[16:40] <bumblebird> hi how do I give a user ability CAP_NET_ADMIN for new processes? is this possible?
[16:41] <`mOOse`> welp, grub hosed the mbr on my hd - now I can't boot into my windows dualboot menu - anybody got any ideas?
[16:41] <Flare-Laptop> `mOOse`: You don't need the winblows boot loader, GRUB does that for you
[16:41] <`mOOse`> running xubuntu on a usb flashdrive
[16:42] <`mOOse`> on a laptop....2 partitions on that hd with xp on C and win7 on G
[16:42] <`mOOse`> yea uh well
[16:42] <arand> `mOOse`: Get a win7 CD..
[16:42] <Flare-Laptop> !enter | `mOOse`
[16:42] <`mOOse`> I didn't want it to "see" the usb drive because it's not always there
[16:42] <thedancingdeer> how do i do quick drag and drop on any window from gnome-panel. it takes a second's lag before opening the second window!
[16:42] <JulioNeto> Hi all
[16:43] <llutz> bumblebird: using setcap from libcap2-bin?
[16:43] <`mOOse`> arand - then what?
[16:43] <h00k> `mOOse`: Also, I've seen some backup/security applications on Windows overwrite the Grub2 menu, check to see if this an issue if it keeps happening.
[16:43] <yokilla> Flare-Laptop: Thanks that helps a lot!
[16:43] <twig11> WHERE does Rhythmbox keep its temporary files? Every time I start it it tries to download a huge video podcast, even after I've deleted the feed and renamed the destination folder. How can I fix this?
[16:43] <Flare-Laptop> thedancingdeer: Um alt+tab works :)
[16:43] <kaens> is there a way to tell whether or not a package is a meta package, other than grepping for "meta" in the description?
[16:43] <kellopes> hexa-:  i just did it.. still doenst play
[16:43] <JulioNeto> Is it possible to sync Evolution's To-do lists and Memos with Ubuntu One or anyother service?
[16:43] <`mOOse`> naw h00k ...this time it was totally my fault
[16:43] <arand> `mOOse`: You will have to install the mbr specifically to the usb, in the last section of the setup (for next time you install...)
[16:43] <Flare-Laptop> !attitude | yokilla
[16:43] <bumblebird> llutz thanks will look it up
[16:43] <yokilla> Flare-Laptop: Want me to send u money for your tip by paypal...
[16:44] <arand> `mOOse`: There are a bootrec command that can be used to rewrite the bootmgr mbr..
[16:44] <thedancingdeer> Flare-Laptop: no! alt+tab doesn't work when i am dragging any object from one window to other window which is say minimized or not focused. on my ubuntu compiz box it doesn't

[16:44] <perlsyntax> Does anyone know how to update ro perl 5.10.1?
[16:44] <arand> `mOOse`: start the recovery option from the w7 cd.
[16:45] <`mOOse`> this was a triviality when I installed suse on the flashdrive - for some reason when installing xubuntu alternative iso grub just wouldn't install to the / dir....it kept telling me that superblocks were not reliable and it wasn't recommended blahblahblah
[16:45] <perlsyntax> i mean in apt-get
[16:45] <`mOOse`> ok arand
[16:45] <`mOOse`> good idear ;)

[16:47] <glopal> I'm trying to create a shortcut (with an icon) on my desktop to an application I made. I looked at one already on my desktop and it's called a "desktop configuration file" and all it does is run a shell script to open the app. How do I go about making one of these? Or, more importantly, how to I assign a custom icon to a file.

[16:53] <Epper> Hi all, I need to install an applicatin from source but I'm scared about the fact that this application could lead to my server to be unstable.
[16:53] <h00k> arand: he left.
[16:53] <goodtime> ill stand in line with my prob
[16:53] <MeteoricVenom> it keeps saying No File or Directory
[16:53] <h00k> !ask | goodtime
[16:54] <Epper> Can using checkinstall, instead of make install, be a solution? So removing the application if something is not OK anymore?
[16:54] <arand> h00k: meh
[16:54] <llutz> Epper: it makes deinstallation easier
[16:54] <goodtime> ok i  need to instal my graffics ati
[16:54] <h00k> arand: pretty sure he had a bad drive, anyway.
[16:54] <Flare-Laptop> Epper: I doubt that'll happen. I'm running my server perfectly with some source built stuff and its running right now :)
[16:54] <h00k> !ati | goodtime
[16:54] <goodtime> ty
[16:54] <h00k> goodtime: hope it helps!
[16:55] <Epper> thanks llutz, I'm asking myself if checkinstall does also backups overwritten files...
[16:55] <Epper> does it?
[16:55] <llutz> Epper: i'm not sure, i guess not
[16:55] <perlsyntax> is it easy to upgrade perl without hurt anything?
[16:56] <Flare-Laptop> Epper: You could just use checkinstall to make a deb file out of it
[16:56] <MeteoricVenom> i have downloaded java VM to Downloads, its a .bin file, i am having troubles installing it
[16:56] <twig11> h00k: doesn't work. Like I said, I
[16:56] <Flare-Laptop> MeteoricVenom: you don't need to do that you can install java like this: sudo apt-get install install default-jre
[16:56] <Flare-Laptop> oops
[16:56] <celthunder> meteor sudo sh the bin
[16:57] <Flare-Laptop> sudo apt-get install default-jre*
[16:57] <MeteoricVenom> do i need to do to the directory ?
[16:57] <Epper> Flare-Laptop, my fear is that the "make install" may replace an important file. So I was asking myself if checkinstall could replace that file with the original one when removing the checkinstall-ed application
[16:57] <yokilla> Any girls?
[16:57] <twig11> h00k: I've deleted the feed, deleted the destination file, renamed the destination directory, to no avail.
[16:57] <yokilla> I'm lonely as hell..
[16:57] <celthunder> yes or absolute path
[16:57] <Flare-Laptop> !ot | yokilla

[17:00] <nic> well 9.10!! just behaving odd! the screen locks up and then blanks as tho its reloading.! after about 30 sec and all the panel icons reappear it seems fine..
[17:00] <twig11> h00k: there must be a temporary file somewhere that remembers that Rhythmbox had a partial download, so when I relaunch, it just re-creates the destination directory it was downloading to, and starts downloading again. I can't find any information on where this file might be.
[17:00] <lucky4linux> @nic i get the same thing.. check your monitor
[17:00] <nic> labtop

[17:02] <lucky4linux> firefox 3.6 in ubuntu 8.10 is slow ... but the default version of firefox in 8.10 is fast..
[17:02] <h00k> twig11: other than that, ask again, someone might know

[17:02] <biri> what does that mean? do i have to try finding a libjack-dev package which depends on 0.118 version?
[17:02] <celthunder> ff 3.7 is faster cause it's multihreaded

[17:09] <usamahashimi>  what will happen if the torrent client is showing error that one of the tracker is not found, will the torrent client be able to complete the download or will it fail to complete the download?
[17:09] <linkiduu> nvm.. its a hidden dir :P
[17:09] <rob_p> linkiduu: You place your nautilus script(s) in that directory and they are accessible with a right-click.
[17:09] <ebeard> I run gutsy and just discovered that the bind9 package has a serious security vulnerability.  What is the best way to go about updating the bind9 package to the latest version?  I've used apt-get but that version (9.4.1-p1.1) is still vulnerable.
[17:09] <rob_p> linkiduu: Oh, I see what you were asking.  :-)
[17:09] <twig11> h00k: Thanks for the tip! I found an entry for the podcast in .local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml and deleted it. I don't know if that was the right way to go about it, but the problem seems to be gone.
[17:10] <rob_p> linkiduu: Looks like you got it figured out.
[17:10] <goodtime> ok im jammed up here with all these commands that seem to only fail
[17:10] <linkiduu> rob_p .. yes :) if I place a script there ..will gnome show it it right click ?
[17:11] <rob_p> linkiduu: Yes.  It *should*.
[17:11] <sontek> Hey, there is a bug in Ubuntu 9.10 where the default keyboard language always resets, Ive even removed all but the Layout I want and it still brings back the other one that it defaults to that is wrong
[17:11] <person> Why can I su to root?
[17:11] <sontek> does anyone know where the config for that is so I can do it manually?
[17:12] <sontek> im sick of having to reset my keyboard layout everytime I startup
[17:12] <jophish> If I wanted to find where a certain partition was mounted to store in a variable in a shell script. I can use "mount | grep /dev/mmcblk1p1" to get the line where it is mounted
[17:12] <jophish> but how can I put the third column into a variable?
[17:12] <sontek> jophish: use awk
[17:12] <alejandro> bla
[17:13] <gini> hi der guyz.....
[17:13] <jophish> Ok sontek I will give that a try
[17:13] <jophish> thanks
[17:13] <biri> no luck

[17:13] <CAPcap> I installed KDE and later removed it. I now have a kubuntu loading screen on boot and shutdown. how do i get rid of it?
[17:13] <linkiduu> rob_p :) thanks again.. the script is working after I gave to chmod +x
[17:13] <rob_p> I haven't written a nautilus script for a few years but as I recall, once you have made sure it executes without errors, made it executable, and navigated to the nautilus-scripts directory with nautilus (so that it knows the new script exists), it will begin showing up with a right-click.
[17:14] <person> Why can I su to root? I thought su didn't work in Ubuntu. Do I have a serious security problem?
[17:14] <Der> HELP, somebody help, ahhhh naaah, i dont have audio, audio is gone aaah, pliz somebody?
[17:14] <rob_p> linkiduu: Yes, it does need to have the execute bit set.
[17:15] <Liquid-Silence> any one here had issues getting 1650x1050 on a lcd monitor
[17:15] <lekefly> Guys.. im making a CAT-5 cable.. and i have no clue wether or not to make a "crossed" or not cable.. what should i go with?
[17:15] <Liquid-Silence> the nvidia settings only shows 1360x1078
[17:15] <Liquid-Silence> err
[17:15] <Liquid-Silence> 768
[17:15] <Liquid-Silence> any ideas?
[17:16] <sontek> jophish: mount |grep /dev/sda5 |awk '{print $3}'
[17:16] <rob_p> lekefly: Depends on your switch/router.  Some of them autosense, some don't.
[17:16] <sontek> jophish: something like that will work
[17:16] <DocMAX> anyone using conky and compiz together?
[17:16] <jophish> sontek, could also be done with cut :)
[17:16] <goodtime> Liquid-Silence: i cant run that high

[17:16] <rob_p> lekefly: Actually, I meant NIC, not switch/router.
[17:16] <goodtime> i need my graffics driver first thoe
[17:16] <Liquid-Silence> I hate the propriatary drivers
[17:17] <Liquid-Silence> mine works fine aswell
[17:17] <linkiduu> rob_p any chance that I can make a nice icon for the script ?
[17:17] <Liquid-Silence> my mates driver does not
[17:17] <lekefly> Allright.. so what im look for is this: Standard, Straight-Through Wiring (both ends are the same)
[17:17] <Liquid-Silence> :(
[17:17] <rob_p> lekefly: For *most* applications, you'll use a straight through.
[17:17] <lekefly> allright
[17:17] <lekefly> ill go with that then:p
[17:17] <lekefly> And thats B Standard?
[17:17] <Liquid-Silence> so is there still a way to force modes for the nvidia driver?
[17:17] <h00k> lekefly: yes
[17:17] <rob_p> linkiduu: It's possible, I'd guess.  I never bothered with it so not sure.
[17:17] <lekefly> Thanks!

[17:23] <xfact> Dan, Have you changed or tried to change any settings on your audio manager?
[17:23] <danbhfive> !puregnome | CAPcap
[17:23] <arand> meowsus: k9copy & k3b is ok.
[17:24] <Der> xfact, i installed userful multiplier, it didnt work for me, i uninstalled it, and thats when audio problems appeared
[17:24] <xfact> Dan, Which version of Ubuntu you use?
[17:24] <lyle> where's the location of the default splash screen in xubuntu?
[17:24] <CAPcap> danbhfive, i did that. the screen is still there thats why im asking
[17:24] <danbhfive> ah, I see, sorry
[17:25] <Der> xfact, r u there?, em are you going to help me? =[
[17:25] <verb3k> is there a basic tutorial on patching source code using the patch command?
[17:25] <meowsus> arand: i'll check them out
[17:25] <xfact> Dan, see my PM
[17:25] <meowsus> arand: thanks!
[17:26] <danbhfive> verb3k: patch -p1 < the_patch_file
[17:26] <`mOOse`> I'm frustrated
[17:26] <`mOOse`> grr
[17:26] <verb3k> danbhfive, what if the patch affects a lot of files?
[17:26] <`mOOse`> I *knew* I shouldn't have my HD in my laptop when I did this install
[17:26] <CAPcap> !xubuntu
[17:26] <CAPcap> lame no info
[17:26] <xover> is there a plugin for rhythbox that allows m4a playback?
[17:27] <danbhfive> CAPcap: oh yeah, maybe try !usplash or !xsplash, but in a pm to ubottu
[17:27] <verb3k> danbhfive,  any idea?
[17:28] <danbhfive> verb3k: patch -p1 --dry-run < file      the --dry-run will do it without any changes.  Just try and see if it works
[17:28] <CAPcap> danbhfive, i know how to get rid of lxde and kde, if install xfce (xubuntu) do you know how to get rid of that?
[17:28] <verb3k> danbhfive, I see, thanks
[17:29] <danbhfive> CAPcap: use aptitude
[17:29] <`mOOse`> xover, that's the url - about half way down the page
[17:30] <xover> `mOOse`: whre mate?
[17:31] <`mOOse`> in your msgs
[17:31] <`mOOse`> I sent it to you private cause I was too lazy to use tinyurl
[17:31] <lyle> where's the default splash screen located at in xubuntu?
[17:31] <`mOOse`> install the ubuntu (kubuntu) (Xubuntu) restrircted extras
[17:32] <toehio> I have a ubuntu 8.1 server with sshd. I have a friend running ubuntu 9.1 who needs a UDP proxy. Would the easiest thing for him to do be "ssh user@host -d 3128" and then under "Network Proxy Preferences" set the SOCKS proxy to "localhost:3128" and then click "Apply system-wide"? Would that work for UDP ports too?
[17:32] <`mOOse`> there's links for whichever you're using
[17:33] <photocopy> !users
[17:34] <photocopy> users don't share themes, or application startup settings, or gnome-panel settings, or anything like that, right?
[17:35] <freshmeat_> Guys, how difficult is it to run the original Linux port of Doom in a modern Linux system like Ubuntu?
[17:35] <ugur> Hi all
[17:36] <freshmeat_> What the hell is going on?
[17:36] <lein> when i try and type in my password at login, 3 characters are displayed in the box
[17:36] <xover> `mOOse`: the issue is that i cannot import it to rhymbox to save it to my ipod
[17:36] <ugur> My kubuntu machine does not trigger run level 5 so run level scripts do not work but when i trigger run level with init command they all work
[17:37] <erUSUL> photocopy: right
[17:37] <`mOOse`> xover, it doesn't recognise the file format?
[17:37] <genii> !runlevels | ugur
[17:37] <xover> `mOOse`: no idea, it plays but doesnt show the file in the interface or the track data
[17:37] <genii> ugur: eg: Use runlevel 2
[17:38] <ugur> genii: I know how run levels work. My problem is that run level itself is not triggered
[17:38] <ugur> genii: when i run init 5 all init.d script run normally
[17:39] <genii> ugur: Runlevel 5 is never reached normally on ubuntu because default multi-user runlevel is 2, as described by the bot, above
[17:39] <`mOOse`> xover, have you tried any of the rhythmbox forums?
[17:40] <xover> `mOOse`: no worries, i installed soundconvertor to convert to mp3, works like a charm
[17:41] <lnx4ver> ugur see /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf for your default runlevel
[17:41] <ugur> genii:I have all the required links in rc2.d also
[17:41] <lein> when i try and type in my password at login, 3 characters are displayed in the box. i.e.  i type "bob" output is " bbbooobbb" .  any ideas?
[17:41] <`mOOse`> :-
[17:41] <`mOOse`> )
[17:42] <lnx4ver> lein did you set anything for mouse and keyboard in your xorg.conf?
[17:43] <lein> lnx4ver : yes
[17:43] <arooni-mobile> my laptop with win7 and ubuntu 9.10 64 bit dual boot; wont boot into ubuntu.  i'm stuck at the grub command line.  can i salvage this somehow or do i have to reinstall?
[17:43] <lnx4ver> thats probably why you have problem
[17:43] <erUSUL> arooni-mobile: depends; what was the grub error? if any?
[17:43] <ugur> 1nx4ver: it says env DEFAULT_RUNLEVEL=2
[17:44] <arooni-mobile> erUSUL, it flashed too quickly; i cant see it now;  what can i do
[17:44] <lein> lnx4ver : if i don't i can't even use my keyboard or touchpad
[17:44] <lnx4ver> lein ok
[17:44] <erUSUL> arooni-mobile: without any info is hard to say. you should try to get the grub error message.
[17:45] <arooni-mobile> erUSUL, i'm at the command line; what can i do to see it
[17:45] <SpaceGhostC2C> Does anyone need some help? And morning erUSUL.
[17:45] <arooni-mobile> erUSUL, grub command line
[17:45] <`mOOse`> grub hosed my dualboot xp/win7 install last night
[17:45] <erUSUL> arooni-mobile: did you do something lately that could have cused this ? kernel update? parition resizing? anything out of normal using the laptop?
[17:45] <`mOOse`> I'm still trying to figure out how to get it back!
[17:45] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, is the windows install still there?
[17:45] <arooni-mobile> erUSUL, i restarted ubuntu when the cursor seemed to freeze (keyboard worked)
[17:46] <riccardo> hi
[17:46] <erUSUL> SpaceGhostC2C: morning to you ; afternoon here ;)
[17:46] <DVA5912> Whats the most advanced speech recognition software for ubuntu at this time?
[17:46] <riccardo> should i upgrate to jaunty?=
[17:46] <`mOOse`> SpaceGhostC2C, yes, XP on C and win7 on G
[17:46] <`mOOse`> they're still there
[17:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> erUSUL, I hope you're having a very delightful evening. I'm hopping on to get my supporting fix :)
[17:46] <riccardo> with gnome my 9200 ati doesn't work
[17:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, so the installs are still present? try sudo update-grub
[17:47] <erUSUL> arooni-mobile: reboot and try to see the error
[17:47] <`mOOse`> I did SpaceGhostC2C
[17:47] <DVA5912> !speech
[17:47] <`mOOse`> (many times!)
[17:47] <riccardo> what's the problem with my 9200 ati?
[17:47] <arooni-mobile> erUSUL, it goes by sooo fast
[17:47] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, hmm. Can you mount said installs in ubuntu?
[17:47] <erUSUL> riccardo: should work well with the radeon open source driver
[17:47] <`mOOse`> then when I go to the boot screen I see 2 entries for the win7 partition, and neither of them work - It's like grub doesn't recognise the xp partition at all
[17:48] <`mOOse`> yes
[17:48] <scootsm> Hello, I'm having a weird issue with Ubuntu.  I ran the updates and restarted, and now my password does not work.  So, I restarted with the recovery console and reset it, then booted into the GUI.  I restarted again, and suddenly my password doesn't work.... again.  What would cause this?
[17:48] <`mOOse`> I can
[17:48] <`mOOse`> they're mounted now
[17:48] <leider> hola
[17:48] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, hmm. Give me about 1 minute to go research BRB friend.
[17:48] <`mOOse`> thanks SpaceGhostC2C  :)
[17:48] <erUSUL> arooni-mobile: another option is to try the instructions here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2#Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD
[17:49] <xiushen> i
[17:49] <scootsm> OH MY GOD.    It's not letting me use shift to make a capital letter?
[17:49] <scootsm> Jesus christ
[17:49] <riccardo> what's the problem with my 9200 ati?
[17:49] <erUSUL> arooni-mobile: also if you boot into the livecd you can check the ubuntu paritions for errors
[17:49] <h00k> !language | scootsm
[17:49] <erUSUL> !details | riccardo
[17:49] <arooni-mobile> erUSUL, looks like "No WILDRV"
[17:49] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, before we do anything, please backip the menu.list with this cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.old
[17:50] <CAPcap> #xubuntu
[17:50] <riccardo> erUSUL: i'm in low graphic mode with my 9200 ati and now only fluxbox works
[17:50] <emghazal> In a fresh installation of Ubuntu, is there a firewall installed by default? and where can I edit its configuration?
[17:50] <ugur> any help with run level problem?
[17:50] <vikashagrawal199> how to have a mac theme in ubuntu 9.10
[17:50] <h00k> !firewall | emghazal
[17:50] <SpaceGhostC2C> emghazal, there is a firewall, but nothing is being blocked.
[17:51] <`mOOse`> ok SpaceGhostC2C
[17:51] <`mOOse`> hang on
[17:51] <Der> 1 thing i hate about ubuntu, is solving one problem iis impossible, you have a problem, reinstall the whole system....best solution
[17:51] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, I'm here.
[17:51] <Der> 1 thing i hate about ubuntu, is solving one problem iis impossible, you have a problem, reinstall the whole system....bexst solution
[17:51] <`mOOse`> hmm
[17:51] <SpaceGhostC2C> Der, I'm quite sure you're incorrect and even more so offtopic.
[17:51] <`mOOse`> no such file or directory
[17:51] <arooni-mobile> my laptop with win7 and ubuntu 9.10 64 bit dual boot; wont boot into ubuntu.  i'm stuck at the grub command line.  can i salvage this somehow or do i have to reinstall? error on grub says "NO WUBILDR" and than i get  a command prompt of sh:grub>
[17:52] <SpaceGhostC2C> arooni-mobile, I'd assume it's a wubi install. You're lacking a file called WUBILDR. As for repairing, I'm not quite sure what the nature of said file is.
[17:52] <underdog5004> hello, I have a crontab entry that executes a script that does some getmail magic. When I use the script manually, it works, but crontab is not automatically executing the script. What is going on here? I made sure the user was added to the crontab group and restarted my computer to ensure the changes applied.
[17:53] <arooni-mobile> SpaceGhostC2C, whats a wubi install
[17:53] <erUSUL> Der: not true; that's maybe what you do. but it is not what everybody does
[17:53] <`mOOse`> SpaceGhostC2C, I just scanned the grub directory and there is no menu.lst in there
[17:53] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C, if so then why cant a simple reconfiguring a sound card fix a problem
[17:53] <SpaceGhostC2C> arooni-mobile, did you possibly install ubuntu inside windows?
[17:53] <Der> erUSUL, if so then why cant a simple reconfiguring a sound card fix a problem
[17:53] <erUSUL> grub2 does not have menu.lst
[17:53] <arooni-mobile> SpaceGhostC2C, yes i think thats what happened
[17:53] <vikashagrawal199> grub2 has menu.cfg
[17:54] <SpaceGhostC2C> Der, because the configuration isn't created in dpkg. That's for your system. What is the real problem mate?
[17:54] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, they are right. Locate menu.cfg and back it up.
[17:54] <vikashagrawal199> so if u want youcan copy the text inside it and create  a new doc with same name and edit the file
[17:54] <`mOOse`> yes, menu.cfg (which is overwritten by grub and they warn you that any changes you make to it will be overwritten by grub)
[17:54] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C, i cant hear any sound any more, but on a live system, i can, so i guess theres a problem on my BoX
[17:54] <`mOOse`> ok
[17:55] <erUSUL> vikashagrawal199: `mOOse` is grub.cfg but that's a generated file not to be edited.
[17:55] <erUSUL> `mOOse`: /etc/default/grub /etc/grub.d/
[17:55] <`mOOse`> ok erUSUL thanks
[17:55] <SpaceGhostC2C> Der, doubtful. What happened prior to the sound failing?
[17:56] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, erUSUL is a pro, you'd to yourself a favor to listen to his sage wisdom :)
[17:56] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C, i installed  userful multiplier [hated it] uninstalled it...
[17:57] <SpaceGhostC2C> Der, Hmm, I don't know what that is mate. what is the name of the package for your sound drivers?
[17:58] <twig11> I get poor sound with lots of static out of my rear audio output jack with Karmic running on a Dell gx520, but the sound is fine out of the front headphone jack. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this.
[17:58] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C, alsa i guess
[17:58] <AndyGraybeal> how do i change my hostname and make it persistent?
[17:58] <h00k> !hostname | AndyGraybeal
[17:58] <AndyGraybeal> thank you h00k
[17:58] <h00k> AndyGraybeal: noprob!
[17:58] <SpaceGhostC2C> Der, you can always sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa, but I'm not sure if it will break anything else. It might not.
[17:58] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C, its a built in analog HD intel bbull* thing, comes in motherboard for optiplex 755
[17:58] <SpaceGhostC2C> h00k, saves the day again!
[17:58]  * h00k facepalms
[17:59] <h00k> no, no, no
[17:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> !cookie | h00k
[17:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> haha!
[17:59] <h00k> I just help when I can
[17:59] <murlidhar> hi all what is the default theme set that karmic is using ? i mean i need the package name to install the ubuntu themes..
[17:59] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C, dosent that mean no more sound
[17:59] <`mOOse`> ok thanks SpaceGhostC2C
[17:59] <murlidhar> default ubuntu themes
[17:59] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C, but then what?
[17:59] <h00k> murlidhar: I believe it's "Human"
[17:59] <`mOOse`> how to I back up a dir again?
[17:59] <`mOOse`> do
[17:59] <SpaceGhostC2C> Der, you simply reinstall the package.
[17:59] <murlidhar> h00k: ty
[17:59] <murlidhar> :)
[18:00] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, there are lots of ways. do you just want to copy it? Tar it up?
[18:00] <Der> do i need  a reboot after purge
[18:00] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C, do i need  a reboot after purge
[18:00] <`mOOse`> SpaceGhostC2C, for this exercise I was going to backup grub.d
[18:00] <Trek> Der, you shouldn't need to reboot after purging a package
[18:00] <`mOOse`> (which is a dir)
[18:00] <Trek> Der, at least I don't think so
[18:01] <vikashagrawal199> erusul
[18:01] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C, i purged now intall again i guess, any reboot needed?
[18:01] <SpaceGhostC2C> Der, you should never have to reboot for installing or removing a package.
[18:01] <vikashagrawal199> u can edit it to change boot loading time
[18:01] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C, ok then i guess am done but still no sound
[18:01] <Trek> Der: reboot to make sure your sound drivers reload
[18:02] <Trek> Der: reboot to make sure your sound drivers reload after reinstal *
[18:02] <Der> Trek, will do, and come back, brb
[18:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> Trek, does he actually need the reboot though? Can't he simply reload gdm and modprobe?
[18:02] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, you can try this. (one sec)
[18:02] <underdog5004> reboots are very infrequent with linux :)
[18:02] <Akkernight> how do I uninstall something I installed with "make install" ?
[18:02] <Trek> SpaceGhostC2C: i usually reboot after messing with the sound drivers, as if I mess with them, they go *poof* until I reboot
[18:03] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, try this link to do what you need. http://www.metatitan.com/linux/5/how-to-tar-untar-from-the-command-line.html
[18:03] <Akkernight> on Ubuntu
[18:03] <underdog5004> any ideas about why my crontab isn't working? I've had this issue before with ubuntu, can't remember how to fix it
[18:03] <SpaceGhostC2C> Akkernight, you'd need to manually remove the files.
[18:03] <underdog5004> btw, changed the scheduling to * * * * *
[18:03] <SpaceGhostC2C> underdog5004, we need moar info.
[18:03] <Akkernight> SpaceGhostC2C, any way of seeing what files were installed?
[18:03] <underdog5004> hello, I have a crontab entry that executes a script that does some getmail magic. When I use the script manually, it works, but crontab is not automatically executing the script. What is going on here? I made sure the user was added to the crontab group and restarted my computer to ensure the changes applied.
[18:03] <underdog5004> I can post the crontab line if applicable
[18:03] <SpaceGhostC2C> Akkernight, try timestamps maybe to see what newly created files were made.
[18:04] <underdog5004> * * * * * mail sh /var/mail/getmail.sh
[18:04] <Santiago> hello
[18:04] <Santiago> can anybody help me? I have a little problem
[18:04] <`mOOse`> thanks SpaceGhostC2C
[18:04] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C, still after reboot with failiure
[18:04] <mguy> Santiago: Ask your question if someone can help they will try
[18:04] <Der> Trek, still with failiure
[18:04] <`mOOse`> erUSUL, do you think you can help me sort out this grub problem?
[18:04] <Trek> SpaceGhostC2C & Der:  Is it at all possible we're looking at hardware issues instead of driver issues?
[18:04] <`mOOse`> I'd really appreciate it!
[18:05] <SpaceGhostC2C> Trek, not if the livecd has sound through the sound card and his install doesn't.
[18:05] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, i mentioned it was working b4, and it works with windows and ubuntu live cd
[18:05] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, I'd personally ask erUSUL he's a genius.
[18:05] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, i guess that rukes out h/w problems
[18:05] <blip-> hi all,  i'm upgrading the version of Ubuntu and wanted to delete(rename) all dot directories to start fresh.  What's a quick way to loop through all directories beggining with . and renaming them by adding a suffix ?   (Bash)    thanks
[18:05] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, I still use grub-legacy.
[18:05] <`mOOse`> hehe - I think I just did :-)
[18:06] <Trek> interesting, never seen that happen, Der & SpaceGhostC2C.  It does rule out hardware issues.
[18:06] <`mOOse`> this is 1.97 beta4
[18:06] <Santiago> ok, I have a removable disk of about 250Gb, and I've just formatted it in Ext2 format. with Gparted, now the problem is that I'm not able to copy anything into it. Even create a folder is impossible and I don't know the reason
[18:06] <Trek> Der && SpaceGhostC2C: we confirmed the correct drivers were installed by the livecd?
[18:06] <`mOOse`> which is what came with xubuntu
[18:06] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, that's grub2.
[18:06] <`mOOse`> yes
[18:06] <SpaceGhostC2C> Trek, they had worked prior to some program he installed, but didn't like and removed.
[18:06] <`mOOse`> grub2
[18:06] <frederic185> Hi i'm using a wireless broadband device and i'v had a problem whereby it connects to the internet but my system doesn't recognise it as the internet connection occasionally it does work however so I am just relying on luck at the moment?
[18:06] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, i didnt quite get ur last Qn
[18:06] <blakkheim> Santiago: cp -v file /your/disk
[18:06] <`mOOse`> (which has put 2 out now)
[18:07] <SpaceGhostC2C> Der, we haven't asked any, we're helping eachother troubleshoot.
[18:07] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, oh ok =P
[18:07] <Santiago> blakkheim, I don't understand, you mean use the terminal?
[18:07] <blakkheim> Santiago: yes
[18:07] <`mOOse`> I'm guessing erUSUL is busy hehe
[18:07]  * `mOOse` sighs
[18:08] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, he'll be back, he always comes back. That's why we love him :)
[18:08] <underdog5004> I may have fixed the problem. Apparently, cron needs cron.deny in /etc to be empty for everyone to use crontab, but ubuntu doesn't come with any cron.deny file, so it restricts cron use to just root. Not ideal :/
[18:08] <Trek> Der && SpaceGhostC2C: have we confirmed that the program he installed didn't mess with which drivers are loaded?  this happened to be on several occasiopns, different programs, different system configs, but same basic concept
[18:08] <Trek> wow, I can't type...
[18:08] <`mOOse`> :)))
[18:08] <pweezy> blip-: you'd prob be better off just doing `mkdir blah && mv .* blah/`
[18:08] <Santiago> blakkheim, what does it mean? the option -v on the comand cp?
[18:08] <blakkheim> Santiago: yes
[18:08] <SpaceGhostC2C> Trek, He also tried a dpkg-reconfigure on the sucker too.
[18:09] <Santiago> because I think it's a permission problem
[18:09] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, thats why my basic qn from the beginning was, how can i reconfigure my sound card, like the drivers, and configs...
[18:09] <SpaceGhostC2C> pweezy, I don't think that's what he needs. He needs to use a combination of globbing and find and rm.
[18:09] <nikki_> hi
[18:09] <Trek> Der && SpaceGhostC2C: interesting that after a dpkg-reconfigure and purge/reinstall the issue remains...
[18:09] <SpaceGhostC2C> Der, we're trying to figure those things out. Give us another second
[18:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> !hi | nikki_
[18:10] <blip-> pweezy: oh right that's much easier :)    Do I need to close down all my programs first ?   I see things like .qt   .mozilla etc..
[18:10] <frederic185> Hi i'm using a wireless broadband device and i'v had a problem whereby it connects to the internet but my system doesn't recognise it as the internet connection occasionally it does work however so I am just relying on luck at the moment?
[18:10] <Trek> Der && SpaceGhostC2C: sorry I send to both, I use the previous-message keymapping on my IRC client
[18:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> blip-, you want to remove all your user settings?
[18:10] <SpaceGhostC2C> Trek, that's fine with me.
[18:11] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, like when ubuntu 1st installed, how did it configure my sound card, cant i do that proccess again?
[18:11] <Trek> Der && SpaceGhostC2C: Short of a repair install, i'm not sure if there's a way to get rid of this error...
[18:11] <Trek> Der && SpaceGhostC2C: but I don't normally recommend such an attempt, as you lose your data...
[18:11] <SpaceGhostC2C> Der, there is a possibility, if you can find the alsa config files, that you can copy them to your hard disk from the livecd. Boot from the livecd.
[18:11] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, ah no pliz, i use this system 4 my develoment work
[18:12] <Trek> Der, read spaceghost's message
[18:12] <frederic185> Can someone  help me with my network manager problem sometimes when I restart and it connects via my wireless modem when i go to use firefox it says not connected
[18:12] <`mOOse`> SpaceGhostC2C, hehe - well that tutorial on the command to back up a dir doesn't work :-)
[18:12] <`mOOse`> tar -cvf backup.tar somefolder/  <--- no go
[18:12] <mguy> frederic185: Instead of repeating here, try posting on ubuntuforums.org
[18:12] <jellow> frederic185: Can you ping google from terminal , "ping www.google.com"?
[18:12] <SpaceGhostC2C> Der, my thought is to boot from the livecd, locate all sound related configs and copy them to your hard drive in the proper locations. Backup the files before you move any new ones on.
[18:13] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, what command did you use exactly?
[18:13] <`mOOse`> sudo tar -cvf grub.d_bak.tar grub.d/  <--- that was mine
[18:13] <SpaceGhostC2C> frederic185, you don't have to go anywhere else.
[18:13] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, sounds great but there must be manyy files in many places =S
[18:13] <Santiago> blakkheim, doing an example, if I do this: cp -v /home/santiago/blabla.pdf /dev/sdc1 . it's ok?
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> yo yo yo
[18:13] <frederic185> jellow: i can do it now but before I wasn't able to, i was relying on luck by continuously restarting the computer until it eventually worked
[18:13] <blakkheim> Santiago: no, you want to copy to the mountpoint, not the raw device
[18:13] <underdog5004> nope, haven't fixed the problem :(
[18:13] <SpaceGhostC2C> frederic185, it's possible that your router or gateway isn't connected to the internet. Not sure.
[18:14] <blip-> SpaceGhostC2C: hmm maybe not all but i'll be doing an upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 and thought it was a safe move
[18:14] <SpaceGhostC2C> ActionParsnip, morning fella.
[18:14] <frederic185> SpaceGhostC2C: it's a 3g wireless modem
[18:14] <armence> hello all, I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy using netboot on my laptop and the update manager is telling me I am up to date which is obviously a lie... How can I fix that?
[18:14] <blip-> SpaceGhostC2C: I mean a good idea to delete them and recreate
[18:14] <`mOOse`> oooo!!! I was IN the dir - I had to back out one dir to /etc/
[18:14] <`mOOse`> doh
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> SpaceGhostC2C, 6:15pm morning  ;)
[18:14] <blakkheim> armence: sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude full-upgrade
[18:14] <Santiago> blakkheim, I don't understand
[18:14] <SpaceGhostC2C> blip-, everything should be good from the upgrade, no need to remove any home folder files.
[18:14] <jellow> frederic185: Not a fix but next time try sudo /etc/init.d/network restart
[18:14] <SpaceGhostC2C> ActionParsnip, that's what I meant.
[18:14] <blakkheim> Santiago: /dev/sdc is the actual device, you need to mount it to your filesystem before you can copy stuff to it
[18:15] <SpaceGhostC2C> ActionParsnip, do yo know much about sound drivers and configs of the like and such?
[18:15] <blakkheim> Santiago: sudo mkdir /mnt/test; sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/test
[18:15] <frederic185> jellow: thanks i'll write it down
[18:15] <SpaceGhostC2C> blakkheim, you actually need to mount the partition, not the whole device :)
[18:15] <pweezy> does anyone know why fglrx would give me a flashing tty7 instead of launching X on startup?
[18:15] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C && Trek, there must be many files in many places =S how do i find them all?
[18:15] <blakkheim> SpaceGhostC2C: see my previous message
[18:15] <blip-> SpaceGhostC2C: ah ok.  I guess i'll just go ahead and upgrade
[18:15] <SpaceGhostC2C> Der, not quite sure mate.
[18:15] <blip-> thanks SpaceGhostC2C
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> SpaceGhostC2C, zero. I have never had to mess with sound. always worked 100% OOTB
[18:15] <TomV_415> I've lost many hours trying to upgrade my dual boot laptop to a larger hard drive -- I think I'm close to getting it working, but I could use some help.  I've detailed the situation in the following pastebin http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d69f6c7c0
[18:16] <armence> Also, I am on a relatively old laptop using GNOME... I heard XFCE is more lightweight... Should I expect a significant performance improvement if I switched? Would I loose much functionality?
[18:16] <Santiago> so blakkheim , it's /media/disk
[18:16] <Santiago> ?
[18:16] <TomV_415> any help would be much appreciated
[18:16] <SpaceGhostC2C> blakkheim, I see now.
[18:16] <mguy> armence: No, and no
[18:16] <blakkheim> Santiago: that is a valid mount point, yes
[18:16] <Arabus> hey, I want to install a bootable ubuntu live image on a harddrive so i can then attach the harddrive to a different computer - is there a way to do that and if, how?
[18:16] <Der> hmmn, still leaves my conclusio ryt about ubuntu, i hate this situation...=[
[18:16] <vikashagrawal199> what is wireshark????
[18:16] <armence> mguy: thanks
[18:16] <SpaceGhostC2C> ActionParsnip, we're in the same boat.
[18:16] <SpaceGhostC2C> !wireshark
[18:16] <SpaceGhostC2C> ubottu has no idea, just like me.
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> Santiago,to write to a partition you must first mount it, you cannot put data onto raw partitions like /dev/sdc1 etc etc
[18:16] <pweezy> wireshark is a wireless sniffing app
[18:16] <pweezy> erm s/wireless/network
[18:16] <jellow> frederic185: Make sure it not problems with your I.S.P , You said was only wifi which had problems?
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> SpaceGhostC2C,I don't buy creative garbage, zero issues :D
[18:16] <mguy> Arabus: You can do it with a USB stick it should be the same for a USB hard drive. You will want to create a persistant file that you can save your data in
[18:17] <SpaceGhostC2C> ActionParsnip, you can too, it's just not a safe practice :)
[18:17] <blakkheim> !info wireshark > vikashagrawal199
[18:17] <mguy> armence: How old is your laptop?
[18:17] <SpaceGhostC2C> ActionParsnip, good point.
[18:17] <blakkheim> guess that doesn't work
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> SpaceGhostC2C,i prefer to advise users on safe practices ;)
[18:17] <mguy> armence: Better question what CPU, MHz, RAM, and graphics card
[18:17] <frederic185> jellow: no it's not a problem with the isp or the modem it's a problem with ubuntu not seeing the internet connection on the modem
[18:17] <Arabus> mguy problem is following, i can not boot from usb - the computer will only boot from its hard drive - so i have to use the hard drive as boot device
[18:17] <Santiago> yes I know that... I connect the disk to the computer, and it mount the partition.. so the problems is tha nautilus don't allows me to write into the disk..but the partition is mounted
[18:18] <terkel> Hmm.. how do I fix this error? http://paste-it.net/private/d4cc0b2/ <- raiddevice 1 is removed? :s
[18:18] <Der> what do i do my audio is totally messed up, i need it to work again.....
[18:18] <Der> ?
[18:18] <SpaceGhostC2C> ActionParsnip, I guess that's sound advice :)
[18:18] <frederic185> jellow: i just don't know how to say hey here is my internet connection ubuntu use it
[18:18] <vikashagrawal199> if my server has close certain ports is it possible to open them
[18:18] <vikashagrawal199> plz blakkhein info on wireshatk
[18:18] <mguy> Arabus: Can you boot to USB from a menu or commandline in GRUB
[18:18] <`mOOse`> erUSUL?
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> jellow, can you ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[18:18] <blakkheim> !info wireshark
[18:18] <TomV_415> Anyone have time to check out my grub2 mbr problems?  (http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d69f6c7c0 )
[18:18] <SpaceGhostC2C> Der, backup your current install and den try a nice and awesome reinstall :(
[18:18] <phoenixz> There is this command to instead of make install, create a package of a project I just compiled, but I forgot what the name of tha command is.. who can help me?
[18:18] <vikashagrawal199> plz blakkhein info on wireshark
[18:18] <ActionParsnip> frederic185, route is useful, not sure on the syntax though
[18:18] <bastidrazor> phoenixz: checkinstall
[18:18] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C, see it all leads up to that
[18:18] <blakkheim> phoenixz: checkinstall
[18:19] <armence> mguy: Intel Pentium M 1Ghz, 512 Mb ram, duno how to see what the graphics card is
[18:19] <phoenixz> that one! thanks!
[18:19] <jellow> ActionParsnip: its Up , 64 bytes from <IP_ADDRESS>: icmp_seq=1 ttl=245 time=29.6 ms
[18:19] <SpaceGhostC2C> vikashagrawal199, if the ports are closed, and you aren't an admin or have the permissions to open them, then not really.
[18:19] <frederic185> ActionParsnip: should I look at the man pages for it next time it happens perhaps?
[18:19] <SpaceGhostC2C> vikashagrawal199, you can, however try a reverse ssh tunnel.
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> armence, sudo lshw -C display    will tell you
[18:19] <Der> SpaceGhostC2C, my opinion ubuntu as desktop shudnt exist, as a server is amazing but thats IT
[18:19] <bodacydo> Is anyone from India? I need help to understand a sentence. Please help. :)
[18:19] <haxori> witam
[18:19] <mguy> armence: Probably intel graphics. That shouldn't be too bad of a setup. They do make smaller and lighter linux distributions. What functionality do you require?
[18:19] <SpaceGhostC2C> Der, thank goodness you're not the SADFL then, huh?
[18:20] <blakkheim> Der: just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it shouldn't exist
[18:20] <cartagena34> alguien  de españa
[18:20] <SpaceGhostC2C> bodacydo, you can pm me. I have a friend who can translate.
[18:20] <blakkheim> !es | cartagena34
[18:20] <Arabus> mguy actually I do not know - but I would have to boot up to grub then i.e. at leas have grub installed on the hard drive
[18:20] <armence> mguy: Mostly, I do development and I like having workspaces and otherwise, just watching movies, listening to music, standard office stuff
[18:20] <vikashagrawal199> spaceghost i have heard if i do anything with ssh and go wrong i will land in deep trouble
[18:20] <cartagena34> oks
[18:20] <TomV_415> Der:What desktop do you prefer then?
[18:20] <SpaceGhostC2C> vikashagrawal199, who from? Who said this?
[18:20] <armence> mguy It's a 33Mhz  Intel Graphics card
[18:20] <Der> blakkheim, well iits not my only opinion, no one i've seen ever using ubuntu, that cud have a problem solved without reinstalling, even ppl, who buy support
[18:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> TomV_415, I prefer LXDE myself :)
[18:21] <mguy> You could try it, I have it running on a Pentium III 1GHz, it's a little pokey but it's better than GNOME. You might want to try Fluxbox or like I said something like ArchLinux or DSL
[18:21] <vikashagrawal199> my friends there is some sh key like dat
[18:21] <armence> mguy: oh... OK, thanks
[18:21] <vikashagrawal199> main hun india se
[18:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> Der, well, I've not reinstalled ubuntu in about 3 years, same time as my lfs distro. I've fixed every error that comes my way.
[18:21] <blakkheim> Der: cool story bro
[18:21] <haxori> i need help
[18:21] <haxori>  diod cam
[18:21] <vikashagrawal199> puchlo agar kuch puchna hai
[18:21] <SpaceGhostC2C> vikashagrawal199, as long as you have the sshclient on the server you can do it.
[18:22] <Santiago> ActionParsnip,  yes I know that... I connect the disk to the computer, and it mount the partition.. so the problems is tha nautilus don't allows me to write into the disk..but the partition is mounted
[18:22] <vikashagrawal199> how?????????
[18:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> blakkheim, that wasn't very nice, bro.
[18:22] <vikashagrawal199> please help
[18:22] <`mOOse`> I have gotten driven-by
[18:22] <TomV_415> I'm dealing with a bit of a night mare, trying to get linux to boot on my new drive.
[18:22] <vikashagrawal199> ???
[18:22] <Der> TomV_415, i think macs just deserve to dominate the market
[18:22] <blakkheim> !please | vikashagrawal199
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> Santiago, use beter mount options in fstab or command line when you mount it. I'm guessing its an ntfs partition
[18:22] <armence> OK, back to my original problem, I just installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy and it is lying telling me it's up to date, aptitude update; aptitude full-upgrade just repeated the lie...
[18:22] <Der> TomV_415, windows  =  garbage, ubuntu needs work
[18:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> vikashagrawal199, does the server have an ssh client on it?
[18:23] <blakkheim> armence: you are up to date then
[18:23] <TomV_415> Der: Yes, Macs are good.  I have been using ubuntu day to day for 6 months now, and love it.
[18:23] <Shogoot> So yeah. Remote desktop is ok. but im looking for a way to connect to my home computer remotely and without any more burocrasy access its harddrives and what not. What does application are im looking for?
[18:23] <vikashagrawal199> i am new to irc so couldnt follow
[18:23] <SpaceGhostC2C> Der, wouldn't you argue that all need work? Also offtopic mates.
[18:23] <bodacydo> SpaceGhostC2C, thanks, I pm'd you.
[18:23] <Santiago> ActionParsnip, mmm but it have an unique partition in ext2, I've just done it with gparted
[18:23] <armence> blakkheim: But I'm obviously not, the look and feel is clearly not Ubuntu 9.10
[18:23] <SpaceGhostC2C> vikashagrawal199, you need ssh client on server.
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> Shogoot, for remote file access use ssh
[18:23] <blakkheim> armence: oh you want to upgrade your ubuntu version?
[18:23] <Izinucs> armence: not sure I understand you.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade .. and that last bit *will not* take you to the next release..
[18:23] <Shogoot> ActionParsnip im gonna look ssh up
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> Santiago, then add an entry in fstab so users have full access to it
[18:24] <Der> TomV_415, am talking only desktops not servers, and yes SpaceGhostC2C i guess they all need work, but macs need the least most
[18:24] <vikashagrawal199> i it in my systes ir synaptic
[18:24] <jellow> frederic185: Run sudo lshw -C network
[18:24] <Shogoot> ActionParsnip any guide you already know of you can trow at me?
[18:24] <armence> blakkheim: Well, yes... I assume that the new version has some benefits
[18:24] <jellow> frederic185: and post output to pastebin
[18:24] <sipior> Der: this is a support channel. time to move on.
[18:24] <jackhorner> Hi all, ive tried to upgrade a server to lucid today and, well, ive big troubles (i was expecting them), biggest one is mountall not working because its not able to contact udev via socked. Udevd is not running if i try to start it by hand it says "error initializing netlink socket"
[18:24] <jackhorner> Any idea?
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> Shogoot, it uses encryption, you can also launch x based apps over it too to have the app running on the server but displayed on the client, no need for remote desktop then :)
[18:24] <pdg1> so here's a funky issue. I had Ubuntu. everything worked good but it was running too slowly. changed to Xubuntu with xfce. my SATA hdd has disappeared. what has happened?
[18:25] <SpaceGhostC2C> Hey, we need to get on topic. If you all want to chat about best OS, go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> Shogoot, run: sudo apt-get install openssh-server and you will have all you need
[18:25] <Der> sipior, well support me then....soundcard dosent work anymore, can you help me
[18:25] <SpaceGhostC2C> I'd love to chat about it there.
[18:25] <Izinucs> pdg1: you mean the icon on the desktop?
[18:25] <sipior> Der: only if you plan on being more specific.
[18:25] <Shogoot> thanks ActionParsnip.
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> pdg1, run: mount    it will tell you what is mounted where
[18:25] <pdg1> Izinucs, no. the drive can't even be found by gparted. I didn't touch any of the hardware when i reinstalled it
[18:25] <Santiago> ok i will try ActionParsnip , just a question.. I want to use this disk to do backups so if I need to do this work with fstab on all my systems it's not so convenient, do you suggest me to use another file system like fat32? is this a thing tha happened with ext2?
[18:25] <armence> Izinucs: Yes, that is correct
[18:25] <Der> sipior, after i installed userful multiplier [hated it] uninstalled it, i dont hear audio any more
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> pdg1, if its not mounted, mount it
[18:26] <armence> Izinucs: Is it not supposed to do so?
[18:26] <pdg1> is it pastbinit that i can apt-get?
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> Santiago, fat32 isnt robust to random power offs, ntfs is much sturdier
[18:26] <ActionParsnip> !info pastebinit | pdg1
[18:26] <Der> sipior, it would be great if i can fully reconfigure every sound h/w aspect, while am running my desktop, instead of making a new install
[18:26] <SpaceGhostC2C> ActionParsnip, but it also has read write across all major platforms, amirite?
[18:27] <sipior> Der: what sort of card? also, have you contacted the makers of the software that you installed?
[18:27] <armence> blakkheim: How can I go to the next release? Well, the latest release actually?
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> SpaceGhostC2C,yes but so can ntfs as well as ext2/3/4
[18:27] <Santiago> ActionParsnip, but ntfs is proprietary.. and I use only GNU/Linux systems, ubuntu jaunty, and ArchLinux
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> Santiago,then use ext4 or ext2 if its a flash based storage
[18:27] <Der> sipior, i didnt contact them, its a problem on ubuntu, my system, i just need audio, reconfigured figured this is the ""ryt place""
[18:27] <SpaceGhostC2C> ActionParsnip, wait, native support for ext fs's?
[18:28] <blakkheim> armence: if you're on 8.04 it would be faster just to reinstall with the latest, you can't skip versions. OR you can wait until lucid comes out in april and update directory to it
[18:28] <Izinucs> armence: you mean take you to the next release by using sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?  no.. it won't take you to the next release.. if you want to do that go to System>Admin>Upgrade manager and in there you'll see a button to upgrade to the next release.. however if you're on 8.04 you may want to wait until April of this year when 10.04 is released.. You'll be able to upgrade directly to that instead of one release at a time.
[18:28] <sipior> Der: and did sound work after you installed multiplier?
[18:28] <pdg1> ActionParsnip, http://pastebin.com/f45bf3a0
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> SpaceGhostC2C, sure, you just need better options when its mounted
[18:28] <Santiago> ok thanks for the advice ActionParsnip
[18:28] <Der> sipior, yes it worked, but after i rebooted, it stopped
[18:28] <sipior> Der: "userful multiplier" is not a supported ubuntu package, to my knowledge. again, what type of card?
[18:29] <zak>  i have a 250GB HDD, and i am going to replace by a 750 GB HDD , shall i made some change in fstab ?howt o mount it  ?
[18:29] <SpaceGhostC2C> ActionParsnip, I was talking cross-platform. If I work in a mac/windows/linux environment where I can't tweak much, wouldn't fat32 be the best choice? possibly ntfs.
[18:29] <Der> sipior, i dunno its a builtin one, on the intel motherboard, with the optiplex 755
[18:29] <Der> Dell
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> pdg1, then mount the partition using fstab or command line, nautilus may be able to mount it
[18:29] <armence> blakkheim, Izinucs: I'll just upgrade... I had to install from netboot because the CD-drive was shot and I had heard that it only worked with 8.04 which is why I am in 8.04
[18:30] <haxori> #ubuntu-pl
[18:30] <armence> Izinucs: Is the Upgrade manager different from the update manager?
[18:31] <armence> Izinucs: Because if it is, I don't have it and if they are the same, it doesn't give me an upgrade button
[18:31] <Carutsu> Hello. I'm getting a weird error, I'm trying to source a file, like this: source my_file, however I get the error "bash: source: no such file or directory", is it possible for source not to be installed?! (I'm positive the file exist, I just created it)
[18:31] <Arabus> mguy: I used UNetBootin now to install a livecd to the harddrive and attached it to the other computer...
[18:32] <jellow> frederic185: Im going afk , Bit of light reading look at last section on connection dropping , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessTroubleShootingGuide#Dropped%20Connections
[18:32] <ZykoticK9> jackhorner, you might want to ask in #ubuntu+1 - on my desktop Lucid I certainly have "udevd --daemon" running, my quick search of Launchpad didn't turn anything up for you (i might have missed something though).  FYI Lucid Alpha2 probably only suitable for testing on a server right now.  Best of luck.
[18:32] <jackhorner> ZykoticK9, thanks, its just a test env, nothing on there, so its fine
[18:32] <JaguarWarrior> Hello

[18:33] <zak>  i have a 250GB HDD, and i am going to replace by a 750 GB HDD , shall i made some change in fstab ?howt o mount it  ?
[18:33] <sipior> Der: i would recommend you contact Userful's support line. their software (or its removal) broke your computer, and they would have a better idea of what their (closed source?) product did to your system.
[18:33] <mismit> hola que tal??

[18:37] <ZykoticK9> Manii, FYI Emerald is no longer maintained in any manner - and should be avoided for this reason
[18:37] <TomV_415> Could use some help with this: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d69f6c7c0  for anyone who knows grub2 well...

[18:39] <SpaceGhostC2C> zealot need help fixing?
[18:40] <underdog5004> so, still having problems with crontab. Anyone got some time? I've already put absolute paths into the script and put a PATH var in my crontab, no luck :(
[18:40] <rek> hi, what does mutt use to send the mail?
[18:40] <sipior> SpaceGhostC2C: i have a feeling the only thing he needs fixed is his sense of humour :-)
[18:40] <Hiram> underdog5004: what are you trying to do in your cron
[18:41] <rek> hi, how can i chose how to send the mail with mutt with something i configured in sendmail.cf ? like DSsmtp.tele2.it  ?
[18:41] <underdog5004> * * * * * mail sh /var/mail/getmail.sh        http://pastebin.com/m72e2b8d7  <-- script I'm running
[18:41] <SpaceGhostC2C> sipior, depends on the joke.
[18:41] <underdog5004> and there's a newline character after the end of the crontab entry
[18:41] <michaeldobrovits> hi, can someone help me with a hi res custom modeline
[18:41] <underdog5004> I've also made an /etc/cron.deny file (empty)
[18:42] <jok3r> hello, i'm having trouble upgrading: upon dist-upgrade dpkg tries to configure python and fails, at which time many other things that depend on python fail to be configured and dpkg dies
[18:42] <jok3r> http://pastebin.com/m193495b9
[18:42] <jok3r> that's the dpkg spitout from configuring python
[18:42] <Hiram> underdog5004: so, you're trying to execute the mail command at every minute of every day?
[18:42] <aaronfc> Hello :) Is it normal that ubuntu 9.10 run slowly in my Athlon 64 (2Ghz) (... Yes I know, I've to buy new processor :P)
[18:42] <`mOOse`> erUSUL, gonna be back anytime soon?
[18:42] <SpaceGhostC2C> `mOOse`, you should re ask now.
[18:42] <Shogoot> i know theres a fast way to change from gnome to kde.....  was it sudo apt-get install kde"?
[18:42] <underdog5004> Hiram, yep, but scheduling isn't the issue right now
[18:42] <underdog5004> that's just for testing
[18:42] <michaeldobrovits> hi, can someone help me with a hi res custom modeline
[18:42] <SpaceGhostC2C> Shogoot,  do you wnat both at once?
[18:42] <h00k> Shogoot: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[18:42] <mguy> Shogoot: Download Kbuntu
[18:42] <aaronfc> Hello :) Is it normal that ubuntu 9.10 run slowly in my Athlon 64 (2Ghz) (... Yes I know, I've to buy new processor :P)
[18:42] <JaguarWarrior> Guys can anyone help me out? I get crashes everytime I launch package manager and other such programs
[18:43] <Shogoot> mguy if i wanted kbuntu i would :)
[18:43] <michaeldobrovits> hi, can someone help me with a hi res custom modeline
[18:43] <erUSUL> `mOOse`: just explain the problem :)
[18:43] <SpaceGhostC2C> aaronfc, I'm running something much older with ubuntu and that isn't a problem.
[18:43] <jok3r> i'm having trouble dist-upgrading: when i dist-upgrade it fails to configure the new version of python which in turn fails over to the things that depend on python
[18:43] <jok3r> http://pastebin.com/m193495b9
[18:43] <aaronfc> SpaceGhostC2C, then what can it be ?
[18:43] <SpaceGhostC2C> erUSUL, remember he's trying to fix grub2
[18:43] <jok3r> that's the spitout from trying to configure python with dpkg
[18:44] <Hiram> underdog5004: well, it should go something like this '* * * * * /path/to/script'
[18:44] <underdog5004> yep
[18:44] <michaeldobrovits> hi, can someone help me with a hi res custom modeline
[18:44] <erichynds> after i add a user to a group, is there a way to refresh that somehow?
[18:44] <underdog5004> * * * * * mail sh /var/mail/getmail.sh
[18:44] <SpaceGhostC2C> aaronfc, any number of things mate. Has it always been "slow" to you?  I think you can get away with restarting gdm.
[18:45] <Hiram> underdog5004: you should be taking out your "mail sh"
[18:45] <jok3r> does anyone know why python is failing to be configured by dpkg?
[18:45] <underdog5004> are you sure?
[18:45] <Hiram> underdog5004: does your script work from the command line?
[18:45] <aaronfc> SpaceGhostC2C, yes since I installed this new version. But WinXP and old Kubuntu and ubuntu versions, worked well. Now when I open for example 2 folders, it takes a while to open them :S
[18:45] <`mOOse`> erUSUL, I have XP on C: and Win7 on G: and Xubuntu on a flashdrive usb....when I was installing Xubuntu Grub2 complained that I was trying to install the bootloader to a directory and not an MBR....but it did it. Works ok when I boot from the USB - get the Grub2 menu...but when I try to boot without the flashdrive in the port, my windows boot menu is gone and there's just GRUB printed in the top left corner of my screen
[18:45]  * `mOOse` takes a breath
[18:45] <erichynds> SpaceGhostC2C: how can i restart gdm?
[18:45] <underdog5004> Hiram, yep
[18:45] <Hiram> underdog5004: yes. the only argument that should be in your cron is the time/single command.
[18:46] <underdog5004> ok...
[18:46] <ajavid> hello, I am using ubuntu 8.04lts and I have errors in command line.perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory
[18:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> erichynds, sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart.
[18:46] <erichynds> thanks
[18:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> erichynds, you'll be logged out.
[18:46] <underdog5004> gotta wait a couple minutes to test it :/
[18:46] <erichynds> yeap
[18:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> erichynds, but just log back in.
[18:46] <`mOOse`> so I look in the MBR sector of my HD and in the text it says Grub Error and other nonsense
[18:46] <erUSUL> `mOOse`: the files that grub needs to fully boot properly are in the usb flash drive. no flash drive no joy.
[18:46] <Hiram> underdog5004:you don't need to start it with "sh" because the very first thing your script does is declare what shell its using.
[18:46] <`mOOse`> hmmm
[18:46] <SpaceGhostC2C> underdog5004, have you tested the script seperately?
[18:47] <underdog5004> whoohoo, it's working!
[18:47] <underdog5004> thanks a lot, I really appreciate your help!
[18:47] <SpaceGhostC2C> Hiram, assuming it has a executable bit.
[18:47] <michaeldobrovits> hi, can someone help me with a hi res custom modeline
[18:47] <{g}> Hey People! I want to find out the maximum resolution my Amilo SI 1520 supports when used with an external monitor. Any ideas how I do that?
[18:47] <`mOOse`> but in the Grub2 boot menu there are 2 entries aside from the linux kernels....they both say Win7 and neither of them boot me to windows!
[18:47] <Hiram> SpaceGhostC2C: well, yeah.
[18:47] <ajavid> hello, I am using ubuntu 8.04lts and I have errors in command line.perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory.  I have aptitude install locales and sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales but nothing fixed
[18:47] <ajavid> I don't know what to do
[18:47] <aaronfc> Hey guys, anybody can give me a point of light and tell how can I check why my computer is not working well ? It's slow (Ubuntu 9.10)
[18:47] <`mOOse`> that is when I boot off the usb ^
[18:47] <erUSUL> `mOOse`: you will have to restore the windows bootloader. if you have a windows installcd you can boot with it and enter a recovery console (press f8 druing boot) iirc) and run "fixmbr"
[18:48] <`mOOse`> ok...let me try that now
[18:48] <`mOOse`> thanks
[18:48] <Hiram> So now that we've done some scripting, how about getting into memory allocation? ... anyone?
[18:48] <ajavid> does anyone know about ubuntu 8.04 lts
[18:48] <erUSUL> `mOOse`: next time when asked where to nstall grub choose the usb disk
[18:48] <selig5> aaronfc: computer specs?
[18:48] <ajavid> is this too old for a server?
[18:48] <`mOOse`> I did!
[18:48] <`mOOse`> 4 times!
[18:48] <ajavid> what is the problem with locales?
[18:48] <`mOOse`> it kept bitching at me
[18:48] <aaronfc> selig5, Athlon 64 2Ghz Processor, 2GB RAM ¿anything else ?
[18:48] <SpaceGhostC2C> !language | `mOOse`
[18:49] <erUSUL> ajavid: it is the current lts so no too old. but the next one comes out in april (10.04)
[18:49]  * `mOOse` washes his mouth out with soap
[18:49] <ajavid> is there a different channel for ubuntu server suport?
[18:49] <`mOOse`> ok, brb
[18:49] <`mOOse`> :-)
[18:49] <selig5> aaronfc: that should be good enough...
[18:49] <arand> ajavid: it is the current supported LTS.
[18:49] <ajavid> then why cant I get support?
[18:49] <arand> !server | ajavid
[18:49] <SpaceGhostC2C> ajavid, the only real difference between server and desktop is desktop is server with a gui and such things.
[18:49] <ajavid> hello, I am using ubuntu 8.04lts and I have errors in command line.perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C"). locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory locale: Cannot set LC_ALL to default locale: No such file or directory.  I have aptitude install locales and sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales but nothing fixed
[18:49] <aaronfc> selig5, I know... but it's slow :S ... It takes about 5 seconds to open a folder
[18:49] <erUSUL> `mOOse`: ok; i've never installed in a usb disk so i dunno maybe the installer is buggy in that regard
[18:49] <ajavid> I don't know how o fix
[18:49] <ajavid> do you know?
[18:50] <SpaceGhostC2C> ajavid, try looking in #ubuntu-server
[18:50] <erUSUL> he left?
[18:50] <ajavid> ok
[18:50] <bugs> hey there, what do i need to compile a kernel module on ubuntu? i have linux-headers-2.6.31-17 installed but make (distclean|modules_prepare) still fails.
[18:51] <sivik> is there a way to add a very large range of ips, like over 200 without doing it per eth0:#?
[18:51] <selig5> aaronfc: have you checked top or htop to see if you have stuff using too much cpu
[18:51] <ajavid> ok
[18:51] <SpaceGhostC2C> bugs sudo apt-get install build-essential
[18:52] <tavish> sivik: try writing a bash script to generate the /etc/interfaces file
[18:52] <aaronfc> selig5, I did top, and I get Xorg with 26% at some moments, but gets back to 2 or 3% after a moment. But nothing else
[18:53] <sivik> tavish: so there isn't a way like ifcfg-range# like in centos/redhat?
[18:53] <TomV_415> I'm having a challenge - I upgraded my hard drive, and cloned the partitions of the old one onto the new one (using Windows), now I can't get boot loader to work, after trying for many hours...
[18:53] <TomV_415> I'm able to get to windows via supergrub (1.2.1)
[18:53] <selig5> aaronfc: sounds fine, I'm out of ideas....
[18:53] <buxnaman> what is sdl? i need it and cannot figure out where to download
[18:54] <BedMan> 01:40 -!- BedMan was kicked from #ubuntu by mneptok [BedMan]
[18:54] <michaeldobrovits> TomV_415, have you tried a livecd and chroot into it?
[18:54] <BedMan> ??
[18:54] <haven489> Can anybody tell me what password hashes ubuntu9.10 uses?
[18:54] <tavish> sivik: i dont know. but i think the script would be pretty easy to write. just use the hwaddr field only once.
[18:54] <aaronfc> selig5, you tried at least :) if you get any other idea, please tell me :) I'm here looking for a solution :(
[18:54] <SpaceGhostC2C> michaeldobrovits, what does chrooting into it have to do with it?
[18:54] <TomV_415> michaeldobrovits: sort of.. I did that as part of one of the web pages on how to fix..http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d69f6c7c0
[18:54] <rek> hi, how can i chose how to send the mail with mutt with something i configured in sendmail.cf ? like DSsmtp.tele2.it  ?
[18:54] <haven489> Can anybody tell me what password hashes ubuntu9.10 uses?
[18:55] <omani> hi, could someone help me pls. my id_rsa private key for my ssh server doenst work on my new system. it is the private key of my old client system, but when i want to use it on the new client, it asks me for a passphrase, although i dont have set any.
[18:55] <TomV_415> michaeldobrovits: (more details on what i've done there.)
[18:55] <omani> hi, could someone help me pls. my id_rsa private key for my ssh server doenst work on my new system. it is the private key of my old client system, but when i want to use it on the new client, it asks me for a passphrase, although i dont have set any.
[18:55] <erUSUL> haven489: one based on md5
[18:55] <omani> sry
[18:55] <erUSUL> haven489: man crypt
[18:55] <haven489> ok
[18:55] <michaeldobrovits> TomV_415, try setuping grub
[18:55] <selig5> aaronfc: somebody else here knows a lot more than I...
[18:55] <haven489> like umm sha-512?
[18:55] <michaeldobrovits> TomV_415, maybe you didn't clone the hdd fully?
[18:56] <michaeldobrovits> SpaceGhostC2C, maybe tom didn't clone the disks fully?
[18:56] <aaronfc> selig5, maybe :) I'll try
[18:56] <TomV_415> michaeldobrovits: looks right when I look at everything via live cd... but good question.
[18:56] <erUSUL> haven489: sha != md5 both are hash algo thought
[18:56] <aaronfc> selig5, I'm not good getting the attention of other people jajaja, I'll try :)
[18:56] <michaeldobrovits> TomV_415, and make sure bios is set on new hdd
[18:56] <TomV_415> michaeldobrovits: I did set up grub, but I don't really understand the mount stuff... so it may not have stuck
[18:57] <buxnaman> what is sdl? i need it and cannot figure out where to download
[18:57] <haven489> erUSUL: ok well i have forgotten my pass for my ubuntu 9.10 login, and i was thinking i'd use a password cracker to get it is there anyother way?
[18:57] <biber190519> Hi. i need to mount my encrypted hd. its encrypted using cryptsetup. first step i made was "cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda2 crypto"
[18:57] <pdg1> ActionParsnip, I'm sorry... I'm not sure I understand what you meant by
[18:57] <Pici> !password | haven489
[18:57] <biber190519> not its mapped to /dev/mapper/crypto
[18:57] <erUSUL> haven489: boot into recovery mode and change the password
[18:57] <SpaceGhostC2C> michaeldobrovits, I must be mistaken, I didn't see much about disk-cloning. My bad.
[18:57] <selig5> aaronfc: keep trying, your comp should run better than how you describe.
[18:57] <omani> hi, could someone help me pls. my id_rsa private key for my ssh server doenst work on my new system. it is the private key of my old client system, but when i want to use it on the new client, it asks me for a passphrase, although i dont have set any.
[18:57] <erUSUL> haven489: or what ubottu said XXDD
[18:57] <pdg1> ActionParsnip, I'm sorry... I'm not sure I understand what you meant by mounting it. I can't even find the drive as sda2 or anything
[18:57] <TomV_415> michaeldobrovits: new hard drive is replacing the old one, and boots correctly when i use supergrub
[18:57] <TomV_415> (but only into the windows partion.)
[18:58] <biber190519> but the mapped partition is lvm
[18:58] <michaeldobrovits> TomV_415, if youd go to livecd we can try together to see what the issue is. if it boot fine why doesn't your linux boots?
[18:58] <SpaceGhostC2C> omani, any reason why you wouldn't create a new private key?
[18:58] <biber190519> how to map these lvm's to another /dev/mapper
[18:58] <arand> haven489: If there was a way to recover it, something would be wrong, you can change it to a new one though..(see others links)
[18:58] <haven489> erUSUL: TYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTYTY
[18:58] <TomV_415> michaeldobrovits:  I do see that Gparted doesn't understand the partion, but Disk Utils sees everythnig
[18:59] <aaronfc> I've some kind of problem with Ubuntu 9.10. My processor is Athlon 64 (2Ghz) and I've 2GB RAM. The problem is that it takes about 5 or more seconds to open for example a folder, or when I minimize or maximixe a window :S .... It cannot be normal. Please if anybody can help me :) ... Top reports only Xorg consuming 26% at intervals, but it get back to 2 or 3% in a moment.... I'm sad, if I cannot get full rendiment for my pc, I'd have to go back to Windows XP
[18:59] <aaronfc> :(
[18:59] <TomV_415> michaeldobrovits: I have it running on live CD now.. (I'm typing from a borrowed lapop
[18:59] <TomV_415> )
[18:59] <michaeldobrovits> TomV_415, what fsys did you installed on the disk?
[18:59] <omani> spaceghost, cuz when i do that, i would have to upload it on the server, but the server is already configured for public key authentication only
[18:59] <michaeldobrovits> TomV_415, what wass there before?
[18:59] <omani> so i cant scp with a password logging onto the machine
[19:00] <TomV_415> michaeldobrovits: each partition is a bit different, see http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d69f6c7c0 for the filesystem lists (ntfs and ext3 are set up.)
[19:00] <rek> hi, how can i chose how to send the mail with mutt with something i configured in sendmail.cf ? like DSsmtp.tele2.it  ?
[19:00] <haven489> arand: i was going to try john the ripper but this seems to be safer...
[19:00] <michaeldobrovits> TomV_415, come to private
[19:00] <TomV_415> michaeldobrovits: how do I do that?
[19:00] <BeardedChimp> If you had multiple programs piped in a bash script, ie foo | bar | moo   after it stops running which return value does $? hold, and how can I chose which return value I want to read?
[19:01] <erUSUL> BeardedChimp: in bash you have the variable PIPESTATUS that holdes the return values of all the programs of the pipe (array)
[19:02] <BeardedChimp> erUSUL: Brilliant thats perfect
[19:02] <erUSUL> BeardedChimp: more help in #bash
[19:02] <ubuntu> hey how can i record video streaming e.x files that i play on vlc
[19:02] <arand> haven489: If you did find a way to actually recover the old password *string*, that would be a security issue in need of patching ;)
[19:02] <riccardo> erUSUL how can i chose how to send the mail with mutt with something  i configured in sendmail.cf ? like DSsmtp.tele2.it  ?
[19:02] <haven489> arand: then i shall see if there is
[19:02] <riccardo> how can i chose how to send the mail with mutt with something  i configured in sendmail.cf ? like DSsmtp.tele2.it  ?

[19:07] <paradoxuncreated> I was wondering maybe, if you knew why Ubuntu Studio reports errors with my harddrive (sdb) and eventually gets to a black screen, when Kubuntu is working (however also did report some errors with sdb at first boot). Could it be related to large HD, 500GB?
[19:07] <erUSUL> riccardo: and not a full blown mta like sendmail
[19:07] <SpaceGhostC2C> riccardo, meaning the fast double post. It wasn't personal.

[19:16] <pweezy> hi, i am looking to see what packages are installed on my system, i dont see a /var/log/packages, is the list being held somewhere else?
[19:16] <blakkheim> pweezy: dpkg --get-selections
[19:16] <MenZa> pweezy: Try dpkg --get-selections
[19:16] <blakkheim> too slow
[19:16] <llutz> pweezy: dpkg -l |grep ^ii
[19:16] <MenZa> blakkheim: Beat me to it :(
[19:17] <pweezy> MenZa: what is that, like a database for packages instead of a flatfile structure?
[19:17] <MenZa> pweezy: dpkg is the Debian Package Manager. --get-selections simply shows you what packages are handled by it.
[19:17] <sobersabre> hi. Can any WELL READ native hebrew speaker talk to me privately ? I have a difficult hebrew question!
[19:17] <pweezy> ok, so where is the physical list?
[19:18] <MenZa> pweezy: No clue. What do you need it for?
[19:18] <pweezy> MenZa: its just reassurance as i dont know the debain package manager
[19:18] <Pici> sobersabre: If its Ubuntu related, try #ubuntu-il, otherwise its offtopic for this channel.
[19:18] <blakkheim> pweezy: dpkg --get-selections > /tmp/the_physical_list :P
[19:18] <hikenboot> how do i tell the speed of memory installed is there a command that will show this?

[19:19] <blakkheim> hikenboot: cat /proc/meminfo
[19:19] <MenZa> pweezy: What do you mean?
[19:19] <pweezy> i mean, there's not a file somewhere that is keeping track?  how does the package manager know?

[19:22] <pweezy> ok so basically dpkg is an internet application that has a direct connection through the matrix to the oracle's brain who telepathically reads which packages you have installed and sends you back a list.
[19:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> pweezy, not really.
[19:22] <shadowshell> lol
[19:22] <kostkon> pweezy, yeap
[19:22] <SpaceGhostC2C> pweezy, take out the internet and you have a deal
[19:22] <shadowshell> yes, thats it exactly

[19:23] <shadowshell> no

[19:23] <shadowshell> apt-get install --no-start apache2

[19:24] <pweezy> i do like the apt-get stuff, though

[19:24] <pweezy> but uhm, i cant get my graphics card to work :(
[19:24] <shadowshell> i realize that

Googling has turned up "codepage=" and "iocharset=" options, but I've tried several combinations with no luck.  Any suggestions?
[19:24] <SpaceGhostC2C> try sudo apt-get install apache2 && sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 stop
[19:24] <shadowshell> and i don't want it to

[19:32] <mcw> SpaceGhostC2C, What package would be required to do such a thing?
[19:32] <Urda> llutz: ooo what about process names longer than 15 char? that seems to be the issue exactly
[19:32] <mcw> Pici, ok thanks
[19:32] <lein> mcw : Gimp
[19:32] <SpaceGhostC2C> mcw, a picture collage would require gimp or some other image manipulation tool.

[19:35] <z0mbie> hey guys
[19:35] <Urda> llutz, Pici, kind of. Making some custom daemons. here is the exact message from terminal: start-stop-daemon: warning: this system is not able to track process names longer than 15 characters
[19:36] <cak054_> n
[19:36] <SpaceGhostC2C> Urda, are process names necessarily the names of the file? I'm not sure.
[19:37] <z0mbie> i am using an ati-graka and turned the vsync on the highest level, but still my desktop has tearing
[19:37] <Urda> SpaceGhostC2C: I'm not exactly sure what is going. Let me do some research and pop back in here
[19:38] <pdg1> so I'm still having a hard time finding my hard drive in the device list
[19:38] <Pici> Urda: I suppose its a kernel limitation, since start-stop-daemon is lookin into /proc, perhaps #ubuntu-kernel has some answers? If not perhaps #ubuntu-devel.  Warning, those are active devel channels (not support channels), so be patient.
[19:39] <Urda> Pici: yes I am heading back to my drawing board and investigating this. I got some help from a new strace so I am going to review the work
[19:40] <Pici> Urda: Okay, good luck

[19:43] <Urda> Pici: initially, it looks like a Kernel thing. http://bit.ly/dwiK8W http://bit.ly/ciCh2V

[19:56] <sobersabre> hi. I have a flash disk. and as root I can do things like create a hg repository, add files, etc.
[19:56] <pdg1> I'm still having a bugger of a time figuring this out. I've got a 1TB drive inside this machine. It doesn't seem to be able to find the device
[19:56] <sobersabre> when I'm doing this as a regular user, I can create folders/files, etc. and I can run hg init "repository",
[19:57] <sobersabre> but when I'm running hg add it fails with error "Operation not permitted".
[19:57] <sobersabre> what can this be caused by ?
[19:57] <zilkomaa> ubottu: Okay, i am very sorry about that. It wont happen again, i promise you that!

[20:05] <zilkomaa> Hmm Pici.. maybe you can help me about other thing its about mplayer..
[20:05] <jineshgeorge> Hi. I need some help. Is there a way to control the cursor in Ubuntu? Like to set it to coordinates x,y ?
[20:05] <Yaroze> anyone know how to enable TRIM on an ssd device with ub 9.10 and ext4 ?
[20:05] <jamesd2> chris| i'm being lazy... is there a gui to modify fstab?
[20:06] <blakkheim> jamesd2: xterm -e sudo vi /etc/fstab
[20:06] <jineshgeorge> Hi. I need some help. Is there a way to control the cursor in Ubuntu? Like to set it to coordinates x,y ?
[20:06] <pdg1> pweezy, sorry... no idead what that could be from
[20:06] <zilkomaa> Pici: I'll have read all the instructions on web sites, and still cant get the mplayer work. I crashes and reports signal error 11
[20:06] <Pici> zilkomaa: Just direct your question to the channel, and not me, you'll have a better chance of someone answering the question.  (I'm more of a vlc person than mplayer anyway)
[20:06] <jamesd2> blakkheim, i figured as much.. just being lazy since ubuntu is a desktop os and not a hardcore unix like i usually deal with
[20:07] <foobaraoeutnahoe> hi
[20:07] <zilkomaa> Pici: Ok, tru that i use it too now days, because i get that tearing thing go away =)
[20:08] <chris|> jamesd2, if you are used to deal with Unix, then you should appreciate the terminal all that more :)
[20:08] <jineshgeorge> Hi. I need some help. Is there a way to control the cursor in Ubuntu? Like to set it to coordinates x,y ? I need to use it in my gesture recognition project (using OpenCV)
[20:08] <zilkomaa> Pici: Do you use ubuntu?
[20:09] <Pici> zilkomaa: I do.
[20:09] <jamesd2> chris| not really... since its a one off change, a gui is safer since i can't fubar the system and have to break out an install disk to fix a broken fstab
[20:09] <zilkomaa> Pici: 9.10, 32 or 64 bit?
[20:09] <Pici> zilkomaa: 9.10 desktop and server, both 32bit and I'm testing 32bit 10.04.
[20:09] <chris|> jamesd2, fstab is easily testable with sudo mount -a
[20:10] <zilkomaa> Pici: OK, hows that 10.04 feels?
[20:10] <muzikjock58> does anyone know where to go for help with skype on jaunty for the acer one aspire netbook. seems the new skype upgrade broke my i-mic functionality.
[20:11] <ZykoticK9> jamesd2, for NFS with user mount abilities i use a line like "htpc:/music       /htpc/music   nfs user,noauto,exec 0       0" and you could use "gksu gedit /etc/fstab" to avoid VIM if you wish ;)
[20:11] <Pici> zilkomaa: buggy.  This is not really on-topic for this channel though.  I'm in #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to continue though
[20:11] <jamesd2> ZykoticK9, thanks..  i don't mind vi or vim i prefer joe :-)
[20:13] <InvaderZim> How do I use kbluetooth (or bluetooth-applet) to RECEIVE files? I only see an option for sending.
[20:13] <emghazal> Should I put environment variables in ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile?
[20:14] <jiohdi> jellow: I get BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
[20:14] <speedbaron> how tell Ubuntu 9.10 not to show username at login?
[20:14] <shadenzo> .beer  Akos
[20:14] <llutz> emghazal: add them to .bashrc, source .bashrc in .profile
[20:14] <speedbaron> how to tell Ubuntu 9.10 not to show username at login?
[20:14] <jiohdi> jellow: for totem vanishing trying to play youtube
[20:15] <Myrtti> speedbaron: there's a setting you can change with gconf-editor, AFAIK. There might be easier ways of doing it, but that's how I did it
[20:15] <Yaroze> anyone know how to enable TRIM on an ssd device with ub 9.10 and ext4 ?
[20:15] <jellow> jiohdi: go in mplayer preferences>video>available drivers. select X11 (OpenGL). Save your settings and restart your application.
[20:15] <arghh2d2> speedbaron: make sure nobodies standing behind you?

[20:18] <jophish> is there a wget argument _not_ to download the file
[20:18] <Pici> jophish: Er.. What do you want to do with the file instead of downloading it?
[20:18] <jophish> wget -S
[20:19] <jophish> to get the server headers
[20:19]  * jophish thinks that that was probably a peculiar request
[20:19] <chris|> jophish, use curl for stuff like that
[20:20] <jellow> jiohdi: what am i talking about , Your using totem , The problem is that you graphics card can't handle the display resolution
[20:21] <jophish> chris|, thanks
[20:22] <zilkomaa> Question: How get alsa driver to pop up in sound-> prefences->profile bar?
[20:22] <jellow> jiohdi: You need to tell totem to use opengl
[20:22] <jiohdi> jellow: understood, but there is no option in mplayer for that

[20:28] <resno> cyrus__: is the youtube volume up?
[20:28] <llutz> zak_: uuids
[20:28] <zak_> sorry ??
[20:28] <adalgiso> cyrus__: sounds like maybe a setting in flash, if nothing else is affected
[20:29] <jellow> jiohdi: or try a smaller display
[20:29] <cyrus__> resno: yes the youtube volume is UP, but it's going through the laptop speakers instead of through the 3D stick
[20:29] <cyrus__> resno: my laptop's 3.5mm jack is broken
[20:29] <cyrus__> resno: and I want to listen to my headphones
[20:29] <adalgiso> not sure how to change it tho, cyrus__
[20:29] <zak_> llutz:  i changed the disk and my pc starts in console mode :/
[20:29] <ivan__> #please help# I can't install skype on XUBUNTU 8.04

[20:29] <JoeSomebody> hi, i have xp and karmic on a system, i am about to replace the xp partition with my backup app, if i lose my boot menu , is it hard to repair?
[20:29] <cyrus__> http://www.pc210.com/downloadhtml/USB_3D_Sound_PD552_driver_340.html
[20:29] <prometeus> is there a flash video accelerator for linux like bywifi or speedbit? thanks
[20:30] <cyrus__> that's the 3D USB
[20:30] <llutz> zak_: check UUIDs , compare "blkid" with /etc/fstab
[20:30] <zilkomaa> I have alsa drivers installed and everything..
[20:30] <jellow> where does totem hide its config file ?
[20:30] <cyrus__> it works great in linux, gives me 3d
[20:30] <trijntje> Hi all, my sound give a loud crack just before it starts playing, happend since my install of Karmic. How can I fix this?
[20:30] <zak_> llutz:  i changed the disk and my pc starts in console mode :/
[20:30] <SpaceGhostC2C> cyrus__, they make 2d usb?
[20:30] <llutz> zak_: check UUIDs , compare "blkid" with /etc/fstab
[20:30] <cyrus__> spaceghostc2c: it's a cheapo £2 usb stick that's also an audio-usb
[20:31] <zak_> llutz: can i do that in konsole mode ?
[20:31] <llutz> zak_: sure
[20:31] <cyrus__> spaceghostc2c: it works TERRIFICALLY on linux
[20:31] <ppaulhus> Hey. I'm on ubuntu 9.10, trying to mount an ext4 partition... when I type mount -t ext4 /dev/sdf /mnt/alpha it says unknown filesystem type 'ext4'... is there something I am missing here?
[20:31] <cyrus__> spaceghost2c2c: the only issueis YOUTUBE
[20:31] <zubers_> hey there, i've got a problem with ubuntu 9.04. my sister changed resolution, which isnt compatible with my monitor! can't see screen on it. :/ any1 know how to help?
[20:31] <blakkheim> ppaulhus: mount the partition, not the whole device
[20:31] <Pici> jophish: This seems to work.  Replace the dash after -D with a filename if you want it going somewhere other than stdout. curl http://www.google.com/ -D - -o /dev/null -s
[20:31] <SpaceGhostC2C> cyrus__, are you sure it's a sound issue related to your special +1 stick of noise  making?
[20:31] <zilkomaa> I have in profile "Digital Stereo Duplex IEC958, and its working but i want to use alsa instead..
[20:32] <ppaulhus> blakkheim: that's how it works on amazon with EBS
[20:32] <Gstar> JoeSomebody never had to repair a boot menu before so cant comment but be more wary if you have resized the original partition the restore cd will want to install to to install linux the restore cd will mostly likely format and repartition
[20:32] <cyrus__> spaceghostc2c: it's a very simple thing to fix.... MP3 plays through the usb stick, everything else does as well, EXCEPT for youtube
[20:32] <cyrus__> youtube keeps going through the ALSA (intel), instead of USB
[20:32] <JoeSomebody> i am restoring a backup i made
[20:32] <SpaceGhostC2C> cyrus__, what exactly is this special +1 stick of noise making?
[20:33] <Gstar> ah ok thought you meant a restore cd that comes with a new pc
[20:33] <jophish> Pici, thanks, one problem with that though. It still seems to be downloading the file. In my case the file is streaming music. so curl could take some time to finish
[20:33] <zubers_> hey there, i've got a problem with ubuntu 9.04. my sister changed resolution, which isnt compatible with my monitor! can't see screen on it. :/ any1 know how to help? PM me pls
[20:33] <prometeus> is there an app for speeds up the playback of flash videos on linux like speedbit video accelerator?

[20:35] <jophish> Pici, I guess that using -m for maximum time should work
