[00:00] <thune3> Kyle__: this is a standard install or a VM?
[00:00] <ZykoticK9> tru3fate, keep it in channel please
[00:00] <nixbox> Jordan_U: i don't want that, because i need to do some dev work on wireless-testing
[00:00] <askhader> What is the name of the command that invokes the gnome network manager?
[00:00] <ZykoticK9> askhader, nm-applet perhaps?
[00:00] <Somelauw> Okee, I got the dvd running and it is showing the main menu, but when I click play, it just shows me some snow.
[00:00] <zatan> is anybody of you using "MOCP" audio console player?
[00:01] <dotanitis> ZykoticK9, Im trying to store file path in a variable and afterward to send in to file util.
[00:01] <tru3fate> ok i removed kvm
[00:01] <kens1962> how can i find a program i just installed?!!!!
[00:01] <ZykoticK9> tru3fate, when you removed kvm did it say certain packages where no longer needed?  have you rebooted the system?
[00:01] <diverted> whats the matter with chroot? i dont understand it. I followed the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebootstrapChroot but when i use schroot -l i get "deprecated key 'location' used and it tells me to update my configuration. i keep getting this message also if i type schroot and then use auto complete on my chroots
[00:02] <Somelauw> accerimer, ZykoticK9, blakkeim, it starts and shows the main menu, but when I try to play it, it just shows me some snow.
[00:02] <Jordan_U> kens1962: dpkg -L packagename
[00:02] <ZykoticK9> dotanitis, the file path?  do you mean $PATH as it's already a variable!?  you can do something like "echo $PATH > filename" to output it to a file!?
[00:02] <ZykoticK9> Somelauw, try another dvd first
[00:03] <kens1962> i just installed a program through terminal where do i find it now
[00:03] <Somelauw> okay, I'll try
[00:03] <tru3fate> ZykoticK9, no nothing just remove
[00:04] <ZykoticK9> tru3fate, have you tried vbox again?
[00:04] <Jordan_U> dotanitis: file_path="/path to /file with spaces"; file "$file_path"
[00:04] <diverted> can someone please help me with schroot?
[00:04] <tru3fate> ZykoticK9, same error with it remove
[00:04] <mkquist> kens1962: whereis in the terminal and name of program
[00:04] <ZykoticK9> tru3fate, have you rebooted?
[00:04] <mkquist> kens1962: as in "whereis k3b"
[00:05] <tru3fate> ZykoticK9, reboot my box , or virtualbox
[00:05] <mkquist> kens1962: did you get that?
[00:06] <kens1962> its bittorrent
[00:06] <boywonder> hi,is it possible to run windows remote desktop thru ubuntu?
[00:06] <mkquist> kens1962: which client are you using?
[00:06] <kens1962> i guess newest version of bittorrent
[00:06] <ZykoticK9> tru3fate, if it's a kernel module that's loaded, it might still be loaded even though you've uninstalled kvm (which i'm unsure if it uninstalled the kvm kernel stuff!), but rebooted would clear that stuff up - so i'd try it (it would be possible to do without rebooting if we knew the module name that kvm loads)
[00:06] <mkquist> kens1962: transmission, vuze?
[00:07] <kens1962> transmiion
[00:07] <kens1962> transmition
[00:07] <mkquist> kens1962: it should be in ur menut
[00:07] <dotanitis> Jordan_U, Thanks! but it doesn't work, but when writing file "/path to /file with spaces" its works..?!..
[00:07] <Somelauw> accerimer, ZykoticK9, blakkeim, I tried another dvd and that one works correctly.
[00:07] <thune3> diverted: you followed the instructions "Note: In lucid the filename must not contain '.' , it should be lucid_i386_conf" ?
[00:07] <kens1962> it isnt
[00:07] <kens1962> wat do i go 2 lemme check
[00:08] <mkquist> kens1962: if not then open a terminal and type whereis transmission, but i think it comes packaged in ubuntu by default
[00:08] <Jordan_U> dotanitis: What is the exact code you're using?
[00:08] <tru3fate> ZykoticK9, i dont know if this helps (VERR_VMX_IN_VMX_ROOT_MODE) it also has that in the error
[00:08] <xbonesx> whats the current most recommended back up utility? I was just browsing through info about Sbackup? any other recommendations?
[00:08] <mkquist> kens1962: open a terminal and type transmission, that will start it
[00:09] <kens1962> im searchin for a song its not searchin
[00:09] <ZykoticK9> tru3fate, doesn't help me i'm affraid - i haven't used kvm in a million years, i only use vbox now (& vmware for school) - but this kvm/vbox issue has been around for a long time!
[00:09] <mkquist> kens1962: what do you mean your searching?
[00:10] <m0rTaL> i have no mouse.. could I control my mouse with the arrow keys (in X - fluxbox/Debian5)
[00:10] <kens1962> in the search bar im tryin to download a song
[00:10] <dotanitis> Jordan_U: have the file "./b c/f2", writing the command: HI="./b c/f2"; file $HI but got error message...
[00:10] <tru3fate> im just trying to install some type of VM
[00:10] <Jordan_U> dotanitis: You forgot quotes around the variable where you used it: file "$HI"
[00:10] <mkquist> kens1962: transmissions a client do download from the bittorrent network, it doenst work like that
[00:11] <dotanitis> hm...
[00:11] <kens1962> i want to download music how do i
[00:11] <kens1962> i thought bittorrent does that
[00:11] <dotanitis> Jordan_U: Thanks!
[00:11] <Jordan_U> dotanitis: You're welcome.
[00:11] <n8w> hey
[00:11] <tru3fate> ZykoticK9, is there another type i can use that is more useful less errors
[00:11] <n8w> ive formated my swap partition n since then i keep gettin: swapon: cannot find the device for UUID=f3c84cbe-4f72-4921-a73c-1b7b7a7e330d
[00:12] <n8w> for swapon -a
[00:12] <diverted> thune3, ok good point, i really had that wrong. so after renaming it i run debootstrap again? because at first after doing it i got success message
[00:12] <dotanitis> ZykoticK9: "Thanks & sorry about the PM thing... my bad..."
[00:12] <thune3> diverted: i'm not sure, the message you posted above seems like more of a warning than an error.
[00:13] <diverted> ok so i will do it again just to be sure
[00:13] <kens1962> ??????
[00:13] <kens1962> how do i download music
[00:13] <ZykoticK9> tru3fate, your current issue is due to having too many installed at one time, i doubt adding more would help ;)  vbox is GREAT for me, but VMware is good as well.  i don't like kvm/qemu nearly as much, but it's all personal preferences/needs.
[00:13] <kens1962> wit this bittorrent
[00:13] <dotanitis> Jordan_U: just to be sure, every time that i need to fatch the variable value, i need to use quotes?
[00:14] <ZykoticK9> dotanitis, all good man.  hope you get your variable thing working
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> kens1962: find a torrent file and open it with the client
[00:14] <mkquist> kens1962: are you registered with freenode?
[00:14] <jdolan> hm, .. Not starting NFS kernel daemon: no support in current kernel
[00:14] <hiexpo> if i were president of us right now i would say release my people they are not spys < if they refuse level iran  \
[00:14] <kens1962> no
[00:14] <jdolan> 10.04 server
[00:14] <tru3fate> ZykoticK9, ok so ill uninstall everything dealing with vbox
[00:14] <MarcusEby> Hi fellow bunters.
[00:14] <ActionParsnip> kens1962: yes, thats how all clients work
[00:14] <m0rTaL> can i control my mouse cursor with the arrow keys?
[00:14] <madfox> hi! | MarcusEby
[00:14] <madfox> 1hi | MarcusEby
[00:14] <dotanitis> ZykoticK9: thanks to Jordan_U.
[00:14] <madfox> !hi | MarcusEby
[00:14] <ZykoticK9> tru3fate, i think vbox is the one you should use ;)  it's all up to you.
[00:14] <kens1962> well wat can i download through terminal so i can get music
[00:15] <mkquist> kens1962: try googling bit torrent and maybe sniff around www.thepiratebay.org - of course were talking legal content here...  but this is getting a little off topic
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> m0rTaL: http://superuser.com/questions/122142/control-mouse-with-keyboard-in-ubuntu
[00:15] <kens1962> i cant just get a program through terminal
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> kens1962: i dont follow you
[00:15] <MarcusEby> I need some help: (hey who doesn't) I recently updated from Lucid to Maverick, and lost my X11 settings and all my PPA-EDGERS plugins, now my graphic settings are all shot. How can I reinstall edgers or reset it?
[00:15] <Scunizi> m0rTaL: yes.. try shift + numlock to put it in that mode
[00:15] <ZykoticK9> gotta run, l8r everyone.  best of luck.
[00:15] <obscene> kens1962: what r u looking for?
[00:15] <ActionParsnip> kens1962: if you want to install apps via terminal you can use apt-get
[00:15] <m0rTaL> thx
[00:15] <goddard> is google really evil now?
[00:15] <kens1962> i want to download music
[00:16] <mkquist> kens1962: try googling bit torrent and maybe sniff around www.thepiratebay.org - of course were talking legal content here...  but this is getting a little off topic
[00:16] <kens1962> wat can i find through terminal
[00:16] <kevr> lol mkquist .
[00:16] <MarcusEby> goddard: google was never evil.
[00:16] <kevr> Don't joke yourself.
[00:16] <kevr> It is illegal content.
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> kens1962: then find torrents for music and open it with the terminal, you can download the .torrent via terminal with wget if you wis
[00:16] <kevr> <3
[00:16] <diverted> thune3, well i ran debootstrap again and got success again, however the 'schroot -l' still isnt working.
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> *wish
[00:16] <hiexpo> goddard, why would you say that ? is google evil ?
[00:16] <MarcusEby> Does anyone know how to remove, reset and reinstall ppa-edgers?
[00:16] <goddard> MarcusEby do you know what their doing now?
[00:16] <ActionParsnip> kevr: not all torrents are illegal
[00:16] <MarcusEby> goddard: stealing children?
[00:16] <tru3fate> ZykoticK9, Vbox is same as virtualbox right?
[00:17] <Scunizi> tru3fate: yep
[00:17] <kevr> ActionParsnip: obviously
[00:17] <kevr> ActionParsnip: but all the mp3 rips of real artists, are
[00:17] <goddard> hiexp do a search there is more than I could ever tell you
[00:17] <diverted> thune3, thats what i get: http://pastebin.com/EixHK3kc
[00:17] <goddard> hiexp but do it on yahoo or bing :D
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> MarcusEby: do you mean xorg edgers?
[00:17] <mkquist> kevr: well, I'm just sayin, he should stick to the 'legal' stuff, thats all  =P
[00:17] <kevr> ;]
[00:17] <MarcusEby> ActionParsnip: Yes.
[00:17]  * kevr teh FBI is watching
[00:17] <ActionParsnip> kevr: no, they can happily give away their own material, myspace allows fully legal mp3 downloads
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> MarcusEby: then its not 'ppa-edgers'
[00:18] <englandflag> hi.. i have a problem with a flexlm tool on ubuntu :(
[00:18] <boywonder> hi,is it possible to run windows remote desktop thru ubuntu?, as to previous q, i know know of a package rdesktop, my host will be cygwin and i can use putty to connect to it, does putty allow me to connect to remote desktop or do i need to config rdesktop,what will work? thanks in advance
[00:18] <kevr> ActionParsnip: thats because myspace got licenses to do so, but torrents don't - find me one legal torrent music rip
[00:18] <kevr> Have fun trying for a year
[00:18] <MarcusEby> ActionParsnip: hey but at least you knew what I was talking about, that makes one of us.
[00:18] <ActionParsnip> kevr: still a legal mp3 by "real" bands
[00:18] <kevr> lol
[00:18] <mattgyver> boywonder, you will need to either setup VNC or Terminal Services on that windows machine
[00:18] <Scunizi> boywonder: you want to use ubuntu to connect to windows and see the windows desktop right?
[00:18] <boywonder> yes
[00:18] <englandflag> can somebody help me with a ubuntu problem? :(
[00:19] <MarcusEby> ActionParsnip: so would you happen to know the answer please?
[00:19] <kevr> Keep sugarcoating it for yourself why don't ya
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> MarcusEby: sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers    will remove the ppa
[00:19] <mkquist> * sliding 'further' off topic maybe?
[00:19] <Dravekx> is there a way to re-install ubuntu server via ssh?
[00:19] <kevr> It's pirating
[00:19] <kevr> End of story.
[00:19] <dotanitis> Jordan_U: Can I ask another question regarding my problem?
[00:19] <Scunizi> boywonder: there is a built in app for that, that will do RDP or VNC .. check in Accessories>Internet
[00:19] <MarcusEby> ActionParsnip: then to reinstall it?
[00:19] <well_laid_lawn> kevr:  look at mininova.org - nothing but legal mp3s these days
[00:19] <len_> guys, after a lot of work I got my sound card to work for myself, but now everytime it starts, i need to load the sound module to make it work
[00:19] <hiexpo> the only one who is owner is buyer
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> kevr: if the artists give the songs away for free its fine, not all big bands charge
[00:19] <len_> how can I tell ubuntu to auto load the module?
[00:19] <ActionParsnip> MarcusEby: says on: https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa
[00:19] <kevr> well_laid_lawn: mininova also sucks at search results these days
[00:19] <kevr> ;]
[00:19] <blakkheim> len_: add the modprobe to your startup items then
[00:20] <well_laid_lawn> kevr:  sites searching ability wasn't the point
[00:20] <boywonder> Scunizi, i dont have accesories>internet??
[00:20] <kevr> the point is the only reason they have nothing but legal is because they got into a lawsuit
[00:20] <len_> blakkheim, you mean on /etc/bash.bashrc?
[00:20] <kevr> and got fined SHITloads of money
[00:20] <kevr> buddy
[00:20] <FloodBot2> kevr: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:20] <Scunizi> boywonder: just a sec.. loading gnome in a vm right now.
[00:20] <blakkheim> len_: no. what window manager/desktop environment do you use?
[00:20] <kevr> the reason you cant find shit there anymore, is because they dont post shit thats not legal
[00:20] <MarcusEby> ActionParsnip: do you think thats why I lost all of my graphics settings? Was because Maverick didn't work with all of the xorg-edgers stuff after the upgrade?  Applications>Internet>Remote Desktop Viewer or Terminal Server Client .. one does RDP protocol the other VNC
[00:21] <blakkheim> kevr: i didn't
[00:21] <well_laid_lawn> kevr:  bitter much ?
[00:21] <diverted> thune3, thanks
[00:21] <kevr> Bunch of joke kids here.
[00:21] <kevr> ;][
[00:21] <Scunizi> BRB
[00:21] <ActionParsnip> kevr: http://bt.etree.org/   completely free bootleg recordings of unknown artists, completely free
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> kevr: just because you don't know about it doesn;t mean it doesn't exist
[00:22] <len_> blakkheim, what's the name of the program i should look for?
[00:22] <boywonder> Scunizi, can i use ssh?
[00:22] <ActionParsnip> kevr: try being less ignorant, you'll get further in life
[00:22] <blakkheim> len_: you want the modprobe command to load the module for the card, "sudo modprobe nameofmodule" for example
[00:23] <MrUnagi> how can i tell if an untrusted certificate is truely from my server?
[00:23] <blakkheim> MrUnagi: for ssh?
[00:23] <MrUnagi> ssl
[00:24] <MarcusEby> ActionParsnip: Thanks a ton. But before I do the purge, I just wanted to get your opinion. Before the upgrade I used xorg-edgers with the latest kernel builds, I did the upgrade without a purge, and now nothing I put in my xorg.conf seems to do anything. In your opinion what is the problem?
[00:24] <mattgyver> blakkheim, I think you can add the module to the bottom of /etc/modules and it will start on boot
[00:24] <Scunizi> boywonder: ssh from ubuntu to windows and display the windows desktop.. well there are threads on how to use ssh and vnc together to accomplish that.. I"ve never done it though.
[00:24] <len_> blakkheim, yes I want to do that. I was thinking in put it on /etc/bash.bashrc
[00:24] <blakkheim> mattgyver: that works just fine too
[00:25] <blakkheim> len_: then it would load it whenever you opened a shell
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> MarcusEby: the edgers packages are hugely experimental, i'd point to that first
[00:25] <boywonder> Scunizi,  ok thanks alot
[00:25] <mattgyver> then it starts for every user too
[00:25] <MarcusEby> ActionParsnip: Do you think the purge will fix it?
[00:25] <Sandys>  /nick culseg
[00:25] <Scunizi> boywonder: sure.. by the way you can use putty to connect to ubuntu and display the gnome desktop :)
[00:25] <ActionParsnip> MarcusEby: its a good step, getting back to stable xorg version
[00:25] <boywonder> yes just the host is windowz
[00:26] <MarcusEby> ActionParsnip: Thanks I just needed mental backup on that. Thanks again.
[00:26] <len_> hum
[00:27] <mattgyver> blakkheim, oh crap sorry that should have been directed to len_  :)
[00:27] <goddard> Is google evil? http://ultraparanoid.wordpress.com/2007/06/19/why-google-is-evil™/
[00:27] <Kendalja> hello all
[00:27] <Sandys> /
[00:27] <Kendalja> When I click on "Network" on the menu, then double click on the name of the server I want to connect to, how do I get it to ask for user name and password?
[00:27] <kevr> sorry, was in the shower
[00:27] <Kendalja> I am not asked for a username and password
[00:28] <mattgyver> Kendalja, perhaps you added it to the keyring on mistake?
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> Kendalja: what service are you connecting to?
[00:28] <cjae_> can vurtualbox access usb? e.g usb thumb drive? with guestadditions
[00:28] <goddard> another reason you might think google being evil http://www.google-watch.org/bigbro.html
[00:28] <mattgyver> cjae_, yes
[00:28] <diverted> how to set up a working chroot system so i can run 32bit programs on 64bit ubuntu?
[00:28] <cjae_> virtual*
[00:28] <ActionParsnip> cjae_: the closed source one can
[00:28] <blakkheim> cjae_: the proprietary version can, but not the open source
[00:28] <kevr> ActionParsnip: sorry, i just find it funny when people act like they only download legal torrents. It's called pirating, one way or another, you have illegal files after doing more than a few times -- furthermore, im a proud company-ripoff - Thanks for your goods, I'm not paying $450.00 for a M$ application/os. Ever.
[00:28] <Kendalja> I am connecting via SMB in mac OSX 10.5
[00:28] <cjae_> shoot
[00:28] <Jordan_U> !ot | goddard
[00:28] <kevr> Stop acting like a goodie two shoes, no one is going to lawsuit you.
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> diverted: you dont need a chroot, you can install ia32-libs and do it
[00:29] <Kendalja> how do I access the keyring?
[00:29] <len_> blakkheim, so whats the name of the program I should look under system/administration?
[00:29] <blakkheim> len_: startup items, login items, something along those lines (i don't use gnome)
[00:29] <diverted> ActionParsnip, do i need to recompile the program after installing the ia32-libs?
[00:29] <kevr> Get the hell of nubuntu and spread further in knowledge, buddy
[00:29] <kevr> off*
[00:29] <ActionParsnip> kevr: if the artists and production are giving the files away for free, its not pirating.
[00:29] <kevr> lol
[00:29] <kevr> You aren't getting my point
[00:29] <well_laid_lawn> !lol
[00:30] <kevr> im saying there's only a minority of torrents that are legal
[00:30] <kevr> the majority, are not
[00:30] <diverted> ActionParsnip, because i compiled and installed the program successfully using my 64bit ubuntu without having ia32-libs but the program didnt work. afterwards i installed ia32-libs but it still doesnt work
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> diverted: no, you will just need to force install the packages, as well as manually satisfy deps for libs by extracting the 32bit deb files and put the .so in /usr/lib32
[00:30] <goddard> ubottu you speak for everyone in this channel?
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> diverted: a chroot may actually be cleaner
[00:30] <ActionParsnip> !chroot | diverted
[00:31] <ActionParsnip> kevr: oh absolutely but legal ones do completely exist (like the ubuntu iso for one ;))
[00:31] <kevr> yeah, sorry, i wasnt saying they dont
[00:31] <kevr> :P
[00:31] <thune3> diverted: according to manpage of chroot.conf, there is a key directory=directory
[00:31] <kevr> confusion $_$
[00:32] <thune3> diverted: where it says "This  option  was  previously named location, but was renamed..."
[00:32] <thune3> diverted: "The name location  is  deprecated,  but  still  valid;"
[00:32] <goddard> chroot is good stuff but it is easier to just have a second computer or virtual machine
[00:33] <ActionParsnip> true, its all good, lets help some folks now :)
[00:33] <kevr> goddard: not true in all cases... it's very useful for people who need to run in full cross arch environments
[00:33] <diverted> thune3, so.. where am i supposed to change anything now?
[00:34] <goddard> kevr i dont even know what you mean by that so ill just go along with it "D
[00:34] <diverted> thune3, if i use whereis chroot.conf i only find it inside some .gz files
[00:35] <thune3> diverted: it is referring to the format of the lucid_i386_conf file. If you change the key "location" (line 2) to "directory", the warning message will diappear.
[00:35] <kevr> goddard: just read the last line that ubottu said
[00:35] <kevr> 'or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment'
[00:35] <kevr> :P
 ?
[00:36] <kevr> though these days with true multilib, i suppose 32-bit chroots arent as necessary anymore for that
[00:36] <thune3> diverted: but it seems it is just a warning message, and isn't the source of any problems. location is "still valid"
[00:36] <mattgyver> frank__, yeah sent you over my suggestion.  dunno if it will help you or not
[00:36] <diverted> thune3, yes i changed the line but i get the same message
[00:37] <diverted> thune3, christoph@F:/etc/schroot/chroot.d$ schroot -d
[00:37] <diverted> E: required parameter is missing in 'directory'
[00:37] <diverted> I: Run “schroot --help” to list usage example and all available options
[00:37] <diverted> thune3, thats when i try with -d param
[00:37] <diverted> thune3, nvm my last msg..

[00:39] <blakkheim> BK_MAN: it's the source code, you have to compile it
[00:39] <BK_MAN> ran make command came back with errors
[00:39] <diverted> thune3, im running debootstrap again and hope it works then
[00:39] <uman> Hi, how can I permanently disable Compiz in Ubuntu 10.04?
[00:39] <thune3> diverted: not clear on your status (which msg to ignore and which to heed)
[00:39] <tensorpudding> uman: turn off desktop effects
[00:40] <BK_MAN> blakkheim: newbie question of the day, how do i do this?
[00:40] <ActionParsnip> uman: add a startup entry to run: metacity --replace
[00:40] <diverted> thune3, the one where i gave the output of schroot -d.. it didnt matter
[00:40] <blakkheim> BK_MAN: what program is it?
[00:40] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: read the README and INSTALL files if they exist
[00:40] <uman> tensorpudding: where?
[00:40] <thune3> diverted: so you changed the file and still get the error message?
[00:40] <BK_MAN> blakkheim: WiFish Finder
[00:41] <diverted> thune3, yes
[00:41] <tensorpudding> uman: under the Visual Effects tab in Appearance
[00:41] <diverted> thune3, funniest thing: i use schroot -a and get it too!
[00:41] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding: no config, readme or install files
[00:41] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: check the website for the program
[00:42] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: make sure you have installed the build-essential package, and all the libraries that the software requires
[00:42] <diverted> when i run: sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd --arch i386 lucid /var/chroot/ http://mirror.url.com/ubuntu/     then after unpacking and installing i get: I: Base system installed successfully.
[00:43] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding: build-essential is installed how do i know what other libraries are needed
[00:43] <uman> tensorpudding: thanks
[00:43] <diverted> thune3, for mirror url put archive.ubuntu, the actual location.. i just copied wrong link, rest is fine
[00:43] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: you need to read the information on the website, and sometimes you might be able to guess depending on what build errors you get
[00:43] <tensorpudding> ultimately there is no guarantee that this software will compile for your platform at all
[00:44] <kevr> ActionParsnip: btw, sorry if i came off rude - was just in a bit of a hurry to get to the shower
[00:44] <kevr> didn't mean to.
[00:44] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding: wifishfinder.c:3191: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments
[00:44] <BK_MAN> wifishfinder.c:3203: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments
[00:44] <Gbrino> hi l need help!
[00:45] <tensorpudding> that isn't the kind of parse error you get when you are missing headers
[00:45] <diverted> thune3, so what i have atm: inside /srv/chroot i have the typical hierarchy which i also find in my /
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> kevr: me too dude, we both sucked :)
[00:45] <tensorpudding> it looks more like a real bug
[00:45] <kevr> :P
[00:45] <kens1962> what program can i use to burn cd's for linux
[00:45] <ActionParsnip> !burner | kens1962
[00:45] <scott_ino> kens1962, umm brasero, k3b
[00:45] <edbian> kens1962, Rhythmbox, k3b
[00:45] <edbian> kens1962, brasero
[00:45] <m_fulder> hey
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> gnomebaker everytime here
[00:46] <kens1962> what can i get through terminal
[00:46] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: what is on that line?
[00:46] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding: bummer, thanks for the tips
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> kens1962: you can install them all via terminal
[00:46] <kens1962> alright give me 1 name again
[00:46] <m_fulder> I've hosted a webserver using apache on my comp but I don't have the permission to view my www/ though internet :S (my www folder has already chmod 777)
[00:46] <edbian> kens1962, You want to do the burning in the terminal or installing in the term?
[00:46] <ActionParsnip> kens1962: you can use wodim for cli burning
[00:46] <len_> mattgyver, hey it worked :) tyyy so much
[00:47] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding: sorry, what is on what line?
[00:47] <m_fulder> why is that? link:  h20n2-ld-c-a31.ias.bredband.telia.com
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> m_fulder: 777 on www folder is asking for problems
[00:47] <kens1962> i just want a program i can burn cd's with
[00:47] <kens1962> just tell me sudo apt-get install blah blah blah
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> kens1962: any in the list ubottu gave willwork
[00:47] <scott_ino> kens1962, there's tons, one of which is even installed by default
[00:47] <m_fulder> well not 777 then .. but 744 or something
[00:47] <kens1962> where can i find it
[00:47] <ActionParsnip> kens1962: ubuntu comes with brasero by default
[00:47] <kens1962> how do i find
[00:48] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: the line mentioned on the error messages
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> kens1962: its under sound / video
[00:48] <kens1962> applications?
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> kens1962: the package names are also the SAME as the things ubottu said, so you can use those in the apt-get command
[00:48] <ActionParsnip> kens1962: yes
[00:48] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding: when i unzipped the file, the directory contains a makefile, i ran it and
[00:49] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding: it returned the following
[00:49] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding: make -C osdep

[00:49] <kens1962> how do i find brasero
[00:49] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: no, what is on the line 3191 in wifishfinder.c

[00:50] <goddard> is Arch the best linux OS?
[00:50] <Flare183> kens1962: Its in your applications menu under sound and video
[00:50] <hiexpo> sudo apt-get install bressaro i think
[00:50] <tensorpudding> !best | goddard
[00:50] <Flare183> !best | goddard
[00:50] <CondorDelta> join /ubuntu-es
[00:50] <ActionParsnip> goddard: there is no best ANYTHING in life
[00:50] <macmichael01> I hope I am in the right channel to ask this question. I've been playing around with a unix utility called 'at' and I am trying to use if for a simple queuing system for a python web app that I have. The problem is that when using python's subprocess lib through apache, the www-data user does not have permission to execute the request. Is there a secure way to give www-data permissions to use 'at' for the apache user?
[00:50] <hiexpo> brasero
[00:50] <kens1962> i dont see sound or video in applications
[00:50] <well_laid_lawn> CondorDelta:  try /join #ubuntu-es
[00:51] <goddard> ActionParsnip i just figured some one to give an opinion isn't it fun to take ownership?
[00:51] <scott_ino> kens1962, correct title is "Sound and video"
[00:51] <ActionParsnip> macmichael01: use: sudo at    then configure the schedule
[00:51] <CondorDelta> ups sorry
[00:51] <obengdako> kens1962 then just type Alt F2 then run brasero
[00:51] <CondorDelta> thanks well_laid_lawn
[00:51] <well_laid_lawn> np :]
[00:51] <hiexpo> !es
[00:51] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding: wifishfinder.c:3191: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments
[00:52] <obengdako> kens1962 if it works, right click your menu
[00:52] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: what is on that line, in the file
[00:52] <hiexpo> hmm
[00:52] <ActionParsnip> goddard: doesnt make it the best though, just another opinion, try a few distros and see which you like. They all have different goals
[00:52] <obengdako> kens1962 and make brasero active in your application list
[00:52] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: that is, open the file in a text editor, and read what that line says
[00:53] <hiexpo> bummer
[00:53] <prettyrobots> How do I install postfix without the prompt?
[00:53] <prettyrobots> No dialogs. Just install.
[00:53] <macmichael01> ActionParsnip: I can't use sudo b/c its a web app so it would ask me for password every time right?
[00:53] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding: i will check it
[00:53] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: actually, this is too off-topic for this channel, you would be better served asking in ##c since they actually deal with C programs
[00:53] <prettyrobots> Can't find a place where I can specify the postfix configuartion without runing thorugh the dialogs.
[00:53] <goddard> ActionParsnip why do you like Ubuntu?
[00:53] <ActionParsnip> macmichael01: only to set it up, if you use sudo at, the command will run as root and not need password
[00:53] <goddard> ActionParsnip your in here all the time
[00:54] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding:                 printf( usage );
[00:54] <adzy> does python come standard with ubuntu 10.04??
[00:54] <hiexpo> hmm
[00:54] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: okay, where did you get this software from?
[00:54] <jrib> adzy: yes
[00:55] <adzy> how do i launch it ?
[00:55] <ActionParsnip> goddard: i work 12 hour shifts and I want an easy life when I et in.Ubuntu is very bloated compared to most other distros but it does what it says on the tin and all my hardware works.I also use puppy and xpud, my fileserver used to run gentoo but it died and I cant be bothered to run through the install again
[00:55] <booi> adzy, type python
[00:55] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: edit the file by putting // in front of the printf, and do the same for the other line mentioned in the error message
[00:55] <Flare183> goddard: I use it because, its awesome for me. I've got it on all my machines
[00:56] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding:  the file is from http://www.airtightnetworks.com/home/resources/knowledge-center/wifish-finder.html
[00:56] <hiexpo> goddard,  why you like it also here in ubuntu ?
[00:56] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding:     i will edit the file
[00:56] <ActionParsnip> goddard: xpud is stupendously light but ha few drivers by default and only about 5 apps but it boots damn fast (less than 3 seconds here). Puppy again is light and quick
[00:56] <cjae_> would dd if=~/Downloads/ubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdh make a bootable usb stick?
[00:56] <adzy> thanks
[00:56] <blakkheim> cjae_: no
[00:56] <adzy> does it come with GUI or just pure txt driven
[00:57] <cjae_> blakkheim: how do I make it bootable?
[00:57] <edbian> cjae_, No because it would not install a bootloader.
[00:57] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: it doesn't seem very likely at all that this code is provided any support
[00:57] <blakkheim> cjae_: try unetbootin
[00:57] <macmichael01> ActionParsnip: right but again this is a webapp that I pipe out to the commandline from python and I would never want to be hassled with a password just to set a schedule. Here is a snippet of what I am doing: http://dpaste.com/248135/
[00:58] <Flare183> !who | adzy
[00:58] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding:  i think you are right, but it seems like a slick app
[00:58] <booi> adzy, seriously? http://lmgtfy.com/?q=python&l=1
[00:58] <adzy> sorry im newb, i never heard of it before
[00:58] <adzy> :D
[00:58] <hiexpo> yikes
[00:58] <cjae_> blakkheim: I just want to be able to install FROM the usb stick not run an OS on it
[00:58] <ActionParsnip> cjae_: you need usb-creator for that, if you use the netbook img it will work
[00:58] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: after you commented out those printf lines, try running make again
[00:58] <tripelb> google open dns has one error on its "how to setup" page. The dns's need to be sparated with a COMMA not SPACE as it says
[00:59] <corey> can anyone tell me why my cursor skips when i type (and its not my mouse)
[00:59] <adzy> booi: thanks ill read up on that :D
[00:59] <tripelb> if you unplug your mouse does it still skip corey ?
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> corey: try the boot options: i8024.reset   i8024.nomux=1    irqpoll    in various combinations
[00:59] <misteralexander> corey: PC or Laptop?
[00:59] <corey> yeah
[00:59] <corey> laptop
[00:59] <cjae_> ActionParsnip: why is the netbook image different?
[00:59] <tripelb> nevermind my suggestion
[00:59] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding:  tried it new error c:3202: error: label at end of compound statement
[00:59] <ActionParsnip> cjae_: different data structure afaik
[01:00] <corey> actionparsnip i dont understand?
[01:00] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: there is no guarantee that this code compiles at all, you might have to rewrite a lot of it, and since you don't know C that might be tough
[01:00] <Flare183> corey: Its an option on the mouse settings, you'll have to uncheck it.
[01:00] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding:  true story
[01:01] <ActionParsnip> corey: try those 3 boot options on the system. They are great at helping laptops with weird touchpads and keyboard
[01:01] <dogmatic69> hi all
[01:01] <corey> ok thanks ill look into it right now
[01:01] <misteralexander> dogmatic69: hi.
[01:01] <dogmatic69> could someone help me out with a permission error?
[01:01] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: if they were bad enough to leave broken printf statements in there, it's probable that they've not recently tested to see if it actually builds before posting the source
[01:01] <bsmith093> im trying to burn a disc and it wants to rename the files for "full windows compatability" to 64 characters. will not doing this really affect the disc in any way if i play it on windows?
[01:01] <dogmatic69> plz
[01:01] <dogmatic69> apache cant read my .htaccess
[01:01] <stbain> dogmatic69, what are the permissions on the .htaccess file?
[01:02] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding:  so its not a version thing, like will not run on 10.04
[01:02] <Scunizi> How do I change the "network" name the computer belongs to.. ??  for instance I have several computers all using "Workgroup" as the network name..
[01:02] <macmichael01> ActionParsnip: Is there something that I could at to the sudoers file that would allow www-data the ability to set the 'at' queue without ever asking for a password but not become some sort of security risk.
[01:02] <corey> sorry guys im really confused i just checked my mouse settings and i dont see anything about boot options for the mouse or i8024.reset
[01:02] <boywonder> Scunizi,  you still about?
[01:02] <Scunizi> boywonder: yep
[01:02] <dogmatic69> stbain: -rwxr-xrwx
[01:03] <dogmatic69> and i own it
[01:03] <misteralexander> How do I change the "Volume Lable" of my external media?  I have tried & it says "Operation Isn't Supported By Backend" . . . any ideas?
[01:03] <tensorpudding> BK_MAN: It most probably isn't an Ubuntu issue, it might be old software that depends on features from old versions of GCC, or just really badly coded
[01:03] <BK_MAN> tensorpudding:  OK thanks for all the help!
[01:03] <stbain> dogmatic69, might just be that apache is not configured to AllowOverride
[01:03] <boywonder> Scunizi,  ive been looking into putty to use with cygwin(if you heard of that?) now the x in putty is confusing me,can you help out ?
[01:03] <ActionParsnip> macmichael01: i guess, i've not played with sudoers though
[01:04] <dogmatic69> stbain: yes.. that is it i think
[01:04] <dogmatic69> had this before and could not remember the issue, but you reminded me
[01:04] <edbian> boywonder, I've heard of that.
[01:04] <jrib> !label | misteralexander
[01:04] <stbain> dogmatic69, you may want to look that up in the Apache docs and ask in the #apache channel
[01:04] <Flare183> corey: I'll show you hold on
[01:04] <Kendalja> well wtf
[01:04] <Scunizi> boywonder: not much.. just that if you're going to run remote X in windows via putty you have to install X in windows.
[01:04] <corey> ok thank you
[01:04] <dogmatic69> stbain: #httpd :P
[01:04] <misteralexander> jrib: I'll check that out, thanks!
[01:04] <Kendalja> when I click on "network" my computer is there but how do I get it to ask for username and password?
[01:04] <dogmatic69> #apache only tell you to go there
[01:05] <stbain> dogmatic69, makes sense... #apache is so much more than just httpd now
[01:05] <stbain> err... Apache, not #apache
[01:05] <Kendalja> nothing is in keyring
[01:05] <boywonder> im thinking to get me out of trouble i just need to access say the root in the windows machine
[01:05] <dogmatic69> ye
[01:05] <boywonder> im not looking to run x in ubuntu?
[01:06] <Scunizi> boywonder: it's a lot of reading..
[01:06] <corey> flare i might add im using kubuntu 10.04
[01:06] <stbain> boywonder, you may want to look into the server version then
[01:06] <corey> i should have said that fromt he begining sorry
[01:07] <boywonder> well they do a cygwin-x,but if im not needing to connect win~ubuntu then it may work?
[01:07] <boywonder> to just get the command line via ssh
[01:07] <Flare183> corey: http://flare183.net/screenshots/Screenshot-Mouse%20Preferences.png
[01:08] <boywonder> oh i need to file transfer
[01:08] <corey> that link doesnt work for me
[01:08] <Flare183> corey: it should
[01:08] <stbain> boywonder, plenty of ways to accomplish that. SCP, ftp, etc. etc.
[01:08] <corey> says unable to connect (using firefox)
[01:08] <Flare183> corey: try it now
[01:08] <Flare183> wow
[01:08] <corey> ok
[01:09]  * dddw is off
[01:09] <corey> still nothing
[01:09] <Flare183> wow :/
[01:09] <Scunizi> How do I change the domain/workgroup name of the computer?
[01:09] <Kendalja> how do I get it to ask for a user name and pw?
[01:09] <Kendalja> my network
[01:10] <corey> the screenshot is blank too when i hover my mouse over your link
[01:10] <Flare183> :/
[01:10] <Flare183> corey: http://flare183.net/screenshots/Screenshot-Mouse%20Preferences.png
[01:10] <Flare183> oops

[01:11] <corey> ok i see now
[01:11] <corey> i dont havethose settings
[01:11] <Flare183> yes you do, its in the preferences menu
[01:11] <Flare183> System, Preferences, Keyboard
[01:12] <corey> im using kubuntu and when i click mouse and keyboard settings it doesnt have anything in there about the touch pad
[01:12] <Flare183> wow
[01:12] <Flare183> corey: you should have told us that
[01:12] <corey> i did mention it awhile ago
[01:12] <Xano> curious, anyone know what would cause the ubuntu install/Live CD to not get past the purple splash?
[01:12] <Flare183> I missed it, I'm sorry
[01:12] <corey> thats okay is houlda mentioned it sooner my bad
[01:13] <Xano> it just sits at a flashing cursor
[01:13] <corey> so do you know what i should do now?
[01:13] <corey> flare if i logout and login using gnome will those settings carry over to the kubuntu kde desktop?
[01:13] <Flare183> Xano: Try going to the first or the second virtual terminals
[01:13] <Flare183> corey: I'm not sure
[01:14] <robotti^> how to change uppercase letters from filenames to lowercase? I have directory full of files names picture01.JPG picture02.JPG
[01:14] <OY1R> i have a C-Media USB soundcard hooked to my laptop running Ubuntu 8.10, use it for ham digimodes, it works ok but the master volume always goes up to full after a while, and it's adjustment is erratic if i drag the slider it hops around and often goes down to 0. it's using alsa. help.
[01:14] <Flare183> corey: I haven't used KDE in a good long while
[01:14] <robotti^> how to change them all lowercase?
[01:14] <corey> i guess ill try that then
[01:14] <corey> thanks for helpin me
[01:15] <Scunizi> corey: what's your kde question?
[01:16] <corey> i just noticed something,.....under mouse settings in kubuntu, all of my touchpad settings are disabled and greyed out,.....how can i enable this
[01:16] <corey> my touch pad is working though but i need to disable the mouse while typing so i needto get those settings working
[01:17] <Scunizi> corey: most likely those touchpad settings are for a different type of touch pad.. I'll look at mine.. but I'm running kde on a desktop.. although I do have a wacom graphics tablet plugged in. :)
[01:17] <gswindle>  /join netbeans
[01:17] <gswindle> hmm
[01:17] <corey> ok thanks

[01:18] <Flare183> gswindle: /join #netbeans
[01:18] <jkazana> robotti^:I can't tell u  exactly but you need to use find with -exec  and mv
[01:18] <n1ck6464> hello guys, i wonder if there's around any program to record and play keyboard and mouse clicks (Macro Recorder e.g. "Jitbit" "AutoIt", but they all for windows)?
[01:18] <icarus-c> robotti^,  echo "blAhHHHH" | tc [:upper:] [:lower:]
[01:19] <Scunizi> corey: yea.. mine is greyed out too.. but then I don't have a touchpad..
[01:19] <icarus-c> robotti^,  echo "blAhHHHH" | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]  # should be tr instead of tc
[01:19] <wdarosh> Anyone got a minute - I have a bit of a situation with a server
[01:19] <corey> Scuniz my original problem is my mouse skips while i type, but it does it even when i dont hit the mouse
[01:19] <Jordan_U> !asl | wdarosh
[01:19] <jkazana> icarus-s:thnx good to know
[01:19] <Jordan_U> !ask | wdarosh
[01:20] <icarus-c> robotti^, or you want the rename part too?
[01:20] <Jordan_U> wdarosh: Sorry about that first message from ubottu :)
[01:20] <corey> im using kubuntu, but if i dropped down to gnome by login out of this kde and then checked disable mouse when typing in gnome would it carry those settings over to kubuntu?

[01:35] <beilabs> Anyone having issues with stalling?
[01:36] <slyboots> Evening
[01:36] <Flomaster> jrib:  im looking to remame every from in a frolder from   foo.jpg foo - bar.jpg  to  foo.png and foo - bar.png

[01:37] <jrib> Flomaster: that made little sense to me, but use rename
[01:37] <slyboots> Im just rying to figure out a way to present the logs in a readable format

[01:38] <jrib> Flomaster: so you don't want to just rename files, you want to convert jpeg to png?
[01:38] <wasnik> hi guys ubuntu does not detect my on board conexant soundcard
[01:39] <dragonsaint> beilabs: im not getting any sound problems except w/ skype
[01:39] <Flomaster> jrib: yeah while only chaning the file extension  not the name, idon't need anything else to change but jpg

[01:42] <rames> ...hi all - can anyone explain the difference between ubuntu netbook remix and unr 2d??
[01:43] <jrib> Guest61989: what aren't you sure about?
[01:43] <blakkheim> Guest61989: sitetoblock.com <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:43] <william> leaving
[01:43] <william> oh, nevermind
[01:43] <Guest61989> it's not working with <IP_ADDRESS>, the net is working through a network proxy
[01:44] <armyriad> Which JRE should I install?
[01:44] <jrib> Guest61989: you need to show the channel what you are doing exactly (use pastebin)
[01:44] <Guest61989> do I need to keep the network ip in hosts file?
[01:44] <jrib> !java > armyriad
[01:45] <armyriad> jrib: I know how to install Java. I'm just wondering if I should install the official JRE from Sun or the open-source one.
[01:45] <dublisk> Hi, I want to access my ubuntu desktop remotely, how do I setup the vncserver though?
[01:45] <Guest61989> there aren't any errors to use pastebin, even when I append a site to hosts, it works nicely in firefox
[01:45] <jrib> armyriad: install the one you want
[01:46] <armyriad> jrib: I want to know which one is better.
[01:46] <uman> armyriad: if you don't care about philosophical issues of software freedom or whatever
[01:46] <uman> armyriad: install the real oen
[01:46] <jrib> armyriad: "better" is subjective.  It depends on what you value.
[01:46] <Primedeath> Guys, is there anyway to change how close to the edge of a window I have to be to allow resizing?
[01:46] <uman> armyriad: if you drink Richard Stallman's kool-aid, install the OSS one
[01:46] <Guest61989> do I need to give the network proxy in hosts?
[01:46] <Primedeath> I have a very touchy touchpad and I cannot seem to make windows smaller/bigger that easily. It's twitchy and I seem to have to be dead-on.
[01:47] <SilverStrand> anyone here ?
[01:47] <l34k> does ubuntu support dual screens?
[01:47] <SilverStrand> ok great... :)
[01:47] <SilverStrand> ive got problems with my appearance thing.
[01:47] <Guest61989> sory,time out
[01:47] <Guest61989> I have to go know
[01:47] <Guest61989> now
[01:48] <SilverStrand> whenever i reboot, my appearance >> visualeffects >> are set to none
[01:48] <Guest61989> I'll be back some hours later, I'm pksadiq
[01:48] <jrib> l34k: yes
[01:48] <SilverStrand> so i get no visual effects + my title bar doesnt show up
[01:48] <SilverStrand> im on 2.99 Ghz, 700 ram, intel 940 128mb ....
[01:49] <SilverStrand> using ubuntu 10.04
[01:49] <Kendalja> hi
[01:49] <SilverStrand> when i go to appearance and do "normal", it goes ok again
[01:49] <SilverStrand> pls help me
[01:49] <Xano> curious, anyone know what would cause the ubuntu install/Live CD to not get past the purple splash?
[01:49] <Kendalja> grrr
[01:49] <beilabs> just did a restart, now have no soundcard for input....wtf?
[01:50] <beilabs> or output
[01:50] <Primedeath> I love Linux for my sound, Linux audio driver is the only one able to use my laptops subwoofer. :D
[01:50] <pudgypaw> @SilverStrand what graphics card u got
[01:50] <Kendalja> I have shares on my osx computer
[01:51] <Kendalja> Ubuntu sees them but when I click on em i get no user name or password
[01:51] <SilverStrand> pudgypaw: intel 940
[01:51] <Roasted> So I cannot uninstall or install anything due to mediatomb... I get an error about it being a subprocess or some garbage, even though I'm trying to install things like skype, etc. Any ideas?
[01:51] <Kendalja> how do I setup ubuntu to ask for username and pass?
[01:51] <pudgypaw> integrated right?
[01:51] <SilverStrand> or 910
[01:51] <SilverStrand> not sure
[01:51] <SilverStrand> but yes
[01:51] <SilverStrand> integrated
[01:51] <FloodBot2> SilverStrand: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:51] <Flare183> !enter | SilverStrand
[01:51] <SilverStrand> sorry*
[01:51] <pudgypaw> I got ATI and it gave me drivers for that before allowing me to switch effects up
[01:52] <tensorpudding> Kendalja: Check out the User Settings menu
[01:52] <SilverStrand> pudgypaw: everything works smooth here but...
[01:52] <pudgypaw> if u go System>Admin>hardware, it can scan for hardware and new drivers
[01:52] <SilverStrand> somethings wrong with reboot i guess
[01:52] <tensorpudding> Kendalja: make sure that your user has password asked at login
[01:52] <pudgypaw> possible
[01:52] <pudgypaw> even with me it takes 2 reboots and setting it to make changes survive reboot
[01:52] <Primedeath> Anyone here know how I can adjust how sensitive window adjusting is? I have a touchy touchpad and I can't seem to stay on that one pixel for long enough to start window resizing.
[01:53] <SilverStrand> pudgypaw: each time i click "normal" it searches for available drivers for a while and then everything comes back
[01:53] <tensorpudding> Kendalja: sorry, Users and Groups, under System -> Administration
[01:53] <SilverStrand> dunno why it cant do that automatically with ever y boot
[01:53] <pudgypaw> ah, then taht means it can't find any means to do 2D/3D acceleration
[01:53] <pudgypaw> at least, not on startup
[01:53] <pudgypaw> dunno why
[01:54] <SilverStrand> i went to harware thing u showed... it searched, but there is nothing in the list :/
[01:54] <pudgypaw> but since that graphics card is integrated not dedicated, wouldn't expect too much
[01:54] <pudgypaw> prolly means ubuntu hasn't placed ur particular gcard on file
[01:54] <pudgypaw> prolly cuz it's integrated
[01:54] <SilverStrand> pudgypaw: it actually runs quite smoothly with winflip and stuff..... but dunno why it cant get this in reboot :/
[01:54] <SilverStrand> lol
[01:54] <SilverStrand> integrated sucks i know
[01:55] <pudgypaw> someone else might be able to teach u to write some script
[01:55] <SilverStrand> any way to do it ?
[01:55] <pudgypaw> and plunk it somewhere
[01:55] <SilverStrand> mmmm
[01:55] <pudgypaw> i myself have no idea on writing one
[01:55] <SilverStrand> who and where ?
[01:55] <pudgypaw> dunno XD gotta ask someone else
[01:55] <SilverStrand> i tried forums but nothings there on it.
[01:55] <pudgypaw> maybe search "startup scripts"
[01:55] <SilverStrand> some say u need drivers.... some say u need compizfusionicon
[01:55] <SilverStrand> stuff doesnt work anyway
[01:56] <pudgypaw> nah, a version of compiz is preinstalled
[01:56] <pudgypaw> maybe try maverick
[01:56] <SilverStrand> compiz wasnt there in mine
[01:56] <SilverStrand> i had to install it seperately
[01:56] <pudgypaw> interestign
[01:57] <SilverStrand> ive done so many updates on ubuntu with my sucking net that im really not enthusiatic about reinstalling it
[01:57] <pudgypaw> speed?
[01:57] <SilverStrand> i do think that ive screwed up someting somewhere but... i hope not
[01:57] <SilverStrand> pudgypaw: speed is good.
[01:57] <SilverStrand> oh
[01:57] <SilverStrand> no no
[01:57] <SilverStrand> speed is ok sorta
[01:57] <FloodBot2> SilverStrand: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:57] <SilverStrand> :P
[01:57] <SilverStrand> will take around 2 hrs to do all updates so far
[01:58] <SilverStrand> :/
[01:58] <pudgypaw> ic
[01:58] <SilverStrand> i thought u were asking pc speed :P
[01:58] <SilverStrand> silly me
[01:59] <xase> This bot has a terrible concept of flooding.
[01:59] <SilverStrand> im new to ubuntu, so dont know a ting about scripting
[01:59] <SilverStrand> xase: yeah !
[01:59] <xase> SilverStrand, what are you trying to script?
[02:00] <Flare183> :/
[02:00] <SilverStrand> xase: im trying to do anything that will allow me to do this : Appearance >> Visual Effects >> normal
[02:00] <SilverStrand> with every reboot
[02:00] <xase> ...
[02:00] <JoTed> My ubuntu laptop just has a problem now. I installed it with the encrypted option for the alternative disc. My laptop has worked fine for the last several months. Now when I boot, after I put in my cryptfs password, I get 'No init found. Try passing init= bootarg., I get an (initramfs) boot terminal. How can I fix this?
[02:00] <xase> Just uninstall compiz?
[02:00] <SilverStrand> by default, it doesnt
[02:00] <SilverStrand> xase: NO !
[02:00] <xase> ...
[02:00] <xase> Why?
[02:00] <SilverStrand> i need the effects
[02:00] <xase> ...
[02:00] <SilverStrand> :D
[02:00] <xase> but you want them disabled?
[02:00] <pudgypaw> lol
[02:00] <FloodBot2> xase: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:00] <SilverStrand> thats the fun of it
[02:01] <SilverStrand> no i dont wanna disable them
[02:01] <SilverStrand> look
[02:01] <FloodBot2> SilverStrand: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:01] <xase> Show.
[02:01] <SilverStrand> for effects i want, themes + windowglow + win flip
[02:01] <SilverStrand> nothing else
[02:01] <pudgypaw> windowglow?
[02:01] <xase> Then set it up using CCSM
[02:01] <SilverStrand> pudgypaw: yeah... the blue glow that u get... from window borders
[02:02] <xase> blue?
[02:02] <xase> Mines green ;)
[02:02] <SilverStrand> k wotever :P
[02:02] <fakhir> hello I am wondering why Disk Swap is being used when over 50% of my RAM is being used for cache.
[02:02] <SilverStrand> u can configure it
[02:02] <xase> Yes.
[02:02] <xase> With Compiz Config Settings Manager
[02:02] <xase> !ccsm
[02:02] <tcliam_> I have an XP virtual machine running on Virtualbox in my ubuntu host. I am having a problem where they can't connect to each other no ping or anything. they were working when I first set them up however. Any ideas of what might be stopping them from connecting to one another?
[02:02] <SilverStrand> xase : its in window decorations
[02:02] <xase> ... are you talking KDE or GNOME?
[02:03] <SilverStrand> gnome
[02:03] <SilverStrand> im on ubuntu
[02:03] <xase> Then what do your visual effects have to do with window decorations?
[02:03] <SilverStrand> xase: when i reboot, it doesnt show my title bar...
[02:03] <xase> Decorations are just looks, every piece of eyecandy otherwise is compiz.
[02:03] <xase> Oh.
[02:03] <xase> You're using Emerald?
[02:03] <pudgypaw> @tcliam_, I think under internet settings u can switch to bridged
[02:03] <SilverStrand> so when i go to appearance and visual effect and do it normal, it all comes back
[02:03] <pudgypaw> when the VM isn't running
[02:03] <SilverStrand> xase: i tried sudo aptget remove emerald
[02:04] <xase> Compiz seems setup to do something weird.
[02:04] <SilverStrand> it said i dont have it
[02:04] <xase> Yes.
[02:04] <misteralexander> Howdy
[02:04] <SilverStrand> emerald thing was on some forum but it doesnt work for me i guess
[02:04] <xase> But compiz might still be trying to use it, if the use window decorations is enabled in your config.
[02:04] <dexi> >.>
[02:04] <xase> Did you try emerald --replace ?
[02:04] <SilverStrand> wot ?
[02:04] <xase> Or running it as a start up script?
[02:04] <misteralexander> I'm trying to get HDMI Out working on 10.04 x64 . . . does it not work out of the box?
[02:04] <SilverStrand> xase: pls explain some more, i dont know this stuff
[02:05] <SilverStrand> im new to ubuntu
[02:05] <xase> Or using compiz-fusion icon to manage even more settings like turning compiz off and on the fly.
[02:05] <xase> !ccsm
[02:05] <SilverStrand> how do i do that ?
[02:05] <xase> sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[02:05] <xase> or you could use simple-ccsm
[02:06] <xase> I prefer the full blown.
[02:06] <SilverStrand> its already there it says
[02:06] <SilverStrand> newest
[02:06] <xase> Press alt+f2
[02:06] <Andre_Gondim> how may I finish my session with command line?
[02:06] <xase> and type in compizconfig-settings manager
[02:06] <xase> Andre_Gondim, 'exit' ?
[02:06] <xase> misteralexander, good luck on HDMI out.
[02:06] <pudgypaw> @misteralexander - make sure your drivers are installed first
[02:07] <Andre_Gondim> xase, this only finish my terminal, I said my gnome, for example
[02:07] <SilverStrand> xase: couldnt open
[02:07] <Andre_Gondim> and goes to gdm
[02:07] <theDrPoO> is there a way of allowing a user to execute a command that only admin users can, but without giving that user admin privileges?
[02:07] <pudgypaw> mine worked out of the box but then again, my gcard only output DVI and i use a converter
[02:07] <xase> SilverStrand, try installing simple ccsm
[02:07] <SilverStrand> and how do i do that ?
[02:07] <xase> theDrPoO, sudo
[02:07] <xase> SilverStrand, sudo apt-get install simple-ccsm
[02:08] <xase> or use synaptic if you don't like the terminal.
[02:08] <theDrPoO> xase, but i dont want to give the user sudo privileges
[02:08] <SilverStrand> ok thanks :)
[02:08] <xase> Well theDrPoO you can make a new group and add the user to it.
[02:08] <xase> and set it to be able to do the task you want it.
[02:08] <SilverStrand> done
[02:08] <xase> But that's out of my scope.
[02:08] <xase> SilverStrand, look in the appearance under visual effects
[02:09] <xase> there should be a button now to configure compiz
[02:09] <SilverStrand> whoa
[02:09] <SilverStrand> i got a custom button
[02:09] <theDrPoO> xase, but can i give the group permissions to execute a command?
[02:09] <meh2> hey guys, anyone know how to completely remove openvpn?

[02:23] <xase> I'm from North America and my English sucks.
[02:23] <javatexan> is there a way to get ubuntu to recreate the shortcuts in main menu for wine?
[02:24] <notheone> yes
[02:24] <xase> javatexan, it should do that natively?
[02:24] <xase> It does for me.
[02:24] <SwamFin99> goddamit
[02:24] <SwamFin99> i cant send to the arch channel
[02:24] <SwamFin99> anyoen know why?
[02:24] <well_laid_lawn> SwamFin99:  you need to be registered
[02:24] <javatexan> xase: it did that the first time, but since I removed them to do "reinstall", they won't come back
[02:24] <SwamFin99> where do i register?
[02:24] <|Sacred|> via nickserv
[02:24] <well_laid_lawn> !register
[02:24] <rww> ubottu: register | SwamFin99
[02:25] <SwamFin99> sweet thx man

[02:25] <SilverStrand> hey guys !! can i delete the stuff that this terminal thingy downloads ?
[02:25] <Daniel> i think ubuntu
[02:25] <Daniel> is better than windows
[02:25] <Daniel> it's free
[02:25] <SwamFin99> bought a netbook
[02:25] <SilverStrand> cuz  i think im gonna run short of space on ubuntu drive
[02:25] <Daniel> and easy
[02:25] <SwamFin99> slow as hell on win7
[02:25] <FloodBot2> Daniel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:25] <notheone> ubuntu
[02:25] <SwamFin99> so i put 10.04 on
[02:25] <SwamFin99> not a massive fan
[02:25] <Daniel> haha
[02:26] <notheone> I fail to use internet
[02:26] <SwamFin99> still too slow on crappy netbook hardware haha
[02:26] <Daniel> minimun requirements in win7
[02:26] <SwamFin99> teh integration is awesome though
[02:26] <Daniel> lol
[02:26] <SwamFin99> its come a long way
[02:26] <Daniel> i had win7
[02:26] <Daniel> it's pretty good
[02:26] <SilverStrand> hey guys !! can i delete the stuff that this terminal thingy downloads ?
[02:26] <SilverStrand> cuz  i think im gonna run short of space on ubuntu drive
[02:26] <Daniel> but at the same time
[02:26] <Daniel> is a scrap
[02:26] <|Sacred|> SilverStrand ?
[02:27] <Daniel> i had deactivated vissual effects and superfetch
[02:27] <|Sacred|> you mean delete the files used after wget or something?
[02:27] <Daniel> and it's still conssupting 780MB of Ram
[02:27] <|Sacred|> or via apt?
[02:27] <SilverStrand> yup
[02:27] <Daniel> i have 1 GB
[02:27] <Sgeo> How do I get Firefox to import Chromium's settings?
[02:27] <Daniel> anyway
[02:27] <SwamFin99> ubuntu has gotten so ridiculously big though
[02:27] <Guest76615> guys whats the best player to watch dvds on ubuntu
[02:27] <|Sacred|> sure, after you do what you need to with the files, delete em if you want
[02:27] <Guest76615> ?
[02:27] <Daniel> this is an ubuntu irc
[02:27] <SwamFin99> i mustvwe used it back at like 5.04
[02:27] <SilverStrand> like... delete whatever packages it downloaded
[02:27] <|Sacred|> vlc
[02:27] <SilverStrand> once its installed
[02:27] <|Sacred|> imo
[02:27] <Xlive> thanks
[02:28] <Daniel> maybe the default
[02:28] <SilverStrand> |Sacred|: how do i delete them ?
[02:28] <|Sacred|> SilverStrand yes, once you've completed what you want to do with the files, or even after extraction, rm em
[02:28] <Daniel> you can download codecs for it
[02:28] <SilverStrand> from where ?
[02:28] <|Sacred|> from wherever you downloaded them to
[02:28] <SilverStrand> no !
[02:28] <|Sacred|> probably in ~/home
[02:28] <Daniel> whe you are attempting to open a file
[02:28] <SilverStrand> it was in terminal  so i dunno where it did
[02:28] <Daniel> a video a .mp3
[02:28] <Daniel> or something
[02:28] <|Sacred|> check home dir
[02:28] <Daniel> if this doesn't have the codecs
[02:29] <Daniel> it tells you
[02:29] <Daniel> if you want to look for that codecs
[02:29] <Daniel> and the applicattion makes everything for you
[02:29] <aj00200> I have a Toshiba Satellite (L655D-S5050) laptop, but I can't connect to the internet through WiFi, or a Ethernet cable. Any ideas?
[02:30] <Daniel> maybe is the network manager
[02:30] <Daniel> i had a huawei e156b
[02:30] <Daniel> with comcel
[02:30] <Daniel> and
[02:30] <Daniel> at first
[02:30] <Daniel> ubuntu
[02:30] <FloodBot2> Daniel: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:30] <Daniel> recognized it
[02:31] <Xlive> I have another question .. when I was using windows I was able to do few downloads without getting my connection slow . but when I moved to linux net sufing get alot slower when I dwnload somthing
[02:31] <Xlive> why is that ?
[02:32] <Daniel> maybe is the server
[02:32] <|Sacred|> have you tried doing a speedtest?
[02:32] <aj00200> Xlive: that depends on a lot of things, from the speed of the server your downloading from, to how many other things your downloading, and even how many people are using your ISP at that time
[02:32] <Daniel> no
[02:32] <|Sacred|> at least do a speedtest
[02:32] <Xlive> umm well hold on a sec .. lets do a speed test 1st
[02:32] <|Sacred|> might just be remote servers over-loaded
[02:33] <Xlive> Im download vlc player and I can even go to the google :(
[02:33] <BHSPitMonkey> When I updated from Karmic to Lucid, my GDM theme stayed the same. How can I change it, now that the old GDM theme settings options are gone?
[02:35] <Xlive> ok I took a speed test
[02:35] <Xlive> http://www.speedtest.net/result/965195184.png
[02:35] <Xlive> well speed is normal like this
[02:35] <Xlive> but when I download somthing .. it gets damn slow :(
[02:35] <Xlive> cant even goto the google
[02:36] <Guest22429> I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 as well as mediatomb from the software center. Now mediatomb is giving me massive issues. I cannot uninstall or install ANYTHING. It gives me an error about dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: and mentions mediatomb. Any ideas?
[02:36] <Daniel> which is your download speed?
[02:36] <Xlive> 43
[02:36] <bgdn86> 44
[02:36] <Daniel> kbps?
[02:36] <Xlive> my connection is a 512/kbps connection
[02:36] <Blue1> the answeris 42!
[02:37] <Daniel> i have a 300kbps
[02:37] <Daniel> 30 /kbps download
[02:37] <Daniel> is pretty fast
[02:37] <Xlive> well it is fast when ur doing one thing
[02:38] <Daniel> hahaha!
[02:38] <Xlive> when it goes like .. if u put a youtube video on buffer and gofor net surf you wont be able to do it :/
[02:38] <sweetpi> oh wow 0.43Mb/s down 0.10Mb/s up no wonder its lagging
[02:38] <Xlive> i dont know about you .. but I cant =/
[02:38] <Daniel> 3 hours to update the repositories
[02:38] <Daniel> ubuntu 9.10
[02:38] <miststlkr> hopefully a quick question, using the gnome-terminal's rename command with regexp, is there a way to string them ogether somehow rather than run the rename several times ina  row?
[02:38] <Daniel> when i had the modem
[02:39] <Dr_Willis> miststlkr:  you want to rename se4veral files? or what exactly?
[02:39] <Daniel> huawei e 156b
[02:39] <|Sacred|> jesus, 0.43...thats horrible
[02:39] <Xlive> yea I know
[02:39] <Daniel> it reached the lowest speed!!
[02:39] <|Sacred|> is that what you're paying for?
[02:39] <[thor]> miststlkr: using the && maybe?
[02:39] <Xlive> but thats only package we get for home's
[02:39] <thune3> javatexan: the "menu" files are in .config/menus/applications-merged/ , if you still have the .desktop files in .local/share/applications/wine/Programs/ you might be able to use them to put in the menu
[02:39] <Daniel> 0123 B/s
[02:39] <[thor]> miststlkr: firstcommand && secondcommand && thirdcommand
[02:39] <|Sacred|> oh thats ok, I just wondered if you were paying for 10mbit and getting that, is all
[02:39] <miststlkr> [thor]:  thanks
[02:39] <SilverStrand> guys !! can i delete stuff safely from /var/cache/ ?
[02:39] <tyler_d> miststlkr: use a for loop, ie. for i in $(find -name "name of file") ; do "your regexp command"
[02:40] <Xlive> umm we pay like 15$
[02:40] <Xlive> for that
[02:40] <Daniel> dont know
[02:40] <Xlive> its not much .. still
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> SilverStrand:  Some things can be delete4d safely.. somt things can cause issues if deleted
[02:40] <Daniel> i must try that
[02:40] <SilverStrand> Dr_Willis: even in cache ?
[02:40] <SilverStrand> o_O
[02:40] <Samual> Hey, I seem to have an issue with Compiz, afer a while (2 hours uptime this time) it just starts to perform really badly (At 1fps the whole time) whereas normally it's fine. There's no extra swap/RAM/CPU usage, it's just slower. If I replace it with another WM after it becomes slow, it's back to normal
[02:40] <Daniel> i recommend you Kleansweep
[02:40] <Daniel> its dangerous
[02:40] <miststlkr> Dr_Willis:  multiple.  I can get that no problem, but only figured out one change at a time.
[02:40] <Dr_Willis> SilverStrand:  yes...  you remove the wrong things in /var/cache/apt/  and you can have issues
[02:40] <Daniel> you must be careful with that thing
[02:41] <SilverStrand> damn..... thats just wot i was going to do
[02:41] <SilverStrand> :P
[02:41] <tyler_d> samual: check your restricted video card drivers
[02:41] <SilverStrand> its the most spacekeeping thing on my drive
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> SilverStrand:  apt can get mad if you remove a directrory name from its /var/cache/apt dir....
[02:41] <Samual> tyler_d, they're already installed though?
[02:41] <Daniel> hey!
[02:41] <Samual> Compositing is enabled of course.
[02:41] <Daniel> if wanna clean your pc
[02:41] <Dr_Willis> SilverStrand:   theres parts of it you can clean out.. the apt cache may be the biggest thing.. theres comm,ands to clean that
[02:41] <Daniel> you must download the ubuclenaer
[02:42] <tyler_d> Samual: try a different one and see if it helps at all.
[02:42] <SilverStrand> Dr_Willis: there are 275 mb of deb files
[02:42] <SilverStrand> can i delete tem ?
[02:42] <Daniel> or you can try this
[02:42] <Xlive> :'(
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> USE the proper commands...
[02:42] <Guest22429> I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 as well as mediatomb from the software center. Now mediatomb is giving me massive issues. I cannot uninstall or install ANYTHING. It gives me an error about dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: and mentions mediatomb. Any ideas?
[02:42] <SilverStrand> cant i just "shift+delte" them ?
[02:42] <thune3> SilverStrand: exactly, use apt-get clean
[02:42] <Daniel> sudo apt-get install clean
[02:42] <Dr_Willis> SilverStrand:  sudo apt-get autoremove or clean
[02:42] <Daniel> sudo apt-get install autoclean
[02:42] <Daniel> sudo apt-get install autoremove
[02:43] <SilverStrand> urm k
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> Daniel:  err... try again. :)
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> no 'install' in those commands Daniel
[02:43] <Daniel> it's install
[02:43] <Samual> tyler_d, that makes no sense.. it's the current version... The recommended one.
[02:43] <Daniel> i did it
[02:43] <Daniel> with install
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> sudo apt-get auto<TAB>
[02:43] <Dr_Willis>  sudo apt-get auto
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> autoclean   autoremove
[02:43] <Samual> tyler_d, if it was the driver, iother people would have this issue.
[02:43] <Dr_Willis> Tab completion works with apt-get :)
[02:44] <Daniel> i'm gonna try that
[02:44] <tyler_d> Samual: k sorry then. have to wait for another suggestion.
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> $ sudo apt-get install autoremove
[02:44] <miststlkr> [thor]: no luck there.  I tried as follows:    rename 's/./ /' * && rename 's/ avi/.avi/' *   and tried leaving out the second "rename" and just putting in the two regexp with the &&'s between them, neither worked
[02:44] <Dr_Willis> E: Unable to locate package autoremove
[02:44] <Daniel> oh!
[02:44] <SilverStrand> it juist cleaned 55 mb :/
[02:44] <SilverStrand> not all
[02:44] <Daniel> yeah i'm wrong
[02:44] <Daniel> without install
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> SilverStrand:  if you are worrying about 55mb.. it may be time to buy a biger HD,
[02:45] <thune3> SilverStrand: apt-get clean will purge all .deb files, as opposed to just those not needed
[02:45] <SilverStrand> lol
[02:45] <SilverStrand> i got 135 mb free on my hd can u imagine that ?
[02:45] <SilverStrand> im on 65 gb hd
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> my /var/cache is 2.2 gb
[02:45] <SilverStrand> sheesh
[02:45] <Dr_Willis> ive seen it much higher
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> I got 6gb of just wallpaper and themes and icons  on here.
[02:46] <SilverStrand> rite now its 220 mb
[02:46]  * SilverStrand robs Dr_Willis' hd
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> !info bleachbit
[02:46] <Dr_Willis> SilverStrand:  2TB hds on sale $108
[02:46] <Guest22429> I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 as well as mediatomb from the software center. Now mediatomb is giving me massive issues. I cannot uninstall or install ANYTHING. It gives me an error about dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting: and mentions mediatomb. Any ideas?
[02:47] <SilverStrand> Dr_Willis: ive seen them much lower
[02:47] <SilverStrand> ~70 $s
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> SilverStrand:  these were external USB
[02:47] <SilverStrand> but i cant buy them
[02:47] <SilverStrand> im not in us
[02:47] <Dr_Willis> the internal were same $$ this was about a month ago. i got 2. :)
[02:47] <slyboots> Guest22429: apt-get remove --purge mediatomb
[02:47] <slyboots> Or sudo apt-get install autoinstall -f
[02:47] <Guest22429> slyboots, if I went into synaptic and did "completely remote" could that be the same thing as remove --purge?
[02:48] <Guest22429> slyboots, tried that too, the install -f. didnt help
[02:48] <SilverStrand> i think ill have to reframe my drives..... freeu p some space
[02:48] <SilverStrand> and then... reinstall ubuntu :/
[02:48] <miststlkr> anyone with another suggestion perhaps?  pass the results of a rename command into another
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> SilverStrand:  sounds like windows thinking...
[02:48] <Dr_Willis> miststlkr:  clarify exactly what you are doing and how/what/why
[02:50] <miststlkr> Dr_Willis:  I did above.  rather than run, for example, rename 'y/./ /' * [enter] rename 's/ avi/.avi/' * [enter]  etc, pass them all in one line
[02:50] <blkpnthr> hello all
[02:51] <Daniel> someone can bring me a tutorial for wxGlade?
[02:51] <pw-toxic> hi
[02:51] <pw-toxic> im trying to install vnc4server and in the wiki it says that i have to configure /etc/vnc.conf but this file doesnt exist?
[02:52] <thune3> miststlkr: you might try ; instead of &&, it will execute the next command regardless of the "success" of the previous command.
[02:52] <miststlkr> thune3:   thanks, giving it a shot now.
[02:53] <miststlkr> thune3:  no luck.
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> miststlkr:  i tend to use 'qmv' to do complex renaming of lots of files..  'qmv -f do -e geany' edit the list how i like.. save/exit.. all changes get applied
[02:53] <Dr_Willis> bye all
[02:54] <MattTheComputerG> Is it easy to install Ubuntu server over gentoo, my gento installation has teo drives "Drive 0 is the O.S." "drive 2 is the home Dir"
[02:54] <miststlkr> Dr_Willis:  not heard of that one, I'll look into it.  Thanks.
[02:54] <Roasted> Hey guys - error when installing/uninstalling anything. This is the error when I try to install an app from software center - installArchives() failed: dpkg: unrecoverable fatal error, aborting:
[02:54] <Roasted>  syntax error: unknown user 'mediatomb' in statoverride file

[02:54] <zeroedout> hi. I want to upgrade quassel on lucid to the Marverick version. what's the best way to do this? I was thinking of adding the maverick repos, upgrading quassel, then reverting back to lucid ones. would that cause any problems?
[02:55] <jiohdi> anyone know where I can find a decent tutorial about unity desktop
[02:55] <Daniel> is something from dpkg
[02:56] <Daniel> try reinstalling ubuntu
[02:56] <Daniel> xD
[02:56] <Roasted> who are you talking to
[02:56] <Daniel> to you Roasted
[02:56] <Roasted> uh, no
[02:56] <Roasted> I will not reinstall ubuntu... because I just DID install ubuntu
[02:56] <Roasted> this install is less than 24 hrs old
[02:56] <pw-toxic> how can I access the english ubuntu wiki for users?
[02:57] <pw-toxic> i think the english wiki is more up to date
[02:57] <jiohdi> Roasted: trust me, installing is easy... dont it a dozen times.... in one week :)
[02:57] <Daniel> haha!
[02:57] <Daniel> yeah
[02:57] <Daniel> i can format
[02:57] <Roasted> jiohdi, if I wanted to be on windows, I would be. But Im on linux.  Can someone look at the pastebin and suggest a solution.. I am not really good at linux yet.. thanks http://pastebin.com/hYsDf45H
[02:59] <tensorpudding> Roasted: there's a bug filed on it
[03:00] <Roasted> tensorpudding, oh really?
[03:00] <tensorpudding> it seems that the removal script wants to delete a user/group that doesn't exist
[03:00] <Roasted> tensorpudding, I dont even want mediatomb. I just want my system working....
[03:00] <Roasted> tensorpudding, but why does it effect EVERYTHING?
[03:00] <Roasted> I cant install cheese. flash. audacious. vlc. I cant do anything because of it.
[03:00] <Roasted> Everything I do yields that error.
[03:00] <tensorpudding> dpkg is designed such that if it encounters an error, it doesn't let you make the error worse
[03:00] <Daniel> so bad
[03:01] <Roasted> thats all well and good, but I want my system *working*. Do you have any ideas??
[03:01] <Daniel> do you have internet access?
[03:01] <tensorpudding> add the user and group that it claims aren't there
[03:01] <tensorpudding> then run dpkg -P mediatomb-daemon
[03:01] <Roasted> what user, and what group?
[03:01] <tensorpudding> mediatomb and mediatomb
[03:02] <Roasted> the funny thing is
[03:02] <Roasted> mediatomb isnt installed
[03:02] <pw-toxic> Daniell can you read my messsage?
[03:02] <tensorpudding> it could have been that when the package was installed there was some kind of error that shouldn't happen
[03:02] <Roasted> yet its preventing everything else from installing
[03:02] <Daniel> what message?
[03:02] <tensorpudding> that is, instead of failing atomically, it partly-installed
[03:02] <tensorpudding> Roasted: are you sure mediatomb isn't installed?
[03:03] <Roasted> tensorpudding, do you think it'd be wise of me to install it and maybe uninstall in hopes of it completing?
[03:03] <pw-toxic> im just curious because i dont get any answer by anyone for about 3 hours ;)
[03:03] <Roasted> tensorpudding, it was installed, it no longer is though
[03:03] <tensorpudding> Roasted: it sounds like it was only partially removed
[03:03] <Taymon> Hello. Can anyone help me?
[03:03] <lordres> ubuntu spanish?
[03:03] <tensorpudding> Roasted: try dpkg -C
[03:03] <tensorpudding> that audits the package database for mis-installed packages
[03:03] <Roasted> just sudo dpkg -C?
[03:03] <tensorpudding> Roasted: yes
[03:04] <Roasted> it does nothing
[03:04] <well_laid_lawn> !es | lordres
[03:04] <slooksterpsv> pw-toxic what was ur question? same with Taymon
[03:04] <Taymon> I'm pretty new to IRC, so I apologize if I do anything wrong.
[03:04] <Taymon> I can't play sound.
[03:04] <Taymon> I've tried every source I could think of.
[03:04] <slooksterpsv> Taymon, you're good - what kind of a system do you have
[03:04] <tensorpudding> Roasted: did you do the commands I said earlier, creating the user/group and running dpkg -P mediatomb-daemon?
[03:04] <Roasted> I have the user/group, but I did not run that command. my bad.
[03:04] <Taymon> You mean what version of Ubuntu am I running?
[03:04] <pw-toxic> slooksterpsv, i want to set up a vnc server.. for this i tried the tutorial in the ubuntu wiki, but it is not up to date because the file /etc/vnc.conf doesnt exist. Therefore i want to access the english ubuntuusers wiki, but i dont know how to access it
[03:04] <slooksterpsv> Taymon, yeah that and what is your hardware, acer, gateway, specific version
[03:04] <pw-toxic> slooksterpsv, i only can see the german wiki
[03:05] <slooksterpsv> pw-toxic let me see if I can find that for you
[03:05] <thune3> notworking: work through instructions given in this post (Method 2): http://www.ubuntugeek.com/virtualbox-3-2-released-and-ubuntu-installation-instructions-included.html
[03:05] <Daniel> gotta go to sleep
[03:05] <Daniel> bye and thanks for all
[03:05] <Daniel> sudo apt-get exit
[03:05] <Taymon> 10.04, Dell Studio 14/1458
[03:06] <notworking> thune3 thank you Ill try to get through it..
[03:06] <Taymon> Also, I've already cleared my .asoundrc file. It didn't help.
[03:06] <thune3> notworking: substituting actual version you are trying to install (instead of 3-2)
[03:06] <Roasted> tensorpudding, I think that worked...
[03:07] <userke> ?
[03:07] <kain> #join /ubuntu
[03:07] <slooksterpsv> pw-toxic what vnc server are you using?
[03:08] <pw-toxic> i have installed vnc4server, vnc-common, vnc-java and tightvncserver xtightvncviwer and tightvnc-java
[03:08] <tensorpudding> Roasted: try running sudo aptitude update, and see if that works
[03:08] <Xano> curious, anyone know what would cause the ubuntu install/Live CD to not get past the purple splash?  I asked earlier but i missed the answer
[03:08] <tensorpudding> Roasted: if it does, it should be working fine now
[03:08] <pw-toxic> slooksterpsv, my wiki says that they share the same configuration file
[03:08] <slooksterpsv> Taymon what does head -n 1 /proc/asound/card0/codec* - give you
[03:09] <Xano> It just goes to a flashing cursor after the purple splash screen that comes after the ISOLINUX text on screen
[03:09] <kain> hi, can anyone help me with using/installing FreeNX?
[03:09] <Taymon> Codec: Realtek ID 665
[03:09] <slooksterpsv> taymon - go through this area, there's a fix in here, trying to find it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1278146
[03:10] <quietone> can anyone talk me through what I should do to connect to internet via bluetooth to 3G phone. DUN/NAP/PAN/pan0/bnep0/WAP/ppp0! which ones do I need?
[03:11] <slooksterpsv> pw-toxic what configuration changes are you trying to make?
[03:11] <pw-toxic> the one proposed in the wiki page
[03:11] <Xano> no one has any ideaso n my issue?
[03:11] <pw-toxic> im setting up a server
[03:11] <pw-toxic> slooksterpsv, and the server is running without a monitor
[03:11] <pw-toxic> slooksterpsv, i need vnc to be available from start
[03:12] <dugger5688> quietone: what kind of phone?
[03:12] <quietone> dugger5688, nokia 2730 classic
[03:13] <slooksterpsv> pw-toxic - try this guide, I've done this one before (it's the lower portion) http://theseekersquill.wordpress.com/2010/03/16/vnc-server-ubuntu-windows/
[03:13] <dugger5688> quietone: Sorry, can't help you there but keep asking, someone is bound to know.
[03:13] <Roasted> tensorpudding, yeah things look good now. I had to manually remove the mediatomb group, but the user wasnt there. Do you know a way I can scan to see if the user mediatomb exists anywhere just to make sure?
[03:13] <Eighteens> question, i was testing my connection speed in ubuntu at speedtest.net, but noticed it was half the speed i get in windows, do i need to edit a file, and increse the mtu or something
[03:13] <pw-toxic> slooksterpsv, http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/VNC  this is the wiki page im looking at.. is there a wiki like this in english?
[03:14] <Xano> Troubles getting past splash screen, just after ISOLINUX verbage appears on screen.  After splash it shows a blinking cursor ( _ ) and nothing else.
[03:14] <vipjerrys> i have ubuntu now want to ultimate edition 2.2 it will load
[03:15] <dugger5688> Eighteens: On wireless or wired?

[03:15] <slooksterpsv> I can read it perfect using google translate - pw-toxic
[03:15] <ryan_> someone help me?
[03:15] <ryan_> Can anyone help me?
[03:15] <pw-toxic> slooksterpsv, im german myself.. i just thought that the english wiki entries are more up to date
[03:16] <ryan_> how doi add or remove programs in 10.4?
[03:16] <Xano> Ubuntu Software Centre
[03:16] <dugger5688> ryan_ Applications->Ubuntu software center
[03:16] <Xano> or use apt-get remove
[03:16] <slooksterpsv> pw-toxic it looks like the regular wiki page is months old https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers - I only use the ubuntu.com community wikis
[03:16] <Xano> Troubles getting past splash screen, just after ISOLINUX verbage appears on screen.  After splash it shows a blinking cursor ( _ ) and nothing else.
[03:16] <Xano> anyone?
[03:17] <slooksterpsv> Taymon - OSS that's what you need to install is OSS
[03:17] <ryan_> thanks i have not used ubuntu in a year and i did not see the ad/remove programs
[03:17] <enav> burn your Cd to 4 or 8 X   and try again  this is a common error when the CD have corrupted data
[03:17] <Xano> good deal, thanks enav
[03:18] <ryan_> bye guys
[03:18] <slooksterpsv> pw-toxic guess it's not a wiki but more of a common documentation, not sure about a specific wiki regarding that, sorry :(
[03:18] <Xano> i tried again but at full speed, ill have to redownload and attempt a full slow write
[03:18] <tensorpudding> Roasted: if it isn't in /etc/passwd, it doesn't exist
[03:18] <Taymon> What's OSS? I just installed the drivers that I was given the link to.
[03:18] <enav> redownload?  why... just burn the image again
[03:18] <slooksterpsv> Taymon - perfect I think its opensound system
[03:18] <Xano> just in case its the file itself on my HDD that is corrupt
[03:18] <supercom32> Hi
[03:18] <dugger5688> Xano: Try to do it on a Desktop as well. I've noticed that laptops tend not to write very reliably and the CDs they make tend to wear out.
[03:19] <MattTheComputerG> Is it easy to install Ubuntu server over gentoo, my gento installation has teo drives "Drive 0 is the O.S." "drive 2 is the home Dir"
[03:19] <slooksterpsv> Taymon, yeah after you've installed that, restart and let me know if that worked for you
[03:19] <supercom32> If your logged in to a machine multiple times, how do you kill every instance except the one your using?
[03:19] <Roasted> tensorpudding, it does exist, but it has "nologin" in the entry. mediatomb: usr/sbin/nologin. Should I delete?
[03:19] <Xano> dugger, i would but i actually dont own a desktop anymore :P
[03:19] <Taymon> Restarting. Hope it works.
[03:19] <LucidGuy> Recommendations for a decent/simple apache access.log analyzer?
[03:20] <misteralexander> I need some help with understanding the HDMI specification . . .
[03:20] <supercom32> If your logged in to a machine multiple times, how do you kill every instance except the one your using?
[03:20] <slooksterpsv> MattTheComputerG - be sure to backup drive 2 or not delete it when reformatting, I'm not sure if you can install Ubuntu server over gentoo without it reformatting the partition, but drive 2 sounds like it's your home directory which is its own drive which you shouldn't delete/format that partition/drive
[03:21] <dugger5688> Xano: Yeah man, I was in the same situation awhile ago. Just put the notebook on a table and burn it slow :-)
[03:21] <Xano> good deal, thanks again for the help all
[03:22] <tuannguyen> #wordpress
[03:22] <MattTheComputerG> Slooksterpsv, i dont wan any part of the instalation no even the home Dir...
[03:22] <misteralexander> Is HDMI a "Direction Specific" technology?  If I buy an HDMI splitter & it has 3 input and one output . . . can i just flip that around and make it 1 input and 3 output?  and still switch?
[03:23] <mobasher> what is a good firewall i can use easy to configure i'm running a webserver on local ip
[03:23] <kbutler> can anyone think of a reason why a filesystem would -appear- to be mounted rw, but would actually be ro? Ubuntu 8.10.
[03:23] <slooksterpsv> MattTheComputerG - then backup what data you need to either cds,dvds,another drive, etc. as well as configuration files (e.g. apache2 virtual host files) and then reformat, you will have to setup the services and that again though on Ubuntu Server as it will need to reinstall the programs
[03:23] <Crash1hd> hmm this makes no sense I followed the instructions to add an account to evolution to set it as Standard Unix mbox with /var/mail/ but it wont let me set the user as well no emails get recieved
[03:23] <misteralexander> I'm asking because I have a laptop that I'd like to plug up and switch between to separate TV's . . .
[03:23] <ActionParsnip> misteralexander: thats not an ubuntu question, i'd ask in ##hardware
[03:23] <kbutler> I tried remountinng already
[03:23] <slooksterpsv> Lucid: awstats looks awesome, I want it, it does analyze apache log files
[03:23] <misteralexander> ActionParsnip: okay . . . sorry.  Thanks!
[03:23] <thune3> kbutler: a filesystem that encounters errors may be remounted read-only. check dmesg, you may need an fsck
[03:23] <multipass> anyone able to help me with a Kate editor FTP problem?
[03:24] <slooksterpsv> ** LucidGuy: awstats.sourceforge.net that thing looks amazing for analyzing logs, and simple too, I'd try that, don't know how well it works personally but from the screenshots it looks amazing
[03:24] <kbutler> thune3, when I umounted the partition and ran fdisk, I got this: /sbin/fdisk: Input/output error
[03:24] <kbutler> any suggestions? :/
[03:24] <Taymon> It works! Thanks!
[03:25] <LucidGuy> slooksterpsv, thanks .. will check it out.
[03:25] <slooksterpsv> Taymon you're welcome =D
[03:25] <slooksterpsv> LucidGuy: let me know I'm going to have my friend try it out on his server
[03:25] <Izinucs> Anyone have a functional smb.conf file they'd be willing to pastebin for me.. one that work on a LAN with or without user authentication?
[03:25] <mobasher> what is a good firewall i can use easy to configure i'm running a webserver on local ip?
[03:25] <slooksterpsv> mobasher, gui or command line?
[03:27] <LucidGuy> slooksterpsv, will do.
[03:27] <tab_> how come centos debootstrap doesnt come with an install script for lucid?
[03:28] <iqbal> nick at freenode
[03:28] <lordres> s
[03:28] <lordres> hola
[03:28] <lordres> todo bien
[03:28] <multipass> anyone able to help me with a Kate editor FTP problem(cant change login/pw credentials)?
[03:28] <thune3> kbutler: dmesg | grep sdc (or whatever device)
[03:29] <lordres> ubuntu en español en donde
[03:29] <Izinucs> multipass: tell me what you're trying to do.. use kate to edit a conf file?
[03:29] <kbutler> thune3, /bin/dmesg: Input/output error
[03:30] <thune3> kbutler: you force unmounted your root partition?
[03:30] <enav> lordres: /join #ubuntu-es
[03:30] <kbutler> I have not (yet). Should I?
[03:30] <multipass> Izinucs: im just using kate for web dev stuff... editing files live. i entered some ftp username with restricted access just to try it, now i want to change the username... but cant figure out how
[03:30] <thune3> kbutler: no, i'm trying to understand your error.
[03:31] <tab_> where can i get 1.0.23 debootstrap for centos?
[03:31] <kbutler> yeah, lots of commands just return that input/output error >___<;;
[03:31] <kbutler> very worrisome
[03:31] <Izinucs> multipass: have you tried closing the connection to the server and reconnecting?
[03:31] <mobasher> slooksterpsv=}} don't think matters whatever
[03:31] <pw-toxic> slooksterpsv, in the page you showed me, they also say something about /etc/vnc.conf
[03:31] <pw-toxic> slooksterpsv, but this file doesnt exist..
[03:31] <enav> tab_ google it
[03:31] <tab_> enav: i cant find it.. been looking.
[03:32] <slooksterpsv> pw-toxic, vnc.conf isn't on mine when I installed it
[03:32] <multipass> Izinucs: yeah, not sure that u can do that, but i have closed and reopened.
[03:32] <enav> try centos channel
[03:32] <pw-toxic> slooksterpsv, so what do i do then?
[03:32] <jjcm> Hey all, I'm trying to get mail stuffs set up properly on my server. I use google apps for my domain, so my mail server isn't the same as my local box. However right now when sending soemthing to one of my google apps emails from sendmail, the relay gets set to local (which obv isn't correct as the mail servers are googles)
[03:32] <jjcm> How can I fix this? Is it a sendmail conf?
[03:32] <slooksterpsv> mobasher, gufw is awesome, it's simple, and uses ufw, but in a gui form
[03:32] <rifat> hi all
[03:32] <Izinucs> multipass: how (specifically) are you connecting with kate to the server?
[03:32] <slooksterpsv> pw-toxic hmmm I think we may need to create that config file for use
[03:32] <kbutler> thune3, btw, this is on an amazon ec2 server. So I don't think it's the hardware
[03:33] <pw-toxic> slooksterpsv, yes but where do i get the content for this file?
[03:33] <enav> jjcm: how are you trying to do this  on PHP?
[03:33] <pw-toxic> the wiki page tells me to uncomment lines.. so it expect to have some contetn
[03:33] <mobasher> slooksterpsv=}} cool thanks mate ..going to give a shot now and see..thanks :)
[03:33] <multipass> Izinucs: i'm using the filesystem browser plugin, changing it to FTP protocol, then connecting to a ftp server...
[03:34] <redblacktree> From my googling, it seems that this is a common problem, but I find no workable solutions.  I want to boot a ubuntu machine without a monitor, and be able to VNC into the machine.  No hardware hacks, please. :)
[03:34] <thune3> kbutler: oh ok. sounds your mount to / got severed. sounds like a restart is in order, i don't know what else to recommend.
[03:34] <kbutler> hmmm
[03:34] <Izinucs> multipass: the plugin for FF or a different browser?
[03:34] <jjcm> enav: No, just using sendmail directly
[03:35] <jjcm> enav: so, `sendmail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>< "my message"`
[03:35] <enav> you are using a local or public IP?
[03:35] <multipass> Izinucs: this is for Kate-Editor, an advanced text editor
[03:35] <jjcm> enav: Using the domain name of the server
[03:35] <thune3> kbutler: before i knew ec2, i was going to recommend shutting down forcibly, booting livecd, and checking your filesystems
[03:35] <slooksterpsv> pw-toxic trying to find that now
[03:36] <mobasher> slooksterpsv=}} for webserver it's the port 80 or 8000 that i have to open ?
[03:36] <jjcm> enav: I know it's routing locally because /var/log/mail.log updates with relay=local
[03:36] <kbutler> hm
[03:36] <rifat> can you give me a link, describing  runlevels and daemons as with we can change the daemons on the arch by just editing the rc.conf file? How can we manage this applications? thank you for your interests.
[03:36] <jjcm> enav: (and because I get mail delivered locally)
[03:36] <slooksterpsv> mobasher, port 80, you may need others like 8080 or 8888 for other services, but apache uses 80
[03:36] <slooksterpsv> pw-toxic - http://www.fifi.org/cgi-bin/man2html/usr/X11R6/man/man5/vnc.conf.5x.gz - has a bunch of options you can set in the vnc.conf file
[03:36] <kbutler> is there a more foolproof way to restart than telinit 6? it didn't error, but it also didn't restart
[03:36] <kbutler> /sbin/reboot returned a input/output error >__<;
[03:37] <kbutler> those are the two ways I do things
[03:37] <thune3> kbutler: did you *do* something significant to the system before it started to fall apart?
[03:37] <Roasted> tensorpudding, you still out there bro
[03:37] <kbutler> thune3, nope
[03:37] <kbutler> nothing
[03:37] <mobasher> slooksterpsv=}} thx :)
[03:37] <Izinucs> multipass: I'm familure with kate.. but it's not a browser per-se .. Unfortunately I'm not at my kde machine to look.. my suspicion is that the user name and pass is stored in the program that keeps track of that.. forgot the name .. but look there

[03:49] <Gnea> davefromcamp: that's the point of sudo
[03:49] <jjcm> enav: yea
[03:49] <tensorpudding> davefromcamp: there is something called init, which allows services to start at boot
[03:49] <JoTed> enav is says the disk is healthy
[03:49] <Deluxx> Sorry, did anyone get my question?
[03:49] <tensorpudding> davefromcamp: you need to configure mpd to start at boot
[03:49] <Deluxx> I'm new so not sure
[03:49] <enav> Deluxx: what do you mena?
[03:49] <enav> mean*
[03:49] <supercom32> If a user is flagged as a Desktop user, does he cache any kind of information like thumbnails, videos, what have you outside of his home directory?
[03:49] <davefromcamp> yes I do
[03:49] <Doyle> Deluxx: Well, this is the Ubuntu channel, use Ubuntu
[03:49] <jjcm> enav: Although that wouldn't affect it either way
[03:49] <_Neytiri_> can someoen point me to a good tutorial showing me exactly what i need ?
[03:50] <jjcm> enav: As the MX servers are hosted elsewhere
[03:50] <davefromcamp> if I just run mpd it gives me a network error
[03:50] <howie30> Deluxx > For ease of us, and because you're in the ubuntu channel, I'd use UBUNTU!
[03:50] <four2zero_> does vino work on ubuntu-server 10.10 ?
[03:50] <davefromcamp> so I've been running using sudo
[03:50] <tensorpudding> davefromcamp: you should not let it run as root, though
[03:50] <icarus-c> supercom32, unlikely
[03:50] <Deluxx> I have 500mb of ram and Pentium 3GHz, that's good for it?
[03:50] <davefromcamp> why is that?
[03:50] <tensorpudding> davefromcamp: have you configured mpd to run as a different user?
[03:51] <icarus-c> supercom32, but maybe /tmp
[03:51] <xangua> !maverick | four2zero_
[03:51] <Doyle> Deluxx: more ram
[03:51] <tensorpudding> davefromcamp: applications that run as root are running using administrative capabilities, and are thus vulnerable to privilege escalation bugs
[03:51] <Deluxx> How much more?
[03:51] <xangua> !lubuntu
[03:51] <xangua> Deluxx: for ubuntu¿ better try lubuntu
[03:51] <icarus-c> Deluxx, what are you going to do with the machine?
[03:51] <tensorpudding> davefromcamp: it's more secure to have them run as a specified user, like mpd, which I believe is the default behavior in fact
[03:51] <Doyle> 1.5GB... probably cheaper to buy a 2GB kit and toss the extra 500mb in the garbage
[03:52] <slooksterpsv> four2zero - I would wait, I had to reformat today cause I had problems with 10.10 beta
[03:52] <davefromcamp> alright
[03:52] <tensorpudding> davefromcamp: have you edited /etc/mpd.conf? that is where the configuration is, and there is a section related to users
[03:52] <supercom32> icarus: So if a user was manipulating images in gnome, watching videos using VLC/Mplayer, etc, there's no guarantee any of those actions would be private right?
[03:52] <Deluxx> Browse/youtube and things like java games here and there
[03:52] <icarus-c> Deluxx, GNOME desktop environment takes about 200MB at least, other system component takes <100MB,  so you have about 200 for other application.  (firefox takes up all that already)
[03:52] <JoTed> Setting up lvm2 (2.02.54-1ubuntu4) ... update-initramfs is disabled since running on read-only media
[03:53] <davefromcamp> yeah and the user is correct
[03:53] <enav> jjcm let me see your server deliver mail locally but not to internet? this is correct?
[03:53] <JoTed> How can I install lvm2 to repair a disc on the Ubuntu livecd?
[03:53] <icarus-c> supercom32, you should work on file permission so that the user could only access to his $HOME  and /tmp
[03:53] <multipass> can anyone reccomend a good text editor for webstuff? tabbed windows/highlighting/dual views/etc ?? thanks
[03:53] <jgalt> Just installed my nvidia drivers, So far it works perfectly besides the fact that when I full screen flash videos in a browser the video goes to my secondary monitor, I've selected a primary in drivers and that doesn't seem to help
[03:53] <Deluxx> So is there one that would go with the little amount of ram I have?
[03:53] <jjcm> enav: no.
[03:53] <davefromcamp> other big question is there a way to run a script at a certain time?
[03:54] <jjcm> enav: So my server is at jjcm.org
[03:54] <davefromcamp> ie I want my mpd db file to 'auto update'
[03:54] <jjcm> enav: I can send email to anywhere except jjcm.org
[03:54] <Deluxx> I have another computer with 4 gigs, just wanted to put linux on this one to hopefylly make it faster (from what I read)
[03:54] <tensorpudding> davefromcamp: the script which starts mpd is probably in /etc/init.d/mpd
[03:54] <jjcm> enav: instead, it routs it locally
[03:54] <jjcm> enav: which is incorrect, because the mx servers are elsewhere
[03:54] <icarus-c> Deluxx, you should look at some lightweight desktop environment like xfce, lxde, enlightenment...etc  or Window Manager based setup
[03:54] <_Neytiri_> !partitioning
[03:54] <davefromcamp> I tried that and it works thanks
[03:54] <slooksterpsv> Deluxx crunchbang may work better
[03:54] <tensorpudding> davefromcamp: system v init scripts are started depending on the runlevel, check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBootupHowto
[03:55] <howie30> Deluxx > there are ton of variations of linux that will run on limited machines, You could try some with xfce for less graphical use, but I've used puppylinux on slower machines, it works.. but it's not Ubuntu
[03:55] <daddysmurf> I think I might have messed up my fstab, and now my box doesn't boot. I also think the cd drive is messed up on it, because it won't boot a cd. How can I edit my fstab?
[03:55] <MattTheComputerG> when i enter "uname -a" it gives some basic system specs and its sys my processoe is i886 pent3 so is it a 64 or 32bit
[03:55] <davefromcamp> thanks
[03:55] <Deluxx> Yeah, puppylinux is the one I read some about
[03:56] <icarus-c> Deluxx, yes it would certainly be fast with Linux, but the problem is that 500MB is a little low for modern applications.  like firefox browsing google, facebook, twitter could easily use 300MB ram
[03:56] <Deluxx> I think it said like 60mb of ram so I wasn't sure if I was going "too low"
[03:56] <daddysmurf> howie30: why not simple debian? can't you pick and choose the packages such that the size and requirements of the system are at your descretion?
[03:56] <slooksterpsv> MattTheComputerG - 32-bit, it would say x86_64 or that if it were 64-bit
[03:56] <icarus-c> Deluxx, using lightweight Desktop environment like xfce, lxde instead of GNOME should save ~100MB of ram
[03:56] <howie30> Daddysmurf> completely true, just giving alternative options
[03:56] <enav> jjcm: check your  smtp client setting and your firewall
[03:57] <slooksterpsv> brb all gotta reboot
[03:58] <jjcm> enav: there's no firewall, and the smtp is fine, it's sending mail as expected except for on localhost
[03:58] <MattTheComputerG> ok thx no i can install Heavan(Ubuntu) and get rid or Hell(Gentoo)
[03:58] <etherealite> can initrd in a normal 10.4 install  read the cdrom drive?
[03:58] <jgalt> I've been having a hard time setting twinview for my vid drivers, Can't properly force a primary monitor, has anyone had this problem?
[03:58] <Deluxx> So xfce would be recommended for a 500mb ram? I'd plan on upgrading to 2 gigs sometime but wanted to see what would work for now
[03:59] <enav> jjcm: well sounds like a misconfiguration,   find some exaple configuration file on internet and compare it with yours
[03:59] <jjcm> It's the default config
[03:59] <jjcm> It's a fresh install
[03:59] <Primedeath> Deluxx, I'd just use Ubuntu. If you h ave any problems go to xfce.
[03:59] <jjcm> From what it looks like, this is the default action
[04:00] <Primedeath> No need to change from xfce to Gnome.
[04:00] <jjcm> Others are having this issue as well (then again, it might not be considered an issue because what I'm trying to do is abnormal behavior)
[04:00] <enav> anyway for more accurate help try /join #ubuntu-server
[04:00] <etherealite> Gnome is lighter wieght than xfce
[04:00] <jjcm> All I'm wondering is how I can configure sendmail to respect mx settings
[04:00] <jiohdi> Deluxx: for 500mb icewm is better than xfce perhaps even lxde
[04:00] <jjcm> enav: Already in there, waiting on answer
[04:01] <enav> yep they are slow or busy
[04:01] <etherealite> jjcm first off don't use sendmail
[04:01] <thune3> Deluxx: if you can put swap on a different hard drive from / and /home, you could squeak by on gnome if you don't run too many apps simultaneously. (gnome isn't as heavy as it used to be)
[04:02] <etherealite> Deluxx dont use xfce it sucks on ubuntu
[04:02] <Deluxx> I'm thinking about lxde since I also read about it earlier and seemed like the right choice
[04:03] <jiohdi> Deluxx: lxde is hardly any different from xfce... someways better
[04:03] <etherealite> Deluxx install the lubuntu package, works great if you don't have dual monitors.
[04:03] <etherealite> it wrox xfce
[04:03] <etherealite> can initrd in a normal 10.4 install  read the cdrom drive?
[04:04] <slooksterpsv> ok almost back, kvm disables 64-bit for virtualbox - ok bb in 5 min.
[04:07] <supercom32> Is it me, or in Lucid is it not possible to unlock the "Login screen settings"?
[04:07] <jiohdi> supercom32: you can unlock it with your root password
[04:08] <supercom32> jiohdi: I click unlock, but nothing comes up. Not even a password prompt.
[04:08] <jiohdi> supercom32: that dont sound good
[04:08] <supercom32> Perhaps a reboot is in order.
[04:09] <qsxqsx> what version of linux is?
[04:09] <qsxqsx> what distribution
[04:11] <slooksterpsv> ok anyone I was talking to, I'm back
[04:12] <etherealite> If I break a cd with a small but sensitive file on it, in half, how easy it
[04:12] <etherealite> If I break a cd with a small but sensitive file on it, in half what are the chances someone could recover the file?
[04:13] <iFire> is it theoretically possible to have a linux machine output a usb3 virtual drive that acts like a real one?
[04:13] <KB1JWQ> etherealite: Depends how dedicated they are.
[04:13] <davefromcamp> usually cd shatter
[04:13] <iFire> virtual in that it's a raid seen as one drive
[04:13] <KB1JWQ> etherealite: Throw it in the microwave for ten seconds.
[04:14] <etherealite> KB1JWQ ha, now theres an awesome lo-tech idea.
[04:14] <slooksterpsv> etherealite it shouldn't hurt the microwave, but don't leave in there too long lol
[04:15] <davefromcamp> does anyone know if mpd auto updates its db or do I have to restart the server if I add music files?
[04:15] <etherealite> slooksterpsv can initrd in a normal 10.4 install  read the cdrom drive?
[04:15] <Chr|s> how do I remove the docky anchor button?
[04:16] <Crash1hd> Is there a difference between this cron */30 * * * * curl... and this cron 30 * * * * * curl...
[04:16] <slooksterpsv> etherealite I would assume, but I don't know for sure
[04:17] <Kevin1a> Hey everyone.  I'm put together an XP/Ubuntu/Meego system and everything seems good, except that grub is not seeing meego.  I ran grub-update and it sees an unknown linux distro, but it doesn't show up in the list on the next boot.  Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
[04:18] <mrjn> hey guys, I want to connect IR blaster from my hd-pvr to myth-tv running on Ubuntu 10.04. Do I need to compile a kernel?
[04:18] <slooksterpsv> Kevin1a I'll see if I can find an answer to your question, give me a few
[04:19] <Kevin1a> OK, I'll be here.  Thankyou.
[04:19] <slooksterpsv> Kevin1a it uses syslinux, grub won't be able to autodetect that
[04:19] <etherealite> mrjn find the kernel mods you need, then modprobe, if its not there, then probably yes.
[04:20] <etherealite> mrjn that is assuming that you've already install mythbuntu package.
[04:20] <Deluxx> is there guide to follow for installing lubuntu? (for a complete linux newb)
[04:20] <mrjn> etherealite: mythubuntu.. no. I just installed myth-tv packages
[04:21] <slooksterpsv> Deluxx - try it on your own it's simple really, let me know if you have questions and I can help
[04:21] <Kevin1a> OK, I know what syslinux is (I'm finally learning).  So I'll have to add it manually, or am I going to have to chainload?
[04:21] <Chr|s> !luxbuntu
[04:21] <Japa> Hi, my computer is restarting every time it reaches grub. is there an easy way to fix this without reinstalling?
[04:21] <mohan1111> Hii In this image : http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1PykOXo2c5I/TBQFQIGZspI/AAAAAAAAAUg/MRO7Fkt04tM/s1600/4.jpg   There is a bar at the end with usage, network etc... How do i install this on my computer?
[04:21] <slooksterpsv> Kevin1a, that I don't know if you can manually add it, that'd be great, I don't know how you can do syslinux on grub, trying to find that out now
[04:21] <mrjn> etherealite, I do see this: dmesg | grep lirc
[04:21] <davefromcamp> thanks everyone for the help!
[04:21] <mrjn> [ 4119.437256] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, major 61
[04:21] <Deluxx> Well, I downloaded "lubuntu 10.04" but none of the files seem like they can run (I'm on windows xp btw)
[04:21] <etherealite> mrjn check the mythbuntu meta package and see if it has your ir kernel mods, i think the module might be in there.
[04:22] <slooksterpsv> Deluxx - if memory serves correctly it doesn't have a WUBI option so all you can do is use isorecorder to burn the iso to a cd/dvd and boot from that
[04:22] <jiohdi> Deluxx: if you have ubuntu up and running you can aptitude install lxde and then just chose it at login
[04:22] <jiohdi> Deluxx: its not exactly lubuntu but it works just the same
[04:23] <Deluxx> I'm on windows xp. I downloaded it from the site ubuntu, but it's not?
[04:23] <Deluxx> lubuntu*
[04:23] <jiohdi> Deluxx: be careful about wubi installs... they tend to work until you update and then they can crash and take the windows with it
[04:23] <slooksterpsv> Kevin1a if it has btrfs grub doesn't support btrfs yet
[04:23] <Esat> How to open .class files on Java?
[04:24] <etherealite> Deluxx get it form here https://lists.launchpad.net/lubuntu-desktop/msg01319.html
[04:24] <Deluxx> Yeah, I ran one of those some time early ago and gave me a "windos no disk" error
[04:24] <slooksterpsv> java <filenamewith.class>
[04:24] <Deluxx> windows*
[04:24] <Kevin1a> OK, so I guess I'm going to have to chainload it, or maybe I can get the meego bootloader to see ubuntu and XP
[04:24] <slooksterpsv> Esat - you would need to go into terminal and to it
[04:24] <Deluxx> Ok nice, a torrent download
[04:25] <Esat> slooksterpsv,  let me do that
[04:25] <slooksterpsv> Kevin1a, try that see what happens
[04:25] <mohan1111>  Hii In this image : http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1PykOXo2c5I/TBQFQIGZspI/AAAAAAAAAUg/MRO7Fkt04tM/s1600/4.jpg   There is a bar at the end with usage, network etc... How do i install this on my computer?
[04:25] <Chr|s> how do I remove the docky anchor button?
[04:25] <slooksterpsv> Kevin1a let me know if it works with chainload
[04:25] <Japa> Wubi installs don't work easilly with Windows 7, as there's a hidden boot partition, so the wubi loader tries to get the files from the wrong drive
[04:25] <pw-toxic_> slooksterpsv, it works!!
[04:25] <slooksterpsv> pw-toxic, awesome! =D
[04:26] <pw-toxic_> slooksterpsv, can you tell me how i can automatically start the server?
[04:26] <slooksterpsv> mohan1111 do you mean at the bottom? that's conky
[04:26] <slooksterpsv> pw-toxic_ are you doing it via ssh or vnc4server?
[04:26] <pw-toxic_> slooksterpsv, i'm using ebox.. the problem was the firewall
[04:26] <pw-toxic_> slooksterpsv, tightvncserver
[04:26] <Esat> slooksterpsv, where need i start in terminal: for example /home?
[04:26] <pw-toxic_> slooksterpsv, the only thing im doing is tightvncserver -nolisten tcp :1
[04:26] <mohan1111> Chr|s: gconftool-2 –type Boolean –set /apps/docky-2/Docky/Items/DockyItem/ShowDockyItem False
[04:26] <pw-toxic_> i need this command to be started every time ubuntu starts
[04:26] <mohan1111> Chr|s: run that command
[04:27] <slooksterpsv> pw-toxic_ we need to put it in the startup area, where is that at...
[04:27] <slooksterpsv> Esat, where is the class file located at?
[04:27] <Chr|s> mohan1111: ok thanks
[04:27] <slooksterpsv> Esat documents, downloads, music, etc.
[04:27] <pw-toxic_> slooksterpsv, its is enough if you show me a tutorial
[04:27] <Deluxx> The direct download gave me a rar file, I'm assuming I burn an iso image from in there to a cd?
[04:27] <pw-toxic_> slooksterpsv, or wiki.. whatever
[04:27] <mohan1111> slooksterpsv: thanks
[04:27] <doctor> Hello Everyone
[04:27] <Esat> theye are in downloaded folder
[04:27] <slooksterpsv> pw-toxic_ Add the command to the /etc/rc.local script before the exit 0 and it should run it as the last step in the boot process.
[04:28] <Deluxx> I had also downloaded "InfraRecorder", go with "write image" right?
[04:28] <slooksterpsv> Esat so in terminal type in cd ~/Downloads <enter> then type in: java ./filename.class
[04:28] <slooksterpsv> where filename is the file name
[04:28] <pw-toxic_> slooksterpsv, is this the normal procedure to do this? im trying to make a really clean server setup
[04:29] <Esat> slooksterpsv,  let me try again
[04:29] <guest-373> #neverendless
[04:29] <slooksterpsv> pw-toxic_ yes, that way if you need specific services or programs, even ones you made/make to load on startup, this is wher eyou'd add them
[04:29] <slooksterpsv> Deluxx - that should work
[04:29] <pw-toxic_> slooksterpsv, thanks
[04:29] <slooksterpsv> Deluxx yeah sorry lol yeah
[04:29] <Deluxx> Hmm.. can't find the iso file from the rar, am I missing something?
[04:30] <slooksterpsv> Deluxx did you extract the rar file with izarc or winrar?
[04:30] <Deluxx> Yea
[04:30] <pw-toxic_> slooksterpsv, i should have looked up the script before asking.. im sorry..  the script is quite empty so its looks quite "clean" ;))))
[04:31] <UltraParadigm> Bah!
[04:31] <Aemaeth> how do i set a script so that i can run it anywhere without the file being in the directory?
[04:31] <Deluxx> There's a "lubuntu" file but doesn't show up as an iso file
[04:31] <Kevin1a> I'll be back later.  I'm not sure exactly what I'm doing, so this might take me half the night.  Thanks for the help
[04:31] <slooksterpsv> Kevin1a let us know we can help ya out ok =D
[04:32] <slooksterpsv> Deluxx - how large is the lubuntu file?
[04:32] <Esat> slooksterpsv, : the files in this folder: /home/yusuf/İndirilenler/electric_8.10-1_all.deb/data/usr/share/java/electric/com/sun/electric/
[04:32] <slooksterpsv> Deluxx it should be around 533 mb
[04:32] <jiffe99> question, I am trying to start 2 instances of mysql-proxy, so I created 2 init scripts and have same named files under /etc/default, their own pids, even their own symlinks to the daemon binary, but I can only start one at a time, any idea why?
[04:32] <didi> Is it possible to make Metacity don't decorate the windows? I would like to get rid of the upper bar.
[04:32] <UltraParadigm> I got my Google App Engine program ready to publish, but I can't create my account because they want to authenticate with a cell phone number.
[04:32] <UltraParadigm> No way in hell I'm giving them a cell phone number
[04:33] <Deluxx> 48mb wow.. no wonder it downloaded so fast (for the second time).. let me just wait for the torrent
[04:33] <purrdeta> get a google voice number :P
[04:33] <Deluxx> didn't even think to check file size :s
[04:33] <slooksterpsv> Esat haha ok, you have to extract the deb file, type in the following
[04:33] <UltraParadigm> Does google voice support SMS?
[04:33] <purrdeta> yup
[04:33] <UltraParadigm> hmm, Well worth a try
[04:33] <purrdeta> It may work *shrug*
[04:33] <jiffe99> yeah I use google voice for all my smsing
[04:33] <UltraParadigm> My cell phone is a virgin moble prepaid because i don't rely need one, only for emergencies
[04:34] <purrdeta> ah yes
[04:34] <jiffe99> wish they supported multiple recipients though
[04:34] <h00k> !ot
[04:34] <Esat> slooksterpsv, i extract the deb already
[04:34] <UltraParadigm> I don't know if they suport that
[04:34] <slooksterpsv> Esat dpkg -x ./electric_8.10-1_all.deb ./electric - and it'll extract it to the folder electric
[04:34] <doctor> It's really very hot
[04:34] <slooksterpsv> Esat ok, perfect, then just cd to that directory (cd = change directory), so cd /home/yusuf/İndirilenler/electric_8.10-1_all.deb/data/usr/share/java/electric/com/sun/electric/
[04:35] <slooksterpsv> Esat: then press enter and type in: java ./filename.class
