[05:52] <Jazanyc> can anyone help?
[05:52] <ircclouder> wolfric: i am getting DNS queries going out on wlan0 because <IP_ADDRESS> is the resolver
[05:52] <wolfric> ircclouder: that's fine nothing wrong with that
[05:53] <yeats> Shammancer: unity is what I have in mind, yes - feel free to install and see what happens - I just know a lot of people on older machines (esp. older video cards) are having issues with 11.10
[05:53] <ircclouder> wolfric: i fixed that in .2 by /etc/host'ing it
[05:53] <ircclouder> wolfric: yep
[05:53] <ircclouder> wolfric: i fixed that in *.1* by /etc/host'ing it
[05:53] <wolfric> ircclouder: i'm a bit confused myself tbh
[05:53] <ircclouder> lol
[05:53] <wolfric> ircclouder: btw, mac addresses are all correct yeah?
[05:53] <wolfric> ircclouder: if you look at wireshark frames
[05:53] <yeats> Shammancer: you would probably avoid those problems by going with xubuntu or lubuntu, though
[05:53] <ircclouder> wolfric: yep. no change.
[05:54] <wolfric> ircclouder: time to check logs i guess
[05:54] <wolfric> ircclouder: that sounds like either i'm missing something very obvious or you have some f-ed up driver or hardware issue
[05:54] <wolfric> ircclouder: no probably not hardware, more likely the network stack. check /var/log/syslog
[05:54] <wolfric> and dmesg
[05:54] <ircclouder> wolfric: ok. 1 moment.
[05:55] <bullgard4> When ripping an audio CD,  how can I in K3b version 2.0.2 change the default value of the target directory from ~ to another value?
[05:55] <wolfric> and kern.log
[05:57] <bullgard4> !enter | wolfric
[05:59] <wolfric> bullgard4: i added lines as i thought of them. Given my converstaions for the last 5 mines (that none of them were like that), you sound pretty picky to me
[05:59] <Jazanyc> can anyone help me with sorround sound issues?
[05:59] <hopstafarian> wolfric, yeats , thank you for the guidance..gotta go, but appreciate the help, and hope that i didn't offend too much...
[06:00] <wolfric> hopstafarian: offend? not at all i don't even know why you'd suggest that. Good luck
[06:00] <bullgard4> !sound | Jazanyc
[06:00] <yeats> hopstafarian: good luck
[06:00] <hopstafarian> wolfric, ty...
[06:00] <ircclouder> wolfric: thanks. i'll look further. nothing in the logs.
[06:01] <sam22> hail !! people of this channel !
[06:01] <wolfric> ircclouder: can you get internet with .2 connected by eth0 to a router or something
[06:01] <ircclouder> wolfric: yes.
[06:02] <ircclouder> wolfric: this is interesting. Dec 11 15:38:21 tarzan kernel: [52147.072912] e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None
[06:02] <ircclouder> Flow control: <needs something yes?>
[06:02] <wolfric> ircclouder: no that's fine
[06:02] <Shammancer> Alright thanks yeast I'll take that into consideration
[06:04] <wolfric> ircclouder: i'm fairly sure you don't need it however, try a cross over cable if you can get one. Try staticly confuring the ip addresses again and connect via router/switch (just not with dhcp),
[06:04] <ircclouder> wolfric: i was thinking about the IP header checksum mismatch because of checksum offload.
[06:04] <ircclouder> wolfric: alright.
[06:04] <ircclouder> put a switch in between and see.
[06:04] <ircclouder> thanks.
[06:05] <Jazanyc> ubottu: I have sound, I'm trying to get the sorround sound to work
[06:05] <wolfric> ircclouder: tbh, the ip header mismatch sounds like driver / network stack issues but if you've gotten internet to work before...
[06:05] <WHAT_UP> can i rely on rsync working in alphabetical order?
[06:05] <wolfric> WHAT_UP: why would you want it to
[06:05] <ircclouder> wolfric: exactly.
[06:06] <WHAT_UP> wolfric: i want a script to run if and only if the entire file transfered. i was trying to guarantee this with intermediate partial files, but for some reason those don't seem to actually get stored anywhere
[06:07] <WHAT_UP> wolfric: if the files are transfered in alphabetical order, i can be sure a file has been fully transfered if a file with a larger name has as well
[06:07] <wolfric> WHAT_UP: rsync --partial
[06:08] <WHAT_UP> wolfric: doesn't do anything for me. no partial files to be found
[06:08] <wolfric> WHAT_UP: also, put && after a command and whatever you put after && will only run if the first command is successful
[06:08] <mechbo> anybody know what "Send retweets to all services" does in Gwibber ?
[06:08] <WHAT_UP> wolfric: i'm aware. i'm running one command. i want a cron-executed script to look over the directory periodically
[06:10] <Jazanyc> can anyone help with s/pdif configuration?
[06:10] <ircclouder> wolfric: lemme download new driver for 82567LF
[06:10] <wolfric> WHAT_UP: i need to head off sorry. can you not add a && so something to show it succeeded? and --partial doesn't take "partial files", it just means it doesn't delete the stuff it transfers if it stops half way
[06:11] <wolfric> ircclouder: lol good luck...
[06:11] <ircclouder> wolfric: thanks for your help :)
[06:11] <ircclouder> wolfric: do you want me to keep you posted?
[06:12] <pythonirc1011> wolfric: can you please help...My ubuntu networking broke in bridged mode...the dhcp address assigned by the router looks right
[06:12] <Jazanyc> wolfric: can you help me with s/pdif configuration?
[06:13] <pythonirc1011> wolfric: my windows host can ping <IP_ADDRESS> -- but ubuntu box can't
[06:13] <petester> if I restart ubuntu remotely, can i VNC back into it straight away?  I just ran the updates, and now I can't get back in
[06:14] <Jeaton_> does everyone here like the new unity desktop? i just switched over from 10.04 yesterday and its taking me a bit to get use to
[06:14] <pugSk8r_> someone stole something from me
[06:14] <pugSk8r_> what should i do to them?
[06:14] <ircclouder> petester: it's probably your firewall or vnc isn't up. could be routes. who knows
[06:14] <ircclouder> pugSk8r_: report cops perhaps?
[06:15] <bullgard4> JeatonI don't like it. It's a dead end.  So there are different solutions available depending on the type of service you are spaking about.
[06:33] <bullgard4> +e
[06:33] <Lafiir> unity. but now that you mention it, I'm tired and forgot that it's probably a firefox only problem. nevermind than
[06:33] <Lafiir> then
[06:33] <Sivik> Lafiir, just don't installing gnome, install kubuntu or xubuntu
[06:34] <Sivik> unity does suck
[06:35] <Sivik> dr_willis, you around?
[06:35] <Lafiir> I wouldn't go that far. I am currently trying cairo-dock. It's pretty and does some things better than unity. But I am not sure
[06:36] <Lafiir> Missing the dash
[06:38] <underwar> hi
[06:38] <sam22> hail !
[06:39] <underwar> this is a comunity of ubuntu :XD
[06:41] <rainbowwarrior> hello
[06:46] <gogeta> sam22: used to be called tweak ubuntu
[06:47] <atruno> is ssh also a transfer protocol ?
[06:47] <gogeta> sam22: dunno if its still worked on
[06:47] <gogeta> sam22: let yu change a;; kinds of settings including a ui for disabling stuff
[06:47] <gogeta> all
[06:48] <gogeta> atruno: i beleve so
[06:49] <gogeta> atruno: scp file-to-send user@host:/path/to/place/file
[06:50] <gogeta> atruno: also if you setup sftp it uses ssh just like ftp
[06:51] <gogeta> atruno: and most ftp clients do support sftp
[06:51] <bliind> lol so i just put the ubuntu disk in.. picked 'install ubuntu' and screen went off.. disc stopped spinning, still no video.. no backlight either
[06:51] <gogeta> bliind: pfft goes the live cd lol
[06:52] <gogeta> bliind: probly means you got a newer nivida card and the oss drivers dont work
[06:52] <atruno> the problem is the source directory is a windows machine :(
[06:53] <atruno> and i'm using xubuntu which doesn't give the option to both merge and skip.
[06:53] <bliind> its an amd video card in it
[06:53] <bliind> but what bothers me is the backlight turns off too?
[06:53] <gogeta> bliind: or even a new amd
[06:53] <bliind> how do i resolve this issue?
[06:53] <gogeta> bliind: amd osss drivers are a bigger fail then nivida
[06:55] <gogeta> bliind: i wish they would just include the closed drivers out of the box but they dont
[06:55] <atruno> nvidia is very bad under ubuntu has been my experience a 6180se.  no grub screen or boot splash.
[06:55] <travisHAZE> Query: How does one change which partition auto-boots when GRUB times out?
[06:55] <bliind> heh... i hit the check discs for defects button and it does the same thing
[06:55] <bliind> no video, no backlight..
[06:56] <bliind> so i can't install ubuntu?
[06:56] <gogeta> bliind: not from the live cd
[06:56] <bliind> how then
[06:56] <BlueEagle> travis: /etc/defaults/grub
[06:56] <gogeta> bliind: you would need to do a alt install then boot into recovery and install the driver
[06:57] <gogeta> pain in the ass
[06:57] <bliind> yeah that seems a little ridiculous
[06:57] <atruno> travisHAZE, you can use the app startupmanager
[06:57] <travisHAZE> BlueEagle, I know the file, not how to do it
[06:57] <happygolucky> bliind: can't get into install?
[06:57] <travisHAZE> atruno, I don't want to alter which apps startup
[06:57] <bliind> screen turns off. backlight too
[06:57] <travisHAZE> I want to alter which OS auto boots from Grub
[06:58] <gogeta> happygolucky: are calssic video display crash being open drivers fail
[06:58] <atruno> travis its just an application under ubuntu that manages grub config
[06:58] <travisHAZE> Forgot to mention, running Natty not Oneric
[06:58] <atruno> travisHAZE, it will work for you
[06:59] <happygolucky> bliind: nouveau.blacklist=true as a boot option is my only choice.. i've a nvida gtx card
[06:59] <gogeta> bliind: found one
[06:59] <gogeta> bliind: http://ubuntureloaded.blogspot.com/
[06:59] <gogeta> bliind: a iso with the nedded drivers
[07:00] <bliind> nice. thank you very much
[07:00] <BlueEagle> travis: GRUB_DEFAULT takes an index or a label
[07:01] <travisHAZE> BlueEagle, huh? GRUB_DEFAULT (inside of /etc/default/grub file) I get
[07:01] <travisHAZE> The other, nope
[07:01] <gogeta> bliind: nv that just has a sepret driver iso
[07:02] <bliind> it's a lot larger - 2.64gb..
[07:02] <bliind> ha. just heard ubuntu log in on the computer with no screen :\
[07:03] <gogeta> bliind: alt f1
[07:03] <gogeta> bliind: if you get a display good things
[07:04] <bliind> nope nothin
[07:04] <BlueEagle> travis:read the file header for info
[07:04] <gogeta> bliind: you try booting into safe mode
[07:04] <bliind> hows that? i didnt see taht option
[07:04] <gogeta> bliind: yea its there
[07:04] <gogeta> bliind: failsafe
[07:04] <bliind> oh heh i just noticed your nick. nice ;]
[07:05] <gogeta> bliind: kick it into low gfx mode
[07:05] <gogeta> bliind: might work
[07:05] <bliind> nope... default, help, try ubuntu without installing, install, check for defects, testt memory, boot from hd
[07:06] <gogeta> bliind: should be one called failsafe
[07:06] <bliind> there is not. looking at the screen right now
[07:06] <ownz0rjoo> Anyone have any good resources for clickpad functionality I cannot get multitouch or right click working properly.
[07:06] <travisHAZE> BlindEagle, so basically change the 0 to a 1???
[07:06] <travisHAZE> BlueEagle, not Blind Eagle lol
[07:07] <bliind> ohhhhh you know what
[07:07] <bliind> im sorry i've misled you. i completely forgot myself. im not using a CD.. the CD wouldn't boot. I'm using a usb stick with unetbootin :\
[07:08] <bliind> i still had the cd in the drive so it was spinning up i thought thats what was booting. sorry, that was dumb
[07:12] <Jazanyc> can anyone help me to configure s/pdif?
[07:12] <Jazanyc> i tried the wiki pages with no luck
[07:12] <Pengu1n_Phr0zen> What's a very good channel for C Programming on IRC?
[07:13] <jonathon_> I need to add FreeBSD to my GRUB menu, But I can't figure this out, All I can find involves editing menu.lst, which my grub doesn't use
[07:14] <moepigal14h> as
[07:14] <moepigal14h> http://bit.ly/uPBolO
[07:14] <nac-godfather> edit grub.cfg, not supposed to, your supposed to edit some .40 thingy file, but i just edit grub.cfg in /boot/grub (this is for grub2)
[07:14] <Jazanyc> help please
[07:14] <nac-godfather> kinda cool that you can easily add backgrounds now.
[07:15] <jonathon_> Ok, But grub.cfg looks pretty confusing
[07:15] <nac-godfather> that's about it, i hate grub2 otherwise, way too complicated compared to before
[07:15] <nac-godfather> yeah, it's basically the same shit though.
[07:15] <jonathon_> Alright, I'll give it a whirl
[07:16] <nac-godfather> I think more advanced stuff like map commands n' stuff might be a little different, but basic location is pretty similar/same
[07:16] <bliind> okay i just reinstalled it on the flash drive using the recommended method, so i should have the failsafe option now im assuming
[07:18] <bliind> lol, no failsafe, safe mode, nothing... theres an empty advanced options sub menu... :| im upset that i cant install ubuntu
[07:18] <TiagoTiago> erm
[07:18] <TiagoTiago> ok, hi
[07:18] <TiagoTiago> hm, is it working?
[07:19] <TiagoTiago> no more error msgs, i guess my msgs is getting thru now
[07:19] <TiagoTiago> anyway
[07:19] <BlueEagle> travisHAZE: If you change 0 to 1 then the 2nd entry in Grub will be loaded
[07:20] <travisHAZE> rgr, ty BlueEagle
[07:20] <BlueEagle> travisHAZE: If you change it to 'Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-33-generic (recovery mode)' then you will always boot into recovery mode for kernel 2.6.32-33 regardless of the index it has.
[07:20] <TiagoTiago> After i got a new machine Ubuntu stopped working (i kept the HDDs from the old machine), i finally decided to give up and install over, but the installer kept failing, and Gparted says "ext2fs_check_if_mount: Input/output error while determining whether /dev/sda3 is mounted. mkfs.ext4: Input/output error ", what should i do?
[07:21] <travisHAZE> Will it still by default load GRUB up for x seconds?
[07:21] <travisHAZE> (have mine set for 15)
[07:21] <BlueEagle> travisHAZE: The lables correspond to the Menuentry in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[07:21] <silv3r_m00n> the traceroute command on ubuntu shows wrong results , anybody aware of that ?
[07:22] <jonathon_> Does this look about right?
[07:22] <jonathon_> menuentry "FreeBSD" { insmod ufs set root='(hd0,b)' kernel	/boot/loader
[07:22] <BlueEagle> travisHAZE: info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'
[07:22] <jonathon_> It's not laid out quite like that....
[07:22] <BlueEagle> travisHAZE: Shows you how to set the timeout as well.
[07:22] <BlueEagle> travisHAZE: GRUB_TIMEOUT is the one you want
[07:23] <travisHAZE> I have a bit of experience with grub
[07:23] <TiagoTiago> anyone?
[07:23] <travisHAZE> I just needed to know how to change the default booted one
[07:23] <travisHAZE> And you taught me
[07:23] <BlueEagle> !anyone | TiagoTiago
[07:23] <travisHAZE> So I thank you
[07:23] <TiagoTiago> already asked it...
[07:24] <BlueEagle> TiagoTiago: Sorry. Didn't see it. ;)
[07:24] <TiagoTiago> [05:20] <TiagoTiago> After i got a new machine Ubuntu stopped working (i kept the HDDs from the old machine), i finally decided to give up and install over, but the installer kept failing, and Gparted says "ext2fs_check_if_mount: Input/output error while determining whether /dev/sda3 is mounted. mkfs.ext4: Input/output error ", what should i do?
[07:24] <CrazyThinker> Can I bond two NIC which are connected to separate Gateways and ISPs using ifenslave?
[07:24] <BlueEagle> travisHAZE: No, you don't "just need to know how change xxx" you need to know how to read the documentation. ;)
[07:25] <BlueEagle> TiagoTiago: Is it mounted?
[07:25] <travisHAZE> You said read the comments at the top of the page, here's the top of my grub page
[07:25] <TiagoTiago> isn't mentioned by mount
[07:25] <travisHAZE> # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
[07:25] <travisHAZE> # /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
[07:25] <travisHAZE> Two lines
[07:26] <BlueEagle> travisHAZE: Sorry, then they have removed some of the info from when I installed.
[07:26] <BlueEagle> That's a shame.
[07:27] <TiagoTiago> BlueEagle: it isn't mentioned by mount
[07:28] <almoxarife> travisHAZE: # For full documentation of the options in this file, see: #   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration' <-- the missing link mentioned
[07:28] <jonathon_> Ok, so fun with grub over here, Trying to get FreeBSD into the list
[07:28] <jonathon_> I added this
[07:28] <jonathon_> menuentry "FreeBSD" { insmod ufs set root='(hd0,b)' kernel  /boot/loader
[07:28] <jonathon_> But I got command kernel not found
[07:28] <travisHAZE> ty almoxarife, I'll paste that in
[07:28] <almoxarife> freebsd? virus?
[07:28] <bliind> hi, using fluxbox and not gnome, does anyone know the actual name of the startup disk creator?
[07:29] <loculinux> olaaaa
[07:29] <loculinux> este chat es de vigo
[07:30] <TiagoTiago> BlueEagle ?
[07:30] <Jazanyc> travisHAZA: can you help me configure my s/pdif for sorround sound?
[07:30] <almoxarife> usb-creator-gtk
[07:30] <bliind> thanks
[07:32]  * TiagoTiago sighs
[07:32] <TiagoTiago> anyone has any idea how to help me?
[07:33] <livingdaylight> Hi
[07:33] <white_magic> anyone here use nomachine nxclient/server?
[07:33] <almoxarife> TiagoTiago: the question is confusing, can you restate it?
[07:34] <livingdaylight> I@m constantly getting my system freeze up, whereby  mouse will only travel between workspaces but not do anything else.
[07:34] <TiagoTiago> Gparted from the live disk (an USB flash drive actually) says "ext2fs_check_if_mount: Input/output error while determining whether /dev/sda3 is mounted. mkfs.ext4: Input/output error", how can i fix that, or at least find out what is going on?
[07:35] <TiagoTiago> mount doesn't mention it, so i guess it isn't mounted
[07:35] <livingdaylight> When I ctrl+alt+PrtScre+K to restsart I usually get this upon loging back in http://clip2net.com/s/1ogWE
[07:36] <livingdaylight> Firefox won't launch anymore. When I try it and system freezes all over aagain
[07:36] <TiagoTiago> What else do you need to know to make this clearer?
[07:36] <almoxarife> TiagoTiago: nothing else needed, thnks
[07:37] <livingdaylight> it was system would work for a while and suddenly stop. It seems to do it right away now when launching FF
[07:37] <travisHAZE> Query #2: Whenever I use shutdown -P it wont kill power to the PC, it just sits (with no OS loaded) until I hit the power button, how do I fix this? (Using acpi=off noapic nolapic)
[07:38] <nando> Hello everyone
[07:39] <TiagoTiago> almoxarife: any idea what i can do?
[07:39] <almoxarife> TiagoTiago: just a guess, the hd is toast?
[07:39] <A_J> is there anyway i can see a percentage indicator when i do mv via terminal
[07:40] <TiagoTiago> Before this the partition with WinXP seemed to be doing just fine
[07:40] <nando> wolfric, you still here? I think I figured out what was slowing me down so much. I had full drive encryption and home directory encryption and I guess it was to much for my system. Reinstalled without them and its much better. Still not 10.10 though.
[07:40] <almoxarife> TiagoTiago: simply based on 'input/out' error
[07:41] <TiagoTiago> But the failed install seems to have screwed grub, so i can't boot from that partition anymore...
[07:41] <almoxarife> TiagoTiago: then attached to a win machine, you may be able to see something, and I am just guessing
[07:42] <TiagoTiago> Anyway to just fix GRUB at least?
[07:44] <A_J> is there anyway i can see a percentage indicator when i do mv via terminal
[07:44] <travisHAZE> Query #2: Whenever I use shutdown -P it wont kill power to the PC, it just sits (with no OS loaded) until I hit the power button, how do I fix this? (Using acpi=off noapic nolapic)
[07:45] <Techdude101> shutdown -h now
[07:45] <TiagoTiago> travisHAZE: perhaps there is a BIOS setting to allow software shutdown?
[07:45] <Techdude101> or poweroff
[07:45] <TiagoTiago> oh
[07:45] <travisHAZE> -h does Halt or Power off
[07:45] <travisHAZE> But my computer only halts with -P
[07:46] <Jazanyc> can anyone help me configure my s/pdif?
[07:46] <travisHAZE> TiagoTiago, without actually going into my BIOS but going from memory there is no such option
[07:47] <A_J> travisHAZE can you look at my question please :D
[07:47] <jonathon_> Ok, Almost got this grub thing working. When I select FreeBSD from the grub menu now, I get ERROR: INVALID A.OUT HEADER
[07:47] <travisHAZE> I have, and I don't know
[07:47] <travisHAZE> When I move a lot of files
[07:47] <travisHAZE> It lets me know when each file has been moved
[07:47] <travisHAZE> I'm still a Linuxnub
[07:48] <A_J> okie no issues travisHAZE
[07:48] <jonathon_> Any ideas?
[07:48] <TiagoTiago> I'll try letting Spinrite go over the disk while i sleep, it was stupid of me to try to install an OS right before going to bed :(
[07:50] <Jazanyc> any one please help?
[07:51] <travisHAZE> If I knew what a s/pdif was, I'd help
[07:51] <A_J> Jazanyc this is #ubuntu not FreeBSF
[07:51] <A_J> BSD*
[07:51] <TiagoTiago> oh well, cya
[07:51] <jonathon_> When I select FreeBSD  from the grub menu now, I get ERROR: INVALID A.OUT HEADER. Help?
[07:51] <Jazanyc> what is freeBSF?
[07:52] <travisHAZE> FreeBSF is only the most awesome Unix OS ever
[07:52] <travisHAZE> Even mo betta than Mac OS and FreeBSD
[07:53] <Jazanyc> dude, I need help with s/pdif config.
[07:53] <Jazanyc> not looking for new OS
[07:53] <travisHAZE> Jazanyc, they said that your problem was FreeBSD related
[07:53] <travisHAZE> FreeBSD (much like Linux not being Windows) is not Ubuntu
[07:53] <jonathon_> Yea, But the FreeBSD channel is locked
[07:54] <jonathon_> Invite only
[07:54] <Jazanyc> no, i wanted alsa to detect my s/pdif, been working on it all night
[07:54] <travisHAZE> Not me
[07:54] <travisHAZE> I'm in ##freebsd
[07:54] <llutz_> !register| jonathon_ no reason to stay offtopic here

[07:55] <doc|home> can anyone recommend software in synaptic for managing an attached (via usb) APC UPS device?
[07:55] <jonathon_> I'll brb
[07:56] <A_J> llutz one question for you || is there anyway i can see a percentage indicator when i do mv via terminal. ?
[07:57] <pnorman> A_J: Moving one big file between drives or lots of small files on the same drive, or lots of small files between drives?
[07:57] <llutz_> A_J: afaik no, i never missed one
[07:57] <A_J> one big file pnorman. it's 8gigs long via usb so i want to know how long it is taking
[07:58] <pnorman> A_J: in that case mv is essentially doing cp. I think you could either monitor the size of the new file or string together some command with pv
[07:59] <pnorman> Frankly, neither is worth it for a file that's only 8GB
[07:59] <Techdude101> A_J: What I usually do is "mv <file> <dest> & watch du -h <dest>/<file>"
[08:00] <excelsior> is there a universal program for ubuntu to tell me what my processor temps are?
[08:00] <travisHAZE> I can tell your how to tell which processes are running
[08:01] <excelsior> temperature
[08:01] <llutz_> !info lm-sensors  excelsior
[08:01] <llutz_> !info lm-sensors  | excelsior
[08:01] <excelsior> ty
[08:02] <excelsior> sudo apt-get install lm-sensors?
[08:02] <llutz_> excelsior: yes "sudo sensors-detect" after that
[08:02] <pnorman> What temperatures it can report depends on your motherboard, CPU, and support. See dy-proposed, kubuntu-backports, kubuntu-experimental, kubuntu-updates, lucid, lucid-backports, lucid-proposed, maverick, maverick-backports,
[08:02] <pnorman> Er, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[08:06] <dinexi> Hello. I understand that the question is silly but I can't google the solution in a half of an hour. I have ubuntu 11.04 and compiz. When the windows like pigdin, skype and so on are restored from their "minimized" mode in the notification area, they're moves to the right each time. I mean, the window is restored not to the same position but with some shift to the right. 10 pixels, 10 pixels, 10 pixels... Who knows how to fix that?
[08:08] <A_J> umm sorry dced
[08:08] <A_J> llutz what were you saying
[08:08] <llutz_> A_J: idk, i never missed one
[08:09] <A_J> yes, but there must be an option for percentage like when you do sudo apt-get install etc
[08:09] <A_J> the downloading happens in %
[08:10] <llutz_> A_J:file a feature request, write you own mv-with-indicator-script, use pv... whatever
[08:10] <MTecknology> I'm trying to create a VM with vmbuilder. It all works when I don't specify partition layout, but when I do, I get a bit of a strange error. Any thoughts?  http://dpaste.com/671721/
[08:12] <lorddelta> Had two major video failures since the recent updates...any clues?
[08:14] <pnorman> A_J: I *think* pv oldfile > newfile would copy oldfile to newfile and show a progress bar, but I haven't tested it
[08:15] <MTecknology> !info pv
[08:16] <MTecknology> neat
[08:17] <A_J> so pnorman say pv 1stfile_path > 2nd file path ?
[08:17] <A_J> i want to move the files but pnorman
[08:18] <pnorman> A_J: iirc, mv does cp and rm if going from one drive to another.
[08:18] <edson> Lubuntu does not use all of my RAM. I have 2GB RAM but only 991mb is used. Anyone can help me?
[08:19] <A_J> okie pnorman i'll do it maually i guess ty
[08:19] <atruno> lubuntu uses less ram than xubuntu ?
[08:19] <A_J> lemem try
[08:19] <pnorman> !lubuntu | edson
[08:19] <usalabs> morning everyone, I just got my new PCI-e nVidia GeForce 9600GT gfx card, and using the Ubuntu default 195.36.24 driver, but on the nVidia site there is a Linux driver 290.10,,,, which one should I install for the new PCI-e card?
[08:20] <pnorman> edson: are you doing something that you would expect to use up all of your ram with? if you're not doing anything, the ram isn't going to be used
[08:20] <MTecknology> atruno: it's just a difference in DEs for the most part, install both DEs and see which works better for you
[08:21] <edson> Oh, so the other 1GB is a "reserve" so Lubuntu will use it when needed?
[08:21] <MTecknology> atruno: oh- sorry, i didn't read up far enough..
[08:21] <MTecknology> edson: this isn't windows man... not all of your ram will be used all of the time :)
[08:22] <pnorman> edson: the currently unused ram will get used for caching data, etc, but on my machine <1GB of ram is used if I just start it up and do nothing.
[08:22] <MTecknology> On my machine, I have 796MB RAM used of an available 4GB after having run all day (that's including cached data)
[08:23] <pnorman> MTecknology: Windows doesn't use all my RAM.
[08:23] <edson> Wait, I think I might have to restate my question.
[08:23] <MTecknology> pnorman: you have like a terabyte of ram or something!? on my 4GB Win7 was more than happy to chew it all up
[08:24] <MTecknology> not only chew it up, but do so very quickly
[08:24] <pangolin> !ram | pnorman
[08:24] <edson> According to my Task Manager, Memory: 382 MB of 991 MB used. I was hoping for 382 MB of 2000 MB used?
[08:24] <MTecknology> i love that site
[08:24] <MTecknology> edson: ooooh
[08:25] <MTecknology> edson: pastebin 'free -m' output
[08:25] <pnorman> edson: Ah - it's not showing that you have as much ram as you should. that's a different problem
[08:25] <pnorman> pangolin: ?
[08:25] <sweb> i want to access my guest machine in vbox (ubuntu 11.04) as web server. cent os 5.7. what is correct network config
[08:26] <MTecknology> pnorman: i think he meant that to hilight edson instead
[08:26] <edson> Here. http://pastebin.com/uhrB0XQF
[08:26] <llutz_> sweb: set it to bridged
[08:26] <MTecknology> sweb: any reason your trying to run a web server in vbox? personally, I think kvm is MUCH more suited to that task
[08:27] <MTecknology> and much better documented for doing it
[08:27] <usalabs> anyone know if I should use the Ubuntu nVidia driver 195.36.24 or the new Linux driver 290.10 on the nVidia site for my GeForce 9600GT 512MB PCI-e card?
[08:27] <MTecknology> and... bridged networking is much easier to comprehend and use in kvm
[08:28] <MTecknology> except for the kvm issue I'm having which I very much doubt you'll run in to
[08:29] <pnorman> MTecknology: I have 16GB in both my ubuntu box and my Win7 box. The Win7 box has 6G in use, of which about 3G is to games and other big apps. The ubuntu box has 3G used, of which 1.5G is cache. I think ubuntu (server) is better at handling memory, particularly for using free memory to cache data, but Win7 isn't that bad for memory.
[08:31] <MTecknology> pnorman: I can have 5 VMs running on my 4GB RAM and still have room to romp
[08:31] <mechbo> anybody know what "Send retweets to all services" does in Gwibber ?
[08:32] <Gifford> Hello, help me please.
[08:32] <edson> Anyone can help me on my RAM issue? Thanks. http://pastebin.com/uhrB0XQF
[08:32] <pnorman> MTecknology: I have some pretty RAM intensive programs that I run. One of them pushed other process to swap earlier in the month
[08:32] <Gifford> WiFi doesn't work in my netbook with Ubuntu
[08:33] <nando> Gifford, model?
[08:33] <Gifford> of netbook? Intel Classmate PC 3
[08:33] <Gifford> I entered the Wifi password and it says that WiFi is connected
[08:34] <Gifford> but I can't ping the router or use internet
[08:35] <nando> Gifford, you sure router is set up to respond to ping?
[08:36] <Gifford> yes, it worked on windows before
[08:36] <Gifford> with another device
[08:37] <Techdude101> Gifford: "ifconfig" from console/terminal
[08:37] <paissad> i would like to verify whether or not a command exist in the $PATH, but when i do "whereis loooool", i get looooool:  ; and echo $? return 0
[08:38] <paissad> i would like to get something != 0 if "loool" is not in the $PATH
[08:38] <paissad> because i want to do whereis loool || echo "loool is not in the PATH"
[08:38] <MTecknology> Techdude101: which
[08:39] <MTecknology> paissad: which
[08:39] <MTecknology> Techdude101: sorry
[08:39] <paissad> MTecknology, indeed ... thanks
[08:40] <MTecknology> paissad: if which p >/dev/null; then echo exists; fi    &&    if which cp >/dev/null; then echo exists; fi
[08:42] <Gifford> Techdude101: Sorry it took long? was figuring how to copy output throug flash usb - http://paste.ubuntu.com/766674/
[08:42] <MTecknology> paissad: or... if ! which cp >/dev/null; then echo 'does not exist'; fi
[08:42] <paissad> MTecknology, thanks
[08:43] <Techdude101> Gifford: Have you tried pinging <IP_ADDRESS> (which I am assuming is the ip of your router)?
[08:44] <Gifford> Techdude101: yes, it pings sometimes, with long pauses
[08:44] <gardenfox> is there a fork or a good alternative for archive manager for windows?
[08:45] <kaidi114> hi
[08:45] <atengesdal> good morning, running 11.10 and I keep having this problem in USC "failed to download packages". Checked sources.list, done apt-get update and update manager works fine
[08:45] <atengesdal> tips?
[08:45] <Techdude101> Gifford: Try "ping <IP_ADDRESS>"
[08:45] <jerry> question, when you set the time on your server that is in a differen't time zone than you.  Do you set it to your time/time zone or to the one where it's located?
[08:45] <jerry> I was going to set it to mine, then got to thinking about that
[08:46] <MTecknology> gardenfox: you mean file-roller? I think that's about the best option there is, even the lightest weight of systems tend to use it if there is a gui present
[08:46] <Gifford> Techdude101: nothing happening, what is that?
[08:46] <eeveetrainer> does anyone know the easiest way to get an apt?
[08:46] <Gifford> Techdude101: no, there is ping, but the same way, with pauses
[08:46] <Techdude101> It's just a well known dns server that accepts ping requests
[08:46] <MTecknology> eeveetrainer: get an apt? ..
[08:46] <eeveetrainer> yes
[08:46] <MTecknology> what?
[08:46] <eeveetrainer> i need a new apt
[08:47] <Techdude101> Gifford: you should see something like "64 bytes from <IP_ADDRESS>"
[08:47] <MTecknology> eeveetrainer: apt-get reinstall apt-get   ?
[08:47] <gardenfox> MTecknolohy: yeah is there anythink like that for windows?
[08:47] <MTecknology> eeveetrainer: you're not making any sense..
[08:48] <MTecknology> gardenfox: nothing i know of, 7-zip might have those capabilities now, i always fell back to using unxutils
[08:48] <Gifford> Techdude101: yes, but there pauses, how can I explain. it is waiting a lot and then there is answer, then waiting, then two answers...since then now there are only 16 answers
[08:49] <MTecknology> gardenfox: then you at least could unpack and pack bzip2 and gzip archives
[08:49] <Gifford> Techdude101: I tried putting the netbook right near the router and getting 100% signal? still the same
[08:49] <g3nt3lg1ant> Is there a way to share a file between ubuntu and windows on the same machine? I am dual booting both windows and ubuntu.
[08:50] <Techdude101> Gifford: Try "dmesg | tail" and look for any errors or anything related to wifi
[08:50] <omersimanovsky> Hello all, i have some issue with my mail server on ec2, i get message from the mail client of " The POP server doesn’t support Password authentication.", Someone can help me?
[08:50] <pikaciu> Gifford: have you tried with the eth cable ?
[08:51] <atengesdal> g3nt3lg1ant you can share from ubuntu into windows but not the other way around
[08:51] <Gifford> Techdude101: nothing about wifi
[08:51] <Gifford> pikaciu: no , but I can
[08:52] <pikaciu> Gifford: sometime i go that behavior with the wifi but not with the cable
[08:52] <edson> Gifford: try this 'sudo rfkill unblock all' that solved my problem in wifi
[08:52] <pikaciu> Gifford: sometime i go that behavior with the wifi but not with the cable
[08:52] <pikaciu> i got
[08:53] <Gifford> pikaciu: with ethernet everything is perfect, just tried
[08:53] <pikaciu> Giffor: drivers.... then ???
[08:54] <Techdude101> Gifford: Have you tried restarting the router? (unplug power cable for 20 secs)
[08:54] <g3nt3lg1ant> atengendal: so i cant share files with windows off my ubuntu partition?
[08:54] <llutz_> g3nt3lg1ant: store them on the ntfs-drive
[08:55] <Gifford> edson, Techdude101: I just tried sudo rfkill unblock all and ping through WiFi became perfect. what was that?
[08:56] <Gifford> and <IP_ADDRESS> too
[08:56] <edson> So wifi is ok now?
[08:56] <Gifford> what did I just do?
[08:56] <Gifford> yes!
[08:56] <Techdude101> Gifford: rfkill controls the action of a physical wifi switch, sometimes Fn + F?
[08:56] <edson> sudo rfkill list
[08:56] <paramananda> wireless cards are so fun
[08:56] <Gifford> aha? I thought about this, but pressing it didn't change anything :|
[08:57] <edson> you're wifi card was 'blocked'. happened to me before
[08:57] <Gifford> edson: all no
[08:57] <paramananda> especially with no ethernet plug available
[08:57] <eeveetrainer> wireless card headache is the single biggest thing hindering ubuntu's popularity
[08:58] <pikaciu> :P
[08:58] <paramananda> frankly it forced me to start using terminal and play around with ndiswrapper
[08:58] <edson> if you typed rfkill list before you unblocked, you must see everything blocked.
[08:58] <Gifford> strange, the function switch which is supposed to block/unblock WiFi doesn't do anything
[08:58] <Gifford> Fn + F too
[08:59] <Gifford> and why was WiFi half-working???
[09:00] <Techdude101> Gifford: On some laptops/netbooks the button is Fn + F7 (I think). On mine it's Fn + F2
[09:00] <pikaciu> bye
[09:00] <Gifford> Techdude101: there is the radio icon on F1
[09:01] <Techdude101> Gifford: That'll be it, Fn + F1
[09:01] <Gifford> Techdude101: but nothing happens on Fn + F1 I tried
[09:01] <blin> when I start the computer and see the file of /etc/resolv.conf , the "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS> is no exit ,so I have to add it again, is there any way to solve it?
[09:01] <edson> is your laptop an HP?
[09:01] <Gifford> and still, why was it half working
[09:01] <paramananda> pretty much only ubuntu has a huge pool of patient volunteer technical support
[09:01] <Gifford> edson: Intel
[09:02] <paramananda> well the most helpful I've seen
[09:02] <Techdude101> Gifford: Sometimes you need to hold it for a few seconds. Not sure why it was half working, i.e. you were getting an ip address
[09:02] <Gifford> Techdude101: and ping worked, but with long pauses
[09:02] <llutz_> blin: rightclick your networkmanager-applet, edit connection, set dns in ip4 settings
[09:02] <Gifford> now it works immediately
[09:03] <Gifford> Techdude101: holding doesn't work either
[09:03] <edson> paramananda: well Ubuntu ("humanity towards others")
[09:03] <Techdude101> Gifford: Do you know if it works in windows?
[09:03] <Gifford> Techdude101: I will try now
[09:04] <paramananda> yea which is why I like ubuntu and have tons of distros
[09:04] <paramananda> even though people say it makes me a linux newb
[09:04] <bullgard4> When ripping an audio CD,  how can I in K3b version 2.0.2 change the default value of the target directory from ~ to another value?
[09:04] <paramananda> I'm having fun customizing my desktop
[09:05] <edson> lucky you. I'm using Lubuntu and I can't do that customizations lol.
[09:05] <Gifford> Techdude101: yes, but it didn't before
[09:07] <loginix> hey
[09:07] <loginix> i have a question
[09:07] <loginix> anyone run ipv6 in ubuntu?
[09:07] <Techdude101> Gifford: Is there an led for wifi? When I press the wifi button for a few secs the led turns off
[09:08] <anand> hello
[09:08] <loginix> hello
[09:08] <Gifford> Techdude101: there is led, but it doesn't switch off
[09:09] <loginix> neither does mine
[09:09] <loginix> on my laptop
[09:09] <Gifford> it seems this functio n button doesn't work
[09:09] <Gifford> others do
[09:10] <Techdude101> Gifford: Probably a driver thing
[09:11] <Gifford> maybe, but why both ubuntu and windows don't have the proper driver is a mistery
[09:13] <Techdude101> Gifford: Ah sorry, I thought it was just with ubuntu with the led. There may be a setting in the BIOS to disable it or something
[09:13] <Incarus6> Gifford, what is your wifi card?
[09:13] <Gifford> dunno, it is integrated
[09:17] <edson> Errrmm so anyone knows how to solve my missing RAM issues?
[09:18] <Incarus6> edson, are you trying to use more then 4gb ram on a 32 bit system?
[09:19] <edson> No. I have 32 bit system with 2GB of RAM. Task Manager shows 410MB of 991MB used. Why not 410MB of 2000MB used?
[09:19] <edson> free -m http://pastebin.com/8dPByXAF
[09:21] <Incarus6> edson, are you sure you got 2000mb ram? isn't it 991mb ram + 1011mb swap?
[09:21] <xuser1> hi
[09:22] <edson> I'm sure of it. I don't have any idea on that swap. I just installed Lubuntu few days ago.
[09:22] <lesshaste> I have a large jpeg image and I just want to cut a rectangle out from it and save that as another jpeg. What's the easiest way to do that?
[09:23] <Techdude101> edson: How much ram shows up in the BIOS? 4GB?
[09:23] <xuser1> can you help me dvidi driver doesnot work in gnome 3
[09:23] <edson> Okay ill go check.
[09:24] <xuser1> any ideas?
[09:24] <Incarus6> Techdude101, I think he set up a swap file automatically and saw somewhere that he got 2000mb ram, but it was just ram + swap file
[09:24] <Techdude101> lesshaste: Easiest way is probably with GIMP, just use the crop tool
[09:25] <Incarus6> !gnome3 | xuser1
[09:25] <llutz_> lesshaste: convert (imagemagick)
[09:25] <Techdude101> Incarus6: You are probably right.

[09:28] <Incarus6> xuser1, sounds like you said "dcidi" before. whats the exact issue?
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> xuser1: use the additional drivers app
[09:28] <ActionParsnip> !away > ZonedOut
[09:29] <xuser1> i used the additional drivers app to install the nvidia-current driver (recomended) but the driver does not work
[09:29] <ZonedOut> Really? I was just changing my nick...
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> ZonedOut: are you awaying?
[09:29] <ZonedOut> and only 1 time lol
[09:29] <ZonedOut> no
[09:29] <lesshaste> Techdude101, ok thanks..the problem is that it's too large to load in gimp.. which is why I want to chop a part out
[09:29] <ActionParsnip> ZonedOut: my mistake, sincere apologies
[09:29] <lesshaste> llutz, how would that work?
[09:29] <Incarus6> xuser1, a log file of that would be helpful (/var/log/Xorg.0.log)
[09:30] <ZonedOut> no worries
[09:30] <llutz_> lesshaste: man convert (convert -crop geometry....)
[09:30] <ActionParsnip> convert is the awesome
[09:30] <lesshaste> llutz, interesting.. I'll take a look thanks
[09:31] <xuser1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/766705/
[09:32] <xuser1> that is the (/var/log/Xorg.0.log)
[09:33] <Incarus6> xuser1, and what exactly is not working? Xorg.0.log looks okay
[09:34] <xuser1> the driver , graphic effects , when minimize windows... etc
[09:34] <xuser1> i cant use compiz effects
[09:35] <xuser1> so , the driver dont work . is like i have not any driver installed
[09:35] <Incarus6> xuser1, are you using gnome shell?
[09:35] <xuser1> no im using fallback mode
[09:38] <bigmahatma> hi. I used arecord -f cd -t raw | lame -x -r – out.mp3 to intercept the audio from a yahoo video and record it to a .mp3 file, but the result is a very noisy recording. How can I improve the quality?
[09:39] <Incarus6> xuser1, I suppose it is an compiz issue http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1860615
[09:40] <dinexi> May be somebody will point me to the solution of my compiz bug? :)
[09:40] <Incarus6> xuser1, #18 on page 2 could be one solution

[09:51] <sweb> in ubuntu
[09:51] <sweb> in GUI env
[09:52] <dr_willis> what uses .md files? never heard of them
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> silv3r_m00n: why sudo for traceroute?
[09:52] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip: for the -I and -T
[09:52] <ActionParsnip> sweb: what is the file, the extension tells us nearly zero
[09:52] <almoxarife> Badman: well, lets see, if I added a new drive to an os I would expect that I needed to prep it somehow for the os
[09:52] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip: I think this is a bug , since response packets are fine , but the program is not picking them up
[09:53] <silv3r_m00n> ActionParsnip: I just noticed that traceroute-nanog command works well
[09:53] <sweb> ActionParsnip. a type of markup files. github use it
[09:53] <Badman> almoxarife: That's where i need help
[09:53] <xuser1> i tryed that http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11352145&postcount=18
[09:53] <xuser1> but doesnt work
[09:54] <almoxarife> Badman: and you were thinking that win help was going to be happening here? :)
[09:54] <dr_willis> sweb:  if its a text file any text editor should work. Or some sort of plugin for the text editors
[09:54] <Badman> almoxarife: precisely, yea
[09:54] <sweb> dr_willis: i want to see html result of parse of md file not source of md file
[09:55] <xuser1> any ideas
[09:55] <xuser1> ?
[09:55] <silv3r_m00n> I generally run something with root permissions like gksudo wireshark , but that hold the terminal as long as I am running the application ,is there a way for the terminal to return after launching the app ?
[09:55] <ActionParsnip> silverraindog: yeah weird, it needs sudo
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> sweb: what is the output of:  file filename.md
[09:56] <sweb> ActionParsnip: html
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> sweb: obviously change the file name to the name you have
[09:56] <ActionParsnip> sweb: then open it in a browser
[09:57] <sweb> 'markdown' is a command line tools to convert md files to html but i can find any GUI program to view md files as html result
[09:57] <sweb> ActionParsnip: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown
[09:57] <dr_willis> sweb:  if its a xml file theres xml editors, or editors like geany that have xml features
[09:57] <almoxarife> silverraindog: why not run it without a terminal?
[09:59] <silv3r_m00n> almoxarife: me ?
[09:59] <silv3r_m00n> almoxarife: I have it in menu , when I launch it it doesn't ask for root password
[10:00] <xuser1> the driver work in gnome shell , not in gnome fallback , any idea?
[10:00] <vindolin> after a reboot my mouse stopped working.. dmesg keeps repeating: usb 7-2-3: reset full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 5.. I tried another mouse and other usb ports: same problem.. my usb keyboard works fine
[10:00] <almoxarife> silv3r_m00n: there are two, one with gksu and one without, look and see
[10:01] <silv3r_m00n> no , there is only one
[10:01] <silv3r_m00n> I think I can edit the menu and add gksudo to the command option
[10:02] <silv3r_m00n> ok done , now it asks for password
[10:04] <theadmin> sweb: Um, you can view HTML files in any browser...
[10:04] <almoxarife> vindolin: the reboot was after some update?
[10:06] <vindolin> almoxarife: no
[10:07] <vindolin> almoxarife: changed no config files.. nothing
[10:08] <vindolin> almoxarife: even with the mouse not connected this system message gets repeated endlessly
[10:08] <almoxarife> vindolin: then its not mouse related
[10:09] <ircclouder> wolfric: yo
[10:10] <almoxarife> vindolin: can you pastebin the log entries?
[10:10] <ircclouder> wolfric: guess what the issue was? :P
[10:10] <vindolin> almoxarife: without a mouse? :P
[10:10] <Gyro54> Hi,  Can anyone point to where I can find info on how to connect to a HP mediavault?
[10:12] <ActionParsnip> Gyro54: how does it connect to the PC?
[10:12] <vindolin> almoxarife: also gdm consumes 50% cpu .. wt?
[10:12] <Gyro54> ActionParsnip:	It has a static ip <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:13] <RobinJ> erm, help? my public key is being denied when trying to download a bazaar branch
[10:13] <RobinJ> i've already created a new one (2 times)
[10:13] <theadmin> Gyro54: Just type that in your browser? ssh to it?
[10:13] <ActionParsnip> Gyro54: can you ping the IP?
[10:14] <Gyro54> ActionParsnip: I had it connected on my 10.04 but did a clean install of 11.10 and forgot how I mounted the shared folders
[10:14] <vindolin> almoxarife: ok the gdm thing was something other
[10:14] <Chees_BHW> hi. can I have eth0 instead of venet on a VPS with openVZ ?
[10:14] <Gyro54> ActionParsnip: Yes I can ping it
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> Gyro54: if you run:  smbtree      do you see any shares?
[10:15] <Gyro54> theadmin: Yes I can browse to it but I need to set up the folders to mount on startup
[10:15] <ActionParsnip> Gyro54: then you will need to add an entry in /etc/fstab
[10:16] <RobinJ> nvm lol
[10:16] <ActionParsnip> Gyro54: You can easily add it as a bookmark in nautilus and access it there when needed
[10:16] <RobinJ> unset SSH_AUTH_SOCK fixed it
[10:16] <Gyro54> ActionParsnip: wow! thats a nice one.  There are all the local printers and computers nut no mediavault?
[10:18] <almoxarife> Gyro54: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c00763627.pdf  <--- page 20 :)
[10:18] <Gyro54> almoxarife: Thanks I will have a look
[10:19] <ActionParsnip> Gyro54: what file serving technology does it use?
[10:20] <Gyro54> ActionParsnip: It runs linux
[10:21] <matrixiumn> hello
[10:22] <Gyro54> almoxarife: I used that before but was not sure if it relates to 11.10
[10:22] <almoxarife> Gyro54: samo samo
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> Gyro54: but does it use sshfs, samba, ftp?
[10:22] <Chees_BHW> hi. can I have eth0 instead of venet on a VPS with openVZ ?
[10:22] <almoxarife> ActionParsnip: samba
[10:22] <ActionParsnip> almoxarife: sweet
[10:23] <Gyro54> ActionParsnip: It uses samba or NFS
[10:23] <simoneb_> hello, i'm having issues with qjackctl, it just freezes after it starts, i can't see errors when running it from the command line. i have oneiric. anybody has a clue?
[10:23] <ActionParsnip> Gyro54: try telling nautilus to connect to  \\HPMediaVault\FileShar
[10:24] <ActionParsnip> Gyro54:  \\HPMediaVault\FileShare   sorry
[10:26] <Chees_BHW> what is the difference between eth0 and venet ?
[10:27] <almoxarife> Chees_BHW: eth0 is your hardwire connection to the network
[10:27] <theadmin> Bah, eth0 is the ethernet interface that's all
[10:27] <theadmin> venet is some other network type
[10:28] <Gyro54> ActionParsnip: When I try sudo mount -t smbfs //<IP_ADDRESS>/FileShare /mnt/sharefiles I get unknown file type 'smbfs'
[10:28] <Chees_BHW> theadmin so on a VPS i can only have venet and not eth0 ?
[10:28] <theadmin> Chees_BHW: Depends on your VPS, but I suppose venet is the OpenVZ networking interface...
[10:28] <theadmin> Chees_BHW: I don't see why do you need to change it
[10:29] <ikonia> Gyro54: it's "cifs" now
[10:29] <Chees_BHW> theadmin, because I need to use a setup for iptables that is made for eth0 and in my vps i have only venet in the ifconfig
[10:29] <theadmin> Chees_BHW: Um... Just replace every "eth0" with "venet"
[10:29] <Gyro54> Thanks !!  Will try that
[10:30] <dr_willis> sudo apt-get install smbfs      <---- dont forget Gyro54
[10:30] <ActionParsnip> Gyro54: you may need to access the web config page to check the share name
[10:31] <Chees_BHW> theamin, yes but the ifconfig looks different with venet. so can I just set it up like its eth0 ? will this work ?
[10:31] <Gyro54> dr_willis: I have samba installed? is that the same?
[10:31] <berlinick> Hello!
[10:32] <dr_willis> Gyro54:  No.
[10:32] <dr_willis> !info smbfs
[10:32] <Gyro54> ActionParsnip: Yes I will check
[10:33] <berlinick> I have a Java-related problem. Am I right here?
[10:33] <ActionParsnip> berlinick: if it's ubuntu related the sure :)
[10:33] <berlinick> Good :)
[10:34] <berlinick> I am working with a graph visualization program Gephi, which is written in Java.
[10:34] <almoxarife> !info gigilo
[10:34] <Gyro54> Looking good ... gave a "unable to find suitable address"
[10:34] <almoxarife> !info gigolo
[10:35] <berlinick> The program crashes several seconds after I start the visualization.
[10:38] <berlinick> Two solutions I found so far are: 1. Switch Java VM to client mode, or 2. Change the video card driver. I am not sure about the second solution, because I am still very new to Linux. I would like to try the first option. But I somehow can't: Entering "java -client" in the Terminal doesn't do anything.
[10:38] <mama58> !list
[10:40] <berlinick> I have also edited my bash profile so that it has the path to Java. But it didn't help. I think, I have done it wrong. I would really appreciate your advice.
[10:40] <Gyro54> This still gives the error "Unable to find suitable address" sudo mount -t cifs //<IP_ADDRESS>/shares/FileShare /mnt/sharefiles
[10:40] <Gyro54> It looks OK to me
[10:43] <dr_willis> Gyro54:  try findsmb, and smbtree commands to scan the network for what shares are there.
[10:43] <dr_willis> Gyro54:  and you sure that sharename is right? normally its like //ip.num.be.er/sharename
[10:43] <dr_willis> not  sharename/subdir
[10:45] <Gyro54> dr_willis: findsmb = <IP_ADDRESS>     HPMEDIAVAULT   [KKHOME] [Unix] [Samba 3.0.23d]
[10:45] <dr_willis> thats the right machine?
[10:46] <Gyro54> dr_willis: I will try without the subdir
[10:46]  * dr_willis notices the ip address is also differnt then what you tried...
[10:47] <Gyro54> dr_willis: no still the same?
[10:47] <dr_willis> You are using the right ip#?
[10:48] <dr_willis> You used 108 in one place.. but findsmb showed  '8'
[10:48] <berlinick> So the question basically is: How can I switch Java from server to client mode.
[10:48] <dr_willis> I dident even know java had a server/client mode. :)
[10:49] <berlinick> Yep, it has both.
[10:49] <berlinick> And it defaults to server on most machines.
[10:49] <berlinick> Well, it identifies mine as a server-class machine.
[10:50] <Gyro54> dr_willis: WTF Now that was stupid I removed the "10" That changes things
[10:50] <dr_willis> thats why i mentioned it twice
[10:50] <dr_willis> :)
[10:51] <blaa> #ccc.do
[10:51] <blaa> exit
[10:51] <berlinick> One forum post states that the SIGSEGV-problem I'm having disappears after switching to the client mode.
[10:52] <Gyro54> dr_willis:  Now I have a "mount error(6): No such device or address"
[10:55] <dr_willis> see if smbtree sees the shares Gyro54
[10:57] <Gyro54> dr_willis: No it is not listed.
[10:57] <berlinick> Uhm... Will I be thrown out of here if I don't write and just wait? :)
[10:58] <popey> no berlinick
[10:58] <dr_willis> berlinick:  thats what most people do.
[10:58] <berlinick> OK :)
[10:58] <theadmin> berlinick: No... Also, it's likely that your Java app has server/client modes... Java is just a runtime environment, similar to Mono or Perl or Ruby or Lua or such...
[10:59] <theadmin> Would make no sense for it to have server/client modes
[10:59] <Gyro54> dr_willis: findsmb shows it in a different workgroup? I will change it and try again
[10:59] <tarvid> getting badsig - http://paste.ubuntu.com/766746/
[11:00] <berlinick> As far as I found out, it is the environment itself, which has these modes.
[11:03] <Gyro54> dr_willis:  I have changed the workgroup and now have this error? Server requested LANMAN password (share-level security) but 'client lanman auth' is disabled
[11:03] <Gyro54> failed tcon_X with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
[11:04] <dr_willis>   \\BRWC417FE009DB0
[11:04] <dr_willis> cli_start_connection: failed to connect to BRWC417FE009DB0<20> (<IP_ADDRESS>). Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED
[11:04] <dr_willis> you are connectin to a windows server? or linux server? or what exactly?
[11:05] <berlinick> I mean, so says the official Java website.
[11:10] <Gyro54> dr_willis: I will check the 10.04 version and see how it was setup
[11:11] <berlinick> theadmin: I mean, you guys know incomparably more then I do, but I am still convinced that it is the environment and not the app itself. Also I read, that the problem does not emerge in earlier versions ov Java. I am trying to find the page (had to restart and forgot to save the bookmark, stupid), but with no success so far.
[11:12] <dr_willis> berlinick:  thats why i use delicious.com to do all my bookmarking.
[11:13] <berlinick> I think, I should start using it too :)
[11:13] <berlinick> And how do I send messages, that are marked with your names?
[11:13] <berlinick> So that you know, it is a message for you. Dialog window?
[11:13] <dr_willis> !tab
[11:13] <Nins_a> #supinternet
[11:13] <dr_willis>  ber<rab> rest of message
[11:13] <theadmin> berlinick: It should be in your history heh
[11:19] <PF> Hi I am trying to run a program called "mangle". The problem is whenever I try to I get the "/usr/bin/env: python2: no such a file or folder", and I am pretty sure all require python libs are in place.
[11:20] <ikonia> PF: type "python2"
[11:21] <berlinick> Thank you, theadmin! :)
[11:21] <berlinick> Tadaaa: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2299250/java-vm-reproducable-sigsegv-on-both-1-6-0-17-and-1-6-0-18-how-to-report
[11:21] <PF> ikonia, it says that command is not present and suggest me only python or python
[11:21] <PF> ikonia, python 3
[11:21] <ikonia> PF: so there is the problem, your program wants a file called "python2" you don't have it
[11:22] <dr_willis> $ python
[11:22] <dr_willis> python       python2.6    python2.7    python3      python3.2    python3.2mu
[11:23] <PF> ikonia, dpkg says python2.7  2.7.1-5ubuntu2. I am bit confused.
[11:23] <dr_willis> change it to call whatever python 2.X yo got perhaps.
[11:23] <dr_willis> i see none called 'python2' here.
[11:23] <dr_willis>  ls -l /usr/bin/python
[11:24] <dr_willis> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2011-10-08 12:50 /usr/bin/python -> python2.7
[11:24] <ActionParsnip> PF: if you run:  file /usr/bin/python2     does it say the file doesn't exist?
[11:25] <PF> ActionParsnip, there is python
[11:25] <PF> python2.6
[11:25] <PF> python2.7
[11:25] <PF>  in /usr/bin
[11:26] <ActionParsnip> PF: ok then try:  sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python2
[11:26] <PF> Should I soft like one of pythons 2.x in /usr/bin to ust python2?
[11:27] <PF> Ah...
[11:29] <pranav> my pdf has an image form, is there a free pdf editor in ubuntu that lets me insert text in inclined position onto existing pdf ?
[11:29] <PF> Thank you gentleman.
[11:29] <PF> Worked like a charm.
[11:29] <ActionParsnip> PF: bit dirty but works :)
[11:29] <PF> Have a good day.
[11:33] <rakesh> hello
[11:33] <pranav> pdf editors in ubuntu ??
[11:33] <pranav> :(
[11:33] <dr_willis> !pdf
[11:33] <dr_willis> never bothered to edit one..
[11:33] <bullgard4> When ripping an audio CD,  how can I in K3b version 2.0.2 change the default value of the target directory from ~ to another value?
[11:34] <is_null> pranav: scribe
[11:34] <pranav> dr_willis: form filling..
[11:34] <dr_willis> I thought ive seen pdf viewers that let you fill in a form then print it.. rarely do that either. :)
[11:34] <dnivra> hello. I am running kubuntu 11.10 on a sony vaio vgn-fw260j. I recently purchased a new charger for my laptop and ever since I started using it, I haven't been able to use the touchpad with the same ease as before-it either freezes or provides delayed response. i have installed the latest updates but the issue still exists. has anyone else faced such as issue?
[11:35] <snowlove> flower
[11:35]  * dr_willis noticed Acrobat reader was a 630 mb install on his windows machine.... (from the add/remove programs stuff)  Thats getting sick. :)
[11:35] <dnivra> i tried the fixes suggested in http://askubuntu.com/questions/70333/touchpad-freezing-on-a-sony-vaio-vpcf22s1e but they weren't of much help.
[11:36] <dr_willis> the charger is affecting the touchpad? that would be.. odd...
[11:36] <dnivra> Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could solve this problem? It's getting really annoying :).
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> dr_willis: you can disable plugins for it and make it load faster :)
[11:36]  * dnivra agrees with dr_willis
[11:37] <dnivra> but that's the only rational explaination I have-moment i unplug the charger, the touchpad works like a charm.
[11:37] <dr_willis> ActionParsnip:  got me a little netbook on clearance. :) was cleaning it out. and amazed at the size of the acrobat reader install.
[11:37] <ActionParsnip> dnivra: usually the boot option:  i8024.nopnp   makes dumb Sony touchpads work
[11:37] <dr_willis> dnivra:  could be more to do with the power saveings sub system. Try the laptop with a disrto like tiny core linux, see if it has the same issues.,
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> dnivra: try:  i8024.reset
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> dnivra: or: irqpoll
[11:40] <dnivra> ActionParsnip: I had stumbled across this forum post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1150077 and it suggested 4 options i8024.reset, i8024.nomux, i8042.nopnp and i8042.noloop. I tried supplying all four and it still didn't work.
[11:40] <dr_willis> it may be it needs one of the 4 :)
[11:40] <brontosaurusrex> how to use mplayer to have fullscreen playback over multiple screens?
[11:40] <dnivra> i assumed that if that had to work, then the touchpad shouldn't work at all. but well mine works when running on battery and sometimes when charging.
[11:41] <pranav> snowlove: what flower :O
[11:41] <dr_willis> brontosaurusrex:  you playing a wide screen movie and you want it to scretch across 2 monitors?
[11:41] <dnivra> and it was working perfectly till i got this charger so I am guessing it's the charger.
[11:42] <dnivra> dr_willis: i am on a low bandwidth connection and so do not have access to any iso's to create a live cd.
[11:42] <dr_willis> dnivra:  tiny core linux = 10 to 35mb :)
[11:42] <brontosaurusrex> dr_willis, actually 2 projectors and i need synced video on both, so i will edit it into one clip and then separate again on playback time, thats the idea at least
[11:43] <dnivra> dr_willis: oh! a GUI comes in that size?
[11:43] <dr_willis> dnivra:  yes.
[11:43] <dr_willis> its a good testing disrto.
[11:43] <dnivra> ActionParsnip: you mentioned something about irqpoll?
[11:43] <dnivra> dr_willis: downloading.
[11:43] <dr_willis> sounds to me like its a known bug with the sony laoptops touchpad.
[11:44] <dr_willis> i dont even know what i8042 is :)
[11:45] <dnivra> dr_willis: i just came across it in a blog post :D. and it's tinycore not multi-core or micro-core right? just thought I'd confirm.
[11:46] <Madkiss> hm. it appears that Ubuntu 11.10 is very very slow on my IBM Thinkpad x121e, esp. when it comes to installing new packages
[11:46] <Madkiss> is that a known problem in any way?
[11:47] <dnivra> i came across another solution:http://www.cranked.me/2008/05/how-to-disable-touchpad-while-typing-in.html to "disable touchpad while typing". is this xorg.conf file correct http://paste.kde.org/157598/? I tried this but my display stopped working so thought I'd confirm before I try it again.
[11:48] <dnivra> dr_willis: it's enough if I run a tiny core live usb right? and I can create one using unetbootin?
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> dnivra: yes, try it as a boot option
[11:49] <dr_willis> dnivra:  yes it should work with unetbootin i belive
[11:49] <ActionParsnip> tinycore is sweeeeeet
[11:49] <dr_willis> its handy.
[11:50] <TimothyA> may I ask why ubuntu does not respect sysctl.conf parameters?
[11:50] <dnivra> ActionParsnip: boot option as in specifying GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="irqpoll" in /etc/default/grub?
[11:50] <AndIrc_> hello there. I got a problem with my Ubuntu. it doesn't start and in recovery mode shows this error img443.imageshack.us/content_round.php?page=done&l=img443/3622/20111211123924726mo.jpg
[11:50] <TimothyA> I've set "kernel.panic = 10" but the system refused to reboot
[11:50] <dr_willis> TimothyA:  every time ive edited sysctrl.conf its worked.    but i  disabled other things.
[11:50] <ActionParsnip> dnivra: yes, if you want no plymouth boot screen
[11:50] <TimothyA> dr_willis: well, it doesn't seem to work here
[11:50] <TimothyA> it just sat at the kernel panic screen for 10 hours
[11:51] <TimothyA> before tech support woke up to manually cycle the server
[11:51] <dr_willis> cant say ive ever tested the kernek panic option.
[11:51] <dr_willis> rarely have kernel panics...
[11:51] <dnivra> ActionParsnip: sorry but you lost me on the last one :D.
[11:51] <TimothyA> I have a kernel panic every day on this machine
[11:51] <dr_willis> If the kernel pannics i have to wonder how its even able to reset itself.
[11:51] <TimothyA> and I Can't find the source of it
[11:52] <AndIrc_> can you help me?
[11:52] <TimothyA> where does it store the kernel panic message?
[11:52] <dr_willis> AndIrc_:  you may want to poste a tinyurl of that long url.
[11:52] <TimothyA> WHERE
[11:53] <dr_willis> or summarize the error message.
[11:53] <ActionParsnip> dnivra: if you only have: irqpoll   instead of:  quiet splash irqpoll    you will not get a plymouth boot screen, you will see the bootup text

[11:54] <TimothyA> okay, so ubuntu does not log kernel panics? awesome
[11:54] <dnivra> ActionParsnip: Ah okay. slightly clearer now. by plymouth you are referring to GUI right?
[11:55] <dr_willis> AndIrc_:  IO error is normally some hardware faliure
[11:55] <dnivra> right off to test both suggestions. Thanks for your help ActionParsnip and dr_willis. Be back soon!
[11:56] <dr_willis> AndIrc_:  looks like sda6 is failing, or has major issues.
[11:57] <TimothyA> no? no kernel panic logging support in ubuntu?
[11:57] <TimothyA> don't make me switch to windows, ffs
[11:58] <dr_willis> TimothyA:  ranting about it wont help.
[11:58] <AndIrc_> what can I do? I tried fsck but Ubuntu continues to work badly
[11:58] <dr_willis> if no one in here knows.. then we dont know.
[11:58] <TimothyA> dr_willis: apparently asking for weeks on end trying to get this problem resolved doesn't either
[11:58] <MonkeyDust> there should be a !rant-bot
[11:58] <TimothyA> I would have thought this would be common knowledge on how to log/find out kernel panics
[11:58] <dr_willis> AndIrc_:  if the hd is failing - then i suggest making backups and using a new hd,
[11:58] <TimothyA> since it happens so goddamn often
[11:59] <AndIrc_> the laptop is 4 months old!
[11:59] <dr_willis> AndIrc_:  id reformat the fs, and check it with whatever tools you can find.
[11:59] <TimothyA> server is barely 1 month old and it has had 184 kernel panics to date
[11:59] <dr_willis> AndIrc_:  the fact its 4 mo old dosent matter. ive hadn brand new hd's fail.
[11:59] <MonkeyDust> TimothyA  i've never had a kernel panic, so it is not common
[11:59] <dr_willis> Only kernel panics ive had are on currupted boot media.
[12:00] <MonkeyDust> maybe you're doing something wrong
[12:00] <dr_willis> or flakey hardware
[12:00] <HQRaja> Very frequent kernel panics might be an indication of a blonde kernel
[12:00] <TimothyA> dr_willis: it happens on 8 different servers that I have since last month
[12:00] <TimothyA> in 3 different datacenters
[12:00] <MonkeyDust> then it must be you
[12:00] <TimothyA> I don't see how as the setup is completely different on each server
[12:01] <AndIrc_> what can I do for now?
[12:01] <dr_willis> AndIrc_:  dont use that partition perhaps?
[12:01] <dr_willis> AndIrc_:  or try backing it up. reformating it.
[12:01] <dr_willis> and restoreing the data to it.
[12:02] <AndIrc_> ok thnx
[12:07] <dnivra> ActionParsnip: irqpoll didn't help: edited the grub entry just before booting and added irqpool along with quite splash.
[12:08] <dnivra> dr_willis: i tried tiny core linux live. pretty neat BTW. and the issue exists in it as well.
[12:10] <karboh> Hi, ubuntu live cd and installation works fine, but when rebooting after install I only get a blinking underscore
[12:10] <karboh> and I don't even get to grub
[12:11] <karboh> I tried pressing shift to enter grub, didn't work
[12:11] <mark_> Hi Anyone here?
[12:11] <Sidewinder1> karboh, Did you md5sum the ISO image, prior to burning it at the SLOWEST speed?
[12:11] <Techdude101> kerboh: Sounds like grub either hasn't been installed properly or installed to the wrong drive
[12:11] <mark_> I can't stand the new menu on ubuntu, is there any way to go back?
[12:12] <MonkeyDust> !nounity| mark_
[12:12] <karboh> Sidewinder1: no, I did not. Do you think that could be a problem even though the whole installation worked?
[12:13] <dr_willis> mark_:  check out gnome-shell or the various annoying fallback/failsafe modes.
[12:13] <dnivra> dr_willis: ActionParsnip: Any suggestions to fix the frozen touchpad?
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> and please don't start ranting
[12:13] <Sidewinder1> karboh, Perhaps, how do you know that the installation worked, if ti won't even boot?
[12:13] <dr_willis> mark_:  theres numerous guides on tweaking unity (and gnome0shell) on the webupd8 and askubuntu.com sites
[12:13] <mark_> hmm, is that something I run inside ubuntu or is that the list that comes up when booting?
[12:13] <Sidewinder1> it, even.
[12:14] <karboh> Sidewinder1: well, good point. But at least it gets to the point where it says that everything is done, and I just have to reboot
[12:14] <dr_willis> mark_:  differnt desktiopos at the login screen you pick
[12:15] <Sidewinder1> karboh, It's easy enough to do, after the fact..
[12:15] <Techdude101> karboh: You could boot to the live cd again and select repair on startup (if that's an option)
[12:15] <Sidewinder1> !md5sum | karboh
[12:15] <Sidewinder1> !hashes | karboh
[12:15] <ajin1> has the first ubuntu-bug been resolved?
[12:16] <berlinick> Sorry, guys, I was away for a while. Did anyone eventually reply to my question? Have I missed anything?
[12:16] <dr_willis> berlinick:  i imagine we dont even rember what the question was..
[12:16] <raidgh0st> Installing Ubuntu on a external usb3 harddrive. Would i see a diff from using a internal drive and the usb3 external drive (when it comes to speed)
[12:16] <MonkeyDust> ajin1  windows is bug #1
[12:16] <karboh> Sidewinder1, ubottu, thanks, I'll try that and burn a new  disc
[12:16] <berlinick> Hihi :)
[12:16] <ActionParsnip> but #1 is a joke
[12:16] <dr_willis> raidgh0st:  usb3's are fast.. but im not sure they are internal sata speed fast.. yet...
[12:16] <Sidewinder1> karboh, My pleasure, and good luck!
[12:17] <berlinick> How do I switch Java environment from server to client mode?
[12:17] <dr_willis> berlinick:  check on askubuntu.com or in #java perhaps?
[12:17] <raidgh0st> Then it seems like i have to find a tool to shrink the ntfs ssd drive, so i get some of the ssd space for ubuntu.
[12:17] <raidgh0st> Dont know if knoppix has a tool to resize
[12:17] <berlinick> Oh, OK, thanks!
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: are you running windows 7?
[12:18] <dr_willis> raidgh0st:  gparted normally can do that. but win7 has its own tools to resize ntfs that i find are a lot faster
[12:18] <berlinick> Is #java on this node?
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> berlinick: yes
[12:18] <raidgh0st> ActionParsnip: I bought a brand builded computer. and windows was pre installed
[12:18] <berlinick> Cool, thanks!
[12:18] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: win7 can resize ntfs
[12:18] <MonkeyDust> without data loss?
[12:18] <ajin1> MonkeyDust: yes, MS is the biggest bug
[12:19] <dr_willis> raidgh0st:  i run linux from a normal usb2 32gb flash drive.. its slower then internal..but works fine for normal daily ussage
[12:19] <dr_willis> Win7 can somehow resize ntfs while in use.. no data loss. and at decent speeds.
[12:19] <raidgh0st> And since last time i checked. Ubuntu doesnt handle windows games (like my girlfriend likes to play)
[12:19] <dr_willis> raidgh0st:  'wine' handles windows applications.
[12:19] <raidgh0st> like sims ?
[12:19] <dr_willis> raidgh0st:  i run dozens of games. depends on teh game
[12:19] <luleq> resize while in use? you mean partition without OS running on it
[12:19] <dr_willis> !appdb  | raidgh0st
[12:20] <nikita__> #java: Channel is invite only :(
[12:20] <dr_willis> nikita__:  more likely it said 'regiestered nicks only'
[12:20] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: it plays a few, some run amazingly
[12:20] <raidgh0st> I tried to install sims3 in wine and the only thing i didnt get working was the soundcard.
[12:20] <berlinick> nikita__ was me
[12:20] <raidgh0st> And of course the graphic was like hell itself.
[12:20] <dr_willis> wine is constantly improveing. so such issues may be fixed by now.
[12:21] <raidgh0st> For 16GB of ram. How much swap should i add?
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: did you check the appdb for fixes, or to see if it even works?
[12:21] <erkerone> resize while in use, use diskmgmt and slide the sizes
[12:21] <berlinick> dr_willis: Nope, exactly that expression.
[12:21] <raidgh0st> ActionParsnip: its a while since i checked last time.
[12:21] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: if you need hibernate and suspend, 16Gb, otherwise I wouldn't bother
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: I'd check again, it may work ok now
[12:22] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=9732   seems to run well
[12:22] <raidgh0st> since most of the programs/games takes place in /usr . I think i can handle to not have a very big /home
[12:22] <LemonAid> Where would one place a man page if one were to create one? I`m guessing in a directory that`s in the manpath, but where exactly?
[12:23] <raidgh0st> 40GB for /Usr should be plenty
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: if you use wine, the apps are installed in $HOME/.wine
[12:24] <dnivra> I am running Kubuntu 11.10 on a sony vaio vgn-fw 260j. I purchased a new charger for my laptop and now while charging I am unable to use my touchpad-it freezes, somtimes behaves erratically etc. It works fine when the battery is discharging. I tried adding irqpoll to the boot options as well fixes suggested in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1150077. they didn't work. i tried booting tinycore linux live and the issue exists there as well. how can I
[12:24] <dnivra> fix this issue with my touchpad?
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: if its just for normal desktop browsing and word processing etc, then 10Gb for / and the rest for /home is how I'd do it :)
[12:24] <dr_willis> MANDATORY_MANPATH                       /usr/local/share/man
[12:24] <dr_willis> LemonAid:   /usr/local/share/man   :) from the /etc/manpath.config  config...
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> dnivra: do you have the latest BIOS?
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> dnivra: are there bugs reported?
[12:25] <A_J> !info mc'
[12:25] <A_J> !info mc
[12:25] <LemonAid> dr_willis, thanx :)
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> dnivra: could try:  acpi=off   boot option
[12:25] <raidgh0st> ActionParsnip: So if i install the ubuntu games that is included in ubuntu
[12:25] <A_J> !mc
[12:25] <raidgh0st> it does not use /home/user
[12:25] <A_J> ActionParsnip \o/ dude can you help me
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: games from repos and PPAs go into the system as you expect, wine apps go into the users home folder
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> A_J: ask the channel
[12:26] <dr_willis> raidgh0st:  WINE uses stuff in ~/.wine - system isntalled ubuntu games via the package manager go in / where needed.
[12:26] <A_J> tried that, your more awesome than the channel ActionParsnip. :P
[12:26] <raidgh0st> A_J is flirting:p
[12:27] <dr_willis> or theres games that you can dowlonad that go in the /home/usersname
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> A_J: please repost your question
[12:27] <A_J> well okie, i wnat to see my progress in % during using mv. ActionParsnip and dr_willis.
[12:27] <TimothyA> screw it
[12:27] <dr_willis> A_J:  :) ive seen mv/cp variants that give such infl also.
[12:27]  * TimothyA uninstalls ubuntu and installs windows ME
[12:27] <TimothyA> that's more stable
[12:27] <dr_willis> tieinv:  we dont care.
[12:27] <dr_willis> oops
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> A_J: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/mv-with-progress-bar-428705/
[12:27] <theadmin> dr_willis: Bit too late, but yeah, who cares.
[12:27] <A_J> windows ME stable rofl
[12:28] <theadmin> A_J: Indeed is more stable than SOME releases of Ubuntu, though, especially alpha ones
[12:28] <dnivra> how can I find the current BIOS version?
[12:28] <ActionParsnip> A_J: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=983288#p983288
[12:29] <dr_willis> given the lack of details he gave. and his ranting more then explaining..  well.... hes beter off calling MS support.
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> dnivra: manufacturers site
[12:29] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: yay ArchLinux :P
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> A_J: bnasically use rsync instead of cp
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: huh?
[12:29] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Nah nothing xD I'm just always glad to see the name of my distro in the channels of other distros
[12:29] <dnivra> oh sorry let me rephrase that. I meant the BIOS version I am running. any way besides reboot?
[12:29] <theadmin> dnivra: Nah sorry
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: cp and rsync are universal so the forums help all :D
[12:30] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Yeah... I also find it rather funny how they call their forums "BBS"
[12:30] <A_J> ActionParsnip umm, rsync. okie looks difficult. i'll use the second link you gave me
[12:30] <raidgh0st> Game Pack for Ubuntu 11 - 156 Games- 5 DVDs (20GB)
[12:30] <raidgh0st> wonder where this games gonna be installed.
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: yowser
[12:31] <theadmin> raidgh0st: /usr/share/games/ most normally.
[12:31] <theadmin> raidgh0st: Or, well, maybe /opt
[12:31] <dr_willis> where is that even comming from raidgh0st ?
[12:31] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: if you add the playdeb ppa, you can install games using their site (or software centre)
[12:31] <raidgh0st> dr_willis: torrenttracker.
[12:32] <dr_willis> raidgh0st:  then its very likely full of pirates stuff
[12:32] <dr_willis> so we have no idea what it puts where
[12:32] <berlinick> Uhm... How can I get invited to the #java channel?
[12:32] <jrib> !register | berlinick
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> berlinick: you need to identify (register your nick first)
[12:33] <berlinick> OK
[12:34] <A_J> ActionParsnip can you gimme a one line command using rsync
[12:36] <raidgh0st> So /swap 16GB / 4GB /USR 40 /Var 4 /Tmp 1GB and the rest home?
[12:36] <tsaknorris> hmm i cannot get latest sun java to work.  i made a symbolic link  libnpjp2.so at /usr/lib/firefox-8.0/plugins/
[12:36] <Benkinooby> A_J use rsync with the --progress option
[12:36] <MonkeyDust> A_J  i haven't followed, i use rsync for backups, is that what you're looking for
[12:36] <A_J> MonkeyDust move files with a progress files
[12:37] <MonkeyDust> you can also use 'watch' to see progression
[12:37] <A_J> rsync File_path_file1 File_path_file2 --progress ?
[12:37] <Benkinooby> A_J, are you new to linux?
[12:37] <Sidewinder1> A_J, You might have a look at "Grsync" it's a GUI for rsync.
[12:37] <dr_willis> watch ls -l /path/to/file
[12:37]  * Benkinooby checks out watch
[12:37] <A_J> yes Benkinooby. Sidewinder1 using via trtminal
[12:37] <dtcrshr> hello fellas, i bought a new vga card, but ubuntu kept the maximun resolution as 1024x768. both my old and new cards are ati, do i have to reinstall the driver or something?
[12:37] <A_J> terminal / ssh*
[12:37] <rigasetiadi> hei im back, anyone can help to change my chromium's user agent???
[12:38] <Sidewinder1> A_J, Server or desktop?
[12:38] <A_J> desktop Sidewinder1.
[12:38] <nassosdim> dtcrshr: if it is a different card yes
[12:38] <dr_willis> gcp - graphical cp ---> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=316707
[12:38] <theadmin> A_J: alias cp='rsync -r -v --progress' ; alias mv='rsync -r -v --progress --remove-sent-files' # Add to your bashrc, restart all terminals
[12:38] <d4nt3> dtcrshr, you might have to look at your xorg.conf file
[12:38] <theadmin> A_J: Simple as that
[12:38] <A_J> thanks theadmin.
[12:39] <Benkinooby> A_J, so if you want to work command line only (wich might be a bit of a pain for beginners - but i honor your effort) there are some good ressources... the man pages!
[12:39] <A_J> so it will work for move also as mv is a cp and a rm
[12:39] <Benkinooby> A_J, do you know about man pages?
[12:39] <A_J> no Benkinooby
[12:39] <rigasetiadi> hei how bout to change my user agents
[12:39] <theadmin> A_J: Well yes, those two work
[12:39] <d4nt3> A_J, just type man man
[12:39] <theadmin> rigasetiadi: There are browser extensions for that, and Opera has that function built-in
[12:39] <d4nt3> A_J, and read that
[12:40] <Sidewinder1> A_J, Well, then, you could use Grsync if you chose to do so; it may be a little easier to understand the syntax/options and, once you select what you want to do, it lists the actual rsync command, complete with syntax. "Tis your choice.
[12:40] <Benkinooby> A_J, the man pages provide additional documentation for commands. so in case you don't know a command you usually can type "command --help" to get a short help or "man command". that will open the man page, wich provides an extensive explaination of the commmand sytax and its emaning
[12:40] <Benkinooby> menaing
[12:40] <dr_willis> http://chris-lamb.co.uk/2008/01/24/can-you-get-cp-to-give-a-progress-bar-like-wget/
[12:41] <rigasetiadi> im use the chromium browser and I ask for that browser
[12:41] <A_J> theadmin does the command have to be sudo ?
[12:42] <xtremox>  /part
[12:42] <erkerone> I need to create a bootable usb from a cd iso of ipcop 2.0.0 installer
[12:42] <theadmin> A_J: You can't really use sudo with aliases
[12:42] <theadmin> rigasetiadi: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/djflhoibgkdhkhhcedjiklpkjnoahfmg?hl=en-US
[12:42] <Benkinooby> A_J,  within the man pages, wich can be very huge, you can use the search function. call the search function with a slash '/' then enter your search phrase and press enter. with 'n' and 'N'you can search forwards and backwards through the found expressions
[12:42] <theadmin> rigasetiadi: Ton of others around as well... You should search the webstore lol
[12:42]  * dtcrshr reading the threa
[12:42] <ActionParsnip> erkerone: try unetbootin
[12:42] <Benkinooby> A_J, you can leave the man pages with the key 'q'
[12:43] <A_J> hmm, thank you Benkinooby i'll go through it
[12:43] <rigasetiadi> hehehe thank ill try I have lot of webstore, but none
[12:43] <tsaknorris> usually there hasn't been any problem to install java plugin.....but now :/
[12:43] <raidgh0st> ActionParsnip: since you asked where the games was from: http://ualinux.com/en/windows-download/category/6-gamepack
[12:43] <A_J> theadmin # Add to your bashrc, what does this mean
[12:44] <erkerone> actionparsnip: apt get unetbootin?
[12:44] <theadmin> A_J: This means you add that to your bashrc...
[12:44] <A_J> i'm not sure what that means theadmin sorry :(
[12:44] <theadmin> A_J: There's a file in your home folder called ".bashrc", open that in ANY text editor and add paste it at the end of file
[12:45] <Benkinooby> A_J, you have a file in your home folder called bashrc. it is hidden, so it is named .bashrc
[12:45] <theadmin> A_J: That file is normally hidden, though
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> erkerone: sudo apt-get install unetbootin
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: all open source games?
[12:47] <xtremox> how is the name of new package of irsii?
[12:47] <erkerone> ActionParsnip: Looks good , I'm off to try it out, thanks
[12:47] <ActionParsnip> !info irssi | xtremox
[12:47] <xtremox> padman is a good game ^^
[12:47] <Sidewinder1> Benkinooby, Interesting; I have "Show hidden files", ticked, but I have no .bashrc in my home dir. Is that perhaps because I haven't put any scripts there? Shouldn't there be some there, by default?
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> xtremox: irssi, not irsii
[12:48] <A_J> theadmin do i need to add the last ' in : alias cp='rsync -r -v --progress' ; alias mv='rsync -r -v --progress --remove-sent-files'
[12:48] <xtremox> ok thanks ^^
[12:48] <The_BROS> what Gnome gives less load to prosessor and memory: Gnome 2 or Gnome 3 (Classic) ?
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> raidgh0st: I recommend urban terror if you like counterstrike stylee games
[12:48] <Benkinooby> A_J, so, jsut to clear things up, what theadmin suggest is that you set aliases. aliases will replace a command with an other command. so your short 'cp' will become 'rsync -r -v --progress'. in the end you also could type the wholre rsync stuff manually, but 'cp' is more conveninet
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> The_BROS: If you want low CPU desktop, use XFCE of LXDE
[12:48] <theadmin> A_J: Yes, you could have just copied the entire line. Also, I suggest using "rcp" and "rmv" instead of "cp" and "mv" for alias names because they won't break scripts this way
[12:49] <A_J> ooh like alieses in irssi. got it
 but how about Gnome 2 and Gnome 3 Classic?
[12:49] <Benkinooby> Sidewinder1, there has to be that file. use the command line and type 'ls ~/.bashrc' and see what comes
[12:49] <A_J> done theadmin. is the nano text editor how do i save ?
[12:50] <Benkinooby> Sidewinder1, better use 'cat ~/.bashrc' to see waht's inside
[12:50] <Benkinooby> what's
[12:50] <Sidewinder1> Benkinooby, Thanx; trying..
[12:50] <Benkinooby> Sidewinder1, so is there something coming?
[12:51] <theadmin> A_J: The shortcuts are all at the bottom... Ctrl-O
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> The_BROS: Gnome2 is not developed upsteam so I don't recommend you use it, let me check resource use for both
[12:51] <blackbit> why does Xorg have to run as root?
[12:51] <theadmin> blackbit: Huh? It does not
[12:51] <A_J> thanks theadmin for your help. i'll try it out and let you know
 do u mean that Gnome 2 is not supported?
[12:52] <blackbit> ... I mean, default install, ubuntu 11.10
[12:52] <theadmin> blackbit: Oh, well, that's because X is started by lightdm and that runs as root
[12:53] <blackbit> any workaround to make Xorg run as non-root? I don't think its a good idea to keep it running as root, security-wise
[12:53] <theadmin> blackbit: It's safe enough, but workaround? Don't use a display manager
 I am using 11.04 with Gnome and now I wanna change system to 11.10 with gnome classic. Will it be better?
[12:53] <Sidewinder1> Benkinooby, Yes, both of those commands gave output.. So why, then doesn't it show up in nautilus, with "show hidden files", 'on'?
[12:53] <theadmin> blackbit: xinit manually from your user :D
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> The_BROS: its not developed now which is why Ubuntu switched to Gnome 3
[12:54] <Sidewinder1> Benkinooby, All of the other .directories show up.
[12:54] <Benkinooby> Sidewinder1, did you click the refresh button in nautilus when you're looking at the home directory?
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> The_BROS: how do you mean 'better'?
[12:55] <niklasfi> hello, my geany crashes, when i click open file. what logfile do i need to look in to get info about why this is happening
[12:55] <|PuLi|> hi, if i install win7 (sda) and ubuntu (sdb) dual boot, do i install boot loader to sda or sdb?
 'better' is 'faster' and 'without problems'
[12:55] <Benkinooby> The_BROS, use fluxbox XD
[12:55] <theadmin> niklasfi: Geany doesn't log anything, run it from a terminal and watch the output
[12:55] <Benkinooby> The_BROS, or Xfce or LXde
[12:55] <theadmin> XFCE rocks, a really cute de
[12:56] <theadmin> Feels like gnome2
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> The_BROS: not sure about problems, works fine here, all I can say is try it
[12:56] <Sidewinder1> Benkinooby, Yes, hit refresh, it goes from .azureus to .cache; curious, 10.04, if that makes any difference, although it shouldn't. Hmm..
[12:56] <Benkinooby> theadmin, +1... although it can't beat fluxbox muhahaha
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> The_BROS: there are other desktops if you don't like it. XFCE smells and feels like Gnome 2
[12:56] <theadmin> Benkinooby: Openbox can though :P
[12:56] <ActionParsnip> LXDE + openbox :)
[12:57] <niklasfi> theadmin: ok. http://paste.ubuntu.com/766816/
[12:57] <theadmin> niklasfi: Um, that doesn't say anything, open that file...
[12:57] <niklasfi> theadmin: which file?
[12:57] <Benkinooby> The_BROS, i think, as many suggested now, you'll be happy with Xfce... i think it's better supported on 11.10
[12:57] <theadmin> niklasfi: "geany.log", apparently, not sure where the hell it's supposed to be
[12:57] <Benkinooby> than gnome2
[12:57] <niklasfi> theadmin: ohh sorry i did echo "..." | instead of cat |
 when Ubuntu released 11.10 I have Installed it, but I dont like Unity and Gnome shell didnt work at my hardware. Therefore I come back to 11.04 with Gnome 2. Now I am thinking to try Gnome Classic in 11.10.
[12:58] <niklasfi> theadmin: did not want to troll you ... really sorry for that http://paste.ubuntu.com/766819/
[12:58] <theadmin> niklasfi: lol that's ok
[12:58] <theadmin> niklasfi: No offense taken
[12:59] <theadmin> niklasfi: Bah, some GTK issue, no idea honestly, happens sometimes, can't do much about it -_-
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> The_BROS: install Xubuntu and you can install and run all your gnome apps
[12:59] <niklasfi> theadmin: do you know where i can report that error?
[12:59] <theadmin> niklasfi: Run "ubuntu-bug geany"
 U mean I like it more than Gnome 3 Classic?
[13:00] <theadmin> The_BROS: XFCE is more like GNOME 2.
[13:00] <Ibyss> Ubuntu bug command, Wow.
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> The_BROS: I use lxde mostly but don't mind unity shell these days, it's not bad
[13:00] <__Robot__> hi, does anyone know why i keep getting the message "unable to find a medium containing a live file system" with ubuntu? im using a macbook pro and 11.10 bootable on cd and usb. and i have refit installed.
[13:00] <niklasfi> theadmin: do you know what package that is in?
[13:01] <theadmin> niklasfi: ubuntu-bug? No, sorry, should come preinstalled
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> The_BROS: could also try KDE
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> The_BROS: there are lots to choose frmo
 thanks. I am using Cairo docks. And I am just searching desktop for it. Wanna try Gnome 3 Classic with cairo
[13:06] <szal> ikonia: that was even after 6.06 went EOL
[13:06] <ActionParsnip> __Robot__: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?
[13:08] <theadmin> The_BROS: Cairo works on any desktop, XFCE inclusive.
[13:08] <uggla> which is the standard password for ubuntu when you do a clean install?
[13:09] <ikonia> uggla: there isn't one
[13:09] <ikonia> uggla: you create a user and password when you do the install
[13:09] <uggla> ok thanks :)
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> uggla: a 'default password' in any OS would be a massive security hole
[13:11] <dfavara> hi all
[13:11] <dfavara> quick question
[13:11] <worminator> hi seul
[13:11] <dfavara> i have 2 eth, eth0 and eth1
[13:12] <dfavara> eth0 should be <IP_ADDRESS> gw <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:12] <dfavara> while eth1 should be <IP_ADDRESS> gw <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:12] <theadmin> dfavara: Your problem is?
[13:13] <theadmin> dfavara: ifconfig eth0 <IP_ADDRESS> && route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS> dev eth0 # Repeat for eth1, run as root.
[13:13] <dfavara> if i setup eth0 i can ping 10.10.10.x
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: could have prefixed with sudo, and you wouldn't need to add 'run as root' ;)
[13:13] <Morten_> Hi, can anyone recommend a GUI program for batch renaming files?
[13:14] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Then I'd have to prefix both commands with sudo... meh
[13:14] <dfavara> theadmin, that means that all the traffic from 10.10.10.x will use that gw
[13:14] <dfavara> while all the traffic from 192.168.x.x will use <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> Morten_: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/08/batch-rename-files-in-ubuntu-with-renamer/
[13:14] <theadmin> dfavara: Yeps
[13:14] <dfavara> let's try
[13:14] <Morten_> Ah super, thanks ActionParsnip :)
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> Morten_: al I did was use duckduckgo and it was the top result.....
[13:15] <theadmin> lol
[13:15]  * ActionParsnip thinks internet searching rocks
[13:15] <theadmin> !google | ActionParsnip
[13:16] <ActionParsnip> didn't say that :)
[13:16] <niklasfi> theadmin: it seems to be this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+2.0/+bug/878933
[13:16] <theadmin> niklasfi: Well, what do you expect, that I'd fix it? lol, just say that it affects you too (there's a button for that) and wait for a fix
[13:16] <niklasfi> theadmin: no certainly not
[13:16] <niklasfi> just in case you meet someone with the same problem
[13:17] <theadmin> niklasfi: Ah thanks
[13:17]  * theadmin is pretty certain she won't remember this URL, though
[13:18] <niklasfi> theadmin: what does "triaged" mean?
[13:18] <theadmin> niklasfi: Wish I'd know lol
[13:18] <theadmin> niklasfi: Likely "a fix is being worked at"
[13:19] <niklasfi> theadmin: still searching for an editor that does not crash when opening a file. geany and gedit both do
[13:19] <theadmin> niklasfi: vim, nano :P
[13:19] <oCean> niklasfi: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HelpingWithBugs#Bug_triage
[13:19] <niklasfi> theadmin: vim is always an option
[13:19] <dfavara> theadmin, is this correct ?
[13:19] <dfavara> http://nopaste.info/70d32650c7.html
[13:20] <theadmin> dfavara: This looks weird, they are somehow both for eth0
[13:20] <dfavara> theadmin, i need to keep separated the two traffic
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> niklasfi: its from the french for 'to pick' or 'cull' according to a search I just did
[13:20] <dfavara> theadmin, you mean ?
[13:20] <theadmin> dfavara: Bah, "man route", it shouldn't be too hard to figure out... Sorry, I'm lazy
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> niklasfi: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/triage
[13:20] <fr33r1d3> nano is great!
[13:20] <ActionParsnip> fr33r1d3: +1
[13:21] <niklasfi> ActionParsnip: just looked for a translation to german, but i did not find any
[13:21] <theadmin> vim > emacs > nano > joe, imo
[13:22] <dfavara> theadmin, should i end up with two default gw ?
[13:23] <Sidewinder1> Benkinooby, So, do you have any idea why .bashrc doesn't show up in nautilus, nor does it appear in the gnome search in the home directory? This is really puzzling me.
[13:23] <theadmin> dfavara: No, I'm now actually pretty sure the commands I gave weren't quite right... Try reading the manuals, sorry, I'm not enough bored to do so
[13:24]  * theadmin configures her networking via netcfg, dfavara, check it out, it's an awesome tool: http://projects.archlinux.org/netcfg.git
[13:25] <Benkinooby> Sidewinder1, but it exists, as you can see it with the commandline?
[13:25] <blackbit> Sidewinder1, are hidden files set to be shown?
[13:26] <Benkinooby> Sidewinder1, maybe there is an extra option for system files?
[13:26] <Benkinooby> in nautilus
[13:26] <blackbit> it does not show up simply because its a hidden file
[13:26] <dfavara> theadmin, to be honest i'd love to figure out hoew to get what i need from route
[13:26] <dfavara> man is not clear IMO
[13:26] <blackbit> you have to enable 'view hidden files' in nautilus menu
[13:27] <Sidewinder1> I have "show hidden files "ticked" and all the other .directories show up.
[13:27] <theadmin> dfavara: I see, well heh, netcfg is brilliant -- command-line (you edit the configurations via simple files in /etc/network.d/), works with ALL the netowrking types (even weird ones such as pppoe) and really understandable
[13:28] <Sidewinder1> Benkinooby, blackbit This really has me stumpped. :-(
[13:28] <dfavara> theadmin, i can find it with apt-cache search
[13:28]  * ActionParsnip uses wicd-curses :)
[13:28] <theadmin> !find netcfg
[13:28] <theadmin> umm... no that's not it
[13:29] <ActionParsnip> theadmin: if you run:  dpkg -S netcfg   it should say what provides it
[13:29] <blackbit> Sidewinder1, sure you didn't delete it?
[13:29] <Benkinooby> Sidewinder1, ok, i see it in nautlius
[13:29] <A_J> theadmin it worked | dude thanks a lot
[13:30] <Sidewinder1> Benkinooby, And after I "catted" .bashrc, there were plenty of entries in it and the ~$ ls ~/.bashrc, lists it in /home?... Hmm..
[13:30] <Benkinooby> Sidewinder1, click any file in your home folder and then start typing '.bashrc'
[13:30] <theadmin> dfavara: Sorry, you have to build it from source, but it doesn't depend on anything that doesn't come with Ubuntu so just sudo apt-get install build-essential && wget http://projects.archlinux.org/netcfg.git/snapshot/netcfg-2.6.8.tar.gz -O netcfg.tgz && mkdir -p /tmp/netcfg.install.dir && sudo tar xf netcfg.tgz && cd /tmp/netcfg.install.dir && make && sudo make install # This should install it
[13:30] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: It's not in Ubuntu, sorry >.< It's a rather new project
[13:30] <theadmin> ActionParsnip: Less than a year old
[13:31] <theadmin> Oops, wrong command
[13:31] <theadmin> dfavara: sudo apt-get install build-essential && wget http://projects.archlinux.org/netcfg.git/snapshot/netcfg-2.6.8.tar.gz -O netcfg.tgz && mkdir -p /tmp/netcfg.install.dir && sudo tar xf netcfg.tgz -C /tmp/netcfg.install.dir/ && cd /tmp/netcfg.install.dir && make && sudo make install
[13:31] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[13:32] <dennis> Hello
[13:32] <Sidewinder1> Benkinooby, THAT'S IT! It was a file, not a directory.  Thank you and blackbit too!
[13:32] <blackbit> Sidewinder1, please to help you ;)
[13:33]  * Sidewinder1 Goes back to doing something constructive, like banging his head against the wall. :D
[13:33] <dennis> does anybody knows if is possible to arrange icons in the launcher? It seems to me as if the launcher is lock or something...
[13:34] <dfavara> anyone knows why when i type route i see: Destionation : x.x.x.x and Gateway * ?
[13:34] <dfavara> i think i should add something like:
[13:34] <dfavara> <IP_ADDRESS> with gateway <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:34] <Sidewinder1> Just feel free to say "Duh", to me at any time..
[13:34] <Benkinooby> Sidewinder1, you're welcome
[13:34] <dfavara> but if i add two default gateway it stops to work on eth0
[13:34] <dfavara> i'd need to ping 10.10.10.x from eth0 and 192.168.x.x from eth1
[13:34] <dfavara> and i really can't figure out how to do
[13:36] <jesss> ciao
[13:36] <jesss> !list
[13:36] <BarkingFish> i know there is a way (certainly in Kubuntu) to restrict each connection to a single ethernet interface - I don't know if it's possible on Ubuntu though, dfavara
[13:36] <dfavara> it has to
[13:36] <dfavara> i'm using ssh
[13:36] <dfavara> now GUI
[13:37] <BarkingFish> I'm just saying, I don't know if it can be done - I use the KDE version of ubuntu, so my interface setup and stuff is different.
[13:37] <ActionParsnip> BarkingFish: the network manager is still the same though
[13:38] <dfavara> i do not use any desktop manager
[13:38] <ActionParsnip> !away > rymate1234|away
[13:38] <dfavara> i'm on cmd line
[13:38] <dfavara> it's an ubuntu server
[13:38] <BarkingFish> ActionParsnip: thanks, I didn't realise the nm interface was the same.
[13:39] <Sidewinder1> !it > jesss
[13:40] <BarkingFish> uhoh... Is ubottu ok for people in /query ?  I've just asked it something in a pm, and it's not responding.
[13:40] <erle-> how can i tell firefox to delete history older than 30 days?
[13:40] <ActionParsnip> BarkingFish: how do you mean 'each connection' in your question?
[13:41] <oCean> BarkingFish: works fine for me
[13:41] <ActionParsnip> BarkingFish: ubottu responded ok here to:  /msg ubottu !test
[13:41] <BarkingFish> ActionParsnip: like if you have 2 wifi connections, you can set each to connect to a different network, by restricting the interface it connects to.
[13:42] <BarkingFish> ActionParsnip: I have one wifi connection which is set only to connect through wlan0, and another which only connects through wlan1
[13:42] <ActionParsnip> BarkingFish: sure, i guess you could use the interfaces file if no GUI app can do it, try wicd and wifi-radar if network manager doesn't do it
[13:42] <BarkingFish> this is what I figured that dfavara needs to split his connections, so he pings one of the addresses only through eth0, and sends a different connection through eth1
[13:43] <BarkingFish> ActionParsnip: no, I was asking about dfavara;'s problem
[13:43] <dfavara> BarkingFish, right
[13:43] <ActionParsnip> BarkingFish: oic
[13:43] <BarkingFish> that's what I thought we could do to fix it, but he's on a cmd line, not using the GUI interface
[13:43] <ModFather> Hi There and Good day to all, is any method to restrict my FTP connections and set some IP's that i want to have access on my FTP server? without touch iptables ?
[13:44] <BarkingFish> and I don't know if it's possible to restrict to a specific network interface, through the command line, ActionParsnip
[13:44] <ActionParsnip> ModFather: you'll need iptables or ufw
[13:44] <BarkingFish> !server > BarkingFish
[13:44] <ModFather> yes 1 method is from iptables but i dont want to touch them
[13:44] <JamesMiddendorff> what would cause my power manager icon to show 50% on my laptop battery but it is fully charged?
[13:44] <ModFather> is any other method ? what exactly is Ufw?
[13:45] <ActionParsnip> !ufw
[13:45] <ModFather> okey thanks alot
[13:45] <ModFather> have a nice continue guys
[13:45] <BarkingFish> dfavara, I just discovered there is actually a channel for the ubuntu server - #ubuntu-server  - You might get some ideas there.
[13:46] <dfavara> Barbariandude, i'm pretty sure
[13:46] <dfavara> i bet it has to be done using route cmd
[13:46] <dfavara> BarkingFish, i'm there
[13:46] <dfavara> but no answers :/
[13:46] <BarkingFish> ah, ok
[13:46] <dnalor> Trouble with sound: I own an hp pavillion g7. audio comes out from one speaker. even though when i reboot to windows both of them work. any advice ?
[13:47] <Barbariandude> dfavara, was like "lolwut I'm popular?" nope :P
[13:48] <BarkingFish> Hm. I think i'm going to use one of my alternate nicks, to save tabcomplete fail and pinging people who aren't wanting pings :)
[13:48] <BarkingFish> one moment
[13:48] <zxiest> Hey everybody :-)

[13:49] <Gentoo64> zxiest, run top in terminal
[13:49] <dnalor> zxiest use the built in top. or simply install atop for more details
[13:49] <Gentoo64> or htop for color and more details
[13:49] <dnalor> i stand corrected by Gentoo64 it's htop.  atop shows drive usage

[13:50] <SMS> I am not getting the loader which shows xubuntu loading at startup
[13:51] <BoxOfHamsters> dnalor: It may not be your speakers, it may be the linux driver for your sound card which is causing this.
[13:51] <dnalor> BoxOfHamsters any advice on how to troubleshoot ?
[13:51] <Gentoo64> dnalor, check alsamixer first, and the sound setting in the system settings screen

[13:51] <werner_> Hey.

[13:52] <SMS> Yeah , but the monitor is blank all the time its starts only when xdm shows the login window my graphics card is nvidia
[13:52] <Gentoo64> dnalor, what is the sound issue anyway? you havent said

[13:53] <BoxOfHamsters> Gentoo64: yes he did :)  Only gets sound out of one speaker on an HP Pavilion g7, both speakers work in windows :)
[13:53] <dnalor> Gentoo64 it's even. and when i move it to the side that isnt working. i hear screeching sound
[13:53] <Gentoo64> ah ok i didnt see that
[13:53] <A_J> perhaps alsamixer.
[13:53] <BoxOfHamsters> dnalor: could you open a terminal please, and type   lspci | grep Audio

[13:54] <ubuntu> guys, how to install to Unalocated partition? I try to install but it says no root file system selected but I can't select anything
[13:54] <dnalor> ubuntu , using gparted, intiialize the partition.
[13:55] <Gentoo64> ubuntu, you need to format it as ext4 or whatever
[13:55] <Gentoo64> then choose / as the mount point
[13:55] <ubuntu> but U cant
[13:55] <Gentoo64> yeah you can
[13:55] <Gentoo64> ubuntus installer comes with gparted
[13:55] <ubuntu> i cant
[13:55] <BoxOfHamsters> dnalor: thanks - could you run the same command again, but in this format please -   lscpi -n | grep Audio
[13:55] <Gentoo64> why not?
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> ubuntu: part of the install is to partition, if you select to do 'something else' you can setup the partitions in the free space manually
[13:56] <BoxOfHamsters> I want to see the numeric ID of the sound device, so I can check it and see what it should be using.
[13:56] <SMS> @ActionParsnio I have nvidia... i had installed nvidia-173 package but xserver was not working had to uninstall it
[13:56] <dnalor> BoxOfHamsters No Output

[13:56] <SMS> Sorry ActionParsnip..
[13:57] <BoxOfHamsters> dnalor: hm
[13:57] <dnalor> ActionParsnip he needs additional space for /boot
[13:57] <Gentoo64> dnalor, you dont need /boot
[13:57] <Gentoo64> or anything but /
[13:57] <Gentoo64> well its optional
[13:57] <BoxOfHamsters> dnalor: Sorry, that was my fault, I gave you the wrong command.  It should be lspci -nn | grep Audio
[13:57] <BoxOfHamsters> sorry
[13:58] <BoxOfHamsters> that gives you the text name and the 8 digit vendor / product ID

[13:58] <happygolucky> ram in a 1:1 ratio is to my knowledge the rule of thumb for servers
[13:58] <dnalor> BoxoOfHamsters thank you!
[13:58] <herwig> Obwohl ich bei der Aktualisierung oder weiterer Software mein Passwort richtig eingebe wird dieses nicht akzeptiert.  Also, #ubuntu-de.
[13:59] <blackbit> 1:1 ram:swap is not always valid, of course. If you have 512mb of ram, you need way more than 512mb of swap. If you have 32gb of ram, you need way less than 32gb of swap (unless you want to use the suspend to disk feature)
[14:00] <Gentoo64> blackbit, you can use whatever swap you like btw
[14:00] <BoxOfHamsters> dnalor: I think I just found your problem.  There's an issue with that card on some laptops through ubuntu - I found a bug relating to that card, albeit on a different version (this is on Lucid)
[14:00] <WHAT_UP> Hi. Why would a cronjob running some script that runs ffmpeg fail with error code 32512 (at the point at which ffmpeg is called) whereas it works when I run it directly from the terminal in any directory?
[14:00] <dnalor> since space isn't an issue. and i usse SSD drive. i usually double the RAM amount for swap
[14:00] <BoxOfHamsters> dnalor: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/792233
[14:01] <Gentoo64> dnalor, its up to you. normall space is an issue on ssds though lol
[14:01] <happygolucky> i meant desktop, server is twice, again to the best of my recollection
[14:01] <user82> does anyone know a software that can automatically place photos on a page? i want to make a photo-book with around 16-25 photos/page?
[14:01] <BoxOfHamsters> it seems it does something with the internal speakers - in your case, you're getting sound through one, dnalor - have you tried external speakers, plugged into the headphone socket?
[14:01] <dnalor> Gentoo64: hehe ya but i only use SSD for OS so space isnt an issue since all my files are on another drive
[14:02] <dnalor> BoxOfHamsters:  correct, headset works perfectly fine
[14:02] <mongy> user82, gthumb has a contact sheet plugin, which might do what you want.. I'm not sure but worth a look.  Does shotwell nto have such a thing also?
[14:02] <BoxOfHamsters> yep. Hold on then, I suspect that it lists a fix, dnalor
[14:02] <Iznougoud> Are you in the middle of something, or is this a good time to pose a question? I'm trying to resolve a SSH/SFTP-issue here..
[14:03] <user82> mongy, will give it a try. thanks
[14:03] <WHAT_UP> ah, got it. the $PATH variable is different
[14:03] <dr_willis> state the issue and lets see who can help Iznougoud .
[14:03] <herwig> #ubuntu-de ich habe nach der Einstellung als Keyboard deutsch Deutschland eingegeben. Später nach der nachinstallation eines Programmes scheinbar auf ein falsches deutsches Keyboard umgestellt. auch nachdem ich das geändert habe funktioniert mein Passwort nicht einmal wenn ich die Aktualisierung bestätigen möchte.  Mache ich nur etwas falsch, oder sollte ich besser die Installation nochmal machen?
[14:03] <Myrtti> herwig: /join #ubuntu-de
[14:04] <herwig> wie geht das?
[14:04] <llutz>  /join #ubuntu-de  eintippen  herwig
[14:04] <BoxOfHamsters> ActionParsnip: Could you help me, to help dnalor please?  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/792233 - I need to be able to give that to dnalor - but it's for lucid.  How do I find out if that still is available to oneiric?
[14:04] <dnalor> Iznougoud:  i'm no expert but it's worth it to post your Q so every1 can post his bits n peices
[14:04] <ActionParsnip> user82: like a web based photo album?
[14:05] <BoxOfHamsters> dnalor: Are you actually using oneiric (11.10)?
[14:05] <BoxOfHamsters> never mind, I can see you're not.
[14:05] <dnalor> BoxOfHamsters:  correct
[14:05] <BoxOfHamsters> you are?
[14:05] <dnalor> BoxOfHamsters:  excuse me, DISTRIB_RELEASE=11.04
[14:05] <BoxOfHamsters> odd... your lsb release says you're using Natty (11.04)
[14:05] <mongy> user82, the web album plugin might be more your thing in gthumb............
[14:05] <mukund> Hi i am using xubuntu 11.10 i am not getting startup loader , Its blank..the monitor is off until the login window comes up..Can any1 help?
[14:06] <BoxOfHamsters> :)
[14:06] <dnalor> BoxOfHamsters:  yep correct, i had to reinstall since i hated unity
[14:06] <whitekidney> dnalor: Unity can be disabled with like three clicks.
[14:06] <Iznougoud> Alright then: I'm running Ubuntu Server 11.10, using Webmin and remote shell. I would also, however, like to be able to log in using Total Commander and SFTP - this making fle handling a lot easier. Total Commander will establish contact with the server on port 21 and port 22, using the same credentials as my SSH-user. But it always ends with a "connection refused". So I take it it's a configuration issue at the server end somehow.
[14:06] <dnalor> whitekidney:  i'm running classic ubuntu on 11:04 .. works fine with me :)
[14:07] <BoxOfHamsters> ah, ok then dnalor - this might help you then.  If you read the bug report I linked you to, it says that apparently the sound works normally since 11.04
[14:07] <BoxOfHamsters> dnalor, this is from the bug: Sound works fine with Ubuntu 11.04, so installing linux-image-generic-lts-backport-natty package from ppa:kernel-ppa also fixes this problem.
[14:07] <dnalor> whitekidney:  i was under the impression that you cannot disable unity on 11.10 . you only have look alike and u loose the notification options
[14:07] <arunkumar413> hi, i've installed record my desktop but i'm unable to record the sound from the system (instead of microphone)
[14:07] <happygolucky> user82: are you looking to backup photos? dropbox is free and self automated, a lot of it can be made public but not sure how they handle photo displaying.. if they do at all
[14:09] <dnalor> BoxOfHamsters:  so mainly following this: http://ubuntuguide.net/ubuntu-11-04-upgrade-linux-kernel-to-2-6-39-0 should fix things ?
[14:09] <whitekidney> dnalor: wait what, you can't?
[14:09] <whitekidney> dnalor: that sounds weird..
[14:10] <BoxOfHamsters> dnalor: No, it says in the bug report that using the official updates doesn't fix the problem, you need to update the kernel using a fix from a personal packaging archive
[14:10] <BoxOfHamsters> dnalor: "Installing official linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic package doesn't fix this problem "
[14:11] <OlaRune> if i have a domain pointed to a router with NAT, and behind that NAT is a server which i want to run irssi on, is there any way i can use the domain name as irssi vhost behind NAT+
[14:11] <OlaRune> ?
[14:11] <BoxOfHamsters> I stand corrected, dnalor - that was the right page. I apologise.
[14:11] <BoxOfHamsters> I'm clearly not completely "with it" today :(
[14:11] <dnalor> BoxOfHamsters:  hmm seems i'll have to wait it out. unless ! is there a way of running classic ubuntu on 11:10 ?
[14:12] <BoxOfHamsters> dnalor: You can go ahead and use the information that you had on that webpage, it is correct
[14:13] <BoxOfHamsters> If you have the kernel-ppa in your setup, that's where this bugfix is too
[14:13] <dnalor> BoxOfHamsters:  checking headers list it only shows linux-headers-2.6.38 there's no .39 :\
[14:14] <jost> hi
[14:14] <BoxOfHamsters> dnalor: updated your sources?
[14:14] <dnalor> BoxOfHamsters:  affirmative
[14:14] <BoxOfHamsters> hm
[14:14] <BoxOfHamsters> well this is confusing then. It's supposed to be in that ppa...
[14:15] <warris> visa
[14:15] <mukund> Hi i am using xubuntu 11.10 i am not getting startup loader , Its blank..the monitor is off until the login window comes up..Can any1 help?
[14:15] <Guest25071> olaa
[14:15] <Guest25071> esto k es
[14:16] <user82> ActionParsnip and happygolucky i wanted to order a hardware photo book A4 and did not want to insert all 800 photos manually. mongy the gthumb thing is what i was looking for. thanks@all
[14:16] <dnalor> BoxOfHamsters:  how can i check if that source is enabled
[14:16] <Gentoo64> mukund, you mean just the splash screen?
[14:17] <mukund> @Gentoo64 yaa like this http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2278/2110264836_3ee72db8f9.jpg
[14:18] <RobotSasquatch> quit
[14:19] <mukund> I was not sure if its called splash screen as even after you login .. in kde you can see a splash screen..which shows all applications loading... It can be confusing..So i said the startup loader is not coming up :)
[14:19] <Atharva> mukund : Maharashtra ?
[14:20] <mukund> @Atharva AP , but marathi.
[14:20] <mukund> @Gentoo64 What could be the problem?
[14:20] <Gentoo64> i dont know
[14:21] <Atharva> mukund : Asa ahe ka... please see my pm?
[14:21] <mukund> Where to look into this? any idea which application is responsible for this?
[14:21] <mukund> I am using xubuntu
[14:22] <Gentoo64> you can see the login screen though yes?
[14:22] <mukund> yup
[14:22] <exiff> I just saw that i have many open ports on my computer, how do i manage ports in ubuntu?
[14:22] <Gentoo64> mukund, i wouldnt worry about it then :)
[14:22] <mukund> haha :D
[14:22] <mukund> Yeah but i am curious to know
[14:22] <Gentoo64> exiff, ufw is the easiest way
[14:22] <Gentoo64> mukund, i really have no idea why its doing that :s
[14:22] <mukund> please help
[14:23] <mukund> I had earlier installed nvidia drivers
[14:23] <Gentoo64> exiff, i take it you opened ports on your router (to your local ip) ? as ubuntus firewall is disabled by default
[14:24] <mongy> mukund, with my setup I only see the boot splash for like 1 second before login screen appears, then I found out after installing cryptsetup (used to make encrypted partitions) it then showed me the boot splash from start to finish.
[14:24] <Gentoo64> mukund, its probably something to do with the gpu drivers yes, you could try removing them and see if it works
[14:24] <happygolucky> exiff: are you sitting behind a router or direct connection
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> mukund: if you drop the @ symbol, highlighting will work properly
[14:24] <ActionParsnip> @mukund see how this is not highlighted ;)
[14:24] <mukund> xdm has some problems with nvidia i guess , it just wouldnt start (Xserver) had to uninstall nvidia and delete xorg.conf and restart x server so that default xorg file comes..since then no startup loader
[14:24] <exiff> Im not on ubuntu right now (im on my phone).. where can i learn about configuring it?
[14:25] <Gentoo64> exiff, just do sudo ufw enable
[14:25] <Gentoo64> then open the ports you want
[14:25] <rasmusth> guys I installed airfoilspeakers on 11.10 and I get te following error
[14:25] <Gentoo64> or, close them in the router
[14:25] <rasmusth> Missing method System.Reflection.PropertyInfo::op_Inequality(PropertyInfo,PropertyInfo) in assembly /usr/lib/mono/2.0/mscorlib.dll
[14:25] <exiff> Im behind a router on my phone
[14:25] <mukund> @ActionParsnip ok thanks i will do that
[14:25] <jost> May someone please give me some hint how to find out if there are any files opened via smb? I know of a solution using lsof, but lost the info and can't get it right on my own...
[14:25] <exiff> Will do that, thanks Gentoo64
[14:25] <ActionParsnip> rasmusth: are there any bugs reported?
[14:26] <Gentoo64> exiff, sudo ufw enable, then sudo ufw allow 22 for eg
[14:26] <rasmusth> ActionParsnip: no I can't find any, I believe it is because I have to force it to run with 4.0
[14:26] <Gentoo64> exiff, i take it you have no access to your router
[14:26] <exiff> I dont
[14:27] <Gentoo64> ok
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> rasmusth: 4.0 version of what?
[14:27] <rasmusth> Mono
[14:27] <exiff> Wait... i do
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> !info mono
[14:27] <exiff> I manage it with my ubuntu pc
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> hmm
[14:27] <Gentoo64> exiff, ok well just close the ports you dont need in the router
[14:27] <Gentoo64> but what ones are open?
[14:27] <rasmusth> !info mono-devel
[14:27] <Gentoo64> nothing should be listening on default ubuntu install
[14:27] <mukund> @mongy On my box login screen doesnt come for say 7-8 seconds..even without the application you used :)
[14:28] <Gentoo64> mukund, ActionParsnip just said about the @ sign lol
[14:28] <exiff> Not default. . I installed many net-goin programs
[14:28] <Gentoo64> exiff, ok
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> rasmusth: does http://kevin.colyar.net/2009/12/fixing-airfoil-speakers-for-ubuntu/   help?
[14:28] <rasmusth> ActionParsnip: no thats some old thing
[14:28] <A_J> how would i saftely remove an external device via terminal
[14:29] <Gentoo64> A_J, umount
[14:29] <A_J> umont /media/DRIVENAME Gentoo64 ?
[14:29] <mongy> mukund, tried the nomodeset boot parameter?
[14:29] <Gentoo64> yes
[14:29] <exiff> 19 open ports... several of them unknown services
[14:29] <ActionParsnip> rasmusth: instead of the app, you can use ssh + x forwarding
[14:29] <A_J> thanks mate :D
[14:29] <Gentoo64> exiff, weird
[14:29] <mukund> mongy, no what is that?
[14:30] <rasmusth> ActionParsnip: http://mono.1490590.n4.nabble.com/Method-not-found-System-Threading-Monitor-Enter-td3857390.html
[14:30] <exiff> Very
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> rasmusth: the app will show on the client screen but the sound will come out of the server system
[14:30] <Gentoo64> exiff, what does the command (as root) ss -l
[14:30] <rasmusth> this is my problem but I dont understand how to fix it
[14:30] <Gentoo64> say?
[14:30] <mongy> !nomodeset > mukund
[14:30] <exiff> 5900 is usually vnc,right?
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> rasmusth: or do you have an apple tv thing?
[14:30] <rasmusth> Mac Mini
[14:30] <Gentoo64> exiff, idk
[14:30] <pinguy> how do i get externL GPS to work with linux ?
[14:30] <ActionParsnip> rasmusth: unlucky
[14:30] <rasmusth> why
[14:30] <rasmusth> it has ubuntu
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> exiff: for tcp, yes. You can use 5800 for udp
[14:31] <pinguy> des any one know?
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> rasmusth: cool, then use the X forwarding
[14:31] <rasmusth> ActionParsnip: I want a nice application instead
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> pinguy: what is the output of:  lsb_release -sc
[14:31] <pinguy> hmm, ill check..
[14:31] <ActionParsnip> rasmusth: its the same app as you'd use if you were playing it locally
[14:32] <exiff> Some output i dont understand.. i used network tools on another computer to scan for open ports
[14:32] <fris> anyone know of a console program to convert pdf to epub, i know calibre for gui, but looking for console only
[14:32] <ActionParsnip> rasmusth: it just displays on the client system, but is running on the server, so the sound will come out of the remote box you connect to
[14:32] <Gentoo64> exiff, what does ss-l say
[14:32] <Gentoo64> ss -l
[14:32] <Gentoo64> it will show listening services
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> fris:
[14:33] <pinguy> ActionParsnip, : natty
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> fris: http://epub2pdf.com/
[14:34] <exiff> On some of them it shows the service names.. such as gnunet,nfs,ssh.. others just the port number
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> pinguy: sweet, just curious. If you use:  lsusb    you will get an 8 character hex ID you can use to fnd guides
[14:34] <Gentoo64> exiff, yeah some are local
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> fris: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1491373
[14:35] <exiff> But ya. I'll manage the ports on me router.. thanks. ^^,... now.. router manual, whered i put it?
[14:35] <Gentoo64> exiff, you shouldnt need one, its pretty straightforward
[14:35] <fris> doing it the other way ;) pdf to epub, not epub to pdf
[14:35] <Gentoo64> just login, and find the port forwardign section
[14:35] <pinguy> ActionParsnip, cool, so i take a search engine and check the net... any specific search term you can recommend ?
[14:36] <mukund> mongy, i have followed your link and have made changes...will get back after a reboot :)
[14:36] <_cb> When I click on displays Ubuntu 11.10 shows unknown monitor. How do I add my monitor?
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> pinguy: IDyouget ubuntu
[14:36] <pinguy> ActionParsnip,  actually it is an HTC phone with windows mobile running gpsgate and or gps2blue
[14:36] <WanderingEnder> Suggestions for a web based ssh/consolr for LAN use. No java-based, this has to be AJAX or something similar.
[14:37] <pinguy> ActionParsnip,  so the search 0bb4:0b2f ubuntu is not likely to lead me to gps information
[14:37] <exiff> I found it (i think)... thanks again Gentoo64. ^^,
[14:38] <mongy> Wanderin1Ender, there is that html5 ssh project, very cool last time I looked..  I forget the name
[14:38] <exiff> Ciao. o/
[14:38] <ActionParsnip> WanderingEnder: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/firessh-%E2%80%93-ssh-in-a-browser-firefox-addon.html
[14:38] <Gentoo64> exiff, cool. make sure you're not using DMZ (sounds like you might be)
[14:38] <pinguy> i like the transparent terminals :)
[14:38] <exiff> If i even knew what dmz is...
[14:38] <pinguy> makes for easy reading while you type
[14:38] <Gentoo64> exiff, basically lets any port open
[14:39] <exiff> Isnt that a rapper?... no thats dmx
[14:39] <Gentoo64> yes thats dmx
[14:39] <Gentoo64> lol
[14:39] <mukund> mongy, I tried your link .. did not work :(
[14:39] <blackbit> exiff, dmz = demilitarized zone
[14:39] <blackbit> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMZ_(computing)
[14:39] <exiff> Thanks blackbit
[14:40] <Gentoo64> exiff, it shouldnt be enabled by default. who normally sets up your router?
[14:40] <Gentoo64> the ports must have been allowed by someone
[14:40] <fly80> hello
[14:40] <exiff> my isp
[14:40] <WanderingEnder> ActionParsnip: Awesome, thanks. This is for that Motorola Webtop as a client, so its limited in what it can do.
[14:40] <pinguy> ok, so any one know how to use gpsgate or gps2blue with linux ?
[14:40] <Gentoo64> exiff, oh ok
[14:40] <Gentoo64> exiff, not sure what they did. normally all ports are closed unless you specially open them
[14:41] <pinguy> i have a motorola atrix 4g. is there something i should know about it and linux wanderlingender ?
[14:41] <exiff> Theres a section here that has firewall rules... ill just block port by port and see which programs complain..
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> WanderingEnder: simple websearch is all I did
[14:42] <fly80> i have an old laptop (tohiba satellite m33x), someone here suggested to use in grub the option radeon.nomodeset=1, actually worked, but sometimes the display freezes again
[14:42] <exiff> Heuristics
[14:42] <WanderingEnder> ActionParsnip: I was coming up with stuff like ajaxterm and anyterm, myself.
[14:42] <fly80> and more, the mouse doesn't work...
[14:42] <mukund> Hi , just one query has any one faced problems with xdm + nvidia drivers??
[14:43] <pinguy> ok, so any one know how to use gpsgate or gps2blue with linux ?
[14:43] <llutz> pinguy: bind your bt-device with rfcomm to a port (rfcomm bind 0 x:y:a:b:h:i) and run gpsd
[14:43] <fly80> what should I do?
[14:45] <jost> I want to make a machine automatically shutdown when it is not needed, i.e. there is no user interaction and there are no opened files via SMB. How do I find out if there are files opened via SMB?
[14:45] <pinguy> llutz, , so , using usb is not an option ?
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> fly80: is it teh touchpad or a USB mouse?
[14:45] <llutz> pinguy:isn't gps2blue  a pocketpc soft, giving gps to bluetooth?
[14:46] <fly80> ActionParsnip: it is an USB mouse, the touchpad is working
[14:46] <pinguy> llutz, yes it is
[14:46] <llutz> pinguy: so how will you use USB then?
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> jost: does smbstatus help any?
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> fly80: do other USB devices work ok?
[14:47] <fly80> i have no other devices
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> fly80: hmm, are the ports enabled in BIOS?
[14:47] <rasmusth> I am getting the following exception, can anybody help? pastie.org/3000450
[14:47] <pinguy> llutz, thought it would be simpler
[14:47] <jost> ActionParsnip, it seems to work - i hav to go now, but will check that out later. Thanks so far.
[14:47] <fly80> i think so, i checked it yesterday , but I can check again
[14:47] <llutz> pinguy: if your device is giving gps via usb too, try "gpsd -n -N -D4 /dev/ttyUSBx"  (replace x with real device number)
[14:48] <fly80> ActionParsnip: if it's not that... what can be?
[14:48] <pinguy> llutz, i am installing gpsd at the moment. thanks, i will try that after its installed :)
[14:49] <llutz> pinguy: check "dmesg" to get the proper device. when gpsd runs, check for data "telnet localhost 947"
[14:49] <pinguy> xchat does not alow copy :( i will have to use my brain :p
[14:49] <rasmusth> please someone help me :P
[14:49] <llutz> pinguy: err*  "telnet localhost 2947"
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> fly80: tried a different port?
[14:49] <llutz> pinguy: some weeks ago, someone invented something called paper and pen
[14:49] <pinguy> llutz, thanks, im writing all of this down by keyboard ... because xchat is weak :)
[14:49] <ActionParsnip> pinguy: it will, just hold the mouse button down and hit CTRL+C or CTRL+SHIT+C
[14:49] <daz__> evening
[14:50] <fly80> ActionParsnip: yes, i tried all ports
[14:50] <daz__> hammering down here with rain
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> llutz: what is this sorcery you speak of....'pen'? To the ducking stool
[14:50] <Iznougoud> Ah well, this place seems somewhat crowded (and rightfully so). So I'll return later.. :)
[14:51] <fly80> ActionParsnip: i'll try to check on BIOS... maybe it's just that... i hope
[14:51] <llutz> ActionParsnip: lowtech gimmicks
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> fly80: boot without the mouse inserted and log in as normal, then attach the device, wait a few seconds and run:  dmesg | tail; lsb_release -a       and pastebin the content please
[14:51] <daz__> wouldnt it be nice to have voice chat foe a change?
[14:51] <daz__> for
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> llutz: works though, no kernel panics with graphite
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> daz__: irc has worked in text for ages. works well
[14:52] <minirobotu> bella pe tutti
[14:53] <pinguy> llutz, thanks, ctrl+c works... tell me more about this new device "paper and pen" .. is it open source? is it linux compatible ? is it rechargeable ? do i have to pay for a subscription to use it ?
[14:53] <pinguy> O_o
[14:53] <SoulShadow> you m ust use windows, $100 a month
[14:53] <daz__> bangin headache
[14:54] <SoulShadow> takes 12 AA's that die in an hour
[14:54] <pinguy> SoulShadow, forget it  then... windows is bloated puppy droppings :)
[14:55] <pinguy> ill stay wirth gedit :)
[14:55]  * pinguy runs off to configure his gps
[14:56] <llutz> !pm  | Sidewinder1
[14:57] <pinguy> llutz, how do i get the usb device number ?
[14:57] <llutz> pinguy: dmesg
[14:57] <pinguy> thanks
[14:58] <pinguy> oh yeah, you said that already..
[14:58]  * pinguy apologizes
[14:58] <Sidewinder1> llutz, 'Twas ot; thought you might get a chuckle; if I was wrong, my humblest apologies; it'll NEVER happen again, trust me.
[14:59] <lbbef> hi! i'm using ubuntu 11.10
