend to work with Linux.
[22:34] <q0z> hehe..
[22:35] <GeekMan> so i got the repository using software center
[22:35] <fisch246> aeon-ltd: i need something for a home network
[22:35] <q0z> KB1JWQ, just depends on how you interpret "work in the computer industry"
[22:36] <aeon-ltd> fisch246: oh you mean to act as a router?, then i do not know any
[22:37] <fisch246> well ipsense? i think is the name?
[22:37] <duckyflip> how can I stop windows loosing focus when you middle click on the window titlebar
[22:37] <james333james> Anybody from China?
[22:37] <fisch246> that's a BSD OS configured to be a firewall
[22:38] <magicianlord> so, 10.10 or 10.04.1?
[22:38] <fisch246> anyone have an experience with ipcop?
[22:38] <fisch246> any*
[22:38] <Crell> I used to run it, years ago.
[22:39] <rww> magicianlord: 10.04.1 = 10.04 + security upgrades in lucid-security. Assuming you apply updates sanely, they're identical.
[22:39] <GeekMan> ugh my java for my browsers is all kinds of messed up :*(
[22:39] <KB1JWQ> !anyone | fisch246
[22:39] <Crell> I eventually replaced it with an open source image for a Linksys router.
[22:39] <fisch246> ah ok
[22:39] <magicianlord> rww: well aware of it. problem wiht 10.04 is that it's slower than 10.10 and there is a sound mute bug that hasn't been fixed. however, i prefer the look
[22:39] <azidhaka> fisch246: you've got pfSense, ZeroShell, IPCop, monowall, etc
[22:39] <rww> magicianlord: sorry, I misread 10.10 as 10.04.
[22:40] <fisch246> well i'm looking for someone with experience with ipcop... so that was my question >.<
[22:40] <NixGeek> !china | james333james
[22:40] <azidhaka> azidhaka: if you prefer something linux-based, but not free, Mikrotik RouterOS is the easiest of them
[22:40] <fisch246> i haven't been able to test pfsense...
[22:40] <fisch246> and i've heard ipcop is the next best thing...
[22:40] <james333james> ubottu: thanks
[22:42] <murkasp> ыва
[22:43] <randomus1r> stick off
[22:44] <dark_soul> how do i get openssl-devel for ubuntu?
[22:44] <dark_soul> i was reading libssl-devel??
[22:45] <azidhaka> dark_soul: libssl-dev if memory serves well
[22:45] <dark_soul> i see
[22:45] <dark_soul> thanks
[22:45] <azidhaka> dark_soul: good luck
[22:45] <murkasp_> Есть русские?
[22:45] <murkasp_> Русске
[22:46] <dark_soul> how do you search for a package?
[22:46] <azidhaka> murkasp_: только болгарские
[22:46] <dark_soul> i'm so use to yum
[22:46] <dark_soul> yum search packagename
[22:46] <VCoolio> !ru | murkasp_
[22:46] <maco> !ru | murkasp_
[22:46] <geirha> dark_soul: aptitude search 'regex'
[22:46] <VCoolio> dark_soul: apt-cache search package
[22:46] <geirha> dark_soul: And then to get more info,   aptitude show libssl-dev
[22:46] <dark_soul> okay..so there's no apt-get search packagename
[22:47]  * dark_soul wonders why its separated
[22:47] <azidhaka> dark_soul: apt-get installs, apt-cache searches. aptitude does both
[22:47] <VCoolio> dark_soul: and apt-key there is too, have fun
[22:48] <dark_soul> okay..aptitude search libssl-devel yields nothing!
[22:48] <geirha> dark_soul: Also, aptitude has a curses interface (if you run it without arguments), so it's a bit like a cli synaptic.
[22:49] <geirha> dark_soul: in debian/ubuntu, development packages have -dev suffix, not -devel
[22:49] <dark_soul> oh
[22:49] <geirha> dark_soul: aptitude search 'ssl.*-dev'
[22:49] <dark_soul> geirha: okay..the settle things
[22:50] <bastidrazor> !find openssl-dev
[22:50] <azidhaka> !find libssl-dev
[22:50] <azidhaka> that's it
[22:50] <james333james> Anybody from China?
[22:52] <Sdw195> how do i reinstall grub form a ubuntu10.10 live disc?
[22:52] <Sdw195> disk
[22:53] <bastidrazor> Sdw195: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub
[22:55] <epox> hi, can someone remind me how to edit boot parameters permanently (as opposed to hitting "e" at startup)
[22:55] <Sdw195> bastidrazor  mount | tail 1  gives a cannot open `1' for reading no such file or directory
[22:55] <bastidrazor> epox: /etc/default/grub  add them to this line between the quotes GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
[22:56] <littlepenguin> azidhaka: thanks for the help
[22:57] <azidhaka> littlepenguin: don't mention it
[22:57] <bastidrazor> Sdw195: just use mount with out the | tail 1
[22:57] <Sdw195> ok
[22:58] <epox> bastidrazor: thanks
[23:01] <youra> how can I see how long a cd burn thru dd will take?
[23:02] <SabHawk> hey guys im looking to burn an avi to dvd and im also looking for a program that has a gui to make it easier, running ubuntu and i have aptitude
[23:02] <SabHawk> any suggestions?
[23:02] <durpa> i installed a lamp environment with apt-get install lamp^ , but i want to see what version of apache i'm running, and no where is httpd installed as a binary... anyone know why? or how i can check the version w/out httpd binary?
[23:02] <durpa> SabHawk: use mplayer
[23:02] <KM0201> SabHawk: do you want to make this DVD watchable in a normal DVD payer?
[23:02] <ray_> hi all
[23:02] <SabHawk> yes i do KM
[23:02] <KM0201> hmmm, not sure on that
[23:02] <MsBetty> SabHawk, devede should work
[23:03] <youra> how can I see how long a cd burn thru dd will take?
[23:03] <SabHawk> ill try both thank you
[23:03] <rww> durpa: apt-cache policy apache2 will show the version number
[23:03] <MsBetty> SabHawk, worked for me to create a looped dvd
[23:04] <rww> durpa: or "/usr/sbin/apache2 -v", if you want to use the binary itself.
[23:05] <blag> how can i remove the root password hash from /etc/shadow?
[23:06] <plazia> How do I enable the normal terminals. the Ctrl+alt+F1 - F5 ones. I press them and it goes black but there's no login prompt. just blank screen. I can then return to X with ctrl+alt+f7.
[23:07] <map7_> I'm trying to setup dual monitors on an Intel X4500 GPU with G41 chipset is it possible?
[23:07] <durpa> rww: thank you, that worked :D
[23:07] <rumpe1> plazia, well... if they are not there and you didn't "deleted" them, then you might have errors in dmesg/syslog
[23:08] <Sdw195> bastidrazor:  ok it gives me a list of things
[23:08] <plazia> rumpe1, in so far as I know I've not "deleted" them. and I've no errors pertaining to that sort of thing in syslog or the output of the dmesg command. For the very life of me I'm still unable to fathom as to why they're absent.
[23:08] <rumpe1> plazia, which ubuntu version?
[23:09] <plazia> 10.04
[23:09] <rumpe1> plazia, you could check for tty1.conf (e.g.) in /etc/init   (not /etc/init.d)
[23:10] <rumpe1> plazia, and start it with "initctl start tty1" ...   (or initctl restart tty1... →man initctl)
[23:10] <plazia> rumpe1, hmm they are there. tty1.conf and so forth. "start on stopped rc RUNLEVEL=[2345]"  "stop on runlevel [!2345]"  "respawn"  exec /sbin/getty -8 38400 tty1"
[23:10] <dos000> how do you make a  start script to launch in the background and start another tail right after that ? ./start.sh & ;  tail -100f nohup.out ?
[23:10] <dos000> for bash
[23:10] <Mrokii> How can I prevent kernel-messages (generated by a script) from showing in TTYs?
[23:11] <rumpe1> plazia, then try to start them with the command i gave and look for error messages...
[23:12] <plazia> rumpe1, http://pastebin.com/URUWT7aB is the output.
[23:12] <FloridaGuy> why would these have 2 different speeds....same mirror...2 different distro's....kubuntu...about 200 kbps slower the chakra....     http://mirror.rit.edu/ubuntu/   in ubuntu is 200 kbps slower...  then http://mirror.rit.edu/kdemod/  ... for chakra  ....  and i have noticed in other mirrors  that the same mirror slower in ubuntu then another distro
[23:12] <plazia> seems there is an error message of sorts.
[23:13] <rumpe1> plazia, retry it with sudo
[23:13] <tamtouma> hello ^^
[23:13] <plazia> rumpe1, that yeilds "initctl: Job is already running: tty1
[23:13] <plazia> "
[23:13] <rumpe1> plazia, and no terminal on ctrl-alt-f1 ?
[23:14] <plazia> nope just a blank screen
[23:14] <plazia> same with all ttys
[23:14] <plazia> rumpe1, sudo initctl restart tty1
[23:14] <plazia>  Just tried it with restart there. but no joy.
[23:15] <rumpe1> plazia, strange ⊙_ʘ
[23:15] <plazia> rumpe1, an echo of my thoughts :)
[23:16] <UbuntuNoob> hello
[23:16] <rumpe1> plazia, maybe try something different as "getty" in the configuration...  rungetty e.g.
[23:17] <UbuntuNoob> whats the best driver software i should use to make sure my drivers are all up to date :)?
[23:17] <plazia> rumpe1, thanks for your help it was all worth a shot. I'll keep digging.
[23:17] <Umeaboy> Hi!
[23:17] <skooz2011> hello
[23:18] <Umeaboy> Someone good at reading Spanish here? Correcture-reading if you know what I mean.
[23:18] <Umeaboy> Having some problems writing a letter in Spanish.
[23:18] <rww> ubottu: ot | Umeaboy
[23:19] <brandon420> whats the best torrent program? for >300 torrents?
[23:19] <Umeaboy> vuze.
[23:19] <brandon420> !torrent
[23:19] <brandon420> Umeaboy, isnt that a resource hog?
[23:19] <Umeaboy> Not really.
[23:19] <Umeaboy> That depends on your specs.
[23:20] <magicianlord> when is vlc getting updates to 1.1.7 in the ubuntu repos?
[23:20] <brandon420> quad core, 3.0, 2gb ram
[23:20] <rww> !latest | magicianlord
[23:21] <blag> does the default /etc/shadow file have the root user specified in it at all?
[23:21] <red2kic> magicianlord: Never. Or April (Next Ubuntu Release). Someone may make a PPA for it.
[23:21] <etfb> Here's a question where the default answer is apparently wrong: how do I make Firefox my default browser?
[23:21] <etfb> That is, when I click on an HTML file, how do I make it open in FF?  Currently it opens in Chromium.
[23:21] <jrib> !default | etfb
[23:21] <red2kic> etfb: System --> Pref --> Pref. Apps.
[23:22] <waseemdream> hey all
[23:22] <etfb> jrib: Doesn't work.  Any further explanations?
[23:23] <jrib> etfb: are you sure?
[23:23] <waseemdream> my Empathy Internet messaging app isnt recognizing my name, any qs or comments?
[23:23] <etfb> jrib: Quite.  Selected Open With..., chose Firefox and it opened with Firefox.  Closed FF, double clicked the file to see if it remembered, and up came Chromium.
[23:23] <jrib> etfb: that's not what the factoid says :/
[23:23] <waseemdream> plus i have major ocd so can't get it out of my mind as to why
[23:24] <etfb> Yes it is.  The factoid is wrong.  I experimented further, and what it SHOULD say is:
[23:24] <waseemdream> ohh and this empathy is only not recognizing facebook, all else is good
[23:25] <jrib> etfb: no.  What you just described is not what the procedure the factoid told you to do.  So either you did not describe what you did correctly or you did not do what the factoid says (hint: PROPERTIES)
[23:25] <waseemdream> btw is empathy the best all in one or are there better ones?
[23:25] <red2kic> waseemdream: Try Pidgin.
[23:25] <etfb> Select Open With... | Other application, then tick the box for "Remember this application".
[23:25] <etfb> The factoid is wrong.
[23:25] <jrib> etfb: either way works
[23:26] <waseemdream> cool will do,
[23:26] <jrib> etfb: like I said, you didn't click Properties first
[23:26] <waseemdream> pidgin
[23:26] <etfb> jrib: You're right.  I did misread it.
[23:26] <etfb> Sorry about that.
[23:27] <jrib> etfb: no problem, I'm tempted to right PROPERTIES in caps because I've had this discussion a hundred times :P
[23:27] <jrib> s/right/write
[23:27] <Guest58261> Hi, I'm trying to have conky launch on startup (after say 2 seconds)... there's plenty of stuff on google but I can't get any of it to work :S can anyone help?
[23:27] <etfb> However, that is the less obvious way.  The "Remember..." setting is more obvious (once you realise that the MOST obvious three methods all fail without warning, that is -- but that's Gnome's fault, not the factoid's)
[23:28] <jrib> etfb: what were the three obvious ways that didn't work?  One is just using open with directly I assume, the others?
[23:28] <jrib> Guest58261: what did you try exactly?
[23:28] <etfb> jrib: 1. Tell Firefox to be the default browser.
[23:28] <etfb> 2. Use Preferred Applications to choose Firefox.
[23:28] <jrib> etfb: in preferred apps?
[23:28] <Gwar_Trolle> hey guys, I have a thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10424669 but I'll ask here too. Is it possible to make an ad hoc connection between two wlan cards? In short, I need to do  Nintendo DS [23:28] <etfb> jrib: #1 is in Firefox itself.
[23:28] <Guest58261> I tried creating a script and adding it to the start up apps jrib, but the script itself didn't work, and I still couldn't get it to work when I tinkered with it. Just found something though, hold on
[23:29] <etfb> Hmmm... maybe I should just do a quick rundown of the options.  How easy is it to edit factoids, and what's the size limit?
[23:29] <jrib> etfb: ah yeah, I agree that is a bit misleading.  I think it just changes what x-www-browser is (maybe?).  Consider filing a bug complaining about it.  I agree it's confusing
[23:29] <jrib> !ubottu | etfb
[23:30] <waseemdream> no luck with pidgin doesnt offer facebook:(
[23:30] <jrib> Guest58261: pastebin the script if you are stuck
[23:30] <red2kic> waseemdream: It does.
[23:30] <red2kic> waseemdream: Plugin.
[23:30] <adamvr> gwar: it's doable, you'd need to set up packet forwarding between the two interfaces
[23:30] <jcvfen> ok, i have now tried 10 atleast different newsreader with newzbin.com and NONE of them works please help, wasted 5usd of this... crap. none of them will connect they all say its the wrong password etc
[23:31] <red2kic> waseemdream: Or don't use Facebook at all. Leave it at it. :\
[23:31] <adamvr> and i can't remember off the top of my head how you'd do that
[23:31] <waseemdream> okie doke, thanks
[23:31] <erUSUL> Gwar_Trolle: Network manager supports creating ad-hoc networks. not sure how well it will play with a nintendo DS though... why can not you connect the ds directly to the router?
[23:31] <Guest58261> jrib, this is one example I just tried that didn't work http://pastebin.com/gx31N8Wn all I want the script to do is wait 2 seconds then start conky
[23:31] <akaSoldats> Hi, I am having a problem installing vmware server on my machine. When I run the config file for first time use it asks me to locate my C header files then throws some errors and fails.
