[10:12] <speedy_> ya I could do that but would rather do it directly on Ubuntu but I have searched no luck tool does not exist maybe some programmers will make such tool
[10:13] <ardchoille> speedy_: check your PM
[10:16] <ljsoftnet> Jordan_U is there an alternative to adobe flash?
[10:17] <oliver_> Help needed: I want simply to get the output in a file. But when I use bmon -o ascii > file.txt, the file stays empty :( any Ideas?
[10:17] <juk> !info gnash
[10:17] <stoney_001> Hi there. I have a USB storage device sometimes attached to my machine and want it to automount when present. Upon bootup if it isn't present then I get a 'Press S to skip mount or M for manual recovery'. Any way to prevent this behaviour so that I don't have to interactively press 'S' ?
[10:17] <llutz_> oliver_: bmon -o ascii &> file.txt
[10:17] <llutz_> oliver_: bmon -o ascii > file.txt 2>&1         if not using bash
[10:18] <Jordan_U> ljsoftnet: For some sites HTML5 video, like http://youtube.com/html5
[10:18] <ljsoftnet> Jordan_U how about gnash, is it the same with adobe flash?
[10:21] <speedy_> Everyone Sleeping :)
[10:22] <clu3> juk, i'm in the ubuntu@ubuntu terminal now (from the live CD)
[10:22] <Kpullotron> is it better ubuntu than windows 7?
[10:22] <Jordan_U> ljsoftnet: It's not very usable yet unfortunately.
[10:22] <clu3> what should i do?
[10:22] <ljsoftnet> Jordan_U ok
[10:22] <Kpullotron> i'm thinking about migrating to ubuntu
[10:23] <juk> clu3: sing? sorry im not mind reader
[10:23] <YankDownUnder> I migrate heaps of folks to Ubuntu from Microsoft. They're mostly quite happy with the change.
[10:23] <Jordan_U> !best | Kpullotron
[10:23] <Kpullotron> ubuntu is it good for a shop?
[10:23] <Kpullotron> i mean it has all the needed software
[10:23] <Kpullotron> ?
[10:23] <YankDownUnder> Kpullotron, For what? Using POS? Using accounting? Inventory?
[10:23] <Kpullotron> yes
[10:24] <YankDownUnder> Ok...here's the go: there are heaps of POS programs, inventory programs and accounting programs - for many different types of "stores" - just a matter of making a list of what you're going to need, how it suits you, and that's all she wrote.
[10:24] <adub> ok i just install ubuntu 10.10 and i have a screen full of just big blocks of pixels....ctrl alt backspace or ctrl alt f1 does not kick me to a prompt this does this on live distro i had to use the alternate to install if i use a boot disk to just get a shell could i dmesg to tell what the hell is going on
[10:25] <adub> i wouldnt think so since im using a disk to boot to a prompt but what do i know
[10:25] <clu3> juk, my computer got error after the screen saver? heh, you might have forgotten, we just talked a few mins ago
[10:25] <adub> is there anyway to troubleshoot this
[10:25] <juk> clu3: ah
[10:26] <speedy_> its not that one OS better than the other  its a choice of prefernces and the ease of customizing to the users taste so Ubuntu or any Linux can be modified...  Windows cannot at least at the heart of the os make sense dunno
[10:26] <juk> speedy_: you gonna be baned
[10:27] <speedy_> ?
[10:28] <speedy_> ?
[10:30] <adub> ok i just install ubuntu 10.10 and i have a screen full of just big blocks of pixels....ctrl alt backspace or ctrl alt f1 does not kick me to a prompt this does this on live distro i had to use the alternate to install if i use a boot disk to just get a shell could i dmesg to tell what the hell is going on
[10:30] <adub> is there anyway to troubleshoot this
[10:30] <juk> clu3: what error exactly?
[10:30] <llutz_> speedy_: most linux-freaks would call your (correct) statement "blasphemy" :)
[10:30] <clu3> target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init
[10:30] <clu3> No init found try passing init = bootarg
[10:30] <clu3> juk, i tried the live CD, but i can only get to the terminal by pressing Ctrl Alt F1. The GUI doesn't seem to load
[10:31] <clu3> and i am not sure what do to from the terminal
[10:32] <YankDownUnder> clu3, Have you checked the CD to make sure it's not corrupted?
[10:32] <juk> clu3: backup files first i'd do
[10:32] <SilentDis> hello, How do I force Network manager to use a specific usb device for EVDO?  I'm able to connect fine with ppp because I can force it to use /dev/ttyUSB2
[10:33] <Glutsch> lo
[10:33] <clu3> juk, thanks. YankDownUnder i'm pretty sure it is
[10:33] <hilarie> Anyone here play with wine much?
[10:33] <ikonia> hilarie: guys in #winehq do
[10:33] <hilarie> ty
[10:33] <clu3> YankDownUnder, i mean it is OK, not corrupted
[10:34] <jjp1789> hilarie: do you mean play (tweak) or play (games) ?
[10:34] <thrope> trying to upgrade a 10.4 install to 10.10 - receive an error "an unresolvable problem occurred... Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages"... any idea on how to fix this?
[10:34] <thrope> is there a log somewhere i can see which packages caused it
[10:35] <YankDownUnder> clu3, If you can at least login to the console, then at least you're getting somewhere. When you're booting, have you tried to just hit enter and read some of the parameters that you can pass the kernel prior to booting into the system to see if that might help you get some type of graphical interface?
[10:37] <clu3> YankDownUnder, when i switch to terminal (ctrl + alt + F1) i'm presented with ubuntu@ubuntu. It doesn't ask me to login.  If booting without the live CD, i haven't tried what you said yet..
[10:37] <YankDownUnder> clu3, Give it a go. There are several params that can be passed to the kernel to possibly get you to a graphical desktop mate.
[10:38] <clu3> YankDownUnder, you mean when booting without the CD, right?
[10:38] <speedy_> Apologies to whom I offended on previous post it was not meant to be
[10:38] <YankDownUnder> Guest9721, Mate, it's truly NOT a good idea to login to IRC as root mate. Truly. Very bad, and very bad taste.
[10:38] <pasadefrance> hi there :)
[10:38] <YankDownUnder> clu3, When booting WITH the CD - so you can troubleshoot the issue.
[10:39] <clu3> i see, thanks YankDownUnder
[10:39] <liuxidong> d
[10:40] <adub> yankdownunder i cant
[10:40] <YankDownUnder> adub, Eh?
[10:40] <Guest9721> hi all
[10:40] <adub> my screeen is just full of blocky pixels and i cant ctrl alt f1 or backspace to get a prompt i dont think if i use any boot disk that dmesg will net me anything
[10:41] <adub> ya my video is jacked
[10:41] <adub> i seen on a forum where others where reporting the same problem but some could disable onboard video people that have my graphics card
[10:41] <YankDownUnder> Guest9721, Please, do NOT login to IRC as the root user. It's extremely dangerous, and it's extremely bad form.
[10:41] <clu3> YankDownUnder, in deed, i think it's the CD problem, I just cleaned it ( a little more) and now i'm in the live CD :)
[10:41] <adub> i have no onboard video
[10:41] <clu3> GUI interface i mean
[10:41] <brontosaurusrex> i need a life without adobe.
[10:41] <YankDownUnder> adub, Have you tried disabling the onboard graphics card in your BIOS?
[10:42] <adub> i do not have onboard graphics
[10:42] <YankDownUnder> clu3, Coolbeans mate.
[10:42] <YankDownUnder> adub, What do ya got?
[10:42] <adub> geforce gt 240 works fine with 10.04
[10:42] <speedy_> adub, video card issue try anoter system if available and repeat your process on that machine
[10:42] <adub> but even tried just updating
[10:42] <adub> speedy_ so your saying just dont use 10.10
[10:43] <YankDownUnder> adub, What is the graphics driver you're using?
[10:43] <speedy_> adub have access to anoher video card
[10:43] <adub> speedy_ no i do not
[10:43] <padi999> I have the visual effects enabled in ubuntu but I can't figure out where the settings are! Like keyboardshortcuts for changing wobbly windows style etc.
[10:43] <adub> so 10.10 has a lot of issues with gt 240 for some reason
[10:43] <adub> speedy_ i know you know your stuff i see you in here often  bro
[10:44] <YankDownUnder> adub, If you're using an NVidia card, you might want to try running "sudo jockey-gtk" - let the system try to determine the best driver for your card - let it do it's thing, reboot after it's done - see what you get...
[10:44] <speedy_> no i ran just the live DVD of natty and its works live fine and the previous versions as well I use now Ultimate Edtion
[10:44] <adub> yankdownunder here is the thing i can not get a prompt man to troubleshoot
[10:44] <speedy_> Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is my box
[10:44] <clu3> YankDownUnder, heh, but i'm not sure what do do next :) . I can see the harddisk but can't mount it
[10:44] <YankDownUnder> adub, So you can't even get to a console login?
[10:45] <adub> no
[10:45] <adub> no console nothing just a bunch of pixels
[10:45] <padi999> lucid lynx: Where are the compiz/fusion settings?
[10:45] <YankDownUnder> clu3, PLACES => Whatever drive ?
[10:45] <adub> and it is as if the system is locked up
[10:45] <adub> speedy_ you have a gt 240 ?
[10:45] <YankDownUnder> adub, Have you looked through the forums on how to boot to a liveCD and then chroot to the local disk?
[10:46] <adub> the 10.10 will not boot to a live disk the same thing happens big pixels then locks up
[10:46] <clu3> YankDownUnder, yep, it doesn't response. When i try again. "Dbus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolueMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending"
[10:46] <speedy_> adub is the pixels all over or half the screen no prompt? try typing in blind if u know there is a console there
[10:47] <YankDownUnder> clu3, Sounds to me like the disk might be dirtier than you think - or the drive itself needs a bit of a cleaning....
[10:47] <adub> what do you recommend i type
[10:47] <ArunC> Hi, I'm trying to build a shared object from a static lib. I use g++ -static option, when I get this error: http://codepad.org/cQRg9w87
[10:47] <adub> just pass
[10:47] <speedy_> adub nope
[10:47] <juk> ArunC: take it to #programming
[10:48] <padi999> where can I find the compiz/fusion settings in lucid?
[10:48] <ArunC> juk: Thanks
[10:48] <YankDownUnder> adub, Not sure mate...if I had time to look through the forums for both Ubuntu and Debian, I'd do so...but working...
[10:48] <osmosis_paul> I want create a folder in case that does not exist yet, i looking in google and i found that line, but does not work to me.  if [[ ! -e $APACHE_BACKUP ]]; then
[10:48] <osmosis_paul> told me  "[[: not found
[10:48] <osmosis_paul> "
[10:48] <nistha> hi all
[10:48] <osmosis_paul> of course i close the loop fi
[10:49] <kingofthething> hey on of my external hard drives isnt showing up on my desktop after it is mounted, it used to show up but now it doesnt, any help?
[10:49] <clu3> YankDownUnder, i can still open other applications like openoffice or play some games there, only they run quite slow
[10:50] <YankDownUnder> clu3, Yes, they'll run slow - if the graphics driver - amongst other things - isn't the right driver, then yeah, everything is going to crawl...
[10:50] <padi999> exit
[10:50] <padi999> exit
[10:51] <clu3> YankDownUnder, yes, I had problem with the drivers on this new Toshiba lap model when i installed Ubuntu a few months ago. Had to add extra repo.
[10:51] <adub> just oging to go  back to 10.04 and troubleshoot the other hardware issues im having like no sound for whatever stupid reason
[10:51] <YankDownUnder> clu3, Hmmm...well, that tells all, doesn't it? :)
[10:51] <clu3> YankDownUnder, somebody suggest to run "e2fsck -f -y -v /dev/sda2" on ubuntuforms. should i try
[10:51] <YankDownUnder> adub, Sometimes, when you're having issues with ONE driver, other bits just ain't going to work, either.
[10:52] <YankDownUnder> clu3, Won't hurt.
[10:52] <clu3> I have some important data not yet backed up
[10:53] <netzro> he
[10:53] <kingofthething> i have an external hard drive connected and it recognized and accessible but it is not showing up on my desktop, any ideas how to fix that?
[10:55] <Ve2> Ok so.
[10:55] <Ve2> I have a fakeraid array & ubuntu server installed.
[10:55] <Ve2> I need to mount an NTFS partition on the array
[10:55] <Ve2> Will I break everything?
[10:55] <Ve2> Because I cannot afford to lose the data and I cannot back it up. :)
[10:57] <rumpe1> Ve2, why can't you back it up?
[10:57] <Ve2> It's 2TB
[10:57] <Ve2> I don't have a 2TB disk to back up to.
[10:57] <clu3> when I run e2fsck from my live CD terminal, i got this error: "Dvice or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda. Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?"
[10:57] <Ve2> Seems to have mounted ok
[10:57] <clu3> what can i do?
[10:57] <speedy_> question:  What or were is the Splash Screen on boot located in system can it be changed? u know like the animated splash on boot or just as desktops loads. Like othere Linux Versions to name a couple Ultimate Edtion the nice liquid like loge for UE, and GnackTrackR4 has nice splash as well just like to add my own
[10:57] <rumpe1> Ve2, should be the first thing to do before doing anything else
[10:57] <Ve2> Fingers crossed it doesn't erase all my data
[10:58] <YankDownUnder> clu3, sudo e2fsck => you have to be root user (or have the rights) to do that.
[10:58] <Ve2> Well
[10:58] <Ve2> I will be backing up all the data
[10:58] <rumpe1> Ve2, otherwise you "can afford" to loose everything :>
[10:58] <llutz_> clu3: you don't want to fsck  /dev/sda, use a partition like /dev/sdaX
[10:58] <Ve2> Yeah I know.
[10:58] <clu3> YankDownUnder, i was already under sudo
[10:58] <Ve2> I am getting a 2TB disk like, tomorrow
[10:58] <rumpe1> Ve2, then wait
[10:58] <Ve2> but I want to format it ext4 & not use NTFS
[10:58] <Ve2> So I need to mount it in ubuntu anyway
[10:58] <Ve2> Hopefully everything will be cool.
[10:59] <rumpe1> Ve2, mount it read-only and there shouldn't be any problem
[10:59] <kingofthething> i have an external hard drive connected and it recognized and accessible but it is not showing up on my desktop, any ideas how to fix that?
[10:59] <clu3> llutz_, what are those sda1, sda2, sda5  I have? Which one should i try?
[10:59] <Ve2> good iea.
[10:59] <YankDownUnder> clu3, Right...is the partition you're trying to fsck ext2?
[10:59] <clu3> it ext4 YankDownUnder
[10:59] <Ve2> What is the flag for that again?
[10:59] <clu3> YankDownUnder,  sorry, wait..
[10:59] <llutz_> clu3: /dev/sda is the drive, /dev/sda1.... are the partitions. you need to know which partition holds the filesystem you want to check
[10:59] <Ve2> -o ro?
[11:00] <YankDownUnder> clu3, Then use ext4.fsck /dev/sdXX
[11:00] <rumpe1> Ve2, yeah... or just -r
[11:00] <Ve2> ta
[11:00] <clu3> yep,  it seems ext4 for sda1 when i use sudo gparted
[11:00] <YankDownUnder> Ve2, Must be a pom or an Aussie...
[11:01] <clu3> llutz_, i see, thanks , it must be sda1 then
[11:01] <Ve2> What?
[11:01] <YankDownUnder> Ve2, Where ya live?
[11:01] <Ve2> Au.
[11:01] <YankDownUnder> Ve2, Yeppers...s'what I thought...
[11:01] <netzro> #c0c0n2010
[11:01] <rumpe1> austria?
[11:02] <YankDownUnder> rumpe1, Yeah, mate. Austria. Heaps of wombats in Austria.
[11:02] <clu3> I still get the same error as sda . "...busy while trying to open /dev/sda1"
[11:02] <suigeneris> hmm, there's a conflict on banshee.fm. the front page says iPhones can be synced, the user manual says banshee supports most smartphones with the notable exception of iPhone, iPad etc.
[11:03] <YankDownUnder> clu3, Then something is trying to read the partition already - didn't you say just a bit earlier that you were in the midst of trying to mount the drive?
[11:06] <Ve2> sweeeet
[11:06] <Ve2> lol
[11:06] <Ve2> libschrodinger?
[11:07] <Ve2> Quantum physics lib?
[11:07] <rumpe1> Ve2, it's used for lolcats :>
[11:07] <YankDownUnder> Ve2, Not to mention: /usr/lib/libschrodingerscat
[11:07] <Ve2> oh dear
[11:08] <Ve2> WHAT IS THIS DOING
[11:08] <Ve2> Ok
[11:08] <tensorpudding> libschroedinger is for the dirac video codec
[11:08] <FloodBot3> Ve2: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:08] <Ve2> I am used to rhel, et c.
[11:08] <Ve2> How do I configure static ips in ubu server?
[11:08] <rumpe1> Ve2, dhcpd-config?
[11:09] <Ve2> ?
[11:09] <YankDownUnder> Ve2, /etc/network/interfaces
[11:09] <Ve2> Yeah
[11:09] <Ve2> what is with the wierd config file?
[11:09] <rumpe1> Ve2, nevermind... didn't understand what you meant exactly
[11:10] <YankDownUnder> Um...weird? I rather like a simple config like the /etc/network/interfaces - easy for at least me to understand...
[11:10] <Ve2> I am used to the ifcfg files
[11:10] <Pumpkin-> it is literally that you are used to them though, they both do the same thing
[11:10] <Ve2> :/
[11:10] <Ve2> This one looks totally different
[11:11] <Pumpkin-> I will be honest, the fact it doesn't come with a bunch of examples in it commented out is a little irritating
[11:11] <YankDownUnder> I rather like just editing the one, restarting the network, and VOILA! S'all good and up and running happy as Larry...
[11:11] <Ve2> found some stuff on the net
[11:11] <Pumpkin-> but google should fix that
[11:11] <YankDownUnder> Google fixes everything...except for breakfast.
[11:12] <Pumpkin-> if you work for google, they even do that
[11:12] <clu3> sorry YankDownUnder my computer was hanging. yes, I tried to browse the partition earlier using the File Browser.  I'm using a slapd.conf instead of slapd.d/ style and I keep getting invalid credentials when trying an ldap search (ldapsearch includes -D cn=Manager,dc=my,dc=domain -y /etc/ldap.secret -x )
[11:13] <YankDownUnder> clu3, Ah...roger that...
[11:13] <clu3> YankDownUnder, i guess i have to restart this live CD ?
[11:14] <YankDownUnder> clu3, Sorry to say, but sounds like it mate.
[11:14] <Ve2> lol
[11:14] <Ve2> Accidentally set the server to have the same ip as the box I was logged into it as.
[11:14] <Ve2> Guess how that went...
[11:15] <YankDownUnder> Ve2, If I get the right answer, you're buying me a slab of VB, right? :)
[11:15] <Ve2> :/
[11:15] <Ve2> You would seriously drink VB?
[11:15] <Ve2> :\
[11:15] <Ve2> You MUST be american.
[11:16] <YankDownUnder> Ve2, Um...well, quite some years an expat...but yeah...
[11:16] <Ve2> :/
[11:16] <twitch> !enter | Ve2
[11:16] <Ve2> I'm not. :(
[11:16] <ubuntu_> I'm trying to enlarge my Windows 7 partition from a live CD, but I can't expand it to the right. Here is a screenshot: http://i55.tinypic.com/2vbvkn8.png
[11:17] <YankDownUnder> Ve2, However, if someone was to purchase some great dark beers from up in Sydney, well, then I'd have to take that instead, eh?
[11:17] <concon> ubuntu_: I'm going to give you a hint: There's no space to expand to
[11:17] <jjp1789> Yank: What's VB btw ?
[11:18] <ubuntu_> concon: theres 34.69 GiB of unallocated space
[11:18] <satya> to authenticate ldap server, i just install the libnss-ldap package.
[11:18] <YankDownUnder> jjp1789, Victoria Bitters (beer)
[11:18] <ethanol> is it a common bug that often when ubuntu asks me to authenticate, for example when adding or removing software through the software center, the authentication dialog gets stuck after a succesful password entry (I have to click the X to get it to close)
[11:18] <satya> is it enough to connect to the ldap server?
[11:19] <juk> basically difference here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCdRecovery and here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ChrootRecovery is '-o bind' in last, what for that last?
[11:19] <concon> ubuntu_: There's 34.69GB of unallocated space on a logical block
[11:19] <ubuntu_> concon: I don't get what you mean
[11:19] <Oer> ethanol no, this is normal.
[11:19] <Oer> ethanol, if it get stuck, that is not normal.
[11:19] <satya> ubuntu to authenticate ldap server, i just install the libnss-ldap package.
[11:19] <ethanol> well normal would be that it closes automatically, which it does only like 1/4th of all cases
[11:20] <satya> ubuntu: to authenticate ldap server, i just install the libnss-ldap package.
[11:20] <jjp1789> satya: na, you need ldap-auth-client or anything to eventually have libpam-ldap
[11:20] <ubuntu_> I'm trying to enlarge my Windows 7 partition from a live CD, but I can't expand it to the right. Here is a screenshot: http://i55.tinypic.com/2vbvkn8.png
[11:21] <concon> ubuntu_: You see that extended sda3, you need to shrink that one first, if possible
[11:21] <ubuntu_> concon: It does not give me the option to resize when I right click on it
[11:22] <satya> jjp1789: auth-client-confiog  is in the libnss-ldap package only
[11:22] <concon> Then you'll need to delete, that's the negative side of logical partitions
[11:22] <satya> jjp1789: auth-client-config  is in the libnss-ldap package only
[11:22] <ubuntu_> concon: delete what?
[11:22] <concon> If you delete it you'll delete sda5 as well
[11:23] <ubuntu_> I'm trying to enlarge my Windows 7 partition from a live CD, but I can't expand it to the right. Here is a screenshot: http://i55.tinypic.com/2vbvkn8.png
[11:23] <satya> jjp1789: it is already installed
[11:23] <silverlightning> hi
[11:23] <concon> That extended partition, it's a logical block so you can make logical partitions, there's a limit to 4 primary partitions to 1 drive, so windows tend to make logical partitions if you have more than 1
[11:23] <satya> silverlightning: hi
[11:23] <silverlightning> how are you today
[11:24] <concon> And stop re-posting your error
[11:24] <concon> Read the guidelines
[11:24] <silverlightning> I have been stressed out of my mind
[11:24] <silverlightning> up half the night and fiddeling with the computer
[11:24] <jjp1789> satya: ok (apt-cache search --full ldap-auth-client |grep Depends) yields: libpam-ldap, libnss-ldap
[11:25] <silverlightning> in desperation I installed Ubuntu on the entire harddrive
[11:25] <silverlightning> do you know anything about issues with the cooling fan?
[11:26] <Ubuntu-user> how to master ubuntu
 ?
[11:26] <silverlightning> it takes a life time of dedication
[11:26] <coz_> Ubuntu-user,  take it slow... hang out here... dont be afraid to ask questions
[11:27] <silverlightning> I have installed the latest version from scratch just now
[11:27] <delinquentme> so my OFF button on my tool bar is weirded out atm .. how do i fix this?
[11:28] <coz_> delinquentme,  "off" button?  you mean the circle t hingy
[11:28] <Ubuntu-user> coz_: every question?
[11:28] <satya> jjp1789: i cant connect to the ldap server
[11:28] <silverlightning> there is an appliction for that coz
[11:28] <delinquentme> coz_, yeah
[11:28] <coz_> Ubuntu-user,  if you have a question ask it... cant hurt
[11:28] <jjp1789> satya: have a look on pam-auth-update and / or auth-client-config. Beware openldap tools (ldapsearch...) and libpam-ldap may use slightly different ldap.conf files
[11:28] <coz_> delinquentme,  right click the panel   Add to panel   look for    Indicator applet session
[11:28] <SimonPHOENIX> i have 2 disks, how to make raid1 ?

[11:30] <Slapcake> Hi, I'm trying to follow the LDAP tutorial at ubuntu-help (https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html) but it says I have insufficient access when I try to add the frontend, does anyone know how I can fix that?
[11:30] <clu3> YankDownUnder, i guess i'm dead. Can't fsck the partition, it's still busy while there's no mount process running
[11:30] <satya> jjp1789: if i type sudo auth-client-config, it says profile is required
[11:30] <Walex> SimonPHOENIX: there are very many HOWTOs with examples on that, For example the original RAID HOWTO
[11:31] <Ubuntu-user> how to add users using command line
[11:31] <coz_> Slapcake,  you are using "sudo"  for the commands   ... yes?
[11:31] <Walex> Ubuntu-user: 'man useradd'
[11:31] <arand> Ubuntu-user: adduser
[11:31] <silverlightning> what are the recommended driver packages for the latest verson of ubuntu?
[11:31] <Slapcake> coz_: yes
[11:31] <jjp1789> satya: look in /etc/auth-client-config and man auth-client-config
[11:31] <coz_> Slapcake,  mm then I am not sure
[11:32] <coz_> silverlightning,  which drivers?
[11:32] <ruan> silverlightning: the latest drivers?
[11:32] <Slapcake> coz_: the insufficient access error is an ldap error, not a uid error
[11:32] <coz_> Slapcake,  oh! mm  well... if no one here can answer  you might also want to go to t he ##linux channel
[11:32] <jjp1789> slapcake: are you using simple bind ?
[11:32] <silverlightning> there used to be a package to make dvds play, and youtube videos
[11:33] <ruan> i cant boot ubuntu off of my hard drive :/
[11:33] <kingofthething> i really think i have a simple problem, can someone help me?
[11:33] <Slapcake> jjp1789: I don't know - I'm following the tutorial
[11:33] <silverlightning> ruan, after installation?
[11:33] <eXpLoD> how can i make my own build of ubuntu which has some packages already installed in an .iso format?
[11:33] <Walex> silverlightning: checked Medibuntu
[11:33] <bazhang> !remaster > eXpLoD
[11:33] <Walex> eXpLoD: there is an howto on the Ubuntu wiki on that
[11:33] <ruan> silverlightning: yes, after installation
[11:34] <shomon> what is the best way to get ie7 or 8 working in ubuntu?
[11:34] <silverlightning> walex, is it the same as two years ago?
[11:34] <Walex> ruan: there is recovery mode
[11:34] <ruan> walex: i cant boot it
[11:34] <Ubuntu-user> how to change network settings using command line?
[11:34] <ruan> walex: it works using livecd, but it wont boot otherwise
[11:34] <silverlightning> ruan, just now?
[11:34] <Walex> ruan: you need to boot an ubuntu CD/DVD in recovery mode
[11:34] <shomon> depends on the network settings Ubuntu-user
[11:34] <viliny> hey guys, i installed nvidia drivers from the nvidia site with the .run installator. my x now fails to start because the driver and the kernel module mismatch in version numbers. GCC problem for not compiling module or something? regardless, how can i rollback or choose to use another driver instead so i can get to the desktop again
[11:34] <ruan> walex: recovery mode?
[11:34] <kingofthething> i have two extenal hard drives connected one is showing up on my desktop and one isnt, both are working fine and accessible but the just isnt showing up on my desktop when it is mounted
[11:34] <Walex> ruan: there is a relevant HOWTO on the wiki too
[11:35] <ruan> walex i didnt get any option for recovery
[11:35] <Walex> ruan: "rescue" mode
[11:35] <ruan> walex: how? i cant boot ubuntu at all
[11:35] <Ubuntu-user> shomon: Giving an ip,Static ip, internet sharing related stuff?
[11:35] <silverlightning> ruan, if it is very recently, the computer might have a few hickups before it gets used to ubuntu, like loud beeps and reluctant booting
[11:35] <jjp1789> ubuntu-user: good question; I personaly stop network-manager and kill dhcp client before using ifconfig, route and editing resolv.conf
[11:36] <mar> Hi. Can I somehow checked which files have changed in the last hour or so?
[11:36] <ruan> silverlightning: it hasnt made a first boot yet
[11:36] <shomon> ah okay Ubuntu-user -  ifconfig is the command you want
[11:36] <Walex> ruan: you have to boot the liveCD and go into rescue mode. I'll do a search fro you on a link
[11:36] <ruan> walex: i can only "try" ubuntu and install it
[11:36] <ruan> walex: no other options
[11:36] <shomon> and to restart or change this, all the services that start by default are in /etc/init.d/
[11:37] <Ve2> Right.
[11:37] <Ve2> So.
[11:37] <shomon> including one called network or networking I think
[11:37] <clu3> From my liveCD, when i fsck my parition, it keeps saying: "Device or resouce busy while trying to open /dev/sda1", what can i do ?
[11:37] <Ve2> bit torrent client that has a web interface for ubu server?
[11:37] <Ubuntu-user> thank shomon
[11:37] <kingofthething>  i have two extenal hard drives connected one is showing up on my desktop and one isnt, both are working fine and accessible but the just isnt showing up on my desktop when it is mounted
[11:37] <ruan> the problem is that i cant boot ubuntu at all
[11:38] <Walex> ruan: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-boot-ubuntu-linux-rescue-mode/
[11:38] <shomon> anyone know if wine or some other thing can run ie8 on ubuntu?
[11:38] <Walex> ruan: http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/system_administration_books/ubuntu_starter_guide/ch08.html
[11:38] <ruan> walex: i'll try it
[11:38] <Ve2> :/
[11:38] <bazhang> shomon, check appdb and /join #winehq
[11:38] <shomon> thanks bazhang
[11:38] <Walex> shomon: I think that Crossover can run various versions of IE, and it is a neatly packaged version of Wine
[11:38] <bazhang> !appdb > shomon
[11:40] <ruan> walex: i cant boot at all,
[11:40] <ruan> walex: grub isnt showing up, it just freezes at boot, as if there is no OS
[11:40] <Walex> ruan: you can run rescue/recovery mode from the installation CD.
[11:40] <Walex> ruan: then that allows you to reinstall GRUB
[11:40] <offsense1> anyone recommended empathy rather than pidgin?
[11:41] <tobier> offsense1: not really, I got rid of empathy
[11:41] <Walex> ruan: if the automatic rescue/recovery don't work, this is another and even more detailed approach: http://www.ubuntudoctor.com/content/blog/10/Boot-Install-Ubuntu-from-the-Grub-Rescue-Prompt
[11:41] <Ubuntu-user> how to list & kill process in ubuntu?
[11:41] <ruan> ubuntu-user: is the process visible?
[11:41] <Walex> ruan: oops I really meant this one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1581099
[11:41] <offsense1> tobier: so u prefer pidgin then?
[11:41] <Gnea> Ubuntu-user: ps command lists, kill and killall kills
[11:42] <tobier> offsense1: yes
[11:42] <Ubuntu-user> thanks
[11:42] <shomon> Ubuntu-user: also you can start a background process by running it followed by a &
[11:42] <Ubuntu-user> difference between kill and killall?
[11:42] <binawan> hallo guys...
[11:42] <tobier> Ubuntu-user: actually, IIRC kill politely asks a process to be killed, use kill -9 to force
[11:42] <shomon> kill needs a process number
[11:42] <Gnea> Ubuntu-user: man kill  and  man killall  tells it
[11:42] <shomon> but killall needs a name
[11:42] <ruan> walex: btw, im on livecd try mode at the moment
[11:43] <Ubuntu-user> oh thanks its pid and name thingy
[11:43] <Gnea> shomon: "teach a man how to fish, he eats on his own. give a man a fish, he expects more."
[11:43] <Ubuntu-user> thanks guys u are doing great job here
[11:43] <Gnea> cheers
[11:43] <ruan> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1581099
[11:43] <shomon> be careful with signals as well. kill -9 vs -1 or -15 a whole kettle of fish...
[11:43] <ruan> oops
[11:43] <shomon> ok sure thanks gnea
[11:43] <ruan> copy paste didnt work
[11:43] <Walex> ruan: also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#Recovery%20Using%20the%20Ubuntu%20Desktop/Live%20CD%20%28RECOMMENDED%29
[11:44] <ruan> /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?).
[11:44] <Walex> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto#Backup,%20Repairing%20and%20Reinstalling%20GRUB
[11:45] <Walex> the last link above advises going through a "fake" install, where you don't actually install, but the installer recreates the GRUB startup
[11:45] <ruan> this is complicated :/
[11:46] <Walex> ruan: it is indeed not that simple.
[11:46] <risperdalx> hi
[11:46] <risperdalx> how can i close mysql service at startup ubuntu
[11:46] <Walex> ruan: the issue is that most people just install one partition and one time GRUB and "it just works" and so nobody cares very much about the non-standard cases. Just like in MS-Windows.
[11:47] <ruan> walex: i tried installing it 3 times, once on a new partition, it never worked
[11:47] <Walex> risperdalx: you have to edit the relevant entry in '/etc/init/' or use 'update-rc.d' to edit the startup links
[11:47] <smegzor> Anyone else experienced this?  Starting today all of the Ubuntu computers in my house are unable to browse any websites or send/receive email using firefox and thunderbird.  Other web browsers work perfectly, but I have the same problem with email in Evolution.
[11:48] <Walex> ruan: that is very unusual, installation usually "just works", unless you have an odd disk layout.
[11:48] <ruan> walex: i've only got 2 hard drives
[11:48] <risperdalx> Walex, should i use update-rc.d mysql remove or disable ?
[11:49] <Walex> ruan: however I am an *extremely* experienced sysadm/programmer and at one point I could not boot Ubuntu LTS  10 after installing it and could not fix it, because the boot process has become too complicated and it was difficult even for me to figure out what had broken
[11:49] <Walex> risperdalx: 'disable', because 'remove' has the problem listed in the 'man' page.
[11:50] <Ubuntu-user> can i setup ftp server in ubuntu?
[11:50] <Walex> ubuntulog: very easily, use something like VsFTPd or ProFTPd
[11:51] <smegzor> I use the filezilla ftp server.  I either swear by it or swear at it.
[11:51] <Ubuntu-user> i am loving it ubuntu is super
[11:51] <risperdalx> Walex: i got an error
[11:51] <risperdalx> update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/mysql missing LSB information
[11:51] <risperdalx> update-rc.d: see <http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>
[11:51] <risperdalx>  System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/mysql do not exist.
[11:51] <FloodBot3> risperdalx: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[11:51] <jpds> risperdalx: That's not an error, that's a warning.
[11:52] <risperdalx> uhm i think it must be disabled now
[11:52] <risperdalx> thanks
[11:52] <Ubuntu-user> smegzor: what should i do... filezilla ?
[11:53] <Walex> risperdalx: but note that " System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/mysql do not exist" is perplexing
[11:53] <smegzor> Ubuntu-user: It works and isn't hard to set up.
[11:53] <viliny> hey guys, i installed nvidia drivers from the nvidia site with the .run installator. my x now fails to start because the driver and the kernel module mismatch in version numbers. GCC problem for not compiling module or something? regardless, how can i rollback or choose to use another driver instead so i can get to the desktop again
[11:53] <Ubuntu-user> smegzor: how to configure ?
[11:53] <Walex> risperdalx: because if there are no *start* links, why do you worry about it being started?
[11:53] <Ubuntu-user> procedure
[11:53] <ruan> im not going to try to install ubuntu till im 100% sure that its going to work
[11:53] <kevdog> Ubuntu-user- why not ssh server?
[11:53] <risperdalx> walex: i know its runing at startup
[11:53] <Walex> viliny: just run X reconfiguration
[11:54] <risperdalx> walex: because this ubuntu opening time is slowing
[11:54] <M-sprite> In mutt, which key is to tag a message as unread ？ the flag N ?
[11:54] <viliny> Walex: i think i did, but to no help... whats the command for that?
[11:54] <Ubuntu-user> ubuntu gave me real trouble with SDM for cisco router it never worked :(
[11:54] <smegzor> Ubuntu-user: It has a GUI and there should be plenty of guides on the internet.  Follow one of those.
[11:55] <Walex> viliny: also you can uninstall the nVidia package by rerunning the installer with the uninstallation option. You have to do that to clean up things.
[11:55] <viliny> Walex: Roger that
[11:56] <Walex> viliny: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-linux-how-to-reconfigure-x-windows-system-xorg-server/
[11:56] <viliny> thank you :)
[11:56] <ruan> im not gonna fix it if its broken from the start
[11:57] <viliny> ruan: whats up?
[11:57] <smegzor> ruan: I wasn't sure about Ubuntu, so I installed it and installed XP inside VirtualBox for anything that I couldn't do in Ubuntu (mainly work stuff).
[11:57] <ruan> viliny: ubuntu wont boot after install
[11:57] <viliny> ruan: any troubleshooting or possible causes visible?
[11:57] <rek> hi how can i install ubuntu ov
[11:57] <rek> er another ubuntu without deleting my files?
[11:57] <ruan> viliny: nope, it just does nothing at boot
[11:58] <bazhang> rek, have a seperate hom
[11:58] <viliny> rek: download cd-image from ubuntu site, burn it to a disk, boot your computer from that disk and then just choose to install ubuntu once you are on the livecd desktop
[11:58] <bazhang> !home | rek
[11:58] <viliny> lol, sorry...
[11:59] <smegzor> ruan: the last times I had a non-booting new ubuntu install I had an IDE drive somehow preventing it booting off the sata I had installed it to.  The other time I had installed grub to the wrong drive.
[11:59] <rek> wbazhang i'm on irssi for win damn can't copy the link or i dunno how to copy it
[11:59] <viliny> ruan: do you get the grub menu?
[11:59] <ruan> viliny: nope, no menu at all
[11:59] <rek> during the installation i create another home?
[12:00] <viliny> how about using the supergrub disk to repair boot?
[12:00] <ruan> viliny: why would boot be broken from install 3 times?
[12:00] <viliny> i don't have a good answer to that im afraid
[12:01] <bazhang> rek, not sure about how to copy via irssi as I'm on xchat, you could check the logs later, or just remember the psychocats website name
[12:01] <ruan> i guess i'll have to install windows now
[12:01] <viliny> have you tried switching your boot hardrive from bios? i mean, if you don't even get the grub menu it seems like ubuntu has little to do with it
[12:01] <K350> is there any image viewer for the terminal..uhm..or well maybe I'm just dumb ....
[12:01] <AegisX> is it me, or is it no longer possible to hide the mounted drives from the desktop?
[12:01] <ruan> viliny: my boot hard drive is the hard drive ubuntu is installed on
[12:02] <AegisX> i've tried using gconf-editor
[12:02] <viliny> ruan: well, im not sure i can be of much more help... id give the third party grub rescue thing a try if i were in your shoes but other than that... out of ideas atm
[12:02] <ruan> viliny: i've tried 2 different partitions too
[12:03] <chopin_> hello
[12:05] <AegisX> anyone have any tips on how to hide the desktop drive icons?
[12:07] <sacarlson> ruan: what device did you select as you mbr for grub when you installed?
[12:07] <ruan> sacarlson: my main hard drive
[12:08] <timh____> when I log in using my user account, does anyone know where the environment is loaded.  I looked in ~/bashrc, couldn't find an ~/xinitrc.
[12:08] <sacarlson> ruan:  what device might that be /dev/sdb?
[12:08] <chopin_> anyone, ho i make bash_profile like gnacktrack?
[12:08] <ruan> sacarlson: possibly
[12:08] <chopin_> how i make
[12:08] <sacarlson> ruan:  well then there is a posibility it's wrong,  your bios may be set to boot from /dev/sda
[12:09] <rethus> my cardreader doesn't work anymore after upgrade to 10.10
[12:09] <ruan> sacarlson: how would i set it otherwise?
[12:09] <rethus> if i plugin the reader the led only blink shortly two times... no messages in /var/log/messages
[12:09] <rethus> and idea whats wrong?
[12:09] <sacarlson> ruan: did you try anything to install a new mbr with something like this http://paste.ubuntu.com/562593/
[12:09] <osmosis_paul> mmm i have a wierd situacion, if i execute a shell script as sudo script.sh should execute every command that i have inside as root right?
[12:09] <osmosis_paul> is not happening with a CP that i'm mading
[12:09] <hilarie> So... I ran a bunch of crap in wine as gksudo, and now my root folder has a bunch of crap for wine, can I safely delete all of it?
[12:09] <osmosis_paul> if i execute this line in the command line as sudo works
[12:09] <osmosis_paul> but in the script nope
[12:10] <osmosis_paul> by default my user is ubuntu but i run the script as sudo
[12:10] <sacarlson> ruan: in most cases bios is set to boot /dev/sda  but with usb flash installs it sometimes becomes /dev/sdb so worst case maybe try install to both
[12:10] <ruan> sacarlson: im using a livecd
[12:11] <tensorpudding> hilarie: delete the /root/.wine folder
[12:11] <LiquidDemocracy> Anybody knows openoffice calc well?
[12:11] <tensorpudding> it'll get rid of everything you installed or did as root in wine though
[12:11] <sacarlson> ruan: as you can see from the pastebin it's made to use a livecd boot to recover mbr
[12:11] <hilarie> @tensorpudding k ty
[12:11] <bazhang> LiquidDemocracy, try #openoffice.org
[12:12] <Ve2> pop quiz, creating samba shares that have spaces in the path?
[12:12] <Ve2> quotes doesn't seem to be working for me.
[12:12] <LiquidDemocracy> bazhang, thx
[12:13] <ruan> sacarlson: how would i remember all of that?
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> hilarie:  the wine icons may still stay in the menus. those are under some other directory i recall.
[12:13] <LjL> Ve2: dunno, try backslash\ space...
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> Ve2:  ive fond out the hard way its best to NOT have spaces in shaer names
[12:13] <Ve2> ta
[12:13] <Ve2> I can't not have them
[12:13] <Dr_Willis> Ve2:  how are you acessing the share, via fstab? nautilus? indows?
[12:14] <Ve2> It's a read only ntfs volume.
[12:14] <rethus> my cardreader doesn't work anymore after upgrade to 10.10
[12:14] <rethus> if i plugin the reader the led only blink shortly two times... no messages in /var/log/messages
[12:14] <sacarlson> ruan: you shouldn't have to remember just follow it,  maybe print it if needed
[12:14] <Dr_Willis> Ve2:  so whats the fact its a NTFS volume matter?
[12:14] <Ve2> It's read only
[12:14] <Ve2> I can't take the space out of the file name.
[12:14] <ruan> then remove the read only attribute?
[12:15] <Ve2> :/
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> Ve2:  you asked how to create a share.. You can make shares that are not the same name as a directory you are shareing is named..
[12:15] <Ve2> I just want to specify a path with a space in it.
[12:15] <xn1015> 你们好
[12:15] <Dr_Willis> Ve2:  specifiy it where exactly? we need a bit more details.
[12:15] <ikonia> Ve2: escape it
[12:16] <Ve2> in smb.conf
[12:16] <^Phantom^> Okay

[12:16] <^Phantom^> sometimes it doesn't
[12:16] <Dr_Willis> Ve2:  so you are defining a share in smb.conf and the 'actual path' has a space in the name.. you are saying...
[12:16] <bazhang> !cn | xn1015
[12:16] <rethus> my cardreader doesn't work anymore after upgrade to 10.10
[12:16] <rethus> if i plugin the reader the led only blink shortly two times... no messages in /var/log/messages
[12:17] <Dr_Willis> Ve2:  the share defined does not have to have a space in the actual 'share name' is what we are saying.  it dosent have to be the same name as the  '/path/to/share directory'
[12:17] <Nikkos> hello everyone
[12:17] <Nikkos> i have a problem with my printer canon i250 and ubuntu 10.4
[12:18] <Ve2> Willis I am not entirely sure what you are talking about, it doesn't seem relevant to my query however.
[12:18] <bazhang> Nikkos, what does linuxprinting.org say about that printer
[12:18] <Nikkos> ill check
[12:19] <Nikkos> hm i cant find anything about my printer :/
[12:20] <Nikkos> wait
[12:20] <Nikkos> no i cant find i250
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> Ve2:  You are confusing in yoru wuestion as to the 'share name' and 'defining' the share in smb.conf  there are 2 (at least) samba books in the repos with examples of the smb.conf file with examples. You may want to check them out.
[12:21] <Dr_Willis> !info samba-doc
[12:21] <Ve2> So in smb.conf, under the "path" option, supposeing the path of the directory I want to map is /media/store/my documents
[12:21] <Ve2> How would I map this path?
[12:21] <Ve2> Quotes/escaping does not appear to work.
[12:21] <Nikkos> ubuntu recognizes it, i installed it selecting the i250 drivers from ubuntu list... but i can't print
[12:22] <Nikkos> it gives an eror
[12:22] <Nikkos> error*
[12:23] <mak__> Hi. Is there any possible way to remove DISK not bookmarks, DISK entries from Places menu? They are duplicates made by disk-manager, which I do not need any more.
[12:23] <ActionParsnip> Ve2: make a symlink without the space, then path to the link
[12:24] <Ve2> Is that the only way?
[12:24] <Nikkos> someone can help me?
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> Ve2: using spaces in stuff maks life complicated. I suggest you avoid them
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> Ve2:  a quick gootle hit.. says use quotes,.,,
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> path = "/media/disk1/My Documents/My Videos"
[12:24] <Welshy-Rob> Hello, my ubuntu (10.10)  seems to be running really slowly on my system, i can only run about two programs at once and it still manages to crash now this could be because i have a pretty poor pc but the previous version of ubuntu used to run so much faster! is there anything you can suggest i do?
[12:24] <Ve2> Yeah after I migrate off this raid array I will be reshuffling things
[12:24] <Ve2> can't right now though
[12:24] <Dr_Willis> Ve2:  the 'share name' in my example . would be best to be set to 'My_Videos"
[12:24] <ActionParsnip> Welshy-Rob: test your RAM
[12:24] <Ve2> Willis: as I mentioned before, quotes are not working for me.
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> Ve2:  they should be. double check other  shares..
[12:25] <adub_> what are some command to test sound
[12:25] <ruan> cant install windows from wine :/
[12:25] <Ve2> uh oh
[12:25] <Ve2> ...
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> also check the 'case' of the path Ve2
[12:25] <ActionParsnip> adub_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting   has ways to test sound
[12:25] <Rasm52> Hi, I hope this doesn't intrude on your daily support cycle. But what FOSS is available from your software center than can be used to visually model explosions and map out compact explosive designs? It is a scholarly curiosity, I promise.
[12:25] <Dr_Willis> Ve2:  and the ownership/other permissions.. shareing ntfs. i have found tricky in the past.
[12:26] <Nikkos> bazhang can ou help me?
[12:26] <daaxma_> 1;2c1;2c/leave
[12:26] <ActionParsnip> ruan: thats because its for installing apps, not windows itself. If you want Windows then use vmware or virtualbox
[12:26] <ruan> actionparsnip: i need to get an OS that works
[12:26] <Welshy-Rob> ActionParsnip, how?
[12:26] <Rasm52> ok j/k.
[12:27] <Rasm52> !mods
[12:27] <Rasm52> !ban me
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> Welshy-Rob: when the system starts to boot (just after POST), hold shift and you can run memtest+ from there
[12:27] <ActionParsnip> ruan: ubuntu works....
[12:27] <ruan> i would rather install ubuntu but it wont work for me
[12:28] <wulfy> ikonia,  odd person there...
[12:28] <ruan> it wont boot
[12:28] <alexrodriguez> is there a specific help channel for Ubuntu, or is this it? (I'd hit "/list Ubuntu" but that doen't seem to work in Xchat)
[12:28] <Welshy-Rob> ActionParsnip, what am i looking for when i do that?
[12:29] <hilarie> Alex you have come to the right place
[12:29] <ruan> alexrodiguez: this is it
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> alexrodriguez:  topic says 'official ubuntu support channel' :)
[12:29] <ActionParsnip> Welshy-Rob: if the screen stays blue like this: http://www.playtool.com/pages/memtest/memtest86.jpg   it's ok. If it goes like this: http://billy-oneal.com/forums/memTest/memtestFail.png   it's bad
[12:30] <kjelle> hello. When is /etc/timezone read/used?
[12:30] <kjelle> is it on boot?
[12:31] <Dr_Willis> Ve2:  i just made a share with a space in its name and the auto-genrated conf used --> path=/home/willis/Desktop/test share
[12:31] <Welshy-Rob> ActionParsnip, cheers
[12:32] <alexrodriguez> Well, installed Maverick on my Acer Aspire (AOA150), microphone doen't work. I've spent the last two days trying everything googling Ubuntu support forums can tell me - I've updated all the lsa, gnome-alsa, pulse audio, I've reset between internal andMic a dozen times, I've slid the input volume bars to all extremes, etc
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> kjelle:  I would think thats a yes. theres a set/check time/date service that checks it.. other apps could check it later i imagine.
[12:32] <ActionParsnip> Welshy-Rob: if the ram is ok we can explore other avenues
[12:32] <sacarlson> ruan: so the reload of mbr failed?
[12:32] <ruan> sacarlson: i havent installed ubuntu yet
[12:32] <ylmfos> hi
[12:32] <ruan> sacarlson: well i uninstalled the 3 others i had
[12:33] <ylmfos> happy every
[12:33] <sacarlson> ruan: oh well it won't boot if you don't install it other than from a livecd
[12:33] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: what is the generated url when you upload to the server when you run this command:    wget -O alsa-info.sh http://alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && bash ./alsa-info.sh
[12:33] <ruan> sacarlson: all 3 were from a livecd
[12:33] <sacarlson> ruan: what did you do to uninstall ubuntu?
[12:33] <AegisX> Does anyone use mind mapping software here? If so, for what and is it useful?
[12:34] <ruan> sacarlson: i wiped the hard drive, since ubuntu did that already
[12:34] <LjL> AegisX: probably a better question for #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:34] <sacarlson> ruan: what program did you use to wipe it?
[12:35] <ruan> sacarlson: gparted
[12:35] <sopra> italiani???
[12:35] <sacarlson> ruan: well now that you leaned the uses of gparted maybe your ready to move on to install
[12:36] <ruan> sacarlson: i've tried installing it 3 times
[12:36] <LjL> !it | sopra
[12:36] <AegisX> Thanks, LjL
[12:36] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: do you think it is checked later?
[12:37] <sacarlson> ruan: did you pick the same place to put the mbr each time?  did you try hit <ctrl><alt> +f2  if it ended with a black screen?
[12:37] <alexrodriguez> ActionParsnip - unable to resolve host address 'alsa-project.org'
[12:37] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: I have an application running on an embedded system using a debian etch, and im using settimeofday from some interface
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> kjelle:  after the initial services boot.. i doubt it. unless theres a cron job.
[12:37] <ruan> sacarlson: didnt end with a black screen
[12:37] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: I just dont want any linux cron-cycle to overwrite my time/tz
[12:37] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: does the system have web access/
[12:37] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: okey, I guess it's not (it's a minietch system)
[12:37] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: ty
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> kjelle:  ubuntu and debian dont use the same  startup system last i checked...
[12:37] <sacarlson> ruan: then I would try another mbr location
[12:37] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: ouch, okey, I will just test it then =)
[12:37] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip yes
[12:37] <Dr_Willis> kjelle:  ubuntu uses upstart.. debian.. sysv proberly.
[12:37] <ruan> sacarlson: like where?
[12:38] <kjelle> Dr_Willis: okey. thank you for your help.
[12:38] <sacarlson> ruan: well you said you only have 2 disks so only two to chose
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: ok try this: http://pastie.org/1574367
[12:38] <ruan> sacarlson: my other one is a 40 gb hard drive, i'd prefer not to use it
[12:38] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: it's a dead handy script for sound issues. If you run it, you can select to not upload ad it will make a file in /tmp which you can then manually pastebin
[12:38] <sacarlson> ruan: /dev/sda  and /dev/sdb  I would assume  but with all that activity on gparted you should know better that I
[12:39] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip can I PM to avoid flood?
[12:39] <ruan> sacarlson: how do i wipe the MBR?
[12:39] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: use pastebin.com and you won't flood
[12:40] <sacarlson> ruan: each time you install grub it wipes or replaces the mbr
[12:40] <ruan> sacarlson: ok
[12:40] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip http://pastebin.com/jubzMq0S
[12:41] <alexrodriguez> ^the second time I ran wget
[12:41] <mak__> Hi. Is there any possible way to remove DISK not bookmarks, DISK entries from Places menu?
[12:41] <sacarlson> ruan: since you already played with gparted just make sure you have an empty space with no file system before installing ubuntu so it can guess where to install itself
[12:42] <ruan> sacarlson: the drive is completely clear with 1 partition
[12:42] <sacarlson> ruan: that sounds like a good place to start
[12:42] <ruan> sacarlson: and i hope it works :/
[12:43] <sacarlson> ruan: if all else fails try the alternate install cd
[12:43] <ruan> sacarlson: alternate install cd?
[12:44] <sacarlson> ruan: the one used for server install in most cases yes,  it's a text based install without graphics,  it installs to systems with less memory
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> mak__:  not that ive ever seen.
[12:44] <ruan> sacarlson: i only have 1 cd, the livecd
[12:45] <sacarlson> ruan: there are other iso image file to try that can be downloaded.
[12:45] <ruan> sacarlson: havent got any spare cds for that
[12:45] <mak__> Dr_Willis, is that for real? I mean I how have a list of 9 disks, which are duplicates
[12:46] <ruan> sacarlson: and my pc wont boot from a usb
[12:46] <sacarlson> ruan: do you have a usb flash drive around?
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: ok, press ENTER on the dislogue screen then select to save locally
[12:46] <ruan> sacarlson: with all of the programs i tried to make an ubuntu usb with 2 different ones, they failed
[12:46] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: then copy the location of the file when the page changes, open it in gedit, copy the text then pastebin the text
[12:46] <sacarlson> ruan: well there is also something called plop that will can make a system that won't support usb boot to boot with them
[12:47] <ruan> sacarlson: it does support usb boot, its mentioned in removable list
[12:47] <ruan> sacarlson: but it fails at doing so
[12:47] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - I end with "Your ALSA information is in /tmp/alsa-info.txt.TYsnFTwkKV", I'm afraid I'm still newb - what do you mean to choose to save locally?
[12:47] <ruan> well the install is finished
[12:48] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - I should sudo gedit /tmp/alsa-info.txt.TYsnFTwkKV ?
[12:48] <sacarlson> ruan: well also make sure the files you download are not corupted by checking with md5sum  and see if the usb flash will boot another computer system
[12:48] <ruan> sacarlson: i've checked the md5sum already
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: no need for sudo, and sudo is NOT to be used with gedit
[12:48] <ruan> sacarlson: it also failed to install windows from usb
[12:48] <sacarlson> ruan: did you try the usb flash on another system?
[12:48] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: use gksudo for GUI apps like gedit and such
[12:49] <ruan> sacarlson: no, havent got one to use
[12:49] <sacarlson> ruan: well that's all I can tell you
[12:49] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: you can run: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit /tmp/alsa-info.txt.TYsnFTwkKV     and give the link in here
[12:49] <ruan> im going to reboot.. if im not back in 10 minutes, the install failed again
[12:49] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - http://pastebin.com/HwVxijML
[12:50] <ruan> and i'll be back redownloading xchat and everything for the fourth time..
[12:50] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: cool, lots of useful info there :)
[12:50] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - all Greek to me
[12:51] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: if you run:  gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf      add this to the bottom then reboot:      options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire         does it work ok?
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> mak__:  sounds like somthings goofed up if they are identical. Ive seen Dupe items in some menus befor. try a reboot see if it corects itself.
[12:52] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - terminal seems to be frozen, when I try to close it warns it still has a process ongoing...can I force-close without danger, and reopen it to run that?
[12:52] <Dr_Willis> mak__:  or check the forum,s there may be some file that needs  refreshed/removed.
[12:52] <mak__> Dr_Willis, did not work. This chat is my last resort. Goggle obviously fails
[12:53] <FightingNavyman> so how can i unlock the partition I used for linux and delete that.. im on win7 ultimat. and im ready to install Ubuntu10.10 :o
[12:53] <FightingNavyman> is it possible to delete te partition i used for linux?
[12:53] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: just kill it then
[12:54] <osmosis_paul> hi guys i change my promt PS1 but now dont see in which folder i am
[12:54] <ActionParsnip> FightingNavyman: did you hibernate / suspend when you exited Linux...
[12:54] <osmosis_paul> how can i put it again the default name, or at least see again the folder where i am every time
[12:55] <ActionParsnip> osmosis_paul: my PS1=${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$
[12:55] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - alexrodriguez: if you run:  gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf      add this to the bottom then reboot:      options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire         does it work ok? - that was one of the many tricks I found on Google, tried it yesterday
[12:55] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - so that line is already in the file at the bottom, I put it there yesterday I'm afraid
[12:55] <osmosis_paul> ActionParsnip, si pongo eso, ahora me sale "u@h:w$
[12:55] <osmosis_paul> "
[12:56] <osmosis_paul> y me sigue sin mostrar el directorio donde me encuentro
[12:56] <FightingNavyman> ActionParsnip : i was on win7 first. then i installed the cd for linux mint. then i installed win7 ultimate from win7 home. and now i want to get ubuntu on this pc. but the partition for linux mint still there.... it didnt let me delete it when i was choosing the new partition for windows 7 ultimate.
[12:56] <chopin_> anyone, can i ask
[12:56] <osmosis_paul> ActionParsnip, sorry i mean that if i put that you post me here i recieve this in console u@h:w$
[12:56] <osmosis_paul> and i dont have yet the folder where i am
[12:56] <chopin_> how to make bash_profile like gnacktrack (ubuntu remastering for penetration)
[12:57] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: ok and did you try:  sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-maverick-generic
[12:57] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - yes I'm afraid so
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> osmosis_paul: then run:    export PS1=${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$
[12:58] <osmosis_paul> Hello someone know a way to show the folder where are you in the PS1??? i change it and now dont show me in wich folder i am
[12:58] <osmosis_paul> ActionParsnip, sorry man, nothing
[12:58] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: does sound work, just not the mic?
[12:58] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - yes
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> osmosis_paul: then at the bottom of ~/.bashrc    add:  export PS1="\e[0;36m[\u@\h \W]\$ \e[m "             then save the new file and run:  source ~/.bashrc
[12:59] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: in: alsamixer    are all levels cranked and unmuted?
[13:00] <remoteCTRL> hi guys!
[13:00] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: does the microphone work in sound recorder and such?
[13:00] <osmosis_paul> ActionParsnip, now, come back again
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: what app(s) have you tested it in?
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> osmosis_paul: all better?
[13:01] <remoteCTRL> in earlier times one used to write resolutions and metamodes into /etc/X11/xorg.conf, where do i put this nowadays?
[13:01] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - does not work in sound recorder or Skype, just static noise
[13:01] <ActionParsnip> remoteCTRL: same
[13:01] <osmosis_paul> ok now this is my PS1 ubuntu@ip-10-48-201-56:/home$  i want change the @@ip-10-48-201-56:/ for a name but dont have to lost the folder where i'am
[13:02] <osmosis_paul> ActionParsnip, any idea how?
[13:02] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - all levels are up and unmuted, yes
[13:02] <remoteCTRL> ActionParsnip: hi dude! i really ran into trouble quite frequently when still putting things in there...?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: screw skype, its proprietary rubbish and can be fraughted with issues, try sound recorder instead
[13:02] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip, I am trying both
[13:02] <theWORDis> where am i?
[13:02] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: static in both?
[13:02] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - silence in skype, static in sound recorder
[13:03] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/433055    seems to be a know issue
[13:03] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - if I go to alsamixer and hit F6 to select soundcard, it shows me I am on default, would setting it to  HDA Intel possibly help?
[13:04] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: #34 looks good
[13:04] <theWORDis> never mind
[13:04] <osmosis_paul> ActionParsnip,  if my PS1 is ubuntu@ip-10-48-201-56:/home$ and i want change only the ip after @ but remain the /folder_where_i_am any idea how can i do it?
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: also try adding:   index=-2    on the same line in alsa-base.conf as I gave you earlier
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> osmosis_paul: I'm not that hot with PS1 dude, sorry
[13:05] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - at the end of the same line, or beginning?
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> osmosis_paul: the guys in #bash may be able to help
[13:05] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: at the end
[13:05] <osmosis_paul> cool thanks dude
[13:06] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - http://pastebin.com/rEQn6prf - like this?
[13:07] <rethus> i can't delete files on my usb stick.
[13:07] <rethus> why
[13:07] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: looks good, save the file and reboot
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> rethus: its mounted read only possibly
[13:08] <Gnea> rethus: because you don't have permission
[13:08] <rethus> where can i change it?
[13:08] <psyflux> hey can i get some help ?
[13:08] <chris_pres> rethus, was it default mount?
[13:08] <Gnea> rethus: can you pastebin the output of the mount command please?
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> rethus: when you last pulled the stick from a system, what steps did you take?
[13:08] <Gnea> !helpme | psyflux
[13:08] <ActionParsnip> psyflux: ask away dude
[13:08] <Gnea> !ask | psyflux
[13:09] <rethus> /dev/sdb1 on /media/usb0 type vfat (rw,noexec,nodev,sync,noatime,nodiratime)
[13:09] <rethus> seems to be read and write
[13:09] <psyflux> i need command   for getting admin with out knowing the admin pass
[13:09] <rethus> ActionParsnip: open dolphin and try to delete a file
[13:09] <chris_pres> rethus, what message do you get when you try to delete a file?
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> rethus: how did you take the device out of the last system it was in?
[13:10] <chris_pres> psyflux, sudo su
[13:10] <psyflux>  i need command   for getting admin with out knowing the admin pass
[13:10] <aeon-ltd> psyflux: why? and can't you use sudo?
[13:10] <Gnea> rumpe1: hm, somehow it's not setting the 'user' mount flag
[13:10] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: your PC reboots in 8 seconds?
[13:10] <Gnea> !sudo | psyflux
[13:10] <rethus> "could not delete file
[13:10] <psyflux> im on school man i need to unlock the pcs :)
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> chris_pres: sudo -i   is advised over sudo su
[13:11] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - little mor than that, but it's empty, so fairly fast
[13:11] <psyflux> cant be done with that ive tried
[13:11] <aeon-ltd> psyflux: your school uses linux
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: nice
[13:11] <aeon-ltd> ?
[13:11] <Gnea> rethus: well yeah, how about the output of the 'id' command?
[13:11] <psyflux> yup
[13:11] <chris_pres> ActionParsnip, never heard of that?!?
[13:11] <alexrodriguez> actionpasnip - now my sound icon is showing its muted and I can't change it
[13:11] <aeon-ltd> psyflux: then why?
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> chris_pres: (I)nteractive sudo
[13:11] <alexrodriguez> well, not muted...just not moving?
[13:11] <alexrodriguez> not registering
[13:11] <Gnea> psyflux: then you're not part of sudoers, you'll need to become a part of it
[13:11] <rethus> if i try on shell, i got permission denied... filesystem is readonly
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: do you have sound?
[13:11] <psyflux> for unlocing and changing the DNS servers
[13:11] <chris_pres> ActionParsnip, what advantage?
[13:11] <alexrodriguez> no
[13:12] <rethus> Gnea: what is the id-command?
[13:12] <Gnea> rethus: if you're unwilling to answer my questions, then you won't get anywhere
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> rethus: how did you remove the usb stick from the last system you pulled it out of, what steps?
[13:12] <aeon-ltd> psyflux: how long do you have?
[13:12] <Gnea> rethus: you type id, and you press enter.
[13:12] <psyflux> the cmd started like.. cd/atm or something like that
[13:12] <Gnea> rethus: man id  <--- tells more about it
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> chris_pres: its the same as sudo but will keep geing until you type: exit
[13:12] <rethus> uid=1000(suther) gid=1000(suther) Gruppen=1000(suther),4(adm),20(dialout),24(cdrom),29(audio),44(video),46(plugdev),100(users),104(lpadmin),114(admin),117(sambashare),121(vboxusers),1001(burning)
[13:12] <psyflux> i dont know it all
[13:12] <psyflux> just the firs cmd line
[13:13] <rethus> ActionParsnip: normal way... alway unmount it
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> chris_pres: it's closer to using sudo, for one.
[13:13] <ActionParsnip> rethus: good lad :)
[13:13] <alexrodriguez> actionparsnip - what do I type into terminal to bring up alsamixer again? I thought it was just "alsamixer" but it is saying that is no such file/directory
[13:14] <psyflux> i need the cmd so i can become sysadmin and change DNS servers to unlock sites
[13:14] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez: alsamixer    you can use the UP cursor to review old commands
[13:14] <Gnea> psyflux: you've been given the command.
[13:14] <rethus> ok, i put the microSD-Card back in my phone, and delete the file, thats work
[13:14] <rethus> why not on desktop
[13:15] <psyflux> but without knowing the admin pass
[13:15] <rethus> where can i set fullaccess to usbstick while mounting
[13:15] <ActionParsnip> psyflux: you can set DNS in network manager or you can edit /etc/resolv.conf
[13:15] <Pici> psyflux: Are you asking us how to get sudo/root access on a computer that is not yours?
[13:15] <Gnea> ActionParsnip: kids these days and their lack of patience...

[13:18] <ActionParsnip> alexrodriguez_: looks like that 2nd option is screwing stuff up, I'd get rid of it
[13:18] <alexrodriguez_> which second option?
[13:18] <Gnea> rethus: go to the 'user privileges' tab and see if you have the ability to mount user-space filesystems

[13:30] <lolcopter> Hello, I am trying to install ubuntu onto USB drive. Now when I am in the live cd and do a chroot after the installation, I can't get the networking up.  "Configuring network interfaces...ifup: failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: No such file or directory
[13:30] <lolcopter> " any ideas?
[13:30] <jrib> osmosis_paul: I do not understand what you are asking.  What do you want to accomplish?
[13:31] <ecanto_> hi
[13:32] <gsb> ecanto_: hello
[13:32] <osmosis_paul> jribi want check folder that i have in a folder and remove all those folder whose date are older than 5 days
[13:32] <osmosis_paul> is for clean in my backup log system
[13:32] <jrib> osmosis_paul: older in what way?  modification time?
[13:32] <ikonia> osmosis_paul: just use find and -mtime
[13:32] <osmosis_paul> every folder has as name the date when he was created
[13:32] <ecanto_> my problem is XF86Eject not working
[13:32] <ruan> im back
[13:32] <osmosis_paul> older in the way of when he was created
[13:33] <ruan> still cant boot ubuntu
[13:33] <ecanto_> my laptop dell inspiron 1440
[13:33] <coz_> ruan,  does the live cd work
[13:33] <jrib> osmosis_paul: so you have to parse the name of the folder?  Because when you created the folder you included the creation time in the date?
[13:33] <ruan> coz_ yes the livecd works
[13:33] <jrib> osmosis_paul: so you have to parse the name of the folder?  Because when you created the folder you included the creation time in the name?
[13:33] <coz_> ruan,  and did you check the cd for errors?
[13:33] <coz_> ruan,  and also did you run a memory check
[13:33] <ruan> coz_: yes to both
[13:34] <osmosis_paul> jrib, exactly
[13:34] <kmck> Hi All! :) so I am very new to 'the computer world' and will ask a lot of questions (especially if I don't understand something) and today i have a lot of questions... 1) i was trying to get rid of Ubuntu completely and get Windows 7 back, i got recovery media disks from gateway i put the CD's in and booted from the disk, after completely wiping my hard drive and re-installing windows 7 and all the drivers i got a black screen (looked like DOS prompt)
[13:34] <coz_> ruan,  mmm  and you installed to the main hard drive
[13:34] <ruan> coz_: yes
[13:34] <osmosis_paul> 2011-02-17/ and inside i have the logs of that day
[13:34] <ruan> coz_: first priority on boot
[13:34] <osmosis_paul> i want remove the folders 5 days older
[13:34] <coz_> ruan,  was there another system on that same hard drive previously?
[13:34] <ruan> coz_: yes but it was formatted
[13:35] <adub_> i am having issues with my sound on my computer i would prefer hd sound but any sound would do i guess
[13:35] <ruan> adub_: do you have the latest sound drivers?
[13:35] <coz_> ruan,  this is ubuntu 10.10  ,, yes?
[13:35] <jrib> osmosis_paul: well, loop over every directory, extract the date, compare the date to current one (maybe ask #bash how best to do this part or don't use bash...), then delete if older than whatever.  Or maybe an easier way, at the beginning compute what you want to keep (i.e. the last 5 dates) and then delete the folders that don't equal any of those
[13:36] <ruan> coz_: yes 10.10
[13:36] <adub_> ruan well even yesterday before formatting i had installed the lastest alsa
[13:36] <adub_> i think there is just a lot going on with sound
[13:36] <coz_> ruan,  just to carify,,, when the live cd boots ,,, when you see the keyboard icon at the bottom you hit enter,,, and then when the menu appears you ran both memory check and  check cd ,,,yes?
[13:37] <adub_> i have a tv tuner card that uses pulse audio then i have onboard sound then i have sound on my video card that uses hdmi
[13:37] <ruan> coz_: yes
[13:37] <osmosis_paul> jrib, yes the idea i have on mind, i was asking something more in low level of shell, how get the name of a folder and cast to number for example
[13:37] <coz_> ruan,  was windows on this prior to ubuntu?
[13:37] <ruan> coz_: yes it was on before ubuntu, but ubuntu wiped the partition
[13:37] <alexrodriguez_> actionparsnip - was there something new to try in alsa-base.conf now that it's open? (sorry, not trying to be a nag)
[13:37] <coz_> ruan,  do you have a windows install cd?
[13:37] <jrib> osmosis_paul: you don't want to do that, it's a date in MM-DD-YYYY format, not a number
[13:37] <tull> Is there anyone using Ubuntu with the graphic card Ati Mobility Radeon Hd 3650 ?
[13:37] <ruan> coz_: yes i do
[13:38] <ruan> coz_: windows xp
[13:38] <cdbs> !anyone | tull
[13:38] <osmosis_paul> jrib, yes but then how you can compare with the system time?
[13:39] <jrib> osmosis_paul: you can use date to convert your date into a unix timestamp, but ask #bash if there is a better way
[13:39] <coz_> ruan,  off hand I cannot think of what this could be ,
[13:39] <LinkRage> someone please type: id , as a regular user, I need to know the default groups pls ;)
[13:39] <osmosis_paul> i want cast to milliseconds do you know what i mean?
[13:39] <ruan> coz_: everyone said that :S
[13:39] <tull> i want to know if the card mobility radeon hd 3650 with ubuntu uses correctly the fan
[13:39] <coz_> ruan,   I would try to in stall  xp again and see if it boots just to be sure the hard drive itself is not broken
[13:39] <bazhang> osmosis_paul, milliseconds?
[13:39] <coz_> ruan,  thats a bit extreme but  ...
[13:39] <ruan> coz_: it booted before i booted off the livecd
[13:39] <wulfy> coz_,  wouldnt SMART be of any use?
[13:39] <osmosis_paul> bazhang, yes why not?
[13:39] <lithpr> how can i find out the X windows information about an window, so i can use that information for devilspie?
[13:40] <coz_> wulfy,  not sure ,, if you have suggestions go for it :)
[13:40] <wulfy> coz_,  well if your just testing the hdd why not query the smart info
[13:40] <coz_> ruan,  does nothing show when booting
[13:40] <ruan> coz_: nothing boots at all
[13:40] <ruan> coz_: it just does nothing at boot
[13:41] <coz_> ruan,   restart it  and hold down the left shift key to see if it comes to the grub menu,,,, if so ,,, hit   "e"  and edit the kernel stanza with     nomodeset  just before quiet splash
[13:41] <lithpr> found it: xlsclients -l
[13:41] <mah454> Hello
[13:41] <ruan> coz_: ok brb..
[13:41] <coz_> wulfy,   that sounds reasonalbe , maybe you can walk him through that one :)
[13:42] <mah454> how i can ssh without timeout ?

[13:47] <coz_> eXpLoD,  I am not sure I understand "details of it"
[13:47] <noamicko> eXpLoD: what do you mean details? r u running it from the command line?

[13:51] <ruan> i had no grub menu
[13:51] <ruan> i tried twice, nothing
[13:51] <ActionParsnip> yann2: then why ask in here if "you know'?
[13:51] <coz_> ruan,  did you already  do a reinstall of the system?
[13:51] <ruan> yes, 4 times
[13:51] <coz_> ruan,  yikes
[13:51] <dubey> hello
[13:51] <ruan> every single one failed :/
[13:52] <ruan> they just dont boot
[13:52] <yann2> ActionParsnip, cause even if its in development there are alpha outs that people try, and because "running without hardware accel" might be a target of 11.4=
[13:52] <coz_> ruan,  is this laptop or desktop
[13:52] <ruan> desk
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> yann2: if you knew, you would know natty is not discussed here and it is ONLY supported in #ubuntu+1
[13:52] <coz_> ruan,   ready made or built?
[13:52] <dubey> how to create apt-get update server ?
[13:52] <ruan> built
[13:52] <ActionParsnip> yann2: so you clearly DON'T know
[13:53] <coz_> ruan,   give me a quick run down of hardware
[13:53] <ruan> coz_: it was originally ready made, but over the years i replaced everything
[13:53] <ActionParsnip> dubey: http://www.howtoforge.com/local_debian_ubuntu_mirror
[13:53] <yann2> I guess I missed the second part of the line :)

[13:53] <jrib> nagel182: only if you share it!
[13:53] <nagel182> i installed it as the site said, and made a check
[13:53] <yann2> try being friendly, it helps too :/
[13:54] <ActionParsnip> yann2: no, just don't give cheek / attitude and you'll do better
[13:54] <coz_> ruan,  does that video card require power plug?
[13:54] <ruan> coz_: no its internal
[13:54] <nagel182> and only one failed this: FAIL: wand/wandtest.sh
[13:54] <coz_> ruan,  so onboard video  mm
[13:54] <ruan> coz_: yeh
[13:54] <ruan> coz_: its ok with heavy 3d games so i dont mind
[13:55] <jrib> nagel182: erm, what do you mean you "installed it as the site said"?  Did you use apt?
[13:55] <coz_> ruan,  let me think this through  ,, hold on
[13:55] <ruan> coz_: ok
[13:55] <nagel182> no sudo make install
[13:55] <koolhead11> can someone point me to ubuntu PAM documentation?
[13:55] <jrib> nagel182: undo that; always use synaptic
[13:55]  * ruan installs the mp3 drivers for the 2nd time in the meantime..
[13:55] <nagel182> how do i undo it?
[13:56] <ruan> i meant codecs
[13:56] <jrib> nagel182: read its documentation I guess.  Sometimes there's a "make uninstall" rule
[13:56] <dubey> ActionParsnip: Can my local network user use this host as their update server ?
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> dubey: sure if you add the server to the system(s)
[13:56] <jrib> koolhead11: apt-cache search -n pam doc
[13:56] <marck_> how can I find out the current regioncode of my dvdplayer?
[13:57] <jrib> koolhead11: there's usually also useful info in /usr/share/doc/PACKAGE for relevant PACKAGEs
[13:57] <nagel182> jrib: there isnt.
[13:58] <ruan> my problem is that grub boot loader isnt showing at all, and pc stands still where it would normally go to boot
[13:58] <jrib> nagel182: then you must delete it yourself.  Make sure you check its documentation

[13:58] <ruan> this "loading DMI pool data" screen
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> ruan: www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-fix-ubuntu-10-04-lts-lucid-blank-screen-at-startup.html
[13:58] <ActionParsnip> ruan: ahhhhh thats different
[13:58] <ruan> i dont get a blank screen
[13:59] <nagel182> but why should i delete it, jrib?
[13:59] <jrib> nagel182: because you should use the version in apt
[13:59] <ActionParsnip> ruan: shutdown the PC and unplug the power for at least 30 mins, then plug it back in and it should be ok
[13:59] <tull> si puo conoscere la temperatura di una scheda ati con i driver radeon? Ho scoperto che con i radeon funziona compiz!
[13:59] <Pici> !it | tull
[13:59] <ruan> actuionparsnip: why?
[13:59] <nagel182> and if i download the apt vversion does it overwrites it?
[13:59] <jrib> nagel182: no
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> ruan: it will sort the DMI pool data issue.....
[14:00] <ruan> actuionparsnip: its not an issue, it always goes there
[14:00] <ruan> fail
[14:00] <koolhead11> jrib, thanks. let me check it. i need to know how to enable pam_mkhomedir
[14:01] <ActionParsnip> ruan: I see, then the boot option in the link I gave will sort it for you
[14:01] <nagel182> jrib, i think sudo make uninstall worked
[14:01] <jrib> nagel182: ok
[14:01] <ruan> ActionParsnip: are you sure?
[14:01] <nagel182> jrib, so how can i get imagemagick from apt?
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> ruan: yes, some video cards cause black screens at boot, the boot option mentioned is one known to resolve it in most cases
[14:02] <jrib> nagel182: you can use synaptic if you like synaptic
[14:02] <ruan> ActionParsnip: i dont get black screen
[14:02] <ActionParsnip> nagel182: sudo apt-get Install imagemagick
[14:03] <ruan> ActionParsnip: i get a loading DMI pool data screen which tells me CPU fan rpm, temp, voltage, etc, and it normally goes to boot from that screen
[14:03] <ruan> ActionParsnip: but it does nothing at the screen
[14:03] <osmosis_paul> it is possible change the date of creation of a file to make a test?\
[14:03] <ActionParsnip> ruan: ok then press ESC when the boot splash shows and you can see the boot messages
[14:03] <jrib> osmosis_paul: files don't have creation date stored anywhere
[14:04] <osmosis_paul> ok what is the date that is close of the name of the every file when you do ls
[14:04] <osmosis_paul> i mean that date
[14:04] <osmosis_paul> i want test this
[14:04] <osmosis_paul> find /mnt/ebs_volume/mysql_backup/ -type f -mtime +3 -exec rm {} \;
[14:05] <coz_> ruan,  I am getting nothing
[14:05] <ruan> coz_ i know my pc can run ubuntu because im on try mode of the liveCD right now
[14:05] <jrib> osmosis_paul: modification time
[14:05] <nibbler> can apache2 be configured to not save the full IP to the logfiles, but just the 2 or three first (or last) octets? mod_removeip is a bit too much for me
[14:05] <ruan> but i want to restart my pc at times
[14:05] <coz_> ruan,  right which makes this more puzzling
[14:05] <osmosis_paul> jrib, yes
[14:06] <jrib> osmosis_paul: yes, modification time is not necessarily the time a file was created
[14:06] <coz_> ruan,   as stupid as this may sound,  similar to "did you delete all of your cookies"  make sure all cables and wires are securly connected inside and out
[14:06] <ruan> coz_ cables cant really relate to installation
[14:07] <osmosis_paul> jrib, finally i google and i found this beauty function "find /mnt/ebs_volume/mysql_backup/ -type f -mtime +0 -exec rm {} \;" i need test it but i dont want remove any of my files older, only the ne ones that i created for the test
[14:07] <kmck> to get flash, don't you type ---->    sudo apt-get sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin and something else?
[14:07] <coz_> ruan,  I have seen very odd behavior with loose cables,,
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> kmck: don't you mean java?
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> !java | kmck
[14:07] <kmck> ActionParsnip: yes sorry
[14:07] <ruan> java is on package list
[14:07] <ActionParsnip> ruan: not without enabling partner repo first
[14:08] <ruan> synaptic works
[14:08] <kmck> my problem is, my terminal won't let me install java
[14:08] <osmosis_paul> kmck, go to source.list and uncoment all debian package, then use apt-get update and then try install again those package
[14:08] <silverlightning> hi
[14:08] <ActionParsnip> kmck: you need to enable the partner repo in software centre
[14:08] <jrib> osmosis_paul: so do it in a new directory.  But that command does not do what you asked.
[14:08] <coz_> kman__,   open synaptic package manager  go to "Settings"   "repositories"
[14:09] <silverlightning> is there a way to check the filesystem on ubuntu, and the boot register?
[14:09] <osmosis_paul> yes i just need change -f by -d and works with direcories
[14:09] <coz_> kman__, Click the "other software" tab and tick all boxes there
[14:09] <CharlieS1> I'm running default Samba 3.5 on Ubun tu 10.10. and I'm trying to get permissions right for point'n'print driver upload from a windows box.  So far no luck.  Anyone ever done this before?
[14:09] <coz_> kman__,  then close that dialog and  hit the :"Reload" button
[14:09] <silverlightning> I have a newly installed OS and a bit trouble booting
[14:09] <jrib> osmosis_paul: except it uses modification time which may or may not be sufficient for what you want to accomplish
[14:10] <coz_> kman__,  if you want sun java then hit Search  and type in   sun java   then install the sun-java6-plugin and it will pull down all you need,,
[14:10] <osmosis_paul> jrib, i know what you mean, so if someone read one of this files the date will change right?
[14:11] <nagel182> jrib, its installed
[14:11] <coz_> kman__,  if not sun java   hit search and type in     ubuntu restriced  and install the ubuntu-restricted-extas
[14:11] <jrib> osmosis_paul: hmm, no
[14:11] <dubey> ActionParsnip:  how about apt-cacher-ng ?
[14:11] <jrib> nagel182: now use it ;o
[14:11] <nagel182> jrib, how can i check it if works?
[14:11] <osmosis_paul> jrib, then why do you think is not what i want?
[14:11] <silverlightning> a major improvement in Maverick is that it manages the fan and cooling on my laptop much better than the others
[14:12] <jrib> osmosis_paul: because your question involved creation time
[14:12] <jrib> osmosis_paul: and you've set it up with your naming scheme so that that's actually feasible
[14:12] <silverlightning> if anything, it might run unnessecarily on high
[14:13] <nagel182> jrib, how can i check it if it works?
[14:13] <ruan> i still can't boot ubuntu though
[14:13] <jrib> nagel182: try using it to do something?
[14:14] <osmosis_paul> jrib, the script that i see using the name as date are crazy\
[14:14] <Da|Mummy> what are people using to check sfv files?
[14:14] <BIGBAMBU> how can hawe all video codec in ubuntu 10.10
[14:14] <jrib> osmosis_paul: well if this is sufficient for you then use it, only you can decide that
[14:14] <osmosis_paul> jrib, this way is quite simple, but i dont see why wont work it, i just want remove file/directories 5 days olders
[14:15] <nagel182> jrib, thats the thing i dont know it until i install magickwand for PHP, and thats another issue...
[14:15] <jrib> osmosis_paul: if a file gets modified, its mtime changes
[14:15] <jrib> nagel182: just use php5-imagick from apt
[14:16] <osmosis_paul> jrib, yes i asumm that, but gonna be only readable files so... maube the effor to use the other technique dont pay off
[14:16] <jrib> osmosis_paul: probably
[14:16] <jrib> osmosis_paul: again, it depends on your setup
[14:16] <osmosis_paul> jrib, anyway question again, how can i modify the modify date of a file to made this test, it is possible?
[14:16] <jrib> osmosis_paul: yes, you can use "touch"
[14:16] <ikonia> osmosis_paul: just touch the file

[14:18] <silverlightning> there used to be a way to do file check
[14:18] <dubey> What is the different between apt-mirror and apt-cache-ng ? Which on is better ?
[14:19] <silverlightning> something equivalent to CHKDSK?
[14:19] <Oer> fsck
[14:19] <kmck> when trying to enter this command into terminal --> add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" i get the error "must run as root" i've never gotten this before, what does this mean and how do i run as root?
[14:19] <silverlightning> thanks
[14:19] <ikonia> silverlightning: fsck
[14:19] <ikonia> kmck: use sudo
[14:19] <Da|Mummy> what are people using to check sfv files?
[14:20] <kmck> ikonia: like sudo add-apt-repository
[14:20] <silverlightning> in terminal sudo fsck?
[14:20] <ikonia> kmck: just prefix the command with sudo
[14:20] <silverlightning> and it will just check, not mess up?
[14:20] <ikonia> silverlightning: no, if you want to check your root file system you need to do it from a livecd
[14:20] <ikonia> silverlightning: if it's another file system you need to unount it and check the device, eg: sudo fsck /dev/sda2
[14:20] <silverlightning> hmm
[14:20] <nagel182> oh it works
[14:20] <nagel182> thank!
[14:20] <Oer> silverlightning, force fsck on boot > terminal :  touch /forcefsck   ( and reboot)

[14:23] <fumanchu182> Has anyone installed the 1.10 beta packages for sphinx on ubuntu without issues?
[14:23] <silverlightning> I tried to join the linux chat ,and they demand registration?
[14:23] <Pooch> I fixed it
[14:23] <Pooch> sorry about that
[14:23] <Pooch> was playing with scripts
[14:24] <mia158> dueby: apt-mirror is a small and efficient tool that lets you mirror a part of or the whole Debian GNU/Linux distribution or any other apt sources.
[14:24] <sburjan> Pooch:  ???
[14:24] <ruan> the waves hello spam?
[14:24] <sburjan> yeah
[14:24] <mia158> apt-cache performs a variety of operations on APT's package cache.  apt-cache does not manipulate the state of the system but does provide operations to search and generate interesting output from the package metadata.
[14:25] <ruan> can anyone else help me? i cant boot ubuntu off the hard drive
[14:25] <mew> hi¡¡
[14:25] <kmck> ok so this is what i meant sorry guys! when i type in the sudo apt-get install java6 ect.. it gives me this "Package sun-java6-jre is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[14:25] <kmck> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[14:25] <kmck> is only available from another source
[14:25] <kmck> E: Package sun-java6-jre has no installation candidate"
[14:25] <FloodBot3> kmck: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:26] <Pooch> yea the waves spam

[14:26] <Pooch> didnt realize it would do that on every channel
[14:27] <mia158> ruan: what happens when you boot your system?
[14:28] <ruan> mia158: it gets to a loading DMI pool data screen and it stays there
[14:28] <ruan> mia158: basically, it doesnt boot
[14:28] <mia158> thihs system worked before?
[14:28] <ruan> mia158: yes
[14:28] <mia158> what changed recently?
[14:29] <ruan> mia158: i removed windows and tried to install ubuntu
[14:29] <ruan> well, ubuntu removed windows for me
[14:29] <ruan> during installation
[14:29] <ruan> but it doesnt boot, and i've tried reinstalling 4 times
[14:29] <milamber> !info sun-java6-jre | kmck
[14:30] <lutoma_> oO
[14:30] <mia158> If you hold the shift key during boot do you get into recovery mode?
[14:30] <ruan> mia158: no, it does nothing
[14:30] <milamber> kmck: what version of ubuntu?
[14:30] <kmck> milamber: 10.04 LTS
[14:31] <mia158> does the sytem pass POST tests?
[14:31] <ruan> yes
[14:31] <kmck> milamber: i just ran sudo apt-get update and it gave me this
[14:31] <ruan> i think
[14:31] <kmck> W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid/partner Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_dists_lucid_partner_binary-i386_Packages)
[14:31] <mia158> how many video inputs are there on the system?
[14:31] <ruan> i've ran a memory and disk test
[14:31] <kmck> W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid/partner Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.canonical.com_dists_lucid_partner_binary-i386_Packages)
[14:31] <kmck> W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
[14:31] <ruan> i dont know, i only have one graphics card and monitor though
[14:32] <mia158> what is the exact error message?
[14:32] <minttux> i lost my home parttion i just run fsck /dev/sda6 and after that i lost my /  and home partition :-( i got some inode errors
[14:32] <milamber> kmck: sudo apt-get clean
[14:32] <ruan> no error
[14:32] <ruan> it just doesnt boot
[14:33] <kmck> milamber: your the best!! :D
[14:33] <jatt> minttux: recover the data from your backup
[14:33] <CheekyBabe> aloha
[14:33] <milamber> kmck: everything working?
[14:34] <minttux>  jatt: you are very smart. if i have backup i didn't come here. i didn't know scan disk in linux damage partition instead of fix it
[14:34] <jatt> minttux: then the information in your home partition wasn't important, just create a new empty partition
[14:34] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[14:34] <jatt> minttux: replace the disk
[14:35] <mia158> ruan: you can try setting your BIOS settings back to factory defaults then rebooting
[14:35] <kmck> milamber: so far like a charm! :) is it ok that i have firefox and this chat and some other things open while it's downloading and installing?
[14:35] <minttux> jatt:it was very important . but i said . i didn't know in LINUX scan disk damage partitions .
[14:35] <kmck> i just don't want to have firefox open and have that mess up the java plugin
[14:35] <minttux> i don't have any probmlem but i did fsck
[14:35] <minttux> :-(
[14:35] <ikonia> minttux: you appear to be running mint, not ubuntu
[14:36] <milamber> kmck: you probably don't *have* to, but i would close firefox (and anything else that would want to use java) while it is installing
[14:36] <minttux> ikonia: you said it because my nickname?
[14:36] <ikonia> minttux: one of the reasons, yes
[14:37] <minttux> ikonia: no . i have ubuntu. and another question . what different between ubuntu and mint except backgrounds and theme ?
[14:38] <ikonia> minttux: there are differnces and it's more than themes,
[14:38] <kmck> milamber: ok can you help with another question?
[14:38] <minttux>  ikonia: but it's not refer to fsck and partitions
[14:38] <milamber> kmck: i can try
[14:38] <ikonia> minttux: are you using mint or ubuntu
[14:40] <silverlightning> hi again
[14:40] <minttux> ikonia: i'm using mint . maybe you want to say here is ubuntu channel and you should not ask here.and this is mint problem . but i don't think so . because i installed applications from ubuntu repository . and find and solve the problems from ubuntu forum
[14:40] <ikonia> minttux: ok I don't like being lied to
[14:41] <silverlightning> I could not make the touch/forcefsck work?
[14:41] <ikonia> !mint | minttux
[14:41] <ikonia> minttux: please use the correct support resources
[14:41] <kmck> ok so my update manager shows me that Ubuntu 10.10 is available...but when i go to upgrade and it get to the second step "setting new software channels" i get a box that pops up that says:
[14:41] <kmck> an unresolvable problem occured while calculating the upgrade:
[14:41] <kmck> E:Error, pkgProblemResover::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused b y held package
[14:42] <minttux> but i don't think so this problem refer to mint and here ; there are more users
[14:42] <minttux> but i tried that channel too
[14:42] <jrib> kmck: if you have xserver-xorg-video-nouveau installed, uninstall it
[14:42] <ikonia> minttux: no, use the mint channel only, not here
[14:42] <milamber> kmck: have you tried that since running the clean command?
[14:42] <silverlightning> mint linux? any good on laptops?
[14:42] <ikonia> silverlightning: no better/worse than ubuntu
[14:42] <kmck> yes i just tried now and same thing happened
[14:42] <kmck> milamber: and you mean the apt-get clean
[14:42] <kmck> jrib:  don't know what that is... don't think i have it?
[14:42] <minttux>  ikonia: but it's truth the most of user here not pro and usually they can't help
[14:42] <jrib> kmck: it's a package.
[14:43] <milamber> kmck: yes
[14:43] <ikonia> minttux: that is not this channels problem, use the mint channel
[14:43] <minttux> like you
[14:43] <ikonia> minttux: like me what ?
[14:43] <kmck> milamber: should i try restarting and running it again and seeing if i can update after or is a restart not the answer to all my problems today? :P
[14:44] <mia158> ruan: are you rebooting your system?
[14:44] <jrib> kmck: just remove the package I told you
[14:45] <kmck> jrib: from synaptic package manager
[14:45] <minttux> ikonia: like you when can't help just look for reason to don't answer the question while they know exactly the problems refer to softwares not distribute
[14:45] <juniour> hey iam no t able to install ubuntu 10.04 via virtual box it give me an error "this kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. unable to boot - please use akernel appropriate for your cpu.

[14:46] <ikonia> minttux: I'm more than capable of helping you, however I don't like being lied to. This is the last time I will say this to you. We do not support you with mint here, use the mint support channels
[14:47] <juniour> hey help me?
[14:47] <minttux> ikonia:i understand it and not need to repeat also you are not whole of user here and also you are not the boss of this channel . i don't help from you . ok ? if you know the answer and can help me. i don't want it . clear ?
[14:48] <BluesKaj> juniour, use 64 bit ubuntu,  x86-64
[14:48] <kmck> milamber: ok i found a xserver-xorg-video-nouveau and it has a green box next to it remove that one?
[14:48] <juniour> hey iam no t able to install ubuntu 10.04 via virtual box it give me an error "this kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. unable to boot - please use akernel appropriate for your cpu.
[14:48] <milamber> kmck: yessum
[14:48] <Guest81572> does anyone know how to mute the audio of a video? I've used ffmpeg and it makes the quality of the video crap
[14:49] <kmck> milamber: 'mark for complete removal'  ??
[14:49] <Pumpkin-> juniour: easiest solution, use the i386 ubuntu distribution (32bit).
[14:49] <teweWork> if i accidentally run out of ram my computer hangs, even the mouse doesn't move, it takes 5 mins to get to console and another 5 min to kill an app to free some memory, is this the intended behaviour? :) and btw i have 4GB swap and the max usage is 100MB
[14:49] <milamber> kmck: yes
[14:49] <juniour> why it is telling like that
[14:49] <juniour> ?
[14:49] <juniour> any ans
[14:49] <juniour> ?
[14:49] <FloodBot3> juniour: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:50] <compdoc> teweWork, its not behaviour I would intend in any OS
[14:50] <BluesKaj> juniour, I already told you to use 64bit ubuntu , not the 32 bit version
[14:50] <juniour> Pumpkin- Linux kumar-VGN-FW53GF-B 2.6.35-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 17:40:44 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux
[14:50] <iceroot_> juniour: enable vt-x if you want amd64 for the vms
[14:50] <BluesKaj> !64bit
[14:51] <krger> Heh.
[14:51] <iceroot_> juniour: its a setting in vbox
[14:51] <Pumpkin-> BluesKaj: the error vbox is giving though says "only a i686 CPU". That isn't going work with 64bit.
[14:51] <krger> They're both fully-supported.
[14:51] <teweWork> compdoc: yeah i guessed that :) any idea to solve the issue or what to look for?
[14:51] <krger> But the website recommends 32-bit for desktop.
[14:51] <juniour> Blueskaj my system is 64 bit
[14:51] <Williams> Hi everyone! I have a problem with mkv playback (1080p, even 720p). I'm using SMPlayer and my laptop handles these mkv files in windows no problem. So this is a problem with linux. The video is lagging sometimes... Please help
[14:51] <Pumpkin-> but I imagine its a vbox setting on CPU features to expose.
[14:51] <juniour> how can i use 32 bit
[14:52] <compdoc> teweWork, I work on lots of computers, and never see them run out of memory like that. how are you managing it?
[14:52] <iceroot_> juniour: i told you what the reason is, you are not using vt-x technologie in virtualbox, so vbox is using 32bit instead of what your cpu can do
[14:52] <BluesKaj> juniour, sry , I'm mistaken
[14:52] <DMDean> does anyone know how to mute the audio of a video? I've used ffmpeg and it makes the quality of the video crap
[14:52] <teweWork> compdoc: right now i always check if i have enouhg memory before running eclipse for example
[14:52] <Williams> Hi everyone! I have a problem with mkv playback (1080p, even 720p). I'm using SMPlayer and my laptop handles these mkv files in windows no problem. So this is a problem with linux. The video is lagging sometimes... Please help
[14:53] <osmosis_paul>  somebody know why this command can not remove folders, "find $APACHE_BACKUP -type d -mtime +5 -exec rm {} \;" i read i several place that it is possible change the parameter f (file) for (d) directory
[14:53] <erUSUL> osmosis_paul: rm -r
[14:53] <adub_> i am not getting hdmi sound nor analog through ubuntu 10.04 installed latest alsa drivers also i have unmuted everything in alsa mixer and tried two different sets of speakers for the analog side.  I am only working with one hdmi cable tho so i cant test that part but still the analog side is weird
[14:54] <edwardteach> DMDean, do you mean strip a video of its audio ?
[14:54] <drt4923> osmosis_paul: maybe the directories arent empty?
[14:54] <DMDean> edwardteach, yup exactly that
[14:54] <osmosis_paul> ahhhhh so simple
[14:54] <compdoc> bb shortly
[14:54] <juniour> is there any thing like nokia pc suit in ubuntu so that you can send or read mess or call via laptop
[14:54] <k_sze> With the ftp(1) command, what's the difference between (auto-)login and (auto-)authentication (i.e. the -n and -u options)?
[14:56] <edwardteach> DMDean, ffmpeg can do that, it should not be afecting your though what command are you using ?
[14:56] <juniour> is there any thing like nokia pc suit in ubuntu so that you can send or read mess or call via laptop
[14:57] <mia158> juniour: look @ wammu and gammu
[14:57] <DMDean> edwardteach, ffmpeg -i /home/dean/Desktop/Video0016.mp4 -an -b 1200 OutputFile.mp4 I did that and it did strip the audio of the video but my brother said it compressed the video which made the quality turn rubbish
[14:58] <inckie> i have a problem with my ubuntu, my computer has an internal speaker which is the only one i can get audio from, when i plug something into the rear jacks, the sound still comes out of the internel speaker. i tried installing the ALSAmixer and unmuted AUX and line in and increased volume to 100%
[14:58] <inckie> in Windows the internal speaker disabled as soon as i plug something into the rear jack
[14:58] <silverlightning> is there an isoburner for ubuntu?
[14:59] <inckie> it's built in
[14:59] <silverlightning> where ? brassero?
[14:59] <milamber> !burniso | silverlightning
[14:59] <inckie> silverlightning: ye
[14:59] <inckie> right click on an iso file
[14:59] <inckie> and "write to disk"
[14:59] <silverlightning> I can't find any?
[14:59] <inckie> silverlightning: install it
[14:59] <inckie> then
[14:59] <FloodBot3> inckie: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[14:59] <DenverDave> greetings.. is there a way to run windows apps from a bootable Windows HD when I have booted to my Ubuntu HD? Or am I looking at wine?
[15:00] <silverlightning> hmm
[15:01] <extraclassic> I had dovecot and postfix running, but wanted to turn them off at boot time so I ran update-rc.d....when I rebooted though it still says all those ports are open and I want to close them
[15:02] <douwe> hey, im trying to install spotify with wine, but each time i run the .exe file it says its executable so i cant install it... anyone who can help?
[15:03] <ikonia> douwe: the guys in #winehq are the best support group for it
[15:03] <douwe> ikonia: okey, thanks, ill try there
[15:04] <edwardteach> DMDean, have you tried it with out the -b option?
[15:05] <fumanchu182> I am having a hellacious time with dpkg and apt-get install.  The package failed to install and I want to remove it, but dpkg or apt-get won't let me.  Where do I even begin with this type of an issue?
[15:05] <DMDean> edwardteach, is that not what I used?
[15:05] <Oer> douwe there is a linux version of spotify > http://www.spotify.com/int/download/previews/
[15:06] <delinquentme> so ive got some firefox weirdness going on .. basically it says its already running .. when i dont have a ff screen to play with
[15:06] <delinquentme> so .. how do i kill it all and start over .. or are there other options like a task manager
[15:06] <memoryleak> sometimes firefox process hangs
[15:06] <memoryleak> killall firefox
[15:07] <hardhead> I'm trying to partition my Hard Drivr in order to throw UBUNTU SERVER on the bulk of the disk but I cant get the gparted partition manager to work is there any easier partitioner to use?
[15:07] <rumpe1> hardhead, easier? o.O   don't think so
[15:07] <extraclassic> hardhead: you could use the install program to do it
[15:07] <delinquentme> memoryleak, not looking like thats working
[15:08] <edwardteach> DMDean, you said "-an -b 1200" options?
[15:08] <DenverDave> is there a way to run windows apps from a bootable Windows HD when I have booted to my Ubuntu HD? Or am I looking at wine? or using isobox?
[15:08] <memoryleak> delinquentme: top - and look for firefox
[15:08] <DMDean> edwardteach, yeah I don't really know what that means I just read it on the internet so I typed it in lol
[15:08] <jack__> DenverDave: if you're trying to run .exe files you'll need to use wine or some other kinda of win emulater
[15:08] <milamber> delinquentme: you can also try:  ps aux | grep firefox
[15:08] <delinquentme> memoryleak, its definitely not there
[15:09] <compdoc> cant run many windows programs that way
[15:09] <delinquentme> milamber, that looks bamf
[15:09] <DenverDave> jack__ yea I thought so .. my poker programs are not supported on any linux but love ubuntu now
[15:09] <edwardteach> DMDean, man ffmpeg for the destructions
[15:09] <memoryleak> delinquentme: last idea 'ps waux | grep firefox'
[15:10] <DenverDave> but I didnt want to have to move a postrgres db and other tools over to ubuntu being the lazy geek I am
[15:10] <milamber> delinquentme: glad you like it. did you find your process id?
[15:10] <delinquentme> nope!
[15:10] <delinquentme> just hangs
[15:10] <DenverDave> jack__ thanks
[15:10] <DMDean> edwardteach, sorry what does that mean? lol
[15:10] <JuJuBee> is there a utility to tell what type of RAM is in a computer (other than removing the case)?
[15:11] <hardhead> rumpe1: why wont the manager let me tranfer an amount of gigs to the actual partition i'm making I'm following the steps but it will only allow me to get 1 GIG out of it
[15:11] <jack__> JuJuBee: i highly doubt it. you can try dmidecode
[15:11] <edwardteach> !man | DMDean,
[15:11] <hachal> !mint
[15:11] <JuJuBee> jack__: thanks, worth a try
[15:11] <milamber> delinquentme: does the process hang or does it not return anything? does it dump you back at the prompt?
[15:12] <bastidrazor> JuJuBee: sudo lshw -c memory :: will give some helpful information
[15:12] <delinquentme> milamber, doesnt return anything and doesnt return me to prompt
[15:12] <varun_> hi
[15:12] <delinquentme> blinky cursor and thats it .. ctrl+ c doesnt work either
[15:13] <milamber> delinquentme: try just: ps aux
[15:13] <JuJuBee> jack__: dmidecode tells me it is ddr2 533mhz, good enough for me...
[15:13] <jack__> JuJuBee: :)
[15:13] <JuJuBee> same with bastidrazor suggestion
[15:13] <JuJuBee> thanks to both
[15:14] <StevenTyler> how do you mount an iso to /cdrom/ in ubuntu netbook?
[15:14] <delinquentme> milamber, it comes up there!
[15:14] <milamber> delinquentme: ok: kill -9 <processid>
[15:15] <delinquentme> milamber, do i need to exit that to the prompt first?
[15:15] <JuJuBee> StevenTyler: sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 /path/to/iso.iso /media/iso/
[15:15] <JuJuBee> or whatever mount point you create for it...
[15:15] <bastidrazor> JuJuBee: you're welcome.
[15:16] <delinquentme> milamber, exited it .. tried it .. returned me ot prompt
[15:16] <delinquentme> still no luck starting FF
[15:16] <k_sze> With ftp(1), what's the -f option for? The man page says it forwards the credentials to the remote host; isn't it necessary to forward the credentials to the remote host to get authenticated in any case? Or is it some other form of forwarding credentials?
[15:17] <milamber> delinquentme: ps aux should just list what processes are running and dump you back to the prompt. what you really need is the process id (PID) of firefox. when you did the ps aux did you see firefox?
[15:17] <g_0_0> delinquentme, have you tried simply - pkill firefox  ??
[15:18] <delinquentme> milamber, so thje PID was 2101
[15:18] <delinquentme> i did the " kill -9 2101 "
[15:19] <Pici> k_sze: I don't see that option on the manpage for ftp.
[15:19] <Lungan> Having a big trouble. My Ubuntcomputer can't boot. Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/XXXXXXXXX does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
[15:20] <Doc0C> Lungan  this a new install or an existing one?
[15:20] <k_sze> Pici: oh, looks like the Ubuntu version of ftp doesn't have that options. I was reading http://linux.die.net/man/1/ftp
[15:20] <Pici> k_sze: For reference, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/ has the same manpages that exist in Ubuntu.
[15:21] <Lungan> Doc0C, I had an old install, but now it updated the kernel. And it did work for 2-3 days. And now i get that error and even if I use and old kernel it doesn't work
[15:21] <jason_> hellow
[15:21] <jason_> hi there
[15:22] <milamber> delinquentme: . . . how are things going?
[15:22] <Doc0C> Lungan  looks like your fstab got fubar'ed somehow. Take a look at /etc/fstab
[15:23] <Lungan> Doc0C, Yep, the fstab seems corrupt. But I did try to fix it but got the same problem, maybe I can post my fstab in PM to you and then u can have a look at it?
[15:23] <k_sze> My god, the HK Ubuntu repository mirror is so slow.
[15:24] <Doc0C> Lungan  pastebin it
[15:26] <test001> hi, do you know if there is some to logically unplug/replug and usb wireless device ? I use usb wireless but sometimes it disconnects from network and the only way to make it work again is restart computer
[15:26] <Homefix> where could i go with a little help understanding this:compile a new start-stop-daemon with the patch added that is available below (the “dpkg” source package provides start-stop-daemon)
[15:27] <ZipTye> Test001 what model usb wireless device?
[15:27] <test001> it's a pheenet
[15:27] <test001> with a panel antenna
[15:27] <mew> join jaje
[15:28] <milamber> !compile | Homefix not exactly sure what you are looking for/trying to do as a package automagically installs and compiling from source is so different:
[15:28] <Doc0C> Homefix  I'm confused by your question. Please be more detailed
[15:28] <test001> ziptye It's a pheenet high power 802.11  don't know more about the model
[15:29] <test001> ziptye it's this one: http://www.wifigear.co.uk/pheenet-high-power-usb-adapter-10dbi-panel-antenna
[15:30] <DrPoO> how can i get the IP of a given URL???
[15:30] <silverlightning> ubuntu is slow on my computer
[15:30] <silverlightning> sluggish
[15:30] <jpds> DrPoO: host $hostname of URL.
[15:30] <Pici> DrPoO: host hostname or dig hostname for more ifo
[15:30] <jpds> DrPoO: Such as: $ host bbc.co.uk
[15:30] <DrPoO> nice thnx guys!
[15:31] <Lungan> Doc0C, Heres the fstab http://pastebin.com/eLqX2La2
[15:31] <hardhead> I have devices connected to the main drive I'm trying to partition and i cant unmount in order to resize - how do i unmount them manually.
[15:31] <ZipTye> Hm i have never herd of that one. I have a WUSB54 and WUSB54GC Linksys USB Wireless adapters and i always seemed to have my connection drop. i tried both ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10 and still had the problem so i tried different distros and for some reason it works ok in Linux Mint 10 and i have herd on the forums it is working under the newist beta
[15:31] <MrEgg964> hey, I'm trying to install Maverick on a Sandy Bridge, but I'm getting an error. Has anyone done this here?
[15:31] <delinquentme> milamber, im just gonna reboot :D but thanks for you time very very much :D
[15:31] <Eduard> Hello guys, I Would like to ask, is it possible to have multiple python installations on 10.10?
[15:31] <ZipTye> newest ubuntu beta that is
[15:31] <milamber> delinquentme: any time. sorry i couldn't be more help.
[15:32] <Eduard> That is without breaking anything
[15:32] <silverlightning> is it worth replacng the harddisk in an old laptop?
[15:32] <silverlightning> or get a new computer right away
[15:33] <silverlightning> I am tired of fiddeling with ubuntu
[15:33] <Doc0C> Lungan  that is very messed up, like it got replaced by an example file
[15:33] <hardhead> How do I Unmount a partition manually???
[15:33] <silverlightning> I have heard Acer and Dell have laptops designed for both Ubuntu and Windows
[15:33] <Lungan> Doc0C, How should i fix it? The "xxx" and "yyy" har uuid numbers
[15:33] <Eduard> erm, anyone? any ideas???
[15:34] <edwardteach> Eduard, yes
[15:34] <rzx237> hardhead: first you type command df and find a line that point to your drive
[15:34] <secretary_linux> hardhead: where path is the path to the mountpoint or to the device, sudo umount /path/
[15:34] <Doc0C> Lungan  fdisk can tell you the actual devices of your file systems. Then edit fstab to reflect actual devices
[15:34] <Eduard> edwardteach, is it possible to have multiple python installations on 10.10 without breaking anything?
[15:34] <Lungan> But what should I change to make it correct?
[15:34] <test001> ziptye ok, thank you very much !  :)
[15:34] <Lungan> Doc0C, Which line is wrong?
[15:35] <Homefix> Doc0C: sorry my kid had an issue:..i am running lucid in a chroot and "upstart" will not "start" im trying to follow this:http://gyp.blogs.balabit.com/2011/01/using-upstart-in-a-chroot/.......... toward the bottom is a workaround but i dont know how what to compile or how I wrote this and this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932754 is what i am doing
[15:35] <DrPoO> My terminal colour scheme broke, Now files and directories look the same... How can I fix this?
[15:35] <silverlightning> does anyone have a laptop with ubuntu that works trouble free?
[15:35] <Doc0C> The xxxxxx and yyyyyy should be actual devices, like /dev/sda1 and such
 I have 4
[15:35] <test001> ziptye so maybe it will work fine in next ubuntu 11.04
[15:35] <silverlightning> oh, I am emvious dr poo
[15:35] <silverlightning> weird nick
[15:35] <DrPoO> lol
[15:36] <Lungan> Doc0C, Yeah, but the xxx is in fact a realy long combination of numbers and letter, but the computer doesn't have internet ATM so i didn't take the time too write it down
[15:36] <spmccann> silverlightning:  yep, but that probably doesnt help you
[15:36] <silverlightning> it does
[15:36] <Lungan> Doc0C, The linuxsystem is on /dev/sda1
[15:36] <silverlightning> I mean, I will not give up on ubuntu entirely
[15:36] <edwardteach> Eduard, yes  you have to use them specifically .. #!/bin/usr/python3.1  or   #!/bin/usr/python
[15:37] <Doc0C> Lungan  well, without the actual fstab entries, I don't know how to help you
[15:37] <spmccann> silverlightning:  well i'm running a lenovo t61 intel chip set everything worked out of the box
[15:38] <Hill> hiiiii
[15:38] <spmccann> silverlightning:  i take it that you are having some problems
[15:38] <Bushman_> hmm...
[15:38] <Doc0C> Lungan  ok, so dmesg is saying /dev/sda1 doesn't exist?
[15:38] <Hill> fuck allllllllll?
[15:38] <jatt> what is better DSL or fiber?
[15:38] <DrPoO> My terminal colour scheme broke, Now files and directories look the same... How can I fix this?
[15:38] <Bushman_> i have no video display (only sound) when playing matroska on kaffeine
[15:38] <Pici> jatt: Thats not really on-topic for this channel, #ubuntu-offtopic or perhaps ##networking would be more appropriate.
[15:38] <Doc0C> Drp
[15:39] <Lungan> Doc0C, This is the exactly copy of my FSTAB http://pastebin.com/YkhrageM
[15:39] <grizly21> hi
[15:39] <Bushman_> the video plays in totem but not in kaffeine
[15:39] <silverlightning> yes, but it might not be ubuntu's fault
[15:39] <hardhead> rzx237: this is the message I get in Gparted (Most likely other partitions are also mounted on these mount points. You are advised to unmount them manually.) I tried to unmount in terminal but it wont except the command - any ideas?
[15:39] <silverlightning> spmccann
[15:40] <edwardteach> DrPoO,  what did you do to change it?
[15:40] <BiPolah> hardhead: Are  you using sudo?
[15:40] <Doc0C> DrPoO  probably just borked your aliases in your .bashrc or .bash_profile. Try temporarily renaming them and see if your dircolors show up
[15:40] <cntb> hi all , I very much like to use 2 finger scrolling as in my mac and w7 http://mixeduperic.com/linux/ubuntu-1004-how-to-setup-two-finger-scroll-on-laptop-touch-pad.html gives idea how to do and maybe I ma not doing right because it doesn not do as expected anyone dealed with it

[15:40] <Djoef> Hi, I am installing Ubuntu 10.10. I have a partition for Windows, a partition for Data and an unpartitioned space where I want to install ubuntu. I went into the manual mode, and added a partition that takes the rest of the drive (+/- 30GB) Is this OK ? or do I need to create 2 partitions ? And what should I choose for the boot loader?
[15:41] <rzx237> hardhead: how many partition do you have on the drive?
[15:41] <silverlightning> something weird going on with my network
[15:41] <blue112> Hi hre.
[15:41] <blue112> here*
[15:41] <silverlightning> hi blue112
[15:41] <rzx237> hardhead: you can type df to check it
[15:42] <silverlightning> 112 is emergency phone to the firestation here
[15:42] <blue112> :p
[15:42] <silverlightning> lol
[15:42]  * blue112 is not a fireman
[15:42] <ZipTye> ha
[15:42] <koolhead11> waoo PAM is cool. fianlly managed it
[15:42] <sacarlson> Djoef: 30g is big enuf,  you might want to  create a swap partition but it's not manditory
[15:42] <Lungan> Doc0C, Can you se anything wrong with the fstab?
[15:43] <koolhead11> now i need another suggestion i want to lockdown my ubuntu to kiosk mode
[15:43] <Doc0C> Lungan  so it is saying /dev/sda1 does not exist?
[15:43] <BiPolah> Djoef: You should have a swap partition of at least 2GB
[15:43] <Doc0C> No it looks right
[15:43] <hardhead> rzx237: I think 3 other 10/dev/sda2[extended]-----20/dev/sda5[linux-swap]-----30unalocated
[15:43] <silverlightning> oh? I have no swap
[15:43] <Lungan> Doc0C, It says "Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/8ace2d24... does not exist. Dropping to a shell
[15:43] <cntb> http://pastebin.com/V2L1y9t2
[15:43] <silverlightning> maybe that is way ubuntu is acting up here?
[15:44] <Lungan> Doc0C, Don't know where /disk/by-uuid/ come from :S
[15:44] <Assid> hey
[15:44] <rzx237> hardhead: you need to do umount /dev/sda3; umount /dev/sda5 and all that point to /dev/sda* in order to repartition sda
[15:44] <Doc0C> Lungan  probably from initrd
[15:44] <Assid> wassup my crazy peeps
[15:45]  * Assid is waiting for the next release party
[15:45] <Assid> i got MORE bandwith
[15:45] <Lungan> Doc0C, Okok, have any clue whats wrong?
[15:45] <Pici> Assid: Do you have a support question? If not, the social channel here is #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[15:45] <hardhead> rzx237: whats the command because I'm typing in sudo unmount /dev/then path and its not working
[15:46] <Assid> hrmm.. nah
