[15:10] <stephenthemartyr> ok if i cd into the tmp file where the tar.bz2 file is what command unpacks them?
[15:10] <thunder1212> compdoc: plz chk this link.. http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201104-7889
[15:12] <RadoS> Moin. With default install of 10.04.02 you get a system summary when you login. I tried a minimal install, now this summary is missing, but I have no clue which packages contains this summary. Any idea how to figure this out?
[15:13] <stephenthemartyr> why does the archive manager say "cannot read file" when i downloada .rar files??
[15:13] <jrib> RadoS: probably update-motd
[15:13] <thunder1212> compdoc:  ??
[15:13] <jrib> !rar | stephenthemartyr
[15:13] <compdoc> thunder1212, by 'battery back up' do you mean a UPS?
[15:14] <auronandace> !rar | stephenthemartyr
[15:14] <jrib> stephenthemartyr: why did you say "nope" earlier
[15:14] <RadoS> jrib, no, not installed by default.
[15:14] <stephenthemartyr> cuz it didnt work i couldntr unpack the tar.bz2 file either
[15:14] <jrib> RadoS: yes it is
[15:14] <thunder1212> compdoc: no no ... latop battery
[15:14] <stephenthemartyr> im confused
[15:15] <RadoS> jrib, I checked on the default installed system where the summary works, but the update-motd is not installed.
[15:15] <jrib> stephenthemartyr: what does "file /path/to/your/tar.bz2" return?
[15:15] <stephenthemartyr> im newb so the/to is what?and the/your is what?
[15:15] <kingofswords> hi i have 4gb ram and only 800meg is being used....is there any reason why my swap memory is starting to be used?
[15:15] <jrib> RadoS: did you see the package description for update-motd package?
[15:16] <compdoc> thunder1212, do you mean the battery is running down faster?
[15:16] <jrib> !who | stephenthemartyr
[15:16] <jrib> stephenthemartyr: in a terminal type the word "file" followed by the path to the tar.bz2 file
[15:17] <stephenthemartyr> jrib: what is the "path"
[15:17] <jrib> stephenthemartyr: location
[15:17] <thunder1212> compdoc: yes
[15:17] <stephenthemartyr> ok
[15:17] <stephenthemartyr> jrib: ok sorry
[15:18] <compdoc> thunder1212, its possible the cpu frequency scaling isnt working, so the cpu is running full blast all the time. Im trying to fix the same problem on a system I have
[15:19] <stephenthemartyr> jrib: it said error
[15:19] <jrib> stephenthemartyr: pastebin what you typed and full output on http://paste.ubuntu.com
[15:20] <mordof> I've been having trouble with my OS crashing the past couple of days.. both monitors would just black out, all activity would stop (was watching a movie once and the sound cut out).. forced to press the power button and reboot
[15:20] <mordof> anyone know how I would troubleshoot this? I already did memtest, the RAM is fine
[15:21] <stephenthemartyr> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/678968/
[15:22] <jrib> stephenthemartyr: "/tmp openo_instrument_template-1.1.tar.bz2" is not the location of the file.  You probably mean: /tmp/openo_instrument_template-1.1.tar.bz2
[15:22] <stephenthemartyr> jrib: oops sorry dude,so thats the command rigfht?
[15:23] <stephenthemartyr> jrib: now is says sompressed file block size=600k
[15:23] <stephenthemartyr> *compressed
[15:24] <thunder1212> compdoc: will this battery problem be there with windows 7 also??
[15:24] <jrib> stephenthemartyr: tar xvf /path/to/file
[15:24] <thunder1212> compdoc: i will hate to run windows.. on my laptop
[15:25] <zteam> is there anybody who can help me with magnetlinks in firefox please???
[15:25] <compdoc> thunder1212, no, Windows should already work
[15:25] <mordof> zteam: with what specicially?
[15:25] <mordof> specifically*
[15:25] <thunder1212> compdoc: with full battery
[15:26] <stephenthemartyr> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/678975/
[15:26] <zteam> mordof, i can't get magnet-links working with firefox anymore (ie directlinks to torrent)
[15:26] <jrib> stephenthemartyr: get rid of "file"
[15:27] <mordof> zteam: are magnet links a different protocol?
[15:28] <viking_> what arguments to netstat show remote connections only
[15:28] <viking_> $ netstat -somethinghere
[15:28] <mordof> zteam: ah, yeah they are. you can register your own protocols in firefox and specify the program they belong to. that may work
[15:28] <stephenthemartyr> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/678980/
[15:28] <thunder1212> compdoc: did u check this link.. http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201104-7889
[15:28] <zteam> mordof, no, they is just a link to a torrent see here for example http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/5224085/GIMP_version_2.6.8_Stable
[15:28] <RadoS> jrib, ok, misunderstood: libpam-modules is installed on the minimal, too, yet some scripts in /etc/update-motd.d are missing, like 50-landscape-sysinfo or 90-updates-available. How can I find out to which packages those files belong?
[15:28] <jrib> stephenthemartyr: that's not what I told you to type :/
[15:29] <jrib> RadoS: you can use apt-file or packages.ubuntu.com
[15:29] <tera___> I keep getting The canary thread is apparently starving. Taking action. in syslog and that seems to be the message that I get whenever my machine locks up for a few minutes any idea what could casue it?
[15:29] <zteam> mordof, exactly
[15:29] <compdoc> thunder1212, read this:  http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-change-cpu-frequency-scaling-in-ubuntu.html
[15:29] <jrib> RadoS: or on the system that has them you can use dpkg -S or dlocate -S
[15:29] <mordof> zteam: yeah - i checked it out. it's a different protocol
[15:29] <stephenthemartyr> jrib: well im confuised then sorrry:(
[15:29] <jrib> stephenthemartyr: tar xvf /path/to/file
[15:29] <mordof> zteam: what version of firefox are you running?
[15:29] <rain> hi
[15:30] <zteam> mordof, 6.0
[15:30] <rain> can i ask a question here?
[15:30] <Pici> jrib, stephenthemartyr: the xvf option isn't going to going to uncompress a bz2 file. you need to use xjv
[15:31] <hylian> !ask
[15:31] <stephenthemartyr> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/678982/  does this mean it worked?
[15:31] <kristopher> well i must say the alpha release is looking good. dropped fedora yesterday for the countdown lol.
[15:31] <rabbi1> where can i find "workspace switcher"
[15:31] <jrib> Pici: tar does that automatically
[15:31] <Pici> tera___: does it?
[15:32] <stephenthemartyr> Pici: ok so what do i do thrn?
[15:32] <hylian> rain: ask away
[15:32] <Pici> tera___: I don't know how I mistabbed that... sorry.
[15:32] <Pici> stephenthemartyr: ignore me, listen to jrib
[15:32] <jrib> stephenthemartyr: it extracted your file, you should now have a openo_instrument_template-1.1 directory
[15:33] <meomic> hey, i have sey up mail serv on my pc, but i have firewall - iptables, i need to unblock port 25 but maybe anyone know if i should unblock tcp? or udp? or both?
[15:33] <stephenthemartyr> jrib: ok thanks so much for your patience,if i want to open them in lmms or linux sampler its hpildnt be too hard to find them right?
[15:33] <kristopher> i have a few questions in regards to ubuntu. Just curious if the 64bit version is using flash 64bit beta or if the browser is wrapped with the 32 bit version of flash???
[15:34] <jrib> stephenthemartyr: should be in your HOME directory, yes
[15:34] <stephenthemartyr> jrib: thank you so much
[15:34] <meomic> 64 bit ubuntu 11.04 for now is wrapped with 32bit ver of flash - anyway the 64bit alpha flash is not working well - crashed alot my pc - im back to the wrapped one...
[15:34] <thunder1212> compdoc: i read that but i think the cpu frequency seems to be ok although i will check again..
[15:34] <jrib> stephenthemartyr: I don't know why file-roller/Archive Manager did not work for you
[15:34] <kristopher> thanks meomic
[15:35] <glebaron> kristopher, 64-bit ubuntu uses 64-bit flash.
[15:35] <mordof> zteam: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Register_protocol#Firefox_3.5_and_above
[15:35] <meomic> glebaron: are you sure? my was using 32 bit one
[15:35] <mordof> zteam: add one called magnet
[15:35] <LurchiderLurch> Does anyone know if it is possible to install xv on U 10.10 64bit?
[15:35] <dimitris> test
[15:36] <dar3cki> czesc
[15:36] <gaelfx> dimitris: test success
[15:36] <eduardoinsweden> why cant I open /root folder??
[15:36] <glebaron> meomic, maybe I should clarify. I use 64-bit 10.04 and I installed flash by hand. I guess I have no idea what the current is using.
[15:36] <eduardoinsweden> I try sudo
[15:36] <dar3cki> jest tu jakiś polak?
[15:36] <eduardoinsweden> but still I cant open the /root folder
[15:36] <eduardoinsweden> to install things I need
[15:36] <dimitris> hi.i have started compiling kernel.but have one problem..how do i find cpu family? e.x intel i3 ?
[15:36] <hylian> rain: what question did you want to ask?
[15:37] <gaelfx> eduardoinsweden: that doesn't sound like a good way to install anything
[15:37] <eduardoinsweden> yes it does, I need to install webmin
[15:37] <eduardoinsweden> and for that I need to put a key in root
[15:37] <eduardoinsweden> In Debian, no need for stupid sudo command
[15:37] <meomic> eduardoinsweden: type in terminal: gksu nautilus it should give you access, or sudo mc if you want shell
[15:37] <Myrtti> !webmin | eduardoinsweden
[15:38] <eduardoinsweden> then what can I use instead of webmin
[15:39] <tera___> Any idea about the canary thread starving?  I test the RAM and am testing the HD right now.  CPU doesn't crash or anything the ubuntu system just freezes and then comes back a few minutes later
[15:41] <tera___> Even my ssh connection will stop working for a few minutes
[15:43] <kamathln> hi .. anybody using dell inspiron 1564 i5?

[15:43] <stephenthemartyr> ok im back
[15:43] <kristopher> As far as the file system is concerned i noticed bleachbit to be a useful peice of sw for cleaning purposes when run as root. Is there any purpose as I know android usually wipes temp files out at a certain point im assuming ubuntu will do the same. is this true?
[15:44] <kamathln> has anybody been facing extreme slowness of natty on dell inspion 1564?

[15:50] <dweez> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick
[15:51] <lrojas> dweez: that is an alternative, but is there any solution for copying the LiveCD image to ram and booting from there?

[16:14] <staar2> mordof, are you sure this is software problem, the problem could also be in hardware
[16:14] <acicula> zteam: looks just like a badly made package, maybe try finding it or something similar in the ubuntu software repository?

[16:16] <decio> mamed, what's the problem?
[16:17] <mamed> hello guys greetings from turkey and i have a problem on my ubuntu natty. i want to  change my gdm screen but i cant do it
[16:17] <acicula> zteam: you could try a dpkg flag that instructs it to ignore such errors, but it looks like the package is broken to begin with
[16:17] <staar2> maalac you mean connect to internet through dhcpd ?
[16:17] <lysgaard> Anyone have experience on black screen and freeze when one connects multiple monitors?
[16:18] <decio> lysgaard, I only have one screen, sorry

[16:18] <decio> hroi, hi
[16:18] <maalac> staar2: i'm not really sure. coz when my laptop is came from suspend and then on battery mode. LAN is not turning on ?
[16:18] <hroi> anyone here know what the heck to do with /dev/shm
[16:18] <hroi> can I touch it?  I want to use tmpfs for image processing
[16:18] <zteam> acicula, no, it seems to complain about a temp file: "var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci//.svn"
[16:19] <maalac> :'(staar2:  and sometimes when i boot up on battery LAN is not turning on but wireless works .
[16:20] <rgarcia> hello everyone! someone able and willing to help setting up a wireless usb adapter in ubuntu server (no X)?
[16:21] <acicula> zteam: is the file there, can dpkg read it?
[16:22] <zteam> acicula, not according to rm: sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/tmp.ci//.svn
[16:22] <zteam> acicula, no such file or directory
[16:22] <acicula> zteam: the tmp.ci directory should not be there either
[16:24] <ksull72487> well 3 steps and i never have to reboot to upgrade the cpu bios. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashrom Has anyon heard of flashrom?
[16:28] <Death4Life> ksull72487: don't you mean the bios of the systemboard? >.>
[16:28] <zagabar> I've customised one of the themes in ubuntu and everything works. But when KDevelop is exited and started again, the theme gets broken. Logging out and in doesn't help. I have to select another theme and then set it back to my theme again to make it work. It breaks like this: http://pallkarsia.net/~uploader/psst/upload/Screenshot.png Why is this?
[16:28] <designbybeck> anyway to chown in the GUI?
[16:28] <ksull72487> yes sry bad abbreviation
[16:29] <Death4Life> designbybeck: right click -> properties?
[16:29] <designbybeck> you can change permissions by rightclicking but can you chown
[16:29] <zteam> acicula, I don't get what that means
[16:29] <ksull72487> bios for the motherboard i have updates from the manufacture and all include updates for 64bit and ram and lol linux
[16:29] <designbybeck> yeah Death for 777 755 and such you can, but I don't see a spot for changing owner of a file there
[16:30] <Death4Life> designbybeck: I can change the group but not the user :p
[16:30] <zteam> acicula, but that package worked flawlessy with ubuntu 10.10
[16:30] <ksull72487> was thinking about flashrom to install the bios upgrade im looking for an easy way without going back to windows
[16:30] <ksull72487> to do it
[16:31] <zteam> ksull72487, most motherboard manufacters will provide a DOS-utility for that
[16:31] <geirha> designbybeck: Only too can change ownership of files
[16:31] <SIFTU> ksull72487: freedos
[16:31] <geirha> designbybeck: err, *Only root
[16:31] <ksull72487> yeah but running it from usb is what i need to do
[16:31] <rog> hi, i've got a naive question about ubuntu/gnome - is this a good place to ask?
[16:31] <designbybeck> hmmm
[16:31] <SIFTU> ksull72487: freedos runs from usb
[16:31] <ksull72487> i can do a disc on one cpu but not on the other as its just a box with brains
[16:31] <acicula> zteam: idk what you had then, this deb install fails expecting files in a directory where they arent and should not be either. so i cant see how you could get it to install, unless you use something like --force or whatever its called to ignore errors, but that might cause other problems
[16:32] <sipior> rog: sure, go ahead.
[16:32] <designbybeck> geirha, can you be root or superuser in GUI and right click and change owner or soemthing like that?
[16:32] <geirha> designbybeck: Alt+F2 -> gksudo nautilus
[16:32] <ksull72487> are there any clear tutorials that have freedos updating the bios without the us a of a cd
[16:33] <rog> i've just installed ubuntu for the first time on my new laptop. clicking the miniaturize button on a window causes it to disappear. i've googled for the answer, and it talks about right-clicking on "the panel" and adding Window List. what is "the panel"?
[16:33] <SIFTU> ksull72487: google buddie http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/freedos/index.php?title=USB
[16:33] <acicula> ksull72487: to use a new bios you will have to reboot anyway, its possible to flash bios from linux, but honestly why risk bricking your hardware and ignoring the vendor recommendation?
[16:33] <geirha> designbybeck: There's also the nautilus-gksu package you can install. It allows you to right click a file/folder and "open as administrator".
[16:34] <rog> (or should i just avoid the miniaturize button? :-])
[16:34] <xangua> rog: I suggest you to read http://omgubuntu.co.uk/natty/ to lear to use unity
[16:35] <designbybeck> geirha,  thanks for that info, i was trying to upload things to a server but it get it the servers root user instead of www-data
[16:36] <designbybeck> so from commandline on the server I would just do 'chown www-data:www-data filename -R
[16:36] <designbybeck> for all subfiles as well?
[16:37] <chiiiiiz> hello!!!
[16:37] <rog> xangua: ok, scanned that. it doesn't mention minimize, but it says the Launcher replaces the standard window list. shouldn't that mean that i should see minimized windows in the launcher bar?
[16:37] <bkerensa> hill chiiiiz
[16:37] <rog> ('cos i don't)
[16:37] <chiiiiiz> Ubuntu64 does not recognize my DVD drive.... it does not show in teh Disk Utility,... but I can boot on a CD...
[16:37] <chiiiiiz> It is my first time under64 bits...
[16:38] <chiiiiiz> HELP!!!!
[16:38] <geirha> designbybeck: Yes, assuming filename is a directory. -R doesn't make much sense on a regular file
[16:38] <designbybeck> gotcha! Thanks for your help geirha
[16:39] <rog> i think minimized windows are just disappearing, but maybe there's a secret place that i can find them...
[16:44] <usr13> chiiiiiz: eject
[16:44] <rog> is this a really stupid question or something? please put me out of my misery!
[16:44] <usr13> rog: Are you using unity?
[16:44] <usr13> If so, look for highlighted items on left.
[16:44] <geirha> rog: Or asked in a different way, which ubuntu version?
[16:44] <rog> usr13: yes, i believe so. (standard ubuntu desktop install)
[16:45] <usr13> 11.04?
[16:45] <rog> geirha: 11.04 i think
[16:45] <geirha> rog: Then minimized windows should be accesible from the menubar on the left
[16:45] <usr13> rog: Look for highlighted items on left.
[16:45] <willhotmess> What are some good rooms to chat in?
[16:46] <rog> geirha: so if i minimise (say) a chrome window, a new item should appear on the left?
[16:46] <usr13> !ot | willhotmess
[16:46] <rog> 'cos that's not happening
[16:46] <rog> AFAICS
[16:46] <geirha> rog: Yes, a chrome icon should appear
[16:47] <rog> geirha: there's already a chrome icon, but clicking on it doesn't bring up any of the chrome minimised windows
[16:47] <mordof> rog: it won't make a new one when you appear. if you launch chrome - it will create a new item on the left. when you minimize, an arrow will be placed beside that new item which was created when you launched it to begin with
[16:48] <mordof> rog: s/appear/minimize
[16:48] <rog> mordog: no arrow is created when i minimize a chrome window
[16:48] <geirha> rog: Do you see a small white triangle next to it?
[16:48] <rog> no
[16:48] <rog> although i do against other apps
[16:49] <rog> i'll try another app, e.g. terminal
[16:49] <mordof> rog: sometimes, depending on how it's launched/installed - does it create another black/blank icon somewhere else when you launch chrome?
[16:49] <geirha> rog: Hm. If you hold down the Alt key and hit TAB, do you see it?
[16:49] <rog> ah, minimizing a Terminal window works ok
[16:49] <v1k1ng> how to format a windows partition and add it to the linux partition
[16:50] <rog> mordof: no, the chrome icon always stays the same
[16:50] <rog> i could try quitting and adding it to the dock again
[16:50] <maalac> v1k1ng: mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda
[16:51] <maalac> v1k1ng: fdisk -l first to so that you'll know what partition it is ..
[16:51] <v1k1ng> maalac nice one thanks
[16:51] <splnet> v1k1ng:  mkfs.* formats the partition. there are several options
[16:51] <rog> hmm, now when i launch chrome, i don't get a chrome icon at all
[16:51] <geirha> rog: It should work even if it wasn't in that dock. Sounds like you've encountered some bug in unity. Have you installed all the latest updates?
[16:52] <v1k1ng> i'll read the man pages
[16:52] <Root_hack> hello all
[16:52] <rog> geirha: i think so (all the ones it suggested anyway)
[16:52] <rog> i'll try rebooting
[16:52] <geirha> rog: Hm. Ok. And by chrome, you mean google-chrome, not chromium, right?
[16:53] <TheRedOctober> Greetings all.  I am trying to script up some snapshots using virsh/KVM. How might one come up with a machine readable list via 'virsh list' to do a 'for do' suite to clean up ma snapshots.
[16:53] <mod> I cannot figured out how to use update-alternaitves, could I get a hand please?
[16:53] <Pici> mod: What seems to be the issue?
[16:53] <rog> geirha: i think so. Chrome as suggested when searching from the Applications icon
[16:54] <mod> I cannot use openJDK and I want to have all app expecting it to use the Sun JDK I've installed.  I've changed all the PATHs I can think of, no help
[16:54] <geirha> rog: That sounds like chromium. It has a blue icon?
[16:54] <Pici> mod: All you need to do is run sudo update-java-alternatives
[16:54] <maalac> v1k1ng:  no problem ..
[16:54] <rog> geirha: no, it has the usual (coloured wheel) icon
[16:54] <iderik> Ive been trying to change colors on uxterm since last night now. But it doesnt work. Ive changed ~/.Xresources and even /etc/X11/app-defaults/UXTerm-color and ran xrdb -merge ~/.Xresoureces. What is the problem? Please help me.. I cant understand how hard this should be.. making me crazy
[16:55] <rog> wait a mo, i'll try rebooting
[16:55] <Pici> mod: er, I think that requires an argument, so use the -l and -s
[16:55] <geirha> rog: Ah, that's google chrome. I'll try installing that on Ubuntu 11.04 and see if I can reproduce it.
[16:55] <mod> hmm
[16:55] <rog> geirha: thanks
[16:55] <rog> brb
[16:55] <mod> Pici hmm seems i have to have openjdk installed to do this
[16:56] <mod> aptitude install openjdk-6-jdk
[16:57] <mod> Pici, so i have openjdk installed, and I took the Sun JDK, used alien to turn it into a deb, and then installed that
[16:58] <Pici> mod: Why did you do that?
[16:58] <mod> when I run  update-java-alternatives -l , i see openjdk
[16:58] <mod> because its the Sun JDK that I need
[16:58] <mod> and it doesnt come as a deb
[16:58] <glebihan> mod, sun jdk is available as a deb package
[16:58] <Pici> mod: alien is really really really not reccomended.
[16:59] <mod> hmmm
[16:59] <Pici> mod: enable the partner repository and then install the relevant sun-java-* package you want.
[16:59] <geirha> rog: Works as expected here
[17:00] <Pici> !partner | mod
[17:00] <mod> blargh, ok how to do I unstall the alien pkg?
[17:03] <Pici> mod: sudo dpkg -r packagename
[17:04] <mod> would if be the jdk in "Other" undethanks
[17:04] <iderik> Anyone knows how to change colors on xterm? ive been trying with .Xresources and ran "xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources".
[17:04] <chiiiiiz> msg NickServ identify thev2111
[17:04] <Pici> chiiiiiz: you may want to pick a new password now.
[17:04] <chiiiiiz> maybe... maybe....
[17:04] <mod> # aptitude install sun-java6-jdk
[17:04] <mod> :)
[17:04] <mordof> lol xD
[17:05] <mordof> couldn't help it..
[17:05] <iderik> "disconnected by service"?
[17:05] <iderik> someone kicked him?
[17:05] <mod> iderik, xterm or gterm?
[17:05] <mordof> i ghosted him to teach him a lesson, lol.. it helped me remember when i did it
[17:05] <iderik> mod: uxterm
[17:05] <mod> never used uxterm, sorry
[17:05] <mordof> chiiiiiz: let that be a lesson to you :p
[17:05] <mordof> chiiiiiz: never identify in a channel
[17:06] <iderik> mod: shouldnt it be the same as xterm? uxterm is just xterm with unicode
[17:06] <mod> its like pulling up you dress
[17:06] <mod> iderik, you could do it on the cmdline :)
[17:06] <iderik> mod: i want it permamently
[17:06] <iderik> :)
[17:06] <mordof> chiiiiiz: that happened to me before - and a person ghosted me 6 times before letting it go
[17:06] <mod> iderik, alias?  set the gnome icon properies?
[17:07] <iderik> mod: i rather do it "proper" :/
[17:07] <mordof> chiiiiiz: needless to say i never fogot :p
[17:07] <mod> iderik, that's pretty proper
[17:07] <chiiiiiz> great lesson, yeah
[17:07] <wrtp> rog here. on my other laptop. everything's gone tits up and i now have a totally blank desktop!
[17:07] <dweez> chiiiiiz, also...um, change your Identify password (if you haven't already)
[17:08] <iderik> mod: where do you mean i should make the alias? :)
[17:08] <beFra_> hello
[17:08] <mod> iderik, in your .profile/bashrc ... but are you starting this from an gnome icon?
[17:08] <beFra_> any idea on how enable audio in natty ? I'm using wmii runned with startx
[17:09] <beFra_> i think some gdm script are missed
[17:09] <wrtp> i think i probably broke things by changing my .profile. i restored it (by doing newuser and copying .profile from the new user directory) but god knows what to do now.
[17:09] <iderik> mod: im using DWM (window manager) so ill launch it with a specialkey, i could add the -fg and -bg to the line there. but i want the colors all the time, no mather what starts the xterm
[17:09] <wrtp> maybe i should just reinstall ubuntu :-)
[17:09] <mod> yes
[17:10] <mod> iderik,  .Xdefaults is th eonly other thing I know of... but I'm old
[17:10] <Krugger666> hello
[17:10] <wrtp> so much for just trying to get my Chrome icon back...
[17:10] <iderik> mod: okey :) thanks! this is driving me crazy, how hard should it be to change colors on terminal :(
[17:11] <mordof> still hasn't changed his password -.-; lol
[17:11] <dweez> wrtp, why don't you just recreate the idon?
[17:11] <mordof> chiiiiiz: change your password
[17:12] <dweez> chiiiiiz, use the following to change your password
[17:12] <dweez> /msg NickServ SET PASSWORD <newpass>
[17:12] <mordof> needs an email arg as well
[17:12] <wrtp> dweeze: idon?
[17:12] <mordof> i believe the second argument is email
[17:12] <Pici> Can we get back to Ubuntu support folks? chiiiiiz if you need help changing your password you can ask in #freenode about it
[17:13] <dweez> mordof, I took that straight from the help file
[17:13] <mordof> ah, k
[17:13] <dweez> wrtp, sorry, icon
[17:13] <stowoda> hi
[17:13] <beFra_> any idea on how enable audio in natty ? I'm using wmii runned with startx
[17:13] <wrtp> dweez: i don't have a launcher any more, let alone any icons.
[17:13] <dweez> registering you need an e-mail, but when you change the password, you already have to be identified
[17:13] <beFra_> i think some gdm scripts are missed
[17:14] <stowoda> is there a progress bar when copying files with commands from the bash?
[17:14] <dweez> stowoda, not usually.  I think there might be a switch to help, or you can try -v for verbose
[17:14] <wrtp> i get a totally blank desktop, although i can right click to create a new folder/launcher/documemt
[17:15] <stowoda> dweez, understand.. thank You
[17:15] <rumpe1> stowoda, you can use "rsync <source> <target> --progress"
[17:15] <wrtp> what script starts the launcher, and how have i broken it?!
[17:15] <dweez> blank gdm desktop or did you accidentally switch TTYs?
[17:15] <stowoda> rumpe1, what ist that?
[17:15] <stowoda> will try it
[17:15] <stowoda> thx
[17:15] <usr13> stowoda:  What do you mean from the bash?  do you mean cp or scp or wget or???
[17:15] <stowoda> usr13, exactly
[17:15] <stowoda> cp for example
[17:16] <usr13> stowoda: no
[17:16] <dweez> it used to be Ctrl+Alt+Backspace would restart the gdm but now that shortcut isn't set by default
[17:16] <Pici> !who
[17:16] <xangua> dweez: you can enable it on Keyboard preferences
[17:16] <DoctorPepper> hi guys.
[17:16] <dweez> xangua, yes, but wrtp has a blank desktop
[17:16] <dweez> wrtp, did you goof just this session or is this how it is on a reboot?
[17:16] <xangua> ooh :S
[17:17] <wrtp> dweez: i tried rebooting and same deal
[17:17] <usr13> stowoda: scp  -  yes
[17:17] <wrtp> i can start a shell, if that helps
[17:17] <wrtp> (good old xterm)
[17:17] <dweez> wrtp, blank gdm desktop or did you accidentally switch TTYs?
[17:18] <splnet> dd allows progress indication
[17:18] <dweez> and you don't know what did this?
[17:18] <wrtp> dweeze: blank gdm desktop, i think
[17:18] <wrtp> i've got the same background (purplish)
[17:18] <dweez> splnet, what switch on dd does that?  That would have come in handy for me more than once
[17:18] <wrtp> and i can get a context menu by right clicking
[17:18] <wrtp> just nothing else
[17:19] <dweez> wrtp, ah, ok
[17:19] <dweez> and did this happen right after an update?
[17:19] <kaellan> is ACPI turned off for standard in ubuntu or how to see if its on or off ?
[17:19] <splnet> dweez: man dd; search for "kill -USR1"
[17:20] <wrtp> dweez: no, it restarted fine after installing all the updates
[17:20] <stowoda> usr13, I think the solution with rsync which rumpel1 gave me above will satisfy me. thx to all :)
[17:21] <dweez> ah, thanks splnet
[17:22] <splnet> dweez: sure. very helpful in scripts
[17:22] <dweez> I just usually go to the receiving folder and watch the file size climb
[17:22] <wrtp> ah, fixed it!
[17:23] <wrtp> to log in when i'd broken my .profile, i logged in with "user defined desktop", and it had remembered that setting
[17:23] <wrtp> phew
[17:23] <dweez> wrtp, good job
[17:23] <fission6> how do i create a group and allow write permission to /space/mongo
[17:24] <Arnold> Hello. Does anybody knows whether Unity has the ability to undirect fullscreen apps?
[17:25] <dweez> fission6, to create a group do a "man groupadd"
[17:25] <dweez> for permissions, check man chmod and man chown
[17:25] <fission6> ok
[17:25] <fission6> thanks
[17:25] <dweez> np
[17:25] <fission6> how do i list all groups?
[17:25] <splnet> fission6: sudo groupadd foo; chgrp /space/mongo; chmod 113 /space/mongo
[17:26] <iceroot> fission6: getent groups
[17:26] <splnet> err chgrp /space/mongo foo
[17:26] <iceroot> splnet: why 113? 3 = others
[17:27] <iceroot> splnet: user,group,others
[17:27] <splnet> iceroot: right 131
[17:27] <iceroot> splnet: and why execute for others?
[17:27] <dweez> I forget how to list the groups
[17:28] <fission6>  chmod 113 /space/mongo so is that the right thing
[17:28]  * dweez scratches his noodle
[17:28] <iceroot> dweez: getent groups
[17:28] <Pici> dweez: 'groups'
[17:28] <Pici> dweez: er, what iceroot said. I'm not thinking straight today.
[17:28] <iceroot> fission6: that is wrong
[17:28] <dweez> getent groups gave me an error
[17:28] <splnet> iceroot: depends on the use case execute permission for others has its uses
[17:28] <dweez> just "groups" worked fine
[17:28] <fission6>  chmod 113 /space/mongo is this the right line for permissions
[17:28] <iceroot> fission6: no
[17:29] <dweez> ah, it's "getent group"
[17:29] <dweez> not groups
[17:29] <unguest> now about that rainbow penis
[17:29] <fission6> oh how do i add a user to a group?
[17:29] <BlouBlou> unguest: ?
[17:29] <kaellan> Annyway to activate intel cpu core booster or likly in ubuntu ? my cpu supports turning quad core 1.9 ghz into 2.9 ghz dual core.
[17:30] <dweez> sounds like smoke, mirrors, and blather to me kaellan
[17:30] <kaellan> =?
[17:30] <splnet> fission6: depends on the use case. chmod 130 will give the write but not read to the group
[17:31] <iceroot> fission6: normally you want 770 so that the owner and group can do everything and others cant to anything
[17:31] <dweez> kaellan, sounds like it's just playing around with priorities and power management or something to make you think you're getting that extra 1.0 GHz
[17:31] <gigenieks> hi guys, what was the command of Alt+F2 to restart Xubuntu window manager? I remember it was something like "xfce4 --replace ?
[17:31] <gigenieks> everything is really messed up...
[17:32] <dweez> just to restart the xdm?
[17:32] <iceroot> gigenieks: sudo service xdm restart
[17:32] <dweez> ^^^
[17:32] <fission6> well they should be able to read and write both the owner and the group
[17:32] <iceroot> gigenieks: for restarting your x-server
[17:32] <kaellan> dweez, google intel turbo boost i dont know what itdo buth i ply wow and it only suports dual core so i play atm with 1.9 ghz = fps drops even oh i got a nvid gforce460m
[17:32] <dweez> adding the Ctrl+Alt+Bacspace shortcut back is on my list of things to do right after an install
[17:32] <iceroot> fission6: chmod 770 -R /path/to/dir
[17:32] <gigenieks> no I need to restart window manager
[17:33] <gigenieks> it is not X issue
[17:33] <iceroot> gigenieks: the command i told you will do that
[17:33] <ge> hi
[17:33] <dweez> gigenieks, as in restart the desktop ?
[17:33] <dweez> iceroot's command is for that
[17:34] <splnet> or send a HUP signal -> pkill -HUP gdm
[17:34] <gigenieks> xdm: unrecognized cmmand
[17:34] <gigenieks> I have Xubuntu
[17:35] <splnet> gigenieks: replace xdm with kdm, or gdm
[17:35] <maalac> setup ubuntu eth0 or LAN at bootup wether on battery or on power adapter? please help ..
[17:35] <dweez> Xbuntu is xdm right?
[17:36] <Pici> fyi: thats not the same thing as restarting the window manager.
[17:36] <gigenieks> did do that sudo service gdm restart
[17:36] <gigenieks> it restarted; didnt fix
[17:36] <blsh0p>  hey guys i had a question about virtual box, anyone here know how to use it?
[17:36] <dweez> Pici, then please elaborate
[17:36] <maalac> blsh0p: what do you want to know ?
[17:37] <maalac> maalac: setup ubuntu eth0 or LAN at bootup wether on battery or on power adapter? please help .
[17:37] <Pici> gigenieks: next time you'll want to restart whichever window manager you're using in xfce, either metacity or compiz. I'm not sure what is default nowadays.
[17:37] <Pici> gigenieks: but that will happen when you restart your display manager too.
[17:37] <blsh0p> I am currently dual booting windows and ubuntu, but i want to put the windows os that i already use on a virtual box file
[17:37] <dweez> Oh, the eyecandy
[17:37] <gigenieks> AS I SAID, it was fixed with ALT+F2 with some command which restart WINDOW manager isjsust cant remember exactly the type "xfce4 --replace" is wrong?
[17:37] <blsh0p> how can i run it on the virtual box instead of dual booting, while keeping the same os and all its files
[17:38] <Myrtti> Pici: xfwm4
[17:38] <Pici> Myrtti: oh?
[17:38] <dweez> http://www.sysprobs.com/physical-virtual-virtualbox-virtualbox-p2v
[17:38] <gigenieks> Myrtti: i think it is right, sec
[17:38] <dweez> blsh0p ==> http://www.sysprobs.com/physical-virtual-virtualbox-virtualbox-p2v
[17:39] <dweez> or go to VirtualBox's website and look for info on P2V (physical to virtual)
[17:39] <maalac> blsh0p: the only way i can think of is. norton ghost and then load the ghost image into your virtual box. but its not recommended..you might encounter driver problems along d way ..suggest to uninstall all drivers and install only generic ones..
[17:39] <Myrtti> gigenieks: also, just so you know, please have patience in our channels and don't crosspost across immediately if you don't get an answer...
[17:39] <gigenieks> Myrtti: thank you! itwas correcty type !! :)
[17:39] <QubeX2> blsh0p i dont think VirtualBox presents the exact same hardware as you computer
[17:39] <dweez> maalac, nah, most Virtual Environment software has a P2V procedure/tool
[17:39] <daavis> what to do so that my mobile phone recognize my laptop and i can send files from mobile ph. to computer?
[17:39] <Myrtti> gigenieks: it was what charlie-tca told you in #xubuntu eight minutes ago...
[17:39] <gigenieks> It just was an "emergency I could even go to internet browser.. :/
[17:40] <dweez> Have I been muted?
[17:40] <maalac> blsh0p: you can try dweez suggestion ..this kinda new to me..
[17:40] <dweez> lol

[17:40] <dweez> I've done P2V with Hyper-V but not with VB
[17:40] <maalac> dweez: although, i tried norton ghost before and it work for me..but lot of issues ..
[17:41] <gigenieks> Alt+f2 ----> "xfwm4 --replace" did the job - have a nice day everybody! :)
[17:41] <dweez> yeah, I think the P2V process eases the issue with differing hardware
[17:41] <daavis> what to do so that my mobile phone recognize my laptop and i can send files from mobile ph. to computer?
[17:41] <dweez> blsh0p, ==> http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Migrate_Windows

[17:49] <ktwohig9> 11.04 installed 7 days ago. 5 seperate freezeups occured since then. is there a log I can check to perhaps see what is causing the freezeup?
[17:50] <jnsl_> if i ask about an command i use on ubuntu on mac forum people say the same
[17:50] <D3loced> Maybe driver issues... check that first

[17:55] <Kirill> meh, I guess ubuntu's no good =( I'm surprised it can't even configure a common package properly
[17:55] <LurchiderLurch> Can anyone tell me what the text on top of the stuff to copy & paste means? I have no idea about that: http://olivers.posterous.com/build-xv-on-ubuntu

[18:00] <Kirill> is this IRC channel just for people to ask questions and not get answers?
[18:00] <Pici> Kirill: Please be patient.

[18:01] <daavis> sorry for repeating - Nokia x302 splnet | i want to send files from this phone to my laptop wirelessly [bluetooth? ] | splnet - ideas?
[18:01] <Kirill> it's part of the normal dist-upgrade process. it boggles the mind that ubuntu still has these issues
[18:01] <Myrtti> Kirill: have you tried would "sudo apt-get -f install" fix your problem?
[18:01] <Kirill> tried, nothing.
[18:02] <Pici> Kirill: Can you pastebin the entire error message you are getting?

[18:02] <Dark_Apostrophe> Hello. I'm trying to set up a Ubuntu 11.04 system in Virtualbox on a Win7 x64 host. The reason is that I need to root an Android phone by LG, but LG's Windows USB drivers only seem to work for 32-bit Windows. Anyway, following cyanogenmod's guide, it says I need the Android SDK, for which Java Development Kit is a requirement. I checked apt-get, and found only openjdk - will this do, or do I need the Sun/Oracle release?
[18:03] <Dark_Apostrophe> Or, if there are any .deb files of the Oracle release, so I don't have to mess with their manual install, which seems clunky.
[18:03] <blsh0p_> what is the virtualbox channel?
[18:04] <Pici> Dark_Apostrophe: install the appropriate sun-java-* package from the partner repository.
[18:04] <kidthomsonicarus> france?
[18:04] <Pici> !parter | Dark_Apostrophe
[18:04] <Dark_Apostrophe> Seemed more like a Ubuntu question (or maybe a Cyanogenmod question, I'm not sure)
[18:04] <blsh0p_> whats the cannel for virtualbox?
[18:04] <Dark_Apostrophe> No idea, is there one?
[18:04] <Pici> !perner | Dark_Apostrophe sorry
[18:04] <Pici> !partner | Dark_Apostrophe sorry
[18:04] <Pici> I can't do anything right today.
[18:05] <blsh0p_> u guys gave it to me like 10 minutes ago but i forgot
[18:05] <Dark_Apostrophe> thanks, Pici
[18:05] <dv310p3r> My system seems to have some sort of bottleneck. I've got 4gb of ram, 3.8gb usable, or something like that. Now, I know when i get to like 2gb used, it kicks in my swap.  I see swap go down to zero. So why would my system still exhibit moments of pause and lag? Any idea how I can test or check for a bottleneck?
[18:05] <blsh0p_> anyone know the channel for virtualbox?
[18:05] <Pici> blsh0p_: #vbox
[18:05] <blsh0p_> ok thanks
[18:05] <Pici> Kirill: I'm looking at your issue, not sure what the problem is yet.
[18:06] <pi1> hey guys, i'm on 11.04, my sound is through my hdmi monitor, how do I enable sound from my terminal, so i can hear the irssi "beep" etc? any help greatly appreciated, thanks.
[18:06] <Pici> Kirill: Is this an upgrade or right after an upgrade?
[18:07] <julia> Hello, i use the acer 4810t laptop with ubuntu 11.04 and my mic doesn't work. Please help me to get it working again.
[18:07] <gmaiarodrigo> please anyone?
[18:07] <Kirill> Pici: yeah, part of apt-get dist-upgrade
[18:07] <tera___> g0rby, you back I fixed it?
[18:08] <Pici> Kirill: Please tell me you aren't upgrading from something to natty with that.
[18:08] <daavis> sorry for repeating - Nokia x302  | i want to send files from this phone to my laptop wirelessly [bluetooth? ] |
[18:08] <Kirill> Pici: I am, but I did all the previous steps like search/replace everything in sources to "natty", e tc.
[18:09] <kyle__> How would you enable say, the ati driver, from the ocmmand line
[18:09] <xangua> Kirill: bad steps ;)
[18:09] <Pici> Kirill: Thats not the proper way to upgrade to a new release. You should be using do-release-upgrade  (or update-manager if you prefer the gui) .
[18:09] <Kirill> right... I tried do-release-upgrade, but it hosed my system completely and I had to restore from backup
[18:09] <ActionParsnip> !upgrade
[18:09] <wrtp> dweez: you might be interested to know that my chrome miniaturization problem has now gone away, after restarting.
[18:09] <Kirill> I was following this guide: http://library.linode.com/troubleshooting/upgrade-to-ubuntu-11.04-natty
[18:09] <Pici> Kirill: That file has been migrated from one package to another and apt-get isn't smart enough to handle that on its own. I don't know what to suggest if d-r-u didn't work for you :/
[18:10] <dweez> ah, so your metacity/compiz sort of crashed and you didn't have a taskbar anymore?
[18:10] <dweez> yeah, I got that a lot...made me give up on eyecandy
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> kyle__: i believe there is jockey-text
[18:10] <dweez> glad your thing is resolved though
[18:10] <Dark_Apostrophe> Pici: Apt-get update can't parse sources.list if I add that :/
[18:11] <daavis> sorry for repeating - Nokia x302  | i want to send files from this phone to my laptop wirelessly [bluetooth? ] |
[18:11] <Kirill> Pici: any ideas how to informat apt of this change manually? too late for d-r-u anyway. there must be a way to fix this ridiculous problem
[18:11] <Pici> Dark_Apostrophe: What did you add?
[18:11] <daavis> howto do that?
[18:11] <Dark_Apostrophe> That line, letter by letter
[18:11] <Kirill> Pici: *inform, I mean
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> daavis: have you paired the device?
[18:12] <daavis> ActionParsnip, how?
[18:12] <apokalipse> Hello, I would like to know what to install / use to make my webcam work with flash player ? I sax many solutions and I'm lost. I'm on natty 11.4
[18:12] <Pici> Kirill: I wonder if you install --reinstall both packages if it will work.
[18:12] <flax^_> just noticed abi-2.6.38-11-generic in /boot, what is that? cant find it in grub.cfg
[18:12] <Pici> Dark_Apostrophe: Well, its not something that needs to be added to /etc/apt/sources.list it is its own command.
[18:12] <wildc4rd> evenin all
[18:12] <Kirill> Pici: not working
[18:13] <BryanRuiz> what is ubuntu's "chkconfig" equivelent? || how do change which services start and stop at boot?
[18:13] <ActionParsnip> daavis: run bluetooth-applet and you can use that. Once it's paired you can tell the OS to receive a file then send from the phone
[18:14] <ActionParsnip> !boot | BryanRuiz
[18:14] <Dark_Apostrophe> Pici: I know
[18:14] <Kirill> Pici: it says "trying to overwrite '/etc/init.d/console-setup', which is also in package console-setup 1.57ubuntu20" ... but this file isn't even there
[18:15] <Pici> Kirill: This is really iffy, but you could use dpkg --force-conflicts with the package in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[18:15] <Pici> Dark_Apostrophe: what does lsb_release -sc say?
[18:15] <daavis> ActionParsnip,  applet is allready running - terminal is telling me
[18:15] <daavis> ActionParsnip, what next?
[18:15] <ActionParsnip> Kirill: i also suggest you log a bug to resolve the conflict
[18:15] <Dark_Apostrophe> Pici: natty
[18:16] <Pici> ActionParsnip: He didn't use do-release-upgrade, so it will likely be considered invalid.
[18:16] <MrKeuner> hello, is there a easy and efficient backup system? Hopefully one that might serve win and macos as well?
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> daavis: then on the panel you'll see the bluetooth icon
[18:16] <Dark_Apostrophe> Pici: Wait, think Synaptic might be able to do it
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> Pici: true
[18:16] <Pici> Dark_Apostrophe: Well the command that I gave you shouldn't have added anything to /etc/apt/sources.list it creates its own files in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ :/
[18:17] <daavis> ActionParsnip, there is no bluetooth icon?
[18:17] <BryanRuiz> ActionParsnip: do you know what file bum is editing?
[18:17] <Kirill> Pici: --force-conflicts with what command?
[18:17] <Dark_Apostrophe> Pici: Oh... well, apt threw an error about sources.list :/
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> !backup | MrKeuner
[18:17] <Pici> Kirill: dpkg --force-conflicts -i /var/cache/apt/archives/keyboard-configuration_1.57ubuntu20_all.deb
[18:17] <Kirill> right, that's what I thought; no dice.
[18:17] <LurchiderLurch> Can anyone tell me what the text on top of the stuff to copy & paste means? I have no idea about that: http://olivers.posterous.com/build-xv-on-ubuntu
[18:17] <MrKeuner> ActionParsnip, that should be enough, thanks
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> BryanRuiz: the ones in /etc/rc
[18:18] <m_fulder> hello
[18:18] <m_fulder> :)
[18:18] <m_fulder> while using mount -t <filesystem type> /dev/sda1 /mnt/camera .. will my HDD get formatted :O or just mounted?
[18:18] <kyle__> How do you start up un CLI only mode?  Rescue mode appears to also use a graphic layer (unless my machine is now royally fscked)
[18:18] <Dark_Apostrophe> Pici: Looks like java isn't in the partners repo :/
[18:18] <glebihan> m_fulder, just mounted
[18:18] <Kirill> I think I'll just go ahead and install freebsd. had enough fun with ubuntu for the next few years..
[18:19] <Pici> Dark_Apostrophe: What architecture are you on?
[18:19] <Kingsy> which program do I need to get mp3 player support in ubuntu ?
[18:19] <Pici> Kirill: sorry :/
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> BryanRuiz: /etc/rc.d   not sure bum works fully since the startup has changed a bit
[18:19] <Kirill> Pici: that's alright, not your fault. it's amazing how much of a POS ubuntu is with respect to its installation/package management... epic fail.
[18:19] <glebihan> ActionParsnip, BryanRuiz bum does not work with upstart
[18:19] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: ubuntu-restricted-extras
[18:19] <BryanRuiz> glebihan: do i have upstart?
[18:20] <ActionParsnip> glebihan: didn't think so
[18:20] <BryanRuiz> glebihan: by default
[18:20] <m_fulder> glebihan I know got the mount error "wrong fs type...." .. can I somehow check what my HDD have for fs?
[18:20] <m_fulder> now*
[18:20] <glebihan> BryanRuiz, yes, unless you're running an old version of ubuntu
[18:20] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: thats a ppa right? whaich package?
[18:20] <glebihan> (don't remember exactly when upstart started being default)
[18:21] <glebihan> m_fulder, try "sudo blkid"
[18:21] <j0bi> hello
[18:21] <BryanRuiz> glebihan: how do you go about managing services with upstart running?  i cant believe that ubuntu expects you to go and edit the /etc/rc.*d stuff
[18:21] <julia> Hello, i use the acer 4810t laptop with ubuntu 11.04 and my mic doesn't work. Please help me to get it working again.
[18:22] <ActionParsnip> Kirill: if you use the package manager properly you won't have an issue. Editting the sources.list file is not advised and is what is causing your issues
[18:22] <glebihan> BryanRuiz, upstart scripts are actually in /etc/init, and afaik there is no gui tool to manage thise
[18:22] <glebihan> *those*
[18:22] <m_fulder> glebihan my HDD is not listed there. though it is listed in fdisk -l
[18:22] <j0bi> i am trying to install ubuntu 10.04 server but after the install at the boot it gives me black screen with the cursor blinking and dont do anything. I tried nomodeset still nothing
[18:22] <Kirill> ActionParsnip: cool story, but do-release-upgrade hosed my system earlier, so it looks like it's not as well tested as required. therefore I had to edit the scripts myself. either way, dpkg -i --force-overwrite worked fine. but this is a total pain in the ass and a waste of people's time
[18:23] <j0bi> can someone pls help me
[18:23] <glebihan> m_fulder, ok could you pastebin the output of "fdisk -l" then ?
[18:23] <magnus> hi I installed an apache server on my ubuntu, and followed the guide I saw on ubuntu.com, and no I dont understand a shit... I cant see things like <?php $txt="Hello World!"; $x=16; ?>
[18:23] <BryanRuiz> glebihan: hm i dont see apache or nginx in that lsit
[18:23] <magnus> can anybody tell me why?
[18:23] <ActionParsnip> Kirill: there is a reason why the upgrade docs DON'T say to edit the file. There is a correct way to do it. You have caused the problem, not ubuntu
[18:23] <m_fulder> glebihan: http://pastebin.com/WA14SNgB
[18:23] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: yeah its a ppa.. I have added it.. but which package do I need?
[18:23] <m_fulder> glebihan I want the "Extended" HDD
[18:24] <glebihan> BryanRuiz, apache still uses Sys V Init, not sure about nginx
[18:24] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: it's not a ppa, its a package
[18:24] <Kingsy> really? oh
[18:24] <BryanRuiz> !Sys V Init
[18:24] <asteve> i would like to use cyrus-sasl for postfix sasl auth and i cannot determine the package for ubuntu 10.04; does anyone have insight?
[18:24] <Kirill> ActionParsnip: are you joking? what part of "do-release-upgrade failed" do you not understand? I only edited the files after it failed... ffs
[18:25] <glebihan> m_fulder, well there is no "real" partition there, you have to create partitions inside an extended partition
[18:25] <glebihan> BryanRuiz, Sys V init is the old init process
[18:25] <BryanRuiz> glebihan: yep got it
[18:25] <BryanRuiz> thx
[18:25] <ActionParsnip> Kirill: then you should have troubleshooted the issue rather than performing steps which will break your OS
[18:25] <glebihan> BryanRuiz, upstart still handles the scripts written for that system
[18:26] <j0bi> can somebody help
[18:26] <glebihan> BryanRuiz, and btw bum can still manage those ones
[18:26] <Kirill> ActionParsnip: already did, it's working fine now. thanks for nothing
[18:26] <BryanRuiz> cool thx glebihan
[18:26] <m_fulder> glebihan so you mean it doesn't have any data on that disk at all i.e. it has not been formatted at all :O..I think that's an external USB HDD
[18:26] <kaellan> how do i alow stuff to be active and use cpu etc in background ?
[18:26] <BryanRuiz> glebihan: now i got to get bum to run by command line ;)
[18:26] <BryanRuiz> s/by command line/ncurses or something/
[18:27] <j0bi> ubuntu 10.04 server black screen - nomodeset still not booting into os
[18:27] <glebihan> m_fulder, it's not an external HDD, it's on the same hard drive as your system
[18:27] <glebihan> BryanRuiz, but bum is a gui
[18:27] <ActionParsnip> j0bi: remove the boot options: quiet splash  see where it hangs
[18:27] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: sorry to be a pain in the a** but I just installed that package.. I don't see anything different in the menus and plugging in the mp3 player triggers nothing.. whats next?
[18:28] <ksull72487> remember the old weather icons and system meeters fromthe earlier releases is there a newer form like widgets and can you still get them through repositories
[18:28] <glebihan> m_fulder, oh sorry misread your paste...
[18:28] <j0bi> ActionParsnip:  how to do that ? can you show me the road :)
[18:28] <glebihan> m_fulder, there is actually a partition inside that extended partition, and it's the swap one
[18:29] <glebihan> m_fulder, you have no partitions left to mount there
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> Kingsy: i thought you wanted to play mp3s. Oh well. If you run:  sudo fdisk -l    do you see the partition?
[18:29] <j0bi> pls pls ActionParsnip can you guide me
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> j0bi: its the same as when you added nomodeset, you just delete the options
[18:30] <m_fulder> glebihan I don't :o so how do I reach that HDD?
[18:30] <j0bi> ok
[18:30] <Kingsy> ActionParsnip: no
[18:31] <Kingsy> well put it this way, nothing else is added or removed from that list when the player is plugged in or npt
[18:31] <Kingsy> not
[18:31] <glebihan> m_fulder, what hdd ? there's only one listed there
[18:31] <qin> Kingsy: tail -f /var/log/dmesg and plug cycle.
[18:31] <Linda> i try to make ubuntu-es a favorite tab on x-chat and no susseded,,i rigth clicked on the tab and click on add as favorite,,restart and nothing happend

[18:44] <p1l0t> Why does a terminal window pop up for a split-second then disappear before I can read anything when I click on the Access-Your-Private-Data.destop shortcut?
[18:44] <p1l0t> Do I have to 'unhide' the file?
[18:44] <p1l0t> I made a backup of my encrypted home directory. I am trying to decrypt it but it keeps saying error file not found... but I can see .Private when I use ls -a
[18:44] <p1l0t> I am trying to Access my encrypted home folder.. Its a backup that I copied. I know the passphrase but I don't which cypher to use.
[18:45] <triptec> I just did a make install and installed a library, libspotify, but do I need to update some path or something?
[18:45] <triptec> it's not found
[18:45] <LurchiderLurch> Can anyone tell me what the text on top of the stuff to copy & paste means? I have no idea about that: http://olivers.posterous.com/build-xv-on-ubuntu
[18:46] <triptec> anyone?
[18:46] <qin> Kingsy: Removable... under: system > settings > Pref...
[18:47] <glebihan> triptec, what is "not found" ? what command gives you that message ?
[18:47] <v1k1ng> i've downloaded all the packages needed to upgrade but now i'm getting this error E: libpam0g: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
[18:47] <v1k1ng> it's the same error whether using synaptic package manager or apt-get
[18:47] <triptec> I'm importing it in python
[18:47] <Younder> what does bluetooth cost?
[18:47] <triptec> glebihan above
[18:48] <p1l0t> Should I be working out of /home/.ecryptfs/ instead?
[18:48] <triptec> glebihan, I had the same problem last time but i don't remember what I did to fix it and i know it took me a long time to figure out
[18:48] <m_fulder> glebihan will check that thanks
[18:49] <qin> Younder: Meaning?
[18:49] <ax> anyone aware of a linux distro for the develomentally disabled?
[18:49] <glebihan> triptec, you'll have to install pyspotify too : http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyspotify/1.3
[18:49] <MeirD> Hey! I use Apache with mod_fcgid . I can see that a process of the fastCGI is running as a daemon.. How can I bring it to the foreground in the terminal?
[18:49] <Younder> qin, local network one machine
[18:49] <v1k1ng> Errors were encountered while processing: man-db libpam0g flashplugin-installer
[18:49] <p1l0t> YES
[18:50]  * p1l0t
[18:50] <p1l0t> :D
[18:50] <keithb> LurchiderLurch: do you mean the lines where the first one starts --- ?
[18:50] <axisys> how do I open a vsd file to view .. dont care about editing it
[18:51] <DIL> cat?
[18:51] <v1k1ng> this is bullshit man, bandwidth here in zimbabwe costs about $100 USD per gig, so i spent about fifty bucks downloading packages only to have the upgrade fail?
[18:51] <triptec> glebihan, hehe yeah, I'm updating it, but i forgot to run ldconfig;)
[18:51] <qin> Younder: Bluetooth is re-adaptation of IR (like your TV remote) and cost zilch, but is pretty much useless.
[18:51] <triptec> list
[18:51] <h00k> v1k1ng: Please keep the language family-friendly
[18:52] <LurchiderLurch> keithb, exactly. I do not know, which file I have to edit, where it is or where I have to edit it etc. I run all upper commands successfully..
[18:52] <pmackinney> admin question - in Ubuntu 10.4, my root account doesn't get any mail (except when I test sending mail). shouldn't the root account get daily syslog summaries?
[18:52] <Myrtti> v1k1ng: you don't necessarily need to redownload the packages tho
[18:52] <keithb> LurchiderLurch: you copy that whole section and put in a file called Makefile.ubuntu.diff
[18:53] <axisys> DIL: that was to me?
[18:53] <DIL> yes
[18:53] <LurchiderLurch> keithb, but where does this file have to be?
[18:53] <v1k1ng> Myrtti no, but i have no idea how to fix this
[18:54] <keithb> LurchiderLurch: that file should be in the directory where you are building xv
[18:54] <glebihan> pmackinney, by default, no
[18:54] <Myrtti> v1k1ng: the usual way of trying to fix the situation is "sudo apt-get -f install"
[18:54] <LurchiderLurch> keithb, (I cannot find the folder, where xv is built *shame*)
[18:54] <axisys> DIL: cat a visio file wont work
[18:54] <LurchiderLurch> keithb, I followed every Detail of the instructions.
[18:54] <DIL> try open office
[18:55] <pmackinney> thanks glebihan. is there a standard way to enable that or do I just plow into syslog docs and hack my own solution?
[18:55] <v1k1ng> Myrtti tried it but got the same result
[18:55] <axisys> DIL: did not work
[18:55] <p1l0t> IM IN
[18:55] <keithb> LurchiderLurch: you created it in the previous commands, try: locate xv-build
[18:55] <v1k1ng> is this a common thing with the current ubuntu release?
[18:55] <Myrtti> v1k1ng: do you know how to use a pastebin? you could pastebin the complete error message
[18:55] <glebihan> pmackinney, no standard way that I know of, not sure you'll find anything about it in the syslog documentation either, I guess you could use a con job to achieve that
[18:56] <glebihan> *cron* job
[18:57] <p1l0t> Had to open /home/.ecryptfs/user/.ecryptfs/wrapped-passphrase with the unwrapper the shortcut links were making a fail condition for no such file
[18:57] <pmackinney> glebihan: thanks!
[18:57] <RedViper> I have installed a game in my machine using wine, the game is Red Alert 3. When I clicked it to run the program, this error came up: Please install at least one language pack. What do I do to get this game working? I have Ubuntu 11.04. . . . . .
[18:57] <glebihan> pmackinney, you're welcome
[18:57] <kyle__> I tried to remove the proprietary ATI driver, rebooted and my screen is gobldygook.  Did an apt-get install fglrx, rebooted, still gobldygook, but sshing in the X log says I'm using fglrx.  Tried running jockey-text, and it returns with no arguments.  Any help anyone can suggest?
[18:57] <kyle__> returns with no output rather.
[18:59] <LurchiderLurch> keithb, root@stefan-HP-625:~# locate xv-build
[18:59] <LurchiderLurch> root@stefan-HP-625:~#  It does not find anything.
[19:00] <keithb> LurchiderLurch: then you did not follow the previous commands correctly, start again
[19:00] <LurchiderLurch> keithb, in the command line I am on root@stefan-HP-625:~/xv-build/xv-3.10a#
[19:00] <MrCollins> I am running ubuntu 11.04 on my toshiba laptop. How do I setup a script to automount a cd/dvd and display a launcher on the desktop so that I may access its contents without typing in commands everytime, and what are the commands to mount the volume?
[19:00] <splitpaw-mobile> RedViper, check http://www.steamgameslinux.com/command-conquer-red-alert-3/
[19:00] <keithb> LurchiderLurch: OK, so that is the one you want
[19:00] <v1k1ng> Myrtti http://pastebin.com/0qARUW1u
[19:01] <keithb> LurchiderLurch: the locate database had not been refreshed
[19:01] <LurchiderLurch> keithb, I cannot see the file in nautilus. This is weired.
[19:02] <keithb> LurchiderLurch: have you copied and pasted the text into the diff file?
[19:02] <Myrtti> v1k1ng: well that's something I've not seen before
[19:03] <fishscene> MrCollins: It doesn't automatically show up on your desktop? Or are you using the server-version of Ubuntu? (Terminal only)
[19:03] <MrCollins> fishscene, I am using the Desktop version
[19:03] <glebihan> v1k1ng, did you kill an apt process while it was running ?
[19:03] <MrCollins> I am using the unity gui
[19:03] <fishscene> Yes, it should automatically show up for you on the desktop.
[19:03] <LurchiderLurch> keithb, no, I am not even sure if it exists. should I "gedit ~/xv-build/Makefile.ubuntu.diff"
[19:04] <MrCollins> fishscene, it does not show up automatically
[19:04] <v1k1ng> glebihan i think i may have done that during the first attempt
[19:04] <Myrtti> v1k1ng: https://wiki.edubuntu.org/DebuggingInstallationIssues#DbDriver_.22config.22_is_locked - might have something
[19:04] <fishscene> MrCollins: Have you tried placing another cd/DVD in the drive? Maybe it's having trouble with the CD/DVD..
[19:04] <glebihan> v1k1ng, ok then run "sudo rm /var/cache/debconf/*.dat && sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a"
[19:04] <MrCollins> fishscene, good point... let me try it
[19:04] <keithb> LurchiderLurch: gedit ~/xv-build/xv-3.10a/Makefile.ubuntu.diff
[19:05] <MrCollins> fishscene, oops... it works... sorry for bothering you
[19:05] <MrCollins> it is a bad disc
[19:05] <doxin> is there some way to fool the installer on thinking there's another operating system installed? i'm doing a tutorial on multiboot, but i'd rather not have to install winblows. haven't got enough free diskspace.
[19:05] <RedViper> I have installed a game in my machine using wine, the game is Red Alert 3. When I clicked it to run the program, this error came up: Please install at least one language pack. What do I do to get this game working? I have Ubuntu 11.04. . . . . .
[19:06] <RedViper> Can someone help?
[19:06] <jpw1391> in python: I finally finished a very preliminary script that is supposed to move my files into folders by YEAR. However, my last function move_pics just prints out a dictionary from one of the previous functions. Can someone let me know what I'm doing wrong: http://sprunge.us/KbdY
[19:06] <glebihan> RedViper, a quick google search lets me assume you're trying to run a cracked game. If that's the case, you won't get help here...
[19:07] <v1k1ng> glebihan will that delete all the packages i downloaded?
[19:07] <fishscene> MrCollins: Don't worry about it! I'm here to help and seek assistance :)
[19:07] <glebihan> v1k1ng, no
[19:07] <MrCollins> fishscene, thank you.
[19:07] <LurchiderLurch> keithb, ~/xv-build/Makefile.ubuntu.diff does not exist should I touch it?
[19:07] <fishscene> Speaking of which... anyone have experience with formulating commands for VLC? I'm trying to re-stream a stream and I can't seem to figure it out.
[19:07] <glebihan> v1k1ng, only some caches files used by dpkg, the second command will rebuild those
[19:07] <fishscene> err.... I need to do this in terminal. I can stream it just fine in the GUI.
[19:08] <RedViper> glebihan:  Then where will I get help? If you suggest #winehq, then take a look in the channel and let me know if you see people to help?
[19:08] <keithb> LurchiderLurch: You can do, but make sure it goes in the xv-3.10a directory
[19:08] <usr13> fishscene: Stream it from where?
[19:08] <LurchiderLurch> keithb, even /home/myname/xv-b TAB does not elongate the directory.
[19:08] <fishscene> An online radio
[19:08] <LurchiderLurch> keithb, thanks, I will try
[19:08] <fishscene> I've already called and confirmed that I can do this.
[19:08] <MrCollins> I do have another question, I have a hp 8500 printer on the network that I know works, for some reason I cant seem to find it... Is there a way for Ubuntu to auto search for my printer (the way windows does) so that each time my router renews ip's, I do not have to re-establish a connection?
[19:08] <Myrtti> RedViper: in general, pirated/cracked software is not supported anywhere.
[19:09] <usr13> fishscene: Just right click on the stream link and choose "Save Link As"
[19:09] <glebihan> RedViper, if you're trying to run a cracked game, you probably won't find a irc channel to help you
[19:09] <v1k1ng> try the 2600 server
[19:09] <glebihan> RedViper, anyway definitely not here
[19:09] <v1k1ng> maybe Redviper
[19:09] <keithb> LurchiderLurch: did you create the directory as root in your home? If so, you won't have access under your normal account
[19:09] <fishscene> usr13: Pardon my miscommunication. I can re-stream it just fine using the GUI, but it kicks me off after about 12 hours or so. I'm trying to figure out a way to auto-restart the stream (which can't be done in the GUI)
[19:10] <RedViper> v1k1ng:  Maybe?
[19:10] <Lucidd> Hey
[19:10] <RedViper> glebihan: Thanks for not helping :D
[19:11] <v1k1ng> redviper maybe the 2600 irc server will help, i don't know
[19:11] <MrCollins> RedViper, no one has to help you, assuming so is arrogant.
[19:11] <glebihan> RedViper, there are rules in those channels, and not helping with cracked software is one of them
[19:11] <usr13> fishscene: Oh, well, I don't know about that.  It's going to break the connection at the server after a certain length of time and I don't suppose there's anything you can do about it.
[19:11] <SavageWolf> Wait, does 11.10 have something like gnome-panel?
[19:11] <splitpaw-mobile> !winetricks |RedViper
[19:11] <fishscene> usr13: The ultimate goal would be to start the re-broadcast at 6am, then let it run until the server kicks me off.
[19:12] <v1k1ng> glebihan that command worked, thanks
[19:12] <glebihan> v1k1ng, you're welcome
[19:12] <v1k1ng> just had to apt-get upgrade again
[19:12] <v1k1ng> after
[19:12] <usr13> fishscene: Maybe you should use a cron job?
[19:12] <fishscene> usr13: Correct. But I first have to put together a bash script to connect to the stream and re-broadcast it internally.
[19:13] <glebihan> v1k1ng, yes that's normal, my command was just to restore dpkg's state
[19:14] <fishscene> Technically, I'm not even sure if I should be asking for VLC help in here, so it would be awesome if someone who is knowledgeable could join me in the dead VLC channel or PM me. :)
[19:14] <MrCollins> fishscene, I have been a networking/pc tech for many years, would love to 'help' you in anyway I could...
[19:15] <MrCollins> 2 heads are better than one ;)
[19:15] <BluesKaj> ask away if you're running ubuntu . fishscene
[19:15] <fishscene> ah ok
[19:15] <fishscene> Thanks for clarification
[19:15] <fishscene> Let me assemble my information here..
[19:16] <MrCollins> did anyone see my question earlier?
[19:16] <Kingsy> qinns: is it you I spoke to before?
[19:17] <BluesKaj> MrCollins, just got here , so I missed it
[19:17] <MrCollins> ok im not trying to spam, here it is again, thank you BluesKaj
[19:18] <MrCollins> I do have another question, I have a hp 8500 printer on the network that I know works, for some reason I cant seem to find it... Is there a way for Ubuntu to auto search for my printer (the way windows does) so that each time my router renews ip's, I do not have to re-establish a connection?
[19:18] <agentile> hello, I installed ubuntu within windows 7 a while back and when I didn't allocate as much space to ubuntu as I probably should have. ubuntu is now my primary os and I would like to give ubuntu more disk space ... the problem is that my windows 7 is toast, bad things happened. Since I don't really care about windows anymore and can still access files from /host and and such, I'm wondering how I might free up disk space for ubuntu
[19:18] <agentile> since I can't go into windows 7 anymore and do any management there. will gparted help me with my scenario? I don't want to reformat to fix the dual boot and kill ubuntu by killing the problematic windows.  Just got it working.
[19:19] <triptec> MrCollins, i usually run nmap to get the ip of the devices on my subnet
[19:19] <MrCollins> fishscene,  what did u do
[19:19] <Kingsy> brb
[19:19] <MrCollins> triptec, nmap? how is that initiated?
[19:19] <fishscene> Turns out I was putting the input stream on the wrong side of the VLC command
[19:19] <MrCollins> sudo nmap ?
[19:19] <willhotmess> any good channels?
[19:20] <willhotmess> on any network
[19:20] <triptec> MrCollins, sudo nmap -O <IP_ADDRESS>-255
[19:20] <fishscene> Running this in terminall will automatically stream KLOVE radio to anyone who connects to http port 8080 on your computer: vlc --sout "#transcode{acodec=vorb,ab=128,channels=2,samplerate=44100}:std{access=http,mux=ogg,dst=<IP_ADDRESS>:8080}" mms://wm-live.world.mii-streaming.net/live/klove/high_01
[19:20] <fishscene> Thanks guys!
[19:20] <MrCollins> fishscene I am a Christian myself
[19:20] <rocket16> Hey guys, I installed Macbuntu on my ubuntu 11.04 (classic session) laptop with 3 GB RAM. Everything is well, but recently I noticed that after I log in, the desktop takes about 40 seconds to show. Is there a way to speed it up?
[19:21] <MrCollins> I used to work for The Hook WJYF before it became KLOVE ;)
[19:21] <BluesKaj> agentile, if you used wubi, you have to do a clean ubuntu install on it's own partition, but gparted acn help you that , i would just create a new partition table if you don't need to save any data
[19:21] <MrCollins> triptec, thank you!
[19:21] <triptec> np
[19:21] <fishscene> MrCollins: Nice.
[19:21] <MrCollins> what is the -0 flag?
[19:21] <triptec> like get the os or something
[19:22] <agentile> BluesKaj: ya i have too much important stuff on my ubuntu install and not enough time currently to deal with a fresh ubuntu install
[19:22] <triptec> usually tells me like "Canon" or what ever
[19:22] <Kingsy> anyone had problems getting a mp3 player to mount or even be viewable when you plug it in? qin was saying something about an option in System -> Prefs.. but I cant find anything
[19:22] <agentile> was hoping with gparted i could say ... gimme space from the hosted win7 partition and give to ubuntu partition
[19:23] <triptec> Kingsy, I've had probs with ipods
[19:23] <Kingsy> triptec: how do you get em to show up?
[19:23] <Kingsy> my kindle was doing the same.. but all of sudden its just popped up
[19:23] <Kingsy> still no mp2 player tho
[19:23] <Lucidd> I am running a Sony Vaio XPCM111AX and cannot seem to connect to a wireless network for Ubuntu 10.04.  So I get the network icon to add a hidden network but it will not allow me to view any networks in area....  My broadcast ID is turned on and I can see other networks on my desk top...
[19:24] <keithb> agentile you should be able to reformat the win7 partition and then mount it as filespace under ubuntu
[19:24] <Lucidd> Any ideas?
[19:24] <Lucidd> Just installed
[19:24] <triptec> Kingsy, if u pop it into a win system does it come up as removable media?
[19:24] <agentile> keithb: but ubuntu being on that win7 partition would mean killing ubuntu, no
[19:24] <Lucidd> test
[19:24] <Kingsy> triptec: ummm not sure.. I don't think so
[19:25] <Kingsy> triptec: it appears as a device
[19:25] <MrCollins> how do I get nmaps output to a file
[19:25] <keithb> agentile: so you don't have ubuntu on its own partition?
[19:25] <triptec> Kingsy, then I think you might have a harder time getting it to just popup
[19:25] <Kingsy> triptec: well I don't need it to popup.. I really just need to access it
[19:25] <MrCollins> would it be sudo nmap -O <IP_ADDRESS>-255 > nmaplog
[19:26] <triptec> MrCollins dont nmap... > nmap.out work
[19:26] <triptec> ?
[19:26] <triptec> yeah it should work i think
[19:27] <Demon002> Has anyone managed a 11.04 Wubi install on Raid, if so do you know where the tutorial can be found?
[19:27] <triptec> Kingsy, as in get/put files with it?
[19:28] <agentile> keithb: hmm, maybe i do... its on sda, /host is on sdb ... sorry im not too familiar wtih this stuff. sda has 1 2 and 3 ... but im honestly confused at what im seeing vs df -h
[19:28] <Kingsy> triptec: yup
[19:28] <triptec> Kingsy, if it would be recognized as a file system it would pop up... sorry
[19:29] <agentile> what is /dev/loop0 referring to in regard to the partitions i have
[19:29] <Demon002> agentile sd(a-z) are your physical drive. The numbers following are your partitions
[19:29] <Kingsy> damn... ok
[19:30] <keithb> agentile: do you have win7 mounted under ubuntu? df should tell you
[19:30] <Demon002> Has anyone managed a 11.04 Wubi install on Raid, if so do you know where the tutorial can be found?
[19:30] <waza-ari> Hey all, when programming with Java, is there a way to have this "popups" (dunno how they are really called) in the upper edge of the unity desktop providing some information?
[19:31] <SavageWolf> Aren't they a part of the GtK windowset thing?
[19:31] <keithb> agentile: loop0 means you are probably mounting a virtual hard disk stored on the win7 partition
[19:32] <keithb> agentile: when you start ubuntu, do you have to start win7 first?
[19:32] <agentile> http://privatepaste.com/588c2b0e7b
[19:32] <glebihan> waza-ari, those popups are provided by the libnotify library
[19:32] <agentile> keithb:  no
[19:32] <agentile> i have the option from the boot menu
[19:32] <agentile> keithb: yes that sounds right
[19:33] <agentile> is there a way for me to free up space on that virtual hd on the win7 partition
[19:33] <glebihan> waza-ari, there seems to be bindings for this in java-gnome : http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/
[19:33] <agentile> via gparted or otherwise
[19:33] <white_magic> is it possible to run a 32bit binary in a 64bit linux environment?
[19:33] <p1l0t> Does encrypting a file condense it? As in make its file size smaller? Or the opposite? Or neither?
[19:34] <keithb> agentile: pastebin the output of: mount
[19:34] <SavageWolf> White, yes, but a package needs to be installed.
[19:34] <white_magic> p110t: probably doesn't have a huge effect on file size
[19:34] <splnet> white_magic: yes no problem
[19:34] <waza-ari> glebihan: i'm using unity, not gnome. do you thing this also works?
[19:34] <maalac> firefox is crusing using jAVA ? any ideas on how to solve this ?
[19:34] <glebihan> waza-ari, unity *is* gnome
[19:34] <SavageWolf> White, ia32-libs seems to be it.
[19:35] <agentile> keithb: http://privatepaste.com/1db536f00b
[19:35] <white_magic> splnet: well i'm trying to run a .bin file.. i tried './my.bin' and I got 'bash: no such file or directory'
[19:35] <glebihan> waza-ari, so yes it should work (though I've never used those libraries in Java)
[19:35] <splnet> white_magic: try strace file.bin
[19:35] <qin> white_magic: chmod it first?
[19:35] <waza-ari> glebihan: hm, okay... i didnt really care about that up to now...
[19:35] <white_magic> SavageWolf, ok i'm gonna get them with apt-get. I hope that makes it work
[19:35] <white_magic> qin: tried it
[19:35] <waza-ari> glebihan: okay, i'll just give it a try, thanks
[19:36] <glebihan> waza-ari, you're welcome
[19:36] <Demon002> Has anyone managed a 11.04 Wubi install on Raid, if so do you know where the tutorial can be found?
[19:36] <SavageWolf> What a counter-intuitive error message...
[19:36] <SavageWolf> I need to go! Sorry!
[19:37] <Label> Can anyone tell me how to get to the default networking GUI through terminal command?
[19:37] <BluesKaj> Demon002, ..dunno why anyone would put a wubi install on windows on raid , whynot just give ubuntu it's own partition ?
[19:38] <maalac> BluesKaj: Demon002 yes i agree..
[19:38] <keithb> agentile: if you look in /host does that contain the win7 files?
[19:38] <agentgasmask> Hi. There is no scanner group on the server I'm trying to share a scanner on. However I see it on other systems. Is it important? If so, how can I set it up? Just an: addgroup scanner?
[19:38] <Demon002> I am simply just attempting a side by side install, I am trying to avoid messing with the raid itself.
[19:39] <agentile> keithb: correct.
[19:40] <Demon002> Blueskaj, besides partitioning a Raid sounds like a pain...
[19:40] <BluesKaj> wubi isn't the way to do a sisde by side install , Demon002
[19:40] <keithb> agentile: well /host has 192G free if that is enough you can use it, most convenient way would be to simlink it into the / filesystem
[19:40] <samuel_> is there torrent client in ubuntu that support automatic shutdown when download is complete just like bittorrent
[19:41] <BluesKaj> wubi installs ubuntu inside windows , Demon002
[19:41] <Demon002> Blueskaj, Says Install Ubuntu from Windows.. Sounds like what I am looking for...
[19:41] <alxyon> Does anyone know how to get past bradford security at my uni? I cant even log onto their network on linux.
[19:42] <agentile> keithb: sounds like a plan, so i just need to symlink /host to / ?
[19:42] <Demon002> BluesKaj, I see what you're saying I am not being as literal as I should be.. I know it is installed inside Windows...
[19:43] <BluesKaj> ok, then raid in this case is immaterial, Demon002
[19:43] <Demon002> BluesKaj, No it isn't...
[19:43] <keithb> agentile: no symlink /host to /somewhere, if you want it in your home dir it would be /home/username/somename
[19:43] <Label> Does anyone know the terminal command to open up the networking GUI?
[19:44] <Demon002> BluesKaj, just trust me, ubuntu doesn't recognise that Windows is in the same Raid disk and wants to write over the entire 1Tb array.
[19:44] <agentile> keithb: and the ubuntu will magically incorporate in that free space eh
[19:44] <BluesKaj> ok Demon002 , then you're not using wubi
[19:45] <Demon002> BluesKaj, When I reboot into Ubuntu it doesn't allow for correct installation, it flounders... Yeah I am...
[19:45] <glebihan> Label, what networking gui exactly ? the one that pops up when you click "edit connections" on the network manager applet ?
[19:45] <Demon002> BluesKaj, I installed Wubi in windows, it asks for a reboot, I do so and boot into Ubuntu.. and then I get floudered with errors and am told it was unable to install
[19:45] <keithb> agentile: exactly, there is another option which is to change the mount point /host to /somewhere-else which you can do in /etc/fstab but you really need to get that right
[19:46] <BluesKaj> Demon002, it doesn't matter , I wouldn't know how to help you anyway ...maybe someone else can , but what you're doing is rather convoluted. You'd be better to try a virtual install
[19:46] <BluesKaj> !VB
[19:46] <agentile> keithb: alright, thanks for your help
[19:46] <keithb> agentile: np
[19:46] <BluesKaj> !VM | Demon002
[19:47] <Demon002> BluesKaj, I have it installed on a vm already...
[19:47] <Label> glebihan: yes
[19:47] <glebihan> Label, then it should be "nm-connection-editor"
[19:47] <Label> Thank you
[19:48] <glebihan> Label, you're welcome
[19:48] <BluesKaj> ok Demon002 , nevermind ... I guess what you're doing is beyond my help :)
[19:48] <aaas> to dual boot or virtualbox..im thinking virtualbox... is speed the primary reason for dualboot over virtualbox these days?
[19:48] <Demon002> BluesKaj, I appreciate the offer though =)
[19:49] <Demon002> Anyone have a tutorial for Win7 | Wubi 11.04 install on a RAID 0?
[19:50] <aaas> Demon002 I heard there is almost no reason to RAID0, but thats just what i heard
[19:50] <ratc> I got a strange problem, I configured my windows harddisk to mount at boot (in fstab) but it only mounts 50% of the time. so 1 boot 1 time, error, boot next time, all fine, boot again error etc...etc...   Anybody know why a think like this could happen ?
[19:51] <TheMatrix3000> if i place a script in /etc/cron.weekly/
[19:51] <Demon002> aas I have 2 drives and decided to try it for giggles.
[19:51] <TheMatrix3000> it will then run as a cron job weekly right?
[19:52] <samuel_> aaas beside that maybe you try this andlinux
[19:52] <BluesKaj> Demon002, if you already have ubuntu in VM . why wubi ?
[19:52] <samuel_> here is the link http://www.linuxtoday.com/infrastructure/2011083000441RVSW
[19:53] <aaas> Demon002 but you'll not do it again right, you get a small speed, possibly less space, and if one fails so does the other..i looked into it, but i dont think it's worth ti
[19:54] <nsd_> I'm trying to use an e-mail client with my college e-mail account, and I was able to find the SMTP server with nslookup, but I don't know how to find the pop/imap (I'm not sure what they're using) server. Is that something I won't be able to find with any tools? (Aside from using nmap, but I understand that's frowned upon)
[19:54] <Demon002> aaas, nah next attempt will prolly be 0+1
[19:54] <Label> I'm having an irritating problem. My pc gets kicked off the wireless connection as I'm trying to login to world of warcraft, two other computers on the wireless connection are fine. But I cannot seem to get back on the network with my laptop... I've tried restarting the network with /etc/init.d/networking restart and it says its successful and all but it's not connecting. In the GUI it says
[19:54] <Label> last used 20 min ago
[19:54] <aaas> samuel_ yes that looks interesting but ive tried it.. you dont get all the programs with ubuntu
[19:54] <glebihan> TheMatrix3000, that's right
[19:55] <Demon002> aas =) It is all a learning experience
[19:55] <basso> ubuntu beta tomorrow?
[19:55] <samuel_> nsd try to telnet to pop3 port
[19:55] <aaas> nsd_ the best way is just ask them or try thunderbird 5 its getting pretty good at guessing and they have a pretty big database
[19:55] <glebihan> TheMatrix3000, male sure it is executable though
[19:55] <nsd_> samuel_ I've tried every port and every conceivable domain name
[19:56] <aaas> nsd_ actually i think outlook has something like that too.. you can just use it to grab the info
[19:56] <nsd_> aaas: Is Thunderbird 5 available as a .deb from mozilla.com?
[19:56] <nsd_> aaas: If that doesn't work, I'll just e-mail the admin
[19:56] <samuel_> maybe it using secure pop3
[19:56] <aaas> nsd_  it should be in the repos
[19:56] <bluemix> Hello
[19:56] <bluemix> how are you all? :)
[19:57] <aaas> nsd_ no need to download from mozilla
[19:57] <bluemix> I'm from Iraq, any one from there :)
[19:57] <nsd_> aaas: Which repos? I'm using 11.04 and all I get is version 3...
[19:57] <nsd_> samuel_: Believe me, I've tried
[19:57] <aaas> nsd_ if its a department email it might not be published online, but I find it strange that you couldnt find a college help page wich tells you the port/server address
[19:58] <aaas> nsd_  well then you probably have to download it, but you shouldnt' have to compile it.. but i dont think it's a deb
[19:58] <aaas> nsd_ been a while for me
[19:58] <aaas> nsd_ I use it in windows
[19:58] <TheMatrix3000> glebihan: awesome yea, no doubt, thank you
[19:58] <glebihan> nsd_, there's a ppa with thunderbird 5 : ppa:mozillateam/thunderbird-stable
[19:58] <glebihan> TheMatrix3000, you're welcome
[19:58] <nsd_> glebihan: Thanks, I'll use that
[19:58] <Demon002> Anyone have a tutorial for Win7 | Wubi 11.04 install on a RAID 0?
[19:59] <glebihan> nsd_, no sorry it's thunderbird 6 actually
[20:00] <aaas> nsd_ glebihan 6 is what i meant they are moving so fast
[20:00] <winut> its called shredder if you want the nightly version!
[20:00] <nsd_> glebihan: Oh, well that's even better! I just would like the latest; according to aaas it's become very good at guessing server connection info
[20:00] <nsd_> Aren't they hoping to hit 8 by the end of the year?
[20:00] <aaas> nsd_ you might have to fool with it esp if its a department email server, if it's a main university server it's more likely
[20:00] <aaas> nsd_ you have sntp but not imap?
[20:00] <nsd_> aaas: Yes
[20:01] <winut> seems like they are making new verisions for the sake of it! cant see many differences between the last versions
[20:01] <aaas> nsd_ whats the smtp start with?  smtp, portal, mail?
[20:01] <winut> same with firefox
[20:01] <nsd_> aaas: It's unusual; it's psig followed by a number
[20:01] <nsd_> aaas: They have multiple (I guess load balanced)
[20:01] <aaas> nsd_ oh jeez ok
[20:02] <aaas> nsd_ doesnt sound like they manage it very well ;)... thunderbird might help you... if not just sending an email to them real quick is the best way.. they dont' have a help page?
[20:02] <nsd_> aaas: There's a help page, but it only says how to use the web client; nothing else.  I have it! (I think)
[20:07] <aaas> nsd_ nice
[20:07] <BluesKaj> fishscene, if you use sudo to open some apps like synaptic will stay open. usually apps that require root permissions will afaik
[20:07] <BarkingFish> ubuntu_new, In htop, what status is it showing? Dormant, Sleeping, Zombified?
[20:08] <aaas> nsd_ did thunderbird actually find such an obscure address?
[20:08] <glebihan> ubuntu_new, is it still running or is it a zombie/defunct process ?
[20:08] <schredder> join #ubuntu-desktop
[20:08] <fishscene> I'm going to test my cronjob with the & disown command
[20:08] <jadahl_> are there any guides on how to debug suspend/resume? my laptop suspends, but resume results in regular boot
[20:08] <dweez> hmm, not sure than.  I know it sucks to say, but have you tried restarting the box?
[20:08] <nsd_> aaas: No, after a bit of googling I found a help page telling how to use some obscure online version of outlook hosted at "webmail.", so I tried telnetting into that
[20:08] <schredder> d'oh
[20:08] <BarkingFish> schredder, try that with a / in front of it :)
[20:08] <ubuntu_new> BarkingFish: glebihan I think it's zombie where do I look in htop
[20:09] <schredder> BarkingFish, the hand is faster than the eye, hehe
[20:09] <Demon002> ubuntu_new is the process in D state?
[20:09] <glebihan> ubuntu_new, not sure where you can see this in htop... ps -fp PID should show you that
[20:09] <aaas> nsd_ even if telnet doesnt work you can try it once i have the address i usually just mess around with auth/login/ports until it works
[20:10] <nsd_> aaas: Yeah, I'm no stranger to messing with this sort of thing either. Thanks for the Thunderbird suggestion though
[20:10] <BarkingFish> I use top from the cli this end, and normally it's under a column marked S
[20:10] <aaas> nsd_ well hopefully you get it working
[20:10] <ubuntu_new> Demon002: glebihan only UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
[20:10] <aaas> nsd_ and hopefully you're using imap
[20:10] <nsd_>  aaas: thankfully it is
[20:10] <aaas> nsd_ cool
[20:10] <glebihan> ubuntu_new, are you sure you typed the correct PID ?
[20:11] <ubuntu_new> glebihan: Yes I checked it 3 times :\
[20:11] <fishscene> No luck. It is executing my script, but the & or & disown aren't keeping vlc alive.
[20:11] <Demon002> ubuntu_new can you tell me the state of the process please?
[20:11] <BarkingFish> ubuntu_new, You should have a list of columns at the top, one of them should just be an S on its own
[20:12] <ubuntu_new> ah yes
[20:12] <BarkingFish> under that will be either the letter S, D, Z, Ss or something like that
[20:12] <ubuntu_new> Demon002: BarkingFish "R"
[20:12] <BarkingFish> running process
[20:12] <Demon002> ...
[20:12] <`blackmk4> what would cause me to be unable to boot a usb flash drive of ubuntu install
[20:12] <ubuntu_new> and it is green colored
[20:12] <BarkingFish> yep
[20:12] <`blackmk4> i just get a blinking line and it goes nowhere, i've tried multiple different images
[20:13] <coz_> `blackmk4,   how did you set it on the usb ,, with which  utility?
[20:13] <SIFTU> fishscene: ahh its running in a script?
[20:13] <`blackmk4> dd
[20:13] <fishscene> yes
[20:13] <SIFTU> fishscene: you said cli
[20:13] <SIFTU> fishscene: then use nohup
[20:13] <coz_> `blackmk4,  are you on windows right now?
[20:13] <`blackmk4> no
[20:13] <`blackmk4> osx
[20:13] <coz_> `blackmk4,  ah ok
[20:13] <SIFTU> fishscene: "nohup foo &"
[20:13] <fishscene> So append & nohup?
[20:13] <fishscene> err
[20:14] <coz_> `blackmk4, I am  not familiar with doing that on osx... did you check the md5sum of the iso before setting it on usb?
[20:14] <`blackmk4> es
[20:14] <fishscene> "nohup (command) &" ?
[20:14] <`blackmk4> yes*
[20:14] <SIFTU> fishscene: yes
[20:14] <`blackmk4> same thing as writing the image to a drive on linux
[20:14] <BarkingFish> So let me get this straight, ubuntu_new - you're trying to kill the process off, but you can't?
[20:14] <`blackmk4> dd if / of
[20:14] <coz_> `blackmk4, ok I wil back off and let someone more familiar with osx and burning to usb    ,, I am out of my element with that
[20:15] <Demon002> ubuntu_new have you tried just restarting it, and not killing it?
[20:15] <`blackmk4> alright, thanks
[20:15] <ubuntu_new> BarkingFish: Demon002 I like to get it working cause I need it but I can't even kill it
[20:15] <mbai> I think I have damaged my xfce settings. How can I reset them to default from a terminal?
[20:15] <mbai> I couldn't find a .xfce folder.
[20:15] <ubuntu_new> My CPU goes to 99% from it and it doesn't work even
[20:16] <BarkingFish> Who is listed as the process owner?
[20:16] <BarkingFish> you or root?
[20:16] <mbai> ubuntu_new: open a console, run top
[20:16] <Demon002> ubuntu_new I would reboot, purge the thing and reinstall it.
[20:16] <BarkingFish> iirc a regular user can't kill a root process using kill - only processes owned by their own account
[20:16] <Demon002> ubuntu_new be sure to export your settings
[20:17] <ubuntu_new> Demon002: I removed it and installed it from the Ubuntu Software but same problem
[20:17] <Demon002> ubuntu_new that's just annoying..
[20:17] <mbai> if you know name of the process, you can do sudo pkill -9 -f <name>
[20:17] <ubuntu_new> Demon002: I think I caused it with the web thing you know you can get transmission to work through the web interface
[20:17] <ubuntu_new> But I stoppted that from the settings
[20:17] <ubuntu_new> and still same problem
[20:18] <BarkingFish> or i'd imagine you could just killall <process name>
[20:18] <mbai> I don't think reinstalling it removes your configurations.
[20:18] <winut> can you delete your preferences as well?
[20:18] <Demon002> ubuntu_new does it have some kind of child process?
[20:18] <mbai> you need to reset to the default configs...
[20:18] <ubuntu_new> When I run Vuze the other Torrent client that's written on Java, it goes crazy and I can't kill Java then
[20:18] <Demon002> Purge removes all configs
[20:18] <winut> have you got enough space to write to ?
[20:18] <ubuntu_new> Demon002: no it doesn't
[20:18] <winut> pk, cool , thanks :-)
[20:19] <CharlieSu> ubuntu_new: use rtorrent
[20:19] <debug_> g
[20:19] <Demon002> ubuntu_new apt-get remove : removes uninstalls package --purge removes the configs and the package..
[20:19] <mbai> kill by default doesn't send the SIGKILL signal. you can use -9 or -SIGKILL option.
[20:19] <ubuntu_new> Demon002: ok will try that
[20:19] <pedrocr> is there any easy way to create a memtest86 bootable USB drive? The startup disk creator doesn't like the memtest86 ISO files
[20:19] <ubuntu_new> CharlieSu: thanks will check it out
[20:20] <winut> just make an ubuntu live usb stick
[20:20] <glebihan> pedrocr, probably with unetbootin
[20:20] <Demon002> mbai, probably a good call mate
[20:20] <BarkingFish> i think he said he'd already tried -9
[20:20] <glebihan> mbai, he already used the -9 option
[20:20] <pedrocr> glebihan, will try, thanks
[20:21] <Demon002> ....
[20:21] <mbai> Ubuntu IRC is pretty active (compared to some other distros). That's good.
[20:22] <ubuntu_new> Demon002: http://pastebin.com/ZE5RZUK9 If I have that right
[20:22] <Headoff> #headoff
[20:22] <Demon002> ubuntu_new looks correct
[20:23] <ubuntu_new> Demon002: so I should remove linux-headers-2.6.35-22* linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic* ? It looks like kernel package
[20:23] <Demon002> .. however it says it is not installed. Yeah but i doubt that's the issue
[20:23] <Label> Can anyone help me with wireless networking? I cannot connect back to my network after getting kicked off.
[20:23] <ubuntu_new> Demon002: lol but it is installed
[20:23] <fishscene> hmm... I'm trying to create a cron job that executes a script. At the end of this script, I have it echo some words to a text file on my desktop so that I know the job executed. However, VLC is not in my list of processes
[20:24] <Demon002> apt doesn't seem to think so
[20:24] <Demon002> did you install it as an rpm?
[20:24] <Demon002> do you have yum installed?
[20:24] <GSF1200S_> mbai: unfortunately, ubuntu has a much larger percentage of users that are new compared to those who know how to fix problems. Especially compared to, for example, the Arch and Gentoo IRC channels. Not hating on being new- just that it makes it harder for people to get solutions
[20:24] <jrib> fishscene: huh?
[20:25] <GSF1200S_> fishscene: I followed right up until you mentioned VLC.
[20:25] <fishscene> jrib: here's the breakdown. Cron executes a #! /bin/bash script on my desktop. The script launches VLC and then dumps some text into a file. The text file shows up, but vlc does not.
[20:26] <jrib> !cron > fishscene
[20:26] <Label> Will someone please help me with wireless networking?
[20:26] <jrib> fishscene: see the section in the wiki about running gui applications from cron
[20:26] <glebihan> ubuntu_new, those are old kernels you can remove them safely, but your problem does not come from there
[20:26] <jrib> !wireless > Label
[20:26] <fishscene> What wiki?
[20:26] <mbai> Label: What's the problem.
[20:26] <ActionParsnip> !details | Label
[20:26] <jrib> fishscene: see you private message from ubottu
[20:26] <Label> !wireless
[20:26] <Label> ???
[20:26] <Pici> the bot isn't here...
[20:26] <fishscene> I did not get a private message from anyone
[20:26] <jrib> :/
[20:27] <Pici> ubuntu_new: as the message says, you can:
[20:27] <Pici> ubuntu_new: as the message says, you can: Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
[20:27] <ubuntu_new> It is making me crazy since yesterday :( even updates didn't fix it
[20:27] <ubuntu_new> I think it's broken
[20:27] <amalloy> what's the recommended way to disable automatic home-directory encryption? i've found a number of blog posts but nothing authoritative
[20:27] <glebihan> fishscene, cron won't be able to run a gui app
[20:27] <Demon002> ok Ubuntu_new so you have 2 problems now... 1 the package manager says the package you are trying to uninstall doesn't exist and 2 you have a rogue process.
[20:28] <fishscene> glebihan: even if cron executes a script that can run the GUI?
[20:28] <ubuntu_new> Demon002: yes
[20:28] <RedNifre> Hello, world!
[20:28] <RedNifre> What's the best screen recording program? Would be nice if it also recorded what I spoke in the headset.
[20:28] <glebihan> fishscene, even in that case, the cron job is not run inside the gui environment and has no way to open an application in it
[20:28] <Demon002> ubuntu_new the only plausable solution to me is that you have installed another package management system and it is installed there..
[20:29] <jrib> !cron | fishscene
[20:29] <fishscene> ubottu isn't here.. I'm going to give this a spin: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185993
[20:29] <mbai> Demon002: the problem is probably a bug in transmission. try using some other torrent client, and report the bug to transmission.
[20:29] <ubuntu_new> Demon002: I don't understand you hmm, Transmission was installted by default there
[20:29] <rypervenche> RedNifre: I personally use ffmpeg with x264
[20:30] <TheMatrix3000> http://screencast.com/t/ySPnPv8jnz
[20:30] <TheMatrix3000> anyone know what would cause that
[20:30] <BarkingFish> What's happened to ubottu?  I can see at least one bot in here.
[20:30] <Demon002> mbai, the bug explains the rogue process, but not the fact that apt doesnt know that the package is there..
[20:30] <RedNifre> rypervenche thanks, I'll have a look at that
[20:30] <jrib> fishscene: you could just go to help.ubuntu.com/community and search for the cron page
[20:30] <Pici> Demon002: The package name is transmission-gtk, 'transmission' is just a metapackage that is normally installed by default.
[20:30] <iText> i was trying to copy some dict source files to /usr/bin/dict but i could not paste the copied files into the directory
[20:31] <Pici> Demon002: and --purge will not remove user configs in the user's home.
[20:31] <glebihan> fishscene, that should work but only if your desktop environment runs on the correct display (which will usually be the case)
[20:31] <tera___> RedNifre, if you use FFMpeg you might need to check out pulse audio monitors and sinks if your going to also talk
[20:31] <Demon002> Pici, are you sure? maybe i am thinking of dpkg?
[20:31] <Pici> Demon002: dpkg will not do that either.
[20:31] <fishscene> WIN! "01 04 * * * export DISPLAY=:0 && /usr/bin/somedirectory/somecommand" in crontab did the trick!
[20:31] <mayonek> iText you prolly dint get permission
[20:31] <Demon002> Pici... I'ma have to look that up, it wil bug me now.
[20:31] <iText> yes that i understood
[20:32] <Demon002> Pici... will
[20:32] <fishscene> glebihan: Yea. VLC looks a bit different too, like it's using some outdated xterminal or something. But it works! and that's what counts.
[20:32] <iText> i am the sudo user
[20:32] <Guest55577> Hi, I'm trying to control my parallel port; all the tutorials I can find include <asm/io.h>, but this just gives me "fatal error: asm/io.h: No such file or directory" does anyone know where it is or what to use instead?
[20:32] <mayonek> iText try from the terminal thing
[20:33] <iText> tried with sudo cp source dest, not working
[20:33] <Pici> Guest55577: looks like you need to make sure that you have your linux-headers package installed.
[20:33] <ubuntu_new> Demon002: Pici http://pastebin.com/AujRpGd2 same
[20:33] <Clerisy> my window titles and borders dissapeared and my mouse is an X?
[20:33] <`blackmk4> what causes you to get a blinking line after the bios when trying to install ubuntu off a usb flash drive?
[20:33] <Pici> iText: /usr/bin/dict is a binary, not a path where you can copy things into.
[20:34] <Pici> ubuntu_new: that doesn't look the same to me.
[20:34] <Demon002> ubuntu_new looks different to me too
[20:34] <iText> but i have to copy files to it, thats what the ~dict manuals sayf
[20:34] <ubuntu_new>   linux-headers-2.6.35-22 linux-headers-2.6.35-22-generic  isn't it the same ?
[20:34] <Pici> iText: What are you trying to install?
[20:34] <rypervenche> RedNifre: Need a link and screencasting script that I made?
[20:34] <iText> dictonaries
[20:35] <glebihan> ubuntu_new, this doesn't matter
[20:35] <Pici> iText: which? There are a number of them in the repositories for dictd
[20:35] <glebihan> ubuntu_new, the important part is "The following packages will be REMOVED: transmission-gtk*"
[20:35] <iText> this is a sanskrit dic~tionary file
[20:35] <ubuntu_new> glebihan: ahh Yes I see it now
[20:35] <Demon002> Pici --purge does remove the configs, you are incorrect
[20:35] <ubuntu_new> ok removed it but the process is still running hmm
[20:36] <ubuntu_new> maybe a reboot would do something
[20:36] <iText> i had already the gcide, wn and roby-thesaurus
[20:36] <Pici> Demon002: It does not remove per-user configs. it will never decend into a user's home to do so.
[20:36] <Pici> iText: Then you should drop the files in /usr/share/dictd/ then.
[20:36] <glebihan> Demon002, no he is correct...
[20:36] <Pici> iText: That is where the packaged dict packages put their files.
[20:36] <Demon002> Pici oh, excuse me my mistake I'm talking about the package config files
[20:36] <glebihan> ubuntu_new, that's probably what you should do at this point
[20:37] <ubuntu_new> glebihan: ok brb
[20:37] <Demon002> "-P or --purge	Removes a package, including configuration files" Pici
[20:37] <jakdaemon> new ubunu yehas
[20:37] <iText> i will try that
[20:37] <ff> quit
[20:38] <Pici> Demon002: That is true.  But something like transmission which relies fully on user configs for transmission-gtk, using --purge isn't going to make much of a difference... it can't hurt though :)
[20:38] <Demon002> Pici, yeah, you're right =)
[20:38] <jamesw> is there an easy way to change all of my cpus into performance or power saving mode? the only way I know how is to add a bunch of different cpu frequency applets and control each one
[20:39] <Clerisy> my window titles and borders dissapeared and my mouse is an X?
[20:39] <Demon002> ubuntu_new so purge the package, and find the config files in your home directory, it should be a "."(Dot) directory
[20:39] <Demon002> and delete it too
[20:39] <iText> pici: sudo cp /home/bhanu/1 /usr/share/dictd/ #dosent worked
[20:39] <rypervenche> Clerisy: are you using compiz or metacity?
[20:40] <Demon002> ubuntu_new Once you have completed deleting those files, IF the transmission program is still running, reboot your machine. Then reinstall transmission
[20:40] <glebihan> Demon002, ubuntu_new is gone for now (rebooting)
[20:41] <Demon002> right.
[20:42] <salil> How do I install mysql-server source code in ubuntu?
[20:43] <glebihan> salil, you don't "install" source code
[20:43] <iText> Pici: i had given read permissions to files in 1 with chmod 644 *.*
[20:43] <BarkingFish> yay, ubottu's back :)
[20:43] <glebihan> salil, either you install the package, either you download the source
[20:43] <Clerisy> rypervenche» metacity
[20:43] <salil> glebihan: I believe you can use apt-get source ... How do I set that up?
[20:43] <rypervenche> Clerisy: Press alt+F2 then in the window type "metacity --replace"
[20:44] <rypervenche> Clerisy: If you have compiz, do "compiz --replace"
[20:44] <glebihan> salil, then you want to download the source : just run "apt-get source mysql-server"
[20:44] <Clerisy> rypervenche» my window border settings reset :S
[20:44] <salil> glebihan: Doesn't it require any URL additions to the sources file of apt?
[20:44] <Clerisy> now the close minus maximise are back on the left rypervenche
[20:44] <Clerisy> what could have done this?
[20:45] <glebihan> salil, yes you have to enable the source repositories, but I believe they are enabled by default (anyway apt-get will tell you if you don't have the required repos)
[20:45] <Demon002> !Firewall
[20:45] <salil> glebihan: Thanks
[20:46] <glebihan> salil, you're welcome
[20:46] <salil> glebihan: Do I use sudo apt-get build-dep mysql-server to "install" all the stuff required to compile mysql-server from the sourc ecode/
[20:46] <salil> *source code/
[20:46] <salil> *?
[20:47] <glebihan> salil, that's right
[20:49] <Demon002> salil and if you don't have all the dependencies you can find out what your are missing USUALLY with apt-cache unmet.. not sure if it works for sources though..
[20:50] <jamesw> CPU performance switcher? is there an easy way to change all of my cpus into performance or power saving mode? the only way I know how is to add a bunch of different cpu frequency applets and control each one
[20:50] <Demon002> I saw a program for that jamesw... lemme see if i can find that article..
[20:54] <jamesw> can someone please explain how i can sync encrypted home folder to ubuntu one? https://one.ubuntu.com/help/faq/are-my-files-stored-on-the-server-encrypted/ i do not understand this
[20:55] <valthyx> how to make classics desktop as the main desktop theme? now, i have to always choose at the login page. mine is ubuntu 11.04

[20:59] <pyguy7> Why doesnt my microphone work
[20:59] <mosdef100200> anyone used bumpbox lightbox beofre?
[20:59] <glebihan> !oneiric | leotr
[20:59] <trism> leotr: beta isn't out until tomorrow
[21:00] <urlin2u> leotr, down load install it and hang a put at #ubuntu+1
[21:00] <NewIRCuser42> pyguy7, what version of ubuntu are you using, and what have you tried?
[21:00] <Demon002> jamesw... I can't find the article with the software now but.. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-change-cpu-frequency-scaling-in-ubuntu.html Does this help?
[21:01] <glebihan> istevenmon, I doubt it
[21:01] <jamesw> thanks for your help Demon002, but this is what i am doing now, it does not scale well, i have to control 8 different applets
[21:01] <istevenmon> glebihan: is it even support it for that version?
[21:01] <pyguy7> 11.04 natty
[21:01] <glebihan> istevenmon, plus 9.04 has reached its end-of-life
[21:01] <pyguy7> NewIRCCruser42 natty
[21:02] <Demon002> hrm... maybe you could write a scripted program to do that jamesw?
[21:02] <glebihan> istevenmon, not sure... best way to know is to try
[21:02] <pyguy7> NewIRCruser42 i tried changing some setting on the sound settings
[21:02] <pyguy7> NewIRCruser42 and i tried testing it out with the recorder tool
[21:02] <NewIRCuser42> pyguy7, Does your sound card work, otherwise? Do you get sound that you can hear?
[21:03] <pyguy7> sound works
[21:03] <jessie> Say, anyone have any good hints/tips/articles on doing ametuer/professional audio recording/mastering/mixing/etc. on Linux.
[21:04] <leotr> thank you
[21:04] <NewIRCuser42> pyguy7, I have usually needed to go into alsamixer to get my microphone to work (open a terminal, type "alsamiser", hit enter), look around
[21:05] <NewIRCuser42> *alsamixer
[21:05] <BarkingFish> jessie - I do quite a lot of audio work on linux, and the best results I get are from audacity, it has a shedload of plugins for different things, DNR, High pass and low pass filters, it's pretty dang good.
[21:06] <jessie> BarkingFish: For things like multi-track recording?
[21:06] <BarkingFish> You can export in a load of different formats too, flac, ogg, mp3 (with lame), there's tons of stuff  you can do with it
[21:06] <Demon002> Jamesw hmm, how about this http://ubuntuguide.net/change-and-monitor-cpu-frequency-scaling-in-ubuntu-11-04-with-indicator-cpufreq
[21:06] <BarkingFish> yep
[21:06] <BarkingFish> you can open multiple tracks from within it, I've mixed across 12 before with no difficulty
[21:07] <Demon002> jamesw nevermind, same thing.
[21:07] <baldur-> I got a proplem. Just turned my old computer on and it has a old version of ubuntu on there but internet is not working ? would that have anything to do with that the ubuntu verrsion thats on there is relly old ? (the computer detects both network cards and everything lights up when i plug it in. but no internet or comp to router connection
[21:07] <baldur-> ?
[21:08] <m_fulder> hello again :P
[21:08] <m_fulder> can I somehow run a php script as a crontab in ubuntu?
[21:08] <BarkingFish> baldur-, did it work with the equipment you have plugged into it now, or have you changed the equipment since you installed?
[21:08] <buzzcentral> hi
[21:09] <pyguy7> ok i looked at alsamixer still not working
[21:09] <debbie> i can't get my wifi to work and i have tried everything
[21:09] <buzzcentral> I'm trying to tell gdm in natty to use classic gnome but it's set to auto-login
[21:09] <BarkingFish> debbie, Built in or USB?
[21:09] <buzzcentral> How can i tell gdm to use classic gnome?
[21:09] <baldur-> Barkingfish i had the network card in another computer the other day and it worked fine there... I just put it back into that machine and its not working now :-/
[21:09] <debbie> built in
[21:09] <debbie>  Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
[21:09] <buzzcentral> I don't have the unity menu either
[21:10] <debbie> rfkill lst says no block but wifi doesn't even show as an option on the network menu
[21:10] <BarkingFish> debbie, is it listed in iwconfig?
[21:10] <urlin2u> !b43
[21:10] <skinnymg1> why did they take yahoo off the empathy messenger
[21:10] <buzzcentral> How can I logout from terminal?
[21:10] <skinnymg1> buzzcentral, exit
[21:10] <glebihan> m_fulder, sure, use the -f option of php to execute your script
[21:10] <debbie> says no wireless extenions
[21:10] <buzzcentral> Or how can I disable auto-login
[21:11] <BarkingFish> debbie, see the info urlin2u just sent out :)
[21:11] <buzzcentral> skinnymg1, I mean to get to gdm screen so I can select classic gnome
[21:11] <BarkingFish> !b43|debbie
[21:11] <skinnymg1> ctrl+alt+f7
[21:11] <buzzcentral> skinnymg1: That's not it
[21:11] <NewIRCuser42> pyguy7, does your mic show up in either the sound preferences or alsamixer, or does it not show up at all?
[21:11] <Artemka25> Hello everybody! Can anyone help me with a network applet in 11.04?
[21:12] <m_fulder> glebihan oh -f option? I was thinking something like * * * * * wget /var/www/myScript.php woudlnät that work to? ^^
[21:12] <m_fulder> wouldn't *
[21:12] <skinnymg1> might be f8
[21:12] <urlin2u> Artemka25, applet/ask the question.
[21:12] <pyguy7> NewIRCuser42 it seems to show up.. its built in to my laptop
[21:12] <skinnymg1> can anyone tell me why they took yahoo messenger out off empathy,
[21:12] <glebihan> m_fulder, well it would probably as long as your php script is set as executable
[21:12] <pyguy7> newIRCuser42 yeah it shows up everywhere
[21:12] <BarkingFish> it's strange, I must say - I think we had someone in the kubuntu channel yesterday who also couldn't get wifi off a BCM4318
[21:12] <baldur-> Barkingfish i had the network card in another computer the other day and it worked fine there... I just put it back into that machine and its not working now :-/
[21:12] <skinnymg1> buzzcentral, idk then
[21:13] <glebihan> m_fulder, oh no that won't work
[21:13] <urlin2u> skinnymg1, does it matter why?
[21:13] <skinnymg1> yes it does
[21:13] <glebihan> m_fulder, I didn't understand how you wanted you script to be called
[21:13] <Artemka25> the question with the applet is that it does not remember profiles. Suddenly the applet stopped to remember profiles
[21:13] <whoever> hi all i have compiz but the "visual effects" tab does not show up under preferences
[21:13] <urlin2u> skinnymg1, whay?
[21:13] <buzzcentral> When I run gdmsetup and click unlock, nothing happens
[21:13] <urlin2u> why
[21:13] <whoever> can someone assist
[21:13] <skinnymg1> its only the largest and most used messenger there is
[21:13] <m_fulder> hm glebihan I just want to run the php file :P won't wgeting run it to? ^^
[21:13] <BarkingFish> baldur-, so the card is still detecting, but you can't get a net connection through it?
[21:14] <skinnymg1> only idiots would do away with it
[21:14] <buzzcentral> Please someone help me to disable autologin for gdm or select classic gnome somehow. I have no unity menu
[21:14] <glebihan> m_fulder, well running it and calling it via apache are 2 different things
[21:14] <buzzcentral> When I run gdmsetup and click unlock, nothing happens
[21:14] <urlin2u> skinnymg1, what does this have to to with ubuntu other then your opinon?
[21:14] <baldur-> BarkingFish: No it doesnt connect to the router nor the internet
[21:14] <NewIRCuser42> pyguy7, sorry, i can't help you further, i g2g, maybe someone else will help.
[21:14] <glebihan> m_fulder, I see you're using wget here, so I guess you want it to be called as if someone was accessing it through a web browser right ?
[21:14] <m_fulder> glebihan but all I want to do is just execute the file like once every hour :P .. isn't calling and running the same thing then? :P
[21:14] <BarkingFish> baldur-, tried with a different ethernet cable?
[21:15] <skinnymg1> your right
[21:15] <m_fulder> glebihan yeah exactly
[21:15] <BarkingFish> sometimes eth cables can be notoriously dodgy, they can pack up at the drop of a hat
[21:15] <buzzcentral> Please someone help me to disable autologin for gdm or enable classic gnome somehow. I have no unity menu
[21:15] <glebihan> m_fulder, then it would be "* * * * * /usr/bin/wget http://localhost/myScript.php"
[21:15] <baldur-> BarkingFish: it works now... Something wrong with the ports on the router
[21:16] <BarkingFish> buzzcentral, we saw you, we're getting to you, please be patient :)
[21:16] <m_fulder> glebihan nice will try that on :D
[21:16] <urlin2u> buzzcentral, classic choice s at login.
[21:16] <BarkingFish> baldur-, did you try it in a different port on the router?
[21:16] <skinnymg1> urlin2u, my opinion and my computer, I choose how it works and what I run on it, another loyal user lost here, thanks allot Ubuntu......
[21:16] <m_fulder> glebihan will that run every hour to? sry Im kind of noob with the crontab times :P
[21:16] <urlin2u> buzzcentral, so logout fro the unity if you can
[21:16] <ActionParsnip> buzzcentral: /usr/bin/gnome-session-save --kill     will log you off
[21:17] <buzzcentral> urlin2u: I have no unity menu currently
[21:17] <buzzcentral> ActionParsnip: Ok i will try it now
[21:17] <urlin2u> skinnymg1, don'y let the door hit you on the way out and grow up.:D
[21:17] <glebihan> m_fulder, to run it every hour use "0 * * * * /usr/bin/wget http://localhost/myScript.php"
[21:17] <BarkingFish> +1 to urlin2u
[21:17] <m_fulder> thanks glebihan trying it now :)
[21:17] <jessie> BarkingFish: So have you tried any tools like Ardour?
[21:17] <glebihan> m_fulder, you're welcome
[21:18] <ActionParsnip> m_fulder: if you have a desktop OS, you can use gnome-schedule     to cron as root, use: gksu gnome-schedule
[21:18] <baldur-> BarkingFish : yes i did... Port 1 and 2 are working but port 3 and 4 dont work for anything dunno why
[21:18] <BarkingFish> jessie, no I haven't. I tend to stick with what I know works.  I've been using audacity since about 2002ish, a year after I came onto linux
[21:18] <urlin2u> Artemka25, I don't know who you are I don't take pm's without a warning.
[21:19] <Artemka25> m..
[21:19] <m_fulder> ActionParsnip sry its not a desktop OS .. its server OS :(
[21:19] <BarkingFish> ok baldur- I'd maybe check the manual for your router and see if there's something in its web interface or setup you have to enable to get them to operate
[21:19] <fightling1> hi
[21:19] <urlin2u> Artemka25, nor will I ever from you purple.
[21:19] <alexb_1> hi all, I need to redirect emails from certain sender to different folders. Can it be done in icedove? any other program? thanks.
[21:19] <jessie> BarkingFish: I see. What hardware do you use with Audacity?
[21:19] <Artemka25> so so i can rwpwat my question here?
[21:20] <ActionParsnip> m_fulder: i see, then you will need the crontab entry as glebihan gave.
[21:20] <baldur-> BarkingFish: got my friend on it who works at that ISP :) giving him hell :) thanks for the help
[21:20] <pyguy7> ok i got the mic to work but theres is load buzzing noise
[21:20] <fightling1> how can I restart gdm at the login screen with a keyboard shortcut? sounds silly. but i need to do this
[21:20] <BarkingFish> np baldur- best of luck to you :)
[21:21] <Artemka25> urlin2u, the question with the applet is that it does not remember profiles. Suddenly the applet stopped to remember profiles
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> fightling1: CTRL+ALT+F1 then CTRL+ALT+F7
[21:21] <ActionParsnip> fightling1: maybe
[21:21] <glebihan> m_fulder, you might also want to add the "-O /dev/null" option in order to prevent wget to actually save the result to a file
[21:21] <swerf> i have a recent linksys b/a wifi pci card, bios see's it, latest ubuntu doesn't...works ok in windows...am i out of luck?
[21:21] <BarkingFish> jessie: I have a STAC92 sound card built in on this laptop, but I do have other pieces of kit I use, such as a wireless noise cancelling mic, and external digital mixing stuff which I use for doing vinyl imports.
[21:22] <ex0a> ActionParsnip: that doesn't actually restart gdm though does it?
[21:22] <m_fulder> glebihan how do you mean it could save result? :O won't it just wget and then quit? :P
[21:22] <pyguy7> NewIRCuser42 ok i got it working
[21:22] <fightling1> ActionParsnip: no this doesn't work I also tried to reactivate Ctrl+Alt+Backspace but this seems to be not available at login screen
