[09:29] <jigo> can anyone know best mac theme for ubuntu 11.10?;
[09:29] <jigo> thanx
[09:29] <coolstar-ipod> !patience | jigo
[09:30] <spim> coolstar-ipod: I'm not a big fan of trying solutions that sort of stray from popular/vanilla distros.
[09:30] <spim> Because they usually don't feel as polished.
[09:30] <spim> Is Unity going to be standard from now on?
[09:30] <ikonia> jigo: the mac theme "macbuntu" is available, however I'd strongly advise against it due to the problems it has caused users in the past
[09:30] <spim> Or is it merely a test.
[09:31] <ikonia> spim: unity is the default ubuntu desktop going forward
[09:31] <spim> Okay.
[09:31] <theadmin> spim: It's going to be the standard dekstop for Ubuntu, Ubuntu TV and Ubuntu Liquid.
[09:31] <theadmin> spim: Try Xubuntu if you want something gnome2-like
[09:31]  * coolstar-ipod is hoping Unity is fixed in Ubuntu 12.04
[09:31] <ikonia> coolstar-ipod: you've said that many times - stop
[09:32] <jazz9> Hello, anyone know how to downgrade lucid-updates/main openjdk-6-jre-lib 6b20-1.9.10-0ubuntu1~10.04.2 to a previous version on 10.04 server ?
[09:32] <spim> theadmin: Okay.
[09:32] <spim> Thanks pals.
[09:33] <theadmin> jazz9: We don't support downgardes, however, look if the previous version is still hanging somewhere in /var/cache/apt/archives
[09:33] <zennig> downgrade
[09:33] <jazz9> hmm, its a fresh install... so its not in there
[09:33] <coolstar-ipod> theadmin: what's Ubuntu liquid?
[09:33] <trijntje> How can I find out which repository a certain program (virtualbox) is located in?
[09:34] <theadmin> coolstar-ipod: Ubuntu for phones (not out yet)
[09:34] <jazz9> The app that I run doesn't support the latest version

[09:46] <noris> i will ask jim what this is
[09:46] <selite> jutnux: I didn't repeat the question. Are you blind or something?
[09:47] <jutnux> selite: Was just for reference.
[09:49] <CaptainQuirk> Hi
[09:50] <RaTTuS|BIG> lo
[09:50] <selite> Hello, kdevelop doesn't save when I adjust the font and line numbers can someone help me out?
[09:50] <CaptainQuirk> I'm using screen multiplexer and I can't find the command to display a prompt in a newly created region of a window
[09:50] <RaTTuS|BIG> CaptainQuirk - terminal
[09:53] <CaptainQuirk> RaTTuS|BIG, I did C-a tab to switch in the newly created region then C-a : to enter screen command line and typed "terminal"
[09:53] <CaptainQuirk> It says unknown command
[09:53] <MonkeyDust> terminal is not a command
[09:54] <RaTTuS|BIG> CaptainQuirk - try ctrl-alt-t or even gnome-terminal
[09:54] <MonkeyDust> i havent followed, what are you trying?
[09:54] <CaptainQuirk> I split the window vertically
[09:54] <CaptainQuirk> I have a new region without terminal prompt
[09:55] <CaptainQuirk> I would like to have one so I can use commands in the second region
[09:55] <MonkeyDust> i did that with c-a | , but i didnt like it
[09:55] <CaptainQuirk> c-a | splits the window but does'nt prompt with usual shell prompt
[09:56] <overclucker> are we talking about screen?
[09:57] <CaptainQuirk> yes
[09:57] <CaptainQuirk> found it, it's c-a c
[09:57] <overclucker> c-a c will start a terminal in the current container
[09:58] <MonkeyDust> i use byobu/screen
[10:00] <inkernod> hi

[10:02] <MonkeyDust> !backtrack
[10:02] <faryshta> !tor
[10:03] <inkernod> but bt5 is an ubuntu?
[10:03] <faryshta> !wget
[10:03] <overclucker> faryshta: export http_proxy nad https_proxy, they are envionment variables
[10:04] <Myrtti> inkernod: no, it's BT5
[10:04] <faryshta> overclucker, I get this error when I tried. ERROR 501: Tor is not an HTTP Proxy.
[10:05] <inkernod> ok tnks
[10:05] <Bat> How may create a unix ffmpeg that works on every sort of linux distro?
[10:05] <overclucker> faryshta: ah, riight
[10:05] <overclucker> gotta use it as a sock proxy, i forgot
[10:05] <faryshta> overclucker, how?
[10:05] <ikonia> Bat: you can't really as each linux distribution is slightly different
[10:05] <llutz_> faryshta: tsocks or socksify
[10:06] <faryshta> overclucker, I already set SOCKS_PROXY variable.
[10:06] <faryshta> !tsocks
[10:06] <faryshta> !socksify
[10:07] <faryshta> llutz, how do I use them?
[10:07] <pangolin> !msgthebot > faryshta
[10:07] <html> inkernod, backtrack is ubuntu based
[10:08] <faryshta> pangolin, already tried ubottu
[10:08] <overclucker> faryshta: an easier alternative would be to use curl
[10:08] <pangolin> faryshta: ok well please use /msg ubottu to search
[10:09] <Bat>  If i say to you that im running a simll├Īr to ffmpeg on windows on every linux rekeases statically? what you say?
[10:09] <faryshta> pangolin, already did -.-
[10:09] <faryshta> overclucker, never used curl, let me check.
[10:10] <overclucker> faryshta: curl --socks5-hostname localhost:9050 http://icanhazip.com -o filename

[10:13] <stud5g> ßśö
[10:13] <pangolin> stud5g: please stop
[10:14] <Slart> metaspike: tried lm-sensors?

[10:15] <faryshta> where does chromium store its cookies?
[10:15] <Bat> say any
[10:16] <cjoke> is there a wasy way of finding out what repository a package come from CLI?
[10:16] <html> faryshta,  if thats a joke , its funny
[10:17] <html> !cli
[10:17] <Slart> faryshta: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1841901/cookie-file-for-google-chrome-unix
[10:17] <html> !repository
[10:17] <cjoke> what is the best way if finding out what packages a repository contains from CLI ? :-)
[10:17] <Slart> faryshta: not sure if that info is accurate or outdated though.. might be a good start though
[10:17] <faryshta> Slart, thanks.
[10:17] <Bat> ?
[10:18] <rigved> cjoke: apt-cache search <pattern>
[10:18] <pangolin> cjoke: apt-cache show package
[10:18] <metaspike> or use synaptic/packagesearch
[10:18] <Bat> Who is able?
[10:18] <cjoke> thanks
[10:19] <Slart> Bat: do you have a ubuntu support question?
[10:19] <Bat> I have a opinion
[10:20] <MonkeyDust> Bat  wrong channel
[10:20] <Slart> Bat: try #ubuntu-offtopic for discussion and opinions
[10:20] <metaspike> lm-sensors, sensors-detect, a couple modprobes and sensors was all it took. thanks Slart
[10:20] <deitarion> metaspike: A little something else you might want --> https://github.com/ssokolow/profile/blob/master/supplemental/cpufreqd.conf
[10:20] <Slart> metaspike: you're welcome
[10:21] <jigo> when i download apps from ubuntu software one error displayed like "Requires installation of untrusted packages" how can i solve the error..???
[10:21] <metaspike> also that thanks deitarion.
[10:22] <metaspike> jigo, i think it might has something to do with GPG authentication key missing something or a rather. tried - apt-get update from terminal?
[10:22] <jigo> i tried aptget update but still....
[10:23] <metaspike> it sounds more like a warning than an error
[10:23] <jigo> ya
[10:24] <jigo> i tried aptget update but still....its not working
[10:24] <varikonniemi> how come i do not need to enter a password when updating with update manager
[10:24] <jigo> when i download apps from ubuntu software one error displayed like "Requires installation of untrusted packages" how can i solve the error..???
[10:25] <Bat> ffmpeg linux equal ffmpeg windows anyone has done dis?
[10:25] <varikonniemi> you have not added the gpg key for some ppa
[10:25] <MonkeyDust> varikonniemi  either you are in a live session, or the password was entered less than 10 minutes earlier
[10:25] <jigo> how can i add gpg key
[10:25] <MonkeyDust> varikonniemi  in a terminal, that is
[10:26] <varikonniemi> MonkeyDust, i just woke up, so i have certainly not entered the password in hours and hours
[10:26] <Slart> jigo: either through terminal or in the software sources settings thingy
[10:26] <adi_> ulist
[10:26] <jigo> ok
[10:27] <deitarion> Bat: You're not making any sense.
[10:27] <adi_> ulist
[10:27] <Bat> ffmpeg
[10:27] <varikonniemi> and i have noticed this lack of password on all my 11.10 machines, for the last some months
[10:27] <MonkeyDust> Bat  wrong channel
[10:28] <Bat> ffmpeg linux equal ffmpeg windows not dreaming ha?
[10:29] <Bat> Without wine too
[10:29] <html> MonkeyDust,  we still support it somewhat  and he can be  here... that how i got it is here
[10:29] <ikonia> Bat: what are you talking about ?
[10:29] <Slart> Bat: I'm sure it is wonderful in all kinds of ways but this channel is for ubuntu user to user support. Take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[10:29] <html> bat ?
[10:30] <ikonia> Bat: is this somehow related to ubuntu
[10:30] <deitarion> Bat: Your English is nonsense.
[10:30] <Bat> But still have a problem with ffplay
[10:30] <ikonia> Bat: what is your question for the ubuntu support channel you are in
[10:31] <html> !ffmpeg
[10:31] <html> Bat,  what do you want to do with ffmpeg?
[10:31] <AdvoWork> if ive got 8GB of files(1000's of files) is there a way I can speciify a size of say 3GB and split all of those files into folders of that size?
[10:32] <deitarion> AdvoWork: Do they need to be ordered or grouped in any specific way?
[10:32] <ikonia> AdvoWork: you could use du to get the sizes, bc to add up the files and when they hit 3036 copy that list of files into folder 1, and repeat
[10:32] <Bat> Any supporter has done a ffmpeg linux equal dis is on windows? unix nothing more
[10:33] <deitarion> I think Bat is somehow under the misconception that ffmpeg for Linux is an inferior port of ffmpeg for Windows.
[10:33] <AdvoWork> deitarion, no, aslong as the file names stay the same(as they are recorded conversations (timestamped filenames)
[10:33] <MonkeyDust> AdvoWork  use the find command and filter the files on size, cp them to a map
[10:33] <ikonia> Bat: you are in #ubuntu, and ubuntu support channel, do you have a question regarding ubuntu that you need help with yes/no
[10:33] <deitarion> AdvoWork: `apt-get install gaffitter`. It's a tool that, given a list of files, will spit out sublists to efficiently fit them to volumes of a specified size.
[10:35] <Bat> Im trying to display the future
[10:35] <deitarion> I'm thinking either Bat is a troll or his grasp of English is too poor for us to help him.
[10:36] <LjL> Bat, i think #ubuntu-br could help you better, they speak portuguese there
[10:36] <jigo> anyone know some funny server for telnet
[10:36] <LjL> !ot | jigo
[10:36] <Bat> A simple ffmpeg bin on linux hoW a simple ffmpeg bin on windows ha?
[10:37] <faryshta> Bat,  I don't understand your question.
[10:37] <sipior> Bat: are you asking how to take a linux binary of ffmpeg and run it under windows?
[10:38] <deitarion> I think he's actually asking how to compile a static, single-file ffmpeg binary.
[10:38] <html> Bat,  what do you want? ffmpeg  install  here it is...       http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095
[10:38] <Bat> some day you may understand
[10:39] <metaspike> download ffmpeg source, get full dependencies then cross compile with mingw32 - would be ok i guess, but it wouldn't display the future
[10:39] <sipior> Bat: some day you may learn to communicate properly. could we hasten that day slightly?
[10:39] <MonkeyDust> Bat  has invented a Windows equivalent to ffmpeg, that's what he is saying
[10:39] <Bat> I have ffmpeg dont need
[10:39] <LjL> Bat: Sinto muito em dizer isso, mas as pessoas aqui (inclusive eu) n├Żo entende o seu Ingl├¬s. Join #ubuntu-br para obter suporte em Portugu├¬s, por favor.
[10:40] <Bat> you very well understood!
[10:40] <LjL> if you say so
[10:40] <LjL> everyone here is guessing as to what you mean

[10:42] <James13433> llutz, using shh to see in that folder nothing comes up when I do ls
[10:42] <html> MonkeyDust,  did he really?
[10:42] <deitarion> If so, he needs to look at http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

[10:44] <LjL> html: well he's gone anyway
[10:44] <llutz_> James13433: do you run procmail or similar, delivering mails into users home or whereever?
[10:44] <Stormx2> faryshta, what are you trying to do?
[10:45] <html> LjL,  but did you see all the helping hands that try to get him to here he need to be?
[10:45] <James13433> to be honest llutz I don't know. I just know I login wiht webmail.domain.com and use that
[10:45] <faryshta> Stormx2, use curl with a socks proxy to connect tor.
[10:45] <LjL> html: still you were all shooting in the dark as to what he actually meant to say

[10:49] <llutz_> who cares about a troll, keeping this channel busy for nearly 60 mins
[10:49] <faryshta> What does this error means? curl: (7) Can't complete SOCKS5 connection to <IP_ADDRESS>:0. (4)
[10:49] <LjL> Yozap: and you say that after asking a question and waiting two minutes? maybe it's true, but that doesn't seem enough to judge.
[10:50] <LjL> Yozap: also i don't have a laptop, but still, you may certainly want to explain the actual problem you're having for people to help

[10:54] <Yozap> My problem I have is that the hotkeys for brightness just randomly switch between completely dark or little light, no good light. Ive tried doing a bios update, and ive tried install the xbacklight packadge with no great success of better light, the pc i am running is Asus EEE 1000P with fully 100% installed Ubuntu 11.04 with no other OS. What should i do to get better light?
[10:54] <faryshta> What does this error means? curl: (7) Can't complete SOCKS5 connection to <IP_ADDRESS>:0. (4)
[10:55] <deitarion> faryshta: It means something is wrong with your proxy settings.

[10:56] <rigved> xaashi: the kernel compile link will tell you how to download the ubuntu kernel source. you can continue from there to do your kernel dev work.
[10:56] <deitarion> faryshta: Tor?

[10:57] <faryshta> deitarion, yes.
[10:57] <LjL> Yozap: already been through this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1412922 ?
[10:57] <xaashi> rigved: thanks
[10:58] <deitarion> faryshta: I've used Tor and I wish I could help, but it just worked for me the last time I did and I never needed to use curl (downThemAll! or wget for me), so all I know is what I've said.
[10:59] <faryshta> deitarion, how do you use wget with tor?
[10:59] <rigved> xaashi: you are welcome.
[10:59] <faryshta> deitarion, tried HTTP_PROXY but it no longer works with wget.
[11:00] <deitarion> faryshta: I forget, but probably HTTP_PROXY. It was a while ago. Let me see if Google has anything.
[11:00] <LjL> faryshta: maybe you should try http_proxy instead, i'm no longer sure which one of the two is correct...
[11:01] <faryshta> LjL, I get this error when I tried. ERROR 501: Tor is not an HTTP Proxy.
[11:01] <llutz_> faryshta: curl -x socks5://localhost:9050  http://site.com
[11:01] <faryshta> llutz, let me try :)
[11:02] <llutz_> tor is not a http_proxy, as the error states
[11:02] <LjL> faryshta: i think you should chain tor to privoxy
[11:02] <deitarion> faryshta: I think, at the time, I was using privoxy to bridge the gap.
[11:02] <deitarion> Either that, or you could use Polipo in non-caching mode.

[11:12] <LjL> Yozap: nice
[11:12] <LjL> faryshta: for wget, you put localhost:port in http_proxy, i don't remember the default port though
[11:12] <deitarion> faryshta: Same way you tried to use Tor with curl... but with Privoxy sitting between Tor and curl, you won't get "ERROR 501: Tor is not an HTTP Proxy".
[11:12] <mbutubuntu> xsessiox-errors doesn't give me any useful information so I don't know how to solve this problem
[11:13] <deitarion> s/curl/wget/
[11:13] <deitarion> faryshta: Do you need help with setting up Privoxy or just with pointing wget or curl at it?
[11:13] <faryshta> LjL, doesn't work. It sends a 501 error since tor isn't an http proxy anymore.
[11:13] <mbutubuntu> ikonia, even if dynamic I think exist any utility or [temp]file in which I can see the problem.... ! I've used this Ubuntu configuration for months but yesterday appered the problem
[11:14] <deitarion> faryshta: You misunderstand.
[11:14] <deitarion> faryshta: You point wget or curl at the port for Privoxy and then point Privoxy at the port for Tor.
[11:14] <faryshta> deitarion, anything that works :) I want to download files from tor using wget or curl.
[11:14] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: what ?
[11:14] <faryshta> deitarion, how do I do that?
[11:15] <LjL> faryshta: you mustn't put the *tor* port there, but the *privoxy* port. look at the privoxy config file (/etc/privoxy.conf i suppose) to find out what it is
[11:15] <deitarion> faryshta: http://yoodey.com/using-http-proxy-tor-privoxy-ubuntu-natty-1104
[11:15] <mbutubuntu> ikonia, what problem? about a third of the second screen is viewable, but not viewable with videos... I haven't compiz.
[11:16] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: I have no idea what you are talking about, I've not been talking to you / helping you
[11:18] <mbutubuntu> ikonia, you're right but you said that the Screen configuration is dynamic. I can't think there is no way to watch the configuration...!
[11:18] <llutz_> mbutubuntu: use xrandr
[11:18] <sweet>  i have an external hard disck and  when iam trying to mount in ubuntu 10.10 it is not possible to mount when i was try to sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/my external hard disck name after that when i hit enter it display "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" please help me?
[11:18] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: it will read the file if it's there, if not it goes to dynamic
[11:18] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: just create a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:19] <mbutubuntu> ikonia, ooohhh, so the conffile is always /etc/x11/xorg.conf... wonderful
[11:19] <Guest39990> real problem
[11:19] <Guest39990> ikonia is right
[11:19] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: if you create a file in that location it will get read
[11:19] <LjL> sweet: that's not a good sign, but are you very sure sdb1 is the right partition? try doing "sudo file -s /dev/sdb1"
[11:19] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:19] <sweet>  i have an external hard disck and  when iam trying to mount in ubuntu 10.10 it is not possible to mount when i was try to sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/my external hard disck name after that when i hit enter it display "mount: you must specify the filesystem type" please help me?
[11:19] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: note the "X" in X11
[11:20] <LjL> sweet: no use repeating your question after a minute...
[11:20] <th^2> what would be the most effective way to make ubuntu faster?
[11:20] <LjL> th^2: getting a faster computer
[11:20] <MonkeyDust> th^2  not using compiz / eye candy
[11:20] <th^2> LjL, idiot
[11:20] <mbutubuntu> ikonia, yes the X is uppcase
[11:21] <LjL> th^2: language and respect, please kthx
[11:21] <th^2> MonkeyDust, well im using 2d
[11:21] <AreEssay> Hello. My wireless functionality on the latest Ubuntu is non-existent. Can anyone help me get it fixed?
[11:21] <MonkeyDust> th^2  using a different / lighter desktop environment
[11:22] <deitarion> th^2: Have you tried using LXDE via `apt-get install lubuntu-desktop`?
[11:22] <deitarion> That's about the lightest desktop environment you can get without MacGyvering up something yourself from bits and pieces.
[11:22] <sweet> LjL:when i try "sudo file -s /dev/sdb1" it display /dev/sdb1: DOS executable (COM)
[11:23] <LjL> sweet: uuuuh.
[11:23] <th^2> MonkeyDust, yes that maybe the best way. wanted to know if theres any known issues
[11:23] <LjL> sweet: virus? i don't know, that really should have told you about the partition type. have you used that drive under windows?
[11:23] <LjL> sweet: what filesystem is it *supposed* to contain?
[11:23] <th^2> deitarion, X11 you mean?
[11:23] <MonkeyDust> th^2  and install preload and add vm.swappiness = 10 to sysctl.conf
[11:23] <Kost68> ąÜą░ą║?
[11:24] <MonkeyDust> !gr| Kost68
[11:24] <LjL> MonkeyDust: wasn't greek
[11:24] <th^2> MonkeyDust, hmm my swappiness is very small always.
[11:24] <deitarion> th^2: X11 is the graphical subsystem on which all full-featured X11 desktops depend. Using it in this context isn't really meaningful.
[11:25] <LjL> almoxarife: please don't CTCP people randomly :)
[11:25] <sweet> LjL:i  do no the file sysytem  but the hard disck name is " my passport"
[11:25] <MonkeyDust> th^2  preload loads the most frequently used applications faster
[11:25] <Kost68> Joined #ubuntu-ru
[11:25] <th^2> deitarion, sub-system? like unity? :S
[11:25] <onre> th^2, you might try using some very lightweight window manager on top of X11, such as xmonad, twm, etc
[11:26] <LjL> sweet: maybe sdb1 is some kind of special partition. try mounting sdb2 instead?
[11:26] <th^2> MonkeyDust, i may need to take a look at that
[11:26] <juniour1> hi
[11:26] <juniour1> hi
[11:26] <deitarion> th^2: How much do you know about how a Linux desktop is put together?
[11:26] <Kost68> ąöčĆą░ą╣ą▓ąĄčĆą░
[11:26] <onre> th^2, that way you lose the "desktop metaphor" functionality but still have windowing, so you can run graphical applications and terminals
[11:26] <LjL> Kost68: /join #ubuntu-ru
[11:26] <juniour1> i want to browse ubuntu home folder in in win 7 how to do this.........??
[11:27] <onre> th^2, be warned though, most of these window managers are configured by editing text files :)
[11:27] <th^2> deitarion, theres the X server :D
[11:27] <juniour1> i have installed ubuntu 10.10 via wubi
[11:28] <juniour1> and i wanna browse yhe home folder of ubuntu 10.10 in win 7
[11:28] <juniour1> can nay one help me here
[11:28] <th^2> onre, well maybe I just switch to lubuntu because my PC isnt the oldest possible. quad core and everything
[11:28] <deitarion> th^2: The X server handles managing access to the screen, keyboard, and mouse between multiple applications. On top of that, you have a window manager (draws window borders, handles focus, resizing, and dragging, etc.)
[11:28] <MonkeyDust> juniour1  i guess you need explore2fs
[11:29] <onre> th^2, sure, whatever suits you. i used twm from '90s until 2008 or so, and still occasionally consider switching back to it because of its speed and lightness ;)
[11:29] <deitarion> th^2: You also have a program which draws your desktop icons (if you have them) and a program which draws your panels (launcher menu, task bar, etc.)
[11:29] <juniour1> Monkey Dust idient got you man
[11:29] <juniour1> ??/
[11:29] <juniour1> explain briefly
[11:29] <deitarion> juniour1: Windows doesn't normally understand Linux hard drives. There's a program for Windows called explore2fs that can read them.
[11:29] <MonkeyDust> juniour1  explore2fs is win program you can use to read ext partitions
[11:30] <th^2> deitarion, so in basic ubuntu installation theres xserver and top of that unity? what else?
[11:30] <th^2> onre, looks pretty old :D
[11:31] <deitarion> th^2: Unity is the panel program. The window manager is Compiz. Last I checked, the desktop icons were drawn by Nautilus.  All of them are heavy because they value glitz.
[11:31] <onre> th^2, yup, i just configured it so that menus, window list and window decorations were black and different shades of green. one non-computer-oriented friend commented something about my computer being "just like they are in the movies" :p
[11:32] <MonkeyDust> juniour1  on your own risk http://users.skynet.be/gbachot/media/explore2fs-1.07.zip
[11:32] <th^2> deitarion, its funny because linux is considered as light weight alternative for windows..
[11:32] <deitarion> th^2: SOME Linux is considered a light-weight alternative.
[11:32] <th^2> onre, :D maybe i boot to that when my friends come to visit
[11:33] <MonkeyDust> !pm
[11:33] <deitarion> th^2: The combination of Unity and Compiz is trying to compete with Windows and MacOS for graphical glitz, so it's not lightweight.
[11:33] <habanany> I need help , anybody can tell me how to apply this on my HTC EVO 3d [06:26] (372) :- SSC Networks (www.ssc.no) for sponsoring this server!
[11:33] <th^2> deitarion, to me basic ubuntu doesnt seem to be any faster than win7...
[11:34] <LjL> th^2: well if people told you it would be, they weren't particularly right.
[11:34] <deitarion> th^2: It probably isn't... but it was faster than Vista and, if you start into something lighter than Unity+Compiz, it WILL be faster.
[11:34] <habanany> Si tienes problemas al escuchar el audio, abre cualquier reproductor de MP3, y utiliza la opcion de abrir URL y coloca la siguiente direccion mms://media.enet.cu/radiorebelde
[11:34] <deitarion> th^2: KDE 4 is about as heavy as Unity+Compiz, so that's out.. but Xfce is as light as GNOME 2 and LXDE is even lighter.
[11:35] <habanany> Help
[11:35] <MonkeyDust> !es| habanany
[11:36] <mbutubuntu> how to know what video driver is using X ?
[11:36] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: it's in the log
[11:37] <mbutubuntu> .xsession-erros ?
[11:37] <mbutubuntu> or /var/log/messages?
[11:37] <deitarion> th^2: The main thing you have to understand is that what you know as "Linux" is a stack of bits and pieces that you can mix and match. Replace the heavy bits and your system will look more plain, but be faster.
[11:38] <ikonia> mbutubuntu: the xorg log
[11:38] <mbutubuntu> ok
[11:38] <th^2> deitarion, yes im aware of that. have been using zenlinux on my laptop for 2 years. its pretty fast but not suitable for desktop
[11:39] <habanany> Thanks obottu
[11:40] <deitarion> th^2: Give LXDE a try with `apt-get install lubuntu-desktop`. That's reasonably polished (I use it as my only desktop interface) and quite light. If it turns out you need something a little more polished, explore `apt-get install xubuntu-desktop`. You can mix and match components from the two to get the feature set you want. (eg. Xfce devs explicitly refuse to implement tabbing in their file manager)
[11:41] <jolaren> I get connection refused when I try to connect from my work laptop.. it has always worked well before, but I tried to fiddle with keys and then removing them causing my server to refuse the connection. Now I have to use my other server for socks5 proxy in order to connect - what can I do?
[11:41] <dxd828> hey people!
[11:41] <ikonia> jolaren: undo what you did
[11:41] <ikonia> jolaren: sounds like you've messed up the keys
[11:42] <jolaren> sddddddddddddddddddddd
[11:42] <ikonia> jolaren: please don't do that
[11:42] <jolaren> ikonia: thats what I did
[11:42] <ubuntuaddicted> morning, I have gzip in the background tearing up my CPU and memory. I lsof it but I can't understand what's doing it, can someone help if I post a picture
[11:42] <jolaren> ikonia: sorry, it was lag.. i use socks5 for proxy now between my servers
[11:42] <jolaren> ikonia: causing them to become unresponsive
[11:42] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: what does it matter ? it's zipping your file
[11:42] <deitarion> th^2: Here's an example screenshot from someone's Lubuntu desktop --> http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NREnK3_XnLE/ThBrUm-TpwI/AAAAAAAAHXc/RrEBxtfqtyE/s1600/capture.png
[11:42] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: what more do you want to know
[11:42] <ubuntuaddicted> i want to STOP IT
[11:42] <ubuntuaddicted> please
[11:43] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: kill it
[11:43] <ubuntuaddicted> BUT want to learn what's backing up
[11:43] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: nothing, it's gzipping the file
[11:43] <deitarion> ubuntuaddicted: Have you tried the pstree command?
[11:43] <ubuntuaddicted> deitarion, no
[11:43] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: if you don't want to wait for it to finish, kill it
[11:43] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: if you want it, wait for it to finish
[11:43] <ubuntuaddicted> deitarion, any special syntax?
[11:43] <deitarion> ubuntuaddicted: Nope. Just run it.
[11:44] <ubuntuaddicted> ikonia, i don't know what it's backing up, plain and simple.
[11:44] <ubuntuaddicted> deitarion, thanks
[11:44] <ubuntuaddicted> will check  it out
[11:44] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: it's not backing anythign up
[11:44] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: it's gzipping something you've told it to
[11:44] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: it's probably log rotation if it's an automatic process
[11:44] <ubuntuaddicted> ikonia, sigh, it's archiing something and I don't know what. understand now?
[11:44] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: no, as you're not being clear
[11:45] <deitarion> ikonia: He didn't explicitly start gzip and he wants to know what's going on.
[11:45] <ikonia> ubuntuaddicted: if this is an automated process that you didn't start, it will be something like log rotate, and a simple "ps -ef | grep gzip" will show what the command it's running is
[11:45] <ubuntuaddicted> deitarion, thank you, that answered my question. appreciate your help. have a good day
[11:45] <ikonia> deitarion: there you go, simple explination
[11:46] <LedM> where is the ffmpeg channel??
[11:46] <deitarion> LedM: Google for something like "ffmpeg IRC" (without quotes)
[11:46] <LjL> LedM: it's surprisingly called #ffmpeg
[11:46] <ikonia> LedM: ##ffmpeg maybe ?
[11:46] <ikonia> oops #ffmpeg
[11:46] <ikonia> LedM: or #ffmepg ?
[11:46] <ikonia> this channel isn't a yellow pages for freenode channels, really starting to get old
[11:47] <LedM> it is not
[11:47] <ikonia> LedM: just joined it - it is
[11:47] <sam___> hi, i have a multi-wan setup and want to setup a static route for my outgoing email (postfix)
[11:47] <ikonia> LedM: either way, not an ubuntu issue to help you find a channel
[11:49] <LedM> a ubuntu issue: is that ffmpeg, VLC, and other softwares running in ubuntu, may be equals on windows without Tra-shared libraries
[11:49] <ikonia> LedM: no, sorry, we don't help you find channels, nor do with help you with windows libraries
[11:50] <aum___> Hello everyone, i have manually remove gnome packages from ubuntu because i wanted a command line system, its booting fine but if have to press "Alt + Ctrl + f1" to go to command line . is there any way to do this automatically , like changing runlevel or something ?
[11:50] <ikonia> LedM: you where in here earlier asking the same question - do not ask again
[11:50] <htmlinprogress> LedM,  ,  huh? we  can help you with gettin it to work on ubuntu
[11:51] <ikonia> htmlinprogress: his question has nothing to do with ubuntu - please let it go
[11:51] <LedM> windows libraries run statically, ubuntu libraries run in tra-shared libraries in lib dir, and i broke the tra-shared, in ubuntu turning the .so libraries into a container how windows use UNDRSTND??
[11:52] <ikonia> LedM: no, try #ffmpeg
[11:52] <ikonia> LedM: or #ubuntu-br
[11:52] <htmlinprogress> ikonia, ok
[11:52] <LedM> ubuntu is a mistake windows trying to seduct with lib dir
[11:52] <xsl> hi there, is it possible with the CD of xubuntu make a default install on a RAID1 configuration?
[11:53] <ikonia> LedM: #ubuntu-br or #ffmpeg please - last warning
[11:53] <LedM> xsl yes
[11:53] <htmlinprogress> ot!
[11:53] <ikonia> xsl: depends on the raid type
[11:53] <xsl> LedM: im missing out something, i didnt see the place where i can define the raid
[11:53] <ikonia> xsl: hardware raid, sure, software raid no, fakeraid, most likley not depending on the device
[11:54] <xsl> ikonia: i wanted MDADM raid ( software raid )
[11:54] <aum___> Hello everyone, i have manually remove gnome packages from ubuntu because i wanted a command line system, its booting fine but if have to press "Alt + Ctrl + f1" to go to command line . is there any way to do this automatically , like changing runlevel or something ?
[11:54] <LedM> in a new server ext2
[11:54] <ikonia> xsl: you'll need to use the alternative install CD for that
[11:54] <deitarion> !repeat | aum___
[11:54] <xsl> ikonia: its all command line install right?
[11:54] <LjL> aum___: removing the login manager doesn't suffice?
[11:54] <ikonia> xsl: no, it's ncurses menu drive, quite easy
[11:55] <xsl> ikonia: ok ty... going to take a look
[11:55] <xsl> btw.... on a raid1 configuration (2 discs no hotspare) - if one disk breaks .. the system still boots up right?
[11:55] <ikonia> xsl: correct
[11:55] <aum___> LjL , Now the size of my desktop is "726 MB" so i think i have removed sufficient  thing ...
[11:56] <LjL> aum___: eh, if the login manager is still there, you will still get a graphical login prompt. "sudo apt-get remove lightdm" or "sudo apt-get remove gdm" depending on your Ubuntu version.
[11:56] <xsl> i will need to rebuild the raid later wen i insert a new disk ( still a bit new to software raid  :P )
[11:56] <xsl> thx for your support ikonia
[11:56] <ikonia> xsl: it's one command to add a new disk and tell it to mirror across to it
[11:57] <aum___> LjL, how can gdm can reside , i have removed every instance of X server ...
[11:57] <LjL> aum___: then if you've removed X i really don't see why you'd need to press ctrl+alt+f1 to login textually... what do you *see* before pressing ctrl+alt+f1?
[11:58] <llutz_> aum___: removing gnome won't remove X
[11:58] <aum___> LjL: blank screen with a blinking "_" on on the top
[12:02] <LjL> aum___: funny. i don't know, maybe it's plymouth (the boot splash) that switches to terminal 7 or 8... try removing plymouth if you don't mind not having a splash screen
[12:05] <rooks> is there a way to add some extra option to boot parameters in ubuntu's grub2 autogened mess?
[12:06] <overclucker> aum___: have you tried out any window tilers? they beat the heck out of ttys
[12:06] <aum___> LjL, yes i have also removed plymouth themes , but when i remove plymouth it gives me warning and also try to remove mysql and linux-generic-*
[12:06] <LjL> aum___: ugh :(
[12:07] <LjL> rooks: is /etc/default/grub not enough?
[12:08] <NimeshNeema> How do i open SWF file (Shockwave flash i suppose) ? I am not too sure whether they contain code or are they like executables ?
[12:08] <rooks> LjL, that what i was looking for! thanks :)
[12:08] <LjL> aum___: tried putting "nosplash" instead of "splash" in the linux options?
[12:09] <aum___> LjL , ok let me try
[12:11] <rom4ever> hi guys
[12:11] <rom4ever> could you help me ?
[12:11] <MonkeyDust> rom4ever  if you're sweet
[12:12] <rom4ever> ok MonkeyDust
[12:12] <rom4ever> :)
[12:12] <[ptr]xyz> so, whats your problem?
[12:12] <rom4ever> my wonderful 11.10 works well but every time I reboot machine
[12:12] <theadmin> NimeshNeema: If you have Flash installed, open them with any browser with NPAPI support (e.g. Firefox, Chrome, Chromium)
[12:12] <rom4ever> I get this error : running /scripts/init-bottom ... done adding 2096444k swap on /dev/sdb1 ecc EXT3-fs (sda2): using internal journal
[12:13] <rom4ever> and boot stops there
[12:13] <rom4ever> blinking cursor
[12:13] <rom4ever> and stop :(
[12:13] <rom4ever> so I noticed that if I start in recovery mode
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> rom4ever  it says ext3, i bet you're using it in combination with ext4
[12:13] <NimeshNeema> theadmin: i actually am working on source code of a web-site and found some flash files. wanted to know if i can read the code from .swf files. they open up in browser
[12:13] <rom4ever> and remount disks all goes well
[12:13] <MonkeyDust> rom4ever  ext4 has journalling, i think ext3 has not
[12:14] <rom4ever> but anytime I have to make same thing
[12:14] <theadmin> NimeshNeema: No, you can't, they're pretty much like compiled binaries (like Windows .exe files, for instance)
[12:14] <rom4ever> ah ok
[12:14] <NimeshNeema> theadmin: oh kewl. thanks a ton !!!
[12:14] <rom4ever> so what can I do to fix it ?
[12:14] <aum___> LjL: same blank screen with a blinking "_" on on the top
[12:14] <rom4ever> thnx MonkeyDust
[12:14] <MonkeyDust> rom4ever  i'd say: backup important files and format ext3 to ext4
[12:15] <aum___> LjL: ok just tell me how to boot to tty1 directly...
[12:15] <rom4ever> this machine is in production state cause it's used for monitoring...
[12:17] <rom4ever> and I don't understand why this issue is raised now
[12:18] <rom4ever> MonkeyDust: I have one only disk with 2 partition one for data and second for swap
[12:19] <MonkeyDust> and?
[12:19] <rom4ever> yes
[12:19] <g00se> I've lost count of the number of times i've used a live disk and found a problem with wireless proprietary drivers - usually Broadcom. Of course, the mandatory system restart is then impossible. Is there a standard way of packing them all into an extra partition or something?
[12:19] <noordung> Hi guys. Where can I talk to some Ubuntu (Ayatana/AppMenu) devs?
[12:21] <LjL> aum___: err, i would of course if i knew how
[12:21] <noordung> Well, its #ayatana if anyone wonders.
[12:21] <NimeshNeema> g00se: this isn't an issue with the current releases of Ubuntu
[12:21] <Nfisher> Hi all! Im in need of a terminal-chat-tool with which i can chat to a friend of mine over the net.. any recommendations?
[12:21] <LjL> Nfisher: chat over what protocol?
[12:22] <Nfisher> LjL, i want a direct connection
[12:22] <texas> hey yall
[12:22] <NimeshNeema> g00se: u can activate wireless drivers without a restart.  I was using 11.4
[12:23] <Guest45165> hi
[12:23] <Nfisher> LjL, pretty much like netcat but more handy, since netcat cuts of the other-one typing when one issues a line
[12:23] <noordung> g00se, type "sudo modprobe <driver name>"
[12:23] <rom4ever> MonkeyDust: and nothing, only one disk
[12:23] <Guest45165> I am using oracle vmware on ubuntu
[12:23] <noordung> g00se, in the terminal, of course
[12:23] <NimeshNeema> g00se: 11.04 should work fine (as far as i remember)
[12:24] <NimeshNeema> or u can boot from a pen-drive
[12:24] <Guest45165> I want 2 add wireless interface on this vm
[12:24] <g00se> noordung: I was going to try that but wasn't sure what the module was
[12:24] <Guest45165> is it possible to add
[12:24] <texas> i have 11.04 (fresh download) but i dont have acces to a ethernet cord just the wifi in the house
[12:25] <texas> so the only way i can get online is usuing a old 10.04 live cd
[12:25] <noordung> g00se, I use the wl broadcom driver, so sudo modprobe wl usually does it for me... you can "locate bcm | grep /lib/modules" to see what other bcm drivers there are :/
[12:26] <Guest45165> I am using oracle vm on ubuntu and I want to add wireless interface on this vm
[12:26] <auronandace> Guest45165: oracle vmware? do you mean virtualbox? why do you need a wireles interface?
[12:26] <Guest45165> I added ethernet card on this vm
[12:26] <ikonia> Guest45165: you won't be able to add the wirless card directly to the vm
[12:26] <aum___> LjL, then can you please tell me who knows...
[12:26] <ikonia> Guest45165: you'll have to do a bridge
[12:26] <g00se> noordung: I wonder why the system claims to be 'downloading' it when it handles prop drivers?
[12:27] <Guest45165> ya auranadace
[12:27] <Guest45165> ya
[12:27] <Guest45165> I have bridge
[12:27] <LjL> Nfisher: i can't find anything like that, apart from a graphical "qchat" :\
[12:27] <luigi> server/Irc.crocmax.net
[12:27] <g00se> noordung: (As if it really did, locate would fail)
[12:27] <Guest74601> server/Irc.crocmax.net
[12:27] <Nfisher> LjL, me neither.. but i guess there has to be something liek it
[12:27] <noordung> g00se, hm... It must be trying all over then. BTW, make sure your Wifi's switch is on.
[12:28] <Guest45165> I run lspci  but wireless wasn't display it
[12:28] <noordung> g00se, how come?
[12:28] <g00se> noordung: Because the locate database wouldn't have been updated since the 'download'
[12:29] <noordung> g00se, "sudo updatedb" then ;)
[12:29] <texas> when i try to open jcoky for my drivers i get an error package indexes failed please check your network status  most drivers will not be available
[12:29] <texas> jockey
[12:29] <texas> im seriously about to pull my hair out
[12:29] <g00se> noordung: I wonder how it downloads without a network connection though ? ;)
[12:30] <noordung> g00se, I wonder how you want them to work without having them installed. Or am I missing something?
[12:30] <texas> any one?
[12:31] <noordung> g00se, Usually you plug in a wired LAN, let it take care of that, and then see if the drivers work
[12:31] <g00se> noordung: Well i was thinking more of copying them if they were missing
[12:31] <Guest45165> any one help me out how to add wireless interface in oracle virtualbox
[12:31] <noordung> g00se, that *can* work, but it may take you a while to get all of the dependencies right.
[12:31] <LjL> Nfisher: there is of course "talk", but it requires a daemon running
[12:31] <loculinux> lol
[12:31] <loculinux> ola
[12:32] <loculinux> ...
[12:32] <loculinux> ;x
[12:32] <loculinux> -

[12:32] <FloodBot1> loculinux: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[12:32] <noordung> texas, Jockey works over the Internet. You need to have a connection.
[12:33] <texas> then why does it work when i use my old live cd
[12:34] <Nfisher> LjL, yeah, i might read into talk a lil
[12:34] <noordung> texas, it probably isn't. just telling you that it is.
[12:34] <texas> i dont have acces to a hard line
[12:34] <g00se> noordung: Yes. It would just be a way around no network problem. I'm guessing that the 'downloading' thing is false and that they're really in the ramdisk. If so, i'll try modprobing it, though i'm surprised about the 'system requires restart' business. But of course there could be firmware issues too...
[12:35] <texas> btw im pretty green for future warning
[12:35] <noordung> g00se, "system requires restart" is an easy way of telling someone to modprobe :)
[12:35] <noordung> g00se, the kernel loads modules upon modprobe or restart.
[12:36] <texas> after removing bmwl-kernal -source i used the one thats in the restricted folder on the cd and i cant activate it
[12:36] <texas> becasue its not showing up on jockey
[12:37] <g00se> noordung: >>is an easy way of telling someone to modprobe Yes - slightly too dumbed down perhaps? ;)
[12:38] <Jne> Hello everyone.
[12:38] <texas> hey
[12:38] <Jne> Is this a chan help for ubuntu ? )for newB like me ? )
[12:38] <noordung> g00se, no not really. From a design point of view, it's the best thing ever. Telling your normal office worker to open a terminal and write "sudo modprobe" is too difficult. Making a script that does that is too risky.
[12:38] <texas> Jne know any thing about broadcom drivers
[12:38] <theadmin> Jne: Yes
[12:39] <totalanon> I've got a question for anyone who's willing to help. I've messed up something, it seems.
[12:39] <James13433> the only way to copy a dirstory to the ver root of my server /var/qmail would be with SSH right?
[12:39] <Jne> So can i read PDF v7 with xpdf on ubuntu 11.1 ?
[12:39] <theadmin> Jne: Why not try it? lol. xpdf reads pretty much everything. If not, try Okular.
[12:40] <noordung> theadmin, everything PDF on linux is based on xpdf (pretty much)
[12:40] <g00se> noordung: Maybe, yes.
[12:40] <Jne> Thanks very much !
[12:40] <theadmin> noordung: Okular does things that other readers don't seem to do though. For instance it reads cbz. Who knows...
[12:40] <totalanon> I can't use apt-get anymore. I definitely screwed something up.
[12:40] <LjL> totalanon: what's the error?
[12:40] <g00se> Actually in most cases the system reports that it's installing 'Broadcom STA' drivers. I suppose that could cover more than just one module?
[12:41] <texas> can anyone help me to get my broadcom to work on my old compaq
[12:41] <noordung> theadmin, it's PDF renderer is based on xpdf code (if not xpdf itself)
[12:41] <totalanon> 'E:Type 'ain' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-gnome3-oneiric.list, E:The list of sources could not be read., E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
[12:41] <g00se> texas: We're just talking about Broadcom
[12:41] <LjL> totalanon: backup that file to somewhere else and remove it
[12:41] <noordung> g00se, get a connection because you cannot download drivers without any internet
[12:41] <texas> i saw that
[12:41] <totalanon> I tried adding a PPA, following a tutorial to make GNOME like ICS (Android 4).
[12:42] <LjL> totalanon: mv /etc/apt/sources.list.d/webupd8team-gnome3-oneiric.list ~/webupd8team-gnome3-oneiric.list.backup
[12:42] <texas> but came in at a point where i was lost
[12:42] <LjL> totalanon: then "sudo apt-get update"
[12:42] <texas> i can only get online using a old live cd
[12:42] <g00se> noordung: But this is where we came in ;) They must be already there as the system 'downloaded' them with no net connection - or did it?
[12:42] <texas> its a 10.04 lts
[12:43] <noordung> !broadcom g00se, texas
[12:43] <noordung> oh crap
[12:43] <noordung> !broadcom
[12:43] <noordung> g00se, texas ^^
[12:43] <theadmin> noordung: It's !fact | name
[12:44] <noordung> theadmin, thanks :)
[12:44] <texas> dude
[12:44] <g00se> OK, thanks. I'll take a look. In my case, at least, live raises the bar
[12:44] <texas> i have been through that thing 1000 times if once
[12:44] <texas> ive done the ofline steps
[12:44] <texas> and nothing
[12:44] <noordung> texas, 1. Have you established a connection to the Internet on the machine you want the drivers installed?
[12:45] <texas> i only have acess to wifi
[12:45] <AdvoWork> if im doing su user  and then mysql .......  how can I find out exactly what path its using to call mysql?
[12:45] <totalanon> @LjL It says permission denied for that file.
[12:45] <texas> but i can get it going with a live cd
[12:45] <LjL> totalanon: use sudo
[12:45] <texas> so no i have not for the 11.04 that is installed
[12:45] <theadmin> AdvoWork: which mysql
[12:46] <noordung> texas, then I don't know how much more can you do. Offline help is difficult for the dependencies. The driver needs to be built for the specific kernel. It won't work from other kernels.
[12:46] <texas> yeah i know if i could hook it up i could fix it
[12:47] <texas> but i dont have a way
[12:47] <llutz_> AdvoWork: why do you run mysql as root? "mysql -u root -p"
[12:47] <llutz_> AdvoWork: ignore me
[12:48] <ubuntuDan> test
[12:48] <noordung> texas, sorry. try and download the packages on a thumb drive, and install them manually on the machine. but that can be tricky. are you sure you cannot find any place where you can connect a LAN cable with internet to your computer?
[12:48] <glebihan> llutz_, you actually had a point even though he's not running as root
[12:48] <auronandace> !test  | ubuntuDan
[12:51] <Guest45165> can  wireless interface  manage though script like ifcfg-wlan0
[12:51] <texas> ive done that to no avail when i try to open additonal drivers it it gives me an erron and come up blank
[12:51] <iceroot> Guest45165: iwconfig
[12:51] <Peste_Bubonica> Hi... variants of Ubtunu, like Lubuntu uses normal software repositories, as the main version
[12:52] <iceroot> Peste_Bubonica: is that a question?
[12:52] <Guest45165> ya iceroot
[12:52] <Peste_Bubonica> I mean: I will receive software updates, as normal as the normal versions?
[12:52] <llutz_> Peste_Bubonica: all use se same repos
[12:52] <iceroot> Peste_Bubonica: yes
[12:52] <llutz_> the
[12:52] <Peste_Bubonica> im a new user at ubuntu, and im intersting in use LXDE..
[12:52] <Peste_Bubonica> thanks for the answer
[12:52] <iceroot> Peste_Bubonica: just an info about the next release, while the next release is lts (5 years support) the lubuntu version will not be supported on all packages
[12:53] <Guest45165> I run this command but it shows no wireless extensions
[12:53] <iceroot> Peste_Bubonica: but they all use the same repos and packages
[12:53] <g00se> texas: Look at the link above under "For temporary use with the LiveCD and LiveUSB environments.."
[12:53] <g00se> Thanks folks
[12:54] <Guest45165> I run iwconfig command but it shows no wireless extensions
[12:54] <Peste_Bubonica> iceroot, so, what you recommend, use xubuntu instead?
[12:55] <Peste_Bubonica> I dont want to use the full gnome version... I will use only for java devepment, etc
[12:55] <Peste_Bubonica> because that, im seeking for a lightweight version
[12:55] <theadmin> Peste_Bubonica: How about the server edition?
[12:56] <iceroot> Peste_Bubonica: no using lubuntu is a good idea
[12:56] <Peste_Bubonica> theadmin, im new on ubuntu... :)... im coming from gentoo
[12:56] <iceroot> Peste_Bubonica: but you will only have 18 month of support (of the lxde packasges) with 12.04
[12:56] <theadmin> Peste_Bubonica: You can use the server edition and apt-get install, say, openbox
[12:57] <Peste_Bubonica> understood
[12:57] <Peste_Bubonica> iceroot, hmmm..
[12:58] <Peste_Bubonica> but this version will not be discontinued?
[13:00] <PedroGomes> hi, shouldn't this mean that whit an apt-get update and install, I should be able to install the the ganglia-monitor without errors ?
[13:00] <PedroGomes> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ganglia/+bug/854866
[13:00] <fil_> iceroot, what does 'no support' actually means? an existing program doesnt get an update or it does but the update doesnt guarantee safe usage?
[13:07] <auronandace> fil_: no more updates, bug fixes or technical support
[13:08] <auronandace> fil_: essentially it means use at your own risk, if something goes wrong we can't help you
[13:09] <theadmin> fil_: No updates. You also can't install anything (the repositories will just go down)
[13:10] <fil_> auronandace, thanx
[13:10] <iceroot> fil_: "no support" means that there are no security-updates or bugfixes
[13:10] <iceroot> !eol | fil_
[13:10] <iceroot> fil_: "end of life" is a better description then "no support"
[13:10] <texas> hey guys i wanna try a irc on a network not listed under the connect drop down
[13:10] <iceroot> texas: /connect network
[13:11] <fil_> iceroot, the admin : thanx
[13:12] <fil_> is there a way to get these information through terminal?? If repositories are  down or up to when my distro is Still-Alive ? :)
[13:12] <iceroot> fil_: the tome of support?
[13:12] <iceroot> fil_: apt-cache show packagename   there is a field called support and normally have the value 18m
[13:13] <iceroot> fil_: apt-cache show vim   gives me Supported: 5y
[13:15] <iceroot> fil_: the length of support depend on the ubuntu version, normal ubuntu versions have 18 month, lts releases (until 10.04) have 3 years (desktop packages), 5 years cli packages, 12.04 will have 5 years for everything (but not lubuntu packages)
[13:15] <iceroot> fil_: and there are also repositories which dont have the full length of support (imo universe and multiverse)
[13:18] <fil_> iceroot: i am running 'show vim' and it says 18m (ubuntu 10.10).. vlc says nothing about supporting.. but i get the picture... thanx! Although i am still in a dilemma concerning upgrading the distro (i dont like gnome 3 & unity :))
[13:18] <fil_> thanx guys..
[13:18] <jigijigi> No wireless extension.what does it mean?
[13:18] <auronandace> fil_: there are other desktop environments
[13:19] <aum___> LjL, thanks for your support, the solution of my problem was to edit a line in grub.cfg --> " console= tty1" :)
[13:19] <auronandace> fil_: my favourite is xfce
[13:19] <_fury> Did anyone use glx-gears -stereo?  It gives an output but it does not look 3D.
[13:19] <ikonia> glx gears is 3d
[13:20] <LjL> aum___: oh. i grepped for "tty" in /etc/ and /boot/ but couldn't quite spot it.
[13:20] <sattu94> you mean 3D 3D or just 3D.. ?
[13:20] <iceroot> !info vlc
[13:20] <_fury> ikonia do you have shutter glases and tested it?
[13:20] <iceroot> fil_: vlc is in "universe" which is not supported
[13:20] <iceroot> fil_: universe is managed by the community and not canocial, normally you get also 18month support but that is not 100% sure
[13:21] <Vooloo> I have like 10 kernel selections in grub at boot, how do I reduce this to 3 at most?
[13:21] <_fury> ikonia im trying to get it working for 2 days now :(. It would be great if you could help me :).
[13:21] <theadmin> Vooloo: Remove old kernels
[13:22] <fil_> auronandace: true... i should not say what i dont like, but i should say what i do like (gnome 2.x).. do you know how i can in install xfce but without any apps besides the one i do have already?? just the GUI?? i am running a stripped down version of ubuntu and i would like to keep it that way...
[13:22] <theadmin> fil_: Then just "sudo apt-get install xfce4", what's the problem?
[13:23] <fil_> theadmin: doesnt this install also basic programs included in xfce??
[13:23] <theadmin> fil_: Well, yeah, XFCE can't work without those :/
[13:24] <_fury> Is anyone here who got glxgears -stereo working?
[13:25] <theadmin> fil_: "xubuntu-desktop", on the other hand, will install everything the XFCE edition of Ubuntu comes with (which is a lot more)
[13:25] <fil_> theadmin: "Xfce also provides numerous additional applications and plugins so you can extend your desktop the way you like, for example a terminal emulator, text editor, sound mixer,ical etc"... i mean without these..
[13:25] <theadmin> fil_: Uh, okay, let me search for it
[13:26] <theadmin> fil_: I can't find any other way around it
[13:27] <fil_> theadmin: i would like to keep, for example nautilus in gnome, but whatever xfce uses when i login with xfce(or nautilus again).. from what i understand i might have problems with different file manages co-existing in the same system... and since it is a stripped down edition, who knows what kind of error might come up:(
[13:28] <theadmin> !purexfce | fil_: You're still going to need those anyway, so just follow this guide
[13:28] <fil_> theadmin: thanx for the effort and information!!!
[13:29] <auronandace> fil_: nautilus and thunar can co-exist fine as far as i know
[13:29] <Pici> fil_, theadmin: Just don't install the suggests for the xfce4 metapackage and you should be fine.
[13:29] <theadmin> Pici: "suggests"? Sorry, I forgot how APT functions. Is that the "optional dependencies"?
[13:30] <robinduckett> theadmin: yes
[13:30] <_apostate_> what about just installing xfce4-panel and xfce4-session?
[13:30] <Pici> theadmin: essentially. The xfce4-goodies package has a lot of the extra bulk that isn't really needed to have a functioning xfce4 desktop.
[13:30] <theadmin> Pici: I know, but, say, Thunar is not in the -goodies, but in xfce4
[13:32] <totalanon> webupd8team/gnome3 doesn't want to work for me. Any idea why?
[13:32] <auronandace> !dontwork | totalanon
[13:33] <totalanon> It eats all my food and then begs for money to go out.
[13:34] <totalanon> But really, I try to add the repository and it adds it to sources.list.d, but says in terminal that it remains unchanged at the end of doing it.
[13:34] <m4k> How to install oneiric packages maverick
[13:34] <bazhang> m4k, you dont
[13:34] <OerHeks> m4k, not
[13:35] <auronandace> totalanon: repo? so it is a ppa then?
[13:35] <totalanon> Aye, it is.
[13:35] <auronandace> totalanon: ppas aren't supported here
[13:35] <totalanon> Hm. Well, just thought someone might possibly know.
[13:36] <m4k> I updated the kernel of maverick to oneiric now virtualbox not woking
[13:37] <auronandace> m4k: if you updated just the kernel then i'm not surprised
[13:37] <fil_> theadmin, pici : thanx ppl for the information...
[13:37] <LjL> m4k: that was FAR from a good idea.
[13:37] <theadmin> m4k: You have to reinstall vboxdrv: sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup
[13:37] <LjL> m4k: revert back to the Maverick kernel if you want any support.
[13:37] <theadmin> LjL: Virtualbox works just fine even on the 3.2 kernel, you just have to deal with vboxdrv manually
[13:38] <LjL> theadmin: ok, his system is still unsupported though ;)
[13:39] <theadmin> LjL: Huh... Indeed. Updating the kernel alone is weird
[13:39] <m4k> I want just upgrade the vb
[13:39] <Aivard> I'm sorry. I have a question here. I'm a beginner though
[13:39] <theadmin> Aivard: Just ask.
[13:39] <Aivard> I downloaded the GNOME desktop environment, with extra componets
[13:40] <Aivard> from the software center
[13:40] <jutnux> Aivard: Go on...
[13:40] <theadmin> Aivard: Okay. Please try to keep all of the question on ONE line, so it's actually readable
[13:40] <Aivard> then I removed it. are all the cache completely  removed from my computer?

[13:58] <jutnux> private_meta: I don't know, nor do I care - but what I do know is that it is not welcome in this channel.
[13:58] <LjL> private_meta: how is this ontopic?
[13:59] <eein_> can anyone recommend a hdd diagnostic program or do you just use smartctl?
[13:59] <jutnux> LjL: I've told him as well.
[13:59] <Tm_T> eein_: that's what I use
[14:00] <LjL> eein_: they're all kind of equivalent when it comes to SMART data, after all it's always the same data coming from the HDD... so yes, i just use smartctl. the only thing i can think of in addition would be something that tracks SMART data over time.
[14:00] <eein_> Tm_T, what about if the drive isn't performing well but hasnt generated errors
[14:00] <eein_> like measuring its speed
[14:01] <Aivard> how do I completely remove an application I installed from Ubuntu Software Center from my computer? Does the Remove button in the Ubuntu Software Center enough of a removing?
[14:01] <eein_> randoms seeks etc
[14:01] <fil_> Aivard : what do you mean cache?? maybe you can check in google 'apt-get remove --purge package' or 'sudo apt-get autoclean autoremove'. Check in google BEFORE using them to see if this is actually what you want  to do
[14:01] <LjL> !info bonnie++ | eein_
[14:01] <Aivard> fil_: Thank you :)
[14:02] <eein_> LjL, thanks i'll give that a look
[14:02] <fil_> Aivard: hope i helped.. the thing is IF these are the commands you need, they are run through a terminal... i dont use software center so i dont know how to do it there, probably there is an option

[14:06] <Thiago_Magalhaes> hi
[14:07] <elo_> anyone know if its easy to install ubuntu on an ASUS EEE PC 1011PX ?
[14:07] <_cb> clear
[14:08] <iceroot> elo_: normally there should be no problem
[14:08] <eein_> elo_, nope but i would try to liveboot it first

[14:09] <dr3mro> hey . is it acceptable to  create a post install script to add a new ppa in a user system ?? i am maintaining an application on launchpad and did change the ppa to a new ppa and the old is depricated now and i did changed the info about the ppa but users right now using the old one can i make postinst script to make the move ?? or that wont be acceptable ?
[14:09] <_cb> want to boot from a into a hypervisor and have the hypervisor load a Windows 7 VM. What hypervisor should I look at. Any distro better for this  than ubuntu server?
[14:10] <MonkeyDust> dr3mro  rather inform the users that a new version is available for download
[14:11] <auronandace> dr3mro: ppas are unsupported here, so if there is a problem with the ppa then we won't be able to help them (aside from advising them to remove the ppa)
[14:11] <elo_> im obviously kinda new to linux. but if i plug in a usb wireless network card into an ubuntu machine. does it have to have some specific drivers for it to work ?
[14:12] <robinduckett> elo_: sometimes
[14:12] <robinduckett> it may require the original windows drivers and ndiswrapper
[14:13] <mengu> hi. i am setting up two screens but this is how it changes after that http://i.imgur.com/E979y.jpg
[14:13] <mengu> how can i fix this?
[14:13] <robinduckett> elo_: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NDISwrapper
[14:13] <elo_> so it would not be that hard really to just get ahold of the windows driver and get it to work ?
[14:13] <mengu> i think it is removing the theme
[14:13] <elo_> oh ndiswrapper. i see
[14:15] <auronandace> mengu: i don't use unity but i've seen plenty of people complain about multi monitor support
[14:15] <elo_> in what cases would i have to use ndiswrapper ? O_o
[14:15] <ikonia> canonical are working hard to improve multi display support
[14:15] <auronandace> elo_: when there are no linux drivers
[14:15] <bazhang> elo_, for the eeepc? hardly likely
[14:16] <alkelie> is there a way to add empathy to the tray in gnome-3?
[14:16] <auronandace> mengu: using nvidia and xfce, my 2 monitor setup is working great
[14:16] <mengu> auronandace: it definitely sucks.
[14:17] <elo_> bazhang. yeah well i was thinking on connecting an external wifi antenna and for that i need a usb wifi card. so i just asked myself. perhaps ubuntu wont recognize the usb wifi. i really have no idea :)
[14:17] <ikonia> elo_: doesn't your machine already have a wirless network card in it ?
[14:18] <bazhang> elo_, the eeepc has an internal wifi already
[14:18] <cyclicflux> Whats happening fellow tech-enthusiasts
[14:18] <elo_> ikonia yes it does. but it doesnt have a rp-sma connector
[14:18] <jasef> cyclicflux: This is a support channel, there's #ubuntu-offtopic for other chat :)
[14:18] <ikonia> elo_: do you need an external connection ?
[14:18] <p3ter> hi
[14:18] <elo_> for the external antenna. to boost the signal strength
[14:19] <ikonia> elo_: do you think it will make a big difference ?
[14:19] <elo_> actually i dont know. but an external antenna should make a big difference compared to none at all
[14:19] <ikonia> I can't see it personally making a big difference
[14:20] <bazhang> elo_, not really. it's quite good as is
[14:20] <cyclicflux> I had a question. Its  kind of strange, on this machine I am using ubuntu 10.04, with gnome, and I have the monitor intermittently hibernate, and then not turn back on. When I leave the computer it hibernates, and then it is able to restore. However, interestingly enough while using it, it will intermittently hibernate and then it will not restore thereafter.
[14:20] <elo_> ikonia. what. :) are you saying an antenna in the eee pc is so good. it will not make any difference to connect an antenna ??
[14:21] <bazhang> elo_, do what you wish. won't make much of a difference though. and Ubuntu runs fine on those
[14:21] <ikonia> elo_: I'm saying arials like that rarley make a difference in home user situations
[14:22] <elo_> not sure how you define home user. but i think i will get more range with an external antenna. and that was all i was saying :)
[14:23] <auronandace> elo_: how much more range do you expect and how much do you need?
[14:25] <elo_> was thinking of building a yagi antenna. that would probably get me a few hundred meters
[14:25] <satya> hello
[14:25] <satya>  how to give permissions for document root files to writable by ftp and apache users
[14:26] <auronandace> elo_: few hundred meters? where do you plan to use it?
[14:27] <elo_> suburban like environment i guess i can call it
[14:27] <sharky1> i am setting the environment variable on ubuntu like that export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH and export PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin:$PATH, but it works only for the current shell. How do I make this global for all shell sessions?
[14:27] <elo_> im sorry my english is weak
[14:27] <Polah> Is it possible to remove packages like the GNOME Bluetooth packages without apt forcing the removal of gnome-shell and the like?
[14:28] <linuxearth> can i merge pdfs using xournal?

[14:39] <ian_> Ive installed 11.10 on a 12 inch Mac Powerbook G4, using a Precise Alternate PowerPC download, which I burned onto a DVD. I have two problems - 1) There are no desktop icons, and on Firefox Im getting dropouts or gaps on the pages. The System settings  seem to suggest that the Graphics Driver is unknown. 2) I cant connect to the internet wirelessly - the wireless symbol at the top of the screen tells me that I need firmware for a wireless connection to be establi
[14:39] <ian_> shed. Not sure what this means, but imagine that it has to do with Airport needing to be turned on. Where do I start? Ian

[14:40] <trirnoth> Ubuntu 10.04. Gnome 2.32.1 Way to force close a file manager (folder view) window? or restart gnome session without having to log out/ close all other applications?
[14:40] <Bogdaniel> i'm having a problem with iptables when i restart the computer the save is not restored ( added the command for restore in rc.local) can someone help me ?
[14:41] <LjL> trirnoth: "killall nautilus" should destroy all your file manager windows
[14:41] <trirnoth> LjL: Cool. Thanks. Worked.
[14:42] <ramon> ALGUM BRASILEIRO AI?
[14:42] <engla> ian_: install firmware for your wifi, should be in the repository (I don't know what kind you have, maybe broadcom/b43?)  Then check if you can install the proper graphics driver
[14:42] <LjL> !br | ramon
[14:43] <trirnoth> Bogdaniel: Check the options in /etc/network/interfaces. I've used   pre-up iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.rules
[14:44] <robinduckett> okay
[14:44] <robinduckett> so
[14:45] <ian_> Thanks Engla. I╚øm using a Netgear N150 router (Orange package deal) or are you referring to the Airport card in the Mac?
[14:45] <engla> ian_: wifi card of course
[14:45] <robinduckett> I have two servers. I need them to expose one Samba share, but replicate data and samba configuration, passwords, etc to eachother just incase one dies
[14:45] <robinduckett> I was using CTDB and GlusterFS to do this
[14:45] <ian_> OK, thanks
[14:46] <robinduckett> does anyone know of any alternatives as CTDB/Samba/GlusterFS doesn't seem to allow user passwords to be distributed
[14:50] <adom> can anyone help me with getting Dropbox working in Ubuntu? stopped working the other day and i cant tell why.
[14:50] <robinduckett> adom: reinstall it
[14:50] <adom> robinduckett: did that. twice.
[14:50] <adom> after hte install i do a "ps aux |grep dropbox" and there's nothing
[14:50] <robinduckett> adom: uninstalling the deb/pkg and reinstalling it isn't the same thing
[14:51] <robinduckett> check your .config or .local files for any leftover crap
[14:51] <adom> robinduckett: please explain. what exactly should i do to uninstall first.
[14:51] <robinduckett> ~/.config
[14:51] <robinduckett> ~/.local
[14:51] <adom> should i apt-get purge?
[14:51] <robinduckett> check there for crap leftover
[14:51] <robinduckett> then you may want to check if it installed any libraries
[14:52] <adom> those are both folders, should i just do a "find ~/.config" -iname "dropbox"?
[14:52] <adom> or do i need to grep the files?
[14:53] <adom> just did find commands and grep commands for both .config and .local directories and nothing found

[14:54] <elementz> hi all. i have two wireless nics and need to create a private access point. i have created a bridge, but when trying to add a nic to the bridge via 'sudo brctl addif br0 wlan0' i get 'can't add wlan0 to bridge br0: Operation not supported'
[14:55] <elementz> is that even the proper way to do it? what i need is to provide wpa encrypted access point to a friend. my first try was by using network-manager, but that did not work at all
[14:55] <elementz> anyone got an idea what i could do?
[14:56] <yermandu> elementz: could be the card, could
[14:56] <adom> robinduckett: how do i check if dropbox installed any libraries?
[14:56] <elementz> yermandu: hm. what makes you think so?
[14:57] <yermandu> elementz: because if connect more or less so, the card is most best probly issue
[14:59] <AdminSetup> Hi...Any Software available to open a password protected rar file ? (I have forgotten my Password of rar)

[15:01] <alecat> Hi
[15:02] <LjL> AdvoWork: something like "grep '\b[^<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[15:02] <LjL> AdvoWork: but i'm hardly a regexp master ;)
[15:02] <alecat> I have some troubles with ssh keys
[15:02] <AdvoWork> LjL, thanks, ill have  aplay :)
[15:03] <alecat> every user seems to need a key to log to my server now. Even the root
[15:03] <ikonia> alecat: you can't login as root
[15:03] <ikonia> alecat: the root account is locked/disabled by default in ubuntu
[15:03] <alecat> ikonia, it's not really ubuntu
[15:03] <alecat> but ssh is the sale
[15:03] <alecat> same

[15:03] <madm1ke> hi, is there a way to query what packages a ppa/ressource provides?

[15:09] <_nedR> hello.. i am getting BADSIG 40976EAF437D05B5  errors for oneiric-security and oneiric-updates.. googling  provides a couple of solutions to get the keys.. but how do iknow that these errors are not some security warnings
[15:09] <ix_> is kde3 in the repos?
[15:09] <LjL> ix_: no
[15:09] <ix_> ok
[15:09] <_nedR> to some real threat

[15:10] <adom> dropbox stopped working for me in ubuntu, can anyone help me find out why? can't find anything in log files by grepping for "*dropbox*".
[15:10] <geirha> adom: Without the *s I hope
[15:11] <adom> geirha: im dumb. thanks.
[15:11] <adom> was thinking of find command
[15:12] <adom> only thing that shows up is dpkg.log of installs. no errors.
[15:17] <AdminSetup> LjL : Thanks :)
[15:18] <_nedR> i have gotten these BADSIG errors before and each time follow some instruction off the internet without understanding what they're (something about cache inconsistencies or something)... but how do i know whether i am not unwittingly installing malware
[15:21] <adom> so i installed dropbox from the .deb package from their site, how do i uninstall it so i can reinstall it?
[15:21] <adom> is there like a -u flag for .deb files?
[15:21] <auronandace> _nedR: the only way to prevent you doing anything unwittingly is to understand what you are doing (read and learn)
[15:22] <LjL> adom: you can use apt-get to remove packages installed with dpkg
[15:22] <LjL> adom: (anyway, dpkg -r)
[15:23] <adom> LjL: i tried "sudo apt-get purge dropbox" but it said no dropbox package found
[15:23] <Lin-E> Synaptic ?
[15:23] <LjL> adom: you very sure it's installed and has that name?
[15:23] <iceroot> adom: dpkg -l \*dropbox\* | grep ^ii
[15:23] <blitzkev> I'm having trouble installing samba4 using apt-get
[15:23] <iceroot> adom: that will show you al packages installed with dropbox in the name
[15:23] <blitzkev> im going to pastebin my errors
[15:23] <adom> well, i guess it might not be fully installed, because ps aux |grep dropbxo returns nothing
[15:24] <adom> dpkg -l \*dropbox\* |grep ^ii
[15:24] <adom> whoops
[15:24] <adom> wrong terminla >.<
[15:24] <_nedR> auronandace: thanks for reply... the google results provide only instructions without much explanations.. i am looking for some simple explanation which doesn't hopefully involve learning the entire architecture of deb package systems
[15:24] <adom> iceroot: nautilus-dropbox comes up
[15:25] <blitzkev> http://paste.ubuntu.com/808683/
[15:25] <flintwingel> _nedR: it's not always easy to know whether or not you're installling malware. More likely in this case though is that you've added a new repository without adding the keys as well
[15:25] <iceroot> adom: then hat package is installed
[15:25] <sovereignentity> I have ubuntu 10.04 installed with music on another drive how can i gett the path of that drive?
[15:25] <adom> iceroot: so if its installed, why cant i apt-get purge it?
[15:26] <iceroot> adom: what is the output of "apt-get remove --purge nautilus-dropbox"
[15:26] <iceroot> adom: why should that not work?
[15:26] <LjL> adom: the package that's installed is "nautilus-dropbox", not "dropbox" which you tried to purge
[15:26] <_nedR> flintwingel.. no i haven't done anything of the sort.. this seems to be the cause : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/24061
[15:27] <Pici> You can't remove a random .deb that you've installed manually by using apt. The apt database won't know anything about it. Use dpkg instead.
[15:27] <_nedR> but don't really understand what it means
[15:27] <adom> iceroot LjL: that did some good. nautilus-dropbox purged successfully. however, my problem was always with the daemon not running. ill see if that works now on reinstall.
[15:27] <flintwingel> _nedR: wow... thats an old one
[15:28] <_nedR> its still an open bug
[15:28] <auronandace> _nedR: that bug report is for 12.04

[15:29] <g[r]eek> Hi fellas. We've got an Ubuntu server running on our LAN, which is plugged into our ADSL router. We also have 2 client laptops plugged into this router. When we connect to the router, we can access the internet from our clients. We can also ping the server by specifying its IP, ie: pine <IP_ADDRESS> - however, despite the server being correctly mapped in /etc/hosts, we cannot access it in our browser, ie: http://apollo/ - but ping apollo
[15:29] <g[r]eek> works. Any tips?
[15:29] <Pici> blitzkev: Take a look at some of the workarounds listed on this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba4/+bug/832465
[15:30] <ikonia> g[r]eek: what OS are the clients running ?
[15:30] <adom> iceroot LjL Pici: before i attempt to reinstall from .deb pkg, should i first do "dpkg -r dropboxpkg.deb"?
[15:30] <adom> to remove previous package installed
[15:30] <g[r]eek> Ubuntu and Windows ikonia
[15:30] <Pici> adom: without the .deb at the end.
[15:30] <iceroot> adom: not dpkg -r foo.deb  just dpkg -r foo
[15:30] <LjL> adom: it doesn't seem to actually be installed, so no, but no harm trying
[15:30] <ikonia> g[r]eek: where (which machine) did you update /etc/hosts ?
[15:30] <g[r]eek> ikonia, on Ubuntu client
[15:31] <iceroot> adom: when "dpkg -l \*dropbox*\ | grep ^ii is not showing anything dropbox is not installed
[15:31] <iceroot> correctly
[15:31] <ikonia> g[r]eek: can you access the server in your browser by IP address, eg: http://<IP_ADDRESS>
[15:31] <adom> ok i understand
[15:31] <alexandre_> hello guys,  How can I make to run my applications anywhere by its binary name e.g. firefox %u
[15:31] <ikonia> g[r]eek: (or whatever the servers IP is)
[15:31] <ikonia> alexandre_: echo $PATH - anything in those directories you just need to type the binary name
[15:32] <stevegjacobs> where are images 'stored' in open stack? I thought they were in /var/lib/nova/images/ but on my system, that folder is empty..
[15:32] <adom> this is weird
[15:32] <alexandre_> ikonia: thanks going to check it!
[15:32] <blitzkev> unfortunately the comments in this bug don't help very much since I don't already have a working smb.conf file from samba4-common-bin
[15:32] <flintwingel> _nedR: from a v. quick scan of the thread it looks like apt can have problems with repos that are accessed via web proxies.
[15:33] <_nedR> auronandace.. well i am on 11.10 and the first comments on the bug seem to be from 2005.. anyway see those instructions.. my question is: are they safe.. or could they do something like download some self-signed malware or something
[15:33] <bobweaver> hello there I install ubuntu 11.10 server and am alittle confused about  how to mange it publicly and ow to mange it localy could someone please help me thanks
[15:33] <adom> iceroot LjL Pici : when i open downloaded 32bit .deb file for dropbox, Software Center is saying "Sorry, 'nautilus-dropbox' is not available for this type of computer (i386)" but i KNOW this is a 32bit machine
[15:33] <ikonia> bobweaver: what are you not sure about
[15:33] <adom> yet Software Center still has an "install" button
[15:33] <flintwingel> _nedR: does this keep happening even after you're cleared down the apt cache as per the instructions in the thread
[15:34] <iceroot> adom: output of "dpkg --print-architecture"
[15:34] <_nedR> flintwingel: no
[15:34] <adom> iceroot: i386
[15:34] <_nedR> it has happened occasionally
[15:34] <iceroot> adom: ok then its 32bit
[15:34] <adom> this is an optiplex 360, we use all 32bit optiplexes for our workstations
[15:34] <iceroot> adom: output of "sudo apt-get install nautilus-dropbox"
[15:35] <bobweaver> ikonia: so I installed ubuntu server ad ticked lamp and ssh open I when into /etc/ssh/ssh_config and changed the port number and everything is great there but when I go to the ip address of the server it does not show up on a network outside of my own
[15:35] <_nedR> _nedR: thats probably because the ISP i am using now puts us behind a proxy
[15:35] <adom> iceroot: E: Unable to locate package nautilus-dropbox
[15:35] <_nedR> oops sorry for talking to myself
[15:35] <iceroot> adom: output of "cat /etc/issue" and "cat /etc/apt/sources.list"

[15:35] <vite> hi youall
[15:35] <iceroot> !paste | adom
[15:35] <flintwingel> _nedR: I wouldn't be too concerned in that case. You have to work hard to install a package from an unsigned repo
[15:35] <Pici> iceroot: He said that he downloaded the .deb file from dropbox's website.
[15:35] <bobweaver> aghhh sorry about my fat fingers
[15:35] <ikonia> bobweaver: what IP address are you using to access it ?
[15:36] <vite> what is the command to install the sound driver on ubuntu 11.10 server
[15:36] <MonkeyDust> adom  try apt-cache search dropbox
[15:36] <iceroot> Pici: and what does that have to do with "nautilus-dropbox"?
[15:36] <iceroot> adom: what are you doing exactly?
[15:36] <bobweaver> ikonia:  it is in the local 192.1.blah
[15:37] <ikonia> bobweaver: ok - so thats why you can't access it outside your network, that is a private network
[15:37] <MonkeyDust> 192.168.blah, you mean
[15:37] <Pici> iceroot: That may be the name of the package that dropbox's website has, however only oneiric and precise have that in their repos.
[15:37] <bobweaver> ikonia: do you know how to use apache2 and /etc/host to fix it add domain name keep it local
[15:38] <_nedR> flintwingel: so the workaround commands do not potentially open me to any vulnerability?
[15:38] <bobweaver> ikonia:  I want to keep local untill I figureit out
[15:38] <adom> situation: dropbox worked for a long time, then stopped working. dropbox folder still there, but "ps aux |grep dropbox" showed nothing running. i assume the dropbox daemon isnt working. trying to reinstall dropbox (whether from .deb file from their site or from repos i dont care, but i dont see dropbox or nautilus-dropbox in repos)
[15:38] <ikonia> bobweaver: you want to resolve it by name locally, etc http://bob
[15:38] <auronandace> _nedR: they don't seem to
[15:38] <ikonia> bobweaver: is that what you want ?
[15:38] <adom> running ubuntu 10.04
[15:38] <bobweaver> ikonia: yes change the local ip 192.168.blah .blah   to http:// somename
[15:38] <adom> er...10.10 i guess
[15:38] <adom> meh
[15:39] <MonkeyDust> !info dropbox
[15:39] <flintwingel> _nedR: no, they are just clearing out the corrupted information then forcing it to be refreshed
[15:39] <ikonia> bobweaver: how many clients are accessing this ? eg just your laptop or many ?
[15:39] <_nedR> ok thanks thats what i wanted to know really.. i wondered whether the commands could potentially download some new fraudulent keys
[15:39] <bobweaver> there will be about 5 people
[15:39] <_nedR> thanks
[15:39] <bobweaver> only on local
[15:39] <adom> MonkeyDust: im on maverick
[15:39] <adom> not oneiric
[15:39] <ikonia> bobweaver: the easy way is to just put the machines IP/name in their local /etc/hosts file
[15:40] <ikonia> bobweaver: that would be the most simple and fast approach
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> adom  maybe you have to download dropbox from the website
[15:40] <adom> MonkeyDust: i have. i have the .deb file.
[15:40] <bobweaver> ikonia: I read about virtualHost with apache2
[15:40] <ikonia> bobweaver: you don't need that
[15:40] <MonkeyDust> adom  and did you install it?
[15:40] <ikonia> bobweaver: just put the hostname/ip address in the host file on the clients and you will be fine
[15:41] <adom> MonkeyDust: however, when opening with Ubuntu Software Center, it says not available for this type of computer (i386). problem is, this IS an i386 computer.
[15:41] <adom> whats also weird is that even though the software center says that, there's still an Install button
[15:41] <adom> should i go ahead and click it?
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> adom  can you not open it without something other than software center?
[15:42] <MonkeyDust> /s/without/with
[15:42] <adom> MonkeyDust: give me something to try and ill do it. im not super familiar with using dpkg from the command line
[15:43] <g[r]eek> ikonia: regarding your question - "can you access the server in your browser by IP address, eg: http://<IP_ADDRESS>" - the server's name is apollo, and when I try access its IP via my browser it tries to forward to www.apollo.com
[15:43] <MonkeyDust> adom  try dpkg -i [package] <-- -i stands for install
[15:43] <_nedR> exit
[15:44] <adom> MonkeyDust: i must do that from within the folder with the .deb file right?
[15:44] <MonkeyDust> adom  yes, or include the path in the file name
[15:45] <mneptok> adom: are you running the x86-64 or i386 version of Ubuntu?
[15:45] <MonkeyDust> adom  use TAB to complete the filename
[15:46] <mneptok> adom: i386 packages will often require lots of i386 dependecies to run on x86-64
[15:47] <adom> mneptok: this is 32bit/i386
[15:47] <mneptok> g[r]eek: using the name "apollo" will not work unless you have a DNS server inside your network that knows who "apollo" is, and all the machines are using that DNS server
[15:47] <mneptok> adom: what package?
[15:48] <adom> mneptok: what do you mean what package? do you mean what distribution/version of ubuntu? meerkat 10.10
[15:48] <mneptok> adom: what package are you trying to install?
[15:48] <MonkeyDust> adom  what's the outcome of uname -i
[15:49] <adom> MonkeyDust: uname -i returns "unknown"
[15:49] <adom> but i think dropbox is working now
[15:49] <adom> its syncing correctly
[15:49] <adom> yay!
[15:49] <MonkeyDust> adom  how did you do it?
[15:50] <adom> MonkeyDust: first checked through ~/.config and ~/.local for anything dropbox, found a couple lines that said start required and restart required, deleted them, did sudo apt-get purge nautilux-dropbox, then just the dpkg -i line to install from .deb.
[15:51] <adom> in retrospect, prob shouldve done the purge first, then grep around for leftovers to delete.
[15:51] <adom> meh, worked
[15:51] <adom> LjL Pici MonkeyDust [everyone else] : thanks for the help
[15:51] <MonkeyDust> \o/ now you're the expert
[15:52] <adom> ^_^
[15:52] <g[r]eek> mneptok, ok thanks. Does that fact that we've installed dnsmasq on apollo help at all? Currently our ADSL router that connects us to the internet is where we get our nameservers from - but yes these are for public / internet websites and don't include our local server apollo
[15:53] <mneptok> g[r]eek: most consumer routers include a DNS server. tell the router to use a public DNS. setup names and static IPSs in the routing tables for hosts that need it, and tell local machines their DNS is the router.
[15:54] <mneptok> Name:aten.mneptok.com
[15:54] <mneptok> Address: <IP_ADDRESS>

[15:55] <akpk> LjL : But I wanna install it through terminal

[15:56] <Omar> Hi all.
[15:56] <Omar> I have this problem with my Broadcom 4313 [14e4:4727] Wireless chipset which I later discovered is not supported, unfortunately. But I still think there should be something I can do about it. Can someone please help me?

[16:02] <chromaticwt> is there a way to disable lightdm?
[16:03] <chromaticwt> I want to use startx to start my wm.
[16:03] <g[r]eek> mneptok, ok that makes sense. This is where it gets tricky however. Basically, we want wildcard subdomains to work on our LAN server. So if we go http://sub1.apollo/ and http://sub2.apollo/, our Apache's configuration (which is configured to handle VirtualHosts), knows to handle the subdomains. The only way we managed to get this wildcard to work (by wildcard I mean not having to configure each subdomain in our clients' /etc/hosts files),
[16:03] <g[r]eek>  was by installing dnsmasq on the LAN server. So yes, if we configure each subdomain manually in /etc/hosts, then it works no problem. But we have hundreds of these subdomains and so as you can imagine, configuring each on manually on each of our clients' /etc/hosts files is tedious. Does that make sense?
[16:04] <skilz> How do I change the login theme?
[16:05] <skilz> Think I'm using lightdm
[16:07] <Ivoz> is there any particular reason that ubuntu decides to run like **** whenever I transfer large files between hard drives?
[16:08] <MonkeyDust> Ivoz  rsync is faster than cp
[16:08] <ikonia> Ivoz: if you have to star out a word, just don't use it please
[16:09] <sskalnik> Is DKMS only for .ko and .o files, or can it be used to re-compile additional files when the ABI changes? E.g., can it be used to trigger re-compilation of a kernel module and a daemon that goes with it?
[16:09] <g[r]eek> mneptok, I've gota dash, but I'll stay here, if you would be so kinda as to send me a private message if you happen to know the answer to my previous question, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks

[16:16] <g[r]eek> mneptok, FYI - this explains our wildcard subdomain requirement and why we installed dnsmasq - http://serverfault.com/questions/118378/in-my-etc-hosts-file-on-linux-osx-how-do-i-do-a-wildcard-subdomain - but yes, my previous question still stands. Thanks
[16:18] <xsl> Hi all, there are no seahorse-plugins for oneiric ? how do I have context menu in nautilus to encrypt files with gpg ?

[16:21] <w3bg33k> I have a VM that's running Ubuntu 10.04...I want to add a CPU to it, but I'm wondering if the OS will recognize it.  Or is there something I have to do for it?

[16:22] <Tiraspol> http://about.me/simplevincheck
[16:23] <xsl> caotic: dpkg --list
[16:23] <caotic> w3bg33k: I think it will be fine, linux allways does hardware recongnition at boot
[16:24] <caotic> w3bg33k: hardware does not work when there is no drivers for it, so cpus is most likely supported :P

[16:36] <LiroXIV> Okay, question: I have a computer lab here. Two computers are hooked to a router (only one runs Ubuntu, but both use NetworkManager), but do not access the internet.
[16:36] <LiroXIV> Yet, I still want to connect them on a sort of LAN. What settings do I use?
[16:36] <MonkeyDust> LiroXIV  a router with modem?
[16:37] <LiroXIV> MonkeyDust: its not one of those.
[16:37] <stjohnmedrano> good day, i need help in my nokia bluetooth headset, ubuntu cannot detect the device, but it works fine with my android phone. thnx
[16:37] <MonkeyDust> LiroXIV  so without modem?
[16:38] <LiroXIV> I'm just helping set up a networking demo in a seperate lab here at school (yes, and I'm using Linux distros here; just to show off how good they are :D )
[16:38] <LiroXIV> yes, no modem
[16:38] <MonkeyDust> the modem is to get you online, on the internet
[16:39] <nak_> please how can i create an acoount e-mail in thunderbird ?
[16:39] <LjL> LiroXIV: if the router serves DHCP, you should not need to use any particular settings
[16:41] <MonkeyDust> nak_  http://products.secureserver.net/email/email_thunderbird.htm
[16:41] <MonkeyDust> yes, the router is for NATting, but not to get you online
[16:42] <LiroXIV> MonkeyDust: I'm not gertting them online
[16:42] <LiroXIV> I'm just trying to get them to be able to connect to eachother
[16:42] <LiroXIV> MonkeyDust: I tried setting them both to link-local, but they're both showing the same IP address
[16:42] <MonkeyDust> LiroXIV  ok, i missed that part
[16:43] <SpenserWilde> hi all.
[16:43] <sovereignentity> I now know how to make symbolic links
[16:43] <LiroXIV> MonkeyDust: should I just use static IPs?
[16:44] <sovereignentity> pat me on the back
[16:44] <LjL> LiroXIV: you should use static IPs only if the router doesn't serve DHCP
[16:44] <MonkeyDust> LiroXIV  DHCP provides IP addresses to each of the machines
[16:44] <LiroXIV> MonkeyDust: when I set them to DHCP, network manager both says they're disconnected
[16:45] <LjL> LiroXIV: then maybe the router doesn't serve DHCP. in that case, either set the router to serve DHCP, or configure statically.
[16:45] <DoctorD> Hi all. I have ubuntu 10.04 and a laptop and my wireless doesn't work. it doesnt show me the wireless when i type ifconfig in the terminal..what is the problem? can someone help me?
[16:45] <DoctorD> also, my video board doesnt seem to work properly
[16:45] <SpenserWilde> My Broadcom 4313 [14e4:4727] isn't working properly. :/ It detects the wireless network (does not detect the whole signal though, just 80% of it at best) and the connection speed seems extremely slow.
[16:45] <sovereignentity> MonkeyDust, are those DHPC addresses static
[16:45] <MonkeyDust> DoctorD  try iwconfig
[16:46] <MonkeyDust> sovereignentity  no, D in DHCP means Dynamic
[16:46] <sdousley> Hi all,. I have an 11.04 machine that I've just put Windows XP on as a second OS.  Unfortunately, due to time restrictions, I had to do Ubuntu before XP, so now am Trying to work out how to get grub working with options.
[16:46] <DoctorD> MonkeyDust: it shows me 3 things: lo, eth0 and pan0. also it say between each other: no wireless extension
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> but once a machine got an IP address, it won't change
[16:47] <sdousley> I have grub working, so it now boots ubuntu, but not sure how to get it to add the Windows option
[16:47] <MonkeyDust> DoctorD  which OS's?
[16:47] <DoctorD> just ubuntu 10.04 , now upgrading to 10.10
[16:48] <theadmin> sdousley: It would normally autodetect it. Can you run "sudo update-grub"?
[16:48] <DoctorD> it is possible to work on 10.10 ?
[16:49] <MonkeyDust> DoctorD  sorry, i was addressing somebody else
[16:49] <theadmin> DoctorD: Define that... It's possible to work on any OS, even DOS.
[16:49] <sdousley> theadmin: ah, so it does :) that's cool.  And if I wanted to change the timeout? Would that be in /boot/grub/grub.cfg somewhere?
[16:50] <DoctorD> theadmin: what do you mean?
[16:50] <theadmin> sdousley: Yeah, but because this is Ubuntu with it's carefullness, you shouldn't edit the file directly, instead see /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/
[16:50] <Technicus> Hello, I have a pdf form that I was able to import with Libreoffice, however there are lines on the form that did not render after import.  Is there a way that I can tweek the import feature so that it picks up all the features of the pdf?
[16:50] <theadmin> DoctorD: You asked whether it's possible to "work" on 10.10
[16:50] <DoctorD> yes..because on 10.04 it doesnt work
[16:50] <DoctorD> maybe its not support
[16:50] <DoctorD> idk
[16:50] <sdousley> theadmin: ah, yeh, I meant /etc/default/grub actually from what I was readin :)
[16:50] <theadmin> Technicus: Yeah, get the sourcecode and edit it manually. Otherwise - no.
[16:50] <DoctorD> i have a samsung np300 laptop
[16:51] <LiroXIV> LjL: It's an old router. Anyway, my Sabayon computer DOES correctly configure DHCP. However, my Ubuntu Natty one is not
[16:51] <Wargasm> I'm running ubuntu 11.10 with a lxde DE.  The battery monitor in lxde is stuck at 100% but the gnome power manager is working accurately.  Anyone know how I can fix the lxde battery monitor so it can work properly?
[16:51] <theadmin> Oh, Sabayon still exists? lol
[16:51] <sdousley> that's looks like what I need thanks theadmin
[16:53] <DoctorD> so..
[16:53] <LiroXIV> if it matters, the sabayon computer has a newer version of NetworkManager (the one from Gnome 3)
[16:53] <DoctorD> what i'll do ?
[16:53] <DoctorD> i'll be back with updates
[16:53] <DoctorD> after i upgrade to 10.10
[16:53] <Wargasm> I'm running a separate battery monitor so I can monitor my battery level lol
[16:53] <DoctorD> maybe it will work :(
[16:54] <theadmin> Wargasm: Why not just disable the LXDE one and run batti or whatever it is you're running only?

[16:57] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: 1) is dbus running? 2) If it is, try removing ~/.mozilla and trying again. 3) If that doesn't help, switch to Chrome.
[16:57] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: lol, the last part is a joke, no offense meant
[16:57] <scottj_> does this new itunes legit music thing where they give you legit versions of non-legit songs, does it look at the audio of the song or just the id3 tag? Anyone know if you can create a ton of empty mp3 files with the right id3 tags for songs you want?

[16:58] <martian_> scottj_: that's pretty far off topic.
[16:58] <caution> shift+ctrl+c does it, but I can't work out how to select the text without the mouse
[16:59] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: Fair enough. Okay, try removing the profile folder then
[16:59] <scottj_> martian_: agreed :)
[17:00] <theadmin> caution: You can't really do that.
[17:00] <martian_> scottj_: ...but clever; you should try it...but #ubuntu is the wrong place :)
[17:00] <torta> someone could help me?

[17:00] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: rm... You want "rm -r ~/.mozilla"
[17:00] <theadmin> sovereignentity: Windows isn't based on Unix :/
[17:00] <LjL> sovereignentity: ... what
[17:00] <theadmin> sovereignentity: Also, Microsoft will do *everything* to make Windows INcompatible with Linux
[17:00] <MonkeyDust> torta  easiest, fastest and safest way is to backup important files and do a fresh install
[17:00] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: thanks, what does -r do?
[17:01] <sovereignentity> but windows can see a mac drive
[17:01] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: Allows removing folders (default is to only remove files)
[17:01] <Wargasm> theadmin: lol, well said
[17:01] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: Type "man COMMAND" to see detailed help on COMMAND. For instance, "man rm"
[17:01] <theadmin> Wargasm: ?
[17:01] <LjL> sovereignentity: uh no it can't, not when it's HFS formatted. anyway, Windows, Mac OS and Linux all use different filesystems.
[17:01] <murfie> don't confuse it with "rm man" of course
[17:01] <Wargasm> the admin: Also, Microsoft will do *everything* to make Windows INcompatible with Linux
[17:02] <theadmin> murfie: That won't do much
[17:02] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: thanks, you type fast :S now do i sudo apt-get install firefox?
[17:02] <theadmin> murfie: That is, unless a file called "man" exists.
[17:02] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: No, just start Firefox
[17:02] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: That was a user-settings folder

[17:03] <luket> :S
[17:03] <theadmin> luket: Never mind me, I'm crazy
[17:03] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: no luck, all that happens is firefox-bin process starts and then goes away again after 5 seconds
[17:03] <luket> nice
[17:03] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: Hmm... Is the system up-to-date?
[17:03] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: If it isn't, "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". Should fix potential bugs.
[17:04] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: its been been upgraded
[17:04] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: wait i'll do dist-upgrade
[17:04] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: That's mostly same as "upgrade" except it does a smarter dependency resolution, won't do much if you're up-to-date
[17:04] <MonkeyDust> torta  stop pm'ing me
[17:05] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: /ignore torta PRIVMSG
[17:05] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: im all up to date
[17:05] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: There just are some people like that ;)
[17:05] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: Okay, I'm out of ideas. Can you try the official Firefox build from their PPA?
[17:05] <MonkeyDust> tnx theadmin <3
[17:05] <KRizAn00n> theadmin: what sorry?
[17:06] <theadmin> KRizAn00n: Ubuntu uses a modified Firefox version... You can install the official build (if you don't mind) to see if that will work
[17:06] <theadmin> MonkeyDust: np
[17:07] <KRizAn00n> the admin: what's the command?

[17:29] <downbeam> my lubuntu wont let me activate a driver.
[17:29] <downbeam> ?
[17:30] <kvgeorge1> My issue specifically is that the volume control on the keyboard only controls the system sound volume, not the volume for things like youtube and flash players in FF and Chrome
[17:31] <xangua> nak_: see your webmail isntructions
[17:31] <kvgeorge1> and this is only seen when using KDE plasma, not Gnome or Unity
[17:31] <theadmin> kvgeorge1: Open kmix, set default channel to "Master" or "Speaker" (or "PCM" when using a laptop) Problem solved.
[17:32] <kvgeorge1> thought of that, but KMIX will not launch
[17:32] <nak_> please how can i create an acoount e-mail in thunderbird with pop3 ??
[17:32] <kvgeorge1> do I need to launch kmix as root?
[17:33] <theadmin> kvgeorge1: No, you generally don't run anything graphical as root
[17:33] <theadmin> nak_: Ask your e-mail provider. Not us.

[17:38] <Nfisher> HI all! ive a little problem: a friend of mine wants me to connect to his ubuntu box via ssh... he sits behind a router and has no access to it in order to forward ports.. i sit behind a router and have the access to forward ports.. how can i establish a ssh-connection into his amchine?!
[17:39] <llutz> Nfisher: http://www.howtoforge.com/reverse-ssh-tunneling
[17:41] <israel> Nfisher: install ssh in the pc, and theres not problem with port 22 to pass trought
[17:41] <theadmin> Nfisher: You can't. Not unless he configures port forwarding.
[17:41] <LjL> or unless they use a VPN
[17:42] <NeverHere> theadmin, for ssh from command correct command is ssh <host> -l <users> right?
[17:42] <llutz> Nfisher: HE creates the reverse tunnel, YOU connect through it
[17:42] <NeverHere> <.<
[17:42] <Nfisher> so, is it possible or not?
[17:42] <llutz> Nfisher: http://www.howtoforge.com/reverse-ssh-tunneling
[17:42] <theadmin> NeverHere: ssh user@host
[17:42] <llutz> Nfisher: read this follow this, done
[17:43] <NeverHere> ah ok
[17:43] <Nfisher> llutz, yes but "theadmin" says its not possible.. and it didnt work
[17:43] <llutz> Nfisher: it works
[17:43] <Nfisher> "Connection timed out"
[17:43] <LjL> Nfisher: it's not possible for you to connect to his machine, it'll have to be his machine connecting to yours, but aside from that technical detail, it's possible for you to access his machine through a reverse SSH tunnel (see link) or by using VPN
[17:43] <downbeam> i need to talk to some one smart
[17:43] <Nfisher> LjL, oh ok
[17:43] <Nfisher> i see
[17:44] <theadmin> downbeam: You're not giving any details at all, what help do you expect?
[17:44] <llutz> Nfisher: why do you think i post the link for you? just for fun?
[17:44] <downbeam> Sorry, installation of this driver failed.
[17:44] <downbeam> Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log
[17:44] <bazhang> !ati | downbeam
[17:44] <downbeam> Sorry, installation of this driver failed.
[17:44] <downbeam> Please have a look at the log file for details: /var/log/jockey.log
[17:45] <Nfisher> llutz, u crazy? i followed it, but it didnt work... i told u
[17:45] <LjL> downbeam: did you have a look at the log file for details?
[17:45] <Nfisher> llutz, and it still doesnt
[17:45] <llutz> Nfisher: then you/he made it wrong, reverse tunneling works
[17:45] <pangolin> Nfisher: if that is too much you can use teamviewer which handles all the forwarding for you, it will need to be installed on both machines.
[17:45] <Nfisher> llutz, thats possible :)
[17:45] <downbeam> LjL how do i look at log files?
[17:45] <Nfisher> pangolin, thx
[17:45] <LjL> downbeam: type "cat /var/log/jockey.log" in a terminal
[17:45] <llutz> Nfisher: HE creates the reverse tunnel to YOUR machine which needs sshd running and being accessible from WAN, then YOU connect through it
[17:46] <Nfisher> llutz, ok
[17:46] <tudor32> how can i delete read only files from an external card..i keep receiving this error when deletin.. i use ubuntu 11.10

[18:04] <eRespond> please give me some ide
[18:04] <eRespond> ??
[18:04] <iElectric> LjL: by lying im usig lucid?
[18:04] <iElectric> using*
[18:05] <LjL> iElectric: oh yeah, it's just for lucid :( well it might work, or it might break things, no guarantees.
[18:05] <tudor32> no help in here..
[18:05] <iElectric> it won't work.
[18:05] <Pici> iElectric: Again, is there a reason you can't use the current version of python?
[18:05] <blizzow> dammnit, grrrr, xorg starts only about 50% of the time.  I see a failsafe-x process running and it doesn't want to stop or start via an upstart command.   The program netselect can be used to determine the site with the least latency; use a download program such as wget or rsync for determining the site with the most throughput. Note that geographic proximity often isn't the most important factor for determining which machine will serve you best.
[18:07] <Josse> Guys, if i get segfault erros quite often, does that mean that my memory is damaged???
[18:07] <LjL> Josse: it could be, but it could be other things too. use memtest86+ to check your memory, it's available from the boot menu
[18:08] <eRespond> Pici, : am need install netselect on my ubuntu http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/README.mirrors.html
[18:08] <blizzow> also none of my vtys come to life.  I can't even alt+f1 to another vty to diagnose.
[18:08] <blizzow> I have to ssh into the machine to do anything.
[18:08] <Josse> LjL, I did it and I get quite a lot of errors, so guess i should start looking for new sodim, right?
[18:08] <Pici> eRespond: There is no netselect package for Ubuntu, its only a debian tool.
[18:09] <LjL> Josse: yes.
[18:09] <eRespond> ubuntu form debian ?
[18:09] <MonkeyDust> !netselect| eRespond
[18:09] <eRespond> but why i can't install debian package... and any alternative package for me
[18:09] <LjL> Josse: or if you don't want to, you *could* possibly use the badmem feature of the kernel to work around the broken part... but if you can just get a new stick, by all means do
[18:09] <eRespond> !netselect
[18:10] <Pici> eRespond: You should not use packages desinged for Debian on Ubuntu.
[18:10] <Josse> LjL, It used to be my mothers comp. When she had windows it worked fine (for win standards, of course) Could it be some sort of incompatibility.
[18:10] <Josse> Ok, so definately it's memory.
[18:10] <Josse> LjL, Can you please tell me how i can activate this feature?
