[16:41] <Mech0z> but want to transfer the data from those drives to linux
[16:41] <KM0201> good lord
[16:41] <KM0201> 5, 1tb?
[16:41] <KM0201> you must look at a lot of internet porn
[16:41] <Mech0z> lol
[16:42] <Trevor69420> i have 16 x 1TB drives
[16:42] <Trevor69420> in RAID 10 though
[16:42] <Somelauw> Just noisy actually. Speed is not a problem.
[16:42] <Mech0z> so you get 8 disks space?
[16:43] <raidmaster> Somelauw what DE are you using. Xfce, Gnome, Unity?
[16:43] <Somelauw> Maybe it is an improvement against the heat.
[16:43] <Trevor69420> 8 disks space?
[16:43] <Trevor69420> you mean 8 TB of disk space
[16:43] <Trevor69420> yes
[16:44] <Mech0z> isnt raid10 8 disks with 8 disks redudency?
[16:44] <Trevor69420> RAID 10 can be however many disks u use
[16:44] <raidmaster> Somelauw install the Gnome tool Disk Utility and then go into SMART data. Will tell you if your disk is happy
[16:44] <Somelauw> raidmaster: okay
[16:44] <Trevor69420> if you have 20 disks in RAID 10 the stripes is across 10 of them
[16:44] <Trevor69420> in RAID 10 you need an even number of disks
[16:44] <Mech0z> yes
[16:44] <Mech0z> what I meant
[16:44] <Trevor69420> your space is half the total number cuz it's striped and mirrored
[16:44] <Mech0z> same as raid1 just with the speed of raid0
[16:45] <Trevor69420> well no
[16:45] <Trevor69420> RAID 1 is fault tolerent
[16:45] <Trevor69420> RAID 0 is not
[16:45] <BattlestarB> i installed chromium through application center but it is v 17, why is that?
[16:45] <Trevor69420> RAID 5 is just eh in my opinion
[16:45] <Mech0z> you get the speed from raid0 and the redundency from raid1
[16:45] <Mech0z> ?
[16:45] <Trevor69420> when something goes wrong with RAID 5 it can be a pain to fix
[16:45] <raidmaster> Trevor69420 10 really means RAID 1 and RAID 0.
[16:45] <Mech0z> dont raid5 fix itself?
[16:45] <Mech0z> if you just replace the drive
[16:46] <Trevor69420> i get the striping of RAID 0 and the redundancy of RAID 1
[16:46] <Trevor69420> yes I know raidmaster
[16:46] <BattlestarB> i installed chromium through application center but it is v 17, why is that?
[16:46] <raidmaster> Trevor69420 yes
[16:46] <Trevor69420> it's RAID 1+0 i was answering Mech0z's quesstion
[16:46] <Dante> Hey everyone I'm facing one of the weird and difficult to solve problems on my short ubuntu life, its about my internet connection on ubuntu 10.4, a wired connection, that works perfectly with the same hardware in windows, but in ubuntu its messy. I have lots of info about my system here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1932983 just hoping there is someone able to tackle this one... and help me out
[16:46] <roknir> i had my desktop icons hidden with /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop=false before upgrading to 11.10.  after upgrading, i want to see my desktop icons again, but /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop=true doesn't work.  how can i re-enable my desktop icons and the right click menu?
[16:47] <Trevor69420> well yes Mech0z RAID 5 is self fixing but it's not as flexible as RAID 1 and it sufferes for major performance issues when degraded
[16:47] <Trevor69420> it's also not cost effective when dealing with write intensive applications
[16:47] <SubjectOne> ah crap, can you repeat your last sentence to me plz
[16:47] <_Marcus> BattlestarB: Try getting it from the Chromium website
[16:47] <Trevor69420> i also think RAID 5 is slower than RAID 10 at least in reading
[16:48] <Trevor69420> but the write speed varies based on controller
[16:49] <Trevor69420> all RAID has it's downsides
[16:49] <compdoc> Trevor69420, raid 5 can be very fast - all depends on the controller
[16:49] <Trevor69420> but i think RAID 10 has the least downsides
[16:49] <_Marcus> !ot | All of your discussing RAID(5 > all)
[16:49] <Trevor69420> that's what i said compdoc
[16:49] <_Marcus> !ot
[16:50] <raidmaster> Dante I am guessing you have a Realtek chip? Test with lspci | grep --color Realtek
[16:50] <Dante> raidmaster: yes, its a realtek
[16:51] <roknir> does anyone know how to hide/show desktop icons in 11.10?
[16:52] <raidmaster> Dante I'm on Debian atm but to get them work right you need to install firmware-realtek
[16:53] <raidmaster> Dante personally I hate Realtek for using binary blobs.
[16:53] <Dante> raidmaster: did u checked the post I made on the latest link, there is a lot of info on the commands I run. How can I install that firmware-realtek?
[16:53] <raidmaster> Dante no Ill take a look at it now.

[16:58] <Girffe> Hey, I want to make a keyboard shortcut that types a special character when I use it
[16:58] <Girffe> is this possible with the keyboard shotcut menu in ubuntu?
[16:58] <Halexander9000> Greeting gentlehumans! I'm desperately trying to make sense of things here. I have this .ogv file that uploads and plays without a problem in youtube. Because it's recorded with RecordMyDesktop, with absolutely no editing done. Now, I want to edit said file. Surprize, surprize, OpenShot video editor can't even play the file without video errors, much less export it into a similar or different format without the same video errors. I tried to convert
[17:01] <raidmaster> Dante looking at your eth0 it is obvious your router is acting as gateway. Is this cmd giving you the IP to your router too cat /etc/resolv.conf
[17:02] <raidmaster> Dante and thus acting calling your DNS stuff
[17:02] <Krissed> Hi guys. Having permissions problem. Ive got a MAC formated hdd connected via usb. I need to delete files from it (im in livecd mode ubuntu) how do i take ownership of the entire hdd ?
[17:02] <Dante> raidmaster: yes it gives me the ip of my router
[17:03] <Dante> raidmaster: I actually tried to set up OpenDNS, instead of my router IP in there, because I found it weird, but it didn't solve the problem
[17:03] <Dante> raidmaster: I did it with gnome-netowrk-admin
[17:03] <mmcji> how do i find the package version a .deb is built from.  i.e. not the ubuntu package version name, but the original source package revision?
[17:03] <raidmaster> Dante one thing you can do is try plugging your computer right into your wall and see if it works. Could be your router has issues with ipv6
[17:04] <raidmaster> Dante if your computer does work when by passing the router disable ipv6 (I do this any way for speed and privacy)
[17:05] <Dante> raidmaster: my broadband company gave me this modified router, it acts as a modem dialing by itself
[17:05] <Andrew131> How can I go back one version on the kernel?  I want to use 3.0.0-15 not 3.0.0-16
[17:05] <Dante> raidmaster: so I can not connect without the router
[17:06] <raidmaster> Dante ahh man.  OK. The Maxim Transfer Units look OK at 1500. Looking
[17:06] <Dante> raidmaster: I would disable IPv6 anyway, I have went to edit connection in gnome-network-admin, and then edited the eth0 connection, in the IPv6 option I have set Ignore
[17:06] <Halexander9000> Help please?
[17:07] <Dante> raidmaster: thanks in advance by your help, other guys just tryed to help me and they couldn't...
[17:07] <raidmaster> Dante a good way to disable IPv6 is /etc/sysctl.conf
[17:07] <raidmaster> then add this
[17:08] <raidmaster> net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1
[17:09] <Dante> raidmaster: everything in that file is commented,
[17:09] <raidmaster> Yeah just add the line on the bottom
[17:09] <Dante> oks
[17:10] <Dante> raidmaster: should I restart something?
[17:11] <raidmaster> Dante yeah
[17:11] <raidmaster> Dante there are cmds to do it but its faster and surer to just reboot.
[17:11] <gmachine_24> I can't run  "jar"  - I get jar: command not found. I need to run "jar". Thx.
[17:12] <Dante> raidmaster: rebooting :), I'm connected here from my laptop

[17:13] <Halexander9000> I tried to convert it using this guy's tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChgTqsZM6UM . Same result. Then I tried this guy http://www.markandey.com/2010/09/how-to-fix-ogv-file-to-upload-on.html . Exactly the same video errors. Those same tetris pieces of scrambled video data covering the text and edges of objects contained within the video. I really need some advice on how to convert it properly. Help please?

[17:13] <Halexander9000> How about now?
[17:14] <grex25> Try Kdenlive ;)
[17:14] <Kus> I have a network-manager issue.
[17:14] <Kus> In the manager i can't find my ip on 11.10, but on my other laptop with 10.10 I get it.
[17:15] <raidmaster> Halexander9000 OpenShot is a joke. Try Kdenlive.
[17:15] <grex25> Kus open a terminal and type: ifconfig
[17:15] <gmachine_24> Kus - can't you just click on "Connection Information" ??
[17:15] <raidmaster> Halexander9000 made a video that I put on youtube that should help you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0IDV6r-bCI
[17:16] <Kus> grex25: gmachine_24, it can connect to other wifi networks, but not to mine.
[17:16] <raidmaster> Halexander9000 I am a dev on ffmpeg
[17:16] <gmachine_24> Kus, oh.
[17:16] <Halexander9000> Hold on. Ffmpeg won't work.
[17:16] <Halexander9000> That first guy used it as part of his script.
[17:17] <raidmaster> Halexander9000 I wrote an automagic script that will compile and install ffmpeg from git. x264 and well everything.
[17:18] <Krissed> Anyone familiar with issues regarding macOS formated HDD which i cant optain write permissions to ?
[17:18] <raidmaster> Halexander9000 here is the script http://pastebin.com/uHZx6wJR
[17:18] <Halexander9000> Raidmaster, I already have ffmpeg on my computer.
[17:18] <Halexander9000> All I'm saying is that it's output is full of video errors.
[17:19] <grex25> Kus: Did you try to reset your router? Also delete your connection details
[17:19] <yassine> moe.Yassine
[17:19] <onryo> Halexander9000 not sure how the Ubuntu repos bundle ffmpeg. Do you have x264 and all the stuff around?
[17:19] <lorrien3> dasd
[17:19] <Halexander9000> Do you understand me, onryo.
[17:20] <Halexander9000> I don't know what you're talking about.
[17:20] <onryo> Halexander9000 just tell me what you want to do. Ill give you the cmd
[17:21] <Halexander9000> I'm trying to remove a faulty ppa entry. What's the opposite of this command? sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name
[17:21] <kk23> i try to install linux and appear a message disk is not readable how to fix it without loss data?
[17:22] <Pici> Halexander9000: remove the offending file from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[17:22] <grex25> Halexander9000: You can remove it via Ubuntu Software Center
[17:22] <Halexander9000> Pici: Your command was wrong.
[17:22] <Dante> raidmaster is still not working properly
[17:23] <onryo> Halexander9000 go into /etc/apt/sources.list and remove the ppl. Make sure there is nothing there about his ppl in in .list.d too
[17:23] <onryo> Halexander9000 then do a sudo update
[17:23] <Halexander9000> There is no .list.d file
[17:23] <Pici> Halexander9000: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ is a directory, not a file.
[17:23] <Halexander9000> Gedit says it's a directory.
[17:24] <onryo> Halexander9000 good. But first I would do a apt-get remove --purge crap-program
[17:24] <Pici> Halexander9000: And each time you use add-apt-repository, it creates a new file for that repo.
[17:24] <Halexander9000> It's try Ubuntu Software Center.
[17:24] <Halexander9000> I see Pici. Sorry for the missunderstanding.
[17:25] <Halexander9000> Alright.
[17:26] <Halexander9000> So, I'll see what Kdenlive can do.
[17:26] <onryo> Halexander9000 then a apt-get moo
[17:26] <benbloom_> why would Phonon suddenly show "PulseAudio Sound Server" as the only output option in kubuntu? I had everything configured perfectly (multiple output devices), and now it's just switched all devices to P.A.S.S., and gives no other options
[17:26] <Halexander9000> Onryo, I removed the offending ppa using Ubuntu Software Center.
[17:27] <Tostada> theadmin I've been messing around with that grep command that you pasted for me. This is the result. I get about 20 of these with various locations:  /etc/blkid.tab: No such file or directory
[17:27] <onryo> Halexander9000 OK I was thinking you would purge everything but sure that works.
[17:27] <jtrucks> how do you update to a new maintenance release? (i.e. I'm on 10.04.3 and want to update to 10.04.4?)
[17:28] <Tostada> about 5 of these: /lib/init/rw/sdp: No such device or address
[17:28] <zee> Hi, I need help on Ubunto. Anyone could help me?
[17:28] <Halexander9000> onryo: I didn't want to purge everything. I still have other entries in there that I don't know if it's such a good thing to remove. But I know this, the one I wanted to remove caused errors. No errors now.
[17:28] <Tostada> and a couple like this: /dev/nvidia0: Invalid argument
[17:28] <onryo> zee sure the magic is apt-get moo
[17:29] <onryo> Halexander9000 OK.
[17:30] <onryo> Halexander9000 if you want to convert a file just do this ffmpeg -i moviein.ave -acoded copy -vcodec copy moiveOut.mkv. Of course the in does not need to be avi and the out mkv
[17:30] <bitboy> my friends mac has gesture recognition on his touchpad, im using ubuntu on a toshiba from 2009. can i do two finger scrolling and such
[17:31] <onryo> Halexander9000 file -> movie I should say
[17:31] <danileigh79> bitboy: only if the touchpad itself has multi touch
[17:31] <bitboy> danileigh79: how can i check for that?
[17:32] <danileigh79> bitboy: what model tosiba?
[17:32] <danileigh79> bitboy: toshiba
[17:32] <onryo> Dante you still there? Was wondering if the ipv6 thing I gave  you worked?
[17:32] <bitboy> Satellite L505D-S5965
[17:32] <bitboy> danileigh79:
[17:33] <danileigh79> bitboy: lemme check, brb
[17:33] <Dante> onryo wow you canged your nick, I thought you have left, well not actually still showing problems
[17:33] <Dante> onryo: wow you canged your nick, I thought you have left, well not actually still showing problems
[17:33] <Halexander9000> onryo: Listen please. I tried to use this guy's tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChgTqsZM6UM because he made a script for nautilus that as far as I understand does the same thing you said using a nice little interface automatically for me. It garbles me video data. Not beyond recognition, but it's unbearable to watch.
[17:33] <onryo> Dante yeah I am known by most as Onryo
[17:34] <danileigh79> bitboy: No, it's not multi-touch, sorry
[17:34] <onryo> Dante so the addition of net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf fixed the problem?
[17:35] <bitboy> danileigh79: okay bummer thanks so much for your help
[17:35] <danileigh79> bitboy: no prob
[17:35] <hgggggg> HI
[17:36] <onryo> Dante was thinking that if there is still any issue we could change your DNS resolving so you are not at the mercy of your ISP.

[17:37] <Dante> onryo: what would be the best way to set that up
[17:37] <Halexander9000> Fatal Error MLT's SDL module not found. Please check your MLT install.
[17:37] <Dante> onryo: I'm up to use opendns or anything
[17:37] <Halexander9000> Kdenlive will not work until this issue is fixed.
[17:38] <Halexander9000> What's that and how can I fix it?
[17:38] <Dante> onryo: if the problem is the dns, shouldn't direct ip connection work perfectly without hessitation? what about if I try that?
[17:38] <onryo> Dante yes you are correct that an IP should work perfectly since you are not doing a look up then.
[17:39] <onryo> Dante I am guessing you are still having problems with your Internet?
[17:40] <shade34321> I was wondering if anybody could tell me what /var/log/consoles is for?
[17:40] <Dante> onryo: yhea, the same behaviour when browsing, 1 of 4 or 5 requests works, and then it works for a few seconds again
[17:40] <Yozap> Hello, can anyone recommend a good C/C++ editor?
[17:40] <shade34321> and what should I do if it's it taking up most of my /var space
[17:41] <cemycc> ? clone
[17:41] <onryo> Dante try installing wireshark and see what is going on.
[17:41] <cemycc> !clone
[17:42] <cemycc> !automate
[17:42] <onryo> Dante there is that nightmare junk that Ubuntu uses with mDNS that your router might not like. Avahi
[17:42] <zykotick9> SubjectOne: the && isn't going to work like you want.  Try "gnome-terminal .... -e wmctrl ..."
[17:43] <Dante> onryo: sudo apt-get install wireshark?
[17:43] <SubjectOne> -e ?
[17:43] <onryo> Dante yup
[17:43] <SubjectOne> j
[17:43] <onryo> Dante then pick eth0 when it starts up and you can see every little packet etc.
[17:44] <SubjectOne> hmm, zykotick9, nope won't work
[17:44] <Halexander9000> onryo: Ok, I installed Kdenlive from USC. This is the error message I get when I run it.
[17:44] <SubjectOne> ; || && won't work
[17:44] <Halexander9000> onryo: Fatal Error MLT's SDL module not found. Please check your MLT install.
[17:44] <Halexander9000> onryo: Kdenlive will not work until this issue is fixed.
[17:44] <SubjectOne> hmm, but the wmctrl -l does work and gives me the Terminal listed
[17:44] <SubjectOne> verry strange problem
[17:44] <Halexander9000> onryo: Could you please help me fix it?
[17:45] <Halexander9000> I already tried this http://www.kdenlive.org/forum/mlts-sdl-module-not-found-0 but I can't find the file. Manually or with the aid of the rm command in terminal.
[17:45] <onryo> Halexander9000 ? Weird. What version of GNU/Linux you using. I know ubuntu but is it 11.04?
[17:45] <Halexander9000> onryo: How can I find out?
[17:45] <onryo> uname -a
[17:46] <onryo> just tell me the kernel name
[17:46] <Halexander9000> Linux halexander9000-904HD 3.0.0-16-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 27 17:50:54 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
[17:46] <zykotick9> SubjectOne: so sorry, i assumed (incorrectly) that wmctrl was a terminal program you where trying to run.  My bad, ignore me ;)
[17:46] <Halexander9000> onryo: Was that helpful?
[17:46] <Dante> onryo: give me a sec and I will just try it
[17:46] <onryo> Halexander9000 yeah you are using the newest Ubuntu.
[17:47] <Halexander9000> onryo: And that's a problem because... ?
[17:47] <onryo> Halexander9000 No that should not be a problems at all.
[17:47] <SubjectOne> wmctrl is a app for controlling via cli open-applications like possitions etc..
[17:47] <Halexander9000> So, why can't I find that file so I can remove it and make KDenLive work?
[17:48] <SubjectOne> what i want is that my Terminal in Gnome, when started is alway on-top stated
[17:48] <Halexander9000> onryo: ^
[17:48] <onryo> Halexander9000 After you removed your ppa did you do an apt-get  update?
[17:48] <Halexander9000> Yes.
[17:48] <Halexander9000> onryo: What does that have to do with the current issue?
[17:49] <ungagnigna> ciao
[17:49] <onryo> Halexander9000 sounds like that ppa dropped its own dependency that is still causing a collision
[17:49] <RxDx> please, i have a notebook with nvidia optimus.. which program should i choose: ironhide or bumblebee?
[17:49] <ungagnigna> !list
[17:49] <Halexander9000> onryo: Well that's peachy. Please tell me you can help me.
[17:50] <onryo> Halexander9000 what was the ppa that you had used?
[17:50] <Halexander9000> onryo: https://launchpad.net/~stebbins/+archive/handbrake-releases
[17:51] <onryo> Halexander9000 handbrake is nice. Dev dropped it last year but good. Anyway to make things easy try the program bitbleach and do a system clean
[17:52] <Halexander9000> onryo: That program sounds awful. I'll do it!
[17:53] <Dante> onryo: its taking kind of long  to install wireshark since it looses connection and restart again, but its going forward
[17:53] <onryo> Dante sounds like your net is really SLOW
[17:54] <Dante> onryo: its download at 13kb per second.... usually I download at 200kb/sec
[17:55] <Halexander9000> onryo: USC can't find bitbleack
[17:55] <Halexander9000> onryo: USC can't find bitbleach*
[17:55] <onryo> Halexander9000 bitbleach sry
[17:56] <Halexander9000> onryo: Yes, bitbleach, it can't find it.
[17:56] <Halexander9000> onryo: You were right the first time.
[17:56] <onryo> Halexander9000 Ill look in my repo.
[17:57] <Pici> onryo, Halexander9000: the package name is bleachbit
[17:57] <Halexander9000> Psh, well there's your problem onryo.
[17:57] <onryo> Pici I compile my from http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/
[17:57] <onryo> Pici thx for the head up
[17:58] <Halexander9000> Onryo: Installing bleachbit...
[17:58] <starn> ok google's not helped me.. but i am having issue with ALL AUDIO playing from both headphones and speakers when headphones connect... i'd be happy with music going to speakers.. but the rest of the audio i don't... realtek hardware.
[18:00] <Zal> starn, have you tried fiddling with a mixer?
[18:00] <starn> Zal: very much so,,
[18:00] <onryo> gf is here. Going to grab some dinner.
[18:01] <Halexander9000> Great... Pici, how do I do a System wipe with BleachBit?
[18:01] <starn> i've tried.. pulseaudio preferences as well... and the other mixer for pulse... pavucontrol.
[18:06] <SteveBell> hi all. trying to setup a samsung ml-1520 printer under latest ubuntu. total linux noob so no experience at all. can someone help me out?
[18:06] <SteveBell> found this page, not sure what to do with it: http://www.openprinting.org/printer/Samsung/Samsung-ML-1520
[18:06] <Zal> SteveBell, make sure cups is running, then visit http://localhost:631 in your favorite web browser.
[18:07] <eQuiNoX__> is there anyway i can configure totem media player so that i can have multiple instances of the same to run?
[18:07] <SteveBell> zal how can I see if cups is running?
[18:07] <Zal> SteveBell, sorry, I'm not familiar enough yet with ubuntu's service scripts to answer that one well.
[18:07] <starn> Zal: any ideas??
[18:08] <SteveBell> ok, well it's a hint for me to start with.
[18:08] <SteveBell> thx
[18:08] <Zal> starn, eh, stop using pulseaudio? That's the only thing I would think to try.
[18:08] <starn> well i believe my audio player uses alsa.. and even if i tell teamspeak to use alsa it doesn't have effect.
[18:09] <Zal> starn, I mean, I *hear* how cool it is, but it seems to cause a lot of problems. Maybe they've fixed all that recently, I dunno
[18:09] <Krissed> Would anyone happen to know how to alter the permissions for a mac hdd ? i cant delete any files from it
[18:09] <Zal> starn, hm, ok
[18:09] <Krissed> lol Hjemmeplejen. awsome name
[18:09] <Zal> Krissed,
[18:09] <Zal> oops
[18:09] <Krissed> yea
[18:10] <Zal> Krissed, how are you mounting it?
[18:10] <bluefrog> Krissed, it may be mounted read only in which case you will not be able to change
[18:10] <cordyceps> The bios clock is correct but whenever I boot ubuntu it's out by exactly 7 hrs -- which just happens to be the distance from here to Greenwich. How to fix? pls
[18:10] <Krissed> zal via usb. since im in ubuntu live (gotta move files before installing) its just being automounted
[18:10] <Krissed> even when doing a sudo nautilus i cant delete any files
[18:11] <helmut_> hi
[18:11] <Krissed> hi helmut
[18:12] <zykotick9> cordyceps: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata" might work
[18:12] <chipotle> how do i compile a tar.gz package; i can't get it through my package manager?
[18:12] <Zal> Krissed, I suppose automount will use your /etc/fstab parameters. You can configure it there to mount rw, with appropriate uid, gid, and umask options. See "man mount" and "man fstab" for details. Ubuntu may have some graphical interface to ease this process, I don't know.
[18:12] <zykotick9> !checkinstall | chipotle
[18:12] <Companion> tar -xvf Krissed.tar.gz
[18:12] <pengw>  hi all
[18:12] <pengw> i have  a question
[18:13] <Companion> pengw, shoot it
[18:13] <zykotick9> chipotle: if you use checkinstall above instead of the regular method you'll be able to uninstall it through regular means (this is a BIG advantage)
[18:13] <Companion> pengw, and you already asked
[18:13] <pengw> i try to do md5sum and then use diff to cmp it but i dont know how
[18:13] <LjL> chipotle: a .tar.gz is just a compressed archive. you use tar like you've been told, then you read the instructions inside it (usually a README or INSTALL file). are you sure the software you want isn't available as an Ubuntu package, though?
[18:14] <pengw> can i use diff to cmp a txt with the the txt in a file? i mean is that diff only able to cmp file with file?
[18:14] <cordyceps> zykotick9: nope, same old same old
[18:15] <zykotick9> cordyceps: well either your timezone is not set, your your clock is set to use UTC instead of local time.  Sorry, not sure how ubuntu deals with that.  Good luck.
[18:15] <starn> i know under connector i see analog output and analog headphones.
[18:15] <LjL> pengw: diff compares files, but you can do "diff <(echo text) file", that's a standard bash thing (if i've got the syntax right)
[18:16] <fairuz_> Does apt-cacher has a build-in monitor to see how much space the cache has taken or what are the packages that are cached?
[18:16] <pengw> thx i will try it
[18:17] <cemycc> I am trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop, I have set the wireless network in install configuration and now i see a empty screen on installer for more than 3mins ?
[18:17] <mace> hi folks. i'm trying to find a mirror for intrepid packages, but not having a lot of luck, any ideas?
[18:17] <Frogzilla> Anybody here have any clue on how to use PPTPD please PM me
[18:17] <urfr332gO> mace, you have 9.10 running?
[18:17] <LjL> mace: http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/
[18:18] <patients> command to  open url remotely using ssh...
[18:18] <cordyceps> my actual local time now is what tzdata calls greenwich time and vice versa. I have to  use Time & Date utility to reset it.
[18:18] <mace> LjL: tried that, but it only appeared to have cd images etc, not packages?
[18:18] <zykotick9> fairuz_: not sure, but the old school method would be something like "du -sh /var/cache/apt-cacher"
[18:18] <mace> LjL: ignore me :)
[18:18] <LjL> mace: it has packages
[18:18] <chipotle> LjL: yes i'm positive
[18:18] <Frogzilla> I installed PPTPD (apt-get install pptpd) and it wasnt working propperly so I rm -rfv /etc/ppp/ thinking that file was generated by pptpd, where can I get the /etc/ppp/ file back and its contents?
[18:18] <mace> urfr332gO: customer does; i need to migrate them to something up to date
[18:18] <mace> LjL: cheers, ta
[18:19] <fairuz_> zykotick9: thanks. Btz, just found it. sudo /usr/share/apt-cacher/apt-cacher-report.pl  :)
[18:19] <patients> command to  open url remotely using ssh...
[18:19] <chipotle> where should i put the package to compile, LjL ?
[18:19] <urfr332gO> mace, there is a end of life upgrade would yo like a link?
[18:19] <urfr332gO> you*
[18:19] <LjL> chipotle: anywhere in your home directory
[18:19] <Frogzilla> I installed PPTPD (apt-get install pptpd) and it wasnt working propperly so I rm -rfv /etc/ppp/ thinking that file was generated by pptpd, where can I get the /etc/ppp/ file back and its contents?
[18:20] <mace> urfr332gO: nah, ta; tbh i'm probably going to migrate them to debian with a clean install
[18:21] <urfr332gO> mace, cool so you understand why there is no repo available per-say. :)
[18:22] <lollipopp> hi, im trying to set up a daap server (forked-daapd), how can i give the server the permissions to access my music direktory? error message is: "could not dereference: Permission denied"
[18:22] <patients> command to  open url remotely using ssh...
[18:22] <mace> urfr332gO: of course :) actually what i'm doing is sticking munin on the old box so i can get a gauge as to what the new box needs to look like
[18:24] <fairuz_> Anyone have any idea why I got no output (the screen blanked) after the kernel is booting?
[18:24] <chipotle> how do i add a ppa to ubuntu?
[18:24] <gao> kkkk
[18:24] <fairuz_> But if I boot from the recovery menu, it's good
[18:24] <fairuz_> !ppa | chipotle
[18:24] <zykotick9> !nomodeset | fairuz_
[18:24] <gao> jest tu jakiś polonus?
[18:25] <chipotle> fairuz_: how do i write this ppa in sudo apt-get-repository? https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/ppa
[18:25] <gao> viv la polonez!!!
[18:25] <gao> xxx
[18:26] <chipotle> fairuz_: got it
[18:26] <fairuz_> zykotick9: I will take a look at it. Thanks
[18:26] <gao> dołączył, opuścił, co za świry...
[18:27] <gao> jest ktoś z Polski? Może być ostatecznie nawet pedałłłł, brrrr
[18:27] <pangolin> !polish
[18:28] <Guest22817> how do i get from :/home$  to :/home$ /sidney
[18:28] <LjL> Guest22817: cd sidney
[18:29] <Guest22817> No such file or directory
[18:29] <LjL> Guest22817: well, it does have to exist. also to be accurate, ":/home$ /sidney" makes no sense, i just interpreted it as "/home/sidney$"
[18:29] <zykotick9> Guest22817: if you are sidney just type "cd" to get to your home
[18:31] <JohnNapster> hello
[18:33] <Krissed> Hmm can you convert a mac hdd (guess its hfsplus) to ext or ntfs without losing the files ?
[18:33] <Guest22817> zykotick9, there is a file in sidney called cc i was trying to get to
[18:34] <Halexander9000> Greeting gentlehumans! I'm desperately trying to make sense of things here. I have this .ogv file that uploads and plays without a problem in youtube. Because it's recorded with RecordMyDesktop, with absolutely no editing done. Now, I want to edit said file. Surprize, surprize, OpenShot video editor can't even play the file without video errors, much less export it into a similar or different format without the same video errors. I tried to convert
[18:34] <zykotick9> Guest22817: sorry, i'm still not sure what path you want, or what you really want to do.
[18:34] <arand> Krissed: I think there are few filesystem which can be converted like that.
[18:35] <arand> Krissed: ext -> ext+1 -> btrfs is the only one I know off of the top of my head
[18:35] <Guest22817> i want to cd to the folder in home / sidney called cc
[18:35] <Krissed> arrand well basicly i inherited a portable 1.5gb hdd stuffed with movies and what else. except my uncle had a mac.. im into linux. not macOS. and i need to access the files to delete some of them
[18:35] <Guest22817> hope that makes sense
[18:36] <zykotick9> Guest22817: paths to not have space in them.  do you want "cd /home/sidney/cc" (if cc is a directory)
[18:36] <Zaitzev> hello
[18:36] <Zaitzev> I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 :)
[18:36] <Guest22817> /home/sidney/cc
[18:36] <Zaitzev> how come desktop icons aren't visible?
[18:36] <Halexander9000> Help please?
[18:36] <DaZ> how about cd /home/sidney/cc ? :f
[18:37] <om26er> Zaitzev, desktop icons? can you show a screenshot?
[18:37] <Krissed> zaotzev thats cause it all went to hell with unity.. fortunatly you can get it to look like gnome 2 with gnome3
[18:37] <Zaitzev> om26er: yeah I would like to have desktop icons
[18:38] <Zaitzev> Krissed: is that so..
[18:38] <Krissed> zaitzev my advise is to look at gnome-fallback
[18:38] <Zaitzev> i don't have to have it ofc
[18:38] <JohnNapster> where can i get the sourc code for update-manager package?
[18:38] <Zaitzev> and for some reason newly installed programs doesn't appear in the Alt-Tab list
[18:38] <om26er> Zaitzev, drag from dash and drop over desktop
[18:38] <Krissed> zaitzev i recommend you start by installing synaptic and get gnome-fallback and switch to that
[18:39] <zykotick9> JohnNapster: assuming update-manager is the package name "sudo apt-get source update-manager" might work
[18:39] <Zaitzev> om26er: doesn't work, the icon just pops back into dash
[18:39] <JohnNapster> thanks
[18:40] <Halexander9000> Greeting gentlehumans! I'm desperately trying to make sense of things here. I have this .ogv file that uploads and plays without a problem in youtube. Because it's recorded with RecordMyDesktop, with absolutely no editing done. Now, I want to edit said file. Surprize, surprize, OpenShot video editor can't even play the file without video errors, much less export it into a similar or different format without the same video errors. I tried to convert
[18:41] <zykotick9> Halexander9000: option 1 - use a different video editor that supports .ogv   option 2 - use ffmpeg to convert to a format OpenShot can use
[18:41] <Halexander9000> zykotick9: Option 2 is out of discussion, since the first tutorial uses that.
[18:42] <Halexander9000> Option 1 - KDenLive won't even start.
[18:42] <Halexander9000> MLT's SDL module not found. Please check your MLT install. Kdenlive will not work until this issue is fixed.
[18:42] <VIPER-II> Is there any Mailclient capable of automagically downloading the attachments of a mail to a specified directory every 15 minutes?
[18:42] <Halexander9000> Any idea on how to fix that? I've been through the forum. Nothing really of use there.
[18:42] <zykotick9> Halexander9000: be aware ffmpeg has LOTS of options, you probably should dicard it based on one tutorial.  good luck.
[18:43] <om26er> Zaitzev, seems its working for me
[18:43] <zykotick9> s/should/shouldn't/
[18:43] <Zaitzev> om26er: hm, ok
[18:43] <Zal> VIPER-II, not sure, but my bet would be mutt
[18:43] <om26er> though I use 12.04 but nothing have changed on that front between these two releases
[18:44] <Zephyr> hey
[18:44] <chipotle> where's the gui to add or remove repositories?
[18:44] <om26er> chipotle, software-properties-gtk
[18:44] <Krissed> chipotle uhmm yes in synaptic you can
[18:44] <Krissed> its gui
[18:44] <VIPER-II> Zal: mutt ?
[18:44] <VIPER-II> Zal: I'll go sniff...
[18:45] <noel_g> How can I determine how my terminal settings are being set?  in ~/ I have .bashrc and .profile my settings for PS1 were in .profile and recently I did something and now getting default PS1. tried renamind .bashrc to .bashrc_OLD but still not working
[18:45] <zykotick9> VIPER-II: mutt is an amazing terminal based mail client, no idea if it does what you want though
[18:45] <Zal> VIPER-II, ... no pun intended? ;-)
[18:45] <chipotle> Krissed: i don't see the repos added in apt/sources.lst?
[18:45] <RandLAT> Bash completion is broken on my Ubuntu Desktop 11.10 and I can I recreate the issue at will: if I manually type "git branch -v" a letter at a time, I get the result I want. if I manually type "git br" then press tab whch complete "anch" and finish with " -v" somehow somewhere it kicks me out of the current directory hence the command (git branch -v) fails
[18:45] <Zal> noel_g, read "man bash", search for "INVOCATION"
[18:45] <SubjectOne> is there a way to dock a gnome-terminal to the background ( without the usage of compiz ? )
[18:45] <VIPER-II> zykotick: i'll go sniff for it.
[18:45] <VIPER-II> thanks   :)
[18:46] <dlentz> Halexander9000, do you have this file?: /usr/lib/mlt/libmltsdl.so
[18:46] <Krissed> chipotle Settings > arcive (or so i think it says in english. im using danish ubuntu=
[18:47] <Guest22817> I'm installing conky to use the make command do I point to one of the files  suck conky-all.install?
[18:47] <Guest22817> such as
[18:48] <xrdodrx> Guest22817, why don't you just install the version in Ubuntu's repositories?
[18:48] <zykotick9> Guest22817: (i'm not clear on what you said above)  are you using "make" to install conky?  Why? it's in the repo.
[18:48] <BattlestarB> can you enter "room lists" with empathy?
[18:49] <BattlestarB> i can't open the room list with empathy? how about you?
[18:49] <SubjectOne> aha found it, with devilspie
[18:49] <Guest22817>  sorry i have the basic conky installed this is conky colors
[18:49] <zykotick9> BattlestarB: my personal recommendation would be to use IM clients for IM, and IRC clients for IRC.
[18:49] <BattlestarB> zykotick9: what do ou suggest?
[18:50] <Halexander9000> dlentz: Hold on, I think I solved the issue by installing the program from terminal. It says I need to upgrade MLT
[18:50] <BattlestarB> on ubuntu
[18:50] <zykotick9> BattlestarB: xchat for GUI, irssi for termianl
[18:50] <BattlestarB> ok thanks
[18:54] <Zal> what native tool(s) does Ubuntu come with for building debs?
[18:55] <zykotick9> Zal: for personal use or to distribute?
[18:56] <alfredo> hola
[18:56] <Zal> zykotick9, what factors does that choice affect?
[18:56] <zykotick9> !checkinstall | Zal this is only good for personal use
[18:57] <alfredo> necesito hacer un script para agregar desde consola addons de firefox, tengo problemas con eso ayuda
[18:57] <Pici> !es | alfredo
[18:57] <Zal> zykotick9, I'm familiar with checkinstall. I'm not necessarily starting with source tarballs. I need to build .debs for arbitrary items
[18:57] <alfredo> gracias
[18:57] <zykotick9> Zal: good luck, i'm no help then.
[18:58] <starn> if someone was to break their sound in ubuntu how would one revert backwards to when it was kinda working??
[18:58] <Zal> zykotick9, thanks for the tip anyhow, I do like checkinstall :-)
[18:58] <Pici> Zal: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide , as well as #ubuntu-packaging
[18:58] <zykotick9> starn: gnu/linux doesn't have a "system restore" like windows does
[18:58] <Zal> Pici, thanks
[18:58] <starn> zykotick9: so i am screwed?
[18:58] <zykotick9> starn: no, you just need to "fix" it
[18:59] <starn> i dunno how.
[18:59] <Zal> actually, alsactl does have "restore", but it only works if you save the configuration somewhere first.
[18:59] <Zal> and that's only alsa
[18:59] <zykotick9> starn: well this is the right place to be then.
[18:59] <starn> i do need to upgrade to x64...... it's not detecting all my ram anyways haha...
[18:59] <mister2> hey guys, i just tried to install a bunch of deb files and didn't have the dependencies and was offline. I tried to use aptoncd but that didn't really work for me. is there a simple way to remove the broken packages so i can move the debs to the cache and then install it with apt-get?
[18:59] <zykotick9> starn: can you give details of what you did, or what is happening?  DON'T reply to me
[19:00] <zykotick9> starn: you can't upgrade from 32bit to 64bit, reinstall would be required for that
[19:00] <starn> install alsa drivers for ALC1200 audio.. [my sound card]
[19:00] <starn> i know zykotick9...
[19:01] <Trevor69420> starn: if u reinstall to 64-bit the problem u are having with the sound may be null ;-)
[19:01] <starn> Trevor69420: i am running on no sleep.. does that mean gone? haha
[19:01] <mister2> hey guys, i just tried to install a bunch of deb files and didn't have the dependencies and was offline. I tried to use aptoncd but that didn't really work for me. is there a simple way to remove the broken packages so i can move the debs to the cache and then install it with apt-get?
[19:01] <Trevor69420> no starn
[19:02] <Trevor69420> it means the problem might be gone not the sound
[19:02] <Trevor69420> it will revert back to the way it was before you did whatever you did
[19:02] <Polah> Are there any solutions to the kernel power issues from 2.6 through to 3.0?
[19:02] <milen8204> !no unity
[19:02] <zykotick9> !notunity > milen8204
[19:02] <starn> well Trevor69420 my issue at first was sound came through both my headphones and speakers at same time... i tried fixing that... now i have no sound at all....
[19:03] <Trevor69420> how did u try fixing it?
[19:03] <starn> by installing the alsa drivers for my audio device...
[19:03] <Trevor69420> bbiab i gotta get a sandwich i'm starving here
[19:03] <milen8204> zykotick9: thanks
[19:04] <starn> ok Trevor69420...    also guys.. i'm gonna lay down.. i'll try thinking about how to fix what i did.. if i can't think of a solution i'll be back.. but i'm to sick to be sitting here.
[19:04] <urfr332gO> mister2, back track your installs and remove them, no real answer here, linux does not have a revert to earlier version.
[19:05] <mister2> urfr332g0 i don't follow what you're saying. i have a folder of debs, and i just tried to install them all, some of them are broken, i'd like to run a command with apt-get or something to remove the ones that have unmet dependencies
[19:05] <zykotick9> mister2: are you online now?  have you tried "sudo apt-get -f install"?
[19:06] <mister2> zykotick9 i don't want to download ~300 mb of package files, i'm on satellite internet which blows
[19:06] <rusty149> Hi, I can't mount an Apple hard drive in Ubuntu desktop. It is not on any device list. I can't see any errors in dmesg. Any ideas on how to access it?
[19:06] <mister2> i can do it tonight, but i'd rather just do it as i want the programs. i was under the impression aptoncd would grab all the dependencies for me as well, but it did not
[19:07] <Nach0z> rusty149: internal or external?
[19:07] <rusty149> Nach0z: internal Hitachi Sata 250 GB
[19:08] <rusty149> Nach0z: 2.5"
[19:08] <Nach0z> hrm. so it's an IDE drive
[19:08] <noel_g> Zal  got it working, thanks
[19:08] <Nach0z> or no?
[19:08] <Zal> noel_g, excellent
[19:08] <Nach0z> wait no. sata. 2.5" not meaning the 2.5 ide. Um, have you tried mounting your /dev/sd* devices?
[19:09] <rusty149> Nach0z: Technically SCSI SATA i think
[19:09] <Nach0z> as in, checking for /dev/sdb and what not? it might not be in a device list but sometimes you just gotta mount /dev/sdb to something
[19:09] <rusty149> Nach0z: There are 2 /dev/sd entries for a and b. Both accounted for as internal drive and usb
[19:09] <Nach0z> hm....
[19:09] <yun_> join/ #ubuntu.fr
[19:10] <sun_devil> using chmod, how would you change the permissions for a file to -rwxr-x---   ?
[19:10] <zykotick9> rusty149: are you restarting system after attaching SATA drive?
[19:10] <Nach0z> rusty149: have you tried mounting the hard drive on a different machine? might be a faulty drive
[19:10] <urfr332gO> yun_, /join
[19:10] <rusty149> Nach0z: It hangs for about 2 minutes on bios boot
[19:10] <Cognitive> Hi everyone. Trying to get compiz up and running on Xubuntu. I installed nvidia-current and it works fine (I get full resolution and everything) but whenever I run nvidia-xconfig and generate a xorg.conf the system crashes.
[19:10] <rusty149> zykotick9: Yes, attached before boot
[19:10] <Nach0z> heh. Didn't mean BOOTING it, rusty149, I mean mounting it as a secondary drive on another machine
[19:11] <zykotick9> rusty149: ok, just checking
[19:11] <Cognitive> does compiz force using xorg.conf?
[19:12] <iceroot> Cognitive: no
[19:12] <rusty149> Nach0z: It failed to boot in the Mac that it comes from. I attached it to my Ubuntu PC hoping to recover the files like I would for an ntfs or ext drive. But it is not even recognised, so I have not attempted to mount it yet
[19:13] <zykotick9> Cognitive: are you sure your nvidia card is supported by nvidia-current vs. the old drivers?
[19:13] <Cognitive> iceroot: well, it won't run giving me an error Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0" followed by Compiz (opengl) - Fatal: glXCreateContext failed
[19:14] <Cognitive> zykotick9, I searched a LOT but it's a new card. Nothing shows up on google
[19:14] <urfr332gO> Cognitive, have you looked on the web for tutorials on your release and compiz?
[19:14] <Cognitive> it's geforce GT 635M
[19:14] <Cognitive> urfr332gO, i've been googling for the past few days
[19:14] <Nach0z> rusty149: hm. I honestly don't know how to fix that. sounds like hardware failure to be perfectly honest.
[19:14] <CT1> Hi.  Is there a way to look for a dhcp server on the network at boot and if there isn't one, start dhcp server?  (It's for my NAS device, I want it to be a dhcp server when it boots *only* if there isn't one already on the network) Any tips on what to google?
[19:15] <Cognitive> anyway, the problem seems to be a combination of compiz, xorg.conf and nvidia-current
[19:15] <bzimmerly> rusty149: try "sudo lshw | less" and search for the string "Disk" ... does it display at all?
[19:16] <Cognitive> urfr332gO, by the way, after installing nvidia-current I get full resolution. Isn't that an indicator that the driver is supported?
[19:17] <zykotick9> Cognitive: you weren't kidding about results be thin for that card ;)  good luck man.
[19:17] <urfr332gO> Cognitive, I know nothing about nividia.
[19:17] <rusty149> bzimmerly: Nach0z: I can't see it in there either.
[19:18] <Cognitive> urfr332gO, regardless, I would assume if I reboot and everything works fine and dandy (without xorg.conf) then why would it "not" be supported
[19:18] <rusty149> bzimmerly: Nach0z: Are there any other low level list commands I can run to rule out OS solutions
[19:18] <urfr332gO> Cognitive, so you want me to confirm what I don't know, yeah sure. :)
[19:18] <Nach0z> rusty149: not that I'm aware of, sorry. I really don't know. sudo fdisk -l should list all drives that the OS sees
[19:19] <okum> good, free, simple video editor for ubuntu 11.10?
[19:19] <zykotick9> Cognitive: when you don't have xorg.conf in place, try "lspci -vnvn" find the VGA section, and the kernel driver in use line, i imagine it's gonna say nouveau instead of nvidia
[19:19] <rusty149> Nach0z: tried fdisk teskdisk mount parted lshw dmesg
[19:19] <bzimmerly> rusty149: okay ... yeah, I don't think the disk is responding to the controller. (shrugged shoulders)
[19:19] <cemycc> I have installed Ubuntu 11.10 on my laptop and my wireless network is set as Unmanaged and I can't connect to internet
[19:20] <sun_devil>   Its a file rwx = 7,  r-x =5,  --- = 0,   so chmod 750  I want the permissions as -rxwxr-x---
[19:20] <zykotick9> cemycc: remove the wireless from /etc/network/interfaces
[19:20] <rusty149> bzimmerly: Nach0z: Thanks anyway
[19:21] <Cognitive> zykotick9: output is : "Kernel driver in use: nvidia" followed by "Kernel modules: nvidia_current, nouveau, nvidiafb"
[19:21] <bzimmerly> rusty149: You're welcome. Good luck man.
[19:21] <Cognitive> zykotick9: do you think I should just rename the driver to nouveau in xorg.conf?
[19:21] <zykotick9> Cognitive: well, that's the nvidia driver then!  so i was wrong.  not sure how that's possible without xorg.conf
[19:21] <uykusuz> hello, can i ask for help about "restarting compiz" here?
[19:21] <zykotick9> Cognitive: NO, you probably want nvidia over nouveau
[19:22] <Cognitive> zykotick9: I'm chatting with you right now on full resolution on my computer booting without xorg.conf
[19:22] <Cognitive> all that I did was to install nvidia-current
[19:22] <zykotick9> Cognitive: that's a mystery to me.  Good luck.
[19:22] <fabio> hi guys
[19:22] <cemycc> zykotick9: same
[19:23] <fabio> im using ubuntu server lastest version and ive installed X window manager and gnomw
[19:23] <fabio> gnome
[19:23] <fabio> but when i start gnome says failed to load session ubuntu
[19:23] <urfr332gO> cemycc, run lspci in the terminal and find the card and post it.
[19:23] <rusty149> fabio: have you installed ubuntu-desktop package?
[19:24] <cemycc> urfr332gO, Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express)
[19:24] <fabio> rusty149,  yes i have installed with this command apt-get install gdm
[19:25] <zykotick9> fabio: gdm is not gnome
[19:25] <Cognitive> zykotick9: by the way, search the hardware it seems I have to VGA controllers: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) AND 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Device 124d (rev a1)
[19:25] <Cognitive> is this normal?
[19:25] <Cognitive> to/two
[19:25] <fabio> zykotick9, huh?
[19:25] <zykotick9> Cognitive: AHHH you have one of those hybrid cards
[19:25] <zykotick9> fabio: gdm is Gnome Display Manager, it's not the entire Gnome DE
[19:25] <Cognitive> zykotick9: what's a hybrid card?
[19:25] <rusty149> fabio: try apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[19:25] <fabio> ok
[19:26] <Shambat> having some problems with my user. I seem to have lost my sudo rights or something. I found out when I tried editing an Apache vhost: sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/siteA. I get the following error: Sorry, user shambat is not allowed to execute '/usr/bin/nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/siteA' as root on homebox. What could I have done to do this, and how can I fix it?
[19:26] <zykotick9> Cognitive: intel/nvidia thing... you need some special software to use that properly i believe
[19:26] <krycek> type users
[19:27] <Shambat> krycek, that for me?
[19:27] <rusty149> Shambat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers
[19:27] <Cognitive> zykotick9: oh boy, definitely not available on linux right?
[19:27] <cemycc> urfr332gO, zykotick9 I have restarted the laptop and now is working. thanks for the help
[19:27] <krycek> Shambat: yes, try it
[19:27] <Oer> Cognitive, check out bumbleblee >> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee
[19:27] <Nach0z> I really dislike hybrid graphics setups
[19:27] <Shambat> I get just "shambat", my username
[19:27] <zykotick9> Cognitive: it is actually - there are 2 options i believe, it's not hardware i have
[19:27] <CharminTheMoose> in /etc/sudoers, how do I specify multiple commands to 'NOPASSWD'? doing: 'User ALL=NOPASSWD /usr/bin/dpkg /bin/mount /bin/mount' causes the changes to not take effect.
[19:28] <urfr332gO> cemycc, cool.
[19:28] <Oer> Cognitive, it is not perfect, and there is a channel also > #Bumblebee , those guys are up2date
[19:28] <sun_devil> Anyone know about chmod
[19:28] <krycek> Shambat: if you type sudo -i what happens./?
[19:28] <Cognitive> zykotick9: do I have to remove nvidia-current before trying bumblebee
[19:28] <zykotick9> !anyone | sun_devil
[19:28] <zykotick9> Cognitive: i'm not sure, sorry.
[19:28] <CarlFK> "d-i time/zone string US/Central" - is "Pacific" the string for the west cost?
[19:29] <Cognitive> zykotick9: don't be, you've been very helpful. Thank you so much.
[19:29] <Shambat> krycek: I'm prompted for my password, and then I get: Sorry, user shambat is not allowed to execute '/bin/bash' as root on homebox.
[19:30] <krycek> Shambat: when you type users what happens?
[19:31] <zykotick9> Shambat: did you change your computer's hostname by chance?
[19:31] <Shambat> zykotick9: no I havent changed it ... I checked /etc/hosts and /etc/hostnames and it seems fine...
[19:32] <zykotick9> Shambat: ok, i was just checkin'  good luck.
[19:32] <Shambat> krycek: I just get my username "shambat"
[19:32] <zykotick9> Shambat: that's your issue then!
[19:32] <krycek> Shambat: only one time right?
[19:32] <krycek> bahXD
[19:32] <zykotick9> Shambat: sorry, try "groups" in a terminal - are you a member of admin?
[19:32] <sun_devil> OK chmod 750 did what I wanted just checked it with ls -l
[19:33] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: what is the output of:  groups
[19:33] <krycek> Shambat: if you have ssh installed maybe you could try % ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>?
[19:33] <krycek> to see if its a name problem or not what..
[19:33] <sun_devil> How would I set the group to "saints" and the owner to "root" for a file?
[19:34] <Shambat> groups has shambat and www-data  ... I was messing with adding my user to www-data group yesterday ...
[19:34] <zykotick9> sun_devil: "chown root:saints foo"
[19:34] <krycek> I smell norwegians
[19:34] <sagar> hi people
[19:34] <zykotick9> Shambat: you did it wrong, and removed all other groups -- you used usermod didn't you?
[19:34] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: probably why then
[19:35] <krycek> sagar: hi
[19:35] <sun_devil> zykotick9, what is the foo ?
[19:35] <zykotick9> sun_devil: replace foo with the file/directory you want - it's a common term in linux/unix as a variable
[19:35] <Shambat> zykotick9: looking through my history I did: sudo usermod -G www-data www-data
[19:36] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: reboot to root recovery mode and run: usermod -a -G admin shambat; reboot      You are now in the admin group so can use sudo and can ow add yourself to the usual groups
[19:36] <zykotick9> Shambat: yup, that's the issue - you needed, "sudo usermod -Ga www-data www-data"
[19:36] <Shambat> ah
[19:36] <Shambat> crap
[19:36] <zykotick9> Shambat: the a is append, meaning add vs. replace
[19:36] <Shambat> I should have come here first before messing with that stuff :P
[19:36] <krycek> touche
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: or searched the web a little
[19:37] <Shambat> yeah
[19:37] <Shambat> I was not being careful enough
[19:37] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: my groups says:  $USER adm cdrom sudo dip plugdev lpadmin sambashare
[19:38] <Shambat> can I reboot to root recovery mode and control it via SSH?
[19:38] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: sudo?  that should be admin shouldn't it?
[19:38] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: no need, you will be at the local system
[19:39] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: not sure, bit weird. This is precise prerelease and I've not added my user to any groups
[19:39] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: debian has always used sudo, so perhaps ubuntu is changing to using that?
[19:39] <Shambat> ActionParsnip: yeah I'm only wondering cause getting a monitor to the box will be a pain
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: you could boot to root recovery with network and SSH, but you'll need local access to get to that point
[19:40] <sun_devil> zykotick9, thanks
[19:40] <Shambat> ActionParsnip: ok
[19:40] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: possibly, never noticed it tbh. never had to mess with groups :)
[19:40] <pedro> oi
[19:41] <Shambat> ActionParsnip: guess it will be a lesson for me :)
[19:41] <Cognitive> zykotick9: Dude, you are awesome. It's definitely a hybrid card and definitely a bumblebee solution.
[19:42] <krycek> oi
[19:42] <Cognitive> installed it and everything went smoothly without even a reboot
[19:42] <zykotick9> Cognitive: awesome!
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> dual gpu success story!?
[19:43] <ActionParsnip> wow
[19:43] <Cognitive> zykotick9: weird card for sure! From what I read, they just created it to reduce energy consumption by going through the intel interface
[19:43] <sun_devil> zykotick9, I have a file with a certain word in it  and want to find all the lines that do not have this word using the grep
[19:43] <Shambat> What I was trying to do was to have a situation where I can edit files on my web folder remotely, and still keep the owner as www-data:www-data ... what is the best way to accomplish that? Right now I just changed my Apache run user to shambat and have all the files owned by shambat:shambat
[19:43] <pilz> How do I browse/install packages? "Ubuntu Software Center" in the launcher seems to be missing A LOT
[19:43] <Cognitive> anyway, thank you again, I feel great
[19:44]  * krycek 420!!!
[19:44] <RandLAT> Seems I fixed my issue with broken tab completion by copying over the files from /etc/skel into my user profile
[19:44] <sun_devil> I only know basic commands
[19:44] <zykotick9> sun_devil: sorry, no suggestions for that.  "IF" you don't get an answer here, try #bash
[19:44] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: could make a group and add your user and www-data to the group, then change the group ownership to that group
[19:44] <Shambat> ActionParsnip: yeah thats what I was trying to do :) ... so I had the right idea
[19:44] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: i didn't think you could nestle groups like that?
[19:45] <sun_devil> zykotick9, the channel #bash ?
[19:45] <ActionParsnip> zykotick9: its the www-data user and the users user
[19:45] <zykotick9> ActionParsnip: oh, the www-data user, sorry - ignore me
[19:45] <Halexander9000> Greeting gentlehumans! I'm desperately trying to make sense of things here. I have this .ogv file that uploads and plays without a problem in youtube. Because it's recorded with RecordMyDesktop, with absolutely no editing done. Now, I want to edit said file. Surprize, surprize, OpenShot video editor can't even play the file without video errors, much less export it into a similar or different format without the same video errors. I tried to convert
[19:45] <zykotick9> sun_devil: ya #bash channel as amazing at the terminal stuff - they're pretty "serious" though
[19:46] <Shambat> ActionParsnip: could I also make a group www-data, and add my user to that group?
[19:46] <Wiz_KeeD> guys
[19:46] <Wiz_KeeD> how do i create a wireless hotspot in ubuntu 10.4? please
[19:46] <Wiz_KeeD> :(
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> Shambat: that group already exists
[19:46] <zykotick9> Shambat: there already is a www-data group, and yes
[19:46] <ActionParsnip> !ics | Wiz_KeeD
[19:46] <Shambat> cool ... thanks for all the help guys!
[19:49] <Halexander9000> Help please?
[19:49] <Halexander9000> Anyone?
[19:50] <Halexander9000> I've spent 7 hours today on that problem. My head is hurting and I really need to get this done today.
[19:50] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: convert it to avi, may help
[19:50] <MonkeyDust> Halexander9000  i'd say, ask in #ubuntustudio, even if you're using plain ubuntu
[19:52] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: With what? Nothing seems to work. And I'm getting increasingly aggravated by it.
[19:52] <Wiz_KeeD> woah
[19:52] <Wiz_KeeD> that looks complicated
[19:52] <Wiz_KeeD> i don't want to meddle around

[19:53] <ActionParsnip> Wiz_KeeD: you are adding router functionality to your OS, its not something simple
[19:53] <Zaitzev> has anyone tried serviio, the dlna server program?
[19:53] <Zaitzev> or any dlna server that actually works on ubuntu.
[19:53] <pex> does anyone know where to find the channel topic?
[19:54] <MonkeyDust> !topic
[19:54] <pex> thanks
[19:54] <pex> topic
[19:54] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: But it uploads just fine! I want to edit it. Then upload it. Nothing seems to render it properly.  Tried modifying relevant config with api values. using pastebin.com
[19:57] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: I know. But the thing that most annoys me is that these problems always seem to arise whenever I want to -not- be lazy for a change.
[19:58] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: I could've just uploaded that file with no audio commentary, but no, I just have to do something about my voice not being in my own recording.
[20:01] <Stevan94NoT> Im getting r6002 error floating point support not loaded when i try to run WoW through Wine
[20:02] <masterlord65> Hi, can anyone help with partitions? The problem is probably a disk geometry. 11.10 Ubuntu server. I create partitions on the disk such as SDD. Everything is OK until you restart the server. After reboot SDD1 partition is invisible. It is not in dev / and / proc / partitions. Sfdisk shows that the partition does exist. After leaving the sfdisk partition appears in the system.
[20:02] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/updjW2Dh
[20:02] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: Guess what? That didn't work either.

[20:07] <zykotick9> s9575_: you can't with gnome-shell
[20:07] <ActionParsnip> Halexander9000: may help too, there are plenty of sample commands online dude
[20:07] <s9575_> omg, what have they done with gnome....
[20:07] <Jordan_U> s9575_: gnome-shell depends on the mutter window manager.
[20:08] <CharminTheMoose> How can I loop mount files as a normal user on 11.04?
[20:08] <krycek> x)
[20:08] <masterlord65> Jordan_U one minute - restart in progres :)
[20:08] <Halexander9000> ActionParsnip: I know, I've been at it for 7 hours. My brain hurts so much...
[20:08] <s9575_> Jordan_U: ok, thanks
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> CharminTheMoose: I believe only root can mount
[20:08] <ActionParsnip> CharminTheMoose: sudo mkdir /media/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/filename.iso /media/iso
[20:09] <aethelrick> CharminTheMoose: maybe try fuse, havn't done it myself but i think it should be able to
[20:09] <capslock286> I would like to hear some thought about the Unity-desktop with the Open-source driver of ATI? I use Mobility Radeon 4200 on a Compaq laptop but feel that the Unity desktop is slow
[20:09] <Jordan_U> s9575_: You're welcome.
[20:10] <aethelrick> CharminTheMoose: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/
[20:10] <capslock286> If I'd try to use the recommended proprietary drivers, it will be even slower.
[20:10] <capslock286> Any thought on this on how to fix it?
[20:10] <aiphee> capslock286 why it would be slower?
[20:10] <CharminTheMoose> ActionParsnip, is it possible for me to grant a normal user the ability to use mount without the use of sudo?
[20:10] <krycek> what does google say?
[20:10] <CharminTheMoose> aethelrick, cheers, I'll look into that.
[20:10] <zykotick9> !google | krycek
[20:11] <aethelrick> CharminTheMoose: it ships with ubuntu by default
[20:11] <capslock286> I have no idea. By luck, I realised that installing the MESA-utils running the Radeon-driver enables the "Gallium"-experience as stated by system information in the system settings tab in Ubuntu
[20:12] <aiphee> you should give a try to newest propritary driver
[20:12] <pex> am i here?
[20:12] <krycek> ubottu: oh highness :)
[20:12] <krycek> awesome
[20:12] <krycek> there should be a fix out there
[20:12] <capslock286> Ps. I have already Googled this numerous of times, there are numbers of questions about this on launchpad, but none of the solutions provided worked out.
[20:12] <CharminTheMoose> Hmm

[20:19] <zykotick9> Halexander9000: just an unhelpful FYI, but theora isn't exactly a "modern" video codec... it's open, but doesn't come close to quality of either webm or the proprietary mp4.  I look forwared to a time when webm is more generally supported by applications.

[20:20] <robert__> internal

[20:23] <CT1> Hi.  How can I look for an existing dhcp server on the network before starting dhcpd?
[20:23] <SH[1]> use dhcp client ?
[20:23] <pex> can any one hear me

[20:24] <SH[1]> pex: no.
[20:24] <capslock286> robert_ please do, this might be a solution for your network card but it is quite tiresome to follow all the 14 steps if you, like me, are a user that prefers to have everything working out of the box - directly :-)
[20:25] <capslock286> robert_e: so if you find this too technical, let me know and I will put som more effort in finding another solution to it.
[20:25] <SH[1]> is there any corporation taking the lead of ubuntu project?
[20:25] <zykotick9> SH[1]: if you want a 100% free distro, you could try Trisquel - it's based on ubuntu
[20:25] <zykotick9> SH[1]: canonical
[20:25] <SH[1]> zykotick9: i am considering ubuntu because of the hardware i have. XPS Dell L502X
[20:26] <Galvatron> And in everything Ubuntu-based as well
[20:26] <zykotick9> SH[1]: ubuntu isn't a community distro, Canonical is the managing company behind it

[20:37] <zykotick9> robert__: cd ..
[20:38] <robert__> zykotick9: i'm nooby with ubuntu sorry
[20:38] <zykotick9> robert__: or "cd -" to jump back to a previous directory, not directly below where you are
[20:38] <ActionParsnip> robert__: note there is a space between cd and the 2 periods
[20:38] <robert__> i know
[20:39] <ActionParsnip> robert__: just covering the bases, in windows it's  cd..    without the space

[20:42] <charnel> I have a static ip and 2 computers in a local network how can I reach the web server in one of them from a browser ? When I type the static ip in the browser nothing happens
[20:42] <ccggg> ciaoooooo
[20:42] <ccggg> !list
[20:42] <genii-around> charnel: Try instead the lan ip
[20:43] <squibby> are there any decent ubuntu download mirrors in the US for my future reference?  ubuntu.com seems to not have adequate WAN capacity.
[20:43] <charnel> yes but i want people from outside to reach it. So wondering how to reach it from static_ip/lan_ip
[20:44] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: just run:   sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop /usr/share/     then log off
[20:45] <genii-around> charnel: If you have already set up port forwarding from the router/modem to the internal ip of the webserver, people should be able to reach it from outside. The problem from trying to use the external ip of it from inside the lan is a routing issue
[20:46] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: you can then select the wallpaper, then log back in and run: sudo unlink /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop
[20:46] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: Will it work now so long after I did up to the third one I have shut down between then and now. Then Where or how do I find the background tab it describes in the log on screen?
[20:46] <robert__> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1645716 i don't get what number 10 is asking me to do
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: its like setting the wallpaper in yourOS, its the same deal
[20:47] <masterlord65> any one can help me with partitions and geometry of disk?
[20:47] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: http://maketecheasier.com/change-login-and-boot-screen-in-ubuntu-lucid/2010/05/13
[20:47] <charnel> genii-around: sorry its my bad that I did not exaplain problem correctly. I have a rails app in the localhost:3000 of one of my computer and can connect to that app from the second one. The problem is when I port forward I dont know how to reach the port 3000 of the 1 computer from outside (ie my phone)
[20:48] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: But how do I do it in the log on screen, there is nothing there that will allow me to do it?
[20:48] <shawn> would it be a good idea to dual boot freebsd with ubuntu
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: thats theonly way I know, maybe someone else has a different way. I've not used lucid since Maverick was in Alpha 2
[20:49] <ActionParsnip> shawn: sure, why not
[20:49] <shawn> ahh alright just wondering
[20:50] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: Ok will try. Another thing, when I close firefox it closes all my links how do I change this so when it closes it saves my links?
[20:50] <genii-around> charnel: You need in this case to set up your router/modem to port-forward port 3000 to the ip of the machine you wish to reach
[20:51] <ActionParsnip> BlueWolf: press CTRL+H and you should see the history
[20:52] <robert__> how can i edit the module file?
[20:52] <robert__> in etc/modules

[20:53] <cemycc> Someone know why the deja dup backup tool freeze at some random file ? when I want to restore some files from my computer to laptop
[20:53] <BlueWolf> ActionParsnip: You miss understood me. I want fire fox to save my tabs when it shuts down. So when I start up again everything is set up just like it was before I closed.
[20:53] <CFHowlett> robert__  carefully.  vewwy vewwy carefully.
[20:54] <CFHowlett> BlueWolf   Firefox preferences|Privacy|History settings

[21:04] <cargo23> SH[1]:  This is probably OT, since I doubt if it is Ubuntu's fault.

[21:04] <guntbert> pex: yes, but that is not an ubuntu support question, please ask in ##networking
[21:05] <SH[1]> cargo23: i never said it was ubuntu fault.
[21:05] <pex> ok
[21:05] <SH[1]> but if i wanted to meet one person using ubuntu on this laptop this would be a good place.
[21:05] <SH[1]> it isnt offtopic.

[21:07] <Burrito> Ello. I'm installing Ubuntu right now, after being a.. oh, it just finished. After being away from it for a year or two. I'd like to know, is there any difference between [KDE installed over normal Ubuntu] and [Kubuntu intstalled from the start]?
[21:07] <Burrito> any major difference*
[21:08] <shawnn> i did not have a good experience using kde on ubuntu although that is just me
[21:08] <grex25> Application standards
[21:08] <shawnn> it seems more stable when you use kubuntu for kde because it is the default desktop env
[21:09] <SH[1]> cargo23: all resources work fine in XPS 15?
[21:09] <cargo23> SH[1]: All the ones I've tried to use, I guess.
[21:09] <Burrito> Ah.. well atm I'm finding it hard getting used to the new Unity things, and I want to have the choice of having KDE as a secondary DE. I've used KDE before.
[21:09] <SH[1]> ill give it a try then.
[21:10] <pex> where is ## networking?
[21:11] <urfr332gO> pex, at that address
[21:12] <grex25> you need to join the channel called "##networking"
[21:12] <Chipzzz> Burrito: i don't like unity much either but i installed cairo-dock on top of it & am delighted with the results!
[21:12] <pex> ok, just seems empty there. Thanks
[21:13] <SH[1]> pex: what is the doubt?
[21:13] <urfr332gO> pex, you have a space in yours not needed.
[21:15] <pex> i am a first timer here
[21:16] <pex> was in ## not ##netwk
[21:17] <Burrito> oh dear.
[21:18] <pex> what the hell was that
[21:18] <Burrito> a netsplit - one freenode server lost communications with another
[21:18] <Chipzzz> pex: i don't see a freenode channel devoted to networking: http://irc.netsplit.de/channels/
[21:19] <kron> too many people...
[21:19] <pex> why did that happen?

[21:36] <Etherael> can you get ubuntu singleboot on a macbook air? (mid 2011 version)
[21:36] <tonyyy> Hi
[21:36] <battlestarB> Is it safe using ubuntu with admin account?
[21:36] <Etherael> with all the bits working (extended battery life / wifi / full res graphics)
[21:36] <dweez> battlestarB, only as safe as the user
[21:36] <urfr332gO> battlestarB, yes, but yu would not run as root
[21:36] <dweez> preferred method?  Don't
[21:37] <dweez> and use sudo for when you need admin privs
[21:37] <CFHowlett> Etherael   see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/How%20to%20install%20Ubuntu%20on%20MacBook%20using%20USB%20Stick
[21:37] <mbeierl> dweez, nope.  when new windows open, their title bar is behind the unity bar
[21:37] <battlestarB> 11.10 manually created admin account
[21:37] <battlestarB> it wasn't like that ex versions
[21:37] <PhantomOcelot042> That is similar to my situation, yes.
[21:37] <dweez> Oh wait, I'm using Gnome so I'm not familiar with the "unity bar", sorry mbeierl
[21:37] <urfr332gO> battlestarB, admin is sudo access.
[21:37] <mbeierl> dweez, exactly ;)  Thanks
[21:38] <PhantomOcelot042> ALTHOUGH-  I have no modded anything, straight install from teh ubuntu.com download for the 32bit ubuntu :/
[21:38] <battlestarB> urfr332gO, do you mean it is the same as ex versions?
[21:38] <dweez> PhantomOcelot042, what do you get with a "sudo apto-get check"?
[21:38] <urfr332gO> battlestarB, ex versions?
[21:38] <battlestarB> urfr332gO, like 10.04
[21:38] <fra> hi guys
[21:38] <dweez> battlestarB, did it create and "admin" account or did it just prompt you to make an account?
[21:38] <PhantomOcelot042> phantom@ocelot-NV53A:~$ sudo apt-get check
[21:39] <PhantomOcelot042> Reading package lists... Done

[21:39] <FloodBot1> PhantomOcelot042: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[21:39] <dweez> afaik, *nix doesn't use "admin" for any system accounts
[21:39] <tonyyy> just a question, i know the LTS (10.04 desktop) will be supported until april 2013, but after that official deposit will be deleted ?
[21:39] <dweez> tonyyy, don't know.  I'd imagine it just means updates will no longer be made for it
[21:39] <PhantomOcelot042> http://paste.ubuntu.com/861108/
[21:39] <ssta> battlestarB: ubuntu doesn't really support a root account.  One is possible, but it's not advised.  Presumably under teh (reasonable) assumption that if you are skilled enough to create one yourself without help then you're skilled enough not to want to...or at least to fix whatever breakage you cause.  Just stick to sudo, it's safer
[21:39] <nelson8874> I have xubuntu 11.10. I changed the definitions of the mouse to move the slowest (definitions/definitions manager/mouse), but still i think it moves to fast. Is it possible to make it moves MORE slower?
[21:39] <battlestarB> dweez,  ubuntu 11.10 didn't ask me to set master password when installing.
[21:40] <urfr332gO> battlestarB, all ubuntu releases have sudo access in the main account, now it is a click to make it a admin with an extra account in 10.04 you have to add yourself to the sudo list, if you have sudo access it is a admin.
[21:40] <dweez> battlestarB, ssta explained why
[21:40] <fra> I need a small support: i'm running 11.10 64bit ... I don't know what appen but every 32bit app seems to not work any more ( skype, google earth ) ...  I got message like this :/usr/bin/google-earth: 43: ./googleearth-bin: not found
[21:40] <dweez> they want you to use sudo instead of su
[21:40] <sun_devil> tar -cvf somefile.tar dir1 dir2 ?  to backup (2) directories to a file?
[21:40] <CFHowlett> tonyyy   "delete official deposits" ??? what do you mean?
[21:41] <ssta> sudo *is* (in general) safer and better than su.
[21:41] <dweez> I think he's asking of the 10.04 LTS repos go away
[21:41] <dweez> :s/of/if
[21:41] <battlestarB> ssta, it says admin accout, but it asks for permission when system changing
[21:41] <ssta> battlestarB: yes, that's normal.
[21:41] <dweez> define "system changing"?
[21:41] <chown_> hello guys, i have to mount a lot of network drivers during my inicialization, i was reading and testing things and the mount.cifs worked for me. the thing is... i want to make it run at login, but mount have to be sudo, and making a script i have to type my sudo password every cmd line. is there a way i could handle this better?
[21:41] <CFHowlett> tonyyy   all it means is no further updates/upgrades.  You can continue using it though.
[21:42] <ssta> battlestarB: it's possible to turn that ioff, but again, not advised (for similar reasons)
[21:42] <battlestarB> ssta, i know, i don't want to turn off!
[21:42] <battlestarB> ssta, i want to be sure if it is safe like this way
[21:42] <ssta> battlestarB: well, the first user you create when you install should have sudo access...
[21:42] <battlestarB> ssta, or i have to create a standard account
[21:42] <dweez> which sounds like you named your first user "admin"
[21:43] <dweez> user created during install, whatever you named it, is fine
[21:43] <ssta> battlestarB: oh...fine, just create another (non sudo capable) account then
[21:43] <battlestarB> ssta, i am asking if it is necessary?
[21:43] <nelson8874> I have xubuntu 11.10. I changed the definitions of the mouse to move the slowest (definitions/definitions manager/mouse), but still i think it moves to fast. Is it possible to make it moves MORE slower?
[21:43] <Trevor69420> chown_ what if when you start the script you start with sudo -i?
[21:43] <ssta> I must admit, I'm a little confused as to what your actual question is...
[21:43] <ssta> battlestarB: if what is necessary exactly?
[21:43] <dweez> PhantomOcelot042, try "sudo apt-get autoremove" and after that "sudo apt-get autoclean".  I'm beginning to be at a loss here
[21:43] <battlestarB> ssta, creating standard user account
[21:44] <urfr332gO> dweez, with users now in 11.10 for example any account with sudo is called admin, kind of confusing for some, and you can click it admin instead of adding the new account to the sudo group.
[21:44] <ssta> battlestarB: not unless you want to.  If you're the only user, then many people would just stick to the first account they made.  It's really up to you though
[21:45] <dweez> urfr332gO, they added and admin group?
[21:45] <ssta> urfr332gO: seriously?  ugh.  Control panels, now they're calling root "admin".  What's next?  BSOD?
[21:45] <Chipzzz> lol
[21:45] <scientes> require './filename'
[21:45] <scientes> i like that
[21:45] <battlestarB> ssta,  ok then, i will stick this account, i just confused it says "admin account" in accounts settings
[21:45] <Mech0z> in terminal, how do I open an executeable?
[21:45] <dweez> oh, the adm group
[21:45] <urfr332gO> dweez, it is just a click on the making of the new account called admin, not sure if it is a actual new group.
[21:45] <Pici> dweez: adm and admin groups are two different things.
[21:45] <ssta> battlestarB: that just means it's allowed to sudo is all...it's normal
[21:45] <scientes> Mech0z, ./filename
[21:45] <fra> I need a small support: i'm running 11.10 64bit ... I don't know what appen but every 32bit app seems to not work any more ( skype, google earth ) ...  I got message like this :/usr/bin/google-earth: 43: ./googleearth-bin: not found. Any Idea ?
[21:46] <scientes> Mech0z, but you usually have to do chmod +x filename
[21:46] <scientes> first
[21:46] <battlestarB> ssta, i see, thanks a lot
[21:46] <scientes> to make it executable Mech0z
[21:46] <dweez> Pici, ah, I see that now too
[21:46] <dweez> and urfr332gO, yeah, it's an actual group name
[21:46] <Pici> dweez: dweed adm typically has access to read logs in /var/log while admin is defined in sudoers.
[21:46] <scientes> Mech0z, things you download from the internet are never set executable
[21:46] <TheEmpath> any way to run a process in mlockall(2)?  Perhaps a sys wrapper in C?
[21:46] <tonyyy> CFHowlett, by "official deposit " i mean servers which store all packages (sorry i'm a french :) )
[21:46] <dweez> so it's just to help make sudoers easier?
[21:47] <scientes> TheEmpath, I believe systemd has a feature for that, but that is not in ubuntu of course
[21:47] <adiabatic> a group of "admin" is a bit more intuitive than "wheel", if you ask me
[21:47] <scientes> adiabatic, agreed
[21:47] <battlestarB> is there a way to move unity to the rigt?
[21:47] <urfr332gO> dweez, it gives sudo access is all I believe. Really confusing for windows users probably who actualy use the limited acount , the 3 or 4 anyway lol.
[21:47] <dweez> it is, but you know tradition ;-)
[21:47] <TheEmpath> scientes: oh noes what does i does?
[21:47] <CFHowlett> tonyyy   no problem.  safest bet is that the servers will be offlined - it MAY be possible to find SOME archived sources, but plan on them being deleted forever - schedule your upgrades now.
[21:47] <Pici> tonyyy: They generally stay online for a short time after support has ended.  Alternatively, you can use old-releases.ubuntu.com  (also #ubuntu-fr for french)
[21:47] <ssta> adiabatic: sheel *is* traditional :)
[21:48] <ssta> s/sheel/wheel/
[21:48] <scientes> TheEmpath, wait, systemd probably doesn't, it takes too much to develop mlockall to work well
[21:48] <smiley_> I have a system with 48 disks...ubuntu only sees up to /dev/sdag (disk #31) any ideas about where I need to look in order to get the OS to see at 48?
[21:48] <ssta> what I fail to understand is why there's an admin group AND a sudo group.  Surely that's a bit redundant?
[21:48] <scientes> TheEmpath, because the c stack is default of 8 MB per thread, which is very excessice, for example
[21:48] <Mech0z> scientes trying to install new firmware on my raidcontroller with http://www.lsi.com/support/products/Pages/MegaRAIDSAS8308ELP.aspx megacli
[21:49] <zykotick9> ssta: except wheel is used to allow becoming root, not sudo related really
[21:49] <scientes> Mech0z, you should check if that is in the mainline kernel, which is likely
[21:49] <TheEmpath> scientes: hrmmm basically, i want to make sure a process never has its memory end up in swap and if that isn't possible, then i want to encrypt swap and if that isn't possible, then i want to turn off swap without having linux crash
[21:49] <adiabatic> so "people in wheel can become root" predates sudo?
[21:49] <scientes> Mech0z, try doing apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree first
[21:49] <Mech0z> scientes how
[21:49] <zykotick9> ssta: the sudo group comes from upstream - ie debian
[21:49] <scientes> "apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree" Mech0z
[21:49] <scientes> see if that works
[21:50] <ssta> zykotick9: wheel is also traditionally used as a sudo access group (at least in Solaris)
[21:50] <battlestarB> does anyone know what is the Firestarter's  background service name?
[21:50] <scientes> !fakeraid Mech0z
[21:50] <scientes> !faceraid
[21:50] <scientes> !rakeraid
[21:50] <scientes> !fakeraid
[21:50] <Pici> scientes: Please /msg ubottu instead nextime.
[21:50] <ssta> zykotick9: ah, I didn't know that.  I thought it was so that upgrades didn't break systems (since it used to be sudo in ubuntu before they added admin)
[21:50] <TheEmpath> !rakerage?
[21:50] <scientes> pici i was trying to help Mech0z
[21:51] <sun_devil> Does anyone know what flag to backup to floppy?
[21:51] <Mech0z> scientes I need to update my raidcards software before I start doing software raid
[21:51] <battlestarB> i have installed firestarter firewall and did some configurations but i am not sure if it is working in background or not
[21:51] <scientes> Mech0z, if it is a low-end "fake" (software) raid, its use is highly discouraged
[21:51] <zykotick9> ssta: from ActionParnsip earlier, 12.04 might be going back to use of sudo group - time will tell
[21:51] <ssta> sun_devil: backup what to floppy?  (do people even still use floppies?)
[21:51] <Mech0z> scientes anyway I installed the linux firmware, how am I supposed to use that? I ahve my .rom file
[21:52] <ssta> zykotick9: I tweak it all anyway to allow slightly finer grained control for my servers...so it's not that important :)
[21:52] <sun_devil> I usually upgrade my old machines and avoid new
[21:52] <scientes> Mech0z, firmware in linux is not .rom
[21:52] <sun_devil> floppies and pine
[21:52] <dweez> software doesn't use firmware
[21:53] <dweez> that's for the hardware
[21:53] <_Marcus> I keep trying to overwrite a file over FTP, and it's not working. I used chmod to make it 744, but it's still not doing anything. I can upload files that aren't already there. Any idea how to fix it?
[21:53] <scientes> its .ucode, .bin or .fw Mech0z and it goes in /lib/firmware--but it is put there when you install the kernel
[21:53] <battlestarB> is there anyone who uses firewall here?
[21:53] <dweez> hopefully everyone
[21:53] <shivam7074> its my 1st time wat 2 do???
[21:53] <dweez> uses fw
[21:53] <Mech0z> scientes how should the kernel know about my ancient raid cards new firmware?
[21:53] <scientes> Mech0z, did you install "linux-firmware-nonfree"?
[21:53] <Mech0z> yes
[21:53] <battlestarB> dweez, what firewall do you use?
[21:53] <scientes> and then reboot?
[21:54] <Mech0z> no
[21:54] <dweez> I use UFW with GUFW
[21:54] <sun_devil> ssta, what flag would you use to backup to floppy?
[21:54] <sun_devil> 2-3
[21:54] <nelson8874> I have xubuntu 11.10. I changed the definitions of the mouse to move the slowest (definitions/definitions manager/mouse), but still i think it moves to fast. Is it possible to make it moves MORE slower?
[21:54] <chipotle> hi, what openGL driver do i use when i have an i3 cpu (intel HD 2000 graphics)?
[21:54] <ssta> battlestarB: some people do, some rely of the firewalls built into their routers
[21:54] <scientes> reboot is easiest in most cases after that if you are not seeing the drive Mech0z
[21:54] <ssta> sun_devil: I'm sorry, I don't understand the question
[21:54] <dweez> ssta, I personally perfer both...security in layers
[21:54] <shivam7074> i cant get my facebook a/c authorized in gwibber, even i put every thing right...
[21:55] <battlestarB> ssta, i have installed firestarter
[21:55] <Mech0z> scientes isnt this drivers then?
[21:55] <Mech0z> and not firmware
[21:55] <CFHowlett> shivam7074   details please
[21:55] <scientes> Mech0z, some devices require firmware to initilize correctly
[21:55] <diegoviola> hi
[21:55] <ssta> dweez: to each his own.  I prefer to secure it according to how much I care about it.  Some things get megalayered firewalls (like my work servers), some stuff (my home network) only has two layers
[21:55] <diegoviola> will ubuntu 12.04 come with wayland for testing?
[21:55] <diegoviola> please say yes
[21:55] <chipotle> hi, what openGL driver do i use when i have an i3 cpu (intel HD 2000 graphics)?
[21:55] <ssta> battlestarB: okay...I'm not familiar with that
[21:55] <dweez> ssta, true
[21:55] <shivam7074> wat details
[21:55] <scientes> Mech0z, but you can do lspci and the put that here: http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/
[21:55] <battlestarB> ssta, what firewall do you use?
[21:55] <scientes> Mech0z, which might tell you something about drivers
[21:56] <dweez> firestarter is a GUI for standard ipchains
[21:56] <zykotick9> diegoviola: try asking in #ubuntu+1
[21:56] <sun_devil> ssta, what is a flag?
[21:56] <dweez> battlestarB, Ubuntu recommends GUFW now
[21:56] <diegoviola> ok
[21:56] <Scunizi> Chrome and Chromium are non-starters for me because they white screen google maps on a regular basis.. strange that they do this on their own product and FF doesn't.  Anyone have a solution?
[21:56] <battlestarB> dweez, does it have icmp block options?
[21:56] <shivam7074> what details???
[21:56] <dweez> a couple versions back, Firestarter was the recommended gui but since Ubuntu switched to UFW, they recommend GUFW
[21:56] <CFHowlett> shivam7074   what version of ubuntu?
[21:57] <shivam7074> 11.10
[21:57] <ssta> battlestarB: where?  At work we have several layers of checkpoint-one, the gateway to the VLAN has an iptables script based firewall that I write, and each server has its own iptables script based firewall.  At home my router has a firewall, and some stuff is sent to the server in the DMZ where there's an iptables firewall I wrote
[21:57] <dweez> battlestarB, you can add that rule
[21:57] <CFHowlett> shivam7074   does the facebook account appear in gwibber?
[21:57] <dweez> sorry, I said ipchains earlier, I meant iptables
[21:58] <ssta> gui firewalls...*shudder* :)
[21:58] <dweez> battlestarB
[21:58] <dweez> battlestarB, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
[21:58] <shivam7074> no, 1st of all it doesnt get authenticated only...
[21:58] <ssta> maybe I'm just too old
[21:58] <P1rate> Sup geeks?
[21:59] <battlestarB> dweez, ok ok, i will have a look at it :)
[21:59] <dweez> battlestarB, on that page, it has a section for disabling PING
[21:59] <Oer> shivam7074, maybe you need to login via http to allow gwibber connect to facebook?
[21:59] <sun_devil> I could not find anything in man
[21:59] <_lpc> anyone that sucessfully setup an arm toolchain to build android apps can give me some point
[21:59] <ssta> battlestarB: just out of interest, why block ping?
[22:00] <shivam7074> how to do that???
[22:00] <CFHowlett> shivam  see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p955H5-e_Cw
[22:00] <dweez> I agree, for the most part, I leave ping as is
[22:00] <battlestarB> ssta, actually i a mnot trying to block ping
[22:00] <dweez> UFW allows PING by default
[22:01] <battlestarB> ssta, i want to block other things
[22:01] <dweez> Give GUFW a look battlestarB, it allows you to block/enable by Application, service, etc as well as individual ports
[22:01] <shivam7074> what to do if the video is not playing???
[22:02] <dweez> and it's a decent beginning into looking at iptables via cli
[22:02] <battlestarB> dweez, i will, thanks
[22:02] <CFHowlett> shivam7074  can't see it on YT?  Probably need to install flash
[22:02] <shivam7074> in utube???
[22:02] <JJasonClark> woot! random guess of an ubuntu chat room worked.  lol
[22:02] <P1rate> shivam7074: check your adobe version
[22:03] <battlestarB> dweez, ssta, thanks for your interes, have a nice day
[22:03] <shivam7074> how to install flash???
[22:03] <ssta> probably best you use the GUI I suppose (I can't believe I'm saying that).  If you were to do it "by hand" then something like: iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type 8 -s 0/0 -i eth0 -j DROP
[22:03] <dweez> you too
[22:03] <JJasonClark> could someone point me to some resources on how to solve my `apt-get update` not working error? I'm guessing its a networking thing since I'm in a VPC. Although I can ping the ubuntu server.
[22:03] <P1rate> shivam7074: it should be at the repos
[22:03] <dweez> ssta, the link I gave him had clear instructions for disabling ping in UFW
[22:03] <CFHowlett> shivam7074   direct from adobe http://www.adobe.com/downloads/
[22:03] <Pici> JJasonClark: Can you pastebin the exact error?
[22:03] <JJasonClark> you can Pici
[22:04] <dweez> and UFW is just a "ease of use" tool for iptables
[22:04] <shivam7074> what is repos???
[22:04] <JJasonClark> I am getting many lines that look like this: W: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-updates/multiverse/source/Sources.gz  404  Not Found
[22:04] <P1rate> shivam7074: software center!
[22:04] <dweez> repos == repositories == location of installation files
[22:04] <ssta> dweez: ah, fair enough.  I know very little of ufw (except it produces the most convoluted and impossible to debug set of rules...maybe it's imroved in the past year or so)
[22:05] <dweez> ssta, no it hasn't, it's gon the way of RHEL's ip filtering
[22:05] <JJasonClark> err sorry Pici. ment "sure can"
[22:05] <P1rate> ssta: UFW is decent for start
[22:05] <Pici> JJasonClark: can you browse to http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid-updates/multiverse/source/ with w3m?
[22:05] <dweez> but it's <fingerquotes>supposed to be</fingerquotes> easier/simpler
[22:05] <P1rate> if you dont want to mess with iptables rules over cli
[22:05] <ssta> dweez: hmm...last time I looked at RH's thing was in about 1999.  At that time it explicitly added a rule for every port (either accept or reject)...was a nightmare
[22:06] <filo1234> UFW is decent to start, using firewall, but it's syntax and rules so very differents than iptables
[22:06] <dweez> yeah, but wasn't it straight iptables?
[22:06] <sun_devil> Any idea what a flag is?
[22:06] <ssta> dweez: ipchains at the time IIRC...
[22:06] <JJasonClark> w3m is a cool little utility.  neat
[22:06] <dweez> Now it seems to be very similar to the syntax ufw uses
[22:06] <JJasonClark> Pici: yes, I can browse the web site
[22:06] <P1rate> sun_devil: flag? like red flag?
[22:07] <filo1234> dweez: all firewall, tool or gui ..use iptables and write rules in it
[22:07] <Pici> JJasonClark: Are you using a proxy to connect to the internet?
[22:07] <P1rate> CTF contest ?
[22:07] <ssta> sun_devil: in what context?  In software a flag usually means like a switch, something is either on or off (or maybe has a range of short values)
[22:07] <dweez> anyway, EoB here, l8r everyone
[22:07] <JJasonClark> Pici: yes I am. and I have set `http_proxy` to my proxy with port info
[22:07] <Pici> JJasonClark: aha!  one moment.
[22:08] <sun_devil> trying to do a backup
[22:08] <urfr332gO> sun_devil, back up home or a full clone?
[22:09] <Pici> JJasonClark: You used "export http_proxy=http://whateverproxy:proxyport"  in the same terminal where you're using apt-get?
[22:09] <mempoke> hello
[22:09] <P1rate> mempoke: HI :)
[22:10] <sun_devil> the command
[22:10] <mempoke> i am new to irc
[22:10] <JJasonClark> `export | grep http_proxy`  results in `declare -x http_proxy="http://guest.hds.com:8080"`
[22:10] <urfr332gO> !tab | sun_devil
[22:10] <JJasonClark> pici: yes, both my user name and root have the proxy settings
[22:10] <mobilenoob11> Hi all, I have a question.
[22:11] <scientes> Mech0z, you get something going?
[22:11] <urfr332gO> mobilenoob11, spit it out man. :)
[22:11] <P1rate> !question
[22:11] <Mech0z> scientes nah gave up for today, need to update that firmware, but think I will have to create a windows vm to get that done
[22:11] <mobilenoob11> K. Where does my private ssh key go in ubuntu? I have it but I don't know where it goes.
[22:12] <sun_devil> urfr332g0, !tab is a flag?
[22:12] <Zal> mobilenoob11, typically in ~/.ssh
[22:12] <scientes> ahh, yeah firmware upgrade, didn't know you were doing that
[22:12] <mobilenoob11> and then it knows its there?
[22:12] <Zal> mobilenoob11, depends on the file name. By default, ssh will look for ~/.ssh/id_dsa
[22:12] <Zal> or id_rsa
[22:12] <Pici> JJasonClark: Hm... You could try setting it directly in /etc/apt/apt.conf via Acquire::http::Proxy "http://yourproxyaddress:proxyport";
[22:13] <scientes> Mech0z, if that is a pci card however, you arn't going to succeed in a VM unless you have IOMMU hardware
[22:13] <mobilenoob11> I have rsa :)
[22:13] <Zal> mobilenoob11, you can also specify it on the command line, using the -i option
[22:13] <Pici> JJasonClark: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#APT_configuration_file_method may explain it better than I
[22:13] <JJasonClark> Pici: so `Acquire::http::Proxy ...` on one line?
[22:13] <Mech0z> scientes ok, will have to make a real windows install then
[22:13] <JJasonClark> pici: headed to the doc now
[22:13] <mobilenoob11> When you say specify, -i as an option to which command?
[22:14] <urfr332gO> sun_devil, the !tab was to trigger the bot to tell you how to address who your talking to a autocomplete of the nic. Flags can be in several areas.
[22:14] <Zal> mobilenoob11, ssh
[22:14] <JJasonClark> Pici: worked great!
[22:14] <mobilenoob11> oh, lemme manual page that
[22:14] <urfr332gO> !info flag
[22:14] <JJasonClark> Pici: I'm up and running again. doing the updates now
[22:14] <ssta> JJasonClark: example:    Acquire::http::Proxy "http://<IP_ADDRESS>:3142";
[22:14] <Mech0z> scientes tried usinig a hp tool to create a bootable drive, but then I got "not enough extended memory to load application exec Megacli"
[22:14] <filo1234> mobilenoob11: -i file where is key
[22:15] <JJasonClark> Thank you. I'll go update the #cloudstack room too. They might want to include the information in their setup guide
[22:15] <Pici> JJasonClark: great!
[22:15] <scientes> Mech0z, ahh you mean a bootable floppy?
[22:15] <Mech0z> scientes nah bootable us
[22:15] <Mech0z> usb
[22:15] <scientes> ok, you can do that from a virtual machine
[22:15] <scientes> or maybe even wine
[22:16] <AsHperson> does anyone know of an updated version of skype to work somehow on 11.10?
[22:16] <Mech0z> what? didnt you say I cant access my pcie from VM?
[22:16] <CFHowlett> AsHperson   skype for linux will be at beta forever.
[22:16] <mobilenoob11> So It looks in .ssh, unless I specify -i. what should the key's permissions be in he .ssh folder?
[22:16] <sun_devil> !tab | urfr332gO any idea on how to use a flag to backup?
[22:17] <AsHperson> CFHowlett will it ever update though? or a version of windows able to work with wine?
[22:17] <kunguz> Does anyone know where to find a prebuilt image of latest ubuntu for beagleboard with LXDE desktop?
[22:17] <CFHowlett> AsHperson   microsoft now owns skype.  You tell me...
[22:17] <Mech0z> scientes what? didnt you say I cant access my pcie from VM?
[22:17] <Pici> sun_devil: ! commands tell our bot (ubottu) to do things, you don't need to include them when you ask a question.
[22:17] <_Marcus> CFHowlett: They've owned Skype for awhile
[22:17] <urfr332gO> sun_devil, look closely at the bots message it has nothing to dop with your question.
[22:17] <AsHperson> oh, darn gotcha
[22:17] <scientes> Mech0z, that is correct, unless you have a IOMMU
[22:18] <filo1234> mobilenoob11: I think 664, you can try, so if you have wrong permission ssh say'll you
[22:18] <CFHowlett> _Marcus   and how many linux updates have YOU seen?
[22:18] <Mech0z> scientes then it still wont work with VM
[22:18] <scientes> Mech0z, but you can of course create a usb bootup stick from a VM, and then boot that on your ram hardware
[22:18] <scientes> *on your raw hardware
[22:18] <AsHperson> what about logmein hamachi(a version that works with the similar versions of that on windows and mac)
[22:18] <sun_devil> clear as mud
[22:18] <Mech0z> scientes I created the bootable alreaqdy, but I got the error I descripted beofre
[22:18] <shivam7074> 1st broadcast window got hanged in gwibber and then whiteout...
[22:18] <Mech0z> so I want to install directly from windows
[22:18] <guglielmo> ciao
[22:18] <guglielmo> !list
[22:18] <fra>  i'm running 11.10 64bit ... I don't know what happen but every 32bit app seems to not work any more ( skype, google earth ) ...  I got message like this :/usr/bin/google-earth: 43: ./googleearth-bin: not found. Any Idea ?
[22:19] <scientes> Mech0z, you ahve to boot the bootable directly, not in a virtual machine
[22:19] <_Marcus> CFHowlett: I never used it on Linux.
[22:19] <Mech0z> scientes I am doing that, and it dont work
[22:19] <urfr332gO> sun_devil, there are a number of back up schemas look into rsync if you want to use the terminal, ubuntu 11.10 has several gui backups one installed is called backup, I use grsync personally.
[22:19] <zykotick9> fra: you could try installing the ia32lib package and try again
[22:20] <urfr332gO> !rsync | sun_devil
[22:20] <sun_devil> Thanks
[22:20] <fra> zykotick9: thank u
[22:20] <fra> zykotick9: i have it
[22:21] <fra> ia32-libs
[22:21] <zykotick9> fra: try "linux32 ./program" maybe?
[22:22] <shivam7074> when i click authenticate then only the heading facebook comes wat to do???
[22:22] <shivam7074> no this came"Cannot resolve hostname (www.facebook.com)"
[22:22] <fra> zykotick9: same result : /usr/bin/google-earth: 43: ./googleearth-bin: not found
[22:22] <shivam7074> ???
[22:22] <FloodBot1> shivam7074: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:22] <zykotick9> fra: i don't have any other suggestions - good luck
[22:22] <Kircle> What temperate sensor can I use to monitor my Intel core i5 cpu temp? I tried some but they only let me monitor my HD's temp.
[22:22] <mega1> how do i adduser and only give them ftp access to only one folder in /var/www/username
[22:23] <fra> zykotick9: nooooooo

[22:23] <mega1> using ubuntu 11.04
[22:23] <nrdb> I have a python program complaining that there is not "/dev/dsp" what do I do to fix this?
[22:23] <shivam7074> sorry
[22:24] <Zal> nrdb, install a soundcard?
[22:24] <AcidRain> even with WICD my connection still drops roughly once every 72 hrs and fails to reconnect. does anyone have any work arounds for this?
[22:24] <sun_devil> by way of the terminal, rsync /home/path/folder /media/floppy    ?
[22:24] <AcidRain> any advice?
[22:24] <zykotick9> !info alsa-oss | nrdb
[22:25] <shivam7074> what is paste bin???
[22:25] <fra> zykotick9: maybe i have found a solutio n
[22:25] <AcidRain> shivam7074: pastebin.com
[22:25] <zykotick9> fra: care to share?
[22:25] <shivam7074> what is it???
[22:26] <CFHowlett> !paste|shivam7074
[22:26] <haylo> ok i am a little confused about how to do a system wide search for a file from the command line. i aways use nautilus like a noob. i understand some regex and shell scripting just am unsure how to do a system wide unix/linux search for a file or string or anything??
[22:26] <AcidRain> shivam7074: its pretty much a site where you paste anything you want to from your clipboard. also supports syntax highlighting of just about every language
[22:26] <fra> zykotick9: sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc6-i386
[22:26] <cemycc> !clone
[22:26] <haylo> not n*** you know what u mean sorry
[22:26] <Zal> haylo, locate <filename>
[22:26] <haylo> I*
[22:26] <fra> zykotick9: now I have a different error: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1:
[22:26] <haylo> Zal, from root?
[22:26] <fra> zykotick9: so it was a key point
[22:26] <AcidRain> even with WICD my connection still drops roughly once every 72 hrs and fails to reconnect. does anyone have any work arounds for this?
[22:27] <Zal> haylo, depends on the file. You can do it as a normal user, if a normal user can see the file
[22:27] <zykotick9> fra: 32bit OpenGL perhaps?  if you use nvidia, i think there is a ia32 lib for that
[22:27] <ericus> Anyone with a Zenbook and Ubuntu 11.04?
[22:27] <haylo> Zal, bash sys locate command not known i guess i need to intall the tool
[22:27] <fra> zykotick9: no nvidia ... all open driver: intel :)
[22:28] <mempoke> Please ditch unity\
[22:28] <Zal> haylo, hm, I guess so. It's pretty standard. Maybe you logged in without an environment somehow?
[22:28] <ericus> mempoke: word
[22:28] <zykotick9> mempoke: that's not going to happen - and this isn't the channel to complain to
[22:28] <nrdb> zykotick9, ok I will try
[22:29] <mempoke> zykotick9: i am thinking outloud
[22:29] <KM0201> ericus: what is your question about the zenbook?
[22:29] <haylo> ok Zal it is just a fringe system. im not on ubuntu right now. im installing thank you!!!! :)  this will be helpful in slimming my ubuntu install :)
[22:29] <ericus> KM0201: if the zenbook would work with 11.04 and a 3.x-kernel
[22:30] <shivam7074> where i will get answer to my problem if i send a screen shot???
[22:30] <KM0201> ericus: why do you suspect it wouldn't?
[22:30] <goddard> im getting permission issues when trying to edit a file over ssh with Kate
[22:30] <mempoke> is this channel only for ubuntu tech support?
[22:30] <CFHowlett> mempoke   yes
[22:31] <Pici> mempoke: #ubuntu-offtopic for chat, but keep in mind our guidelines
[22:32] <guglielmo> ciao
[22:32] <shivam7074> where i will get answer to my problem if i send by imagebin???
[22:32] <guglielmo> !list
[22:32] <CFHowlett> !it|guglielmo
[22:32] <chown_> is there a comand that show all mount drivers?
[22:32] <ericus> KM0201: I don't know. The Zenbook is pretty new, and works (pretty ok) out of the box with 11.10
[22:32] <zykotick9> chown_: drivers or drives?  to show all mounted drives "mount"
[22:33] <chown_> zykotick9: mount points
[22:33] <KM0201> ericus: so why do you want it to work w/ 11.04?
[22:33] <zykotick9> chown_: mount points are any directory on your system?
[22:33] <ericus> KM0201: may I /msg you?
[22:33] <golgelerprensi> hi ubuntu users
[22:33] <KM0201> ericus: i guess..
[22:34] <shivam7074> reply anyone???
[22:34] <mempoke> gvfs does not show file permissions correctly when using a network automount. Any ideas?
[22:34] <chown_> zykotick9: exacly, i mean i do a lot of mount -t cifs
[22:34] <ericus> Or we can take it in here KM0201
[22:34] <zykotick9> chown_: try "mount" to show everything currently mounted, and where they are mounted
[22:34] <KM0201> ericus: it doesn't really matter, it's just a simple question, why not just use 11.10, if it seems to work well w/ 11.10
[22:34] <ericus> KM0201: first of all, I run gnome instead of unity
[22:35] <chown_> zykotick9: oh, that simple, ty!
[22:35] <KM0201> ericus: ok.. might as well get off that tit, cuz Gnome is slowly fading
[22:35] <KM0201> actually, it's not so slowly at this point
[22:35] <ericus> Not slow, but more and more like windows
[22:36] <KM0201> ericus: have you tried one of the other GUI's?
[22:36] <ericus> I'm not able to disable all my startup applications
[22:36] <shivam7074> hello anyone???where i will get answer to my problem if i send by imagebin???
[22:36] <ericus> Yes, Openbox and XCFE
[22:36] <Pici> shivam7074: You need to post the url to your image here, otherwise we won't know what your problem is.
[22:36] <KM0201> ericus: well, xfce sucks right now.. so it's not surprising you didn't care for it.
[22:36] <CFHowlett> shivam7074   we're all volunteers here.  Send your pic.  Be patient.  VERY patient.
[22:37] <KM0201> ericus: personally, i love lxde
[22:37] <shivam7074> http://imagebin.org/201298
[22:37] <ericus> KM0201: Does that work well with all the gnome panel applets?
[22:37] <shivam7074> ok
[22:37] <KM0201> no not all of them, but it has a bunch of it's own that are similar.
[22:38] <KM0201> actually, it doesn't work with any "gnome panel applets" because it doesn't use gnome-panel... but it has it's own set of applets
[22:38] <KM0201> ericus: what applets are you specifically interested in
[22:38] <CFHowlett> shivam7074   I'm guessing you wanted to take a screenshot of something else.  "Grab after a delay of 5 seconds" gives you time to set up the shot.
[22:38] <Guest22817> Is there a way to see past updates
[22:38] <ericus> KM0201: most important of all is a CPU manager
[22:38] <ericus> for power optimization
[22:38] <shivam7074> ok
[22:38] <ericus> while on battery power
[22:39] <ericus> Guest22817: yes in Synaptic
[22:39] <KM0201> ericus: it has the xfce power manager panel applet, (i don't use it, so i don't know how to judge it's performance)
[22:40] <ericus> KM0201: OK, I'll try it out later (on my WS now)
[22:40] <ericus> Thanks KM0201
[22:40] <KM0201> ericus: no prob.. http://www.lubuntu.net    just try 11.10, since you seemed to have no problems with it... lxde has a very sexy simplicity to it
[22:42] <ericus> You don't have permission to access / on this server.
[22:42] <ericus> Apache Server at www.lubuntu.net Port 8080
[22:42] <KM0201> ericus: sorry, http://lubuntu.net
[22:42] <ericus> .org
[22:43] <KM0201> ericus: or join #lubuntu
[22:43] <Guest22817> An Adobe Flash plugin  keeps crashing FF I dont see anything in the last two updates that seems to be the cause
[22:43] <ericus> But KM0201... Question is, how well will it work with the Zenbook?
[22:44] <KM0201> ericus: you said ubuntu 11.10 worked fine on the zenbok, you just didn't like Unity... Lubuntu doesn't have unity, but has the 11.10 kernel, so my guess is, just fine
[22:44] <KM0201> ericus: just try a Live USB or something when you get home, it's actually very functional..
[22:44] <shivam7074> problem solve, goodnite from india!!!
[22:44] <ericus> Okay great KM0201, but I'll still have to compile my own kernel. But I'll give it a shot
[22:45] <KM0201> ericus: why would you do that if 11.10 works well?
[22:45] <fra> zykotick9:  solved
[22:45] <Zermanno> buntu-server
[22:45] <ericus> It works well with a patched kernel
[22:45] <KM0201> ericus: or wait till 12.04 (or use an alpha version of it, if that doesn't scare you, it has kernel 3.0.2 right now i think)
[22:45] <zykotick9> fra: nice
[22:45] <mobilenoob11> Thanks everyone! Gotta go
[22:46] <sun_devil> in vi,  what command would you use  to search for the word "biz" and replace with business ?
[22:46] <fra> zykotick9:  thank u and bye
[22:46] <KM0201> ericus: ok, so.. patched kernel in 11.04, or 11.10?
[22:46] <ericus> KM0201: patched kernel in 11.10 right now
[22:47] <ericus> hang on a sec, I'll book into my ultrabook
[22:47] <ericus> brb
[22:47] <KM0201> ok, well, if you patched the kernel on ubuntu 11.10, i can't imagine you having any trouble patching it in lubuntu 11.10, since i imagine that is all done by command line...
[22:47] <nkrypt> my update manager died after restarting to let updates install, how can i fix it?

[22:48] <zykotick9> !aptlock | nkrypt
[22:49] <ericus> ok here we go
 or try > open terminal and > sudo apt-get -f install
[22:49] <sun_devil> ok I was close i did  "%s/biz/business?g
[22:49] <sun_devil> ok I was close i did  :%s/biz/business?g
[22:50] <sun_devil>  :%s/biz/business/g I cant type
