[18:30] <parapan_> hi there, I have problems with file permissions ...
[18:31] <dmasq> what's the problem?
[18:32] <Decksmasher> Hi guys...ive just installed fuduntu i think its a federa distro?    but anyway when i try the apt-get install command in the terminal it sais i cant run bin/bash commands, some help would be great thanks.
[18:32] <bazhang> Decksmasher, fedora does not use apt
[18:32] <parapan_> under ubuntu <i've mounted a ntfs partition / I can read write on it ...but what I write has permisssions 700 only linux user full access, nothing to group, nothing to others; problem is permissions cannot be changed
[18:33] <auronandace> Decksmasher: fuduntu is not supported here
[18:33] <bazhang> Decksmasher, #fedora is the correct channel NOT here
[18:34] <Decksmasher> ok...i just thought becouse it was a linux distro the command would be the same..thanks anyway
[18:35] <dmasq> Decksmasher: aptitude isn't on all linux boxes.. you'll find yum and several others out there
[18:35] <zykotick9> Decksmasher: there is actually a #fuduntu channel here on freenode (might be better then trying #fedora)
[18:35] <LucidGuy> I have an Ubuntu system that was setup for ldap auth.  I no longer want ldap auth and the changes i've made to common-auth seem fine and all is working login wise.  Yet once you lock the system you are unable to log back in...  anyone know what is causing this?  Driving me crazy.
[18:37] <filo1234> !html
[18:37] <doda1> hi folks
[18:37] <filo1234> bazhang: whats screem? ^
[18:37] <filo1234> bazhang: it doesn't in repos?
[18:37] <dell> filo1234: are you asking about the program?
[18:37] <Decksmasher> ok thanks will try it    zykotick9   dmasq
[18:38] <auronandace> !info screem | filo1234
[18:38] <dell> !info sreen | filo1234
[18:38] <filo1234> auronandace: well I'm asking for that
[18:38] <dell> lol
[18:38] <dell> !info screen | filo1234
[18:38] <filo1234> dell: screem not screen OMG
[18:39] <filo1234> like ubottu said for html factoid
[18:39] <dell> I have no idea what scream is
[18:39] <filo1234> dell: me too, but I read screem above and I'm searchin out of curiosity..
[18:40] <fernandocueva> what ascii filter options should I put for a plain text document
[18:40] <auronandace> filo1234: might be a typo
[18:40] <filo1234> auronandace: ?
[18:40] <dell> filo1234: it says screem is in the python-statgrab repo
[18:41] <dell> package not repo sorry
[18:41] <auronandace> filo1234: a typo: a spelling mistake
[18:41] <filo1234> auronandace: I don't think so http://www.screem.org/
[18:41] <auronandace> filo1234: cool, thanks
[18:42] <filo1234> np
[18:42] <filo1234> but it isn't in the official repos
[18:42] <filo1234> well
[18:42] <amarcolino> can someone quickly tell me the command to force users to input their own password on login
[18:42] <Pici> !html =~ s/, Screem//
[18:42] <Pici> filo1234: and its not in the factoid anymore either.
[18:42] <doda1> hi folks
[18:42] <filo1234> Pici: lol I see
[18:43] <Metaphysicist> With the smartmontools, is it possible to have it scan all attached devices without having to specify sda, sdb, sdc, etc?
[18:43] <dell> filo1234: apt-cache search it, mine brought up the python-statgrab
[18:44] <filo1234> dell: it doesn't the same package
[18:45] <auronandace> dell: were you spelling scream rather than screem
[18:45] <Pici> dell: it hasn't been in Ubuntu since 8.04.
[18:45] <doda1> i have an idea for an ubuntu feature, currently when i install ubuntu without mounting other drives i need to open them manually, which kinda messes up with programs that might use the drives, wouldn't be cool to have an automounting feature?
[18:46] <dell> ah ok I see that now
[18:47] <bastidrazor> doda1: add them to fstab and they will mount during boot.
[18:48] <doda1> yeah i KNOW that
[18:48] <doda1> but that is no user expirience :)
[18:52] <dell> how do I restart samba in the terminal in Ubuntu?
[18:53] <vlt> dell: I think `service samba restart`
[18:53] <Pici> dell: should be: sudo service samba restart
[18:53] <dmasq> dell: /etc/init.d/samba restart
[18:53] <dmasq> (test the service version first)
[18:57] <urlgrim> Could someone help me out with my X issue

[19:00] <dr3mro> hello ,, how to change permission of /dev/null to 666 every boot .. using chmod only during current session but it's reset upon boot
[19:00] <fernandocueva> maybe someone is waiting for you to leave to start hacking
[19:00] <bazhang> !ot | fernandocueva
[19:01] <vlt> dr3mro: Should be 666 by default. What did you mess up?
[19:02] <dr3mro> vlt, i don't know but suddenly lightdm fails and i have to set /dev/null to 666 to make it work using vt but that is realy bad
[19:03] <vlt> dr3mro: /etc/rc.local
[19:03] <vlt> dr3mro: (But that doesn’t fix what caused that.)
[19:03] <dr3mro> vlt, is there a way to know what is the cause
[19:04] <dr3mro> vlt, on every boot it is reset again and i get permission denied
[19:05] <becom33> I can't seems find my skype in ubuntu . I logged in to the skype and close it from the top right coner close button . now I see people coming online offline but I cant find the skype window . help ?
[19:05] <mirko1> dr3mro: did you made any udev related changes or anything in /etc/fstab?
[19:06] <Shane-S> does sudo apt-get install linux-source get me Ubuntu modded source, or the same as going to kernels.org (I am trying to get a new netboot running via a PXE boot and Ubuntu 11 works on it, but not the kernel 3.3 from kernels.org)
[19:06] <dr3mro> yes I have a udev rule for my usb modem only
[19:06] <mirko1> becom33: icon in the systemtray?
[19:07] <mirko1> dr3mro: did you add that right before the problem appeared?
[19:07] <dr3mro> mirko1, no
[19:09] <mirko1> dr3mro: some pages on the 'net suggest to manually recreate it. first "sudo rm /dev/null" then "sudo mknod -m 0666 /dev/null c 1 3"
[19:10] <dansul> hello
[19:10] <dansul> If I install ubuntu 12.04 now, will I be able to upgrade to 12.04 stable when it's released ?
[19:10] <bazhang> !final | dansul
[19:10] <mirko1> Shane-S: no, most distro (including ubuntu) use modified kernels and it's advisable to use them instead of the vanila one from kernel.org. or you learn (tuts on the net) how to build  an ubuntu kernel from the vanilla one.
[19:11] <dr3mro> mirko1, I did find that but upon reboot .. the same issue happens again
[19:11] <dansul> thanks
[19:12] <mneptok> Shane-S: kernel.org (no 's')
[19:12] <qbert_> do you guys use any deferred / future / promises libs ?  If so what do ya'll use ?
[19:13] <Shane-S> mirko1: so is there a way to get the modified kernel easily? I am want to see if I can use it in the PXE system to get the netbook to load (all so I am image it)
[19:13] <qbert_> whoops wrong channel
[19:13] <mneptok> Shane-S: add the source repos in /etc/apt/sources.list and then get the -source paclages
[19:13] <SubstreamAI> Deja Dup and Ubuntu One... wt? is going on with this... what is it doing?  Where is the backup???
[19:14] <SubstreamAI> Why can't I delete old backups and start over?
[19:14] <mneptok> Shane-S: rather, just uncomment source lines in sources.list
[19:14] <SubstreamAI> What is who thinking on this design... what is it doing????
[19:14] <Shane-S> mneptok: okay, but they will .deb packages right? I am not familiar with them, are they just as easy to extract a tar.gz?
[19:15] <Elfe> can I scroll back when looking at a manual in cli? Like man rmdir for example.
[19:15] <mneptok> Shane-S: the source files get unpacked for you. you actually never touch a .deb during this process. go look in your filesystem when done.
[19:16] <mneptok> Elfe: the arrow keys do not work?
[19:16] <Fyodorovna> SubstreamAI, if you want a gui and accessible backups try grsync.
[19:17] <Elfe> mneptok: no, just space or enter, but they only go forward :)
[19:17] <SubstreamAI> I'm not married to the idea of having a gui... I just want to know what its doing... where is the backup???
[19:17] <SubstreamAI> before I can try something else, I want to clean up what I have
[19:17] <Elfe> mneptok: I'm in terminal without any GUI
[19:18] <SubstreamAI> I don't like having multiple gigs of backups that I can't find
[19:18] <Elfe> mneptok: sorry , arrows do work
[19:18] <SubstreamAI> its supposed to backup to Ubuntu One, but it shows 0% of my space used
[19:18] <SubstreamAI> where did it put the danged backup????
[19:19] <mexia> Hello.
[19:19] <mexia> I'm writing this thread becasue I'm having some issues while using ubuntu. I've decided to quit windows and migrating to Ubuntu. First of all when I stopped using for a bit and then when I come back to him the screen it's flashing on the edges.

[19:30] <PatrickC> I use Chrome daily on Windows, and Chromium on Ubuntu
[19:30] <ThePendulum> Same for me, I recommend Chromium over Opera
[19:30] <PatrickC> i am booted via a Live USB right now and installing Chromium to browse the internet to fix my laptop :)
[19:30] <mirko1> subz3r0: really some file in /etc/apt/sources.list or rather some file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

[19:33] <PatrickC> but then again, im no linux guru
[19:33] <afief> MonkeyDust: yes, the package in the repositories is a script that downloads a tar from adobe

[20:05] <CFHowlett> Alinn   you said you had installed it?
[20:05] <CFHowlett> Alinn   apt-cache policy virtualbox will show what's available AND what's actually installed.
[20:06] <mirko1> Girffe: we need hardware details. what sound chip do you have? Open a Terminal and rin the command "lspci|grep Audio" (without spaces) and post the output.
[20:06] <Alinn> CFHowlett: I installed it from deb package
[20:06] <Girffe> Never mind, it was just outputting through the wrong device, thanks anyway!
[20:07] <mattt_> Anyone know what's become of the packages libxmu-dev and libxi-dev?
[20:07] <CFHowlett> Alinn where did you find the .deb?
[20:07] <asender> subz3r0, u still here ?
[20:07] <subz3r0> yes
[20:07] <Alinn> CFHowlett: packages.ubuntu.com
[20:07] <goddard> my toolbar icons don't show up
[20:07] <nullwire> I have two computers each with ubuntu 10.04, when i click show desktop on either it minimizes everything. If I then maximize a window on one it resets the show desktop to minimize again. If I maximize a window on the other it doesn't reset it and if I click show desktop it maximizes everything. Please help me fix this!
[20:08] <mirko1> fernandocueva: 1. no, a sector on harddisk is almost alway 512 byte (with seldom exceptions). to set HDD parameters one usually used the tool hdparm (be careful with this)
[20:09] <CFHowlett> Alinn   installing through the software center is the preferred method as all dependencies will be addressed.  You could also get the .deb from oracle.   It seems your installation is incomplete.  I suggest you run sudo dpkg -r virutalbox and install via software center.
[20:10] <fernandocueva> does anybody knows what ascci filter options to use when opening a plain text file using openoffice word processor
[20:10] <Alinn> CFHowlett: Thanks a lot :)

[20:12] <boraklavun> hi everyone I ve some question of  about cloud how can I solve issue about that  system
[20:12] <mirko1> fernandocueva: ideally you wouldn't even get any option dialog. what problem do you have?
[20:12] <boraklavun> and how can I virtualitaion
[20:14] <mirko1> Alinn: You're welcome; My Pleasure (or whatever the correct English term is for" Gern geschehen, war mit ein Vergnügen") :-)
[20:14] <fernandocueva> I created this file with ubuntu 10.04 it came from empty file and result in a plain text file but word processor is asking me for ascci options filters and I dont know which one it is
[20:14] <Ho^Oh> Alinn: Found it?
[20:15] <ajwaj> hi
[20:15] <CFHowlett> ajwaj   greetings
[20:16] <Bitvilag> hi there everyone: I have a question about rsync -- I managed to install and set up using the howto-s out there but i came  across something none of them mentions ...everytime it syncs up it downloads 3 times the same file...why? and how can i make it to stop and download it only once...my bandwidth is not endless...
[20:16] <mirko1> fernandocueva: how (with what program) did you created it? it's most likely an encoding issue (ie. some ASCII or UTF encoding that couldn't be detected).
[20:16] <mirko1> fernandocueva: s/ASCII/ANSI/

[20:17] <sta7ic> i hate unity, grr trying to find best way to go back, i installed fallback session but its all blotchy
[20:18] <pooltable> help looking for a good web page block that can be use all in one will work for firefos chrome opera thanks?
[20:18] <Sazpaimon_> ok so I installed wubi, but my computer restarted while it was generating initrd, and I'm guessing the grub config never got generated
[20:18] <pooltable> sta7ic i use xfce
[20:18] <rocuronium> Bitvilag: are you using the backup flag with rsync?
[20:18] <KM0201> Sazpaimon_: does windows still boot?
[20:18] <Sazpaimon_> yeah, just fine
[20:18] <KM0201> be thankful
[20:18] <Sazpaimon_> but grub just dumps me to the menu
[20:18] <Sazpaimon_> or rather, the grub shell
[20:19] <Sazpaimon_> i dont feel  like re-downloading the tarball all over again, can i get wubi to re-try the grub installation?
[20:19] <KM0201> Sazpaimon_: i wouldn;'t use wubi period... but thats just my opinion
[20:19] <Sazpaimon_> also, I'm not sure if it's a regression, but wubi happily installed on a compressed NTFS volume
[20:19] <Sazpaimon_> I thought that was fixed
[20:20] <Sazpaimon_> KM0201, I needed a quick linux install, all my livecds are at home and I dont have them
[20:20] <ajwaj> xfce is good :) And you can set automatic start of gnome services if you want
[20:20] <CFHowlett> Sazpaimon_   unless you are using wubi for it's intended purpose, i.e. *testing* ubuntu, I'd recommend you install a proper dual boot.
[20:20] <Sazpaimon_> if I had my way I'd install gentoo, but i dont feel like repartitioning
[20:20] <KM0201> CFHowlett: for some reason, people always seem to overlook that, and think wubi is a permanent install
[20:21] <Sazpaimon_> CFHowlett, I needed to mount a few ext4 volumes, don't have any cds handy to burn a livecd, and dont realy feel like repartitioning today
[20:21] <CFHowlett> Sazpaimon_   another testing option is to install virtualbox on windows, install ubuntu to virtualbox and testing it out.
[20:21] <Sazpaimon_> wubi is pretty much my best bet
[20:21] <CFHowlett> Sazpaimon_   USB with unetbootin?
[20:21] <Sazpaimon_> no flash drives
[20:21] <mirko1> sta7ic: what I gathered from different people, you have to reinstall an older version without Gnome3/Unity to get back your complete Gmome2 desktop.
[20:21] <KM0201> Sazpaimon_: wubi is never a best bet
[20:21] <peterpops12> Hi, I have some trouble with an core2duo cpu, an intel e7500, I only get one cpu in ubuntu/htop. I found som strange SMP posts in kern.log. http://paste.ubuntu.com/901098/. Any idea why?
[20:22] <Sazpaimon_> virtualbox isnt redirecting the USB device properly
[20:22] <Sazpaimon_> the USB device being a linux phone that i flashed with a rescue kernel
[20:22] <Sazpaimon_> long story
[20:22] <Sazpaimon_> either way, I need to boot into some form of native linux to get this to work
[20:22] <Kaco> evening
[20:22] <sta7ic> mirko1: unity is the downfall of ubuntu
[20:22] <CFHowlett> Sazpaimon_   if you've got the grub prompt you can probably still boot with a bit of work.
[20:23] <Sazpaimon_> naturally i left my sheevaplug outlet at home
[20:23] <CFHowlett> !grub2|sazpaimon_
[20:23] <Sazpaimon_> CFHowlett, there's no kernel or initrd file in my ubuntu folder
[20:23] <Sazpaimon_> at least none that i can find
[20:23] <Sazpaimon_> are they in the loopback file? I doubt it
[20:24] <WoodPecker> Hey guys
[20:24] <Sazpaimon_> D:\ubuntu\install\boot\grub is empty, D:\ubuntu\disks\boot\grub is empty
[20:24] <WoodPecker> Can anyone help me with something? ubuntu 11.10
[20:24] <guntbert> !enter | Sazpaimon_
[20:24] <KM0201> !ask | WoodPecker
[20:24] <CFHowlett> Sazpaimon_   looks like a flakey installation - not uncommon.  reinstallation is in order
[20:25] <Sazpaimon_> great, gotta spend another 30 minutes downloading the tarball
[20:25] <Jammie> Hey, I'm having trouble with the network initialising on my ubuntu server install after upgrading from 11.04 to 11.10
[20:25] <mirko1> sta7ic: same has been said about KDE4 and now, slowly it get's mature and I'm close to go back to KDE. Unity is not the downfall of Ubuntu. Unity ( and Gnome3) was as well as KDE4 just a premature eja*ion. ;-)
[20:25] <WoodPecker> Well i have a problem on the ubuntu 11.10 when i minimize something and re-open it its auto logs me out ...
[20:25] <pooltable> help looking for a good web page block that can be use all in one will work for firefos chrome opera thanks?
[20:25] <ajwaj> peterpops12: perhaps bios settings?
[20:25] <KM0201> WoodPecker: thats a feature
[20:25] <KM0201>  :)
[20:25] <WoodPecker> How i can fix it lol?
[20:26] <WoodPecker> I got logged out like 100 times per 24 hours
[20:26] <KM0201> WoodPecker: i have no idea, i was just funnning w/ you.
[20:26] <WoodPecker> ...
[20:26] <peterpops12> ajwaj: yes i think so to, but where to start? what to change? any ideas?
[20:27] <eldani> hello, I am trying to connect skype with IDJC for an internet radio, can someone please help me?
[20:28] <ajwaj> peterpops12: I don't know this cpu, but i would try to switch on or off ht if there is such option
[20:28] <Alinn> Ho^Oh: Yes.it solved. Thnaks :)

[20:29] <ceemko> Hello guys! Does anyone know if it is possible to read/write to NTFS HDD from Ubuntu 11.10 Live usb?
[20:29] <OY1R> what is atd and why does it use so much cpu  ?
[20:29] <KM0201> ceemko: yes
[20:29] <Ho^Oh> :)

[20:31] <PatrickC> if im booted off of a live usb, will the files i create on the live usb when booted into test most stay there if i shut the computer down?
[20:32] <Jammie> Can someone help me with my network initialisation issue? After updating to 11.10 from 11.04 the network connection will only work if I boot into recovery and run "/etc/init.d/networking start" manually
[20:33] <vlt> Hello. Sometimes all open chromium browser windows disappear. Where can I find them?
[20:34] <bastidrazor> vlt: History
[20:35] <vlt> bastidrazor: I mean, why do they disappear?
[20:36] <bastidrazor> vlt: it sounds like browser crashes. run it from a terminal and when it crashes it'll have some output that may be helpful
[20:37] <yzhd> Hi guys
[20:37] <PatrickC> anyone know about my live usb question?
[20:37] <yzhd> what is your question Patrick ?
[20:37] <yzhd> maybe we have the same issue
[20:37] <PatrickC> if im booted off of a live usb, will the files i create on the live usb when booted into test most stay there if i shut the computer down?
[20:38] <mattt_> Are libxmu-dev and libxi-dev packages available on 10.04?
[20:38] <boram> do you want to say: why doesn't ubuntu's live usb creator work for me?
[20:38] <Sazpaimon_> CFHowlett, on a side note, if you think people should be using wubi for testing ubuntu, perhaps the website should say so
[20:39] <PatrickC> same question yzhd?
[20:39] <PatrickC> boram, nope.
[20:39] <CFHowlett> Sazpaimon_   iit's there if you read it, just not prominently stated.
[20:39] <yzhd> I have my partition ready on windows and everything... I followed the : make usb flash bootable bla bla.. But I have a problem. My PC won't recognize the usb flash. Can't find it in boot menu/BIOS. Anyone knows how to fix this?
[20:39] <mirko1> Jammie: not a solution, but a work-around: you can always out the /etc/init.d/networking start into /etc/rc.local
[20:39] <vlt> bastidrazor: “[3478:3478:8750416801:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(128)] Gtk: gtk_widget_size_allocate(): attempt to allocate widget with width -2147483648 and height 1000 \n chromium-browser: /build/buildd/cairo-1.10.2/src/cairo-surface.c:1287: cairo_surface_set_device_offset: Assertion `status == CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS' failed. \n Abgebrochen”
[20:39] <Sazpaimon_> CFHowlett, i glanced over it and didn't see it
[20:39] <PatrickC> yzhd, are u trying to make a dualboot?
[20:40] <Sazpaimon_> i could be missing it though
[20:40] <yzhd> yes
[20:40] <CFHowlett> yzhd   your computer either does or does not recognize usb boot.  No fix available.  make a cdrom/dvd
[20:40] <PatrickC> yzhd, have u tried WUBI?
[20:40] <yzhd> yes, wubi is unstable
[20:40] <PatrickC> unstable? i use it all the time
[20:40] <Sazpaimon_> is http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/windows-installer still the main apge for wubi?
[20:40] <yzhd> so I have no other choice than using a cdrom/dvd?
[20:40] <PatrickC> but a live DVD would be your best option
[20:40] <CFHowlett> yzhd   windows + virtualbox + ubuntu
[20:40] <PatrickC> CFHowlett, that isnt always the best option :)
[20:40] <yzhd> I have cd-r ... but I need a cd-rw
[20:40] <yzhd> Only cd-rw 700 mb will work ?
[20:40] <PatrickC> have any dvd's?
[20:41] <yzhd> will dvd-r work ?
[20:41] <PatrickC> shuold
[20:41] <PatrickC> should*
[20:41] <PatrickC> not sure though
[20:41] <CFHowlett> patrickC true but as an ubuntu testing alternative, it'll do.
[20:41] <yzhd> Anyone knows anything about this ?
[20:41] <yzhd> will dvd-r work ?
[20:41] <yzhd> or only cd-rw ?
[20:41] <PatrickC> yzhd, if you can burn to it, then i dont see why not
[20:41] <PatrickC> i do mine on DVD's
[20:41] <yzhd> is your dvd-r ?
[20:42] <PatrickC> DVD+R
[20:42] <boram> dvd+r or dvd-r?
[20:42] <bastidrazor> vlt: that is cairo-dock crashing not chromium
[20:42] <bastidrazor> vlt: either way, i do not know the answer.
[20:43] <sheenzz> how can i install lubuntu 11.10
[20:43] <PatrickC> sheenzz, download the ISO and burn it to a DVD or a USB
[20:43] <Xabster> download, burn, follow setup
[20:43] <CFHowlett> sheenzz   same way you install ubuntu
[20:44] <vlt> bastidrazor: Thank you.
[20:44] <vlt> What is cairo-dock?
[20:44] <CFHowlett> sheenzz   but if you HAVE ubuntu and just want the desktop environment, sudo apt-get install lxde
[20:44] <yzhd> Okay, so CD-RW or DVD+R will work.
[20:44] <bastidrazor> vlt: i could very well be wrong then if you do not have cairo-dock installed.
[20:44] <PatrickC> I use a DVD+R
[20:44] <yzhd> ok
[20:44] <Turbolinux> Hello everyone, what was the Off-Topic Channel's name? Thank you for your help.

[20:45] <nanimo> PatrickC: I haven't used a live USB stick for ages, so I don't know anymore if you keep the files you make. If you partition your stick, you can for sure keep them.
[20:45] <yzhd> but isn't DVD+R read only ?
[20:46] <Vert> How do you install sun-java6 in 11.10? I can't seem to find it in any of the repos?
[20:46] <letterj> Greetings.  I've built a private repo for some internal precise packages and get a warning that some files in the /var/lib/apt/lists/partial directory have a size mismatch.  Any ideas?
[20:46] <eldani> hello, anyone know if it is possible and how to connect skype to Internet DJ console for live streaming, for example, interviewing
[20:46] <vlt> bastidrazor: The only cairo pkg installed is “python-gobject-cairo”.
[20:46] <PatrickC> Vert, openjdk is the best imo
[20:46] <Vert> PatrickC: I need Sun's Java.
[20:46] <bastidrazor> vlt: correct, cairo-dock is not the issue, i am wrong.
[20:46] <Jammie> mirko1: that didn't work :)
[20:46] <Jammie> *:(

[20:47] <yzhd> anywhere I find info about which cd/dvds that will work ?
[20:47] <dell> how do I run a .deb file from tthe terminal?
[20:48] <PatrickC> dell, sudo dpkg -i filename.deb
[20:48] <CFHowlett> dell   sudo dpkg -i deb.deb
[20:48] <dasei> dell: sudo dpkg -i blah.deb
[20:48] <dell> thanks guys
[20:48] <vlt> bastidrazor: It happens every time. About 10 times in a row now. I can’t open google mail in chromium :/
[20:48] <nanimo> PatrickC: Maybe not exactly the answer to your question, but you can make a live USB system persistent (keep your customizations): https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent
[20:48] <Vert> PatrickC: Thanks. :D I would just the OpenJDK but I'm trying to run a minecraft serer, which doesn't like anything but Sun's version from memory.
[20:49] <PatrickC> Vert, no prob lol
[20:49] <mirko1> dell: you don't *run* a deb, you install it. a ..deb is basically an archive (like .zip or .rar). with additional installation info. see the other's answers for the command
[20:49] <PatrickC> Vert, i had some issues with OpenJDK and a few things too. which is how i knew where the was ;)
[20:50] <vlt> When I click the “mail” link on google’s start page the chromium brwoser window closes. What happens here and how to fix this?
[20:50] <Jammie> The problem I'm having with my networking is the same as this guy http://askubuntu.com/questions/73431/when-ubuntu-server-restarts-eth0-doesnt-come-back-up but the solution suggested didn't work
[20:50] <dell> mirko1: all I needed was the command but thanks
[20:52] <sheenzz> is there a shortcut on the keyboard for task manager
[20:52] <grendal-prime> can somone help me out with a resizing of a partion and resizing of the lvm on that partition
[20:52] <grendal-prime> its a vm..nothing to loose really i mean its for poc.
[20:53] <Bira> Hello, does anyone know of a good alternative to Evince on 11.10? It would be excellent if I could get a standalone version of whatever it is Chrome uses, as it usually renders better than Evince.
[20:54] <vlt> grendal-prime: When shrinking, first the pv then the partition. When enlarging, the other way round.
[20:54] <grendal-prime> i increased the drive size already
[20:54] <mirko1> sheenzz: no, but you can add a shortcut using System -> Preferemces -> Keyboard Shortcuts. command to use would be gnome-system-monitor or if you want something simple gpe-taskmanager (install it first)
[20:55] <vlt> grendal-prime: `pvresize`
[20:55] <grendal-prime> ya i keep getting an error
[20:56] <vlt> grendal-prime: ORLY?
[20:56] <grendal-prime> ok im gonna start all over with a new vm ok
[20:57] <Sazpaimon> oh boy
[20:58] <Sazpaimon> so *now* this wubi install is just giving me a blank purple screen on bootup
[20:58] <boram> lol
[20:58] <albanito> ?
[20:58] <grendal-prime> vlt, so drive is going to be about 10 gig
[20:58] <albanito> ?
[20:58] <grendal-prime> i want to make it 15.
[20:58] <KM0201> Sazpaimon: so much for it being a "simple solution" to not wanting to partition...
[20:58] <albanito> quit
[20:58] <dasei> grenda-prime : vbox ? look at FAQ at their homepage, decribed there
[20:58] <itaylor57> KM0201, lol
[20:59] <grendal-prime> no kvm
[20:59] <itaylor57> wubi is the bomb
[20:59] <KM0201> itaylor57: lol, it's a bomb alright
[20:59] <Sazpaimon> KM0201, i know right?
[20:59] <sheenzz> what is wubi????
[20:59] <itaylor57> waiting to explode
[20:59] <Sazpaimon> i think i may just use the debian win32 loader
[20:59] <CFHowlett> itaylor57   *properly* used, wubi is alright.
[20:59] <dell> does Ubuntu use the nouveau driver for nvidia cards while running the live cd?
[20:59] <boram> wubi sounds like a chinese product
[20:59] <dasei> !wubi, sheenzz
[20:59] <Sazpaimon> that actually will partition your device
[20:59] <KM0201> CFHowlett: the problem is, so few people properly use it.
[20:59] <dasei> !wubi| sheenzz
[20:59] <CFHowlett> KM0201   true.  too true.
[20:59] <Sazpaimon> i seriously dont know why this isnt working though
[21:00] <gardenguardian00> Am I going to be ok using ubuntu to copy files to a portable WD hard drive formatted to NTFS? So many conflicting answers to this online
[21:00] <KM0201> gardenguardian00: why wouldn;t you be?
[21:00] <dell> gardenguardian00: you'll be fine
[21:00] <KM0201> i read/write to NTFS all the time
[21:00] <dasei> sheenzz: nice for a glance, but got some issues on ntfs concerning defgramentation
[21:00] <grendal-prime> gardenguardian00, just plug it in
[21:00] <grendal-prime> it will work
[21:00] <CFHowlett> gardenguardian00  on dual boot, I frequently access my windows partition.  Just remember: with great power...
[21:00] <sheenzz> oh
[21:00] <boram> i used ubuntu in a vbox vm, both 32 and 64 bit, everything worked
[21:01] <XData2384> this.setEncodage('UTF-8');
[21:01] <boram> i gave 4 gb of ram for each vm
[21:01] <Sazpaimon> CFHowlett, is nomodeset still required for nvidia devices?
[21:02] <XData2384> kyb
[21:02] <dell> does anyone know if Ubuntu uses the nouveau driver for the live cd?
[21:02] <dasei> sheenzz: for playing around I prefer vm's
[21:02] <CFHowlett> Sazpaimon   I've only read about that issue... try it and see.
[21:02] <mateus> =p
[21:02] <gardenguardian00> ok, and it shouldn't be much slower than copying files to the drive from windows, right?
[21:03] <Sazpaimon> Ill give it a try
[21:03] <Sazpaimon> okay, here we go.. again
[21:03] <CFHowlett> gardenguardian00  copying a 40 gigabyte music library took less than 30 minutes
[21:04] <mirko1> gardenguardian00: depends. if the NTFS drive is (internaly) fragmented, then handling NTFS can take an insane amount of time
[21:04] <mirko1> gardenguardian00: but normaly, it shouldn't be slower
[21:04] <fartofagony> hi guys
[21:04] <_Marcus> hi
[21:05] <mateus> hi
[21:05] <gardenguardian00> mirko1: if this ever happened, i would just re-format?
[21:05] <fartofagony> so they said 11.04 was going to be the final? but they keep releasing newer?
[21:05] <mateus> tem algum br por aqui?
[21:05] <CFHowlett> gardenguardian00   you would be wise to defrag your windows partition prior to touching it with ubuntu ...
[21:05] <itaylor57> fartofagony, there is a new release each 6 months
[21:06] <gardenguardian00> its not a windows partition, just an external drive to transfer media to. Nothing critical
[21:06] <CFHowlett> fartofagony    and a new Long Term Support release every two years.
[21:06] <itaylor57> !br | mateus
[21:06] <fartofagony> is 10.04 the version that has never ending support?
[21:06] <boram> so, ubuntu 10.04 is not end-of-life yet?
[21:06] <fartofagony> because if so, then its comfortable
[21:06] <PatrickC> i love linux
[21:06] <mirko1> gardenguardian00: or use a deframentation tool which can defragment the internal NTFS data-structure. (not sure, but maybe UltraDefrag can do this)
[21:06] <PatrickC> its letting me recover my files :)
[21:06] <CFHowlett> fartofagony   LTS in 10.04 has 3 years support.  12.04 will have 5 years support
[21:06] <fartofagony> ooh
[21:07] <fartofagony> ahh ok thanks !

[21:12] <Jammie> does anyone have any idea about this problem? http://askubuntu.com/questions/73431/when-ubuntu-server-restarts-eth0-doesnt-come-back-up

[21:13] <mirko1> Jammie: instead of running /etc/init.d/networking, are you able to start the network with "sudo start network-manager" ? if yes, then NetworkManager isn't started for some reason.
[21:14] <chunky> hn
[21:15] <Jammie> when I type "sudo start network-manager" I get "start: Unknown job: network-manager"
[21:15] <k-rAd> would someone assist me in diagnosing how to get my audio working on my 11.10 oneiric z68 motherboard ?
[21:15] <k-rAd> its using Cedarwood
[21:15] <mirko1> Jammie: can't help, sorry
[21:15] <CFHowlett> mirko1   try nm-applet
[21:16] <Jammie> it's a server install if that makes any difference?
[21:16] <Helsinkiii> hi
[21:17] <CFHowlett> Helsinkiii   greetings
[21:17] <Helsinkiii> what would i need to delete after uninstalling VLC to remove all old settings, so that when i reinstall it it doesn't reveert back?
[21:17] <CFHowlett> Helsinkiii   sudo apt-get purge vlc
[21:17] <Helsinkiii> thanks
[21:18] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett, i'll let you know in a sec if it worked
[21:18] <bastidrazor> Jammie: try sudo service network-manager start
[21:18] <unlimitedesire28> freunde der Sonne
[21:18] <CFHowlett> !fr|unlimitedesire28
[21:18] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett VLC still crashes when i start it
[21:19] <Jammie> I get "network-manager: unrecognized service"
[21:19] <XData2384> \o/
[21:19] <Jammie> Is network-manager a installed on ubuntu server?
[21:19] <CFHowlett> Helsinkiii   sudo apt-get remove vlc && sudo apt-get purge vlc
[21:20] <bastidrazor> Jammie: actually it is not. 'networking' may be the service you need
[21:20] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett, why doesn't the system purge after a remove by itself? why does it leave lingering files?
[21:21] <CFHowlett> Helsinkiii   by design, it only removes the app, not the configuration or data files.  methinks this is  a good thing...
[21:21] <Jammie> when I run "sudo service networking start" It says "networking stop/waiting" but when I run ifconfig afterwards it's blank
[21:21] <Helsinkiii> really, why?
[21:22] <mirko1> Jammie: really wild guess but perhaps the last post from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1563928 could help
[21:22] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett, still doesn't work! do i need to reboot by chance?
[21:22] <bastidrazor> Jammie: there is a #ubuntu-server channel that may be of better assistance.
[21:22] <unlimitedesire28> can anybody help me to let a php file restart with cronjob
[21:22] <CFHowlett> Helsinkiii   couldn't hurt.  Do you run any other video viewer ?
[21:23] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett, Parole. works fine.
[21:23] <CFHowlett> Helsinkiii   seems specific to vlc then.  where did you install VLC from?
[21:23] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett, i'll give it a reboot, see what happens. maybe lingering threads or something
[21:23] <unlimitedesire28> does anybody know how this works?
[21:23] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett, from the repo?
[21:24] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett, sudo apt-get install vlc
[21:24] <CFHowlett> Helsinkiii   good - just checking
[21:24] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett, brb..reboot
[21:24] <Jammie> When I run " sudo dhclient eth0" as suggested it works, but I suspect it will turn itself off on reboot
[21:24] <Jammie> I'll try the ubuntu server channel, thanks!
[21:24] <unlimitedesire28> Good evening
[21:25] <CFHowlett> unlimitedesire28   greetings
[21:25] <mirko1> Helsinkiii: perhaps you want to remove your user VLC config in $HOME/.config/vlc ?

[21:27] <XData2384> what's the default charset of output tv card stream ? /device01 ?
[21:27] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett, didn't do anything man. really upset
[21:27] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett, i was literally using VLC 15 minutes ago
[21:28] <donnie> whats up all
[21:28] <CFHowlett> Helsinkiii   try this.
[21:28] <CFHowlett> Helsinkiii   sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[21:28] <CFHowlett> donnie   greetings
[21:28] <donnie> anyone kno why when loading to desktop it asks for password and i enter it then it attempts to load but then loads login screen again
[21:29] <trkemist> anyone here can help me with a Cisco VPN Tunnel?
[21:29] <trkemist> I installed the Gnome VPNc stuff for Network manager,but this doesn't work :/
[21:30] <donnie> anyone plz
[21:30] <CFHowlett> donnie   is this a new install?
[21:31] <donnie> i'm not sure its a freinds laptop
[21:31] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett, i'm purging libqtgui stuff
[21:31] <mirko1> donnie: reasons I now are:  / is full, your have a permission problem on for example $HOME/.ICEauthority
[21:31] <Jordan_U> donnie: That sounds like the Desktop Environment is crashing. You might try logging into the failsafe GNOME session or Unity 2D.
[21:32] <Pumpkin-> trkemist: is this a Cisco Anyconnect VPN ?. If so you most likely want to explore "openconnect".
[21:32] <donnie> i'm not familiar with linux and ubuntu, my friends just wants it off there and i cant do anything to the laptop because of this issue
[21:32] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett, how do i purge everything that I decide to autoremove as well?
[21:32] <CFHowlett> Helsinkiii   sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove
[21:33] <Sazpaimon> nomodeset did the trick
[21:34] <linux_is_my_hero> ubuntu 11.10 x64, hp officejet 6500.  computer is having trouble sending jobs to printer.
[21:34] <wolfric> hey i have a bit of an odd situation. The letter "G" (capital) seems to be a bit big...everywhere ... and is getting cut off.  CUPS running?
[21:36] <donnie> mirko1 anyway to bypass this and just have windows run
[21:36] <speedhog> is it possible to install gnome over ubuntu 11.10?
[21:36] <linux_is_my_hero> mirko1: its never done this before.  printer is turned on and recognized by the computer.  how do i see if cups is running?
[21:36] <pangolin> !notunity | speedhog
[21:37] <speedhog> ty
[21:37] <pangolin> sure thing
[21:37] <CFHowlett> Helsinkiii   /join #vidoelan and ask the experts ...
[21:37] <donnie> anyone kno why when loading to desktop it asks for password and i enter it then it attempts to load but then loads login screen again
[21:37] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett, vlc --reset-config
[21:37] <linux_is_my_hero> mirko1: ubuntu won't let me open the "configure printers" window either...
[21:37] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett, it worked
[21:37] <Zaitzev> Does anyone know how to "restore" a program that is supposed to open a dialog, yet doesn't, but is still running (ps shows it). It's a shell-script with gui. Program name is Serviio
[21:37] <mirko1> donnie: if windows is installed an the boot-manager wasn't completely messes up, just reboot and choose windows, but since you're asking I suspect that isn't propablem or?
[21:37] <CFHowlett> Helsinkiii   wait, what?
[21:38] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett,  i ran vlc --reset-config. the VLC guys weren't answering
[21:38] <CloudGroup> !classic
[21:38] <Zaitzev> It is supposed to add an icon up in the tray by the clock so I can access it, but when I run the .sh file it doesn't appear. It usually does, but has decided against that just now..
[21:38] <grendal-prime> vlt, i guess the big problem here is taht the lvm is the root?
[21:38] <Helsinkiii> CFHowlett, but then why on Earth would what I tried not work at all? that means there were lingering configuration files
[21:38] <donnie> i cant boot windows its not an option or atleast i cant figure it out
[21:38] <pangolin> Zaitzev, ps aux | grep program , then kill PID,  start over
[21:38] <baskak> help needed installing digigram vxpocket v2 on (l)ubuntu 10.04
[21:39] <donnie> like i said i am not fimaliar with this, my friend just wants it off her computer
[21:39] <Zaitzev> pangolin: I've done that 3 times now.
[21:39] <grendal-prime> so first step i would think would be to increase the physical(virtual) hard drive correct?
[21:39] <pangolin> Zaitzev, perhaps seek help from the developers of the program?
[21:39] <linux_is_my_hero> mirko1: apparently it disabled itself in ubuntu when my gf decided to pull the old print cartridge out to check the model number.  i just renabled it and its fine now.  sorry for the trouble.
[21:40] <Zaitzev> pangolin: I ask because I wonder if there's a way to "restore" a running program, ie. open it up
[21:40] <pangolin> Zaitzev, I don't know :/
[21:40] <mirko1> donnie: so if I understand correctly, your friend did install Ubuntu just recently? are you sure windows is even still installed?
[21:40] <Bitvilag> hi there everyone: I have a question about rsync -- I managed to install and set up using the howto-s out there but i came  across something none of them mentions ...everytime it syncs up it downloads 3 times the same file...why? and how can i make it to stop and download it only once...my bandwidth is not endless...
[21:41] <macmartine> If dir1 is owned by user1 / group1, but I want user2 to be able to read/write to that directory over sftp, should i appraoch that by adding user2 to group1?
[21:41] <donnie> i am not sure! i have windows 7 on a external drive i was going to try and boot it on start up but it just loads to login and wont start up
[21:41] <bastidrazor> macmartine: or create a group2 and add both users to it and chgrp dir1 to have group2 as the group owner
[21:42] <Zaitzev> pangolin: I hate having to register on the application forum just for one banale question that they might not even be able to answer, since it seems more like a system-problem than an application-problem. This has happened to other programs as well.
[21:42] <macmartine> bastidrazor: ok. then what would the proper chmod be?
[21:43] <pangolin> Zaitzev, but it may be due to some lib update and they are better suited to ask you which lib versions you have and then help fix it or update the app.
[21:44] <Zaitzev> pangolin: The weird thing is that it worked just fine earlier today, and there has been no updates or even usage of this computer since then.
[21:44] <Bitvilag> so anyone have an idea to my problem?
[21:45] <bastidrazor> macmartine: the directory needs read and execute for the group. i assume the owner has rwx if so then you need,, chmod 750 dir1 ..that gives r-x to the group for dir1
[21:45] <w0rldlulzsec> hey
[21:46] <CFHowlett> w0rldlulzsec   greetings
[21:46] <Bitvilag> does anyone know anything about rsync?
[21:46] <_Marcus> hi w0rldlulzsec
[21:46] <macmartine> bastidrazor: but then user2 can't write to that directory, right? B/c he is in the group, but not the owner
[21:46] <w0rldlulzsec> heave a brazilian here ?
[21:46] <w0rldlulzsec> or portuguese..
[21:46] <CFHowlett> !br|w0rldlulzsec
[21:46] <_Marcus> w0rldlulzsec: This isn't a hookup room, this is Ubuntu support
[21:47] <bastidrazor> macmartine: the owner has its own permissions. if you want user2 to have write then use '770' instead of '750'
[21:47] <w0rldlulzsec> Thanks brothers
[21:47] <pangolin> _Marcus, did he say anything about hooking up? he asked if there were any Portuguese speakers
[21:47] <macmartine> bastidrazor: and i assume that's "safe"?
[21:48] <bastidrazor> macmartine: if you want user2 to have the ability to change anything in the directory then it is perfectly safe.
[21:48] <grendal-prime> I guess the confusing part is that i dont wan to add another drive i just want to extend the exsting one.
[21:48] <lightbox> hi, anyone know if there is a kernel autoconfigure tool ?
[21:49] <w0rldlulzsec> _Marcus , you install theme macbuntu ?
[21:49] <BlackBison_> when putting ubuntu on a usb drive using USB installer, if you set a persistent file size of a couple of gig does that mean ur linux will save all files, changes etc when u use it off the usb stick? thanks for help im total noob
[21:49] <Bitvilag> does anyone know why rsync downloads 3 times the same file when sync up?
[21:51] <fartofagony> oh
[21:51] <fartofagony> did i just download the wrong file?
[21:51] <rocuronium> Bitvilag: what flags are you using with the rsync command?
[21:51] <mirko1> lightbox: no, but the current kernel config is available per /boot/config-$(uname -r)
[21:51] <fartofagony> i only have the command prompt of ubuntu
[21:52] <mariano> hola alguien sabe de algun programa para descargar videos de youtube
[21:52] <Bitvilag> rocuronium: let me check
[21:52] <KM0201> fartofagony: what did you download?
[21:52] <mirko1> lightbox: copy that file your your kernel source directory, replacing the .config file
[21:53] <fartofagony> KM0201: ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386
[21:53] <CFHowlett> !es|mariano
[21:53] <KM0201> then no, you didn't download the wrong thing
[21:53] <KM0201> so you're saying you only have the command prompt fartofagony ?
[21:53] <lightbox> mirko1: no, I have kernel_source+grsecurity
[21:53] <Bitvilag> rsync -avh --progress --bwlimit=350 --log-file="/home/mustang/logs/$(date +%Y%m%d)_rsync.log" "rsync://<IP_ADDRESS>/Torrent" /media/VirtualDisk/deluge/downloaded/attila/rsync
[21:53] <fartofagony> KM0201: yup i suspect some kind of security thing? no idea really :(
[21:54] <KM0201> what makes you think its a "security" thing?
[21:54] <ActionParsnip> Bitvilag: do you have a desktop UI?
[21:55] <mirko1> lightbox: ok, and?
[21:55] <fartofagony> KM0201: something about locking because its guest blabla, dont remember what the text was and i pressed "continue anyway"
[21:55] <fartofagony> KM0201: but that wouldnt make much sense
[21:55] <KM0201> fartofagony: no it wouldn't
[21:55] <speedhog> is there any driver i can use for intel HD graphics? im getting more than frequent lockups on any application
[21:55] <Bitvilag> ActionParsnip nope
[21:55] <lightbox> Mike9863: and I'd like to know if there is something that analyze my system and giveme the .config
[21:56] <Bitvilag> so any idea?
[21:56] <Mike9863> lightbox: Wrong auto complete :P
[21:58] <rhizmoe> ugh. what has happened to whois?
[21:58] <lightbox> Mike9863: hehe lol i'm sorry :-p
[21:58] <Mike9863> lightbox: It's alright :)
[21:58] <mirko1> lightbox: there's nothing which could "scan" your system and create a kernel config. the configuration of the kernel currenctly running is, as I said in  /boot/config-$(uname -r). if that doesn't suit you, you need to tell more clearly why not, :-)
[21:58] <fartofagony> KM0201: fixed it by just restarting. i notice that ubuntu doesnt auto detect my graphics card. is a way around?
[21:59] <KM0201> whats your graphics card?
[21:59] <Zaitzev> well I had to actually reboot the system to get that problem I had, to vanish. Who would've thunk?
[21:59] <lightbox> mirko1: ok :-) thanks :-)
[21:59] <Bitvilag> so noone has a possible solution to my rsync problem?
[21:59] <fartofagony> KM0201: ati radeon 4650
[22:00] <matrix> Okay i need recommendation on best software for home server. Anyone who has an opinion would be awesome. I'm tech savvy, but not Linux savvy so something not to complicated.
[22:00] <matrix>  Ill be using DnyDns
[22:00] <KM0201> fartofagony: go to the unity dash and search for "Additional Drivers"  see if it gives you the option to install an ATI driver.
[22:00] <Bitvilag> matrix: ubuntu is great for server
[22:00] <fartofagony> KM0201: ah thanks
[22:00] <Jon--> After enabled compiz, my <Super>+Q bind I set up with xbindkeys is not working. How can I fix this?
[22:00] <CFHowlett> Bitvilag   ask in #rysnc
[22:00] <mirko1> !best | matrix
[22:00]  * KM0201 thinks ubuntu server is pretty darn slick.
[22:01] <fartofagony> KM0201: sorry! another question if you dont mind: in this new version where the logikn section is, isnt there an option to apply the classical look of ubuntu?`
[22:01]  * Bitvilag is desperate
[22:01] <CFHowlett> Bitvilag   ask in #rysnc
[22:01] <matrix> Sorry ubottu. Ill be webhosting and FTP. I respect those who know and was gonna go with what was recommended.
[22:02] <KM0201> fartofagony: where the login section is?   you mean the login screen?
[22:02] <fartofagony> KM0201: yup
[22:02] <Bitvilag> CFHowlett: didnt know there is a channel like that
[22:02] <KM0201> fartofagony: ... i'm honestly not sure... i would think so.. but.. honestly I don't use Ubuntu anymore, so i'm not 100% sure,
[22:02] <Bitvilag> matrix: ubuntu server is great for that with apache2 and proftpd
[22:02] <rocuronium> Bitvilag: I remember something similar happening once, but what it ended up being was that I had used the backup flag once, and it kept syncing the backup file as well.
[22:03] <fartofagony> KM0201: ah, ok ! no problems! :D thanks for the heklp with the other problems
[22:03] <KM0201> fartofagony: no prob. :)
[22:03] <speedhog> ubuntu 11.10 freezes over anything on my intel pentium 2.60ghz X2 with intel HD graphics 64 bits
[22:03] <Okanspor> hi
[22:03] <speedhog> is it because of the lack of video acceleration drivers?
[22:03] <Scott_23> How would I go about getting 12.04 beta onto a USB drive to install from ? I haz no dvd drive.
[22:04] <Bitvilag> rocuronium: I doubt i have backup flag there or do i?
[22:04] <KM0201> speedhog: or it's some other hardware issue, that is unrelated to Linux.
[22:04] <athena007> hi folks
[22:04] <athena007> evening
[22:04] <matrix> Thanks Bivilag: I use that flavor for desktop. Im gonna give it a shot.
[22:04] <beandog> Scott_23: theres a wiki page on it
[22:04] <CFHowlett> Scott_23   download the .iso and create a USB with startupdiskcreator or with unetbootin
[22:04] <Bitvilag> matrix: I use that for home server and also samba for windows file sharing
[22:04] <speedhog> km0201: good point, i must check that out, besides, i installed it by wubi
[22:04] <CFHowlett> athena007   greetings
[22:05] <athena007> please i need help in disabling a service or bypassing it at system bootup to have a shell to correct issues
[22:05] <Okanspor> how are you guys ?! :)
[22:05] <CFHowlett> Okanspor   greetings
[22:05] <rocuronium> Bitvilag: I don't think you do, but can you make sure that you don't have a hidden extra copy of those files in your sync directories.
[22:05] <athena007> currently the service is hanging the boot process
[22:07] <dlentz> athena007, what is the service?
[22:07] <athena007> coovachilli
[22:07] <Bitvilag> rocuronium: i sent u private message
[22:08] <dlentz> have you tried booting to recovery console?
[22:08] <athena007> dlentz: its coovachilli a captive portal service i installed
[22:09] <athena007> its hanging the booting process so i can even have a shell to login to disable the service
[22:09] <dlentz> have you tried booting to recovery console?
[22:09] <athena007> anyclues to overide it
[22:09] <athena007> yes
[22:09] <dlentz> so it runs even hwen booting htere?
[22:10] <athena007> yes
[22:11] <athena007> is the no way to issues options to the boot process at boot time to skip the service
[22:12] <ceres> is there an iptables channel?
[22:12] <dlentz> i would personally boot a livecd and delete the binary/start script, but that's an ugly hack
[22:12] <beandog> that's not an ugly hack
[22:12] <beandog> it's quite reasonable
[22:12] <beandog> oh, don't delete the *script*, just delete it from the rc runlevels
[22:13] <athena007> hmm actually its debian squeeze not ubuntu
[22:14] <athena007> no live cd option
[22:14] <athena007> thought ubuntu being debian distro ll have some similar hack
[22:14] <_Marcus> athena007: I don't think support is given here for Debain
[22:14] <nibbler__> athena007, add boot option: init=/bin/bash and delete the links in the runlevel ("mount -oremount,rw /" might be needed before deleting)
[22:14] <speedhog> im considering getting a previous version
[22:15] <athena007> nibbler__: please explain further
[22:15] <mirko1> athena007: somewhat hard to beleive that a service grabs that deep in to the system, but maybe you can use a kernel command-line argument like "init=/bin/sh" to bypass the whole init process, get a plain console and repair/remove it there.
[22:16] <dlentz> athena007, you don't need an ubuntu/debian livecd/usb, just about any linux that allows you to mount your filesystem will od
[22:16] <anonymous6> hello im trying to get FreeType 32-bit development files
[22:16] <beandog> sysrescuecd is nice
[22:16] <anonymous6> where o i get them
[22:16] <anonymous6> ?
[22:16] <nibbler__> athena007, everything said - read mirko1s and use the remount to get rw access on /
[22:17] <dlentz> anonymous6, are you running 32-bit or 64-bit ubuntu?
[22:17] <beandog> anonymous6: libfreetype6-dev I'm guessing
[22:17] <anonymous6> hello64
[22:17] <anonymous6> 64 bit
[22:17] <athena007> thanks folks much appreciated ll do it and give feed back soon :)
[22:22] <Zaitzev> any recommendations on an IM client? I find Empathy a bit too minimal.
[22:23] <beandog> pidgin
[22:24] <Zaitzev> hm
[22:24] <ActionParsnip> Zaitzev: pidgin
[22:24] <Zaitzev> guess I could try that, thanks
[22:25] <captainfixerpc14> might there be someone that is good at resolving update/upgrade issues - running ubuntu11.04 - and after hours of research - still have held pkgs - unable to calc errors?
[22:25] <JermBob> !package eggdrop
[22:25] <JermBob> hrm
[22:25] <Zaitzev> hilarious, I want to remove "adium-theme-ubuntu" that is for Empathy, but then it wants to remove ubuntu-desktop. *cough*
[22:26] <ActionParsnip> Zaitzev: thats fine, its only a metapackage
[22:26] <Zaitzev> so ubuntu-desktop can be safely removed then?
[22:26] <Zaitzev> I've seen lots of packages wanting to remove it when I try to uninstall other stuff as well, so I skipped it afraid of doing something bad ;p
[22:29] <ActionParsnip> Zaitzev: sure, it doesn't do anything

[22:32] <JanSch> hi, is there any reasonable way to install a non-insecure sun-jre for usage with firefox on 10.04 LTS?
[22:32] <anthropos> if I install 12.04 beta is it going to be straightforward to upgrade it to the stable 12.04 release later?
[22:33] <summershyn> ...

[22:37] <ActionParsnip> !jp
[22:37] <shake> hey, can anyone help me with mac?
[22:37] <summershyn> !Japan?
[22:37] <ActionParsnip> shake: in what way?
[22:38] <shake> well, I don't know if there's a fix for this yet, but it uses a lot of battery, and the sound doesn't work fully
[22:38] <Fyodorovna> qbert_, http://diatec.co.jp/en/
[22:38] <shake> it sounds worse, and it doesn't go as loud as it used to
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> shake: which mac do you have?
[22:38] <shake> I have the Macbook Pro, and I think the model number is 7,1
[22:38] <dysun> !
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> shake: and what is the output of:  lsb_release -sxc
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> lsb_release -sc
[22:38] <Mikero> qbert_: This looks like a contact us page https://www.diatec.co.jp/inquiry/index.php
[22:38] <qbert_> Fyodorovna, different site, no contact us page :(
[22:39] <shake> I have oneiric ocelot

[22:40] <fartofagony> how do you extract the content of tar.gz with the help of command pårompt?
[22:40] <fartofagony> prompt*
[22:40] <skx> hey, my Intel 82557 is not detected, and when I manually up it (ifconfig eth0 up), it doesn't work -- I can't google anything useful
[22:40] <qbert_> fartofagony, tar xzvf myfi<tab> ?
[22:40] <skx> it's ancient equipment, it worked under freebsd
[22:40] <shake> Does the linux kernel on ubuntu come pre-installed with the macintosh drivers? I was trying to install gentoo into a vm, I didn't finish it, but when I was compiling the kernel, I noticed a option for Macintosh drivers, are those included in the Ubuntu linux kernel
[22:40] <ActionParsnip> shake: try:  echo "options snd-hda-intel model=mbp55" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf > /dev/null      then reboot to test
[22:40] <mirko1> fartofagony: tar xvf the_tar_file
[22:41] <theq_> any1 help please
[22:41] <fartofagony> qbert_: i dlont understnad, is that what i should type?
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> shake: actually, scratch that: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro7-1/Oneiric
[22:41] <shake> I already typed it in
[22:41] <ActionParsnip> fartofagony: install unp and run:  unp filename
[22:41] <qbert_> fartofagony, yes, x(extract)z(unzip)v(verbose)f(file) fileName
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> shake: ok then run:  gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf    and remove the last line
[22:42] <fartofagony> thanks
[22:42]  * qbert_ looks up unp
[22:42] <fartofagony> hm going to try it brb!
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> qbert_: unp means you dont have to remember that stuff :)
[22:42] <shake> ActionParsnip: how does that command work anyway? does it just copy that into the /etc/modprbe.d/alsa-base.conf
[22:42]  * theq_ really needs help
[22:42] <ActionParsnip> qbert_: unp is like right click -> extract here    the type is managed automagically
[22:42] <shake> and when I saw that I mean options snd-hda-intel model=mbp55
[22:43] <black> hello evre one
[22:43] <ActionParsnip> shake: yes delete the line and use the guide I posted, if its no good then try the command again and reboot
[22:43] <summershyn> hello
[22:43] <shake> okay, thanks
[22:43] <qbert_> ActionParsnip,  looks nice :)
[22:44] <qbert_> new command yeah
[22:44] <qbert_> yay*
[22:44] <fartofagony> oh ok i misunderstood, my problem is that i cant extract to a specific directory because im a guest
[22:44] <shake> ActionParsnip: so, does that command just copy the line "options snd-hda-intel model=mbp55
[22:44] <shake> to the file /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[22:44] <ActionParsnip> shake: it adds it to the file
[22:45] <shake> ActionParsnip: so it puts it at the end of the file?
[22:45] <ActionParsnip> shake: yes, the -a is for (a)dd
[22:45] <shake> oh, sick
[22:45] <mirko1> fartofagony: have you permisson to use sudo? if not you can extract to /tmp
[22:46] <shake> I have to look into the more complex shell commands at some point
[22:46] <shake> because I understand some of them, but I get confused when the or operator (|) is used, and when grep and tee are used
[22:46] <shammancer> Is there a way to make more shortcuts like ~ for home?
[22:46] <qbert_> alias ?
[22:46] <ActionParsnip> shake: if the file was writable by your user you could use >> instead but sudo doesn't traverse the operator, so you have to pipe to sudo tee
[22:47] <mirko1> shammancer: alias, symlink, readline bindings
[22:47] <Dulak> shammancer: you can alias anything to anything else, an example I use: alias ..='cd ..'
[22:47] <ActionParsnip> shake: grep is a filter and searcher for strings and so forth, very powerful
[22:47] <shake> what's piping? is that what the '|' is for?
[22:47] <qbert_> yes
[22:47] <shake> ok, that sort of makes sense
[22:48] <Dulak> shake a pipe takes the output from 1 command and feed it as input to another command, creating a 'pipe' between the commands
[22:48] <ActionParsnip> shake: | is the pipe character, its how you join the output of one command into another
[22:48] <joallard> My computer doesn't boot anymore. How do I diagnose it?
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> shake: for example, running 'ls $HOME' will list the folders in home, if you run: 'ls $HOME | grep D      it will show all the files and folders with an uppercase 'D' in them
[22:49] <ActionParsnip> shake: obviously omit the quotes
[22:49] <shake> yea, that's sick, I've heard about pipes and shit before, but I thought it was much more in depth
[22:50] <shake> so in that command echo "options snd-hda-intel model=mbp55"
[22:50] <mirko1> joallard: "doesn't boot anymore" is a wide range from doesn't even get power to i cannot log in, you need to provide a lot more infro at what step it stops
[22:50] <shake> gives the output of the string "options snd-hda-intel model=mbp55"
[22:50] <shake> and then that pipes into sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[22:50] <shake> which adds the line to the file?
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> shake: exactly
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> shake: I just added the > /dev/null  because the command also outputs to the screen
[22:51] <joallard> My bootup stops. How do I find the problem?
[22:51] <ActionParsnip> joallard: remove the boot options: quiet splash   and you can watch the boot
[22:52] <MrAtlas> Hello all! I got a call from a friend saying he couldn't watch videos on that site letmewatchthis.com. i
[22:52] <shake> that's so gnarlyo
[22:52] <Dulak> shake: Yup, and tee is like a T shaped pipe, output comes in, and is output to 2 different places
[22:52] <shake> that's awesome
[22:52] <shammancer> Ok is there a way to make an alias for a directory?
[22:52] <shake> so in this case it was outputted to /dev/null and /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
[22:52] <shammancer> and what is ~ anyways?
[22:52] <Dulak> shammancer: you would symlink a directory: ln -s /path/to/source /path/to/destination
[22:52] <shake> ~ is your home directory
[22:52] <ActionParsnip> shake: its handy for adding junk to text files like that :)
[22:52] <joallard> ActionParsnip: I just did that. Last line is "starting timidity++ ALSA midi emulation [OK]". This doesn't seem to be the problem. What should I be looking for?
[22:53] <shake> that's awesome
[22:53] <shake> wait, but why did you output it to /dev/null?
[22:53] <MrAtlas> is there any plugin he can download or is he SOL. i knoe those sites are usually unsafe.
[22:53] <shammancer> How does ~ work is a better question? (Sorry about the question)
[22:53] <shammancer> the last one
[22:53] <summershyn> Have anyone tried FreeBSD?I want to try it ,but I don't know the diffrence between FreeBSD and Linux
[22:54] <szal> !ot | summershyn
[22:54] <ActionParsnip> shake: if you don't add it, it outputs to both the screen and file, so I shoved the screen text to /dev/null so it didn't show
[22:55] <Dulak> shammancer: it's part of the shell,  it's like an alias that is built in,  whenever the shell sees ~, it replaces it with your home directory
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> shake: ~ = /home/$USER = $HOME
[22:55] <ActionParsnip> shammancer: ^
[22:56] <shake> oh, ok
[22:56] <shake> ActionParsnip: thanks so much for the help man
[22:57] <felipe_Brz> is there a way to create a 'shortcut' to '/var/www' so I don't have to type cd /var/www *every* time ?
[22:57] <shake> ls | grep x
[22:57] <benwalburn> I'm trying to use wget to download a 105mb file on a poor connection, but the download always completes at around 20mb higher than it's supposed to be. What am I doing wrong?
[22:57] <shake> sorry, meant to do that in terminal lol
[22:57] <shammancer> so is there a way to use another symbol like ! for example to some other directory?
[22:57] <Dulak> felipe_: you could alias it: alias www='cd /var/www'
[22:58] <felipe_Brz> so cd www directs me to that directory?
[22:58] <Dulak> felipe_: if you alias it like that you just type www<enter>
[22:58] <felipe_Brz> cool
[22:58] <felipe_Brz> Dulak:  thanks
[22:58] <szal> but make sure beforehand that what you want to use as a shortcut isn't already in use for something else
[22:59] <shammancer> Thanks Dulak btw I think I figured it out
[22:59] <ActionParsnip> shake: np man, thanks for the gratitude :)
[22:59] <autojack> I'm having a very, very strange problem with a shell script in Ubuntu that was working fine in Debian. I have traced it down to one line, which runs 'source blah.' when I run that line manually, it works fine. when I run it via my shell script, it fails with no error output. as far as I can tell it is NOT this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/670191/getting-a-source-not-found-error-when-using-source-in-a-bash-script  I am calling /bin/bash explici
[22:59] <autojack> :)
[22:59] <autojack> this has been driving me INSANE since Friday.
[23:00] <ActionParsnip> autojack: why do you need to run source?
[23:00] <autojack> ActionParsnip: my bash script is trying to load rvm for itself.
[23:00] <szal> autojack: mind your line length, or use an IRC client that does the math for you & breaks the line automagically
[23:00] <autojack> that is how their docs tell you to do it.
[23:01] <haz3lnut> autojack: are you specifiying the full path of blah?
[23:01] <autojack> szal: surprised irssi doesn't do that.
[23:01] <Jordan_U> autojack: Please pastebin the entire script, or (better) a small script which demonstrates only the problem you're having.
[23:01] <Myrtti> autojack: splitlong.pl
[23:01] <szal> autojack: indeed it doesn't
[23:01] <autojack> haz3lnut: I am specifying it via "$HOME/foo/script"
[23:01] <szal> Myrtti: has that been fixed in the meantime for UTF-8 use?
[23:02] <haz3lnut> autojack: Does echo $HOME return what you expect in the script?
[23:02] <autojack> Jordan_U: good idea. let me see if I can narrow it down.
[23:02] <Myrtti> szal: I don't have problems with it, it's fine in my use but YMMV
[23:02] <autojack> haz3lnut: yeah, that's one of the REALLY weird things. when I echo it out running the script in the way that makes it work, AND not work, it's identical.
[23:02] <szal> Myrtti: I hadn't either when I still used Irssi, but there were problems w/ e.g. Russian text
[23:03] <autojack> oops hang on, someone in #rvm has a suggestion.
[23:03] <itaylor57> its a dash vs bash thing methinks
[23:03] <autojack> itaylor57: that was my guess, except that my script excplicitly has #!/bin/bash
[23:03] <itaylor57> dash donsn't know source bash does
[23:03] <autojack> AND I am running it 'bash script.sh'
[23:03] <szal> autojack: do you have bash installed? afaik, on *buntu bash is a symlink to dash
[23:04] <joallard> How do I see the past boot log?
[23:04] <Jordan_U> szal: No, /bin/sh is symlinked to /bin/dash.
[23:04] <autojack> yeah I am positive that I am running bash for real here, unless something EXTREMELY bizarre is going on.
[23:05] <autojack> I was bitten by the /bin/sh problem already as part of this process.
[23:05] <autojack> "problem" is not the right word perhaps ;)
[23:05] <autojack> but I fixed that.
[23:05] <jrib> autojack: why don't you pastebin the script, your attempt at running it, the output, and what you expected instead
[23:05] <haz3lnut> autojack: there's also #bash
[23:05] <root> hi
[23:06] <root> i'm new here
[23:06] <szal> root: don't IRC as root (unless you have no other choice)
[23:06] <Guest87023> i'm new,so i don't know my choice
[23:07] <autojack> jrib: let me see if the RVM guy can help, I think this might be a bug in his code. I'll come back if not.
[23:07] <autojack> I was just worried this might be another Ubuntu-specific thing, along the lines of the dash issue.
[23:08] <szal> Guest87023: for starters, don't run Xchat w/ superuser privileges
[23:08] <haz3lnut> autojack: I use source in a script and it works fine.
[23:08] <joallard> X says nvidia module not loading. Where do I see errors to that?
[23:08] <jrib> joallard: /var/log/Xorg.0.log usually
[23:09] <benwalburn> I'm trying to use wget to download a 105mb file on a poor connection, but the download always completes at around 20mb higher than it's supposed to be. What am I doing wrong?
[23:09] <joallard> jrib: Xorg.0 says to check kernel log, but nothing in kern.log says nvidia
[23:09] <troulouliou_dev> hi what is the best way to have an automatic uptodate Sun java ?
[23:09] <jrib> troulouliou_dev: use the repositories
[23:10] <troulouliou_dev> it is not in the repo anymore
[23:10] <jrib> !java
[23:10] <synergizm> good answer :D
[23:10] <jrib> troulouliou_dev: don't know then if you want to use oracle's version
[23:10] <synergizm> NOT !^^
[23:11] <troulouliou_dev> i v got some freeze with oracle sqldeveloper
[23:11] <haz3lnut> benwalburn: I'm guessing you're reading the size of the file wrong, whether MiB or MB
[23:11] <troulouliou_dev> i think this is maybe openjdk related
[23:11] <troulouliou_dev> but there is no repo that keep sun java uptodate
[23:12] <locuse>  hi.  i'm modifying my remote status-check scripts to use upstart rather than chkconfig.  "service --status-all" provides no run-level toggle info as "chkconfig --list --all" did.  i *do* see chkconfig pkg is available for Ubuntu.  is it still used/useful for the runlevel info? or is chkconfig considered deprecated, and there's an equivalent, more-informative "service ..." cmd?
[23:12] <locuse>   here's what the output of chkconfig looked like for me before -- http://pastebin.com/d5L97JJM.  note that it says nothing about actual running status, just the @boot per-runlevel toggle state
[23:12] <Oscailt> Ubuntu doesn't support Sun Java anymore, that is correct
[23:12] <benwalburn> haz3lnut: I've downloaded the file 4 times and I get a different size each time
[23:12] <haz3lnut> benwalburn: that's a problem
[23:13] <jrib> benwalburn: try wget -c if the server supports resuming
[23:13] <L3top_> where is available package data stored when one does an update?
[23:13] <wchan_> anyone can tell me approx. the order of magnitude of speedup for ATLAS vs netlib BLAS for vector-matrix multiplication of the magintude 1024x1024 sized matrices.... just approximately the order of magnitude of speed up.... trying to justify whether the pain of ATLAS is worth it...
[23:13] <benwalburn> jrib: I've been doing that. several times, in fact. maybe my connection is just too screwed up
[23:14] <bastidrazor> L3top_: you mean the .deb files it downloads?
[23:14] <jrib> benwalburn: shouldn't the file be getting bigger than?
[23:14] <L3top_> no... the available debs in the repositories
[23:14] <L3top_> which the install/upgrade checks against
[23:14] <Flip_> I know this Ubuntu channel - but I can't get into Apache2 or Linux - Does anyone know about Apache2 webdav user permissions on the (www-data) user account
[23:14] <Flip_> need help desparately
[23:15] <jrib> Flip_: #httpd is the apache channel
[23:15] <szal> heard someone say the other day that you don't use WebDAV unless you want to be hacked
[23:15] <benwalburn> jrib: why would the file become larger than it's listed on the internet? also the md5's don't match
[23:15] <szal> or was it webmin?
[23:15] <Flip_> I tried that one - I get red lined saying cannot send to channel
[23:16] <jrib> benwalburn: the file on your computer.
[23:16] <szal> *scratches head*
[23:16] <L3top_> There is a local cache somewhere which stores available packages in repos... I just want to know where that lives.
[23:16] <Jordan_U> !register | Flip_
[23:16] <Flip_> ubottu thanx
[23:16] <benwalburn> jrib: what about it?
[23:16] <zykotick9> L3top_: "available"?  packages that are downloaded are stored in /var/cache/apt/archives
[23:17] <jrib> benwalburn: it should be getting bigger...
[23:17] <ActionParsnip> szal: webmin doesnt work well with ubuntu
[23:17] <Flip_> well a side note then --
[23:17] <dell> good evening everyone
[23:17] <Flip_> anyone know a better way to manage files such s Word DOCS (my homework actually) remotely
[23:17] <szal> zykotick9: if you haven't gotten it yet, he talks about the pkg lists
[23:17] <benwalburn> jrib: but shouldn't it stop growing when the download completes? My download completes much larger than the original file
[23:18] <beandog> Flip_: google docs :)
[23:18] <jrib> benwalburn: oh, I thought it was the other way around.  Sounds like a server issue tbh
[23:18] <Flip_> I got webdav working but when I get home to access them on local drive I don't have permissions to make changes - everything I edited remotely is read only
[23:18] <L3top_> Yes zykotick9. When you type apt-get update, a list of available packages is downloaded for each repository. When, for instance, you type apt-cache policy, this local cache of available versions is checked against your installed (if any) version.
[23:19] <ActionParsnip> Flip_: dropbox :)
[23:19] <zykotick9> szal: thanks.  L3top_ ahh, sorry i'm not sure where/how that info is stored.  Good luck.
[23:19] <jrib> Flip_: just use ssh?
[23:19] <benwalburn> jrib: I was afraid of that. It would also explain why it doesn't work on my android dl managers either. I was hoping I was doing something wrong
[23:19] <dell> sudo apt-cache policy all
[23:19] <dell> oooop
[23:19] <dell> s
[23:19] <Flip_> I guess the main reason I was using webdav is to edit them on my ipad
[23:19] <jrib> dell: no sudo necessary there
[23:19] <zykotick9> dell: fyi, apt-cache doesn't require sudo
[23:20] <dell> okies
[23:20] <Flip_> can you access ssh through GUI
[23:20] <Flip_> ei - my macbook remotely
[23:20] <jrib> Flip_: yes, you can use fugu or maybe even default finder
[23:22] <Flip_> thanks for the advice.
[23:22] <dell> so if I wanted to install a package without any queries I'd do "sudo apt-get install -y <package>"
[23:23] <ActionParsnip> dell: sounds good
[23:23] <dell> cool
[23:23] <joallard> How do I see the last update package actions?
[23:23] <anthropos> the queries are generally there for your benefit, though
[23:23] <mobilenoob11> Hi
[23:23] <adrian_berg> !usb
[23:24] <L3top_> joallard: you can look in the /var/log/apt something
[23:24] <adrian_berg> !permissions
[23:24] <L3top_> one second
[23:24] <ActionParsnip> joallard: look in /var/log/dpgk.log
[23:24] <adrian_berg> i need read/write access to the usb drives that are plugged into the computer
[23:24] <Flip_> one other question? Would anyone know who to run a scheduled recurring script in terminal - such as "sudo chown -R user:group /path/path"
[23:24] <dell> didn't know that, and I have been using Ubuntu for a while although I never really used the terminal much till I started using Arch
[23:24] <adrian_berg> can someone help me?
[23:24] <adrian_berg> !udev
[23:24] <joallard> Thanks L3top_ & ActionParsnip, had a memory blank
[23:25] <Flip_> whats up Adrian
[23:25] <mobilenoob11> What is the ram requirement for Banshee?
[23:25] <L3top_> found it
[23:25] <mobilenoob11> It keeps crashing
[23:26] <L3top_> /var/lib/dpkg/available for anyone who cares
[23:26] <Flip_> Would anyone know who to run a scheduled recurring script in terminal - such as "sudo chown -R user:group /path/path"
[23:26] <Jordan_U> mobilenoob11: As long as you have swap, no application should be crashing due to lack of RAM.
[23:26] <Panthalaimon> Hello there. I have a question. I mainly use Ubuntu for my daily computing needs, but I have an NTFS drive with bad blocks on it that I use as a go-between drive, and CHKDSK /R gives me a BSOD when I try to run that, from a different Windows install, so I have to use another OS. I thought Linux had something in ntfsprogs or NTFS-3G for this, but ntfsfix does not, and there's no man page for ntfsck... can anyone help?
[23:27] <OysterCult> what are the main differences between 11.04 and 11.10
[23:27] <mobilenoob11> Don't know why its crashing then, othert han my antique system.
[23:27] <Flip_> one is .06 higher
[23:27] <anthropos> i realize this doesn't answer your question, but using a modern drive with bad blocks is kinda scary....
[23:27] <Quantum_Ion> OysterCult, version number
[23:27] <szal> OysterCult: 6 months of development
[23:27] <Jordan_U> Panthalaimon: You have a hardware problem, and hardware problems with disks tend to get worse not better. There is nothing that any software can do to prevent your drive from eventually dieing.
[23:28] <L3top_> at least I think thats it...
[23:28] <Quantum_Ion> Panthalaimon, Buy a new drive without bad blocks problem solved
[23:28] <anthropos> I would rescue the data, wipe the drive and then toss it
[23:28] <mirko1> Flip_:  cron job
[23:28] <Flip_> Quantum_Ion i agree
[23:28] <Quantum_Ion> Flip_, :)
[23:28] <Flip_> mirko1 is that a scheduler that runs in gnome>
[23:29] <OysterCult> like to update from 11.04 to 11.10 but I see some of the posts here and some programs have conflicts.
[23:29] <Panthalaimon> Jordan_U, Quantum_Ion: I am aware of that, and am planning to get a new drive, the data has been backed up, but in the meantime, I still need the drive, is there a way to mark those bad blocks as bad blocks from Ubuntu so that the OS does not BSOD on me?
[23:29] <Quantum_Ion> Panthalaimon, Oh boy !
[23:30] <anthropos> does the badblocks command not work
[23:30] <OysterCult> If I were to update would I lose my data for Thunderbird and things like that?
[23:30] <Panthalaimon> Had a similar problem with an ext3 drive, but that was easy, native support and all.
[23:30] <Panthalaimon> anthropos, It would, but I'm not sure how to use that to achieve my goals.
[23:30] <Jordan_U> anthropos: the badblocks command will find bad blocks, but it won't change the filesystem to avoid them.
[23:30] <mirko1> Panthalaimon: if it really has bad blocks and neither the disk nor Windows/Linux can handle it, that you really should replace the disk
[23:31] <Panthalaimon> anthropos, It mentions feeding the output back to an fsck program. While there appears to be ntfsck, there's no man page for it.
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> OysterCult: no, only the binaries are updated and the config files for the app, the userdata in $HOME is untouched
[23:31] <OctoByte> hey guys, I'm not sure if this is the right place, but I just installed arch linux. Trying to boot up for the first time I get an error
[23:31] <OctoByte> "fsck.ntfs not found"
[23:31] <szal> OctoByte: try #archlinux
[23:31] <OctoByte> thanks
[23:31] <Quantum_Ion> szal, :)
[23:32] <Panthalaimon> mirko1, Linux can handle it. It will read data happily from it, and complain about the bad blocks in the kernel logs, but it's reading it from any Windows machine that's an issue, to the extent that CHKDSK from a Windows box will crash, when trying to scan for bad blocks.
[23:32] <mirko1> Flip_:  no, it's the basic scheduled task system of linux/unix. you can try GUI frontends such as gnome-schedule
[23:32] <Panthalaimon> Also, fsck.ntfs does not link to anything ntfs. :S
[23:33] <Quantum_Ion> I can not emphasis how important it is to have a good portable USB hardrive for Ubuntu Linux backups
[23:33] <Jordan_U> Panthalaimon: There is no fsck for ntfs, period.
[23:33] <tiox> [Low priority] 11.10, using a GTK3 theme but special applications like update-manager and synaptic do not adopt it. Is this strictly a GTK2 limitation or is it resolvable?
[23:33] <Jordan_U> Panthalaimon: You might get some helpful advice in ##windows.
[23:33] <tiox> I remember once this happened when theming, all I did was made a synlink to the theme I am using and it picked it up.
[23:34] <tiox> symlink*
[23:34] <Flip_> mirko1 i found the man 5 crontab and i'd rather run it through terminal anyway - thanks I like this already
[23:34] <Panthalaimon> Jordan_U, ntfsprogs and NTFS-3G both have ntfsfix and ntfsck... latter has no man page.
[23:34] <Mike9863> Icons are showing on menus and buttons even though I have the options disabled under desktop -> gnome -> interface under gconf-editor. How can I disable these icons?
[23:34] <anthropos> i don't have a man page for it either
[23:34] <Panthalaimon> Jordan_U, I suspect that's because it does not do much.
[23:35] <anthropos> i assume you had no luck finding documentation online?
[23:37] <Panthalaimon> anthropos, Not much, no.
[23:38] <anthropos> sorry I can't be of more help, it looks like you are on the right track though
[23:38] <jlkkljh> it opened up a grub command prompt what do i do?????
[23:38] <Entelin> what is the proper way to adjust the niceness that a service runs at? (perminately)
[23:39] <Panthalaimon> Gah. I keep hitting brick walls with this NTFS stuff. I'm glad I switched but the wife is not that keen.
[23:39] <anthropos> i assume your new drive is in the mail....
[23:39] <Loshki> Panthalaimon: There isn't much, but see: http:/http://www.ehow.com/how_6827933_check-ntfs-partition-linux.html/www.ehow.com/how_6827933_check-ntfs-partition-linux.html
[23:39] <jlkkljh> it opened up a grub command prompt what do i do?????
[23:40] <anthropos> jlkkljh: what are you trying to do
[23:40] <jlkkljh> boot kubuntu
[23:40] <anthropos> a live cd or an install?
[23:40] <jlkkljh> install
[23:40] <azend> I've got a question
[23:40] <anthropos> did it work before?
[23:40] <paradizelost> Hey all, i'm trying to set up apache so that i can connect to ssh via a it. any idea how i'd do this? what i'm finding is for double-hop proxies
[23:40] <jlkkljh> it will on 1 mode
[23:41] <azend> If Ubuntu were a flavour, what flavour would it be?
[23:41] <Panthalaimon> Loshki, Having a look now.
[23:41] <jlkkljh> but
[23:41] <anthropos> i don't really understand jlkkljh, can you be more specific about your problem and how it arose
[23:41] <mirko1> Entelin: edit the init script that starts the service
[23:41] <ActionParsnip> paradizelost: like a web based ssh? so you don't need an SSH client?
[23:41] <Quantum_Ion> Panthalaimon, Have you tried Parted Magic ->http://partedmagic.com/doku.php?id=screenshots
[23:42] <jlkkljh> it says no prefix assigned
[23:42] <faryshta> hi. How do I install flash?
[23:42] <paradizelost> ActionParsnip, more of a proxy that i can have ssh tunnel through
[23:42] <Panthalaimon> Loshki, I've literally hit about as much information. I was hoping on something that told me what flags it took.
[23:42] <jlkkljh> i press esc on keyboard
[23:42] <Panthalaimon> Quantum_Ion, No. But I'll look.
[23:42] <glen_3b> faryshta: Software center
[23:42] <Quantum_Ion> Panthalaimon, Burn an ISO it helps you graphically partition your hard drives
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> paradizelost: use the vnc guide but use apache
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> !vnc | paradizelost
[23:42] <Entelin> mirko1, thats what i'm doing now, I just wanted to see if there was a builtin way
[23:43] <anthropos> paradizelost: are sure there isn't a better way to do what you want
[23:43] <Panthalaimon> Quantum_Ion, I'm not looking to partition it, just a means to mark the bad blocks as such from outside of Windows.
[23:43] <jlkkljh> i choose acpi work arounds
[23:43] <Karmaon> How do I NOT install grub or ubuntu onto a flashdrive?
[23:43] <Loshki> Panthalaimon: you'll find the same thing others have already said. Some distros have ntfsck, some don't, there is a workaround for those that don't, but it's no substitute for a true windows chkdsk.
[23:43] <jlkkljh> it boots
[23:43] <ActionParsnip> Karmaon: don't use the ubuntu ISO, you wont install either
[23:43] <paradizelost> anthropos if there's a java or otherwise based web client that doesn't require the connection to come from my actual client PC, but rather the web server i log onto, that would work as well
[23:43] <paradizelost> but i'm hoping to be able to tunnel other traffic through it
[23:44] <jlkkljh> to the blue screen of kubuntu and it brings up amouse and thats it
[23:44] <anthropos> paradizelost: what do you want to do?
[23:44] <Quantum_Ion> Panthalaimon, You might want to use Parted Magic and create new and clean NTFS partition ?
[23:44] <jlkkljh> and than it freezes up but the mouse can still move
[23:44] <anthropos> ssh will let you tunnel traffic w/o apache
[23:44] <paradizelost> anthropos connect via ssh to several systems i have behind my firewall, also tunnel RDP to my PC
[23:45] <paradizelost> the problem is, my work network blocks ssh
[23:45] <mirko1> Entelin: not that i know off :-)
[23:45] <jlkkljh> it tries to load something but nothing happens
[23:45] <Quantum_Ion> Panthalaimon, Sometimes when I upgrade Linux I will make a back up of my /home /etc/ directory and scrub the old Linux partition with Parted Magic
[23:45] <Panthalaimon> Quantum_Ion, I would, but then, I think that I could get away even with mkfs.ntfs.
[23:45] <anthropos> paradizelost: did you try just changing the ssh port from 22 to something else
[23:45] <anthropos> e.g. the https port
[23:45] <paradizelost> anthropos i need apache on 80/443 though.
[23:45] <jlkkljh> thats my problem
[23:45] <anthropos> i doubt they do any real packet inspection
[23:45] <paradizelost> http://dag.wieers.com/howto/ssh-http-tunneling/ << is what i've been trying to follow
[23:45] <anthropos> pick a different port. do they allow any others?
[23:46] <Panthalaimon> Quantum_Ion, I've done it too in the past, just not with Parted Magic. Whatever comes with my flavour of Ubuntu's usually been more than enough in the past. Just not for this particular NTFS crossover nonsense. :(
[23:46] <jlkkljh> it will not load the login screen
[23:46] <azend> mirko1: blocks ssh or blocks port 22 :o
[23:46] <jlkkljh> but can see a mouse
[23:46] <anthropos> otherwise you could put in some iptables rules to deal with this in a clever way (e.g. route traffic coming to 443 from you work to a local ssh)
[23:46] <paradizelost> anthropos i'm trying to do it on a port that will always be open. no place is going to block 443 or 80
[23:46] <Entelin> mirko1, ok thanks
[23:46] <anthropos> doing it THROUGH apache seems like a bad idea, to me.
[23:46] <jlkkljh> cant go to any other mode but acpi work arounds
[23:46] <L3top_> it was /var/lib/apt/lists btw
[23:47] <eph_> hi, how can I change xfce's panel background? I created a gtkrc-2.0 file containing a path to the image but it keeps telling me "unable to locate in pxmap path"
[23:47] <Quantum_Ion> Panthalaimon, Okay I see you use the Ubuntu Linux partitioner sometimes when I upgrade the Ubuntu Linux partitioner has a mind of it's own and will resize partitions on it's own and preserve old Ubuntu Linux it's weird
[23:47] <paradizelost_> be back in a bit. supper
[23:48] <anthropos> you may be able to achieve what you want via single packet authorization
[23:48] <anthropos> i.e. routing traffic from a remote host to ssh provided the appropriate knock is given
[23:48] <anthropos> otherwise route to apache
[23:48] <Panthalaimon> Quantum_Ion, I tend to over-write the Ubuntu installs, keeping my /home.
[23:48] <jlkkljh> i did get past the grub screen
[23:49] <mirko1> eph: you need to set  pixmap_path accordingly
[23:49] <scottj> what command should I run to see continuously what apps/pids are trying to make outbound connections and the destination ip/port?
[23:49] <Quantum_Ion> Panthalaimon, What is funny is you can take Parted Magic and delete partitions on anyone's computer and they end up losing their whole operating system
[23:50] <eph_> mirko: yes, i have set up the path in consequence and checked in terminal, the path is correct
[23:50] <jlkkljh> it will not boot kubuntuboot kubuntu
[23:50] <ActionParsnip> jlkkljh: what GPU do you use?
[23:50] <Panthalaimon> Quantum_Ion, Definitely what I have in mind...
[23:50] <jlkkljh> ??
[23:50] <jlkkljh> gpu??
[23:50] <anthropos> paradizelost_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortKnocking is probably the best solution if you insist on ocnnecting to a port already occupied by the apache server
[23:51] <anthropos> and you want to be able to do it from anywhere (not just your work)
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> jlkkljh: video chip...
[23:51] <jlkkljh> idk
[23:51] <ActionParsnip> jlkkljh: does the system have a make and model?
[23:51] <jlkkljh> yes
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> jlkkljh: care to share it?
[23:52] <jlkkljh> gateway
[23:52] <ActionParsnip> jlkkljh: ok, which model gateway?
[23:52] <jlkkljh> hold on
[23:52] <jlkkljh> checking
[23:53] <anthropos> paradizelost_: this is probably more secure, but same idea: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SinglePacketAuthorization
[23:53] <jlkkljh> 510 sp gateway
[23:53] <anthropos> paradizelost_: you probably need the latter if you want to run on to of an open port (apache)
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> jlkkljh: ok let me search
[23:54] <Ginny> hello?
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> jlkkljh: and you get a black screen when you boot?
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> hi Ginny
[23:54] <jlkkljh> yes
[23:54] <SDr> hi guys, while trying to connect to a freesshd windows box, I'm getting "remote port forwarding failed for listen port" failure. Port isn't taken by any other service, and the same command to a linux box succeeds
[23:55] <SDr> freesshd has tunneling enabled
[23:55] <SDr> (reverse tunneling)
[23:55] <SDr> any ideas what might I be doing wrong?
[23:55] <ActionParsnip> !nomodeset | jlkkljh
[23:56] <Quantum_Ion> Panthalaimon, Burn an iso of Parted Magic http://partedmagic.com/doku.php?id=start and Dariks Boot Nuke -> http://www.dban.org/
[23:56] <jlkkljh> how do you boot that way????
[23:56] <SDr> what's even more strange, is that *after* I ssh in, I can open the port for listening
[23:57] <Quantum_Ion> Panthalaimon, Keep them handy use Darik's Boot Nuke to scrub your USB and hard disks clean
[23:57] <zykotick9> SDr: what does this have to do with ubuntu?
[23:57] <anthropos> SDr: what ssh command do you use
[23:57] <jlkkljh> i can press esc 2ce and get a grub command prompt but it says no prefix set before it boots this way
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> jlkkljh: you  should be holding shift at boot
[23:58] <jlkkljh> why
[23:58] <jlkkljh> what does that do
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> Quantum_Ion: or use shred from the ubuntu liveCD, or install bleachbit
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> jlkkljh: allows you to add boot options...
[23:58] <SDr> anthropos, ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-R 11000:mylocalnetcomputer:1433 -p 8081 -v
[23:59] <Quantum_Ion> ActionParsnip, Yeah I use bleachbit a lot
[23:59] <anthropos> SDr: if you use -f or -n does it make a difference
