[18:10] <TRiPTEC> how often do u guys udate?
[18:10] <TRiPTEC> update?
[18:10] <jimbozone> dli: ah ok, will that just add the selectable mode?  or will it just change it this once?
[18:10]  * KM0201 updates every 45min
[18:10] <NCS_One> TRiPTEC: when ever there is an update :)
[18:10] <wsagent> ActionParsnip:  thanks for your help, i imported the GPG key already but i still have problem to remove or change http://mirror.noreply.org  to maverick
[18:10] <TRiPTEC> NCS_One, not cumbersome?
[18:10] <ActionParsnip> wsagent: it will be in software centre or /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:11] <funkymonk> does SSL use PKI to encrypt the communication between the server and client
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> TRiPTEC: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -y upgrade
[18:11] <rhineheart_m> what's the fastest/lightest ubuntu desktop?
[18:11] <dli> jimbozone, if it works, you can add the xrandr to session autostart
[18:11] <NCS_One> TRiPTEC: no
[18:11] <ActionParsnip> TRiPTEC: i run it every day at midnight (cronjob)
[18:11] <dli> funkyHat, openSSL uses RSA key pairs
[18:12] <ActionParsnip> !away > MicroWolf|DINNER
[18:12] <wsagent> ActionParsnip: do you mean delete the line http://mirror.noreply.org    ???
[18:12] <rhineheart_m> I have machines with the following specs: pentium 4 with RAM of 128
[18:12] <funkymonk> dli i'm trying to understand how SSL and PKI fit in the bigger picture
[18:12] <dli> rhineheart_m, if you don't run X, 128MB is good
[18:12] <wasser> hi! i need some help setting up ubuntu. I made a clean installation and when trying to load unity/gnome session the system displays the background but not the bars and I cant do anything except call a terminal and start apps from there
[18:12] <rhineheart_m> dli: x desktop?
[18:13] <dli> funkyHat, RSA is one implementation of PKI
[18:13] <NCS_One> I have a HDD of 1TB with 1 partition of 500GB, is it possible, without losing data, to make the existing partition the all HDD size?
[18:13] <truepurple> ~ = /home?
[18:13] <truepurple> Is ~ the same thing as /home?
[18:13] <dli> NCS_One, ext4? it's possible
[18:13] <rhineheart_m> which has higher specs requirements? ubuntu or xp?
[18:13] <NCS_One> TRiPTEC: no
[18:13] <NCS_One> sorry
[18:13] <NCS_One> truepurple: no
[18:13] <funkymonk> dli: oh so SSL is just the protocol that uses a PKI to encrypt the message as in openSSL uses RSA
[18:14] <aeon-ltd> rhineheart_m: you could run X but it won't be fancy nothing like gnome, something sparse like openbox on top of a server install willprobably be 40-60Mb with nothing but the desktop running
[18:14] <truepurple> What is ~ short for then?
[18:14] <funkymonk> and RSA is a specific PKI
[18:14] <baeek> how can i make transmission download faster
[18:14] <NCS_One> truepurple: ~ = /home/username
[18:14] <baeek> hi btw
[18:14] <bsmith093> i am nearly flat broke, but all my backups are hosed except the primary drive in my laptop, and i really need to do a reinstall, so does anyone know where i can get ~250gb of ftp accessable storage on the dirt cheap, for like 2 days tops?
[18:14] <grimpirate> @ KM0201: It says xrandr failed to get the gamma output
[18:14] <aeon-ltd> baeek: you can't really it's 99% seeder dependant
[18:14] <grimpirate> Or rather it failed to get the gamma for the default output device
[18:14] <NCS_One> dli: ext4 (version 1.0)
[18:14] <baeek> aeon-ltd is there any better programs?
[18:15] <funkymonk> bsmith093: thats a shed load of "temp" space
[18:15] <dli> NCS_One, boot a livecd, do gparted
[18:15] <wasser> NCS_One, you can use the GParted that comes in ubuntu livecd
[18:15] <oCean> bsmith093: that's not an ubuntu issue
[18:15] <aeon-ltd> baeek: no all torrent programs are pretty much the same
[18:15] <funkymonk> dli correct?
[18:15] <NCS_One> dli: its a external HDD
[18:15] <baeek> i read about people making it faster
[18:15] <bsmith093> i realize that but even external hd are out of my price range
[18:15] <baeek> so thats not really true
[18:15] <dli> NCS_One, then, just umount everything of the HDD, run gparted
[18:15] <NCS_One> dli: it doesn't have the OS
[18:15] <oCean> bsmith093: try #ubuntu-offtopic, not here
[18:16] <bsmith093> alright already ill try there
[18:16] <wasser> NCS_One, you dont need the os in the HDD that you want to partition
[18:16] <baeek> how can i get it faster at all?
[18:16] <wasser> NCS_One, (or change)
[18:16] <aeon-ltd> baeek: heh nah that's not possible, you can probably get more consistent, but all speed changes are going to be firewall and router related (i.e opening ports)
[18:16] <rkhshm> i've noticed a weird problem ...
[18:16] <ActionParsnip> rhineheart_m: depends on what services will be running on each
[18:16] <baeek> how do i check the ports?
[18:17] <ActionParsnip> rhineheart_m: generally ubuntu will be lighter but it depends what apps and desktop you run etc
[18:17] <rkhshm> when i try to run certain videos over the browser i see that in the minimized mode
[18:17] <rkhshm> there is a lot of jittering
[18:17] <NCS_One> dli, wasser: soo I need to install gparted?
[18:17] <wasser> my gnome session is not starting after a clean installation of 11.04, any clues?
[18:17] <rkhshm> however it subsides soon after i hit full screen
[18:17] <wasser> NCS_One, it's already installed in ubuntu, just launch it from system menu
[18:17] <wsagent> ActionParsnip: thanks a lot your the real expert My problem got solved
[18:17] <baeek> how do I open ports in trasmission to get better downloads?
[18:17] <dli> NCS_One, if not installed already :(
[18:18] <rhineheart_m> just for browsing..I guess..mozilla is good to go..
[18:18] <NCS_One> its not, I have Disk Utility
[18:18] <grimpirate> Actually I have this guys exact same problem
[18:18] <grimpirate> https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+question/165202
[18:18] <baeek> how do I open ports in trasmission to get better downloads?
[18:19] <Calinou> they are automatically opened, upnp
[18:19] <ikonia> baeek: if you have download happening you already have ports open
[18:19] <Calinou> IIRC
[18:19] <grimpirate> Same laptop and everything
[18:19] <baeek> ikonia, i know, can i get it faster
[18:19] <aetas> grimpirate, almost looks like its TwinView splitting the laptop screen in half
[18:19] <baeek> ikonia, you know what i hate?
[18:19] <baeek> youtube covers -_-
[18:20] <M0wLaue> http://tiny.cc/zklti
[18:20] <Psydoll> hello! I have just done a fresh install of ubuntu and i installed vlc but its not playing a dvd in the drive even when i mount the dvd and select the drive within vlc itself...
[18:20] <grimpirate> @aetas: Yeah it's not just that, it sets the smallest resolution and then just flickers and such
[18:20] <Psydoll> am i missing drivers or codecs or something?
[18:20] <Psydoll> whats going on!?
[18:20] <ikonia> Psydoll: what's it actually doing ?
[18:20] <grimpirate> Plus the ghosty double images
[18:20] <Jordan_U> !dvd | Psydoll
[18:20] <ikonia> baeek: it may just be a limitation of your system
[18:20] <gulzar> I installed startupmaanger (gome application) in KDE so the download was big but now I removed it after the work is done. But there must be some unwanted packages left. How to remove them?
[18:20] <aetas> grimpirate, you check the monitor config to see if it has dual monitors set somehow?
[18:20] <NCS_One> dli, wasser: and I will not lose any data from the partition, correct?
[18:20] <grimpirate> No there's no other monitor set up
[18:20] <grimpirate> I went to the System menu and checked monitors
[18:21] <Psydoll> ikonia: its trying to play the dvd but cant
[18:21] <wasser> NCS_One, its always recommended to do a backup, but I never had trouble resizing
[18:21] <grimpirate> It's not detecting any
[18:21] <ikonia> Psydoll: any error ?
[18:21] <aetas> what about the Xorg config change that the guy in that thread recommends?
[18:21] <NCS_One> wasser: ok, thanks
[18:21] <Psydoll> ikonia: no none that i can see
[18:21] <cgermann> Psydoll try running "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras"
[18:21] <Psydoll> ok
[18:22] <ikonia> Psydoll: have you installed things such as lib-ccs as the link that Jordan_U sent to you suggest
[18:22] <cgermann> after that totem should play the DVD for you
[18:22] <ikonia> Psydoll: the libraries used for decyrpting the dvd
[18:22] <jimbozone> dli:  xrandr --output DFP1 --mode 1600x1200 --primary
[18:22] <jimbozone> gives me
[18:22] <dli> NCS_One, if choose to resize the partition, your data should be safe, but still better to backup first
[18:22] <jimbozone> xrandr: cannot find mode 1600x1200
[18:22] <Psydoll> ikonia: cgermann thanks i think its just something silly vlc is missing
[18:22] <wasser> hi gdm starts but my gnome session is not starting after a clean installation of 11.04, any clues?
[18:22] <dli> jimbozone, run xrandr without parameter
[18:22] <TRiPTEC> I changed something in compiz settings and now I dont have any handles and borders on my app windows what gives=
[18:22] <TRiPTEC> ?
[18:23] <ikonia> Psydoll: have you installed the decyrption libraries
[18:23] <kwvarga> how long should it take to repartition (resizing existing partion) from 500gb ext4 to 140/360gb
[18:23] <jimbozone> yep that mode is not there... how to add it?
[18:23] <edbian> TRiPTEC: Those are called window decorations.  Can you open ccsm right now?  Try turning the 'window decorations' plugin back on and restarting compiz
[18:23] <ikonia> kwvarga: no set time, depends on a lot of things
[18:23] <Psydoll> ikonia: no i dont think so?
[18:23] <aetas> kwvarga, such as how full the partition is
[18:23] <edbian> kwvarga: Did you erase the partition and then create a new blank one?
[18:23] <cgermann> ubuntu-restricted-extras should install libdvdcss2
[18:23] <Psydoll> yeah let me try that
[18:24] <ikonia> Psydoll: that is the most likly issue then,
[18:24] <kwvarga> no i had 500gb with ~100gb of data, resized that to ~150gb and created new partition with space gained
[18:24] <TRiPTEC> ok, they came back bot they dont "respond" should I killall compiz;compiz&; ?
[18:25] <grimpirate> ok, how about this, how do I set up the currently installed Ubuntu to load with the same options (possibly boot options) as the LiveCD?
[18:25] <grimpirate> Since the LiveCD does not produce this double-image flickering issue
[18:25] <truepurple> Any changes in anything in /home doesn't require password athentication, right?
[18:25] <edbian> TRiPTEC: If you're talking to me use my name plase :)
[18:25] <dli> grimpirate, as I mentioned, check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[18:25] <edbian> truepurple: that's the idea yes
[18:25] <grimpirate> yes I intend to do that dli, but what do I do once I have that file?
[18:26] <TRiPTEC> edbian, yeah sorry, so killall compiz;compiz&;?
[18:26] <truepurple> edbian: The idea? You mean it is not always that way in practice?
[18:26] <aetas> he means check it for errors
[18:26] <edbian> TRiPTEC: give killall and compiz a shot.  Additionally compiz --replace& might work too.  Or logging out and in.
[18:26] <edbian> truepurple: Well the permissions might be wrong.
[18:26] <Psydoll> cgermann: omg that restricted extras are about 150mbs
[18:26] <edbian> truepurple: It should always be that way.  I'm sure there are some crazy exceptions in the linux world somewhere.
[18:27] <cgermann> anyone know of a good How-to to get the screen brightness keys working on a asus U80 laptop
[18:27] <truepurple> edbian: Ah, I didn't understand what you meant by the permissions might be wrong, but that last answer I understood, thanks
[18:27] <edbian> truepurple: sure
[18:27] <aetas> cgermann, just out of curiousity, if you hit the key in your keyboard shortcut manager does it accept it?
[18:28] <cgermann> I am about to install open suse on this thing just to get functional keys.
[18:28] <ActionParsnip> cgermann: ubuntu isn't always the answer
[18:28] <seanmc98> i pull up my computer and it shows acer(C:\) data(D:\) both are 69.5gigs does that mean the hard drive is partioned?
[18:28] <Psydoll> cgermann: ive installed those restriced extras and it comes up with a blue screen like a disclaimer is that it all done?
[18:29] <ikonia> Psydoll: have you read the blue screen
[18:29] <cgermann> oh its a eula for the MS fonts just accept and let it keep going
[18:29] <ActionParsnip> seanmc98: use disk manager to check
[18:29] <NCS_One> dli: if I need to resize the partition where the OS is installed I have to use the live cd, right?
[18:29] <Psydoll> ikonia: yes i scrolled to the bottom
[18:29] <ikonia> Psydoll: ok - so what does that tell you
[18:29] <Psydoll> there is an ok button there but you can click on it or press enter
[18:29] <seanmc98> ActionParsnip: where do i get that at?
[18:29] <dli> NCS_One, you can not change anything mounted
[18:29] <NCS_One> dli: oh, right. Thanks
[18:30] <ikonia> Psydoll: ok...so......
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> seanmc98: rightclick my computer -> manage
[18:30] <dli> NCS_One, some FS supports resizing on fly (mounted) or mount time resizing
[18:30] <ActionParsnip> !away > xindzz`off
[18:31] <NCS_One> dli: ok, thanks
[18:31] <aetas> cgermann, you seen this one? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys
[18:32] <Psydoll> ikonia: cgermann ive installed the restricted extras and vlc still no luck
[18:32] <ikonia> Psydoll: what DVD are you trying to play ?
[18:32] <MangledBody> hi!
[18:32] <MangledBody> http://kecy.roumen.cz/Microsoft_product_which_does_not_suck.jpg O:-)
[18:32] <cgermann> ActionParsnip: Ubuntu my not always be the answer but sometimes we pick it for the big Repos :)
[18:32] <ikonia> MangledBody: please don't post that sort of nonsense here
[18:32] <seanmc98> ActionParsnip: the D:\ says healthy(primary partion)
[18:32] <Snarsh> using wordpress on a lamp i set up, when i go to the wordpress link in my address bar it attempts to download the .phtml file instead of showing the page, i added the type to the apache2.conf file so that it would run php but still no luck, restarted apache2 as well
[18:32] <ikonia> MangledBody: this channels for ubuntu support discussion.
[18:32] <ActionParsnip> !dvd | Psydoll
[18:32] <MangledBody> ikonia: Sorry... :(
[18:33] <cgermann> Aetas: ill take a look and see if i have
[18:33] <ikonia> Snarsh: you shouldn't need to add the type, that suggests you've not got php installed
[18:33] <semitones> Is it possible to re-enable the "are you sure you want to shut down? Shutdown automatically in 60 seconds" message with gconf
[18:33] <ActionParsnip> seanmc98: sure but is it on the same disk?
[18:33] <aetas> cgermann: it looked pretty relevant...a total pain in the rear but relevant
[18:33] <Snarsh> i did sudo ae2mod php5 and it says the module is already installed
[18:33] <cgermann> yeah i tryed this one :)
[18:34] <aetas> Snarsh, how do you have PHP bound to accept those types?
[18:34] <cgermann> aetas: tryed that one recall it not working
[18:34] <ikonia> Snarsh: how did you install lamp ?
[18:35] <aetas> cgermann: aw...
[18:35] <ActionParsnip> seanmc98: the guys in ##windows will have a better idea and is where your OS is supported
[18:35] <Snarsh> i installed apache2, installed php5, installed mysql and set up a database, then downloaded the missing packages which allowed them to communicate with each other
[18:35] <ikonia> Snarsh: as in through the ubuntu package manager ?
[18:35] <cgermann> Ubuntu actually reconises what the keys are supposed to do (becuse the screen brightness HUD appears) it just does not change the setting
[18:35] <Snarsh> synaptic, i did cli for apache2, php5, and mysql
[18:36] <spill> anyone have experience enabling upnp with shorewall on maverick server?
[18:36] <Jordan_U> Psydoll: You really need to read the link given to you. You need more than restricted-extras to play DRMd DVDs.
[18:36] <trism> semitones: if you are using ubuntu classic, both the shutdown applet and the shutdown command in the panel menus still has the 60 second timer, the shutdown command from indicator-session doesn't have the option as far as I know
[18:36] <Psydoll> Jordan_U: im reading it now and trying to install the librarycss but the command line doesnt let me
[18:36] <aetas> Snarsh, so you mean its a default apache2 / php install?  nothing special?
[18:36] <Psydoll> Jordan_U: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install libdvdread4
[18:36] <Psydoll> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
[18:36] <Psydoll> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[18:37] <ikonia> Snarsh: ok, so create a file called test.php in the document root, and do <?php phpinfo(); ?> in the file, then view that file in the browser through the web server
[18:37] <ikonia> Psydoll: you already have the package manager open
[18:37] <ikonia> Psydoll: close the package manager
[18:37] <Snarsh> it was initially, then i downloaded the php-apache package
[18:37] <jimbozone> dli: seems I have to set the resolution to the smallest of the two monitors (they are different monitors with different native resolutions)
[18:37] <jimbozone> which sucks
[18:37] <aetas> Snarsh, libapache2-mod-php5?
[18:37] <ActionParsnip> Psydoll: close software center
[18:37] <Snarsh> yes, that one
[18:37] <dli> jimbozone, what do you mean about 'have to'/
[18:38] <aetas> Snarsh, ok.  can you go into your config and find the section for php and msg me what you have?
[18:38] <Psydoll> ActionParsnip: ikonia i closed it now i get ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install libdvdread4

[18:38] <pandote> hello  i have a little problem..
[18:38] <ActionParsnip> jimbozone: if you use an xorg.conf file you can set them as you wish
[18:38] <ikonia> Psydoll: you've been here long enough to know not to paste.
[18:38] <pandote> i desinstall unity in ubuntu 10.10
[18:38] <jimbozone> dli:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#How_to_setup_a_dual_monitor
[18:38] <semitones> trism: ok that explains why I can't see any options for a counter in indicator-applet. Thanks. I'll try to find their webpage and ask them directly
[18:38] <Snarsh> aetas: which directory/file? if you are talking about apache2.conf there is no php in the file
[18:39] <ikonia> Psydoll: you have a package manager still open, you need to close all package managment software
[18:39] <rgb247> I have a question: I used readfile function to get the file content of a .flv file which are not located under webroot to play this
[18:39] <pandote> and then all are in white
[18:39] <aetas> Snarsh, if you are using the default file then it should actually be in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf
[18:39] <rgb247> in player, the file doesn't work, anyone know what mime types I need to config for that?
[18:39] <spill> anyone have experience enabling upnp with shorewall on maverick server?
[18:39] <trism> semitones: there is a bug, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-session/+bug/548415
[18:40] <semitones> great, I'll go make a comment :)
[18:40] <tfdev> Anyone?
[18:40] <aetas> Snarsh, when you get it make sure you post it in a msg or pastebin it
[18:40] <Psydoll> ikonia: i dont have anything open other and the terminal, irssi and a brower, still i get the same error
[18:40] <jimbozone> dli: its only since attaching the 2nd (lower-res) monitor that I can't select the 1st monitor's native res
[18:40] <jimbozone> it auto-set it to that of the 2nd monitor
[18:40] <dli> jimbozone, can you run xrandr?
[18:40] <aetas> jimbozone, thats usually because you dont have the correct mode set and its set to mirror the first monitor
[18:40] <ikonia> Psydoll: probable best to reboot just to make sure
[18:40] <Psydoll> ikonia: good idea

[18:44] <cgermann> munzx:I dont think unity supports that yet you have to put it on the launch bar
[18:44] <aetas> Snarsh, ok, then your problem is somewhere in there.  we'll have to work with that
[18:44] <ASKidwai> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11068285#post11068285 <--- need help
[18:44] <jimbozone> dli: http://paste.ubuntu.com/648465/
[18:44] <spill> need help enabling upnp with shorewall on maverick server, anyone?
[18:45] <munzx> cgerman : i am using classic gnome!
[18:45] <ActionParsnip> munzx: I've dragged apps to unity. Feels weird though
[18:45] <aetas> Snarsh, do "ls -l" on your public_html dir and tell me what the permissions, owner and such are set on it as well as your php file
[18:45] <cgermann> munzx:now that is just weird.
[18:46] <Snarsh> 777 recursively, with owner and group set to my user name
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> Spill: try in #ubuntu-server too
[18:46] <cgermann> Unity feels as responsive in dragging as my granny's Buick
[18:46] <dli> jimbozone, xrandr --output DFP2 --mode 1440x900 --primary --output CRT2 --mode 1280x1024 -r 75 --below DFP2
[18:46] <munzx> cgermann : it's just in my laptop ... home desktop is fine!
[18:46] <john_rambo> there's  this app which lets send/receive files between 2 PCs .. WHats the name of the app ? I forgot
[18:46] <aetas> Snarsh, actually I dunno why I didnt see this earlier.  your php config file has userdir disabled for php files
[18:46] <spill> k, thanks ActionParsnip
[18:46] <ActionParsnip> Snarsh: with 777 the owner is moot
[18:46] <jimbozone> dli: ok, but the primary mode I want is 1600x1200
[18:46] <aetas> Snarsh, disable the IfModule userdir block
[18:47] <Voz> #caruaru
[18:47] <munzx> i thought that maybe ubuntu tweak missed some of the settings ! .. but i couldt find anything to prove that!
[18:47] <john_rambo> a nfs/ samba alternative
[18:48] <aguitel> i am trying to install ubuntu 11.04 ,but when the instalation advance it try to make update with servers and it never end ,anyway to install with no updates ?
[18:48] <dli> john_rambo, sshfs
[18:48] <ActionParsnip> john_rambo: sshfs using openssh-server
[18:48] <jimbozone> dli: so the issue is that 1600x1200 isn't listed as a mode
[18:48] <jimbozone> (which is the native mode of the monitor)
[18:48] <Snarsh> there it is, worked that time, they disable php in userdir to avoid security risks?
[18:49] <munzx> so any clue guys!?
[18:49] <aetas> Snarsh, yeah, its bad since it gives everyone on the system php access
[18:49] <aetas> Snarsh, (with the default config anyway)
[18:49] <john_rambo> dli, ActionParsnip The tool I was talking about was GUI based ....sshfs ??
[18:50] <john_rambo> is*
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> munzx: what is your issue?
[18:50] <dli> john_rambo, nautilus of gnome can do ssh/ftp/samba
[18:50] <john_rambo> dli, Okay
[18:50] <munzx> i cant drag and drop icons "shortcuts" from application menu !
[18:50] <Snarsh> ok thanks for the help, i figured everything else out and its up and running
[18:50] <ActionParsnip> john_rambo: sshfs gives a secure file transfer and also an sftp service
[18:51] <munzx> cgermann : i cant drag and drop icons "shortcuts" from application menu !
[18:51] <diwic> #ubuntu-classroom
[18:51] <ActionParsnip> munzx: drag them where!?
[18:51] <aetas> Snarsh, most welcome
[18:51] <munzx> to my desktop!
[18:52] <cgermann> ActionParsnip: he is trying to create desktop shortcuts to applications
[18:52] <ActionParsnip> munzx: well you never said did you...
[18:52] <munzx> cgermann clearfied what i want to say! :)
[18:53] <codehotter> I cannot edit /etc/network/interfaces : operation not permitted
[18:53] <ActionParsnip> munzx: just right click desktop and create a launcher to run what you want. I've not dragged to desktop before
[18:53] <codehotter> is this normal? I am logged in as root, I have permissions to the file, and it's not made immutable
[18:54] <cgermann> i am lost on the issue because i always just used Alt F2 to launch programs
[18:54] <ActionParsnip> Codehotter: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
[18:54] <jimbozone> dli:  xrandr --output DFP2 --mode 1440x900 --primary --output CRT2 --mode 1280x1024 -r 75 --below DFP2
[18:54] <jimbozone> xrandr: screen cannot be larger than 2560x1050 (desired size 1440x1924)
[18:54] <munzx> ActionParsnip : it works fine (drag & drop) on my desktop pc but not in my laptop!
[18:55] <aetas> codehotter, can you paste the "ls -l" line for the file?
[18:55] <jimbozone> dli:  and running:  xrandr --output DFP2 --mode 1600x1200 --primary --output CRT2 --mode 1280x1024 -r 75 --below DFP2
[18:55] <jimbozone> xrandr: cannot find mode 1600x1200
[18:55] <cgermann> consistency thy name is not GNOME

[18:55] <munzx> ActionParsnip : i can create launcher but it's just odd to do that everytime! :(
[18:55] <ActionParsnip> Codehotter: root login is disabled so you will more than likely be logged in as your user.

[18:58] <MicroWolf> will www.cx.com work under wine?
[18:58] <MicroWolf> If not, is there another free service that has 10GB space?
[18:58] <ActionParsnip> Codehotter: logging in as root is a really bad idea
[18:58] <aetas> codehotter, and whoami shows root?
[18:59] <codehotter> aetas: whoami shows root. id shows id=0, gid=0, groups=0
[18:59] <spill> I bneed help enabling upnp with shorewall on maverick server, anyone?
[18:59] <ActionParsnip> MicroWolf: dropbox have various price plans
[18:59] <aetas> codehotter, one sec, lemme look at something
[18:59] <cgermann> MicroWolf: sadly CX integrates with explorer.exe and probably will not work Under wine
[19:00] <MicroWolf> ActionParsnip: Paying isn't an option as I'm only 14 and don't have a card, my Mum won't pay for that....
[19:00] <MicroWolf> cgermann: damn.
[19:00] <johnny_walker> i accidentally removed applications from ubuntu sidebar how can i restore it?
[19:00] <cgermann> Microwolf: your just trying to move files from one machine to another?
[19:00] <ActionParsnip> MicroWolf: if you have a desktop pc you can make your own :-)
[19:01] <MicroWolf> cgermann: No, I'm backing up stuff....
[19:01] <MicroWolf> ActionParsnip: how?!
[19:01] <MicroWolf> That would be perfect
[19:01] <aetas> codehotter, only other ideas I have is if maybe selinux is disabling access or if you have the mount point mounted as readonly
[19:01] <codehotter> aetas: mount shows it's mounted as rw, /selinux is empty
[19:02] <codehotter> I would expect /selinux to have files if selinux was active
[19:02] <aetas> codehotter, what is the reason that you need to change it?  just curious if there's another problem that may be related
[19:02] <cgermann> MicroWolf: i have used this for back up for ages its dated but still works and is in the repositories http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison
[19:02] <codehotter> aetas: want to create a bridge interface on boot
[19:02] <jakemp> I am pressing something that shifts all of my virtual desktops in one direction, how do I undo this?
[19:03] <tfdev> http://paste.ubuntu.com/648471/ <<< Help a nub with his first linux install? Sorry if txt did not flow correctly.
[19:03] <MicroWolf> cgermann: thankyou
[19:03] <ActionParsnip> MicroWolf: install openssh-server and you can securely work on your files remotely. Just set up a port forward on your router and you can access the data as long as the system is on
[19:03] <aetas> codehotter, I would say try creating a file in this directory to see if it lets you
[19:03] <Treyno> Ok, long shot, Best OS for python development?
[19:04] <codehotter> aetas: "touch test" creates an empty file named test without problems.
[19:04] <codehotter> aetas: in /etc/network that is
[19:04] <MicroWolf> ActionParsnip: that's great :D
[19:04] <johnny_walker> if i accidentally deleted the application button on ubuntu sidebar how would i get it back?
[19:04] <cgermann> MicroWolf: it syncs data between multiple systems its sloppy and not as sexy as "Cloud storage" but works
[19:04] <aetas> codehotter, what about "echo '#' >> /etc/network/interfaces"
[19:04] <oCean> !best | Treyno this is not a discussion channel.
[19:04] <MicroWolf> k cgermann
[19:04] <codehotter> aetas: no error, but the # does not appear in the file
[19:05] <ActionParsnip> MicroWolf: then you have all the storage space on the system you connect to
[19:05] <MicroWolf> yeah thats awesome
[19:05] <MicroWolf> ActionParsnip: I could even use an old laptop
[19:05] <Treyno> I thought linux was os, and im tied to asking particular questions in particular places and following rules
[19:05] <aetas> codehotter, if you pwd is it showing you the correct path?
[19:05] <Treyno> n1 contradiction
[19:05] <cgermann> johnny_walker: find it in the "dash" than drag it back to the sidebar :)
[19:06] <codehotter> aetas: pwd shows '/etc/network'
[19:06] <ActionParsnip> johnny_walker: how do you mean "application button"?
[19:06] <johnny_walker> yes actionparsnip
[19:06] <johnny_walker> cgermann where is the dash?
[19:06] <MicroWolf> ActionParsnip: problem with that is sharing public links....what about an FTP server? I've heard and viewd things on them, but I'm not sure how to set one up, or even the principle of one
[19:07] <ActionParsnip> MicroWolf: sure. Old hardware make great fileservers
[19:07] <cgermann> johnny_walker:its that big thing that pops up when you hit the ubuntu button :)
[19:07] <codehotter> aetas: I had forgotten to escape the #, I actually get the error "-bash: interfaces: Permission denied" when trying the echo
[19:07] <Tinfoil> Is it possible to install Ubuntu without internet connection?
[19:07] <Discovery> yes
[19:07] <MicroWolf> Tinfoil: yeah, i did
[19:07] <aetas> codehotter, ok, thats more reasonable
[19:07] <cgermann> johnny_walker: type in the name off the app you lost and drag the icon back
[19:07] <Tinfoil> Where would I locate missing files?
[19:07] <MicroWolf> ActionParsnip: I've gotta old win 95 (originally, now win2000pro) laptop, I could use that
[19:07] <johnny_walker> ahah it wont let me drag and drop any of the icons..........cgermann
[19:07] <MicroWolf> oh wait
[19:08] <MicroWolf> ActionParsnip: it doesn't have wifi card. damn.
[19:08] <ActionParsnip> MicroWolf: ftp is bad for security, especially for wan facing stuff. For lan its ok otherwise use sftp
[19:08] <cgermann> johnny_walker: it should it is just sloppy
[19:08] <MicroWolf> sftp?
[19:08] <tfdev> http://paste.ubuntu.com/648471/ <<< any help much appreciated. Sorry if txt did not flow correctly.
[19:08] <cgermann> another way is just to launch thae application
[19:08] <cgermann> johnny_walker: another way is just launch the application
[19:09] <cristian> CRISTIAN78
[19:09] <aetas> codehotter, the only other thing I can think of right now is if the filesystem isn't clean or its 100% full it won't write to it but I don't think those cases return permission denied
[19:09] <johnny_walker> oh no i meant the button to see all applications cgermann
[19:09] <aetas> codehotter, what filesystem is it on anyway?
[19:09] <Guest82803> CIAO
[19:09] <johnny_walker> cgerman: you must of thought i was retarded lol
[19:09] <Guest82803> QUI SON NUOVO
[19:09] <szal> !it | Guest82803
[19:09] <cgermann> johnny_walker: oh the applications lenz!
[19:09] <codehotter> aetas: my / is 5.0% full (has 9.0 GB free). The filesystem is ext3
[19:10] <szal> !caps | Guest82803
[19:10] <johnny_walker> cgerman: ahah yeah
[19:11] <cgermann> johnny_walker: looking for a fix
[19:11] <johnny_walker> cygerman: thanks
[19:11] <ActionParsnip> Tfdev: did you md5 test the iso you downloaded?
[19:11] <aetas> codehotter, hrm
[19:12] <codehotter> aetas: /proc/modules is empty. (?) Is this normal?
[19:12] <cgermann> johnny_walker: thread on ubuntu forums just says reboot http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=5&ved=0CDUQFjAE&url=http%3A%2F%2Fubuntuforums.org%2Fshowthread.php%3Ft%3D1745458&rct=j&q=ubuntu%20Unity%20lost%20applications%20button%20&ei=WygnTst4objQAbq50MAK&usg=AFQjCNG3IlrgEz7-oqhnGnkczodctYeepA&sig2=D5e5d743TnROzlka9izcdg&cad=rja
[19:12] <ActionParsnip> codehotter: try being your user and use sudo as the OS is designed
[19:13] <tfdev> ActionParsnip: no, and update: i ran ubumtu from usb this time around and finally got it to boot after ~20 min of error scroll
[19:13] <aetas> codehotter, no, unless somehow you have a kernel that doesn't need modules or has them all compiled in
[19:13] <tfdev> Trying to install
[19:13] <cgermann> johnny_walker: better url http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1745458
[19:13] <codehotter> aetas: any harmless module I can try to modprobe to see if it shows up?
[19:14] <ActionParsnip> Tfdev: then how do you know it was complete and error free?
[19:14] <johnny_walker> cgerman already tried restarting it i deleted it from http://www.techdrivein.com/2011/06/how-to-remove-lenses-from-ubuntu-1104.html
[19:14] <aetas> codehotter, try parport
[19:14] <johnny_walker> cgerman: i deleted it with this information used right click move to trash and it didnt give me the option to restore it in the trash
[19:14] <codehotter> aetas: yep, shows up fine
[19:15] <aetas> codehotter, its showing up in the list now?
[19:15] <Tinfoil> Dmraid-udev failed to copy on install. DVD check passed. Ram test passed. No internet available.
[19:15] <codehotter> aetas: yes parport shows up in lsmod and /proc/modules after I modprobe it. There are still no other modules
[19:15] <ActionParsnip> tfdev: have you also tested your ram health using the install media?
[19:16] <aetas> codehotter, do "ls -ail /etc/network/interfaces" and "sudo ls -ail /etc/network/interfaces" and see if the number is the same
[19:16] <the_fool> anyone know how to change twofinger tap on track pad back to a middle click rather then a right click?
[19:16] <tfdev> ActionParsnip: ultimately i didn't. Downloading 700 megs, i tend to hope for the best. Is there a utility with the ubuntu install that lets me check ram health?
[19:16] <ActionParsnip> codehotter: is the partition mounted writable?
[19:16] <codehotter> aetas: both commands have the same output: 17292 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 347 2011-07-19 19:46 /etc/network/interfaces
[19:17] <TRiPTEC> is there a way to reset compiz and unity??
[19:17] <cgermann> johnny_walker:i would remake the applications.place http://pastebin.com/sZWwBCaL is the content of that file
[19:17] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | tfdev hope isn't sufficient
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> TRiPTEC: reset in what way?
[19:18] <johnny_walker> cgerman: great idea i will try that now and tell you if it works
[19:18] <codehotter> ActionParsnip: /proc/mounts shows /dev/xvda1 / ext3 rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,barrier=0,data=ordered 0 0
[19:18] <tfdev> Thanks for being patient. Ive never had to run an md5 checksum before. Looking into it...
[19:18] <ActionParsnip> codehotter: did you try using sudo as your user?
[19:18] <cgermann> johnny_walker:I copyied  the content out of my file hopefully they are the same
[19:19] <johnny_walker> cgerman: wow really appreciate it man
[19:19] <codehotter> ActionParsnip: No.
[19:19] <thauriswulfa> HELP: How to switch keyboard in firefox between ENGLISH and X language?
[19:19] <ActionParsnip> codehotter: worth a try.
[19:19] <TRiPTEC> ActionParsnip, I changed to rotating cube and then I got a few q's about collisions and I just answered ;) and now the unity menu doesn't showup and I cant start any programs or anything, I had to go to prompt and install fluxbox and kill x to get here
[19:20] <johnny_walker> cgermann: wow really appreciate it man
[19:20] <aetas> ActionParsnip, I figured that would probably work too but I'd still like to know why his normal user can't do it
[19:20] <codehotter> aetas: ActionParsnip: While checking the mounts, I have discovered 'none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs'. It contains a folder 'apparmor'. I am now googling 'apparmor linux'
[19:20] <cgermann> johnny_walker: No problem
[19:20] <TRiPTEC> I'd like to "reset to default"
[19:20] <aetas> codehotter, oooo...that looks like a winner
[19:21] <ActionParsnip> aetas: his "normal user" is root. He enabled the account and logged on. Fun and games
[19:22] <aetas> ActionParsnip, I use it if Im working with something although I don't run actual programs with it
[19:22] <aetas> well, on a non-server anyway
[19:23] <ActionParsnip> codehotter: could always boot live cd and edit the file there. I suspect apparmor is stopping you as the OS is not designed to have root logging in, nor is it needed.
[19:23] <johnny_walker> cgermann: oh also if you wouldnt mind do you know how to get an icon for zenmap
[19:24] <aetas> I'd have to agree with Action on this one
[19:24] <ActionParsnip> aetas: sudo -i  lets you use root-like stuff but keep the actual root account locked
[19:24] <tamran> hi all, I'm curious if I've got a vanilla Ubuntu 11.04 install and I want to run (and test) KDE ... will it be a gigantic mess without removing gnome and unity components?
[19:24] <AlexDevilLX> Any advanced ubuntu tutorial?
[19:25] <tamran> I'm trying to avoid a situation where too many competing services start up when the computer boots ... which would bog everything down
[19:25] <codehotter> Didn't know about sudo -i. Is it preferred over sudo su -?
[19:25] <ThinkT510> !manual | AlexDevilLX
[19:25] <ActionParsnip> codehotter: yes
[19:25] <johnny_walker> does anyone know how to get an icon for zenmap?
[19:25] <AlexDevilLX> Any linux testing?
[19:25] <codehotter> ActionParsnip: why?
[19:26] <edbian> tamran: It will be a bit of a mess but it will be usable.  You'll have a lot of apps that do the same thing.  The services might be very similar but even if they provide the same functionality they won't conflict / crash.
[19:26] <aetas> codehotter, cause it lets you keep the account locked so no one can actually login to it directly
[19:26] <tamran> edbian: is there a way to make certain services not run if I choose one desktop login over the other?
[19:26] <ActionParsnip> codehotter: its an (i)nteractive sudo session and is closer to if you run each command prefixed with sudo
[19:27] <tamran> edbian: I mean, I could manually kill them I guess, but if I'm using KDE it'd be nice to be running a tighter kde
[19:27] <edbian> tamran: Sure, System -> Preferences -> Statup
[19:27] <tamran> edbian: thanks for responding
[19:27] <codehotter> aetas: makes sense.
[19:28] <zykotick9> edbian, those technically are not "services".  tamran
[19:28] <codehotter> aetas: You've probably had this discussion before, but why do you prefer I don't login with root?
[19:28] <ActionParsnip> codehotter: does: gksudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces    work as your first user?
[19:28] <edbian> zykotick9: true :)
[19:28] <edbian> tamran: sure.
[19:28] <codehotter> ActionParsnip: First of all, this is a console session, not a graphical session. Surely you don't believe I would start my graphical shell as root?
[19:28] <aetas> codehotter, its more about what its being used for
[19:28] <edbian> codehotter: If someone wrote some malicious code and you ran it they code would be able to do much more as root rather than  just you.
[19:29] <dr-willis> codehotter:  seen it done befor :)
[19:29] <edbian> they could*
[19:29] <aetas> codehotter, like me, Ill hop into it if I need root access for awhile but I won't run programs  and "use" the account
[19:29] <edbian> codehotter: This includes some things you might not think about like java in the browser.
[19:29] <tamran> I have two more questions: 1) KDM vs GDM (I like KDM much better), but if I decide to run gnome is that going to be another mess? 2) What is the proper install package to install KDE? (one is kubuntu-desktop and other is KDE)
[19:30] <boehme> Anybody on handy with mounting problems?
[19:30] <ActionParsnip> codehotter: you run EVERY process as root if you log in as root. Web browsers, email clients, everything. So a malicious web script will get full system access and can run riot on your OS
[19:30] <dr-willis> biggest danger i see to a system in here are typos while root.
[19:30] <GreenDance> Hi
[19:30] <edbian> tamran: KDE does not require KDM and vice versa
[19:30] <allowoverride> agrees with edbian but it does require an Xserver
[19:30] <edbian> tamran: Just like gnome does not require GDM.  the gnome and kde packages are meta packages that include a bunch of gnome and KDE stuff respectively
[19:30] <zykotick9> tamran, "kde" is the debian packages.  kubuntu-desktop is a more Ubuntuized package.
[19:30] <johnny_walker> does anyone know how to add icons to an application in ubuntu 11.04
[19:30] <tamran> edbian: well, KDM is much nicer IMHO ... I can do theming and such a lot better
[19:30] <codehotter> ActionParsnip: you missed the part where this isn't a graphical shell, and I'm administrating the system, using another system - one with a graphical shell - to check the web and my email.
[19:31] <tamran> zykotick9: ok, so KDE is a bit tighter?
[19:31] <zykotick9> tamran, ?  you'd have to test.
[19:31] <edbian> tamran: sure, use whichever you like :)
[19:31] <edbian> What makes a DE 'tight'?
[19:31] <aetas> boehme, just ask
[19:31] <tamran> edbian: well, it's nicer (my pref).
[19:32] <boehme> alright... Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with:
[19:32] <boehme> mount: according to mtab, /dev/sdb1 is already mounted on /
[19:32] <boehme> mount failed
[19:32] <aetas> he means pretty
[19:32] <aetas> like a little girl
[19:32] <ActionParsnip> codehotter: basically logging on as not root gives huge security which you gutted from your OS. The fact that you are asking WHY its bad shows your ignorance and is exactly why you should NOT log on as root and re-disable the account
[19:32] <aetas> boehme, so mtab says its mounted but its actually not?
[19:32] <boehme> yep
[19:32] <zykotick9> tamran, don't be surprised if the "kde" package fails, I know "gnome" does.  So kubuntu-desktop might still be what you use.
[19:32] <aetas> boehme, what partition type?
[19:33] <johnny_walker> join #web
[19:33] <Eighteens> i want to rotate my desktop as a sphere, currently i can only rotate as a cube, does that mean my video card isn't powerfull enough? because i don't see the option in compizconfig settings manager
[19:33] <boehme> aetas: The partition is a fat32
[19:33] <edbian> codehotter: Why does code need a gui to be malicious?
[19:33] <AlexDevilLX> 10/20 on linux quiz good or bad result for rookie?
[19:33] <aetas> boehme, what about cat /proc/mounts?
[19:33] <tamran> zykotick9: kubuntu-desktop on top of vanilla ubuntu install?  I'm guessing it'd be a mess?
[19:33] <zykotick9> Eighteens, you need the extra fusion packages, and then it's deformations in ccsm.
[19:34] <Eighteens> zykotick9: thank you
[19:34] <zykotick9> tamran, not really
[19:34] <edbian> tamran: It's only a 'mess' in that lots of apps are installed.  Many of them do the same thing.  one for gnome and one for KDE.  It works fine other than that.
[19:34] <codehotter> edbian: I'm not executing anything except stuff that came out official ubuntu repositories.
[19:34] <aetas> codehotter, basically just do what you want with your computer but know the consequences of using it.  thats mainly it
[19:35] <tamran> edbian: oh, so it won't try and run gnome services and kde services at the same time?
[19:35] <codehotter> aetas: that's fair. I like to know what I'm doing, but I can't for the life of me figure out why I can't write to /etc/network/interfaces
[19:35] <ActionParsnip> codehotter: its not the apps themselves. Its what others can do to those apps
[19:35] <boehme> aetas: ummm I dont really understand the output but I dont see anything about sdb1
[19:35] <codehotter> aetas: grep -r interfaces /etc/apparmor.d/ returns only a comment
[19:36] <codehotter> ActionParsnip: what do you mean others can do to those apps? What apps? Apps in the official ubuntu repos can have malicious code?
[19:36] <edbian> codehotter: It's like a firewall.  You could either default allow and selectively pick stuff to close or default deny and selectively pick stuff to open.  default deny is more secure.  the same is true in running as root.  You might accidentally delete a file or do something as root that you ment to do as a user.  And what if someone was logged on as you via ssh or otherwise?
[19:36] <aetas> boehme, yeah probably not mounted then.  um...have you tried running a check against the partition to see if its still ok?
[19:36] <edbian> tamran: I am not sure.  Even if it did they would not cause problems with each other.  I am working on a machine that has gnome, kde, xfce, ice, and a few others installed right now.  Everything works fine :)
[19:36] <DexterF> hi
[19:36] <AlexDevilLX> 1c 2a 3d 4a 5b 6e
[19:37] <codehotter> edbian: I don't use this system as a normal user. It's a server. The only reason to login to it is for administration. There is no chance of confusion.
[19:37] <aetas> codehotter, Im assuming you mean grep -r interfaces /etc/apparmor.d/* ?
[19:37] <edbian> codehotter: ssh bruteforce?
[19:37] <aetas> codehotter, lemme look it up
[19:37] <tamran> ok, one last question
[19:37] <edbian> tamran: sure :)
[19:37] <DexterF> I need to install a custom script to run at boot time. where is a good place and whats the method in Upstart to put it there and have it survive upgrades?
[19:37] <boehme> aetas:I get File system check on (the partition) completed. File system is NOT clean.
[19:38] <AlexDevilLX> 1c 2a 3d 4a 5b 6e 7a 8e 9b 10a
[19:38] <edbian> codehotter: http://matir.wordpress.com/2007/08/14/running-as-root-its-really-not-okay/
[19:38] <tamran> KDM, with gnome (unity) ... what would that do for the memory load?
[19:38] <edbian> codehotter: That's just the first hit from google
[19:38] <aetas> codehotter, you need to look at those rules more closely...they have a lot of wildcards in there so its probably just filtering out all of /etc/network
[19:38] <oCean> AlexDevilLX: do you have a support question?
[19:38] <boehme> aetas: not really sure what that means, but I do know I've had this error before and it has magically fixed itself and I've been able to mount in both ubuntu and windows before
[19:38] <reagle> Hello everyone, I'm trying to migrate from encfs to ecryptfs. Everything is working well, I can even mount my directories as user (specified in fstab and u/mount is 's'). *However* I can't umount those partitions *unless* I had mounted them with the '-i' option. Why would that be?
[19:39] <aetas> boehme, yeah you need to scan it, it means the partition has errors....sometimes they will fix themselves especially if this is a windows partition and you boot it up
[19:39] <vlt> Hello. I'm a new Ubuntu user. Where can I find my clipboard history?
[19:39] <rannmann> Is there a way, without root/sudo, to change the default editor (for the user, not the system)?
[19:39] <Ali__> hello!
[19:39] <boehme> there a specific command for that? not to familiar with these sorts of problems
[19:40] <ikonia> rannmann: EDITOR=/usr/bin/vim for example
[19:40] <vlt> rannmann: Maybe by exporting $EDITOR (don't ask me how).
[19:40] <vlt> rannmann: what ikonia says ;-)
[19:40] <tensorpudding> rannmann: default in what way?
[19:41] <boehme> aetas: is there a specific command for that? I'm not too familiar with these sorts of problems
[19:41] <tamran> here is a question about unity.  The side panel seems nice and all ... but is there a way to put that in the top panel?
[19:41] <rannmann> ikonia: In .bashrc?  Because I tried that both with alias and export and it doesn't seem to be working.
[19:41] <aetas> boehme, hold on
[19:41] <Eighteens> zykotick9: thanks that did the trick, rotates as a spere now, thanks for the tip! however it took away the option to rotate as a cube... any ideas, only rotates as a spere now
[19:42] <Eighteens> s/spere sphere
[19:42] <zykotick9> Eighteens, sorry I've never run into that issue before.  You might want to try asking in #compiz if you don't get an answer here.  Best of luck.
[19:43] <ThinkT510> rannmann: did you log out and back in after editing .bashrc
[19:43] <Eighteens> zykotick9, ok, thanks again
[19:43] <Ali__> sorry, i wanna unzip a file in my ssh but system always can get what i want foe example i waned to unzip this file rio fa .zip but it can't  what should i do?
[19:43] <aetas> boehme, try "apt-get install testdisk"  I haven't used this one but it looks like it may work.  The easiest solution is letting Windows do it or using a Windows boot cd
[19:43] <zykotick9> Eighteens, WAIT to use cube just disable deformation
[19:43] <rannmann> ThinkT510: I did, and I also used source .bashrc.
[19:44] <Eighteens> zy, i just dont see the option for cube anymore, and after i installed it, only rotates as sphere, i will look again
[19:44] <spow> Hi. I have a device under sdb, and I need it to be sdc. How can I move it there ?
[19:44] <zykotick9> !tab > Eighteens
[19:44] <zykotick9> Eighteens, turn off deformation, and it will revert to the default, Cube
[19:44] <boehme> aetas: testdisk only seems to see my DVD drive and none of my partitions or physical hard drives
[19:44] <Eighteens> zykotick9, ok will do, thanks again
[19:44] <ChrisBuchholz> Hey guys. Is it possible to change the Super-key behavior in Unity from reacting when the key is down till when its actually pressed down and released? It annoys me that it reacts on keydown, because then you cant use it for any other shortcuts, but you can if it uses a regular keypress event
[19:45] <vlt> Ali__: What exactly did you do trying to unzip it?
[19:45] <tfdev> http://paste.ubuntu.com/648519/ I did an md5 with winmd5free and it matched. On windows now so I can reply quicker. Thanks.
[19:45] <ThinkT510> spow: why do you need it to be sdc?
[19:45] <boehme> aetas: wait forgot to sudo... checking now
[19:45] <codehotter> edbian: Thanks, I set up rate limitting on ssh connections. I had forgotten about ssh bruteforce attack.
[19:45] <spow> ThinkT510: some script I launch (not mine) uses a hardcoded sdc I believe
[19:46] <aetas> boehme, its probably that but if its not, you can pass in the device name
[19:46] <edbian> codehotter: ha :)
[19:46] <edbian> codehotter: sure
[19:46] <codehotter> aetas: it's not filtering out everything in /etc/network since I can create files there
[19:46] <Ali__> vlt:: a zip file like this xxx xxx.zip
[19:46] <vlt> ThinkT510: Sounds like very bad (and dangerous) script design.
[19:46] <vlt> Ali__: You did a zip file?
[19:46] <codehotter> aetas: I grepped for 'network' as well and don't see anything
[19:47] <ThinkT510> vlt: my thoughts exactly, shouldn't hardcode paths like that
[19:47] <aetas> codehotter, can you pastebin it
[19:47] <spow> ThinkT510: I managed to move it today when sdb crashed, the device then appeared as sdc and I was able to run the script
[19:47] <codehotter> aetas: pastebin what, exactly?
[19:47] <Ali__> vlt:: yeah, with this , unzip xx xx.zip
[19:47] <aetas> codehotter, the file obviously :)
[19:47] <vlt> Ali__: Try to put the file name in quotes.
[19:47] <Eighteens> zykotick9, you were right, i turned off or unchecked "enable cube reflection and deformation" and it's back to cube mode, thanks that worked, nice to have both options... much appreciated your input
[19:47] <codehotter> aetas: I have figured out how to disable apparmor (put it in complain mode, that is). No luck, still permission denied.
[19:48] <acicula> spow: id guess you could do it with a udev rule?
[19:48] <szal> Ali__: on the terminal you need to escape certain characters such as whitespaces..  try tabbing the filename, that should do that for you
[19:48] <danger89> Plzzzzz tell me why "Ubuntu" disabled "Snap" feature in Unity2d!??!
[19:48] <boehme> aetas: OOOH damn... mixed up my harddrives sda1 my storage(the partition I'm trying to mount) and sdb1 is where I've got ubuntu installed...
[19:49] <tfdev> http://paste.ubuntu.com/648519/ << help a nub install linux for the first time? md5 checked out.
[19:49] <acicula> codehotter: maybe its just a user permission problem?
[19:49] <aetas> codehotter, what was the command you used to disable it?
[19:49] <aetas> nah, we've been through all that
[19:49] <boehme> aetas: I've got this line in fstab "/dev/sda1       /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1"
[19:49] <codehotter> aetas: I tried aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/* and invoke-rc.d apparmor teardown
[19:49] <zykotick9> Eighteens, glad to help.
[19:49] <codehotter> aetas: neither worked
[19:49] <aetas> boehme, why is sda1 set to ext4 if thats your fat32 partition
[19:49] <szal> tfdev: pastebin is not for asking questions but to supply additional information
[19:49] <sdwrage> Hey all
[19:50] <sdwrage> is there a fix for the flash settings dailog yet?
[19:50] <edbian> tfdev: It's having trouble reading the hdd.  Can you disconnect the hdd and try to boot and see if that helps to confirm?
[19:50] <sdwrage> using ubuntu 11.04
[19:50] <edbian> tfdev: pictures are fun btw :)
[19:50] <boehme> aetas: thats a great question... and probably a large part of my problem...
[19:50] <aetas> codehotter, do this one and try it "sudo invoke-rc.d apparmor kill"  if that doesnt work then its something else
[19:50] <codehotter> acicula: my user (root) has permissions on /etc/network/interfaces as shown by ls -l /etc/network/interfaces: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 347 2011-07-19 19:46 /etc/network/interfaces
[19:50] <aetas> boehme, fdisk -l
[19:50] <Ali__> szal:: what do you mean? what should i do with this kind of files?
[19:50] <danger89> really, why should the snap feature in Unity2D be disabled? This is a great feature.. you cant just disable that :|
[19:51] <codehotter> aetas: kill is not an accept action, but I did 'stop' and 'teardown'. apparmor is disabled now.
[19:51] <klevison> anyone can helpme with my teamviewer? Appears a black screen :(
[19:51] <klevison> no one can access my computer.
[19:51] <danger89> klevison: sure
[19:51] <danger89> id pass -> private
[19:51] <aetas> codehotter, weird...that came from the docs
[19:51] <tfdev> edbian: yeah sorry, had no other way to screenshot :) Im on a laptop so no... disconnecting the hard drive is kind of difficult. I was checking my partitions prior to install and saw something strange. Give me a second and I'll paste a screenshot.
[19:52] <edbian> tfdev: How were you checking your partitions?

[19:54] <jackster> okay thx for this info and bb hf
[19:54] <jackster> and keep cool the oterś
[19:54] <rannmann> So I updated crontab, printenv EDITOR shows "vim", but when I do crontab -e, it opens in nano still.
[19:54] <aetas> boehme, ok yeah thats the problem unless you're passing in the mount type to your mount command
[19:55] <aetas> boehme, change it to fat32 in your fstab file and then try to mount it again
[19:55] <ocx> i have included /home/shared *(rw,sync) in my /etc/exports, but when mouting i am getting a readonly nfs fs
[19:55] <ocx> cant write
[19:55] <ocx> what can be the problem
[19:55] <acicula> rannmann: maybe it needs a full path?
[19:56] <kubanc> in ubuntu 11.04 is the command "sudo apt-get install cups" enough to install CUPS?
[19:56] <maco> kubanc: having installed ubuntu shouldve been enough to install cups
[19:56] <ThinkT510> !find cups
[19:57] <sdwrage> Does anyone know if the flash settings dialog has been fixed so that it isn't invisible in browsers? Can't do anything with my webcam.
[19:57] <rannmann> acicula: Just tried it.  Didn't help.  :(

[19:57] <ParkerR> Hehe. It's fun to stretch firefox across all the workspaces XD
[19:57] <kion> How do I update to the latest kernel?
[19:57] <aetas> ocx: it could be mounted on the other end as ro
[19:57] <acicula> rannmann: whats the output of suda aa-status, also what is the problem you are experiencing?
[19:57] <edbian> tfdev: What is unusual about this?
[19:58] <dli> kion, upgrade in software-center
[19:58] <rannmann> acicula: I don't have sudo access.  This is a shared webserver.
[19:58] <ocx> i have /home/private mounted as ro and want /home/shared to be rw
[19:58] <acicula> kion: eh you can build custom kernels from source, but its probably not needed
[19:58] <ocx> aetas
[19:58] <ThinkT510> !latest | kion
[19:58] <dli> kion, and of course, you have to reboot after new kernel installed
[19:58] <codehotter> acicula: every program. In particular, I want to use 'mv' /root/interfaces to /etc/network/interfaces
[19:58] <ParkerR> dli, why would you use software center to upgrade our kernel?
[19:58] <rannmann> acicula: I'm just trying to change my default editor to vim.  It should be working, but when I crontab -e, it opens in nano.
[19:58] <ParkerR> *your

[19:58] <gispita> hello to everyone !
[19:58] <kion> dli: I meant the latest within Ubuntu
[19:58] <acicula> codehotter: you need root permissions to do that
[19:58] <codehotter> aetas: there is nothing useful in /var/log/auth.log or kern.log.
[19:59] <tfdev> edbian: the unallocated space was originally a primary boot partition with nothing on it. I dont remember partitioning it... just a little strange to me
[19:59] <ParkerR> kion, press alt + f2 then gksu synaptic
[19:59] <acicula> rannmann: try /usr/bin/vim instead of vim
[19:59] <codehotter> acicula: id shows uid=0,gid=0,groups=0, whoami shows root
[19:59] <tfdev> edbian: I deleted it to make use of it
[19:59] <aetas> codehotter, actually when you run that command he gave you does it show any processes in enforce still?
[19:59] <rannmann> acicula: I already tried that.
[19:59] <codehotter> aetas: No. everything says 0
[19:59] <acicula> codehotter: then just run aa-status to show you the status

[20:00] <ParkerR> No

[20:03] <gispita> thanks
[20:03] <codehotter> Please be friendly instead of bashing fedora users. This is not 'ubuntu' spirit.
[20:03] <fabzor3> no worries
[20:03] <goodtime> its not your usual password
[20:03] <uabn93> Hi, the top border isnt showing up when opening an app. it happened after trying to enable compiz cube. I tried "compiz --replace" but that didnt work. any suggestions?
[20:03] <p0s3isd0n> hello everyone
[20:04] <fabzor3> yeah sorry fedora is cool
[20:04] <fabzor3> im sayinf different package managers
[20:04] <edbian> uabn93: Do you have ccsm installed?
[20:04] <aetas> codehotter, I was focusing mainly on things that could happen in a normal install but with them doing the install, they could have some custom security step
[20:04] <ocx> idmapping: failing
[20:04] <dli> uabn93, something like gtk-window-decorator ?
[20:04] <ocx> got this error for nfs4
[20:04] <edbian> uabn93: The border is called 'window decorations'
[20:04] <uabn93> edbian: yes
[20:04] <Noobuntu> Guise, I just installed the base command line, how can I get the sexy unity and other GUI things?
[20:04] <codehotter> aetas: yea, I'll contact them
[20:04] <edbian> uabn93: Go to the window decorations plugin
[20:05] <goodtime> i forgot how to install my ati graffics lol
[20:05] <aetas> codehotter, that kernel looks like it comes from linux-virtual
[20:05] <ParkerR> goodtime, what Ubuntu version? And if Unity turned on?
[20:06] <goodtime> i have 10.10 right now
[20:06] <codehotter> aetas: it could be.
[20:06] <codehotter> aetas: there are no hints in /proc/cpuinfo as to what the hypervisor is. Information on the website says xen paravirt
[20:06] <ParkerR> goodtime, ok System > Administration > hardware drivers
[20:06] <SSetoo> hi
[20:07] <goodtime> im hooked up to a wireless adapter
[20:07] <tfdev> edbian: windows chkdsk came back with 0 problems
[20:07] <aetas> codehotter, actually I never asked but what are you trying to change in that file anyway?
[20:07] <uabn93> edbian: and re-enable it? what should i do if that doesnt fix it?
[20:07] <goodtime> it says that there is no propritary drivers
[20:07] <tfdev> edbian: i see that you're busy, please take your time and get back to me when you can, thanks!
[20:07] <ParkerR> goodtime, hmm then try google
[20:08] <codehotter> aetas: you did ask. The answer was: automatically create a bridge interface on boot
[20:08] <goodtime> i need to ues the terminal
[20:08] <goodtime> use*
[20:08] <goodtime> ok
[20:08] <aetas> codehotter, I was looking more for the changes but thats ok :)
[20:08] <edbian> tfdev: ok, that's good.  Can you boot without the hdd in?
[20:08] <uabn93> edbian: I even tried to use metacity but that didnt work
[20:08] <edbian> uabn93: re-enable it and then compiz --replace&
[20:08]  * edbian forgot to scroll down :P
[20:08] <codehotter> aetas: I want to add an additional interface to be created on boot
[20:09] <edbian> uabn93: Is it enabled and compiz --replace& doesn't fix it?
[20:09] <codehotter> aetas: I need to edit /etc/network/interfaces for this
[20:09] <trism> codehotter: did you check if the file was set immutable? lsattr /etc/network/intefaces (look for i)
[20:09] <edbian> tfdev: I'm here :)
[20:09] <codehotter> trism: yes, it was.  Some of my drives which have data files are NTFS. I'm realizing that linux is screwing some files/directories which are in the ntfs drive. Sometimes a directory becomes a 0 byte file when I return to it a day or so later.. sometimes files just disappear. What's happening ?:-|
[20:09] <codehotter> trism: I had remember immutable, but had assumed ls -l would show it. Thank you for saving my day.
[20:10] <aetas> that was it?
[20:10] <codehotter> yep.
[20:10] <edbian> tfdev: I'm not sure that chkdsk checked anything more than the windows partition
[20:10] <aetas> how'd that even get set
[20:10] <Soothsayer> edbian, hey mate!
[20:10] <codehotter> aetas: don't know, and don't care ; )
[20:10] <aetas> lol
[20:10] <uabn93> edbian: well im using a different login account to connect to irc bcause even that is giving me a headache..so ill disconnect and get back to you
[20:10] <tfdev> edbian: i was wonering the same thing...
[20:10] <edbian> Soothsayer: hello :)
[20:10] <edbian> uabn93: ok
[20:10] <edbian> tfdev: Yeah.  It's not good that random partitions showed up
[20:10]  * chalcedny smiles
[20:11] <codehotter> Thank you everybody for your time.
[20:11] <tfdev> edbian: k im going to shut down and disconnect hard drive. Ill reconnect on my phone so I may be slow to respond.
[20:11] <edbian> tfdev: no worries
[20:11] <edbian> codehotter: sure
[20:11] <climbe2> anyone know what this means:
[20:12] <edbian> it means ronqbc joined and fabzor3 quit
[20:12] <climbe2> ./init: line 7: can't open /dev/sr0: No medium found
[20:12] <chalcedny> question: has anyone used Maruson power supplies with ubuntu? i have had APS
[20:12] <climbe2> unable to open /dev/sda
[20:12] <edbian> climbe2: The liveUSB or liveCD can't find itself!
[20:12] <ronqbc> could anyone help? when i leave my computer alone it freezes. what can i do?
[20:12] <climbe2> how is this possible?
[20:12] <edbian> climbe2: unable to open /dev/sda means it can't find the hdd
[20:12] <edbian> climbe2: Is this a usb or a liceCD ?
[20:12] <edbian> live*
[20:12] <climbe2> I am unable to load any kernel versions
[20:13] <climbe2> this is a usb
[20:13] <climbe2> but the CD does not work either
[20:13] <edbian> climbe2: plug the usb into a different port
[20:13] <edbian> climbe2: particularly one that is not on a hub or anything like that
[20:13] <aetas> climbe2, the first one means that sr0 drive doesnt have a cd
[20:13] <aetas> is it a scsi cdrom?
[20:13] <armin291> hi
[20:14] <armin291> ho are you ?
[20:14] <edbian> aetas: he's using a liveUSB
[20:14] <aetas> ah
[20:14] <ocx> need help

[20:14] <edbian> ocx: with what
[20:14] <ocx> cant create an nfs share READ/WRITE
[20:14] <armin291> hi all?

[20:15] <dr_willis> ocx:  what filesystem is the share on?
[20:15] <ocx> when i mount it is being readonly
[20:15] <ocx> not read/write

[20:15] <dr_willis> ocx:  sounds like typical permissions not set right issue
[20:15] <edbian> ocx: Does your user have permission to view the files on the server? (local)
[20:15] <ocx> yes
[20:15] <ronqbc> edbian, no. it's just locking the screen. it doesn't really freezing. the mouse still moves. what can i do?

[20:18] <mang0> How do I uninstall virtual box?
[20:18] <edbian> ronqbc: alt + sysrq (sometimes called print screen) + k    not all keyboards have a sysrq key
[20:18] <SSetoo> hello
[20:18] <edbian> mrdeb: yes :)
[20:18] <SSetoo> i have got a problem with ubuntu
[20:18] <popey> DrDamnit: looks like it was removed not failed
[20:19] <SSetoo> can you help me
[20:19] <edbian> SSetoo: yes, but you have to ask the question first
[20:19] <SSetoo> h
[20:19] <DrDamnit> popey: Checked cables. It's still plugged in. Do I need to "re-add" it to the array?
[20:19] <SSetoo> super
[20:19] <edbian> ronqbc: what about ctrl + alt + F1 ?
[20:19] <popey> DrDamnit: what does /proc/mdstat contain?
[20:19] <mang0> !ask > SSetoo
[20:20] <DrDamnit> popey: http://pastebin.com/A1e9L0SV
[20:20] <mang0> How do I uninstall virtual box on ubuntu? I tried it out and I don't want it any more...
[20:20] <SSetoo> well my question is about ubuntu 11.04 and the workspaces it has got 4 workspaces, 2 virtual 2 horizontal
[20:20] <popey> DrDamnit: yeah, re-add it in, see if it works
[20:20] <DrDamnit> popey: command for that?
[20:20] <popey> DrDamnit: anything in /var/log/messages about the disk?
[20:20] <edbian> SSetoo: I think you mean 2 vertical, 2 horizontal
[20:20] <SSetoo> yes
[20:20] <edbian> SSetoo: That is not a question though :)
[20:20] <ronqbc> edbian, what?
[20:21] <SSetoo> and if a window is between two desktops
[20:21] <edbian> ronqbc: hahaha, can you press ctrl + alt + F1   ?
[20:21] <DrDamnit> popey: "md: kicking non-fresh sda from array!"
[20:21] <SSetoo> it maximizes on the desktop where it is most
[20:21] <mrdeb> ok
[20:21] <popey> DrDamnit: interesting
[20:21] <austinbv> is it possible to install firefox 3.x on ubuntu 11.04?
[20:21] <edbian> SSetoo: someone came in here the other day.  That's the intended behavior
[20:21] <SSetoo> edbian: how to workaround it ?
[20:21] <popey> DrDamnit: sudo mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sda
[20:21] <edbian> SSetoo: move your windows onto your desktop :)
[20:22] <DrDamnit> popey: sudo mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sda
[20:22] <mang0> Ahem, how do I uninstall something that's not from synaptic or software center? I want to uninstall virtual box...
[20:22] <SSetoo> edbian: sorry that is not a possible solution for me
[20:22] <DrDamnit> popey: maybe it's a bad cable. going to swap cables. and try again. I'll be back in a few minutes.
[20:22] <edbian> SSetoo: I don't know of any other! :(
[20:23] <DrDamnit> popey: or maybe not. fdisk -l sees it.
[20:23] <pappa_bear> which should i buy, Hacking Linux Exposed or The Linux Bible 2011?
[20:23] <aetas> mang0, what'd you install it with?
[20:23] <edbian> mang0: virtual box is in the repos.  But how did you install it?
[20:23] <mang0> I used terminal I think
[20:23] <mang0> is it in the repos?
[20:23] <edbian> mang0: Can you be more specific
[20:23]  * mang0 looks again
[20:23] <rww> !ot | pappa_bear
[20:23] <edbian> mang0: it is yes
[20:23] <aetas> he means hes going to have to manually remove it :p
[20:23] <pappa_bear> that is an ubuntu related question
[20:24] <pappa_bear> if i wanted to ask windows users i'd have gon to their channel
[20:24] <edbian> mang0: It's in universe  (but this probably won't help us remove it)
[20:24] <climbe2> although i cannot boot from any ubuntu kernels, is there at least a way to save my files and re-install?
[20:24] <rww> pappa_bear: Your book preferences aren't an Ubuntu technical support question. Please go ask #ubuntu-offtopic :)
[20:24] <ocx> anyone?
[20:24] <mang0> ah, found it in the repos
[20:24] <edbian> mang0: sure :)
[20:24] <Akuw> hi
[20:24] <Akuw> i have ubuntu 9.04
[20:24] <mang0> what's the differance between "Removal" and "Complete removal" edbian ?
[20:25] <pappa_bear> rww, but my goal is to be of better help, technically, to the Ubuntu user group
[20:25] <Akuw> where is the menu.lst, i can`t find it
[20:25] <edbian> mang0: complete removal removes settings files in /etc/ and such as well as the actual program executable
[20:25] <mang0> ah, okay. that's what I want to do. I'm going to dual boot instead :)
[20:25] <edbian> pappa_bear: :)
[20:25] <edbian> mang0: virtual box is not dual boot :)
[20:26] <edbian> mang0: It allows you to run two os's at the same time on one machine
[20:26] <pappa_bear> edbian, lol
[20:26] <mang0> edbian: exactly, i'm deleting vb in favour of dual boot
[20:26] <mang0> lol
[20:26] <edbian> mang0: ahhh :)
[20:26] <mang0> ;)
[20:26] <pappa_bear> edbian, just stirring the nest a little.. :D
[20:26] <edbian> mang0: Sure, was virtual box installed via repos?
[20:26] <acicula> pappa_bear: the linux bible, used to be, just a deadtree version of publicly available faqs and howtos
[20:26] <tfdev> edbian: say, why exactly am i booting from usb without hdd? Almost done btw.
[20:26] <edbian> pappa_bear: I love helping here and I didn't read a book to learn how :)
[20:26] <mang0> edbian: yes, I remember reading the description now
[20:26] <aetas> acicula, yeah but in all fairness do you think one of those "hacking" books is better?
[20:26] <mang0> I thought i did it via terminal but I was wrong
[20:27] <Testtube1> Hello Everyone. Who is real familiar with the boot up process for ubuntu?
[20:27] <vlt> Hello. I'm a new Ubuntu user. Where can I find my clipboard history?
[20:27] <climbe2> edbian, is there a way to save all of my files found on sdb1 and sdb2 and re-install, even if i cannot boot to any of my kernels?
[20:27] <edbian> tfdev: I am quite sure I saw errors in your paste regarding difficulty reading the hdd.  I have seen this crash many a live boot before.  I want to confirm there are problems with the hdd and not any other part of the computer.  software or hardware
[20:27] <edbian> climbe2: sure, boot a live CD :)
[20:27] <climbe2> haha...can't boot a live C
[20:27] <climbe2> d
[20:27] <edbian> climbe2: and connect something to the computer where you can boot all this data
[20:27] <tfdev> edbian: thanks :)
[20:27] <edbian> climbe2: Then no :(
[20:27] <acicula> aetas: i've rummaged through them, dont think they are that terrible, then again id never buy it either
[20:28] <edbian> climbe2: Did you try booting a liveUSB in a different USB port?
[20:28] <edbian> tfdev: sure
[20:28] <climbe2> yes, same error
[20:28] <mang0> edbian: I used to dual boot winXP and ubuntu, but my computer messed up, had to reformat both hdds, I reinstalled ubuntu and now I'm reinstalling windows after trying VB :P
[20:28] <edbian> mang0: You can install something in the terminal from the repos. I do it all the time
[20:28] <mang0> ah
[20:28] <edbian> mang0: FYI, this is going to mess up your bootloader grub but it is a known issue and there is a fix.
[20:28] <Numn> are they a way to update to 11.04 but still have stuff from 10.10 i think unity is to much like Windows 7 :)
[20:29] <edbian> !grub-repair | mang0
[20:29] <edbian> darn
[20:29] <mang0> edbian: I know, I've done it before
[20:29] <edbian> mang0: oh good :)
[20:29] <mang0> :)
[20:29] <rww> !classic | Numn
[20:29] <mrdeb> do you think 128mb dedicated video is enough for ubuntu
[20:29] <aetas> acicula, they're not terrible for security stuff but he wanted a book to get him brought up to speed on general stuff which they usually aren't much help with
[20:30] <edbian> mrdeb: more than enough
[20:30] <Testtube1> Anyone real familiar with the boot process for ubuntu
[20:30] <rww> Testtube1: best to just ask your actual question
[20:30] <Testtube1> rww Makes sense :P
[20:30] <Testtube1> What in /boot gets stored in memory?
[20:31] <ha1dfo> Hi all. In unity, how can I configure ALT-TAB to exclude iconified windows?
[20:31] <ronqbc> can anyone tell me what can i do if the login screen doesn't appears after the screen had been locked?
[20:31] <Numn> rww: i know that, but i think unity to much
[20:31] <ha1dfo> actually it is unity 2d, if it matters
[20:31] <rww> Numn: If you read the second sentence, it tells you how to make it go away.
[20:31] <edbian> Testtube1: Probably all of it.  Anything that is run or read when the system boots.  i can't imagine anything that would be in there but NOT used during boot time.
[20:31] <tfdev> Hold on to your butts...
[20:32] <edbian> tfdev: holding
[20:32] <Numn> rww: yea i know but i have 10.10 right now.. im still want have it like 10.10 but still be updated wihtout unity
[20:32] <rww> Numn: Please specify what you mean by "like 10.10"
[20:32] <exutux> Testtube1: what's your intend about "memory" ram?
[20:32] <mang0> Numn you can run 11.04 without unity
[20:32] <Testtube1> Edbian i believe you are correct. So what if i took the system through a process that reimages the system including /dev/sda1 where /boot lives and then the system goes down for a shutdown. Will whatever is in memory write to disk and change the files that i just laid down?
[20:33] <Testtube1> I think i have a pretty massive issue with 1200 units.
[20:33] <tfdev> edbian: Ok 0 error scroll, on ubuntu loading screen... and there's the desktop... much faster
[20:33] <Numn> rww: uhm.. Like without Unity i think..
[20:33] <edbian> tfdev: hdd is the prob
[20:33] <Noobuntu> Why is there MenuEditor for, if Unity's menus are not customizzable?
[20:33] <edbian> Testtube1: no
[20:33] <rww> Numn: Then again, consider actually reading the second sentence of what ubottu told you.
[20:33] <Testtube1> We reimaged 1200 units out in the field /dev/sda1 was the first image that was laid down. the system went down for a reboot came back up normally but now that its time for a forced fsck i am having issues with /boot
[20:34] <edbian> Testtube1: the system usually does not randomly overwrite stuff it doesn't agree with :P
[20:34] <edbian> tfdev: Now fixing it :(  the hard part
[20:34] <edbian> Testtube1: What issues are you having?
[20:34] <Testtube1> edbian  When the system comes online with a fsck it makes mention of a file with a modified date that is prior to the laydown of the image?
[20:35] <ronqbc> can anyone tell me what can i do if the login screen doesn't appears after the screen had been locked?
[20:35] <tfdev> edbian: aye. I freqeuntly see ads for hdd fix software... think any of them will help? I have used tuneup utilities before and was happy with performance.
[20:35] <tfdev> Tuneup utilites is for windows
[20:36] <edbian> Testtube1: The system time is wrong on either the image or the system that's being imaged.  That's my guess
[20:36] <Testtube1> So fo example if we made a image on 11/19/2010 and distributed to 1200 players on 11/23/2010 once the force fsck comes around it is complaining about inode issues with a file that was modfied on 11/20/2010
[20:36] <Testtube1> and i am not sure how that is possible because we blew everything away on 11/23/2010
[20:36] <edbian> tfdev: That's a waste of time in my opinion.  Hang on
[20:36] <sudokill> tuneup utilities falls into a similar boat as all the other "pc speed accelerator" programs
[20:36]  * tfdev is still gripping butt
[20:37] <rww> Testtube1: Presumably the imaging process is retaining the timestamps from when the files were modified when you were building the image.
[20:37] <edbian> Testtube1: I think the clock is wrong on the remote systems.
[20:37] <Testtube1> edbian this is on all the systems
[20:37] <Numn> rww: what i meant was that if they are any way to get it like ubuntu 10.10 without unity.. and using that droplist you talking about.
[20:37] <pappa_bear> anyone know why i can't connect to the repositories to update my system?
[20:37] <Testtube1> and the rest of the time stamps match 11/23/2010
[20:37] <sudokill> pappa_bear, try changing the mirror
[20:37] <rww> Numn: And as I've said three times now, the second sentence of that factoid is giving you instructions for doing that.
[20:37] <edbian> tfdev: Try to make this:  http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[20:38] <edbian> Testtube1: mmm, yes.  Wouldn't be wrong on ALL of them
[20:38] <edbian> Testtube1: the rest?
[20:38] <ntr0py> On my old maverick there was /usr/lib/dri/vdpau_drv_video.so from nvidia-current... where did this file went on Natty?
[20:38] <Testtube1> edbian the rest of the files in /boot are indeed timestamped 11/23/2010 which matches the deployment of the image.
[20:39] <edbian> Testtube1: I'm not sure what is 'the rest' and what is 'the original'
[20:39] <ronqbc> can anyone tell me what can i do if the login screen doesn't appears after the screen had been locked?
[20:39] <edbian> Testtube1: This is the timestamp of the file on the image?

[20:39] <Testtube1> edbian we blew /boot EG /dev/sda1 away when we laid the image down. on 11/23/2010
[20:39] <Testtube1> however fsck is complaining about a corrupt file with a stamp of 11/20/2010
[20:40] <edbian> Testtube1: what file?
[20:40] <Testtube1> in /boot EG /dev/sda1
[20:40] <Testtube1> Grub-default
[20:40] <nick12524> anyone know of a good hardware chat room?
[20:40] <pappa_bear> #hardware
[20:40] <edbian> Testtube1: what does 'blew away' mean?
[20:40] <io> nick12524: ##hardware not #hardware
[20:40] <carbon357> ronqbc : try ALT-F6,  tyoe in your username:password . Type sudo reboot -n .   see if it still does it after a reboot
[20:40] <Numn> mang0: do you understand wat i mean?
[20:40] <mang0> sorry was afk
[20:40] <mang0> what?
[20:40] <Testtube1> edbian Meaning we laid the image back down using partimage
[20:40] <tfdev> edbian: brb.
[20:41] <mang0> numn
[20:41] <mang0> yeah
[20:41] <Numn> mang0: yea i know but i have 10.10 right now.. im still want have it like 10.10 but still be updated wihtout unity
[20:41] <mang0> ubuntu 11.04 with gnome2/3
[20:41] <mrfoobar> why are window controls on the wrong side of the windows?
[20:41] <edbian> Testtube1: Does the 'corrupt' file exist (with that timestamp) in the image?
[20:41] <Testtube1> The only way i can make since of the situation is the machine booted on or near 11/20/2010 then we rolled out our image on 11/23/2010 and then had the machine reboot and something from memory wrote down to a file?
[20:41] <Testtube1> no its 11/23/2010
[20:41] <mrfoobar> how do you fix them
[20:42] <edbian> mrfoobar: To make room for a feature that never got made!
[20:42] <edbian> haha
[20:42] <mang0> cya guys tommorow!
[20:42] <mrfoobar> well how do you fix this
[20:42] <Testtube1> and interesting enough if we take a completly clean machine and we lay the image down and FSCK it its completly fine.
[20:42] <edbian> Testtube1: so in the image it's correct but on any machine that got imaged it's wrong?
[20:42] <tfdev> edbian: k connected via web. Checking into live usb disk.
[20:42] <edbian> tfdev: sure
[20:42] <Testtube1> Edbian yes.
[20:42] <Noor_egy> hello i have propleme that i was installed ubiuntu with windows then i reinstaled windows i tried to recover the ubuntu grab but after i did that every time i try to acess windows it gives me  invalid signature this is the result of ( fdisk -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/648552/ ) and this is the result of grub.cfg ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/648554/ ) could any one have look on them plz
[20:42] <edbian> tfdev: The live gparted disk has a much better change of booting
[20:42] <carbon357> mrfoobar : try some different themes
[20:42] <mrfoobar> its the wrong way on all of them
[20:42] <Numn> rww: can you stop giving me this stuff.. do you even understand what i talk about?
[20:42] <edbian> Testtube1: That is very strange.
[20:43] <Testtube1> edbian i agree its a pretty big issue :(
[20:43] <edbian> Testtube1: I don't know! :P
[20:43] <Numn> rww: im trying to tell you what i want if its possible
[20:43] <aikInsaan> I am using Natty (w/o Unity) on an intel celeron 2.4GHz with 1gb ram, intel 82845GL graphics card and the system response is laggy....looking for suggestions to improve performance
[20:43] <Fi[X]> I already have the current version of a program on my laptop, but I want to install an older version, how can I have both?
[20:43] <cyperbg> guys: I have this script that I start like this: sudo start.sh. So how can I add it to the Startup Programs but with sudo privilleges?
[20:44] <carbon357> mrfoobar :  I think I did mine with "emerald theme manger" now that I think about it
[20:44] <exutux> cyperbg: best way is to put it on /etc/rc.local and it starts after login
[20:44] <DrSlony> Hey, does one need to do anything spercial to get sshd to run on boot in ubuntu 11.04 after apt-get install?
[20:44] <dr_willis> DrSlony:  nothing special needed
[20:44] <cyperbg> exutux, you mean move the script file there?
[20:45] <muskegman> ok
[20:45] <DrSlony> dr_willis will it automatically run after reboot?
[20:45] <edbian> DrSlony: It does by deafult
[20:45] <ThinkT510> Numn: you want ubuntu 11.04 without unity? rww told you how
[20:45] <DrSlony> thanks
[20:45] <edbian> mrfoobar: hang on
[20:45] <carbon357> drslony : nope,  other then maybe changing your port for security.  Well in 10.04 anyways
[20:45] <exutux> cyperbg: put /path/name_script.sh before exit 0 in that file
[20:45] <Noor_egy> hello i have propleme that i was installed ubiuntu with windows then i reinstaled windows i tried to recover the ubuntu grab but after i did that every time i try to acess windows it gives me  invalid signature this is the result of ( fdisk -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/648552/ ) and this is the result of grub.cfg ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/648554/ ) could any one have look on them plz
[20:45] <cyperbg> exutux I will try, thank you :)
[20:45] <edbian> Somebody know the factoid to get ubottu to tell mrfoobar how to switch the close max min buttons on his windows to the right side
[20:45] <dr_willis> !controls
[20:45] <exutux> cyperbg: remember it run ONLY after login
[20:46] <aikInsaan> I am using Natty (w/o Unity) on an intel celeron 2.4GHz with 1gb ram, intel 82845GL graphics card and the system response is laggy....looking for suggestions to improve performance
[20:46] <cyperbg> exutux, my user logins automatically, so that won't be a problem, right?
[20:46] <edbian> dr_willis: thanks
[20:46] <zykotick9> edbian, !controls don't have the instructions anymore, it previously linked to my google-sites page - but I removed the page, and not the IRC admins to update the factoid.
[20:46] <edbian> mrfoobar: Did you see what ?
[20:46] <mrfoobar> whay
[20:46] <zykotick9> s/not/got/
[20:47] <edbian> zykotick9: omg
[20:47] <maco> aikInsaan: more ram, or lubuntu?
[20:47] <exutux> cyperbg: right, but depend about script....
[20:47] <bahamas10> i got a tough one, i'm using 10.04 server and i was SSH'd in, out of nowhere i got "remote host closed the connection" and now i can't SSH in, i can't access it over port 80, but i can ping it
[20:47] <cyperbg> I will try and report back :)
[20:47] <edbian> bahamas10: firewall?
[20:47] <Numn> ThinkT510: Ok, i know exackly. but i mean like erased from the system like its 10.10?
[20:47] <bahamas10> all of my connections to my server appear to hang, port 80 just stays at loading
[20:47] <exutux> cyperbg: yup
[20:47] <carbon357> bahamas : can't do a physical reboot ?
[20:47] <aikInsaan> maco: i am looking for more of a software solution...any configs on Natty that can improve performance?
[20:48] <bahamas10> edbian: i was thinking that, but i'm SSH'd into a server next to it on a switch, so when i try to ssh from there it shouldn't touch a firewall
[20:48] <edbian> bahamas10: mmm, IDK
[20:48] <bahamas10> carbon357: i'm actually trouble shooting this remotely
[20:48] <edbian> bahamas10: Is go to it.
[20:48] <edbian> bahamas10: go to the machine, log in locally
[20:48] <ThinkT510> Numn: that is hard to do since unity is a custom shell built on top of gnome components, so i would leave it there
[20:48] <bahamas10> edbian: that's what i'm gonna try tonight
[20:48] <dr_willis> bahamas10:  it could be its had some filesystem issues. so wanting someone to hit 'ok' for a fsck message.
[20:48] <edbian> bahamas10: nmap it
[20:49] <bahamas10> i'm thinking a process has pegged a cpu and is not allowing an external connections to be processed
[20:49] <tfdev> edbian: i was *eventually* booting into ubuntu, everything was just taking huge amounts of time. Just in case I wasn't clear earlier. Installing tuxboot to seperate flashdrive.
[20:49] <bahamas10> nmap reveals all the ports open i would expect
[20:49] <carbon357> bahamas10 : what other services are running on the server ?
[20:49] <Numn> ThinkT510: so you mean its would make gnome or ubuntu unstable?
[20:49] <bahamas10> 22,80,443
[20:49] <bahamas10> carbon357: it's an nginx server on 80 and 443, and mostly a minecraft server i run for some friends
[20:50] <ThinkT510> Numn: trying to remove unity would likely remove a large part of gnome dependancies, which you need to run gnome
[20:50] <bahamas10> most likely a process went crazy, spiked to 100% and is stopping new connections from being created
[20:50] <Tru3fate> im thinking of fully making my desktop ubuntu, what vmware can use on. and what ubuntu should i have to do this.
[20:50] <maco> aikInsaan: if there's file indexing, turn it off. i dont know if there is though.  could get rid of avahi daemon i guess. could ditch sane and cups if no printer/scanner. i dont really think there's a way to make an 8 year old machine /not/ be laggy though (celerons are just plain designed slow, for starters)
[20:50] <Noor_egy> hello i have propleme that i was installed ubiuntu with windows then i reinstaled windows i tried to recover the ubuntu grab but after i did that every time i try to acess windows it gives me  invalid signature this is the result of ( fdisk -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/648552/ ) and this is the result of grub.cfg ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/648554/ ) could any one have look on them plz
[20:50] <bahamas10> if i telnet <server> 22 it says connection established, but i never get the openssh server banner
[20:50] <edbian> tfdev: looks good.  I've never installed gparted so you're on your own there.  Ask me questions if you want but I'll just read the tutorial I linked
[20:50] <tfdev> edbian: okay, embarassing nub time: the tut says to make the file executable and gives me a command line.. I enter this into terminal right?
[20:51] <Testtube1> yes means you chmod +x filename
[20:51] <edbian> tfdev: where are you in the tutorial?
[20:51] <aikInsaan> maco: thanks. i'll look into those areas....i know its a crappy old machine...just wanna make use for small things (like web browsing, little doc editing here, spreadsheet viewing) nothing else (like no video viewing, gaming, etc)
[20:52] <tfdev> If using GNU/Linux, make the file executable (using either the command "chmod +x ./tuxboot-linux*"
[20:52] <tfdev> edbian: ^^ in terminal?
[20:52] <Numn> ThinkT510: but i can still use 10.10 right? and update?
[20:52] <goodtime> yes tfdev
[20:52] <Testtube1> tfdev open up the terminal browse to the file and type chmod +x filename
[20:52] <ThinkT510> Numn: sure
[20:52] <kos2> # Appears as ANNA
[20:52] <maco> aikInsaan: for future hardware purchases, i strongly recommend against celeron ;) they cost less because they put less on-chip memory in, so the cpu spends a lot of time going "now where did i put that data?" instead of doing stuff
[20:52] <edbian> tfdev: yes run that command
[20:52] <tfdev> thanks folks. i will learn
[20:52] <ThinkT510> !update | Numn
[20:53] <mrfoobar> how do you smbmount so normal users have access to it?
[20:53] <carbon357> bahamas10 : hmmm.   can you netcat any of the ports.  any thing returen.  Sound like your right about something maybe hanging.  Is it on a server farm or something.  Think a reboot is the key here
[20:53] <Noor_egy1> hello i have propleme that i was installed ubiuntu with windows then i reinstaled windows i tried to recover the ubuntu grab but after i did that every time i try to acess windows it gives me  invalid signature this is the result of ( fdisk -l http://paste.ubuntu.com/648552/ ) and this is the result of grub.cfg ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/648554/ ) could any one have look on them plz
[20:53] <edbian> tfdev: Be sure to use my name.
[20:54] <dr_willis> mrfoobar:  if you used the fstab and had a 'users' option. the users could mount/unmount the location set.
[20:54] <ha1dfo> just asking again, if somebody knows, in unity, how can I configure ALT-TAB to exclude minimized windows?
[20:54] <mrfoobar> there is no other way?
[20:54] <mrdeb> dr_willis: so you can mount without root?
[20:54] <Numn> ThinkT510: i mean like not upgrading to 11.04 and still update some other files that maybe needs to be updated :D
[20:54] <mrfoobar> can't i mount the location as root and have normal users access it?
[20:54] <dr_willis> mrdeb:  via fstab yes.. theres also some fuse smb tools that  give you a dynamic 'list of all shares on the network' feature
[20:54] <aikInsaan> maco: thanks for the tip...next my eyes are on macbook (air/pro)- good aren't they?
[20:54] <tfdev> edbian: next time I make love to my gf, make her call me edbian? She might not be okay with that but I figure it's the least I can do...
[20:54] <ThinkT510> Numn: not sure what you mean
[20:55] <dr_willis> ha1dfo:  check the settings in the ccsm tool. it can tweak the alt-tab plugin
[20:55] <dr_willis> !ccsm | ha1dfo
[20:55] <mrdeb> dr_willis: o you have to visudo mount too for the user
[20:55] <edbian> tfdev: ha, you're gonna get in trouble with talk like that my friend
[20:55] <tfdev> edbian: ten-four, ill keep it pg.
[20:55] <dr_willis> mrdeb:  Huh?
[20:55] <ha1dfo> dr_willis, thank you, i'll check
[20:55] <edbian> tfdev: :)
[20:55] <maco> aikInsaan: as far as i know, yes. i think theyre using core i5/i7 these days. "celeron" is always the current intel cpu but with that cache cut in half
[20:55] <mrdeb> so yes
[20:56] <dr_willis> mrdeb:  the fstab file can have a 'users' option for specific mount points..
[20:56] <dr_willis> mrdeb:  allowing users to mount it.
[20:56] <Numn> ThinkT510: ok like update importan update and still not upgrade to 11.04 ;)
[20:56] <bahamas10> carbon357: i'll try nc, it's just a standalone server, but since minecraft is java i'm guessing it spiked ram or cpu and that just messed it all up
[20:56] <ThinkT510> Numn: you can stick with 10.10 if you like
[20:57] <ThinkT510> !eol | Numn
[20:57] <mrdeb> dr_willis: that is for place only. what about hwen it asks for root. will it still ask for root
[20:57] <dr_willis> mrdeb:  it depends on how you are mounting it.. you are not being clear on what you want to do.
[20:57] <aikInsaan> maco: should i expect a lot better experience on lubuntu (or other light weight derivatives)?
[20:57] <bahamas10> carbon357: nc <IP_ADDRESS> 22 returns nothing, it just hangs
[20:57] <ha1dfo> dr_willis, stupid question: is this ccsm work also with unity-2d?
[20:57] <carbon357> bahamas10 : yeah mindcraft is a resource hog eh
[20:58] <dr_willis> ha1dfo:  ccsm is the compiz setting manager.. unity uses compiz, but unity-2d does not.
[20:58] <maco> aikInsaan: i would think so.  it should have fewer background processes running to try to make things "automagic"
[20:58] <bahamas10> carbon357: yeah, i'm just wondering why now, i ran it for months, so i'm just speculating that minecraft is the culprit
[20:58] <mrdeb> dr_willis: mounts without root
[20:58] <cbx33> sudo update-alternatives --config wish          --          What else will that effect?
[20:58] <bahamas10> carbon357: nc -vvvvv <IP_ADDRESS> 22
[20:58] <bahamas10> Connection to <IP_ADDRESS> 22 port [tcp/ssh] succeeded!
[20:58] <bahamas10> .... then it hangs
[20:58] <Testtube1> Noor_egy i think your grub file is wrong.
[20:58] <ha1dfo> dr_willis, I see. Then the alt-tab is done by metacity?
[20:58] <aikInsaan> maco: lubuntu's the way forward then..?
[20:58] <bahamas10> same with ports 80 and 443
[20:58] <dr_willis> mrdeb:  make a fstab entry with the users option is the normal way to mount a location as a user. ......    theres no safe way to do a 'let users mount eveyrthing with no limitations'
[20:59] <dr_willis> ha1dfo:  compiz replaces metacity..
[20:59] <maco> aikInsaan: thats what we've been recommending for folks in your situation and why it was created :)
[20:59] <Testtube1> Noor_egy it says menuentry "Windows 7 (on /dev/sdb1)" {
[20:59] <dr_willis> ha1dfo:  compiz has perhaps 4 differnt plugins for the alt-tab task switcher.
[20:59] <Testtube1> but your fdisk -l
[20:59] <aetas> bahamas10, is this a system you can only access through ssh?
[20:59] <Testtube1> shows the boot partition on /dev/sda1
[20:59] <ha1dfo> dr_willis, okay, but cannot run normal unity because of old GPU in laptop, so i can't use unity, i have to use unity 2d, so compiz is out, right?
[20:59] <under> Oh, dear.
[20:59] <dr_willis> ha1dfo:  unity-2d does not use compiz.
[21:00] <dr_willis> ive no idea if unity-2d uses metacity, or mutter.. or what it does.. :)
[21:00] <ha1dfo> okay.
[21:00] <aikInsaan> yep gonna go for it maco
[21:00] <mrdeb> that sounds too hard dr_willis, so i will use udisks
[21:00] <ha1dfo> dr_willis, ps aux says metacity
[21:00] <aetas> has anyone kept unity?  I lasted about 5 minutes with it
[21:00] <under> I'm from ubuntu live, I'm looking for diagnostic software, I think my SSD drive is broken. How can I check that?
[21:01] <tfdev> edbian: i ran the app after making it executable. Both by double clicking & "sudo ./tuxboot-linux-25" unfortunately nothing happened. No gui, terminal went back to accept another cmd
[21:01] <Numn> ThinkT510: i wish 10.10 is reviving in the future i really like it very much.. i dont like the new upgrades for ubuntu but that's my opinion
[21:01] <edbian> tfdev: let me take a look
[21:01] <aetas> under: I would started with seeing if its detected first
[21:02] <ThinkT510> Numn: you could always try xfce or lxde if you don't like kde or gnome (xfce is my favourite)
[21:02] <under> aetas: not always it's seen at BIOS
[21:02] <edbian> tfdev: did you gksudo or sudo it?
[21:02] <tfdev> edbian: note* terminal did not ask for su pw
[21:02] <tfdev> sudo
[21:02] <Testtube1> edbian There was a user in here with a question about a booting issue his grub is here http://paste.ubuntu.com/648554/ and his fdisk info is here   http://paste.ubuntu.com/648552/ doesnt it appear that the grub entry down at the bottom refering to win7 is wrong?
[21:02] <dr_willis> sudo password is cached for a few min by default.
[21:03] <Broseph> is there an xclip equivalent for systems that don't have X installed?
[21:03] <Numn> ThinkT510: the thing is that i love gnome but yea your right i think should use another window mangement for my taste
[21:03] <aetas> under: I mean in linux
[21:03] <edbian> Testtube1: hang on
[21:03] <edbian> tfdev: what command did you run?
[21:03] <dr_willis> !info xclip
[21:03] <carbon357> bahamas10 :  interesting.  so making connections is not the issue.  odd man.  I can't think of anything else remotely off the top of my head
[21:03] <SejmL> evenin
[21:03] <under> aetas: Yes, I can see it.
[21:04] <tfdev> sudo ./tuxboot-linux-25 < copy&paste
[21:04] <dr_willis> bahamas10:  you wanting to use the mouse and a clipboard in the console? GPM lets you do that to some degree.
[21:04] <tfdev> edbian: ^^
[21:04] <bahamas10> aetas: for now yes, only through ssh
[21:04] <edbian> Testtube1: yes def.  It's pointing to a harddrive that is not even connected according to fdisk
[21:04] <Broseph> dr_willis, I just want to pipe the contents of a file to clipboard
[21:04] <Broseph> cat file | xclip
[21:04] <Testtube1> Thanks edbian
[21:04] <edbian> tfdev: What are you pointing at?
[21:04] <bahamas10> carbon357: yeah it's weird haha, i wass SSH'd in today to socks proxy my web browsing traffic
[21:04] <dr_willis> Broseph:  then do what with it?
[21:04] <bahamas10> then i noticed it died, and now i can't get in again
[21:05] <edbian> tfdev: oh I see it
[21:05] <Numn> ThinkT510: i main thing is that i dont like the unity.. and i any way getting if i update
[21:05] <under> pirlo89: you are the n1
[21:05] <tfdev> edbian: it was in the tutorial, since im making it through linuc
[21:05] <Broseph> dr_willing, paste it somewhere else of course
[21:05] <tfdev> edbian: should I try manual?
[21:05] <dr_willis> Broseph:  into an X app?
[21:05] <aikInsaan> how do the following disk benchmark results sound to people? Timing cached reads = 303.76 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads =  33.23 MB/sec
[21:05] <edbian> tfdev: can I see ls -l tuxboot-linux-25
[21:05] <carbon357> bahamas10 :  did you apply any updates or change  anything ?
[21:06] <pirlo89> under:  LOL ... i am not that pirlo X)
[21:06] <tfdev> -rwxr-xr-x 1 ubuntu ubuntu 4383772 2011-07-20 20:48 tuxboot-linux-25
[21:06] <Testtube1> tfdev: did the file turn green>
[21:06] <Testtube1> ?
[21:06] <tfdev> edbian: ^^
[21:06] <under> pirlo89: hehehe now he is a juventus player :D
[21:06] <tfdev> Testtube1: in the folder, no. In terminal, yes
[21:06] <Broseph> dr_willis: no, I'm accessing a server through SSH actually, I was hoping there's a tool that would allow me to paste in my host OS just like the "natural" mechanism of selecting works
[21:07] <Testtube1> Looks like he has the excute flag there
[21:07] <edbian> tfdev: wait a minute.  How are you on linux right now?  Is this a liveCD?
[21:07] <edbian> Testtube1: yes it does
[21:07] <pirlo89> under:  yep, it's so sad seeing him leave
[21:07] <ThinkT510> Numn: i've never liked gnome so i've always stuck with xfce (xubuntu) so i never need to deal with gnome 2/3 or unity
[21:07] <dr_willis> Broseph:  cant say that ive ever seen a clipboard work that way over ssh..  other then whats built into  the ssh clients (like putty)
[21:07] <ocx> when a user accesses an nfs share as which user is he identified on the nfs server?
[21:07] <ocx> others?
[21:08] <ThinkT510> Numn: there is also lubuntu (lxde) which is getting high praise too
[21:08] <jen> ^_^
[21:08] <under> pirlo89: are you milan supporter?
[21:08] <Broseph> dr_willis: okay, thanks. Wishful thinking I guess
[21:08] <Numn> ThinkT510: if i want get rid of unity i need to get rid of gnome then? :)
[21:08] <pirlo89> under:  yes, i guess you are a juve supporter ?
[21:09] <tardis> I'm not seeing the part where it's at all important that Unity's installed if you're not using it.
[21:09] <under> pirlo89: yes, i'm italian
[21:09] <dr_willis> ocx:  as far as ive ever seen/noticed  the nfs server sees him as his normal logged in user.  thats how you can have nfs mounted /home/ dirs and so forth.
[21:09] <dr_willis> ocx:  there may be nfs options to force/remap to other user names.
[21:09] <edbian> tfdev: How are you on linux right now?
[21:09] <ThinkT510> Numn: another option is to use the mini iso and install what you want from there (get gnome without unity)
[21:09] <ocx> dr_willis: : i want to map certain users to certain remote users
[21:09] <ThinkT510> !mini | Numn
[21:10] <pirlo89> under:  man ... i always wanted to go to italy
[21:10] <under> pirlo89: you from?
[21:10] <dr_willis> ocx:  prob. doable. but ive never had the need.
[21:10] <pirlo89> under:  Kuwait
[21:10] <Testtube1> Maybe he got it working edbian :P
[21:10] <dr_willis> bbl
[21:10] <edbian> Testtube1: hopefully :)
[21:10] <edbian> Testtube1: maybe we caught him!
[21:11] <ThinkT510> Numn: starting with 11.10 there will be no more gnome 2 though (but i think there is a fallback mode in gnome 3 to make it look similar)
[21:11] <ocx> how do u map users to their home directories?
[21:11] <zykotick9> Numn, FYI if you go the mini route and want only gnome, install the gnome-desktop-environment packages (gnome will fail)
[21:11] <ocx> on a nfs server
[21:11] <Testtube1> uh oh
[21:11] <under> pirlo89: not so close :D
[21:11] <Numn> ThinkT510: so 11.04 and still without any unity then?
[21:11] <szal> !ot | pirlo89, under
[21:11] <jen> KM0201 are you there?
[21:11] <KM0201> jen: yes
[21:11] <jen> hi!
[21:12] <ThinkT510> Numn: yes
[21:12] <jen> tis ken right?
[21:12] <KM0201> jen: yes, its ken..lol
[21:12] <Testtube1> Welcome back tfdev
[21:12] <under> I'm from ubuntu live, I'm looking for diagnostic software, I think my SSD drive is broken. How can I check that?
[21:13] <tfdev> sorry... im tethering and incoming calls kills connection
[21:13] <pirlo89> under:  yeah i know. I don't want to spam a ubuntu channel, so i guess i will see you later :)
[21:13] <edbian> tfdev: ha, funny
[21:13] <Testtube1> I wish my company paid for teathering!
[21:13] <tfdev> Testtube1: last I said, file was green in terminal
[21:13] <tfdev> edbian: oh.. just hilarious
[21:13] <Nikyo> A question.. is Nivida 096 driver working in the newest build of Ubuntu?
[21:13] <ocx> how can i map users local directory to a remote directory hosted on NFS Server
[21:13] <edbian> tfdev: how are you on linux right now?
[21:14] <tfdev> edbian: booted ubuntu from pendrive
[21:14] <Testtube1> !
[21:14] <tfdev> edbian: hdd still removed
[21:14] <edbian> tfdev: ohh
[21:14] <szal> Nikyo: any reason to believe that it isn't?  for what gfx card, btw?
[21:14] <FireZen> !
[21:14] <edbian> What are you gonna install gparted to?
[21:15] <tfdev> edbian: other pen drive :)
[21:15] <Nikyo> szal: After 10.4, the driver did not work anymore. something to do with the new xorg server that broke the driver and hardware acceleration.
[21:15] <Numn> i want Ubuntu/Gnome/Without_Unity/11.04 :D
[21:15] <edbian> tfdev: ahh
[21:16] <edbian> tfdev: Which tuxboot did you download? clonezilla, drbl, gparted, ... ?
[21:16] <Nikyo> szal: affected a lot of users.. including me.. genric driver would work but not Nivida 096<szal
[21:16] <szal> Nikyo: and what gfx card?
[21:16] <k0d3g3ar> Numn, pinguy is your friend
[21:16] <Nikyo> Nivida Fx Geforce 5200
[21:16] <tfdev> edbian: that phone call was a ride to go get my pet rats some food. Sadly I'll have to leave for a short bit of time. Planning to leave soon?
[21:16] <Nikyo> AGP
[21:16] <zykotick9> Numn, if you don't want Unity, check out some of the other Debian based distros - Mint and Debian come to mind ;)
[21:17] <szal> Nikyo: the FX series takes the nvidia-173
[21:17] <climbe2> question:  how do I start the GUI from command line?
[21:17] <szal> Nikyo: and I can confirm that the 173 works
[21:17] <zykotick9> climbe2, startx
[21:17] <Numn> yes, but ubuntu is my Fave! :)
[21:17] <Testtube1> startx
[21:17] <zykotick9> climbe2, or "sudo service gdm start" if you want the login screen
[21:17] <Nikyo> szal in Ubuntu 11ubuntu 11
[21:17] <edbian> tfdev: Yeah :( dinner time
[21:17] <szal> Nikyo: yes
[21:17] <qin> Numn: Get minimal iso, and make sure to not install Unity.
[21:18] <tfdev> edbian: Thanks for everything. I'll be back on and see if I can't get any help.
[21:18] <mandrake> mandrake Linux is alive again
[21:18] <Numn> ok thx for all help.. now i know what i can do :)
[21:18] <tfdev> testtube1: gonna be on for a bit? :)
[21:18] <edbian> tfdev: good luck
[21:18] <pirlo89> Does anyone know a good web development channel ?
[21:18] <Nikyo> I'll try installing ubuntu 11.04 and see if hard ware acceration works.. I'm currently at 10.4
[21:18] <Nikyo> still
[21:18] <Testtube1> tfdev for a little bit there seems to be a channel full of helpful people i am sure you will find someone if you return
[21:19] <tfdev> Testtube1: I'll bet. thanks also for your advice. Take care.
[21:19] <szal> Nikyo: it does work, even though it's still a far cry from GF8+ cards
[21:19] <Psydoll> how can i view processes in ubuntu so i can kill the one causing problems?
[21:20] <climbe2> zykotick9: it says gdm is already running
[21:20] <ThinkT510> Psydoll: ps aux
[21:20] <climbe2> Job is already running: gdm
[21:20] <Fuchs> Psydoll: htop, top, gnome-system-monitor, ...
[21:20] <zykotick9> climbe2, then alt+f7 or f8 will probably bring you back to GUI
[21:20] <aikInsaan> On an intel celeron 2.4GHz with 1gb ram, intel 82845GL graphics card....Lubuntu or Xubuntu?
[21:20] <sudokill> either or
[21:21] <mandrake> I am here if someone need advanced Linux information
[21:21] <climbe2> took me to a blank screen with blinking cursor...no action
[21:21] <Nikyo> szal: Thanks for your input.. I'll give it a shot.. one my Pentium 3 with 384 MB of ram.. having no acceleration does not bother me.. (what the point ;-) ) but on this 2 Ghz AMD Althon.. I like it
[21:21] <terminhell> I have ubuntu installed on a second partition, but ive cleared out the first partition. How i can i setup the first, and bigger partition as my /home instead of its current location
[21:21] <sudokill> my openbox + 2 xchat windows = 110mb ram
[21:21] <Psydoll> Fuchs: thanks i see the process thats causing the problem how do i kill that one? kill PID?
[21:21] <zykotick9> climbe2, "sudo service gdm restart" will restart the service then.
[21:21] <Nikyo> szal: Thanks again, have a good night.. i may be back after the install if time permits.
[21:22] <Fuchs> Psydoll: yes, that should work. Or pkill, or (with caution) killal.
[21:22] <Fuchs> +l
[21:22] <io> !partition | terminhell
[21:22] <pirlo89> mandrake:  could you provide me a link to explain how the linux virtual memory system works ?
[21:22] <szal> !memory | pirlo89
[21:22] <Psydoll> Fuchs: ty
[21:22] <mandrake> in a minute
[21:22] <Testtube1> Mandrake: I have a legit question that has confused many.
[21:23] <Psydoll> exit
[21:24] <mandrake> I allow you to ask
[21:24] <Testtube1> sweet
[21:24] <Testtube1> lol
[21:24] <pirlo89> ubottu:  thanks
[21:26] <Testtube1> mandrake: on 11/23/2010 we created a image of /dev/sda1 that contains /boot we deployed it to 1200 ubuntu machines out in the field remotely. Once it came time for a forced fsck it shows data issues with a inode. The file that resides on the inode has a modfied date of 11/20/10 three days prior to when the image was deployed.
[21:26] <Testtube1> obviously /dev/sda1 eg /boot was rebuilt on 11/23/10
[21:26] <Testtube1> why does this one file have a previous time stamp?
[21:27] <mandrake> I am thinking...
[21:28]  * ThinkT510 hears the mighty mandrake cogs starting to whir!
[21:28] <Product> Hello.
[21:29] <Product> I would like to ask for help in CentOS, because I couldn't find it's channel.
[21:29] <Testtube1> mandrake its my understanding that /boot alot of it or all of it is stored in "memory" its my theory that when the system booted on 11/20 and then rebooted on 11/23 after it recieved the image some data was written down to disk from the last time it booted (11/20/10) But i have been told this is not possible
[21:29] <mandrake> the next release of MAndrake LInux will have fix to this problem
[21:29] <sudokill> Product, centos?
[21:29] <Product> Yes Sudokill.
[21:29] <sudokill> product /join #centos then
[21:30] <mandrake> if you are in a computer everithyng is possible
[21:30] <Product> Ok
[21:30] <Product> Thank you very much.
[21:30] <Product>  /join #centos
[21:30] <Product> oops
[21:30] <Testtube1> mandrake you are hurting my brain :(
[21:30] <plouffe> lame trolls
[21:30] <Product>  /join #centos
[21:30] <P05TMAN> Can you please help: how can I edit a whole directory with sed? I want to change all the .m4a file extensions in directory 'Album' to .mp3
[21:31] <szal> Product: try without a whitespace in front
[21:31] <qin> Testtube1: Do you have "mother" image somwhere?
[21:31] <Product> I can't join :(
[21:31] <tardis> P05TMAN: that's not what sed is for. Look into "man rename"
[21:31] <Product> It says it's not registered.
[21:31] <Testtube1> qin: yes i do and i verified the time stamp is correct on the master image.
[21:31] <tardis> !register > Product
[21:31] <terry> P05TMAN: You just want to change the file names?
[21:31] <Product> Ok, thanks :)
[21:31] <Testtube1> I also verified with md5sum that the file that was transfered remotely is the same.
[21:31] <mandrake> you ant to change the extension or the format?
[21:31] <Octodigit> hi folks. I've switched to teh open source ati driver on teh basis that I might be able to see compiz working for fun this evening, so I wonder if anyone has been through this process and got it working before me
[21:32] <P05TMAN> Terry: yes, the file extensions actually
[21:32] <Testtube1> qin md5 check was actually performed prior to laying down the image.
[21:32] <Product> I would like to get only some help with the VPS, it has no GUI.
[21:32] <Octodigit> I'm on natty, I don't usually run the open source ati driver as it gets up to 65 degrees hotter than with fglrx and then I bottle it and switch off
[21:32] <qin> Testtube1: Did you try to deploy it, and simulate "problem"?
[21:32] <P05TMAN> Tardis: I will check that out, thank you
[21:32] <Product> I would be pleased if someone can chat with me on PM.
[21:32] <Testtube1> qin: I did actually if i take a clean box and do it manually it works fine.
[21:33] <ikonia> Product: just ask your questions in the channel, and if someone can help they will
[21:33] <Product> It's actually a server setup.
[21:33] <jasonx> can anyone recomend a twitter client for ubuntu
[21:33] <Testtube1> which tells me the problem isnt with the img file
[21:33] <ikonia> Product: just ask your questions
[21:33] <Product> A MineCraft server, it's not that hard to set it up.
[21:33] <ThinkT510> Product: if you are running centos ask in #centos (you need to register your nick)
[21:33] <Product> But I don't know what commands to use.
[21:33] <Product> Ok, thanks :)
[21:33] <itaylor57> ikonia, he is using Centos not ubuntu
[21:34] <ikonia> Product: ahh, sorry, I missed that you where running Centos
[21:34] <aguitel> is there any way to make usb booteable with alternative cd ?
[21:34] <Octodigit> my current problem is that having switched to the ati open source driver (I'm sure of that), when I attempt to start anything that involves compiz the desktop flashes on and off repeatedly
[21:34] <Product> Thanks anyways :)
[21:34] <P05TMAN> terry: just the file extensions
[21:34] <terry> P05TMAN: Try this:  for i in *.m4a; do mv "$i" "`basename "$i" .m4a`.mp3"; done
[21:34] <under> I get this Error benchmarking: helper exited with exit code 1: Error reading 104857600 bytes at 104857600 from /dev/sda when guesstimating buffer size: Input/output error
[21:34] <under>  I want to benchmark my disk
[21:34] <ThinkT510> Product: if you don't want to register your nick you could try a related channel like #fedora (red hat based)
[21:34] <Testtube1> qin: any additional thoughts?
[21:34] <Octodigit> does anyone know, did compiz just get completely banjaxed for natty+ati and hang the consequences? am I wasting my time?
[21:35] <ikonia> Testtube1: no, that is not the channels process, that is for Fedora support
[21:35] <Product> Oh ok
[21:35] <Product> Thanks bro's :)
[21:35] <Testtube1> ikonia what?
[21:35] <ikonia> Testtube1: #fedora is for Feodra support, not Centos support
[21:35] <Testtube1> I never asked for fedora support or centos support?
[21:35] <vlt> Hello. I'm a new Ubuntu user. Where can I find my clipboard history?
[21:35] <ThinkT510> ikonia: i realise that
[21:35] <HackerII> just register the nic
[21:35] <Testtube1> You have me confused with a different user.
[21:35] <qin> Testtube1: Not really, moment
[21:36] <ikonia> Testtube1: darn it, sorry, I meant that for ThinkT510
[21:36] <ikonia> Testtube1: my apologies
[21:36] <sudokill> vlt, afaik there isnt one
[21:36] <Octodigit> ubottu: ping
[21:36] <aikInsaan> On an intel celeron 2.4GHz with 1gb ram, intel 82845GL graphics card....Lubuntu or Xubuntu?
[21:36] <aeon-ltd> aikInsaan: whatever you prefer, with those specs you'll be fine for everything but heavy compiz use
[21:37] <aeon-ltd> aikInsaan: and other heavy processing like some compiling and rendering models
[21:37] <Octodigit> ubottu: ping
[21:37] <ikonia> Octodigit: can you please stop that
[21:37] <aikInsaan> aeon-ltd: okay...cheers!
[21:38] <Octodigit> ah, I can be seen. OK, cool, that removes the need to do that. Thanks
[21:38] <aikInsaan> how do the following disk benchmark results sound to people? Timing cached reads = 303.76 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads =  33.23 MB/sec
[21:38] <vlt> sudokill: No clipboard history? Whose idea was this?
[21:38] <sudokill> vlt, im not 100% sure
[21:38] <sudokill> when you copy something usually its the only thing
[21:38] <Pici> vlt: you can use something like glipper if you need that.
[21:38] <sudokill> theres probably a load of progs that let you keep a history
[21:39] <vlt> Pici: I'll try glipper. Thank you.
[21:39] <Octodigit> how many weeks should I patiently wait in silence after asking whether anyone's experienced the same issue as me, before I conclude I'm stupid?
[21:39] <Octodigit> heh
[21:39] <Octodigit> ah well.
[21:39] <tardis> vlt: I like parcellite, personally.
[21:39] <Octodigit> peace, voluntary support type persons, later
[21:40] <P05TMAN> terry: mv: cannot stat
[21:40] <hudo> hi in lucid, there is the network-manager-applet in the panel, there i can de/activate the network. What is the correspondign console command ?
[21:40] <Foxx> Would anybody have an idea as to why a kernel driver would work on the live cd/usb but not after an install?
[21:41] <terry> vlt: There's glipper
[21:41] <qin> hudo: sudo service networking stop
[21:41] <P05TMAN> terry:Nevermind, I typo'd; terminal genius you are
[21:41] <zykotick9> hudo, N-M doesn't have a console command.  You can use /etc/network/interfaces to setup your connections, which will disable N-M from managing them.
[21:41] <qin> hudo: Or, less barbaric, use: ifconfig
[21:42] <qin> zykotick9: nmcli
[21:42] <zykotick9> qin, are you saying /etc/network/interfaces is "barbaric" :P
[21:42] <terry> P05TMAN: NP
[21:42] <qin> zykotick9: No, service stop
[21:43] <Foxx> Would anybody have an idea as to why a kernel driver would work on the live cd/usb but not after an install?
[21:43] <Testtube1> which driver?
[21:43] <zykotick9> qin, nmcli doesn't appear to have a Debian package...
[21:43] <aikInsaan> aeon-ltd: what are lubuntu or xubuntu come with workspace limits? i.e. will I have multiple workspaces and if so what's the max number allowed?
[21:43] <terry> Foxx: Yes
[21:43] <babble> um. wow. The messaging menu just found XChat automatically for me...did I do something?
[21:43] <Foxx> rt8187
[21:43] <dawid> Foxx- Bitch
[21:43] <qin> !info nmcli
[21:43] <zykotick9> qin,  cnetworkmanager perhaps?
[21:43] <aikInsaan> what are lubuntu and xubuntu workspace limits*
[21:44] <tardis> dawid: What?
[21:44] <qin> !info nm-tool
[21:44] <Testtube1> rt8187 - wireless driver?
[21:44] <Furai`> Byes.
[21:44] <Foxx> Testtube1: yup....thatd be the one
[21:44] <aguitel> is there any way to make usb booteable with alternative cd ?
[21:45] <qin> zykotick9: No, nmcli (not sure what package is it)
[21:45] <zykotick9> aguitel, you could try using unetbootin don't see why it wouldn't work, but never tried.
[21:45] <terry> qin: Are you lookong for mtools ?
[21:45] <Testtube1> Foxx which version of ubuntu?
[21:45] <aguitel> zykotick9, not working
[21:45] <dawid> Tradis-mouth whore, control yourself
[21:45] <qin> terry: No
[21:45] <ThinkT510> aikInsaan: how many workspaces do you need?
[21:46] <Foxx> testtube1: 10.04 and up...I have had the issue on every single ubuntu install
[21:46] <qin> zykotick9: nmcli comes with network-manager (from 0.8.1+)
[21:46] <zykotick9> qin, does "dpkg -S nm-tool" give any output?
[21:46] <aikInsaan> ThinkT510: well 4 at least...
[21:46] <qin> hudo: nmcli can also disable network.
[21:46] <vlt> tardis, terry: Thank you.
[21:47] <cook1es_> Does notepad++ exist for ubuntu?
[21:47] <ThinkT510> aikInsaan: xfce definitly does a lot more than 4 (i use 6 regularly)
[21:47] <ikonia> cook1es_: no
[21:47] <aikInsaan> ThinkT510: and lubuntu?
[21:47] <hudo> qin, is this own package, or does t belong to another package ?
[21:47] <cook1es_> ikonia: thanks
[21:47] <Testtube1> modprobe rtl8187 ?
[21:47] <ThinkT510> aikInsaan: not sure, but i'd guess more than 4
[21:47] <qin> hudo: It should be installed, man nmcli
[21:47] <cook1es_> Can someone suggest a equally or better text-editor like Notepad++?
[21:48] <aikInsaan> cool, thanks ThinkT510
[21:48] <qin> cook1es_: vim, gvim
[21:48] <ThinkT510> aikInsaan: no worries :)
[21:48] <cook1es_> qin: looks good, thanks
[21:49] <Foxx> Testtube1: modprobe? it is rtl8187 for realtek. I am not sure what you were asking
[21:49] <terry> cook1es_: vim
[21:49] <qin> cook1es_: It is very powerfull editor, seed plugins to match your needs
[21:49] <qin> *see
[21:50] <ThinkT510> cook1es_: or you could use notepad++ in wine (yeah, not an elegant solution)
[21:50] <Testtube1> Foxx its being found but not connecting? is that the issue?
[21:50] <sudokill> cook1es_, gedit
[21:50] <wildbat> cook1es_: geany
[21:51] <Foxx> Testtube1: No, it works perfect on the live cd, but after I install...the system doest see it.
[21:51] <terry> Foxx: Is this a laptop?
[21:52] <terry> Foxx: lspci |grep ireless
[21:52] <Foxx> terry: No this is a custom built desktop. the card is a usb dongle
[21:52] <Testtube1> Foxx do you have any other way of getting online other than wireless on the desktop?
[21:53] <Foxx> Testtube1: Not at home...I brought the tower over to a relatives to see if I could get help.
[21:54] <terry> Foxx: What does lspci say about it?
[21:54] <Foxx> terry: it gave me no feedback. O.o
[21:54] <Testtube1> Foxx: as terry requested it would be helpful it you showed the results of lspci
[21:54] <qin> Foxx: remove dongle, in terminal: tail -f /var/log/dmesg, connect dongle...
[21:55] <Testtube1> Foxx: That card does need proprietary drivers i think
[21:55] <Foxx> terry: I just tried again. I will pastebin it
[21:55] <Testtube1> If you could get to hardware drivers from system/admin
[21:55] <Testtube1> you may be able to luck out.
[21:55] <terry> Foxx: What does lsusb say about it?

[21:56] <RichardRaseley> Hello all, I am beginning the process of (attempting) to teach myself C. Can anyone recommend a good IDE that is supported in Ubuntu 11.04 or should I just such it up and use gedit + gcc?
[21:57] <RichardRaseley> suck*
