My ubuntu going crazy! i cannot open andy folder, cause file manager starts,and when open ubuntu a lot of file manager opened!
[00:01] <netbeast> ok
[00:01] <Chaos2358> yep new disc
[00:01] <KM0201> hmm
[00:01] <ActionParsnip> radi: no, its the subject of the channel. Natty is supported in #ubuntu+1
[00:01] <Chaos2358> wow. everything has to fudge up for me today
[00:02] <KM0201> Chaos2358: thats strange, i've never had a prob w/ gnomebaker
[00:02] <Azerox> is there a way to sync a FTP folder + one of my local folder automagically?
[00:02] <Chaos2358> its the window that says baking
[00:02] <ActionParsnip> Azerox: rsync may work
[00:02] <Azerox> ActionParsnip, it's for SSH
[00:02] <Chaos2358> it says its burning the cd but its not spinnning the drive
[00:02] <alpha> I have a folder with a lot of wav files. How do I convert all of them to mp3? (doing by hand is no option)
[00:02] <KM0201> Chaos2358: is the progress bar moving?
[00:03] <aertyu> i simply made a copy from one machine to an other machine if i do ls -l on the first i got total 8512   and the second if i do ls -l i got  total 8360  is that normal ?
[00:03] <ubas> some one for a little help??? My ubuntu going crazy! i cannot open andy folder, cause file manager starts,and when open ubuntu a lot of file manager opened!
[00:03] <Chaos2358> KM0201,  nope it started at 3/4 done and said 3 minutes remaining
[00:03] <ActionParsnip> Azerox: you can use sshfs mounted and rsync that
[00:03] <KM0201> hmm.
[00:03] <KM0201> wonder if something is wrong w/ your drive Chaos2358
[00:04] <netbeast> says its supported
[00:04] <Chaos2358> its just my luck today man
[00:04] <itaylor57> aertyu: that can be normal depending on the block size of the different macines
[00:04] <KM0201> Chaos2358: happens to us all
[00:04] <aertyu> block size ?
[00:04] <Chaos2358> KM0201, ive fubard everything ive touched today
[00:04] <aertyu> means
[00:05] <redparchel> My ubuntu box 1) rebooted itself 2) came back up with no network interfaces. ifconfig shows nothing but lspci shows it [and the two pci ones i put in after to test] but nothing in ifconfig .. any thoughts? thanks
[00:05] <Chaos2358> KM0201,  HEY!!! it just started moving.
[00:05] <KM0201> Chaos2358: lol, good
[00:06] <Chaos2358> KM0201, with it being iso it shouldnt have had to encode would it?
[00:06] <itaylor57> aertyu: what kind of host to what kinda of host?
[00:07] <aertyu> during transfer from remote host to localhost itaylor57
[00:08] <s3a> Could someone tell me why chrooting and doing update-grub only seems to detect Windows?: http://pastebin.com/zHVtCx3R                       I cannot boot my Linux OS
[00:09] <s3a> (using lvm2)
[00:10] <Kruppt> alpha: for a gui method, install soundkonverter ...you can drag and drop the folder/files and be done with it.
[00:10] <Chaos2358> KM0201, progress bar went all the way across then the window closed, now its spinning and burning the disc
[00:10] <KM0201> Chaos2358: hmm, seems a bit unusual.
[00:11] <Mary-Jane> Hello... I have a bad problem... I have no virus software that can scan all programs and find malware, only fixes registry... and I have a trojan
[00:11] <itaylor57> aertyu: I am probably the wrong person to answer this, more knowledgeable in solaris, but yes getting different resultant sizes across hosts is normal
[00:11] <Mary-Jane> using up 100% of my memory
[00:11] <KM0201> but hopefully it works ok... i don't pay much attention while its burning, so that may be normal Chaos2358
[00:11] <alpha> Kruppt, I am actually doing it right now but with 3000+ files it seems to hang up. Or maybe it is still "working". Dont know
[00:11] <luxurymode> whats the shortcut key to launch Gedit?
[00:11] <Chaos2358> KM0201,  yea thats cool
[00:11] <Mary-Jane> How can I diagnose this? On htop I get like 12% memory usage overall(on files clickable) and it shows 100% at top
[00:12] <aertyu> ok thanks a lot itaylor57
[00:12] <aertyu> bye
[00:12] <KM0201> luxurymode: i'm not sure there is one
[00:12] <ubas> hey some one can answer to my quest plox?hi to all some one for a little help??? My ubuntu going crazy! i cannot open andy folder, cause file manager starts,and when open ubuntu a lot of file manager opened!
[00:12] <ezrafree> is there any way to see what the most recent package i installed was?
[00:13] <luxurymode> KM0201: any way to just open the default text editor?
[00:13] <Mary-Jane> Hello... Can anyone point me towards a virus software that's free and downloadable?
[00:13] <KM0201> luxurymode: application/accessories/text editor?
[00:13] <Mary-Jane> and that I can scan for viruses on my own with
[00:13] <ezrafree> Mary-Jane: viruses? on linux? huh?
[00:13] <Mary-Jane> I have a very very bad trojan that will not allow my graphics to work and I need a fix very fast.
[00:13] <Kruppt> alpha: that many will certainly take a while to encode, could be hangin on a bad file?
[00:14] <jrib> Mary-Jane: on ubuntu?
[00:14] <Mary-Jane> all I know is when I'm trying to watch a youtube video it says usable ram can't find 17 bytes
[00:14] <ejv> Mary-Jane: that sounds like an "error" not a "virus"
[00:14] <Mary-Jane> and on htop it shows my ram capped and the files I can see only use up 20% max
[00:14] <KM0201> luxurymode: you can probably had one easily enough if you want to.
[00:14] <Mary-Jane> I can guarentee you it's a trojan because I watched me get it yesterday
[00:15] <Mary-Jane> I was browsing 4chan and clicked a link that people later explained as a trojan and ever since my ram's been capped
[00:15] <ezrafree> ahh i found it, the command i ran that messed my whole system up was: sudo aptitude install libnotify-bin
[00:15] <aeon-ltd> Mary-Jane: print screen htop for us
[00:15] <ejv> Mary-Jane: are you familiar with NoScript, Adblock, and FlashBlock scripts for Mozilla Firefox? I suggest you install all three.
[00:15] <KM0201> ezrafree: i thought you said you removed it?
[00:16] <jrib> Mary-Jane: you're making very little sense.  You need to take a few minutes and collect your thoughts.  Then summarize exactly what your issue is on exactly ONE line.  If you have logs or errors that you want to share include them in a pastebin
[00:16] <Mary-Jane> well that doesn't really help me now that I can't watch videos...
[00:16] <ezrafree> KM0201: i did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade first
[00:16] <Mary-Jane> how do I diagnose a virus on Ubuntu?
[00:16] <KM0201> Mary-Jane: easiest way, download avast from avast.com (register it), then scan your windows partition w/ it...
[00:16] <ezrafree> KM0201: now i've removed it but it didn't offer to put everything back :(
[00:16] <ejv> KM0201: who said she's using windows... lol
[00:16] <KM0201> ezrafree: thats pretty normal
[00:17] <ejv> Mary-Jane: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus
[00:17] <KM0201> ejv: that was the impression i got.
[00:17] <ezrafree> KM0201: yeah, true... just sucks, i guess
[00:17] <Mary-Jane> I don't use windows tbh... I am using GNOME with Wine compatibility
[00:17] <ejv> start reading
[00:18] <Two9A> And we never did see that screenshot of htop
[00:18] <KM0201> Mary-Jane: whatever your issue is, it's unlikely a virus that was caused by you clicking a link9(under ubuntu)
[00:18] <Mary-Jane> hey if anyone wants a screen shot of my htop
[00:18] <Mary-Jane> send me a page
[00:18] <Mary-Jane> if you can help
[00:18] <ejv> we're on the edge of our seats waiting for one mary :)
[00:18] <aeon-ltd> Mary-Jane: post a screenshot here
[00:18] <Gnea> Mary-Jane: it doesn't work that way, you just post the screenshot and if someone can help, they will
[00:18] <ezrafree> wtf is an htop?

[00:19] <Two9A> Yeah, a screenshot.
[00:19] <ezrafree> that's a heck of a screenshot
[00:19] <Gnea> !screenshot | Mary-Jane
[00:19] <Mary-Jane> !!!
[00:19] <Matrice64> lol
[00:19] <ejv> very obnoxious, thanks
[00:19] <slide> Anyone know where I could find a case with lots of hard drive bays? I need at least 12
[00:19] <ejv> is there an !etiquette command for the newbies?
[00:19] <jrib> !ot | slide
[00:20] <jrib> ejv: !guidelines
[00:20] <ejv> !guidelines
[00:20]  * Two9A is still waiting on ideas about his Nova-T DVB card
[00:20] <ejv> nah jrib, something more 'targeted'
[00:21] <Mary-Jane> Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 17 bytes)
[00:21] <Gnea> !guidelines > ejv
[00:21] <ejv> yes i got it
[00:21] <ejv> thanks
[00:21] <Gnea> ejv: it doesn't get anymore targetted than that.
[00:21] <ejv> lol
[00:21] <Two9A> Mary-Jane: That's er, a PHP error
[00:21] <Two9A> Mary-Jane: Try turning up the amount of memory PHP uses?
[00:21] <Mary-Jane> How do I do that?
[00:22] <jrib> Mary-Jane: where are you getting this error exactly?
[00:22] <ejv> ask your host to increase the memory limit in php.ini
[00:22] <Mary-Jane> that's on my browser when I try watching a video
[00:22] <jrib> Mary-Jane: what video? where?
[00:22] <itaylor57> Mary-Jane is getting this via wine if I remember right
[00:23] <ejv> why name would someone watch video through wine... sounds excruciating
[00:23] <laurodi> hi
[00:23] <ejv> s/name//
[00:23] <laurodi> anyones got Wikileaks irc?
[00:23] <Gnea> ejv: we don't really worry about that
[00:23] <Gnea> laurodi: #wikileaks, obviously
[00:23] <ejv> did you try #wikileaks
[00:24] <laurodi> off..;/
[00:24] <Mary-Jane> okay
[00:24] <Mary-Jane> I just got a call...
[00:24] <Mary-Jane> jrib it happens with every video I try
[00:24] <Mary-Jane> and yes the graphics on wine ARE excrutiating
[00:24] <ejv> Mary-Jane: you should probably try #wine then
[00:24] <ezrafree> does apt-get have a log file where i can see which packages it removed earlier?
[00:24] <jrib> Mary-Jane: you aren't answering my question
[00:24] <Mary-Jane> I tried terminaling php.ini and I didn't get anything
[00:24] <ezrafree> so i can try putting them all back
[00:25] <Mary-Jane> jrib my interenst crashed
[00:25] <Mary-Jane> I can only see very little lines I missed
[00:25] <ejv> hmm #wine doesn't exist, wonder where they hang out...
[00:25] <Mary-Jane> what video???
[00:25] <Mary-Jane> let me find one without porn on it
[00:25] <jrib> Mary-Jane: if what others say is correct and this is a php error, then it's a server-side issue...
[00:25] <laurodi> wiki doenst response...;//
[00:25] <shcherbak> ejv: #winehq ?
[00:25] <ejv> shcherbak: cool beans
[00:25] <Mary-Jane> well I don't even have a php.ini file....
[00:25] <Mary-Jane> And I'm currently for the better part up to date
[00:26] <Mary-Jane> with 10.04
[00:26] <jrib> Mary-Jane: of course not, you aren't the server
[00:26] <Mary-Jane> or w/e
[00:26] <laurodi> guys?..
[00:26] <Mary-Jane> Then how do I have it increase memory?
[00:26] <Mary-Jane> (I only have 512 mb as is)
[00:26] <jrib> Mary-Jane: you need to answer my question before we can help you.
[00:26] <laurodi> needed indeed wiki irc A?
[00:27] <ejv> are you sure you're not trolling us...
[00:27] <ejv> be honest :)
[00:27] <ezrafree> laurodi: off topic, but, wikipedia.org is responding for me just fine
[00:27] <Mary-Jane> jrib... what question?
[00:27] <Mary-Jane> You really want me to post a link to a porn site in here??? really????
[00:27] <Mary-Jane> *Sighs*
[00:27] <laurodi> no im not... wikeleaks.. irc ;)
[00:27] <KM0201> Mary-Jane: PM it to me
[00:27] <ezrafree> yep, Mary-Jane is a troll
[00:27] <jrib> Mary-Jane: you said all videos.  Surely that includes one that's not porn.
[00:27] <Kruppt> ezrafree: /var/log/apt/term.log
[00:27] <Mary-Jane> Hah
[00:27] <ezrafree> laurodi: sounds off topic to me
[00:27] <laurodi> need some info thats all
[00:28] <Mary-Jane> If only you knew my lifestyle.
[00:28] <ezrafree> thanks Kruppt
[00:28] <laurodi> ezrafree: i  know srry..
[00:28] <KM0201> Mary-Jane: i work in a max security prison, nothing you show me is probably not something i've not saw a gazillion times
[00:28] <otak> 512MB for gnome, wine and firefox?!
[00:29] <KM0201> Mary-Jane: thats an error, not a link
[00:29] <Mary-Jane> That's the error I get at the link
[00:29] <KM0201> Mary-Jane: gimme the link
[00:29] <Two9A> otak: The 512
[00:29] <Two9A> Has nothing to do with gnome, wine or firefox
[00:29] <ezrafree> is it normal to have both aptitude and apt-get installed?
[00:29] <Mary-Jane> it's not a corrupt link...
[00:29] <KM0201> Mary-Jane: so what is your issue, you're just dying to see it or what
[00:30] <Mary-Jane> Yes.
[00:30] <Mary-Jane> Well...  I can't live without porn... you know.
[00:31] <jrib> Mary-Jane: stop.  If you can't provide a sfw example, then we can't help you.
[00:31] <Two9A> Just a feeling!
[00:31] <ezrafree> definitely a troll
[00:31] <humph> hey, I'm trying to fix an issue with nvidia drivers not remembering my desired resolution for the monitor.  Any advice?
[00:31] <ejv> Two9A: so do i lol, called it ten minutes ago
[00:31] <laurodi> writn some info that why i need it..
[00:31] <KM0201> Mary-Jane: when i remove the actual video link, and go tot he homepage, and click a video, none of the videos work
[00:31] <Two9A> ejv: I only just got back from poking my TV card with a stick some more
[00:31] <humph> I can set it, try to write to xorg.conf, and on reboot it's back to 640x480
[00:31] <shcherbak> Mary-Jane: kill fash or anything which looks as such! (and stop it, not that funny)
[00:32] <Mary-Jane> Okay so if they don't work for you
[00:32] <Mary-Jane> they don't work altogether....
[00:32] <shcherbak> *flash*
[00:32] <Mary-Jane> They worked on my old operating system :(
[00:32] <KM0201> Mary-Jane: correct, it doesn't mean you have a virus
[00:32] <iflema> humph try... hold ALT and press F2 then type gksu nvidia-settings
[00:32] <Mary-Jane> that was my best site too..
[00:32] <humph> iflema: k sec
[00:32] <Mary-Jane> But then how do I lower my ram usage?
[00:32] <Mary-Jane> on  Htop it shows me capping ram nearly 24/7 other tiems maybe 95% use
[00:32] <Kruppt> ezrafree: i have both installed and use apt-get only, have used aptitude a few times in certain binds,..but from what I understand you are to use one or the other exclusively
[00:33] <KM0201> Mary-Jane: there's a million sites, for virtually any fettish, if thats the best you can find... you probably need to work on yoru google-foo
[00:33] <Mary-Jane> I do!
[00:33] <Mary-Jane> They were sooo young though...
[00:33] <Mary-Jane> and so fair skinned
[00:33] <Mary-Jane> :(
[00:33] <jrib> Mary-Jane: this channel is only for ubuntu support.  Move on.
[00:33] <ezrafree> Kruppt: maybe that's what messed me up so badly, the command i ran (recommended from a website to fix my problem with thunderbird) was an aptitude command
[00:34] <shcherbak> Mary-Jane: htop (install) and sort by memory useage then F9 to kill, try also metacity --replace
[00:34] <ezrafree> Mary-Jane: go troll somewhere else
[00:34] <humph> iflema: k, yeah been in there a bunch.  that's where I'm setting it
[00:34] <Mary-Jane> Hey... I /b/trollin. Not it/r/crollin
[00:35] <iflema> the gksudo should make the settings save...
[00:35] <iflema> humph the gksudo should make the settings save...
[00:35] <humph> alright, I'll reboot and see if it took
[00:35] <humph> brb
[00:37] <Kruppt> ezrafree: yeah, you generally have to stick with one or the other otherwise things get hosed
[00:37] <ezrafree> Kruppt: *sigh* is there any way to fix this?
[00:39] <ezrafree> would it be best if i uninstalled aptitude?
[00:39] <Nicolas_Leonidas> how do you search for a file in the current directory and subdirectories under it?
[00:39] <humph> iflema: no difference -- it works there, seems to see all my proper settings, then on reboot, back to 640x480
[00:39] <Mary-Jane> Hi so if my computer has integrated speakers in the monitor... how do I get my computer to recognize them and use it for audio?
[00:39] <KM0201> Nicolas_Leonidas: ls
[00:40] <shcherbak> Nicolas_Leonidas: ls -R | grep filename
[00:40] <jrib> Nicolas_Leonidas: use "find"
[00:40] <KM0201> Mary-Jane: your monitor cable will have an audio jack.. plug it into the the speaker port
[00:40] <tchebb> Nicolas_Leonidas: You can use find
[00:40] <Kruppt> ezrafree: I have not used aptitude in sometime, so I would have to read up on the matter myself
[00:41] <iflema> humph when you gksudo the change settings, make sure not to *merge* but overwrite previous settings.... and click apply...
[00:41] <humph> Nicolas_Leonidas: find . -name 'foo*'
[00:41] <humph> iflema: yeah, did that
[00:41] <Nicolas_Leonidas> I like the command locate
[00:41] <humph> Nicolas_Leonidas: locate is looking in a db, though, careful
[00:41] <jrib> Nicolas_Leonidas: but that doesn't do what you asked
[00:42] <Nicolas_Leonidas> is there a way to make locate search for the file in current directory?
[00:42] <humph> iflema: it's as though it is ignoring what the driver is writing out to xorg.conf
[00:42] <shcherbak> Nicolas_Leonidas: sorry, (apart of find) i made mistake, should be ls -lR | grep filename
[00:44] <humph> iflema: any other thoughts?  I'm not sure what to try next.  the xorg.conf looks like this: http://pastebin.mozilla.org/890676
[00:45] <shcherbak> Nicolas_Leonidas: Using wildcats with locate --> /home/mine/*/filename
[00:46] <rww> wildcards ;P
[00:46] <humph> any other xorg.conf folks around?
[00:46] <shcherbak> rww: uhm, yes

[00:59] <FloridaGuy> shcherbak, everything seems good.... all but panel in kde...cant get icons to work
[00:59] <van7hu> hi,what about xen in ubuntu,
[00:59] <van7hu> ubuntu seems not support xen !
[01:00] <SubstreamAI> I'm trying to install Ubuntu from a CD.  Its on the screen you specify your name, account, PW, and login options... it seems to be stuck...
[01:00] <rww> SubstreamAI: make the username all lower case
[01:00] <mikel> van7hu: xen can be made to work, but you really ought to use kvm instead if you're able. It's much better supported
[01:00] <SubstreamAI> thanks... brb
[01:01] <SubstreamAI> no go
[01:01] <Guest73344> Does anyone know how I could go about finding what's wrong with Google Earth?  I'm a really new user, and I've tried reinstalling it, with no avail.
[01:01] <SubstreamAI> It gave me Checks next to each box like it was happy
[01:01] <van7hu> mikel: I will try with OpenSUSE :) !
[01:01] <Nicolas_Leonidas> how did KM0201 make his text italic? is there an irc command?
[01:01] <tchebb> Guest73344: What's the problem with it?
[01:01] <shcherbak> FloridaGuy: on this stage is rather normal. Have you read release notes?
[01:01] <KM0201> Guest73344: well... open a terminal and type  googleearth   and when it crashes, read the output
[01:01] <iszak> How can I get nginx/mysql/php5-fpm services to auto-start?
[01:01] <KM0201> Nicolas_Leonidas: because i'm awesome.. :)
[01:02] <Guest73344> command not found
[01:02] <FloridaGuy> shcherbak, not yet
[01:02] <Nicolas_Leonidas> KM0201: how can I be awesome like that?
[01:02] <Guest73344> for googleearth
[01:02] <Nicolas_Leonidas> ~hi
[01:02] <KM0201> Nicolas_Leonidas: it's probably something in your settings... what client are you using?
[01:02] <Guest73344> And the problem is that it just doesn't open at all, tchebb
[01:02] <Nicolas_Leonidas> KM0201: chatzilla
[01:02] <KM0201> Nicolas_Leonidas: i have no idea w/ chatzilla....
[01:02] <rww> Nicolas_Leonidas: Is this message italicized?
[01:02] <padster> HELLO GENTLEMEN
[01:02] <mikel> Any slapd experts in the house?
[01:02] <mikel>  I'm trying to set up an OpenLDAP tree on my Ubuntu 10.04 server, following the instructions given at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html. I've added the cosine, nis and inetorgperson schemas, and built a backend ldif file as specified in the helpfile, and when i invoked ldapadd on the backend file, it seemed to work fine. But then when I attempt to add the frontend file as the next step, I'm pr
[01:02] <KM0201> Nicolas_Leonidas: fwiw though, mine doesn't come up in italics.. so its obviously a setting in chatzilla
[01:02] <Nicolas_Leonidas> rww: nope
[01:02] <SubstreamAI> rww: Down at the progress bar it said "Ready when you are..." but there was nothing more to fill in.  It was happy with all my enteries.
[01:03] <mikel> ompted for an LDAP password, and using the one I specified in the backend file doesn't seem to work; I get "ldap_bind: Confidentiality required (13)"
[01:03] <SubstreamAI> rww: I hit back to see if I missed something on another screen... everythign looked good
[01:03] <Nicolas_Leonidas> KM0201: when you said prefers audacious for listening to music..
[01:03] <tchebb> Guest73344: You installed from the official Google deb file?
[01:03] <Nicolas_Leonidas> it was shown italic
[01:03] <KM0201> Guest73344: ok... what version of google earth, and how did you install it
[01:03] <rww> SubstreamAI: What's the username you gave it?
[01:03] <Nicolas_Leonidas> KM0201: what's the feature called in your app?
[01:03]  * Jordan_U thinks that Nicolas_Leonidas is referring to how KM0201 used /me.
[01:03]  * Nicolas_Leonidas thinks Jordan_U is right
[01:03] <KM0201> Nicolas_Leonidas: i have o idea, it's not a feature i enabled, it's clearly on your end
[01:04] <soroush> hi, how can I make untrusted packages to be installable. Now I get an error saying requested untrusted package
[01:04] <SubstreamAI> rww: I made sure the network was enabled, and now its stuck saying "Getting the time from a network server"
[01:04]  * shcherbak wonders
[01:04] <brianBTB> Is it possible to call terminal commands from Python? for example, get a string, send it to terminal, print output?
[01:04] <soroush> when I try to install some packages
[01:04]  * Nicolas_Leonidas hates explaining the unexplainables
[01:04] <Guest73344> I installed the Google-Earth-Stable_Current_i386.deb is the name of the file, and I did download it from the google website.
[01:04]  * KM0201 rarely thinks Jordan_U is wrong
[01:04] <KM0201> :)
[01:04] <SubstreamAI> rww, and its just sitting there, way longer than it should if it would time out eventually
[01:04] <tchebb> soroush: You need to add the public key for the repository.
[01:04] <SubstreamAI> rww, says "Your Name" and I put charles
[01:04] <soroush> I can install untrusted packages through terminal but not GUI
[01:04] <tchebb> soroush: What repository are you trying to download from?
[01:04] <soroush> tchebb: how can I do it_
[01:04] <KM0201> Guest73344: ok... and when you type googleearth and hit enter, it says command not found?
[01:05]  * Nicolas_Leonidas hates applications that have a different theme
[01:05] <mikel> brianBTB: http://bytes.com/topic/python/answers/457798-how-run-shell-commands-within-python does this help?
[01:05]  * Nicolas_Leonidas like Amarok
[01:05] <SubstreamAI> rww: for "Your computer's name" I have athlon-2000
[01:05] <padster> Nicolas_Leonidas: so do i ^^ about the themes
[01:05] <Jordan_U> Nicolas_Leonidas: Please move non support related comments to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[01:05] <SubstreamAI> rww: but even if I change it to just athlon, the Forward button remains disabled
[01:05] <soroush> tchebb: I donno
[01:05] <Guest73344> Yes. Command not found.
[01:05] <KM0201> Guest73344: hold on, lemme download it and try installing it
[01:05] <soroush> tchebb: I have some repositories enabled
[01:05] <Guest73344> googleearth: command not found
[01:06] <Guest73344> Thanks :)
[01:06] <tchebb> soroush: What package are you trying to install?
[01:06] <rww> SubstreamAI: I asked about the username field, not the "Your name" field.
[01:06] <KM0201> Guest73344: this is google earth 6... right?  32 or 64bit?
[01:06] <SubstreamAI> rww: the last thing the terminal window shows is "switched to page usersetup"
[01:06] <Guest73344> 32 bit
[01:06] <soroush> tchebb: for example KMonth
[01:06] <KM0201> ok
[01:07] <SubstreamAI> rww: there is no User Name field...
[01:07] <rww> SubstreamAI: should look something like http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/69/Ubuntu_10.10_Installer.png :\
[01:07] <padster> why was i kicked?
[01:07] <soroush> tchebb: even I cannot upgrade through GUI and i have to do sudo apt-get upgrade
[01:07] <tchebb> soroush: What GUI are you using, and do you get a warning when you install from the terminal? If you do, paste it here.
[01:07] <padster> oh, wrong channel, sry
[01:07] <SubstreamAI> rww: no, that's exactly what it looks like :)
[01:08] <rww> SubstreamAI: The third input box down...
[01:08]  * SubstreamAI is an idiot... so sorry
[01:08] <Nicolas_Leonidas> has anyone ever installed zend server?
[01:08] <soroush> tchebb: synaptic package manager or Ubuntu sotware center
[01:08] <brianBTB> mikel, that seems to be a good place to start.
[01:08] <Nicolas_Leonidas> I can't find the apache .conf file, there is one in /etc/apache2/ but that seems to have nothing to do with what's running on my computer
[01:09] <soroush> tchebb: I have the problem with both of them
[01:09] <SubstreamAI> rww: forgive me... I just don't know whats wrong with me.  Its not my day.  Thanks, :)
[01:09] <Nicolas_Leonidas> because I remove virtual hosts and they still work, I add new ones and they don't work
[01:09] <KM0201> Guest73344: open a terminal and type "google-earth" no quotes, hit enter, and see if you get a "bin not found" error
[01:09] <Guest73344> yes
[01:09] <fmigpaulo> kernel experts, i need help: http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10243985#post10243985
[01:09] <shcherbak> rww: you seems to have ability to convince people to accept truth very humbly.
[01:09] <Guest73344> ./googleearth-bin: not found
[01:09] <KM0201> Guest73344: ok... hold on, trying the fix now
[01:09] <rww> SubstreamAI: np. Did you get it working now?
[01:10] <tchebb> soroush: What error do you get exactly?
[01:10] <SubstreamAI> rww: I just CAN'T believe I failed that one... gadz.  Yes, it seems to be working
[01:10] <rww> :)
[01:11] <soroush> tchebb: exactly I get the error Richiede l'installazione di pacchetti non fidati ### I couldn-t find english translation in translationproject.org. BUT IT MEANS requesting installation of untrusted packages
[01:11] <guampa> fmigpaulo: looks like a broken hdd
[01:11] <SubstreamAI> rww: Thank you sir.  I hope the rest of your day goes far better than the last 30 min of mine!  :)
[01:11] <brianBTB> mikel, all, it doesnt seem to do much
[01:11] <brianBTB> ...
[01:11] <KM0201> Guest73344: u there?
[01:12] <Guest73344> Yes, I am.
[01:12] <KM0201> Guest73344: open a terminal and    sudo apt-get install lsb-core     it's gonna wanna install about 15-16 packages, let it do it.. then google earth will work
[01:13] <tchebb> soroush: Paste the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list at http://paste.ubuntu.com/ and paste that link here
[01:14] <fmigpaulo> ty for the information guampa. Can i do anything to repair it? hdd is not entirely broken or else i could not be here...
[01:14] <Raydiation> !date
[01:14] <Guest73344> It's getting the 15-16 packages. I don't know how you guys do it, but one day, I want to. =P
[01:14] <soroush> tchebb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/544692/ as you can see just some of them are enabled
[01:14] <KM0201> Guest73344: when you have a problematic app... always try to start it in terminal and when it crashes, google the reason it crashes, you'll usually find somene has figured it out...
[01:14] <Guest73344> Oh, cool. Thanks.
[01:14] <KM0201> in this case.. googleearth, doesn't start google earth anymore, google-earth does
[01:15] <KM0201> Guest73344: in this case, i just googled the error i got when it tried to start.. and it was the first link google turned up
[01:15] <bezao> hi my ubuntu lost network config, it was using eth0, now it is using eth3, but i only have one network card, and my ubuntu cant ping my router/dhcp or any others computers on the lan
[01:15] <Guest73344> Excellent.  Well, I'm sure I'll be back.  Thanks, again.
[01:15] <benkillin> oh screw this channel
[01:15] <brianBTB> Guys, just scoping if anyone would be interested, a user made (not official) merger of Back Track and Ubuntu. Nice GUI with all the hacking tools you could dream of.
[01:16] <KM0201> Guest73344: np
[01:16] <brianBTB> I am going to try if enough people would like it
[01:16] <tchebb> soroush: Now paste the output of 'sudo apt-key list'
[01:17] <guampa> fmigpaulo: try running smartcl -a /dev/sda and see what it throws, it'll give you more info on the disk health. OTOH i had once a similar problem and was kernel related, i only got rid of it upgrading to a newer kernel from the kernel devs ppa
[01:17] <soroush> tchebb: http://paste.ubuntu.com/544694/
[01:18] <fmigpaulo> ok. In this case kernel upgrade won't work... at least from the last one to current
[01:19] <guampa> fmigpaulo: then prolly it's the disk. and yes you may be able to use it semi normally for a while before it kicks
[01:19] <fmigpaulo> ty very much
[01:19] <tchebb> soroush: I assume you've tried 'sudo apt-get update'
[01:19] <guampa> np

[01:20] <brianBTB> *and gals
[01:20] <soroush> tchebb: I've already done it too
[01:20] <soroush> tchebb: but how is it related and how can I solve the problem
[01:21] <guampa> brianBTB: but..isn't bt ubuntu-based already?
[01:21] <brianBTB> yes, but it is ubuntu 10.10
[01:21] <brianBTB> now and it was 8.* then]
[01:21] <soroush> tchebb: now I have to copy the package lists to install them through terminal and i can't install or upgrade many (maybe any) packages using ubuntu software center
[01:22] <tchebb> soroush: Okay. You seem to have the proper signing keys. You can try commenting out the last line in sources.list
[01:22] <tchebb> soroush: I'm not sure why it's there. Do you need it for something?
[01:23] <brianBTB> the GUI on bt is horrid. I like pretty GUI. so pretty...
[01:24] <soroush> tchebb: I did it but the problem is remained
[01:24] <tchebb> soroush: Did you run apt'get update after doing it?

[01:26] <revberaldo> Hello, I'm trying to get a Realtek 8190 to work with Ubuntu Maverick but I'm having trouble…
[01:26] <edwinT> Has anyone ever tried to use one Ubuntu machine to run 2 monitors, 2 keyboards, 2 mice, and 2 users (on each)?
[01:26] <iszak> How can I get nginx/mysql/php5-fpm services to auto-start?
[01:26] <netbeast> hello
[01:27] <edwinT> One machine, 2 physical user setup?
[01:27] <revberaldo> I installed the net8190p Windows XP driver with ndiswrapper, I can find the wireless networks but it won't connect
[01:27] <Chris_E> hi
[01:27] <luxurymode> Hey all. I'm running dual monitors in ubuntu with ATI catalyst. When I click to maximize a youtube video, it maximizes it onto the other screen. Thoughts?
[01:28] <soroush> tchebb: apt-get update was run with some errors >W: Impossibile recuperare http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-backports/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.gz  Impossibile connettersi a it.archive.ubuntu.com:http: [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[01:28] <brianBTB> edwinT, not that I know but it would be cool
[01:28] <shcherbak> bezao: put down eth3 (sudo ifconfig eth3) and restart network and rise eth0
[01:28] <soroush> tchebb: and it didn't still work
[01:28] <shcherbak> bezao: sudo ifconfig eth3 down
[01:28] <edwinT> hey brian, yeah it would be nice. It's possible, but I haven't looked at what it would require.
[01:28] <soroush> tchebb: when I go to ubuntu software center I can't install kmouth
[01:28] <Milosz> what do you think about ubuntu cloud and web server with 4 sites?
[01:29] <CakeSwim> Hey folks, anyone got any experience with Android development with eclipse on ubuntu? I'm having trouble getting my g2 recognised properly
[01:29]  * dannyLopez ya regresa
[01:29] <iszak> luxurymode, flashhacker for ubuntu or something.
[01:29] <brianBTB> ...? hmm... why would you want to, edwinT
[01:29] <luxurymode> iszak: thank you sir. where can i get it?
[01:29] <tchebb> soroush: It looks like that line wasn't commented out. What exactly did you do?
[01:29] <ftg2> CakeSwim: i've done some but i don't have an actual device, so i probably can't help you
[01:30] <netbeast> why is it always onething in linux that doesnt want to work
[01:30] <iszak> luxurymode, try http://firefox-tutorials.blogspot.com/2010/06/flash-issues-solutions.html
[01:30] <netbeast> damn camera
[01:30] <CakeSwim> ...I followed this: http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/device.html but I'm getting ???????? n/a target unkown in Android Device Chooser
[01:30] <edwinT> I work at a library and we have two machines that are only used to look up book information by Patrons. I just thought it would be useful only to need a single computer.
[01:30] <iszak> luxurymode, "FlashHacker" is actually a Windows fix for it, but I'm assuming there's one for linux.
[01:30] <soroush> tchebb: I have commented the last line #deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-backports restricted main multiverse universe
[01:30] <luxurymode> iszak: right. im using chrome. does that make a diff?
[01:30] <KM0201> netbeast: just gotta research your stuff thoroughly... before you buy.. :)
[01:30] <iszak> Honestly not sure.
[01:30] <iszak> there is a separate one for chrome on windows, but not sure about linux.
[01:31] <netbeast> ya i mean it says its supported but for some reason no program is picking it up
[01:31] <netbeast> it even reads the id off of it
[01:31] <netbeast> but i get 2 ghost video dev
[01:31] <KM0201> netbeast: well what programs have you tried?
[01:31] <netbeast> cheese
[01:31] <iszak> luxurymode, hmm
[01:31] <KM0201> what have you tried?
[01:31] <netbeast> cheese and mplayer
[01:32] <netbeast> cheesy cam booth
[01:32] <brianBTB> edwinT, interesting, I would create and interface with several microcontrollers wired to the moniters, the HID's and a large hard drive. Then just create a simple program for the unit. Bt it would be a lot harder
[01:32] <jeffreyf> Hi all...any solution for "battery may be old or broken" and a erroneous charge capacity message
[01:32] <KM0201> netbeast: and what version of ubuntu?... what hve you tried?
[01:32] <iszak> luxurymode, I'm not sure if that's the answer..
[01:32] <netbeast> 10.10
[01:32] <shcherbak> netbeast: for both v4l v4l2 ?
[01:32] <luxurymode> iszak: actually lemme first see if i have this problem in FF. i just hate FF, i prefer chrome
[01:32] <edwinT> brain: I saw the information on Userful, but the setup isn't free....
[01:32] <tchebb> soroush: Also comment out the lucid-backports line and try again
[01:32] <netbeast> i just installed it so  they say it using gspca
[01:33] <brianBTB> can U send me the link, edwinT
[01:33] <brianBTB> it is just my kind of project
[01:33] <KM0201> netbeast: oh thats right... i sent you a launchpad link a while ago, did ou do what it said?
[01:33] <netbeast> i dont know much about linux so i would think it would just see it
[01:33] <iszak> luxurymode, I don't know if a solution exists tbh now.
[01:33] <iszak> google around for it is all I can suggest.
[01:33] <netbeast> ya nothings working with it
[01:33] <KM0201> netbeast: if everything just worked w/ linux, would likely use it over 'doze
[01:33] <edwinT> brianBTB: http://www2.userful.com/
[01:33] <luxurymode> iszak: strange, i think its a monitor issue bc if i have the video playing on my left monitor and i click to maximize it maximizes on that monitor. its only when im playing on right monitor that it pushes it to the right monitor in fullscreen.
[01:34] <edwinT> And how do you message in that manner? I never used IRC in rooms this large...
[01:34] <bezao> shcherbak just put eth3 down, and restart? will bring eth0 back?
[01:34] <netbeast> it keeps saying spca but i cant install those drivers but then it says 10.10 uses gspca and the webcam is supported by it
[01:34] <soroush> tchebb: commenting these lines won-t i have problem for udating my hardware drivers(wireless and graphic card)?
[01:34] <KM0201> netbeast: ok.. did you do what launchpad said?
[01:35] <KM0201> netbeast: adding the repository, etc?
[01:35] <netbeast> ya didnt work
[01:35] <netbeast> said link is broken or something
[01:35] <KM0201> oh ok
[01:35] <brianBTB> looks sweet. I bet there is a way to do it for less but there will be no free way.
[01:35] <iszak> luxurymode, I doubt it, but possibly.
[01:36] <luxurymode> iszak: http://goo.gl/BFVGS should i try some of those solutions?
[01:36] <jeffreyf> any solution for "battery may be old or broken" and a erroneous charge capacity message.  It is a new battery
[01:36] <soroush> tchebb: anyway the problem was solved. thanks a lot. uncommenting those lines then update then trying to install kmouth package
[01:36] <netbeast> too bad i couldnt use wine to get it to work
[01:37] <shcherbak> bezao: combination sudo ifconfig eth3 && /etc/init.d/networking restart && sudo ifconfig eth0 up <--- should try to force right configuration (have you restarted nm-applet?)
[01:37] <skulltip> why is firefox and chrome loading web pages so slowly?  ubuntu 10.10 and firefox 3.6.13
[01:37] <iszak> luxurymode, you can, but I would personally google around, I haven't fixed it in linux only in windows.
[01:37] <shcherbak> bezao: all with sudo
[01:37] <netbeast> not loading slow for me
[01:37] <Zorlin> ?
[01:37] <skulltip> have static IP set up, still doesn't help for me

[01:40] <skulltip> that would kick everyone off on my network right?
[01:40] <KM0201> netbeast: got a few minutes?
[01:40] <bezao> shcherbak eth3 gave an error

[01:42] <craigbass1976> There's a raid setup on a server that just landed in my lap.  This box is currently an xp box, about to become ubuntu.  The raid is done via the bios.  Anyone have any words of warning?
[01:42] <Frodubuntu> skulltip: I thought you were suggesting me something
[01:43] <skulltip> oops sorry
[01:43] <ParthianBarbaria> !ubuntu LTS
[01:43] <jeffreyf> craigbass1976:  Test after install.  A hardware raid should work and be recognized.  if it works, then it works
[01:44] <ParthianBarbaria> !LTS
[01:44] <craigbass1976> jeffreyf, using the livecd right now, they're showing up as two seperate drives.  I'm a raid idiot; what's this mean?  I thought it was a RAID1 setup, so I guess that makes sense.  If I touch a file on one, should it show up on the other?
[01:45] <ParthianBarbaria> !nvidia
[01:45] <jeffreyf> there are two physical volumes, but the system should see it as one logical volumes.....
[01:46] <jeffreyf> depending on the setup i guess
[01:47] <skulltip> what is comparable for tracert on ubuntu
[01:47] <craigbass1976> jeffreyf, I haven't set it up yet; like I said, it's supposed to be set up (and appears to be) in the BIOS.  My test (touch raid-test) failed btw; it didnt' show up on the other drive
[01:47] <scapegoat> skulltip: 'traceroute'
[01:48] <Sanctusorium> If I virtualize Ubuntu in Windows 7, will it have full access to my ram, cpu, video card, and etc?
[01:48] <jeffreyf> craigbass1976:  I not a raid expert....have you tried the forums?
[01:48] <craigbass1976> jeffreyf, not yet.
[01:49] <stefanos> hello, can anyone help me with wireshark?
[01:50] <iszak> How can I get nginx/mysql/php5-fpm services to auto-start?
[01:50] <jeffreyf> craigbass1976:  try posting in the forums....even searching.  I may be a matter of reformatting the disks as raid first (makes sense anyway) then laying down the OS
[01:51] <jeffreyf> craigbass1976: Try the disk utilities on the live cd....no harm no foul since it isn't working yet

[02:42] <kanthbc> Hi
[02:42] <kanthbc> how to install linux distro from hdd?
[02:45] <kanthbc> THere?????????///
[02:46] <sacarlson> kanthbc: does this mean you don't have a working cd drive or usb port and a usb flash disk?
[02:46] <chi> installing ubuntu 10.10 netbook on my laptop and am on the screen for user set up and the forward button is disabled
[02:46] <chi> there is no error. so i have no idea what to do
[02:46] <kanthbc> yeah exactly
[02:47] <YiMing> Hi,I wonder why desktop softwares writen in java are so few especially in multimedia software?
[02:47] <itaylor57> chi: enter the username lower case
[02:47] <craigbass1976> YiMing, slow?
[02:47] <somebody1> hi guys i have a few simple questions about ubuntu.. can anybody helpme?
[02:47] <chi> itaylor57, thanks that fixed it
[02:47] <craigbass1976> somebody1, perhaps
[02:47] <itaylor57> np
[02:47] <sacarlson> kanthbc: but you have another system you can plug this disk into to load it up that does have a cd drive or working system running on it?
[02:48] <shcherbak> somebody1: go on!
[02:48] <kanthbc> no
[02:48] <chi> i could of sat here all day with no idea wtf was going on
[02:48] <YiMing> craigbass1976: Indeed.The startup time is really slow.But maybe it's ok after startup,I think.
[02:48] <x404x> why is the hardware channel invite only ? I have a hardware question about wifi on acer notebook
[02:48] <chi> lal
[02:49] <sacarlson> kanthbc: then how can you put any data on this hdd without a path to program it?
[02:49] <nit-wit> x404x, which acer and or which card
[02:49] <kanthbc> well i have hdd and ubuntu and xp installed to it
[02:49] <sacarlson> kanthbc: I would look into doing a pxeboot install
[02:49] <craigbass1976> YiMing, I'm biased I guess...  My latest adventure in java software has been colored.  There are memory leaks (or something) all over the place.  The longer I use it, the slower it gets.
[02:49] <craigbass1976> somebody1, what do you want to know?
[02:49] <x404x> I have acer 5044 nwlmi and cannot turn on wifi or bluetooth, tooth is installed and not detected and no wifi can be turned on, Drivers install ok and windows says the card is fine
[02:50] <x404x> but no networs are found the lights in front are off, cannot turn on the buttons
[02:50] <sacarlson> kanthbc: ok so you can boot this hdd in windows?  is that working?
[02:50] <kanthbc> yeah
[02:50] <craigbass1976> x404x, this may sound dumb, but is there a button you press to get the wifi on?  I've been bit by that before
[02:50] <x404x> do i need a specific card for the acer or is any card compatible ?
[02:50] <x404x> I have 3 diff cards here
[02:51] <sacarlson> kanthbc: and you don't have a usb flash disk?  so I guess you will have to try wubi installer
[02:51] <x404x> yes there is but nothing happens , so i suspect either i need a specific card for this model or the mainboard has a defect
[02:52] <x404x> will this acer support an intel 2100 bc card ? i also have a 2200 but same result
[02:52] <x404x> 3rd card i dunno model
[02:53] <kanthbc> HEy i dont want to install it like a program inside windows
[02:53] <YiMing> craigbass1976: Really? sounds terrible.Actually i am just a end user,and i didn't know something like mem leaks.yes,maybe that is the real reason.
[02:53] <kanthbc> HEY i tried this http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html
[02:53] <JoeMaverickSett> !wubi | kanthbc
[02:53] <sacarlson> kanthbc:   it's not but it will mount virtual partitions inside your windows partitions.  http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/windows-installer
[02:54] <x404x> hm well i dunno, im a bit stumped. both cards i have drivers for look fine and i also tryed disabling or enabling, no dice, pushing buttons does nothing and connecting gives me no network , antennas are connected and i have a 100% signal
[02:54] <craigbass1976> YiMing, it's no java's fault, just bad programming.  Java is notorious for being a bit slow though.  I've written php scripts that do some of the same things as the java app I'm talking about, and it's way faster
[02:54] <linda_> hi
[02:54] <kanthbc> heyyeah thats what im trying to tell i dont want to use it inside windows partiotion
[02:54] <craigbass1976> linda_, howdy
[02:54] <x404x> also installing bluetooth drivers says device not detected
[02:54] <nit-wit> x404x, with a quick look at google I see others with problems there is a internal ard correct what is it
[02:55] <x404x> perhaps only the atheros crap they ship will work with it ?
[02:55] <nit-wit> card
[02:55] <nit-wit> paste the out pur of lspci in paste bin
[02:56] <RX01091> hi
[02:56] <x404x> i just had one of them  fail in a brand new aspire one 150 and luckyli found an old intel card from a dead board that worked
[02:56] <nit-wit> x404x, sorry forgot to put you name in paste the output of lspci in the termional to pastebin
[02:56] <kanthbc> anybody?
[02:56] <x404x> whats lspci ?
[02:57] <x404x> an ububu program ?
[02:57] <nit-wit> x404x, it is a terminal command that will identify the hardware, and make you a cup of coffee. ;)
[02:57] <x404x> wow i prefer tea tho, is there a command for tea with sugar ?
[02:58] <x404x> i already know the hardware for two cards and have the correct drivers
[02:58] <nit-wit> x404x, sorry this is open source its caffeine here.
[02:58] <sacarlson> kanthbc: well without any other media to start from that's my only suggestion,  but after you install the wubi version you could then use that as a point to install it to another real partition or even chroot into another partition outside window file system
[02:58] <x404x> but i think think the acer disables if the lights are off
[02:58] <YiMing> craigbass1976: i guess j2se will not have a bright future in desktop software programming.
[02:58] <bucky> !hi
[02:58] <kanthbc> ok thanks
[02:58] <bucky> kanthbc, you mean without a cdrom or usb stick?
[02:58] <x404x> so either the mainboard is broken i think or only support certain cards i suspect
[02:58] <kanthbc> yeah
[02:58] <inphernal> If I have a Win7 Recovery disc and system image discs, do I need a Win7 recovery partition?
[02:59] <bucky> kanthbc, windows 7 ?
[02:59] <nit-wit> x404x, my acer asipre one I never look at the lights it wasn't desingned to run open source nor visa versa
[02:59] <kanthbc> no
[02:59] <kanthbc> xp
[02:59] <sacarlson> bucky: and no other system to use to netboot liek pxeboot kanthbc
[02:59] <bucky> kanthbc, hmmm... google it I found one for 7 http://www.harddiskdriverepair.com/upgrade/how-to-install-ubuntu-from-hard-disk-drive-in-the-win-7-without-cd-rom.html
[02:59] <craigbass1976> inphernal, just wipe it.  Clean off that windows 7 install while you're at it.  :)
[02:59] <x404x> i see many have same problem also, acer doesnt have a clue what random card they put in so the user has to search for the correct driver themselves
[02:59] <nit-wit> x404x, I think it needs a tweak i probably don't know
[02:59] <craigbass1976> x404x, what's the model number?
[02:59] <x404x> since acer uses random stuff more than one card should work
[03:00] <inphernal> Haha I would but I'm still just learning my way around with Ubuntu
[03:00] <craigbass1976> x404x, of the computer
[03:00] <x404x> so maybe my mainboard has a defekt ? not suppling all the signals or something
[03:00] <inphernal> Is the recovery partition just the same thing as my system image discs?
[03:00] <craigbass1976> inphernal, it'll be fun! so long as oyu don't game much...
[03:00] <jacobson> hello. what can i use in ubuntu to find specs of the computer i am using?

[03:00] <inphernal> Ok, thanks
[03:01] <craigbass1976> x404x, awww  I htought I could help you.  I've got the 5517 and there's a 5516 sitting here to at the moment; wireless works on both.
[03:01] <x404x> do they have those buttons ?
[03:01] <nit-wit> x404x, my aspire one has always worked /Atheros Communications Inc. AR5001 Wireless Network Adapter (rev 010 this is from the lspci command on my setup
[03:01] <breadcrumb> inphernal, with my dell netbook, the XP disc is just a normal XP disc, except it only works when a dell BIOS is present. the recovery partition on the hard drive had all the dell-branded bloatware
[03:01] <breadcrumb> so they were different in that case
[03:02] <jacobson> hello. what can i use in ubuntu to find specs of the computer i am using?
[03:02] <guampa> jacobson: lshw
[03:02] <inphernal> Yeah, I'm on a Toshiba laptop, didn't come with a recovery disk though, so I bad one when I first set Win7 up and made a system image while I was at it

[03:03] <Tr0gd0r> ubuntu thinks its a mouse not a touchpad
[03:03] <Romeo5k>  dpkg -i nxclient_3.4.0-7_i386.deb
[03:03] <Romeo5k> dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
[03:03] <faustisch> what's wrong?
[03:03] <x404x> does the button / light depend on correct driver installed or the card working ?
[03:03] <Romeo5k> how do i fix that anyone?
[03:03] <faustisch> Romeo5k, sudo
[03:03] <x404x> I have had cards where the rf fails , it seems to work fine but not find any nets
[03:04] <nit-wit> inphernal, would you like a free legal recovery disc not the install but recovery
[03:04] <x404x> i doubt all 3 cards i have are dead tho
[03:04] <Romeo5k> crap
[03:04] <Romeo5k>  thnx faustisch
[03:04] <Zergost> having trouble sharing my wifi with my ethernet port; advice?
[03:04] <faustisch> Romeo5k, you are welcome
[03:04] <cntb> !wifi
[03:04] <x404x> can one turn on the light with no card installed ?
[03:04] <breadcrumb> inphernal, well the recovery disks *should* work, i guess you wouldn't know until you tried them. you also have the option of making an image of the hard drive, thats what i did. used Clonezilla, so i can return it to factory default if i ever want to sell it
[03:05] <inphernal> nit-wit, I would appreciate that
[03:05] <craigbass1976> x404x, there's a button just above the center of the keywoard
[03:05] <inphernal> breadcrumb, I do have an image of the whole system, right post-setup
[03:06] <x404x> those 4 buttons are just keyboard shortcuts
[03:06] <nit-wit> inphernal, this is just a disc to boot to get to a repair recovery situation. http://neosmart.net/blog/2009/windows-7-system-repair-discs/
[03:06] <x404x> the buttons to turn on or off are in front next to mic-ear jacks
[03:06] <nit-wit> inphernal, your set if you have a image you can load it with this disc
[03:06] <inphernal> Ok, thank you nit-wit, I'll burn one of those just in case
[03:07] <inphernal> Coolio, thank you =]
[03:07] <sacarlson> kanthbc: if your not getting that then best stay with your skill levels and stick with wubi for now.  also it might be posible from the wubi install to use startup-disk-creator  to install a installer on the hard drive.  it seems the startup-disk-creator doesn't care what kind of a disk it is
[03:07] <shcherbak> x404x: rtkill list
[03:07] <nit-wit> inphernal, I have my images on a HD so I use the recovery to load from there.
[03:07] <kanthbc> never mind thanks
[03:08] <GaryD> hello..does anyone know how to fix lxdmconf? it gives me errors when trying to start it as root.
[03:08] <Romeo5k> do i have to sudo this too??:

[03:08] <Romeo5k> NX> 500 ERROR: Only user: root can use option: install.
[03:08] <inphernal> Yeah, sometime in the near future I'm planning on getting an external, then I'll dump recovery/backup stuff on there
[03:08] <nirazio> what is meant by hit in update????
[03:08] <nirazio> what is meant by hit in update????

[03:08] <Tr0gd0r> How can I make ubuntu recognize my synaptics touchpad.  Xinput shows the PS/2 Synaptics Touchpad, but I dont have any touchpad settings available to me. Ubuntu thinks I have a mouse not a touchpad
[03:09] <x404x> hm not sure what u mean scher, sysreq ? thats for crashed stuff, it doesnt crash, just fail to enable
[03:09] <Romeo5k> anyone?
[03:09] <bucky> GaryD how did you install it?
[03:10] <x404x> maybe i need to google more if different cards can work and if there is a fix if the light is dead, my ligh never gives a flicker ;(
[03:10] <itaylor57> Romeo5k: yes you must use sudo to do an install
[03:10] <partyboy_25> nick partyboy25

[03:10] <YiMing> I‘m looking for a alternative emule client,because amule was really slow in my pc and mldonky was too complex.anyone can recommend some for me?
[03:10] <nirazio> what is mean by hit in update????
[03:10] <GaryD> bucky: from the lxde/lubuntu ppa
[03:11] <bucky> ah.... good
[03:11] <J381> hey guys-
[03:11] <J381> got  a question
[03:11] <shcherbak> x404x: check hardware on drivers providers (as long as it is open source) all capabilites should be listed there.
[03:11] <x404x> luckily im about 300 yards from the asian acer headquarters, they hopefully know the problem
[03:12] <GaryD> bucky: any ideas?
[03:13] <J381> how do I get my Netgear WNR2000v2 wireless router to connect with ubuntu 10.04
[03:13] <J381> normally it would just pop up and i could connect to it but i dont know how
[03:14] <bucky> GaryD so when you sudo lxdmconf   you get errors?
[03:15] <J381> anyone?
[03:15] <shcherbak> J381: can you be more specific, "normally" with Ubuntu?
[03:16] <J381> like when i used old versions of ubuntu on my desktop the main modem connected immediately
[03:16] <pconwell|bbl> need ddrescue help... I used to use ddrescue /dev/cdrom ~/Desktop/out.iso ~/Desktop/out.log, but that doesn't work anymore. Did the /dev/cdrom path change in 10.10?
[03:16] <shcherbak> J381: ok, you gnome?
[03:16] <J381> now with my laptop i dont know how to get 10.04 to connect
[03:17] <J381> shcherbak: im using windows atm so i dont now
[03:17] <J381> oh yes gnome desktop
[03:17] <GaryD> bucky: sorry...yes. i get errors.
[03:17] <shcherbak> J381: let me virtualise, on top panel you will see set of icons...
[03:18] <J381> yes
[03:18] <inphernal> When making a partition for Ubuntu, to dual boot with Windows, do I make it a primary or logical partition?
[03:18] <KM0201> inphernal: usually primary.
[03:18] <KM0201> inphernal: it's probably easier to partition the drive while installing though, rather than do it before hand
[03:19] <KM0201> but it realy doesn't matter
[03:19] <inphernal> Ok, I want to split it into /home and / and use FSdrive in Windows
[03:19] <isai> just installed Ubuntu LTS, installed hanged at "wiping swap space" screen. So rebooted and everything seems to work. Am I good to go? Or did I miss something after the swap space wipe?
[03:19] <inphernal> Should those be ext3?
[03:19] <inphernal> And yes, I am doing it through the installer
[03:19] <shcherbak> J381: find network manager icon and click on it...
[03:19] <J381> okay
[03:20] <s5s> does anyone know how to send a mail message with alpine with file foo as the message?? I only need the command. My alpine is configured.
[03:20] <KM0201> inphernal: usually ext4... i don't buy into the craziness of /home on a separate partition, but whatever tickles your fancy
[03:20] <J381> again im in windows so i will do this when i switch over
[03:20] <isai> do I have to re-install again?
[03:20] <shcherbak> J381: you looking foll edit connection item
[03:20] <sacarlson> inphernal: I would just delete the partition before install and follow most the defaults ubuntu gives you,  the added /home option sounds ok
[03:21] <delaman> SSD question:  The last time I used 10.10 on an SSD the hardware failed.  The corrupted everything had to return it, this was like 3 months ago or so.  Now i installed 10.10 on another SSD and the hardware SSD failed AGAIN!  does unbuntu 10.10 not good with SSD's ???
[03:21] <J381> okay shcherbak what do i do
[03:21] <J381> then
[03:22] <elpiratedechron> hey odd question here. Any known reason why when going to the "about ubuntu" in the system menu the webpage it brings up seems to thilnk I'm using 11.04?
[03:22] <elpiratedechron> instead of 10.10?
[03:22] <shcherbak> J381: panel -> network manager -> edit connection (you should open window)
[03:22] <elpiratedechron> I know for sure I dind't upgrade to any beta
[03:22] <sacarlson> delaman: well ssd have a limited write life,  I wonder if ubuntu is writing at some high interval?
[03:22] <elpiratedechron> just noticed and thought it odd
[03:22] <KM0201> elpiratedechron: wel, are you using 11.04?
[03:22] <elpiratedechron> .........
[03:22] <delaman> sacarlson: the first one lasted like 2 hours, this last one like 3 weeks
[03:22] <nirazio> Is there any [yahoo + Gmail + Hotmail] “widget” notifier?
[03:22] <elpiratedechron> please read what I said
[03:23] <White-Horse> I installed Avast Anti Virus for Linux and every time (after I install it) I reboot or shutdown the Avast Icon from the Applications/Accessories/ is not there anymore I am using ubuntu 10.04
[03:23] <elpiratedechron> I know I didn't upgrade to any beta
[03:23] <KM0201> elpiratedechron: wel,l you never know
[03:23] <elpiratedechron> i'm using 10.10
[03:23] <J381> ive done that shcherbak and put in the passcode and such which my router used
[03:23] <elpiratedechron> whcih it says upon boot and shutdown
[03:23] <delaman> sacarlson: im running 9.10 right now flawlessly for like 3 months now.
[03:23] <J381> but it never connects
[03:23] <dw-_> White-Horse: just use evolution it rocks
[03:23] <elpiratedechron> seems like a glitch in the process that checks ver number to mer
[03:23] <sacarlson> delaman: well I guess you can look at iotop and get an idea of what trafic is put on your ssd device.  I can't imagin it could kill it that quick
[03:23] <elpiratedechron> or maybe a one time fluke I"ll try relaoding
[03:24] <KM0201> White-Horse: do you have to reinstall it, or is it just the icon is gone? can you run it from terminal?
[03:24] <elpiratedechron> oh I guess it's not a web page
[03:24] <dw-> White-Horse: its got a toolbar notifier what else do ya need.... :)
[03:24] <elpiratedechron> just sorta looks like one it's just the about page
[03:24] <KM0201> no.. it's not a webpage
[03:24] <elpiratedechron> wer broswer
[03:24] <shcherbak> J381: ok, what you using WPA or WEP?
[03:24] <elpiratedechron> er*
[03:24] <J381> WPA
[03:24] <elpiratedechron> if you're stupid and don't pay attention
[03:24] <delaman> sacarlson: what is this "iotop" ive never heard of it and i dont know how to read the output :(
[03:24] <elpiratedechron> I just couldn't remember what the code name for 10.10 was so I went to look
[03:24] <shcherbak> J381: you sure?
[03:24] <sacarlson> delaman: at what mount point did you put this ssd that died in 10.10?
[03:24] <elpiratedechron> and it said the wrong version
[03:25] <J381> wpa2-personal
[03:25] <White-Horse> KM0201 I see .avast folder but no way to start and the icon is gone far as i know
[03:25] <delaman> sacarlson: mount point?  the default one the installer uses
[03:25] <Guest8621> who is this
[03:25] <sacarlson> delaman: try man iotop or google it.  it will display the trafic to io devices
[03:25] <elpiratedechron> I'm not set to install any non final upgrades though :\
[03:26] <shcherbak> J381: change apropirately in security tab (wireless conection -> edit)
[03:26] <sacarlson> delaman: does that include the swap partition?
[03:26] <delaman> sacarlson: yes
[03:26] <shcherbak> J381: in tab Ipv4 set Automatic
[03:26] <J381> what do you mean  shcherbak ?
[03:26] <sacarlson> delaman: well that might kill it in some short time if you put alot of trafic on swap
[03:27] <delaman> sacarlson: so you recommend doing away with swap?
[03:27] <gabo> anyone has some usefull information about the openBSD backdoor?
[03:27] <elpiratedechron> and when I run "cat /etc/issue"
[03:27] <elpiratedechron> it clearly says 10.10
[03:27] <elpiratedechron> so wtf?
[03:27] <sacarlson> delaman: well I would analize were the trafic might be coming from before makeing any judgment
[03:27] <elpiratedechron> thats so a glitch
[03:27] <forteller> Hi. Could anyone point me to a website with directions on how to have an internal HDD mount on boot up/log in?
[03:28] <delaman> sacarlson: im on a SSD with 9.10 it seems fine.  The problem is with 10.10.  I'm scared im just going to trash ANOTHER 60GB SSD.
[03:28] <sacarlson> delaman: and if not much trafic can be seen maybe it's just bad hardware
[03:28] <shcherbak> J381: in window of network manager (title Network Connections) go to Wireless
[03:28] <delaman> sacarlson: but TWO SSD's ?
[03:28] <J381> ok
[03:28] <shcherbak> J381: Pick your network and press edit
[03:29] <sacarlson> delaman: ya and one it two hours?  you can analize trafic on 10.10 without the ssd to verify
[03:29] <itaylor57> elpiratedechron: what does uname -a return
[03:29] <White-Horse> forteller most times its an external HDD why internal one ? grub takes care of the boot up
[03:29] <forteller> Every time I do a clean install I have to put a line of text into a config file (fstab?) to get this working. And every time I use a _lot_ og time just to find a page that tells me what line of text, making me incredibly frustrated.
[03:29] <delaman> sacarlson: not sure i understand completely your last sentence :(
[03:30] <elpiratedechron> itaylor57: O_o
[03:30] <elpiratedechron> the kernel version
[03:30] <KM0201> lol
[03:30] <sacarlson> delaman: try 10.10 on a system that has no ssd like normal hdd and do the measurment with iotop or other there
[03:30] <delaman> sacarlson got cha
[03:31] <KM0201> forteller: ok.. so... copy that line of text to a file, and keep it somewhere(with your backups?) when you have to reinstall, just copy/paste it from there.. maybe even put the instructions in the file, so you don't have to google
[03:31] <elpiratedechron> well not just the kernel
[03:31] <delaman> sacarlson: thanks
[03:31] <elpiratedechron> but that seems to be all that's important there
[03:31] <elpiratedechron> it also shows my username and some other stuff
[03:31] <forteller> White-Horse: I have two internal HDDs. One with Ubuntu on, obviously, and the other is just extra space. But that second HDD never mounts automatically on boot unless I put the right line of text into the right config file
[03:31] <elpiratedechron> but anyway the about ubuntu still seems to be broke, at least for me
[03:31] <elpiratedechron> anybody else wanna test that and see if it's returning 11.04 with most up to date 10.10?
[03:32] <elpiratedechron> not that it really matters I just am curious if it's just me
[03:32] <elpiratedechron> in the system menu
[03:32] <White-Horse> ok hold on forteller one sec
[03:32] <forteller> KM0201: Yes, I'll do that this time. I'm annoyed with myself for not having done that before
[03:32] <KM0201> forteller: lol
[03:32] <forteller> White-Horse: Thanks!
[03:32] <KM0201> forteller: i have a very detaild file w/ my backups detailing how i've set up several things
[03:32] <forteller> KM0201: :)
[03:33] <KM0201> program configurations, etc
[03:33] <Guest85909> Hi any wireless gurus here?
[03:33] <itaylor57> elpiratedechron: I get the same response
[03:33] <elpiratedechron> hu
[03:33] <elpiratedechron> so it IS broke
[03:33] <elpiratedechron> I DEMAND IT BE FIXED >:o
[03:33]  * elpiratedechron rages
[03:33] <forteller> KM0201: Sounds like a good idea!
[03:33] <itaylor57> elpiratedechron: yep
[03:33] <Milossh> hello. I have installed ubuntu on one hdd, and windows on another one. Now, how would I add windows to the grub2?
[03:33] <elpiratedechron> although I do like it thinking I"m using a version that's not out yet
[03:33] <elpiratedechron> makes me feel l33t
[03:34] <elpiratedechron> well... not offcially out
[03:34] <Bazz> Ok, i am in Python terminal, trying to import TkInter, it is saying that it does not exist, and that i need to install the python-tk package, where do i get this?
[03:34] <sacarlson> Milossh: I think it's like sudo grub-update
[03:34] <Bazz> also, im new to this, so any help would be nice
[03:34] <White-Horse> forteller go here for step by step: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1498130
[03:34] <elpiratedechron> Milossh: if you had installed them the other way around it would have helped you do it automatically :p
[03:34] <forteller> I just don't get why not all internal HDDs are mounted automatically, or why there at least isn't a really easy way of turning that on.
[03:35] <elpiratedechron> but there should be a command similar to sacarlson's that does it too
[03:35] <elpiratedechron> :)
[03:35] <JoeMaverickSett> Bazz: sudo apt-get install python-tk
[03:35] <elpiratedechron> anyway thanks for checking that itaylor57, see you all later :D
[03:35] <Guest85909> is there a way I can take the wireless network drivers from a live usb and transfer them to my installed version?
[03:35] <Milossh> sacarlson: no working, unknown command
[03:35] <k-rad> i usually do alt-f2 and type conky &.  what do i type inside of "startup programs" in order to launch conky ?
[03:36] <jimi_> It seems like after upgrading my webcam is slow an unresponsive alot.
[03:37] <Bazz> joe, i am sorry, what? sudo? again i am very new to the ubuntu system, i have no exp with it, or any of its terms yet, i have been using it for about 1hr now
[03:37] <sacarlson> Milossh: sorry try sudo update-grub
[03:38] <forteller> White-Horse: Thanks a lot! But that was a lot of instructions. I'm used to only having to add 1 line into a config file, as I mentioned. But this might be a better way to do it? Gnome Do/Synapse doesn't normally support doing anything with any files on my second HDD, maybe this will fix that?
[03:38] <Milossh> sacarlson: works like a charm: Found Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1
[03:38] <Milossh> sacarlson: thanks dude
[03:39] <sacarlson> Milossh: cool maybe I will get it correct the first time next time
[03:39] <JoeMaverickSett> Bazz: open a terminal, Applications > Accessories > Terminal and type this command; sudo apt-get install python-tk
[03:39] <Bazz> ok, thank you.
[03:39] <gabo> does anyone know how can i change the right click >>"open with" form
[03:39] <gabo> it takes a really long time
[03:39] <gabo> to find the aplications
[03:40] <White-Horse> forteller its only 5 steps and it will always auto mount your 2nd HDD and give you owner rights to that drive so you can do anything you want with it
[03:40] <forteller> White-Horse: Alright. I'll give it a try. Thanks again! :)
[03:40] <White-Horse> forteller you only have to do this 1 time
[03:40] <shcherbak> k-rad: rather add conky to user crontab
[03:41] <Bazz> thank you JoeMaverickSett, it worked
[03:41] <White-Horse> after that it will auto mount every time you boot up
[03:41] <JoeMaverickSett> Bazz: no problem, glad it worked. :)
[03:41] <shcherbak> k-rad: sleep 20 && conky & <-- looks good just add absolute paths
[03:42] <White-Horse> your are welcome forteller
[03:42] <forteller> White-Horse: :)
[03:42] <wqapol_> I terminated (Ctrl +c) imediately while executing apt-get install, now I can not enter it again, gives lock file error. removing  /var/cache/apt/archives/lock does not help.
[03:43] <J381> okay shcherbak what do i do
[03:43] <wqapol_> The two line error: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[03:43] <wqapol_> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[03:43] <shcherbak> wqapol_: sudo apt-get install -f
[03:43] <J381> i just tried setting up the network with the information you gave but it didnt work
[03:43] <KM0201> wqapol_: do you have something else open running root?
[03:43] <J381> can you query me a set of instructions?
[03:43] <wqapol_> shcherbak: stillt he same error
[03:43] <shcherbak> J381: panel > network icon > edit connections
[03:43] <J381> okay
[03:43] <J381> then
[03:44] <wqapol_> J381: No, at the moment i have noly i console runnning
[03:44] <shcherbak> J381: in new (opened) window go to wireless
[03:44] <J381> then
[03:44] <shcherbak> J381: pick your network and Edit
[03:44] <J381> what network?
[03:45] <shcherbak> J381: your wireless you want to connect to.#
[03:45] <shcherbak> J381: is there any?
[03:45] <J381> thats the thing- one doesnt show up unless i create it using "create network"
[03:45] <wqapol_> KM0201: shcherbak closing and reopening the terminal did the job
[03:46] <shcherbak> wqapol_: noted, thx
[03:46] <shcherbak> J381: no,
[03:46] <KM0201> wqapol_: yeah, he probably had two terminals running root.
[03:46] <wqapol_> KM0201: No I only had a single temrinal session
[03:46] <shcherbak> J381: click on ison to have list of networks, and try to connect.
[03:47] <J381> there are no networks that show up
[03:47] <KM0201> wqapol_: well, that error only shows up when two things are trying to run root commands.. so something else had root locked
[03:47] <shcherbak> wqapol_: do you want to paste revelant auth entries?
[03:48] <wqapol_> KM0201: But you see, I only had to reopne the terminal to get things working again.
[03:48] <shcherbak> J381: ? What is written in menu under Wireless networks?
[03:48] <itaylor57> KM0201: could be running a background root app
[03:48] <wqapol_> shcherbak: sure, but what do i need to do?
[03:48] <KM0201> possible
[03:48] <J381> nothing
[03:48] <shcherbak> wqapol_: i am just curious... no need.
[03:49] <wqapol_> itaylor57: Yeah, but I immediately trerminated while doing apt-get install. At that exact moment it was fetching the package list
[03:49] <shcherbak> J381: ok, panel > icon... just right-click...
[03:49] <J381> to edit connections
[03:49] <J381> yes
[03:50] <nobodyspecial> Computer seems to be running slower than normal
[03:50] <nobodyspecial> Any clue why this might be?
[03:50] <shcherbak> J381: two entries: Enable Networking and Enable Wireless, both should have a tick
[03:50] <Bazz> have you installed anything lately?
[03:51] <Bazz> Nobodyspecial: have u installed anything lately?
[03:51] <J381> okay
[03:51] <nobodyspecial> nope
[03:51] <Bazz> hmmm, what does it do? just go slow?
[03:51] <shcherbak> KM0201: or he clicked Ctrl-z
[03:51] <zkirill> Should all my files in /var/www/ be owned by root or am I doing something wrong?
[03:52] <shcherbak> J381: so, both enabled?
[03:52] <J381> what then
[03:52] <nobodyspecial> I click on something, and it loads slower than it used to
[03:52] <J381> when i switch to ubuntu i will try again
[03:52] <J381> im in windows atm
[03:52] <industry__> zkirill: you can have them owned by any user
[03:52] <shcherbak> J381: click on same icon (normal click) to see networks
[03:53] <J381> okay
[03:53] <wqapol_> nobodyspecial: Check what program are using  music resources, press Ctrl + esc
[03:53] <shcherbak> J381: if they are there, try to connect, give password, use right encription...
[03:54] <J381> okay
[03:54] <nobodyspecial> ctrl+esc does nothing
[03:54] <J381> will try it again
[03:54] <thethinker> didn't ubutu have a off-topic room in freenode?
[03:54] <bubble> i was compiling wubi 8.10 from source, but am getting an error when I run 'make' saying "GRUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade your binutils
[03:54] <bubble> ". My binutils is the latest version 2.20. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

[03:54] <coder2> i want to analyse the source code of a software written in c/c++........so what tool/software i should use for better understanding??
[03:55] <shcherbak> coder2: text editor
[03:55] <itaylor57> !eol
[03:55] <nobodyspecial> nothing running over 2%
[03:55] <fckingwicked> i am thinking of partitianing my disk so ubuntu and windows can dual boot with a fat32 (or ntfs) partitian for data. i would partitian ubuntu and data and leave free space for windows?
[03:55] <coder2> shcherbak: which text editor???
[03:56] <industry__> any of them work, how about gedit?
[03:56] <bucky> thethinker, #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:56] <wqapol_> nobodyspecial: check if you have any file indexing services, extensively using hard disk
[03:56] <fckingwicked> and im probably gonna have problems with windows overwriting my mbr?
[03:56] <MarkSS> I installed a program from source. I went into .config and its folder in there to look for the logs. Now the logs are no longer there. What happened?
[03:56] <nobodyspecial> What would I be looking for with that?
[03:57] <shcherbak> coder2: well, me would go for vim and nano, but kate have good reputation. emacs is for more advanced users (or determined)
[03:57] <nobodyspecial> Nothing is using over 65 MiB RAM
[03:58] <nobodyspecial> Any idea?
[03:59] <wqapol_> nobodyspecial: no idea , may be others might help  you, is it a new install of ubuntu
[03:59] <nobodyspecial> nope, not a new install
[04:00] <shcherbak> coder2: i think code::blocks and eclipse is this you look for
[04:00] <M4d3L> hi. why it doesnt have the lastest version of Eclipse in ubuntu package?
[04:01] <GaryD> can anyone help with lxdmconf? i installed it from the lxde/lubuntu ppa. i get errors about the desktop session when i try to run it as root.
[04:03] <coder2> shcherbak: thank you,i think code blocks will help me....:)
[04:03] <boyka> Hello
[04:03] <GaryD> however i get no errors when running it as myself. however, it doesn't actually work unless you run it as root.
[04:03] <RiCON> how do i change the LANG environment variable system-wide?
[04:03] <industry__> so what you're saying is, it only runs as root?
[04:04] <M4d3L> how I untar a package and setup it to be run from command line?
[04:04] <GaryD> industry_: the changes only go into effect when ran as root.
[04:04] <industry__> the changes to what, your settings?
[04:05] <GaryD> when ran as user i get this...ERROR: lxdmconf is not launched as root
[04:05] <Jared1> I am running Ubuntu 10.04 off of a USB pen drive version of the live CD, because I can't install it on my broken hdd. I downloaded the Second Life Viewer 2.0 and it ran fine, but more recently it has been closing randomly. No error message is displayed, either. I ran 10.04 back when it came out, before my hdd messed up; and the same thing was happening. I specifically remember Audacity closing, along with Firefox and Google Chrome. I beli
[04:05] <industry__> this is on a new install?
[04:06] <Jared1> @industry_ Mine?
[04:06] <GaryD> but i get 3 different errors involving python and DESKTOP_SESSION...yes. on a fresh install of lubuntu....the lubuntu channel is VERY quiet.
[04:06] <industry__> Jared1: sorry, GaryD, I should've been specific
[04:06] <Jared1> Oh, Sorry... :)
[04:07] <deww> RiCON: this should help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EnvironmentVariables
[04:07] <GaryD> industry_ get those errors when giving the sudo lxdmconf command in terminal.
[04:07] <thethinker> has anyone ever installed dreamweaver cs5 with wine?
[04:07] <M4d3L> where I copy Eclipse to be able to call it from command line?
[04:07] <folklore> lol thethinker
[04:07] <industry__> GaryD: lubuntu -- sorry, don't have much experience with that, I thought you were talking about xfce.
[04:07] <folklore> that's quite ambitious, I like that
[04:07] <zkirill> Can I create an ssh key for a system user?
[04:08] <mandriva> GaryD: can i get all the features of ubuntu in xubuntu ??
[04:08] <thethinker> folklore: whats funny?
[04:08] <_joey> how do get rid of the pesky sudo and have good old su instead?
[04:08] <C_Okie> hello
[04:08] <KM0201> _joey: it's not really supported here
[04:08] <KM0201> _joey: use your google-foo
[04:08] <GaryD> industry_: oh...nope, but have you gotten the lxdmconf to work in xfce?
[04:08] <_joey> shush
[04:08] <industry__> GaryD: ah, but wait, you're running it as root, from the command line. okay so what you're saying is you're trying to run xdmconf and you can't
[04:09] <guampa> _joey: ##linux
[04:09] <industry__> GaryD: as root, while you're logged in to a regular session
[04:09] <alyas404> a
[04:09] <C_Okie> if I uninstalled network manager becuase after entering a passcode for the key, it takes a long time and fials to connect, is there a way to download the network manager without a netwokr connection usiong sudo
[04:09] <RiCON> deww: changing /etc/environment is not working
[04:09] <C_Okie> *sudo apt-get install
[04:09] <GaryD> mandriva: i am using lubuntu...i have used xubuntu before and yes...i would say you can get just as much functionality out of it.
[04:09] <KM0201> C_Okie: i'm not 100% certain, but you might be able to install it from the CD
[04:10] <J381> shcherbak: I enabled both wireless and networking however still no dice
[04:10] <nobodyspecial> Okay, anyone else?
[04:11] <GaryD> industry_: yes. when i start lxdmconf from the menu it opens, but says that i am not root when i try to apply the changes....when i try to run it with the sudo command in terminal, i get some errors, and the program doesn't even open...
[04:11] <nobodyspecial> System seems to be running slower than normal.  No processes running over 10% CPU utilization regularly, no processes using over 65 MiB RAM
[04:12] <industry__> GaryD: try this one: do a "sudo su" followed by "lxdmconf"
[04:12] <industry__> GaryD: actually make that "sudo su -"
[04:12] <GaryD> industry_: same errors.
[04:12] <industry__> GaryD: what are these errors, exactly? That would help a lot.
[04:13] <thethinker> C_Okie: u mean install dremweaver from cd?
[04:13] <_joey> okay, that's better
[04:13] <C_Okie> huh
[04:13] <_joey> why would even someone think about breaking good old tradition
[04:13] <wqapol> nobodyspecial: You told its not new install, so you must have changed or installed something. Isn't it?
[04:13] <GaryD> industry_: i pasted them to you.
[04:13] <_joey> some kind of wanker i suppose
[04:13] <J381> shcherbak: ?
[04:13] <nobodyspecial> No didn't change or install anything
[04:14] <jigrap> what kernel do I have to install on ubuntu 10.10 to get it to recognize my i7 cpu
[04:14] <jigrap> right now it cpuinfo shows only 1 cpu
[04:14] <C_Okie> thethinker: not dreamweaver but network-manager
[04:14] <Jared1> I am running Ubuntu 10.04 off of a USB pen drive version of the live CD, because I can't install it on my broken hdd. I downloaded the Second Life Viewer 2.0 and it ran fine, but more recently it has been closing randomly. No error message is displayed, either. I ran 10.04 back when it came out, before my hdd messed up; and the same thing was happening. I specifically remember Audacity closing, along with Firefox and Google Chrome. I beli
[04:14] <deww> RiCON: hmm. this may be the proper way https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Locale (maybe the environment file is old or for something else)
[04:14] <C_Okie> so I can't connect I thought it would help but I am not sure why in ubuntu 10.04, I enter the passcode and it takes forever and then shows a red icon near the network icon
[04:15] <RiCON> deww: thank you
[04:16] <meltphace> is there any configuration required out of  box 10.10 to get radeon drivers working properly
[04:16] <nobodyspecial> So, given that nothing has been installed or settings changed, any clue why system is running slower lately?
[04:16] <industry__> GaryD: so it's trying to read the DESKTOP_SESSION enviroment variable but sudo doesn't set that when it goes to root, which is probably messing it up
[04:16] <C_Okie> hehe got it
[04:16] <meltphace> on debian you have to enable non-free and install firmware-nonfree or so
[04:16] <RiCON> deww: that worked
[04:16] <C_Okie> thanks
[04:16] <deww> cool :d
[04:16] <GaryD> industry_: oh...so is there a way to fix this?
[04:16] <jeeves__> has anyone here come accross VMWare not restarting after a reboot?  I'm getting "VMware Server Host Agent: failed"
[04:17] <J381> can someone help me?
[04:17] <nit-wit> J381, whats up
[04:17] <industry__> GaryD: give me a minute to find out what that variable does
[04:17] <GaryD> ok...thanks
[04:17] <mandriva> GaryD: which is lighter ? lubuntu or xubuntu or watt os
[04:17] <Jared1> Can someone help me?
[04:17] <jigrap> is it normal for ubuntu 10.10 not to see multiple cores?
[04:17] <J381> netgear router i cant get to connect via ubuntu
[04:18] <jigrap> like in an intel i7
[04:18] <alyas404> deww likes men!
[04:18] <C_Okie> is it just me or does ubuntu have a lotta errors
[04:18] <gabo> xD
[04:18] <nit-wit> J381, ethernet or wireless
[04:18] <J381> wireless
[04:18] <C_Okie> like network drivers competing
[04:18] <GaryD> mandriva: i haven't tried watt os, but lubuntu is lighter than xubuntu in my experience.
[04:18] <gabo> trust me its not only u xD
[04:18] <industry__> GaryD: okay, try one of these: "export DESKTOP_SESSION:lubuntu" then retry your sudo command
[04:19] <Jared1> C_Okie: It has some bugs, but once you get it running, it is FAR better than windows!
[04:19] <nobodyspecial> Would someone please help me?
[04:19] <Scarra3> Sup everyone
[04:19] <Jared1> how?
[04:19] <C_Okie> yeah
[04:19] <GaryD> industry_: run this command? export DESKTOP_SESSION:lubuntu
[04:20] <industry__> yeah
[04:20] <gabo> has someone applied the 200 lines patch with toching the kernel?
[04:20] <J381> nit-wit: what do i do
[04:20] <industry__> ah wait sorry, "export DESKTOP_SESSION=lubuntu"
[04:20] <industry__> equals sign not colon
[04:20] <nit-wit> J381, is that a usb antenna and a router
[04:21] <J381> what do you mean
[04:21] <GaryD> industry_: still the same
[04:21] <wrd> !offtopic |Scarra3
[04:21] <nit-wit> J381, is there a plugin to the computer that communicates to the router wirelessly
[04:22] <KM0201> wrd: id hardly consider saying "sup" offtopic.. take a xannax
[04:22] <industry__> so clearly then sudo does not inherit your environment (probably a good thing). instead you should do "sudo su" and in the root terminal, re-run that command, and see if at least the error doesn't change.
[04:22] <stealthc> join #transmission
[04:22] <nobodyspecial> How can I fix my issue?
[04:23] <Jared1> j381, He means do you use an antenna for your wireless or is it internal?
[04:23] <KM0201> industry__: why not use sudo -s ?  it does the same thing
[04:23] <J381> in my laptop its internal
[04:23] <GaryD> industry_: same errors
[04:23] <cha0s2358> KM0
[04:23] <GaryD> dang
[04:23] <cha0s2358> KM0201,  hey man you in here?
[04:23] <KM0201> cha0s2358: mentally... not physically.. :)
[04:24] <nobodyspecial> For some reason, and I just don't understand why, my computer isn't responding as quickly as it used to
[04:24] <C_Okie> i tried sudo apt-cdrom add but it says the cds not a debian cd when it is the linux cd that has the live boot and the installation boot
[04:24] <KM0201> J381: whats the wireless device you're having a problem w/?
[04:24] <cha0s2358> KM0201,  lol i have a problem and was wonder if you may be able to help.
[04:24] <nobodyspecial> I have not added software or changed settings
[04:24] <KM0201> cha0s2358: if i can.. more than happy to.
[04:24] <nobodyspecial> Does ANYONE have any advice as to what could be wrong?
[04:25] <industry__> i noticed that there was a quote mark missing in that error you showed me. is that intentional (is there no matching quote?) -- because it looks like someone mistyped something in the program
[04:25] <GaryD> nobody special: what is the problem exactly? how ole=d is the system? what system is it?
[04:25] <cha0s2358> KM0201, i tried to burn a 10.10 disc. it didnt work. so i used my 10.04 disc when setting up my dual boot. well i installed, tried to upgrade to 10.10
[04:25] <nobodyspecial> The problem is that I try to load programs and they load slower than they did
[04:25] <GaryD> industry_: where is the missing quote/
[04:25] <GaryD> ?
[04:25] <KM0201> cha0s2358: this sounds fun already
[04:26] <nobodyspecial> System is about 2 yrs old
[04:26] <Maahes> nobodyspecial: not with just that. I mean, you could be running more programs in the background, something that uses the disk a lot, an update may changed some behavior, you may have some hw error its working around and dealing with.
[04:26] <GaryD> nobodyspecial: they load slower than they did before what?. oh...
[04:26] <cha0s2358> KM0201,  it took over an hour went to installing packages and gave an error that the installation could not be completed because my sytem could be in a unstabale state and it quit the upgrade
[04:26] <nobodyspecial> Before now, Gary
[04:26] <Jared1> @nobodyspecial, What system is it specifically?
[04:27] <nobodyspecial> What do you mean what system?
[04:27] <KM0201> cha0s2358: and now the installed 10.04 is borked?
[04:27] <Maahes> nobodyspecial: First place to try is look at what you have running (htop / system-monitor) then check your logs.
[04:27] <industry__> scratch that last statement -- me not seeing that quote is what I get for setting my terminal font to Comic Sans
[04:27] <cha0s2358> no the 10.04 is fine but it wont upgrade and i dont know what to do
[04:27] <nobodyspecial> How do I check logs?
[04:27] <Jared1> What is your computers brand, and specs like amt of ram, processor speed, etc
[04:27] <nobodyspecial> eee 900A
[04:28] <nobodyspecial> I think 1 GB RAM
[04:28] <GaryD> lol
[04:28] <nobodyspecial> 1.6 GHz Atom
[04:28] <KM0201> cha0s2358: well, depending on how many blank CD's you have laying around... i believe you can use the Alt. Install CD, as a upgrade CD(although I have never done it)
[04:28] <Jared1> Are you running 10.10?
[04:28] <KM0201> so if you download/burn the alt. install cd for 10.10.... you should be able to upgrade 10.04 w/ it... *I THINK*
[04:28] <cha0s2358> KM0201,  out of cd's would have to get some tom
[04:28] <KM0201> !upgrade
[04:29] <GaryD> nobodyspecial: you may want to try bleachbit...use the bleachbit as root option in the menu after you install it. this will clean a lot of trash out of your system.
[04:29] <nobodyspecial> 10.04
[04:29] <KM0201> !alternate
[04:29] <KM0201> thats what i thought
[04:29] <industry__> well, that's odd, because the export command should definitely be setting that variable in your environment. The only other thing I can think of is trying "DESKTOP_SESSION=lubuntu; lxdmconf" from the root terminal
[04:29] <Jared1> ok, I'm looking into it
[04:29] <nobodyspecial> Not uch on the system to start with
[04:29] <industry__> but my knowledge of shell semantics isn't perfect
[04:29] <Jared1> Is it the only operating system on the hard drive?
[04:29] <GaryD> industry_: i think it is a problem with the python coding...?
[04:29] <KM0201> nobodyspecial: what problem are you having?
[04:30] <cha0s2358> KM0201,  ok so just download the alt cd .iso and burn it. then it will upgrade me to 10.10?
[04:30] <KM0201> cha0s2358: i've never upgraded w/ an alt. install cd, I just know it can be done.. i honestly don''t know the procedure for using it to upgrade
[04:30] <nobodyspecial> I open a program, and it loads slower than it used to, KM0201
[04:30] <GaryD> nobodyspecial: after 2 years the system is bound to have a full cache and who knows what other kind of stuff built up on it.
[04:30] <KM0201> nobodyspecial: oh ok.
[04:30] <Jared1> What program is it?
[04:31] <KM0201> who was having a wireless problem a few minutes ago?
[04:31] <cha0s2358> KM0201, oh ok, well i guess it will all have to wait till tomorrow anyway till i buy more cd's
[04:31] <nobodyspecial> Gary, that I reinstalled ubuntu a month ago...
[04:31] <cha0s2358> KM0201, thanks bro
[04:31] <nobodyspecial> Jared, any program
[04:31] <nobodyspecial> Firefox, Open office
[04:31] <KM0201> cha0s2358: yeah, i'm sure google would turn up some hits on the exact procedure, i've just never done it... but it should be a fairly safe/stable way to upgrade... i hope.. :)
[04:31] <nobodyspecial> All load slower than before
[04:32] <Jared1> Oh, ok... I was getting to what gary said, you should try to clear the cache
[04:32] <industry__> GaryD: nothing wrong with the python, just something wrong with the programmer's logic. it's pretty stupid to rely on an environment variable to start a program.
[04:32] <nobodyspecial> In a month, how would the cache get that full?
[04:32] <GaryD> maybe i can remove the call for the environment?
[04:33] <GaryD> nobodyspecial: openoffice and firefox both use a lot of resources. they clog a system fast.
[04:34] <C_Okie> ok either in the gui or in the console, when I try to add a cd repository it cannot mount the cd becuase it cannto find it why would this be
[04:34] <GaryD> industry_: if i remove the call for the environment will that work, or just break the program all together?
[04:34] <industry__> what's blowing my mind is that supposedly those commands set that environment variable, so why it still is doing the whole "keyerror" routine is boggling me
[04:34] <industry__> it probably relies on something from that variable so I wouldn't recommend it
[04:34] <nobodyspecial> Gary:  gtext also loads slower than it did
[04:34] <Jared1> any browser will gather information quickly, as will alot of email clients.
[04:35] <nobodyspecial> As does system monitor, or anything else
[04:35] <GaryD> industry_: i even logged out and changed the session through lxdm. still no good.
[04:35] <Jared1> You should try clearing the cache, but do it at your own risk.
[04:36] <Jared1> Personal opinion :)
[04:36] <industry__> hm, mind = blown on that one.
[04:36] <nobodyspecial> clear cache in what way?
[04:36] <GaryD> nobodyspecial: firefox holds a lot of info in the cache. i bet if you open your system monitor and look on the resources tab, you will see you are using a lot of memory. there an option to not show memory used by cache. if you enable that you will see what we are talking about.
[04:36] <Jared1> open terminal
[04:37] <GaryD> industry_: lol...thanks anyway. i will have to see if i get an update...before i file a bug.
[04:37] <nobodyspecial> how do I find how much the cache uses?
[04:38] <nobodyspecial> firefox, as a whole, uses under 60 MiB of RAM
[04:38] <nobodyspecial> That's with all processes checked
[04:38] <GaryD> nobodyspecial: open system monitor
[04:38] <nobodyspecial> It is open
[04:39] <GaryD> nobodyspecial: click on resources
[04:39] <nobodyspecial> okay
[04:39] <GaryD> nobodyspecial: look in the menu for something like "show cache as free"
[04:40] <nobodyspecial> Don't see it
[04:40] <nobodyspecial> Memory uses is 330 MiB total
[04:40] <nobodyspecial> 0 swap
[04:40] <GaryD> nobodyspecial: how much memory do you have total?
[04:41] <nobodyspecial> It lists it as 993.3 MiB
[04:41] <s5s> If i have an installed package let's say alpine can I apply a patch over it? manually?
[04:41] <nobodyspecial> So it's using 33.3%
[04:41] <GaryD> then i don't see why you should have a problem.
[04:41] <nobodyspecial> But I am
[04:42] <GaryD> check the processes.
[04:42] <nobodyspecial> Firefox uses the most resources
[04:42] <vcarney> Anybody know how to have Postfix send a copy of all outgoing mail to a separate email? Postfix does not handle any incoming mail for the domain?
[04:42] <nobodyspecial> at 58 MiB right now
[04:42] <AndChat-> What's using 33.3%?
[04:42] <GaryD> hmmm
[04:43] <nobodyspecial> That's total, AndChat-
[04:43] <AndChat-> Ah ok.
[04:43] <Jared1> nobodyspecial: try letting it get a good nights sleep and a good meal. If that doesn't work, give it the tech equivalent of a shot of espresso...
[04:44] <nobodyspecial> And yet, the system has been running slower than before for the last week or two
[04:44] <vcarney> I need to save a copy of all outgoing mail sent from Postfix which is generated by a web application? Is this possible?
[04:44] <nobodyspecial> jared1, The uptime on it is only about 2h30m
[04:44] <nobodyspecial> It hasn't been running for long
[04:45] <sacarlson> s5s: It seems not since it apears to be writen in C so it would require a compile to be patched. packages are just bins no source to compile there.
[04:45] <MK13> I am trying to change the directory transmission-daemon saves to to "/Shared/Downloads" I have changed the owner of /Shared to me and allow writing of Downloads to other users but transmission keeps saying access denied when trying to save. anything else i need to change?
[04:45] <AndChat-> How long have you had the system for?
[04:45] <nobodyspecial> Total?  2 yrs
[04:46] <nobodyspecial> Reinstalled everything about a month ago
[04:46] <AndChat-> Last update?
[04:46] <_joey> i9 am running ubuntu in vmware; I run 'sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove' to boot Ubunt in console; it reboots in GUI, however
[04:46] <_joey> what is wrong?
[04:46] <nobodyspecial> Started running slow about a week ago
[04:46] <AndChat-> So it ran fine for about two weeks?
[04:46] <nobodyspecial> Maybe 2
[04:46] <nobodyspecial> yep
[04:46] <s5s> sacarlson: Thank you. I though so. However, as far as I know apt-get source will get me the source and I should be able to apply the patch and compile and reinstall right?
[04:46] <Jared1> nobodyspecial: lol it was a joke... anyways, the only thing I can think of is clearing the cache. Do at your own risk: open terminal, then type "sudo -s" (without quotes) then type "# sync" and press enter, then " # echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"
[04:47] <nobodyspecial> it's still not running really slow
[04:47] <nobodyspecial> Just a little slower
[04:47] <GaryD> lol....oh my...
[04:47] <Jared1> all without quotes if you decide to do it
[04:47] <sacarlson> s5s: I guess that might work.  did you check to see if a ppa already exist before you go threw all that trouble
[04:47] <Bazz> ok, so i am trying to learn a computer language. What should be the first 1 i learn? I basicly want to be able to create and host a website, also build my own apps (like small games, and such)   best approach? I have no past exp at all. im almost 20yrs old. what can i do?
[04:47] <AndChat-> Should probably tell him the downfall to clearing the cache
[04:48] <GaryD> i say try bleachbit...in synaptic...it works.
[04:48] <industry__> I don't see how clearing the cache is dangerous. you're just syncing then flushing the synced entries.
[04:48] <nobodyspecial> Firefox is taking a couple seconds longer than before, and it's annoying me
[04:48] <s5s> sacarlson: what's a ppa?
[04:48] <industry__> Bazz: try Perl, Python, or PHP
[04:48] <AndChat-> Bazz, are you looking for ease of learning or usefulness?
[04:48] <_joey> it'd be nice if one of you suckers could answer my question
[04:49] <robotarmy> Bazz:  or ruby :D
[04:49] <Jared1> andchat: nobodyspecial: Like Industry said, there shouldn't be any real danger
[04:49] <sacarlson> !ppa s5s
[04:49] <Jared1> _joey, can I help?
[04:49] <Bazz> well, ease of learning, but i also want to be able to do alot.
[04:49] <robotarmy> Bazz: http://railsforzombies.org/
[04:49] <AndChat-> Joey, his system is running slow
[04:49] <_joey> Jared1: I am running ubuntu in vmware; I run 'sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove' to boot Ubuntu in console; it reboots in GUI, however
[04:49] <sacarlson> s5s: check out https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas
[04:50] <AndChat-> Bazz, java or python
[04:50] <s5s> sacarlson: thanks. I don't know why but my alpine doesn't accept the -subject option which other people seem to be using OK
[04:50] <industry__> Bazz, I suggest Python if this is the first language you've ever learned. it probably has the shallowest learning curve and the most uniform syntax.
[04:51] <_joey> and where is the bloody /etc/inittab on ubuntu?
[04:51] <robotarmy> Bazz:  javascript is also a good language
[04:51] <sl33k_> is there a shell cmd to block a website?
[04:51] <industry__> Not to mention that it's already installed on your system, just type "python" into a shell to fire it up
[04:51] <Jared1> _joey: I don't have much experience with vmware, but I wall try to help you as much as I can.
[04:51] <AndChat-> Robotarmy: for a first language?
[04:52] <Bazz> i guess ill go with python, i have installed it already, and downloaded the tk package. but where do i start?
[04:52] <robotarmy> AndChat-: I say that as someone who teaches programming for beginners
[04:52] <GaryD> nobodyspecial: i use lubuntu now, but i used to have ubuntu...i have 1gb ram. it got slow a lot. now with lubuntu my memory usage hardly rises above half of my ram. i have no problems. i actually didn't have too many problems with ubuntu, because i kept the system clean. it just got slow after a while of using it.
[04:52] <industry__> try here: http://docs.python.org/tutorial/
[04:52] <AndChat-> Bazz: Google
[04:52] <Poshepocket> Tinychat doesn't work with ubuntu for some weird reason. Well, my cam doesn't work.
[04:52] <_joey> Jared1: You can google if you want; I'd wait for you here
[04:52] <sl33k_> is there a shell cmd to block a website?
[04:52] <s5s> Bazz go for python. Perl is useful but I think very specialized and a bit advanced. C++ is extremely useful but is harder than python.
[04:53] <dearler> in 10.10 is there a way to bind the alsa master and LFE sound channels together and set PCM as the main volume control?
[04:53] <Jared1> _joey: to find etc/inittab, go to computer in the places menu, then click on file system
[04:53] <GaryD> sl33k: what do you mean "block a website"?
[04:53] <industry__> sl33k_: "block a website" is ambiguous
[04:53] <Bazz> industry__: thank you
[04:53] <Bazz> s5s: thank you
[04:53] <robotarmy> Bazz: try python as you will - but don't assume all languages are like python.
[04:53] <s5s> Bazz. You will also need to learn basic Bash if you are working on linux. Bash scripting is horrible for complex things but it can save you a lot of time for very simple tasks which you need to do daily.
[04:54] <wqapol> Can I make the prompt text in terminal (user@host:$) To be of some distinct color. I cant find any such setting in profile.
[04:54] <_joey> Jared1: root@ubuntu:~# find / -name inittab
[04:54] <AndChat-> Python is the red headed step child of languages
[04:54] <_joey> returns nothing
[04:54] <Bazz> robotarmy: i will not assume that, i just want to start with something. gets my feet wet, and go from there
[04:54] <sl33k_> industry__: i just want to block a site that eats a lot of my time, can it?
[04:54] <sl33k_> i have heard it can be
[04:54] <sacarlson> s5s: I see at least 3 versions of alpine in ppa at https://launchpad.net/~smoser/+archive/ppa  and more hits in the first search
[04:54] <Jared1> nothing?
[04:55] <Bazz> s5s: Bash? ok, thank you
[04:55] <_joey> yes, no thing
[04:55] <C_Okie> how can I tell which network manager deb version I can download from a separate computer that'll work for 10.04
[04:55] <robotarmy> Bazz: good luck - and if you get bogged down - try http://railsforzombies.org/ - for websites and for game backends.
[04:55] <C_Okie> I get glib > 0.06 dependency error with the latest
[04:55] <industry__> sl33k_: so, a regular website that you yourself visit? well, you could deny outgoing connections to it in your firewall i guess
[04:55] <AndChat-> Bash is the Linux scripting language
[04:55] <Jared1> _joey: It looks like it has been replaced, and I am searching for what it has become
[04:55] <sacarlson> s5s: I don't know what version your option is in
[04:55] <GaryD> sl33k: just block it in your browser preferences.
[04:56] <industry__> oh yeah that works too
[04:56] <Bazz> robotarmy: im deff going to checkout the railsforzombies site. thank you
[04:56] <C_Okie> does ubuntu wikis tell which version of network manager comes with  10.04
[04:56] <GaryD> sl33k: another alternative...use restraint and self-control
[04:56] <Bazz> Andchat: thank you
[04:56] <sl33k_> industry__: ya
[04:56] <rooroo_> hello
[04:56] <_joey> AndChat-: Korn shell owns everyone
[04:56] <sl33k_> i dont use firewall, is it recommended industry__?
[04:56] <_joey> csh is dead
[04:57] <industry__> yes you do, it's called netfilter
[04:58] <s5s> sacarlson: how can I get the latest build?
[04:58] <industry__> well, netfilter/iptables/ufw
[04:58] <Jared1> try here: /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf
[04:58] <GaryD> sl33k: you can log in to your router and set it to block the site.
[04:58] <definity> hey guys whats up
[04:58] <definity> i need some help
[04:58] <GaryD> sup definity
[04:58] <definity> for some reason my gnome has stoped working and i can only work in terminal
[04:58] <s5s> !tell definity -about ask
[04:59] <dearler> is there a way to change which volume control your media keys/front panel buttons control in 10.10? Currently it's set to the Alsa master channel but I need it to be the PCM channel
[04:59] <GaryD> ubotto: thank you for that info...:)
[04:59] <definity> Hey GaryD
[04:59] <s5s> definity: Are we supposted to guess the reason based on no information?
[04:59] <GaryD> definity: hey...what did you do last before this happened?
[05:00] <definity> hahahah yeah your right sorry, total n00b question soz for that s5s.
[05:00] <Jared1> ubottu: Are you of any intelligence, or just a moderator? XD
[05:00] <Jared1> Ubottu: x
[05:00] <definity> well basically i installed a theame that was KDE but the i realised it was a Gnome window manager i was using
[05:00] <definity> now i cant get into a gui eviroment
[05:00] <sacarlson> s5s: I don't know what the latist build is I guess pick the bigist number in ppa?
[05:00] <Jared1> _joey: you still here?
[05:00] <definity> enviroment*
[05:00] <nairanvac> Hey, guys.  What's a good way to make a back-up image of my entire drive?  I just want an image that can be stored on my external drive and able to be restored later.
[05:01] <Jared1> nairanvac: hang on a minute
[05:01] <C_Okie> anyone mind helping me
[05:01] <industry__> nairanvac: try rsync or duplicity.
[05:01] <s5s> sacarlson: yes indeed. It's 2.02. I found it. What's a ppa in short?
[05:02] <definity> ahhhh, is there any way i can scroll up on terminal, i just saw an idea from Ubuntu-Bot but its gone now
[05:02] <nairanvac> industry__: Thanks, I'll take a look at those
[05:02] <bastidrazor> definity: shift pgup
[05:02] <s5s> definity: .bash_history should allow you to reverse your commands.
[05:02] <definity> thanks dude!!
[05:02] <geekosopher> nairanvac: also have a look at 'man dd'
[05:03] <soreau> How can I re-enable the icons for the System menu?
[05:03] <sacarlson> s5s: Personal Package Archives for Ubuntu,  it's  were people make there own versions of packages that they publish for people to try
[05:03] <C_Okie> My computer wont let me mount to the live cd to install network-manager ; I am doing this because I haven't got a connection( i think it needs dependencies from online ) but I
[05:03] <nairanvac> geekosopher: Oh, yeah, I forgot about dd.  That's actually exactly what I need
[05:03] <apapousek> Just a quick gnome-terminal question. Is there any way to configure terminal to play a sound on exit. If not directly, if there a way to have it run a command on exit?
[05:03] <industry__> yeah, dd works too, if you want a bit-for-bit image
[05:04] <_joey> Jared1: yes
[05:04] <geekosopher> nairanvac: be carefull with what you give in of= for dd, or else it may wipe out your external drive
[05:04] <Jared1> ok, so try /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf
[05:04] <industry__> unless you want your external drive to be a bit-for-bit copy of your current one.
[05:05] <nairanvac> industry__: Yeah, that's pretty much what I'm looking for.  I'm planning on wiping my current installation of Eeebuntu in order to try out Ubuntu 10.10 and some other things, and I just want to be able to to wipe my drive and restore my back-up if I need to revert for any reason.
[05:05] <sacarlson> s5s: if you licked that patch you added to alpine you could package it and distribute your package for others to try.  later if enuf people liked it then it would become a part of the ubuntu distrubution
[05:05] <mandriva> is there any stable derivative of ubuntu
[05:05] <nairanvac> Nah, ideally I'd just have an image file on my drive that I could restore
[05:05] <industry__> mandriva: ubuntu is pretty stable.
[05:05] <apapousek> @mandriva , kubuntu, xubuntu etc etc
[05:05] <apapousek> also, linux mint is pretty nice
[05:06] <s5s> sacarlson: That's a neat idea. Thanks
[05:07] <GaryD> mandriva: try lubuntu first...if you don't have very many resources...if you have a lot of resources, try ubuntu first...if you like, try linux mint. it is very nice and is based off of ubuntu.
[05:08] <nairanvac> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXqPEqSsBuQ  Anybody else watching the WEC event?  Even if you're not into MMA, this is incredible.  The guy hits a flying round kick after rebounding off the cage
[05:09] <KM0201> nairanvac: not really sure how thats ontopic here.. but i love that video
[05:09] <Lanlost> 'ello
[05:09] <Lanlost> Can someone help me set up tethering? "ip masquerading" I believe.
[05:09] <nairanvac> KM0201: It's entirely off-topic, but I feel it's worth the digression
[05:09] <KM0201> lol
[05:10] <Lanlost> I want to download a game to my 360 (xbox live arcade). I got the points and everything from the store. I totally forgot my 360 doesn't have wireless (just got it out of the pawn shop from a year ago)
[05:10] <Lanlost> so.. I need an internet connection. I don't need a cross over cable with the 360
[05:10] <kieppie> hi guys. if a user *absolutely must* install a GUI on a server, what is the better/best lightweight win-manager?
[05:10] <apapousek> You don't need a crossover cable, Lanlost
[05:10] <Lanlost> you see.. I can do internet connection sharing FINE in Windows when I've had it. I used to think Windows was a pain to get internet connection sharing to work
[05:10] <Lanlost> but... it may be the ONE thing I know of that seems to work better
[05:10] <nairanvac> kieppie: I'd say XFCE right offhand
[05:10] <Lanlost> I used to not have a problem with it in linux
[05:10] <industry__> kieppie: dwm
[05:11] <nairanvac> kieppie: Though fluxbox is really light, too
[05:11] <Lanlost> but EVERY time for the last 2-3 years that I've attempted it.. I've ended up screwing my ip tables somehow
[05:11] <apapousek> also, internet sharing is really easy in Ubuntu; once you get the hang of it
[05:11] <Lanlost> to where I have to flush them every boot
[05:11] <Lanlost> and.. the internet connection sharing never works.. to boot
[05:11] <Lanlost> oh my go
[05:11] <Lanlost> d
[05:11] <Lanlost> if you can tell me how.. I will seriously love you forever
[05:11] <Lanlost> thats no joke
[05:11] <FloodBot1> Lanlost: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:11] <GaryD> kieppie: you could try webmin...it allows you to configure all parts of your server in a web browser.
[05:11] <Lanlost> IVE GOTTA FLOOD. I could get internet here Floodbot!!1
[05:11] <kieppie> thanks guys. I'm considering XFCE or flux, but ned to weight up options
[05:12] <apapousek> @Lanlost http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html
[05:12] <kieppie> I'm already using webmin )
[05:12] <kieppie> :)
[05:12] <GaryD> kieppe: and if you absolutely, must have a window manager, jsut use openbox.
[05:12] <KM0201> kieppie: have you considered looking at lxde?.. it's better than both IMO.
[05:12] <kieppie> thnx
[05:12]  * KM0201 <3's openbox... Crunchbang, for the win!
[05:12] <Lanlost> fyi, apapousek. I'll be sharing my wireless (from wifi) using ethernet.. that will be ok?
[05:12] <industry__> kieppie: no wait, twm
[05:13] <nlsthzn> hi, using 10.04 on USB (persistant) @ work but connected to net via proxy, is it possible to set up to use proxy to update the distro?
[05:13] <GaryD> kieppe: lxde is great, i use it for my server....i only recommend openbox as the lightest option there is.
[05:13] <apapousek> Lanlost , yes that will work. Just be sure to input the correct interfaces
[05:14] <kieppie> sweet. as far as I can tell, they need little more than a browser & file-manager
[05:14] <kieppie> but looking nice
[05:14] <Lanlost> where ethX is the network card and ip is your desired server ip address (Usually <IP_ADDRESS> is used)
[05:14] <Lanlost> ack
[05:15] <GaryD> i heard those "what!? install a gui on the server? WHY!" thoughts some of you had...lol
[05:15] <apapousek> Lanlost, yes
[05:15] <Lanlost> ifconfig ethX ip: where ethX is the network card and ip is your desired server IP. Ok. That's fine. But then two lines down they say ethX is the source of the internet..
[05:15] <Lanlost> so..
[05:15] <GaryD> espn...gotta love it....i mean...esp
[05:15] <pavanai> how to burn .img files?
[05:15] <Lanlost> I'm sharing to my xbox over eth0 and my source is usb0
[05:15] <apapousek> No, you replace the X in ethX with a number
[05:15] <Lanlost> I know, it's just dumb that they don't specify which one
[05:16] <Lanlost> I mean they should have like ethX - small 1
[05:16] <GaryD> pavanai: brasero, gnomebaker, xfburn...
[05:16] <apapousek> @ Lanlost, there are million of hardware configuration, don't think that yours is special
[05:16] <Lanlost> and then ethX - small 2 to designate that they are two separate sources.
[05:16] <Lanlost> I don't think that mine is special..
[05:16] <pavanai> brasero isnt workin
[05:16] <KM0201> pavanai: cuz it sucks, use gnomebaker
[05:16] <apapousek> @ pavanai, or you could use dd if=/imagefile.img of=/dev/burnger
[05:16] <nairanvac> So, if I were to use dd to make an image of my drive, and output it to my external drive, I would just do "dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdc1/netbook.backup"?
[05:16] <pavanai> wt it does?
[05:16] <GaryD> pavanai: on ubuntu?
[05:16] <pavanai> ya
[05:17] <pavanai> 10.04
[05:17] <KM0201> brasero is for burning cd's.. it sucks, use gnomebaker
[05:17] <GaryD> gnomebaker
[05:17] <Lanlost> apapousek, since doing this the last 2-3 times has completely screwed my entire networking setup I just wanna do it right the first time
[05:17] <Lanlost> This isn't something over my head.. I'm just being unusually careful because of past bad experiences
[05:17] <industry__> nairanvac: no. find out where /dev/sdc1 is mounted, then write the file to there
[05:17] <industry__> for that i suggest usage of the "mount
[05:18] <industry__>  command. and not prematurely pressing enter while typing.
[05:18] <apapousek> Lanlost , where it says input, put your device input, where it says IP, put your ip address (can be found using ifconfig)
[05:18] <apapousek> and where is says output, put your output
[05:18] <pavanai> GaryD:brasero dont support .img files
[05:18] <nairanvac> industry__: So, like so:  "dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/media/FreeAgent/netbook.backup"
[05:18] <netbeast_> lol figured out how to fix camera
[05:18] <Lanlost> that's not what the guide says
[05:19] <Lanlost> it says ip is your DESIRED ip
[05:19] <f_niten`> Hey guys...is there a way to force apt to install a package without asking any questions?  Even config questions?
[05:19] <Lanlost> I think you are missing what I am asking here
[05:19] <apapousek> then put your desired IP addrss
[05:19] <Lanlost> it's fine. I'll just use another guide. I know these commands
[05:19] <apapousek> and Lanlost, this guide works fine
[05:19] <KM0201_> woops, looks like i forgot to stop xchat when i restarted x...lol
[05:19] <industry__> nairanvac: correct.
[05:19] <makulkar> I'm trying to reinstall GRUB using disk ubuntu 10.04 disk. I had installed ubuntu from windows. What options should I select in manual partition for disk mount point?
[05:19] <Lanlost> I just dont like how they use "ethx" for both input and output
[05:19] <Lanlost> I realize you replace the X with the correct one..
[05:19] <GaryD> f_niten: sudo apt-get install -y packagename
[05:20] <apapousek> @ makulker, are you just wanting to reinstall grub?
[05:20] <Lanlost> Start by configuring the network card  that interfaces to the other computers on you network
[05:20] <Lanlost> ok THATS the part I didn't see
[05:20] <Lanlost> this whole thing makes sense now
[05:20] <Lanlost> damn ad that popped up
[05:20] <pavanai> i cant install any pkgs....it says broken
[05:20] <apapousek> @Lanlost, hope it works out now
[05:20] <f_niten`> GaryD: But it still asks more advanced questions
[05:20] <GaryD> f_niten: i dont think you can pass up things like license agrements, passwords being set...
[05:20] <f_niten`> I'm trying to install libpam-ldap, and it asks about servernames and stuff
[05:21] <mandriva> industry_: where can i download cd for offline repositories of ubuntu 10.10?
[05:21] <f_niten`> I just wanna copy a config in afterwards
[05:21] <f_niten`> Hmm...
[05:21] <Lanlost> oh my god
[05:21] <sacarlson> Lanlost: seems all you need is to setup a network bridge,  I'm not sure how since it seems you use a usb hub to connect your two boxes?
[05:21] <GaryD> f_niten: hmmm.....don't know about ldap...sorry
[05:21] <makulkar> I get /dev/sda1 ntfs as option for manualy partition. But I get "No root file system defined" error
[05:21] <Lanlost> Then configure the NAT as follows:  # iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ethX -j MASQUERADE
[05:22] <nairanvac> industry__: Sweet!  Thanks a lot for the help.  And if/when I need to restore it, I just reformat my drive, then boot into a live session, and do "dd if=/media/FreeAgent/netbook.backup of=/dev/sda1"?
[05:22] <Lanlost> ... then they put "where ethX is the network card that the Internet is coming from" below that
[05:22] <f_niten`> How about passing input to apt?  Beyond 'y'?  Could I cat a file and pass that?
[05:22] <Lanlost> so great. I just did eth0 again.. which is the one that connects the two together
[05:22] <f_niten`> So hacky, though...
[05:22] <definity> Hey!, i tryed the stuff Ubuntu bot says but it did not work. I think that i need to reinstall Gnome or KDE which ever is easyier. What do you guys think?
[05:22] <industry__> nairanvac: yep.
[05:22] <Lanlost> I meant to do usb.. how do I undo the "iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE" line
[05:22] <apapousek> @ definity , which installation disc do you have
[05:22] <GaryD> anyone want to give my lxdmconf problem a shot again?
[05:23] <nairanvac> industry__: Awesome, thanks a lot, yet again
[05:23] <GaryD> definity: try reinstalling gdm
[05:23] <apapousek> Lanlost, what is the name of the network interface thats connection to the rest of your network?
[05:23] <definity> oh no instalation disc, i jsut downloaded the immage from the Ubuntu website, and installed it of USB pen
[05:23] <definity> i have the latest version
[05:23] <Lanlost> sarcarlson, My wireless card is rt2500 (thats the module). The drivers are HORRIBLE and have been for at least 5 years. It does this thing where you connect, you get INCREDIBLE speeds.. lets say 800kbps. Then anywhere from 5seconds to 2 minutes later.. it drops to around 30kbps
[05:23] <apapousek> Okay, is it Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[05:23] <palam> where do i find checksums for the desktop downloads?
[05:23] <IdleOne> !hashes
[05:23] <rww> !md5sums
[05:23] <Lanlost> even though it still says its got a 52mbps connection or whatever. The second you reconnect. BAM it's great speed again.
[05:24] <palam> thanks guys
