[08:24] <pRoV7x>  urlin2u: thanks
[08:24] <glebihan> eFfeM, well maybe you could try replacing the whole "start on" section by this one : http://paste.ubuntu.com/664820/ (it's my /etc/init/gdm.conf file). Further than that I have no idea...
[08:25] <eFfeM> glebihan: will try that, also peeking at /var/log/gdm/* at the moment; also seems to report some issues
[08:26] <glebihan> eFfeM, ok let me know if you find anything
[08:27] <eFfeM> glebihan: will do (and thanks again for your help)
[08:27] <glebihan> eFfeM, you're welcome
[08:27] <nfun> hello I need a small help, I want to install an tar.gz application, I am new user in linux.
[08:27] <nfun> can anyone help?
[08:30] <spal> I don't use Ubuntu but a quick question for a friend of mine who needs help.
[08:30] <spal> Does the latest version of Ubuntu installer require the user to explictly allow grub to overwrite the MBR? Is there a screen or dialog during the installation that requires the user to decide whether or not to install GRUB?
[08:31] <glebihan> nfun, what application is it ? isn't it available in the repositories ?
[08:32] <nfun> it's utorrent
[08:32] <overclucker> utorrent has a linux release?
[08:32] <Abhijit> spal, yes mbr gets overwritten but i think you can tell it to not do so
[08:32] <nfun> yes
[08:32] <th0r> nfun: save yourself a lot of problems. Install a torrent package from synaptic
[08:33] <nfun> i will check
[08:33] <urlin2u> spal, in the custom install you can put grub in Ubuntu, not the mbr, choose the partition.
[08:33] <glebihan> !torrent  | nfun
[08:33] <spal> Abhijit, okay. so the installer does show the grub dialog and let the user decide. am I right? my friend claims that she did not see the GRUB dialog at all. It must be an error on her part. right?
[08:34] <Cobra36093> probably
[08:34] <urlin2u> spal, has to be the custom install bottom line it can't be held back but put in a partition=ubuntu.
[08:34] <Cobra36093> no
[08:34] <nfun> I found other torrent programs but I want utorrent
[08:34] <Abhijit> spal, no
[08:35] <Abhijit> spal, as i remember there is advance option in last dialoge window
[08:35] <Cobra36093> it was differnt when I did a dualboot with osx
[08:35] <urlin2u> Abhijit, the advanced is not in Natty.
[08:35] <Abhijit> urlin2u, ok
[08:35] <spal> so she is trying to create a dual boot. she says she has installed Ubuntu but Ubuntu doesn't appear while booting.
[08:35] <Abhijit> i forgot
[08:35] <Cobra36093> but a dual boot with osx yields some verry odd things
[08:36] <urlin2u> spal, did she use a thumb to install?
[08:36] <Cobra36093> I did
[08:36] <spal> no, the ubuntu live + installer CD
[08:36] <Cobra36093> had no probs
[08:36] <nfun> can you tell me the command to install a tar.gz?
[08:36] <nfun> or it's a lot?
[08:36] <spal> urlin2u, what do you mean by "custom install"? I don't know what it is.
[08:37] <Cobra36093> on ubuntu/mint?
[08:37] <urlin2u> spal, can you get her to run a script from a live ubuntu cd and get it pastebinned?
[08:37] <Abhijit> !complie | nfun
[08:37] <spal> urlin2u, yes, which script?
[08:37] <overclucker> nfun: it looks like utorrent only has the server component for linux. the client component is not yet complete.
[08:37] <Abhijit> !compile | nfun
[08:37] <urlin2u> spal, http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/
[08:37] <urlin2u> spal, creates a huge text file we need all of it in a pastebin.
[08:38] <glebihan> nfun, you should installation instructions inside the tarball (some README or INSTALL file)
[08:38] <glebihan> nfun, should *have*
[08:38] <nfun> overclucker so you suggest me put torrent client that i find in synaptic?
[08:38] <pRoV7x>  what's the difference between Ubuntu and Kubuntu?
[08:38] <glebihan> nfun, definitely a better solution
[08:39] <nfun> ok i will put something ready
[08:39] <nfun> thanks
[08:39] <Lasers> !de | pRoV7x
[08:39] <urlin2u> pRoV7x, the desktop and the apps associated.
[08:39] <glebihan> pRoV7x, Ubuntu uses Gnome (or Unity starting from Natty) as a desktop environment where Kubuntu uses KDE
[08:39] <Lasers> pRoV7x: Wrong factorid. Sorry.
[08:39] <Lasers> !desktops | pRoV7x
[08:40] <overclucker> nfun: Transmission works really well. You should already have it too.
[08:40] <Lasers> pRoV7x: Gnome -- http://www.gnome.org/ --  KDE -- http://kde.org/
[08:41] <pRoV7x>  :S
[08:41] <AMD> assalamu alaikum
[08:41] <spal> urlin2u, error: "gawk" could not be found, using "busybox awk" instead.
[08:41] <pRoV7x>  ok
[08:41] <pRoV7x>  thanks all
[08:41] <urlin2u> spal, ???
[08:41] <spal> urlin2u, error from that boot script
[08:41] <urlin2u> spal, the script is downloaded and a command run.
[08:42] <badbod> having problem installing on Via fakeraid , RAID 0 ,  ubuntu 11.04 , it cannot see the raid array, when type dmraid -ay it says crc eror sda and sdb  ,  I have windows installed on it already and it boots fine.
[08:42] <spal> Running "bash boot_info_script.sh" outputs this error:  "gawk" could not be found, using "busybox awk" instead.
[08:43] <spal> also, she is using the beta version, it seems.
[08:43] <spal> could that be an issue.
[08:44] <nfun> overclucker qBittorent or Ktorrent?
[08:44] <nfun> qBittorent has more stars
[08:44] <Lasers> nfun: Stars mean nothing. Find out what works well for you.
[08:45] <nfun> any suggestion? :)
[08:45] <urlin2u> spal, down load the zip extract it drag the script to the desktop and run this command.
[08:45] <urlin2u> sudo bash ~/Desktop/boot_info_script.sh
[08:45] <Lasers> nfun: Transmission. :3
[08:45] <overclucker> nfun: i'd say try eachh until you find the one you like the best. i used to use deluge, the interface looks a lot like utorrent
[08:45] <nfun> ok thanks
[08:46] <love4linux> I have problem with ubuntu recognizing my laptop's keyboard and mousepad...can anyone help me?
[08:46] <urlin2u> spal other option, script will go to home.
[08:46] <urlin2u> wget -c http://iweb.dl.sourceforge.net/project/bootinfoscript/bootinfoscript/0.55/boot_info_script055.sh
[08:46] <urlin2u> chmod 777 boot_info_script055.sh
[08:46] <urlin2u> sudo bash ./boot_info_script055.sh
[08:46] <FloodBot1> urlin2u: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[08:46] <nfun> I hope one day I can also help here :)
[08:47] <badbod> via raid 0 , help anyone?
[08:47] <urlin2u> spal, you can copy and paste the wholewget to a terminal then look in home for the text file
[08:47] <spal> okay
[08:48] <urlin2u> spal, here is a pastebin easier to copy if needed.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/664834/
[08:48] <ChessTeach> When I logon I get several error messages and nautilus is unable to run because of permissions. I have autolog on enabled so I am unable to choose safe mode settings, any idea how I can choose which manager to load when autolog on is enabled?
[08:49] <IdleOne> disable auto login and log out then log back in
[08:49] <IdleOne> at the login screen you will be able to select the session to use
[08:49] <ChessTeach> no i cannot
[08:49] <ChessTeach> all i can select is the user, once i do that it logs in
[08:50] <oCean> badbod: fakeraid with linux has lots of problems
[08:50] <IdleOne> ChessTeach: this is why you need to disable auto login first
[08:50] <ChessTeach> IdleOne: how do i do that, i cannot do anything after loggin on, this looks real badi
[08:50] <IdleOne> what do you mean by cannot do anything?
[08:51] <habanany> Looking for htc evo irc channel
[08:51] <IdleOne> !alis | habanany
[08:51] <ChessTeach> i get a blank screen after logging on(after several error messages) clicking and right clicking do nothing
[08:51] <habanany> Tx
[08:51] <ChessTeach> also my keyboard shortcuts do not work
[08:52] <ChessTeach> the screen saver just came on, so i typed in my password, and now it froze
[08:52] <habanany> Still lost
[08:52] <IdleOne> no clue what to tell you. Perhaps someone else can help
[08:52] <IdleOne> habanany: ask in #freenode for help with finding channels
[08:53] <habanany> Ok tx
[08:53] <ChessTeach> ok well thanks
[08:54] <yezariaely> ChessTeach: change to console mode (alt+ctrl+f1) and login yourself
[08:54] <yezariaely> does this work?
[08:54] <habanany> How do I ask?
[08:54] <yezariaely> habanany: as in real life ....
[08:54] <habanany> Ok
[08:55] <IdleOne> habanany: type /join #freenode
[08:55] <badbod> it installed before on this mainboard, I was using different hard disks then and an older version of ubuntu, it did reconize and install correctly, I have changed HD to 2x 250
[08:55] <habanany> Join freenode
[08:55] <yezariaely> lol
[08:55] <urlin2u> habanany, /join
[08:55] <ChessTeach> thats a good idea yezariaely let me try that
[08:56] <oCean> badbod: thing is, there are many issues using fakeraid, you can expect those issues when changing anything in a working configuration.
[08:56] <yezariaely> habanany: you might want to read an irc tutorial. use google and pick one
[08:58] <love4linux> can anyone help me find out why ubuntu 11.04 often does not recognize my laptop's keyboard and mousepad?
[08:58] <badbod> there are no issues, it works fine in wdoze and has always worked fine before ,  I have just gone to install 100.04 and it will not reconize the set at all,  so I am guessing that dmraid or dev-mapper is broken? or I need to do something like compile kernel with mapper static?
[08:58] <badbod> err install 11.04
[09:00] <eFfeM> glebihan: tried a few things (including moving from hdmi to dvi cable as I saw some hdmi related stuff in the log, but to no avail; one more Q though, I saw both your and mine gdm.conf refer to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but I do not have any, is that bad ?
[09:01] <glebihan> eFfeM, no I is not needed
[09:01] <glebihan> *it* is not
[09:01] <eFfeM> glebihan: thought so, but wanted to verify it to be sure
[09:01] <eFfeM> still peeking at the logs
[09:03] <RKyle> What is a good media player in Ubuntu?
[09:03] <eFfeM> glebihan: one odd thing is that initially (when it says something gone wrong; it is using VT #7 and then the successful one is on VT #8 (would have expected it to reuse #7)
[09:03] <yezariaely> RKyle: vlc, mplayer, xine
[09:04] <K-Rich> night all
[09:04] <glebihan> eFfeM, it sometimes happens when gdm restarts the display that it switches VT
[09:04] <RKyle> yezariaely, Thanks.
[09:04] <eFfeM> glebihan: can it use 7? if I go to that one it is where the boot log is ...
[09:04] <yezariaely> RKyle: so is it for audio or video?
[09:05] <RKyle> yezariaely, Audio but it needs to get the music from another partition with an NTFS format.
[09:05] <glebihan> eFfeM, you mean forcing gdm to chooose VT7 ?
[09:05] <slim_charles> vlc can do that
[09:06] <yezariaely> RKyle: then i would suggest xmms (similar to winamp) or banshee
[09:06] <yezariaely> RKyle: any player can access ntfs partitions if they are mounted
[09:06] <RKyle> yezariaely, Alright, thanks. :D
[09:06] <eFfeM> glebihan: afaik I did not force, and I know how to force, but if I now  do ctrl-alt-f7 it gives me the bot log screen saying starting service X etc; can gdm use that same VT?
[09:07] <RKyle> I know but some of them have problems from time to time for various reasons.
[09:07] <yezariaely> RKyle: ha I forgot one. I like audacious (it is running at the moment ;-) )
[09:07] <glebihan> eFfeM, it should be able to, as long as there isn't already a display in that VT
[09:07] <vinuvaka> Hm..
[09:08] <vinuvaka> And What about banshee?
[09:08] <yezariaely> vinuvaka: mentioned that earlier ;)
[09:08] <eFfeM> glebihan: ah ok, and I also see that the successful greeter.log file has lots of these messages
[09:08] <eFfeM> Window manager warning: Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details -  1: GetIOR failed: The connection is closed)
[09:08] <eFfeM> will check taht too
[09:08] <RKyle> yezariaely, I'm pretty used to Windows Media Player because most of the time I'm limited to Windows for various reasons, are any of them similar such as the library function?
[09:08] <vinuvaka> Oh, I got it! :)
[09:09] <sl33k> I want to upgrade firefox from the terminal. How do i do this?
[09:09] <eFfeM> glebihan: these are not in the failing log
[09:09] <glebihan> eFfeM, looks like you may have something there
[09:09] <slim_charles> RKyle, try Clementine
[09:09] <yezariaely> RKyle: I think they all have some library function but I think banshee would be the most similar, then
[09:09] <eFfeM> glebihan: will dig into this, but it is uncharted territory for me; ah well, learning new things on a saturday morning :-)
[09:10] <urlin2u> sl33k, which version do you have?
[09:10] <RKyle> slim_charles, yezariaely , Thanks, I'll try both and see which one I like best.
[09:10] <slim_charles> that or Amarok
[09:10] <yezariaely> ah, yes, and of course clementine
[09:10] <slim_charles> Amarok is the most powerful out of all those though
[09:10] <slim_charles> because theres scripts for it
[09:10] <vinuvaka> Well I am sorry if my question is out of topic, but i want to ask you all something  that sometimes my ubuntu hangs a lot while using for a long time,,,, any solution???
[09:10] <denugger> Hey noobs,my name is jimmy,the Great Linux User,i want you to know that i am the greatest here.You don`t know shit.
[09:10] <denugger> I am the best programmer here.
[09:10] <sl33k> urlin2u: 3.6.18
[09:11] <yezariaely> vinuvaka: describe hanging more exactly
[09:11] <urlin2u> sl33k, ehat distro are you running?
[09:11] <urlin2u> sl33k, what
[09:11] <denugger> how dare you kick someone great as me?
[09:11] <sl33k> urlin2u: 10.04
[09:11] <tsimpson> denugger: do you have a support question?
[09:11] <IdleOne> denugger: stop trolling now please.
[09:12] <vinuvaka> Actually, it hangs a lot when I use it for a long time. Ever thing becomes so slow, very slow. Al last I had to restart it to regain the speed...:(
[09:13] <urlin2u> sl33k, try the instructions here. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/firefox-4-ppa-for-ubuntu-10-04-and-10-10-users/
[09:13] <yezariaely> vinuvaka: describe your hardware and your version of ubuntu please
[09:13] <vinuvaka> I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and Pentium 4 intel
[09:13] <vinuvaka> and having ram of 1.5 gb
[09:13] <vinuvaka> \and abt 1 ghz speed
[09:14] <sl33k> urlin2u: thanks i will try
[09:14] <ironm> good morning. Is there a separate ubuntu IRC channel for xen ?
[09:14] <yezariaely> vinuvaka: sounds good. swapping is enabled?
[09:14] <vinuvaka> WHat is swapping?
[09:14] <yezariaely> vinuvaka: simply start a terminal and enter swapon -s followed by a return
[09:14] <vinuvaka> yezariaely:then?
[09:15] <urlin2u> sl33k, actually this looks  better. http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/firefox-5-lands-in-firefox-stable-ppa.html
[09:15] <yezariaely> is there a line saying something? e.g. /dev/sda ....
[09:15] <yezariaely> give me the size and used numbers
[09:15] <glebihan> urlin2u, sl33k : btw firefox 6 is now in that ppa
[09:16] <yezariaely> glebihan: they are really running fast with version now
[09:16] <RKyle> Random question out of curiosity, say I installed gnome because it was the only disc I have, I don't have any thumb drives or extra CDs. Is there a chance I can switch to KDE or would that require a fresh install?
[09:16] <urlin2u> glebihan, cool I was trying to find the highest release .
[09:16] <vinuvaka> What i have to enter in Terminal? swapon-s?
[09:16] <glebihan> yezariaely, yep they're already working on versions 7 and 8
[09:16] <AMD> can i install opera web browser on ubuntu.?
[09:16] <yezariaely> vinuvaka: yes but with a space before -s
[09:16] <sl33k> glebihan: thats cool :)
[09:16] <yezariaely> so enter "swapon -s" without the quotes
[09:17] <urlin2u> sl33k, both link have the same ppa.
[09:17] <sl33k> urlin2u: thanks for this link
[09:17] <urlin2u> sl33k, no problem.
[09:17] <vinuvaka> Somethign like this cam- simply start a terminal and enter swapon -s followed by a return
[09:17] <vinuvaka> Sorry Imean
[09:17] <ironm> good morning. Can you give your point of view about pros and contras when using CentOS or ubuntu / debian as production servers? - Thank you in advance for any hints.
[09:18] <vinuvaka> hosts/ubuntu/disks...
[09:18] <glebihan> ironm, probably not the right place for that kind of questions... try in ##linux maybe
[09:18] <simmouk87> ironm: less headaches with centos
[09:18] <yezariaely> vinuvaka: can you post it on pastebin?
[09:18] <vsync> ironm think i'd go with debian. stable as hell, repos have a bit outdated software, but it doesn't matter that much on a production server
[09:18] <Lasers> !opera | AMD
[09:19] <Lasers> AMD: Talk here.
[09:19] <vinuvaka> ywhat is pastebin?
[09:19] <glebihan> !pastebin | vinuvaka
[09:19] <Lasers> !pastebin | vinuvaka
[09:20] <RKyle> So is it possible to take a gnome Ubuntu install and turn it into Kubuntu?
[09:20] <ironm> thank you glebihan simion314 and vsync :)
[09:20] <vsync> RKyle yeah...
[09:20] <glebihan> RKyle, yes you just have to install the "kubuntu-desktop" package
[09:20] <ironm> vsync, squeeze has quite outdated packages
[09:20] <RKyle> And apt-get remove gnome-desktop right?
[09:21] <ironm> vsync, I don't have any experience if ubuntu handle it better
[09:21] <IdleOne> !purekde | RKyle
[09:21] <ChessTea1h> yezariaely: cool that worked, thanks
[09:21] <ironm> simmouk87, I use currently centos 5.5 for production . however I am not quite happy
[09:21] <yezariaely> ChessTea1h: what where you asking again?
[09:21] <RKyle> IdleOne, Thanks, that it what I was looking for.
[09:22] <vinuvaka> I pasted it now what to do, as they are asking for download that as text?
[09:22] <glebihan> vinuvaka, just paste the url here
[09:22] <yezariaely> vinuvaka: give me the link to this
[09:23] <vinuvaka> I think I have to craete an acoount inlaunchpad?
[09:24] <glebihan> vinuvaka, no you didn't have to click on the "download as text" link, just give the url of your paste
[09:25] <yezariaely> url = webaddress in your browser
[09:25] <vinuvaka> yeah here is the link frnss: http://paste.ubuntu.com/664847/
[09:25] <glebihan> vinuvaka, something like "http://paste.ubuntu.com/123456"
[09:25] <vinuvaka> yes..yes
[09:25] <vinuvaka> http://paste.ubuntu.com/664847/
[09:25] <yezariaely> vinuvaka: ok this looks good
[09:26] <yezariaely> vinuvaka: did you have a look in the log files immediately after your problems?
[09:26] <Myrtti> woo oggcamp \o/
[09:26] <tobyburton> Hello, having some ssh issues again/still
[09:26] <yezariaely> see at /var/log/
[09:26] <Lasers> AMD: Run "grep --color=always -iw lm /proc/cpuinfo"
[09:26] <vinuvaka> i didn't get you?
[09:26] <Lasers> AMD: Open a terminal.  Applications --> Terminal.  Run that.
[09:26] <yezariaely> vinuvaka: so there are log files in linux. If you have problems, the sometimes they are written in logfiles
[09:26] <Lasers> AMD: Please talk here instead of private message.
[09:27] <yezariaely> they log files are in /var/log/
[09:27] <tobyburton> Somehow I managed to mess things up, I can ssh with private ip, but the dyndns I setup doesn't work anymore. it hangs infinitely, or times out on some connections. However, the dynamic dns works for WOL, so I'm not sure where the real error is.
[09:27] <AMD> ok
[09:27] <vinuvaka> yezariaely:  how to do that..???
[09:28] <yezariaely> either in terminal enter cd /var/log or in a file browser navigate to /var/log
[09:28] <vinuvaka> after that?
[09:29] <Lasers> AMD: What does the message say after you ran the command?
[09:29] <yezariaely> vinuvaka: you know when this happened the last time (accurately to day, hour, minute?)
[09:29] <AMD> Lasers: i did that...grep --color=always -iw lm /proc/cpuinfo
[09:29] <Lasers> AMD: Yes. What did the terminal tell you?
[09:30] <vinuvaka> actaully it happens every day with and whenever i use ubuntu..:(

[09:31] <AMD> lasers: what is this?
[09:31] <Lasers> AMD: Flags. You can install 64bit if you want to.
[09:31] <vsync> AMD so, err, does it hang mid-use or after being left alone for a while?
[09:31] <yezariaely> vinuvaka: then please paste the following files on pastebin /var/log/ syslog kern.log dmesg messages
[09:31] <Lasers> !opera | AMD
[09:32] <Lasers> AMD: Follow ubottu's direction.
[09:32] <vsync> no wait, was it vinuvaka having the hang-problem?
[09:32] <spal> so ubuntu beta live CD doesn't ask for grub installation at any point in the installation dialogues?
[09:32] <spal> it does the grub installation behind the scenes?
[09:32] <vinuvaka> yes i'm having the hanging problem..
[09:32] <pratham> u can use midori very light and fast
[09:32] <Lasers> AMD: Just read the link and please stop sending me private messages.
[09:33] <pratham> never crashes
[09:33] <vsync> does it hang mid-use or after being left alone for a while, vinuvaka ?
[09:33] <vinuvaka> vsync: yes u r correct?
[09:33] <vinuvaka> yezariaely: actually whe  i typed that only var/log$ someything like this is coming..

[09:37] <theadmin> zicho: /join #bash for great justice
[09:38] <ChessTea1h> i have two computers set up through a router and I am trying to connect them through ssh (using either computer), but I keep getting connection refused. I am not sure of the router is blocking this, can someone help me troubleshoot this?

[09:53] <AMD> iwant 2 install opera on ubuntu 10.10...any one can help me?
[09:53] <Linkan> AMD, try apt-get install opera
[09:53] <mcl0vin> what is a good software you guys can recommend for me to dump a copy of a website and view it online
[09:53] <Linkan> in terminal
[09:54] <Linkan> mcl0vin: httrack is really good for that
[09:54] <Linkan> but you mean to view it offline right?
[09:54] <AMD> linkan: no...user@ubuntu:~$ apt-get install opera
[09:54] <AMD> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied)
[09:54] <AMD> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[09:54] <AMD> user@ubuntu:~$
[09:54] <mcl0vin> yes
[09:55] <Linkan> AMD, you are not root
[09:55] <Linkan> AMD try "sudo apt-get install opera"
[09:55] <mcl0vin> AMD do sudo
[09:56] <Linkan> mcl0vin: i have used Httrack many times, and it works very well with static pages.
[09:56] <AMD> linkan: ser@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install opera

[09:58] <mcl0vin> Linkan: well my friend got one, that dumps the whole thing into what ever format you want , DOC,txt,html, pdf, viedo etc, but he can't seem to find it or remember the name :(
[10:00] <MushroomNZ> using the keyboard is there a way to push applications between dual mointors left and right etc?
[10:02] <goddard> oh no dont install opera
[10:02] <goddard> they sale your information to advertisers haha
[10:02] <apokalipse> Hello world
[10:02] <theadmin> AMD: http://www.opera.com/download/get.pl?id=33853&location=270&nothanks=yes&sub=marine
[10:03] <theadmin> AMD: This is a debian package for Opera.
[10:03] <apokalipse> I try to use webcamstudio with 11.4 to play my cam in flash but flash does not find the virtual cam, any ideas ?
[10:05] <BlackArchDog> AMD: sudo install opera this runs dependencies for u
[10:06] <bhavesh> #jQuery
[10:06] <goddard> ?
[10:06] <bhavesh> forgot to put /join before it
[10:08] <theadmin> !info opera
[10:08] <theadmin> Beh.
[10:08] <theadmin> BlackArchDog: ^
[10:08] <ru6yxx> !info httrack
[10:09] <BlackArchDog> theadmin: already ready the above seems like ubuntu updates have caused problems with dependency or people are unaware of system handling dependency
[10:10] <BlackArchDog> theadmin: either way doing a compiled opera or getting a .deb package works
[10:11] <theadmin> BlackArchDog: Yeah, the .deb package is the way
[10:12] <overclucker> zicho: you could try this: it's not a pure shell script, as it calls the python interpreter: http://pastebin.com/LxCu4H5q
[10:12] <bulgakov> ##kernel
[10:13] <zicho> overclucker thx!
[10:13] <kv102t> exit
[10:13] <BlackArchDog> theadmin: know what can't you people compile packages its not that hard and compiling makes the system run faster....
[10:13] <overclucker> zicho: see if it works beforre thanking me . . .
[10:13] <zicho> overclucker it worked :)
[10:14] <theadmin> BlackArchDog: Opera is closed source.
[10:14] <theadmin> BlackArchDog: You can't compile it
[10:14] <BlackArchDog> theadmin: oh well, you got me... ;P
[10:15] <livingdaylight> Greetings Comrades
[10:15] <livingdaylight> Can someone tell me how or where I can check up on all my passwords in FireFox? Having trouble with one password which I'd like to manually remove is why - thanks.

[10:17] <philipballew> Herakles, what are them
[10:18] <slim_charles> livingdaylight, under security tab
[10:18] <Herakles> Yes ?

[10:19] <white_magic> does ubuntu need any special configuration to be able to read 3TB ntfs volumes?
[10:19] <theadmin> white_magic: Nope, why would it?
[10:19] <white_magic> theadmin: well, certain windoze OSs (like XP), do. something about needing to use GPT instead of MBR (MBR limitations)
[10:19] <oCean> starZ: seeing how many duplicates there are, and the importance set to high, I assume they are working to fix the issue. I don't think there's a workaround, since none is mentioned in the bugreport
[10:20] <llutz> white_magic: so do linux-systems
[10:20] <theadmin> white_magic: Ah, well, could be but that's not Linux, that's MBR problems
[10:20] <white_magic> i suppose it wouldn't apply even in windows if said drive is not a boot drive
[10:20] <starZ> oCean: ok, I get it..
[10:21] <Herakles> help! installing Software from Ubuntu DVD;  Softwarecenter can´t find the media.... (DVD)
[10:21] <Guest20329> hi
[10:21] <szal> Herakles: everything that is on the DVD should be available online
[10:21] <Guest20329> is there a german channel
[10:22] <llutz> !de
[10:22] <Herakles> szal..., wrong answer, sorry...
[10:22] <Guest20329> !de
[10:22] <Guest20329> what?
[10:22] <llutz> Guest20329:  Einfach "/join #ubuntu-de" eingeben.
[10:22] <Guest20329> ja gut
[10:23] <szal> Guest20329: clean your glasses ;)
[10:23] <llutz> reading german seem to be hard
[10:23] <jpds> llutz: No.
[10:24] <AMD> any one can tell how is use free internet on airtel @ india?
[10:24] <theadmin> llutz: If you don't know a language, any language is hard to read, even Python :D
[10:24] <ActionParsnip1> !ot | amd
[10:24] <ActionParsnip1> AMD: sorry, bad paste
[10:24] <ActionParsnip1> AMD: is it wireless?
[10:25] <theadmin> !piracy | AMD
[10:25] <theadmin> I don't think "free internet" even exists.
[10:25] <llutz> jpds: that ought to be ironic. (i'm german)
[10:25] <theadmin> Unless you live in mcdonalds
[10:25] <ActionParsnip1> theadmin: they give it out in airports sometimes :)
[10:25] <theadmin> ActionParsnip1: Or that, yeah
[10:26] <ActionParsnip1> AMD: is it 3G, seems its a 3G service...
[10:26] <Linkan> !o4o | Linkan
[10:26] <theadmin> Yuck 3G
[10:26] <AMD> no.
[10:27] <ActionParsnip1> AMD: what technology is it please?
[10:27] <BlackArchDog> white_magic: that is a setup issue with hard disk not linux distro
[10:27] <AMD> mobile 2g>
[10:28] <ActionParsnip1> AMD: so you want free 2G connection?
[10:28] <AMD> no......
[10:28] <AMD> i want 2 use inernet without pay money.
[10:28] <ActionParsnip1> AMD: never going to happen
[10:29] <Sidewinder1> Isn't that free data?
[10:29] <Herakles> !help installing Software from Ubuntu DVD (11.04) ;  Softwarecenter can´t find the media....(DVD)    (i guess it is looking at false location"/cdrom" instead looking in "/media"
[10:29] <ActionParsnip1> AMD: if you have a phone with 2G you can tether to that and use the connection there
[10:29] <ActionParsnip1> AMD: nobody is going to give you free data dude, think about it
[10:30] <Herakles> help!         installing Software from Ubuntu DVD (11.04) ;  Softwarecenter can´t find the media....(DVD)    (i guess it is looking at false location"/cdrom" instead looking in "/media"
[10:30] <AMD> i mean by  using a server like flyproxy.com
[10:31] <ActionParsnip1> AMD: you will still need a connection to the WWW to get to that
[10:31] <apokalipse> somebody use webcamstudio to play his cam with flash ?
[10:31] <ActionParsnip1> Herakles: could symlink the folder
[10:31] <talaba> i see this link, i don't understand how to use it http://www.pjtrix.com/blawg/2009/07/21/iphone-development-on-windows-linux-with-open-source-tools/
[10:31] <BlackArchDog> Herakles: have you tried sudo install package name in terminal????
[10:32] <llutz> AMD: maybe you should rephrase your  question to make clear what you really want to do  and you want to realize that it's likely offtopic here.
[10:32] <Eric-Nor> hey. how to clone a hdd. got no cd/dvd-rom. only got 2 sata.
[10:32] <white_magic> anyone here familiar with clonezilla? can it write an imagine as a FILE to an ntfs volume?
[10:32] <iceroot> what is the easiest way to edit files using nfs when the uid does not match? syncing all uids (slapd maybe) or can i fake uids when using nfs?
[10:32] <talaba> i want to develop iphone apps in ubuntu
[10:32] <Linkan> i know what AMD means
[10:32] <Herakles> ohhh wow...., no thanks.... i am just a stupid user and don´t want to become an expert....
[10:32] <white_magic> Eric-Nor: look into Clonezilla live boot option thru USB
[10:33] <Herakles>  not now, at least... ( maybe in future.)
[10:33] <BlackArchDog> Herakles: your not going to become and expert and learning to use apt-get ....
[10:33] <Linkan> he means he connects through a proxy with that indian 2g service, and most of those dont count proxy data as "DATA" so, the money wount tick away
[10:33] <Eric-Nor> white_magic: thx, i will look into that....no on-the-fly clone?
[10:33] <Linkan> hence, "free" internet
[10:34] <BlackArchDog> Herakles: apt-get package manager is as easy as it gets...
[10:34] <Herakles> That is not my fault..., I guess the OS is faulty....
[10:34] <white_magic> Eric-Nor - perhaps. Clonezilla is intended to backup drives as images. I think that involves ALL the partitions at once, crammed into an image file
[10:34] <llutz> Herakles: umount the dvd, run "sudo apt-cdrom add" and try again
[10:35] <white_magic> i'm still a bit confused what 'on-the-fly' means here
[10:35] <BlackArchDog> Herakles: About one second of typing and package is installed
[10:35] <Herakles> thank you llutz..., i am going to give it a try....
[10:35] <llutz> Herakles: don't mount the dvd
[10:35] <Herakles> k
[10:35] <white_magic> Eric-Nor: also look at this: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/install-mintbackup-linux-mint-backup.html
[10:36] <Eric-Nor> white_magic: ok. had trouble with one hdd here, and the system rebootet after 2 mins...tried another hdd a couple of times and changed to ubuntu classic, then it worked. but got strange noises from hdd, so like to try to clone.
[10:36]  * stilia-johny ....hi i have a lan with 3 pc (ubuntu all of them ) and i wanna when i write a name (like pc1) in firefox to get in server web page  without edit /etc/hosts
[10:36] <stilia-johny> i think that i must make a dns server in server!
[10:37] <theadmin> stilia-johny: /etc/hosts is your simpliest option.
[10:37] <theadmin> stilia-johny: DNS server for just 3 computers is insane.
[10:37] <llutz> stilia-johny: using a router? most handle dns, just configure it there
[10:38] <Sidewinder1> Eric-Nor, Sounds like your HD is about to fail; have you run System-->Administration-->Disk Utility on it?
[10:39]  * white_magic answer his own question: clonezilla cannot write drive images as standalone files
[10:39] <Eric-Nor> Sidewinder1: nope. i can try it. tried both hdd's with new install, and the system restarted after 2-3 minutes. finally i got i to work after some tries. but i want to change to the other hdd.
[10:39] <stilia-johny> without router config?
[10:41] <BlackArchDog> talaba: that is called development tools and last I check they had a full working linux for iphone
[10:41] <llutz> stilia-johny: alternative https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Dnsmasq
[10:41] <Sidewinder1> white_magic, You may wish to have a look at Grsync; it's a GUI, front-end for the rsync command.
[10:42] <white_magic> sidewinder1: it doesn't seem like rsync can make images of entire hard drives
[10:42] <white_magic> the drive i'd like to backup has both win7 and ubuntu installed
[10:43] <Herakles> llutz, ...    http://paste.ubuntu.com/664889/
[10:44] <llutz> Herakles: your dvd/cd doesn't hold a valid repository
[10:44] <Herakles> are you sure, llutz ?
[10:44] <llutz> Herakles: not me, apt-add is
[10:44] <llutz> atp-cdrom*
[10:45] <llutz> Herakles: looks like a live-cd you have
[10:45] <Sidewinder1> white_magic, I made back-ups of my XP/Lucid, simply by dragging and dropping in Nautilus, to an external eSATA drive; but not an "image", just all of the files.
[10:45] <ActionParsnip1> stilia-johny: your router should give name resolution
[10:45] <u19809> hi all, I have trouble with my networkmanager who things my cable is unplugged and refuses to setup my wired lan
[10:45] <u19809> running ifup does work if I put eth0 in my interfaces file
[10:45] <eFfeM> hm, how do I resolve unmet dependencies? e.g.
[10:45] <eFfeM>                         Depends: ubuntu-system-service (>= 0.1.10) but it is not going to be installed
[10:46] <eFfeM> but apt-get install ubuntu-system-service says it is already the latest version
[10:46] <ActionParsnip1> u19809: what if you disable the wired connection using nm-applet. Does the wireless then work?
[10:46] <white_magic> sidewinder: i suppose i could do that for linux, but for the win7 partition, it would be nice if i could image it. is there a tool for that?
[10:46] <white_magic> (that i could run from within linux)?
[10:46] <Herakles> llutz, It is a installable Live-DVD....; it came with easyLinux-magazine, but the author of the magazine said it would be possible to install from DVD....
[10:46] <ActionParsnip1> eFfeM: try:   sudo apt-get -f install
[10:46] <ActionParsnip1> !info ubuntu-system-service
[10:46] <sh4m> hellooo..
[10:46] <llutz> Herakles: install from dvd != dvd hold a repo to be used by an existing installation
[10:47] <ActionParsnip1> eFfeM: it's in the main repo
[10:47] <llutz> Herakles: you might use that dvd to install a fresh system
[10:47] <Sidewinder1> white_magic, I guess I'm not understanding you, sorry; as I used linux to back up all of my XP files.
[10:47] <eFfeM> ActionParsnip1: -f installing ubuntu-system-service did not help; it says ubuntu-system-service is already the newest version.
[10:48] <eFfeM> actually already tried an uninstall and reinstall of ubuntu-system-service but to no avail
[10:48] <ActionParsnip1> eFfeM: well you have satisfied the dep, what is the output of:   lsb_release -d
[10:48] <bazhang> eFfeM, why do you need a different version, whats the goal
[10:48] <Herakles> llutz, do you want me to quote the author of the artikel ( easyLinux-magazine) ???
[10:49] <llutz> Herakles: nope
[10:49] <eFfeM> i don't need a different version, accidently I installed gnome3, and want to go back to gnome2 but gnome-control-center does give a lot of unmet deps when installing
[10:49] <ActionParsnip1> Herakles: i believe the software centre can add CDs etc as repos
[10:49] <eFfeM> including ubuntu-system-service
[10:49] <bazhang> eFfeM, thats not fixable
[10:49] <theadmin> eFfeM: You can't downgrade.
[10:49] <bazhang> !gnome3 | eFfeM
[10:50] <bazhang> eFfeM, reinstall your system, and stay away from gnome3
[10:50] <ActionParsnip1> eFfeM: try ppa purge. Installing Gnome 3 breaks a LOT of everything
[10:50] <Herakles> ActionParsnip1,  i am going to get back to you later...., is that okay with you ?
[10:50] <ActionParsnip1> eFfeM: and the warnings are everywhere that it'snot stable or advised.
[10:50] <bazhang> ActionParsnip1, that wont do it, plus its unsupported here
[10:50] <ActionParsnip1> Herakles: sure if I'm around
[10:51] <Herakles> thank you llutz...., for trying hard.....
[10:51] <ru6yxx> !gnome2
[10:52] <ActionParsnip1> eFfeM: http://www.ajopaul.com/2011/04/26/ubuntu-11-04-uninstall-gnome3-and-revert-to-gnome-2-x/ possibly, basically you will need a reinstall to geta stable OS
[10:52] <eFfeM> bazhang: ActionParsnip1 yeah, apparently did this by accident, thought I could uninstall; was tring this guide
[10:52] <eFfeM> http://www.ajopaul.com/2011/04/26/ubuntu-11-04-uninstall-gnome3-and-revert-to-gnome-2-x/
[10:52] <eFfeM> ah same link
[10:52] <FloodBot1> eFfeM: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[10:52] <bazhang> eFfeM, back up what you can and reinstall, seriously
[10:52] <eFfeM> ActionParsnip1: did that; installing gnome-panel did not help, guess I indeed need to reinstall
[10:53] <ActionParsnip1> eFfeM: i would
[10:53] <eFfeM> did something wrong when going from unity to gdm
[10:53] <eFfeM> i'll reinstall; thanks for the advise
[10:53] <eFfeM> system is still fairly new
[10:54] <Sidewinder1> bazhang, Kinda' ot, i realize but, has there been any talk of including Gnome 3 in Pesky Penguin, or whatever they decide to name the next LTS version?
[10:54] <theadmin> Sidewinder1: Gnome3 is there in 11.10 AFAIK
[10:54] <ActionParsnip1> oneiric uses Gnome3
[10:55] <bazhang> Sidewinder1, /join #ubuntu-offtopic for chit chat you know that; #ubuntu+1 for oneiric, and yes gnome3 will be part of the next release
[10:55] <ActionParsnip1> pesky penguin sounds awesome
[10:55] <Herakles> llutz, would you be so kind to check this output ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/664897/
[10:55] <Sidewinder1> Thanx guys; I guess that means the next LTS will too. :-)

[11:00] <theadmin> ActionParsnip1: I like "Pure Penguin" better, though that wouldn't really describe Ubuntu and it's way well
[11:01] <dr_willis> check that you are still using compiz. ut may have changed to metacity
[11:01] <theadmin> larryone: ps aux | grep compiz
[11:01] <Plizzo> Hello, does anyone here have any experience in setting up OpenVPN under Ubuntu Server 11.04?
[11:01] <dr_willis> larryone:  thats more of a windowmanager setting
[11:01] <Plizzo> I tried using this tutorial, but it does not work
[11:01] <Plizzo> http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/457103:install-and-configure-openvpn-server-on-linux
[11:01] <dr_willis> !vpn
[11:01] <larryone> compiz is running alright
[11:02] <theadmin> !ccsm | larryone: Install this and dig around in settings
[11:02] <Plizzo> dr_willis: I do not need information on using a client, I need to get a server running
[11:02] <dr_willis> larryone:  there is some command to reses.compiz to defaults also
[11:03] <dr_willis> Plizzo: i sousd
[11:03] <Plizzo> dr_willis: And I do not have a desktop to work with, only terminal
[11:03] <dr_willis> would suggest tge forums and askubuntu.cim
[11:03] <dr_willis> .cim
[11:03] <dr_willis> com
[11:03] <theadmin> .com
[11:04] <dr_willis> andchat is messing up again on me
[11:04] <theadmin> dr_willis: Happens. I suggest you Swype rather than type.
[11:04] <theadmin> dr_willis: Gingerbread knows ".com" as a word
[11:04] <dr_willis> i cant swyoe at all
[11:05] <dr_willis> its git the sam issue
[11:05] <dr_willis> I cant see the words as I type on and chat
[11:06] <theadmin> dr_willis: Check out Settings -> Locale and Text -> Select input method to enable Swype. Just if it uses some other keyboard as of now
[11:07] <dr_willis> its affecting all 5 keybords ive tried theadmin
[11:07] <theadmin> dr_willis: Wow, odd.
[11:07] <dr_willis> always seen this bug in andchat for ages on and off
[11:07] <theadmin> dr_willis: Didn't happen to me in my andchat... However we've gone offtopic :D
[11:08] <larryone> that package adds some nice graphical tools, but didnt fix the issue
[11:08] <theadmin> larryone: Look in the settings, it *should* be an option
[11:08] <dr_willis> if I back out to main menu and back it fixeself.for a while
[11:09] <wildbat> hmmmm
[11:09] <wildbat> grub-install don't like dir name with space :<
[11:10] <dr_willis> use quotes wild
[11:10] <theadmin> wildbat: sudo grub-install /dev/sdz50 # xD
[11:10] <theadmin> wildbat: That works too
[11:10] <dr_willis> most cli apps dont like spaces
[11:10] <ActionParsnip1> dr_willis: andchat per chance?
[11:10] <theadmin> wildbat: Or, sudo grub-install "/media/something"
[11:10] <dr_willis> ActionParsnip1: yep
[11:10] <larryone> aah screw it, i'll ignore the problem and work around it
[11:11] <ActionParsnip1> dr_willis: I know your struggle but the client is awesome :)
[11:11] <Ramses> ready to solve complext Linux questions
[11:11] <dr_willis> ActionParsnip1:  well.. it works.. :)
[11:12] <bazhang> Ramses, pardon?
[11:12] <dr_willis> one of the few that can hide part quits and joins.
[11:12] <linuxR> hi all
[11:12] <wildbat> dr_willis: i tried but not working :S, theadmin i think is bug in the --boot-directory option
[11:12] <ActionParsnip1> dr_willis: and can be set to not show the motd
[11:12] <Ramses> bazhang: what is your question?
[11:13] <bazhang> Ramses, none
[11:13] <linuxR> can some one tell me how to listen to an mp3 stream using the player "audacious2"? I always get an error "No decoder found for <stream address>". Playing mp3 standalone files works. help, anyone?
[11:14] <apokalipse> how to rebuil my kernel with CONFIG_VIDEO_V4L1_COMPAT ?
[11:14] <theadmin> apokalipse: I think you answered it yourself, compile it from source. Once you get to "make menuconfig", mark that option
[11:14] <larryone> theadmin, dr_willis, aaah - you guys misunderstood my initial problem
[11:14] <theadmin> larryone: Oh?
[11:14] <larryone> not a matter of dragging to screens edge to move toa  differernt workspace
[11:15] <larryone> i mean in the window switcher thing on my toolbar
[11:15] <larryone> that's what broke
[11:15] <theadmin> larryone: Oh... Hm... I dunno then
[11:15] <larryone> but i dont really need that now that i have the comoiz working
[11:15] <larryone> =0)
[11:16] <selami_kazan43> can someone suggest me a copy program for Ubuntu ? I want to copy the files even some of parts are damaged. Also i need to pause/resume the copying process like on kde.
[11:16] <theadmin> !rsync | selami_kazan43
[11:17] <apokalipse> thank you theadmin but have you a link eplaining how to re compil it ?
[11:17] <alex__> apokalipse, google it
[11:18] <theadmin> apokalipse: Well... This isn't really for Ubuntu, but this chapter explains it quite well. Just ignore the emerge parts. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=7#doc_chap3
[11:18] <ActionParsnip1> selami_kazan43: dropbox can do that
[11:18] <shinsuke> hi. i want to create a truecrypt container by using --filesystem=ext3 under ubuntu. but when i mount the container i get the error: wrong filesystem. please help. thanks.
[11:18] <jrib> !kernel | apokalipse
[11:18] <apokalipse> thanks theadmin and alex__ yes i'm googling !
[11:18] <alex__> apokalipse, if you're on ubuntu there's a really nice application doing everything for you
[11:19] <alex__> apokalipse, can't remember it's name now though
[11:19] <alex__> maybe someone else can
[11:20] <vinothkr> ?
[11:20] <alex__> apokalipse, it's called KernelCheck
[11:21] <wildbat> dr_willis,theadmin: tried escaping , qouting , qoute and escaping in --boot-directory all failed :S
[11:21] <alex__> apokalipse, check it out, it's quite easy to rebuild and configure the kernel
[11:21] <Ramses> AMD?
[11:22] <alex__> wildbat, what are you trying to do?
[11:22] <theadmin> wildbat: You prolly can't install to such a directory then
[11:23] <wildbat> alex__: grub-install :> to a location like "/media/USB Ext4 60GB"
[11:23] <apokalipse> thanks alex
[11:23] <alex__> that makes no sense
[11:23] <alex__> it has to be a device
[11:24] <alex__> that is, /dev/someething
[11:24] <alex__> at least that's what man says :)
[11:24] <wildbat> alex__: --boot-directory
[11:24] <theadmin> wildbat: How about you manually mount that USB stick elsewhere?
[11:24] <vinothkr> wildbat, I guess you cant do grub install on some mounted drive.
[11:25] <alex__> wildbat, but that's just where you put the actual images
[11:25] <theadmin> wildbat: sudo mount -o remount "/media/USB Ext4 60GB" /mnt
[11:25] <edbian> wildbat: grub-install --recheck --boot-directory="/mnt/some/path/" /dev/sda     (no number on /dev/sda just the letter e.g. a, b, c whatev)
[11:25] <wildbat> theadmin: yeah i make a ln -s that worked .  but bug in grub-install:S
[11:25] <alex__> wildbat, default for --boot-dir is /boot/grub
[11:26] <wildbat> alex__: i am remaking a boot USB :)
[11:26] <alex__> wildbat, I see
[11:26] <ActionParsnip1> theadmin: you'll need to escape the spaces
[11:27] <ActionParsnip1> theadmin: USB\ Ext4\ 60Gb
[11:27] <theadmin> ActionParsnip1: I haz quotes there :P
[11:27] <ActionParsnip1> theadmin: ahhh, missed that
[11:27] <theadmin> ActionParsnip1: np
[11:27] <Estragon> does ubuntu has a battery log ?
[11:28] <BlackArchDog> talaba: whats up??
[11:28] <Estragon> where I could see when computer is plugged / unplugged
[11:28] <wildbat> hmmm i forgot which command to report a bug
[11:29] <selami_kazan43> ActionParsnip1: dropbox is something little different...
[11:29] <Sidewinder1> !bug > wildbat
[11:30] <edbian> wildbat: reportbug
[11:31] <wildbat> grub-install belong to grub package ,right?
[11:31] <ActionParsnip1> selami_kazan43: it can sync over LAN too
[11:32] <selami_kazan43> ActionParsnip1 no ijust nee a simple copier for my local files . not lan or something.
[11:32] <ActionParsnip1> selami_kazan43: then i'd use rsync
[11:33] <glebihan> !battery-stats | Estragon
[11:33] <glebihan> !info battery-stats | Estragon
[11:33] <Sidewinder1> selami_kazan43, Or the GUI version, Grsync; it's in the Repos I believe.
[11:34] <Estragon> glebihan: thx
[11:34] <glebihan> Estragon, you're welcome
[11:34] <kaiyin> if install ubuntu on a mobile hard drive, where will it write MBR?
[11:34] <selami_kazan43> Sidewinder1: i installed it . but it just copy folders not files. :(
[11:34] <edbian> kaiyin: yes
[11:35] <glebihan> edbian, the question was "where"
[11:35] <kaiyin> edbian: where?
[11:35] <edbian> kaiyin: where?  in the MBR of the drive that ubuntu is being installed on
[11:35] <edbian> kaiyin: the MBR of any drive is the first 512bytes
[11:36] <kaiyin> i have this pc with win xp installed, and i want to boot into ubuntu with a mobile hard drive. I want to make sure that the original MBR on the pc be not altered.
[11:36] <Gentoo64> kaiyin- unplug the xp drive when you installl ubuntu
[11:36] <th0r> selami_kazan43: you have to be careful with grsync. /home/test will copy the folder test, /home/test/ will copy just the files inside test
[11:37] <kaiyin> edbian: that is to say, it will be on the mobile drive?
[11:37] <edbian> kaiyin: It will not as long as you install all ubuntu partitions (specifically boot) onto the mobile HDD.  If you really wanna be sure.  Disconnect the xp hdd while you do the install.
[11:37] <edbian> kaiyin: yes
[11:37] <selami_kazan43> th0r i just need copy anythink... i simple copier.
[11:37] <kaiyin> thanks
[11:37] <edbian> kaiyin: sure
[11:38] <th0r> selami_kazan43: then use the filemanager, or in a terminal use mc
[11:39] <zabomber> hi guys. i have setup a PPTP VPN connection using pppd . i can login and i get an IP. i can access the ubuntu host but i can't "hop" across into the network and see/ping other devices on the network??
[11:40] <zabomber> anyone?
[11:41] <BluesKaj> Hey folks
[11:41] <selami_kazan43> th0r no i need gui. i can not use any terminal files
[11:41] <selami_kazan43> th0r i can not use terminal softwares to copy  just a file.
[11:41] <selami_kazan43> th0r thnak you.
[11:42] <TestingTesting1> I am getting this weired error while installing valac, how to fix it? e.g: https://gist.github.com/1143756
[11:44] <glebihan> TestingTesting1, maybe some pointers there : http://superuser.com/questions/199582/apt-error-could-not-perform-immediate-configuration-on
[11:45] <ActionParsnip1> selami_kazan43: why can't you use them, it's the same style interface as the one you are using now, text
[11:46] <selami_kazan43> ActionParsnip1 i know. not because it is difficult or something. i just don't want to open terminal every t,me to copy paste a file :) i do it million times in a day. i don't use pause/resume features if i will use terminal.
[11:46] <glebihan> selami_kazan43, then just use nautilus...
[11:46] <glebihan> selami_kazan43, no sorry
[11:46] <selami_kazan43> glebihan ok. thank you!
[11:47] <ActionParsnip1> selami_kazan43: a tonne of linux's power is in the terminal, it willpay dividends to learn how to use it
[11:47] <glebihan> selami_kazan43, you won't have pause/resume feature
[11:47] <ActionParsnip1> selami_kazan43: a lot of the mundane repetative tasks you do can easily be scripted
[11:48] <ActionParsnip1> TestingTesting1: did you websearch for the error you got?
[11:48] <ActionParsnip1> TestingTesting1: try:  sudo apt-get clean       then retry
[11:48] <dr_willis> guake. or other apps mean never gaving to open a term over and over.. :)
[11:49] <ActionParsnip1> TestingTesting1: if you get the same then run:  cd /var/cache/apt/archives; sudo dpkg -i *.deb
[11:49]  * ActionParsnip1 loves guake  :)
[11:49] <dr_willis> awn has a nice terminal applet also
[11:50] <JakeR003> how long it took you to learn all of this dr_willis
[11:52] <Estragon> I want to prevent ubuntu from changing automatically screen brightness
[11:52] <th0r> JakeR003: three to five days, depending on the size of your brain <smile>
[11:52] <Estragon> how can I do this ?
[11:52] <JakeR003> i'm on my 4th day and i learned very little
[11:52] <bobJabba> lol @ th0r
[11:52] <Estragon> already went to system => preferences => power management, but it continue to lower / up the brightness
[11:52] <JakeR003> where do you plug the cable in your brain? to upload the matrix infos
[11:52] <th0r> Estragon: sometimes it is a function of the bios
[11:53] <Estragon> th0r: gonna check this later then, thx
[11:53] <glebihan> Estragon, System->preferences->power management or "gnome-power-manager"
[11:53] <ActionParsnip1> JakeR003: We are all learning more about the OS each day, after 4 days you probably picked up a lot but it's subtle
[11:54] <glebihan> Estragon, oh sorry didn't see your last post
[11:54] <Lasers> JakeR003: You can't know everything. You'll remember commands that are most relevant to your interests.
[11:54] <chenthu> hey all
[11:54] <thechef> How can I disable middle button emulation forever?
[11:55] <chenthu> how can i remove something i have force installed and it hasnt installed properly?
[11:55] <Hackwar> hi folks, I'm a little bit stumped. I installed ubuntu 11.04 in virtualbox on a windows host and now wanted to install a bitnami stack (the redmine one, to be precise) I downloaded the file, which has a .bin extension and according to their wiki, you simply have to "doubleclick",
[11:55] <Hackwar> but then I get the message that there is no application associated with these types of files. What am I doing wrong???
[11:56] <ActionParsnip1> Hackwar: mark it as executable and you can double click it
[11:56] <Hackwar> its already marked as rwx
[11:56] <ActionParsnip1> Hackwar: then run it in a terminal
[11:56] <thechef> chenthu, by removing it with dpkg, i guess (maybe also with force)
[11:57] <MagicJ> when i apt-get upgrade it all looks ok till the end and i get message E: sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code - looing above it I see it is linux-image... and linux-headers... yjat have failed = how do I fix this?
[11:57] <ActionParsnip1> MagicJ: can you pastebin the text please
[11:58] <SuperLand> 1
[11:58] <ActionParsnip1> Lekensteyn: please don't away like that
[11:58] <MagicJ> ActionParsnip1: will do = one moment please
[11:58] <Hackwar> ActionParsnip1: ARGL! /me was stupid. Thanks for helping out. it works now
[11:58] <ActionParsnip1> Hackwar: np man :)
[12:03] <AMD> anyone can send an islamic software?

[12:05] <JakeR003> which islamic software ?
[12:05] <th0r> JakeR003: a cartoon editor
[12:05] <theadmin> ironm: It's possible. You can use dd, unetbootin or lili
[12:06] <MagicJ> ActionParsnip1:  the paste bin is http://pastebin.com/0gzKkdN9
[12:06] <theadmin> ironm: Actually, I'm not sure about dd
[12:06] <html> ironm,  i wish i could just even get debian on my ace netbook
[12:06] <ironm> theadmin, it didn't work with dd
[12:06] <MagicJ> ActionParsnip1: I put the stderr and the stdout both there
[12:06] <Lasers> ironm: dd or http://git.moblin.org/cgit.cgi/moblin-image-creator/plain/image-writer
[12:06] <ironm> thanks a log Lasers  :) . I will try http://git.moblin.org/cgit.cgi/moblin-image-creator/plain/image-writer
[12:07] <Lasers> ironm: Well the script uses dd -- Try that.
[12:07] <ironm> Lasers, I used: root@xen411dom0:/ftp# dd if=./ubuntu-11.04-server-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=16M
[12:07] <ironm> but it didn't boot
[12:07] <chenthu> thechef, but it hasnt installed properly and i cant use the instaler file name
[12:07] <theadmin> ironm: Try unetbootin
[12:08] <theadmin> ironm: Works really well with Ubuntu
[12:08] <ironm> yes theadmin  .. I can try to use it on debian wheezy to create such ubuntu boot stick
[12:08] <theadmin> ironm: Do so.
[12:08] <ironm> thanks a lot theadmin :)
[12:08] <thechef> chenthu, what does apt-get -f install do?
[12:09] <ironm> thechef, force?
[12:09] <Lasers> ironm: I find zcat much easier for usb installations. Just my opinion.
[12:09] <ironm> how to use zcat Lasers  ?
[12:09] <dalimun> AMD try sabily
[12:09] <zabomber> hey guys anyone here any good with pppd?
[12:10] <Lasers> ironm: Download http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/natty/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/netboot.tar.gz
[12:10] <ironm> Lasers, I don't want to install on the usb stick . I would like to install from the USB stick
[12:10] <chenthu> thechef, let me check again
[12:10] <ironm> OK
[12:10] <Lasers> ironm: Right. Install to computer from USB stick.
[12:10] <ironm> Lasers, I should mention that I have to install offline
[12:10] <Lasers> ironm: Oh. Nevermind then.
[12:11] <Lasers> ironm: Try the script. Let me know how it goes.
[12:11] <Lasers> Then... unetbootin.
[12:11] <ironm> yes Lasers .. I will test http://git.moblin.org/cgit.cgi/moblin-image-creator/plain/image-writer

[12:12] <uni4dfx> is there a way to reboot ubuntu in a way that you could resume everything you were doing? sort of like hibernation
[12:14] <glebihan> uni4dfx, you can save your session in order for it to be restored on reboot, see "gnome-session-save"
[12:14] <bullgard4_> uni4dfx: What is the difference to hibernation?
[12:14] <uni4dfx> glebihan that's not good enough. i have to close and re-open every application
[12:15] <uni4dfx> bullgard4_ well in hibernation / suspension everything stays exactly the way you left it
[12:15] <glebihan> uni4dfx, that is what gnome-session-save should do
[12:16] <uni4dfx> glebihan no, it just re-launches stuff you had running
[12:16] <bullgard4_> uni4dfx: You did not make clear your point to  me.
[12:16] <uni4dfx> OK do you know what happens when you suspend your system?
[12:16] <glebihan> uni4dfx, and what is the difference between stuff and applications here ?
[12:17] <uni4dfx> glebihan do you know what happens when you suspend?
[12:17] <uni4dfx> i want the same thing + being able to reboot in between
[12:17] <ironm> Lasers, it looks god (copying to the stick) pbf.sh image-writer.msg  http://paste.debian.net/126082/
[12:17] <ironm> Lasers, I will try to boot from the stick now
[12:18] <glebihan> uni4dfx, yes it keeps the content of the memory in order for complete session to be restored
[12:18] <uni4dfx> but apparently this isn't possible or someone would've already mentioned a solution
[12:18] <Lasers> ironm: Nom nom nom. *Cross fingers*
[12:19] <glebihan> uni4dfx, you're right it is not possible, you cannot keep the content of your memory intact while rebooting
[12:19] <chenthu> thechef, thank you solved.... i had a "libkdesupport4" pack installed because of my force install but now i have removed it using "sudo apt-get autoremove"...thank you very much for the help

[12:25] <glebihan> AMD, what ??
[12:25] <Lasers> AMD: No.
[12:25] <Lasers> Cameron904: Is Linux your primary OS or you're using it as a distraction toy?
[12:26] <coz_> Cameron904,   I woudnt worry guy  it will happen :)
[12:26] <AMD> lasers: can i download?
[12:26] <jeff__> he
[12:26] <dr-willis> hes addicted to the eyecandy
[12:26] <jeff__> an1 here?
[12:26] <Lasers> AMD: You can download NetworkManagerApplet -- but you can't use it on Windows. Windows have its own stuffs.
[12:26] <Cameron904> Lasers: yep, the only time i ever use windows or anything besides my noobuntu, is when i fix someones PC, or when im working on a project at school =]
[12:27] <dr-willis> jeff__:  like 1000 here
[12:27] <AMD> laseres: can u say any software like it?
[12:27] <Cameron904> and i need to use ms excel, i cannot stand open office's version of excel. it sucks horribly.
[12:27] <bazhang> amd for windows?
[12:27] <glebihan> AMD, this is ubuntu support channel
[12:27] <Lasers> Cameron904: If you got extra hardware, try different distro. It'll help a lot. Also, you can't know everything. There are 100 different way to do a job.
[12:27] <bazhang> ##windows amd
[12:27] <jeff__> dr-willis..lol
[12:28] <jeff__> 1st tym
[12:28] <Cameron904> Lasers: yeah, this distro is way underpowered for this laptop. i do enjoy how it takes like a 1/4 second to do anything though.
[12:29] <AMD> can u say from where i can download a network manager likeNetworkManager Applet ?
[12:29] <Cameron904> Lasers: alright im in the main file, has the "changelog, license, makefile, rarcrack.c, rarcrack.h, readme, readme.html, release_notes, test.7z, test.rar, test.zip"
[12:29] <ironm> Lasers, it doesn't boot from the stick
[12:29] <bazhang> !ot | AMD
[12:29] <leotr> hi is it possbile to make side panel persistent?
[12:29] <bazhang> AMD, please stop asking for windows support here
[12:30] <dr-willis> leotr:  you maen not autohide?
[12:30] <Lasers> ironm: Crap. md5sum is good? Funny thing. zcat is the only thing I know that worked well for me and USB sticks. I sticked with it from that day on.
[12:30] <leotr> dr-willis: yes
[12:30] <html> rrr thats bothersome  that  my name comes up alot on posted links here
[12:30] <theadmin> html: I'd change it if I were you, cause... yeah xD Too common
[12:31] <dr-willis> leotr:  yes. its a ccsm setting
[12:31] <leotr> it's not comfortable to switch between windows when it autohides
[12:31] <leotr> ok thanks
[12:31] <Lasers> ironm: You definitely can't do it with Internet?
[12:31] <dr-willis> leotr:  use hotkeys :)
[12:32] <htmlinprogress> theadmin,  , yes,  lol im iin the middle of something and my name is called,,,,, in vain
[12:32] <ironm> Lasers, if you are somewhere in a data center you will not have internet access
[12:32] <Lasers> htmlinprogress: Be deprecated.  I don't use Ubuntu myself.
[12:34] <ironm> Lasers, thank you ;) . may I ask you in PC what OS you use?
[12:34] <AMD> bazhang: no one is helping me at ##windowa.
[12:34] <Lasers> ironm: MacOSX. Debian. Arch.  All those OS I supported.
[12:35] <theadmin> AMD, try #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:35] <theadmin> Lasers: Yay Arch, eww OSX xD
[12:35] <ironm> AMD, so maybe you should start using ubuntu .. or another linux ;)
[12:35] <htmlinprogress> AMD,  whats you need ?
[12:35] <AMD> thedmin: i also tried that.
[12:35] <ironm> Lasers, thank you .. I prefer debian myself .. however have to support centos (job)
[12:35] <Lasers> ironm: Try Ubuntu Startup Creator?
[12:36] <Cameron904> "tar -xjf rarcrack-VERSION.tar.bz2
[12:36] <Cameron904> cd rarcrack-VERSION
[12:36] <Cameron904> #you need gcc or any C compiler (edit Makefile CC=YOUR_C_COMPILER)
[12:36] <Cameron904> make
[12:36] <Cameron904> #you must be root in next step:
[12:36] <FloodBot1> Cameron904: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:36] <Cameron904> make install"   what exactly does this mean??
[12:36] <ironm> Lasers,  I don't have here an installed ubuntu system yet
[12:36] <ironm> Lasers, I can of course burn a CD and install from it ..
[12:36] <htmlinprogress> Lasers,  that hardly works for me  but why everyone else?
[12:37] <glebihan> Cameron904, means that you have to run the command "sudo make install"
[12:37] <htmlinprogress> how do you get the channel im in in empthy?
[12:37] <Sidewinder1> Cameron904, Perhaps this will help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware?highlight=%28%28CompilingEasyHowTo%29%29
[12:37] <theadmin> ironm: If you have lots of RAM, you can use VirtualBox to install to a real HD: VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename ~/lol.vdi -rawdisk /dev/sda
[12:37] <Lasers> htmlinprogress: Oh I'm saying it because if you're deprecated, then nobody will use you (that standard is gone).
[12:38] <Cameron904> Sidewinder1: thanks, ill try n figure it out myself, if not ill be back :)
[12:38] <Sidewinder1> NP
[12:39] <ironm> theadmin I have a lot of RAM .. however I run in live mode (and dont't use virtualbox running in live mode)
[12:39] <theadmin> ironm: Oh, I see. I meant from within your existing (Debian?) OS
[12:41] <Cameron904> what would you guys recommend i use for IRC now? im using google chrome instead of firefox, so im not using chatzilla anymore.(well i am right now)
[12:41] <ironm> theadmin, the existing debian wheezy or squeeze is always live mode .. I use hard disk / raids only as containers for data
[12:41] <theadmin> ironm: Ah... wow. That's quite a mess xD
[12:41] <theadmin> Cameron904: irssi
[12:42] <ironm> theadmin, I am changing too often OSes ... *g*
[12:42] <Cameron904> theadmin: apt-get install irssi work?
[12:42] <theadmin> ironm: I see
[12:42] <MagicJ> http://pastebin.com/0gzKkdN9
[12:42] <theadmin> Cameron904: Should, of course. Given that it's in the repos...
[12:42] <theadmin> !info irssi
[12:42] <Lasers> theadmin: Printscreen your Issi? :o
[12:42] <MagicJ> ActionParsnip1: http://pastebin.com/0gzKkdN9
[12:42] <theadmin> Lasers: Me?
[12:43] <Lasers> theadmin: Sure. I need to work on my irssi theme. I'm curious.
[12:43] <theadmin> Lasers: Ah, the theme is just default xD
[12:43] <Lasers> :(
[12:44] <Lasers> Cameron904: If you want GUI -- Try xchat.   NOT xchat-gnome.
[12:44] <Cameron904> can i make my terminals stay on top by default?
[12:45] <Cameron904> Lasers: gui, isnt really important to me, /help is the only thing i need :)
[12:45] <theadmin> Cameron904: Heh, well irssi is great
[12:46] <Cameron904> and the less i use a GUI the better, cause cisco routers dont have a gui, and thats what i go to school for =/
[12:46] <Lasers> (or weechat).
[12:46] <theadmin> Cameron904: weechat is quite good too, except there's no Windows version so I stick to irssi (I like crossplatform software)
[12:46] <flecha> Hello! I am developing an App Indicator for Unity (those that appear in the menu bar). How do I make it binded to a hotkey?
[12:46] <Cameron904> theadmin: 10-4, i just don't feel like having to open up firefox when im using chrome, so anything is better than havin to do that lol
[12:48] <Lasers> flecha: I think you want Ubuntu Developer channel. I'm not sure what it is.
[12:49] <flecha> Lasers, what is the name of it?
[12:49] <theadmin> flecha: #ubuntu-dev
[12:49] <oCean> For working on Ubuntu, see #ubuntu-devel, for writing applications, see #ubuntu-app-devel
[12:49] <flecha> App Indicators are those icons that appear in the menu bar
[12:49] <flecha> ty two =)
[12:49] <theadmin> oCean: Ah, -devel. Sorry.
[12:50] <flecha> you 3 =P
[12:50] <Cameron_904> is it working?
[12:50] <flecha> Exclusive channel... =(
[12:50] <Cameron904> yes
[12:51] <theadmin> flecha: You should !register
[12:51] <Cameron_904> !register
[12:51] <flecha> hum
[12:52] <usr13> become inclusive
[12:53] <dr-willis> seen indicator apps written in python at askununtu.com :)
[12:53] <Cameron_904> quick question guys, when it says "blah blah@ipaddress has joined #ubuntu" is that their router ip, or a proxied?
[12:53] <dr-willis> Cameron_904:  yes to all.  can be any
[12:54] <Cameron_904> im going to rejoin, anyone mind telling me my ip?
[12:54] <usr13> Cameron_904: You can ignore all that.  (I do.)
[12:54] <dr-willis> Cameron_904:  whois yourself
[12:54] <usr13> ipchicken.com
[12:55] <usr13> we weren't fast enough.
[12:55] <dr-willis> tell him his ip is <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:55] <llutz> :D
[12:56] <josephseraos> hi everybody. I'm running VirtualBox under Ubuntu 10.04 and I cannot access webcam. Who could help me to access webcam from VirtualBox, please?
[12:56] <krux> lol
 : Have you installed the extension pack ?
[12:58] <ironm> Lasers, an example of a binary-hybrid iso image you can dd to an USB stick and boot from it:
[12:58] <htmlinprogress> ffemg :how to?
[12:58] <ironm> Lasers, rsync -avP rsync://www.it-infrastrukturen.ch/ftp/xen411-wheezy-kernel3-amd64-live-gnome-binary-hybrid.iso .
[12:59] <josephseraos> Atharva: Yes, I have installed Guest Additions
[12:59] <dr-willis> ironm:  rhats a planed feature fir ubuntu  simeday
[12:59] <BluesKaj> htmlinprogress, ffmpeg , perhaps?
 : which version of virtualbox are you using ?
[13:00] <Sidewinder1> htmlinprogress, I don't know the "how-to", but there's a GUI for it, I believe it's called winff.
[13:00] <ironm> dr-willis, do you mean binary-habrid.iso images? .. it would be great ! .. as debian wheezy supports it already
[13:01] <llutz> ironm: most other (important) distro do
[13:01] <htmlinprogress> yes,im trying to convert .flv
[13:01] <dr-willis> dding ubuntu iso to flash.. planed feature.. no idea when it wull get done
[13:01] <josephseraos> Atharva: VirtualBox OSE - version 3.1.6
[13:02] <usr13> http://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-doc.html
[13:02] <usr13> htmlinprogress: ^^^
[13:02] <ironm> yes llutz :) .. however not centos
[13:02] <llutz> "important" i said ironm :)
[13:02] <htmlinprogress> usr13, ?  whats that mean ? "^^^"
[13:02] <usr13> look up, line above
[13:03] <ironm> llutz, define "important" please? ;))
[13:03] <htmlinprogress> Sidewinder1,  thanks:J
[13:03] <Sidewinder1> NP.
[13:03] <Cameron904> blah, couldn't get irssi to work, so bleh.
[13:03] <usr13> Cameron904:  We found your IP address.  See: http://ipchicken.com/
[13:03] <ironm> dr-willis, dding the ubuntu image do an USB stick doesn't do the trick . you CAN'T boot and install from such ubuntu stick
[13:04] <llutz> CameronM: http://irssi.org/beginner/
[13:04] <dr-willis> ironm:  its a planned feature i said.   dd to flash does not work cirrect. i never said it did
 : I think You have to upgrade your VBox....
[13:05] <usr13> CameronM: http://irssi.org/documentation
[13:05] <CameronM> damn, i dont like that my router ip shows up on here..
[13:05] <ironm> thank you dr-willis
[13:05] <oCean> CameronM: you can ask for a cloak in #freenode channel
[13:05] <CameronM> i need to proxy my default internet connection =/
[13:05] <llutz> CameronM: ask for a cloak or use a proxy
[13:05] <dr-willis> CameronM:  not worth woerying about really.
[13:05] <CameronM> stupid static ip.
[13:05] <josephseraos> I've downloaded from synaptics. I'll try to download from VB's page
[13:06] <josephseraos> Th I've downloaded from synaptics. I'll try to download from VB's page
[13:06] <josephseraos> Atharva:  I've downloaded from synaptics. I'll try to download from VB's page
[13:06] <usr13> Don't often here people complain about having a static IP.
[13:06] <CameronM> ive had <IP_ADDRESS> for 8 years now, i don't think my lease will EVER end..
[13:06] <oCean> CameronM:   This channel is for ubuntu specific help only. Chat is in #ubuntu-offtopic, help on using the network is in #freenode
[13:06] <dr-willis> i get more random scans then there people in here. :)
 : ok..Also download the Extension Pack (Extension pack and Guest additions are 2 diffrent things)
[13:07] <CameronM> oh, mybad. got offtopic with my original questions lol =/ still cant get the rarcrack to work =/
[13:08] <Lasers> CameronM: How about telling us what you're trying to do?
[13:08] <oCean> CameronM: also, note that all illegal activity is offtopic. Just so you know
[13:08] <glebihan> Hello petulko_ and welcome to #ubuntu
[13:09] <josephseraos> Atharva, Thanks. Hey, another thing: Do you know how I do to know if my webcam is serial or usb?
[13:09] <CameronM> Lasers, oCean: was going through my megaupload account, and i have a file named sean.rar and its passworded, and i wonder what i did lol, cause sean is my best friend. and i have no idea what the password could have been.
[13:09] <glebihan> Hello trekkie1701c and welcome to #ubuntu
[13:09] <CameronM> so im breaking into my own file. not someone elses. no illegal activity here
[13:09] <oCean> glebihan: stop that please
[13:09] <glebihan> Hello IdleOne and welcome to #ubuntu
[13:09] <IdleOne> glebihan: please turn off that auto greet script
[13:10] <caravel> Help please ! Natty, fresh install, system freezes : either black screen (eg. while switching users), or just frozen screen (eg. while playing full screen video). In all cases, magic keys have no effects, network is down (no more ssh, nor ping). Any hint or idea please ?
[13:10] <Lasers> Hello bazhang and welcome to #ubuntu ;)
[13:10] <glebihan> sorry was testing an xchat plugin, dudn't realize it was running on all channels...
[13:11] <oCean> Lasers: stop that
[13:11] <usr13> caravel: Test your memory.    memtest
[13:11] <oCean> glebihan: np, thanks for removing it
[13:11] <CameronM> caravel: did you recently update your system and restart during the course that it was installing?
[13:11] <CameronM> caravel: i had that problem when i canceled the install before it finished, computer was going apesh*t on me.
[13:11] <bazhang> Lasers, thats enough nonsense please
[13:12] <josephseraos> How can I guess if my webcam is serial or usb, in my laptop?
[13:12] <bazhang> josephseraos, lspci lsusb for either
[13:12] <caravel> usr13: I did run memtest86+ much before asking for any help (many passes) as well as SeaTools twice (hard drive low level utility)
[13:12] <caravel> CameronM: no
[13:12] <caravel> These are all infos I could find http://pastebin.com/3VReNKuF / auth.log http://pastebin.com/FSn4idv2 / :1-slave.log http://pastebin.com/bde1MZy7 / Xorg.0.log http://pastebin.com/UUdyLmcP / ~/.xsessions-errors http://pastebin.com/Ncfhc1Px
 : Sry..I dont know abt that..
[13:12] <usr13> caravel:  How about heat sink and fan and thermal grease?
[13:13] <josephseraos> Atharva, Hey, Is necessary uninstall older version?
 : How are you upgrading ?? from .deb OR from .run file ?
[13:14] <caravel> usr13: well, in that case Natty would fail to trigger the fans to start with (all happens while PC is rather very silent, while its fans usually ake much noise)
[13:14] <caravel> *make
[13:14] <antihero> hello, I just rebooted my laptop and the keyboard and touchpad dont work
[13:14] <antihero> I thought it might be because of a udev rule file but I deleted said file and the problem persists
[13:15] <IdleOne> antihero: did you try rebooting after deleting the file?
[13:15] <antihero> IdleOne: YUeah
[13:15] <antihero> currently can only control the damn thing via SSH
[13:15] <antihero> and my mums laptop
[13:15] <antihero> the keyboard/mouse work in the console
[13:15] <antihero> but not in X
[13:16] <josephseraos> I'm downloading a .deb version from VirtualBox's website
[13:16] <josephseraos> Atharva:  I'm downloading a .deb version from VirtualBox's website
[13:16] <antihero> IdleOne: and there's a kb/mou configured in xorg.conf
[13:16] <ikonia> josephseraos: why are you doing that ?
[13:17] <antihero> I'll try rebooting again
[13:17] <damno> can I ask a ffmpeg related Q here?  their official channel seems to be mute
 : ok...then it would remove the previous version and then upgrade..But the installed VM's will not be changed.
[13:17] <bazhang> damno, whats the question
[13:18] <dr-willis> worse we can say is read their docs damno
[13:18] <damno> is there a param I should use if I dont want to record audio or should I just omit -acodec?
[13:18] <triplc> hi all
 : And to know about your serial no. of webcam try lsusb -v in terminal
[13:19] <damno> bazhang: is there a param I should use if I dont want to record audio or should I just omit -acodec?
[13:19] <kapcom01> hello, is this card supported on ubuntu? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390318531387&ssPageName=ADME:X:eRTM:AU:1123
[13:19] <ikonia> !hcl > kapcom01
[13:20] <triplc> how to "remove/reset" the menu? I installed Ubuntu while keeping the "home" folder of an old linux. Then i run 'rm -rf .gnome* .config* .kde*'. However i still see old menu item while clicking on "Applications"
[13:20] <dr-willis> damno:  i think i saw that in their faq on spliting audio/video once.
[13:20] <dr-willis> trip
[13:20] <dr-willis> triplc:  what old item
[13:21] <antihero> hello, rebooted and Keyboard and Mouse still do not work
[13:21] <CameronM> im following the directions on here, http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/04/howto-crack-rar-7z-and-zip-files-with.html , and when i get to "tar xvjf rarcrack-0.2.tar.bz2" it says no such file or directory
[13:21] <triplc> dr-willis: old items: "chromium" (which is not installed) and a lot of "wine" items
[13:21] <ikonia> CameronM: sorry, not helping you with that,
[13:21] <usr13> caravel: I find it interesting that it says Unable to load file '/etc/gdm/custom.conf  I don't know what that is all about, but may need to run gdmsetup or something.
[13:21] <dr-willis> CameronM:  check spelling of filename and your wieking dir
[13:22] <ikonia> CameronM: cracking security/encyprtion isn't something we support
[13:22] <CameronM> ikonia: its my file, not someone elses..
[13:22] <Gentoo64> of course it is
[13:22] <usr13> caravel: What video driver are you using?
[13:22] <ikonia> CameronM: it's not something we support
[13:22] <damno> dr-willis: I dont know why my vdo recording is stopping mid ways..  may be because the audio input device specified isn't right...   but I dont really need audio
[13:22] <usr13> caravel: Do you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
[13:22] <CameronM> Gentoo64: in all seriousness, it is, i passworded the .rar file probably 6-8 years ago, and i cant remember the password i used.
[13:23] <LjL> CameronM: that's because the file is not there to download
[13:23] <dr-willis> triplc:  wine stuff is in some.  sub dir.  no idea in the other. run alacarte perhaps and remive it
[13:23] <LjL> CameronM: wget returns a 404 (file not found) error
[13:23] <caravel> usr13: note: for these logs I was also running ssh -X to investogate stuff. Hopefully I just managed to obtain a fresh HANG  :) let me reset, and grab a new set of log files
[13:23] <Gentoo64> CameronM- do you have windows?
[13:23] <Gentoo64> and an nvidia card?
[13:23] <CameronM> Gentoo64: not at the house, i took windows outa this household, and yep nvid
[13:23] <dns53> CameronM there are password crackers for rar and zip files that brute force the password but i have not used them
[13:24] <Gentoo64> theres one called crark that uses nvidia cuda
[13:24] <Doodad> new to ubuntu, everything is running slower than it was in vista, feels like its running in a VM not direct... i suspected a virus/rootkit on vista, why i installed ubuntu, could a rootkit virtualise an installation of ubuntu and survive?
[13:24] <Gentoo64> does like millions a second brute force
[13:24] <antihero> anyone?
[13:24] <bazhang> !ot
[13:24] <triplc> dr-willis: okay... i run alacarte and successfully remove 'chromium'.. but not those 'wine' items
[13:24] <Gentoo64> Doodad- its very unlikely
[13:24] <theadmin> Doodad: No. Did you install Ubuntu via WUBI?
[13:24] <theadmin> Doodad: If so, there's your reason.
[13:24] <Doodad> via a CD
[13:24] <ikonia> Doodad: why do you suspect a rootkit ?
[13:24] <Gentoo64> because hes new to linux
[13:24] <Doodad> not even if it was a BIOS level rootkit
[13:24] <theadmin> Doodad: Well, did you boot from the CD? Or use the Windows installer?
[13:25] <ikonia> Doodad: a root kit is unlikley to decrease performance
[13:25] <Doodad> from the CD
[13:25] <theadmin> Doodad: Okay, good. You do have a swap partition, right?
[13:25] <Doodad> the rootkit would have entered the box via windows a while ago
[13:25] <ikonia> it's most likley the video card is not configured
[13:25] <Doodad> yes, swap as well as
[13:25] <ikonia> Doodad: when running ubuntu - your windows partition has no effect
[13:26] <Doodad> but a rootkit can be running above the OS right?
[13:26] <Doodad> both OS's
[13:26] <Gentoo64> Doodad- from my exerience, windows can feel snappier than linux on slower pcs
[13:26] <ikonia> Doodad: no
[13:26] <Doodad> virtualising both windows, and ubuntu
[13:26] <ikonia> Doodad: it's most likley your video card is just not configured correct
[13:26] <ikonia> Doodad: you're virtualising ???
[13:26] <Doodad> depending on what you load
[13:27] <ikonia> Doodad: why did you say it feels like it's running in a virtual machine.... it IS running in a virtual machine
[13:27] <Doodad> no, but isn't what a rootkit does, virtualise the OS so the OS cannot see its existence behind the scenes
[13:27] <usr13> Gentoo64: Depends on what version of MS Windows you are talking about.  Vista or Win7, no.   XP, or b4, maybe and yes.
[13:27] <ikonia> Doodad: you're not making any sense
[13:27] <Doodad> ikonia i am not virtualising
[13:27] <ikonia> Doodad: right - so please stop making statements you don't understand/incorrect
[13:27] <ikonia> Doodad: just explain the problem you are seeing
[13:27] <ikonia> factually
[13:27] <Gentoo64> usr13- windows xp yes, much snappier than xubuntu on my downstairs comp
[13:28] <Doodad> vista
[13:28] <Gentoo64> not tried 7 on it
[13:28] <SeventhDimension> is there a command that shows info about the cpu?
[13:28] <Gentoo64> SeventhDimension- cat /proc/cpuinfo
[13:28] <bazhang> Gentoo64, usr13 could we please get back on topic
[13:28] <usr13> Gentoo64: When you do, you will see.
[13:28] <ikonia> Doodad: vista is nothing to do with ubuntu - please state the ubuntu problem you are having
[13:28] <Gentoo64> bazhang- no i was trying to explain to him it could be that
[13:29] <Doodad> also, i am prepared to accept video drivers could be an issue, i am just asking about the nature of rootkits here and possibilities, i need to work out whether a complete wipe is necessary, including removing the bios battery
[13:29] <bazhang> Gentoo64, and venturing too far afield.
[13:29] <ikonia> Doodad: that is not an ubuntu issue - sorry
[13:29] <Doodad> ikonia: read up
[13:29] <bazhang> Doodad, no, not necessary, also not possible
[13:29] <Doodad> its possible it was dwemonstrated in 2009
[13:29] <dr-willis> remove battery - that is paranoid. :)
[13:30] <ikonia> bazhang: I've given up, this guy seems obssessed with a root kit he has no idea about
[13:30] <bazhang> ikonia, agreed
[13:30] <Gentoo64> Doodad- i think you're getting too paranoid coming from windows
[13:30] <ikonia> Doodad: this isn't an ubuntu issue - we are not going to support you discussing bios rootkits
[13:30] <Doodad> k
[13:30] <antihero> Any ideas why my mouse/keyboard are simply not working?
[13:30] <Sidewinder1> Doodad, You may wish to have a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=338
[13:30] <Doodad> feels a little like ikonia is out of depth here, so claims i dont understand what im talking about and to stfunoob
[13:31] <bazhang> Doodad, please stop
[13:32] <yeats> Doodad: it's just that you're seeing a performance issue and you're concluding that it's likely that you have a rootkit installed - that's very unlikely
[13:32] <Sidewinder1> ikonia, I don't think he got a chance to read the security threads that I gave him, on the forums. :-(
[13:33] <Sidewinder1> ikonia, No problem, thiugh. :-)]
[13:33] <Sidewinder1> though, even.
[13:34] <theadmin> Sidewinder1: That was a troll, I guess.
[13:34] <theadmin> Sidewinder1: He just wouldn't listen
[13:34] <ikonia> I really wouldn't worry - he's gone now
[13:37] <ubunta> Heloo Guys
[13:37] <ubunta> Need Help
[13:37] <ubunta> Here Is My problem
[13:37] <bazhang> ubunta, with what
[13:37] <szal> !enter | ubunta
[13:37] <Sidewinder1> theadmin, Perhaps, I have however seen many win folks that just don't "get" the diff. in security between *nix and win. I usually send them to that security discussion. It's all encompassing. :-)
[13:38] <ubunta> Sure bro ;)
[13:39] <theadmin> ubunta: Ask your question
[13:39] <ubunta> i have the busubox v13.3 inframs booted when i access into ubuntu 11.04 (also the recovery mode ... in RM it says make boot=argument) ...
[13:40] <theadmin> Sidewinder1: I see.
[13:40] <ubunta> i made a search they said : it was one of these probs * Disk damaged
[13:40] <ubunta>  * Update kernel was missing the mounting method
[13:40] <ubunta>  * Changes shoddy in "/ etc / fstab".
[13:40] <theadmin> Well, I'm off.
[13:40] <ubunta>  * Errors in the parameters that control the disk (sectors, ...)
[13:40] <Benkinooby> hi, i use firefox 3.6.18 and ubuntu 10.04 when opening several webistes with many pictures or flash stuff firefox get's incredible slow and unresponsive (even for closing tabs again) in the same time only 25% of my RAM and 60% of my CPU are consumed. my system reacts normally, but just firefox seems to stand on it's onw feet. anyone knows that problem and/or the reason or better a fix
[13:40] <dougl> Every time my ubuntu 10.10 screen saver comes on my compiz effects get turned off and my GLX dock (cairo dock with open GL) gets messed up... does anyone have any suggestions for these symptoms?
[13:41] <Gentoo64> dougl- disable the screensaver
[13:41] <dougl> Gentoo64, was thinking that... will my screen still blank?
[13:41] <Gentoo64> yes
[13:41] <dougl> Gentoo64, hey thans for the tip = I will try it
[13:42] <ubunta> Anyone For My probem With BusyBox13.3 ?
[13:43] <Sidewinder1> Benkinooby, I'm sorry I can't answer your question, as an aside, I'm using the exact FF ver and 10.04 with no lag problems. The only thing I might suggest is that you run "memtest" from boot and see if anything abnormal turns up.
[13:44] <valentinex> My sounds are not working with Intel 945 board builtin sound card
[13:44] <bazhang> !audio | valentinex please have a read
[13:44] <Benkinooby> Sidewinder1, i'll try that at chance... but other programs, with equal or more load, run w/o problems, or slow down the whole system... but firefox does neither use all cpu nor all ram and still is very slow... :(
[13:45] <bazhang> Benkinooby, got flashblock installed? worth a try
[13:45] <Benkinooby> bazhang, adblock adn noscript
[13:45] <Gentoo64> Benkinooby- i dont think its bad ram, that wont actually mkae things slow itll just error randomly
[13:46] <Benkinooby> bazhang, but sites w/o flash but lot's of pics are totally slow too
[13:46] <ShawnRisk> I am getting an error when I wakeup my laptop: over charge change on port 1 or port 2.  Any ideas on how to fix?
[13:46] <Sidewinder1> Benkinooby, If memtest works with no problems, you might back-up your bookmarks (and passwords), then completely remove FF; then reinstall.
[13:47] <pythonirc101> has anyone used clonezilla here?
[13:47] <Sidewinder1> Benkinooby, I have adblock plus and noscript as well.
[13:47] <Gentoo64> Benkinooby- do what Sidewinder1 said, just reinstall and remove all your old profiles etc
[13:47] <Benkinooby> Gentoo64, that's my thought too... but i am really confused by the abnormal behaviour of firefox.. so i'm ready to loko at everything
[13:47] <bazhang> pythonirc101, check their support forums.
[13:47] <ubunta> IF My problem With BusyBox13.3 Is unsolved Please Tell Me so i stop Searching ;) ;) ;)
[13:47] <raptor67682> Hello,
[13:48] <Benkinooby> Sidewinder1, Gentoo64 hm... ok... jsut for understanding, what could change? i'll get the same binaries
[13:48] <Gentoo64> Benkinooby- but removing your ff profile can solve all sorts of issues
[13:48] <yeats> ubunta: you should be getting an error message when you're thrown into BusyBox - are you getting one?
[13:48] <raptor67682> who knows how to make the rom work using HATARI of 	international_karate_+_(1988)(system_3)[cr_replicants]-atarist.zip  (you can google it to get), ? it says BUMP
[13:48] <Gentoo64> you dont need to reinstall just remove the profile
[13:48] <Sidewinder1> Benkinooby, I can't give you all of that; just try it; after backing-up. Can't hurt. :-)
[13:49] <ubunta> @yeats Nops ;) No Error Just the initframs console
[13:49] <tabakhase> installing windows to a empty partition, reboot wuth livecd, chroot, reinstall grub . should work like that without anny problems hm?
[13:49] <Benkinooby> Gentoo64, ok... so that would be ./mozilla/firefox/randomletters.default ?
[13:49] <ShawnRisk> any thoughts on my question?
[13:49] <Benkinooby> Gentoo64, Sidewinder1 ok... so that would be ./mozilla/firefox/randomletters.default ?
[13:50] <Gentoo64> Benkinooby- i think so yes. but i havent used ff in a long time actually
[13:50] <Sidewinder1> Benkinooby, Use Synaptic to completely remove rather than trying to delete files, IMHO.
[13:50] <yeats> ubunta: without more details about what's going on, there's not a lot of help anyone can provide - looks like you're aware of common reasons for getting put into BusyBox
[13:50] <SeventhDimension> Gentoo64: thanks
[13:51] <Benkinooby> Sidewinder1, ok.. for that i have to use purge istead of remove
[13:51] <Sidewinder1> Gentoo64, I don't mean to conflict with your advice. :-) I can only advise how I've done things that worked in the past.
[13:52] <fowl> wheres the config for GCC
[13:52] <Sidewinder1> Purge?
[13:52] <Gentoo64> Sidewinder1- sudo apt-get remove --purge firefox
[13:52] <Sidewinder1> Benkinooby, So, you're doing this from term. with apt-get?
[13:52] <Gentoo64> then delete all the profiles etc all firefox stuff
[13:52] <Benkinooby> Sidewinder1, remove only removes the files but leaves the configs... purge is total annihilation :)
[13:52] <Gentoo64> and reinstall
[13:52] <Benkinooby> Gentoo64, ok
[13:53] <ubunta> @yeats: this happened after a fsck ( with another linux distro in another partition
[13:53] <Gentoo64> purge wont remove everything
[13:53] <Benkinooby> ok
[13:53]  * Sidewinder1 Hangs his head; he doesn't use terminal (much) and loves Synaptic.
[13:53] <Benkinooby> Gentoo64, Sidewinder1 does one of you know at chance a program to monitor my graphic card use... like htop for my system?
[13:53] <krux> ew synaptic
[13:54] <ubunta> @yeats or maybe  disk check
[13:54] <yeats> ubunta: can you provide more details about what you did? step-by-step?
[13:54] <ubunta> Private please bro,
[13:54] <Gentoo64> Benkinooby- not sure actually
[13:54] <ubunta> ??
[13:54] <Sidewinder1> Synaptic=Idiot-proof. I plead guilty.
[13:54] <yeats> ubunta: I only work in the channel - sorry ;-)
[13:55]  * Sidewinder1 Loves Synaptic 'cause he has problems with syntax.
[13:55] <Gentoo64> Sidewinder1- nothing wrong with using synaptic
[13:56] <Gentoo64> :s
[13:56] <Sidewinder1> ;D
[13:56] <ubunta> @yeats i made an fsck or something that checks for disk sectors and all ... it was  going to take a very long time ... like it didn't want to stop checking sectors and all .. so i stopped it ! it was mainly for a problem with a colored screen when booting to the sgn in  (sometimes)
[13:57] <meyyappan> how to idm in ubuntu
[13:57] <meyyappan> install idm in ubuntu
[13:57] <yeats> ubunta: if you're multibooting (which is what it sounds like), can you boot into any of the other options?
[13:57] <bazhang> meyyappan, what is that
[13:58] <Sidewinder1> Gentoo64, Actually, I've done alot in terminal (good thing), but mostly copy-paste of commands fully defined and explained, in "the forums" (not necessairlly a bad thing, but...).
[13:58] <dr-willis> !info idm
[13:58] <Lasers> gdm?
[13:58] <Lasers> xdm? kdm?
[13:58] <yeats> ubunta: (and for future reference - don't stop a fsck or similar process ;-) )
[13:58] <Lasers> Oh wait. He must meant ldm?
[13:58] <ubunta> @yeats : i'm in a whole other partition but i can boot documents ( mount ) from the ubuntu disk
[13:59] <dr-willis> !info ldm
[13:59] <Gentoo64> Sidewinder1- it doesnt take long to learn the basic commands. you hardly even need to touch terminal for general use really
[13:59] <ubunta> @yeats : say sorry from me to ubuntu :(:(
[13:59] <fowl> wheres the config for GCC anybody know? anybody? trying to set things like -fPIC
[14:00] <caravel> Could anyone please drive me ? I've reproduced the hang but obviously don't know what I should be searching for in what log file :(
[14:00] <caravel> (seems like there isn't a single line logged)
[14:01] <caravel> (around the time of the hang, I mean)
[14:01] <Gentoo64> caravel- you could try dmesg
[14:01] <Gentoo64> but not sure if anything will come up for a hang
[14:01] <caravel> Gentoo64: started with it :/
[14:01] <Sidewinder1> caravel, Have you looked in /var/log?
[14:01] <Gentoo64> a "hang" wont always be logged
[14:01] <caravel> Sidewinder1: yeah :)
[14:01] <yeats> ubunta: if I were you, I would boot into a live CD (or another Linux distro on your machine if you have one) and run fsck again (and let it finish)
[14:01] <Janine> can anyone help me with this? http://pastebin.com/py00MRS9
[14:02] <ShawnRisk> I am getting an error when I wakeup my laptop: over charge change on port 1 or port 2. Any ideas on how to fix?
[14:02] <caravel> Could a graphic adapter issue, just hang the system without letting anything logged ?
[14:03] <Sidewinder1> caravel, Nvidia?
[14:03] <Benkinooby> Sidewinder1, Gentoo64 ok, i will purge and reinstall FF + make sure my profiles are deleted (+backed up) - thx for the hints... if it does not work, i'll report back... can't do it now... :(
[14:03] <tabakhase> hm, dualboot on a usb stick?
[14:03] <fowl> whats up, where are GCC options at in ubuntu? they wouldnt be in /etc named intuitively, no, not that, anyways i can't find it for dick squat can someone help

[14:04] <yeats> Janine: can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file?
[14:04] <Gentoo64> Benkinooby- i was looking for gpu monitor too only found one sort of for nvidia though
[14:04] <Sidewinder1> Benkinooby, Glad to've "hepped", hope it works out OK for you.
[14:04] <caravel> Sidewinder1: ati radeon
[14:04] <Gentoo64> Benkinooby- doesnt seem to be a proper one
[14:04] <caravel> Sidewinder1: R300 NF [Radeon 9600 TX]
[14:04] <Janine> yeats, ok
[14:05] <Sidewinder1> caravel, It might be a driver issue as you suggest; sorry I can't help further as I use Nvidia as it's supported better. :-(
[14:06] <theadmin> I'd know, X wouldn't even start recently with my quite old ATI card...
[14:06] <theadmin> :(

[14:08] <caravel> My question is : is there a way, I don't know, to lower the prio given to the whole damn graphical adapter thing, in order to ensure the system would remain stable even if that one is crewed ?

[14:09] <paolo> hi all, anyone knows how to fix a Windows Vista broken bcd from an Ubuntu LiveCD ?
[14:09] <MagicJ> I have a system that when I do an apt-get upgrade it seems to ork but fails to deal with the new kernel - the output is at: http://pastebin.com/0gzKkdN9 - any help much appreciated
[14:09] <Janine> yeats, how do I do it?
[14:09] <theadmin> paolo: Ain't possible, you needz a Vista recovery console or disk
[14:10] <fowl> yeats: that actually doesnt help me
[14:10] <caravel> fowl: repeating questions every 5 minutes is useless and annoys everyone. If someone knows the answer and have time to answer it, youll get a reply. Be patient if you want to stay around :)
[14:10] <paolo> sadly the pc is not mine and i ain't got no Vista recovery cd whatsoever .. :(
[14:11] <fowl> no it wnt caravel the channel moves too fast to get someone who knows what they're talking about without repeating yourself
[14:11] <yeats> Janine: then open Synaptic Package Manager, go to Settings -> Repositories, click on the Other Software tab and uncheck the 'ferramroberto' PPA entry
[14:11] <ubunta> @yeats : like fsck -l /dec/sda1
[14:11] <ubunta> ??
[14:11] <theadmin> fowl: Rules. Repeat once per, say, ten minutes. NOT once in five seconds.
[14:11] <thechef> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Input tells me that hotplugging a device causes its settings to be restored to defaults. What defaults? How can I adjust these defaults?
[14:11] <fowl> do any of you know where gcc settings are or not?
[14:11] <fowl> am i wasting my breath
[14:11] <yeats> Janine: do Alt-F2 and type 'gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list'

[14:12] <fowl> -march, etc
[14:13] <yeats> fowl: there is not a "settings" for gcc - just options, which are specified in the manual page afaik
[14:13] <WiCkD1> hello.
[14:13] <Janine> yeats, that did the trick. The icon disappeared straight away
[14:13] <theadmin> fowl: It's not Gentoo, you specify them on command line, we don't store them in files or whatever.
[14:13] <yeats> Janine: great - so you're all good now?
[14:13] <dr-willis> thats what make files and stuff are for. or yser soecific env settings
[14:14] <Janine> yeats, yea!
[14:14] <yeats> ubunta: I would try 'e2fsck -f /dev/sda1' - assuming that /dev/sda1 is where Ubuntu lives
[14:15] <theadmin> dr-willis: You *really* should try upgrading your Android if possible... Cause the latest definetly doesn't have this keyboard issue...
[14:15] <ubunta> @yeats : i think i made this not working .. is their a solution for like making it with inframs ?
[14:15] <fowl> the fact that i have to modify individual makefiles to work with your shoddy system
[14:15] <fowl> awesome.
[14:16] <dr-willis> theadmin:  im on the latest this phone has. and the ussue cimes and goes. u think it may be buffee related.

[14:16] <yeats> ubunta: if your system is that borked, I would recommend backing up your data and reinstalling - it's probably faster and easier if you're fairly new to this
[14:16] <theadmin> dr-willis: Ah, could be. Well I have no problems on 2.3.4, dunno :(
[14:17] <dr-willis> i think fowl has it backwards.. a make specified option would overise system settings
[14:17] <Sidewinder1> dr-willis, He's gone. :-)
[14:18] <dr-willis> i feel a great loss... not
[14:18] <theadmin> Oh great, cause I was about to follow his advice and /ignore him
[14:19] <oCean> dr-willis: theadmin, let's stay on topic ok?
[14:19] <dr-willis> you ignored his ignore!
[14:19] <Sidewinder1> dr-willis, Gotta love folks who make a totally negative comment, then run away, before the ban.

[14:21] <Hackwar> hi folks, I'm thinking about installing my own server for our media-agency and I wanted to use ubuntu-server. I'm not a complete newbie, but also not a professional. The server is supposed to be an intranet server. is there anything, especially security related, that I need to look at?
[14:22] <yeats> !dual boot | ubunta
[14:22] <dr-willis> Hackwar:  is it serving over the internet or just the local lan?
[14:22] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, methinks you need to lighten up a little
[14:22] <yeats> !install | ubunta
[14:22] <IdleOne> Hackwar: if the server has no connection to the outside world, no, except maybe locking the server room door?
[14:22] <theadmin> o_o... Factoids can contain... spaces? Well this is new to me xD
[14:23] <luite> Hackwar: it depends on what services you run of course, and how much you trust your coworkers :p
[14:23] <josephseraos_> hi everybody. I'm running VirtualBox under Ubuntu 10.04 and I cannot access webcam. Who could help me to access webcam from VirtualBox, please?
[14:23] <Hackwar> the server is going to be an intranet server, so no direct connection to the outside world
[14:23] <IdleOne> Hackwar: you might want to ask in #ubuntu-server also
[14:23] <Hackwar> it will be behind a firewall

[14:31] <BluesKaj> seems the OT cops are really trolling today

[14:31] <BritneySex91> hey guys! ;)
[14:32] <ShawnRisk> I am getting an error when I wakeup my laptop: over charge change on port 1 or port 2. Any ideas on how to fix?
[14:33] <BluesKaj> ShawnRisk, sorry I don't understand
[14:34] <ShawnRisk> when I wakeup my laptop from sleep I get that error, it can be either port 1 or port 2
[14:35] <pacoveles> hi!
[14:36] <Nashenas> Does anyone know what would keep me from being able to move my windows? I made some changes in compiz config settings manager, and I changed them back, but I still can't drag any windows
[14:36] <ShawnRisk> BluesKaj: no ideas?
[14:37] <chenthu> guys, how to allow or block a particular port?
[14:37] <IdleOne> Nashenas: restart compiz and see if it still does it
[14:37] <Ir0nman> hi guys anyone good with grub2 that can help me with my multi-boot?
[14:37] <Ir0nman> i really screwed it up I can only get ubuntu loaded
[14:37] <Nashenas> IdleOne, I've restarted my desktop and I still can't move them
[14:38] <BluesKaj> ShawnRisk, nope  Idon't know what you mean by port 1 or port2 ..the ports I know about are networking ports
[14:39] <BluesKaj> chenthu, normally you can block ports on you router
[14:40] <Sidewinder1> Ir0nman, I'm no expert, I use grub legacy but you might try sudo update-grub.
[14:40] <Nashenas> IdleOne, I got it. Somehow the movewindow extension had been disabled
[14:41] <Ir0nman> sudo update-grub doesnt find my win xp partition and windows 7 partition doesnt boot
[14:42] <Ir0nman> http://www.pastebin.cc/index.php?show=79
[14:42] <ShawnRisk> ok
[14:42] <Sidewinder1> Ir0nman, If 7 doesn't boot, you may need to use a win CD, fixmbr, then sudo update-grub. Just a thought.
[14:42] <BluesKaj> Ir0nman, try holding down the shift key after the bios scrn , or change the default timeout from 0 to a larger number of secs that grub appears
[14:43] <BluesKaj> in etc/default /grub

[15:06] <newbie22> I am starting the process of installing ubuntu on a dell PC that has windows XP on it. I want to have a dual boot system.
[15:06] <yeats> !dual boot | newbie22
[15:06] <newbie22> do I take the default install from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download  ??
[15:06] <newbie22> or http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer
[15:07] <S4nD3r> Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, next april ??
[15:07] <theadmin> newbie22: NO, don't use Wubi unless you want a broken system
[15:07] <theadmin> S4nD3r: Yes.
[15:07] <yeats> newbie22: for a true dual boot, use the first link
[15:07] <theadmin> S4nD3r: It's year.month
[15:07] <S4nD3r> Great.
[15:08] <sage_> hey Im looking for a good web page that tells me how to play games on Ubuntu
[15:08] <S4nD3r> It will solve error like "Either the lower file is not in a valid eCryptfs format, or the key could not be retrieved. Plaintext passthrough mode is not enabled; returning -EIO"
[15:08] <newbie22> theadmin: thanks, I did that.  Downloaded the iso.image and then burn the disk.
[15:08] <AntY_> A quick question: which kernel version is the latest that a regular Ubuntu-user (not developer) should use?
[15:08] <theadmin> sage_: "how to play games"? Do you mean "how to run Windows applications, e.g. games"?
[15:08] <sage_> steam is giving me some trouble
[15:08] <sage_> i mean steam
[15:08] <theadmin> !wine | sage_
[15:08] <yeats> AntY_: whatever is packaged with the version you're using ;-)
[15:09] <newbie22> theadmin: It boots from the CD, but stalls and just shows me the Ubuntu screen for over 20 mins
[15:09] <theadmin> newbie22: No good, sounds like it doesn't like your hardware
[15:09] <sage_> Thanks alot ill go there now
[15:09] <yeats> newbie22: did you verify the image before burning the disk?
[15:09] <newbie22> yeats: how do I verify the image.
[15:10] <yeats> !md5sum | newbie22
[15:10] <newbie22> theadmin: that what I thought so, I tried to download debian, but there it seems like you need to download more than one disk image
[15:11] <yeats> newbie22: you would just need CD1
[15:11] <newbie22> yeats: OK
[15:11] <theadmin> newbie22: Debian is too confusing for newbies
[15:11] <newbie22> yeats: I will restart the download..
[15:12] <newbie22> theadmin: it seems that way
[15:12] <yeats> newbie22: Ubuntu is a good "first" distro (though I started with Debian and lived to tell the tale ;-) )
[15:13] <sage_> oh one question... do I have to set up compatibility with all the games on steam or not?
[15:14] <theadmin> sage_: That goes to #winehq, as well.
[15:14] <sage_> oh ok sorry i will to there now :D
[15:15] <sage_> #winehq
[15:15] <theadmin> sage_: Type: /join #winehq
[15:15] <sage_> thanks lol
[15:16] <sage_> i need some help playing tf2 on ubuntu with steam
[15:16] <sage_> hello

[15:18] <sage_> lol i was on the wrong page sorry again

[15:25] <groktar> i'm having trouble setting up keepalived.  it's not binding to my virtual ip at all. i did the net.ipv4.ip_nonlocal_bind=1 thing in my /etc/sysctl.conf file.

[15:25] <groktar> here's my config and relevant outputs: http://paste.ubuntu.com/665065/
[15:25] <oCean> six88six: dpkg -L packagename will show all installed files
[15:26] <groktar> ideas anyone?
[15:26] <maalac> marto: ntfs
[15:26] <groktar> ubuntu 11.04 server
[15:26] <marto> maalac how did you encrypt it?
[15:26] <six88six> oCean, ah. excellent. thank you
[15:26] <maalac> marto: using the cryptsetup
[15:26] <Ramses> oCean: are you sure?

[15:29] <ElTimo> I keep running into a problem with wubi. Whenever I try to run it from a CD, it feels the need to redownload the iso.
[15:30] <ElTimo> I have limited bandwidth, so this simply isn't an option for me.
[15:30] <edbian> ElTimo: I strongly suggest you install traditionally (non-wubi)
[15:30] <ElTimo> edbian: I'm hesitant to install normally. This laptop has Optimus, and I want to see if I can get bumblebee to work properly before I do anything permanent.
[15:31] <edbian> ElTimo: I have no idea what Optimus and bumblebee is.  Try running the liveCD to see if they work?
[15:31] <groktar> i think i answered my question
[15:32] <BluesKaj> ElTimo, wubi is supposed to be run from your hdd , wubi installs ubuntu to it so you just choose it at the menu
[15:32] <ElTimo> edbian: I tried to do it, but ubuntu hangs at the loading screen.
[15:32] <edbian> ElTimo: Is this a liveCD or a liveUSB  Do you get any error messages when / before it hangs.
[15:32] <ElTimo> BluesKaj: I figured since it's included on the LiveCD it would use the local files though.
[15:32] <edbian> ElTimo: Press escape during boot to see more info
[15:32] <ElTimo> edbian: LiveUSB, and no.
[15:33] <edbian> ElTimo: Can you describe the hang?
[15:33] <ElTimo> edbian: Oh I was trying to switch VT's lol. Hold on.
[15:33] <edbian> ElTimo: That was a good thought too
[15:33] <ElTimo> brb
[15:34] <mongy> maalac, its probably windows doesnt recognise the cryptsetup way of encryption.. you might need to use something more crss platform like truecrypt
[15:34] <maalac> mongy: is that a good encryption ?
[15:35] <mongy> maalac, from what ive heard... its as good as cryptsetup
[15:35] <ElTimo> Ok I'm back.
[15:35] <theadmin> maalac: AES, Serpent, Twofish. Can use passwords and keyfiles.
[15:35] <edbian> ElTimo: hello
[15:35] <maalac> mongy: great! thanks a lot ..just bought a new 1TB Seagate External ..want to encrypt it ...:)
[15:35] <theadmin> maalac: TrueCrypt is great, really.
[15:35] <ElTimo> edbian: Rebooting my laptop now.
[15:36] <theadmin> maalac: 1TB might take a huge while though
[15:36] <edbian> ElTimo: k
[15:36] <edbian> ElTimo: We can talk while we work on the target machine?
[15:36] <ElTimo> edbian: I have two laptops ;)
[15:37] <edbian> ElTimo: excellent
[15:37] <maalac> theadmin: mongy: thanks a lot ...:)
[15:37] <ElTimo> edbian: Now that's odd...
[15:37] <edbian> ElTimo: it's booting?
[15:37] <ElTimo> edbian: This time it didn't even show the bootsplash.
[15:37] <ElTimo> edbian: Gave me a couple errors though
[15:38] <edbian> ElTimo: mhmmm, I take it you didn't do anything differently.  What errors?
[15:38] <ElTimo> Hold on, I'll paste them

[15:40] <hoopjumping> Hi, I got a host of issues with my OS so far that I hopefully can fix. 1: Last week i was asking about fstab, which I could make neither head nor tail of. I wanted to use it to tell ubuntu that my music folder is on another hard drive it doesn't automount. People said "Oh use fstab to point it to it." but I didn't find the tutorials far too complex and told me more information than I needed. I found that I could do it through
[15:40] <hoopjumping> banshee, by using a menu (shock horror that not everything is done in command line. I know, heritic I am) to point it to the correct folder. It now loads up my music on startup. My immediate question is this: THe unity sidebar on the left is very annoying when I'm zoomed in and trying to read a webpage for it to pop up all the time. How can I move it to the top of the bottom?
[15:40] <ElTimo> edbian: http://pastebin.com/UuNLRX0p
[15:40] <Grey_Loki> Hi, i'm running the latest Ubuntu Server (11.04), fully patched. It seems when I leave rtorrent running (with rtorrentweb, i'm not sure if that's a contributing factor or not), after a certain period of time, the machine stops responding to ssh login requests. It still responds to ping, and the apache server is still running (it serves web requests to its IP), I just can't login through SSH. Where can I look to start diagn
[15:40] <edbian> hoopjumping: Have you read this one?  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab
[15:40] <ElTimo> edbian: Oh and I forgot to mention that the fan starts running like crazy once it hangs.
[15:41] <ikonia> hoopjumping: you'll get much better responses if you just ask your question rather htan a 10 line ranting statement
[15:41] <Keegans> hoopjumping have you tried making a link from the current folder to the drive?
[15:41] <edbian> ElTimo: You have intel graphics?
[15:41] <hoopjumping> edbian: yes, that's the tutorial I was given, the one I found too confusuing. Keegans: I fixed it.
[15:41] <S4nD3r_> It's upgraded in http://pastebin.com/kBHHkkxx
[15:42] <edbian> hoopjumping: oh btw, you cannot move the unity bar right now
[15:42] <ElTimo> edbian: Yeah. Intel and Nvidia. That's what Optimus is. It switches video cards depending on load.
[15:42] <Keegans> oh well nvm
[15:42] <ThePendulum> Greetings. Can someone please inform why exactly Gnome Classic is unsupported in Ubuntu 11.10, even though they know many users truly dislike this? Thank you!
[15:42] <makara> politics
[15:42] <hoopjumping> For those complaining of TL:DR. Edbian: Can I disable it then? I have the same ubuntu version on a laptop with a mirage s3 graphics chipset, and that uses a gnome menu with the bars on the top.
[15:42] <Keegans> ThePendulum: its the future?
[15:42] <ElTimo> edbian: I have whatever's attached to the Core i7 and a Geforce 525m
[15:43] <ElTimo> edbian: Oh. Escape doesn't do anything.
[15:43] <edbian> hoopjumping: log out, click your name, change the session, log in
[15:43] <edbian> ElTimo: Well escape makes the splash go away.  Do the num / caps lock keys make the lights change (proof themachine is not frozen)
[15:44] <ThePendulum> Keegans: Not sure if the future lays in an ugly interface
[15:44] <TehAndrewRyan> hey
[15:44] <TehAndrewRyan> I have a slight problem
[15:44] <Keegans> ThePendulum: I agree but since Apple is going that way we all have to
[15:44] <ElTimo> edbian: That's a major problem. I don't have num/caps lock lights so I can't tell if it's panicking.
[15:44] <Keegans> ThePendulum: I use the classic style as well so I agree with you wholeheartedly
[15:44] <TehAndrewRyan> I've installed Steam on my Windows installation. Can I somehow launch Steam with Wine? It won't let me change to "Run this as a program"
[15:44] <edbian> ElTimo: ok.  Hang on
[15:45] <makara> Hi. Would really appreciate if someone could advise what my next investigative step might be. Problem detailed here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11145836#post11145836
[15:45] <TehAndrewRyan> Are there like a bash script or such?
[15:45] <edbian> ElTimo: Is the screen showing those errors and just stuck there?
[15:45] <hoopjumping> Edbian: Thanks, I'll do that in a bit. I don't mind the menu, but it's position is intrusive. I have issues, and I'm wondering if anyone else has this: Copy and paste keyboard shortcuts do not always work. If In firefox, if I have highlighted text, it'll not show up unless I right click and use copy instead. I would prefer to press ctrl+C as the right click menu takes five-ten seconds to load
[15:45] <TehAndrewRyan> I'm using a bash script to run my Minecraft server since it won't let me change permissions either, similar solution here?
[15:45] <ElTimo> TehAndrewRyan: You can make a script that has `wine /path/to/steam.exe ` somewhere in it, I think.
[15:45] <ikonia> makara: explain the issue please ?
[15:45] <ThePendulum> Keegans: I noticed Windows 8 looks similar.  What's left?
[15:46] <eMyller> for the code poets: ppa:emyller/sublime-text-2 :)
[15:46] <ElTimo> edbian: It's showing the purple booting screen and doing a whole lot of nothing.
[15:46] <Keegans> ThePendulum: dont use Gnome
[15:46] <Grey_Loki> ThePendulum: perhaps an alternative window manager?

[15:46] <TehAndrewRyan> ElTimo; a more detailed way?
[15:46] <serene> I am using GIMP, but I closed the window on the right side. How to call out it?
[15:46] <ikonia> makara: ok - first question, is the d-link device supported under ubuntu ?
[15:46] <ThePendulum> oCean: I'm sorry...?
[15:46] <ElTimo> Keegans: There's always awesome.
[15:46] <Keegans> ElTimo: ??
[15:47] <TehAndrewRyan> ElTimo: or actually, I think I got it working
[15:47] <makara> ikonia: how would I know? it picks up the wireless networks in the area when I plug it in
[15:47] <ThePendulum> serene: You can use Windows --> Recently Closed Docks
[15:47]  * eMyller is a kde user, and recommends it to ThePendulum
[15:47] <ikonia> makara: that's a reasonable test,
[15:47] <Ramses> yes
[15:47] <ElTimo> Keegans: If you're worried about your desktop looking like Win8, you could use awesome wm.
[15:47] <perlsyntax> Anyone use playonlinux in here?
[15:47] <edbian> ElTimo: Is this a dell? mac?
[15:47] <ikonia> makara: so if it picksup wireless networks, can it see the one you want to connect to ?
[15:47] <Grey_Loki> This could be related to my issue - when I create a new bash prompt (in a new screen, using the byobu..wrapper?), i'm given this prompt: loki@lokiserver:(unreachable)/$
[15:47] <ElTimo> edbian: Dell Vostro 3750
[15:47] <serene> ThePendulum, HoHo,  thanks a lot~
