[16:08] <SD0> Aldus: Haha. It's not bad. It's pretty good.
[16:09] <pw-toxic_> gsb, i have reinstalled everything and now it works.. strange ;)
[16:09] <gsb> pw-toxic_: i don't think you can 'restart' php5 as its not a daemon/server, though if i were you i would try rebooting the system
[16:10] <gsb> pw-toxic_: congrats! God Linus must be happy from you
[16:11] <saleem> how do i fix nvidia driver on lucid?
[16:11] <saleem> im getting an abnormal display
[16:13] <juk> !nv | saleem:
[16:13] <billmania> Once I've executed "do-release-upgrade" is there a corresponding utility which reverts to the previous version, in case the upgrade breaks more things than it fixes?
[16:13] <pw-toxic_> gsb, yay! and my drupal7 installation works as well... i dont know where the error was but reinstalling everything helped me out )
[16:13] <acicula> billmania: no
[16:13] <billmania> Is "do-release-upgrade --sandbox" the best alternative?
[16:13] <acicula> billmania: that simulates the update but does not apply it yeah
[16:14] <gsb> pw-toxic_: may be you restarted apache or something
[16:14] <pw-toxic_> gsb, maybe you can also tell me how i can update ubuntu without using the update manager? i have only vnc access to this ubuntu machine and vnc crashes when i use the update manager
[16:14] <pw-toxic_> gsb, no apache gets restarted automatically on reinstalling packages and i rebootet my system serveral times inbetween
[16:14] <billmania> acicula: Thanks. I'm trying to see if an upgrade will solve a current problem. Otherwise I want to stay at the same version (because everything else works fine).
[16:14] <gsb> pw-toxic_: i update my ubuntu with "apt-get update" and then 'apt-get dist-upgrade"
[16:14] <acicula> billmania: per the man page, it upgrades the system using aufs, overlay filesystem
[16:15] <acicula> billmania: but im not sure if that persists over a reboot
[16:15] <billmania> acicula: Understood. I should be able to do all my testing without requiring a reboot.
[16:15] <pw-toxic_> gsb, "dist-upgrade" does only update the packages but keeps my ubuntu version (10.4 in my case)?
[16:15] <billmania> Actually, I'd like to be confident that a reboot will fully restore the old version and functionality.
[16:15] <pw-toxic_> i need to keep LTS
[16:16] <saleem> thank you ubottu
[16:16] <unixhacker91> saleem: How can I stop Ubuntu from showing my emails, and letting people email from my email address after logging off?
[16:16] <acicula> billmania: from what i gather it stores the changse in a aufs under /tmp, which are lost after a reboot
[16:17] <gsb> pw-toxic_: then i think just giving "upgrade" would work
[16:17] <llutz> unixhacker91: ask your admin to configure the system correct.
[16:17] <billmania> acicula: That shouldn't be a problem for what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to import photos from a Samsung SCH-U640 phone and 10.04.2.LTS doesn't recognize the phone.
[16:17] <eXpLoD> what's the package name of openoffice?
[16:17] <acicula> so it resets the system back to when you started the update process, but not sure if you can test new packages that way as its seems geared to testing the update process itself
[16:17] <pw-toxic_> gsb, what is the difference between upgrade and dist-upgrade
[16:18] <minimec> unixhacker91: Disable autologin? ;)
[16:18] <acicula> pw-toxic_: it upgrades the kernel and a few other critical packages
[16:18] <billmania> acicula: Understood. Still worth a try.
[16:18] <acicula> dist-upgrade does not do a release upgrade
[16:19] <pw-toxic_> acicula, and dist-upgrade also upgrades to a new version of ubuntu? 10.10 in my case?
[16:19] <juk> !word | eXpLoD:
[16:19] <DARKGuy> hey, anybody knows how do I recover my bluetooth system tray icon? :S
[16:19] <gsb> pw-toxic_: also upgrade does not remove any pacakage or install a new package but dist-upgrade does
[16:19] <dajhorn> DARKGuy:  System -> Preferences - >  Bluetooth -> "Show Bluetooth Icon"
[16:20] <acicula> pw-toxic_: unlses you change repositories dist-upgrade wont change your ubuntu release
[16:20] <acicula> pw-toxic_: change to a newer ubuntu release that is
[16:20] <pw-toxic_> and how can i then upgrade to 10.10?
[16:20] <acicula> do-release-upgrade or update-manager
[16:21] <pw-toxic_> thx
[16:21] <pw-toxic_> upate-manager doesnt work for me
[16:21] <beachwood23> i thought that you had to upgrade with "dist-upgrade"

[16:21] <SD0> gerard: Hi.
[16:22] <gerard> sdo what is your langquist
[16:22] <acicula> pw-toxic_: that can be because you are set to only upgrade between lts versions or its disabled period. other reasos why it wont work include outdated mirors and broken proxies
[16:23] <lazarus_> http://paste.ubuntu.com/563934/
[16:23] <AbhijiT> hi gerard
[16:23] <eXpLoD> what's the package name of openoffice? !word didn't help me
[16:23] <acicula> !upgrade
[16:23] <AbhijiT> existx, openoffice.org
[16:23] <dajhorn> beachwood23:  `apt-get dist-upgrade` is really just `apt-get upgrade` with relaxed dependency checking.  `update-manager -d` is what most people should use.
[16:23] <midy0089> hi all, is there someone who could advice me regarding upstart
[16:23] <pw-toxic_> acicula, no update-manager doesnt work for me, because i can only access this machine via VNC, and VNC crashes when using update-manager
[16:23] <AbhijiT> midy0089, ask
[16:23] <DARKGuy> dajhorn, I did that but it doesnt work
[16:23] <acicula> pw-toxic_: right, try do-release-upgrade then?
[16:24] <gerard> abhijit hi speak your dutch
[16:24] <DARKGuy> dajhorn,  it was the most logical answer :P
[16:24] <pw-toxic_> acicula, yes that was the command i was looking for! thanks!
[16:24] <dajhorn> DARKGuy:  Reboot.  Maybe your bluetooth daemon crashed.
[16:24] <beachwood23> dajhorn: thanks for the clarification

[16:24] <unixhacker91> dajhorn: If I switch from Vista to ubuntu is there a way to use windows or mac programs in ubuntu?
[16:24] <midy0089> i need to reconfigure samba startup script
[16:24] <acicula> pw-toxic_: heh right
[16:24] <midy0089> but i don`t idea how should i do this
[16:24] <acicula> pw-toxic_: happy upgrading :)
[16:24] <pw-toxic_> unixhacker91, ever heard of wine?
[16:25] <SD0> I'm trying to "Trespass" a proxy, there are some forbidden websites. Help me, please.
[16:25] <dajhorn> unixhacker91:  Several...  Wine, CrossOver, VMware, Virtual Box, etc.
[16:25] <acicula> SD0: offtopic
[16:25] <DARKGuy> dajhorn, the PC was started today since last friday, and it hasnt been shown since then. I've restarted the daemon too, nothing happens

[16:28] <Gnea> d2tehp: I'm talking about system->preferences->display

[16:57] <minimec> midhuno: open a console, type dmesg and check the last 10 lines, or pastebin them. The stuff about the bluetooth dongle you plugged.
[16:57] <KB1JWQ> LIJI1: And when rebooted, does the system log or dmesg show anything diagnostically useful?

[17:01] <asa> can i backup data through ubuntu that sustains after pc format
[17:02] <mythid> Can anyone help me with my pcmia card problem?
[17:03] <minimec> midhuno: Your stick is not recognized with ubuntu 10.10. There are some USB errors. I my eyes this is a kernel problem in combination with udev. If you have no problems with 10.04LTS, consider a fresh 10.04.
[17:03] <Kerio2> Hello I have (i think) a newbie question. Im trying to run a program but when i try to do so i get "no such file or directory" I have verified that the program is in that folder. any ideas?
[17:04] <Coffeholikas> Is there going to be a Ubuntu tablet?
[17:04] <minimec> midhuno: what does lsusb in a console give you?
[17:05] <asa> anyone evr tried intstalling windows after ubuntu
[17:05] <asa> ?
[17:05] <rumpe1> Kerio2, how did you do it? what is the filesystem the program is on?
[17:05] <Coffeholikas> I installed them into VirtualBOx
[17:05] <midhuno> minimec: i plugged that dongle in my PC(with windows 7) in which "the usb device not recognized" msg appear
[17:06] <Coffeholikas> dude
[17:06] <hidnshadows> How would I go about running an application designed for a mobile phone, using a Java emulator? I'm trying to get Opera Mini on Lucid
[17:06] <Pici> asa: You can, but you will lose GRUB when windows installs over your MBR.
[17:06] <Coffeholikas> did u tryed pull out electricity cable?
[17:06] <Coffeholikas> and wait 30 sec

[17:06] <midhuno> minimec:http://paste.ubuntu.com/563968/
[17:07] <yuskhanzab> anyone here from malaysia?
[17:07] <canci__> hidnshadows, don't know. did you try to run it with just java? this command: java -jar name_of_programme.jar
[17:07] <SD0> Well, gotta go people.
[17:07] <SD0> Take care and have a nice day/night.
[17:07] <yuskhanzab> i got something to ask
[17:07] <hidnshadows> canci__, I'll check that out, never thought of that thanks
[17:07] <NikS> Fuchs: something happened and I lost the title bars of all windows.. keyboard input was not working as well.. tried to launch compiz fusion icon, and brought it all back.. but still cant rotate the desk..
[17:08] <Kerio2> rumpe1; filesystem is ext4, i tried "./hldsupdatetool"
[17:08] <canci__> hidnshadows, yw
[17:08] <minimec> midhuno: YOu see. The adapter is not in the usb device list. Was it plugged when you did lsusb?
[17:08] <Fuchs> NikS: yes, because probably now compiz again is not running
[17:08] <Fuchs> NikS: it would be good to have the error messages that came when you tried to launch it
[17:08] <midhuno> minimec:yes
[17:08] <rumpe1> Kerio2, did it show up before the command in output of "ls"?
[17:09] <minimec> midhuno: COuld you once try to unplug that cardreader if possible, maybe even the wifi adapter and then reboot. then only plug the bluetooth dongle and see if it appears in the panel.
[17:09] <minimec> midhuno: Also do a dmeg then. Maybe the usb errors dissapear.
[17:09] <eXpLoD> how can i tell what debian version my ubuntu uses?
[17:09] <midhuno> minimec: they all are inbuilt

[17:12] <hidnshadows> canci__, I'm getting some error messages, I'm pretty sure I downloaded the whole thing
[17:12] <Fuchs> NikS: your graphic card is blacklisted
[17:12] <eXpLoD> I've always thought of ubuntu as debian,gnome as DE and compiz as WM
[17:12] <Kerio2> rumpe1 do you mean the program? yes it does show up when i do a "ls"
[17:12] <NikS> Fuchs: some drivers missing or something? mine is quite an old pc..! Blacklisted?? did not get it!
[17:12] <minimec> midhuno: ok. You probably need to reinstall a fresh 10.04 and stick with that, or try an alternate kernel with this 10.10 install
[17:12] <canci__> hidnshadows, sorry, no java guru here. you may get error messages if it relies on something explecitely from that system. try and contact the developers of that software.
[17:13] <hidnshadows> alright, I'll keep trying too
[17:13] <Fuchs> NikS: the compiz developers keep a list of hardware on which compiz is not supported. Your graphic card is on that list.
[17:13] <fabio> i have an audio problem with lxubuntu
[17:13] <brunner> how do I disable a restricted video driver from the CLI?  X won't start.
[17:13] <fabio> i am not able to output nothing
[17:14] <midhuno> minimec: is dat really the problem with the kernel???may be the hardware is damaged na???
[17:14] <Fuchs> NikS: there used to be a way to work around this blacklist (even though it is not recommended), but Ubuntu disabled that in it's packages.
[17:14] <sisif> Hey guys. Can somebody on this channel think of any reason why my WiFi connection to be capped to ~130kps after a random amount of time? (and no, it`s not ny ISP).
[17:14] <g_0_0> fabio, in the terminal type - alsactl init
[17:14] <NikS> Fuchs: ohh..! :( that is bad!
[17:14] <minimec> midhuno: Well. If it works with 10.04, try a ubuntu 10.04 live CD
[17:14] <midhuno> minimec: k
[17:14] <fabio> then?
[17:15] <g_0_0> brunner, did you have any luck with the 32 bit version?
[17:15] <minimec> midhuno: YOu told me it worked with ubuntu 10.04 right?
[17:15] <NikS> Fuchs: anyway, I am quite happy with the way ubuntu looks by default.. Animations can wait for my next pc! :) thanks for your help and time! much appreciated! :)
[17:16] <midhuno> minimec: yes but when i plug that usb in windows now it is not worked
[17:16] <brunner> g_0_0, no, until I discovered the kernel parameter nosetmode (or nomodeset -- can't remember which)
[17:16] <brunner> g_0_0, with that kernel parameter, all versions work great!
[17:16] <midhuno> minimec: if the hang problem arises what will i do??
[17:16] <minimec> midhuno: And it worked on WIndows before?
[17:16] <brunner> however, I just installed a restricted driver and now X won't boot
[17:16] <brunner> start*
[17:16] <midhuno> minimec:yes
[17:17] <Fuchs> NikS: no problem, have fun with ubuntu anyway
[17:17] <eurythmia> I have a server box with 10.04 LTS x86_64 installed ... the machine has a sata dvd drive and two sata hard drives ... unfortunately only one of the sata hard drives shows up in /dev ... how can I get the second one to be recognized?
[17:17] <BonevG> brunner, run in single user mode and apt-get remove "the driver"
[17:17] <brunner> BonevG, the problem is that I don't know how to find the name of the package
[17:17] <brunner> It's the binary NVIDIA driver, the non-free one
[17:17] <NikS> Fuchs, :)
[17:17] <BonevG> dpkg --list | grep "string" e.g.  nvidia
[17:17] <minimec> midhuno: Well that is indeed no good sign, but before you throw it away I would do some other test on other computeres and with ubuntu 10.04 too.
[17:18] <minimec> midhuno: What do you mean with 'hang' problem?
[17:18] <rkirkwood> Trying to install ubuntu and not able to get to the intall option screen on boot up. Any ideas why?

[17:19] <gedas> Hello. Is here any c++ programmers???
[17:19] <brunner> oohh... I see. it lists what's installed.

[17:19] <tempel> hi, I want to chroot-install packages, I want to "unpack" but do the steps "prepare and configure" after the first reboot. I can prevent APT from doing the CONFIGURE step. But "PREPARE" is looking up /var/run/utmp. (my daemons are not running in the chroot-env - so installation(=prepare/configure) has to be done later on) - any hints? ..link to a doku?
[17:19] <christoph_> thx for anwers
[17:20] <BonevG> brunner, i don`t know if it`s different but for sure it will give you more certain answer
[17:20] <LIJI1> KB1JWQ: Disabled ACPI (I think I did) and I still get the same message
[17:20] <brunner> BonevG, no, your way was better. it only lists what's currently installed. thank you!
[17:20] <BonevG> yw
[17:20] <minimec> midhuno: You have at least two running kernels on your system now. So with that <lef>shift thing after the BIOS screen you will always be able to choose a different kernel or a recovery mode.
[17:20] <LIJI1> Most of the times, at least. Sometimes it's just a black screen
[17:21] <tempel> is there a way to "install" without the prepare and configure steps, and just do the unpacking part?! (does that make sense for you?)
[17:21] <minimec> midhuno: I don't know why your computer freezed...
[17:22] <Kerio2> rumpe1, im following this guide http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-set-up-a-Counter-Strike-1-6-dedicated-server-under-Linux-35607.shtml im currently stuck on "run hldsupdatetool" part
[17:22] <cached> is there a way to specify the password from within the ssh command? like ssh cached@server --pass=foo?
[17:23] <midhuno> minimec: my computer's keyboard is working(that is i am able to on caps lock and numlock) but mouse pointer and running processes are freezed
[17:24] <minimec> midhuno: So if you have all these problems with 10.10, I would really consider a fresh 10.04 install.
[17:24] <Pici> cached: No.  If you really need some sort of passwordless login you should really look into creating a ssh key.. or an additonal ssh key that has no password.
[17:24] <minimec> midhuno: I guess you r mouse is an USB mouse? ;)
[17:25] <midhuno> minimec: no it is a touch pad(i have laptop)
[17:25] <corinth> Hey #ubuntu. I'm trying to mount my windows volume, but it returns "Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened."
[17:25] <RInstock> hey, best place to ask a simple non-hacky question ettercap on ubuntu ?
[17:25] <minimec> midhuno: ok. and that one is not working at all or stopped working? Have a look in <system<preferences<mouse. there should be a touchpad tab.
[17:26] <Pici> cached: Take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys for a guide, just don't use a password if you're going that route.
[17:26] <BonevG> corinth, check /media/ for already mounted partition
[17:26] <mmoebius> RInstock: You mean like Ethereal etc ?
[17:27] <midhuno> minimec: my mouse pointer will freeze on the screen,,and the copying process will stop
[17:27] <cached> Pici: i generally use keys, but i'm not too sure i'm allowed to edit the authorized_keys file in this case (shared account on the department's server). i'll check with them first, though
[17:27] <corinth> BonevG, nothing shows being mounted there
[17:27] <RInstock> mmoebius, ettercap, I want to log all packets / sniff all packets to a set url
[17:27] <BonevG> corinth,  mount -l
[17:27] <BonevG> ?
[17:27] <midhuno> minimec:before updating 10.10 i have no such problems
[17:27] <multiplatinum> corinth,  check my PM
[17:28] <somnambulant> I want to try out Unity. D'led the Natty daily and no Unity... anyone know how to get it?
[17:28] <minimec> midhuno: LOkks as you had a running Ubuntu 10.04 and now you have a rather buggy 10.10. So I would really consider a fresh ubuntu 10.04 install.
[17:28] <Sheepherd> how comes i have zlib installed and ./configure returns: "configure: error: *** Cannot compile without zlib."?
[17:28] <qlip> anyone able to install and update 10 10?
[17:29] <BonevG> qlip, i`m on 10.10 atm works fine whats the issue ?
[17:29] <qlip> I install fine, then when I do the updates it locks up tight
[17:29] <dr3af1> hello,i got a acer notebook,and i want to ask if anyone know what the "ePower Management/powerSmart Manager" does so i can make something similar in ubuntu,cause the button dont do anything
[17:30] <midhuno> minimec: but when i tried to instal 10.04 yesterday it freezes soon after d install..i prefer 10.10 without updates
[17:30] <HalfMoon> no problems here, qlip.
[17:30] <trism> Sheepherd: you need the -dev package, zlib1g-dev
[17:30] <qlip> maybe I'll do that install 10 10 and not update
[17:30] <Sheepherd> trism, ah! thanks :)
[17:30] <BonevG> qlip, check your repo sources, clean already downloaded packages and also check if there isn`t synaptic or any other package manager working at the same time
[17:30] <HalfMoon> qlip, does it lock if you use "sudo apt-get update"  ?
[17:31] <multiplatinum> qlip,  see my PM
[17:31] <minimec> midhuno: So you told me you had no problems with 10.04, and suddenly you have problems? What's true now?
[17:31] <qlip> update manager, automatic updates
[17:31] <tempel> when installing with apt/aptitude/dpkg I read: "Preparing to replace ......" How to stop dpkg from doing this step? I just want to unpack (goal is to run dist-upgrade in a chroot-env and do the configuration steps later on)! (so, can I run unpack without "prepare") I CANNOT FIND DOCUMENTATION on this
[17:33] <Guest8144> i got my reso saved now using this command "DISPLAY=:0 nvidia-settings"
[17:34] <midhuno> minimec: previously i was using 10.04...at dat time i have no problems..on that time no video driver is in my os..and the screen resolution is only 800x600....nw i instaled video driver by searching ubuntu forum on 10.10.....then when i update 10.10 problem arised
[17:35] <|Kellan|> Hello All I am trying to compile php 5.2 in ubuntu 10.4, What I would like to find out is what options were used in creating the official ubuntu package. Is there a way I can download the deb-src and find out what configure options were passed?
[17:36] <minimec> midhuno: Oh man. We started with bluetooth and end in GPU problems. Cool. ;) There I can give you the options. If I understand that correctly, there is no property driver by Nvidia or ATI for your card, so you have to use some opensource driver. What GPU?
[17:37] <midhuno> minimec: what is GPU??
[17:37] <Helbom> i have installed Subclipse 1.6.x
[17:38] <midhuno> minimec: i have no property driver on my lap
[17:38] <minimec> midhuno: Sorry. What graphics card do you have. (console) 'lspci | grep VGA'
[17:38] <Helbom> damn.. didn't mean to press enter :P
[17:39] <tempel> when installing with apt/aptitude/dpkg I read: "Preparing to replace ......" How to stop dpkg from doing this step?

[17:39] <Helbom> i have installed Sublicpse 1.6.x in the latest version of Eclipse PDT.. but i cannot find the SVN perspective anywhere :/
[17:39] <Helbom> using 10.10
[17:39] <Helbom> anyone have an idea on how to solve this?
[17:40] <inashdeen> hi, need some help, anyone knows the ram disk file in a ubuntu 10.10 linux????
[17:40] <Helbom> it's my 3rd day as an exwin user... so i'm a total rookie
[17:41] <minimec> midhuno: Well... I have no idea, how that card is supported in linux.
[17:41] <dr3af1> hello,anyone here got an acer notebook?
[17:41] <Kerio2> hello, im trying to run a program by typing ./programname.extenstion but i only get "no such file or program" i have verified that the file exists and i have also added x permission to the program. any ideas? im following this guide "http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-set-up-a-Counter-Strike-1-6-dedicated-server-under-Linux-35607.shtml" any ideas?
[17:41] <minimec> midhuno: This is a rather 'unusual' GPU card.
[17:41] <lighta> Kerio2, are you in the good repertorie to write ./ ?
[17:41] <midhuno> minimec:i paste some xorg file in /etc/X11
[17:42] <inashdeen> anyone?
[17:42] <Kerio2> im in the same folder as the file minimec,
[17:42] <Ubuntu_1104> dr3af1 I am using one.
[17:42] <midhuno> minimec:which i was found on this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10435836#post10435836
[17:42] <minimec> midhuno: Do you still have to do that now, or you only did that with 10.04. ?
[17:43] <midhuno> minimec: i did dat with 10.10 also
[17:43] <Roasted> I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.1 in a vmware virtual machine running DHCP. It cannot get out externally, but other servers can. What the????
[17:43] <rigved> Helbom: this is a #ubuntu help channel. you can ask on #eclipse. but i believe that there is a small button on the top right corner that lets you change the perspective. simplest way is to add a new project from existing resources -> then select from svn repo. better ask on #eclipse.
[17:43] <inashdeen> anyone
[17:44] <inashdeen> btw, can anyone explain to me what is a ram disk file?
[17:44] <Kerio2> lighta: im in the same folder. is that what you mean?
[17:44] <Helbom> rigved: i thought I would ask here since i'm using ubuntu ;) i know my way around eclipse since that's the IDE we use at work
 minimec:which i was found on this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10435836#post10435836        (post #5)
[17:45] <Helbom> but no matter how i attack the issue in eclipse it just won't show any SVN nowhere
[17:45] <Helbom> and i've already asked in #eclipse ;)
[17:46] <rigved> inashdeen: initial RAM image. it's the image loaded to RAM before the linux kernel image is loaded
[17:46] <lighta> Kerio2, yeah well your type of error appear only when the file is not in the dir
[17:46] <inashdeen> rigved:hi,this is my prob. out of curiosity, i installed pardus 2009 along side my ubuntu 10.10, i used pardus bootloader, i guess, as it reboots, it shows pardus, windows 7, but no ubuntu 10.10. so how to resolve it?
[17:46] <andai> I ran a virus in wine (not on purpose). Permissions are messed up now ( the file is in Trash but i can't delete it )
[17:46] <minimec> midhuno: Man you are not lucky. One thing we can say is, that your bluetooth adapter is not recognized correctly with 10.10. I am really sorry, but I hove really no experience with SIS GPU Chips. Sorry.
[17:47] <andai> where is trash located?
[17:47] <inashdeen> anyone
[17:47] <Pici> !trash | andai
[17:48] <andai> Pici: YEAHH deleted it. thx!
[17:48] <rigved> inashdeen: i only know how to manually modify grub2. you should load grub2 as the default bootloader. then you can manually add any other OS that you want - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[17:48] <midhuno> minimec: k thanks...actually sorry for d trouble.....
[17:48] <afeijo> hey guys!
[17:48] <afeijo> how can I merge 2 files? import the lines of file B into A ?
[17:48] <th_> afeijo, copy paste?
[17:49] <inashdeen> rigved: how can i do that. u see, i tried to run the live ubuntu 10.10 cd.but i keep on giving me etcd: (cant remember the rest) error
[17:49] <afeijo> th_: lol I could, but its to copy to over 10 files
[17:49] <inashdeen> rigved: *it keep on
[17:49] <minimec> midhuno: I see the mess, that you are in. I would stay on 10.10, I agree. I would also test your bluetooth dongle with a 10.04 live CD to see if it works.
[17:49] <Deddly> Is there a program I can run in Ubuntu to repair my Windows XP partition?
[17:49] <Helbom> afeijo: have you googled?
[17:50] <r00tH4cK3r> try trinity rescue disk
[17:50] <eurythmia> I have a server box with 10.04 LTS x86_64 installed ... the machine has a sata dvd drive and two sata hard drives ... unfortunately only one of the sata hard drives shows up in /dev ... how can I get the second one to be recognized?
[17:50] <afeijo> I did, I will google more...
[17:50] <rigved> inashdeen: we can't help you if we don't know the error that you are encountering
[17:50] <zachlr> so like, I just started using ubuntu, and I was editing a file in gedit that was on the windows drive, and I'm positive I saved it, but now it doesn't appear to be where I saved in windows or ubuntu.  I've searched both filesystems for everything I could think of.  any ideas?
[17:50] <Helbom> i found it on first attempt
[17:50] <midhuno> minimec: k can i test dat now??
[17:50] <Helbom> "ubuntu merge file"
[17:50] <r00tH4cK3r> hey guys, i am having a glitch and could use some help
[17:50] <Helbom> first link
[17:50] <rigved> r00tH4cK3r: ask away
[17:51] <multiplatinum> Deddly,  check my PM
[17:51] <minimec> midhuno: Maybe that the dongle is simply broken. It is reasonable to follow develpment of your SIS card using an bleeding edge ubuntu. Well if you have a 10.04 CD, you can boot that one and plug the dongle. It should be recognized.
[17:51] <r00tH4cK3r> okay well it started last night. when i reboot or boot after shutdown there is a lag and theme glitch. it does not happen when i log off and back in though
[17:51] <th_> in pidgin. whats that blue spot next to somebodys name?
[17:52] <Deddly> multiplatinum: Thanks
[17:52] <midhuno> minimec:can u come tomorrow...it is really late here...i am from india..
[17:53] <r00tH4cK3r> does anyone know how i can fix my issue?
[17:53] <minimec> midhuno: I may be here. Otherwise there are many others here in the channel ;) Greets from Switzerland.

[17:56] <Varun_> Can any one suggest me the reason behind cron job not being executed?
[17:56] <bp0> Pici, thanks
[17:56] <th_> Deddly, can you see that partition with gparted?
[17:56] <llutz> !details| Varun_:
[17:57] <minimec> midhuno: YOu can test your bluetooth dongle yourself with the live CD. And for the graphics card you have, I am not a help for you. We only updated the system. This is what evry Ubuntu user should do. ;)
[17:57] <BluesKaj> Deddly, one thing you can do , sudo update-grub ,just be sure the grub menu is up to date
[17:57] <inashdeen> rigved: it says ISOLINUX 4.01 debian-20100714 ETCD isolinux: Disk error 80, AX=422A drive 90
[17:57] <BluesKaj> to be sure
[17:58] <Deddly> th_: OK I'm downloading gparted
[17:58] <r00tH4cK3r> i am running ubuntu 10.10 and i honestly do not know what the issue here is exactly but my hunch is that it may be an error in login
[17:58] <Varun_> I am using ubuntu 10.04 LTS server, i am trying to create a simple cron job to get executed every 30 mins and has a code like
[17:58] <Varun_>  */30 * * * * echo 'Hi'
[17:58] <Varun_> ubottu: I am using ubuntu 10.04 LTS server, i am trying to create a simple cron job to get executed every 30 mins and has a code like  */30 * * * * echo 'Hi'
[17:59] <Deddly> BluesKaj: OK I will do, but the crash happened when using XP and I haven't been able to use it at al since (it crashes early in the boot sequence)
[17:59] <llutz> Varun_: where do you expect your "hi" to be seen?
[17:59] <edwardteach> !ubottu | edwardteach
[17:59] <midhuno> minimec: i think SIS is a VGA card..there is no graphic card on my laptop...is dis possible to work on linux without graphic card an no desktop effects??i had worked on the same system with windows 7 and aero effects
[17:59] <Varun_> midhuno: on screen obviously
[18:00] <diegosachicaherr> hola
[18:00] <llutz> Varun_: cronjobs won't open any terminal for you.
[18:00] <midhuno> minimec: then how such problems arises??
[18:00] <g_0_0> midhuno, your graphics card should work
[18:00] <g_0_0> midhuno, what is the problem?
[18:00] <AntonioBlob> hi, i want to remove smbd ato boot
[18:00] <Varun_> llutz: ok fine, but no other command is getting executed either
[18:01] <diegosachicaherr> soy nuevo en linux me pueden explicar para que sirve xchat??
[18:01] <g_0_0> !es | diegosachicaherr
[18:01] <llutz> Varun_: if you refuse to give real details of your problem, you won't get any usefull answers
[18:01] <th_> diegosachicaherr, speak english!
[18:01] <llutz> !pm | r00tH4cK3r
[18:01] <Varun_> llutz: ok, i want a wget command to run in background and hit a URL every 30 mins
[18:02] <minimec> midhuno: The opensource driver for your card is simply not ready now. Not all the hardware suppliers are collaborating with the opensource community. So the community has to do a big part...
[18:02] <midhuno> g_0_0: i have a SIS m672 chipset... when i updated 10.10 my system freezed on copying an .avi file from DVD...and also freezes on copying lage files from harddisk
[18:02] <llutz> Varun_: and whats your real crontab-entry looking like? what crontab are you using?

[18:03] <Varun_> */30 * * * * wget http://www.abcd.com/index.php
[18:03] <llutz> Varun_: 1st: use full pathes in crontabs, cron uses a limited environment
[18:04] <Varun_> llutz: for example
[18:04] <g_0_0> midhuno, are you sure this is a problem with your graphics card as opposed to something else?
[18:04] <llutz> Varun_: 2nd specify where wget should store the output (same reason as above)
[18:04] <r00tH4cK3r> login lag, and theme glitch. anyone know how to fix?
[18:04] <llutz> Varun_: ... /usr/bin/wget ...
[18:04] <solifugus> Why do ubuntu ssh sessions timeout after two minutes?  How to fix?
[18:06] <ljsoftnet> is there a driver for Intel GMA 3150?

[18:06] <llutz> Varun_: its always advised to end a file with a newline
[18:06] <Varun_> llutz: ok
[18:07] <Varun_> llutz: do i have to restart cron
[18:07] <llutz> Varun_: nope
[18:07] <BluesKaj> Deddly, so you have the windows partition listed in grub then , maybe it's a window mbr issue , if you can get to a C; prompt then do fixmbr
[18:07] <zachlr> how might one check the mounted drives (/media) and their r/w mode? (I have used the command before, but I can't seem to remeber the name)
[18:07] <maco> zachlr: type "mount"
[18:07] <Varun_> llutz: was the syntax correct, I mean */30 will work ?
[18:07] <zachlr> maco, thanks!
[18:08] <Vustom> Are there any better alternatives that are better then WINE for Ubuntu?
[18:09] <Deddly> BluesKaj: So there's nothing I can do from here?

[18:09] <Cube``> how can i prevent ubuntu from booting into graphical mode without booting first?
[18:09] <Cube``> how can i prevent ubuntu from booting into graphical mode without booting first?
[18:10] <Lucase> cube: Install graphic card driver that is reccomended
[18:10] <Lucase> Cube: I didin't read well. I'm sleepy sorry
[18:10] <zachlr> okay so I've got sda1 mounted at /media/... as rw (ubuntu is installed on sdb1), but there seems to be some trouble with files (text, gedit) making it to the drive.  Yesterday I saved a file to the windows drive (desktop), but it didn't make it there apparently.  any ideas?
[18:10] <BluesKaj> Deddly, did you try sudo update-grub , and does it show the windows partition ?, I'm not clear whether or not.
[18:11] <Zed`> ohey silly question - if you set a crontab day of month to '31' what happens in 30 day months or feb?
[18:11] <Varun_> llutz: if the server on which my cron job will run does not have internet connectivity, then will this decrease the performance, i mean trying to hit everytime, but not getting connected
[18:12] <Deddly> BluesKaj: I have done and it did see the partition, yes
[18:12] <llutz> Varun_: no, it just runs into a timeout
[18:12] <Dr_Willis> !fixapt
[18:13] <MC8> What's the easiest way to get a localhost server running?
[18:13] <Varun_> llutz: 1 more ques, is this the most appropriate way of hitting a URL through a command, or shd I change my approach?
[18:13] <edwardteach> Zed`, ,  it will not run
[18:13] <Zed`> edwardteach: thanks
[18:13] <Deddly> How do I re-open an expired bug in launchpad?
[18:13] <Zed`> that's what I figured
[18:14] <midhuno> i am leaving
[18:14] <llutz> Varun_: depends, why do you hit it? do you want content being updated or just keep something alive...
[18:14] <midhuno> g_0_0: pls reply
[18:14] <edwardteach> !bug | Deddly,
[18:14] <jose-neto> i need help!
[18:15] <edwardteach> !ask | jose-neto
[18:15] <Varun_> llutz: that php simply tells me that an application is alive
[18:15] <g_0_0> midhuno, so your screen resolution is fixed, and the machine has frozen when copying files correct?
[18:15] <llutz> Varun_: so wget/curl sound fine to me. there might be other/better solutions, idk
[18:16] <r00tH4cK3r> i am having a lag issue when logging in after reboot or shutdown. and theme glitch. it does not happen when i log on then back on though, can someone help?
[18:16] <midhuno> g_0_0: ya but freezing appears only when i update 10.10
[18:16] <Deddly> edwardteach: Well this is a bug that has already been opened but automatically expired, it says there that I can re-open it but I can't see how
[18:16] <Varun_> llutz: thanks a lot for the solution
[18:16] <g_0_0> midhuno, what version are you currently using?
[18:16] <midhuno> g_0_0:10.10
[18:17] <r00tH4cK3r> i am using ubuntu 10.10 by the way
[18:17] <jose> Hi all
[18:17] <jose> greets from an spanish rookie
[18:18] <edwardteach> Deddly,  i think another one will have to be posted !  if  there are no other bugs the same as yours?
[18:18] <g_0_0> midhuno, does the system crash or is it that the system is unresponsive for a period of time?
[18:18] <midhuno> g_0_0: system become unresponsive....den i restarted it
[18:19] <g_0_0> midhuno, how often has this happened ?
[18:19] <Varun_> llutz: can i ask 1 more question?
[18:19] <Deddly> edwardteach: This bug is exactly the same as mine, that's what I mean. But the status is "Incomplete - expired" and says "Please reopen if this is still an issue in the current Ubuntu release"
[18:19] <_slk> hello

[18:20] <_slk> how can i add more console ttys ? i used to use inittab for that in my previous experience
[18:20] <midhuno> g_0_0: 4-5 times den i reinstalled 10.10 then it will become ok

[18:21] <ttacker> Is it possible to use Pirut with Ubuntu?
[18:21] <midhuno> g_0_0:ya but i dont know what update causes the problem
[18:21] <xangua> ttacker: if it's for linux, yes
[18:22] <Dr_Willis> jose-neto:  could be its mounted with the wrong options, fs is bad so it got remounted read only, or the lock switch is on...
[18:22] <g_0_0> midhuno, after you have reinstalled 10.10 and update packages you have a problem ? is that correct?
[18:22] <g_0_0> midhuno, the problem being that the machine crashes copying files?
[18:22] <midhuno> g_0_0:ya
[18:22] <Varun_> llutz: this cron will continue to execute even when system is restarted?
[18:22] <jose-neto> i cannot add  or edit files insede the SDcard
[18:22] <KB1JWQ> pingbat: That's an rpm package manager.
[18:22] <edwardteach> Deddly,  i would post another if it is closed they close them if there is no activity in it .. have you search the bug list for similar bugs ?
[18:22] <KB1JWQ> Er, that was to Ttech
[18:22] <g_0_0> midhuno, but prior to any updates the machine works correctly?
[18:23] <midhuno> g_0_0: yaaa
[18:23] <KB1JWQ> Doh, disregard me. Tab fail.
[18:23] <Dr_Willis> jose-neto:  see if you can edit a file as the root user perhaps.  that would point to it being mounted with the wrong options
[18:23] <Deddly> edwardteach: I've been searching all over :(
[18:23] <minimec> g_0_0: midhuno: We started with a bluetooth question and updated the system. Kernel 2.6.35-25-generic was installed. There may also have been some updates on the xserver. He may try to boot the original <IP_ADDRESS> kernel.
[18:24] <edwardteach> Deddly,  what was the problem again sorry?   :-0
[18:24] <jose-neto> how would i do that
[18:24] <midhuno> g_0_0: i think the system also crashed when i added my photos to shotwell photo manager
[18:24] <Dr_Willis> jose-neto:  gksudo gedit /media/WHEVERTHETHINGISAT/testfile   and see if you can make/edit a file.
[18:24] <g_0_0> midhuno, how much free disk space do you have?
[18:25] <xgt001> diegosachicaherr: chromium!

[18:42] <genii-around> krabador: wodim -atip
[18:42] <Vustom> Is it fairly simple to upgrade 10.10 to the next version when it comes/

[18:45] <Vustom> time to go install ubuntu then :D!
[18:45] <Screw> hi all!
[18:46] <jose-neto> i still  can t put files on my micro SD
[18:46] <minimec> Cube``: <left>shift after boot screen --> recovery mode --> root console. Sudo apt-get remove gdm. It will probably also remove ubuntu-desktop. You could probably also deactivate the daemon per default.
[18:46] <Dr_Willis> jose-neto:  can you write to the disk as the root user?
[18:46] <minimec> Cube``: GDM is the login manager provided by ubuntu. removing that package removes the login manager.
[18:46] <girly99> yo
[18:47] <jose-neto> how would i do that?
[18:47] <genii-around> krabador: In my case it reports this for instance: http://pastebin.com/Ue7EnzHG  lines 16 onward are media infos
[18:47] <v0lksman> what are the floating notifications in Lucid/Maverick called?
[18:48] <v0lksman> or what program generates them?
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> jose-neto:  that was the whole  point of the 'sudo gedit bla bla bla' thing  from earlier....
[18:48] <jose-neto> oh can you send me it again ?
[18:48] <Dr_Willis> jose-neto:  or see if 'sudo touch /media/WHEVERTHESDCARDISAT/testfile' and see if it makes a file called 'testfile
[18:49] <Screw> I would like to ask a question. I would like to move my ubuntu to another hdd.  Fsarchiver was suggested that I should use. I can reset grub2 which is in mbr.  OK. But Shall I do other things?
[18:49] <krabador> genii-around, i've the media inside, i've the shortcut on desktop "dvd+r blank media", but i havent the last part of your result...
[18:49] <g_0_0> midhuno, the problem may be with your DVD drive, I take it you have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras

[18:56] <Screw> Sorry,  I would like to ask a question. I would like to move my ubuntu to another hdd.  Fsarchiver was suggested that I should use. I can reset grub2 which is in mbr.  OK. But Shall I do other things?
[18:56] <KB1JWQ> Screw: I'd just do it with dd, but to each his or her own...
[18:58] <penalvch> Screw: I've successfully used fsarchiver on ext3 & ext4 to clone & deploy Ubuntu images on my primary partition.

[19:11] <skurakai> Hi. Where i can find multisync-tools for Maverick?
[19:11] <edwardteach> omlet, http://forum.xchat.org/viewtopic.php?t=4784
[19:12] <skurakai> multisync-tools is need for synchronization with Windows Mobile device.
[19:12] <g_0_0> skurakai, sudo apt-get install multisync
[19:13] <skurakai> g_0_0: is it same packages as multisync-tools?
[19:13] <edwardteach> omlet, sorry omlet that not a good link!
[19:13] <g_0_0> skurakai, I think that's the correct package, but there are plugins you may need
[19:14] <karlo94> is there any command with I can play some video but without video (just audio) with vlc?
[19:14] <skurakai> g_0_0: ok. thank you. I try this.

[19:21] <Cube``> is there any way to get 1920x1080 without a graphic card driver?

[19:23] <squirrel> i've just installed kubuntu. i was told there are games like solitare etc, but i can't find it
[19:23] <runningwater> Hi all, im having a weird boot issue. anybody like to take a shot at it?
[19:23] <Cube``> thanks edwardteach
[19:23] <squirrel> where can i find the games?
[19:23] <Encry8> What would be the command to have the command line issue a different filename each time? Like 1st run filename would be file-1, second run would creat another file called file-2, etc?
[19:23] <runningwater> try applications drop down menu at the top of the screen
[19:23] <edwardteach> !partition | Kingsy
[19:24] <hylian> Kingsy, all you should need to do is format  a partition to ext 3 or 4, and then set / as the partitions main folder. I can't think of the proper phrase of what i am trying to say, so hopefully you get my gest.
[19:24] <hacker_> i don't know!
[19:25] <opherix> hi there
[19:25] <edwardteach> !games | squirrel
[19:25] <opherix> is there a command for starting another connection to a server
[19:25] <opherix> with xchat
[19:25] <Kyle__> I've got a software raid5 setup for /home on an headless ubuntu box, and it works, but doesn't come up on boot.  In fact boot hangs with a warning that it cant mount /home, and I have to tell it to skip, then fix it once I'm in.
[19:25] <Kingsy> hylian - this is what I did, format sda1 type ext4 mnt point /home      format sdb1 /boot ext3    format sdb2 swap    format sdb3 ext4 /
[19:25] <Kingsy> hylian - does that look correct?
[19:25] <ApacheOmega> edwardteach: I'm trying to remove this file because it's messing with mysql Config. (I'm trying to remove this file because it's messing with MySql Config. (gforge-db-postgresql: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 100
[19:25] <runningwater> im having a boot problem, getting error msg: try passing init= boot args
 ) How do I fix this???
[19:26] <Kyle__> Anyone know a good way of fixing this sor to fissue?
[19:26] <hylian> Kingsy, the mount point should be /
[19:26] <runningwater> but i can't access the terminal with the livecd!
[19:26] <squirrel> runningwater: there is no application dropdown menu on the top
[19:27] <Kingsy> hylian - for what? i am sure thats right isnt it? I want to use a full sda device for /home. ..
[19:27] <squirrel> edwardteach: i just want to play the built-in games
[19:27] <RishavT> squirrel: there'll be a menu in the bottom left (thats the default in kubuntu). Click on that, and you'll get a search-bar (inside the menu). Search for whatever you want there (like solitare, etc).
[19:27] <hylian> how do i make myself the owner of a drive, and why isn't this automatic, i own the actuall hardware, why shuoldn't i be able to change the files how i see fit? i think this should be the automatic, not to seal my files under protection from myself... right?
[19:28] <hylian> Kingsy, i think your doing something i have personally never tried. if you are just setting up ubuntu normally, the mount point should be /. but it sounds like you are trying something else...
[19:29] <edwardteach> ApacheOmega,  have you seen https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gforge/+bug/222488
[19:29] <RishavT> hylian: your drive should me mounted in /media. open a terminal, cd to /media, and type in "sudo chown -R <your username> <drive_folder_name>". Then you can make changes in yout drive.
[19:29] <squirrel> RishavT: it doesn't find "solitaire" or "games"
[19:30] <birrbert> hi guys. I'm having problem with a screen. I started it and now I don't know how to get rid of it. when I use the -wipe option it stays there. look here: http://pastebin.com/ZBGMWeWf

[19:32] <jimlovell777> Why does everything slow to a crawl on Ubuntu when there are files being transfered or copied (either locally or to external media)? I've experienced the slow downs on several different computers and versions of Ubuntu dating back to Hardy.
[19:32] <Encry8> What would be the command to have the command line issue a different filename each time? Like 1st run filename would be file-1, second run would creat another file called file-2, etc?

[19:32] <iceroot> jimlovell777: iowait
[19:33] <iceroot> jimlovell777: in "top" the value for "wa" should be very high
[19:33] <Kyle__> jimlovell777: That has more to do with filesystems, overall system bandwidth, etc.
[19:33] <friese> hi
[19:33] <squirrel> how do i open up a console in kubuntu?
[19:33] <RishavT> squirrel: I just googled a bit, and apparently default games dont come with kubuntu due to lack of space on the cd. Try searching for Klondike, Spider, Breakout, Sudoku etc. in kpackagekit. they might come up. Just install them.
[19:33] <iceroot> squirrel: alt + f2, then type gnome-terminal
[19:33] <thorbj0rn> jimlovell777: get yourself a SolidStateDrive for your OS.. slowdowns become a thing of the past
[19:33] <Kyle__> mdadm raid5, doesn't come up on boot.  Help?  Anyone?
[19:34] <hylian> Kingsy, hmm, well, exactly what are you trying to do, I may be able to answer your question. sometimes it's the simplest things like using chown to give me permissions to a  drive, which i assumed was just for files :(
[19:34] <RishavT> squirrel: Its called konsole. should come up in the menu. or press alt+f2 and then type in "konsole"
[19:34] <edwardteach> Encry8,  try the #bash channel  or youtube tuts  ! www.youtube.com/user/metalx1000
[19:34] <squirrel> RishavT: thanks :)
[19:34] <iceroot> RishavT: squirrel "konsole" is part of kubuntu/kde
[19:35] <runningwater> can anyone help me with my boot problem please?
[19:35] <RishavT> squrrel: no prob :)
[19:35] <eXpLoD> this shows how smart ubuntu is:I was trying to unpack something,and the unpacked output will fill 1 gb more than my hdd can handle,so it automatically stoppped the unpacking and removed what was unpacked.smart huh?
[19:35] <hylian> anyone know where the trashcan folder resides?
[19:35] <RishavT> iceroot: yea :)
[19:35] <rstacruz> hi, help, I used gpointing-device-settings and now my touchpad is screwed up and wont tap-to-click. how can i fix this?
[19:35] <greppy> birrbert: you could do a screen -dR to reattach it and then exit out of whatever it is running and then exit out of the shell, if there is one left.
[19:35] <jimlovell777> iceroot: 47.6%wa
[19:36] <iceroot> jimlovell777: so the cpu is waiting 50% of the whole time for the hard drive and is doing nothing instead of waiting
[19:36] <Coffeholikas> QUESTION: why Jhbuild wont start?
[19:37] <hylian> rstacruz, this website tells how to reactivate tap to click, hopefully it can be of some help: http://who-t.blogspot.com/2010/05/how-to-enable-tapping-tap-to-click-on.html
[19:37] <rstacruz> thanks hylian, i'll have a look.
[19:37] <birrbert> greppy, thanks a lot mate. I did it. that screen was just another console and it confused me
[19:37] <rstacruz> hm actually i've done that
[19:38]  * hylian is listening to stone temple pilot's plush on classic rock 1818.fm http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=301250
[19:38] <rstacruz> i think the problem is that the sensitivity is too.. sensitive
[19:38] <runningwater> can anyone help me with a weird boot issue thanks?
[19:38] <hylian> rstacruz, so then you get a lot of clicks?
[19:38] <jimlovell777> iceroot: This displeases me. lol. I don't understand though, seems like there shouldn't be a slowdown, I understand the OS having to wait for the HD to catch up but why choke the system in the meantime? What fundamental concept am I missing?
[19:38] <rstacruz> hylian: err, the opposite actually, it's very hard to trigger a tap-to-click
[19:38] <hylian> runningwater, can you be way more specific? sorry, need more info :)
[19:38] <rstacruz> i suppose it's too insensitive then hehe
[19:39] <Metroshica> @hylian The trash folder is in ~/.local/share/Trash
[19:39] <hylian> Metroshica, thanks!
[19:39] <iceroot> jimlovell777: the os cant do any furhter steps if the informations are missing and the informations are coming from the harddrive
[19:40] <runningwater> hylian: thanks, ubuntu 1.04 wont boot. getting this error msg: "try passing init= bootarg" and going to busybox ash shell. ive read the forums but this is slightly different.
[19:40] <iceroot> jimlovell777: you can use "ionice" to reduce the priority of the process, so the scheduler can give more cpu time to other processes
[19:40] <mbeierl> jimlovell777: it also attempts to trade off applications in memory for hard drive cache.  you can reduce some of that with vm swappiness
[19:40] <jimlovell777> iceroot: Ah, just clicked. If it's busy transferring data the OS is stalled waiting to load code it needs to run? Half accurate?
[19:40] <hylian> rstacruz, i'm gonna take a look around, never had this problem with my acer...
[19:40] <iceroot> jimlovell777: its not directly the code of the os
[19:41] <runningwater> hylian: im using a bootable usb stick at the minute with the hd removed. i can't run ubuntu from the stick when the hd is in.
[19:41] <Cube``> how can i get ubuntu to use a 16:9 resolution without a video driver? my monitor is 1920x1080 but the resolution can be a multiple of that, i just want the aspect ratio right. what do i have to change in the xorg.conf? just adding the modes line doesnt work
[19:41] <axisys> anyone know of a good random password generator that generates pronounceable password or easy to remember and hard to guess password ?
[19:41] <jimlovell777> iceroot: Right but code for Firefox, Totem, etc.?
[19:41] <rstacruz> hylian: i think i solved the problem.. i disabled "palm detection" in gpointing-device-settings
[19:41] <rstacruz> hylian: my finger was too small to trigger a tap-to-click, it was filtered out by the palm detection algorithm i suppose :)
[19:42] <l_noob> hello. i am get some help with an install
[19:42] <hylian> rstacruz, that's awesome, and I have learned something new, good to know.
[19:42] <iceroot> jimlovell777: no. if you tell your system to copy 50GB to another pc and the prioritiy is normal and you have another process running e.g. watching a video on youtube and the prio is also normal, then both processes are at the same prioritylevel for the scheduler. your harddrive isnt fast enought but the scheduler is giving the process 50% of the time, the other 50% goes to your flash,video
[19:43] <hylian> runningwater, i have had the same problem, for some reason ubuntu won't boot from usb sticks when installed, instead of live usb'd.
[19:43] <hylian> runningwater, i know there is a way, let me see what i can dig up...
[19:43] <iceroot> jimlovell777: it doesnt matter if your system can copy 1MB/s or 100MB/s, the scheduler is giving 50% of the cpu-time to the copy-process
[19:43] <greppy> axisys: I'd take a look at either http://pwsafe.org or apt-get install makepasswd, or both.
[19:43] <Cube``> how can i get ubuntu to use a 16:9 resolution without a video driver? my monitor is 1920x1080 but the resolution can be a multiple of that, i just want the aspect ratio right. what do i have to change in the xorg.conf? just adding the modes line doesnt work
[19:43] <edwardteach> axisys, sounds like everyone’s dream password app   i dont think it exists though.
[19:44] <iceroot> jimlovell777: and most of the 50% are waitint-time for the harddrive (in top its called (wa)it)
[19:44] <jimlovell777> iceroot: Ah, ok. Makes sense. I knew I was missing something, just didn't know what it was.
[19:44] <iceroot> jimlovell777: have a look at "man ionice"
[19:44] <iceroot> jimlovell777: very usefull for that kind of "problem"
[19:44] <hylian> anyone know of how to install a linux distro to usb, not LIVE, actually installed? thanks!
[19:44]  * psichas is away: Neriukas užsiemes, laužia NASA  :-D
[19:45] <runningwater> hylian: really appreciate your time and effort. thanks. if i burn a ubuntu 1.04 cd image could i follow the instructions in similar threads in the help section?
[19:45] <rstacruz> hylian: by distro, did you mean ubuntu?
[19:45] <edwardteach> !ask | l_noob
[19:45] <hylian> runningwater, twice you said 1.04, you meant 10.04, right?
[19:45] <Roasted> Has anybody set up radius w/ Zentyal before on Ubuntu? I'm having some difficulty getting WPA/TKIP Radius to work in my test environment and I think it's a user account error but I can't seem to troubleshoot it any further.
[19:45] <v0lksman> is there a sip notification applet?
[19:45] <genjix> so many hard questions :p
[19:45] <runningwater> hylian: my mistake yes 10.04!
[19:46] <hylian> if there is a ubuntu 1.04, i would vbox it just to see what it was like... :)
[19:46] <rstacruz> hylian: if so, i would imagine it's just the same procedure as installing to another disk.
[19:46] <SiilvE> How do i acces my usb drives in windows7 in virtualbox?
[19:46] <RishavT> hylian: you'll need 2 usb drives, or a cd and a USB. boot from one USB (or cd). And select install. while installing, just format the USB as ext4, and mount as /. Also, be sure to install the bootloader on the USB (for eg sdb. NOT the HDD of the computer. that'll screw up grub in the computer).
[19:46] <Kingsy> ok I really need some help with two things.. can soemone spare a moment?
[19:47] <edwardteach> !usb | hylian
[19:47] <iceroot> SiilvE: #vbox (also use the nonfree-version, the free version is not supporting usb)
[19:47] <krycek> how can you install windows 7 if you got ubuntu allready installed
[19:47] <Kingsy> kinda been on for a horrible amount of time here
[19:47] <delinquentme> !ask | Kingsy
[19:47] <sbrath> I'm having an issue loading Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit onto a new HP DL165 G7 with the "non-raid" card.   So I'm configuring the install to build a md0 for /boot as a RAID1, and a md1 as a LVM host for swap and root.    After the install it fails to boot? a cat /proc/mdstat then only shows md1   no md0   Is this a install issue?
[19:47] <SiilvE> Do i have to buy it to be able to use usb drives in vbox?
[19:48] <krycek> any one ?
[19:48] <Metroshica> @SiilvE Yes
[19:48] <krycek> how can you install windows 7 if you got ubuntu allready installed
[19:48] <edwardteach> !usb | hylian
[19:48] <iceroot> SiilvE: no its still free (as in free beer)
[19:48] <hylian> edwardteach, is that an actual install, or a live cd from iso version, we are looking to actually install ubuntu.
[19:48] <Metroshica> @ SiilvE However, you may want to try vmware server, it's free as well, and may support usb, I'm not sure
[19:48] <iceroot> SiilvE: its just not open-source
[19:48] <Kingsy> delinquentme - ok, well the first is manual partitioning on ubuntu.. I have sda and sdb   I want to use sda as /home and sdb as /   /boot and swap    I have tried 4 times (4 install attempts) and each time I get a grub rescue prompt on boot
[19:49] <krycek> how can you install windows 7 if you got ubuntu allready installed
[19:49] <genjix> How can I stop SSH starting on startup? I ran sudo update-rc.d -f ssh remove, ... no error messages but SSH still starts up on the next bootup.
[19:49] <genjix> How can I stop SSH starting on startup? I ran sudo update-rc.d -f ssh remove, ... no error messages but SSH still starts up on the next bootup.
[19:49] <schnuffle> SiilvE: vmware server is discontniued
[19:49] <genjix> oops
[19:49] <FloodBot2> genjix: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:49] <runningwater> hylian: you mean a bootable usb stick with ubuntu install? i know how to on windows but not on linux
[19:49] <hylian> runningwater did you see the post from RishavT ?
[19:49] <iceroot> SiilvE: just download VirtualBox from there website as an ubuntu-package or use the repo at ther website. you dont have to pay money and can use usb
[19:49] <genjix> this channel is a warzone :D
[19:50] <SiilvE> i did iceroot but it doesnt work
[19:50] <iceroot> SiilvE: then have a look at the vbox-channel at #vbox
[19:50] <Kingsy> I could just do a standard erase/install but that means I wouldnt have sda as /home which would be nice
[19:50] <genjix> the virtualbox from their site runs faster than the ubuntu version
[19:50] <iceroot> SiilvE: i think its a better place for vbox-support
[19:50] <edwardteach> hylian,  can you not treat it like a hard drive ive put ext4 on one before !
[19:50] <hylian> runningwater, are you trying to just install the live cd version, or are you trying to actually install the full os permanently like on your hard drive?
[19:50] <runningwater> hylian: ah sorry i see it now
[19:50] <Kingsy> could someone offer some advice on how I cuold do this?
[19:50] <greppy> SiilvE: make sure you are in the vboxusers group and that you add a filter for the usb device you want it to use.
[19:51] <genjix> Kingsy: i just do / and swap :)
[19:51] <hylian> RishavT, thanx man!
[19:51] <runningwater> hylian: im trying to recover a previous permanent install
[19:51] <Kingsy> genjix - what do you mean?
[19:51] <RishavT> hylian: no prob dude :)
[19:51] <genjix> no need to have a separate home partition really
[19:51] <hylian> runningwater, to your usb, or to your hard drive..??
[19:51] <genjix> if your install goes wrong then you can boot a livecd, backup and reinstall
[19:51] <Kingsy> genjix - I know there is no need but for my circumstance it would be very useful
[19:52] <genjix> what're you trying to do? I missed it?
[19:52] <llutz> Kingsy: just use "manual partition layout" when installing
[19:52] <genjix> >> How can I stop SSH starting on startup? I ran sudo update-rc.d -f ssh remove, ... no error messages but SSH still starts up on the next bootup.
[19:53] <llutz> genjix: use sysv-rc-conf
[19:53] <iceroot> genjix: there is always a reason to have an extra home-partition
[19:53] <genjix> thanks llutz
[19:53] <hylian> Kingsy, also, just to keep in mind, if you have more than one drive, especially if you have a mix of drive types, like sata and ide, you will want to use manual and watch where ubuntu wants to put it, because ubuntu likes to put grub on the wrong drive.
[19:53] <genjix> iceroot: like?
[19:53] <edwardteach> Kingsy,  you should only need 5 gig max for /
[19:53] <genjix> you should be backing up valuable data anyway, but otherwise it's useless
[19:54] <Kingsy> genjix - you tell me is this correct          sda1 ext4 format /home      sdb1 ext3 format /boot        sdb5 format swap     sdb6 ext4 format /   Bootloader:Device for bootloader installation    /dev/sdb
[19:54] <iceroot> genjix: you can mount /home on other systems/live-cds directly, if your system breaks you just have to reinstall and mount /home again and so on
[19:54] <hylian> runningwater, did you see my question?
[19:54] <filips> buonasera
[19:54] <Pici> !it | filips
[19:54] <llutz> Kingsy: no need for extra /boot in most cases
[19:54] <genjix> Kingsy: no, it formats your home
[19:54] <hylian> i love ubottu
[19:55] <filips> io non so' manco ke robba eeeee
[19:55] <filips> hhahaah
[19:55] <genjix> iceroot: no you don't. You can easily mount / on a livecd too...
[19:55] <genjix> backup/reinstall
[19:55] <runningwater> hylian: sorry for the confusion. i was successfully running ubuntu from my laptop (normal hard drive) it now won't boot. im currently running a bootable usb version of 10.04 as my OS.
[19:55] <hylian> ubottu | i love you
[19:55] <genjix> which happens once every bluemoon
[19:55] <iceroot> genjix: but i only want /home and not complete /
[19:55] <genjix> why?
[19:55] <iceroot> genjix: its just a cleaner setup
[19:55] <lazarus_> From February 15 you will need to be a subscriber to listen to Last.fm Radio stations on devices, including your Last.fm Android app.
[19:55] <Pici> hylian: Please don't play with ubottu here.  Either use a pm or use #ubuntu-bots
[19:55] <g33k> hi
[19:55] <Kingsy> genjix - I don't need a backup.. this is a clean install
[19:55] <genjix> umm
[19:56] <Cube``> lazarus_: for $$$?
[19:56] <genjix> Kingsy: ok then it looks fine. you dont really need /boot
[19:56] <iceroot> genjix: and if you want to transer the home-partition to another system, have fun with dd if home is mounted on / :)
[19:56] <lazarus_> Cube``: yea
[19:56] <genjix> (if your system breaks are you really going to use a grub prompt to fix your system?)
[19:56] <lazarus_> Cube``: i got an email
[19:56] <Kingsy> genjix - ok, and I am right in saying  bootloader installation would be /dev/sdb    ?
[19:56] <llutz> iceroot: dd is definetly the wrong tool to transfer
[19:56] <Metroshica> !po | metroshica
[19:56] <genjix> iceroot: why the hell would you use dd??? lol!
[19:57] <iceroot> llutz: depending on the needs
[19:57] <llutz> iceroot: no
[19:57] <iceroot> llutz: sure
[19:57] <Kingsy> genjix - no, I would never use grub rescue I am just trying to boot the system
[19:57] <genjix> cp -a * mynewfolder/
[19:57] <sbrath> is it possible that the 10.04 installer can't properly configure raid1 for /boot.... Or am I just not hitting my head against the wall hard enough?
[19:57] <hylian> runningwater, i see. you are trying to save the current install. any error messages? can it boot somewhat? because then you can control alt f1 to get a terminal, and perhaps we could change a config or uninstall a troubled package?>
[19:57] <genjix> Kingsy: well you don't need /boot but it doesn't harm either.
[19:57] <Cube``> lazarus_: crazy. shouldnt be heading that way
[19:57] <genjix> also i recently ran out of space on / which is why i no longer use a /home
[19:57] <genjix> i recommend using 20 GB for /
[19:58] <hylian> Pici, sorry man, i just love how helpfull the bot is here, they have done a fine job with him/it.
[19:58] <genjix> (my old one was 10 GB... ubuntu says that's enough but that's a lie)
[19:58] <sulumar> Hi guys
[19:58] <sulumar> does anyone of you know a way to check if a certain removable media is connected or not in a bashscript ??
[19:58] <edwardteach> !raid | sbrath,
[19:58] <Kingsy> genjix - well if you you are saying is true then it doesnt work.. I have done that 5 times
[19:58] <rumpe1> sulumar, hmm... can /proc/mounts for the UUID
[19:58] <Kingsy> apart from I had a /boot partition
[19:58] <genjix> sulumar: you can check for it's device
[19:58] <rumpe1> sulumar, s/can/scan/
[19:58] <jrib> sulumar: #bash would be a good place to ask for best practices
[19:59]  * hylian apologizes for messing with ubottu
[19:59] <sulumar> bash send me here
[19:59] <rumpe1> jrib, lol
[19:59] <jrib> sulumar: heh
[19:59] <genjix> Kingsy: dont what 5 times? that setup?
[19:59] <genjix> how big is your hard drive?
[19:59] <Kingsy> genjix - yup
[19:59] <Kingsy> trying it again now
[19:59] <genjix> tell me you hd size?
[19:59] <Kingsy> genjix - sdb is 16GB sda 4GB
[19:59] <Kingsy> so sda /home would be 4GB
[20:00] <genjix> ok do this
[20:00] <Kingsy> sdb root would be about 15GB
[20:00] <iceroot> genjix: another reason, you have a very fast hd (maybe ssd) and a very large harddrive 1tb but its slow... fast ssd for /, slow hdd for /home to have your movies and so on
[20:00] <runningwater> hylian: the error msg is: try passing init=bootarg. it goes to busyBox ash shell. from playing around at that prompt i observed it can't access /etc/fstab and /root/dev/console/. i don't know where they are corrupted or BusyBos shell can't access those files due to permissions.
[20:00] <jrib> rumpe1, sulumar: personally, I'd parse /etc/mtab or the output of « mount » but there could be a better way
[20:00] <genjix> Kingsy: 2 GB swap on sdb, remaining 14 GB / ... sda = /home. install bootloader to sdb
[20:01] <Kingsy> genjix - done that.. it doesnt work
[20:01] <hylian> runningwater, it sounds like grub is seriously messed up, let me do some digging. can you sudo su or su to gain root priveleges?
[20:01] <genjix> iceroot: that's not a partition though.
[20:01] <genjix> im arguing paritioning your main hd into / and /home is retarded.
[20:01] <iceroot> genjix: no
[20:01] <genjix> (unless you have a good reason to)
[20:01] <mkanyicy> iceroot: how fast is the ssd?
[20:01] <Kingsy> genjix - perhaps it was cos I had a /boot partition could that cause it to fail?
[20:01] <iceroot> mkanyicy: faster then the hd
[20:01] <runningwater> hylian: no sudo or root :(. the help in that shell lists the cmds. there are not many :(
[20:02] <genjix> Kingsy: how did it fail?
[20:02] <mkanyicy> iceroot: how much, double?
[20:02] <jrib> sulumar: I just discovered the « mountpoint » command which seems to be available on my system.  Depending on how portable you need your script to be, you may want to look into it
[20:02] <iceroot> mkanyicy: reread my post, its an example
[20:02] <Kingsy> genjix - when I booted up it said it couldnt find grub then gave me a grub rescue prompt
[20:02] <Kingsy> genjix - 5 times in a row
[20:02] <mkanyicy> iceroot: ok
[20:02] <Kingsy> installation went without a problem up until then
[20:02] <llutz> genjix: the bootloader (grub) is to be installed into the MBR, so /dev/sda in Kingsys case. wth should it be written to sdb?
[20:02] <pit> !list
[20:03] <genjix> Kingsy: ok do this then. im not sure how to do it in the ubuntu installer then mark the / parittion as bootable
[20:03] <iceroot> genjix: e.g. you cant kill your system because home is running full. e.g. on a server you copy large files into your /home. then / is full too
[20:03] <genjix> and install the bootloader to that / partition.
[20:03] <hylian> runningwater, still researching your problem, this looks to be specifically a 10.04 problem, ugh, sorry man. ill see if i can find a solution, brb
[20:03] <iceroot> genjix: its just a good and clean way to have a seperate home
[20:03] <jrib> sulumar: there's some discussion here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/479226/how-to-test-if-a-given-path-is-a-mount-point
[20:03] <Kingsy> oh, llutz is that right? I should install bootloader to sda and not make a /boot partition?
[20:03] <sulumar> mount | grep /media/Backup could infact work
[20:03] <b0ot> Has anyone gotten atftpd to work?
[20:04] <genjix> iceroot: well this is the 3rd time that I've put / at the ubuntu recommended size + some more
[20:04] <llutz> Kingsy: writing grub into sdb or a partition is nonsense.
[20:04] <runningwater> hylian: i could download and burn a live cd. upgrading to the latest version is also doable.
[20:04] <Kingsy> llutz - ok let me try that
[20:04] <genjix> than ended up running out of space while having a huge ~
[20:04] <llutz> Kingsy: the PC BIOS searches the 1st sector of the 1st HDD in system for a bootloader, thats /dev/sda
[20:05] <runningwater> hylian: thanks again for the time and effort. i realise how annoying this issue is due to all the possible variant causes.
[20:05] <nadeiz> hola a todos
[20:05] <jrib> sulumar: there are some "gotchas" in that stackoverflow thread about parsing mtab.  Can I offer a kludge: create a file like ".sulumariscool" in the removable media, then just test if that exists
[20:05] <genjix> Kingsy: oh yeah you need to change your BIOS to boot sdb first
[20:05] <genjix> as llutz says
[20:05] <llutz> genjix: thats stupid
[20:05] <mkanyicy> Kingsy: personally I recommend NOT to make a separate /boot partition
[20:05] <heyguise> So I have this giant dir with to many files and its crashing nautilus. I can access the files by going to terminal. What can i do here?
[20:05] <h00k> !es | nadeiz
[20:05] <Kingsy> llutz - can I use sdb for swap ?
[20:05] <genjix> reboot and hit F2 or Del then change the boot order
[20:05] <llutz> Kingsy: sure
[20:05] <hylian> runningwater, ok, i found this tip to try "I ran a live CD, opened terminal, and typed in "sudo fsck /dev/sda7" (where my ubuntu partition was located)". i hate to say it, but in about 50% of the cases of this bug, it was a hard drive with bad sectors, in otherwords, on it's deathbed. let's hope not
[20:05] <Kingsy> mkanyicy - yup i read ya
[20:05] <genjix> so that sdb is first
[20:05] <sulumar> thats an idea
[20:05] <Kingsy> llutz - ok np :0
[20:05] <genjix> llutz: why is it bad?
[20:05] <Kingsy> :)*
[20:06] <erUSUL> heyguise: you can do whatever you want in terminal
[20:06] <llutz> genjix: it makes no sense at all. why should one change the BIOS just for booting, when writing grub into sda works fine?
[20:06] <minimec> genjix: I don't know what you are doing wrong ;) But please stop yelling nonsence...
[20:06] <genjix> llutz: he's already installed
[20:06] <iceroot> genjix: and here is the best. encryption :) you dont want to encrypt / if the important data is only on /home because its making the system slow
[20:06] <heyguise> erUSUL, i made a directory in it. Is there a way i can move alot of files at once?
[20:06] <runningwater> hylian: a dying hd is a possibility :( i will try that advice. thank you.
[20:07] <iceroot> genjix: so you have one encrypted partition called /home
[20:07] <hylian> runningwater, this has more information on that tip i found: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9411005&postcount=2
[20:07] <RishavT> heyguise: for a terminal file-browser, try midnight commander (package name: 'mc'). type in "sudo apt-get install mc" and once that's done run it.
[20:07] <genjix> iceroot: ok encryption is one reason I can accept. Make a separate ~ if you encrypt, otherwise it's pointless.
[20:07] <erUSUL> heyguise: it depends if the files have common patterns in the filename or other atributes
[20:07] <llutz> genjix: we're talking about Kingsy  who wants to install? so what is "already installed"?
[20:07] <genjix> llutz: he said he's already installed 5 times
[20:07] <iceroot> genjix: i guess we stop this discussion, its pointless to show you the advantages
[20:07] <genjix> he's now at the partitioning prompt but hasn't continued
[20:08] <spiku> i have question
[20:08] <erUSUL> heyguise: for example to move all jpeg files « mv *.jpeg directory/ »
[20:08] <mkanyicy> lol
[20:08] <Kingsy> ok another thing, I have samba setup on my ubuntu machine and i have shared a folder but for some reason i am unable to see it on my windows machines.. anyone got experience with this?
[20:08] <spiku> anybody help me?
[20:08] <llutz> genjix: so nothing is installed right now. stop talking nonsense please
[20:08] <hylian> well i had my questions answered, and I answered a few myself, see you guys again sometime!
[20:08] <heyguise> yeah there numbered by date.
[20:08] <hylian> ubottu | bye
[20:08] <genjix> llutz: he hasn't wiped his hard drive
[20:08] <mkanyicy> Kingsy: the workgroup should match, sometimes
[20:08] <RishavT> spiku: just ask the question.
[20:09] <Kingsy> mkanyicy - is that in smb.conf?
[20:09] <erUSUL> heyguise: well use globs/wildcards to move them.
[20:09] <spiku> anybody from poland with good knowledge about ubuntu network managing?
[20:09] <schnuffle> genjix: my guess people that know what they are doimg will ctreate partitions for /usr /var /home /boot /swap, people that are not common with a unix system should just use /swap /
[20:09] <b0ot> Are there better options for a tftp server than atftp?
[20:09] <erUSUL> heyguise: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/glob
[20:09] <erUSUL> !pl | spiku
[20:09] <erUSUL> !ftpd | b0ot or use sftp (ssh ) already
[20:10] <genjix> schnuffle: not everyone cares enough to do that.
[20:10] <genjix> otherwise I'd be using arch/gentoo
[20:10] <b0ot> erUSUL, I need a tftp server to backup my cisco router configs
[20:10] <genjix> but I use ubuntu because I want to be up and running fast with minimal effort.
[20:10] <runningwater> hylian: thanks for the thread. oh i just remembered a really odd thing. i tried to install windows 7 on the hd via a dvd and the "try passing init=boot arg" message still came up (correct boot options).  maybe thats nothing more than an interesting bug though.
[20:10] <b0ot> !tftp
[20:11] <b0ot> !tftpd
[20:11] <erUSUL> b0ot: ahh you need a *tiny* ftp server ....
[20:11] <schnuffle> genjix: that was what I said. I care on my servers and there are a lot of reason why you want them seperate ( mounting noexec for example )
[20:11] <erUSUL> !find tftpd
[20:11] <Kingsy> mkanyicy - ok I have made sure the WORKGROUP matches the windows machine that is looking for it and I restarted samba.. still no luck
[20:11] <b0ot> erUSUL, correct :). I tried using atftpd and my router says it transfers but the config never makes it to the folder
[20:11] <genjix> schnuffle: yep.
[20:12] <erUSUL> b0ot: try tftpd ot tftpd-hpa
[20:12] <mkanyicy> pastebin your smb.conf
[20:12] <mkanyicy> Kingsy: pastebin your smb.conf
[20:12] <genjix> also to have var customised for databases
[20:12] <Kingsy> okie dokie.. 1 sec
[20:12] <genjix> (can't remember if you want small/large node size)
[20:12] <erUSUL> heyguise: making progress ?
[20:12] <IShadowed> how do I disconnect from a wireless network on ubuntu? The image in the upper right hand corner isn't visible at the moment
[20:12] <Kingsy> mkanyicy - hmm is wgetpaste in the ubuntu repos?
[20:12] <genjix> and maybe ext2 on var but ext4 on ~
[20:13] <schnuffle> genjix: and using LVM helps you to allocate dynamicly
[20:13] <heyguise> erUSUL, sec
[20:13] <erUSUL> IShadowed: sudo ifconfig wlan0 down
[20:13] <jrib> Kingsy: pastebinit is
[20:13] <IShadowed> erUSUL: and then how do I reconnect?
[20:13] <Kingsy> thanks
[20:14] <erUSUL> IShadowed: why not recover NM gui? run « nm-applet »
[20:14] <IShadowed> er
[20:14] <IShadowed> what?
[20:14] <IShadowed> No idea what you just said
[20:14] <IShadowed> But ok'
[20:14] <genjix> ok fun chatting. my backup finished. cya
[20:14] <erUSUL> IShadowed: NM is the program that provides the network icon
[20:14] <IShadowed> oh
[20:15] <Vasev4o> hello dear ubuntu community!
[20:15] <Kingsy> ah ffs.. why does sudo pastebinit cat /etc/samba/smb.conf say "unable to read from cat" ?
[20:15] <heyguise> ohh wow
[20:15] <heyguise> okay
[20:15] <heyguise> yeah
[20:15] <heyguise> bam
[20:15] <lwizardl> anyone here know much about 5th gen ipods and ubuntu ?
[20:15] <FloodBot2> heyguise: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[20:15] <heyguise> thanks
[20:15] <llutz> Kingsy: pastebinit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[20:15] <erUSUL> Kingsy: pastebinit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[20:16] <erUSUL> Kingsy: or if you insist in the uuoc « cat /etc/samba/smb.conf | pastebinit »
[20:16] <Kingsy> ah.. heh sorry
[20:16] <Vasev4o> i have big problems with lubuntu - my HDD doesn't work well after installing it :(
[20:17] <RishavT> lwizardl: I'm not sure about which gen's currently going on, but most ipods/iphones/ipod touches work out of the box. just plug-in and open up rhythmbox, where you can add/remove media.
[20:17] <runningwater> hylian: thanks for all the help and info. im going to go and try that now. i'll report back later.
[20:17] <Encry8> What would be the command to have the command line issue a different filename each time? Like 1st run filename would be file-1, second run would creat another file called file-2, etc?

[20:20] <jA_cOp> I added a .desktop file for Eclipse (as I got it from their website) and installed the icon that came with it to /usr/share/pixmaps, the desktop file is working; gnome-do finds and is able to launch eclipse and displays the icon, but the app icon in the Unity sidebar is the "no icon found" icon. How do I make unity use the eclipse icon?
[20:20] <Encry8> erUSUL: ummm I dont do bash scripting, anything easier out there?
[20:21] <erUSUL> Encry8: what are you trying to do ?
[20:21] <erUSUL> Encry8: you can replace echo whith whichever commands you have in mind but wthout knowing what you wat to do i can not help much
[20:21] <Encry8> run a command to record a video
[20:21] <Encry8> from wget
[20:21] <RishavT> lwizardl: try usinf ifuse + gtkpod. install them from synaptic. then create a directory in your home folder (lets sar ~/iPod) where you're gonna mount ur ipod. then type in "ifuse ~/iPod" in terminal. then open up gtkpod. If it recognizes, you can use gtkpod to add/remove/sync media.
[20:22] <Yadira> Hi,i got a option in context menu that says Create Document--but i have no templates installed,,what package do i need to install to have this context manu usefull for me
[20:22] <jrib> Yadira: I think you just create things in ~/Templates (let me check)
[20:22] <erUSUL> Encry8: still in the dark ... how can you recover a video from wget?
[20:22] <Encry8> ill pastebin it hang on erUSUL
[20:22] <hk4l> Anyone here can help me with grub2?
[20:22] <RishavT> lwizardl: your ipod needs to be connected via USB. (that was obvious, but still. just in case.) No other iPod should be connected.
[20:23] <jrib> Yadira: yeah, just create files in ~/Templates
[20:23] <Yadira> jrib, what u mean create files ?
[20:23] <Encry8> erUSUL: http://paste.ubuntu.com/564064/  I need this to run every hour
[20:24] <Kingsy> anyone in here good with samba? I have shared a folder on my ubuntu machine but I cant see it from windows
[20:24] <jrib> Yadira: put an empty file in there (or not empty if you prefer).  For example, put an empty openoffice document there
[20:24] <erUSUL> Encry8: each time with a different filename  in -O ?
[20:24] <Kingsy> if I start run -> the ip address of my ubuntu machine I get a login but the username/password for my machine doesnt work.. so i cant get in
[20:24] <Yadira> jrib, thanks a lot pal,one more question,,,qhere is this folder located,is it the one in home or in system ?
[20:25] <Encry8> erUSUL: yeah i need it to create a new and different file
[20:25] <Encry8> erUSUL: reason being, it stops after 1 gig or so, for some reason, it never used to do that
[20:25] <erUSUL> Encry8: wget will number the files for you if you do not specify the filename output
[20:25] <jrib> Yadira: ~/Templates means /home/username/Templates.  There may also be some system-wide one I'm not aware of
[20:25] <schnuffle> Encry8: use a timestamp for the name like -O file-$(date).flv
[20:25] <hk4l> Kin	g
[20:25] <hk4l> Kingsy: you try no user and no pass?
[20:26] <Encry8> schnuffle: ok thanks ill give that a whirl
[20:26] <Kingsy> hk4l - umm no 1 second let me try that :)
[20:26] <erUSUL> Encry8: or try schnuffle suggestion with date ( date has many formatting options )
[20:26] <schnuffle> Encry8: but first you'll have to format the date
[20:26] <Encry8> erUSUL: thanks to you too, and LjL you too :)

[20:29] <Kingsy> anyone have any other ideas?
[20:29] <erUSUL> lazarus_: gpg -c file.tgz
[20:29] <lazarus_> erUSUL: ta
[20:29] <hk4l> Kingsy: edit your .conf file to allow guests
[20:30] <Kingsy> hk4l - http://pastebin.com/5jgw8eqX <-- that is my conf file
[20:30] <Kingsy> hk4l - line 240
[20:32] <CoolHandLouis> Where does one go to get newbie help with ubuntu?
[20:32] <KB1JWQ> CoolHandLouis: Here, among other places.
[20:32] <Omega> CoolHandLouis: Do you have a question?
[20:32] <CoolHandLouis> Yes thanks...

[20:32] <KB1JWQ> CoolHandLouis: Can you ping external sites?
[20:33] <KB1JWQ> CoolHandLouis: Both by IP and by DNS entry?
[20:33] <CoolHandLouis> I'll try
[20:33] <CoolHandLouis> ...
[20:33] <Omega> open a terminal and type "ping ubuntu.com"
[20:33] <trond-> anyone running maverick with kernel .37 or .36? I am running with .35, but the screen flickers (E4310) (sigh)
[20:33]  * KB1JWQ bets it's either DNS or routing / ip assignment. :-)
[20:34]  * jrib bets firewall
[20:34] <BluesKaj> Comodo Firewall anyone ?
[20:34] <ibrahim_> hi i am programming with c what command in terminal which finds the errors in the code and executes the output??
[20:34] <mbeierl> trond-: I'm running .36 from kernel ppa on maverick so that I can use my intel card.  The only problem I have is that iPhone tethering stopped working in .36 from the ppa
[20:34] <erUSUL> ibrahim_: why not use an ide?
[20:34] <erUSUL> ibrahim_: like anjuta?
[20:34] <jrib> ibrahim_: that question is really strange but if you're asking about a debugger, try gdb
[20:34] <YankDownUnder> Komodo Firewall?
[20:35] <trond-> mbeierl, don't have an iphone, so I can live with that. How did you upgrade kernel til .36? (or is it in synaptic/apt-get)
[20:35] <CoolHandLouis> KB1JWQ - I get "unknown host google.com" and "Network is unreachable" when pinging google's ip <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:35] <hercury> trond-: .38 here
[20:35] <hk4l> Kingsy: this should help you http://www.debuntu.org/guest-file-sharing-with-samba
[20:35] <mbeierl> trond-: I had to go to the kernel ppa site, and download the .deb files and use dpkg to install them manually
[20:36] <i7-Cud4> Hi im gotten little stuck on grub config, im installed win7/ubuntu/bt4 on my ocz revodrive in raid0, heres a line out from oot info script. http://pastebin.com/kHxS3HDJ i tried to add this http://pastebin.com/cj2a4Xnz to /etc/grub.d/40_custom. but im missing something, i just lack the experience in grub to understand what, if some one could take i look. It would be awesome
[20:36] <BluesKaj> YankDownUnder, yeah his windows fw
[20:36] <hercury> trond-: got mine from xorg edgers PPA
[20:36] <trond-> mbeierl, ok... not something I'll be doing on the bus. (but later)
[20:36] <ibrahim_> ok
[20:36] <Rishav-T> mbeierl: iPhone tethering: USB? via PdaNet?
[20:36] <trond-> hercury, ok! thanks. I'll look into it.
[20:36] <YankDownUnder> BluesKaj, I'm just waking up - I know it's a MS Windows firewall - why are we talking about it here?
[20:36] <mbeierl> trond-: Here's the link I got it from: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.36-maverick/
[20:37] <trond-> thanks mbeierl  :)
[20:37] <Kingsy> hk4l - by you referencing my to that link can you see why my smb.conf is not working?
[20:37] <KB1JWQ> CoolHandLouis: So it's a problem with your virtualization setup's networking.
[20:37] <Kingsy> hk4l - because I don't really want to have a no user/pass login on this share
[20:37] <mbeierl> Rishav-T: iPhone tethering over USB with ipheth.  Works using the stock kernel, but maverick with .36 does not
[20:37] <Kingsy> hk4l - I would prefer to just get it working if possible
[20:38] <trond-> mbeierl, so header (amd64), image (amd64) and _all ? or shall I use i386 even though I am running 64-bit?
[20:38] <mbeierl> trond-: yes those three, and you
[20:38] <BluesKaj> YankDownUnder, CoolHandLouis is running ubuntu as a virtualbox guest on Vista , with Comodo Firewall
[20:38] <mbeierl> trond-: you'll need to use the 64
[20:38] <CoolHandLouis> My laptop is wired into my Linksys WRT300N router, which goes to my comcast cable.  How can I debug this issue?
[20:38] <YankDownUnder> BluesKaj, Roger.
[20:39] <trond-> mbeierl, ok.. Thanks. I'll save the link and information for later.
[20:39] <hk4l> Kingsy: did it work
[20:39] <Rishav-T> mbeierl: tried PdaNet? It worked for me (with an iPod touch though). I've never used ipheth, so I wont be help on that, sry. here's the link for pdanet on ubuntu: http://www.uluga.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8623561
[20:39] <YankDownUnder> CoolHandLouis, Check the routes on the router, mirror them on the workstation.
[20:39] <BluesKaj> CoolHandLouis, you need to open the firewall in windows to your ubuntu install
[20:39] <Kingsy> hk4l - I didnt try it cos I don't really want to not use a password.. but I will test it now 1 sec
[20:40] <mbeierl> Rishav-T: it's an iphone which means it needs usbmuxd
[20:40] <KB1JWQ> !pm | spiku
[20:40] <Rishav-T> mbeierl: yea it does. So the problem's there? oh.
[20:41] <trond-> mbeierl, do you know if this would be stable? http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-next/2010-11-15-maverick/
[20:41] <mbeierl> trond-: it did not work for me :(
[20:41] <KB1JWQ> trond-: That'll depend upon your definition of "stable."
[20:41] <b0ot> erUSUL, it doesn't appear that any tftp server works in the new versions of ubunu
[20:41] <CoolHandLouis> @YankDownUnder - Not sure how to do that.  @BluesKaj - I'll google Comdo/VirtualBox/Ubuntu to see how to open the firewall.
[20:41] <KB1JWQ> b0ot: You sure about that?
[20:42] <hk4l> Kingsy: oh, then sudo smbpasswd -a username
[20:42] <erUSUL> b0ot: not really experinced with them sorry
[20:42] <KB1JWQ> b0ot: I'm willing to bet you're mistaken on that.
[20:42] <mbeierl> trond-: it gave me a black screen on boot
[20:42] <YankDownUnder> CoolHandLouis, The networking inside VB has to be "shared" - or NAT - that's the first step mate.
[20:42] <b0ot> KB1JWQ, i wouldn't go as far as to say SURE but I have tried both atftpd and tftp-hpa and followed multiple walkthroughs without sucess
[20:42] <venik> when I try to print from a printer on my print server, I get an error: cannot connect to remote host.   What do I do?  This used to owrk for years
[20:42] <erUSUL> b0ot: but maybe you are doing something wrong? something obvious like firewall?
[20:42] <trond-> mbeierl, then I'll keep away from it.
[20:43] <lolwtf> :O
[20:43] <KB1JWQ> b0ot: And you've opened holes in the appropriate firewalls? :-)
[20:43] <trond-> KB1JWQ, well, right... since it is not a clean 37 or 38, I believe no one would name it stable... or?
[20:43] <CoolHandLouis> @YankDownUnder - yup I got that - configured for NAT right now.  Thanks.
[20:43] <marco_Absolut> list
[20:43] <genii-around> Kingsy: You may want also: sudo smbpasswd -e name                     to enable that account after creating a password for it
[20:43] <b0ot> KB1JWQ, what firewall?  (Input,Forward,Output policy is accept)
[20:47] <amalgama> lm-sensors doesnt work on ubuntu 10.10??
[20:47] <KB1JWQ> b0ot: To a pastebin.
[20:47] <KB1JWQ> b0ot: And yes, I have.
[20:47] <KB1JWQ> b0ot: So I strongly suspect you're doing it wrong. :-)
[20:47] <Kingsy> hk4l - my smb.conf doesnt match to what it is telling me to do
[20:47] <b0ot> KB1JWQ, what did you end up using?
[20:47] <Kingsy> for example I don't have [Guest Share] in my conf
[20:47] <venik> Kingsy-- maybe you have more than one smb.conf on your system-- I had that and it drove me nuts
[20:48] <Kingsy> ffs
[20:48] <venik> search for all smb.conf
[20:48] <Kingsy> venik - what would be the grep for that?
[20:49] <hk4l> Kingsy: try sudo smbpasswd -a username
[20:49] <KB1JWQ> b0ot: tftpd, what else would I use? :-)
[20:49] <hk4l> username = your username
[20:49] <b0ot_linux> KB1JWQ, http://pastebin.com/XDtAcsH1
[20:49] <hk4l> Then use that to connect to smb
[20:49] <Guest35512> livecd lucidLynx runs, install fails after keyboard recognintion - laptop x86
[20:49] <b0ot> KB1JWQ, atftpd or tftp-hpa
[20:49] <KB1JWQ> b0ot: No, tftpd.
[20:49] <KB1JWQ> b0ot: As in http://linux.die.net/man/8/tftpd
[20:50] <venik> I used the search from the file manager (Nautilus in my case)
[20:50] <avis> i cannot get 64-bit adobe flash to work in either firefox or google chrome i am using 64-bit 10.10 ubuntu maverick
[20:51] <Kingsy> hk4l - ok 1 sec
[20:51] <venik> or type: locate smb.conf
[20:52] <Kingsy> hk4l  - hmm ok it accepted the password but it doesnt show any files
[20:52] <Kingsy> hk4l  - hmm ok it accepted the password but it doesnt show any files
[20:52] <Kingsy> oops sorry :S

[20:52] <nurey> i am upgrade from hardy to lucid (8.04 to 10.04). i am now stuck at upgrading xfonts-base. here are the details http://pastebin.com/qDzEFirA help anyone?
[20:53] <jrib> avis: how are you trying?
[20:53] <minimec> fjk
[20:53] <Monotoko> hiya guys...I don't suppose anyone knows how to send SMS (not MMS!) from a Ubuntu server...ideally for free?
[20:53] <b0ot> KB1JWQ, where do files go once you transfer them?
[20:54] <jrib> nurey: first stop should be bugs.ubuntu.com (make sure you search fix released bugs too).  If that doesn't prove fruitful, please poke me
[20:54] <schnuffle> Monotoko: use a email to sms provider
[20:54] <KB1JWQ> b0ot: It sounds to me like the challenge you're facing is "how do I set up tftpd," not "tftpd is broken."
[20:54] <nurey> jrib i've googled various keywords from the installation log, but will try bugs.ubuntu.com directly
[20:54] <minimec> Monotoko: Something like that?
[20:54] <Monotoko> schnuffle, there is no way to host it myself?
[20:54] <minimec> Monotoko: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/gsmsendsms.8.html
[20:55] <schnuffle> Monotoko: yes if you plugin a usb gsm stick
[20:55] <hk4l> Kingsy: dumb question is there any files in the folder?
[20:55] <furi> i don't know if this is the right place, but on tilp2, through a silverlink cable to my ti-92 plus, when trying to delete a file, it gets stuck while requesting a version or something like that. also, i can copy not even 700 bytes of info onto this, but yet it's said to hold 700 kilobytes. what's going on?
[20:56] <b0ot> KB1JWQ, well I will admit that I have not done ennough to say that TFTP is broken for sure, but TFTP did not work following multiple walkthroughs using atftpd and tftp-hpa
[20:56] <Monotoko> schnuffle, I assume the GSM stick would need a sim card...and to connect to a carrier?
[20:56] <b0ot> KB1JWQ, I also just did in.tftp -c /home/laptop
[20:56] <schnuffle> Monotoko: exactly
[20:56] <b0ot> and was still not able to connect
[20:56] <helo> anyone know of a phone (not a cell phone: a wireless handset) that can be used in linux with google voice to make and receive calls?
[20:57] <Monotoko> schnuffle, I was hoping for a way to bypass that and use the internet to get SMS's out, but I guess I have the protocol wrong?
[20:57] <helo> the gmail google talk plugin seems to work well just using speakers and a microphone, but it would be awesome if it was possible to make and receive calls from a portable wireless handset
[20:58] <schnuffle> Monotoko: at one place it has to be transported into the gsm net and one way is having a gsm device connected to the server, another is to use a provider. Providers often offer email2sms gateways but there are other protocols available
[20:59] <KB1JWQ> b0ot: http://www.davidsudjiman.info/2006/03/27/installing-and-setting-tftpd-in-ubuntu/
[20:59] <AngMar> Howdy fellas! Just wondering: is there a browser that retains the contents of the flash app I use often when I hibernate and restore? Firefox (after switching back to 10.04) works as long as I do, but after restoring it gives me a blank gray screen.
[20:59] <nurey> jrib no results on bugs.ubuntu.com
[20:59] <nurey> jrib should i open a bug?
[20:59] <Monotoko> schnuffle, I see...thank you!
[20:59] <Kingsy> anyone seen an error like this --> worker didnt not accept messge -1 connection refused repeated about 50 times on start up? its a netbook remix installation..  it seems to boot ok apart from that...
[21:00] <AngMar> The app in question is http://pimpmygun.doctornoob.com/oldapp.php
[21:00] <jrib> nurey: not yet.  Pastebin: apt-cache policy xfonts-utils xfonts-base
[21:00] <mbeierl> AngMar: that's a flash player problem, not really a browser problem...  Not that I know how to solve it either way
[21:00] <dajhorn> helo: You can use a recent Asterisk release to connect a regular VOIP phone to Google Voice.
[21:00] <jrib> nurey: erm, please run « sudo apt-get update » beforehand
[21:00] <AngMar> Huh, okay. Anybody else know how to solve it?
[21:00] <Roasted> why would ubuntu NOT have a connection when I turn it on unless I disable and re-enable network manager?
[21:00] <bezao> i'm running ubuntu under vbox and already have selected a network adapter on bridge mode! but when i boot ubuntu i dont have my eth0, anyone can help me

[21:01] <helo> dajhorn: awesome, thanks

[21:02] <nurey> jrib thank you so much
[21:02] <dajhorn> helo: Welcome.  Note that the asterisk 1.6 release in the Ubuntu universe repo is too old for Google Voice.
[21:02] <jrib> nurey: no problem
[21:03] <AngMar> Anyone have a solution aside from reinstalling flash player?
[21:03] <jrib> nurey: by the way, how did you upgrade?  Through update-manager?
[21:03] <nurey> jrib i used do-release-upgrade
[21:03] <jrib> nurey: if the upgrade failed, that might be something bug worthy

[21:06] <KB1JWQ> b0ot: Then you're doing it wrong.
