[12:45] <Ichat> blade  im wild guessing really  but i would give it a  40  or maybe  60% chance of  fixing your problem...   -    depending on how well the documentation is for you exact device
[12:45] <chenlong> Thelz:need reconfig.maybe you should make \etc stand alone.
[12:45] <andreiutz> greppy, no, just that nothing happens
[12:45] <greppy> in a terminal, do a "tail -f /var/log/messages" while you plug in the drive
[12:45] <andreiutz> xinglight, I have installed it about 3 weeks ago
[12:45] <Thelz> Should I just use the Install feature on the CD rom? Or use the repair feature and then reinstall over it?
[12:45] <greppy> make sure it sees that you plugged it in :)
[12:46] <Thelz> chenlong> reconfig doesn't worry me, as long as the files remain
[12:46] <greppy> Thelz: where are the files at?
[12:46] <greppy> Thelz: are they on a partition other than /?
[12:46] <Evo11> Hi guys. I'm in need of some help
[12:46] <Thelz> there's only one partition
[12:47] <greppy> Thelz: then your data will be gone.
[12:47] <glebihan> !ask | Evo11
[12:47] <Thelz> (and to be frank, I'm not a linux/ubuntu expert... there's one ubuntu file server in a network of otherwise windows computers)
[12:47] <xinglight> :-D i glad to help anybody. if i can,.....  howerver . most of time i do not know how to help....
[12:47] <chenlong> Thelz:you should make more partition.
[12:47] <cyberrider> andreiutz: do u speak romanian?
[12:48] <cyberrider> join #ubuntu-ro
[12:48] <Thelz> greppy> Hmm, ok, so I need to export the data first... but right now, neither my network nor samba seems to be working :
[12:48] <greppy> Thelz: have an external USB drive?
[12:48] <andreiutz> greppy, where can I paste you the output
[12:48] <Thelz> yeah, but I don't know if I have the drivers for that installed
[12:49] <glebihan> !paste | andreiutz
[12:49] <iceroot> how to see if a file is a link to another file or if it is a "real" file
[12:49] <airtonix> iceroot, simply use : ls -o
[12:49] <Evo11> I'm running the latest ubuntu server edition. I had map drives on my window machines. Up until yesterday the server was running fine. But now today my window machines can't seem to reconnect the map drives. I have done a update on my Ubuntu server but still l can't seem to get my window machines to reconnect the map drives
[12:49] <sacarlson> iceroot: ls -l
[12:49] <airtonix> iceroot, even just ls will show you if it is a symlink or not
[12:50] <Evo11> what do you think is the problem and how can l go about to sort this problem out?
[12:50] <iceroot> airtonix: i am interestet in hardlinks
[12:50] <quack> iceroot: avoid hardlinks if you can.
[12:50] <Cojage> hey
[12:50] <Cojage> what is the easiest mailserver?
[12:51] <Cojage> postfix?
[12:51] <iceroot> airtonix: so the file is 1 time on the hdd on 3 different locations
[12:51] <glebihan> iceroot: in the case of hard links, there's no *real* file
[12:51] <airtonix> iceroot, ok, for me in gnome-terminal i think symlinks are having red background, and hardlinks have a blue background
[12:51] <airtonix> iceroot, not ideal but there you go
[12:51] <greppy> iceroot: ls -l the file you are worried about, after the permissions will be a number, if it's higher than one, it's a directory or a hardlink.
[12:51] <andreiutz> greppy, it flaps on and of I think, please check the output that never stops :)
[12:51] <iceroot> greppy: the number is 2, to i guess its a hardlink
[12:51] <quack> icerrot: only when you remove the last hard link you will remove the file.
[12:52] <iceroot> quack: correct, that is a hardlink
[12:52] <glebihan> iceroot: this means that there are 2 links to that file
[12:52] <airtonix> iceroot, also, when i use ls -o or ls -l. ls displays results in column form (therefore showing the target item of the link)
[12:52] <iceroot> glebihan: is there also a way to see where the other file is?
[12:52] <iceroot> -rw-r--r-- 2 root                root              0  2. Sep 17:12 juhu
[12:52] <glebihan> iceroot: I don't think so, let me check
[12:52] <iceroot> this should be a hardlink and juhu is two times on the hdd
[12:53] <greppy> andreiutz: hrm, got a link from that pastebin?
[12:53] <iceroot> ok i createt another hardlink and the number is 3, so everything is fine
[12:53] <quack> iceroot: so you have to know in advance all references to an hardlink in order to free the space on disk.  Worse than checking if a symlink is dangling or not.
[12:53] <andreiutz> greppy, sorry http://paste.ubuntu.com/502593/
[12:53] <BiG-M> anybody knows about kthreadd and its spawns :(
[12:54] <iceroot> quack: i dont care about freeing the space, that is part of the kernel
[12:54] <iceroot> quack: or the filesystem, i dont know
[12:55] <BlaDe^> it dropped again, I have a dmesg if anyone would be kind enough to take a look... I'll pastie
[12:55] <awanti> I had lost my User name and root password.. is there any chance to create new one without losing any data
[12:55] <rww> !password | awanti
[12:55] <quack> icerrot: what I mean is that if you have a file and do not know all hardlinks pertaining to it, you will find a hell of a trouble unlinking it away to recall the disk space.
[12:56] <BlaDe^> The link is here: http://pastie.org/1188738
[12:56] <iceroot> quack: if i am correct, unlink foobar is killing foobar and all hardlinks of it
[12:56] <quack> With symlinks you can always dereference the symlink, erase the file and the symlink and check for other symlinks.
[12:57] <andreiutz> greppy, sorry http://paste.ubuntu.com/502593/
[12:57] <iceroot> quack: but i need hardlinks because i wrote a backup-script using rsync with hardlinks and deleting old backups automaticly
[12:57] <quack> icerrot: unlink foobar only detetes foobar IF you are deleting the LAST symlink.  If not, the file persists.
[12:57] <iceroot> quack: so for every new backup i only have to copy new files, else rsync is setting a hardlink
[12:57] <iceroot> quack: and have a look at "tab" to complete my nick correctly
[12:58] <iceroot> quack: but that is fine that foobar will only get complety deleted if there is no foobar anymore
[12:58] <quack> Call from EXTERNAL-PROGRAM with "ln file newhardlink".
[12:59] <Thelz> greppy: Happen to know where I can read more about replaceable drives and moving files for the ubuntu shell?
[12:59] <quack> iceroot: does your program know ALL hardlinks?  (same disk volume, only on files)
[12:59] <glebihan> iceroot: the -samefile option of find should allow you to find all hard links to a file, ie "find / -samefile juhu"
[13:00] <quack> icerrot: if so, use EXTERNAL-PROGRAM to do it.  You can use clbuild or asdf-install to bring it down.
[13:00] <e1b26> Domain join operation failed to create the computer account in Active Directory. Common causes are a bad administrator password, a bad OU name, or an existing computer account without modification permissions.
[13:00] <glebihan> iceroot: it'll take some time though...
[13:00] <e1b26> cant anyone help me
[13:00] <e1b26> Domain join operation failed to create the computer account in Active Directory. Common causes are a bad administrator password, a bad OU name, or an existing computer account without modification permissions.
[13:00] <e1b26> i get this error
[13:00] <Braber01> hi I'm having a problem with my keyring, I'm using the login SHELL, and I can't get onto the internet unless I startx and enter my login password again
[13:00] <e1b26> while joining ubuntu in domain
[13:00] <e1b26> of ADS server 2003
[13:01] <greppy> Thelz: just about any external USB drive should work, you could even format it as fat32 (assuming you don't care about file permissions) and then it would be readable by your windows machines.
[13:01] <awanti> ubottu Thank you very much u solved my problem..
[13:01] <iceroot> quack: rsync knows all hardlinks
[13:01] <Braber01> !thanks | awanti
[13:01] <iceroot> glebihan: thank you
[13:01] <Thelz> greppy> I'm mostly referring to the required shell commands
[13:01] <glebihan> iceroot: you're welcome
[13:01] <greppy> andreiutz: I want to say that it is unhappy, I'd hit up google searching for "wd external linux" and see what pops up :)
[13:01] <quack> e1b26: use smbpasswd -a root, assign a new passwd to root, and then use root to add the domain.
[13:01] <Thelz> (Not really my setup, and I'm trying to save what I can here)
[13:02] <greppy> Thelz: do you have an external drive plugged into it?
[13:02] <Thelz> yeah, and then rebooted
[13:02] <BlaDe^> It appears the issue i'm having is also here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/610440
[13:02] <quack> iceroot: if you are sure, use them.  No harm trying.  You can always resort to symlinks later.
[13:03] <e1b26> still its same /......
[13:03] <iceroot> quack: with symlinks i have a big problem
[13:03] <greppy> Thelz: ok, at a terminal: df -kh
[13:03] <greppy> Thelz: do you see a new partition there?
[13:03] <iceroot> quack: i make a backup everyday, on the first day i create foobar, the day 2-6 i dont change foobar, on the 8 day i delete the backup from day 1. have fun with symlinks...
[13:04] <iceroot> quack: for that, hardlinks are perfect
[13:04] <greppy> iceroot: have you thought about using rsnapshot?
[13:04] <andreiutz> greppy, thank you !
[13:04] <iceroot> greppy: no, its a special integration with some tricks
[13:05] <leonidus> i hve made a webpage and intalled a LAMP server ... how do i proceed to host on my server?
[13:05] <BlaDe^> can I downgrade from 2.6.32-24-generic to 2.6.32-23 ?
[13:05] <iceroot> BlaDe^: normally you still have that kernel in the grub menu
[13:05] <airtonix> leonidus, investigate portforwarding for your adsl modem/router
[13:05] <greppy> BlaDe^: was the old kernel removed?
[13:05] <Braber01> Hi I was wondering if anybody could solve my keyring problem, I use a scure wireless network, however everytime I login using the login Shell, then startx I'm prompted to enter my password again to start my internet is there a way I can fix this?
[13:05] <Thelz> greppy> I see 2 /dev/mapper/ lines... they both have the size of the harddisks inside (which should be mirrored into one harddisk using the sweex controller)
[13:06] <quack> iceroot: I do not understand why the problem there.  Just create the foobar-YYYMMDD.bkp file, close it, symlink through EXTERNAL-PROGRAM, and open the symlink with WITH-OPEN-FILE.
[13:06] <greppy> leonidus: also check to make sure you won't be in violation of your ISP AUP :)
[13:06] <gsedej_work> hi! Where in 10.04 is GDM (theme, background) configuration file?
[13:06] <Thelz> one is /dev/mapper/Lapje-root (where Lapje is the server's name)
[13:06] <greppy> Thelz: ok, "dmesg | grep -i usb"
[13:06] <Thelz> the other is /dev/mapper/sil_ajajacgfbgbj5
[13:06] <BlaDe^> greppy:  I'm not sure I went straight from 9.10 to 10.04
[13:06] <Braber01> exit
[13:06] <airtonix> gsedej_work, there is not one. gdm2 themes are handled the same way your desktop theme is handled (this time round the login is done by the user called "gdm")
[13:06] <BlaDe^> I have the issue which is here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/610440
[13:07] <quack> iceroot: close the symlink when you rotate the backup by falling out of WITH-OPEN-FILE and open a new one with the procedure above.
[13:07] <leonidus> k greppy
[13:07] <greppy> BlaDe^: when you reboot, does grub give you the option of using the old kernel?
[13:07] <BlaDe^> some people say that it doesn't exist in the 2.6.32-23 kernel
[13:07] <BlaDe^> no greppy
[13:07] <airtonix> gsedej_work, so you need to run the appearances program while at the login screen
[13:07] <iceroot> quack: rsync has a build-in check-and-build-hardlink option
[13:07] <gsedej_work> airtonix, I need to change this on multiple pc, remote
[13:08] <gsedej_work> airtonix, you can't just copy .config, .gnome2, ...?
[13:08] <awanti> I want to connect my friend system (Ubuntu machine) through terminal using ssh. I am getting confuse how can i connect because he as 3 pc (he is using NAT for Internet )
[13:08] <Thelz> greppy: That shows a lot of stuff, and near the end there's "Device found at 2", but df -kh doesn't show it
[13:08] <greppy> awanti: he has to setup a forward on his router for you to be able to connect
[13:08] <greppy> Thelz: ok
[13:08] <iceroot> quack: so i dont need to fight with symlinks, also rsync is checking if the file is already there as a hardlink and not sending the same file again, so i dont have to fight with diffs too
[13:08] <gsedej_work> awanti, if he is using router, he needs to have port forwarding enabled
[13:08] <greppy> Thelz: just means that it did not mount it automatically, not a big deal.
[13:09] <airtonix> gsedej_work, i think you can do it with gconf-tool2
[13:09] <jink> bobthemilkman: Well, this is brilliant.... :(  I upgraded to lucid.  That didn't make my new kernel work, but the 27-7 still works, so that's fine.  Now I installed the 35-22-virtual as per your instructions, and that doesn't work.  After grub, it just says: [Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3400, size=0x430190]  [Initrd, addr=0x37c6c000, size=0x383712]
[13:09] <bobthemilkman> Get the headers, too.
[13:09] <gsedej_work> airtonix, thanks, I will try
[13:09] <Thelz> I have no idea how the usb drive is formatted. It's empty, tho, so it can be reformatted.
[13:09] <bobthemilkman> I think.
[13:09] <airtonix> gsedej_work, you might like to use the tool : ssh-cluster to send one command to many machines at the same time
[13:09] <gsedej_work> airtonix, thanks for advice! :)
[13:10] <BlaDe^> is anyone able to advise on my problem?
[13:10] <jink> bobthemilkman: Will do.  Brb. :)
[13:10] <greppy> Thelz: cd /dev/disk/by-id
[13:10] <greppy> Thelz: ls -l
[13:10] <awanti> i think he did every thing... but i want to know how to connect his pc... because he has only one ip address.. Through one ip he is connected to 3 pc. So here i want to access one of that pc... So how can i do this
[13:11] <awanti> ?
[13:11] <fnb> hey guys, I have just updated my 10.04 ubuntu installation and now my graphics are all messed up, I can only use the generic drivers and not the ati drivers
[13:11] <fnb> any ideas?
[13:11] <airtonix> gsedej_work, http://www.debianadmin.com/ssh-on-multiple-servers-using-cluster-ssh.html
[13:11] <greppy> BlaDe^: what kernel did you want to boot?
[13:12] <BlaDe^> well here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/610440 states that  2.6.32-23 doesn't have the issues
[13:12] <gsedej_work> airtonix, ok.. but there must be file on PC where gdm user has it's config files right?
[13:12] <chenlong_> awanti:use a rounter.
[13:12] <gsedej_work> I did on 1 machine manually (gnome-control-center
[13:12] <awanti> how plz.?
[13:13] <greppy> BlaDe^: what kernel package do you have installed?
[13:13] <Thelz> greppy: The last 2 lines refer to my USB drive, with ../../sdc and ../../sdc1
[13:13] <greppy> ok
[13:13] <BlaDe^> 32-24 , greppy : http://pastie.org/1188738 that's a dmesg which i was hoping may help diagnose the issue
[13:13] <greppy> Thelz: as root: mkdir /mnt/sdc1
[13:13] <airtonix> gsedej_work, im not sure, because gtk theme is stored with gconf. and to easily edit the gconf settings for the GDM user you would need to find where it stores its gconf settigns folder
[13:13] <greppy> Thelz: as root: mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/sdc1
[13:14] <gsedej_work> airtonix, I am searching for this! :)
[13:14] <airtonix> gsedej_work, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1448323
[13:14] <Thelz> mkdir cannot create directory, read only file system...
[13:14] <chenlong_> gsedej_wor:just right click.
[13:14] <greppy> BlaDe^: sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.32-23-generic
[13:15] <Thelz> greppy: Ubuntu found errors on the drive, which it seems unable to repair. Since then it has been acting like that, which is why I want to backup/reinstall
[13:15] <greppy> Thelz: ok... are you booted up into single user mode right now?  did the system crash or something?
[13:16] <greppy> Thelz: ah, mount -o remount,rw /
[13:16] <gsedej_work> chenlong_, what did you mean?
[13:16] <Thelz> I'm not exactly sure what happened. Earlier today I was copying files from a windows computer to the ubuntu computer, when suddenly windows gave a write error.
[13:16] <greppy> Thelz: then try the mkdir and mount commands again.
[13:16] <amol_> Hi all
[13:16] <amol_> What is the command to list all the drivers?
[13:16] <LjL> amol_: sudo lshw will do that
[13:16] <awanti> quit
[13:17] <serrneiros> hi all :)
[13:17] <Thelz> greppy: Got no feedback. Tried the mkdir again, and no feedback on that either :)
[13:17] <amol_> LjL, Thanks :)
[13:17] <greppy> Thelz: how about the mnt command?
[13:17] <chenlong_> gsedej_work:nothing.

[13:19] <vjpadron> buenas tardes
[13:19] <gnubuntu> hi
[13:19] <greppy> Thelz: ok, where is the data you want to save?
[13:19] <vjpadron> alguien por el canal de español
[13:19] <LjL> !es | vjpadron
[13:19] <vjpadron> buenas LjL
[13:20] <vjpadron> que tal, mira tengo una duda, me bajé un manual comprimido en winrar y quiero instalar el winrar en ubuntu, pero no me lo abre
[13:20] <Thelz> I'm not 100% sure, would have to check the samba.conf file for that... everything on the disk fits on the drive though... can't I just backup it all?
[13:20] <vjpadron> que tengo que hacer
[13:20] <greppy> Thelz: you could, but depending on what all is on there, you may be grabbing more than you need/want.
[13:20] <Thelz> It's like 1gb of ubuntu data and 60g of documents, so that 1 gb ain't gonna make a difference
[13:20] <greppy> *nod*
[13:23] <amol_> Integrated Webcam not working, please help
[13:23]  * Arafangi1n remembers the days when 1GB was *heaps* of space for an OS.
[13:23] <Thelz> arafangi1n> tell me about it... I think I ran windows 3.1 on a 40MB disk just fine :P
[13:23] <erUSUL> 20 MiB was plenty of space for MS-DOS 4.xx ;P
[13:24] <Thelz> MS DOS fits on one floppy... just the extra utilities
[13:24] <jink> bobthemilkman: That didn't help. :/
[13:24] <bobthemilkman> I'm out of ideas.
[13:24] <Arafangi1n> There was a time when even that 40MB disk would've been fine for linux.
[13:24] <bobthemilkman> Aside from go to an earlier kernel.
[13:24] <meidor> I can no longer connect to the WPA2-Enterprise PEAP-MSCHAPV2 my university has. My dmesg says deauthenticated by local choise (reason=3). I'm sure all my settings are correct, anyone who knows if there is fix?
[13:24] <ewook> Arafangi1n: it still is
[13:24] <Arafangi1n> ewook: Including the compiler?
[13:25] <Thelz> Ok, so what would the command be to copy the files to the usb drive?
[13:25] <ewook> Arafangi1n: :D. well... erhm..
[13:25] <greppy> Thelz: cp -R / /mnt/sdc1/
[13:25] <jink> bobthemilkman: 27-7 is what I use, now.  That works, but it seems silly. :/
[13:25] <greppy> it will probably take a while
[13:25] <bobthemilkman> Nothing silly about using what works.
[13:25] <Arafangi1n> ewook: I think the days of tomsrtbt are over. :( (Although I'm aware... That has no compiler, but 1.44MB!!)
[13:25] <gsedej_work> airtonix, I found it. Its in /usr/lib/gdm :)
[13:25] <jink> bobthemilkman: Heh, true dat. :)
[13:26] <gsedej_work> airtonix, I mean /var/lib/gdm :)
[13:26] <bobthemilkman> brb, I gotta restart because I upgraded my own kernel several hours ago and it's starting to cause issues.
[13:27] <Thelz> getting some permission denied errors on what seem to be system files, and of course it won't copy /mnt/sdc1/ itself... but I'll just check after what's on the disk
[13:27] <Thelz> anyhow, big thanks to your help so far, greppy
[13:28] <greppy> Thelz: no problem, and you might still be able to use fsck to fix the problems on the drive without having to reinstall.

[13:33] <Arafangi1n> What about !ask?
[13:33] <Anthony> is there any risk to upgrading ubuntu when its installed by wubi
[13:33] <LjL> that one does exist!
[13:33] <juk> LjL: ok, that's better
[13:34] <mika__> hi, i'm trying to make a screencast with gtk-recordmydesktop.. it works, but is there a way to stop the recording with a single click instead of open the menu and do stop? as the menu that way is showed in the video and it'd require a video editing just to remove it..
[13:34] <sacarlson> Anthony: I guess there is always some risk with upgrading as I see many people here come after they do upgrade
[13:34] <leonidus> i hve made a webpage and intalled a LAMP server ... how do i proceed to host on my server?
[13:34] <orlando> list
[13:34] <Anthony> i'm here before i upgrade to 10.10
[13:34] <leonidus> my ISP is ok with hosting
[13:35] <airtonix> leonidus, did i not already tell you that you need to investigate portfrowarding ?
[13:36] <greppy> leonidus: does your server have a public IP address or is it behind a NAT router/gateway with an RFC1918 IP?
[13:37] <sacarlson> leonidus: I asume he has an adsl home system,  you need to setup your modem to forward ports to your server if you do
[13:37] <Guest28606> !list
[13:38] <leonidus> sacarlson, which port do i take in for http
[13:38] <rww> 80
[13:44] <hinano> server irc.in.tum.de

[13:50] <Rishab> hello any one there to look at my matter
[13:51] <amol_> Integrated camera not working, please help
[13:51] <silv3r_m00n> is it possible to create an image of a folder , in some other location such that it appears to be a copy of the original folder but they both are actually the same thing ?
[13:52] <syrius> is it normal for piviti to take 11 hours to render a one hour song with a static image?
[13:52] <silv3r_m00n> making changes in either of them reflects in both
[13:52] <ChogyDan> syrius: is the eta going up or down?
[13:52] <popey> mika__: please test and file bugs, it's under active development unlike recordmydesktop!
[13:52] <ppq> silv3r_m00n, maybe you want a symbolic link. see 'man ln'
[13:52] <glebihan> silv3r_m00n: you can create a symbolic link, no hard links for folders
[13:52] <syrius> eta goes up and down ChogyDan
[13:53] <silv3r_m00n> glebihan: means ?
[13:53] <syrius> the file its outputting is at 16 mb now
[13:53] <silv3r_m00n> what is a hard link ?
[13:53] <Gryllida> how do I undo one action in vi?
[13:53] <syrius> it is encoding with mp4 with lame mp3
[13:53] <sipior> Gryllida: "u", in normal mode
[13:53] <glebihan> silv3r_m00n: as ppq suggested, you should refer to the manual of "ln"
[13:53] <iflema> Gryllida pre esc the u
[13:54] <glebihan> silv3r_m00n: a hard link is a location in the file system which points to a physical location on the drive
[13:54] <ChogyDan> syrius: well, Ive found pitivi sucks too.  next release might be a little better
[13:55] <Gryllida> sipior: Thanks
[13:55] <mika__> popey: i'll sure do it... (we're used to camtasia under windows... but i'm looking to move all the machines to ubuntu)
[13:55] <glebihan> silv3r_m00n: there can be several hard links for a file, not for a folder
[13:55] <silv3r_m00n> glebihan: there is a folder form inside /var/www  now I want this folder to appear inside /var/www/a and /var/www/b as if it was inside both of them
[13:56] <silv3r_m00n> is that possible ?
[13:56] <handjob> Hi. What's the name of default pdf reader in ubuntu?
[13:56] <erUSUL> handjob: eveince
[13:56] <atude> I want to optimize my system. I feel it's a bit too heavy on software I don't care for or need and I have over 200 process that start up when I first log in. That's a bit too many
[13:56] <erUSUL> handjob: evince

[13:56] <handjob> erUSUL: Thank You.
[13:56] <handjob> Bye.
[13:56] <atude> lol
[13:56] <glebihan> silv3r_m00n: a symbolic link should handle this, see the "-s" option of "ln"
[13:57] <silv3r_m00n> I have come up with this >> ln -s /var/www/form /var/www/a/form
[13:57] <kataq> horussz: yahoo and pidgin have never worked for me either
[13:57] <silv3r_m00n> and how do we delete these symbolic links ?
[13:57] <glebihan> silv3r_m00n: yes that'll work
[13:57] <erUSUL> silv3r_m00n: with rm like any other file
[13:57] <glebihan> silv3r_m00n: just as any file, with rm
[13:57] <silv3r_m00n> erUSUL: kewl
[13:57] <horussz> thanks
[13:57] <pure_hate> ikonia: ping
[13:57] <ppq> silv3r_m00n, you can simply delete the link with rm. but be sure not to delete the link-target-folder
[13:58] <silv3r_m00n> I created a symlink for a folder , didn't work :(
[13:58] <silv3r_m00n> are symlinks available only for files ?
[13:59] <maedox> silv3r_m00n: symlinks can point to anything
[13:59] <maedox> silv3r_m00n: « ln -s /from/path /to/path »
[14:00] <erUSUL> silv3r_m00n: it should work; tell us wehat command you used and how it failed
[14:00] <silv3r_m00n> ya did that , it created the symlink
[14:00] <evon> I know there is a search function in nautilus but is there a file search tool that gives the same search options as windows or more for linux?
[14:00] <silv3r_m00n> but when I double click that symlink in dolphin , nothing happens
[14:00] <maedox> silv3r_m00n: « rm /to/path »  to remove it. DO NOT put a -rf on the rm command.
[14:00] <silv3r_m00n> naither can I do cd new_path
[14:00] <dPix> hello :)
[14:00] <mika__> popey: just something missing: ability to record just a window/region of the screen, and the possibility to stop the record with just one click without show the menu (as gtk-recordmydesktop.... ctrl+alt+s doesn't work :) )
[14:00] <silv3r_m00n> maedox: hmm
[14:01] <maedox> silv3r_m00n: what does « ls -l path » give you?
[14:01] <popey> mika__: i filed a bug asking for keyboard shortcuts just last night :)
[14:01] <Thelz> What does "Revalidation failed" when trying to copy stuff? (There's a couple of lines in front of them)
[14:02] <mika__> popey: :)
[14:02] <silv3r_m00n> oh ok
[14:02] <silv3r_m00n> works now
[14:02] <dPix> a good but using litle resources mp3 player?
[14:02] <erUSUL> silv3r_m00n: ln -s directory linkname
[14:02] <silv3r_m00n> well , yes this is good , this I what I wanted :D
[14:02] <mika__> popey: btw it's very good... thanks
[14:02] <erUSUL> dPix: winamp stile?
[14:02] <erUSUL> !info audacious
[14:02] <popey> mika__: np, the author is a good guy, and is keen to keep developing the project
[14:03] <mika__> popey: let's hope so... it would be another great app in the linux world :)
[14:04] <evon> I know there is a search function in nautilus but is there a file search tool that gives the same search options as windows or more for linux?
[14:04] <erUSUL> evon: Accesorioes>search ?
[14:05] <dPix> erUSUL, do you know aimp?
[14:05] <giusepppe> evon, use google desktop
[14:05] <erUSUL> dPix: no
[14:05] <wez^> is there a way to make a fresh ubuntu 10.04? i'm kinda messed up mine right now.... :(
[14:05] <undecim> If I run pulseaudio is system mode, can I let everyone use it to output audio, but allow only one group of people to change the volume or otherwise control pulseaudio?
[14:05] <Braber01> Hi every time I login on my computer , I have to run startx if i want to get on the internet is there a way around this?
[14:06] <jg47hm> guys how to sent files via bluetooth (from computer to mobile phone)???
[14:06] <erUSUL> !info qmmp | dPix
[14:06] <mattgyver> wez^, its probably easier to just backup important files and reinstall
[14:06] <dPix> erUSUL, http://programegratis.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/aimp.png
[14:06] <undecim> Braber01: You have a minimal install, I assume and network manager doesn't auto-connect to your network?
[14:06] <evon> giusepppe: i've heard of google gadgets but not google desktop
[14:06] <wez^> mattgyver: is it possible to degarde my distro back to 9.10? then upgrade it again if possible?
[14:06] <dPix> erUSUL, the thing is that I have 1 gb ram and 1 ghz cpu clock
[14:07] <dPix> erUSUL, do you think audacius would be a good choice then?
[14:07] <giusepppe> evon, it look likes Finder on Mac
[14:07] <evon> erusul: lol. i didn't even know that was there.  Thanks
[14:07] <aeon-ltd> !downgrade | wez^
[14:07] <jg47hm> guys how to sent files via bluetooth (from computer to mobile phone)???
[14:07] <Braber01> undecim: When I was using the GUI login it would automatically connect so I have no clue
[14:07] <mattgyver> wez^, anythings possible really but its gonna mean a lot of manual downgrading of packages and its really not gonna guarantee its pristine
[14:07] <evon> giusepppe: I actually don't know what that looks like. is it already packaged on ubuntu or do I have to install it?
[14:07] <erUSUL> dPix: both of the programs i linked you are very similar to this aimp just try them
[14:08] <dPix> jg47hm, bluetooth-wizard on a shell
[14:08] <undecim> Braber01: Is it an ethernet or wifi connection?
[14:08] <Braber01> undecim: wifi
[14:08] <mattgyver> wez^, the way to go is just backup /home and maybe /etc, restore /home and cherry pick conf files you know you need back in /etc
[14:09] <jg47hm> dPix, what do you mean "on a shell"?
[14:09] <ChogyDan> Braber01: you may need to use cnetworkmanager
[14:09] <undecim> Braber01: If it were me, I would just install wicd and remove network-manager
[14:09] <Braber01> cnetworkmanager?
[14:10] <jg47hm> dPix, what do you mean "on a shell"?
[14:10] <dPix> jg47hm, just run it on command promp
[14:10] <leshak> someone can help me? http://pastebin.com/mgi2EVxz
[14:10] <Braber01> ChogyDan: is that somthing like network manager but for using it in the shell?

[14:12] <maedox> Thelz: that is unheard of :P #ubuntu-server
[14:12] <erUSUL> Thelz: you can ask here; but probably more help in there ...
[14:12] <Thelz> ok, thanks, didn't know
[14:12] <sacarlson> eKyNoX: maybe leave the -t ext4dev out of your mount.  most the time it auto finds the partition type to mount for you
[14:12] <erUSUL> !raid > Thelz
[14:13] <Thelz> thanks
[14:13] <erUSUL> evon: sorry; not for you
[14:13] <Thelz> I actually was running a hardware raid

[14:14] <dPix> how to "udpate" the system in the way of local system, folders and all that. for example, if I delete "Music" folder @ ubuntu, it wil still appear @ "Places" on the taskbar
[14:14] <Jigal> can anyone help me with this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3819800/errors-when-testing-with-phpunit-3-5/3821029#3821029
[14:14] <Thelz> There's a Sweex network controller in the computer, with two identical SATA drives connected to it. The Sweex controller is supposed to be running the drives in mirrored raid mode
[14:14] <Ichat> Thelz:   -- you meen  like a hardware raid with its own processor and  memory  - or the one in  your mobo like   nVidia   has
[14:15] <giusepppe> Hi. I failed putting user on Ubuntu Installation (It should be 'giuseppe' not 'giusepppe'). How can I fix it?
[14:15] <sacarlson> eKyNoX: and heres a bit more details on what you might need for grub2 fix http://paste.ubuntu.com/497677/
[14:15] <boulabiar> how to make the mouse pointer larger than the maximum allowed in the config. window ?
[14:15] <boulabiar> where can I find the config file for the mouse pointer and co. ?
[14:15] <Thelz> Ichat> The Sweex controller is a PCI card, and the two SATA drives are connected to the PCI controller. I've set up the mirror in the Sweex control panel that appears on startup, right after the bios startup.
[14:16] <mattgyver> giusepppe, try usermod -l <old name> <new name>
[14:16] <Ichat> Thelz:   - if its sweex than its probably fakeraid (driver raid)...  and in that case try to make it set to   sata (ide) mode  and use    kraid    (kernal /  linux  /  sofware  raid in stead)
[14:16] <erUSUL> Thelz: if i where you i would use linux software raid
[14:17] <shadow98> hey guys is there a way to create seperate vnc sessions so another user can remote desktop into desktop without using my session
[14:17] <Thelz> Ok, well, I didn't do that now... but then I know how to do it next time. Had some problems, so busy trying to back up my files, and then I'll reinstall everything from scratch
[14:17] <giusepppe> mattgyver, giusepppe@giusepppe-desktop:~$ usermod -l giusepppe giuseppe
[14:17] <giusepppe> usermod: user 'giuseppe' does not exist
[14:17] <baaba> hi, i'm having some trouble with japanese language support in maverick, in particular, the fonts that are being used have some really unusual and nonstandard strokes
[14:17] <undecim> giusepppe: I think you have the names backwards
[14:17] <juk> !x11vnc | shadow98
[14:17] <mattgyver> giusepppe, yeah i said it backwards it looks like :(
[14:18] <undecim> giusepppe: Or rather mattgyver gave you the names backwards
[14:18] <dPix> how to "udpate" the system in the way of local system, folders and all that. for example, if I delete "Music" folder @ ubuntu, it wil still appear @ "Places" on the taskbar

[14:18] <DarkStar1> hi ppl. Just a quick question. I want to dual boot ubuntu on my macbook pro, and want to use the 64 bit version. Which iso file do I need because the one I downloaded yesterday doesn't seem to work
[14:18] <shadow98> juk: that didn't work
[14:18] <jg47hm> dPix, thanks
[14:18] <aeon-ltd> DarkStar1: amd64
[14:18] <ibrahim-kasem> Hi, i have installed compiz and added some effects, now I want to un-install it and cancel all the effects how can i do that please?
[14:19] <juk> shadow98: for me works
[14:19] <DarkStar1> aeon-ltd: that's the one I downloaded
[14:19] <undecim> dPix: You should be able to right-click on "Pictures" from a file browser and remove it
[14:19] <Ichat> Thelz:  -  does the sweex card support an  ide mode?
[14:19] <aeon-ltd> ibrahim-kasem: just uninstall and the effects won't run
[14:19] <shadow98> juk: im talking the !x11vnc thing
[14:19] <shadow98> !x11vnc
[14:19] <trinity> i all

[14:19] <illytaco> hey folks, is wubi actually a way to install ubuntu as a windows app? or does it actually partition the drive and install ubuntu as a dual boot OS?
[14:19] <aeon-ltd> !mac
[14:19] <ibrahim-kasem> aeon-ltd: Thnx, I will do this now.
[14:19] <juk> shadow98: well, look in software cneter then
[14:19] <shadow98> [14:19] <eKyNoX> sacarlson : it's the mount part where's my problem is located
[14:20] <eKyNoX> from your link
[14:20] <eKyNoX> don't want mount partition
[14:20] <DarkStar1> thanks guys I'll check it now
[14:20] <erUSUL> illytaco: the former; it uses a big file as disk image in the windows filesystem
[14:20] <dPix> undecim, no because it will not let me choose any option, will understand it as "open"
[14:20] <erUSUL> !wubi > illytaco
[14:20] <juk> shadow98: software center, apt-cache aptitude synaptics
[14:20] <Ichat> Oer:  - can i pm you for a sec?
[14:20] <benkong2> hey all
[14:21] <illytaco> ahh cool! thanks!
[14:21] <benkong2> is there a script or developer tool that will allow me to recursively search a dir and add podcasts to rhythmbox?
[14:21] <undecim> dPix: I don't mean the menu. Open your home folder and you should see the "Pictures" shortcut in the sidebar.
[14:21] <Oer> Ichat sure
[14:21] <juk> benkong2: it does that in gui
[14:21] <sacarlson> eKyNoX: ya just take out the type in you mount command and it should work
[14:22] <benkong2> juk: I tried import a folder but that does not import them
[14:22] <annecy> I've just noticed that Wireless functionality has disappeared. I last used it a fortnight ago and I can't think what I might have done to disable it, except I've got AWN installed and I had a startup script to disable wifi which I got from https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+question/67614, but I've since disabled it.
[14:22] <eKyNoX> sacarlson : i did => mount -t ext4dev /dev/sda3 /mnt
[14:22] <krishnan> i use ubuntu 9.04 and im nt able to find the available network icon on the top right side of the panel
[14:23] <eKyNoX> sacarlson : return : wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda3.
[14:23] <aeon-ltd> krishnan: add the applet to your panel
[14:23] <undecim> krishnan: press alt+f2 and type "nm-applet" and see if that fixes it
[14:23] <juk> benkong2: what kind of files you trying to import?
[14:23] <Thelz> Ichat> sorry, back.... I can just enable both the harddisks as if they are regular IDE harddisks (they're actually SATA). The RAID feature is optional.
[14:23] <benkong2> juk: mp3 podcasts
[14:23] <sacarlson> eKyNoX: yes change to mount /dev/sda3 /mnt
[14:24] <Thelz> I do need to use the controller, since the mobo doesn't support SATA
[14:24] <krishnan> undecim: checking
[14:24] <eKyNoX> sacarlson : returns unknown filesystem type ext4
[14:24] <juk> benkong2: for mp3 first you need install codecs
[14:24] <benkong2> dir structure is /Music/My Podcasts/Author One/*.mp3
[14:24] <undecim> If I configure pulseaudio as a server, can I let everyone output sound while allowing one group to change the volume and otherwise control the server?
[14:24] <sacarlson> eKyNoX: what live boot disk are you running
[14:24] <benkong2> juk: done codecs installed
[14:24] <erUSUL> eKyNoX: secon time... is ext4 *no* ext4dev ...
[14:24] <JDuke128> hi , is wvdial buggy ? i cant use wvdial to make 3g gprs connection , vdial: utils/wvtask.cc:202: WvTaskMan::WvTaskMan(): Assertion `getcontext(&get_stack_return) == 0' failed.
[14:25] <benkong2> It will already play podcasts if I subscribe to them
[14:25] <eKyNoX> sacarlson : debian 506
[14:25] <JDuke128> how can i fix this problem ?
[14:25] <juk> benkong2: so how you importing folder?
[14:25] <krishnan> undecim: i did not get anything while running nm-applet
[14:25] <dPix> undecim, no it is not there
[14:25] <eKyNoX> sacarlson : i'm on debian
[14:25] <eKyNoX> sorry
[14:25] <sacarlson> eKyNoX: I guess debien doesn't support ext4
[14:25] <dPix> undecim, it is only @ the shortcut at "Place"...
[14:25] <benkong2> control +O or music import
[14:25] <undecim> krishnan: Are you able to see other icons, like rhythmbox (when it's running) or your battery?
[14:25] <hclo> hey !
[14:25] <sacarlson> eKyNoX: download ubuntu 10.04 livecd and try again
[14:25] <krishnan> undecim: yes
[14:26] <undecim> krishnan: open a terminal
[14:26] <eKyNoX> sacarlson : ok, trying to restore my debian with ubuntu live cd, correct ?
[14:26] <krishnan> undecim: ok
[14:26] <juk> benkong2: so what are you getting?
[14:26] <undecim> dPix: Let me do some googling....
[14:26] <dPix> undecim, maybe restarting will work, any command for restarting linux and no the computer?
[14:26] <spajderix> hi
[14:26] <benkong2> It brings the files in under music
[14:26] <bazhang> eKyNoX, debian for #debian support
[14:26] <undecim> dPix: I don't think that would fix it, but what you would want to do is just log out, then back in
[14:26] <sacarlson> eKyNoX: so the system you are restoring is also debian?
[14:27] <krishnan> undecim: what next?

[14:28] <mattgyver> ortsvorsteher, i had the same problem with a compaq, adding 'options snd-hda-intel' to the bottom of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf fixed it for me
[14:28] <DarkStar1> aeon-ltd: brb. hope this works this time
[14:29] <sacarlson> spajderix: you could buy a usb to rs232 converter I guess

I want to intall ubuntu (or another linux distro even. on my Imac's EXTERNAL usb hard drive. I CAN get through the installation fine enough but i just cannot seem to be able to BOOT from anything other then the primary HDD or tje ubuntu disk via the eFIT screen. HELP! lol please and t
[14:31] <jpkeelty> you.
[14:31] <ChesterX> Does a similar program to Spector Pro exist for ubuntu/linux?

[14:31] <hans-lunix> Hello all, I am trying to install a intel wifi card, but its hard... anyone ca n help a bit?
[14:32] <sacarlson> spajderix: you can check this out http://blog.mypapit.net/2008/05/how-to-use-usb-serial-port-converter-in-ubuntu.html
[14:32] <krishnan> undecim: ok
[14:32] <glebihan> juk: brb=be right back
[14:32] <undecim> krishnan: I'm not using the default network manager, so I have to google the sm-disable part XD
[14:33] <spajderix> sacarlson: thanks, looking into it right now
[14:33] <juk> glebihan: huh, that's smart, will take noute
[14:34] <undecim> krishnan: Alright, couldn't figure out what it does, but it seems like it's always used when starting nm-applet... Type "killall nm-applet" and see if the ps aux command still shows the same after that
[14:36] <sacarlson> jpkeelty: you might try look at your bios settings to see if it supports boot off usb,  it might support it if set to do so.
[14:37] <jpkeelty> sacarlson: in on an Imac... using OSX... there is no bios
[14:37] <sacarlson> jpkeelty: to see your bios setting you will have to reboot and hold the keys they tell you that are shown at boot time
[14:37] <sacarlson> jpkeelty: oh ok I know nothing

[14:40] <undecim> jpkeelty: Does unetbootin run on OSX?
[14:40] <undecim> krishnan: no problem
[14:41] <sacarlson> DrDamnit: can the live boot systems have internet access?  why not just have the scripts downloaded after boot from your http server or other

[14:41] <jpkeelty> undecim: no just windows and linux
[14:41] <krishnan> undecim: u have any idea on how i can connect an external hard disk in a network?
[14:42] <vegard_kvt> DrDamnit: You could also check out uck, which gives you the oppurtunity to modify Live CDs.
[14:42] <sacarlson> DrDamnit: I know you can add to a live cd if that's what you really want
[14:42] <undecim> krishnan: You mean a disk connected to your computer?
[14:42] <miosec> 提前祝大家国庆快乐！
[14:42] <DrDamnit> sacarlson: In certain cases, DNS wouldn't be available, so I would need the scripts to configure the NIC in order to get on the internet. Otherwise, downloads would be fine. Plus... never trust a user to download and execute bash scripts, right?
[14:42] <undecim> jpkeelty: I'm not familiar with macs, so I'm not sure...
[14:42] <vegard_kvt> DrDamnit: http://uck.sourceforge.net/
[14:42] <krishnan> no
[14:43] <krishnan> undecim: no, without tht, to a router, but thr is no USB is thr any other way?
[14:43] <blackdoggy> E: nvidia-current: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
[14:43] <DrDamnit> vegard_kvt: downloading uck.
[14:43] <blackdoggy> help
[14:43] <sacarlson> DrDamnit: ya and why not just have it auto boot your code and by just stick in the disk and turn it on
[14:43] <DrDamnit> sacarlson: that would be even better.
[14:43] <undecim> krishnan: So this is a NAS (network attached storage) drive then?
[14:43] <jpkeelty> undecim: well again much appreciated... just frustrated you'd THINK it would be eaier to get a linux distro up and running then windows.. but no luck so far
[14:44] <sacarlson> DrDamnit: I guess add it to the /etc/init.d section of your live cd
[14:44] <krishnan> undecim: no, a normal one
[14:44] <undecim> krishnan: I'm confused. What is this drive connected to?
[14:45] <sacarlson> DrDamnit:  check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[14:45] <undecim> jpkeelty: From what I understand, macs have a different boot process than pcs, so a drive that's bootable on pcs might not be bootable on macs... or maybe I just misunderstand it...
[14:47] <jpkeelty> undecim: for sure.. and that IS true... but seeing as i CAN (though dont want to ) get windows running in a dual boot from external usb drive senerio...you would THINK there must be some way to do the same with linux
[14:47] <krishnan> undecim: my computer
[14:48] <undecim> krishnan: You should just be able to right-click on the drive and choose the sharing option
[14:48] <undecim> krishnan: Share it as if it were a folder

[14:59] <ilsant0> hi all
[14:59] <ost2life> a question about sleeping. I can get my computer to sleep from the keyboard or remote no problems at all, however I can't get the box to wake up without actually pressing the power button on it, there's no response to keyboard, mouse or remote control input
[14:59] <ost2life> ..so is there anyway to fix that?
[14:59] <blackdoggy> E: nvidia-current: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
[14:59] <ilsant0> where I can download a lucid ISO with all update at this moment ?
[14:59] <Seveas> ost2life, yes, press the powerbutton :)

[15:01] <jcrawford> hmm odd
[15:01] <jcrawford> not sure sorry
[15:02] <jcrawford> i figured it was bluetooth because i have had the same problem with them

[15:03] <benhem> I have a confusing wifi issue, in 10.04 ... it suddenly stopped finding the wifi device, and the driver also seems to be missing.
[15:04] <Ken8521> blackdoggy, type "lspci" no quotes in a terminal and hit enter.. look through the output and find your video device
[15:04] <benhem> ifconfig and lshw don't show the wifi
[15:05] <BluesKaj> benhem,have updated your packages recently ?
[15:05] <Nokio> Seveas, here goes http://pastebin.com/spam.php?i=uEvwdzL3 Thanks in advance
[15:05] <benhem> I apt-get updated over and over a minute ago
[15:05] <benhem> seems good there
[15:06] <Seveas> Nokio, that's not a pastebin link...
[15:06] <BluesKaj> ok benhem , open network manager

[15:07] <benhem> BluesKaj: not sure which you meant, I have Network Connections and Network Tools open

[15:07] <blackdoggy> ken8521: i cant see hardware drivers
[15:07] <rocket16> Is there any alternative for MS OneNote in Linux? Basket, Tomboy, GNote, Zim, Newton etc. are not comparable. :(
[15:07] <BluesKaj> benhem, check the sttings , make sure they're the same, network manager in aps
[15:07] <Ken8521> blackdoggy, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[15:08] <blackdoggy> ken8521: 10.04
[15:08] <Nokio> Seveas, i think i found the problem. Ill confirm in a minute
[15:08] <AbhiJit> heaaa
[15:08] <Seveas> Nokio, looks like either ca.archive is busted or you use a broken proxy
[15:08] <Ken8521> blackdoggy, and you don't have system/admin/hardware drivers?.. or there's just nothing there?
[15:09] <blackdoggy> ken8521: i dont have system admin hw drives
[15:09] <Nokio> Seveas, it actualy the second option lol... I just added  Acquire::http::Proxy "false"; on the apt.conf and it now work just fine !
[15:09] <blackdoggy> ken8521: was doing a restore this evening and everything  got messed up
[15:09] <benhem> BluesKaj: oh, nm-applet --sm-disable ?
[15:09] <Ken8521> blackdoggy, nothing about drivers in the admin menu?
[15:09] <Nokio> Saveas, many thanks for your time !! it is much apreciated !
[15:10] <Seveas> Nokio, kill the stupid proxy :)
[15:10] <benhem> BluesKaj: not sure how to actually open the thing, when I run that in term it says it's already running
[15:10] <rocket16> !onenote
[15:10] <blackdoggy> ken8521: yes tried edeting the menu but nothing there
[15:10] <rocket16> Lol. Looks like there is no decent alternative. :d
[15:10] <Nokio> Seveas, the proxy seems to be working really well for http though lol anyway ill bypass the proxy for now thanks again !
[15:10] <Ken8521> blackdoggy, hmm, well, you're probably gonna have to install the driver from Nvidia... and I've never done that
[15:10] <Seveas> Nokio, which proxy is it?
[15:11] <Ken8521> !nvidia | blackdoggy
[15:11] <Nokio> Seveas it is a squid/dansguardian proxy i believe
[15:12] <blackdoggy> ken8521: done that  thats where i got the error
[15:12] <Ken8521> blackdoggy, yeah, sorry, i won't be much help
[15:12] <blackdoggy> ken8521: thanx  for ur time
[15:13] <blackdoggy> ken8521: will probably  reinstall the system
[15:13] <blackdoggy> no choice
[15:13] <Ken8521> blackdoggy, probably will be faster than finding a fix
[15:13] <blackdoggy> ken8521: yeah right
[15:13] <benhem> ok, sorry for repost: wifi device and driver disappeared...  running 10.04, gnome
[15:13] <blackdoggy> ken8521: see u around..... peace
[15:14] <benhem> it's a dual boot windows machine and the device/driver are missing from windows too
[15:15] <ghostlines> i'm using my all of my download bandwidth, and accessing my server is going much slower than usual why is this i have 3mbit upload that's hardly being used
[15:16] <mattgyver> ghostlines, everytime i have that problem its always an ISP issue.  I would start there to rule that out.
[15:17] <[F_]over> hey. problem mit Netzwerkinstallation bei Ubunutu installation
[15:18] <[F_]over> Ihr Netzwerk benutzt möglicherweise nicht das DHCP-Protokoll

[15:18] <ppq> [F_]over, hier ist nur englisch angesagt
[15:18] <ikar> i installed grub 0.97 as i didn't figure out how to update-grub otherwise, but when i run update-grub this is apearing: "Searching for splash image ... none found, skipping ..."
[15:18] <[F_]over> sry for german
[15:18] <[F_]over> -.-
[15:18] <ghostlines> mattgyver, hmm what kind of issue then? my upload is fine normally i don't have upload problems, this is the first time
[15:18] <blink> i've just downloaded a piano application for ubuntu and it is not giving out any sound!
[15:19] <blink> i actually got it from the Ubuntu Software Center under the name "VMPK"
[15:19] <mattgyver> ghostlines, it might not be I just know in my experience i always find out at speedtest.net that my upload limit is really low and call the ISP and they say 'oh yeah somethings wrong'
[15:20] <sacarlson> ghostlines: it's not likely but there are cases where packet size can cause slow downs.  some times ISP's change the packet size without notice.  I'm not sure of the details
[15:21] <Ken8521> mattgyver, well ti depends on how low it is... yoru upload speed is almost always substantially less than your download.
[15:21] <Ken8521> you really need to know the speed terms of your provider.. it might be exactly where it's supposed to be

[15:21] <ppq> muso_nn, just gui
[15:22] <Ken8521> muso_nn, far as i know just the GUI.

[15:24] <tarabaz> did you know it IP and share name?

[15:26] <tarabaz> so before restarting check that you can connect to it from places->connect with server
[15:26] <Karen_m> tarabaz, it's something wrong with ubuntu, where it doesn't scan or poll for shares or something. Whenever I see this stupid icon... the darned shares won't work

[15:32] <sacarlson> blockhead: what application gives that message?
[15:32] <ikonia> blockhead: that is a hardware / smart warning message telling you your disk will soon fail
[15:33] <ikonia> sacarlson: it's SMART
[15:33] <pure_hate> ikonia: I did but I got it figured out. Thanks for the reply though :-)
[15:33] <ikonia> pure_hate: no problem
[15:33] <Mutro1> Hi, I used Unetbootin to put an image of Ubuntu onto a USB drive and when I boot off the USB I get "Bootldr is missing" or something like that what do I do
[15:33] <Phong_> hi, what is it meant by open source?
[15:33] <blockhead> if I reformat with Ubuntu again, will I still get thismessage ikonia
[15:33] <Phong_> how can i open source?
[15:33] <ikonia> Phong_: that's nothing to do with google, if you google for FSF and open source, you'll get it explained to you
[15:33] <ikonia> blockhead: yes, it's a hardware error
[15:34] <ikonia> Phong_: sorry, nothing to do with ubuntu, if you google for FSF and open source you'll get a good introduction
[15:34] <blockhead> fuck
[15:34] <ikonia> blockhead: please control your language
[15:34] <blockhead> sorry
[15:34] <martez89> how can i restart the panel without restarting my pc?
[15:35] <Mutro1> Hi, I used Unetbootin to put an image of Ubuntu onto a USB drive and when I boot off the USB I get "Bootmgr is missing" or something like that what do I do
[15:36] <Mutro1> Because it was a ISO image direct from the servers
[15:36] <mm2> My LVM and GRUB got a bit messed during update from 8.04 to 10.04. Now I can boot with older kernel to temporary shell, but HOW I can edit /etc/fstab to use real /dev/-directories instead of UIDs? It is readonly shell?
[15:36] <Mutro1> So I dont know why Bootmgr is missing from the iso image
[15:36] <andrey_> Hello. Can I connect to remote desktop through INTERNET without real IP-address ?
[15:37] <ikonia> mm2: the eas way is to boot from a livecd and mount the file systems read-write
[15:37] <ikonia> andrey_: what do you want to use instead of a real address
[15:38] <grigoris> yaaa
[15:38] <Mutro1> ikonia: How come Bootmgr is missing from the ISO image on my USB boot
[15:39] <tensorpudding> andrey_: if you have a router doing NAT, you'll have do something like port forwarding
[15:39] <mm2> ikonia: But... It would take time, like... quater of an hour! :) And I think live CD doesn't regognize LVM+SATA-drives? If I remember right
[15:39] <ikonia> Mutro1: don't know
[15:39] <Mutro1> Is it something bad with the ISO
[15:39] <ikonia> mm2: it should see lvm ok, you can mount the disk read/write from our recovery shell with mount -o remount rw
[15:39] <dPix> any very verbose application for monitoring as many things as possible to do with packages, proccesses, hardware...?????
[15:40] <ikonia> dPix: the shell and log files, why do you tell us what you actually want
[15:40] <andrey_> Provider give me local IP address. I use internet trough the NAT
[15:40] <sacarlson> andrey_: real ip-address?  you will need there world ip to connect to them or them to you and have the ports forwarded in your adsl modem to the device to control
[15:40] <mm2> ikonia: ty, must try it... tomorrow :)
[15:40] <ikonia> andrey_: ok, so you can't get through nat without knowing the public internet address
[15:41] <shadowhywind_> does anyone know how to replace text in a postscript (ps) file?
[15:41] <andrey_> in win I can connect with program TeamViewer
[15:41] <uLinux> hell0
[15:41] <sacarlson> andrey_: you can go to whatismyip.com to find your world address
[15:41] <ikonia> andrey_: what ip address do you connect in teamviewer ?
[15:41] <dPix> ikonia, why do I tell us what I want? because I don't know any app for a hardcore monitoring @ linux :)
 I can't use it IP
[15:41] <ikonia> dPix: hardcore monoitoring ?
[15:41] <ikonia> dPix: what do you actually want to monitor and in what way
[15:42] <sacarlson> andrey_: well it must work the other way?  you might be able to vpn together then do your remote software
 Program ask only login and password. I think connection through their server
[15:42] <sasori2501> hey guys, anyone know a good online game for RISK???
[15:42] <ikonia> andrey_: ok, then that can't work then
[15:43] <sasori2501> or a ubuntu app for it, to play with others online
 VPN don't ask real IP ?
[15:43] <ken__> make love
[15:43] <dPix> ikonia, to have a full control of what apps are doing, if for example firefox creates a cookie or sniffing my wifi (actually wireshark is not working for me as it doesnt let me to select my eth0 device)....
[15:43] <JohnHeikkila> Hey
[15:43] <dPix> hey JohnHeikkila
[15:43] <sacarlson> andrey_: one of you must have a world ip with ports to connect to for it to work
[15:43] <ikonia> dPix: that's an unrealistic level of monitoring expectation
[15:44] <dPix> ikonia, I see
[15:44] <uLinux> dPix: you need to run it as root.
[15:44] <JuJuBee> Is there a channel dedicated to mint?
[15:44] <dPix> ikonia, run what
[15:44] <uLinux> dPix: gksudo wireshar
[15:44] <ikonia> dPix: I didn't say anyhing
[15:44] <uLinux> dPix: gksudo wireshark
[15:44] <andrey_> Maybe some free servers fore remote connections ?
[15:44] <ikonia> !mint | JuJuBee
[15:44] <JuJuBee> Thanks
[15:44] <dPix> sorry, uLinux
[15:44] <sacarlson> andrey_: I remote control my freind with him vpn to me then I remote to him over the simulated local vpn network
[15:44] <dPix> ikonia, was to uLinux sorry
[15:45] <ikonia> not a problem
[15:45] <dPix> uLinux, thanks let my try
[15:45] <uLinux> ok
[15:45] <norman_> buenos dias a todos, alguien podria decirme como puedo evitar que mi blackberry se reinicie cada vez en ubuntu?
[15:45] <uLinux> !es | norman_
[15:45] <ikonia> !br | norman_
[15:46] <uLinux> it's not portuguese lol
[15:46] <dPix> norman_, intenta meterte en el canal #ubuntu-es ;-)
[15:46] <dPix> uLinux, spanish hahaha
[15:46] <uLinux> :P
[15:47] <dPix> ikonia, spanish is much more beautiful than portuguese :P
[15:47] <BluesKaj> back, switched over to gnome...trying to keep current with gnome
[15:47] <dPix> uLinux, THANKS a lot :D
[15:47] <dPix> uLinux, wireshark now perfect working
[15:49] <BluesKaj> hmm, what happened to network manager? ...that network tools app doesn't sem to have any wifi options
[15:49] <uLinux> dPix: :)
[15:50] <dPix> uLinux, any difference between gksudo and sudo?
[15:50] <uLinux> dPix: sudo is for CLI gksudo is for GUI apps
[15:50] <uLinux> (something like this)
[15:50] <dPix> uLinux, thanks
[15:50] <BluesKaj> dPix, gksudo for opening an editor on the desktop
[15:50] <kataq> has anyone gotten touchfreeze to work?
[15:50] <Gladys> Hi, I'm trying to install ubuntu into a netbook, I was able to download the program
[15:51] <dPix> BluesKaj, thanks :)
[15:51] <BluesKaj> dPix, sudo for cli , gksudo for gui
[15:52] <uLinux> BluesKaj: network manager works fine here
[15:52] <Gladys> but when I tried to open the Universal USB installer it crashed, any suggestion what could be causing that
[15:52] <dPix> how to put the wifi card in monitor mode?
[15:53] <POVaddct> is it possible to force usb-creator to use a non-removable disk (ata) as target?
[15:53] <JohnHeikkila> dPix: >iwconfig eth0 mode Monitor<
[15:53] <AbhiJit> POVaddct, it should not be the on currennt os running on
[15:53] <BluesKaj> uLinux, ok , maybe I deleted it due to my kde and /etc/network/interfaces usage
[15:53] <JohnHeikkila> dPix: and replace "eth0" into "wlan0"
[15:54] <POVaddct> AbhiJit: of course
[15:54] <AbhiJit> POVaddct, yah then you can just give a try
[15:54] <dPix> JohnHeikkila, >iwconfig wlan0 mode Monitor<  then?? right?
[15:54] <uLinux> BluesKaj: what's your issue with Network Manager?
[15:54] <JohnHeikkila> dPix: I think that's it
[15:54] <POVaddct> AbhiJit: i just, did, but usb-creator-gtk won't let me select the ata disk
[15:54] <JohnHeikkila> dPix: But do that in "sudo" so do sudo iwconfig wlan0 mode Monitor"
[15:54] <POVaddct> AbhiJit: thats why i asked
[15:54] <kataq> Even if I disable the touchpad using TouchFreeze it won't be disable? anyone know what I can do?
[15:55] <AbhiJit> POVaddct, ohhhhhhhh
[15:55] <kunu>  What is the difference of “sh-c "echo 'yes'> / etc / pure-ftpd / conf / ChrootEveryone"“
[15:55] <kunu> and  "echo 'yes'> / etc / pure-ftpd / conf / ChrootEveryone"
[15:55] <sasori2501> anyone know a ubuntu app game for online play of RISK??
[15:55] <AbhiJit> POVaddct, is it formated with fat32?
[15:56] <POVaddct> AbhiJit: it is not formatted at all. usb-creator is supposed to partition and format it.
[15:56] <AbhiJit> POVaddct, try formatting it
[15:56] <Renderspec> anybody know if there is a way to keep the netstat command actively monitoring until key is pressed??
[15:56] <POVaddct> AbhiJit: but it won't let me select disks other than usb
[15:56] <Marcopolo> hello ppl :)
[15:56] <AbhiJit> first
[15:56] <BluesKaj> uLinux, no issues , i was trying to help someone earlier with their wifi set up but due to my setup not using wifi on this pc , i had no reference to look at.
[15:56] <uLinux> BluesKaj: oh ok
[15:56] <dPix> JohnHeikkila, yes yes I was trying it with sudo but it is returning "SET failed on device wlan0 ; No such device."
[15:56] <POVaddct> AbhiJit: i also did, but still no select possible
[15:57] <Marcopolo> guys i have a problem could help me  anybody  i can't connect more than 2 users via nx
[15:57] <AbhiJit> POVaddct, dunno then
[15:57] <JohnHeikkila> dPix: That means you don't have a device called "wlan0". It may be with another name. Do "sudo iwconfig"
[15:57] <JohnHeikkila> dPix: Then, on the left you will see the devices (on the output)
[15:57] <POVaddct> any usb-creator developers here? what must be changed in the python code to let me select ata disks as install targets?
[15:58] <Braber01> JohnHeikkila: you might want to check what shell your using as well I don't know <-- sitll a newbie
[15:58] <Marcopolo> guys any ideeas? how to change my nx with max 2 connections with one with more than 10 connection<
[15:58] <dPix> ok
[15:58] <perlsyntax> what is pygtk2 uner in ubntu apt-get?
[15:58] <dPix> JohnHeikkila, "sudo iwconfig eth1 mode Monitor"  returned nothing so I guess it is ok
[15:58] <perlsyntax> under
[15:58] <dPix> JohnHeikkila, also wifi has been restarted on my comp
[15:58] <JohnHeikkila> dPix: Yes, I think it is OK
[15:58] <JohnHeikkila> dPix: Sounds promising :)
[15:58] <JohnHeikkila> Braber01: Excuse me?
[15:59] <Marcopolo> can anyone help me?
[15:59] <Braber01> JohnHeikkila: set works in diffrent ways depending on what shell your working on, just saying..
[15:59] <dPix> JohnHeikkila, looks good ley me check wireshark :)
[15:59] <uLinux> perlsyntax: python-gtkmvc ?
[15:59] <JohnHeikkila> !ask | Marcopolo
[15:59] <JohnHeikkila> Braber01: He is using gnome-terminal ;)
[15:59] <perlsyntax> i was talking and pygtk2
[16:00] <karim> hi guys
[16:00] <Marcopolo> :) i put the question....i can't connect more than 2 users via NX  please help me!
[16:00] <Braber01> when I say shell i mean bash,tcsh,csh,ksh etc...
[16:00] <benhem> lspci doesn't show my wireless card, does that mean it has truly crapped out in a hardware way?
[16:00] <benhem> any way to confirm that?
[16:00] <perlsyntax> maybe i got it install and i don't know it.
[16:00] <karim> It may be silly, but, has the laptop killer bug been fixed ?
[16:00] <Braber01> !ping
[16:00] <uLinux> perlsyntax: open synaptic manager
[16:00] <sacarlson> Marcopolo: what application only lets you connect to 2 users?
[16:01] <perlsyntax> i got it open
[16:01] <uLinux> perlsyntax: now search for it :p
[16:01] <Lollipop56> frank__, hey

[16:03] <tull> i'm using gnome photo printer but it doesn't print
[16:03] <BluesKaj> benhem, oops yes , dhclient
[16:04] <e01> is there native support in ubuntu 10.4 or had to install some drivers
[16:04] <tull> /usr/bin/gs uses 100% of cpu
[16:04] <zysoks> !seen blackmatter
[16:04] <Gigacore> Hey guys, I logged into KDE and after logging back to gnome, the firefox font rendering went bad. How to fix?
[16:04] <benhem> BluesKaj: ok, there was a response on pan0 and eth0
[16:04] <dwarder> why ubuntu's rhythmbox emits that nasty sound when you move playing dial
[16:05] <Kruptein> hey I get this output every time I try to install software or update the system :  http://dpaste.com/250518/   (it's in dutch)
[16:05] <leshak> i need from help! http://pastebin.com/qNKUbBGM
[16:05] <Marcopolo> Guys please help me too :)

[16:05] <dPix>           Mode:Managed"
[16:06] <mweichert> hello! anyone familiar here with creating dvd iso images?
[16:06] <Lollipop56> Kruptein, check my pm
[16:06] <benhem> BluesKaj: that gives
[16:06] <benhem> "no wireless extensions"
[16:06] <benhem> on lo, pan0, and eth0
[16:06] <dPix> JohnHeikkila, "Mode:Managed" .... :S
[16:06] <vevais> hello there
[16:06] <BluesKaj> benhem, thinking you lost your wifi card driver
[16:06] <dPix> hi vevais
[16:06] <oCean> Marcopolo: how is your question an ubuntu issue?
[16:06] <benhem> BluesKaj: but it doesn't show up on lspci either
[16:07] <benhem> BluesKaj: I downloaded the driver from hp and did modprobe wl
[16:07] <benhem> it didn't complain
[16:07] <vevais> My Ubuntu 10.4 won't boot so I booted a Live-CD to recover my file, but I can't access my home-directory. It keeps saying ERROR: Encrypted private directory is not setup properly
[16:07] <benhem> but I think this means the device is truly borked
[16:07] <benhem> :/
[16:07] <leshak> i need from help! http://pastebin.com/qNKUbBGM Please!!!
[16:08] <BluesKaj> benhem, laptop ?
[16:08] <benhem> yep
[16:08] <monia> nk.pl
[16:08] <BluesKaj> dual boot with windows. benhem?
[16:08] <benhem> BluesKaj: yes
[16:08] <vevais> Can anyone help me, please?
[16:08] <benhem> BluesKaj: and the problem DID start when I rebooted into windows for the first time
[16:09] <dPix> vevais, why dont you try a Knopping livecd?
[16:09] <benhem> BluesKaj: (windows 7)
[16:09] <dPix> vevais, Knoppix*
[16:09] <TRH2O> Hi
[16:09] <TRH2O> How are you?
[16:09] <vevais> dPix: Will that help?
[16:09] <BluesKaj> ok, is your wifi workonhg in windows , at least we'll know if the HW actually works
[16:09] <dPix> vevais, not sure but had lot of trouble with my hdd and recover everything with Knoppix
[16:09] <Misterio> TRH2O: Hi, we are fine. Can we help you?
[16:09] <benhem> BluesKaj: nope, same response there -- no driver, no device foudn
[16:10] <vevais> dPix: Okay, will have a try. Thanks.
[16:10] <uLinux>  I use default Ubuntu folders so... do I need "User folders update" at startup?
[16:10] <BluesKaj> no device found in windows , benhem ?
[16:10] <dPix> vevais, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory
[16:11] <benhem> BluesKaj: right
[16:11] <leshak> :( i need from help! http://pastebin.com/qNKUbBGM Please!!!
[16:11] <BluesKaj> uhoh
[16:11] <oCean> leshak: no need to repeat all that quickly
[16:11] <benhem> :/   how weird that the moment it crapped out coincided with the windows reboot
[16:11] <benhem> really made me think it was software
[16:11] <glebihan> leshak: use sudo
[16:11] <Promethes> hi, since the last kernel update two days ago(to linux-generic-pae <IP_ADDRESS>.27) my ubuntu starts hanging on plymouth boot screen. Anyone experiences similar crashes?
[16:12] <glebihan> leshak: sudo apt-get install apache2
[16:12] <benhem> there's no low-level port address list that can get mangled that would affect both the linux and the windows partitions?
[16:12] <leshak> glebihan: i'm using root user.
[16:12] <oCean> leshak: also: check if you really cannot write to that directory, try for example "touch /var/cache/apt/mytestfile"
[16:12] <glebihan> leshak: oh right didn't notice
[16:12] <dPix> vevais, http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-desktop-74/error-encrypted-private-directory-is-not-setup-properly-800472/
[16:12] <BluesKaj> benhem, use the pc you are using and download the windows driver to a usb stick or some removable device and install it on the windows side of your laptop
[16:13] <benhem> BluesKaj: well, I'm on ethernet on the laptop.  will that work?
[16:13] <Marcopolo> guys i need to a little help please  i have a nx problem i can't connect more than 2 users what to do?
[16:13] <leshak> oCean: touch: cannot touch `/var/cache/apt/myfile': Read-only file system
[16:13] <oCean> Marcopolo: again, how is that an ubuntu issue?
[16:13] <oCean> leshak: there is your problem
[16:13] <BluesKaj> benhem, then if the wifi chipset doesn't work we'll know for sure.
[16:13] <benhem> BluesKaj: I'll reboot into windows and try from there, brb
[16:13] <bigdonfaraon> мужики, как настроить экран загрузки?
[16:14] <Marcopolo> i have Nx i created couple users but from the 3rd user they say i reached the limit
[16:14] <BluesKaj> !ru | bigdonfaraon
[16:14] <oCean> Marcopolo: this is Ubuntu support channel, not NX support
[16:14] <Marcopolo> i believe i have to change with some free NX
[16:14] <Marcopolo> yes my server is in ubuntu
[16:14] <bigdonfaraon> спс
[16:14] <oCean> Marcopolo: your issue is with NX, not ubuntu. Stop asking
[16:15] <glebihan> leshak: is your filesystem mounted read-only ?
[16:15] <Marcopolo> i want to know how i could change those  is  Ubuntu
[16:15] <anygivenname> hi....i am using remote sharing ....how do I copy & paste files ?
[16:17] <sacarlson> Marcopolo: I asked you already what application are you running freenx?
[16:17] <glebihan> sacarlson: Marcopolo's left
[16:17] <anygivenname> can anyone help me
[16:18] <awanti> My friend is trying to connect my pc (Ubuntu) through SSH but he unable to connect its showing this msg. 'ssh: connect to host <IP_ADDRESS> port 22: Connection refused'
[16:18] <coz_> anygivenname,  I didnt see your question...would you mind repeating it ?
[16:18] <anygivenname> hi....i am using remote sharing ....how do I copy & paste files ?
[16:18] <mattgyver> awanti, is port 22 forwarded to the machine in your router?  also thats an internal IP is he on your network?
[16:18] <coz_> anygivenname,  ah darn... I am not the right person for those questions .... also if no one here has an answer at the moment, you could try  ##linux channel
[16:19] <ubun7u> hello anyone can tell me a good social networking client for ubuntu
[16:19] <bobstro> awanti:  where is he connecting from, local network or remote via internet?
[16:19] <ubun7u> gwibber sucks
[16:19] <awanti> yes from local u r right
[16:19] <kapcom01> hello, i would like to replace my hard drive with another one. Should i just dd the / partition? Maybe grub-install on the new disk? Is that all?
[16:19] <glebihan> awanti: do you have a firewall ?
[16:19] <AndrewMC> ubun7u: gwibber
[16:19] <ubun7u> no plz
[16:19] <awanti> yes
[16:19] <awanti> yes i have firewall
[16:19] <ubun7u> i removed that package months ago
[16:20] <glebihan> awanti: did you open port 22 ?
[16:20] <ubun7u> any reliable client?
[16:20] <awanti> how do i do this. please tell me
[16:20] <glebihan> awanti: what's your firewall ? iptables ?
[16:21] <AndrewMC> ubun7u: gwibber is the only one i see
[16:21] <bobstro> anygivenname:  what sort of remote sharing?
[16:21] <airtonix> awanti, 1. make sure you have open-sshserver installed, 2. make sure your machine has a ufw rule for 22 : sudo ufw allow in on eth0 for port 22
[16:22] <airtonix> awanti, assuming your using wired port to connect on the 192.168.1.x network
[16:22] <anygivenname> is sudo a correct command ?
[16:22] <airtonix> anygivenname, why wouldn't it be ?
[16:23] <anygivenname> it is not working
[16:23] <dPix> !sudo > anygivenname
[16:23] <bobstro> anygivenname:  it lets you run a command as root or another user
[16:23] <airtonix> anygivenname, then a) you're not using a debian based linux OS, or something is fundamentally wrong with your install
[16:23] <Inferus> yo
[16:23] <crazygir> I have a zoom modem which needs to build a module for the kernel (so it needs the sources, etc) I only have a connection to the net temporarialy, so I was hoping to download everything needed for this installer to do its work - what should I install through apt?
[16:23] <dPix> is Mode:managed == monitor mode??
[16:23] <anygivenname> i am on Ubuntu 10.04
[16:23] <Pici> !doesntwork  | anygivenname
[16:23] <airtonix> dPix, no
[16:24] <uLinux>  I use default Ubuntu folders so... do I need "User folders update" at startup?
[16:24] <dPix> airtonix, I'm trying to stablish my IPW2200 to monitor mode doing "sudo iwconfig eth1 mode monitor"
[16:24] <anygivenname> is there a different command for ubuntu ?

[16:28] <benhem> BluesKaj: I'm in win7, checking online for drivers, and hp's site says they don't have them for win7 -- only xp, 2000, vista.  So I'm wondering if somehow booting into an OS with no drivers for the wifi screwed it up somehow

[16:28] <anygivenname> i am following the commands to start Samba

[16:29] <sujiths80> hi I am not able to open the virtualbox application.Can anyone help me..gettinga a error NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
[16:29] <anygivenname> all did not return an error except the last one which is sudo..........restart
[16:30] <jags> yo
[16:30] <glebihan> anygivenname: what error did it return ?
[16:30] <anygivenname> command not found
[16:31] <jags> Im getting better with this linux stuff, so I want to get rid of my windows disk and just use it for backup, its the main disk, so im assuming the mbr is on it
[16:31] <jags> how do I remove the disk with the mbr and then boot linux and fix grub?
[16:31] <glebihan> anygivenname: what's the exact command you typed ?
[16:31] <Yugge> jags, you can fix grub via a livecd
[16:31] <undecim> jags: In Ubuntu, is your ubuntu disk "/dev/sdb"?
[16:31] <anygivenname> sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
[16:32] <undecim> jags: Or I suppose it would say "/dev/sdb1" for your root partition, "/dev/sdb5" for swap, etc...
[16:32] <anygivenname> actually now...i opened the folder init.d & did not find a file called samba
[16:32] <undecim> jags: If that's the case, just run "sudo grub-install /dev/sdb" from Ubuntu before removing the windows hard drive.
[16:32] <scenox> hi, how to change the browser scroll speed?
[16:32] <undecim> jags: And also "update-grub"
[16:32] <uLinux> just opened Wine audio settings and now I don't have sound ..
[16:32] <scenox> it's a little bit slow i think
[16:33] <leshak> glebihan and oCean: this is an hard disk problem! thanks!
[16:33] <glebihan> anygivenname: run "sudo service smbd restart"
[16:33] <leshak> glebihan and oCean: in my The Planet's server.
[16:34] <anygivenname> it says: smbd start/running, process 2285
[16:34] <jags> undecim, ok cool thank you
[16:34] <anygivenname> does this mean it is working now ?
[16:34] <glebihan> anygivenname: yep
[16:35] <undecim> jags: It may still break your grub though...
[16:35] <urania> halloooooo :)
[16:35] <dominick> !hi
[16:36] <anygivenname> thanks....but i still can not paste the file remotely
[16:36] <undecim> jags: If you come up to a grub recovery screen, see if it will let you run "configfile (hd0,1)/boot/grub/grub.cfg"
[16:36] <anygivenname> does samba needs tuning ?
[16:36] <cellardoor> Guys I upgraded from a previous Ubuntu version, and I havent got my name in the top-right with the ability to click it and set up twitter etc, how do I enable it?
[16:36] <dchotas> how can I copy an hidden folder like .wine for desktop via Terminal?
[16:37] <undecim> cellardoor: Add inidicator applet to your panel.
[16:37] <undecim> jags: If it does keep you from booting, you can fix it with a livecd
[16:37] <cellardoor> undecim, not quite sure how to do that since I have macbuntu installed :L
[16:37] <undecim> cellardoor: Does macbuntu not use gnome-panel?
[16:37] <coz_> hey guys...something odd is ocurring here... when installing an application  I get a whole list of of packages  "packages were automatically installed and are no longer equired"  however  it wants to remove default applications such as inkscape on edubuntu and many default installed dependencies as well
[16:37] <st__> dchotas, type . first
[16:38] <dchotas> . first
[16:38] <cellardoor> dchotas, if you have to.. its not a good idea, run cp -r ~/.wine ~/Desktop/wine/
[16:38] <undecim> coz_: Have you removed a default package lately?
[16:38] <dominick> coz_, it generally means you have a faulty installation!
[16:38] <MM2> How I can mount lvm-volume for edit in 10.04.1 live desktop CD?
[16:38] <cellardoor> undecim, looks like it does.. how would I change it on normal gnome panel?
[16:38] <Phil_Ewert> hi, how can I add an user to a group?
[16:38] <livindaylite> Yo Yo Yo!!!
[16:38] <st__> Phil_Ewert, adduser USER GROUP
[16:39] <undecim> cellardoor: right-click on the panel and click "Add to panel" find indicator applet, and add it.
[16:39] <dominick> Phil_Ewert, adduser username groupname
[16:39] <livindaylite> people, I have a triangle with an exclamation mark in my panel!!! its screaming at me
[16:39] <cellardoor> undecim, dont have that ability :/
[16:39] <coz_> undecim,  and dominick   a few default packages  yes  but this is a clean install  and removeal of any of these packages will result in a broken system for sure
[16:39] <jags> should I worry if my main disk has a few SMART warnings, 5 Reallocated Sector count, 197 Current Pending Sector Count?
[16:39] <area51pilot> I am trying to use gxine media player to view DVD content but the player says no demuxer is present ...  what do I need to do to get gxine to play DVD's?
[16:39] <st__> Phil_Ewert, in Gnome it's
[16:39] <st__> Users and Groups in administartion menu
[16:40] <st__> why appearance settings do not work when Gnome is not running?
[16:40] <undecim> coz_: mark your edition package for explicit install. e.g. if this where kubuntu-desktop, you would run "sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop"
[16:40] <dominick> coz_, the few times I had the problem (always in a fresh install), I was sure it was the fault of the medium. Try burning another DVD/CD and installing!
[16:40] <coz_> undecim,  and on edubuntu  I have always uninstalled some default applications ...regularly  with this never ocurring before but only now with this past weeks updates
[16:41] <undecim> coz_: Maybe you were using a different package manager (software center vs aptitude, for example)
[16:41] <roffle> hi.  so i'm in grub, about to boot and press 'e' on the vista partition
[16:41] <roffle> can someone tell me what all the numbers are after search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set
[16:41] <coz_> dominick,   this was installed with the minimal install cd  ,,,the cd itself is not corrupt however some thing is up with the past weeks updates that is making this occur...it did not happen previously ...same system...same cd...same install
[16:41] <dPix> what folder is it used as default for apps?
[16:41] <regeya> st__: instead of just reading .gtkrc, gnome apps depend on a settings daemon to be running...
[16:42] <st__> how to make Ubuntu cifs work with WIndows?
[16:42] <rurufufuss> do you have to register your nick before being able to ask questions here?
[16:42] <coz_> undecim,  no that's not the case .... this is pointing to this past weeks updates  and the minimal install cd  automatically downloads current updates
[16:42] <Mthias> Hello, I've a connection problem. The place where I live recently passed from WEP to WPA, and although it works fine with my netbook, it absolutely does not with my desktop computer. Does anybody has an idea about why the same settings work differently on two computers ?
[16:42] <st__> regeya, Gnom,e apps or just all GTK apps?
[16:42] <dPix> rurufufuss, no
[16:42] <rurufufuss> thanks dPix
[16:42] <undecim> rurufufuss: No, but registering makes it convenient if you come here often.
[16:42] <dPix> rurufufuss, np
[16:42] <jags> say I want to mirror my current linux disk to a larger disk? Is this easily accomplished?
[16:42] <undecim> coz_: That's odd.
[16:42] <st__> coz_, it's usually indicates repository conflict
[16:42] <snaggle_> any suggestions for an alternative to gnome or kde?  I'm running Xubuntu desktop at the moment, which works well.  I'm aiming for speed more than anything.
[16:42] <ost2life> hello again. I've got an RF/USB remote control. it works mostly fine, however occasionally it seems to be unresponsive and then the previous (presumed unresponded) inputs all happen at once as if they're getting buffered. This doesn't happen with my USB keyboard and I was wondering if anyone here knows why it might be
[16:43] <dPix> undecim, things with folders b4 worked restarting session :)
[16:43] <coz_> st__,  well again not possible  ...since it would have to be conflicts on the sever end not this end
[16:43] <martez89> hello, my laptop speakers wont work, but when its connected to external speakers i do have sound. im on an acer aspire 5542
[16:43] <st__> jags, just copy the files and edit partition UUID in grub on target system
[16:43] <dPix> what folder is it used as default for apps?
[16:43] <st__> dPix, $HOME
[16:44] <peihua> ?
[16:44] <afeijo> I created a .bashrc at my home folder, but its not working when I log in.  What else need to be done?
[16:44] <st__> dPix, strictly saying it's CWD
[16:44] <jags> So do I need to copy them as root, or can standard su do the job?
[16:44] <undecim> dPix: Usually your home folder, but if an application is launched from another application that has changed its directory, the new application may default to that directory
[16:44] <st__> jags, su[do] is the root
[16:45] <jags> oh ok lol, I have separate passwords I thought they were like different levels of access
[16:45] <dPix> st__, cwd?
[16:45] <st__> dPix, current working directory
[16:45] <kiss> hello Im trying to put fluxbox inside gnome like in herehttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=63734
[16:46] <st__> jags, there are only 2 level of access: user and root
[16:46] <jags> oh ok
[16:46] <jags> why do i use su sometimes and the terminal tells me I need to be root
[16:46] <kiss> but it gives me a error in /usr/share/gnome/default.session .. I dont have a default.session
[16:46] <dominick> st__, wrong, There are as many levels of access as you create!
[16:46] <st__> dominick, create in what?
[16:46] <Ayrton> I'm using the ubuntu netbook remix 10.10 beta. The Files & Folders app don't working very well. They say that not exist documents, pictures, sounds and etc in my homedir, but exists. When I click in all files, it shows my download folder and my favorited directories
[16:46] <Pici> Ayrton : Please join #ubuntu+1 for Maverick/10.10 support/discussion.
[16:46] <dPix> undecim, ok, so I should uncompress any software folder there at $HOME right?
[16:47] <jags> so I su root and put in my root password and the terminal prompt changes, Is su just for single commands then, and su root changes to a root terminal?
[16:47] <Ayrton> Pici, thanks
[16:47] <st__> Ayrton, is that English ubuntu?
[16:47] <dominick> st__, its up to you. define user groups and add users to the groups. that's one way to create levels of access!
[16:47] <Pici> jags: You should be using sudo on Ubuntu.
[16:47] <rurufufuss> guys, if I have problem with nvidia's drivers, which channel could I go to?
[16:47] <Pici> !sudo > jags
[16:47] <magicianlord> rurufufuss: what is the problem
[16:47] <coz_> by the way , this is the list of packages the system wants to remove..   http://pastebin.com/EuQwvpS5   if I do that  then font rendering becomes corrupt and that is the least of the problems
[16:48] <glebihan> jags: first it  means that as some point you set a password to have access to the root user, which you shouldn't have done if you don't fully understand what it menas
[16:48] <afeijo> I created a .bashrc at my home folder, but its not working when I log in.  What else need to be done?
[16:48] <kiss> hello Im trying to put fluxbox inside gnome like in herehttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=63734
[16:48] <Ayrton> st__, english at the moment.
[16:48] <rurufufuss> magicianlord: direct rendering is off after an update to the latest driver
[16:48] <kiss> but it gives me a error in /usr/share/gnome/default.session .. I dont have a default.session
[16:48] <jags> Glebelg, yah initially I thought i needed one for root so I set one
[16:48] <rurufufuss> magicianlord: and it is rather important for my thesis work
[16:48] <st__> RH uses su. SuSE uses su. Mandriva uses su. Debian uses su. Are you claiming Ubuntu is different?
[16:48] <magicianlord> rurufufuss: what have you tried to resolve it
[16:48] <jags> my friend was telling me I can log into root and just rm the whole drive while its running?
[16:49] <jags> I sort of want to mirror the disk and try it out for kicks
[16:49] <Pici> st__: The root account is locked in Ubuntu, so yes, Ubuntu is different.
[16:49] <julianibus> i have a problems booting ubuntu after upgrade to 10.04. which channel should i go to?
[16:49] <glebihan> jags: you should never need to use su, sudo is the way you access root privilege in ubuntu
[16:49] <rurufufuss> magicianlord: I tried different drivers (the 2nd one with version number less than 100) but that didnt work
[16:49] <rurufufuss> magicianlord: was considering installing DRI, but would that change things?
[16:49] <kiss> hello Im trying to put fluxbox inside gnome like in herehttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=63734
[16:49] <kiss> but it gives me a error in /usr/share/gnome/default.session .. I dont have a default.session
[16:49] <rahulkmr> tap and drag doesn't work for me. "synclient -l" shows TapAndDragGesture = 1. My touchpad is synaptics. Everything else works - circular scroll, rt middle click, rb right click.. What shall I be checking?
[16:50] <coz_> rurufufuss,  this is nvidia ... yes?
[16:50] <magicianlord> rurufufuss: installed from repo or manually using nvidia pkg?
[16:50] <rurufufuss> coz_: yep, nvidia
[16:50] <rurufufuss> magicianlord: using envyng
[16:50] <rurufufuss> envyng 1.1.1 that is
[16:50] <Pici> st__: Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more info
[16:50] <st__> kiss, what yours /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager linjs to?
[16:50] <coz_> rurufufuss,  ooo  why didnt you use jokey to install the driver?
[16:50] <rurufufuss> coz_: jokey?
[16:50] <coz_> rurufufuss,  rather jockey
[16:51] <coz_> rurufufuss,   yes   system/administration/hardware drivers
[16:51] <rurufufuss> coz_: ah, is that newer than envyng?
[16:51] <st__> !pm > kiss
[16:51] <rurufufuss> coz_: I'll give that a try, thanks!
[16:51] <coz_> rurufufuss,   the nvidia_current refers to the  195.36.24 driver
[16:51] <coz_> rurufufuss,   it is working adequatley here
[16:52] <kiss> st__ I dont get it .
[16:52] <st__> Pici, LOL @ the link
[16:52] <coz_> rurufufuss,  but you may have to remove what envying   has changed as well
[16:52] <rurufufuss> coz_: looks like the one I installed was 173.14.12
[16:52] <Pici> st__: Excuse me?
[16:52] <magicianlord> rurufufuss: recommend removing all nvidia driver components, then using synaptic or jockey to install and configure.
[16:52] <coz_> rurufufuss,  I have not used envying at all so I cant help in tracking down what chanes it may have made
[16:52] <adalal> hey, anyreason why gnome's password and encryption keys cannot generate PGP keys?
[16:53] <st__> type ls -l /etc/alternatives/x-session-manager and tell what is to the right of '->'
[16:53] <coz_> rurufufuss,  and installing the official nvidia driver would mean jumping through a few hoops to get it installed on lucid
[16:53] <rurufufuss> magicianlord: I'm using 8.04, will I have to update any of the sources.list or anyting like that?
[16:53] <jags> Is there a way I can remove the root password I set earlier?
[16:53] <st__> Pici, it lists laughable arguments for non-existant problems
[16:53] <Pici> jags: sudo password -l
[16:53] <rurufufuss> coz_: lucid = ?
[16:53] <glebihan> jags: I don't think but it doesn't matter, just don't use su
[16:54] <magicianlord> rurufufuss: to get a new driver?  you'd have to update your distro. or stick with the original driver. why not update to 10.10?
[16:54] <coz_> rurufufuss,   oh you are on 8.04  mmm
[16:54] <jags> I know just that I set my root password as root lol
[16:54] <coz_> rurufufuss,  lucid is the most recent ubuntu release
[16:54] <jags> probly dumb idea
[16:54] <coz_> rurufufuss,  10.04
[16:54] <jags> I can make it more complicated I suppose
[16:54] <rurufufuss> magicianlord: I see, so I should update huh..
[16:54] <magicianlord> yes, update to 10.10
[16:54] <rurufufuss> I'll give that a go
[16:54] <rurufufuss> what's the easiest way?
[16:54] <magicianlord> good luck
[16:54] <rurufufuss> just the straight update thing on the topright bar of the screen?
[16:55] <magicianlord> back up your file, then create a usb-stick image
[16:55] <st__> how to make Ubuntu cifs to work with WIndows?
[16:55] <rurufufuss> hmm, ok, updating now then
[16:55] <magicianlord> recommend a clean install
[16:55] <rurufufuss> hmm, I have a lot of files that I need to preserve though
[16:55] <coz_> rurufufuss,  I also suggest a clean install
[16:55] <magicianlord> dl iso, create bootable usb stick, boot and install
[16:55] <coz_> rurufufuss,  do you have back up capabilities
[16:55] <Pici> rurufufuss: You cannot upgrade directly from 8.04 to 10.10. Additionally, 10.10 is still beta and may have issues, also it is not fully supported until it is released.
[16:56] <glebihan> st__: there's one important point : "sudo can be setup with a much more fine-grained security policy. "
[16:56] <rurufufuss> what about 10.04?
[16:56] <magicianlord> 10.10 is gonna be released in 2 weeks.
[16:56] <coz_> rurufufuss,  10.04 is fine
[16:56] <magicianlord> it's fine
[16:56] <rurufufuss> it says that "new distribution release 10.04 LTS is available, next to the upgrade button
[16:56] <Pici> magicianlord: No. Its not.
[16:56] <rurufufuss> that's not the clean install I'm guessing?
[16:56] <magicianlord> Pici: wut
[16:56] <coz_> rurufufuss,  it is not
[16:56] <Pici> st__: cifs works fine with Windows, Please explain to the channel what issues you're having.
[16:56] <Pici> magicianlord: mistell.
[16:56] <coz_> rurufufuss,  a clean install means downloading and burning the new disc
[16:57] <magicianlord> what are you saying, Pici
[16:57] <coz_> rurufufuss,   can you backup the files you need to save?
[16:57]  * Wolfwalker_prime walks in and curls up on the sofa.
[16:57] <Pici> magicianlord: I'm saying that I misunderstood what you said.
[16:57] <st__> cifs it doesn't, it gives authentication errors while amba works fine
[16:57] <rurufufuss> yeah, can do
[16:57] <magicianlord> ok
[16:57] <rurufufuss> can clean installs be done through USB instead?
[16:57] <rurufufuss> seems more convenient
[16:57] <magicianlord> yes
[16:57] <magicianlord> use the usb creator app
[16:57] <Wolfwalker_prime> Are there any tools already in the standard live CD that can check a hard drive for possible failure?
[16:57] <coz_> rurufufuss,  ok then when back up is completed  download either the  10.04  live cd  or the 10.04  minimal install cd
[16:57] <st__> I want cifs because I have no file manager to work with samba/gvfs
[16:57] <kerebrus> Anyone here good with grub?
[16:58] <magicianlord> just download 10.10.
[16:58] <glebihan> !anyone | kerebrus
[16:58] <coz_> rurufufuss,  burn that  after checking the mdsum  and please burn it at the lowest burn speed possible
[16:58] <magicianlord> 10.04 is outdated at this point
[16:58] <Jon--> I have a script on the desktop that runs a VLC command to help my dad play his music. He's really comp dumb - any way on making this automatically run the script and not come up with Run - Display - Run in terminal ?
[16:58] <rurufufuss> will clean installs be able to preserve old data on my drive?
[16:58] <kerebrus> glebihan becuase my question is in 3 parts and could take a bit
[16:58] <st__> magicianlord, no it's not, it's LTS
[16:58] <rurufufuss> I suppose I can just resize the old partition right?
[16:58] <coz_> rurufufuss,   no  you have to back that up on another media
[16:58] <glebihan> magicianlord: very wrong, it is the current LTS version and will be for 18 months
[16:58] <coz_> rurufufuss,  you will need a flash drive  or external hard drive or burn that data you want to save to cd or dvd
[16:59] <rurufufuss> I see
[16:59] <coz_> rurufufuss,  then reinstall...are any of those backups possible for you?
[16:59] <anygivenname> how do I delete a .conf file ?
[16:59] <magicianlord> glebihan: the components are outdated. that's a fact
[16:59] <coz_> anygivenname,   sudo rm -rf /location/of/.conf file
[16:59] <rurufufuss> coz_: yes, just trying to avoid those because I have a lot of important files throughout the drive :/
[16:59] <Wolfwalker_prime> Are there any tools already in the standard live CD that can check a hard drive for possible failure?
[16:59] <rurufufuss> coz_: but if no other option then I guess there's no choice
[16:59] <coz_> rurufufuss,  understood
[17:00] <glebihan> kerebrus: well ask your question, try not to use enter as a punctuation, and see if somebody can help you
[17:00] <rurufufuss> thanks everyone
[17:00] <coz_> rurufufuss,   i would seriously consider the major backup you suggest needs to be done...if for no other reason ..to have a backup of the files just in case
[17:00] <coz_> rurufufuss,  and I would make a habit of backing these files up as soon as new ones have been created
[17:01] <DualProxy> Does 10.4 support group passwords? I am unable to get them to work.
[17:01] <st__> what parameters should I give to cifs so it worked exactly as Samba?
[17:03] <kerebrus> My current grub setup is I have 2 hd's on different ide channels and I am wanting to change the setup, I have a windows hd and ubuntu hd, I want my ubuntu as master and my windows as slave on the same ide channel, but when I set this up my computer hangs, grub doesnt load nor does it try to intiate linux.
[17:03] <magicianlord> How is Unity turning out? Will it be available on 10.04?
[17:03] <anygivenname> i installed samba again but the .conf file did not install....what do I do ?
[17:03] <jpkeelty> Anyone have any idea how to get ununtu to boot from an EXTERNAL usb hdd on an intel imac??
[17:03]  * gukk_devel is away: Zur Zeit nicht da.
[17:03] <glebihan> kerebrus: you'll have to install grub on the new master drive, see grub-install
[17:04] <Pici> !away > gukk_devel
[17:04] <gougoutou> hi
[17:04] <st__> are there some GUI tools to edit gtkrc and fonts.conf files?
[17:04] <coz_> jpkeelty,  did you check in the bios for boot order?
[17:04] <kerebrus> glebihan the new master drive is my ubuntu hd, shouldnt it already have grub.
[17:04] <benhem> BluesKaj: well, I [re]installed the driver in windows, too, and rebooted...still no device showing in device manager
[17:05] <jpkeelty> coz_: an imac (osx) does not have bios.
[17:05] <Wolfwalker_prime> Are there any tools already in the standard live CD that can check a hard drive for possible failure?
[17:05] <benhem> BluesKaj: checked the card in the port, looks like it's bolted in, not likely to have wiggled
[17:05] <coz_> jpkeelty,   mm  then I have no suggestions...
[17:05] <glebihan> kerebrus: grub has to be installed in the MBR, which is probably not the case on your formal slave drive
[17:05] <jpkeelty> coz: thank you regardless
[17:05] <glebihan> *former*
[17:06] <anygivenname> how to get the .conf file ?
[17:06] <coz_> jpgnizak,  however...since all apple systems us pc hardware I find that difficult to comprehend
[17:06] <dominick> kerebrus, it might not! try grub-install
[17:06] <kiss> getting fluxbox into gnome is kinda hard . do u guys any othe way to get the rightclick menu ? without Nautilous
[17:06] <st__> anygivenname, which OS version?
[17:06] <coz_> jpkeelty,   I dont have an imac here  and unless apple has locked you out there should be a bios
[17:07] <kiss> getting fluxbox into gnome is kinda hard . do u guys any othe way to get the rightclick menu ? without Nautilous

[17:07] <jpkeelty> coz-_: osx does not use bios.
[17:07] <Wolfwalker_prime> kiss sure:  Crunch Bang.  ^.^
[17:07] <coz_> jpkeelty,  no but the motherboard should
[17:08] <coz_> jpgnizak,  I am talking about  bios which is on the motherboard  not the os
[17:08] <dominick> !repeat
[17:08] <st__> anygivenname, try reinstall samba-common while watching for errors
[17:09] <mcawsome> hello
[17:09] <Seveas> ohai
[17:09] <st__> anygivenname, also it's in /usr/share/samba
[17:09] <anygivenname> i installed samba again but the .conf file did not install....
[17:09] <mcawsome> any help
[17:09] <BluesKaj> benhem, check out your router wifi settings , could they be altered somehow , but that doesn't explain the lack of a wifi device either ... sorry but you may have a damaged wifi chipset
[17:09] <kiss> Wolfwalker_prime . Crunch Bang . can we use it in Gnome ?
[17:09] <jpkeelty> coz_: well the LOGIC board... does not have anything like bios... not that i've seen , there is a pre-boot loader but again nothing like the PC equivalent. With a MAC the OS is not something that is overtop the computer itself.. it IS the computer...
[17:09] <Wolfwalker_prime> coz_ this is confirmed.  Mac computers (hardware) do not have a BIOS.
[17:09] <anygivenname> it was in /etc/samba
[17:09] <jpkeelty> coz_:they are inseperable
[17:09] <coz_> Wolfwalker_prime,  ok  understood
[17:09] <st__> anygivenname, copy it from /usr/share to etc?
[17:10] <Wolfwalker_prime> kiss I was being facetious.  Crunch Bang is an OS.  Sorry.
[17:10] <mcawsome> pls if i want to download packages this is what happensW: failed to fetch http;//gh.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libn/libnet/libnet-<IP_ADDRESS> i386.deb
[17:10] <greppy> coz_: A Mac uses EFI (as I type this on a macbook running ubuntu)
[17:10] <kiss> aww
[17:10] <st__> mcawsome, post http error dammit
[17:10] <coz_> greppy,  understood...and odd
[17:10] <Wolfwalker_prime> kiss it's a very good OS though, and for free I'd recommend you try it.  Try the Statler Alpha 2 version.
[17:10] <kiss> Wolfwalker_prime . so u dnt kw anyother way to get a menu in rightclick on gnome ?
[17:10] <kerebrus> glebihan ok but ubuntu wont load if I switch slaves, how can I edit it to accept the new slave.
[17:10] <anygivenname> paste is dimmed
[17:10] <Wolfwalker_prime> kiss nope.  I'm your basic end-user.
[17:11] <jpkeelty> greppy:  are you using ubuntu on your internal HDD then?
[17:11] <greppy> coz_: not really, you can get EFI systems that aren't made by apple.
[17:11] <st__> anygivenname, because you're not root?
[17:11] <greppy> jpkeelty: yes.
[17:11] <benhem> BluesKaj: it seems that my computer series is particularly at risk

[17:11] <anygivenname> what do u mean ?
[17:11] <glebihan> kerebrus: I'd recommend using a live cd to run grub-install
[17:11] <st__> anygivenname, you cannot paste things in /etc if you're not root
[17:12] <kerebrus> glebihan will that setup the correct peramaters so I can boot from each drive?
[17:12] <maco> jpds: keepin that hat on while in the house?
[17:12] <ost2life> hello again. I've got an RF/USB remote control. it works mostly fine, however occasionally it seems to be unresponsive and then the previous (presumed unresponded) inputs all happen at once as if they're getting buffered. This doesn't happen with my USB keyboard and I was wondering if anyone here knows why it might be
[17:12] <jpkeelty> greppy: yeah i can DO that... im just having the worst time trying to get it up externally... and its insane that I CAN get windows bootable externally but NOT linux
[17:12] <anygivenname> how can I be root ?
[17:12] <maco> !root | anygivenname
[17:12] <mcawsome> how do you restore ubuntu it default settings
[17:13] <st__> anygivenname, press alt+f2 and type gksudo nautilus /etc
[17:13] <greppy> jpkeelty: I could give it a spin, I think I have an external drive I could use around here somewhere...
[17:13] <benhem> ubottu: groan
[17:13] <ost2life> mcawsome, reinstall ubuntu
[17:13] <glebihan> kerebrus: it should, you'll have to check grub's configuration though
[17:13] <ilsant0> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TggHtINGIyc&feature=player_embedded
[17:13] <mcawsome> how do you restore your system to it default settings
[17:13] <karlo94> st__, how to get out alt-F2 ?
[17:13] <kerebrus> glebihan okay thanks ill try that
[17:13] <glebihan> kerebrus: you're welcome
[17:13] <st__> mcawsome, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow -a
[17:14] <kerebrus> Im trying to setup svideo as my default output for my video card, anyone know how?
[17:14] <jpkeelty> greppy: I have managed to install it allright... and i can find instructions on how to create a bootable usb flash/thumbnail drive... surely there must be a way to get a FULL ubuntu/linux installation up?
[17:14] <mr_chris> mcawsome: Create a backup of your files you want to keep. Create a new user with admin privileges with the name temp. Log in as temp. Delete your user. Re add your user. Restore your files.
[17:15] <benhem> maybe shirley knows how to fix my wifi, too
[17:15] <mr_chris> ost2life: That's a terrible way to restore default settings. That's the windows method of doing things.
[17:15] <st__> is there a way to reduce Ubuntu size? i have barebones X+sound system but it takes 1,2 GB
[17:15] <anygivenname> i am not able to copy & paste it....what do I do ?
[17:16] <mr_chris> st_: That's actually pretty small. About the best you can do that I know of is to remove the older kernels.
[17:16] <greppy> jpkeelty: yes, I've never really tried it, as most of the time I don't want to boot from usb.  My macbook is an exception as I stuck the OSX drive into a SATA cradle that I can boot off of if I have to.
[17:16] <jpkeelty> greppy: it must be something to do with how the boot partition is created during the intstallation process...i can manually create the partitions using gparted... but then i cant seem to do the installaton (so that it works)
[17:16] <coz_> jpgnizak,  http://bindapple.com/bios-settings-on-macbook/
[17:16] <anygivenname> I pressed alt+f2 and typed gksudo nautilus /etc.....got command error
[17:16] <greppy> jpkeelty: are you trying to boot a mac off of USB?
[17:16] <coz_> jpgnizak,  sorry wrong person
[17:16] <coz_> jpkeelty, http://bindapple.com/bios-settings-on-macbook/
[17:17] <st__> anygivenname, are you kde?
[17:17] <jpkeelty> greppy: yes
[17:17] <anygivenname> i can't believe there is no copy & paste on Ubuntu
[17:17] <magicianlord> what
[17:17] <benhem> don't believe that
[17:17] <st__> anygivenname, it is but buggy
[17:17] <magicianlord> where is there no copy and paste?
[17:17] <greppy> jpkeelty: with the usb drive plugged in, when you power it up, hold down alt, that should give you a list of devices to boot from.
[17:17] <anygivenname> i am an ordinary citizen...no expert....dunno what kde is
[17:17] <obengdako> anygivenname: what copy paste are you referring to
[17:17] <jpkeelty> greppy: i want to have osx on the unternal , and 1/2 of an external usb hdd boootable to ubuntu and the other 1/2 just as storage space
[17:18] <DualProxy> Do group passwords work in 10.4?
[17:18] <coz_> jpkeelty,  apparenlty you can access the open firmware on that mac  command-option-i-f
[17:18] <benhem> anygivenname: kde is a graphical front end for the linux system
[17:18] <st__> obengdako, files in file manager
[17:18] <coz_> jpkeelty,  rather   command-option-o-f
[17:18] <glebihan> anygivenname: of course there is copy and paste...
[17:18] <jpkeelty> greppy: yea using rEFIT i can get to a boot menu... but it wont allow for boot from external.. i see the "linux" penguin as a choice.. but if selected.. it just freezes
[17:19] <obengdako> st__: but there is copy and paste there
[17:19] <st__> what parameters should I give to cifs so it worked exactly as Samba?
[17:19] <st__> is there a way to reduce Ubuntu size? i have barebones X+sound system but it takes 1,2 GB
[17:19] <magicianlord> ctrl+c = copy; ctrl+v = paste
[17:19] <ikonia> st__: just remove what you don't need
[17:19] <greppy> jpkeelty: usb or firewire?
[17:19] <anygivenname> pls help me copy & paste the file
[17:20] <magicianlord> 1.3 GB is about right for an ubuntu base install. 1-1.3 GB
[17:20] <jpkeelty> greppy: USB, previous versions of osx had to use firewire to boot.. but since the intel chips they can apparently boot from usb as well
[17:20] <benhem> st__: you have Xubuntu?
[17:20] <livindaylite> is Ubuntu repository experiencing network problems? I have a red triangle with exclamation mark on my panel
[17:20] <area51pilot> I am trying to use gxine media player to view DVD content but the player says no demuxer is present ...  what do I need to do to get gxine to play DVD's?
[17:20] <greppy> jpkeelty: yes, as long as it is usb 2.0
[17:20] <DualProxy> Is there a command to list who are group admins?
[17:20] <jpkeelty> greppy: which it is
[17:21] <st__> benhem, I have a minimal install
[17:21] <anygivenname> is there a sudo command for copy & paste ?
[17:21] <glebihan> anygivenname: what file are you trying to copy, from where and to where ?
[17:21] <bobstro> DualProxy:  you mean who is a member of admin group?
[17:21] <benhem> st__: of Xubuntu, or Ubuntu?
[17:21] <st__> anygivenname, sudo cp WHAT WHERE
[17:21] <st__> benhem, ubuntu
[17:21] <glebihan> anygivenname: sudo cp srcfilename destfilename
[17:21] <anygivenname> .conf file from /usr/share/samba to /etc/samba
[17:21] <ikonia> st__: then its up to you to remove what you don't need
[17:22] <greppy> jpkeelty: k, if you hang around here, I may take a shot at it over the next couple of days to see if I can get it installed to a USB drive here.  What Mac hardware are you trying to do this on, just curious
[17:22] <benhem> st__: ok, I think Xubuntu can save you a bit of space
[17:22] <DualProxy> bobstro: no, who are admins of a group ( have the ability to add and remove users from a group).
[17:22] <glebihan> anygivenname: sudo cp /usr/share/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba
[17:22] <magicianlord> anygivenname: it wont let you copy, because those are system files. and you need to be running as root or via sudo when executing. you can either sudo cp from terminal, or sudo nautilus from terminal to lauch the graphical file manager and then copy the files anywhere.
[17:23] <st__> DualProxy, anyone who is in sudoers file
[17:23] <Pr070cal> VLC is unable to open the MRL 'alsa:///dev/dsp is anyone having problems with vlc ?
[17:23] <jpkeelty> greppy: much appreciated... im using intel imac, dual core , 2x 2.4Mhz, 500g internal dhh
[17:23] <jpkeelty> hdd
[17:23] <pw-toxic> hi, i want to see the output of /proc/mdstat every second in my console - how can i do this?
[17:24] <jpkeelty> greppy: OSX version 10.6.4
[17:24] <bobstro> DualProxy:  /etc/group is owned and writable by root, so root or anybody who can become root. you could be more granular with sudo to allow someone to work with groups.
[17:24] <jpkeelty> greppy: 500g seagate external
[17:24] <jpkeelty> jpkeelty: 4g ram
[17:24] <st__> pw-toxic, loop with sleep 1
[17:24] <greppy> jpkeelty: that's pretty close to what my macbook is :)
[17:24] <pw-toxic> st__, and how is the terminal command for this? ;)
[17:25] <Seveas> pw-toxic, watch -n1 'cat /proc/mdstat'
[17:25] <DualProxy> bobstro: good point, I will look more in to this. Thank you.
[17:25] <pw-toxic> Seveas, thx
[17:25] <livindaylite> is Ubuntu repository experiencing network problems? I have a red triangle with exclamation mark on my panel
[17:25] <jpkeelty> greppy: cool, well if you feel inspired to try it i would be forever indebted to you. Oh and im usind rEFIT bootloader as well
[17:25] <cmyk> hey
[17:26] <greppy> jpkeelty: hrm, k, I'm just using the stock one.
[17:26] <area51pilot> I am trying to use gxine media player to view DVD content but the player says no demuxer is present ...  what do I need to do to get gxine to play DVD's?   :-D
[17:26] <cmyk> install ubuntu for netbooks as a VM. Why are apps like open office and vnc in greek? the sys lang is english
[17:26] <area51pilot> does anyone know of a good media support chanel?
[17:26] <magicianlord> area51pilot: install vlc media player and use that
[17:26] <bobstro> DualProxy:  of course, they can add themselves to groups at that point. were you trying to allow just adding to a specific group?
[17:26] <jpkeelty> greppy: well i got LESS far with the stock boot loader....  i have tried Mandriva and sabyon as well to no avail
[17:27] <area51pilot> magicianlord: does it work out of the box?
[17:27] <magicianlord> area51pilot: yes, it plays everything.
[17:27] <greppy> jpkeelty: http://refit.sourceforge.net/help/usb_disk.html
[17:27] <bobstro> magicianlord:  won't that depend on the codecs installed?
[17:27] <dPix> any good picture editor? MUST be light please not like gimp :S
[17:27] <cmyk> how can I set the language for all applications to english?
[17:28] <st__> cmyk, in gnome, administration, language
[17:28] <dPix> cmyk, go to System -> Administration -> Language Supoort
[17:28] <cmyk> i did that
[17:28] <cmyk> I think it's just buggy
[17:28] <magicianlord> bobstro: vlc comes with its own internal codecs and does not require separate ones
[17:28] <jpkeelty> greppy: yeah i HAVE seen that but not-well supported does not mean no.. lol
[17:28] <karlo> how I can get out of ctrl - alt - F2 ?? (now I am in it xD (chat with irssi))
[17:29] <cmyk> why would it be in greek? I'm in Switzerland.
[17:29] <glebihan> karlo: Ctrl+Alt+F7 or 8
[17:29] <Tyzao> hey where is the latest ubuntu OS?
[17:29] <sujiths80> how can I avoid password asking each time when I login...
[17:29] <st__> Tyzao, ubuntu.com

[17:29] <area51pilot> magicianlord: cool .... thx
[17:29] <DualProxy> bobstro: well I am reading up an group managment, and it was talking about making a non sudo user able to add users to groups that they are "admins" of. In my tests it worked, but I want to be able to moniter who has power over thoes groups.
[17:29] <dominick> sujiths80, autologin?
[17:29] <Tyzao> ok let me look
[17:29] <glebihan> sujiths80: System->Administration->Login screen
[17:30] <dPix> any good picture editor? MUST be light please not like gimp :S
[17:30] <sujiths80> after login it is asking password in desktop
[17:30] <bobstro> DualProxy:  ah, sounds like something custom. got a link?
[17:30] <Seveas> dPix, tuxpaint
[17:30] <st__> dPix, mtpaint if it's for technical graphics
[17:30] <bobstro> dPix:  gnome paint perhaps?
[17:30] <cmyk> ubuntu is fubar, at least the distro i have
[17:30] <bobstro> cmyk:  is that just an observation, or are you looking for help?
[17:30] <sujiths80> keyreg
[17:31] <st__> cmyk, i believe it's some font bug, if text is in english but written with greek letters
[17:31] <cmyk> I am trying to understand why it bugs
[17:31] <dPix> Seveas, st__ , bobstro  do you know this option of editing a picture that has Windows Vista?
[17:31] <magicianlord> cmyk: what are your bugs
[17:31] <cmyk> or wether I should report these bugs
[17:31] <Seveas> dPix, ask ##windows
[17:31] <st__> dPix, had you extracted it?
[17:31] <sunshinepants> updated to 10.10 and...
[17:31] <cmyk> as I explained: I installed the latest stable version for netbooks in a parallels vm
[17:31] <dPix> Seveas, st__ , bobstro  something like that, only simple editing, red eyes, cropping, brightness...
[17:31] <dPix> st__, extracted from win you mean?
[17:31] <sunshinepants> virtual consoles work again!
[17:32] <DualProxy> bobstro: Let me look.
[17:32] <cmyk> I'd expect it to work out of the box, no?
[17:32] <dPix> Seveas, I guess they will not speak my language there jhahaha
[17:32] <bobstro> dPix:  one of the photo viewer/album programs will probably help with that. these are just normal images, right? .jpg ?
[17:32] <st__> dPix, yes, from uxlogin.dll or whichever it is
[17:32] <dPix> bobstro, yes, thats it, something like for .jpg
[17:32] <anygivenname> when i try
[17:32] <anygivenname> sudo service smbd restart
