[22:24] <robs2> Hello everyone!
[22:24] <robs2> I have a question I'm hoping someone might be willint to comment on
 Recently, I converted,  or attempted to conver an rpm package to debian by using alien.  However,  the resulting debian files did not contain a  .deb  extension.  And I cannot get the newly converted package to install.  Any ideas from anyone would be helpful.  thanks
[22:27] <pleia2> robs2: you'll want #ubuntu for support, we just write classes here :)
[22:27] <robs1> am back
[22:27] <robs1> write classes?  what's that
[22:28] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning
[22:28] <robs1> oic.  okay thank you


[02:41] <Unit193> holstein: FWIW, Drone` can and will ban you.  This though was simply too many nick changes so he was muted, which prevents more, for 5 minutes.
[02:42] <holstein> handy
[02:42] <Unit193> Yes, I like Drone`.
[02:42] <Unit193> I think notice to the channel is one it'll ban you for.

[02:06] <ElTimo> How can I stop Windows from settings itself to the highest boot priority every time I boot it? I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I don't know where else to go.
[02:09] <not_found> if you are choosing what OS to run from GRUB you can set the boot priority there... a quick search gives me this - http://askubuntu.com/questions/100232/how-do-i-change-the-grub-boot-order
[02:15] <ElTimo> not_found: It's actually completely bypassing GRUB. It's quite rude.
[02:19] <ElTimo> Not to mention unbelievably annoying.
[02:31] <ElTimo> Ok, the problem seems to be related to the fact that I have an entry for a previous Ubuntu install that confuses UEFI. How can I get rid of it?
[02:32] <not_found> ah I have no ideas when it comes to UEFI... I have been disabling it and booting legacy myself... hope someone else is up and has a clue
[02:43] <ElTimo> I /think/ I fixed it.
[02:43] <ElTimo> I had two entries for ubuntu, it turns out.
[09:57] <lordievader> Good morning.
[13:20] <dougl> I lost my bluetooth utility that was in the panel - does anyone know what it is called so I can get it back?
[13:23] <jussi> dougl: have you checked your bluetooth HW swith is on ?
[13:25] <dougl> jussi, no turned on my headset and it auto connected but there are more blutooth gizmos I have that do not auto connect
[13:25] <jussi> dougl: and it isnt in the little pop up part of the menu ?
[13:25] <jussi> err tray
[13:25] <dougl> jussi, no looked there too
[13:25] <natacus123> im looking for a good/easy to use IM client that works for yahoo/skype
[13:26] <dougl> natacus123, waht did google say?
[13:26] <jussi> dougl: right click the tray, system tray settings
[13:26] <natacus123> dougl: pidgin, which i hate
[13:26] <dougl> I use skype for ubuntu
[13:26] <jussi> natacus123: ktp ?
[13:27] <dougl> jussi looking now thanks
[13:28] <dougl> jussi, no mention of bluetooth in there
[13:28] <natacus123> jussi: dont know it , cant find it in repo
[13:45] <jussi> natacus123: it should be installed by default
[13:45] <BluesKaj> Howdy all

[16:57] <cgismyname> Hello, I'm having a peasky GUI problem.  Without touching the keyboard my windows randomly resize and move.  Sometimes my search bar (the one that comes up when windows key is pressed) randomly comes up too
[16:57] <cgismyname> a lot of times in vim or firefox this symbol (move window?) randomly comes up: http://imgur.com/p8ITmLL
[17:00] <Poisoned_Dragon> is this a desktop, or laptop?
[17:01] <cgismyname> laptop
[17:02] <cgismyname> I thought maybe the touchpad was maybe causing it.  But even when I'm not typing it happens.
[17:02] <Poisoned_Dragon> :(
[17:02] <cgismyname> (or not touching the computer at all)
[17:02] <Poisoned_Dragon> can you disable the touchpad with a keyboard shortcut?
[17:04] <cgismyname> yeah I'll give that a shot.
[17:04] <cgismyname> Do you know if it's common for swiping or other touchpad events to fire randomly?
[17:06] <Poisoned_Dragon> Well, lets prove what's what, first.
[17:06] <Poisoned_Dragon> if it still acts up with the touch pad off, it's possibly the kb.
[17:06] <Poisoned_Dragon> If it calms down, it was the touchpad.
[17:07] <Poisoned_Dragon> Whether that means it's off, or just over sensitive, google is your friend.
[17:07] <cgismyname> it just happened again when the touchpad was disabled.  This "Konversation" window just randomly resized
[17:07] <Poisoned_Dragon> Might be your kb firing keys.
[17:07] <Poisoned_Dragon> you would have to be savvy with taking laptops apart to prove it.
[17:08] <Poisoned_Dragon> if you can disconnect it internally, then plug in a usb. You would be able to know for sure.
[17:08] <Poisoned_Dragon> *a usb kb.
[17:09] <cgismyname> ah that's a good idea.
[17:10] <cgismyname> I'm going to try to disable all the window resizing shortcuts too...
[17:11] <Poisoned_Dragon> good idea

[22:16] <wolftune> is there a way to get multitouch on my *screen* to be recognized so I can use it for two-finger scrolling and such?
[23:02] <aPpYe> I am running KDE, built from ubuntu mini.  It is connected to a TV via HDMI.  Whenever the TV is turned off, it ceases all communication with the computer, so the computer seems to think the "monitor" has been unplugged.
[23:02] <aPpYe> This causes some programs to behave badly, since (i am guessing) there are no longer any X screens to output to.  For example, transmission-qt segfaults once the tv is powered off.  This only happens with this specific TV … Anyone know a workaround?

[22:51] <mikeobeda> by far.  and by changing file permissions using the chmod command, you'll be able to grant some folders access to specific users.  samba is the most flexible for sharing folders across several oses.  it takes a little while to get a full understanding of it, but once you know what you're doing, I find it's the greatest
[22:51] <sodas> zacku: apparently it is. I'm struggling to do that (dual-boot with Win7) atm
[22:51] <sasquatch1> Anyone know if it is possible to get airpwn to work on a WPA/2 network? If not is there similar software to accomplish this?
[22:52] <luxurymode> how can i install eclipse 3.6 classic in ubuntu?
[22:53] <Jordan_U> zacktu: Not really. Vista/7 both use a separate "system" partition for the bootloader but as long as you don't delet that thinking it's useless (which a surprising amount of people do) you should be fine.
[22:53] <Jordan_U> zacktu: Also, the Ubuntu installer will walk you through partitiong for dual boot automatically (and is known to work correctly with all versions of windows).
[22:54] <Dr_Willis_> zacktu:  its about the same from what ive seen. Win7 installs often have a 'boot' type partition. so One Win7 machine i have was  using 4 primary partitions.  I  put in a 2nd hd. to put linux on.
[22:54] <Dr_Willis_> zacktu:  so examine the win7 setup closely befor rying to install
[22:54] <embiopterid_> With some of the old framebuffer splash utilities it was possible to set console image backgrounds. Does plymouth fill do this or is this some other application now?
[22:54] <rusivi> murmurs: My first experience w/ Linux was also Red Hat (~ 2004) I found a glitch in gnumeric within a few minutes and told (naively) the person who introduced me to it at the time, "Have you heard of Windows? It doesn't have this problem." Not understanding how much money he saved per year on licensing cost avoidance. He just giggled at me as he was Ph.D. grad from Berkeley.
[22:54] <itaylor57> luxurymode: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE
[22:54] <Dr_Willis_> embiopterid_:  plymouth dosent use the framebuffer i thought it was using X.
[22:54] <Dr_Willis_> embiopterid_:  theres the fbset tools that may be able ot set the console wallpapers. (i hated that feature)
[22:54] <itaylor57> luxurymode: it shows how to install your own version
[22:54] <sodas> Any idea why installer doesn't recognize any partitions? (Windows is still working perfectly)
[22:55] <zacktu> i'm going to buy a laptop, so a 2nd disk isn't likely -- are all 4 partitions primary?
[22:55] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  pastebin the 'sudo fdisk -l' output perhaps.
[22:55] <philip_> aeon-ltd yes I can print txt but not PDF Thank you. I am new to XChat
[22:55] <embiopterid_> Dr_Willis: plymouth is using X? For sure?
[22:55] <Dr_Willis_> zacktu:  my new laptop - has 2 hard drives. :)
[22:55] <Dr_Willis_> embiopterid_:  theres Some reason Plymouht has issues with the Nvidia/ati drivers.. if its not using X. i cant imagine why it would be having the issues.
[22:55] <luxurymode> itaylor57: thank you. new to linux. how do i install the package?
[22:56] <mike123> sudo apt-get install fsarchiver does not work?

[22:56] <sodas> Dr_Willis: http://pastebin.com/R4rXFvEa
[22:56] <luxurymode> itaylor57: in package manager?
[22:56] <Dr_Willis_> zacktu:  on a low end Win7 desktop i bought on black friday. it was alrleady setup woth 4 primary partitions.. (very annoying)
[22:56] <maxflax> rusivi - I would have used the open source alternative if it could handle 3D good
[22:56] <itaylor57> luxurymode: scroll down to User Install in the link I sent you
[22:57] <embiopterid_> Dr_Willis: actually, the framebuffers for those didn't work and you always had to generic drivers like uvesafb. I will look it up.
[22:57] <philip_> aeon-ltd no it just wont print I just get an error.
[22:57] <luxurymode> itaylor57: awesome thanks
[22:57] <itaylor57> luxurymode: np
[22:57] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  looks like you have 3 primary partitions.  You could use windows to resize one of them and leave part of the HD unallocated.
[22:57] <zacktu> dr_willis: is 4 primary partitions all that are allowed?  so you can't just shrink them and create another?

[22:58] <Dr_Willis_> zacktu:  4 PRIMARY max.. one can be an extended. that holds logicals..

[22:58] <balbino> hahah jag skojade bara har nån en bajs korv till salu eller ?
[22:58] <balbino> hahah jag skojade bara har nån en bajs korv till salu eller ?
[22:58] <Dr_Willis_> zacktu:  so the Max would be like 3 primaries, one extended + lots of logicals in it.

[22:58] <mohamed> hi evrybody
[22:58] <mohamed> salut ts lmonde
[22:58] <sodas> Dr_Willis: That's what I originally did. The 3rd partition is actually the "unallocated" one. I only formatted it under the Live CD while trying to get it to recognize the partitions

[23:00] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  perhaps they have it partitoned.. oddly..
[23:00] <Dr_Willis_> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table
[23:00] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  you may need to do like it says. use gparted to resize them.
[23:00] <itaylor57> luxurymode: i would just do eclipse
[23:00] <GeekSquid> luxurymode: Did you know that freenode has an #eclipse channel?   /join #eclipse
[23:01] <sodas> Dr_Willis: I'm guessing that would involve wiping out my old partitions/data?
[23:01] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  no idea. Ive not used gpt.. reading that wiki page now its like the 'new' way to partition things. :) so that might be causing confusion.
[23:02] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  try gparted - use it to resize, and make a / and swap partition. then retry the installer I g uess.
[23:02] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  other then that. ive not ever had a similer proglem
[23:02] <aimio> my small laptop ideapad s10-2 the headphone jack wont work and i have tried the fix for it you have to add a line to the alsa config something something.. but it ain't working, inbuilt speakers work fine just no headphone jack. any ideas=?..
[23:03] <GeekSquid> aimio: try alsamixer to have more control on sound card
[23:03] <sodas> Dr_Willis: the resizing - would it mess up my current partitions/data? If not, anyway you could guide me through the process?
[23:03] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  when in doubt.. back things up..  you could use windows to do the resizeing.
[23:03] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  defrag,scandisk, backup... see if windows can resize.. if not try gparted.
[23:04] <sodas> Dr_Willis: I already resized with Windows. The 3rd partition was unallocated space that I created in Windows
[23:04] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  these days. i often just buy a 2nd hd for my new laptops to put linux on. I leave the windows HD in a secure place. :) and dont touch it.
[23:05] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  ahh.. so you can use gparted. and just delete the 3rd and make  an 3rd and 4th partition. one of type ext4 for / and one for swap.
[23:05] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  do that in gparted. then see if the installer sees them.
[23:05] <sodas> Dr_Willis: hehe yeah that might be the way to go, unfortunately i don't have space in my laptop to insert a 2nd HDD
[23:05] <sodas> Dr_Willis: how would I do that?
[23:05] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  boot gparted live cd. or ubuntu live cd. and intall gparted.
[23:06] <luxurymode> itaylor57: confused about the creating executable step. i opened nano, now what? how do i add the content?
[23:06] <sodas> Dr_Willis: gparted doesn't show ANY partitions. Only 1 huge unallocated space
[23:06] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  that is weird.  You could try a new gparted live cd. could be a bug in gparted.
[23:06] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:  or like that message said use that other tool.

[23:14] <The_Rufus> so it's booting, but not recording parity since there are only 4/5 drives in the RAID5 array
[23:15] <adstat> Samba is installed too
[23:15] <The_Rufus> i have /boot on a usb flash drive and / is on the RAID array
[23:15] <Dr_Willis_> adstat:  theres a 'issue' with connecting to windows 7 - if win7 has that 'windows live sign in assistant' installed..
[23:17] <GeekSquid> The_Rufus: Hardware Raid? or software raid? as in LVM
[23:17] <The_Rufus> S/W
[23:17] <The_Rufus> using mdadm
[23:17]  * Dr_Willis_ reads up on raid5 at -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels#RAID_5
[23:18] <Dr_Willis_> Performance problems can be so severe that some database experts have formed a group called BAARF — the Battle Against Any Raid Five.[12]
[23:18] <Dr_Willis_> :)
[23:18] <The_Rufus> hahaha
[23:18] <adstat> lol
[23:18] <The_Rufus> well, time-critical isn't an issue here, this is a home server
[23:18] <aimio> my small laptop ideapad s10-2 the headphone jack wont work and i have tried the fix for it you have to add a line to the alsa config something something.. but it ain't working, inbuilt speakers work fine just no headphone jack. any ideas=?..
[23:19] <Dr_Willis_> The_Rufus:  somthing is conruseing here.. You said you had a parity disk.. but   (quoteing) -->  RAID 5 distributes the parity data across the disks, while RAID 4 centralizes it on one disk,
[23:19] <The_Rufus> hmm
[23:19] <The_Rufus> either way, you lose one drives worth of space due to parity
[23:19]  * Dr_Willis_ dont know a lot.. Im just reading..
[23:20] <The_Rufus> it's a 10Tb array, but only 8tb will be useable
[23:20] <GeekSquid> The_Rufus: look at that section below where Dr_Willis_ posted the link.... Number of disks theoretically unlimited!
[23:20] <zinadork> Does anyone know how to get a synaptics clickpad  working?  I can't right click without a mouse.
[23:20] <mike123> dan louden
[23:21] <Dr_Willis_> GeekSquid:  we can raid the world!
[23:21] <cody_> hey, I accidentally remove the Volume icon from the toolbar, how do I go about getting it back?
[23:21] <shcherbak> GeekSquid: limited by number of blocks ;)
[23:21] <The_Rufus> hehe
[23:21] <zinadork> Not being able to right click is kind of a deal breaker
[23:21] <bastidrazor> cody_: the indicator_applet should be it
[23:21] <GeekSquid> Dr_Willis_: Now if we could just raid google, microsoft, apple and oracle... then we would have all the toys
[23:21] <The_Rufus> i've d/l pastebinit, how to use?
[23:22] <Dr_Willis_> Raid, then pillage! then Plunder the Booty!
[23:22] <bastidrazor> The_Rufus: pastebinit filename   or read the manpage.. man pastebinit
[23:22] <GeekSquid> The_Rufus: cat something | pastebinit
[23:22] <KM0201> The_Rufus: command | pastebinit
[23:22] <adstat> i should just put windows on this computer >.<
[23:22] <cody_> indicator_applet? what's that, i'll admit that i'm still fairly new to this.
[23:22] <bastidrazor> cody_: right click the panel > Add to Panel > Indicator Applet
[23:22] <Dr_Willis_> adstat:  i had 3 win7 machines causing issues. I removed that windows live sign in  thang from them. and they started playing nicely
[23:23] <brokendatapoint> how do i find out what version Ubuntu I am on?
[23:23] <KM0201> GeekSquid: i don't think you necessarily need cat for all commands, like lspci | pastebinit  will work fine
[23:23] <cody_> ah, thanks
[23:23] <bastidrazor> brokendatapoint: lsb_release -a
[23:23] <GeekSquid> brokendatapoint: lsb_release -a
[23:23] <bastidrazor> brokendatapoint: in a terminal
[23:23] <cody_> that restored the other thing I wanted fixed.
[23:23] <brokendatapoint> bastidrazor: thanks
[23:23] <GeekSquid> KM0201: just different options of doing the same thing
[23:23] <bastidrazor> brokendatapoint: you're welcome
[23:23] <KM0201> ya
[23:24] <brokendatapoint> bastidrazor: cmd not found
[23:24] <Dr_Willis_> brokendatapoint:  check your spelling.. ?
[23:24] <brokendatapoint> Dr_Willis_: haha, copy & paste
[23:24] <Dr_Willis_> brokendatapoint:  or use tab key to complete commands/names.
[23:24] <The_Rufus> damnit, how do you install it into the OS? i've un tar'ed it
[23:24] <sodas> Dr_Willis: you might want to know that I solved the problem with gdisk (upon Jordan_U 's suggestion) and saw that i had both MBR and GPT. Remove GPT and all good
[23:25] <Supertanker> Every so often Ubuntu decides that my huge home partition needs to be scanned at boot time, which takes about an hour and is extremely aggrevationg. I know how to disable, but I'd like to know--is it a *good* idea to disable it?
[23:25] <Dr_Willis_> sodas:   thats.. weird..
[23:25] <GeekSquid> The_Rufus: pastebinit.... untar... uh .. i said "sudo apt-get install pastebinit"
[23:25] <Dr_Willis_> Supertanker:  its supposed to auto check the filesystem every 30 mounts or so many days.
[23:25] <Supertanker> My CentOS EXT3 partitions do fine without boot scanning, or without such a long one, at any rate.
[23:25] <Dr_Willis_> Supertanker:   if its scanning mroe then that... you may be having some deeper issues.
[23:25] <sodas> Dr_Willis: old laptop, about 3 years. I have installed hackingtosh, Vista, Win7 and a few Ubuntu versions over time. Guess experimenting has it's costs
[23:25] <Dr_Willis_> Supertanker:  i wouldent disable it.
[23:26] <The_Rufus> GeekSquid: "Unable to locate package pastebinit
[23:26] <rumpe1> Supertanker, nope... better idea: don't mount every partition available at boot (just the ones you regularly need)
[23:26] <Supertanker> Dr_Willis_, no, it's about every 30 days--but I have several partitions, and all of them are large.
[23:26] <Supertanker> rumpe1, like my home partition? =P
[23:26] <Supertanker> That's the only one that could possibly be taking so long.
[23:26] <rumpe1> Supertanker, 10GB should be enough for home...
[23:26] <Dr_Willis_> Supertanker:  tune2fs can set the #'s of days and remounts.. I would set different FS's to be different # of days/remounts. so they all dont get scanned at the same time.
[23:27] <GeekSquid> The_Rufus: it is in the universe repository
[23:27] <Dr_Willis_> !info pastebinit
[23:27] <The_Rufus> sounds kinky
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> Supertanker: it is scheduled to scan very 30 mounts (I think it's 30), you can use hdparm (I believe) to set a higher value
[23:27] <p_res> 10GB for home? Not for intensive data use it wouldn't be.
[23:27] <Dr_Willis_> my /home/ is like 2TB :)
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> Supertanker: how large is your "huge home" partition?
[23:27] <ActionParsnip> Dr_Willis_: this could be a giggle...
[23:27] <The_Rufus> ok, how do you enable universe then?
[23:27] <brokendatapoint> bastidrazor: er my apologies ... was typing that into a Debian terminal not my Ubuntu, sorted thanks
[23:27] <rumpe1> p_res, you can always mount other partitions into /home ...
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> The_Rufus: in software centre
[23:28] <bastidrazor> brokendatapoint: :) cat /etc/release would work in debian
[23:28] <GeekSquid> The_Rufus: System>Administration>Software Sources
[23:28] <The_Rufus> O.o, that sounds awfully GUI ActionParsnip
[23:28] <brokendatapoint> bastidrazor: indeed
[23:28] <ActionParsnip> The_Rufus: its for a user, so yeah (are they running server?)
[23:28] <p_res> rumpe1: Yeah, but why not just make things easier.
[23:28] <chrisA1> 'lo all.
[23:28] <The_Rufus> did I mention I'm running Server ed with CMD line only?
[23:28] <brokendatapoint> too many terminal with too many SSH logins ...
[23:28] <Supertanker> ActionParsnip, . Dr_Willis_ . , rumpe1, I know how to disable/change the scanning frequency values, it's just insanely annoying to have to do it at all. Why is ext4 so radically different as to require this? My other distros, with ext3, do not seem to do more than a cursory check at boot to make sure the filesystem was unounted cleanly
[23:29] <Supertanker> ActionParsnip, about 200GB if I remember for this machine
[23:29] <Supertanker> I can't check because it is *STILL SCANNING*
[23:29] <GeekSquid> The_Rufus: no you didn't .... sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[23:29] <Supertanker> Might be bigger
[23:29] <Supertanker> It's been a long time since I set this machine up.
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> The_Rufus: i see, then run:  sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list    uncomment the lines with universe in them, press CTRL+X, Press Y, Press ENTER   then run: sudo apt-get update
[23:29] <rumpe1> p_res, depends how you define "easier" ... if you don't need your 2TB data daily, you don't need to mount the most of it daily...
[23:29] <ActionParsnip> Supertanker: i thought you were gonna say 10Tb or more, 200Gb isnt much dude
[23:30] <Supertanker> ActionParsnip, well, it sure takes its time scanning :)
[23:30] <bastidrazor> brokendatapoint: maybe you could set PS1 prompts for different colors.. i have each box with a different username color.
[23:30] <Supertanker> Incidentally
[23:30] <Dr_Willis_> Hmm. id think 200gb sould scan in just a few min. tops.
[23:30] <sinusoid>  i am trying to write a one liner to extract out of "HASH=(24F80B942FAECAF8546634CEFA6DF68B)"   what is between the ()
[23:30] <Supertanker> The hard drive light is not on for most of the scan.
[23:30] <The_Rufus> ./etc/apt/sources.list only has one line in it an nothing says universe
[23:30] <sinusoid> anyone know how to do it with grep?
[23:30] <Supertanker> It also gets incrementall slower as it approaches 90%, ActionParsnip
[23:30] <ActionParsnip> Supertanker: if its that big it sounds like its tiring, you can use hdparm to set a higher mount number before autoscan kicks in
[23:30] <Supertanker> Which makes me think that most of this scan is just bullturds.
[23:30] <Dr_Willis_> sinusoid:  perhaps sed/awk would be better.. i dont think grep does that.
[23:31] <ActionParsnip> sinusoid: I suggest you ask in #bash too
[23:31] <brokendatapoint> bastidrazor: not a bad idea, am using MRXVT and have been out of Ubuntu/Debian for a while ...
[23:32] <The_Rufus> think i might find a gun and sudo apt-get install bullets-in-skull
[23:32] <ActionParsnip> brokendatapoint: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Color_Bash_Prompt
[23:32] <p_res> rumpe1: Yeah but I'd be giving a little more than 10GB. This is 2010 (almost 2011 lol), data takes up a lot more space than it did 10 years ago.
[23:32] <jessec> gnome-session
[23:32] <wizardslovak> hello people
[23:32] <wizardslovak> how do i find chipset ?
[23:33] <chrisA1> I'm a noob setting up a file server with 10.10 Server as a learning exercise, trying to get wireless working. I'm trying to follow https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo . However, 'sudo ifconfig wlan0 up' dies and requires a soft reboot, while iwconfig reports that wlan0 exists.
[23:33] <nit-wit> lspci
[23:33] <shaggy2> Hello I have an issue installing Wedalizer, it requires libz however I can not install in via aptiude or aot-get
[23:33] <The_Rufus> wizardslovak: lspci
[23:33] <ActionParsnip> Therstrium: /etc/apt/sources.list    should look something like this: http://pastebin.com/z7C6qU9M

[23:33] <shaggy2> *Hello I have an issue installing Wedalizer, it requires libz however I can not install in via aptitude or apt-get
[23:33] <Dr_Willis_> !find libz
[23:34] <Dr_Willis_> libz seems a rather... minimal name....
[23:34] <brokendatapoint> ActionParsnip: thanks
[23:34] <shaggy2> witch one would I be installing dr_willis
[23:34] <GeekSquid> The_Rufus: ur, um .... that isn't right... apt won't work if there are no repos .... something strange going on here
[23:34] <p_res> coolpro: Mute perhaps!
[23:34] <ActionParsnip> chrisA1: run:   sudo iwlist scan | less     do you find access points?
[23:35] <GeekSquid> shaggy2: zlib1g is what you neede
[23:35] <shaggy2> thank you geeksquid
[23:35] <GeekSquid> shaggy2: if I said paonia would you know what I meant
[23:35] <bastidrazor> brokendatapoint: PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\[\e[0;32m\]\h\[\e[00;00;00m\]:\W\$ '    is mine for this laptop.. i mis-stated i change the host color
[23:36] <The_Rufus> i f%$king give up
[23:36] <mike123> sound
[23:36] <p_res> The_Rufus: What's up dude?
[23:36] <coolpro> p_res: I can't mute separately or don't find it how to do it. when I plug in my headset I don't want build-in speakers to sound anymore
[23:36] <chrisA1> ActionParsnip: lo and eth0 don't support scanning, and the wlan0 entry is, verbatim, "Interface doesn't support scanning : Network is down".
[23:37] <shaggy2> GeekSquid: apt-get command returned that zlib1g is already installed. yet I still cannot install webalizer
[23:37] <ActionParsnip> chrisA1: ok then run:   sudo lshw -C network    websearch the product line to find guides
[23:37] <p_res> coolpro: When you plugin headphones, it should automatically disable the built-in sound anyway. Does it not?
[23:38] <GeekSquid> shaggy2: sudo apt-get update then try try again
[23:38] <brokendatapoint> bastidrazor: using MRXVT it does not change the upper tab colour, they are red for inactive and blue for active
[23:38] <shaggy2> I done the update and upgrade last night
[23:38] <shaggy2> GeekSquid: I done the update and upgrade last night
[23:38] <coolpro> p_res: none of Linux distributions that i've tried did it. The older versions of Ubuntu had this option, and i was able to mute it seperately, the newest one is kinda different.
[23:38] <GeekSquid> The_Rufus: what happens when you sudo apt-get update
[23:38] <brokendatapoint> bastidrazor: thanks anyway will get it sorted, might even go to a WM instead of a full DM like KDE
[23:39] <GeekSquid> shaggy2: what version of ubuntu?
[23:39] <shaggy2> 10.10
[23:39] <p_res> coolpro: Very odd. Have not heard of that/
[23:39] <shaggy2> server
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> coolpro: is the system a laptop or branded pc, if so, what is the make and model please?
[23:39] <p_res> .
[23:39] <marion> is there a way to automaticaly dos xset -dpms whenever i log in
[23:39] <Dr_Willis_> marion:  .bashrc or .profile is one way
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> marion: add it in your startup items
[23:39] <ActionParsnip> !startup | marion
[23:39] <bastidrazor> brokendatapoint: that doesn't affect the tab color it changes the prompt color
[23:39] <coolpro> ActionParship: HP Compaq NC8230
[23:39] <shaggy2> GeekSquid: Ubuntu 10.10 Server
[23:40] <The_Rufus> I have built a server with 5 2Tb HDD's in RAID5. I have /boot on a usb flash drive and it boots fine. / is on my md0, but my RAID is degraded and a drive is missing. I've re-partitioned, re-formatted and rebuilt the array 3 times and therefore re-installed the OS 3 times. I'm about ready to blow my head off
[23:40] <brokendatapoint> bastidrazor: yes i know, i thought you were talking about tab colours, my bad
[23:40] <GeekSquid> shaggy2: no trouble here... um, you got any extra repositories? you may need to add universe and multiverse repos to get everything needed
[23:41] <bastidrazor> brokendatapoint: not a problem.  :)
[23:42] <brokendatapoint> messing with Cherokee on remote Debian Servers
[23:42] <ActionParsnip> coolpro: try:   options snd-hda-intel model=auto position_fix=1 enable=yes    in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf    may work
[23:42] <shawn146|ubuntu> is anybody using Maverick Meerkat?
[23:42] <GeekSquid> shaggy2: personally I use Google Analytics for webalalysis, little more powerful, and easyer to use
[23:42] <p_res> ActionParsnip: What if he's using Pulse.
[23:43] <coolpro> what is pulse?
[23:43] <ActionParsnip> p_res: it will still be used
[23:43] <p_res> shawn146|ubuntu: Yes, why?
[23:43] <shaggy2> GeekSquid: this is the ./configure message http://www.pastie.org/1418526
[23:43] <p_res> ActionParsnip: Fair enough.
[23:43] <shawn146|ubuntu> how do i access CLI?
[23:43] <GeekSquid> shawn146|ubuntu: yep ... and a good portion of us are... please ask your next question
[23:43] <shawn146|ubuntu> did :P

[23:45] <meco> Are there any somewhat fancy games in existence, graphically speaking, for Linux? Not that needs a lot of CPU/GPU power, but with nice, bright colors and details. Everything I've seen is kinda dull....
[23:45] <chris_osx> meco: tuxracer is legend
[23:46] <p_res> meco: In comparison to Windows native games, I've found Linux gaming is exactly that, dull!
[23:46] <adstat> Any ideas why Ubuntu 10.10 wont connect to Win 7 shared computer?
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> meco: try urban terror  or penumbra 9pid for but the demo is killer)
[23:46] <coolpro> ActionParsnip: should I run the command above in the terminal?
[23:46] <GeekSquid> I've just installed 10.10 on a Compaq Presario F700, everything works except the keymap... Some keys do not work, Like Left and Right arrows, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down... Any ideas as to getting these keys working?
[23:46] <brokendatapoint> adstat: cos it hates them?
[23:46] <ActionParsnip> adstat: http://thelinuxexperiment.com/linux/accessing-windows-7-shares-from-ubuntu-is-a-pain/
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> coolpro: not sure
[23:47] <shaggy2> GeekSquid: I was wanting to installing it for multible domains, for eg. www.dom1.net/admin/webalizer and www.dom2.com/admin/webalizer
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> adstat: it is caused by Windows live messenger
[23:47] <coolpro> ActionParsnip: it says: options: command not found.
[23:47] <ActionParsnip> coolpro: what are you trying to achieve??
[23:47] <jdimatteo> where is it documented what kernel(s) are used by Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Server Edition?
[23:47] <shawn146> ok that was not funny

[23:48] <shawn146> k
[23:49] <shawn146> whats f8?
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> meco: urban terror is like counterstrike but with wall jumping and is completely free
[23:49] <p_res> jdimatteo: Ok.
[23:49] <GeekSquid> shaggy2: webalizer is run against apache log files... so if you have a log file in /var/log/apache2/access.log for one domain then the virtual host on the second domain needs to have a place where the log file exists like /var/log/apache2/seconddomain/access.log ... which is configured in your virtual hosts file
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> shawn146: the key next to f7
[23:49] <p_res> shawn146|ubuntu: F8 is exactly that, F8
[23:49] <shawn146|ubuntu> ok
[23:49] <ActionParsnip> shawn146: think F2   ....F8
[23:49] <shawn146|ubuntu> thanks
[23:49] <shaggy2> ahhhh
[23:49] <p_res> You know your F8 key on the keyboard.
[23:49] <shawn146|ubuntu> f7 did it
[23:49] <shaggy2> okies thank you
[23:49] <KM0201> ActionParsnip: are you sure its f8?.. that doesn't work for me, its f7
[23:49] <Dr_Willis_> F8=F4x2
[23:49] <Dr_Willis_> :)
[23:49] <meco> ActionParsnip: Haha.. I have no idea what counterstrike is, but I'll check that one out also!

[23:53] <meco> ActionParsnip: Fine, I'll add that too. Can any of these be played with others online?
[23:53] <Cromag> ActionParsnip: what is that game ?
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> meco: urban terror is 100% online
[23:54] <shawn146|ubuntu> oh i liek that game
[23:54] <KM0201> Cromag: pretty cool shooter game   urbanterror.com
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> Cromag: urban terror
[23:54] <shawn146|ubuntu> *like
[23:54] <Cromag> oh
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> or add this repo: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/getdeb_games?dist=lucid
[23:54] <shawn146|ubuntu> but i was banned from many servers
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> and you can install as normal
[23:54] <meco> ActionParsnip: You don't mean an online game? Like browser?
[23:54] <ActionParsnip> meco: 3d online shooting, check some youtube vids out
[23:55] <p_res> shawn146|ubuntu: Main system files are located in /
[23:55] <meco> Ok,
[23:55] <shawn146|ubuntu> so i would type in "cd/media/os/Windows/System32/config"
[23:55] <shawn146|ubuntu> ?
[23:56] <p_res> shawn146|ubuntu: sudo cd /media/os/Windows/System32/config
[23:56] <ActionParsnip> shawn146|ubuntu: sure, use tab to complete the folder names, makes things easier and accurate
[23:56] <shawn146|ubuntu> no such file or directory, and tab didn't doa thing there
[23:56] <Cromag> so it's like counter strike, duke, quake ?
[23:57] <The_Rufus> OK interesting point. I have sda1, sdb1, (sdc1 is /boot on usb flash drive), sdd1, sde1 all partitioned according to fdisk as 2Tb each, and that makes up 4 of the 5 drives in the array. sdf has GUID partition table. Is this the reason my RAID isn't working?
[23:57] <p_res> shawn146|ubuntu: If you're running from livecd you'd have to use sudo command before the actual command, I think.
[23:57] <uberuser> yeh
[23:57] <p_res> shawn146|ubuntu: Is the drive mounted?
[23:57] <shawn146|ubuntu> yes
[23:57] <GeekSquid> shawn146|ubuntu: do cd /media  .... then ls to see what the mountpoint is
[23:57] <shawn146|ubuntu> i can access the drive with nautilus
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> Cromag: yes, its built on the unreal engibe, so has wall jumping
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> *engine
[23:57] <p_res> shawn146|ubuntu: cd to /media and then tab complete and ls from there to find where you're going.
[23:57] <Cromag> ah
[23:57] <michaelgamble> hey what do you call the task of creating automated script that tests the functionality of a beta app
[23:58] <michaelgamble> im having a crazy brain fart i know thier is a word for it
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> michaelgamble: case testing
[23:58] <uberuser> can anybody tell me how I can figure out what display driver I need to use, aside from the generic one ubuntu comes with?
[23:58] <C_Okie> are there good logic gate programs out there for ubuntu? I check logicsim and I can't end the wires
[23:58] <meco> ActionParsnip: When I added that repo, shouldn't I be able to install the game via Synaptic? I can't find it there.
[23:58] <p_res> Otherwise, ALT+F2 and type gksu nautilus and use Nautilus to do what you want to do.
[23:58] <ActionParsnip> meco: yes it will be available, are you running lucid?
[23:59] <meco> I don't know what lucid is
[23:59] <uberuser> 10.04
[23:59] <uberuser> lucid
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> meco: what does: lsb_release -a    output?
[23:59] <meco> 8.04
[23:59] <ActionParsnip> meco: ok its hardy
