[00:00] <M4dH4tt3r> Could not burn the image (The provided stream to write is not supported)
[00:01] <CFHowlett> M4dH4tt3r   make a usb instead?
[00:01] <M4dH4tt3r> yeah i was just trying to avoid downloading something to do it
[00:01]  * M4dH4tt3r is lazy
[00:02] <Muelli> M4dH4tt3r: i think you can just dd the ISO to the pendrive.
[00:02] <M4dH4tt3r> no
[00:02] <M4dH4tt3r> has to be mounted
[00:02] <MonkeyDust> M4dH4tt3r  or use MultiSystem
[00:02] <Rico> !lis
[00:02] <M4dH4tt3r> i was just gonna use yumi
[00:02] <Rico> !list
[00:03] <M4dH4tt3r> lol
[00:03] <M4dH4tt3r> warez?
[00:03] <Muelli> M4dH4tt3r: I *think* nowadays you don't need to mount anything. Just dd the image onto the pendrive and off you go. Haven't tried it myself...
[00:03] <dez4rk> M4dH4tt3r: http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
[00:03] <M4dH4tt3r> already got it
[00:04] <scientes> to install to usb just do cat foo.iso > /dev/sd[letter]
[00:04] <scientes> but be careful to not write on your disk
[00:04]  * M4dH4tt3r isnt using nix atm
[00:04] <Muelli> well. obviously, that's the first problem ;-)
[00:04] <M4dH4tt3r> :P
[00:05] <Muelli> so you're not asking for Ubuntu support anyway...
[00:05] <M4dH4tt3r> i am not gender biast i swing both ways ;)
[00:05] <dez4rk> M4dH4tt3r: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ ?
[00:05] <M4dH4tt3r> yeah thats a goodun
[00:05] <haux> The partition table on one of my hard disks looks like this: sdb1 sdb2 (free space) sdb4 (free space). sdb4 is my /var directory in Ubuntu. I'd like to move it up to sdb3, so I can create a new sdb4 extended partition to make a few more logical ones. How can I do that without messing up Ubuntu?
[00:06] <Muelli> haux: check gparted. It's quite convienient. I hope that won't mess up anything. Can't guarantee, though.
[00:06] <Muelli> haux: to be totally safe, boot off a different disk, i.e.pendrive or CDROM and then move your partition up.
[00:06] <haux> Muelli, I don't think gparted can move partitions OVER other partitions. At least, not that I can figure out
[00:08] <haux> I know you can customize the placement of a partition in am enpty space, but that's all I see that the resize/move option can do.
[00:08] <Muelli> haux: boot off another drive and try gparted then.
[00:08] <_Marcus> How do I make Gnome load by default instead of Unity?
[00:09] <_Marcus> I already installed Gnome.
[00:09] <Muelli> _Marcus: just select it once in the display manager and it should be selected the next time you log in.
[00:09] <urfr332gO> _Marcus, choose it at login and it will default there
[00:09] <_Marcus> Muelli: Where is that?
[00:10] <Muelli> _Marcus: in the display manager, the thing that let's you enter the password once you've booted up.
[00:10] <urfr332gO> _Marcus, the gear next to the login is a dropdown
[00:10] <_Marcus> Thanks Muelli and urfr332g0!
[00:10] <_Marcus> urfr332gO*
[00:11] <urfr332gO> _Marcus, no problem. :)

[00:12] <emu> bluefrog: Ah, thanks a lot.
[00:13] <rickk> please help me to resolve this problem
[00:13] <Muelli> rickk: well.. What software is that?
[00:13] <Muelli> rickk: It's a bug in the software, really...
[00:14] <rickk> I am developing stream server
[00:14] <rickk> my software...
[00:15] <Muelli> so fix your software then, rickk.
[00:15] <L3top> lol
[00:15] <rickk> can you tell me where should I look?
[00:15] <Muelli> no. that's offtopic. Maybe buy a book or two on programming.
[00:16] <Muelli> !offtopic | rickk
[00:16] <rickk> the thing is it happened suddenly
[00:17] <rickk> i didn't changed anything
[00:19] <dedicated1> hi I am trying to set up an ufw firewall but I cannot figure out which port to open to allow irc to connect. and even when I managed to open some I could connect to quakenet but not to freenode. anyone here that can help me with that?
[00:19] <Muelli> hm dedicated1. How do you know that you can't connect to freenode/
[00:20] <dedicated1> it kept trying to log on to it but couldn't
[00:20] <dedicated1> while quakenet had no problems
[00:20] <Muelli> dedicated1: how do you know?
[00:21] <dedicated1> in empathy you see the some icon trying to connect, quakenet account got connected, freenode kept spinning
[00:22] <dedicated1> now i turned off the firewall to ask for help here
[00:22] <Muelli> hm dedicated1. Can you use smth more verbose, i.e. xchat or even telnet..?
[00:22] <frederick> hi friends
[00:22] <dedicated1> I am sorry but I think it is Empathy, it's the Ubuntu 11.10 default
[00:23] <dedicated1> hi there frederick
[00:23] <frederick> im from colombian then mi english is more or less
[00:23] <_Marcus> dedicated1: I don't think you need to open a port to connect out. You only need it to accept in(You(server) <- Other(client)), not connect out(You(client) -> Other(server)).
[00:23] <Muelli> i.e. do "telnet irc.freenode.org 6667" and paste us the output
[00:23] <Muelli> ?
[00:23] <_Marcus> frederick: What is your native language? Ubuntu has many rooms for many languages
[00:24] <_Marcus> frederick: It may be easier to talk to someone in your native language.
[00:24] <frederick> im spanish
[00:24] <_Marcus> !es | frederick, this may help
[00:24] <frederick> i like this room
[00:24] <_Marcus> Okay
[00:24] <_Marcus> So, what problem are you having with Ubuntu?
[00:25] <dedicated1> erwin@ubuntu:~$ telnet irc.freenode.org 6667
[00:25] <dedicated1> Trying <IP_ADDRESS>...
[00:25] <dedicated1> Connected to chat.freenode.net.
[00:25] <dedicated1> Escape character is '^]'.
[00:25] <FloodBot1> dedicated1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:25] <dedicated1> :sendak.freenode.net NOTICE * :*** Looking up your hostname...
[00:25] <Muelli> dedicated1: uh. use pastebin
[00:25] <dedicated1> :sendak.freenode.net NOTICE * :*** Checking Ident
[00:26] <_Marcus> Oh, Floodbot
[00:26] <_Marcus> That should be a TV show
[00:26] <Muelli> dedicated1: anyway, your connection to freenode works. But probably you have the firewall turned off.
[00:26] <dedicated1> I have it turned off yes
[00:26] <dedicated1> http://paste.ubuntu.com/861304/
[00:26] <Muelli> dedicated1: turn it on and try again.
[00:26] <dedicated1> roger
[00:27] <_Marcus> What does ufw have to do with connecting to freenode?
[00:27] <Muelli> dedicated1: well done anyway. Nicely quoted your shell in its entirety. Very well done.
[00:27] <dedicated1> is that bad? xD
[00:28] <_Marcus> Not at all
[00:28] <Muelli> no, it's good. go ahead with the firewall turned on. If it returns the very same output, your firewall is fine.
[00:29] <danpsy> Is there any documentation for letting your application update the icons in real time with Unity?  (i.e. nuding the icon, displaying a number, progress bar, etc)
[00:29] <dedicated1> same output so far but maybe it's not active yet.. I'm gonna log out and back in and see what it does. thank you for your help Muelli
[00:31] <jord_> hey guys i have a 313u air card from at&t and i want to use it but its not recognized in ubuntu  any help??????!!!!!!!!
[00:35] <Muelli> well jord. there might be no driver for it. I'd recommend to unplug it, reboot, login, do a dmesg -c, plug it in, do a dmesg -c and give us the output.
[00:38] <jord_> can somone help me my 313u air card 4g is not recognized in ubuntu 11.04
[00:42] <jalal> hi
[00:49] <UnknownFearNG> hey al
[00:49] <UnknownFearNG> all*
[00:50] <_Marcus> Hello, UnkownFearNG
[00:51] <pokuy> hi to all
[00:52] <CFHowlett> pokuy   greetings
[00:53] <pokuy> CFHowlett, hi can i ask something, how to unintall in ubuntu from download file?
[00:53] <CFHowlett> pokuy   you couldn't install from software center??
[00:54] <CFHowlett> is that install or uninstall
[00:55] <pokuy> CFHowlett, i just download the file and i want to uninstall it its not from the software center or package ,its a third party software
[00:56] <CFHowlett> pokuy   is this a .deb file?
[00:56] <pokuy> CFHowlett, yes
[00:57] <DShepherd> hello all. Can someone tell me what I need to do to find out when (what date) my Ubuntu OS was installed?
[00:57] <CFHowlett> pokuy   sudo dpkg -r filename.deb
[00:57] <Random833> DShepherd: what date was your home directory created
[00:57] <JulinBM> I can not see / home partition on the monitor
[00:58] <JulinBM> is "flashing"
[00:58] <Random833> DShepherd: seriously, check the timestamp on a file you have never edited, like .face or examples.desktop
[00:59] <JulinBM> _srp: do you helpme?
[00:59] <UnknownFearNG> _Marcus: hello
[01:01] <DShepherd> hmm. let me check Random833
[01:01] <kingofswords> my video is crashing all the time in 10.04.....utube ads play but main vid crashes......any ideas?
[01:01] <Random832> kingofswords: what flash plugin do you have installed
[01:01] <kingofswords> lastest
[01:01] <Random832> also, what video is it? maybe it's a different format from the ads
[01:02] <kingofswords> Random832, i have no idea
[01:02] <kingofswords> Random832, i have flashaid
[01:02] <Random832> whats that
[01:02] <kingofswords> Random832, sum useless prog sum1 here recommended me
[01:03] <kingofswords> video is fine in windows btw
[01:03] <tomvolek> HI , all of a sudden, I am getting   apache http segmetnation faults and its not stopping :)
[01:05] <kingofswords> any help
[01:05] <TheAncientGoat> kingofswords: try disabling hardware accelleration
[01:06] <designbybeck> Any "R - stat" users in here? I'm trying to find people that use it in Linux?
[01:06] <TheAncientGoat> right click on video - settings, advanced, untick hardware accelleration
[01:06] <tensorpudding> does anyone know what causes notify-osd to be started in gnome sessions?
[01:07] <RoDiMuS-X> Hello, I was wondering if anyone can suggest a good RSS Reader for Ubuntu
[01:07] <Scunizi> !rss
[01:07] <kingofswords> TheAncientGoat, thx that seems to stopped the crashes
[01:07] <Scunizi> Is the bot sleeping?
[01:07] <trism> tensorpudding: a request for the org.freedesktop.Notifications service, defined in /usr/share/dbus-1/services/
[01:07] <_Marcus> !ping
[01:08] <_Marcus> Scunizi: Nope
[01:08] <tensorpudding> trism, gnome-shell provides org.freedesktop.Notifications
[01:08] <RoDiMuS-X> !rss
[01:08] <tensorpudding> it's not proper that it should start notify-osd
[01:08] <RoDiMuS-X> I guess the Bot doesn't know
[01:08] <_Marcus> There is no "rss" node
[01:08] <Scunizi> _Marcus: guess not.. I saw it did send me a private message that it didn't know anything about rss.. that was after my post that I noticed it.
[01:08] <tensorpudding> every single time i log in, i have to kill notify-osd and restart gnome-shell
[01:08] <tensorpudding> it's getting to be a truly egregious cycle
[01:09] <Scunizi> tensorpudding: uninstall it
[01:09] <tensorpudding> i don't want to have to, since it's required for ubuntu-desktop
[01:09] <trism> tensorpudding: I do understand this, I believe there is a race when it starts, because I've had times where gnome-shell gets it first, and other notify-osd. As a workaround I just install notification-daemon and uninstall notify-osd
[01:09] <RoDiMuS-X> So I guess no recommendations
[01:09] <tensorpudding> yes, but it's a bug
[01:09] <tensorpudding> and i filed a bug on it
[01:09] <tensorpudding> and recommended that
[01:12] <ken> my ubuntu 11.10 partition seems to hang on boot,  just before the login screen;  suggestions?
[01:12]  * ken looks for changes recently made
[01:12] <tensorpudding> and they said they can't remove notify-osd from ubuntu-desktop
[01:13] <trism> tensorpudding: that isn't a fix for the bug, just a workaround
[01:13] <tensorpudding> i know
[01:16] <nyancattt> i'm using wireless braondband and i want to know whether i'm now using gsm or hsdpa , how to find out ?
[01:17] <nyancattt> or which app is good for wireless braodband ?
[01:20] <derp> Is Evolution the best email client for linux that includes exchange support?
[01:21] <Random832> Anyone know how to install a new keyboard layout?
[01:21] <Random832> like, so i can properly select it in gnome - no crufty xmodmap crap
[01:23] <kthomas2> hmm.  setting my Synaptic driver *.conf to emulate middle button mouse clicks,  hangs boot
[01:27] <tensorpudding> i filed a new bug for the problem, this time in notify-osd
[01:27] <tensorpudding> since it's probably notify-osd's fault
[01:28] <nyancattt> i'm using wireless braondband and i want to know how to force it to use  hsdpa
[01:29] <tensorpudding> my conspiratorial mindset is the devs don't care because they don't care about providing a good gnome-shell experience
[01:29] <tensorpudding> of course it's probably not true
[01:30] <nyancattt> nobody know the answer ?
[01:32] <laisner> can i convert my primary partition to a logical one without data loss?
[01:32] <konam> is there a way to make nautilus not show icons next to items of the context menu?
[01:33] <zykotick9> laisner: that's a odd request, what do you really want to do?
[01:33] <laisner> trying to get dual boot going but gparted tells me i already have 4 primary partitions when i try create a new one
[01:35] <zykotick9> laisner: ya, there is a 4 primary limit.  I doubt you can do much without deleting one of those primary to create an extended (but i'm not big on changing partioning after the fact, so someone else might have a better idea)
[01:35] <laisner> thats what i thought : /
[01:35] <guest-IXXLti> i change a setting in ccs and now i have to log in as guest to do anything with my computer. I cant get back in to ccs through my username to change it back
[01:35] <guest-IXXLti> could someone tell me what i can do to fix that?
[01:36] <urfr332gO> laisner, are those windows partitions?
[01:36] <guest-IXXLti> changed*
[01:36] <zykotick9> guest-IXXLti: just to be clear, do you mean ccsm (compiz config settings manager)
[01:36] <guest-IXXLti> yes i do
[01:36] <zykotick9> just ckeckin'
[01:36] <TUX11> can someone tell me how to get libpython2.7
[01:36] <laisner> nope
[01:36] <laisner> the one i need to change are ext4
[01:37] <urfr332gO> laisner, you can clone one probably, put a exteneded in and reload it inside and have lots of logicals.
[01:38] <jizzbeard> jizz
[01:38] <jizzbeard> beard
[01:38] <guest-IXXLti> zykotick9: do you know how i can pull cssm back up, through use of the terminal or something?
[01:38] <laisner> what program would you suggest for such a procedure ?
[01:38] <laisner> and how safe is it :-P
[01:39] <zykotick9> guest-IXXLti: sorry - i don't have any suggestions.  good luck.
[01:39] <urfr332gO> laisner, actually you would have to dd it probably a clone would not change the partition tyype, my bad.
[01:39] <laisner> i would need to clone the data and not the partition i guess
[01:39] <laisner> back up sort of thing
[01:39] <urfr332gO> laisner, yeah waht are the 4 partitions now?
[01:39] <urfr332gO> what*
[01:40] <laisner> have a boot, swap, filesystem and home dir partition
[01:40] <TUX11> guys i keep getting this message Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python2.7 (= 2.7-6)
[01:40] <guest-IXXLti> can you pull applications with a gui up with a terminal?
[01:40] <urfr332gO> laisner, this a msdos set up noy guid?
[01:40] <urfr332gO> not*
[01:40] <laisner> arch setup
[01:41] <urfr332gO> laisner, I doubt you need the boot partition.
[01:41] <laisner> hmmm maybe your right
[01:42] <TUX11> guys i keep getting this message Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: python2.7 (= 2.7-6) andnot sure how to fix it
[01:43] <urfr332gO> laisner, if it is lvm or encrypted I would not know there though.
[01:43] <itaylor57> TUX11, what version of ubuntu and what are you running to get the error
[01:43] <TUX11> 10.4
[01:43] <TUX11> LTS. sorry in noob
[01:44] <TUX11> and its vbox
[01:44] <TUX11> version 4
[01:45] <laisner> if i remove the boot partition i would have to change fstab and such right ?
[01:46] <nyancattt> how to force my wireless connection to hsdpa in ubuntu ? anyone know ?
[01:46] <TUX11> is it a corrup file?
[01:46] <TUX11> corrpt
[01:49] <erpo> I installed kubuntu-desktop and now I have the kubuntu boot screen (blue with the kubuntu text). How do I get the default boot screen back?
[01:49] <platius> laisner, http://askubuntu.com/questions/30130/remove-boot-partition
[01:49] <laisner> How can i check which partition is primary and which is logical?
[01:49] <erpo> laisner: partitions ending with numbers 1-4 are primary. Those ending with number 5+ are logical.
[01:50] <laisner> ok
[01:51] <adpaolucci> eta for the new LTS still april?
[01:51] <erpo> adpaolucci: Why would they be off?
[01:51] <laisner> is there any reason to have a small partition dedicated to boot? might as well ask now that im considering deleting it
[01:51] <adpaolucci> wondering if it got moved up by some miricale
[01:52] <adpaolucci> *miracle
[01:52] <erpo> laisner: If you have one, don't delete it. If you're installing a new system, you don't need it.
[01:52] <arleslie> Hey guys, I'm trying to find a package for Remserial, I've checked out ser2net but it's not working the way I need it and the only alternative I can find is Remserial but it seems to be missing out of the repos (used to be in 9.04 repos), any ideas on where I can get this?
[01:52] <laisner> I have one but i need the primary partition spot for my dual boot
[01:53] <Ady> hi, can someone help me to delete java and install jdk 7 ?
[01:53] <mrguser> Hi!
[01:53] <erpo> laisner: You have Linux installed already and you're installing Windows next to it?
[01:54] <urfr332gO> laisner, the only OS that needs primaries is a windows OS partition,
[01:54] <itaylor57> Ady, http://www.webupd8.org/2011/09/how-to-install-oracle-java-7-jdk-in.html
[01:55] <mrguser> Can i request some conky configs?

[02:01] <mrguser> Thanks urfr332g0
[02:02] <brian_s> anyone know of a good article on best practices for an Ubuntu LAMP server - security - etc
[02:02] <urfr332gO> mrguser, no problem acts a bit weird in gnome 3 though not always the same place, not sure why.

[02:09] <Escherial> never mind, about to try krdc to see if it's any better
[02:11] <Escherial> actually, scratch that, too; remmina looks very nice :D
[02:14] <Oredigger> Adobe Flash is no longer working in FireFox  I reinstalled the flash package, but that didn't help.  Any ideas?
[02:15] <daniel__> anybody
[02:15] <Oredigger> I'm not sure if it's site specific.  I'm having trouble loading this video http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/mon-february-27-2012-neil-degrasse-tyson

[02:17] <bazhang> Oredigger, yep, not working here either. perhaps a new version of flash was just released
[02:17] <bazhang> !manual | daniel__
[02:17] <bazhang> !wiki | daniel__ and this
[02:18] <Oredigger> bleh, I'll have to load windows to watch it...
[02:18] <grysa> mmmmmmm ubuntu keep freezing after like 20 minutes
[02:19] <bazhang> grysa, while doing what
[02:19] <Oredigger> bazhang TY for the confirmation.  It's at least not just my machine.
[02:19] <bazhang> how much ram, what's running, what does top show grysa
[02:19] <daniel__> thx bazhang
[02:20] <grysa> nothing it just freeze
[02:20] <bazhang> grysa, how about answering my questions
[02:22] <Random832> i forget, how do i fix my window decorations?
[02:23] <grysa> 8 gb of ram 1tb hard drive and i jus freez
[02:23] <KaeruCT> ubanto
[02:23] <bazhang> grysa, what does top show. what processes are running, please list the top 2 or 3
[02:23] <Dr_willis> Random832, you mean run 'compiz --replace' ?
[02:24] <M4dH4tt3r> send it to me grysa ill fix it :D
[02:24] <bazhang> M4dH4tt3r, thats not helpful
[02:25] <M4dH4tt3r> actually it kind of is beause it caused me to think of something ;)
[02:25] <bazhang> !ot > M4dH4tt3r
[02:26] <Dr_willis> grysa,  also is it a desktop? laptop? whats your video card?  if you run the live cd - does it also freeze after 20 min. If you just let it sit does it freeze,  basically we need to figure out if its freezing due to overheating, or driver or app crashing.
[02:26] <lolmatic> hello
[02:26] <bazhang> grysa, open a terminal, type top: what processes do you see running; list the top 2 or 3
[02:26] <lolmatic> i am looking for tools to download files from one click hosters on the shell
[02:26] <Dr_willis> lolmatic,  cant say ive ever seen any.  - seen browser extensions. but thats it.

[02:28] <bazhang> Tribal, ?
[02:28] <KaeruCT> he's bugging
[02:28] <lemmu> hi kaery
[02:28] <CreativeGuy> LAMP Channel was dead
[02:31] <bazhang> CreativeGuy, support question related to same?
[02:33] <CreativeGuy> hey bazhang - sorry I did not see your post
[02:33] <CreativeGuy> I was just looking for good CURRENT info on running a secure LAMP server
[02:33] <zennez0009> hello, new ubuntu user here
[02:33] <bazhang> did not think that 'lamp' had a channel
[02:34] <zennez0009> i juz did a clean install of ubuntu and run update manager
[02:34] <zennez0009> after i did a full update
[02:34] <zennez0009> i cant connect to wireless anymore
[02:34] <CreativeGuy> most stuff seems out of date and lots of incomplete info on best practices
[02:34] <bazhang> zennez0009, kernel update?
[02:34] <zennez0009> i was able to connect wireless before update manager full date
[02:34] <CreativeGuy> I typed in LAMP to the channel search
[02:34] <CreativeGuy> bunch of people sitting in there - no chatting
[02:35] <CreativeGuy> lots of <crickets>
[02:35] <CreativeGuy> I was just looking in Apache channels
[02:35] <bazhang> CreativeGuy, whats the specific issue? how to install it? or what
[02:35] <CreativeGuy> actually - I found my way through installing - it was really easy
[02:36] <bazhang> zennez0009, tried booting into an earlier kernel?
[02:36] <zennez0009> bazhang, i use update manager until the system was up to day
[02:36] <CreativeGuy> I have some Rackspace Cloud servers setup
[02:36] <zennez0009> now i cant use wireless
[02:36] <zennez0009> how do i do that?
[02:36] <CreativeGuy> I just started my own IT Consuting company
[02:36] <zennez0009> however if i disable my wirelss
[02:36] <bazhang> zennez0009, tried booting into an earlier kernel?
[02:36] <zennez0009> and restart
[02:36] <CreativeGuy> I was planning to work through this and get my ducks in a row before havig clients
[02:36] <CreativeGuy> having*
[02:36] <zennez0009> and enable my wirelss after restart i am able to connect to one network
[02:37] <CreativeGuy> but I am still coming up to speed and I am getting slammed by new clients
[02:37] <CreativeGuy> word is out I guess
[02:37] <zennez0009> if i disconnect my wireless . i have to repeat the trick. disable wireless. restart and connect again
[02:37] <CreativeGuy> I don't want to be that guy deploying crap LAMP servers
[02:37] <zennez0009> i can only connect to one wireless network per restart
[02:37] <CreativeGuy> so I have servers active - reading through my amazon books on Ubuntu
[02:38] <Varq> Hey, I just installed Ubuntu and I have no idea what I'm doing. I want to user a version of Blender from graphicall.org, but I have no idea what to do with the files.
[02:38] <CreativeGuy> just not enough time and it scares the hell out of me
[02:38] <erpo> Varq: The normal blender won't do for you?
[02:39] <CreativeGuy> I have the Ubuntu 11.10 Server Admin & Reference book
[02:40] <CreativeGuy> it is not bad - but typical of books
[02:40] <CreativeGuy> here do this
[02:40] <CreativeGuy> this will install
[02:40] <CreativeGuy> great - now what
[02:40] <FloodBot1> CreativeGuy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:40] <Varq> erpo: Well, I'm using a modifier that isn't in the official build of Blender in my current model.
[02:40] <CreativeGuy> search Ubuntu forms - most stuff is several revisions behind
[02:40] <erpo> Varq: What is name of the file you downloaded?
[02:41] <Varq> Blender 2.62.0 (Non-Bmesh Edition) +UV Offset Modifier + blah blah blah. http://graphicall.org/832
[02:42] <CreativeGuy> you catch all that bazhang?
[02:42] <bazhang> CreativeGuy, I did not see any actual question
[02:42] <CreativeGuy> lol
[02:42] <CreativeGuy> ok
[02:42] <CreativeGuy> so I have LAMP servers up and running in cloud
[02:42] <NitroTiger> I think screwed up xorg.conf and on start up screen stays blank what can I do now to revert it ?
[02:43] <CreativeGuy> I need a good document on current LAMP best practices for securing
[02:43] <bazhang> CreativeGuy, no need to retype all that---actual question?
[02:43] <erpo_> NitroTiger: For reasons purely related to my blood pressure, I would reinstall. Nobody likes editing xorg.conf.
[02:44] <CreativeGuy> you have a link?
[02:44] <CreativeGuy> sorry for my newbness - trying my best to search docs
[02:47] <NitroTiger> erpo: well installed 11.10 and in etc/x11 there was no xorg file so but my old xorg.conf for my Samsung monitor there. Isn't there really way to revert that some how?
[02:47] <erpo> NitroTiger: Did you install 11.10 fresh or did you upgrade?
[02:48] <erpo> NitroTiger: Also, are you saying there was no xorg.conf file right after you finished installation?
[02:48] <zykotick9> erpo: xorg.conf is not present by default - not typically used
[02:49] <erpo> zykotick9: Dang. I feel like a geezer.
[02:49] <erpo> zykotick9: If you don't remember init, get off my lawn! :)
[02:49] <NitroTiger> erpo:Fresh few days ago. Yes there was no file and my screen was unknown and low res. So hence I NASA long ago file for my monitor what I used before
[02:50] <erpo> NitroTiger: NASA?
[02:50] <NitroTiger> Sorry I'm on my phone and f* dictionary
[02:51] <NitroTiger> I ment made long ago
[02:51] <erpo> NitroTiger: So it boots and you can log in, but it was at a low resolution? What kind of video card do you have?
[02:51] <NitroTiger> Mobile 4
[02:51] <NitroTiger> On laptop
[02:51] <erpo> NitroTiger: What is the model of your laptop?
[02:52] <NitroTiger> Vaio
[02:52] <erpo> NitroTiger: Exact model number?
[02:52] <erpo> NitroTiger: There is more than one Sony Vaio.
[02:52] <NitroTiger> Vgn na38e
[02:53] <erpo> na38e?
[02:53] <NitroTiger> Ns38e
[02:56] <bilal03> hello there
[02:56] <NitroTiger> erpo: And any ideas?
[02:56] <gryza> I can't change the wireless cards channel
[02:56] <erpo> NitroTiger: I'm doing some research.
[02:57] <NitroTiger> Erpo: Thanks,
[02:57] <bilal03> I can't change resolution to 1440x900, it just stuck on 1024x768, i m using ubuntu 11.10
[02:57] <soreau> gryza: iwconfig <iface> channel <channel>
[02:57] <erpo> NitroTiger: Have you tried changing the resolution with the display tool?
[02:57] <bilal03> it was working right till last night
[02:57] <chipotle> what's the best program to rip blurays on ubuntu 10.10?
[02:58] <erpo> chipotle: I don't know that blu-ray copy protection has been thoroughly broken yet.
[02:58] <NitroTiger> erpo: And how I do that
[02:58] <Varq> erpo: Sorry to bug you, but did you know what to do with those files?
[02:58] <bilal03> I can't change resolution to 1440x900, it just stuck on 1024x768, i m using ubuntu 11.10
[02:59] <erpo> Varq: I got disconnected for a bit. I asked which files you downloaded.
[02:59] <erpo> NitroTiger: Can you log in?
[02:59] <Ninja-1> bilal03: what's your video card?
[02:59] <bilal03> Ninja-1, intel Q965
[02:59] <bilal03> its was working right with my hp 19" monitor
[02:59] <bilal03> Ninja-1, its was working right with my hp 19" monitor
[03:00] <NitroTiger> No i start my pc enter BIOS pass it starts loading ubuntu and screen turns blank
[03:00] <gryza> mmm still selling router is in channel 3 but card is on channel 1
[03:00] <Varq> erpo: http://graphicall.org/832 It's Blender 2.62 w/ UV Offset Modifier.
[03:00] <bilal03> Ninja-1, but now in display settings it does not show my monitor name
[03:01] <erpo> NitroTiger: Does the backlight turn off?
[03:01] <NitroTiger> No
[03:03] <erpo> NitroTiger: Have you installed ubuntu yet or are you trying to boot from the live cd?
[03:03] <Ninja-1> bilal03: what's the output of running "xrandr" in a terminal?
[03:04] <NitroTiger> erpo: It Is installed
[03:06] <erpo> NitroTiger: So it worked when you booted from the live cd but it doesn't work now. What have you done since you installed it?
[03:08] <NitroTiger> erpo: I installed it for while ago so I wanted to get my big screen working normally and i but my custom xorg.conf into x11 after reboot that happened
[03:08] <L551> Trying to get my printer to work in Ubuntu, but CUPS doesn't have a driver for it
[03:09] <soreau> ! printer | L551
[03:10] <matias> HOla
[03:10] <L551> Soreau, it's not listed.
[03:10] <Guest65509> estoy en problemas, necesito un poco de ayuda
[03:11] <soreau> L551: Then it may not be supported. Have you tried googling the model number with keyword ubuntu?
[03:11] <nicknick> How can I get this annoying low battery warning to stop popping up on my laptop? It indicates I only have ~45 min left with 100% charged battery (which is very wrong. it's about 5 hrs.). It is very irritating. I'm running 11.10. Any suggestions please?
[03:11] <djthree> Hola, alguno habla español?
[03:11] <nicknick> Un poco
[03:11] <soreau> ! es | djthree
[03:11] <nicknick> Que va?
[03:11] <L551> I need it to work though. I'm out $80 if it doesn't. Googling comes back with nothing
[03:12] <soreau> L551: What is the model number?
[03:12] <L551> MG3120
[03:12] <djthree> hola
[03:12] <djthree> ok, todo bien
[03:12] <CreativeGuy> bazhang: Any links to current documentation on best practices for securing a LAMP server?
[03:12] <irvan-rpla> haduh aku ramudeng iki do ngomong opo
[03:14] <soreau> L551: yea it doesn't look too promising
[03:14] <NitroTiger> Erpo?
[03:14] <L551> I need it to work though. Printer was just delievered, I need to print for tomorrow. All machines here run linux.
[03:15] <CreativeGuy> Anyone have any links to good current documentation for securing a LAMP server?
[03:15] <soreau> L551: Maybe try ##linux? I'm not really sure what else to tell you. If it's a brand new model, the linux drivers may not have been written yet
[03:16] <alaa> hi everybody i want to  change from xubuntu to unity
[03:16] <alaa> ?
[03:16] <soreau> L551: If you purchased this printer knowing it needed to run on linux, maybe you should have researched it beforehand
[03:16] <soreau> alaa: I don't think you do ;)
[03:17]  * soreau is switching to xubuntu from gnome
[03:18] <urfr332gO> alaa, you installed xubuntu to begin with?
[03:18] <alaa> how can i convert from xubuntu to unity ?
[03:19] <godofwar> does anyone know how ubuntu 11.10 can remember my running applications when restarting or shutting down my computer?
[03:19] <alaa> yep, I've installed xubuntu, and I wanna change it to unity ..
[03:20] <zykotick9> alaa: you could install ubuntu-desktop metapackage
[03:20] <urfr332gO> alaa, ^^^^ and or remove xubuntu as well if you want at some point. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome
[03:27] <Varq> Well, I guess erpo disappeared. So can anyone help me install this version of Blender from http://graphicall.org/832?
[03:29] <philipballew_> Should a Ubuntu laptop mute of hibernation/suspend by default?
[03:33] <nicknick> How can I get this annoying low battery warning to stop popping up on my laptop? It indicates I only have ~45 min left with 100% charged battery (which is very wrong. it's about 5 hrs.). It is very irritating. I'm running 11.10. Any suggestions please?
[03:34] <Dark|Code> http://indonesiandefacer.org/mirror/2012/02/zuienkaruizawa.html
[03:34] <Dark|Code> ?echo\
[03:35] <urfr332gO> nicknick, have you actually gotten 5 hours use in ubuntu?
[03:36] <nicknick> Not using it heavily. I've gotten about ~2.5, but I just wanna get rid of this annoying warning
[03:37] <brianp1992> what is the KDE desktop?
[03:37] <StevenX> Hi everyone. I just upgraded my ubuntu to 11.10.
[03:37] <StevenX> and now my nxserver is not working
[03:38] <StevenX> although my ssh server is
[03:38] <nicknick> brian
[03:39] <nicknick> It's an alternative desktop environment to gnome
[03:39] <nicknick> It has a somewhat more windows-like feel
[03:40] <brianp1992> nicknick, dose it use alot of resorces?
[03:41] <nicknick> As far as I know it's about comprable to Gnome in that aspect
[03:41] <nicknick> If you're looking for a less resource heavy desktop environment there's fluxbox or xfce and several others
[03:41] <brianp1992> nicknick, do you use it?
[03:42] <brianp1992> yes im useing xubuntu right now
[03:42] <brianp1992> nicknick, yes im useing xubuntu right now
[03:42] <pengw> howdy everyone
[03:42] <Guest13279> yes, X server, X client, and Windowmaker would be a great start.
[03:42] <beckiebest122> How can I set Windows to boot by default in GRUB? 10.10
[03:43] <pengw> who know if i want to view EAX EBX ECX... what should I do with linux.
[03:43] <nicknick> I don't and I haven't since before Hardy Heron, but I have used it before. I'm not sure how it has changed over the years though. I was plenty more buggy than gnome when I left it. That's actually why I stopped using it
[03:44] <brianp1992> nicknick, ahh okay well ill keep asking around before i jump into it then
[03:45] <nicknick> Why not go ahead and get it and try it out for yourself? you can keep your xfce desktop manager and choose which one to use at login. If you don't like KDE, then you don't have to use it and can uninstall it. If you do like it, you can keep both and switch back and forth or if you want, uninstall xfce. There's no better way to decide if you like it than to jump right in and start using it
[03:45] <travis69420> ubuntu question for everyone... I am currently using ubuntu as my router and i am using IPTables as my firewall (this is Ubuntu server, so no GUI).  I am trying to get my box set up to accept ssh from outsde my LAN (WAN port) my WAN port is eth0
[03:46] <travis69420> i have ssh server running on port 54321
[03:46] <intok> can anyone recommend a NeoGeo emulator that actually works unlike Mednafen? Seems none of the emulators in the official Ubuntu repos works
[03:46] <travis69420> how do i set up iptables to accept all incoming connections on port 54321
[03:46] <travis69420> but to the local host
[03:47] <pjman> I'm doing some testing that requires me to change the kernel boot options. After booting I want to double check that used the correct options. What command do I use to list the current kernel options in use?
[03:49] <Jordan_U> pjman: cat /proc/cmdline
[03:49] <zykotick9> intok: mame is probably the best neogeo emulator out there, gngeo is ok to (and supports the home console like options)
[03:49] <pjman> Jordan_U: Thank you!
[03:50] <Jordan_U> pjman: You're welcome :)
[03:50] <travis69420> i did try the #IPTables channel but no one seems to be awake :-(
[03:51] <intok> zykotick9 the mame version in the repos doesn't work, and GnGeo is a long dead project
[03:51] <nicknick> It seems that no one with advanced knowledge is really on this channel right now either
[03:51] <zykotick9> intok: if you claim both mame and mednafen "don't work" perhaps they're not the issue.  good luck.
[03:52] <revilodraw> hello. when istalling xp in a virtual machine using virtualbox, which filesystem should i use - ntfs or fat?
[03:52] <travis69420> NTFS revilodraw
[03:52] <travis69420> how large is your drive?
[03:52] <revilodraw> travis69420: 30gb
[03:53] <brianp1992> nicknick, ahh okay well ill guess ill give it a try
[03:53] <travis69420> eh i'd just use NTFS revilodraw
[03:53] <nicknick> do you know how to get it?
[03:53] <revilodraw> travis69420: thank you
[03:54] <travis69420> better performance... I really only use FAT nowadays for Flash drives, as FAT is the most universal filesystem for all OSes (all can pretty much read and write without adding anything)
[03:55] <intok> zykotick9 mednafen launches and loads the rom, but gets stuck in a constant loop of configuring keys, the version of mame in the repos launches, but crashes when you do anything, I can't even get it to load a bios or a rom
[03:55] <fully_human> Hello, trying to update time with ntpdate; however, whichever server I use I get the error: 28 Feb 11:55:11 ntpdate[5750]: no server suitable for synchronization found.
[03:56] <intok> zykotick9 I've had the same kind of issues with bsnes and zsnes, neither of those runs either, zsnes crashes silently and bsnes launches, doesn't load a rom and doesn't do anything till manually killed
[03:56] <zykotick9> intok: well, sdlmame (if available in ubuntu) is a big improvement over xmame -- but neither is "easy" to setup.
[03:56] <zykotick9> intok: are you using ati graphics by chance?
[03:56] <physically_fit> any DJ here?, i have a question
[03:57] <intok> zykotick9 sdlmame is what I've got, nope, Nvidia Geforce 6200 NV44a core
[03:58] <fully_human> Anyone know why I can't connect to ANY time server?
[03:59] <fully_human> It's very frustrating: I can't do anything on the net except surf the web (whithout a proxy).
[04:00] <NitroTiger> Is here Eunuch specialist?
[04:01] <NitroTiger> Is here wubi specialist? Sorry I made mistake..
[04:02] <brian1992> nicknick, whats the apt-get for the kde?
[04:02] <travis69420> none of us are specialists in anything lol
[04:03] <nicknick> sudo apt-get install kde-desktop
[04:03] <Varq> I'm new to Ubuntu and I don't really know what I'm doing. Does anyone know how to install this version of Blender? http://graphicall.org/832
[04:03] <zykotick9> nicknick: kubuntu-desktop you mean?
[04:03] <NitroTiger> :)
[04:04] <travis69420> varq: i think it may be in synaptics package manager
[04:04] <nicknick> yes that's right. my bad
[04:04] <fully_human> Varq: Usually with blender, just extract it and run the executable in the directory.
[04:04] <travis69420> isnt it?
[04:04] <nicknick> sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[04:04] <Ady> how i open port pls command?
[04:04] <Varq> fully_human: I double clicked on it, and nothing happened. :/
[04:05] <fully_human> Why is it that I can't connect to any time server?  I run sudo ntpdate -q ntp.ubuntu.com, and get the error: no server suitable for synchronization found
[04:05] <travis69420> ady what do u mean?
[04:05] <fully_human> Varq: Then you may not have python or OpenGL installed.
[04:05] <travis69420> varq: did u check the synaptic package manager i think it's in there
[04:05] <travis69420> you dont need to use their site
[04:05] <Ady> travis69420, i mean how i open port utw from console
[04:06] <travis69420> ummm utw?
[04:06] <travis69420> firewall ports i assume you mean ady?
[04:06] <Ady> travis69420, y
[04:06] <travis69420> u need to be alot more specific
[04:06] <travis69420> utw and port means nothing
[04:06] <Ady> travis69420, y sry i newbie
[04:06] <travis69420> what are you trying to do ady?
[04:07] <travis69420> start from the begining
[04:07] <Ady> travis69420, open my game server ports
[04:07] <Varq> travis69420: I'm on Windows right now, so I'm going to have to restart and check. I'll be back in a bit.
[04:07] <travis69420> ady that's controlled by your router
[04:07] <travis69420> i assume you are on a home network ady?
[04:07] <Ady> travis69420, rooter alredy open
[04:08] <travis69420> huh?
[04:08] <Ady> travis69420, yes home
[04:08] <travis69420> wht do u mean router is already open?
[04:08] <travis69420> what kind of router do you have?
[04:08] <Ady> already configurated
[04:08] <brian1992> well it would seem ill be waiting for 30 minues while my kubunt-desktop downoads
[04:08] <Ady> speedport
[04:08] <travis69420> so u already configured that in the router?
[04:09] <Ady> yes
[04:09] <travis69420> well then there shouldnt be a problem
[04:09] <travis69420> i dont think
[04:09] <Ady> my ubuntu ports ? i think that i cant connect to game...
[04:10] <travis69420> ummm well i dunno that ubuntu has a firewall application
[04:10] <Ubuntunub> iptables?
[04:10] <travis69420> so if u opened it up on the router and forwarded it to the corect machine
[04:11] <travis69420> well yes but doesnt he have to setup iptables
[04:11] <travis69420> i thought by default ubuntu just leaves the ports open
[04:11] <Ubuntunub> Believe so.  Think it's empty of rules by detault.
[04:11] <travis69420> could be wrong tho
[04:11] <Ubuntunub> *default

[04:11] <travis69420> oh great... i dunno if ubuntu has a firewal gui dores it
[04:11] <travis69420> does it*
[04:11] <travis69420> we're discussing ady...
[04:11] <Ady> how i check?
[04:12] <Ady> open ports?
[04:12] <travis69420> ady, trying to find out the best way
[04:12] <travis69420> give us a min to discuss the issue
[04:12] <Ady> travis69420,  good
[04:12] <travis69420> more like the easiest way
[04:12] <Ady> travis69420,  will be gr8
[04:13] <Ubuntunub> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
[04:13] <Ady> Ubuntunub, ty
[04:13] <travis69420> ooo thans ubuntunub
[04:13] <travis69420> jst found that myself
[04:13] <travis69420> never used ufw before
[04:14] <travis69420> lol i'm on ubuntu server
[04:14] <Ubuntunub> Same.  Never used the ufw -- just fumbled through iptables, lol.
[04:14] <underground_> Who's speack french
[04:14] <underground_> ?
[04:14] <Jordan_U> !fr | underground_
[04:14] <travis69420> yea i tend to use iptables from within webmin on ubuntu server
[04:14] <underground_> i need help with my armitage
[04:15] <scottj> is there a gui tool for creating xmodmap lines? like pick a key and pick what key you want it mapped to and it outputs the right code/syntax?
[04:16] <Ubuntunub> Anyone familiar with using cron as a automated backup tool?  Just needing to copy the folder content from one one dir to another dir -- but I want to make sure that if the source directory is empty it doesn't overwrite what might already be in the backup dir.  Hope that makes sense.
[04:17] <zykotick9> Ubuntunub: you should check out rsync
[04:17] <chris_8> Hey room: Can someone help me add trash icon to taskbar for GNOME running on Ubuntu 11.10? I looked online to no avail sadface
[04:17] <underground_> back
[04:18] <underground_> toc toc
[04:18] <Ubuntunub> zykotick9, that's what I was planning, but then someone informed me that if the source dir is blank it might overwrite the backup directory to be empty as well.  The source is a ramdisk, so it might very well be empty when the cron runs.
[04:19] <Ubuntunub> So would a standard cp command be better?
[04:19] <zykotick9> Ubuntunub: just avoid the --delete stuff and you "should" be ok
[04:19] <chris_8> Right-click/add to panel doesn't work because "Trash" doesn't appear on the list of things to add
[04:19] <Ubuntunub> zykotick9:  Awesome.  I'll go give it a try.  :)  Thanks!
[04:20] <travis69420> anyone here recommend an opendns update client for ubuntu?
[04:20] <chris_8> Anyone running GNOME with 11.10? How to get trash icon on taskbar?
[04:21] <intok> zykotick9 I take it you had no luck either? I did find a ppa for SNES9x which works for SNES, but that still does nothing for the lack of NeoGeo emulation
[04:22] <Varq>  All right, I'm back. Now what do I do about this Synaptics Package thing, travis69420?
[04:22] <zykotick9> intok: so long as your on 32bit zsnes is certainy my favourite snes emulator.  For neo-geo I think sdlmame is probably one of the best options.  good luck.
[04:23] <xangua> chris_8: doesn't unity has a trash icon in the launcher?
[04:23] <chris_8> Xangua: maybe, I only used unity for a few minutes before DLing GNOME interface...
[04:24] <chris_8> and I'm staying with GNOME, trash icon or not
[04:24] <chris_8> I can bring up the Add to Panel window np but Trash isn't on it :/
[04:24] <intok> zykotick9 yeah I'm on 32 bit, but as I said, zsnes instantly crashes and bsnes launches but doesn't display anything, just runs invisibly eating resources silently till it's manually killed
[04:25] <zykotick9> intok: well, i don't run ubuntu - so can't really comment on stability issues on your distro
[04:26] <intok> zykotick9 mint? debian?
[04:26] <zykotick9> intok: doesn't matter ;)  it's ot.  Not mint for sure.
[04:27] <travis69420> varq: did u look in the package manager for blender?
[04:28] <avy> is there a way i can change the settings on the dash sidebar in  11.10?
[04:28] <Varq> travis69420: I did a search, and all I could find was Blender 2.58, which isn't what I'm looking for.
[04:28] <urfr332gO> avy, settings?
[04:29] <travis69420> ok so guess we'll have to use the one on blenders site then varq, i just wasnt sure if it was in the package manager which would save us steps
[04:30] <avy> i want it to be like it was in 11.4 where i have to touch the top left cornerto bring it up instead of touching any part of the left hand side
[04:30] <urfr332gO> avy, look in ccsm.
[04:32] <urfr332gO> avy, unity is a plugin there if anyc hnages can be made it would be there short of a hack.
[04:35] <Varq> Is there any reason I just can't use the files from http://graphicall.org/832 to install blender?
[04:36] <travis69420> varq give me one minute
[04:36] <travis69420> sorry working on many things
[04:36] <CFHowlett> Varq   as opposed to getting it from a known and trusted source?  No, go ahead.
[04:37] <Varq> Oh, dang it. It opened now. I guess I'm fine. It didn't open before. :/
[04:37] <travis69420> varq: u need 64-bit or 32-bit Blender?
[04:37] <travis69420> oh
[04:37] <travis69420> nvm then
[04:37] <travis69420> all that work for nothing
[04:37] <Varq> I'm sorry.
[04:38] <avy> damn that sucks im 100% sure there was an option that let you change basic settings in 11.4
[04:38] <avy> thanks for the help
[04:38] <fachex> Help, help!  :) I just reinstalled windows 7 in my laptop and wanted to install Ubuntu but now it would not boot any linux distro, the screen will go blank, finally I just got an error: Found something at drive = 91, erro 80, AX = 4283, drive 91
[04:38] <CFHowlett> fachex   does windows boot?
[04:39] <fachex> yes
[04:39] <fachex> I had no problem booting before
[04:39] <CFHowlett> fachex   what's your ubuntu installation media?  usb/cd??
[04:39] <fachex> any other linux distro
[04:39] <fachex> CD
[04:39] <fachex> but I am trying mint, PCLOS and all of them get stuck
[04:39] <CFHowlett> fachex   that look like a DRIVE fail message to me ...
[04:40] <fachex> it is like this installation of Win7 Ultimate did something to the drive
[04:40] <CFHowlett> fachex   consider trying a USB installation
[04:40] <fachex> it does look like that but I don't think so
[04:40] <fachex> I guess I will do that
[04:40] <CFHowlett> fachex   normally media can't do much to a drive, but I find that suspicious...
[04:40] <fachex> but I wanted to install a version of Linux Commodore 64 Vision distro
[04:40] <chipotle> hi, how do i configure my receiver on ubuntu? do i run amixer with pulseaudio?
[04:40] <CFHowlett> fachex   virtualbox is an option...
[04:40] <fachex> and that is on DVD
[04:41] <chipotle> my receiver has 5 channels/speakers that i want to configure... it is connected via hdmi
[04:41] <fachex> well, Linux will be my primary OS
[04:41] <fachex> I need some windows for work
[04:41] <CFHowlett> fachex   try usb.  If it STILL fails, you're iso is the problem.
[04:41] <fachex> I don't think my ISO is the problem
[04:41] <fachex> i tried several
[04:42] <fachex> and some of them used to work before
[04:42] <fachex> I don{t think is a drive problem bcz I am trying to run liveCD
[04:42] <fachex> so HDD should not matter
[04:42] <CFHowlett> fachex   if the optical drive won't boot, there's a problem with that...
[04:43] <fachex> it does boot windows thou
[04:43] <nathan28> CFHowlett: if the optical drive won't boot, it might not be in the bios boot list in the right order
[04:43] <chipotle> how do i configure pulseaudio?
[04:43] <tim167> hi,I'm trying to find files that contain a word, using grep, but grep doesn't seem to do anything; i do grep -R "word" ./ and it finishes immediately with no results
[04:43] <CFHowlett> nathan28   see the error msg, but you're right.
[04:43] <fachex> it does boot other things like MacOS
[04:44] <fachex> for Intel
[04:44] <fachex> but no Linux distro
[04:44] <CFHowlett> fachex   this is on a mac?
[04:44] <fachex> very weird
[04:44] <eQuiNoX__> is there an ubuntu application that can help monitor any kind of application crashes and log that?
[04:44] <fachex> no, PC
[04:45] <travis69420> how can i kill a tty session
[04:45] <aeon-ltd> eQuiNoX__: launch something from a terminal
[04:45] <urgodfather> does anyone in here use xbmc???
[04:45] <tim167> how can I get grep to work for finding a word inside files, in a subdirectory ?
[04:45] <travis69420> i have my useraccount logged on from two locations and i want to kill one
[04:45] <fachex> I have Hiron Boot CD on my usb and it did work
[04:45] <eQuiNoX__> aeon-ltd: yes, thats how im doing it - so I redirect the stderr stream to a file, thats what you mean?
[04:46] <fachex> let me try hiron on CD
[04:46] <cal_> how do i change the console video mode in ubuntu 11.10?
[04:46] <aeon-ltd> eQuiNoX__: it logs/prints messages to the terminal anyway
[04:46] <aeon-ltd> urgodfather: they do in #xbmc
[04:47] <eQuiNoX__> aeon-ltd: uh, im running a script and chances are that i'll be away when it runs so...
[04:47] <magn3ts> How on *EARTH* do I get Ubuntu/gnome-shell to forget a wifi network
[04:47] <urgodfather> aeon-ltd, i'm in there... watched you enter and leave lol
[04:47] <magn3ts> It always tries to connect to the registration netwokr no matter what I do.
[04:47] <aeon-ltd> urgodfather: heh :)
[04:47] <urgodfather> aeon-ltd... no one is answering
[04:49] <chipotle> how do i edit my pulseaudio config so it can find my a/v receiver?
[04:52] <zykotick9> cal_: it's configured through grub these days GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768 type thing, there is also some KEEP option you might need?  might be more challenging if you use nvidia/ati proprietary drivers
[04:53] <mrmcgibby2> Just logged out and back in, now unity is gone and I've got some interface I don't recognize with with "Activities" in the top left corner
[04:54] <mrmcgibby2> What is this?
[04:55] <cal_> zykotick9: that doesn't seem to be entirely true. I can see the system booting, starting up all the processes, until *right before* i get a login prompt. At that point the screen goes garbled. So it seems to be setting it to a video mode my card doesn't handle right at the end.
[04:55] <armence_> I need to set some environment variables for my window manager where can I set those? Is .xinitrc the right place?
[04:55] <cal_> zykotick9: i've messed with grub video settings, that changes video mode way before that.
[04:56] <zykotick9> cal_: look for that KEEP option
[04:56] <Guest73258> if anybody knows any opensource projects that need help, and would be easy to contribute to, I would love them forever
[04:56] <DeltaWhy> I'm looking for a way to block traffic to certain sites at certain times of day. Does anyone know of such a program?
[04:56] <cal_> zykotick9: for /etc/default/grub?
[04:57] <dax> mrmcgibby2: sounds like gnome shell
[04:57] <zykotick9> cal_: that's to edit it yes, but i mean you'll probably have to search online for that actual option (i don't think it's there by default)
[04:57] <mrmcgibby2> how do I get unity back?
[04:57] <cal_> " Set to .text. to force the Linux kernel to boot in normal text mode, .keep. to preserve the graphics mode set using .GRUB_GFXMODE. "
[04:57] <cal_> zykotick9 : that looks like the ticket, found it in the help. thanks!
[04:58] <zykotick9> cal_: there you go!
[04:58] <cal_> zykotick9: i wonder what it is taking over the video mode from grub though?
[04:58] <Guest17589> any PHP, C++, or python projects looking to take on a newbie, anyone know? One without 10000 lines of convoluted code
[04:59] <zykotick9> cal_: i'm not sure... this kms stuff is rather foggy in my understanding
[04:59] <thevaliantx> looking for a general linux channel where i can chat about various desktops for older computers.  for some reason i can't write in #linux or #linuxbeginner :/
[05:00] <zykotick9> !register | thevaliantx
[05:00] <cal_> zykotick9: nowadays even grub is getting too layered and abstracted... ugh... just one file menu.lst was so much easier.
[05:01] <urgodfather> does anyone in here use xbmc, boxee, or anything of the sort?
[05:01] <zykotick9> cal_: oh, i like grub2 way more then grub-legacy myself - very automatic (once you get your head around some of the weird stuff ;)
[05:01] <Guest17589> I use xbmc
[05:01] <cal_> bah ;)
[05:01] <thevaliantx> zykotick9, would the nickname i have now already be registered since i'm using it?
[05:01] <Guest92327> hi ,I'm searching a room , talking about ARM . can you help me?
[05:01] <urgodfather> guest17589 do u use navi-x too?
[05:01] <zykotick9> thevaliantx: i don't know - did you identify when you joined freenode?
[05:01] <Nach0z> Never got my head around why grub2 seems to use bash scripts rather than just straight configs for just about all the default stuff. I'm sure there's a very good reason, I just kinda wish it was ... easier to configure XD
[05:02] <thevaliantx> zykotick9, i just started up xchat.  it automatically gave me this nickname.
[05:02] <zykotick9> thevaliantx: try #freenode for issues about registering/joining channels though
[05:02] <thevaliantx> zykotick9, ok, thanks.
[05:02] <zykotick9> thevaliantx: then, no - it's not registered nick
[05:03] <zykotick9> Nach0z: all has to do with the automajic nature of grub2 ;)
[05:03] <Nach0z> yeah, that's great and all, but unfortunately sometimes grub2 don't do what I want it to do :P
[05:03] <cal_> zykotick9: how about disabling the console screensaver is that in grub too?
[05:03] <Nach0z> like, I don't want "quiet splash", i just want splash. gotta go in and edit all the 20_linux or whatever it is to find that line and whatnot
[05:04] <zykotick9> cal_: screen blanking can be a couple of different thing - sorry, I haven't had to "really" deal with that issue.  good luck.
[05:05] <zykotick9> Nach0z: poor example - "quiet splash" is in /etc/default/grub ;)
[05:06] <Nach0z> oh. well. hell. gonna go look for that right now
[05:06] <Nach0z> either way >_>
[05:06] <zykotick9> Nach0z: i still get you point
[05:07] <Nach0z> yeah. lol. grub2 is cool and all though
[05:07] <Nach0z> supergrub2disk is the best invention ever, btw
[05:07] <Nach0z> saved my arse on a dozen different occasions
[05:07] <terr_> does anyone know if Kubuntu provides an  option to partition the hdd?
[05:07] <CFHowlett> terr_   yes
[05:07] <Random832>  why does the password prompt warn you num lock is on
[05:08] <Random832> it should warn you if it's off, if anything
[05:08] <Nach0z> Random832: because of laptop keyboards
[05:08] <Random832> oh
[05:08] <Nach0z> if you have nunm lock on on a laptop keyboard the whole right side of the keyboard is moot
[05:08] <Random832> can i turn off that setting, i have a full keypad
[05:08] <Nach0z> probably not.
[05:09] <cal_> zykotick9: bah. 'keep' didn't work. something is still taking over.
[05:09] <Ben64> what is a very light WM i can use on my server
[05:09] <zykotick9> cal_: sorry don't know then?
[05:09] <cal_> GRR. I can see stuff fine as the processes start up.
[05:09] <Ben64> apt-get install metacity wants me to install 256MB of stuff
[05:09] <Nach0z> that's a lotta dependencies
[05:10] <zykotick9> Ben64: any of the *boxs are pretty light (openbox, fluxbox, etc)
[05:10] <Ben64> cool, i'll check em out
[05:10] <terr_> CFHowlett: I didn't see an option.... I'm debating about installing debian instead of kubuntu but I've heard so many good things about Ubuntu.  If  there is an option I missed it.  Are the install steps documented?     I'm building a new machine so I can easily restart the process.
[05:10] <cal_> zykotick9; right now my evil eye is on /etc/init.d/setvtrgb.
[05:11] <CFHowlett> terr_   when you boot up the installer will ask if you want to use some or all of the hdd ...
[05:11] <zykotick9> cal_: i have no idea what that even is... hope you find the answer.
[05:11] <terr_> ...and I have a major firefox problem.  It will NOT reload.  I jsut restarted X so this means its a Javascript issue in all likelihood.
[05:11] <terr_> CFHowlett: I said all
[05:11] <CFHowlett> terr_   for less user friendly but more controlled steps, use the alternate install method
[05:11] <Nach0z> terr_: kill firefox-bin ?
[05:11] <Nach0z> kill ALL the processes :D
[05:12] <terr_> CFHowlett: give me a few moments to revert firefox's journel
[05:12] <CFHowlett> terr_   no worries
[05:12] <zykotick9> terr_: if you want an experience REALLY close to debian, but still using Ubuntu - try the mini iso
[05:13] <terr_> CFHowlett: should in in .mozilla somewhere...
[05:13] <scientes> zykotick9, wuuuut
[05:13] <scientes> thats horrible
[05:13] <scientes> ubuntu != debian
[05:13] <Nach0z> lol
[05:13] <scientes> for example debian has systemd available in the repos
[05:13] <terr_> zykotick9: I'm not really interested in experiance.  I'll set up VM's for that.
[05:14] <scientes> a big place debian lags IMHO is that they....well no, they have an installable live CD now
[05:14] <Canadian1296> I want to set up a VPN server on my server, so I can have a secure tunnel into my network. What package do I need?
[05:14] <urfr332gO> !ot | scientes
[05:14] <zykotick9> scientes: are you calling the mini iso horrible?  i was impressed with ubuntu for the first time in a long time the other day installing mini - it's got close to 40 different install options
[05:15] <scientes> zykotick9, ooooh, I though you meant the ubuntu version of that, the alternate installer
[05:15] <scientes> cause ubuntu also has the "debian-installer" as a install method
[05:16] <zykotick9> scientes: mini is the debian netinstall but with ubuntu packages... moving on.
[05:16] <scientes> zykotick9, oh, well thats not debian
[05:17] <scientes> so don't say it is
[05:17] <scientes> thats what my first point was about
[05:17] <zykotick9> scientes: trust me - i didn't...
[05:17] <scientes> yes i know, i read " REALLY close to debian" as mocking debian
[05:17] <scientes> sorry
[05:18] <Canadian1296> Anyone?
[05:18] <T_H_X> Canadian1296: openvpn
[05:19] <nathan28> Canadian1296: have you tried searching with apt or in synaptic?
[05:19] <Canadian1296> T_H_X: Does it support L2TP? And can I use a password instead of keys?
[05:19] <nathan28> btw why does ubuntu name its pkg manager GUI after the touchpad?
[05:20] <zykotick9> nathan28: you have a touchpad called "ubuntu software center" that's odd
[05:20] <Jordan_U> nathan28: Synaptic != Synaptics
[05:21] <nathan28> Jordan_U: it's close enough to be confusing
[05:21] <macele> Synaptics != Semantics
[05:22] <Nach0z> lol
[05:22] <T_H_X> Canadian1296: dunno, support password though .. google it
[05:24] <terr_> CFHowlett: I've goit ff loading... hopefully it will laod now.  are the options during install documented?
[05:24] <CFHowlett> terr_   you're using the graphic installer?
[05:24] <nagarjuna> hi guys, i'm facing a problem. Last night i didnt shutdown my system properly. Morning when i was tried to open it is stuck at the login prompt. I'm unable to get the GUI desktop, but i'm able to login via cml-terminal
[05:24] <terr_> CFHowlett: I don't think so... been a few months.
[05:25] <jessie> how to create  bootable usb
[05:25] <CFHowlett> terr_   sorry, I must have confused myself - quickly remind me of what we're dealing with please
[05:25] <nagarjuna> can anyone give me a solution.
[05:25] <nathan28> jessie: unetbootin or dd an image that is usb-ootable
[05:25] <CFHowlett> jessie   System>Administration>Startup Disk Creator
[05:25] <Jordan_U> jessie: For installation or for use as a normal installed system?
[05:25] <terr_> CFHowlett: I ddo not recall being given the option to partition the disk.  I told it to just use reasonable defaults nad it created one parition:  /
[05:26] <y0om4> what is a good torrent downloader?
[05:26] <nathan28> terr_: that's why you never trust a "reasonable default"
[05:26] <jessie> Jordan_U:for installation of 11.10 ubuntu
[05:26] <Jordan_U> jessie: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[05:27] <CFHowlett> terr_   kubuntu installation tutorial
[05:27] <CFHowlett> http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/install_kubuntu_2.html#partitioning
[05:27] <Canadian1296> T_H_X: Okay, I googled it and all I could find was "openvpn vs l2tp"... Is there a VPN server similar to openvpn that supports L2TP?
[05:27] <magn3ts> I would just like to say it's beyond absurd that there is no way to get Rhythmbox to not exit like a normal application on every other desktop platform ever in existence ever.
[05:27] <terr_> CFHowlett: ff is not fully laoded yet.
[05:27] <magn3ts> especially when it happens when I'm not in Unity for my DM.
[05:27] <y0om4> what torrent program do you guys use?
[05:27] <terr_> CFHowlett: the installers should advise what they are doing.
[05:28] <CFHowlett> terr see this http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/install_kubuntu_2.html#partitioning
[05:28] <zykotick9> y0om4: this isn't a good place to poll.  you could try #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:28] <terr_> CFHowlett: I have to wait for ff
[05:28] <CFHowlett> terr_   you need to select MANUAL partition to get the options.
[05:28] <terr_> Its loading about 50 pages with tabs added.
[05:28] <terr_> CFHowlett: that is jsut DUMB
[05:29] <tazjin> y0om4: Transmission && qbittorrent
[05:29] <macele> Canadian1296: I think openvpn supports passwords
[05:29] <jessie> Jordan_u:i have already downloaded n saved in usb. As my writter has been corrupted i need to install thru usb so i need to create bootable tel em how
[05:29] <terr_> CFHowlett: ff just died again!
[05:29] <CFHowlett> terr_   50 tabs?  Seriously?
[05:29] <jessie> nathan28:what image wr i will get it
[05:29] <Jordan_U> jessie: The page I linked to gives detailed instructions for createing a bootable Ubuntu USB. Where are you getting stuck?
[05:30] <T_H_X> Canadian1296: try this one http://strongvpn.com/setup_ubuntu_11.10_l2tp.shtml
[05:30] <CFHowlett> terr_   has ffox failed multiple times?
[05:30] <jessie> Jordan_U: fine i will check it out
[05:30] <Canadian1296> macele: Okay, but I need to connect to the VPN server with L2TP or PPTP.
[05:30] <ponrajuganesh> How to recursivly assign a 777 to all the driectories and subdirectories?
[05:30] <T_H_X> openvpn doesnt support l2tp
[05:30] <nathan28> ponrajuganesh: why?
[05:31] <macele> Canadian1296: Are you connecting from a phone?
[05:31] <ponrajuganesh> nathan28 needed that?
[05:31] <nathan28> you need rwx on the whole disk?
[05:31] <nathan28> for all users?
[05:31] <terr_> CFHowlett: ya!  abouyt the 3rd or 4th time.  I must have hit a web page which it cannot digest and likely its a javascript issue or some jerk is trying to do something bad
[05:31] <Canadian1296> macele: Yes. It's just so I can have an ip and access services on my network from other networks.
[05:31] <ponrajuganesh> yup I am working on the remote machine nathan28
[05:32] <zykotick9> ponrajuganesh: without even knowing what your doing - i can say fairly confidently, that you're doing something wrong.
[05:32] <ponrajuganesh> there wll get it only as root, so to automate the writing process i need that nathan28
[05:32] <T_H_X> Canadian1296: use ssh and port forward
[05:32] <macele> Canadian1296: Android or iPhone?
[05:32] <terr_> CFHowlett: A few days back I had to manually blow away the sessionstore because even when I deleted certain web pages... teh session store still ahd them.  That store is suppose to be updated each time you visit or blow away a URL
[05:33] <urgodfather> cfhowlett, thans for the wiwfi help last night
[05:33] <nathan28> ponrajuganesh: chmod -R 777 /
[05:33] <jessie> Jordan_U:thanks i got it
[05:33] <Canadian1296> Canadian1296: iPhone
[05:33] <Jordan_U> ponrajuganesh: Do *NOT* run that command.
[05:33] <terr_> CFHowlett: I tend to work on a lot of things at a time and I do have about 50 pages open.  then some have 5-10 tabs
[05:33] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   no problem.  glad we got you fired up.
[05:33] <Flannel> ponrajuganesh: You really don't want that.
[05:33] <CFHowlett> terr_   ffox doesn't really like that ...
[05:33] <zykotick9> nathan28: if ponrajuganesh is using / to boot from - you probably just broke that install
[05:34] <terr_> CFHowlett: maybe that is why its dying.
[05:34] <Flannel> ponrajuganesh: If you really want to give that sort of access use +rwX instead.
[05:34] <Jordan_U> nathan28: 1: I think you've misinterpreted what ponrajuganesh wants, and 2: Even if that's what they think they want it's a terrible idea and will break their install. Please be more careful in the future.
[05:34] <CFHowlett> terr_   yes indeedy
[05:34] <terr_> CFHowlett: old version of ff too!  really old.  On Debian Sarge.
[05:34] <urgodfather> cfhowlett, i wish someone in here had a htpc that might be able to help
[05:34] <macele> Canadian1296: check this out... http://www.guizmovpn.com/
[05:34] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   ask on the ubuntu forums as well.  SOMEONE does.
[05:35] <terr_> urgodfather: what is an htpc?
[05:35] <nathan28> Jordan_U: hey, it's his machine
[05:35] <zykotick9> terr_: Home Theater PC
[05:35] <CFHowlett> terr_   home theater pc
[05:36] <terr_> ah... was tyring to talk to a vendor about buying a nettop for that purpose.  However a $35 raspberrypc should also suffice
[05:36] <Jordan_U> nathan28: Part 1 of my statement is important, don't forget it. And we don't give commands which are guaranteed to ruin user's installs here. Period.
[05:36] <terr_> was doiung that this evening and it might be their website that is crashing ff
[05:37] <zykotick9> urgodfather: i use MythTV for my HTPCs - i find the other frontends are quite unstable myself YMMV
[05:38] <macele> urgodfather: xbmc ftw
[05:38] <cal_> zykotick9: i had to add "nomodeset" to the kernel options. something called KMS (kernel mode setting) changes the video framebuffer which is within the kernel.
[05:39] <Canadian1296> macele: It requires jailbroken phone (that isn't an issue, I'd just prefer a server that supports L2TP)
[05:39] <zykotick9> cal_: thanks - i wouldn't have thought of that
[05:39] <terr_> CFHowlett: well... ff is up.  I cpied the session store from feb 24 over top of todays' and now its happy.
[05:39] <fede> Hi, I have a problem with konsole. I can't get it to show more than 2 colors. ¿What could be the problem?
[05:39] <cal_> zykotick9: you would think that is exactly what the "keep" option would be overriding though. oh well.
[05:40] <macele> Canadian1296: try this.. http://blog.riobard.com/2010/04/30/l2tp-over-ipsec-ubuntu
[05:41] <zykotick9> cal_: with the exception of the netbook (intel) that i'm currently typing on, all my systems/VMs require nomodeset - so it's pretty much a default for me.
[05:41] <Canadian1296> macele: I found something that could work (using openswan and xl2tpd)
[05:41] <y0om4> is there a hotkey to go to the dash screen?
[05:41] <cal_> zykotick9: what happends when you leave out that option on them?
[05:42] <macele> Canadian1296: also, there is this: http://strongvpn.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=788
[05:42] <Canadian1296> macele: It appears we found the same thing... :)
[05:42] <zykotick9> cal_: i get a black screen - ie no boot at all
[05:42] <cal_> zykotick9: ahh, okay. hey thanks for your help!
[05:42] <zykotick9> cal_: glad to help
[05:43] <Canadian1296> macele: Thanks for your help, ill give it a go tomorrow :)
[05:43] <macele> Canadian1296: good luck
[05:43] <chipotle> can i use alsa instead of pulseaudio with ubuntu>
[05:44] <chipotle> ?
[05:44] <chipotle> or is that a bad practice?
[05:44] <Canadian1296> macele: Thanks :)
[05:44] <zykotick9> chipotle: if you using gnome/unity - it's probably not a good idea.  Plus you are using ALSA, pulse requires alsa for hardware access (one is not a replacement of the other, pulse replaces esd)
[05:45] <chipotle> zykotick9: :/
[05:45] <chipotle> well, pulse isn't showing a profile for 5.0 surround sound in the ubuntu system prefs
[05:45] <Roasted> Does anybody know of a way to increase Unity's overall font size to be rather huge? I'd like to use Ubuntu with XBMC for my HTPC but if I minimize HTPC to google soemthing I want Unity to be more presentable from 12 ft away from the TV.
[05:45] <terr_> CFHowlett: can I ask your opinon on something?  If I were to write a shell which prompted people for options and verified them ... all Q&A... but not fill in the forms and something which is not at all like say BASH... much easier to program then any GUI... would that be useful for an installer and other system utils?
[05:45] <terr_> channel split
[05:46] <jessie> after installing ubuntu 11.10 whether i need to install vlc or it already contains
[05:46] <chipotle> zykotick9: is there anything i can do?
[05:46] <CFHowlett> terr_   I'm don't code, so I'm not the one to ask.  Sorry.
[05:46] <urfr332gO> jessie, you have to install it.
[05:46] <chipotle> all the searching points to threads with no one helping
[05:46] <zykotick9> chipotle: not that i'm aware of.  but sound issues are not my strong suite.  good luck.
[05:46] <macele> chipotle: As I understand it, pulse uses alsa
[05:46] <terr_> CFHowlett: think of it like your a systems admin.  Instead of being treated like a shgroom it tells you what is going on!
[05:47] <matti_> why is that that i can't correctly pin applications on the unity launcher?  it always resets after i logout.
[05:47] <chipotle> macele: yeah, i get that but lots of people on the net say they solved this by removing pulse and working directly with alsa
[05:47] <chipotle> im trying to set up a htpc and a lack of surround sound is a no-no
[05:47] <zykotick9> chipotle: you'd loose gnome sound if you remove pulse...
[05:47] <CFHowlett> terr_   I've never written a script, have no idea what/where/how such a thing would work.  Sorry, but IDK.
[05:47] <jessie> urfr332g0:thanks
[05:47] <terr_> CFHowlett: the problem as I see it and I'm a programmer is that the framework for a gui takes so much work that once its set up people try to force square pegs into round holes
[05:48] <terr_> CFHowlett: but you've used them.
[05:48] <terr_> CFHowlett: I'll have to flange up a demo... won't be too hard
[05:49] <jessie> what is gnome
[05:49] <terr_> CFHowlett: I'm going to drop the install tonight.
[05:49] <nathan28> jessie: a thing that sits on your lawn
[05:49] <nathan28> jessie: it's a DE
[05:49] <CFHowlett> terr_   good luck.
[05:49] <urgodfather> zykotick9, do u use navi on ur htpc's?
[05:49] <matti_> anybody know how to get the unity launcher on the left to correctly remember applications that should be pinned in the sidebar?
[05:49] <zykotick9> !gnome | jessie
[05:49] <zykotick9> urgodfather: i have no idea what navi is sorry
[05:49] <terr_> jessie: ints an IDE which is different than KDE and others... largely does the same things but some people  prefer one to the other
[05:50] <zykotick9> terr_: not an IDE just a DE
[05:50] <urgodfather> zykotick9 navi-x? its a plug-in
[05:50] <arjun> Apart from tty's. i'm not able to login via GUI login prompt. Can anyone tell , what might be the problem
[05:50] <zykotick9> urgodfather: then i can say NO, never heard of it
[05:50] <matti_> arjun: anything interesting in the log files?
[05:50] <urgodfather> macele do u use xbmc?
[05:51] <urgodfather> should check it out on ur mythbox's
[05:51] <macele> chipotle: Yes, and it will work with xbmc
[05:51] <terr_> zykotick9: what's the distinction?  I'm clearly out of date.
[05:51] <chipotle> macele: what will? i have no sound with xbmc and only stereo sound in my sound prefs
[05:51] <arjun> matti:yes, but unable to understand that.
[05:51] <zykotick9> terr_: IDEs are development environment, while DE is Desktop Environment
[05:51] <chipotle> i want my AVR to have sound passthru from the file to the AVR and then the AVR spit out the 5 channel sound i have
[05:52] <urgodfather> chipotle, i might be able to help
[05:52] <terr_> zykotick9: Brain fart!  Of course.  Like Borland's IDE which I happen to own!
[05:52] <macele> chipotle: My xbmc works with alsa, I installed xubuntu, so no unity or gnome to deal with
[05:52] <chipotle> urgodfather: awesome, well, i don't ahve the profile for digital surround hdmi output
[05:52] <chipotle> urgodfather: only digital stereo hdmi output
[05:52] <matti_> matti: see if there is anything interesting under /var/log/syslog
[05:52] <arjun> matti: one more thing is able to login as root, but no apps is workin glike vlc, thunderbird,firefox
[05:53] <chipotle> my htpc is connected via hdmi to my avr
[05:53] <chipotle> urgodfather: i don't know what to do?
[05:53] <chipotle> macele: oh, that's xfce4?
[05:53] <matti_> arjun: check if there's any interesting errors under /var/log/syslog
[05:53] <CFHowlett> !xfce|chipotle
[05:53] <urgodfather> chipotle, but u do have it working in ubuntu?
[05:54] <chipotle> urgodfather: oh, it looks like i am on linux 3.0.0-12 and the arch wiki says "As of Linux 3.1 multi-channel PCM output through HDMI with a Intel card (Intel Eaglelake, IbexPeak/Ironlake,SandyBridge/CougarPoint and IvyBridge/PantherPoint) is not yet supported. Support for it has been recently added and expected to be available in Linux 3.2. To make it work in Linux 3.1 you need to apply the following patches:"
[05:54] <chipotle> i'm using sandy bridge, so is that why hd audio isn't working?
[05:55] <chipotle> i guess i need to buy a video card to get surround sound to work via hdmi?
[05:55] <chipotle> urgodfather: no, that system pref is in ubuntu, can only get stereo
[05:55] <nathan28> chipotle: you can just wait for the kernel upgrade to get pushed to your repos
[05:55] <chipotle> nathan28: when will that be?
[05:55] <urgodfather> yeah
[05:55] <nathan28> no clue
[05:56] <urgodfather> macele do u use navi-x?
[05:56] <chipotle> well, i don't really want to wait since this is a htpc
[05:56] <chipotle> so i think i'll buy a video card tomorrow
[05:57] <arjun> matti: thanks..
[05:57] <urgodfather> chipotle, sounds like u problem :)
[06:01] <urgodfather> would anyone be willing to test something for me?
[06:02] <urgodfather> i want to know if the problem im experiencing is b/c of my install or if its related to the software
[06:02] <macele> urgodfather: Not sure. My xbmc connects to a serviio server I have running on another machine
[06:03] <urgodfather> macele, would u install the navi-x script for me and tell me if it is working
[06:03] <urgodfather> www.navi-x.org
[06:04] <macele> urgodfather: stand by
[06:04] <urgodfather> download the zip and install in xbmc, all you have to do is go to the add-ons and do from zip
[06:05] <melik> what are some good php forum software
[06:05] <CFHowlett> melik   phpbb
[06:05] <melik> apart from phpbbb
[06:06] <CFHowlett> melik   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Internet_forum_software_%28PHP%29
[06:06] <Chainer> i've used Simple Machine Forums and it's pretty good
[06:07] <chown_> guys im trying to mount my network partitions at my ubuntu login, i was told to look into the fstab file, and i did some progress, the thing is, i did mounted it all and can acess after the login
[06:07] <chown_> the thing is: i can only create folders/files at the root mount point
[06:08] <chown_> i cant create subfolders
[06:08] <urgodfather> in the meantime, can someone help me figure out how to update the medibuntu updates
[06:09] <jessie> what is KDE
[06:09] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   what's the issue?
[06:09] <Guest39161> ?
[06:09] <urgodfather> updater wont do the updates
[06:09] <urfr332gO> urgodfather, what are you using from medibuntu, in what release=OS
[06:09] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   error messages?
[06:10] <urgodfather> jessie KDE is a lightweight gui/window manager
[06:10] <urgodfather> apport-hooks and 2 others
[06:10] <macele> urgodfather seems to work, although I can't figure out what it does above what xbmc does already
[06:11] <zykotick9> urgodfather: KDE is a lightweight ... -- you MUST be kidding!
[06:11] <urgodfather> macele, click on portal
[06:11] <arjun> Can someone help me figure out how can i know that memory of the graphic card in my system
[06:11] <zykotick9> jessie: KDE is the heaviest DE on gnu/linux - requires the most resources
[06:12] <urgodfather> is it? i thought gnome was
[06:12] <Sterist> anyone know how to use testdisk? im trying to recover my 16gb mem card and it's being detected as 2199gb
[06:12] <zykotick9> urgodfather: not even close - KDE is a memory hog
[06:13] <urgodfather> zykotick9 really?
[06:13] <arjun> ?
[06:13] <urgodfather> i thought gnome had more dependencies than kde
[06:13] <Guest39161> how to install rt3070 network adapter driver?
[06:13] <urgodfather> i know xfce is lighter than both
[06:14] <Sterist> xfce is awesome
[06:14] <macele> urgodfather: it says "cannot open file"
[06:14] <urgodfather> macele, when you click on navi-x portal does it open?
[06:14] <urgodfather> ok
[06:14] <zykotick9> urgodfather: *box, lxde, xfce, gnome, kde (lightest to heaviest)
[06:14] <urgodfather> must be their servers,
[06:14] <urgodfather> what about enlightenment?
[06:15] <Sterist> anyone know how to use testdisk? im trying to recover my 16gb mem card and it's being detected as 2199gb
[06:15] <zykotick9> urgodfather: what about awesomewm?  there are lots of others, i just listed the big ones
[06:16] <urgodfather> zykotick9, true but not as talked about as enlightenment
[06:17] <zykotick9> urgodfather: i can't understand why anyone still talks about enlightenment - it's pretty much been unchanged in 10+ years, not exactly "current"
[06:17] <urgodfather> and the 3 updates i cant get to install through manager are apport hooks for medibuntu, libav codec library, and libav utility library
[06:18] <urgodfather> zykotic9, did not know that
[06:18] <zykotick9> !tab > urgodfather
[06:18] <Canadian1296> What is the best GnuPG GUI for Ubuntu?
[06:19] <urgodfather> zykotick9: thanks for the tip
[06:20] <zykotick9> urgodfather: typing z-y-k-o-t-i-c-k-9 is a huge pain, i only noticed cause you typoed
[06:20] <urgodfather> zykotick9: its not that bad... just when youre eating
[06:21] <zykotick9> urgodfather: z-y-TAB is a LOT easier ;)
[06:21] <urgodfather> zykotick9: indeed
[06:23] <urgodfather> CFHowlett: the 3 updates i cant get to install through manager are apport hooks for medibuntu, libav codec library, and libav utility library
[06:24] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   try sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:24] <arjun> hi, can anyone tel me where can i get the drivers for Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset
[06:24] <urgodfather> CFHowlett: the pc DID just do a partial dist upgrade about an hr ago
[06:24] <urgodfather> CFHowlett:  related?
[06:25] <zykotick9> urgodfather: do you mean "partial upgrade"?
[06:25] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   partial upgrade?  yeah, i'd think related.
[06:25] <CFHowlett> arjun   what drivers do you mean?
[06:25] <ye> hi everybody!!!!
[06:25] <zykotick9> urgodfather: NEVER do partial upgrade - that translates to, YOUR SYSTEM IS ABOUT TO BREAK
[06:25] <arjun> Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset
[06:26] <arjun> for ubuntu
[06:26] <urgodfather> CFHowlett: yeah it said partial upgrade
[06:26] <urgodfather> zykotick9: ^^^
[06:26] <arjun> graphic drivers i 'm talking about
[06:26] <CFHowlett> arjun   OK to DO what?  play videos?
[06:26] <zykotick9> urgodfather: ya, NEVER agree to those
[06:26] <urgodfather> first time i ever seen it
[06:26] <arjun> no. For  games
[06:27] <urgodfather> but i have had that problem with those medibuntu files for weeks
[06:27] <CFHowlett> arjun   sudo apt-get ubuntu-restricted-extras should be all you need.
[06:27] <rexbutler> Question:  I have Win7 running Ubuntu 10.04 under VirtualBox.  I have share links set up to my C and D drives, but I was wondering if I can access the Ubuntu file system from Win7
[06:28] <iceroot> rexbutler: only with samba, not with vbox
[06:28] <CFHowlett> arjun   I've got the Intel mobile 4 in my Dell - watch videos, play games with no problems.  It is worth making sure you've upgraded to the latest bios...
[06:28] <anonymousinuk> can someone please recomend a decent firewall and or anti-virus?
[06:28] <urgodfather> CFHowlett: the error i was getting was an authentication error... even if i did authenticate
[06:28] <iceroot> anonymousinuk: both are not needed
[06:28] <iceroot> !virus | anonymousinuk
[06:29] <urgodfather> zykotick9: is there a way to fix partial upgrade?
[06:29] <doc-saintly> is it possible to write an ext3 FS header to a disk, and hope it finds file records in the system?
[06:29] <bazhang> !info gufw | anonymousinuk
[06:29] <zykotick9> urgodfather: time machine, if you have one of those
[06:29] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   fix the partial is now your priority...
[06:29] <doc-saintly> or - is fsck capable of retrieving file names / folder strucutres?
[06:29] <iceroot> doc-saintly: no because you also need the superblock
[06:29] <doc-saintly> iceroot: is there a way to scan to see if it's present somewhere?
[06:29] <ye> cls
[06:30] <urgodfather> zykotick9: guess i need to break out the flux capacitor
[06:30] <rexbutler> Okay, next question:  Can I get to the files on a virtual disk image if everything else gets mucked up?
[06:30] <rexbutler> Maybe I'm in the wrong channel...
[06:30] <urgodfather> CFHowlett: how to? system appears to be running fine after a series of boot failures
[06:30] <Canadian1296> rexbutler: Not that im aware of.
[06:31] <anonymousinuk> ok
[06:31] <Canadian1296> rexbutler: I guess you could boot the VM from a live cd (ISO), and then access your files
[06:31] <CFHowlett> rexbutler   save essential files in virtualbox / usb backups
[06:31] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   "series of boot failures" ...
[06:31] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   I did partial upgrade once.  ONCE!
[06:31] <zykotick9> urgodfather: "partial upgrade" is a terrible wording - but it means there are packages that aren't available at this time.  Sorry i don't have any real suggestions - FYI this is where "aptitude safe-upgrade" comes in REAL handy, but ubuntu decided to remove that from default install.
[06:32] <CFHowlett> zykotick9   is there a fix?
[06:32] <anonymousinuk> so is there a tool that i can check to see if my pc has been compromised?
[06:32] <CFHowlett> to partial upgrade
[06:32] <urgodfather> it appears to run fine now
[06:32] <zykotick9> CFHowlett: you mean besides the time machine suggestion?  sorry i don't know of one.
[06:33] <rexbutler> Soon I will get an online backup service
[06:33] <arjun> CFHowlett: i installed that. Should i need to install  anything apart from that
[06:33] <urfr332gO> anonymousinuk, what makes you think it has been?
[06:33] <urgodfather> i think the series of boot failures were related to me not doing a proper reboot
[06:33] <CFHowlett> arjun   that pretty much solved ALL your multimedia driver issues...
[06:33] <aleale97> Hi
[06:34] <arjun> ok
[06:34] <CFHowlett> greetings | aleale97
[06:34] <CFHowlett> aleale97   greetings
[06:34] <aleale97> Thanks CF

[06:35] <aleale97> Google can help you! :-)
[06:36] <capecarnation> what package is needed to be installed in order to disable the touchpad on a dell inspiron?
[06:36] <anonymousinuk> cos my cpu being lil wierd and keeps calling for updates even though they are already complete and up to date, im total noob  and maybe just paranoid
[06:36] <urfr332gO> anonymousinuk, do not pm me.
[06:36] <anonymousinuk> now every fucker knows im noob they all want a piece
[06:37] <urfr332gO> anonymousinuk, I just asked you a simple question.
[06:37] <pangolin> !language | anonymousinuk
[06:38] <capecarnation> just about every person in this channel is a noob.  it is rare for someone that truly knows what they're doing to be in here.  nothing wrong with that :)
[06:38] <CFHowlett> capecarnation   there MAY be something in the dell Recovery media  creator
[06:39] <anonymousinuk> yea i know i can read like i said i didnt really wanna broadcast im a noob to whole room
[06:39] <CFHowlett> anonymousinuk   too late?
[06:39] <Canadian1296> capecarnation: Even if that's true, as long as we all know different things, together we know a whole lot :)
[06:39] <capecarnation> CFHowlett, not necessary, but thanks.  i can either disable it in the system set up menu or install a package that gives me a gui.  i'm going the route of the latter ;)
[06:39] <tables> what is the sound device on ubuntu?
[06:40] <tables> /dev/what ?
[06:40] <anonymousinuk> cfh yea kinda guessed that
[06:40] <capecarnation> Canadian1296, ok.  true, wasn't my point, but i do agree with you.
[06:41] <anonymousinuk> can i monitor my eth0 with tcpdump ?
[06:42] <anonymousinuk> and check for a compromise?
[06:43] <zykotick9> !info rkhunter | anonymousinuk
[06:44] <anonymousinuk> cheers guys
[06:44] <anonymousinuk> i may be back
[06:45] <CFHowlett> anonymousinuk   good luck mysterious stranger
[06:45] <anonymousinuk> CFH im sure thats not true
[06:45] <fairuz_> do-release-upgrade --proposed <-- does this command upgrade your machine from whatever version to the latest 12.04? Or I need something else.
[06:46] <urgodfather> CFHowlett: do you program?
[06:46] <CFHowlett> urgodfather   I do not program...
[06:47] <urgodfather> CFHowlett: ok nevermind
[06:47] <zykotick9> fairuz_: i'm not one for upgrading distros, but i think it's -d for development you want
[06:47]  * CFHowlett Thinks distro s/hoppers have commitment issues.
[06:47] <zykotick9> fairuz_: ask #ubuntu+1 for confirmation
[06:47] <fairuz_> zykotick9: thanks
[06:51] <anonymousinuk> CFHowlett how would one check to see if the site that im visiting to download hkhunter is a safe site?
[06:52] <CFHowlett> anonymousinuk   I pretty much trust my ffox settings and add-ons to alert me.  https-everywhere and betterprivacy
[06:53] <fri[k]> hi
[06:53] <CFHowlett> fri[k]   greetings
[06:53] <fri[k]> how can i see which programs are using certain ports on localhost?
[06:55] <zykotick9> fri[k]: (there's a better method) but if you know the ports you are interested in "lsof | grep 80" should list what is using port 80
[06:56] <fri[k]> cool
[06:56] <fri[k]> thx
[06:56] <fri[k]> or netstat right?
[06:56] <zykotick9> fri[k]: ya but i don't know the switches required ;)

[07:29] <joe_evans> speakers ok, sound settings ok, volume up, butno sound
[07:29] <EkurioX> You may want to try a cloud OS http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/solaris11/overview/index.html
[07:29] <impi> i've downloaded the latest firefox, extracted it, and the latested flash player, but nothing i do will make firefox pick up flash
[07:29] <theadmin> EkurioX: Spam is not welcome here.
[07:29] <arjun> EkurioX: Hi, i need a solution, i dont want to change my entire os / reinstall new ubuntu
[07:30] <EkurioX> install flash under root
[07:30] <zykotick9> arjun: ignore EkurioX
[07:30] <tsimpson> EkurioX: stop giving bad advice place
[07:30] <tsimpson> *please
[07:30] <arjun> yup
[07:31] <impi> EkurioX: but if firefox is in /home/win/firefox/ where should i put the libflash.so file?

[07:32] <theadmin> impi: ~/.mozilla/plugins/ or /usr/lib/firefox
[07:32] <impi> theadmin: thank you let me try this
[07:32] <tsimpson> arjun: sorry, I can't really help with that. my network "just works" so I've never had to troubleshoot it
[07:32] <EkurioX> Fire fox should be installed under ~/user/lib
[07:33] <theadmin> *facepalm*
[07:33] <theadmin> tsimpson: Thank you.
[07:33] <EkurioX> hi guys
[07:33] <theadmin> Tm_T: You too :)
[07:33] <tsimpson> EkurioX: make sure you read the guidelines link in the channel /topic
[07:34] <theadmin> EkurioX: If you have no idea what you are talking about, don't talk.
[07:34] <EkurioX> shut up moron i done said the exact thing u did... BS
[07:34] <theadmin> Heheh.
[07:34] <arjun> ok
[07:34] <theadmin> Tm_T: And thanks again
[07:37] <XDS2010> hello
[07:37] <XDS2010> the grub menu isn't coming up anymore, i just upgrade to SP1, used wubu to initially install
[07:37] <XDS2010> please help
[07:38] <XDS2010> i think i might have installed to the wrong partition
[07:38] <theadmin> XDS2010: You may need to reconfigure your bootloader to point to wubi again somehow, or just do a normal install
[07:38] <urfr332gO> XDS2010, wubi is a file in windows.
[07:38] <XDS2010> theadmin: i don't want to overwrite anything
[07:38] <XDS2010> urfr332gO:  is there a fix for this?
[07:38] <recognosco> did anyone here build a gcc-4.7 snapshot on ubuntu successfully? i have tried quite a few times... and failed :(
[07:39] <urfr332gO> XDS2010, maybe really a regular install is a better way to go.
[07:39] <XDS2010> urfr332gO:  nnnnno i dont want to overwrite
[07:40] <theadmin> XDS2010: You can install Ubuntu near Windows without any problems
[07:40] <urfr332gO> XDS2010, NOT MUCH WUBI EXPERTISE HERE, YOU WOULD BE BETTER WITH A THREAD ON THE UBUNTU FORUMS REALLY.
[07:40] <recognosco> ps. the gcc-snapshot package that is currently installable from oneric is from october 2011
[07:40] <XDS2010> i dont understand, am i in shock
[07:40] <urfr332gO> opps sorry cap locked mistake my bad
[07:41] <XDS2010> do the wubi files live on the partition ?
[07:41] <XDS2010> :(
[07:41] <urfr332gO> XDS2010, yeah the windows partition, as a file.
[07:41] <pfifo> recognosco, whats the problem?
[07:42] <XDS2010> urfr332gO: all i see is a 2 meg exe file
[07:42] <XDS2010> and the iso
[07:43] <urfr332gO> XDS2010, I know very little about wubi really, other then what I have posted.
[07:43] <XDS2010> ok
[07:43] <theadmin> XDS2010: The Ubuntu install in case of wubi is stored in drive/ubuntu/disks/root.disk (where "drive" is the partition you "installed" to)
[07:44] <XDS2010> theadmin:  i see no ubuntu folder in any drives
[07:44] <Sterist> anyone know how to use testdisk --or-- know of an alternative? im trying to recover my 16gb mem card and it's being detected as 2199gb
[07:45] <recognosco> pfifo: failing to build gcc-4.7 snapshot
[07:45] <chown_> hey guys, supose i want to install linux on another pc, is there a way to me back up all my configuration from this pc and take it to the another one? if there is, how should i proceed?
[07:45] <recognosco> pfifo: had any success with it?
[07:46] <pfifo> recognosco, well there not guaranteed to build at all. Ill try the latest and see what happens
[07:46] <theadmin> chown_: Just take a disk image with dd
[07:46] <theadmin> chown_: That is, though, only if the target machine has a hard drive of size equal to or greater than that of the source machine.
[07:46] <XDS2010> theadmin:  are you sure it lives as a file
[07:46] <theadmin> XDS2010: Yes.
[07:47] <drcode> hi all
[07:47] <XDS2010> :-/ , my god i hope so
[07:47] <pfifo> recognosco, ill try with GCC 4.7-20120225 Snapshot
[07:47] <drcode> how can I disable pae in ubuntu 11.10
[07:47] <zykotick9> theadmin: that is going to cause network issues however - udev is going to find a new MAC and thus change the ethX
[07:47] <zykotick9> drcode: install a non PAE kernel
[07:47] <recognosco> pfifo: i am trying that myself. thanks.
[07:47] <pfifo> drcode, install a non-pae kernel
[07:47] <drcode> I use it in other virtualbox with pure 64bit
[07:47] <theadmin> zykotick9: Yeah some I guess. Well.
[07:47] <llutz_> chown_: tar your old installation, copy/extract to new, edit /etc/fstab, rewrite grub, done
[07:47] <theadmin> zykotick9: You could use tar
[07:47] <drcode> the vdi is installed with pae , is there way to change it?
[07:48] <chown_> theadmin: ok, im sorry i think i didnt express what i mean. how would i backup my linux, so if something happened i would have my linux backup to put in this machine or another one? the same thing?
[07:48] <tsimpson> drcode: unless you installed (and booted from) a PAE kernel, it's not enabled. if you did, then just boot from a non-PAE (ie -generic) kernel
[07:48] <chown_> Oh, really that simple?
[07:48] <tsimpson> drcode: sorry, wrong one
[07:48] <tsimpson> pfifo: unless you installed (and booted from) a PAE kernel, it's not enabled. if you did, then just boot from a non-PAE (ie -generic) kernel
[07:48] <theadmin> chown_: Probably so. But I suggest you use the tar methd.
[07:48] <tsimpson> ignore me..
[07:48] <llutz_> chown_: and remove /etc/udev/rules.d/*persisten-net*
[07:48] <drcode> I have old vdi that pae is enabled
[07:49] <pfifo> tsimpson, drcode is asking
[07:49] <tsimpson> pfifo: yeah, just ignore me. not enough caffeine
[07:49] <llutz_> "70-persistent-net.rules" it is
[07:50] <chown_> theadmin: im sorry im new to this world. when a new update comes to ubuntu, like 12.04 is comming. How would i handle that? should i do a clean install and somehow put my things there or it would just updame my 11.10?
[07:50] <drcode> is it possible to use ubuntu rescue and remove kernel-image-pae?
[07:50] <drcode> any huide?
[07:50] <drcode> guide
[07:50] <theadmin> chown_: Clean installs work, but you can upgrade too (then again you can never be sure it works right, it doesn't work for everyone)
[07:51] <drcode> can I tell in boot menu to diable pae?
[07:51] <drcode> so I can boot and remove the kerenl?
[07:52] <zykotick9> chown_: ubuntu's release schedule doesn't allow for much testing of upgrades from one release to the next, so issues are VERY common.  You'll probably find most experienced ubuntu users will recommend clean installs.
[07:52] <XDS2010> theadmin:  E2FS worked
[07:52] <chown_> theadmin: i see. ty. do u know a good source for me to search and understand what each subfolder of / is for? like bin,etc,usr etc?
[07:52] <XDS2010> thanks guys
[07:52] <XDS2010> you guys are freakin SUPERB!
[07:53] <chown_> zykotick9: i see, but in this case, how should ibackup my things and configurations to pass to clean install?
[07:53] <llutz_> !fhs | chown_
[07:53] <XDS2010> i think im going to cry
[07:53] <chown_> zykotick9: just my home folder?
[07:53] <theadmin> chown_: Google for "FHS"
[07:53] <Kartagis> do you guys know of a broken link checker for websites behind CAS?
[07:54] <zykotick9> chown_: home is a good place to start for sure, if you don't personally edit system settings /etc, then /home might be all you need.
[07:54] <XDS2010> for anyone else that runs into this http://www.chrysocome.net/downloads/vv-0.7-install.exe , this will read the volume
[07:55] <chown_> thank you guys, theadmin, llutz_, zykotick9. i apreciate your help.
[07:59] <Linuxephus> Who here has experience installing scripts for the IRSSI client? The directions for doing so at irssi.org are inadequate at best.
[07:59] <llutz_> Linuxephus: ~/.irssi/scripts
[07:59] <llutz_> Linuxephus: ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun for those you want to "autorun"
[08:00] <Linuxephus> llutz_: That directory doesn't exist in my home folder. Nor have I been able to create it using the listed commands to do so.
[08:00] <llutz_> Linuxephus: mkdir -p ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun
[08:00] <chown_> quick question, there are programs that install themselves at /usr/bin?
[08:01] <Linuxephus> llutz_: Ah, now I'm getting somewhere, my thanks. Standby.
[08:01] <chown_> i mean, if my pc has 2 users registred, and i intall a software, this software is able for both users, or just for me?
[08:01] <llutz_> chown_: for all users
[08:02] <zykotick9> chown_: most programs install there... /usr is shared
[08:02] <theadmin> chown_: Depends on how you install it. If you use APT, then for everyone
[08:03] <chown_> ok, ty again. now im gonna read a little for more understanding. thank you!
[08:03] <llutz_> chown_: "a user" can only install stuff inside his $HOME. to install things to /usr/* it needs root-rights(sudo) and it will be available systemwide the
[08:03] <llutz_> n
[08:03] <Linuxephus> llutz_: My thanks. Such a simple command opens many a door way.
[08:04] <llutz_> Linuxephus: well, linux basics :)
[08:04] <pfifo> recognosco, im failing at building libiberty, most likely due to new code only partially being introduced. there could be a patch on the mailing list. but Im not going to search for it.
[08:04] <Linuxephus> Apparently I need to brush up onmine friend.
[08:04] <chown_> llutz_: oh, i got it! by default the ubuntu software center install things as root?
[08:04] <llutz_> chown_: yes
[08:05] <chown_> ok, thanks llutz_
[08:08] <mike___> Hey, anyone around that knows about problems with nvidia drivers and (impossible) max resolution on external monitors?
[08:12] <recognosco> pfifo: i just downloaded the frozen 4.7 snapshot for ubuntu from launchpad. which is supposed to be patched. or so i assume. building it now. *crossed fingers*
[08:12] <recognosco> pfifo: thanks anyways.
[08:12] <okum> homeboys.. i used to be able to watch fullscreen vids on youtube, after updating my driver, fullscreen is laggy.. like it skips pixels or something.
[08:13] <Sterist> anyone know how to use testdisk --or-- ANY alternative? im trying to recover my 16gb mem card and it's being detected as 2199gb
[08:15] <pneftali> hi guys, how to create symbolic link ? ln -s name_of_link path/of/the/file ?
[08:15] <helmut_> hi
[08:17] <tsimpson> pneftali: "ln -s target link_name"
[08:17] <SubjectOne> what does a symbolic link do ?
[08:17] <SubjectOne> is that like a shadow copy
[08:18] <jb3258_> kinda
[08:18] <arjun> its like a shotcut of that file
[08:18] <tsimpson> SubjectOne: it create a file that only references the target file, but doesn't actually contain data
[08:18] <SubjectOne> i want to centralize my logfiles in a dir, wish is synced in realtime to a external location ( so the primary log's can't be erased )
[08:19] <pneftali> tsimpson: i'm doing this -- su myname ln -s /var/www/zend/library/Zend ./linkme
[08:19] <chown_> but if some sort of service pick this shortcut it will redirect to the file/folder right?
[08:19] <SubjectOne> wish = which
[08:19] <SubjectOne> my english sux
[08:19] <pneftali> and got a response -- /var/www/zend/library/Zend: /var/www/zend/library/Zend: is a directory
[08:19] <pfifo> I say we order pizza, enough to feed 1457
[08:20] <pneftali> tsimpson: did i miss something ?
[08:22] <shivam7074> can any 1 tell what is this "freenode web irc"???
[08:22] <tsimpson> pneftali: su expects the command to be passed via the -c option, so try:  su -c "ln -s /var/www/zend/library/Zend ./linkme" myname
[08:23] <pneftali> mm will try
[08:23] <SubjectOne> shivam7074: , how do you mean ? you are already on it
[08:24] <pneftali> tsimpson: i'm am getting a permission denied response
[08:24] <tsimpson> pneftali: make sure the user has permission to write to the directory
[08:25] <shivam7074> i just get in here wid my probs, but don no wat this place is???
[08:25] <biopyte> hi. is there such an application that works like a news ticker, scrolling news in a bar, but with own text messages and alarm functionality?  somehow, a scrolling messages alarm clock.
[08:25] <pneftali> tsimpson: how do I check my permission ?
[08:25] <SubjectOne> shivam7074: , here you can ask a question , and hopefully some ubuntu guru can help you
[08:25] <tsimpson> pneftali: look at the output of "ls -ld"
[08:26] <pfifo> shivam7074, this is a chat room, the topic is ubuntu support
[08:26] <pneftali> tsimpson: ls -ld at my current directory and get this response -- "drwxr-xr-x 64 bhermoso bhermoso 4096 Sep 29 23:40 ."
[08:27] <pneftali> bhermoso isn't me, tho
[08:27] <shivam7074> and is this only for ubuntu users like me??? cuz i saw somethin like channels wat r channels???
[08:27] <tsimpson> pneftali: then your user doesn't have any write permissions to that directory, and so can't create a file (or link) there
[08:27] <SubjectOne> try '/list' that will show you the active channels on freenode ( beware : this can take some time to render )
[08:28] <pneftali> tsimpson: i'm assuming bhermoso has the write permisison?
[08:28] <pneftali> permission*
[08:28] <pfifo> shivam7074, IRC or internet relay chat is a service designed to host chatrooms, freenode is an irc network.
[08:29] <tsimpson> pneftali: well, that output tells you that the owner is "bhermoso" and the group is "bhermoso". the permissions are "rwxr-xr-x", so only 'w' (write) exists for the owner
[08:29] <shivam7074> does ubuntu own irc???
[08:30] <tsimpson> shivam7074: IRC is not owned by anyone, it's a protocol, like http is
[08:30] <SubjectOne> shivam7074 : how old r you
[08:30] <pfifo> SubjectOne, /var/log is a great place to put log files, most of the system and daemon logs are already there as well

[08:31] <shivam7074> why???
[08:32] <pfifo> shivam7074 reminds me of the days when DALnet was cool
[08:32] <SubjectOne> pfifo : i know, but want a realtime copy of those logs ( on other place ) when there is an intrusion (  i can resort to untampered logs )
[08:32] <SubjectOne> shivam7074: , cause all information you asked is available in google :p
[08:32] <AdvoWork> Hi there, just wondering, does anyone know exactly what sudo apt-get install php5-gd does? i mean, does it literally get the .so and copy it to a dir and change php.ini or what else? how would I ever find that out?
[08:32] <pfifo> SubjectOne, use rsync to move copy them to another location
[08:33] <shivam7074> sorry to bother u all???
[08:34] <pfifo> shivam7074, as you can see this is a busy chatroom, you should join #ubuntu-offtopic to discuss non-ubuntu support topics
[08:34] <SubjectOne> shivam7074: , you didn't bother at all, but research your questions abit before asking ( we can put you on the right track )
[08:34] <Kaco> hi
[08:35] <theadmin> AdvoWork: dpkg -L php5-gd (once installed) will list all files in the php5-gd package
[08:35] <theadmin> AdvoWork: Will help you to figure something out hopefully
[08:36] <llutz_> SubjectOne: why don't you use a loghost, without local logs?
[08:37] <SubjectOne> ah didn't know that was an option
[08:37] <SubjectOne> will have al look for that
[08:37] <pfifo> AdvoWork, apt-get is a front end for the "dpkg" program also
[08:37] <SubjectOne> thanx llutz

[08:39] <aleale97> Hi
[08:40] <recognosco> damn
[08:40] <recognosco> crti.o was not found
[08:41] <recognosco> apt-file search found it in a few places
[08:41] <k013> hi, doubt, please help! why i operate my laptop without connecting to the internet the cpu temperature is 48 celsius when connected via firefox the temperature is 62 celsius, is this normal? (ubuntu 11.10)
[08:41] <pfifo> recognosco, why exactly are you trying to build a snapshot?
[08:41] <k013> i mean - when
[08:41] <tsimpson> recognosco: it's part of the compiler (GCC)
[08:42] <pfifo> recognosco, crti.o would be created while building, it looks like someone messed up the makefile
[08:42] <recognosco> pfifo: playing with c++11 features... hehe
[08:42] <aleale97> It's definely not normal...
[08:42] <pfifo> recognosco, why not use a stable build of gcc?
[08:42] <Subject1ne> holly crap
[08:43] <sweb> ubuntu have a problem. destroy my laptop speaker twice and my friend also
[08:43] <recognosco> pfifo: 4.6 doesn't support a lot of the new C++11 things... like regex or using typedef
[08:43] <tester> hi
[08:43] <aleale97> Hi tester
[08:44] <pfifo> recognosco, i thought there were patches for them?
[08:44] <tsimpson> recognosco: I don't think regex is even in gcc trunk
[08:45] <k013> aleale97 - anything i can do to cool things down? (not a code writer by the way)
[08:45] <aleale97> K03 any pronli
[08:45] <aleale97> Em?;-)
[08:45] <tsimpson> k013: CPUs normally operate at those kinds of temperatures, ~60 is pretty normal
[08:46] <tsimpson> especially for slightly older CPUs
[08:46] <pat123> salut
[08:46] <recognosco> tsimpson: #include <regex.h> is supported in 4.7
[08:47] <aleale97> But why so much difference?
[08:47] <aithox> hello..i've some problem with my cursor .. it is disappear while mouse press
[08:47] <tsimpson> recognosco: the <regex> header exits, and many of the classes also exist. they just don't actually work :)
[08:47] <k013> tsimpson - thanks, but the laptop is brand new, and the battery stay for only 4 minutes. that's why i asked. when dual boot with windows the battery lasts for 1.5 hrs and cpu temp 52 celsius
[08:48] <recognosco> tsimpson: well, i am using boost for now anyways, was just trying to see if i could get 4.7 snapshot to work
[08:48] <Dave_Maydew> Will 12.04 work with the GeForceFX video cards?
[08:48] <pfifo> k013, it might be time to clean your CPU block and fan.
[08:48] <tsimpson> recognosco: I tried a while ago with 4.7, there are some new toys, but no regex
[08:48] <Starn> ummm i don't know if this is the right place to ask.. but is there an 64bit alternitive to colinux?  i would like to have some of the ubuntu futures on windows.. and i used to use colinux.. it used less memory the a VM which i am short on.
[08:49] <aithox> hello..i've some problem with my cursor .. it is disappear while mouse press
[08:49] <pfifo> k013, perhaps youi should look into power saving features of linux
[08:49] <tsimpson> k013: also, have a look and see if there are processes using the CPU, there may be ways to trim down the usage
[08:49] <aithox> on ubuntu 11.10
[08:50] <k013> pfifo and tsimpson- i'll do that and get back, thank you so much, have a nice day, bye!
[08:50] <pfifo> !pangolin | Dave_Maydew
[08:50] <aithox> :S
[08:51] <aithox> :-/
[08:51] <Dave_Maydew> I'm aware of that, but will it have the issues of 11.04 & 11.10 ironed out for the Nvidia GeForceFX Cards?
[08:51] <pfifo> "Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1"
[08:51] <M4dH4tt3r> y dave?
[08:52] <Seryth> Dave_Maydew: I have a nVidia GeForce FX 5200, no problems in 11.04 or 11.10
[08:52]  * M4dH4tt3r has never had such issues but has head of them
[08:52] <M4dH4tt3r> heard*
[08:52] <Dave_Maydew> I run a Sony VGC-V2M with the GeFprceFX 5700 onboard and I get grey screen and a cutout where Unity is
[08:53] <Dave_Maydew> if it can work, where am I going wrong?
[08:54] <Dave_Maydew> I know the 173 driver don't work
[08:55] <recognosco> tsimpson: i don't know why, but i thought 4.7 had regex support. how naive of me.
[08:55] <Dave_Maydew> I want to make the move to Unity, especially after playing on a friends PC with it
[08:56] <Dave_Maydew> so if anyone can point me in the right direction to get it to work, I'll be a very happy man
[08:56] <pfifo> Dave_Maydew, you can always use unity-2d
[08:57] <Dave_Maydew> tried but it screws up still
[08:57] <Dave_Maydew> as 11.10 boots into a grey screen it won't display anything
[08:58] <tsimpson> recognosco: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/status.html#status.iso.200x contains the current status, most of the regex stuff is still "partial"
[08:58] <Dave_Maydew> and I've been told my version of card has been blacklisted
[08:58] <pfifo> Dave_Maydew, have you tried the new noeavu driver?
[08:58] <aithox> hello..i've some problem with my cursor .. it is disappeared while mouse pressing
[08:59] <Dave_Maydew> If I could install it via the GUI I would
[08:59] <aithox> if i m in wrong place plz point me another channel
[08:59] <Dave_Maydew> unless there's a way to do it via the Terminal?
[08:59] <aithox> :S
[08:59] <aithox> :S
[09:01] <Dave_Maydew> I've been running Ubuntu since making the move from the darkside in 2009, but I've only just decided t really learn the terminal commands
[09:01] <recognosco> tsimpson: yeah. dismal. :(
[09:02] <pfifo> Dave_Maydew, this should explain everything https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/NvidiaDriverSwitching
[09:04] <Pikkachu> "apt-get build-dep: causes apt-get to install/remove packages in an attempt to satisfy the build dependencies for a source package" -- is this process rollbackable?
[09:05] <aithox> hi is there another ubuntu channel?
[09:05] <Dave_Maydew> Will this removing old drivers and installing Nouveau ones work on my card?
[09:05] <Pikkachu> aithox: a lot
[09:06] <pfifo> Dave_Maydew, do the part in #6 Problem: Need to fully remove -nvidia and installing or reinstall -nouveau from scratch
[09:06] <ZeloZelos_> not here
[09:06] <ZeloZelos_> oops
[09:08] <pfifo> Pikkachu, it will list all the packages that it intends to install/remove you can copy this info down and rollback manually at a later time
[09:08] <aithox> i've some problem with my cursor .. it is disappeared while mouse pressing
[09:08] <Dave_Maydew> will give Part 6 a go
[09:08] <aithox> plz..
[09:08] <aithox> anybody no?
[09:09] <pfifo> !patience | aithox, the channel is slow right now,
[09:10] <aithox> :S :D
[09:10] <aithox> no one answer me
[09:10] <aithox> :S
[09:10] <daan4711> Hi, I have got a question: How can I set up my usb-keyboard to have another keyboard-layout than my laptop-built-in-keyboard. I figured something out using xorg.conf, but this does only work when I start u with my usb-keyboard plugged in, after replugging, it reverts back to the original keyboard-layout.
[09:12] <pfifo> daan4711, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
[09:12] <aithox> oic thx
[09:14] <Pikkachu> pfifo: oh just remembered, but I have a dependency-resolving tool in hand, I don't get how can't it make the process reversible
[09:14] <daan4711> pfifo: Hi, thanx for the link. But this wiki doesn't seem to say anything about multiple layouts and keyboards, or am I wrong?
[09:15] <hroi> hi
[09:15] <hroi> im wondering how often my pid's roll over... how high do they actually go?
[09:16] <hroi> I have a process that records pid's and kills those certain pid's after a time-out... so I'm worried about safe practice.
[09:16] <pfifo> Pikkachu, if it says its going to install x package, then you can later remove x package with ap-get purge
[09:16] <pat123> how cant i get my broadcom to f ^%$ work(on maverick) i ve read plz direct me to  documentation
[09:16] <pfifo> hroi, 65535
[09:16] <pat123> merci
[09:17] <Pikkachu> pfifo: how does that change the point
[09:17] <hroi> pfifo:  perhaps a more safe practice would be if I can filter both pid and command invocation for the process.... if that is actually possible.
[09:19] <pfifo> Pikkachu, I dont follow, is there something wrong with simply removing the software when your done with it?
[09:19] <thp_> hi! question re remote viewing, client end, it's not connecting, ip is per server end.  keeps on timing out. what might i be missing here?
[09:19] <Pikkachu> pfifo: you don't really mean removing "the software"
[09:20] <pfifo> Pikkachu, thats exactly what I mean, to "rollback" build-dep, simply remove what it installs
[09:20] <Pikkachu> pfifo: one application can be packaged as a single dummy package of dependencies which won't be tracked by purge but just autoremove or something else
[09:20] <greenit> hi, i have just watched a vid about ubuntu on the smartphone, and there was an interesting feature, where i want to know, if it alrdy exists in ubuntu: he said that the environment on the phone is able to run windows-applicatiosn (like mso) through a windows7-server where this service is running
[09:21] <greenit> is this feature alrdy in the ubuntu-desktop?
[09:21] <Pikkachu> pfifo: why you repeat yourself and ignore my points? you're not even able to implement what I said, so what are you trying to do? I don't ask for not knowing
[09:22] <llutz_> Pikkachu: its open source, feel free to package all those meta-dev-packages you need. the community will say thank you (maybe)
[09:22] <Pikkachu> llutz_: that doesn't invalidate the point, but you gave me an idea to workaround it
[09:23] <pfifo> daan4711, I use "setxkbmap dvorak" myself and switch back and forth as needed, perhaps that is what you need
[09:23] <llutz_> Pikkachu: i didn't say you're wrong. its just a thing nobody does yet
[09:23] <dyd> guys my network icon on the top right is no more visible
[09:23] <dyd> ubuntu 10.04
[09:24] <Pikkachu> llutz_: I haven't touched PPA stuff in LP but do you think a dummy package could be set up in the web by just picking up dependencies and pushing to the PPA?
[09:24] <soreau> dyd: Is nm-applet running?
[09:24] <Pikkachu> llutz_: but you didn't say I was right
[09:24] <llutz_> Pikkachu: i'm not sure but i don't see a reason why that shouldn't be possible
[09:25] <Pikkachu> llutz_: ok will check ppas maybe
[09:25] <dyd> soreau, have no idea, it's the default ubuntu network icon where you can see wireless, eth etc
[09:25] <greenit> does any1 know if it is possible to run windows-applications in ubuntu 11.10 via a windows7-server? if you don't exactly know what i mean, i can give you a link to the video i watched :)
[09:25] <warm> Hi, I am using ubuntu 11.10, and my monitor was splitted to six parts,each displaying the same desktop. How can i fix that? thx very much.
[09:25] <llutz_> Pikkachu: i just showed you a way to go, i didn't say right/wrong. yes
[09:25] <soreau> dyd: Try alt+f2 then type nm-applet
[09:26] <Pikkachu> greenit: I don't want to watch it for some odd reason
[09:26] <dyd> soreau, i found that manage=false must be changed
[09:26] <Pikkachu> llutz_: ok thanks anyway
[09:26] <daan4711_> pfifo: I am able to use "setxkbmap -device 10 us" to set my usb-keyboard to us (colemak is default), but the ID of my usb-key changes sometimes. Is it possible to run this action every time I plug-in my usb keyboard?
[09:26] <dyd> soreau, and yes, it seems like an nm-applet
[09:27] <carpediembaby> hi. i mount a fat32 drive and it is mounted as read only. how can i fix it? also, the permissions are set for root
[09:27] <dyd> soreau, i edited th enm-system-settings.conf with managed=true but as i restart network it says WARNING: ifup -a is disabled in favour of NetworkManager.
[09:27] <soreau> dyd: well you want NetworkManager and nm-applet running
[09:27] <carpediembaby> i mount it like: "/dev/sda6 /media/DATA vfat auto" in fstab
[09:27] <dyd> soreau, yes, how to remove that ifup thing
[09:28] <soreau> dyd: Check to see if nm-applet is running with this command: ps ax|grep nm-applet|grep -v grep
[09:28] <pfifo> daan4711_, You can write a udev rule to setup usb devices when you plug them in
[09:28] <dyd> soreau, 1328 ? S 0:00 nm-applet --sm-disable
[09:29] <llutz_> carpediembaby: man mount (uid/gid/umask options)
[09:29] <soreau> dyd: ok its running so try restarting it with this: killall nm-applet; nm-applet & disown
[09:29] <daan4711_> pfifo: Ok, I'll find that out, does udev also work in the loginscreen and tty's?
[09:30] <novatax> dyd : can you connect to the internet?
[09:30] <dyd> soreau, i rebooted
[09:30] <dyd> novatax, the problem is on another computer
[09:30] <dyd> novatax, a laptop
[09:30] <soreau> dyd: Maybe you just need to add Notification Area to your panel then
[09:30] <dyd> novatax, and no, i can't connect
[09:30] <dyd> soreau, reboot worked
[09:31] <pfifo> daan4711_, udev is a system service so it always works, I think you mean your keyboard, and that depends on how you set it up
[09:31] <dyd> novatax, soreau, thank you, now it's fine
[09:31] <warm> carpediembaby, if you want that partition to be writable, you can replace auto with defaults.
[09:31] <novatax> don't mention it
[09:31] <Pikkachu> for who asked about ps, ps aux | awk -F ' ' '{ print $4; }' or something like
[09:31] <soreau> dyd: cool
[09:32] <dyd> i'm in an university, and we have .p12 certificates to use the wifi network, how can i install this?
[09:32] <llutz_> warm: "defaults" won't mount vfat user-rw
[09:33] <mister2> is there a way to run a program that has a gui without it? it pops up a little notification in a new window when it's minimized. i want the window that pops up, but i'd like to have the program run all the time without being around. small screen size and all that
[09:33] <mister2> it's java based if that helps
[09:34] <warm> llutz, oh, I am using  ntfs, that works. sorry for the mistake.
[09:34] <carpediembaby> warm: i replaced with defaults, unmounted/remounted and it still has permissions like: drwxr-xr-x with root user
[09:34] <chown_> hey guys, im having some troubble here. I did changed my /etc/fstab and its working well, it is mouting up at boot. The thing is when i open myfile browser, it has 2 categories: Devices and Computer. Under Computer it shows all my mounts that i did unter fstab, the broblem is under the Devices it show all my mount again but not mounted
[09:35] <prooz> Where can i find PPA for 9.10 ?
[09:35] <pfifo> !ppa | prooz
[09:35] <warm> carpediembaby, sorry for the wrong guide, llutz  just points that out, it won't work for vfat.
[09:36] <pfifo> !9.10 | prooz, also
[09:36] <rurufufuss> I seem to have installed gcc/g++ 4.6, but gcc --version is still 4.4. how do I fix this?
[09:37] <klawd> how can i stop ubuntu from overwriting my resolv.conf every time i boot?
[09:38] <llutz_> klawd: set your dns in networkmanager or dhclient.conf
[09:38] <pfifo> klawd, there are 3 options that work for me, 1. use static IP addresses, 2 edit /etc/network/interfaces and 3 set DNS addresses in network-manager gui
[09:38] <chown_> look whats happening to my mounts: http://uppix.net/6/b/5/f1016566a98895efc189aecda77ba.png
[09:39] <klawd> eh
[09:39] <klawd> hm
[09:39] <wookienz> can someone tell me the difference between oneric kernel and  precise kernel?
[09:39] <klawd> it kinda sucks that ubunuts gui stuff overwrites the changes i make on the console in the first place
[09:39] <crizzy> linux 3.0 vs 3.2
[09:39] <crizzy> :)
[09:39] <llutz_> klawd: /etc/resolv.conf isn't meant to be edited manually
[09:39] <carpediembaby> llutz_: is this okay: "/dev/sda6 /media/DATA vfat -o rw,auto" i don't really know how this works
[09:40] <klawd> llutz_: i see
[09:40] <pfifo> klawd, theres no gui involved in the overwriting, dhcpclient overwrites it
[09:40] <llutz_> carpediembaby: read "man mount" about uid/gid/umask options
[09:40] <klawd> aye, thanks
[09:40] <dhruvasagar> klawd: what exactly do yo uwant to achieve ?
[09:41] <klawd> dhruvasagar: add another dns server to my resolving
[09:41] <dhruvasagar> klawd: I do that, all you need to do is add a pre dns server mapping
[09:41] <klawd> where?
[09:41] <llutz_> klawd: how do you configure your network, using /etc/network/interfaces or networkmanager?
[09:42] <klawd> network/interfaces. i just use dhcp right now though
[09:43] <llutz_> klawd: edit dhclient.conf, add "prepend domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>;"
[09:43] <skyzer> hi all
[09:43] <ch33z> llutz
[09:43] <klawd> aye, thanks
[09:43] <ch33z> pm me
[09:43] <ch33z> i can help you allthe way through
[09:43] <klawd> is there append as well?
[09:43] <llutz_> klawd: replace with your preferred dns
[09:43] <dhruvasagar> klawd: edit /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf file and add a prepend domain-name-server
[09:44] <ch33z> llutz if you need help pm me
[09:44] <skyzer> anyone can help me set up personal vpn on ubuntu
[09:44] <wookienz> skyzer, openvpn
[09:44] <ch33z> i can skyzer
[09:44] <llutz_> ch33z: sure, i will
[09:44] <llutz_> ...
[09:44] <dhruvasagar> klawd: you can add multiple entries separated by ','
[09:44] <pfifo> llutz_, lol!
[09:45] <skyzer> any link for tutorial.easy to understand ?
[09:45] <prooz> pfifo: Thank you.
[09:45] <klawd> thank you guys
[09:45] <wookienz> skyzer, nothing on hand...google is always your friend.
[09:46] <skyzer> :) thank frenz if i dont understand i will look up for up
[09:46] <llutz_> skyzer: look at openVPN.org, they have easy tutorials
[09:46] <KrisDouglas> Hello, when we connect to our servers from a KCom line in Hull the connection hangs if we try to run LS or anything that has a largish output. Any thoughts on the cause of this?
[09:46] <skyzer> ok lutz..tq
[09:46] <KrisDouglas> The servers work and respond perfectly from everywhere else.
[09:46] <moogz> hi all, i'd like to have a persistent netcat spawned shell attached to a socket upon bootup (in a secure test environment) what's the best way to achieve this?
[09:47] <skorket> I'm not sure if this is an ubuntu problem or an arduino problem (I've also asked the question on #arduino) but I'm having trouble programming my Duemilanuve arduino compatible board.  It's giving me 'avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not responding' when I try and program it.  From a brief look on forums they suggest a misconfigured something or other having to do with the USB port.  Do you guys have any suggestions on ways to deb
[09:47] <skorket> ug this?  I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric).
[09:47] <recognosco> llutz_: why would say /etc/resolv.conf is not meant to be edited manually? if anyone feels like it, they should, by all means, edit it ;)
[09:47] <pfifo> moogz, I would add a entry to /etc/rc.local
[09:48] <llutz_> recognosco: well and then they cry when it gets overwritten
[09:48] <llutz_> recognosco: there are better means to setup dns than changing that file directly
[09:48] <moogz> aha, thanks pfifo.  this is the line of script i'm intending to use: while true; do nc -lp 23 -e /bin/bash  ; done & - do i need the &? and is there a more elegant way to have it respawn upon connection close?
[09:49] <chown_> how to fix this duplicated  mount points?: http://uppix.net/6/b/5/f1016566a98895efc189aecda77ba.png
[09:49] <recognosco> llutz_: then you can over-overwrite it with a cronjob perhaps?
[09:49] <llutz_> recognosco: bad hacks
[09:49] <llutz_> recognosco: just do it "right", no need for hacks
[09:49] <pfifo> moogz, you could also make an upstart job if your up to it, upstart will allow you to respawn jobs
[09:50] <moogz> would the while hack work, d'ya think?  this is the first time i've encountered the upstart aspect of rc scripts, so i think i'd like whatever's easiest and most reliable
[09:50] <Seryth> Hey all. I'm trying to play a DVD via vlc, but when I go to open disc, nothing happens. I think this is because it's trying to use /dev/dvd, when my dvd is actually in /media/dvd_title. What can I do? I tried pointing vlc at /media/dvd_title, but nothing happens (again!). What can I do?
[09:51] <pfifo> moogz, yes the while loop will work, or atleast it appears that it will, make sure you dont let rc.local enter an infinate loop
[09:51] <recognosco> llutz_: tell me more about "right", i like to learn :)
[09:52] <pfifo> moogz, it may be better to make a shell script and then run it in rc.local "myscript.sh &"
[09:53] <recognosco> pfifo: got to build 4.7 finally :-D
