[00:00] <jetscreamer> thankee all
[00:00] <Gnea> Guest53932: yes, #defocus
[00:00] <Bholzi> you rock acicula, thanks.
[00:00] <DasEi> Guest53932: sure, /list shows, #ubuntu-offtopic ,#defocus..
[00:00] <Guest53932> thx
[00:00] <Drainix> how to limit the amount of bandwidth given to a particular ip address
[00:00] <CaptainJon> shcherbak: actually its opposite, I like my naming in all caps, and i did the password in caps, it works in the software center but it says its wrong in terminal
[00:00] <shcherbak> Guest53932: otherwise check netsplit.de
[00:00] <kun> I'm going to try now :)
[00:00] <lucenut> That what you needed to see Gnea?
[00:00] <kun> thanks!!
[00:00] <Steve973> Gnea i was able to mount it in mac os x, but when i try to ls /Volumes/backup/ it says permission denied
[00:00] <shcherbak> CaptainJon: in what command?
[00:01] <Gnea> Steve973: it's possible that one or more of the flags you have set are restricting too much
[00:01] <kun> see you
[00:01] <Steve973> Gnea any recommendation on flags?
[00:01] <Chipzzz> kun: good luck
[00:01] <Gnea> Steve973: that is, the flags in () after the ip
[00:01] <CaptainJon> shcherbak: su sudo they say its wrong
[00:01] <Drainix> There a channel I can go to, to get help for a not so important matter ?
[00:01] <Gnea> Steve973: not offhand, I'd pull up a manpage and see which each one does
[00:01] <Drainix> I see all urgent requests being answered but not mine :P
[00:02] <Bholzi> after you ls, how do you open one of the directories?
[00:02] <acicula> Drainix: tc
[00:02] <DasEi> Drainix: haven't read, which ?
[00:02] <Drainix> cd name
[00:02] <Drainix> My question was how do I limit the amount of bandwidth I give to a particular ip address
[00:02] <Drainix> Or a particular port either will work
[00:03] <lucenut> Gnea, did that tell you anything? pastebin.com/ziNpK9xu
[00:03] <acicula> Drainix: you can do that with tc afaik
[00:03] <Drainix> whats tc lol
[00:03] <acicula> man tc
[00:03] <nuno_nunes> hi
[00:03] <nuno_nunes> plz help
[00:03] <nuno_nunes> to create this server
[00:03] <DasEi> Drainix:http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/tc.8.html
[00:03] <wo7ke> lol
[00:04] <Gnea> lucenut: still reading it
[00:04] <Gnea> Drainix: Traffic Control
[00:04] <nuno_nunes> i using ubuntu 10.10
[00:04] <shcherbak> CaptainJon: sudo tail /var/log/auth.log does it work?
[00:05] <CaptainJon> shcherbak: yes sir it does
[00:05] <Srebrenica_Junfa> how do i install beardware without upsetting ubuntu?
[00:05] <shcherbak> CaptainJon: so you did command wrong, password is ok.
[00:06] <lucenut> .
[00:06] <Srebrenica_Junfa> how do i uninstall beardware without upsetting ubuntu?
[00:06] <CaptainJon> shcherbak: i thought it was pretty straight forward, type su <enter> it asks for password <password> <enter>
[00:06] <lucenut> I installed 10.10 alongside Windows 7. If I boot to the cd again and do an install will it reinstall over this ubuntu?
[00:07] <shcherbak> CaptainJon: sudo take command or swith so: sudo -s (do not do it) or sodo <command>. DO NOT USE su, please.
[00:07] <fbc_> how do you disable DPMS?
[00:07] <Chipzzz> lucenut: yes
[00:07] <Lint01> lucenut, it depends on partition selection, but boot loader will most likely be overwritten
[00:07] <thieven`> lucenut, it can if you want it to.
[00:07] <CaptainJon> shcherbak: why not just using su makes life easier?
[00:08] <DasEi> Drainix: don't pm; usually you shape on a device, not on an ip
[00:08] <thieven`> CaptainJon, try typing   sudo -i
[00:08] <lucenut> I may have to try a reinstall. But it's happened twice the same! After the updates.
[00:08] <shcherbak> CaptainJon: su is not sudo, make anoter user and su <new user>, but it is not good way. For root use sudo.
[00:08] <thieven`> CaptainJon, that is what you are looking for.
[00:08] <Lint01> lucenut, reinstall what?
[00:09] <lucenut> The first time I thought the thing was hosed. I didn't know it was just the keyboard/mouse.
[00:09] <DasEi> Drainix: it's like a router with nics, you can set borders on
[00:09] <CaptainJon> shcherbak: thieven` thanks
[00:09] <lucenut> Reinstall ubuntu.
[00:09] <Drainix> .. :/
[00:09] <lucenut> Or is there a "repair"?
[00:09] <Drainix> don't understand
[00:09] <thieven`> lucenut, if i was in your situation. i would reinstall.
[00:09] <Drainix> I just want to tell this game not to take more than say 20 kbps up
[00:09] <lucenut> But it's going to happen again when it does the first round of updates.
[00:10] <lucenut> Well, it did twice in a row.
[00:10] <Gnea> lucenut: there's something that you can do to tell if it's even accepting anything from the keyboard
[00:10] <shcherbak> CaptainJon: life easier can make you suffer, do not use root shell, unless you are very clear with task (and yourself)
[00:10] <thieven`> lucenut, oh. that's not good.
[00:10] <lucenut> My guess is it'll happen again the same.
[00:10] <Gnea> lucenut: but you'll need to install procinfo first
[00:10] <Chipzzz> lucenut: unplug it from the net and it won't do the updates
[00:10] <m1ke> i'm trying to figure out why the NTFS hard drive (label = New Volume) isn't showing up on df -h .. http://dpaste.com/311297/  .. i see it when i do sudo blkid -g && sudo blkid
[00:10] <lucenut> But there must be a way to recover use of keyboard/mouse? Driver issues?
[00:10] <Gnea> lucenut: install procinfo
[00:11] <Lint01> using su is much more secure then giving everyone root access via sudo
[00:11] <thieven`> CaptainJon, yeah, what shcherbak said is a good point. i have hardly ever needed to have root shell.
[00:11] <Gnea> Lint01:
[00:11] <CaptainJon> shcherbak: okay so just use sudo under my user?
[00:11] <Gnea> Lint01: *wrong*
[00:11] <acicula> m1ke: is it mounted?
[00:11] <Gnea> !sudo | Lint01
[00:11] <lucenut> Gnea, just do that in the software center?
[00:11] <Gnea> Lint01: you can easily restrict who goes in /etc/sudoers
[00:11] <m1ke> i guess it isnt mounted
[00:11] <Gnea> lucenut: or the commandline
[00:11] <shcherbak> CaptainJon: safest and resonably easy way.
[00:11] <acicula> m1ke: indeed its not mounted, so df does not report it
[00:12] <CaptainJon> shcherbak: okay thanks
[00:12] <DasEi> Drainix: that's another way then per ip, that's per app, let me check if trickle is still on the repos
[00:12] <thieven`> waht is the difference between gksudo and gksu?   i would think no difference?
[00:12] <meway> How do I mount an external hardrive in ubuntu server edition?
[00:12] <Lint01> meway, udisks?
[00:12] <meway> Lint01: whats that?
[00:12] <DasEi> !info trickle | Drainix
[00:12] <acicula> m1ke: if you read the man page it says that without arguments given it will show mounted disks only
[00:12] <Gnea> !server | meway
[00:13] <shcherbak> thieven`: gksu and gksudo have same manpage.
[00:13] <Lint01> meway, utility for mounting devices
[00:13] <meway> Gnea: thanks that does not help
[00:13] <DasEi> Drainix: this you can use to give app-specific shaping
[00:13] <thieven`> thanks shcherbak
[00:13] <Gnea> meway: #ubuntu-server is a better place to ask, thanks
[00:13] <meway> Lint01: a command I should try?
[00:13] <meway> Gnea now thats helpfull thanks ^_^
[00:14] <Bholzi> How are you able to be in sudo perpetually?
[00:14] <Bholzi> cmd?
[00:14] <Gnea> meway: I think he's referring to udisks, which is an X application
[00:14] <shcherbak> Bholzi: sudo echo 1 && sudo echo 2
[00:14] <meway> Gnea: I have no idea
[00:14] <Lint01> meway, udisks --mount <device string here>
[00:14] <thebigkick> just installed ubuntu 10.10.  sooooo excited!
[00:14] <rusty149> meway: You can mount applications the same way as in the desktop version
[00:15] <Gnea> meway: wouldn't worry about it, he doesn't seem to know much about what he's talking about
[00:15] <meway> MrDudle o.o
[00:15] <DasEi> Bholzi: once issued, sudo won't ask again for pass for ~15 in, else can also login as root, though not recommened
[00:15] <rusty149> meway: soory, hard drives not apps
[00:15] <Gnea> Lint01: do you know what ubuntu server is?
[00:15] <thebigkick> 10.10 is so sick!
[00:15] <thieven`> Bholzi, try typing sudo -i
[00:15] <thebigkick> anyone stream movies to there ps3?
[00:15] <shcherbak> thieven`: It is not good to give root to all, mostly not needed
[00:16] <meway> rusty149: um by plugging it in? because if thats the case where would I locate the drive in the termina
[00:16] <toenail> using ubu studio maverick meerkat im trying to share a folder over my network to  a windows pc and having issues saying its unable to mount on my end when i browse the network folder
[00:16] <DasEi> Drainix: getting by ?
[00:16] <rusty149> meway: is it a usb drive?
[00:16] <meway> rusty149: yes
[00:16] <Bholzi> thieven: thank you!
[00:16] <Bholzi> shcherbak: Thank you!
[00:16] <lucenut> Gnea, procinfo installed. Now what?
[00:16] <DasEi> !samba | toenail
[00:17] <rusty149> meway: usb drives do not automount in ubuntu server by deault
[00:17] <thieven`> Bholzi, i would do that, and then do my commands that i need to do, and then get right out of that mode. i know what you mean though. i very rarely ever need to do taht command.
[00:17] <meway> rusty149: ok so what do I do?
[00:17] <thieven`> sorry, that was meant for shcherbak
[00:17] <meway> rusty149: to make it autoconnect by defualt
[00:17] <rusty149> meway: if the drive will be connected all the time, then I suggest adding it to fstab.
[00:18] <Bholzi> thieven: ha! ive never used friggen linux let alone the command,
[00:18] <good_intentions> how can I install old aRts package in ubuntu, I need it for compiling software
[00:18] <thieven`> Bholzi, no problem. they made ubuntu so you don't have to use the command line if yyou do not want to.
[00:18] <rusty149> meway: if you do want automount for different usb drives then use, usbmount
[00:18] <Bops> hi
[00:19] <shcherbak> thieven`: Keep in mind that often you speak to less expirienced that you, so root shell IS recipie for disarter. Do not offer this command.
[00:19] <Gnea> lucenut: run it in a terminal like this:  procinfo -n.5
[00:20] <Gnea> lucenut: wait a bit and watch the numbers
[00:20] <meway> rusty149: I will be using multiple drives so wich should I use?
[00:20] <Gnea> lucenut: irq 1 should have i8042, that will be your keyboard
[00:20] <Zed`> Hai - How can I 'rm -r' all directories created on a given date?
[00:20] <gwhipple> how do i get my wireless to automatically connect when i login without having to enter a password every time?
[00:20] <rusty149> meway: usbmount, to install do, sudo apt-get install usbmount
[00:21] <Gnea> lucenut: the number next to it shouldn't be moving at all, but if try to type anything on the keyboard, the number should increment
[00:21] <urzu> Hey all, trying to install unr on usb drive and it just hangs after i hit "proceed"
[00:21] <urzu> anyone else have this error?
[00:21] <Gnea> lucenut: if the number doesn't exist nor increment, there's a hardware problem
[00:21] <Chipzzz> good_intentions: look here: http://pkgs.org/package/arts maybe you can compile it for your system
[00:21] <shcherbak> Zed`: yes, ls -l grepped and piped to rm -r
[00:21] <bastidrazor> gwhipple: in the top panel right click nm-applet and check Automatically connect, also set the password for the wireless profile
[00:21] <DasEi> Drainix: I'm logging off soon, need more help /w trickle ?
[00:21] <lucenut> OK, I'll try that Gnea.
[00:22] <Sengoku> hey
[00:22] <Zed`> shcherbak: thanks
[00:22] <^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_> how do i stop pee running down my legs
[00:22] <meway> rusty149: that means I got to move it and conect it to internet >_<
[00:22] <meway> rusty149: ok thanks brb
[00:22] <bastidrazor> gwhipple: right click nm-applet > edit connections > Wireless > edit (the profile you create)  inside that go through each tab you need to enter information
[00:22] <Gnea> !ot | ^_^_^_^_^_^_^_^_
[00:23] <Sengoku> Can someone help me/point me to a resource that'll help me install video drivers for my (Mobility X1300) on Maverick? Thanks
[00:23] <rusty149> meway: drives will appear in /media/
[00:23] <urzu> Could anyone help me with an install hang?
[00:23] <Gnea> !anyone | urzu
[00:23] <bastidrazor> Sengoku: i believe the radeon drive will work.. in synaptic search for radeon.. click to install it then you'll probably need to relog, that i'm unsure of.
[00:24] <ether-boy> just installed ubuntu 10.10, bluetooth not working, everything else is fine on this dell inspiron laptop consisting of Broadcom 4312 wire less half-mini card. error encountered is "Bluez daemon not running"
[00:24] <toenail> ok thanks i knew it had something to do with samba
[00:24] <good_intentions> Chipzzz: thanks
[00:24] <Sengoku> bastidrazor: trying
[00:24] <ether-boy> tried everything from the ubuntuforums, nothing was of any help
[00:24] <Chipzzz> good_intentions: glad to help
[00:24] <Bops> I was just trying Ubuntu Netbook 10.10 and the font on the launcher is illegible. If I open an app (by blindly searching for Firefox and clicking the icon) it looks fine, but the launcher is illegible. Also if I mouse over any item other than the "Start" button (Ubuntu circle), there's a video crash followed by an application crash. Googling shows a few people with the same problem but the solution they discuss ("put it in 2d mode") is not explained.
[00:25] <urzu> OK, well im having an issue installing off a flash drive. it boots up fine but hangs when i hit proceed. it appears to be loading but never moves to the next screen
[00:25] <Sengoku> bastidrazor: I think that's already installed
[00:25] <gwhipple>  bastidrazor: did that ... could it be because it is a wpa security network that i have to enter password
[00:25] <bastidrazor> gwhipple: no, yo ushould be able to save your password
[00:25] <DasEi> Sengoku: there is a approach by builddpkg, but I haven't tried it, so it's your own risk
[00:25] <bastidrazor> Sengoku: then you should be all set.
[00:26] <Sengoku> DasEi, bastidrazor: Segmentation fault, when i run fglrxinfo
[00:26] <rusty149> ether-boy: did you read this, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[00:26] <Sengoku> DasEi: link?
[00:26] <DasEi> Sengoku: second, looking
[00:26] <Sengoku> DasEi: cheers!
[00:27] <duhw> I need help...ubuntu 10.10 keeps crashing what do i do?
[00:27] <toenail> i have samba installed allready how do i know if its running i know sounds dumb
[00:28] <urzu> anyone else having issues with installing unr off of flashdrive.
[00:28] <rusty149> toenail: sudo status smbd
[00:28] <wrd> toenail: there is a process table in linux - i think gnome system viewer lets you have a look at it
[00:28] <Bops> urzu: what's your error?
[00:28] <ether-boy> rusty149:  tried already, not working for me. Evrything was reinstalled, the " Bluetooth Preferences" window says : Bluetooth disabled, though bluetooth is enabled
[00:28] <Bops> urzu: if it's "unknown keyword in config" then yeah I had that 2 minutes ago
[00:29] <duhw> I need help...ubuntu 10.10 keeps crashing what do i do?
[00:29] <Chipzzz> duhw: what kind of hardware are you running:
[00:29] <shcherbak> wrd: you mean ps, top, or htop?
[00:29] <jasono> toenail rpm -qa | grep samba and if nothing is returned then samba is not installed
[00:29] <duhw> Chipzzz, what do you mean?
[00:29] <Sengoku> Also, does fullscreen flash-based players crash the plugin (in browser)?
[00:29] <urzu> bops: no it happens after i hit proceed it just shows the loading symbol and hangs
[00:29] <Sengoku> for anyone else
[00:29] <bastidrazor> jasono: wrong distro
[00:29] <deutsch> I use as host OS Vista Ultimate, and as guest- Linux Mint in VirtualBox; I mean its the best way man make experiments with Linux
[00:29] <toenail> rpm -qa ?
[00:29] <DasEi> Sengoku: I can only find the german one from my bookmarks, problem is though ati opened it's source a little, current xorg doesn't work nativly with the official (closed source) drivers, but..
[00:29] <toenail> its installed

[00:30] <Bops> urzu: how far do you get exactly?
[00:30] <Chilaquiles> how can I save my session in ubuntu and go to windows?
[00:30] <Chipzzz> duhw: what kind?
[00:30] <DasEi> Sengoku: you can get the sh-file from ati's homepage (fitting either 32 or 64 bit), then do :
[00:30] <duhw> Chipzzz, gateway
[00:30] <DasEi> Sengoku: sh ati-driver-installer-*-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg
[00:30] <jasono> urzu I am sorry! ANy way, Ubuntu does run on Debian
[00:30] <Chipzzz> duhw: model?
[00:30] <tux> if I wifi then it looks there for internet stuff not on the modem. :(
[00:30] <jasono> But still solved toenail 's problem
[00:31] <urzu> bops: i can get into the system and run live linux but when i go to install and hit proceed from the first screen it hangs
[00:31] <duhw> Chipzzz, NV53
[00:31] <Bops> urzu: ah, sorry then, can't help. I didn't get that far :P
[00:31] <Sengoku> DasEi: i'll give that a shot
[00:31] <bastidrazor> Sengoku: you would need to uninstall any of the other drivers first.
[00:32] <DasEi> Sengoku: then you get some packets build, and fglrx-modaliases , fglrx  could fit then
[00:32] <deutsch> what kind of Linux, urzu?
[00:32] <shcherbak> jasono: does toenail use ubuntu too?
[00:32] <toenail> no i still have a problem

[00:34] <lucenut> What does that tell us?
[00:34] <Chipzzz> duhw: did you install the proprietary video driver?
[00:34] <Karen_m> the application "comm" on my ubuntu machine is slower than my debian machine.  Same hardware, same setup, same files, same everything except ... one is using comm from ubuntu, one is using comm from debian.  The debian one finishes in 1-2 minutes.   The comm version on ubuntu takes upwards of 20+ minutes.
[00:34] <Bops> can anyone please tell me how to make Ubuntu Netbook Remix run in 2D? The 3D launcher has unreadable fonts. Googling showed the solution is to run the 2D launcher, but how?
[00:34] <duhw> Chipzzz, what
[00:34] <Sengoku> DasEi: the ati site redirected me to dell
[00:34] <Karen_m> My question would be, is there a way to get a newer or older version of comm on ubuntu?
[00:34] <duhw> Chipzzz, I just installed it. is there any way to fix it?
[00:34] <ether-boy> rusty149: did that, same results.
[00:35] <jasono> toenail oO Windows, oh.... Try searching for samba
[00:35] <urzu> deutsch: will that  install it on a seperate partition outside of windows? i am un familiar with wubi
[00:35] <rusty149> ether-boy: sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth status
[00:35] <Chipzzz> duhw: check your logs and see if you are getting audio or video error messages
[00:35] <DasEi> Sengoku: 32 or 64 ?
[00:35] <duhw> Chipzzz, how?
[00:35] <deutsch> Karen_m , its public secret that ubuntu is much, much slower than debian. and with bugs any more
[00:35] <ether-boy> rusty149: console says *bluetooth not running
[00:35] <toenail> i have samba allready
[00:35] <toenail> and its running
[00:36] <Sengoku> DasEi: 32
[00:36] <Karen_m> deutsch, are you being funny?  I'm asking how to get a newer version of 'comm' on my ubuntu box
[00:36] <lucenut> Gnea?
[00:36] <matt_vu> hi anyone know an alternative link to Unity repository?
[00:36] <Chipzzz> duhw: when you say it crashes, do you mean after a while, or does it crash immediately after boot?
[00:36] <deutsch> yes urzu, on a separate partition, wubi takes it authomatically
[00:36] <Sengoku> DasEi: i followed the generic link from the german link you pasted
[00:36] <duhw> Chipzzz, after a while
[00:36] <urzu> deutsch: alright thanks! :]
[00:36] <lucenut> Guess it  took me too long. The wireless kept falling off while installing procinfo.
[00:37] <Chipzzz> duhw: go to System->Administration->Log File Viewer
[00:37] <rusty149> toenail: sudo stop smbd && sudo restart nmbd && sudo start nmbd

[00:37] <lucenut> Anyone else know what it means that procinfo showed irq1 incrementing when I type on the onboard keyboard.
[00:37] <duhw> Chipzzz, then what?
[00:37] <jasono> rusty149 toenail is on Windows
[00:37] <lucenut> But ubuntu doesn't recognize the keyboard/touchpad.
[00:37] <user__> hi everybody
[00:37] <jasono> Hi user__
[00:38] <breadcrumb> 5
[00:38] <deutsch> wubi is the easiest way to install ubuntu on windows machine, I mean dual booting
[00:38] <Sengoku> DasEi: isn't this one newer? http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx
[00:38] <blocky> I've got an intel E8400, 4GB of ram, an ATI radeon HD 4850, and I've got the newest fglrx installed. glxinfo says direct render is enabled, but my system is still choking when decoding 1080p mkv ... how do I troubleshoot this?
[00:38] <DasEi> Sengoku: just down in that page, and don't forget a sudo chmod +x for it (make executable)
[00:38] <user__> i installad alongside win7 and use easybcd
[00:38] <rusty149> toenail: Are these shares on windows?
[00:38] <lucenut> I installed ubuntu 10.10 alongside win 7 and after the updates the keyboard/touchpad don't work.
[00:38] <user__> to make win7 loader load grub2
[00:38] <Bops> can anyone please tell me how to make Ubuntu Netbook run in 2D mode? My fonts are unreadable, and this is the solution. Since nothing is readable, I can't figure it out by exploring settings
[00:38] <ether-boy> how do i test wether the bluetooth hardware was recognized?
[00:39] <meway> rusty149: ok I have usb mount installed now what?
[00:39] <shcherbak> deutsch: wubi offers several flaws...
[00:39] <deutsch> user_, dont use BSD
[00:39] <toenail> right now im on ubuntu and have a vista machine laptop on the network and using the laptop to backup folders
[00:39] <toenail> the vista sees the folder but cannot access it
[00:39] <Chipzzz> duhw: if my guess is right, you'll see a bunch of error messages with "[drm]" at the beginning. If so, it involves the ati video drivers
[00:39] <Sengoku> DasEi: thanks, trying it now
[00:39] <toenail> same as when i try and access it through the network on here
[00:39] <rusty149> meway: plugin and look at /media/usb0
[00:40] <DasEi> Sengoku: good luck, and yes, try the newer one
[00:40] <duhw> Chipzzz, what am i viweing? there is many logs here
[00:40] <Gnea> lucenut: oh?
[00:40] <Gnea> lucenut: yeah, it means that the keyboard is working properly
[00:40] <nunya> I like to use echo "some command here" >> ~/blah/fileneame to write something in a file really quick, but how can I write the output from ifconfig into a file really quick using echo?
[00:40] <rusty149> toenail: so you have a samba share on Ubuntu which you want to access from windows?
[00:41] <lucenut> Gnea, so now what? :-)
[00:41] <toenail> yea
[00:41] <user__> why deutsch
[00:41] <user__> ?
[00:41] <ether-boy> rusty149: i did  "lsusb", harware seems to be recognized properly
[00:41] <rusty149> toenail: ok, pastebin your, smb.conf
[00:41] <hlhlhl> DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0
[00:41] <toenail> and the folder is allready shared but i cannot open it from either pc
[00:41] <user__> does it cause problems?

[00:42] <matt_vu> hi anyone know an alternative link for Unity repository?
[00:42] <duhw> Chipzzz, I dont see error messages...where should they be?
[00:42] <Chilaquiles> what do I need to do if in my wireless it says firmware missing?

[00:47] <Sengoku> Hey, who was helping me with graphics drivers again?
[00:47] <Jedrzej_s_> Hi all !
[00:47] <rusty149> toenail: I cannot see any shares in there. That file is huge btw, you may want to write one from scratch.
[00:47] <Jedrzej_s_> I looking for spell-check system wide (i'm on Win7). I have looked for Hunspell build in Google with no luck...
[00:47] <Jedrzej_s_> Or for Enchant (reusing OpenOffice hunspell) from my hdd
[00:47] <Chipzzz> duhw: it's a good sign that you don't see them... try opening a terminal and typing "lsmod | grep radeon" (without the quotes)
[00:47] <rusty149> toenail: But just adding the share to the bottom should get it working
[00:47] <nunya> shcherbak: thank you very much
[00:47] <duhw> Chipzzz, then what?
[00:47] <nunya> does anyone know how I can make xchat not show every person leaving and joining?
[00:48] <Chipzzz> duhw: see if there are any lines listed
[00:48] <Jedrzej_s_> Anybody has tried it ?
[00:48] <rusty149> ether-boy: sorry I don;t know alot about bluetooth, open you question to everyone and incluse details, so someone who know can help
[00:48] <Chilaquiles> what do I need to do if in my wireless it says firmware missing?
[00:48] <shcherbak> nunya: ifconfig >> file will also do, drop xchat, use irssi. you can grep logs to show Quit/Joined
[00:48] <n-iCe> Chilaquiles install the firmware
[00:49] <Sengoku> Can someone help me with getting X1300 graphics drivers going on maverick?
[00:49] <duhw> Chipzzz, I see radeon ttm drm_kms_helper  drm
[00:49] <ether-boy> rusty149:  thanks for the help, i appreciate, i ll try everthing from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup, then get back here.
[00:49] <ether-boy> bye for now :)
[00:49] <Chilaquiles> n-iCe, but how can i install it?
[00:49] <Jedrzej_s_> I looking for spell-check system wide (i'm on Win7). I have looked for Hunspell build in Google with no luck...
[00:50] <n-iCe> Chilaquiles tell me your wireless card model
[00:50] <nunya> shcherbak: I've already set up xchat in such a nice way =/
[00:51] <shcherbak> nunya: do you want to see joined/quit in channel window?
[00:51] <Chipzzz> duhw: you should find a solution here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[00:51] <Chilaquiles> n-iCe, broadcom BCM94318MPAGH
[00:51] <duhw> Chipzzz, is this the only way to fix this?
[00:52] <nunya> shcherbak: all right, i'll make the jump.. irssi have a config file I can edit?
[00:52] <mimor> I can't seem to find a way to ge my Ati Radion HD 6870 to work like it should :(
[00:52] <mimor> Somone any positive news on driver releases for this card?
[00:52] <toenail> yea i did that and it says its shared but notihng
[00:53] <bastidrazor> nunya: yes but you should make changes while inside irssi.. http://quadpoint.org/articles/irssi  is a good howto guide
[00:53] <dorsett> I'm having sound issues with 10.10 on a Dell Inspiron E1705 with a SigmaTel STAC9200. alsamixer shows PCM and LFE at max levels, volume sliders control Master which kicks in fairly loudly at around 3-5
[00:53] <nunya> bastidrazor: thanks
[00:53] <rusty149> toenail: what says its shared?
[00:53] <Chipzzz> duhw: the ati drivers are troublesome and there are a lot of discussions about them on the web. that link is a good starting point.
[00:53] <shcherbak> nunya: check website first, you can do mostly anything with irssi, but how do you want to see those join/quit messsages in xchat: new window, channel wondow?
[00:54] <paissad> do you know a site like pastebin, but for files ?
[00:54] <duhw> Chipzzz, k
[00:54] <Chipzzz> duhw: so is this one: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[00:54] <timgws> Hey guys, does anyone know where I can get a premade image for Ubuntu 10.10 on Xen?
[00:54] <nunya> shcherbak: I don't want to see them at all... although I should probably invest in irssi if it is the super-configurable irc client.  I like to take configurability over ease of use
[00:54] <timgws> I have tried the UEC image, and it half works
[00:54] <timgws> (http://uec-images.ubuntu.com/server/maverick/current/unpacked/)
[00:55] <timgws> But I get this at the end:

[00:55] <Karen_m> How do i upgrade 'coreutils' on ubuntu 10.10?
[00:55] <matt_vu> anyone know an alternative link for Unity repository?
[00:55] <n-iCe> Chilaquiles BCM94318MPAGH are you sure?
[00:55] <shcherbak> nunya: you sould have filter option in menu in xchat, one second...
[00:56] <Chilaquiles> n-iCe, thats what it says
[00:56] <n-iCe> Chilaquiles where? did you check your lsusb and lspci
[00:57] <randomOfAmber> hello, I have a computer with windows on it and I want to put ubuntu on it.  however, whenever I select 'manually partition' from the ubuntu installer it shows 320GB of free space (my whole drive) and no windows partition.  this disk was formally GPT, but I installed windows so I'd assume it's MBR now, why can't I see windows and the 30GB of free space for ubuntu?
[00:58] <Chilaquiles> n-iCe, this is what it says Broadcom Mini PCI 802.11a/b/g BCM94318MPAGH
[00:58] <toenail> right click sharing options shared and like windows it has the hand over it
[00:58] <shcherbak> nunya: http://toxin.jottit.com/xchat_tips_&_tricks#09
[00:58] <rusty149> toenail: did you do that before or after you sent the pastebin?
[00:59] <shcherbak> nunya: hope thats right one.
[00:59] <toenail> before
[00:59] <Chilaquiles> wait n-iCe
[00:59] <toenail> that  folder  should be listen in the cfg file right
[00:59] <toenail> ?
[00:59] <toenail> listed
[01:00] <Chilaquiles> n-iCe, when I type lspci it says Broadcom corporation BCM4311 [Airforce 54g] 802.11a
[01:00] <Sonja>  i'm trying to data-recovery a friend's hdd. Ubuntu thinks it's "not partitioned"
[01:00] <rusty149> toenail: well it isn't in the config file so it won't work. I suggest renaming that one as original and using one I give you
[01:00] <n-iCe> ;)
[01:00] <Jeruvy> randomOfAmber: can you pastbin the output from 'mount !pastebin
[01:00] <Chilaquiles> n-iCe, is that what you were talking about?
[01:00] <n-iCe> Chilaquiles yes, did you check under available drivers? in system ?
[01:00] <randomOfAmber> paste the output from what?
[01:00] <lopezinthebox> DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0
[01:01] <Chilaquiles> n-iCe, in additional drivers you mean?

[01:01] <Jeruvy> randomOfAmber: mount
[01:01] <SeaPhor> n-iCe: Chilaquiles may need the "sta" drivers
[01:01] <toenail> well how can i edit it through shell
[01:01] <azlon> how can i see disk usage from cli?
[01:01] <lucenut> Anyone know how to restore keyboard/touchpad? I lost it after the first round of updates on 10.10.
[01:01] <rusty149> toenail: yes, do you own the folder and have read/write permissions?
[01:01] <n-iCe> Chilaquiles yeah, you see it there?
[01:01] <abadr> how come rsync from cron doesn't use my default ssh key?
[01:01] <lucenut> USB keyboard/mouse works.
[01:02] <n-iCe> SeaPhor thats Ndiswrapper needed I think
[01:02] <shcherbak> nunya: also this: /set irc_conf_mode 1
[01:02] <meway> rusty149: I got nothing in dev0 ...
[01:02] <Chilaquiles> n-iCe, no it didn't find any
[01:02] <rusty149> meway: look in /media/
[01:02] <toenail> no it says root so sudo edit samba.cfg should work right
[01:02] <dodgy_script> randomOfAmber,  is it alive cd  witch version of ubuntu
[01:02] <SeaPhor> n-iCe: i never use ndiswrapper... have had no need with any broadcom cards
[01:03] <randomOfAmber> Jeruvy: I'm not in the installer anymore.  I could mount the disk just fine, but the installer couldn't understand it
[01:03] <n-iCe> SeaPhor what would you recommend? for that card
[01:03] <KM0201> !broadcom | Chilaquiles look at the b43 driver for that device
[01:03] <meway> rusty149: I did nothing in usb0
[01:03] <Chipzzz> lucenut: did you try upgrading with the usb devices removed?
[01:03] <meway> rusty149: woops I said dev instead of sb
[01:03] <randomOfAmber> dodgy_script: yes, I've tried 10.10 from a disc and a usb key
[01:03] <meway> rusty149: usb*
[01:03] <Srebrenica_Junfa> i have got a virus on my umbungo
[01:03] <KM0201> n-iCe: sorry, that was for you... you  need the b43 driver for the 4311
[01:03] <nunya> shcherbak: ahh, thank you very much
[01:03] <toenail> its ok i know ithats a no
[01:03] <VirusTB> Srebrenica, reinstall?

[01:04] <VirusTB> Srebrenica, Xclam? scan
[01:04] <toenail> oh yea
[01:04] <SeaPhor> n-iCe: has he checked the "restricted" drivers in the repos?/synaptics?
[01:04] <Jeruvy> randomOfAmber: it should have.  Can you check it from a livecd boot?
[01:04] <randomOfAmber> Jeruvy: i did, and now I'm here :)
[01:04] <Srebrenica_Junfa> oh its ok
[01:04] <Srebrenica_Junfa> its fixed
[01:05] <n-iCe> Chilaquiles can you paste us in here: http://www.n-iCe.pastebin.com/ your /etc/apt/sources.lists ?
[01:05] <n-iCe> Chilaquiles can you paste us in here: http://www.n-iCe.pastebin.com/ your /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[01:05] <Chilaquiles> ok n-iCe
[01:05] <KM0201> SeaPhor: my experience w/ that device, it does not work w/ the 4311.. the b43 driver is a lot better
[01:05] <n-iCe> KM0201 so you have experience, enough for me.
[01:06] <KM0201> n-iCe: ?.. not really sure what that means...lol
[01:06] <toenail> got the samba.conf open were it says security = user should i change user to the pc thats trying to access it

[01:08] <randomOfAmber> yes
[01:08] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: what are you trying to do?
[01:08] <rusty149> toenail: http://paste.ubuntu.com/553425/  add the Back-Up section and add the lines in global to current global section
[01:08] <SeaPhor> n-iCe: Chilaquiles sudo apt-get install pastebinit && pastebin /etc/apt/sources.list     ;)
[01:08] <toenail> did find the network properties and under permissions the permissions of "smb" could not be determined
[01:08] <precubcr> thx
[01:09] <rusty149> toemail: add the path of folder and your username and group
[01:09] <dodgy_script> have you partitioned the drive are you sure there is two partitions?
[01:09] <SeaPhor> or is pastebinit still available in Ubuntu?? havent used it since 8.04
[01:09] <randomOfAmber> dodgy_script: I used windows to do it... so yes
[01:09] <rusty149> toenail: you can turn off the folder options are aswell
[01:09] <Sengoku> Looking for help ubuntu maverick x1300 drivers
[01:10] <randomOfAmber> dodgy_script: I appear to have an 100MB NTFS partition, a 268GB NTFS partition, and 30GB of unallocated space (from windows)
[01:10] <bitplane> hello, anyone here using ATI crossfire? I've got a couple of questions
[01:10] <toenail> ?
[01:11] <randomOfAmber> dodgy_script: also, windows seems to think this is an MBR disk (which it probably is)
[01:11] <toenail> with the smb setting you sent me just copy and past just those lines to the smb and save right obviously delete the text in it and back up
[01:11] <mimor> bitplane: as far as I know... crossfire is not supported in linux... but my info can be outdated
[01:11] <precubcr> but cant see how to get pyrit installed
[01:12] <bitplane> hmm. I would like to use more than one gfx card (eventually) with 6 monitors and compositing enabled
[01:12] <Chilaquiles> N-ice: http://www.n-ice.pastebin.com/rSbftRc7
[01:12] <precubcr> !help
[01:12] <precubcr> !pyrit
[01:12] <rusty149> toenail: yeah that is all you need for a working samba config (more than actually :))
[01:12] <KM0201> SeaPhor: it';s still available
[01:12] <bitplane> if crossfire makes the OS see it as a single card with 6 outputs, it would hopefully fix the compositing issues
[01:13] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: so what are you trying to do, that your source list is needed?
[01:13] <n-iCe> Chilaquiles change them to: http://www.n-ice.pastebin.com/wGMM3chR
[01:14] <SeaPhor> KM0201: he was looking for n-iCe to see if the Restricted drivers repo was there
[01:14] <KM0201> SeaPhor: what restricted drivers repo?
[01:14] <n-iCe> save the document, and do this:  sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:14] <KM0201> SeaPhor: for broadcom?
[01:14] <SeaPhor> yes
[01:14] <n-iCe> KM0201 besides broadcom, you told us about the driver now.
[01:14] <KM0201> SeaPhor: it should be there by default
[01:14] <rusty149> toenail: then check it with, sudo testparm
[01:14] <toenail> sweet worked ill have to copy that info cause unfortunetly i have to wipe clean this hd for xp due to my firepod running better on it until i can get a new hdd to reinstall ubustudio on this . thanks for the help
[01:15] <KM0201> n-iCe: you shouldn't need to add those repositories for the b43 driver
[01:15] <cthuljew> Um, okay, I have a question. My About Ubuntu screen is telling me I'm using 11.04.
[01:15] <cthuljew> How?
[01:15] <meway> rusty149:  task khubd :27 blocked for more than 120 seconds keeps popping up
[01:15] <cthuljew> What?
[01:15] <cthuljew> Why?
[01:15] <FloodBot3> cthuljew: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:15] <KM0201> cthuljew: pretty common... run lsb_release -a in a terminal, and you'll see you're using 10.10
[01:15] <toenail> the only thing that didnt work was user as guest and ill be right back gona see if it works on the vista box
[01:16] <cthuljew> KM0201: \o/ I'm not crazy!
[01:16] <KM0201> cthuljew: nope, very common.. for some reason an update somewhere, pulled in the 11.04 "about".. its been that way a long time, don't worry abou tit
[01:16] <cthuljew> Also, anyone here know why ffmpeg doesn't recognize Xvid or x264 codecs?
[01:16] <rusty149> meway: that app uses udev processes. Have you tried a restart
[01:16] <meway> rusty149: yup
[01:16] <dodgy_script> randomOfAmber, have you fully checked the live cd options ! i thought it shows the hole disk first , it should see all partitions
[01:18] <randomOfAmber> dodgy_script: I don't understand the question
[01:19] <Srebrenica_Junfa> theres a man with a parrot taking a photo of me on ubuntu
[01:19] <DavidJHeinrich> hello
[01:20] <DavidJHeinrich> I'm trying to restore a user who existed before I reformatted my hard-drive (instlaled Win7 & Ubuntu 10.10). I have my user folder backed up. Can I just make a new user with that same name, and then sudo cp the files into that dir from another user?
[01:21] <rusty149> toenail: vista box needs to join workgroup: WORKGROUP, then reboot and wait upto 5 minutes for share to be visible.
[01:21] <toenail> its worked
[01:21] <toenail> it*
[01:23] <yeats> DavidJHeinrich: rsync would work even better:
[01:23] <dschuett> what does everyone use for an itunes equivalent in ubuntu?
[01:23] <cthuljew> dschuett: Quod Libet
[01:23] <ejv> DavidJHeinrich: rsync would retain permissions, but yes go for it :)
[01:23] <DavidJHeinrich> yeats: so I can use rsync then, to do that? into the already existing user folder, right?
[01:23] <dschuett> cthuljew: have you ever seen the error "unable to initialize new ipod"?
[01:24] <cthuljew> dschuett: Nope.
[01:24] <cthuljew> Then again, I don't use an ipod.
[01:24] <yeats> DavidJHeinrich: right
[01:24] <d3cented> cthuljew: what do you use?
[01:25] <cthuljew> A Samsung YP-Z5.
[01:25] <cthuljew> Bust mp3 player ever made.
[01:25] <jetscreamer> !ipod
[01:25] <randomOfAmber> dschuett: yes, you might need to first connect your ipod to itunes, then you can (I think) reset it with other players
[01:25] <d3cented> ;-)maybe

[01:25] <randomOfAmber> np ^^
[01:26] <dejavou42> I am having a small problem with tftpd-hpa. I can't remove, upgrade, or force remove it. Every time I try, I get an exit status 2
[01:26] <Bops> Jesus Christ...using the latest Ubuntu (Netbook), it is without doubt the worst experience I've ever had with an OS since trying to figure out DOS as an 8yo without reading english
[01:26] <Bops> Is it running some sort of indexer by default? Is that why it's using 50% at idle?
[01:26] <Bops> 50% CPU
[01:27] <Lint01> Bops, if you have no graphics drivers installed, it's X
[01:27] <jetscreamer> blame the admin
[01:28] <azlon> how can i monitor my upload rate from cli?
[01:28] <dodgy_script> randomOfAmber, erm ....  when you got to the screen that shows you the hdd disk, there should be a section that say would you like to install to the hole disk or words to that effect.. have you checked out all the sub menus?
[01:28] <dodgy_script> randomOfAmber, erm ....  options
[01:29] <dejavou42> can anyone help me remove or upgrade tftpd-hpa?
[01:29] <dodgy_script> good grief!
[01:30] <yeats> dejavou42: what's the problem?
[01:30] <dejavou42> yeats: I am having a small problem with tftpd-hpa. I can't remove, upgrade, or force remove it. Every time I try, I get an exit status 2
[01:31] <dejavou42> yeats: I have even gone as far as using dpkg to force remove
[01:32] <lcb> hi does anyone know how to mount with NFS a directory from a virtual partition instead of a directory in /root or /home? ->> http://paste.ubuntu.com/553428/
[01:32] <yeats> dejavou42: can you paste the output of 'sudo apt-get remove tftpd-hpa' at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and share the url?
[01:33] <dejavou42> yeats: sure one second
[01:34] <rusty149> lcb: that doesn't make sence because all partitions are mounted as directories
[01:34] <dejavou42> yeats: http://paste.ubuntu.com/553429/
[01:34] <Bops> how do I "disable 3d rendering" in Ubuntu?
[01:34] <rusty149> lcb: you probably mean something more detailed
[01:35] <lcb> rusty149: well, the syntax i'm using and following the instructions is not working
[01:35] <tripelb> can anyone recommend a  linux video editor
[01:35] <lcb> rusty149: * so i realized it is due to be a partition
[01:35] <yeats> dejavou42: can you try 'sudo apt-get -f install'?  (just in case that magically fixes it)
[01:36] <dejavou42> Bops: System --> preferences --> appearances --> Visual effects --> none
[01:36] <Guest3289> i have a game and when i start it my computer screen gos black and a box appears that says frequency out of range???
[01:36] <dejavou42> yeats: already tried that, but one second and I'll get you the output
[01:36] <Bops> thanks i'll try that when the system is done updating and I can reboot
[01:36] <SeaPhor> lcb: what is the /dev/sd?? of that partition?
[01:36] <rusty149> lcb: it won't be ext4 as type, it will probably be nfs4
[01:37] <dejavou42> http://paste.ubuntu.com/553435/
[01:37] <rusty149> lcb: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo#NFS Client
[01:37] <lcb> rusty149: i did that partition to host web pages, virtual hosts and shared data.. so is ntfs good for that? :o
[01:38] <yeats> dejavou42: if that doesn't work, can you paste the output of 'head -n20 /etc/default/tftpd-hpa'?
[01:38] <dejavou42> yeats: sure one second
[01:38] <rusty149> lcb: i didn't mean it isn't formatted as ntfs but it would not be the mount type, look in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo
[01:39] <dejavou42> yeats: http://paste.ubuntu.com/553436/
[01:39] <lcb> rusty149: oops, sorry, i didn't read well
[01:40] <lcb> rusty149: ok, i'll take a better look at Network File System (protocol)
[01:40] <markturnip> Perhaps someone could look at this? : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1665831
[01:41] <yeats> dejavou42: can you do 'sudo gedit /etc/default/tftpd-hpa' and add a double quote (") to the end of line 9 "OPTIONS="-l -s /var/lib/tftpboot
[01:42] <dejavou42> yeats: should I change run daemon to no instead?
[01:42] <Israfel> Does anyone know of a Linux equivalent to Eraser? Shred doens't seem to work on ext3.
[01:42] <dejavou42> yeats: nm
[01:43] <yeats> dejavou42: I'm just seeing if correcting that error will allow apt-get to continue
[01:44] <dejavou42> yeats: yup, that fixed it. Thanks!
[01:44] <yeats> dejavou42: great!
[01:44] <dodgy_script> markturnip, why a tv not a monitor?
[01:45] <markturnip> Because I want to use if for a HTPC.

[01:46] <air0day> I'm having some cron trouble.  I used to have some cron jobs, they worked fine.  Suddenly, they aren't executing.  When I go to the gnome-scheduled-tasks program, it doesn't list any jobs. And when I try to add one, the list remains empty.  I have no clue what I did, any ideas?
[01:47] <air0day> And I get this if I try to do it via command line: /var/spool/cron: Permission denied

[01:53] <Sean93> how would you install ubuntu on a pc that has no cdrom or floppy, and doesn't support booting from usb. i tried install plop boot manager to the harddrive and booting to usb but I get the error, “unable to find a medium containing a live file system” when trying to install.
[01:53] <doki_pen> is there a way to apt-get install without starting the service of the package?
[01:53] <Sonja> if ubuntu boots up in terminal mode, what do i type to enter gui mode?
[01:53] <bzou> oki
[01:53] <j00ker> join #ps3test
[01:53] <Sean93> Sonja, i would think startx, although im not sure
[01:53] <yeats> Sonja: startx
[01:53] <SeaPhor> Sonja: startx  or
[01:53] <Sonja> thx
[01:54] <Dmole> anyone know if the command "ssh -fNR 4022:<IP_ADDRESS>:22 me@boxA" is the right command to forward 4022 from boxA to 22 on boxB with a command from boxB?
[01:54] <wrd> Sonja: alternatively service start gdm
[01:54] <aeon-ltd> Sean93: wubi?
[01:54] <doki_pen> Dmole: nope
[01:54] <bzou> repeat a little ??
[01:55] <bzou>  /join #ubuntu-fr
[01:55] <doki_pen> Dmole: oh, yeah
[01:55] <doki_pen> Dmole: sorry
[01:55] <SeaPhor> wrd: not service gdm start?
[01:55] <Sean93> aeon-ltd, only problem is the windows install is incredibly bloated and i suspect infected, almost impossible to do anything on it
[01:55] <bzou> hihihi :)
[01:55] <aeon-ltd> Sean93: use anotherr pc as a hard drive host, install then move back
[01:56] <Sean93> aeon-ltd, great idea
[01:56] <aeon-ltd> Sean93: but........?
[01:57] <SamWeasley> Hello!
[01:57] <air0day> so, I just fixed my problem by setting a+rwx on /var/spool/cron, /var/spool/cron/crontabs, and /var/spool/cron/atjobs.  That doesn't seem like the right solution though, what should the permissions on those directories be?
[01:57] <Dmole> doki_pen: seems to not be opening the port on boxA. the man file said something about GatewayPorts but there is no such flag in the cfg...
[01:57] <Bops> Lint01: so X is to blame for mutter using 100% CPU even when idle?
[01:58] <Lint01> Bops, hardware, since mutter is uses opengl rendering
[01:59] <Lint01> if it's not accelerated due to missing driver or firmware, it will fallback to software
[01:59] <SamWeasley> I have a Kubuntu install and, for convenience I installed GNOME as a secondary Window Manager. But now the GNOME USB Drive autodetection made my KDE USB Drive detection goes havoc. I want to deactivate GNOME USB autodetection and googled for it, but I didn't find the gnome-volume-manager suggested on Google. Any other way?
[02:00] <Bops> Lint01: that really should be mentioned on the main site. "Try at your own risk". I wasted 2 hours installing an unusable OS. Sigh, back to regular Ubuntu. Or is regular Ubuntu like that nowadays to? (I'd been using 9.04 until now)
[02:00] <Lint01> Bops, you should be able to choose plain gnome at login
[02:00] <doki_pen> Dmole: you don't need gateway port for that
[02:01] <doki_pen> Dmole: to troubleshoot, use netcat
[02:01] <Bops> Lint01: lemme try. gonna take a while.
[02:02] <Sean93> aeon-ltd, no, i'm going to use it :P
[02:03] <aeon-ltd> Sean93: sorry the lack of 'tone' on the internet made me assume it was sarcastic, i apologise again
[02:03] <Dmole> doki_pen: I was using netstat and nmap to check if the port opened.... it did not, how would I use netcat in addition to that?
[02:03] <Sean93> aeon-ltd, no problem :D
[02:04] <nathan> what up
[02:04] <aeon-ltd> Sean93: btw hardware autodetect will be off, so you may need a lot of drivers/modules to be installed when you move back, in the worst case X may fail on boot - but you should have ubuntu
[02:06] <Dmole> doki_pen: adding that flag to the cfg seems to have fixed it~ thanks
[02:07] <Joseph_> Hi everyone
[02:08] <Joseph_> I need assistance on ubuntu installation
[02:08] <ac00perw> hi Joseph
[02:09] <Joseph_> I want to install ubuntu on a different partition which i have allocated under windows storage management
[02:09] <Bops> the system is completely unresponsive. mutter is using all CPU. I've been waiting 5 minutes to try to open a terminal window to kill mutter with no luck. System is set to auto-login so I can't work around this by rebooting. What can I do? I want to log out and try to pick a non-Netbook Remix session. But the system is unresponsive and I can't log out.
[02:09] <veldar> hi why ubuntu mouse cursor change from small to big in some applications
[02:10] <Joseph_> sorry anyone there?
[02:11] <SeaPhor> Bops: type 3 at the grub menu
[02:11] <jrib> Joseph_: best to just ask the channel your actual question (on a single line)
[02:11] <Bops> SeaPhor: what will that do?
[02:11] <andyzammy> hi all OT question but trying to log in to use a registered nick on another channell and i don't know how to do it? no login command???
[02:11] <SeaPhor> that will boot to init (runlevel) 3
[02:11] <SeaPhor> that will boot to init (runlevel) 3 bops
[02:11] <DavidJHeinrich> hi all
[02:12] <Bops> and will that let me select a gnome session to launch?
[02:12] <Joseph_> jrib: i want to install ubuntu on a designated partition which i have allocated under windows management. Now i am inside Ubuntu live session and i dunno how can i do to install it without affecting the windows
[02:12] <Joseph_> my expectation is to dual boot both windows and ubuntu
[02:12] <DavidJHeinrich> I just installed Ubnuntu 10.10 fresh after a HD format....after installing, it asked me to do an update, so I clicked OK then rebooted after it was done. Now the system hangs when booting on "Setting sensor limits"...huh?
[02:12] <Bops> Joseph_: reboot into Windows, then run setup.exe from the Ubuntu cdrom
[02:12] <jrib> Joseph_: during install it shows you your partition setup and you choose the partition you want
[02:12] <Bops> and install it using Wubi
[02:12] <SeaPhor> Bops: that will put u in a cli-only, no x environment to fix the issue if needed then you can startx
[02:13] <Joseph_> just install by choosing the partition i want?
[02:13] <jrib> Joseph_: of course
[02:13] <Joseph_> it will not affect the windows?
[02:13] <Bops> SeaPhor: the problem can only be fixed by running a classic gnome session instead of this terrible Unity stuff.
[02:13] <jrib> Joseph_: as long as you don't choose the windows partition, no it won't
[02:13] <Joseph_> jrib: Ok, thanks.... Do i need to do something else besides that?
[02:14] <Joseph_> jrib: Because i wish to dual boot both operating systems
[02:14] <jrib> Joseph_: I recommend you delete the partition created and then have ubuntu just setup the free space (because you need a swap partition too)
[02:14] <SeaPhor> Joseph_: na, its pretty easy ;)
[02:14] <Joseph_> SeaPhor: Ok, I shall try it
[02:14] <Bops> I know bitching doesn't help anyone but dear god, how could Canonical actually release Ubuntu Network Remix on unsuspecting users knowing it requires 3d acceleration?
[02:14] <yeats> Joseph_: I agree with jrib
[02:14] <SeaPhor> Joseph_: yes, what jrib said
[02:14] <slestak> running 10.10 and gnome will not start.  seems that gdm is working,
[02:15] <slestak> there are no options for failsafe gnome and esc does does bring me into grub menu to choose other modes
[02:15] <DavidJHeinrich> anyone have any idea on my boot freeze/hang issue with "setting sensor limits"? (this is a desktop system, so I don't know why it is doing that anyways)
[02:15] <Joseph_> so I have been prompted with three options; install alongside with other operating system, erase and use entire harddisk (unlikely), and specify partition manually
[02:16] <Joseph_> so i should choose the third one?
[02:16] <yuler> using Empathy for chat in Ubuntu 10.10, I found there are occasions it doesn't load (or hangs upon loading) some chat logs.  The folks @ #empathy don't know what causes it, so I'd like to use an XML parser/viewer to view the logs (until this is fixed).  What software can I use for this task?
[02:17] <slestak> Joseph_: do you want to preserve the exisitinf os?
[02:17] <Joseph_> slestak: yes, I would like to have a dual boot
[02:17] <slestak> install alongside is a good choice then
[02:17] <Joseph_> slestak: but i want to install it on different partition
[02:17] <Bops> ok I'm at the prompt after pressing CTRL+ALT+F5. How can I kill/logout the running gnome session that auto-logged in, then get to a gnome login screen (where normally one would enter a password and select a session type)?
[02:18] <slestak> yuler: firefox will view xml files
[02:18] <slestak> as well as gedit
[02:18] <meway> I have a bunch of files with the extention .example how do I remove the .example extention but not the files. (all files are in 1 folder)
[02:18] <yeats> Joseph_: boot into Windows and delete the partition you created, then restart the installation
[02:18] <slestak> then you do need manual partitioning then
[02:18] <SeaPhor> bops init 3
[02:18] <yeats> Joseph_: Ubuntu will create a partition from the free space
[02:18] <SeaPhor> Bops: init 3
[02:19] <Joseph_> yeats: I have allocated one, but it is ntfs format
[02:19] <slestak> meway: i always test my glob with ls first
[02:19] <slestak> do ls *.example
[02:19] <Joseph_> yeats: can i reformat it in ubuntu installation wizard?
[02:19] <yeats> Joseph_: right - you'll need to delete that
[02:19] <slestak> see i you liek the results, if you do then do rm *.example
[02:19] <Bops> SeaPhor: ran init 3. And to launch the session?
[02:19] <meway> slestak: what?.......
[02:19] <SeaPhor> Joseph_: that one needs to be deleted, no need to "pre-allocate" a part ;)
[02:20] <yeats> Joseph_: if you're sure you can tell which one it is, you can run gparted from the System -> Administration menu in the live cd
[02:20] <slestak> you want to remove teh files that end in .example?
[02:20] <meway> slestak: i just want to remove the .example extention
[02:20] <yeats> Joseph_: and delete the partition from there
[02:20] <meway> slestak not the file just the extention
[02:20] <slestak> if you dont want to do it manually in nautilus, you will need to script it.  pretty easy bash script, but i would use python
[02:20] <Joseph_> yeats: ok, let me try
[02:21] <meway> slestak: I'm pretty sure pearl works in the command line
[02:21] <slestak> yes it does
[02:21] <meway> isn't there a rename command that i can do
[02:21] <yuler> slestak: Firefox open file > XML asks for a helper app instead of loading it within.  :(
[02:21] <ionwind> anyone can help to install jdownloader in ubuntu maverik please?
[02:22] <Bops> Joseph_ check private messages
[02:22] <Joseph_> yeats: I have deleted the partition from ubuntu gpart
[02:22] <slestak> it only operates on one at a time,
[02:22] <Joseph_> yeats: then what should i do now?
[02:22] <slestak> yuler: hmm, shouldnt have
[02:22] <yeats> Joseph_: start the installer again
[02:22] <meway> slestak: no I'm pretty sure there is another way
[02:22] <Lint01> what is default dc++ client in ubuntu 10/10?
[02:22] <Sengoku> Hey, anyone know how i can access my win7 shares, when i try and use samba it prompts for username/password, but the shares are passwordless
[02:22] <slestak> meway: use an mp3 renamer, soem of the good ones are pretty flexible
[02:22] <Joseph_> yeats: after that choose to specify partition manually?
[02:23] <Bops> SeaPhor: from the command-line, how can I get to the Gnome login screen? (knowing I configured Ubuntu to auto-login, and that I DON'T WANT THAT so that I can select a different type of session)
[02:23] <dodgy_script> meway,  just type:     mv  file.example file.txt    ..  or anything
[02:23] <Lint01> Sengoku, you need enable ntlm2 authorisation in smb.conf
[02:23] <yeats> Joseph_: you should be able to use the largest free space option
[02:23] <meway> should be like rm ../example something idk
[02:23] <Aedra> Does anyone have a problem where Nautilus wont show HDD Size , Type, last modified etc?
[02:23] <Joseph_> yeats: yea there is a free space now
[02:23] <Joseph_> yeats: just click on it and install?
[02:24] <slestak> meway: your eaxample would remove the file name example in one directory up the tree
[02:24] <yeats> Joseph_: at the partitioning step, there should be a "use the largest continuous free space" option
[02:25] <Aedra> And also, wont allow changing of File System Label?
[02:25] <meway> slestak: maybe ../ ".example"
[02:25] <Sengoku> Lint01: just add "client ntlmv2 auth"
[02:25] <Sengoku> ?
[02:26] <Lint01> Sengoku, "client ntlmv2 auth = true"
[02:26] <Joseph_> yeats: when i click install now on the free space, it prompts me that no root file system is definied
[02:26] <Joseph_> *defined
[02:26] <slestak> without a loop (perl or bash or python, or sth else) i dont think you will be able to do it.
[02:26] <Sengoku> Lint01: thanks!
[02:26] <Lint01> Sengoku, also Nautilus uses ./.smb/smbconf instead of /etc/samba one
[02:26] <Bops> ok, plan B. What command can I use to kill a process, WITHOUT having to use 2+ commands where the 2nd one uses the output of the first. My monitor is badly positioned (and can't be fixed in monitor options), I can't read the PID of mutter in order to kill it.
[02:27] <Aedra> Does anyone know how to fix Nautilus so that it shows HDD Space, Date Modified, Type etc And also allows me to change File System Label??
[02:27] <yeats> Joseph_: okay... are you in the manual partitioning step?
[02:27] <slestak> meway: here is one google hit  http://code.activestate.com/recipes/576597-directory-walking-file-renamer/
[02:27] <Joseph_> yeats: yea
[02:27] <Sengoku> Lint01: oh damn, thanks
[02:27] <Joseph_> yeats: what should i do now?
[02:27] <yeats> Joseph_: can you go back to the screen before?
[02:27] <Sengoku> Lint01: what's ./.smb?
[02:27] <yeats> Joseph_: no need to partition manually
[02:28] <meway> slestak: I will let you know when I remember XD I know there is a way >_<
[02:28] <Sengoku> Lint01: is that a hidden file in the current directory?
[02:28] <Lint01> Sengoku, ~/.smb/smb.conf I believe
[02:28] <Sengoku> ohh
[02:28] <Sengoku> cool thanks
[02:28] <Joseph_> yeats: the screen before is the three options
[02:28] <yeats> Joseph_: is one of those options to use the largest free space?
[02:28] <sanduz2> are there any programs that alert you when someone scans your ports or traceroutes you or tries to connect to your IP or anything?
[02:29] <diemos> so, I just upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 desktop, and now my computer freezes anytime I try to do something
[02:29] <Joseph_> yeats: no, there is no such option
[02:30] <yeats> Joseph_: okay... hmm.  Is the free space you created showing up?
[02:30] <Joseph_> yeats: only three options; install alongside with other operating system, erase and use entire harddisk, manually specify a partition
[02:30] <dodgy_script> meway,  rename 's/\.example$//' *.example
[02:30] <Joseph_> yeats: the free space i deleted is there
[02:30] <Sengoku> Lint01: such folder doesn't exist..
[02:30] <yeats> Joseph_: okay - try install alongside
[02:30] <Joseph_> yeats: but it shows that i don't have what root file
[02:30] <Joseph_> so couldn't proceed
[02:30] <Lint01> Sengoku, one moment
[02:30] <Sengoku> Lint01: when i "localte smb.conf" it's only in /etc/samba/ and some other weird places
[02:30] <Joseph_> yeats: but that will install my ubuntu to where?
[02:31] <meway> dodgy_script: yes thats it
[02:31] <meway> slestak: rename 's/\.example$//' *.example
[02:31] <yeats> Joseph_: it *should* install it to the free space
[02:32] <Lint01> Sengoku, you may need to create it; also having it also in /etc/samba works for every other program, so need to be added too
[02:32] <yeats> Joseph_: if you want to be sure, select manual partitioning

[02:35] <yuler> slestak: gedit will load XML, but it doesn't parse it.  At the least, I want to hide the tags, but prefer to assign formatting to the tags.  The only software that I know of that does this is Windows Notepad++, and I'd prefer to stay away from WINE.  Any other ideas for Linux?
[02:35] <jetscreamer> nvm
[02:35] <jetscreamer> thanks again
[02:35] <ovg> except with WPA networks but i changed my network encriptation for WEP (sorry about my english i am from spain and talk bad :( )

[02:37] <yuler> jetscreamer: will try that. thanks.
[02:37] <Lint01> try to replace "true" with "yes"
[02:38] <optical> Hey all, let's say I'm <IP_ADDRESS> on my local network and I have a headless box on 192.168.0.SOMETHING but I can't remember what the something is.  Also my router itself is garbage and doesn't list the local clients.  How can I probe <IP_ADDRESS>-<IP_ADDRESS> or whatever to find out what IP it is?

[02:40] <mouse> Can anyone recommend a good program for filing taxes?
[02:40] <meway> dodgy_script: erm did not work maybe I missed something?

[02:41] <Um_cara_Qualquer> does anyone knows how to fix the mouse theme problem, which returns to the normal defalt theme when it's not on firefox or some aplication?
[02:41] <Sengoku> Lint01: sorry to be a pain, it's not working
[02:41] <Sengoku> Lint01: oh sorry, just saw the "yes" thing
[02:41] <meway> dodgy_script: oops typo ^_^
[02:41] <dodgy_script> optical,  sudo apt-get install arp-scan!
[02:42] <administrator_> how
[02:42] <administrator_> hello
[02:42] <talkingscott> Lint01, many thanks
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> Um_cara_Qualquer:  You have tried just logging out/back in after changeing pointer themes?
[02:43] <Um_cara_Qualquer> Dr_Willis, yeah... it didn't worked out
[02:44] <Um_cara_Qualquer> Dr_Willis, actually... with any theme... it's the same problem, and it's always just when firefox or some window opens, and must be on it too
[02:45] <Sengoku> Lint01: no dice..
[02:45] <Sengoku> of course there is a high probability that i'm just doing this incorrectly
[02:45] <Lint01> Sengoku, check event log on win7
[02:46] <Lint01> Sengoku, see if security log has many failedlogin attemts

[02:51] <KB1JWQ> Rabbitbunny: Is Empathy running?
[02:52] <SeaPhor> KB1JWQ: edbian he wants to discover the local addy of a headless box he forgot the addy to

[02:53] <lastent> hi, is there any way to use more than 2.7GB of ram memory in a 32bits Ubuntu?
[02:54] <edbian> lastent: You should be able to use 3.2 Gb by default
[02:54] <edbian> lastent: also: use the pae-kernel
[02:54] <Sengoku> Lint01: nothing fishy in the logs
[02:54] <SeaPhor> lastent: the PAE kernel will use all u want
[02:54] <dodgy_script> optical,  did you get arp-scan its a little quicker to get to grips with..   sudo arp-scan -I wlan0 -l
[02:55] <Lint01> Sengoku, do ubuntu asks you for password in a loop?
[02:55] <Roasted> I have EXTREMELY low microphone volume in Ubuntu 10.10 on skype, however if I go into audacity and record myself it's clear as day with ample volume. Any ideas?
[02:56] <jbotalan> Had some high schoolers power my ubuntu machine off while I was doing a file copy. Now I can't boot--i get the recovery console instead. i need to run an fsck, right? i booted the livecd and tried (sudo fsck /dev/sda1) and got "fsck.ext4: Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda1
[02:56] <jbotalan> Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?"
[02:56] <edbian> Roasted: the volume in skype? :P
[02:56] <jbotalan> any idea why?
[02:56] <lastent> so I just have to install the PAE kernel, is there any cont when using the PAE kernel?
[02:56] <Roasted> edbian, I don't see any "skype" volume though
[02:56] <IdiotStic> howdy all. I upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10 yesterday. Since then the games at pogo.com play the opening sounds, but then no more sounds throughout game play until you go to another game. It is java and flash driven. I have tried java 1.0.20 22  23 with the same results. I also upgraded seamonkey to latest, as well as firefox with the same results. Other sites with java and sound work fine, and our laptop with 10.10 and seamonkey wor
[02:56] <IdiotStic> ks fine on poog. Any suggestions?
[02:56] <edbian> Roasted: that was just my idea :)  I don't know otherwise
[02:56] <Sengoku> Lint01: yeah, whenever i try any passwordsit keeps prompting for password
[02:56] <Roasted> edbian, all I have is what server to choose, whcih my only option is pulseaudio server (local)
[02:56] <Roasted> edbian, and that's it :( no sliders or anything
[02:57] <Lint01> Sengoku, and win7 do not report failed logins?
[02:57] <Talaskina> hey theoretically question - i use rsync to sync 2 drives data1 and data2. its a cron job that runs every night. "if" data1 were to fail and the drive unmount, the directory where its mounted would appear to be empty and when the cron job ran that night, it would then erase drive2 wouldnt it?
[02:58] <Sengoku> Lint01: checking again
[02:58] <jbotalan> Talaskina, I've had rsync just create the directory and copy the contents of that drive to that directory. however i can't remember what flags i was using at the moment (fighting an issue myself right now)
[02:58] <dodgy_script> jbotalan,  i think you need to use a live cd  to fsck that ... i think!
[02:58] <nathan_> while I'm here, I got a question :)
[02:59] <edbian> nathan_: what is it?
[02:59] <Chilaquiles> n-iCe, are you there?
[02:59] <jbotalan> dodgy_script, i'm currently running the 10.10 livecd. i tried running that fsck, and it isn't working.
[02:59] <jbotalan> that error i mentioned is in those circumstances
[02:59] <nathan_> When I try to run ubuntu software manager, it hangs, and update manager says that there is another version of synatpic running somewhere
[02:59] <Sengoku> Lint01: says logon successful
[02:59] <Sengoku> in win7
[02:59] <jbotalan> and it isn't mounted. i can't figure this out...
[02:59] <edbian> nathan_: can I see the pastebin of ps -e ?
[03:00] <edbian> nathan_: It's probably just some zombie process that hasn't died yet
[03:00] <nathan_> It offers to do a partial upgrade to fix the problem, but that doesn't work.
[03:00] <Radon> Is anyone running Ubuntu 64-bit with GCC?
[03:00] <Radon> I need someone to compile something for me. :(
[03:00] <nathan_> sure, typeing "ps -e" in the terminal  you mean?
[03:00] <edbian> nathan_: yes
[03:00] <Radon> Anyone?
[03:00] <Um_cara_Qualquer> Dr_Willis, still there?
[03:00] <lastent>  edbian SeaPhor is there any cons when using pae kernel?
[03:00] <edbian> lastent: Not that I know of
[03:00] <Radon> Actually can _anyone_ compile something for me?
[03:00] <nathan_> woh, that's a lot to copy, you sure to copy the whoel thing here?
[03:01] <Radon> Anybody with GCC? :(
[03:01] <Talaskina> jbotalan, hm i guess either way would be problematic, if drive1 fails it might erase drive2 if drive 2 fails it would quickly fill the base 300gb drive with the 1.2tb of data.
[03:01] <Lint01> Sengoku, strange, I;m afraid it's beyond my competence to troubleshoot
[03:01] <Lint01> Radon, what?
[03:01] <nathan_> I tried restarting the computer, which didn't solve the problem either
[03:01] <Radon> Lint01: Can you compile something for me?
[03:01] <SeaPhor> lastent: SLED-11 uses it by default
[03:01] <edbian> nathan_: can I have a pastebin of ps -e please ?
[03:01] <Lint01> Radon, it depends
[03:02] <Radon> It's for a project tomorrow that I need to complete.
[03:02] <Radon> Just one file
[03:02] <nathan_> ... what is a pastebin
[03:02] <Radon> Lint01: Think you can do it if I put it in pastebin?
[03:02] <sam__> salut
[03:02] <edbian> !pastebin | nathan
[03:02] <SeaPhor> !paste | nathan_
[03:02] <Lint01> Radon, i'll take a look
[03:02] <sam__> miss?
[03:03] <Radon> Could you transfer the binary over mediafire?
[03:03] <edbian> nathan_: It let's you make a website for temporary use with anything you want on it
[03:03] <Roasted> I have EXTREMELY low microphone volume in Ubuntu 10.10 on skype, however if I go into audacity and record myself it's clear as day with ample volume.  It's sorta urgent and I need sleep. :P
[03:05] <edbian> nathan_: There is some apt- process that was left running.  See it there?  the command I gave stops it.  Should let other instances of package managers work
[03:06] <KM0201> Roasted: have you turned off allowing skype to adjust your mixer level?
[03:06] <nathan_> one second, looking up something
[03:06] <edbian> nathan_: take your time
[03:06] <Roasted> KM0201, yes.
[03:06] <KM0201> Roasted: uncheck it, and let ubuntu control it, rather than skype
[03:06] <Roasted> KM0201, I did.
[03:06] <Roasted> KM0201, no results.
[03:06] <nathan_> ah, I see, thanks
[03:06] <KM0201> Roasted: oh wait, you said you did.
[03:07] <edbian> nathan_: that fixed it?
[03:07] <Roasted> KM0201, :(
[03:07] <nathan_> nope
[03:07] <nathan_> "unable to get exclusive lock"
[03:07] <nathan_> seems there is still another zombie process?
[03:08] <edbian> nathan_: what does ps -e | grep apt show?
[03:08] <Radon> Lint01: Did you manage anything yet?
[03:08] <edbian> nathan_: maybe, sometimes the lock file just doesn't get unlocked properly
[03:08] <edbian> nathan_: worst case we'll just delete the file.  Did you say that restarting it doesn't fix?
[03:08] <Radon> Can anyone please compile some C++ for me?
[03:08] <nathan_> that shows 2 other processes, aptd and update-apt-xapi
[03:09] <Lint01> Radon, find someone else to compile exploits for you
[03:09] <edbian> nathan_: mmm, can you kill aptd?
[03:09] <singingBird> Roasted: have u checked volume control preferences>  there is one more mic db level control
[03:09] <edbian> nathan_: What's the number for it?
[03:09] <Radon> Lint01: It's for a project though.
[03:09] <Roasted> singingBird, in ubuntu or skype?
[03:09] <nathan_> 1924
[03:09] <ns_hardy> okay hey
[03:09] <ns_hardy> evryone
[03:09] <edbian> nathan_: Kill that too
[03:10] <slestak> can someone give me some tips on troubleshooting broken gnome on 10.10
[03:10] <ns_hardy> anyone have an idea about qt and Qsqlite
[03:10] <Radon> Lint01: You don't understand, I have a class tomorrow.
[03:10] <singingBird> in Ubuntu
[03:10] <slestak> some of my old tricks are not working anymore, i.e. runlevel 2, etc
[03:10] <nathan_> I did that... but doing "ps -e | grep apt" again gives the same results
[03:10] <slestak> I am at recovery menu,
[03:10] <Roasted> singingBird, I'm not seeing it. Can you direct me where its at?
[03:10] <edbian> nathan_: Did you say that restarting the machine didn't fix the problem?
[03:11] <nathan_> right
[03:11] <edbian> nathan_: We can avoid wasting our time then.
[03:11] <Chilaquiles> n-iCe, I have a Broadcom corporation BCM4311 Wireless card and it says firmware not installed, somebody could help me?
[03:11] <edbian> nathan_: Where is the lock file? /var/???/apt.lock ??
[03:11] <edbian> lock.0
[03:11] <edbian> or something?
[03:11] <edbian> Chilaquiles: I can help if you wait a minute.
[03:11] <nathan_> lock file?
[03:11] <edbian> nathan_: try to run sudo apt-get upgrade
[03:11] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: you need to download and extract the firmware.. it's a lot easier if you have an internet connection for a few minutes
[03:12] <edbian> nathan_: It will list the lock file's location
[03:12] <Chilaquiles> KM0201, I don't have an internet conection on the machine where I have that problem
[03:12] <nathan_> /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable
[03:12] <edbian> nathan_: that's it
[03:13] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: did you read the directions on the link i gave you earlier? it tells you how to download and extract the broadcom firmware, w/o an internet connection
[03:13] <Chilaquiles> KM0201, but anyways where can I download the firmware?
[03:13] <edbian> nathan_: Now, to be clear, apt puts the lock file there whenever a package manager is open.  From that point on no other package manager will work until the first one ends and removes the lock file
[03:13] <KM0201> !broadcom | Chilaquiles
[03:13] <nathan_> huh... interesting
[03:13] <Chilaquiles> KM0201, but that was for broadcom bcm43xx and I have the bcm44xx
[03:13] <nathan_> ... that file isn't there in the file manager
[03:13] <edbian> nathan_: we can remove the lock file manually but if there is a package manager running and you start another package manager it will f things up
[03:13] <nathan_> nvm, found it
[03:14] <edbian> nathan_: sudo rm /var/dpkg/lock
[03:14] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: huh?
[03:14] <jds-> attempted to boot from ubuntu cd, got error messages, restarted
[03:14] <Chilaquiles> KM0201, doesn't matter?
[03:14] <edbian> nathan_: after that restart the machine you'll be safe
[03:14] <edbian> nathan_: get it?
[03:14] <nathan_> got it
[03:14] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: othe than bmc doesn't exist to my knowlege.. http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
[03:14] <edbian> nathan_: awesome :)
[03:14] <nathan_> though it's /var/dpkg/lib/lock :)
[03:15] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: all broadcoms are bcm.. not bmc
[03:15] <edbian> nathan_: o thanks :)
[03:15] <nathan_> alrighty then, restarting, and thanks edbian
[03:15] <edbian> nathan_: come back and let me know that it works
[03:15] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: did you manage to install the b43 driver?
[03:15] <Chilaquiles> KM0201, sorry you are right but what I mean is that I have bcm44xx
[03:16] <edbian> Chilaquiles: actually bcm4311 is a bcm43xx
[03:16] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: so whats the problem?.. thast what that link details howt o fix?
[03:16] <jds-> i checked my md5sum against the one on the server, perfect match
[03:16] <Chilaquiles> that I have a newer one
[03:16] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: you said just a minute ago, you have a broadcom 4311   where do you get thats 44xx?
[03:16] <jds-> are there any peculiarities to installing ubuntu on a windows 7 machine?
[03:17] <Lucenut> OK I reinstalled 10.10 alongside windows 7, but I don't want it to update. The last 2 times it did I lost keyboard & touchpad.
[03:17] <KB1JWQ> !windows
[03:17] <edbian> jds-: not that I know of
[03:17] <wenlong> yes i am
[03:17] <edbian> Lucenut: then dont' update
[03:17] <Lucenut> How can I turn off updates?
[03:17] <Chilaquiles> KM0201, mhhh Im confused let me check again which one I have
[03:17] <edbian> Lucenut: it won't update without you letting it in the first place.
[03:17] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: PM me when you get back
[03:17] <Lucenut> OK
[03:17] <wenlong> is there have chinese
[03:17] <Chilaquiles> KM0201, which command tells me that?
[03:18] <h00k> !cn | wenlong
[03:18] <Guest34100> well, the important things are fixed :)
[03:18] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: answer your PM
[03:18] <cp2_4eva> can anyone tell my why my computer wont load Ubuntu? It said "mountall: Disconnected from Plymouth
[03:18] <Guest34100> hmm... it listed me as guest instead of nathan_
[03:18] <Guest34100> weird
[03:18] <edbian> Guest34100: hi
[03:18] <edbian> Guest34100: did it work
[03:18] <edbian> ?
[03:18] <KB1JWQ> Guest34100: That nick is taken.
[03:18] <wenlong> join #ubuntu-cn
[03:18] <Guest34100> interesting
[03:18] <edbian> Guest34100: /nick newName to change it
[03:18] <Guest34100> well I can install things again, which is the important part
[03:19] <edbian> Guest34100: yay!  What else is wrong?
[03:19] <Chipzzz> lucenut: if you do the install with the usb devices unplugged, maybe it will recognize the built in keyboard & mouse. You can add the usb devices after
[03:19] <Guest34100> the package I wanted to remove still isn't removing, but thats' ok
[03:19] <edbian> Guest34100: I can help with that too.  What's the package?
[03:19] <Guest34100> nwn, it's a custom one I was trying to work on
[03:19] <Lucenut> I don't have any usb devices.
[03:19] <edbian> Guest34100: oh, neat!
[03:19] <Guest34100> :)
[03:20] <Lucenut> Just onboard laptop keyboard/touchpad.
[03:20] <Guest34100> Granted I don't understand squat about making .deb packages, and the scripting work was done by someone else
[03:20] <Guest34100> so I made it and tried to run it, which is about the time that this all started acting up
[03:20] <edbian> Guest34100: I was trying to learn the same thing in the summer
[03:20] <edbian> Guest34100: It's probably not written well :P
[03:20] <Guest34100> :)
[03:20] <Guest34100> oh, that's for sure
[03:21] <Chipzzz> Sorry... I thought I saw that in a post earlier
[03:21] <Guest34100> though from what I read, there isn't much to write to make a .deb
[03:21] <Guest34100> just postinst script, and a prerm and postrm script
[03:22] <Guest34100> I figured that was the source problem for earlier stuff
[03:22] <Chipzzz> Did you try installing with the net disconnected so it wouldn't update?
[03:22] <edbian> Guest34100: well now you know how to fix it
[03:23] <Guest34100> yup, delete the lock file, which then frees up all of the apt programs :)
[03:23] <edbian> Guest34100: that's right
[03:24] <Guest34100> so what's your expertise then edbian?
[03:25] <edbian> Guest34100: My expertise?  Well that's a hell of a question :)  I'm a student in grad school for computer science
[03:25] <Guest34100> :), and that's a hell of an answer
[03:25] <edbian> Guest34100: hahah, thanks
[03:25] <Guest34100> I just switched to computer programming from biology after a few years
[03:26] <edbian> Guest34100: Oh you're in the right major buddy.  Comp sci is awesome!
[03:26] <Guest34100> taking a class on SQL right now, so I was downloading the query browser and openpoffice:database
[03:26] <edbian> Guest34100: why not install mysql and do the real thing
[03:27] <Guest34100> these were the first 2 options when I searched for "mysql" in USC
[03:27] <edbian> Guest34100: USC ?
[03:27] <Guest34100> Ubuntu Software Center, sorry
[03:27] <edbian> Guest34100: sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[03:28] <edbian> Guest34100: oh that's ok
[03:29] <SeaPhor> Guest34100: i have a uestion for you but not related to Ubuntu, its in opensuse
[03:29] <Guest34100> I don't see an option for just plane MySQL
[03:29] <Guest34100> hm? don't know jack about OpenSuse, but shoot
[03:29] <edbian> Guest34100: what options do you see?  I'm not sure MySQL has an entry in USC but I'm sure it's in the repos
[03:30] <edbian> Guest34100: USC doesn't show every package
[03:30] <Sengoku> smb is starting to piss me off..
[03:30] <Guest34100> hah, I just made up "USC" and everyone already uses it, I'm proud
[03:30] <edbian> haha, It's easier than Ubuntu Software Center
[03:31] <yuler> SeaPhor: #opensuse may be what you're looking for.  Also, search for "opensuse" @ http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/
[03:31] <Guest34100> well, I see "MySQL Client", "MySQL Administrator", "MySQL Navigator", "MySQL Server", "GMySQLcc", and a bunch of miscillaneous programs that rely on it
[03:31] <edbian> Guest34100: MySQL server my friend
[03:31] <edbian> Guest34100: the database is a server by definition
[03:32] <Guest34100> hmmm, OpenOffice.org:database is hanging again on install about 2/3 the way through
[03:32] <edbian> Guest34100: what's it say?
[03:32] <Guest34100> that's weird
[03:32] <needhelp> i need help with switching users on ubuntu
[03:32] <edbian> Guest34100: (just don't install it :P )
[03:33] <Guest34100> nothing, it has just been sitting there for a while
[03:33] <edbian> needhelp: su <userName>  to switch users
[03:33] <Guest34100> can't cancel it now, no X
[03:33] <edbian> Guest34100: ctrl + c
[03:33] <Mannyuel> how would i go about checking to see if my neighbors are using my wifi?
[03:33] <Guest34100> no response
[03:33] <Guest34100> I'll give it time, it's in the "Applying changes" stage
[03:33] <Mannyuel> fios isnt in my area yet
[03:34] <almoxarife> Mannyuel: ask them?
[03:34] <edbian> Guest34100: you're gonna have to kill the process by looking it up in ps -e again
[03:34] <needhelp> when i click the userswitch the screen goes black and flashes and then goes to the login screen with my original user name as the only option to log on
[03:34] <bonjoyee> Mannyuel: check the dhcp pool of your wifi router!
[03:34] <edbian> Mannyuel: look at your router's dhcp table
[03:34] <Guest34100> bah... if I have to go delete a file again and restart...
[03:34] <jds-> ok i let it cook for a while and then i get alot of weird stuff on the screen you get to by pressing f1
[03:34] <jds-> capslock isn't working on that computer
[03:34] <edbian> Guest34100: you do...
[03:35] <Guest34100> no chance it's just busy and I can wait it out?
[03:35] <edbian> Guest34100: you could
[03:35] <Guest34100> if feels dirty to have to dig into ubuntu's guts like that and delete thigns
[03:35] <jds-> GLib-WARNING **: getpwid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)
[03:35] <edbian> Guest34100: but ctrl + c should work
[03:35] <jds-> thats the first line
[03:35] <almoxarife> Mannyuel: better yet, tell your router to only allow your MAC, that then has you asking 'who shall I allow to use my router?"
[03:35] <edbian> Guest34100: It is not dirty.  The point of linux is that you can get your hands dirty :)
[03:36] <Guest34100> lol
[03:36] <SeaPhor> yuler: lol, thanks, i help out there too, no, my statement was that i needed non-OS related help with sqlite, but thanks again ;)
[03:36] <Guest34100> if I really wanted to get my hands dirty, I'd pick linux from scratch
[03:36] <Mannyuel> would i do that in terminaL?
[03:36] <needhelp> anyone?
[03:36] <edbian> Guest34100: haha, :)
[03:37] <KM0201> Guest34100: that is quiet an endeavor... especially for a newb... a complete newb, would never figure it out no matter how much reading they did.
[03:37] <edbian> needhelp: How many users are on the system?
[03:37] <jds-> the first reported error is "/usr/lib/user-setup/user-setup-apply: 05: shadowconfig:" i/o error

[03:37] <edbian> needhelp: But at that login screen you can't log in as anyone but you?
[03:37] <KM0201> needhelp: so just type the "other" name, and try to log in w/ it
[03:37] <edivaldo> nomes
[03:38] <needhelp> ttheres no option to type another name
[03:38] <jds-> the last line is [  262.201648] panic occurred, switching back to text console
[03:38] <edbian> Guest34100: this is hardly dirty btw, it's just using the terminal :)  if this was windows you'd have no options.  It just wouldn't work
[03:38] <edbian> Guest34100: and you'd have to restart
[03:38] <Guest34100> good point
[03:38] <jds-> what means through which can i facilitate the installation of ubuntu on my computer?
[03:38] <Chipzzz> needhelp: when you boot the machine do you have to log in or does it go straight to the desktop?
[03:38] <SeaPhor> needhelp: just goto tty1 and kill x, su to other user and then startx
[03:39] <edbian> !installation | jds

[03:39] <KM0201> jds-: its' fairly simple to install if you keep yoru eyes open
[03:40] <jds-> KM0201: ok
[03:40] <jds-> KM0201: i didnt even get to a command line or a gui
[03:40] <jds-> and now the capslock doesn't work
[03:41] <KM0201> jds-: what do you mean?.. are you actually nstalled, or are you on a live cd, or what?
[03:41] <jds-> im on my moms laptop
[03:41] <jds-> trying to install ubuntu 10.10 on my desktop
[03:42] <KM0201> jds-: have you managed to boot the cd?
[03:42] <jds-> KM0201: yeah
[03:42] <Chipzzz> needhelp: check out Sytem->Administration->Login Screen and make sure the option to allow other users to log in is checked
[03:43] <cp2_4eva> how do I uninstall the catalyst control center and all the ATI drivers?
[03:43] <SeaPhor> cp2_4eva: why would you want to do that?
[03:43] <jds-> im gonna re md5sum the cd so that i can verify its the same as on the server, can someone give me a link
[03:43] <crh0872> can someone give me the rundown on how to connect to wpa2 networks in ubuntu without gnome?  once I sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop, it disassociates
[03:43] <dhanijeremy> dadada....
[03:43] <KM0201> cp2_4eva: i believe there's a directory to uninstall the driver.
[03:43] <cp2_4eva> SeaoPhor, because I got an nvidia card and there are errors.
[03:44] <edbian> cp2_4eva: open synaptic, search catalyst and remove the package.  The name of the package that has the ati prop. driver is fglrx
[03:44] <SeaPhor> cp2_4eva: ati has an "uninstall" script...
[03:44] <needhelp> i dont see that option anywhere
[03:44] <KM0201> edbian: if he installed the driver from ati, thats not likely to work
[03:44] <SeaPhor> its in .....
[03:44] <cp2_4eva> SeaPhor, I don't know where that uninstall tool is located. I'm a newb. sorry
[03:45] <edbian> cp2_4eva: oh boy,... If the developer didn't provide an uninstall script then you're sol
[03:45] <SeaPhor> cp2_4eva: when u install ATI it has an uninstalll script, trying to find/remember where they put it...
[03:45] <cp2_4eva> SeaPhor, I think i got it. the package had a weird name
[03:45] <edbian> fglrx
[03:45] <crh0872> anyone familiar with connecting to wifi networks in ubuntu cli?
[03:45] <edbian> is the name
[03:46] <cp2_4eva> edbian, ok i got it. does that take out all the drivers too?
[03:46] <cp2_4eva> I had a problem on startup: mountall disconnected from plymouth.
[03:46] <edbian> cp2_4eva: I have no idea.  Reboot and see what happens
[03:46] <SeaPhor> cp2_4eva: my ATI box is at work or i could tell you where it is...
[03:46] <edbian> cp2_4eva: use lsmod | grep fglrx to see if it's being used
[03:47] <cp2_4eva> edbian, i'll install some updates first then get back to the reboot.
[03:47] <edbian> cp2_4eva: sure
[03:47] <Chipzzz> needhelp: if it isn't there, try editing the menus... maybe it isn't enabled by default
[03:47] <user> simple question. when i use | less command the screen stops. how do i get it bac to command prompt?
[03:47] <cp2_4eva> i think I am going to go 10.4 too. 10.10 has presented some probs for me
[03:47] <crh0872> user: q
[03:47] <edbian> user: q ?
[03:47] <user> :D thanks
[03:47] <user> lol
[03:47] <crh0872> lol
[03:47] <edbian> user: :)
[03:47] <user> heh heh
[03:47] <user> noooobie
[03:48] <cp2_4eva> any good backup and restore packages that you can recommend anyone?
[03:48] <Maniakes> Bacula
[03:48] <cp2_4eva> hmmm, i'll install and give it a try
[03:48] <SeaPhor> scp, ftp
[03:50] <cp2_4eva> anyone know how to get the "proprietary" nvidia drivers to work? this 800x600 is not cool. lol
[03:50] <cp2_4eva> i have a disk, but im not sure it supposed to work.
[03:50] <KM0201> cp2_4eva: nvidia should be as simle as sys/admin/additional drivers, and enable it
[03:51] <edbian> cp2_4eva: what kind of card do you have? nvidia or ati?
[03:51] <cp2_4eva> nvidia
[03:51] <SeaPhor> cp2_4eva: yes what KM0201 said, use the ones Ubuntu provides
[03:51] <cp2_4eva> um.....how do i enable it?
[03:51] <KM0201> cp2_4eva: are you listening?  sys/admin/additional drivers   highlight nvidia, and enable it
[03:51] <KM0201> then you'll robably have to reboot
[03:52] <cp2_4eva> KM0201, simple as right click and enable?
[03:52] <KM0201> cp2_4eva: yes... highlighti t.. and there's a button at the bottom that says "activate".. .hit it, it'll install some crap, then tell you to reboot
[03:52] <KM0201> man, you guys make stuff harder than it needs to be
[03:52] <cp2_4eva> KM0201, im in thw sys folder....no admin
[03:53]  * SeaPhor lol/s @ KM0201
[03:53] <KM0201> cp2_4eva: the MENU... jeez.. system/admin/additional drivers
[03:53] <KM0201> cp2_4eva: if you're not using ubuntu(which i now suspect your not)... go to whatever distro you're using', support channel
[03:53] <edbian> cp2_4eva: you know the menu at the top of the screen? Applications, Places, System...
[03:53] <Roasted> I have EXTREMELY low microphone volume in Ubuntu 10.10 on skype, however if I go into audacity and record myself it's clear as day with ample volume. Any ideas?
[03:53] <SeaPhor> cp2_4eva: System>Administration>...... In the GUI
[03:53] <cp2_4eva> KM0201, im sorry!!! I was thinkin CLI
[03:53] <cp2_4eva> i ot it
[03:53] <cp2_4eva> i got it
[03:53] <KM0201> cp2_4eva: well stop tryingto make crap more complicated
[03:53] <cp2_4eva> lol.
[03:54] <KM0201> you jstu installed the OS, and you think your'e ready to learn CLI
[03:54] <edbian> cli is the only way to go
[03:54] <edbian> cp2_4eva: learn on
[03:54] <crh0872> word
[03:54] <jrmcm> yup
[03:54] <KM0201> edbian: i disagree, but i guess thats just a matter of opinion
[03:55] <edbian> KM0201: I guess so! :)
[03:55] <Danny78_> ok, to speed up my server, I'm going to up RAM to 2 GB and replace the video card with a BFG Geforce w/512 MB GDDR RAM, plus a new 1 TB hard drive...  that should let me use gnome, if not also KDE, right?
[03:55] <cp2_4eva> you had /.../.../ so i figured CLI ya know?
[03:55] <jrmcm> well both have their uses
[03:55] <edbian> Danny78_: That is PLENTY to run gnome or KDE
[03:55] <KM0201> cp2_4eva: well how else would have have described system/admin/additional drivers  in a menu setting?
[03:55] <edbian> Danny78_: both at the same time!  on 4 monitors
[03:55] <SeaPhor> : System>Administration>......  I'm on the reboot portion now.
[03:57] <Danny78_> edbian:  can't wait to operate without lag
[03:57] <KM0201> Danny78: which BFG card is it?...
[03:57] <edbian> Danny78_: The processor is the most important part of course
[03:57] <uicz> hello! i desperateley need gdm 2.32 in maverick. how can i achieve this?
[03:57] <The_Maverick> anyone here have any experience with xubuntu?
[03:57] <Danny78_> edbian: its an Athlon 1.7 GHz
[03:58] <Danny78_> maxed out for mobo
[03:58] <crh0872> don't mean to spam this room but I've no idea how to connect to a wpa2 network without a gui...anyone?
[03:58] <edbian> Danny78_: That's the weakest part of your system
[03:58] <edbian> Danny78_: :)  single core?
[03:58] <Danny78_> edbian:  I have an Athlon 64 x2 but that will go into another comp with proper socket
[03:58] <KM0201> a 1.7ghz isn't that bad... unless you're doing some really intense number crunching or graphic type stuff
[03:59] <Danny78_> edbina--  yeah, the 1.7 is single core
[03:59] <The_Maverick> anyone know how to open a jar if the permissions tab doesnt show "allowing executable"?
[03:59] <edbian> Danny78_: Yeah, that's the weakest part of the system.
[03:59] <edbian> The_Maverick: Just make it executable?
[03:59] <litropy> I'm chrooted into my other partition, and while /proc does exits, it is empty. Why?
[03:59] <litropy> exist*
[04:00] <The_Maverick> edbian if i make it exe then it just opens folders inside
[04:00] <edbian> The_Maverick: That's what executing is
[04:00] <The_Maverick> edbian it has to open with java
[04:00] <cp2_4eva> KM0201, nvidia 460gtx is successfully working thanks to you......if I had a cookie I'd give it to ya.
[04:00] <edbian> The_Maverick: yeah
[04:00] <Danny78_> I'm going to put together another box with AM3/2 and use the dual core on it, w 4 GB ram
[04:00] <edbian> The_Maverick: execute it with java like this : java name.jar
[04:01] <KM0201> cp2_4eva: quite all right..lol, glad you got it working.. but you made it more difficult than needed
[04:01] <edbian> Danny78_: nice
[04:01] <cp2_4eva> km0201, thats what us new Ubuntu-ers do. make it more difficult
[04:01] <KM0201> true..
[04:02] <Danny78_> I also have Geforce 8500 GT and Geforce 8800 GS, I think...  the one with 300-something RAM
[04:02] <The_Maverick> edbian i choose to "open with java" and it is labeled a jar.
[04:02] <SeaPhor> KM0201: thats the job of a n00b ;) (no offense intended cp2_4eva, you said so yourself) ;P
[04:02] <The_Maverick> edbian it still doesnt work.
[04:02] <edbian> The_Maverick: sure
[04:02] <Danny78_> so in the end it'll be three decent boxes
[04:02] <KM0201> Danny78_: i have a 7900 w/ 512mb of ram, works perfect... also have an FX5500 w/ 256mb of ram, again, perfect
[04:02] <edbian> The_Maverick: Do it in the terminal so you can see some errors to figure out why it isn't working
[04:02] <KM0201> i use dual screens on both
[04:03] <cp2_4eva> SeaPhor, none taken. i know this is what i do. eventually i'll be on yourside of the spectrum callin out n00bs lol
[04:03] <KM0201> SeaPhor: yah, i guess so
[04:03] <The_Maverick> edbain how do i go abouts doing that?
[04:03] <edbian> The_Maverick: open the terminal
[04:03] <edbian> The_Maverick: cd to the file
[04:03] <edbian> The_Maverick: then do java fileName.jar
[04:03] <Danny78_> KM0201:  ubuntu is currently running on GEforece 5200 (128MB)
[04:03] <KM0201> Danny78_: oh ok>>>> :)
[04:03] <Chipzzz> The_Maverick: do you have java installed?
[04:04] <The_Maverick> chipzzz yes i do
[04:04] <cp2_4eva> i have another question. Actually i'llhave two, but i'll do one at a time. any reason why DVI wont work on this card but HDMI does?
[04:04] <The_Maverick> edbian how do i do the cd? pretty new
[04:05] <Danny78_> KM0201:  the bottleneck right now has got to be the 512 MB RAM
[04:05] <edbian> The_Maverick: cute, alright.  When you open the terminal it is in your home folder.  it is always in some folder.  if you type ls it wil llist the contents of hte folder it is in
[04:05] <KM0201> Danny78_: i'd almost 100% guarantee.. have yout ried lubuntu or xubuntu
[04:05] <SeaPhor> The_Maverick: type cd /path/to/dir/file....
[04:05] <Danny78_> so, for now, I'm using XFCE
[04:05] <Chipzzz> The_Maverick: is the jar on your desktop?
[04:05] <edbian> The_Maverick: To move to a new folder you use cd (change directory)  like this: cd /home
[04:05] <edbian> The_Maverick: Make sense?
[04:06] <The_Maverick> chipzzz yeah its on my desktop
[04:06] <Danny78_> KM0201:  I tried xubuntu but it wasn't liking my hardware
[04:06] <uicz> how can i upgrade gdm to 2.32 in maverick?
[04:06] <edbian> The_Maverick: open a terminal, cd Desktop, java fileName.jar
[04:06] <Chipzzz> The_Maverick: just type "cd Desktop"
[04:06] <Chipzzz> (in a terminal window)
[04:06] <sacarlson> cp2_4eva:  I see there is a setting in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to activate DVI Find the line that says Section "Screen" Insert a new line that says Option "UseDisplayDevice" "DFP".   as seen in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[04:07] <KM0201> Danny78_: well if ubuntu likes your hardware, xubuntu will like your hardware, they are the same thing... i'd be like saying a Red Ford F150, is better than a Black Ford F150.. theya re the same thing, just cosmetically ifferent
[04:07] <cp2_4eva> sacarlson, ok i;ll check it out thanks
[04:07] <Danny78_> KM0201:  then maybe it was a bad cd burn
[04:07] <KM0201> Danny78_: depends..were you having probs w/ the live CD?
[04:07] <fix> hey
[04:07] <The_Maverick> edbian i do cd desktop. then i put the file name.jar and it says command now found
[04:08] <edbian> The_Maverick: java file.jar
[04:08] <Chipzzz> The_Maverick: capitalization counts
[04:08] <fix> I have ubuntu desktop 10 and GeforceFX5200, why dont I have any hardware acceleration???
[04:08] <KM0201> fix: here's hoping you don't go crazy tonight.
[04:08] <edbian> The_Maverick: you need the word java!
[04:08] <KM0201> oh wait... that was fixxer
[04:08] <Danny78_> KM0201:  to be honest, I don't remember, it might have been no internet connection or lots of lag
[04:08] <edbian> The_Maverick: and yes, it needs to be perfect, no typos, capitalization counts
[04:08] <fix> I know my card is old, but I know it can run OpenArena, so why doesnt Ubuntu ship with decent drivers?
[04:08] <KM0201> Danny78_: no internet?.. were they both 10.10?.. and lag... that may well be, if you were on the CD... live cd's are slow no matter what w/ only 512mb of ram
[04:08] <fix> I have no 3d whatsoever
[04:09] <atem> hello i want to be a good linux user, but i have no idea to where i can start, some tip????
[04:09] <Chipzzz> The_Maverick: "cd desktop" won't work, it's "cd Desktop"
[04:09] <KM0201> fix: did you install the nvidia driver?  (didn't we just go through this?)
[04:09] <edbian> atem: Are you using Ubuntu?
[04:09] <atem> hello i want to be a good linux user, but i have no idea to where i can start, some tip????

[04:09] <crh0872> minecraft!!
[04:09] <Danny78_> KM0201:  I just know ubuntu runs smoothest
[04:10] <Aginor> The_Maverick: what's your command line that you run it with?
[04:10] <Aginor> The_Maverick: or are you just double clicking?
[04:10] <edbian> The_Maverick: I'm not sure what the hell is wrong with that.  Try this. Close the terminal, open a new one and run this: java Desktop/minecraft.jar
[04:10] <edbian> Aginor: He says it doesn't run if he double clicks it
[04:10] <Aginor> edbian: won't work
[04:10] <KM0201> Danny78_: well thats fine... as long as something works.
[04:10] <KM0201> Danny78_: was the ram on ebay new?
[04:10] <bpgoldsb> Anyone know of any open-source software that will agregate available updates on many machines into something central? i.e. serverA has updates for apache, linux-image, serverB has updates for openssl, etc

[04:10] <edbian> atem: Are you using Ubuntu?

[04:11] <Aleiex> Hi, i want to play online with my ps2, but don't know how to in ubuntu.
[04:11] <Aleiex> pls help!!!!!
[04:11] <edbian> The_Maverick: Go to his website.    There is a lengthy one if I remember correctly
[04:11] <Aginor> edbian: it needs to have -jar if you're going to run things from a jar file
[04:11] <edbian> Aginor: Ah, thanks
[04:12] <fix> I have no 3d acceleration, I cant install the nvidia driver because it was compiled with a different compiler than my kernel and Nvidia dont offer src in their support site
[04:12] <fix> anyone?
[04:12] <KM0201> fix: if you're gonna PM me, at least answer my question
[04:12] <The_Maverick> well i did mention that i was using xubuntu, but it worked fine in regular ubuntu
[04:12] <KM0201> rather than just repeating crap here
[04:12] <cp2_4eva> sacarlson, should I reboot. And do I need to use " " because I saw some other lines that did have that
[04:12] <Danny78_> KM0201:  no, used Kingston pair
[04:12] <edbian> The_Maverick: from this site:  http://www.minecraft.net/download.jsp   I can see run it like this: java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp Minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
[04:12] <SeaPhor> fix: use the ones supplied by Ubuntu in the synaptics
[04:12] <KM0201> Danny78_: kingston is good ram.
[04:13] <Danny78_> KM0201:  yeah, I tried others but finally settled on it
[04:14] <Aginor> edbian: that's more complicated than it needs to be, but it would work ;)
[04:14] <edbian> Aginor: yeah
[04:14] <Aginor> The_Maverick: I can't help you with xubuntu, I've never tried it
[04:14] <Danny78_> I needsleep, talk to you all later
[04:14] <Aginor> The_Maverick: although it really is just a different graphical environment
[04:15] <The_Maverick> aginor all i really think it has to do with is permissions
[04:15] <edbian> The_Maverick: maybe...
[04:16] <paul__> I just installed ratpoison (by doing sudo apt-get install ratpoison) but it doesn't show up when i start up ubuntu... just Gnome and gnome safe, anyone know why?
[04:16] <Sean93> i just installed ubuntu on an old pc. it won't detect my usb pen drive. any ideas why?
[04:17] <Northwoods> when i try to create a folder in /var/www/ when i right click , the option to create folder/file is disabled , probably permissions , i'm logged in as main user , how do i get around it ?
[04:17] <The_Maverick> edbian it is saying that it is blocked
[04:17] <Aginor> The_Maverick: no, it sounds more like the windowing environment is passing the wrong argument to the java process, so it thinks that minecraft.jar is a class, instead of a jar archive full of executable files
[04:17] <bonjoyee> Sean93: any specific messages in dmesg?
[04:17] <Northwoods> edbian: ?
[04:17] <edbian> Northwoods: either use the terminal and the mkdir command with sudo.  Or open a nautilus window as root with gksudo nautilus
[04:18] <Sean93> bonjoyee, how do i check?
[04:18] <edbian> The_Maverick: what is saying what is blocked?
[04:18] <edbian> Northwoods: How did you know I would answer?! :)
[04:18] <Northwoods> :)
[04:18] <edbian> Northwoods: but when you're done with the window you should close it
[04:18] <Northwoods> what is gksude nautilius ?
[04:18] <The_Maverick> edbian The file '/home/maverick/Desktop/Minecraft.jar' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit.
[04:18] <edbian> gksudo is graphical sudo.  Sudo opens a command as root temporarily
[04:19] <bonjoyee> Sean93: after connecting the drive...run "dmesg | less " in terminal...and see the last few lines
[04:19] <SeaPhor> Northwoods: if youare trying to setup a webserver, use CLI and you may need to use sudo -i so you dont have to keep repeating "sudo.."
[04:19] <edbian> The_Maverick: chmod +x /home/maverick/Desktop/Mindecraft.jar
[04:19] <Sean93> bonjoyee, alright, one sec
[04:19] <edbian> The_Maverick: Make it executable (it's a permissions thing)
[04:19] <Northwoods> thankyou guys
[04:19] <edbian> Northwoods: It worked I take it?
[04:20] <The_Maverick> edbian alright that worked. thank you edbian
[04:20] <edbian> The_Maverick: the games works! :)
[04:20] <Northwoods> edbian: not tried it yet , but want to make shortcut for webbrowser
[04:21] <The_Maverick> edbian sorry about mentioning late that it was xubuntu. getting help on the xubuntu channel is about as effective as fighting in water
[04:21] <edbian> Northwoods: good idea
[04:21] <edbian> The_Maverick: I would do the same thing.  Just dont' mention it's xubuntu cause most of the time it doesn't make a difference.  Get famiailar with the terminal.  That doesn't change (usually not even across differen distros)
[04:22] <fix> hmm which version of nvidia driver would be appropriate for GFX5200 ??
[04:22] <fix> hmm which version of nvidia driver would be appropriate for GFX5200 ??
[04:22] <xangua> edbian: why not mention is xubuntu¿¿
[04:22] <edbian> xangua: Because most of the time it doesn't matter.
[04:22] <The_Maverick> edbian yeah i have used both. i just like xubuntu's speed and weight a little better. from what i have seen most things are the same.
[04:23] <edbian> I don't get on here and say, Hey I'm running gnome Ubuntu, how do I remove the apt lock?
[04:23] <edbian> The_Maverick: yep, it's just a graphical front end
[04:24] <edbian> Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to play need for speed on wine :)
[04:24] <fix> Please RDP into my computer and help me delete windows XP ,  RDP- <IP_ADDRESS> user-administrator psw- password or blank
[04:25] <KM0201> fix: that has to be the dumbestthing ever posted in the channel
[04:25] <The_Maverick> edbian yeah i cant use any other distro except for ubuntu .04 and xub .04. broadcom made sure of that. i think the drivers work, but dont think the firmware is available
[04:25] <fix> lol
[04:25] <Gnurdux> hey, is anyone on here running the Linux native Cortex Command?
[04:25] <edbian> The_Maverick: Ubuntu just downloads the firmware from some website
[04:25] <Sean93> bonjoyee, im not on the computer, its downstairs so i can't past it to you, but i didnt see anything about a usb
[04:25] <KM0201> The_Maverick: the firmware is easily installed from the repositories, but you need the machine temporarily connected to the internet
[04:26] <edbian> I am running suse that grabbed the firmware just fine
[04:26]  * SeaPhor lol/s @ KM0201 fix .....
[04:26] <fix> my stupidity has been cronicled on the front page of wired.com
[04:26] <bonjoyee> Sean93: can you remote login into that computer?
[04:26] <KM0201> SeaPhor: the dude is amazing
[04:26] <Sean93> bonjoyee, no internet, the only way i can get the wireless drives on the computer is by usb
[04:27] <Chipzzz> Sean93: try opening a terminal and typing "lsusb"
[04:27] <Sean93> Chipzzz, lsusb is empty
[04:27] <bonjoyee> Sean93: ethernet? local network?
[04:27] <The_Maverick> km0201 i have installed ubuntu .04 and .10 the exact same way. no go. i have even updated from .04 to .10 and it always kills my network
[04:27] <Sean93> bonjoyee, no can do
[04:27] <KM0201> The_Maverick: so your wireless doesn't work right now?
[04:27] <bonjoyee> Sean93: usb disabled in bios?
[04:28] <The_Maverick> km0201 it works with .04 not .10
[04:28] <slgma> where is the list of applications in the "Open With..." Dialog stored?
[04:28] <KM0201> The_Maverick: which wireless device do you have?
[04:28] <slgma> mine has about 50 Adobe Photoshop CS2 entries
[04:28] <SeaPhor> KM0201: takes all kinds to make the world turn,,, but we can make them stronger, better, we have the tech....
[04:28] <slgma> and lots of other duplicates
[04:28] <Sean93> bonjoyee, thats the thing, i checked the bios and couldnt find anything related to usb
[04:28] <Chipzzz> perhaps a missing or unavailable driver
[04:28] <The_Maverick> km0201 broadcom
[04:28] <KM0201> SeaPhor: he can't listen for nothing, i was even nice and PM'd him, and he can't follow a simple direction, so i gave up
[04:28] <dayra> ok
[04:28] <KM0201> The_Maverick: there's a lot of broadcoms.. which one
[04:28] <The_Maverick> km0201 one second
[04:29] <kaushal> hi
[04:29] <bonjoyee> Sean93: all usb drives(thumb) usually need a single driver thats in the kernel..
[04:29] <KM0201> woops
[04:29] <kaushal> is there a utility to split 200 MB zip file into 10 zip files of 20MB each ?
[04:29]  * KM0201 hit the wrong X
[04:29] <cp2_4eva> another question from a newb. So i saved some data onto another partition of my HDD, if I load another OS, will I still have privileges to use that data....if I didn't set it to 777?
[04:30] <Sean93> bonjoyee, i used another computer to host the hard drive when installing ubuntu and then put the hard drive back into the old pc. could that be causing problems?
[04:30] <bonjoyee> Sean93: also after you plug it in..there should be atleast something logged in syslog / kern.log ect..
[04:30] <The_Maverick> km0201 im not sure. what is the terminal command for finding out?
[04:30] <Blue1> kaushal: iirc rar does that
[04:30] <diemos> cp2_4eva: yes you can access it, if it's from windows permissions shouldn't be a problem
[04:30] <KM0201> The_Maverick: lspci       should show it
[04:30] <kaushal> ok
[04:30] <bonjoyee> Sean93: nope..linux configures/detects the hardware on startup!
[04:30] <diemos> cp2_4eva: if it's from linux even you shouldn't have a problem as long as you have root privs available
[04:31] <cp2_4eva> diemos, it's form Ubuntu 10.10. I am going to oad 10.4 over it. totally erase 10.10.
[04:31] <SeaPhor> fix: i'll try to help you if you want, but will need to be in a separate channel, tooo much here, i have my own- PM me for the details
[04:31] <Sean93> bonjoyee, where is syslog located?
[04:31] <KM0201> SeaPhor: you've been warned, my pet rock listens better than he does
[04:31] <The_Maverick> km0201 Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
[04:31] <bonjoyee> Sean93:  /var/log
[04:31] <diemos> cp2_4eva: just need to chown yourusername -R /path/to/mounted/disk
[04:31] <Sean93> bonjoyee, ill go check
[04:31] <diemos> might need to sudo chown
[04:31] <KM0201> The_Maverick: that device should work fine w/ the b43 driver under 10.10...
[04:31] <bonjoyee> Sean93: is the usb good in the first place?
[04:32] <The_Maverick> km0201 it doesnt :(
[04:32] <SeaPhor> KM0201: i think my pet rock and yours need to hook up,,, maybe they can do it ;)
[04:32] <cp2_4eva> is it possible that I can load 10.4 through the 10.10 OS and keep my setting and files?
[04:32] <diemos> but that will recusively (in all subfiles and directories) change ownership
[04:32] <The_Maverick> km0201 i can enable the b43 or the sta and the same outcome
[04:32] <KM0201> The_Maverick: then you're doing something wrong... i just set that device up for someone yesterday
[04:32] <KM0201> The_Maverick: did you install the firmware?
[04:32] <KM0201> when you use b43?
[04:33] <The_Maverick> km0201 not sure how to do that other than just installing the sta or b43 drivers
[04:33] <dayra> no
[04:33] <KM0201> The_Maverick: what driver are you using under 10.04.... sta or b43?
[04:34] <The_Maverick> km0201 sta, but i have used b43 and it will work too.
[04:35] <cp2_4eva> hey anybody...is there a install wizard of some sort that will easily let me install one version of Ubuntu over another? totally wiping out the previous Ubuntu but still keep settings?
[04:35] <KM0201> The_Maverick: well, most likely when you install 10.10, you can use the STA driver... but you need to make sure the packages are installed for the STA driver to work
[04:36] <KM0201> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
[04:36] <xangua> cp2_4eva: no, just make a copy of your important data and next time make a partition for Home ;)
[04:36] <KM0201> The_Maverick: see above, and look at installing the STA driver "wo internet access"
[04:36] <The_Maverick> km0201 i do choose the sta driver and i completely update pkgs and it doesnt work
[04:37] <pienkie> hi guys. I've recently upgraded an xmbc machine of mine (which config was pretty sweet, bt just a tad underpowered); I yanked out the the HDD from the old system & put it in the new one, and upgraded the GPU from an NVidia to an ATI. I seem to be having trouble with the drivers, both proprietary & FLOSS. any ideas, please? things were sooooooo much simpler with EnvyNG
[04:37] <KM0201> The_Maverick: hm, it should work fine...
[04:37] <cp2_4eva> xangua, ok thanks.
[04:37] <The_Maverick> km0201 i know it should....
[04:37] <KM0201> pienkie: yeah, much easier w/ envy..lol
[04:37] <Sean93> bonjoyee, usb is definitely good. AFAIK there is nothing about it in syslog
[04:37] <KM0201> The_Maverick: 32 or 64bit?
[04:37]  * SeaPhor HATES envy
[04:37] <The_Maverick> km0201 64
[04:37] <KM0201> ahhh...
[04:38] <KM0201> i think something happened in the last 10.10 kernel upgrade, that broke the broadcom driver in 64bit.. i'm almost positive i read that
[04:38] <pienkie> KM0201: what the hell happened with envy? it simplified life so much?
[04:38] <SeaPhor> its like malware for linux
[04:38] <KM0201> pienkie: it met its long overdue death... thank goodness
[04:38] <Sean93> what is envy?
[04:39] <KM0201> Sean93: it's a program that made people who used it, envious of those who didn't
[04:39] <Sean93> lol
[04:39] <pienkie> KM0201: what? so now we have to introduce new users of the joys & frustrations (aka "private hell") of dealing with drivers?
[04:39] <slgma> anyone know where the list of files that show in the Open With gtk dialog are stored? i got alot of entries that i wanna remove but the remove button is greyed out on the ones i wanna get rid of
[04:39] <KM0201> pienkie: what graphics card are you havinga  problem w/?
[04:39] <The_Maverick> 'km0201 yeah that sounds possible. i mean there arent too many mistakes you can make when installing fresh. i install, update, restart, install drivers then restart again and just doesnt work. all connected to the internet via ethernet cable
[04:40] <pienkie> KM0201: at the moment I have an ATI Radeon 3450 HD
[04:40] <bonjoyee> Sean93: using usb drives should be a no brainer actually, i believe it has to do something with the usb connection/ bios..
[04:40] <Sean93> bonjoyee, you here?
[04:40] <KM0201> pienkie: ok... so you need to download the ATI driver.. it's not that difficult
[04:40] <Chipzzz> pienkie: one of those tried to drive me to drink recently. the drivers are less than perfect
[04:41] <randy_> I mp4 with sd reader can't saft remove
[04:41] <Sean93> bonjoyee, what should i look for in the bios?
[04:41] <pienkie> Sean93: envyng was a little app you could install & run to simply select your brand of vid card (ATI, NVidia, Intel), select what driver you wanted (open or closed source) & it simply automagically installed & configured it for you. no mess, no fuss!
[04:41] <bonjoyee> Sean93: tried different usb ports? does the led blink after inserting it?
[04:41] <KM0201> Sean93: what pienkie fails to tell you, is envy was WELL known for trainwrecking systems
[04:42] <randy_> even I can remove the mp4 itself,but can't remove it mp4's sd reader
[04:42] <Sean93> bonjoyee, i havnt tried another port. the light flashes when connected
[04:42] <pienkie> KM0201: I've downloaded & installed the 200MB installer, but the results are not all that hot. I'll try reinstalling the generated .deb's again.
[04:43] <bonjoyee> Sean93: is this a simple usb storage / some usb modem?
[04:43] <KM0201> pienkie: dependin on the card, some of the ATI cards aren't all that great
[04:43] <shilow> lately my  update manager has been tryin gto do a dist-upgrade and i havent changed any settings  and have it set to only upgrade to  long term  releases  anyone have any idea  why its tryin gto do a dist-upgrade?
[04:43] <Sean93> bonjoyee, usb storage
[04:43] <pienkie> KM0201, Sean93: envy may have wrecked systems, as I'm sure many other apps have in the past, but I cannot honestly say I've heard of or experienced any such issues myself of from my mates.
[04:44] <KM0201> pienkie: then you weren't hanging out here in #ubuntu back when Envy was at the height of its popularity (ubuntu's 6.06, 6.10, 7.04, 7.10)
[04:45] <pienkie> KM0201: I've got an identical card in another system of mine, & if works well. I'd be *very* happy running the FLOSS drivers if it gived me 3D h/w-accelleration & decent performance. how can I *force* it's use & reconfig?
[04:45] <slgma> anyone know where the list of files that show in the Open With gtk dialog are stored? i got alot of entries that i wanna remove but the remove button is greyed out on the ones i wanna get rid of
[04:45] <nunya> I can't get another xwindows manager to install properly on my computer... =(
[04:47] <KM0201> pienkie: i'm not really that familiar w/ the ATI probs... but i know the few times i've helped someone download/install the driver from ATI.com, they'e been happy with it
[04:47] <KM0201> pienkie: personally, i use Nvidia... so i have a rather trouble free life
[04:47] <SeaPhor> KM0201: i remember in around 7.04 days when i even mentioned "envy" the ops would threaten to kick/ban me.. then in the next release it was in the repos???
[04:47] <KM0201> SeaPhor: yup!...lol
[04:47] <KM0201> SeaPhor: the funny thing was, even after they put it in the repos, you'd get kicked if you recommended it
[04:47] <avis> how do i disable apparmor ?
[04:48] <administrator_> 大家好哦
[04:48] <administrator_> 请问无线网卡驱动怎么安装呢
[04:49] <shcherbak> !cn | administrator_
[04:49] <smw> !cn | administrator_
[04:49] <pienkie> KM0201, SeaPhor: that's pretty *retarded* discouraging people to use tools that would make their life simpler; a better way to approach it would've been to encourage people  to contribute & assist in testing & providing feedback
[04:50] <The_Explorer> Hi i dont know if anyone knows how to do this, but i need help badly and ive been looking for hours.I need to boot a -> Bootable DVD image, from a USB drive: Contained within the image is a Multiboot GNU-grub?* ... ttttthing.
[04:50] <smw> pienkie, the issue is that no one wants to help when things go wrong
[04:50] <smw> pienkie, envy is trouble. It is useful, but if it fails, good luck
[04:50] <SeaPhor> pienkie: the bottom line is,,, do NOT use envy unless you have exhausted ALL other options
[04:51] <shcherbak> !envy
[04:52] <pienkie> smw, SeaPhor: I;ll avoid envy, considering the advice you've graciously provided, but I am begining to graps at straws. I may soon have to consider a complete reinstall, fo envy cannot do harm as a last resort… just my opinion…
[04:52] <randy_> how to solve can't safe remove usb
[04:53] <shcherbak> !mesa
[04:53] <bonjoyee> Sean93: what usb slots you used? front or the back? (assuming this is a desktop)?
[04:53] <SeaPhor> pienkie: the bottom line is,,, do NOT use envy unless you have exhausted ALL other options... i got rid of it in 7.04, took wiping the hdd and completely reinstalling the OS to completely remove EVERYTHING that it attached itself to,,, it was like malware ... or Norton..
[04:53] <randy_> administrator_, 我是中国人,I can help ypu
[04:53] <smw> pienkie, use envy before reinstalling
[04:53] <Chilaquiles> I got disconnected
[04:53] <smw> pienkie, no reason not to ;-)
[04:53] <smw> pienkie, just don't expect much help from people here...
[04:54] <pienkie> smw: yea… *ideally* I'd prefer just getting it right to begin with....
[04:54] <Chilaquiles> who was helping me with my wireless card?
[04:56] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: i'm still here.
[04:56] <KM0201> Chilaquiles: you just vanished earlier
[05:00] <qwertzy> How can I circumvent the "only root can give programs a negative nice value" problem? I want to be able to start mplayer with a decent nice value without any pipes and/or sudo.
[05:01] <pienkie> qwertzy: run with root rights, or use an ap such as top/htop/renice to alter nice value
[05:02] <qwertzy> Yeah, do you actually read stuff?
[05:02] <SeaPhor> lol
[05:03] <blakehill> could someone help with a compiz/unity problem on ubuntu netbook 10.10? i installed the nvidia drivers but compiz won't enable effects (allows me to choose normal/extra, says "searching for drivers" then the screen blanks and it asks me if i want to keep the effects, but no effects get enabled
[05:03] <blakehill> i think that's preventing unity from starting
[05:06] <Sean93> bonjoyee, On boot im getting an error saying "piix4_smbus 000:00:07.3: host SMBus controller not enabled!"
[05:07] <toxictuxman5000> so 11.04 is moving to the cloud hows that work?
[05:08] <KM0201> hmm, guess he didn't care
[05:08] <KM0201> lol
[05:08] <matematikaadit> I'm using Dell Vostro 3400 core i3. Some days ago my bluetooth works, but suddenly it doesn't work. I can't browse my phone storage via bluetooth. How do i fix it? What information do must I supply?
[05:09] <blakehill> how can i check what version of nvidia driver is installed?

[05:17] <IdleOne> !10.04
[05:17] <KM0201> awk: if its the desktop, i think april 2013
[05:17] <IdleOne> awk: April 2013 (Desktop)
[05:17] <IdleOne> April 2015 (Server)
[05:18] <ben0> anyone know how to use backintime on a network drive
[05:18] <KM0201> awk: just embrace the horror, and use the non-lts (unless you're in an enterprise environment)
[05:18] <awk> IdleOne: Thanks :)
[05:18] <BoneRaper> i have a white bochito
[05:18] <ben0> i'd like to be able to backup 2 linux boxes, 2 mac osx's and possible one windows machine on a main ubuntu server
[05:18] <awk> KM0201: no, I come from a debian background, I like stability and not being bleeding edge or i'd use gentoo
[05:19] <SeaPhor> ben0: ftp and rsync
[05:19] <KM0201> awk: then 10.04 it is (but why not use the debian stable release?)
[05:19] <awk> KM0201: hmm I have been using it for years, just believe it's coming to an end soon.
[05:19] <ben0> SeaPhor: can you expand a bit?
[05:19] <ben0> thx :)
[05:20] <KM0201> hmm
[05:20] <awk> Then need to upgrade, if Ubuntu is supported till 1015, great.
[05:20] <thiefy> SeaPhor, is there a gui app to set up rsync?
[05:20] <slgma> anyone have any experience troubleshooting VNC?
[05:20] <SeaPhor> thiefy: if there is i dont know,, i use cli
[05:21] <thiefy> is it hard to set it up SeaPhor ?
[05:21] <SeaPhor> ben0: setup the storage box with vsftp and then back everything up
[05:21] <xm4n> hello?
